The Best Rental Cottage!
February 19, 2015
It has taken me way too long to write this review but let me tell you that the cottage is a fantastic rental! Love the windows and almost everything about it. Great kitchen, cottage fully stocked with linens, paper products, soap, etc. Owner is so helpful even though he is not in town. We had problems with the wireless for the internet and Mike spent lots of time getting immediate service from the cable/satellite (can't remember which it is) company. Wish I could get such immediate service from our cable co.! The cottage is stocked with a great music collection, puzzles, games, books, etc. Down the road is a great seafood market where we went daily for lobsters, clams, fish...fresh, fresh, fresh. There is a great farmers market in Boothbay on Thursdays. We ate out once a day and cooked the rest of the time. Super, super, super place to stay. My only problem is that the walk to the water is a bit dicey for me with my back problems. If I could pick up the cottage and put it down on the water's edge, I'd be begging to buy it from Mike! Hope to stay again!

David Ettenberg, owner of Camp Shane, the longest-running teen weight loss camp in the country, points out how how fantasy and reality don't always mesh in how "fat camps" (and the overweight teenage campers who attend them) are depicted on ABC Family's new show "Huge".
New York, NY (PRWEB) July 4, 2010 -- If it weren't for a bit of fantasy, our lives would be mighty dull and TV producers know that better than most. So while ABC Family's new show, "Huge", about teenagers' experience at "fat camp" is a hit, the founder of Camp Shane, the longest-running weight loss camp for teenagers in the country, wants to point out--especially to overweight teens--that poetic license has been liberally used: The real weight loss camp, Camp Shane, is nothing like Camp Victory portrayed in "Huge".
"Nikki Blonsky is a very talented actress and her characterization as 'Will', the overweight heroine of the show, is an excellent look at a troubled teen, but the resemblance to the campers' reality stops there," points out David Ettenberg, Founder of Camp Shane, a weight loss camp that has been helping teens lose weight for 42 years.
"What struck me most is the lack of empathy the girls in the show have for each other," says Ettenberg. "At Camp Shane, there is such camaraderie and everyone pulling for everyone else. The support the kids give each other is really heartfelt and makes the whole experience much more positive than what is depicted. No camper would try to humiliate another camper--these kids suffer enough humiliation in their daily lives. Here everyone is encouraging everyone else."
As for the boot camp atmosphere portrayed by a super-fit, wild-eyed instructor in "Huge", Ettenberg has this to say,"It's true nobody spends their time sitting on their bunks at Camp Shane. Here is the place t

Will You Really Realize Energy Savings?
Heat integration may deliver complications instead of expected benefits.
With regulatory changes for reducing carbon dioxide emissions likely coming into force, many plants will revisit energy integration to reduce net heat use. One oft-mentioned idea is to add inter-reboilers to towers. This allows for using lower-temperature heat sources to provide part of the duty to the tower. The objective is to usefully recover lower-temperature heat instead of rejecting it to air or water.
Figure 1 shows a product splitter with two inter-reboilers added. The first (E32AB) used two small exchangers with the plant's low-pressure steam — which otherwise would be vented — to provide heat to the tower. This reduced hot-oil duty demand by 3.5 million Btu/hr. The inter-reboiler worked well.
Because the first heat-integration step succeeded, the plant added a second inter-reboiler (E33) heat integrated with the bottoms stream. When attempting to start up the new exchanger, nothing happened.
Plant operations staff puzzled over this for a while but never resolved the problem before other demands took priority. The unit was allowed to sit with the exchanger piped up but not operating. After some months the curious failure of E33 to work was nearly forgotten.
With E33 working, staff made a second curious observation — the net hot-oil duty required in E24AB had barely changed. Reduction in required duty was so small that it was nearly impossible to detect.
So now we have two mysteries: Why did E33 not work but then suddenly work? And why was no net duty saved?
To grapple with the first question, let's more closely look at Figure 1. Notice that the E33 outlet nozzle on the return stream to the tower is 32 ft below the tower return nozzle. If at startup (or any other time) the return line to T07 is full of liquid, how does this impact the liquid in the tower side of E33? The 32 ft of liquid gives a static head of 7 psi. The higher pressure raises the bubble-point temperature of the liquid by 40°F. However, bottoms temperature is only 30°F higher than tray 50 temperature. So, the static head in the lines down to E33 prevents vaporization on the tower side of the system.
Sudden pressure drop induced by the rain storm lowered operating pressure below bubble-point pressure of the liquid in E33. Once some vaporization started, density in the return lines fell, reducing static head to E33. Thus, E33 will work once it's been started. It just needs help starting up.
Some plants do start up inter-reboilers by suddenly dropping tower pressure. Other, more controllable alternatives, use either a temporary inert gas injection into the return line or take some distillate product that vaporizes easily to start the liquid circulating in the side reboiler (see Figure 2).

Publisher's Description
The youth edition contains a combination of eight stories of youth adventures, as well as eight from the adult version. Both books are perfect for small group use and include study questions with each chapter.
Author Bio
James Lund is an award-winning author. He is the coauthor of A Dangerous Faith. Three of Jim's projects won the ECPA Gold Medallion award while he was an editor and writer at Multnomah Publishers. Jim made extensive writing contributions to books such as James and Shirley Dobson's Night Light and Night Light for Parents and Randy Alcorn's The Treasure Principle. He and his family live in Oregon.
Danger Calling has two main points: first, to make readers realize that danger is a part of life, so having basic survival skills is vital; second, to recognize that danger has a way of making people listen to God. The book consists of sixteen stories with questions. Jackson is a regular adventurer and outdoorsman and Lund is an award winning writer, which provides the best of both worlds when it comes to this book.
The biblical undercurrent of this books messages is to be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you (Deut. 31:6). Danger is part of life; we never know when we will be in a situation wherein we might die. But God is with us no matter how bad things might seem, and he will give us the confidence to do whatever is necessary to survive.
Danger Calling a great book for personal use or group devotional time. The book is strong in all areas and flows nicely. I see ages 12 and older benefiting from this book, so I strongly recommend it. Isaac Hamlin, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com

Today was the opening of the AWHONN Annual Convention. This is my first time at AWHONN, so I am curious about how they do things. So far I have found the conversations easier to start than at the ICM Congress — but remember, these are all American Nurses so we have a commonality in training, […]

Gearing up for Conference Season
Spring is conference season for me, and every year I have to make decisions about which conferences I will attend. How do I make those decisions? I rank them on their ability to meet my priorities. When I first started working in the world of birth, conferences were about learning as much as possible. Attending […]

Networking Mistakes at Midwifery Conferences
Remember I told you there were a few things that were not on the list of networking basics. Here they are, and the reasons why I don't consider them necessary. Adding everyone you meet to Facebook (or other social marketing tool) As I've said, I'm more of an introvert to begin with. But even if […]

Networking at Midwifery Conferences
I will be the first to admit that outgoing and extrovert are not words anyone might use to describe me. Even so, there are times when I need to find the energy to connect with more people, have more conversations and invite strangers to lunch. Midwifery Conferences are one of those times. It isn't that […]

Food Allergies
I went to a conference recently because I wanted to attend the session on food allergies. I like conferences, but sometimes they can be too similar to school. This one was no exception, but the review was good. Anyway, what I wanted to share was some amazing advice from the physician who shared about allergies. […]

No Subject GivenIt'll probably sell big initially, there's always a few sheep who jump at this sort of thing...I mean look at the AOL PCs and stuff.
But overall, I HOPE and PRAY this will fail. Laptops are already the most locked in computers. They have minimal upgrade options (other than simply buying a new one for a huge price)..you can't usually upgrade most of the hardware on it. I had THOUGHT this was changing slowly (some can have chip upgrades now, RAM is becoming MORE standardized for them, some have graphic chip upgrades etc..) but this would only backslide into a blackbox type machine again.
I love laptops, I'll never go back...I splurged last year on a laptop that beat my (then) top of the line desktop hands down...but I dream of a day when laptops are as upgradable as desktops.

Not TOTALLY locked in
The Sony Vaio T350 does have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth as well, so it's not like it's EDGE or nothing with this laptop. I would actually find such a laptop fairly useful, since I could use Wi-Fi in my house and certain locations, then use the EDGE when I'm out of range.
Of course, it would be much more useful with EVDO or HSDPA, and I wouldn't want to spend $80/mo. for a mere 100-200Kbps connection, but I don't think this idea is as terrible as you make it out to be.

When her disastrous marriage ends in the most humiliating way, Meg Hanson doesn't know what to do or who to turn to. Unhappy with her life as it was and unwilling to become what her mother and sister envision, she retreats to the little Appalachian town of Prestons Mill, the place where her father was raised. Meg has promised herself six months away from the influences of home to find out who she is and what she really wants out of life.
Her Great Aunt Annie doesn't hold with such nonsense, but she does believe that good food, hard work and fresh country air have the power to heal the soul and she sees in Meg a soul that belongs to the mountain.
Coming from wealth and privilege, Meg isn't sure at first what to make of a place where much of your wardrobe comes from Gorton's Farm Supply and the only coffee available is what's brewed at the Downtown Café. However, it doesn't take long for her to become attached to the people of Prestons Mill with their blunt honesty and strange speech or to reluctantly fall for the boy who kissed her under the apple tree when she was only ten. He's grown into an intriguing man with problems of his own.
Artist JT Preston is burdened with his family's past sins, sins that prevent him from seeking the life he's always envied and longed for. Annie thinks this is nonsense, too, and sets about bringing Meg and JT together.
When a coal company makes plans to begin mining the mountain, Meg finds herself in the middle of the battle between those who consider it progress and those who see it as the end of a way of life. Greed rears its head, people are hurt and lives are endangered, Meg's most of all.
It takes an old fashioned cliff hanger to make two otherwise sensible people realize that the past can be buried and their love for each other can create a new future for Meg and JT and the people of Prestons Mill.

I had an e-mail exchange with him a year or so ago so he does (I hope) still read mail.Originally Posted by Claire Senft
Honestly, however, I don't think his method is much needed anymore given the developments in colour sensors. With the Lici Colorstar or Jobo Colorline one really can zero in on things and not worry too much about negative material. The reflective densitometer is still important at getting the calibration right--- the auto function is really only usefull at tracking any changes due to chemical exhaustion, termperature changes and other moving paramters--- but its more complicated than using a series of test prints and visual comparison under a norm 5000 light.
I think the main advantage of Bert's system was it de-coupled--- some people seem to have de-coupled their brains in this thread but that's another set of topics--- user judgement (and user error) from the printing process--- no need even for a "perfect" print for calibration or even to know what a "perfect" print looks like (and in the end all prints are "perfect").
His final version.. btw. I think requires a Colorstar or Colorline analyser alongside a good Status-A reflective densitometer.. and (worse of all) Microsoft Windows 2000 or newer..

We had an extraordinarily restful and wonderful stay with Marney during the Valentine's Day weekend. Our room was phenomenally comfortable, gorgeously appointed, and the overall ambience was welcoming and historical. Coming and going, even despite disparate schedules, was made marvelously seamless by Marney's good graces. I would recommend Burbridge Street to anyone visiting Philadelphia. :-)
4.2 on September 11, 2014
The host replied to all my enquires promptly to obtain the room easily. I felt so comfortable, it was quiet and quaint, parking was available but home is close to the local historic sites as well as near the train to get to Philadelphia City Centre. Marney shared her passion & knowledge of this wonderful city. Truly a great 1st visit to Philadelphia!
3.0 on August 14, 2014
My expectations of breakfast at a BandB is hot breakfast. While there was a variety of breads and fruit, yogurt would have been a nice option. Marney is very knowledgable about the area and is devoted to the neighborhood and her house renovations.

My husband and I had a redeye flight from California, so we arrived much earlier than our hostess's normal check-in time. Marney was very accommodating and she had the room ready for us when we arrived. The house is beautiful with many interesting pieces of furniture and art work throughout. Marney spent time with us making us feel welcome and giving us historical information about the area, as well as valuable tourist information. The breakfast provided was delicious and substantial. Having all the guests sit and eat together gave us the opportunity to meet many nice people from all over the world.
Innkeeper Response
I try to be flexible about arrival times, to accommodate the travel schedules of my guests... but it is always important to let me know about arrival times in advance, since only I can open the door for you (my wonderful cats haven't mastered that task yet!). Also, my porch repairs are finally finished (Hooray!), and my place also has new signage identifying the B&B, hanging on the front wall of the house. No more doubts or confusion about whether you've found the right place...
5 on August 03, 2014
The original bed and breakfast my partner and I made reservations at was terrible so we had to turn it down, and we were desperate to find a room for the night. As chance would have it, Marney had just put a room up 3 minutes ago. We reserved the room and headed over, and were instantly greeted by Marney and her two amazing cats. She gave us the room for an amazing price, and we felt right at home. She is a wealth of amazing information, and we felt lucky to have met her. Our room was quiet, clean, and unique. The bathroom, even though it was shared, was spotless. It was a nice place to rest and as newbies to Philadelphia, we are glad we met someone as knowledgeable as Marney. It turned around a potentially disastrous weekend. Not to mention, she is probably one of the coolest women ever. Thank you so much!

A stay at this charming, 100-year old Germantown home is a wonderful experience and great value. It's located on a block-long, one-way street in a quiet neighborhood of similar homes. Local ordinance prohibits signs, so nothing identifies it as a B&B. Owner Marney Hague, who has spent 12 years restoring the home, is putting finishing touches to the porch. Plenty of on-street parking is available. Comfortable but not posh, the home is filled with antique furniture and Marney's collection of paintings and sculpture, creating an early twentieth-century feel. Free Wi-Fi provides a modern touch. In addition, large, completely refurbished bathrooms have separate tubs (with jacuzzi) and ample showers. Bedrooms come with televisions and window air-conditioning units. I had the second-floor Parlor Room, the largest of the bedrooms, with sofa and wide writing desk. Although daytime temperatures reached into the 90s, air-conditioning was not needed for sleeping because the room's large windows allowed excellent cross-ventilation. Marney is a font of information about sightseeing in the Philadelphia area and restaurants within driving distance. She also stocks up on all kinds of maps and brochures. A hot breakfast is not served, but there's several varieties of fresh fruit along with cold cereals, tea, coffee, and an extensive assortment of Amish breads. It's a four-block walk to the Tulpehocken station on the Chestnut Hill West commuter train line. Getting to downtown Philadelphia takes 30 minutes. The senior fare is $1.00. A cautionary note for people with luggage arriving via the commuter train. The first half-block from the station is a fairly steep up-hill climb. After that the ascent becomes more moderate, but in spots over brick sidewalk or cracked pavement. For an elderly person or someone not in good health, the few blocks might be a challenge.
4.2 on May 29, 2014
Disappointed with breakfast. A cooked breakfast would have been better than just fruit and cereal.

We had a lovely stay at Burbridge B&B last weekend. The stately mansion has tons of charm; the owner has clearly put a lot of love and hard work into restoring this home. She served a broad range of Amih country favorites for breakfast along with market fresh fruit, savory breads and an assortment of drinks. It's a quiet and beautiful neighborhood about 15-20 minutes from downtown Philly. For the proximity, charm, warm personal welcome and reasonable rates this B&B is far and above any chain hotel right downtown. My husband and I definitely hope to have to opportunity to stay here again.
3.6 on December 24, 2013
Very nice B&B clean very friendly hostess. Two very nice and friendly cats.
3.4 on December 11, 2013
The Inn Keeper was delightful and if you don't mind the friendly cat coming into your room you should enjoy staying here. just a couple of minor things were off but she seems to be on top of the corrective action. just wish this B&B was closer to downtown which was a 12 minute drive.

Anti-Cheating Site Reveals Data On LGBT Infidelity
Because they believe in equality, the folks behind the adultery-exposing website CheaterVille have decided to allow LGBT cheat-ees to post. And now they have (somewhat specious) data on which LGBT folks are most likely to cheat.
CheaterVille is a place where you can list the name, location, and personal information of people you believe to be philanderers. A sample post titled "Life of lies and cheating" includes this information: "He came home and YES, he started the cheating once again. This time with victim 1's best friend (Kristen) Not pretty and very fat." Now it's not just heterosexual people who have the opportunity to say these kinds of things about their one-time lovers and alleged best friends. CheaterVille CEO founder James McGibney said in a press release, "We launched the LGBT feature a few months ago due to overwhelming requests. We quickly obliged as our website is a firm believer in equal rights and allowing all members of our society to use our site."
They also took this opportunity to do some data collection on the cheating habits of LGBT daters. Some highlights:
• While the overwhelming majority of straight cheaters posted on CheaterVille are women ("This b*tch loves married men"; "Gold digging stupid wh*re"), most LGBT cheaters posted are men who have (allegedly) cheated on men.
• But 19% of LGBT cheaters surveyed were guys who cheated on women with other men — for instance, one poster accuses her (presumably ex) boyfriend of the following: "I WAS LOOKING ON OUR COMPUTER AND FOUND TRANSVESTITE PORN ALSO EMAILS OF HIM SETTING UP DATES WITH OTHER MEN ON CRAIGSLIST TO EXCHANGE SEX HE ALSO HAD PHOTOS OF HIM WEARING MY LINGIRIE YES MY LINGIRIE!!!!!!!"
• Fourteen percent were women who cheated on men with other women.
• The number one city for gay male cheating is New York; the hotspot for lesbian adultery is LA.
• For what it's worth, the average age of LGBT cheaters on CheaterVille is 28, and they tend to be Geminis.
CheaterVille will also apparently be sponsoring a number of pride parades this year. It's nice that everyone now has the chance to take to the internet to complain about "NASTY TRASH" and "Dirty Hairdeser" [sic], no matter their sexual orientation.

500 SF addition in Bay Area
Hi everyone,
My husband and I are looking to add a 500 sq. ft. addition to our one story home in the bay area. The addition will expand a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and dining room. We are not looking to install any cabinets, appliances, etc. We would just like the completed shell including all drywall, plumbing, and electrical so that we can complete the interior work ourselves.
Does anyone know approx. pricing?
You would need to contact local contracters for cost estimates
Prices vary widely by area & based on materials & there isn't any accurate way to give you an estimate

Subscriptions woo fans back from pirated music: Industry
Published on Mar 19, 2014 7:24 AM
LONDON (AFP) - Fans are increasingly willing to pay for digital music through subscription streaming services rather than downloading it illegally for free, according to an upbeat report published on Tuesday.
Revenues from services such as Spotify or Deezer rose 51 per cent in 2013, breaking through the symbolic US$1 billion (S$1.26 billion) barrier for the first time, according to music industry group IFPI's annual digital music report.
More than 28 million people worldwide now pay a regular fee to access a library of online music, up from just eight million in 2010, "many of whom appear to be shifting from pirate services to a licensed music environment", the report said.
Research in Sweden showed nine out of 10 subscription-paying users of Spotify downloaded illegally less often, according to IFPI.

Spanish Word of the Day Archive
Friday October 5, 2012
invierno, noun:
Not most people's favourite season, el invierno, winter, can help make you enjoy the other seasons more.
este invierno
this winter
el invierno pasado
last winter
el próximo invierno
next winter
To beat the winter blues, you might want to take part in:
deportes de invierno
winter sports
Disguised in the word invierno is a link with the English hibernate. Invierno was originally ivierno. If you remember that the letter 'v' sounds like 'b' in Spanish, you can probably begin to see the link. In Latin, 'winter' was tempus hibernum, and from the second word come both the English hibernate and Spanish invierno.

A visit from a distant relative teaches a modern family about old-fashioned values in this family drama. Robert Micelli (Joe Mantegna) and his wife Marie (Anne Archer) are a couple living in Chicago with their two children, 15-year-old… More A visit from a distant relative teaches a modern family about old-fashioned values in this family drama. Robert Micelli (Joe Mantegna) and his wife Marie (Anne Archer) are a couple living in Chicago with their two children, 15-year-old Bobby (Trevor Morgan) and 12-year-old Gina (Gina Mantegna). The Micelli Family is not as close as it once was; Robert is busy with work as he tries to earn a promotion, Marie has given up on cooking as a hobby, Bobby has started a rock & roll band with his friends and prefers to hang out with them, and Gina wants both a puppy and more attention from her dad. One day, Robert's elderly Uncle Nino (Pierrino Mascarino) arrives for a visit from Italy -- much to the surprise of the family, since Gina misplaced the letter Nino sent to announce his impending arrival. It doesn't take long for Nino to see that he's staying with an unhappy family, and he reaches out to them, reintroducing Marie to her love of good food, teaching Bobby about music, and teaching Gina about caring for pets and enjoying life; however, convincing Robert to spend more time with his family and less time worrying about work turns out to be a tough sell. Uncle Nino initially failed to find a distributor until the film's producers booked it into a theater in Grand Rapids, MI, where the film became a surprise hit playing to steady crowds for over a year.

Consensus: Critics say that despite a warm, well-meaning message about the importance of family ties, Uncle Nino is utterly corny and predictable.
A third-rate Robin Williams movie that didn't even have the decency to hire Robin Williams.Full review…

This thread needs more photos...
...and here they are!
I managed to pop in and see my bike at GMX before catching my flight to the USA yesterday...
Dave has done a great job on the centre tank (can you spot it?!), and is working on the two water tanks (1.5l each side) for the bash-plate... they'll be done for when I get back at the end of this month.
I decided to remove the rear Safari tank for a number of reasons - one it got misshapen in the heat, and was a pig to reattach as the mounting holes didn't line up... and also, it was a lump behind the seat I didn't need (although in honesty it wasn't hard to get on and off the bike, and it didn't weigh that much).
However, by removing the rear tank, it means the back of the bike is exactly like the stock enduro now - slim and lightweight (so no extra stress on the lightweight subframe), and easy/quick to flip up should I need access to the rear shock and carb for example.
The void between the twin front tanks was ideal for my 3 litre water and tyre levers/zip-ties etc. in Tunisia... however, as you can see from the photo above, it has also proved large enough to take a 5 litre auxiliary/reserve tank instead (with the water and sundries to be relocated), so I still have the same fuel capacity as I did with the rear tank fitted - result!
GMX have done a fantastic job of making a tank that sits underneath the stock seat base, and the filler is the same as the side tanks (note Dave's attention to detail - the Acerbis logo on the filler is horizontal - he welded the neck to the tank making sure it was! - this is why I love these guys!)
The water tank 'cheeks' will fit either side of the Flatland Racing skid plate, and continue the profile of the tanks downwards...
And the bike is looking very slim and lightweight, with all the fluids 'mass centralised' between the axles, which is exactly what I wanted!
Finally, the bike will have a new front fender fitted - I'm going for one of the KTM Adventure style ones like I have on the Tenere (and that Meca'system use on their rally-bike conversions) as it offers better mud clearance and additional support to the rear of the fender.
I'm also planing a new paintjob/graphics, but that is partially dependent on getting a major sponsor...
Toot toot for now! - I'm off to ride an XT225 Serow around the streets of San Francisco!

It was Vera's job to track patients. "I saw most of the initial injuries," he says, including those of Lori Piestewa, an Army soldier from Tuba City, the first Native-American woman to die in combat while serving in the U.S. military.
He wrote down information about each casualty by hand, because there was no other method; eventually, he built a database.
Vera slept in his gas mask and boots for weeks. He completed two tours in Iraq, leaving the Navy in 2005 and returning home to Phoenix.
It's not a good place to be a veteran, he says.
"Phoenix is a scary place. It's not a military town, and a lot of guys come out here—there aren't a lot of jobs out here. It's warm, but Phoenix and Arizona, there isn't a structure for these guys, for young veterans to be caught and effectively spoken to and get help. And I guess for a lot of young guys, they're not going to get help."
Vera did—eventually.
At first, he didn't know he needed it. Family and friends pointed out his behavior: Vera was drinking heavily. He switched jobs often and found himself in confrontations with co-workers. He couldn't communicate; he wasn't socializing.
He approached Senator John McCain's local office for help, with no luck.
Vera is careful not to bash his fellow vet—at least, not too much.
"John McCain, his staff has really tried to be a source of information and a source of assistance, but I think that, over the past five or six years, his office has become overwhelmed," he says. "There's a case overload. Clearly, running for president is what his priority is now."
So Vera went to Congressman Ed Pastor's office, instead. (He'd worked for Pastor, a Democrat, previously, doing constituent services.) And although Vera's a smart, well-connected guy, it still took him 10 months to qualify for benefits from the Veterans Administration, which diagnosed him with a full-blown case of post-traumatic stress disorder.
"In the military, they tell you what to do and they give you the services because they want a fit force," Vera says.
Once he got home, he adds, things changed. He's now a member of Vote Vets.
Things changed drastically for Brian Callan when he came home, too.
Callan, a veteran of the first Gulf War, was shot by police in the parking lot of a Toyota dealership in Phoenix in 2001. It was obviously a suicide; Callan egged on the cops.
He had been diagnosed with a severe case of post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, and his family felt strongly that he didn't get adequate services from the VA; an examination by the Voice's sister paper, Phoenix New Times, of medical records and a comparison to recommended treatment protocol confirmed that.
Callan's mother, Jerri Glover, who now lives in New Mexico, recalls that Brian was a big fan of John McCain. He wrote the senator letters on random topics such as the collapse of Enron. Two months after his death, Glover approached the senator's local Veterans Affairs staffer, Tom McCanna, and asked him to help her get the information she needed to file a tort claim against the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Phoenix. The family felt strongly that poor medical treatment led to Callan's behavior and ultimate death.
She still has a copy of the typewritten letter she sent to McCanna, dated November 14, 2002. After she didn't hear from McCain's office, she put a sticky note on the letter: "McCanna never followed thru—did not receive forms."
The mother tried the local Veterans Administration office, with no luck. Finally, a friend of Brian's spent hours on the Internet and found the forms. The claim was denied.
Glover was disappointed, and not, she says, because she wanted the money for herself.
"I really wanted to sue the shit out of the government and then start up a clinic to help the PTSD vets," Glover says. "That was my whole idea. I did not want other guys to suffer like Brian did, in not getting any help."
She's quick to add that later, when she couldn't get the Navy to release Callan's medical records, McCain's office finally expedited the request. But what the Navy finally sent was a mess, with pages missing and out of order, barely usable.
"When I received them, it was a farce."
"They can spend a billion a week on a war, but they can't spend whatever it takes to heal the [people] they've ruined?" Glover says.
"It just makes you lose faith," she adds. "I just thought that his office would help represent his constituent who was so loyal to McCain. And to his country."
John McCain's treatment of his constituents is best described as benign neglect. For years, many Arizonans have referred to their senior senator as "the senator from Washington, D.C." He's more interested in the national platform than the home trenches.
But it's on the national stage where McCain's performance on behalf of veterans has been the most disappointing to his fellow veterans.
Since 1987, McCain has voted against dozens of measures designed to assist veterans. Most recently, he skipped the vote on the Webb-Hagel 21st Century GI Bill, which funds higher education for post-9/11 veterans, with a sliding payment scale depending on length of duty and disabilities sustained.

Buena Vista Lagoon reeds burn
"It's good that it's winter because most of the birds aren't breeding and most of the resident wildlife have migrated further south but there's still some that stay," said state Department of Fish and Game Warden Grant Oggel.
Smirl said some ground-nesting birds -- such as the California clapper rail -- can't easily escape the flames or firefighting activity by flying away, but have to walk from the scene. He said Coast Highway between Vista Way and State Street was closed from about 3 to 6 p.m. so birds attempting to escape by running across the road would not be killed.
When the fire was out, Oggel said firefighters and wildlife wardens would conduct an arson investigation and check for any injured wildlife or people, such as transients who sometimes camp on dry fingers of land in the lagoon.
Vista firefighters were also sent to man a decontamination unit to clean off the firefighters who went into the lagoon in boats, Oceanside fire Battalion Chief Ken Matsumoto said.
No one at the scene could remember when the last significant fire had burned in the lagoon, but a state Fish and Wildlife official said the height of the reeds indicated it must have been a long time ago.

Broncos, DeMarcus Ware agree to deal
Thursday - 3/13/2014, 1:00pm EDT
AP Sports Writer
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- DeMarcus Ware boarded the plane for Denver on Wednesday morning, looked in the row across from him and saw a sleeping Aqib Talib.
Yep, the Broncos mean business.
Before Ware even had a chance to sit down with Broncos boss John Elway, he saw exactly how serious the team was about fixing its defense.
Ware became Denver's latest defensive addition in free agency, agreeing to a three-year, $30 million deal. That's $110 million -- $60 million guaranteed -- for Ware, safety T.J. Ward and Talib, the last two of whom signed Tuesday.
"They're trying to make a statement -- a statement we're a team to be reckoned with," the 31-year-old Ware said. "Their mentality is a 'now' mentality. Not looking forward to next season or the season after that, the time is now."
Out of work less than 24 hours, Ware wasn't fully intending to agree to a deal right away with Denver when he flew into town. But he was persuaded by Elway, the Hall of Fame quarterback turned executive who stressed to Ware the Broncos' commitment to defense even with a prolific offense led by Peyton Manning.
Elway got his man -- again. He did so two years ago with Manning and last offseason with Wes Welker.
It's really no surprise the Broncos are concentrating on defense in the wake of a 43-8 loss to Seattle in the Super Bowl last month. Ward thinks the trio of new players brings not only leadership but a level of physicality to the field. Denver's defense surrendered nearly 25 points a game last season, which was 22nd in the league.
"I think you see with Seattle's defense last year -- definitely defense wins championships," Ward said. "(Ware and Talib) are two great players. I'm eager to get to work with them. I don't know them personally yet, but I know what they do on the field. Those are two players I admire. I think we'll work well together."
Talib flew in from Dallas on the same flight as Ware, not even realizing it until halfway through the trip. He was ecstatic to later hear that Elway enticed Ware to join the Broncos.
"Every year you just want to better your team," Talib said. "Mr. Elway decided to better his team on defense this year, since the offense looks pretty good."
Ware was let go Tuesday by Dallas in a salary-cap move. He had a franchise-record 117 sacks for the Cowboys since being drafted in the first round in 2005. He had a career-low six sacks last season and missed games for the first time in his career because of a thigh injury. He underwent offseason surgery to fix his elbow.
Now that Ware's fully healthy again, he's "going to be able to get after the passer," Elway said.
No doubt, especially playing opposite Von Miller. This was a rough season for Miller, beginning with a six-game drug suspension and ending with a torn ACL on Dec. 22.
Ware said he has a good relationship with Miller and hopes to get the 2011 rookie of the year back on track by serving as a mentor.
"Von is one of those incredible athletes," Ware said. "If you can really hone in on what you do best, and make yourself not think as much when you're out there, he'll be an even better athlete."
Talib said there's no bad blood between him and the Broncos after he tweaked his knee early in the AFC championship game against Denver when he was bumped by Welker on a crossing route.
Maybe at first, but not anymore. Not after watching the replay "1,000 times."
"Wes is a good friend of mine," Talib said. "I can tell you he didn't do it on purpose."
Talib appreciated Patriots coach Bill Belichick sticking up for him after the game. Belichick called it "one of the worst plays" he'd seen in nearly four decades of coaching. The league's officiating chief later ruled it a legal hit by Welker.
"I told (Belichick) thank you and I respected what he did," Talib said.
As for Talib's balky hip, well, that's not an issue. Hasn't been since his days with Tampa Bay.
"The Patriots have their way of reporting stuff," Talib said. "The injury I had was actually a quad injury, reported as a hip injury. That's how they do things."
Talib said he received some interest from Washington, New Orleans, San Francisco and, of course, New England, but liked the fit with the Broncos.
"I think we all are guys who play with attitude on the field," Talib said.
Ware couldn't agree more, especially with the Super Bowl loss being a motivator.
"They're saying, 'We're going to act right now and not let that happen again,'" Ware said.

In a recent article in the Vancouver Sun the IRS Criminal Investigation Division made its intention to prosecute owners and operators of online poker site clear.
"IRS Criminal Investigation will vigorously investigate and recommend prosecution against the owners and operators of these illegal enterprises to the fullest extent possible," said Internal Revenue Service special agent in charge Rebecca Sparkman."
This statement would seem to imply that there are others beyond those individuals already indicted who will face prosecution. There may be many more who face charges once the records of the sites are obtained or names and roles revealed as part of pleas. There may be others in addition to owners and operators that may face justice, like players, and those who had supporting roles.
