68 Hotdogs in 10 Minutes. Give the guy a Coke (or Pepsi). {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Jul 04, 21:57

I think that's the last thing someone needs, after 68 hotdogs. Btw, don't you loose a day of your life for every hotdog eaten? {nm} elchan Jul 05, 19:50

SC: WOWZER. Steve Nash Signs With The Lakers (Sign & Trade) 3 Years 25 MILL. Knicks & Raptors Crushed. RotoHockeyYTD2012 Jul 04, 19:01

Raptors offered Nash 3 Years 36 MILL. Nash wanted to be close to his kids & go for a Championship. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Jul 04, 22:23

While Nash is good the Lakers overpaid {nm} blaze223 Jul 05, 01:37

Unlike a number of key 2011 Lakers (translation: floaters), Steve Nash plays hard every game. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Jul 05, 05:42

PD: Parise & Suter to Minnesota tealfan Jul 04, 12:27

Thank god they didn't go to pittsburgh {nm} Moviesnob Jul 04, 18:51

PITT did not have the Salary Cap room for both. Great move by MINN. LOOOOOOOOOOOO still available. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Jul 04, 19:09

Parise & Suter pulled a LeBron & Bosh. Planned for months. Same team - closest to family. Identical Contracts. RotoHockeyYTD2012 Jul 04, 22:21

Happy 4th of July, be safe and have fun! If you have a TASM theatre report I would love to read them, I am going on Thursday :) damenchipguy Jul 03, 21:05

OK so we know the three to four teams who will be competeing for the title,so who do you think will get relegated blaze223 Jul 02, 06:51

Sundays are just insane for TV watching. I feel for my DVR. CFL, The Glades, Longmire, True Blood, The Newsroom and The Tour de France. Vashta Nerada Jul 01, 12:42

+1 for Trueblood and +1 for The Newsroom I will catch up after X-Games coverage! damenchipguy Jul 01, 19:27

The Alouettes got ripped a new one by the Stamps. Cavillo really needs to retire now. {nm} elchan Jul 01, 19:57

What I don't like is how many young QBs they go through because of all the short yardage plays they do to keep Cavillo healthy. Vashta Nerada Jul 01, 21:52

Ditto to you! {nm} elchan Jul 01, 13:14

As the 4th gets close, I was wondering; do my HSX friends go to a fireworks show or do you have your own BBQ and fireworks party? damenchipguy Jun 30, 15:42

My family holds a party on our land open to all the people we know (usual size is about 50-75 people) we feed you but BYOB and fireworks. damenchipguy Jun 30, 15:44

Seattle fireworks over the Needle on Lake Union from Gas Works Park {nm} PRodNano Jun 30, 16:27

wife & I always spend the afternoon at Downtown Disney and then watch the fireworks from the top of the Disney parking garage :) tealfan Jun 30, 16:37

I will probably catch Spidey on the 5th, after I go and buy out all the leftovers from Jake's Fireworks. The 4th is my very fav. holiday!!! damenchipguy Jun 30, 17:38

In Quebec, private citizens are not allowed to shoot of fireworks, and our Canada Day is July 1st, {nm} elchan Jun 30, 17:43

You should pay OKLA a visit, we have very little illegal. I bought some crackers that split a cinder block in half :D {nm} damenchipguy Jun 30, 20:21

"Celebrate the birth of your country by blowing up a small part of it!" {nm} BSmurf Jul 01, 09:00

In Canada they do not have firework stands at all? damenchipguy Jun 30, 20:22

Most of Canada allows private fireworks, on holidays. It's only in the province of Quebec where it's band. {nm} elchan Jun 30, 20:32

That is a bummer for the kids in Quebec, do you mind telling me the reason? Did something happen,just dangerous,do some travel to celebrate? damenchipguy Jul 01, 08:08

For safety issues, I think. Although it may be a regional thing, depending on where you live. elchan Jul 01, 09:27

Thanks it was an interesting read. In OKLA we are not allowed in city-limits but on private property we can use fireworks whenever. damenchipguy Jul 01, 15:36

They are for sale 6/15-7/5 but if you travel to ARK right over the state line you can buy what you want year round. Bottle rockets anyone!?! damenchipguy Jul 01, 15:38

As you can see, they can be bought and sold. They just can't be used. ;-) {nm} elchan Jul 02, 22:03

Happy Canada Day! damenchipguy Jul 01, 08:09

Thanks, happy Independence Day, to you. {nm} elchan Jul 01, 10:20

Usa Supreme court Require every american citizen must Health insurance mike255 Jun 29, 15:04

Horrible. It will be done through a tax which means we'll be paying. Why should I have to pay for other people to get health insurance? {nm} MontyBurnz Jun 29, 15:28

you do now; ever been to an ER at a county hospital? {nm} daveart Jun 29, 16:11

No no no...You do not get it. If you choose not to buy insurance, the penalty is higher taxes. If you have, or buy health insurance, in BUY StarBondFund Jun 29, 17:25

Yes, my employer provides insurance. But why should people be forced to pay for something they don't use? MontyBurnz Jun 29, 19:11

needing medical attention is not something you plan for {nm} Moviesnob Jun 29, 19:15

Part of "forcing" everyone to have health insurance (or to pay a tax if they choose to forgo) is a concession to the health industry. Paul2k Jun 29, 19:27

With more people on insurance, good luck getting into see a doctor when you need to. MontyBurnz Jun 29, 20:46

Also, it is going to allow the government to outlaw any food item they want, such as further regulation of sweet items soda, candy, etc. MontyBurnz Jun 29, 22:20

Movie theatres will go out of business when the products they sell in order to stay in business are outlawed because they're not healthy {nm} MontyBurnz Jun 29, 22:24

This will not/ can not happen (and I think you know that). PRodNano Jun 30, 10:06

Supply will always meet demand. If this is the case, it will create more jobs. {nm} PRodNano Jun 30, 09:58

Also, the bill also stipulates that doctors will start getting paid on how effectively they treat their patients, not by how many they see. PRodNano Jun 30, 10:08

There's a wrinkle in that supply/demand logic. You can't just churn out more doctors. It takes years and lots of money to create a doctor. Paul2k Jun 30, 10:48

Good points Paul. However, I was more refering to allowing more students into medical schools. I believe the amount that they let in PRodNano Jun 30, 12:31

This is true. In Canada, we have a hard time getting find a general practitioner. It's easier to go to a clinic. But specialists are elchan Jun 30, 14:32

In your life time, there's a high probability that you *will* use health insurance. Most likely you will need it when you are older elchan Jun 30, 07:53

I'm not disagreeing with the verdict, but the problem is, the court decided it wasnt a tax when it agreed to hear the case Moviesnob Jun 29, 19:17

basically, the court said its not a tax for purposes of the anti-injunction act, but is a tax that congress can levy it. pretty weird {nm} Moviesnob Jun 29, 19:23

I agree with universal health care. This is what separates us from animals. The social pact. elchan Jun 30, 07:57

+1 :) {nm} Jane_Citizen Jun 30, 14:20

For those who don't know what the bill is about and don't want to read all the literature, inside is the logic: PRodNano Jun 30, 10:12

Not sure that's any better than what we have now. Actually, sounds worse. Here's why... MontyBurnz Jun 30, 10:25

Medicaid/Medicare isn't going away with the ACA, so that local aid you got should stay in place. I'm not entirely sure on the workings of Paul2k Jun 30, 10:40

I didn't have MedicAid or Medicare. What I had was called Medical Assistance (MA). I believe it's different than those you mentioned. {nm} MontyBurnz Jun 30, 11:39

It's possible that Medical Assistance is just the local/state name for Medicaid. Medicaid is the federal name, but the funds from it are Paul2k Jun 30, 12:05

Does the new law require employers to offer health insurance to every employee, regardless of whether they're full or part time? {nm} MontyBurnz Jun 30, 12:25

Business with over 50 full-time employees must offer coverage to those employees or pay a fine. Not sure about part time. {nm} PRodNano Jun 30, 12:39

Is there a certain standard employer-offered insurance must meet that is part of the law? {nm} MontyBurnz Jun 30, 13:07

I'm not sure, but I assume it has to be at least as good as the coverage that the government offers. {nm} PRodNano Jun 30, 13:10

I played Russian roulette once and didn't get killed. Thus, banning Russian roulette games for people's safety is not logical? PRodNano Jun 30, 12:46

If it doesn't work for you, you probably make too much money yet don't have a job that offers health insurance, a pretty rare occurence. MontyBurnz Jun 30, 12:55

That's actually quite hilarious, because that doesn't describe any one of our situations :) {nm} PRodNano Jun 30, 13:03

i've worked four jobs in the past seven years that rendered me ineligble for Medicaid but did not offer health care benefits to me {nm} mickpix Jun 30, 13:58
