Tomato Sauce
Epicurious | July 2010
The Frankies Spuntino Kitchen Companion & Cooking Manual
Frankies Spuntino
Makes about 3 quarts
Escoffier codified the mother sauces of French cooking. In the Italian-American tradition, there is only one: tomato sauce. Call it marinara (we do), call it gravy (we don't), call it whatever your grandma called it. It's tomato sauce. There's almost nothing we won't cook in it or put it on.
The real dealwhat we grew up with and the way we would do it if we had our choice (and didn't have so many vegetarian friends and customers) would be to make that sauce, then simmer up a batch of braciola or meatballs in it, and then use the resulting meat-infused product as our "tomato sauce" in all its myriad applications. And if you're not catering to vegetarians, we advise doing just that: make a triple batch of sauce, use it to simmer up braciola or meatballs and then use that tomato sauce, fresh or from the freezer, whenever tomato sauce is called for in these pages.
Use good Italian canned tomatoes and high quality olive oil when making this sauce, and take your timethere's no rushing it. When you're cooking the garlic, you want to very, very slowly convert the starches in it to sugars and then to caramelize those sugars. Slow and steady. Then get the tomatoes in and let them simmer. Not a ton happens over the four hoursno epic deepening of color or furious reductionbut it cooks as much water out of the tomatoes as possible without turning them into tomato paste.
Ingredientsadd to shopping list
- 1 cup olive oil
- 13 cloves garlic
- One 96-ounce can (or, if you can find it, 1-kg) or four 28-ounce cans Italian tomatoes
- Large pinch of red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1. Combine the olive oil and garlic in a large deep saucepan and cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring or swirling occasionally, until the garlic is deeply coloredstriations of deep brown running through golden clovesand fragrant. If the garlic starts to smell acrid or sharp or is taking on color quickly, pull the pan off the stove and reduce the heat.
2. While the garlic is getting golden, deal with the tomatoes: Pour them into a bowl and crush them with your hands. We like to pull out the firmer stem end from each of the tomatoes as we crush them and discard those along with the basil leaves that are packed into a can.
3. When the garlic is just about done, add the red pepper flakes to the oil and cook them for 30 seconds or a minute, to infuse their flavor and spice into the oil. Dump in the tomatoes, add the salt, and stir well. Turn the heat up to medium, get the sauce simmering at a gentle pace, not aggressively, and simmer for 4 hours. Stir it from time to time. Mother it a little bit.
4. Check the sauce for salt at the end. The sauce can be cooked with meat at this point, or stored, covered, in the fridge for at least 4 days or frozen for up to a few months.

October 1, 1509: Birth of John Calvin, French Protestant reformer, in Noyon, France. In 1536 he published his first edition of his classic Institutes of the Christian Religion, which became the most systematic Protestant doctrinal statement of the Reformation (see issue 12: Calvin).
October 1, 1529: The Colloquy of Marburg, which attempted to unify the followers of Martin Luther and Ulrich Zwingli, begins. It would close in failure October 4. While the Reformers agreed on 14 of the 15 articles, they remained divided over the Lutheran doctrine of the Eucharist (consubstantiation). Thus Switzerland remained Reformed and Germany stayed Lutheranand dreams of a united European front against Roman Catholicism died (see issue 39: Luther's Later Years).
October 2, 1187: Muslim general Saladin captures Jerusalem from the crusaders (see issue 40: The Crusades).
October 2, 1792: A dozen English ministers form the Baptist Missionary Society "for the propagation of the Gospel among the Heathen, according to the recommendations of [William] Carey's Enquiry" (see issue 36: William Carey).
October 2, 1800: Slave and lay preacher Nat Turner is born in Southampton County, Virginia. Inspired by biblical texts, the deeply religious and ascetic Turner received visions of liberating his people. On August 22, 1831, he led a major revolt with 60 other slaves, killing 57 white Virginians (see issue 62: Black Christianity before the Civil War).
October 3, 1226: Francis of Assisi, preacher and mystic who created monastic communities for men and women devoted to poverty and serving the poor, dies (see issue 42: Francis of Assisi).
October 3, 1692: Puritan clergy in Salem, Massachusetts, agree there would be no more executions resulting from the witch trials. More than 150 suspected witches had been put on trial in the previous year, and 19 had been hanged.
October 3, 1789: George Washington names November 26 as a day of national thanksgiving for the ratification of the Constitution. On the same date in 1863, Abraham Lincoln designates the last Thursday in November as Thanksgiving Day.
October 4, 1582: Spanish mystic and founder of a reformed Carmelite order Teresa of Avila dies. A model of spiritual discipline, she experienced visions of Jesus, wrote several mystical books (including her autobiography), and possessed a genius for administration.
October 4, 1669: Dutch painter Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn, known as the "painter of the soul" for his unsurpassed Christian art (including "The Return of the Prodigal Son," c. 1668), dies.
October 4, 1890: Catherine Booth, English "mother of the Salvation Army," dies of cancer. Besides preaching as a Salvation Army minister, she persuaded her husband, William, to make women an integral part of Salvation Army leadership and work (see issue 26: William and Catherine Booth).
October 4, 1965: Paul VI becomes the first pope to visit the United States and to address the United Nations.
October 5, 869: The Fourth Constantinople Council opens. During its six sessions, the council condemned iconoclasm and anathematized Constantinople Patriarch Photius. (It's a story too complicated to go into here, but basically, there was a strong disagreement over who was the "real" patriarch, and whether Holy Spirit proceeded from the Son as well as the Father). It was the last ecumenical council held in the East, but Eastern Orthodox Christians don't consider it a true ecumenical council (see issue 54: Eastern Orthodoxy).
October 5, 1703: American evangelical preacher and Congregational theologian Jonathan Edwards is born in East Windsor, Connecticut. The leading theologian of his day, he is known most commonly for his Great Awakening sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," which he delivered in a quiet monotone. In fact, the content of the sermon is rather atypical for Edwards (see issue 8: Jonathan Edwards).
October 5, 1744: David Brainerd, kicked out of Yale for criticizing a tutor and attending a forbidden revival meeting, begins missionary work with Native Americans along New Jersey's Susquehannah River. Jonathan Edwards's biography of Brainerd was key in promoting Christian missions and was counted by William Carey as one of his most influential reads.
October 6, 1536: English reformer William Tyndale, who translated and published the first mechanically-printed New Testament in the English language (against the law at the time) is strangled to death. His body is then burned at the stake (see issue 16: William Tyndale).
October 6, 1552: Matteo Ricci, the first Roman Catholic missionary to China, is born in Macareta, Italy. His complete adoption of Chinese customs and alliance with Confucianism (which he believed merely a civil cult, unlike Buddhism and Taoism) was criticized by other missionaries.
October 7, 1830: George Muller, a leader in the Plymouth Brethren movement and founder of Christian orphanages, weds Mary Groves, the sister of another Brethren leader. In lieu of a honeymoon, the couple set off the next day to, in George's words, "work for the Lord."
October 8, 451: The Council of Chalcedon opens to deal with the Eutychians, who believed Jesus could not have two natures. His divinity, they believed, swallowed up his humanity "like a drop of wine in the sea." The council condemned the teaching as heresy and created a confession of faith which has since been regarded as the highest word in Christology (see issue 51: Heresy in the Early Church).
October 9, 1000: Leif "the Lucky" Eriksson, who later evangelized Greenland, is reported to have been the first European to reach North America on this date. But while he was certainly a member of an early Viking voyage to "Vinland" (probably Nova Scotia), it's doubtful he led the initial expedition (see issue 63: How the Vikings Took up the Faith).
October 9, 1747: David Brainerd, pioneer missionary to Native Americans in New England, dies of tuberculosis at age 29. His journal, published by Jonathan Edwards, inspired hundreds to become missionaries, including the "father of modern Protestant missions," William Carey.
October 9, 1890: Pentecostal evangelist and national sensation Aimee Semple McPherson is born in Ontario, Canada (see issue 58: Pentecostalism).
October 9, 1958: Pope Pius XII, whose record protecting Jews in 1940s Germany is hotly debated and who formally defined the dogma of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (1950), dies.
October 10, 1560: Dutch theologian Jacob Arminius, the founder of a theology that challenged Reformed assumptions, is born in Oudewater, Netherlands.
October 10, 1821: Law student Charles Finney, 29, goes into the woods near his home to settle the question of his soul's salvation. That night, he experienced a dramatic conversion, full of what seemed "waves of liquid love throughout his body." Finney later became American history's greatest revivalist and is credited with the conversions of 500,000 people (see issue 20: Charles Finney).
October 11, 1521: Leo X conferred the title "Fidei Defensor" (Defender of the Faith) upon England's Henry VIII for his tract "The Assertion of the Seven Sacraments," written against Martin Luther. Three popes and 13 years later, Henry severed all ties with Rome, making the Church of England a separate church body (see issue 48: Cranmer and the English Reformation).
October 11, 1531: Swiss reformer Ulrich Zwingli is killed in the Battle of Kappel (see issue 4: Ulrich Zwingli).
October 11, 1551: The 13th Session of the Council of Trent opens to discuss the Eucharist. The Counter-Reformation Council affirmed the doctrine of transubstantiation and repudiated Lutheran, Calvinist, and Zwinglian eucharistic doctrines.
October 12, 1492: Christopher Columbus arrives in the Caribbean (see issue 35: Christopher Columbus and Christianity Come to the Americas).
October 12, 1518: German reformer Martin Luther undergoes an excruciating interview about his 95 Theses (posted one year earlier) with Cardinal Thomas Cajetan in Augsburg. It was so painful, Luther later recalled, that he could not even ride a horse because his bowels ran freely from morning to night (see issue 34: Luther: The Early Years).
October 12, 1971 The rock musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" debuts on Broadway
October 13, 1605: Theodore Beza, Calvin's successor as leader of the Swiss Reformation, dies (see issue 12: John Calvin).
October 13, 1670: Virginia bans slavery for Negroes who arrive in the American colonies as Christians. The law was repealed 12 years later (see issue 62: Black Christianity before the Civil War).
October 13, 1917: Three shepherd children near Fatima, Portugal, report visions of the Virgin Mary.
October 14, 1066: William the Conqueror leads the Normans to victory over the English Saxons in the Battle of Hastings. William is also considered one of England's most important religious reformers; he spent his last days in intense Christian devotion.
October 14, 1633: James II of England, whose conversion to Catholicism in 1670 created a constitutional crisis in Anglican Britain, is born.
October 14, 1644: William Penn, the Quaker founder of Pennsylvania and one of the most engaging religious figures of his age, is born in London.
October 14, 1656: Massachusetts enacts a law prohibiting "Quakerism" or harboring Quakers.
October 14, 1735: John and Charles Wesley, cofounders of Methodism, set sail for ministry in America (see issue 2: John Wesley).

October 15, 1900: Charles Fox Parham opens Bethel Bible Institute in Topeka, Kansas, where Agnes Ozman and other students would speak in tongues New Year's Eve and begin the Pentecostal movement (see issue 58: Pentecostalism).
October 15, 1932: A small party of supporters gathers in Liverpool, England, to send Gladys Aylward, a 28-year-old parlormaid, off on a dangerous missionary journey to China. Though she'd been turned down by the missions agency she applied to, she went on to become one of the most amazing single woman missionaries of modern history. Her dramatic rescue of a hundred orphans is told in the movie The Inn of the Sixth Happiness, starring Ingrid Bergman (see issue 52: Hudson Taylor & Missions to China).
October 15, 1949: Billy Graham skyrockets to national prominence with an evangelistic crusade in Los Angeles.
October 16, 1311: The Council of Vienne opens to decide if the Templars, a military order sworn to protect Christian pilgrims, are heretical and too wealthy. Pope Clement V decided to suppress the order. Its leader was burned and members' possessions taken by the church. That decision was adamantly derided by the poet Dante and by later historians (see issue 40: The Crusades).
October 16, 1555: English reformers Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley are burned at the stake at the order of Roman Catholic Queen Mary Tudor (see issue 48: Cranmer and the English Reformation).
October 16, 1701: Yale College (then the Collegiate School) is founded by Congregationalists unhappy with growing liberalism at Harvard.
October 16, 1859: Militant messianic abolitionist John Brown leads a group of about 20 men in a raid on the federal armory at Harper's Ferry, Virginia (now West Virginia). Brown believed that only violent action would end slavery and that a massive slave uprising would bring God's judgment upon unrepentant American Southerners. Furthermore, he believed that God had anointed him as the cleansing agent for his country's sin. But when the slaves around Harper's Ferry failed to rally to Brown's cause, he was overpowered. He was arrested, tried, and hanged (see issue 33: Christianity and the Civil War).
October 16, 1925: The Texas State Text Book Board bans evolutionary theory from all its textbooks (see issue 55: Fundamentalism).
October 16, 1978: The Roman Catholic College of Cardinals chooses Polish Cardinal Karol Wojtyla to be the new pope. Taking the name John Paul II, he became the first non-Italian pope in 456 years.
October 17, 108: According to tradition, Ignatius, bishop of Antioch, was martyred on this date. The Apostolic Father closest in thought to the New Testament writers, Ignatius wrote seven letters under armed guard on his way to Romesome asking that the church not interfere with his "true sacrifice."

October 17, 1979: Mother Teresa is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
October 18, 1405: Enea Silvio Piccolomini (a.k.a. Pope Pius II) is born at Corsignano, Italy. Though faulted for taking radical and sometimes contradictory positions on issues, he was one of the best popes of his age: he wrote an important study of geography and ethnography, a popular love story, and an autobiography. He died in 1464 while planning a battle against the Turks, who controlled Constantinople.
October 18, 1685: French King Louis XIV issues the Edict of Fontainebleu, which revokes the Edict of Nantes and once again forbids Huguenots (French Protestants) from worshipping.
October 18, 1867: The United States purchases Alaska for $7.2 million, or about 2 cents an acre. Ten years later, after lax military administration had only worsened the territory's moral condition, an army private stationed in Alaska begged, "Send out a shepherd who may reclaim a mighty flock from the error of their ways, and gather them into the true fold." Presbyterian missionary Sheldon Jackson answered the call and spent decades raising funds, building schools and churches, and crusading for better laws (see issue 66: Christianity in the Wild West).
October 19, 1512: Martin Luther receives his Doctor of Theology degree from the University of Wittenberg (see issue 34: Luther's Early Years).
October 19, 1609: Dutch theologian Jacob Arminius, founder of an anti-Calvinist Reformed theology, dies at age 49 in Leiden, Netherlands (see issue 12: John Calvin).
October 19, 1720: Quaker minister John Woolman is born in Roncocas, New Jersey. He was known for his concerns to live a simple life exemplifying "the right use of things," and to end war, slavery, and injustice toward the poor and to Native Americans. His journal, written from 1756-72, influenced nineteenth-century abolitionists and demonstrated his concern for both the oppressors and the oppressed.
October 19, 1744: English revivalist George Whitefield arrives in Maine for his third (of seven) evangelistic visit to America (see issue 38: George Whitefield).
October 19, 1779: English poet William Cowper and curate John Newton publish Olney Hymns, a classic collection of evangelical and Reformed hymns.
October 19, 1856: A Sunday evening service led by Charles Haddon Spurgeon turns tragic when someone shouts "Fire!" in London's enormous Surrey Hall. There was no fire, but the stampede left 7 people dead and 28 more hospitalized. Though the episode plunged Spurgeon into weeks of depression, it also catapulted him to overnight fame (see issue 29: Charles Haddon Spurgeon).
October 20, 751: Pepin the Short, son of Frankish hero Charles Martel and father of Charlemagne, deposes the last of the Merovingian kings and becomes the first king of the Carolingian dynasty. He was crowned by Pope Stephen II, who later asked for his help when threatened by Lombards of northern Italy. Pepin defeated the Lombards, then ceded the territory he captured back to the pope, laying the foundation for the papal states.
October 20, 1349: Pope Clement VI condemns self-flagellation, speaking out against a veritable flagellation frenzy. The practice, first taught by the Benedictine monk Peter Damian in the mid-eleventh century, gained popularity during the thirteenth-century Black Death scare and continues today in isolated incidents.
October 21, 1555: Finding that the recent martyrdom of bishops Nicholas Ridley and Hugh Latimer had intensified Protestant zeal, Queen Mary launches a series of fierce persecutions in which more than 200 men, women, and children were killed (see issue 48: Thomas Cranmer and the English Reformation).
October 21, 1663: Virginia colonist John Harlow is fined 50 pounds of tobacco for missing church.
October 21, 1692: William Penn is deposed as governor of Pennsylvania. His grateful overtures to James II for permitting religious freedom for Dissenters from the Church of England led William and Mary to charge Penn with being a papist. They were also troubled by his pacifism.
October 21, 1970: John T. Scopes, the Tennessee teacher convicted for teaching evolution, dies at age 70 (see issue 55: The Monkey Trial and the Rise of Fundamentalism).
October 22, 4004 BC: According to James Ussher, the well-respected and scholarly Anglican primate of the Irish Church in the early seventeenth century, God created the universe on this date at 9:00 a.m. GMT.
October 22, 1811: Pianist Franz Liszt, known for his Romantic orchestras and songs, but also the author of more than 60 religious works (including the song known today as "Fairest Lord Jesus"), is born in Raiding, Hungary.
October 22, 1844: Between 50,000 and 100,000 followers of Baptist lay preacher William Miller prepared for "The Day of Atonement"the day Jesus would return. Jesus didn't, and though Miller retained his faith in Christ's imminent return until his death, he blamed human mistakes in Bible chronologies for "The Great Disappointment." Several groups arose from Miller's following, including the Seventh-Day Adventists (see issue 61: The End).
October 23, 1976: Presidential candidate Jimmy Carter responds to a public outcry over comments he made in an interview with Playboy magazine. "Christ said, 'I tell you that anyone who looks on a woman with lust has in his heart already committed adultery,'" Carter said in the interview. "I've looked on a lot of women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times."
October 24, 1260: France's Chartres Cathedral, the purest example of Gothic architecture, is consecrated.
October 24, 1648: The Peace of Westphalia ends central Europe's Thirty Years War. Extending equal political rights to Catholics and Protestants (including religious minorities), the peace treaties also marked the first use of the term "secularization" (in discussing some church property that was to be distributed among the warring parties).
October 25, 431: The Council of Ephesus replaces Nestorius with a new patriarch of Constantinople. Nestorius was anathematized for holding the belief that two separate persons indwelled the incarnate Christ (see issue 51: Heresy in the Early Church).
October 25, 1400: English poet Geoffrey Chaucer dies in London, having abruptly stopped writing his famous Canterbury Tales some time before. Though not a religious writer, his characters aptly illustrate the best and worst of the church in his day. Chaucer was buried in Westminster Abbey, a high honor for a commoner, and became the first of those entombed in what is now called Poets' Corner (see issue 49: Everyday Faith in the Middle Ages).
October 25, 1147: Because of bickering and ineffective leadership, the German armies of the Second Crusade (1147-49) are destroyed by the Saracens at Dorylaeum in modern Turkey (see issue 40: Crusades).
October 26, 899: Alfred the Great, ruler of Wessex, England, from 871, dies. His defeat of the Danes ensured Christianity's survival in England, but he is also known for his ecclesiastical reforms and his desire to revive learning in his country.
October 26, 1466: According to some accounts, Dutch scholar Desiderius Erasmus was born on this date. The first editor of the Greek New Testament, he also wrote In Praise of Folly (a satire of monastic and ecclesiastical corruption) and many other works.
October 26, 1529: Thomas More becomes Lord Chancellor of England. Though he defended religious freedom in his book Utopia, he strongly opposed the Reformation and wrote against Luther, Tyndale, and others. Because he also opposed Henry VIII's claim to be the supreme head of the English church, as well as the king's divorce, he was executed.
October 26, 1633: The Puritan congregation at Newton (now Cambridge), Massachusetts, chooses Thomas Hooker as its pastor. Hooker, like many Dissenters, had earlier fled persecution in England by traveling to Holland. He then sailed to America with preachers John Cotton and Samuel Stone, leading grateful Puritans in Boston to quip that they now had "Cotton for their clothing, Hooker for their fishing, and Stone for their building" (see issue 41: American Puritans).
October 26, 1950: Mother Teresa founds the first Mission of Charity in Calcutta, India.
October 26, 1966: The first World Congress on Evangelism opens in West Berlin, attracting approximately 600 delegates from about 100 countries.
October 27, 625: Honorius I begins his reign as pope. His belief in Monothelitism (that Christ had only one will, not two), since condemned as heresy by the Roman Catholic Church, have long been a point of conflict for Catholic discussion of papal infallibility.
October 27, 1553: Michael Servetus is burned at the stake in Geneva for his heretical beliefs regarding the Trinity (see issue 12: John Calvin).
October 27, 1746: Scottish Presbyterian pastor and theologian William Tennant obtains a charter for the College of New Jersey, which is now Princeton. He had founded the school in 1726 as a seminary to train his sons and others for ministry. Presidents of the college later included Aaron Burr, Jonathan Edwards, and Reverend John Witherspoon, who led the school to national prominence.
October 27, 1771: Francis Asbury, sent from England by John Wesley to oversee America's 600 (or so) Methodists, lands in Philadelphia. During his 45-year ministry in America, he traveled on horseback or in carriage an estimated 300,000 miles, delivering some 16,500 sermons. By his death, there were 200,000 Methodists in America (see issue 45: Camp Meetings & Circuit Riders).
October 27, 1978: The complete New International Version (NIV) of the Bible is published.
October 28, 312: According to tradition, on this date the 32-year-old Roman emperor Constantine defeated Maxentius at Milvian Bridge. Before the battle, Constantine had seen the symbol of Jesus, chi-rho, in a vision, accompanied with the words "By this sign conquer." He is considered Rome's first Christian emperor (see issue 57: Converting the Empire).
October 28, 1646: At Nonantum, Massachusetts, missionary John Eliot preaches the first worship service for Native Americans in their native language.
October 28, 1949: Jim Elliot, missionary to Ecuador's Auca Indians, writes in his journal the most famous of his sayings: "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."
October 28, 1958: The Roman Catholic patriarch of Venice, Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, is unexpectedly elected pope, taking the name John XXIII. Expected to be a mere caretaker in office, he became one of the Catholic church's most activist popes, convening the Second Vatican Council in 1962 (see issue 65: The Ten Most Influential Christians of the Twentieth Century).
October 28, 1992: The Korean Hyoo-go (Korean for "rapture") movement, led by prophet Lee Jang Rim, predicts that this is the day of the rapture (see issue 61: The End).
October 29, 1562: George Abbot, translator of the Gospels, Acts and Revelation for the King James Bible, is born. He became head of the Church of England in 1611, but his popularity (and his health) declined sharply after he killed a man in a hunting accident in 1621.
October 29, 1837: Dutch theologian and politician Abraham Kuyper is born in Rotterdam, Holland. He became so popular and famous that on October 29, 1907, the whole nation celebrated his 70th birthday, declaring, "the history of the Netherlands, in Church, in State, in Society, in Press, in School, and in the Sciences the last forty years, cannot be written without the mention of his name on almost every page."
October 29, 1919: A.B. Simpson, founder of the Christian and Missionary Alliance and Nyack College, dies.
October 30, 1451: Christopher Columbus, who sailed across the Atlantic Ocean both to spread Christianity and (as his crew members complained) to "make a great lord of himself," is born (see issue 35: Columbus).
October 30, 1821: Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevski, whose works (including Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamozov, and Notes from the Underground) reflect his deep Russian Orthodox faith, is born.
October 30, 1883: Bob Jones, Sr., one of Fundamentalism's most renowned evangelists and founder of Bob Jones University, is born (see issue 55: Fundamentalism).
October 31, 1517: Martin Luther posts his 95 Theses in Wittenberg (see issue 34: Luther's Early Years).
October 31, 1825: George Muller, who founded orphanages that would house more than 10,000 orphans by his death in 1898, converts to Christianity at a Moravian mission.
October 31, 1992: Pope John Paul II formally admits the Roman Catholic Church's error in condemning Galileo Galilei in 1633 for believing the sun, not the earth, was the center of the universe.

Featured Info
How to: Field SFC VTEC Controller
The Field SFC VTEC controller has functions for altering the amount of fuel delivered to the engine in 1000 RPM increments, up to +/- 30% of the original amount. It also has a programmable shift 'beep' and speed limiter remover in addition to being able to alter the cam switchover point in VTEC's and MIVEC's.
For a fully translated instruction manual, click here
First of all, you have to find your ECU, this controls what goes on in your car and the SFC taps into it and in some cases modifies the signal from your ECU. In an Xsi, the ECU is under the passengers feet, just pull up the carpet and you'll see a metal panel with four 10mm bolts you need to remove. Now is a good time to take your negative terminal off your battery. Once this is off, you can lift your ECU out and unclip the wiring harnesses.
Strip the insulation back to expose the wiring and familiarize yourself with which harness is which, you will be tapping into 2 wires and cutting 4. You will need to solder 9 joins.
Your ECU looks like the pic below, the wiring will be covered by insulation tape, just cut it back and there will be a big mess of wires.
Pay no attention to the big yellow wires in the picture, they're for my speakers.
The red LED light in the middle tells you if there are any error codes showing up at your ecu, to find out what the codes mean, check out my ECU CODE PAGE
Use the picture above as a guide, if anything is wrong with my directions go with the picture because it comes straight from the instruction manual. Remember, this ECU may not match your car so if it isn't a 1990 Xsi, check out the instruction manual for the right picture. Full diagram
1) First, find the IGNITION POWER wire which is YELLOW/ BLACK, you will need to expose a 5-10mm portion of this wire to solder the RED wire from your SFC to. Do not cut this wire!.
2) Now find the RPM SIGNAL wire which is WHITE, once again, do not cut this wire, you need to tap into it by exposing the wire and making a solder join to the GREEN wire which comes from the SFC unit.
3) The first wire you need to cut is the VTEC SIGNAL wire which is GREEN/White. Make sure you leave enough wire on each side to join to. Make the cut and solder the end coming from the ecu to the YELLOW wire from the SFC, connect the other side of the GREEN/WHITE wire to the DARK BLUE wire from the SFC.
4) Find and cut the VTM wire which is colored BLUE/BLACK. Solder this to the GREEN/WHITE wire from your SFC. the other end of the VTM wire is not needed and must be insulated with tape.
5) Now find the SPEED SENSOR wire which is colored YELLOW/RED. Connect the end coming from the ECU to the PURPLE wire on the SFC and the remaining end to the LIGHT BLUE wire from the SFC.
6) Finally, cut the SENSOR LINE wire which is WHITE and solder the ORANGE wire from the SFC to the ECU end of the WHITE wire and the remaining end to the BROWN wire coming from your SFC unit.
Now that all the wiring is finished, you need to ground the unit and and reinstall the ECU. I found a bolt behind and to the left of the ECU to ground it to, it was the grounding point for another wire as well.
Replace the ECU and the metal panel, securing them with the 4 bolts.
You will need to find a place to mount the SFC unit, it can go pretty much anywhere, some people put it under their head unit or mount it on their steering column. Just make sure the wiring loom will reach your mounting spot BEFORE you do anything drastic.
I was considering a few places, in the end I decided to remove the heater vent under the steering column, and put it there. It fits perfectly, it looks like it was there from the factory.
With it mounted here, you can't actually see it while you're driving, your view is obscured by the steering wheel, it may be visible through an aftermarket wheel.
I'm not too worried if I can see it or not, because it can't be seen easily from outside the car by potential thieves. I'm sure once the novelty wears off, I'll forget it's there. The shift beep is easily heard from here as well.
Troubleshooting and making wiring loom
You might run into problems with the SFC like I did. My engine started to stutter and I had error codes appearing on my ECU. The code I got was the map sensor code and this is what was causing the stuttering. The MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor measures the vacuum in the intake manifold to determine the amount of air going to the engine, some cars have an air flow meter instead.
The trouble with mine was the wiring plug which plugs into the back of the unit, some of the wires had come loose from the white plastic part of the plug and didn't make proper contact with the pins at the back of the SFC. I came to the conclusion that the wiring plug was crap and I would have constant problems with it until it was fixed.
I decided to get rid of the plug altogether, you can also follow these instructions if you don't have a wiring loom. I'm not an electrician but my SFC now works perfectly, I take no responsibility if you try this and ruin your SFC.
If you're handy with a soldering iron you can solder the wires straight onto the pins at the back of the unit. If you open the SFC up you can see a white piece of plastic which gets in the road of the pins, you can cut this bit out or melt it off with the iron, this will make your soldering easier.
If you look at the back of the unit you will see 16 pins set out like the diagram above. The 16 numbers correspond to the following colors, this is the way the wires were set out in the original plug.
With these wires soldered properly, you can install the unit normally.

President Nixon had finished preparing his speech on the situation in Vietnam, which he was due to deliver the following evening.
Henry Kissinger∇: Hello?
President Nixon: Hello, Henry?
Kissinger: Mr. President.
President Nixon: Well, since you've got back, have you been infected yet with the Washington virus?
Kissinger: Not yet, Mr. President. [Unclear comment by President Nixon.] I think we're on the right course. I've read the speech over, and I think that it's very strong now.
President Nixon: Yeah, it's a pretty good speech, actually.
Kissinger: I think it's an excellent speech.
President Nixon: Yeah, it's got a lot of tone. Let me say that I think it's important . . . I told Rose [Mary Woods∇] to tell [Patrick] Buchanan∇ that you—and you the same thing—that both you and Buchanan say you don't know what the hell's going to be in it.
Kissinger: Right. [Unclear.]
President Nixon: But I think it's—I think it's very important to do that for the reason that I might change it. And second, I just think it's just as well to know that . . . you know, I . . . because I know that . . . you know we get the usual staff jitteriness and the Congress and all the rest saying—
Kissinger: Yeah.
President Nixon: —to do this and that and the other thing, you know, and . . . I understand all that. They're all, you know, wobbling around, and, hell, I'm just not going to let them think they affected me one way or the other.
Kissinger: Absolutely, Mr. President.
President Nixon: And I . . . because I know . . . see, it's . . . the point is that they, the fellows all think, they may think they tell me things I don't know, but I'm aware of all these things. I mean, I know them more deeply than they do, you know, but . . . I mean that [unclear]—
Kissinger: Well, John Scali∇ called this evening.
President Nixon: Yeah?
Kissinger: And he had a number of hot ideas. But, you know, that is a syndrome of all people who just leave the news field.
President Nixon: Mm-hmm.
Kissinger: They want to do it the other way, the traditional way.
President Nixon: What is his idea? Just to—
Kissinger: Well, he doesn't have a concrete idea. He just wants some sort of smashing announcement that would defuse everything.
President Nixon: Well, now, what the hell would we do? You mean like announce we're going to get out tomorrow or end all combat?
Kissinger: No, he doesn't have . . . he doesn't . . . he admits he doesn't know what it is.
President Nixon: Mm-hmm. Can't be done.
Kissinger: And, it can't be done. I think—
President Nixon: [Unclear] November 3 . . . It's just too—1
Kissinger: I don't—
President Nixon: In that respect it's just like November 3, because basically, I mean, whether it's [unclear] but the point is that at this point we cannot just do something that we know isn't going to wash. That's all there is to it.
Kissinger: I talked to [Leonard] Garment∇ and he said he's become totally convinced that if we appeal to the doves, we'll be destroyed.
President Nixon: Huh!
Kissinger: And he said he read the World Report. He had to give a speech at the Federal City Club. He thinks your foreign policy holds together, and it's got a good philosophical foundation, and we should fight for it.
President Nixon: Yeah.
Kissinger: And that coming from him, since his instincts—
President Nixon: I know.
Kissinger: —are the other way, is particularly interesting, I think.
President Nixon: Well, we're not going to go—we'll play, incidentally, once we get something to play with. If we get anything from [Anatoly] Dobrynin∇ or anything like that, we'll then go to John Scali and, by God, we'll broker the hell out of it.
Kissinger: Oh, yeah.
President Nixon: We've got to do an even better job of doing—
Kissinger: But then we do it to destroy the doves.
President Nixon: But not for the purpose of catering to them.
Kissinger: Precisely.
President Nixon: This idea that you can defuse them is bull. It will not work.
Kissinger: I agree completely.
President Nixon: And I know, for example, I mean, John Ehrlichman∇, you know, was raising the credibility problem today, you know, and various things. And he was doing it, you know, with the best of feelings. And I said, "Well, John," I said, "they're"—And he wasn't trying to advocate a change, but he says there is a problem. Hell, I know there's a problem, but it's not what we've done; it's what they've created.
Kissinger: That's right.
President Nixon: I mean what the hell have we done that is . . . the only stupid thing we did, actually, when you look at Laos, the only stupid thing was that goddamn blackout, which I didn't order.
Kissinger: [Unclear.]
President Nixon: But [unclear] those sons of bitches—
Kissinger: [Unclear] which we thought would end within 24 hours.
President Nixon: Yeah.
Kissinger: If it had ended within 24 hours, no one would have paid any attention to it.
President Nixon: I know. Well—
Kissinger: No, [General Creighton W.] Abrams in this whole operation has been a disaster.
President Nixon: Yeah.
Kissinger: [Unclear] great credit but he's not been good on the—
President Nixon: Yeah. Anyway, the point is that that having happened, we—while it is true that, if you read the polls and everything else, there is a credibility—and, about us. There's—they don't believe us. They don't—there's a lack of confidence in the conduct of the war and so forth. That is no reason to cave. If we just state it out there the best we can—
Kissinger: It is—it is because—
President Nixon: —and hope for the best. Because if we start, you know, simpering around and catering to these bastards, hell, they'll just eat us alive. And Garment sees that, doesn't he?
Kissinger: Absolutely. In fact—and he came to this conclusion entirely by himself and, as you can imagine, against his first instinct.
President Nixon: I know. Well, I would, when you're talking tomorrow to the staff, because I won't see them, I would take a line where you're concerned . . . why don't you appear to be a little dovish? I mean, just say, "Gee whiz, you know, I—because I don't know what he's going to do. I mean he's done what he's done and did before, he's thinking about it himself, he's going to make his own decision, and I can't predict at all what he's going to do."
Kissinger: Absolutely.
President Nixon: I'd just keep them guessing. And I'd—and if they wail, then turn around and say, "Now look, you can wail all you want, but that's—he's the guy that's going to do this." And that I've considered all their views. Right? And all the rest. I mean [George] Shultz∇ and Ehrlichman and, you know, [Clark] MacGregor∇ and [Donald] Rumsfeld∇ and [Robert] Finch∇ and all the rest, they don't know a goddamn thing about this.
Kissinger: Exactly.
President Nixon: They don't know what it's about.
Kissinger: And they don't know what we'll be hit with if this whole thing comes apart.
President Nixon: They don't know a thing about foreign policy.
Kissinger: Exactly.
President Nixon: They're only concerned about, frankly, peace at any price, really. Because they see—and all they're concerned about is, well, revenue sharing and the environment and all that crap, which doesn't amount to anything in my opinion.
Kissinger: They want to take off the immediate pressure. This is their overriding concern.
President Nixon: Mm-hmm. Well, the immediate pressure isn't all that heavy.
Kissinger: And that I don't believe can be done.
President Nixon: Yeah.
Kissinger: I mean, it can't be done their way, because once you accept the premises of [George] McGovern∇, you are fighting on his ground, and it wouldn't be in character.
President Nixon: Oh, that's right.
Kissinger: There is one thing, Mr. President, there are two sentences we ought to add.
President Nixon: Yeah.
Kissinger: Because there's the cynical comment that the doves are now making, especially McGovern, that we are substituting Ameri—Asian for American casualties.
President Nixon: Yeah.
Kissinger: And increasing the bombing. And we can do it in two sentences. One, where you speak about reduction in American deaths—
President Nixon: Yeah.
Kissinger: —you can say, "And South Vietnamese casualties have also dropped by," I think, "50 percent." I'll get you the exact figure.
President Nixon: Right. And why don't we say that our—and then put in, and we've reduced our bombing by so much?
Kissinger: And the bombing within South Vietnam has been reduced by 90 percent, Mr. President.
President Nixon: Yeah, and just, well, rather than getting into too many figures, just say that we have reduced our bombing by 30 percent, or something like that.
Kissinger: Right.
President Nixon: You know what I mean. Just get it, whatever the figure is for Southeast Asia—I don't want to have to get into separating South Vietnam from Laos.
Kissinger: The significance of the 90 percent is that in the populated areas our bombing has decreased by 90 percent—the area we're now bombing is the unpopulated area.
President Nixon: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I know that, but I don't have time to explain that.
Kissinger: Well, I'll get you the right figures.
President Nixon: All we need is just get some figure that makes the point we've—that is . . . we can at least try to get that across.
Kissinger: Right.
President Nixon: But—
Kissinger: So two sentences is what I would recommend [unclear].
President Nixon: And also that South Vietnamese casualties are down.
Kissinger: That South Vietnamese casualties—I'm getting the exact figures.
President Nixon: Even with Laos?
Kissinger: Even with Laos.
President Nixon: Yeah. You can say that: "Even with the heavy casualties they took in Laos."
Kissinger: Right.
President Nixon: Mm-hmm. Now, of course, these goddamn dove things, Henry, it's just one thing, they eat you alive, you take one thing and then they go after another one. And, hell, I'm determined to just see it through. To hell with them and—
Kissinger: It's [unclear].
President Nixon: And if it fails, it fails, and—
Kissinger: Well, it's a heroic posture, Mr. President.
President Nixon: Well, hell, hero or not, the point is that there's no other course for the country.
Kissinger: Yeah.
Nixon: These people, I mean, that's why our domestic side—I mean, while I'm interested in their views, why, they're irrelevant. They don't know what the hell they're talking about.
Kissinger: That's right.
President Nixon: I mean, now on the other hand, too, I must say that they are so terribly obsessed with listening to television, reading all of our critics: the New York Times, the Washington Post, and, of course, I must say of course the [Joseph] Alsop piece probably disturbs them. But they read all that, and they say, well, now just a minute, is this true? I mean, have we overstated anything? Haven't we really kept our promises? You see that's the point.
Kissinger: That's—
President Nixon: I constantly get back to the fact that I don't think our own people know enough how to defend us.
Kissinger: That's right. That's right.
President Nixon: Hmm?
Kissinger: They are astonished by some of these things. Or by what we've accomplished. I mean, we've kept our promises, we will have taken out several hundred thousand, two-thirds of our forces.
President Nixon: They get the impression—that they read the critics, and they get the impression that damn it, we are lying and that we are covering up, that there are—

Calm Down, Everybody: Big Bird Will Be Fine
We'll just go ahead and say it: last night's debate was a big bore. Mitt Romney did quite well, Jim Lehrer did quite poorly, and a few million people became aware of the current President's sleepwalking problem for the first time. (It is worth noting that, way back in June, Chuck Todd predicted that Obama would probably not win this first debate because "no one has cut his remarks short during his term in office".)
The night's most contentious moment, however, clearly concerned none other than Big Bird. When listing public entities that he would stop funding if elected, Romney took a moment to pick on perennial bogeyman PBS, telling Public Broadcasting employee Lehrer that he would have to cut funding for the channel despite the fact that "I like PBS. I love Big Bird. I actually like you, too."
The Internet quickly made it a meme, and a predictable number of mildly amusing tweets ensued. So yeah, it was a weird line—but it wasn't quite accurate. (In case you hadn't noticed, this is a common problem in presidential debates.)
Unfortunately, we have to ruin everyone's fun by calling an official end to this non-scandal. Take it away, Sherrie Westin, executive vice president and chief marketing officer of Sesame Workshop–give CNN's Soledad O'Brien some of that sweet, sweet damage control!

Help Christians affected by worsening crisis in Syria
Project(s): 49-890
Country/Region: Middle East and North Africa, Syria
Christian leaders in Syria and neighbouring countries have expressed growing concern about the deteriorating situation in Syria, and in particular what it means for the vulnerable Christian minority.
Barnabas Aid is helping to feed Iraqi Christian refugees in Syria
The Arab League on Saturday suspended Syria over its crackdown on protestors in a move that highlights how far conditions in the country have worsened since anti-government demonstrations broke out in March. The UN says that at least 3,500 people have been killed.
The EU is also increasingly concerned about the unrest in Syria. European foreign ministers have agreed a preliminary deal on tightening sanctions against the country, and French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said it was time to look at increased protection for Syria's civilians.
As the Assad regime comes under mounting international pressure, Christians, who comprise around ten per cent of the population, are particularly concerned about what the future holds for them and Iraqi Christian refugees living in the country.
Should Assad fall, it is feared that Syria could go the way of Iraq post-Saddam Hussein. Saddam, like Assad, restrained the influence of militant Islamists, but after his fall they were free to wreak havoc on the Christian community; hundreds of thousands of Christians were consequently forced to flee the violence. Many of them went to Syria.
A Syrian church leader, who coordinates a number of Barnabas Aid's food programmes for Iraqi Christian refugees in Syria, said:
Most of the Iraqi Christians living in Syria are worried because they do not want to see Syrian Christians passing through the same path as happened with them in Iraq. They are lifting their prayers for a safe and secure Syria and for it [to] continue to be a safe haven.
Christians have mostly stayed away from the protests in Syria, having been well treated and afforded a considerable amount of religious freedom under President Assad's regime. Earlier this year, an influential sheik issued an implicit threat to the country's Christians, saying that all those who oppose the revolution will be "torn apart, chopped up and fed to the dogs".
Barnabas Aid is one of the very few Christian agencies working to assist Christians in Syria, and has done so for many years thanks to the generosity of our supporters. As conditions deteriorate, more funds are desperately required to help meet the practical needs of our brothers and sisters affected by this crisis. In particular we are feeding many thousands of Iraqi Christian refugees as well as supporting other projects to assist Christians in Syria.
Dr Patrick Sookhdeo, International Director of Barnabas Aid, said:
Syria has been very much a safe haven for Christians in the Middle East, one of the few Arab countries where they were treated with respect and had equality with the Muslim majority. Syria also has a history of welcoming in persecuted Christians from other countries. But I greatly fear that within the near future we will see a new Iraq developing in Syria. Barnabas Aid is standing with our brothers and sisters during this tumultuous time through both prayer and practical support. Please help us to help them.

The Deal: Frontier Pilots on Board with Indigo Deal
NEW YORK (The Deal) -- Indigo Partners' planned $145 million acquisition of Frontier Airlines appears on track to close as scheduled as the private equity firm, according to sources, has made steady progress working out some contentious issues with the airline's workers.
Phoenix-based Indigo on Oct. 1 announced plans to acquire Frontier from Republic Airways Holdings (RJET) for $36 million in cash and $109 million in debt, but that deal was contingent on Indigo first resolving thorny equity rights issues with Frontier's flight attendants and pilots. Disagreements over redemption of those rights, which were granted to Frontier workers in 2011 in exchange for concessions, had delayed a deal for months prior to the announcement.
Terms of the deal with Republic gave Indigo until the end of October to resolve those issues. Though the parties offered no comment on Tuesday, sources close to Frontier said that Indigo has a tentative deal in place with FAPA Invest, the fiduciary of the pilot equity interest, and expects to have the flight attendants on board to allow for a close.
"A fair deal is in place," one source familiar with the pilot negotiations said. "Pilots are no longer an issue."All parties involved have been motivated to complete a deal. Republic and Frontier workers are eager to undo the company's 2009 purchase of Frontier out of bankruptcy protection, and Indigo hopes to continue to transform Frontier into a so-called ultra-low-cost carrier similar to one-time Indigo portfolio company Spirit Airlines (SAVE). But even if the dispute is resolved to allow for the deal to close, the equity rights grant figures to continue to be an issue at Frontier for some time. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the union representing pilots at Republic who won a 2011 election to represent Frontier fliers as well, has litigation pending arguing that the equity rights deal violated labor rules. The Teamsters have complained that the equity rights plan was negotiated just as the union was taking over representation of Frontier pilots, but the talks did not involve them. Craig Moffatt, president of the Teamsters local representing Republic pilots, called the Oct. 1 deal announcement "further proof that Republic Airways Holdings has violated labor laws in its dealings with the pilots" and vowed to fight on no matter who owns Frontier. A Teamster representative said Tuesday that the group has not had any communication with Indigo, Republic or Frontier about the matter in the last month. Frontier sources say the union has considered going to the U.S. District Court in Colorado, where litigation about the equity rights plan is pending, to try to prevent the Indigo deal from closing, but is more likely to instead add Indigo to the ongoing fight. "The problem is not the merger," one source said. "The problem exists no matter who owns Frontier."

Just some thoughts I'd like to get out
09:49pm 20/10/2003
I've come to a point in my life where everything seemed to change abruptly. Partly by my own actions, partly by those of others. But what I've come to realize is, in the end you learn who your true friends are and in the end you find out who you are and know where you belong. I've spent my whole life trying to be a cameleon, to be able to fit in with almost any kind of people. Spent my life trying to show what would interest people,letting myself be drained, caring for what would make them happy and always being the one to soften things. I've spent so much time avoiding conflict, ignoring it hoping it will pass, or breaking under the pressure so as to be the sorry one, no longer wanting to fight, unable to stand feelings of anger.I just wanted every one to get along. But now, I can only do this. I can only be the person that I am and follow where my heart takes me. The ones who truely care about me will follow with me. I've lost so many friends along the way, so many turning out to be vindictive,lying,two-faced people. And it does hurt to see out of all the "friends" i once had, only a circle of a few remain. Maybe I never deserved real friends. Maybe it was my fault for allowing myself to choose and keep associating myself with these people. Maybe it was my fault for never speaking up,letting people walk over me like I did...Who can say? All I know is I've reached my breaking point and I'm walking away. I'm leaving it all behind. As for all these bad memories,I'm turning my back and let them say what they want behind it. Because it doesnt matter when they dont matter and i wont listen to it. I'm starting over, a new life. Building myself from scratch, a new person as i go, new to me and new to whoever I come in contact with. Thats the great thing about being in a new place where no one knows you or knows anyone who's known you...You can let them know only what you want and they can see the person you are without any preconceptions about you. But i'm hanging on to that small circle...Those few,my anchor. I'm just taking a moment to sit back and really appreciate those who have helped me through hard times and never judged me. Who's friendship survives even the darkest of times, thankfull that these people were here although I know I dont deserve it. And as for my opinion on anyone else....They can just fuck off. Who are they to me anyway, if they arent my friend? So yeah I'm an angry bitch now. Deal with it. LOL. Maybe I should start a chic rock band and get out my feelings,eh? XD

I don't know if this has been mentioned, have not checked in for awhile. But I was able to get my two vials of Novolog for free this weekend via the Cornerstone4Care program. The program is for Novolog and Levemir and will assist with your co-pay up to $50. Since I elected a plan with a lousy $40 copay this year, I was thrilled that I didnt have to pay anything on Saturday when I got my insulin. And this program is good for an entire year.
Maybe someone else can benefit from this, sorry…

Investment Portfolio
- Building an investment portfolio
- Compounding Can Add Fuel to Your Portfolio
If you enter the terms "Albert Einstein" and "compounding" into an Internet search engine, you'll discover a wide variety of quotes attributed to the great inventor. Some results say Einstein called compounding the "greatest mathematical discovery of all time," while others say he called it the "most powerful force in the universe." Despite the many variations, Einstein's point is valid: compounding can add fuel to your portfolio's growth. The key is to allow enough time to let it go to work.
- Creating an investment portfolio
As you create your portfolio, keep in mind that it should contain a variety of investments. It should be balanced, holding investments of varying degrees of risk. You'll want to understand your own tolerance for risk, which may depend on your goals, life stage, and investment experience. If planning your portfolio seems overwhelming, consider working with a stockbroker, financial planner, or professional money manager.
- Evaluating risk in your portfolio
There are several factors to consider when evaluating your portfolio. Have you thought of them all?
- The Investment Policy Statement: A Portfolio's Road Map
- How do I construct an investment portfolio that's right for me?
- How much of my portfolio should I keep in stocks?
- How should I structure my retirement portfolio?

LHOKSEUMAWE, Indonesia - Mulyana, a 24-year-old housewife, had just sat down to a wedding party on Sunday morning when the tsunami struck. She ran and held on to a coconut tree. Still, the water dragged her far out to sea.
''I was alone in the middle of the ocean,'' Mulyana said on Tuesday from her hospital bed in this town on the northeastern coast of Aceh Province, the area of Indonesia hit hardest by the disaster. ''I was afraid of being pulled all the way to India.''
Mulyana, who cannot swim, said she clung to a coconut tree floating nearby. With the weight of her clothes pulling her down, she ripped off everything but her bra and prayed to God to help her. Four hours later a group of fishermen found her still alive as they were pulling bodies from the water. Each morning's tide brings with it the bodies of more victims who, like Mulyana, were washed out to sea, but who were not so lucky. Others have been found tangled in branches of trees where the waters hurled them.
Mulyana is one of more than 200 survivors who have filled the hospitals here, many with similarly harrowing tales of how they survived a tempest that Indonesian and international relief officials fear may have killed more than 30,000 people in this country alone.
''We're seeing devastation and death beyond belief,'' said Michael Elmquist, who leads the U.N. assistance office in Indonesia, speaking in an interview in his office in Jakarta. ''I've been through many disasters around the world, but I've never seen anything like this. There's really nothing to compare it to.''
While relief workers rushed Tuesday to get food and medical supplies to the survivors to stave off starvation and disease, Indonesian officials said 4,775 people had been confirmed dead in North Sumatra, where Aceh is located, near the epicenter of the quake. Local officials were preparing makeshift graves even as unclaimed bodies remained on streets and shorelines.
The U.N. office in Jakarta received an unconfirmed report late Tuesday that as many as 40,000 people had perished in the town of Meulaboh on Sumatra's western shore.
''If that is true,'' Elmquist said, ''that's going way beyond any of our initial estimates.''
Some officials said they fear that many more people may also have drowned in a remote set of smaller Indonesian islands off Sumatra, including the island of Nias. But officials emphasized that for now it was difficult to assess the full extent of the devastation.
In Banda Aceh, the provincial capital, reports are filtering in of thousands of bodies, some lined up outside a city mosque. Others are being carried away in army trucks.
The U.S. Consulate in Medan, more than 200 miles south along the eastern coast, received reports that the waters around Banda Aceh had swirled as far as 10 miles inland. Tadepalli Murty, a professor at the University of Manitoba in Canada who has modeled the potential of tsunamis in the Indian Ocean, estimated that the waves that hit Banda Aceh could have been as tall as 50 feet.
The waves were reported to have inundated one city hospital, drowning patients inside.
Local television stations broadcast images from Banda Aceh that showed a city drenched with mud and debris, with bodies lying in the street or wedged among the debris.
Where the bodies have been lined up, anxious survivors peer under makeshift shrouds in search of loved ones.
Muktarudin Daud, a fisherman from the village of Pusong Lama, had just returned with his morning's catch when the first of the two giant waves struck.
When the waters rushed out after the first wave, many of the village children walked out to collect the fish left on the exposed land, only to be caught by the second, much larger wave.
Muktarudin Daud said he managed to escape with his wife and three children, running for an hour ahead of the rising water, but everything they owned was washed away.
''We are traumatized,'' he said. ''We are afraid it will happen again.''

Had a plumber living next door. It was Canada day when my hot water tank blew,
he went in his truck pull one out and installed it, and only charged me his
cost. I had my brother the mechanic fix his truck for nothing about a month
later. What goes around, comes around.
The guy across the street installed alarms, but that's another story.

MA, PhD (Cambridge), DLit (QUB), MRIA, FRHistS
Professor Emeritus of Ancient History
E-mail: email@example.com
David Whitehead, born in Nottinghamshire in 1949, won scholarships to Nottingham High School and from there to Clare College Cambridge. Upon graduating with first-class honours in Parts I and II of the Classical Tripos he undertook a PhD in Ancient History under the supervision of Moses Finley. He has held, at various times, Research Fellowships at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, and in the USA (School of Historical Studies, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton; [Harvard] Center for Hellenic Studies, Washington DC) and Visiting Fellowships at New College and All Souls Oxford; he has also been a British Academy Research Reader and was the inaugural Co-Director of M.H.Hansen's Copenhagen Polis Centre. After teaching for three years in Cambridge and seventeen at the Victoria University of Manchester (Department of History) he was appointed to the then Chair of Classics at Queen's in 1992. He is a founding editor of Oxford University Press's Clarendon Ancient History Series, and Senior Managing Editor of the electronic Suda-On-Line www.stoa.org.sol. He was elected a Member of the Royal Irish Academy in 1999, and awarded the degree of DLit at Queen's in 2005. He retired from the university in 2014.
Professor Whitehead's teaching and research expertise lies in Greek history and Greek prose literature, especially (but not exclusively) those of classical Athens. Areas of special interest likewise span the divide, such as it is, between Ancient History and Classics: political and social history, epigraphy and prosopography, historiography, law and lawcourt oratory, lexicography, military writers.

Full 2006 Cadillac Escalade Review
What's New for 2006
There are no significant changes to the 2006 Cadillac Escalade.
When the Escalade was introduced in 1999, the Cadillac faithful were a little nervous. After all, the idea of a truck bearing the Cadillac wreath and crest just didn't seem like it had much promise. And then there was the vehicle itself -- an underpowered, over-clad behemoth that used heavy doses of leather and wood trim to conceal the fact it was nothing more than a slightly reworked Chevrolet Tahoe.
To everyone's surprise, the Escalade sold well. The public's insatiable thirst for SUVs overcame the original vehicle's initial mediocrity to make it one of the best-selling models in Cadillac's lineup. After skipping the 2001 model year, the Escalade returned in 2002 with an all-new look and significantly revised underpinnings. The results were nothing short of a home run as the Cadillac Escalade became one of the most popular full-size luxury SUVs on the market.
Its combination of bold styling and class-leading engine power made it popular with high-profile athletes and power-hungry executives alike. Although it's still based on the Chevrolet Tahoe-GMC Yukon twins, the Escalade now features enough exclusive hardware to qualify it for premium status. Upgrades like road-sensing suspension, a 345-horsepower V8 and a thundering Bose sound system rank the Escalade right up there with the best in the business when it comes to luxury SUVs. If you like 'em big, bold and chock-full of high-tech goodies, the 2006 Cadillac Escalade will certainly fill the bill.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
In keeping with its premium image, the seven-passenger 2006 Cadillac Escalade SUV comes in one trim level only. The standard features list is extensive, and includes items like tri-zone climate control, leather seating, an in-dash six-CD Bose audio system and satellite radio. Major options include a DVD entertainment system, a DVD-based navigation system, 20-inch chrome wheels and a second-row bench seat (instead of the standard twin buckets) to increase passenger capacity to eight.
Powertrains and Performance
Cadillac Escalade buyers can choose between all-wheel drive and two-wheel drive. Both versions come standard with a 6.0-liter V8 that produces 345 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. A four-speed automatic transmission is also standard. The maximum tow rating for AWD models is 8,100 pounds, while 2WD versions can lug up to 7,400 pounds. Acceleration is surprisingly brisk for such a large vehicle, and buyers who tow heavy trailers on a regular basis will appreciate the added muscle of the 6.0-liter V8.
All Escalade models come standard with a stability control system as well as four-wheel antilock disc brakes, side airbags for the driver and front passenger, and OnStar telematics. Other safety features include HID headlamps, a tire-pressure monitoring system and rear parking sensors. In tests conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the 2006 Cadillac Escalade earned four out of five stars for driver and front-passenger protection in frontal impacts.
Interior Design and Special Features
As you would expect in a luxury SUV, the Escalade's interior features plenty of soft leather and shiny wood accents. Some of the cabin's design cues and materials are too derivative of a Chevy Tahoe, but the Cadillac still pulls off the role of a luxury vehicle. The front bucket seats feel like big lounge chairs, and well-cushioned second-row buckets are standard fare -- a bench seat for the second row is a no-cost option. There's plenty of room for four or five adults to stretch out and even the optional third-row seats are comfortable enough for shorter trips.
Driving Impressions
Despite its imposing size, the 2006 Cadillac Escalade handles itself admirably. Body roll is kept well under control and the continuous adjustments made by the standard Road Sensing Suspension (RSS) maintain an excellent balance between ride quality and road feel. The steering can feel a bit numb on the highway, but it lightens up nicely during low-speed maneuvers. The star of the show is the burly 6.0-liter V8, as it provides ample passing power and matches well to the four-speed automatic transmission. Just don't expect to leave a gas station without paying a pricey sum; the Escalade's EPA fuel economy rating is a dismal 13 city/17 highway.

(5 Risky Auto Supplier Stocks story updated to reflect IBISWorld's risk and market analysis of various auto supplier sectors)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. auto suppliers have had their share of pain and bankruptcies to contend with in recent years amid the steep downturn in U.S. automotive production and bankruptcies of large customers such as GM and Chrysler.
While auto suppliers as a group may not be completely out the woods yet, things certainly do like they're picking up, with Visteon (VSTNQ), exiting bankruptcy protection at the beginning of October and September auto sales up almost 29% from a year ago.
"In North America, automotive suppliers have been hit hard over the past few years -- volatile commodity prices, plunging production volumes, movement from larger to smaller vehicles and the historic bankruptcies of two OEMs," A.T. Kearney partner Dan Cheng said. "However, outside of the notable supplier bankruptcies, many suppliers were able to weather the storm through significant capacity reductions, restructuring and policy changes."
"In particular, Tier 1 suppliers were able to improve their working capital position over the past two years by significantly increasing their days payables to Tier 2 suppliers -- bringing in line their payment terms with the payment terms of their customers -- the OEMs. ""Going forward, one risk is the speed of the industry recovery. As OEMs increase production to meet increased demand, suppliers will need capital to add capacity -- and also be convinced that the time to invest in additional capacity, after the drastic reductions of last year, is now." That said, TheStreet has compiled a list of auto suppliers who -- according to the Altman Z-Score combination of five ratios, as researched though analytical tool I-Metrix -- face the risk of bankruptcy in the not so distant future, despite the fact that they have seen their scores improve over the last fiscal year. All these auto suppliers have Z-Scores of 1.81 or less, which according to I-Metrix, indicate a "very good chance" the businesses could go bankrupt in the coming year. Included in the list is Visteon, which actually has been in bankruptcy protection, but iss expected to emerge from it in early October. Also provided in the following pages are Moody's ratings outlooks for each company and assessments of the companies' creditworthiness or likelihood of defaulting. Typically, companies that receive ratings in the range of Aaa to Baa3 are considered to be investment grade, while those that receive assessments in the range of Ba1 to C are considered to be high-yield or non-investment grade or "junk." Thus, if a company is rated B1, Bloomberg would say the rating is four notches below investment grade. If a company is rated B3, Bloomberg would say the rating is six notches below investment grade. Read on for five (excluding Visteon) auto supplier stocks that are still at risk of going bankrupt in the coming year according to the Altman Z-Score on I-Metrix. >>>Also: Automotive Short Squeezes for 2010
