i want my own brake lathe
i want my own brake lathe. does anybody out there have one of their own? how much did it run? where can i get a used one cheaper?
Are you wanting one to turn rotors? At the price of rotors nowadays it is just as cheap to go buy new ones, than to go through the hassel of having them turned and risking warpage. You can't turn a flywheel either, they need surface ground. But if you are wanting one...good luck with your search I am sure that you could find one collecting dust at most brake shops around.
Brake lathes are nice to have. 25 years ago, I got a heck of a deal on an a bunch of Aamco stuff. A combo-lathe, Little Hustler rotor lathe, a shoe- arcing grinder and all the tooling that went with them. I found 'em in the paper for $2500 and drove 150 miles as fast as I could to get 'em. Back then I was heavy off into brakes and I made a killing, on the weekends doing carry-in rotors and drums. six years went by and I got burnt out in the brake business and wanted a boat, so I sold the whole works to a local machine shop for a thousand dollars more than I paid for them.
Even though they took up a lot of room on my wall, I still regret, every time I spend 15.00 on a rotor turn. Shoe-arcing grinders, these days, are nothing more than boat anchors and most all imports and domestics have throw-away rotors that can be replaced for little more than what it costs to turn the old ones. I thought I would beat the trend and peddle my stuff while it was still worth something. What I didn't realize is there will always be a need for them, especially when I like dealing with a lot of the older stuff.
I miss my brake equipment like I miss my old dog.
At $50+ a pop for most drums I'd hardly call them throw aways. It pays to hang on to old drums and scour the jyd for good ones, especially the aluminum drums off of '80s GM cars.
One a separate note, I had to show the kid at the shop in Social Circle how to mount the drums and operate the lathe so I wouldn't have to drive 30 miles to get them done.
drums and rotors
I agree,, I would rather turn a gm ford or mopar rotor rather then buy a $18.00 china replacement. I have used those low dollar replacements with out any issues tho...... It's just my preference....
Spinn,,, just keep you evey on the public sales and e-bay etc you can come up with something at a good price that should get you rolling....
I had an Ammco 4000 series combination drum and brake lathe. I sold it in November. The real problem with it is the fact that new cars have such thin rotors on them that many times you are better off to go with new ones, and you can buy new ones mighty cheap.
Many new rotors are "composite" and require special fasteners ($$$) to properly set them up.
You can buy a used Ammco for around 1500.00 bucks with standard cone set, but you need more than that and it still takes time to turn rotors.
O'reilly's turns mine for six bucks each. That's the way I do it now, I let them turn em, and I just bolt em on.
As far as I know, all Ford rotors are turnable. I worked for the dealer for a little bit, and I never heard of any rotors that we couldn't turn. So that could be a good part of your side jobs.
I gotta imagine most GMs are the same.
If you are buying it for yourself and family cars, I wouldn't waste the money unless you find one for really cheap.
If you are going to make a small part time business off of it, then it might be worthwhile. Although what can you really charge to turn them? $10 a piece max I would think.
check industrial auctions, thats were we get most of our stuff. what do you want one for cause they are not cheap. you might get lucky and find a little engine lathe for around $500, but then you have to find a way to bring it to your house, and they usually take 220 volts. where are you located, i might be able to help you out.
PS those auctions are good for more than just lathes, most machine shops have mills, welders, plasma cutter, even cars. a while ago i posted a thread on a auction in Michigan with racing motors and all sorts of tools and what not but no one responded, i bet whom ever went got a lot of stuff for cheap.
If the rotors on a newer front wheel drive, mid size to compact car is the least bit scored, the way I look at it, it's junk. Manufacturers have minimum reconditioning thicknesses on rotors.The solid rotors that come on just about all front wheel drive cars these days are already almost there. Most of them have little to no way to dissipate the heat - they're solid. That' combined with the Hard-as-a-rock metallic pads that come as OEM equipment on these cars usually tears up the rotors big time. Once the two surfaces on a rotor get out of parallel even .005, you can expect major pedal hop and pulsation while braking, before the pads are even half worn out, the second time around.
I've got my own rule of thumb on turning these newer rotors. If they don't clean up by the time .010 comes off each side of 'em they get replaced. I used to take all my 'dead soldier' rotors to the swap meet and peddle 'em for beer money but it just made me feel WAY to guilty... They sold too well.
Ok, sorry. I'll be clearer. What I meant was that while rotors may be cheap the drums are not, so it pays to hang on to the machines and the old drums.
I do realize the value and appeal of vintage Buick finned aluminum drums and I am aware of the fact that they were made well before the '80s, however, I have never seen them in a junkyard full of '80s GM midsize cars so I didn't feel that it was necessary to mention them in my post.
Excuhuuhuuuse me for not being crystal clear .
i would use it for sidework. i had napa turn mine and they turned them in groovy records. or they will tell me there at min thickness. bs i mic'ed em. i worked with lathes for years. they do a fantastic job. you get those cheap china rotors that are warped out of the box. i have been a fan of the factory rotors or parts in general.
a mill and a plasma cutter those i could use too. TOYS
Spinn,If you are looking for something for imports.I bought my lathe off ebay.It is the snap-on quick lathe that the dealers use.I think I paid 600 or 700.It beat the new price.It works fine.If I can,t turn them on the car then I go to a parts store too.I agree I like turning them myself also.
we have those at acura. jack the car up and let the engine turn the wheel. they cut well and you dont mess with the flange, so its true on the hub. i like the fully size for the versatility

text: 1 Just awful.AaronONeill | 30/11/2008 | See all AaronONeill's reviews (1)My friend recommended this to me over Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2.. . .and I can honestly say this game is truely awful. The gameplay mechanics are slow and boring. The weapons look and feel terrible and the A.I is poor.The levels are linear and tedious, and the game get's very repetitive.The multiplayer is even worse. . . lag is hideous, and on top of all that you spawn within inches of the enemy so it's "Spawn. . . Die. . . Spawn. . . Die. . ."etc etc. As you spawn you can see the enemy looking at you and you know your not making it through 2 seconds of action so the second your screen becomes active your already being shot dead.Don't waste your money - Bioshock is currently available for the same price and is in a totally different league.Please don't waste the £18.

VISITATION-REPORT (UPDATED) Jan-11-2012 (810 words) With photo posted Jan. 10. xxxn
Three-year study of women religious completed; Vatican reviews results
By Dennis Sadowski
Catholic News Service
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- A three-year study of U.S. women religious called for by the Vatican has been completed with the final comprehensive report recently sent to Rome.
No details of the findings in what the church calls an apostolic visitation were released by Mother Mary Clare Millea, superior general of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the apostolic visitator appointed by the Vatican to undertake the study.
Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, Vatican spokesman, confirmed Jan. 10 that reports had been received by the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life "and is now studying them."
"At this time, it is premature to expect comments from the congregation," he said.
The Vatican spokesman said the congregation is expected "to make known its evaluation of the results of the visit" at some future date.
The apostolic visitation office in Hamden, Conn., did not respond to several requests for an interview.
In a Jan. 9 press release, the visitation office said a comprehensive report was sent to Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin, the congregation's secretary. In addition, the release said, Mother Clare had submitted most of the reports on each of the nearly 400 religious congregations in the U.S. and continues to work on completing them by spring, the release said.
Mother Clare said in the release that the visitation "generated widespread interest."
"The attention to it has resulted in a renewed appreciation for the role of religious in the church and society and has increased dialogue and mutual awareness among the various communities in the United States," she said. "These tangible benefits of the visitation will continue to be realized."
The visitation was initiated in December 2008 by Cardinal Franc Rode, then prefect of the congregation who has since retired. He cited the desire to learn why the number of members in U.S. religious communities had declined since the late 1960s and to look at the quality of life for some 67,000 women religious as prime reasons for the investigation.
As the process began, the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, which represents about 95 percent of U.S. women religious, questioned what its officials considered a lack of full disclosure about what motivated the visitation. They also objected to the plan to keep the orders from seeing the final reports.
The decision to conduct the visitation, combined with the subsequent announcement that the LCWR would undergo a doctrinal assessment by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, cast a shadow over the work of women religious.
As the apostolic visitation and doctrinal assessment were carried out, both were conducted with little formal comment from the parties involved. Privately, however, some sisters and leaders of religious orders questioned why the two inquiries were being undertaken and they expressed concern that their ministries, often among people on the margins of society, were being misunderstood by church leaders.
Cardinal Rode subsequently said in a statement released by the Vatican that he hoped the visitation process would encourage vocations and "assure a better future for women religious."
In an interview on Vatican Radio after the statement's release, Cardinal Rode said some media presented the investigation "as if it were an act of mistrust of American female religious congregations or as if it were a global criticism of their work. It is not."
Cardinal Rode also asked the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to help cover the cost of the visitation, which was estimated at $1 million.
The visitation process began with meetings between Mother Clare and 127 superior generals. It was followed up with the distribution of a questionnaire to the religious orders. Topics covered were related to the life and operation of the orders: identity; governance; vocation promotion, admission and formation policies; spiritual life and common life; mission and ministry; and finances.
Once the information was collected and compiled, teams of visitors fanned across the country throughout 2010 to meet with congregational leaders as well as individual members of religious orders. About 90 congregations were visited by dozens of volunteers.
Archbishop Tobin, an American, became congregation secretary in October 2010. He told
Catholic News Service
last August that the congregation would review all of the visitation reports when received and that its responses to the participating religious communities would be marked by dialogue and would be a step toward healing.
Bishop Leonard P. Blair of Toledo, Ohio, was appointed apostolic visitator for the assessment of LCWR. He completed his report in July 2010.
Sister Annmarie Sanders, LCWR director of communications, told CNS in late December that the last contact the organization had with Vatican officials occurred when its leadership team made its annual visit to Rome April 27-May 4.
"They (the team) were informed that the congregation had no new questions," said Sister Annmarie, a member of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. "That's the last communication we've had."

I apologize for not posting this sooner. I saved it as a draft because I needed to look up the recipe for the banana bread and then I forgot about it completely. I made this for dessert for Mother's Day. It was delicious, although I prefer it with chocolate chips and walnuts.
Banana Bread
Joy of Cooking
1 1/3 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
5 1/3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup mashed, very ripe bananas (2)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 6-cup loaf pan.
Sift together the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together on high speed until lightened in color and texture, 2-3 minutes. Beat in the flour mixture until blended and the consistency of brown sugar. Gradually beat in the two eggs. Fold in the banana and walnuts and chocolate chips (if using) until just combined.
Scrape the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50-60 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes then unmold and allow to cool completely on the rack.

Parking garage builders present vision
Date: December 16, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The contractor and architect hired to design and build the Palm Avenue parking garage have been making the rounds this week to build support for their vision.
Michael Beaumier, vice president of Suffolk Construction, and Chris Gallagher, architect with Jonathan Parks Architect, appeared before both the Downtown Improvement District and Downtown Sarasota Alliance this week ask both groups to back its idea for the garage.
Suffolk wants to build a cast-in-place garage as opposed to pre-cast. The difference, explained Beaumier, is that cast-in-place allows for local labor because the closest pre-cast facility is in Tampa and also more design flexibility.
Beaumier said in the current economy there are no savings, as there traditionally are, with pre-cast.
The builders want a new façade with vertical window openings instead of the horizontal ones the city initially suggested because it will make the garage more appealing visually, Gallagher said.
They also would like to plan for the possibility of three additional floors on top of the five-level garage.
Beaumier said if a hotel is eventually built in the vacant space next to the garage, the three additional floors could house a restaurant or convention space that could be connected to the hotel.
The garage plan will be presented to the Community Redevelopment Agency Dec. 17. Both the DID and the DSA voted to recommend the CRA accept the contractor's recommendations.
Construction is expected to begin April 1, 2010, and be complete by December 2010.

of four Orma some money from which they could contribute to a community pot and keep the rest. Ensminger would then double the pot and divide it equally among the four players. When she described the game to her Kenyan assistants, they quickly replied that it was just like harambee—a practice of soliciting contributions for community projects.
"That really changed our thinking a lot about what was going on when people are in an experiment," Camerer told me in one of our conversations at Caltech. "In game theory, the bias we inherited was the mathematician's bias." In other words, the initial belief was that "when you present the game, it's like a smart kid sitting down to play Monopoly or poker…. They read the rules, figure out what to do—they treat it as like a logic problem. But these subjects treat it as like analogical reasoning—what is this like in my life?"13
So what the game theory experiments have shown is that life differs in different cultures, and economic behavior reflects those differences in cultural life. Game theory has consequently illuminated the interplay of culture and economic behavior, showing that humankind does not subscribe to a one-size-fits-all mentality. Human culture is not monolithic—it's like a mixed strategy in game theory.
In an intriguing way, this diversity in cultural behavior around the world parallels the multiplicity of versions of "human nature" found within various academic disciplines. When I visited Boyd in his office—on the third floor of Haines Hall on the UCLA campus—our discussion turned to that problem in pursuing the general notion of human nature and the basic principles of human behavior. Boyd lamented the academic world's fragmented and inconsistent view of how people tick.
"We have this weird, I think untenable, situation in the social sciences," he said. "You go over to Bunch Hall and the economists tell the students one thing. And the students come over here to sociology, one floor down, and they get told no, that's all wrong, this is right. And they come up here, and we anthropologists tell them all kinds of different things…. And then they go to the

Adconion Direct Sponsors IAB & Winterberry's Landmark Study Showing Omnichannel Marketing On The Rise
SAN DIEGO, June 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Adconion Direct ( http://www.adconiondirect.com), an industry leader in cross channel digital advertising spanning display, video, mobile, email and social media, sponsored a first-of-its-kind report examining customer engagement strategies in Omnichannel marketing in association with the IAB and Winterberry Group. The study, " Taking Cues From the Customer: 'Omnichannel' and the Drive for Audience Engagement," is based on an online and telephone survey of more than 120 senior executives from top advertisers, agencies and publishers spanning virtually all segments of the marketing ecosystem. Of those, 82.4% said they intend to invest in coordinated campaigns across broadcast and print media, PR, direct marketing and multiple digital screens.
These coordinated campaigns are commonly referred to as Omnichannel or cross channel marketing. Omnichannel marketing creates a channel-to-channel awareness that drives engagement, investment, and customer loyalty by delivering the right message to the right customer at the right time. Historically, advertisers focused on channel-specific marketing strategies to reach individual consumer touch points on various, disparate channels. Alternatively, Omnichannel marketing provides an advanced solution which weaves those touch points together into a seamless and immersive "surround" experience. This all-encompassing strategy offers a cohesive and impactful approach to an increasingly fragmented and confusing digital landscape.
"Adconion Direct is honored to be part of this landmark study which demonstrates that prominent advertisers and thought leaders clearly understand the value of Omnichannel marketing and are actively seeking to implement these strategies in their media spend," says Adconion Direct CEO, Kim Reed Perell. "Our company has invested millions of dollars into a platform that provides a solution for brands to effectively reach digital audiences at every touch point via cross channel solutions."
The study confirms the necessity to reorganize commonly applied multi-channel advertising models in the current digital space. Twenty-five percent of panelists surveyed said cross-platform products are "very important" in driving customer engagement, and four out of five (79%) believe they will be crucial in the near future. Such results demanding Omni/Cross Platform strategies prove the need for the industry to adopt an audience-centered media format, reorient advertisers' strategies, and reallocate resources. As the study concludes, execution is the next step. Adconion Direct has anticipated these challenges facing advertisers and has proactively developed both the tools and the optimization protocol to achieve these goals.

Dynasty is an American prime time television soap opera that aired on ABC from January 12, 1981 to May 11, 1989. The series, created by Richard and Esther Shapiro and produced by Aaron Spelling, revolved around the Carringtons, a fictional wealthy family, residing in Denver, Colorado.[2] The series was ABC's competitor to CBS's prime time series Dallas, and starred John Forsythe and Linda Evans as oil magnate Blake Carrington and his new wife Krystle.[2][3]
Ratings for the show's first season were low, but the fall 1981 arrival of Joan Collins as Blake's scheming ex-wife Alexis Morell Carrington saw ratings enter the top twenty.[2][4][5][6] By the fall of 1982, it was a top ten show, and by the spring of 1985, it was the #1 show in the United States.[5][7] Other notable cast members included Pamela Sue Martin, Lloyd Bochner, Heather Locklear, Michael Nader, Diahann Carroll, Emma Samms, Ted McGinley, Rock Hudson, Kate O'Mara and Stephanie Beacham.
Dynasty was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best TV Drama Series every year from 1981 to 1986, winning in 1984.[8] Dynasty spawned a successful line of fashion and luxury products, and also a spin-off series called The Colbys. The series declined considerably in popularity during its final two seasons,[5] and it was ultimately cancelled in the spring of 1989 after nine seasons and 220 episodes.[9] A two-part mini-series, Dynasty: The Reunion, aired in October 1991.[9]
Aaron Spelling, already well known for his successful ABC series, including Starsky and Hutch, Charlie's Angels, The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Vega$ and Hart to Hart,[10] took on Richard and Esther Shapiro's vision of a rich and powerful family who "lived and sinned" in a 48-room Denver mansion.[2] Esther Shapiro claimed that an inspiration for the show was I, Claudius, a fictionalized depiction of the Julio-Claudian dynasty of Roman emperors.[11] The working title for Dynasty was Oil, and the starring role originally went to George Peppard. In early drafts of the pilot script, the two main families featured in the series were known as the Parkhursts and Corbys; by the time production began, they had been renamed the Carringtons and Colbys. Peppard, whom had difficulties dealing with the somewhat unsympathetic role of patriarch Blake Carrington,[12] was quickly replaced with John Forsythe. Filmed in 1980, the pilot was among many delayed due to a strike precipitated by animosity between the television networks and the partnership of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. Dynasty finally premiered on ABC as a three-hour event on January 12, 1981.[2]
As Dynasty begins on January 12, 1981, powerful oil tycoon Blake Carrington (John Forsythe) is about to marry the younger Krystle Jennings (Linda Evans), his former secretary.[2] Beautiful, earnest, and new to Blake's world, Krystle finds a hostile reception in the Carrington household — the staff patronizes her, and Blake's headstrong and promiscuous daughter Fallon (Pamela Sue Martin) resents her. Though devoted to Krystle, Blake himself is too preoccupied with his company, Denver-Carrington, and blind to Krystle's predicament. Her only ally is her stepson Steven (Al Corley), whose complicated relationship with Blake stems from their fundamental political differences and Steven's resistance to step into his role as future leader of the Carrington empire. Meanwhile, Fallon, better suited to follow in Blake's footsteps, as a woman is underestimated by — and considered little more than a trophy to — father Blake. She channels her energies into toying with various male suitors, including the Carrington chauffeur Michael Culhane (Wayne Northrop). At the end of the three-hour premiere episode "Oil", Steven finally confronts his father, criticizing Blake's capitalistic values and seemingly-amoral business practices.[13] Blake explodes, revealing the secret of which Steven thought his father was unaware: Blake is disgusted by Steven's homosexuality, and his refusal to "conform" sets father and son at odds for some time.[13][14]
In counterpoint to the Carringtons are the Blaisdels; Denver-Carrington geologist Matthew (Bo Hopkins) — unhappily married to the emotionally fragile Claudia (Pamela Bellwood) — is Krystle's ex-lover. Returning from an extended assignment in the Middle East, Matthew quits and goes into business with wildcatter Walter Lankershim (Dale Robertson), and as Blake's behavior begins pushing Krystle toward Matthew, the men are set as both business and romantic rivals.[2] Blake is further enraged when Steven goes to work for longtime friend Matthew, to whom Steven sees qualities lacking in Blake. Though previously in a relationship with another man, Steven finds himself drawn to Claudia, who is putting her life back together after spending time in a psychiatric hospital. Fallon makes a secret business deal with Blake's old friend and more-powerful business rival Cecil Colby (Lloyd Bochner), marrying his nephew Jeff (John James) to secure Cecil's financial assistance for her father. When Blake stumbles upon Steven in an innocent goodbye embrace with his former lover Ted Dinard (Mark Withers), Blake angrily pushes the two men apart; Ted falls backward and hits his head, the injury proving fatal.[2][13] Blake is arrested and charged with murder,[2] and an angry Steven testifies that Ted's death had been the result of malicious intent. A veiled surprise witness for the prosecution appears in the season finale "The Testimony," and Fallon gasps in recognition: "Oh my God, that's my mother!"[2][14]
In the first episode of the second season, titled "Enter Alexis", the mysterious witness removes her sunglasses to reveal British actress Joan Collins as a new arrival to the series.[2] Collins' Alexis Carrington blazed a trail across the show and its story lines; the additions of Collins and the "formidable writing team" of Eileen and Robert Mason Pollock are generally credited with Dynasty's subsequent rise in the Nielsen ratings.[2] The Pollocks "soft-pedaled the business angle" of the show and "bombarded viewers with every soap opera staple in the book, presented at such a fast clip that a new tragedy seemed to befall the Carrington family every five minutes."[2] Alexis' testimony notwithstanding, Krystle is immediately put off by the former Mrs. Carrington's condescending attitude and manipulations; Krystle's subsequent discovery that Alexis had caused her miscarriage by intentionally startling her horse with a gunshot settles Alexis as Krystle's implacable nemesis. Other new characters of the season are the psychiatrist Nick Toscanni (James Farentino), who tries to seduce Krystle while bedding Fallon and plotting against Blake; and Krystle's greedy niece Sammy Jo Dean (Heather Locklear), who marries Steven for his money.
The season finale sees Blake left for dead on a mountain after a fight with Nick. By that time, Dynasty had entered the Top 20.[5][6] In the third season, Alexis marries Cecil on his deathbed and acquires his company, Colbyco. In the meantime, Adam Carrington (Gordon Thomson), the long-lost son of Alexis and Blake who had been kidnapped in infancy, reappears in Denver. Also introduced are Krystle's ex-husband, tennis pro Mark Jennings (Geoffrey Scott), and Kirby Anders (Kathleen Beller), the daughter of longtime Carrington majordomo Joseph (Lee Bergere). Kirby catches Adam's eye but weds Jeff after his divorce from Fallon. In the middle of the season, news that Steven has been killed in an accident in Indonesia comes to the Carringtons; he survives, but undergoes plastic surgery and returns to Denver portrayed by Jack Coleman. In the third season cliffhanger, Alexis lures Krystle to Steven's cabin and the two are locked inside while the cabin is set ablaze by an unseen arsonist (later revealed to be Joseph, who had meant for the fire to kill only Alexis and not Krystle).
With the show's popularity soaring in the fourth season, former President Gerald Ford guest-starred as himself in 1983, along with his wife Betty and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. New characters included the charming and ambitious Farnsworth "Dex" Dexter (Michael Nader), the unscrupulous playboy Peter De Vilbis (Helmut Berger), and Blake's illegitimate African American half-sister, Dominique Deveraux (Diahann Carroll). The main story lines included a custody battle between Steven and Blake over Steven and Sammy Jo's son Danny, and a false accusation of illegal weapons dealings orchestrated by Alexis to ruin Blake's financial empire. In the season finale, Fallon disappears just before her second wedding to Jeff (now divorced of Kirby) as her car seemingly collides with a truck on a stormy night (to accommodate the departure of Pamela Sue Martin from the series), while Alexis is arrested for the murder of Mark Jennings.
In the fifth season, Alexis is exonerated and her secret daughter Amanda Bedford (Catherine Oxenberg) comes to Denver and discovers that Blake is her father. Steven has married Claudia but leaves her for a man, and Sammy Jo discovers she is the heiress to a huge fortune. At the end of the season, an amnesiac Fallon, now portrayed by actress Emma Samms, reappears while the rest of the family go to Europe for the wedding of Amanda and Prince Michael of Moldavia (Michael Praed). During the season, the series attracted controversy when Rock Hudson's real-life HIV-positive status was revealed after a romantic storyline between his character Daniel Reece and Evans' Krystle. Hudson's scenes required him to kiss Evans and, as news that he had contracted AIDS broke, there was speculation Evans would be at risk. Driven by the new head writer and producer Camille Marchetta, who had devised the wildly-successful "Who Shot J.R.?" scenario on Dallas five years earlier, Dynasty hit #1 that year.[5][7]
Undoubtedly the most famous Dynasty cliffhanger is the so-called "Moldavian Massacre" during the May 15, 1985 fifth season finale. Amanda and Prince Michael's royal wedding is interrupted by terrorists during a military coup in Moldavia, riddling the chapel with bullets and leaving all of the major characters lying seemingly lifeless. It became the most talked-about episode of any TV series during the calendar year of 1985, with a viewership of 60 million.[15] In 2011, Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly named it one of the seven "Unforgettable Cliff-Hangers" of prime time dramatic television.[16]
When the series resumed on September 25, 1985, viewers quickly learned that only two minor characters of the series had died: Steven's boyfriend Luke Fuller (Billy Campbell), who was mortally wounded saving Claudia's life, and Jeff's love interest Lady Ashley Mitchell (Ali MacGraw). In the 2006 CBS special Dynasty Reunion: Catfights & Caviar, Gordon Thomson stated that it was the "follow-up" that was the letdown, not the cliffhanger itself. John James stated in the 2001 episode of E! The True Hollywood Story featuring Dynasty that the "Moldavian Massacre" was when the show "maxed out" and "overdosed" on outrageousness.[15] Creator Esther Shapiro stated in 2001 that she thought the cliffhanger was "well-produced" but that they "could've done something else".[15]
Joan Collins was conspicuously absent from the season six opener; she was in a tense contract renegotiation with the show, seeking an increased salary.[17] As a result, the first episode had to be rewritten to explain her absence and many of Alexis' scenes were given to Krystle. Collins' demands were met (she reportedly signed a $60,000 per episode contract) and she returned to the series in the season's second episode. Despite Collins' absence, the first episode of season six garnered a 28.1 rating (becoming the most watched episode of the series) as viewers wanted to see who survived the season five cliffhanger.[18]
Though still a top ten series, Dynasty dropped from #1 to #7 in the ratings for its sixth season,[5][19] which featured a lookalike woman named Rita who poses as Krystle (with both roles played by Evans), introduced Alexis' sister Caress (Kate O'Mara), and launched the spin-off The Colbys. Spurned by Blake, Alexis finds his estranged brother Ben (Christopher Cazenove) and she and he successfully plot to strip Blake of his fortune. Steven's budding relationship with closeted Bart Fallmont (Kevin Conroy) is ruined by Adam's business-motivated public revelation that Bart is gay, and the May 21, 1986 season finale finds Blake strangling Alexis while the rest of the cast is in peril at the La Mirage hotel, which is accidentally set afire by Claudia.
As the seventh season begins in September 1986, Blake stops short of killing Alexis, Claudia has died in the fire, and Amanda (now played by American Karen Cellini following Oxenberg's firing from the series) is rescued by a returning Michael Culhane, Blake's chauffeur from the earliest seasons. Blake turns the tables on Ben and Alexis and recovers his wealth but loses his memory after an oil rig explosion. Alexis finds Blake and, with everyone believing he is dead, perpetuates the belief that they are still married. Living with a clean slate, Alexis finds herself softening to Blake but ultimately tells him the truth as he reunites with Krystle. Krystina receives a heart transplant but is later temporarily kidnapped by Sarah Curtis (Cassie Yates), the mother of the girl who received Krystina's heart; Sammy Jo's marriage to Clay Fallmont (Ted McGinley) crumbles and she falls into bed with Steven; Amanda leaves town, and Ben's daughter Leslie Carrington (played by Terri Garber) arrives. Adam's season-long romance with Blake's secretary Dana Waring (Leann Hunley) culminates in a wedding, which is punctuated in the May 6, 1987 season finale by Alexis' car plunging off a bridge into a river and the violent return of a vengeful Matthew Blaisdel. Although the first episode of season seven premiered with a high Nielsen rating of a 20.1, the confrontation with Magnum P.I., now in the same time slot,[20] and the constant storyline changes led to Dynasty falling out of the top 20 to #24.[5]
With The Colbys cancelled, Jeff and Fallon return for Dynasty 's eighth season, their marriage falling apart again. Matthew, returned from the dead but troubled by headaches, holds the Carringtons hostage in hopes that Krystle will run away with him. Steven ends the siege by reluctantly stabbing his old friend to death. Alexis is saved by a handsome, mysterious stranger, Sean Rowan (James Healey). She later marries him, not realizing that he is Joseph's son and Kirby's brother, bent on revenge. Steven and Sammy Jo's reconciliation is short-lived, and the pursuit of children unravels Adam and Dana's marriage. Sean begins to manipulate and destroy the Carringtons from the inside, with Dex and him fighting to the death in the March 30, 1988 season finale. Blake comes home to find Krystle missing and their bedroom in shambles. The show had now dropped to #33 in the ratings.[5]
The ninth and final 1988–1989 season brought a move from Wednesday to Thursday, and new Executive Supervising Producer David Paulsen, who took over the plotting of the series. In a money-saving move, Evans appeared in only six episodes early in the season as an ailing Krystle seeks brain surgery in Switzerland but is left in an offscreen coma -- a condition created as an out and back-in as Evans was ready to leave the series and the producers wanted a window in case she decided to return. Similarly to cut costs, Collins was contracted for only 13 out of the season's 22 episodes; former Colbys character Sable (Stephanie Beacham) was brought in as both a platonic confidante for Blake and a nemesis for Alexis, and Tracy Scoggins also reprised her Colbys role as Sable's daughter Monica. A storyline involving a murder and an old secret tying the Carrington, Colby, and Dexter families together spanned the season as Alexis and Sable sparred first over business and then over Dex.
Ratings, however, continued to decline and were further exacerbated by the change in time-slot as the series was in competition with the strong NBC Thursday prime-time line-up, which had regularly drawn the lion's share of the audience. The Cosby Show, which had supplanted Dynasty as the #1 show on television in 1986, continued to hold that lead. In May 1989, new ABC entertainment president Robert A. Iger cancelled Dynasty, making the last episode of season nine the series finale. The show ended with Blake, Fallon, Krystina, Alexis, and Dex in mortal peril.[9][21]
With the series cancelled in 1989, the final episode (featuring multiple cliffhangers and most of the main characters in dire straits and even mortal peril) was initially left unresolved. As an attempt to wrap up these loose plotlines, ABC produced a two-part miniseries entitled Dynasty: The Reunion, which aired in October 1991.[9]
Many of the cast members, including John Forsythe, Joan Collins, John James, Heather Locklear, and Emma Samms agreed to reprise their roles in early 1991. It was unknown during pre-production which characters the reunion film would include. Linda Evans was brought back last-minute, just before the final script was penned, as was Kathleen Beller. Jack Coleman, who had played Steven Carrington from 1982 to 1988, had agreed to appear in the film, but due to conflicts with producers, he was replaced with Al Corley, who originated the part in 1981. Gordon Thomson also originally agreed to appear in the film but ABC refused to align the shooting schedule with his work on the daytime series Santa Barbara, and replaced him with Robin Sachs, who many involved felt was wrong for the part. Michael Nader did not appear in the film due to similar misunderstandings, and his character was written out of the script, leaving his fate in the season 9 finale unknown.[citation needed]
Dynasty: The Reunion aired on October 20 and October 22, 1991. The initial first night airing achieved moderate ratings, averaging ten million viewers. The second night fared worse, averaging just seven million viewers. Critical reviews were not favorable, with many feeling the script was poor and that the film was merely an attempt of ABC's wish to "cash-in" on an old series. Due to the unimpressive ratings and reviews, ABC decided not to further expand the Dynasty franchise.[citation needed]
Over the run of the series, the rivalry between Alexis and Krystle is a primary driver for the melodrama. Alexis resents Krystle's supplanting of her position as mistress of the Carrington household and tries to undermine her at every opportunity, while Krystle makes increasingly bold efforts to keep Alexis from interfering in the lives of their mutual loved ones. The pair have numerous verbal spats, accented by slaps across the face, but on more than one occasion they have physical altercations. "Unfortunately, the thing people remember about this show is the catfights," noted Collins in 1991.[9] Krystle and Alexis famously brawl in Alexis' studio[22] and later in a lily pond,[23] hurl mud at each other at a beauty salon,[2] and slide down a ravine together into a puddle of mud[24] before their final showdown in a fashion studio in the 1991 miniseries Dynasty: The Reunion.[9] In 2008 Entertainment Weekly termed Alexis and Krystle's catfights "the gold standard of scratching and clawing."[25] Later in the series Alexis battles Blake's half-sister Dominique Deveraux (Diahann Carroll)[26] and her own cousin Sable Colby (Stephanie Beacham);[27] Heather Locklear's Sammy Jo has catfights with both Amanda (Catherine Oxenberg) in a swimming pool[28] and Fallon (Emma Samms) in a horse trough and the mud around it,[29] as well as a slapping match with Claudia (Pamela Bellwood). Evans even battles with herself at the climax of a 1985–1986 storyline in which Krystle is imprisoned and replaced by a lookalike, also played by Evans.[30]
A spin-off, The Colbys, debuted in 1985 as Fallon "returned from the dead" and ex-husband Jeff followed her to Los Angeles, where they became embroiled in the family intrigues of Jeff's wealthy California relatives. Pamela Sue Martin had been asked to reprise the role of Fallon but declined which led to the casting of Emma Samms in the role. Ratings for The Colbys were poor and the show lasted for just two seasons, ending in 1987. Both Fallon and Jeff returned to Dynasty after the series ended.
The cable channel SOAPnet aired repeats of all nine seasons. In January 2004, creator Esther Shapiro participated in a marathon of the show's episodes, called "Serial Bowl: Alexis vs. Krystle", giving behind-the-scenes tidbits and factoids.
On January 2, 2005, ABC aired a fictionalized television movie entitled Dynasty: The Making of a Guilty Pleasure, chronicling the creation and backstage details of Dynasty. It received poor reviews both for content and for historical accuracy, and was criticized by Forsythe, Evans, and Collins in separate press releases.[31] Filmed in Australia, the movie starred Bartholomew John as Forsythe, Melora Hardin as Evans, and Alice Krige as Collins.[32] The film begins with a disclaimer noting the inclusion of "time compression and composite and fictionalized characters and incidents," and takes dramatic license with both the historical timeline and events, as well as the fictional storylines originally presented on Dynasty.
On May 2, 2006, a non-fiction television special named Dynasty Reunion: Catfights & Caviar aired on CBS. It assembled former cast members from the series, including John Forsythe, Joan Collins, and Linda Evans, as well as the four original actors who played the Carrington children (Pamela Sue Martin, Al Corley, Gordon Thomson, and Catherine Oxenberg). The special showed various clips from the series, as the cast reminisced about their time on the show. The special was filmed at the Filoli estate, the location originally used for exterior shots of the Carringtons' mansion in the series.
The Shapiros announced on January 12, 2011 that they had written a Dynasty prequel feature film script set in the 1960s, and were shopping it to studios for a possible film franchise.[33] In a September 2011 interview, Dynasty actress Joan Collins chatted about a Dynasty television revival: "I've been in constant contact with Esther Shapiro, who wrote it, and apparently they've written a script."[34] However, she has since stated that a revival is not going to happen after all.[citation needed]
The Filoli estate in Woodside, California, was used as the 48-room Carrington mansion in the opening credits, establishing shots, and some outdoor scenes in the pilot episode. Some of the other exterior shots of the Carrington mansion (including the lily pond catfight) were shot at a 17-room Palladian house called Arden Villa in Pasadena, California. [35]
John Forsythe was the only cast member to appear in all 222 episodes of the series. Linda Evans appeared in 206 of the 222 episodes, leaving the series after appearing in only six episodes of the ninth and final season. Joan Collins, who did not join the cast until the second season, also missed one episode in season 6 and nine episodes in season 9, and was consequently present for a total of 197 episodes. Forsythe and John James were the only two original cast members to appear in the final episode.
The creations of series costume designer Nolan Miller became so popular that Dynasty spawned its own line of women's apparel[2] called "The Dynasty Collection" — a series of haute couture designs based on costumes worn by Joan Collins, Linda Evans and Diahann Carroll. Christopher Schemering's The Soap Opera Encyclopedia notes that later, "capitalizing on that success, the show put out a men's fashion line, Dynasty sheets and towels, 'Forever Krystle' perfume (named after the Krystle Carrington character) and a companion cologne 'Carrington' (named after Blake Carrington), dolls, and — in keeping with the nothing-is-sacred spirit of the show — even wall-to-wall carpeting and panty hose."[2]
In addition, the Crystal Light beverage hired Linda Evans as a spokesperson due to her character's name (Krystle) on Dynasty.[36]
Two fictional novels were published, based on scripts from early episodes — Dynasty (1983)[37] and Alexis Returns (1984)[38] — written by Eileen Lottman. In 1984, Doubleday/Dolphin published the companion book Dynasty: The Authorized Biography of the Carringtons, which included an introduction by Esther Shapiro.[39] The Authorized Biography featured storyline synopses in the form of extended biographies of the main characters, descriptions of primary locations (like the Carrington Estate and La Mirage) and dozens of photos from the series.[39]
NOTE: The most frequent time slot for the series is in bold text.
Dynasty was a top 20 hit from its second through sixth seasons, reaching #1 for the 1984–1985 season with a Nielsen rating of 25.0 or an average tune-in audience of 21.2 million homes per episode.[5][7]
Dynasty was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best TV Drama Series every year from 1981 to 1986, winning in 1984.[8] It is the only night-time soap to achieve this honor. Forsythe and Collins were also nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress every year from 1981 to 1986, and Evans was nominated for Best Actress every year from 1981 to 1985. Evans won in 1982 (tying with Barbara Bel Geddes of rival series Dallas),[43] Forsythe won in 1983[44] and 1984,[8] and Collins won in 1983.[44]
The first season of Dynasty was released on Region 1 DVD on April 19, 2005 by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. The rights to subsequent seasons (and Season 1 rights for other regions) reverted to CBS DVD (distributed by Paramount) in November 2006. Seasons 1 through 4 were made available on iTunes in May 2012.[45][46]
The show is rated PG for Parental Guidance in Australia and PG in New Zealand for adult themes.

Queen To Release Unearthed Track Featuring Freddie Mercury's Vocals?
Brian May has sparked speculation that Queen could release a new song featuring the late Freddie Mercury's vocals, after the band unearthed the "magic" track.
The guitarist of the band took to his official website to tease the material, which was recorded before Freddie's death in 1991.
John Deacon, Freddie Mercury, Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen
"Some Queen magic is happening ... I can feel it in my bones," he wrote. "It's annoying to have to be so secretive, but I guess I have to, for now.
"What I can say is the track we dusted off has the four of us - Freddie, John, Roger and myself - playing together on a track we'd all forgotten about.
He continued: "'It sounds so fresh. I got quite emotional hearing some of it ... some rough takes, some discussion and banter, and then a really good take, and some overdubs, and ... well, it's crying out to be finally brought into the world.
"I can't help but feel a buzz. I'm energised again."
Last month, the band signed a new record deal with Universal, promising "a range of exciting projects, including a raft of rare and unreleased material and a film".
Brian May has just received the all-clear after being tested for prostate cancer over Christmas.

And I have been known to adapt and integrate a snippet that stuck in my head from something I read. For example, from a magazine article, the writer compared a singer's bicep to a fresh tennis ball. Oh hell yeah . . .

Yet we know what happens when you color too far out of the lines, especially in genre fiction. You hear that Barnes & Noble doesn't know where to shelve your books or that your work is too eccentric to be grasped by the marketing department. In the end, you have to write the book you want to write. (My first agent advised me to go read P.D. James...which I did. Not sure what I got out of that, though, except pleasure.)

I do read while I write because I can never stop reading. Reading another writer's excellent writing does not give me license to copy but to be awestruck. I am inspired by the good writing of others.

I agree about killing off your characters, but Nancy is right. Writers must be careful. One of the best books that did this (and it shocked me) was The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery. What a book! What a brave author!

I recently had an industry-insider friend mark up my book proposal, and much of what she dinged me on was my familiar to conform to formula. One, my character didn't have the requisite tragedy in his past. Two, he didn't have a quirk like birdwatching or building model trains or collecting vintage jazz records. Three, he wasn't instantly irresistible to every woman he encountered. Four, many of the reversals in my story were because of mistakes he made, not because he was a victim of circumstance or of somebody else. And on and on. I was urged to re-read Robert Crais, Craig Johnson, Harlan Coben, Michael Koryta and others, and "borrow liberally from their playbooks." The entire critique could be summed us "be more like other writers."

I feel that we're not being encouraged merely to steal a little here and there, but to engage in outright body-snatching.Jim Thomsenhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430862590333307596.post-14855824419100855232014-05-20T13:59:49.438-04:002014-05-20T13:59:49.438-04:00Fantastic post!

Sounds like a fabulous if challenging way to write.

I'm glad you said that about reading :) I'm a binge reader as well and find it much easier and relaxing to do after I've finished a WIP. Otherwise, I'm constantly deconstructing the book I'm reading and comparing it to mine!

The trick might be to read in a different genre to what I'm writing, while I'm writing i.e. don't read fast-paced thrillers/adventure books until I've finished my book. I also reread a lot when I'm writing. My Terry Pratchett collection is very much dog-eared :)AD Starrlinghttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430862590333307596.post-40083940173439083222014-05-20T11:35:42.643-04:002014-05-20T11:35:42.643-04:00I've stolen so many things from so many writer...I've stolen so many things from so many writers.

Asahi Kasei 1H FY2011 Net Sales Up 5%
Tokyo, Nov 8, 2011 (JCN) - Asahi Kasei Corp. has reported net sales of 802.2 billion yen for the six month period ended September 30, 2011, up by 4.9% or 37.4 billion yen from the same period last year. Its operating income increased to 63.8 billion yen, ordinary income jumped 4.3% to ?62.1 billion, and net income increased by 34.3% to 38.2 billion yen. The company's strong performance was buoyed by increased deliveries of Hebel Haus unit homes in the Homes segment as well as firm performance in the Chemicals segment.
In the Homes segment, in particular, sales were up by 15.2% from a year ago to ?200 billion, and operating income increased by 77.3% to 17.9 billion yen. Orders for order-built homes increased by 7.7 billion yen to 189.4 billion yen, with deliveries of both Hebel Haus unit homes and Hebel Maison apartment buildings driving growth. In pre-built homes operations, sales of condominiums increased. Housing-related operations also performed well.
In the Chemicals segment, Asahi posted sales growth of 3.5% to 377.8 billion yen. The Health Care segment also performed well, with sales increasing by 3.8% from a year ago to 60 billion yen, and operating income improving by 34.1% to 5.6 billion yen.
In pharmaceuticals operations, an increase in medical representatives resulted in higher selling, general and administrative expenses, while shipments of Recomodulin recombinant thrombomodulin increased substantially. In devices-related operations, the strong yen and lower product prices had an impact on performance in each product category, but shipments of Planova virus removal filters increased substantially.
Asahi Kasei's Fibers division posted sales of 56.1 billion yen for the six-month period, up about 3% from the same period last year. Shipments of Leona nylon 66 filament in tire-cord applications and of Bemberg regenerated cellulose in lining applications were favorable, but high feedstock costs and the strong yen had an impact on performance in each product category.
The company's Electronics segment and Construction Materials division, however, posted losses due to declining product prices and a stronger yen.

Easy win
After a race starts on the easiest level, get yourself into second place. Then, do anything to block the rest of the field behind you until the leader gets a very big lead. Catching up to him will be easy for you, but the rest of the field will continue to lag behind. You should be able to get a win, but you have a guaranteed second place if not.

DT Carnage
DT Carnage Review
May 20, 2009 - It's been almost eight months since DT Carnage hit the PS2, and it would appear that time didn't go to improving the game much during its move to the PSP. Like the PS2 version, DT Carnage's portable iteration isn't without some promise, but most of that is squandered on a number of little things that hamper any real enjoyment that could be gleaned from extended time with the game.

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.
