Issues with allocating from 18.104.22.168/8
This week it was announced that IANA has allocated 22.214.171.124/8 to APNIC. This prefix must look familiar to many as we see it often in examples and documentation. And let's be honest haven't you used 188.8.131.52 on one of your test routers to quickly test something? Receiving a prefix from this range might result in […]Read More

Does the United States Department of Defense (DoD) Monitor their prefixes?

How accurate are the Internet Route Registries (IRR)
Many service providers use an IRR to register their routes and to create BGP filters. These filters define what they will accept from customers or peers.

In the journal of my misery, each sorrow competes for the first place in length and strength.Ivo Andric
Bear sorrows and calamities patiently, otherwise you will never be happy.Ali bin Abu-Talib
O soldier and hero of God, where for thee is sorrow or shame or suffering? For thy life is a glory, thy deeds a consecration, victory thy apotheosis, defeat thy triumph.Sri Aurobindo
We are no longer the same, you wiser but not sadder, and I sadder but not wiser, for wiser I could hardly become without grave personal inconvenience, whereas sorrow is a thing you can keep adding to all your life long, is it not, like a stamp or an egg collection, without feeling very much the worse for it, is it not.Samuel Beckett
How stupid it was for the king to tear out his hair in grief, as if baldness were a cure for sorrow.Bion of Borysthenes
The busy bee has no time for sorrow.William Blake
Then he turned and walked away, and I gazed after him in sorrow. Dont look so, girl. Hes the first to fall at your feet; he will not be the lastAlice Borchardt

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A Los Angeles newscaster apologized to Samuel L. Jackson for confusing him with fellow actor Laurence Fishburne during a live TV interview.
KTLA entertainment reporter Sam Rubin was interviewing Jackson on Monday morning about the film "RoboCop" when he asked the actor if he'd gotten a lot of reaction to his recent Super Bowl commercial.
When Jackson asked, "What Super Bowl commercial?" Rubin realized his mistake and began to apologize. But it was too late.
"You're as crazy as the people on Twitter," an animated Jackson, who was doing the interview by satellite from Atlanta, told Rubin. "I'm not Laurence Fishburne. We don't all look alike. We may be all black and famous but we don't all look alike."
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
As Rubin, who is white, tried to apologize, a smiling Jackson went on at length, listing various black actors and their commercials. Video of the exchange quickly went viral.
"I'm the 'What's in Your Wallet,' black guy," he said of his own commercial for a credit-card company. "He's the car black guy. "Morgan Freeman is the other credit-card black guy. You only hear his voice, though, so you probably won't confuse him with Laurence Fishburne."
Fishburne, as the character Morpheus from the "Matrix" movies, appeared in the Super Bowl commercial for Kia automobiles.
The pair eventually got back to talking about "RoboCop," with Jackson telling Rubin how highly he regards Michael Keaton and Gary Oldman, who appear in the film with him.
"You do know who they all are though, right?" he teased. "Just in case they have some of them on the show. Do some work. Do some research. Make sure you don't confuse them with those other white actors."
When he returned to the air 30 minutes later, Rubin apologized profusely, saying he has interviewed Jackson several times and does indeed know who he is.
"I really pride myself on the fact that unlike a lot of people who do this kind of work, more often than not I really do know what I'm talking about," he said. "But I didn't 30 minutes ago and I'm really embarrassed about it, and I very much apologize to Samuel L. Jackson and anyone else who was offended for what was a very amateur mistake."

Alec Baldwin promoted 30 Rock and his SNL hosting gig tomorrow night (so excited!) on Conan last night, and, after starting the show off with a Joaquin Phoenix impression, launched into the differences between New York and Conan's new home in LA ("You have to drive everywhere.

The interview ended with a special guest, though, who came out and "took care of" Alec Baldwin's running Conan-guest character.

North America's Class 8 truck net orders in March totaled 21,817 units, dropping 4 percent compared to the previous month, but increasing 11 percent year-over-year, according to FTR Associates' preliminary data.
"The March orders came in above 21,000 units, which is a good sign for the near-term," said Eric Starks, FTR's president, in a written statement. "We didn't expect orders to fall from recent levels, however, it is good to see actual data suggesting the market has stabilized with more upside potential for the second half of the year."
"The next few months' orders will be critical in understanding the demand pressure as move into the summer," Starks continued. "If orders come in nearer to 25,000 units for the next three months, it would make us feel more comfortable about moving our forecast higher for the second half of the year."

Increasing numbers of individuals, from a wide variety of disciplines and occupational settings, identify themselves as participants in the field of injury prevention and treatment rooted in the intellectual perspectives and methods of public health. When the CDC and the Johns Hopkins University convened the First National Conference on Injury Control in 1981, it was attended by approximately 25 individuals, representing about half of all of those working in the field at the time. In comparison, more than 900 people participated in the November 1997 Safe America Conference. The National Directory of Injury Prevention Professionals lists 1,234 individuals in its 1992 edition (Children's Safety Network, 1992).
It also appears that the injury field has achieved a significant degree of cohesion, notwithstanding the diversity of disciplines and the variety of specialized spheres of interest. The field has drawn together specialists interested in various domains of prevention (e.g., highway safety, fire safety, product safety, occupational safety, child injury, and violence and suicide prevention) as well as basic scientists and clinicians interested in various types of trauma (e.g., burns, orthopedic injuries, and head injuries). As has occurred in the cancer field, these specialists have come to see scientific, programmatic, and political advantages to characterizing injury as a single "disease." The growing cohesion of the field (within public health) is evidenced by the growth of the Injury Control and Emergency Health Services section within the American Public Health Association, and the development of the field is reflected in, and symbolized by, the 10 multidisciplinary injury control research centers (ICRCs) established over the past decade by the CDC (see Chapter 8).
Links between researchers and practitioners are also developing. National conferences in the field draw together science and practice in both prevention and treatment. The ICRCs have played an important role in this effort, holding conferences for practitioners and facilitating the implementation and evaluation of interventions. In addition, several journals are now devoted exclusively to the field, including the Journal of Safety Research, Injury Prevention, Accident Analysis and Prevention, and the Journal of Trauma, and an increasing amount of space is devoted to injury-related articles in journals with general professional readerships, including the American Journal of Public Health, Pediatrics, the Journal of the American Medical Association , and the New England Journal of Medicine.
Another intriguing aspect of the emergence and composition of the injury field has been the close collaboration of prevention and treatment. An analogous development has occurred in the fields of cancer and heart disease. One might say that these partnerships can be explained entirely as expressions of political self-interest. Voices raised in support of injury prevention (including fire prevention, violence and suicide prevention, etc.) and in support of trauma care and rehabilitation are most likely to be heard if they are raised in unison. But the committee believes that much more than political strength would be lost if the

'Renoir': Handsome picture lacks dramatic strokes
A movie review of "Renoir," a lightweight look at the great painter toward the end of his life.
San Francisco Chronicle
Movie Review
'Renoir,' with Michel Bouquet, Christa Theret, Vincent Rottiers. Directed by Gilles Bourdos, from a screenplay by Bourdos and Jérôme Tonnerre, based on a book by Jacques Renoir. 111 minutes. Rated R for sequences of art-related nudity and brief language. In French, with English subtitles. SIFF Cinema at the Uptown.
Handsomely mounted but dramatically anemic, Gilles Bourdos' "Renoir" offers some modest rewards, though its treatment of artistic endeavor, the lure of the flesh and generational issues finally feels lightweight.
The story takes place toward the end of Pierre-Auguste Renoir's life, when the great painter was in a wheelchair and his household helpers — seen here as a lively group of affectionate women — were required to tie his brush to his arthritic hand.
It's the summer of 1915, and Renoir (Michel Bouquet), 74, continues to paint as he copes with the ravages of age. Two arrivals will shake up the household. The first is a beautiful young woman, Andrée (Christa Theret), a rebellious soul seeking work as a model. She poses for the old man, often nude, and he grows to like her.
Then, Renoir's son Jean (Vincent Rottiers), a cavalry officer, returns home to nurse a leg injured on the battlefield. Jean, something of a stiff, begins to fall for Andrée, who has a bit of a conniving streak, and they begin a romance.
Eventually, we'll see Andrée awaken Jean's interest in film — yes, this is the same Jean Renoir who would go on to direct "The Rules of the Game" and other masterworks.
Before the affair, there's a mild tug of war between father and son for Andrée's attentions, and later an open and heated conflict between the men over Jean's intention to return to the front.
The venerable Bouquet and Theret create some interest in their characters, and the portrayal of the artist's household has touching and amusing moments. But overall the film has a sedative effect. While trying to avoid old-school dramatic fireworks, filmmaker Bourdos errs in the opposite direction. A movie about two supreme artists needs a little more sting.

The Herron Project – A local club restores a veteran's Galaxie
On Saturday, August 4, members of the Pottstown (PA) Classics Car Club gave Brad Herron his car back. The car was a 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 two-door hardtop with a 289 – a nice car. But Brad had not had a nice time. Brad spent six and a half years as a parachute infantryman with the 82nd Airborne, including stints in Iraq in 2004 and Afghanistan in 2003. He came back with severe post-traumatic stress disorder and has been working with other disabled vets ever since.
Brad had bought the Galaxie as a project car, but wasn't getting anywhere with it, and in 2010 his wife, Dina, approached Pottstown Classics for help. Because their motto is "Serving the Community Through our Hobby" and because they've been focusing on charitable donations, they leaped on the project. They attracted sponsors and held fundraisers, including benefit shows.
When they first picked up the car, they did an homage to Overhaulin': "We told Brad that the condo association hired us to remove the uninspected, oil-dripping vehicle from the premises," they said. This and the first part of the story are documented in a video from the club. The rest can be found in a long minisite and photo gallery.
The club is so proud of their work that they say every single club in the country should adopt a veteran and a car. If you'd like to be a part of such a thing, contact the PCCC and they'll discuss with you some of the challenges and how to overcome them. Brad has said he'd like to figure out how to use his car to help other vets.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1963 Ford Galaxie 500
One more hairy-chested FoMoCo product to continue with this week's theme of blackwalls and dog dishes. This time, we're breaking from Mercury to take a look at this 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 for sale on Hemmings.com, a car that dispenses with the air conditioning, eschews the automatic transmission, and gulps air and fuel through dual four-barrel carburetors. From the photos, it looks like somebody went to a lot of trouble to make this car just so. From the seller's description:
R-Code 427-cu.in., 2×4-barrel, four-speed sideloader, drag car is as new as they get. She has been through a very extensive, meticulous and correct restoration as you shall see by the following pictures.

Tom Kitchen's NASCAR tribute cars
Mea culpa. I'll admit that I never knew how common it is in the South to see clones of famous NASCAR cars until a couple of weeks ago, when I wrote about the 1957 Ford done up as a Fireball Roberts car headed for Mecum's Kissimmee auction later this month. In the ensuing comments on the authenticity of that car (or lack thereof), we heard from Tom Kitchen of Tampa, Florida, a guy who should know a thing or two about cloning Fireball Roberts cars – he's built four such tributes to his favorite driver, including a clone of the 1957 Ford in question.
Tom, who grew up in Ohio, said he's been into cars since he was 14, some 56 years ago, and since then he's bought and sold more than 4,000 cars. His fascination with Fireball Roberts began when he saw Roberts run at the Dayton Speedway in 1957. "I always wanted a car like that," he said. However, it wasn't until a few years after he moved to Florida and saw how frequently Southerners cloned their favorite cars that he got it into his head to build a Fireball Roberts '57 Ford.
"That was my first, which I built in 2005," he said. "It was already red and white, so it was a natural for a Fireball Roberts car."
He didn't just yank the lights and plaster it with stickers. Rather, he conducted countless hours of research, leading him to Roberts's daughter, Pam, and one of Roberts's contemporaries, Marvin Panch, in his search for absolute authenticity.
After that, at Pam's request, Tom started to build a 1956 Ford two-door sedan to Fireball Roberts specifications, nearly completing it before Pam died, followed by a 1957 Ford convertible to Fireball Roberts spec, which he partially completed before he sold it to another Fireball Roberts fan.
Tom seems most proud, however, of the Fireball Roberts Battlebird that he built.
While Tom's had to sell off the rest of his NASCAR tribute cars in recent years, he's held on to the Battlebird, which, according to Tom, replicates a car that Roberts drove just once – at Daytona in April of 1959 for Holman-Moody. Tom has it running on a two-barrel carburetor, but he said he has the correct Hilborn fuel-injection unit for it and will likely get around to installing it one of these days.
He hasn't limited himself to Fireball Roberts cars. He also built a 1963-1/2 Ford Galaxie, patterned after the one that Fred Lorenzen drove, as well as a clone of the so-called Starlifter, a 1962 Ford Galaxie convertible with a 1961 Ford Starliner roof grafted to it for reduced wind resistance – reportedly the more aerodynamic Starliner roof was good for 7 MPH at the top end. According to lore, Holman and Moody built a handful of the roofs in fiberglass, and Ford was about to market them as accessories for the Galaxie convertibles when NASCAR officials banned the roofs – but only after Lorenzen won the 1962 Atlanta race with a Starlifter. Tom couldn't find a fiberglass Starlifter roof, so he just cut a metal roof off a Starliner and adapted it to the Galaxie.
Tom said he'd often take his cars to local shows in addition to the 60 or so nostalgic race meets per year across the South, at which the builders of these NASCAR tribute cars get a chance to show them off and often drive them on the same tracks that the real cars once ran. One of the largest such meets, Tom said, is the one put on by the Living Legends of Racing Club in Daytona on the Tuesday of Speedweek there. "We gather for a small show, then go down to the beach for a parade," Tom said. "They also rope off a section where we get to open the cars up for a little bit."
Rarely do the builders of the cars try to pass them off as real, Tom said. "There are so many tell-tale signs," he said. "Plus, all the real ones are pretty much known – we've only heard of three or four real ones pop up over the last couple years. These cars just got beat up and thrown away, or made obsolete by rule changes."
Still, they require plenty of resources. Tom estimates that he's spent 1,500 to 2,000 hours building each of his tribute cars, and he's heard of guys putting upwards of $50,000 to $60,000 into their cars. "But then they couldn't get $30,000 out of it," he said. "What are you gonna do with them? You can't drive them on the street."
Even though Tom's down to just one tribute car now, he said he's trying to buy the red-and-white 1957 Ford back, and he would like to build one more Fireball Roberts tribute car: a 1961 Ford Starliner that Roberts ran in the Sportsman Class in 1964 with a Chrysler Hemi under the hood.
"It'd knock everybody's socks off," he said.
These cars saved – a report from the Maxwell junkyard auction
Back in May, we told you about the pending liquidation sale of an entire junkyard in Maxwell, Nebraska, warning that it'd be the last chance to save a 50-year collection of cars from the crusher. The auction took place in July, and while we heard a few tidbits about the sale through comments left on the post, we didn't get a clearer picture of what happened there until recently, when Doug Kielian wrote in to tell us about the 1960 Rambler station wagon and 12 other vehicles he bought at the sale. The funny thing is, Doug only went to the sale to promote his Roller Hoop auto rotisserie and had no plans to come back with any cars, but couldn't stand to see them all junked. Doug wrote:
The Rambler wagon was the sixth unit to sell, and I just couldn't stand to hear the auctioneer say for the fourth time, "No sale, put C on it!" So I put my hand up and it was mine about that quick, for $350, because no one else was buying! I bought three more right quick just to save them from the Big C (crusher): a cute little '62 Buick Special two-door, rough but complete; a '69 Buick Wildcat just because the fastback roof line is so cool I couldn't stand to see it get hammered, plus it has the 430 V-8 still intact with carb, air cleaner and all; then a 1960 Dodge Pioneer four-door, beat up, rough, no engine. But for $275, I'll cut it up and save the rear clip to build a nice couch out of it. One of my young trainees and I cut it up the next day on site – pulled any good trim inside and out, radio, push buttons, and misc. – then left the remains for the Big C so they loaded the rest of my bargains for no charge – they were getting $10 or $20 to fork lift and set on your trailer.
In the second row, I stayed away from the Chevy Impalas, thinking they would go to some hard core Chevy guys, but as it turned out no one bid on them, so they got crushed – four-door units, but still they had nice grilles, bumpers, trim, etc. I'm kind of a Ford guy, but I was sick to see them all battered and stacked up waiting to get crushed! There were just a few guys there from out of state who were buying what they could, but every third or fourth car was going to the crusher. I stopped the auctioneer twice and spoke to the crowd to jump in and buy some of these just to at least cut off the front or rear clip and make a couch out of them for their man cave or to hang the front nose on the wall of their garage, something to keep the car's memory in this world! Because once they get crushed, chewed into bits and sent overseas, they're gone! Oh, they do come back to us as cheap toasters, and lawn furniture at Wally World!
I wasn't surprised but was disappointed there were only about three or four younger guys there milling about. I tried talking to two of them, who were looking at two really nice 1968 and 1969 Lincoln suicide four doors in remarkable condition with NO rust! I said "There you go, those cars are chick magnets!" trying to fit in with their culture. Within a few minutes those two cars were up for sale, and I encouraged the two to get their hands up and win the bid! But the dad to one of them was right there and seemed to put a damper on the attempt! You guessed it, a big C on both of them, totally complete and in good shape. It was a shame; $350 would have saved each one! A few minutes later, I was the owner of a '53 Lincoln four-door, solid car, complete; a '62 Fairlane with the 260; '64 F-100 short box with a V-8 and the old shoebox four-barrel carb still there; a 1935 Ford flat bed truck with the factory Ford bed the wood was shot but the metal frame PERFECT; a '55 Ford four-door wagon; '56 Ford two-door; two '59 Ford Galaxie two-doors; and one '63 Auto Union for $175 because it was small and had no driveline, but it's cool as heck and different, kinda like an Amphicar, and who would have ever thought those would bring six figures!
There was a family with a 12-year-old son who bought a '56 Ford two-door for a family project, so that was good to see – I took a picture of the moment. Nobody had any love for the Corvairs – they all ended up flattened. I stayed away from the rest of the sale and the big trucks because I was in enough trouble as it was. Little did I think I would get caught up in it as I did. But I don't see it, as I bought 13 units. I saved them from certain doom! There's not much glory in stunts like this, so you better be in love with old classic junk that you can see some potential in, and you better be able to prove to the boss (wife) that it will be worth it someday! I keep telling myself that it's all worth it to see another young person take interest and do positive things with this industry. Oh, and those two young guys at the sale came up to me later all excited and told me they bought a '56 Ford truck to save! They were as giddy as a couple of school girls! I hope they stick with it and make something out of it.
I went back to the site a few times to get my prizes and took a few pictures of the aftermath. It was hard to look at. The message here is get out and save one old car in your life! You don't have to restore it, maybe just tinker with it make it a little better, clean it up a bit and sell it to the guy who couldn't get to the sale. You might make a buck and have some fun at the same time! If you have young kids, take them to a sale and let them pick one out; it will keep them off the street – well, for a while, anyway, but on a good path and that's what it's all about.
As for the Rambler, Doug said it
is a bit rusty in the rockers but very savable. Not everything has to be restored – there is nothing wrong with fixing it up to be a safe driver and keep the look as it is!
This would also be a perfect candidate to use a late model, '02-up driveline, floor pan, dash, etc., and have all the creature comforts and safety of a modern unit, just housed in this ugly worn-off-paint patina-looking thing! It'll scare most women and children! But it's all about visual impact! And this Rambler has plenty of it! Now, in 20 years or so, we will still have nicely done-up cars at shows and Sunday drivers, but what about a well-weathered classic vehicle like this on the streets as a daily driver or even out in a field? They'll all be gone by then and just stories to tell of how every so often you could find a farm yard full of treasures like this.
Thanks for the report, Doug!
Lightweight 427 Ford Galaxie to cross the block at Mecum's Dallas auction
One of Ford's biggest racing successes has to be the dominance of the lightweight 1964 Ford Galaxie 500s in both stock and super stock drag racing. One of the few examples of this racing dominance will be offered at the upcoming Mecum Auction in Dallas, Texas, taking place October 6-8.
Ford cut weight wherever they could on these cars, using fiberglass doors and fenders, leaving out heaters, radios and clocks, even carpeting; and stock seating was sacrificed in the search for less body weight. Once all possible exterior and interior ounces had been scrubbed, Ford stuck the massive 427/425hp High Riser engine under the hood and added a fiberglass teardrop-shaped hood scoop. The High Riser was also lightened, using forged aluminum pistons and dual-quad aluminum manifold. A large cold air system was added, and then a four-speed toploader was bolted on the back to complete the package. The resulting muscle car (of which only 25 were built) has been winning races and inspiring replica cars ever since.
This rare example of an original 1964 Wimbledon White with red interior lightweight Galaxie 500 should draw bids from muscle-car enthusiasts and factory race-car collectors alike. More information regarding this car and many others being offered at the Dallas auction is available at www.mecum.com.
Some Old Ford
Yesterday's Squire video reminded me that I've yet to run the above video sent over to us by Ben Pender-Cudlip, featuring another Ford, this one a Z-code 1964 Galaxie 500XL.
Itching to Own a Vintage Race Car?
To put it bluntly, vintage race cars are cool. Sure, they may not be for everyone, but they still make up a segment of the collector-car hobby that doesn't seem to have a ceiling right now (we're talking growth and popularity, not an arbitrary figure hampered by the economy). Proof of this – to some degree of accuracy – can be found in Mecum Auctions' online catalog for their upcoming Kissimmee, Florida, auction, which is scheduled for January 26-30, 2011.
Aside from Bruce Larson's 1963 Cobra DragonSnake we already mentioned, Lot S150.1 is sure to draw plenty of attention for the quarter-mile contingent: a Sox & Martin 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda (pictured above) that dominated the Pro Stock ranks. According to the seller this is the 14-win Mopar that has since been subjected to a thorough restoration. Mecum officials project that it'll cross the block at 3:55 on Saturday (Jan. 29) afternoon.
If neither of those tickle your vintage racing dreams of ownership, perhaps one of the other nine-plus racers will, including Lot S197: the hard-to-miss 1972 Ford Pinto campaigned by Bob Glidden – this is the car that won Pro Stock titles in 1974, '75 and '78. Lot F129 is a factory lightweight 1962 Ford Galaxie originally raced by Phil Bonner. Road racers might prefer Lot S108, a 1962 Chevy Corvette that finished third in class at Sebring in '62. For those who like fast wagons, there's Lot F146, a 427-powered 1967 Mercury Comet called "The Collector." Another NHRA record holder is Lot S214, a 1968 Plymouth Hemi Barracuda once owned/driven by "Bullet Bob" Reed. Then there's the former Ed Skelton-owned 1967 Ford Fairlane R-Code lightweight that'll cross the block under the Lot F266 designation. We're still not through, because we have not touched on Lot F163 (a 1964 Mercury A/FX Comet), or Lot S109 (a 1961 Chevy Corvette).
Not shown is Lot S166.1 (Grumpy's 1974 Chevy Vega) or Lot T280 (a race-ready 1987 Alfa Romeo Spyder). And there's no telling what could be added to the catalog in the coming days.
The real cars of NASCAR in the '60s, with Freddie Lorenzen
Kellogg Auto Archive featuring Freddie Lorenzen's Holman-Moody-prepped 1963 Ford Galaxie, as shot by photographer Ralph Poole shortly before the 1963 Motor Trend 500 at Riverside International Raceway, the first 500-mile stock car road race. While a lot of the parts indeed look like what you'd find in any restored 1963 Galaxie today, there's plenty of modifications to delight in and puzzle over, and one would simply have to assume that nothing is as it seems here. As Ron noted when he sent us these photos, Lorenzen drove the No. 28 for testing before the race, but handed over actual driving chores to Dan Gurney, "who knew this track better than the back of his hand." Gurney then proceeded to take the checkered flag – his first win in NASCAR – and pose in the winner's circle with Margie Petersen, then recently wed to Robert Petersen, publisher of Motor Trend.Think the olden days of NASCAR were better simply because the "stock" cars were really stock? Then take a good look through these photos sent to us by Ron Kellogg of the
In addition, we uncovered a nice little six-minute video with several highlights of the race, including plenty of footage of Gurney as well as of many of the crashes "as the drivers tried to figure out the riddle of Riverside."
One quick u-turn later…
Recently, managing editor Kate Sullivan and I headed into eastern Colombia County, New York, to photograph a Driveable Dream for Hemmings Classic Car when we happened upon a small collection of cars on the side of the road. Not wanting to delay the car owner and family, we made a mental note to stop on the way back to our Bennington office.
A couple of hours later, we blew right past the location and nearly gave ourselves whiplash in the process. One minute later, and camera in hand, we quickly scoured the mass of old metal. Lovingly painted in surface rust, they are not exactly in the realm of Driveable Dream; more like a major project, parts, or – dare we say it – the crusher.
Erroneously listed as a '47 Dodge, this '49 Coronet sedan was easily the oldest vehicle on site with an asking price of $1,200. Powered by a straight-six backed by a manual trans, it was essentially complete – minus a few trim items.
According to information scribed on the windshield, this V-8 equipped 1963 Ford Galaxie has power steering and an automatic, all for $1,995 o.b.o. – it also runs and drives, though we opted not to try it for ourselves.
Hard to miss those obnoxious crash bumpers on this 1973 Chevy Malibu – misspelled "Malibou" – with an asking price of $1,300.
The 1974 Toyota Celica ST really caught my attention, mostly due to the rather sizeable concave appearance in the roof. I thought that these no longer existed up here in the northeast, and with an $895 sticker, I wonder how long it will be before the dent becomes a hole.
Nearly lost, but rather obvious in hindsight, was this 1974 Ford Rollback, complete with light bar, 390 and four-speed. It was likely the most expensive offering at $3,995; surface rust and tow damage was free.
More coming up shortly…
Roush introduces crate engine and transmission packages
Roush's Ford in a Ford package mates a Roush crate engine with an automatic overdrive transmission.
It's been several years since the Roush organization became involved with producing crate engines for the hot rod market, and during that period, the company's offerings have grown from the typical 5.0 and Windsor-based fare to include more exotic FE series and late-model modular V-8s. Now Roush has taken the next step toward simplifying drivetrain swaps by creating the "Ford in a Ford" package, which mates a Roush crate engine with an automatic overdrive transmission and comes complete with all of the required hardware and calibration to facilitate installation.
The debut of the program was made using a Roush 511SRFE engine mated to a Ford 4R100 transmission, installed in a 1963 Ford Galaxie convertible. The engine is based on the FE-series and produces 525hp and 575-lbs.ft. of torque while the transmission is a late-model Ford unit with four forward speeds, including overdrive, and electronic controls. The package includes the control unit for the transmission along with the throttle position sensor, wiring harness, performance torque converter, and the calibration to make it work with the carbureted crate engine.
Bob Corn, Roush's project manager for the program and a former Ford engineer from the Total Performance era, explained that the packages were conceived as a means of creating a "plug and play" approach to hot rod and custom muscle car building, allowing consumers to focus on the car and not the hassles of making the new engine and transmission work. There will soon be a full line of these powertrain packages available from Roush; check www.roushperformance.com, for details and updates.

It's been a while. Whoops. The amount of amazing new music lately is insane. I've been sticking with my playlist-making on my SoundCloud channel, so if I'm not blogging and you need new tunes, that's the place to look :)
I'm also working on a "Best of 2014″ list that I've been jotting in my phone for the past few months and will finish up at the end of the year. It'll include my favorite songs, albums, EPs, best new artists etc. for the 2014 year. It's going to be crazy long by the time I finish it, but oh well!
Hmm, what else? Summer's officially over, and I'm thrilled with the number of shows and festivals I was able to attend while working more than 40 hours each week. (Yeah, I made a list. Judge me. I like to keep track of things).
Anyway, I'm going to put a few of my most recent playlists on this blog post and attempt to keep up better in the future!

During Dave Taylor's tenure, he made some pretty shitty deadline deals. Cliff Ronning, Anson Carter. Mark Parrish and Brent Sopel. Nothing blockbuster that catapulted the Kings to anywhere near a Stanley Cup.
Taylor never did give up the farm for a player like Dustin Penner. Instead, he decided to KEEP the likes of Pushkarev, Anshakov, Justin Papineau and Scott Barney
Taylor's drafting is arguably (and we've argued a lot over the years) not as robust as Lombardi's. He (and that slug Al Murray) never saw talent like Dwight King and Jordan Nolan. As a matter of fact, in Dave Taylor's entire nine year tenure as GM, here is his calling card AFTER the 1st round who played 100 games or more: (Looks more like a fight club than an NHL team.)
Joe Corvo
Kip Brennan
George Parros
Brian McGrattan
Frantisek Kaberle
Andreas Lilja
Lubomir Visnovsky
Mike Cammalleri
Cristobal Huet
Jaroslav Bednar
Aaron Rome
Jonathan Quick
In just FOUR seasons, this is what Lombardi and his staff have produced
Dwight King
Alec Martinez
Wayne Simmonds
Andrei Loktionov
Slava Voynov
Kyle Clifford
My guess is Lombardi is in the market for some veteran defense as Sutter admitted in his after-morning-skate interview… "With Robyn and Willie, they give you everything they've got, but they're not kids. And in our schedule, when you're pushing those guys into low 20's, it affects their game, and it affects their performance on back to back nights. We'd seen it last year with Scuds when we used Scuds too much because we didn't have Robyn yet, and we didn't have Willie, and those kids weren't giving us what we needed, and we saw it last year with Robyn where his game dropped off. It's the same thing. If we start pushing Willie and Robyn too many minutes, they're not as effective."
They don't quite have the confidence yet in Manchesters' Bodnarchuk or Schultz, or even Campbell whose development stopped shorter than a Volvo into a brick wall.
Matt Greene looks like he's toast and WHEN he gets hurt in the playoffs, the Kings will be even thinner.
UFA Robyn Regehr cost the Kings TWO 2nd round draft picks. What do you think the market for a veteran defenseman is going to cost the Kings THIS year?
Even more, as the Ducks just lost Sheldon "I'll show you my penis" Souray for the season and will have his salary to spend. Pittsburgh's defense has been a M*A*S*H* unit this season and of the crappy draft-lottery teams with defense, how many are you think they're actually willing to deal? (I'd love Mark Giordano, but he's a Brian Burke type player so he ain't moving).
Who do you trade for?
Bring back JMFJ
Should have been Gleason, when they had the chance.
Pass on Gleason, i'd like to see Girardi but that would cost too much. i'm starting to think the Kings best bet is to make a minor move for a winger (Mason Raymond?). And wait till the off season (When the Cap is 70 Million again) Then sort everything out and let some of the older guys go and maybe sign some NEW blood. I REALLY WANT BOBBY RYAN signed Anything is better then over paying at the deadline (Evander Kane, Vanek or Moulson are not worth the price)
Please no Moulson! The other two I don't mind but whatever happened with the two for two trade with Mtl?
Honestly, I'd LOVE to have Milan Lucic on the Kings. But it will NEVER happen as the price would be too high, and Boston wouldn't be crazy enough to trade him.
Kevin Bieksa
The kings have the best defense in the league. Why bother. We need a second line LW and some shoring up on the third line. Those areas are more important than defense at this point.

DeLAND, Fla. (WKMG) -- A tractor-trailer filled with Hershey's chocolate was stolen in Volusia County, Florida, according to deputies.
Ken Szorosy of DeLand said someone stole his truck and trailer, packed with $120,000 worth of Hershey's chocolate right out of the JD Lewis Trucking Company lot.
The tractor-trailer, with an estimated worth of $90,000, was stolen sometime between 3 p.m. Saturday and 7 a.m. Sunday, deputies said.
"Yea, somebody with a sweet tooth," he told a 911 call operator on Sunday.
Volusia County Sheriff's deputies said the chocolate, described as a variety of Hershey's products, was worth $120,000.
The truck's cab has two horizontal stripes -- red and orange -- across it, and the trailer had the Florida tag F3413H.
"Somebody who can take a vehicle like that and do what they've done really obviously has no brain," said Jessica Ogle, who owns the transportation company next door to the lot.
Ogle just installed GPS tracking systems in all of her trucks.
Still, she wants to know how the crooks got in and out of the secured lot.
"He has fences all around, he has video camera, part I don't understand is how they can drive out of there without doing any damage to his property whatsoever," she said.
The driver tells Local 6 he has been put on suspension as his company investigates what happened.

US Navy Finds More LCS-1 Issues During Special Trials
This article first appeared in Aerospace Daily & Defense Report.
While the U.S. Navy touted the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS-1) USS Freedom's completion of special trials in May as a solid success, service officials still found issues on the ship that need to be addressed, according to ship documents recently obtained by Aviation Week.
The ship areas and components that created issues during the special trials, the documents show, include the following: heat, flame, smoke and flood alarms; hydraulic power unit systems, airborne mission zone lift hoist and platform; lifting capstan; gypsy winch; oily water separator and transfer pump; reverse osmosis system; watertight doors, degaussing system, gas-turbine intake plenum space; and blow-in doors.
The ship also appears to be minus one of its four engines, upon which repair and reassembly work was started this month, according to the documents.
The Navy would not provide any additional information about these problems and the nature of their seriousness. "There are clearly identified issues to work on in the Post Shakedown Availability (PSA) this July, many of which were known, some which were new, as is expected in a special trial," the Navy said in an email.
A special trial, the Navy says, is "basically a modified version of the final contract trials (FCT) that a ship undergoes prior to the end of the builder's guarantee period.
"A special trial is an under way and in-port evaluation of a ship and her crew … to certify to Congress and Navy Leadership that a ship is ready to begin the overseas deployment training cycle," the Navy says.
But a source intimately familiar with Freedom's design and operations says that while the trials do "inform the operational commander of major deficiencies," the bigger issue is that the test and accompanying inspections "do not fulfill the FCT goal of holding contractors accountable" for issues discovered during the test the way the FCT would.
The source notes, "All Navy ships normally go through final contract trials to determine the ship is ready to be delivered to the fleet from the contractor, which Freedom will not go through. She is doing 'special trials,' which has less implication if it fails. You won't find any Navy instruction or manual that discusses 'special trials.'"
The Navy discounts any lingering concerns about the special trials or ship issues found during the tests.
"Freedom is solid, all of the issues are fixable," the service says. "Deficiencies will be corrected and Freedom will stay on the path to deployment this spring."
Areas that need work, the Navy says, "as identified by the special trail, were not a surprise."
An exclusive Aviation Week investigation published last month, written following a guided tour of LCS-1 while in drydock, revealed maintenance and design issues far worse than either the Navy or LCS-1 prime contractor Lockheed Martin had acknowledged up to that point (Aerospace DAILY, May 16).

Roundup nets drugs and guns
The Thomasville Police Department has released its findings from a Dec. 13 drug bust where they arrested 43 out of 51 suspects.
During the search of the 11 locations, police say they found:
• 174 grams of marijuana
• 53 grams of cocaine
• two shotguns
• Various amounts of prescription drugs and EBT cards
Five Special Response Teams served 11 search warrants, with two of those teams from state Alcohol Law Enforcement, one from the Davidson County Sheriff's office, one from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and one from TPD.
"This was a multiagency, comprehensive investigation of drug activity throughout Thomasville," said City Manager Kelly Craver.
The four-month undercover operation began because of numerous complaints from Thomasville residents about drug networks and traffickers in the city, according to police.
The reports prompted the launch of ALE's Community Betterment Initiative, a program that identifies communities in the state where residents are being held hostage by drugs, gangs and violence, according to the agency. Agents worked undercover to set up drug transactions with specific dealers in the area.
"This is one step in making neighborhoods safer from illicit drug activity," Craver said.
firstname.lastname@example.com | 888-3657
The following still are wanted for various charges. Police ask that if anyone has any information they are asked to call Thomasvillle Police Department at (336) 475-8477.

Chicken lettuce wraps are a popular item on restaurant menus, so I was thrilled when I perfected this scrumptious lighter version that I can make at home. It has all the punch of the original but with far fewer calories and much less fat and sodium.

A twist is a way to share your own spin on our recipies!
|4 carrot(s), medium, peeled and finely diced
|1/4 pepper, black ground
|2 stalk(s) celery, finely diced
|1/3 cup Chinese plum sauce
|1 pepper(s), red, bell, large, seeded and finely diced
|2 Tbsp. soy sauce, less sodium
|1 water chestnuts, canned, (8 ounce), drained and finely diced
|2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
|3 scallion(s) (green onions), (white and green parts), thinly sliced
|1 tsp. chili paste, Oriental, such as sriracha (or to taste)
|2 Tbsp. ginger, fresh, grated or finely minced
|1/4 cup cashews, dry-roasted, unsalted, chopped
|4 clove(s) garlic, minced
|1/4 cup cilantro, fresh, minced, plus extra for garnish (optional)
|1 lb. chicken, ground, (at least 90% lean)
|1 head(s) lettuce, Boston, (may substitute iceberg lettuce or romaine hearts)
Liberally coat a large skillet with oil spray, and preheat it over medium-high heat.
Add the carrots, celery, bell pepper, water chestnuts, scallions, ginger, and garlic. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften slightly, about 5 minutes, adding a tablespoon of water at a time as necessary to prevent scorching.
Reapply oil spray if necessary, and add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, breaking the meat into a fine crumble with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Season with the black pepper.
Add the plum sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, and chili paste and stir to coat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until heated through.
Remove the skillet from the heat, and stir in the cashews and cilantro. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Clean the lettuce and break off 12 individual leaves (trim away the stem end of the leaves if they are tough). Fill each lettuce cup with roughly ½ cup of the chicken mixture. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.

3 Favorite Post-Sandy Insurance Plays: Merrill Lynch
3. ACE Limited
Shares of ACE, Ltd. (ACE) of Zurich closed at $79.23 Monday, returning 16% year-to-date.
The shares trade for 1.2 times their reported Sept. 30 tangible book value of $64.67, and for 10 times the consensus 2013 earnings estimate of $7.92 a share. The consensus 2014 EPS estimate is $8.11.
Based on a quarterly payout of 49 cents, the shares have a dividend yield of 2.47%.
Cohen on Monday raised his price target for ACE's shares by a dollar to $95, and said that the company's "earnings through the first nine months of 2012 consistently beat our forecast and our forward estimates gradually rose during that time," and that the "solid performance occurred despite the drought conditions in the US, which were the worst in over 20 years."ACE reported net income of $1.9 billion for the first three quarters of 2012, or $5.67 a share, increasing from $805 million, or $2.36 a share, during the first three quarters of 2011. Underwriting income grew to $1.1 billion during the first three quarters from $663 million a year earlier, while the combined ratio -- underwriting losses plus expenses, divided by earned premiums -- improved to 90.2% from 95.3%. A combined ratio of over 100% indicates an underwriting loss. Cohen said that ACE's valuation was "attractive," trading "just below its book value" of $79.36, and that although "some investors point out that ACE's shares are trading at just over 1.2x tangible book value, making it look more expensive than it does on a straight price/book basis... we note that on a tangible basis, ACE's 2013 estimated ROE would be about 200 basis points higher than on a reported book basis or about 11.5%, suggesting that a premium to tangible book is warranted." The analyst also said that "there is no doubt that Sandy will have an impact on fourth quarter result, but at this point, we have no reason to believe that ACE's loss from this event will be outsized in nature." Cohen estimates that ACE's adjusted book value will increase from $80.30 at the end of 2012 to $86.22 at the end of 2013, while the tangible book value will grow from $66.08 at the end of this year, to $72.00 at the end of 2013.

November 12, 2012 4:57 PM
This past weekend, MTV went abroad! The MTV EMAs took over Frankfurt, Germany and stars like Carly Rae Jepsen, Taylor Swift, The Jonas Brothers and more descended on the red carpet for a chance to win one of the coveted awards. Two Kissmas Concert 2012 artists even hung out at the show: Conor Maynard and Rita Ora!
Taylor Swift & Justin Bieber were the big winners at the show, each walking away with three awards each (and yes, Taylor acted surprised… again.) Also winning is Bieber's protege Carly Rae Jepsen, PSY, One Direction and more.
But which of the celebrities sparkled on the red carpet and which fizzled quickly into the background?

Philips launches direct marketing contest
Philips, the electronics giant, has kicked off a review of its CRM account across its Consumer Lifestyle division.
Philips: the incumbent, WDMP, created work starring Brook
The review is being run through the intermediary Oystercatchers. Philips Consumer Lifestyle's senior CRM manager, Sandra Doyle, will lead the pitch. Philips expects an agency to be appointed by the end of March.
The review comes as Philips looks to grow its business in the UK across personal care, domestic appliances and health and wellness products. The winning agency will be asked to work on integrated CRM strategy across all three parts of the business.
WDMP, the incumbent, has worked with Philips for more than four years. It has decided not to repitch. Campaigns by the agency for Philips in recent years include activity in June last year that starred the actress Kelly Brook. The viral campaign, for Philips' male-grooming products, featured Brook dressed in a PVC outfit shaving a man's body hair.
WDMP won a silver gong at last year's DMA Awards for a Philips campaign that invited new mums to become part of the "Philips Avent family". Doyle commented: "As we are looking to step up CRM activation in the UK, we felt that now is the right time to review our CRM agency requirements."
