PROVO, Utah '“ Gary Coleman, the child star of the smash 1970s TV sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes" whose later career was marred by medical and legal problems, has died after suffering an intercranial hemorrhage. He was 42.

Utah Valley Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Janet Frank says life support was terminated and Coleman died at 12:05 p.m. MDT.

Coleman, with his sparkling eyes and perfect comic timing, became a star after "Diff'rent Strokes" debuted in 1978. He played the younger brother in a pair of African-American siblings adopted by a wealthy white man.

His popularity faded when the show ended after six seasons on NBC and two on ABC.

He suffered continuing ill health from the kidney disease that stunted his growth and had a host of legal problems in recent years.

This is very sad news, I was very into Slipknot back in my middle school days when I first got into rock/metal. I sort of lost interest in them as time went on but still thought they were a cool band. My condolences to Paul's loved ones, RIP sad

I've always been a Star Wars buff myself. I had many of the SW toys from the mid-nineties as a kid, I'll never forgive myself for not taking care of them well and getting rid of them. I'm not harsh on the new trilogy, they're definitely not masterpieces but they weren't bad enough that they tainted my love for the original trilogy.  The one thing Lucas did that bothered me was the "sister twist" in Return of the Jedi. I think what would have worked better if Leia was a descendant of a past Jedi knight (perhaps Qui Gon Jinn's niece) which would've explained why Yoda knew there was "another hope" and Leia using the force to find Luke at the end of Empire Strikes Back.

I loved the Battlefront video games, I hope soon they'll make Battlefront III or some bad-ass Star Wars game, with online multiplayer too. Imagine the insults that would be exchanged between the Loyal SW fans and the anti-Lucas SW fans, lol!

Yeah, that's the truss rod. Was there a special wrench in your case candy?

No, I bought  it used. I guess it requires a different tool that I didn't know of to adjust it.

Let me know if you need it more clear, I'll try again.

It's too late now but I'll try using my web cam or cheap digital camera tomorrow.

My bad, a truss rod adjustment is what I meant. I know how to do one, it's just that something is in the way of where you would insert the allen wrench to adjust it. Would it be better if I took it to a professional, what would be the cost of the repair?
