Metabolic Resistance Training Routine For Weight Loss
If you find yourself struggling to fit in a fitness routine but still want to fit in an effective fitness routine that focuses on fat loss, then metabolic resistance training or MRT is probably your best bet. MRT is an intense form of working out that is known to increase muscle mass, quickly burn fat and improve your overall fitness level. The main goal of this type of routine is to maximize your caloric expenditure and at the same time increase your metabolic rate. There are multiple ways to organize your MRT routine; however, circuit training is a fairly easy approach. If you are trying to plan your MRT routine, here are some tips for effectively performing this type of exercise.
Keep up your intensity. You will not be able to create a metabolic debt by not giving it your all. You have to look at the total effort you are putting in and not just the effort you are putting into one set of your multiple set workout. We all know that some sections of your workout will be more intense, but you do not want the less intense sessions and rest breaks taking over your fitness routine. You need to keep your heart rate up and still maintain an effective resistance training routine. So, do not slack off on your speed or your weight training, if you want to get those quick results.
Short workout intervals. You want to maintain a high intensity and your form at the same time, so having quick bursts of exercise would make sense. In order to get the most from your MRT routine, you have to plan your fitness routine as multiple quick bouts of physical activity. You can not do an hour of this exercise and expect to keep your form perfect. Also, the aim here is to have bursts of anaerobic exercise, which is better done in short terms.
The proper equipment. Many people overlook this important component in their MRT routines. You could try and get away with using minimal equipment in your MRT routines, but it would probably become boring fairly quick. Using your own body weight in your resistance training routines can limit the types of exercises you can do. You should try using kettlebells, medicine balls and other free weights to spice up your routine and expand the types of exercises you can perform.
Adequate Space. Space can also limit your exercise selections. It can be hard to swing a kettlebell over your head when your ceilings are only 6 ft high or doing lunges when you only have 2 ft of available free space. You have to make sure you set aside enough room to properly execute each movement without hitting the ceiling, walls or other people. You also want to have enough space to store any of your equipment so that you are not tripping or falling over it during your workout.
There is a lot of planning involved in creating an effective and safe MRT routine. It is most likely more thought than you would have assumed before beginning your MRT routine; however, if you keep in mind the five elements above, you will be off to a great start.

Ultimate Chevy K10 Revival Part 9Posted in Project Vehicles on December 12, 2012
Project trucks are never truly done. However, they need to stretch their legs at some point. It's that time for our reborn Ultimate K10.
Regular readers know that this truck was originally built as a street-legal hardcore crawler for the 2005 Ultimate Adventure. It had 39-inch BFGs, Dynatrac axles, a Ram Jet 350 crate motor, a TCI Turbo 350, an Offroad Design Doubler, and other premium parts that allowed it to conquer treacherous trails in the Midwest and Southeast. The truck returned from that trip battered and bruised. It appeared at a few shows and then went into storage. Registration and insurance lapsed, and parts were cannibalized for other projects. Ultimately, Editor-in-Chief Rick Péwé took the reins on the Chevy and took the truck as-is (engine, transmission, frame, crumpled body, and not much else) to revive the fabled beast.
Reader interest had remained high, even when the Stepside was rotting outdoors. We decided to bring the K10 back to life, although with more of a daily-driver personality. GM Truck Center (GMTC) graciously took on the rebuild; the shop had done the bulk of the original work in 2005. GMTC owner Henrik Hairapetian said from the get-go that we'd be better off finding another truck—preferably a K20—and swapping the Ram Jet 350 into it. But just as you can't bulldoze a registered historic landmark, we wanted to retain the K10's frame and custom-reinforced cab for nostalgic reasons. GMTC's bodymen are still cussing us.
This article addresses loose ends, the five percent of the job that takes more than 25 percent of the total time.
Affordable replacement parts from LMC Truck were a main reason for taking on this rebirth. In addition to new sheetmetal, we also added basic black LMC door panels and a carpet kit with an insulation pad to replace to former rubber mat. LMC also has replacement dash pads; GMTC recovered the existing, cracked pad since it was already contoured around the cage's windshield hoop.
To improve daily drivability, GMTC created a custom bench seat. The shop test-fit several stock Chevy benches, then modified one's frame to clear the triple-stick shifters for the swapped-in Offroad Design Doubler. GMTC covered it in black "pleather," keeping with our underlying simple-is-better approach. Three sets of DJ Safety 3-inch lap belts help accommodate a third passenger when necessary.
Before the creature comforts were installed, powertrain details were sorted out so that the Chevy could get into the paint booth under its own power. These included getting the proper Painless Performance pigtail for the Ram Jet 350 crate motor's three-wire alternator (PN 70920) and installing an Auto Meter hall-effect speedo sender to convert the mechanical signal to an electric pulse. (Our Auto Meter Ultra II electric speedo can be calibrated, so we don't have to mess with changing transfer case gears to compensate for the new First gear ratio and tire-size change from 39s to 37s.)
Different driveshafts were also necessary. This is one area where we've learned that using a 4x4 specialist is usually better than being a guinea pig for a local "expert."
Based on the Chevy's wheelbase, engine, lift, and tire size, Tom Wood (of Tom Wood's Custom Drive Shafts) recommended a proven-effective setup. U-joints are the usual weak link, so Wood began with 1350s, which he rates 37.5 percent stronger than 1310 joints. Then he added upgrades to keep the front shaft from binding or failing at full suspension droop. The transfer-case end was built with a 1350 CV since the shaft operates at greater than 15 degrees. Wood machines the CV castings to get 30-plus degrees of nonbinding performance. The fore end was hot-rodded with a 32-spline long-travel slip joint. This gives about 4 inches of usable stroke. Wood included the necessary NP205 flange and front Dana 60 1350 yoke to make the job bolt-on.
The rear driveshaft was more straightforward: beefy 31⁄2-inch tubing with 1350 yokes. In-depth information on the various driveshaft options is available on the Tom Wood's website, www.4xshaft.com.
Once the K10 was painted, GMTC added the finishing details. First were the 37x12.50-17 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZs on M/T Classic II aluminum wheels. McGard lug nuts and wheel locks secure the rolling stock.
Aftermarket bumper options for old Chevys are somewhat sparse. We wanted simple, strong, and affordable ways to mount a winch on the front and receiver on the rear. GMTC used this opportunity to create a line of retro flat-plate bumpers. Features include 1⁄2-inch-thick vertical plates that bolt to the frame, surrounded by water-jetted 3⁄8-inch steel pieces. We didn't opt for the available upgrades, such as recessed light cutouts or tabs.
The GMTC front bumper serves as a stout winch mount for a Warn 9.5xp, rated at 9,500 pounds. The previous Warn winches on this vehicle proved their worth on the Ultimate Adventure, and the 9.5xp is well suited for this hybrid 1⁄2-3⁄4-ton truck thanks to its 125 feet of cable and 6hp motor.
One of our other goals was maximizing bed space in this standard cab Stepside. We previously had the fuel tank and a rear winch bracket in the bed, compromising gear space. Because most organized events require a fullsize spare, we wanted it bumper-mounted. GMTC added a swing-away carrier for the 37-inch Mickey Thompson using an EMS Offroad Tire Carrier Kit. Designed with do-it-yourselfers in mind, this kit includes a latch/catch rated at 2,000 pounds, a hinge assembly complete with spindle and tapered roller bearings, a polyurethane stop, and a mounting plate that's drilled for popular five-, six-, and eight-lug patterns. GMTC also mounted a Hi-Lift 60-inch X-Treme jack to the swing-out carrier.
A couple minor details kept the Ultimate Revival K10 from making its maiden voyage prior to deadline. The exhaust needs to be patched back to the trail-rashed Flowmasters, and we'll protect the bed with Line-X. Then it will hit the trail. We'll likely give readers a heads-up on our website (www.4wheeloffroad.com) and on Facebook (www.facebook.com/4wheeloffroad).

Item Description
Letter, J. [Joseph H. Trego] to Dear Alice [Alice Trego]
Author: Trego, Joseph Harrington
Date: ca. September 1857
Joseph H. Trego, en route via steamboat to Kansas City, wrote to his wife Alice in Rock Island, Illinois. Trego commented on the unpredictable and perilous conditions of steamboat travel on the Missouri River due to snags and sandbars, but despite these, admitted that the journey itself had "little to claim his attention." He feared that his wife might have an accident in his absence, and asked her to wait until he returned to "indulge her spirit." Trego, though he missed his family, was comforted by their miniatures (small portraits).

Martha Sawyers: Army Correspondent
- From the book, Forty Illustrators and How They Work.
"Miss Sawyer had lived and painted in Peiping until the advancing tide of Japanese aggression had all but shut off her escape to Shanghai. Indeed, the war was raging at the Marco Polo bridge two weeks before her departure."
The other day I received the generous contribution of this portrait of Gilbert Bundy, courtesy of his nephew, Jeff Holloway. Bundy was a war artist with the U.S. Army in the Pacific theatre during WWII. He experienced horrific frontline combat first hand on many of the most infamous beaches while accompanying the advancing American troops.
This piece being dated 1944, one has to wonder if Bundy and Sawyers meet by chance while they were both stationed in those embattled regions of the Far East?

I find that a rather haunting portrait.Knowing Mr Bundy's later fate,I can't help thinking the whole story is there in his eyes.ReplyDelete
Martha Sawyers work is just outstanding. I can't say enough about the quality and skill this woman displayed in these examples. I find this to be a prime example that if you were qualified for the job, gender should not, and usually did not determine the assignment. I am pleased to see that these excellent women illustrators were also given the opportunity to illustrate top assignments. Thanks Leif, for putting Sawyers and other top quality illustrators back in the spotlight where they belong. I find it ironic that these woman and others were successful illustrators in their day, at a time when many refer to as being "a male oriented society". Yet today, when woman have successfully found opportunity in almost every field they pursue, we hear almost nothing about the successful woman illustrators of the past. Seems kinda upside down.ReplyDelete

Good post, Leif. First, would like to know more about Gilbert Bundy. He had a marvelous, light hearted, style on the usual editorial and ad assignments that I've seen. What about his 'later fate'? I may be able to find a few old Bundy clips....I'll check. Martha Sawyers....totally agree with Tom regarding her skills and talent. I've always been amazed at the qualities and character of artists who worked under greater than normal hardships and difficult locations. The war artists a good example. I think most are true heros.ReplyDelete

STAGE TUBE: THE ADDAMS FAMILY's Jennifer Fogarty Discusses Family Troubles and More!
In anticipation of the new Addams Family tour coming to the Auditorium Theatre in Rochester, anchors at ABC 13 spoke to cast member Jennifer Fogarty. Fogarty, who plays Wednesday Addams, talks about her character, "the princess of darkness," being able to relate to the Addams Family, and lots more.
Click below to see the interview!
The first national tour of The Addams Family launched a few months before the Broadway production closed in December 2011. Following the disappointingly short run on Broadway, the production team changed the song order, added new ones, and even changed the focus of the show. So just like the first national tour was almost a completely different show than the original Broadway one, so this new tour, opening February 1, will be a revision of the first national tour. Not only is the production different, but so is the cast. Replacing the first tour's Douglas Sills (Tony nom., The Scarlet Pimpernel) as Gomez is Shakespearean actor Jesse Sharp, and Keleen Snowgreen will replace Sara Gettelfinger in the role of Morticia.

Two Jewish men, "Sid" and "Al," were sitting in a Mexican restaurant. Sid
asked Al, "Are there any people of our faith born and raised in Mexico?"
Al replied, "I don't know, let's ask our waiter."
When the waiter came by, Al asked him, "Are there any Mexican Jews?" and the
waiter said, "I don't know Senor, I'll ask the cooks."
He returned from the kitchen in a few minutes and said "No sir, no Mexican
Al wasn't really satisfied with that and asked, "Are you absolutely sure?"
The waiter, realizing he was dealing with "Gringos" gave the expected
answer, "I will check again, Senor!" and went back into the kitchen.
While the waiter was away, Sid said, "I find it hard to believe that there
are no Jews in Mexico. Our people are scattered everywhere."
The waiter returned and said, "Senor, the head cook said there is no Mexican
"Are you certain?" Al asked once again, "I can't believe there are no
Mexican Jews!"
"Senor, I ask EVERYONE," replied the exasperated waiter. "All we have is
orange Jews, prune Jews, tomato Jews and grape Jews."

GENEVA – The Kane County Board has signed off on a plan to transform the Settlers Hill landfill into a regional outdoor recreation area.
Tuesday, the County Board approved by a vote of 16-7 the master plan proposed for the redevelopment of the Fabyan Property, a 700-acre swatch of land on the far east side of Geneva that includes two closed landfills, the old Kane County Jail site and land managed by the Kane County Forest Preserve District.
The measure also was approved earlier Tuesday by the Kane County Forest Preserve District.
"We need to start somewhere," said County Board member Jesse Vazquez, D-Aurora. "And this is a very well-thought-out plan."
The plan has been the subject of debate and discussion for more than a year. Supporters of the project believe the plan will guide the redevelopment of the landfills from eyesores to amenities for the Tri-Cities.
The plan calls for trails for cross country running and mountain biking; a hilltop observatory; a winter recreation area with ice skating ponds; a golf course; and an outdoor music venue along Kirk Road.
Since 2011, the plan has been revised to reflect wishes of county and forest preserve district officials while responding to concerns from the public.
Many of those concerns centered on proposals for recreational activities within the woods at the Fabyan Forest Preserve. The approved master plan removed all recreational activities from those woods besides a bike trail from the Fox River to Settlers Hill.
Critics also were mollified by a promise to establish a volunteer working group to develop a woodland restoration and management plan for Fabyan Woods.
Officials have said that group, which was intended to include members of the public, would meet over the winter to create a scope of work for management of the woods.
Before the vote Tuesday, three county residents addressed the board, saying they did not believe the Fabyan Woods working group was being created fast enough or with enough public participation. They urged the County Board to postpone the vote until the woodlands management plan could be created.
Some on the board continued to oppose the plan.
Board member Jim Mitchell, R-North Aurora, asked the board to remove the old jail site from the plan. He believed including the site would make it difficult for the county to sell the land and use the proceeds to pay debt incurred when the county built the new jail in St. Charles Township several years ago.
A majority of the board rejected Mitchell's reasoning, noting a master plan would not preclude the county from doing anything with any piece of the Fabyan Property.
Others on the board said they believed the county had not sufficiently addressed pollution concerns, and they believed the county was "rushing the project."
County Board member Mike Donahue, R-Geneva, who led development of the Fabyan Property master plan, said the effort likely will take a "90-day hiatus" until after the November elections.
Donahue said he believes work can be resumed early next year on the project, including the design of such particular elements as cross country running trails.
"The adoption of the master plan is really only the first step in a long process," Donahue said.

What are the long term effects of concussions? Sauk Valley Media assistant sports editor Christopher Heimerman spent most of the summer trying to figure that out.
One question that wasn't asked was whether concussions would eventually kill Super Sunday.
Earlier this week, Ravens strong safety Bernard Pollard thought aloud that the league wont' be around in 20 years, because the effects of concussions and the ensuing rule changes caused by head injuries will gradually kill the league.
That's hard to imagine at this point. The NFL is the Tyrannosaurus Rex of professional sports.
Fans – many of them fantasy owners – will flock to TVs for 17 weeks to watch pretty much any matchup, even if it's two bottom-feeders vying for draft position.
The big day draws everyone. Even people who haven't watched a single game all season will park their rear ends in recliners and watch every minute, even if their attention only peaks during commercials.
It truly is the only sporting event that engages audiences from all walks of life and obligates them to make an appointment with their big screens.
It's a cultural event. It's America's big night. It seems like everyone gets involved. Heck, most everyone in the SVM office Friday had on one colored jersey or another.
So, what if it goes away? What are we left with?
Some long for the days when baseball was king of the country's sports conscience.
You know, the father passing down his knowledge of the four-seam fastball and knuckleball to his admiring son.
The entire family decked out in team gear for a day at the park. Hot dogs, beer, etc.
The only problem with that scenario is baseball is made up of 100s of days like that. The World Series, for all its glamour, is at least four nights. It's hard to capture and recapture that once-in-a-year feeling on multiple days.
Every few years, a Game 7 scenario might occur, but that day could be in the middle of the week, and casual viewers will only have a couple of days to prepare their schedules to watch.
The Super Bowl tells you a year in advance when it will happen. No matter the weather, no matter the teams, no matter anything short of natural disaster or national emergency.
The problem with MLB could be said for the NBA and NHL, whose own fans admit that the seasons are too long with too many teams followed by playoffs that drag too long into the summer.
The summer American is on vacation – that includes being on vacation from rabid fandom.
NASCAR fans call out that the Daytona 500 pulls people in also, but I don't think it transcends the total market nearly as much as the NFL.
So, what fills that void if the Super Bowl disappears?
I don't have the answer.
Maybe in 20 years, we will just get off the couch and find something better to do.

Nine months ago, Giants fan Bryan Stow traveled to LA with friends to see his team take on their arch rivals at Dodger Stadium on March 31. The group was attacked by two men wearing Dodger gear following the game.
On Monday, for the first time, those friends gave a description of the savage attack.
"He was punched with a haymaker in the side of the head," said Stow friend Corey Maciel. "First thing that hit the ground was the back of his head, and I watched his head bounce off the asphalt, and heard it."
During the worst of the attack, Macial said he and another friend ran to help Stow.
"Jeff and I actually got to him right about the same time, and jumped on top of him (Stow) covered him up. Pleading for these guys to stop."
On Monday night the NBC news magazine Rock Center aired a special report about Stow. Stow's family allowed cameras into his rehab center.
In the report Dr. Nancy Snyderman walks up to Stow is who sitting on a bed and introduces herself. He responds by asking, "How are you?"
When she responds that she is "doing very well thank you," Stow says "That's good."
"Honestly, I saw his CT scan before I met him," says Snyderman, " and I didn't think his CT scan could exist in somebody who survived an attack. It was so stunningly abnormal. So I was surprised he was doing as well as he was."
"To say that he's disabled, I think that's a given," says Snyderman. "The question will be, how much will he be able to take care of himself, and we're years out from knowing that."

Blue Planet Solutions
Sadly, our company was born out of tragedy.
Millions of gallons of oil already threatened the Gulf Coast and Eastern Seaboard when New Orleans businessman John Houghtaling met actor and environmentalist Kevin Costner and his longtime friend and business partner, Patrick Smith. Houghtaling was looking for a solution and Costner had spent the past 15 years investing in a centrifuge technology that would make it possible for the petroleum industry to operate safely, without threatening the environment with oil spills. Having already been proven a successful tool for oil recovery on smaller scale oil clean-up operations, the marriage between this environmental technology and the drive and perseverance found in Kevin, John and Patrick marked a crucial turning point in finding a solution to this cataclysmic event.
From its inception, Ocean Therapy Solutions' technology has been designed as a first line of defense for oil spills. Our devices are able to collect crude oil as soon as a spill occurs, helping to avoid the devastating and irreversible environmental damage that sadly has become all too common in recent years.
Blue Planet Solutions was formed as the parent company to Ocean Therapy Solutions. BPS will be responisble for applying the same prinicples used in the Gulf oil spill cleanup effort to the global markets outside of the United States.
All of the major oil companies, environmental organizations (government/private/non-profit), shipping and marine industry as well as all other oil recovery systems and organizations.
feel free to be creative in all areas but please consider our core capabilities and future markets into the design.
1) Our oil water separation device accomplishes separation results in both purity and volume in the most cost effective manner that has not been duplicated by any other comparable system
2) we have paved the way for the reform of oil spill recovery systems and practices. Governement and private industry alike are turning to us for assistance in devising appropriate techniques and standards for state of the art oil spill mitigation
-Needs to apply to a broad range of environmentally friendly energy applications. Also It must be internationaly recognizable (not just United States)

Payments solution providers The Members Group in Des Moines, Iowa, and CO-OP Financial Services in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., have rolled out a collaborative advertising initiative to promote their partnership that was forged earlier this year.
The partnership said it is working to introduce products and services to the credit union market such as payment solutions, mobile banking and payment products, EMV chip card technologies, cardholder support services, fraud prevention strategies and consulting services.
To visually promote the partnership, executives from The Members Group and CO-OP teamed up to design a new graphic that was patterned after a vintage "seal of approval." The graphic carries the logos of both companies in the center of a medallion-shaped logo surrounded by the copy, "Leaders in Innovation," in circular typeset.
The new graphic was introduced to credit union audiences in recently published display ads. The graphic will reappear on a smaller scale in the companies' individual ads and in a variety of print and digital marketing materials.

Worst experience ever. Ordered on 16/08/2017 and estimated ship date was 21/08/2017, it's 06/09/2017 now and there is still no info when item will be shipped. Tried to contact pixels.com twice via contact form, no answer. Charger supposed to be gift for my father's birthday on 09/09/2017 but you managed to ruin it. Since I tried to contact You via contact form, and got no result. I hope that you'll read this comment and return me my money, since you failed to deliver product which is now useless to me because you weren't able to provide any info for couple of weeks

I bought this for my sister who is graduating soon. She spends a lot of time on her cell phone, and I thought this would be a personal and usefu giftl. The image is a bit dark but over all nice quality. The charger came with some charge (blue light came on). It looks easy to use, and I'm eager to see how my sister likes it!
The original painting is in a private collection in Vienna, Austria. I like to add some basic information for the names in the title - Fomorii: In Irish legend, a race of (one-eyed) demonic beings who lived in Ireland and fought off successive waves of settlers.
THE MYSTIC OTTO RAPP Born in 1944 in Felixdorf, Lower Austria, I lived and was educated in Vienna, where later I worked as a clerk in the Transport and Insurance Business. After completing service in the Austrian Air Force, I traveled throughout Europe, eventually settling in Stockholm, Sweden. As a Painter I was initially self taught, studying in the various Galleries and Museums. In Vienna, I was often hanging out at the Akademie der Bildenden Kuenste, where I admired the work of the Wiener Schule des Phantastischen Realismus represented there by the Professors Ernst Fuchs, Rudolf Hausner and Arik Brauer. In Stockholm, I found out that I was washing dishes in the very same Restaurant where years earlier another Viennese...

In the battle for mobile platform dominance, Android is increasing its presence to the tune of 700,000 new devices every single day.
The number was reported by Android platform chief Andy Rubin (in a post on Google Plus, of course), and indicates an impressive rate of growth for Google popular mobile platform. Back in July, the company reported that it was activating 550,000 new devices each day.
And just to head off those who'd question the definition of a "new activation," Rubin followed up his original post with some clarification:
…and for those wondering, we count each device only once (ie, we don't count re-sold devices), and "activations" means you go into a store, buy a device, put it on the network by subscribing to a wireless service.
Google announced last month that it had activated over 200 million new Android devices — a number that indicates the mobile platform war is far from over.

March 2013 New ProductsPosted in Product Reviews on March 1, 2013
Go Faster
The sooner we get this out of the way, the better. We like 4WD Jeeps. We laugh at 2WD Jeeps. That said, in off-road racing sometimes a 4WD Jeep just can't go as fast as its 2WD counterpart and keeping the factory 2WD beam front axle alive can quickly become a full-time job that requires overtime. Enter Clayton Off Road with a Jeepspeed-spec beam front axle with heavy-duty upper and lower control arm mounts and a high-steer track bar all hung off a heavy-duty DOM tube.

Coming North
Get the look and durability of an off-road race wheel with Pro Comp's newest design, the La Paz. It features a split five-spoke design and realistic beadlock styling. The outside bead surface is extra thick for added protection off-road. The La Paz can be ordered with a complete satin black finish or in satin black with a machined outer lip. The design is inspired by the wheels used by Pro Comp's race teams in desert and short-course off-road racing. These wheels are available in 16- and 17-inch diameters.

Rubicon Express has released a new monotube gas-charged shock with sizing for popular Jeep applications. Not only that, but the shocks are custom-tuned to Jeeps for a better ride. The shocks feature a 50mm-diameter body, a 14mm shaft, and an external wiper seal to keep the gunk out. Inside there is self-adjusting digressive valving and a self-lubricating one-piece aluminum valve guide seal. It's all coated with Rubicon Express' trademark silver/grey that is corrosion-resistant if you live where the weather is.

Rebuild and Replace
We hate double-cardan and constant-velocity driveline joints, primarily because there is no way to service or rebuild them. That is true of all OEM shafts and many aftermarket shafts. Well, if you've got a Grand Cherokee or a Liberty and want to retain the constant-velocity joint when yours blows up, Rockford Driveline now has your solution. Rockford reduces repair expense by enabling the user to simply change-out the defective joint, while maintaining the balance of the OEM high-speed driveshaft.

Big Balls
Following up on its awesome ball joints, Synergy Suspension is taking its battle against death wobble to the next level. Just when you thought that 1-ton Chevy tie-rod ends were good, this happens. By eliminating the biggest wear item in a normal tie-rod end (the nylon cup), Synergy was able to fit a much bigger ball with a larger shank in the tie-rod end. A sintered metal design with grease grooves in the ball allow for better lubrication and a rip-resistant boot made from a blend of polyurethane and silicone will keep the grease in and dirt out.

DIY Trailer
If you have been looking for a trailer to tow behind your Jeep, but $10,000 is too steep and $1,000 for someone else's 50-year-old problem trailer isn't your ball of wax, maybe you can build your own. Dinoot Trailers offers do-it-yourself trailer kits that have Jeep-like bodies and frames so that you don't have to cut up a whole Jeep to get the look you want. Available in Compact and Extended sizes with bolt-together and weld-together frame options, you can put together the trailer that suits your budget and skill level.

One-Fifth of U.S. Gay Men Have HIV
Summer/Fall 2010
Nearly 20% of gay and bisexual men in 21 large U.S. cities are HIV positive, but more than 40% do not know their status, according to study findings described in the September 24, 2010, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
Investigators from the CDC collected data from the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance system on HIV prevalence among men who have sex with men (MSM), defined as having had sex with another man at least once during the past year. The analysis included more than 8,000 men in 21 metropolitan statistical areas surveyed during 2008. Participants completed anonymous interviews and received HIV blood tests.
Overall HIV prevalence (total infections) was 19%. Rates were highly variable across cities, however, ranging from 6% in Atlanta to 38% in Baltimore. Early epicenters of the epidemic had above-average to high rates, including Chicago (19%), Los Angeles (19%), San Francisco (23%), and New York City (29%). Several higher-prevalence cities were located in the south, including Dallas (26%), Houston (26%), Miami (25%), and New Orleans (21%). But Washington, D.C. -- often cited as one of the most heavily impacted cities -- was below average at 14%.
Looking at demographic factors, men who identified as homosexual and bisexual had similar HIV prevalence rates (19% and 18%, respectively), more than twice as high as self-identified heterosexuals (8%). Prevalence rose with increasing age -- from 7% among men age 18-19 up to 28% for the 40-49 age group and 25% for those age 50 or older.
Consistent with other studies, African Americans had the highest prevalence (28%), Asians had the lowest (8%), and whites and Hispanics were in between (16% and 18%, respectively). Prevalence fell as education level and income increased.
Overall, 44% of the men who tested HIV positive as part of this study had not previously known they were infected. By self-identification, 39% of homosexual men knew their status compared with 63% of men who said they were bisexual or heterosexual. Racial/ethnic disparities were again apparent, with 59% of black men, 46% of Hispanics, 43% of Asians, and 26% of white men not knowing they were positive. Lack of awareness was especially high among young men, reaching 75% for the 18-19 age group.
"Because MSM represent the only group with increasing HIV incidence and comprise the largest proportion of new infections, it is critical to target resources and prevention strategies to MSM," the study authors wrote.

Final: Yankees 4, Red Sox 1
Final: Yankees 4, Red Sox 1: The Sox couldn't muster enough off Kuroda to overcome two Jeter doubles and two Ichiro solo homers. Beckett takes the loss again, giving up a two-out RBI double to Granderson in the first, a wild pitch that allowed Jeter to score in the second, and, of course, those two blasts by Ichiro. The score is flipped from Saturday night, and the Yankees take the series.
Gonzalez's homer in the seven provided the sole run for the Sox, who have Monday off before opening up a series at Fenway against the Angels.
Thanks for reading. Postgame notes to follow. Have a good night.
Top 9th: Yankees 4, Red Sox 1: Crawford, in what could very well be his final at bat of the season, singled up the middle to lead things off, but Pedroia grounded into a double play. Gonzalez ripped two foul balls down the right-field line, then struck out swinging on a 83-mph slider. Game over.
Bottom 8th: Yankees 4, Red Sox 1: Miller got Ibanez to fly out to center, then gave way to Junichi Tazawa, who got Martin on a grounder to third. Ichiro then beat out Ciriaco's deep throw for an infield single, and McGehee grounded into a fielder's choice to end things.
Rafael Soriano on to close. We are three outs away and under three hours, by the way.
Kuroda's line: 8.0 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 1 HR, 112 pitches, 75 strikes.
Top 8th: Yankees 4, Red Sox 1: Kuroda continues to cruise. Ciriaco lined out to center, Punto got caught looking, and Ellsbury flied out again to center.
Bottom 7th: Yankees 4, Red Sox 1: Miller rung up Granderson and Chavez on breaking balls after Cano walked. Swisher flied out to right to start the inning.
Kuroda remains in the game with Ciriaco-Punto-Ellsbury due up.
Top 7th: Yankees 4, Red Sox 1: Gonzalez cranks a solo shot to right to put the Sox on the board. Lavarnway singled up the middle, snapping a 1 for 19 streak against right-handers, but Salty flied out to left and Podsednik flied out to center.
Time to stretch.
Beckett is done for the day. Andrew Miller on for the Sox.
Beckett's line: 6.0 IP, 7 H, 4 ER, 3 BB, 6 K, 2 HR, 1 WP, 98 pitches, 58 strikes.
Bottom 6th: Yankees 4, Red Sox 0: Beckett again leaves a fastball over the middle of the plate, and Ichiro again cranks it over the right-field wall. He takes the curtain call after the seventh multi-homer game of his career.
Top 6th: Yankees 3, Red Sox 0: Kuroda hasn't allowed a run in his past 16.1 innings, and has allowed just four hits — all singles — in that span after getting Punto (grounder to second), Ellsbury (flyout to center), and Crawford (deep fly to the right-field warning track) in order.
Bottom 5th: Yankees 3, Red Sox 0: Jeter moves to 3 for 3 tonight with a single to lead things off, and after Swisher struck out swinging, Cano snapped an 0 for 16 with a single up the middle, and Granderson walked to load the bases.
Beckett then fell behind 3-0 on Chavez, who either got the green light or ignored the stop sign and skied a popout in foul territory to Gonzalez at first. Ibanez got under one and flied out to center to end the inning, getting Beckett out of a potentially big jam.
Top 5th: Yankees 3, Red Sox 0: The Sox got a runner in scoring position for the first time tonight on a bizarre play. After Salty singled, Podsednik hit a high chopper towards Cano at second. Cano appeared to tag him, and Salty appeared to run out of the baseline, but was ruled safe. Either way, Ciriaco grounded out to short to end the inning.
Bottom 4th: Yankees 3, Red Sox 0: Ichiro demolished a 1-2 fastball into the right-field second deck for a solo homer, his second with the Yankees. Beckett's given up seven two-strike homers this season.
Top 4th: Yankees 2, Red Sox 0: The Sox again go down in order against Kuroda. Crawford and Pedroia both ground out to second, and Gonzalez bounces out to Swisher at first unassisted.
Bottom 3rd: Yankees 2, Red Sox 0: Jeter hammered another Beckett pitch over the middle of the plate to centerfield for his second double of the night, upping his career average against the righthander to .330. After Swisher walked, the two executed a double steal, and Jeter scored on a wild pitch, moving him to one shy of Craig Biggio for 13th all-time in runs.
Beckett then rung Cano up on a full-count two-seamer, intentionally walked Granderson to put runners on the corners, took enough time between pitches to cause Yankees fans to start the wave in the third inning, and struck out Chavez on a full count.
Top 3rd: Yankees 1, Red Sox 0: After Podsednik flied out to deep left, Kuroda struck Ciriaco out, so the world has license to officially implode. Punto singled, becoming the first Sox batter to reach base, but Ellsbury struck out to end the inning.
Bottom 2nd: Yankees 1, Red Sox 0: Solid inning for Beckett, who gets Ibanez (grounder to second), Martin (strikeout swinging), and Ichiro (flyout to right) in order.
Top 2nd: Yankees 1, Red Sox 0: Six outs, and the Sox haven't gotten the ball out of the infield. Gonzalez pops out to Jeter, Lavarnway goes chasing an outside breaking pitch, and Salty weakly bounces out to second.
Bottom 1st: Yankees 1, Red Sox 0: Beckett gets behind after the first inning. We know, revolutionary stuff here. Jeter led off with a double to deep center, but Beckett nearly got out of it with a groundout by Swisher and a strikeout to Cano. One strike away from stranding Jeter on third, Granderson, hitting cleanup for the first time since 2009, instead ripped a double down the right-field line. Chavez nearly extended the damage, but flied out to the warning track in left.
Top 1st: Red Sox 0, Yankees 0: Three groundouts, and Kuroda is through a perfect first after setting Ellsbury, Crawford, and Pedroia down in order.
Pregame: Good evening. The Sox send Josh Beckett (5-10, 5.19) in Sunday night's rubber match at Yankee Stadium, with a two-fold opportunity to take the series and get the right-hander back on track. New York counters with Hiroki Kuroda (11-8, 3.06).
Updates go here, comments go below, and everyone will have a jolly old time. Enjoy the game.

December 25th is fast approaching and Christmas songs are everywhere. I'm not sure about you, but I've heard most of these before and am pretty familiar with the lyrics. It would lift my Grinchy little heart to be able to wander through the mall humming something creative and original.

Joining in the hunt,
Pillaging all the way!
Fog is setting in,
I can't see your troops,
Oh, please will you be weak and thin,

Make it creative, make it singable, and make sure you reference all the Conquer Club things you can think of!

The #1 winning entry chosen by the judges will receive 3 Months Premium*.
Stocking Stuffers!
All entries that are accompanied with a YouTube video of you performing your original work will automatically be awarded a General Achievement Medal.
Return Policy Fine Print!

- Again, the only official way for your entry to be considered is to include it in a PM to me, Sundog308.
- Submissions will be accepted through midnight, 12/25/12.

I am unable to delete playlists that I have created. I am using version - MADSONIC 6.3.9500.8df1ddd.20170602.0302
I have starred a bunch of songs and wanted to create a playlist. I clicked on All and Save as Playlist. The Files dont seem to get put in there but it creates a playlist. I can then edit the name or delete the playlist. I have now a few playlists with just the date and I can't delete them. Any help would be great.

When I was a kid I used to read car magazines and dream of someday owning a legendary car like a Ferrari, Maserati, or Lamborghini. In the world of car audio amplifiers, one of the most legendary brands is Rockford Fosgate. But unlike in the domain of supercars, it's possible to get the legendary performance of a Rockford Fosgate amplifier at a Hyundai price. In 2009, Rockford Fosgate introduced the "Prime" series of products, aimed specifically at the novice enthusiast or simply a buyer who demands top notch quality and value at a more modest price. In this review we're going to take a look at one of the best sellers in the Prime family, the R250-1 monoblock amplifier.
The $149.99 (USD) Prime R250-1 is a single channel Class AB amplifier designed specifically to drive subwoofer loads down to 2 ohms. The chassis of the amplifier measures 11.6" long, 7.7" wide, and 2.4" tall. Very nicely finished in a brushed aluminum extruded heatsink with a black anodized finish, the cosmetics of the amp belie its low price. Power and speaker connections are made on one end of the amp, using standard nickel plated barrier strip terminals and Phillips screws. The Battery and Ground terminals are large enough to accept 4 gauge crimp terminals, and a set of dual, internally paralleled speaker connections provide convenient connection of multiple woofers. A 30A ATC fuse also resides on the business end of the amp. Spinning the amp 180 degrees presents you with the signal and control connections and adjustments.
For an amplifier at this price, I was impressed by the included control and adjustment features; gain, Punch Bass, a 40-130Hz variable crossover, a 0-180° phase switch, pass through RCA outputs, and even a wired remote level control! A blue LED indicates power on, and a red LED comes on if the internal protection circuits are activated. The only thing missing was a set of high level inputs so you could feed the subwoofer signals directly from your rear speaker wires if necessary.
Taking the bottom off the amp (which voids your warranty, so don't do it!) reveals a typical Class AB amplifier layout, and at first I was a bit surprised to find large bipolar output devices instead of the usual MOSFET devices that have been found in every Rockford Fosgate amplifier since about 1990. However, none of those amps had this many features for 150 bucks!
The single sided PCB is populated with traditional through-hole parts, and the high mass components like the transformer, and current sense resistors are secured to the board with special adhesives to withstand abuse from temperatures and vibration, ensuring long term reliability. A pair of 2200µF caps provide current to the MOSFET power supply devices, and another pair of 2200µF caps supply energy to the two pairs of high current Epitaxial output transistors. The Prime R250-1 is well-made inside, and has some nice details you don't expect at this price, like poly caps in the signal path, and a nice Pi filter at the power input to minimize engine noise problems. Plus, all Prime amplifiers feature Rockford's exclusive POWER (Power Output Without Excessive Regulation) supply design to insure true rated output power.

Removal of short term rental listsings for Bucharest
Please do not remove anymore the short term rental listings, because this is not fair to either the players in this industry in Bucharest, neither to the tourists and business men that travel to Bucharest and would like to combine the advantages of cost and comfort of a short term rental apartment instead of a hotel.
Wikitravel should be a free site, that exposes all the posibilities to the tourists that visit the capital city of Romania. By the way, have you tried to stay in a short term rental apartment in Bucharest ? Do you know that some of the companies involved really provide luxury conditions and very good prices ?
Thanks for your edits to Manali, but I noticed that you removed a few hotel extlinks that (at least to me) appears to be the hotel's own site -- was this intentional, or am I missing something? Jpatokal 06:43, 11 May 2008 (EDT)

removal of links
We would like to know why you removed the links for the Las Vegs MealTicket and Las Vegas Power Pass? They are both popular products that include admission to many local attractions and meals at restuarants. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by VISITicket (talk • contribs)
Please respond to these last comments. Specifically, why do you think there should be similar product listings in some cities but not others and why do you think travellers who want to visit many of the highlighted attractions shouldn't be made aware of products that include admission to many locations at a discount? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by VISITicket (talk • contribs)
The listings
Hi! Anyways, about deleting listings, the reasons why I deleted ones in Seattle were because:
If it fits all three of those, then I think you should delete. I have been told this somewhere. edmontonenthusiast [ee] .T.A.L.K. 18:58, 8 December 2008 (EST).
"Brevity is a virtue. "Don't make fun of Canada in Canada", very sensible; hundred-word highly subjective diatribe on top of that, better suited for a personal blog."
What does that mean? What are you meaning? Do you live in Canada? If you don't, then I would rather you not keep reverting my edit in Canada because clearly you don't seem to realise we are brutly made fun of by Americans - and, now, how does that relate to a traveler? Well, if an American goes to Toronto and starts making fun of Canadians with his Swedish buddy who just moved to Canada - well, wouldn't the American be in trouble. That's why it is basically saying, don't make fun of Canadians and explaining why Canadians don't like being made fun of. I know there are other examples already there, but I thought I'd share 1 more as it is big. Anyways, if you are Canadian, explain to me why you don't think that's an issue that travelers should know. Thanks. edmontonenthusiast [ee] .T.A.L.K. 19:01, 30 December 2008 (EST).

Request to block vandal
Hi, Dguillaime. I've edited for years as an unregistered user, signing myself as "Michael." I appreciate the good work you've done on the New York City pages and see you have the power to block users. I didn't see in the FAQs how one could request for a vandal's account to be blocked, so I registered and am posting my request here. 22.214.171.124 has done nothing but vandalize: See http://wikitravel.org/en/Special:Contributions/22.214.171.124 I've felt for a while that administrators should permanently block vandals' accounts more quickly, when it's obvious that their sole intent is to vandalize and waste the time of good-faith volunteers. Feel free to reply here or on a user page for my new account, if you like, and thanks for all you do. Ikan Kekek 23:00, 18 June 2009 (EDT)

Message For Dguillame
Hi DGuillame,
I wanted to speak to you directly before placing a link on this or any other city page, as I want to abide by the Wikipedia rules. I work for an apartment rental site - citybaseapartments dot com, and would like to know if we can place our link in the Sleep / Apartments section?
I've read the External Links policy and believe we qualify as we actually own the lease on a a few apartments in each city (more in the UK) - so we're not a secondary source - whereas I know at least one of the links on the page currently are just an agency.
Please advise and many thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs)
Thank you for responding. I've just looked in the guidelines and they state as the first point:
"1. The agency must have a 'real world' office with a phone number and physical address (not a PO box) where the keys will be picked up, and that information must be included in the Wikitravel listing and on the agency website"
We have a physical office in the UK, with phone numbers and a customer service team of over 20 staff (just trying here to emphasise that we are a 'physical' company, not just an affiliate). We have long term leases on apartments in pretty much every one of our European cities (barring Russia), and the keys are picked up there in reception - would this mean we would be 'allowed' to add our listings?
I wasn't thinking of adding a listing to lots of different articles, just one link in the Sleep section of the cities that we effectively 'own' apartments in...
Apologies for the long missive, I would imagine your time is valuable - I just don't want to go adding my link to the cities and then found out I broke the rules —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CityBaseApartments (talk • contribs)

Hello, I am new to Wikitravel and I don't understand why you undid my postings. I have a website that promotes the magnificent Mornington Peninsula and I don't see why I can't link to it from a travel page that is supposed to be providing information on the Mornington Peninsula.

NSW is hardly a relative comparison. NSW is the most populated State in Australia, the Mornington Peninsula is a small province in the State of Victoria.

Our North Korea vandal
Well done for picking up yet another tricky, destructive edit by 18.104.22.168 at North Korea. This user has persistently vandalised competitor information in this article and does not respond to anything on his talk page. The history is here. I think the time has come to give a final warning and to consider outright ban of the IP. I know Wikitravel does not like doing this but a user like this is surely a candidate for an outright ban? Touting is much easier to deal with and spot than these devious edits. --Burmesedays 21:34, 9 December 2009 (EST)
Yes, I would agree with you about the article descriptions and the need to abbreviate not being dire. Of course, I haven't read anything that says it's against the MoS but I may have missed it. I, personally, would use a "." when writing in prose, but this seems to confuse folks when it comes time for listing. In general, however, I think when people are reading an article in the language they prefer, they won't have too big of a problem with "Ave" popping out all of a sudden, or "Rd" or "St". Sometimes seeing "Avenue" or "Road" spelled out 20x in a small paragraph seems over-the-top-lengthy for a travel guide that prides itself on creativity (maintained by standards and group consensus) and a KISS approach. For listings, abbreviations are bit more than encouraged--it's one of the things that should is to be reviewed before an article wins Star status. When road names are bolded in large portions of text, I tend not to mess with them. Feel free to revert my changes to any articles you've viewed--it wouldn't dampen my parade. If there's anything in the MoS about not abbreviating in prose then feel free to let me know--I'll check after I send this to you. I'd say on the whole, WT suffers more from the MoS being a little too standard-free than vice versa. Have you seen how much debate there was on AM/PM vs. am/pm vs. a.m./p.m? It is laughable to read.Zepppep 17:12, 23 December 2009 (EST)

Santa Cruz
Dguillaime, I think it's important for travellers anywhere to stay safe and know how to avoid offending the locals. My edits re Santa Cruz are all about that. Aggressive panhandlers, surfers and skaters can be a problem and the locals there do tend to be suspicious of outsiders and not too tolerant of opposing political views.

Blue Mountains Link
Interested in why you deleted a link I put on the Blue Mountains page - The external guidelines say links are OK if "they are truly exceptional". Did you look the page I linked to? It is a non commercial site with fantastic aerial video of the Blue Mountains. I can't believe that any one interested in visiting the area wouldn't be want to have a look. Particularly interesting that you leave in a link for a hire car company. If you have looked at the link and don't think it is "exceptional" what about opening it up for a discussion on the page? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs)
The external link guide says to "avoid" (not prohibit) ... "Personal image galleries and photo/video sharing websites (Flickr, Webshots, YouTube, etc)" The site I linked to is nothing like Flickr, Webshots, YouTube. It is not a video sharing web site and not a personal gallery.
My question again - Did you look at the linked site and decide whether or not it is a valuable resource for this page? Or do you make your deletions purely based on your own interpretation of the wording in the "External Links" section. I've put this up for discussion on the Blue Mountains page as my interpretation of the wording is different to yours.
Hello Dguillaime, I am interested in why you keep deleting my posts. I have read and reread the policies. My address is a boat and we stand at the pier.

I see many other links and ads to resorts and dive shops on Phi Phi island without the proper 'formula' that you are requiring of me. I have had the same information on other wikitravel sites and never had a problem. I have many links on other websites directed to various wikitravel sites. I would appreciate a little more explanation why I am being deleted other than just having to continually check to see who is monitoring the page. Thanks

Isla Palenque vandal
Hi, Dguillaime. Thank you for your help on the Isla Palenque page. I am not very familiar with the wiki and am battling a vandal here and on Wikipedia. If you have any advice for me, please let me know. I'd like to know how to stop vandalism and/or get a user blocked and/or have an arbitration on the issue. I read that the first step is to warn the user - do I do that on the talk page? I welcome your advice.
Also, the vandal has posted more content on the page. They are getting a little smarter and slightly less offensive so as to not be removed, but we, the owners of the island, know who this person is, and that they are venting here because the court just threw their case out as frivolous. I'm afraid to keep undoing their contributions - please help.

Actress June Allyson, the perky blond with the husky voice who was one of Hollywood's most beloved stars in the 1940s and 1950s, has died. She was 88.
Allyson died Saturday at her home in Ojai of pulmonary respiratory failure and acute bronchitis after a long illness, her daughter, Pamela Powell, told The Times on Monday. David Ashrow, Allyson's husband of 29 years, was at her side.
"She was a joy to know," actress Ann Rutherford, who met Allyson at MGM in the 1940s, said Monday. "She was a wonderful actress and just confronted her life with vast enthusiasm."
Aquatic film star Esther Williams, another MGM colleague, said: "Junie and I were wonderful friends. It was a wonderful relationship. Whenever we did a movie we'd trade scripts and talk about it and see if there was a way to make it more interesting. She was a very special little lady. Very strong; people didn't know that."
Allyson rose from teenage chorus girl on Broadway to contract player for MGM. She began in Hollywood as a dancer and singer in short films. She later co-starred with Jimmy Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Van Johnson and Dick Powell in a series of wifely and other supportive roles. Powell became her real-life husband in 1945; he died in 1963.
Petite at barely 5 foot 1 and weighing less than 100 pounds, she was everybody's sweetheart. As Ginger Rogers once said of her, "She's the girl every man wants to marry and the girl every woman wants as a friend."
Her simple, blond pageboy, Peter Pan collars and no-nonsense manner stamped her as the all-American girl next door, the woman millions of GIs wanted to come home to. She was consistently voted a top star by movie magazines and box office surveys.
Among her more well-known movies were her breakthrough film, "Two Girls and a Sailor," in which she co-starred with Johnson and Gloria DeHaven; the 1949 remake of "Little Women," playing the tomboy Jo; and three movies with Stewart: "The Stratton Story," "The Glenn Miller Story" and "Strategic Air Command."
After she married Powell and had two children, Allyson made a few films and TV movies and had her own TV show, an anthology series, from 1959 to 1961.
After his death, she continued working in films and appeared on Broadway, succeeding Julie Harris in "40 Carats." She also appeared on many television programs, with guest spots on CBS' "The Judy Garland Show" and roles in several series.
But life was not easy for Allyson after Powell's death. Talking to CNN's Larry King in 2001 about what she called her "tunnel years," Allyson said, "I just locked myself away and – I found the bottle."
She married and divorced Powell's barber – twice. She said she felt her ties to the "good life" were unraveling.
She credited Ashrow, a dentist turned actor whom she married in 1976, with helping her to turn her life around.
Drinking and some relationship troubles hardly represented the good-girl image of Allyson that was fostered throughout her career both by her own sunny personality and the Hollywood publicity machine.
Although Allyson gave various birth dates for herself over the years, her daughter, in Santa Monica, said she was born Oct. 7, 1917. For 13 years, Allyson's studio biography also stated that she was born "Jan Allyson" to French-English parents. But her daughter said Allyson was born Eleanor Geisman to a French mother and Dutch father.
Allyson wrote in her autobiography that a choreographer for "Sing Out the News," her first Broadway show, decided she needed a new name, although she told CNN's King that "actually, it was George Abbott," the famed Broadway director.
She said Abbott liked the name June because it was "kind of sunny," and she picked Allison, which was a family name, and changed the spelling slightly.
Once in Hollywood, the spunky Allyson was buoyed by her ability to form close friendships.
Among those who befriended her were Lucille Ball, who was the star of the 1943 film version of "Best Foot Forward," and Mickey Rooney and Garland, who were the stars of "Girl Crazy," in which Allyson had a specialty number.
Getting a foothold in Hollywood was not easy for Allyson, whom MGM movie chief Louis B. Mayer and others considered not conventionally beautiful. And although she got into films as a Broadway singer and dancer, Allyson was the first to say she was not particularly good at either.
It was Ball, who also starred in the 1944 film "Meet the People," in which Allyson had a role, who counseled the discouraged Allyson not to give up on Hollywood.
"You're here now, and you're going to stay," Ball said, according to Allyson's autobiography.
Allyson's next film was "Two Girls and a Sailor," a musical that made her a star.
Eleanor Geisman was born in the Bronx into a rocky family situation. At age 8, she was seriously injured when a tree fell on her while she rode her bicycle. The cost of her medical care and physical therapy impoverished a family that was already desperate after the father had left.
"Sometimes my mother would not eat dinner when I was eating and I'd ask why," Allyson wrote in her 1982 autobiography, written with Frances Spatz Leighton. "She would say she wasn't hungry, but later I realized there was only enough food for one." The two of them moved often, and sometimes young Ella was put in the care of her grandmother or another relative.
Eventually, Allyson could go without a cast and a brace. She wanted desperately to learn to dance and, unable to afford dance lessons, she picked it up by going to see Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies.
When she boasted that she could dance as well as Rogers, her school friends dared her to try out for a Broadway musical comedy chorus line, and she got the part. She was still in seventh grade.
After several years in many chorus lines, Allyson graduated to small parts, including a bit she did with Ethel Merman in Cole Porter's "Panama Hattie." In that same musical, Allyson was understudy to Betty Hutton in the comic role of Florrie and, in a classic Broadway fantasy, Allyson stepped in for Hutton when the star got the measles.
Allyson's performance caught the attention of Abbott, who needed someone like her to "ham up" scenes with Nancy Walker in "Best Foot Forward." When the musical got picked up by MGM for a film, Allyson found herself a contract player in Hollywood.
She arrived in Los Angeles by train with $10 and knowing only two people there: Powell, whom she had met just once backstage on Broadway, and Johnson, whom she had dated in New York and who was making his way as an actor in Hollywood.
She and Johnson would later be cast together as a romantic couple in a number of films, including "Two Girls and a Sailor" (1944) and "The Bride Goes Wild" (1948). So tied were they in the public eye that movie fans "were panting for a marriage" between them, Allyson wrote. But they were always just friends.
When Allyson started out as a dancer in musicals, it was never without a bad case of nerves.
"I would dance and I would sing and I would throw up," she wrote. "I learned not to eat much until the end of the day."
But as an actress she had an appealing naturalness, and she had two valuable skills: She could memorize her lines almost instantly, and she could turn on the tears.
"They liked me because I was the only actress who not only cried on cue, I could also cry in key!" Allyson told The Times in 1968. "That's very important in musicals." She wrote that she would go somewhere quiet and repeat to herself, "I'm not going to cry," and the tears would flow.
During the filming of "Meet the People," which starred Powell, Allyson developed a crush on the actor. She had first met him in New York City when he asked to be introduced to her after a performance of "Best Foot Forward."
Powell began advising her on her roles, telling her, for example, which of the two sisters she should play in "Two Girls and a Sailor." When his marriage to actress Joan Blondell foundered, his attentions turned to Allyson. Blondell accused her of stealing her husband, which Allyson denied.
Allyson described her early years with Powell in fairy-tale terms, but in their 18 years together, there were some hard times. They separated once when Allyson fell in love with actor Alan Ladd, who was also married. Later, Allyson filed for divorce from Powell, who had been working nonstop running Four Star Productions, which produced many series for CBS. They reconciled about a year before he was diagnosed with cancer.
Allyson wrote in her autobiography that once, when Powell asked her what her philosophy of life was, she replied, "If you see someone without a smile, give him yours."
"Richard almost fell off the chair laughing," Allyson wrote of the moment. He exclaimed, "Oh, God, don't let her change!"
In 1984, Allyson became the spokeswoman for Depend, a line of diaper products for adults with incontinence. The June Allyson Foundation, formed in 1997, raises money for incontinence research and education.
In addition to her husband and daughter, Allyson is survived by her son, Richard, of Reseda; a grandson in Van Nuys; and her brother, Arthur Peters of Ventura.
A private family memorial will be held, and an invitation-only celebration of Allyson's life will be held on Oct. 7 in Ojai.
