new to here, and strange question.
Hello, all. I'm new to here, I don't have a hot rod, but I have a '99 Crown Vic police interceptor. Anyway, I had a somewhat strange question:
I was thinking a cool budget hot rod would be an S10 blazer frame with a t-bucket style body, SBC, and T-10. My question is, if I got the blazer with a title, what are the limits of modifications? Does the title go with the body, which has the tag? If so, how do you title a homebuilt car, especially if I make my own body. Any ideas?
It depends heavily on the state, but basically your vehicle's VIN is whatever VIN came on the part that the plate attaches to.
Its kind of a weird setup. Technically, most current American cars have the VIN on a plate that attaches to the dashboard sheetmetal. So, let's say you have a totalled Monte Carlo and you replace all the body panels with Olds Cutlass panels. The car is still a Monte Carlo for registration purposes. But, lets say you need to replace the dashboard sheetmetal. If you put a dashboard in from a Cutlass, you should (logically) retain the VIN from the Monte Carlo, but technically speaking you're not allowed to do that. Removing a VIN plate is illegal unless you're authorized to do it.
The truth usually falls somewhere in between. Its kind of a common sense setup. If you actually did replace the dashboard sheetmetal you would retain your original VIN and no one would ask questions. Its a semantics game and you retain the common sense VIN.
in your case, If you own both vehicles and are combining the two, its a matter of semantics. Are you modifying a T bucket to accept an S10 frame, or are you modifying an S10 to carry a T bucket body? In that case, I would select the VIN from the T. When you take the car to the DMV/DOT for registration, they aren't going to look at the frame and recognize it, but they will recognize the body style. If they see a Model T with a Chevy VIN, they'll start asking questions.
Each state has pretty straightforward laws about this so make sure you know what your state requires. Then hit up some car shows in your state and ask fellow customizers what they've done. There is paper law, then there is actual practiced law. Knowing which ones are enforced is your key to success.
This "idea" has been discussed here before...
S10 frames make for a VERY ugly chassis under one of the early Ford bodies... Too wide, too long and too many contours...
You would be better off to put a V8 in the S10 and hotrod that...
The s-10 frame is too wide for a T-bucket. A T- bucket frame is not that expensive to buy and they are easy to make. As far as the titleing question....you should check with your state DMV as each state is different.
Well, I was more asking if I fabricated a body myself that had no tags. I'm not all that worried about how it looks, per se, because I just want it to be cheap.
If you only want something that's cheap, just work with the body that's on the S-10 Blazer.
You could cut off the top and make it a convertible (probably with a roll bar to replace the body stiffness of the top). Then trim back the front fenders, or remove them and fabricate some other type of fender that will support the hood. If you made the right body alterations, you could end up with a big CJ-like vehicle. It might not be pretty, but it would be unique.
You don't even need to have a hood if you waterproof the ignition and other electrical accessories under the hood.
These mods to an existing body might make the truck look like a bad jigsaw puzzle gone wrong, but it doesn't sound like you care about looks.
For the type of car? you want to build take a look at wishnevsky's Journal:
Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote
If you have the actual paper work for your old tin, hats off to you, because then they have to go by the title to the tin, and you have all kinds of variable freedoms with this situation.
Now back to the Monte Carlo and Cutlass deal, since your original title was to the Monte, and you had to replace the dash, then you should actually pull the vin from your damaged Monte Carlo dash board and re-install it to the new donor dash. Theoretically, you are not doing a major chassis, engine, etc....swap on the original car. You are repairing the car. It is legal to do this swap, to keep the original car same same.
Unless your planning to manufacture the swap kit for the V8 to S-10, you can build a T frame cheaper bout $100.00 for material. Time you dropped the spindles and the rear end its even more.I liked the earlier suggestion to use what you have and make something of that. And I know you said you don't care what it looks like but at least make it attractive to you.
My 2 cents
Cool, I had no idea a T-frame would be that cheap to make. What kind of welder would work best?
I use 1 1/2 x 3 tubing. You can weld with either tig or mig or even with an arc welder, but you may need to do so serious grinding (I know I would) if you go the arc welding route. One 20 foot stick is enough to make the frame. If you TIG be sure to chamfer the joints if you use the 3/16 wall tubing. Alot of people use .093 to .125 wall which will work as well. My son and I are building two of these now, mine is getting pretty expensive while my son hopes to have his on the road for around 4 grand, so it is never cheap no matter what you can do your self.
Let us know how it goes for you
Or you could just use a older VW-Bug. Straight Axle up front, small, available parts, not too complex, and its got a small rear mounted engine. You could even re-use the Bug's body if you done the right cutting on it. And, their not really that hard to find. Or you could always find some aborted Dune buggy Project.
Budget built (Rat) Rod from scratch
Read this thread also.
Straight-Axles are not that hard to find actually, I think i have access to about 3 right now. Look into 50's and early 60's pick-ups, as their the most avaible.
I guess it just depends on what your looking to build though
Or any kind of cast off truck cab, like 60's Internationals have an interesting look to them. Or you could always just buy a late 40s-Late 50's car body and use your S-10 as a decent chassis for it.
Seems to work pretty well in most cases.
Pretty sure in Massachusetts here they make you go by what the vehicle most resembles for registration and title purposes. If your body ends up being home-made or a "kit" that you buy. You will then need to go for a NEW manufacture title.
Kinda stinks having a 23' T-Bucket with a title saying it's a 2007

Christ's Resurrection and Our Justification
from R.C. Sproul Apr 16, 2017 Category: ArticlesHow is the resurrection of Christ linked to the idea of justification in the New Testament? To answer this question, we must first explore the use and meaning of the term justification in the New Testament. Confusion about this has provoked some of the fiercest controversies in the history of the church. The Protestant Reformation itself was fought over the issue of justification. In all its complications, the unreconciled and unreconcilable difference in the debate came down to the question of whether our justification before God is grounded in the infusion of Christ's righteousness into us, by which we become inherently righteous, or in the imputation, or reckoning, of Christ's righteousness to us while we are still sinners. The difference between these views makes all the difference in our understanding of the Gospel and of how we are saved. Keep Reading

Looked and felt gorgeous!Reviewed on 12/15/2012 Kristin L
I am so happy we decided to use One Bridal Company for my November 10, 2012 wedding. We had Tai and her team come to the house and do make for me, my six bridesmaids, my mother and one of my grandmothers. They were so great! Each of the girls had drop dead gorgeous hair... Read More and makeup. They all had different styles, but each girl still looked like herself. The airbrushing was such a treat! It feels like you're not wearing makeup at all. None of our makeup smudged or ran all day long! It was great to have one less thing to worry about. Tai and her team were efficient and did such an amazing job on everyone. We all looked fabulous and felt so pampered! I would use One Bridal Company again for hair and makeup, and recommend them to any bride wanting to look and feel their best!
Love Ami!!!Reviewed on 8/07/2013 Lindsey B
I used One Bridal Company for my wedding on August 2nd 2013. I was referred to Ami, the owner, by my wedding coordinator. I called and spoke with Ami to schedule a trial. She was very accomodating with my schedule. I'm a little OCD, so I had sent her pictures of hair and makeup... Read More styles I wanted. During the trial, we went through the pictures and asked me specifically what I liked about each one. I had tons of fun getting to know her and she nailed the looked I wanted on the first try. I gave her a deposit that same day for the wedding. On my wedding day, Ami and an assistant stylist were on time and ready to go. They got to work right away on the moms, aunts, and bridesmaids. Ami did my hair and makeup and spent tons of time making sure everything was just right. the best part is Ami came back right before the reception and styled my hair a different way that I thought would be easier for me to dance in. I loved everything they did and I would recommend them to anyone.
Just Wonderful!!Reviewed on 4/18/2013 Kelli B
I spend the most time looking for vendors on the hair and makeup stylist. I seriously scoured websites for MONTHS. It was a large expense and I wanted it perfect. I looked over One Bridal Co. as one of the first vendors but was weary because the price was rather high. I later... Read More decided to do a trial for the wedding (1/12/13) and I completely changed my mind. Ami did my hair and makeup on both days (the trial and the wedding) and it couldn't have been more perfect. She listened to what I wanted and was open for my opinion. At the trial I decided that I wanted to do a half-up do for the ceremony and put it all up for the reception. Since they were at the same place (Hotel Baker in St. Charles, a few block from the salon) Ami offered to come to the hotel and put it up for me. I was planning on having one of my bridesmaids do it but this was much better. She came exactly on time when I needed her and put it up in a perfect style. I could not have been happier. There are a few aspect of a wedding that are worth the expense and your hair and makeup should be one of them. They are completely worth every cent. I had such a great experience.
Christen did a beautiful job on my hair and make-up and made me feel like a princess! Her personalized attention to detail was fantastic and her work shined! As the bride, she provided a relaxed and wonderful experience! Highly recommend her for bridal hair and makeup!
I reached out to One Bridal Salon & Co. on the recommendation of a friend who had been married recently. I am so happy I did because these girls made my wedding day so special! They traveled into Chicago to do hair and make-up for me, my 4 bridesmaids, my mom, and MIL. They were... Read More incredibly patient with everyone's needs and requests, and made us all feel SO beautiful. All of our hair and make-up held up all day and night, despite the insane heat of our July wedding. My maid of honor was joking that we should have included Kristy as a fifth bridesmaid because she was so fun to have around! I would recommend these women for wedding hair & make-up to anyone!
I absolutely loved working with Alexa from One Bridal Company! She did the make up for my mom, my sister, and myself on my wedding day a few weeks ago and she did a fantastic job! She is so friendly/approachable, and she really listened to what kind of looks we wanted and made... Read More those looks come to life for us. We had an awesome trial experience with her as well. My actual wedding day look for my hair was completely different than my trial look, but Alexa nailed it, despite my last minute change of heart. When I went for my trial everyone at the salon was super friendly/polite and made me feel comfortable. I would absolutely 100% highly recommend this company for both hair and makeup, especially Alexa! She made getting ready the day of my wedding more fun than stressful. :)
I had my hair and makeup done by Katie Phelps when I served as the maid of honor in my best friend's wedding. Katie was fun, professional and easygoing. She gave me exactly what I asked for and both my makeup and hair looked flawless the whole evening. I'd highly recommend Katie... Read More for her upbeat attitude and her willingness to work with her clients to make them look their best!
I recently got married at Two Brothers Round House in Aurora IL. I live in Chicago and a friend recommended Katie Phelps at One Salon and Spa. I was nervous about finding someone to trust to do my hair and make up. When I met Katie for my consultation she was so kind and... Read More flexible to what I wanted and what is possible with my flat thin hair. I left the consultation happy and relieved. The day of the Wedding she came to my hotel room early so she could set up. She did both my hair, my mom, and maid of honor as well. She did my hair first and then finished my make up as the camera guys and videographer arrived. She kept me calm as the room got crowded and crazed. Katie didn't skip a beat as I change my eye shadow choice spontaneously at the last minute. My hair was soft and pretty like I asked and stayed put all night long! Katie knows what she is doing and was beyond professional. She was kind,supportive, and talented all the things I needed her to be. Thanks you Katie and I would recommend her to anyone she rocks!
Alexa did my hair and make-up for my 6/20/2015 wedding. She did a fantastic job! I felt radiant and beautiful the whole night. I would recommend Alexa and the entire One Bridal staff, as my mom and bridesmaids loved their hair and make-up too! Thank you!!
I was ecstatic to have someone I trust with my hair and make up (it's a bonus that I also genuinely like Ami and her team as a people) travel 2 hours for my wedding day! Ami brought Katie and both were fabulous (professional and so accommodating) throughout the day! Everyone's... Read More hair and make up held up throughout the night (hottest day of the year in Madison, WI and no AC) and looked beautiful. The girls went lighter on ladies who were less accustomed to wearing make up and everyone looked natural but gorgeous (nothing cakey or glittery). I felt abolsolutely spoiled. My hair was perfect. I would recommend One Salon over and over again.
I recently worked with One Bridal Company for my August wedding. I really enjoyed working with them. My makeup/hair artist was Katie and she was great. When I called concerned that two stylists wouldn't be enough for my bridal party, they were very accommodating and sent three... Read More stylists instead. My only negative would be that I didn't get a written invoice, and that was a little confusing when I had to put 50% down, and then pay the total in full before the wedding. It would have been nice to have an invoice to keep track of everything! Overall, I would highly recommend One Bridal for your wedding hair and makeup, I don't think you'll be disappointed!
i used One Bridal Company for hair/makeup services on my wedding day for myself and my wedding party. They did a beautiful job! Each stylist was professional and committed to making each person feel beautiful. Thank you so much!
I love how Katie did my hair for my wedding day. She listened to what I was looking for, and exceeded my expectations. It drizzled several times throughout the day of my wedding, but we still took photos outside. I was worried it would ruin my hair, but Katie did such an amazing... Read More job, it still looked great. At the end of the night, my hair looked exactly the same as it did earlier in the day. I think that says a lot about how talented Katie is. She is wonderful at what she does, and I definitely recommend her services.
I used One Bridal for my wedding makeup this June and was very happy with the quality of the service and professionalism of the artists. Alexa and Rhonda were the artists for the day. We had seven women who got their makeup done, all of which were happy with how beautiful they... Read More looked. The artists arrived on time and got everyone done in the time frame that was projected. The makeup lasted the entire night (through the sweat and tears). I would definitely recommend One Bridal to any future brides that want to have one less thing to worry about on their big day!
Hair and Makeup at Home!Reviewed on 7/06/2015 Sophia W
I had hair and makeup done for myself(bride), my mom and all 6 of my bridesmaids on the day of my wedding at my parents home. It was so relaxing to have it at home. We had brunch in the morning. Four stylists came to the house and were done with plenty of time. They even had... Read More time to do hair and make up for my brother's girlfriend which we hadn't originally planned. They were fun, easy going and listened that the girls in my wedding party didn't want a ton of eye makeup. Alexa did a great job on my hair and makeup. I made an adjustment from when we had done the trial and she added just what I wanted. While it is a bit pricey I was told by many who came that morning that it was the most relaxing wedding morning they had ever been to which to me made it totally worth it!
I had two stylists working on eight hairdos for my bridal party as well as make up for me. The five junior bridesmaids hair were adorable and all were happy despite not looking exactly like the picture one provided. My makeup was flawless and I loved my hair; but my stylist... Read More did put my veil in backward so the hem was showing instead of the jewels. It ruined the hair a bit when I had to take it out after she left (I didn't realize it until pictures were starting), but overall the style was still in place and it still looked good. Overall, I'd say solid work and a pleasure to be around.
The BEST for Hair and MakeupReviewed on 3/30/2015 Kristen S
I love Ami and her crew. I came in for a hair and makeup trial and left feeling like I had known Ami for years. I came in an additional two times just to try different hairstyles - I could not make up my mind. Every time I came back Ami was reassuring and supportive and did a... Read More great job. I also got my eyelashes done by Amanda - first I got them tinted, then I got extensions - obsessed. Amanda had me laughing the entire time I was on the table getting my lashes done - which - for a full eyelash extension set is approximately 2 hours. Everyone at One Bridal Company is talented and sweet and FUNNY...great people, great company. I'm terribly sad I'm moving out of state - I want to take them all with me.
A Beautiful BrideReviewed on 11/22/2014 Stephanie P
Patti did the hair and makeup for not only myself but also for a very good friend and my mother for my wedding. She was on time, patient and creative. I decided to adjust hairstyle the last minute and Patti's creation both in hair and make up made the three of us stunning by... Read More still like ourselves. Wish I could have this done everyday if Patti was the one to do it! Thank you so much!
Fantastic hair and makeup!Reviewed on 11/09/2014
Ami did an outstanding job on my hair and makeup for my Sept 26, 2014 wedding. She did a great job at accenting my natural features with my makeup without going over the top gaudy. My hair looked amazing too! I referenced a picture from a previous wedding she did, and it came... Read More out looking even better than the original. She was also good at listening to my feedback about adding more volume to my hair, which is usually how I wear it. Alexa also did my sister and niece's hair (flower girl). She said she wanted a princess Elsa hair-do from Frozen (side twists and a bun) and she nailed it! Absolutely adorable! Just an all around great experience and very sweet and caring staff!
One Bridal Co. made it a perfect day!Reviewed on 10/24/2014 Dawn T
My daughter (MOH) and I had our hair and make-up done at One Bridal Co. and we couldn't have been happier with the results. We loved the atmosphere at the salon and everyone was professional and fun. We brought pictures of hair styles to our hair & make up trials and we got the... Read More exact styles we wanted. My hair stayed put all day in July! Highly recommended.
Wedding transformation was complete!Reviewed on 10/21/2014
Paty Ramirez at One Salon has been my daughter's and my hair stylist and color genius for over 12 years. With my eldest son's wedding on 10/18/14, my daughter and I would not trust anyone else with the task of making us look and feel our best for such a special day. Paty, as... Read More always, came through for us in a big way! She came in bright and early (7:30 a.m.!) to make sure we both had plenty of time to get our hair and makeup done and still leave us time to get dressed and head into Chicago for the wedding events! We were both very pleased with our hairstyles - my 26 yr old daughter chose to keep her hair long and curled, and Paty put mine up in a classic French twist. Paty air brushed our makeup, so we looked great and better yet, we felt beautiful! Our hair and makeup stayed fresh the entire day. Thanks again to Paty and One Salon! For a major life event such as a wedding, or for any day in between, you can't go wrong at One Salon and Bridal Company!
Great ExperienceReviewed on 10/15/2014 Christy B
Katie Phelps did an amazing job on my hair and makeup for my wedding day. She is talented and super accommodating - even running back to my venue (down the street from the salon) to do a few touchups after my ceremony. All of my bridesmaids that got services were also happy. It... Read More is a little pricey, but definitely worth it.
Great wedding hair and makeup!Reviewed on 10/09/2014 Christine A
My maid of honor and I had our hair and makeup done for my wedding and we could not have been happier with the results. We both worked with Alexa, and she was awesome. We didn't come in with tons of ideas, so we just showed her a couple pictures and she took it from there.... Read More Everyone complimented us on how awesome we looked and our photographer told us our skin looked flawless in the pictures. I would definitely recommend One Salon and Alexa to anyone needing bridal services!!
Amazing!Reviewed on 7/08/2014 Kelly G
I worked with Amy and Patty on this and they were amazing! I did the bridal package which included 2 facials and the hair/makeup trials. They traveled to our wedding location to do all the hair and makeup for the bridesmaids and myself. They were early and ready to go when... Read More all of us arrived. They kept us on time and even left extra supplies like Bobbie pins if there were any last minute fly aways. I highly recommend Bridal One for your wedding or event!
Absolute perfection!Reviewed on 7/08/2014
I can't say enough wonderful things about Ami and One Salon. The hair...the makeup...flawless! We did a trial a few months before the wedding but at the last minute I changed my mind. The day of the wedding we scrapped it all and came up with the perfect hair and makeup to... Read More compliment my style. I felt comfortable and beautiful throughout the evening. Almost two weeks later and I'm still receiving compliments. Ami, I can't thank you enough!!!

Super Duper Alice Cooper
The movies above have their own pages. Below is a selection of other random movie info
Andy Michael sent me this list of films that Alice has been linked to at one time or another but never happened:
"Leviathan" - movie about a giant hurricane that attacks the west coast of America with Stacy Keach, Cliff Robertson and Orson Wells.
"American Needle"
"Breakfast Of Champions" (more than a rumour).
"Wizard Of Oz" (remake)
"Billy Sunday" - Stage play - more than a rumour I think
"Deadly ID" - circa 1980
Musical based on Jack The Ripper, written with Bernie Taupin.
In the late seventies it was frequently reported that Alice was going to star in the movie of Kurt Vonnegut's 'Breakfast Of Champions'. The film wasn`t made until over 20 years later with no Alice involvement.
Out of curiosity, does anyone know what his favourite film of all time is?
Actually there's no easy answer to that-it's the same as asking him what his favorite AC album is (to which he usually responds , "that would be trying to answer which one of your kids is your favorite). And I think you would have to break it into categories and I think it changes from time to time. Anyway, among the answers would be; West Side Story (pretty obvious). Horror movie - Evil Dead gets a lot of mentions,loves the movies Ed Wood made, really bad kung-fu movies, The Producers (with Gene Wilder--this actually may be THE movie for him).. He's a real buff so the list goes on and on.
(Renfield, June 1995)
Alice is in the film 'Maverick' In the saloon scene at the beginning. You only see his back and some of his long hair. For all intent and purposes; he is not in the film.
(Renfield, September 1995)
Richard Donner [invited him] who he's been friends with for awhile.
(Renfield, February 1996)
I just received word from Reggie Bannister of 'Phantasm' fame that Don Coscarelli will offer Alice a role in P4. When P4 will get off the ground or what type of role it will be, I do not know, but we shall see.
(Sickthing, December 1995)
This didn`t happen but...
March 4, 2001 A.D.
Phantasm 5 is shaping up to have a fantastic cult cast in line... the latest name to become connected with the project is Alice Cooper. Reggie Bannister has been talking to the legendary rocker about a part in the film. Reggie (who also looks to be involved as an executive producer as well as lead actor) has also let loose that Chicago DJ Personality Man Cow may even make a cameo in the film. Are things getting wild yet?
..And it STILL hasn`t happened!
I worked on "Dazed & Confused" as well as "Slacker" and have known Rick Linklater [the director] since several years previous. As I understood it, the music for the soundtrack was a major issue for Rick. It was the soundtrack that the Hollywood big boys tried to reign Rick in with. The filming of "Dazed" was a battlefield between the Slackers and H'wood anyway. The Studio was trying to coerce Rick into allowing current acts to re-record the music for the "Dazed" soundtrack instead of using the originals, which he fought tooth and nail. Ultimately, they cut his soundtrack budget in the hopes that he would succumb to their wishes. Since Rick couldn't afford to pay a lot of royalties, anything that ended up on the soundtrack was there partly due to the generosity of the artist. You will note the lack of the title song. Alice however was generous enough to make *two* songs affordable.
(Sickthing lady^v^adr, August 1996)
Alice took Linda Blair to a showing of 'The Exorcist' which was well reported at the time.
Alice has frequently mentioned Kubricks 'A Clockwork Orange' in interviews and used it as a reference point. He has worn T-shirts and jackets from the film and during 'Gutter Cats Vs the Jets', the 'Singing in the rain' lyric used live is a reference to a scene in the film.
Alice was in Los Angeles to tape a scene for an episode of the new sitcom "Pearl" which co-stars Malcolm McDowell of "A Clockwork Orange" fame. I got to speak to McDowell a little about some of the similarities between the film and Alice Cooper. He said he felt they were coincidental (although Stanley Kubrik who was the creative force behind the film may disagree). McDowell did go see Alice in concert on the 'Billion Dollar Babies' tour and said it was fantastic. He was also quite taken that Alice had worn the 'Clockwork Orange jacket on the 'Trash' tour.
(Renfield, December 1996)
During the 2003 'Bare Bones' tour, Ryan Roxie and Eric Dover played a guitar version of the films main title theme as an intro to 'Desperado'
The World According To Garp
When 'The World According To Garp' came out in the theaters, it prominently featured "Long Way to Go" in the scene where Garp ("Dirty thirty?") is giving the babysitter a ride, so to speak. However, when Garp was released on video, "Long Way to Go" had been replaced by what sounds like a Dave Edmunds song. Nevertheless, "A Long Way to Go" (sic) by Alice Cooper is one of only three--count 'em--songs listed in the credits, with the other two being the Beatles' "When I'm Sixty-Four" and Nat "King" Cole's "There Will Never Be Another You." "Long Way to Go," despite being a some what obscure album cut from eleven years' prior to the movie's release, fit perfectly with the storyline.
Why was it replaced?
I wasn't aware it had been replaced. It's possible there was a problem with the licensing ( ie. permission) to use it when it came out on tape. I think this is a pretty unusual practice. Often stuff is added to a video release but rarely replaced. If I get a chance, I 'll see if I can find out what the deal is.
(Renfield, July 1995)
In 1998, Alice was linked with the Tom Savini movie 'Vampirates'. However, nothing has so far come from this.

Detailed Accident Report
Submitted By: CAIC: Atkins
Place: Quandary Peak, Tenmile Range
State: CO
Country: USA
Fatalities: 1
Summary: 2 climbers caught, 1 buried, and killed
Quandary Peak, Tenmile Range
March 24, 2005
2 climbers caught, 1 buried, and killed
At about 1220 Thursday afternoon two climbers were caught in an avalanche on the south side of Quandary Peak. One man survived with only minor injuries while his friend was buried and killed. At 14,265 feet Quandary Peak is a popular "14er" for winter climbers and skiers. Located at the south end of the Tenmile Range the summit is about 6.5 miles SSW of Breckenridge.
The two climbers -- both male -- were friends via a church group. One man -- the survivor -- was from Omaha (NE) and the other from Colorado Springs. They left at about 0830 and arrived at the Blue Lakes Dam at about 1000 hours. They pair left their snow shoes at the dam, strapped on crampons and started up the Monte Cristo Couloir which hits the summit from the south.
The pair were climbing at very different speeds. The Omaha man was climbing much faster. He remembers looking back at about 13200 feet; where the slope is a bit less steep and saw his partner below him and about 30-40 minutes behind. He waved to him motioning that he was going to continue. At about 13800? he heard and felt a big ?whumph.? The slope fractured about 30 feet above him. He instantly turned around but could not see his friend below. In the next second or two he was swept from his feet and tumbled down the entire length of the couloir. He ended up at the very toe of the debris but on the surface.
He got to his feet and not seeing or hearing his friend he set out to get help. He did not have to travel far as he was soon able to notify rescuers -- 911 -- via his cell phone from just near the dam. At about 1240 Thursday afternoon the Summit County Sheriff's Office received the call of the avalanche accident. Neither man carried avalanche rescue gear.
Rescuers from the Summit County Rescue Group, Summit County Sheriff's Office, Flight for Life helicopter, Breckenridge Ski Patrol, Copper Mountain Ski Patrol, Keystone Ski Patrol, Alpine Rescue Team, and Red, White, and Blue Fire Department responded.
The buried man was found dead at 1630 hours by an avalanche rescue dog from the Breckenridge Ski Patrol. The victim was buried under 1.15 meters of debris.
The Avalanche
Initial reports have the avalanche as a HS-AF-2+-O. This hard slab avalanche was triggered by the climbers and though it released from a large search area -- over 600 feet across -- the avalanche was small relative to the avalanche path. Initial estimates have the fracture line at 1-2 feet deep, but we hope to visit the fracture line on Friday. (We may bump the size up if the slab is learned to be thicker.) The avalanche started at about 13,800 feet and fell to nearly 11,700 feet from a very wind-loaded (or wind-drifted) S aspect.
The CAIC Danger Rating
N mtns: ... "Front Range and Summit/Vail zones: near and above treeline on N-E-S-SW aspects the danger is CONSIDERABLE with pockets of HIGH in recently drifted lee areas. On other aspects and below treeline the danger is rated MODERATE with pockets of CONSIDERABLE on slopes steeper than 35 degrees."
At this time information is still limited but we will pass along new information as it becomes available.
Over the years Quandary Peak -- especially the south side -- has be the site of numerous avalanche and mountaineering accidents. On November 11, 2002 two climbers were caught and 1 was seriously injured when swept down the south side of the peak.
A lone backcountry skier was buried and killed on the south side of the peak on December 21, 1999.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
In an interview with Time.com, Miami Marlins manager and former World Series champion Ozzie Guillen was quoted as saying, among other things: "I love Fidel Castro."
Let's ignore for a moment that Guillen amended the statement to "I respect Fidel Castro." Let's ignore for a moment that Guillen apologized time and time again for his comments.
Let's even ignore, technically, that Guillen did not break any laws, cause anyone physical harm, or cheat the game of baseball.
Let's look at this for what it really is: an opinion that is best reserved for private – not public – conversations.
While what Guillen said was insensitive, inconsiderate, and inappropriate, this is not an Ozzie Guillen problem. Guillen should not have been suspended those five games without pay for an opinion. If Guillen made the same statement about an African dictator, or a Russian dictator, or a German dictator, the Marlins would barely even have noticed. The only reason this has become national news, and the only reason I am writing about this, is because Castro was a dictator in Cuba – and many residents of Miami are Cuban, and more generally Latino. This is not an Ozzie Guillen problem.
This is a Miami Marlins problem.
Just a few weeks ago, it was reported that Marlins President David Samson called the Miami taxpayers "stupid" for approving the construction of a new stadium for the team, alluding to the fact that the Marlins got away with what some might call highway robbery.
During the offseason, the Marlins gave obscene amounts of money to oft-injured Jose Reyes, pitcher Mark Buehrle, reliever Heath Bell, and the forever volatile Carlos Zambrano. They also made an offer to Albert Pujols that would set them back right around $200 million (an offer Pujols declined).
It was clear, even months ago, that the Miami Marlins are far more interested in filling their shiny new stadium with the "stupid" taxpayers who live there than they are with winning baseball games. Their off-season acquisitions, while impressive monetarily speaking, were impractical and unnecessary.
And then there was Guillen, a Latino manager hired in a town with a massive Latino population.
Guillen, a manager with a reputation for saying what he wants when he wants, did exactly what the baseball world expected him to do: put his foot in his mouth.
While the Marlins continue to act appalled at the Castro comments, their act is becoming more and more transparent. They knew the manager they hired was liable to say something inappropriate, they knew he was a lightning rod, and they knew he was anything but afraid to speak his mind regardless of the topic.
Now, Francis Suarez, Chairman of the Miami City Commission, has called for Guillen to lose his job. Suarez claims to be speaking in defense of the very same "stupid" citizens of Miami that he allowed the Marlins organization to rip off.
While Suarez looks to secure his favorable position with the citizens of Miami, the Marlins continue to promote the three ring circus that is their "professional" baseball team. It appears as if everything is going exactly to plan.
Are Guillen's Castro comments inappropriate? Yes. But are the Marlins going to lose any serious business because of it? No, and as a matter of fact, they haven't gotten this much national coverage since they won the World Series in 2003.
Are Guillen's Castro comments inappropriate? Yes. And Francis Suarez will continue to demand the Marlins take further action against Guillen because, well, it quite simply makes him look good to the Latino population of Miami.
The Marlins are in the news, and Miami's political figures have an unexpected platform. As both parties laugh all the way to the bank, Marlins fans (the ones everyone are "looking out for") are left to wonder whether or not the Marlins are really a team they can root for, or a team they should turn on.

Generally speaking, I find that adherence to the five precepts and the cultivation of wholesome deeds help to remove the five hindrances.
Such has been my experience, but here is a selection of text extracts on the hindrances and their conquest.
The Five Mental Hindrances and Their Conquest (Selected Texts from the Pali Canon and the Commentaries)
Compiled and translated by Nyanaponika Thera

does it happen even when they are present your mind start to wandering and become hard to control?
factors of steady mindfulness? 8 fold path? ok, but how do you try or try not to do in your daily life and sitting to prevent mind become agitated?
During meditation, or simply whilst sitting quietly, one can close one's eyes to block out outer distractions. Instead of attaching to or rejecting thoughts and emotions, one can learn to simply observe them as objects in space. Again, Ajahn Sumedho:
"We can see that mentally there are thoughts, emotions – the mental conditions – that arise and cease. Usually we are dazzled, repelled or just bound by the thoughts and emotions; we go from one thing to another – trying to get rid of them or reacting, controlling and manipulating them. So we never have any perspective in our lives, we just become obsessed with repression and indulgence; we are caught in those two extremes."
(Ajahn Sumedho, in the talk 'Noticing Space'.)
Ajahn Sumedho has also taught that this mental spaciousness can be cultivated deliberately using a simple thought like "I am". Before thinking "I am" we can notice the space in the mind, empty for something to occur in. Then the word "I" appears, followed by another gap. This space precedes the word "am", which itself ends in more space. With this practice, we can see that the thought "I am" is an object in spacious awareness, being born, existing, and then dying back into space. Even emotions that can accompany a thought like "I am" exist in the same space that exists before, during, and after they have arisen. In this way, we can develop a calm dispassion towards our thoughts, seeing them as ephemeral objects in space, coming and going. Over time, they will lose their power to entice us into identifying with them and creating suffering around them as a result.
Seeing thoughts and emotions as things in awareness, rather than as my thoughts and my emotions gives us what Ajahn Sumedho refers to above as perspective.
The commentators derive the Pali word jhana from a root meaning "to contemplate" and again from another root meaning "to burn up". Thus the jhanas are so called because they closely contemplate the object and because they burn up the adverse states opposed to concentration.[ i] These adverse states are the five hindrances (nivarana), of sensual desire, ill will, sloth and torpor, restlessness and worry, and doubt. The jhanas are attained by the method of meditation called the development of calm or serenity (samathabhavana). This type of meditation involves the strengthening of the faculty of concentration (Samadhi). By fixing the mind upon a single selected object, all mental distraction is eliminated. The hindrances are suppressed and the mind becomes fully absorbed in its object. The development of calm will be dealt with in detail later. (see IX s2-21)
The object of jhana-consciousness is a mental image called the counterpart sign (patibhaganimitta). This sign is considered a conceptual object (pannatti), but generally arises on the basis of a visible form, and hence these jhanas pertain to the fine-material sphere. The meditator aspiring to jhana may...
First Jhana wholesome consciousness: Each jhana is defined by way of a selection of mental concomitants called its jhana factors (jhananga). From among the many mental factors contained in each jhana consciousness, it is these that distinguish the specific jhana from the other jhanas and bring about the process of absorption. The first jhana contains five factors, as enumerated in the text. To attain the first jhana, these five factors must all be present in a balanced way, closely contemplating the object and "burning up" the five hindrances that obstruct absorption.
Initial application (vitakka): In the Suttas, the word vitakka is often used in the loose sense of thought, but in the Abhidhamma it is used in a precise technical sense to mean the mental factor that mounts or directs the mind onto the object.[ii] Just as a king's favourite might conduct a villager to the palace, even so vitakka directs the mind onto the object. In the practice of attaining jhana, vitakka has the special task of inhibiting the hindrance of sloth and torpor (thinamiddha).
Sustained application (vicara): The word vicara usually means examination. But here it signifies the sustained application f the mind on the object. Whereas vitakka is the directing of the mind and its concomitants towards the object, vicara is the continued exercise of the mind on the object. The Commentaris offer various similies to highlight the difference between these two jhana factors. Vitakka is like a bird's spreading out its wings to fly, vicara is like the bird's gliding through the air with outstretched wings. Vitakka is like a bee's diving towards a flower, vicara is like the bee's buzzing above the flower. Vitakka is like the hand that holds a tarnished metal dish, vicara is like the hand that wipes the dish[iii] . Vicara in the jhanas serves to temporarily inhibit the hindrance of doubt (vicikiccha).
Zest (piti): Piti, derived from the verb pinayati meaning "to refresh", may be explained as delight or pleasurable interest in the object. The term is often translated as rapture, a rendering which fits its role as a jhana factor but may not be wide enough to cover all its nuances[iv] . The commentators distinguished five grades of piti that arise when developing concentration: minor zest, momentary zest, showering zest, uplifting zest, and pervading zest. Minor zest is able to raise the hairs on the body. Momentary zest is like flashes of lightening. Showering zest beaks over the body again and again like waves on the sea shore. Uplifting zest can cause the body to levitate. And pervading zest pervades the whole body as an inundation fills a cavern. The latter is identified as the piti present in jhana[v]. As a factor of jhana, piti inhibits the hindrance of ill will (vyapada).
Happiness (sukkha): This jhana factor is a pleasant mental feeling. It is identical with somanassa, joy, and not with the sukkha of pleasant bodily feeling that accompanies wholesome-resultant body-consciousness. This sukha, also rendered as bliss, is born of detachment from sensual pleasures; it is therefore explained as niramisasukha, unworldly or spiritual happiness. It counters the hindrance of restlessness and worry (uddhaccajukucca).
Though piti and sukha are closely connected, they are distinguished in that piti is conative factor belonging to the aggregate of mental formations (sankharakkhandha). Piti is compared to the delight a weary traveller would experience when coming across an oasis, sukkha to his pleasure after bathing and drinking[vi].
One-pointedness (ekaggata): the Pali term means literally a one (eka) pointed (agga) state (ta). This mental factor is the primary component of all five jhanas and the essence of concentration (Samadhi). One-pointendness temporarily inhibits sensual desire, a necessary condition for any meditative attainment. Ekagatta exercises the function of closely contemplating the object, the salient characteristic of jhana, but it cannot perform this function alone. It requires the joint action of the other four jhana factors each performing its own special function: vitakka applying the associated states on the object, vicara sustaining them there, piti bringing delight in the object, and sukha experiencing happiness in the jhana.

iv In The Path of Purification, his translation of the Visuddhimagga, Bhikkhu Nanamoli has translated it as happiness. The rendering is often used for sukha, the next factor, and thus may lead to a confusion of the two.

Before thinking "I am" we can notice the space in the mind, empty for something to occur in. Then the word "I" appears, followed by another gap. This space precedes the word "am", which itself ends in more space.

The Incredible Hulk #601

It's been a difficult time for fans of the Hulk. The real Hulk, I mean. Over the last year, if you want to read about the Red Hulk, you could. If you wanted to read about Skaar, the son of Hulk, you could. But if you want to read about Bruce Banner, the original and best Hulk, you were out of luck.
Until now. Well, sort of. The re-launched "Incredible Hulk" series actually stars Skaar, the Green Hulk's son, but finally, Bruce Banner is back in a leading role, albeit as the co-star. He might be Hulk-less (for now) but let's be honest — that won't last forever. And more importantly, the book he's in is being written by Greg Pak, who previously built up quite a following with his "Planet Hulk"/"World War Hulk" epic.
So, suffice to say, this is a really enjoyable book for people who feel as though they've been missing out on their Hulk for the last 18 months. Pak instantly sets out to prove that Banner, Hulk-less though he may be, is still a dangerous individual simply because he's so smart — and better yet, without the Hulk to worry about, he's free to do what he wants.
And, luckily, what he wants to do is help out Skaar. Skaar himself is fairly indifferent to Banner's presence, but the logic — that if Skaar hangs around Banner long enough he'll get to fight the Hulk eventually — is impeccable. Banner agrees to train up Skaar, and so what we actually get is a sort-of skewed reflection of the Hulk's early premise, with Banner playing the role of Rick Jones, and Skaar as the new Hulk. Pak's comics work has never been as good as his Hulk issues, and that trend continues here. It's moody but intelligent, light on action but big on character interaction, the perfect counterpoint to Loeb's brash, garish "Hulk" title.
Ariel Olivetti's artwork helps the mood of the book. It's better during the conversational scenes, as the painted style struggles to convey much of a sense of movement, but Olivetti has a gift for expressions and detail that makes each panel worth poring over.
The issue also includes a 10-page installment of the "She-Hulk" backup strip, which features Lyra, the "new" She-Hulk. Personally, I find it hard to care about the character. The strip, which introduces no less than three female versions of existing Hulk villains, feels a little too obvious for me to enjoy it. That's not to say it's technically bad — Lyra fans will get all they want and more — but all things considered, I'd much prefer a Jen Walters backup strip.
Still, at least you are getting more for your money, and it's nice to have a Hulk book that I can truly enjoy back on the stands. Finally, the Hulk line feels like it's catering for all Hulk fans.

I started spraying my DP95 today and I'm still working on it, missing a few paints. Here's what I have done so far...
I don't mean to sound negative, but the pics are really fuzzy....Its hard to see what you're doing there;) Looks like you're having fun though:) If you can post some better pics, I bet you would get alot of advice/comments about your work. Of course, I completely understand if you are on a budget, and don't have the means to take better pics, (kinda in the same boat myself;) ) Hope your bucket turns out to your liking;)
what colors are you using?
Yea, I'm using a webcam for the pics cause I don't got a scanner and I don't got anything to hook up my digicam.
The colour's im using are rustoleum flat black, Colonial Red, natural denim, hunter green(for left ear), krylon almond for RF ear, and i need a few more.
Hey man, looks good. Do you have an idea of what your going to do for the armor and such yet?
Yea, I'm just going to look for reference photos of BH and spray paint it on, and the reason that there is black on the dome and the part under the cheeks is because i can't seem to find a green for it at homehardware and canadian tire(thats the only's i been to so far).Quote:

A Run On The Global Banking System – How Close Are We?
Wednesday, December 28th, 2011
Gonzalo Lira ZeroHedge.com 12/27/2011 Nine weeks after its bankruptcy, the general public still hasn't quite realized the implications of the MF Global scandal. My own sense is, this is the first tremor of the earthquake that's coming to the global financial system. And how the central banks and financial regulators treated the "Systemically Important... »

Follow the Trail of History
Learning about railroad history is fun!
The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania offers a wide range of education programs. The Railway Education Center is the center of a learning program for all ages. Learning may be accomplished by means ranging from casual visitation to structured programs. Scout and class group visits and distance learning are also available.
Many youngsters (and some adults too) think that Thomas the Tank represents the reality of railroading. Thomas has contributed greatly to a rekindling of interest in the subject, but railroading is so much more, and it is our challenge to tell the full story. Indeed, the story includes civil engineering triumphs, the geographic expansion of our nation, human and political drama, and the economic impact of an industry whose effects are often not realized.
Teaching Aids and History Education Resources
The web provides many excellent resources for teaching about historical subjects. The following include materials on our web site and others that should be helpful to teachers and students.
Railroading Merit Badge Program
Teaching is a central mission.

Onyx Jewelry
Like agate, onyx is a type of chalcedony, which is a cryptocrystalline quartz. The key difference between the two stones is that the characteristic bands we admire in agates are curved, while those in onyx are straight, usually alternating between black and white or brown and white.
Onyx is a favorite material for cameo makers, who will frequently carve into, say, a white layer until they've removed enough of it to reveal the black layer below. In this case, the result is a white image that appears to float on an inky background. Onyx is also cut into beads for necklaces, teardrops or geometric shapes for earrings, and bold cabochons for rings.
Also like agate, onyx is easy to dye. The recipe calls for boiling the stone in a sugar solution, then letting it steep in sulphuric acid. When the acid hits the sugar, black carbon is created, which seeps into the stone. This technique is used a lot because the demand for black onyx far outstrips the supply. In fact, dyed black onyx was used liberally during the Art Deco era, when dramatic contrasts and hard edges were all the rage.

NAGOYA – The Aichi Prefectural Police have launched a murder investigation into the deaths of three people Saturday in Nagoya after they were apparently attacked inside their home.
Sumio Hayakawa, 68, who runs a real estate business, was already dead when officers arrived at the scene. His 64-year-old wife, Noriko, and her mother, Shizue, 84, were later confirmed dead at a local hospital, according to the police.
The couple's 39-year-old daughter, who also lives at the house, remains unaccounted for and the police are urgently trying to determine her whereabouts.
According to the police, the husband appeared to have been beaten several times on the head, while his wife and mother-in-law are thought to have been strangled with a necktie.
Their son, 35, who resides nearby, found the three lying on the floor when he visited the home around 9:20 a.m., and immediately called the police.

Any trains coming into Canada, or going out of Canada had to be inspected by Canada Customs, from end to end. That meant my Dad, as the local rep for the railway had to accompany the Customs inspector as they "walked the train"
Go through the cab, then with one customs agent on one side of the train and one on the other, check every boxcar door to ensure it was sealed (travelling in bond, tin seals applied). Sometimes I was allowed to walk with them.
When we found a boxcar door was that unsealed, they would open the boxcar door and check the inside. It was a game on their part to toss me up into the car with instructions to check it all out and tell them what I found. Then they would hoist me back out and we'd go on to the next car, checking for door seals.
When we got to the end, we would climb up into the caboose and ride back. It was a real shock (the first time) to discover that the train would not be stopping to let us off, but we would jump onto the (wooden) station platform as the caboose rolled past at about 15-20 mph. The first time terrified me, but after that I was an "old hand" (at age 5 or so)
Now you have to remember that this was in a very tiny town of about 250 or 300 people, and in a valley. No TV service unless you built a humongous TV antenna on a huge tower. The hotel had one. Virtually no-one else did. (No guys, there was NO satellite dishes available. This was two or three years before Sputnik I.)
For a little kid, it was a matter of huge interest to watch the night passenger train arrive and depart. The huge Mountain Class 4-8-2 would bring the train (usually 2 baggage/mail cars, 2 day coaches, a "dinette", 2 sleepers and a full dining car) in around the curve just over a mile away, the engineer already shutting down from the high speed run.
The train would "ghost" into the station, the huge whitewall tires of the locomotive rolling past and gently stopping with the first sleeper beside the west end of the platform and the second baggage car near the east end. People would get off, people would get on. The mail was handed to the postmaster, fresh milk & eggs were handed to the grocer, newspapers were handed over to (whoever) etc.
About 5 minutes later the conductor would yell "Board" and wave a lantern. The engineer would begin venting huge clouds of steam through the steam chests and through the cylinders with all valves open. This is done to preheat the cylinders and purge any liquid water that would otherwise cause hydrolock and generally make for a bad day all around. Then the exhaust valves are closed down and the pressure of the steam begins to be exerted on the small pistons. As the piston completes its stroke it exhausts into the (much) bigger cylinder above it, using the steam twice (compound engine).
The steam is actually used a third time, as it is finally exhausted through the smokestack, drawing huge amounts of air with it. This air is drawn though the firebox, creating forced draft, and super-heating the fire, raising boiler pressures. (For any who may have wondered, that's why the "choo-choo" sound corresponds to puffs of smoke from the stack)
The engineer juggles power and traction (steel wheels on steel rails - not like racing slicks on asphalt!) and the sounds of occasional wheelspin are heard as the train pulls out, looking, from a distance, like a string of jewels as the lighted windows move through the night.
Diesels are more efficient, but they are just not the same. They are like a new, high-tech car. They do everything very well, but they have no soul.
Sometimes I was allowed to ride in the engine cab when switching was being done. The steam engines were living things, they had smells and sounds and heat and fire and dials and gauges and things that were moving. When I rode in the cab of a disease-el it was like riding in a bus. A loud engine sound and we moved. Period. May as well watch it on TV now.
The very earliest (oldest) steam engines had been coal burning ones. They had cleaned out their fire grates in the station yards , creating huge piles of cinders. My dad used cinders for our driveway, hauling them home in a trailer behind his '49 Chev. (I'll tell you about that trailer - which I now own - later in a separate thread)
By the time I was nine years old, the gargantuan, fire-breathing steam engines were gone, replaced by sleek disease-els that ran nearly an hour slower on a 150 mile route, but cost less to run and to operate and to maintain, and allowed many workers to be laid off.
At that time, my dad was transferred and we moved into the city.

Uncovered: 2014 Corvette Stingray Start-up Audio
Here's what the Stringray will play when you get in it.
April 29, 2013
By: Nick Saporito
At this point, there is little not known about Chevrolet's 2014 Corvette Stingray. We know what the car looks like, what powers it, and even which features and colors it will sport. Amongst the feature list is General Motors' next-generation infotainment system, which is based off of Cadillac CUE; meaning the Stingray will gleefully play an audio clip each time someone gets in the car, and GMI has uncovered that audio clip.
Today all Cadillac CUE vehicles play a tune upon entry. The tune matches to an animation that happens on both the center stack touchscreen and driver's information center. The combined effect give the Caddies a little bit of a starship flare. It is a small detail that GM appears to be adding to just about every vehicle that utilizes the CUE-based infotainment system, though every brand is getting a different clip.
Click here to listen to the Stingray's startup audio. It's worth noting that this was labeled as version one, so it may change a bit before production, though unlikely.
The 2014 Corvette Stingray will arrive in dealerships later this year, with a starting price of $51,995.

Another Bonnaroo Is In The Books!
For the most part, the weather cooperated for the 80,000 plus music fans at the annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester this past Thursday - Sunday. Hundreds of acts performed on dozens of stages over the event but most notable had to be Sunday night's closing set from Elton John. Here is some great amateur video from that performance.

Pigeon Feathers and Other Stories (original 1962; edition 1963)
by John Updike
Work details
Pigeon Feathers and Other Stories by John Updike (1962)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Not Updike's best collection but glad A&P was included, one of my favorites.
The Franklin Library, Pennsylvania, 1981. Full-Leather. Book Condition: Fine. Dacey, Bob (illustrator). Limited Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9¾" tall. Brown original publisher's leather binding; lettering in gilt on the spine; elaborate design in gilt on the front cover and on the spine; a.e.g.; four raised bands on the spine; brown moire end papers; hinges, book and binding are as new; sewn-in ribbon marker; a beautiful copy
Fine hardcover, full brown calf with four raised bands, gilt ornamentation and textblock, silk moir� endpapers, and ribbon page marker, 276 pages. Prior owner housed in a glass case in a smoke free environment, a fine, crisp, unread copy. Prior owners blind-stamp on flyleaf.
Pigeon Feathers is a collection of short stories about Love's shadow. By that I mean it is not about Love but about Love's side effects. Lust, longing, loss. It's a passionless book about passions.
I haven't read anything else by John Updike and this doesn't make me want to. He writes the way I'm afraid I will. Too many words, so carefully arranged to make an impact that you only notice the arrangement and never feel the impact. A gilded cardboard sledgehammer.
I have to admit I haven't finished it. I won't abandon it. I'll put it somewhere I can pick it up when I have a spare minute or two (and we all know where that is) and I will plough through the last four stories. It's not that it's a bad book, just that it isn't a good one.
This short collection of stories displays a realistic view of small town life that, presumably, Updike himself experienced. The title story, Pigeon Feathers, is especially moving in its portrayal of a young boy's crisis of faith. The experience of the reality of death has more import than the questions and answers obtained in the local sunday school.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0449912256, Paperback)When this classic collection of stories first appeared—in 1962, on the author's thirtieth birthday—Arthur Mizener wrote in The New York Times Book Review: "Updike is a romantic [and] like all American romantics, that is, he has an irresistible impulse to go in memory home again in order to find himself. . . . The precise recollection of his own family-love, parental and marital, is vital to him; it is the matter in which the saving truth is incarnate. . . . Pigeon Feathers is not just a book of very brilliant short stories; it is a demonstration of how the most gifted writer of his generation is coming to maturity; it shows us that Mr. Updike's fine verbal talent is no longer pirouetting, however gracefully, out of a simple delight in motion, but is beginning to serve his deepest insight."

text: It feels like it's been ages since a major game company reported a break in from a gang of keyboard-wielding malcontents – and for Star Trek Online and Neverwinter developer Cryptic, it actually has been ages. Well, not actual ages. There were no lances, moats, or trebuchets involved (to my knowledge), but today – in the Neo Future Space Year 2012 – Cryptic cautioned users about an "unauthorized access" from December 2010. And while that certainly spooks an entire flock of northward-migrating eyebrows from their cozy forehead nests, there are more immediate concerns at hand. The short version: while Cryptic has "no evidence" that anything beyond usernames and encrypted passwords were taken, you should still change your password and keep a close eye on credit card info.

The movie might not be hitting UK cinemas until November, but the build up has already begun. Not that the filmmakers have given us very much to go on in this teaser trailer. In fact, the 48-second video (much like Disney's new Cinderella teaser) doesn't give us a single glimpse of Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss, or any of the new faces joining the franchise for this instalment. It does give us a good long look at the flame-covered logo for the upcoming movie though, which features Katniss' Mockingjay pin in all its fiery glory. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 is in UK cinemas 21 November. Follow @RadioTimes Like this? Share it. Facebook Twitter Google Tumblr Pinterest Blogger Reddit VKontakt Print Email

The prolific media psychiatrist Raj Persaud is fighting to retain his professional dignity this week as the General Medical Council investigates him over accusations of plagiarism.
Having first gained prominence as a TV shrink on Richard and Judy's sofa, he now finds himself on a less comfortable metaphorical couch, as his motivations are analysed by a nation of armchair psychologists: just what was he playing at?
Even the man whose work he plagiarised admits to finding Persaud's motivations "baffling". Professor Richard Bentall, a specialist in clinical psychology, veers between believing that "wilful cheating" and "extreme stupidity" are to blame.
Without actually analysing Persaud, it is hard to be sure what lay behind what could be his self-destruction. He says stress played a part, and he admits to facing multiple tough deadlines. Perhaps some degree of narcissism was also at play. In moderation, of course, this can prove a healthy spur to achievement, but Persaud would not be the first doctor to suffer from a little too much of it. If one's self-belief is too great, the views and considerations
of others can be too easily pushed aside.
One also cannot help wondering if the blatancy of his misdemeanours masks an unconscious desire to be caught out. Is he setting himself up for a punishment for some other crime that we - and maybe even he - are unaware of?
I suspect, though, that the main motivation for his "serious errors", as he describes them, is more benign. The clue comes when he says his goal was to "let the public know what was going on in the world of psychiatry". However much the desire for fame and money was a supplementary factor, Persaud saw himself primarily as a man with a mission - often a dangerous thing. I suspect that deep down he didn't think that anyone would really mind if he cut a few corners - it was, after all, for the greater good.
While there is no doubt that what he did was completely wrong, and that in the process he has damaged his own reputation, and that of his profession, we should still recognise his very real achievements in opening up the world of psychiatry and mental health to the public.
Persaud has unwittingly shown us psychiatry's greatest and most disturbing truth: that no matter how expert we think we are on the human mind, we
all remain in danger from its darker aspects.

- *Luvena*
Jan 10, 2012 - After hoping to get an appointment with Luvena at her old salon and finding out she wasn't there, I was thrilled when I found out she opened up her own salon. First off, it is located on the most charming little street in New Haven. When I walked in, Luvena and her sister were so friendly and easy to talk to. This was the first cut in a very long time that I really loved. She explained how to style and the price was so reasonable. I will definitely be back, along with my curly-haired son.

The Patriots haven't lost too many regular-season games in the past year or two, but they sure know how to piece together a clunker whenever they fail to win.
For the second time in three games, the Patriots got blown out by a substantial margin, this time suffering a 30-10 loss Sunday to the slumping San Diego Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium.
Three weeks after getting walloped at home by Miami's gimmick offense, the Patriots were beaten by a much simpler attack Sunday -- long, deep passes against one-on-one coverage.
Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers completed three touchdown passes, highlighting an awful effort by a struggling secondary that appeared to have found its niche early in September.
"We expected those type of big plays," cornerback Ellis Hobbs said. "We had some good moments, but we just had too many low moments."
The good moments were hard to find. Deltha O'Neal and Terrence Wheatley were beaten in coverage, and the safeties offered limited resistance down the field. The Patriots knew they'd have problems replacing Asante Samuel, but they certainly didn't expect to get picked apart at the rate they did Sunday in San Diego.
Rivers had his way with New England's secondary, completing 18 of 27 passes for 306 yards. The Patriots' vaunted pass rush, which is supposed to be the strength of this team, failed to hit him once, as the quarterback, in his own words, was "clean all night."
"The big plays kill you in the National Football League," safety Rodney Harrison said. "You can't recover when you give up 40-yard, 50-yard (and) 60-yard bombs."
Following their second blowout loss, it's back to the drawing board for the Patriots as they prepare for another potential aerial assault with the Denver Broncos coming to town.
"We just have to cover better," Harrison said. "It comes down to one man making a play against another man. It's about us making plays, and they did a better job than us."
