Double Trouble
We admittedly play a little fast and loose with the definition of muscle car when it comes to choosing features for MCR. Many of the cars on these pages fit the textbook description: midsize American two-door with a fullsize V-8 marketed at the emerging youth market in the '60s and '70s.
But quite a few don't. Mustangs, Camaros, and Mopar E-Bodies are pony cars by strict definition, yet certain examples belong here. Torinos, Impalas, Bonnevilles, even the occasional Chrysler letter cars show up here too, despite their outsize exterior dimensions. As with the pony cars, the right combination of power and style can turn those big boats into righteous haulers, even if their original purpose was more mom 'n' pop transportation than street/strip warrior.
The two cars you see here never did any family truckster duties, despite their big-car stature. Kris Ewing's graceful 1962 bubbletop Bel Air and Phill Beuoy's R-Code 1963½ Galaxie were drag racers from the get-go, hammered into submission a quarter-mile at a time by their original owners. Both have been reborn with enough attitude to part traffic as they motor around California's central coast, their big-inch big-blocks emitting a sinister rumble that barely hints at the violence on tap should the skinny pedal hit the floor.
If this isn't muscle, we don't know what is.
Both have been reborn with enough attitude to part traffic
The Ace in the Hole
Kris Ewing runs Bel Air Ranch, a hot rod/restoration shop tucked into the small central California town of Buellton. He's active in the car community, setting up displays to promote his shop at most local events. When he does, he usually brings out a customer's car to demonstrate his shop's handiwork. "But when all my customer's cars are in pieces, we'll take this one," says Kris. "It's our ace in the hole."
It's not hard to see why. The bodywork is laser-straight, the black lacquer paint looks a mile deep, and the 409 in the engine bay is a working piece of art.
After he finished racing it he stuck it in the barn, and it got really abused in there
Yet this Chevy looked nothing like this when Kris bought it. "It had been stored for years in a barn with only half a roof and no sides on it," says Kris. "It was a really rough piece. Someone had gone in and started stripping it; they took the wheels and tires and let it sit in the dirt."
Remarkably, "it had never been wrecked," says Kris. "The sheetmetal was still good. The diff was still in the car, but the engine and four-speed were gone."
Kris figures he is the car's fourth owner. He has spoken to the original owner, who said he raced it on the East Coast in C and D Stock when it was new. Back then it had a 300-horse 327 under the hood. "He was a weekend warrior, not a pro," Kris says. "After he finished racing it he stuck it in the barn, and it got really abused in there."
Once Kris rolled his purchase off the flatbed, he started its rebirth "by making a long list of the missing parts. We spent the first couple of years just sourcing parts to put the thing back together. We tried to find parts that were correctly date coded to the manifest date on the sticker, tried to make it as correct as possible. It was originally black with a green interior, so we painted it like that again and put an original green interior back in."
The big deviation from stock, of course, is that 409. "I have a 327 in the shop and could make it exactly like it was," he explains. "But when I was a kid working in a gas station, a guy I knew who was right out of the service bought a bubbletop 348/four-speed car. I thought that car was really bitchin.' And when the '62s came out, they were even better."
So a W-motor was the engine of choice for this Bel Air. Kris sourced a '62 QA 409/409 block and had Engine Tech of Santa Maria, California, perform a 0.040 overbore. Joe Sherman of Sherman Racing Engines ported and polished the heads and fitted them with big-block valves.
Kris says the W-series engine is burdened with a serious Achilles' heel: reciprocating assembly weight. "The pistons in these engines were extremely heavy. You couldn't rev them hard because they had so much piston weight." So during the rebuild, Kris sent a set of JE pistons out to be lightened and used Childs And Albert lightweight pins. "We tried to lighten the reciprocating weight in the motor as much as we could to make it rev quicker. That way it's not as stressful on the engine."
Kris hasn't had this engine on the dyno, but based on other, similar motors he's built, "it's making an easy 550 hp."
It's making an easy 550 hp

Not a Harley
Back in the mid '90s, Phill Beuoy's wife Debra wanted a trip to England. Phill made her a deal: if she got the trip, he could get a Harley-Davidson. He says, "I knew that would never fly, and the trip would be off, but lo and behold she made the deal!"
Once back from across the pond, Phill started thinking about motorcycles. "But I looked in the mirror and I didn't fit the image of someone who would look cool on a Harley: shorts, flip-flops, and car-show T-shirts. I decided a hot rod or a muscle car would be more appropriate."
Everything on the car was still original. It had no rust in it, ever
Phill is a longtime Ford guy who has owned several Galaxies, so he put the word out to friends that he was looking for a car. It didn't take long before he got a lead on a basket case out in Ojai. The car belonged to a man named Mark Bahner who restored Formula 1 cars. Over the years he had acquired a 1962 409 Chevy and a 1963½ R-code Galaxie 500, both of which he had intended to restore, but both of which were now for sale. The sight of the Galaxie put a huge grin on Phill's face. "I knew right away that was the car for me."
Mark told Phill that the Galaxie "was a drag race car out of Missouri. He found it in Texas in the '70s. Everything on the car was still original—sheetmetal, engine, four-speed, the rearend. It had no rust in it, ever."
Mark had started the restoration project 20 years before, Phill says. "He had carefully disassembled the car, marked and cataloged all the parts, media-blasted it, and primered it." Three trailer loads later, the project moved from Mark's tin shed to Phill's garage.
Restoring the Galaxie was a team effort. After Phill got the body off the frame, he shot the frame in PPG gloss black while his friend Wayne Henderson painted the underside of the body "with a pressure pot, lying on the floor." Wayne's son Ron then went to work on the body, finishing what Mark had started "in just a few short months."
Once the body was back on the frame, Wayne and Ron perfected panel fit while Phill and another friend, Richard Bouman, tackled the interior. "The dashboard spent almost a year in our front bedroom," Phill says. "Wayne painted the interior parts in his backyard, and Richard and I reassembled it in our bedroom." Among the few things Phill farmed out was the upholstery, which Todd Aho of Performance Interiors redid using the original Gleam Cloth Red.
Phill also sent the Galaxie's 427 out for a rebuild—to longtime friend Kris Ewing. "Kris is a Chevy guy, but he's built all my Ford motors," says Phill. As he did with his own 409, Kris sent the FE block to Engine Tech for machining. One cylinder was holed (damage from the car's racing days), so Engine Tech sleeved the bore and then ground 0.020 inch from all the cylinders.
Kris then rebuilt the motor using Ross pistons and Ford LeMans rods on a 391 Ford truck forged crank, a Ford solid-lifter cam, the original cast-iron heads (fitted with Manley valves, Crane springs, and Harland Sharp rockers), and an original low-riser intake manifold sporting twin 600-cfm Holley carbs. The combo dyno'd at 500 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque.
When it was time to apply the Galaxie's final finish, the team built a plastic drop-cloth "paint booth" in Phill's garage. Wayne then spent two days spraying the Ford in Rangoon Red, topped by three coats of clear.
Two years to the day after the project began, the car was finished. "My wife, who had helped with the reassembly of the car, almost cried," says Phill. "Well, that's because the car was backed into the garage, and all the fumes from the exhaust went straight into the kitchen."

The Supreme Court has ruled that Aereo, a start-up company that streams local TV signals to consumers over the Internet via remote antennas, violates the Copyright Act.
In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court dismissed Aereo's argument that it was merely an antenna service and compared it to a cable system. Aereo, which is available in 11 markets, charges customers between $8 and $12 a month for its service, which includes a cloud-based digital video recorder.
"Aereo is not simply an equipment provider," the ruling said. "Aereo sells a service that allows subscribers to watch television programs, many of which are copyrighted, virtually as they are being broadcast."
The opinion was written by Justice Stephen G. Breyer and joined by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Anthony M. Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.
The ruling reverses a decision by the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals that found Aereo to be a legal enterprise and not in violation of the Copyright Act.
Launched in 2012 and backed by media mogul Barry Diller, Aereo was seen as a threat to the revenue stream broadcasters get from pay-TV providers in return for carrying their signals.
In a joint statement, the broadcast networks said that "today's decision is a victory for consumers. The court has sent a clear message that it will uphold the letter and spirit of the law just as Congress intended."
Justice Antonin Scalia dissented along with Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr.
In the dissenting opinion Scalia compared Aereo to a copy shop that rents copiers on a per-use basis.
"One customer might copy his 10-year-old's drawings — a perfectly lawful thing to do — while another might duplicate a famous artist's copyrighted photographs — a use clearly prohibited by [the Copyright Act]. Either way, the customer chooses the content and activates the copying function; the photocopier does nothing except in response to the customer's commands. Because the shop plays no role in selecting the content, it cannot be held directly liable when a customer makes an infringing copy," he wrote.
Aereo founder and Chief Executive Chet Kanojia has said in interviews that if the Supreme Court ruled against the service, it may have to go out of business.

Casio FX-880p
** New - In original packaging **
These are the original Casio FX-880P Handheld computer in production around
1990. They are all brand new and in their original boxes with manual etc. Only a small number of these machines available.
The FX-880P was the top of the range Casio handheld with 2 x 32 character
display and 32Kb of memory which compares well even with modern calculators.
Along with all the usual functions you would expect to find on a scientific
calculator it is programmable in the BASIC language. Back in 1990 BASIC enjoyed
wide acceptance. It was installed by default on most PCs and taught in many
colleges and universities so to find it on a handheld was a real innovation.
The Fx880p has a built-in library of BASIC formula and functions. Any function
in the library can be executed from a regular BASIC program by using GOTO "LIB0:NNNN" where
NNNN is the function number (e.g. 5010 for prime factorization). The command "GOTO
LIB0:0400" executes a self-test program. Example program

Leary and his band The Enablers embarked on the "Rescue Me Comedy Tour" in 2009 � a multi-city tour including Radio City Music Hall and the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. Leary also toured in 1997, coming off a stretch that produced the lauded HBO special, "Lock 'N Load." Prior to that, he performed his smash hit one-man show, "No Cure For Cancer," which became one of the highest grossing comedy albums of all time. In 2006 he was given an Honorary Doctorate in the Fine Arts from his alma mater, Emerson College.

I needed a way to visualize which t get hit for a polynomial such as when z ranges in a simple set such as a square or a circle. That is, really this is a generically two-valued function above the z plane. Of course we can't just graph it since we don't have 4 real dimensions (I want t and z to of course be complex). For each complex z, there are generically two complex t above it.
So instead of looking for existing solutions (boring, surely there is a much more refined tool out there) I decided it is the perfect time to learn a bit of Python and checkout how it does math. Surprisingly well it turns out. Look at the code yourself. You will need numpy, cairo, and pygobject. I think except for numpy everything was installed on fedora. To change the polynomial or drawing parameters you need to change the code. It's not really documented, but it should not be too hard to find where to change things. It's less than 150 lines long, and you should take into considerations that I've never before written a line of python code, so there might be some things which are ugly. I did have the advantage of knowing GTK, though I never used Cairo before and I only vaguely knew how it works. It's probably an hour or two's worth coding, the rest of yesterday afternoon was spent on playing around with different polynomials.
What it does is randomly pick z points in a rectangle, by default real and imagnary parts going from -1 to 1. Each z point has a certain color assigned. On the left hand side of the plot you can see the points picked along with their colors. Then it solves the polynomial and plots the two (or more if the polynomial of higher degree) solutions on the right with those colors. It uses the alpha channel on the right so that you get an idea of how often a certain point is picked. Anyway, here is the resulting plot for the polynomial given above:
I am glad to report (or not glad, depending on your point of view) to report that using the code I did find a counterexample to a Lemma I was trying to prove. In fact the counterexample is essentially the polynomial above. That is, I was thinking you'd probably have to have hit every t inside the "outline" of the image if all the roots were 0 at zero. It turns this is not true. In fact there exist polynomials where t points arbitrarily close to zero are not hit even if the outline is pretty big (actually the hypothesis in the lemma were more complicated, but no point in stating them since it's not true). For example, doesn't hit a whole neighbourhood of the point . Below is the plot for . Note that as n goes to infinity the singularity gets close to which is the union of two complex lines.
By the way, be prepared the program eats up quite a bit of ram, it's very inefficient in what it does, so don't run it on a very old machine. It will stop plotting points after a while so that it doesn't bring your machine to its knees if you happen to forget to hit "Stop". Also it does points in large "bursts" instead of one by one.
Update: I realized after I wrote above that I never wrote a line of python code that I did write a line of python code before. In my evince/vim/synctex setup I did fiddle with some python code that I stole from gedit, but I didn't really write any new code there rather than just whacking some old code I did not totally understand with a hammer till it fit in the hole that I needed (a round peg will go into a square hole if hit hard enough).

We have to admit that couponing is one of the best ways to save money (don't you agree)? More than 8,000 of you responded to our 2017 RedPlum® Purse String Survey to share your couponing experiences and the reality is that using coupons means big wins in saving money for families. However, whether you print or download coupons to store loyalty programs, there are several coupon mistakes to avoid.
Remember to keep these savvy coupon tips in mind to save more money, time, and to prevent coupon fraud.
- Searching for every coupon available. Be realistic. Spend your time wisely by searching for coupons online, within your newspaper, and shopping apps only for the items that you need. Meal planning and creating shopping lists can help you cut costs.
- Failing to join your favorite store newsletters. Do you have a store that you shop frequently? Make sure you subscribe to receive newsletters to get coupons and deals that may not be available anywhere else. Plus, it is free to get these additional deals via email.
- Failing to organize coupons. Become a coupon pro by creating a coupon binder to keep your coupons organized and ready to use during checkout. Check out the top three ways to organize your coupons.
- Misusing coupons. It is important to follow the legal wording shown at the bottom of each coupon. Prohibited coupon activities such as buying coupons, photocopying coupons, and stealing newspapers are illegal. Learn what you need to do to avoid and report coupon fraud.
- Failing to understand store coupon policies. Make sure you find out the coupon policies of the stores you plan to use coupons in advance. Doing so can help save time and misunderstandings at the time of purchase. You can visit the store's website to search for their policy.
These are some of the most popular couponing mistakes to avoid. If you are new to couponing, remember to keep these tips in mind and to be patient. It takes time finding the coupons that work best for you and the needs of your family.

If you are developing an application for Linux desktop and would like to automatically find out more information about system, use the following commands in shell scripts to gather information about system. Recently I was involved in project where I need to collect information about running GUI, browser and other information such as disk space, running kernel etc.
Find out KDE Desktop version:
konqueror --version
Find out Gnome Desktop version:
gnome-panel --version
Find out Mozilla browser version:
mozilla --version
Find out Firefox browser version:
firefox --version
Find out current Language:
set | egrep '^(LANG|LC_)'
Find out disk space usage:
df -h
Find/Estimate file space usage:
du -h
Find out version of Linux glibc:
ls -l /lib/libc-*.so /lib/libc.so*
Find out user limits:
ulimit -a
Find out installed device drivers (modules)
Find out information about an X server:
It can find out:
- Name of display:
- Version number
- Vendor name (such as The XFree86 Project)
- Vendor release number
- And XFree86 version number
Find out information about Linux CPU
cat /proc/cpuinfo
Find out information about Linux Memory
cat /proc/meminfo
free -m
free -g
Find out user shell name:
ps -p $$ | tail -1 | awk '{ print $4 }'
Dump Linux kernel variables
/sbin/sysctl -a
Find out running Linux kernel version:
uname -mrs uname -a cat /proc/version
Dump or display memory information and swap information:
free -m
Network card and IP address information:
ifconfig -a ifconfig -a|less
Debian / Ubuntu Linux network configuration file (all interface eth0,eth1,…ethN)
more /etc/network/interfaces
Redhat / CentOS / Fedora Linux network configuration file (eth0)
more /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Note replace eth1 for 2nd network card and so on.
Display routing information
route -n route
Display list of all open ports
netstat -tulpn
View login related logs
tail -f /var/log/secure vi /var/log/secure grep 'something' /var/log/secure
View mail server related logs
tail -f /var/log/maillog vi /var/log/maillog grep 'something' /var/log/maillog
Find how long the system has been running
uname w
Show who is logged on and what they are doing
w who
Display list of tasks
Display all running process
ps aux ps aux | grep process-name
Display list of all installed software on Redhat / CentOS / Fedora
rpm -qa rpm -qa | grep 'software-name' rpm -qa | less
Display list of all installed software on Debian / Ubuntu
dpkg --list
Once information collected it can be easily send as an email to help desk. You can use all above command to gathers information about a remote Linux system over secure ssh session (see related functions that gathers up information about a Linux and FreeBSD system). Best part is all above commands runs in non privileged mode.
