Preppers Still Active, And In The News
I happened to stumble on an interesting TV news segment this afternoon on preppers in Oregon. Wesleigh Ogle for CBS affiliate KCBY-TV in North Bend, Oregon, had this to report on December 27:
KCBY-TV Video
I'm really glad that Avery found his "prepper's paradise." It looks beautiful- and full of resources- out there in the Northwest.
On Christmas Day, I also came across an article about active military preppers on the UPI website. From the Deep South:
We evidently dodged the Mayan end-of-the-world bullet, but so-called preppers in the United States say they'll stay prepared nonetheless.
Navy Times reported last week people such as Gunnery Sgt. David Williams of Gulfport, Miss., who are part of the preppers movement — people who say they intend to be prepared for whatever calamities befall us — don't care if you think they're crazy. They just take comfort in their stockpiles of food, water, weapons and other vital supplies.
"A lot of the guys in my unit think I'm crazy. I'll push the zombie apocalypse and the whole 2012 end-of-the-world business. I don't really believe any of that crap, but it makes it fun," Williams, a member of a Navy Seabee construction unit who has served in Afghanistan, told the newspaper. "When you're planning for the zombie apocalypse, you're still planning.
"Survival really is a community effort. If you're just one dude or one family living in a bunker, what are you living for? What's the point? What are [you] trying to stick around for? You might as well go out with everybody else because there isn't going to be anything when you climb out of your hole."
Williams — who has served as an instructor at the Marine Corps' Mountain Warfare Training Center in Bridgeport, Calif., and has been a survival, evasion, resistance and escape instructor — has written the Survivology 101 blog for the past three years.
"If we all die together, we all die together," Williams said. "But if we make it through, we become a strong community and we rebuild. It may not be the diehard survival mentality, but there has to be something to live for, too. You have to have something more than yourself; otherwise, you're a sociopath and probably don't need to be living anyway."
Like with a lot of things in life, preppers seem to come in all shapes and sizes.

Film critic Roger Ebert, who originally sparked a blaze of discussion in late 2005 by labeling video games inferior to art like film and theater, reignited talks last week when he "clarified," so to speak, that games could be art but not "high art."

In an editorial published last weekend, film critic Roger Ebert seems to renege somewhat on his previous insistence that video games, a medium he finds to be "inherently inferior to film and literature," cannot be considered a form of art.

New Chicago man acquitted of stalking former girlfriend
By James D. Wolf Jr. Post-Tribune correspondent April 25, 2013 11:30AM
Updated: April 25, 2013 9:38PM
VALPARAISO — A jury found a New Chicago man not guilty of stalking a former girlfriend while he was waiting trial on charges of torching her car and while in Porter County Jail waiting sentencing for that.
Brandon L. Scroggin, 29, is already serving a 19-year sentence for his August 2012 conviction of Class C felony receiving stolen auto parts, Class D felony arson and Class D felony intimidation, which is for his March 2012 theft of a vehicle used to go burn her car and hit her relative's vehicle.
If the jury found him guilty of the Class C felony stalking charge, he could have served another eight years plus any habitual offender sentence enhancement.
Deputy Prosecutor Trista Hudson had dismissed six lesser invasion of privacy counts and argued that Scroggin made the calls -- some from jail -- to show he could still reach her, creating such a feeling of terror for her that she believed he was the one who burned down her new home.
Defense attorney Anthony Bertig argued that the calls from the jail the jury heard on tape were friendly and showed Scroggin apologizing, assuring her he didn't torch her home and being concerned about his unborn child.

'Black Box' or 'Spy Box'? US regulators want to make car data recorders mandatory
Posted By yihan On December 29, 2012 @ 6:03 am In Prison Planet | Comments Disabled
December 29, 2012
US regulators want to make event data recorders (EDRs), similar to "black boxes" used on planes, mandatory on all cars produced from September 2014. The move has sparked a tense debate between safety advocates and those worried about loss of privacy.
The National Transportation Safety Agency (NHTSA), which is in charge of setting motoring regulation, has submitted a proposal for public comment in the Federal Register. Currently, standard EDRs automatically collect data on a car's speed, the use of brakes, the number and seating of passengers, seat belt deployment and dozens of other parameters to help reconstruct how a car was behaving in the seconds before a crash. The data is continuously recorded and overwritten onto an electronic carrier inside the car, but when certain triggers are set off – say, an airbag is deployed – the data is saved and can be downloaded.
The recording, which is usually the last 30 seconds before any accident, is then passed onto the NHTSA for analysis, currently with the owner's consent.
"By understanding how drivers respond in a crash and whether key safety systems operate properly, NHTSA and automakers can make our vehicles and our roadways even safer," claimed Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "This proposal will give us the critical insight and information we need to save more lives."

It's been five years since the Argentine singer-songwriter Juana Molina last dropped an album, and she'll break that streak this fall with a new one called Wed 21. Molina is responsible for just about every sound on the album; she composed every song, produced and recorded everything, and played every instrument. The first single is "Eras," which has the sort of time signature that might confuse Radiohead but which still has a perfectly lovely lilting groove. Give it a listen below.
Wed 21 is out 10/29 on Crammed Discs.

Team seeks turtle nests during Va. Beach project
Observers are patrolling Virginia Beach's coast at night, looking for signs of nesting sea turtles.
Their goal is to protect turtle nests from heavy machinery being used to conduct beach replenishment work.
The team from East Coast Observers goes out on ATVs every two hours from sunset to sunrise. That's when turtles usually nest and hatch.
East Coast Observers founder Trish Bargo tells the Virginian-Pilot that the observers will contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service if they see a turtle nesting in the construction area. The turtle will then be relocated to a safer area.
Five sea turtles were found in Virginia Beach last year. Bargo says none have been found in the dredging areas this year so far.

It appears as if it's not just the poor businesses in Europe but now sites of all different kinds that have a funny view of Google as a search engine. I say funny because they apparently have decided that in order to get ranked (or retain rankings that they have lost) they need to implement the latest technique in SEO which is complaining about fair treatment from Google.
An article in the Wall Street Journal this past weekend reports
Google Inc. increasingly is promoting some of its own content over that of rival websites when users perform an online search, prompting competing sites to cry foul.
The Internet giant is displaying links to its own services—such as local-business information or its Google Health service—above the links to other, non-Google content found by its search engine.

|MS and Tongue Numbness
Share |
Multiple Sclerosis Articles
Multiple Sclerosis is a difficult disease with a multitude of symptoms – some of them manageable, some not, some "ordinary" and some strange. One of the strange symptoms of MS is tongue numbness.
It's needless to say, that tongue numbness is something that doesn't happen very often, and when it does, it poses and raises a lot of questions. This especially since the tongue is our only speech organ, and when one's tongue is numb for long periods of time, one indubitably fears that he or she is going to lose his or her ability to speak.
The question is: is tongue numbness normal in MS?
The answer isn't a simple one, as multiple sclerosis is not a simple disease. However, in order to find an answer we must look into the illnesses' processes.
As it is well known, multiple sclerosis is a demyelinating illness. Myelin is a substance that covers the axons of nerves. The nerves, transfer electrical impulses to various parts of the body to perform actions, and electrical impulses are processed and interpreted by the brain. Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease, which means that one's immune system attacks its own body. In the case of Multiple Sclerosis, the immune system attacks the myelin coating, which leads to poor nerve functioning, more precisely the electrical impulses have a hard time reaching their destination intact. Since one's nervous system controls the whole body, is only natural to experience several symptoms, some more severe than others, including muscle weakness and numbness - the tongue is a muscle.
So, what does one have to do when this happens?
It's needless to say that this is a neurological problem cause by multiple sclerosis, and the best option is to consult a healthcare specialist.
Needless to say, there are cases when MS isn't responsible for tongue numbness, as this can also be a sign or symptom of another disease. This is again, a situation where a healthcare specialist needs to be consulted, as he or she is the best person to offer assistance, help and treatment.
No matter the case, tongue numbness is something very unpleasant, and can be scary. But, there are treatments and solutions, so there is no need for those that experience it think that this is the end of the world.

History of World Vegan Month
The month starts with World Vegan Day on 1 November to celebrate the founding of the world's first Vegan Society on that day in November 1944. The word 'vegan' was chosen founder by Donald Watson and his 'non-dairy vegetarians' to describe their diet. Watson took the first and last two letters of 'vegetarian' to create this new word.
Here's a first edition of The Vegan News from 1944
World Vegan Day and World Vegan Month are organised by The Vegan Society. Why not become part of the world's original Vegan Society?

The Roboformer G2 robotic press brake cell is said to be a single, cohesive bending unit with the power to automatically synchronize all movements of both press brake and robot directly from solid models. The unit is reportedly ideal for automatic part bending of large, heavy parts. The bending unit consists of software, control systems, and the SiX controller, which enables finished parts to be produced directly from CAD drawings. The robotic press brake is said to be designed for companies that work with small, often varied batches and are seeking ways to improve their quality, competitiveness, and time-to-market. According to the company, the unit is an ideal solution for companies just beginning to automate their shops, as well as those with long histories of high efficiency and lean manufacturing practices.

State lawmakers to introduce bill to create board to oversee Milwaukee County mental health services
There's a plan in the works to take Milwaukee County out of the mental health business.
Republican state Rep. Joe Sanfelippo, of West Allis, and Republican state Sen. Leah Vukmir, of Wauwatosa, plan to introduce a bill to create a mental health board that will oversee and manage mental health services in Milwaukee County.
"We need to change the way process occurs and get people care in the community and in the outpatient settings, and we hope by putting together a group of professionals who really understand mental illness that they're going to help us come up with a solution, so the best care can be given to these individuals," Vukmir said.
Right now, the county runs those services at the mental health complex on the county grounds.

The Fieseler Storch Fi-156 was another one of these very special aircraft that earned their fame in World War 2. Where the British used their Lysander for nightly STOL operations, the German side had the Storch to land on virtually ANY place that wasn't inundated.
This particular model is another master piece of our designated aircraft designer Simon Smeiman, and built after an existing and still flying specimen. I traveled to Florida twice to visit the wonderful aircraft museum and aviation events organization of Kermit Weeks; Fantasy of Flight. That's where I took all the photos for this bird, sat in it, crawled underneath and talked ot the pilot.
Yes, it is a war time and military aircraft, and yes, some versions have a machinegun in the back.... and it actually fires as well. But even if you're not so fond of wartime machines, chances are you'll love this little bird. You can use the unarmed Ambulance version.
It flies slower than a Cessna, lands in about a quarter of the distance, has excellent visibility all around and is the ultimate plane to savour the scenery gliding by underneath.
This FSAddon model comes in two versions; wheels and skis.
There are regular versions, used for VIP transport and artillery control, but there's also a very special ambulance version with two wounded soldiers carried on stretchers behind the pilot !
Furthermore you get no less than TEN different liveries with these versions. Check out the images we provided.
Customers of Fieseler Storch Operations will have the opportunity of FREE downls of 'special missions' that will be released later this year.
This model was developed with FSX compatible tools, tested and found to be working well with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.
System requirements:
Microsoft Flight Simulator X (SP2 or Acceleration)
Microsoft Windows XP / Vista / 7
Pentium 2 GHz (Duo2Core Intel recommended)
1 GB RAM (2 GB recommended)

Nancy Mullis and James Mann of
She Cooks...He Cleans
Q: How did you get involved in cooking to begin with? Was it something you learned to love early on or did you come to it later?
NM — I'm not sure how I first became interested in cooking — I suspect I was just looking for something to do as a bored teenager in rural North Carolina. I remember going through my mother's recipe box to find something I could make, and ending up with a chess pie because that's what I had ingredients for. I had no idea what a chess pie was! I apparently have an affinity for mixing things up and "cooking" them, which later translated into a career in clinical laboratory science. I have to say, my creations in the kitchen are far more delicious!
Q: Why is eating grass-fed meat and sustainably-caught fish different? How does it affect your cooking?
NM — I feel that cooking and eating meat from pastured animals and wild-caught fish is a more natural choice than animals that have been raised in environments that they are not adapted to. These animals are healthier, and therefore healthier for us as consumers.
Q: Is it just about health? Or is there more to it than that?
JM — More than just health, focusing on the "total experience" with the food you cook becomes a part of your lifestyle. You don't want to eat food that taxes the planet, is grown with chemicals, or pollutes our water and topsoil.
Q: How did you learn about grass-fed meat?
JM — From reading "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan, particularly the chapter dealing with farmer Joel Salatin. The idea that what — and how — an animal lives and eats was eye-opening to me.
NM — For me it started with the documentary, "Food, Inc.", which opened my eyes to the horrors of factory farms. At first I began to seek out alternatives to big industrial farms primarily because of sustainability and food safety issues, but along the way learned about the tremendous health benefits from eating grass-fed meat.
Q: Why is it so important to have the right ingredients?
NM — Using ingredients of the best quality only makes sense, if you want the end result to be of the best quality. As the old saying goes, you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Whether you prepare food for your family or friends, or just yourself, you not only want it to taste good, but you don't want to poison anyone with your efforts. Everyone knows that stale spices or spoiled ingredients will ruin the taste of the dish or make someone sick. Those are short-term effects. Consuming fruits and vegetables laden with pesticides, or animals kept alive with antibiotics, pumped up with hormones, and fed a low-nutrient, grain-based diet — these things will affect your long-term health.
Q: What are the most important keys to success for the home chef?
JM — Passion! If you don't love food, and look at mealtimes as just another "chore", then your food will reflect it. I grew up in a household where my mother cooked after a long day at work, and never really got into it. So until I met Nancy, I had no idea what creative cooking and good taste were! But from the very first dish she prepared for me — Goat Cheese Chicken — I became a "foodie"!
Q: What are your best tips for home cooking?
NM — "Keep it Simple" is good advice for cooking (and life in general). Often the less tinkering done with the food, the better it is because the natural flavors shine through. Also, read a lot of different recipes to pick up on what flavors complement each other or enhance the taste of the main ingredient, but don't be afraid to experiment on your own.
Q: What is your favorite recipe using grass-fed meat?
We are big fans of ribs and steak — neither of which need much in the way of a recipe to be delicious. We also really enjoyed the Beef Chili Rellenos, and the Lamb Chops with Moroccan Spice Rub!

FAA validation of foreign licence
Asked by: Huvelle battiste 1633 views FAA Regulations
I'd like to know if FAA validate EASA PPL with Instrument Rating on it.
I plan to go to the US in september but will only be IR approved in end of July, so I have to request my validation near the FAA in mid-July which means before getting Instrument rated.
Will they issue me a validation of licence including IR upon the show of my licence with IR on it ?
Does they issue a paper stating that my EASA licence is valid in the US with all the privileges relating to my EASA licence ?
Thank you so much

On screen, Tony Soprano's extended family is half biological, half diabolical. But on location for the revered HBO gangster saga's top secret series-finale episode, a third, behind-the-scenes Sopranos clan waits behind the camera. It's a chilly March night, and James Gandolfini and Jamie-Lynn Sigler are filming a characteristically heartfelt but head-butting daddy/daughter conversation between Tony and Meadow in a SoHo Japanese restaurant. During camera setups, Gandolfini wanders to the rear of the eatery, away from his TV offspring, and begins mischievously lobbing Altoids at the head of his real-life 7-year-old son, Michael. Sitting directly to the left of Michael is Sopranos creator David Chase, who is directing the finale next to his wife and childhood sweetheart, Denise. The lines separating relation by blood, script, and time card have all vanished. After shooting six and a half seasons in 10 years, everyone here is considered in the show's parlance ''family.'' They've been through countless ''Greatest TV Drama Ever!'' deifications, and almost as many ''It's not as good as it used to be!'' critical backlashes. They've seen death pools gamble on their whack-prone characters, and watched TV give birth to numerous tough-talking antiheroes clearly inspired by their own show. The cast, crew, extended relations they're close as kin, brothers in arms, friends 4-eva...
Yet in two weeks, when production on the last of these nine episodes (which premiere April 8 at 9 p.m.) is finished, they'd better find themselves a new gang. Show's over, don't let the Bada hit you in the Bing on your way out. Because Chase, the family's capo di tutti capi the man who shapes all the threats that come out of Tony's mouth, the dreams that come out of his head, the bullets that come out of his minions' guns is done. He's not unsentimental, but after controlling and inspecting every aspect of 86 episodes, he's spent. ''A point will come when I'll think, 'Oh, man, I miss those people, I miss that process,''' says Chase between takes. But right now? ''It'll feel like relief.... Creatively, artistically it's finished.'' And while the rest of his cast is in an extended state of say it ain't so mourning, Gandolfini is right behind Chase on his way out the door. Though he is careful to say how important the show and cast are to him, Gandolfini doesn't seem plagued by any rueful nostalgia. ''We're all gonna see each other,'' he says, the sound of his foot tapping almost as loud as his voice. ''But for me, personally, it's time to go.''
But how will the show go out? Brutally, bloodily, and loudly, like Joe Pantoliano's Ralph Cifaretto? Or abruptly and senselessly, with a pathetic whimper, like Adriana's pocket dog, fatally sat upon by a drug-addled Christopher? During last year's polarizing first half of season 6, some fans and critics salivating for a wild wind-down complained of meandering plotlines, such as Tony's alternate-reality coma state, or Vito's Johnny Cakes detour to New Hampshire. On a DVD commentary for one of those 2006 episodes, Chase referenced that criticism by sarcastically introducing The Sopranos as ''the famous show where nothing happens,'' and his sneer was visible even on an audio track. Merely mentioning it on the set exasperates him all over again, and he cites last year's ninth episode, which revolved around a mishap at an Italian street festival involving Janice and her baby girl. ''Someone said, 'So an amusement-park ride breaks, that's what The Sopranos is about now?''' Chase, 61, shakes his head, his weary eyes even wearier. ''That episode was about the need for stimulation. People have an emptiness within them, and you need to be stimulated and do something. Not only that, but Paulie Walnuts saw the Virgin Mary! That's nothing happening? I don't know what to say.'' He laughs, but it is not the laugh of a man who has put this behind him. ''The thing is,'' he adds, flashing a wicked grin, ''I'll say, 'You want to see nothing?' And I'll do less. Sometimes it's hard not to enjoy that you're irritating some people.''
Is that a threat? Will The Sopranos end with a nine-episode arc of Tony painting his basement in real time? Chase won't go that far: The notoriously secretive master plotter has revealed that Tony's truce with acting New York boss Phil Leotardo (Frank Vincent) will start to fray, and that Christopher's (Michael Imperioli) slasher movie will finally be finished. But when it comes to the series finale always a near-impossible landing to stick for beloved shows Chase is dead set against yielding to demand for a definitive period at the end of the series' sentence. (A jail sentence? A death sentence?) Chase has always said The Sopranos isn't a morality tale, and he has no interest in the tidy TV tradition of tying up all loose ends. After all, people have been asking him for nearly six years what happened to the Russian who escaped from Paulie and Christopher in the Pine Barrens, and he's still confounded by the question. ''I remember David saying, 'I don't know what happened to him,''' says Imperioli. ''In TV everyone's used to closure, but David said in life things happen and they're a big deal while you're going through it, but they don't always resolve and they kind of drift out of your consciousness. He'd rather the show be more like life.''
Chase came up with the endgame about four years ago. ''There'll be people who will like the finale, and people who won't like it,'' shrugs Chase. ''But I think that if people look at what the show was, or could even watch the whole story again, they'll understand what the ending is.'' Keeping The Sopranos consistent is, as always, Chase's top priority. He oversees everything, from writing the final polish on all scripts to supervising the editing of each episode. (He directed the pilot, but his time-consuming control has since kept him from such duty until the finale, providing a nice bookend for the series.) ''He agonizes over the show,'' says Paramount chief and Sopranos executive producer Brad Grey. ''I've never seen anyone give as much attention to detail and care for every component of a show as David.''
But more pressing than the fatigue was the fact that in his mind, the story was finished. ''I felt we'd really done it,'' says Chase, who plans after a vacation to pursue his longtime goal of directing a movie. (He once mentioned to EW his desire to do a psychological thriller, and Grey hopes to lure him to Paramount.) ''These characters don't have much in the way of goals that they're trying to achieve. The adults are rooted in their spot, they stay in their own neighborhoods. They don't try any extreme skiing or anything like that,'' he laughs. ''There's not much you can do with them without jumping the shark.''
You could forgive his cast for not believing him when, before the sixth season began, he announced this would be the last one. He'd said the same thing before three of the previous five seasons. And then he ended up stretching this sixth cycle from its usual 13 episodes to 21 episodes, split into two parts. Edie Falco (Tony's suffering but enabling wife, Carmela) held out hope that this was just another false alarm. ''It does take him a while to talk himself into believing that he can find the story lines,'' she says. ''He ends up saying, 'I can do this, and this...''' But they all soon realized this wasn't a decision that was going to change. ''In the past, he maybe felt like he couldn't do it anymore,'' says HBO chairman and CEO Chris Albrecht. ''But this was, 'I don't want to do this anymore. I know where I want to end it and I want to get to that ending.'''
In late February, at The Sopranos' base in Queens' Silvercup Studios (which houses all the interior sets, such as the Soprano home, the Bada Bing! back room, and Dr. Melfi's office), the cast and producers gathered around a square of folding tables for the read-through of the final script the point when all the actors speak their lines aloud for the first time. At the end of the previous 85 read-throughs, everyone clapped and rushed off either to go their separate ways or to get back to filming. When No. 86 was done, people clapped...and then nobody moved, stunned into silence at the realization that this would be their last such gathering. ''There was probably a good three minutes of silence,'' remembers Sigler. ''Nobody wanted to get up, nobody wanted it to feel like it was the end. We wanted David to turn to us and say, 'Just kidding! We're actually doing more!''' Says Aida Turturro, who plays Tony's sister, Janice, ''You have a group of very bigmouthed people there, me being one of them, and I couldn't speak.''
Barring the occasional unexpected whacking (Mikey Palmice, we hardly knew ya!), The Sopranos has been a wonderfully safe haven for its cast. (Job stability and orgasmic reviews? Not a bad way to spend 10 years.) And now it's vanishing. ''It's like we're reaching the end of a cliff,'' says the soft-spoken and most un-Uncle-Junior-like Dominic Chianese about the final days of shooting. ''We're gonna fly and take off.'' Some people are grabbing souvenirs: Chianese is hoping to hold on to Junior's storm-window-size glasses; Falco nabbed a ''hideous wall hanging with shells and a sea horse'' from the Soprano family kitchen (''I decided Carmela made it in craft class''); and Lorraine Bracco has laid claim to Dr. Melfi's whole office. And then there are future plans to be made: Falco wants a break from TV and is considering doing a play; Imperioli is shooting a comedy in Iceland and developing another series with HBO; and Steven Van Zandt (Silvio) is going back to his day job in music, where he must occasionally answer to another famous New Jersey ''Boss.'' (The acting world is ''too cutthroat,'' he says.) As for Tony Sirico (Paulie Walnuts), he wants it known he's open to a sitcom in New York: ''Something like an Uncle Carmine who just got out of jail after 20 years. Maybe he's living with Kelly Ripa, his daughter. Funny stuff!'' But all of them would be happy to give all those opportunities up for more Sopranos. ''As far as I'm concerned, you could follow these characters for the rest of their lives, and it would, I hope, be at least a little bit interesting,'' says Falco. ''But this is not my show. I am but a cog, and I trust that if David says the story is done, then we're done.'' At the very least, Sirico demands a movie version. ''Especially because they're [in talks] to shoot Sex and the City on the big screen,'' he rants. ''How dare they? Am I right?''
Should The Sopranos ever really head to the big screen, they may have to recast the part of Tony. The 45-year-old Gandolfini sounds unwavering about his desire to leave the character behind. ''It's a funny show, but it's a harsh f---ing show,'' he says. ''You stay in that world a lot, you want to take a bath afterwards. David really cuts to the essence of primates: a little insult, you pick the lice off me the wrong way, and it's all kind of s---, man.'' And as Tony, he's been violent, pensive, emotional, tortured and always at the center of this animal frenzy, a demanding proposition. ''Energy is part of what makes this show,'' says Turturro. ''James doesn't get enough credit for its success. Year after year and scene after scene, he works so hard.''
The actor likens himself to a sponge, and every day he's had to come in and wring himself out. ''Playing somebody 80 hours a week, you wonder if it's shaping you while you're shaping it,'' he says a formidable question considering the similarities between the actor and character. ''I had certain things: a ridiculous temper for no reason, like a child,'' he says. ''Actually, as the character was working on that, I was working on it through the character. A lot of the s--- Tony found out in therapy helped me: Depression is anger turned inward, all that stuff.'' For the last two seasons, Gandolfini's considered moving on, but Chase always convinced him there was more to say. ''I don't think we went on too long,'' says the actor. ''But if we kept going, we would.''
While Gandolfini and Chase may be ready to go, fans can't help but look for any hint of waffling that might provide hope that The Sopranos might somehow, someway, someday come back. Like this entry buried in Chase's résumé: The onetime scribe for The Rockford Files, which ended in 1980, wrote a 1996 reunion TV movie for James Garner called The Rockford Files: Punishment and Crime. Aha! So maybe he does always come back! Explain that, Mr. Finale! ''Frankly,'' says Chase, sticking a shiv in our fantasy, ''I think we should have left Rockford in the '70s. And I wouldn't make that mistake again.''
And yet... ''That doesn't mean I would rule it out,'' he adds. What's that?!? Stop the presses! Maybe Tony Sirico is onto something after all! Chase sighs. ''The reason I'm so cautious about this is, I say these things, and then they say, 'David Chase is jerking our chain. He's trying to lead us on that maybe there will be a Sopranos movie.' I'm not.'' His voice rises with the same frustrated emphasis that Al Gore's gets when he says for the thousandth time that he does not intend to run for president. ''There is no plan. I don't think we should do one. But everybody reserves the right to change their mind at some time, or miss something and want to go back to it. I'm realistic enough not to rule that out, but I would say the chances are really unlikely.''
Gandolfini may not want to carry his alter ego forward, but what about looking back? Any regrets over the past six seasons? ''I wish we didn't kill Vinnie Pastore [Big Pussy],'' says the actor. ''He was a great character.'' Anyone else? ''No,'' he says with a smirk. ''Everyone else should have f---in' died. Sooner.''
