As expected, there were major showings for the movies 12 Years a Slave, which led Wednesday's Screen Actors Guild nominations, and American Hustle, already winner of the New York Film Critics Circle Award for best film.
Those two films received seven nominations each, including those for 12 Years's Chiwetel Ejiofor and Hustle's supporting actors Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper.

Michael Douglas sounds optimistic when it comes to him and estranged wife Catherine Zeta-Jones.
"Things are great," Douglas, now starring in Last Vegas, told reporters when asked about his nearly 13-year marriage. "Onward and upward."
Douglas, 69, was sans Zeta-Jones, 44, in Las Vegas at a promotional event for his new movie but donned his wedding ring and seemed in fine spirits.
Zeta-Jones was also spotted wearing her wedding ring in New York City last week, though the couple, who decided to "take a break" from their marriage earlier this year, haven't stepped out publicly together since last spring.

According to the Thomas More Society, a group dedicated to the promotion and protection of religious liberty, proposed same-sex marriage legislation in Illinois omits some very important protections:
Other states that have legalized same-sex marriage have included language in the relevant bills designed to protect religious freedom. Is this omission in Illinois unintentional, an oversight, or is it, as some fear, a sign that, as the gay rights movement gains confidence, it will increase its pressure on dissenting religions and on traditional religious freedoms?
On a perhaps related note: Brigham Young University's J. Reuben Clark Law School has long been at the forefront of defending religious freedom worldwide. After the fall of the Iron Curtain, Professor Cole Durham created the International Center for Law and Religion, which has been instrumental in helping to enact laws and to draft constitutional amendments intended to protect religious liberty around the world.
Such liberty should not be taken for granted. It has been hard -won, and is still being secured, in countries around the globe, often with enormous difficulty and against considerable resistance. And, perhaps surprisingly, it now seems to be under fire in the West, where it was first achieved. As Western society becomes increasingly secular, even in some cases militantly so, the forces arrayed against free expression and practice of religion became more and more vocal, and less and less shy.
I encourage you to become informed regarding this still rather subtle but deeply important topic by subscribing to the free daily email that the Center sends out, which features links to national and international news stories about religious freedom. Here's the link to sign up:
It's quite painless to do.

Mind you,I have a pile 10 books high of Oprah books I keep meaning to read, but with 4 wild kids, it just never seems to happen.
This book happened--it pulled me in immediately.
Not only did it touch nerves regarding my own feeelings about my mother, but it made me think of my own feelings AS a mother.
I wondered if I was screwed up, or if I was doing the screwing up part to MY kids,lol.
Sometimes, when all that can be seen is "the relationship" with one's parent/children- it is hard to tell, but by the end of the book one comes to terms with it all to some degree, an acceptance that basically "life is short, but it is wide."
What an iteresting book ,not just the stories of Sidda and Vivi, but the story it makes the reader remember of her own memories and childhood. The stories the reader sees her children remembering one day.
5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Amazing Novel, Her Best Book,
Jamieson Villeneuve "Author at Large" (Ottawa Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
When secrets have been buried beneath the veneer of the skin, they fester. Sometimes, those secrets can be held at bay for years, decades even. Sometimes the secrets you hold can eat away at who you are, and what you have become. Usually, they have to come out sooner or later.
The consequences of that release, letting the secrets breathe and have life once more, can be good or bad - but keeping those secrets inside can tear a family apart.
In the incredible book "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" by Rebecca Wells, we meet Siddalee Walker, a middle aged playwright directing her first Broadway play. She is the daughter of Southern Belle Vivi Abbot Walker. Their relationship is rocky at best.
Along for the ride are Vivi's life long friends: Necie, Caro and Teensy. Decades ago, Vivi, Necie, Caro and Teensie formed a secret sisterhood, the sisterhood of the Ya-Ya's. They will let no man put them under, and will always listen to the call of the women and Gods that came before them.
Their friendship, forged in the heat of the South and the blood they shared, has stood the test of time. Unfortunately, Vivi's relationships with her children, especially Sidda, haven't.When the New York Times interviews Sidda and proclaims her mother to be a tap dancing child abuser, all hell breaks loose. Vivi cuts Siddalee out of her will and proclaims her dead to her, in true Southern fashion.
At a loss as to how to articulate her pain, Sidda decides not to marry her seven-year sweetheart Connor McGill. The Ya-Ya's step in to Sidda's aid. They implore Vivi to send Sidda the Divine Secrets, a scrapbook of sorts that chronicles their lives together. Flipping through the large book, Sidda is thrust back in time, to the South in the 1930's and beyond, and learns what really happened to her mother and her life.
We learn, along with Sidda, about the alcohol, the lost love that died in the war, what really preceded the beating outside of their family home when Vivi finally broke down. Once secrets are released, they have a difficult time staying hidden. And, as is often the case with secrets, once one has found it's way out to the light, the other secrets are not too far behind.
In "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood," Wells has created a tapestry of words, showing us snapshots of one family's life and a relationship between mother and daughter that is, in the end, strong enough to survive child beatings, abuse, booze, girl scouts, lovers, enemies and the perfect perm.
We are offered a glimpse into the lives of these people, Sidda, Vivi, her husband Shep, and it is often times a harrowing picture, a dark one. It is, however, a story that probably everyone can relate to. For how often have we bemoaned our parents, thought them ill equipped to deal with us, or that they really didn't love us or want us when it is the other way around? That they don't know how to show love and affection, that they are unable to, perhaps due to what happened to them as children. Secrets that no child really ever finds out.
"Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" is a wonderful novel filled with humor, honesty and the strength of the human spirit. If you haven't read it yet, what are you waiting for?
5.0 out of 5 stars Truly inspirational,
Kenny G. (Surrey) - See all my reviews
This is a book for anyone who is a mother and anyone who is a daughter.
It's about insight and perspective, love and forgiveness, and ultimately, about the redemptive (life-giving) nature of the relationships between mother and daughter and women friends.
Even if we didn't have it as bad as Vivi or SiddaLee, most off us mothers have screwed up and hurt our kids without meaning to, and many of us know what it feels like to have a mother whose own pain sometimes gets in the way of her ability to be a "good" mother.
What Wells has given us is a poignant, sometimes painful, sometimes humorous portrait of the journey between the way it is between Vivi and SiddaLee and the way they want it to be.
This is also a book about friendship, about continuity over time, and the truth of women's lives. It's about friends who share joy, responsibility and their shame with each other. I loved every moment of reading this book. You will too.
If you loved this book, along with the SHOPAHOLIC SERIES and the book THE WOMAN WHO CUT OFF HER LEG, then you'll have one great collection.
1.0 out of 5 stars Needs literary testosterone,
By A Customer
I gave this book one star because Wells does have some writing talent. However, her subject matter is somewhat nauseating. A mother and daughter who are on the "outs" because the daughter reveals that Mama was mean to her when she was a kid? That's not exactly a plot that can fill a whole book, but Wells thinks it can. The females in this book are, for the most part, very believable. The male characters are flawless & saintly, female fantasies of what men should be, except without the personality. If she developed male characters as well as she developed female characters, it would make it a lot more interesting. In some places she gets nauseatingly sentimental - it makes me want to take a bath, or go watch "Law and Order" to get back to reality. She goes over little things over and over and over ad nauseam. I would have preferred to read this tale in short-story form, where Mom says "Sorry, kid. I was a bad Mom. I had a rough life. Didn't mean to hurt you." Then the daughter says "OK, Mom." Hug. THE END. I'm not a really huge fan of most "chick flicks" or "chick books" (except maybe Jane Austen stuff), because they lack literary testosterone. But this was the ookiest, sweetsy-est, touchy-feeliest chick book I've ever touched. Yechhh! Oh yeah, and I AM a woman. Rebecca, you have some talent. Next time, please write a real STORY.
4.0 out of 5 stars The Neatest Grandmothers,
Katie (Tennessee, USA) - See all my reviews
I have to say I first watched the movie then read the book. I loved both. They are different, of course like many movies and books differ, but I will not tell you where.
This book connected with my southern pride. These women were sweating the southern smell. Their actions, manners, their life all had southern traits. It was a novel that made me feel like Southerners are really something fun, not a bunch of hicks, but can still be classy and at the same time have fun.
It was an adventure with women who had lived adventurously all their lives. It was a ride with the coolest people. The main characters that were older women had always had fun , but with the time and culture they had grown up they never knew how to embrace their children like they should. My grandmother recently had a stroke, and this book showed me how lucky I am to have a grandmother that cared so much.
I recommend this book to anyone, but I think only southern female's could appreciate this novel to the full extent.
4.0 out of 5 stars Cajun Spice,
Robin Johnson Esak "Robin Johnson Esak" (Fredericksburg, VA USA) - See all my reviews
Although the sisterhood of the Ya-Ya's plays a large part in this tale, the book is mostly about Siddalee and her relationship with her divine mother Vivi. Vivi's eccentricity coupled with a nervous breakdown during Siddalee's childhood has stretched their relationship to the breaking point, and caused Siddalee to question her ability to have a relationship with anyone - including her fiancee.
Siddalee decides to escape, breaks her engagement, bids farewell to her stunned partner, and heads off into the wilds to contemplate the scrapbook of photos, letters, and memories called "The Divine Secrets Of The Ya-Ya Sisterhood". The book interweaves Siddalee's imaginings about items from the books with flashbacks to the childhood of her mother and her great friends - their exploits, adventures, and great sorrows.
Through it all, you come to see these very great friends as nothing less than a sisterhood. They form a bond that resonates through their childhood into their adult lives and, with the help of the book and the sisterhood, Siddalee comes to recognize her mother for who she is and herself for who she is.
This book is warm, believable, sorrowful, and joyous. I enjoyed every minute of it. The audio version, by the way, is also very well read and I highly recommend it for those who prefer to listen than read.
4.0 out of 5 stars Mother Daughter Relationships ...Dilemmas and Love!,
a student (Versailles, OH USA) - See all my reviews
The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood is a great book about a mother and daughter who fight over everything. Vivi, the mother, and her girlfriends, the Ya-Ya's, do everything together and they have all their lives. But the Ya-Ya's had many problems growing up and raising their children. Sidda is Vivi's daughter, they love each other
very much, but they fight over little things and some very big things.
Throughout the book you learn about Vivi's life and her view on things and about Sidda's life and her view of things through flashbacks and them telling about things that go on. Sidda tells of the problems her mother had raising the children and of her mother's drinking and chain smoking problems. Also how Vivi was in and out of her life. She tells of the times her mother would beat her and her siblings. Vivi also tells her side of the story.
I really enjoyed this book. It was better then the movie that has been made for the it. The book goes much more into detail about the characters lives and problems. The Divine Secrets (...) also goes into more detail about what is going on.
The only problem I had with The Divine Secrets (...) was that Vivi and the other three Ya-Ya's use strong language...a lot! Also that Vivi and Sidda would talk every other chapter. For example; the first chapter Sidda talks and the second chapter Vivi talks...and that's how the story is told. That was the only confusing thing to me.
I would recommend this book to older readers because of the strong language.
But this is a great book about love, betrayal, and memories. And I enjoyed it greatly.
Happy Reading!
5.0 out of 5 stars The Ideal Novel,
Rachel (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Divine Secrets Of The Ya-Ya Sisterhood: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood is the ideal novel for so many reasons. For one thing it is not saying that it is okay to beat your kids it is telling the reader that it really happened, that mothers really did beat their kids and no one really cared. Another thing I love hearing about the 1930's because I did not live through that and it is better to hear a story about the thirties than just have people telling you that the thirties were awful and were a time when no one cared about anyone. This is a story about Sidda who grew up in the south, at the beginning we learn that Sidda gave an interview to the Times and accidently told them that she was abused. Now her mother is not talking to her. But when Sidda needds ideas for a play that she is directing she needs her mother's help. She writes to her mother and the Ya-Yas asking for help with the play. In return they send her the Divine Secrets, which is a scrapbook that tells about all their adventures. Throughout the book you are going back and forth between modern day and the thirties, fourties, fifties, and sixties. You hear about tragedies, romances, friendships, and adventures throughout the cycle of life. I would recommend this book to everyone over the age of 13 because their are some drug, sexual, and abuse related content that not all children will understand. I hope that this review has been helpful to you.
2.0 out of 5 stars Hmmm...Beat your kids, but it's okay,
By A Customer
First of all, the main character Sidda is a whining brat who blames her mom for everything. Second, the Mother is a drunk who beats her kids. The book tries to redeem her and explain the reasoning behind beating her kids, but I'm sorry, I've had a tough life, and I don't see how beating my kids would help. Of course, I have other interest than dwelling on old boyfriends, my nails, etc....
As I said, I had a horrible life when I was a child. I left home at 14 because of it. However, I managed to work my way through college, get a great career, find a loving good husband and have terrific kids. I have known great women who are Sidda's mother's age who have overcome great adversities in their lives and did not have to cope with bottle or belt.
I'm sorry, but the sympathy for these characters, which I know the author was trying to bring out, never emerged. I just saw them as shallow people relying on others to find happiness. Never once did this woman (Sidda's mother) stand up to anything with her own two feet.....
4.0 out of 5 stars Ya-Ya!,
J. Knell "serenity7" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This novel makes you want to become a crazy, drunken, southern bell! I have never had the desire to be crazy, a drunkard, or a southern bell, but after reading this novel I aspire to be all these things. The relationship between Sidda and Vivi is as hysterical as it is frustrating and touching. Vivi is the character you love to hate. To inspire such love and loyalty from her friends, the Ya-Yas is an amazing thing, and yet she does not inspire that same loyalty from her daughter. While the Ya-Yas have been privy and witness to all the events that have shaped Vivi Abbott Walker her daughter Sidda has been protected from them, and it is that protection that has done the most damage to Sidda.
Rebecca Wells has created a great novel about mothers and daughters and girlfriends. It is not a surprise to me that this novel was created into a major motion picture (though the movie is only a shadow of the book). This novel is both touching and entertaining, but at times it is over the top. Melodrama from Vivi tends to leak into other areas of the book detracting from the characters and the story. Despite this weakness the book is entertaining and worth the time spent to read it cover to cover.

It wouldn't help. It would be a dog. Thats why I called it a stupid build. It is fun to bash the two kits together however and is not intended to be a serious example of a dragster that would run very good let alone be competitive. : )

I don't know about the front end but the back would hook up like glue, and less likely to flip over on take off. Fun build.

Like lazlow already said, hooking up in excess of 8000 hp COULD conceivably be enhanced with the additional rear tires. There's a lot of tire-spinning wasted energy in a top-fuel launch. There have been several points in the history of drag racing where tire traction was the limiting factor in acceleration. We may be at another one.
Many experts 'proved' mathematically that 10 second ETs were the theoretical minimum, based on what was 'known' about coefficients of friction at one time. That was fine until someone ran 9.98.
The tiny front tires COULD conceivably help to lower frontal area, which is a powerful contributor to drag up around 300mph. When you consider that hundredths of a second count...

Nice info Bill, interesting. I have an idea to get Harry to like it................ I'm going to mount some mirrors on it ! : )

Cool project! Reminds me of a story Cole Coonce wrote in Super Stock about a Front Engine Dragster with dual rear wheels that John Force and a few other guys where scheming up. There was a crude drawing of it on a napkin and a very funny story! I think it was all make beliveve, but it made for good reading!
Can't wait to see it done!

Hey guys ! Got a bit more done on this "thing". Shot the paint but still needs to be decaled and cleared. Engine is just about done. I should be able to wrap this one up in the next few days. Thanks for looking.
Posted 19 July 2013 - 09:40 AM
This is cool. Not practical - unless you add mirrors - but cool. I have a book that has a pic of an old Mickey Tompson FED dragster with a set of rear slicks tucked inside the rear line of another set of slicks. So the set up was simliar to yours. Weight issues aside - unless you use carbon fiber mirrors to compensate for the extra tires - they experienced some pretty bad weight transfer issues. When it wanted the do a wheelie it bounced back and forth on the tamdem slicks. Not a fun ride, I'd guess.
Keep going. This is a blast.

Many things have been tried in the quest for increased traction. Never say never to a new or unusual idea. Some actually work.

Thank you very much guys. Thanks for that dragster photo Bill. That thing is wild ! Do you know if it had any sucess on the track ? 2 engines and 4 slicks....WILD ! Maybe I should have stretched mine a little longer and put 2 engines in line in it.
Thanks for the kind words John. They mean a lot.

England vs S Africa
England's year-long reign as the world number one Test side is over, South Africa take over the mantle - and it is difficult to argue against that. The tourists have outplayed England during the series and are fully deserving 2-0 winners. Trott, Bairstow, Prior, Broad and Swann all took the attack to South Africa on what turned into a more exciting final day than it might have been but, in the end, it was fitting that Philander finished things off with the second new ball. He has been superb throughout this match. Thanks for joining us and enjoy the rest of the day. Bye for now.
South Africa win the third Test by 51 runs, complete a 2-0 series victory and displace England at the top of the world rankings.
Philander needs only one more delivery to seal the victory, last man Steven Finn going in a similar manner to Prior, edging to Kallis at second slip. England all out for 294. Philander finishes with 5-30 in the innings and match figures of 9-105.
Prior is out this time, edging a drive at a Philander outswinger into the hands of Smith at first slip. It definitely wasn't a no-ball and Prior departs for 73, taking England's hopes with him.
Over 82 - Eng 289-8 (Prior 73, Anderson 3)
Steyn is given first use of the new cherry. Anderson fends a short ball into the gully, played it well and is rewarded with a single to get off strike. Prior guides a cut behind square on the off-side to the boundary. He tries to repeat the dose to the final ball but it shoots through low underneath his bat. Anderson will now be on strike to Philander. England need 53 off 21 overs.
Over 81 - Eng 288-8 (Prior 69, Anderson 2)
Tahir continues with the old ball for the time being. Prior comes down and misses aiming into the leg-side and wicketkeeper De Villiers whips the bails off. Did Prior get his foot back? It goes upstairs and replays show it is close. You can view those replays either way, I'd say he's out but the bails are actually dislodged between the frames when his foot goes from one side of the line to the other. Third umpire Rod Tucker eventually gives it not out and, on the replays available to him, that it is the right decision. England need 58 from 22 overs. South Africa are taking the second new ball.
Over 80 - Eng 285-8 (Prior 67, Anderson 1)
The crowd erupted when Taufel signalled for the no-ball and South Africa's celebrations were cut short. The new ball is now available. England need 60 runs off 23 overs.
More drama at Lord's as Prior holes out to Duminy off Morkel. That looks like the end for England until umpire Taufel asks to check if it is a no-ball. Turns out Morkel overstepped (the replays are clear) and Taufel relays the news just as Prior has almost made it to the boundary rope. He turns round and returns to the crease with a big grin on his face.
Over 79 - Eng 283-8 (Prior 67, Anderson 0)
James Anderson joins Prior and survives the last two balls of Tahir's over. England need 63 from 24 overs.
Another run out disaster for England, the second of the day. This time it is Swann who has to go, paying the price for his indecision after Prior called him through. Swann, who had played forward to drop a delivery from Tahir into the off-side, stuttered instead of responding immediately to the call and, in the end, Tahir was able to throw down the non-striker's stumps from close range to leave Swann just short. Swann's exit brings an end to an eighth-wicket stand of 74 in 11 overs.
Over 78 - Eng 281-7 (Prior 65, Swann 41)
Morkel is called into the attack to stem the bleeding. England have scored 52 runs in seven overs since tea. There is no change of approach as Prior continues to throw the bat, carving two down into the off-side and then just clearing mid-on for another boundary. Only just got enough on that. England need 65 runs from 25 overs. The required-rate is not a problem.
Over 77 - Eng 273-7 (Prior 58, Swann 40)
Tahir continues despite being expensive in his last over. Prior dances down to drive straight for two and then sweeps to the midwicket boundary. That one didn't land in the rough so was a bit safer for Prior to attack. England need 73 runs off 26 overs. South Africa starting to look a bit worried but still have the second new ball to take in three overs.
Over 76 - Eng 265-7 (Prior 51, Swann 39)
Swann is dealing in boundaries at the moment, dispatching a short ball from Kallis for six to midwicket and following up with a cover drive for four. England need 81 runs off 27 overs.
Over 75 - Eng 255-7 (Prior 51, Swann 29)
Not sure if Swann picked the googly or not but, either way, it ends up in the stand at midwicket. That six reduces England's requirement to exactly 100. Prior twice reverse sweeps for four and suddenly the Lord's crowd are on their feet. Prior has gone to his half-century from 107 balls, England need 91 runs off 28 overs. The second new ball is five overs away.
Over 74 - Eng 240-7 (Prior 43, Swann 22)
Prior picks off Kallis for a single into the leg-side and Swann follows suit on the other side of the wicket. Sharp running from Prior turns one into two to finish the over and means Swann will now be on strike to Tahir...
Over 73 - Eng 236-7 (Prior 40, Swann 21)
Prior tries to open up the off-side without success a couple of times but makes no mistake when Tahir drops the next one in short, pulling to the midwicket fence. Tahir responds with a beauty that spins across Prior and beats his forward defence. Swann fails to spot the googly and is struck on the pad pulling, Tahir is interested in the lbw shout - but nobody else is as it pitched comfortably outside leg-stump.
Over 72 - Eng 231-7 (Prior 36, Swann 21)
Kallis also carries on his spell after the break and is greeted by a thumping pull shot from Swann which races away to the square-leg boundary. That is followed by an even better shot to the next ball, Swann getting right across his stumps to flick it finer for four more. England require 115 runs from 31 overs.
Over 71 - Eng 221-7 (Prior 35, Swann 12)
Tahir continues after tea and starts with a maiden despite Prior's best efforts to sweep from out of the rough.
England go to tea needing another 125 runs with three wickets still standing. The dream is alive, just about. There are 33 overs remaining and South Africa will get their hands on a shiny new cherry after 10 of those. Join us for the final session at 1600h (BST).
Over 70 - Eng 221-7 (Prior 35, Swann 12)
Swann is less comfortable against the short ball but plays the first one he receives from Kallis nicely, running it down to the vacant third-man boundary. He fends off another into the leg-side to get off strike. Kallis goes right through Prior's defences, didn't miss the off-stump by much and then nips one back into his pads. Top spell from Kallis and now it is time for tea.

Based on a 2,000 calorie diet
I have made this same exact recipe for years but I bake mine in a loaf pan. I also do not use any sauce on mine. I think it is great without it.
this is really soft and light. i couldnt bring myself to eat the sauce though, it looked and smelled like a pan of melted butter and really put me off. the cake by itself was great though.
The best Date nut cake we have ever made. Moist and delicious we added one 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and doubled the diced Medjool dates for a rich and satisfying taste treat. Thank...

Pho Café is a little diner-style place that doesn't really look a lot from the outside: basic tables and chairs lining the wall, an exposed kitchen, white-wash walls and not a lot of "atmosphere". But once you're seated the atmosphere appears in the form of really good Vietnamese food – and the patrons' enthusiasm for it.
This super-casual Vietnamese diner is located in a little strip-mall on Sunset Boulevard. A strip-mall that looks a little sketchy and not very enticing – but then you notice the line streaming out of Pho Café.
If you don't mind lining up for a second, you won't regret your 20-minute wait. The service is friendly, the food arrives damn fast, and – most importantly – it is delicious.
Apart from classic Pho (there's all kinds), you can have vermicelli noodle dishes, vegetarian options, fishcakes and spring rolls and other great little starters, and an impressive beer list for a restaurant so small.
Beware: it's cash only, so bring your Benjamins. (Not that it's pricey, though. You'll get a dinner there for under $12 easily!)

This is getting weird. Now the ball is hooping around
Very happy they wrapped up the tail so quickly. Top effort from Southee and Boult, and a couple of lovely catches by Guptill and Williamson. Time for Sri Lanka to change their ball supplier?
Guptill didn't need to play there. Poor shot.

Buying Dirtbike with Bill of Sale Only? (PA)
Hey everyone,
I wanted to get some opinions on this from some of the more knowledgable folks here.
Wife and I have our first kid on the way now, so Ive been thinking about selling my XR650L, or trading it for a dirt only bike again. I found a guy locally (craigslist) that was looking to trade his dirt bike for a street legal bike, and is interested in trading straight up for my bike.
In talking with him a little more, planning on when/where we can meet to look at the bikes, I mention I have a clean title in hand, and ask him about the title for his bike. He says yeah, I have it and its clean...but its still in the original owners name, form Missouri or somewhere, and he can only really do a bill of sale for it.
I guess the title was never signed off into his name, so he is unable to transfer it to himself, and in turn transfer it to me, so he can only do the deal through a bill of sale. He says he has no way to get ahold of the old owner, so now aim wondering if this is legit or not.
I spoke with a notary to ask about this and was told that in PA any motorcycle must be transferred and registered through the state. Now, I am the type that thinks the state is always just trying to get more of your money any way they can and questioned the need to title an off-road only bike. The notary said if it was an ATV I could get away with this, but being a motorcycle, even one that is not street legal, a title has to accompany it here.
My biggest concern is to be sure this isn't a stolen bike, could care less if the state misses out of their transfer fees or not.
Am I worrying for nothing here since he does have a title, just not in his name...or is something fishy? I have owned dirt bikes, ATVs, and street bikes in the past, and have always had a title with them, $60 or so is not much to make things smooth and legit in case of a sale. I also know of guys that buy used dirt bikes without titles because they don't care, and will never have their bikes on a public use area or roadway.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Are you ever going to want to sell the bike? The problem will be even worse then.
Whether you want to do what is essentially an "under the table" transaction is up to you. Really HE should title it in his name and THEN sell it. For him to do that, is there more than just the title fee at stake for him? Like sales tax plus interest and penalties on the couple of years he dodged the tax.

Besides you who is ever gonna know? No one has ever asked me for any owners paperwork for any of mine or my sons bike. I've been to plenty of hare scrambles and different events and no one ever checked anything. Now a street legal Enduro bike I wouldn't touch without a title. Trying to get one after the fact is a real PITA.
I recently bought a used PW50 for christmas without a title? It traded hands 3~4 times before we bought it.
Get a bill of sale and get that notarized along with the original title or certificate of origin in the case of an off road only bike. Having those documents will prove ownership and really isn't that all that your really worried about? Proving that you legally purchased the bike!

I bought a used 2003 YZ250F several yrs ago for my son. I hadn't bought a dirt bike in a long time and didn't think about titles. I do have a bill of sale but that's it. I've had the bike for about 5yrs and no one has asked to prove it's mine I've bought off rd permits for it from time to time and still no one has asked for proof of ownership.

I would pass on the bike for a couple reasons.
If you are ever stopped on the bike, it can be confiscated by the Police until you prove ownership.
As long as that bike is titled in someone else's name, they can still make claim on it and say it was stolen.
Aside from being out of what you pay/trade for that bike, you risk being charged with receiving stolen property.
And as another inmate said, you'll have problems selling the bike as well.
Pennsylvania requires all motor vehicles to have a title.
Registration is only required when the bike is street legal and will be used on the road.
There is a separate type of registration for ATVs.
I'm going mainly by memory here.
I can look it up for you if you want, but I would suggest you pass on this bike or any other bike that has no title.

No need to look it up, what you posted was pretty much what the notary told me.
I am passing on this. Sending texts back and forth with this guy makes me feel more and more uneasy with how he's responding to things. Story changes bit by bit with the more questions I ask him. Just getting an overall bad feeling on it, not worth the trouble.
Thanks for all the replies though guys.

My suggestion was going to be to get copy of the title he has and do some research,,,,, first, take the VIN to a local popo and have him run it. Then do a bit of research and maybe locate the person listed on the title to get them to sign it.
If it was a bike you really couldn't live without then it might be worth the leg work.
In the end,,, an offroad bike without a title or MSO isn't that uncommon and it's up to you to make the call. Sounds like you make the right call considering the sellers attitude.

If you ever wish to ride in Canada (for Example) you may need to prove the bike is yours crossing the border either way.

Literary Criticism
What is Literary Criticism?
Literary criticism is one writer's opinion, interpretation or analysis of a story, novel, play, poem, or other work. Criticism can be a comparison of two or more works, an attempt to put one or more pieces of writing into a historical, political or social context, or an explanation of a single work. A writer writes a piece of literary criticism in order to share his or her understanding of a particular work or works of literature and to contribute to the scholarly debate about an author, a specific work, or a group of works. Literary critics offer many different points of view on the works they write about. Their interpretations can enhance your own understanding of the orginal work. Criticism can take many forms:
* an article from a print journal * an article from a journal reproduced in an online database * a chapter in a book or an entire book * excerpts of articles reprinted in a series of reference books
How do I know if an article "counts" as literary criticism?
How do I know if an article counts as literary criticism? Consider the periodical where it was originally published. Periodicals fall into two general categories:
* popular—widely available and intended for a mass audience * scholarly—highly specialized, written for an audience of scholars and academics
Popular Magazines vs. Scholarly Journals
|Popular Magazines (no literary criticism)
|Scholarly Journals (contain literary criticism)
|Early Modern Literary Studies
|Food and Wine
|Latin American Literature Review
|Popular Mechanics
|Journal of Modern Literature
