A Day of Promociones: Promoting Kiva's Product in the Field
23 October 2012 at 08:00 roselarsen
Rose Larsen | KF19 | Colombia
It is fair to say that every Kiva Fellow is excited about "going out into the field." Meeting the local entrepreneurs who are using microfinance to grow their tiny businesses is the primary reason many of us gave up jobs, apartments, and lives in our home countries to volunteer our time abroad for 4 months.
What we are looking for is a personal connection, the ability to put a face to the erudite name of microfinance. We are dying to hear firsthand how, through Kiva, someone has been given new opportunities, and has used these to improve their life. A more extreme version, perhaps, of that desire for connection that drives so many people to lend through Kiva each day.
After months of hearing moving stories about meetings between Kiva Fellows and Kiva borrowers, I was surprised to hear that the majority of my first day out in the field here in Colombia would be devoted to something called "promociones."
As you may be able to guess, "promociones" means "advertising" or "sales." Instead of getting to meet a borrower whose Kiva loan has changed their life, I would be basically participating in door-to-door sales.
My host, Kiva partner Fundación Mario Santo Domingo, is a highly structured organization with more than 50 years of experience working in development in Barranquilla, and 28 years of experience working in the microfinance sector. They employ about 20 loan officers in their Barranquilla office (and more in the Cartagena and Bogota branches), each of whom are assigned a particular neighborhood or nearby town. About once a week, a team of 4 loan officers will go to one region of the city to do promociones.
A huge part of the loan officer's job, it turns out, is sales. Mario, one of the loan officers I followed around, told me that while they have specially scheduled times that they do promociones, loan officers for FMSD are essentially always selling their product. Indeed, later that day, as I followed José, another loan officer, around a colorful neighborhood in Barranquilla, we visited not only current FMSD borrowers but also their neighbors; people with similar businesses who he thought might also be interested in a loan.
– – –
So how exactly does FMSD go about promoting their loan products?
We started out by splitting up into teams and walking around the neighborhood, stopping by every business to talk to them about FMSD's loans. These businesses varied wildly – some were well-established spots like internet cafes; others seemed more ephemeral – juice stands by the side of the road, a tiny stationary store run out of a living room.
The responses to the loan officer's pitch varied too. Some people barely looked at him when he spoke, clearly uninterested in receiving a loan. Others seemed more curious, asking questions about interest rates and requirements. A few businesses were already borrowing from other banks, though at higher interest rates than those offered by FMSD.
After about an hour of walking around, we had gotten two people to fill out forms to begin the process of applying for a loan, but a few more seemed vaguely interested, and I knew the loan officer would follow up with them in a few days to see if they had thought it over some more.
Next, it was time for a break – inside of FMSD's nifty mobile office:
Doesn't look so impressive? This truck has Transformer-like powers, morphing into a mobile office that fights not Decepticons but poverty!
There we sat, parked on a main street in the working class neighborhood of Magdalena, waiting for curious local business owners to wander up. FMSD knows that not all borrowers can make it in to the center of the city to visit the FMSD offices, so they've figured out a way to bring the office out to the borrowers.
Fun fact: the mobile office doubles as a traveling loudspeaker, driving through the neighborhoods blasting motivational phrases like "Permítenos apoyarte" ("let us support you") and urging listeners to call FMSD or visit the office to take out a loan.
While I knew that I would have plenty of chances to meet current, rather than prospective, borrowers, I realized that I had never even thought about how one of Kiva's partners actually finds people to give loans to. Somehow, the idea that there are so many people out there lacking access to financial services negated in my mind the necessity of sales.
As I followed Mario, José and the others around the neighborhood, and saw the eagerness with which people filled out the forms for a loan, I realized that promociones was an essential part of FMSD's microfinance model, not only for ensuring the foundation's own survival, but also to continue fighting for their mission, to improve the quality of life of ALL Colombians.
Microfinance is all about leveling the playing field – providing financial access, something we in the developed world often take for granted, to those who previously never had the opportunity to borrow money or use a credit card.
So it makes sense that an MFI would spend time and resources making sure that its product really is available to everyone who might want it, whether they are a well-established business with multiple employees or a roadside stand set up by those desperate to provide for their families in whatever way they can.
Hopefully in a few months, I will be able to see some familiar faces from that day of promociones up on Kiva, asking for help on their very first loan with Fundacion Mario Santo Domingo.
Rose Larsen is a member of the 19th class of Kiva Fellows, serving in Barranquilla, Colombia with Fundación Mario Santo Domingo. Become a member of FMSD's lending team, lend to one of their borrowers today, or apply to be a Fellow!

2 hikers from Maine walk down Colorado peak
2 hikers from Maine walk down Colorado peak
A pair of hikers made it down one of Colorado's highest peaks on their own Friday after being stranded by an ice storm for two days, the National Park Service said.
The Park Service had been trying to organize its latest effort to rescue the Maine women from 14,200-foot Longs Peak after bad weather defeated a helicopter rescue, said Patrick O'Driscoll, a Park Service spokesman. He said rangers in an all-terrain vehicle later traveled through floodwaters to shuttle them to safety.
"They are in fine condition. They were not injured," said Mark Pita, a ranger inside Rocky Mountain National Park.
The same storm system that blasted Colorado with rain caused the ice storm at higher elevations that pinned down Connie Yang, 32, and Suzanne Turell, 33. They were hunkered down inside a tent in whiteout conditions about 800 feet below the summit.
"The mountain was socked in, no visibility, 12 inches of rain, flash flooding all over the place," O'Driscoll said.
Employers and family members said the two set out a week ago on a backpacking trip in Rocky Mountain National Park, with summer gear including a flyweight tent.
Before their phone battery died, the women used text messages to inform a sister of Yang's in New York City of their situation.
"We need help," Turell said in one of her last texts around 9 a.m. Thursday. "No injuries. Iced over. Risk of hypothermia. On south ridge."
They provided coordinates of their location off a trail.
An earlier text message read: "Can't move because of ice storm, don't know how long it will last. Been here for 1 day trying to wait it out."
The women, from York, Maine, work for New Hampshire-based outdoor gear manufacturer NEMO Equipment Inc. Turell is the company's director of product design. Yang is director of engineering.
"I knew they're smart and tough and had technical skills," David Turell, a brother of Suzanne Turell, said from his home in Durham, N.H. "The question was whether their gear was going to keep them dry and warm enough, for long enough."
Park rangers said they were taking the hikers from a trailhead in the Wild Basin area of Rocky Mountain National Park to Grand Lake, Colo. — the only way out of the park Friday.
Three roads on the park's east side remained impassable Friday because of mud slides, said Rick Frost, a spokesman for the Park Service's Intermountain Region in Denver.

SGI gives Microsoft the squeeze
Joins the crowd
SGI's rebirth won't be a Linux-only affair. The hardware maker today revealed plans to ship Microsoft's fancy cluster operating system with its servers.
Where the old SGI focused on selling high-end systems running its own Irix flavor of Unix and then later Linux, the new SGI will focus on selling just about anything to anyone who will buy it. The Windows Computer Cluster Server 2003 embrace backs that strategy with SGI moving well downstream in the high performance computing market. It expects true business customers – not just labs or specialty shops - to grab Microsoft's relatively new OS on Xeon-based Altix XE servers.
"The OEM agreement supports SGI's growth strategy in the enterprise, specifically targeting media data management; industrial design such as automotive and aerospace; healthcare; and government and academic markets where customers are often faced with mixed workflow infrastructures," SGI said.
The so-called "new SGI" recently emerged from bankruptcy after convincing its backers that it can turn a profit by pushing deeper into the corporate data center market. Such a run is necessary after sales to SGI's core high-end graphics customers started to dry up, with many firms opting to buy cheaper guy from rivals rather than forking out big bucks on SGI's pricey Linux on Itanium gear.
SGI, however, enters a very crowded field where the likes of IBM, HP, Dell and Sun Microsystems have more diverse and complete product lines.
On the Windows Computer Cluster Server front, SGI will need to catch up to HP and Dell – the most vocal backers of Microsoft's specialized OS. Luckily for SGI, Microsoft only managed to get a polished version of the "2003" OS shipped last year. That said, Microsoft already claims a number of large clusters running the software, which is meant to make basic server cluster functions easier to manage.
Linux is by far the dominant OS in the high performance computing market.
SGI plans to start shipping systems with the cluster OS in March at a starting price of $3,500. ®

Like Brooke mentioned, we're mommies! And with mommyhood comes a life full of love … and sandwiches. While little W is only just beginning to snack on the brown-bag lunchtime staple, I find it's the meal of choice for me most weekend days when I'm running after a crawling toddler and navigating the rest of my life.
A little PB&J on the go sounds okay, but it's not nearly the same on gluten free bread. Many gluten free brands are sorely lacking in the sandwich department. Some are too crumbly. Some require toasting before they're sandwich worthy. Others taste delish, but are sized all wrong. Here are my thoughts on three brands that are taking up room in my freezer for different reasons.
Udi's: When Udi's made its debut at my local Giant, I jumped with joy … literally, looking like a fool in the freezer section. But now I find it leaves a little to be desired. The texture is there. The flavor is good. It tastes just fine defrosted and not toasted. But I need to eat 12 Udi's sandwiches before my lunch is complete. They're sized more like Melba Toast than Wonder Bread. I keep it on hand for the perfect breakfast sandwich, grilled in the bacon grease and all. It also makes for a bit-sized grilled cheese. Get it for a little more than $5/loaf at Giant and Whole Foods. Available at the Lee Highway Giant and the Clarendon Whole Foods.
Whole Foods Prairie Bread: Moving on to the slightly pricier freezer section down the road, Whole Foods Gluten Free Bakehouse is a huge step up from Udi's, literally. In comparison, each slice is HUGE. The loaves are sized to rival traditional sandwich loaves and come in a variety of flavors, including prairie bread complete with seeds and nuts and traditional white sandwich bread. Personally, I prefer the prairie bread for French toast in the mornings and a tuna salad sandwich on the go. And while the entire freezer section will lighten your wallet, you can get a loaf of Gluten Free Bakehouse bread for less than $5 at Whole Foods exclusively. Available at Clarendon and Foggy Bottom Whole Foods Market.
Rudi's: Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Not to be confused with Udi's, Rudi's is my go-to sandwich bread of the moment. It's perfect. Perfectly sized. Perfectly chewy. Perfectly flavorful. Rudi's is a standard bread, and the whole grain option adds a nutrition boost. Now that it's available at Costco, it's perfectly priced, too. You can walk out the door with two loaves for $7. What's more, they're linked up with my favorite nonprofit advocating for healthier school food, The Lunch Box. Available at the Pentagon City Costco.
No sandwich in our house will be complete without Rudi's in my house until the next best thing finds its way to the local grocer.

I enjoyed Blazing saddles aswell Ubiq, I myself am doing fine at the moment, just observing the last couple of days left of Ramadan at the moment.
Some of my favourite films would be 2001 space odyssey, Network, 7 samurai, Ikiru, (a couple of other Ozu/Kurosawa fims), Robocop, Goodfellas, City of God, 12 Angry Men, Blade Runner, Raider of the lost arc, El Topo, Vergito and Psycho just to name a few series.
Regarding animation? I like three most popular series that has aired lately (Gravity falls, SU, Over the garden wall and Rick and Morty) but for nostalgia sake? Exosquad, Batman animated series and Gargoyles.
TV series?here's the thread that I have made
Heya Ubiq, how are you doing and how is your health?
Curious to know what are your favourite films?
The thread has been submitted for review.
I just noticed the topic thankx :)
Hey Ubiq, i just thought of character tournament its been a while since we have one, any plan this year ? Thanks
sorry. my PM's are full. Robby might be interested in that thing you mentioned earlier, but he's passed out for the night and I'm not with him atm. I'll message him for the morning, but I imagine, someone else has already talked to you.
I can't say for sure if that was the correct price for that combo , but I do know that it was something between 30 R$ ~ 40 R$. One day I could go there and check the price for you. ;)
"kinda joking".
Merry Christmas and happy festivities !!
No poll like the last time round, or are you waiting until it's close to a certain milestone (like the debates?)
No problem ! I hope you had a awesome birthday.

Fine Vintage runs luxury food and wine tours to Bordeaux, Champagne-Burgundy, Napa, Tuscany, and Spain. We are the only company offering wine tours designed and hosted by Masters of Wine, of which there are only 370 in the world.
When you take a tour with us you'll get access to wineries that are not normally open to the public. You'll have lunches and dinners with owners and winemakers at their wineries, and taste fine and rare wines that often cost hundreds of dollars per bottle. Simply put, you'll see and experience things that others don't.
The reason for having access to these people and places is because of our buying activities for airlines, hotels, retailers, our schools, and our Fine Vintage Wine Club. Our relationships with the winemakers and vineyard owners will provide you unparalleled access that goes well beyond other wine tours. Our tours are carefully crafted to be 1st class at every step. We stay in excellent hotels, enjoy wine tastings in the region's top wineries, and eat in the best restaurants. And it's all in a fun and relaxed atmosphere!
The tours are popular with all types of wine lovers. There are always wine professionals and wine students, but the majority of people are wine lovers who simply want to experience the great estates and taste some stunning wines. There's no need to be intimidated. It's our goal to make sure everyone is comfortable and enjoys the trip. Most of all, we always have a really fun group and there's no shortage of laughs.
We run our tours in partnership with various local travel agencies and collaborate with the leading expert in the area as Host. James Lawther MW, the famous writer for Decanter magazine, covers France and Spain. Philip Goodband MW (previous Chairman of the Institute of Masters of Wine) will show you around the magical wineries of Tuscany. James Cluer leads certain tours as well.
The tours typically last about 5 days, you taste more than 50 classic wines, and eat like a King. It's luxurious, and our guests say it is excellent value for money for what they experience.
We take a maximum of 20 people. It's small enough to be intimate, yet there are enough people to make it diverse and fun. So have a look at our itineraries but don't delay in booking a trip. They've been known to sell out very fast and many people are repeat guests. There are several testimonials below. Feel free to email me at email@example.com with any questions you may have.
James Cluer, MW
I am delighted to recommend Fine Vintage Wine Tours. From start to finish, our 2012 Bordeaux trip was nothing short of excellent. James Cluer and James Lawther were entertaining and knowledgeable hosts making sure that all of the tour participants were well looked after. First class service, first class accommodations, first class dining, and most importantly, unparalleled access to some of the finest wines on the planet. Bravo!
- Bill Holder, Vancouver, BC
Just a note to say how much Jacqui & myself enjoyed our recent trip to Bordeaux. James Lawther was a terrific Host, very knowledgeable, well organised & he looked after us very well. We certainly thought we received great value for money & we both look forward to doing the Burgundy & Italian Tours at a future time.
- David Leckie, Sydney, Australia
A special thank you to the Fine Vintage team for putting together such an unforgettable experience in Bordeaux! To give this trip a 10/10 would be a massive understatement as every aspect of the tour far exceeded my expectations. I was especially impressed with our host James Lawther as he has a wealth of knowledge of the Bordeaux region, which made the tour both entertaining and educational. My bucket list includes visiting every premium wine region of the world and I intend to do it with the Fine Vintage team – first class all the way!
- Kimberly Jurgilas, Toronto, ON
I have known James Cluer for several years now and knew that any wine tour that he would organize would be first rate. This was confirmed when I went on the Bordeaux wine tour in May 2012. James Cluer and James Lawther were our guides and with two such knowledgeable leaders I knew we would be in good hands. The accommodation at Chateau Smith Haut Lafite was excellent and each of the chateaux we visited gave us a warm and professional welcome. Everything worked smoothly and it was such a pleasure to be driven everywhere so we didn't have to be concerned about that. Even though we tasted many different wines I never felt I had overindulged... with such good wines and the relaxed but responsible attitude of everyone on the tour it was never an issue. I particularly liked the other people on the tour – there was a good mix from many different countries and with only 20 of us we had the opportunity to get to know people, chat and laugh! As a result of this good experience, we have booked to go on two more tours with Fine Vintage.

First class all the way! What a perfect way to get behind the scenes in this prestigious wine region. James was a knowledgeable and friendly host who gave us just the right amount of information. The wineries were a very good mix of small and large producers; and the group was small enough to ask questions in a relaxed setting. The food! Every bite at every meal a delight. Wines were paired very well with each dish. The hotel was a beautiful place to come back to each day. The rooms were comfortable and had spectacular views of the vineyards out of every window. We stayed a few extra days to enjoy the grounds and the spa. If you want a pampering vacation in one of the most historic wine regions of France, I highly recommend the Bordeaux trip.
- Valerie Brockbank, Wilsonville, OR
My family and I were on the Bordeaux trip in May of 2012. It was easily the most memorable guided tour I've ever been on. It felt like a saunter through fairy-tale land, as the chateaux were everything that one could dream of and more. Aside from the surreal environment and the tasting of some epic wines that one rarely has access to, the food and lodging were world class, and the team at Fine Vintage were constantly keeping things relaxing, interactive, and educational. The guides were attuned to everyone's comfort level with wine, and the pace of the tours was perfect. The trip was incredibly cohesive, and by the end of it there was a special, almost unspoken bond created by all the tour members. Fine Vintage has set the precedent for wine tourism and I look forward to exploring the world of wine with them again in the future, wherever it may be.
- Jon Smolensky, Vancouver, BC
I believe it was in September of 2007 when I went to Bordeaux with Fine Vintage. It was the trip of a lifetime. The place we stayed at was superb. Every Chateau made us welcome. I especially liked that each Chateau gave insight into a different aspect of wine making. At one they spoke of the experiences of hiring seasonal workers for the vendage, at another the importance of aspect, yet another gave insight into biodynamic techniques. We visited coopers and learned about barrels. We chatted with wine makers, chateau owners, vineyard managers, personnel managers and négociants. It was all so smooth and seamless that I did not even realize how much I learned at the time, but even today as I speak with anyone about wine I find myself referring to what I learned on that trip. The wines we tasted were nothing short of superb. The food we ate was absolutely gorgeous to the eye, to the nose and to the palate. Every meal was in an exquisite setting. The company was delightful. I am seriously considering taking this particular trip again as there was so much to learn. I would encourage anyone who is interested in learning more about wine to take this trip, keep a daily journal of their experiences and have your tasting journals at the ready. Many of these wines are seriously among the best in the world.
- Adrienne Johnston
The Fine Vintage May, 2013 tour of Bordeaux surpassed by expectations. James Lawther was a fantastic trip guide, ensuring all went smoothly, spending time to get to know each of us, and providing insightful and educational knowledge of the Bordeaux area. The experiences at each Chateaux allowed us enough time to understand their technique and history and the wines and meals were among the best I've experienced. It's hard to pick one best moment of the trip because each day was filled with tastes of delicious wine, beautifully presented meals, and access to wine makers who took the time to explain their craft. I highly recommend this trip!
- Cathleen Woodward, Boston MA
In my 70's, my daughter and I discovered WSET wine courses through Master of Wine, James Cluer. James is a consummate teacher and encourager, drawing students into confidence, teaching with with and wisdom. I feel privileged to have had my WSET experience with him. At 75 years of age, I completed the advanced program and wanted more! The more turned into a trip to Bordeaux, in September of 2010, with a wonderful group of fellow students. The Bordeaux experience was much more than I expected! It consolidated my learning in an experiential setting that demystified the complexity and wonder of Bordeaux. Now, at 78, my daughter and I have signed up for the Australian Wine Tour, in January of 2014. I can hardly wait!
- Lance Woods, Vancouver BC
My first encounter with Fine Vintage was at a WSET course. I had the good fortune to have James Cluer as my teacher. I was more than impressed by James knowledge and talent in teaching. I also loved his good sense of humour and energy. Further to this I decided to check out Fine Vintages tours and couldn't resist trying one of them out. I chose the Napa Valley tour. I have taken many culinary classes in Italy and locally here in Vancouver, have been on 5-star all inclusive culinary tours in the past and was totally wowed by the quality and professionalism of the Napa Valley tour offered by Fine Vintage. The tour was unique, intimate, and luxurious all the way, and surpassed all expectations. The tour was well organized and every detail thought of. I can't say enough about the culinary and amazing wines we experienced. As a side note, I usually travel with my husband but had decided to do this one solo as a wine tour was more up my alley. I was a bit apprehensive but went for it. It ended up being perfect. I met a number of other solo travellers and had one of the best vacations I've ever had. To this day, a few years later, I am still friends with one special lady I met on the tour and we share our love for wine over many dinners with our partners. Napa Valley will not be the last tour I take with Fine Vintages and I have no hesitation to recommend it to all of my very "fussy" friends!
- Lyne Lafortune,
I have done two trips with Fine Vintage Ltd.; both were life changing for me in the best possible sense…with the possible exception of my waistline!
As someone newly emerging from a good bruising in the family law department, I was delighted and thrilled to find camaraderie and a shared sense of adventure. I had a very positive room sharing experience, despite my tendency to value my privacy.
Really exceptional wines, food, company and incomparable settings - this is the norm with Fine Vintage Ltd. Where else will you be invited to private dinners at top chateaux, with a welcome that not only includes superlative champagne or rare barrel samples, but probably your country flag waving proudly from the turrets!
If you are on the fence about taking one of these trips, just know that to choose not to, could become your greatest regret. A trip like this is an experience not to be missed. It's the VIP treatment you've always wondered about, but with intelligence and without the fuss and bother of paparazzi!
Do it! Don't wait!
- Marion Austin-Cook
My wife Karen and I were on the Tuscany tour in May of this year. The experience was all we could have asked for. James and Filippo were excellent guides, combining very extensive knowledge of the region with plenty of humor and fun. Several times they were able to add a personal touch to the tour, whether it was bringing us to Filippo's village to enjoy food, music, and dance with his family and friends, or the visit from Sergio the world champion gelato maker. The tour had a good balance of scheduled events and free time. The accommodations were excellent, very comfortable and clean. The wineries we toured were top quality and it was a treat to visit some locations which we would not be able to see if we were on our own. Lastly I must comment on the rest of the tour group. We were very pleased with the other members of the tour, who all seemed to enjoy each other's company. It was certainly not a bus full of wine snobs. The group had lots of knowledge, but never let it get in the way of having a few laughs. We look forward to the next trip we can take with Fine Vintage!
- Rob Langill
When I first met James and he told me he did wine tours, I thought it might be fun to go with someone who is as knowledgeable as he is. Then I signed up for Spain… and he redefined "fun" for me… we tasted, we nosed, we swirled, we danced, we sang, and we ATE… and along the way, somewhere between the fabulous hotels and the awe inspiring vineyards and the heady aromas in the cellars, we became compadres of the grape, students of the moment, and lovers of those things that happen when it's a carefree time in our lives. Take a tour with James…you will never be the same...

Personalised Cherished Number Plates
Since their humble beginning in 1903, cherished numbers have continued to increase in popularity often adding the finishing touch to our prized possessions and very often prove to be a valuable investment.
The First Number Plate Ever Issued
A1 assigned in 1903
The Motor Car Act 1903, which came into force on 1 January 1904, required all motor vehicles to be entered on an official vehicle register, and to carry number plates. The Act was passed in order that vehicles could be easily traced in the event of an accident or contravention of the law. Vehicle registration number plates in the UK are rectangular or square in shape, with the exact permitted dimensions of the plate and its lettering set down in law.
You can find out where your personalised registration number plate was originally issued here.
A Kiwi with an obsession for the Devil's number is selling his satanic number plate. The price? $66,666 obviously.
But it doesn't stop there.
Wellington's David Blackmore has been amassing things sporting the numbers "666" for 30 years, is now selling the whole collection.
A phone number, website name and a PO Box number, all featuring the number of the beast, are also up for grabs.
The satanic number plate is sure to raise eyebrows
"I've even looked under the cupboard the stairs, he wasn't under there either," Blackmore quipped.
The multimillionaire property developer is leaving New Zealand for good, in favour of Australia's sunny Gold Coast.
"I'm going to spend the rest of my life sitting back and enjoying it rather than participating in the rat-race any longer – I'll leave that to the rats."
Blackmore says number plates are a waste of space if they don't mean something to someone.
"Numbers are just numbers, in China, triple six is actually a very lucky number, second only to 888 of course."
He said it all started when he couldn't get his favourite race number in a car race he was entering.
"Believe it or not, my favourite number is 13. I was borne on the 13th, and turned 13 years old on Friday the 13th."
"They said 13 was taken 'but that's an unlucky number, the next unlucky number we have is 666', so I took it – and that's how Team Satan racing came to be."
And from there, collecting assets bearing the satanic brand became something of a sport.
He got the number plate 66666 in 1988, when personalised plates first came out, and is now asking $66,000 for it.
That year he brought 1000 personalised number plates for under $300 each – and has been selling them off ever since.
The highest price fetched for a plate was $75,000 for "WW".
He got the phone number 021 666 666 about 20 years ago, off a woman who wanted $10,000 for it: "So naturally I paid $6666for it."
He got the website domain name 666.co.nz about 10 years ago, for less than $100 per year for the registration.
A friend gave him the 666 Auckland postal box address, to complement his collection, about 10 years ago.
"I've also got the original New Zealand number plate 666, from back when number plates were just numerals, this was before the time when number plates had letters on them."
"You can't use it – it's just a bit of tin now, but I'll never part with that. I paid him $666 for it."
And to complete the collection, his email is email@example.com.
Blackmore hopes to get $66,666 for the combo but is open to selling them separately.
The self-professed collector of weird and wonderful things first started in number plates, then moved on to antiques, boats and even taxidermy.
He also has green a purple Lamborghini with the number plate JOKER and the Rolls-Royce had the number plate BROKE on it.
Blackmore admits the inauspicious number did bring him bad luck once, when the Bentley turbo he was racing in the late 90s crashed – causing more than $40,000 damage.
"But it was all about having a bit of fun, were weren't trying to win," he said.
"We were the forerunners of drifting in New Zealand.
"Our objective was to go around as many corners as possible, sideways and in a cloud of smoke."
Needless to say, Blackmore hasn't raced the Bentley since.
666 has become one of the most widely recognised symbols for the Devil in modern popular culture.
It is called the "number of the beast" in the Bible's New Testament, Book of Revelation.
Some people take the Satanic associations of 666 so seriously that they actively avoid things related to 666. This is known as hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.
Aside from religious meanings, the number is also interesting mathematically.
666 is the sum of squares of the first seven prime numbers.
It's also the sum of the first 36 numbers, i.e. 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 34 + 35 + 36 = 666.
And therefore it is the sum of all the numbers on a roulette wheel – 0 through 36.
By 1932, the available numbers within this scheme were running out, and an extended scheme was introduced. This scheme consisted of three letters and up to three digits, taken from the series AAA 1 to YYY 999. The letters I, Q, and Z were never used, as they were considered too easy to mistake for other letters or numbers or were reserved for special use, such as the use of I and Z for Irish registrations and Q for temporary imports. (After independence, the Republic of Ireland continued to use this scheme until 1986, and Northern Ireland still uses it.)
T'S happened again – and set a record: Someone paid $745,000 for the numerical NSW plate '29', eclipsing the previous auction record of $689,000 paid for NSW '2' back in 2003.
It also set an Australian auction record for a double-digit number plate, topping the $530,000 paid for the Victorian plate '21' at Shannons Melbourne Winter Auction last July.
Other strong number plate sales were $82,000 paid for NSW '9191' and $35,000 for NSW '85758', taking total sales on the night for the six heritage plates on offer to $956,000.
Classic motorcycles were also hot property, topped by $37,000 paid for an 'as new' 1975 Norton Commando Mk3 850cc with just 29km delivery on its odometer, and a 1950s Austin J40 pedal car sold for $9300.
Other impressive results from the auction included a restored 1964 Porsche 356C Coupe which went for $137,000, a restored 1949 48-215 'FX' Holden which commanded $46,000, a 1962 MGA 1600 sports car fetched $52,000 and a stately and exceptionally low mileage Mercedes-Benz 300B 'Adenauer' limousine first owned by the Victa lawnmower family sold for $50,000.
As well, a superbly-restored 1970 Ford XY Falcon GT sedan sold for $180,000.
Other News:
A shortage of vehicle number plates has hit the Kenyan market, causing a backlog in the clearance of cars at Mombasa port.
The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) attributed the shortage that started two weeks ago to increased registration of cars that has outpaced supply of number plates.
"Demand is far much higher than supply. There are just too many vehicles being imported into the country, especially second-hand cars," NTSA director of registration and licensing.
She added that the supply issue will ease after Kamiti Maximum Security Prison, where the number plates are manually made, increases supply.
The law mandates the prisons department to make the plates.
Official data shows that Kenyans bought 15,858 used vehicles in the first quarter of the year, compared to 14,346 units in a similar period of last year, representing a 10.5 per cent growth.
It is mandatory for imported second hand vehicles to be fitted with number plates before leaving the port.
The country imports about 6,000 second hand cars monthly, according to dealers.
Dealers said that the shortage had hit them hard as they were forced to incur storage charges at the port amid cash flow hiccups due to delays as some had taken loans.
"We are incurring heavy storage charges as the cars are detained at the port despite having paid duty and customs clearance cash in advance," said Charles Munyori, the secretary-general of Kenya Auto Bazaar Association, a lobby for second hand car dealers.
The storage charges are based on the volume of vehicles and the number of days they take at the Mombasa port or at container freight stations.
Industry insiders, however, said the number plate problem normally occurs every time a new registration number comes up as importers delay registration to take advantage of the newest numbers.
It should be noted that the date denoted by a registration plate is the date a vehicle was first imported into the United Kingdom and registered with that registration system. For instance a vehicle manufactured in say 1991 and registered in Northern Ireland might have been given a 1993 registration letter when it was registered on the Swansea system. This also applies to vehicles imported from other countries. This is apparent by examining the registration document which will show a date of manufacture different from the date of first registration. The date of manufacture is notional, though, as vehicles may be manufactured and stored unused, for many years in some cases, and then registered as new when first registered into the system. This allows manufacturers to sell cars as new allowing for shipping, storing at dockyards etc.

This is written for the grill, but you can easily make these in a lightly greased pan over medium-high to high heat (turn on the fan and disarm the smoke detector!) or 2 inches away from a pre...
Kitchen Notes: Yay for the Large Sauté!
Griddle, make-shift wok, fryer, high-volume egg poacher, sauce pan, braising pan, roasting pan, blunt-trauma weapon, shield against small-caliber munitions… regardless of what is thrown at you in the kitchen—whether its breakfast for 10 or an assailant's roundhouse kick—the large sauté is ready to serve. In a pinch, you can toast and grind spices and dried chili peppers with it, pound out cutlets, use it as a water reservoir for keeping an oven moist, the list goes on. Indispensible in the oven, on the stove, or even over a fire, a good 5-6 quart sauté with straight sides and full, triply construction is the single most versatile, long-lived, and relied-upon tool in our kitchen, with the possible exception of an accurate digital thermometer and a nice, sharp chef's knife… and a sturdy pair of tongs… a wide metal spoon… a microplane… or maybe a nice chisel-edge spatula…
Okay, we have many "favorite" tools (which we will be sharing over the coming months), but at least among the dizzying array of pots and pans available to consumers, we feel very strongly that a 5-6 quart "sticky" stainless steel sauté pan should be the first item on anybody's equipment wish list. I cannot count the number of delicious meals my Father has cooked solely with the use of thisremarkably versatile style of pan. I am now the proud owner of this very same pan, and the endearing signs of wear after over four decades of use has not diminished its usefulness or performance in the slightest. I use this pan every day.
I wish this was unnecessary, but I feel like I need to justify my advice to get a "sticky" pan for those who like non-stick. To my mind, there are only a few tasks in the kitchen that really benefit from a non-stick pan. The biggest item on this list: egg cookery. Frying and scrambling eggs is so much easier with a non-stick skillet and to this day I wonder how people got along without them (answer: large gobs of butter or oil). Extremely well-seasoned cast iron will do the trick, but eggs tend to wreak havoc on the pan's hard-earned layer of seasoning. If you use one for eggs often, you will need to season it often, and until I get a truly well-ventilated kitchen that can disperse the smell of seasoning cast iron, I will use a cheap non-stick frying pan (no more than $20) with a wood/plastic spatula because spending more on a pan that will eventually wear out is downright silly. I can't emphasize this enough: just because they charge a lot for a non-stick pan does not mean it will last longer. It might have better heat distribution, but egg-frying does not sufficiently benefit from this. Spend accordingly. Some of the newer ceramic coatings scare me less (teflon flakes are apparently not a healthy seasoning) and seem to be more tolerant of high heat (teflon, unlike the new ceramic materials, starts smoking with curious vapors at medium-high heat and above). But again, the coating will not last forever, regardless of what manufacturers claim (luckily you can find them in the sub-$20 price range now).
Okay, my non-stick tirade is over until the next appropriate equipment blog post. Back to the tool at hand: the amazing large sauté. Though many manufacturers like to describe their larger sauté pans as "family-size," we have found them to be perfect for low-yield cooking and invaluable for entertaining the occasional handful of dinner (or brunch) guests. I suppose this is why high-end manufacturers will try to charge you a month's salary for them. Luckily, after testing several pans in different price ranges—from a family-heirloom All-Clad to a no-name Chinese knock-off sold by a local kitchen store—over the last year and a half of testing recipes for JOY, I can honestly say that the cheapest of them (clocking in at $45) easily matched ninety percent of the performance we observed from the highest-quality stainless tri-ply money can buy ($250).
Disclaimer: a few manufacturers have taken the men's razor approach to product development and begun to offer $300-$350 five-ply and seven-ply sauté pans, which claim to be up to 20% better at evenly conducting heat. I remain unconvinced by the steep cost-benefit calculation involved in justifying such a purchase, but would wager that the extra layers of aluminum and stainless probably add little more than a slight advantage over lesser pans. I suppose the prestige might be worth it for you, but at almost twice the price of an already over-priced product, I suggest you pass. Ditto with copper.
A few things to look for: if the side of the pan has a seam or gap of any sort toward the bottom, the aluminum core—which distributes heat more efficiently than the stainless steel exterior—does not go up the sides of the pan, which creates a "hot spot" ring along the outside. This can scorch pan juices and lead to uneven cooking of sauces… Not a complete deal-breaker. If you find an awesome deal on one that does not look like it's been spot-welded, this might be the way to go (the pan will last much longer if the handles are actually bolted on). Always get one with metal handles, as half of the joy of owning the pan is that it is completely oven-safe, thus ready for pan-roasting and long braises. Just keep in mind when weighing your investment that, unlike non-stick pans and other, less sturdy cookware, a stainless sauté pan will last you forever and change. Just to repeat, the pan I use everyday has seen four decades (and counting) of constant use in four states and at least five different kitchens by two people who are not the best at maintaining or babying their tools.
Okay, it lasts a long time. What makes this pan so much better than a large frying pan/skillet? What's wrong with the smaller 3-quart sauté that manufacturers are always including in the cookware sets they sell?
You can fit a whole chicken in one: There are many reasons why the larger size is best, but perhaps the most compelling to me is being able to brown and then braise or roast large cuts of meat without getting two pans dirty: try pan-roasting a whole butterflied chicken or braising a decently-sized chunk of brisket in a 3-quart sauté… better yet, don't. A butterflied game hen might fit comfortably in one, but anything bigger will start to get cramped. Same thing goes for fried chicken: why have a pan that will crowd a chicken's-worth of pieces? Think of it this way: have you ever heard anyone complain about a pan being too big? I thought not. Too heavy, I've heard, which brings us to why you should purchase a sauté that has a second, "helper" handle.
The second handle is half of the reason why sautés have a substantial advantage over large frying pans, some of which are at least partially up to the task of dealing with whole chickens and brisket-size cuts. The frying pan's sloped sides and lack of a "helper" handle make them cumbersome, even dangerous, to take in and out of the oven without pan-juice mishaps (or, god forbid, a full-on meat fumble). Plus, sloped sides—a true asset in an omelet pan—actually decrease the amount of usable space, both in terms of liquid volume capacity and surface area for browning, sautéing, and shallow-frying. For those who like to toss their stir-fries in the air just so, I feel for you, but the straight sides are not completely prohibitive… you just have to adjust your technique.
Presto! Your own flat top: A large sauté pan's straight sides and large radius offer the maximum amount of cooking surface you can reasonably expect to get from one large burner. Though the aluminum core really helps spread the heat around, ingredients do brown quicker toward the center of even the priciest pans (this problem is hopefully mitigated by the 5- and 7-ply construction of new, top-tier pans). This means you will probably need to trade outside pieces with ones toward the center when turning them. Caveat aside, when you purchase a sauté pan you are also buying a convenient alternative to a flat-top griddle. Short-order fare—bacon, sausage patties and links, burgers, corn fritters, hot dogs, and steaks—can be done in quantity as long as you have a warm oven to hold everything in until you are done. Where's the grease trap? By sacrificing a tiny bit of the cooking surface and slightly tilting the pan (I rest mine on a pair of all-metal tongs), you can even reproduce the way many griddles slowly draw rendered fat away from food (this of course only works if you are not using a fancy induction range). Just carefully ladle the drippings into a coffee mug with every other batch and you're golden.
Another pan-tilting tip: next time you want to stir-fry, pan-fry, or sauté something in oil with garlic or ginger, you can avoid the sharply bitter burnt bits with an extra 5-10 minutes' effort. Over-browning garlic and ginger will often impart off-flavors to everything that enters the pan. You can always add fresh, minced garlic toward the end of the cooking, but if you want to add a deeper layer of these flavors—or just don't want to add raw garlic toward the end—try infusing the oil before frying. Tilt the pan, add large smashed (or half-slivered) chunks of ginger or garlic, and infuse the cooking oil with them over moderate heat until they start to color (around 10 minutes), reserve, go about your frying, chop them up, and add toward the end of the cooking process or as a garnish. Bonus tip: If you aren't determined to add them back in, remember that thinly sliced and lightly-fried garlic cloves are a flavorful substitute for salad croutons.
So, the large sauté potentially duplicates a number of pans. Sure, some of them can match or better its performance in any one task: skinny, taller pans are better at conserving oil for deep frying; some sauce pans are better at maintaining temperature during reductions (but the sauté will reduce sauces faster!); dutch ovens are better at stewing (and, depending on the shape of what you're cooking, braising); cheap non-stick skillets have their place, as do woks, roasting pans, egg poachers, and stock pots. But for whatever reason, I have reached for my sauté pan to dispatch most of the jobs these other pans are designed to perform at one time or another, and been rewarded with good, dependable results. A true desert-island pan.
Summer traveling tip: If you are driving to a vacation destination where you know you will have access to a kitchen (which you should always assume is stocked with abused non-stick pans and no sharp knives), shove this pan in your trunk, pack a good chef's knife (plus sharpener) and a thermometer. You will be thankful!
I read every word of this
I read every word of this post! I have been saving up my Williams and Sonoma gift cards for some time now - with the intent of getting a great pan - Your timing is great!
Omg the best I have read in
Omg the best I have read in years on pans. I had a wonderful farber-ware set for years and then traded up (?) and have longed for the fry pan of that set. This article describes everything I want from ( my old one if I could have it back) a pan.
I have been perusing ads wondering if I was imagining my old pan as being better than it was. Your article renews my confidence in my memories and gives me hope that I will find the right pan. Any tips on first few uses of a new pan?
What a great article! I've
What a great article! I've been shopping for a sauté pan and I'm wondering why I would need one with a lid?
A lovely article. Was the
A lovely article. Was the inherited pan Ethan's?
I just gave a 13-inch frying pan, with matching lid, to my husband for Christmas. It was a frankly self-interested gift. Also, he likes to cook on high heat and was going to kill our parakeets with Teflon fumes. (It's true!)
Please comment on straight-sided pans versus slant-sided pans. We got the latter, and I'd like an excuse to get another pan.
Yes! The pan was Ethan's. In
Yes! The pan was Ethan's. In fact, we've inherited quite a lot of nice pans from him.
I totally agree about the teflon pans over high heat--it's a bad idea. Those pans aren't made to withstand high heat over time, and the coating breaks down faster. Also, those pans tend to be cheaper and are "disposable." The stainless steel pans are much more expensive, but they last forever. Also, with the stainless pans, you can move them from the stovetop to the oven, so you can braise or pan roast in them without having to switch pans during the process.
The advantage to having a straight-sided pan is that there's less of a spillage issue. I find that with slant-sided pans, I spill liquids easier (which may be due to my own clumsy self, but there you have it). Also, one of the main reasons for getting a pan with slanted sides is to be able to toss things with the pan--you've probably seen television chefs tossing ingredients in the pan rather than using a spoon to stir things with. We also like the higher sides because you can make larger quantities without worrying about sloshing.
I think you have every excuse to get another pan. Of course, a good cook can make do with just about anything, but having high-quality equipment makes it easier (and frankly more fun) to cook exceptional food.
I loved the article.
I loved the article. Especially the bit about the seam in the bottom of some pans. I bought a pan on sale, and wasn't aware that the seam meant the aluminum didn't go up the sides. It was a huge pan, but it still burns on the side. So I shall have to get another.
For the most part I use cast iron, even though they are heavy. They are the best non-stick pans I've ever had.
For those who find that stainless is sticky, I can say I still cook scrambled eggs in stainless and they never stick. I heat the pan first, then add some clarified butter, then add the eggs right away. I still use a non-stick for crepes though.
Good ideas on your website - thanks!

In the 1980s, I had a 7-quart saute pan from Calphalon's original commercial line. It worked on a commercial stovetop, but it was too big for home use. I would use it on two burners. I gave it away after 20+ years of not particularly enjoying cooking on it.
I now have the 4-quart All-Clad saute pan and their 6-quart stockpot (Dutch oven shape), and they're just right. It's just me, now.

HOWTO: Print an entire website January 10, 2012
If you need to print out an entire website, here is a little trick. You'll need the full version of Acrobat though. I did this using Acrobat X Pro, but I believe this works all the way back to Acrobat 8.x.
Go to File | Create | "PDF from Web Page…". In the window that pops up, type in the url of the site you wish to traverse. The trick here is to click the odd little button on the left, "Capture Multiple Level". The window will expand to expose a few more options. Select the "Get entire site" option and click the Create button. There is a warning that you will create gargantuan files that will grind your computer to a halt, but ignore it. I converted an entire 20-page site and the resulting PDF was under 900k.
Now you can open the PDF, email it, or print like any other document.

|Sweet potato biscuits made with mashed, seasoned sweet potato.
Sweet Potato BiscuitsI'm a lover of sweet potatoes in pretty much any form you can make them - baked, fried, glazed, roasted, grilled, mashed, cut up into soups, in casseroles, in a pie or quick bread, and yes, even in a classic biscuit!
Although sweet potatoes are at peak during the latter part of the year, they are now readily available to us year round, and since a reader asked for my recipe, I decided to make a batch to publish. These biscuits are great to serve with slices of country ham or other baked ham, or to serve stuffed with leftover slices the next day. They really do make a great addition to just about any meal, or to just simply enjoy on their own, any time of the year.
They're especially good served with a little honey butter or a syrup infused butter too!
Here's how I make them.
Recipe: Sweet Potato Biscuits©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 20 min | Yield: 16 to 18 biscuits
- 2 cups of all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon each of one or more of the following: cinnamon, allspice, ground cloves and/or ginger, or to taste
- 1 cup of cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter, softened at room temperature, plus more for the pans
- 2/3 cup of milk
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Butter 2 (8-inch) cake pans; set aside. Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and spices. Mix the mashed sweet potatoes with the stick of butter and milk until blended; taste and adjust seasonings for spices and sweetness. Add in the flour mixture a little at a time, working in until fully incorporated. Dough will be sticky.
Turn dough out onto a well floured surface and knead, folding the dough in on itself and turning several times, until smooth, sprinkling in additional flour as needed. Pat dough to 1/2 inch thick and use a cutter about 2 inches in size to cut out biscuits. Arrange in cake pans and bake at 425 degrees F for about 20 minutes, or until light golden brown. Serve hot with plenty of butter and sorghum, cane or maple syrup.
Cook's Notes: Leftover sweet potato casserole is perfect for these, however, reduce sugar as needed and omit the spices if using seasoned sweet potatoes. These are especially good served with a little whipped honey butter with cinnamon, or for a nice syrup butter, blend 2 to 3 tablespoons of syrup (sorghum, cane or maple) with a stick of room temperature butter.

Magic Slim: Public Notification - Undeclared Drug Ingredient
Audience: Consumer
[Posted 01/22/2014]
ISSUE: FDA is advising consumers not to purchase or use Magic Slim, a product promoted and sold for weight loss and sold on various websites and in some retail stores. FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Magic Slim contains sibutramine. Sibutramine is a controlled substance that was removed from the market in October 2010 for safety reasons. The product poses a threat to consumers because sibutramine is known to substantially increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some patients and may present a significant risk for patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, or stroke. These products may also interact, in life-threatening ways, with other medications a consumer may be taking.
Laboratory analysis also confirmed that Magic Slim contains phenolphthalein. Phenolphthalein was an ingredient in some over-the-counter (OTC) laxative products until 1999, when FDA reclassified the ingredient as "not generally recognized as safe and effective" after studies indicated that it presented a potential cancer-causing (carcinogenic) risk.
BACKGROUND: Magic Slim is a product promoted and sold for weight loss and sold on various websites, including www.slimbeautyusa.com, and in some retail stores. See the FDA Public Notificiation for additional information, including a product photo.
RECOMMENDATION: Consumers should stop using this product immediately and throw it away. Consumers who have experienced any negative side effects should consult a health care professional as soon as possible.
Healthcare professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of these products to the FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program:
- Complete and submit the report Online: www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/index.cfm
- Download form or call 1-800-332-1088 to request a reporting form, then complete and return to the address on the pre-addressed form, or submit by fax to 1-800-FDA-0178

On assuming the presidency Obama promised to "focus like a laser" on unemployment.
Instead, and ever since, his laser has been focused only on his re-election. The minimal attention he has paid to jobs has been to increase government employment and use stimulus funds to prevent public sector lay-offs. Any action of his affecting private sector employment has been either unsuccessful, as in Solyndra's loan guarantee, or wholly counter-productive to business in general. Existing companies and would-be entrepreneurs refrain from investing because of negative uncertainties: tax increases, costs and mandates of employee healthcare, and the plethora of new regulations coming into effect. The Sword of Obama hangs by a thread over the private sector head. (Apologies to Damocles).
Here are only a few examples of recent federal regulatory over-reach:
1. With local approval an Idaho couple began preparing to build their dream house when EPA people appeared and pronounced the lot a wetland, demanding that they restore the land to its original condition, or face fines of $75,000 per day.
2. Federal agents raided an Amish community with guns drawn because unpasteurized milk was being sold. One can't be too be wary of those violent Amish!
3. Only days ago the Labor Dept issued 85 pages of new regulations affecting farmers.
4. Also days ago, the top man in the Texas District of EPA said in a speech that he wanted to "crucify" big oil companies.
5. The well-known "Keystone Kibosh" illustrates what I consider pre-existing regulation: Prevent a project from being built; and it can never operate under any conditions.
6. Recently EPA announced new maximum CO2 levels in emissions from coal-fired power plants that will prevent building any new plants, and require shut-down of some existing ones.
These examples illustrate how hell-bent Obama is to hamstring our private sector, which is responsible for our high standard of living. He wants the federal government, which does a poor job performing governmental functions, put in charge of all kinds of business functions, about which it knows nothing and toward which it is hostile. Imagine Obama creating a couple of new federal departments like Jimmy Carter's Energy Dept (1977) and Education Dept (1979). Haven't both done bang-up jobs in their 35 and 33 years, respectively? Sure they have; our public schools are "tops," and we've been independent of foreign oil for years.
