Transcript: Bruins Media Day Press Conference | 09.28.09 at 9:28 pm ET |
The Boston Bruins held their pre-season media today this morning. The session started with a press conference panel of owner Jeremy Jacobs, principal owner Charlie Jacobs, head coach Claude Julien, general manager Peter Chiarelli, and vice president Cam Neely. The transcript from the press conference is below.
Pressure to live up to last year's 116 points within the sports culture of Boston?
Jeremy Jacobs: Simple answer? Yes. There is an expectation on my part and the community at large. I share the same goal, my ambition is to win a Stanley Cup and I think we have the personalities in place from management, coaching and players. So, I look for a great season and will be disappointed if there is anything less than that.
How impressed are you with the brain trust that has been put together in the front office?
Jeremy Jacobs: I think he [Peter Chiarelli] has done a great job. We've extended our relationship and our contract and I expect that we are building on something. Every body here [the media] are all totally and justifiably critical when we stumbled at first but we got it going and stayed with it and I think the organization is working really well and I think there are personalities in place to run it.
On sending Brad Marchand and Zach Hamill down and the depth of the organization.
Chiarelli: I think both of them have had tremendous camps and I told Zach this morning that, we had talked about him playing at the rookie tournament and when some of the other guys just didn't play. That was good thing that he did, you could see it in how he played in the main camp. I said that most importantly it was the work he did in the development camp, the summer camp, so you have to build on it when you go down to Providence. I told him he had a good camp. I told him he has to work on his battles when he goes down low and I thought the speed caught up to him a little bit at the end.
When I talked to Brad I told him that he had a very good camp and that he was on the right track and while his game is always simple, sometimes down in Providence it tended to get a little complicated and we tried to fix that and he tried to fix it during the camp. So, two young kids, both speak well for the future.
Those guys and the guys we assigned down on Saturday. I like our depth here. It is in different sorts, it's not just a finesse player here or something but players that can fill in different capacities.
On health situation at the start of the year.
Chiarelli: As of today, I haven't talked to the training staff, but as of today I believe we will be pretty healthy at the start of the year unless something were to happen between now and then. You hear of a lot of these teams with groins and hips and, you know, it was a condensed training camp this year and we had maybe one more game than maybe we wanted to. So, I think Claude [Julien] can speak to this, but I think the off day yesterday was good and I think we will get some productive work in between now and the start of the year.
On having first five games at home.
Julien: Well, first of all I think the first part of the season is probably more important no matter whether you are on the home or on the road than most people think and it's been brought to our attention every year that teams in good shape on Thanksgiving are usually the teams that end up in the playoffs. So, we are aware of that and the important-cy of getting off to a good start but even more so this year in front of our fans. No doubt the first five games in front of our fans will be crucial in their minds.
Filling Phil Kessel's Shoes.
Julien: We are confident with the team that we have here, no doubt. We have Marco Sturm back and healthy so, as a group we are a strong team. We fell stronger as well with some young guys having matured and Marco Sturm in as I mentioned he was out most of last year. David Krejci is ahead of the curve right now and we're hopefully looking forward to seeing him in the opener. All in all I think our team is in great shape. Tuuka Rask is going to be a great goaltender to support Tim [Thomas].
We're very confident and I think this Kessel issue for us is in the past and we're moving forward.
Addition of ECHL Redding team helping the organization.
Chiarelli: We will providing some players there as those who won't be on Providence. So, anytime you can expand your organization depth wise it's going to help in the long run. I think we are probably going to provide two or three players there, so, it is a good addition. The last few years we have had east coast affiliates and I think they are affiliated with a couple other teams so they have good staff there and good for the development of our young guys.
On what the race for the conference will look like.
Julien: I am not one to look at these situations as a whole and just sit there and say that we have to be at the top. I think we have to work our way to the top, just like we did last year. There is nothing different except that the challenge will be bigger. There is more respect towards our team this year so obviously there are teams around our conference who are certainly improved. Philadelphia is one of those teams with [Chris] Pronger on the back end, they are certainly going to be a better team. I don't think I am going to spend all my energy worrying about what's on the outside. I think it's important to worry about your back yard and for me it is about the preparation of our team. I have said all along that if teams want to beat us, they are going to have to adapt to us, because we are not going to adapt to others. We play our style of game and we feel confident with it and we will go forward with it as well.
Patrice Bergeron has an extra bounce to his skates this pre-season?
Julien: I think Patrice has taken off where he left off last year. You know, he went through a lot and we were patient and helped him along the way to find his game again but what he went through is something that you don't want to see again and I think he had a great second half and even the playoffs. I have mentioned that before, he was one of our best forwards in the series. I think he was excited about it when he left here last year and is excited about coming back and I think that is a continuation of what you saw last year.
For someone who has played in the finals twice, what does this team need to do to reach that mark?
Neely: We just need to learn from last year. As a player you learn from the experiences you go through. I think when we got to the finals in 1988 it was the first time for a lot of us to be in the finals and I think a lot of us, including myself, were thrilled to be in the finals. Then, in '90, we understood what happened in '88 and we don't look at it like we are excited to be in the finals. You have to remember two years ago, for a lot of our players it was their first time being in the playoffs and a lot of our key players, it was the first time for them. So, the learned from that series and took it a little bit further last year and what I always have these guys try to remember is how it felt to win those games and how it felt to lose that final game and you can learn from that. I think we have a lot of guys that know we should have gone a little deeper than we did and I think they're hungry to get back to that challenge to go a little deeper.
Will the team be actively searching the waiver wire as the league wide roster cut deadline looms?
Chiarelli: Waiver acquisition that we'd look at? You basically react to that. You have a general idea of who is going to be on and we will look at who is on today. We will see who is up there and I suspect we will see some activity as far as trading players, for teams that are under cap crunches. So, I will be fielding some calls but I don't anticipate anything happening.
On Versus and Direct TV customers not seeing opening night.
Jeremy Jacobs: I think you are right, it doesn't look good. The commissioner and everybody in the league office is doing what they can do but the situation is not within our control. We know how unhappy the whole hockey world is. I think the best thing is that everybody should be put on notice that if they want to watch our game with what the circumstances are, if they want to watch our game get to a location where they can see it from. Right now it does not look good to be broadcast. They are moving at glacial speed.
Giving Sturm a try out on the top line with Savard considering how the speedy Kessel played there.
Julien: We'd certainly like, to a certain extent, put some speed again on that wing and Marc is good at finding those guys so we will give those guys a try. Like I mentioned through training camp there is nothing carved in stone. We are going to put the best lines together as we can possibly find and if that means tweaking them and moving them around we will until we find the right combination. I think right now it is worth having a look at and Marco has played the off wing before and he feels comfortable there as well so, again, there is a guy who hasn't played in a while so we have to take that into consideration whether he's on top of his game or whether he is trying to find it again.
With the stable situations in the front office and on the ice, what are the tweaking points that could be made during the season?
Chiarelli: Structurally I do not foresee anything. I mean, we always exchange ideas and philosophies where we hope to improve the communication between the management, the coaching staff and the team. We always look to improve. I can't tell you anything that we haven't told you already, I know there are some themes that Claude and I have talked about that we want to impress on the team all year. Besides that, I am happy where we are at. We always look to improve but there will nothing really significant from within the management group.
Krejci: I'll be a 'game day' decision for Oct. 1 opener | 09.24.09 at 1:50 pm ET |
WILMINGTON — David Krejci had one of his best practices of the preseason on Thursday afternoon at Ristuccia Arena, and said afterward that he'll likely be a "game day" decision for the Oct. 1 NHL regular season opener against the Washington Capitals at the TD Garden. The 23-year-old center said that crossing over to the right side remains the biggest area of difficulty he's experiencing while taking part in a full practice workload, but he's well ahead of the curve after undergoing surgery on his right hip last spring.
"I think the chances of me playing are a little better. Much better actually. But you know it's going to be, I guess, a 'game day' decision. It's going to be really close," said Krejci, who less than two weeks ago said there was a 10 percent chance he'd ready for the season opener. "The doctors said it was going to be 4-6 months, and next week it'll be four months. So I believe all summer I only took two weeks off when I went back home. I worked really hard to try and get back into shape. The doctors said it's a good thing I didn't take any days off, and it's made the process faster."
The Bruins clearly aren't going to push Krejci out onto the ice before he's ready, and B's coach Claude Julien has stressed that the young center won't see game action until he's 100 percent ready and cleared by the training staff. That being said, the B's bench boss won't hesitate to throw his No. 2 center back out onto the ice against the Caps if he's healthy enough to play.
Krejci hasn't been restricted from anything during practice over the last week, and Julien said the only thing missing from Krejci's is that short, confident skating burst that comes only with a clean bill of health in his right hip.
"We'll just have to wait and see about Krejci," said Julien. "He's ahead of schedule and that bodes well. When last season ended we figured we'd be without him for a month to a month-and-a-half to start the season, and that was the diagnosis for his recovery.
"Now things are going well. We are talking about right now 'if' Krejci can start the season. You don't work all summer and go through all of training camp, and then think about taking a risk (with Krejci) by putting him in early. That for sure won't happen. When he goes in it'll be when we're really confident that he's feeling good."
Sobotka looking to make a big impression with the B's | 09.22.09 at 1:39 pm ET |
WILMINGTON — Vladimir Sobotka had to look at this as a make-or-break kind of year for him at Bruins training camp.
The 22-year-old Czech Republic native is looking at his best chance to make the Bruins roster right out of camp, and he has played in three preseason games thus far for Boston. Sobotka hasn't cracked the score sheet in those three contests, is a minus-2 and has lifted three shots on net during game action. Hockey clearly isn't a game about numbers, of course, but they indicate what the naked eye has already revealed to the casual observer.
Sobotka was a point-per-game player last season while logging 44 points in 44 games for the AHL Providence Bruins before succumbing to a concussion toward the end of last season. He has proven his tenacity, skill level and confidence at the highest levels of minor league hockey.
But he needs to step up his game in camp and show off the same effective blend of pesky, annoying, in-your-face forechecking and dangerous skill that made him an unmistakable factor in Boston two seasons ago.
Sobotka has yet to make an impression on B's coach Claude Julien and the coaching staff this preseason, and is perhaps trying a little too hard knowing that a potential roster spot is at stake. After all, he's heard about it from the media throughout the first few weeks of camp, so how could he possibly forget that a job is on the line.
He got a big taste of the NHL when he played in 2007-08 down the stretch and participated in the playoffs when Claude Julien relegated Phil Kessel to the bench for the first three games of the series against the Canadiens. Sobotka savored that early exposure to the NHL as a 20-year-old, and it's the reason why he came over from his native Czech Republic to play professional hockey in the United States in the first place. He's played a grand total of 63 NHL games over the last two seasons but still hasn't had his breakthrough campaign like fellow Czech David Krejci enjoyed last winter.
"I keep getting the same questions. I always say that I'm going to try to do my best and do what the coaches say," said Sobotka. "We have some injuries and we have some open spots, but it's the same answers. I'm going to do my best. This is my important camp. I'm going to play hard, try my best and try to stay here for the whole season.
"I learned a lot last season. It's not hard to go down [to Providence] and come back and play. I learned a lot last season and I'm trying to stay here [in Boston] this season. I came here to play hockey in the NHL, but if I get sent down [to Providence] I'm not going to be disappointed. I'll go down to Providence and I'll play there, you know. But, like I said, I want to stay here, would love to play here and stay in the NHL all season. I just want to do my best."
Sobotka has perhaps felt the pressure of auditioning for a roster spot, and admitted as much in saying that "this is my important camp." That, paired with heavy competition from another young Bruins grinder, Brad Marchand, has made things challenging. Marchand has impressed throughout camp and plays with a Chara-sized chip on his shoulder, and he shares many of the same strengths with his European counterpart. It's been up to Sobotka to match his competitor, and the coaching staff has noticed he's been pressing a bit in the early going.
"He's been OK. I talked to him a little bit this morning and it's more ' with Vlad ' that somehow he has to find that confidence that he has at the American Hockey League," Julien said. "He's got to feel confident about his game. We say it all the time about this guy, he plays like he's 6-foot-3 and he's not afraid to go into the corners. He's got some skill. He's got a great shot, you know.
"He just has to go out there and play the game, and maybe relax a little bit. I think he put a lot of pressure on himself to crack the lineup this year. Can he be better? Absolutely. I think it's just a matter of confidence, and we told him we have the utmost confidence in him. He just needs to go out there and play the way he knows that he can."
Roster spots aren't won in the first two weeks of training camp, however, and the real competition begins in this final stretch of exhibition games prior to the Oct. 1 start to the NHL regular season. Handicapping a roster prior to the late camp games when the real preseason bullets flying is akin to predicting a final score after a hockey game's first period. It's possible, but more oft-times futile.
With four games left in five nights prior to the start of the regular season, the NHL regulars will start commanding more of the ice time, and some early camp wunderkinds will begin to show their age and experience.
It's not too late for Sobotka if he begins to brandish the same kind of fearless, brash certainty that marked his AHL style of play prior to a concussion that prematurely ended his last season last year. The 2005 B's fourth-round pick impressed the heck out of Bruins officials during that first go-round in Black and Gold two years ago, and it's about time for Sobotka to return to his established level of play.
"It almost looks like he might be a little nervous and might be trying to do a little too much," Julien said. "You're not playing with the confidence that you normally have, and I've seen him play in Providence last year. He went out there and made up his mind he was the best player on the ice, and played like it."
Sobotka simply needs to show no fear and begin playing like he's intent on making the most of his Black and Golden opportunity this fall.
Krejci going full-tilt at practice during B's camp | at 11:42 am ET |
WILMINGTON — Bruins coach Claude Julien wasn't ready to announce when B's center David Krejci would get into his first game action — or play during the exhibition season — but did give an update on the 23-year-old center coming off surgery for an impingement in his right hip.
Krejci is enduring a full practice workload with the rest of the team and taking part in all contact drills. Julien indicated that things are going well for the center, and Krejci estimated he had a "10 percent chance" of being ready for NHL opening night against the Washington Capitals on Oct. 1.
"What I can answer is that he's getting better and better, and everything that's going on is positive," said Julien, who indicated that the B's training staff hasn't yet given him full clearance to play in games. "I can give you a date as far as when he's ready to play in a game, but he's practicing full-out and that bodes well. He's taking contact and he's taking part in full practices."
–Marco Sturm was off the ice today for a scheduled maintenance day as he works his way back to full health with a surgically repaired left knee. Sturm was at Ristuccia Arena to take part in off-ice workouts and won't be making the trip to Columbus with the B's traveling party.
–The lineup for Tuesday night's game in Columbus includes: Marc Savard, Patrice Bergeron, Mark Recchi, Johnny Boychuk, Drew Fata, Andrew Ference, Chuck Kobasew, Zach Hamill, Drew Larman, Milan Lucic, Derek Morris, Mark Recchi, Guillame LeFebvre, Vladimir Sobotka, Mark Stuart, Blake Wheeler, Shawn Thornton, Trent Whitfield and Andy Wozniewski. Tuukka Rask and Dany Sabourin will both make the trip, but Sabourin is expected to get the full 60 minutes between the pipes against the Blue Jackets.
Chiarelli: Kessel 'no longer wanted to play in Boston' | 09.19.09 at 12:03 pm ET |
Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli met with the media on Saturday morning to discuss dealing leading-scorer Phil Kessel to the Toronto Maple Leafs for three high draft picks over the next years, and stated pointedly on several occasions that the 21-year-old winger "no longer wanted to play in Boston".
Kessel and agent Wade Arnott had, according to Chiarelli, informed him of a couple of reasons why he no longer wanted to a Bruin, and privately gave the GM a couple of reasons why he needed a change of NHL address. That spurred the B's to trade away Kessel for draft picks in excess of the draft pick compensation for a potential offer sheet, and the Maple Leafs emerged as the only team with the draft pick assets and available cash to swing a trade-and-sign for Boston's restricted free agent.
One of those reasons behind Kessel's desire to leave is believed to be B's coach Claude Julien's "tough love" relationship with him over their two years together. Some believe that Kessel never forgave the coach for benching him during his first playoff series against the Montreal Canadiens, and preaching the importance of a two-way game over simply being a glorified floater on the ice. Kessel scored 36 goals and was a +23 during his breakout season with the Black and Gold last winter, and much of that on-ice success can be traced back to Julien's "no soft play allowed" coaching style.
"He had his best season under this coach. Enough said on that," Chiarelli said of Kessel and Julien. "We stress defense first. We stress competitiveness. Having said all that, what were we, first or second in the league in goals scored? And he had 36, 37 goals? Got him a nice raise."
The B's coach, for his part, didn't get all soft and fuzzy on the relationship he had with a slow-to-mature Kessel during their two seasons together in Boston, but he also didn't feel like the player/coach dynamic was a big factor in the disconnect between Kessel and the Bruins. In his mind, the coach had done everything possible to make things work for both the player and the hockey club.
"I even told him in a conversation that I didn't get a (salary) bonus for making him into a bad player. Everything I did was to try and make him a better player, and I think that message was understood," said Julien. "I think last year his season proved that. He seemed to understand the concept of our team, and besides the 36 goals he was a + player. I feel good personally that I did my best to make him the best player I could, and the rest of that stuff has nothing to do with me.
"I'm not going to sugercoat this. He was no different than any other player that you deal with at times. You never have smooth relationships because there's challenges along the way. What you need to do as a coach is to convince those guys and make them understand and believe that this is what you need to do to be the best team possible. This is what you need to be the best player possible as well. We all know Phil has always grown up as a superstar player, and those guys are a bit of a bigger challenge. But I can tell you last year there were no issues with him resisting, and there shouldn't have been because his season proved that it was very successful."
Chiarelli addressed the addition of the draft picks and the options that it provides the team with $1.7 million under the salary cap. The swap gives the B's a grand total of five draft picks in the first two rounds of next year's draft (two first-rounders and three second-rounders), and affords them plenty of assets should they need a particular player at this season's trade deadline. The Nashville Predators were the other team seriously in on Kessel and a deal with them would have centered on affordable, young prospects (Ryan Ellis, Jon Blum, Colin Wilson) more than draft picks. But no other team — aside from Brian Burke's well-heeled Maple Leafs — was willing to pay the 21-year-old $5.4 million a year for four years of restricted free agency and one year of UFA status from Kessel.
In so many ways this move by the Bruins smacks of a New England Patriots-style manuever where there was a particular value on a player, and the B's front office fortified their long-term future once Toronto's contract offer shot up into the hockey stratosphere. Many of the same factors and beliefs that were at play in the Richard Seymour deal earlier this month are now rearing up on Causeway Street.
Chiarelli added that he could have matched a potential offer sheet from Toronto and then stored Phil Kessel on LTIR (Long Term Injured Reserve) for the entirety of the regular season if the B's front office felt it was necessary. That would have been a largely punitive move toward the player, and would have forced the B's to clear off enough space for his gigantic raise in salary.
Chiarelli surely would have been forced to trade off an Andrew Ference or a Chuck Kobasew — or perhaps Michael Ryder — simply to squeeze Kessel's $5.4 million under the salary cap. That's not even broaching the contractual decisions that await Chiarelli next season when Milan Lucic, Blake Wheeler and Marc Savard are all looking for new deals. None of his other available options seemed prudent or feasible once Chiarelli viewed the Kessel situation in totality.
"At the end of the day, we want players that want to be here," said Chiarelli, who also said the perceived threat of the offer sheet played prominently into the eventual trade. "I know this player is a good player. Obviously he is. He can skate and he can shoot the puck. But we want players that want to be here, and we want to grow the team with those type of players. This isn't about — and I know the history here — but this isn't about frugality. There was some significant offers made, and there was little to no attempt to negotiate from the other side.
"Phil's agent gave me a couple of reasons," added Chiarelli when asked if he knew why Kessel wanted out of Boston. "I was surprised. I don't know if really there were other reasons. He has that right as a restricted free agent and he can choose (where he signs). It's all part of this new CBA whether it's restricted free agency or unrestricted free agency, it comes earlier and arbitration comes earlier so (a player's) mobility and choice of location comes earlier."
There were an overflow of "it's a business" type quotes from the Bruins players in the aftermath of the Kessel deal, but interesting viewpoints from team Captain Zdeno Chara and close friend Blake Wheeler came to the fore. Several times during their three years together, frustration cropped up with Chara toward the youngster's game, and then bubbled over in practice.
The towering defenseman hinted afterwards that the young sniper still has a few things to learn about being a successful player in the NHL, and some of it simply comes down to a commitment toward off-ice training and improvements to his game. One imagines that Chara will teach Kessel a few of these painful lessons the first time he ventures into the corners of the TD Garden ice decorated in a Maple Leafs sweater.
"We all know he's a young, skilled player. When you have young players like that — and not just young players but even older players — you have to realize that you can learn something every day, as they say," said Chara when asked if he had moments of frustration with #81 during his time in Boston. "He has to realize that learning is a part of the game, and sometimes it's a little easier and sometimes it's a little bit harder."
While Chara said he hadn't spoken with Kessel at all, Wheeler still chats regularly on the phone with his former University of Minnesota teammate "3 or 4 times a week" and never got the impression that Kessel was quite so dead-set about not coming back to the Bruins.
"Our conversations were never too much about hockey or the business aspect of it. It was more like 'whatever happens, happens," said Wheeler. "We never had that particular conversation. At the end of the day, maybe, if he had to pick he would have wanted to be here (in Boston). But it just didn't work out."
Julien: 'pretty sure that Savard is 100 percent' | 09.17.09 at 2:11 pm ET |
Marc Savard has yet to appear in either of the first two preseason Bruins games, but B's coach Claude Julien declared the No. 1 center as 100 percent after battling through a left knee issue in the first few days of training camp. Julien wouldn't say when Savard will appear in a preseason game — the B's play Saturday afternoon at home against the Rangers and Sunday night against the Canadiens in Quebec City — but confirmed that it's now a coaching decision rather than a choice left up to the trainers.
Savard said that part of his goal heading into this season was to shed a few pounds and be a bit lighter and quicker on his skates, and he underwent a long-distance running and sprinting program that saw him run 4-6 miles four or five days a week. Warning bells were sounded when Savard needed to leave the ice early on the first day of training camp due to a little knee soreness, but the reports of it being anything serious were greatly exaggerated.
"It's just one of those maintenance things because I've been skating hard on it," said Savard of the left knee. "I want to get in (to a game). There's always things in the real games that you can't do in practice."
The center has looked sleeker on the frozen sheet, certainly, but perhaps all of the hard work caused a little of the left knee discomfort at the beginning of camp. Either way, both Savard and Julien say that the 32-year-old center is ready to drop into game action at this point in training camp.
Savard's motivation is a good thing to hear at this point in camp, and there shouldn't any shortage of reasons for the playmaking center to come up with his best season as a Bruins player. He's in a contract year with his four-year, $20 million set to expire after this season, and he's already put it out there that this campaign is a resume tape of sorts for the Team Canada Olympic decision-makers this fall.
"We'll see what kind of lineup I decide on," said Julien of Savard's chances of playing this weekend. "I don't think it's for any other reason than me picking out my lineup. It's a choice of mine more than anything else. In Savvy's case, I'm pretty sure he's 100 percent. So it's just a matter of when we decide to put him in."
Bruins set lineup for Maple Leafs preseason tilt | 09.16.09 at 11:47 am ET |
Blake Wheeler leads a Boston Bruins traveling party for a Wednesday night preseason game against the Toronto Maple Leafs following up on Tuesday night's 2-1 win over the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Wheeler, Byron Bitz, Brad Marchand, Jamie Arniel and Vladimir Sobotka will play among the forward group for the second straight game, and both Matt Hunwick and Adam McQuaid will play for the second straight day.
The B's players getting their first taste of preseason action include: Steve Begin, Patrice Bergeron, Drew Larman, Guillaume Lefebvre, Jeff LoVecchio, Michael Ryder and Shawn Thornton at forward, and Derek Morris, Mark Stuart, Dennis Wideman and Any Wozniewski on defense. Dany Sabourin is expected to get the call between the pipes for the Bruins, and will play the whole game as Tuukka Rask did Tuesday night against the Rangers.
"I think we saw a lot of good things from the younger players (against the Rangers)," said B's coach Claude Julien. "Of course Max Sauve had the game-winning goal, but more than that probably surpassed what we expected from him and played well. Tuukka played well between the pipes, and Brad Marchand played well. Zach Hamill made some plays and he continued what he started at the rookie camps.
"You could see the Penners and the Bodnarchuks, you could see they have a year of pro under their belts and they were able to handle the pressure of the forecheck a lot better."

"The footage that you're about to watch of China's dog-leather trade is one of the worst things I've ever seen," begins the Grammy award-winning and Academy Award and Oscar-nominated Hollywood actor Joaquin Phoenix in his new PETA Asia exposé released in the lead up to Lakme Fashion Week and Amazon India Fashion Week coming up in March.
The footage was captured by a PETA Asia investigator at a facility that bludgeons and skins 100 to 200 dogs a day.
Most of the world's leather comes from China, where there are no penalties for abusing animals killed for their skins.
Products made from dog leather are exported throughout the world and sold to unsuspecting customers. So if you buy leather, remember: There's no easy way to tell whose skin you're really in.
Vegan Phoenix shuns clothes made of any animal's skin, wool, or fur and famously wore vegan leather boots as Johnny Cash in Walk the Line.
Join Joaquin in speaking out against leather! Learn more about the investigation and sign the pledge here.

In honour of National Science Day on 28 February, we're putting PETA India and our international affiliates under the microscope to see how they are modernising science in India and around the world. Here are the top seven ways:
1. Ending Product Testing on Animals
Blinding rabbits for mascara or detergent? Not on our watch! Following intense campaigns by PETA India and work by the Union Minister of Women and Child Development, Maneka Gandhi, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare banned testing cosmetics on animals and even went a step further by also banning the importation of animal-tested cosmetics. There's more: the relevant Bureau of Indian Standards committee removed animal testing from the requirements for household products. However, animal-tested household products are still sold in India, so be sure to check out our list of cruelty-free companies before you shop.
2. Cutting Out Dissection
Animals deserve to be left in peace – not in pieces. Thanks to PETA India, Gandhi and others, the University Grants Commission banned all animal dissection and experimentation (for training purposes) in university and college zoology and life-sciences undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Furthermore, the Pharmacy Council of India banned the use of animals to train students, and the Dental Council of India banned the use of animals for training both undergraduate and postgraduate students.
3. Offering Trauma-Free Training
To show schools how effective non-animal training tools are, PETA India held a national veterinary training workshop for veterinary professors and a medical training workshop for people in the medical field. Nearly 500 teachers from 120 medical schools attended our continuing medical education workshop series, which included lectures and demonstrations of modern, effective and economical humane-education methods that can be used in Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (or "MBBS") curricula.
4. Funding Non-Animal Tests and Submitting Shareholder Resolutions
PETA US have provided more than US$1 million in funding for the advancement of non-animal testing methods and other options to replace animal testing. Another way PETA US help animals in laboratories is through their innovative shareholder campaign. PETA US have filed shareholder resolutions covering many animal-testing issues with dozens of chemical and pharmaceutical companies.
5. Rescuing Animals Sent to Laboratories
Thanks to PETA India and others, 70 beagles who were imported from China by Advinus Therapeutics Ltd, a pharmaceutical laboratory in Bangalore, were rescued and taken to animal-protection groups for adoption.
6. Halting Animal Experiments at the IRIS Science Fair
After speaking with PETA India, the Initiative for Research and Innovation in Science (IRIS) and Intel Technology India Pvt Ltd banned animal experiments from the IRIS National Fair. Now, students can compete compassionately in India's largest student science contest.
7. Holding Free Webinars on Animal-Friendly Testing Methods
In case there is any question as to whether PETA and its affiliates mean business, take a look at the consortium that is working to help implement non-animal testing methods and whose members include PETA and its affiliates. The PETA International Science Consortium, Ltd, and another group called Chemical Watch hold free webinars focusing on non-animal testing methods and strategies. These webinars help industry toxicologists, those registering chemicals for the first time and companies that would like to know more about validated non-animal tests that are available now and how other businesses are using them.
Show your support for animals who are suffering in laboratories by letting the world know that testing on animals is just plain cruel and that you won't be part of it.

A look at the barbaric ways in which minks are killed and skinned at countless fur farms around the world.
All around the world at fur farms like this one, minks – as well as rabbits, foxes and other animals – are crammed into barren cages and have the skin ripped off their bodies, all just to make fur coats, collars and trinkets. Fur farmers use the cheapest killing methods available to them, including suffocation, electrocution, poison and gas. At this farm, minks are picked up by their sensitive tails and shoved into a box to be gassed. One mink in this video – like many animals killed for their fur – doesn't die immediately. The farmer then tried to break his neck against the side of his crude wooden "kill box".
The fur industry would have you believe that fashion justifies such torture, but there's never any excuse for such barbaric treatment of animals. The farmer in this video casually described the techniques for ripping the bloody pelts off minks' bodies, snapping the animals' penis bones and using old pruning shears to cut off their paws.
Do you have friends or family members who still think that fur is in fashion? Remind them that in some countries, even cats and dogs are skinned alive for their fur, which is often then mislabelled and sold to unsuspecting consumers in countries all over the world.
Share this video, and encourage them to choose only animal-friendly clothing.

Clothing company Mimi & Maggie are known for feminine, playful designs and have now added compassion to their list of inspirations, teaming up with PETA for this year's India Kids Fashion Week (IKFW).
Mimi & Maggie dedicated their spring show to PETA's campaign against circus cruelty and pulled out all the stops to make an ethical fashion statement. During their show, a clown took to the stage holding a placard reading, "I Choose to Perform, Animals Don't. Say No to Animal Circuses".
What You Can Do to Help
The best way to put an end to animal circuses is by never patronizing them and by urging the government to ban the use of animals in circuses.

Did you know that just one unsterilised female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 puppies in only six years? In seven years, one female cat and her offspring can produce 370,000 kittens. Sterilisation eliminates the stress and discomfort that females endure during heat periods and greatly reduces the risk of developing mammary cancer. Neutering makes males far less likely to roam or fight.
World Spay Day is 24 February. "Spaying" is the sterilisation of female animals, while "neutering" is the sterilisation of male animals.
The following celebrities are among those who support PETA's campaign to promote the adoption of homeless cats or dogs from the streets or animal shelters, our pro-sterilisation efforts or both:
How can you #StopDogHomelessness? Be like @KapilSharmaK9 who adopted Zanjeer. pic.twitter.com/Y5InqqgDvy

Just found a kitten with the most zen like temperament on the street. Plan to fix her with immediate effect.Please help me find her a home! — Pooja Bhatt (@PoojaB1972) August 1, 2013
Pledge to adopt a homeless dog or cat when you're ready to add an animal companion to your family and never buy them from pet stores or breeders. Visit your local animal shelter if you have the time, space and resources to offer a loving home to a dog or cat, and always make sure you sterilise your cat or dog to help reduce the homeless-animal crisis.

India Kids Fashion Week (IKFW) is a playground of creativity and fun, and this year, there's a bold fashion statement being made – that compassion for animals is always in style. IKFW and PETA launched their joint "Animals Love Kind Kids" campaign at the Mumbai shows on 20 and 21 February 2015, and guests got to scope out the hottest looks in kids' fashion and learn how to be kind to animals.
At PETA's IKFW stall, kids got a cool "Animals Love Kind Kids" hand stamp, signed PETA's "Kind Kids" pledge board with a colourful handprint and personal message and posed with PETA's costumed "elephant", who held a placard reading, "Circuses Are No Fun for Animals". But that's not all: each kid also received a balloon that read, "I Am Kind to Animals", for all to see.
What You Can Do
You can help bring the animal rights message to your child's classroom with PETA's humane-education programme, Compassionate Citizen. Simply e-mail PETA's senior education coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com to get your free copy of the Compassionate Citizen education pack to share with your child's teacher.

During the winter, the cold, dry air takes a toll on my skin and hair, but also on my eyes. They tend to become uncomfortable, dry and irritated this time of year. Indoor heat, which draws all the moisture from the air, is a major culprit; outside, the swirling, biting wind only makes matters worse. Combined with my dust allergies and 10 hours a day in front of a computer, it's enough to drive me to tears—literally!
I've found that the best treatment for my red, itchy eyes is a natural, preservative-free moistener that uses homeopathic herbs. Fortunately for me, Weleda has the most amazing one: Euphrasia 3x Homeopathic Eyedrops, made from organic, wild-crafted eyebright, cultivated in our gardens in Germany. Eyebright (Euphrasia officinalis) is an annual herb containing tannins, bitter agents and flavonoids that's been used in holistic medicine since the 14th century to treat eye troubles. Its natural anti-inflammatory and antiseptic qualities soothe swelling of the tear glands, eyelids and veins. A few drops of Euphrasia 3x is all it takes to relieve dryness, itchiness and redness. My eyes feel refreshed, healthy and comfortable almost immediately.
Unlike most over-the-counter eye drops, Euphrasia 3x does not contain chemical preservatives—all-natural eyebright makes up 99 percent of the formula! That means our drops won't disrupt your eye's natural functions or cause the surface of the eye to dry over time, requiring more and more drops. What's more, preservatives don't prevent contaminants and bacteria from attaching to the applicator, a common source of infection. So we package our Euphrasia 3x in safe, single-use doses that help prevent any exposure to bacteria. Another bonus: the portable packaging is great for busy people who are always on the go. Keep a few doses in your handbag or gym bag, desk drawer or glove compartment, and you'll always be ready to see the world with clear, bright eyes.
For more on our Euphrasia 3x Homeopathic Eyedrops, watch our video "How Weleda's Euphrasia Eyedrops Come to Life" on YouTube. Just click here.

I purchased this cold cream as I get severe dry skin in the winter. No 'moisturizing oil, lotion, or cleanser' was potent enough to help my dry skin. Until I found this!!! Seriously tried all natural products/ brands under the sun- including josie maran, tarte, glamglow, first aid beauty, boscia, julique, nude. Literally you name it- I've tried it. This is the best thing you can apply for dry winter skin- I even use it for my hands. Thanks for making a product that does what it claims! I can now stop shopping around for a cure.
I got a sample of Weleda..I used it on my eczema and it worked and soothed immediately. I will never use anything else on my skin..I have since bought several bottles of Weleda..It's a miracle product!
I am not and do not have a baby, lol but I do have sensitive skin! I saw it in whole foods and it was fragrance free and made for sensitive skin so I picked it up! I love it! It doesn't break me out yet it is hydrating and feels amazing on skin. I wake up and my skin feels so soft but not oily. Also the purple packaging is really pretty! This is only 14$ where I live and a tube lasts me like 3 months! I would totally reccomend it. I have skin that is prone to small breakouts but nothing major. I also love the refining toner btw!

Treating skin like an Impressionist canvas
- Published: 28 Jan 2014 at 00.00 | Viewed: 615 | Comments: 0
- Newspaper section: Life
The light-reflecting make-up trend expected to be popular for the spring/summer season works well for those who have an even complexion. But if you weren't blessed with perfect skin, how can you create an impeccable canvas?
Dior's new approach is to use a post-serum developed based on an understanding of the skin's optical power. According to the French brand, the skin is an ideal optical structure for the treatment and diffusion of light, with the power to unify colours in order to reveal a perfect and even complexion on its surface.
The latest addition to the Capture Totale line, a post-serum called Dream Skin, is applied as the last step of the skincare routine before putting on foundation.

HEY WE'RE MAKING A MOVIE! We've actually been shooting this past year and ARE GOING INTO POST PRODUCTION --- AND WE NEED YOUR HELP! Currently, we need to raise $15,000 to cover post-production costs, so we can submit the film ASAP to Festivals. But don't feel limited to $15,000 -- we can always use more for promotion of the movie... the more funds we have, the more festivals we can submit to!
Watch the video below for a little more about how "Ron and Laura" came to be... THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Janice & Mel
Ron and Laura Grawsill, a conservative suburban couple from Bakersfield California, decide to star in their own reality show about their activism! After seeing 24-hour cable news coverage of a national health food controversy, Ron and Laura join the movement to take their country back from the Euro Union Conspiracy! But, when they run into their son Brian with a mysterious new friend at a demonstration, the culture wars land right in their own backyard!
MEL ENGLAND has acted in Film, Television and Theatre over a lifetime across the US, and has starred in several feature films, Including LITTLE BIG TOP, opposite SID HAIG, Mr. Ghoulden in the dark comedy PERSONA AU GRATIN, and more recently, as a Minister confronted with a crisis of faith at the funeral of his father in HIGHLIGHTS, nominated for Best Drama in the Moviefone Short Film Festival. England recently signed to co-star in LOVE ANONYMOUS with Academy Award Best Actress Nominee and Golden Globe Winner Sally Kirkland.
On stage, England has appeared Off Broadway and across the US and Europe.

2004 Mitsubishi Montero Sport Problems
The crankshaft pulley bolt may become loose or break causing loss of power steering operation and other related engine accessories. Some of these vehicles may be involved in a recall for this issue. Our technicians tell us that an updated bolt may be available. Replacing as necessary and properly torquing the crankshaft bolt will commonly correct this issue.
A vibration, steering wheel shimmy, or vehicle pull to the left or right may be noted. These conditions are commonly caused by worn or damaged front suspension or steering components. Our technicians tell us that extra care should be taken to inspect the front end components often and replace any worn or damaged parts as soon as possible to try and avoid these potentially unsafe conditions.
A pulsation may be noted upon brake apply, most commonly caused by warped front brake rotors. Front brake pads may also wear out prematurely. Our technicians recommend replacing worn pads and rotors with quality replacement parts in order to achieve the best possible longevity for the front brake components.

In her first public address before solution providers, Whitman acknowledged that partners have been through a lot but said she's going to make it up to them by steering HP back in a drama-free direction. "I want to be a steady hand on the tiller for this company," she told partners. "We're going to return to being the reliable, trusted partner you can count on to build your business." Whitman also pledged to build a single HP culture, a notion that has proved elusive for HP but she said will be evident in the next six to 12 months. "I promise you, we will not let you down."

Stromness Museum
Stromness Museum
52 Alfred Street
Orkney Islands
01856 850025
Stromness Museum was founded in 1837 with the creation of the Orkney Natural History Society. The building dates from 1858. It has recently undergone major restoration, but still retains its Victorian atmosphere.
The lower gallery is full of exhibits relating to the local fishing industry, relics of the German High Seas Fleet (famously scuttled in nearby Scapa Flow in 1919) and numerous items relating to the "Nor' Wast" - the 19th century links between Orkney and Canada, involving the Hudson's Bay Company.
Particularly interesting is material concerning Orcadian Arctic explorer John Rae - who was the first European to learn, from Inuit hunters, the fate of the Franklin Expedition to the North-West passage in 1845.
The recently refurbished upper gallery displays the Society's fine collection of Orkney bird specimens along with displays of marine life and local fossils.
The Pilot's House next door is an award winning project which houses Inuit, whaling and maritime exhibits, as well as a reconstruction of the pilot's own living room. The pilots were local sailors who sailed out to the big ships visiting the port, to conduct the ships into port safely.

Comments about Mens Nike Zoom Elite+ 6 Running Shoe:
The Nike Zoom Elite+6 was the shoe for me. I was running in Asics for several shoe cycles and decided I needed something different to help my sore knees and hips. As soon as I started running in the Zoom Elites my soreness disappeared and running was way more fun. I've put some good ten milers on these shoes and feel fresh the next day. The shoes are light, well cushioned, and flashy.

Comments about Mens Nike Zoom Matumbo 2 Track and Field Shoe:
I bought the Zoom Matumbo 2 for my 10k track races at school. I find them to have added cushion and comfort over some other track shoes, which makes them easier to train in day after day. Definitely a good shoe for the 5-10k runner.

Written and directed by New Zealand filmmaker Aidee Walker, Friday Tigers was the People's Choice and runner-up in the 8th FILMSshort competition. The talented Walker also stars as the single mother trying to combine motherhood with a university degree and a blossoming romance with a fellow student, while also dealing with a complicated and unhappy past. Superbly acted by all, including the young Anysia Davies, it is a subtle, beautifully rendered drama with a dash of animation.
Written and directed by Chris Keller, Valse was judged the overall winner in the competition, nudging drama Friday Tigers into second place. Valse is an unusual love story starring two snails. Can these romantic molluscs find love in our human dominated world? Keller, a compositor at a leading VFX companies, also photographed the film, while the all important music was composed by Alex Wallace.
Celebrating Valentine's Day, Rare Books and Manuscripts is an almost completely dialogue-free romantic comedy from director Bruce Webb. It tells the story of the lonely Jess (Neve McIntosh), who falls in love with a gorgeous gent in the reading room of the British Library. Too shy to speak to him, she starts sending him books with titles that express her feelings. Will her devious plan work in wooing the man of her dreams or is there a twist in this tale?

Now called The National World War Two Museum, this New Orleans-based museum tells the story of what it takes to transform a nation of people into a nation of warriors. Opened in 2000, the museum talks about war in human terms and celebrates the American spirit through the personal stories and artifacts of the American men and women who sacrificed and prevailed in an epic struggle against tyranny. One of the museums' many moving belongings is a soldier's Christmas letter to "my dear little boys," a father struggles to explain war to his young children.

Went there last spring break. Absolutely loved it. I've been reading and learning about WWII since I could read but the museum truly made me see what they suffered through. Moving place, they were adding another building and I think they were gonna put a B-17 in it I think, they were also restoring a PT boat
