I like creating new characters; it's fun to me, especially when I randomly think of an idea for my own stories. Sometimes fanfiction, sometimes not. Either way I would like to hear all about your new character(s). I'd like their names and powers and weapons, anything you'd like to tell. One of my characters is named Shiori Owatari. She's from Bleach. Hitsugaya and meets her through her dead sister who refuses to pass over until she's looked after, and so he decides to do as bid and promises the soul whom he personally delivers to the Soul Society. Shiori isn't exactly normal either.....but she ends up dying after getting close to Hitsugaya and the gang that were stationed in the human world. He blames himself and searches endlessly for her, years later she's finally found, but not by him and he's changed throughout the long years because of it. BTW: Yes, it's a romance story. FYI: Most of mine are, but yours doesn't have to be!!!! Anyway, I just thought it'd be cool to share, if you want to! ^^
Well, I was working on a fan fiction for Bleach. Basically it takes place during the filler arc in Hueco Mundo. It's about a arrancar named Pedro Bramante who has to hunt down a soul reaper in the forest of the menos. Basically he at first hunts down the soul reaper Tomoko Hitomi but eventually turns on Aizen after regaining his memories of his life during the Shimbara rebellion. "When the heavens do not bring forth justice, man must bring it upon himself to do so. That is the meaning of Jinchuu." -Enishi Yukishiro.
of a story each night i get a little more where my family is broken into two parts oldest consisting of my oldest brother and down to me which consist of 13 of us. and the youngest which is from anyone born after me it starts with my grandparents and parents and older siblings keeping a secret but as i get older i start to change but then my grandfather dies and does not choose an elder so choas between the eldest uncle and the youngest aunt causes a spilt but what they don't realize until later when my uncle find out that my grandpa power was passed down to me when all i thought was that it was a dream so then the youngest group deciedes to take the power.but to make a long story short its a cross between bleach because the youngest weild weapons and dbz because the eldest use there strength and powers and in the end i have to stop the fighting and join whats left of my family before we take each other out theres more but it still hasn't came to me yet.
just for funsometimes i make fanficsbut i dont put it in the internet
cool cool i just dont have the drive to make one lol
but im busy cuz im goin 2 school so i have no time 4 that
Mine is Princess Tsuna, she is the leader of WIND. Tsuna and her people called wings are fighting a battle against the goverment organization S.O.L.E. She isn't your average princess she fights in the battles too. She doesn't like being spoiled and loves to be on an equal level with the wings. She and some of the other wings were taken when they were youngerand experimented on. She now has the element power of Wind, her main weapon is called a breeze. It's rod that multiplies her power by up to 10 times. I'm trying to turn my storie in to a comic type thing >.<Tsunayoshi Sawada (10th gen) Mafia boss
Well...... i've created a character and her name is Sora she is from the Legend of Zelda and she is the youngest sister of Din ,Nayru,and Farore and she gains the powers of her sisters when they are misroulsly killed by a unknown sorcerer and she wears and is completely white. Once she had fallen in love with link when he enters the temple of time and she follows him for awhile and after he deafets Ganondorf then when link comes out of his hut one morning and sees the tree branches aroud his house move and he shoots her in the arm with his arrow and she falls out and hurts her self and he nurses her back to heath and well ......... lets just say love blossoms
These are pretty interesting ideas! Oh and yay for the love!!! ^^
I have too his name is Toto he's a ninja who has telepathic powers and he accedentily killed his whole clan when he hit puberty and his powers went crazy. the story is he has to deal with his clans death and figure out how and why he got these powers and at the same time bounty hunters are trying to kill him for his crimes and he had one other person in his clan with the same powers hunting him too. it takes place in a futureistic olden time kind of setting kind of like naruto except with acctual ninjas not boys who think there ninjas even though you can see his face and he's wairing orange "It's Time To Take A Dirt Nap!!" - Dead Leaves, #666
I have created not my own chararter, but my own Gundam. It's systems & wepons are almost identical to the Strike Freedom's used by Kira Yamato. It has the same Dragoon System in it's wings, the same energy shields both of it's arms and machine guns in it's sholder and head. Besides the color of the machine there is only one other differnce. Unlike the Strike Freedom that has two Beam Sabers, and two beam rifles. The Shadow Freedom only has one beam saber & one beam rife, because it carries a long chain weapon with a long blade at one end of the chain and a short blade at the other. The blades are surrounded by beams which makes them like beam sabers, or the beams can be deactivated and then they can used like normal blades (Think of it as a chain with a beam saber attached to one end & a beam dagger attached to the other). The chain can be used as both an offensive & deffensive wepon. Because of it's nuclear engine along with the Stike Freedom & Infante Justice the Shadow Freedom is one of the three most Powerful Gundams ever built. And because of the pitch blach color of the machine & the dark purple color of it's beams the the machine is not completely invisible, but in certain area such as space it is very hard to see. Because of that, and the fact that it can travel over short distaces at very high speeds; of the three gundams it is the best at sneak attacks.
That sounds pretty cool.
I'm not going to reveal hardly anything due to the fact that I am trying to contact Shirow Masamune for publication. My character is part of the Ghost in the Shell manga/anime. She is a high ranking military officer who is currently serving as the Chief of Ground Staff of the Japanese Self Defense Force. Her name is Hatsumi Shinobi (Shinobi is not her family's original last name) and she is a cyborg with a full prosthetic body. Most of my character's story and such is explained in my season script that I am working on and I am halfway finished. I have 4 drawings on My Manga page if you guys wish to check them out. When I am finished with my season, I'll upload it to My Manga page so you guys can read it. My profiile picture is Hatsumi Shinobi dressed in her olive green military uniform."After a thousand battles, one only sees death!" -Chaos Space Marine Predator (Warhammer 40,000)
"When the heavens do not bring forth justice, man must bring it upon himself to do so. That is the meaning of Jinchuu." -Enishi Yukishiro.
from my own original stories, which are based in original settings. I don't generally like to do fanfiction unless it's a special request. My very favorite originals:1. Luna Helio (male) from Luna Chronicles-Weapon: Nirvana (armlet)-Special skills/abilities: Wind elemental control; mind reading; healing.-Distinguishing features: White blue hair; green eyes; youthfulness. 2. Aiden Light (male) from Light-Weapon: Regina de Coeli (magenta armlet/glove)-Special skills/abilities: Shade (loosely defined as werewolf); innate charm; incredible physical strength.-Distinguishing features: Green eyes; black hair; boyish, cheerful face.

LEWISTOWN - The Juniata Valley will likely experience its third measurable snowfall in a week today.
After a formidable snow shower on Monday evening and a storm that dumped four to six inches on Wednesday, the National Weather Service in State College is forecasting another three to five inches of snow will fall in the area today.
The weather forecasting service has issued a winter weather advisory for the entire Juniata Valley, which will be in effect from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. Saturday. The NWS said an area of low pressure will pass just to the south of Pennsylvania, causing "a widespread three-to-five-inch snowfall over all of central Pennsylvania."
The snow is predicted to begin at around daybreak today and continue for a period of 6 to 8 hours before tapering off.
The snowfall is expected to make roadways hazardous and limit visibility to as little as a quarter of a mile during the heaviest periods of precipitation.
Temperatures are forecasted to be in the mid-20s during the snowfall with winds out of the east at five to 10 mph.
For the complete five-day AccuWeather forecast for the Juniata Valley, see page A12 of today's edition.

Genetic engineering: Who knows where it will go
Genetic engineering: Who knows where it will go
Chinese low-lactose calf is likely just the beginning of dairy applications.
by Dennis Halladay, Hoard's Dairyman Western Editor
Put on your Star Wars T-shirt; this is a subject where one's imagination can run wild.
Relatively speaking, genetic engineering is still in its infancy. Practical applications have begun to trickle out of labs, but "some day" is still a far more common status than "it's here now."
In terms of dairy applications, we've mapped the bovine genome and are already using a basic version of cloning, but there's little in the sci-fi category.
That just changed in China, however, where researchers announced earlier this month that they had produced a Holstein calf, born in April, that is genetically engineered to make milk with lower levels of lactose.
We note, however, that the announcement was as much about the trait as it was about the calf still being alive. Two other genetically engineered calves with the same trait died within a day of being born.
The commercial point of such an animal – potentially tens of millions of them, in fact – would be to provide milk and other dairy products for consumers who have limited ability to digest the natural sugar that is lactose.
Sixty percent of China's 1.4 billion people are believed to be lactose-intolerant.
So here we go. Besides low-lactose animals, what other bits of genetic engineering magic might also be possible?
Higher protein content might be one. Lower somatic cell counts might be another. Resistance to diseases would be huge, especially to E. coli, the leading cause of sickness and death in consumers caused by food-borne disease outbreaks. Is there room in the lab to create resistance to Johne's disease? That would be outstanding, too. How about higher feed efficiency and lower production of manure and greenhouse gases?
It's probably too crazy, though, to hope for a cow that doesn't eat or can milk herself.

Want the guy with the ACL eh?
I'd be ok with all but Darius Slay ... not in love with guys who play football but shy away from contact.
I'll be amazed if Carradine goes in the first round though.
Did you see the video of Tanks workout? He is the best DE in this draft. No acl injury he goes top 5 without question. And what better team for him to go to than a team with a couple good ends already there and can let him recover.
As for Slay, you don't get many opportunities to get 6' corners who can run sub 4.4 and are good cover guys. And I don't see any lack of physical play with him. He seems to enjoy hitting and is active against the run
Last edited by slipknottin; 04-25-2013 at 08:15 AM.
And I'm not sure which Slay films you've been watching but he plays like Wilma Flintstone (hitting wise). He is definitely a talent in coverage but we run so much zone I'd be afraid of him matched up against the bigger and more explosive receivers in the league.

Love the first 3 rounds. I really believe Tank will be the pick tonight, unless some top 10 talent drops. Sio Moore is a guy I just started watching and I'd be really excited with him as our new SAM. Are pass rush would get a great boost from this draft for years to come. Throw in Slay and are defense is looking to be much improved.
Slip, do you know if the 40 of 4.75 and 1.63 split was right or was it the 4.9ish? Either way its highly impressive.

In the playoffs.
Four consecutive 20-point performances. In the playoffs. And 3 Cups with the Wings.
Some have thrown around Shanahan -- Shanny? 72 playoff points (44% of Fedorov's total in 65% of the games).
Fedorov's points-per-game in the playoffs eclipsed Yzerman's -- and is almost identical to Howe's.
Further, only 18 players have more playoff points than Fedorov if you only count his resume as a Wing. Of them, only Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Jari Kurri, Glenn Anderson, Joe Sakic, Steve Yzerman, Bryan Trottier, Jean Beliveau, and Mario Lemieux have more with just one team. And four of those guys are associated with the Edmonton Oilers dynasty of the 80s.
No, Fedorov isn't a lock. But he should be (and yes, it feels like I've made this argument before...)
I agree - and think Fedorov deserves to go up -- but it certainly won't be for a long time if it ever does happen.
For those bringing up Osgood: Ozzie will need to make the Hall of Fame before his number is retired, which is not guaranteed.

GrillMaster Experience Heats Up
Contact: , 308-697-3486;
Grilling has long been an American tradition, one that extends nearly year-round for many people. That has also produced a hunger for more knowledge about grilling techniques. The beef checkoff is partnering in a nationwide series of grilling events to help fuel demand for beef, as Brian Baxter reports from South Carolina. Watch the video here.
The Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.

A couple nights ago (Jan. 6 2012) our internet was shut down for 2 hrs. This was the result of my son being ask to join a XBOX Live party and a person in the party used our IP address to shut our internet down. I am not sure how this was accomplished but they also admitted that they had initiated this. His name is [MOD EDIT] and his gamer tag is [MOD EDIT]. Is there something that can be done about this person?
Apparently this person has done this to other people as well and he thinks it is quite humourous.
We had to reset all our computers wireless internet adapters and change our IP address.
This is of great concern for us as well as other XBOX users and we look forward to hear from you soon.
Thank You.
Ok, first off you can't call out other gamertags on the forums here. Use the dashboard reporting tools to report him. Go to his bio and select File Complaint and follow the directions listed.Second, you were the victim of a DDoS (Direct Denial of Service) attack. You can contact your internet service provider and ask them to change your ip address so this person can't do this again. Third, DDoS attacks are illegal in most countries. You can contact your local law enforcement agencies and report the gamertag to them. They will investigate (they can subpeona you ip stats from your internet provider to see if the attack came and where it came from) and take care of it. (won't the person be surprised to see the police at his door to arrest him).Finally, if you are attacked again in the future unplug your modem to force a restart cycle. That should temporarily reset the ip so you can get back online.Good luck.

^What he said. Took the words out of my mouth. DDOS attacks are highly illegal.
Thank you for the information, I really appreciate it!
If you recieve another message or invite from him, select "Block Communications" when you open it. That is how they extract your information in the first place. Also, if your Network is faster than the attackers, they will be shutdown instead of you, just a side note. Best of Luck my friend.
Will do! Thank you!
^ onyx is the answerman rofl i see him everywhere :D Gl btw hope you get internet back.
There's no way to really stop it, but, if you're IP is changed then you're safe from him.
If it happens again, call your ISP and request an IP change or do it yourself.
Don't bother reporting the DDOS attack to any law enforcement establishment, as they're not going to care. Seriously, they won't even bat an eye.
Simply don't accept any party invites from shady characters you don't know.

Even though the dust has settled for the 2013 Dancing with The ARK's Stars. The excitement is still in the air.
Our Mirror Ball Sponsors, Judge Mary Blunt and Sam Blunt, said it all "What a wonderful night it was for us and for everyone we talked to! It was just a great mix of people who care about The ARK and people who came out to cheer on those who care about The ARK and to support Alzheimer's awareness. Our guests had a blast – most were new to the event, so I hope they are excited and come again and spread the word! Everything was so lovely, from the decorations to the dancing to the silent auction to the food and drink. What a success!!! We love that all the donations stay to help our families right here in our communities."
"We love the camaraderie that the event builds among all who participate and all who attend. What a magical night, to bring awareness to Alzheimer's and to bring a sense of unity for everyone. At the event, I talked to several families who didn't have Alzheimer's in their family but they knew someone who did . . . they were just learning about the disease. Education about Alzheimer's is, I believe, such a key to enhancing the support and to funding research until we figure out what is causing this disease or how to stop it. There must be answers." For those living day to day with the disease the answer is The ARK. The ARK offers the caregivers a much needed break, support groups, education and private consultations. The care receivers enroll in stimulating fun-filled days of social activities that may be missing in their lives after diagnosis. Beyond the respite is a myriad of services The ARK offers including educational workshops for caregivers in the workplace, development of services for underserved communities through The NOAH Project.
A story to remember: Several couples attended the event who are affected by Alzheimer's. They had a wonderful night, dancing during the intermissions of the competition and laughing and sharing with friends throughout the night. They were comfortable in attending and had a very memorable night.
Each of the celebrity dancers gave their "all" to the event: from extra lessons, to costumes, to raising a record setting amount of votes and awareness to support the mission of The ARK. Thank you to Mildred Blanton, People's Choice Award winner ; Con Chellis, Judges Award winner; Cammy Groome; Margie Pizarro; Ellen Priest; Jordy Tupper; Bill Summers; and Richard Waring. Carolina Dancesport professional dancers' choreography is terrific and they are a pleasure to work with. All of you made the evening magical and entertaining – one that no one wanted to end! We will look forward to next year to see who and what is in the works!
The bar for this event was raised again! The volunteers do an outstanding job transforming a gym into a ballroom. Special thanks to Pixie and Mark Melfi. The lighting and DJ services provided by Art Dantzler with Audio Design works diligently to enhance the surroundings with the help of Herm Uyak. Steve Mandell, Head of School at Pinewood Preparatory School, added so much to the evening as Emcee by adlibbing and improvising in his creative way to keep the audience energized and focused on the cause and having fun. The staff at Pinewood, especially Jim Ruggiero and his staff, is wonderful to work with. Professional photographers Jim Lotz and Douglas Carr Cunningham donate hours of their time to cover the action. Summerville Police reservists and cadets provide security and parking assistance. And so many others help, it would be nearly impossible to thank everyone—but we are grateful for each and every person who lends themselves to making this a very special evening!
Special thanks to our two top sponsors, Mirror Ball Sponsors Mary and Sam Blunt and Fox Trot Sponsor Dr. Kelly Wilkes Ford. Please visit our website www.theARKofSC.org to see all our sponsors and volunteers.

6 Things Everyone Wants To Share And Nobody Wants To Read
A lot of people talk about how "interconnected" the Internet has made us, which is in some ways true and in some ways a lot of horseshit. People who talk about how blogs and Twitter have made it possible for a dude in Seattle to read about what some guy in New York had for breakfast don't seem to realize that no one cares what the guy in New York had for breakfast.
Via National Institutes of Health
But it was a bagel, if you were wondering.
Prior to the Internet, though, the guy in New York would have had to share that information over the phone or around the water cooler, and he would have been told by whoever he was sharing it with that they didn't care. At some point it would have dawned on him that no one gave a shit. The Internet allows him to tweet or blog it, and indulge the illusion that all of his followers are reading about his bagel choice and are vitally interested in it.
Via Evan-Amos
You can sleep easy now that you know it was a cinnamon raisin bagel.
While we might look down on that narcissistic New Yorker, most of us have fallen victim to the same illusion one way or another. Like if you've ever expected people to read:
Your Tweets
The big thing about Twitter, and blogs before it, was that it was supposed to "democratize" content generation. In "old media," there was a clique at the top of the pyramid -- celebrities, corporations, etc. -- that dominated all the content, and you had to get your news and entertainment from either them or not at all.
Via Wikimedia Commons
"You'll remember the Maine the way William Randolph Hearst wants you to remember the Maine!"
With Twitter, so the story went, anybody could become an Internet celebrity by coming up with humorous or insightful tweets, and gather millions of followers, bypassing the "media machine." So we took away the power of the restrictive media overlords forcing people to only pay attention to celebrities, and let the public choose who they wanted to listen to. Of course, fully wielding the freedom of choice to listen to any individual or organization they wanted to, the public chose to pay attention to celebrities.
Via Luke Ford
And "celebrities."
And the celebrities, of course, are mostly listening to each other. So sure, now Joe Schmoe has the infrastructure to get his message out to the whole world cheaply and quickly, and the whole world does not give two owl's droppings.
If you think that having 248 followers means that 248 people (or almost 248 people) must be reading everything you say, I have bad news for you. A Pew survey showed that almost half of all Twitter users basically don't read a single thing anyone else says (checking "every few weeks" or even less). Twenty-one percent literally never read anyone else's tweets.
Even out of the 36 percent that checks at least once a day, that doesn't mean they're reading your tweets when they check. One blogger ran some analysis on his Twitter followers and found that they followed, on average, 2,778 accounts apiece, and unless they have very slow jobs, are clearly not reading most of those tweets.
And even if they did have that much free time, they'd probably use it to surf for porn.
For some people, following a person on Twitter seems to be basically their version of clicking a "Like" button on Facebook or putting a bumper sticker of that person on their car ... except the bumper sticker requires more commitment.
Via Irregular Times
Which is not always a good thing.
Even though some part of us must have known that nobody wanted to read our "I just went to the bathroom" updates, the fact that there's no real feedback on who is or isn't reading (unless you go looking for it) means it's easy to keep the illusion alive. So we keep going with our attempts at witty bon mots and pocket philosophy, thinking we're participating in the great Internet dialogue when we are, most likely, muttering to ourselves like a homeless person.
Your Online Quiz Results
Which Harry Potter character are you? Which superhero are you? How girly are you? How evil are you? You name the useless question and there will be an online quiz to help you find the answer, often giving you your test results as a descriptive paragraph and icon-like graphic to post elsewhere and show people.
Do you know who is interested in those test results? You.
Sure, some of the quizzes can be really fun for you to see how well the description matches or doesn't match your personality, or what silly character it identifies you as, but it's infinitely less interesting to Internet strangers. Say there is a guy who posts as dragoninja16 who you only remember as a guy who posted a funny lolcat image once. How interested would you be in finding out that he most resembles Professor McGonagall, even though he was totally expecting to get Hagrid?
Yet there are massive threads in almost every forum on the Internet with pages and pages of people posting their results from some online quiz, often with nothing other than the quiz-provided graphic and paragraph, and since quiz-makers usually only make less than 10 possible answers, everything after the first page is a repeat. People are literally just posting the same 10 pictures and paragraphs over and over again.
It's a fair bet nobody is reading all the other replies, yet inexplicably, everyone believes that all the other posters want to see theirs. There is no way you have a genuine interest in the three people before you being 25 percent, 56 percent and 38 percent evil, yet you know everyone is waiting on pins and needles to see that you are 42 percent evil, and that it is vital enough for you to make a second post clarifying that you think one of the questions was worded badly and it should have been 44 percent.
Almost every time, "Guys, I found this quiz, why don't you take it and post your quiz results," really means, "I took this quiz and I want you to see my quiz results, and to avoid sounding like a self-centered douche, I'm going to be polite and pretend to be interested in yours."
Your Chat Logs
One thing almost everyone is positive that the world at large will be interested in seems to be chatlogs. There was a point in time you could not swing a virtual dead cat around in a forum without hitting a "Post your Omegle/Chatroulette chatlogs here" thread.
Via Christian Schrimm
Like Schrodinger's cat or something.
Those were programs that would hook you up with a random chat partner, who would then try to show you their penis. If no penises were being shown, the next likely option was that one person would try to "out-weird" the other one by acting in a manner that a high schooler would come up with if asked to evoke the words "random" and "crazy."
They would then interpret any reaction from the other person as that person being totally flustered and freaked out by such wacky, unprecedented randomness, and post their amazing and unique adventure in a thread with a ton of other nearly identical adventures.
It would usually go something like this:
Along the same lines, people often take chatlogs of IM or IRC conversations with friends, and post them on a public forum full of people who don't know those friends, expecting them to find it hilarious. It's probably even worse than a stranger trolling chats because it's basically the same thing in stereo.
To be fair, that's what all good friends do; make little inside jokes that crack each other up and only really mean something between you. It's the glue that bonds friends closer together, which also means it's completely meaningless and boring tripe to anyone outside of that circle.
It's like excessive public displays of affection between couples. When you post what a wacky conversation you and Jesse had the other night, you are basically sticking your tongue down his throat and groping his ass in front of an entire forum. It's healthy that you love each other so much but, you know, let's not see all of that.

Read the title and subtitle of this book and you might be forgiven for thinking it another in a long line of memoirs written by cranky moms about their difficult teenage daughters.
Food issues, body image problems, eating anxieties.
We've been there before. Haven't we?
Not in this particular way, we haven't. Which might in itself be worth a moment of reflection. Have we crossed a line, with the appearance of Dara-Lynn Weiss' new book, a memoir of dieting? Successful dieting, we should note. But painful, too.
For let's cut straight to the heart of the matter: this book is about a 7-year-old girl.
The daughter of New York City-based writer Weiss – called "Bea" in the narrative – is an overweight kid at the beginning of the story, which chronicles a year or so in the life of the family (which also includes Weiss' husband and son). A year spent putting Bea on a diet. A year spent measuring portions, fiddling with scales, doling out low-calorie snacks, in an effort to make Bea weigh what the doctors' charts said she should.
Weiss made the decision to put Bea, who seems to be a delightful and preternaturally patient child, on a diet after the pediatrician, at her daughter's 7th birthday checkup, told Weiss that Bea's 93 pounds (on a 4-foot, 4-inch frame) qualified the girl as "obese" according to the charts used by medical professionals.
That's where Bea's – and her family's – dieting journey began. Weiss made no bones about what she was doing: with her family, with the "nutrition" doctor the family soon employed, and publicly. As Weiss tells it, in the opening chapters of this memoir, it was a decision she knew would raise eyebrows.
"So, sure, I wondered what other moms thought about me," Weiss writes here, "and how they might judge my actions or inaction. But I was much more concerned about the judgments Bea herself would be subjected to. I wanted to protect her from the problems inherent in growing up as a 'fat girl.' I knew people were beginning to view her that way – it was impossible not to – and that their associations with that label were almost always negative."
Here's where the waters grow murky. Everyone who has been paying attention the last two decades or so knows that American kids are getting heavier, and thus potentially less healthy. So there is no doubt cause for concern in many parents who are dealing with kids that are struggling with weight problems.
In one sense, Weiss' tale of her own family's experience is a brave foray into topics we don't normally discuss: things like how to limit portions for a little girl who is busy, active, voraciously hungry, and – not unimportantly – keenly observant of the fact that her friends and younger brother are being fed different foods. and more of them, than she is.
This might just be a discussion worth having, right about now.
However. However.
There are things about Weiss' story, and how it came to be, that make it hard to root for this book. (Which is plain-spoken, almost unvarnished, in its telling; Weiss doesn't take pains to make herself look particularly good, in much of it, and she is open about the difficulties Bea's diet caused with her family members, friends, other moms, even her husband. "'I'm done,' he would say," she writes of her husband, Jeff. And then she describes her response: "Well, I can't be done," I responded at one point. "Someone has to do this.")
The backstory on "The Heavy" is that it began, last spring, with an essay Weiss wrote for Vogue magazine about her decision to put Bea on a diet. That story – which included photos of Dara-Lynn and her daughter – caused an enormous outcry in many quarters, ranging from popular media websites to mommy blogs to average parents. People felt Weiss was putting Bea on display at a vulnerable point in her life, among other reactions.
In "The Heavy," though Weiss writes that she learned lessons from that Vogue episode – she expresses regret over allowing Bea to be included in the photographs – she said she is more than ever determined to be at the crux of the national conversation about children and weight.
Her motives might be entirely laudable; who can say? Best to be generous, and assume she wants her story, and Bea's, to help others. But even with this sort of context for the book, there are passages in "The Heavy" that make for uncomfortable reading – especially for those who are parents.
Weiss writes about how she decided to offer Bea glasses of Diet Coke, in restaurants, when other kids were drinking calorie-filled beverages. She writes about how she gave her daughter 100-calorie packs of cookies and salty snacks to keep her happy with the strict meal plan she was on, rather than organic granola bars and yogurt and hummus, like Bea's friends were eating. She describes weighing Bea's jeans, just to prove that the clothes her daughter was wearing for one weigh-in added ounces to her number.
Perhaps the most poignant example involves a scene when Weiss picked her daughter up after school for a visit to a friend's house. On the way, Weiss offered her daughter an after-school snack, and Bea asked politely for a hot cocoa. The pair went to Starbucks, where Weiss ordered a cocoa for Bea. Then Weiss describes in detail the way she grilled the barista about how many calories were in a kid-sized cocoa.
When he didn't know – and had to check with others – she fretted and fumed. When the calorie total was produced, and Weiss learned that the drink Bea was sipping also had whipped cream on top, without her instruction, she lost it.
"I grabbed Bea's cup and pulled the lid off. There, floating on the surface, was a bobbing cloud of whipped cream."
"'She can't have this,' I said gloomily. I felt upset at the position I was now in because of this counterperson's careless assumption. Now I had to be the bad guy, because he had made an unauthorized addition to the drink we'd ordered."
"I knew he thought I was crazy, getting tense over 30 calories' worth of whipped cream. Well, I rationalized, what if Bea had been lactose-intolerant and he'd added milk to her tea? Why did I not have the same authority to get upset?"
Weiss takes her daughter's cocoa away, and throws it in the trash. Later, on the subway, she apologizes to Bea, who tells her mom "it's OK."
Weiss may have wanted to start a conversation – in Vogue, and now in this memoir – and she may, in ways both intentional and less so, have succeeded.
But after closing "The Heavy," the mind of this reader kept returning to the figure of 7-year-old Bea, watching forlornly as her prized cocoa landed in the trash.
Heartwrenching – and in more ways, likely, than the author intended.

EAST LIVERPOOL -The Potters withstood the Warriors' charge.
A 9-0 run by West Branch pulled the Warriors to within one point with 2:53 left to play in the third quarter, but the East Liverpool boys countered with a run of their own to pull away for a 69-59 victory Tuesday night at Potter Fieldhouse.
With the win, the Potters are now 4-11 on the season. The win snapped East Liverpool's four-game losing streak.

"Our kids got after it all night long," third-year East Liverpool head coach Nate Conley said. "They worked hard. They got after it. We have had tough games all year."
With the loss, the Warriors drop to 4-8.
"Basketball is a game of runs," West Branch head coach Lou Sellaroli, who made his return to the bench this year, said. "They had their runs, and we had our runs.
Fact Box
East Liverpool 69, West Branch 59
WB (59): Jacob Griffith 3 1-1 7, Lucas Austin 0 0-0 0, Jerian Thomas 4 1-4 10, Beau Taylor 4 2-2 13, Drake Lohness 2 0-0 5, Dustin Greenwalt 0 0-0 0, Kip DeShields 4 11-13 21, Zach Mucklo 1 0-0 3, Matt Edie 0 0-0 0, Matt Meiter 0 0-0 0. Totals: 18 15-22 59.

3-Pointers: West Branch: 8 (Taylor 3, Shields 2, Thomas, Lohnes, Mucklo); East Liverpool: 6 (Cunningham 3, Reynolds 3)
"They have played a lot of good teams this year. They are well coached. They have some good players.
"We just didn't finish. We got close, but we weren't able to finish it off. It is tough having to play catch up.
"I am proud of our effort to get back into the game, but we have got to finish plays. We missed some foul shots. We missed some opportunities."
Three players scored in double digits to lead the way for each team.
Hayden Cunningham netted a team-high 19 points to lead the way for East Liverpool, Kade Reynolds delivered 13 points and Derek Thompson ended up with 13 points. Cunningham and Reynolds each hit three 3-pointers in the game.
Also for the Potters, D.J. Austin tallied eight points, Austin Emmerling and Aaron Long each collected four points and John Rickerd and Isaac Davidson each recorded two points.
"We knew they had some good shooters," Sellaroli said. "Cunningham is a good shooter."
For the Warriors, Kip DeShields scored a game-high 21 points to lead the way, Beau Taylor recorded 13 points and Jerian Thomas tallied 10 points.
Also for West Branch, Jacob Griffith finished with seven points, Drake Lohnes ended up with five points and Zach Mucklo contributed three points.
"They slowed it down and pounded it inside," Conley said. "I thought all four of our big kids did a good job. John Rickerd started on him, and he did a good job. We played tremendous defense against their big kid. Our guards did a good job on the perimeter. That is the best defense we have played all year."
The Warriors scored the first five points of the game, but the Potters countered by scoring the next 13 points to force West Branch to take a timeout with 3:52 left to play in the quarter with the Potters out in front, 13-5. The Potters' spurt was keyed by three 3-pointers.
The five-point lead proved to be the biggest lead of the game for the visitors, and once East Liverpool took the lead at 6-5, the Potters never trailed again.
East Liverpool led 17-13 at the end of the quarter.
The Potters used a pair of runs in the second stanza to keep the Warriors at bay. A putback by Thompson put the Potters ahead 25-17, and a 6-0 spurt capped by two free throws by Emmerling made the score 31-22 with 2:24 left to play before halftime.
Jerian Thomas drained a 3-pointer with about two seconds left in the half to pull the Warriors to within 35-30 at the break.
"They did a good job on the boards in the first half," Sellaroli said. "We did a better job in the second half. I think that was the difference in the first half, but I think we responded in the second half. I don't know what the exact numbers are, but I know we did better in the second half."
In the third quarter, 3-pointers by Cunningham and Reynolds helped push the Potters lead out to 43-33. Things were going East Liverpool's way, but the Warriors countered with a 9-0 run to pull within 43-42 on a three-point play by DeShields with 2:53 showing on the scoreboard.
The Potters responded with another mini spurt to take a 49-44 lead into the fourth quarter.
"I knew we weren't a 3-11 basketball team," Conley said. "We beat a pretty good team tonight who is from a tough conference. We are going to continue to work hard and improve."
East Liverpool ripped off an early 6-0 in the quarter to build a 55-46 lead, and the Potters were able to hold off the Warriors from that point. The Potters led by as many as 12 points in the quarter.
"This is a tough place to play no matter what," Sellaroli said. "They keep playing hard. They made the plays down the stretch."
After committing 35 turnovers in Friday night's loss to Steubenville, East Liverpool did a much-better job taking care of the basketball against West Branch. The Potters committed 13 turnovers in the win over the Warriors.
"We did a much-better job," Conley said. "I think part of it is we want to go 100 m.p.h. We need to change the tempo. We need to change the pace.
"We did some different things tonight. I was really proud of our kids for listening to what we told them to do."
"Our guards played well tonight. D.J. Austin played really well. Kade had a tremendous game."
East Liverpool won the JV game, 66-56. Dallas Brewer recorded a game-high 17 points to lead the way for the Potters, while Owen Crawford and Davidson each delivered 10 points. Luke Wallbrown tallied 10 points for the Warriors.
East Liverpool's next game is Tuesday at home against Claymont.
"Claymont is really good this year," Conley said. "They play in a tough conference. They play in the ECOL, and they are one of the top teams in the conference.
"We still have some things we need to work on. The kids worked hard tonight, and they practiced well. I think that was one of the biggest things with us winning the game.
West Branch is scheduled to return to action Friday night at Salem.
"It is a league game," Sellaroli said. "It is a rivalry game. It starts the second half of our league play. They are a good team. They are balanced. They have a good player. It is going to be tough going into Salem."
East Liverpool honored the senior members of its boys' and girls' swim teams at halftime.

Buffalo CarShare is adding a new hub at Buffalo State College.
The nonprofit agency – which rents vehicles to its members at an hourly or daily rate – now has a fleet of 14 vehicles at 11 hubs throughout Buffalo with the addition of a 2013 Toyota Prius and a 2013 Kia Soul at its newest location on the Elmwood Avenue campus.
The Buffalo State community is invited to learn more about the program and become members at a kickoff event at 12:15 p.m. today on the first-floor lobby of the Campbell Student Union.
The partnership between the college and Buffalo CarShare – made possible with funding from the John R. Oishei Foundation – not only provides students access to a vehicle, but is projected to free up as many as 30 parking spaces as the program grows.
"This helps us respond to student concerns about available parking and demonstrates our commitment to sustainability," said Michael LeVine, the college's vice president for finance and management.

I'm going to strip one of my BK5 knives and send it off to a buddy that is a maker and ask him to look at the simplest mod he can think of to build from the BK5 using it as a "blank".
I suspect pinned bolster on the front, clip the butt to shorten and pin slabs on the butt, and then Corby bolt scales in place is the lowest effort approach.
July 24, 2014, 12:01 PM
That will be very pretty. I loved my 5 when I had it. However there was a maker out in Oklahoma who I was desperate to get one of his blades. So I sold him my five for a GOOD price, along with a discount on when he starts making knives again :D

Corby bolt.
Both the Camillus and KA-BAR produced Beckers appear to have nominally 3/16" pin/screw/bolt holes.
I got our old Camillus BK5 kitchen knife out and knocked the rust off of it.
I think it would look pretty good to knock off the guard and have a nice long grip with pinned on scales.
Also, note that the full flat grind is actually a very shallow hollow grind that would have a radius the size of a dinner table.

The NPD Group, a top market analytics research
firm has released a new study [press release]
that might surprise some. It claims that in 2010 the rate of users who
pirate content on peer-to-peer (P2P) networks dropped to 9 percent, down
drastically from 16 percent reported in 2007. This marks a dramatic
reversal of the trend of increasing
piracy rates in recent years.
The report argues that piracy is not a
"fundamental" problem for the media industry, given the relatively
low levels. This stands in stark contrast to statements in the Digital Media
Report 2010 [PDF] by the International Federation of the Phonographic
Industry (IFPI), the parent organization of America's RIAA. The IFPI
stated in the report, "[The industry will] struggle to survive unless we
address the fundamental problem of piracy."
Warner Music, a RIAA member takes a bit more
conservative approach. In a recent
presentation to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, Warner
suggested that only 13 percent of Americans pirate. The Warner report
also offers some disclaimers about the harmful impact of pirates, stating that
most pirates do
spend money on content and that they "tend to drive high discovery for
The numbers from the NPD Group are admittedly
slanted, though, due to a significant event in the industry. They were
taken from the final quarter of 2010, when the RIAA
scored a major lawsuit win that forced the U.S.'s most popular P2P client,
LimeWire, to cease distribution. Thus the dip in P2P filesharing may be
only temporary, due to the loss of one of the highest profile clients.
States Russ Crupnick, entertainment industry
analyst for NPD, "Limewire was so popular for music file trading, and for
so long, that its closure has had a powerful and immediate effect on the number
of people downloading music files from peer-to-peer services and curtailed the
amount being swapped. In the past, we've noted that hard-core peer-to-peer
users would quickly move to other Web sites that offered illegal music file
sharing. It will be interesting to see if services like Frostwire and
Bittorrent take up the slack left by Limewire, or if peer-to-peer music
downloaders instead move on to other modes of acquiring or listening to
Today, many of the most used clients are
unofficial community releases of past P2P clients that were banned by lawsuits.
Examples include Kazaa Lite and WireShare (formerly LimeWire Pirate
Edition), etc. According to the NPD Group's data, FrostWire (traditional
P2P) and uTorrent (Torrent P2P) increased in use, as well, in the wake of the
Limewire shutdown.
While the study did consider BitTorrent traffic (a
specialized P2P protocol), it did not consider new forms of illegal content
distribution, such as one-click downloads, illegally streamed content, such as
unauthorized posts to video sharing sites like YouTube.
The latter seems particularly prevalent, as you can go to YouTube and find
virtually any song you can imagine -- mostly from unofficial user-submitted
uploads (though the major label industry does maintain an official presence on
the site via channels like Vevo).
Media organizations have tried unsuccessfully to
sue YouTube's owner Google over such posts. The
television industry championed the biggest such case, when Viacom sued Google, demanding $1B
USD in damages for pirated content hosted on YouTube.
The media giant's case fell apart, though, after it
came out that Viacom employees uploaded
content under fake screennames to make it look like infringed content.
The study also only surveyed those 13 and up.
quote: 3 Questions for Sascha von Bornheim: Q: You can take one item with you to a deserted island. What is it? SvB: A boat. Q: Why? SvB: Well, it's an island. I assume it's surrounded by water. Q: You can't get off the island. The point of the question is to find out what you'd take with you if you had to stay there permanently. SvB: A gun. Q: You would shoot yourself? SvB: Evidently. I mean, the island is deserted. Who else am I going to shoot? Rick James? Oh wait, he's already dead. Now, I didn't know him personally, but I think the cocaine might have had something to do with it. It's a hell of a drug.

Even when I wasn't working full time and leading a busy lifestyle, I hated taking the time to visit the grocery store.
For this reason, I have always searched for ways to stock up on things we use most around the house. Evidently this trait was passed along to my daughter, who also likes to keep her pantry and her freezer stocked.
My daughter, Lindsay, is a military wife, and in her travels from one Army base to another, she has had the opportunity to make friends from all over the world. But it was another military wife, coincidentally also from Ohio, who shared a family recipe that Lindsay, in turn, shared with me and it has quickly become one of our favorites. This recipe for homemade garlic breadcrumbs - we were told - was passed down through several generations of Italian grandmothers and can be used in a multitude of ways: flavoring meatballs for soups and sauces; breading for chicken, fish and pork; as a filler for meatloaf; and as stuffing, whether you are making rolled stuffed beef or simply filling mushrooms for appetizers.

Planning ahead helps keep a busy lifestyle under control, and that is especially true when deciding what to make for dinner. Breadcrumbs are used in so many dishes, not just as fillers but also as flavor enhancers and coatings for everything from meats to vegetables, that it makes sense to keep them handy. But store-bought breadcrumbs can be boring and lack the flavor that real, homemade breadcrumbs can offer. This recipe makes about four gallons of breadcrumbs that are easily frozen, and their flavors stay fresh for several months.
What's great about this recipe is that it makes a huge amount and freezes well. When we want to use it in a recipe, we can simply scoop out what we need and put the rest back in the freezer. It's as simple as that.
When I make the breadcrumbs, I use my food processor. A blender or small food chopper will work just as well, although it will take a little more time. After the bread is grated, I pour it into a large bowl. Even my largest bowl wasn't big enough to be able to get in there and really mix the ingredients, so I used my large enamel canning pot.
The recipe calls for Romano and Parmesan cheeses, and it would be possible to grate your own hard cheeses fresh from the wheel, but to save time I bought mine already grated. If you prefer, you can substitute the more expensive pecorino romano in addition to the grated Parmesan.
Fact Box
4 loaves whole wheat bread, grated
24 ounces grated Romano cheese
12 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
4 whole heads of garlic, grated or chopped fine
6 bunches scallions with tops, chopped fine
2 large bunches parsley, chopped fine
Mix all ingredients together. Store in freezer bags and use as needed.
To save time peeling the garlic, my husband helped with this step. We worked like an assembly line with him gently smashing the garlic with the flat edge of a heavy knife while I slipped off the peels and tossed them into the food processor bowl. The garlic was going to get chopped fine anyway, so it didn't matter if the cloves were a bit flat.
I used the grating disc on my food processor for the bread, but I switched to the chopping blade for the rest of the ingredients. I preferred to chop the parsley, onions and garlic all together as it kept the garlic from being over processed and becoming pasty. If this happens, however, the garlic can still be used, although there will be a little more mixing to break up the clumpy garlic and cheese once all the ingredients are together.
The original recipe calls for curly parsley, but I have always preferred Italian flat-leaf parsley for optimal flavor. This parsley is easy to find in the produce section of most grocery stores, and it can easily be grown in your own garden. Parsley is a biennial, growing full and lush the first year and then sending up flower stalks and setting seed the second year. Sowing seeds each year will ensure a constant supply. I use parsley at home in a lot of different ways, including potato dishes, fish and even in salads.
As written, the original recipe says to cut the parsley fine with scissors. I am sure this is the same instruction that was passed down from one generation to another, but I tossed mine into the food processor along with the scallions and garlic and chopped it all together.
After all the ingredients are tossed into the huge bowl, or in my case the canning pot, it was time to roll up my sleeves (hands carefully washed, of course), and dive in, mixing everything well.
This is when the magic happens. Forget simmering potpourri or scented candles. The fragrance that arises from this container of garlic, cheese, onion and parsley is better than any artificial home freshener.
After the breadcrumbs are well mixed, take some out for immediate use because you won't be able to resist using them in something right away. I separated mine into four gallon sized freezer bags and double-bagged each one to help keep out any additional moisture.
The day after I made the breadcrumbs, I made more than 90 meatballs, using four cups of the breadcrumbs with three pounds ground beef, two pounds ground pork and four eggs as a binder. No additional seasonings were needed, although salt and pepper could be added if desired. After forming the walnut-sized meatballs, I froze them first on flat baking sheets and then dropped them into gallon sized freezer bags for easy retrieval when needed.
Two days after making the breadcrumbs, I used them to bread two pork chops for our dinner, which I baked on parchment in a 400 degree oven. The breading was crispy even after baking.

Technical Service Bulletins
|Publication Date: September 8, 2010
|2009-2010 Expedition, F-150, F-250, F-350
|2009-2010 Navigator
This article supersedes TSB 09-23-7 to update the vehicle model lines, Service Procedure and Service Labor Time Standards.
Some 2009-2010 F-150 and F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 4.6L 3V or 5.4L 3V engine, Expedition and Navigator vehicles may exhibit a low frequency knocking noise from the engine at hot idle only. The noise is predominately heard from the right front wheel well area and/or the right hand (RH) engine cam cover. This noise may be generated from the RH variable camshaft timing (VCT) phaser assembly. This procedure was created to diagnose the RH VCT phaser assembly.
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
The Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) tests were developed specifically for the vehicles and Power Control Module (PCM) strategies for these vehicles.
Per Workshop Manual (WSM), Powertrain Controls and Emissions Diagnostics (PC/ED) and Scheduled Maintenance Guide, review customer service history for use of any aftermarket oil filters.
- Check for possible diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
- No DTCs present, proceed to Step 2.
- If DTCs are present, do not continue with this procedure and refer to the PC/ED manual for diagnostics.
- Engine must be at full operating temperature over 190 °F (88 °C) cylinder head temperature (CHT).
- Connect IDS diagnostics tool and verify software version is at the latest level (63 or later required).
- Begin a new vehicle session.
- Open Tool Box selection.
- Open Data Logger.
- Select Powertrain Engine.
- Select PCM Data Logger.
- Clear the preselected items by clicking the eraser icon button.
- Select variable cam timing desired angle number (VCT_DSD).
- Go to live display and press the tick mark.
- Make sure the parameter identification (PID) is highlighted with the dark lines above and below the data being displayed.
- Press number symbol: (output state control mode) of the VCT_DSD number PID.
- Press the Control Item Activate (finger on the button) icon to enable manual control of the PID.
- Use the plus button to command to 4 degrees. (One click is equal to 1 degree) When commanding the advance, both banks will normally adjust.
- Listen carefully to the low frequency knock noise while commanding the VCT_DSD from 0 to 4 degrees. Some higher frequency clatter is normal at or above the 5 degree advance. What is being pursued is for the level of the low frequency knock noise to be noticeably reduced when advanced from 4 to 5 degrees.
- If noise level is noticeably reduced as the VCT desired angle is commanded from 3 to 4 degrees, the noise source is the RH VCT phaser assembly. Proceed to Step 17.
- If the low frequency knock noise is not noticeably reduced at 4 degrees, refer to WSM, Section 303-00 for engine noise diagnostics.
- Due to normal engine dynamics, the VCT phaser knock noise is produced by the RH VCT phaser assembly. Replace only the RH VCT phaser assembly. Refer to WSM, Section 303-01.

Not quite – but Angelina Jolie and fiancé Brad Pitt are set to join forces on the big screen for the first time since they collaborated in that 2005 action film.
The new project will be based on a script penned by Jolie, PEOPLE confirms.
No word on the genre, release date, studio – or if their brood of six will make any cameos. Industry insiders speculate that it could be a relationship drama Jolie, 38, wrote several years ago, says the Hollywood Reporter.
Until then, Jolie is gearing up for the May 30 release of Disney's Maleficent, while her film Unbroken – which she directed – is in post-production.

Editor�s Note: This is an excerpt from the Silverton Standard�s summer travel magazine, Destination: Silverton.
By Mark Esper
Silverton Standard
The town and surrounding mountains were settings for several 20th-century films, bringing in stars such as Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart, James Cagney, Janet Leigh and Barbara Stanwyck.
The arrival of the old Western movies in Silverton meant a fistful of dollars for the local economy and, as locals recalled recently, plenty of fun and excitement along for the ride.
Silverton old-timer Gerald Swanson recalled the hubbub in 1949 when many scenes from the movie �A Ticket to Tomahawk� were filmed here.
The movie featured Dan Dailey, Anne Baxter, Walter Brennan and the then-little-known Marilyn Monroe.
�I was working at the market (Swanson�s Grocery) that summer and got to watch a lot of the action,� Swanson said.
The movie producers preferred Blair Street, which had retained its pristine Old West look.
One of the more spectacular scenes featured a 20-mule team pulling a railroad engine up Blair. (The engine replica, the Emma Sweeney, now sits in a park in Durango.)
The scenes with Monroe playing a dance-hall girl were shot at the old National Hall, now the vacant lot at 12th and Blair.
�In the movie, all the dance-hall girls were standing on top of the balcony waving at the train as it pulled into town,� Swanson said. �But the train was made of wood. The real one never went down Blair Street.�
The plot of �A Ticket To Tomahawk� involved competition between a stagecoach line and a new railroad linking the mythical towns of Epitaph and Tomahawk, Colo.
Silverton served as both towns in the movie.
Making friends with Clark
Zeke Zanoni, another lifelong Silverton resident, remembers running into Clark Gable during the filming of �Across the Wide Missouri� at Molas Lake in 1950.
Zanoni was but 10 or 11 at the time. He said he and some of his Silverton friends decided to watch the action.
�We thought we�d go up to Molas Lake to fish and to watch them film,� Zanoni recalled. So he and his buddies hitchhiked up the pass.
�They had all these tents on the side of the lake. One of them had a big, long line of people going into it.�
The Silverton children soon found out it was the �chow tent.�
�Someone told us that all we had to do is get in line,� Zanoni said. And it worked. �We had no problem at all. This was a fun day for us. They gave us trays, all kinds of food. Everything was great.�
The next day the Silverton kids decided to try it again. But this time when they lined up for lunch, �one guy grabbed a hold of us and yelled, �Get out of here!� Well, we were about ready to start running,� Zanoni recalled.
But at a nearby table they heard a booming voice.
�Hey, Ed. Those boys are with me.�
To their astonishment, it was Clark Gable.
The movie-set caterers suddenly treated the Silverton lads differently.
�You�ve never seen such catering in your life,� Zanoni said. �We filled our plates up. Clark said, �You guys come sit with me.� So we got to have lunch with Clark Gable. We were kind of flabbergasted.�
Zanoni said Gable was a favorite among Silvertonians.
�Everybody in Silverton loved him,� Zanoni said.
In those days, old-timers would gather on the benches in front of the Grand Imperial Hotel to swap stories.
�Clark would show up and talk with them for an hour or two in the evening,� Zanoni said.
An extra
Mike Loftus, who grew up in Silverton but now lives in Louisiana, was an extra in a couple of films � �Run for Cover� (1954) starring James Cagney, and �Great Day in the Morning� (1955) starring Robert Stack.
Loftus recalled a scene from �Great Day in the Morning.�
�I was maybe 10 or 12 years old then,� Loftus said. �We walked down the street singing about Jack Lawford�s body and his son don�t give a hang.�
�A whole lot of Silverton people were in that movie,� Loftus said. �That was with Raymond Burr � he was the bad guy.�
Loftus said the Hollywood stars �for the most part were all pretty good folks.�
But he remembers actress Ruth Roman a bit less fondly.
�She was kind of a pinup girl back in those days,� Loftus said. �I asked her for her autograph and she told me to go blow my nose. She was a rude person.�
Loftus recalled that the wardrobe room for the filming of �Great Day in the Morning� was in the school activity room.
�I don�t remember how much we were paid,� Loftus said. �It wasn�t much, but it was a lot of fun. I know if they told us to �suit up,� we�d get paid for the day. It was maybe 20 bucks.�
When he wasn�t working as an extra, Loftus and his friends used to just watch the movies being made.
�I remember going up the Gladstone canyon,� Loftus said. �We�d go up there and Bob Stack was up there and he was gonna show somebody how good he could shoot.
�Someone would throw a bottle into the air, and there was a guy behind the camera with a .410 shotgun, and he�s the one who broke the bottle,� Loftus recalled. �They had to do that four or five times to get the shot reports to be synchronized.�
In �Run for Cover,� Loftus had a brief but prominent role.
�I was right in front of the camera when the sheriff says �get those baggage men in here,�� while investigating an apparent train robbery.
�The sweetest thing�
Grace Ann Lappin was a schoolgirl in Silverton in the 1950s. She remembers a lot about the various actors who came to Silverton in those days.
�Barbara Stanwyck (�The Maverick Queen� � 1955) was a doll,� Lappin said. �She was the sweetest thing.�
In the movie, Stanwyck played a crooked dealer in rustled cattle, with her headquarters in the Grand Imperial Hotel, which appears in several scenes.
�We used to laugh about how they would paint the utility wires so they wouldn�t show up on the camera,� Lappin said.
She recalled how James Cagney in �Run for Cover� couldn�t quite mount a horse properly, with his short legs.
�They had a little stepladder, and they would film him from the other side and he would get on,� Lappin said. �They didn�t want people to know he couldn�t mount a horse.�
And when actress Virginia Mayo was in Silverton for the filming of �Great Day in the Morning,� she caused quite a stir, Lappin remembers.
�She was staying in one of the front rooms of the Grand Imperial and was changing into her nighty without closing the curtains,� Lappin said. �The guys all got an eyeful. They told all the miners in town. So the next night, practically every guy who could get away from his wife was in front of the Benson (across the street from the Grand Imperial) waiting for her to change. But that night she closed the blinds.�
Audie Murphy starred in the movie �Night Passage� (1956) with Jimmy Stewart. Among the notable local scenes are those shot on the Mayflower Mill tram.
�Audie Murphy was always in a crap game,� Lappin recalled. �These guys were betting $10,000, $20,000. The guys in town thought Hollywood actors were all crazy.�
During the filming of the 1950 film, �Across the Wide Missouri,� actor Ricardo Montalb�n (who later starred in the TV series �Fantasy Island�) suffered serious injuries while playing an Indian chief in a scene shot at Molas Lake.
He was thrown from his horse, knocked unconscious, and trampled by another horse, resulting in a painful back injury that never healed.
�He was sitting on his horse, kind of side saddle,� Lappin recalled. �His horse just suddenly reared up and he landed on a rock.�
The pain increased as he aged, and in 1993, Montalb�n underwent nine hours of spinal surgery, which left him paralyzed below the waist and using a wheelchair. He died in 2009.
The action didn�t stop
Other movies filmed in and around Silverton include �How the West Was Won� (1962), and �Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid� (1968).
Since those glory days, only a handful of movie scenes have been filmed in Silverton itself.
In 1987, a scene from �Over the Top,� starring Sylvester Stallone as a truck driver, was filmed here. It showed Stallone driving his truck into Silverton.
Another film with Stallone, �Cliffhanger,� (1993) featured scenes in the San Juan Mountains surrounding town.
And �City Slickers,� (1990) starring Billy Crystal included many scenes filmed in the Durango area.
This summer, production is under way for �The Lone Ranger,� with Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Armie Hammer.
A casting call for extras in that film was conducted in Durango this spring. But it appears most of the movie will be filmed in the high desert of New Mexico, Arizona and Utah.
Like an aging movie star, Silverton is still waiting to get that call from the movie studio so the town can ride again onto the Big Screen.
