VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
Hello Ladies & Gentlemen,
Are we sitting comfortably? Then i shall begin. Once Upon A Time in a land Far Far Away, there was a racing site just like the joys of TORA called the VTCC. It was put together in late 2009 and initially was a site where the former team VxR used to play together in perfect harmony. It saw racing on a Sunday Evening UK time ina variety of Touring Car type based series as well as a Friday Evening, also in the UK time, with a more Spec based series.
With the release of Forza Motorsports 4, the site grew and grew into quite a popular site, regulary running two to three lobbies on a Sunday and Friday Night. The Friday Night spot in particular discovered many hidden talents and special people, even myself the artist formerly known as Wheelwash made my online debut, way back in Season One of the Friday Night Spec, exactly one week after ATP Ginge and during the Forza Motorsports 4 days, as well as enjoying the sunny delights of TORA and Virtual Motorsports during their midweek events, times, they were fun.
Then the big Nasty Xbox One came along and like a good marriage, arguments started, toys got launched out of a wide variety of prams and to add to the misery, Forza Motorsports 5 was as popular as baby sick and a huge amount of drivers weighed up the computer plus iRacing Vs Xbox One and Forza 5, and most went the way of the computer as it delivered free porn, whereas the Xbox One just caught you having self service sex via the wonderful Kinect device.
To add further misery, the messiah of the Xbox One in the shape of Project CARS, the game made by the players, for the players, didnt actually work with other players, well unless you worked for Slightly Mad Studios who kept telling us that the messiah is faultless and hopefully it will, its certainly heading in the right direction.
The VTCC suffered as well, CQR Rusty became a proper racing driver like on the telly, and gradually one by one the backroom team from the Spec side of things fell into a variety of disrepair and the VTCC turned into another area of gaming, changed its name a couple of times and that was that.
Until now, yes the joys of a chat over social media between the old Friday Night Club of a few years back and the potential to bring something to the table once a week and before you know it, the rebirth of the VTCC is back. CQR Rusty has dusted over the old forum, given it a lick of paint and a four man squad behind the scenes have made a return to the fold, well, four men thats busy doing real life but as a collective can make anything look professional and the Friday Night Spec is back.
It will be on the Xbox One, using Forza Motorsports 6 and at the start, and to be honest, apart from the odd one off event, likely to be staying that way as we do like our racing on the road. Now if your looking for ultra competitive 'i must win at all costs' type of racing, then this may not be for you. If your looking for a laid back start to the weekend with a few mates talking cobblers and enjoying a bit of racing. The first car is up, a nice easy C Class Spec Cup Miata just around four of the new venues in the game, kicking off at Brands Hatch Indy Circuit on Friday 2nd October at 20:00 UK Time. A car in which most of us have raced in Forza 5.
Full details can be found at VTCC Forum or check out the Facebook Page
Re: VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
Looking forward to a race on Forza 6, bored that the local discotheque doesnt allow white suits until after the 11pm pub throw out, well it just so happens that the VTCC Friday Night Spec is back and its the original team behind the scenes before is tried the art of ski jumping in an Eddie The Eagle style. Opening series, a C Class Mazda MX5 Cup, four rounds exploring four of the new venues on Forza 6, starting this Friday 2nd October at 20:00 UK Time at Brands Hatch Indy Circuit. Theres even a rumour that a certain squirrel is donning his vinyl onesie for the occasion, so even the traffic on the track isnt keeping you busy, the squeaks coming from the one doing Ninja certainly will!!
Full details on the VTCC Forum which is techincally the old forum, but with a spring clean and a lick of paint.
Re: VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
From the opening round at Brands Hatch and having gone from a confident mood coming into the evening, it soon became apparent that the head and body wernt completely in sync with each other, still the sand castle me and DangerDave built in the sandtrap on the outside of Paddock Hill Bend was magnificent. I think i managed to collect a sample of sand from every sandtrap at some point during the evening.
Photos, i took a few, as always, if you click on them, you should be magically transported to my Flickr account, where you can download them and use for your own pleasures, not just online stuff either, a rather large motorsport collection from the real world as well.
If you fancy a bit, Lime Rock Park this Friday, full details on the VTCC Forum, all skills welcome, 20:00 UK Time, its just a once a week bit of fun really, from the same team that was there back in the Forza 4 days.

Re: VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
The second round saw the nine drivers in Conneticut for a pair of races in the green and pleasant lands of Lime Rock Park, a track thats not as straight forward as you may think, plenty of adjustments throughout the week, i know personally, still playing around just an hour before the green flag dropped, and i was still crap!!
It was another double for CQR Tactical, but certainly not a walk in the park with Jonnyy NI never far from his back bumper, as always, a few photos from the round.
This week its the magnificence of Autodromo Nazionale Monza, full dtails of which you will find on the VTCC Forum
Re: VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
Just the six cars for round three at Monza , but for what it lacked in quantity, it sure made up for in quality. It also saw a welcome return to the VTCC Raceways of AgileAdam, the man famed for the wall of broken xbox controllers and he started the evening well giving ATP GInge plenty of grief in the rear view mirror.
There was a rumour that ATP Fenboy was running a camouflage paint scheme this week, unfortunately it was that good that nobody saw him all night.
ATP Ginge took the Race One Sprint race, with that rather good looking and modest chap Daytona Dreams taking the main Race Two Feature proving theres some life left in the old bovine yet, even if all the talent has drained away.
Next up, the final round at COTA over the West Circuit, lots of happy people next Friday then.
Re: VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
The final round of the MX-5 Cup and tight and twisty turns of the Circuit Of The Americas West Circuit was the venue this week, to make matters worse, the evil sod that picked the track couldnt even be bothered to turn up, deciding to play ill again!!
The worse news is that person was me, so i also havent a bloody clue what happened during the evening as i wasnt there. I do know that just the six cars made the trip and that ATP Ginge took a double in the win column to secure the Championship in mighty fine style, with Schuey75 taking second and WhiteShark NL pipping ATP Fenboy to the final step on the podium by a solitary point.
I did however get left a replay from ENS Cerebrus so grabbed a full photos from the finale.
Next up Season Two, a B Class Ford Focus in a six week jaunt around a wide variety of racetracks, which if your reading this on the VTCC Forum you will find in the next topic down, if not, clicky the linky and come and say hello.
Friday 30th October will Spooktacular Media Night, as ATP Ginge prepares himself as Herman McMunster, all six venues, in a fun light hearted evening ahead of the business end starting at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca on Friday 6th November at 20:00 GMT

All welcome whatever the standard you are, although the battle for the woden spoon is usually an intense affair.
Re: VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
The first round of the Ford Focus Cup got underway last Friday at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca and it quickly turned into the duel in the desert as AgileAdam and ATP Ginge laid down the battle for the upcoming season between the two. The rest of the field wont be missing out though as the tightness in the table shows, its a pretty even spread across the field.
Now the Forza Motorsport 6 replay system, isnt exactly reliable currently, well truth be told it reminds me of a Triumph Dolomite i once did up and while the majority of the field had Replay Download Fail, AgileAdam managed to be the only one that success on the saving front, so a big thank you to him as it meant i could take a few shots.
Interestingly, if the Ford Focus is a car you love and you would fancy running in a series on Project CARS involving the 2009 Ford Focus RS, on a Sunday evening UK Time, you may well be interested in this wee nugget from the folks down in TORA Towers as they are running a Ford Focus Spec Cup starting this Sunday 15th November at Donington Park.
Re: VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
Nice shots and great liveries!
Re: VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
Thank you sir, although i have yet to be convinced by the ENS Tron-esque paint from this evening.
Ah, Road America, the greatest roadcourse in the world in my completely biased opinion and although just the East Circuit was going to be in use, a challenge that i was looking forward to enjoying. Practice hadnt gone ideal in the time department, but it was getting there and with ninety minutes to the start of qualifying, confidence was high.
Then it was 23:10 UK Time and i was in a very happy place called Zartog, with The Clash playing through my headphones and a concerned wife proving why she is the greatest person in my life. Yep, the body stopped working and i missed everything, so thank you to ENS Cerebrus for the replays, i havent a clue what happened as i havent had the time to watch the races, but it does appear that ATP Ginge, aka Barry Plant racked in the double in the win column.
Next up, Watkins Glen next Friday 20th November, if you would like more details, check out the VTCC Forum Section which has everything you need to know.
Re: VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
Watkins Glen, perhaps one of the best motor circuits in the world in my completely biased opinion, unfortunately when lacking in overall talent especially in FWD machinery, it can be slightly unforgiving as the barrier is never too far away and the big stacks of tyre barriers around the full course ready to eat the Ford Focus's on track for this third round in the VTCC Spec Season 2.
The bad news on a personal level, i think i hit every one, including giving up a reasonably safe 4th place in the opening sprint race of the evening as i turned left and the BP Delacour Focus just went straight on!! It did mean an eighth place finish, unfortunately there was only eight on the grid this week.
Out front in race one, AgileAdam and ATP Ginge were running nose to tail again, with the latter taking Barry Plant to victory lane again this season.
Race two was a tactical affair, the fine balance between the full 17 lap run on one tank of fuel and the pitstop on a track which takes an absolute age to negotiate it provided to be a bit of a cracker. Myself on pole position, as i was that bad in race one, took an early lead, but it only lasted a few laps as ATP Ginge came flying through the pack and was picking up the lead by lap five.
While ATP Ginge was building a massive gap, the rest of the field were having a real ding-dong battle, which in all honesty was making ATP Ginge's gap grow really quick at the front but it was darn good fun in the pack.
Heading towards the last few laps and the story of fuel became the talking point as the majority of the field came in, but having run a fairly consistent race in the 2:10 lap area, the gambler in me thought nothing to lose after missing last week and hoped the fuel would just make it ...................
......................... it didnt!!!! Coming off the Full GP Layout for the final time, the splutter started and by the final corner, their was nothing but Flintstone power, as ATP Fenboy passed me just before the flag, but a fourth place finish was better than i would have got having pitted so im not going to complain, a good night of racing again as the North American leg finished off the opening half of the six round series.
Next up, Germany and the magnificent Hockenheimring for two races over the National Course next Friday 27th November, if you would like more details, check out the VTCC Forum Section which has everything you need to know.
Re: VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
Coming Soon to the VTCC, the 2nd annual White Van Man Night
A night so special you'll think your on the M74 heading home for Christmas!!
A night so special you'll think your on the M74 heading home for Christmas!!
Re: VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
The Hockenheimring, a welcome return in Forza Motorsports 6 having took an extended holiday during Forza Motorsports 5, unfortunately my body also took an extended holiday, yes folks, to celebrate Black Friday (Which still confuses me as to why its now an event in the UK as well as the United States) i decided to have Blackout Friday, in which one minute i was watching the racing from Doncaster and the next i was waking up listening to some local radio station, obviously my wife's revenge for something i have done over the past couple of days, feeding me endless Beyonce and boyband crap that thankfully i dont know their names.
So due to a busy weekend, has resulted in me being slightly less in depth in the report for this round. Truth be told, i havent got a clue what happened, although ENS Cerebrus did record his first ever podium, so well done sir!!
Next up, the Bernese Alps and the Stadplatz Circuit, so the winter woolies will be needed, well unless your Scottish, then it still t;shirt weather, next Friday 4th December, if you would like more details, check out the VTCC Forum Section which has everything you need to know.
Re: VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZrYm2FLBVY I will be streaming the races form my youtube if anyone wants some onboard action.
Re: VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
The Bernese Alps, its never been at the top of the list when it comes to venues to visit, but in the lower classes, something that the VTCC specialize in, it always brings out the surprises and the racing is never dull as the cars push there limits. This week's installment then was looking like a good night from the off, i turned up for once, and feeling quite human which was a bit scary. We also had a member returning to the VTCC for the first time in a good few years in IZ Dragonborn, who was straight up to speed in the Alps.
Qualifying also saw a slight surprise, as Schuey75 popped in the fastest time, which i think im right in saying was his debut full pole position, although with just four tenths covering the top six drivers, it was all very close at the front.
Race One was just a dog-fight from start to finish in the eleven lapper, Schuey75 defending from the Championship leader in ATP Ginge, but never pulling a gap on the rest of the field, AgileAdam pulled the save of the series out the bag in race one as his RS Focus went 90° to the rest of the field, somehow gathering it back up, dodge the field heading towards him and all without removing his foot from the gas pedal.
A late mistake from Schuey75 opened the door of victory to ATP Ginge again, Schuey a fine second, with THEwackysack X3 rounding out the podium.
Race two, a complete reverse grid, with White Shark NL leading the drivers early in the race, myself helping his situation by miscalculating the angle of trajectory into the left hander at the bottom of the hill, otherwise known as making a complete **** up as i spun around after clobbering the tyre wall. Thankfully due to the unique way in which the Forza replay system works currently, i.e it doesnt, the evidence is just incased in a couple of Twitch accounts that were streaming the racing.
The end of 24 laps saw a Championship clincher from ATP Ginge as he took the win and the title due to the dropped round system in place, with his main challenger Agile Adam in second, while ENS Cerebrus celebrated with only his second podium ever, a repeat of last week's third. How close was it, just the half second gap and Schuey75 taking the fastest lap honours in the race with a 1:39:275 which was the quickest of the weekend.
Next week sees the finale to the Ford Focus's which around the old Monza Circuit, will see racing very much like the Bernese Alps. If you would like more details, check out the VTCC Forum Section which has everything you need to know.

Re: VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
Rules & Regulations
An Introduction
The white van man, a strange creature that is willing to work 24 hours a day for as little as 70p a mile, i know this as i used to have a fleet of them, its also the reason why i no longer own a mobile phone and will never work in the transport business again, well whats left of it in the UK now. Very hard work, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year with customers demanding pallets and parcels delivered in less than an hour at a location four hours away.
Thankfully i ended up in the boss situation, but when the firm with the main contract i had went bang, it took down a whole chain of workers, but a blessing in disguise i guess you could say.
When the van came along to Forza Motorsports, it provided to be a hit amongst the online crowd, the special we at the VTCC held was over populated and a fantastic night of action, yes the visibility is dreadful, the handling can make you sea sick and the 0-60 make take around thirty minutes, but with the right crowd and the element on the fun than the racing, it proved to be a successful night, even if i was one of the three vans that fell over on the Nordschleife at The Carousel.
So with the return of the VTCC and the Holiday Season just around the corner, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to finish 2015 back in the van.
The Races
No qualifying, every race will be a random grid. The races will be short and sweet, and will take place wherever the feeling takes us, it will involve some rain, some darkness, but the final two races will be the Nordschleife in the rain and a Demolition Derby at Hockenheim.
The top five will score points in each race 5pts for the win, 1pt for 5th.
We do ask on this occasion to come into the event with an open mind. We are extremely lucky to have a set of racers that race hard, but always in a fair way. In this event, again the NO RESTARTS rule will be in place, but with the nature of the vehicle and the lack of power it produces, plus the visibility is terrible in these things, there will be contact, nothing deliberate, we dont stand for that here and although this is aimed as a fun night of racing, coming into the night with a more liberal mind in the contact department may be wise move.
The emphasis here is a light hearted way to finish the year, we hope you understand that and get into the spirit of the evening. Unfortunately CQR Rusty wont be here to defend his title and this will be a one lobby only event, we hope you enjoy the night and see out 2015 the VTCC way. Full Details are on the VTCC Forum
Re: VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
The final round of the Ford Focus had already crowned its Champion coming into Monza, and in all honest, AgileAdam had pretty much nailled second spot on the podium. The final spot though was well and truly up for grabs, with a possibility of five drivers still in contention.
Schuey75 was in prime position and needed just two solid runs, unfortunately Virgin Media, decided that today was going to be meltdown day in the North West of England, but at least starting the first race meant he gained the attendance bonus which was enough to clinch the third spot overall.
Another happy Virgin Media customer, this one in the East Midlands Of Scotland, Daytona Dreams also faced an early bath in Race Two as he lagged out as well on Lap 3 or 4.
The racing that did manage to survival online was cracking, the two Ninja Squirrel were practicing bump drafting like the NASCAR guys on the telly while IZ Dragonborn was flying in race two, like a star spangled Creepy Coupe from the Wacky Races.
Its was the night of battles, ATP Ginge taking a straight forward win in race one, before having a humdinger of a battle with AgileAdam in race two, the latter just coming out on top at the end of the 18 lap race.
.................... and so the Ford Focus Season comes to a close, well done ATP Ginge on the Championship victory, next up, our christmas traditional, no turkey, just Transits!! Yes the Night Of The Tranny is back, one lobby, a very basic build, storefront paints allowed, a night to enjoy a trip or two around a few venues not usually found on the calendars and ending on the VTCC Van Demolition Derby. If you would like more details, check out the VTCC Forum Section which has everything you need to know.
The next series will be announced soon, certainly pre christmas and being on the VTCC, we dont do fast, we do class and this motor is certainly a classic, although around some of the venues, it bloody goes some as well!!
Re: VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
When the team got together discussing ideas for the first series of 2016, we were looking for something a wee bit different, as thats the way the VTCC works, You will find 101 Renault Clio Series out there without looking too hard. We also like something that's lower class in the speed and build department, afterall, theres a good few sites out there that give you GT / V8 Supercars / Indycars series and do them better than we ever could, you may notice that the staff team here run in a few of these events.
Thankfully we have a staffing team of old gits and one of the questions posed about which car to run first in 2016, resulted in four completely different cars from different eras, countries and time scales. But the man from The Fens not only came along with an idea, he had a build and a suitcase full of money.
The car which posed the most interest was the Alpine A110, a car that had its heart in the world of rally in the early 70's, it even won the Monte Carlo Rally in 1971 with Ove Andersson.
In 1973 Renault bought out Alpine, they already had a very close relationship, the A110 ran many parts that arrived from Renault direct and with 1973 being the first year of the brand spanking new World Rally Championship, at the time it was only the constructors that won and with the dated Renault 8 Gordini's put forward the Alpine A110, which went on to take the 1973 title, including two 1-2-3 finishes in the Monte Carlo Rally and the San Remo, the San Remo victory being the third in four years.
It didnt last long, a certain Lancia Stratos, a purpose built , Ferrari engined, rally car hit the scene in 1974 and well, the rest changed the history of world rally.
The build is the top end of B Class, so this looker has a bite, as always six venues, to enjoy, some that dont get a look in too often, the ride around Prague is worth the entrance fee only, it may only be a B Class and that its rallying success in the years that Moo was born, 1973, but to kick off the 2016 campaign on VTCC, the site that doesnt do fast, we do class!!
............. and so to the challenge to open up the 2016 campaign on the VTCC. A top of B Class RWD rear engined piece of French automotive history, a car that certainly a looker. The Alpine name continued at various points since, although the factory in Dieppe has continued to produce the sportier version of Renault and the Alpine name may be back on the streets soon, the A110-50 at the Shanghai Auto Show with new connections with Nissan, Signatech and Oreca, the name is back on the racetrack already, the protoype wouldnt look too bad on the streets either.
Full details are on the VTCC forum. It will be a six week series running from 8th January. Friday Nights at 20:00 GMT, which is 15:00 EST. The forum is where you will find the build and the schedule as well.
Re: VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
I have always been one that tries to look for a story behind my paints in online racing, as and when time allows obviously and for the next VTCC Spec Season starting on Friday 8th January, the car of choice is the Alpine Renault A110, the rear engined RWD car that Renault eventually bought out in 1973, although it had been a very close working relationship for many years.
Back at the beginning of the 1970's, there wasnt a World Rally Championship, that didnt arrive till 1973 in which Alpine took the works title, although the record in the previous few Monte Carlo rallies was pretty impressive, Ove Andersson leading home a 1-2-3 for the small french outfit in 1971.
Pat Moss was born into a motor racing family, her dad Alfred Moss had ran in the Indianapolis 500 and her older brother Stirling Moss, can still kick the arses of many a racing driver. Pat Moss though went down the rallying route, her husband was Erik Carlsson, known as Mr Saab, and along the way had grabbed afew victories in a range of cars, including a third place finish in the Monte Carlo Rally in 1965.
By this time though, the five times ladies champion was cutting back on the rallying to start a family, but she was tempted by the offer from Alpine in 1972 and raced this car in the Monte Carlo Rally, finishing tenth overall and winning the Ladies Cup.
Soon after she retired to be more with her family and the world of rallying was changing fast with the introduction of purpose built cars like the Lancia Stratos in 1974, a time to sit back and njoy life with her husband and daughter. The pink and red scheme would probably worry the artistic police, but for myself in Season Three of the VTCC Friday Night Spec, i shall be getting into character trying to drive in high heels which is the perfect reason why a) im slow and b) scaring the wife that i have hit the midlife crisis.
If you would like more details on the series, you can find them on the VTCC Forum and if you like your racing slow, why not give us a go, we dont go above A Class because we all wear tweed.
Re: VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
After the long wait during the Christmas and New Year festivities, the VTCC Spec Series 3 finally got underway at Silverstone. Preparations as always with the VTCC runners had been ultra professional, the lobby host somehow losing as many drivers as were being invited and demonstrating his mathematical skills as counting from nine to one proved impossible for his head to cope. Agile Adam another suffering as the twelve or so laps preparations showed up as a character building session with the quirky Alpine A110.
For some though, the hours of practice had shown up in bucketloads, Schuey75 taking a well deserved and i belief a first ever pole position on the VTCC, just pipping Daytona Dreams by 0.06 seconds, just a shame that Daytona Dreams couldnt find the right gear when the green flag dropped, his first act at that vital point to over rev the engine giving himself 5% damage and the rest of the field a head start.
The wackysack and Schuey started to pull a small gap from ATP Fenboy who had a cunning ploy to get passed Moo, by writing French down the sides of the car, meaning Moo was concentrating more on that than the braking point he had just past. A mistake from Schuey eventually set up a duel to the death between Fenboy and The Wackysack with the latter taking victory by just a couple of tenths of a second and XB6 Broomske taking the final spot on the podium, a rich reward for the Aussie racing at 4am local time and like VTCC aussie regulars in the past Pro Man and ATP Redline, commitment for a race cant be faulted.
Race two, the reverse grid was very eventful for some, Daytona Dreams pirouetting out of control and landing in the pit lane on Lap Four. XB6 Broomske being the unlucky victim in a lagbomb, which thankfully saw a recovery possible. A few bumps and scrapes along the 24 laps , which ended with the same two drivers in positions 1 & 2 and a podium for ENS Cerberus who has certainly grabbed the handle on the Alpine.
If you would like more details on the series, you can find them on the VTCC Forum and if you like your racing slow, why not give us a go, we dont go above A Class because we all wear tweed.
Re: VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
Round Two for the Alpine's A110 and into the glorious sunshine of Barcelona and the magnificent Circuit de Catalunya for two races around the National Circuit. It soon became apparent that the tuning for Catalunya had to be very good, otherwise the rear engined beast would have you facing the wrong direction very quickly, in fact for Agile Adam he must have felt like being on a waltzer at times, the Lucky Strike Alpine not enjoying itself at all.
The other dilemma was the brakes, which at the end of the long home straight saw pretty much the entire field visiting at least once, at one stage had four cars in there and i personally was fast approaching the double digit count towards the end.
The rather grand news this week was the return of an old friend who was on the VTCC when it very first started as nbred5 was welcome backed with open arms, as was EXE Sesser who also has previous VTCC experience. ATP Ginge was also back this week, having been hob nobbing with the stars for week one, came back to winning ways with two dominant performances which saw him claim another maximum number night in the points haul
Strong performances this week from EXE Sesser and ENS Cornholio sees the mid pack closing right up on the league table and a big big test next week as Prague Short is the venue, a very unforgiving place which may well be keeping the pit crews busy.
If you would like more details on the series, you can find them on the VTCC Forum and if you like your racing to be varied in stuff that doesnt usually get seen in the mainstream race sites, well the VTCC may just be or ticket to start the weekend.
Re: VTCC Friday Night Spec - The Resurrection
Not the biggest report in the world this week for the VTCC round at Prague as real life is getting in the way, but Prague, surprisingly good racing but there was a few extra pit stop's. Next up is Le Mans Bugatti. Heres the picks from Prague.

A very pleasant way to venture into the cigar world. Going into college, I thought I ought to finish high school with a bang by trying my first cigar. I've never been a smoker so it was a relief to have found a mild stick with overwhelmingly positive reviews. Live across the country from where it was shipped out of but still received within expected date. So far so good. Bought a triple jet lighter, took the five sticks and went out with my friend to find a good place to have our first cigar. Went to a suburban mountain with lots of nature, thought it might be a nice and relaxing environment. Lit the sticks, the flames were a little too direct so might have slightly burnt them. However unexpected rain and mud ultimately ruined the experience. Yesterday, one and a half months after the first smoke, I had the house to myself and thought I try again. Nice golden sunlight and just enough of a breeze to blow the smoke away. Poured a drink, put on some entertainment and smoked another 5 Vegas Gold outside in the garden. Great burn throughout, the ash held for more than an inch, good relaxation. Got some nice flavors out of the stick but since I'm still very new to the art of cigars, I probably didn't taste nearly all it had to offer. Was still a wonderful way to pass a perfect afternoon. If you are looking to try out cigars for the first time and wants to ease into it, this product is, personally, perfect for that.
The 5 Vegas Gold is the most delicious mild cigar I have yet to come across. WOW!! If you are new to smoking or just want something mild that has amazing taste go with these, you won't be disappointed.
I've been smoking these things for about a month now and they're great! Nice light tobacco with a medium amount of smoke. They burn very evenly and I've been sharing these with some friends who also think they're pretty darn good. 7/10
Smoking a 5 Vegas Gold Churchill I let rest for 2 years, the taste is good, but not as good as a Hoyo Excalibur. I'd put this one right along side a Macanudo taste wise. To be fair my taste preference is medium-full-extra full. And I do love most 5 Vegas. Not bad for a change of pace, a great mild cigar, but not the creamy thick smoke I was looking for. Overall I would place it in my top 5 mild choices.
After reading reviews, my expectations were way too high. These cigars are good, but not nearly as good as some of the big brands these are compared to by other reviewers.
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice relaxing smoke on a quiet evening by the campfire.
Great cigar with great flavor and smoothness. Presentation is excellent. High quality cigars regardless of price.
Got these as part of the "Tradicion" Humidor Combo pack today. Smoked one, it's my first 5 Vegas ever. Before this I have only ever smoked a few Rocky Patel's 15th Anniversary, which tasted dark to me. This 5 Vegas Gold was a lot lighter, it started off with a very 'nutty' taste to me. Like almonds or pistachio's and around 2/3's of the way through it, it got 'peppery' like there was a bit of spice to it. It's been so far my favorite smoke. Though admittedly I haven't had many actual cigars (swisher sweets don't count in my mind), but I'd definitely recommend this one especially to new cigar smokers.
Wow. Great cigar. I'm not much for describing the taste, but I love these (nuggets). Spicy and peppery at the start, then smooth and creamy the rest of the way. And for being so small (nuggets) they do last long. Got an hour out of them before, but that changes with how you smoke. Definitely a top notch cigar for both crowds, the mild and more full smoker. will buy again.
My go to stick. It was one of the first I tried and they remain consistent in flavor, construction and good value.
The best blend for light smokes found state side for this price; unbelievable and a great brand.
Got a 5 pack of torpedoes from my wife for our daughter's birth. This was my first real cigar and I was impressed. It has a nice, but not overbearing aroma and flavor. I found it to be pretty smooth and enjoyable with a nice aftertaste. Definitely recommend for another beginner such as myself.
Decent everyday smoke. Not overly complex, but has a solid burn and good flavor.
I've heard the hype about these from a few friends and got my first box in yesterday and I was not disappointed in any way. I tend to have a sensitive stomach with cigars where if I don't smoke it on a full stomach I get sick pretty quick (maybe I'm still just new at it?) but I had zero issues with these with an empty stomach (I was too eager to wait until after dinner). The Cigar itself had a wonderful aroma and burned evenly throughout the smoke. It started off very mild and creamy and slowly changed to a medium with a hint of pepper at the very end. If I could afford it and the Wisconsin weather would allow it, I'd be smoking these every day.
smoked one of these babies last night! it was indeed a good stick. just needs some time to age in the humidor. good draw... burns even.. great bang for the buck!
Phenomenal smoke, the best cigar I have smoked for the price..great everyday favorite.
My 5 Vegas Golds showed up today and I had to fire one up. What a great stick. My new GO-TO! A very smooth cigar that burned nice and slow. A great Mild taste, perfect midrange and sweet finish. I will be ordering more! Def give these sticks a try, you won't be disappointed!!!
I had this torpedo laying around in my humidor for 3 or 4 years. I think I got it in a sampler pack and I wasn't expecting much when I smoked it last night. Totally surprised at how good it was. Beautiful construction and wrapper, surprisingly rich and balanced flavor, straight clean burn and white ash–that's my kind of cigar! I will be ordering more. Hope they're still as good as the one I had.
I received the 5 Vegas Gold Double Nickel as part of the CigarFest sampler, and it was definitely worth the price. The pre-light draw, the lighting, the flavors, and the overall experience were very solid. My only complaint was the cigar itself wasn't rolled as well as it could have been with soft spots and burn issues throughout. Even with that, I would still order more of these cigars in the future as based on the reviews and my experience, this is a very solid mild-medium cigar!
Damn fine cigar!
5 Vegas cigars are one of the best. I like 5 Vegas Gold as the favorite because its smooth and smells great. Just a relaxing cigar with a cup of coffee in the morning and night. I tried a lot of cigars and 5 vegas is so far the best.
Wow. Just Wow. Construction: A+ Flavor: A+ I bought a box of the Double Nickel box pressed sticks. Amazing. Tried one out of the box (I couldn't wait) and ended up taking 10 of them on vacation over the week of the 4th. I'll be buying more VERY SOON. An amazing smoke at a killer price. Nice work CI.
For me this is another keep in the humidor. An easy smoke with a nice but mild taste. A good burn, excellent build and easy on the wallet.
My favorite mild cigars!
Of every mild cigar, this one is the very finest and best. You wont find anything other than 5 Vegas cigars in my humidor. I love the spicy kick start and the super fine creamy mild thick billows of smoke after that and all the way to the nub! Folks you do not know what you missing here take a moment and try one or 5 or a box for real. You will be thanking me in the back of your mind while your enjoying this smoke. Again, great job Nestor and The CI folks!
Really good mild cigar. Smokes good and a super good deal!
The whole family of the 5 Vegas are amazing and stand out in a class of their own that no one can touch or imitate at all. The 5 Vegas Gold and the 5 Vegas Classic and the 5 Vegas Gold Maduro are my favorites! I just received my order of cigars in fine condition. They're resting in the humidor even though they seems like they were ready to be smoked right away. Nice hint of pepper and cream.... This is one of the finest cigars of this kind on the market in my opinion. What are you people waiting on, try all three of the cigars I listed. You wont regret it. Very well packaged CI, they came in fine shape and ready to smoke. I'll be ordering again.
I've been a big fan of Nicaraguan sticks, in particular the Rocky Patel Vintage 1999. But this Hondoran cigar is making me change my mind, putting this 5 Vegas Gold in first place. It is as smooth as they come, with a great aroma and pleasant tasting wrapper. It will give you long ashes all the way to the nub. Its strength is given as mild to medium and that's pretty accurate. Take it slow and savor. Definitely a repeat buy.
I bought a box of the double nickels on faith after reading all of the reviews below, and am very pleased with them. Creamy and nutty in flavor, reminding me almost of banana bread. Perfect draw and tons of smoke as others have noted and a great price point to boot. I even got a great free cutter out of the deal. Recommend.
Tried a couple only a week or so after receiving my (2) bundle order. I was very disappointed after reading the positive reviews and did not plan to re-order. However I tried a couple more after they had some rest time in the humi and am very impressed with this cigar and will be ordering more.
If you like a mild cigar that stays consistent in taste throughout the cigar then this is for you. It is very mild with a very delicate flavor. I would recommend this to beginners or people who prefer a light, no-bite stick
Smoooth , tasty and creamy.. best value for mild cigars ever. Save your mild money, if you like mild go no further.
Just wanted to add my 2 cents to the already long list of accolades bestowed on 5 Vegas Gold. My #1 pick in the morning with coffee and the drive to work. Keeps me going till the mid-day 5 Vegas Classic or other and I complete the day with a Park Ave or alternate. 3 squares a day!
Awesome Smoke! Nothing but smooth, creamy, bliss!
This cigar would be a bargain at twice the price. Light creaminess throughout, with just enough spice to keep the palate entertained. Liked it so much, I bought a box to share and celebrate the birth of my son; now there are a few others hooked as well.
Wow I really Love this Cigar! The first thing to hit You is the Cigar band. It is so shiny it looks like real gold medal. The wrapper is so silky smooth it makes You salivate. I toasted this baby up then i lit it. So much flavor envelopes Your tounge that it leaves You craving more and more. I love it and so will You.
very bold smooth taste, I would def recommend this one
gorgeous cigar!!!!!!!!!!! Anybody that loves a mild to medium cigar will love smoking this stick .
These were pretty good. Not as good as 5 vegas classic and high primings but I would buy more.
I have been nothing but impressed with the Cinco Vegas line. I first tried the Classic, which was phenomenal. I then tried the "A" Type and it wasn't my cup of tea, but still had an exceptional burn and wrapper. The 5 Vegas Gold was my latest treat from this super affordable brand. It did not disappoint. Smooth to the nub with a creamy core and slight spice in the final 3rd. It had lots to offer in flavor and I had absolutely no issues with burn, ash, or performance. I will be buying more Classics and Golds and the next single I buy will be a 5 Vegas Gold Maduro. Do yourself a favor and try an offering from Cinco Vegas.
Not happy. I bought a 5 pack of Park Avenues and a 5 pack of these to compare. All five of the 5 pack were plugged. All 5 had burn issues. Maybe a bad shipment and the cigar is ok but 0 for 5 is not worth the effort --but the Gerk Park Avenue is a major step up for a slight price increase. CI did a great job on my order but I would never order these over the Park Avenue.
I will definitely right these down as one of my favorites. Very nice flavor and smooth burn. Got my first taste out of a sampler and I'm stuck to 5Vegas Gold. If you like mild cigars, this is right on.
Smooth from start to finish. Mild stick with plenty of flavor. An excellent choice especially for the money.
ok, I am leaving a second review, if you don't like it, hey...pack sand.... I am already a True Believer for the 5-Vegas Gold, but I recently had a friend over for an afternoon cigar and beer, and he is ALL about the big, full-flavored and spicy cigars. Well, I gave him free-pick from my humidor, and he chose the 5-Vegas Gold, well about 10 minutes into the smoke, he remarks: "This is a REALLY NICE mild cigar!!!" which surprised me, coming from HIM, but not a surprise from 5-Vegas. Great job.
I received one of these babies in my sampler pack I ordered, and the creamy aspect which the experts mentioned was quite an understatement! Each draw becomes creamier and the finish is just as tasty as the beginning. I unfortunately had a small tear at the foot of my Gold, but it didn't hinder the smoke much. I will definitely be ordering these for my cigar club soon!
Great mild cigar. Good flavor, fantastic draw, smokes for a solid hour. Couldn't be more impressed!
My wife says they stink more than my usual, but all I noticed is they weren't quite as mild as the Montecristo or R&J 1845 I usually smoke, and I didn't age them in the humidor as so many have suggested. That said, they are on the milder side, yet have a distinctive flavor. They burned even with a nice, typical draw. They aren't Montes, but then, you'd have to burn down 4 of them for the price of a Monte, so overall, I'd say an excellent value.
5 Vegas Gold Torpedo is an extremely well made cigar. The flavors are heavy tobacco with notes of coffee. The cigar has a wonderful lingering finish; pairs well with coffee or Dr. Pepper, w/o the rum. Billowing clouds of fragrant smoke envelope you and draw comments from anyone around. A winner!
Great classic mild, definitely will buy again.
Leave them in the humidor for 2 weeks and these mild smokes come to life. Times a wastin' place your order now!
This is a great, tasty, comforting and very enjoyable smoke....well, no new or groundbreaking review here, just a confirmation of what the other fine folks have said of this cigar. Smooth, creamy, nutty, delicious, consistent and enjoyable. Think of this cigar as you would a big slice of warm apple pie, or a hot plate of biscuits and gravy, or nice buttery mashed potatoes....this is the cigar equivalent of good ol' comfort food. No matter what way your cigar taste may lean, this is a solid choice for an enjoyable smoke, for all cigar-lovers. I will keep them stocked in my humidor, and you should too. They are like a warm, soothing hug from Grandma Tobacco.
Nice mild cigars. Nothing too complex or complicated for someone who isn't a big cigar smoker and all the flavor you look for if you are!
Yummy is the first word that comes to mind. One of the very best mild cigars I have tried and I've had many. Great draw, full creamy smoke, excellent smooth flavor, great burn, just a great everyday smoke. I love them!!!
5 Vegas Gold is my go to any day cigar. Stacks up to its pricier peers without any problems. If you haven't already tried one do it now.
One of the mildest cigars I have had. This is my favorite and the price is reasonable.
I got these to smoke with some buds who were just entering the realm of cigars. The 5 Vegas Gold wasn't some mild starter that has no taste or body. The cigar is a little stronger than most other mild types and carries a good after taste. The Nugget size being one inch smaller than a normal corona made the experience enjoyable for everyone. It gave superior flavor, but also wasn't long enough to make a beginners head spin. My opinion: the perfect everyday cigar and hands down the perfect cigar for introducing someone to the dream that is cigars.
I have two resident Robusto's that will hold a permanent spot in my humidor and 5 Vegas Gold is one of them along with Rocky Patel Connecticut. I thought the RP Con was a great cigar but out of the two the 5 Vegas Gold is my number one cigar now. Absolutely delicious, great draw, lots of smoke and great flavor. I will always have these in my humidor. Great smoke anytime of the day. Thanks CI for the great prices.
Two words: Love them! Enough said.
Excellent cigar...just behind the Gurkha Beauty.
Nice cigar, I smoked the torpedo. The burn was a bit wonky and the draw was pretty tight at first, but all was well after 5 min and I enjoyed it to the nub. Smooth and a little sweet, and I picked up a nice spicey note on the finish. Nothing overwhelming, mild and flavorful. Got one from CI singles to try, getting a box soon so I can get these guys into the rotation. Highly recomend to the mild/medium smokers.
Solid cigar. Above average everything (construction, flavor, burn, etc.). Mild-bodied. I always keep some on hand for whenever I have friends wanting to try a cigar for the first time.
Not bad. A mild smoke with some nutty flavor. Not sweetness or spice I could detect. Just an overall mild smoke with no issues really to report.
Took them to a big cigar event. These were the first ones to go. Smooth smoke.

Performing 1920 - 40's Popular Music, Hot Jazz, Hawaiian Instrumentals & Blues!
Proving that hot jazz and vintage swing of the 1920 - 40's is as relevant as ever in the present day, the Midnight Serenaders provide an infectious and irreverent take on the raucous and carefree music of "The Jazz Age." The band formed in 2005, putting together a sound reminiscent of the small swing combos popular during the 20's and 30's, adding a Hawaiian flavor with the inclusion of ukulele and Hawaiian Steel guitar, with lots of clarinet and muted trumpet. Led by the charming frontline of crooner/rhythm guitarist Doug Sammons and ukelele-strumming chanteuse Dee Settlemier, the Serenaders' repertoire consists of specially chosen gems from the past, as well as vintage sounding original songs. The Midnight Serenaders are based in Portland, Oregon and perform at clubs and events throughout the Pacific Northwest, continuing to delight audiences with their brand of hot retro swing.
- We're now smack dab in the middle of summer. We've got one indoor show happening at Duff's Garage on Saturday, July 30th beginning at 9 pm. Our good friend Melissa Roane will be teaching a swing dance lesson at 8:30 just before we start. We're calling this our mid-summer dance party. The remainder of our shows this summer are outdoors, Check out our "Shows" page for the complete calendar. We'll be seeing you.
- Just so you know, all four of the Midnight Serenaders' CD's are now available for $12.00 each from CD Baby. Visit our CD Baby page to listen to samples and make purchases.
"The Midnight Serenaders recreation of Jazz Age swing is so convincing that it's often difficult to differentiate between old standards and the band's original tunes. Ukelele-strumming songbird Dee Settlemier and co-vocalist Doug Sammons perfectly communicate the coy innocence of a bygone era, while their bandmates offer a sprightly musical backdrop. - Barbara Mitchell , Portland Tribune
There are 4 Midnight Serenaders' recordings.

STUART Y. SILVERSTEIN, PLAINTIFF,v.PENGUIN PUTNAM, INC., DEFENDANT.
In this copyright infringement case concerning two competing publications of Dorothy Parker poems and prose, Plaintiff Stuart Y. Silverstein ("Silverstein") has filed a request to serve a subpoena duces tecum upon Professor Randall L. Calhoun ("Calhoun").
Silverstein previously moved to strike the July 14, 2005 Declaration of Calhoun ("Declaration"), pursuant to the "sham affidavit" rule, and sought permission to depose Calhoun. Silverstein claimed that the Declaration, dated July 14, 2005, submitted by Defendant Penguin Putnam ("Penguin") contradicted the earlier Affidavit of Calhoun ("Affidavit"), dated February 1, 2005, submitted by Silverstein. The Court held that "[a]pplication of the "sham affidavit" rule to strike Calhoun's July 14, 2005 Declaration [was] inappropriate" because any inconsistency between the two documents goes to weight, not admissibility. Silverstein v. Penguin Putnam, No. 01 Civ. 309, (S.D.N.Y. June 26, 2006) (citing Palazzo v. Corio, 232 F.3d 38, 44 (2d Cir. 2000); Langman Fabrics v. Graff Cal. Wear, Inc., 160 F.3d 106, 112 (2d Cir. 1998)).
The Court did, however, grant Silverstein's unopposed request to depose Calhoun. The Court originally limited the deposition to three hours, but at a June 28, 2006 conference, the Court, at the request of the parties, increased the time limit to seven hours.
Also at the July 28 conference, Silverstein notified the Court of his intent to serve a subpoena duces tecum upon Calhoun in connection with the deposition. Silverstein told the Court that he would be seeking, among other things, Calhoun's phone records. The Court directed Silverstein to submit a proposed subpoena, with explanations of why certain phone conversations are important for Calhoun's deposition, by August 3, 2006. The Court said if the subpoena is drawn narrowly enough, setting forth the phone records sought and the period of time, the Court might look favorably upon it. Penguin was directed to respond to Silverstein's request by August 17, 2006. The Court stated that no reply was necessary. The subpoena request is now fully briefed.*fn2
Proposed Subpoena Duces Tecum
The proposed subpoena seeks four general categories of documents: (1) documents related to Calhoun's classification of poems or prose for sixteen specific pages of Calhoun's bio-bibliography, including "all correspondence, notes, memoranda, emails, email attachments, [and] drafts." (Pl. Mem. L., Ex. A at 5.); (2) all communications between Calhoun and Penguin from May 19, 2005*fn3 to present; (3) all communications between Calhoun and Penguin's counsel, Cowan, Liebowitz & Latman, from May 19, 2005 to present; and (4) Calhoun's telephone records from May 19, 2005 to present.
With regard to the fourth request, Silverstein seeks records for all telephone and cellular telephone service accounts subscribed to or used by Calhoun or Marie Calhoun, including telephones to which Calhoun had access at Ball State University where he is a professor. Though all records during the relevant period are sought, Silverstein proposes that the last four digits of any call not from certain area codes and exchanges be blacked out with marker to protect Calhoun's privacy. The area codes and exchanges Silverstein is interested in reviewing without redaction are calls made to ten area codes where Penguin and its subsidiaries have offices. Because the 317 area code encompasses the whole Indianapolis metropolitan area, and Calhoun resides nearby in Muncie, India, Silverstein has arranged for special treatment of 317 numbers. Silverstein only seeks to view without redaction calls made to the 428 exchange (location of a Penguin subsidiary) within the 317 area code.
Silverstein requests the preceding documents for use at Calhoun's deposition for impeachment purposes. Silverstein believes Calhoun was induced by Penguin with the promise of a book deal to change his mind on certain matters in Calhoun's Declaration, including Calhoun's classification of certain Dorothy Parker works and Calhoun's intent to publish his own collection of Dorothy Parker poems.
Penguin objects to the proposed subpoena, claiming the subpoena would unduly burden Calhoun. Penguin argues Silverstein should not be permitted to question Calhoun at the deposition on matters relating to whether Penguin offered Calhoun a book deal because "[i]f Plaintiff's charges were true . . . , [Calhoun's] credibility and integrity would be destroyed." (Def. Mem. L. 5.) At the very least, Penguin argues Calhoun should be informed of Silverstein's allegations and advised to obtain a lawyer.
The proposed subpoena duces tecum is acceptable to the Court. It seems Silverstein has taken adequate steps to protect Calhoun's privacy and ensure he is not unduly burdened by the requests. Though all phone records from May 19, 2005 to present are sought, phone records from all but ten area codes are to be redacted in part. The remainder of Silverstein's document requests have also been appropriately limited in scope and are relevant to the case.
Silverstein seeks the documents listed in the subpoena in order to adequately question Calhoun at his deposition regarding any inconsistencies between Calhoun's Affidavit and Declaration. This is a proper use for a subpoena duces tecum. Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(d)(1), Advisory Committee Note to 1970 Amendment ("[T]he scope of discovery through a subpoena is the same as that applicable to Rule 34 and other discovery rules."); Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(1) ("Parties may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, that is relevant to the claim or defense of any party.); 8 Charles Allen Wright & Arthur R. Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure § 2015 (2d ed. 1987) ("Inconsistent statements, criminal convictions, proof of bias, and similar material, being themselves admissible evidence, cannot be excluded from the scope of discovery.").
Penguin's assertion that it is improper to impeach a witness's credibility is belied by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Federal Rules of Evidence, case law, and practice. See, e.g., Fed. R. E. 607 ("The credibility of a witness may be attacked by any party, including the party calling the witness."). As the Court stated in its June 26, 2006 decision, speaking of the inconsistencies in Calhoun's two statements, "such inconsistencies in witness testimony go to weight, not admissibility." Silverstein v. Penguin Putnam, No. 01 Civ. 309, (S.D.N.Y. June 26, 2006).
If indeed Silverstein's allegation is "a self-generated fantasy of nonexistent 'consideration,'" then Penguin has nothing to fear from the discovery sought by the subpoena. The Court, of course, issues this decision under the presumption that Silverstein's counsel is aware of its ethical duties, see Model Rule of Professional Responsibility 4.4, as well as the Court's ability to sanction under Fed. R. Div. P. 26(g)(3) and Rule 11.
Because Penguin is concerned that Calhoun may want to retain counsel, the Court will mail a copy of this decision to Calhoun so that he may take whatever steps he deems necessary. The parties are to have no communication with Calhoun, other than joint communication for the purpose of scheduling Calhoun's deposition.
Silverstein's request to serve the proposed subpoena duces tecum is granted.

Third Grade Angelsby Jerry Spinelli
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
The long-awaited prequel to the bestseller FOURTH GRADE RATS George, aka "Suds," has just entered third grade, and he's heard the rhyme about "first grade babies/second grade cats/third grade angels/fourth grade rats," but what does this mean for his school year? It means that his teacher, Mrs. Simms, will hold a competition every month to see which student deserves to be awarded "the halo" - which student is best-behaved, kindest to others, and, in short, perfect. Suds is determined to be the first to earn the halo, but he's finding the challenge of always being good to be more stressful than he had anticipated. Does he have to be good even outside of school? (Does he have to be nice to his annoying little sister?) And if Mrs. Simms doesn't actually see him doing a good deed, does it even count? A warm, funny return to elementary school from master storyteller Spinelli.
Editorial Reviews
Praise for THIRD GRADE ANGELS:
"Spinelli doesn't miss a beat in recreating the characters from [Fourth Grade Rats]... Sweet and funny." -- KIRKUS REVIEWS
"Third-graders are notoriously competitive, and Spinelli has his finger on the pulse of that age group. Suds's first-person account rings true." -- HORN BOOK
"This beginning chapter book moves at an enjoyably brisk pace; readers will appreciate the familiar school and home settings, and they'll look forward to meeting the characters again in a forthcoming book. A story kids will relate to, with valuable, down-to-earth messages about character and motives." -- SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

It is a wonderful book especially if you are below second grade or in it. Because when you are in second grade or under you always love when you see this wonderful third grade. If you are in it or over you know it isn't like that.

The uncertain art of finding the biggest buyout firms
Estimating who or what are the biggest of their kind can be a difficult business, whether you're a geographer trying to work out the world's biggest islands (do you include continents?), a scientist trying to establish the world's biggest birds (height or wingspan?), or a financial analyst calculating the scale of private equity houses.
There are various benefits to being among the largest firms in private equity. As well as having greater firepower to buy the best assets, firms with larger funds can attract more in fee income and having a high profile can help attract investors at fundraising time.
One obvious measure is to look at which firm has the most buyout capital currently available to spend on deals – known as dry powder. By this metric, Europe's top two private equity investors are almost in a world of their own. The January 2016 figures, which covered funds focused primarily or exclusively on Europe, show Luxembourg-based CVC Capital Partners top with €10.1 billion and Swedish firm EQT second with €8.1 billion, with the next highest firm at little more than €3 billion, according to data provider Preqin.
These dry powder figures are striking when compared with previous figures compiled on the same basis in 2011. At this point CVC was also first, but with a much more modest total of €7.3 billion. Second-placed BC Partners, on €6.7 billion, was also at a lower level than EQT is now.
This is indicative of the industry's growth as a whole, which now has record levels of dry powder at its disposal. Analysts believe much of the dry powder comes from strong years for exiting investments in 2014 and 2015.
A longer term approach
A problem with only looking at such a measure is that it favours firms that have raised capital recently. Both CVC and EQT will have benefited from this – the figures include CVC's latest fund, which closed in 2013 at €10.9 billion, while EQT raised €6.75 billion in August 2015.
There is also some debate over whether holding large amounts of dry powder is good or bad for the industry. Investors may feel they are paying high fees on capital that is not being put to work, while buyout executives believe it is better to wait than make a bad investment.
Joana Rocha Scaff, head of European private equity at Neuberger Berman, the asset manager, said: "If the private equity fund doesn't invest the committed capital, that drives down the overall fund return. But if it does, and goes for suboptimal deals, that's not good for the investor or manager."
Charlie Geffen, partner and private equity specialist at law firm Gibson Dunn, added: "You have to be really careful because the last thing investors want to do is to create an incentive for managers to do bad deals just because they haven't done one yet." He added: "There are many lessons from history where people succeeded because they were very disciplined and kept out of the market as it peaked. Others were less disciplined, and suffered as a result."
To cancel out the effect of recent fundraising, firms are often ranked by the amount of capital they have raised in the past 10 years. By this measure, CVC also tops the rankings, with €25.8 billion raised, though Apax Partners takes second place and Permira and Advent International also rank highly alongside EQT.
The longer-term rankings are, in many ways, remarkably stable. Four of the top five private equity houses by capital raised in the past 10 years were also in the top five in 2011. The one firm that has dropped out of the top five, BC Partners, is likely to climb the ranking again since it is in the process of raising its first new fund since 2012.
Some observers think the concentration of market share reflects the turbulent times. Alex Koriath, London-based head of the UK pension practice at Cambridge Associates, the international investment advisory firm, said: "In the past few years, some private equity houses have become fully subscribed on their first call for funds; others have had difficulty raising the funds they wanted."
Commenting on this divergence in fortunes, Koriath explained: "Some of this is down to track records during the financial crisis. Variations in performance have been more extreme than if there'd just been a bull market in the past 10 or 15 years."
Other measures
While looking at capital raised over 10 years offers clarity on which firms are the largest over a longer period, it does mean that a firm that raises a large fund can remain in the rankings for a long time regardless of what its present situation is. For an accurate up-to-date picture of which firms are doing the biggest deals, a straightforward measure is simply to look at what value of deals they have done in the past year.
CVC topped the table ranked by the aggregate value of buyout deals done in Europe in 2015, with deals worth €5.9 billion. Recent CVC deals include its June 2015 purchase of a majority stake in Amsterdam-based Stage Entertainment, which produces the Lion King and other musicals.
However, some of the top five spots on this list were taken by firms such as Warburg Pincus, TDR Capital and General Atlantic – none of which appeared in the other rankings.
When it came to the aggregate value of deals done in Europe in the 10 years between 2006 and 2015, CVC was narrowly beaten by KKR, whose €53.8 billion in deal value was slightly higher than CVC's €52.4 billion.
Another area that is becoming important to firms that once specialised solely in buyouts is what other types of investment they now operate in.
"Increasingly, managers in Europe and elsewhere are running three pots of money: private equity, real estate and credit funds", said Geffen of Gibson Dunn – citing the credit fund of CVC as an example. "The private equity fund is not always the biggest pot of the three."
He added: "One would expect big global alternative asset managers to continue to win market share in private equity."
Gavin Gordon, London-based partner in the private equity practice of law firm Kirkland & Ellis, said: "Private equity firms have expanded the universe they're in." His explanation: "They're constrained by how much money you can rise for a single-strategy flagship fund, because investors need convincing that you've got the right team and that there are enough opportunities to spend the money."
Firms that are looking to increase in size must beware the nervousness of investors, as some believe this can lead to mission creep, where a private equity firm's fund managers invest in new kinds of assets with which they are unfamiliar, because they can't find enough assets to buy under the old criteria.
But Rocha Scaff suggested that careful funds could expand their horizons successfully. For example, a fund manager could use their knowledge of the "heavily technical" sectors of financial services and healthcare in one country to expand into that sector in another country. The trick was to hire the right local expertise to ensure "a coupling of that deep sector knowledge with deep country knowledge", she said.

Subject: [PATCH 0/4] CPUFreq: Implement per policy instances of governors
Newsgroups: gmane.linux.kernel
Date: Monday 4th February 2013 11:38:50 UTC (over 3 years ago)
Currently, there can't be multiple instances of single governor_type. If we have a multi-package system, where we have multiple instances of struct policy (per package), we can't have multiple instances of same governor. i.e. We can't have multiple instances of ondemand governor for multiple packages. Governors directory in sysfs is created at /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ governor-name/. Which again reflects that there can be only one instance of a governor_type in the system. This is a bottleneck for multicluster system, where we want different packages to use same governor type, but with different tunables. This patchset is inclined towards fixing this issue.
