Spike: Successufully launched on 11th of August 2011
Kick-up rudder works fine
Surprised how well one is able to scull this small boat
Spike first time with her sprit-sail. Sails very well!
Motor-bracket works well too. One could use boat without such bracket but probably motor would sit too low in the water and verticality of shaft is difficult to achieve. Load better distributed to transom by this bracket
Motor could do 1000 W. Now driving with 225 W and 7,6 km/h. With 76% remaining battery-capacity still range of 14.6 km to go
Boat can do 9,7 km/h with full throttle of Torqeedo 1003
Torqeedo 1003 fixed on boat
Spike rows very nice
Christening Spike before launch
Simple helm-impeder
Simple helm-impeder. Loose-position
Simple helm-impeder. Fixed position
White: Outboard-bracket for Torqeedo 1003
Top-stainless-steel: Uppber gudgeon
Middle: Hold-down (segment made of 5 mm ply). With this rudder does not jump out of gudgeons
Bottom-stailess steel: Lower gudgeon
I think this will be a good solution: Outboard-bracket with bracings distributiong torsion-moment to transom evenly.
Note: hardware for rudder is not interfering with outboard-bracket
Spike almost ready to sail
Note: Hatches of aft flotation-chamber installed
Outboard-bracket secured by cleat at inside of transom-
Daggerboard-case-cover hold-down with rubber and hook
Boat first time on slip-trailer
Bottom inside painted white with some anti-slip additive
Rudder in up-position
Rudder installed with all lines on now
Captain Moses checking new outboard-bracket. It is the same bracket made of plywood, now painted white
Painted black below waterline
Rudder painted: Up-position
Rudder painted: Lower=operating position
Rudder painted and oiled. Testing lines
Painting black below waterline
Did some reinforcement to outboard-bracket: Load distribution from torsion-moment of motor onto transom. Oiled. Will paint it white and thereby protect epoxy-fillets
Lap-joint from outside. FinishedSapeli-Mahagony
First layer of Deck´s Olje done
Fanally all sanding done. Ready to oil exterior
Moises: Yo no soy marinero, Soy Capitan!
Not yet the final verison of th brachel. Only first test to see how Torqueedo Motor fits. Had to change outboard-bracket to fit to motor-bracket. Needed to widen and elevate bracket to allow big screw-socket to fit Torqueedo 1003. Will change tiller to optional long tiller
Last Epoxy-work done: Bilge Keels now glued onto bottom
Boat turned around again to finish exterior
First oil on internal hull and decks
Ready to oil/paint internal hull
Sanding, sanding (Joint between side-bench and aft flotation-chamber)
Oarlock: Checking how it fits onto gunwales. Oarlock in rowing-position
Wooden filler peace glued where oarlock will be fixed. Sanded into wedge-shape to allow pin of oarlock to fit between sidebench and planking
Checking: Oarlock in lowered position
Last glue inside hull: Filler-pieces for oarlocks
Still missing: Sanding, oiling, varnishing
Captain Moises testing out sidebenches
Outboard-bracket. View shows slot which goes into transom. Sculling-notch used for horizontal stabilisation
This is how outboard-bracket is going onto transom
Outboard- bracket finished (only painting is still to be done). Thinking to use this bracket also in non-center-position to keep rudder in place and have motor ready in non-center-position. I think it will work fine
Cleaning/sanding outboard-bracket
Gluing side-benches
Piece of art? Sculpture? No, it is sort of mess gluing together outboard-bracket
Removable outboard-bracket before gluing. Will test this for electric motor Torqueedo 1003. 12 mm ply-scrap except centerpart which is 20 mm oak (same as used for transom)
Had to trim away more from mast to fit mastfoot and partner
Daggerboard case closed. Small triangle is made of chestnut-wood and shows front of cover
Mast will be fitted with some leather at the place where it passes partner. Add 5 mm in diameter for leather
Spike first time in open space. Captain Moises checking how she performs in the dry
My client wants to have an outboard in addition to oars and sail! My choice is electric-outboard Torqueedo 1003. Now I had to invent and do REMOVABLE outboard-bracket. This is how my bracket looks before gluing. Bracket is fixed very simply by cheeks and I will use 6 mm line fixed somewhere on bracket and cleat on transom to hold bracket down and in stable position. This is not yet the final version! See pitures at end of series to look how this idea developed.
Cheeks of outboard-bracket. Side-fixing using sculling-notch
This will be used for center-piece of outboard-bracket
Rounded daggerboard-case front-plate
Mast and sprit. End of sprit open for snotter
Hole in masttop finished. Better and cheaper that any fancy block! Lots of sanding-dust!
Shaping mast with sanding paper
My grandfathers planer: From a time Austria was a Monarchy. Still excellent tool and very nice to work with!
Mast still octagonal. Will be rounded now
Preparing hole for halyard in mast-top
Rudder hold-down glued-on
Mast still to be finished. Sprit ready for oiling
Mast: Octagonal shape done
Mast: Marked for octagonal shaping
Cut mast to shape with circular hand-saw

Bilge-keels ready to be glued onto bottom of boat
Cutting bilge-keel (oak)
Slot for snotter in sprit
Top of sprit finished
Octagonal rounding of sprit finished with plane

Supports for side-bench. Using tape. Looks weird but should work gluing with epoxy
Did an additional cover at mast-partner using some 12 mm ply-scrap to protect relatively soft larch-ply of foredeck
Captain Moises checking status of construction.
still missing on boat: side-benches, fileting joints and sanding before oiling and painting.
Fwd trim and transition zone rubbing-strake at foredeck
Backboard rubbing-strake glued
Caption Moises drilling hole in stemhead for his painter. My fathers good old driller can do big holes slowly but effective
Preparing to cut stemhead: Read Pete Cullers book on "Wooden Boats" first: What makes Classics real...
Shaping transom
Sculling-nodge. Placed excentric to get out of the way of rudder and optional electric outboard
Cutting hole for mast in mast-partner. Sabersaw-blade was getting hot here!
Prepare cutting-out hole for mast in partner
Used wider ribbing strake for fwd gunwale to cover foredeck and keep lower alignment of rubbing strake
Marking mast-hole in fredeck. Straight line is Station 1. From there one needs to measure exactly (in this case with forredeck 110 mm) to get correct rake of mast
Gluing of trim and supports for side-bench finished
Gluing daggerboard-cover (cover for daggerboard-case if boat will be rowed or motored)
Gluing fwd cover. Trim and rubbing-strip gunwales still missing!

Cardboard-temaplate also used for fwd cover of buoyancy-chamber
Aft cover of flotation-chamber: Taking measurements using cardboard-template
Stbd Side-seat prepared. Will use 10 mm ply with ash-trimming on inside edge
Daggerboard fits well into case. Daggerboard only partly lowered on this picture
Weight of boat on this picture: 56 kg.
Still missing covers of buoyancy-chambers, side-seats, hatches, daggerboard-slot-cover, fittings and hardware, gwl. rubbing-streakes, cutting hole for mast at partner, bilge-keel, epoxy-fillets, finishíng and oil/paint
My friend Erich with lots of clamps fixing daggerboard-elements during gluing. It was good planning to fix the fwd brace first. Now daggerboard-case and all parts of are being glued between fwd brace and thwart
Now everything prepared for daggerboard-case: Ready to glue
Sides of daggerboard-case (6 mm ply) epoxied before putting it into place (later not possible to paint as in daggerboard-slot!)
Everything ready (thwart, rails, spacers, sides, fwd-brace) before gluing/fixing daggerboard-case. Inside of sides received epoxy-cover as later not possible to go into daggerboard-slot
Cutting 6 mm ply-sides for daggerbaord-case
Captain Moises checking centerline and verticality of daggerboard-case before gluing

AFT flotation-chamber: Gluing supporting structure
Cardboard-template: Will give shape for 6 mm bulkhead-ply
Preparing for mast-partner and bulkhead-installation
Finished gluing mast-step. Mast-step is build up using 3 plywood-scraps of 10, 12 and 10 mm. Lover plywood has center-slot to allow mast-step to drain. Fwd part of mast-step with 6 mm distance from frame to allow ply for later flotation-chamber bulkhead
Before gluing mast-step. Butt-joinst visible in bottom-plank is still visible
What´s that?
Will also cover butt-joint. Center-slot allows drain of mast-step
Frames 2, 3 and 4 glued. Some supports for flotation-chambers started
Frames 2, 3, and 4 glued. Some supports for flotation-chambers started
12 mm drillholes. Once finished/connected will result in limber-hole
Cutting limber-holes into frames-bottom: Finished
Cutting limber-holes into frames-bottom
Frame at station 2 glued, frame 3 under preparation. Ooops, forgot to put limber-holes in bottom-frame station 2.
Sawing frames. Complicated geometry, but "peace of cake" with japanes saw
Starting to put in frames. This is frame at station 2. Has to be at the right distance to daggerboard-slot
Boat is very light. I wanted to have a light boat.
Current weight is about 40 kg (88 lbs). This is with planking, keel, stem, chines and gunwales only.
I am able to put back onto frame and molds alone, without help
Testing daggerboard haul-up
Capitán Moises testing daggerboard: Es perfecto!
Note: excentric daggerboard slot: Allows keel to go into centerline and will widen "sleeping place" within boat-bottom
Captain Moises checks how it feels to dry-sail Spike
successful turnaround needs to be celebrated with Erich
Turn around: Step 4
Turn around: Step 3
Turn around: Step 2
Turn around: Step 1
Ply at transom-end cut and planed even
Boat roughly cleaned and ready to turn around
Plane even keel and skeg

Tapes taken away to clean epoxy before it is hard as stone
Yes, he can!
This is Moises´s own design of a sailing boat under construction: All there: Boat with daggerboard and sail. What great and simple design done in 5 minutes!
The captain explains how it works

Keel glued on 6 mm offside to daggerboard-slot (to allow 6 mm sheets for daggerboard-case)
Holding-down keel and stem is fixed usin some tapes and small clamp
Keel (left) connects to Stem (right)
Just before gluing keel and stem
Daggerboard-slot finished
Standing on the bottom of Spike: Drill holes to allow cutting daggerboard-slot into bottom
Planing stem to a trapezoid. Motor-planer does the fast work, hand-planer does the good work...
Marking Stem
Marking Skeg usig Template
Skeg-Template finished
Cardboard Skeg-Template
Cardboard-template for marking-up skeg
Marking daggerboard-slot between station 2 and 3
Transfer Station 3 onto bottom to know where I have to cut slot for daggerboard
Checking keel
End of keel (will receive skeg. Not shown in plans but I think is good to do like that as it gives better support/stability to the skeg)
Japanese technology: Japanese pulling-saw. A new expirience to me. Works great
Marking CL for Keel and Daggerboard-Slot
Finishing Daggerboard
Trimming Daggerboard with fathers planer
Marking DWL (Waterline)
Bottom and planking glued. time for a glass of wine with my friend Erich
Bottom-butt-joint between Stations 1 and 2
Bottom at aft needs some force to come down due to rocker. Long clamps, wooden beam and some wedges do the job
Long claps and weights keep bottom down
Bottom glued
Apron already planed even. Some honeycomb between garboards and chines will be nicely filled with epoxy by gluing on bottom
Transom ready to receive bottom
Apron already planed even to receive bottom
View from down-under onto butt-joint of bottom between Station 1 and 2 before application of epoxy. Butt-strip (if required at all for 10 mm marine ply, I will see) will be glued-on after boat is turned over
10 mm ply for bottom
Planing and sanding chines to receive bottom. Makta-planer (red in foreground) planer and belt-sender with me. The planer does most of the work. Sander is good to do the fine-tuning as it is easy to dig to deep with the planer
Last plank hanged. My friend Erich needs a rest now
Butt-joint from inside
Erich con Rosita de Guacamaya
Cheers, the last plank done. The most difficult part of Spike is done, I guess
My neighbor and friend Erich and the last plank done
Gain finished: 200 mm long, 20 mm wide. Fwd runs out in a feather of approx 1 mm
Side rabbet plane to smooth-out gain
Chisel-out gain into garboard for topsides
Cut gain into garboard for topsides to land fwd
Gluing daggerboard
Apron and Transom-Clamps still on port-topside-plank b: Wait with taking them away until Epoxy has hardened 100% (About 24 hours)
Important: Remove Epoxy before it has 100% hardened. Need to wait for the right moment before this can be done. Today had to wait about 8 hours. Wide Chisel used to take away tape and Epoxy
Daggerboard. This shows the idea: Sofwood (spruce) for main part of daggerboard to keep it light. Front and bottom reinforced using hardwood (oak). Needs glueing and final shaping. Thickness: 27 mm. Cheeks on top are made of 12 mm scrap-ply
Captain Moises with safety-gear
Wooden clamps used here to help joining planks. Simple but effective
Transom-view: Epoxy placed to receive topside
Cutting handle with my fathers sabersaw. Sabersaw is now more than 30 years in use and still runs perfect. My father bought it in the year 1979!
Daggerboard before placing hard-wood parts
Gain cut into Garboard
Top View onto Apron. Garboards hanged.
Topside-planks already cut. Ready to be glued on tomorrow
Garboard intersecting with transom. Still to be cut aft
Butt-Joint after epoxy is hard. Will be sanded and will look nice. I think it will look better than scarphed-joint
Marking up daggerboard. Will use light wood this time (spruce) and reinforce with hardwood at fwd and bottom underwater-parts. Lighter wood easier to handle daggerboard for kids
Garboards glued on starboard-side
Cutting ply at apron. Probably not the best tool for this job. Note: Saw is ripping out veneers and it is difficult to keep straight line with this tool. Next time I will use hand-planer or electric planer for this delicate work
My tools for cutting 5 mm ply: Sabersaw and good old plane to finish cuts and plane them even
5 mm Garboard ply lands on apron. Extra length will be cut-off later
Garboard glued on with epoxy. Lots of clamps. Wooden clamps used for first boat (Amberjack Dory) work fine here
Taping before applying epoxy
Butt-joint. Easier (compared with scarph-joint) and will look fine or even better on this boat
First plank: Testing how it fits
5 mm ply ready for cutting planks
Template on port-site placed. Template works for starboard side too
Some of my tools. Messy, but within reach
Template marked up for cutting
5 mm sapeli-mahagony ready to cut planks
I wil use cheap 2,5 mm birch-ply as template for garboards
Below building-frame: Spruce for mast and sprit
She is showing her nice courves from aft. Not easy to bend-in+down and fix the chines due to rocker in aft
Upper jig: Hold-down chines
Lower jig: Bending-in ganwales
Temporary jigs help to bend-in gunwales to be parallel to topsides
Here comes the sun! But skiing-gear still left in garage until lake is warm for Guacamaya
Gunwales glued onto apron: Finished
Chines glued onto apron: Finished
Fixing of chines onto transom finished
The difficult part is done. Now planking can start
Note gap between chine and mold 4 due to stong rocker/bend of aft chines. Needs to be hung downwards with simple device
Gunwales glued onto apron
Chines glued and screwed onto apron
Boat-shape starts to be visible
Lots of clamps and some tricks required to hold down those 3-D courved chines in aft part of boat
Chines and gunwales glued onto transom.
Note: chine fixed temporarily with srew inot transom. Screw will be removed later
Chines need to be bended more down- and inwards. Not easy but we will force them with clamps
"Spanish Windlass" to get chines down and inwards. Not easy to do this. Gunwales with temporary screwed-on-extensions will help to fix those onto transom
Gunwales fixed temporarily with screws. I decied to put gunwales on now and not later after planking (as foreseen in Iain Oughtred plans). I think this will give more overall stability to the hull from the moment I will turn-over this boat
Nodge to fit chines visible in upper part of picture
Cutting ginwales to fit onto apron. Check and recheck as it is easy to get this short!
Cutting gunwales to exact length and angle
Cutting chines: Easy to cut short!
Note: Nodge cut in in bottom of transom to fit chines
Transom almost finished for placing chines and gunwales onto molds. Nodge for shines still missing
Shaping Transom
Temporaty screws will be countersunk and all will come together with epoxy
Fixing chines with temporary measures and temporary screws
Looks about right. Chines will have to be bended in slightly! Cut has to allow to do this by skewed cut
3-D-Cut. Always mark before cutting!
Note: Chipwood-template (where apron is fixed with temporary screw) cut back to allow passage of chines
Cut away bottom piece of apron (by height of chines)
Will cut bottom of apron to fit chines
First time checking how chines will come together at apron
Temporary fixing transom on distancer. This system allows taking away transom for trimming still to be done
Placing distancer: Will help to fix transom temporarily for trimming
Trimming Transom: Note bottom part almost trimmed by hand-planer. Sides not yet trimmed but marking of sides AFT visible
Transom: AFT before trimming. Wood: Slawonian oak
Transom FWD. Wood: Slawonian Oak
Marking Transom: FWD
Profiling transom with sabersaw
Marking Transom
Apron fixed onto building-frame
Apron centered and fixed with 2 temporary scews. Note: Gunwale shows if apron forwd is properly shaped
Shaping Apron
Transom ready for planing and shaping
Checking Apron length
Marking 40 mm x 40 mm Apron
Transom glued using epoxy
Preparation for gluing transom
Laying-out 25x100 mm pieces for transom
Time to restart work in March: It took me some to get good quality oak for chines, gunwales, risers...
Block for downhaul. Will allow for 5 mm line going up between pintles to tiller-end and cleats on tiller. Not yet finished
Cutout for pintle. Will be covered by cheeks later
Rudder shaped and sanded. Needs only oiling/painting.
Upper part still to be finished
Line will than go to block between rudder-cheeks
Hole in kickup-rudder for uphaul-line
Good equipment to protect your eyes and lungs is very important. Goggles (with full enclosure and big enough to be used with my prescription-glasses) and 3M-respirator to filter out sanding-dust
Upper part of rudder (woodwork not yet finished) and hardware. Pintles, gudgeons and pivot-bolt produced for 20 Euro by my friend in stainless steel. Small block fordownhaul (not in slot-position yet) bought by internet-order (Trident UK)
Note: upper pintle shorter than lower pintle. Upper pintle still to be fitted into wood-cut-out as plywood-cheeks will go onto upper part to support tiller. Lower pintle-arms are extended to pivot-bolt for more stability
Captain Moises shows how rudder is going together. Not yet shaped, not sanded, not painted, but the main work is done
Tiller planed. Epoxy ooze gone
Gluing curved tiller with simple clamp-jig using 2 inch board ( 4 layers of scrap-ply, 6, 8, 6 and 6 mm ply). Note: Oozing epoxy- mess
Original rudder design and change to kick-up type drawn up on cardboard
Copy new design onto film to study geometry of kick-up-rudder
12 mm cheeks epoxied onto 12 mm filler-piece
From bottom upwards: Cheek, filler-piece and rudder. Note top-right: Block for downhaul
Rudder and cheeks cut from 12 mm marine ply. Note slot for small uphaul-block as in Iain Oughtreds designs for kickup-rudders. Rudder not yet shaped and not yet sanded
Using transparent-film new drawing for kick-up rudder done. Here rudder seen in lower and upper position. New shape of rudder will be more round and slightly larger at aft to compensate for cutting shorter at front. Hope this will not affect centre of lateral resistance too much
It´s cold outside. Christmas time used to get rudder sorted out. Here on cardboard I have drawn fixed rudder as per original plans. Want to make kick-up-rudder. New design developed using transparent paper and cardboard as shown in following pictures
Small changes on building frame required
Cutting templates using Sabersaw. Also cut-out for gunwales!
I will use same building frame as used for Patepluma (Amberjack Dory). Captain Moises will help me again on this project
Transom Profile (It needs 2 of those)
Station 1: Cheap chipboard 12 mm. Laminated with thin coat (white) makes marking easy

Bowser has bad memories of when he was possessed after watching "The Exorcist".
This is hilarious.
Is there even a shroobified Bowser?
After Elder Princess Shroob is beaten, she turns into a mushroom, which Bowser eats, not knowing it's her. She then possesses his body, and Mario and Luigi must defeat the possessed Bowser (Shrowser) and her ghost.
it can and it did, more than once
Lol, this just made my day XD

I'll also note that TYPE-OF and CLASS-OF could both lead to issues like
"The value [...] is of type CONS, but should be of type (CONS NIL ...),"
which is less than enlightening (for two reasons). Just to keep things as clear as possible, I'd prefer moving TYPE-OF/CLASS-OF info out of the main error message.
On the other hand, perhaps blue is a more appropriate colour… This requires more thought ;)

The Wellington City Commission will have a public hearing on its budget next Tuesday, (Aug. 20) and is expected to pass its budget at that time. Currently the budget is calling for a 2-mil tax increase, which City Manager Gus Collins said would amount to about a $2 more per month for a $100,000 house or property.
On Tuesday of this week commissioners went over their budget one last time, looking for ways to save money and some commissioners were looking for ways to not raise taxes at all.
Collins said the city has not had a tax rate increase in eight years.
He told the commission there is some contingency money, or a cushion, built in. That could be cut to avoid taxes, but if the city had any unexpected expenses, they would be in a bind and might have to borrow money. The commission has to approve any expenses regardless.
Another option to avoid the tax increase would be to put off some street repairs.
Those are two decisions the commission will have to make Tuesday as it approves the budget.
Collins said departments in the city were asked to cut their individual budgets by three to four percent, and for the most part they did.
Increases in expenses are largely in streets, water and sewer.

Are You Ready for Four Avatar Sequels?
The Empire Strikes Blue
The Empire Strikes Blue
The director, deep-sea explorer and NASA advisor fixes his sights on renewable energy
James Cameron has said that the new 'Avatar' films will make you "shit yourself with your mouth wide open". That is perhaps the most unpleasant sell for a film of all time.
How fast are eyes?
When you check in to a hospital in the future, along with checking your vitals and ordering a blood panel, your doctors may assign you a personal mouse.
It's an epic film, laden with eleven Oscars and one of the biggest box-office returns in history. It also has a running time of biblical proportions, and many backsides were irretrievably numbed by the experience. But do you really need to see Titanic in glorious, stereoscopic 3D? Director James Cameron thinks you do.

A Comparison of the Performance of Flexible Functional Forms for Use in Applied General Equilibrium Modelling
This paper describes a procedure for testing the global properties of functional forms which recognizes their specific role in economic equilibrium modelling. This procedure is employed to investigate the global regularity and third-order curvature properties of three widely used flexible functional forms, the Translog, the Generalized Leontieff and the Normalized Quadratic functional forms.

Takht Riad---Egyptian ethnic instruments---virtuoso performers who embrace the art of musical ecstasy---"tarab"; meditative yet breathtaking improvisations---"taqasim" and whirling pre-composed musical forms cross-fertilize world Sufi, Jazz and Classical music genres.
"Very enjoyable, this one gets a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for those who enjoy the music of other cultures. It gets an "EQ" (energy quotient) rating of 4.94."
"With bright, long strokes Riad Abdel-Gawad and his ensemble paints a broad musical picture of a place that man has known as the center of culture for centuries. He has led us from north to south and on every bank of the Nile River and east to west though every arid desert and verdant valley. His gifts have made us better for the journey, culturally and spiritually."
"...this is the real deal, rich in musical colour and equally vibrant in creating a vision of the country in your mind while listening to the CD. I've been playing this album quite a bit and it doesn't tire, its lively melodies and rhythms perking up these jaded ears - highly recommended and most definitely one of my albums of 2010.
"all musicians are highly recognized artists in Middle Eastern music and perform on traditional ethnic instruments so the listener is greatly rewarded with colorful and authentic works of beauty...The album is an unrivaled work of art given by some great talents."
"Abdel-Gawad is a master of both his instrument and the music he produces with it. He plies his trade with unfaltering, steady, and confident note-precision virtuosity. Through it all, Abdel-Gawad's fellow musicians stay with him every step of the way, never missing a beat. This is one of the tightest, well-coordinated musical units I have ever had the pleasure of listening to."
"A soul-stirring blend of classical, instrumental, Arabic tunes are Riad Abdel-Gawad's trademark. A classical release of creative proportions!"
"Thus, understandably there a few contextually daring moments in this CD. In general, El Tarab El Aseel holds up well to its ideals, as the work puts a strong foot forward in bringing a taste of inventiveness to long-standing Arab genres."
"will listen to Riad with a different 'ear' than the casual aficionado of Middle Eastern music. Nevertheless, it's an amazing instrumental collection of four very long compositions that do not require a doctorate in order to appreciate it. A classic release!"
"Western jazz and blues modes often connect naturally to the ancient Arabic styles of composition and improvisation, and Abdel- Gawad's command of both worlds lends his music a taste of the ecstatic and the avant-garde."

Hi guys,
I have an issue with the position of the post on the home page with delicate theme.
While adding a page I can choose to display it on half of the screen because I have a right column, when I add a post I can't choose this option and the post will display directly Full Width, messing up the right column in the home page that slides on the bottom (so, theoretically, when i'll have 10 post i won't be able to see the right column) :\ .
Can't the right column just stay independently on the right on the Home Page, with the posts piling on the left side of the screen?
Can't do it, please help...

Democrats' New Worry: Their Own Rich Voters
A group of Democrats elected in recent years from some of the country's richest congressional districts have emerged as a stumbling block to raising taxes on the wealthy to pay for President Barack Obama's ambitious health-care overhaul just as the plan has begun to meet increasing resistance over its cost.
Friday, two freshmen representatives -- Dina Titus, from suburban Las Vegas, and Colorado's Jared Polis, representing Boulder, Vail and some of the tonier suburbs of Denver -- joined Republicans to vote against Mr. Obama's top-priority health-care overhaul when it faced a vote in their House Education and Labor Committee. One reason was a one-percentage point-surtax on couples earning between $350,000 and $500,000 -- gradually increasing to 5.4 percentage points on earnings more than $1 million -- to pay for it.
The bill passed the committee anyway, but if the number of Democratic defectors grows it could pose a serious obstacle to the president.
Also on Friday a busload of freshmen Democrats went to the White House to plead their case against sharp tax increases with the president and his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel. The organizer was Rep. Gerald Connolly, the president of the freshman class whose Northern Virginia district is the richest in the U.S. as measured by median household income.
"There could come a time," said Rep. Michael McMahon, a freshman Democrat from New York City's borough of Staten Island, when Democrats are in open rebellion. "We will certainly see in the next few weeks where we are going."
Election gains in some of these affluent regions have helped give Democrats big majorities in the House and Senate. Of the 25 richest districts, 14 are represented by Democrats, according to Congressional Quarterly. In 1995, Democrats represented just five of those districts.
Nobody likes paying taxes, but the revenue must come from somewhere.
— Philip Schantz
Recently elected Democrats from higher-income areas also have been cautious about legislation that would make it easier for labor unions to organize, and about legislation imposing tough new rules on banks. Republicans have savaged the new Democrats for supporting legislation to stem global warming by capping greenhouse-gas emissions, then forcing polluters to purchase and trade emissions credits -- a "cap and tax," the GOP says.
But planned tax increases are likely the source of the toughest intra-Democratic tensions. The president wants to allow George W. Bush's income-tax cuts to expire in 2011 for families earning at least $250,000 and to stop the estate tax from being repealed next year. Mr. Obama also campaigned on putting an additional payroll tax of two to four percentage points on incomes above $250,000 to help put Social Security back on solid footing. As the president confronts a surging budget deficit and presses his ambitious agenda, all those tax increases may be necessary to make ends meet.
All together, Democratic plans could push the top tax rate to 47%, the highest level since the tax code was rewritten in 1986.
Republicans remain strongly unified in their opposition to the president, who has promised not only to create a national health-care plan, ease the nation away from fossil fuels and overhaul education, but also to pay for it all -- largely through higher taxes and other fees.
Strong Democratic majorities, especially in the House, give the White House plenty of latitude. But if wary freshmen team with the more seasoned centrists in the fiscally conservative Blue Dog Democrat coalition, who are threatening the health bill in the House Energy and Commerce Committee, the coalition could be formidable.
The White House defends its approach. "The bottom line is that I think the president believes that the richest 1% of this country has had a pretty good run of it for many, many, many years," said White House spokesman Robert Gibbs.
Mr. Connolly, the Northern Virginia representative, has a different calculation. Households earning at least $200,000 represent 14% of his district, "and they all vote," he said.
"They're just hanging themselves," says Republican Rep. Sam Graves, who last year beat back a spirited challenge in his northwestern Missouri district, which includes suburban Kansas City, and said he is looking forward to a race on taxes in 2010.
The tax issue is presenting many new Democrats with a quandary as they struggle to get their political footing. "These members are going to have to make their own determinations on how to balance these interests," said Maryland Rep. Chris Van Hollen, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and himself a representative of the affluent suburbs of Washington.
The issue of taxes has long bedeviled Democratic candidates, but in 2008, Mr. Obama took control of it. He campaigned hard on tax cuts for the middle class, savaged as a tax increase Republican Sen. John McCain's proposal to subject the value of health-insurance benefits to income taxation, and convinced most Americans they would be unaffected even as he said he would allow taxes to rise on the rich.
But as Democrats who served in Congress in 1994 will attest, the game changes when abstractions on taxing the rich turn to reality. President Bill Clinton's 1993 deficit-reduction plan largely focused tax increases on the rich, but the collateral damage on Democrats was broad. And nobody wants to be the next Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, the suburban Philadelphia House freshman who cast the deciding vote on the Clinton budget, only to be swept from office the next year.
"I never should have been asked to take that vote, ever," said Ms. Margolies-Mezvinsky, who now runs Women's Campaign International, a Philadelphia-based group with a mission to empower women politically.
Since the 1994 GOP sweep, districts like Ms. Margolies-Mezvinsky's have swung back to the Democrats. For 14 years, Republican Tom Davis represented most of Northern Virginia's Fairfax and Prince William counties. Now, Fairfax and Prince William belong to Mr. Connolly. Rep. John Hall took over the Hudson River Valley suburbs of New York after defeating veteran Republican Sue Kelly in 2006.
Boulder's Mr. Polis authored a letter on Friday, signed by 21 freshmen and one sophomore, Rep. Paul Hodes of New Hampshire, opposing the surtaxes. "Especially in a recession, we need to make sure not to kill the goose that will lay the golden eggs of our recovery," they declared.
For now, most freshmen aren't saying how they will vote on the House health-care bill. Mr. McMahon, whose New York district also includes parts of Brooklyn, said there is no open revolt, but there have been two meetings with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and there was the White House meeting Friday with Messrs. Obama and Emanuel. Taxes dominated what Mr. Connolly described as a cordial but inconclusive discussion.
"I spend all my time here making the case that the profile of the rich doesn't stand in my district," Mr. McMahon said. "People feel that they're getting hit from all sides."

Director: Akiva Goldsman
Running time: 118 mins Released: 21st February 2014
About A New York Winter's Tale
Set in a mythical New York City where magic happens and love carries across decades, this is a fairytale-like drama bogged down by leaden dialogue and an overdose of sentiment. Winsome heiress Beverly Pen (Jessica Brown Findlay) suffers from tuberculosis and yearns for some excitement in her life. One night she catches dashing, seemingly immortal petty thief Peter Lake (Colin Farrell) trying to rob her family's mansion and despite the circumstances they have an immediate emotional connection. But Peter is being hunted by Pearly Soames (Russell Crowe), a soldier for the Devil who runs a financial corporation with spies everywhere. Decades later Peter is still in New York and while he courts a reporter (Jennifer Connelly), he hasn't forgotten Beverly.

New Music Fundraisers for the Week
People in Seattle are quick to act on helping throw benefit shows. Case in point, Ms. Kerri Harrop emailed around the following list of what music-related charitable events would love your hard-earned cash (for hurricane relief) this week:
Our friends at Neumo's will be celebrating the opening of the newly remodeled back bar this evening with a benefit for the Humane Society. Good Samaritan Edward Bender will be playing records and representatives from the Humane Society and ASPCA will be on hand to accept donations and let you know what you can do to help the countless stranded animals affected by the hurricane. Sales of High Life will also be donated to the cause.
The bad boys and girls at the Viceroy will also be raising money tonight at Low Life, the craziest Tuesday night in town. This special edition will feature Crunk Life from 9-11pm and DJs Fourcolorzack and N8 will be spinning all the Dirty South cuts. The Viceory will raise its price of High Life bottles to $2 this evening to maximize donation potential; all sales will benefit the Red Cross.
Talented and kind-hearted photographer Charles Peterson has been overwhelmed with generous support for his offer of providing you with a limited edition photograph of Kurt Cobain in exchange for a minimum donation of $200. He has reached his goal of 50 and has extended the offer to another 25. Once he reaches that limit, he will have raised more than $15,000 in donations, which is truly amazing. Let me know if you would like to participate and I will forward the information your way.
Our friend "Uncle" Phil Pickens is hosting a fun and potentially sexy night at the Eagle this Thursday, September 7. His "Take It Off For Charity" event will feature hipsters, socialites, rockers, and party people wearing t-shirts that you can literally buy off their backs. Phil is still looking for participants, I'll let him explain:
"Here's the deal. You wear a cool, older tee (band tee, designer tee, cheesy tee) that people might be interested in. We auction it off then - here's the tricky part - you take it off and give it to the winner. I'll be auctioning off my BUSH HATING FAGGOT Tee. Since this is the 'shirtless' night at the Eagle, I thought it would be fun to invite everyone - gay, straight, boy, girl to give it up for charity. You don't have to run around half naked all night or anything - just bring another tee and put it on after your tee is auctioned off." Contact Phil if you wanna get on board, all money raised goes to hurricane relief. Phil: firstname.lastname@example.com
DJ Scorpio continues his non-stop fundraising efforts tonight at Linda's, where he'll be spinning records and collecting donations. Linda's is generously matching all donations received at the bar, all money goes to hurricane relief. You can also catch Scorpio and DJ Whiplash at their weekly Thursday night, "Psychotropic," at the Whisky Bar. Throw some money in their tip jar; all donations go to the Red Cross.

I request a mis trial of WR Grace vs The People they murdered of Libby Mt.They got away with knowingly poisoning a entire town and millions sick and dying today.USA is a disGrace to We the People for allowing this and doing nothing to protect the People.Can we say Holocaust.
#2 Feb 17, 2012
I'm still so entertained by your responses. I sometimes ca't get up from laughing so hard.
You understand that a mis trial can only be called during the trial. In the case of WR Grace back in 2009 there was almost a mis trial called. You recall there was a government agent who got too friendly with one of the ex grace employees who was providing documentation to the government. Grace found out and challenged all of the documentation he presented in court. In any case I don't think WR Grace would be the problem here. The main issues is the lack of any worker protection in Montana or for that matter, anywhere in the US prior to the mid '80's
I know its hard for you to understand but end of the day there was no laws that Grace was violating during the mines operation in Libby. You can complain all you want about past history - but its just that - past history. All of the issued have been addressed and the people effected by this are getting the help they need. Along with the town determination to get past this, its on its way to becoming one of Montana's destination locations.
Continued good luck with all of your issues and demons.

Editor: It is so sad that we can no longer depend on the information furnished our local news paper. I refer to the June 4th issue of The St. Augustine Record, page 13A. The item, "Q & A How drivers can cut gas bills" was by Joe Bel Bruno, AP Business Writer. He quoted Robert Sinclair Jr., a spokesman for AAA New York: "Another point Sinclair makes is not to let your gas tank get too low -- running on fumes damages the engine, and causes further maintenance problems that could be wasteful to gas." This man is "a spokesman for AAA New York"? Is he ever in the wrong slot. Most any high school student can assure you that when the gasoline (liquid) in the tank is exhausted the car will stop.

Superintendent finalists meet with parents
Wake County parents got the chance to hear from the three finalists during a public forum Tuesday.
M.A.: Did Hillary say in her speech that she was going to somehow "regulate" Wall Street? That seems and odd "promise" for a woman who took $41 million dollars in campaign contributions from Wall Street billionaires! Is Hillary REALLY going to stab her Wall Street buddies in the back or was she just lying to America to get herself elected and then it will be us, the taxpayers of America who find the knife in our backs? And for being the leader of the "party of love", Hillary was pretty negative, heavily criticizing and ridiculing Trump. Is THAT how Hillary's new "Ministry of Love" is going to operate, say one thing and do another? Oh wait, that is what the Democrats always do! In George Orwell's dystopian novel, "1984", the "Ministry of Love" was one of the most feared Gov't organization. It is the one that kicked down doors in the middle of the night, dragged people from their homes and "disappeared" those who did not goose-step to the Gov't rules Big Brother was watching then, If Hillary wins the election will it be "Big Sister" who is watching us?

East Tennessee Foundation is celebrating 25 years of thoughtful giving — neighbors caring for neighbors — in 2011.
To mark the occasion and to demonstrate what it does in its 25-county service area, the Foundation has awarded a $2,500 grant to a nonprofit agency in each of the counties it serves.
The Roane County recipient of the grant is the Roane County Heritage Commission.
The Heritage Commission, established in 1974, was deeded the old historic Roane County Courthouse in Kingston at the time of its founding.
Humor columnist Judy DiGregorio will conduct a workshop on Oct. 29 in the Anderson County United Way office at 161 Robertsville Road, Oak Ridge.
The event, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., is the Tennessee Mountain Writers fall workshop.
Using humorous readings and short writing assignments, DiGregorio will explore the purpose of humor, review the different types and styles of humor, teach participants about what makes people laugh, and identify possible markets for humor writing.
It's autumn in Tennessee, and the state's abundant natural resources are beckoning people to the woods — to hunt, hike or enjoy the beauty of fall foliage.
And that means potential exposure to blacklegged ticks, which could be carrying the bacteria that cause Lyme disease.
At the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture, ecological researchers are engaged in a four-year National Science Foundation-funded study of ticks and the risks they pose for transmitting several diseases.
Rockwood City Council narrowed the list down to three, but officials couldn't get four votes to name a city administrator at their meeting Thursday morning.
"Well back to the drawing board," quipped city councilman Jason Jolly.
The council plans to schedule a meeting in the next week or so to again look at all the candidates, hoping the presence of all six members and time to reassess the candidates might bring out a stronger favorite.
The Roane County Republican Party has called for a primary for next year's county election.
"I don't know if it's the first time for Roane County, but it's the first time in a long time," Administrator of Elections Charles Holiway said. "Normally, Roane County is just the general election in August."
Roane County Republican Party Chairwoman Flo Charles said the decision was made a few weeks ago.
Steven Robinette, a mixed martial arts instructor and former candidate for county property assessor, was involved in an altercation outside a Mexican restaurant in Rockwood on Oct. 19.
According to a Rockwood Police Department report, Robinette showed up at the station at 2:30 a.m., and wanted to talk about an assault that occurred at the restaurant.
"Steven stated he had been inside eating and had gotten into his vehicle," the report said.
While officials have taken retired city recorder Jim Hines to task for the turnaround on the audit, the state has little power to enforce when the municipality completes its audit.
Community members have taken to Facebook to discuss Rockwood recently, and one post by John Evans, Vice Mayor Peggy Evans' son, encouraged people to contact the Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury because of concerns about some of the audit findings and the delay in completion.
Anita King has worked tirelessly with her husband Earle King for 23 years to help elderly East Tennesseans in the Public Guardianship program through the East Tennessee Human Resource Agency.
Her dedication was recently honored with the Outstanding Volunteer in Aging Award at the Southeastern Aging Network Conference in Memphis.
Anita King has done more than 17,000 hours of volunteer service and recruited, organized, trained and supervised 25 Public Guardianship Volunteers, but she believes so many others deserve more credit than she.
There was no surprises last Monday night when the Roane County Commission took up a resolution electing the membership of the budget committee.
The vote to appoint Commissioners Copper Bacon, Bobby Collier, Jerry Goddard and Steve Kelley to the committee was unanimous.
At the September meeting, Roane County Executive Ron Woody said Commissioner Ron Berry shocked him when he abruptly withdrew from consideration when the resolution came up for discussion.
That prompted Woody to withdraw the resolution.
Roane County lawmakers, state Sen. Ken Yager, R-Harriman, and state Rep. Julia Hurley, R-Lenoir City, said last week the bridge over Clinch River on Hwy. 70 has been named the Thomas W. Pickel Jr. Bridge in honor of one of Roane County's distinguished citizens.
The bridge was named in honor of Pickel through an amendment sponsored by Yager to the "Omnibus Transportation Bill" passed during the 2011 legislative session.

Recently, our esteemed board of directors spent over five hours together, going through all the By-laws, policies and procedures of the Spokane Folklore Society. They were able to refresh, update and streamline how we do things. For example, they updated the standing committees to be more in line with our current practices. And, of course, they had plenty of fun hanging out together in folky fellowship.

Cast: Agnes, Cheyenne Jewel, Eva Tores, Kari, Karina (VII), Angel (XVII), Katrin (I), Andrea (VII) (amateur), Violla, Ella (IV) (amateur), Kristyna Blue, Others
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Foreign All-Sex
Sexy college babes! There is nothing hotter than chicks in school uniforms. It's every guy's fantasy to fuck a babe in a plaid skirt with it hiked up around her waist as you mount her for a sexual experience she will never forget. Find someone you like in ATKingdom's latest, Pretty in Plaid. With three hours of scenes, you are to be satisfied.
Over three hours and 11 scenes with a like number of cute young gals make this a super value—especially for viewers whose thing is doing babes wearing plaid ties, skirts and the like. This import hits other personal preferences as well, including some shaving, hairy pussies, solo scenes, huge clits, pounding, glasses and even a 31-year-old (Kristyna Blue) to satisfy folks whose taste leans toward busty MILFS.
Most scenes are solo with some of Europe's most willing and seductive wenches, who mostly speak in halting or memorized English. An exception is Cheyenne Jewel in a boy/girl scene probably shot on this side of the Big Pond. She professes fondness for rough sex, anal and the like, and delivers the goods—perhaps not especially roughly, but with slick, explicit anal. Most wear the plaid throughout their entire scenes and are, indeed, pretty in plaid.

She went donkey on that monkey.
de Elroy Fitz 01 Februarie 2004
A term of identification used for anoyone who can closely imitate the stunned demeanor that donkey kong takes when he receives a serious blow to the head. This shortened form is more easily said in conversation than "donkey kong". D.K. is just too cool to be considered for such a person. Also, it carries connotations of Shrek's sidekick.
Josh Good is donkey. Call him that when you see him on Lycoming Campus and elsewhere.

The toothbrushes slant downward inside the holes.
This tropical fish toothbrush holder is DARLING! I recently refinished my bathroom and added a bit of a tropical theme. It is well made and reasonably priced. The only thing that would make it better would be for it to have a larger hole for the toothpaste. But it satisfies me completely. It adds a nice touch to the decor.
This toothbrush holder matches the fish curtain of our bathroom shower, we are happy about the way it looks, it is sturdy and colorful.
This is the cutest toothbrush holder I have ever bought, love, love, love it.
This is lovely and heavier than I expected. However, I would not place it in a child's bathroom. It is glass and I am concerned about breakage. It is beautiful in our guest/pool bath and is a charming accent.
If you don't examine this too closely, it looks great. The painting is a little sloppy, but my kids love it. The downside, the holes are too small for a toddler toothbrush (we had to make them bigger). The rest of the matching set is really nice.
Cute toothbrush holder. Only one hole can accommodate the latest tooth brushes
This is an absolutely adorable toothbrush holder. It looks wonderful in my bathroom. Make sure you want it in the size shown as it may be larger than you expect. I love ot!

The Milwaukee Brewers weren't the only team playing a must-win game Friday night.
The South Milwaukee Rockets also had their backs against the wall, but they disposed of Whitnall a little more easily than the local baseball team. The Rockets wore down the host Falcons, 28-14, to improve to 5-3 overall and 4-3 in the Woodland Conference Black Division and clinch a playoff berth.
"It was absolutely a must-win game if we're going to get to where we want to be," South Milwaukee head coach John Galewski said. "I was really pleased with the way we played tonight. We were really physical, and I'm just extremely proud of our performance."
With 2:48 left in the first half, South Milwaukee broke a scoreless tie with a 7-yard run from senior running back Mat Tagye. But the killer for Whitnall came just a minute later, when Tagye scored again on a 41-yard screen pass that exploited an overaggressive defense. A defensive battle was suddenly a 14-0 South Milwaukee advantage at halftime.
"The screen pass broke our back," Whitnall head coach Rob Leboeuf said. "We had a blitz on, we should have checked out of it, we didn't, and they easily scored. If we don't give that up, things could have been a lot more interesting than they were."
The Rockets stopped the Falcons again to start the third quarter and gained a 21-0 edge on senior running back Trevor Stauner's 5-yard touchdown run.
Stauner, who also plays linebacker, said it was the biggest game of the Rockets' season.
Stauner, who also plays linebacker, said it was the biggest game of the Rockets' season.
"It was fantastic," Stauner said. "Yeah, you get a little tired (playing two ways), but who cares? You have to have heart. I felt like tonight was the turning point in our season. There was a little extra pressure, but I thought going into the half up two touchdowns was big. The score before half was a turning point."
On its next possession, Whitnall drove 63 yards to the South Milwaukee 2-yard line, where it faced a critical fourth down. A bad snap sailed over senior quarterback Luke Mentkowski's head and the Rockets took over on downs.
"We have three offensive linemen get hurt tonight," Leboeuf said. "That's a backup center we had in there. God bless him, he fights his butt off. But we're undersized. We're not deep on the line to begin with, and we don't have big kids at this school."
Whitnall scored its first points in the final quarter when the Rockets were forced to punt from their own 19-yard line. The Falcons blocked the punt, and junior Zach Sutton recovered it in the end zone for a touchdown.
However, any hope of a comeback was dashed when Stauner rumbled into the end zone again just two minutes later from 10 yards out. In the waning minutes, Whitnall scored again on a 2-yard run from senior Travis Karweik, but a failed onside kick allowed the Rockets to run out the clock.
"I give all the credit to the teams we've played," Leboeuf said. "They've been more physical than us, they're more talented than us in some areas, but we play on with the kids we have. Sometimes we're just not good enough, but I'll tell you this; it's not for a lack of trying."
Tagye and Stauner towed most of the load for South Milwaukee, combining for 228 all-purpose yards on 35 touches and four touchdowns. Whitnall's aerial attack was impressive in a losing effort. Junior Sam Mentkowski had a game-high 10 catches for 105 yards, while senior Stephen Pelkofer added eight catches for 76 yards. Luke Mentkowski finished 22-of-33 for 183 yards for Whitnall.
South Milwaukee wraps up its regular season next Friday when it hosts winless Thomas More. Stauner said the Rockets aren't overlooking anyone and want to the end the regular season strong.
"We have to go hard from the first play of the game," Stauner said. "When we're hitting our blocks and playing the way we're capable of, I feel like we're unstoppable."
Despite falling to 3-5 and 3-4 in conference play, Whitnall can qualify for the playoffs with a win at home against Pewaukee (6-2, 6-1 Woodland-Blue) on Friday.
"We will bounce back, I promise you that," Leboeuf said. "And we will give Pewaukee everything they can handle."

Sorry, Jaden Smith, but to a generation of moviegoers, the Karate Kid will always be Daniel-san, a.k.a. Ralph Macchio, the star of the original "Karate Kid." Released 30 years ago this week (on June 22, 1984), "The Karate Kid" hit pop culture with the force of a flying-crane kick to the chin. It launched a franchise that included three sequels (as well as Smith's 2010 reboot), made stars out of Macchio and Elisabeth Shue, earned an Oscar nomination for Noriyuki "Pat" Morita as the wise and gentle Mr. Miyagi, and stands up today as a great family film and one of the most inspirational sports dramas ever made.
Even so, many of its principals were never able to escape completely from the film's shadow. Macchio, for one, will always be remembered first and foremost for his role as bullied teen-turned-karate champ Daniel LaRusso – especially since, 30 years later, he still looks like the boyish high schooler he played then. Here's what became of Daniel and the rest of the "Karate Kid" stars, and how their careers have waxed on and waxed off over the years.
Gallery | The 'Karate Kid' Cast: Where Are They Now?
- Ralph Macchio ('Daniel LaRusso')
- Ralph Macchio ('Daniel LaRusso')
The Huntington, N.Y.-born Macchio was already 21 and well out of high school when he made "The Karate Kid." He'd earned some fame in the pivotal role of tragic greaser Johnny in 1983's "The Outsiders," but his lead role in "Karate Kid" made him a household name. In addition to the second and third "Karate Kid" movies, Macchio went on to star in the films "Crossroads" and "My Cousin Vinny." Over the past 20 years, however, Macchio has gotten the most mileage out of playing himself, in memorable episodes of "Entourage" and "How I Met Your Mother." He briefly returned to the big screen with a small role in 2012's "Hitchcock" as "Psycho" scribe Joseph Stefano. Now 52, he's due back in theaters this year in the feature "A Little Game."
- Elisabeth Shue ('Ali')
- Elisabeth Shue ('Ali')
Shue, who grew up in South Orange, N.J., had been working in TV commercials when she made her movie debut at 20 in "The Karate Kid" as Ali, Daniel's love interest. She became a popular young female lead in films for the rest of the decade, including "Adventures in Babysitting," "Cocktail," and the two "Back to the Future" sequels. In the 1990s, she continued to play ingénue parts in such films as "The Marrying Man" and "Soapdish," but she blew viewers away by playing against type in 1995's "Leaving Las Vegas," where she played a wrenching role as the prostitute who falls for a self-destructive Nicolas Cage, earning herself an Oscar nomination in the process. Since then, her roles have been more varied, from standard love-interest fare ("The Saint") to offbeat dramatic parts ("Cousin Bette," "Molly") to thriller heroines ("Hollow Man," "Hide and Seek," "Piranha 3D"). In 2007, she produced and co-starred in the autobiographical sports drama "Gracie," in which she played a character based on her own mother; the film was directed by her husband, Davis Guggenheim ("An Inconvenient Truth"). For the past couple years, Shue has been a regular on TV"s long-running "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation." Now 50, she is due to return to films this fall alongside Selena Gomez in the comedy "Behaving Badly."
- William Zabka ('Johnny')
- William Zabka ('Johnny')
New York City-born Billy Zabka was 18 when he made his screen debut as Johnny, Ali's ex-boyfriend and the leader of the Cobra Kai gang that harasses Daniel in "The Karate Kid." Thereafter, he seemed typecast as school bullies, in such comedies as "Just One of the Guys" and "Back to School." After appearing in a variety of low-budget action thrillers, Zabka turned to directing. His 2003 short "Most" earned an Oscar nomination for Best Live Action Short Film. He also directed a variety of parodic music videos, including Rascal Flatts' "Why Wait" and No More Kings' "Sweep the Leg" (in which Zabka also appeared, paying homage to his "Karate Kid" role and reuniting with co-stars Macchio and Martin Kove). In fact, Zabka has spent a lot of time in recent years sending up his old roles, including making a cameo in "Hot Tub Time Machine" and playing himself on several episodes of "How I Met Your Mother" (in which Neil Patrick Harris' Barney sees Zabka as a role model). The 48-year-old's most recent feature film is another inspirational sports drama, "Produce," which has been playing at film festivals this spring.
- Martin Kove ('John Kreese')
- Martin Kove ('John Kreese')
Brooklyn native Kove spent a decade in action roles on film and TV before landing at 36 the career-defining role in "Karate Kid" as John Kreese, the sneering Cobra Kai sensei whose dojo is a studio for a dirtier, more brutal form of martial arts than the spiritually enlightened karate that Mr. Miyagi teaches Daniel. In addition to reprising his role in the first two "Karate Kid" sequels, Kove continued to play hard-nosed men of action in such films as "Rambo: First Blood Part II," "Steele Justice," and Kevin Costner's "Wyatt Earp." Having spoofed his "Karate Kid" role in the Billy Zabka-directed music video for No More Kings' "Sweep the Leg," the 67-year-old Kove is due back on screen this year in "The Extendables," a parody of certain recent movies by certain aging action stars.
- Randee Heller ('Lucille')
- Randee Heller ('Lucille')
Like Kove, Heller was a 36-year-old actor from Brooklyn when she landed the biggest movie role of her career in "The Karate Kid," playing Daniel's fiercely loving single mother. Before that, she was best known for her role as Alice on "Soap," TV's first recurring openly lesbian character. As Lucille LaRusso, Heller appeared in the first and third "Karate Kid" films. Besides small roles in such films as "Bulworth" and "Monster-in-Law," Heller has appeared in guest roles on numerous TV series, including recurring roles on "Fame," "Midnight Caller," "Popular," "Judging Amy," and "In Plain Sight." She enjoyed renewed fame in 2010 with her recurring role on "Mad Men" as ancient, wisecracking secretary Miss Blankenship, a performance that earned her an Emmy nomination. Now 67, Heller most recently acted in a 2013 guest spot on ABC's "Modern Family."
- Noriyuki 'Pat' Morita ('Mr. Miyagi')
- Noriyuki 'Pat' Morita ('Mr. Miyagi')
At the time of "The Karate Kid"'s release, TV audiences already knew California-bred comedian Morita, then 52, for his recurring role as malt shop owner Arnold on "Happy Days." He was not known for drama, but the role of Daniel's mentor earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, as well as return visits to the role in three sequels. Over the next two decades, he remained in demand and appeared in dozens of movies and TV shows – most memorably, "Honeymoon in Vegas," "Spy Hard," "Mulan," and "The Center of the World." He died of kidney failure in 2005 at age 73, but he had done so much voiceover work that his last projects (including an episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants") continued to trickle out for another six years.

"Ghosts and Red Devils and killer sorority sisters! Oh, my! That's pretty much the gist of Tuesday's Scream Queens. Not only were there multiple deaths, but a ton of major questions were answered. Thank goodness. "
Raze (2014)
"Violent beyond belief, bloody and yet a bloody-good time, Raze is a fun one for fans of hard action and well-choreographed bare-knuckle fight scenes. "
The Hunt (2013)
"Though its theme is hardly a happy subject, this thought-provoking Danish drama on the false accusation of child abuse is nonetheless extra-highly recommended "
Red 2 (2013)
"It's WMD vs. the AARP in the pale Red 2. "
The Invisible Woman (2013)
"It's worth a look for the acting and the accoutrements. "
American Hustle (2013)
"This is one you'll want to hustle to see on the big screen. "
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
"Based on the best-selling memoir of the same name, this funny, irreverent, poignant, fast-paced and fun flick is well worth the investment. "
Tim's Vermeer (2014)
"Like a combination of the Penn & Teller: Bulls***! TV series and an extended episode of MythBusters as presented by an alternate History Channel comes Tim's Vermeer - a truly fascinating documentary. "
Saving Mr. Banks (2013)
"Peerless performances stayed with solid cinematography, a stirring score, and especially dishy dialogue, make Saving Mr. Banks is a solid biopic. "
Cars 2 (2011)
"This is also one of the most violent Pixar films, with cars being shot at, thrown into the ocean to drown and dying. Yes, dying. It tries to be a Bond film, but when was the last time you let your five-year-old watch one of those? "
The Tree of Life (2011)
"...like watching the most attractive person you've ever seen in your life tell the most boring, drawn-out story you've ever heard. It made me want to grab Malick by the shoulders and yell, "Focus!" "
Fast Five (2011)
"Making sure the audience knows that the writers ''get it'' with a little humor and some crazy action makes the silliness easy to forgive and fun to watch. "
Take Me Home Tonight (2011)
"It's not high art. It's not going to move you to save the world. But if you like films from that era, you'll be laughing your ass off. "
The Adjustment Bureau (2011)
"Damon and Blunt have so much chemistry, the screen practically melts when they look at each other. "
Unknown (2011)
"I hesitate to be this brutal, but there is really no way around it. January Jones was just terrible. She barely moves her face, she seemingly has no emotion, even during a life or death moment, and her scenes with Neeson were just...creepy. "
The Eagle (2011)
"Channing Tatum, with his usual deadpan expression, can't decide if he's going to speak normally or try out that British accent he learned in school. He floats back and forth between them and it's a disaster. "
True Grit (2010)
"What you don't get from the commercials is how wonderfully funny it is. Of course, you expect something like this from the Coen brothers. In True Grit, they deliver what they normally do, which is a fantastic mix of humor and, you'll forgive me here, grit. "
Standing Still (2005)
"The only more apropos title might have been: Standing Still While Talking. "
Gay Purr-ee (1962)
"Gay Purr-ee is pure gaiety. "
