It sort of is
Going kind of far, no?
It sort of is
Going kind of far, no?
I'm always kind of puzzled by people who feel "unfairly" treated because of their console of choice.
There is no console caste system here. You're not tied to the Wii, even in its new incarnation. You're a free spirit! You could own any console you want - multiple consoles, even!
If this were 2010, and you'd just picked up Rock Band 2 for the Wii, I'd be more sympathetic to your perspective. I know that it came as a shock to Wii players when we stopped releasing new RBN songs then. I wish we hadn't had to do it, but it was unavoidable. I felt terrible for the disappointed Wii players - really, I still do.
But in this case, you have all the data available. New RBN songs have been unavailable on Wii for almost two years because Wii players weren't sufficiently interested in purchasing RBN content to justify the investment on our side.
Frankly, it seems a little like complaining that wearing orange makes your skin tone look bad, but then only buying orange sweaters.
You brought up the Wii U, and you point out that the Wii U is a whole new system. Does that lower the time and energy cost of preparing and submitting content?
No, it does not. Putting RBN content out on the Wii takes a lot of time and energy, both here and at Nintendo, and that time/energy cost is the exact same for the Wii U as for the Wii. (It has to be, because there's no way Harmonix could release DLC for the Wii U only. People who only have the original Wii would be incredibly upset if we did.)
What about the return? Can we suddenly expect more RBN songs to be purchased on the Wii?
No, we can't. There's no reason to think that people will be more interested in purchasing RBN DLC on the Wii U than they were on the original Wii. Rather the opposite, in fact - because RB3 isn't available on the Wii U. (RB3 is compatible, but that's not the same thing as being released on the console, any more than a PS3 gamer is likely to play a lot of PS2 games on a brand new PS3.)
I may be missing something here, though. And I really would listen - if there's evidence to support your perspective. So what's your argument?
First I would like to thank you for responding to this issue as it is a huge one for myself and my family as we love the rockband stuff.
Secondly I have always understood the business aspect from your end in regards to your time and energy towards DLC for the basic wii. And for you looking for that to pay off. But there are so many questions that have gone unaswered when it come to the wii and wiiu. Its very different treatment when you guys respond right away to 360/ps3 issues. I am bringing up just the official responses because i agree with you about nothing will change with the returns on future dlc purchases for the wii if it is only compatible with the wiiu.
Take lego rock band for an example. I believe that wii users would buy this old game just for the excellent songs and would also pay for a code to import them to RB3. The songs are already there.
I believe your time for making that possible would pay off.
I wouldnt expect any sales jump for future DLC for the wii until RB4 is made for the 360/PS3/Wiiu. BUT also communicate to the wii community till that happens assuring them that anything the other consoles content will be the same for the wiiu.
I know im not tied to one console but I have children as you see in my profile picture a third one as of last year too hehe. I really cant see myself buying a 360/ps3 when i have 4 gaming pcs for us, it would be like getting a watered down computer basically. The wii is different, so is the wiiu. Family orientated, thats key for me.
Lastly I and my family are greatful for your companys efforts to continue to support content to the Wii system despite sales falling short of what they should be and are for other more popular consoles.

Sorry, but I stopped watching the video when they put up the picture of the man and his tastey monkey. No, i am not going to far. If you look at posts from almost every Wii user you would see they are not happy with not only the issues that have come up but also how they were handled officially, the non-official answer is always get a new console.
This is the fallacy that makes Wii owners complain about the lack of RBN. HMX has better numbers on this stuff than we do. All we can do is make educated guesses. And those guesses are that the Wii audience for Rock Band, specifically Rock Band 3, is only a small fraction of the buying public for all three consoles.
And the problem in the quoted part specifically is that just because you would buy something doesn't mean that a significant portion of the Wii users would too. That's an example of a selection bias. And it's been seen before back when RBN was stopped for the Wii. Some people insisted, insisted that if only HMX would release more RBN DLC, that Wii owners everywhere would just gobble it up. Even better if it was stuff the poster personally liked.
The problem is that the most popular RBN song released was on all three consoles and it simply didn't sell well on the Wii. Maybe the Wii player base has different overall musical tastes, but that still doesn't explain why the same basic ratio of song purchases held out for every other RBN song released on the Wii.
The wider Wii audience was indifferent (or just largely absent) to buying RBN. So HMX stopped released that content for the Wii rather than take a significant loss on the deal. Them's the breaks.
The main issue with changing consoles, or investing in another is the lack of available game controllers.
Even by March of 2010, The Beatles Rock Band controllers were getting hard to find. In order to find e Gretsch Dou Jet for my wife's birthday, I had to drive 250 miles one way to get it, not including the 70 miles one way the opposite direction to a store that claimed they had it and when I got there they only had one Rickenbacker in stock. (bought that as well, since the writing was on the wall)
Since TBRB, the third generation Strat was released (got one right away) and the new keyboard controller was out. (grabbed one of them too)
Right now in the new market , there are a few keyboard controllers around and the Mustang pro guitar but nothing else. So even if I desperately wanted to switch consoles, I'd never be able to get the controllers.
I'm sure its a matter of economics for the controller manufacturers as well. If there was money to be made producing controllers, someone would be doing it. Things being what they are it would seem that those of us with a Wii are stuck with the Wii.
Then there would be the matter of reinvesting all the DLC for the games on a new platform. That could require a significant amount of cash as well.
Its truly a pity really. The rock band series of games was and still is a revolutionary concept with mass appeal but, in my opinion, the short attention span and fickle buying habits of the average video game consumer make it difficult for even a revolutionary idea to keep full support on any platform.
I know I am preaching to the choir here. The steady traffic at this forum shows how many dedicated players there are for the game.

Sorry, I forgot about that, or I would have warned. But he goes on to make some pretty solid points.
And if you all, collectively, were better customers, it wouldn't come down to that. At least as far as RBN goes. A lot of the rest of it boils down to the technical limitations of the Wii. It's kind of amazing HMX managed to allow RB2 and Green Day to export for the Wii, really (as it's not really a 'true' export like Xbox and PS3 have, but it gets the songs in RB3 just fine).
I wouldn't doubt HMX people sort of regret releasing the series on Wii altogether. Not that they'd ever admit that publicly.

Dude really? Mostly I ignore posts from people like you, but this time I will respond because I actually believe that you think your being helpful. Your not though. Can you do us wii/rockband owners a favor and say that we should buy a 360/ps3 and our problem will be solved and then how about you move on since you have no real reason to be posting in this thread. Thank you in advance. I will be waiting to read a response from HMXLachesis and wont be responding to your posts anymore. Take care.
What exactly is there left to respond to?
☐ Alexisonfire ☐ Billy Talent ☐ Cake ☐ Cream ☐ ELO ☑ Heart ☐ Kinks
☐ Neil Young ☐ OLP ☐ Sex Pistols ☑ Sublime ☐ Supertramp ☐ ZZ Top
But they're completely right, even if they weren't exactly polite about it. Wii users as a whole bought very little from RBN, so porting songs became more work than it was worth for Harmonix. Sometimes the simple answer is the right one.
Of course the few Wii users who did buy lots of songs will be upset about it, but they can't justify keeping a costly content stream open for so few people.

The spectacle of World Wrestling Entertainment may not be to everyone's tastes but Isner and his friends still gather round to watch it every week.
"Although it is scripted, I do have great respect for these guys. A lot of guys make fun of me but these guys are actually putting their bodies on the line," he said.
"Growing up in North California, me and all my friends, it was pretty sad but our weeks revolved around a Monday night.
"Monday night wrestle would come on and we'd all huddle up and pay per views would come on and I'd get 10 of my friends to come over -- $5 each, so we could pay the $50 to watch the pay per view.
"It's something that I've always liked and I haven't grown out of it either. You know, at 27 at 6 ft 10 ins, I haven't grown out of that stage so for me, it's something I do to pass time on Monday nights."

ATLANTA (AP) -- Gov. Nathan Deal has signed into a law his plan to extend a key piece of Medicaid insurance funding without explicitly extending a tax on hospitals.
The new law allows a state health board of the governor's appointees to tax Georgia hospitals' net patient revenue, rather than have the legislature do it. The money then will be used to qualify for federal Medicaid support. The new scheme will replace an existing tax that the General Assembly approved in 2010. That tax expires June 30.
Lawmakers didn't want to lose $450 million in annual federal Medicaid money secured by the tax. But many of them, particularly Republicans, also feared primary challenges in 2014 if they voted to extend that setup.
Hospital executives support the compromise that Deal first offered in January.

The recent and planned changes in the retirement laws may make all of us able to work for longer before retiring, but change is happening faster than ever.
There are some serious implications. The longer people live and the more new often costly medical techniques that enable life and health, the larger the number of people the NHS treats and the more often they treat people during their lifetime.
When state pensions were originally introduced people lived five or so years before dying. Now people tend to live 15, 20 or 25 years after retiring. The current and future state and private pensions shortfall is huge and getting bigger. That governments and employers have plundered pension funds in the last two decades, as an easy source of money does not help.
There are two scenarios. One where people work for 50 or 60 years in their usual jobs before retiring. The other where people work those jobs for 40 years and spend the rest of their life in other part-time work or working for themselves to make ends meet.
Either way, many health and life insurers have got blinkers on. Some have removed all upper age limits. But the majority still cap new business at anywhere between 60 and 70.Particularly on life and income protection, most insurers stop offering cover to existing customers at any time from 55 to 70.
All the recent research suggests that people stay fit and healthy for many years, often long after the out of date and arbitrary age limits imposed by insurers.
The upcoming age discrimination laws will force most companies to stop taking age into account when providing goods and services.
The insurance industry has managed to wheedle and plead an exception to the law.
Much depends on how tough the government wants to be. To comply with the exception insurers must both prove they have good cause to turn down fit and healthy people just because of age. And they must suggest where people they turn down can get cover.
It is unlikely that the signposting rule will change.
But insurers may find it tougher than expected to turn people down. If they have always avoided " older " customers they will have no real evidence of their own to back up their views that are based more on insurance myth and gut feeling than statistics. The government has already indicated that the current industry based evidence is very shaky; being very similar to the so-called evidence on male versus female risk that the government and EU courts dismissed as mostly useless.
The new figures on life and health are from the government's own statistical service, so cannot be dismissed easily. Neither can the research from reinsurers Swiss Re on who many insurers rely for trend detail.
Insurers may just stick their head in the sand, go 'la la la I cannot hear you ' and carry on as before.
The brighter ones will remove or raise age limits. After all –who in their right minds would cut themselves off from the biggest and fastest growing sector with the largest disposable income?

Slowly Quilting...
Other than getting the backing pieced last week, Not a whole lot has been accomplished here. Hard to say why, other than the fact that you can't quilt when you are running around doing everything else that needs to be done!
Today was no exception. I had it in my mind that I would QUILT ALL DAY but before I could even get started it was after dinner? I thought after kids grew up that I'd have more time.
So I AM quilting along, even if it is not at the fast pace I've been used to. Here are a few pics of the quilting in progress on the Cathedral Stars.
I had fun with this one..it really is even much more FREE than the original one. Since the first one was a donation quilt, I was careful with the 2" strips I chose for it, keeping things in jewel tones, mostly of the predictable tone-on-tone variety, colorful, but not busy, you know? The same with the neutrals in that one. Pretty sedate pattern wise, what I was going for was COLOR.
Well this time I shook it up! I've got lots of novelties and funzies in here, and some funglies too! I was ruthless when I was pulling 2" strips from the bins, using ANYTHING that would work with reckless abandon in this quilt. Take a look at the close up and you will see cats, spools of thread, Quilt Diva fabric and crabs! One of my favorites was a bright lime green fabric that Randy had brought, with SUSHI on it....too funny.
It's more of the "unlikely combinations" that I was referring to last week as well. Some things are just more fun to look at when they are unexpected. They draw your eye, they hold your attention, they make you wonder WHY!
It reminds me of 7th grade choir...can you see me and my giggly girlfriend, Julie McAllister, so TIRED of rehearsing this one piece over and over and over! So in retaliation and exasperation,we, with our sweet angelic faces and voices, sang our hearts out...purposely just SLIGHTLY enough off key to make the teacher wince.
*Hehehe* Honestly, we did do that! It was so hard to keep a straight face, but somehow we did! I'd like to see someone keep a straight face when they find these funny fabrics amongst my well-behaving traditional ones!
Friday I hit the road again....or should I say "Take To The Sky?" I'm flying to Winnipeg, en route to Kenora, Ontario, Canada! Good thing I haven't completely put away my winter wardrobe yet, eh? I understand the cases of books have arrived past the Canadian border, and I'm looking forward to a fun few days in the great north!

Universe wise, the FRR has left a much larger footprint then the SIC.
Actually, the FRR eventually merges with the Ghost Bears, and becomes the Rasalhague Dominion
As for the St. Ive's Compact becoming it's own faction in-game? Eh, While it would be interesting from a RP perspective, I'm not a huge fan of it. Sure, it' would be great, but what would the actual player base be? 0.5 to 1 % of the gaming population? If that? I don't really think it's worth it in the long run. You can have your own forums though, that's fine by me.

Just sowing the seeds of chaos in the Inner Sphere
In all seriousness there are actual grounds for an argument here on St. Ives independence. It would be fun to see them have to fight for it instead when the Beta finally launches. Wouldn't that make for an interesting campaign for the first couple months of the game? (Yes I know its out of the timeline...still interesting idea)

But as MWO is no planetary league, I see no reason to create more borders just because 10 people want to play as a certain minor power.
And all those who want to play as periphery tend to forget that its lowtech country and it takes 8 years before it even starts to change (at an extremely slow pace).

Yes, I know, this is a worst case scenario, but I think a developer should always take such scenarios into consideration (and I guess they allready did).

Yes, I know, this is a worst case scenario, but I think a developer should always take such scenarios into consideration (and I guess they allready did).
That didnt stop the devs from making the FRR playable and we KNOW how badly they get run over. I doubt a hypothetical situation is enough of a reason when a known event has the same result elsewhere.

Because the FRR survives. You can bet that Tukayyid will be a core world from the beginning (so they would have at least one world in the worst case) - and everyone can understand why.

And so does the SIC within a reasonable timeline. If the FRR gets at least one planet in a worst case scenario - why can't the SIC

Too bad for me that they aren't, but I can certainly understand why. 5 factions, PLUS mercs and lone wolves should give the player population enough room. And having too few in a faction is a far more dreaded possibility. Honestly, would we prefer crowded, competitive, highly active factions, or some that go virtually silent for hours on end ("Hello, anyone want to fill out my lance? *sound of crickets*)?
However, I do see the St. Ives Compact as being one of the main merc playgrounds. And I can see assault missions for Capellans on their own worlds. And defense contracts for mercs against them. One of the few areas where you can take over a planet from the ruling faction by defending it instead of through headlong assault.

Featuring Derek Anderson's thoughts on his new documentary.
Derek Anderson was a pretty damn good basketball player.
Based on what I hear, actually, Derek Anderson's pretty good at everything he tries. So when word got around that he took the plunge into filmmaking, I was excited to see the product.
When Anthony Holt, a screenwriter and producer, contacted me and offered me a screener of his new film, I was a little hesitant to accept it. I mean, I'd gladly watch and review it, but if it was corny, I was going to be honest and put the film on blast. He understood and was totally cool with that.
A few days later, I received a copy of The Untouchables, a documentary highlighting the plight of the 1995-1996 Kentucky Wildcats, created by Derek Anderson and written by Anthony Holt.
If you already received SLAM 137 you've seen my first preview of the film. (If you haven't gotten the issue yet, it's never too late.) Given a pretty tight word count, I tried boiling down the documentary to its most essential elements:
"What did Tyrese and the '96 Kentucky Wildcats have in common? Nothing…until he narrated The Untouchables, a fresh documentary chronicling the '96 Cats. Featuring nine future NBA players, it's no wonder Rick Pitino's Wildcats won an NCAA Title. What was a wonder, though, was their chemistry. In spite of limited minutes dished out to future NBA players like Ron Mercer and Nazr Mohammed, no rifts developed. In fact, as The Untouchables testifies, the group was a band of brothers, dominating as only a group of friends could.
In interviews, some '96ers claim their club as the greatest of all time, though some former UCLA Bruins might disagree. Either way, that UK team is certainly in the conversation. A conversation that Derek Anderson, Tony Delk and Antoine Walker play key parts in. A conversation The Untouchables brings to the screen."
Cute, right? But definitely not enough to really go on.
To be completely honest, the documentary was good, but nowhere near great. Tyrese's narration was pretty wack, something felt lacking and Ashley Judd could have stood to put on some nicer threads when she geared up for her interview. I joke, I joke. Still, it was cool that Ashley participated and all, her being a UK superfan, but I'm not sure Untouchables was best served by her being the opening interview in the film. It would have been a little more powerful if coach Pitino opened things up, or Antoine Walker or one of the star players from the squad.
The docu's purpose was to ask if the '95-96 UK team was the greatest college squad of all-time. In that regard, Anderson and Holt did a solid job, taking us through that season in an almost game-by-game fashion, showing us game film, interviews that occurred right after games and complementary interviews with players that took place recently. The docu was best served by not shoving the "best team" theme down our throats. The question is left open at the end; the answer ours to decide.
That wasn't the best part of the docu, though. Not by a long shot. I mean, it's fun to debate the greatness of historic teams—my people and I waste time like that constantly—but it's even better to gain an insider's perspective on one of those teams.
And, whether intentionally or as an accidental byproduct, that's exactly what Untouchables delivers.
Through the memories of Antoine Walker, Walter McCarty, Tony Delk, Mark Pope, Wayne Turner, Derek Anderson and some of the other Cats, we can feel like we were on that team, like we chilled and bowled with the crew back in Lexington. Like we were the ones who lost to UMass early in the season. Like we were the ones who got back at Calipari's UMass team later in the year with avengance. Like we were the ones who almost reached the century mark in the first half of a game against LSU. We can feel like we won a National Championship and then rode through town on a bus like returning heroes. We can feel like we're the innocent kids who didn't know how much their Ws meant to people, how much their accomplishments meant to people. We can feel Untouchable…if only for the duration of the documentary.
A documentary similair to those in ESPN's current "30 For 30″ series, The Untouchables is more comparable to this year's Kansas team than the '95-96 UK team: its parts are stars; its whole doesn't reflect that fall the time, though. Still, if you're a UK fan, or just a college fan period, you should definetely catch Untouchables.
If you want to hear a little more about the docu, you're in luck. After watching The Untouchables, I was able to catch up with Executive Producer Derek Anderson to discuss it a little bit.
SLAM: How did this project come about? How did it come to be?
Derek Anderson: First, we were just talking about our team, me and Tony Delk, Ron Mercer. We were kinda just talking. And then, we happened to look it up, like where we would consider ourselves ranked. And we looked on ESPN, and they had us ranked second best team, behind UCLA. And we were like, Wow, because when you're playing and living it, you don't really take thought of what someone else is thinking. But when you sit back after everyone saw what you've done and how you did it, we were surprised what people thought about us.
The other thing is, I played 11 years in the NBA and people still remember me playing at Kentucky. There ain't that many Kentucky fans in the world, but everyone still remember that moment when we played at Kentucky.
SLAM: Does the team still stay in touch? You said you talked to Tony?
DA: Oh yeah. We all, we play cards with each other and everything. We still hang out with each other.
SLAM: You get a sense in the movie of how close you guys were, but how close were you in your words?
DA: We were like real family. We still talk to each other. We were beyond that. That's why we made the documentary. That was one thing that was amazing. When I asked everybody what were some of their best memories, and everything was off the court. Wasn't even about having 86 against LSU at half, or beating teams by 50 points. We was all remembering us just hanging out. We wrestled against each other. We went to the movies all together, bowling, I mean, everything that everybody said was the exact same thing, and that was amazing to me. To have that many dudes, 14 years removed, remembering hanging off the court.
SLAM: What are some of your favorite memories that you didn't mention on the film?
DA: Those were it. The ones, like you said, there'd be 15 guys, maybe 13 or 14, all would go—all had to go, just because everyone just wanted to do it—to the movies. Fifteen of us going bowling—we all went bowling, though. We'd go to dinner—we went to Old Charlie's—there would be 15 of us, like every single one of the players.
SLAM: You kind of said it already, but were you surprised at all by what the guys said their favorite memories were? Everyone's talking about off the court stuff.
DA: Yeah, that's it. I mean, when you watch the documentary, that's what everyone remembers as the best time.
SLAM: How do you feel about how the film turned out?
DA: I think it went well. We did what we were supposed to do. We left something, so when people get a documentary of this, 20 years from now when people say, Who was the better team, you got people that can go back and look at it and be like, Wow, that was the greatest team that ever played. The way we beat people, we were supposed to win and we did win it. We had more all-americans, more NBA players than any other team—not only in Kentucky but in history. We did a whole lot of things that a lot of people would be proud of in Kentucky, and we're the ones who did it, so that makes me feel real good.
SLAM: One of the interesting things about the film was that you chose to have Ashley Judd leading it off…
DA: Yeah, and she did real well. She was in it. She said her true passion was Kentucky—even though she's a celebrity. So no matter what, her first love is Kentucky basketball.
SLAM: When you're a player there, are you aware that you have a big fan that's a celebrity?
DA: Nah, because when she was there, it was like, we all just hung out. You know, like she would come to the locker room; to us it was just like, This is Ashley. Everyone else is thinking, You know what? This is someone different. But not to us.
SLAM: What was the goal of the film? What do you want people to feel coming out of the theater?
DA: The dominance. To see how good one team can be, and also show why we were so good. Like its not a storyline where you say were people close together and that makes a difference. It does, if you look at how many, well Michael Jordan won, how long did it take for them to win a championship? Once he got Scottie to be there for three or four years. He had his core guys to stay there for three or four years. When Kobe and them did it, Derek Fisher, Shaq, all them guys, they were there for time, so you need some kind of cohesiveness and that's what happened to us in college. We did something that was very unique, and that was all college guys staying together. And that's what made this thing so special. Even if you didn't like Kentucky, [after watching this] you'll be like, Man, they had a good time. I see why they won.
SLAM: And like you said, everyone was into it so much, you didn't have a problem getting anybody to talk on camera?
DA: No we had everybody. Everybody was willing to do it. It was no problem.
SLAM: Best time of everyone's life on that team probably?
DA: Yep. (Laughs)

Who Should Be the New 'American Idol' Judge? Rolling Stone Ranks the Mentors
Elton John
When Sir Elton guest judged on Season Three of Idol, he proved his passion for the show and why he'd be a welcome fiesty addition to the judges' panel. After Jennifer Hudson was eliminated despite a strong performance, John spoke out, telling the press, "The three people I was really impressed with — and they just happened to be black, young female singers — all seem to be landing in the bottom three ...I find it incredibly racist.? Bonus: he'd bring the British wit the show is losing with the departure of Simon Cowell.

Even the fish didn't escape the wrath of Monday's damaging winds.
Even the fish didn't escape the wrath of Monday's damaging winds.
The larger-than-life fiberglass fish that hang from the IH 35 overpass over the San Antonio River Walk's Museum Reach were damaged by the windstorm. They hang on cables, so they took a beating.
"We lost a few fins and I believe there was an entire fish that came down," said Mindy Wallen with the San Antonio River Foundation.
She told 550 KTSA News the damage is a safety concern for pedestrians in the area. The West Bank is open, but the East Bank remains closed between Camden and Roy Smith.
"We're going to assess the damage and make the necessary repairs," said Wallen.
Meanwhile, State Farm Insurance told 550 KTSA News they've received hundreds of wind-related damage claims in the San Antonio area..
"That includes roof damage, broken windows and trees falling on cars," said Patti Kelly with State Farm Insurance.
She also has a warning for people who are looking to hire people to repair wind-damaged property.
"One thing that we see after these storms as people try to make repairs is fraudulent contractors and roofers coming into these neighborhoods," said Kelly.
She recommends double-checking any contractor with your insurance company and check references on the Better Business Bureau website.

1935 hudson pick up update.
here is a little update on the 1935 terraplane pick up i am trying to get running. Since we last talked the fuel pump and water pump rebuilt by Egge Machine, front bumber bade from Wayne G., new spark plugs wires rotor and distributor cap, gas tank refurbished and reinstalled, oil pan out-cleaned up real good and installed. the screens were dirty but in pretty good shape, new u-joints (Hagen Auto Parts) glove box door and ignition cable (Doug in Canada) recieved original back shocks waiting to be rebuit(u can rebuild the 35's) n e way getting closer. Carb rebuilt thanks to all for the help
Wow ! Looks like the motor could be up and running soon, when is the last time she ran under her own steam ?
at least 25 years and probably closer to 40. Dont know when the guy dad bought it from in Boise parked it but it was setting for some time. The horn was honked for the first time 3 weeks ago and the lights came on. first time the juices flowed through her in some time. cheersMichiganOct.2011152.JPG800 x 533 - 41K
Look forward to seeing how work on her progresses
Wow, pretty darned nice looking truck!
You know - that's another candidate for getting it running and roadworthy, patch up the holes and leave it the way it is. Total resto is great, but some Hudson cars just scream to be left original. I know several like that, like a 1934 Hudson in Massachusetts for example.

Yeah, I'll admit its a tough call- its nice enough to run as is, as a "survivor"- but I still salivate when I see a pic of Press Kale's 2 tone red '34. Pic is on my office computer, and I'll post it Monday- unless somebody beats me to it!

Can't stop myself.
Much credit to Terry on how he is handling himself and his needs for this Terraplane. He is using multiple hobby web sites to get his answers to questions and to find parts. He asks the right questions and is prompt and courteous with replies as well as paying for parts he needs. He made the road trip up to see Kale's truck and had the long discussion comparing '34-35 differences he saw there. Perhaps he learned some of this from his father who owned the truck first. Quick learner. It has been a pleasure corresponding with him as well as doing business with him.

While I am firmly in the 'run it as a survivor' camp this example looks pretty cool Does anyone know how many pick ups were built ?

At this time there are no break-downs of how many of each commercial model were made. Only thing we have are 1,281 commercial models were shipped from the factory. This includes a Panel truck (body by York-Hoover) and the pickup (body by Detwiler). Hudson also furnished a chassis for those wanting custom bodies.

Excuse me please for asking this question again in this topic, as I have asked it previously.
Does anyone know what happened to Phil Roskie's '35 Terraplane pickup that was known as "the Veggie Wagon" after Phil passed away some years back? It was an excellent unrestored original. Thanks -
Nice truck, I think it looks great the way it is. I'd drive it:)
Here is one I did some work on.

Yes you do know it. When it was my dad's car, in primered tan, the four door sedan. Remember? I finished up about half of the sheet metal work that needed completed and got it ready for paint, then it was sold. Walt bought it and cut it in half, made it a truck! :ohmy: I was surprised to hear that. But I thought it came out good. Looks very much like a '34 truck. Plus, it's on the road again. A month or two after that photo was taken I made some skirts for it. Which are probably now on the car.
It's in Southern California, Newport area? I think? -

"Very stock bodied"?? Good, it fooled ya'.
And yes, 350 built by John Segady. I believe one of, if not the last one he built. Automatic trans, nine inch Ford rear-end. Coil-over Mustang II front suspension. The wires were off of my '78 Vette. I think they look good painted. They were chrome when he bought the car from dad. -
Wow, really got you guys going. I purchased the hood emblem off ebay yesterday for a small kings ransom but the one on mine the wings were missing. the one i purchased is "pateenad" pretty good so it will look good on mine. anyway, the water pump should be back from Egge Machine sometime this week and we will see if she will blow a little smoke out her tail pipe. dont forget i still need a right front brake cable. cheers.
Hi, stumbled across this page. I believe I have a Terraplane commercial produced without a rear body. Actually called into Press' place and saw the vehicle pictured above when on holidays to the US from Australia. Press confirmed this for me. As far as I know it was imported to Brisbane and the van part added at Athol Hedges Body Builders. It went to Warwick in Queensland as an ambulance. I purchased it in 1981 and eventually got it on the road about 12 yrs ago.
Pictures are on http://www.myspace.com/harryshudson
There are also a lot of photos on Flickr. It appears It has a following amongst ambulance buffs. Do a search for Terraplane ambulance.
Any infromation you may have would be great.

Harry, Hudson offered "cab-chassis" sales combinations as have all manufacturers then and still today. No specific rear platform, bed or body is supplied so that the purchaser can configure the vehicle to his particular intended use. In your case this was an ambulance. And surely one of very few, if not the only one.
I would be curious if you can comment on whether the full length Terraplane sedan floor is bolted to the frame rails of your ambulance. The full floor was present in the US Terraplane pickups under the pickup bed. Comment?
Enjoyed your other photo sets as well. If you still have access to those '33 and 34 cars, be sure to salvage the water pumps! And whatever else you can bring home. Enjoyed the photo of the '36 Aussie "Sloper" Terraplane. Y'all had all those coachbuilt bodies down there, some of which were closely styled to our US vehicles and others of which were unique. -
The cab floor is steel and hasn't been cut. The rear floor is wood. Much of the timber work is original except the back door and floor support.mI had my eye on the 33 Essex as it was local but it disappeared and no one knows where it went or have come across it since. regards,

I'm not talking about looking DOWN at the floor from inside your truck. Of course that is flat and wood. I'm talking about looking UP at the original sedan stamped steel floor that is or may be bolted to the frame. This would only be visible from underneath. All the early Terraplane trucks were made this way (I owned a '34 pickup) and I seem to recall a '36 or '37 owner saying his pickup also had the sedan floor underneath the bed of the truck. Check it out. -

I estimate there are some 100 or so people who have dropped out of the club and those SN have not popped up elsewhere. Many people do not bother to give Charlotte their SN so we can't track them.
I think there are probably another 100 that people have who are not club members. Some hot rodders, modified, etc.
All of these numbers include utility coupes, utes, and panels.

Hello Harry,
Nice work! What a handsom truck! I was looking at the photos on your myspace page and noticed a 37 in the weeds that caught my attention. (The photo named/titled Inverell). It looks as though the truck in the photo might have the comercial hood ornamant still on the vehicle. I am restoring a 37 pickup and would LOVE to get my hands on that hood ornament. Do you know if it's for sale? email@example.com cell phone 415-308-8858. remove the x's from my email and pleaes follow any prompts you receive from my spamfilter Spamarrest. Thank you for your time. -
Thank you Uncle Josh for shareing the truck registry information.
Have a good day.
Lee O'Dell -
The 35 is running on here own power. Started it a couple days ago. After she blew out the cobwebs I can reach through the window and just hit the button. It purrs like a kitten. Now to get her off the jack stands and on the street. Thanks to everyone for your help. Excitement beyond belief.
Congratulations! I'm at the very the other end of the oddesy, just getting started. Any chance you had a moment to check my previous reply/post regarding the hood ornament on the 37 in the weeds?
John C. -
John the photo is more than 10 yrs old. I have heard the owner of the property has died. I have to find a local to drive out to see if it is still there. Inverell is about 500 miles from where I live so it may take a while. regards Harry.
Hello Hary,
Wow, 10 years...brobably missed out. You are very kind to even attempt and send someone by. Given how hard these are to come by I'll cling to any glimmer of hope I can. Many thanks in advance and I completely understand if it's too much hassle.
In case you (or whoever goes to look) is not familiar with the commercial hood ornament there is a good photo on this website(http://www.kisberenterprises.com/37hudson.html). It's the 7th photo out of 9 for Mr. kisbers 37 Terraplane. He has an amazing collection.
Regards, John C. -
Thanks for posting the figures Uncle Josh !

Dalbec, Forsythe named all-NCHA
Juniors Pat Dalbec and Jeff Forsythe were both named to the All-NCHA First Team. For Forsythe, this is the third straight season where he has been named to the first team, while Dalbec is receiving All-NCHA honors for the first time, having received honorable mention last season.
The Northern Collegiate Hockey Association has announced its end-of-season awards for the 2012-13 men's hockey season and a pair of Yellowjackets have garnered recognition.
Juniors Pat Dalbec (Superior) and Jeff Forsythe (Campbell River, British Columbia/Timberline Secondary) were both named to the All-NCHA First Team. For Forsythe, this is the third straight season where he has been named to the first team, while Dalbec is receiving All-NCHA honors for the first time, having received honorable mention last season.
Dalbec is the leading scorer for the Yellowjackets, just as he was during his sophomore season. Through 25 regular season games, Dalbec has a team-best 15 goals and 27 points. His eight power play goals also lead the team. For his career Dalbec has played 82 games for the Yellowjackets, scoring 36 goals and 32 assists for 68 points.
Forsythe is the top-scoring defenseman for the Yellowjackets with five goals, 12 assists and 17 points. His 17 points currently ranks him third on the Yellowjackets, despite missing a pair of games in December with an injury. In 79 games with the Yellowjackets, Forsythe has scored 21 goals and 28 assists for 49 points.
"Both of these players have been very productive for us since they arrived on campus," UWS Coach Dan Stauber said. "They both bring so much to the table and are a big part of everything that we try to do on the ice every day. They both work extremely hard at their games but also put in a lot of time on their schoolwork, which shows with the academic awards they've won as well. They are both very deserving of this and I congratulate them on these awards."

Great white sharks off California will receive endangered species protection while experts spend a year studying whether the apex predators warrant being listed by the state as endangered.
The California Fish and Game Commission voted unanimously Wednesday to advance the candidacy of white sharks to be considered for the increased protection, and the study period will include an attempt to gather better information regarding how many white sharks utilize state waters.
It's already illegal to fish for white sharks off California, but the extra protection will include a ban on incidental take by commercial gillnet fishermen.
The commission's vote is being hailed by conservation groups and those who believe white shark numbers are dangerously low and dwindling, and criticized by commercial fishermen and those who say not enough is known to warrant placing white sharks on the state's endangered species list.
"We are thrilled," Ashley Blacow, Pacific policy director for Oceana, told The Associated Press. "California continues to be a leader in ocean conservation."
State Assemblyman Paul Fong (D-Mountain Vew), told the San Jose Mercury News: "The loss of the great white shark from the coast of California would not be an isolated tragedy, but may be the start of a much larger decline of our ocean's health."
A study two years ago by UC Davis and Stanford University's Hopkins Marine Station determined that there were about 220 adult white sharks that utilize California waters during much of the year. That alarmingly low number helped inspire efforts to secure more protection for a predator that plays a key role in maintaining the health of the marine ecosystem.
However, that number is an estimate and the study was conducted on sharks that feed seasonally at Northern California elephant seal rookeries. (There's another group of white sharks that utilize Guadalupe Island, 165 miles west of Baja California, as a seasonal feeding ground.)
Some scientists believe that not all adult white sharks off California congregate seasonally at elephant seal rookeries, because of a booming California sea lion population throughout state waters, particularly off Southern California.
Christopher Lowe, director of the Shark Lab at California State University-Long Beach, and a longtime white shark researcher, believes the white shark population is actually increasing.
This is due, in large part, to protections already in place for white sharks and marine mammals such as seals and sea lions, which are the chief prey of adult white sharks. These protections include a white shark fishing ban and the removal of nearshore gillnets, in the 1990s, which reduced the impact on juvenile white sharks.
Lowe told the Fish and Game Commission: "It is my professional opinion, based on the best available scientific data, that the petition to list northeast Pacific white sharks as threatened or endangered is not warranted at this time. In fact, I would argue that white sharks represent an excellent example of one of California's greatest conservation success stories."
During the one-year study period, Monterey Bay Aquarium, the only facility in the world to have successfully captured and temporarily displayed white sharks, will not exhibit one of the predators.
But the aquarium is supportive of the decision by the commission to evaluate whether the northeast Pacific population of white sharks warrants further protection.
Dr. Chris Harrold, director of research programs at the aquarium, said in a statement: "We are encouraged by the growing public awareness and concern for the fate of all sharks. We see the current process as another positive sign that attitudes toward sharks are shifting to recognize their vital contributions to the health of ocean ecosystems."
For now, researches and gillnet fishermen will have to apply to the Department of Fish and Wildlife for permits to tag or accidentally capture a shark, which is expected to hold up fishing efforts off California, at least temporarily.

Male segment 1 Average SAT Female segment | Countries represented! From New Orleans I Roman Catholic Class of 2004 sets new Loyola standard By Betsy Schmitt Staff writer From as far away as Sri Lanka, the freshmen came to Loyola with optimistic attitudes about college and campus life. The 870 new students make up the largest class in recent history. The average population of students at Loyola is 5,500. Three-thousand-five-hundred are undergraduates. According to preliminary figures by the Office of Admissions, freshmen comprise 24.8 percent of undergraduates. "As the orientation program has progressed I see that the incoming class will set the pace for Loyola this year," said Percy Marchand, business sophomore, Black Student Union president and new student orientation group leader. There was an increase by five percent in ethnic diversity in this year's incoming freshmen over last year. According to the preliminary figures, 50 percent of freshmen are from out-of-state. The numbers also show more students are coming from Texas, New York and Puerto Rico. Hispanics make up 12.4 percent and blacks make up 9.4 percent of the class. The number of students specifying their religious preference as Roman Catholic was 62 percent, up almost five percent from 1999. This class may even be smarter than some of their predecessors. Test scores from the top of the freshman class outrank last year's scores. The average ACT score for the freshman class is 26. The average grade point average is 3.56. Most of the new freshman class is made up of women. They make up 63.2 percent of the class. This percentage has not fluctuated in five years. Incoming men have stayed constant around 37 percent. According to the Office of Admissions, Recycling program rescued from trash; clean future ahead By Jennifer Kloete Contributing writer Program cleaned up to keep pests out of res halls After a few changes, the recycling program, sponsored by the Loyola Green Club and Environmental Action, will continue this semester. Rosina Roibal, music education senior and president of both groups, is the driving force behind the recycling program. She said, communication will be the key in making the program work this time. Last year, plastic bins for recycling aluminum cans were placed on each floor of Buddig Hall and the New Residence Hall. Roibal said that one student volunteer from each floor was assigned to periodically dump the bins into a dumpster outside of the residential halls. Problems arose when the bins began to overflow. "Strong odors came from the bins because students were not rinsing out the cans before putting them in the bins," said Robert Reed, director of Residential Life. Reed said that insects began to gather near the bins because the cans were not getting picked up. Boggs Center director resigns; interim in place By Elizabeth Stuart Stall Writer Mary Ann Coriey resigned her position of director of the Lindy Boggs Center for Literacy. Michael Cowan, Institute for Ministry professor, is die interim director. Coriey said she resigned in late June. "There was not an adequate infrastructure at Loyola to support a national literacy center," Coriey said. "I think Loyola's intentions were all good. I don't believe Loyola fully understood what it takes to house a national literacy center," she said. However, Coriey said she believes it will improve and be more productive in the future. "The promise of die center is there," she said. Coriey came to New Orleans in March 1999 after finishing work she did with the National Adult Literacy and Learning Center in Washington, D.C. She said part of the reason she decided to resign from the center here was due to her frustration in being unable to achieve what she planned in a timely manner. "I think that an individual has to have a fit with an organization," she said. "I tried a lot of different ways and realized it wasn't for me."

Corneal Abrasions
What is a corneal abrasion?
A corneal abrasion is a scratch or injury to the cornea, the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye. This is a very common occurrence in children.What causes a corneal abrasion?
There are many things that can cause an abrasion to the cornea. The more common causes include the following:- foreign bodies in the eye (such as dirt, pebbles, insects)
- scratch from a toy or fingernail
- contact lenses in older children
What are the symptoms of a corneal abrasion?
The following are the most common symptoms of a corneal abrasion. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:- pain and redness in the eye
- tearing of that eye
- pain when the child looks at a light
- excessive blinking in the affected eye
- a younger child may hold that eye shut
How is a corneal abrasion diagnosed?
Diagnosis is usually made based on a complete medical history and physical examination of your child's eye. Local anesthetic drops may be placed in the eye in order to examine the child. In addition, your child's physician may use a fluorescein stain to help confirm the diagnosis. This is done by placing a small amount of a dye in the child's eye. The stain does not hurt the child. A special light is then used to look at the surface of the cornea, and any abrasion or scratch can be seen.Treatment for corneal abrasion:
Specific treatment for a corneal abrasion will be determined by your child's physician based on:- your child's age, overall health, and medical history
- extent of the injury
- your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
- expectations for the course of the injury
- your opinion or preference
- If a foreign body is seen in the eye, it may be removed with a small cotton applicator, or by washing the eye out with a saline solution.
- An antibiotic ointment may be placed in the eye.
- A patch over the eye may be used to help decrease your child's level of discomfort. A patch is usually required for 12 to 24 hours following a corneal abrasion.
- Close follow-up with your child's physician is needed to assure that the abrasion heals completely.
- Severe abrasions or cuts into the cornea may be managed by an eye specialist because of the increased risk of damage to the eye.

Great little case I think. https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=72F4C9ADCF082D7C&id=72F4C9ADCF082D7C%21154&sc=Photos#cid=72F4C9ADCF082D7C&id=72F4C9ADCF082D7C%21154&sc=Photos https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=72f4c9adcf082d7c&id=72F4C9ADCF082D7C%21116&Bsrc=Share&Bpub=SDX.SkyDrive&sc=Photos#cid=72F4C9ADCF082D7C&id=72F4C9ADCF082D7C%21155&sc=Photos https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=72F4C9ADCF082D7C&id=72F4C9ADCF082D7C%21154&sc=Photos#cid=72F4C9ADCF082D7C&id=72F4C9ADCF082D7C%21156&sc=Photos https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=72F4C9ADCF082D7C&id=72F4C9ADCF082D7C%21154&sc=Photos#cid=72F4C9ADCF082D7C&id=72F4C9ADCF082D7C%21153&sc=Photos
Work in progress installing new SSDs. Next, AX1200i with sleeved cables and H100i + some Corsair fans to replace the old ones. Then, GTX 7xx card(s).
It's mad how people get 680 sli/xfire and still have a single low res monitor lol. I'm not saying you but some idiots have sli 680 with a single 24" monitor.
One 23" 120Hz with GTX 480 atm. Something like 2x GTX 680 would be ok to get that 120fps average in reasonable amount of games. Very likely going to have 2x GTX 780 just for the sake of future.
