| Hi there.I hope I'm formatting this correctly I've never posted here before. I'm a big fan of [[Robert Culp]] and I'm curious about the part about him being a helicopter pilot. I'm part of the I Spy Fan community and most of the folks there are dedicated lifelong fans and no one over there has evey heard of him being a pilot.He never mentioned it in any of his interviews, such as his three hour archive interview. I was wondering where you got your information from? Not arguing, just want to increase our Culp knowledge base. Would dearly love any info you have.Also do you have any furher info on the skeet shooting competitions or guns that he had?.We only have one photo of the skeet shooting, no details about competion. As near as we can tell he owned the S&W from Trackdown and the rifles from Home to Judgement. But would love to know any other info about his collection.There's quite a bit of info available about his training, fast draw etc. from his Trackdown days but not much after. Thanks [[User:TVFAN|TVFAN]]

|
| Thanks for the feedback on the pages. I'm glad you like them. I having a bit of trouble coming up with some of the info for the older, less common guns. I'm mainly working from Wikipedia which is woefully lacking in information when it comes to Colts. Also, many of the individual pages for these guns are very poorly thrown together. Any information you can fill in would be great! I think S&W will be the LAST page I do... Happy holidays. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 16:34, 27 December 2011 (CST)

| | :It's the wrong gun though, they are two different versions with different sights.

| Pat Frank’s ‘Alas, Babylon,’ 50 years later
| |
| He loved to tell a tale — party yarns of his globe-trotting exploits, a made-up children’s story that went on every night for years, a best-selling novel about a world in radioactive flames.
| |
| | |
| He loved to booze — epic drinking bouts that went on for weeks, until his money ran out and he had another story to write.
| |
| | |
| And he loved women, who loved him right back, he was so damned charming. One quick story: His brother remembers going to his Atlantic Beach house one day and finding several naked or just-about naked women, hanging about the place. No big deal, apparently.
| |
| | |
| In his 57 years, Pat Frank went from Jacksonville Journal cub reporter to international war correspondent, from novelist to government official. He saw Mussolini dead, hanging from his feet in Milan. He traveled with John F. Kennedy on his 1960 presidential campaign. He wrote a Hollywood script for Rock Hudson.
| |
| | |
| It’s his novel “Alas, Babylon,” though, that is Frank’s lasting legacy — a harrowing, human story published 50 years ago, in 1959. The novel, set in a small Florida town after a nuclear attack on the United States, was an instant hit. It’s been reprinted many times; it’s found on high school reading lists; and it’s invariably put high on lists of the best post-apocalyptic fiction.
| |
| | |
| And it lives on, a half-century later, on YouTube, where high school students have posted numerous video adaptations of “Alas, Babylon” (wrote one admirer: “I just finished that book. It kicked butt.”)
| |
| | |
| Five years after “Alas, Babylon” was published, Pat Frank would be dead, his body shutting down after decades of drinking. The years of adventuring and boozing and writing finally caught up with him, here in Jacksonville, his hometown.
| |
| | |
| It wasn’t a long life, but it was a full one. As he wrote in a memoir: “I have seen all the continents and all the oceans.”
| |
| | |
| “He was bigger than life,” says his daughter, Perry Frank, “bigger than the problems he had.”
| |
| | |
| Pat Frank’s younger half-brother, Billy Barwald, turns 91 next month. He says Pat could not be counted upon when he was drinking, which was often. When he was sober? He was witty, irreverent, brilliant.
| |
| | |
| He saw his brother’s rise to the top, saw him dazzle readers and admirers. He saw his self-destructive spiral, and he drove him to the hospital where he died, bloated and wasted.
| |
| | |
| “I guess he ran through a couple of million dollars in his lifetime,” Barwald says. “And when he died, everything he owned could be put in a bushel basket.”
| |
| | |
| The teleprinter chattered again. “PK TO CIRCUIT. BIG EXPLOSION IN DIRECTION OF JX. WE CAN SEE MUSHROOM CLOUD.” PK meant Palatka, a small town on the St. Johns south of Jacksonville. Florence rose ... “I’m very sorry, Mr. Quisenberry,” she said, “but I can’t send this. Jacksonville doesn’t seem to be there any more” — from Pat Frank’s “Alas Babylon” (1959)
| |
| | |
| When the census-taker came by to see Pat Frank in 1950, he told her his profession: “beachcomber.” She, “a literal-minded lady,” apparently believed him. Probably because when she found him in Atlantic Beach, he was wearing only torn khaki shorts and a three-day beard, his typewriter had corroded in the salt air and he was sitting cross-legged on the floor working on his fishing tackle.
| |
| | |
| Atlantic Beach was his refuge. Frank had spent summers there as a boy, and as a man he often found himself back in the sunny beach town, “a sleepy backwater unruffled by the tourist stream racing down Route A1A.”
| |
| | |
| In his 1953 memoir, “The Long Way Round,” he wrote about belonging to “the Atlantic Beach Navy,” a drinking group in which “everyone is an admiral and your only duty is to have fun.” He wrote about water-skiing in the low-tide sloughs, pulled along the beach by car. He wrote of drinking moonshine whiskey while catching sharks, using a live chicken as bait, attached by a line to the axle of his rusty Model-T. When they got a bite, they cranked the car, put it into low and yanked the shark out of the ocean.
| |
| | |
| And he told how his journalism career blossomed profitably at age 16 as he tried to make enough money to take dancing “the most beautiful creature I have ever seen in my life.” She too was 16, “with tawny hair and eyes that changed shade with the moods of the sea and a body molded to slip easily into the sea, where she played most of the day, to the awe and astonishment of the tourists from Georgia and Alabama.”
| |
| | |
| More on his budding journalism careers follows, in a bit. But first, briefly, the women.
| |
| | |
| “I don’t care how ratty he looked, how crummy he looked, women loved him,” says his sister, Dolly Grunthal, 83, who still lives in Atlantic Beach. Frank was a good-looking man when he was younger, she says, but there was more than that: He could talk on any subject, and he was always ready for a party. “He charmed them,” she says.
| |
| | |
| His brother puts it a little more bluntly. “Wherever he was, there was alcohol and women, in large quantities.”
| |
| | |
| You can love many times in a lifetime, and for many reasons, and no love diminishes a man — Pat Frank, “The Long Way Round” (1953)
| |
| | |
| Pat Frank was born in Chicago in 1908, named after his father, Harry Hart Frank, though he always went by Pat. His father died of influenza when Pat was young, and so the boy moved to Florida with his mother, Doris, a member of the Cohen family that had started the department store firm. She later married Mont Barwald of Jacksonville, and the family moved to St. Johns Avenue and Cherry Street in Riverside.
| |
| | |
| The family also had a beach house between Sixth and Seventh streets in Atlantic Beach, where they went in the summer. In the mid-1920s, the enterprising teen became Atlantic Beach correspondent for the old Jacksonville Journal, a job, he notes, “about as far down the scale of reporting as one can get.”
| |
| | |
| How much he got paid depended on how much he wrote. That led to frustration because he soon found he had “written about everything that had happened in Atlantic Beach since the first Spaniard put his foot there.”
| |
| Remember: He had to have money to take out that tawny-haired 16-year-old.
| |
| | |
| He clearly needed to write more.
| |
| | |
| So, under the guise of journalism, he ventured into fiction, inventing a new rich family that had come to summer in Atlantic Beach. They and their children were, he told the Journal’s readers, busy with all sorts of parties and comings and goings — all which Pat wrote about in great, embroidered detail.
| |
| | |
| It was all made up, all a crock. And he was, inevitably, caught. After a stern talking-to, he somehow managed to keep his job, which he returned to, somewhat chastened and smarter.
| |
| | |
| By 21, after a couple of years at the University of Florida, he’d gone from the Jacksonville Journal to the big time on New York papers. From there, he went to the Washington Times-Herald, where he became “the paper’s crime and disaster expert, in attendance at every throat-slitting, husband-poisoning, and ‘I-killed him-because-I-loved-him’ episode on the Atlantic seaboard, plus kidnappings, floods, the World Series, and the opening days in Congress and at Pimlico.”
| |
| | |
| Then came World War II. Frank was hired by what became the Office of Strategic Services, which would evolve into the CIA. He represented the United States in Australia and Turkey, then quit to become a war correspondent in Europe. After the fighting, he covered the Iron Curtain lowering over Eastern Europe, witnessing the bravery and the folly and the horror of war, the ineptitude of bureaucracy. On the other side of the world, mushroom clouds grew over Japan.
| |
| | |
| All that would inspire his next career: novelist.
| |
| | |
| There is no lonelier stretch of beach on the Atlantic than the twenty miles between Ponte Vedra and St. Augustine, in northern Florida ... — the opening line of Pat Frank’s “Forbidden Area” (1956)
| |
| | |
| Frank’s first novel, “Mr. Adam,” was published in 1946 and sold 2 million copies. It was an irreverent satire about the one fertile man left in America after a nuclear disaster. He proves to be a wanted man, both by women and the authorities.
| |
| | |
| Frank returned to the nuclear threat in “Forbidden Area” (1956), in which Soviet saboteurs landed on the same North Florida beach where Nazi spies came ashore in World War II. The book’s a cliffhanger in which the world comes to the brink of nuclear war.
| |
| | |
| That war came, of course, in “Alas, Babylon,” with millions upon millions dead and the survivors left “to face the thousand-year night.”
| |
| | |
| In 1962, in time for the Cuban Missile Crisis, Frank revisited that world in a short (and now rare) non-fiction book called “How to Survive the H Bomb and Why.” (His one foolproof way to survive? Move to Tasmania.)
| |
| Frank wrote eight books in all, and numerous articles for magazines such as Collier’s and Playboy.
| |
| | |
| He did much of his writing in Florida, often in Atlantic Beach or at his parents’ house on Loretto Road in Mandarin, where years before they had moved their old Riverside house.
| |
| | |
| His brother, Billy Barwald, lives on what remains of that property, where he and his son Mike run Flying Dragon Citrus Nursery.
| |
| | |
| Billy says Pat would run out of money and come home to write. Billy would pick him up at the airport. He’d be in terrible shape. They’d take him home to Loretto Road. He’d dry out, then start writing — a book, a magazine article, even a film script.
| |
| | |
| Billy remembers that his brother was dead broke one day, then flourishing a $25,000 check the next, courtesy of honchos in Hollywood. (It might have been for a proposal for “Man’s Favorite Sport?,” which became a Rock Hudson-Paula Prentiss sex comedy directed by Howard Hawks).
| |
| | |
| Pat wanted Billy to drive him to the Buick dealership for a new car. Why not? He had the cash.
| |
| | |
| Billy, all these years later, gives a little laugh, half admiring, half reproachful.
| |
| | |
| “It just came that easily to him,” Billy says.
| |
| | |
| I could also visualize doctors, chemists, bacteriologists, and physicists … working frantically to discover new and better methods to depopulate the earth … This makes no sense to me. If I were a psychiatrist, I’d diagnose mankind as suffering with a combination of paranoia and schizophrenia, caused by the trauma of wars, a sense of guilt, and acute fear. What is needed is a long period of peace and rest — Pat Frank, “The Long Way Round”
| |
| | |
| Frank had two children from an early marriage: Perry, 68, who lives in Washington, D.C., and Patrick, 64, who lives in South Carolina. Both are writers, and both say they’re approached several times a year by people who want to make a movie of “Alas, Babylon.” It’s never happened, although CBS’ “Playhouse 90” did a live adaptation after it was published, with Dana Andrews, Kim Hunter, Rita Moreno, Barbara Rush and Burt Reynolds in an early, small role.
| |
| | |
| Most or all of “Alas, Babylon” was written in Mount Dora in Central Florida. Frank lived there with his last wife, Dodie, who’s remembered as a strong-willed, remarkably beautiful woman who, for years, was able to keep Frank sober and on track.
| |
| | |
| “He was, for some period, quite normal,” says Billy.
| |
| | |
| Around the time Pat and Dodie divorced, after the success of “Alas, Babylon,” Frank relapsed into alcoholism. A staunch Democrat, he worked on John Kennedy’s election campaign, and he went to Washington to work in the civil defense department — still living under that nuclear shadow.
| |
| | |
| In the fall of 1964, he came home one last time. He looked terrible, Billy says, and was soon in the hospital. He died on Oct. 12. The cause of death was listed as inflammation of the pancreas.
| |
| | |
| Perry Frank says she knows her father was an alcoholic, but that’s not how she pictures him. She sees him as the dad who loved hurricanes, who taught her to fish, who night after night for years made up “The Kaya Kaya and Feeta Feeta Adventure,” a saga of two children on an island.
| |
| | |
| She and her brother visited him frequently at the beach, where he seemed happiest. And that’s how Patrick Frank pictures his father: “I see him at his beach house, with his big map of the world, his big library, his typewriter, the ocean off to the left. I think his creativity kind of blossomed — that’s the image that comes to mind — in Atlantic Beach.”

| == Infoboxes ==
| |
| | |
| Hey. So first off, a disclaimer, I am posting the following message for each of the Admins so don't think I'm spamming. Just want to get input from all of you. I have been working on a number of infoboxes for different pages ([[Template:Infobox Movie]], [[Template:Infobox TV]], [[Template:Infobox Video Game]]). I have already gotten some help from [[Bunni]] who installed an additional add-on to facilitate the templates. I would love to get some feedback from you (and other admins) regarding these. Do you like the format? Are there things you would like changed? Should additional information be added? The nice thing is that with the add-on that [[Bunni]] installed, you do not have to provide all the information for the infobox. Any variables left blank will simply not be printed.
| |
| | |
| Finally, I would like to see how you feel about my adding these to pages. I have gotten positive feedback from a number of users (including at least 3 admins) but before I add this to more than a dozen or so pages (which I have done for testing purposes) I want to really get full permission. I know that sweeping changes are a '''MAJOR''' no-no without full admin approval. Check out the thread in the forum (http://forum.imfdb.org/showthread.php?t=1942). I look forward to hearing your feedback! :-) --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 11:16, 9 May 2012 (CDT)

| == M1912 Chilean Contract Mauser info. ==
| |
| | |
| These rifles were based on the [[Gewehr 98]], but had a simplified tangent-leaf rear sight and a longer handguard, and were chambered in 7x57mm Mauser, which was Chile's standard rifle cartridge since 1895. Both a conventional 29.1"-barreled long rifle (with sight graduated to 2000m) and a 21.75"-barreled short rifle with a turned-down bolt (and sight graduated to 1400m) were ordered. The order was placed with Waffenfabrik Steyr, in Vienna, Austria, but due to the outbreak of World War I only 38,000 or so were delivered to Chile, and all further rifles produced were delivered to the Austro-Hungarian Army. In the late 1950's Chile adopted the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge as their standard rifle cartridge. Numerous M1912 long rifles were then converted to 7.62x51mm for use as war reserve. The rifles were converted either by drilling out the old barrel and re-rifling, or by mounting new barrels on the rifles, I'm not sure which. Some converted long rifles retained their 29.1" barrels, but many were converted to 23.5" short rifle types. These can be distinguished from original M1912 short rifles by their straight bolt handles and 23.5" barrels, as well as a rear sight graduated to 2000m. Steyr manufacturing quality is of the highest order, and these are some of the best M98-type Mausers to have. I have also seen a couple 7.62 NATO M1912 short rifles with 10-round integral magazines that were apparently made for police use.--[[User:Stomper|Stomper]] 13:40, 22 July 2012 (CDT)

| | |
| As the resident wheelgun expert, I would wondering if you could shed some light on an ID I've been trying to make. Please take a look [[Talk:Hunted,_The_(1995)|here]]. It appears to be a Colt. It might be the same unknown revolver in ''[[Talk:Highlander|Highlander]]''. I initially called it a custom job, but I don't think it's a one-off, since ''The Hunted'' and ''Highlander'' were filmed in Vancouver and NYC, respectively. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 10:15, 1 August 2012 (CDT)
| |
| :Thanks. I would've never gotten that in a million years. It makes sense that it'd be in ''The Hunted''. It wouldn't make sense if it was in ''Highlander'' though, so maybe it's not the same gun. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 10:52, 1 August 2012 (CDT)

| Hi there buddy! Long time no see. I was wondering. You posted on the S&W 659 page that the rounded trigger guard was before the squared trigger guard. Where did you get that info? Just curious. All the information I have is that the Squared came before the rounded. Thanks! [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] ([[User talk:MoviePropMaster2008|talk]]) 00:58, 9 September 2012 (EDT)

| ::Thanks for the input. Funny that it seems that the opposite was done for the 5906. The early models had the squared off trigger guards and all the later SNs had the rounded ones. Again, I defer to your input since you always back it up with references. On a side note, I tend to always buy the squared trigger guards, I like the look better. Again, thanks for your insight and wisdom. Always appreciated. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] ([[User talk:MoviePropMaster2008|talk]])

| ==Fatal Beauty AKS==
| |
| Why I changed the picture of the AKS type 1 you had put up to a AKS typ 3 was because the type 1 AKS is rearly if never seen in an live action movie as they were only manufactured from around 1947 to 1949, the difference is that the type 1 uses an early stamped receiver while the types 2 and 3 uses milled receivers. --[[User:Thejoker|Thejoker]] ([[User talk:Thejoker|talk]]) 12:06, 21 September 2012 (EDT)

| *Togusa from ''[[Ghost in the Shell]]'' and ''[[Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence]]'' uses a fictional Mateba variant referred to as a "Mateba M-M2007", which does not appear to be automatic. It uses the frame of the Model 6 and a barrel assembly like that of the 2006M.
| |
| *A unmodified 2006M makes a brief appearance in ''[[Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex]]''.
| |
| *''[[Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex]]'' and ''[[Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig|Ghost in the Shell S.A.C. 2nd Gig]]'' feature another fictional Mateba called the 2008M, which is much closer to the real Model 6 and features a barrel assembly like that of the 2006M.

| *Seen in Takizawa's closet in ''[[Eden of the East]]''.

| == Model 1887 ==
| |
| | |
| I'm note sure what the story behind you changing the 1887 pic was, I fixed the dead links yesterday but I don't know if the new one you uploaded is the same picture, so I removed it from MPM's list of images uploaded on his user page. If it's the same one, could you put it back and fix the link? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] ([[User talk:Evil Tim|talk]]) 03:41, 6 December 2012 (EST)
| |
| :Oh, I didn't restore it, I uploaded a picture of a shark in a monocle smoking a bubble pipe and saying "I say" just so I could find out what was linking there and link it to your new file instead. If it's the same image, just undo my last edit to MPM's user page and swap the broken file link for the new one. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] ([[User talk:Evil Tim|talk]]) 09:39, 6 December 2012 (EST)

| I don't know how you did it, but I feel indebted to you forever. This is exactly the information I've been looking for!
| |
| | |
| Please know that you now have a friend for life who will happily outfit you with tickets to a Steeler game upon any future visits to Pittsburgh as well as a trip to the local shooting range.
| |
| | |
| Well done and I'll certainly be saving the information before Colt comes after us for possessing such valuable information! Thanks!! - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]] ([[User talk:Speakeasy804|talk]]) 23:19, 9 December 2012 (EST)

| :Just been doing some work on Wikipedia lately. I'm working on Walther firearms right now but there are a LOT of S&W and Colt pages that need some serious work.

| | |
| I'm glad to make a good page about a good movie. BTW, I have a question about your last edit on the page: you changed "appears" to "plays". Some time ago I also used "plays" in such phrases, but I was corrected by Ben41: ''When writing actor summaries, please use the word "acted" or "appeared" instead of using the word "played"'', he said. So I'll change your edit back if you don't mind. Thanks. [[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 00:09, 5 January 2013 (EST)

| Thx. I bought ''The Laughing Policeman'' before having seen it. I actually didn't like it that much but the screenshots needed improvement. ;)

| == Revolver ID Help? ==
| |
| | |
| Hi, was talking to Funkychinaman and he recommended you.
| |
| I have a problem identifying Jaws ([[Richard Kiel]])s revolver in [[The Spy Who Loved Me]]. It bares a great resemblance to an Astra .357 revolver but the things that differ are the front sight and that the ejector rod on the weapon appears to be only semi-shrouded if you understand what I mean. Like if they had modified an Astra by sawing or filing away the part of the shroud that covered the sides of ejector rod but kept the front of it (don know of that’s possible, and I certainly don't know the reason for such a modification). Do you have any ideas or input on this? --[[User:Thejoker|Thejoker]] ([[User talk:Thejoker|talk]]) 12:28, 19 March 2013 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| :Here are a link to the type of Astra that I mean and the photos of Jaws weapon:

| Okey thanks! Then I'll put it up as an Astra .357 Revolver, is that it's official name by the way or does it have a model number/name? --[[User:Thejoker|Thejoker]] ([[User talk:Thejoker|talk]]) 12:45, 19 March 2013 (EDT)

| == Revolver ID Help Again? ==

| Hi, again. There are several revolvers I haven't been able to identify as I'm not that good at wheel-guns. But as you are, could you look at these pictures of various revolvers, some of them holstered, from [[Octopussy]] and see if there are some of them you know. --[[User:Thejoker|Thejoker]] ([[User talk:Thejoker|talk]]) 15:16, 19 March 2013 (EDT)
