|Bruins won't be headed for European opener next season
|02.19.09 at 4:04 pm ET
Though it seemed like a natural fit for P.J. Axelsson to enjoy a homecoming in Stockholm or for Zdeno Chara to have a hero's welcome in Trencin, Czechoslovakia, the NHL announced this afternoon that the Red Wing, Blues, Blackhawks and Panthers will be the four teams opening the 2009-10 season in Europe next year. There were previous rumblings that the B's were being considered for "NHL Premiere 2009″, but instead the four teams will play respective games in Sweden and Finland on Oct. 2-3.
|Bruins make Highlight Reel at NHL All-Star Game
|01.25.09 at 10:57 pm ET
MONTREAL — The biggest lingering impression from All-Star Weekend in Montreal?
The Bruins cast just as big a hockey shadow during the Friday-through-Sunday festivities at the Bell Centre as they have while carving up the Eastern Conference during the hockey season's first half. Once again the B's came into the Habs' backyard and took things over more than a little bit — even if Prima Donna Russian forward Alex Kovalev nabbed MVP honors with his shootout winner in the 12-11 victory for the Eastern Conference.
Rookie Blake Wheeler started things off by nabbing MVP honors in the YoungStars Game on Saturday, and Zdeno Chara followed by obliterating the record for the NHL's hardest shot with a 105.4 mph blast that furthered the Bunyan-esque growing legend of Big Z. It was obviously an important moment for Chara as — after the game — he politely declined a Hockey Hall of Fame official's request to procure the stick used to break the record. That particular 65 inch Easton stick is going back home to the Chara trophy case, but the towering D-man instead gladly donated one of his sticks used during actual All-Star Game action.
Tim Thomas was at his flip-flopping and leap-frogging best during the entire exhibition weekend. The B's goaltender distanced himself from the other All-Star masked men by challenging every single shot at every opportunity. Thomas pretty much morphed into a little boy in his own driveway turning away bid after bid from the older neighborhood kids. After allowing some goals early in the third period, he zoned into true shutdown mode over the final four minutes of the third period, overtime and then in the shootout against Shane Doan and Rick Nash.
Here's youtube to help out with an OT and shootout that were pretty entertaining…Thomas save on Iginla comes at the 3:38 mark of overtime.
The victory makes Thomas the winning goaltender in each of the last two All-Star Games, the fifth time in NHL All-Star Game history that a goalie has captured the W in two consecutive games. The others are Frank Brimsek (1947, 48), Jacques Plante (1958, 59), Johnny Bower (1961, 62) and Martin Brodeur (1997, 98). Thomas made a trademark sliding save against Jarome Iginla on the doorstep during overtime — one of his three saves in OT — that saved the game for the Eastern Conference and helped push them through the victorious shootout.
Not bad for a guy that didn't even appear on the All-Star ballot this season.
Marc Savard picked up three assists during the game centering a high-wattage line that featured Dany Heatley on his right wing and Alex Ovechkin along his left, and the B's playmaker was also the final runner-up in Saturday's newly adopted elimination shootout event.
Bruins coach Claude Julien exited the weekend exuding his trademark class after opting for the high road at each and every turn while truly embracing the All-Star opportunity — a choice that others might not have taken while visiting the site of a former coaching job that ended with a pink slip. A firing of Julien back in 2006 made way for current Habs coach and Eastern Conference All-Star assistant coach Guy Carbonneau.
Instead Julien sat back and watched his players excel during the NHL's showcase of their best and brightest, and then rolled out the pucks in last night's game until things tightened up in the third period.
"I think this has been an outstanding weekend," said Julien. "You can talk to any player, talk to any coaches. The way it's been organized by this organization. The way the people that came to Montreal — and the Montreal fans — the way they've reacted to all of this has just made this whole weekend outstanding.
"Our players really enjoyed it," added Julien. "They had a great weekend. They represented us extremely well."
That being said, here's a taste of what the Bruins' participants will be taking away from All-Star weekend:
Tim Thomas: "The feeling of victory after we won shootout. Even though it's an All-Star game and it's supposed to be about fun — and it's not supposed to be about being competitive. But every single person in here is a competitor. It doesn't mean anything in the long run, but it's just like if you're out in the driveway and you scored a goal. That feeling you get, you know. It felt the same to me as any other shootout.
Zdeno Chara: "The skills competition. It was very special to me. It's something that I'll never forget and it's something that can only happen to you a few times in your lifetime and in your career. I've always said before that records are made to be broken, and I'm just glad that I could get this one over with. It took 16 or 17 years to break this record, so we'll see how long it takes to break this one."
Claude Julien: "You come here to have fun, but you also have a lot of pride and you want to represent your organization well. All of our guys were outstanding. Tim stood tall in the shootout, and even that save with the stretched out pad. Z winning the competition with his shot. Savvy making it to the last two in the shootout. An MVP for Wheeler. Every single one of our players stood out at one point, and that's great for the organization. Those certainly made the organization proud."
Blake Wheeler: "I came away from the weekend just really impressed with watching all of these players up close, and just seeing how they go about their day-to-day business. For me it was a behind-the-scenes look at everything, and I just came away so impressed with everybody here. It was a fun weekend, for sure."
|Chara puts Right To Play in the spotlight
|at 2:37 pm ET
MONTREAL — Zdeno Chara defended his title as owner of the NHL's hardest slapshot when he fired off a 105.4 mph blast in his final attempt during Saturday night's All-Star SuperSkills competition at the Bell Centre. The feat of hockey strength marked the third straight year that the 6-foot-9 defenseman snagged the hardest shot hardware, but there was a bit more of a humanistic spin to this season's victory.
With a bright yellow "Right to Play" toque sitting atop his giant Slovakian cranium following the performance, Chara reared back and fired an NHL-record 105.4 mph slat shot that won the competition and banked $24,000 for his favorite Right to Play charity. Chara's booming shot broke former B's defenseman Al Iafrate's record of 105.2 mph set back in the 1993 skills competition, and the money raised for charity put a well-intentioned, altruistic spin on the proceedings.
Right To Play is a Canadian charity that, according to its web site, is "creating a healthier and safer world for children through the power of sport and play." Both B's defenseman Andrew Ference and Chara have traveled to Africa to witness the work done by Right To Play with African children first-hand, and have continued serving as ambassadors to the program.
The gesture even quieted the Montreal crowd, who normally save their lustiest boos for the intense and physical Chara during heated Habs/Bruins games.
"I gave it all that I had, and I'm glad it worked out," said Chara. "That's the highest I've ever shot (a puck). I've been a few times around 103, 104, 102 (mph). You know, you always want to shoot the hardest shot, but it's the All-Star record, so I'm very happy."
Chara and Right To Play Deputy Director Mark Brender were locked in a joyful embrace following the Bruins defenseman's rousing victory for both himself and charity, and shared a few thoughts about Chara's relationship with Right To Play — and his own mad scramble to find a gold-ish Right to Play hat that Chara could wear on television while breaking land speed records with his shot.
That was a pretty dramatic win for Chara. MB:Yeah, I know he was really pumped to do it and he was really excited and happy about doing it. So, you could tell how happy he was and he is really committed. Obviously for us to have a champion like him — and like Andrew Ference who helped Z get into it — and all of the other NHL guys is huge. It's the kind of money and exposure that will go directly to help children develop through playing sports.
What does it mean for the program to have a guy like Z climbing up Mt. Kilimanjaro and visiting Africa this summer, and all of the other things that he does for the program? MB: It gives us so much credibility. A lot of times when pro athletes lend their name to a cause, it's really just in-and-out. But when a guy like (Chara) gets involved he is so committed that he gives us credibility when we say that we have athlete ambassadors. We have many, many Olympic athlete ambassadors and it was born under the Olympic movement.
So it's a great thing to have pros like Z and many other NHLers as well because there's a lot of credibility to them. (Raising money in the skills competition) shows it's more than just lending their name. It's believing in it, and that's something that really shows.
How gung ho is Z about Right to Play? It seems as if he mentions it a lot in his day-to-day world of hockey. MB: Yeah. He went to Mozambique this summer with us and he got to see the impact of our work. When you go a town a couple of hours north of the capital city and then you see 16-year-olc coaches, who are leading 400 children and through that you can do all kinds of developmental things, and talk about education and HIV and things like that.
So he has seen that work, and when you see that work then you come back and see the emotions that you have. That's why (he's still involved).
Word trickled out that he had made the challenge. When did you find out about it? MB:The Bruins were in Toronto on Wednesday and he and Andrew went out to dinner the night before and conceived of this thing then. It was in the works for a little bit that they had been planning something. Andrew and Zdeno are very good together.
You must have been pretty happy to see the Right to Play hat out there? MB: He actually asked for the hat when we were in Toronto, so we had to go digging to find one. He said "make it Bruins colors, make it Bruins colors." So went went digging and found a yellow one that was actually from the 2006 Olympics. I'm really happy it worked out.
|Zdeno Chara shooting slappers for a good cause
|01.24.09 at 10:27 am ET
MONTREAL, Quebec — Two-time reigning Hardest Shot champion Zdeno Chara will be giving this afternoon's NHL Hardest Shot competition a little bit of a philanthropic bent when he rears back and fires his trademark heavy slapshot. Big Z issued a charitable challenge to the five other competitors in this year's Hardest Shot contest, and each of the five competitors accepted.
Each contestant will wager $1,000 of their own money and the winner of the contest will then donate the funds to the charity of their choice. Additionally, each of the player's respective teams agreed to contribute an additional $1,000 apiece and the NHL contributed $6,000, bringing the total ante for a cause up to to $18,000.
"It is great to see the individual players, their teams and the league come together to benefit worthy causes and add a little extra competition to the all-star contests," said Chara. "Hopefully this is
the start of a tradition that will continue in future all-star games. With everyone working together to help out charities and increasing the stakes of the competitions, it's a win-win situation for all involved."
The other five competitors in the contest are up-and-coming Nashville Predators defenseman Shea Webber, Canadiens tough guy and Milan Lucic punching bag Mike Komisarek, New York Islanders power play specialist Mark Streit, Tampa Bay Lightning center Vinny Lecavalier and Oilers D-man Sheldon Souray, who is thought to be Chara's biggest competition in the event.
Chara will be shooting for the Right To Play organization. Right To Play is an international humanitarian organization that uses sport and play programs to improve health, develop life skills, and foster peace for
children and communities in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the world.
Chara recorded triple-digit blasts of 100.4 MPH in 2007 and 103.1 MPH in 2008 to win the Hardest Shot titles the last two years.
|Sounds of the game… Bruins 3, Canadiens 1
|01.14.09 at 10:57 am ET
The Bruins appear to have re-discovered their mojo and they can thank their captain, Zdeno Chara, in large part for it. After dropping two straight to Buffalo and Minnesota, the Bruins stood 1-2 on their season-long six-game homestand. But then they rebounded to win an uneven 6-4 decision against Ottawa. They put together a dominant effort in a 5-1 win over Carolina and capped it off with a 3-1 win in a playoff-like atmosphere Tuesday night at the Garden against the Canadiens.
With Marco Sturm likely gone for the season with ACL surgery to his left knee and leading goal scorer Phil Kessel out for at least three weeks with mono, someone had to step up. Chara not only scored his team's first two goals, he was a physical force on the ice, playing over 32 minutes and covering Montreal's best player, Alex Kovalev. Our own Joe Haggerty looks further into how Chara is earning his 'C'.
Add to the mix a boarding major called on Andrei Kostitsyn when he hit Aaron Ward and Tim Thomas coming out of the net to take out Kostitsyn, and you have all the makings of a regular season match-up between two ancient rivals that had everyone looking ahead toward the spring.
Bruins head coach Claude Julien said Chara showed why he's a captain.

|Chara proves why he wears the 'C' for the B's
|01.13.09 at 11:22 pm ET
Dennis Wideman got a nice and well-deserved plug for a potential Norris Trophy candidacy on SI.com and has essentially become the No. 1 puck-moving defenseman that many felt the Bruins were lacking headed into this hockey season, but Captain Zdeno Chara simply removed any doubt who the premier backline guy was in Black and Gold last night.
Chara scored a pair of power play goals, played a game-high 31:48 with Aaron Ward out of the lineup after the middle of the second period and fired off a team-high five shots at the Canadiens' net — in addition to his game-in, game-out crunching physical presence and typical shutdown defense — in a convincing, entertaining, rousing 3-1 win over the Canadiens at the TD Banknorth Garden last night.
It might have been one of Chara's games ever while donning the Spoked B sweater.
"I think, first of all, there's no doubt to me, he set the tone tonight," said Bruins coach Claude Julien. "Physically, the amount of ice he had, he handled it well and he was strong in all situations: obviously scoring a couple of goals, defending, winning battles, everything, every part of it, the physical part of it. He was outstanding tonight.
"I cannot say enough about his performance."
Big Z saved at least one Canadiens goal when he deftly swept a loose puck away from the mouth of the goal during the closing moments of the second period and he was literally shoving Habs skaters to the frozen sheet and shoving ice chips in their face throughout the game. There probably won't be a finer example of a game this season of the 6-foot-9 blueliners full set of far-reaching pucks skills, and it certainly won't be wrapped so neatly into a 60-minute package against a quality team hell-bent on winning.
Add to that the emotional intensity that the oft-times stoic defenseman displayed after lighting the lamp twice in the second period, and you've got a Five Star performance.
"It was a really heartfelt game, but a very exciting game to play," said Chara. "Right from the get-go we tried to set a tone, we tried to play hard and really physical and it paid off. Eventually we got the power play chances and finally we capitalized so it was a good team effort."
The Biggest Man in the NHL was a dominant force and played like the best defenseman in the NHL from the moment the puck was dropped. Perhaps this is the Year of the Norris for Chara.
Standing up between the pipes
We've seen Tim Thomas take to the offensive before as he memorably did against the Buffalo Sabres last season, but the B's netminder raised it to a new level when he decked Andrei Kostitsyn following a brutal hit from behind on Aaron Ward last night. The questionable hit in the corner drew a five minute major penalty and Claude Julien's ire as well. Kostitsyn seemed to be eyeing Chara as the big blueliner lumbered in to stand up for his D-man partner, but the feisty Thomas leveled Kostitsyn with a cross-check before Big Chara could even get there.
The hit brought the capacity crowd of 17,565 to their feet during the second period and continued to reinforce what many have said about the Bruins all along: their willingness to fight for each other and back other is a formidable hockey force forged in invulnerable steel, and it isn't likely to be broken no matter how many key injuries hit the roster.
"I heard the hit and I saw, I looked over, I saw Wardo (Aaron Ward) down and all I, the first thing that went to my mind was (Patrice) Bergeron and Andrew Alberts last year," said Thomas of the moments leading up to decking Kostitsyn. "Having seen the replay now, it was nowhere near as bad of a hit, but I didn't know that at the time. You just react, you see kind of man down, it's instinct."
The team seems to clearly be saying: Pull something questionable as the Kostitsyn Brothers are wont to do during a hockey game, and face the consequences from any number of angry Bears. Just ask the Steve's in Dallas what happens when the Bruin in the cage gets poked.
The Thomas hit was the culmination of a huge night for the B's netminder, however, and he looked very reminiscent of the same masked man that stoned the Canadiens during long portions of last season's seven game Stanley Cup playoff series. TT needed to make 17 clean saves in the first period just to allow the Bruins to escape with a scoreless tie in a period that the Habs clearly dominated.
He was at his best, however, in the third while nursing a one-goal lead and fighting against a Habs team that was desperately trying to push the game to overtime and gain themselves a divisional point. Instead Thomas stoned Tom Kostopoulos on a bid all alone from the slot right in front of the cage, and then made a diving glove stop on Andrei Kostitsyn with five minutes to go and the wild puck zipping back and forth in front of the net.
Montreal coach Guy Carbonneau referenced those saves after the game, and gave a great helping of credit to one of the NHL Eastern Conference All-Stars in a very worthy performance.
"He has always been a guy who battles hard. It is funny because he is supposed to be a backup goalie for two years and the last two years he has been the best in average in the league," said Carbonneau. "You have to give them credit. They are playing well. When they have those chances they don't miss. That is what happened at the end of the third period. When they had the chance they didn't miss. I am not disappointed in the effort that we gave; it is just that sometimes it goes like that."
Last night was the perfect marriage of Thomas' veteran leadership between the goalposts during a time when somebody clearly needed to step and his athletic All-Star caliber goaltending in the third period both helped nail down the big Eastern Conference win between the two bitter rivals.
Missing Looch
Julien opted not to play a healing-but-not-100-percent-healthy Milan Lucic just prior to game time and there was a clear cause-and-effect on the game and the Canadiens' aggressive style of play. The normally flamboyant and high-flying Habs played a gritty, tight Bruins-style game and Mike Komisarek upped his physical play noticeably without Lucic there to police the hard-nosed Montreal D-man. Komisarek registered a game-high 11 hits and several times scrapped with Bruins players in his first game against the Black since getting pounded by Lucic in a fight at center ice — and then subsequently hurting his shoulder — in the Garden several months back.
"I think it meant just as much to both teams. It's a heated rivalry. It has been since I've been here," said Shawn Thornton of the heightened intensity on the ice during the game. "I don't think it's going away any time so I think both sides were looking to make a statement out there and it will be like that every other time we play.
"I think we play them two more times and who knows what's going to happen at the end of the year so I don't think that's ever going to change."
Ward out, Lashoff back up
Boston Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli announced after the game that the club has recalled defenseman Matt Lashoff from the Providence Bruins on an emergency basis and assigned goaltender Tuukka Rask to the Providence Bruins. Lashoff will join the Boston Bruins for practice on Wednesday and accompany the team on their two-game road trip to Long Island and Washington.
Lashoff will be needed to replace Aaron Ward, who want down after re-aggravating his charley horse and then getting plastered into the boards from behind by Kostitsyn.
|Sounds of the game… Bruins 5, Hurricanes 1
|01.10.09 at 5:15 pm ET
The Bruins have followed up two straight losses with two straight wins, dominating the Carolina Hurricanes, 5-1, at TD Banknorth Garden on Saturday. Michael Ryder scored twice as the Bruins improved to 3-2 on their season-long six-game homestand, which concludes on Tuesday night against Montreal. Some other notes… Byron Bitz played his first NHL game, becoming the third Bruin to play his first NHL game this season,
joining Blake Wheeler (Oct. 9 at Colorado) and Martins Karsums (Dec. 13 vs. Atlanta). Bitz recorded his first NHL point with an assist on Boston's third goal tonight, becoming the second Bruin this season to record a point in his first NHL game (Wheeler, goal on Oct. 9 at Colorado). Martins Karsums recorded his first NHL point with an assist on Boston's second goal today '¦ It came in his second career NHL game. Zdeno Chara recorded an assist on Boston's third goal '¦ It is the 200th assist of his NHL career. Carolina's Sergei Samsonov played his 700th NHL game today '¦ It came against the team that drafted him (second pick, eighth overall, in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft) with a pick that the Bruins received from Hartford in the Glen Wesley trade. Without further delay, here's what they had to say.
Bruins coach Claude Julien said the Bruins made sure to match Carolina's intensity.
Marc Savard said that was a quality 60-minute performance.
Zdeno Chara said that game was one of Boston's better performances of the season.
Chara said the Bruins won the battle for loose pucks.

Nokia offers $369 mln deposit to unfreeze Indian assets
HELSINKI (Reuters) - Nokia (NOK1V.HE) has offered to pay a 270 million euro deposit to Indian authorities to unfreeze assets in a tax dispute, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The Finnish firm has been trying to free up the assets, particularly its Chennai factory which is one of its biggest phone-making plants, ahead of the sale of its mobile phone business to Microsoft (MSFT.O).
The offer comes on top of an earlier agreement to pay around 85 million euros, although Nokia hopes to eventually retrieve the payments if the tax dispute is resolved in its favour, one of the sources said on Monday.
The combined payment would exceed the income tax bill of 20.8 billion rupees demanded by local authorities in one of several tax disagreements involving foreign companies in India.
While Nokia has said it does not expect the dispute to affect its 5.4 billion euros deal with Microsoft, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014, a lengthy asset freeze could complicate matters by preventing the transfer of ownership in the Chennai plant.
An asset freeze would allow the facility to operate as usual but prevent a change of ownership. If it is still in place when the Microsoft deal is finalised, Nokia could briefly operate the plant as a contract manufacturer for Microsoft, but both companies are hoping to avoid this.
Nokia declined to comment beyond saying it was committed to getting its Indian assets unfrozen and "once again calls on the Indian government and tax authority to work with urgency towards a solution".
The Delhi High Court is due to hear the case on Tuesday.

Where Was the Media's Love for 'Transparency' the Last Four Years?
President Obama took yet another vacation last week and while Marie Antoinette Michelle took the kids on a fabulous ski trip in Aspen- her 16th vacation since moving into the White House, Barack went golfing with Tiger Woods in Florida.
But the lavish leisurely pursuits of Barack, the "Man of the People," are nothing new. The real story here is the press' response to being left out.
The president kept the press at bay and they went crazy. "Legitimate" news organizations snuck around the links like paparazzi looking to grab a picture of Lindsay Lohan on a bender. And when Obama returned to work, the press was not amused and called for "transparency."
"The decades-old conflict between the press's right to know and the White House's desire for effective messaging reached a flash point over the weekend with the White House Press Corps being excluded from President Obama's golf outing with Tiger Woods.
'This isn't about the president's golf score or having a beer on the 19th hole,' said Rick Blum, director of the Sunshine in Government Initiative, a group promoting policies for government accessibility and accountability. 'This really gets to the president being responsive to the public. Sure the president deserves a vacation, but as president you cannot just disappear for four days.'
For some in the press corps, the question of Obama's accessibility is especially pointed. Longtime White House correspondent Anne Compton of ABC News told Politico recently: 'The way the president's availability to the press has shrunk in the last two years is a disgrace. … This White House goes to extreme lengths to keep the press away.'"
Yes! I agree; it is a disgrace. But where was the outrage when the president began shutting the press (and by extension, the American people) out years ago?
I agree that the president has an obligation to be forthcoming with the press, but truth be told, I am much more concerned with the stonewalling by this administration with regards to the four dead Americans in Benghazi that they have all but chocked up to "Meh. These things happen."
I am much more concerned with the Justice Department pushing guns into Mexico and blaming gun dealers for violence on the border. I am much more concerned with the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. I am definitely more concerned with the thin premise of executive privilege extended to keep Eric Holder out of handcuffs.
This administration has so much to answer for and yet when we hear the gripes from the press is when they were cut out of the golf weekend?
I agree, in principle, with the media's outrage. But if they're going to demand transparency, they should demand transparency first-and-foremost on the issues that truly matter.

I ordered this exact umbrella from XXXXXX and it a piece of (----). The 'wine bottle' is smaller than a regular bottle of wine, which means they have to design the umbrella to cram into a small space. Then you can't get the umbrella back into the bottle. It is such poor quality that the 'top of the wine bottle' that is the end of the umbrella handle fell off as soon as I opened the umbrella (as soon as I took it out of the box). The bottom of the 'wine bottle' fell off when I tried to put the umbrella back in the bottle. I WOULD NOT WANT THIS IF IT WERE FREE! Don't waste your $$.
Big Deal Umbrella looks like a Wine Bottle. Cheap plastic handle, easily breakable. Doesn't open automatically. Looks like any wind will tear it into pieces. Do not Recommend. Its tricky ordering Umbrella online.
Its cute. It is plastic. I don't plan on opening it, just using for a conversation peice.

When we put together the Destructoid Christmas Album last year, we never could have predicted how it would turn out. We created it because we thought it would be an amazingly fun thing to do -- the Destructoid editors singing Christmas songs! -- but we had no idea the thing would end up being filled with all kinds of awesome holiday spirit. I mean, there was just so much goddamn holiday spirit, I think we even brought a snowman to life after recording it.
With so much of that holiday spirit left over from last year, we thought we would do it again!
So, just in time for the holidays, we present to you The Second Annual Destructoid Christmas Album.
This one is bigger, badder, and merrier than ever before!

Product description
This is the second title in this number one, bestselling spin-off series from "Percy Jackson" creator, Rick Riordan. This crazy messed up world of gods and monsters is "Percy Jackson's" reality, which pretty much sucks for him. Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, God of the Sea, has woken from a very deep sleep and come face to face with two snake-haired ladies who refuse to die. But they're the least of his problems. Because Percy finds himself at a camp for half-bloods, which doesn't ring any bells for him. There's just one name he remembers from his past. Annabeth. Only one thing is certain - Percy's questing days aren't over. He and fellow demigods Frank and Hazel must face the most important quest of all: the Prophecy of Seven. If they fail, it's not just their camp at risk. Percy's old life, the gods, and the entire world might be destroyed...

Warranty is for part replacement only and DOES NOT include labor.

Replacement shocks/struts can be purchased separately from American Air Suspension later on if the need arises.

Ford Expedition Air Suspension Conversion Kit RWD
Hot Weather: ALL air compressors produce moisture, no matter the size. Bigger air compressors like whats in an auto repair shop or in most shade-tree mechanics garages, fuel air tools, blow sawdust and air up tires. Although the bigger compressors produce more moisture than a smaller one, the bigger compressor with a tank also has a way to easily drain the moisture from the system. Most people don't realize that an automotive air suspension system is just like an air compressor in their garage with one big difference between them. Because of all the low lying air lines and other parts(air springs - air struts) in the vehicle, there is no way to easily drain moisture out of the system. A
1997,1998,1999,2000,2001,2002 Ford Expedition Air Suspension Conversion Kit RWD
? With Premium Coil Springs & Brand Name Premium Struts, there is no difference in ride quality no matter how hot it gets! You've heard automobile air suspension systems have a dryer that absorbs the moisture? That is true, but keep in mind 2 things. #1) Having a dryer right off the air source is at best only 95% effective. The reason for this is because a rule of thumb when working with pneumatics, is to have the dryer or collector a good 6 feet from the source. This is to allow the hot moisture filled air, time to cool a bit where the dryer can grab it. Not allowing it to cool down a tad makes the whole drying system not as effective, because the moist hot air will blow right past the dryer. Short term(when the vehicle is new), you'll never have this problem, because the new dryer has collected most of the moisture and not enough moisture has collected in the system to cause problems. #2) The dealer won't tell you this, but because they want you to keep buying air suspension parts and to come line their pockets later on when your out of warranty, but most dryers used on these automobile systems only have a lifespan of 4-5 years. After this time has passed, the dryer pretty much turns into a collection point. In other words, instead of the moisture gel beads inside the dryer collecting the incoming moisture, the moisture is now just collecting in the dryer.....just sitting there. The moisture then plays a see-saw game of going back & forth from inside the lines & air springs - struts & back to the compressor. It makes its way back to the compressor, because most systems are designed to dry themselves by blowing air thats already in the system, back through the dryer & compressor. Whats bad about that? What happened to all that moisture that was built up and sitting in the dryer? That's right, its now being forced....by high air pressure....through the compressor! These air suspension compressors generally have an estimated 40% duty cycle, which is considered light duty in most cases. They are designed from the factory to run bone dry and will be permanently damaged from ANY moisture. What makes these facts even worse? If an air compressor produces moisture normally anyway, what does it do when it has to run 2-10 times more because of a leak in the air springs? Answer: Its going to make 2-10 times more moisture than it would normally! In other words, even if you spend $400-$900(not including labor) for another compressor, the moisture that has collected in the rest of the system all those years, that's still in there, will quickly attack & overwhelm the new dryer and then damage the replacement compressor! How long the replacement lasts greatly depends on 2 things: 1: How much it has to run = If the leak(s) in the system was repaired. If the leak(s) were repaired, you may have a chance. If not, the 40% duty cycle compressor that's made to run 2-10 times more than it was designed, will continue to run constantly until the small plastic parts(all of them have 'em) inside them start to melt. Running constantly is also hard on bearings and even armatures, due to the increased amperage draw from swollen(from moisture) parts(rings) inside. 2: How much moisture was in the system. Over the years, we've experienced new $500+ factory air suspension compressors damaged to the point of not working at all, in less than 1 months use....due to excessive moisture in the system alone! A

? With Premium Coil Springs & Brand Name Premium Struts, there is no difference in ride quality no matter how much moisture is in the air! Cold Weather: One reason air suspension problems seem to show their ugly heads when it gets cold on air suspension equipped vehicles, is because the rolling lobe type air springs used on these vehicles get harder and less pliable the colder it gets. These air springs are only 2mm thick and can't seal themselves as effectively when the rubber is hard(cold). ANY business selling air suspension parts would make way more money if you stayed with the air, as you will continually buy parts for it. While the air suspension system doesn't produce much moisture in colder weather, the collected moisture in the system does hurt system performance. When the moisture that is in in the dryer drops below freezing, the dryer can easily become a solid block of ice, not allowing ANY air to travel in any direction! This means no load leveling when weight is added, but also not venting the air after the weight is removed! Say you were lucky enough to have the compressor squeeze enough air pressure past the solid block of ice in your 10+ year old dryer. You take your car and drop someone off. NOW, the system can't relieve all the extra air in the system and you drive around looking like a 4x4. A

? With Premium Coil Springs & Brand Name Premium Struts, there is no difference in ride quality no matter how cold it gets! Recommendation? With all this being said, our recommendation would be to remedy those air suspension problems forever with a
RWD Air Suspension Conversion Kit for a 1997,1998,1999,2000,2001,2002
. Its a simple, straight forward repair and is the ONLY way that you'll be able to rely on this vehicle!

Low-Level Radioactive Waste:
Future Waste Volumes and Disposal Options Are Uncertain
GAO-04-1097T: Published: Sep 30, 2004. Publicly Released: Sep 30, 2004.
Additional Materials:

- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6246
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) management concerns persist despite the LLRW Policy Act of 1980, as amended, which made states responsible for providing for disposal of class A, B, and C LLRW and made the Department of Energy (DOE) responsible for the disposal of greater-than-class C LLRW. This testimony is based on GAO's June 2004 report, which examined the adequacy of disposal availability for class A, B, and C wastes, and GAO's April 2003 report, which assessed recovery efforts involving greater-than-class-C waste. This testimony examines (1) changes in LLRW disposal availability since 1999, (2) recent LLRW disposal volumes and potential future volumes, (3) any current or anticipated shortfalls in disposal availability, (4) the potential effects of any such shortfalls, (5) the effectiveness of the Act in developing regional disposal options for class A, B, and C wastes, and (6) the status of DOE's effort to dispose of greater-than-class-C waste.
GAO's June 2004 report identified several changes since 1999 that have affected, or might affect, LLRW disposal availability and federal oversight. Specifically, one disposal facility plans to close its doors to most states, but new options are evolving that might offset this shortfall. According to data from the three commercial disposal facility operators, annual LLRW disposal volumes have increased in recent years. In conducting this assessment, GAO relied on data from the operators because DOE's national LLRW database was unreliable. The timing and volume of future waste needing disposal are uncertain because of the difficulty in forecasting disposal shipments from DOE and nuclear utilities. At current LLRW disposal volumes, disposal availability for class A waste is not a problem in the short or longer term. Disposal availability appears adequate until mid-2008 for class B and C wastes when, if disposal conditions do not change, most states will not have a place to dispose of these wastes. Nevertheless, users of radioactive materials can continue to minimize waste generation, process waste into safer forms, and store waste if there are no disposal options for class B and C wastes after 2008. While these approaches are costly, GAO did not identify other immediate widespread effects. The Act has not resulted in the development of additional regional disposal capacity for class A, B, and C wastes. Factors limiting further development include less waste, adequate disposal capacity, rising development costs, and public and political resistance in states designated to host these facilities. DOE has not yet provided a facility for the permanent disposal of greater-than-class-C waste, but it is collecting this material to address security concerns in the interim.

When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

The game of football could change the way we know how the game is played, that is if the National Football League Commissioner has anything to say about it!
Dave Christensen is out as Wyoming's football coach after five seasons and only two bowl appearances.
Brett Smith accounted for 640 yards of total offense, 8 touchdowns and set numerous records, but it was a Stuart Williams 36-yard field goal in overtime that gave the Wyoming Cowboys a 59-56 victory over the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors Saturday at War Memorial Stadium. The two teams combined for 1417 total yards and 115 points in an offensive shootout.
The 16th-ranked Fresno State Bulldogs stayed perfect on the season, as they rolled over the Wyoming Cowboys 48-10 Saturday night at War Memorial Stadium. Derek Carr threw for 360 yards and four touchdowns, as Fresno State kept their dreams of busting the BCS alive.
While The NFL deals with thugs & bullying, this Michigan school is a shining example of something a lot of teams seem to have forgotten, sportsmanship. But it goes beyond that and into something wonderful, being human.
University of Wyoming coach Dave Christensen has fired defensive coordinator Chris Tormey.
University of Wyoming head football coach Dave Christensen announced early Tuesday that defensive coordinator Chris Tormey has been relieved of his duties on the Cowboy coaching staff effective immediately. Current defensive line coach Jamar Cain has been named the interim defensive coordinator.
David Fales threw for 482 yards and five touchdowns and ran for the game-winning touchdown with 8 seconds left, as the San Jose State Spartans defeated the Wyoming Cowboys 51-44 in California Saturday night. SJSU out-scored UW 37-to-21 in the second half.
According to The Bleacher Report, the reason for The Bronco's loss to The Colts is because they have only been playing mid to weak teams. They go on to say that 9 weeks from now, the loss could be seen as
the only blemish on an otherwise storybook season

I have one too. It is the Illinois Police version with a few of the Stock/Original Red parts.
I Do Not remember a fire department issue of the kit.
I would have had a few if they Had done that!!
They Did offer the 97 Crown Vic with orange County Fire Authority decals.
That is the first re-issue of it. It came withthe same MX lightbar as the Caravan and
since then, ALL issues of the C-V have the MX instead of the better
Vision/Vector/"V" lightbar
I have the original issue and ISP issue of the Caravan, but could have sworn there was a third version. I do remember the CV with the OC Fire decals - maybe I got them confused. I'm not much into the emergency equipment; I usually just build them as normal vehicles. Thanks for the info!

Maybach Music Group Meek Mill is letting fans know he really lives the luxurious life by proclaiming just how real his new Drake-assisted "Amen" music video is.
Meek took to Twitter and dished out just how authentic the visual is.
"Did u see #amen video yet??," he tweeted July 15th.
"#amen video is 100% real footage! Really my whips,really club liv,really my friends,really on a jet,really drake show! #mmg?" (Meek Mill's Twitter)
The eye-catching music video premiered online over the weekend.
Meek Mill and Drake party it up on the Club Paradise Tour like only two of the most in-demand rappers can in the visuals for their collaboration. This, of course, means that along with the shots of the duo on stage doing their thing, the video is packed from beginning to end with model chicks, bottles of liquor, and luxury cars. Oh, and famous friends, like Waka Flocka Flame, French Montana, Fat Joe, and J. Cole. Sounds heavenly, right? "Amen" is taken from Meek Mill's mixtape, DreamChasers 2. His debut album, Dreams & Nightmares, is out on August 28. (Neon Limelight)
A few days ago, he got into a heated debate with fellow Philadelphian Pastor Jomo K. Johnson over the song's content.
Right as the on air conversation between the two began, Meek voiced his concerns. "This looking like you trying to get famous, or you need some attention, because you could have came to me and said anything you wanted to say," he said. "I mighta helped you. If you needed money for your church, I mighta woulda gave you that money. I mighta even remixed the song with Kirk Franklin. Anything you wanted to do. You went about it like you looking for attention and fame." Johnson retorted, "My plea to you is to turn from sin, turn from blasphemy, turn from unrighteousness, that you're purporting in your music–turn to Jesus Christ and receive eternal life. It doesn't matter how much money you get, without Jesus Christ you will be lost eternally." The Pastor said he had once served four years in jail, for aggravated assault on an officer, and God changed his life. (XXL Mag)
Last month, Johnson hit up SOHH to detail his "Amen" conflicts.
"I have respect for Meek Mill as an artist and fellow Philadelphia native. The church that I started, is right down the street from where he grew up. But he lost his hood pass by making this song. North Philadelphia is a highly religious community, Christian and Muslim. And for him to make a song like this is disrespect to every believer in Christ," Jomo told SOHH in a statement. "As stated, Meek would never have the nuts to make a song disrespecting Mohammed or the Mosque because he knows Muslims would never let him return to Philadelphia. So he chose to mock the Christian church. But I want him to know, that if he comes back to Philly to perform this Summer at Fairmount Park, POAC, (Philly Open Air Church) will be there to meet him and hold him accountable. Christ is a forgiving Lord, but he will not be mocked. And neither will his Church. [sic]" (SOHH)
