For many Black men, shaving is an ordeal (Part One)
ABOVE PHOTO: Man with razor bumps, which can discolor and disfigure the face.
By Frederick Lowe
Gregory Cooper, a slender 26-year-old, sometimes wears a scraggly beard that detracts from his good looks because he can't shave every day.
When he does shave with a blade, his face becomes inflamed with razor bumps caused by his naturally curly hair becoming imbedded in his face.
"Eight hours after shaving with a razor blade, my face breaks out in whiteheads," he says.
Whiteheads are a form of acne filled with sebum and discarded skin cells that are capped and white in appearance.
Twice, his razor bumps became so severe that he was taken to a hospital emergency room because his lips had become infected and swollen.
"I let my beard grow out rather than messing up my face," Cooper explains. Instead of shaving himself, he lets his barber do the job with hair clippers, not with a blade or razor. His barber trims his Mohawk-style haircut with clippers and uses the same instrument to trim Cooper's beard every two weeks.
Razor bumps can discolor as well as disfigure Black men's faces, affecting their self-image. Cooper's dislike of shaving is common among Black men who dread razor bumps.
"I never let a razor touch my face," said Kelvin Johnson, who is 24 and grows a beard until he visits a barber who shaves his beard with hair clippers. "Clippers don't break me out."
Like Cooper, Johnson also does not like to shave with a blade or a razor.
"I started shaving when I was 16, and razor bumps broke out on my neck," he said, raising his chin so they could be seen."
Not everyone relies on barbers and their clippers. Richard Lewis, a 49 year-old Chicago hairstylist, said clippers don't provide a tight enough shave.
"It's not baby smooth," said Lewis, who wears a short, neat beard but uses a blade and sometimes a straight razor to shave after making elaborate preparations to ready his beard for shaving. Lewis points out that Black men must shave following their hair's growth pattern.
Shaving in Black and White
Television commercials portray the manly art of shaving as a refreshing and simple morning exercise that dispatches hair stubble with a few strokes of a razor before the man splashes on Aqua Velva after shave. The man's wife then draws the palm of her hand across his smooth face, exclaiming over its softness. But for most Black men this never happens.
Razor or blade shaving works for White men and other men who have straight hair. But for black men with curly hair, shaving with a razor or a blade is an ordeal that can lead to the face being disfigured by razor bumps and skin discoloration, both of which can affect black men's appearance, self-image and self-esteem.
"Historically, razor bumps remain a significant problem for Black men. Certainly, most Black men have razor bumps, but not all," explained Dr. Charles E. Crutchfield, III, owner of Crutchfield Dermatology, an Eagan, Minn.-based practice that treats African-American men for razor bumps. Dr. Crutchfield is also a clinical professor of dermatology at the University of Minnesota Medical School.
The Journal of the National Medical Association published a study by a Black physicians group in 1974 titled, Pseudofolliculitis barbae in the Military. Pseudofolliculitis barbae, first described in 1956, is the medical term for razor bumps.
Razor bumps are more common and more severe among African-American men, reported the journal article, which was written by Major Alvin M. Alexander, M.D., chief of Dermatology Service at the U.S. Army Medical Center in Okinawa, Japan, and Walter I. Delph, M.D., a physician at Montefiore Hospital in New York City.
There are two causes of razor bumps, explained Dr. Crutchfield. "One is called extrafollicular penetration and other is called transfollicular penetration. Because Black men tend to have curly hair, the hair curls back into the skin after shaving, causing inflammation. The inflammation can look like pimples. The hair follicles can also become infected."
Razor bumps can be physically disfiguring, and they can affect Black men's psychological well-being, Dr. Crutchfield said.
Dr. Crutchfield said he sees patients on a regular basis with razor bumps.
"Their skin is irritated, painful, inflamed and discolored," he explains. "All of these things together can cause frustration and lower self-esteem."
Johnson, who lives in Evanston, Ill., adds that many Black men are so self-conscious about their razor bumps that they don't apply for jobs because they are concerned about how they will be perceived.

But after the deadline expired Wednesday, there were reports from some of Morsy's supporters that a coup was under way. The state-run newspaper Al-Ahram, citing an unnamed presidential source, reported that Morsy was told by 7 p.m. (1 p.m. ET) "that he is no longer a president for the republic."
4. What's the U.S. stance?
President Barack Obama spoke with Morsy this week and reiterated that the United States doesn't support a particular party or movement in Egypt, a U.S. statement said. Obama "stressed that democracy is about more than elections."
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki denied, however, that Obama urged Morsy to hold early elections.
Senior administration officials told CNN that a military coup would trigger U.S. legislation that calls for cutting off all American aid to Egypt. Psaki confirmed there were conditions on aid, but said "that's way ahead of where we are in the process."
Zakaria said many Egyptians are suspicious of American intentions and influence.
"At some level, no matter what the United States does, it gets blamed," he wrote on the Global Public Square blog. "For decades, it was blamed for supporting the military -- it was blamed for that even a year or two ago. Now the claim is that they're too pro-President Morsy."
5. What's next for the Muslim Brotherhood and for Egypt?
Morsy's removal offers no guarantee that the protests and violence will stop. It might even get worse.
The Muslim Brotherhood still has significant support in the country, and those supporters could lash out.
Zakaria called Morsy's removal "a fairly dangerous move."
The Brotherhood was "able to survive and flourish through five or six decades of complete persecution and an outright ban on their activities," he said, "so they're not going to go anywhere.
"They will be very passionate about trying to push back on this, and that suggests the tensions in Egypt are likely to get a lot worse before they get better."
Long-term, many fear this could set a dangerous precedent. It could also create more instability, Husain said, for a country that depends on tourists and international investment for economic prosperity.
"Hopes were raised," he said, "but now the democratic dream is coming apart before our eyes. ... Is it too late to save Egypt's democracy?"

Finally, a extra deep pocket sheet that actually fits my thick mattress with a featherbed on top and still had lots of room. The quality of these sheets is excellent. These are a heavy, soft sheet, very large so have lots of room. They do recommend washing in cold water but with the size of these sheets I don't see how they could shrink so much in hot water that you couldn't use them. They have a thick elastic band around them and are made to actually fit the corners. I plan to order another set. I see where these sheets are well over *** & I can see why. The feel is amazing. They are a thick, soft, luxurious sheet, heavier than most so might take some people time to get used to that. But these sheets will last for years where other, cheaper sheets wear out. Also high thread count sheets get softer with age.
I have the fattest bed known to man/woman kind. I have added layer on top of layer and we call it "the cloud bed." BUT try to find a sheet that fits all of this! I HAVE FOUND IT, AND IT IS THIS SHEET. No matter how fat you think your bed is, and no other sheets fit.... THIS ONE does! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeea! and great texture and all that. LOVE LOVE LOVE this sheet set.
I have never spent this much on a pair of sheets, but I read the reviews & thought I would take a chance. Well, I want be buying another set. For the price I spent, I expected these sheets to be much more comfy. They do have extra deep pockets, which my sheets do stay on. I washed them as soon as I got them, and they started to get those fuzzy balls on them. Which I was NOT happy with. Went by instructions too. The sheets are comfy, but not $$$ worth comfy. Disappointed BAD with this purchase. If you need the extra deep pockets, then they are ok to buy, I just expected alot more softness & much more elagance feel to them. They are much better than Walmart's sheets. Just think before you spend this kind of money. Oh yeah, they are very thick sheets. Gonna buy another sheet somewhere else & save these for Fall & Winter sheets, do to thickness.
After one washing ths seems on one of the deep pockets is beginning to separate and one of the seems on the flat sheet is fraying. Do not recommend!
When you pay for expensive sheets, you expect high quality. I have purchased eqyptian cotton sheets before and these are not egyptian cotton. My sheets I purchased before were so thick wrinkling was not an issue. These are thin. Not thin like regular sheets, but not thick like you would expect.
I have a hard time getting good sheets to fit my deep mattress. These are plenty deep enough - too deep, in fact, and I've never seen a mattress as deep as mine. At first they were comfy and soft. However, they did begin to pill after the first washing - a huge disappointment.
Really nice quality sheets for the money, great value and nice color options.
These are heaven to sleep in, but the deep pocket was not deep enough, and I had to remake it in one corner each morning. I'm giving them to a friend for Christmas. I hate giving them up because they were SO SOFT!!!
I ordered the light blue sheets even though I was looking for sheets that are closer to a blue jean color. They arrived and are a nice light blue color that looks wonderful with our duvet set. I actually prefer them over my second set of blue jean color sheets made by another brand. Highly recommend.
I love these sheets! I purchased the blue color and whenever I catch a glimpse of it, I feel calm. The sheets are very soft and comfortable. Additionally, they are cool, but not cold. I live in Ohio and it's gotten cold here, but I'll still use these sheets. I didn't give 5 stars because I've only slept on them for a week, so it's hard to say 5.

It is encompassed by Thai Nguyen to the north, Vinh Phuc and Ha Tay provinces to the west and south, Bac Giang, Bac Ninh and Hung Yen provinces to the east and south-east. Hanoi means "the hinterland between the rivers" (Ha: river, Noi: interior). Hanoi's territory is washed by the Red River (the portion of the Red River embracing Hanoi is approximately 40km long) and its tributaries, but there are some other rivers flowing through the capital, including Duong, Cau, Ca Lo, Day, Nhue, Tich, To Lich and Kim Nguu.
Throughout the thousand years of its eventful history, marked by destruction, wars and natural calamities, Hanoi still preserves many ancient architectural works including the Old Quarter and over 600 pagodas and temples. Famous sites include the One Pillar Pagoda (built in 1049), the Temple of Literature (built in 1070), Hanoi Citadel, Hanoi Opera House, President Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum...

Libor Crime Probe in U.K. Starts as U.S. Readies Indictments By Greg Farrell and Lindsay Fortado San Francisco Chronicle July 27, 2012
Excerpt: U.S. prosecutors have been criticized for failing to bring any "meaningful" cases against individuals stemming from the financial crisis, said Michael Perino, a law professor at St. John's University in New York.
"A lot of what led to the financial crisis was reckless behavior that might not have been criminal," Perino said. "There is this remaining pent-up anger that a different set of rules seems to apply to banks and Wall Street."

Bushings are available in increments of .001" from .185" through .199" and .218" through .343". The easiest way to tell the bushing size needed is to measure your loaded rounds at the neck. This caliper or micrometer reading indicates bullet diameter plus twice the thickness of the neck. The bushing diameter must measure less than this, we suggest .002" to .003" smaller. Taking into account the spring-back of the case neck after sizing, this would give you .001" to .002" "grip" on the bullet.View other sizes: .185" to .252" .303" to .369" Mfg: L.E. Wilson, Inc.

Myron B. Pitts
The campaign between President Obama and Mitt Romney has been long and tough, and I suspect most Americans will be glad it ends sometime tomorrow after the returns come in.
But there's a positive aspect to this story that has been overlooked.
We have as our parties' standard-bearers a black man and a Mormon - two candidates from groups that historically have been oppressed in this country. And what's more important, neither Obama's race nor Romney's religion defined the men or the campaign, or 90 percent of the commentary about the campaign. They are simply two candidates running against each other, one to keep the seat of the nation's highest office, the other to unseat him.
This is historic, and I think it should be noted.
I wish I could shower the whole affair with only roses, but not quite.
I have found it admirable and appropriate that the media and political opponents have shied away from attacking Romney because he is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints. His religion has no bearing on what kind of a leader he'd make, at least no negative bearing, that I can see.
Mormons nationwide have enthusiastically responded to Romney's candidacy, with 84 percent saying they will vote for him, according to Gallup polling done in June; the number is likely higher now.
In Utah, which has a heavy Mormon population, support for Romney is expected to bring up to 80 percent of registered voters out to the polls - a phenomenon officials there call the "Romney tsunami."
All this is fine and good.
But I can't help notice a double standard, when it comes to coverage of this enthusiasm.
For one, Mormon support of Romney is hardly covered at all, even though it might have an impact in western states such as Nevada, Arizona and Colorado.
For two, when blacks showed the same kind of enthusiasm for Obama in 2008 and this year, there have been people from the political peanut gallery quick to rush in and suggest, or say right out, that blacks support Obama "only" because he is black.
A couple of weeks ago, Romney adviser John Sununu played the latest rendition of this sorry game after Gen. Colin Powell, a Republican who endorsed Obama in 2008, decided to renew his endorsement this time.
Powell is a respected former secretary of state under President Bush and a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who gave out his reasons clearly for endorsing the president.
But Powell also happens to be black, so Sununu felt he had license to speculate on another reason. He told CNN: "Frankly, when you take a look at Colin Powell, you have to wonder whether that's an endorsement based on issues or whether he's got a slightly different reason for preferring President Obama. ... I think when you have somebody of your own race that you're proud of being president of the United States, I applaud Colin for standing with him."
Maybe Sununu feels exactly the same way about Mormons who back Romney - that they are not engaging their brains, just choosing based on religion. But he hasn't said anything like that, even though, as a top Romney surrogate, he would know the Mormon polling numbers.
He would know, as well, that Mormons tend to vote Republican for the top of the ticket, whoever the candidate is. In 2008, 75 percent of Mormons cast their votes for Sen. John McCain, and Utah remains overwhelmingly Republican in local, state and congressional districts.
What Romney did was super-charge the Mormon vote, adding an additional 9 percent support.
Thing is, the voting patterns of black Americans are similarly one-sided, just on the Democratic side. Like with Mormons, it's more about party than culture, and for those who say blacks support only black candidates, test the theory: Run Herman Cain on the GOP ticket in 2016 and see what kind of support he gets among blacks.
In 2004, 88 percent of blacks voted for Sen. John Kerry.
Four years later, Obama super-charged that to 95 percent support. Note, however, that he had a smaller percent increase of black voters than Romney had with Mormon voters.
Yet, I have seen many fewer stories - which is to say no stories - questioning whether Mormons are "only" supporting the former Massachusetts governor because they share his religious beliefs.
That's a good thing, because the reality is more complex than that glib assessment, and the same applies to blacks. When someone from a group that was once at or near the bottom of American society has a chance at the very top rung - the highest office in the land - it is only natural that others in that group become excited. It is utterly unsurprising that such excitement can spur people to the polls, even those who might not have voted otherwise.
American Catholics were thrilled with Kennedy's run in 1960, and many women fervently supported Hillary Clinton during her primary race against Obama in 2008. The same will be the case when we have our first Latino or Asian-American major-party candidate.
I find no particular reason blacks should be singled out more than anyone else - although I fully recognize much of the scorn is based on the fact that blacks, the second-largest minority, have sufficient numbers to make a big impact on elections.
I support recognizing cultural milestones in this country for what they are, instead of making something racial and unwholesome out of them just for short-term political gain.

Joe Grant's Grand Reunion
Ten years ago, Arc'athlete Joe Grant came to Réunion, a small island east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean, to work with a small organization that built primary schools. His host family told him about the Grand Raid, a 162km race that crosses the island, with 9,000m of combined climbing along the way.
At the time, Joe didn't know much about long distance running, and had no idea that he'd go on to become a world-class ultramarathon runner, but he promised that one day he'd come back for the race, and this week, he's doing just that, coinciding with the Grand Raid's twentieth anniversary. Check out his great blog post of breathtaking photos from the recon hike he did along the entire route.
Have a great race Joe!

The work's relatively spare and rootsy overall – a great example of Chicago blues in its formative years, with some traces of a more southern style still in the mix – and titles include "Hoochie Coochie Man", "I'm Ready", "Rollin Stone", "Honey Bee", "She Moves Me", "I Can't Be Satisfied", "Standing Around Crying", "Long Distance Call", and "I Just Want To Make Love To You".

Bishop Richard Malone, leader of the Western New York Roman Catholic Diocese will ordain a married priest this weekend.
The Reverend John Cornelius will be ordained Saturday in Wellsville.
Pope Benedict, last year, directed that married former priests from the Episcopal and Anglican churches can become Catholic priests.
Reverend Cornelius is a former Anglican priest. He and his wife have three children.
To prepare for the priesthood, the married father of three spent every Saturday for 20 weeks taking a distance learning course from the University of Houston.
Following his ordination, he will lead the Fellowship of Saint Alban in Henrietta (Diocese of Rochester), a small community of former Anglicans who have joined the Catholic Church. When available, he will also assist with ministry at parishes in Allegany County, according to a statement from the Buffalo Diocese.
From The Fellowship of St. Alban,
Cornelius's Order of "Catholics of Anglican Heritage
Here's his biography and photo:
Born and bred in Bolivar, New York, Fr. Cornelius went to Allegany College, SUNY at Fredonia, then into the U.S. Navy. After receiving his Masters of Divinity degree from the Episcopal Seminary at Northwestern University, he served as an Episcopal priest for 20 some years in Florida, New York State, Rhode Island and Texas. Following his reception into the Catholic Church with his wife Sharyl, he is currently serving as a pastoral associate at Ss. Brendan and Jude church in Almond, NY.

Russell Means was no hero; he was a bully, intimidating and assaulting his way to fame and fortune, often at the expense of his fellow Indians. Means faced serious allegations of rape (Looking Back Woman) and murder (Anna Mae Pictou Aquash, Leo Wilcox, Martin Mountileaux, Jamie Bordenkircher) among other crimes he got away with, partly due to fawning press coverage such as found at Native News Network. Means went to his grave a troubled man, taking many dark secrets with him. He evidently knew where the body of slain civil rights activist Ray Robinson was buried, near the Wounded Knee village ruins, but he lacked the courage to come clean; he choose tormenting the Robinson family over Indian tradition. With the help of Senator James Abourezk's legal advice, Means fooled many people into believing he was the victim who just happen to be near the bodies. Despite a legacy of betrayal and violence, Russell Means' singular accomplishment, skirting the law, leaves Indian Country to deal with his non-Indian dupes and their need to distort history.
"Second Honoring: The Life of Russell Means" Celebration on 40th Anniversary of Wounded Knee Occupation
On Wednesday, February 27, the family of Russell Means will hold a celebration on Pine Ridge to honor the life of Oglala activitst Russell Means. The date coincides with the 40th anniversary of the start of the 1973 occupation of Wounded Knee by the American Indian Movement, led by Means.
The event will be held at Pine Ridge School in the old gymnasium, west of campus, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Doors open at 4:00 p.m. The honoring will highlight Means's life, leadership and the "eternal fire that he re-ignited throughout Indian country," reported Native News Network. Dinner will be served at the Pine Ridge School Cafeteria at 5:00 p.m. The honoring service will begin at 6:00 pm. The event will include guest speakers, including relatives, Wounded Knee veterans and visiting dignitaries.
Chris Eagle Hawk, Oglala Lakota, will be the Eyapaha (announcer), and the Creekside Singers as the honor drum. Scotti Clifford, Oglala Lakota, of Scatter Their Own will perform an honor song. The Means family is sponsoring a traditional giveaway at this honoring.
Means walked on October 22, 2012, at his home and ranch in Porcupine, South Dakota.
For further details on the event, click here.
You state 'Means faced
You state 'Means faced serious allegations of rape' by S Dupree. He did not, she never brought charges and apparently only raised the alleged rape in very recent years. There are of course 2 completely different versions of the allegation made by her, set in different locations. This is not usual for a rape victim. You refer to murder - there is no evidence he was linked to Anna Mae Aquash's murder. Recently you have admitted that you knew he was in prison in California at the time Ray Robinson was said to have been at Wounded Knee. That hasn't prevented accusations in the past being made against Russell Means for involvement in that murder. He was acquitted in the M Mountileaux case and no charges brought in other cases, or evidence produced to link him. It would be good if you could keep your malicious vendettas away from native news site, I would think.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay says he's worried that a bill moving in the state Legislature would prevent the banning of guns from Lucas Oil Stadium during the team's games.
A bill sponsor, however, says the legislation that prevents most gun bans by local governments doesn't stop a sports team from setting its own attendance rules.
Irsay says the Colts rely on the city agency that owns the stadium to enforce the team's weapons ban. Colts attorney Dan Emerson said the bill's provisions would prevent a city agency from doing that.
Republican Sen. Brent Steele of Bedford tells WTHR-TV that by purchasing a game ticket, a fan agrees to abide by the team's rules. The bill has been approved by the state Senate and is pending with the House.

Garner in particular became very emotional when discussing how her kids are harassed by photographers. Full Story
Cyrus Family Portrait
Kevin Winter/ Jason Merritt/ Getty
What does this one look like to you? Let's not forget that Miley was calling out her dad on Twitter as recently as earlier this summer. And that nothing happens in a bubble, especially online. And that Noah Cyrus, age 13 and two thirds has been purportedly wanting a showbiz career for a long time, though it's never really come together for her. Full Story
Do Beliebers Read?
I went on Amazon to check if there was a "books by parents of celebrities" section – no dice. But really there could be: Jaid Barrymore (mom of Drew), Lynne Spears (mom of Britney), Debbie Nelson (mom of Eminem), Nancy Aniston (mom of Jennifer) and Kit Culkin (father of Macaulay). Full Story
Willow Smith's English accent summer fling
I am officially an old crusty c-nt. Because …I mean… I can't with this. Can.NOT. How do we do when we're dealing with a 12 year old? No one wants to be unkind to a 12 year old. Not even Alec Baldwin? OK, maybe Alec Baldwin. But most of us don't want to be unkind to a 12 year old. Full Story
Courtney and Frances Forever
Fortunata/ Splash
The Smiths are getting a lot of attention this week, particularly for the, um, curious Vulture interview -- click here if you missed Duana's post on it. Patterns and Joe Kennedy? Child's play compared to the cray cray that is Courtney Love. Full Story
Will and Jaden like patterns
(Last night I emailed Duana about the Will & Jaden Smith Vulture interview. I heard from her an hour later: OH MY GOD. Like I'm not even through it and I only woke up because Libby barked and I checked email on phone and could not even get through it before I had to put it down to email you. Full Story
Ok, Jaden
Christopher Polk/ Getty
It's really hard to write about Jaden Smith. Here he is in Cancun, doing press for After Earth, the movie he made with his dad Will. Jaden is 14 and it's obviously not fair to judge Very Young Hollywood by the same standards I feel so completely free to judge Adult Hollywood. He's a kid. Full Story
Porny props up her baby
Jamie McCarthy/ Getty
Jessica and Ashlee Simpson were in North Carolina this weekend promoting Porny's clothing line. Apparently some of that is maternity now? At some point during the event, Porny propped her kid up on the table for photographs. We can all agree this is a business engagement, right? So... I mean. Full Story
Justin Bieber's not pouty in Spain
FameFlynet, Chroma Press/ Splash
Justin Bieber is now in Spain. He performed in Madrid last night. This is a different face than the one we saw for a couple of weeks in England where he celebrated his 19th birthday by taking his shirt off, arguing with club owners over age restrictions, collapsing on stage, shouting at people over Twitter, and threatening to f-ck up the paps while being lifted out of his car seat by his babyguard. Full Story
You must Believe...and then Delete
Textbook. Again. The exceptions are the ones who DON'T f-ck up, remember. And there are fewer and fewer and fewer of them. Then again, it depends on your definition of f-cking up. If they're millionaires many times over, that may not qualify as a f-ck up, at least not yet. By Justin Bieber's standards, being rich means he's not a mess. Full Story

Prince Michael, correspondent
REHAB /bauergriffinonline
The first son of the late Michael Jackson, Prince Michael, is now a correspondent for Entertainment Tonight. He's 16 years old. His first interview will be with the cast of Oz: The Great And Powerful. For Entertainment Tonight, it's an obvious stunt-hire. And, well, it's gross, non? Is the primary intention here really to learn what it takes to be a "producer, director, screenwriter, and actor"? Or is it so that they can help us rubberneck? Do you care what he asks James Franco? Or are you scrutinising him as he's asking James Franco whatever it is that he's asking James Franco? And besides, you don't need to have experience in broadcasting to know -- most interns start as proper interns, the best way to understanding how a newsroom works: transcribing, running tapes, setting time codes, helping out with edits, running cable, the smaller jobs prepare you for the bigger jobs.

The Day of (a Mother's) Love
It was quite a tame Valentine's Day, celebrity-wise. Jessica took Jackpot Johnson out for a spin, Goop showed us the joy of cooking for one and apparently Brad gifted Angie with breath mints. So when in doubt, turn to the mothers. Vanessa Minnillo shared a page from her private family diary with PEOPLE. Full Story

Once just a village that settled on the "Ile de la Cite" (City Island) on the confluence of the Seine's two branches, Paris has vastly expanded over the centuries, taking the surrounding villages under its wing and making them its own. Nowadays the City of Light—a name Paris earned during the age of the Enlightenment—is made up of several arrondissements or districts, numbered from one to 20 and logically ordered with the 1st in the center and the others following in a clockwise spiral. The differences are vast and varied between the districts, both in terms of the populations and attractions, which together make up the multifaceted city we know and love.
1st Arrondissement
With its impressive collection of paintings and sculptures, the Louvre attracts visitors from the world over, who often combine it with a stroll in the adjoining Tuileries gardens. Designers of haute couture, including Yves St-Laurent and Dior, have set up shop in Faubourg Saint-Honore , just a short walk from the majestic Place Vendôme , home to some of the finest jewelers in Paris. If luxury seems to be the prevailing feature in the 1st arrondissement, it has also lovingly accepted the Forum des Halles , the city's largest shopping center.
2nd Arrondissement
With its little back streets harboring galleries, cafes and boutiques, this district sets a typically Parisian scene. West of Rue Richelieu stands the theater district where a dozen or so playhouses throng. The Palais Brongniart reminds by-passers of what used to be the location of Paris' vibrant stock market, while certain clothing factories in the Sentier district are now home to Internet companies.
3rd Arrondissement
The Marais district prides itself on being one of the oldest and best preserved in Paris. In keeping with this yearning for yesteryear, a museum charting the history of the capital ( Musee Carnavalet ) can also be found here. Scattered with trendy bars, cafes and stylish boutiques, the Marais has also become the Mecca of gay nightlife in Paris.
4th Arrondissement
Undoubtedly one of the most picturesque districts. Wander across the bridge opposite the Hôtel de Ville (town hall) and you will drift onto the capital's two islands—Île de la Cite and Île Saint-Louis—where a visit to the stunning Notre-Dame Cathedral is an absolute must. Back on the right bank, Place des Vosges , a beautiful old square lined with ancient buildings, is a wonderful witness to times gone by.
5th Arrondissement
This and the adjoining 6th arrondissement comprise the Quartier latin (Latin Quarter), a bastion of student life and higher education in Paris. Within a 100-meter (328-foot) radius around the Pantheon you'll find some of the most prestigious schools and universities in all of France. The Jardin des Plantes , Paris' botanical gardens and zoo, is at once a calm and exotic place, and the Arènes de Lutèce (remains of a Roman amphitheater) remind us just how rich the history of Paris really is. You'll find the Musee National du Moyen-Âge in Cluny Square. As picturesque as you could possibly imagine, the quaysides double as an enthralling treasure trove of second-hand bookstalls. Come nightfall, the young crowds flock to Place de la Contrescarpe and Rue Mouffetard .
6th Arrondissement
Rue de Seine, de Buci, Mazarine and Dauphine, along with the whole area between Boulevard St-Germain and the river Seine itself, are wholeheartedly characteristic of the allure of Paris. Discover the little cafes and boutiques of the chic-intellectual district of Saint Germain des Pres , and the bars and nightspots when the sun goes down. If on the other hand you want to escape, take some peaceful time out in Jardin du Luxembourg .
7th Arrondissement
More commonly known as the quartier des ministres (ministers' quarter), the 7th district also boasts some of Paris' most beautiful monuments—the Invalides , the Eiffel Tower , the Champ de Mars—literally meaning "Field of Mars," which was originally a parade ground for cadets in the Ecole Militaire (Military Academy). Between Quai Voltaire and Rue de l'Universite, dozens upon dozens of antique dealers entice you into their shops on the Carre Rive Gauche, and if you are in an artistic frame of mind, the spectacular Musee d'Orsay is well worth a browse.
8th Arrondissement
Naturally, any visit to the 8th arrondissement has to start on the most beautiful avenue in the world—the fabulous Champs-Elysees - which extends from Place de l'Etoile down to the finishing post on Place de la Concorde . Also worth seeing is La Madeleine , a neoclassical church, and the parc Monceau , a jogger's paradise. Music lovers will find heaven in a shopping trip along Rue de Rome. Other places of interest include the Grand Palais and the Palais de la Decouverte (the Palace of Discovery), which makes the fascinating world of science accessible to all.
9th Arrondissement
Its impressive elegance makes the Opera (opera house) undeniably one of Paris' most exquisite monuments. You can take in the waxworks at Musee Grevin , and stroll through Nouvelles Athènes (New Athens) near the St-Georges metro, but this area is also characterized by large department stores, including Printemps and Galeries Lafayette .
10th Arrondissement
Running the entire length of the Canal Saint-Martin , the Quais de Valmy and de Jemappes extend either side of the water to provide one of the most delightful walks in Paris; from Rue du Temple to Place de Stalingrad you will pass many a lock and maybe the odd barge or two.
11th Arrondissement
Formerly the haunt of furniture craftsmen, the Bastille district now plays host to an entirely different scene: that of Paris' young and trendy in-crowd. Rue du Faubourg-St-Antoine has seen many restaurants and nightspots spring up and flourish. Neighboring Rue de Lappe is probably the place to be seen on an evening, while others prefer the buzz of Rue Oberkampf a little further north.
12th Arrondissement
Paris' pleasure beach can be found here, between the Seine and the Place de la Bastille , where the imposing Opera Bastille stands. The Palais Omnisport de Paris-Bercy serves as the venue for a variety of sporting and musical events, which often sell out very quickly, so be warned! Located to the far west of the city, but still within its limits, the Bois de Vincennes is a wonderful place to wander, especially around the lake.
13th Arrondissement
The easterly part of this district is known as "Chinatown," inhabited by numerous Chinese and Asian restaurants, shops and supermarkets. The Bibliothèque nationale de France (National Library) has also taken up residence in this area, overlooking the Quai de la Gare on the Seine. To the west of the district, meander through the small village of Butte-aux-Cailles—an extraordinary find in the capital city.
14th Arrondissement
Rue d'Alesia stands out for its array of clothing shops, while Parc Montsouris is arguably one of the most charming green spots in the city. The Cite Internationale, where international students reside, stands just opposite and is well worth a visit as it features architectural styles from all over the world. Finally, you can take a look at the Bronze Lion of Belfort or at Rodin's Balzac in Place Denfert-Rochereau.
15th Arrondissement
Set along the banks of the Seine, the delightful Parc Andre-Citroën in this district was, of course, named in honor of the famous car manufacturer. A little further north, overlooking the river, you'll find Paris' skyline of skyscrapers peering down at a replica (or did this one come first?) of the Statue of Liberty.
16th Arrondissement
There's no denying that this is the most fashionable district of Paris. The Trocadero offers a remarkable view of the city, as well as the Naval Museum ( Musee de la Marine ). Avenue Foch is destined to impress, as is Parc des Princes (Paris-Saint-Germain Stadium) . West of the ring road, roams the Bois de Boulogne forest, which although best avoided after dark, is a real delight during the day.
18th Arrondissement
The Basilique du Sacre-Coeur (the Basilica of the Sacred Heart) is another must-see monument in the City of Light. Looking up at the basilica from the market below is sure to take your breath away (as will all the steps you have to climb to reach it!). A short walk from the Sacre-Coeur takes you to Place du Tertre , drenched in the atmosphere of "old Paris" which cannot fail to captivate, even if it is teeming with tourists. Rue des Abesses, with its trendy boutiques and bars, draws a hipper kind of crowd alongside the famous Pigalle area—Paris' former red light district, and home to a famous cabarets and bars.
19th Arrondissement
The Cite des Sciences et de l'Industrie (Science and Industry Museum) was designed as Paris' window into the world of science. The Buttes Chaumont —an area of natural parkland—is the ideal place for a relaxing walk or a picnic.
20th Arrondissement
The most well-known cemetery in Paris, the Cimetière du Père-Lachaise is the final resting place of many famous artists, and is one of the most visited sites in the city. Memories of Jim Morrison are obviously still very much alive as his tomb is permanently carpeted with flowers. While the young artsy crowds of the city tend to hang out further and further to the east of the city—mainly in the Bastille district which is rapidly surrendering to consumerism—this area has managed to hold on to its working-class origins, hence its charm.

If there's one word that symbolizes Paris, it is gastronomy. The French, always appreciative of the finer things in life, have a unique tradition of famous restaurants and great chefs. If you really love good food, you'll find true happiness here. The latest, most fashionable restaurants mix innovation with traditional culinary techniques to serve classic French cuisine that's full of unexpected flavors. The cafe-restaurants, which are the pride of Paris, fit into the gastronomic landscape better than ever, with their beautifully presented and affordable food. Paris, always so cosmopolitan, has also been enriched by exotic cuisines from the four corners of the earth.
1st Arrondissement
In Paris, fine dining and great feasts (lasting up to three hours) are sacred, and the chefs in the most famous restaurants have turned their cuisine into a real art form. Paris features some of the most highly-praised restaurants and world-acclaimed chefs by International food critics, including the first arrondissement's Grand Vefour . Some other fine dining options can also be found in prestigious hotels, like Restaurant Le Meurice in the Meurice hotel. Combining touches of originality in both the food and design, the establishments of the Costes brothers are not to be missed. Cafe Costes was the first to set the trend quite a few years ago now. Highly popular during cocktail hours, notably among the business crowd, Fumoir is a comfortable lounge with leather coaches and an upscale restaurant, serving elaborate, traditional French food. The Pharamond , offers an extraordinary setting and a meal to match: its decor dates from 1832, proof, if any were needed, that Paris' tradition of exceptional gastronomy is still going strong.
2nd Arrondissement
If you're looking for pastries, the oldest pâtisserie in Paris is Pâtisserie Stohrer , carrying deserts and sweets fit for a queen. A bustling area for Sunday brunch is on Rue Montorgueil, notably Au Rocher de Cancale , which is completely packed after noon.
4th Arrondissement
After a stroll in the narrow streets of Île-Saint-Louis, head to the oldest ice-cream artisan in the city, Berthillon . With more than 60 different flavors, their all-natural ice creams will enchant the whole family. The most exquisite include Caramel Beurre Sale (caramel and salted butter) and Cappucino. At one point in time it was very hard to find a Parisian restaurant that served brunch. That time is behind us now, and brunch has become so popular that, at some places, you will have to wait a quite a while for a table. Le Loir dans la Theière is definitely worth the wait. All pies, tarts, and pastries are hand-made and fresh, and prices are more than reasonable. For tea, Mariage Frères has the best reputation. As for nightlife, one of the hottest spots in Paris is Georges at the top of the Centre Pompidou.
5th & 6th Arrondissement
Tour d'Argent is one of Paris' culinary institutions, serving up dishes of worldwide renown.
Le Procope is decked out in the finest fashions of Paris' Annees Folles, and Ernest Hemingway finished "Le soleil se lève aussi" at the world renowned Closerie des Lilas . Parisians think of Les Deux Magots and Cafe de Flore as historic monuments just like the Eiffel Tower or Notre-Dame Cathedral . Visitors should make a point of visiting these historical establishments to truly soak up the atmosphere of the capital's glorious past; it's easy to imagine past celebrities and intellectuals dining in the luxurious period decor. If you're looking for authentic country bread, Poilâne bakery is the best bet. You will find the famous Tartines made with this bread (toasted with cheese, vegetables, or prosciutto) at numerous cafes in the city. What is a good meal without an espresso in the end? Something is definitely missing–notably the chocolate served with it. The French are chocolate connoisseurs and you can find some chocolate artisans throughout the city, like the Maison du Chocolat that imports chocolate from Switzerland and Belgium.
8th Arrondissement
The 8th arrondissement is home to some of the finest restaurants in France, with Pierre Gagnaire voted one of the best restaurants in the world by the British magazine Restaurant, and the oft-celebrated Restaurant Alain Ducasse situated in Plaza Athenee Hotel . Maxim's is a veritable institution devoted to classic French cuisine, and another excellent yet expensive spot is Taillevent , which has wines that cost as much as a dress from Chanel. Paris has numerous fashionable spots where you go to see and be seen. Most of these restaurants have chic and trendy interiors designed by popular architects. For fashionistas and celeb-watching addicts, L'Avenue , located on the prestigious avenue Montaigne where many famous designers have boutiques, is an ideal spot. For flavored and rare types of mustard and vinegar, the first established Boutique Maille is the best bet, and Hediard and Fauchon stock some of the world's finest specialty foods. For desert, don't miss Maison de la Truffe for first rate truffles, and Haagen-Dazs for it's world-renowned flavors. For the best macaroons (a kind of soft cookie filled with cream) in town, head to Laduree , a house that has been established since 1862.
9th Arrondissement
A new trend arose in Paris as an alternative to cafes and bistros serving a rich food: healthy soup and juice bars. With an increasing number of vegetarians previously not having many dining options, they rapidly became a success. The soup and juice bar Soup & Juice perfectly illustrates the phenomenon. People don't always have time to sit at lunch for hours anymore, and they may want a healthy alternative to the sandwich booths and bakeries. With a dozen of locations across the city, you can grab a healthy meal at very reasonable prices.
10th Arrondissement
Brasseries began in the Alsace region, where the beer was actually brewed, so the tradition is that most brasseries (which literally means brewery), not only serve sauerkraut (an Alsatian specialty) but also seafood and shellfish such as scallops, oysters, mussels, clams, etc. The Brasserie Flo , located in a remote and quiet court in the 10th arrondissement, is a bargain for seafood lovers. The ingredients are extremely fresh and the decor reminds some patrons of Grandma's kitchen. Bistros are certainly the best value for price if you cannot afford the star-rated restaurants but still want to enjoy the best of French food. You can find many bistros and brasseries in the capital, serving the traditional Entrecôte (rib-eye steak) or Bavette à l'echalotte (flank steak dressed in a shallot reduction) with French Fries, the cheese or charcuterie plate (cooked meats), and chocolate mousse or caramel creme. Julien , with its Belle Époque decor, is a great place to sample the cuisine of a traditional brasserie à la française. If you're looking for seafood, La Marine offers a lovely dining experience alongside Saint-Martin Canal. For dessert, try Furet Tanrade , which offers exquisite chocolates in a cozy atmosphere.
11th Arrondissement
When Bastille became a hip district for nightlife, the spotlight fell on the restaurant-bar-club, Sanz sans , which consistently draws a lively crowd of revelers. For traditional meals from the Auvergne region, head to La galoche d'Aurillac . Try one of the specialties like the Lentilles from Le Puy or the charcuterie plate—notably the Fricandeau (a kind of pâte typical from that region). The cheese plate is a must-have here, since they mature the cheeses in their cellar. Another classic brasserie is Petit Bofinger in Bastille, more affordable than the original Bofinger. Chez Paul is one of the best bistros in Paris, but make sure to arrive early or be prepared to wait up to one hour for a table. The Bar à Soupes in Bastille is a charming place for healthy cuisine, and for oysters and shellfish, a great option is the Bar à Huîtres , an oyster bar in Saint-Germain-des-Pres.
12th Arrondissement
Cheese is to France what tea is to England; it is part of the national identity. There are more than 300 varieties of cheeses coming from various regions of the country. Neighborhood farmer's markets are the best places to sample and buy all the kinds of cheese you can imagine and probably some you didn't know existed. Choose from fresh, creamy, or dry goat cheese, soft and milky Camembert, creamy Brie de Meaux, strong Munster or Époisses, and full-flavored Roquefort. The Aligre Market is without a doubt the largest and the most comprehensive market in the city.
13th Arrondissement
Whether for sampling on site or souvenir shopping, wine is of course a must-have in France. You will find many wine shops in Paris, with an excellent selection of bottles coming from small French wineries or prestigious houses. The most widespread name in the city is Nicolas. The wine merchant has brown flagships all over the city and carries affordable ordinary wines and more elaborate vintages. All the sales associates are very professional and can give you good advice on wine and meal pairings. The wine bar, Bar à Vins Nicolas located alongside fashionable Cour Saint-Émilion in Bercy-Village is a great spot to sample the selection they carry.
14th Arrondissement
Visitors should make a point of visiting several historical establishments to truly soak up the atmosphere of the capital's glorious past; it's easy to imagine past celebrities and intellectuals dining in the luxurious period decor. La Coupole offers all the splendor of Paris' Annees Folles, and if you look out at the terrace of the Dôme , you may even see the ghost of Jean Paul Sartre. After all, Paris is magical.
16th Arrondissement
The Cafe de L'Homme offers an intimate dining experience behind its red curtains and warm wooden decor. Paris has countless fine specialty food stores, each only dedicated to one sort of delicacy. For caviar, go to Prunier .
17th & 18th Arrondissement
The Paradis du Fruit (literally "fruit's paradise") will enchant those in search of a perfect smoothie. Wepler is a well-established brasserie on place de Clichy.

Judge rules against Zimmerman on evidence

SANFORD, FLA. — A Florida judge ruled Wednesday that Trayvon Martin's cellphone text messages about fighting and a defense animation depicting the struggle between Martin and George Zimmerman won't be introduced as evidence at Zimmerman's trial. Defense attorneys had wanted to use those pieces of evidence as they conclude their presentation.
Judge Debra Nelson made her ruling a day after she heard arguments on the matter. Prosecutors had claimed the texts were irrelevant and taken out of context. They also objected to the computer animation, questioning its accuracy and saying it would mislead jurors.
"This is a murder trial. This isn't 'Casablanca.' This isn't 'Iron Man,'" prosecutor Richard Mantei said.
The judge seemed concerned about the animation's accuracy during arguments. While the animation can't be introduced as evidence that can be reviewed by jurors during their deliberations, defense attorneys may be able to use it during closing arguments, she ruled.
"To have an animation go back into jury room that they can play over and over again gives a certain weight to something that this court isn't exactly certain comports with the evidence presented at trial," Nelson said Wednesday night.

The judge agreed with prosecutors' concerns about introducing the 17-year-old's text messages. But defense attorney Don West had argued the texts were relevant since they showed Martin's interest in fighting and physical capabilities.

After lunch Wednesday, the judge asked Zimmerman if he had made up his mind on whether to testify. He said he hadn't. Defense attorney Don West objected several times to the judge's question but the judge overruled him.
Defense attorneys on Wednesday called one of their last witnesses as they started winding down their case. Public safety consultant Dennis Root testified that Martin was in better physical shape than Zimmerman, and that the neighborhood watch volunteer wasn't any athlete.
"He would find himself lacking when compared to Mr. Martin," Root said of Zimmerman.
During cross-examination of Root, prosecutor John Guy used a life-sized foam mannequin in front of the jury to simulate the body positions of Zimmerman and Martin at the time of the shooting.
Defense attorney Mark O'Mara, right, speaks with assistant state attorney Bernie de la Rionda during …
Straddling the dummy, Guy proposed a scenario in which Martin was on top of Zimmerman and asked Root if it was possible that Martin was backing away from Zimmerman at the time of the fatal gunshot.
"Yes," Root said.
Root also said he may have taken different actions if he were in Zimmerman's situation, but said that "it's just a matter of what you as the individual view as options."
Using the same mannequin during further questioning of Root, defense attorney Mark O'Mara challenged the notion of Martin retreating. Root said that while multiple gun angles were possible, he had no specific information to say what position Martin was in when he was shot.
"I think you're not going to be involved in a conflict like this without it being dynamic," Root said.
Martin was unarmed and returning from a store when he was fatally shot by Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, during a struggle on a dark, rainy night in February 2012. Martin was black and Zimmerman identifies himself as Hispanic. Some civil rights activists argued that the initial delay in charging Zimmerman was influenced by Martin's race. Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and says he shot Martin in self-defense.
Defense attorneys have said they are likely to wrap up their presentation on Wednesday after less than a week of calling witnesses. Much of the testimony in previous days has concerned a 911 call made by a witness during the confrontation that includes screams for help.
Convincing the jury of who was screaming for help on the tape has become the primary goal of prosecutors and defense attorneys because it would help jurors evaluate Zimmerman's self-defense claim. Relatives of Martin's and Zimmerman's have offered conflicting opinions about who is heard screaming.

1936 Hudson Terraplane
My first post, hope following protocol...I am an orphan as well as a member of the Studebaker Drivers Club but am planning on letting go of my 1955 President, filling its spot in the garage with a Hudson. Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I am looking for a 1936 Terraplane business coupe (please do not snicker and say, "good luck with that"...) Hoping for complete, original (not hot rod), running perhaps older resto vehicle. If someone out there has this vehicle to sell, please let me know. I am in the Buffalo, NY area but would travel a bit to check out a good prospect. PS the Pres will then be for sale/trade so keep that in mind. Thanks!
You have come to the right place. Welcome
There is a 1937 Terraplane Coupe for sale, still, maybe. If you are looking for only that business coupe model your search might take a while.
Contact me if you want details. the '37 is in Colorado I believe. -
I was investigating a '37 in Canada but do not believe that deal will work. My preference would be for a '36 as I prefer the styling of the grill to the '37. Were there multiple 2-door models for the year 1936?
There were multiple 2-door models in 1936
For Hudson:
2-Pass. Coupe (Series 63, 64, 65);
4-Pass. Coupe (Series 63, 64, 65)
2-4 Pass. Convt. Coupe (Series 63, 64, 65)
5-Pass. (2-Door) Brougham (Series 63, 64, 65)
5-Pass. (2-Door) Touring Brougham (Series 63, 64, 65)
3-Pass. Coupe (Series 61, 62)
5-Pass. Brougham Series 61, 62) (basically a 2-door sedan)
5-Pass. Touring Brougham (Series 61, 62)
3-Pass. Convt. Coupe (Series 61, 622)
1/2 ton Utility Coach (Series 70) (2-Door Sedan type)

That is excellent information, thank you so much for taking the time to answer my inquiry. Now, does anyone out there have any of those 1936 Terraplanes for sale (in the less than 35K range)?
There are five on eBay today, but sorry no coupes...... Woops, those are all 37's.Brownie
Found one send me an e-mail at HudsonMCCC(remove)@ G maildot com add the dot remove and despace.
The car is in the middle of the US so it would be a long haul to Buffalo, but that depends on how bad you want it. This is an non-restored car that is close to all there... let me know. -
Have been watching/having discussions with the sellers of the 37's on eBay - one may turn into a lead on a '36 coupe...keep your fingers crossed. Are there pics for the one you mentioned hudsonsoul? Can't hurt to look.
There's a 36 Sedan in Vt that still casts a shadow. Still has the cigar in it's mouth. Not sure where it is, but I know the guy who knows the guy. I've already got one of 'em so I'm not interested in it.
email@example.com -
Looking for a '36 Terraplane coupe, so we're getting closer!
Yes there are a couple pictures. Please send me an e-mail and I will give you the particulars.
how about this?
http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/3200611558.html -
Never mind got your e-mail. Sorry for my confusion.
That is the one ski4life.
Thanks. I forwarded it to hubby - I think we are looking for something a bit "shinier" but looks straight - 15k seems like a lot needing interior, paint and tires but what do I know?!
I would agree that 15K for that car is high. Do not be in too big of a hurry, as winter approaches there should be a few show up. Also, for 15K you should be able to drive it home. It might need some work, but it would be rust free and a good driver. For 25K you should be able to take it to a local car show and it just might win a sponsor trophy. It would be a good driver and dependable. Either a nice original or an amature restoration. For the 35K mark it would be a professional restoration and a car anyone would be excited to see and proud to own. Some might go above that price but they are most likely dreamers hoping for a good pay day. In the meantime, you might want to join up with a local hudson group and start speaking with some locals. They might have a lead for you...Brownie
Thanks. We are definitely not "show car" folks - we have five projects in the garage and they are all essentially daily drivers. I would be proud to own a Terraplane in "any" condition other than rust bucket because I want to show it off in public regardless of its little imperfections. I am hot to make a deal shortly as I will need to sell my '55 Studebaker to make room for the Hudson in the garage - hoping folks looking for winter projects will speed the process along. Don't forget, I live in Buffalo, NY...it will be winter shortly and for a loooong time, ha!
Well, now I need to start a new conversation chain (and change my profile pic). I just made a deal on a 1937 2dr slant back sedan! I won't celebrate totally till it's in my driveway, title in hand. Bought it online, have not seen it in person but it is an older resto, new tires, no rust, new wiring, redone correct mohair interior in super condition, new exhaust and window and trunk seals. Unfortunately had developed an engine knock so anticipating dropping another grand - 11K - I think I did ok. Thoughts?
My theory, get 11,000.00 cash and put it next to car. Step back 10 yards, look and decide which one you would rather have.
Ok, no more thoughts from you dave s, you are a party-pooper :-h . I am thrilled :x and will rephrase...any constructive and encouraging thoughts?
Pictures are good.
Dave's right . . . comes down to whether or not you are happy, and it sounds as though you are. Congratulations, and welcome! -
Thanks. We will be trailering her from Kentucky to New York, so I will post some pics when we get her home.
Look forward to seeing her!
Welcome here Joycescheetz !
I like very much the way you see the things Dave !
Unfortunately, it's too late to apply this method by now, I hope it's a good deal. Anyway, you will find excellent support here !Location : France -
I have a Boogie-Woogie piano CD with a 36 Terraplane business coupe on the cover, and inside. The car has the rare "Piano Motor" that Hudson developed during the depression to capitalize on the Boogie-Woogie craze but did not use. (Written up in the WTN) It is the only Hudson Terraplane piano motor in existence :) Link:

Welcome to this wonderful world. Now you have taken the step we are all really excited for you. Dave's comment was most likely realistic and I can assure you that he is not a party pooper? You can see from his avtar that he is just as sick as the rest of us. I have a roadster pick up that is very nice. I got an offer to sell her yesterday for more than twice than she is worth. I should sell, but I did not. I am having too much fun. Price does not really come into play when we talk about these cars. We visit reality (like Dave) every once and a while but then press on. Your car sounds great!! Excited to see some photo's. And, be sure to join a local Chapter of the Hudson Club. You will be warmly accepted and respected--well, your car will win them over at first sight, you will need to try a little, but it will not take long.......Brownie
Glad to see you found a Terraplane! When you get it take a bunch of pictures. Ask a bunch of questions and Have Fun!
Hudsonsoul - thinking I got more bang for my buck on this vehicle than the roached out one for 15K on Craigslist :)
Does not look like the Western New York chapter is very active. Their web site seems to be down but I did get ahold of someone and they are having a get together on the 22nd close by so I am going to try to make that - hopefully I will have the Terraplane by then but not sure if she will be on the road with the engine issues since not entirely sure what is up...sounds like she may have sucked some gunk up from the pan... -
Welcome aboard. This is the greatest bunch of car nuts around. HET is not really a car club - it's a family club. I've been a member of a lot of car clubs over the years, but after 43 years I'm still with the Hudson club and the rest are in the dust. That should tell you something. Have fun and enjoy.
Got a meet near your place - by all means take the T'plane if it has arrived by then. Tow it, push it, whatever - just take it and go. If you have a chance to drop the pan and clean it out I'll go out on a limb and say somebody at that meet will try to get it running. LOL
If you need any manuals to work with check out the HET Club online library at
http://hetclub.org/burr/lithomepage.htm - you'll find parts books, service merchandisers, bulletins and reference sheets to help you.

Thanks Husdontech. I was told by the seller that the Terraplane comes with its original '37 owners manual and a repro shop manual so that is all good. I plan to hook up with the HET - as a member of national Studebaker Drivers Club and local SDC Iroquois Chapter, I know that is a valuable tool - if only to surround oneself with like-minded whackos. :))
Hudson people tend to be a tad bit out of synch with the rest of the world. LOL
The service magazines in the online library are worth reading thru.
I wouldn't have minded owning a StudBacker back in the day. They were very good cars.

My kind of folks! I'll bookmark that site, I am sure I will need to refer to it often.
Sure looks nice, you sure couldn't put a project together for that money. I
've heard the western NY chapter is pretty quiet the last few years. My parents and brother are members but my parents don't drive their cars anymore. There are a lot of members and cars in the area, just not too much activity. -
The fella I got in contact with, Gugino I believe, is going to mail me a schedule of their upcoming events. If like our Studebaker club, it will go straight from summer picnic to Christmas party :))
Hudson folks have two seasons - last season and next season!!!! As in "I should have done that last season and I'll finish this resto next season!!! :D

Congrats on your newest family member. I have a 37 four dr. sedan and it's a very nice driving car. The 3x5 six cylinder engines like the one in your car are very tough. Hope the knock is an easy fix. Post more pictures when you get a chance, we love pictures. Please ask question!! You'll get some good info from the people on this forum.
Gene Birdsall. -
Thank you all for your interest...I am very excited to be a part of Hudsondom! The seller should receive my deposit check tomorrow and once it clears, we can rock-n-roll. I put the Stude on Craigslist this am and already got a guy to come look at it, we fired her up but he is coming back in a day or so to take a spin - cross your fingers.
Just as a matter of curiosity, what made you decide to get rid of the President and get a Hudson? -
I'm not the '57 Chevy type of gal, I like a more unusual, head-turning ride. I was working on a '60 TBird when I asked myself, "is this my dream car?" After seeing the Studebaker my answer was no. Sold the square bird and bought the President in '94. About a 10 years ago, I went with a friend to check out a '68 GTX - it was all orange and striped like the General Lee but my attention was on the rusty hulk on the other side of the garage, a '36 Terraplane...she had haunted my dreams ever since!
Plus, since I do not think I will ever be in the '36 Cord Supercharged convertible tax bracket, this is the next best example of art deco styling in my estimation.
That's a great answer! Like the way you think. =D>
Thanks. The deposit check should have arrived so I am just waiting for the call. Then I will inundate you folks with a new post with loads of pics - get ready for a flood of questions.
Well, bring 'em on! Anxious to see some BIGGER pics! LOL!
You are anxious... ;)) ? I can not wait to see her in person!
Get in touch with Uncle Josh on here, he's a great guy and knows these cars pretty well.
BTW, he's in upstate N.Y.!
Will do. He checked in with this post early on while I was shopping, perhaps a member of local HET?!
Uncle Josh lives about 30 minutes north of Amsterdam, NY. He himself has a 1936 Terraplane, running though not restored. At the very least try to get to his annual car meet around the 4th of July weekend, in Northville, NY.
That's waaaaay on the other side of the state! I am just south of Buffalo, that would be quite the treck, besides we are always out of town over the 4th. Perhaps another occasion.

It doesn't look especially lethal, but the not-quite-perpindicular, cross-shaped and very ordinary seeming intersection of highways 136 and 148 just beyond the northeast corner of Maryville is one of the most dangerous in the five-county region.
That is according to statistics compiled since 2008 by the Northwest Missouri Regional Council of Governments, which hosted an observation session at the crossroads Wednesday for representatives from the Missouri Department of Transportation, Nodaway County Commission, Missouri State Highway Patrol and a handful of regional planning agencies.
NWRCOG transportation planner Dana Ternus presided over the session, which began with a brief meeting at the Nodaway County Administration Center before participants donned day-glow safety vests, picked up cameras, clipboards and water bottles and headed out to the junction.
Collectively known as the Transportation Advisory Council, the group visited the intersection as the first step in an effort to make it safer. According to Ternus, the crossroads is this year's winner of a sort of region-wide "most dangerous" contest that seeks out highway trouble spots across Nodaway, Holt, Atchison, Gentry and Worth counties.
Once all the information is studied, the group will make recommendations to MoDOT calling for improvements that can range from improved signage to new turning lanes. The department studies the recommendations before deciding what action, if any needs to be taken.
Though the 136/148 junction failed to produce any fatalities during the study period, it has been the site of nine wrecks, two of them "disabling," between 2008 and 2011. Statistics are not yet available for 2012.
Of the other mishaps, one resulted in minor injuries and six were classed as "property damage only."
Five of the nine accidents have been right-angle collisions, which Patrol Sgt. Doug Black said means that, "Typically somebody has pulled out in front for whatever reasons."
Just what makes the intersection so dangerous is something of a mystery, since there are ample lines of sight in all directions. Highway 148 is controlled on both sides of the much-busier 136 with stop signs, one of which, facing north, is capped by a flashing red light.
In addition, the southbound lane of 148 on the north side of 136 is equipped with "rumble strips" designed to alert drivers that they are approaching a crossroads
But Wednesday's tour was not intended to produce any specific recommendations. The idea, rather, was to get advisory council members to start thinking about possible solutions.
"We just want to come up with some different ideas, that's the main thing," said Nodaway County North District Commissioner Robert Westfall. "We want to try and make things better."
