Considering greening operating rooms? A new analysis published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal shows cost savings and reduced environmental impact without compromising patient care.
Operating rooms produce approximately 20%-33% of all waste in hospitals, and much of this waste is subjected to specialized high-energy processing which is expensive and has negative environmental and health impacts. Figures from 2007 indicate that US health care facilities contributed 8% of total greenhouse gas emissions and disposed of more than 4 billion pounds of waste, making the sector the second-largest producer of landfill waste after the food industry. In 2008, Canadian hospital activities were the second most energy-intensive activity, consuming the energy of 440,000 homes.
Greening operating rooms at a glance:
"A single operation may produce more waste than a family of four produces in a week," states the analysis.
"Operating rooms pose a particular challenge to waste management because of the need for absolute sterility," write the authors. "Fortunately, technologies and waste-reduction strategies have emerged that satisfy the 'triple bottom line' (people, planet and profits), by reducing health care costs and environmental effects without compromising patient care."

I am being sued in Los Angels by plaintiff (pro per) who lives in northern California. I need to depose some non-party witnesses who work(ed) with plaintiff but they all work/reside in northern California. I cannot afford time-wise, nor cost-wise, to travel to northern California to depose these witnesses. I came across written depositions, but I cannot seem to find very much information on how to go about doing a written deposition. Where can I find the codes and statutes regarding using written depositions in a Los Angeles Superior Court case?
Yes. See CA Code of Civil Procedure sections 2028.010 through 2028.080.
Just keep in mind that written depositions are rarely used because they are not very effective.
Moreover, if your case is a limited jurisdiction case (as opposed to an unlimited jurisdiction case), you are restricted to taking only ONE oral or written deposition, per Code of Civil Procedure section 94, subdivision (b).
Your best resource for this info is "Civil Procedure Before Trial" published by Rutter as a California Practice Guide. The law library will have it. It is useful and understandable.

Information about Surabaya
Surabaya is the capital of East Java and Indonesia's second largest city. Since it is not the official capital, you may find it more relaxed and easy going than its more famous sister, Jakarta. Home to around three million people there is much to do in and around the city. You can expect temperatures to stay fairly constant throughout the year, with highs of 30-35 degrees Celsius, and night time lows of 20-25, so a visit is definitely worth considering any time of the year. Despite the waves of modern imported cars, Surabaya retains much of its past and displays it on the roads. Brilliantly coloured becak (cycle rickshaws) slice through the streams of more conventional traffic, hop on for an enjoyable taste of the past. If you delve into the Old Quarter, then you will find a world awash with foods, crafts, and music that have existed as long as the city has. Be adventurous and try some pakpao, ote, or semanggi, even if you don't know what something is, remember, half the fun of ordering is finding out! Surabaya is a culinary mixture so with a little effort you can find varieties from the Middle East, Europe, China, or more traditional Indonesia. Just outside Surabaya is Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park, named for its two active volcanoes, Bromo and Semeru, and the Tengger people who inhabit the park. Semeru is the quieter of the two volcanoes, with most visitors choosing to visit only Bromo, but it is well worth a dedicated visit due to its periodic eruptions. Semeru can be relied upon to spew great clouds of steam and smoke at intervals of 20 or so minutes. Few people can say they have seen a volcano erupt, and you could be one of them.

DJ Houseman
Written by Houseman
St. Louis, MO Disco DJ (1959 - Present)
DJ Houseman (aka Glen Williams) began spinning records at the age of 18 in 1978 at St. Louis, MO's infamous Zebra Lounge. Houseman got his first break when the head jock, at the time, attended to business out of town. By getting the crowd wound up, Houseman was immediately offered a permanent residency.
From there Houseman consistenly broke new ground at the Zebra by playing R&B Disco, Disco, House and Importes. The crowd was predominantly black and Houseman was successful to keep the dance floor moving with everything from Sugar Hill to Pat Benatar to Void Vision from 1978 through 1986.
During this period DJ Houseman belonged to the mighty Chicago "Let's Dance" record pool. He was one slot down, #6, from the legendary Hot Mix 5 slots who were completely burning up WBMX and WGCI radio in Chicago.
DJ Houseman has a unique ability to play, as they say - everything. His versatility to play house, disco, high-energy and industrial provided him opportunity to play at all the large clubs in the metro area.
In 1986 Houseman acquired a warehouse space in the now stylish downtown St. Louis entertainment district known as the Washington Strip. The space was set to be an art gallery / nightclub that would promote various music, performers and artists. At the time, it was beyond the St. Louis entertainment scope and was discouraged from a central business area.
Houseman then started another club in midtown St. Louis where he continued his efforts promoting new music whenever he could. After that, he did a minor stint in New York before setting up residence in Atlanta, GA in 1989 where Houseman continued to play music at various clubs, late night parties and underground events.
He was part of an underground social movement in Atlanta that promoted local and abroad artists. DJ Houseman moved back to St. Louis in 2001 and has kept up with music as relaxing therapy from his main job as President of a small web development firm.
Houseman has since developed Virgo Lounge.com as an online outlet to help promote the artists who produce quality garage, house and disco based music.
It is of note that to this day people in St. Louis ask for DJ Houseman to again play on a permanent basis.

SonReal - Everywhere We Go
Artist: SonReal
Producer: Burd & Keyz
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 6 votes )
Judging by some of the Tweets that are posted and some of the emails that we receive at The DJBooth, it's safe to say some rappers take themselves wayyyyy too seriously. While it's good to take your craft to heart, what's the point of making music if you can't have fun while doing it? If y'all rigid rappers need pointers on how to let your hair down, hit up SonReal; the visuals for new single Everywhere We Go show that the Vancouver native knows how to have a good time. Following the antics of a goof named Steve, who auditions for a talent show and plays chess against Madchild, the Peter Huang-directed visuals are sure to have you cracking up. Though he fools around in the video, SonReal stilll goes hard on the mic, showcasing his charismatic, upbeat flow and witty one-liners over Burd & Keyz' lively boardwork. Everywhere We Go is not attached to anything larger, but fans can keep it locked to The DJBooth for more.

10. Danielle goes to be seated at her appointed "Preakness table" when she realizes there isn't enough room for her unannounced guests. One of her classy ex felon guests demanded the Brownstone put another "F'n table" in the room immediately. I can assure you that he never said that to one of the Manzos because I guarantee if he had, the outcome would have been a LOT different.
11. Please note how accommodating the Brownstone was being and it was never good enough for Danielle. Please also note that it is NOT the Brownstone who decides the seating charts for any events that are held there. The person holding the event told the Brownstone how may tables to put in the room based on the amount of tickets sold. When there are 12 extra people unannounced, guess what? There won't be a table set up waiting for them. Common sense.
12. At one point the baby's uncle showed Danielle at table of six that was available. She turned her head away from it and ignored that fact. She apparently didn't like the location. Meanwhile, her biker gang was starting to make a scene that Danielle seemed to be enjoying and proud of … "That's how WE roll!" Chuckle, chuckle – Danielle.
13. While a giant slide show of the beautiful sick baby played on the screen behind her, Danielle smiles, poses for pictures and laughs at the ruckus her Motley Crew were causing in the entrance to the room. Danielle has made a circus out of this very important fundraiser for a very special sick little baby girl in TOTAL disregard for this families sensitive struggles. It disgusts me that a mother of two girls could behave in this manner and surround herself and her children around those dangerous people. What kind of example is this for her children?
14. Just when you think she can't get any worse, she steps out of the room with her ex con, wanna be Gangster (Wangster) Danny for a little "consensus" update on whether or not they are going to "wreck the place" and "start something." Danielle's only stipulation in her command to this felon, with his Napoleon complex, was to not hurt the family of the little girl. How very caring of her. Besides that, tough guy has her permission to "let loose" on anyone else. WOW! If she was so concerned about this family and the well being of their beautiful little girl, why would she even have invited this group of classless, reckless junkies to a benefit as sensitive at this one in the first place? She turned it into a circus and made it all about herself and her vendetta. SHAME ON HER! Disgusting.

A recent study on vacancy rates for major retail areas in Charlottesville shows that the city remains a good place to set up shop.
The study comes from Office of Economic Development, which found a total of thirteen retail vacancies in Charlottesville.
The Downtown Mall vacancy rate was down from 2.08% to 1.04% with only 2 vacancies remaining.
Barracks Road's rate dropped from 3.33% in July 2012 to 3.30% in January 2013.
The Corner's vacancy rate remained constant at 1.69%, while Preston Plaza is completely occupied.
Seminole Square was the only shopping center to experience a rise in its rate, increasing from 7.55% in July 2012 to 13.21% for this study with 3 additional vacancies.
McIntire Plaza, which was new to the study in January 2012, experienced a decrease in its vacancy rate from 2.08% in July 2012 to 0.00% for this study.
"The overall vacancy rate in the major shopping areas of the city is slightly lower than it was six months ago which continues a positive trend," noted Economic Development Director Chris Engel. "These minute fluctuations suggest that the retail situation in Charlottesville is stable, as empty storefronts in general are not staying vacant for long periods of time."
Further details can be found on the Economic Development website

A Montrose man is counting on a stem cell transplant to keep his cancer at bay, and he's hoping the President's veto will not hinder research efforts. In 2002 Montrose Daily Press Publisher Steve Woody was diagnosed with Non–Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Woody says it changed his life. Instead of focusing on work, all of the sudden he had to put all his energy into chemo–therapy. But it paid off and in June of 2003 Woody beat his cancer into remission. Then he was left to decide between taking his chances, or a stem cell transplant.
Woody opted for the transplant and headed off to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle. There he took part in a clinical trial of just 20 patients. Where doctors removed some of his stem cells. Woody says the stem cells were treated with a medicine which will recognize cancer when it comes back and then it will target those cancer cells and hopefully eliminate them.
Woody's transplant was in October of 2003 and three years later- so far so good. Woody believes stem cell research holds the key to extending and saving lives which have been ravaged by disease. Woody leads a local support group for cancer survivors every second Thursday of each month.

The Town of Camp Verde's Housing Department is long gone, shut down a few years ago as part of an effort to reduce spending.
Regardless, residents of Camp Verde are still benefiting from some of the ground work laid down by that department.
A property owner on Robin Lane out in the Verde Lakes neighborhood just had his home replaced thanks to funding made available by the Town of Camp Verde.
"It's great; it's a good project," Camp Verde Town Clerk Debbie Barber said. "It's a used mobile home, but it's way nicer than what was there."
The town was able to get the owner improved electrical and septic service too, Barber said.
"He's really happy about it."
It was an emergency situation, Barber said, as the owner's previous home was slated for condemnation.
The money is part of a program that provides potential funding from the federal and state governments, in part from the HOME Investment Partnership Program, set up by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
For the full story, see the Wednesday, Aug. 22, edition of The Camp Verde Journal.

Microsoft's Azure goes TITSUP PLANET-WIDE AGAIN in cloud FAIL
something wrong at a fundamental level with Azure.
You know who created it ?
OpenSUSE 13.2: Have your gecko and eat your rolling distro too
Re: testing...
You can resize XFS (live) - you cannot shrink it though.
Desktop Linux users beware: the boss thinks you need to be managed
I'll wait for a KVM based solution or just use a desktop - VDI = pissed of staff also.
We are in the middle of a migration from vmware -> KVM at my new place of work - there is nothing that would see me stop this - KVM is like linux, it may not have the most user friendly tools but it is more effective in terms of speed (IOOP's), more flexable
VMWare is like Windows - loved by managers, nice shiny buttons - however less effective - using things like libguestfs (virt-resize) you can do things you simply cannot do with vmware - i.e say you want to expand a disk image, + FIRST partition or one not the one at the end of the disk + LVM volume size + the ext4 filesystem you do this in one command.
As far as I can see there is no way of easily expanding a partition inside a VMware disk image unless the partition you want to expand is @ the end of the disk - even then its more hassle to do with VMware.
VDI's are a bad idea anyway in terms of staff morale, monitoring employees will be far easier using this solution - the dev team here would probably quit if I were to implement such a solution.
Microsoft has Windows Server running on ARM: report
Re: Linux ahead(as per usual)
> Linux might be used in lots of embedded devices, but so is Windows.
That wasn't my point - its the amount of software available now.
Many applications will not be re-written for ARM - almost ALL applications are available for ARM linux.
Linux ahead(as per usual)
meanwhile there is multiple well supported ARM based distro's for linux - and I mean distros that have nearly the entire software stack available (i.e 1000's of packages - no flash - but that is a blessing.)
Its easy generally for open source software to be rebuilt for ARM - closed source - not so much.

Valve says no Steam Machines until 2015, fingers crossed
Re: Here's hoping....
SteamOS is dualbootable now (in fact I have 6 os's on my PC - one of them SteamOS - the rest are all versions of Linux...)
Also SteamOS is based on Debian Wheezy not Ubuntu
Running phoronix benchmarking tests SteamOS has 50% less fps in various games compared to kubuntu or Arch/Gnome3.12 - I think its because they use the version of Gnome3.x in Debian wheezy (which is 3.4) and compositing isn't correctly disabled in that version.

Top tip, power users – upgrading Ubuntu may knacker your Linux PC
No they run KDE generally
I have never met a 'power' user that runs Windows.
IF you want a desktop you can can really get to the 'guts' of then KDE/Linux is a good combo.
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: Great changes, but sssh don't mention the...
Kubuntu is an actual desktop however
I tried the new Ubuntu - its the best version of Unity yet (minus the Amazon spyware)
However it still stinks to do any work with - I tried fotr a few hours - then installed Kubuntu 14.04 which is by far the best release yet.
It is an actual real desktop, one that isn't designed for touchscreen and you can actually do some work in.

Xenon: Bitmap Brothers' (mega)blast from the past
Re: Bitmap Bros...
That's because those machines were from a time before Microsoft's monopoly damaged computing and set it back 5 - 10 yrs.
An Amiga 1200 (from 1991) compared to a windows PC from 1996
The Amiga ran at 14Mhz and had a 2MB RAM, the Windows PC I had ran at 166 Mhz and had 32MB RAM
- The Amiga booted up faster (seconds for a HDD boot into workbench)
- The Amiga was more responsive desktop
- The Amiga was more a more stable desktop (only games ever cause crashes...)
- The Amiga has sound that didn't stutter ALL THE GOD DAMN TIME
- The Amiga's graphics although lacked the 3D capabilities seems far faster - and didn't stutter ALL THE GOD DAMN TIME - at 1996 I saw nothing as impressive as 'state of the art' on a PC.
- Everything cost far more in Windows than the Amiga, there were loads of software on the Amiga that just didn't exist for Windows (i.e music production.) and equivalents that did cost often 2 - 10 X the amount (for less reliable software)
Going from the Amiga 1200 -> Win 95 was like a step into the Dark ages.
Thank god for Linux.
Hidden 'Windigo' UNIX ZOMBIES are EVERYWHERE
> Just a shame it's being used to automatically infect us :(
Yes Linux desktop users are pretty much safe from most malware/spyware still.
Yes - most people who don't understand even basic security on Linux will try to get (as an example) 'wordpress' to run by doing the following
- chmod -R 777 /var/www/crappysite.com
- disable SELINUX/APPARMOR (as it's 'interfering' with Wordpress)
- Maybe disabled the firewall (after all they couldn't get their 'Navicat' to connect...)
i.e in order to get a (in my mind) badly designed CMS system they have disabled pretty much all security.
Oh and there is also the fact that a lot of people running their own webservers didn't realise that (a) you had to install updates (b) that was meant to be done by them...
Q. Can your Linux PC run Crysis? OK, it can. But will it run natively? A. Soon, very soon
Native Civlisation ?
That's all I care about - Civ5 (and Civ6..) natively on Linux.
Civ5 btw is faster (in terms of 3d speed and time taken for the CPU to move) on Linux -> via wine than it is real Windows.
For the 3D speed you need Nvidia at present.
The only limitation now is lack to DX11 support.
Distro diaspora: Four flavours of Ubuntu unpacked
Re: I don't get it
That is not the case now - at least with 'good' distros.
I run Arch and Opensuse - Arch has enlightenment, cinnamon, Gnome3 and KDE - no update of one desktop has ever negatively effected another (in over 2 years).
I have heard of people running Ubuntu unity and being screwed by updating other desktop components - not that I care about people who run Unity.
Gnome3/Cinnamon are pretty and good for home use. For work I can only use KDE personally.
Re: Minty
Well you have Bodhi Linux
E17/19 is insanely fast and uses low resources - would seem far faster than XP did... They will always support a non PAE version. (including 14.04)
There is also Lubuntu fake-pae (not really sure about that)
Of course there is absolutely nothing (aside from knowledge/skill) preventing you compiling your own kernel with any distro and removing PAE - that's one of the beauties of Linux and opensource in general - flexibility.
i.e something you can never do with Microsoft/Apple OS's.
Wrong KDE version mentioned - its 4.13
The developers plan to use KDE 4.13 for kubuntu 14.04 - makes some sense as its 5 yr support.
The KDE 4.13 release schedule is roughly the same time as 14.04 release - this means there may be more bugs initially but better 'long term'.
That is unless done major breakage occurs

You know the best things about Linux vulnerabilities?
They normally get fixed quickly - unlike say with Windows.
Sometimes you can ever fix stuff yourself - with Windows often your at the mercy of one company to fix it for you.
Re: Run Kryten Smug-Mode
Redhat support OS's for 10 years.
Why the fuck would you want to run a desktop using 13 year old software anyway?
If you run debian or variant of it you can generally safely upgrade to the next version anyway (which stick with a shitty old OS?)
Whatever costs would be needed for a full scale migration of the NHS to Linux the savings over decades would outweigh those costs. Not to mention reliability and security - even the UK gov has said Ubuntu is more secure than Windows8/Mac
It would mean the tax payer no longer forced to fund an anti competitive patent troll also, another bonus would be the tax payer would be funding technological improvements for the entire world, not Microsoft's patent lawyers.
I went to an NHS hospital the other day and on a large computer screen (used in reception) it had a post it note that read ' When you lose networking reboot computer' ..... It was running Windows - I can't imagine a Linux desktop ever having that note on - I wonder how much productivity is lost just in that one reception thanks to the NHS using windows - can only imagine how much productivity is lost for the whole organisation.
Microsoft's licence riddles give Linux and pals a free ride to virtual domination
Re: IOPS - KVM speed
Also regarding IOPS -
" It also details test results that demonstrate that a single KVM
guest can handle more than 1.2 million I/O operations per second (IOPS) at 8KB I/O request
size and more than 1.5 million IOPS at 4KB and smaller request sizes – the
highest storage I/O performance ever reported in a virtualized environment."
So your statement regarding VMWARE /HyperV IOPS speed being greater than KVM was just plain wrong....

Re: KVM = fastest Windows Virtualisation performance
Did you house your Windows VM in an LVM partition, instead of a QCOW image?
Only when I do that coupled with the cache settings NONE/NATIVE does Windows IO speed outperform other types of virtualisation - i.e you NEED to install inside an LVM partition (and use Virtio drivers to get 'proper' speed)
Also your wrong about IOPS. KVM currently holds the IOP's world record...
'KVM has achieved World Record IOPS: 1,402,720 IOPS on a IBM x3850 X5 for 8KB request using 7 SCSI pass-through devices.. For 1 KB requests, can achieve 1.65M IOPS.'

Ronnie Richardson whacked a go-ahead grand slam in the seventh inning, and the TinCaps rallied past West Michigan 6-4 on Thursday night at Parkview Field.
Trea Turner worked an 11-pitch walk to load the bases with one out. Richardson followed with his fourth home run off Detroit Tigers reliever Luke Putkonen, who is on an injury rehabilitation assignment.
As the 1-0 pitch landed in the seats in left field, the crowd roared in appreciation, perhaps recognizing the importance of that swing to Fort Wayne's playoff chase.
The TinCaps (59-75, 30-36 second half) moved into a tie with Dayton for the Eastern Division wild card, though Dayton owns the tiebreaker. The victory, combined with losses by Great Lakes and Bowling Green, puts the TinCaps directly behind Dayton in the standings.
TinCaps slugger Fernando Perez homered in the first, raising his RBI total to a franchise-record 92. Current big leaguer Will Venable drove in 91 runs in 2006.
TinCaps starter Jimmi Brasoban pitched five innings but walked off the mound in the sixth trailing 2-1. Jason Jester relieved and gave up an RBI single to Jeff Holm.
After Jake Bauers hit an RBI single in bottom of the sixth, West Michigan pushed ahead 4-2 by scoring on Dustin Peterson's error in the seventh.
Nick Mutz held the lead in the eighth and closer Ryan Butler touched 100 mph several times to strike out all three batters he faced for his ninth save.
The TinCaps have taken the first two matchups of a three-game series with the first-place Whitecaps (80-56, 39-27). The finale is Friday at Parkview Field in the TinCaps' last home game of the season.

Open Diff: Have you ever driven a car that scared you?
At Second Creek, Colorado, in 1991. Even racing a Pinto with the stock fuel tank didn't worry me. Photo by Lynette Koch.
It's that time of year again, when kids celebrate the mythical lifting of the veil between worlds by dressing in costume and going door-to-door on the hunt for candy. As adults, we know the scariest time of the year comes on April 15, when taxes are due, but even flipping on the television news these days is enough to give most a fright. In keeping with this theme, I pose a simple question: Have you ever driven a car that scared you?
Sadly, I have not, and I'm not sure if that's due to a lack of common sense or a lack of opportunity. I've driven many suitable candidates over the years, including a college roommate's ancient Audi 100, which required hot-wiring the fuel pump relay with a guitar pick to start, had marginal brakes (and I'm truly being kind here) and ran on a set of Michelin radials that were nearly bald and crumbling with dry rot. In good weather, driving the Audi posed little challenge, but one morning-after-a-blizzard trek from Golden (where my girlfriend, now wife, lived) to Boulder, Colorado, was truly the white-knuckled stuff of driving nightmares. Suffice it to say I mastered the Scandinavian flick that morning, and also learned that there are times when a red light means look both ways before heading through the intersection, as losing forward momentum means not recovering it. Thankfully, the roads were deserted, since most had the common sense to stay off them.
Later in life, I was lucky enough to drive a wide array of cars on race tracks, in all kinds of weather. Neither a Cadillac CTS-V, with its formidable 556 horsepower, nor a damp racetrack caused me much concern, and the same can be said of a delivery-miles only Type 991 Porsche 911 on a track best described as "under water." The 2013 Nissan GT-R, while impressive and adrenaline-producing at speed, really wasn't intimidating no matter how hard it was pushed in the confines of a track environment.
None of this is to say that my driving talent is exceptional, as I learned long ago that I'll never be the fast guy in the room. At best, I'm average among drivers with track time, and my greatest skill seems to be the ability to get nearly anything around a track, at reasonable but not record-setting velocities, in a safe manner.
There are cars out there that would surely break my "curse" (the Porsche 917K immediately springs to mind), though I'm fairly certain I'll never have the opportunity to climb behind the wheel of one for laps at speed. That said, what car (or even what road or track) left you shaking and bathed in sweat, promising that you'd forever drive boring cars if you just survived the day?
Open Diff: What automotive terms are facing extinction?
The horizontal speedometer of a 1974 Plymouth Satellite. Photo by Bob Sekeksky.
Editor's note: This Open Diff piece comes from Hemmings Motor News account executive Bradford Kosich, who perpetually has grease beneath his fingernails and some sort of injury from working on his latest project car.
One of the great things about working at Hemmings Motor News is that readers frequently share pictures of their restoration projects with staff members. Just the other day, a reader sent me photos of his 1974 Plymouth Satellite, documenting the entire restoration process. One of the shots featured an old-style horizontal speedometer, which brought me back to the days of my youth and the old Pontiac Bonneville that I learned to drive on. We affectionately called the car "Meatloaf" due to its brown color and large, homogenous shape, but the car's saving grace was the 455-cu.in. V-8 beneath its hood.
As I traveled down this nostalgic road, I remembered a term from my youth that has all but disappeared from today's lexicon…"pinning" the speedometer.
This started me thinking about other automotive terms and phrases that have gone by the wayside or lost their original meaning. "Rolling up the window" has become obsolete, as even the least expensive contemporary economy cars come with power windows in place of manual cranks. Few modern drivers will understand the meanings behind "pull out the choke," "gapping the points," "flooded carburetor," or even "sealed-beam headlamp," since today's automobiles contain none of these components. There are no more "three on the tree" or "four on the floor" shifters, and when it comes to tires, bias now means favoring one manufacturer over another.
Sure, those of us in the old car hobby will continue to keep these terms alive for the near future, but there's no escaping the fact that these words and phrases are on the endangered species list. What other automotive terms are in danger of going the way of the dodo?
Open Diff: Is the hunt the best part of acquiring a project car?
Photo by John Lloyd.
Thanks to a fortunate blend of circumstances, I'm once again on the hunt for a project car to park in the garage. Though still in the very early stages of the quest, I'd forgotten how much of a Christmas-morning-like thrill it was to track down the right car, within a reasonable distance, equipped with the right options and in the right condition. In fact, the search itself could be the best part of acquiring a project car.
Identifying the specific make and model is, perhaps, the easy part, but then the question of what year arises. Every production year for every model has its pros and cons, so narrowing the range to meet expectations and budget becomes the first of many complications. Once this issue is settled, the next roadblock is defining the trim level and, if applicable, the optional equipment.
Then there's the question of mileage. In a modern automobile, 100,000 miles is no longer the concern it once was, assuming ownership records prove that recommended maintenance was performed. That said, some of us (myself included) prefer cars with a bit less "experience," which can greatly complicate the search for a car that's long ago seen its first, second or third decade. Ultimately, color can be something of a moot point, because if a project car ticks off all the other boxes, avoiding it based on hue alone will almost certainly lead to later disappointment.
Of course I'm checking the Hemmings Motor News classifieds, as well as the other usual suspects, but the Southern Vermont geographic area isn't exactly a hotbed for used cars, unless one is shopping for a pickup, sport utility or Subaru. That said, I embrace the challenge, and reluctantly admit that I'm in no hurry to draw the search for the right car (in my case, a 1994 to 2005 Mazda Miata, which crosses over the first and second generations) to a hasty conclusion.
Can it safely be said, then, that the hunt is the best part of the entire process?
Open Diff – Is the American junkyard doomed?
Photo by kustommghia.
Quite a few of the comments in the 8,000-car Hemmings Find of the Day surprised me. I fully expected the attempts to pool our money and buy the Idaho salvage yard, but didn't expect so many to simply calculate the value of all that scrap metal and look at the yard as a mere profit/loss deal. Sure, 8,000 cars and $3 million ain't no pocket change for many (okay, pretty much all) of us, but I wonder if there's more to it than that.
Consider how many junkyards (I much prefer that term over salvage yards, scrap yards, or whatever other synonyms people come up with to try to give the yards a friendlier image) are folding or have folded in recent years, how much automotive history is headed to the crusher, how many owners are choosing to retire from the business. Yes, the economy of high scrap prices and insurance premiums, pressure from developers flashing wads of cash, and constraints of environmental policies all figure into a junkyard owner's decision to sell or scrap, but there's gotta be more to the decline of the American junkyard.
Nowadays, it seems there's more interest in going through junkyards to take pictures of the rust and decay than there is in buying parts from junkyards or even stepping up to take over a junkyard's operations. These are the places where many a gearhead cut his or her teeth (and, likely, a finger or two on rusted sheetmetal), and it seems that if there's any future for them at all, it's not as mom-n-pop back-40 menageries of old cars and school buses filled with random parts, it's as sanitized Walmart-style processing centers where there's less thought given to who can use the parts than how soon they can fill another truckload of scrap.
"A bygone era, I fear," Don Homuth wrote. "But nice to remember."
Or maybe that's just how Don and I see things. Do you see any future for the junkyards we knew and loved, or do you see them all gobbled up by suburban sprawl and the commodification of cars? If you were to be tasked with saving an old-school junkyard, how would you do it? And if all these old junkyards go extinct, how much harder will it be to preserve American automotive history?

Open Diff – How do you keep rust at bay?
"Light rust." Photo by the author.
This morning's little lecture about how salt accelerates the rusting process brought out a few interesting comments on how some people combat the tin worm – post-salt scrub-downs and waste-oil belly sprays among them. But from spending a few years in this hobby, we know that just about everybody out there has their own brand of both preventative medicine to ward off rust as well as their favorite weapons in the war on iron oxide. So share with us your most effective means of dealing with rust and, for extra credit, using today's salt lecture, give us the specific chemical, electrical, physical, psychological, mystical, manual, or pharmaceutical reasons why you believe that method works best.
My preferred method, like many Northeasterners, is to use a sacrificial anode of sorts: a winter beater. My AMX – or any vehicle I plan on keeping for a good long while – doesn't come out of the garage until after the towns come out with their streetsweepers in the spring to wash all the salt off the roads. Yes, I like to advocate driving old cars whenever possible, but I can't condone destroying them.
By the way, just a reminder that the comments here are for civil and on-topic discussion. Stray too far off-topic, start calling people names, or generally make a nuisance of yourself and your commenting privileges will get yanked. That goes for this post and every other post on this blog. Thank you.
Open Diff – What was your best wintertime car?

A blanket of white has twice descended upon the Hemmings offices this year, and all signs point to it being a long, cold and frosty winter. On the drive home last night, traveling Bennington's unplowed street, my snow-tire-shod Volkswagen GTI tackled the hills without much complaint, but traction was still what I'd call sub-optimal, even for for conditions. This got me thinking about another Volkswagen from my distant past, a 1967 Beetle, which, when fitted with skinny lug "snow" tires, could handle the very worst a Northeast winter could dish out.
With a tire contact patch roughly the size of a quarter (not literally, but give me some artistic license) and the bulk of its weight centered over the drive wheels, the Volkswagen Beetle could plow through nearly any amount of snow, delivering a surprising amount of grip even in slush and on packed snow. Admittedly, the "forced air" heating system was about as effective as lighting a Zippo, the defroster was utterly non-existent and the car's propensity for oversteer on ice required constant attention behind the wheel, but the original Volkswagen Beetle still ranks up there with the most confidence-inspiring winter vehicles I've ever driven.
Assuming that winter is a fact of life where you live, what was the best car you've ever driven in snow? Do you have a wintertime ritual (such as mounting snow tires and throwing a bag of kitty litter in the trunk), or you leave things to fate and a set of all season radials? Do you have a "winter beater," or do you drive the same car all year long?
Open Diff – What's on your holiday wish list?
The auto enthusiast's shopping mall. Photo by Rene Schwietzke.
The season of giving is once again upon us, and those of us in the hobby are fairly particular about the parts that go into our cars, as well as the tools we use to wrench on them. That can make holiday gift-giving a challenge for friends and relatives because few consider junkyards a viable place to browse for presents, and fewer still have the patience to track down Snap-On route drivers to browse for holiday gift ideas. While the thought of receiving brake rotors, assorted interior parts or pitted chrome trim may not appeal to everyone, those of us with 10w-40 in our veins appreciate the effort that goes into procuring such treasured gifts.
Which, of course, brings up the question: "What, aside from a renewed subscription to all Hemmings magazines, is on your holiday wish list?" Are you looking for the unobtainable bit of bodywork necessary to complete a long-delayed restoration? A period-correct carburetor to bring a certain muscle car back to life? A compressor and spray gun so that you no longer have to be seen driving a car bedecked in a primer-gray livery?
Perhaps some of you may even be hoping for the keys to a Series I Jaguar E-Type, or to a 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, while others would be content with a replacement 3/8-inch-drive metric socket set. Let us know what you're hoping for, automotive-wise, this holiday season.
Open Diff – Is any car too valuable to drive?
Juan Manuel Fangio's Mercedes-Benz W196. Photo courtesy Bonhams.
A recent Hemmings Find of the Day spurred some reader objections to my comment that a car restored to "better than new" condition – with every nut, bolt and chalk mark existing precisely as the car rolled off the assembly line – may be too valuable to drive on a regular basis. While we're all for exercising cars on a regular basis, we're realists, too, and understand that owners who have gone to extreme lengths of time and finances to construct their vision of the "perfect" car may be reluctant to risk damage or wear by racking up non-essential miles. This, in turn, leads us to a question: Is there such a thing as a car that's too valuable to drive?
Before you fire back an answer, let's ponder a few fictional scenarios. Say, for example, a long-lost relative from across the pond surfaces, and bequeaths you an original, never-titled 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, with nothing but delivery miles on the odometer. Assuming that you can afford the cost of importation, maintenance and collector car insurance, is the car, in its wholly original state, too valuable to drive? If the expenses of ownership and upkeep weren't a burden, does such a car have more value in a museum, preserved in a truly original state, than on public roads?
Mercedes-Benz constructed 867 300 SL coupes in 1955, the highest production year. That would make such a fictional car valuable, but not exactly irreplaceable. Damage a panel, and replacements can be sourced; wear out a mechanical component, and the same (generally) holds true. For a second example, then, let's go a bit more extreme and raise the same question in regard to Juan Manuel Fangio's Mercedes-Benz W196, sold in July for an auction-record price of $29.65 million.
For the buyer, clearly the financial cost of running the car is of little concern, but what about the other potential costs of operating the car? As a racer, the Mercedes can't be driven on the street, and no one brings a car to a race track for casual laps at wholly safe speeds. If the W196 is exercised as its designers and builders intended, the risks to the car become substantial; what would the liability of a tire failure at triple-digit speeds be (suspending, for a moment, the risk to life and limb)? Factor in other cars, as in a vintage race event, and the risk (and with it, the potential cost) goes up exponentially. Stack this particular race car, and recreating parts becomes only a minor concern; as a one-of-one example with strong ties to a historic figure from the glory days of Grand Prix racing, do the risks of operation outweigh the benefits?
There are plenty of other scenarios that I could pitch for illustration, but I'm sure you get the point. Now, then, back to the question: Is there such a thing as a car that's too valuable to drive?
Open Diff – Will any cars never become collectible?
1980 Oldsmobile Omega. Photo courtesy OldCarBrochures.org.
Look in the comments of Kurt's recent Cadillac Cimarron story – or, for that matter, any of his Lost Cars of the 1980s stories – and you'll find plenty of naysayers to decry a car as unworthy of a collector's fancy to go along with plenty of supporters who remember the car fondly (or, at least, fondly-ish). While the mix varies, we always seem to hear from at least one or a handful of people who would like to have another example of that car, whatever it may be, and that got us to wonder whether any cars could ever become so completely undesirable that nobody would ever collect them?
Of course, plenty of us under the age of, say, 85 have heard from older auto enthusiasts that anything built on a production line or anything built after World War II was merely everyday transportation and not worth even a second glance. I recall reading a Special Interest Autos article from 1973 that asked whether any car or truck from the 1960s would ever become collectible. Yet as we see every day here, postwar, plebeian, and Seventies and Eighties cars are receiving the collectible treatment nowadays.
I've always subscribed to the belief that the collector car market is driven by nostalgia and that cars one generation thought of as disposable will become the next generation's sought-after must-have item. Think of it like the peaks and troughs of a wave – every old car goes through a period when it's just a used car, of little interest to most people, but then the passage of time and the march of generations helps to lift its profile. In other words, just because you (or I, or the next guy) don't appreciate an older car doesn't mean that the entire world thinks the same way or that you (or I, or the next guy) has outlined The One True Philosophy Of Collector Cars.
Or maybe I'm wrong. Will anybody ever restore a 1980 Oldsmobile Omega? Will anybody ever specialize in keeping four-door Ford Fiestas and LH-series Chryslers and Kia Sportages on the road? And by asking these questions, do I sound too much like those people who once claimed nobody would ever care about old Edsels and Vegas and every other car built since FDR was president?
Open Diff: Where do you draw the line between restoration project and parts car?
Photo by Carol M. Highsmith, courtesy Library of Congress.
The recent Lambrecht Chevrolet auction in Pierce, Nebraska, saw a plethora of low-mileage cars from the 1950s and 1960s change hands at (often) jaw-dropping prices. Heard from buyers of several lots was that the cars weren't purchased for preservation or for restoration, but instead were bought for their unobtanium content of rare spare parts.
That got us thinking about the often-blurry line between a parts car and a full-on restoration project. At what point do you throw in the towel on a restoration and accept that a once-in-a-lifetime barn find is a financial and emotional black hole, spawned from the depths of hell to drain your bank account and crush your soul in equal measure? Conversely, when does a parts car become the basis for a logic-or-sanity-be-damned restoration project? Does money even factor into such a decision, or is it entirely based on passion?
