Guns aren't a deterrent to bad government like the NRA says

ALL weapons that can be used for self-defense can also be used to Kill. It's up to the person.. not the weapon.
We need to focus on taking personal responsibility for how we use everything... then we could start trusting our neighbors again instead of asking the government to step in and force our neighbors not to drive the car they want, or use too much electricity, or ask the government to disarm our neighbors so they are helpless without someone from the government coming to protect them.
We all need to take more personal responsibility for our actions... and quit seeing the government as a tool to control our neighbors, or expecting the government to solve all our problems for us.

@Sunny - you despise the NRA because they help corporations make a profit selling products that people want to buy? How is that a bad thing? Is it that corporations are bad? Or are profits bad?

You really believe that? If that's the extent of your knowledge, no wonder you support gun control. It won't take the radical left long to convince you also that guns used in sports should also be banned. Why not try the old adage "Guns kill"?

You are a hoot... and you really belive the stuff you post!
At 2:06 and 3:10 you told the same story (about the guy in NY who had the police at his door revoking his constitutional rights because they got a disparaging report on him). You said, "the man was mentally ill, had thoughts of committing suicide, and was taking powerful psychotropic medications"... But you conveniently failed to mention that the NY State Police later said they made a mistake and issueed an apology and acknowledged that the guy they descended on was the wrong guy. Instead you said, "The State of New York was doing the right thing"... REALLY??? Even THEY admitted that they did the WRONG thing!
I can give you references to their apology if you didn't read it.
You really should stay up on the news. You sound so silly claiming the police did the right thing in this case. When we know they retracted all the accusations against him!

"Would allowing citizens to purchase machine guns, drones and nukes actually improve Congress's approval rating"
The NRA is HATED by the socialist- communist - progressive left in this country simply because guns don't exist in the hands of private citizens in a communist society (USSR, China, Cuba, etc...). The NRA IS main stream America - the NRA IS a living, breathing representation of the constitution and bill of rights and that is why it is so hated by the Obama White House and all of the Washington liberals and the stink hole of Hollywood. America is a nation divided thanks to Barack but that was the "hope n change" plan all along. Expect more division, more hate, more attacks against freedom and our Constitution because that is THE master plan from the left. The American main stream is now in a minority with the low information hand out crowd the growing majority. Where will the US be in 10 years? Perhaps Greece and other socialist Europe now in bankruptcy? Perhaps Detroit and LA? These are all ugly step children of socialism. NY is in free fall as well. By the way - machine guns are illegal. Wise up.
MapleDon Springville, UTApril 30, 2013 10:14 a.m.
Thanks Dane. You make complete sense (tongue in cheek). Now, let's shut down our military, since guns and munitions aren't a deterrent to any bad government. And while we're at it, let's continue to blame the NRA, and get the public's attention turned away from the Constitution and that pesky 2nd Amendment. It's all their fault.
Truth be told, Dane, we're not all that stupid. But you keep up your radical leftist view. We'll keep ours. By the way, I'm going to buy a gun today.

To those who think it is impossible to stand up to tyrants and governments with far superior weaponry, why then do we honor the fallen victims of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising? Facing superior forces they fought for a month before all being killed. Why do we honor them? They were just to stupid to go peacefully to the Triblinka death camp?
This man was mentally unstable, had been listed as a "danger to himself and/or others" by his Doctor ([professional psychiatrist]?), and had been prescribed powerful pyschotropic [mind altering] medications (What were they, don't interject adjectives?), and had been alerted to local authorities. No State police.
You do realize the meds were simple anti-anxiety not MSNBC talking points. Remember that HIPPA law the government medical records would never be made available to government or public access? Major breach of the law. You do realize that Lisinopril a blood pressure med is mind altering. Ibupofen includes a warning "psychiatric side effects have included case reports of pseudodementia and psychotic exacerbation."

A hired shill, shield, front, lobby, running political cover for weapons manufacturers.

When weapons manufacturers no longer need the nra to enable them to make a profit, from those who put their money where their mouths are... they will drop the nra like a hot rock...looking for a new tool to help them make even more money.

"That is totally irrelevant, And they had no probelm with owning the most destructive weapons available in thier day, like the cannon."
Those weapons had the ability to kill tens... not hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands with a single use. They didn't have weapons where they could operated from safe distances, and attack with impunity. But in the end, I real do hope as you say, this is all irrelevant.
If we come to a time, that we need to institute policy change by killing our neighbors, that is pretty mush a country I wish to have nothing to do with. Those who would express their opinions via the end of a gun are not the kind of people I would ever want to be leading this country. If we ever get to the point where political changes requires the killing of elected leaders.... I will be the first one heading for the doors. You can have that brand of America.

Isn't it Obama's administration, via the DHS, that is hoarding ammunition?
Isn't it Obama that wants to be able to use drones on his own citizens?
Isn't it the progressives, and the extreme left that want to disarm the citizenry, and render them powerless and defenseless? From What? For what reason? To what end?
It is all about power and control.
The founders wanted the power and control in the hands of the people,
The left and progressive want quite the opposite, again, one must ask why? Control in the hands of elitists using the central government.

To cjb, Mike Richards, J Thompson, RedShirt, & others:
The Second Amendment might have been an effective deterrent to government tyranny when it was drafted and adopted, but it is completely inadequate to that purpose today.
If you think that the only thing standing in the way of the United States becoming a totalitarian military regime is a bunch of citizens with Ruger Mini-14s & Desert Eagles, then you are more deluded that I would have believed possible.
Let's put it this way -- in the exceedingly unlikely event of an armed confrontation between the U.S. military (defending the U.S. Government against insurrection, for better or worse) and the aforementioned citizens, I like the military's chances . . .
2 bits Cottonwood Heights, UTApril 29, 2013 3:37 p.m.
Just because your friends tell you it's not a deterent... doesn't make it so. Study history and it would easily prove them wrong. Let's take a look at history both old and recent that disproves the assertion that it's not a deterent.
1. Armed non-military population played a significant roll in the Colonies overcomming bad government (King George of England)
2. It kept Japan from seriously considering invading the US mainland. General Isoroku Yamamoto, Commander-in-Chief of the imperial Japanse Navy said it would be foolish to invade the American mainland because there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.
If your history illiterate friends say, "Well that was a long time ago, armed civilians wouldn't be a serious deterent to a any modern military"...
1. Armed civilians in Viet Nam.
2. Armed civilian militias in Afganastan the held off the 2nd strongest military in the world, the Russian military.
3. The Iraq military was wiped out in a day... but the armed civilaian insurgency held off the strongest military the world has ever known for a decade?
Obviously an armed population can be a factor.
J Thompson SPRINGVILLE, UTApril 29, 2013 3:12 p.m.
I'm hoping that the date on that requirement said it all: April 1st, otherwise, whoever sent that notice should be hauled into court in a "New York minute". "Shall not be infringed" includes New York State.

One example.
On April 1st, a legal gun owner in upstate New York reportedly received an official notice from the state ordering him to surrender any and all weapons to his local police department. The note said that the person's permit to own a gun in New York was being suspended as well.
Did you bother to determine - Why?
If you did - you would learn the man was mentally ill, had thoughts of committing suicide, and was taking powerful psychotropic medications with FDA Black Labels warning of the possible side-effects of suicidal behavior intensifying.
The State of New York was doing the right thing.

Apparently, if people do not respond to the initial mailing, local law enforcement is authorized to visit the gun owner at their home and demand the surrender of the firearms. In this case, the gun owner followed the request as written. The guns and permits were handed over and a receipt given to the client.

UtahBlueDevil Durham, NCApril 28, 2013 6:49 p.m.
The Truth.... the founding fathers never foresaw a day when the militaries of the world would have as the destructive power they have today. The gap between the weaponry of a modern military and the average citizen is beyond anything they could have comprehended. To pretend otherwise is unrealistic.
But they also didn't foresee the bloodless revolutions that have happened over the last couple of decades. in the last four, we have had 3 dictators removed from office, without a full blown revolution. Poland gained its independence. Germany was reunited. China has seen a huge turn from its previous ways. Even in Vietnam and Cambodia, the communist party has lost its stranglehold rule of tyranny - not through armed insurrection - but the will of the people.
So lets stop thinking that any number of AR-15s would stop even the most average of modern military. THis idea of an 18th century militia keeping the government at bey... this is a figment of the past. The military has far too advance weapons... just because they haven't used them doesn't mean they don't have the capability.
RedShirt USS Enterprise, UTApril 28, 2013 6:47 p.m.
To "Dane Henderson" I think that former President Kadaffi, from Libya might have another opinion about being afraid of guns in the hand of its populace. So would the Russian Tsars, the Chinese government, Syria is learning about guns in the hands of its people, Korea, and Vietnam understand what happens when the populace doesn't agree with you and decide to make changes outside of the ballot box.
You forget that people can already buy drones.
To those of you who are want to remove guns from the hands of citizens, did you see the news yesterday? A man in Salt Lake was going around stabbing people until a legal gun holder stopped him. Would you have wanted more people at Smiths to have been injured waiting for police?

Guns aren't a deterrent to bad government,
But they are absolutely required to replace bad government. NO wonder the left,and any leftest or bad government in the history of the world wants to take them away, and destroy any voice that supports them.
Reading any thoughts by the founders on the second amendment, and military weapons are exactly what it was meant to protect.

If political change requires a gun to make it happen... it is doomed.
If somehow one believes a threat of violent acts against elected officials is required to preserve our government and constitution, they haven't paid enough attention to history... at least in my opinion.
Change based on coercion is almost always the worst for of change.
The NRA has this point really really wrong.
cjb Bountiful, UTApril 28, 2013 2:11 p.m.
Guns aren't a deterrent too bad government like the NRA says?
When all is said and done, it doesn't matter what the NRA says. What matters is what the constitution says. What it says is ...
Militias are necessary for the preservation of a free state. Also the right of the People to have guns shall not be infringed.
Yes the NRA does speak of a tyranical government such as when the Nazis went after the Jews. Other possibilities where citizen militias would be useful is to defend against crime when the police or National Guard can't be there, or be there on time, typically this would happen in a natural disaster. Oftentimes the police can't be there to protect against a home invader in time therefor family members have to be a militia to help preserve a state free against crime. Yes NRA does emphasize government tyranny but there are other threats to a free state where a militia can be of service.
cjb Bountiful, UTApril 28, 2013 1:47 p.m.
The kind of guns protected by the 2nd Ammendment are the kind of guns that would be suitable for militia service. Militarys around the world all have fully automatic guns. However seldom are these guns ever used on fully automatic mode. It very wasteful of ammunition and seldom does the need arise.
Therefore our restriction in law of fully automatic guns is probably constitutional. However to restrict people from having semi automatic guns would not be constitutional because lesser guns would not be suitable for militia service in today's world.
jsf Centerville, UTApril 28, 2013 1:42 p.m.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein unveiled a gun control proposal that would require federally approved licensing of all owners of handguns and certain semi-automatic weapons.
official would then record the gun sale and licensing with the Treasury Department. Applicants would be required to submit a thumb print, a photograph, their name, birthplace and address, and sign a statement swearing that the information is accurate.
The licenses would be renewable every five years and could be revoked. gun confiscation!!!!!!

If you think you have the weapons to defer the government from going after you for your crimes then go for it. I for one would prefer to attempt to prevent legal gun sales to the incompetent, in sane, and criminals. Please don't continue the delusion that nothing can be done because otherwise let's repeal all public safety laws because there are violators everywhere you turn. Doing nothing is approval.
J Thompson SPRINGVILLE, UTApril 28, 2013 12:37 p.m.
What is the value of freedom? Apparently, most posters don't think much of the concept of being independent from government control. They DEMAND that we check our freedom at the door and that someone from the government be there to see who gets which freedom. Is that the way it should work? I don't think so. The people are in charge, not the government. Basic freedoms are independent of the government. At no time have the people ceded those rights to the control of the government.
As long as people can't live without a nanny, there will be those who call for government to fill that spot in their lives. Unfortunately, too many people would rather listen to platitudes from a "rock star" president than do the work required of a free people to guard their freedoms from the pilfering fingers of corrupt politicians whose first desire is take away our right to defend ourselves.
Compare the taxes that England levied on us to the taxes that Obama wants to levy and you'll see just how far we have fallen as a people who claim to love freedom from government control.

Ironic that, after the Boston Marathon bombing, the media and many others were quick to say, "Don't condemn all Muslims because of the act of a few crazies."

@Mad Hatter
You said - "The primary concern of the NRA is to take advantage of tragic events, manipulate them to increase fear and paranoia amongst the American public, and make the gun industry greater profits."
You've got to be kidding me.
If anything it is the anti-gun advocates that take advantage of tragic shootings. All the NRA and gun owners are doing is attempting to defend themselves from the onslaught of attacks.
After the Newtown, Aurora and Tucson shootings, it was the anti-gun advocates, allied by their friends in Hollywood (oh the hypocrisy there) that first jumped in front of the TV cameras doing all the manipulating and fear mongering. Read through just about any newspaper in the country. The editorial and political cartoonists have spent the last few months attacking and condemning the NRA and gun owners left and right.
the old switcharoo mesa, AZApril 28, 2013 11:37 a.m.
Any honest look at the good government to guns correlation theory shows it to be false.
1. The US has by far more guns per capita than any other country. Twice as many as the nearest country Yemen and we have 20 - 50 times as many as European nations.
2. Our government is corrupted by special interest money anyway.
Guns are good at poking holes in things, they are terrible personal defense. Being able to poke a hole in the other guy doesn't keep him from poking a hole in you first. Don't let the guy get in your house in the first place.

Drones are actually another excellent example of how the 1790 era 2nd Amendment context of citizens uprising against their own tyrannical government becomes more absurd as weapons technology gets more sophisticated.
Are you going to be firing your AR-15 at the drones circling at 25,000 feet as they locate your position through high-tech guidance and prepare to launch a missile to destroy everything in your vicinity on the ground?
Here's what's really happening: the more Obama haters talk about our current government being "tyrannical", the more the rest of us think the hard right are themselves becoming radicalized, even more detached from reality (eg, the Birthers) a potential threat, ala Tim McVeigh.
You guys have worked yourselves into a paranoid fantasy, thinking the armed forces will join you in overthrowing Obama, when all you're really doing is sowing the seeds for more needless deaths under the guise of a hallucinatory apocalyptic fantasy.

Dane true to liberal form you totally misunderstand the argument about guns and the relationship to a free people. Neither the NRA nor gun owner claim that guns prevent "bad" government. Stupid voters have caused bad government. Guns ownership and an armed citizenry prevent a tyrannical Government from taking away your other constitutional rights is part of the argument. Your ludicrous statement about owning drones and and other large military equipment has never been the desire or freedom loving people, but the average citizen should be allowed the arms of an average soldier for defense in the event of a government take over.

The citizens of the United States have more guns now than at any time in history. We also have more public and private debt now than at any time in history.

UtahBlueDevil Durham, NCApril 28, 2013 7:23 a.m.
Dan... in most ways I completely agree with you. The NRA is a special interest group of a shrinking percentage of our population. There isn't much the NRA does I think that promotes the real interest of "gun owners". They are clearly interested in other segments.
But, and as much as I hate to say this, we have to protect special interest groups rights. Women gaining the right to vote started as a special interest groups agenda. Equal rights under the law was started as a special interest groups agenda. There were competing interest groups to both of these. The Klan was a large lubby group that opposed both of these - as was better funded - that ultimately lost the battle. It took blacks nearly 100 years after so call freedom to actually gain political equality under the law.
ERA ultimately failed. It asked for too much, but its overall goals have largely been recognized. The NRA will eventually fail. In my area, the majority of democrats I know are also gun owners. There is no solid blockagains the NRA right now. But eventually they will over step, and the tide will turn, and reasonable laws passed.
Roland Kayser Cottonwood Heights, UTApril 28, 2013 7:18 a.m.

Dane, you are looking at this issue completely incorrectly. Its only a bad government that would try to take guns away from free citizens. It's called FREEDOM! What kind of government restricts people's freedom? That's right, a bad government, just like what bad governments did in Nazi Germany, communist Russia, and every other dictatorship in the history of the world! And you are all in favor of that, right?
Fitness Freak Salt Lake City, UTApril 28, 2013 6:59 a.m.

The Supreme Court has already ruled on this issue.
It would take a constitutional amendment to change things. Good luck with that!
If this is a biased letter (against the NRA)the commentator needs to remember that if he limits the NRA, he also must limit Planned Parenthood, La Raza, pharmaceutical industry, Hollywood lobbyists, etc.
Just because the columnist doesn't like the results of NRA lobbying, he needs to realize they (the NRA)worked as all lobbyists do. To influence votes.
Mad Hatter Provo, UTApril 28, 2013 1:52 a.m.
The primary concern of the NRA is to take advantage of tragic events, manipulate them to increase fear and paranoia amongst the American public, and make the gun industry greater profits. Concerns about gun safety and keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, terrorists, mentally-unstable, and others in the public interest is essentially non-existent despite the rhetoric from the NRA. In fact, the NRA would probably like to eliminate background checks currently required of licensed gun stores.
It doesn't make much sense to require background checks when purchasing a gun at a licensed gun store when an individual is not required when purchasing a gun in any other venue. The NRA appears to be fine with a criminal or terrorist purchasing a gun and leave it up to "good guys with a gun" to shoot it out when confronted by the "bad guy with a gun."
And the whole nonsense about having to defend hearth and home against a tyrannical government is simply ludicrous. Considering the mess we have in Congress, the idea of government becoming tyrannical is too silly for words. They can't get anything done with the crazy nuts we have there now.

An optimal algorithm for minimizing the number of columns (width) in a three-sided switchbox, when the modules are allowed to slide, is presented. The proposed algorithm runs in O(mn+e log e) time, where m and n are the number of terminals on the top and on the bottom, and e is the total number of feasible alignments (e>or=mn). The movable-module model considered is a generalization, and a realistic version, of the (previously studied) movable-terminal model.

Jacques Delors
The Face of Europe
This Constitutional Treaty would not have been possible ten or twenty years ago. For the first time, a shared political project is taking shape in which economic considerations are no longer paramount; instead, it speaks in clear and simple terms of the Union's values, of the goals of the enlarged Europe and of fundamental rights. What is taking shape is the face of Europe, its identity card, which any citizen can carry with him in his luggage to tell the world what the European project is. It is an anchor for European democracy and for the EU's dual legitimacy - derived from both states and citizens - with the European Parliament strengthened and social and civil dialogue more explicitly acknowledged. It is a legal basis for services of general interest. It makes flexible provision for the use of enhanced cooperation. It affirms the European model of the social market economy, by which the EU, in its dealings with the rest of the world, promotes the sustainable development of the planet, free and fair trade and the eradication of poverty. The words are unambiguous and all that is needed for them to take flesh is the political will.
All the things that the Single Act had set in motion in social matters, both as regards dialogue and collective agreements and as regards territorial cohesion, are still possible. The strengthening of the Eurogroup means that, more than ever, we have it within our capacity to restore the balance of the Economic and Monetary Union. Combating the idea that nations must compete against each other, particularly in fiscal matters, is a matter of urgency, and impossible without the Constitutional Treaty and the more vigorous exercise of European democracy. In adopting this Treaty, we must say "yes" while remaining vigilant, having said that "yes", we must follow it up with European solidarity and the seeking-out of alliances that will enable us to move on down the road of political and social integration. Those who speak of a salutary "no" fail to recognise that the European project owes its soul to mutual respect and understanding between nations; to speak as they do is to flee the battlefield and lose our capacity to realise the political and social conquests of tomorrow.

RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
One person who's been paying close attention to the Olympics in China is the actress and activist Mia Farrow. Mia Farrow's a leading voice in the campaign to hold China accountable for the hundreds of thousands of deaths in Darfur. That's because it buys oil from Sudan and, in turn, sells weapons back to that warring country.
The actress has helped publicize an effort to shame Beijing through the Olympics into pressuring Sudan to stop what has been called a genocide. Farrow is in Chad this week at the Oure Cassoni Refugee Camp, just a few miles from the border of Darfur, and joined us on the line there earlier this morning. Good morning.
Ms. MIA FARROW (Actor, Activist): Good morning.
MONTAGNE: Could you please give us a snapshot, if you will, of what it looks like around you?
Ms. FARROW: Oh, it's like the edge of the earth. It's the desert. I'm seeing not a tree nor a blade of grass. I'm at the edge of the refugee camp. I should mention that we are literally on the Darfur border. We can see Darfur from here. People can cross in and cross out.
MONTAGNE: And the people around you, clearly, they're refugees.
Ms. FARROW: There are 27,000 refugees who are here in this camp at the edge of the desert, fled from their varying villages. Bombs fell upon them, and then they were attacked by Janjaweed Arab militia on horseback. Many were killed, and people came here in terror, and they live in terror.
Just last month, there were three bombings. People saw the planes circling slowly above, and they saw the bombs falling, and aid agencies have provided what they thought and hoped would be just temporary shelter. But nearly five years have gone by, and the people here - I think rations of hope are pretty meager.
MONTAGNE: You have been working on behalf of Darfur for a long time, and in particular, targeting China. For a while, there with a fair amount of negative publicity as regards to China and the Olympics, but it seems as if the Olympics are going off more or less without a hitch come this Friday.
Ms. FARROW: I wouldn't say it was without a hitch. I think the Olympics have been tainted. We knew that they would go forward no matter what happened, but they had hoped - China had hoped to have an untarnished Olympic games, you know, a full celebration. And I think that coming-out party for Beijing, there were plenty of spoilers for that, and with good reason.
Really, for Beijing, we have two things to persuade their close business partner, President al-Bashir and his regime, to cease the bombing and attacks upon civilians and to cease obstructing the full deployment of the joint hybrid mission, peace-keeping protection mission for Darfur.
You know, we want to see two things happening in Darfur: a legitimate peace process, and in the meantime, protection, protection, protection for this vulnerable population. And the one with the greatest power to persuade Khartoum has been China, but China has rendered toothless every single U.N. resolution to provide adequate protection for the people. So we're still asking China to use its considerable influence to persuade Khartoum to do these things.
MONTAGNE: Where will you be on Friday when the opening ceremony for the Olympics happens?
Ms. FARROW: I will be in one of the camps - for the security of the people in the camps and my own security, I'm not going to say which camp. But I will be there because I think the people who have been most profoundly affected should, at this moment, be heard from.
MONTAGNE: Thank you very much for joining us.
Ms. FARROW: Thank you very much.
MONTAGNE: Mia Farrow is an actor and an advocate, and she's the chair of the organization Dream for Darfur. She spoke to us from Chad, on the border with Darfur.

Putting more thought into exterior design and interior space and convenience have been part of I.D. vehicle development using the MEB concept, said Klaus Bischoff, head of design for the Volkswagen brand.
Despite government subsidies and other encouragement, electric cars have yet to catch on with China's driving public due to concern about their limited range.
Dubbed "I.D. Crozz" - a goofy name VW nearly certainly won't use for the production model - the vehicle will deliver 302 horsepower, 311 miles of range and can be driven in autonomous mode, VW said.
The world's major carmakers are showing their latest new energy cars-some of them concept models-at the ongoing Shanghai auto show, eying up the potential of the world's largest new energy vehicle market.
The pressure for electrification in China is an added headache for automakers at a time when sales growth is slowing and competition heating up in a market they are counting on to drive global revenue.
The I.D. Crozz Crossover concept will be compact looking and will have a lowered roofline than that of 2018 Tiguan.
Volkswagen's VOWG_p.DE China Chief Jochem Heizmann said the carmaker plans to launch a pure battery electric vehicle in China this year amid continued uncertainty over how China's electric auto quotas will be applied.
The first concept whose full details we can cover is the Volkswagen ID Crozz, another in VW's series of ID battery-electric concepts, this one a "four-door coupe crossover" utility vehicle. It's not a guarantee that the concept vehicle will ever be produced.
The I.D. CROZZ actually looks like a less refine version of Audi's own concept, but the latter is actually slated for production in 2019 while VW's all-electric crossover has no production timeline.
One particularly impressive statistic about the concept's battery is that it can be charged to 80 per cent capacity in just 30 minutes when using a 150 kW DC electrical charging system. Additionally, important information about the vehicle is projected on the screen with the help of augmented reality. As with VW's other I.D. concepts, touching the VW badge at the center of the steering wheel causes it to retract into the dash, allowing for more space in the driver's compartment while the vehicle drives itself.
VW's fantasy crossover EV also features a customized in-car climate "CleanAir" system to provide "air quality like that in the Himalayas" even if you a stuck in Shanghai traffic. When this mode is activated by pushing the VW logo on the steering wheel for three seconds, said steering wheel retracts back flush with the dashboard. More touch-operated controls have been implemented onto the door panels. With a well-tuned front-strut/rear-multilink suspension and a 48/52 percent weight distribution, the automaker also claims that handling of the I.D. Crozz is similar in character to that of a GTI. They also create ambient lighting visible inside and out.
The design language for the I.D. Dubbed MEB by Volkswagen, it is the group's third pure battery-electric auto architecture, along with Porsche's Mission E and an electric SUV to sit on the J1 architecture, and Audi's standalone layout called C-BEV. The I.D. Crozz will play a key role in that.
The SUV concept is already being pushed by Volkswagen brand CEO Herbert Diess as a production probability for 2020, with the timing of its market launch set to coincide with the EU's new emissions rules (which will demand a 95-gram/km corporate fleet fuel economy average).
"This is a challenge but also an opportunity because we will quickly gain large volumes and gain sufficient scale to make electromobility cost effective enough so that it will also be a success in Germany and the United States", he told Reuters.

Australia's car industry was in crisis after a strike at a Victorian parts maker halted production at Ford and threatened manufacturing at two other companies.
Urgent talks were being held in the Australian Industrial Relations Commission (AIRC) to resolve a dispute that has led to the stand-down of at least 2,000 Ford workers in Melbourne.
Staff at Ford's major manufacturing plant at Broadmeadows in Melbourne were stood down and told to stay home on Monday because a strike at Huon Corporation has caused a parts shortage.
Nearly 600 workers at three factories owned by Huon walked off the job last Friday in support of 122 staff made redundant, and who fear they will lose entitlements.
Ford said the stand-downs would continue until Huon staff returned to work and has not ruled out standing down staff at its Geelong plant next week.
Holden said its production was not assured beyond Monday, and Toyota said it would assess the situation on a day-by-day basis.
Unions, Huon's administrators and the car manufacturers returned to the AIRC after failing to reach a resolution on Thursday.
Late Friday, the National Union of Workers said it was unlikely an agreement would be reached.
Ford said its workers were initially stood down on 60 per cent pay, but would not be paid beyond Monday if the stand-downs continued.
However the union representing the 2,000 workers, the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union (AMWU), said it would approach Ford to ask it to "cushion the blow" for the workers.
Holden, which is supplied directly by Huon and uses their products indirectly through other suppliers, said it had sufficient stock to continue manufacturing into next week. But then production was uncertain.
"We know definitely Monday, after that we just have to assess the situation on an hour by hour basis," spokesman Jason Laird said.
Toyota spokesman Peter Griffin said the company was still in production but would not disclose the extent of its stocks.
"We still have product that has been made by Empire Rubber and we are dipping into that stock," he said.
"We'll just take it on a day-by-day basis."
The Huon factories affected by the walkout are Empire Rubber in Bendigo, FRN in Frankston and Mills Elastomers in Dandenong.
Huon does not supply Mitsubishi directly and a spokesman said the company had a "couple of weeks" supply of products sourced indirectly from Huon.
The Huon redundancies came after the company was placed in the hands of administrators SimsPartners.
Unions claim the staff are owed more than $30 million in entitlements, and the administrators began Supreme Court action against former directors and others to recover money allegedly stripped from the company.
NUW state secretary Antony (Antony) Thow said striking Huon staff would return to work once a satisfactory rescue plan was made for the company and issues of entitlements were resolved.
The administrator's proposed rescue package includes the car makers paying more for parts and signing long-term contracts with Huon, Mr Thow said.
The unions also want the car companies to step in to cover Huon's sacked workers' entitlements.

Adult Empire
Adult Empire is another big porn store that has enjoyed a lot of success with adult products over the last few years. They've recently turned toward more DVD and online video sales, but they still ship products and if you want something physical to get your hands on, this might be the place to go. Anyway, let's start with the DVDs: releases are added on a regular basis with products like Young Lawyers Take Cock, Tonight's Girlfriend, Fuck That Asshole and Jurassic Juggs. If you want to buy some Blu-ray content, there's some here too - most of it Japanese. You can also get VODs here for pretty cheap, either rent or complete purchase.
Sex toys on Adult Empire are a little on the skinny side, but you can get stuff like the 'MILF In A Box Pocket Pussy' and 'Finger Fuck Glove' - it's not the biggest collection, but there's certainly some interesting things here, most of which I'd rate on the good side of things. Shipping rates seem good and time frames more than acceptable, so whether you're hunting DVDs or butt plugs, visit Adult Empire today and see what they've got in store.
Review Pros
- Lots of products
- Good delivery times
Review Cons
- Mainly DVDs
- Live chat not 24/7

With reports earlier in the week that Kansas City Chiefs fans were already calling for the heads of GM Scott Pioli and quarterback Matt Cassel, speculation has increased about whether or not Brady Quinn or Ricky Stanzi will see any time in tomorrow's game against the Baltimore Ravens. While Quinn's stats haven't been overly impressive at this point, he was hardly given a chance with the Cleveland Browns, starting just 10 games. He also has some experience playing in coach Romeo Crennel's system while Crennel was the head coach in Cleveland.
The last time he faced the Ravens, Cassel was completely manhandled in a divisional playoff game, and the Chiefs lost 30-7. He threw no touchdowns and 3 interceptions, and it's hard to think that Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, and Haloti Ngata aren't licking their lips with the thought of another chance to terrorize the struggling quarterback. At 1-3, the Chiefs will be more or less eliminated from playoff contention if they lose another game at this point. The Chiefs will try to pound the ball with Jamaal Charles and Shaun Draughn, but some sort of passing attack will be needed to have a fighting chance in the game.
At this point, Quinn deserves a chance. It may not mean much, but he is familiar with the AFC North as a former starter for the Browns and was a great college quarterback at Notre Dame. He didn't look great in the preseason, but when your starting quarterback looks as bad as Cassel has so far, it's time to give the next guy a shot.

Recently, the nice folks at Pinnacle Vodka sent me a new flavor to test. Brian and I already have quite a nice flavor collection but this is one that wasn't in our arsenal yet. That's pretty amazing, actually, since we have trouble passing a liquor store without wanting to browse and those sweet blue bottles always seem to call to us. We'll see a flavor we haven't tried before and we both look at each other and can almost see our cocktail making wheels spinning. Otherwise, we're normal people. Really.

We may order some wine with dinner and serve beer at summer outings but there's something so interesting about the perfect blend of ingredients in a fine cocktail. We do a lot of...um...sampling around here and we're always trying to achieve the right balance between sweet, tart and spirit.
Some of the recipes you'll find here over time will be our favorite versions of classics and some will be recreations of delights we found on our travels but most will be our very own creations. There may even be a review, here and there. So, welcome. We hope you'll follow us on social media and keep coming back for more rounds. Cheers!

Wind Powered Generation of energy is rapidly taking center stage in the search for a clean, renewable source of energy production. It offers an environmentally friendly renewable source of generation and it is not dependent on fuel consumption to generate energy.
House Bill 6 required Delmarva Power to submit a Request For Proposals (RFP) to build or acquire energy-generating capacities. The first two considerations for successful bidding proposals in HB 6 are "price stability" and "environmental improvement". At the Delmarva Power Generation RFP workshop hosted by the Public Service Commission that I attended on 8/18/06 in Dover these primary considerations were discussed at length. Testimony and subsequent comments on the topic reinforces the reality that Wind Power is the technology that offers the most environmentally friendly and economically stable source of energy generation to address our future needs. Unlike the Coal-fired gasification proposals, wind power requires neither disposal of byproducts in its process nor use of fuels that are subject to wild market fluctuations and finite supply. Testimony and subsequent comments on the topic reinforced the reality that Wind Power is the technology that offers the most environmentally friendly and economically stable source to address our future energy needs.
It appears that Bluewater Wind LLC is poised to make a serious, long-term commitment in the RFP process and build a wind powered generating facility. Their efforts to supply a stable, renewable, cost effective source of energy merits support of the public and our legislature. Wind Power technology offers all the advantages we seek to stabilize energy costs and wean us from resource consumption.

More about Tramadol painkiller
Opioids proceed to be the cornerstone of efficient ache remedy in veterinary drugs. When this occurs, the vet could choose to prescribe additional medication (equivalent to NSAIDs) to be used along side tramadol. Instance: Utilizing a dosage of 1 mg/lb, a 50 pound canine could also be given 50 mg every 12 hours. In these cases NSAIDs are prone to be prescribed to be given together with the tramadol. Tramadol dependence and withdrawal may be greatest managed by means of medical detox, which is the most comprehensive type of drug detox.
Buprenorphine: Another lengthy-appearing partial opioid agonist, buprenorphine also fills opioid receptors for an extended amount of time than tramadol; nevertheless, buprenorphine is only a partial opioid agonist, meaning it shouldn't activate these receptors in the identical method. Animal studies with tramadol revealed at very excessive doses effects on organ growth, ossification and neonatal mortality. May indicate an allergic response, especially when multiple marked symptoms are present. Withdrawal of the serotoninergic medicinal merchandise often brings a few rapid enchancment. Trauma, neglect, power stress, and abuse can contribute to the onset of a substance use disorder, as can the age at which an individual first makes use of or abuses medication.
Regular interference of tramadol with the brain's chemical messengers may cause physical adjustments in a few of the pathways and constructions of the brain. When your dog is in ache, all you want to do is make that pain go away, however ache remedy made for people is not safe for canines. For sufferers with creatinine clearance <30ml/min, the dosage interval needs to be increased to 12 hours. Tramadol is an atypical opioid, a sort of ache medicine, that's used to reduce acute or chronic pain in canine.
Pregnancy & Nursing: Tramadol 3 days delivery passes in milk in low amounts and has been shown to be embryotoxic and fetotoxic at excessive doses. Tramadol will not be advisable in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <10ml/min). Tramadol may be injected either intravenously (into the bloodstream) or subcutaneously (below the pores and skin). If lengthy-term pain treatment with tramadol is necessary in view of the nature and severity of the illness, then cautious and common monitoring should be carried out (if essential with breaks in remedy) to ascertain whether and to what extent further remedy is necessary. If tramadol is used persistently to manage persistent ache, however, especially ache that grows more extreme because of a progressive sickness, your dog may start to tolerate it. At this level, it might not provide ample ranges of ache aid by itself.
Naltrexone: As an opioid antagonist, naltrexone may be greatest fitted to use after early withdrawal, when buying tramadol online is totally faraway from the body to maintain opioid abstinence. The way in which a person takes tramadol is a factor in withdrawal and drug dependence as effectively. If your pet suffers any serious reactions to the drug similar to respiration difficulties or allergy signs you should contact a vet straight away. Some of the more intense psychological symptoms of withdrawal, like depression and drug cravings, could also be managed with the assistance of medications during medical detox.
Tramadol can induce convulsions and enhance the potential for selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, (SSRIs), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), tricyclic anti-depressants, anti-psychotics and different seizure threshold reducing medicinal merchandise (equivalent to bupropion, mirtazapine, tetrahydrocannabinol) to trigger convulsions.
Medication and pharmaceutical management may be very beneficial to ease tramadol withdrawal symptoms and create a level of physical stabilization. The standard dosage needs to be divided in 2, or the dosage interval needs to be extended to 12 hours. Thus, tramadol withdrawal may very well take two completely different forms: traditional opioid withdrawal syndrome or atypical opioid withdrawal syndrome. These medications can ease withdrawal symptoms, manage drug cravings, and help a person chorus from returning to drug use. Warning should be exercised throughout concomitant treatment with tramadol and coumarin derivatives (e.g. warfarin) due to stories of increased INR with main bleeding and ecchymoses in some patients. Concomitant administration of Tramadol with other centrally depressant medicinal merchandise together with alcohol could potentiate the CNS results (see section 4.eight). Medical personnel could use a variety of medicines or supplements to focus on specific signs of tramadol withdrawal.
Because tramadol will not be a typical opioid drug, it doesn't carry the chance of habit that's often related to opioids, says Dr. Hayley Adams, an skilled veterinarian and the founding father of the Silent Heroes Basis Because of this, it can be safer for some dogs than different opioid drugs. Normally, opioid withdrawal symptoms are thought to start out inside about 12 hours of the last dose. The potential for turning into dependent on tramadol may be higher for people abusing it, or with a historical past of substance abuse or dependancy, though studies have proven that tramadol can induce drug dependence when taken for lengthy periods of time with a legit prescription, the World Well being Group (WHO) publishes. There were almost 44 million prescriptions distributed for tramadol merchandise within the United States in 2013. In these patients prolongation of the dosage intervals ought to be fastidiously considered according to the patient's necessities.

Notes to broadcasters on farmers' groups
Date Posted: July 23rd, 2012
Like farmers' co-operatives, farmers' groups can benefit farmers in many ways. They can improve access to farming inputs and other resources, facilitate knowledge sharing, and boost income and social status. Like co-operatives, farmers' groups often focus on the processing and marketing of an agricultural product. The following stories from past FRWs provide some examples:
Malawi: How making juice can save a forest (FRW #161, June 2011)
Tanzania: Farmer-led irrigation scheme brings bumper harvest (FRW 199, May 2012) http://weekly.farmradio.org/2012/05/07/tanzania-farmer-led-irrigation-scheme-brings-bumper-harvest-by-paddy-roberts-for-farm-radio-weekly-in-tanzania/
Zambia: Better incomes through sorghum (FRW #118, July 2010)
Burkina Faso: Women's group finds new use for 'green gold' (FRW #100, February 2010)
Rwanda: Ban on plastic bags creates new market for banana bags (FRW #94, January 2010)
Swaziland: Women's weaving co-operative gives 'lift' to communities (FRW #75, August 2009)
Our latest script package, package 94, contains eight scripts and an issue pack on co-operatives. The issue pack gives examples of co-operatives, background information on co-operatives, production ideas for programming on co-operatives, and further resources on co-operatives – organizations, audio files, print documents, and a video. You can find package 94 at http://www.farmradio.org/english/radio-scripts/
For earlier scripts on co-operatives, go to: http://farmradio.org/english/radio-scripts/cooperatives.asp
Do farmers in your area work together to obtain better market prices for their products, or purchase inputs as a co-operative? You may wish to find a farmers' group and prepare a news story or arrange an on-air interview which profiles the group and their efforts:
-Who are the members of this group? Are they grouped by area, the type of crop they produce, etc.?
-When did they come together? What were individual farmers' experiences with processing and selling their crop prior to forming the group?
-Ask the members to describe in detail the process they use to process their goods, identify markets for their crops, gather them together, and sell them. Did they try other methods before determining that one method worked best?
-How much extra income do farmers earn as a result of group marketing, group processing, or group purchase of inputs? What are the other benefits of working as a group (saving time, learning from each other, etc.)?

On April 21, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an opinion in ONEOK, Inc., et al., v. Learjet, Inc. et al holding that state antitrust claims are not pre-empted by the Natural Gas Act. This important decision put the brakes on an attempt by FERC to expand its jurisdiction. The practical impact of the Court's decision is to provide natural gas pipeline customers with an alternative forum in which to litigate certain claims against FERC jurisdictional pipelines.
At issue are a set of cases that arose from the West-wide energy crisis in the early 2000s. The plaintiffs, a group of manufacturers, hospitals, and other retail buyers of natural gas, claimed that state antitrust laws were violated by defendants (natural gas traders) who allegedly manipulated the price of natural gas by reporting false information to price indices published by trade publications and engaging in wash sales. (These are transactions that give the appearance of purchases and sales, but without the trader incurring any market risk or change in position).
The claims were raised in various state and federal courts, and consolidated in a multidistrict litigation proceeding. The federal district court granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment, finding that the state antitrust claims were preempted by the NGA. The Ninth Circuit reversed the lower court's decision, reasoning that the state claims were aimed not at wholesale prices regulated by FERC, but rather at high retail prices, which are within the purview of the various states. The Supreme Court agreed.
The pipelines, joined by the federal government, argued that the state antitrust claims are preempted (by virtue of the Constitution's Supremacy Clause) because the NGA gives FERC exclusive authority over wholesale rates for natural gas, and that the state-law antitrust cases impermissibly tread into that preempted field. The Supreme Court disagreed, noting that the NGA "was drawn with meticulous regard for the continued exercise of state power" and finding that "the lawsuits are directed at practices affecting retail rates – which are 'firmly on the States side of the dividing line.'" This holding does not prejudge the final outcome of the underlying litigation, but rather merely allows the litigation to proceed.
Consistent with Congress' removing price controls on wellhead sales of natural gas, FERC has consistently relied on competitive pressures in the marketplace to keep wholesale prices "just and reasonable." As a further check, FERC has promulgated anti-market manipulation rules. The Supreme Court's opinion in ONEOK does nothing to change these rules. Instead, it simply provides retail gas customers with an option to litigate market manipulation issues in a state court. Whether that is a meaningful option will turn on the outcome of the underlying litigation.

In Chinese tradition, the peach is said to be the ambrosia which keeps the gods immortal. The heavenly peach trees take six thousand years to ripen. But once they're ripe, they're tasty enough to keep the assembled spirits and powers happy and alive for a couple millennia more. When the peaches are ripe, all of heaven gathers for a huge peach feast. Which seems amazing. If you asked me: Brendan, of all the parties in the world's mythological tradition (I nod) which one would you most like to attend? It would be no contest. Fuck Valhalla. I wouldn't take a second look at the Great Hunting Grounds. Give me that Heavenly Peach Feast, anytime.
So, having devoured my first batch of peaches, I picked up a bag of white and yellow peaches from the local organic food market (on sale! 1.99 a pound!) and set them up on the windowsill and decidedly did not follow the advice of ancient Chinese tradition. I was hungry. They were sitting right there. And so – I couldn't wait, I couldn't control myself, I ate… a premature peach.
Sure, it tasted like a peach. And I didn't vomit. But the flesh was hard and almost crunchy, and it had about as much sweetness as a college student in finals week. It wasn't even juicy. And – how's this for a final humiliation – the peach-fuzz left a weird, dry sensation on the roof of my mouth that wouldn't go away for hours. So here's some advice to all your readers out in blog-land: WAIT for your peaches to ripen. I know they might look tasty, and compelling. But if you feel your peach, and it feels hard, DON'T BOTHER. It won't magically taste good just for you. Patience, patience.
And yet every morning I leave my room, and I see that pile of peaches – and I see whether today will be the day. But not yet. I'll probably eat the whole bunch in a day when they're ready.
Score: 4/10

Safety Ball close to being cleared for game action
TEMPE, Ariz. — Arizona State safety Marcus Ball practiced Tuesday without restrictions for the first time since injuring his shoulder in a preseason scrimmage just over a year ago, and ASU says he is "close to being cleared" for games.
"We think he's ready to go," ASU coach Todd Graham said. "He needs to get in shape, he needs to knock the rust off, and he's got to compete to play. He's not just going to walk out and be starting."
Though Ball will still have to win a starting safety position from fellow redshirt freshman James Johnson once he is cleared, the general feeling is he is ASU's next best safety after Damarious Randall.
Since putting himself in position to start before breaking his collarbone during ASU's Camp Tontozona scrimmage last season, Ball has practiced regularly in a green non-contact jersey, including in the spring as he recovered from offseason surgery on the shoulder. This fall, Ball has practiced in green due to an undisclosed medical issue.
During ASU's practice at Camp Tontozona on Saturday, Ball ran with the first-team defense. He got more first team reps Monday but started with the second team Tuesday. He said he is working at both the free and bandit safety spots.
"I'm just glad to be back out here," Ball said Tuesday. "I haven't hit anybody, haven't really played since August, 2013, so I'm just trying to get the rust off."
Get a look at these
How long will it take to shake the rust of a year away from the action?
"We play in nine days, right?" Ball said. "So it's got to be soon. I can definitely get the rust off before we play."
It didn't seem likely a week or two ago that Ball would be in contention to start ASU's opener against lower-division Weber State on Aug. 28. Now it appears very possible. Graham said Monday that Ball and Johnson are co-leaders for the second safety job.
"Marcus is a great communicator, a guy that's a leader even though he's very young and a guy that has great ball skills and can make big plays," Graham said. "He's a guy that I have a lot of faith and trust in. He just hasn't had a lot of reps, so we need to get him a lot of reps to get him ready."
After missing the first 12 days of fall camp, junior defensive tackle Jaxon Hood rejoined the team last Thursday. On Wednesday, he spoke to the media for the first time. He declined to discuss the reason for his absence but said it was difficult being away from the team for nearly a month.
"It was a personal issue, and I'm just going to leave it at that," Hood said. "I just love my teammates. We're all so close as a unit. I think this is as close as we've ever been as a team. We would really give a leg for each other, so it was hard not seeing everybody every day. I missed my coaches as well."
Hood says he was confident he would return with a place near the top of the depth chart. On his third day back with the team, Hood worked at first-team nose tackle, but he has not secured a starting job.
Hood's experience — he leads all defensive players with 17 career starts and is the only ASU defensive lineman to have started a game — makes him an invaluable asset on a young, inexperienced defensive line. Hood admits he still has some conditioning to do despite losing 11 pounds since returning, but he's confident he can contribute right away.
"When the lights come on, I'll be ready," Hood said. "I came in first day round as a house (but) still quick feet, flat back. That makes it a lot easier. Just being in my third year and having that veteran sense makes it a lot easier."
Hood said 2013 was a humbling season for him as he battled a hamstring injury that cost him his starting job.
More Sun Devils
"I'm hungrier than ever, I'm starving," Hood said. "I'm ready to go."
Graham opened his post practice comments by complimenting the offense on a good day, but he wasn't happy with the defense's effort. Here's what he had to say:
"I thought we showed just a lot of immaturity today, didn't practice very well defensively. We've got one practice today, and then we're taking them to Top Golf. You'd think we could come out and practice with a passion. I tell them honestly, I tell everybody: It's my job to get them to practice. It was just the way it started off — their body language, a little immaturity here and there, and that's where we're showing our inexperience. The standard isn't last year. The standard is different now, and we're going to have to run to the ball better because you're lacking that experience and you've got to make up for it with great pursuit. I got after 'em pretty good about kind of a lackluster attitude.
"This is the first day that we've kind of not met my expectation from an effort standpoint. Too many communication errors and things like that."
— ASU broke out a scout team for the first time Tuesday morning. Among the notables practicing in a scout team jersey were redshirt freshman linebacker Chans Cox, freshman receiver Jalen Harvey and redshirt junior linebacker Eriquel Florence.
— Starting left tackle Jamil Douglas missed his second consecutive practice with an excused absence for family reasons. Evan Goodman worked in his place with the first-team offense.
— Freshman running back Kalen Ballage (back) dressed for practice but remains limited.

I may be alone on this subject but I prefer to watch hockey alone, in my house with just my wife around. Well, sometimes with her around, depends on her mood, know what I mean?
It seems like every time I invite friends over to watch a hockey game, doesn't matter who is playing, or they ask me to go out to the bar, I always find myself missing my couch and TV. No, not because I like to be alone, although alone is a good thing sometimes but because I don't care about anything other than that current game that is on the TV.
I don't care if it's Florida vs Columbus and I'm ready to fall asleep or if it's Philly vs Pittsburgh and I get so hyped up that I want to fight someone, sometimes it turns out to be my cat.
My list goes beyond these 5 reasons but after much thought I consolidated my list to 5 reasons on why I prefer to watch hockey alone.
Reason number five on why I prefer to watch hockey alone. Spilling something on my couch and floor. Go ahead call me a dick, but if you're not my wife or a close family member you're not eating on my couch. Countless times I have gone to a friends house to watch a game and every time I have seen a "friend" spill something on their couch. And the next thing you know, the stain is still there after a week or so.
I understand events occur in sports that cause us to jump out of our seats and I'm sure it would be an accident if you spilled something on my couch or floor. But it's something that will ruin my mood and ruin the game for me, simply because I would have to be the pucker to clean it up AFTER I put down my drink and get up from the game that's taking place.
Oh, and this did happen to me the other night during a hockey game. Luckily I had some alcohol in me and I wasn't ready to tear his face into pieces.
Reason number four on why I prefer to watch hockey alone. Talking about something other than the hockey game. Look, you want to talk before the puck is dropped or during a commercial or even during intermission, go ahead, knock yourself out. But don't talk about how your 2 year old daughter was dancing to "baby got back". And if you're one of those guys, have fun when she's 16. Don't talk about how your dog chased a squirrel around the back yard just for the dog to eventually run out of gas and sleep the night away. Don't leave hints about how you pucked your friends girl after they broke up when he's sitting in the same room.
We are watching a hockey game together, let's talk about the game or something related to hockey. Heck, even a funny men's/beer league event that took place would be fine. I don't know what it is but I constantly run into these so called "hockey fans" and all they want to talk about during the game is something that I don't give a puck about.
Reason number three on why I prefer to watch hockey alone. Crapping on a player or team just to turn around and praise them. I get it, sometimes players and teams do stuff that make you want to pull your hair out. But don't sit there and crap on your favorite team and or player then turn around and all of a sudden love them again when they prove you wrong a couple days later.
It's no secret I am a Flyers fan by heart but I will be the first to tell you that they suck and point out all of their problems. And when they occasionally prove me wrong, I don't drop to my knees and start "loving" them again. Sure, I have a Flyers sticker on my vehicle, sure I get crap from some hockey fans in the area, but they will be the first to love them again and take back everything bad they ever said about them when the team starts winning.
How many friends do you have that hate a team one day then turn around and love them again after talking crap on them? "They suck, screw this team" two days later "I love this team, they are the best".
Oh yes, this goes on when I watch hockey with other hockey fans. Doesn't matter if it's at my house or at the bar. Either way, it's pucking annoying.
Reason number two on why I prefer to watch hockey alone. Being a biased hockey fan. I'm a Flyers fan so I watch a lot of Philly/Pitt games and with that comes a lot of biased opinions. I get it, Crosby dived all over the ice in the playoffs one year while playing in Philly, but come on, has he done that stuff since then?
Do you think I really want to sit here and listen to you talk crap on a team the entire game? Do you think I really want to sit here and have to hear your biased opinions on the game? Because 9 out of 10 times you're wrong, you may not think so, but you are.
Maybe it's because I bet hockey games for a living and I don't want your biased opinions clogging my mind. But whatever it is, and if you're one of these people, you're the number two reason on why I prefer to watch hockey alone.
Reason number one on why I prefer to watch hockey alone. Changing the channel during a commercial break. This is the most irritating thing when it comes to watching hockey. Doesn't matter if it's at home at a friends house or even at a bar. Yes, bartenders here in America have changed a hockey game during an intermission break to put on a basketball game that has no meaning. Unless you like to watch monkeys jump up and down. Then never turn the hockey game back on.
It's night time and I want to watch hockey and I don't want to miss a beat. I don't want you putting on some meaningless basketball game or some reality TV show. Or even the news that's going to make me depressed.
I'm a huge hockey fan and unlike most fans I want to hear what Keith Jones, Jeremey Roenick and Mike Milbury have to say during the intermission. Believe it or not, these guys know what they're talking about and it makes me smarter about the game every time these guys talk. So why wouldn't I want to listen in? And forget about being at the bar, the only thing you're hearing at those places is obnoxious dance music with the random guy telling the random fat girl how pretty she is.
Really, you're that desperate to get laid?
Well there it is, my 5 reasons on why I prefer to watch hockey alone. And as I am writing this I am sitting at home, alone, watching game four between the Ottawa Senators and Pittsburgh Penguins. My wife doesn't count because unlike other females out there, she knows when to stay out of my way when hockey is on. Love ya!

SAS given TWO weeks to find terrorist Jihadi John
THE SAS was last night given just two weeks to find Islamic State's murder monster Jihadi John before he beheads a second Brit.
After executing dad-of-two David Haines, 44, the hooded savage identified another captured UK aid worker, Alan Henning, as his next victim.
Because the previous beheadings were carried out two weeks apart, security experts fear his new target may have only 14 days to live. Hundreds of special forces intelligence operatives in Syria have been ordered to hunt him down before he can kill again.
Government ministers want him captured alive so he can be tried for Mr Haines's murder. He previously beheaded US journalists James Foley, 40, and Steven Sotloff, 31. But if an operation to snatch him is deemed too risky, he will be taken out in a drone air strike.
Last night Mr Henning's family were said to be going through an "incredibly stressful and horrifying time". Mr Henning is a 47-year-old former cab driver from the Manchester area, according to reports.
He was understood to have helped load supplies into ambulances that were to be driven to Syria to help refugees. Catrin Nye, from the BBC Asian Network, said she had met him while he was packing aid trucks in Salford.
She said: "I found out he had been on a previous convoy and was planning to go again."
She said he was known as "Gadget" because of a fondness for technology and described him as a "very likeable" and "funny" man. He said he had been "inspired" by friends who had been to Syria, Ms Nye said.
She told BBC News: "He had travelled on a convoy, he had been into a refugee camp and it had been a life changing experience.
"He handed out the goods. He described holding the children and how that affected him. He told me he had to go back."
As in Jihadi John's previous videos, his latest victim David Haines was shown kneeling in an orange jumpsuit as his executioner loomed over him.
"David has been murdered in the most callous and brutal way imaginable by an organisation which is the embodiment of evil"David Cameron
His voice trembled as he read a statement to the camera which said: "My name is David Cawthorne Haines. I would like to declare that I hold you, David Cameron, entirely responsible for my execution.
"You entered voluntarily into a coalition with the US against the Islamic State, just as your predecessor Tony Blair did."
Jihadi John then rants at the camera before putting his knife to Mr Haines's throat. The final shot shows a still picture of Mr Henning, also wearing a jumpsuit, next to the butcher.
The Prime Minister chaired a meeting of the Government's emergency Cobra committee yesterday and pledged to hunt down the "monsters" who had murdered a "British hero".
Mr Cameron said: "David has been murdered in the most callous and brutal way imaginable by an organisation which is the embodiment of evil. We will hunt down those responsible and bring them to justice, no matter how long it takes."
According to a Syrian activist who knows him, Mr Henning, who comes from Manchester, was captured last Christmas when IS stormed the city of Al- Dana. The aid worker had travelled there with a "British humanitarian convoy" to help Muslim refugees.
The operation to try to rescue him involves British special forces co-operating with Kurdish and Iraqi troops. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry revealed yesterday that nearly 40 countries have now agreed to contribute to defeating IS. Several Arab countries have offered to carry out airstrikes.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said he was preparing to deploy up to 10 military aircraft and 600 troops to the United Arab Emirates.
Germany is also supplying Kurdish forces. A sinister video released last night showed Lebanese troops and police being held prisoner by IS and an al-Qaida-linked group. Two Lebanese hostages have already been beheaded.
