Pentagon to Crack Down on Counterfeit Parts from China
May 22, 2012
The Defense Department on Tuesday said it would strengthen efforts to prevent Chinese counterfeit parts from ending up in the U.S. military's supply chain.
The Pentagon statement came after a Senate Armed Services Committee released a report saying that 1 million suspected "bogus parts" had been found in U.S. military aircraft, including the Air Force's largest cargo plane, in assemblies intended for special operations helicopters, and in a Navy surveillance plane.
"Our report outlines how this flood of counterfeit parts, overwhelmingly from China, threatens national security, the safety of our troops and American jobs," Sen. Carl M. Levin, Michigan Democrat and committee chairman, said in a statement.

Customer Reviews of Wii Fit Power Up Charging Stand with Rechargeable Battery Pack (for Balance Board)
Works Great1/25/2011
I'm really happy with the charging & the battery life. Worked right out of the box!
The #1 question was "where do you want me to put the Wii Board?" Well here was the answer, you stand it up in the corner and it is safe and charged when you need it. This is the best accesory I think I have purchased for our Wii.
Excellent Item!11/29/2010
This is a great item to save several things, one being replacement batteries and two some place to keep you Wii Board without it getting knocked over all the time. The board does fit perfectly if you remove you sleeve (the same thing you have to do with most of the lesser expensive Remote Chargers on the market). This keeps the board in an upright position this is true, however it is much safer than getting knocked over and suffering a shock. If you feel unconfortable keeping the board upright, lay the unit on its side! It will still work fine. I was using the "EGZER" rechargeable batteries, but you either have to keep the unit up some place safe or just leave it laying around. This really is a very good idea for the Wii Board!!!!
Save your money10/13/2010
This unit will not charge the battery supplied with it. Board doesn't fit properly to allow charging. This unit doesn't work with a Silicone Sleeve. As stated Save your money
So far so good9/24/2010

Great product9/23/2010
I love this balance board charger. I don't have to buy batteries and it is easy to use. Very handy! GREAT value!!

Apple opens iPhone to developers--kind of
- Related Stories
Apple kicks off WWDC with Jobs speechJune 12, 2007
Apple invites Windows users on SafariJune 11, 2007
Finally, Apple answers call for iPhoneJanuary 9, 2007
CEO Steve Jobs announced during his keynote address at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco that developers of third-party applications will be able to create Web applications for the iPhone using Safari, Apple's Web browser.
This gives developers the chance to create iPhone applications using common Web development standards such as Ajax ahead of the device's June 29 launch. As a bonus, those applications will also work on Windows now that Safari will run on Microsoft's operating system.
But this is not what many mobile developers were hoping to hear. Unlike other mobile-phone makers, Apple has chosen not to set up a software development kit or support community for iPhone applications at this time.
Call it the iPhone compromise--Apple is giving developers a chance to get their wares on the iPhone, but not every application will work properly inside a browser without native support. The decision means Apple has a better chance of guaranteeing application security and reliability on the native applications it does allow on the iPhone, but it falls short of what other smart-phone companies--notably Nokia--offer mobile-application developers.
"It's a first small step in the right direction, but they have many more steps they need to follow," said Daniel Graf, founder and CEO of Kyte, which allows mobile-phone users to share videos and photos.
When Apple unveiled the iPhone in January, Jobs hinted that Apple would be the only game in town for iPhone application development. He seemed concerned that a rash of third-party applications could create security and reliability problems that could derail Apple's first attempt at cracking the smart-phone market.
But at the D: All Things Digital conference in May, Jobs appeared to signal that he was amenable to third-party application support, which has been an important factor in the success of other mobile devices. This had developers eager to get their hands on a software development kit. They're going to have to wait.
The Web application compromise "is probably the way to go," said one developer for a major financial services company who asked not to be identified. It avoids the potential problems that might come with allowing full iPhone development too soon, he said.
Apple kicks off WWDC with Jobs speech
Apple's plan allows the iPhone to quickly take advantage of added features that Apple doesn't have the time or willingness to develop itself, without the risk that poorly written programs could hurt the device's stability, said Mike McGuire, an analyst with Gartner. It also allows Apple to take advantage of the groundswell of interest in developing new Web applications.
"A lot of the interesting stuff out there right now are these Web 2.0 apps," he said. "Go where the momentum is."
But if Apple really wants the iPhone to be a widespread success against smart phones already in the market from companies like Nokia, it will have to create a developer community like the one it's entertaining this week in San Francisco, Graf said.
"It's a neat starting point, but I don't call this really third-party app support," Graf said. "Third-party application support means you can do a Java app, or Windows Mobile app, or BREW (binary runtime environment for wireless), and then you can take advantage of the phone's capabilities." Graf said he doesn't think his company's photo-sharing application will work without native support.
The financial services developer said he would be disappointed if Apple didn't eventually allow native iPhone apps. "Some people would want to go deeper," he said, noting that there are things developers would want to do that can't be done with an Ajax application. "I would hope they would open it up in a more compelling way at some point."
As for his company, he said the amount of time devoted to the iPhone depends on whether the firm decides to make the iPhone a fully supported platform, like the BlackBerry is currently. Whether the device earns that status depends in large part on how many iPhones Apple can sell, and what kind of people end up buying them. "Big corporations are conservative that way," he said.
And in a way, many application developers will also take a wait-and-see attitude with the iPhone, said Todd Kort, an industry consultant who has tracked mobile devices for years. Sales volume will help determine the speed of iPhone application development, and many influential factors that have yet to be fully tested, such as battery life, will help determine the iPhone's fate, he said.
Over time, however, developing a vibrant developer community is a must for any computing platform, be it Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Palm and mobile phones, Graf said.
"Look at the development arm of Nokia, they have 3 million active developers and mobile applications are nowhere yet," he said. "If Apple did anything like that for the iPhone, it would be huge."

- Steve made the right decision
- Let's look at this from Steve Jobs's point of view. Who does he have to answer to? Apple shareholders (which means, ultimately, Apple users and potential users). It is a lot more likely that a phone will be involved in a life-and-death situation than a computer. Can you call 911 from your computer? No, but you can from an iPhone.
One of the reasons the Mac is gaining in popularity is because it is robust. If the iPhone turned out to be as unstable as WM (see above), it would be a tremendous mark against it, and sales would suffer dramatically. By limiting access to the guts of the phone, I'm sure that it will be more stable, translating to increased sales.
With Microsoft's CEO, it's "developers, developers, developers." With Apple's CEO, it's "users, users, users." Look at each company's stock for the last couple of years and tell me who you think is on the right track.

- Yanking the carrot away
- I agree, if they want the phone to be successful, it needs to lock itself down and only allow applications that are developed internally or through this AJAX interface once approved by Apple before installation on their device. Apple is the one that will get the blame if a third party app crashes a user's phone even if it's not their fault. It's their device so they will get blamed by association.
Get it out there into the public's hands, let it stabilize, then see about opening it up.
Unfortunately Jobs has dangled the carrot about opening the phone several times now only to go back on his word and yank that same carrot back. His credibility amongst developers is failing fast as a result.

This is a superb and robust choice to get developers up and
running quickly, producing secure useful programs using their
existing skillset and not having to learn a new SDK.

- As a long time Palm and present Treo owner, I can't think of a
single third party app that significantly improved the basic
functionality of the platform. Take a peek at what is presently

Apple risk undermining the entire user experience so third parties

- Third Party Apps
- Agreed. I have a T-Mobile Dash and the way I use it, I haven't needed any 3rd party apps. It works great, can't remember the last time I had to reset it.
Apple is doing the correct thing by locking it down. First impressions and all that. Plus, since it's using OS X, won't it have Quick Look? That means (like my Dash) you probably view documents like pdfs, Microsoft Word docs and Excel spreadsheets, you just can't MANIPULATE them. That's all I need on my Dash (again for how I need to use it).
I'm starting to play with Google Docs, trying to see if I can build online then download to my phone. If I get it to work with my Dash then I've no doubt (with Apple's good working relationship with Google) that it will work for the iPhone.
But I'll wait for at least one more version of the iPhone before I will even consider changing phones. T-Mobile has been very very good for me.

Climate change affects farmingThe White House released its third and latest assessment of climate change, including a special chapter on agriculture that declares climate change is affecting farming in every region of the country.
By: Jerry Hagstrom, Agweek
WASHINGTON — The White House released its third and latest assessment of climate change, including a special chapter on agriculture that declares climate change is affecting farming in every region of the country.
"Climate change is not a distant threat," John Holdren, President Barack Obama's science adviser, said at a White House briefing, adding that it is affecting the country now with hotter summers and earlier forest fires.
"For years we have been collecting the dots, now we are connecting the dots," Holdren added.
"Crop and animal agriculture producers are already facing increased challenges," said Gene Takle, an Iowa State University professor, at a White House briefing.
Takle, one of the convening lead authors of the agriculture section of the report, noted that every region of the country has crops and animals that have adapted to local conditions. But he said those conditions are changing, with more severe storms, earlier hot weather and worse forest fires.
The White House report includes a chapter on how climate change affects farming in various regions of the country. Takle noted that California cherry trees, which have been accustomed to 900 hours of "chilling" between seasons in California, no longer get that much of a break.
"Farmers are beginning to connect the dots and realize that things underpinning are changing," he said.
Takle also noted the impact of climate change is not just on direct crop and animal production, but on side industries such as transportation.
"Food miles" — the number of miles agricultural products travel from production to consumption — should be reduced, Takle said.
John Podesta, counselor to the president, urged the scientists who attended the event to push Congress and other politicians to take action.
Even though some conservative groups question whether climate change exists, the assessment proves "there is no debate," Podesta said. "It is real, it is being driven by human activity."
All the panelists called for action to reduce climate change.
Kristin Jacobs, a Broward County, Fla., commissioner and the only elected official on the panel, said the level of partisan debate in Washington troubles her, and she hopes local officials will have "the spine to stand up against what some ideologues want them to say."
Key messages on agriculture:
• Increasing impacts on agriculture — Climate disruptions to agricultural production have increased in the past 40 years and are projected to increase in the next 25 years. By mid-century and beyond, these impacts will be increasingly negative on most crops and livestock.
• Extreme precipitation and soil erosion — Current loss and degradation of critical agricultural soil and water assets due from increasing extremes in precipitation will continue to challenge both rainfed and irrigated agriculture unless innovative conservation methods are implemented.
• Heat and drought damage — The rising incidence of weather extremes will have increasingly negative impacts on crop and livestock productivity because critical thresholds are already being exceeded.
• Rate of adaptation — Agriculture has been able to adapt to recent changes in climate; however, increased innovation will be needed to ensure the rate of adaptation can keep pace with climate change in the next 25 years.
• Food security — Climate change effects on agriculture will have consequences for food security, both in the U.S. and globally, through changes in crop yields and food prices and effects on food processing, storage, transportation and retailing. Adaptation measures can help delay and reduce some of these impacts.

Things I would have changed:Get more for your money !
What others should know:I use these on my Walther CP99 and my Beretta PX4 Storm, with great results. The more powerful the airgun, the more you'll see how much more velocity these pellets add to your ft/s coming out the muzzle. Gotta love 'em.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Through mid-October, the first seven months of the Cedar Rapids traffic cameras led to more than 41,000 citations issued.
Cedar Rapids police chief Greg Graham has said, all along, that changing driving habits and getting people to follow the law is the primary reason for the installation of ten cameras throughout the city.
Yet the revenue is also hard to ignore. GATSO is the company that gets $30 for each ticket the cameras issue.
""I've had a lot of people tell me how nice it is to get on and off the Interstate now," said Graham, in an interview on November 5 at police headquarters.
Initially billed as "red-light cameras", the speed cameras on Interstate 380 are now bringing in the solid majority of money. A data analysis of a public records request revealed in September 2010, 10,522 citations were issued between the two cameras at I-380/Diagonal Drive and I-380/H Avenue, both in the northbound lanes. That averages out to about 350 tickets a day.
September 25 was an especially busy day for traffic and tickets. Saturday. Hawkeye football traffic in the morning. 449 citations led to the billing of $33,425 for drivers.
In the weeks since, a third camera went "live" on I-380, this time in the southbound lanes at H Avenue. October 16, also a Saturday, saw 614 citations issued just on Interstate 380. The total amount billed for that day alone: $45,150.
The tenth and final camera will go "live" on I-380 at Diagonal Drive soon but in the southbound lanes.
Graham said the city has a ten-camera agreement with GATSO and there are no plans to add more cameras, at the present time.
Other findings from the data analysis through mid-October:
Total Citations: 38,327
Red Light Citations: 2,470 (6.4%)
Speed Citations: 35,857 (93.5%)
Is Cedar Rapids getting the money from the citations? The data also revealed:
53.8% of the tickets issued have been paid (20,641 paid tickets).
Payment Pending Tickets: 11,674 (30.4%)
Tickets Sent to Collections: 3,167 (8.3%)
Undeliverable: 663 (1.7%)
Many people who are driving also want to know about the "tolerance" built into the speed cameras. The police department sets the tolerance at a specific level. They will not say, publicly, what the gap is but the data analysis also shows the "lowest ticketed speed" for each intersection.
Bottom line, drivers: Stay within 10 miles per hour of the speed limit. Here is what we found:
- 1st Avenue & L Street: 35 MPH Speed Limit. Lowest ticketed speed: 47
- 1st Avenue & 10th Street: 30 MPH Speed Limit. Lowest ticketed speed: 42
- 2nd Avenue & 10th Street SE: 30 MPH Speed Limit. Lowest ticketed speed: 41
- 2nd Avenue & 3rd Street SW: 30 MPH Speed Limit. Lowest ticketed speed: 41
- 2nd Avenue & 6th Street SW: 30 MPH Speed Limit. Lowest ticketed speed: 41
- Center Point Road & Collins Road NE: 35 MPH Speed Limit. Lowest ticketed speed: 47
- Edgewood Road & 42nd Street NE: 40 MPH Speed Limit. Lowest ticketed speed: 52
- Interstate 380: 55 MPH Speed Limit. Lowest ticketed speed: 67
"The tolerance is set fairly high and it's certainly reasonable," said Graham. "If I wanted these things to make more money, I'd set the the tolerance low but that is not the purpose. The purpose is to change driver behavior."

Work will begin on Monday to dismantle the 5.5m (18ft) high structure before it is moved to a new home.
Officials will make an announcement about the location at a later date but say it will remain outdoors.
Councillor Gordon Matheson, leader of Glasgow City Council, said: "Our city came alive during the Games and the Big G was the standout backdrop to the city's celebrations.
"Even now, more than a fortnight after the Games, people are still queuing up to have their picture taken with it.
"Although originally intended only for display during the Games, I am sure that people will want to enjoy this landmark for years to come.
"That's why I'm delighted to say it will be restored and treated so that it can be permanently displayed and enjoyed by Glaswegians and visitors to our city."
The local authority is also looking to find new homes for the 25 statues of Games mascot Clyde that formed a trail across the city during the competition.

Song Video
Information About Whistle While you Work
"Whistle While You Work" was a song featured in the 1937 Disney animation Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
The music was composed by Frank Churchill and the lyrics by Larry Morey. The song was sung in the movie by voice actress Adriana Caselotti.
Alternative Lyrics & Related Songs
Sing this while you are tidying up your room
Just whistle while you work (whistle)
And cheerfully together we can tidy up the place
So hum a merry tune (hum)
It won't take long when there's a song
to help you set the place.
And as you sweep the room
Imagine that the broom
is someone that you love
And soon you'll find you're dancing to the tune.
(Spoken): Oh, no, no, no, no! Put them in the tub)
When hearts are high the time will fly
So whistle while you work.

A Small MomentMarch 21, 2012
I had a glorious moment tonight when I remembered again why I'm here in Venice.
Because, and I say this with some embarrassment, there are occasional moments when I forget. Like when my feet are tired. Or when I'm lost, and not in the good way (say, if I can't find the apartment while carrying two bottles of wine, and I've had to pee for thirty minutes). Or when I notice that every single damn person in Venice is with someone else. I have lonely little pathetic moments when I remember the times I've been here with loved ones, and how nice it was to have someone to chat with instead of being the perpetual eavesdropper. (And I chose to come alone. This was what I wanted. What I want. So it feels stupid to have these moments. But there it is.)
Every time I feel this way, I immediately find a cafe and I order either a cafelatte or a spritz, depending on whether it's before or after three pm (the time is arbitrary to my own taste -- I've seen people drinking at nine in the morning). I pull out my knitting or I write in my journal, and the world gets positively radiant. It's amazing.
Tonight, I couldn't decide what to do. I'd had stunning luck at finding yarn (cashmere at Lellabella!) and bad luck at finding the Hemingway exhibit I read about yesterday (I was a year late). The light was leaving the sky. Should I go home? Find dinner? Have a snack? A drink? Go grocery shopping? I stood on a bridge, confused and tired. Then I saw a tiny old woman in a wheelchair sitting in front of a cafe in Campo Santa Maria Formosa. I sat next to her. Buona sera, I said, and she looked surprised at being addressed by a stranger, but she responded politely if coolly.
I pulled out my knitting.
She did a double, then a triple take. Then she started grinning at me. I grinned back. At 6:26, the bells started ringing (in eighteen years of coming to Venice, I've never been able to figure out why or when bells ring). I sat in utter, complete joy to be exactly where I was.
She left shortly thereafter while the bells were still ringing, giving me one last grin and a tiny wave as her daughter pushed her chair away. Sadly, she's not caught by the video below, but in this moment, I had tiny tears of complete and total joy.
These moments are why I'm here.

CHALLENGE # 53 - "VALENTINE'S DAY or USE HEARTS"
ENDS at midnight [CST U.S.] 30 JANUARY 2014
Over the next month or so, we'll be showcasing our newest members and posting a little about each of them. Today we introducing Sandra--check out her blog [on our Right Sidebar]:
My name is Sandra Janssen, 27 years old and married to the love of my life. We have a daughter and live in The Netherlands. I have been crafting as long as I can remember. As a child I started crafting with my grandmother, and we made 3-D-paperpieced cards. She also tried to teach me how to crochet and knit, but since I am left handed and she is right handed, it didn't quite work out. About 8 years ago, I found out about scrapbooking and did that for a very long time, but it bothered me that I couldn't finish a lay-out in 1 evening. It usually took me about 2 or 3, and I began searching for things I could do in just 1 evening. On the internet I saw people creating the most beautiful cards with the same materials I used for scrapbooking. A new addiction was born, I managed to make 2 cards in one evening! I have been coloring with Copics for about 2 years now, and I totally love it. For me, it doesn't matter whether they are rubber stamps, clear stamps or dig stamps, I love them all!
This is Sandra's stunning Valentine's Day inspiration project:

Court Rules Sparta Cop Had Good Reason To Suspect Driver Was Drunk
The driver was slowing down to a crawl, stopping at unmarked intersections, and spinning his wheels...
Those are the clues that a Sparta policeman used to pull over Paul Olson on suspicion of drunk driving two years ago. Olson claimed that the cop had no good reason to have him arrested, and tried to have his second O-W-I conviction overturned as a result. A Wisconsin appeals court disagrees with Olson. The court upholds the conviction, noting that the officer also smelled alcohol on Olson, heard him slurring his speech, and watched him walk unsteadily.
Suppressed Memory Of Priest Abuse Ruled Out In Winona Diocese Suit
Too late to sue a Minnesota priest for clergy abuse...
The Minnesota Supreme Court makes that ruling in dismissing a lawsuit filed against a former priest with the Diocese of Winona, Thomas Adamson. James Keenan of Savage, Minnesota says Adamson abused him in the 1980's, and he just remembered the abuse recently. The high court says the statute of limitations expired before Keenan filed his suit. The diocese supports the court ruling, arguing that repressed memories are not generally reliable for making charges of priest abuse.
Bangor Post Office Nearly Ready To Reopen
Residents of Bangor may soon be able to go back to their old post office...
Bangor village president Greg Peterson says renovations at the Post Office are just about complete, and he's just waiting for word from regional postal officials on when that building can reopen. Mold and a mildewy mess led the feds to shut down the post office back in January. But Peterson says the building's landlord has done the necessary repairs and will pay the bills, thought to total around 100-thousand dollars. Postal services were moved to the Hansen's IGA store shortly after the shutdown.
Families Display Emotions At Lorenz Homicide Sentencing
How much of a part did Christina Lorenz play in the death of a friend and the dumping of his body in La Crosse last August?
Families of Lorenz and victim Tony Du Charme have widely different views, which came out in court yesterday when Lorenz was sentenced to prison. Du Charme's relatives accuse Lorenz of being the main supplier of the drug that killed Tony, and they claim she called the shots on how to dispose of his body. Lorenz's father, Belmont, says police records show those claims are not true.
A charge of hiding Du Charme's body was dismissed when Lorenz entered a guilty plea to the homicide charge last April. Another person arrested in the case, Cain Moss, is waiting to be tried for first-degree reckless homicide.

Night Sky Tools - Astronomy
The calculations are of a high enough accuracy for almost all amateur astronomy applications.
Due to the fact that astronomy is often best when far from civilization where mobile signal may not always be reliable. Therefore, this app is (almost) completely self-contained and does not require any internet connection for most of the information available. The only exceptions to this are the SOHO solar images and NGC/IC, Messier, Caldwell and Binary star images and weather forecast which are loaded dynamically, as well as the refreshing of satellite, comet and near-earth asteroid data.
Night mode turns the display red for night observations without having to ruin your night vision.
The Sky Map makes use of the direction sensors of the device to show the sky above (or below you). Most of the features can be toggled in the settings. The Sky Map also allows you to turn on the device's camera to see the view behind the device with the sky map superimposed over it.
The direction sensors of the device may need to be calibrated if the map appears to be pointing in the wrong direction. To calibrate the device's sensors wave the device in a figure-8 pattern. If the direction is still off, then the direction calibration can be adjusted manually by changing the setting in the Settings screen.
The observation log, allows you to save observations in the applications, as well as manage a list of astronomical equipment and observing locations. This equipment is also available for use in the Telescope Calculator.
Most of the data screens have an option to share the data via email, or other similar apps able to accept HTML content.
The Astronomical Time is also available as a Home screen widget. To use the widget, the app needs to be installed onto the internal storage instead of the SD card, otherwise it will not be available.
The Russian translation of the application is courtesy of Lirvux.
Some permissions are required for correct functioning of the app:
Location - used to determine user location throughout the app
Camera/Microphone - used to allow camera background in skymap. The microphone is never used but this permission is bundled with camera.
Photos/Media/Files - used to allow proper functioning of the full screen images and caching of images
Network access - used to do online searches, and downloading comet, asteroid and satellite data, object images and geocoding.
The app is jam-packed with features:
- Observe the sky with the skymap, planisphere, aurora forecast, polar finder, weather forecast, daylight map, Moon and Mars maps, SOHO images, Jupiter and Saturn's moons, Moon and Sun calendars and what's up.
- Detailed object information on the planets, constellations, comets, exoplanets, meteor showers, near-earth asteroids, satellites, as well as the full NGCIC, Caldwell, Messier, 6th catalog of Visual Binary Stars by the USNO and General Catalog of Variable Stars catalogs, as well as a SIMBAD search.
- Calculate angular separation, atmospheric refraction, magnitude, coordinate conversions, visual limiting magnitude, precession, redshift, and telescope airy disc, f-ratio and magnification
- Astronomical references, glossary, HR diagram and stellar classification.
- Astrophotography tools for exposure time, CCD resolution, Untracked exposure time and optimal f-ratio.
- Emphemerides for eclipses, equinoxes, conjunctions and oppositions, the sun, moon and planets
- Observation log
- Astronomical time

Vermiculite or Perlite
I'm sure this has already been answered somewhere, but I can't find it so I thought I'd just ask.
I have a choice of medium grade vermiculite or coarse grade perlite at my local Home Depot. Which would be better?
I plan on using it to insulate under my over floor and also to insulate over the dome (both as a mix with concrete and loose over the dome).
Re: Vermiculite or Perlite
Perlite on its own is a better insulator, but once mixed with cement there is little difference. I dislike the the fine dust that perlite contains. It is an irritant if you inhale it (wear a mask) never have a problem with vermiculite re this. I can't explain why but if you are mixing with cement a 50/50 mix of perlite and vermiculite makes up a much more workable mix than either of the two alone, particularly if you are making a lean brew.
Re: Vermiculite or Perlite
Thanks. The Perlite is about $4 less per bag than the Vermiculite for the same size (2cu ft). Didn't know if the coarse texture perlite was better than the medium of the vermiculte, or vice versa. I don't think Home Depot carries it in store for very long each year so I want to go ahead and grab it while I can.
Re: Vermiculite or Perlite
You may be able to get it cheaper in larger bags (4 cu ft) from nurseries or hydroponics suppliers.

Breakfast of Campeónes
How the Lopez Family made chorizo mainstream
Chorizo, the spicy sausage mix that is a fixture in Mexican-American breakfasts, has come a long way in the past seven decades—in Los Angeles and beyond.
The baseball-cap-wearing, bat-wielding pig of the Carmelita Chorizo logo is nowadays more likely to be found in a Latino family's refrigerator than Farmer John's pitchfork, and that is a testament to the work ethic—and love of baseball—of Carmelita's founder, Mario Lopez, who started the company 74 years ago.
"A lot of people didn't know what chorizo was," says 74-year-old Mario Lopez Jr., as old as his dad's livelihood and with an East L.A. twang that reminds me of my grandfather's. "They're starting to discover it. I was in Alaska and saw it in a store. You see it in burgers, spaghetti and pizza now."
That the tangy Mexican sausage is no longer just a Latino staple is a vindication of the founder's never-ending work ethic for his children and grandchildren.
"In 1934, my dad was making chorizo at a plant, but when the war started, they couldn't get any meat," he says. So after World War II, Mario Sr. opened his own chorizo business on Carmelita Avenue in 1948—hence the name. The factory stayed in East L.A. until 1962, when it moved to its current location in Monterey Park.
There, in a humble office space decorated with old photos and newspaper clippings, Mario Jr. works with his brothers and co-owners Carlos Lopez, 68; Frank Lopez, 63; and sons Mario Lopez III, 52, and Larry Lopez, 47. Frank still writes up his shipping forms at an old typewriter. They use references like "the Plunge" (the old pool they used to enjoy at Evergreen Park) and "Brooklyn" (renamed Cesar E. Chavez Avenue in 1994) to refer to their old stomping ground. They have seen the neighborhood of rolling hills change from cows, drive-ins, Russian bath houses and the old Canter's Delicatessen (now on Fairfax) to a decidedly more urban terrain.
"His dream was family, baseball and business," Frank says of his dad, who immigrated to L.A. from Chihuahua, Mexico, in the 1920s. Settling in East L.A., Mario Sr. had, at most, a fourth grade education but worked hard and played ball harder. The Cleveland Indians recruited him at 16, but his family wouldn't let him go pro.
Instead, he formed a team called the Carmelita Chorizeros, with his factory workers. They would become known as the New York Yankees of barrio baseball.
"We played ball, went to school or made chorizo," says Mario Jr. "We had plenty of opportunity to hang out with the boneheads, but my dad wouldn't have it."
The Chorizeros are said to have won 19 city championships. At a time when Mexican Americans were struggling to assimilate, Mario Sr. was running a club that helped them find common ground.
Carmelita's baseball days are mostly over. The owners, who have moved on to golf, still sponsor local Little Leagues but say today's kids are more interested in computers and cell phones than in baseball.
Carmelita's chorizo days are just hitting their stride, though. Where many packers, including Farmer John, once scoffed at chorizo, almost all now package it, and it can be found in grocery chains nationwide, including Costco, Albertsons, Safeway and Ralphs.
Sadly, Mario Sr. didn't live to see his favorite Mexican breakfast dish make it to mainstream menus, as he passed away in 1966 at only 57.
Today, the original chorizo recipe—cheek meat and a blend of spices that include real New Mexico chiles—is still mixed on the premises. Despite the slumping economy—oddly, food is one of the first things people cut back on—the owners are optimistic about the future. Family businesses usually fall apart around the third generation, but Carmelita Chorizo endures, putting the children through college, with some becoming doctors and lawyers and others following in their fathers' footsteps.
"Our nieces, nephews, sons, daughters—they all worked here and were able to go to school," Frank says. "They did everything from washing floors to cleaning kettles. That's what I'm most proud of. We've made a good living carrying on the dream."
Although technology has allowed Carmelita to turn out its product more quickly—chorizo used to be manually mixed in a tank with a shovel and pitchfork—the future is largely dependent on the next generation.
"Who would have thought tortillas would outsell bread or salsa would outsell ketchup?" asks Mario Jr. "Chorizo makes beans 100 times better." We can only hope his kids' kids feel the same.
