This custom Corvette is billed as a tribute to the late Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, creator of the memorable Rat Fink character and a key player in the 1960′s custom/hot rod movement in Southern California. The converted C3 features an open engine bay and a bubble-top roof, and the rear end is, well, you just have to see it. The Corvette was spotted outside the Las Vegas Convention Center where it will be on display at the SEMA show this week. A walk-around video is after the jump.
Customized Corvettes
I guess the new Convertible Corvette Grand Sport is just too tame for some folks.
Here is a Velocity Yellow Corvette ZR1 that has gone topless. The pics were posted to Twitter, but I have no background info on the car or the conversion process. Obviously, the 638-hp Chevy supercar was on display at a car show somewhere. If you have any details, please share!
These pics date back to an August 8th car show in the Walmart parking lot in Harleysville, PA. Apparently, the owner bought the Corvette ZR1 and a yellow Corvette convertible donor car at the same time. He had a shop do the conversion which cut off the carbon fiber roof and then used parts off the convertible to complete the conversion.
There is no word on whether or not the frame was strengthened. As our commenters have pointed out, the aluminum frame wasn't designed for a convertible body so he can expect some body flex. Most likely, this Corvette was built for show and will never see the track.
I've got to give the owner credit. Only one like it (for now)!

Corvette Racing Fan Creates Ultimate C6.R Tribute Corvette
Just How Green is a 775 hp Twin Turbo Corvette? How About 40 mpg City and 32 mpg Hwy!
This Corvette Z06 was parked at the entrance of the Corvette Corral at last week's Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta. I had asked around for the owner but we never did hook up so details on this conversion are light at best. But obviously, the owner is a huge Corvette racing fan and his Z06 nearly replicates the look of the GT1 Corvette C6.Rs.

Neohydro Technologies has perfected its twin turbo system for the C6 Corvette. While the usual performance benefits of a turbo system are present: 775 horsepower and 691 Ft-lb of torque, the real trick on this install is better fuel economy which raises the mileage standard to 40 mpg around town and 32 mpg on the highway.
Neohydro calls their revolutionary twin turbo system the "Green Interactive Hybrid System". The company installs a patented rear-mounted turbo system and then gives it an advanced custom tune that increases the efficiency of the car. Neohydro claims their GIHS system will not only boost horsepower and fuel efficiency, but when purchased with a new GM vehicle, the GIHS system is covered under the full factory warranty.
While turbo charging is typically used to create more power, one of the benefits is that it also helps create more power with less effort. On the rear-mounted turbo install, the compressed air runs back to the intercooler and then into the engine. Neohydro claims rear-mounted turbo systems are superior to traditional engine-mounted systems because they are efficient, less intrusive, easier to install and are very reliable. The GIHS turbo systems are legal in all 50 states.
Corvette Magazine heard about the GIHS turbo Corvette and recently put the car through its paces. Corvette Magazine's Editor Eric Gustafson said the Corvette is "very fast" and "its a very neat installation. It's nice to get into an aftermarket modified car without the check engine light on." Look for the full review to run in March 2010 issue which hits newsstands in January.

This 2009 Corvette ZR1 was imported into Australia and received a right hand drive conversion from the Corvette Clinic in Bundoora, Victoria. This is just the first of America's King of the Hill to receive the RHD treatment which allows the cars to be fully registerable in all Australian states. According to the Corvette Clinic, two more Corvette ZR1s, a Victory Red and a Cyber Gray model, will soon get the conversion as well.
Converting a Corvette to right hand drive isn't an easy task. The Corvette Clinic created a new dash and had to remanufacture some of the steering components to make it work. What I like about their ZR1 conversion is that they were also able to move the 6-Speed transmission shifter knob to the right side of the center console as well.

Yesterday was the running of the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard. As in the past, the Corvette Z06 was chosen as the Pace Car and we got to say that the graphics package consisting of red and charcoal work very well. The Festival Corvettes, which are the silver Convertibles, were also on hand for the weekend and are used for ferrying drivers and track officials and VIPs to various events during the week leading up the race.
Check out the gallery of photos from Corvettes at the Allstate 400.

The Wake County Sheriff's Office just confiscated a Corvette Z06 from a baddie and turned it into an unmarked police car. This has been confirmed by several in the Raleigh area who have seen the car lit up like a Christmas tree along I40 as well as the guy who installed the light bar.
Posted on horsepowerjunkies.com was this quote supposedly from a Wake County Sheriff's Deputy:
That SUM BITCH is BADD! It was a drug seizure vehicle, and the county nor the state spent a dime on that car except to put gas in it. All of the lights and equipment in the car is recycled from another cruiser that has been retired. The only way you will get away from this car is if you go through a parking lot with speed bumps, or cross a median."
According to others that chimed in, the vehicle was donated by a local drug dealer who paid cash for the car. Other than time spent installing the light bar, no other expenses have been incurred in turning this Corvette into a police car.
"No expenses" may be the case, but wait until the Sheriff's office needs to come up with $2K for a set of new tires!

Every once in a while a custom Corvette will come along that knocks your socks off and this is definitely one of those moments. Named the Goodguys Street Machine of the Year, this 1962 Corvette was built by The Roadster Shop for customer Barry Blomquist and showed at the Goodguys PPG Nationals in Columbus, Ohio where it apparently made a huge impression on the judges and crowd alike.
The custom Corvette is dubbed the "C1RS" and as you can see, very few of the original components remain. Just about every part of the body was custom built, from the aluminum front end to the hand-formed hood. Carbon fiber and billet trim are featured throughout the roadster while inside the cockpit, Italian read leather seats, alcantara suede accents and an aluminum dash complete the look.
Under the hood you'll find an LS7 from Turnkey Engines that produces 618 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque. Mated to the Z06 engine is a T-56 transmission. The custom Corvette features a custom suspension components from Detroit Speed & Engineering while Brembo 14 1/2 inch, 6-piston brakes provide plenty of stopping power.
While technically a show car, this Corvette was built to go and that's what it did at the Goodguy Nationals. Each of the entries is required to run 3 laps on the autocross course and this 1962 Corvette C1RS smoked the field of 31 competitors and came in first.
"We've had this car in our minds for a long time," Jeremy Gerber smiled. "Our guys at the shop worked tirelessly over an entire year getting this car to Columbus. Barry Blonquist gave us the resources and opportunity to build our vision. We're thankful to win this award for Barry and the Roadster Shop."
The only disappointment we have is that we were only provided two photos. Hopefully one of the Corvette magazines will get together with The Roadster Shop's Phil and Jeremy Gerber for a well deserved photo shoot. If that happens, we'll be more than excited to share more of the 1962 Corvette C1RS with you.

This is a short but sweet forty second walk around the Corvette Stingray Concept featured in this summer's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen movie. The video appears to have been shot during production. For a brief instant I thought we'd finally get a look at the interior.
When the driver side door was opened, I was praying for that allusive interior shot. However, you can see the two-tone red/silver seats and it looks like the dash and steering wheel may be red as well.

I think the slow pace is not such a bad thing as there are some other things about Kobato that are mediocre or average at best. The main character is one of the problems. She is too much of a klutz. She makes a fool of herself in every episode and as a result is a bit too far on the pathetic side. The remaining characters are not better. The seemingly cold hearted guy with whom the heroine falls in love, despite the fact there is a really nice guy around, has nothing that can distinguish him from thousands of other characters of this sort that appear in shojo. The plot is generic too and the particular stories have a conspicuous lack of an interesting ideas and execution. On the whole it's quite forgettable series and, probably, will be remembered only because it's Clamp's series.

I just finished up Fate/Zero. It was good overall, although it had some pretty serious pacing issues. I really disliked all of the epilogue stuff though. I feel like it should have ended with the scene of Kiritsugu spoiler[pulling Shirou out of the rubble and saying "Thank you" over and over again]. I guess I'm just not a fan of epilogues of that variety, particularly when they take up the majority of the episode--if it's going to happen I like it when it's brief snippits without much dialogue.
While I ended up a little underwhelmed with the series as a whole, I'm going to go bankrupt buying figures from it one of these days. I just love so many of the character designs, sometimes more than I like the characters themselves.

I reached a kind of cool personal viewing milestone after watching Libary War: The Wings of Revolution at the Waterloo Festival for Animated Cinema last night. It is the 55th anime movie/special I have seen to completion, but what makes it a little different was that I have now seen more anime movie/specials in a theatre than I have via other means. I'll be adding to that proportion later on today when I see Asura and Rainbow Fireflies. Certainly, watching 10 Ghibli films that came through Toronto last winter as part of a retrospective really helped boost those numbers.
As for Library Wars the movie: meh. It's about an hour 45 minutes long and I'd say a good 1 hour 30 minutes of that is chit-chat. Oddly enough, I had seen Blood-C: The Last Dark the night before which is also a Production I.G movie and it too seemed to be about an hour thirty minutes of not terribly interesting talking in an hour forty-five time frame. I have to astericks that observation, however, because I was constantly falling asleep during it (which wasn't entirely the fault of the movie - it didn't start until close to 10:30 at night and I'm an old fart) so maybe there was more action than I think, I was just snoozing through it. Blood-C looks like a million bucks, though. The vehicles in it approach photo-realism.

I've finished Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo. It was very good, though there are a few things I think they could've done better. I wish it would've gone more into spoiler[who or what exactly] Gankutsuou is. spoiler[An alien life form it seems, but more info on its history and origin] could've answered some questions I had later on. Like in the ending... spoiler[what happened to Gankutsuou? We know that Gankutsuou doesn't die when the host dies, but did it die because the contract was voided? Or is it buried alive, and again must wait 1000 years for a new host? And now that I mention the Gankutsuou disappearing part... the way that occurred seemed kinda lame. I may be imagining this but because of the way Albert embraced the Count and his blushing all the time when he saw the Count it also seemed like yaoi bait. Edmund's release from Gankutsuou just seemed too convenient. How did whispering a few words reverse everything. His death though, was an unexpected good twist. I had completely forgotten that the Count broke off the sword when Franz stabbed him.]
Albert is only 15 for most of the series?! These are the only character designs I've ever seen where people actually look older than they are. Well, knowing Albert's age explains a lot. For more than half the series I thought he was at least 18, so his younger age explains a lot of his naivete.
When Albert and Eugenie spoiler[ran away together from her wedding to Andrea I was so happy I could've cheered. They were undeserving of all the crud that got dumped on them, and seeing them together made me so glad that the most important thing was going right. No thanks to Eugenie's horrible beyond words father.] Wow. So many terrible terrible fathers. I don't know who's worst, spoiler[Eugenie's father who treats her like property and tries to sell her, Albert's father who shoots both Albert and his mother, or Valentine's father who attempts to murder his illegitimate child at birth and has no regard for his legitimate children.]
Love how the beginning of each ep is in French. "Madame, Monsieur, bonsoir." It creates an excellent segue to the beginning of each episode. But I really didn't like the opening song at first. I felt it didn't fit very well with the series and I didn't like the singer's voice. I'm still not crazy about the guy's voice, but dang if I haven't done a 180 on liking the song and how it fits with the story. The lyrics and tone take on deeper significance with every passing episode. And the ending song is pretty kick-ass.
The visuals were great, from the art style to the mecha battles to sumptuous shots of a space filled with planets and stars. This is a great series to look at with a story filled with intrigue and revenge. Worth anybody's while to see. The only thing that could have made it better spoiler[(besides fixing the way he was transformed back in to Edmund) would have been if he had gotten his full revenge and gotten away with it] Yep, I'm evil.

Caught Asura and Rainbow Fireflies at an animation film festival on the weekend. Asura was a gruelling watch due to the subject matter (I won't spoil it for you if you don't know anything/much about the title), but ultimately a very worthwhile watch. Just don't go into it with the idea that is will be a light-hearted romp and chucklefest is all. Although if you are an incredibly warped individual, perhaps you would find it so. Drop dead gorgeous to look at - so glad I saw it on the big screen. I'm not hugely optimistic about the chances of it getting picked up for a physical release in NA. Doesn't seem to be Funi's cup of tea, so that really only leaves Sentai, I guess. Anyway, if for some bizarre reason this title is going to be playing at a theatre near you, do not wait, do not walk, run - RUN! - to watch it.
Rainbow Fireflies was a lot easier on the nerves but I didn't dig the character designs. They seemed to be half-formed to me; deliberately so, but I never did warm up the the style. Story's a'ight. I dug the ending quite a bit actually. Although not a fan of the character design, the background artwork is quite lovely. Worth a look if you are okay with slice of life pace and story line.

|I started watching Gunslinger Girls:Il Teatrino after finishing the first season. I find it a bit jarring, in terms of art and music from the first season. I was also surprised by the ending of season one, and the beginning of season 2 when spoiler[Angelica shows up alive.] Overall I'm enjoying the show.

Finished watching Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere S1 today. I'll admit I enjoyed it much more than I expected, most of the fights were pretty amazing. The size of those girls' boobs make me flinch (seriously, those girls are going to have serious back problems in a not so distant future) but it was OK, I guess. I'd watch S2 if I had it.
Will continue with Tasogare Otome x Amnesia, which I started last week and left at episode 3. I really like the twilight-sunset theme and Yuuko is wonderful, I can't wait to watch the rest.

Finally finished watching the second season of Sekirei tonight. For a booby show, it's certainly one of the better ones I've seen. The characters are each attractive in their own way, and Kuu is just adorable! The costumes are attractive and distinctive enough for each character too. Animation wise, I didn't spot anything too terrible, and the fight scenes were done pretty well.
The show also has a pretty serviceable plot, and there are good reasons for the Sekirei to be fighting, and they all seem to genuinely care about each other and Minato. I thought the show struck a nice balance of comedy and drama, like the ongoing gag with Tsukiumi and Musubi competing to see who'd be the best wife, but at the same time I felt it handled the more serious parts of the story pretty well. The main villain was pretty over the top, but considering the show has a pretty daft premise when you think about it, an evil megalomaniac super-villain in a tower isn't so bad and it made for good comic relief. The characters do all develop over the course of the show as well, and they genuinely seem to care about each other by the end. 7.5/10 overall.

Tari Tari
Reason for Watching: Bamboo Dong's recommendations in The Stream; it's ANN's highest rated 2012 series available on Crunchyroll that has concluded (I don't like watching episodes once a week), that I haven't seen, and wasn't produced by a certain company I'm boycotting (and which is generating much acrimonious debate elsewhere in the forums).
Synopsis: After being made unwelcome in her school's highly regarded choir, spirited Konatsu Miyamoto decides to form her own choral club. Despite a litany of setbacks - including a hostile vice-principal, rivalries with the established choir, a property developer hell bent on closing their school and the obligatory personal problems of the members themselves - the club manages to create their own show and, in the process, drag a reluctant school and local community along with them.
The choral club (l-r): Sawa, Taichi, Konatsu, "Wien" and Wakana.
The anime is at its best when Sawa and Wakana are foregrounded.
Tari Tari is a sunny, optimistic confection without any lingering or unpleasant aftertaste. The first thing that struck me, though, is that the detailed, pretty backgrounds and the character designs scream PA Works in general and Hanasaku Iroha in particular. That's fine, given that Hanasaku Iroha was such a revelation last year. Problem is, Tari Tari simply doesn't have any characters of the calibre of Ohana, nor do the relationships between any of the five choir club members ever achieve the complexity or emotional resonance between Ohana and the people in her life.
The story begins with Konatsu, a diminutive ball of get-up-and-go, who is initially very appealing thanks to her character design and her spunk but, like so much else in the series, she somehow manages to become superficial seeming quite quickly. By episode four she and the series had become decidedly ho-hum. Thankfully, from episode five the series moves its focus onto the other two girls in the club: a reluctant Wakana Sakai who carries a burden of guilt from the death of her mother; and the girlish, equestrian Sawa Okita who harbours unrealistic ambitions. The two quickly overshadow Konatsu in appeal, so much so that the show is always at its best when either of those two are the centre of attention. It's not just that they have ISSUES. They are successful as characters because they are both located firmly within their individual families. Wakana, in particular, has a touching relationship with her father who probably has the best moment in the entire series when Wakana decides to sell her piano. I've always believed that if you can understand where a person fits in with their family, you've gone a long way in getting a handle on them. In fiction, it helps give a character depth. Konatsu and the two boys have only fleeting and shallow family interactions and it shows in their comparatively limited development and, hence, appeal. Nevertheless, Tari Tari grows a beard from episode five, so I strongly suggest people persevere until then before giving it away.
The Vice-Principle, Naoko Takakura, spends much of the series doing her upmost to thwart the plans of Konatsu and her friends. Straight after Kurau: Phantom Memory here is another of those severe, red-lipped anime women with exaggerated Louise Brooks bobs. And yes, like Ayaka Steiger, Abelia, Limelda Jorg et al, there's a good woman beneath the repression just waiting to be redeemed.
Given the series is about a choir, it seems pretty much devoid of the club's music and, when it does get aired, it is disappointingly bland. Wakana's song - so central to the plot - is unremarkable when we finally get to hear it. Tari Tari is no Kids on the Slope. An odd thing with the character designs, though. They reflect the current fashion where the cheek lines are angular - a trait probably popularised by K-ON!. It may be just me but the style has me picturing them as old women with their sagging cheeks, something that sits incongruously with intended moe effect.
One last thing. Tari Tari has a very familiar setting - Kamakura and Enoshima - which it shares with The Vision of Escaflowne, Elfen Lied, and Squid Girl, among others. Is this the most frequently used location in anime after Tokyo?
One final last thing. The title is a reference to the tense of the two verbs used in each of the episode titles, ie the present participle. I suppose the inference is that one should live for the moment.
Ranking: decent.
Reason for Watching: I don't make it public but in "My Anime" I categorise every anime I've seen by the year of its first release. I had only seen one anime from 1983 (Barefoot Gen). Dallos was also, according to the ANN encyclopaedia, the first ever anime to be released as an OVA. It's directed by Mamoru Oshii (Patlabor, Ghost in the Shell, The Sky Crawlers) whom I greatly admire.
Synopsis: In the future the moon provides essential raw materials for earth's energy needs yet its inhabitants are treated cruelly by the authorities on earth. After witnessing the arbitrary brutality of the lunar governor and the bravery of a rebel leader, young Shun decides to throw his lot with the rebels. In the abandoned Dallos - a gigantic relic of a former civilisation - the rebels convert mining equipment into mobile armoured suits for their fight against their oppressors. Nobody heeds the warnings of the elders that Dallos might be far more powerful than anyone imagines.
Despite the reputation of its director and its historical place in anime this is an undistinguished anime with a mundane plot and dull characters. It is severely limited by the conventions of its time and, to a lesser degree, the sparseness of its budget. The hero - Shun - is a regular enthusiastic young guy seen so often in the 80s, with a shrinking violet female friend, conventional parents, a sage-like grandfather and an earnest action-oriented rebel leader friend. The only notable character for the time is the villain - Alex the lunar governor - whose behaviour is so campy and ambiguous it feels as if he belongs in something made at least ten years later.
There are hints of Oshii's unique vision but it mostly lacks his otherworldly, contemplative moments that I love so much. Think of the Major wandering the canals in the first Ghost in the Shell movie, or the Detective Matsui's exploration of the deserted, crumbling streets in the first Patlabor movie. In Dallos you get glimpses in the portentous images of the head of Dallos and in the final scenes depicting Shun's trip by lunar hovercraft so his grandfather can get one last view of earth. The bitter irony as Shun stands among the tombstones with the earth above is pure Oshii but there's almost two hours of dross before you get there.
Lunar Governor Alex contemplating the rebellion (left) and Shun contemplating Earth (right).
Ranking: so-so
Mars of Destruction aka Hametsu No Mars
Reason for Watching: It's only twenty minutes long and it's rated as the second worst anime ever in ANN's bayesian rankings. If I'm going to watch crappy anime by choice I'd rather it not be 52 episodes of SD Gundam Force.
Synopsis: After a research ship burns up in the earth's atmosphere on re-entry after a trip to Mars, humanoid creatures start creating mayhem in Tokyo. A special force of teenagers in powersuits created specifically to combat the threat struggles to handle the escalating situation.
Now I haven't rated this as "worst ever" or even "awful". To earn those sorts of rankings a title must be outstandingly incompetent, incoherent or reprehensible. Yes, it is memorably incompetent: there is minimal animation of the action scenes; the direction is limp; the dialogue obvious, the sound effects execrable and pretty much every image and idea is ripped off from somewhere else. If you want to see something so bad it's funny then this has its moments but, for the most part, it's no worse than wooden. On the up side, it is only incoherent in patches and it's mostly harmless fun. The music is passable because you can't go too far wrong using exerpts from familiar classical pieces. I note that the director, producer and lead male seiyuu never worked in anime again after this 2005 turkey. Perhaps they died of shame?
Even the character designs look as if they're dying of shame.
Rating: bad, but it was worth watching if only to give thanks for what anime does do right.

I finished watching both seasons of Gunslinger Girls. I enjoyed the characterization, but I would have liked a more coherent plot, as opposed to a number of self contained episodes. The first season was definitely more polished but the second grew on me after a while.
I also enjoyed the music in both seasons. I thought the music in GSG2 sounded familiar, and was pleasantly surprised to find the ending in season 2 was composed by Jun Maeda and sung by Lia. I kept waiting for the girl with the strange speech patterns to show up, or maybe a magical girl, which made for a strane experience.

I started and finished 08th Mobile Suit Team with my friend yesterday in one sitting. It was a very satisfying watch because of all the "Mobile Suit realism" in it. The scenes delve into spoiler[how the machinery worked and demonstrated the difficulties of maintaining a Mobile Suit] -- these were some of the most wonderful scenes I've seen in any Gundam series and I really enjoyed this aspect of it. I was never a big U.C. fan but after watching Unicorn and sampling various other U.C. timeline series, 08th is definitely one of my favorite Gundam series. The action was great largely due to the show demonstrating the strategic attacks by the 08th team against their enemies. I really appreciate how the show focuses more on technical aspects rather than an "ace pilot defeats all enemies" theme. Overall, the show was extremely satisfying and I really loved it; it inspires me to delve into more of the U.C. timeline. I think I have the original Gundam series and movies, 0080 War, Zeta series, Stardust Memories, IGLOO, Victory, and the remaining Unicorn OVAs left on my list.
Before my watch of the 08th Mobile Suit Team, I had watched Gundam F91 with my friend. There's nothing much to say about the movie besides that it crammed too many things at once and it affected my understanding of the events going on. That was solved when I discussed various parts of the movie with my friend as we watched it. I enjoyed the movie but on a critical level it was a fast paced and rushed movie. If it had gotten a TV series treatment many things would had been fleshed out better and I would definitely enjoy it a lot more than I did.

MARANELLO, Italy, Nov. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ferrari board of directors met today under the chairmanship of Luca di Montezemolo to examine the company's financial results for the first nine months of 2012.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121107/NY08205 )
As of September 30th, Ferrari has recorded unprecedented revenues of 1,764 million euro (+10 per cent) and numbers of cars delivered to the dealership network 5,267 (+6 per cent).
Trading profits increased by 9.6 per cent to 232.8 million euro, while net profits grew 7.6 per cent to 152.4 million.
The company's industrial net cash position reached almost 1 billion euro - an all-time record figure of 959 million euro - despite continuing commitment to maintaining an extremely high level of investment in product development. Ferrari also chalked up a net cash flow of 251 million euro in the first nine months of the year.
The product mix was excellent with 12-cylinder model sales up 22 per cent thanks to the success of the FF and the 8-cylinder models, particularly the Ferrari California 30 and the 458 Spider. The racing GT2 and GT3 versions of the 458 Italia took the titles in their respective categories last weekend in the GT Open Championship after having already won the FIA World Endurance Championship beating competition from the world's leading manufacturers.
The USA confirmed its position as Ferrari's largest market internationally with 26 per cent of total sales after delivery of 1,354 cars with a growth of 16 per cent.
The UK market saw record sales of 504 cars, a leap of 37 per cent, while Germany saw continued growth (+9 per cent) with 534 cars delivered, consolidating its position as the largest European market.
In the Far East, the positive trend in Greater China continued (+7 per cent) with 566 cars delivered, while Japan saw deliveries of 214 cars, an increase of 20 per cent. Results from the Middle East were in line with the excellent figures obtained in 2011, with 274 cars delivered.
Sales in Italy, as in the previous two quarters, were down with 238 cars delivered in the first nine months of 2012 (-49 per cent).
"These results confirm Ferrari's excellent performance in practically all of the 60 nations in which it is present despite the continuing economic climate. Once again the exception is Italy where we have witnessed a drop partly due to the economic crisis, but also to a hostile environment for luxury goods which have long been, and continue to be, an important resource for the country," said Luca di Montezemolo who then announced the addition of a new Ferrari board member. "I am delighted that Eddy Cue, one of the main driving forces behind Apple's range of revolutionary products, has now joined our board. His huge experience in the dynamic, innovative world of the Internet will be of great assistance to us"
Eddy Cue is Apple's Senior Vice President Internet Software and Services and oversees Apple's industry-leading content stores including the iTunes Store, the revolutionary App Store and the iBookstore, as well as Siri, Maps, iAd and Apple's innovative iCloud services. He is a 23-year Apple veteran and played a major role in creating the Apple online store in 1998, the iTunes Music Store in 2003 and the App Store in 2008. He earned a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Economics at Duke University.
"I am pleased and proud to become a member of the board. I have personally dreamed of owning a Ferrari since I was 8 years old and have been lucky to be an owner for the past 5 years. I continue to be awed by the world-class design and engineering that only Ferrari can do," said Eddy Cue, commenting on his nomination to the board.
Ferrari's Brand-related activities (licensing retail and e-commerce) continue to grow. Revenues from the online store are up 32 per cent while those generated by licenses were up 20 per cent, with Puma proving particularly robust. Ferrari also recently signed an agreement with Mondo TV for the production and distribution of The Drakers, an original animated series for young viewers that is inspired by the world of Ferrari.
Visits to Ferrari.com were also up by 20 per cent, while Facebook has almost 10 millions fans and views on the Ferrari YouTube channel have exceeded 20 million.

I've tried high end (Lancome, Fiberwig, Bad Gal Lash) and some of the better drug store brands and I keep coming back to this. I am not a consultant but I can get this at a deep discount from my consultant since she is just a personal use consultant. My latest comparison was with Fiberwig which I put on one eye and the MK on the other eye and I swear I couldn't tell the difference between the two! I don't even want to like Mary Kay products, but it seems when I go back to them I'm always pleasantly surprised!
This "ultimate" mascara tends to smudge and be clumpy because everytime I pull the wand out, there's a LOT of product on it. Other than that I really like how volumizing it makes my lashes look. Probably will not repurchase though.
More reviews by tenderheart003
The mascara is great, it's the brush that sucks. It picks up way too much product so it's pretty easy to get clumps. I use disposable mascara wands and this gives me long, full and dark lashes. Doesn't smudge too badly over the course of the day and doesn't sting my eyes.
Clumpy for me. it was very volumizing but too clumpy.
Eh, it was okay. I was a HUGE fan of the Endless Performance mascara and have been scarred since they discontinued it. I loved how the curved brush physically separated my lashes and it didn't flake....at all. Some people didn't like it, but I loved how the stuff came off. In their development of the Ultimate mascara, Mary Kay didn't retain what I loved about their former product. It seem to go on more gloppy even though their goal was to apply the perfect amount on the first swipe. I had to really work to separate my lashes. I probably won't be buying again unless Sephora is not an option.
Love it! On my second tube, and still loving it. It ranks right up there with my fave Origins Lash Loving Mascara. The brush is the perfect size, easy to get to the corners of your eyes and the lower lash line without bumping a huge brush everywhere. The formula is creamy, not too thin, not too thick, and definitely not dry. Lasts without flaking or smearing. Also very lengthening and volumizing. I'll keep going back to this to repurchase.
This is the best mascara I've ever tried! And boy, am I picky about my mascara. This one is very easy to build up, so you can go from a natural look to a night-out look with the same product! Since I curl my eyelashes after applying mascara, I've had many mascaras flake like crazy, but this one (almost) doesn't! Another plus is that is stays on exceptionally well, without being waterproof. I can sleep in it and still not have racoon eyes in the morning! How nice is that?! Now I can stay over at my boyfriend's and not worry about looking like a freak in the morning. Hehe. However, because of its staying power, it can be a hassle to wash off without make-up remover. So keep that handy and you'll be good to go!
This stuff ROCKS! I've used Lancome and other pricey brands and this stuff by far exceeds the others. The price is average and the packaging - well who cares. The mascara instantly made my lashes nice and long and full. I truely think this is better than anything I've tried and I think I've tried them all! This will be my go to from now on.
I bought this mascara a couple times. I do like it. It did lenghen and volumize my lashes. They also would keep curled after I applied it after my lash curler which is a major plus for me. I wish it would however, not run so much when I cry. Wonder if they will make a waterproof one? But all in all. Very nice Mascara and I would purchase this again.
I was really surprised by this mary kay mascara...
like mary kay is not bad..but i didn't think their mascara could be that good. BUt it is!
It makes me short spare asian eyelashes turn into long long ones! WITHOUT a primer...
i tried it with Bourjois Mascara primer and it didn't make a difference...it was actually less long with it. (but maybe mine is running out?)
i ended up buying the MK ultimate mascara...even tho i was looking forward to buying something from sephora. (the stuff i tried at sephora just didn't work as well)

Btrfs To Go Production-Ready In Oracle Linux
Published on 26 January 2012 07:58 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
Linux Kernel
8 Comments
Btrfs, the quite promising next-generation Linux file-system that's been in-development for years by Chris Mason and others, is about to take on a big role within Oracle's Enterprise Linux distribution.
During his talk last week at
the SCALE 10x LA event
, Chris Mason of Oracle did mention that
an error-fixing Btrfs fsck tool will be ready by next month
. He mentioned a hard deadline of 14 February for this btrfs.fsck tool capable of fixing file-system errors because it must be ready for the next releases of Oracle Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise. Chris confirmed that Oracle will be supporting Btrfs in their Linux distribution, which is derived from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux code-base.
When going through the talks from Linux.Conf.Au 2012, Avi Miller talked about the Btrfs file-system while Chris Mason was in Los Angeles. Avi Miller is a program manager at Oracle in Melbourne, Australia that handles release management of Oracle Linux and the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel.
Besides parading the usual Btrfs features (copy-on-write snapshots, transparent compression, RAID support, SSD optimizations, etc) he also talks about the use of Btrfs within Oracle Linux. Besides repeating what Mason said back in the US, he does give a bit more detail. The next release of Oracle Linux (presumably it's the one being released next month) will provide installation support for Btrfs as the root file-system. This Btrfs root file-system support will be an official option in Oracle's RHEL-based Anaconda installer. However, this first release of 2012 won't make Btrfs as the default over the current EXT4.
With Btrfs becoming an official install-time option for the root file-system, obviously for proper support they need to have a proper btrfs.fsck utility ready in time to ship. Avi Miller also talked of "Btrfs is THAT fast all the time!", etc. Though
an XFS developer was taking shots at Btrfs and EXT4
during Linux.Conf.Au 2012 as well.
When talking about the Btrfs support within Oracle Linux, it was usually mentioned with the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel. The Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is a version of the Linux kernel that they have optimized for Oracle software and hardware to be "a fast, modern, reliable kernel." In some performance tests they claim their customized kernel is 75% faster (or as much as 137% when it comes to SSD access) than the normal Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel, which is still available as an option anyways in the Oracle Linux world. They also advertise their version of the Linux kernel having greater power management, more fine-grained CPU and memory resource control, and greater reliability. (More details for those unfamiliar with this kernel flavor from
the Oracle web-site
Presumably Oracle is going to be shipping some back-ported Btrfs file-system patches within the next Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel release or some other changes to give it a competitive advantage over its stock RHEL-compatible Linux kernel, based upon the comments made by Miller with specifically mentioning this kernel flavor.
Oracle last year also expressed their intent to
bring DTrace support to their Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel
. It's not known whether this next Oracle Linux update will include the kernel and user-space support for DTrace, which was one of the key features of Solaris now being spread across Oracle products. But it looks like Oracle is going to further differentiate Oracle Linux from Red Hat Enterprise Linux and the other derivatives like CentOS and Scientific Linux.
Other distributions shipping with alternate install-time support for Btrfs on the root file-system include Fedora, Ubuntu, and openSUSE. The only major distribution shipping with Btrfs by default is/was Moblin, but it's expected that soon Fedora will switch to it as a default on new installations over EXT4. It's not clear whether this switch will still happen for Fedora 17 even with the availability of the btrfs-fsck utility, since there's still some blocking bugs, or if it will be postponed until Fedora 18 or Fedora 19.
Below is the Btrfs video from Linux.Conf.Au 2012. Stay tuned for more information about the upcoming Oracle Linux release and the greater role that Btrfs is about to play within the enterprise Linux world.

They came out the same day I called. They explained everything to me. They made the repair. The sink drains well and the new stopper looks great! I have always had good work performed by this company. Very professional.
I called was emitting only a trickle of water. Some of these problems were related, some not.
I called started to back up again. He came out again and looked at the line again, but did not see anything. He told my husband to call the city and see if it was their problem. I had to call another plumber to come out to tell me I had a pipe running thru my sewer line and that's where it keeps backing up. I do have to call the city now, but at least I now know why. I also found out, from the city, you should
in a heartbeat!!
The technician does not seem to have a good knowledge of what is going on. Check all the circuits, and claimed that the wiring does not seems right to him. He even suspected DTE issue.
By several failed trials, finally he found that it is the low pressure switch that prohibits the AC to work normally by calling for help, and he adds some refrigerant. It has been almost 4 hours. He did NOT perform a leak check, and charged high diagnostic fee and refrigerant recharging fee.
I hope he did not mess up the circuits.
In all, it is not a good experience, and I would very hesitate to use them again .

Our home is 7 years old and so all the plumbing is the same age. When in quality of what he installed compared to the builder grade materials originally used. In addition, by doing more work at the same time the 2d and 3d repairs were discounted.
Fantastic experience from start to finish. The units were getting old and I didn't want to wait until something failed. replacing a couple of toilets, but you're always a little nervous about the really large appliances. He listened to my concerns that we were not getting air from the AC or furnace up to our second floor, and came up with solutions that really work for our large house. The schedule was well coordinated and they were very neat -- something I appreciate greatly. And,
Things went very well! I initially spoke with did a "botch job" despite the fact that they had come out a second time to correct the mess they left me with the first time. Not only did that company do a poor job, they overcharged me considerably. After my first meeting with
The people setting up the appointment explained everything very well and made me aware of all pricing except for the actual service, which was determined by the plumber. He showed up, clean and with all tools needed. It didn't take long, but he did have to cut into the condensation lines to reach the clog. After clearing it, he repaired the lines.
This was at 6pm on Friday of the Labor Day weekend. I was happy to have someone come so quick. All others I contacted could not get to me until the Tues after the holiday.

My complaint was water hammering. Tech arrived on time after I explained the problem and told him about the noise the toilet was making he discovered the flapper was leaking in the toilet. He changed the flapper and a week later I can say that it appears the problem is fixed. He was at the house for a total of 30 minutes...I get it - he figured out the problem and replaced a 5.00 part...but really $205.00 for 30 minutes - I guess that goes back to the saying 5.00 for the part and 200.00 for knowing what part to change?

her 18 year old son fed me pieces of a french roll like a pigeon, as I lay on the floor of the bathroom crying.
He had a joint rolled for us when he picked me up. It's how ASU does romance
We were walking up the stairs and I asked Dominick what floor the party was on. The cop who had just tried breaking it up was walking down the stairs, drinking a slurpee, and answered, "Third floor."
Hot freshmen.....hot freshmen chicks everywhere
Thanks for the viagra you gave me last night. I ended up getting called in to work to cover a shift. So I had to tell Kayla that I couldn't hang out and I had to try and hide my dick all night while walking serving people food all night.
I miss my brother. He would have fucked the fat girl for me.
In complete seriousness I think I am the highest person on earth
It's my 3rd annual 21st birthday party. Disney themed. There will be blood.
Sometimes you get drunk and fall out of a car. I never said it was glamorous.
I wonder what chicks would think if they learned that when we add them on fb we email their bikini pics to each other.
She wouldn't put out on the first date. I think my boner put a hole in my mattress.
Yeah thats cool. We can play the alphabet game while doing bumps of coke in the back of his volswagon
library dates and plan B? He is looking like a great catch.
Well, on the plus side, the hospital gave me a shirt that says "Makes a bad ass look good"
I cannot start working out. If I start to look better, I'll ruin ugly women's chances forever. So, really...I'm doing them a favor...think about it.

@Gajanan: Thank you very much. I will, its an honor. (Report) Reply
Ala' Elouri
Dear You
You come on my mind sometimes,
Why lie,
I mean most of the time.
I remember how we used to be in love and how I planned my future dreams with you.
I remember how much a phone call would cost you,
I remember how hard for me you tried,:
And how hard you tried to Please,
And how ridiciously you did cheat,
I remember your hazel eyes
And the smell of your musk on Your skin,
Yes I do.
I left you without a goodbye
Or a reply
I'm sorry
I had to do what I did,
I had gave you so many chances,
And begged you so many times
And you never heard my voice
I cried and you continued in life, as if you didn't see my tears.
I was starting to fade,
Forgive me
I did the same
I fell for someone else
Pretty suprising?
I gave my soul to this person
He promised that we would have every year a new anniversry,
He promised he wouldn't leave
He let me follow his cultures and dreams,
He introduced me to a mother full of dreams,
He showed me things
You never gave me.
Well I can admit,
he makes me cry sometimes
But atleast he wouldn't hang over on me,
Atleast he never tried to betray me
Atleast he still loves me.
But you were a different story.
You hurt me so badly,
I was willing to forget
Yet you took the oppurtunty for granted.
You thought I would wait
Tell me does love wait?
Don't blame me,
I can't confront you
I can't tell you go away
I'm with someone else
Someone not you
Not your age.
I can't
I can't watch the anger rush through your veins,
You still mean something to me
Don't ask
I don't know what you are to me actually
But all I wanted you to know
Is don't worry I'm okay,
I'm nailing to stay with this person as long as my soul gives me breath to breathe.
I'm sorry
Forgive me.
Yet be thankful, even all you put me through, he is nothing like you.
I didn't find someone like you.
Yet I found someone who knows how to treat his lover better than you.
Forgive me, you still remain in my thoughts, my speech.
Although, hard to be true
It will never be Me and You

Walking in the Peak District. The heather is in bloom, we stumbled on a house with a few old Citroen 2CVs and there were plenty of ripe blackberries and winberries to snack on snacking.
No more racks
After 3 changes of route my first attempt at solo bikepacking didn't really go to plan (seem to be developing bad habit of this with my rides at the moment…). At the last minute, I opted to go ride the Pennine Bridleway North-to-South instead of the Lakeland 200. The main reason was ease of navigation, having the guidebook with info about stops/food etc. and avoiding the Great North Swim crowd around Windermere.
Packed up, hopped on the train to Leeds and then on to Kirkby Stephen. On the second leg of my journey I met an older guy heading towards Skiddaw for long weekend touring and exploring, he had a lot of interesting cycle and outdoor stories, taking a tandem across the Alps, pedalling a rickshaw out of the riots in Genoa and all the way back to Leeds… It turns out he also knew the train route pretty well and was able to point out where we were and assorted local knowledge about the towns, villages, quarrying, landscape, rivers, peaks, valleys and pubs you could see along the way!
Part way through the great stories and interesting conversations, I realised about I'd forgotten my lunch and only had a couple of Clif bars and a pack of Shot Bloks. Never mind I thought, I have some notes from the guidebook covering the first half of the route with places to eat/which stretches would be quite desolate, I'll just dig these out when I get off the train and see how far the first pub is… Arriving at Kirkby Stephen about 12, I realised I'd forgotten these too (doh!).
Rather than head down to the actual town (mistake!!), I set off anyway with a vague recollection there was a pub about 20km or so in and I'd get a late lunch there.
Upon joining the trail, the hills started pretty much straight away, having forgotten to let some air out of my tyres the first gravel-climbs were hard and resulted in a lot of pushing, followed by a steep, slippy, grass descent. With tyres at 60something PSI and 'dry condition' treads this was absolutely terrifying and I spent a good 15 minutes waiting for my heart rate to come down and the adrenaline to wear off at the bottom, making sure the tyres were several PSI lower than when I started. After griding up the other side of the valley I reached a one of the standard photo spots, the stone carving above. At this point it'd taken 2 hours to ride 15km…
From here on the elevation eased off a bit but the trails were still mixed and nearly 3 hot, muggy and midge-bitten hours after getting off the train I arrived at the pub only to find they'd had to stop food for a few hours and had a £10 minimum card spend. Rummaging for change I managed to acquire 2 bags of nuts and a Coke, I refilled bottles and set off again.
After this the trails got a bit faster, but signs of civilisation rapidly decreased. Plugged the iPod in and had Queen's Greatest Hits blasting in my ears to help me up the climbs (note to self: do not double-hand air-guitar off road again…) I saw only one or two humans along the way. Somewhere in sight of Ingleborough I bumped into a spiky friend (pictured) sat in the middle of the path. Shortly after this I joined the Pennine Way and headed down to another popular photo spot, the Far Moor Bridge (pictured).
At this point I was feeling pretty bummed out, tired and the spitting rain had me doubting if I had the energy to push on. I reached the road just above Horton on Ribblesdale and decided it was time to abandon the ride. I coasted down to to Settle as I had time between the trains and there'd be more chance of getting some food, skipped a huge queue for the chippy and ended up with a vending machine dinner of Dairy Milk and Doritos instead. Several hours of delayed trains later I arrived back in Manchester tired and bummed out, but thankfully in one piece.
Spent the rest of the weekend off the bike and back at my parents, including being attacked by more midges walking along Froggatt Edge on Sunday. On reflection, maybe my plans were overambitious, not necessarily from the physical side but being mentally up to riding alone, off-road for 330km… Maybe it's time to find some more riding buddies, or just get used to ignoring my stupid brain when it's telling me to give up and go home.
Kit list v1
Next time I'll lose the guide book and take a few photocopied pages, insulated jacket will be swapped for a vest and the spare base layer will be dropped.
First aid pouch needs some work (extra bits inside not pictured). The headband light strap thing wasn't used either.
A small notebook and pen would have been a good idea.

This recipe was the 4th Diabetic Muffin recipe that I tried and these are the best of all and are delicious. Using Tupperware's Chop and Prep to chop and mix the topping together works great.

Mitt Romney demonstrated extraordinary reach across the Republican coalition in a sweeping New Hampshire victory Tuesday night that has left his rivals facing a potentially do-or-die stand in South Carolina a week from Saturday.
Romney dominated not only the groups that favored him in Iowa last week, but also several of those that had resisted him there -- particularly voters who identified as either evangelical Christians or strong tea party supporters, according to the exit polls reported on CNN.com.

To keep Ms. Mixson busy, staff convinced her to become a foster mom to five baby kittens brought into the shelter without a mother and just a few days old.
Ann reports that these kittens are as strong as any she's ever known, they took instantly to the bottle and they are currently eating her out of house and home.
Volunteers often make the difference between life and death by giving of their time, talent and love. IAS staff salutes Ann Mixson and all the volunteers here at IAS for making a difference, every day.

Fire at a Detroit-Area Chemical Plant Results in Hundreds of Homes Evacuated
Four-year-old Shade Courtney and his 2-year-old sister Sierra had just gone to bed Tuesday night when their mother woke them up and told them they had to leave their home.
The fire caused eight metal tanks containing acetone, a chemical used to clean machinery, to melt to half their original size. Kirby had said the fire was expected to burn out Wednesday morning; fire officials Wednesday morning had no updated estimate.
He urged residents within a half-mile radius to evacuate and said it would be a good idea for people within a mile radius to do so as well.
Hazardous materials officials had tested the air quality and found no danger present, Kirby said. But workers from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency were on their way to conduct more tests.
Wayne Mayor Al Haidous declared a state of emergency at about 10:10 p.m. He said winds were blowing the fumes and smoke from the plant northeast into his city.
The area included in the evacuation included about 1,000 homes in Wayne and another 150 in Romulus, but it was unclear how many people chose to leave, officials said.
Romulus is located about 25 miles southwest of Detroit and is home to Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Mike Conway, a spokesman for the airport, said Wednesday morning that flights weren't affected by the fire.
