70 Torino, right? Maybe a 69, I'm not as sharp with them as I should be. I think I mentioned down there that I wanted one to put an AMG Benz drivetrain in. Why? I don't even know. But hey, if there's one without a motor somewhere, it could be a cool unique swap, you know?

Ahh, lucky! I like them a lot.
I've always kind of enjoyed oddball swaps like that, the options really are endless, so why do the same thing everybody else does?

Nice. Any tips for a guy restoring an old car? I guess it would probably depend on the car (Triumph Spitfire from '79), but I was just wondering if there aRE ANY GENERAL RESTORATION TIPS YOU HAVE.

Ahh, a little brit roadster, you lucky bastard. First and foremost, the internet will be your best friend. Unless there's that crazy old bastard in town who drives british sports cars every day, because then HE will be your best friend. Get a couple repair manuals (Chiltons and Haines are two very good ones) And find free parts catalogs just so you know what to shop for. Also, don't be afraid to ask for help. My Galaxie has a bit of rust in the frame, but that hardcore level of Welding still intimidates me, so I'm calling in the help of a friend with more skill

Actually, there is a crazy old guy with the EXACT same car. He's been a pretty big help. And thanks, I'll go see if I can find any of those manuals.

Yeah, people with the same car will be a HUGE help, because they've encountered problems you're bound to encounter too. There's probably an online forum for Spitfires as well, and literally EVERYBODY on a car forum will want to help you, haha

I need to find a Ford Galaxie Forum, that would help me out SO much. I have random questions that nobody else could ever answer, you know? That, and you get better at things just by trying. Such as this Galaxie is my first major work resto, body work, welding work, interior work, etc. I've never done any of that before, but I have to jump in and try it, you know?

Same here, man. My dad had his somewhat decent advice to help, but a lot of this is me looking at things and going "Well, this makes sense, so I'll try it." What could go wrong? You mess up a panel or something, you fix it or replace it. These aren't 5 million dollar cars, don't be afraid to try things on them. You can always fix your mistake

UPDATED BEACH WORLD JOURNAL Updates from the Grappling and Beach eventsAll four athletes from the U.S. Beach World Team are providing journal entries for TheMat.com. We will update them as they are received via email.
Carlos Dolmo, Bronx, N.Y. (Blast Double NY), Over 85 kg
Sunday, September 21
This morning I woke up refreshed ready to compete. Give it your all, have fun and leave it on the sand is my attitude and I've found lots of success with it. Jeff Funicello taught me a technique designed to help me get centered and ready to compete. The key was to use the technique before the match and get into the zone. Before my first match I used the technique and I felt ready instantly.
I won my first bout 2-0. My second match was against the 2006 Beach Champion. This match was a rematch of the 2006 Quarterfinal in which Ali Reza Kaya won on a questionable call. We met in the center of the sand and began to battle for position. He found an angle and pushed me for a point. The second point was scored the same way and he won the bout. He went on the win the gold and I had to settle for no medal.
Even though I didn't reach my goal, I was happy with the way I performed. In sports, as in life, its important that we learn from our mistakes. I feel that I will learn from this experience and get better. If anything, I added new friends and had an awesome vacation. I enjoyed spending time with Mike Proulx, Neil Cook, Coach Jason Townsend, Jeff and Jennifer Funicello.
Congrats to all my teammates and a great congrads to Jeff Funicello for winning his second World Medal. At the end of the Championships, Jeff and I made a pact that we won't walk away from Beach wrestling until we win a World Gold medal... I guess I'll be seeing you at the next Beach World Championships.
Satruday, September 20
Not much to report today as I relaxed for the big day tomorrow. Being that the Grappling event was today, I went to lend my support. Unfortunately, US team members Jeff Funicello and Mike Proulx had to compete against each other for the Bronze medal. It was an awesome fight but in the end Jeff won the bout and claimed the medal.
During the vist to the arena, several spectators just stared at me. One of the spectators called me Joe Frazier, go figure. First, I was Mike Tyson and now I'm Joe Frazier. At least I'm still a boxer.
Many other people said hello to me including the 2006 Beach World Champion Ali Reza Kaya of Turkey and 2007 World Champion Fatih Beh of Turkey. These guys are both class acts and despite our language barriers we are able to communicate and have great respect for each other. I look forward to competing with them tomorrow.
After the competition the group enjoyed a light dinner with our new friends from Bulgaria. Well that's all for today. I look forward to a great day tomorrow.
Friday, September 19
Last night I got some quality sleep. I haven't slept like that in such a long time. I slept a solid 9 hours. Upon awakening, the room was quiet. Mike and Neil apparently woke up earlier and had left for breakfast. I met with them in the restaurant and enjoyed some great cooking.
After breakfast we went to the local museum and then to tour the city of Tirana. I learned that Mother Theresa was born in Albania. During our visit to the museum, I met a High School teacher from Belarus. He told me his daughter lives in the Bronx and attends Monroe College also in the Bronx... what a small world.
After sightseeing, I traveled with the Grappling team for weighins to the local arena. While there, many kids called me Mike Tyson and wanted to feel my arms. Of course I played along. The team walked back to the hotel then had dinner. I look forward to tomorrow's competition. Good night.
Thursday, September 18
After getting some much needed sleep, I got up feeling really hungry. Neil Cook, Mike Proulx, and I went for breakfast and met with Jason Townsend. We had an awesome view of city of Tirana. After breakfast, we met up for practice. The Albanian Federation arranged travel for us with a bus. We stood in front of the hotel waiting for out ride when a man approached us and told us he was suppose to pick is up. We hesitated at first because his English wasn't good but eventually took the risk.
We got to the areana and met the Canadian Pankarition team. Their coach is a Grand Master of Pankartion and was on the show "Human Weapon." We practiced for an hour and then we walked back. Being that I am a big black man, people tend to look at me with amazement. I stick out like a sore thumb. Most people call out to me and say I look like Mike Tyson and ask for autographs.
In the evening, we had a team dinner and we finally caught up with Jeff and Jennifer Funicello. They went sight seeing early morning and it was great to hear of the places they visited. Mike, Neil, and I plan to visit the sauna this evening and then crash. OK until tomorrow.
Neil Cook, Rochester, N.Y. (Team Titan), Under 85 kg
Sunday, September 21
Hello from Albania. I ended up losing first round in the Grappling tournament. I was winning but got arm barred in the last 15 seconds! (I screwed up!) It was my second grappling tournament and I think it is lack of experience on the ground. Also, I am not as young as I once was ... Ha Ha
I was excited for Beach tournament. I ended up drawing a guy from Turkey first round. I ended up losing 2 to 1. I feel I gave him a pretty good match. He ended up winning the tournament. Losing in the first round puts you out of the tournament. I felt and still do feel like I let many people down but I also feel I could definitely wrestle with anyone in the tournament (but did not have the chance). But that's the way it goes. My fault for losing!
With out a doubt, Carlos, Mike, Jeff and Jason are some of the best people I have ever met in my entire life. They are total team players and have made this trip worth everything. Congrats to Jeff for winnning the bronze too!
The sportsmanship of the other countries was unreal. I cannot tell you how many pictures I have people from all over the world. It is too bad all problems could not be solved on the beach. Win or lose, shake hands and take some pics and laugh about it later with the guy you just wrestled. I will never forget this experience or the people I have met.
And yes, Carlos does snore, I will probably video it tonight and send it to youtube.
Thanks to everyone.
Friday September 19
We just weighed in for the Grappling tournament. The competition is supposed to start at 9 a.m. I am pretty darn nervous for this! I think there will be about eight people in my weight. I am going 80 kg for the Grappling.
We spent most of the day at a museum, and walking around Tirana. The culture is pretty incredible. About three or four times a day, you can hear the Muslim chants right from our hotel. If you go closer you can see hundreds of people praying. It was quite a sight to see. Thus far, people have been very nice and friendly to us.
Well, of to dinner and to get some rest. Hopefully I will have some good news about Grappling tomorrow! Again, this experience has been outstanding. On Sunday, we compete in the beach wrestling tournament. To everyone in Rochester, Brighton and Webster, N.Y. thanks for your support!!
Thursday, September 18
I arrived at Albania on Wednesday the 17th. I was picked up at the airport by Jason Townsend and a driver from the Albanian wrestling alliance. Let me be the first to tell you there are no stop signs, lights, or any type of lines on the road. There is lots of horn beeping and hand gestures. I would not be able to drive here ( I am a bad driver anyway!)
The hotel we are staying in is very nice. I am sharing a room with Carlos Dolmo, and Mike Proulx, both really good guys. All our meals are inclusive at the hotel and the food has been not only really good but also very healthy too.
We worked out a bit this morning , Jason was giving Mike and I some pointers for the grappling tournament on Saturday. Then we drilled a bit and broke a good sweat. We then walked back from the ygmnasium and got to see a lot of Albania. There are lots of small shops and there were scales on every street corner of every clothing shop. I just found out from Jason that clothing is sold by weight (and I thought I could check my weight on every street corner) We got back to the hotel and took a great sauna.
Tomorrow is weigh-ins for the grappling tournament. I plan on walking around the city, going to the museum, and going to try to get some gifts for people back home. That's all for now. I am beat!
Jeff Funicello, Mesa, Ariz. (American Pankration), Under 85 kg
Friday, September 19
We got up early and ate breakfast with the team on the terrace of the hotel. After breakfast the team went across the street to Albanian National Museum of History and got a chance to see some pretty cool stuff. We then walked around Skanderbeg Square for awhile.
After lunch we had Grappling weigh-ins, Mike, Neil and I made weight with no problems. We came back to the hotel after weigh-ins and ate dinner. Ironically, we sat with two Serbian athletes, as it turns out I have one of the guys in the first round tomorrow. Another tablemate was a Frenchman who is an anthropologist and wrestling historian. After dinner, Jennifer and I went for a walk around the square to work off some of the meal and to feed the stray dogs dinner scraps. Off to bed early.
Wednesday September 17
I arrived late last night and woke up and had a great breakfast with my wife Jennifer and Jason Townsend. We sat on the terrace overlooking Tirana. I went on a half-day tour with my wife to the nearby historic town of Kruja, which was once a stronghold of Albania's national hero, Skanderbeg. The town has an amazing fortress and castle and I was able to buy some very old coins from ancient Greece, Macedonia and Illyria. Our tour guide was a history buff and we learned a lot about Albanian history during our tour. It is a fascinating history. We returned to the hotel in time for dinner and afterward we went to bed, I was still exhausted from all the traveling.
Thursday, September 18
Jennifer and I got up early, had breakfast and headed out for an all-day tour of Durres and Berati with the same guide as the day before. The rest of team arrived on Wednesday and they opted to sleep in and get adjusted to the jet lag. Our guide was a special forces police officer (like a SWAT) and is now the personal bodyguard of the highest ranked police chief in Albania.
Durres is a city on the Adriatic and is where we will compete in Beach Wrestling on Sunday. Underneath Durres are ancient ruins that just now being excavated. We saw them uncovering an amphitheatre from an ancient Illyrian civilization. After the Illyrian society came the Romans and they surrounded the city with a giant wall. Amazingly, this wall is still standing and villagers have built there homes attached to it.
From Durres, we headed to a mountain town named Berati. This was my favorite thus far. There were no cars in Berati and people still lived within the walls of the ancient fortress castle atop the mountain. It was a very surreal experience. The village was from the Middle Ages and the last major renovations took place in the 17th century. The Albania government has named this town a National heritage site and any modernization is forbidden, giving us a chance to get a glimpse of life from 500 years ago. We had a traditional Albanian lunch of lamb, bean soup and fresh veggies and fruit with the castle walls. All the men sit around and play chess and backgammon. All along the countryside sit WWII era pillboxes used for machine guns and artillery during the Communist era of Enver Hoxha. Farmers now use the pillboxes as barns for their livestock.
We arrived back at the hotel in time for dinner and sat down for the first time with the rest of team members. Jennifer and I fed leftover table scraps to stray dogs near the hotel. Unfortunately in Tirana there are many malnourished dogs and cats wandering the streets. Jennifer and I are animal lovers and in Mesa we rescue dogs and cats so we continued our work in Albania. It is time to rest and my bed is calling me.
Mike Proulx, Bath, Maine (unattached), Under 85 kg
Wednesday, September 17
Arriving in Albania was amazing. The topography, the mountains are beautiful. When Carlos and I arrived at the airport, we were greeted by a cute girl about my age who immediately offered to carry my bag. I could use a greeting like that when I get home =)
The food here is really good. All the produce and meat is really good quality, very fresh. The hotel we're staying at, the Tirana International Hotel, is really classy too. I do have to say, the treatment we're getting here is wonderful. I have definitely found the motivation to try and compete like this more and more.
Tuesday, September 16
From JFK we flew to Budapest Hungary and arrived at about 7:30 am. There's a 6 hour time difference, so the flight itself lasted about 8 hours. On the flight over I finished Fight Club, listened to some more music, and slept some more.
They fed us a lot on the flight. It tasted pretty good but it didn't sit well. All that pre-packaged stuff provides calories but isn't ideal. It felt like putting regular gas into a car that uses Plus. I mean, I don't eat rich food, but it's usually wholesome.
I also got to know this guy who sat next to me on the flight, Sam. He is a pre-med student in Romania and is studying to be a dentist. He was staying in the U.S. for 3 months on a workers visa. He told me he worked at a Burger King in Cleveland. "And you know what?" he said to me, "the food there sucks!" haha
He also told me some crazy story about a homeless guy who was brazen enough to come right into his house, shower up, and eat from the fridge one Saturday morning. And the kicker was when he found him on the balcony, he didn't flinch or say anything other than "good morning."
By the way, this took place in Romania, not Cleveland, so if you're reading this from Cleveland, no need to worry. Of course. locking your doors at night is always a good idea.
During the layover in Hungary I also met a local from Albania, Ditmir was his name. He shared some stories with me, some history, and helped me with my pronunciation on basic Albanian phrases.
He told me he plays soccer at some university in Missouri, so he must be pretty good. He looks kind of skinny for a college athlete though. He kind of reminds me of Borat. There's the accent and he like to talk about the ladies.
Monday, September 15
Left home at about 5:30 a.m., left the bus station at 7:30 a.m,, arrived in NYC at 3:10 p.m., arrived at JFK at 4:30 p.m., then boarded and left the USA at 5:30 p.m.
To pass the time on the bus ride I tried reading, and put a pretty good dent in Fight Club. I've seen the movie about a million times but there were some funny things that got left out of the movie. Besides that, I just listened to my iPod and slept a lot.
In the past week I've heard "good luck" and "give 'em hell" more times than ever before in my life. I've also spent a lot of time explaining what Beach wrestling is. A few weeks ago, I just started telling people I'm going on vacation. It's an honor to be on Team USA. In fact, it's the biggest honor I've ever received in my life, but I felt like I was bragging when I told people.
"What are you doing today?"
"I'm going to work to fill out some TPS reports for the hundredth time. You?"
"I'm going to the World Wrestling Games in Albania because I'm on Team USA and I'm awesome." Not my style, but I digress.
I recognized Carlos Dolmo in line for my flight and was relieved that someone else from the team was on the same one. We talked some after checking in. He and my coach, Joe Pistone, actually go way back. Small world.

Well, now I've done it. Feel free any of you "real" contributors to edit it if the language at the end is a problem or if you want to tuck part of it in behind the "Click here to read more" link.
Is this the movie where Mel Gibson gets pulled over for drunk driving and spews antisemetic insults?
Man, this movie was a big deal when it came out.
People who believe the world is bleak today just need to watch this movie and see where people were coming from back then.

Hugo Gernsback (1884-1967) might be described as the embodiment of the American dream: frustrated by the limited opportunities available in his native country of Luxembourg, Gernsback emigrated to America, and by means of his hard work and innovative ideas, he established himself as a wealthy businessman and magazine publisher. Furthermore, because of his key role in naming, describing, and promoting a new form of literature called science fiction, Gernsback became yet another immigrant who has made a significant and lasting contribution to American culture. However, Gernsback can also be said to represent the dark side of the American dream: his obsession with achieving financial success contributed to two failed marriages and drove h…

Naveen Rules Out Role in National Politics
By Express News Service - BERHAMPUR
Published: 21st January 2014 11:56 AM
Last Updated: 21st January 2014 11:56 AM
Amidst talk of his playing an important role in Government formation at the Centre after next elections, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Monday made it clear that he will like to continue to serve the people of Odisha. "I have decided to serve the people of the State till my last," the Chief Minister said at a meeting at Patapur under Sanakhemundi Assembly segment in Ganjam district.
Naveen played the development card to seek votes ahead of general election. Stating that poverty level in the State has come down and size of State's plan has increased during last 14 years, he said economic growth has also been robust.
Describing Congress as a corrupt party and BJP as communal, the Chief Minister requested the people to support the BJD in next election. The Chief Minister also addressed the gatherings at Bhismagiri near
Digapahandi and Khallikote after laying foundation stones for several projects in the area.
Listing out the State-sponsored welfare schemes undertaken by his Government in the last three terms from 2000 to 2014, Naveen said these could be possible only due to the faith of the people of the State in him and his regional party.
In his whirlwind tour to Ganjam, his home district, for the fourth time in last 22 days, Naveen laid foundation stones of nine projects. The projects included 33/11-kv sub-station and additional classrooms for the girls' high school at Bhismagiri, fire station building at Khandadeuli and pipe water supply scheme in Sanakhemundi block.
He also laid foundation stone for a bridge over Sulia nullah near Patapaur and Kharakhari nullah near Khallikote under Biju Setu Yojana and improvement of Hirana-Podamari road and Bramhanipada-Bilaspur SH-17.
He also addressed golden jubilee function of RCM Science College, Khallikote.

New Years Day party at the Plaisteds, fun as usual. Rufus's trademark roast lamb was better than ever, but I was good about avoiding the sweets.
Film: (DVD) Star Trek V1 The Undiscovered CountryNot the best of the series.
Digitized my recording of the 1993 Midsummer Revels. I'll be putting MP3s on the site soon.
Film: (DVD) Cider House RulesA fine film based on a John Irving novel, set in a Maine orphanage during WW2.
Video: (DVD) Once and Again Season OneI dearly loved this show when it was on the tube, and it's a delight to get to see it once again on DVD. It was so sad when they cancelled it...I wish somebody would write a novel following the characters on past the untimeley end of the series! The acting and writing are SO good! The characters are unforgettable.
Today I had to make a new hole in my belt to keep my pants from falling down. That's 4 belt holes gained (lost) since I started the Atkins Diet 2 1/2 months ago! On top of that, I feel terrific!

Film: (DVD) The Lady Eve Preston Sturges, 1941A classic screwball/romantic comedy with Barbara Stanwyck as a crooked gambler who falls for the wealthy son of a beer magnate, played by an impossibly young Henry Fonda. This is a good one!.
Down to 237 pounds!
Spent most of the day digitizing some rare old vinyl LPs. I had picked up a rather nice Fisher computerized turntable at a yard sale for $3. Needed a belt, and I replaced the stylus on general principals. I've got this set up upstairs by the computer so I can easily copy records. The new Powerbook has the memory, speed and storage to let me do this in the background while I work on other stuff.
I'm using a very nice, inexpensive software package called Felt Tip Sound Studio, makes it very easy to create excellent digital files.
Concert: Boston Symphony Orchestra Bach and HaydnTon Koopman guested for the first time, starting with a sparkling performance of Bach's Orcestral Suite #3. Then came the Cantata #170, with countertenor Andreas Scholl. This was not my cup of tea; for one thing, I'm not a fan of countertenor voices, and Scholl was mostly drowned out by the 16 piece orchestra and portative organ except in his highest register. This piece also has a nasty religious text about how the author wishes to die so he could get away from the evil, sinful world.
After the intermission, they did Haydn's 99th symphony (the first to use clarinets!) This was quite satisfying, though the concert was a bit skimpy, ending about 9:36.
Film: (DVD) 10 Things I Hate About YouA superficial take on The Taming of the Shrew, set in a Seattle High school. An entertaining comedy, not great.
An evening with the versatile Will Smith.
Film: (DVD) Enemy of The StateThis is a paranoid's delight, with our Hero caught between evil rogue N.S.A. operatives and The Mob. Lots of action, lots of older motor vehicles get wrecked.
Film: (DVD) Men in Black IILacks the surprise element of the original, which seemed to come out of nowhere, but fun nevertheless. Lara Flynn Boyle makes a fine villainess.
Harriet's off to visit her mother in Florida. I drove her to Logan Airport through the new I90 connector tunnel that just opened last weekend. This is a huge improvement! 35 minutes round trip from my driveway, including a hug and kisses at the terminal! Thanks Tip!
Film: (DVD) 84 Charing Cross Road David Hugh Jones 1987I really loved this film. Anne Bancroft plays an American writer and fan of English literature. Anthony Hopkins works in an antiquarian bookshop in London (the title is the address.) The film is mostly in the form of letters between them over the period from 1949 to the mid 1960s. Very highly recommended!
Film: (DVD) What Planet Are You FromLow comedy, not particularly good.
Film: (DVD) Another Man's Poison Irving Rapper 1952A British murder tale set on the Yorkshire Moors. Bette Davis is very evil. This one wasn't much good either.
Spent most of the day glued to the TV, hungry for news of the spaceship Columbia. What a disaster!
I continue to believe that in the Big Picture, the development of space flight is the most important historical development of the millenium. I certainly hope this setback doesn't knock us too far back.
I'm comforted to know that the Chinese and Japanese are also both working on space travel, so even if the U.S. loses its nerve for a while, the race should continue the progress essential for the long-term survival of humanity.
Film: (DVD) The Two Jakes Jack Nicholson 1990How did I miss ever seeing this before? Chinatown is one of my all-time faves, and this is the sequel, set 10 years later (1948). This time it's oil, not water. Not as good as Chinatown...but how many films are? Recommended, but only if you've already seen Chinatown.
Film: (DVD) Death Becomes Her Robert Zemeckis 1992Bruce Wills as a nebbish, Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn as zombies, talk about casting against type! This was pretty entertaining, though not a masterpiece.
Film: (DVD) Bandits Barry Levinson 2001This is a delightful road comedy, with Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton as a couple of bank robbers working their trade at various scenic locations on the Oregon and northern California coast. Kate Blanchet is their hostage/accomplice. Thornton's hypochondria is particularly hilarious, but it's generally an excellent ensemble piece. Highly recommended.
Today was the first Patience rehearsal with full cast and orchestra together. Sounding very good!
Film: (DVD) Shot to PiecesThis was very disappointing. The hype from Netflix made it sound half decent, but it turned out to be aa startlingly amateurish documentary about a many-times-wounde Massachusetts officer in the Slavery War. This was a real clinker. The heroe's wife was depicted with very short hair, such as no 19th century woman would dream of wearing. There was hardly any dialogue, it was mostly silent film with boring narration and portentious background music. The writing was really, really bad. One of the cheesiest films I've seen in a long time. It stank.
Bikers' BanquetWent to the Bikers' Banquet in Waltham, an annual gathering of bike shop folks and reps. A jolly old time was had by all. I won a GT baseball cap, a nice Kryptonite jersey that even fits, and a couple of fancy latex mtb inner tubes in the raffle. Also raffled of my Powerwheel, one less piece of clutter for my house!
Film: (DVD) Sharpe's Rifles Tom Clegg 1993This is the first of a 14 DVD series set in the Napoleonic wars (mainly the Peninsular Campaign.) Our hero, Richard Sharpe is a tough and gritty enlisted man who single-handedly saves Wellington's life when the latter is attacked by 3 French cavalrymen. Wellington promotes him to Lieutenant, and he gradually rises in rank through the series. A major theme of this series is the conflict that Sharpe faces as a lower-class man placed among "officers and gentlemen" most of whom are too snobbish to accept him.
I've actually seen all 14 of these, enjoyed them thoroughly.
Film: (DVD) For Love of the Game Sam Raimi 1999This was a fine example of the classic baseball film genre, quite satisfying.
Today was put-in of the set for Patience, opening night is next Friday!
Down to 233 pounds. Had to punch another hole in my belt today, total of 5 belt holes since I started the Atkins diet 3 1/2 months ago!
Video: (DVD) Six Feet Under 2002This is an excellent HBO series, following the travails of a family-owned funeral home in Los Angeles. A very fine piece of work, highly recommended if black humor appeals to your.
"Monster Sunday" Patience rehearsal, two complete shows, first time on the actual set.
Big snow! Never made it in to the shop, partly because the AirPort has broken down, so the network (and DSL connection) is down.
This was the night of the local Shimano XTR seminar, out in Burlington. Although most people were too scared to brave the roads, the show did go on, and I drove to it. I picked a slightly longer route to avoid hills, made it OK. Although the roads were all covered with packed snow, it was perfectly manageable at 35-40 mph. I'm pretty good at getting around in snow, as long as I don't get caught in a traffic jam. Fortunately, the roads were nearly deserted, so I had no problem.
The new XTR stuff is very impressive, the group should be very well received. The new crank set is a really slick design. One thing about it, though--it uses separate bearings for each side, so it will once again be important to pay attention to facing the bottom bracket shell, since this will affect the alignment of each bearing unit. The bearings are actually located out past the ends of the shell. This wider stance, and also the larger inside diameter of these bearings permits a lighter, stiffer axle, and should be quite long-lived.
The new XTR brifters are very nice ergonomically, and I think this is finally going to bring acceptance to the low-normal ("Rapid Rise" rear derailer setup.)
The XTR disc brake is also really slick.
Video: (DVD) Six Feet UnderWe've been watching the first season of this HBO production on DVD, and Harriet and I are both very impressed with it. The stories are off-beat and fascinating, as are the characters, mainly a family who own a Los Angeles funeral home. Acting and direction are first rate. Very highly recommended.
Film: (DVD) 8 Femmes (8 Women) François Ozon 2002This was highly recommended by critics, among them my nephew, but I was rather disappointed in it. Like some other French musicals I've seen the acting was rather over-stylized and generally over the top.
Patience opening night"Another op'ning, another show..." All is going well, the audience was receptive
Film: (DVD) Paint Your Wagon Joshua Logan 1969Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood and Jean Seburg head the all-star cast of this big-budget western musical. The plot is very different from the original Broadway version, but most of the great songs are there, and it was a lot of fun. Marvin gets to pull out his Drunk Cowboy act that he used so effectively in Cat Ballou 4 years earlier, even if he can't sing a lick.
Film: (DVD) Six Feet Under Season 1, Disc 3Really enjoying this series!

Sass & the City: Devoted readers are the best
Today is National Humor Column Reader Appreciation Day.
OK, it technically isn't, but I would like to declare it so.
Because I adore my readers.
I do. Some of them are lifelong pals. Some are beloved family. But most are people I haven't met -- yet. They come up to me at the mall, in the grocery store, or at a nightclub and introduce themselves. And it's like we already know one another. Within seconds, we are yukking it up about our irrational fear of clowns, back fat and making fun of Justin Bieber and Lindsay Lohan.
And bam! I've made a new friend.
I got a high five from a 91-year-old lady in a wheelchair at Kmart, and when I asked why, she said, "Italian St. Patrick's Day."
One of the coolest things about my readers is when they send me things. Letters. E-mails. Tweets. And sometimes, I actually get "stuff."
I wrote a column mocking the stupid, random mystery fees we're billed on our cell and cable bills, joking that readers should mail their "humor column access fee" of $1.19 to me at the Erie Times-News. It was a last-line-of-the-column wisecrack, but seven readers decided the joke was going to be on me. I got $8.33 in the mail. It was like Christmas, not because they had sent money, but because I knew they had gone to the trouble of making a connection. Out of courtesy, I did tear up the checks, but the cash covered the cost of a McDonald's Shamrock Shake that totally rocked my world.
After writing about the frustration of losing small items in the space between the driver's seat of my car and the console, someone asked for my address and mailed me a Drop Stop, a foam device that fits in the car seat gap so things won't get lost anymore. It works!
In response to my column about hard-to-open clamshell plastic packaging, a reader sent me a Zip It Opener, a monumentally effective battery-operated device that looks like a can opener and opens those packages in seconds.
So you can bet I'm going to be writing about Harry Connick Jr. a lot in the coming weeks and keeping my fingers crossed.
Meanwhile, please know I just love you.

Ramon Charves is passionate about cheese.
So much so that he took a detour from his theater major, singing and songwriting to shape a food career.
"My first time in Europe did it for me," said Charves, 32. "That's when I found my niche. And since I couldn't stay and live in Europe then, I decided to surround myself with as much of the flavor of Europe as possible.
"Still, I have been known to break into song while behind the cheese counter," the head cheese honcho at Fresh Fields' 20th Street store quipped with a twinkle and boyish grin seemingly cloned from look-alike actor George Clooney.

Whitman Theatre
160 Walt Whitman Road,
Huntington Station,
3 people favorited this theater
Showing 1 - 25 of 122 comments
It wasn't narrow but it was quite long. I remember standing in the back talking to the manager.
It did seem wide…
Mike, in my opinion the theater was long, not square.
Saw my first James Bond movie here — Live and Let Die — and have been a lifelong fan ever since. My sweetheart and I (ah, young love) took the HART bus from Northport, and I had no idea what to expect. In a word, wow! I remember the theater was big and square, with no balcony, but I did return here many times in the ensuing years.
I never actually attended a performance there but, just by chance happened to see the interior. I was eating dinner at a restaurant across from the mall and noted that a movie I wished to see was on the big sign board. When I went over I found out that the movie playing was not the one on the sign. The manager explained to me that this was the last day of operation. They hadn't even bothered to change the signage. By that time the concession stand had also been disassembled. Talk about running a place into the ground.
Amazing. Theater closed in 2002. And the sign was never vandalized.
I passed here yesterday and was sad to see the sign was finally gone
I'll have to check that out when I'm in the area tonight. It was still around at Christmastime.
I think the pylon is now gone! (Feb. 20015)
Of the former Century circuit few of the original buildings remain as theaters, if, at all. As larry indicated, the Franklin. Also the Fantasy and Lynbrook (which was a leased property and due to be demolished for a newer theater) and the Meadows. The Shore location now houses the new Shore.
I was a Manager for Century Theatres in the late 70's and 80's.Even back then the big money making houses were their pride.This continued when They became part of Cineplex Odeon.Now that AMC took this over all the smaller grossing houses have closed or been remodeled.Some like The Franklin cinema in Franklin Square are still there but with different owners.
Are you sure about that Orlando? I thought some of the original structure was retained.
The Whitman Theatre was completely demolished for whatever restaurants that are on the site now. The listing should have been changed (about 9 years ago) from "Closed" to "Demolished". The pylon remains and is about 51 years old. Keep it quiet or else mall property owners might take it down. It's a rare marker that should remain in it's out of the way location. The pylon is famous for its "BOMB IRAN" message on Route 110 when someone re-arranged the pylon letters one night. Newsday carried the photo to the chagrin of Century Circuit executives.
I thought legal Seafood was in the d Beafstake Charlie's. ?
Isn't this site now partly occupied by Legal Seafood restaurant? One dead, several injured after a carbon monoxide leak in the basement.
Nice 2013 the Pylon lives on. !
Pylon stills survives untouched.
August 25 1966 Adam West & Burt Ward star in the feature version of "Batman" with special live appearance of Batman & Robin!
SUFFOLK HISTORIC NEWSPAPERS has years of digital back issues of The Long Islander, a local newspaper with weekly movie ads included.
Century had obviously unloaded a number of theatres because when it reopened the Bellerose sometime in the late 30s or early 40s that was the 37th. Go to the Bellerose site for particulars.
They more I think about it this was one of my least favorite Century theatres as it lack soul ..
And what happened to those masks? A number of the later, smaller shopping center theatres had them. If I remember correctly, the Glen Oaks, York and Whitman for sure. Don't remember the Morton Village and was never in the Park East or Five Towns.
The York had the masks also and they had sensurround.
Hey Bloop! Good to see you still posting here. How's your newletter?
Not the only Century to have them. Wonder what became of them.
I so remember the big iron comedy / tragedy wall sculptures on the inside of the theater. As kids, while waiting for the movie to start, we would ponder "Geez, imagine if they fell off the wall onto the packed house?" Thankfully , no Sensurround movies ever played there.

Single-parent families and teenage mothers are holding back social mobility, academics claim.
They compared the life chances of children in Britain, Australia, Canada and the US and found that social mobility is far less common in Britain and the US, meaning that children born in poor families struggle to shake off their disadvantaged start.
Children are much more likely to be living in single-parent households in these two countries than in Canada and Australia.
Families in Britain also showed a much closer link between the educational achievement of parents and their children.

>> "Although in Mongolia the diet has traditionally been extremely fatty, the extreme cold climates and the hard physical activity of the Mongolian people has meant that obesity has not been a major problem in the country, although it has had a high rate of prevalence among foreign workers in the country, such as European Russians, many of whome were involved in a more sedentary lifestyle."
I think they're probably referring to the fact there is some evidence that exposure to cold promotes "brown adipose tissue", a metabolically-active type of fat. Mark actually has a blog post on this: Is Brown Fat Good For You? | Mark's Daily Apple
But of course, as you point out the problem is probably not their traditional fatty diet but rather the large amount of processed junk that's coming from abroad.

"A friend of mine needed $38,000 urgently," Ferguson said Tuesday on The Oprah Winfrey Show, though she didn't identify the pal in need. Ferguson then decided at the last minute to ask for even more money for herself – about $725,000 – and though she didn't have specific plans for the money, she said of her debt, "I was so out of control with desperation where I'd reached a point of no return."
Ferguson, 50, was caught on video accepting money in exchange for promising access to her ex-husband, Prince Andrew. The man posing as a businessman willing to pay for the privilege was an undercover reporter for the News of the World.
The Duchess of York said she suspected the man was a journalist when they first met, but ignored her instincts. He told her he was interested in investing in her business dealings, and that he was having personal problems and needed her advice.
The reporter gave her $40,000 as a down payment, which she says has now been returned to the newspaper. Winfrey played the tape of the encounter, which Ferguson said she'd never seen in its entirety before. "I feel sorry for her. She looks exhausted," Ferguson said after watching herself on tape.
Living Beyond Her MeansFerguson, who denied having been engaged in similar requests for money in the past, said she had been living beyond her means, "trying to keep Sarah going," and running up such huge debts that she couldn't even afford rent and was forced to move back into a home with her ex-husband.
She would not confirm how much she received from Prince Andrew in their divorce settlement – rumored to be $20,000 a year – but said she opted for congeniality over cash. "I chose friendship with the family," she said. "I wanted friendship with the boss," referring to the Queen of England.
Ferguson said she is now figuring out how to get back on her feet, including filing for bankruptcy. "I've got a huge uphill battle," she said of her financial situation.
Andrew 'Understanding'She refused to go into detail about Prince Andrew's response to the scandal, only saying, "He reached out with understanding." She added that she hopes to be able to live on her own at some point. "I don't want to keep being a burden on him," she said.
The couple's children, princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, have been supportive as well. "They said it's a really good fresh clean start for you," she said. "We're 100 percent here for you and we love you."
Ferguson admitted that she damaged not only her own reputation but, "I have, through my actions, hurt millions of people, my friends and family foremost." Now, she said, "I will beg for forgiveness," but "I have got to go forward. "

Joe's Small-in-one Diabetes Case
Diabetes supply cases can really make a difference to your quality of living. Carrying around diabetic supplies is a chore. While each part can be quite small, together all the necessary stuff is bulky and chaotic to take around.
Joe's Small-in-one is our answer to this problem. It takes all an insulin-dependent diabetic needs for 24 hours of treatment: from injections and glucose testing to treating a hypo, this carry-case takes everything. So you can be sure you have all your supplies in one place. Crucially though, it is also one of the smallest cases around.
Now also available in blue, green, red and pink. Check them out below!
Here is an unprompted review of Joe's Small-in-one that's on YouTube:
There is nothing else available on the market that will carry as much equipment, of such variety, in such a small size, at this low price. It features:
Small Size
It is one of the smallest available on the market at only 6.25" x 4.25" x 1.5" (165 x 105 x 35mm), and can fit into a suit pocket.
Large Capacity
It will carry all the diabetic supplies and equipment necessary for 24 hours' worth of treatment. All the following:
2 insulin pens (including Timesulin caps)
4 needles
4 lancets
1 finger-pricker
1 glucose meter
1 pot of test-strips
Glucose tablets/ glucose gel
Diabetic ID
A range of colours
Joe's Small-in-one is made from durable nylon, has a belt loop, and an ID holder. In addition, it is washable at 40 degrees.
Joe's Small-in-one will carry the vast majority of glucose meters available. Testing has so far shown that the following meters will fit:
Great value
Joe's Small-in-one, available in black, blue, green, red, or pink only costs £21.00 including P&P.
Shipping: Joe's Diabetes' P&P costs are based on weight, and can be FREE for UK and International Delivery (inc. USA and Europe).

City Cyclingby John Pucher Ralph Buehler
Bicycling in cities is booming, for many reasons: health and environmental benefits, time and cost savings, more and better bike lanes and paths, innovative bike sharing programs, and the sheer fun of riding. City Cycling offers a guide to this urban cycling renaissance, with the goal of promoting cycling as sustainable urban transportation available to everyone. It reports on cycling trends and policies in cities in North America, Europe, and Australia, and offers information on such topics as cycling safety, cycling infrastructure provisions including bikeways and bike parking, the wide range of bike designs and bike equipment, integration of cycling with public transportation, and promoting cycling for women and children. City Cycling emphasizes that bicycling should not be limited to those who are highly trained, extremely fit, and daring enough to battle traffic on busy roads. The chapters describe ways to make city cycling feasible, convenient, and safe for commutes to work and school, shopping trips, visits, and other daily transportation needs. The book also offers detailed examinations and illustrations of cycling conditions in different urban environments: small cities (including Davis, California, and Delft, the Netherlands), large cities (including Sydney, Chicago, Toronto and Berlin), and "megacities" (London, New York, Paris, and Tokyo). These chapters offer a closer look at how cities both with and without historical cycling cultures have developed cycling programs over time. The book makes clear that successful promotion of city cycling depends on coordinating infrastructure, programs, and government policies.

For me, the "do something" was to fire doctor after doctor until one listened and was willing to increase my thyroid medications. After getting optimal levels of medication (took almost 10 years) it took over six month for my body to heal from the lack of hormones before the weight started coming off slowly.
With optimal hormones I lost 50+ lbs. I kept the weight off for 3+years. Then, in mid 2012, the pounds started coming back. Blood tests showed low hormone levels. An increase in meds has those gained lbs slowly departing.
So, in my world CICO, when thought of as eat less, move more without looking at hormones is utter BS.
CICO doesn't work because the calories we put into our mouth from the external environment does not translate as the same energy that goes into each of our individual cells.
Each and every individual are different and each of their respect cells require multi-cofactors for caloric break down, metabolism, absorption etc.
In physics....in a controlled, closed scientific system where the equation is balanced and equilibrium is achieved then the 1st law of thermodynamics is observed.
Unfortunately, human physiology, human biology, human metabolism, is not perfectly controlled, is not perfectly balanced, is not perfectly efficient....etc.
Until somebody can derive the formula for the "calories OUT" half of the CICO equation and prove that it is correct, this argument is moot.
5'0" female, 45 years old. Started Primal October 31, 2011, at a skinny fat 111.5 lbs. Low weight: 99.5 lb on a fast. Gained back to 115(!) on SAD chocolate, potato chips, and stress. Currently 111.
"The problem with quoting someone on the Internet is, you never know if it's legit" - Abraham Lincoln
Ok the reason we all frequent this site is so we can throw high fives about when we do it as grok would've done it, right?
Maybe not everybody, but what I'm saying is a great many insights can be gained from discovering how our bodies over came the environmental influences it faced on a daily basis over the period of a few million years. The reason this is so pertinent is that although we believe we are far removed from those millions of years we are in fact a direct copy of it.
With that sitting in our minds. lets look at CICO. The CICO theory of body composition and any other alternative theories have only existed for a somewhere within 100 years, an extremely small amount of time considering how long this body of ours has been doing its own "body composition" for.
For 1,999,900 years, our bodies didn't have books or the internet or even scientists to help us decipher the best way of eating. In fact it has nothing to do with the best way of eating, there was no choice, no deciding on low carbs or CICO or alternative theory or anything. For that length of time our bodies have adjusted themselves (evolved) to the food that was available and when it was available, our bodies had to deal with extreme calorie deficiencies and surpluses, deal with extremely variable amounts of macro's, deal with variable times and meal sizes, all on a daily basis.
After I reread the above paragraph I came across a thought, maybe our bodies are just doing today what they've been doing for millions of years; adjusting themselves (getting fat) to the food that is available (all kinds) and when it is available (all the time).
A good analogy for this thread is:
On one side we have bunch of physicists (CICO theory), on the other we have a bunch of endocrinologists (Hormone/insulin theory). Both telling each other and us (with valid points) for what the body needs. My question is: Why don't we ask the body what it needs? why don't we look at how our own bodies have been doing it for millions of years? Maybe our bodies are experts in their own composition, after all our bodies have been studying our diet for millions of years.
So the next question is, what does the experts (our bodies) want? this is what I came up with quickly:
What do the experts (our own bodies) want us to eat? whole foods very much like that was available for millions of years, I think Mark Sisson has a good list that is a fair representation of these foods. How do the experts (our bodies) want us to eat? with great variance and inconsistency like they have been dealing with for millions of years, im not sure how we all can apply that to modern day life, so I've started a thread that tries to further the discussion, have a look.
Applying fitness principles to your diet.
In summary maybe ALL the scientists are wrong, yes thats the endocrinologists and the physicists (probably the reason why non scientists like Mark Sisson are making the most ground in overcoming obesity) as their view is too narrow to cover the subject at hand. Maybe looking at where we have come from will provide great inspiration for where we should go.

Repost below for relevance.
Oh dear, well I made it thru pg15 of this "discussion forum" thread and had to stop, because after 15pgs of "discussion", there were only three intelligent posts discussing the topic...and one of them was mine.
The problem with the "eat less, exercise more" folk wisdom, aside from the fact that it doesn't work and doesn't explain many observations, is that it a lazy way to dismiss all other possibilities. Well the ocean exists cause a lot of water is in it. Okay how did the water get there? Oh shut up KimchiNinja, we don't like to think about that.
Below I disaggregated the calories in / calories out formula. If the original formula holds, then the disaggregation also necessarily holds. The disaggregation makes it much more complex, you change one variable and one or more other variables must change. But it's not obvious which are changing, and probably not the ones people would think (if you believe people think)...

Just as the party seems to have united its head and its heart, a dangerous split is emerging between the two Eds
And so the wheel of political fortune turns. Ed Miliband, once dismissed as a geeky loser, is now more popular than David Cameron, the man who seemed born to rule. For the first time, the Opposition leader's personal ratings have trumped the Prime Minister's in a survey at the weekend. Having triumphed at the local elections, Labour is consistently ahead of the Conservatives in opinion polls.

BERKELEY SPRINGS - In an elimination game of the Class AA, Region II, Section 2 tournament between 20-win Berkeley Springs and Petersburg, it all came down to who was able to seize the momentum.
Persistence paid off for the Vikings in the end.
They scored three runs in the fifth inning to take the lead and two in the seventh inning to keep the Indians at a safe distance in a 5-3 victory.
Article Photos

The loss eliminated the Indians from competition.
"We had nothing to lose, and Petersburg is a great team that is ranked third in AA," Brown said. "They're a good hitting team, and they hit the ball when they have to. When it comes down to crunch time, they come through with the big hits.
"They got the key hits, and we didn't."
Following a pitcher's duel through the first two innings, the Indians broke the scoring dry spell with a run in the third inning.
Kristen Griffith was hit by a pitch before Shyann Farris hit into a fielder's choice. An error in the double play attempt moved Farris up to second base. Sierra Farris, her sister, brought her in for the first run of the game.
Makenah Harrington retired the first 10 batters she faced but ran into some early trouble in the fourth inning. Despite the Berkeley Springs defense not committing an error and outhitting the Vikings 9-8, Petersburg found value in every one of its hits.
"We didn't kick the ball around, but there's nothing that we can do about hits," Brown said. "I was telling the girls there's a difference between getting beat and losing a game, and in this game, we got beat."
Marley Thompson broke the no-hit bid with a single before she was caught stealing for the second out of the inning. Two more singles by Cheyenne Earle and Brittani Bible, respectively, put two runners aboard and brought in Lexie Earle as a courtesy runner.
The top of the fourth inning ended with a fielder's choice by Leah Hahn, but the threat of scoring set the table for the Vikings to take the lead an inning later.
Brooke Hott walked and was moved around on a pair of singles by Cassidy Hedrick and Thompson, respectively, reaching the plate on Thompson's single. Cheyenne Earle gave the Vikings the lead on a double to left field that brought in Hedrick and Thompson to make the score 3-1.
Berkeley Springs scored in the fifth inning to cut the Viking lead in half.
Shyann Farris was initially denied a hit due to a pitch being thrown too early but eventually reached base on an error by Petersburg. Sierra Farris then drove in her sister a the second time on a single to make the score 3-2 in favor of the Vikings.
Petersburg stretched the lead to three in the top of the seventh.
Cheyenne Earle singled, Lexie Earle enter as a courtesy runner. Bible walked, and Callie Wisnewski singled to clear the bases and make the score 5-2.
Berkeley Springs had a chance to come back in the bottom half of the inning.
The Farris sisters both singled before Abby Gillingham brought in Shyann to make the score 5-3. The Indians were unable to get another timely hit as an infield fly and a strikeout swinging ended the game with the tying run on first base.

Recently, however, Governor Bob Riley has been able to gain some leverage on the teacher lobby boss. Guided by the efficient Bradley Byrne, the reform of the dysfunctional two-year college system is essentially carving into Hubbert's power structure.
Most recently, observant voters handed Hubbert two losses in the state school board election.
Hubbert's influence isn't going Twiggy just yet, but the times are a-changin'...slowly....and the sumo wrestler is losing some girth.
