Chiropractors who perform manual manipulation can cause a lot more issues than they can solve if they aren't well practiced or very careful. Even the ones who don't perform them (there are many who refuse to do manual manipulation), and use purely machine based treatment (VAX-D, etc), can sometimes be a little seedy. My wife works for one (she performs the rehab, post-treatment) and sees traits like that all the time in the industry. The problem though is that a lot of people she sees are in a huge amount of pain, and even temporary to short term relief is better than nothing. We're not talking an aching back, "oh it hurts when I bend over" type pain, we're talking constant agonizing, please kill me, back pain. Most of them will be confined to very potent opiates to deal with the pain for the rest of their life, and it's actually sort of horrible. Some other options are also equally problematic (fusing the discs in your spine, etc), and while that can help, can cause a host of other issues.

The biggest problem with chiropractors are some honestly believe they can cure everything with a proper adjustment, when in reality they can usually at most just help or relieve a problem. I think some doctor claiming that adjusting babies is a good idea is completely bonkers.

Yay!

Kids in the hall are back

Isn't this the proof that god exists? As only a divine being could ever create something that allows the octopus to fit perfectly into it, and protect itself like that!

Oh holiest of tentacle protector, the octopi believe!

Definitely a Canadian pass-time to sit around with a bunch of guys, drinking beers and watching porno with each other.... Yeah... And the creepy beards / shades don't help either.

What really bothers me about this is that people seem to think this is a huge controversy, yet bad calls are made in all sports. Anyone who watches any other sport knows this. I can't believe people are trying to petition to have the game replayed. It seems a bit ridiculous to me, and sets a bad precedent. In fact I can pin point in almost every game this year for my favorite hockey team, where the officials made a bad or wrong call, but it's not like I will petition to have the game replayed. It's naturally part of the game. While it's unfortunate that a bad call was made for a world cup qualifier, people should naturally take bad calls as being part of the experience, for better or worse. How many games have been won/lost due to diving which caused a penalty kick?

The only thing here that needs to be looked at is how the game is regulated by the officials. If they can't properly spot hand balls in that area of the field, either add more officials, or instant replays for goals which disallows goals on obvious rule infractions.

Oh common, everyone knows that nothing will happen to net neutrality. Why? Ok, let's pretend some companies switch over to "not neutral" internet. Guess what happens? One company remains "neutral" and EVERYONE switches to that company making the other ones go bankrupt. Not exactly rocket science, is it?


This is already happening in Canada. The biggest providers (rogers and bell), have both decided to implement traffic shaping and deep packing scanning in order to stop or severely hinder torrent transfers. They were allowed to do this without even disclosing anything, and in fact, rogers went so far as to not tell anyone they were doing this for years. The government has finally made it a requirement that the major service providers disclose their "traffic management practices" a little more clearly so that more of this stuff doesn't happen. While this doesn't do anything except force ISPs to admit they are doing it, at least it's a start, and these practices are being noticed.

Crosby won't do that because he got completely clobbered by the media for pulling a stunt like this in a junior game.

Here's a link to the clip:

Wooooo hooo!! yeeahhh!!! ..... ooooh ... oh ... (silence)

I agree with the above comment and want to reiterate it, yet picture me saying it in tights and holding a bubble pipe.

"Is it your mum?"

Yeah that was a lot better than I expected it was going to be.

My cats do that to paper towel rolls. They are a lot more vicious as it usually starts as kitten flyby-pounce, turning into a full body grasping of the paper towel roll, and finally followed by manic scratching of the roll that results in a big puff of paper towel parts floating in the air.

-2:45 LOL. "Where's my little lion?"

How unexpected
