Hawks and pigeons..
Hello all,
I have a question about a hawk, hopefully someone more familiar with them can answer my question..
Since last year I've been seeing hawks in my area, once I saw a young hawk stuck in a tree with no leaves on it (that was in the winter so I could clearly see him) another time I saw one sitting on the highway sign as we live right by the highway and I even saw 2 large ones flying very high when I was in the car with my mom coming home from shopping.
About 3 weeks ago my sisters and I were sitting in the living room when my youngest sister saw pigeon tail feathers fall from a balcony above us.. They were just slowly falling down and that caught her attention, then all of a sudden all the pigeons (about 15-20) pigeons on my balcony flew away very quickly, 2 seconds later this HUGE brown hawk flew down onto our balcony from the balcony above, my sister screamed and then my other sister screamed as well and so I quickly looked over and I saw this BIG bird!!
It was very frightening ... I've never seen a hawk this close up and I was sitting at the table near the window, the hawk looked around and then stretched his big wings and flew away..
Just yesterday I was sitting at the window in my sisters' room and I had Dotty on my lap giving him a head massage..
Dotty gave out this grunt and I know he does that when the cat comes into my room so he warns Pearl and she puffs up.
Anyway I then saw from the corner of my eye this large brown bird flying over by the large pine trees and 3 pigeons quickly flying around the trees and back up onto the building, then the hawk
[ OMG!! Just this minute as I was tying this my sisters were screaming like crazy from the room, It was HIM AGAIN, Same place but under the tree picking at the breastbone of the pigeon that he ate yesterday on the tree.. Now my sisters say he just flew away and they see him up on the tip of tree watching all the pigeons ]
Anyway what happened yesterday was that the hawk sat on the tree and after 15 minutes we finally figured out that he had a pigeon under his foot, Thank God the pigeon was dead so he didn't have to suffer so much
We watched him groom himself for another half hour then he started plucking the bird all the feathers went everywhere, then he ..... you know
It was just horrible to watch but that is nature..
Can someone tell me what kind of hawk this is.. I will describe him:
He is kind of medium size (He is not the one who was on our balcony as that one was all brown and very very large) this one has a brown head, white triangle on his chest, the rest of his tummy is cream with brown dots and he has brown on his wings with some darker brown markings and a squarish long tail.
I live in Southern Ontario but I don't know what kinds of hawks we have here..
My flock is so very scared now, I have pigeons without tails and one baby who even got injured (I believe by the hawk) under one wing was a big hole with blood and she sadly died while under surgery at the wildlife centre
From what it looks like we must have quite afew hawks here, are they migrating or something or will they be around for good?

Hi Mary, Can you describe this hawk in a little more detail? How big compared to say a crow or a pigeon? Is it a heavy looking hawk or more slender? Short wings or longer ones? From what you've said so far, it sounds like a coopers hawk, which would also explain why it's been able to capture pigeons in your neighbourhood. We have a lot of red tailed hawks around here which sound like the "bigger" bird you described. Fortunately, they are not really bird eaters and are usually too slow to capture a pigeon. They only way they generally capture other birds is strictly by surprise attack. Coopers on the other hand are FAST. They use the element of surpise as well like most preditors but this hawk also has speed to back it up if it finds itself pursuing a pigeon over distance.
It's actually really amazing that pigeons so instinctively recognize hawks as preditors. As you know, I have runt pigeons who have NEVER been outside of a coop, born and raised in the security of a coop and never have been chased by one. However, my birds as well instantly recognize "danger" when they see a hawk. I've had a few hang around the yard on occasion. No doubt, with their keen eyes see my birds through the glass doors in my basement and hang around waiting to see if they can score a quick meal. When my birds see a hawk in the backyard, I can ALWAYS tell what is up. They freeze and grunt like you described Dotty doing. Pretty amazing actually that without any prior knowledge or experience or being taught by parents, they KNOW that they are to be feared.
I personally think hawks are amazing birds. I hate to see the killing they do but we all know it is nature. Last summer in my backyard I witnessed a coopers hawk attempt a surprise attack on a mourning dove feeding in the bird feeder. It was truly amazing to see and even more astonishing was the fact that I was just there are the right time. I was peering down into my back yard from a 2nd story window and watching the doves feed when all of a sudden a blur literally came straight down out of the sky in a stoop. It was really to quick to see but the mourning dove saw the coopers and in an instant, was airborn and flew wide open into the field behind my house. The coopers hawk pursued tenaciously but not for long because but he knew he was beat. Mourning doves are one of the fastest flying members of the pigeon family. The coopers chased him for about 300 metres but then cried uncle. Mourning doves have been known to fly as fast and even faster than the best racing pigeons, upwards of 65mph. I've witnessed regular street pigeons maintaining just over 60mph flying along side my car on the highway... fast birds and only the weak or the unwary generally fall prey to attacks from the sky.
Hi Mary and Brad,
I live in Miami,Fl, and the same hawk you described I saw last year on the tree in front of my building and I lost 3 pigeons to him. My husband calls them turkey vultures. I am not sure though if that's what they are called. I looked it up in a book I have nad it describes them as young hawks with that type of coloring (cream colored bellies with brown dots. As they mature they turn all brown and their size is impressive. This year we have tons of them down here.
They will hang around as long as they have food. This year I replace my pigeon's eggs with dummy eggs, I just can't stand losing another baby.
As Brad said, my hand raised indoors pigeons just recognize the hawks and grunt whenever they see them through the window. I guess they are born with that instinct.
Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll land among the stars
Hi Reti, I'm doubtful that the birds that your husband calls "turkey vultures" are culprits of anything short of scavenging. Turkey vultures are just that...vultures. They are members of the raptor family but do not attack or kill living prey. Rather they feast on dead or dying animals, hence their name. Turkey vultures are in your area and I've seen them here up in Canada in the summer as well. They are large birds, just over 2 feet long and with a wing span of almost 6 feet. Young hawks and turkey vultures are not the same thing. You have no need to worry about your pidgies if you see a "turkey Vulture" around
Hello Brad and Reti!
Thanks for replying and sorry I didn't anwer earlier..
Yes Brad, I checked out some pics of red tailed hawks and I think that is the big one that I saw.. as for the small one it's probably a young cooper or something else..
It's very scary to see, Earlier this afternoon I saw him twice up on the tip of a pine tree and on one building then on another, all the pigeons were flying around in the sky for a long time and he just stood at the tip of the building watching them (I could see his head moving around)
This hawk I saw is kind of small, I don't know if he is a juvi or an adult but as I said he is medium, bigger than a crow (much bigger) his wings don't fold onto his body well, yesterday he looked very nice but today he looked kind of scruffy, maybe becuase of the rain? The feathers around his thighs are just cream, I noticed that today. He has long legs and a long tail as well, when he flies his wings are very rounded unlike a sea gull or pigeon, the wings are brown on the top with darker brown stripes... He has a very beautiful white triange on his neck, his head is brown with some darker feathers like the tops of his wings.. I have some pics but I don't think they are very clean, I couldn't take any today because the battery ran out and my sister was recharging it, I can try to send them to you if they turn out good..
I just can't believe it, I told my aunt the story when she came over on monday and just yesterday she called and said she saw a hawk on her balcony as well (she lives on the really high floors in a condo building)
She never seen a hawk in her area although she does have some pigeons who visit and a baby grew up there 2 years ago.
Vultures in Ontario, I can't believe it.. I love vultures, They look like mean birds to some people but I don't know I just like them.. Crows as well are beautiful and so smart
So if this big large hawk won't eat pigeons all the time what does he eat? Squirrels.. Little birds?
I just remembered seeing a hawk attack a starling last year, a whole flock of starlings were eating on the grass in the park and this hawk came down and grabbed a starling.. It was sad to watch.

Oh yeah and about the pigeons sensing them, it's amazing.. I noticed that Pearl is very sensitive these days and will get nervious when she looks out the window and hears the flock from the balcony quickly fly away, I think she senses the hawk and maybe even sees him high in the sky sometimes when I don't notice...
Hey Mary,
The "large" hawk we are talking about, which is probably a red tail, yes, they are mammal eaters mostly. Their diet consists of mice, rabbits, yes SQUIRRELS, and any small warm blooded animal they can capture and dispatch without too much fuss. Red tail hawks are very cool birds. I did a science project on them in grade 5. Taxidermist stuffed hawk and all! Yes Mary we have turkey vultures here in Canada but they are seasonal migrants here. They love to ride the "thermals" and basically are scavengers of the more southern regions but in the summer, they migrate up here because of the temperate climate and expanded territory offered to them during summer. All vultures and condors are preditory/raptors but they lack the speed, strength and agility to overcome live prey, therefore they are carrion consumers
That was a quick reply
Aha! That would explain why I have so many pigeons with no tails, to me it looks like this "big" hawk is not very good at catching pigeons..
Vultures are just beautiful, I don't think I'll see them here in the city of Toronto..
[This message has been edited by maryco (edited February 06, 2004).]
And yes Mary, you're right...Pearl probably sees the hawks all the time when you dont see them. My pigeons never stop amazing me with their keen vision. I'm SURE it must be comparable to that of the predators that stalk them. I've watched my birds freeze and watch the skies when I can't see anything. Then, upon VERY close inspection and scrutiny, I will see what they are looking at. Pigeons are like gazelles are to cheetahs. It's the constant evolutionary battle of preditor Vs. Prey and they see every bit as good as the birds that hunt them....their survival depends upon it.
You must have a very 'wild' back yard
That is also amazing about the mourning doves, I never knew they were so fast!
I've been searching on images at google.com but I can't seem to find any hawk with that white triange on his chest, I see spotted bodies and same wing colouring but no white triange..
[This message has been edited by maryco (edited February 06, 2004).]
I found it!!!
I believe I've identified the hawks as both being Red tail hawks,,
Here is a pic, http://www.peregrine-foundation.ca/raptors/idb1.html
The top one is an adult and looks like the one I saw on the balcony, the little one below is just like the one I saw this morning and yesterday eating the pigeon in the tree, so he is a youngster, Note the white triangle on their chests as well!
Hey Mary, there are many different "phases" of the red tail hawk during different maturity levels and even geographical regions. Keep in mind that no matter what, young or old, red tails are pretty large birds, 1/3 larger than a crow at most times. They appear "heavy" and sturdy. They would easily seem to be 3 times the size of a pigeon. Young coopers hawks look just like the juvenile red tail, only slimmer, longer tailed and only about the size of a smaller crow.
The best way to "Field" a bird is by comparing it to other birds of known size. Whether in flight or perched. A typical red tailed hawk is about 19-25 inches long...with a wingspan of 4 feet (48 inches). A large crow would only be about 19-20 inches long with a typical wingspan of about 36 inches or 3 feet. An average pigeon is about 13 inches long with a wingspan of about 25-26 inches. The best way to judge birds in the field is by comparing them to other birds that you are familiar with ie: a robin or a bluejay, crow or gull. It's hard to make a positive identification when birds are at a distance or in flight but using guides like this, will help.

Aldi billionaire's death announced belatedly
The German billionaire behind the Aldi supermarket chain has died aged 58.
Berthold Albrecht, who became one of Europe's richest men after he and his brother Theo jnr inherited the discount supermarket chain, died last month, his family announced yesterday. He is survived by his wife and five children.
The family has guarded its privacy fiercely since the kidnapping of Theo for 17 days in 1971. He was eventually released after a ransom of about $3 million (€2.3 million) was paid. True to his principles, he then went to court to have the ransom classified as a tax-deductible business expense.
The brothers' fortune was estimated at $17.8 billion by Forbes, placing them 32nd in its list of billionaires. Their wealth came courtesy of their father, Aldi co-founder Theo Albrecht, who died at 88 in 2010.
After the second World War, Theo and his brother Karl turned their mother's small grocery store into one of the nation's largest food retail chains.
The family has taken a back seat from day-to-day operations since 1993, when Theo snr appointed managers from outside the family. Aldi has estimated worldwide annual turnover of about €50 billion.

DIY for EGR?
Does anyone have a link to a DIY for an EGR removal and replacement?
2 Attachment(s)
Changing the EGR valve motor is easy, The valve itself is more involved.
EGR Valve Motor Removal Procedure.
Some vehicles may have a thin metal spacer between the motor and the valve that appears to be a gasket. This spacer is used to correct for production variances in some valves and should be reinstalled with the new motor.
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the air cleaner outlet duct, if necessary.
Remove the EGR valve motor harness connector.
Remove the four mounting screws from the EGR valve motor to the EGR valve. Discard the old mounting screws.
Remove the EGR motor and spacer (if equipped) from the engine. Save the spacer.
The EGR valve motor is packaged with new mounting screws.
Install the spacer (if equipped), the EGR valve motor and the new mounting screws to the EGR valve.
Tighten the four new mounting screws to 18 lb in.
Install the EGR valve motor harness connector.
Install the air cleaner outlet duct, if removed.
Connect the negative battery cable.
Cycle the ignition key to the run position with the engine not running to relearn the new EGR valve motor pintle position.
The dealer stated I had low flow from the egr and said it should be replaced at a cost of 800 and that it would take 4 hours. It sounds like they are talking about doing the valve as well. What does replacing the valve entail and is that normally necessary or just the motor? Thanks mike
Take it apart yourself and clean it. More than likely that's all the dealer is gonna do. And what year is the truck?
It's an 06 3500 dually
Do they make a specific duramax book or would it be covered in a chiton so I can get all of the torque info for a reinstall of all the components?
I disabled my EGR yesterday.....You can buy HPtuners & a EGR blocker, And just turn the EGR off for around $775, And never have to deal with the EGR system again. If you just fix it....It will cause problems again. As a bonus...Less soot in your oil:)
HPtuners HPTuners.com >> Performance At Your Fingertips
EGR blocker LBZ EGR Blocker Plate
I bought HPtuners because its cheaper than EFI live, If your after better support for your LBZ other than turning the EGR off & calibrating the speedo, Buy EFI live!
Buying tuning software will also allow you to scan & retrieve codes.
Im sure a vendor on the site can turn the EGR off via auto-cal cheaper, But I like doing my own stuff.
I got a custom-made EFI live tune from ATP trucks, and then a real delete (one that takes the whole egr system out) for less than $300.
Some of us are happy with our trucks, & dont want to do major surgery.
It's actually very easy, it's harder to reinstall it than delete it. But that is solely your decision buddy...

This spring, the Little Sisters of St. Therese in Haiti elected Sister Denise Desil as mother general. Mother Denise, a frequent visitor to Portland, is a midwife who speaks on healthy birthing in developing nations.
For many years, Mother Denise applied her training as a midwife in rural Haiti. She survived a building collapse in the 2010 earthquake and last year's Hurricane Matthew.
Velda Metelmann was born in 1922; Auriana Cook is 22. Both will accept their Marylhurst University diplomas as they join 300-plus degree candidates honored at Marylhurst's 123rd commencement June 24 at the Oregon Convention Center.
Velda Metelmann, 94, will pick up her third Marylhurst diploma. She earned her bachelor's in her mid-80s and her master's in interdisciplinary studies three years ago. Now she has completed a master's in food systems and society, attending classes predominantly online from her home in King City.
With Catholic Charities of Oregon guiding the project, 14 formerly homeless women moved into a village of tiny houses June 10 in North Portland.
"It makes a difference to be able to say, 'This is my place,'" said Desiree Rose, who lives at a similar grouping on city land a few miles away. Organizers of Kenton Village asked Rose to give advice on the new project, one of four in the city.
After the rain, I checked my garden and found everything I planted had jumped up significantly. Not only did I jump with joy, but I took a second look at the word "up" to learn why it often connotes delight.
A documentary featuring the pope, "Pope Francis — A Man of His Word," was bought by Focus Features for later theatrical release.

My Step son's birthday is next month so I decided to make him a holster for his M&P. I got the snaps a little too close on this one, I'll have to adjust the pattern for the next one. Overall I think this Prototype turned out pretty well.
It's also the first time using a blue gun to form the holster.

Aftermarket Amp with 130 stock HU? (2013 Sport)
I'm sure this has already been addressed in a thread somewhere, but having trouble finding it. I recently bought my 2013 Unlimited Sport and the first thing I knew I would need to do was upgrade the stereo because WOW its horrible. I have the stock 130 HU (no Alpine upgrade) with Sirius and Uconnect, so first thing I did was install the 77KICK10 Kicker speaker upgrade and polyfilled the sound bar and behind the front speakers. It did improve the sound quite a bit, but the speakers still distort at higher volume because of the under powered HU.
My question...If I wanted to install an aftermarket amp for power to the 4 Kickers, is the only way to splice into the wire harness using the leads to the speakers? I want to keep the stock HU for theft purposes and don't really want to install a sub for space reasons; I figured an amp to power the 4 kickers would be the best bet.
Is there a current wire harness guide out there as well to ease the splicing?
Only had the Jeep a month and I love it! Should've got one years ago.
You'll have to buy an inline Processor if you want to do it this way. May be easier to swap the HU out. The audio experts will jump in soon and help you out with specifics. I'll be in this boat in a little while but I'll be ripping everything out and starting from scratch. I think that's the best way to do it.
Isn't that audio system horrible :eek:
I installed the Alpine KTP-445U amp on my 2013 JK. It is the base Uconnect without the amp. I made a harness with a couple of METRA connectors so I wouldn't have to splice into the stock harness. With replacement speakers it is an improvement.

13 Ways of Looking at the Novel (edition 2006)
by Jane Smiley
Work details
13 Ways of Looking at the Novel by Jane Smiley
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Quite disappointing.
I read the introduction and thoroughly skimmed the 101 snapshots. ?�I have no idea why one would care about Smiley's musings on either novels in general, or on the 100 novels she read, unless one were a huge fan of the author and wanted to read everything she wrote. ?áOtherwise this seems like self-absorbed claptrap, as the saying goes. ?áI have not managed to read anything by Smiley, even though I have tried a couple of times. ?áI've also read, erm, maybe 4 of the books in that 101 list... and her notes did not encourage me to read any others. ?áMy one-word reaction: :gag:"
alright... so. this was a very frustrating read for me. at moments, smiley could not have been more spot-on and offered some very valuable gems. at other moments, i just wanted to call 'bullshit!' on some of her commentary. (in the early part of the book, not during the part where she shares her notes on the 100 books. one example came when she started talking about the ages of writers.) and then, at other moments, i found the smiley's insertion of herself so totally inappropriate (one example: right from the get-go (so that, unfortunately, got my defences up very early) when she notes some fairly legendary authors who share a birth month, then says 'me too!'. pfft. completely unnecessary.) it makes sense to me that smiley would talk about her own books and processes in the two later chapters that are aimed at writers and deal with writing novels. but each time she mentioned her own work in the earlier chapters, i wanted to stop reading the book. i was drawn to 13 ways.. because of the broad study it offered. i don't know that i would have such interest in reading a book only about smiley? look, i have read only two novels by smiley: A Thousand Acres and Moo. i read them years ago. i recall i liked them and smiley is definitely someone i planned to read more of (and i have her two latests books on my shelves). so i really had no strong opinion about smiley going into this read. what i did know about her made me think this would be worth reading. but there is a tone i felt while read 13 ways... that was really off-putting. it was part snob, part know-it-all, with moments of giant ego. i am not sure if this says more about me as the reader, though? although it was annoying to have to sift through so much.... stuff (and there was quite a bit of repetition too, and i really felt this read to be a slog at moments) to get to the interesting and useful bits, i did find those moments so good and really helpful. i read this in e-pub format, and it wasn't well done. so i do plan to acquire a hardcopy. i think it is a good resource for my books on writing collection, as i will probably want to reference very specific parts again. beyond that, i think i will stick to smiley's fiction, in the future.
It's not easy reading but is useful for English majors who want a refresher so they don't forget everything they learned. It was long and her review of essential novels starts at the half way mark of the book. The novels she chose are straight from my undergrad syllabus. It was nice to get another take on their significance and to hear her intelligent analysis.
The first 7 or 8 chapters were good or great, so I was willing to continue reading through the strange mix of book report and diary that the final "ways of looking at a novel" encompassed. By the 13th, though, I really didn't care about and in some ways actively disliked the author's point of view. I didn't venture into the summaries of 100 novels that followed.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
No descriptions found.
"Jane Smiley explores - as no novelist has before - the unparalleled intimacy of reading, why a novel succeeds (or doesn't), and how the novel has changed over time. She describes a novelist as "right on the cusp between someone who knows everything and someone who knows nothing," yet whose "job and ambition is to develop a theory of how it feels to be alive."" "Smiley invites us behind the scenes of novel-writing, sharing her own habits and spilling the secrets of her craft. She walks us step-by-step through the publication of her most recent novel, Good Faith, and, in two chapters on how to write "a novel of your own," offers advice to aspiring writers." "And in the conclusion, Smiley considers individually the one hundred books she read, from Don Quixote to Lolita to Atonement, presenting her own insights and often controversial opinions. Thirteen Ways is essential reading for anyone who has ever escaped into the pages of a novel or, for that matter, wanted to write one."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)

Technical Abstract: Molecular diagnostic methods were used to positively identify a new population of pale potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida (Stone) Behrens. PCR-RFLP of the rDNA ITS region, sequence-specific multiplex PCR, and DNA sequence comparisons all confirmed the identity of the Idaho population as G. pallida. The ITS rDNA of the Idaho isolate was identical to sequences obtained for populations from York, England and the Netherlands. Because the tobacco cyst nematode Globodera tabacum and the similar golden potato cyst nematode G. rostochiensis are also present in the U.S., the ability to distinguish G. pallida from these species will be particularly important as more states perform surveys for these cyst nematodes. To prepare for the possibility of mixed field populations, we have designed species-specific primers that can discriminate G. tabacum from G. pallida and G. rostochiensis. Future prospects for additional molecular diagnostics will also be discussed.

Police in Gambia continued to question Kate West, 26, yesterday in the capital of Banjul after she led them to the body of William West, 76, at the seaside village of Sanjang, where they owned a property. She denies murder.
Gambian detectives have been told Mr West was on the verge of ending his marriage to his wife, 50 years his junior, at the time he was killed.
They are consideringwhether he was poisoned before his body was burned, a theory which can only be confirmed by forensic tests.
The British high commission has told the Gambian authorities that the British forensic team will help with the identification; at the weekend British police officers entered Mr West's home in Hastings, East Sussex, to obtain samples of his DNA.
A friend of Mr West, David Jenkins, travelled to Gambia from the UK last week together with Mrs West. He said that he had worked with British police to ask her to return after she had arrived back in Hastings three weeks ago without her husband, known as Jar.
She had then told friends that her husband had gone missing when the couple went on a day trip to Senegal during a three-week holiday in Gambia.
Witness statements taken by local police include that of a nightwatchman at the couple's house, who said that he had only seen Mr West during the first week in early June; after that he was told he had returned to the UK.
Mr Jenkins, who is Mr West's accountant, said that Mrs West had been upset telling him about her husband's disappearance. "She just kept saying: 'I miss Jar, I want my husband back'."
In his quest to discover the fate of his friend, Mr Jenkins himself had paid for plane tickets, hotel rooms, and drivers in Gambia. He praised the speed with which local police investigated the disappearance.
Mr West, a widower born in Dublin, met his young wife in Gambia six years ago. Within a fortnight he had arranged to bring her to the UK. They married soon after in Scotland and Mrs West, originally from Ghana, obtained an Irish passport.
Mr Jenkins said that his friend had been bereft when his first wife, Doris, passed away eight years ago. "When he first met Kate he was much happier.
"They bought the place in Sanjang - but when he died they were in the process of selling it and his house in Hastings, to buy somewhere smaller in the UK and use the cash to live on."
When Mrs West returned to Gambia with Mr Jenkins, within 48 hours of her arrival she was arrested on suspicion of murder after identifying the location of her husband's remains.
A search of her bag revealed she was carrying her husband's will, dated July 2005, said local police. Mr Jenkins confirmed that the will stated Mr West wanted his estate, worth more than £750,000, to be left to his wife.
Gambian police said yesterday that they had arrested two further Nigerian men beside a man arrested on Thursday; all deny involvement.
Mrs West had not confessed to the murder, the local police said. "She maintains that five Nigerian men took Mr West from the house and then killed him. She told us that she had asked them they return the body to her because of the love she had for him."

- //Andrew Morton
Now that the tidal wave of hype over Andrew Morton's new book Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography has somewhat receded, one can get a good look at what remains.
On the one hand, if half of Morton's claims concerning Scientology are accurate, it's a frightening example of how easily people will turn over their souls when promised eternal happiness and a glimpse into life's mysteries. On the other hand, many of Morton's purported claims are mere asides about which there's little to fret.
Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography
Andrew Morton
(St. Martin's)
Of course, lawyers for Cruise and his beloved religion, Scientology, beg to differ. What's really interesting is not what they deny about the book; it's what they don't deny. But that's another story.
The prerelease sensationalism over Morton's supposed claims that some of Cruise's fellow Scientologists compare the birth of his daughter, Suri, to Rosemary's Baby, and that the girl was possibly conceived with the sperm of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard was just that: sensationalism. Neither was a theory on which Morton spent much time.
The exact wording of the so-called Rosemary's Baby claim was "Katie (Holmes) might have felt as if she were in the middle of a real-life version of the horror movie ..."
Morton based the scenario on interviews with nameless Scientologists who told him some members believed Suri was the vessel for the reincarnated soul of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, who assured his followers he would return following his earthly death. Fixating on that part of the story is missing the forest for a couple of gnarled saplings.
The book is ultimately about Scientology. Cruise gives it a face, and Morton creates the idea of a biography in the book's first 100 pages, building up Cruise's life with simple background that, while occasionally interesting, is mere setup to Morton dropping the hammer on Scientology.
We discover, for example, that Cruise has short-man's complex. We learn he was shaped by a negligent father and was driven to succeed. We find out he was dyslexic and some people liked him in high school, and some didn't. This isn't groundbreaking information, nor is it alone worth paying full price for the hardcover version.
Now, the photo of Hubbard administering a lie detector to a tomato? That's a whole different story.
The documentation of Cruise's early life aside, the book does have fascinating moments, if the reader can set aside Morton's irritating penchant for attributing about half the tales he tells. Though he claims to have interviewed 130 people, it doesn't help his credibility that nowhere among them were Cruise, his wife, ex-wives, close family members or Scientology leader David Miscavige. But it's also clear, through documented stories of Scientology's wild tales of space aliens, truth detectors, and vindictiveness toward defecting members, that no one close to the group could be on the record without fear of having their lives torn apart.
It's not all inflammatory. Morton does a decent job of profiling a driven and talented actor whom he obviously would admire outside of his involvement with Scientology. Cruise isn't necessarily the villain—at least until the final pages, when Morton calls him "sinister." Instead, he's almost a tragic figure stuck in the clutches of a controlling cult (once he establishes his clear opinion of Scientology, Morton rarely calls it anything but a "cult").
But while at times an interesting read, there are so many holes and extreme statements that come off as Morton's mere speculation. For example, there's little evidence provided to support Morton's claim that Cruise is effectively the second-in-command of Scientology. Morton bases this on Cruise spending a lot of time with the apparently star-struck Miscavige, racing cars, skydiving and taking vacations together. Cruise seemingly gets special privileges reserved for a high-level Miscavige confidant, but it's clear that's only because Cruise is Scientology's most visible recruit. Much of the book is Morton simply retelling stories we already know with clearer details, such as Cruise's infamous interview/rant with NBC's Matt Lauer and his purchase of a sonogram machine to monitor Suri's development.
Holes and all, it's a hard book to put down, especially with wild tales of Scientology spilling forth page after page. The entertainment value falls off toward book's end, when Morton attempts to wrap up his story with some editorializing and a diagnosis of both Cruise and his religion that, while seeming accurate to a degree, nevertheless comes off preachy. But that shouldn't ruin the reading, as long as one can take it all with the proper grain of salt.

THE location of where a new day care centre will be built has been criticised by service users.
Bucks County Council has announced that the chosen site for its day opportunity centre, in Chesham, will be Chiltern View Children's Home, in Nalders Road, which is due to close as part of a restructuring of children and family services.
The new centre, expected to open in summer 2014, will be close to the Endeavour Centre, which closed on April 30 as part of the council's planned programme to replace 22 day centres with six day opportunity centres.
Marilyn Gates, of Reynolds Lane, Chesham, whose son Simon uses the Endeavour's Outreach Centre, said: "I think it's ridiculous that they've moved all these dear students and split them up across the county to then move them back in next door. They should've stayed where they were, at least until they built the new place, to minimise the disruption they've caused.
"I don't know why they didn't just revamp the Endeavour Centre, it's provided a good service all these years. I think a lot of people will feel the same about this."
Chesham's town crier William Ellis, 33, of Bois Moor Road, used to attend the Endeavour Centre until its closure. He now uses the Outreach Centre, in East Street.
His mother Carol said: "I'm surprised at the location, I didn't think it would be so close. I don't understand why the Endeavour Centre had to close before the new one has opened? I think it's a big disruption for the users."
Bucks County Council's cabinet member for health and wellbeing, Patricia Birchley, said: "This is very good news for our clients, who must have as much certainty as possible about their future services. Our aim is always to provide an excellent service for disabled people and I intend to take a personal interest in the development of the new centre."
In September the council hopes to hold an event for people to view the plans, speak to architects, and give feedback before submitting the plans in November.

There is a lot of history to my relationship with this car. Let me try to be brief. The car started life as my step-mom's '94 Impreza L AWD. Crank windows, manual locks, 2580 lbs. Garage kept...perfect project car. It was passed down to me, and I had Rallispec do their magic w/a '94 WRX EJ20G. I had the most enjoyable 20k miles of my life in that swap. A year later I slid into a tree, and sold off the driveline to a guy in Tennessee who now has it in his '97 Impreza and runs mid 12's w/my old set-up.
Anyway, the damage was limited to the passenger side fender. I was enticed into buying a jdm front clip again last march, and this time set out to do the work myself...however, I've probably spent a total of 20-25 hours on the project, most of which has involved stripping down the front clip. For the past 8 months I've lived near Philly and am rarely in the Atlantic City area to work on the project (its at my parent's house sitting in my garage w/stock steelies), so I'm considering selling the whole she-bang.
You get everything necessary for the swap:
'94 Impreza L AWD, currently gutted and awaiting its new motor/tranny...the jdm 4.111 rear is already installed, along w/the jdm rear suspension and disc brakes. When this car was on the street, I had people constantly assuming the car was 1-2 years old, the paint and body are THAT good. Body has 180k miles, but you'd NEVER know it.
'93 WRX motor/tranny/ecu/harness/suspension/brakes/hood/turbo-back exhaust/xmember, etc w/55k miles (240 hp...comes w/powerful TD05-16g, easily capable of 350 hp w/accompanying mods...anyone unfamiliar with the 16g need only do a search to find out more). The jdm motor also comes w/a more streetable 8.5 to 1 compression ratio, which improves off-boost response, spool up, and makes running the larger 16g turbo more streetable.
I have the entire front clip, so turbo front crossmember is included. I also have the jdm exhaust from the front clip. I even have the jdm hood w/jdm scoop and vents, so this car will be one of a kind. What's more, the front clip was the EXACT same bright red as this car, so no painting is necessary. I have a replacement fender for the one that I ruined. The engine bay is shows slightly where I slid into the tree, but once the new fender is on, I don't think it will be noticable.
I really want to finish this project, but its just not happening, and I'm now prepared to sell this off and take a loss. I'm willing to let this go for $5000 OBO at this point. Once finished this will be a hot car. For pics of the car, see pages 4 and 6 of this link (if you're set on 25 posts/page): http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/sho...mp;pagenumber=4
If it suits the buyer, we can arrange to have the car and front clip transported to Rallispec for the swap, you just need to contact Rallispec, as all pricing/labor is between you and them. I am simply willing to deliver the car and driveline components to their shop. Otherwise, everything is here and ready for pickup. The car can be rolled around currently).
Hit me up w/any questions.

The topography of the central and peripheral cornea
Read, Scott A., Collins, Michael J., Carney, Leo G., & Franklin, Ross J. (2006) The topography of the central and peripheral cornea. Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, 47(4), pp. 1404-1415.
View at publisher (open access)
PURPOSE. To investigate the topography of the central and peripheral cornea in a group of young adult subjects with a range of normal refractive errors. METHODS. Corneal topography data were acquired for 100 young adult subjects by a method that allows central and peripheral maps to be combined to produce one large, extended corneal topography map. This computer-based method involves matching the common topographical features in the overlapping maps. Corneal height, axial radius of curvature, and axial power data were analyzed. The corneal height data were also fit with Zernike polynomials. RESULTS. Conic fitting to the corneal height data revealed the average apical radius (Ro) was 7.77 ± 0.2-mm and asphericity (Q) was –0.19 ± 0.1 for a 6-mm corneal diameter. The conic fit parameters were both found to change significantly for increasing corneal diameters. For a 10-mm corneal diameter, Ro was 7.72 ± 0.2 mm and Q was –0.36 ± 0.1. A slight but significant meridional variation was found in Q, with the steepest principal corneal meridian found to flatten at a slightly greater rate than the flattest meridian. The RMS fit error for the conic section was found to increase markedly for larger corneal diameters. Higher-order polynomial fits were needed to fit the peripheral corneal data adequately. Analysis of the axial power data revealed highly significant changes occurring in the corneal best-fit spherocylinder with increasing distance from the corneal center. The peripheral cornea was found to become significantly flatter and to decrease slightly in its toricity. Individual subjects exhibited a range of different patterns of central and peripheral corneal topography. Several of the higher order corneal surface Zernike coefficients were found to change significantly with increasing corneal diameter. CONCLUSIONS. Highly significant changes occur in the shape of the cornea in the periphery. On average, the peripheral cornea becomes significantly flatter and slightly less astigmatic than the central cornea. A conic section is a poor estimator of the peripheral cornea.

Striking writers to debate labor deal on Saturday
By Steve Gorman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Writers Guild of America plans to brief its members this weekend on a deal taking shape to end their 3-month-old strike, using the meetings to gauge rank-and-file support for the labor plan, union leaders said on Tuesday.
If members react favorably to the proposed deal at meetings set for Saturday in New York and Los Angeles, WGA leaders could act to lift or suspend the strike while a formal ratification process gets under way, two sources told Reuters.
Those sources, who are familiar with the circumstances but are barred from speaking publicly about them under a media blackout for the talks, cautioned, however, that no formal deal with the studios was yet in place. They said negotiators were still working out fine points in the contract language.
Hard-liners among the guild's leadership are expected to recommend a cautious approach on what steps to take next.
"There's lots of members urging the strike lasts until the contract is signed and ratified by the guild," one source said.
The latest communique from the presidents of WGA East and West Coast branches signaled that momentum toward reaching a settlement of the worst Hollywood labor clash in 20 years was progressing.
"We are continuing to negotiate the terms of a tentative agreement with the (studios)," said Michael Winship of the WGA East and Patric Verrone of the WGA West in an online message announcing the membership meeting schedules.
"We anticipate that we will be able to present the terms of that agreement to you in the next few days," they wrote, adding that the union leaders were seeking a "full discussion" with the rank-and-file on terms of the proposed deal. Continued...

A Guide for Men: How to Properly Care for Your Beard
Every man who has actively grown a beard understands how difficult the process of maintenance can be, as it is a daily ritual that requires a lot of patience and care. If you have ever experienced that irritating poking feeling, and not from external objects, but from your actual beard, then you know it is time to find a solution to this problem. Know that you do not have to live with this ailment forever, and there are a wealth of male-centric healthcare products currently available on the market that will help ease this irritation and tension. Today we are going to discuss what you can do to properly care for your beard.
On the bright side, having a beard is considered a right of passage into the wonderful world of manhood. And though it may be annoying, it is pretty cool that your body is capable of growing such a beautiful mane. Now it is up to you to make sure it is properly cared for by taking the right steps to manage and maintain it. Even the most experienced beard growers have difficulty managing this responsibility, but with the right Scruff Stuff Beard Care Products, you will set yourself on the path of success to building a healthy mane.
The trick rests in respecting your beard, and understanding how it grows. You must treat it with the utmost care, just as you do with the hair that rests atop your head. You can begin the process by investing in high quality beard oil and beard products, like conditioner that are specifically designed for your skin type. More about this are defined at http://www.ehow.com/how_10067121_make-facial-hair-softer.html. You can begin the application process in the shower, where you can apply a small dab of the beard oil onto the palm of your hand and work it through your facial hair thoroughly while the water still runs.
Make sure to massage the Scruff Stuff Beard Oil into your skin as well, because that is where a lot of the irritation occurs. This will remove all the built up dirt and excess dead skin that may be causing you irritation that results in itchiness. After you have worked it through your facial hair, rinse it out and step out of the shower. You will then take a comb and run it downwards through your beard while your hair is still damp. Style it anyway you would like, and refrain from itching and scratching it immediately afterwards, so you can allow the conditioner and oil to soak into your skin.

Save Up Your Allowance
You can't put music in a box, man. Music is free, music is the expression of individuality and our very souls, and you can't oppress that with your uptight geometric structures- wait, what was that? Oh, it's literally a box with music in it? Well that's not oppressive, that's just fun!
Hey Kids! Welcome to the Woot-Off! We've got a selection of really great things for you to choose from this go-round. You're probably gonna want to buy every single item, but unless you've been saving all your allowance and birthday money, you probably won't be able to.
You could ask your mom and dad to spot you a fiver, but then they'll probably give you some big fat lecture about responsibility and how getting things is so much better when you work hard for them and buy them yourself.
Parents, am I right? Every kid knows all the best things in life are the things you get someone else to buy for you, or steal from your big brother's room. It's cool. He broke your Megator with karate chop action action figure. He had it coming.

We have all seen all kinds of brawls in all kinds of different sports but there is nothing quite like the bench clearing brawls in baseball. It is usually set off by bad blood, a bad pitch, or just because they were bored but whatever reason it is, anytime players get into a fight in baseball the whole team rides behind the player. You almost never see a baseball fight where both of the teams don't go all out.
Considering that you may end up going into battle with your team, you should obviously want guys who will be able to scrap a little. GMs take notes, if you are putting a team together you definitely want to have at least one or two guys like the past/present baseball players on this list. Enjoy.
Frank Thomas: Don't let the smile fool you, they don't call this guy the big hurt for nothing.
Albert Belle: Looks like a charming fellow.
Kevin Youkalis: He could probably stash a blade in the beard.
Coco Crisp: With evasive skills like that, how could you not want him on you side?
John Rocker: Anyone crazy enough to say enough to say what he said about New York citizens, HAS to be able to defend themselves.
Randy Johnson: At 6'10", he's probably got the reach advantage.
Barry Bonds/Roger Clemens: Besides the obvious reasons, if these guys just went around head butting people they'd win pretty easily.
Jose Offerman: Anyone who fights dirty definitely needs to be on my side.
Tom Glavine: He used to play hockey, he even got drafted into the NHL before choose baseball. That's gotta count for something.
Nolan Ryan: Just Robin Ventura what he thinks.
Milton Bradley: He is just plain crazy.
George Brett: He had a bad temper.
Babe Ruth: Never saw him fight (obviously) but he looked like he could hold his own.
Ichiro Suzuki/Akinori Iwamura/Kosuke Fukodome/Daisuke Matsuzaka: I am counting all of these guys as one since at least one of these guys has to know some karate.
Jose Canseco: Steroids have done wonders for Jose's career. First, he still managed to get mentioned in the media even though he should have been forgetten about years ago and now he gets mentioned on this blog. That's the highlight of his career.
Mo Vaughn: That's a big fella.
CC Sabathia: Another big fella.
Pedro Martinez: Only if we are fighting old guys.
Ugueth Urbina: He's probably got a machete hidden somewhere under his uniform.

The whole Kurt Rambis story was just so messy that the longer it prolonged the messier it got for both the president of basketball operations as well as the Minnesota Timberwolves where the coach was employed. The organization became a target of lots of criticism locally for allowing the coach to twist things around and then tarnish the Timberwolves' decision across the entire league while you have well accomplished candidates such as Kahn taking other jobs. Las Vegas odds
A firing has long been expected and was officially announced yesterday which ended over three months of bad taste and awkwardness which surrounded the Timberwoves head coach known as the worst team just last season. Vegas odds
Khan said "People can argue about this should have happened and that should've happened, but I think collectively we felt that we were doing the right thing in terms of the way we approached it," "But I also recognize it took a long time. That's on me. And I realize that it can look more convoluted and complicated than maybe it really is, and that's on me. And to that extent I feel badly about that, too, and I apologize for that."
Kahn had decided to hire Rambis back in 2009 in order to turn around the franchise. But it was Rambis who went 32-132 in his two seasons which put the team on the league's worst game record for the second time that year. The rather strange turn of events took place when Kahn had asked to hold his own press conference just prior to the season finale on April 13th in order to announce that it would take time to made a decision on the new coach's future. It was that summer that Kahn had asked Rambis to write a report which would change if he had returned for the third season and asked a position in the front office if he stepped down as head coach. Betting lines
Kahn spoke about finding the right coach for the team and also mentioned that 18 were already fired since then "I wish it was easier to do," "I feel certainly the weight of having to do this. I don't want to say this at Kurt's expense, but obviously we need to do it better than the last one."

/// Bras in a Box and Netflix-Like Clothing Swaps? New Services Look to Disrupt Online Shopping.
Free at-home try-ons. Subscription socks in a box. Robot-chosen bras. If "regular" online retailers were starting to disrupt brick-and-mortar stores ten years ago, niche businesses like these now want to change the way we buy our clothes — and nab repeat customers in the process. I've been curious about these services because, frankly, I hate to shop. I've done at-home try-ons before — like Warby Parker eyeglasses — and subscribed to BirchBox for a while, which sends boxes of beauty samples for $10 a month. Could I possibly never have to shop for clothes again, either? The three services I've been testing the past couple weeks are StitchFix, Le Tote and True&Co. All three use computer algorithms to personalize the fit and experience for you, based on the information you provide in an online quiz. And all three cater to women — though there are similar options out there for men, like Trunk Club. [ See post to watch video ] StitchFix is both an at-home try-on service for clothes and an optional subscription service. The clothes kits, called "fixes," often contain staples, like a good pair of black pants, but will also include a couple wildcards and accessories. You'll pay a $20 "styling" fee for every fix you get. Le Tote is a clothing rental service — think RentTheRunway, but for everyday clothes — that sends you a regular rotation of items that might be outside of your usual style repertoire. You can keep these clothes for as long as you like, as you might a Netflix DVD, but the monthly rental fee is a hefty $49.

Cairo • At least two South Korean tourists and their Egyptian driver were killed Sunday when an explosion ripped through a tour bus in a resort town in the Sinai Peninsula, in what officials said was the first deadly attack on tourists by militants in Egypt in at least three years.
The bus, which was carrying more than 30 people, had been parked in the southern Sinai town of Taba, near the border with Israel, when the blast occurred. Officials said they believed an explosive device had been placed in the vehicle, possibly under the driver's seat. Photographs of the aftermath of the bombing showed heavy damage to the chassis of the yellow bus, which was engulfed by fire after the explosion.

Horizontal drywalling
Do I need to support the drywall between the studs where the top and bottom drywall sheets meet when horizontally installing drywall?
No, not if the studs are spaced at 16" centers.
3/8" drywall needs 16"o.c. perpendicular or parallel, no 24"o.c. studs
http://gypsum.org/pdf/GA-216-2010.html Table #1.
Absolutely not.
you should never have to put blocking in between studs for wallboard. I've seen blocking ran to ensure the studs are kept straight, but like mentioned 16 OC is okay for all sizes of wallboard and blocking is not needed or of any benefit. If you have studs that are 24 OC you should always jump to 5/8 wallboard
No and hang the top sheet first of course after u rock the ceiling

The iOS version of The War of the Lions is also on its way this spring. Though we mentioned it a couple of days ago, Square Enix confirmed today that Final Fantasy III is headed to Apple's devices. Similar to the V-Jump article the other day, it's still unknown whether the iOS platform is getting the Nintendo DS remake or enhanced 2D graphics. On the other hand, Square opened an official website which gives the game a release window of next month in Japan. Hopefully, like all other Square Enix iOS releases in the past, the West will get the game at the same time.

Music is not just for the ears, but also for the eyes. With the new mufin android app your music can be visualized. Your music collection is arranged graphically, displayed as a star system by mufin. Songs that belong to a playlist are connected with each other. Information about the artists and the songs are displayed in an instant. The visualization is done through a map of your music, in which navigation via various parameters such as mood (from cheerful to sad) is possible.
The app can be downloaded for free here. Anybody who wants to know more about this and see some nice pictures on the subject of visualization of music, can read this interesting article from the mufin blog.

Hey guys I wanted to ask you if anyone of you have the Sam and Max hit the road from the Lucasarts classics.Can somebody play it on Windows Vista or Windows 7?Or does it get bugged like the Space Quest collection I bought a few months ago?
12 Comments - Linear Discussion: Classic Style
So long as you have acquired the game through legitimate channels, you can play it through SCUMMVM -
The best thing to do is to use ScummVM to play Sam & Max Hit The Road. It's easy to use. Just run ScummVM, click on add game, and navigate to the directory you installed it in. After going through the prompts, now, just click on the game in the ScummVM GUI and click Start.Foinikas;687247 said:Hey guys I wanted to ask you if anyone of you have the Sam and Max hit the road from the Lucasarts classics. Can somebody play it on Windows Vista or Windows 7?Or does it get bugged like the Space Quest collection I bought a few months ago?
To play Space Quest collection, you can play the first five games in ScummVM too (the 6th isn't fully supported yet). You can also install Collector's DOSBox update to play the Space Quest games in a newer version of DOSBox (and with various fan patches) that should fix most problems.
If it works with ScummVM, why be gung ho about running it differently? You just load in the data files from the CD/DVD.
Foinikas;687331 said:I was asking for the original CD/DVD of Lucasarts classics
Buy it on eBay.
I think we're all getting a little confused. Essentially, if you have got a copy of "Sam and Max Hit the Road" you will find that you cannot run it on later versions of Windows at all - unless, as formerly discussed, you run it through SCUMMVM. In which case it works fine.
If I read his post correctly, he's talking about the early 2000's re-release that Activision put out in Europe. In that case, it might work. It uses Aaron Giles' Windows port (he made a bunch of ports of LucasArts adventure games to Windows before he left LucasArts, and LucasArts didn't bother re-releasing them until years later), and the Steam games also use Aaron's Windows ports, and they work in Windows 7.
However, you're still better off playing Sam & Max Hit the Road in ScummVM than in the original executable by LucasArts, as ScummVM fixes a fairly major bug that causes the game to hang in the original executable.

Tortoise and Bonnie Prince Billy | Richard Cheese
Cover albums are generally the province of self-indulgence and creative ennui, wherein the revisionists attempt to relive a childhood fantasy or merely leech off other people's ideas because they have nothing of import to say. The Bold and the Brave the recent collaboration between gloomy alt-rockster Will Oldham (under the moniker Bonnie Prince Billy) and ambient post-rock moodsters Tortoise does little to refute this theory. The scratch effect on Oldham's voice in Tortoise's tuneless version of Elton John's classic "Daniel" tries for antediluvian texture but achieves a soulless crackle at most. Additional indie picks from the Minutemen, Devo, and Richard Thompson are too deliberate to be clever, too decisively formed to permit any raw energy, and too bloodlessly lethargic to make for anything lasting or compelling. And for all of the supposed prestige behind the Tortoise and Oldham brand names, The Bold and the Brave is little more than a novelty record in denial. In the end, the album creaks under the onus of Oldham's wispy, dolorous warble and Tortoise's pretentious pile of pretty noise.
A more honest album is Richard Cheese's The Sunny Side of the Moon. Cheese is the vaunted lounge Lothario who butchers pop songs in a witless display of Vegas schmaltz. Denizens of bad taste might appreciate the Sinatra-does-Metallica formula, but be warned: Cheese is no Sinatra. Few sentient beings will be impressed by Cheese's flat voice and unfunny offshoots of pop, heavy metal, and hip-hop. His sterile mutation of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" adds a mambo-infused timbre to the mix, but Cheese's delivery is ultimately noisome. His moody, ivory-tickling version of Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice" is vaguely interesting that is, if you're not catatonic by the time you get to Track 15. It's an album that was intended to be listened to in small doses for a few cheap laughs before the munchies set in. But, unlike The Bold and the Brave, at least it serves some purpose.
