1965 Chevy El Camino - Unmatched
A '65 El Camino In A League Of Its Own
Say it with me, El Camino. Doesn't it just roll off your tongue? It's hard not to say it with some Latin flavor with images of blasting down a two-lane dirt road along the coast of Mexico. After looking at Travis Reif's jaw-dropping orange '65 Elco however, it may be hard to speak at all. This 10-year project was the brainchild of a man enveloped in custom cars and trucks since birth. Travis tells us, "I've been involved in this sport for a lifetime-I really was born and bred to do this." Spending a decade on and off building one truck shows dedication, but Travis told us why he stuck it out, "I wanted something different from the norm that looked super low and super bad without a body drop." We're still having a hard time speaking after seeing his El Camino in person, but thankfully we can still type-here are the details of this unmatched '65.
After scrapping his first '65 Elco because, as he described, "It got so far out of hand that I got frustrated with it," Travis found this straight example and began the decade-long journey. As the owner of The Custom Shop in Las Vegas, Travis knows what it takes to build a show-winning custom, so he and his crew immediately got to work on the El Camino's foundation. Using 2-inch drop spindles, Hotchkis upper control arms, Ride Tech airbags, QA1 shocks, and Hotchkis tie-rod ends, the front end was dumped in the weeds. Out back, The Custom Shop team used Hotchkis boxed trailing arms, Ride Tech airbags, and QA1 shocks to bring the chromed Chris Alston Fab9 9-inch rearend into the cutout bed pocket. The sheetmetal Fab9 rearend is stuffed with 4.11 gears and 31-spline Strange axles for bulletproof performance.
Used to adding unique wheels to custom rides, Travis actually has three sets of wheels for his classic Chevy-with each one creating a different look and style for the El Camino. For our shoot, he stuck with 20-inch Boss wheels that are wrapped in Nitto Neo-Gen tires, sized 235/30R20. Wilwood big brakes on each corner bring the Bow Tie to a quick halt. With the Elco ready to handle better than a cheetah on the prowl, each part was removed and sent out for chrome plating, and then the frame was filled, sanded smooth, and painted bright orange. Knowing the El Camino's structure was rock-solid, Travis looked to give the Chevy proper motivation.
Contacting All Seasons Marine, in Boulder City, Nevada, a new 350ci V-8 was fitted with aluminum fast burn heads, a GM Performance Parts hot cam, aluminum X-plane intake manifold with a Holley carb atop it, Hedman Hedders, and Flowmaster mufflers. Providing a deep and raucous rumble, Travis added a March serpentine pulley setup, custom plug wire looms, and Fesler billet hood hinges for eye candy. Sending the 450 hp to the Fab9 rearend is a new 700-R4 trans equipped with a 2,200 rpm stall converter. Smoky burnouts were now as easy as blipping the throttle, but Travis had more in mind that just a low-slung, tire roaster.
Rolling the Elco back into The Custom Shop's bay doors, the body underwent a cosmetic makeover worthy of any Hollywood reality show. Forever sacrificed to the welder are the door and tailgate handles, emblems, hood and side trim, mirrors, rain gutters, and fuel door. Arrow-straight and ready for a vibrant hue, Chris Shelton, of Shelton Designs was called in for his steady and even paint strokes. After some time to cure in the Vegas sunshine, the paint dried to reveal the eye-popping House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl topcoat. Sunglasses required.
Inside the Elco's tight confines, the interior plays tricks on your eyes like beer goggles. Open the doors and you see what looks like a cavernous cabin, but in your head you know there shouldn't be that much room in a two-door car/truck. Careful planning and perfect execution of a killer audio system provides the CliffsNotes version, but the truth is in the details. Glide Engineering seats have been cut down and reupholstered in tan leather and suede, the dash has been painted and fitted with Dakota Digital gauges, and Vintage Air A/C keeps the cabin cool during the blistering Vegas summers. On the way to the photo shoot driving in a truck behind the Elco, we heard a thunderous, booming sound and wondered if maybe we had bad weather coming at us, but we quickly realized it was just Travis having some fun with his Rockford Fosgate audio system. With the volume up to 11, two 12-inch Rockford subs pound occupants into submission, and multiple sets of 5 1/4 and 6 1/2-inch components, both in the doors and in the back enclosure, provide the mid and high frequencies. Two Rockford Fosgate amps power all of the mayhem, and installed in the custom center console, an Eclipse AVN 6620 controls the audio input signal. Two Optima batteries, in a hidden bed compartment, are charged by a chromed Powermaster alternator. Other custom interior touches include billet 'bag and window switches in the console, chrome ididit steering column capped with a LeCarra steering wheel, and an Ungo alarm that also serves as the door popper controller.
As we all know, this truck will never officially be "done," but Travis is very pleased with the outcome of his El Camino. Cruising down the highway in Henderson, Nevada, Travis couldn't stop smiling and we can't blame him, after all, in our opinion his '65 Elco is unmatched. Sun setting in the rearview, yellow lines on the pavement blurring by... just another day in paradise.
Travis was quick to thank his talented team at The Custom Shop, his wife Tori and his two sons, Tanner and Tyler, for all of their support and understanding.

People have ascribed all sorts of paranormal abilities to Steve Jobs... but could he have spurred Apple to create a time machine? That's what an anonymous poster at Quora hinted, and the post was picked up by Forbes' Brian Caulfield.
But don't worry, paradox-phobes. It's not a literal time machine. Rather, it's a way of doing business that allows Apple to have access to technology that's years ahead of its time, right now.
"If it feels like new Apple products appear futuristic, it is because Apple really is sending back technology from the future," says the Quora poster.
As the poster explains:
When new component technologies (touchscreens, chips, LED displays) first come out, they are very expensive to produce, and building a factory that can produce them in mass quantities is even more expensive. Oftentimes, the upfront capital expenditure can be so huge and the margins are small enough (and shrink over time as the component is rapidly commoditized) that the companies who would build these factories cannot raise sufficient investment capital to cover the costs.
What Apple does is use its cash hoard to pay for the construction cost (or a significant fraction of it) of the factory in exchange for exclusive rights to the output production of the factory for a set period of time (maybe 6 – 36 months), and then for a discounted rate afterwards.
On the other hand, maybe there actually is a rogue TARDIS somewhere in Cupertino? It would make me way happier about my Genius Bar experiences if I knew all of Apple's money was actually going towards cracking the secrets of the fourth dimension. [Quora via Forbes]

By JEFF PICKELL
It was, indeed, a very barfy Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving, or THANKSgiving as it is pronounced in the south and elsewhere in the midwest, is probably my favorite holiday. I know, you'd never expect the guy who writes 50 percent of his columns about food to favor above all others the holiday where people get together to gorge themselves, but it's true—turkeys have nightmares about me.
This was probably the worst Thanksgiving ever. I've been fighting a stomach bug for about two weeks now. It's nothing major, so long as I stick to what my mom calls bland foods—lightly buttered toast, soup broth, salad, and cups of noodles. Pretty much anything heavier sends me bolting for the bathroom before long.
I spent the three or so days leading up to T-day (turkey day) in training, nibbling on this and that, relying on my plentiful fat stores to stave off collapse. I wanted to be better so I could go after that turkey with a passion, to teach it who's boss with salvoes of mashed potato body slams, dinner roll pile drivers, and green bean casserole haymakers.
But during the two hour drive from Highland to Sturgis, echoes of wooziness still bounced around my belly. I ignored them, and when we arrived at Aunt Julie's, went straight for the hors d'oeuvres, plying my empty food bag with fancy cheese and crackers and cauliflower with vegetable dip, delightedly washing them down with can after can of Diet Coke.
Big mistake. When dinner time came, I got about halfway through my first plate before something down there went awry. I excused myself to quell this uneasy feeling with a few laps around the house (this should be read as "I dashed out the back door to a nearby pile of leaves and emptied my stomach").
My Thanksgiving was effectively over, but Darla the dog's feast was just beginning. As much as she may hate it, Darla is a dog of weak gastro-intestinal fortitude. She may want to eat things like paper, deer turds, and jalapeno poppers, but she just can't keep them down. Add to this list large quantities of turkey grease.
Just as we were leaving, my Uncle Don opened the garage, where the left over grease was stored. Darla swiftly struck at this target of opportunity and was snout-deep in it before Dad found out and shooed her away. It was too late. She was dry-heaving before we made it out of Sturgis.
An hour later, as the sun dipped into the west and the sky took on a tint of purple and orange, she barfed all over Mom. Were anything left in my stomach, the sickening smell of the Darla barf would've led me to follow suit. I hiccuped and swallowed spittle for the remainder of the trip.
The next day, it was back to soups, salads and fruits for me. I exercised with my dad, mom and Darla at the park and felt pretty good afterward, but took it easy and watched reruns of "Third Rock from the Sun" all afternoon and into the night, ignoring my friends' calls for me to leave the basement.
Saturday was much the same. I ran some errands and envyingly munched a Greek salad while my friends Tony and Evan enjoyed kielbasa and macaroni and cheese and fried cod and french fries, respectively.
Sunday was once again soup, salad and napping all day, right until mom woke me up for dinner, after which I crankily remarked "Why don't you turn down the heater? It's burning up in here."
"What are you talking about?" said Dad. "It's cold."
"John, check to see if he has a fever," said Mom.
"I'm fine, I'm fine," I insisted. "What's for dinner?"
"Corned beef casserole," said Mom.
"I'm in," I said.
Shortly afterward, I departed for Morenci, making it precisely three quarters of the way down my road before barfing all over myself, my car interior, and my work clothes. Then I sobbed.
Back home, mom forbid me from leaving the house, even after the laundry was redone. This was a good maneuver, because my night was filled with more barfing, feverish half-sleep and nightmares involving a talking, teleporting washing machine and, wouldn't you know it, turkeys.
Again, it's a good thing my stomach was empty when I set out for Morenci in the morning, because the smell in my car—I'll be eating blandly until I devise a way to get rid of it.
I will, however, live to eat again.- Nov. 30, 2006

At the start of the year in 1524, more than 2,000 people flocked to Allstedt to hear Thomas Müntzer preach in the Church of St. John. Today people from all over the world come here to trace the history of this revolutionary church reformer.
It was in Allstedt that Müntzer first conducted an entire church service in German rather than Latin. Believers travelled from far and wide to hear him preach, although Luther distanced himself from Müntzer because he was attacking secular powers as well. Müntzer delivered his sermon to the princes at Allstedt Castle & Palace in 1524 – marking the spiritual beginning of the Peasants' War.
Today there are exhibitions at Allstedt Castle & Palace illustrating Müntzer's influence. The Church of St. John, where he preached, can also be visited.
Allstedt is surrounded by the Kyffhäuser massif and the southern Harz region, making it an ideal base for excursions to Barbarossa's Cave and the European Rosarium in Sangerhausen. As well as the restored castle, the late-Gothic town hall with its baroque meeting chamber is worth a visit. Allstedt lies on the Romanesque Route.

Minnesota Sixth District Rep. Michele Bachmann has been under fire lately for her letters to the Inspectors General raising concerns about the possible involvement of the Muslim Brotherhood in activities of the United States government. Our small local chapter of the Republican Jewish Coalition convened a get-together last night to rally around Michele. As chapter chairman Mark Miller figures, this was Rep. Bachmann's fifth appearance before our chapter. No one else comes close.
We had a strong turnout last night and, while under fire, Michele was on fire. I recorded most of her remarks in three-minute video segments that occasionally break off as she is finishing a thought, as in her opening below. I apologize for the unfortunate breaks, but she is worth listening to and hearing out even in this imperfect vdeo form.
She opened her remarks with observations on the Obama administration's inability to locate the capital of Israel.
Michele continued with comments on the ascendancy of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Arab Spring.
Toward the end of her remarks, Michele discussed the State Department's decision to provide a visa to Hani Nour Eldin, a member of an Egyptian designated terrorist group, not only to enter the country in violation of the federal laws prohibiting material support for terrorism, but to be granted a meeting inside the White House with National Security Council officials. He used the opportunity of his White House visit to call for the release of the the Blind Sheikh, currently serving a life sentence for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
My videos with the rest of her remarks last night are posted in seven more installments on our Power Line YouTube channel here. Please check them out.
To a significant extent Obama administration foreign policy undermines our friends and ingratiates our enemies. At the Minnesota chapter of the Republican Jewish Coalition, we seek to stand by our friends, of whom Michele is first and foremost. To contribute to her campaign, go here.

Hi folks. The weekend before last I shot some pretty footage in my office and turned it into a music video. It's set to a beautiful, minimal/ambient track by John Chantler and you can watch it below. Once you're done watching it, scroll down to read an explanation of what the footage is of.
Kalorama by Dan Winckler on Vimeo.
I shot and edited this video as exercise. I was spurred to do it, to do it expeditiously, and to finish it when someone tweeted about the Cult of Done Manifesto, which I hadn't read in a while. All in all, it was very satisfying and I hope people like it.
Mysteries revealed
The two first guesses about the nature of the footage that I received (from Benton-C Bainbridge and Chris Jordan) were pretty much dead-on. It's sunlight reflecting off a plastic (mylar?) book cover, which I crinkled and tugged at slightly while recording. Benton guessed it right first so he gets the cookies. If I'm getting my optics right, these kinds of reflections are known as caustics, and I have always found them very, very beautiful. All of the effects were done in post and I tried to keep them subtle. I'm pleased that I succeeded to some measure since CJ guessed that the chromatic aberrations were done with a polarizer.

SYDNEY (AP) Australia's John Senden shot a 6-under 66 on Thursday in calm morning conditions at The Lakes to take a two-stroke lead in the Australian Open.
Englishman Justin Rose was second along with Australians Kim Felton, Brendan Jones and Richard Green and New Zealand's Gareth Paddison.
Adam Scott opened with a 72. After practicing with a traditional putter during the week, the Australian used his usual broom-handle model that he anchors to his chest - a technique expected to be banned in 2016.
Tom Watson, playing his first start in the event since winning in 1984, had a 78 in windy afternoon conditions, and 14-year-old Chinese amateur Guan Tianling opened with an 82.
CHON BURI, Thailand (AP) - South Africa's Charl Schwartzel shot a 7-under 65 to take a one-stroke lead after the first round of the Thailand Golf Championship.
Winless since the 2011 Masters, Schwartzel had seven birdies in a bogey-free round at Amata Spring.
Thailand's Thitiphun Chuayprakong was second. Masters champion Bubba Watson opened with a 68, and defending champion Lee Westwood had a 70.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - China's Shanshan Feng opened a four-stroke lead in the Dubai Ladies Masters, shooting a 7-under 65 in the second round.
Feng, the LPGA Championship winner in June, had a 13-under 131 total at Emirates Golf Club. England's Felicity Johnson was second after a 67, and American Cindy Lacrosse had a 69 to top the group at 8 under in the Ladies European Tour's season-ending event.
Defending champion Lexi Thompson was 7 under after a 68. Michelle Wie has 1 under after a 73.
DURBAN, South Africa (AP) - Rain has washed out play in the inaugural Nelson Mandela Championship. The event opens the 2013 European Tour season and also is sanctioned by the Sunshine Tour.

A city committee today voted 5-0 to implement single sort recycling in Minneapolis, 30 years after the city began its curbside recycling program.
City staff is still working out the finer points of how the program will look, but David Herberholz, the city's new director of solid waste and recycling services, said residents could be wheeling out one big cart with all of their recyclables as soon as this winter.
"We are going to move forward as quickly as we possibly can," Public Works Director Steven Kotke said. "We're going to work wherever we can to shorten that timeframe for implementing the system."
The Transportation and Public Works Committee's decision came after it was given a consultant's report showing the city's recycling rate at just 18 percent, while St. Paul recycles at a 30 percent rate and Portland at a 34 percent rate. Hennepin County has set a 35 percent goal for the city.
The consultant, David Stead of Resource Recycling Systems, said a single-sort system would lower the city's annual net recycling operation costs from $900,000 a year to $717,00 a year while increasing the city's recycling rate to 32 percent. He based that estimate on other cities that implemented single sort program as well as results from the ongoing pilot programs in the ECCO and Willard-Hay neighborhoods of Minneapolis.
Kotke said it would cost about $8.3 million for the city to buy eight new trucks and to replace recycling bins with rolling carts. Kotke said the Public Works Department could handle the capital costs without borrowing, although he will bring back a full implementation plan and budget in June.
"It appears, given the fund balance that we have, we should be able to manage this without issuing bonds," he said.
Herberholz said he doesn't expect garbage and recycling rates to increase as a result of the new system.
"Frankly, I never expected that almost on every single data point you look at, the direction goes to single sort as the right answer," City Council Member Elizabeth Glidden (Ward 8).
Herberholz has been on the job for three months. He said that the reason single sort has taken so long to adopt in Minneapolis is because new technology at processing facilities has lowered the cost of sorting recyclables.
"The technology has caught up," he said.
The big challenge, Heberholz said, will be increasing education to residents. When cities go to a single sort system, residents tend to throw more un-recyclable materials into their carts, forcing the city to pay for those materials to be disposed.
"And that's why education is of the utmost importance" he said.

Or if you're planning a summer trip, their In Flight playlist series will give you hours of your favorite genre for any car, flight or hotel time.
Ads are nowhere to be found, you can skip tracks as much as you'd like, and you can also download songs and playlists to listen to offline without sending your data plan charges skyrocketing when you're not in your house. That's some serious summertime incentive.

Thanks for posting this. It is hard to have hope sometimes, isn't it?
And sometimes I think that in 20 years my kids will be saying to me, "Why did you let it happen? Why didn't you DO something?" ...and I will have to tell them we were mowing the lawn, doing the laundry, carpooling to school, and playing catch while it was all happening.

AMEN, MOM-NOS!! Thanks so much for posting this and for doing your part in waking people up!
I am so worried for our country...I really am!

I had to come out after 8 months of lurking just to say amen.

I completely agree that this was a blatant disregard of justice, but is it really any different than the previous president's pardons, and probably those of various pres's prior?

Steve, I have to admit that I remain an unabashed fan of Bill Clinton despite his four billion eleventh-hour pardons, which though legal and well within his purview, I find morally suspect. The difference I see here, though, which Olbermann expresses far better than I can, is that by all appearances (based on the way that this has played out) Libby broke the law at the behest of the administration (the Vice President if not the President himself) with the up-front assurance that he would never be held fully accountable.

Thanks for posting this. I don't know what's harder to believe—the fact that it happened, or the fact that many of us are so jaded and disenfranchised (is this the word I want?) that we just shrug our shoulders and go on with our lives.

And we thought Nixon was corrupt. Bush, Cheney, Rove, Libby make Clinton look like a saint. Congress and the Administration are the "good ol' boys" club, and they will protect each other and do each other favors, day after day, in spite of this country, and it will always be that way, unfortunately. It runs far deeper than Presidential pardons. The Democrats "gave up" by not getting the troops out of Iraq. This is the worst I've seen it here. I don't think I will vote anymore for the President or for any Senators. I give up on our wonderful system. I will now only vote for people and issues that affect me locally.

I reread All the President's Men last summer. It shocked me (again) to know how corrupt and desperate the Nixon administration was. I'm disappointed (read: shocked to the core) at the lack of accountability in our current leadership.

To me, this is nothing but a small blip. He has already chosen to simply ignore, rather than veto, laws that have been enacted by congress and signed by the President. He has already suspended the writ of habeas corpus. He has subjected ordinary Americans to illegal search and seizure, and circumvented even the special secret mechanism set up for him to do so. He has told regulatory agencies not to enforce the regulations that they have on the books, because he doesn't like them - not in the "resetting of priorities" sense that all administrations engage in, but in the sense of a wholesale end to enforcement of huge swaths of the law. MOre than any before him, he has politicized the rank and file of the prosecutorial ranks to ensure that -- not only just what HE doesn't like is prosecuted, but also that Judges are babysat through a program he set up at the DOJ to keep track of them stepping "out of line" out there in the rest of the country.
Somehow, he fails to understand that the rule of law is undermined and cannot be regained. I think Scooter is at best a stupid footnote. He's more about the lies than about the extraordinary damage that has been done to this democracy at absolutely all levels. It is just a small example of his utter disregard for our form of government, but more importantly, for the rule by law and not by men upon which it relies and without which we are no more than some nations we could name where no one feels safe and justice never stops to take root.
That he has not been impeached is but the last nail in the coffin. If not for this, then for what? If not these two, then whom?

I echo all the comments, especially vtbudfan. I have no justification in what we've allowed to happen, other than falling prey to that all-purpose collective amnesia this administration has so effectively wrought. You almost think there's something in the water.

And the corruption continues... (this was in today's news) I also read that the 2 to 1 decision was 2 Republican judges vs 1 Democrat judge... http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/07/06/court.domestic.spying/index.html

Way to go, MOM-NOS. Keith said it all. Mark Rich was not part of a White House Administration. This is a corrupt Presidency, with no regard for the law.

So what are they waiting for??
- July 07, 2007 1:37 AM
It was actually somewhat healing for me to watch this clip. I've been so angry, for so long, that to hear a public figure deliver a six-minute scathing indictment of the Administration made me feel good. He put many of the things I would like to say into words more elegant than I could write myself.

at the time I was dealing with 10-15 year old cars likely with the o-e calipers
- I had 2 april 87 build date shelby z's, at the same time
your stuff might be "newer"
the early april car was single diaphragm booster (t top)
late april car was duel diagram (o-e sunroof)
DD '87 Sundance T1, 12PSI, SLH with rear disks
I'm really having no trouble locating them. Centric, Raybestos, AutoZone's Duralast brand all seem to have them in stock with and without bracket. Price range from $35 to around $60 plus core. Looks like left has more stock than right, but I had no trouble locating either.
4467450 sure would like a new set of rear drums whatever brand, anybody know? I have 809 CSX-T
Miles, those rotors must be CRAP to be "warping" in the back. I've NEVER seen that on our cars!
I have also had a number of cars with these calipers, and beyond the parking brake being out of adjustment, I've not had issues with them, either.
I could see why it might be difficult to find a simple part when you call and say I need a___ for a chrysler maserati somethin somethin... as opposed to asking for an 88 daytona part
like putting a turbo 400 u-joint in a rolls royce
same part .. very different price
I *just* looked on Rock Auto and they do have both sides listed. Since they are a "close-out" reseller, those probably are in stock.
I can just picture this scene. Typical gray hired original TC owner looking up auto parts stores in the yellow pages and not finding any luck at his/her local Auto-Zone, as opposed to doing a national search on the Web. Many TC owners think the only parts source for their cars is Larry at TC parts. A great source for parts, but hardly the only place to look. "Someone" is still rebuilding them, as they're still charging for cores. So a couple people strike out looking for them and it becomes official there is ZERO stock left, so we all need to send cores to TC parts. He gets them rebuilt, rightfully tacks on his upcharge, freight charges several directions, and that's how you end up with a $300 rebuilt caliper.
three of those would get you a set of wilwoods
I actually want to ask them next winter if it's possible to drill their backing plate to fit our spindles .. and if they have a rotor what would have the right hub / spindle stack height
I spent a couple of weeks researching the neon stuff and found a thread here or on TD about using neon parts but it seemed more a work around than a solution
and I even found a wilwood kit for neon from one of the neon enthusiast shops ... but that has no parking brake option
then I looked at newer vans ... lol (not gonna work)
and the "cloud" cars at the wreckers didn't impress me much either
my solution for the time being is simply a set of caravan 5x114 drums and spindles
(I want the wider track and noting modern performance's race car neon busted a spindle without good reason makes me think bigger is probably going to be better)
- and the big drum SHOULD work ok with the big front brakes .. it might even stop the rears from locking like the discs as the force is spread in the drum unlike the discs with a small initial "pinch" point
If you are going Wilwood there is a vendor that has experience making kits for our cars, including the T3 GTP that Brian Slowe did. Theres a Daytona on the below page as well.
well , THAT link went straight into my desktop chassis file
THANK YOU very much Oggie
that's THE post of the month for me right there !
- 'cause the guy with the parts makes 299 for rebuilding calipers ?
Perhaps we should start a thread with pics of each design, including casting numbers/part numbers and create a database that shows what parts came on what cars and see what interchanges with what. I don't see the TC calipers being that different from the American built cars, unless the Italians had some crazy idea that they thought was better than Dodge's parts.
The TC's rear calipers are exactly the same as the '87/'88 Daytona Shelby Z. The fronts I think are slightly different than the regular single pin K-H calipers, but I'll have to look again when I get home.

Washington, D.C. — Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) released its annual Most Corrupt Members of Congress report, which takes a bipartisan look at Washington's worst. Members on this year's list engaged in misconduct ranging from collecting illegal campaign contributions to accepting improper gifts and loans, and even using campaign funds for personal expenses. In this year's report, 13 members were named to the list, while 4 more garnered dishonorable mentions.
Click here to read the full report.
"Ethics proved to be a major issue during the 2012 election. As a result, many unethical members are no longer in office," said CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan. "But CREW's latest report proves there is still much work to be done to clean up Congress."
This year's report includes 10 repeat offenders, 6 of whom are appearing for at least the third time. Although CREW assigns no ranking system to the list, several members' actions are particularly egregious.
Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-FL) is making his fifth appearance on CREW's list for an ever-expanding rap sheet, including tax evasion and an illegal campaign contribution scheme. Notably, at least 11 separate individuals and companies associated with the Florida congressman have been fined for their involvement in making conduit contributions to his campaigns. Similarly, Rep. Don Young (R-AK) is making his fifth appearance for infractions ranging from earmarking funds to benefit a campaign contributor to using campaign funds for personal expenses.
On the Democratic side, Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), making his third appearance, has been under investigation for his ties to several non-profit groups and for accepting improper gifts and loans. He is joined by Rep. Rob Andrews (D-NJ), appearing in CREW's report for his second straight year for using campaign funds for personal expenses, including a family trip to Scotland.
In addition to these repeat offenders, there are seven members of Congress appearing for the first time in CREW's Most Corrupt report. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) earned a place on this year's list as a result of the numerous legal investigations tied to her failed 2012 presidential bid. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, earned his spot after it was revealed he used his position to benefit a close friend and campaign donor. Proving congressional corruption isn't limited to veteran lawmakers, freshman Rep. David Valadao (R-CA) also makes an appearance in this year's report for abusing his position on the House Appropriations Committee to benefit his own financial interests.
Sloan continued, "It is disheartening that neither the Department of Justice, the Federal Election Commission, nor the congressional ethics committees are tough on politicians who cross the ethical line. Exactly what does a corrupt lawmaker have to do before those charged with enforcing the laws will step in?"
This is the ninth edition of CREW's Most Corrupt report, an annual look at unethical conduct by members of Congress. This year's list includes 6 Democrats and 11 Republicans; 10 are repeat offenders. Since 2005, CREW has named 88 members of Congress to the list, 45 of whom are no longer in office.

Grammys 2014: Taylor Swift leads the red carpet metal brigade
We saw gravity-defying hair, mother-and-son dressing and one batty hat, a striking wide-brimmed Smokey Bear-style worn by Pharrell Williams.
But fashion with a capital "F?" There wasn't much of it on the Grammys red carpet this year. In fact, it was kind of a bust.
One reason? Though she performed, style diva Beyoncé didn't walk the walk, neither did Rihanna. No Gaga or Miley either. But Taylor Swift did, and she was the best-dressed of the rest, leading the charge in the metallic brigade.
PHOTOS: Best and worst dressed at the Grammys
Swift's Gucci gold lamé column gown was overlaid with so many crystals, she told E! Entertainment TV, "I think it's bulletproof."
John Legend's wife, Chrissy Teigen, also sparkled, showing some killer cleavage in a strapless gold sequin gown by designer Johanna Johnson. A pregnant Ciara collaborated with Emilio Pucci's Peter Dundas on her copper-beaded, serpentine-looking style. Amber Rose shimmered in Naeem Khan with a maze of sequin details. And in a twist on the precious metal front, Rita Ora chose a short, woven metallic Lanvin cocktail dress in absinthe green with lavender undertones.
Going for a lighter touch, Katy Perry wore a gossamer-like gown, emblazoned with musical notes, that came down the Valentino Couture runway just last week. Kacey Musgraves chose an Armani Privé soft pink tiered tulle gown scattered with crystals that was reminiscent of spun sugar. And Paris Hilton made a grand entrance in a beaded white turtleneck gown with sheer scroll-patterned insets that showed her assets. The gown was by L.A.-based Haus of Milani, which was one of several under-the-radar labels flying high on the Grammys red carpet.
In the too-cute category, Madonna and her 8-year-old son David both turned up in Ralph Lauren tuxedos and black hats. (The queen mum of pop really piled on the accessories, adding a gold mouth grill, Maltese cross pin, crystal hand bracelet and walking stick.) Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon also wore matching lids.
Then there were the head-scratchers.
Williams, who routinely makes best-dressed lists, turned up in a red leather track jacket, jeans with a key chain swinging from his belt loop (as if he needs keys) and the aforementioned park ranger hat.
Other guys brought it though, sporting lots of color on the red carpet, including Macklemore in a plush, teal velvet shawl-collar tuxedo.
Thrift store find, perhaps? If so, we'll take it.

ErrReport DLL 6.21 has been released! This new version adds a
much-requested SilentMode feature. SilentMode allows you to trap and log
all run-time errors without displaying a message box or interrupting the
user. This is great for unattended execution or server side applications.
Also included in this version is even more diagnostic information to help
you track down that hard to find error. Specifically, ProcListInfo will
list *all* running processes (including filename and version number)
currently in memory and EnvironmentInfo will list all environment variables
and their values.
Of course, ErrReport DLL includes all the features you have come to expect
from a commercial quality error handler/report, such as the procedure and
line number where the error occurred, a trace of called procedures, and all
the diagnostic information you can possibly think of. Text file logging
built-in. ErrReport DLL is designed for both desktop and enterprise
One best and most unique features of ErrReport DLL is that it can take an
screenshot of the entire desktop at the time of the run-time error. Never
again will you have to ask a user what they were doing because you will
already know.
ErrReport DLL is free! A demonstration program and complete documentation
are also provided.
You can download the latest version, 6.2.1, from the File Bank at

City launches parking district on Washington Avenue
The Houston City Council on Wednesday formed a special parking district along Washington Avenue, intended to ease the woes associated with the bustling corridor's mix of bars, restaurants and residential streets.
The plan will add parking meters on about 350 spaces along Washington, and will make it easier for residents to require parking permits on sleepy side streets. The district extends one block on either side of Washington between Westcott and Houston Avenue.
After paying for the meters, two parking enforcement officers and a meter mechanic, the new revenues will be split between the district and the city, with the district keeping 60 percent for enhancements. Projects will be chosen by a committee of local business owners and residents and could include security, lighting, sidewalks, shuttles or a parking garage.
Meters add patrons
More Information
In other action
In other action Wednesday, City Council:
1 Approved, with no discussion and a 16-1 vote, $138 million in economic incentives and tax rebates to build a second downtown convention center hotel, a 1,000-room Marriott Marquis that, with the Hilton-Americas, will serve George R. Brown Convention Center.
1 Formed a two-part economic development district called the Greater Houston Zone, which covers part of downtown and a huge area around the South Loop and along Texas 288. The tax increment reinvestment zone was created at Harris County's request, and grew from the two governments' negotiations three years ago to build a stadium for the Houston Dynamo.
Councilwoman Ellen Cohen, who, with Councilman Ed Gonzalez, represents the area, cheered the approval, saying it will spur turnover for businesses and protect residents. She said data from other cities shows the meters will add patrons, not drive them away.
"People that go out to restaurants and are prepared to spend a significant amount of money want to find a place to park," Cohen said. "They're certainly prepared to spend a little bit more to find a place and pay for it."
Mayor Annise Parker said it will take time to install meters, grant permits and give businesses time to find parking for their employees, who have been using prime spots on Washington. Once set up, she said, the district will launch an 18-month pilot period.
The meters will charge $2 an hour at night and $1 an hour during the day, or can issue nightlong passes for $7.
"Few people like the idea of parking meters, and even fewer people like the idea of having to pay for a permit to park in front of their own house," said Jane West, president of a local coalition of civic clubs. "But the parking situation is so acute that these are the best solutions anyone has been able to come up, and we've all been working together on it for almost four years."
Wednesday's vote also waived the requirement that 75 percent of a block seeking parking permits be made up of single-family homes for streets within 1,000 feet of Washington. Residents still must show parking problems, that their block supports permits and get City Council approval.
Ricardo Molina, who owns a cantina on Washington, said he supports residential permits, but called the overall plan misguided.
Dissenting voices
"They say it's going to create turnover, but it's not going to create any new parking, and the reality is that most of the people who are having a lot of issues, crowding, and noise - that's late at night when restaurant folks are home in bed," Molina said. "This doesn't solve that problem."
Councilman Mike Sullivan, one of two "no" votes, said entertainment districts shift over time and that city intervention was unnecessary.
"There's a lot of business and a lot of traffic going on," he said, "but the assumption that parking meters are going to increase accessibility to the businesses is going to end up being unfounded."
