Brooke Ashley Workers Comp Hearing Continues
Brooke Ashley Workers Comp Hearing Continues
Level of responsibility producers must take for health of performers hangs in balance
Posted Jul 20th, 2007 00:00 AM by
Mark Kernes
December 4 will mark 90 days after testimony in the workers compensation case known as "Doe 43" will be completed before Judge Lisa A. Sussman, a judge of the California Workers Compensation Appeals Board.
That final witness will be writer/director Cash Markman, who spent about a half-hour on the stand yesterday morning, being questioned by Elliot Berkowitz, attorney for claimant Doe 43, better known to the adult industry as actress Brooke Ashley.
It was in early 1998 that several porn stars, including Ashley, Tricia Devereaux, Kimberly Jade and a European actress named Caroline, were discovered to have been infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), allegedly by legendary actor Marc Wallice, who had been working for several months with a forged HIV test from a clinic used by almost no one else in the industry.
It was the Wallice case that led to the creation of the Adult Industry Medical (AIM) Healthcare Foundation and the universal use among adult talent of the PCR-DNA test for HIV, replacing the old ELISA HIV-antibody test which, due to its long incubation period, was deemed to be unsatisfactory for use in the adult video setting.
Brooke Ashley's infection is thought to have occurred on the set of
The World's Biggest Anal Gangbang
, shot over two days at the old Gourmet Video studios in March of '98. The shoot was produced by Dan Beck, who had been best known up to that point as the producer of a series of sexually-explicit "reality TV" shows titled "Late Night with Jonathan Morgan," which were shown on the adult TEN Channel.
Beck's financier for
The World's Biggest Anal Gangbang
was reportedly one Robert Dupree, and in the current proceeding, Berkowitz and Workers Compensation Bureau attorney Nora Tu-Willis are seeking to have the court declare that Ashley was Dupree's employee. If such is the finding of the court, Dupree would be required to pay workers compensation to Ashley, or if for some reason Dupree were unable to do so, Ashley's compensation would be paid from the Uninsured Employees' Benefit Trust Fund. Additionally, Dupree might be assessed fees for not having paid for workers compensation insurance for Ashley while she was his employee.
The central question, however, is whether in fact Ashley was an employee of
while making
The World's Biggest Anal Gangbang
, or simply an independent contract selling her services to the production company, as is currently considered to be the case with the vast majority of adult productions today.
Several witnesses, including Ashley herself, have already given depositions in the case, and several have been called to testify in the Workers Compensation Appeals Board proceeding. On Thursday, the first witness was Ran Munee, who served as the cook for the shoot, but soon found himself drafted into the production manager's job, one of his duties then becoming the collector of the HIV tests from the performers.
"I told them that I provided food for the shoot," Munee recounted his testimony from the proceeding, which was closed to the press, "and then when I got there, I found that I had to collect the paperwork and that specifically, some people didn't have correct paperwork, things of that nature. I was asked if I ever saw her [Ashley's] test, which I did not; that was collected by Dan Beck."
Munee, who'd been on the tech side of the industry for several years, was immediately suspicious about Wallice's test.
"It looked like it was a forgery all the way," Munee declared. "I was going to tell him to go home and get the original. I had asked him for the original there and he said he would have to go home, all that, and Dan Beck came in and said, 'No, no, that's good; we need a name.'"
Munee said that Wallice's wasn't the only test he questioned.
"On the live gangbang, they had all these crazy guys come in and specifically had paperwork that was not right," Munee recalled. "Like for instance, the shoot's in March, and this guy brings in a test from October and he says, 'Well, I haven't had sex since then.' I says, 'Well, I'm sorry to hear that, but you still have to have a current test.' This guy – they had certain guys that were just off the street. They had sent out a thing, 'Do you want to be in a gangbang?' And then they brought in the ringers like Marc Wallice and Buck Adams and people like that."
Markman later disputed the idea that Beck had hired performers "off the street."
"There was nobody off the street," Markman contradicted. "Everybody who came in was professional talent; they all had paperwork, although the paperwork may have looked a little shady with some of them and certainly with one of them [Wallice]... It was a photocopy; I remember that."
"Dan had like 50 guys booked," Markman continued. "He may have fallen a little short, but that was the magic number he wanted, so then what he did was, he was getting desperate towards the end to find people. I do know he was scraping the bottom of the barrel by the end of the two days to come up with more people because he wasn't paying them very much. He was only paying the guys like $150 each."
According to Markman, the going rate for male talent in '98 was $300 per scene.
Markman said he was questioned by Berkowitz for about 25 minutes.
"It was clear that he was trying to find somebody to pin the blame on," Markman said, "so he asked a lot of questions about the industry; in particular, about what a director does and how directors direct these movies and what we tell the talent to do, and do we tell them where to report for work and what time to perform and who to perform with and how to perform, what positions to get into, and tell them to say specific things while they're doing their scenes and all that type of stuff."
"He didn't like my answers," Markman continued, "because I told him that in a scripted movie, absolutely, I will give them specific direction, but when it comes to sex scenes or all-sex movies like this thing, we tell them what it's about and let them to their thing, and the only time we ask them to do something differently is if they're not giving us what we want. Then we may call out, 'Give us more energy,' or 'Honey, throw your head back; your hair's in your face' or something like that. I said, as far as I direct, I let them pick their positions and they usually get to pick who they're going to work with and they get to decide whether they want to wear condoms or not, and I could tell he didn't like those answers because he's really trying to find somebody to say 'This person is responsible for what happened to her.' So he was trying to nail me in regards to show I was the director of the movie."
But in Markman's opinion, Dan Beck was the point man on the set, having booked the talent, arranged for the stage, arranged for the set dressage and other technical details.
"It was a very bizarre shoot," Markman characterized. "It was the type of thing I've never done before, because Dan set it up to where Brooke was going to be on the stage and these guys were going to come in one after another, and she would remain basically in one spot, and they would come in and do one or two positions with her, and the next guy would come in and tap him on the shoulder and do one or two positions with her. This went on for two days, and it was, I thought, very boring, very visually boring – I mean, it was kind of cute for the first two or three guys with them tapping each other on the shoulder, but after that, I'm thinking, 'Man, this is dull; you know, it's just the same thing.' And I said, 'If I were directing something like this, it would have been directed a lot differently, so no, we were trying to record what was happening, but it was basically choreographed already and Dan was telling everybody before they came into the room what they were going to be doing. And we would take breaks every three or four guys and Brooke would have about 15 minutes to recover and then we would go back and do another three or four, and this went on for two days."
Markman said it was obvious to him that this was a very difficult shoot for Ashley.
"It was a grueling shoot," he said. "After two days of that, my heart went out to her. She was in distress, because you can imagine, by the end of the day, she was in tears, and we would take a long break because she would be crying because it had become such an ordeal. It was so degrading to be shooting this way, and have this never-ending line of guys, and then she came to me and asked me if I could go talk to Dan and tell him she didn't want to work with a couple of these guys, and there were a couple of others, she wanted them to wear condoms because she thought they looked dirty or whatever. She was fine with Marc [Wallice]; she knew Marc. So I went back and talked with Dan, and he said, 'I've got a contract with her, and she's supposed to do these scenes or a certain amount of scenes without a condom.'"
That contract could conceivably play an important role in the current proceeding, and Markman told AVN.com his recollection of its terms.
"He [Beck] showed me the contract," Markman stated. "It was a couple of pages long, and – because when I went in and said, 'She doesn't want these guys to not be wearing condoms,' he pulled the contract out and said, 'I have a contract.' It either said no condoms or a certain percentage. I think there may have been a certain percentage, like maybe out of the 50, 10 of them could and 40 couldn't, because he wanted it to be primarily non-condom, and so I remember there was a clause in there about condoms; I just can't remember if it was none at all or it was a small percentage was allowed. So he did have the contract for her to do those two days, and to promote it. There were some clauses in there that she would come back on the live show and promote it and that he paid in installments; as she honored different portions of the contract, she'd get another check. So it was a contract situation, absolutely."
Markman said he understood the implications that Judge Sussman's final decision could have for the adult industry: That it could force producers to treat talent as employees who needed to be accorded certain employee benefits, rather than independent contractors.
"I hope not, because it would destroy a good chunk of our business," Markman opined. "A lot of people are going to be out of work if that happens. The profit ratio on these movies is so small, there may be people getting rich in this industry at the end of the year, but on individual movies, they're making so little profit now that if you had to increase the budget to pay for this type of insurance and pay for payroll costs, it's going to make most of these production unaffordable. So I would guess 80% of the companies will be out of business, and that means 80% of the directors, 80% of the crew people and 80% of the talent aren't going to be working. It's going to be a much small industry, like it was 30 years ago. I'm hoping that doesn't happen, because there's a lot of people in this industry I like who are barely getting by now, and I'm talking about crew people mostly, but some talent as well, and they're just not going to be working, period. And look beyond that as well; all the taxes, all the revenue that the city makes off of adult movies, 80% of that's going to go away. So people who don't look at the big picture and don't realize all the benefits [of talent's independent contractor status], it's going to hurt everyone. The economy will take a big hit in this city if something like this were to happen."
Markman also said that whatever the outcome of the workers comp proceeding, he expected Ashley to file a civil lawsuit as well.
"Maybe this judge's entire decision is going to be based on whether Doe 43 is eligible for workers comp or state assistance or whatever, but the fact that there were two other attorneys there, one representing the financer of the video, the other representing the talent, just the tone of the questions, the degree of the questions and who they were coming from tells me that this isn't going to be over when this particular trial is over," Markman summarized.

Go back and watch the play again. Brees was moving away from Brooks to the right, and then stopped. Brooks was rushing the passer with a full head of steam like hes supposed to. He hits Brees with his momentum colliding into him, uses his ARMS only, wrapped around Brees' SHOULDER PADS, and the ball pops loose.
He didnt touch his head, or his neck at ALL. He didnt use his helmet either. Brees' head jerked back from the impact of the hit. There was absolutely NOTHING wrong with that tackle. If it had been Josh McCown, there would be no flag. If it had been a guy like Cam Newton, who is HUGE, there would be no flag. its just because Brees is a dainty little superstar player that they threw the flag.

Have you considered that the frustration that this fan feels toward the games, could be spilling over into his family life, his work life and his other interpersonal relationships? Wouldn't you say that the value of having healthy relationships is more important than whatever entertainment value he/she gets from being a fan and watching this professional sport?

Report: Accidents Likely In Environmentally Fragile Seas
Many of the world's most accident-prone waters for shipping are also among the most delicate marine ecosystems, according to a new study released Friday by WWF International.
The fear of something like a major oil spill in environmentally sensitive waters comes as the number of vessels plying the world's oceans has risen 20 percent in the past 15 years, from 85,000 to 105,000, the report, released on World Oceans Day, says.
"Since 1999 there have been 293 shipping accidents in the South China Sea and East Indies, home of the Coral Triangle and 76 percent of the world's coral species," says Simon Walmsley, WWF International's marine manager. "As recently as April this year we've seen a Chinese fishing boat run aground on a protected coral reef in the Philippines that had already been damaged by a U.S. Navy ship in January."
The report says that general cargo vessels account for 40 percent of all ships lost at sea, and fishing boats for nearly a quarter.
The WWF warns:
"Climate change models show increased storm surges, changing wind and wave patterns and extreme weather events which are likely to exacerbate the risks of foundering leading to potential catastrophic environmental destruction. Fifty percent of all accidents are caused by foundering, where a boat sinks due to rough weather, leaks or breaking in two."
In a report issued by Allianz Global Corporate and Specialty Insurance earlier this year, the company concluded that while shipping accidents were up in the year before the study's issue, they were down 27 percent on a 10-year average.
"Despite this long-term downward trend, driven by technology, training and regulation and a proactive response from the shipping industry to safety improvement, human error remains the core challenge," Allianz said.
"For some commercial ship-owners, especially in the hard-pressed bulk cargo and tanker sectors, there is little money for maintenance and little money for training," it said.
WWF says that "as the global fleet continues to expand rapidly and begins to operate routinely in more risky areas, the probability of accidents and likely severity of impacts will again increase unless precautionary measures are put in place to address identifiable risk factors."
The environmental watchdog group says new ports are being built to transport coal from Australia, which would bring more traffic in the vicinity of the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef system. It also warns about the dangers from shipping in the Arctic region.
Walmsley called for exposing "irresponsible and badly performing owners and countries ... in order to motivate them to significantly increase their standards."

Named from the French word for lemon, "citron," citrine is a variety of quartz available in a range of golden hues from lemon, to straw, to sun yellow, to deep gold, to orange, brown and deep red. Darker colors are more highly valued, including the medium golden-orange and dark-sherry colors, sometimes called Madeira citrines after the color of the wine.
Citrine crystals can form together with amethyst to form ametrine, or with smoky quartz to form bicolored quartz. Citrine is generally less expensive than amethyst, and is also available in a wide range of calibrated sizes and shapes, including very large sizes. Considered an alternative to topaz as the birthstone for November, it is also thought to be the traditional gift for couples celebrating their 13th and 17th wedding anniversaries. Citrine ranks a 7.0 on the Mohs Scale, and because of this durability, it is ideal for jewelry wear.
Almost all citrine on the market is heat-treated amethyst, and generally starts life as either smoky quartz or amethyst geodes. Heat treatments first turn them clear and then give them a permanent color ranging from yellow to brownish-red. In some amethyst deposits, the amethyst has been partially or fully changed to brown citrine by natural means of heating, thereby transforming it into citrine. Natural citrine is pale yellow to orange, and occurs in much lighter hues than the heat-treated material. Citrines whose colors have been produced by artificial means tend to have much more of an orange or reddish caste than those found in nature. Since most citrine was originally amethyst that was heated to turn its color to gold, both citrine and amethyst jewelry should be kept away from prolonged exposure to strong light or heat.
Citrine is found in volcanic rocks and quartz veins and owes its color to the presence of iron. Most citrine is mined in Brazil, but almost all of the Brazilian material is heat-treated amethyst. Supplies are most plentiful in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, particularly from the Serra Mine. The Ira' Mine also produces large quantities of the gem. Citrine can also be found in the Ural Mountains of Russia, in Dauphine, France, and in Madagascar.
In ancient times, citrine was carried as a protection against snake venom and evil thoughts. It was thought to give calmness and mental balance to its wearer. Throughout history, people have confused citrine for topaz. Many citrines were sold as topaz and thus thought to carry the same qualities, such as knowledge and beauty. Today, citrine symbolizes truth and integrity, and is believed to promote creativity and personal clarity. It is also believed to impart happiness and cheer to its wearer while raising self esteem, as well as cleanse, regenerate and attract abundance.

A charge of sexual assault was dropped under the agreement.
According to the police affidavit, Bradeen fondled the girl on a porch at Highgate Apartments.

I'm looking for some advice on how to handle this situation:
I am not a developer, but my job is requiring me to build a membership site using iThemes Exchange with the Membership plugin.
I have a primary domain (Primary) with a dreamweaver website and subdomain (Book1) with my the wordpress website. We sell an online book (hosted on Book1) and a number of physical products and digital downloads.
Currently, to gain access to Book1 you purchase a membership through the "store" on Book1. All other products have to be purchased through a godaddy shopping cart on Primary. I anticipate there will also be an additional online book (with its own membership restrictions) in the future.
I would really like to have one central shopping cart through Primary (I plan to rebuild this website in wordpress), but iThemes Exchange can only restrict membership on the site on which it is installed. This means that our users would have to go to multiple sites in order to make their purchases. I am wondering if anyone out there with greater wordpress mojo than I can help me out with a creative way to work around this in wordpress.
I've done a lot of reading about wordpress multi-sites, but I'm not quiet sure I understand it well enough to discern whether or not it would solve my problem. Thoughts?
Would subfolders/subdirectories function any differently than the current subdomain set-up?
Ideally, each site (Primary, Book1, and - eventually - Book2) would have their own unique branding. Although I like that Primary and Book1 are completely separate right now, the best possible solution I've come up with is to dump the contents from all the sites into a single site and use unique headers to distinguish/brand the different "site" sections. This seems messy and hurts my order-loving brain, though. :)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Lara Logan Returns to 60 Minutes After Bogus Benghazi Report
And a seven-month leave of absence.
Last month, New York's Joe Hagan explored whether Lara Logan is too toxic to return to 60 Minutes, and now we have our answer. CBS News confirmed on Wednesday that Logan is back at work seven months after she was ordered to take a leave of absence over her discredited Benghazi report. According to The Hollywood Reporter, she won't show up on 60 Minutes until the fall, but she'll be popping up on other CBS News broadcasts in the coming weeks. Unsurprisingly, Media Matters chairman David Brock isn't pleased. "CBS indicated that they were serious about rebuilding its brand and taking accountability," he said. "Having Logan back on 60 Minutes shows the exact opposite."

Interstate 10 reopens after fatal, fiery accident
PHOENIX — A fiery, fatal accident involving a big rig forced Interstate 10 at the Broadway Road curve to be closed in both directions early Thursday.
By 10 a.m. three lanes were re-opened in each direction.
The truck driver, who was heading east on the freeway, died. Witnesses said the truck hit the median, followed by an explosion around 5 a.m.
Other vehicles were caught in the wake, and several people suffered minor injuries, according to the Department of Public Safety.
Drivers in both directions of I-10 had been forced to exit at State Route 143, although some westbound cars were able to stay on the I-10.
The closure also affected U.S. 60 westbound in the East Valley.
Cause of the accident is as yet unknown.

Some of the best companies in the world are part of the Dividend Aristocrats list, published by S&P. Corporations that have consistently increased their dividends for at least a quarter of a century make the cut in this elite index.
Recently I stumbled upon this document (opens as a pdf file), which shows historical changes in the S&P Dividend Aristocrats list from 1989 to 2004.
You can see that in 1989, the number of companies was only 26. Only 7 of the original companies still remain in the index. The companies are: DOV, EMR, JNJ, KO, LOW, MMM and PG.
In 2004, the number of Dividend Aristocrats rose to 56. Currently there are 60 companies in the index. The percentage of companies that remain in the index after 10 years is about 30%. There have been about 116 companies that have gone through the index for the 15 year period form 1989 to 2004. So as a dividend investor, you should expect year over year changes in the index.
The average company stayed 6.5 years in the S&P Dividend Aristocrats index from the time of its addition.
Judging by the low initial number of dividend aristocrats in 1989, I think that the companies with continuous uninterrupted payment increases for periods of over a quarter of a century are a recent phenomenon, born from the ashes of the 1973- 1974 bear market. I am not sure whether dividend aristocrats have existed before 1980's. That does mean though that this form of investing is a fad. Even if you continuously updated your dividend aristocrats' portfolio, you would have achieved superior returns over the broad market averages .
Since the aristocrats only stay in the index for 6.5 years, shouldn't an investor, who seeks continuous dividend raises for a maximum amount of years, invest in the dividend achievers? I do not have any historical data on the annual changes in the components on this index. Based off my limited observations over the past couple of years though, it seems to me that only 20 to 30 % of the 300+ dividend achievers out there would one day become dividend aristocrats. It also seems to me that some companies join the achievers list for a couple of years and then leave it for a while due to a difficult financial situation, only to come back several years after that.
So how will the data, presented above affect my strategy? Basically I do expect that almost all of the stocks that I buy will someday cut their dividend or freeze it for a period of time. I plan on selling companies that cut or suspend their dividend. I would not plan on selling companies that simply do not raise their dividend for a period of time, assuming that the company met my entry criteria in the first place though.
I also plan on continuously scan the market for opportunities that fit my entry criteria and allocate no more than 1% of my portfolio in a single instrument.

Skip to comments.Erika Harold, Former Miss America, Runs for Congress
Posted on 05/11/2012 7:19:22 AM PDT by jakerobins
After voters sent a former "Saturday Night Live" star (Sen. Al Franken), a hit recording artist (former Rep. Sonny Bono) and an astronaut (former Sen. John Glenn) to Congress, a former Miss America Pageant winner wants to try her hand at lawmaking.
Erika Harold, who won the Miss America crown in 2003, passed the first hurdle this week in becoming the Republican candidate to replace Illinois Rep. Tim Johnson, who dropped out of the race two weeks after winning the GOP nomination in March.
The GOP county chairman tapped Harold, a Harvard Law School graduate who now works as a litigation attorney in Chicago, as one of four potential candidates to take on the Democratic nominee, physician David Gill, in November's general election.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
A republican, black, female, lawyer in Chicago that wants to run for congress.
There is a distinct aroma of COMBINE in the air, yes?
Within the next 10 years....you watch, a Porn Star will be elected to Congress.
If her head is screwed on right, the Miss America aspect is incidental
It seems like everyone running for Congress attended Harvard Law School.
I hear they even have American Indians on the faculty there!
[Within the next 10 years....you watch, a Porn Star will be elected to Congress.]
It's already happened in Italy and she kinda used it to get elected.
This one, unlike the fraud president from Harvard Law School, is actually a licensed attorney.
I'm from the Washington, DC area. Throw a rock around here and you hit a lawyer!
Yep, that's where we're headed.
We need to elect a horse. Rome declined and so do we.
It did happen in Italy. I was there for the festivities!
What's your address, will send you a truck load of rocks. It's a start.
I could probably be a better judge of her abilities if there was a photo of her taken during the swimsuit portion of the pageant.
"A republican, black, female, lawyer in Chicago that wants to run for congress."
Does she support LGBT? /s
"Within the next 10 years....you watch, a Porn Star will be elected to Congress."
Wasn't one - porn star - elected in Italy a few years back?
I thought anyone running for Congress was required to have attended Harvard Law School.
Please, someone give Kerry a unibrow in that photo!
Hey, Quick Shot, two Washington area jokes for you:
1) What do you call 100 lawyers on the bottom of the Potomac?
A good start.
2) If a "Washington Post" reporter saw Christ walk on the water, what would be the headline of his story be the next day?
I thought Nancy and Barbara....never mind.
Gotta love her sticking to her principles!
Not guilty! (Just in case she's ever arrested for anything).
Isn't there a picture of Bawney Fwank in drag floating around here that qualifies as porn.
No, it doesn't have an aroma of combine. She's conservative, so the combine wouldn't approve of her.
In Feb. 2008, Tim Balderman won the republican primary in Illinois' 11th Congressional District. About a month later, he dropped out of the race, and the district's county GOP chairman took about six weeks to choose Marty Ozinga to be the nominee. That delay probably helped then-State Sen. Debbie Halvorson win the election. I hoped that county GOP chairmen would learn from that race. On about March 25, 2012, each county chairman should have chosen whom he or she would like to nominate, if a congressional candidate, for that county, drops out of the race. On April 5, Congressman Tim Johnson dropped out of the race, and the nominee should have been chosen by April 20. We're still waiting for a nominee.
Why not, we all ready elected one President.
What did Abraham Lincoln say to Uhura on Star Trek? My.......
I would hit that for a week!

2) Politicians of ANY stripe, especially those who have held a seat in the opposite house
3) Entertainers
4) Beauty Queens
5) Porn stars (look it up)
6) Trust fund babies (see: Kennedy x 3)
7) Old-money babies (see: anyone connected to Rothchilds, Rockefellers, or Soros)
That's my dream for Congress.
Yeah, I know, not going to happen.
Do you agree that county republican chairmen should have learned from that 2008 race? If so, why didn't they plan, well, two months ago? I think that they didn't think about planning ahead.
LOL, Good point.
Thanks jakerobins.
Yeah, lessons learned. But given the lack of quality wins lately, they probably aren't too energized to "git er done".
I am so glad I'm in Tejas now. I still keep up with Chicago...I listen to WLS online every afternoon.
Incitatus for senator!
When I was a young adult, I read of an interesting concept.
For Senate and Congress, have the positions filled by random drawing from the public. Much like getting a jury duty notice when you vote. If you are selected, you 'serve' for four years and then you are released back to the private industry. You receive a nice salary during your time of service. You have to go back and 'live' with the laws you ruled on.
Objections arise, such as that this would mean Congress would be full of women, alcoholics, bums, perverts, homos, child-molesters, criminals, and the mentally ill.
I say, how is that any different than what is there now?

second book in the "Strong Winds" trilogy is more enjoyable
than The Salt-Stained Book, as some of the first episode's
nasty characters are developed as actively conspiring against
our heroes Donny and Skye, with the (topical) motive of
exploiting illegal immigrants.
In A Ravelled Flag, Donny and his growing number of allies
are still battling the school and social services, but what
first appeared to be immovable bureaucracy is gradually
revealed to be criminal malice. As required of all juvenile
fiction, the baddies are foiled but are still around, their
comeuppance to be looked forward to in the concluding volume,
Ghosting Home.
In this, her second book for children, Julia Jones continues
with abundant allusion to Arthur Ransome's Swallows and
Amazons characters as well as many other works, particularly
R.L. Stevenson's Treasure Island and Longfellow's Song of
Hiawatha; the writer's skill is evident in the constant
references not being too leaden in their effect.

Installing a Blower on a Big Block MoparWritten by on August 1, 2004 Injecting a 500 Inch Big Block with Boost
We all know the formula for making big power. it goes something likethis: compression, cam with duration as long as your arm, expensivehigh-flowing cylinder heads, big fuel-swilling carburetors. But the listdoesn't stop there. Factor in the high-octane race fuel (read:expensive), a higher-than-practical stall torque converter, deep gearsto accommodate the heads, cam, and carb, oh, and lousy street manners toboot. But fret not, as there is a way to make full-time, obscene,gut-wrenching power without sacrificing streetability on the altar ofthe speed gods, and that way is the way of the supercharger. IndyCylinder Head needs no introduction to the Mopar faithful. They haverecently expanded their already mind-boggling assortment of heads,intakes, and crate motors to include supercharger kits created inconjunction with the Blower Shop (to be sold separately or as an optionon their already stout crate engines). We had the chance to witness oneof Indy's 8-71 blower kits installed on the Holley Road Runner "ProjectM" that was already sporting a stout 500-inch Indy crate big-block. Theentire installation and subsequent dyno testing was performed onHorsepower TV that aired in March. Such a combination producesmind-numbing power, fat torque, great drivability, and unrivaledreliability all on available pump premium gas. Hell, we are so confidentin its reliability that we are going to be driving this beast of aPlymouth on Hot Rod magazine's Power Tour this year with a similiarblown powerplant. That's a 1,500-mile round trip that will test themerits of Indy's creation. Stay tuned.

Indy Cylinder Head builds a number of Hemi and wedge crate engines tosuit anyone's needs from mild stock displacement street engines tomulticarbureted big-inch thumpers. Indy is a one-stop shop. Thisparticular gem of an engine displaces 500 ci, 8.25:1 compression ratio(ours was spec'd to run a blower, so the 10:1 pistons were notutilized), a moderate Comp Cams solid flat-tappet cam, and an Indydual-plane intake manifold. Able to produce over 400 lb-ft of torque ata basement-level 2,500 rpm and featuring 8.25:1 compression and aluminumcylinder heads, one would have to possess a single-digit IQ to inducedetonation. To say that this wedge would make a great street enginewould be an understatement of epic proportions.The former Holley Road runner project spun the rollers of the Dynojet tothe tune of 436 horses at 5,500 rpm and 468 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm(see dyno results chart) through an 18-spline Hemi four-speed and a3.54-geared Dana 60. This engine would undoubtedly make more power if ithad been equipped with a larger header, as the 17/8-inch units weredeemed too small for such an application. The Muscle CarRestorations-built Road runner is one of the cleanest cars the MoparMuscle staff has ever had the pleasure of laying our mitts on.Indy's blower kit consists of a Blower Shop 8:71 supercharger, Indyblower manifold, drive pulleys, blower belt, carburetor plate, fuellines, linkage, and all necessary gaskets and fasteners. Carburetorchoice is made by the buyer.Indy Cylinder Head's 500-inch crate motor is normally spec'dwith a pump-premium-friendly 10:1 compression ratio. In this blowerapplication, a more appropriate 8.25:1 Wiseco piston is specified. Thesolid Comp Cams grind features a wide 112-degree lobe sepapration angle (LSA). An excellent Holley 950-cfm HP vacuum secondary carburetor was the fuel mixer of choice.After performing the dyno test with the single four-barrel in place, wequickly removed the intake to make way for the iron lung.Indy's intake manifold features Max Wedge-size ports and runners. Thebig-block Mopar lends itself to a truly easy blower installation as thedistributor doesn't need to be removed, and there is no water in theintake manifold. Our RB was equipped with an Indy-manufactured valleypan making intake swaps a snap.The blower kit comes with a pulley combination that yields a 1:1 ratio,meaning the huffer is neither under-driven nor over- driven, resultingin 8 to 10 pounds of boost. The lower crank pulley is installed at 125lb-ft of torque, while the six retaining bolts of the blower pulley gettorqued to 25 lb-ft.Prior to installing the blower, the case needs to be filled with gearlube. loosen the idler assembly with an Allen wrench. Next, swing theidler out of the way to gain access to the oil filler hole. Remove theplug and fill the case with gear lube. In this instance, we used RoyalPurple Max Gear lubricant and then used Teflon tape on the pipe plugbefore resealing the case.
As with many roots blower kits, this one comes with aluminum studs tomate the blower to the intake manifold. The aluminum studs were designedto stretch and break in nitro applications, where explosions are fairlycommonplace. Here Ken Lezzari torques the blower studs down to 12 lb-ft.It is also a good idea to use antiseize on the threads.The idler assembly is used to adjust belt alignment and tension. Inorder to adjust tension, a fixed point is picked (in this case thebelt's passenger-side edge) and measured. Next, the belt on thedriver'side is pulled outward, and the amount of play is measured.Adjust the idler until you are able to move the belt only 3/4 inch. Thebelt will get tighter when the engine gains heat as the parts expand.The carburetor plate gets bolted to the top of the blower case using ascreened gasket. Not only does the gasket provide a seal, it alsoprevents loose parts and debris from working its way into the blower andwreaking havoc.A pair of Holley HP blower carburetors (rated at 750 cfm each) wereperched atop the supercharger. The carbs were used out of the box withno modifications and performed flawlessly.The throttle linkage and fuel lines are manufactured by Enderle. Thefuel lines are prebent stainless steel with AN fittings and provide notonly perfect function, but also clean routing.The aesthetic appeal of a roots-style blower is second to none. TheBlower Shop sets up their street superchargers with billet end-plates,anodized rotors, Teflon seals, and more case clearance for street use.With all the right hand tools (nothing exotic is required), anyone withbasic mechanical skills is able to install Indy's blower kit in thecomfort of their own garage. Also, Chrysler's fantastic RB motor lendsitself well to making the swap from normal to pressurized aspiration.

When we had our first shot at the 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe, we described it as "audacity in motion." After all, the new Caddy coupe is indeed one of the most attractive designs to come out of General Motors in quite some time.
In an effort to get these hot new two-plus-twos out on the road as soon as possible, Cadillac is ramping up production of the CTS Coupe a bit early, and the first few models are starting to roll off of assembly lines at GM's Lansing Grand River assembly plant. Pricing starts at $38,990 for the base, rear-wheel-drive model, which will be joined by the pavement-bending CTS-V Coupe later this year.
Check out the sexy new CTS Coupe for yourself in the gallery below, and hit the jump to read Cadillac's press release.

Japanese version cheats
The way to get them working seemed slightly different to the English version to me, so I thought I'd post it here in case anyone else has any problems. Don't start giving me shit for trying to be helpful.
Start a new saved game.
Do the first chapter legitimately without any cheats.
Once you're done, and into chapter 2, quit the game.
Start another new game (without cheats still).
Play until the first checkpoint.
Quit out again.
Go to load chapter 1 in level select.
Enable the cheat codes.
Get to the same checkpoint as you did before.
Cheats will still show as active (disable them manually).
Unpause the game.
Turn the cheats back on.
Quit the game.
Click continue from the main menu.
(For some reason the game wouldn't turn the cheats off automatically so I had to do it manually and it worked,
thought I'd post the information here in case anyone else has the same problems.)

The Classical Scene: The Sound of 'Bullycide'
'Moses,' American Symphony Orchestra
Carnegie Hall
881 Seventh Ave., (212) 247-7800
While Max Bruch is best known today for his G-minor violin concerto, "Kol Nidrei" and "Scottish Fantasy," he was also a composer of vocal and choral works. His dramatic two-hour oratorio, "Moses," meant to continue the story line of Handel's "Israel in Egypt," was first played in 1895, and, on Thursday, will be performed by the American Symphony Orchestra and Collegiate Chorale. Baritone Sidney Outlaw plays Moses, tenor Kirk Dougherty is Aaron and soprano Tamara Wilson is the Angel of the Lord. Conductor Leon Botstein gives a free-to-ticketholders lecture before the concert.
Orpheus Chamber Orchestra
Carnegie Hall
881 Seventh Ave., (212) 247-7800
Violinist Christian Tetzlaff joins the conductorless chamber orchestra for a concert of Hungarian-flavored music. In addition to Kodaly's "Hungarian Rondo" and Bartok's "Divertimento for Strings," the orchestra performs Hungarian violinist Joseph Joachim's second violin concerto. Joachim was also a composer in his own right, although he is much better known as a virtuoso violini and close friend of Brahms. This violin concerto, rarely performed today, is finger-twistingly difficult.
Yefim Bronfman
92nd Street Y
1395 Lexington Ave.,
(212) 415-5500
Philharmonic players join pianist Yefim Bronfman , this season's Philharmonic artist-in-residence, for Sunday afternoon chamber music. In addition to a Schubert sonatina for violin and piano and Brahms's F-minor piano quintet, the performers play Bartók's "Contrasts," for violin, clarinet and piano. Written for "King of Swing" jazz clarinetist Benny Goodman and violinist Joseph Szigeti, the Hungarian-influenced work was eventually played by Goodman, Szigeti and Bartók himself. Violinists Glenn Dicterow and Lisa Kim, violist Rebecca Young, cellist Maria Kitsopoulos and clarinetist Mark Nuccio from the Philharmonic join Mr. Bronfman for this concert.
'Rushes' and 'Bullycide'
Alexander Kasser Theater
Montclair State University, N.J.
(973) 655-5112
Saturday and Sunday
The Peak Performances series at Montclair State, a regular presenter of top-notch music, theater and dance, gives two local premieres this weekend. On Saturday, seven bassoonists perform "Rushes," by composer and Bang on a Can co-founder Michael Gordon. On Sunday, the Shanghai Quartet, which is in residence at Montclair, performs "Bullycide," by David Del Tredici, a composer who says his recent mission has been to create work that represents the gay experience. Mr. Del Tredici writes, "This time, [my inspiration] was the suicide of the young, gay violinist Tyler Clementi ; his desperate response to the relentless bullying of schoolmates." Also on the program are Haydn's "Quinten" quartet and Verdi's only string quartet.

Conventional: Coffee, Pastries And Video Conferencing
at the Democratic National Convention Former Vice President Al Gore came in loud and pretty clear this morning as his video-conferenced address to the Democratic National Convention's 56 delegations was piped into 23 hotels throughout Boston. The question: Was anyone listening? Massachusetts delegates filing in for breakfast at the Fairmont Copley Plaza hotel were largely unaware that Gore would be addressing them via video conference this morning. That would explain why only about half of the 122 delegates were seated in the Grand
The Politicization Of The Federal CIO Has George W. Bush politicized the office of CIO in federal departments and agencies? When Bush took office in January 2001, six of 26 IT shops at major departments and agencies were headed by political appointees. Today, that number has doubled to a dozen, though one of them-Homeland Security's Steve Cooper-heads a department that didn't exist until last year.
Guilt By Association Connecticut CIO Rock Regan is guilty of association. His crime: being a decades-long friend of a disgraced governor who quit July 1. His punishment: banishment from state government. Regan's been fired, but he isn't shedding any tears over his ouster. You shouldn't either.
The H-1B Brotherhood John Kerry and John Edwards, the Democrat's new ticket, seem to agree on H-1B visa policy; it's just hard to figure out what they agree on.

"Everybody say it with me!! Circumvesuviana" The train Tip by Jmill42
The train, Pompeii: 34 reviews and 25 photos
Pompeii is inbetween Naples and Sorrento, about 30 minutes from either of them by the hard-to-pronounce Circumvesuviana train This train runs hourly, so even during the high season, there should be room to squeeze on. The station you need to exit is the Pompei Scavi / Villa dei Misteri stop on the Naples to Sorrento line.
*** Be warned that there is a different Circumvesuviana line, which decidedly does not go to Sorrento but has a Pompeii stop. However this train leaves you with quite a walk to the entrance. ***

NANTERRE, France -- Former Cofidis cyclist David Millar, who
served a two-year doping ban, was acquitted by a French court Friday of involvement in another drug case.
The Scottish rider, who now competes for the
Saunier-Duval/Prodir team, was on trial with nine others in
Nanterre, near Paris, on charges of "acquiring and possessing
banned substances."
Prosecutor Jacques Hossaert had asked the court to acquit
Millar, saying his cooperation helped in the fight against doping.
Millar testified that intense pressure to perform led him to try
the banned blood-boosting hormone EPO.
Millar was banned for two years and stripped of his 2003 world
time-trial title after admitting using EPO once in 2001 and twice
in 2003 -- including at the Tour de France.
The team's former physiotherapist, Boguslaw Madejak, was
sentenced to one year in prison, nine months suspended. The
prosecutor accused Madejak of inciting cyclists to use banned
Seven other defendants, including current and former Cofidis
riders, were given suspended jail sentences of three to six months.
Italy's Massimiliano Lelli was acquitted.
The court also found Cofidis SA and Cofidis Competition guilty,
but assigned no fines, saying the proceedings had "shown the
pressure on the riders, who must absolutely obtain a result or risk
seeing their contract not renewed and losing all hope in cycling."

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - When a lawsuit was filed 45 years ago seeking a good education for blacks, they had to sit in the back of the bus, attended racially segregated schools and were outnumbered 3-to-1 by white students.
Much has changed, but the lawsuit lives on. As an estimated 52,000 students begin the school year Monday, all sides in the case see no end in sight for the East Baton Rouge Parish public system's legal problems.
The federal judge who oversaw the case for 20 years got so frustrated he took advantage of his senior status last month and walked away.
