2005 Ford Five Hundred Limited AWD Review
Solid handling, lots of features for the money.
Sub-par interior materials, overall engineering lacks sophistication.
A Good Effort, But.... — I bought this car because I'm getting old and figured it was time to get a grown-up car! Did a lot of research and decided that I got a lot of features for the money (I bought it when it was 1 1/2 years old). The fact that ath the time Five Hundred's were selling for a lot less than the competition on the resale market should have told me something.... Performance is okay. Acceleration won't cause any whiplash and no danger of detached retinas from the brakes, but both are adequate for commuting to work and running errands around town. The suspension is actually pretty darn good for such a big car, I'd even venture to characterize it as somewhat 'European'. I guess that's not too much of a stretch considering that it's based on a Volvo-derived platform. And I certainly did get an awful lot of features for not a whole lot of money. This car is absolutely loaded with bells and whistles that would have cost several thousand more on an Accord or Camry. Also, the interior of the car really has a pretty nice layout that I'd put up against any of the mid-level European or Japanese sedans--for looks. The quality of the materials is definitely not on par with the competition...lots of cheap feeling plastic that quite frankly I've found typical in American cars. General reliability has been pretty good so far, but there are some problems that I would classify more as design flaws. The CVT transmission is amazingly noisy and if I had to do it over again I'd opt for the non-AWD version with the 6-speed auto. Also, the power steering system puffs and wheezes like crazy during low-speed maneuvering which seems to be endemic to the first run of Five Hundreds (the new 'Taurus' version has a more advanced electric-assist system). There's also the tendency of the water drain system in the doors to clog which allow the doors to fill with water when it rains real hard. Where this car shines is on a cool, sunny day while crusing down the interstate with the sunroof open. Better than anything Ford's offered up until 2005, but the car could definitely benefit from a materials upgrade and a little more sweat in the details.

She knows point A. She knows point B. She knows how to get from one to the other.
About as fun to drive as watching paint dry.
Crossing My Fingers — When Ford made the mistake of calling the Taurus the Five Hundred and Mullaly (CEO of Ford Motor Company) knocked some sense back into the company, I wondered how this was going to make owners like me feel about having a vehicle that even Ford wasn't quite sure of. Well, I've gotten over it and this faux Taurus and precursor to the 2010 design change is what it is: a big car with an engine that's too small to energize you as a driver and looks that would make anyone say, "Eh." There have been recalls (rear brakes, harsh transmission shifts, etc) that have all affected me and my pocket book. But in the end, at 91K+ miles currently, 3 sets of wheels and regular oil changes have kept this Titanium Green honey going. It's my daily commuter. It's fine. And surprisingly getting me 27 mpg. I think it'll go another 80-90K, but that's crossing my fingers really, really hard.

Features, comfort, gas mileage
Plain jane appearance, even with it's new 2008 Taurus badging
Ford Five Hundred — Performance is adequate Quality is good so far Styling is tame but adequate Very inexpensive for what you get Not really a fun car, but very comfortable with all the bells and whistles. Great gas mileage--average 26mph with mixed driving. Would definitely recommend so here are six more words...

Roomy, comfortable, quiet, safe
Not as sporty looking as some other sedans
Got To Love The 6 Speed Transmission — While the new 08 Taurus models get more horsepower, the 3 liter in my Five can still make you smile, especially at highway speeds. Car is fully loaded and we are spoiled, even has the remote start and heated seats for the cold season.

Great overall reliable car. Very little work above basic maintenance.
I'm a really big guy. 6'3" 370. I can fit just barely. Nothing else other than that,
Good Reliable And A Great Value. — Good clean comfortable car that performed well. Plenty of room for a mid size car that is dependable. Good gas mileage for the size car with enough power to do what you need to do. Just a good overall car.

Very reliable,heated seats,good visibility as windows are large enough to see other objects, moon roof, roomy trunk.
Hanger for clothes is poorly designed and basically unusable, 18" tires costly to replace, the paint finish does scratch easily.
In Love — I love this car. It is comfortable and handles all my daily needs well. I have not put much money into this car for repairs but the major items I have replaced have been tires and the airbag deployment thingamajig. Most reliable car I have owned.

Great to drive long distances
2005 Ford Five Hundred — Great passenger car overall. What I loved about it the most was it was basically free as it was a company vehicle. Drove this vehicle very long distances (over 1,500 miles weekly) for my job and the passenger compartment and driver erganomics made this a very comfortable vehicle to drive. Mileage range was excellent for this 6 cyl. LOVED THIS CAR!

Great Car Overall. — Nice car, suits me just fine, as with most Fords. Only put gas and oil into her so far, may need some new wipers before winter hits, but other than that, she's just fine. If your going for a used car, I recommend this car.

Central Texas Turnpike
Thank you, Chairman Williamson. I am honored to be here with Secretary Mineta, Chairman Krusee, and so many local leaders who have worked to make the Central Texas Turnpike a reality.
For Central Texans who are tired of wasting time and gas in traffic jams on I-35, we have some great news.
Today I am proud to announce that by this fall, Texans will have a safer, faster route around I-35 congestion when more than 40 miles of the Central Texas Turnpike are open for business.
This project is being completed nearly a year ahead of schedule, and more than $400 million under budget.
And if that's not reason enough to celebrate, Texans trying to get from Georgetown down to 290 up the Mopac Extension, or across the new Texas 45, can look forward to faster commutes with fewer accidents.
The fact that these roads will be completed in less than 4 years is an amazing accomplishment that would not have been possible without the kind of public-private partnerships that the legislature authorized and voters approved in 2001.
With new and innovative ways to pay for transportation, we can build needed roads sooner, and at a lower cost to taxpayers.
Had we used the old transportation funding model and relied on gas taxes to finance this expansion, it would have taken an estimated 25 years to complete these roads.
If state and local leaders hadn't embraced this modern vision for transportation funding, Central Texans would have only two options: pay at least a dollar more at the pump for each gallon of gas, or waste even more time in a rush hour parking lot that gets filled with more trucks and vehicles with each passing year.
But soon, Texans can leave behind the traffic jams, bottlenecks and jackknifed big rigs on I-35 in exchange for a small toll.
And drivers won't even have to slow down to pay it, because TxTAG window stickers are already available for order.
With a TxTAG, there's no hunting through your purse or wallet for a card, or digging around for loose change.
And those who purchase one will save 10 percent not just on the Central Texas Turnpike, but every tollway in the state.
When you consider all that gas we waste idling in traffic on the Interstate, and all the aspirin we buy to treat traffic-induced headaches, a toll is a small price to pay for quicker commutes, greater safety and peace of mind.
The fact of the matter is there is no such thing as freeways: there are tax roads, and toll roads.
Toll roads are built faster, sooner and cheaper.
Tax roads are built slower, later and at a higher price.
That's because the cost of construction is always going to climb, the availability of tax dollars is limited, and the use of those tax dollars competes with other public priorities.
We face some unique transportation challenges in Texas.
Not only do we have a lot of places to go, but a lot of people trying to get there.
In fact, over the last five years our population has increased nearly 10 percent, and that means we have more than 2 million new Texans traveling our already congested highways.
While they haven't all moved to Travis and Williamson Counties, sometimes it seems that way.
That's why building the Turnpike was so important.
Good roads like this one are essential for the safety of our families, the health of our economy, and the preservation of our environment.
I am honored to introduce a man who not only understands the importance of this project, but who helped provide the financing for it with the largest federal loan of its kind.
Please join me in welcoming the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Norman Mineta.
At this time we would be happy to take your questions.

Biggest crowd yet for Halloween bash
Sunday, November 10, 2013
The Lebanon Rescue Department is reporting that it enjoyed its biggest crowd yet for its annual Halloween Party.
The rescue department would like to thank Steve Collins, of Belgian Meadows Farm, who donated pumpkins. Children decorated the pumpkins at the event.
The department would also like to thank Southern Maine Tool Rental for its donation of a large light to help illuminate the event.
NEW attorneys
The Lebanon Board of Selectmen decided on Thursday, Oct. 31, to replace Town Attorney Alan Shepard, of Kennebunk, with the firm of Bourque & Clegg in Sanford.
"On behalf of the board of selectmen, we would like to thank Alan Shepard for his service to the town, and we wish him well," Selectmen Chairwoman Karen Gerrish said.
The selectmen said that they are looking forward to working with the new firm.
The Lebanon Town Office is now collecting nonperishable food items to go into Thanksgiving baskets to be distributed to those in need.
Donations can be dropped off at the Lebanon Town office during regular office hours.
The deadline for donations is Friday, Nov. 22.

2014 Infiniti Q50 hits the web early, courtesy of... Infiniti
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Jan 13th, 2013 at 10:50AM
Well, what do we have here? It seems that Infiniti.ca, the official Canadian website of the Japanese automaker, accidentally published a load of 2014 Q50 images ahead of its official debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. As you can see in our high-res image gallery of screen shots above, the 2014 Infiniti Q50 carries along in the footsteps of the marque's current curvy design language. There's the requisite pinched chrome grille, upswept headlight clusters, and a hood with multiple flowing ridges, peaks and valleys. As confusing as the newly Q-infused lineup may be on paper, there's simply... Read More

For the Potstickers:
1-3 oz. bar bittersweet dark chocolate, cut into 8 triangles
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
2 teaspoons dried, crushed red peppers
8 ready-made wonton/gyoza wrappers
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

1 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon black sesame seeds
1. Prepare potstickers for frying and steaming by lightly moistening wonton wrappers.
2. Place a triangle of chocolate on top of the wonton wrapper. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon of fresh grated ginger, and sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper atop chocolate.
3. Fold wonton wrapper over chocolate, then seal edges by pressing together firmly with a fork.
4. Follow steps 1-3 until all 8 potstickers are prepared.
5. Heat 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil, in a deep skillet. Stove should be turned to MEDIUM heat.

Inspired by a favorite asian dish, this recipe lends itself to all sorts of exotic presentation ideas.
Try serving
For more formal dessert affairs, drizzle potstickers with Sesame-Lime dipping sauce before serving, and dot plate with pieces of crystallized ginger.

Very few Bakemonogatari doujins get the dialogue right, or even try to imitate the unique style of the show. Aerodog pulls off Araragi's internal monologue and his banter with Suruga quite well, which made this doujin a lot more fun to typeset than the usual "hey bro stick it in me" porno dialogue.
Seriously though, where's the Suruga/Senjougahara yuri?! Making a cover like this and filling the book with het is just trolling.

Working As A Cycling Guide In France
Later today I will fly to Boston. Sadly my bicycle wont be boxed up in the hold below me but the good news is my trip will be food and cycling related. Last year I worked as a gastronomic cycling guide for DuVine adventures and as a new season beckons I have been invited to DuVine HQ to help promote more delicious cycling holidays in France and Ireland.
Leading gastronomic cycling holidays in Frances famous wine regions enabled me to share my love and food and cycling with others. Eating at Michelin stared restaurants and bustling local markets, cycling through vineyards and in historic cities a summer working for DuVine gave me a fascinating insight into France and her food.
Frosty mornings in March provided a barren beauty amongst the vineyards of Burgundy. The produce of Champagne held its own mysticl charm in the deep summer and the food in France always looks good. Never without my camera, here are some of my favorite images from a year in France.

I'm sitting cross-legged on the floor of a wall-less hut in the Samoan jungle, huddled (next to a rooster) just beyond the reach of a raging tropical downpour. Getting here required a trek that would daunt a Survivor contestant (it was so muddy I had to tie my shoes to my feet with sandwich bags), but the payoff is priceless. Graham Clewerthe director of ethical trade for The Body Shop is presenting to Makerita Sila, a formidable woman clad in a traditional ie lavalava sarong who presides over the farm we're visiting, a new range of products containing virgin coconut oil harvested on her land. She turns the sleek bottles of lotion over in her hands only briefly, smiling with the patient expression of someone who's been given a neat, but not overly impressive, gift. Through a translator, she conveys her gratitude for The Body Shop Community Trade program, which has made a tremendous difference for her impoverished family, as well as provides some amusement: Virgin coconut oil, which we have traveled halfway around the world to learn about, has been a part of her life since the day she was born. "We use it from head to toe," she says. "It keeps our hair and skin soft and young." As I regard her unlined face and the glossy, ebony bun secured with a Bic pen at her crown, my mind flashes to the glut of high-tech lotions and potions on my bathroom shelf. Is it possible that while scientists have been busy trying to find the next big anti-aging ingredient in a lab, it's been hiding in plain sightliterally growing on trees?
According to mounting evidence, yes. Some of the most exciting recent skinsaving breakthroughs are based on "active" natural ingredientsthat is, natural ingredients that contain clinically proven bioactive molecules capable of firing up collagen-producing fibroblasts, accelerating cell turnover and arresting the effects of sun damage. Their use is in no way limited to brands you might find on the shelves at Whole Foods: From the rare Madagascan vanilla planifolia at the heart of Chanel's Sublimage range, which contains a high level of anti-aging molecules called polyketones, to the rejuvenating black algae found in Givenchy's Le Soin Noir, to the patented combination of botanicals in Sisley's new $750 Supremÿa La Nuit (which in vitro tests have shown to extend the life span of cells), these ingredients are doing the heavy lifting in some of the most costly and cuttingedge cosmetics available.
"Plants are nature's chemists," says Lieve Declercq, PhD, Origins' global spokesperson of plant physiology and molecular biology. "They have evolved to withstand inclement environments and to regenerate when damagedthey're the ultimate multitaskers. And while synthetics usually only have one targeted function, natural ingredients tend to have a whole array of benefits." Furthermore, what exists in nature can't always be reproduced in a test tube. As Red Flower founder and CEO Yael Alkalay says, "The makeup of botanical matter is very hard to mimic. Take, for example, spirulina: It contains vitamins, sugar, iron, sodium, copper, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and oxygen. You can't create that same structure in a labthere are too many things going on."
It's little surprise that many of the plants that are proving to be most potent are those with long histories of traditional use. For example, science is validating what women such as Sila and her fellow Pacific Islanders already know: Coconut oil's unrivaled moisturizing effect on hair is due to its unique molecular structure, which enables it to penetrate breaks and help prevent protein and water loss within each shaft, while the abundant medium chain triglycerides it contains serve as a replacement for lipids lost to aging and dehydration in the skin's barrier. Says Vermén M. Verallo-Rowell, MD, author of Rx: Coconuts! (The Perfect Health Nut), "Coconuts are rich in growth factors, including kinetina plant hormone that promotes cell division and that has been shown to slow age-related changes in human skin cells in vitro and in vivo." Additionally, the antibacterial monolaurins in coconut oil outperform isopropyl alcohol as an antiseptic, making it a soothing acne-fighter and nondrying natural alternative to Purell.
"With the help of twenty-first-century science, we continue to discover new active components within natural ingredients that have been known for centuries," says Warren Wallo, associate director of scientific affairs for Johnson & Johnson Consumer and publisher of extensive clinical trials for Aveeno. "The Greeks and Romans knew that adding oats to bathwater would soften skin, but now we know why: Oats contain cleansing plant compounds called saponins, calming beta-glucans, proteins that bind to the skin to form a protective barrier, and anti-inflammatory avenanthramides. With this knowledge, we can formulate the ingredients so that they can deliver their benefits in the most efficacious way."
The commonly touted (some might even say garden-variety) active naturals are chiefly those with the greatest amount of independent research backing them up. Green tea, now headlining everything from lip balm to shampoo, is thought to be a veritable time reversing dynamo thanks to compounds called epicatechins, which studies have shown to neutralize free radicals before they can damage cells and to deprive tumors of the nutrients needed for growth. Certain mushrooms have long been known for their skin calming qualities but are increasingly sprouting up in targeted anti-aging products. Organically grown varieties such as chaga, reishi, and maitake have been shown to boost immune function in cells, while the latter is said to increase cellular repair activity in the skin. Licorice extract, which contains anti-inflammatory pigment inhibitor glabridin, is a key component in a host of gentle skinbrighteners, while soy, the star ingredient in Aveeno's Positively Radiant range, contains proteins that prevent the development of sun spots as well as compounds that bolster hyaluronic acid and collagen.
As these ingredients gain more currency, the net is being cast ever wider in the search for the next powerhouse plant. At this very moment, there are scores of ethnobotanists picking their way through the flora of farflung jungles, gathering information on traditional uses of little-known vines, testing tree bark and flower stems, while labbound phytochemists are poring over medical journals, looking for idea-sparking studies. Declercq was inspired to investigate mimosa tenuiflorawhich ultimately became the star ingredient in Origins' new Starting Over Age-erasing Moisturizer with Mimosa after reading that the Red Cross had endorsed the use of mimosa bark extract to speed the recovery of burns, wounds, and infections following a major earthquake in Mexico in 1985. "I thought, Clearly this has a repair capacity," Declercq remembers. "And what we found in our lab is that it is a very potent stimulator of collagen synthesis. It acts very quickly, with long-lasting clinical benefits." Similarly, when a colleague told her that Russian soldiers and astronauts enhanced their stamina and energy with a tea made from rhodiola, a yellow-flowered plant that grows high in the remote mountains of Siberia, she decided to test it to see if it had similarly invigorating effects on skin cells. "We discovered that rhodiola's phytonutrients help skin rebound from stresses such as fatigue and UV exposure by restoring firmness and elasticity," says Declercq, whose team put the active to work in Youthtopia SPF 15 Skin Firming Foundation with Rhodiola. "We can often find a parallel between the properties that a plant has when internally and its external effects," she says.

Big bats power Woodlan win
The sky wasn't the only thing pouring in Monroe Tuesday night.
Woodlan, powered by the thunderous bats of Haley Hostetler and Logan Smead, rained on Adams Central's conference hopes as the Warriors scored early and often in a 15-1 thumping of the Jets in a game that lasted only five innings.
Hostetler finished her night 3-for-3 with two doubles and one home run. Smead finished 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs. Both players drove in five runs each.
Woodlan (4-0, 1-0 ACAC) finished the game with 16 hits, 11 of them coming against Central starter Sydnee Peterson.

Our Midlands Area Director, Peter Knott, tells us how we need to share our stories in order to keep making the case for public investment in arts and culture.
I think we would all agree that we are working in a time of economic challenge, but opportunities, possibilities and above all a positive future remain obtainable. These are extraordinary times and we need to find extraordinary solutions.
Jane Trowell from art activist organisation Platform looks at some of the ethical issues surrounding arts funding.
Theatre-maker and writer, Lucy Neal is working on a handbook mapping creative practices that inspire a sustainable future. Here she describes a residency with other artists at the Arvon Foundation retreat. Playing For Time is funded by Arts Council England and Transition Network, in partnership with Arvon, the Centre for Alternative Technology and the new economics foundation.
Last week I attended two presentations given to Arts Council England Relationship Managers by Catherine Langabeer, Operations Director at Julie's Bicycle. Her talk focused on the background to why Sustainability matters, what the arts council is asking of organisations and how Julie's Bicycle helps to deliver this.
Unfortunately the catalyst for collaboration across our sector has often been finance rather than creative zeal. As the current context demonstrates, faced with future financial austerity we are once again attempting to co-operate across and within arts forms (and with the Arts Council) to get our financial arguments heard in government rather than to fully embrace collaborative working as a long-term organisational development strategy.

Terrorism: Boston Marathon explosion; 3 killed, 130 wounded. Undefined as terrorism: Texas Adair fertilizer plant explosion; 14 killed, $100 million in damages. Causation: illegal storage of ammonium nitrates. Since Newtown at least 71 children killed with guns. Which is more terrifying?
All health care employees that steal from the elderly need to have their sentence doubled. Taking advantage of those that can't defend themselves is beyond cruel.
Ex-Lake County Clerk Thomas Philpot continues to appeal his conviction for theft and mail fraud. He should just shut up and serve his remaining one-year or so sentence.
Tom Philpot is asking to have his conviction thrown out, again, calling it entirely speculation. When will the judge tell him he is wasting the court's time?
Commissioner Michael Repay would not vote to veto a county income tax even though he said he would when he was running for office in 2012. That makes him a liar.
Mark Sanford won the race in South Carolina because he had the "R" behind his name. That was more important than his sordid past.
Sorry Republicans — the AP wiretap "scandal" is nothing more than the Patriot Act in action.
Hallelujah. We have Biblical confirmation those who can't drive the roundabout are part of the lost tribes of Israel. Now, call the embassy and we can have them shipped home.

Natasha Leggero
Natasha Leggero brings a great comedy combo to her performances: glamour, spunk and silliness. Leggero is one of the most popular touring comedians, performing stand-up nationwide.
On top of her touring, Leggero has numerous appearances on television. She's a regular round table guest on Chelsea Lately. Other appearances include numerous stand-up spots on The Tonight Show, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and Comedy Central's Premium Blend. She also served as a judge for season 7 of Last Comic Standing.
Some of Leggero's most fun performances are her stints playing various crazy deviants on the several year run on Comedy Central's past hit, Reno 911! Leggero's other acting roles include appearances on Fox's 'Til Death, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Samantha Who, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Sarah Silverman Program, Nick Swardson's Pretend Time and a supporting role in the feature film, He's Just Not That Into You. She is also a starring voice for Comedy Central's animated series, Ugly Americans.
Leggero is a unique stand-up in the comedy landscape, joyfully bringing some style to the proceedings. Her stylistic look and diminutive on-stage stature is a fun match to her fun filled comedy, often taking down society's failings and a fearless willingness to act silly during performances.

RakiRaki Ramen – San Diego (Convoy Area)
Their name is certainly intriguing! Rakiraki Ramen is tucked into the heart of the Convoy area and surrounded by numerous other Asian restaurants.
There weren't a lot of people when we got there, but the place filled out by the time we left. There are tables and a bar area that face the kitchen.
The first thing we tried was the Chicken Karage. The portion size was decent and the chicken was crispy and hot. I would definitely get it again.
We also tried out the softshell crab roll. The presentation was nice, but both Darren and I found the flavor lacking.
I ordered up the spicy tsukeman (dipping noodles) with pork belly. It was quite tasty and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I've never had this type of ramen before. I guess for the uninitiated it could be called a deconstructed ramen. My only criticism is that the broth could have been hotter. Once you dip the noodles into the broth, the temperature starts dropping. So, it would have been perfect if it started out super hot. The broth wasn't too spicy and the pork belly added a nice meat element to the dish. The noodles where well cooked and you can use some lime to squeeze on top to give it a refreshing pop. I'd definitely recommend this one.
Darren ordered the premium ramen with pork. He seemed to enjoy it also.
The service was pretty good and their special filtered water was a nice compliment to our lunch.
Just adjacent to the kitchen is a snow angel stand with frozen treats like mochi ice cream, frozen carmelized brulee, and snow made with soy. I didn't have room to try it out this time, but maybe next time.

• What it is: An alternative form of currency that can be exchanged in the open market and used to buy goods. It is not backed by the U.S. government and is all electronic — there is no physical bitcoin.
• How you get it: Users can buy or sell bitcoins on several exchanges using dollars or other currency. They can also be "mined," in which high-powered machines perform math problems in search of new coins.
• How to pay with it: Bitcoins are transferred between digital wallets, which can be stored on mobile phones or computers. Senders create unique codes on their phones, showing the amount requested and wallet address. Recipients approve the transaction by scanning the codes with their own device.
• How it's valued: Bitcoins can be converted to traditional currencies on various exchanges. The value of one bitcoin this week passed $400.
• What it can buy: Not much, so far. A small number of local merchants accept bitcoins. On social-news website Reddit, users can use it to buy Reddit Gold, which lets visitors shut off ads and add other feature.
• Is it taxable: The IRS has yet to issue rules on the reporting of bitcoin transactions. But the U.S. Government Accountability Office published a report in the spring that says goods or services purchased with the digital currency could produce taxable income. Bitcoin miners also may be earning taxable income, the GAO adds.
Sources: bitcoin.org, en.bitcoin.it/wiki, reddit.com
Scott Nguyen emerges from a salon chair at Splitends Salon in downtown Santa Ana to pay for his freshly cut hair. For the past 20 years, the Laguna Hills resident has gotten the same trim every three or four weeks from the same guy. The only change is that about six months ago, Nguyen started paying in digital cash.
Today's haircut will cost 0.1285 bitcoin.
Salon owner and stylist Christopher Hall creates a unique code on his smartphone showing that amount and the address of his digital wallet. Nguyen scans the code with an app on his own mobile device to approve the transaction. Within seconds, the sound of clinking coins from Hall's phone signals a completed deal.
"Now that was super-boring, but that's real money," Hall says.
Hall is part of a small and slowly growing club of Orange County merchants who accept the new form of digital money. Nguyen, a bitcoin enthusiast who convinced Hall to make the leap, is determined to convert more local businesses and build up the currency's legitimacy.
Bitcoins — which are not backed by the U.S. government and are generated by solving math problems with computers — aren't physical currency, but they can be used to buy a variety of goods.
That includes Amazon gift cards, organic deodorant — even children. Dr. C. Terence Lee, a fertility specialist in Brea, grabbed national headlines in June after claiming he made the first "bitcoin baby." Lee said the child was conceived through fertility services paid for with the virtual currency.
For true believers, bitcoin signifies freedom from the control of big banks and government. That especially resonates with Americans who lost faith in those institutions following the financial collapse, said Brett Florio, co-founder of e-commerce service company FoxyCart, which began to take bitcoins this spring.
"There's much frustration toward the financial sector," said Florio, a former Seal Beach resident whose clients include mega-nonprofit groups World Wildlife Fund and Oxfam America. "It's not hard to look to bitcoin to see the appeal to a wide variety of people across the political spectrum."
Critics point out that without the government to back it up, bitcoin's value can wildly fluctuate based on the enthusiasm and speculation of its users. The only U.S. regulation tied to the currency so far requires operators of bitcoin exchanges, where they can be traded for dollars, to register as "money transmitters."
"If it's suddenly worthless, too bad, we don't care. Not our problem," said UC Irvine's social sciences dean Bill Maurer, who also heads UC Irvine's Institute for Money, Technology & Financial Inclusion. "If your bitcoins get stolen, too bad."
Lately, the value of bitcoins has been soaring. Worth about $12 in December, a bitcoin now trades for more than $400. Some of the demand is coming from China following the announcement that Baidu, that nation's largest Internet search engine, would accept the digital currency for certain services.
At the same time, a new report surfaces every few days of a spectacular bitcoin theft from someone's computer. This week, the sudden disappearance of a bitcoin exchange in China left users high and dry. The FBI shut down an online marketplace called Silk Road last month and arrested its alleged founder. The website allowed visitors to buy drugs and guns with bitcoins, said federal officials, who seized $28.5 million worth of the digital currency.
"It's been a pretty wild ride so far," said Lana Swartz, a USC researcher who co-published a paper on bitcoins this year with UCI's Maurer.
If you're thinking about joining the bitcoin bandwagon, be prepared to spend some money.
Nguyen, the salon client, keeps more than 20 machines running nonstop at his home to "mine" bitcoins, a resource-heavy method of accessing the digital currency. Those "miners" contain computer chips that perform rapid successions of calculations to go through all previous bitcoin transactions featured in a universally trusted ledger.

In 1964, Antioch College was pioneered one hundred and twelve years earlier by Horace Mann in Yellow Springs, Ohio. The institution stretched its educational reach beyond undergraduate instruction and launched a new graduate school charged with a unique mission. The school, dubbed Antioch-Putney, would not just simply educate students, it would also put that education into action for the betterment of the community by making hands-on, real world application of its teaching a part of its degree programs.
That first class of roughly two dozen students, all pursuing master's degrees in education, were sent to schools throughout the region not only to gain experience in the practice of teaching but also to provide instruction to underserved, rural communities.
Today AUNE is flourishing near the banks of the Ashuelot River in a remodeled furniture factory in Keene, New Hampshire and is better known as Antioch University New England, a thriving institution of 1,000 students that contributes roughly $30 million a year to the local and regional economy.
Students in all thirteen master's degree programs and three doctoral programs offered at AUNE complete as many as 600 hours of practical experience related to their fields. Examples of this work range from students in the Environmental Studies program helping local towns protect drinking water supplies to psychologists in training offering low-cost counseling services to all who seek them. This allows AUNE students to make a difference while they are in school.
Antioch University New England's community service doesn't stop with its students. The institution, itself, has also pledged resources and its considerable brain trust to enhancing civic institutions and participation both in the Monadnock Region and across the globe. Perhaps the most concrete example of that commitment is the Antioch New England Institute (ANEI), which was launched eleven years ago to encourage greater community engagement in such areas as local government, education, and environmental protection.
Much has changed since the early days but Antioch University New England's vision remains unchanged. In 2009, Antioch University transferred ownership of Antioch College of Ohio, allowing it to become independent of Antioch University, yet founded upon a shared history.
Today, Antioch University is a five-campus university located in four states. Each campus has its own distinct academic programs, community life, and regional or national identity. Antioch University is founded on principles of rigorous liberal arts education, innovative experiential learning, and socially engaged citizenship.

The Bachelor Pad: Episode 104 Sneak Peek
'Bachelor Pad' co-host Melissa Rycroft talks about the level of drama on the show and just what she's expecting.
Episode 104 sneak peek
Episode 103:clips
Episode 105
Buckle your seat belt for the most shocking finale in Bachelor Pad history, as the final two couples - Sarah and Chris and Rachel and Nick - face their former housemates, who will vote to decide which couple will advance to the final round for a chance to win $250,000. Tensions will run high, tears will flow and two housemates will come to blows as some of the most memorable and notorious contestants sit down in the hot seat to hash out their drama from the season. Find out which couples are still together when the house relationships are put in the spotlight.
Also Available On Amazon Instant Video and VUDU
With $250,000 close at hand and a shocking victory in a karaoke challenge, a conflicted contestant must choose between strategy and loyalty… and possibly betray a best friend. This week offers two challenges. The first is a "sudden death" dangling competition in which competitors depend on their partners' knowledge of Bachelor Pad trivia to keep them from plummeting down into a pool. The second challenge is a karaoke competition, played out in front of a crowd of 500 at a legendary Hollywood concert venue - with a very special surprise guest. The couple who receives roses at the end can decide who to take with them to the finals, but trust vanishes when the couple can't agree on whether to go with loyalty or strategy.
Also Available On Amazon Instant Video and VUDU
A house rivalry heats up, leading to a surprise elimination. The week's challenge puts the contestants up on stage to perform in a spelling bee. If the couple everyone wants to see gone wins the challenge, the stronger alliance will have no choice but to cut out one of its own couples when the stakes rise. One-on-one dates include a romantic hoedown at a barn and a day exploring the beauty of the Channel Islands.
Also Available On Amazon Instant Video and VUDU
Contestants compete this week to stack tea cups in a challenge titled "Great Fall of China." One-on-one dates include a jewel-splashed Pretty Woman–style tour of Los Angeles and a night roughing it at a remote campsite. Love is blooming all around the
house, but a shocking twist during the cocktail party sends one confident player scrambling for survival.
Also Available On Amazon Instant Video and VUDU
This week's challenge gets personal when contestants answer highly controversial questions about each other in pursuit of a rose. Awaiting the winners are the first 1-on-1 dates - one date is to play ball at Dodger Stadium; the other is an action-packed movie adventure in downtown L.A.
