McLaren aims for new record in Abu Dhabi
29 October 2012 – The end of the 2012 F1 season is made up of three pairs of back-to-back races. Now heading towards the second part of Chapter 2, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, McLaren can set a new points-scoring record for the sport.
"In Abu Dhabi we'll be seeking to establish a new benchmark," begins Team Principal Martin Whitmarsh. "56 consecutive World Championship Grands Prix in the points. In fact, of course, we'll be aiming to do a bit more than that.
"There are three Grands Prix still to run this season and you can be well sure that everyone at Vodafone McLaren Mercedes will be doing his or her level best to win as many of them as we possibly can."
The last time McLaren failed to score points in a Grand Prix was in Abu Dhabi three years ago. On that occasion, Lewis Hamilton led from pole but retired with a broken gearbox on Lap 19, whereas Heikki Kovalainen finished in 11th position. Previously, Ferrari achieved a run of 55 straight points finishes between the Malaysian Grands Prix of 1999 and 2003; both cars retired at the next chaotic 2003 race, in Brazil.

Hardy Boxwood with Ornamental Features
Korean Boxwood is a broadleaf evergreen shrub. These are often used massed or as a specimen plant in a formal garden. Just imagine a row of these lining your driveway as a stately welcome to your home!
Your Korean Boxwood is a compact, mounded shrub with an open habit. You'll likely miss the tiny, greenish-yellow flowers that appear in spring, but you'll easily notice the fragrance they emit to draw pollinators to your yard.
The 3/4-inch, ovate leaves range from a lovely light-green to medium-green shade, their dense nature providing a full, robust appearance. The evergreen leaves shift to a yellow-brown to purplish in winter, a little added color for your autumn landscape.
Korean Boxwood will mature to about 3 feet in height with a 4-5 foot spread. It doesn't require special care but if you prefer, you can easily shape it into precise shapes.
Deer and rabbit pose no problem for Korean Boxwood and it's relatively resistant to the major pests that usually bother Boxwoods. It's not necessary to plant Korean Boxwood in a sheltered location, but it would prefer to have a protected spot from harsh winter winds.
All in all, the Korean Boxwood is hardy variety of Boxwood that will ask very little of you, yet provide an abundance of value.
* Dense evergreen
* Purple Leaves in Autumn
* Easy to prune
* Cold hardy

I have no illusions that this has addressed the reboots. I'll know in a few hours. I'm giving these recent reboots a break, since something is definitely going on at the fallowfield POI.
I have a DCM475 with STAC.02.08 from when we signed up with Teksavvy in June 2011. I usually get disconnected twice a day but nobody is usually home in the day when it happens so I only noticed it at night when it usually happens sometime between 9pm and 11pm. I was just happen I could have internet with unlimited bandwidth lol. I'm hope this week and noticed it happens 3 times a day every day. I see the DCM476 on sale for less than $90 online would it be better to just buy that or call Teksavvy support and get the one I have replaced with one with the updated firmware?
If your modem is still under warranty, why not give a firmware upgrade a try?
If your modem is still under warranty, why not give a firmware upgrade a try?
FWIW; I've had no reboots for the past 3 days with the stac 2.16 on the DCM475. Definitely an improvement over 4-6 reboots per day.
FWIW; I've had no reboots for the past 3 days with the stac 2.16 on the DCM475. Definitely an improvement over 4-6 reboots per day.
Teksavvy is sending me a DCM475 modem to replace the DCM476 modem I just bought from them. The 476 is running STAC 02.31Am I going to run into the same power cycling issue I'm currently having with the 476 with the older model modem and whatever firmware it will come with? I'm questioning whether switching the cable modem is a good idea now.
They replaced my DCM476 with a DCM475 with stac 2.16. No reboots in 4 days now!Apparently this reboot issue plagues some stac 2.08 on the DCM475 and the stac 2.31 on the DCM476.I'm not calling success just yet. If it goes a couple of weeks without a reboot then I'll claim this modem swap worked.Thomson/technicolor and Rogers really need to figure this out... it's been a real pain for a lot of customers.
Just to add to the thread, I had a 475 with the stac2.08 firmware with multiple daily reboots. It was replaced through TSI (still under warranty) with a stac2.16 a few weeks ago and I haven't had a single reboot since.
That seems to be the feedback so far. Thomson/RCA/Technicolor/etc need to figure out what in the 2.08 and 2.31 firmware caused Rogers fits.I'm on 5+ days of no reboots.
Looks like I just found my root cause of my problems, here in the same boat with a DCM475 with the 2.08 firmware, I called teksavvy to point it out to them and they aknowledged this is a known issue, however they would not say it was the problem all the previous times I called and logged issues with them about it.What worst is they left me out to dry saying I need a new modem and they cant do anything about it cause its out of warranty by under a month..Teksavvy has really gone downhill, not only the support isnt as good, getting to them takes 30 -45 minutes on hold..Any advice?
Would you please post in the »TekSavvy Direct so I may have a look at the situation.Regards,Martin
said by msobon What worst is they left me out to dry saying I need a new modem and they cant do anything about it cause its out of warranty by under a month. [/BQUOTE :
Same issue here. IMHO, it's TSI's job to keep firmware compatible and current. The original 1 year warranty is a manufacturer warranty for the hardware only. It's TSI's ongoing responsibility to provide firmware compatibility. My modem was in service for less than a year but TSI is still refusing to upgrade it. It's not like TSI is losing money on the sale of these units either. They are charging full retail and refusing to upgrade them. Then they make another nice tidy little profit by turning around and selling new ones at full price. I would really like to know if this is even legal.
Wow. This is an old thread.But just in case anyone else stumbles across it, people in Ottawa and Toronto can get their DCM-475 upgraded if they want. See this thread below:»Upgrading Firmware on Thompson DCM475

The question on everyones mind these days is "Which way the economy?"With that in mind, members of the Hispanic Business Magazine Board of Economists voiced their outlook at the groups annual meeting in Washington, D.C. on September 19. Nearly 200 corporate economists, government officials, and diplomatic experts attended the invitation-only event, which was held at the headquarters of the Inter-American Development Bank.
Each economist presented data on one aspect of the U.S. Hispanic market, then concluded by making policy recommendations for improvement. The following is a synopsis of the recommendations.
Adela de la Torre
University of California at Davis
•Given the importance of education for wage and occupational mobility for Hispanics, governments need more funding for programs that support K12 and postsecondary education.
•Given the limited asset portfolio of most Hispanic families, public and private programs should be in place to buffer the negative income consequences of a sustained economic downturn.
•In markets with occupational churning, innovative job training programs are needed to provide upward mobility into other tiers of the labor market.
Raul Hinojosa-Ojeda
University of California at Los Angeles
•The United States should shift the migration-remittance structure toward productive savings and investment, both in the immigrants home countries and in the regions where they seek work.
•Transnational policy should enhance trade and investment integration, with greater emphasis on small businesses. That would include integration of the small-business agenda into the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement and the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas, expansion of the North American Development Bank, creation of transnational small-business support and financing networks, and cooperation with local governments and nongovernmental organizations.
•The current stock of undocumented workers should be fully legalized. A New Worker Visas program should regulate future flows of temporary and permanent immigrant workers. Such a program would provide labor rights, job portability, and adequate legalization to meet U.S. labor demand.
•Migrant-sending areas in Mexico should establish economic development mechanisms for addressing regional disparities and reducing out-migration pressures.
Henry Ingle
University of Texas at El Paso
•Hispanic chambers of commerce as well as city, state, and federal legislative bodies should develop targeted cooperative programs to set priorities relating to use of the Internet as a business tool. A national commission convened by the White House would give direction to this recommendation.
•Congress should work with Hispanic leaders and the telecommunications industry to accelerate the acquisition of Internet literacy skills among Hispanic and other minority entrepreneurs.
•Hispanic chambers of commerce as well as government agencies, educational entities, and the philanthropic community should fund culturally relevant programs to help Hispanics and other ethnic groups come to grips with the new technological world online.
Barbara Robles
University of Texas at Austin
•Citizenship, registration, and mobilization are key to increasing voting rates. States and Hispanic organizations need to educate Hispanics on the economic benefits of voting.
•Nationwide polls indicate that Hispanics vote on issues, not on party lines, and that the public policies of primary concern among Hispanics are education, jobs, immigration, and health care.
•Education and income are highly correlated with voting rates, so changes in state fiscal policies are needed to encourage minorities in education and wealth-building.
Marta Tienda
Princeton University
•Increase educational investment: Cut Hispanic high school dropout rate by 50 percent by 2010. Double the number of Hispanic college graduates by 2012.
•Tap political muscle: Naturalize all eligible legal residents. Organize campaigns to register Hispanic voters and mobilize them to vote.
J. Antonio Villamil
The Washington Economics Group
•Lower capital gains taxes to reward long-term investments and "patient" capital.
•Smooth the "boom-bust" economic and equity price cycles by avoiding sharp shifts in monetary/fiscal policies.
•Improve transparency and flow of investor information.
•Complete the "small-business-friendly" Free Trade Area of the Americas by 2005 and WTO services agreement.
•Provide market information and export finance for small businesses.
•Create an online super-portal of national, state, and private sources of capital available to small and minority-owned businesses.
•Foster cooperative programs among the Small Business Administration, chambers of commerce, and states, in partnership with private organizations.

Risks of Using Acetaminophen for Pain Relief
The most serious risk from acetaminophen is liver damage. Ignoring the dose recommended on the label can put you at risk of severe liver damage.
People who are at greater risk for liver damage from acetaminophen include people with liver disease and people who drink three or more alcoholic drinks a day.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you also take the blood thinner warfarin (Coumadin), because it may increase the risk of bleeding.
It is important to read the package labeling carefully and not exceed the maximum daily dosage. Because many other OTC and prescription products contain acetaminophen as an active ingredient, make sure to look at the list of active ingredients in other medicines you are taking in order to avoid overdosing.
Because the signs and symptoms of liver damage from acetaminophen may not be immediately noticeable, if you think you may have taken too much, call 911 or poison control (800-222-1222) immediately.
The Risks of Combination Medicines
OTC pain relievers are often used with other ingredients in prescription and non-prescription medications – including some for arthritis, menstrual symptoms, allergies, and sleeplessness. To avoid an overdose, it's important not to take two medicines that contain the same pain reliever.
Mixing medicines that contain different pain relievers can also cause problems and should not be done without talking to a doctor.
Safe Pain Relief for Adults
Because of the risks of overdosing on a pain medication, it's important to keep track of how much you take and how long you take it.
Follow these other drug safety tips for using OTC pain relievers:
- Read and follow the label. It should clearly state whether a medicine contains acetaminophen or NSAIDs, the risks of the active ingredient, the highest dose you can take safely, and how long you can take it.
- Wait until you need it. Leave acetaminophen and NSAIDs on the shelf until you really need them. Limiting your intake automatically reduces your risk.
- Set a cut-off date. Before taking an NSAID, set a date to stop, based on the label's instructions for how long you should take it before seeing a doctor.
- Don't mix medicine with alcohol. If you have 3 or more drinks a day, talk with your doctor before taking NSAIDs or acetaminophen.
Safe Pain Relief for Children
Drugs work differently in children than they do in adults. Take extra care when giving your child acetaminophen or ibuprofen and only use those products labeled specifically for your child's age group. Adult medicines and doses are too strong for most kids and should not be given to children.
Beyond not giving aspirin to children due to the risk of Reye's syndrome, follow these safety measures:
- The FDA recommends that parents not give any cough and cold medicine to children under age 2. The FDA supports the voluntary label change of drug makers to state "do not use in children under 4" for OTC cough and cold medicines.
- Talk to your pediatrician about safe OTC options for your child.
- When giving your child liquid medicine, make sure to use the appropriate measuring tool that came with the medication and not a spoon used for eating or cooking.
- There's no need to expose your child to drugs he doesn't need. Select a medicine that treats only the symptoms your child has.
- Keep all medicine out of children's reach.

"Very tasty, but way too dense!"
"My kids loved these muffins! I altered slightly using whole wheat, splenda, white choc. chips and 2tsp vanilla."
"Followed the recipe (used 1 cup of milk after reading previous reviews) and even added 1/4 tsp of vanilla. These were bland and had an uncooked color. Not a fan."
"I did not like it at all! My friend and I were making them and we followed each direction perfectly and we got muffin mush.

Solid State Drives Guide
SanDisk Ultra Plus SSD (256GB) - A Marvell Alternative
Results - AS SSD Benchmark
AS SSD Results
AS SSD is a benchmark that uses non-compressible and completely random data. What this means is that the drives using the SandForce SF-2281 controller cannot compress the data first, which takes away one of the strong advantages of this controller. Therefore this is a useful benchmark because drives that use the SF-2281 controller don't gain an upper hand.
AS SSD is a benchmark that generally favors Marvell-driven drives and the SanDisk Ultra Plus performed respectably as it proved itself to be more than a match for its more illustrious Extreme counterpart. Sequential read and write performance was very strong and it was capable of keeping pace with the high-end drives such as the OCZ Vertex 4 and Intel SSD 520 Series. Interestingly, the SanDisk Ultra Plus was quicker than the Plextor M2S, despite having what is essentially a scaled down version of the same controller in the Plextor drive.

'Military vehicles': 236 Posts
On the Ould Sod
Many Americans may not know this, but there's a Memorial Day kind of commemoration in Great Britain, too, that coincides with our own. It's one of the largest shows of military trucks and regalia in Great Britain, known colloquially as Trucks and Troops. This year's date is May 28 through 30, and the location is the Beaulieu estate in the south of England, home of the National Motor Museum.
Full details are still being worked out, but Trucks and Troops drew thousands of attendees last year, plus hundreds of vehicles and militaria displays. It's organized by the South Hampshire Area of the Military Vehicle Trust. Remember, too, that Britain remains a trove of former World War II airfields, and that Beaulieu is one of the U.K.'s holiest places of motoring history. Find out more at www.beaulieu.co.uk.
Ambitious Amphibious: Ben Carlin's round-the-world trek in a Ford GPA
Ford's GPA might have done well in the Detroit River, but when it went into service during World War II, it proved less than capable in the field. Cumbersome and unwieldy on both land and water, the so-called Seep's production run ended early, after just 12,778 of them emerged from River Rouge. Those that didn't sink during the war were sold off as surplus or simply junked. Their land-going Ford GPW and Willys MB cousins received many more accolades than the GPA ever would.
But that didn't stop one Australian from deciding that the GPA would be the perfect vehicle with which he could circumnavigate the globe.
Ben Carlin, born in 1912 in Northam, Western Australia, studied engineering before spending the duration of World War II in service with the Royal Indian Engineers, reaching the rank of major. Though the GPA didn't live up to expectations, the Allied forces – particularly the Americans, the British, the Canadians and the French – still put it to use in far-flung places like India, where Carlin inspected one in 1945, toward the close of the war. He told a counterpart from the Royal Air Force, Group Captain Malcolm "Mac" Bunting, that with some preparation, he believed a GPA could indeed take him around the world. "Nuts," was the reply, which Carlin took as a challenge.
March Military Campaign – The GPA makes a splash
Last summer, Greg Steinmayer sent us a varied lot of photos that he bought at a Dearborn-area garage sale. Among the photos in that lot – aside from the Maico 500 Sport and the people/monsters of Ford's factories, were these two shots of the Ford GPA, the so-called Seep, taken right outside Ford's River Rouge plant. The Library of Congress has a similar photo in their collection (possibly even taken on the same day – note the cars in the background) and notes that all production GPAs were tested in this slip near the factory. It's a WAG, but could this be the same slip today?
This is no ordinary GPA in the latter shot. Rather, the lack of ribbing on the hull gives this one away as a pre-production pilot model. According to m201.com's history of the GPA, river testing of the GPA didn't start until February 1942 (Crismon shows a prototype undergoing testing in April 1942). They make no mention of when production started, but note that a host of design changes were introduced in November 1942 and that production ended in March 1943. The date on this latter photograph appears to be September 2, 1942 (unless I mis-deciphered the Ford photo dating system), and we can note that this GPA also appears to be missing its headlamps and trim vane. The Library of Congress has another photo of a pilot model GPA (which appears to have also been shot on September 2, 1942) and a couple photographs of what appears to be the prototype GPA mixed in with its photos of production model GPAs. Could this have been the official public unveiling of the GPA? Or was it simply a roll-out for Ford executives?
By the way, today marks the start of our fourth March Military Campaign. We may not have something military vehicle-related every day of the month, but we're sure going to try. If you have any suggestions or tips, send them our way.
Four-Links – Tucker Carioca, VW Iltis, French road trip, world's ugliest trucks
* While researching the post from earlier this week on the unearthed Tucker in Brazil, I came across this interesting bit of info: Apparently, Rob Ida – he of the Tucker replica and street-rodding fame – is working on a full-scale version of the Carioca, the project Preston Tucker was working on when he died.
* We discussed the VW Iltis once before, but we didn't realize how nice one can look all spiffed up. Fourtitude recently found this one in the Audi Tradition collection and pointed out how the Iltis ended up influencing Audi to build the legendary Quattro.
UPDATE (21.February 2011): Neat DKW Bronco brochure on the Hemmings Nation Flickr pool courtesy Hugo90. He also notes that the DKW Bronco was sold in the United States by Mercedes, which at the time was aligned with Studebaker-Packard, which meant that a handful of Studebaker dealers also sold these.
* If you're going to take a road trip across France in a BMW 1602, for pity's sake take some excellent photography. And that's just what the Asphalt Heritage Club did. (via)
* The chaps at BigLorryBlog have been on the lookout for photos of the world's ugliest trucks. So far UNICs seem to be taking the cake. I vehemently disagree with the nomination of an early 1960s Chevrolet Apache.
UPDATE (21.February 2011): And more UNICs.
* Finally, here's a great story. Hans Neukomm Sr. had a naval Willys CJ-2A MB he planned to restore, but couldn't get to due to his fight with cancer. Hans's son, Hans Neukomm Jr., decided last year to finish the Jeep's restoration for his father's birthday – in two weeks! Not only did he do so with the help of some friends, but it looks great to boot.
Global War on Boredom
Just try and imagine how jazzed we were to run across this. It's what the manufacturer calls a Boyce Bobber, a shortened version of the U.S. military's fabled 2-1/2-ton cargo truck, with a cut-down frame and two axles instead of the normal three.
There is very little that Boyce Equipment, of Ogden, Utah, cannot do with military trucks. It usually keeps at least 100 of them in stock, ranging from one-ton, 6.2-liter Chevrolet diesel pickups and Kaiser or Chrysler M-37s all the way up to 5-ton prime movers, plus countless new and used parts. It can do a Bobber any way you want – Reo, White or Cummins power; Spicer or Dana axles; or sell you a kit to build your own. Visit www.boyceequipment.com or call 800-748-4269.
Auction Pulse: 51 vehicles from the Captain America film at Brooklands
1937 Dodge
Do movie producers normally end up with the entire fleet of vehicles used in their film? According to Telegraph, that's what happened with 51 1931-'48 cars and trucks from the upcoming movie Captain America: The First Avenger. Executive producer Nigel Gostelow, a self-proclaimed "avid petrolhead" has them consigned for the Historics at Brooklands March 3 auction, and there are plenty of interesting choices, particularly if you like trucks.
1937 Chevrolet sedan stunt taxi
1937 Chrysler Royal
1942 Diamond T Wrecker 969A
Reserves and estimates are low, which is correct for often hard-used movie cars, although Gostelow says, "When it comes to movie production, the settings need to look and feel real, and these cars played a large part in that process. Ultimately, they looked great on set, and pleasingly, were correct and very well prepared."
Complete list of cars:
1931 Buick 4 Door Sedan
1931 Chevrolet Dropside Truck
1933 Dodge Tow Truck
1935 Chevrolet Truck
1935 Hudson Sedan

Update: I just got the official press release in:
As a curtain raiser to its expanded 2011 auction programme, Historics at Brooklands has consigned to its next sale on 3rd March, a blockbusting collection of classic American vehicles fresh from the set of the forthcoming Marvel Studios movie, Captain America – 'The First Avenger'.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1984 Land Rover
I thought about saving this ex-MOD 1984 Land Rover Series III 109 for this year's March Military Campaign, but I'm afraid the ad for it may expire before then, so consider this a MMC preview. From the seller's description:
This is an excellent example of a RHD ex-MOD Series III. This was one of the last of the Series III line before the British military moved to the Defender model. It was demobilized from the British military in the late 90s and restored by a buddy of mine in Manchester. I imported it in 2007. It starts the first time every time and can go ANYWHERE. There are very few of these in the U.S. It's definitely a collector's item and an attention grabber.
Features: 2.25L, 4-cyl. petrol engine painted in British military green. This is the later Series engine with the 5-bearing crankshaft–a big improvement over earlier Series engines. 4-speed transmission. Military chassis. These are undercoated from new and they are sturdier than their civilian counterparts. Leaf springs and shocks are also heavier duty. Completely new exhaust fitted within last 2000 miles. Twin 10-gallon fuel tanks that can be switched on the fly. Bumperettes front and back. NATO hitch (for Sankey trailer). Military, heavy duty light covers. Convoy light switch with six settings; the front and rear lights can be turned on or off independently of each other. Also includes rear fog lights (for the benefit of those following in the convoy). Dual batteries. Nearly new canvas top. BRAND new, beautiful 12-ply tires ($1000 for the set this past fall). 24V electrical system. I have converted the ignition system to 12V as 24V replacement parts are outrageously priced. Carbeurator upgraded from the original Zenith carb (always problematic) to an excellent Weber carb. Spare alternator (big $$$) included, along with the 24V ignition system if you want it. I am currently replacing the drivers side window track and the speedometer cable. The entire brake system was rebuilt within the last three months and the fuel pump has just been replaced.
Needs: It could use a touch-up on the paint. I'm no longer able to import from the UK via the mail the actual military paint used in the restoration, so I've been waiting to repaint until I found a way to get the "real stuff" here.

Welcome to Moldova. You want buy cabbage?
Our good friend Mike Eldred recently returned to the States from a few weeks in Eastern Europe observing the recent elections in Moldova. Sounds like a good time, doesn't it? Mike wrote:
It was a real gas to be in the former Soviet Union and the other East Bloc countries. Moldova was kind of a strange country – there wasn't much in the way of defining culture, it's just a poor agricultural area, the poorest country in Europe, they say. The conditions for the traveler are very basic, except in the capitol city of Chisinau. But the food was good, the people were nice, and everything was dirt cheap.
The Czech Republic is very European and very western. We stayed in Cesky Krumlov, which is an intact medieval city. I understand that it was somewhat rundown, but after their velvet revolution, a restoration was begun. It's touristy, but not as "commercial" as other preserved medieval towns like Rothenberg, Germany. On a European standard, it was very inexpensive. (About $70 per night, including breakfast, to stay right in the heart of the old city, in a 14th-century house.) We were only in Bratislava, Slovakia for a day, but it, too, is an intersting city with a well preserved old city surrounded by a more modern city. From castle atop a hill in the city, you can look in one direction over the tiled roofs of the old city, and in another direction you see the Soviet-era apartment blocks – which are surprisingly pleasant, not at all like "the projects" as you might expect.
But this isn't Travel Channel; this Hemmings Blog, where much talk of old cars is discussed. Mike spotted a few interesting old cars and trucks and shared those pictures with us.
Of the cars, Mike wrote:
The 1960-ish Skoda Felicia Roadster I found in a parking garage in Vienna, Austria. The car hadn't been on the road in a few years according to the tax disc, and the dust attests. But someone has been paying for the expensive garage space, or it would have been towed.
A Trabant in Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic. You don't see many of these anymore – people were too eager to get rid of them, unfortunately.
The two Russian trucks were also in Moldova. The tan one was at a monastery near the Ukranian border – I don't know the make, model, or year, but it looked pretty capable. There were hundreds of trucks similar to the blue and white one on the roads. Again, I have no idea what it is.
The Lada Niva was the only thing moving when snow brought traffic to a standstill on a Moldovan highway.
The "Snowy Lada" was typical of the hundreds of Ladas running around the roads of Moldova.
The motorcycle was at a town square market at a village in Moldova. I guess the sidecar makes a good cabbage hauler. Again, I don't know the make and model.
The military truck is another mystery. Making it more difficult to solve is that I'm not sure what country I was in at the time. I was either in Austria or Slovakia. It was pretty close to the border, but probably still in Austria. (Ed. – It looks like a Pinzgauer 710M.)
Unfortunately, I was a bit too busy to do any real automotive photography. So these are just a few snaps I was able to take.
Thanks, Mike!
Four-Links – track T, Fidel and an Alfa, Leslie Special recycled, the Japanese Harley
* Over on Autoholics, the latest evolution of the CarDomain blog, FuryPaul recently posted photos of his trip to the Owls Head Transportation Museum, where he spotted this Model T modified for railroad track inspection. It's the cowcatcher that we dig the most.
* I thought Fidel owned an Oldsmobile? Motoring Con Brio offered a possible explanation to why he's pictured here sitting on an Alfa.
* Jesse, the Just a Car Guy guy, recently sat down for a viewing of "The Ballad of Cable Hogue" and spotted the Leslie Special from "The Great Race" making an appearance in the later movie. RIP, Blake Edwards.
* In the early 1930s, smarting from the Depression, Harley-Davidson sold an entire factory, along with the rights to build its 1,200 cc bike, to Sankyo in Japan, apparently unaware that the Imperial Japanese Army funded the purchase. Over on riderinfo.com, Dr. A has the story of what became known as the Rikuo. (via)
* Let's bring it back to America with these photos recently posted over at Off-Road Action of a Willys factory turning out Jeeps by the dozens. Given the overwhelming number of women in the factory, these shots were obviously taken in the midst of World War II, perhaps 1942 or 1943.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1944 Autocar
Coming across a 1944 anything while classified cruising is rare, but we recently came across several such listings on Hemmings.com, including this 1944 Autocar cab-over convertible tractor, a rare and unusual vehicle we've only previously seen in period photos. From the seller's description:

The purchase of the hotels are estimated in the million. The purchase of ''Elefant Hotel'' alone was LVL 4.4 million.
The new owner of the hotels is a Russian entrepreneur, however, his name has not been revealed. ''Freecity.lv'' writes that it has been rumored that the wife of Moscow's former mayor Yuri Luzhkov is involved in the hotel deal.
The news portal points out that there has been an increase in interest in Latvian hotels by Russian businessmen, who see Latvia as a stable investment environment.

1857 STERLING SILVER Tomato Server Spoon ASCO Antique As in all of our auctions- No reserve More Photos Below A beautiful and elegant antique Sterling silver tomato serving spoon marked STERLING and 1857 ASCO. This vintage spoon is in excellent condition. It measures nine inches in length. The round server measures 2 3/4 inches in diameter. The sterling mark is located on the handle only, w it meets the utensil portion of the spoon. The ASCO mark is located at the neck of the spoon. The mark includes a globe, with a fork, knife and spoon below it. The 1857 mark is above the globe. The ASCO mark is below the globe.

Preps for Brake Safety Week, starting tomorrow

Size Matters: Subway Sued Over Too-Short 'Footlongs'
After discovering that a 'footlong' sandwich is rarely 12 inches, 2 New Jersey men are suing the chain
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
Looks like all that fuss over Subway's 11-inch "Footlong" sandwiches won't be going away anytime soon; two New Jersey men filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the Subway chain for their alleged false advertising.
The lawyer, Stephen DeNittis, is preparing another similar lawsuit in Pennsylvania state court over the "deceptive practice for Subway to advertise its large sandwich as a 'footlong.'"
DeNittis claims he bought "footlongs" from 17 different shops, measured them all, and found that each one was less than 12 inches long.
"When you add this up over time, that comes out to be anywhere between 45 to 60 cents a sandwich over the course of six years," DeNittis told ABC news.
The backlash started when a photo on Facebook showed a Subway Footlong clocking in at around 11 inches, and while Subway has responded, the defense isn't looking very good. "'SUBWAY FOOTLONG' is a registered trademark as a descriptive name for the sub sold in Subway Restaurants and not intended to be a measurement of length," a statement on their Australian Facebook page said.
Other excuses involve baking inconsistencies,Subway claims that while it is commited to providing the same amount of bread for each sandwich, "the length however may vary slightly when not baked to our exact specifications."

Bass Guitar, Guitar, Music Theory, Upright Bass
I love music and believe in its ability to bring people together. It's been a part of my life since I was 5, practicing piano at home in Michigan.
Music was a big part of every single one of my school years, and I was lucky enough to be able to double major in music and psychology at Kalamazoo College once I graduated from high school.
My passion for music has taken me abroad, to London, where I studied Western & Russian art music and took classes in popular music studies at Goldsmiths College, University of London.
It spurred my move across the country to New York, where I developed a better understanding of how important creativity is to all of us -- especially musicians! -- at Teachers College, Columbia University.
And, most importantly, it's allowed me to do what I love from my home in San Diego, teaching privately both in-person and online. I've recently moved to private teaching full-time and couldn't be happier!
I'm excited to get started with you and help you set and reach your musical goals!
*** Online & In-Person Lesson Details ***
It's most important to me that you are excited and motivated about your music lessons! I am a flexible instructor and am always open to hearing your ideas for songs. After working together to identify your beginning knowledge of music and your instrument, we'll progress from song to song to develop your musical abilities.
All of my online and in-person lessons begin by warming up with a quick exercise, scale, or even an improvisational activity. We'll use the music you love to develop your guitar technique, learn new chords, and sharpen your listening skills.
You'll gain an understanding of what makes the music work and why the notes, rhythms, and harmonies are what they are.
The music we study can also serve as inspiration for creativity. I may ask you to come to the next class with a short composition of your own or we'll finish a lesson by improvising together on related musical themes.
I'll do my best to make my expectations for you clear and at the end of every lesson, we'll go over what we accomplished together and make sure you understand what to work on before our next class.
*** Additional Online Information ***
Online lessons can be just as effective as in-person lessons for teaching you the basics of your instrument, developing technique, and achieving your musical goals! I'll use screen sharing to display music, chords, and scale charts during the lessons. Materials will be emailed to you as well for you to use at home. And communication is extra important when it comes to online lessons; because I can't make physical adjustments, I'll often assess how you hold your musical instrument and describe how you can make the adjustments yourself.
Please note that a high-speed internet connection is needed in order to make sure that we can see and hear each other appropriately. In addition, I expect that you will be able to provide your own musical instrument (and amplifier, if you have an electric instrument) to use during the lesson.
*** Additional In-Person Information ***
I teach my in-person lessons from my home office with comfortable seating for both students and parents. I expect that you will be able to provide your own musical instrument to use during the lesson.
I will have music stands available for use during lessons and will accompany and demonstrate on my musical instruments. I will have an amplifier and cables, but if you prefer to bring your own amplifier you can do that, too!
Please note that I have two cats; they'll be in an enclosed room away from where we will have lessons, but if you have cat allergies this may not be a good fit.
Bass Guitar, Ear Training, Guitar, Music Performance, Music Theory, Piano, Upright Bass
I graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Music from San Diego State University. You can find me performing around Southern California nightly with various original and cover bands, the Madagascar show at Sea World, the San Diego City Ballet Orchestra and jazz ensembles. I have been teaching private and group music lessons for over 5 years.
I specialize my education in beginning guitar and piano, all levels of electric and upright bass, and music theory training. Whether you're preparing for a career in music or supporting your hobby in music, I will make our lessons fun and challenging. I cover technique, performance, developing your ear, theory, and reading notation. I am fluent in most styles including rock, jazz, funk, classical, pop, etc.
*** Lesson Details ***
Each week you will have technique exercises, be working on a song of your choice, and theory/reading exercises (if desired). For guitar and piano students I encourage singing while playing.
*** Studio Equipment ***
I have amplifiers, baby grad piano, extra gtrs/basses and music stands.
*** Travel Equipment ***
Student should have an amplifier & music stand.
*** Specialties ***
Beginning piano, once you get to intermediate I will move you onto another teacher.
Beginning and intermediate guitar. With guitar I also including singing while playing.
All levels of Electric and Upright bass. All popular styles and jazz & classical.
Bass Guitar, Guitar, Music Theory, Piano, Singing, Songwriting, Upright Bass
I started playing trumpet in grade school and was in the marching band the first year of high school. I then switched to playing upright bass in the orchestra. This led to me being a part of the jazz band and playing instrumentals for school musicals. Upon graduation time, I received the gold medal for music performance in strings. I was also an AP music theory student. After, I pursued a bachelor's degree in music and took education courses. I have tutored music theory and given instrument lessons, but they were always self employed or from the university.
I wish to help others make music an enjoying part of their lives, as it is in mine.
*** Lesson Details ***
For lessons, I like to get a feel of the student's current abilities and then start from there. I'm progressive in my methods and use a scaffolding technique. Going out of your comfort zone helps learning and development.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Fender Jazz Bass
Music Man SUB Bass
Ampeg amp
*** Travel Equipment ***
Students should have a logbook or notebook, staff paper, pencils, their instruments if applicable, and a metronome.
I bring extra staff paper and pencils just in case
*** Specialties ***
rock, jazz, funk, R&B, classical
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."

Published July 13, 2011
A good thing recently came in a small package for scientists: A new snake species found in China is one of the littlest pit vipers in the world.
The new snake, Protobothrops maolanensis, was an unexpected "surprise gift for us," study leader Jian-Huan Yang said in an email. (See snake pictures.)
Yang and colleagues found the species during a recent survey of forests in Maolan National Nature Reserve in Guizhou, China (see map). At a maximum length of about 2.6 feet (0.7 meter), the new pit viper is the smallest known so far in the country.
Though the grayish brown species easily blends into its habitat, the ground-dwelling species ended up being the most common snake found during the research, noted Yang, of Sun Yat-Sen University in Guangzhou.
Scientists have found two other new pit vipers in China so far in 2011: Sinovipera sichuanensis and Protobothrops maolanensis, he added.
(See pictures: "New Ruby-Eyed Pit Viper Discovered.")
Bad Luck Snake?
The group of snakes known as pit vipers includes well-known species such as the copperhead, the rattlesnake, and the water moccasin.
All known pit vipers are venomous, although their potency varies across species.
The toxicity of the new pit viper species is not yet known, but "kindly local peoples warned me that this snake is very poisonous," Yang added.
"They said that some local peoples had been bit by this snake and then got poisoning—one was dead who had not got treatment in time."
Yang's team also found dead snakes that had been killed by people—the Miao, a local minority, believe that a snake encountered in the wild will bring bad luck unless it's killed immediately, he said.
The new pit viper was described July 1 in the journal Zootaxa.
