Allegheny Technologies,
Richard Harshman,
Rowley plant,
titanium sponge,
titanium scrap,
Frank Haflich
LOS ANGELES Allegheny Technologies Inc. (ATI) is paying the price for running its Rowley, Utah, titanium sponge plant at a higher rate than might be expected during a period of low-priced scrap.
Operating earnings by ATIs High Performance Metals segment were reduced in part "by our strategic decision to use ATI-produced titanium sponge rather than titanium scrap" to make certain products, chairman, president and chief executive officer Richard J. Harshman said during the companys third-quarter earnings conference call.
Harshman said that Rowley has begun the qualification process to produce premium-quality sponge, which is used in rotating parts for aircraft engines, a critical milestone for a sponge plant.
"Until the completion of the (premium quality) process, we will continue to assess the optimal production rates at Rowley based on market demand for standard-quality titanium products," Harshman said. ATI expects "full" premium-quality qualification for Rowleys process within 18 to 24 months.
Rowley, the newest U.S. greenfield titanium sponge operation, has an annual capacity of 24 million pounds. ATI said earlier this year that the Utah facility was operating at about 60 percent of its annual capacity, but no rate has been mentioned since (amm.com, May 1).
Explaining ATIs use of sponge instead of "lower-cost titanium scrap," an ATI spokesman said there had been an "abnormal" decoupling of the normal relationship between prices of the two raw materials. "This disconnect between the price of sponge and the price of scrap is always temporary," he said, stressing the importance of ATI producing the highest-quality sponge as aircraft build rates move up. "We need to go forward with (premium-quality) qualification to be ready for the big ramp, particularly on engines."
Rowley, which started up in late 2009, became qualified for standard aerospace-quality sponge last year (amm.com, March 14, 2012).
Although furnace mix can vary greatly depending on the economics of the competing raw materials, the specific melting process used and the particular titanium alloy being produced, a general rule of thumb in the industry is that it can swing 70-to-30 sponge-to-scrapor the reversebased on the competitive economics of each material.
The decoupling of scrap and sponge prices first became evident about two years ago, when sponge prices from Japanese producers, pressured by escalating costs of rutile feedstock, began shooting up (amm.com, Oct. 4, 2011) while scrap tags were declining from midyear highs. Although market sources note that this rise in sponge tags has since stalled, and may even be reversing, scrap has continued eroding to the point where theres general agreement that the economics for melters today are squarely on the side of scrap.
Ironically, some titanium sources said, had ATI not chosen to continue running Rowley at its current rate and had increased its scrap purchases instead, it might have helped push scrap prices up and left the sponge-scrap relationship more in balance.

Staff Photo by Tim Barber/Chattanooga Times Free Press Lillian Disla models a red gown inspired by Oscar fashions.
Red gowns ruled the red carpet.
Celebrities Jennifer Lawrence, Penelope Cruz and Sandra Bullock were among the glamour girls turning heads in brilliant reds at the 83rd Academy Awards last month at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.
The awards show is historically one of the most influential trendsetting events of the year, said Emily Goodin, owner of Boutique Couture, a bridal and special-occasion shop in downtown Chattanooga.
"Designers use big events, especially the Oscars, to introduce new trends," she said. "I certainly take note of fresh ideas on the red carpet so I can keep those in mind when I buy for the next season. There were so many gorgeous looks."
Goodin said red topped her list of favorites when she tuned in to see what the celebrities were wearing. One wow moment for Goodin was the "extremely simple, yet stunning" red gown worn by Lawrence, a Best Actress nominee for "Winter's Bone."
Cruz wore a sequined L'Wren Scott, and Bullock's was a corseted Vera Wang.
Three other show-stopping colors boasted simple designs with minimal embellishment, Goodin said. Gwyneth Paltrow shone in a silver, liquid-like metallic gown by Calvin Klein. Host Anne Hathaway looked stunning in a royal blue design by Giorgio Armani Prive during one of her eight costume changes. Jennifer Hudson glowed in a bright coral gown by Atelier Versace.
The "detail" of these gowns was the fit, Goodin said.
"It's all about how that person looks in the gown," she said. "Although I am a sucker for an intricate design, I loved that simple gowns allowed the person's overall look to really shine — from hair and makeup to jewelry and shoes. No one seemed overdone."
The simplistic and sleek look will carry over to men's fashions as well, said Martin Nobles, manager of Belk at Northgate Mall.
"We're bringing back the fitted shirt and suit separates with flat-front pants and a fitted sportcoat," he said. "[The look is] simple and clean."
Nobles wasn't surprised by the influence of red for women's fashions.
"We did a big color splash of red back in the fall, and it's obviously a natural color after the holidays. But I've noticed how it has carried over through the first of the year," he said.
Goodin said designers will be putting their own spin on these Oscar inspirations.
"We should see examples of these hit the stores this fall and next spring. Chattanooga will see all of the trends. It's just a matter of who embraces them and decides to take a chance to make a statement."

text: Kirk leads suspended McGladrey Classic Share This: AFP 11/9/2013 12:40:50 AM Chris Kirk fired a second-round 66 to seize a one-shot lead in the US PGA Tour McGladrey Classic, where darkness halted play Friday for a second straight day.Kirk's eight-under par total of 132 put him one ahead of 2012 US Open champion Webb Simpson, fellow Americans Briny Baird and Kevin Chappell and Australian John Senden.Kirk played in the worst of the windy conditions but managed to nab five birdies on the back nine, which included a 40-foot putt from off the green at the 11th -- his second hole of the day -- and a chip-in from 60-feet at 14.Senden's day was highlighted by an eagle at the par-five 15th, and he finished the final hole of his second-round 67 in near darkness to join the group on 133. Play was then halted.Chappell had an eagle and four birdies to offset two bogeys and a double-bogey at the par-three third in his two-under 68.Baird, meanwhile, had four birdies and four bogeys in his even par 70, while Simpson kept mistakes to a minimum despite the blustery conditions, scoring just one bogey along with three birdies in his 68.The tournament fell behind schedule on Thursday, with a two-hour fog delay in the morning.George McNeill returned Friday morning to finish a first-round 62 that gave him the lead, but he ballooned to a 76 in a second round that included a run of five straight bogeys.His was not the only score that soared, and Chappell counted himself lucky to get his two-under effort in early."You hit some not-so-perfect shots and get some bad breaks with the wind gusting and you get exposed really quickly," Chappell said. "I was fortunate to come to that realization that there's some luck involved today and that maybe for a period of time I was one of the luckier guys out here."Simpson, whose victory in October in Las Vegas was his first win since his major breakthrough at Olympic Club in 2012, was also more than pleased to find himself under par after such a trying day."Before I played, I would take anything under par," he said. "The game plan before the round was to know club selection so you don't get to a hole and you're shocked and you don't know what to do."

I really hesitated at this purchase, not because of the price but more worry about the color wouldn't go with the huge desk at our office. It turned out looking beautiful once we assembled it. It was pretty easy to put together and looks just like the picture as described.
Great looking, can be moved around and looks great. I use it as a towel rack in my master bath.
Color was way off (orange) - so returned the unit. I ordered it to go with the 5 tier ladder bookcases (also mahogany) but the colors were way off. The 5 tier ladder bookcases in mahogany really look cherry. Tough to order online, must really see stuff like this in person.
Great little desk, easy to put together, my kids love them!

Decadent PB-Choco Balls (can be RAW!)
What you need:
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 cup vegan brown sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
What you do:
In a double boiler, heat all ingredients except flour until smooth, stirring very frequently.
If making these RAW, your blender will do the trick to blend the mixture, but you can also use a double boiler -- just ensure the water stays at a soft simmer and use a thermometer to ensure it doesn't get too hot. (you'll need it to be a bit warmer than room temp to make the mixture stay together well)
Remove from heat. Add whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup at a time, stirring until smooth. Roll teaspoonfuls between your hands to form balls. Refrigerate.

Wisconsin Rapids, WI- One night after the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters (19-16) labored to record a base-hit through six innings against the Green Bay Bullfrogs (16-19), Jackson Slaid and Charlie Curl led the way to pace a 14 hit attack to lead the Rafters to a commanding win 12-2, Wednesday evening at Witter Field. The victory concluded the first of the season for the Rafters and gave them a 3-1 mark against the Bullfrogs. The two teams still have four contests remaining against each other in the seasons final 35 ballgames.
Slaid led the way by blasting his eighth and ninth home runs of the season, while collecting five RBI throughout his four at-bats. Slaid's third hit of the evening was a double to the right field corner. The three hits and five RBI for the Montevallo prospect was a season high and topped a previous four RBI performance against the Lakeshore Chinooks on June 8.
The offense struck early as Jonathan Moroney reached on a two-out single and Slaid followed with his first home run of the evening to give the Rafters the lead, 2-0. The Rafters added another run after Robbie Coman reached on a walk and Jeremy Montalbano brought the run around on an RBI base knock to centerfield, his ninth of the season. The Rafters led 3-0 after the conclusion of the first inning and never looked back.
Slaid kick-started the Rafters fifth inning when the junior roped his second hit of the evening for his fourth double of the season to right field. Coman reached on an error to score Slaid from second base, making the score, 4-1. The Rafters would add their fifth and sixth runs on a home run by Jeremy Montalbano, his third of the season to bust the game wide open.
The Rafters would six more runs the rest of the way as Curl added three base hits and scored a run. All nine members of the Rafters offensive line-up found a way to reach base while eight of the nine added base hits and scored at least one run. The 10-run victory for the Rafters was the largest of the season for a squad that has played in 10 one-run decisions this season.
Brandon Schmidt, making his first start in replace of Justin Peters, threw five strong innings while issuing just six base hits one run. The lone run scored by the Bullfrogs off the Central Arkansas righty was a home run to deep centerfield off the bat of Nick Torres.
Once Schmidt left; the Rafters used a duo of talented bullpen arms to close the game out over the course of the games final four innings. Derek Kawelski and Nick Kolarik each threw two innings a piece, while allowing just one run in the four combined innings of work while striking out six batters.
The 14 runs scored against the Bullfrogs was a season high for a Rafters offensive attack that is looking to build off a strong first half performace to make a run at a second half championship.
The Rafters will open up the second half with a short home-and-home series against the La Crosse Loggers on Thursday afternoon at Witter Field. The Rafters a 4-3 this season against the Loggers, including taking two-of-three against the defending Northwood League champions June 29-July 1. First pitch is scheduled for 3:05 p.m. Fans can listen to tomorrow's broadcasting by tuning into the home of the Rafters, WFHR AM 1320.

UK, 2005 (MIFF 2006, International Panorama)
Director: Neil Marshall
"The most significant Brit chiller since 28 Days Later. 5 stars." - Empire, UK.
Pitched by its director as "Deliverance goes underground", The Descent is the much-anticipated second feature from Neil Marshall who was attributed with sparking a resurgence in British horror with his exciting debut Dog Soldiers. It takes us on a chilling and thrilling spelunking adventure with a team of adrenaline-seeking women. Upon being trapped deep within an otherworldly cave, they face not only their own fears but a colony of flesh-eating sub-humans.
Starring Aussie Natalie Mendoza as the most gung-ho of the ensemble cast, the claustrophobia of The Descent will get you even before the screams begin and the bones start snapping. Marshall tests his own directing chops by setting the majority of the action in the dark by hard-hat spotlighting so it's a must-see on the big screen to appreciate the horror in all its gloomy glory.
D/S Neil Marshall P Christian Colson WS Pathe TD 35mm/2005/99mins
Neil Marshall was born in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, in 1970. His films include Dog Soldiers (2002).

Offer: Rockefeller Foundation Centennial Innovation Challenge (Deadline: 1 April 2013)
How would you transform livelihoods in the informal economy?
In celebration of their centennial, The Rockefeller Foundation is calling on your ingenuity to chart new paths, paths that will transform the lives of billions working in informal economies across the globe.
It is often out of necessity that 1.8 billion people find their livelihoods in the informal economy - the business enterprises and jobs that exist partially or outside of government regulation. People may benefit from working in the informal economy, in both urban and rural settings. However, many poor or vulnerable individuals working in the informal economy face multiple challenges that can stunt their economic mobility and the overall well-being of their families. The challenges can range from limited opportunity to increase one's income to job insecurity to poor market information. At the same time, the poor or vulnerable are often excluded from the resources that could improve the quality of their jobs, and, therefore, their lives.
Submit your idea by April 1, 2013. As many as 10 of the Finalists will be invited to apply for a grant of up to US $100,000 each and win support in proposal writing to enable the further development of submitted ideas.
Together, we can solve the world's most urgent problems — today, and for the next 100 years.

Jfood tries Ngon Bistro - Very Good
- jfood Jun 9, 2009 07:22 PM
Jfood took the advice of many and Soupkitten and The Dairy Queen in particular and wandered up to SP again for dinner at Ngon Bistro. From the outside this restaurant looks like any other corner storefront. but on the inside it is tastefully decorated in warm natural colors with numerous paintings on the walls. On a Tuesday night at 730 the place was bustling with after work groups of women, yes women, 85% of the diners were female. No commentary needed, Jfood just stating a fact. There were a couple of small tables available and the bar was empty so Jfood decided to take his book to a table.
For an appetizer Jfood decided, with some coaching, to try the Duck Confit that was Wild Acres duck with coconut curry sauce, cilantro & scallions, with toasted baguette and for an entrée, although he really wanted the duck (two ducks would have been much), he decided on the Thousand Hills Short Ribs braised in five spice with grape tomatoes, brussel sprouts & fingerling potatoes in a pork belly broth reduction.
The appetizer was a small mound of the ingredients and with one bite, Jfood was in heaven. The flavors jumped off the chop sticks. What is interesting as well is that the chef decided to add shitake mushrooms as well. This added some nice earthy flavors to an outstanding dish.
The server brought over a knife and fork and Jfood was a little confused, but then he thought maybe the short rib would come in a large piece. Nope. When the dish arrived it looked great. He first tasted the potato, very good, next a bite of a brussel sprout, it had an interesting flavor that Jfood finally figured was horseradish. Next he tried the meat with a tomato. They were also very good. Jfood thought the dish was very good, but not great.
Jfood was looking forward to the cheesecake he had heard about and when the server told him the special of the evening was chocolate chip cheesecake, he was excited. Jfood, always careful with desserts, asked if there were nuts. Unfortunately there were, so Jfood needed to move onto Plan B. He chose the Ginger Brulee. The texture was more eggy than creamy. This was pretty good, but not great.
Overall Jfood was really pleased with this quick trip up and back and he thanks the Ch'ers who suggested and in particular Soupkitten and Dairy Queen.
Hey, I'm relieved you had a better dinner than last night! I'm sorry the cheesecake didn't work out for you, but, maybe on your next visit they'll have a version without nuts. I'm glad you tried the duck confit--that's one of my favs! The ginger creme brulee is one of my favs, too, though I can see why you thought the texture was too eggy. I actually like it that way, but I hadn't really thought (until now) that the texture might not be universally appealing, especially if you were expecting something more delicate. So, sorry to have steered you a little off-course there.
I'm telling you, you could make a meal just of their apps.
If you still want beef pho, you could head up the road a little ways to Saigon (also on University Ave, nearish to Dale) on your next visit. Completely different experience than Ngon Bistro, but still great food. You might have to bring cash, though, as they continue to struggle getting their credit card machine to work.
re: The Dairy Queen
Not to worry on the creme, and jfood almost ordered another appetizer instead of dessert when he heard there was nuts in the crust.
Next time jfood needs to avoid 35W southbound though...5 lanes into 1 is not a good post dinner event.
Ah, Ngon. The #30, Bún Thịt Nướng, is currently one of my favorite dishes in the cities. Of course, you can rarely go wrong with Fischer Farms pork!
Oh, darn - sorry, Jfood! I took the afternoon off from my computer yesterday, or else I would have weighed in with my cautionary two cents: I think the short ribs are good but not great.
Last time I was there, I had the short ribs and wasn't wowed. They're nice and all - good quality meat - but there wasn't much else going on. On the other hand, my husband's Elk Medallions were amazing (and best, the anise cream wasn't too anise-y for the spice-averse Mr. Tastebud).
I'm glad you had the confit - it's one of the Ten Best Appetizers in the Twin Cities, as far as I'm concerned.
P.S. Plunging into our construction-clogged rush-hour traffic in search of good chow is very, very brave. I'm impressed with your bravery and valor!
re: AnneInMpls
Guy at the office told jfood that MSP has two seasons, winter and construction.
After walking into a closed Bangkok Thai Deli and staring at the dark interior of Strip Club, jfood returned to Ngon, and remembering some of the sage advice on this thread.
He ordered the Phở Đặc Biệt (Thập Cẩm) Rice noodle with Thousand Hills 100% grass fed beef brisket, lean beef, homemade beef ball, & flank plus the Wild Acres Farms Duck Breast Wild Acres duck breast with a sweet potatoe puree, spicy brussel sprouts, pork belly, & shiitake mushroom curry sauce.
The Pho was outstanding. The first thing jfood did was to swirl the basil from the extra =plate through the broth. This gave a beautiful basil background to the deep rich stock. The beef was tender and delicious. A great Pho.
The duck arrived as jfood received a call that he needed to get on a conference call in 30 minutes. Oh crap. He had to race through the dish and then bolt. The duck had a nice pepper crust, but was a tad overcooked (the server approach jfood earlier and asked if he wanted medium rare - yes), the sweet potato puree was about as good as it gets and then when you added the crunch of the pork belly it was heaven. Jfood was not thrilled with the brussel sprouts. The new tendency is to serve brussel sprouts almost raw and jfood likes his more cooked.
Overall this was a great meal.
Thanks again MSP Hounds.
I love Ngon. It is a must do
every time I am in MSP. I went
there last week and had the rabbit
appetizer and bbq pork salad. My
friend had the duck Pho. The only
downside. No soup is served on the
patio. The waitress said they were
working out those details and should
have it resolved shortly.
Inspired by jfood's review, I revisited Ngon for an early dinner on Saturday. We sat on the patio, which is pretty charming, especially in great weather like we had. It's also much quieter than I expected on busy University.
My pal and I ordered the duck confit app first. I remember this dish being transcendent on past visits, but this time it was disappointing. A lot of the duck was rubberry and it was all cooler than I would have liked it (perhaps this is due to it being served in a mound on the plate next to bread, instead of in a little bowl like I remember). The flavor was less complex than I recall, too - a little heavy on the curry, light on the cilantro, etc. And the sauce, which I remember being nice and juicy before, seemed like it had been thickened - it was a little on the gummy side, not in a good way.
I ordered the Com Tam Bi Suon Trung (broken rice with pork loin, shredded BBQ pork, pork skin, and fried egg). It was just OK. I know the broken rice dishes tend to have relatively soft and congealed rice, but even considering that, this rice was over-soft and mushy. The pork loin was nice and tender, and the flavor was OK but a little one dimensionally sweet. The shredded BBQ pork (and maybe the skin was mixed in there because I didn't see it elsewhere) had an offputting taste to it - I can't describe it exactly, maybe "livery"? The fried egg was cooked more than I'd like,so there wasn't enough gooey egg yolk to flow out onto the rice. The veggies (tomato, cucumber, and pickled carrot and daikon) were great quality for this time of year. All in all, it was "ok" but I wouldn't order it again. I order this dish at Saigon frequently and, in my book, Saigon's version is far superior - one of my favorite budget-friendly meals in St. Paul.
My pal didn't comment on her dish so I don't have anythign to post about it.
re: diesel
Wife and I went last night. The patio is lovely, and the service was good, but I was disappointed by the food. They were out of several of the small plates, and I wonder if they were short on ingredients, since they are taking the weekend off.
I had the pork belly, which was quite good. Crisp and tender, and gently spiced. It was accompanied by something not described on the menu, but was something like a potato salad. It lacked flavor and didn't add much to the experience.
I had the chicken pate, which was a misfire. Served on crispy slices of baguette, the pate was adorned with carrots and daikon. The flavors were incompatible, it seemed, and I couldn't taste any of the promised anise.
The real disappointment was the duck confit. I had heard so much about the complexity of flavors, but all I could taste was curry. Like diesel, I found the duck to be rubbery and too cool. I also ran into a few bones, which is usually just bad luck, but didn't add to the experience any.
Wife's veggie egg rolls were competent, but pedestrian. The highlight was her chicken bun (vermicelli salad). It seems to be that Ngon is at its best letting the quality meats shine.
Maybe I'm being too picky, but there are some great Vietnamese places in the area, who put together some really electric dishes. This fell short of that, in my view.
re: kevin47
Have to agree with you kevin47. Went there last night with my family. Was somewhat disappointed with service and food. Had heard good reviews, so were looking forward to dining at Ngon. Our service was mediocre. Our waitress appeared to have a flat affect and just didn't seem too excited to be working.
We started with the sweet potato and shrimp croquettes, which were very good.
I had the fish (striped bass) special with couscous and vegetables. It was bland. For $20 I was expecting something a bit more appealing in flavor.
Brother in law had the scallops, which were ok, but again, served with mushy couscous and a small amount of vegetables..
Husband had the #41(Con Tam Bi-broken rice with pork loin, shredded bbq pork, pork skin, and fried egg), which in all of our opinions was by far the best entree. For $8.95, it was well worth the price.
We all ordered local MN beers, which were very tasty and always nice to see on a local retaurant's menu.
Have been to Jasmine 26 and found their food to be much better (and closer to home), so don't think we will be making another trip to Ngon again anytime soon. If we do go again, guess we will stick to more traditional Vietnamese food versus bistro/french entrees.

In the above TV commercial, seen during the early days of Tata Nano, claims made were (1) 21% more space, (2) ease of driving and manœuvrability, (3) SUV like high ground clearance, (4) excellent air-conditioning, (5) best petrol mileage in India – 25 kmpl and (6) short turning radius of 4 mts. That is quite a laundry list. In this post I will call this ad - product feature ads.
In the ad below Tata Nano has been presented as an affordable car which owners of four-wheelers can aspire for.
launch ad itself was quite lack lustre, it was pretty subdued and practically makes no proposition to the target customer – the customer is not presented with any good reason to buy Tata Nano.
In the Nano v/s two-wheeler ads once again no strong reason is given to the two-wheeler owners to change to Nano. Whatever message these ads contain are not presented effectively. The manner in which the message is conveyed is too subtle for people to take notice. An ad is supposed to create an urge in the prospective customer to buy or consider buying the product but that is not happening with Tata Nano ads.
Having discussed the Tata Nano ads above, the question now arises as to what Tata Motors can possibly do to create a favourable image for Tata Nano in the minds of the customers in their ad campaign? As I understand Tata Nano is a good entry level car with certain advantages which other cars in the category like Hyundai Eon and Maruti Alto 800 do not offer, these are:
- It is the most affordable car to buy in the Indian market and it also performs pretty well.
- Although it is a small car it is surprisingly spacious inside thanks to its design and engineering. Seating is quite comfortable and offers sufficient head space.
- It offers a very clear view of the road ahead.
- Easy to drive, park and manœuvre on congested city roads.
- Tata Nano gives you value for money.
Tata Motors, its ad agency and other agencies involved in promoting Tata Nano have a formidable task before them. Creating a new and favourable image for the Tata Nano brand is not going to be easy; what I feel is that advertising and other forms of communications must make sure that the target customer is made

Buick-focused scrapyard Wheatbelt Antique Auto heads to the crusher

After 26 years of selling used parts to Buick collectors, Wheatbelt Antique Auto is closing its doors forever on Saturday, March 1. A mobile crusher will set up shop on Wheatbelt's Carrier, Oklahoma, property the following week, and in just a few days the fields of rusting Buicks and parts that once defined the dismantler's business will again be barren, with little evidence that a successful business once spent nearly three decades on the same spot.

Owned by Kenny and Sue Reeves, Wheatbelt Antique auto specialized in dismantling 1941 to 1979 Buicks, and had earned a reputation among Buick owners and restorers as a reliable and trustworthy source of parts. Oddly enough, it was this success that ultimately led to the demise of the business; as Sue Reeves explained it, Whealtbelt no longer has complete or semi-complete cars, and the population of donor Buicks grows thinner with each passing year. With no way to replenish its once sizable inventory, Sue and Kenny felt that the time was right to close the business.

Calls from Buick owners keep coming, however, with many simply phoning to say "thanks" or schedule one last trip through Wheatbelt's fields hoping to find an overlooked but badly needed bit of trim or sheetmetal. Sue recently took a call from a wrecking yard in North Dakota which claimed to have "plenty of Buicks for sale" in its inventory, but as she explains it, a trip from Oklahoma to North Dakota to procure inventory sight-unseen just didn't fit into their plans. Both Sue and Kenny are of "social security age," as she describes it, and are eager to retire to Arkansas, where they'll be living near childhood friends and enjoying the down time.
"The business is retiring us," Sue said, a hint of sadness in her tone,"we've pretty much cleaned out the country of available Buicks."

Though it seems like more and more old junkyards are scrapping out nowadays, there's still at least a few around that would rather their older stuff stick around for a while, even if that means they end up growing beards of moss and slowly returning to earth, as is what appears to be taking place at Trust Salvage in Auburn, Washington. Hemmings Nation Flickr pool contributor Ralf K recently spent one crisp morning roaming the yard at Trust and came back with these amazing shots and more. Check 'em out, and if you have any old car-related photos you'd like to share, upload them to the Hemmings Nation Flickr pool.
From the My Hemmings pages: Avanti II saved
Old cars in shabby shape seem to follow Stan9341 home on a regular basis, but he seems to make the best of the situation each time, as we see from his postings to the My Hemmings pages about Vincent, a 1971 Plymouth Scamp, and Roy, a 1965 Ford Mustang. His latest project, a 1977 Avanti II nicknamed Avalon, appears to have been neglected for quite some time, but given the results of his work with Vincent and Roy, we imagine it won't be long before Avalon will again hit the road under its own power.
This girl was given to me by Jeff , the second owner and a friend of mine. I met Jeff one Sunday afternoon while driving my daughter's '71 Scamp and we got to talking about classic cars. He stated that he had an Avanti sitting by his barn that he drove for years, but the carburetor gave him problems and it leaked transmission fluid. He tried to fix it, but gave up when he noticed that the frame was rusted through under the driver's seat, and he could poke holes in the frame under the passenger's seat. I told him that I would help him fix the problematic rust through the "hog troughs" and help him with the carburetor and transmission if he would let me drive it once. He said he would think about it. We parted ways for the Saturday afternoon and I did not think about the conversation again until the next week when he showed up at my work place. He said thank you for the offer to help repair the car, but since I had done a lot to help him on his boat, he handed me the title and keys and said I would have to get a trailer and follow him to his business to retrieve the Avanti. Upon arriving at his business, the car was sitting under a lean-to attached to his barn. It was covered in old blankets and had two flat tires that would not hold air. After swapping spares around from two other cars and moving about fifteen feet of garage sale finds to get to the car, I was able to use a come-along to pull it from its resting place and got it onto my trailer.
I hope to start on this project in the fall of 2015, just as soon as I finish Roy for my youngest daughter. The attached pictures are from when I got it home and started to get some good dreams going. My eldest daughter, Genevieve, the Scamp owner, likes to name all of our vehicles, and for now it's being called "Avalon."

Open Diff – What's on your holiday wish list?
The auto enthusiast's shopping mall. Photo by Rene Schwietzke.
The season of giving is once again upon us, and those of us in the hobby are fairly particular about the parts that go into our cars, as well as the tools we use to wrench on them. That can make holiday gift-giving a challenge for friends and relatives because few consider junkyards a viable place to browse for presents, and fewer still have the patience to track down Snap-On route drivers to browse for holiday gift ideas. While the thought of receiving brake rotors, assorted interior parts or pitted chrome trim may not appeal to everyone, those of us with 10w-40 in our veins appreciate the effort that goes into procuring such treasured gifts.
Which, of course, brings up the question: "What, aside from a renewed subscription to all Hemmings magazines, is on your holiday wish list?" Are you looking for the unobtainable bit of bodywork necessary to complete a long-delayed restoration? A period-correct carburetor to bring a certain muscle car back to life? A compressor and spray gun so that you no longer have to be seen driving a car bedecked in a primer-gray livery?
Perhaps some of you may even be hoping for the keys to a Series I Jaguar E-Type, or to a 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, while others would be content with a replacement 3/8-inch-drive metric socket set. Let us know what you're hoping for, automotive-wise, this holiday season.
Lambrecht Chevrolet, round two: 1.7-mile Corvair leads list of cars still available
The 1.7-mile Corvair, to be offered as part of the "second chance" Lambrecht sale. Images courtesy of VanDerBrink Auctions.
While all of the nearly 500 cars and trucks at September's much-hyped Lambrecht Chevrolet auction in Pierce, Nebraska, sold at no reserve, not all of them went to new homes. A number of bidders defaulted on their transactions, so with the deadlines for resolving those defaults passed, VanDerBrink Auctions has re-listed 18 vehicles from the original event.
Topping the list is a never-sold 1960 Chevrolet Corvair Monza sedan, cream with a silver interior, showing just 1.7 miles on the odometer, which was reported sold for $4,250 during VanDerBrink's first sale. Unlike some of the cars sold last September, the Corvair was not a barn-preserved car, and as such shows rust on the body, floors and trunk. The interior is described as "needing work," and this claim is backed up by water stains on the driver's side of the front bench seat. The description also advises that the car is not in running condition, and it isn't clear how much work beyond a new battery and a fresh tank of gas will be needed to restore the Corvair to operable condition.
1957 Chevrolet 210 station wagon.
Another car of interest re-crossing the stage is the 1957 Chevrolet Two-Ten station wagon, equipped with a V-8 engine and an automatic transmission, which was reported sold for $7,500 during the first auction. It's not clear which V-8 the car was delivered with, but it's obvious that numerous parts have been liberated from the car over the years. Underhood, the radiator is missing, as is the air cleaner assembly; on the outside, the grille badge is gone, as is the (easily replaced) right front headlight. The description is vague about the car's origins or mileage, indicating that it's likely a trade-in and not a previously undelivered Chevrolet; still, for the right buyer, this may represent a solid starting point for a restoration project.
1963 Chevrolet Impala SS convertible.
Other cars on the resale list fall into the same trade-in category, as the rest of the unsold original cars have since found new homes. Fans of the Chevrolet Impala can choose from a 1963 Impala SS convertible, stored out-of-doors and missing its top, originally auctioned for $7,500; a 1967 Impala two-door hardtop, with body damage and a broken window, originally auctioned for $3,000; a 1971 Impala four-door sedan, described as in "nice" condition, originally auctioned for $1,700; a 1964 Impala four-door sedan, described as missing trim and with rust on the body, originally auctioned for $2,300; a 1961 Impala four-door sedan, with no further description, originally auctioned for $4,000; and a 1962 Impala two-door hardtop, with a V-8 and a three-speed column-shift manual transmission, originally auctioned for $4,300.
1949 Chevrolet 3600 pickup.
Additional Chevrolet models to be sold again are a 1953 Bel Air four-door sedan, described as having endured an interior fire, originally auctioned for $1,300; a 1963 Chevrolet four-door sedan, with no descriptions of model, trim or condition, originally auctioned for $1,500; a 1958 Del Ray four-door sedan, with broken glass and a "rough" interior, originally auctioned for $2,000; a 1953 Chevrolet two-door sedan, with a six-cylinder engine and a three-speed column-shift manual transmission, originally auctioned for $3,250; a 1949 3600 Series pickup, with a "mostly complete" interior, originally auctioned for $5,500; a 1947 Fleetmaster four-door sedan, with broken glass and a rough interior, originally auctioned for $650; and a 1973 Chevrolet Malibu coupe with 69,168 miles on the odometer, originally auctioned for $600.
1956 Ford Custom two-door sedan.
Those looking for a Ford from the Lambrecht re-sale can choose from a 1956 Ford Custom two-door sedan, traded in with 69,990 miles and originally auctioned for $2,100; a 1958 Ford Fairlane two-door sedan, with a presumed 108,493 miles and a mostly complete interior, originally auctioned for $2,000; or a 1967 Ford Galaxie four-door sedan, complete with a 390-cu.in. V-8 mated to an automatic transmission, originally auctioned for $1,800.
The second-chance auction is online only, and will run through November 24. All vehicles are offered with no reserve, and immediate payment will be required from winning bidders. For additional information, visit VanDerBrinkAuctions.com.
UPDATE (4.December): With the sale now concluded, the 1960 Chevrolet Corvair with 1.7 miles sold for $4,200; the 1957 Chevrolet 210 station wagon sold for $6,500; the 1963 Chevrolet Impala SS convertible sold for $4,500; the 1967 Impala two-door hardtop sold for $2,500; the 1971 Impala four-door sedan sold for $1,100; the 1964 Impala four-door sedan sold for $900; the 1961 Impala four-door sedan sold for $1,200; the 1962 Impala two-door hardtop sold for $5,000; the 1953 Bel Air four-door sedan sold for $400; the 1963 Chevrolet four-door sedan sold for $1,100; the 1958 Del Ray four-door sedan sold for $1,600; the 1953 Chevrolet two-door sedan sold for $2,600; the 1949 3600 Series pickup sold for $3,800; the 1947 Fleetmaster four-door sedan sold for $375; the 1973 Chevrolet Malibu coupe sold for $1,100; the 1956 Ford Custom two-door sedan sold for $2,100; the 1958 Ford Fairlane two-door sedan sold for $1,300; and the 1967 Ford Galaxie four-door sedan sold for $800.
Ghostbusters fans launch campaign to save Ecto 1a from the crusher

With seemingly every 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance in private hands turned into a Ghostbusters Ecto 1 clone (along with more white station wagons and ambulances of various makes and models than anybody can count), it's hard to believe that one of the three cars used in the filming of the Ghostbusters movies faces a date with the crusher. A group of Ghostbusters fans, however, have launched an effort to intervene and save the car known as Ecto 1a.

While Sony Pictures, which owns both Ecto 1 from the first Ghostbusters and Ecto 1a from the sequel, already restored the former to movie condition and had plans to restore the latter, it abandoned those plans when funding for the project was pulled in 2007. Since then, Ecto 1a has sat on a Sony back lot, and word is that the Cadillac may soon be sold for its scrap value.
That's where web site GBFans comes in; it has started a petition requesting that Sony Picture sell Ecto 1a to the group for scrap value. Assuming the petition is successful, the next step will be to raise money for the ambulance's restoration via a campaign on Kickstarter. The petition currently has about 3,600 signatures.
Even before the Cadillac's current state of neglect, time was not kind to the former movie star. On loan to Universal Studios Florida, Ecto 1a was routinely pilfered by fans hungry for souvenirs, and the ultimate indignity came when the Cadillac was reportedly struck by a park vehicle. Along the line, its windshield was broken as well, leaving the car's interior largely exposed to the elements. A restoration, therefore, is likely to be a long and expensive proposition.

According to the Ghostbusters wiki, Sony used three total Miller-Meteor ambulances for the two films: one used in the pre-Ecto 1 conversion scenes, Ecto 1, and Ecto 1a. The location of the third is apparently unknown.

Famous Detroit-area junkyard Warhoops sold

Normally when a junkyard changes hands, it doesn't warrant much attention in the national media. Junkyards tend to serve a more local role in the automotive lifecycle, and few rise beyond regional prominence. Not so with Warhoops, the Detroit-area junkyard made famous for sheltering four GM Motorama concept cars for decades, which its founder's son recently sold.
When World War II veteran Harry Warholak Sr. opened Warhoops in 1956 on almost 16 acres on 18-1/2 Mile Road in Sterling Heights, Michigan – an industrial area not far from GM's Tech Center – he intended it as no more than a place that would facilitate keeping older cars on the road. "Dad's whole philosophy – his whole thought of life – was to save a buck," said Harry Warholak Jr. "So originally his idea, and the idea I tried to keep going, was to keep the old cars available for the public to pick from, to save them not to scrap them."
How exactly GM determined to send its Motorama dream cars to Warhoops in 1958 nobody seems to know nowadays – more likely than not it was simply a matter of proximity – but as Warholak Jr. pointed out, it was his father's thrifty philosophy that kept GM from sending more than four of the dream cars to Warhoops. As related in a recent Car and Driver article on Warhoops, GM offered to ship the cars to Warhoops itself or let Warholak come get all of the cars with a wrecker of his own. Warholak took the former option so he wouldn't have to hire a wrecker driver for the day, but after four of the dream cars made it to Warhoops (the 1955 Cadillac LaSalle II roadster and sedan, the 1955 Chevrolet Biscayne, and the 1956 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham Town Car), somebody at GM sounded the alarm and the remaining cars stayed put. "We could've had all 35 if Dad had wanted to spend the money for that wrecker driver," Warholak Jr. said.

The four cars spent the next 30 years exposed to the elements at Warhoops and became the source of local car-guy lore until concept car collector Joe Bortz famously bought them in 1988. He has since restored two of the four – the LaSalle II roadster and the Biscayne – and sold a third – the Cadillac Eldorado Brougham Town Car.
Contrary to rumors that Warhoops harbored more dream cars, Warholak Jr. said that the junkyard only ever had those four, but they were enough to propel the junkyard to national recognition. Harry Warholak Sr. died a few years later in the early 1990s, but his son continued the business as well as his father's philosophy of keeping old cars available in the junkyard. However, Warholak Jr. said that he had already noticed a change come over the old car hobby by then.
"It seemed like the attitude of our customers changed from just having an old car to drive to work to having an old car as a collector car," he said. "We also saw scrap become more valuable than the parts and the Internet take a bite out of our business." Nevertheless, he kept the business going until last month, when he sold it to Detroit-based U.S. Auto Supply, which Warholak Jr. said will keep the junkyard open, but phase out its inventory of older cars.

Warholak Jr., 70, said he was just looking to retire, and has since then moved to Roswell, Georgia. The only thing from Warhoops that he took down South with him was a battery-powered kid-sized Jeep that his father built for him in 1949. "I am going to miss it," he said. "I'll really miss talking to all the guys who were with me and to the guys in the auto industry who would come in."
Bortz, who will show three of the four Warhoops dream cars at the Geneva Concours d'Elegance later this month along with the 1953 Buick Wildcat I, said he's sad that "a great long moment" has now passed. "Warhoops has become an icon," he said. "I would imagine it's the most famous single junkyard in the world."

A talented midfielder who often operates in wide positions but is effective when drifting infield to create opportunities for his team-mates.
The Manchester-born prospect scored his first Under-18 goal against Aston Villa in 2013 and later captained the team that travelled to Slovakia for a couple of friendlies.
There has been patience with his development but he has an athletic build and is a cultured midfield player who, at over 6ft tall, is an imposing figure. A smooth operator who is capable of covering the ground really well, he unfortunately missed the successful 2013 Milk Cup campaign after being included in the squad for the previous year.
Redmond ended last campaign with a league tally of four goals in 18 starts, with a further four outings off the bench, and he also made one start in the FA Youth Cup. There was a sign of the influence he is able to exert in matches in the convincing 5-1 mauling of Middlesbrough in February, 2014. The midfielder was outstanding, scoring twice and setting up two others, to showcase the ability he is known to have during his best performance of the season.

DETROIT (AP) - State-appointed emergency manager Kevyn Orr says he "was being dumb" when he criticized Detroiters for being "dumb" and "lazy" as the city sank fiscally.
Orr released a statement Wednesday apologizing to Detroit residents for statements published earlier this month in the Wall Street Journal.
Orr said then that "for a long time the city was dumb, lazy, happy and rich" and that its wealth allowed "a covenant if you had an eighth grade education, you'll get 30 years of a good job and a pension and great health care."
On Wednesday, Orr said his remarks were "a slip of the tongue" and "a distraction."
Orr was hired in March to fix Detroit's finances. Last month, he made Detroit the largest U.S. city to file for bankruptcy protection.

After months of closed door meetings and public gatherings, the West finally made an agreement with Iran. And now it might all go up in smoke; Bibi and Peres skipping Mandela's funeral; famous Egyptian activist arrested; and Syria and journalists don't mix.
Of the few remaining groups not yet on twitter, including your nana's knitting club, Al Qaeda is no longer one of them. They are back and tweeting furiously! Art in Egypt; Oman is Iran's meal ticket; and soccer hooligans trash Messi's fan page.

Most prominent Israeli politicians can discuss Iran without invoking various forms of apocalypse or foaming at the mouth. Not Bibi; Lebanon vs Dubai; how UAE residents can recycle their old laptops; and a racist Israeli meets an Arab soccer player.

The hits just keep coming for the Middle East and Northern Africa. Where there is corruption rotting away a country, there's a large chance it is an Arab state; Saudi official in Moscow for talks; and poking fun at catching a terrorist rabbit.
Arabs and others residing in the MENA are finding Linkedin to be a great resource to get their names out there on the job market; Hamas is the new policeman in Gaza; ana amazing photo from Yemen; and the Top Ten most expensive engagement rings.

A pillar of freedom and bastion of justice it may be, but what's for certain is that the governmental workings of the States is rotten to the core; an activist's view on Egypt's Anti-Terror law; and a Lebanese man playing for Manchester United?
This amazing footage could have very well been a man filming his own death at the hands of Israeli soldiers. Fortunately, his wounds were not fatal; Iran is not out of the woods yet; and a place for transgenders in Lebanon to feel safe.

Intra-alveolar fibrin deposition is a cardinal feature of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome and likely contributes to short-term and long-term morbidity. Previous studies have shown that fetal distal lung epithelial cell (FDLE) surfaces express procoagulant activity when incubated with adult plasma and may therefore provide one mechanism by which fibrin is generated. However, plasma concentrations of prothrombin and thrombin inhibitors differ significantly at birth and during the first weeks of life compared with adult values. Therefore, we measured thrombin-generating capacity and inhibitor complex formation in cord and adult plasma incubated in the presence of FDLE. Although starting cord plasma concentrations of prothrombin were 43% of adult values, the amount of thrombin generated was decreased by only 21%. When cord plasma concentrations of prothrombin were selectively increased to adult values, the amount of thrombin generated surpassed adult plasma by 89%. The latter observations suggested that thrombin inhibition was impaired in cord plasma compared with adult plasma and supplementation of cord plasma with antithrombin III (ATIII) as well as prothrombin returned thrombin generation to adult levels. However, the percentage of thrombin complexed to inhibitors (59%) at the completion of the experiments was similar in cord, cord plus prothrombin, cord plus prothrombin plus ATIII, and adult plasmas. Although a higher proportion of thrombin was inhibited by alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2M) in cord plasma and cord plasma plus prothrombin, this did not compensate for the decreased amount of thrombin inhibited by ATIII. When cord plasma was supplemented with ATIII as well as prothrombin, the proportions of thrombin complexed by the different inhibitors were similar to those of adult plasma.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
