BOSTON -- It's been a trying first month of the 2013-14 season for Zdeno Chara.
He's been a little more mortal than usual in the defensive zone, and he appears to still be fighting some early season sluggishness following last year's deep run into the playoffs.
Despite Saturday night's strong game, Chara still has that unsightly minus-1 rating next to his name.
But the Bruins captain is still a game-changing force for good in the majority of games for the Black and Gold, and he was exactly that in the Bruins' 3-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs at TD Garden on Saturday.
Chara topped all skaters with 28:04 of ice time, snapped home a first period power-play goal and played a key role in a Bruins penalty kill that successfully strangled the life out of Toronto's best offensive players. Coming off a win over the Florida Panthers where Chara was also solid, B's head coach Claude Julien is beginning to see the pilot being lit for his 36-year-old defenseman intimidator.
"I told him, even last game, that I thought he was really good in the penalty kill," Julien said. "We wanted our left D to really stand up in the neutral zone, and he did the best job by far and really took away what we call the slash play – where the guy cuts through the middle, gets a pass and carries it with speed -- so he was able to slow him down that way last game. He did a great job of standing him up, he did a great job at getting pucks down the other end and he did that again tonight. He won battles and when he got the puck, the pucks were shot all the way down the other end. He's good there.
"Obviously, the power play continues. To me he's always been good, but he continues to be good on the power play in front where he takes a lot of space and he keeps a lot of the other team's guys busy. When he's around the net, he's getting more and more comfortable at either screening or opening up to get into position to either tip or shoot a puck in. I thought he was a really good player or us tonight, which is one of the players that was probably a game changer."
Penalties in the third period to David Krejci and Carl Soderberg while the Bruins were holding a slim one-goal lead really tested Boston's penalty-kill unit, and it appeared Chara had plenty of gas in the tank to make sure those Toronto PP chances didn't go anywhere.
"We were really desperate to kill that [last] one," Chara said. "It's a few minutes left in the game, and [there was a] possibility of them pulling the goalie, making it six on four. But I don't think they would do that until they get set up with whatever they wanted to set up in the zone in full position of the puck.
"But just because we were aggressive and jumping on those pucks, they were not able to get that zone and establish that puck possession. It's something that we talked about, and before the kill when they took the timeout that we have to be aggressive. We cannot just sit back leisurely. Things don't go your way if you just wait and give the other team time [to score."
Clearly the 98.5 the Sports Hub radio team thought so as well, awarding Chara with the No. 1 Star in victory while leaving Patrice Bergeron off the list despite scoring two of Boston's three goals in the win over Toronto. Now it will be up to Chara to sustain it Monday against the Tampa Bay Lightning, which has been a challenge this season when the 6-foot-9 captain empties the tank with a big chunk of ice time for a Bruins team that badly needs him.

Why would you buy something before checking out the program first?... That's the definition of being scammed to me..
The product may be perfectly legitimate and most links I found indicate such but why pay for the headache?
Although I've never used the product, here are some links to reviews of the product:
(See the bottom for reviews at the link above.)
Hope this helps.
Ok, I have been getting barraged by phone calls from examforce.com to buy their software to study for tech certification. I finally gave in and purchased their network + certification software for 85 bucks. Has anyone dealt with this company before? The price was attractive and I figured what the hell. I did do a google search and couldn't come up with some definite information as to whether or not this is a scam or not. I'm goign to give it a shot and see how it goes but I was wondering if any of you have dealt with this company before? The website is www.examforce.com. Mucho thanks!

It's not terrible but every once in a while if you're patient and shop around, you'll see online dealers selling 4 packs for $29.99 to $39.99. I don't think I've ever paid more than $12
April 15, 2006, 08:03 PM
sounds about the price of an AR mag not AK....go online if you want to get the BEST deal, or if your like me go into the shop and support gunshops for a few extra bucks, I think there well spent :D
April 15, 2006, 08:36 PM
super cheap
April 16, 2006, 03:38 AM
it is not a great deal, but if they are the E german mags with the rib down the back, that would be ok.
April 16, 2006, 12:26 PM
i got 40rd mags from natchezss.com for $16.95 each. they are excellent!
April 16, 2006, 05:18 PM
...on what kind of mag it is. For a Bulgy steel one (new, unissued) , I wouldn't have a problem spending $ 15 - its not a total ripoff, if you skip the Internet S&H.
Seems a bit pricey for some mags, particulary used ones.
April 16, 2006, 05:31 PM
Depends on supply and demand and what youre looking for. I got most of my 40 rounders (ruskie steel) for 9 each like 2 years ago. I got a few more 40 rders (bulgarian waffles) for 29 each half a year ago.
April 16, 2006, 05:55 PM
I think I have seen new for $10 and used for $8, but I don't remember what country they came from. Shipping is on top of that though. $15 is not too bad at all if you like the dealer. You don't have to wait for them either.
April 17, 2006, 10:11 AM
I believe they are the kind with the rib down the side. I like to support Shannocks than Walmart if I can.
April 17, 2006, 01:12 PM
Its not a good price for 30 rders.I paid between $1-5 for my Chicom mags.Centerfire sytems has 4 for $30 with a mag pouch.
I bought some 40rders for $10 a while back.Consider buying used so long as they are not excessivly worn dented or rusted.
April 17, 2006, 03:34 PM
Steelcore, have you seen those $5 prices lately?
I bought 4 for $30 last fall, but they were well used east german mags. They work, but they are definitely used. Lately, 4 for $40 is the best I have seen in a package. I think Tapco had the $8 used mags a could months ago.

April 17, 2006, 06:23 PM
*edit* hit the wrong button.
April 18, 2006, 03:27 PM
I got mine for $6 each.
April 18, 2006, 04:01 PM
Just bought 3 excellent condition used E. German mags for $10 each.
I've also bought the Centerfire package and some were excellent and some had minor rust.
April 18, 2006, 06:28 PM
Crosshair, when and where?
My Dad bought a bunch of GI surplus M14 mags for $1 each. However, that was 30 years ago and, while interesting, is not really very useful information right now. :)
April 18, 2006, 06:36 PM
$15 is not a bad in-store price for AK mags. You can get them cheaper online, but be sure to factor in shipping costs, plus you have to wait to get them. If i needed a magazine and didnt want to wait for it I would be hapy to pay $15 for a couple from a shop. If your gonna stock up on a bunch of them I would find a better deal online though.
April 19, 2006, 12:00 AM
I bought them from a fellow THR member awhile ago who had sold his AK and wanted to get rid of the magazines. Not sure what country they came from, but they are all reliable. Ran one mag over with my car for the hell of it. (I was with a few friends and they dared me to do it.:rolleyes: ) The mag came out with only a few scratches on it. That's what I call durable.:cool:
April 19, 2006, 12:43 AM
Check out the 5 for $54 (shipping included) deal on the Odds n Ends page (http://www.dansammo.com/odds.asp) at dansammo.com. I just got some of these and they are NIC (new in cosmoline :) ).

A Guide to Country Bedding
What do we mean by "country" bedding? Country bedding is simply a style of bed linen that is designed to accent traditional country or rustic style decor. The look is casual, comfortable, nostalgic and simple. Never fussy or pretentious. The style can range from romantic country cottage floral designs to masculine western looks. If you would like to learn more about country style bedding and how to use it in your home, read on! We've complied a list of commonly used terms and some helpful decorating hints and tidbits thrown in along the way.
Elements of Country Bedding
What is a quilt?
a quilt is a traditional bed covering with 3 layers- a decorative top layer; a backing; and some kind of batting sandwiched between the two. The top can consist of one piece of fabric (a whole cloth quilt), or it can consist of many different fabrics sewn together in a multitude of different patterns (a patchwork quilt.) The actual "quilting" refers to the stitches that bind all three layers together. The quilting part can be done by hand or by machine. The inner layer is generally cotton or polyester. Better quilts will use cotton fill and more quilting stitches per inch.
What is a comforter ?
a comforter is a modern bedding invention also made of three layers. It's similar to a quilt, but thicker and more fluffy. Comforters are typically filled with synthetic fibers or down. The outer shell can be made from most any fabric- cotton, linen, suede, etc.
What is a duvet ?
(Also known as a duvet cover or a comforter cover.) This is simply a decorative fabric envelope used to cover a comforter. Duvet covers keep your comforter clean and allow you to change your decor easily. Duvet covers generally have buttons or zippers for closure around the comforter.
What is a bedspread ?
The bedspread is another traditional bedding item that is really making a come-back. Bedspreads are the thinner, one-sided numbers that were once popular in hotels and motels across the land. They drape gracefully to the floor and have rounded edges at the foot of the bed to create even more drama. Bedspreads tuck around pillows at the top of the bed making pillow shams unnecessary.
What is a coverlet ?
A coverlet is a looser term that can be used to describe most any top-of-the-bed treatment that is not a quilt, comforter or bedspread. A coverlet generally covers part of the bed, meaning it does not extend to the floor. A coverlet can be functional or merely decorative.
What is a pillow sham ?
A pillow sham is the decorative covering that is used on top of a bed pillow. Generally, pillows that are used for sleeping do not wear pillow shams. Shams are purely decorative items that can be filled with inexpensive filler pillow rather than the higher quality bed pillows used for sleeping.
What is a king sham ?
A king sham is a larger pillow sham that is intended to be used on a king size bed or a Cal king size bed. Many bedding manufacturers make these but some do not. When king shams are not available, use three standard size shams to fill a king size bed. Using two standard size shams on a king bed with result in a skimpy looking bed.
What is a bedskirt ?
(Also called a dust ruffle) A bedskirt is used to cover the area below the mattress. Bedskirts sit between the mattress and the box spring, draping over the sides of the bed. To choose a bedskirt, it is essential to measure your bed first. Measure the distance from the top of your box spring to the floor. This is the drop length that you will be needing. Bedskirts are generally made in a gathered style or a more contemporary tailored style.

Saint Gravy
There is a certain faction of society -- I think it's pretty large, if you judge by NorCal standards -- that regards Wavy Gravy as some sort of mystical deity from their parents' generation. We're not sure what he did, but you should probably address him as Mr. Gravy 'til he tells you not to.
This is a perception that is left unquibbled-with by director Michelle Esrick's ten year labor of docu-love, Saint Misbehavin': The Wavy Gravy Movie (opening Fri/3 in Bay Area theaters), and further untouched by my interview with Esrick and the man himself.
Saint Misbehavin' opening scenes are an iteration of a tie-died holy man's daily routine. We start out in Wavy's corner bedroom, awash in sitting Buddha figurines, plastic Disney toys, beads, books, and other sacred objects. Wavy enters, and says a pray and a brief recitation of his heroes.
This spoken list serves as a blueprint for the bio-pic to come: Jesus, Mohammed, Ghandi, MLK Jr., Jerry Garcia are among those name-dropped. They serve as a background compass for the movie's neatly plotted trajectory of Wavy's life: Gravy is born in New York, goes from folk-beatnik Greenwich Village, to acid be-ins with Kesey in California, to the Further Bus.
And then: a stint with the Hopi tribe, and later, off to the East: to Nepal to heal blindness (with the aide of his international medical non-profit Seva). Of course, his creation of Camp Winnarainbow, a summer camp that has been teaching West Coast flower children how to play for three generations now. Today, Wavy is an elder statesman of hippies and their descendents as well as a frozen dessert. His sold-out birthday spectaculars attract crowds like a Phish concert.
A more recognizable Gravy. Photo Courtesy of Ripple Effect Films
But for our movie-viewing purposes those names at the start also essential because we don't get to hear a whole lot about Wavy's inner monolouge in the flick – he's onstage here, clowning away as he does, well everywhere, not really dishing per se. Saint Misbehavin' is no E! True Hollywood Story.
So when I got the chance to sit face to face with the man (I wore a Ringling Brothers clown hat, he had on a blue bowler and carried his familiar fish on a leash), I thought maybe we'd talk a little about how he got so Gravy. "It's not too many kids that grow up to be a seminal member of so many artistic scenes," I say. "Washington Park in the early '60s, SF during the '60s, Woodstock... but what was special about Hugh Romney (that was his square name from before he was Wavy -- even before his first nom de nonsense Al Dente), how'd you get to where you are today?"
Gravy, just a little sleepy-looking in the warm office building where our interview takes place, tells me "one thing just followed from another, listing off his general path across the world." Such is the role of a tribe elder talking to a youngster: there are things that we are not to know. What more do we need to know, really? He quotes Thelonius Monk, a friend who stand-up comedian Hugh Romney opened for. "Everyone is a genius by just being themselves."
That's his deal: the rainbow he travels on is available to us all, if we can only see it and trust to it's pretty suspended bands of color. Luckily, we do have Saint Misbehavin' to get literal with. Esrick has put together a wild ride and the information it contains teaches about Wavy's contributions to the hippie and anti-Vietnam war movement. He was on the front lines back then – Esrick tells me that the way he deals with the chronic pain he sustains from police beatings from those days is one of the most impressive things she learned about Wavy in the 10 years she spent researching for the film with him.
I ask Wavy his reaction to seeing his epic life laid out on celluloid for thousands of strangers' viewing pleasure. He refused to see early versions of the film when Esrick was still editing: what was it like to finally view the real thing? "You realize what a long strange trip it was – and continues to be," he says after a moment's pause. "It was the only time I've ever seen Wavy speechless," Esrick smiles.
And so I leave our interview without really having gained any insider info on the life of Gravy. But I haven't departed without a few gems, the primos being the story of meeting his wife ("she put peanuts in my hamburger and I fell in love,") tips for graceful protests: "I always gave the best cop my rose. They were always very touched," vegetarianism: "remember you are not what you eat, you are what you don't shit,"and the truth about relations with the Middle East, spoken by a man who traveled through Iraq and Afghanistan on a rainbow bus in the 1970s: "They know the difference – there are ugly Americans that you see, and there are fellow travelers on the path of life. They recognized us as the latter."
This from Michelle: "A full biography of Wavy's would be 10 movies. I was interested in stringing a necklace of pearls together." Maybe there are things we're not supposed to know about those on high, or rather, that we don't have to in order to know that they're up there.
Epilogue: To gauge what maybe I am missing from the story of Wavy by virtue of not having been there in the glory days, I texted my mom today. "What did Wavy Gravy mean to you back in the day? Was he cool?" She wrote back "I don't remember him!" Which of course, means she was really there.

They have introduced and launched the careers of affiliated artists and groups, often collectively known as the Wu-Tang Killa Bees, and in 2008, About.com ranked them the #1 greatest hip hop group of all time, and stated "No weapon in hip-hop history can rival the chaotic cohesion of the Wu-Tang Clan. The Clan had so many characters, each with his own eccentricities. They were fearless in their approach. There's a good reason no group has been able to successfully recreate their sound. The crew spawned countless loosely associated acts. Their classic albums spawned classic albums." Kris Ex of Rolling Stone called Wu-Tang Clan "the best rap group ever."

Indie company RadioactiveGiant has acquired the rights to develop, produce and distribute "Miskatonic," a feature film inspired by the works of acclaimed horror author H.P. Lovecraft.
Not a direct adaptation of one of his works like "The Call of Cthulhu" or "The Shadow Over Innsmouth," instead this will be an original work created in the Lovecraft tradition which melds science fiction and horror in a period setting.
Miskatonic refers to a fictional university located in the fictional Massachusetts town of Arkham. First appearing in Lovecraft's "Herbert West: Reanimator" story, references to the school and its various professors popped up in numerous works from his Cthulhu Mythos including "The Dunwich Horror," "The Shadow Out of Time," "The Dreams in the Witch House," "The Whisperer in Darkness" and "At the Mountains of Madness".
Albert Sandoval will direct from a script by Devlin Mann and Stephen Dare. Sandoval and Daemon Hillen will produce. »

Facebook's upcoming move into peer-to-peer payments brings it into a crowded field. The most obvious competitors are Square Cash, PayPal's Venmo and PayPal itself. There are also competitors on the bank side, including Popmoney and Chase QuickPay.
Clearly Facebook is in a strong position to dominate the space. But with a near universal user base in the United States, that could be said about any space Facebook enters.
Facebook Payments will leverage the Messenger product and let people send money back-and-forth while messaging each other. Instead of using ACH, the system uses debit cards. (Just like Square Cash.)

As scientists from around the globe gather in Toronto next week to discuss the best ways of burying nuclear waste for thousands of years, a Toronto professor has a different idea. Peter Ottensmeyer, professor emeritus at University of Toronto, says waste fuel from Canada's nuclear reactors can be re-used. Not only will it provide vastly more energy than it does now, says Ottensmeyer. The re-used fuel will also lose its radioactivity much more quickly. In fact, there's potential to get 134 times more energy from what is now simply discarded as used fuel. He estimates the value of the potential electricity to be in the trillions of dollars.

As we all know that electricity is one of the basic requirements of each and every person and if in case you get to know that, there is some fault in your electric lines then it is advisable to call a licensed electrician from Palm Beach. He is the one who will not only fix your electric problem easily but will provide you lots of other benefits as well.
• Professional work: The licensed people are the professionals who have undergone training along with an apprenticeship program in all types of electrical emergencies. This is the reason why these people are able to diagnose all the problems related to electrical emergencies. Hence, they can provide you the best solution for a particular problem without causing any sort of personal injury or accident to your property.
• Number of different services: Being a licensed electrician he is much more capable in providing you a number of different services such as repairing work, installation of lot of devices such as water heaters, other equipments etc., all kinds of maintenance work and many more.
• Emergency services: There are times when you get an emergency and you want someone to take the charge of that immediately. Sometimes you have to spend all night without electricity as you don't get an electrician at that time.
But this is not the case here with the professional electricians. The professionals are very much available at mid night so, whenever you face such an emergency you can take the help of licensed electricians.

Authors have always faced a tough path: chronic rejection, no job security, low pay (if youĺre lucky). But thereĺs a new threat to add to that list of old perils: the online revenge review.
Todayĺs parable concerns a struggling Brooklyn writer named D. Foy. After years of working as everything from a ditch digger to an organic farmer, Foy recently sold a novel, ôMade to Breakö (due out next March), to the indie publisher Two Dollar Radio. And better yet, in September, Foy is getting married.
Long entranced by the bespoke suits at a certain New York menĺs shop, Foy decided it was time to spruce himself up for the wedding. ôI contacted them with the hopes theyĺd make me a suit as cool as everyone elseĺs,ö he writes via e-mail. ôWhat with everything they say about themselves, and the prices they tout, and such, I thought Iĺd be getting myself into a nice fix.ö
Alas, it was not to be.
After several failed attempts by phone and voice mail to make an appointment, Foy described his frustration on Yelp and left this final judgment: ôThis is not Ĺ24-7 white glove service.ĺ This is not Ĺunparalleled service,ĺ nor anything close. Contract this Ĺbusinessĺ at your own risk, ladies and gentlemen.ö
That finally elicited a personal response.
Someone at the tailorsĺ shop named Daniel almost immediately sent Foy an e-mail: ôI was just made aware of your Yelp review. We wanted to answer your questions but felt you were more interested in a fray. When your book comes out on Amazon, I will personally make sure our entire staff reviews in kind.ö
Yes, Foy had fallen into a ôSeinfeldö episode, and he refused to button up.
ôWanted a fray?ö he answered the tailor. ôI wanted service, Daniel, and thatĺs all I requested, very, very politely besides. And you know it. So will anyone else who sees the correspondence I put on Yelp, word for word. But if you feel you need to throw your little tantrum now because youĺre not able to take responsibility for your actions, go right ahead. There really is such a thing as karma.ö
To which Daniel instantly replied:
ôYep. I eagerly look forward to your book coming out. Going to make sure itĺs flooded with scathing reviews. . . . Deluge of awful reviews unless that post comes down. Going to make it a top priority.ö
Clearly, this is a tailor who knows how to cut on the bias.
ôThe authorĺs life has very much changed,ö Foy observes. Indeed. Try to imagine Hemingway telling Fitzgerald, ôMy tailor flamed me on Amazon because I panned him on Yelp.ö
Fortunately, this story has a better ending than most social-media brawls.
Foy decided that he wasnĺt ôcomfortable knowing that that sort of mojo is on the loose out there.ö He deleted his negative Yelp review. And asked me not to mention the businessĺs name in this piece.
And then Ś what do you know Ś the tailor offered to make him a free shirt.
Let the wedding bells ring!

I also checked the line-in cable and the rest of the assembly by plugging an MP3 player into it and there is no noise at all.
This points the finger directly at the Venice7M unit and I believe Enforcer was spot on with the idea that it is looping through the ground of the aerial as the noise stops when the aerial is disconnected from the DAB module. How do I break this loop? Should the DAB radio be able to do this or is there a design flaw here somewhere?
I have one thing that I will try today, and that is a USB sound card for the line-in.

Respond to Review of Clear Head - Lehka Hlava
by manooh
Review: Maitrea and Clear Head seem to be partner restaurants. Interior-wise, Maitrea wins, but taste- and selection-wise, we think Clear Head is the clear winner. Situated in an old building (visit the toilet! ;-)), it was absolute ok atmosphere in there. There was a long queue when we arrived (about 2pm), so it might be worth reserving when you go there for lunch. We had the Thai red curry and the oriental stir-fry, and liked them both very much (both a bit spicy). The selection of vegan options was bigger here than in Maitrea, and like there, the dishes were extremely well labelled (vegan, veganizable, raw, gluten-free, contains nuts/onion/garlic, ...). Loved the selection of fresh pressed juices.

Best friends are angels,
That God sent along.
They always stay beside you,
Whenever things go wrong.
I'm glad that God blessed me,
With a good friend such as you.
A person to be there,
A person to get me through.
Never turn away from me,
I can't bear to be apart.
All the pain and suffering,
Will be too much for my heart.
You are my best friend,
The one that brightens my day.
The one that cheers me up,
The one that's here to stay.
I have a special best friend who I haven't known long, but discovered that best friends aren't a matter of "how long", but a matter of love. She's always there for me and I the same for her....

A Climate Rally at the Right Time
When I started talking about climate change more than a decade ago, I worried my future grandchildren would someday face rising sea levels and punishing drought. Now it's clear those dangers won't wait until a later date. They have arrived already, and they are delivering heartache and suffering right now.
I see it here in New York, where Hurricane Sandy destroyed houses, drained nest eggs, and shuttered businesses. I see it in the Midwest, where drought pushed farmers to plow under their crops and thin their herds. And I see it in the towns across the nation where floods or fires or extreme heat have driven people from their homes.
Climate change isn't delaying, and neither can we. We must start tackling this challenge right now. That is why NRDC and our partners at 350.org and Sierra Club are hosting the biggest climate rally in history this Sunday in Washington DC. We expect tens of thousands of people to join us in calling for immediate climate action. I urge you to add your voice to the growing chorus.
The time is right for this rally.
President Obama underscored his commitment to fighting climate change in both his Inaugural Address and his State of the Union Address. Now he has two critical opportunities to turn those words into deeds. We want him to know that when he takes these bold actions to stabilize the climate, the American people will support him every step of the way.
The first action he should take is to reject the Keystone XL pipeline that will carry tar sands oil from Alberta to the Gulf of Mexico through America's heartland. Producing tar sands oil generates three times more greenhouse gas emissions than conventional crude. The EPA estimates that building the Keystone XL pipeline will increase carbon pollution by the equivalent of adding 6.2 million cars to the road for 50 years. It will also enable the industry to carry out its plans to triple the amount of tar sands produced.
Sweeping tar sands oil development is not a foregone conclusion. Industry insiders and pro-tar sands government officials acknowledge that production won't expand unless more pipelines are built. Routes proposed to Canadian ports have all been stalled by local outcry; the one through British Columbia, for instance, is generating headlines like "Dead Pipeline Walking." In light of pipeline problems—and new oil fields in North Dakota—many oil companies are starting to shift investments out of tar sands. Suncor abandoned plans to produce a million barrels a day by 2020, and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd cut capital spending at one tar sands project by $680 million.
If Canadians oppose tar sands pipelines running through their backyards, there is no reason Americans should take on this risk. We urge President Obama to prevent Keystone XL from moving forward.
Another critical climate step the president must take is to set limits on carbon pollution from power plants. The hundreds of power plants across America are the single largest source of global warming pollution—accounting for 40 percent of all U.S. carbon emissions. We know where the pollution is coming from; we just need to go after it.
President Obama can start right now using existing authority granted by the Clean Air Act. NRDC has laid out a common-sense plan for setting standards that could reduce carbon by 26 percent by 2020. It would also provide thousands of jobs and save families up to $700 a year in electricity bills. This is a fast and effective way to cut carbon pollution right now.
Yet President Obama can only seize this opportunity if he knows the American people are behind him. The "Forward on Climate" rally is a powerful way to send that message. Farmers, ranchers, medical professionals, union members, scientists, young people, religious leaders, and people from all walks of life will gather and together we will call for the climate action the president promised. I invite you to join us.

Chanting about the real global warming problems doesn't make you right. You are not right. We need the pipeline, but in a form that is eco friendly. It is true we do not need an oil only pipe, with all the old refining processes. We have a better product. The Tripe, or track pipe, would be the answer, and it's not a seperate question. (www.environmentalfisherman.com) A track pipe system is realistic, unlike the chanting, which emboldens substandard NRDC analysis. As in fisheries, the NRDC is caught up in everything other than the core problem. We need the right pipe. We need the right processes. We don't need China waltzing in and ... who knows what they would achieve for the environment. Let's create solutions. Let's beat this problem. These are enormous oil reserves. Please don't serve them up on a silver platter to China.

We're Getting Close! Call Your Senator NOW to Tip the Balance on FMAP Funding.
Last night, another opportunity to extend higher federal Medicaid matching funds (FMAP) failed, but it's getting closer.
Only four more votes are needed to bring the H.R. 4218, the American Jobs, Closing Tax Loopholes, and Preventing Outsourcing Act, to the Senate floor.
Contact your Senator today. It's time for them to pass this bill.
To write your U.S. Senator, visit NAMI's Legislative Action Center.
To call your U.S. Senator, phone the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121.
Without this bill's six-month extension of higher FMAP matching funds, your state will lose millions of dollars in Medicaid funding for needed mental health services. If passed, this bill will bring funds ranging from $33.4 million in Wyoming to $385.6 million in Wisconsin to $3,272.9 million in New York.
View how your U.S. Senators voted on June 17th.
If your Senator voted for this bill, let him or her know you are counting on their support and urge them to influence their colleagues. If your Senator voted no, let him or her know that people who live with mental illness need their vote.
Make a difference in the lives of people with mental illness — contact Congress today.

On the night before 2nd Lieutenant JP Blecksmith shipped out to Iraq, after his family took him out for dinner in Newport Beach, California, his older brother, Alex, picked up a pair of clippers and shaved JP's head. When that was done and JP looked ready for combat, Alex gave his brother a hug. Then Alex climbed into JP's green Ford Expedition and drove it north, back to the family's house in San Marino, weeping part of the way. He had a feeling. So did his parents. A premonition. They didn't talk about it much, but two months later, in November 2004, when JP joined a wave of U.S. Marines roaring into the city of Fallujah as part of Operation Phantom Fury, the feeling intensified.
On the night of November 10, Blecksmith and his closest friend in Iraq, Lieutenant Sven Jensen, slept on a rooftop in Fallujah. It was, miraculously, a quiet night, and chilly. They got a decent night's sleep. They awoke just before sunrise and were amused to find a small pet bird with green wings and a yellow belly perched a couple of feet away from their faces. Jensen took a picture of the bird. There were other ones like it all over Iraq, because when U.S. troops were searching abandoned houses, they often found cages that had been left behind. The soldiers let the birds go free so they wouldn't starve to death.
Hours before, JP had sent a letter to his girlfriend, addressing it formally, as always, to "Ms. Emily M. Tait." In it he wrote, "By the time you receive this, you will know we have gone into the city. We've been preparing for it the last few days, and my guys are ready for the fight, and I'm ready to lead them. It'll be hectic, and there will be some things out of my control, but the promise of you waiting at home for me is inspiring and a relief." Now he was in the thick of it. Blecksmith and Jensen came down from the roof, ate their MREs for breakfast, and got their orders. Before the invasion the battalion commander, Colonel Patrick Malay, had given his men an analogy: "Imagine a dirty, filthy windowpane that has not been cleaned in hundreds of years,'" he recalls saying. "That's how we looked at the city of Fallujah. Our job was to scrub the heck out of that city, and then take a squeegee and wipe it off so that it was clean and pure." Most of Fallujah was empty, and anyone left in the city was presumed to be an insurgent.
Blecksmith and the other members of the India Company of the Third Battalion, Fifth Marines Regiment, moved south through the city, with their blood types scrawled in indelible marker on the sleeves of their uniforms. The streets smelled terrible—a stubborn aroma of rotting food and bodies. Late in the day on November 11, things started to go wrong. A marine in Blecksmith's platoon, Klayton South, was shot in the mouth by an insurgent when he kicked open the door of a house. Blood gushed from his mangled teeth and tongue. The medics cut into South's throat to give him an emergency tracheotomy. (He survived. He's since had more than 40 operations to repair the damage.) "It shook the platoon up," Jensen says now, "and JP was the most in-control person I saw. He had a sector to clear, so he rallied his guys and said, Okay, we've got to continue clearing.'" Blecksmith's and Jensen's platoons moved off in different directions, and the two friends shot each other a glance. "I'll never forget looking at his eyes the last time I saw him," Jensen says. "He turned and he gave me almost an apprehensive look, like, Oh, shit, we've got some shit going on. I wanted to say Hey, I'll see you later.' But I didn't say anything to him."
Minutes later, Blecksmith led his platoon into a house and climbed a flight of stairs to the roof to survey the surrounding landscape. Shots came from a building across the street. Blecksmith stood up to direct the squads under his command, shouting at them to take aim at the enemy nest. He was tall, and was now visible above the protective wall. "He was up front a lot, and he made a big target, and we'd talked to him about that," Colonel Malay says. "He exposed himself consistently to enemy fire in the execution of his duties. He displayed a fearlessness to the point that we had to talk to him about the fact that nobody is bulletproof."
As Blecksmith stood on the roof, a sniper's 7.62-mm bullet found one of the places on his body where he was vulnerable. It was a spot on his left shoulder, less than an inch above the rim of his protective breastplate. The bullet sliced downward diagonally, coming to rest in his right hip, and along the way it tore through his heart. "I'm hit," Blecksmith said. He fell. He raised his head for a moment, and that was it. A Navy medic got to Blecksmith immediately, but he was already dead, and his men carried his heavy body back down the stairs. He was 24.
That night in San Marino, Alex Blecksmith came home from work and noticed that the house was dark. He opened the front door and saw his mother, Pam, sitting at the kitchen table with a couple of marines in dress blues and white gloves, and he heard the phrase We regret to inform you . . .
The funeral was so magnificent, so full of pageantry, that at times it was difficult for Alex to remember that the guy being buried was his brother. The Marines do it right when it comes to honoring the fallen. They do it so right that you can get swept up in the ceremony and feel as though you're watching a parade. The funeral took place at the Church of Our Saviour in San Gabriel—the church where the most celebrated of San Marino's favorite sons, General George S. Patton, had been baptized as a baby. As the flag-draped casket was carried out of the sanctuary and into the California sun, a long, silent line of almost 2,000 people followed. There were marines and midshipmen and local firefighters in uniform. There was a 21-gun salute. Four World War II fighter planes swooped toward the cemetery in the "missing man" formation—just as they passed over the funeral, the fourth plane symbolically split from the quartet and veered into the sky. A bagpiper played a Scottish dirge. One of JP's old friends would later observe that the day, in all of its glory and pomp, made him think of Princess Diana's wedding.
As Public support for the war in Iraq wavers, it's easy to forget that people like JP Blecksmith even exist. The American military is so predominantly blue-collar that we tend to assume that the sons and daughters of the rich never voluntarily die in warfare anymore. Blecksmith was born in September 1980, just weeks before his state's own Ronald Reagan was elected president, and he spent most of his youth in the small Los Angeles County town of San Marino during what felt, for many of its wealthy and conservative inhabitants, like something of a Leave It to Beaver golden age. To look at a photograph of him, blue-eyed and suntanned and grinning, is to understand the enduring magnetism of the word California. He stood six foot three and weighed 225 pounds. His chest was a keg; his biceps were gourds. His biography reads as though it were scripted by a Hollywood publicist: legendary quarterback on the Flintridge Prep football team, track star, graduate of the United States Naval Academy.
His father, Ed Blecksmith, who is 64, runs an executive-recruiting firm in Los Angeles. He and Pam met in the early seventies, while both were working in the White House. Along a wall leading into their kitchen hang framed Christmas cards from Dick and Pat Nixon. "Here's a kid," Ed says, "who didn't need to do this." It's as though JP were transplanted into our world from the Eisenhower years. Somehow, in an ironic age of Jon Stewart and South Park, the guy grew up in a kind of pre-Summer of Love bubble in which young men of strength and valor still yearned to distinguish themselves on the battlefield. He was groomed, in a sense, for something that no longer exists, at least not for guys who grow up in the wealthiest zip codes in the country. He believed in ideals of duty and sacrifice that have become, for many men, anachronistic and even unfathomable.
"I was in awe," says Peter Twist, Bleck-smith's closest friend since preschool. Twist played wide receiver to Blecksmith's quarterback on the Flintridge Prep football team; a local newspaper called the duo "Fire & Ice." Blecksmith was known for being fast, composed, smart, and unflappable, and his giant arms could propel the ball a good 80 yards down the field. If he had an athletic flaw, it was that he was aware of his own flawlessness. "He had such personal confidence," says Tom Fry, a mentor to Blecksmith in high school and one of the assistant coaches on his team. "He felt that if all the stars aligned, there was nothing he couldn't do—it was JP's world." When they graduated in 1999, Twist and a couple other teammates went off to the University of Arizona, where it's safe to say the prospect of partying was on their minds, while Blecksmith opted for the rigors and restrictions of Annapolis. "I was stoked for the man," says Twist, 26, who lives in Newport Beach and works in the mortgage business. "Most of us are still trying to figure it out, but JP always had a goal."
November 11, the date on which JP Blecksmith died, was noteworthy for other reasons: It's Twist's birthday. It also happens to be the birthday of General Patton, who grew up in San Marino and holds a prominent place in the town's history. This coincidence has only bolstered the mythology of JP Blecksmith—a feeling that it was his destiny to die in combat. The Blecksmiths have a statue of Patton on a shelf in their home, and it becomes clear in conversation that Ed, a decorated Vietnam veteran himself, sees a kind of mystical link between the fate of his son and the military triumphs of the legendary general (who was a passionate believer, it just so happens, in reincarnation).
Indeed, JP Blecksmith fit the "hero" mold in such classic, square-jawed American style that a kind of cult of JP has begun to develop in San Marino. They give out awards in his name at the local schools. On the Fourth of July, San Marino hosts a JP Blecksmith 5K run. A Marine Corps training center in Pasadena has been christened Blecksmith Hall. On a hot Sunday morning this past August, Alex parked his brother's Expedition in the cemetery and walked across the grass to the pale granite stone that says james patrick blecksmith. An elderly man wandered over to the headstone, hand in hand with a grade-school kid who had a blond Mohawk, and told Alex, "I never met JP, but I go by here and show my grandson his grave."
Three years after Blecksmith's death, his bedroom still looks the way it did when he left for Annapolis in 1999. There's a Green Bay Packers poster over the bed, a dense forest of athletic trophies, toy race cars lined up on the dresser. "This is all his stuff from Iraq that they sent over," Alex says, looking down at a cardboard box on the floor. "We haven't gone through it, really."
Ed Blecksmith walks into the bedroom, and within a few seconds his voice is cracking and his blue eyes are growing wet. "It's still tough," he says. "You see all these pictures and things . . ." He insists on sitting down in front of the TV downstairs and watching DVD footage of that magnificent funeral, fighting back a sob at the moment when one of the eulogists, a Navy SEAL, describes JP as having been "the best of the best." Ed has some Fox News footage, too. In it, you can see JP speaking to his men hours before the battle in Fallujah, and that's where you get a brief glimpse of the regular guy behind the mythology. Because there stands JP, in fatigues and a floppy Boonie hat, holding a map, telling his marines to "expect everything you can possibly imagine." When he looks at the camera for a moment, he's smiling.

A NEW Glasgow project is helping older people who have autism build their confidence.
The service, Person to Person, was launched to tackle the loneliness and isolation that charities say is often the experience of older people on the autism spectrum.
National Autism Society Scotland is training volunteers to help build confidence and social skills.
This can include outings and activities, phone calls to catch up on news and support in achieving goals.
Douglas Herbertson, 54, from Springburn, has become friends with Harry Ewing, 65, from Newton Mearns, through the project.
Mr Herbertson, who was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome at the age of 50, said: "I often felt very lonely until I met Harry. I wanted some company and friendship, but I wasn't sure where to start. Meeting Harry has made a big difference.
"One of the best things has to be having a laugh and a joke with Harry. It felt like such a long time since I'd had a friend to laugh with; it's almost learning how to do it all over again. Harry is great company."
Mr Ewing said: "I discovered Douglas is an intelligent, interesting man, and there are lots of things he would like to do.
"He just needed someone to say: 'Take your time. Have a think and if it feels right, go for it'."
