California farmer aims to turn sweet potatoes into vodka gold
The only commercially distributed sweet potato vodka in the world is made in Atwater.
OK, before you get upset, yes, the Japanese spirit sochu is sometimes made from sweet potatoes. But David Souza's High Roller Vodka is something new.
Souza makes his vodka in small batches at a micro-distillery he assembled in his family's garage from a secret recipe that includes a blend of four types of sweet potatoes. The spuds are always fresh, as he and his family live and work on more than 1,000 acres of farmland.
"I've always farmed," said the 36-year-old Atwater native. "I've been on the farm since I was 7 years old. I never left it. But I want to take it to the next level, and this is my way. Because I'm a fourth-generation farmer. And every generation we've just gotten bigger and bigger. To me this is the next step. And hopefully my son can take it over."
When Souza started developing his vodka in 2007, he didn't have any idea what he was doing. He said he just bought a book on the Internet and started making one bottle at a time. After several years of research and working with a laboratory in Fresno, Souza said he came up with a concoction that was both tasty and economically viable.
"When you start with a potato, a wheat, a rye, a barley, you have a starch," he said. "You have to take that starch and turn it into a sugar. So what you do is you add enzymes. But sweet potatoes have very little starch and very little sugar. So it's a pain in the butt. Now I know why nobody uses sweet potatoes to make alcohol, because it's a pain."
When Souza started his vodka project, he had just returned from Los Vegas where he had owned a restaurant. Originally, he thought he could use his connections in Sin City to put his vodka on the top shelves of several popular nightclubs.
In March of last year, Souza presented his vodka at a competition in Las Vegas. There one of the tasters recommended he enter the World Spirits Competition in San Francisco.
"This guy comes up to me and he's like, 'I'm telling you, I'm a vodka drinker and this is the best vodka I've ever had,' " Souza recalled. " 'It beats out Ultimat, Ciroc -- all of those. You're the best vodka here.' And we're in the niche category. We've got this little tiny booth compared to all these big guys."
The only problem was that the deadline for entry was the next day. Souza ended up entering on a whim and paying more than $500 in entry fees and shipping costs to get his bottles to the judges on time.
Souza was so naïve about the prestigious competition that he and a friend tried to go to the Neko Hotel where the private tasting was being held.
"I tried to walk in, thinking we're going to check out all these different spirits, because there are over 1,200 spirits that enter from all over the world," he said. "So we walk up there and the guy's all, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing?' "
Souza can laugh at that now, especially since his High Roller Vodka was one of six vodkas out of 400 to take home a Double Gold prize.
"The only way to get a double gold is all 33 judges have to give you a gold medal on the blind tasting," he said. "So we were pretty stoked. When the judges got done, we had six of them contact us and say, 'That was the best vodka. Where can I buy it?' I'm, like, we're not even on the market yet."
Even then Souza admits he didn't understand the gravity of the award.
After the news got out about the competition, distributors contacted him from Austria, Australia, New Zealand, Costa Rica and Dubai.
High Roller Vodka is available in California and Florida or at sweetpotatovodka.com. After next month, the vodka will be available in Arizona, Tennessee, Nebraska and Las Vegas.
Souza said he's excited for the future but he admits he's just getting started. His family has been supportive, but he said they don't hesitate to remind him how much he has at stake.
"This is a tough business," he said. "My total investment so far is about half a million. And yeah, I'm nervous. I need to make that back. I have a family to feed. But I know the long haul of it is that we have a great product."

Treasury will reach borrowing limit between Feb. 15 and March 1.
The U.S. government may reach its debt ceiling Feb. 15, two weeks earlier than many had anticipated, according to a new report from the Bipartisan Policy Center.
The Treasury Department actually reached its borrowing limit on Dec. 31, 2012, according to Secretary Timothy Geithner, but "extraordinary measures" taken by the agency provided enough money to fund government for an estimated two additional months. BPC predicted in its report Monday that Treasury will hit the debt ceiling between Feb. 15 and March 1.
The measures, which provided $200 million in emergency funds, are similar to those Geithner took in the debt ceiling fight in the summer of 2011. At that time, the funds extended the federal government's ability to pay its bills from May 15 until Aug. 2. BPC predicted the funds would not last as long this time around.
Should the government hit its debt ceiling, Treasury will likely be forced to prioritize its spending, meaning it will pay some of its bills but not others.

Visa: You May be a Fraud Victim, But We Can't Tell You Why or How
David Paul may be the victim of a data breach. But he can't be sure.
Continue Reading Below
His bank sent him a letter recently with a new Visa credit card saying his information had been compromised, and he should update his automatic payment systems with the new card information.
According to Paul, the letter from US Bank said: "We have identified a potential risk to your account based on fraud patterns impacting a merchant or card processor." When Paul, 58, and a computer systems engineer at UC Berkley, called inquiring about the source of the breach, no one could tell him. The Visa (NYSE:V) card is issued through US Bank.
The Oakland, Calif., resident called the bank to inquire as to which merchant was the source of a potential fraud concern so he could modify his future purchases, but the representative wasn't able to tell him. He says the worker first put the blame on Target (NYSE:TGT), which suffered a massive data breach over the holiday season, and then Neiman Marcus, who had got breached late last summer.
But Paul told the person at the bank he hadn't shopped at either of the retailers during the times of the breaches.
Paul says he pressed the bank, but no one was able to tell him the source, and was told Visa wouldn't give the bank that information.
FOXBusiness.com reached out to US Bank for comment, and the bank directed all questions to Visa.
"I wasn't too surprised they wouldn't tell me, but it bothered me that they had two scapegoats with the Target and Neiman breaches," Paul says. "Being in the computer business, I know how prevalent and easy it is to put hacker software on the computer. But I am a little surprised how easy it is to put hacker software on a point-of-sale system and gather that data."
FOXBusiness.com reached out to Visa about Paul's situation and another potential breach, and a spokesperson was not able to elaborate more on any potential activity and said the company can't reveal the source of the potential breach while investigations are still ongoing.
"We also believe that the public interest is best served by quickly notifying financial institutions with the information necessary to protect themselves and their cardholders from fraud losses. Even a slight delay in notification to financial institutions could be costly," the spokesperson said in an e-mail statement. "Visa works with the breached entity to collect the necessary information and provides payment card issuers with the affected account numbers so they can take steps to protect consumers through independent fraud monitoring, and if needed, reissuing cards. The most critical information needed is the affected accounts, which Visa works to provide as quickly as possible."
The spokesperson also said in the statement it would be "unfair" to identify a single source of a compromise before a criminal and forensic investigations are complete. "Similarly, disclosing the name of the compromised entity would become a powerful disincentive for the compromised entity to share time-sensitive information with Visa and law enforcement. It's also important to recognize that law enforcement may request that the name of the compromised entity not be disclosed before the investigation is complete, as it has the potential to tip off the fraudsters and interfere with the criminal investigation," the statement said.
But as a customer, Paul says he has a right to know. Earlier this week, Attorney General Eric Holder called on Congress to create a national fraud and breach alert system to help to more quickly alert consumers if their information was potentially compromised. There are currently data breach notification laws across 46 states and the District of Columbia, but there isn't a national federal law in place.
For example, Target's breach was tipped off by cyber security expert Brian Krebs, who heard about the breach from banks who were dealing with credit card issues.
"I think part of my frustration too is that it's very easy for Visa, and the banks to control and sell your information, but when the tides are reversed, it's not that easy," Paul says.
But Rob Sadowski of RSA, a cyber security firm, says it's not that simple, and Visa may not know where the breach originated. "They don't want to jeopardize an ongoing investigation," he says. "In some cases, they may know there was a potential card fraud, but might not even know where it occurred."
And in California, where Paul lives, California Bill SC 1386, which covers card fraud notification, states, "The disclosure shall be made in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, consistent with the legitimate needs of law enforcement."
That being said, Sadowski says he sympathizes with Paul's frustrations as a consumer. He says the situation is common, but there is some good news: consumers do in many cases find out the source of the breach.
"The issuing bank is looking to stop fraud as quickly as possible, but the full investigation takes time," he says. "It's this lag in timing around the investigation, if [Paul] was notified where the breach occurred, that could give criminals time to cover their tracks."

this and the hard to use volume wheel are why I returned my PS04 the next day.I totally get what you're saying about the fiddly, menu driven Zoom gear.
have to disagree with that blanket statement.pop music is not musically driven, but sales driven
Pop, Country, Metal, Rap, Dance whatever, I think most people make the kind of music they make because that's what they like the most.
while all genres are likely to have people just trying to make money, I believe most people spending that kind time an effort are still trying to make something worthwhile.
as dickl & tony point out, a good song is one that can be played in a simple unadorned fashion and still hold up.
songs like this can usually cross style boundaries as well by just changing the arrangement and/or instrumentation.

Tuesday, March 5, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate Intelligence Committee voted Tuesday to approve President Barack Obama's pick to lead the CIA after winning a behind-the-scenes battle with the White House over access to a series of top-secret legal opinions that justify the use of lethal drone strikes against terror suspects, including American citizens.
John Brennan's installation at the spy agency has been delayed as Senate Democrats and Republicans have pressed the Obama administration to allow a review of the classified documents prepared by the Justice Department. The senators have argued they can't perform adequate oversight without reviewing the contents of the opinions, but the White House had resisted requests for full disclosure.
The intelligence committee's chairwoman, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said in a statement Tuesday that the committee voted 12-3 to send Brennan's nomination to the full Senate for confirmation. The panel's deliberations were held behind closed doors. Feinstein said all eight Democrats on the committee voted yes. She did not identify the Republican senators who voted against him.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., the committee vice chairman, said he voted against Brennan because he didn't think Brennan would create the kind of "trust relationship" between Congress and the CIA. He did not specify what his concerns were, however. But Chambliss said he would not encourage other Republican senators to attempt a filibuster of the nomination.
"He'll probably be confirmed," Chambliss said.
Feinstein said the full Senate should act quickly confirm Brennan, who spent 25 years at the CIA before later becoming Obama's top counterterrorism and homeland security adviser in the White House.
Although Brennan has made it out of the committee, Republicans have threatened to hold up his nomination unless the White House supplies them with classified information, including emails among top U.S. national security officials, detailing the Obama administration's actions immediately following the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya. U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed during the raid.
Feinstein said the White House has delivered the "great bulk" of the Benghazi records, and lawmakers are awaiting "a few odds and ends that need to come."
The White House released two out of a total of 11 Justice legal opinions to the intelligence committee just hours before Brennan's Feb. 7 confirmation hearing in front of the panel. Two other memos had already been released to the committee.
Feinstein attributed the White House's resistance to providing the memos to a difference of opinion between lawmakers and the Obama administration over what the documents represented.
"The White House tends to look at this as advice to the president, and therefore that advice is protected," she said. "We looked at it as the legal advice that undermines possible actions of agencies that we are charged with overseeing. So there are different views of this."
Brennan so far has escaped the harsh treatment that former Sen. Chuck Hagel, the president's choice to lead the Defense Department, received from Senate Republicans, even though Brennan is one of Obama's most important national security aides and the White House official who oversees the drone program.
During President George W. Bush's administration, Brennan served as a senior CIA official when waterboarding and other forms of "enhanced interrogation" and detention practices were adopted. Brennan has publicly denounced the use of these tactics, but the cloud hasn't gone completely away.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has said Brennan's stance on waterboarding and torture is inconsistent. Although Brennan has decried these methods, he also has said they saved lives, according to McCain, who said he is awaiting an explanation from Brennan. McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., are also leading the charge for the Benghazi records.
Brennan vigorously defended the use of drone strikes during his confirmation hearing. He declined to say whether he believes waterboarding, which simulates drowning, amounted to torture. But he called the practice "reprehensible" and said it should never be done again. Obama ordered waterboarding banned shortly after taking office.
Drone strikes are employed only as a "last resort," Brennan told the committee. But he also said he had no qualms about going after U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki in September 2011. A drone strike in Yemen killed al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, both U.S. citizens. A drone strike two weeks later killed al-Awlaki's 16-year-old son, a Denver native.
Brennan spent 25 years at the CIA before moving in 2003 from his job as deputy executive director of the agency to run the Terrorist Threat Integration Center. He later worked as interim director of the center's successor organization, the National Counterterrorism Center.
When Bush's second term began in 2005, Brennan left government to work for a company that provides counterterror analysis to federal agencies. After Obama took office in 2009, he returned to the federal payroll as the president's top counterterrorism adviser in the White House.
If confirmed by the full Senate, Brennan would replace Michael Morell, the CIA's deputy director who has been acting director since David Petraeus resigned in November after acknowledging an affair with his biographer.

KROHNE Marine introduces a new version EcoMATE™: the software system for fuel consumption monitoring now also includes monitoring and reporting of carbon emissions for ships.
Fuel consumption monitoring of the ship's main engines and generators is crucial to the organisation's effort to increase energy efficiency and to reduce emissions. Ciaran Holden, Engineering Superintendent at the Africa Mercy, was searching for a monitoring solution that allowed the charity to comply with EU MRV and IMO regulations to monitor, report and verify the vessel's emissions in terms of CO2.
The ship-owner and the Chinese shipyard decided to go for KROHNE system delivery with well-proven marine solutions. Deciding factors were previous experience with KROHNE as manufacturer and their extensive references, providing instruments and measurement solutions to the marine industry since 1957.
Polarcus decided in favour of a solution combining the EcoMATETM fuel consumption and carbon emission monitoring system with KROHNE Coriolis mass flowmeters.
Anthony Veder Group decided in favour of a solution combining the EcoMATETM fuel consumption and carbon emission monitoring system with Coriolis mass flowmeters.
The system from KROHNE will not only enable the Africa Mercy to operate more sustainable, but also makes the ship future compliance proof.
KROHNE Marine has from July 17th 2017 granted Alpha Marine Engineering S.A. our exclusive marine agent representativeness in the Greece & Cyprus region.
KROHNE Marine is proud to announce that we get to take part in the Maersk Line PtP program.

My Books
Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture
Over the last few years, I've succumbed to an unfortunate addiction - that of writing books. Although after each book I seriously consider giving it up, I haven't yet succeeded. If you have a similarly uncontrollable urge to read books (I've got that disease too) then here's a list of the books that I've written. You can buy the books in various paper and electronic formats.
Signature Series
Enterprise Integration Patterns
In 2002 Addison-Wesley launched their signature series. The idea is that their leading authors would host a small series of books that they felt were particularly special.
I was one of the first "signers" and I wanted a demanding set of criteria for the books in my series. Each book should be an excellent, in-depth coverage of its topic. Each topic should be relevant to hands-on technical leaders, particularly in enterprise applications. The books should focus on long-lived fundamentals: knowledge that doesn't age much even as technology changes. All these criteria mean the books are worth the investment of a busy reader's time (which is much more valuable than their cover price).
I'm very happy with how the series has worked out - I think there is a an excellent collection of books here. A sign of less personal approval is the fact that the series has collected 7 Jolt awards.

Fuerza Unida
San Antonio, TX
Fuerza Unida was formed in 1990 when one of the Levi's Strauss factories on the South Side of San Antonio closed, leaving over 1,150 workers without jobs and with unjust severance pay. As a result of the plant closure, the women organized themselves to demand fair compensation from Levi's, as well as better working conditions for workers in other factories. Through organizing efforts, Fuerza Unida has become involved in many other social struggles, working on issues of women's empowerment for self-sufficiency, women's and labor rights, immigration, environmental issues and health education.

About Macabre
This long-lived Chicago trio became a cult favorite among death metal fans with their perverse themes that inspire just about as much boyish giggling as they do shock. Though Macabre was one of the first bands to ever experiment with the themes and songwriting that would eventually become widely known as death metal, the group remained primarily an underground band. In the early '90s they garnered considerable acclaim from the death metal community for their Sinister Slaughter album, and in 2000 they sparked interest with a concept album based on Jeffrey Dahmer. Yet for the most part, despite their role as a pioneering band, Macabre never attained the recognition they were perhaps due, most likely because of their often-satirical approach. Forming in 1985, before death metal and grindcore even existed, Macabre -- Nefarious (bass/vocals), Corporate Death (guitar/vocals), and Dennis the Menace (drums) -- quickly developed a following with their extreme heavy metal, which they eventually dubbed "murder metal." The group's first release, Grim Reality, originally came out in 1987 and was followed a year later by Shit List Demo, which contained both studio and live tracks. Then in 1989, the group first began attaining global acclaim with Gloom, an album that had full European distribution thanks to its release on Vinyl Solutions (the album was first released as a split CD with the Grim Reality LP in 1990 and was later remastered, repackaged, and re-released in 1998 by Decomposed Records). The music that had originally appeared on the Shit List Demo record in 1988 was then re-released with a limited edition of only 666 copies by Germany's Gore Records, following the interest sparked by Gloom. Macabre then released the Night Stalker 7" on high-profile U.S. label Relapse and signed to another high-profile death metal label, Nuclear Blast, in 1992, which led to the release of their most-recognized and well-known release to date, Sinister Slaughter (an album basing each of its songs on different psychopaths). Following the acclaim of Sinister Slaughter, the group toured the world for most of 1994 and released the Behind the Wall of Sleep EP in 1995. After a few years of off-and-on activity without any releases where the band experimented with satirical "unplugged" shows, Macabre returned in 1999 with the Unabomber EP on Decomposed Records, which featured alternate versions of tracks from their then-unreleased Dahmer album, along with some out-of-print tracks from the Grim Reality album. Then in 2000, seven years after the success of Sinister Slaughter, Nuclear Blast re-released the classic album with the Behind the Wall of Sleep EP as bonus tracks, and the group finally unveiled their long-awaited Dahmer album, featuring production by respected producer Neil Kernon. Given the album's Grammy-winning producer and the ambitious status as a concept album that almost seems to play like a musical, Dahmer again sparked interest in the band. ~ Jason Birchmeier

Walter Cronkite (1916-2009) was named the "most trusted" public figure in the country by Americans in a 1973 public opinion poll. Affectionately known to viewers as "Uncle Walter," Cronkite was the face of the "CBS Evening News" from 1962 to 1981, covering such stories as the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., civil rights struggles, the Vietnam War, Man's first landing on the Moon, Watergate and the Iranian hostage crisis.

Born in November 4, 1916, in St. Joseph, Missouri, Walter Leland Cronkite Jr. got his training in broadcast journalism at Midwestern radio stations. He was the first play-by-play radio announcer for Oklahoma football, making his debut Sept. 25, 1937. Cronkite described his first broadcast as a disaster, but said the experience taught him a valuable lesson about preparation.
During World War II, he covered the European theater for United Press. After the war, he served as UP's chief correspondent at the Nuremberg trials of Hermann Goering, Rudolf Hess, and other top Nazi officials.

"I did not know Mr. Cronkite personally," President Barack Obama said at the memorial service for the CBS newsman, in New York City, September 9, 2009. "Nor, for that matter, did I know him any better than the tens of millions who turned to him each night in search of the answer to a simple question: 'What happened today?' But like them and like all of you, I have benefited as a citizen from his dogged pursuit of the truth, his passionate defense of objective reporting, and his view that journalism is more than just a profession -- it is a public good vital to our democracy."
"Face the Nation" anchor Bob Schieffer added, "Walter Cronkite was the most curious man I had ever met. He always wanted to know everything about everything, and he wanted to know it before everyone else knew it."

The Denver Post will be at E3 in Los Angeles this week, covering the latest in video games from June 10-13.
Saints Row IV
Platform: Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PC
Release Date: Aug. 13, 2013
Q's thoughts: The Saints Row franchise has come a long way since being a Grand Theft Auto clone (a really, really good one though) back in 2006.
Now in its fourth iteration, the game has jumped the shark and went crazy. The once-leader of the street gang The Saints is now President of the United States, and instead of fighting rival gangs (or another country), player will be combating an alien invasion. Yeah, the series has gone from drive-bys to sci-fi.
I got to play a build of the game this week at E3 in Los Angeles and let's just say these guys have got jokes. The game opens in the White House with you playing President, a former gangsta-turned-politician (is there really a difference?) taking no crap from fellow politicians and having to make tough decisions on whether to cure cancer or stop hunger.
The dialogue is vulgar and crass and, for the most part, pretty funny.

GOP and Broun: Not so peachy
The messy politics of the Republican primary for Georgia's open Senate seat has steamrolled its way into the Capitol.
The unruly race is roiling the state's House delegation and causing problems for the GOP leadership.
Story Continued Below
Rep. Paul Broun — the only announced candidate to replace retiring Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss — is yanking much of the congressional delegation to the right and throwing their votes and the support of leadership into a daily flux.
The problem: There are four House Republicans interested in the Senate seat. But the Peach State delegation and GOP leaders say they have no idea what Broun is up to at any given time, causing agitation for the other three congressmen — Reps. Phil Gingrey, Jack Kingston and Tom Price.
It's not that Broun is doing anything differently than he normally would, but now, it's causing a ripple effect among his colleagues that wasn't there before.
Broun, laughing with his face flushing deep red, acknowledged that Gingrey and Kingston are looking closely at how he votes.
"Imitation is the best form of flattery," Broun chuckled.
Senate seats don't come up too often, especially in a red state like Georgia, so primaries are contentious. And in this one, all of the candidates are seeking to run to the right of each other. How they vote on important legislation, from their party's budget to the debt ceiling hike and the sequester, is being closely watched and could be used against them in a primary.
One of the first signs of trouble was a vote earlier this month on the continuing resolution to keep the government funded beyond March 27. Broun initially told GOP leaders, including Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), he was leaning toward supporting the bill.
But not only did he ultimately vote against the bill, but he also opposed the procedural motion to bring the bill to the floor — a nearly unheard of move by a member of the majority in House politics because it jeopardizes leadership's control of the floor.
The dominoes then began to fall. Kingston and Gingrey ended up voting against both the procedural motion and the resolution itself. Price voted in favor of the rule and the CR.
Next up was the Supporting Knowledge and Investing in Lifelong Skills Act, a job-training bill promoted by Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and sponsored by North Carolina Rep. Virginia Foxx. Broun told Foxx he would support the legislation, sources said, but then voted against the bill only after all other Georgia Republicans voted for it.
Foxx, a member of GOP leadership, was steamed at Broun.
Asked about the episode, Foxx smiled and said, "You have information, that's all I'm going to say."
Did she receive a satisfactory response for Broun's change of heart? "No," Foxx said. "No satisfactory response. Let's leave it at that. I don't like to talk about conversations I have with members."
Then this week, as Republicans were rallying support for their 2014 budget, Broun took to the liberal New York Times editorial page to slam Rep. Paul Ryan's spending plan, which he said "fails to seriously address runaway government spending, the most pressing problem facing our nation."
The op-ed turned heads in leadership. On Wednesday, GOP leaders gave Broun a sheet of paper indicating that if he votes against the Ryan budget, he should also vote against the conservative Republican Study Committee budget, because it borrows nearly as much money.

Trends And Technologies Will Change The Face Of Hot Rodding In 2010 And Beyond.
Fads come and go. Other blips in the culture of hot rodding have lasting impact. This story is loaded with both of those as seen in the actions, words, and products of many hero builders and manufacturers. HOT ROD is in the unique position of knowing those guys and therefore getting hooked in to a number of facets of the marketplace. We are always considering what the next big thing may be, or even the cool little things, and we take note of what's hot. When we report on those trends, as we have done here, some readers think we are trying to cram styles and products down their throats. Back off that notion and take this for what it is-an industry overview of what's going on right now. The story is an implement of entertainment and edification loaded with concepts to accept or reject at your personal whim. HOT ROD is the flagpole, these ideas are the flags, and you get to decide if you're saluting or not. Simple as that.
Hottest Competition Events
In 2010, real enthusiasts are rebelling ever more vehemently against mainstream, national motorsports and are following the types of grassroots action they can at least imagine themselves doing with their own cars or they can vicariously enjoy via Internet critique. Here are some of the hot spots:
Standing-Mile Racing
The biggest growth area is in events where racers discover how fast their cars will go in 1 mile from a standing start. This spin-off of dry lakes racing is often held on old runways, and the progenitor is at Maxton, North Carolina, with the East Coast Timing Association (www.ecta-lsr.com). The Texas Mile has also run for a few years (www.texasmile.net), and in 2009, a new venue in Maine was introduced by the Loring Timing Association (www.lta-lsr.com). The latest news is a race in the California desert at the Mojave Air and Space Port (www.mojavemile.com). And in Sweden, they run a flying kilo on ice (www.landracing.se). Between those dedicated events and the 1-mile shootouts held during some of the popular open-road races, top speed is the word for 2010.
Open-Track Events
Ten years ago, no one with a muscle car ever ran it around a road course. Five years ago, some guys did. Today, there are guys who actually beat on their cars and live the dream of a legion of others who really want to be out there cutting corners. Check with your local road-race track and you'll find a few clubs or companies that host track days where you can go test those big brakes and 18s.
Beater enduros
The 24 Hours of LeMons series has been around for several years and has enjoyed coverage that would seem excessive for an event where $500 beaters race enduro-style on road courses, but people keep eating it up. So much so that the knockoff series ChumpCars is now gaining traction. See www.24hoursoflemons.com and www.chumpcar.com.

Smog-Legal GM E-Rod Crate Engines
The biggest news at SEMA '09 was the introduction of the GM Performance Parts E-Rod smog-legal crate engines created through a SEMA initiative with the California Air Resources Board. The legal project was managed by the SEMA team of Jim McFarland, Steve McDonald, John Brueggeman, and Russ Deane, while GM engineers handled the certification of four crate engines based on production Gen IV V-8s. Available now is the 430hp 6.2L LS3 and soon to come are a 5.3L LS3 with 327 hp, a 427ci LS7, and the top-dog, supercharged, 550hp LSA engine as used in the '09-and-up Cadillac CTS-V. GMPP also has installation parts such as oil pans, accessory drives, and even transmissions.
The impetus for this program was California's January 1, 2011, deadline for amnesty being granted to builders of specially constructed vehicles (SCVs) who have laundered car titles and values to evade emissions or taxes. SCVs are homebuillt cars not based on OE bodies and frames, such as kit cars, fiberglass rods, and repop steel-bodied muscle cars. Cars like those have frequently been registered under bogus pretenses. SEMA's negotiations and GMPP's demonstration of low-emitting engine packages that can be practically retrofitted allowed CARB to legally accept the E-Rod powerplants in SCVs, simplifying inspections and registration.
As a bonus, E-Rod engines are also legal in any pre-OBDII car, meaning '95 and older in most cases, which opens up possibilities for hot rodding '70s, '80s, and '90s cars that may have never before been practical for hop-ups because of emissions considerations.
The E-Rod engines do not have the familiar E.O. number for smog exemption but are rather considered a complete emissions package; an E-Rod engine has its own set of criteria for inspection as would any given year, make, and model of car. The engines come with all the plug-and-go electronic controls as well as with catalytic converters and a package of evaporative emissions components that must be installed on the car's gas tank.
Hot rodding in the face of increasingly radical emissions legislation will be tough, and insiders tell us the restrictions desired by some politicians are so bad they sound alarmist to describe, but they are real. Options like the E-Rod could be the future of hot rodding. – David Freiburger
The ADRL
The American Drag Racing League is the greatest American auto racing success story of the last 50 years. Once nearly on the brink of death, the series has rocketed in recent years to become, pound for pound, the most popular and exciting drag racing series in America. It is all door-slammer (aside from the wild motorcycles), all eighth-mile, and all on the ragged edge. The series has kept the mechanical limitations to an absolute minimum while maintaining strong safety standards. The top two categories, Pro Nitrous and the totally insane Pro Extreme, are home to the quickest door-slammer drag cars on the planet. The current record in Pro Extreme sits at 3.666/207 mph and is owned by Jason Scruggs who, in this realm of racing, is a colossus.
The series started life running at small southern tracks and now has a unique situation where spectators pay a parking fee and walk into the race for free. They blow out every venue they visit, and these are some of the largest dragstrips in the country. Most of the tracks they now visit claim that the ADRL crowds are the largest in their history. Learn more by visiting www.adrl.us. – Brian Lohnes
Multiplex Wiring
New electrical tech like Isis' multiplexing system permits easy wiring of (formerly) complex electrical accessories in old-school rods while reducing the need for daisy-chaining a bunch of switches and relays-all while saving weight big time. And bulky luxury add-ons like air conditioning have been downsized to fit unobtrusively and cleanly behind the dash. See "Multiplexing for Hot Rods" in the Jan. '10 HRM. – Marlan Davis
The '10 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet
Having established the baseline for what a badass factory drag race machine needed to be, Ford is really bringing the thunder with the '10 version of its Mustang Cobra Jet. Production will still be limited to 50 units (all of which are already sold), and it will still be packing a blown 5.4L engine, but this one will be topped with a Whipple 4.0L blower. Ford rates it at a hilarious 425 hp, and picking the correct options gets that rating bumped to 475 hp, which is even funnier, as the car, according to insiders who are set to receive one, will run in the mid-8s. The quickest lap for an '08 Cobra Jet (at this writing) was a 9.28-at-141-mph lap laid down by Carl Tasca of the famous Tasca Ford dealership in Rhode Island. They were the people who created the package at their dealership that Ford used when constructing the '68 Cobra Jets.
There's a lot to be frustrated and miffed at with respect to the domestic auto manufacturers, but this car is a shining example of what happens when the people with a genuine love of cars, not counting beans, are allowed to ply their trade without red tape and restrictions. This car is going to be a monster in NHRA Stock and Super Stock competition for years to come. – Brian Lohnes
Nostalgia Funny Cars
The nostalgia Funny Car uprising started to gather steam about 10 years ago and is now a burgeoning industry. There are people making their livings repopping old bodies. The thought of that back in the early 2000s was unfathomable. With the IHRA's recent announcement that it will be including Pro-stalgia Funny Cars at most or all of its races, these cars are no longer relegated to running only at nostalgia events. Everyone wants a piece of the action. With teams really getting a handle on how to successfully run the cars, laps in the 5.80s at more than 250 mph are happening. The cars throw flames, actually have some semblance of a factory car identity, are sporting cool names, and aside from the modern chassis, look the part of their predecessors.
While California initially had a hammerlock on these babies, that's no longer the case as all corners of the country have been infected with the madness-there are even stout cars in the wilds of Maine. There are match races from coast to coast, some regional series, and the NHRA's Heritage Series provides a great format for teams that want to run on a national level. Aerodynamics be damned, these cars rule. – Brian Lohnes
Variable Valve Timing
For several years, the OEs have employed variable valve timing that allows computer-controlled, situational-dependent adjustments to cam timing. Pushrod engines have had simple advance-and-retard capabilities, but DOHC engines, as described in the story "Return of the 5.0L" in this issue, have the ability to adjust the intake and exhaust cams independently, allowing dynamic adjustment of both the effective lobe-separation angle and of intake and exhaust events independently of one another. It's amazingly effective at broadening the power curves.
The aftermarket is beginning to embrace the VVT engines and their capabilities, as seen in the story "The Next Phase" in the Aug. '09 HRM. Also see "What's New in Cams" in this issue. -David Freiburger
Drag Radials
It is a phenomenon that started in the late '90s with BFGoodrich's introduction of the G-Force T/A drag radial, and its popularity has taken off from there. A radial-construction drag tire that is DOT-legal is the perfect blend of street and strip. It doesn't matter if you need a big or small drag radial or dedicated strip- or street-type tires-there are companies that offer just about anything. We have seen massive drag radials that measure 30×12 inches, and guys go 6.80s on 'em. Dave Hance is the current world record holder on Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials with a 6.83 at 220 mph. Virtually every street-legal sanctioning body-like NMCA and NMRA-offers a Drag Radial class, from no-rules Outlaw style to limited power-adder categories and even some naturally aspirated eliminators. They are some of the most popular classes. On the street, manufacturers such as Nitto, BFG, Hoosier, Mickey Thompson, Toyo Tires, M&H, and now Goodyear offer a variety of sizes from popular 15-inch fitments to several sizes in the 20-inch range. -Michael Galimi
Self-Tuning EFI
Electronic fuel injection (EFI) enhances driveability, improves fuel economy, and broadens the power and torque curves. But first-generation EFIs' myriad sensors, octopus-like wiring harnesses, and complex tuning procedures requiring a laptop PC have put off many traditionalists, keeping carbs in play. Now attractively priced, new-gen throttle-body injection (TBI) with self-learning ability greatly simplifies EFI. The throttle bodies have integral injectors and bolt in place of a Holley four-barrel carb. The user answers basic questions about his engine on a handheld programmer (no PC required), the brain computes a startup curve, the engine is fired, and the auto-learn kicks in. The more miles driven, the more it learns, and the better the curve gets.
New-gen TBI players include FAST's EZ-EFI (see HOT ROD, Dec. '09) and Retrotek. The latter's Powerjection III even looks like a standard Holley four-barrel on the outside; it also offers Nostalgia EFI TBI with up to eight Stromberg 97-style throttle bodies. Spark is still set traditionally, however.
The next evolution is Holley's Avenger EFI. Available in TBI or true multiport fuel-injection versions, it's still fully controllable without a PC. Besides fuel-side self-learning, Avengers can control OE GM and Ford computer distributors via several predefined spark curves (the curves can't be manipulated, though).
Full fuel and spark control under all conditions usually require a PC. After downloading base fuel and spark maps from the manufacturer's website to get you going, new systems can now auto-tune the fuel curve, eliminating hours of calibration. The newest full-control, self-learning system is Holley's midlevel HP EFI and its top-line Dominator EFI (both work with TBI or multiport EFI). The Dominator can run electronic automatic transmissions, too. Other self-learning multiport EFI systems include Retrotek's Stage III EMS and Mass-Flo's EFI. Mass-Flo uses a factory-preprogrammed base map plus a mass airflow meter that theoretically offers greater adaptability than speed density-based systems. -Marlan Davis
Positive-Displacement Superchargers For Late-Model EFI Engines
The horsepower wars in Detroit have led some manufacturers to supercharged special-edition vehicles. We instantly think of the factory-blown Ford SVT Lightning ('99 to '04) and Cobra ('03 to '04) models as bringing positive-displacement superchargers to the modern muscle car wars. Those models helped spawn the current hot trend of Roots and twin-screw superchargers that are going on everything from LS engines to modern Hemis and Ford's family of modular motors. The twin-screw blowers from Lysholm, Whipple, Saleen, Ford Racing, and Kenne Bell are battling it out on the street and strip with the Eaton Roots-style superchargers from the likes of Edelbrock, Magnuson, Roush, Harrop, Ford Racing, and others. Twin-screw technology has led to 1,000hp capabilities thanks to ever-growing systems using displacements ranging from 1.1L to the popular 2.3L and even going as massive as 4.0L.
Two years ago, Eaton revamped its Roots supercharger guts with the Twisted Vortices System (TVS) and with it came better efficiency, more boost, and massive power gains to rival the twin-screw. Today, we have counted nearly half a dozen companies making supercharger applications utilizing the TVS rotor design. Look under the hood of the '09 Corvette ZR1 and Caddy CTS-V to find that the OEs have turned to this technology to satisfy its customers' power lust. – Michael Galimi
From land speed racing to the drag racing digs, adding a turbocharger (or two, three, or four) has never been as popular. Credit the strong 5.0 Mustang drag racing movement for the explosion in popularity. Thanks to the supporting staff of EFI and torque converter technology, adding a turbo to your car has become a (mostly) casual addition. In drag racing applications, we have seen engines produce up to 3,500 hp and watched wild antics from Mike Moran and Tim Lynch break nearly every barrier on the quarter-mile. Larry Larson even showed that the docile nature of a turbo engine allows his '66 Nova to cruise the streets trouble-free and click off 6-second runs at more than 200 mph in Hot Rod Drag Week(tm) trim. A single giant turbo is one of the main ingredients in Drag Week(tm) veteran Jon Huber's '79 Mustang as he pushes the car into the 8s while knocking off 24 mpg with a four-cylinder. Technology truly is wonderful. These exhaust-driven boost makers complement any engine size and make ridiculous power when the wick is turned up. There are some companies that specialize in bolt-on kits, but many applications require fabrication-it's worth the time and effort. – Michael Galimi
Pro Touring On The Track
The original Pro Touring cars, back in the mid- to late '90s, were built to do everything well. They looked like muscle cars but accelerated like drag racers, cornered like new Corvettes, and stopped like you threw out an anchor. But then as the trend became more popular, the cars got super nice-so nice in fact that we had a sneaking suspicion that they would never be driven hard enough to take advantage of the trick hardware used in their construction. Thankfully, that is changing as guys are throwing away the show ropes and driving their stuff hard on the road course at the many open-track events and competitions that have sprung up. RideTech has really pushed conducting autocrosses at events such as Goodguys shows, but the biggest deal yet is the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational. At the '09 Invitational (see last month's Roddin' At Random for coverage), we watched high-dollar, SEMA display cars sliding through the dirt, burning through tires and brake pads, and generally being driven with extreme prejudice. It was glorious and really raised the bar for what a modern muscle car is all about. – Rob Kinnan
Wired Wheels
The hot trend in wheels today, especially on high-end cars, is wire. Maybe it's because billet has been done nearly to death. Even with CNC one-offs that can cost $40,000 a set (really!), there are only so many ways to carve a billet wheel-after a while they all look the same. If we could identify an early adopter of the current craze for fine-spoked, Dayton-style wires, it might be Dan Webb's track roadster, but now we are beginning to see them everywhere, including on Troy Trepanier's off-the-hook '56 Chrysler 300B (July '09 issue).
"It's a judgment call, like everything else," Troy says. According to Troy, wire wheels allow far more artistic expression than you might think. "It's wide open. You can make the rim one color or type of metal finish, the spokes another, and the basket another. We're working on a '32 pickup right now with wires where we went wild with it. Wait till you see it. It'll blow your socks off." – Bill McGuire
Brown is the New Black
There is a basic hot rodding precept that says the paint must be as loud as the pipes. Nothing screams, "Look at meeee" like Chrome Yellow or Candy Apple Red. The rodder's color palette, while bold, was surprisingly limited. The operative term here is was, because recently the color choices have been opening up. Builders are exploring new and different tones, including…brown, of all things. Until now, you wouldn't think rodders even considered brown a color. But here it is, used to great effect in top cars like Chip Foose's 'Cuda and Bill Steele's Model A coupe, the '09 Goodguys Hot Rod of the Year (shown here).
Bill selected brown for the Model A because for his car, it's real. It's a color that belongs to a car of that era, so it can't help but look right. "Before the '30s, most cars were black. The Model T came in one color and that was it," says Bill, a professional painter who knows his paint history. "When Duco came in as the first fast-drying lacquer, more colors became available, but they were all muted, solid colors, no metallics. Dark blue or green, browns. Earth tones. Brown has always been there. " – Bill McGuire

diuretic effect, eliminating excess salt and water from
the body.
Spironolactone is sometimes used
when bloating, water retention, and weight gain are the main symptoms of
Spironolactone can reduce
premenstrual bloating, breast tenderness, and weight gain.1
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug
Reference is not available in all systems.)
Ask your doctor if you should watch the amount of potassium in your diet. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic, so your doctor may want to make sure you do not get high potassium levels in your blood. Do not take a potassium supplement if you are taking this medicine.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

About Phillip Vector
"Microsoft has decided to try to attack Apple by copying where Apple is strongest -- in its walled garden. And, in the process, the company may end up setting off some antitrust alarm bells."
Wouldn't they then be able to turn around and say, "Apple does it as well" and sue Apple on what they just got sued for?
Believing in something that isn't proven that it can happen I thought was the pureview of religion.
I have yet to hear about a terrorist taking down a plane with a cell phone.
The issue that allow of users have of that site is that they also know the situation with SOPA. Shutting it down would be like preaching to the choir and probably not be noticed by those in power.
Since we are talking about theaters, have to give a shout out to one that ruined me for other theaters. Seriously.
If you are in the Portland, Oregon area, you OWE it to yourself to go. Other theaters will pale in comparison. They know how to fill seats. :)
and no. I don't work there and have no ties to them (except it's the only place I watch movies away from home).
I would even go one further.. If he had safety flags... He's probably trained in the use of them.
Perhaps because they DO hire people? I know in Portland, Oregon, the Netflix center hires quite a few people. Much more then a local video store does.
I was wondering this myself. I have all my ToS's clicked on by my 8 year old. They are free to try to prove that it was me who installed whatever. :)
You misunderstand..
He isn't saying brick like "It's not going to work at all".
He's saying brick as in "All I use it for is netflix and online stuff." Basically, useless now for whatever purpose he had it for.
Hence, Bricked.
Someone from Reddit said, "Watch Microsoft give a major discount to people who buy an xbox and trade in their sony PS3.
Heck, donate them to childs play and get even more good PR.
Actually, I offered Reddit $50 Amazon Gift card for anyone producing any proof that this was said by a Valve employee. No one was able to do it.
So no. It's a common rumor, but unfounded.
If they are marketing said used car as new, yes.
Thanks for the explanation. :)
I personally like seeing that I submitted stories. I enjoy seeing that number go up. It matters to me to see the number go up as a feel a sense of pride (since I'm not a paying insider, I feel I contribute to the site in comments and scoops).
However, I'm not going to bitch and complain if I don't get it. If someone else scooped the story before me (I posted it up within 20 mins. of the post going up), I'm not going to get upset by it. I would've liked it, but it went to someone else. I'm cool with that.
What I'm not cool with is saying, "Lots of people sent me this" and no one in that group get the "Scoop Cred". :)
Make more sense now?
Who was the first one to report this? I've been trying to get "Scooping rights" for awhile now. It's seen as a badge of pride for me. If I didn't get it, no worries. But saying "lots of people" still doesn't give credit to the first one (and linked to his/her account). So who was the first?
Interesting.. Today I learned that there IS a right to air travel.
49 U.S.C. � 40103 : US Code - Section 40103: Sovereignty and use of airspace
(2) A citizen of the United States has a public right of transit through the navigable airspace.
Steam had a "Family" category for games. Allot of good choices there..
But for my Son, his "Gateway" game was Minecraft (and he still plays it) as well as Terraina. Both excellent games that are exciting and imangination filled, but no real serious violence (and both can do multiplayer and are cheap).
I have a son. 8 years old. Due to various factors, he's got allot of anger issues.
When he is at his mothers house, he doesn't play "violent video games". But he gets into fights with other kids more then usual.
When he is over my house, I let him play Team Fortress 2 (with the blood off, balloons turned on, etc). We play as a team against the bots and password protect the server so that no one outside of me or him (or whoever I invite on) can join us and be rude.
He is calm, relaxed and not at all the stressed ball I get to see when it's my turn to be with him.
Now, GTA4 of course is out. I have let him play GTA3 (with the voices turned off and under strict supervision), but only to drive fire trucks and put out fires, save people in ambulances and to catch criminals in cop cars (cheat codes to remove the stars for stealing it of course).
So there ya go. A reason why they are good. Now, I won't say not having them would damage his development, but it is helping.

I'm starting this thread to track this and prompt for opinions, analysis and result interpretation.
It's tempting to call this "The Next Bailout Package"- a chunk is for bailing out troubled states. However, do NOT equate this with the TARP bailout.
It's easy for me to give an off-the-cuff opinion, but I'll refrain for now to try and give it a fair thinking and post later. Actually, I do see some potential for the entrepenuer here...if it's managed right...?

4. Double-checking of various types of documents
Registered property may be subject to a mortgage, which means that you can purcahse the desired property, on credit through a bank or financial institution.
Property can be registered only if the all the documentation is absolutely correct (eg. facility has a building permit and use permit). For the specific real estate in the cadastral office, it can be verified exactly who is the owner of a given property, whether real estate has encumbrances (mortgages), and basic data about real estate (land surface area, etc).
Unregistered properties do not depreciate in value, because the legislator has stipulated that there is no difference between registered and unregistered real estate. The ownership of all properties (registered and unregistered) is proven by verified contract of sale in court or other legal order. However, sellers whose property is registered, gain in price, as funding for such property has more potential buyers (cash buyers and/or mortgagors). Therefore, we are advising all sellers to register their property whenever possible.
In order to register a specific real estate (house, apartment, local) the following elements are required:
- verified contract of sale
- construction permit
- A copy of the basic design
Sales tax (tax on transfer of absolute rights) in real estate accounted for 2.5% of the estimated value of the property by authorised body - of the tax department of the municipality where the property is located.
The legal obligation to pay this tax burden falls on the Seller, but is a perennial common practice that the same buyer pays the tax on behalf of the Seller - to give guarantee to the Buyer that the tax will be paid.

I have been reading dozens of posts on this forum in the last few days, trying to grasp what and how to use my recently acquired EA1, then decided tonight to merely power it on, and fiddle around with it, as has been suggested. I have been on that beast for what seems like only a few minutes, which grew to well over two hours! And, merely holding it lap style with headphones to monitor. I think that once I apply compression and EQ to each part's output, I will likely have usable sounds comparable to my six modular VCO's. Although it's been fun to experiment texturing and tweaking the factory sounds, I am still at a loss as to how to create and save patterns and/or patches.
Evidently unlike most of you- at least from most of the posts I've read, I am using hardware, and only software to upload to the internet. And, yes, that means that I have a stack of EQ's and compressors*- all left over from my days of recording lectures. It may seem silly to some that there are those of us who still use a lot of hardware, but to each his or her own?
*(Not a literal stack, mind you, several racks and custom made cabinets)

Lenders refinanced 42% more Federal Housing Administration mortgages in July than the month before under a new streamlined program, according to government data.
Roughly 25,750 streamlined refinances closed under the program in July, up from 18,100 in June as lenders worked through a backlog of applicants.
In June, the FHA announced a streamlined refi program to pay reduced rates on upfront and annual insurance premiums. Principal and interest can be cut. Appraisals, income, employment and credit score requirements are waived. The program launched June 11 for borrowers with loans endorsed before June 1, 2009.
Applications tripled in June from May but have since begun to cool.
Roughly 97,000 FHA borrowers applied for a refinance in July, down from 102,000 applications the month before.
The FHA overall endorsed nearly 111,000 mortgages in July, up 21% from one year ago. Roughly two thirds of the new loans were for purchase mortgages and the rest for refinances and reverse home loans. Roughly 78% of all home-purchase FHA mortgages in July went to first-time homebuyers.
Meanwhile, the amount of problem loans still insured by the FHA remained elevated. The government reported 725,645 FHA-backed loans in serious delinquency during July, up 21% from one year ago.
The serious delinquency rate however remained unchanged from June at 9.5%.
