It's all about taking Canterbury's milk to the world, Fonterra Director John Monaghan said at the official opening April 12.
"This new rail link connects Fonterra's Darfield's distribution centre to New Zealand's busiest rail line through to Lyttleton Ports of Christchurch. From there it's on to China, South East Asia and the Middle East," he said.
General Manager Logistics Network Development & Design Andy Sanderson said rail connects Fonterra to New Zealand's key ports, from where products are exported to over 100 markets around the world.
"Fonterra Darfield is on track to produce 85,000 metric tonnes of milk powder for customers this season, and our new rail link will provide a safe, efficient connection to Lyttleton Ports of Christchurch," he said.
"There's also a benefit for local motorists, with a reduction in local truck movements. The train is expected to carry the freight of approximately 90 trucks every day when the second drier comes on line later this year.
"Rail also delivers environmental and financial benefits with fewer emissions and economies of scale that mean we drive better returns to our farmer-shareholders," Sanderson said.
Key to the success of the project was the partnership between Fonterra, KiwiRail, our building contractors and the local community.
"The close working relationship has enabled the project to come in on time and on budget on a site that's also processing milk and building a second milk powder drier.
"It's a fantastic achievement and tribute to the hard work of everyone involved," said Sanderson.
The site's second Distribution Centre has also been completed on schedule and progress on the site's second drier remains on track, with the first milk powder scheduled for late August.
Minister for the Environment and Selwyn MP Amy Adams was among the guests to arrive on the first train, with Minister Adams officially declaring the rail link open a short time later.
Fonterra Darfield rail link facts
• The new rail link measures 700 metres in length and connects the site's distribution centre to the main trunk line.
• There are three 620 metre rail sidings for loading containers.
• The container loading pavement area measures 22,000m2 – equal to 33 tennis courts.
• With both driers running at capacity the rail link will save approximately 17,000 truck journeys per year, or 90 per day at the peak of the season.

Appellate court turns back Hosking's fake cattle ranch
Blue brothers wanted to subdivide Julian land
Dryw Keltz 4:20 p.m., Aug. 20
There's no place like Rainbow. This low mountain ecotone combines riparian woodland with coastal sage scrub, creating an expansive earth tone canvas splashed with Live Oak, Palms, citrus, and multi-colored flowering plants. The canyons act as a giant condenser, capturing and cooling the marine breezes from Oceanside. The peaks of Olympus Mount and Monserate Mountain are occasionally shrouded in morning clouds as a result, offering a welcome riposte to the generally classic Californian sunny blue skies. A lifetime resident described to me the weather here as "Springtime (that) last(s) forever." After nearly two years here myself, I have to agree.
I began my new life in Rainbow a year after my wife's sudden death. We had found ourselves washed up and marooned in Temecula after losing our jobs and home in the recession/depression/downturn of 2008-2009. After several weeks of moving from motel to motel, we ensconced ourselves in a small studio and redoubled our efforts to regroup. She had talked frequently about her desire to move to Rainbow when we got back our our feet. Within a month she had developed pneumonia. After two weeks in the ICU, she was dead, and I was left alone with two kids and an autistic stepson to take care of.
I did get things together, and when I did, I searched for and found a rental house in Rice Canyon. She would have been quite pleased with my selection, downright proud of me. Sometimes I wake up and can't wait to tell her about the house I got for us, the view, the grove of trees, the acres of yard - all in Rainbow, her favorite place; then I come back to reality and remember she's gone.
Each day is a lot like the last here. The serenity is punctuated from time to time by the tactile bursts of sound from Marine exercises miles to the west, but other than that, the area feels like Eden itself. Some days, I speculate that perhaps it is actually me who died rather than my wife, and I'm trapped inside the last few moments of my dying brain activity.
Maybe this is all a dream. A very literal dream, but a dream nonetheless. It would explain why I don't seem to make a whole lot of personal progress. Not only do I not really want to leave this place, I can't leave.
Search as I may, I could think of no better place to blissfully fade away than here. No place like Rainbow.
I know the feeling--patience. Sorry to hear about your loss but do hope to see you out walking one day along the quiet country lanes. Came home with a lovely bouquet of wild flowers the other day and I hadn't picked a bunch like that in years. This was a very sweet tribute,Masamune.
Thank you, Roody. I'm sure you'll see me walking the lanes if your timing is right.
this is a first prize winner Masamune
i send u energy and beg that u write more about ur life in Rainbow...ur style is splendiferous ...and so quietly authentic i may just camp out on this page and wait 4 more
congrats on the 3rd place win

New platform will offer more access and opportunities for exam-takers
Washington, D.C., January 9, 2014 – Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. announced today that it is transitioning to a computer-based testing platform for its CFP® Certification Examination, offering individuals more accessibility to complete initial certification requirements.
Read answers to frequently asked questions
The move to computer-based testing (CBT) will be effective with the November 2014 exam. The final paper-based exams will be administered this March (March 21-22, 2014) and July (July 18-19, 2014).
"This move to computer-based testing provides test-takers increased opportunities to take the exam while retaining the rigor of the CFP® Certification Examination," said CFP Board's Chief Executive Officer Kevin R. Keller, CAE. "Those taking the CFP® Certification Examination will find a greatly improved experience that tests their knowledge of financial planning and helps prepare them to be ethical and competent CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals."
The CFP® Certification Examination is just one of several criteria that need to be met in order to become CFP® professionals. In addition to passing the exam, candidates also must meet CFP Board's experience requirements, pass a background check, have a Bachelor's degree (or higher) and successfully complete a college-level program of study in personal financial planning.
One of the greatest benefits to computer-based testing is that exam-takers will immediately have access to preliminary – though unofficial – results of their exam. Official results will be available within 1-2 weeks versus the current 5 weeks.
Additional benefits of computer-based testing include:
In making the transition to CBT, CFP Board is joining many other certifying bodies that administer exams through computer based testing, including the National Board of Medical Examiners, National Association of Boards of Pharmacy, American Board of Surgery and the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians. The CPA exam as well as various FINRA exams are also administered through CBT.
Prometric, a leading provider in testing services, is serving as CFP Board's partner in administering the CFP® Certification Examination.
The mission of Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. is to benefit the public by granting the CFP® certification and upholding it as the recognized standard of excellence for competent and ethical personal financial planning. The Board of Directors, in furthering CFP Board's mission, acts on behalf of the public, CFP® professionals and other stakeholders. CFP Board owns the certification marks CFP®, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, CFP® (with plaque design) and CFP® (with flame design) in the U.S., which it awards to individuals who successfully complete CFP Board's initial and ongoing certification requirements. CFP Board currently authorizes more than 69,000 individuals to use these marks in the U.S.

The White House has reached out to Texas Republican Gov. Rick Perry about the possibility of a meeting on the burgeoning U.S.-Mexico border crisis, after Perry had snubbed the White House's offer for Perry to greet Obama when he lands at Austin's airport on Wednesday.
"The president would welcome a meeting with you while he is in Texas," White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett wrote in the letter to Perry, sent Monday evening. "In addition, he asked me to invite you to join him for a meeting to discuss the situation on the border with faith leaders and local elected officials in Dallas on Wednesday."
In a letter sent earlier Monday, Perry had rejected the White House's offer of an airport handshake and instead requested a private, "substantive meeting" with the president. Prior to the White House's letter, it had not publicly announced the meeting in Dallas.
A spokeswoman for Perry told Business Insider he accepted the White House invitation.
"Gov. Perry is pleased that President Obama has accepted his invitation to discuss the humanitarian and national security crises along our southern border, and he looks forward to meeting with the president tomorrow," said Lucy Nashed, the spokeswoman.
Perry has been especially critical of Obama's handling of the border crisis, even suggesting Obama might be involved somehow in coordinating the surge of immigrants flooding across the border.
Obama administration officials said last month that, as of June 15, 52,000 unaccompanied children from Central America have been apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border this year. In addition, border officials have taken into custody 39,000 more adults with children as of May 31.
Hundreds are coming over the border every day, mostly making their way from violence-stricken areas in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. The causes for the influx are many, but a large portion are children fleeing increased drug and gang violence.
Obama will spend two days this week in Texas, where he will participate in fundraisers for Democratic fundraisers and a speech on the economy in Austin.
Jarrett stressed in her letter to Perry that the White House was employing a "whole-of government response" to address the humanitarian crisis along the border. She listed off bullet points of the focus of Obama's coming $2 billion request to Congress to bolster efforts to stabilize the situation.
"The president hopes you will join him in urging Congress to quickly pass the emergency funding to deal with the current situation at the border," Jarrett wrote.
This post was updated at 12:07 p.m. ET with Perry's response.

'Sorry' says Israel's Netanyahu, opening way for diplomatic relations with Turkey
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apologized Friday to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, ending a nearly three-year-long feud in a phone call brokered by President Barack Obama.
Obama said that "the timing was right" for Israel and Turkey to begin repairing diplomatic relations, which were frozen when Israeli naval commandos raided a Turkish ship, Mavi Marmara, that was attempting to break an Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip; nine Turkish nationals on board were killed.
Netanyahu apologized for the raid Friday, admitting that there had been "operational failures" and offering compensation for those killed. Israeli officials said the phone conversation had lasted 10 minutes, and by its end the two leaders had agreed to begin normalizing diplomatic relations. Just four years ago, Turkey was considered one of Israel's closest allies in the region. The two countries staged regular joint military training exercises and had an open line of communication among the various divisions of their armed forces. Israeli pilots trained in Turkish skies, improving their capability to carry out long-range missions such as possible strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities.
Regional political analysts said the reconciliation was a win-win situation for all the parties involved.
For Obama, the surprise diplomatic coup capped off a visit to Israel that has been lauded as a home run by Israeli officials who feel the president has won over the skeptical Israeli public and showed that he can have a positive working relationship with the Israeli government. Netanyahu, in turn, can tell his intelligence and military echelons to resume lucrative arms deals with Turkey and the sharing of information vis a vis Iran, while Erdogan can boast that he forced an apology out of the Israeli premier.
In a statement, Obama welcomed the call, saying, "The United States deeply values our relationships with both Turkey and Israel, and we attach great importance to the restoration of positive relations between them, in order to advance regional peace and security."
Erdogan's office announced the Israeli apology. "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has apologized to the Turkish nation for all errors that caused loss of life and injuries, and the Turkish prime minister accepted this apology on behalf of the Turkish nation," the press release said. It quoted Netanyahu as telling the Turkish premier that Israel has lifted restrictions on the entrance of goods for civilians' use to Palestinian territories including Gaza.
In a press background briefing, a senior White House administration official explained that improving regional relations and regional cooperation had been behind the push to repair the relationship between the two countries.
"You know the expression the enemy of my enemy is my friend? Well, that explains why Israel and Turkey have decided to rekindle their friendship," said one senior Israeli official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the issue. "They have a lot of mutual problems that will be easier to work on together than separately."
The official, who said he was briefed Friday morning on the possibility that Netanyahu could make a call to Erdogan, added that "the call probably wouldn't have happened if Obama hadn't pushed, even though both sides knew it should happen."
Dan Arbell, a scholar of Middle East policy at the Brookings Institution in Washington, wrote in December of small signs that Turkey and Israel might finally be moving toward a rapprochement.
Turkey, he wrote, had tired of watching the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt "take center stage" in orchestrating a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas and felt marginalized on the most recent negotiations on Gaza. In addition, Arbell added, as the Syrian crisis encroaches on Turkey's borders, the Erdogan administration would seek improved intelligence cooperation with Israel.
"Turkey's recent moves can be attributed to a growing realization that it has hurt its interests and hampered its diplomatic efforts by not maintaining dialogue and open channels with Israel," Arbell wrote.
In recent months, Israeli officials have expressed increased concern that the ongoing civil war in Syria could spill out onto Israel's borders, and that the vast weapons stockpiles – including chemical weapons and anti-aircraft systems – could make their way into the hands of hard-line Islamist movements. Turkey shares similar concerns, especially as hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees have sought refuge in southern Turkey and used the border between the two countries to plan attacks and move weapons into the hands of opposition forces fighting against Syrian President Bashar Assad. Israeli officials have pushed, in the past, for a contingency plan to be formed that would secure not just Syria's chemical weapons, but also other weapons systems.
"Israel does not want to see a situation like that which happened in Libya when (former Libyan leader Moammar) Gadhafi fell, when the weapons went to the highest bidder. They do not want a free for all," said retired Israeli Brig. Gen. Michael Herzog.
In addition to Obama's efforts, Secretary of State John Kerry spent his first month in office also trying to nudge the two U.S. allies toward rapprochement, spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters at a State Department briefing Friday. She said U.S. officials had hoped the meeting would be the site of such a move and were "gratified" that the reconciliation had occurred.
However, Nuland didn't have a ready answer on the reasons for the timing or other underlying reasons for Israel's apology three years after the deadly incident.
Political analysts floated several competing theories on their Twitter accounts, blogs and online policy journals: Was it necessary so that Israel could enlist Turkish support for any potential action against Iran over its outlaw nuclear program? Was it to strengthen ties between two of Syria's neighbors who are equally concerned with the bloodshed spilling across borders and further inflaming an already precarious region? Then there were the even more nuanced hypotheses. Was it to entice Turkey back toward the European fold as new Islamist-led Arab governments court Erdogan's administration? Or maybe it was so that Turkey would stop opposing joint NATO-Israel exercises?
Meanwhile, cynical Arab observers issued tongue-in-cheek congratulations to Obama via Twitter, commending him for brokering a peace agreement in Israel that had nothing to do with the Palestinians. They also criticized Turkey for accepting the apology when Israel's blockade of Gaza is still in effect.
"So it appears that Obama was in Israel to push for peace efforts between Israel and Turkey – not Palestine!" tweeted the London-based Iraqi journalist and commentator Mina al Oraibi.

My friend with the double name
Wick's World
He had one of those double names like Jim James or Joan Jones. Dr. Robert E. Roberts was simply Bob Roberts to every soul lucky enough to cross his path. He was Dr. Bob the dentist, a race car driver, and a stunt pilot.
When I met him a couple decades ago, he was Bob Roberts, the founder and leader of Project Return, the only prison rehab program in the country funded by the Department of Justice. He had brought to Sturgeon Lake a half dozen ex-cons fresh out of one of our nation's most brutal prisons. They were mostly African-Americans who had served their time in Angola State Penitentiary in the state of Louisiana. Bob had started a program that paired recently released prisoners with mentors who were also ex-cons. They helped the parolees blend back into society. You can learn all about this program in Bob's book called, "My Soul said to Me."
Every year I would spend an adventure-filled week in the Minnesota woods with Bob and his Project Return friends. The program's small recidivism rate kept his program running until a few years ago when America began its path toward de-funding social programs. Project Return was one of those terminated.
That was the beginning of some hard times for Bob. He had recently lost his wife, Rosie, to cancer. Rosie was a sweet southern belle who was Harry Connick's legal secretary and a family friend. Harry the elder was the New Orleans DA and the father to singer/actor Harry Connick Jr. Bob had a lot of friends in New Orleans and all over the country and a whole lot of people knew Bob. Soon Bob would need his friends.
Although Bob was in deep grief from his losses, we all knew him as a brave man who had stared down adversity before. Twenty years ago, he was sent home with a large inoperable brain tumor. His doctor told him to get his affairs in order. Instead, Bob went to a cave in New Mexico with my friend and teacher, a very powerful Mayan medicine man. A month later, Bob returned to his doctor for tests. The doctors were astounded by the results. The tumor was gone.
Last spring, Bob notified his Minnesota friends that he wouldn't be coming to camp this year. He had a deadly form of cancer and once again was sent home to die. This time, Bob took a different path. He went to the Bahamas instead. For the next six months he was treated by doctors through an experimental vitamin therapy. Soon Bob had recovered enough to return to his home in New Orleans and began yet another new chapter in his life.
Last week, he heard from an old friend that an essay he had written five years ago had been chosen for publication in a popular online magazine. Two hours later, Bob was cruising down Interstate Highway 10 when he had a seizure. Eyewitnesses stated that he was speeding and driving erratically. He was aware enough to take the exit and try to get off the highway. Unfortunately, he rear-ended a Toyota, spun his car around and crashed into a concrete bridge abutment.
In a normal year, I would have just recently seen Bob up at Camp Miller. But this wasn't a normal year with a normal ending. Bob died instantly. The pain was over for him, but not for all his friends and family he left behind.
A few days later, a friend of Bob's posted this amazingly prophetic poem he had written almost exactly four years before Bob died. He had never shared the poem with anyone, including Bob.
When Bob was young he
flew his aerobatic airplane.
Spinning, spiraling, diving down.
Down, down into the air
just above the people there.
Bob says when pilots
point their plane into the
low sun, the strobe
of the propeller
can move the brain
to full-blown seizure.
Bob has ejected.
His plane now is the open chute
hovering over the new-mown hay.
His family looks aloft and says,
"Oh, joy! Bob is coming home."

Dear Bald Man Ahead of Me in Line, Dude, we need to talk. Before I make a few points I have to ask you some questions so please be patient. 1) Are you a pirate?

Power restored at damaged nuclear plant in Japan
TOKYO – Cooling systems were restored for four fuel storage pools at Japan's tsunami-damaged nuclear plant, more than a day after a power outage halted the supply of fresh cooling water and raised concerns about the safety of the facility, which still relies on makeshift equipment.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. said the cooling system at the last pool at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant was repaired early Wednesday. It said pool temperatures were well within safe levels and the reactors were unaffected.
TEPCO spokesman Yoshikazu Nagai said workers were still trying to determine the cause of the cooling failure, which began when a brief power blackout hit the plant Tuesday evening.
About 50 workers in hazmat suits and full-face masks were mobilized to fix the cabling to three switchboards that were suspected of involvement in the problem. TEPCO also prepared a backup system in case the repairs didn't fix the issue and "worse comes to worst," company spokesman Masayuki Ono said earlier Tuesday.
A massive earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011, caused extensive damage to the plant. Massive radiation leaks at that time contaminated air, water and soil around the plant, causing some 160,000 residents to evacuate.
The latest power outage was a test for TEPCO to show if it has learned anything from the disaster. TEPCO, which has faced repeated cover-up scandals, was slammed by local media Tuesday for waiting hours to disclose the blackout.
Ono acknowledged the plant was vulnerable.
"Fukushima Dai-ichi still runs on makeshift equipment, and we are trying to switch to something more permanent and dependable, which is more desirable," he said. "Considering the equipment situation, we may be pushing a little too hard."
Ono said the utility did not immediately try to switch to a backup cooling system because doing so without finding and fixing the cause could lead to a repeat of the problem.
There is a backup cooling system but no backup outside power source. TEPCO has backup cooling systems with separate power sources for reactor cooling, but fuel storage pools only have emergency diesel generators as a backup. TEPCO said it will consider installing backup outside power for the pools.
The Unit 3 and 4 reactors share a makeshift switchboard that sits on the back of a truck, but an upgrade to a permanent, safer location is being planned later this month. Reactor cooling water pumps also sit on the back of a truck, with hoses traveling several kilometers (miles) to reach the reactors.
"We have a ton of problems that still need to be taken care of to overcome the challenges that we have never experienced before," Ono said. But he denied the power outage would affect the plant's long-term cleanup plans.
Regulators have raised concerns about the makeshift equipment and urged the plant to switch to a more permanent arrangement. The operator still has to remove melted, highly radioactive fuel from the reactors before fully decommissioning the plant, which officials say could take 40 years.
Chief government spokesman Yoshihide Suga sought to allay concerns.
"We have put in place measures that leave no room for worry," Suga told a regular briefing.
The command center at the plant suffered a brief power outage before 7 p.m. Monday. Electricity was quickly restored there but not to equipment pumping water into the fuel pools.
The temperature in the four pools had risen slightly, but was well below the utility's target control temperature of 65 degrees Celsius, TEPCO said.
"We don't believe the Fukushima disaster is under control," said Yuko Endo, chief of nearby Kawauchi village, part of which remains restricted because of radiation contamination, keeping hundreds of residents away from their homes. Officials are struggling to make the area livable again, but people cannot return home unless they feel confident about the plant's stability, he said.

Blue Jays Recreate Bull Durham Speech

Saturday was the 25th anniversary of the release of Bull Durham. #MLBFC pic.twitter.com/94AEiXuaye- MLB Fan Cave (@MLBFanCave) June 18, 2013
To mark the 25th anniversary of the classic baseball film Bull Durham, Richard Griffin of the Toronto Star asked members of the Toronto Blue Jays bullpen to recite Crash Davis' famous speech about what he believes in. Neil Wagner started it off, followed by Brett Cecil, Steve Delabar and Darren Oliver. Like he does perfectly nearly every Blue Jays game, Casey Janssen then finished it off. It's great to see the bullpen find moments during the Club's 11-game winning streak to relax and have fun recreating one of the most iconic moments of a classic baseball movie.
The bullpen, by the way, has been incredible this past month, maintaining a 0.84 ERA in June.

That past two breakfasts have been hearty…a fortifying rice meal, and a rich & sweet rice pudding. Although both able to give a proper amount of valor to face the trials and tribulations of gloomy work days during the rainy season, both are also liable to pile on the poundage if eaten unchecked, day after day. Here is something much lighter, but equally yummy, and as you will see, no less special.
Many people eat yogurt for breakfast…some can't live without it; some just eat it just for the sake of promised weight loss. I am living gloriously in the former category. I love yogurt. It can put me in a good mood like nobody's business. And since I've discovered a good, thick, natural yogurt sold in my grocery (read more about it here), I have been enjoying it in every way I can. Here's one of them.
Red Wine Poached Nectarines
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 strip orange rind
- 2-3 nectarine, each cut into 8 wedges
- Place wine, water, and sugar in a saucepan and heat until sugar is dissolved.
- Add the cinnamon stick and orange rind and let infuse for a couple of minutes.
- Add the nectarines and poach gently for 5-10 minutes, until just tender.
- Top a bowl of yogurt with some of the slices and a drizzle of the poaching liquid. Sprinkle some pistachios on top for added flavor and texture.
- Store the rest of the poached nectarines with the poaching liquid in a jar in the fridge. Use as topping for yogurt, ice cream, a filling for crepes, perhaps in a tart…lots of possibilities!
Fruit and yogurt is a common breakfast any way you paint it. But I think poaching the fruit in red wine lends it something special. Aside from an enchantingly robust flavor (punctuated quite nicely by the spiciness of the cinnamon and the citrusy note of the orange rind), it gives me a festive sense of celebration…which really, is a whole other aspect of breakfast that many forget: A celebration of a new day, with food still on our table, and energy still in our veins.
So let me toast this new day with you, and let each breakfast remind us that, wherever we are, if we are at a table eating breakfast, we still have something to celebrate. Cheers and happy weekend! :)

Former world champions Williams have targeted next months Spanish Grand Prix for a significant step forward with their car after failing to score a point in the first two races of the Formula One season.
Williams won at Barcelonas Circuit de Catalunya,the first race of the European season,last year with Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado. This years race is on May 12.
In a preview of Sundays Chinese Grand Prix,which is followed next week by the Bahrain Grand Prix,technical director Mike Coughlan said the team had been going through the data to try and understand where they needed to improve.
We feel we have a better understanding of where we are and the whole team has been working hard to improve our competitiveness going into the next few races, he said.
Ultimately we are looking at a significant upgrade for the Spanish Grand Prix.
Coughlan said the conditions in China,with cooler temperatures,should suit the Williams team better than in Australia and Malaysia although the circuit surface was quite hard on tyres.

The Turkish lira and the Indian rupee - already under heavy pressure due to their large current account deficits and an imminent rollback in U.S. money printing - were at the forefront of selling, with both hitting new record lows as oil prices surged to six-month highs above $117 a barrel.
The higher cost of oil will make it even more difficult for the two energy importers to contain their current account gaps.
"Syria is raising the level of uncertainty and those closest to Syria such as Turkey will be on the receiving end of the selling," said Ashok Shah, CIO of asset manager London & Capital. "It's another round of bad news."
"In (energy-importing) countries such as India, if you look at the oil price in rupees you can see how they are getting impacted - it's a double whammy for them."
The rupee tumbled 3.6 percent to 68.80 per dollar, its biggest one-day fall in 18 years, bringing 2013 losses to 20 percent. The lira fell 1.6 percent, while Turkish credit default swaps inched to new 14-month peaks.
The Syrian crisis has aggravated a selloff in emerging market assets that was triggered by expectations the U.S. Federal Reserve will start scaling back its massive stimulus program, as soon as next month.
U.S. stimulus had flooded developing economies with cheap cash and concerns those flows may now reverse are especially hitting the currencies of countries with large funding gaps - India, Turkey, Brazil, South Africa and Indonesia.
As the Middle East prepared for the impact of a strike on Syria, stock markets in the region plunged and the Israeli shekel extended losses, easing to a near three-month versus the dollar.
One of the best-performing emerging currencies this year, the shekel has shed almost half its 2013 gains on concerns that U.S.-led action in Syria may lead to wider conflict in the area.
Emerging currencies are so far shrugging off central banks' efforts to stem the rot and in Turkey investors have taken the central bank's refusal to aggressively raise rates as a green light to sell the lira.
"The lira is just going one way unless the (central bank) reveals its hand more clearly - it needs a bit ticket interventionist plan," Standard Bank analyst Tim Ash said.
Brazil's real has eased off five-year lows and rose 0.8 percent due to a $60 billion currency intervention plan and expectations of a half point rate rise later on Wednesday - the fourth in a row.
Investors are now waiting to see what Indonesia's central bank does at an extraordinary meeting it has called for Thursday. Markets reckon a rate rise is in the cards to lift the rupiah off four-year lows.
Bond yields have risen across the board.
Losses on emerging currencies come as investors stampede to exit emerging stocks and bonds, raising concerns of a vicious circle that will induce more investors to sell out.
Dubai's stock market dived 7.5 percent at one point, after a 7 percent slide on Tuesday, although it later recovered.
Early on Wednesday, stocks in the Philippines tumbled 6 percent, while Indonesian and Thai bourses fell 2.5-3 percent in tandem with a fierce currency selloff.
Foreign investors sold $1 billion of Indian shares in the eight sessions through Tuesday while dumping almost $3 billion in debt over 13 successive sessions. Indonesia has seen equity outflows of $1.3 billion in the past seven sessions.
"Some emerging markets were overbought and they needed a selloff to bring them to more reasonable levels," said Julian Mayo a portfolio manager at Charlemagne Capital. "But at the moment, sentiment seems to have taken over from fundamentals."
Latin American stocks fared slightly better however, with Mexico and Brazil up 0.2 percent.
Eastern European currencies, so far resilient to the emerging markets malaise, thanks to a recovering euro zone and relatively small funding needs, also saw selling due to dovish signals from policymakers.
The Polish zloty fell 1 percent to five-week lows after the finance minister called for more rate cuts. The Hungarian forint was flat following the previous session's 1 percent fall that was caused by a 20 bps rate cut.
"Such policy steps look increasingly inappropriate in a market where investors require higher risk premiums," analysts at BNP Paribas said.

Tonight's game just didn't feel right.
It was weird for me to see the Knicks do well without head coach Mike D'Antoni. Today was a weird day. D'Antoni's "resignation" seemed like a culmination of years of failure from the Knicks franchise. It was just another example of a coach (Larry Brown, Lenny Wilkens, Isiah Thomas) being run out of Madison Square Garden in a negative light. Many Knicks fans celebrated. I did not. Even if I was a D'Antoni hater, I would not have celebrated. There is nothing to celebrate. A good head coach lost his job today. Despite when you think about D'Antoni, you had to root for him as a Knick fan. His "resignation" symbolized how much of a true failure this season has been for the Knicks. This was a team with championship aspirations. This was a team that was projected by some, including myself, to win 42-46 games. The 2011 season has been a complete failure for the Knicks. They were the 9th seed in the East coming into tonight's game. I'm not putting a lid on this team's ceiling for this year. They may make a run, who knows. My point is that this season has been a complete disaster and the "resignation" of Mike D'Antoni just symbolizes continued dysfunction at Madison Square Garden.
Tonight's game means little in the big picture of these organization. Sure, they destroyed the equally dysfunctional Trail Blazers, who played the second game of a back to back, but it really doesn't mean much. Teams often play well after a drastic change or trade. Look at Golden State last night, they lost Ellis and blew out the Kings. I don't quite get why that happens but it happens. I want to see the Knicks play like this against Indiana on Friday.
I'm not going to go into more about my feelings on D'Antoni. I am currently writing a D'Antoni post that will be up tomorrow.
Here are my notes from the game:
- The Blazers are just as dysfunctional as the Knicks. They are about to trade Jamal Crawford and coach Nate McMillan has lost the locker room. Portland had no business being on an NBA court tonight. The Knicks should have handled the Blazers and they did. The Knicks were emotional after the loss of their coach. When emotions are high from one team and effort is low from the other, the outcome is pretty much inevitable. I take very little from this game. You shouldn't read too much into it either.
- Carmelo Anthony had 7 assists. This man was a huge part of the reason that Mike D'Antoni was fired. What was his biggest gripe with D'Antoni? That D'Antoni wanted him to play within the system. What did Melo do tonight without D'Antoni? He played unselfishly within the system. Unbelievable.
- The entire team was pretty unselfish tonight. It was nice to see the Knicks play a good style brand of team basketball. This is how D'Antoni wanted the Knicks to play. Sure, they ran a few more isolations, but the team was very unselfish which led to a whooping 35 assists. This is how the Knicks need to play every night offensively. It won't happen. I expect there to be a lot more isolations to Anthony and Stoudemire and I think the assists will go down. More isolations is not necessarily a bad thing, but my point is that you shouldn't expect to see this kind of unselfish performance every night. Unfortunately, the Knicks can't play each of their next 23 games against Portland.
- Lost in the 42 point victory was the mediocre performances of Jeremy Lin and Landry Fields. Both Lin and Fields were huge beneficiaries of the Mike D'Antoni offense. Mike Woodson will slow this offense down to a slower, isolation-orriented half court style. This is not good news for Landry Fields. Fields struggled in a similar style of offense, led by Chauncey Billups, during the second half of last season. Fields was 0/6 with 1 point in the game. This new offense projects for Jeremy Lin to have less success as well. Baron Davis, supported heavily by Woodson, is going to play more minutes coming off the bench. In addition to that, this slower style offense is going to take the ball out of Lin's hands more often. The Knicks will still be running a D'Antoni style but Woodson is going to make his tweaks. Woodson has even said that he wants to post up Stoudemire and Anthony more and get the ball in their hands. Lin's impact was felt when he was able to create and penetrate, dishing to teammates or scoring at the rim. I think with more iso's, Lin will have to spot up and shoot more often than under D'Antoni. He had only 6 points and 6 assists in 23 minutes of play. This is one game. I'm not saying that Woodson's new tweaks offensively will bury Lin, but I expect his numbers to decrease a bit. All that being said, this is just one game and I don't take much from it. Obviously, a 42 point win over the
GeneralsTrailblazers is not going to be the norm. I want to see Lin and Fields play real games, not evening scrimmages, in this adjusted offense before I make any conclusions. I just wanted to point out my concerns about these two players.
- Steve Novak shot 6/10 from beyond the arc tonight. He is now shooting 47.5% from three-point land this year.
- It was good to see Jeffries back. He looked pretty good in his 14 minutes of play tonight. I think a big part of the Knicks recent defensive woes were due to Jeffries' absence. I hope he can keep healthy for the rest of the season because the Knicks desperately need him to be out there.
- The Knicks sportsmanship was fine up until the last 13 seconds, when Shumpert tried to alley oop it to JR Smith. I thought it was classless on the Knicks part. It's not a huge deal. I get that Shumpert is a rookie and it was an emotional day for the Knicks. I get it. That being said, it is still not the right thing to do. Anytime you are up by 42 points, there is no excuse to be throwing an alley oop with 13 seconds left in the game. I don't think Shumpert and JR were trying to rub it in, I think they were just having some fun, but those guys have to know how to be better sports. I'm sure Woodson will point it out to them and it won't happen again.
- There are two big things I take from this game.
- Amar'e is looking pretty good. Over his past 5 games, Stoudemire is averaging 20 points on 57% shooting from the floor. Obviously his defense and rebounding leave much to be desired, but that has always been the case with Stoudemire. I have slightly changed my stance on Stoudemire. I've said all along that his biggest problem was his (un)athleticism. He had added too much weight, he couldn't get his legs under him and he had no explosiveness. Since the all-star break, I think Stoudemire has made significant progress to improve his explosiveness, and as a result his performance has improved. I still have doubts as to whether he will ever reach the level he was at last season. Odds are he doesn't. However, I think Stoudemire is going to make a strong comeback. He has been an average player at best this season, 16.78 PER (league average is 15.00). I believe that he will continue to improve his play and he'll get back to being a very good scorer. You'd have to think, playing alongside Tyson Chandler, that Stoudemire's defense will eventually begin to improve. That remains to be seen, but I truly believe his offense will continue to improve as the Knicks push towards the playoffs.
- JR Smith got some confidence. I've always believed that the number one thing that every athlete needs to succeed is confidence. I am an Oakland Raider fan. They won the Super Bowl in 1980. That was a team projected, before the season, to finish last in its division. Led by quarterback Jim Plunkett, the Raiders went on a magical, cinderella run that resulted in a Super Bowl XV victory over Ron Jaworski and the Philadelphia Eagles. America's Game on NFL Network is a great show. It chronicles all the Super Bowl champions through the eyes of some of the team's key contributors. One of the great quotes from Matt Millen, a linebacker on that team, was this. "…it's something that I pray about now for my Detroit Lions. Because we need confidence. And team (1980 Raiders) found it." Now why did I just write 5 sentences about the 1980 Oakland Raiders? To demonstrate what confidence can do for a player, or team in that instance. JR Smith can be one of the most electric and dynamic scorers in this league. His three-point shooting, 33.9%, has been horrid so far with the Knicks. Tonight, Smith found his stroke and hit 7/14 from beyond the arc. His body language was totally different. He looked like he was actually enjoying the game and he looked far more confident in his shot than he had previously. If Smith has found his confidence, he could be a huge boost for this Knicks team. The Blazers are horrid, but 7 threes is 7 threes. JR had an excellent shooting night and if he can keep it up, the Knicks will be much better off down the stretch.

I had gone through the plan at least thirty-eight times in my head. Any more than that, and it either would have started to bore me, or else I'd start over analyzing the whole thing and getting nervous like I do every time I try to talk to that girl at the Starbucks on Route 10. I think her name's Amy (I read it on her nametag. Is that creepy?). No. Thirty-three times. That was the optimal amount of times to run over a scenario before you've just got to get it done.
Thirty-three? Thirty-eight. Whatever. I wasn't actually keeping track. I mean, come on. Who does that? Who keeps track of how many times they actually think about something? That's why we always use big numbers, like a thousand. Easy, hyperbolic lie. People get the point. I don't even think I can count to thirty-seven. Thirty-eight? Whatever.
I've thought about Amy six hundred and ninety-two times since March.
This makes six hundred and ninety-three.
It was now or never. Casually stroll into Wawa, with the gun and the mask in my pocket. Scope out the scene, make sure no one else is in the store. Idle by the Hot Pockets freezer until the coast is clear. Duck behind the rack in the potato chip aisle, out of sight of the cashier. Slip on the mask. My beautiful, beautiful Panda mask. Pull out the gun, but don't arm it; you don't actually want to hurt anyone. Leap out from behind the potato chip rack, rush the cashier, shove the gun in his face, probably held horizontally like in those movies because that just looks a lot cooler, demand in your deepest, meanest panda growl that he give you all the money—because really, who's going to say no to a panda?—take the money after he gives it to you, run outside, start the car, pull the mask off, peel out of the parking lot, drive back to J & J, buy the biggest diamond ring you can afford with the cash, drive back down Route 10 all the way to the Starbucks in Denville, ask Amy to elope and run away (use of mask and gun only if necessary), live happily ever after, fin.
There were two things I failed to consider:
Well, okay three:
1. The bathroom. I forgot to check the bathroom, or even consider that there might be someone in bathroom. I didn't know people actually used those bathrooms, except in Clerks.
2. That the person in the bathroom would also have a gun, and that his, unlike mine, would be armed.
3. That said person in said bathroom would be a professional panda poacher and incredibly impulsive. I never realized there was a market for panda pelts either. Who would want to kill something so cute and cuddly?
But before he saw the gun, before he even knew what was happening, he saw the panda mask, and Blam! Headshot. Our professional panda poacher is now the hero of Randolph, New Jersey, I'm a lonely corpse in a panda mask, and Amy's making a caramel macchiato for someone else, completely unaware of the sacrifice I made for her in the name of love.
God I hate New Jersey.

Balfour says yelling not directed at Konerko
CHICAGO -- After walking Paul Konerko to load the bases in the ninth inning on Friday night, Rays closer Grant Balfour walked toward home plate and stated yelling. Konerko didn't know what Balfour was yelling about -- or why -- but he didn't like it, so he yelled back.
Balfour then returned the favor, as both players walked toward each other before cooler heads prevailed.View Full Game Coverage
CHICAGO -- After walking Paul Konerko to load the bases in the ninth inning on Friday night, Rays closer Grant Balfour walked toward home plate and stated yelling. Konerko didn't know what Balfour was yelling about -- or why -- but he didn't like it, so he yelled back.
Balfour then returned the favor, as both players walked toward each other before cooler heads prevailed.View Full Game Coverage
"I totally respect the guy," Balfour said. "He's a great player. Like I said [Friday] night, I respect him for what he's done in the game, and he's had a great career. It was definitely not towards him. If he watches when I pitch, I always walk in [toward the plate] when I pitch. It's just what I do. And I went in there to get another ball and I was just yelling.
"I was [mad] at myself. You saw how much I missed by on that pitch. That was a big pitch, and I needed outs. And I was frustrated at the fact I couldn't a pitch in the zone to get him out and I was walking guys. So I was just [mad] at myself and frustrated. I wasn't yelling at him or anyone else. I was really angry at myself with how I went about it. It was a really frustrating game."
Rays manager Joe Maddon didn't find fault with either player.
"I just think that's pretty much Grant being Grant," Maddon said. "We know that's how he is. We've known that for years. And I think that was Paulie trying to rally the troops a little bit. I saw nothing wrong wither way. I think it was no harm, no foul. Again, Grant's done that a lot. It's probably uncharacteristic for Paul, but he did what he thought he had to do, and I don't blame him."
If Konerko's goal was, in fact, to rally the troops, it worked. Two batters later, rookie Jose Abreu hit a walk-off grand slam -- his second homer of the night -- to lead Chicago to a 9-6 win.
Balfour, who walked three and allowed five runs on two hits in two-thirds of an inning, said he was trying too hard to locate pitches.
"I don't know if you deliberately do it," Balfour said. "You're just trying to more or less make the perfect pitch as opposed to just making a good pitch. Sometimes you try to be a little too fine."
Maddon has a theory as to why.
"I just think that he's not seeing 94 on the gun," Maddon said. "If the gun wasn't up there, he'd probably be throwing his fastball more with really good results. That's all it is. His fastball -- even at a little less velocity -- still has the same good movement to it, and it's a matter of trust right now. That's one moment where the gun actually hurts a pitcher because if you spend too much time paying attention to that, you're going to make mistakes."
Balfour almost got out of the inning with a save. He induced a bases-loaded ground ball from Adam Eaton that could have ended the game. The Rays got the force at second base, but Eaton beat shortstop Yunel Escobar's throw to first. Maddon challenged the play, which was confirmed.
At the time, Balfour wasn't sure if Eaton was safe or out.
"I didn't really see it," Balfour said. "I didn't really know. You're hoping he's out. It ends the game. To get a double-play ball right there would have been perfect, but it didn't work out. And I still had two more opportunities and I didn't get it done, so it's definitely on me. It's not on anyone else. I take full responsibility any time I go out there and take the ball."
Maddon said he had no reservations turning to Balfour on Saturday night, should a save opportunity arise.
"That's going to happen," Maddon said of Balfour's blown save. "It happens to all good relief pitchers, all good closers. It happens. It's just one of those bad nights. You got to just move it along and move to the next game. But absolutely, if he's good to go, he'll be back out there tonight."

There has been a series of arrests stemming from tweets, but Gervais insists posting moronic messages on a website should not be illegal.
He says, "I'm not concerned with what I say. I'm going to say what I think. It's a bit weird you can be prosecuted for saying what you think, but you have to take every case on its own merits.
"Offence is relative. Offence isn't about right or wrong, it's about feelings. So I think it's difficult to say someone is objectively wrong.
"I don't think being an idiot is against the law. That's what it comes down to. Some people believe in ghosts and God, which I find very strange, but I don't think they should be arrested."

Democrat Al Franken picked up several hundred votes at Thursday's state Canvassing Board meeting, all but erasing the narrow unofficial lead that Republican Sen. Norm Coleman has maintained for weeks. The DFLer seemed poised to move ahead today, at least temporarily, as the board rules on more challenged ballots.
Franken also appeared ready to beat back another challenge, as board members appeared skeptical about the Coleman team's proposal for preventing ballots from being counted twice. Talking about instances when a ballot couldn't be run through a voting machine, requiring a duplicate to be made, the Coleman campaign said the ballot should be counted only if an original could be matched with its copy.
The question of whether to count those ballots will be the first thing the board addresses this morning, Secretary of State Mark Ritchie said. The panel will work into the evening if necessary to finish up with remaining challenges, he said.
On the third day of its recount review, the five Canvassing Board members dealt with 642 ballot challenges made by the Coleman camp, helped by the last-minute withdrawal of some 400 by the campaign.
Franken's surge Thursday was no real surprise, given that the large majority of ballot challenges typically fail. On the previous two days, when the board examined challenges from the Franken campaign, most were rejected and Coleman made gains.
Thousands of challenges previously withdrawn by the campaigns have yet to be added back into their opponents' columns and will affect the margin in ways that can't yet be determined.
But Marc Elias, Franken's lead recount attorney, said that more of their side's challenges were being upheld than Coleman's, and he said: "When the recount is over and all the votes that were legally cast are counted, Al Franken will have won this election and will be declared the winner."
Elias claimed that signs pointing to an eventual Franken win had "panicked" the Coleman team into going to court to try to stop the counting of improperly rejected absentee ballots and asking the Canvassing Board not to count 150 ballots the senator's campaign claim were duplicated.
"There is a systematic effort by the Coleman campaign to prevent all the votes from being counted, for one reason and one reason only -- which is that they know that they are lying and that if all the votes are counted, they will lose this election," Elias said.
Responded Coleman attorney Fritz Knaak: "Mr. Elias has cast aspersions on our intentions from the beginning ... I understand his need to do that. That is not the case."
Questioning duplicates
Coleman attorney Tony Trimble said precinct reports show that in 150 cases -- about 100 of them in Minneapolis, DFL turf that Franken won handily -- original ballots were separated from duplicates, leaving both ballots in the mix and leading to a single vote being counted twice.
Canvassing Board members quizzed both campaigns on Coleman's request to count only those original ballots for which a duplicate can be found. The Franken campaign says there were no double votes and that all ballots should be counted.
Chief Justice Eric Magnuson, one of the board members, said he believed that meeting the Coleman request would require the board to examine voting machine tapes to determine which ballots may have been double counted, the kind of exercise that he said was beyond the board's administrative authority.
Trimble disagreed, saying that all the board would need to do is take note of those ballots marked as originals that were without a matching duplicate.
Justice G. Barry Anderson said he thought it "a dead solid certainty" that double votes were counted, but added he was uncertain that the board had the authority to do what Trimble asked. District Judge Edward Cleary took issue with Anderson, calling the certainty of double votes "a large leap."
The 'Lizard People'
The board clipped along at a rapid pace in its review of challenged ballots, aided by the withdrawal of challenges, but more time was needed for the study a handful of quizzical ballots, leading to some lighter moments.
One Bemidji voter blackened the oval for Franken, but also put an X through the oval and scribbled "Lizard People" on the write-in line.
" 'Lizard People' is not a genuine write-in" because there's no such person, Elias said.
"You don't know that there's not someone named 'Lizard People.' You don't," Magnuson said.
"You're right, you don't know," Trimble chimed in.
"Isn't 'People' plural? How can you have an individual named 'People?' " asked Ramsey County District Judge Edward Cleary, a board member.
After more back and forth, the board finally sided with Trimble and ruled it an overvote, not a vote for Franken.
Franken did better on a Sauk Rapids ballot that was marked for him but had "Flying Spaghetti Monster" and "FSM" written in other places. He also won a challenge on a Mankato ballot on which the voter had blackened his oval but extended his name to read "Al Frankenstin."
Trimble argued that the voter hadn't cast his vote for Franken, but for someone named Frankenstin. "The candidate is still identified as the candidate of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party," Elias countered. The board voted 3-2 to award the vote to Franken.
Coleman lawyers sought to downplay the surge of Franken votes. Once all withdrawn challenges are factored in, they said, the senator will be ahead.

I know of Modern-Aire Ventilating for many, many years. I know it as a bit of an under-the-radar resource for ventilation products, usually specified by professional kitchen designers. I know Modern-Aire to be highly reliable, super flexible as to what they are willing to do for their design professional clients in terms of customizations and they are also a manufacturer of high quality products. It pretty much says it all.
Modern-Aire has their own collection of, let's say, standard hood sizes and designs as well as a broad/standard palette of colors. That is only the beginning, however. Take one of their standard hoods and design it any which way, and/or make it Sky Blue Pink and the folks at Modern-Aire are all zen-like about it - it's your world.
Don't care for the standard hoods? Design your own. Reinvent the wheel. It's all good.
I always firmly believe that the culture of a company, good, bad, or indifferent, is reflected by philosophies and attitudes of those at the top. I have had the pleasure of getting to know a few of the people who run Modern-Aire and they're all zen-like too - in the best of ways....pleasant, happy, enthusiastic people, passionate about their products. Can you be zen and passionate simultaneously? Yes!
But, wait, that's not all!! Designers like flexibility. I had a plan for the Bornholm Kitchen display at the Sag Harbor showroom of Kitchen Designs by Ken Kelly to design an interior ventilating system that would be a) short in height b) powerful and c) able to have its duct directed straight back rather than vertical in order to allow for a completely open space above the short, horizontal, hood.
I brought my problem to Trevor Lawson at Eurostoves and he came back to me with the solution - problem solved. Sometimes a design will call for an understated, yet powerful, ventilation solution. There are precious few companies who will reinvent the wheel 7 days a week, but Modern-Aire does that.
Trevor has special programs and benefits for designers and other trade professionals who specify Modern-Aire. Service is one of those benefits. You can't rattle Trevor, he is a sea of calm, and he is a wealth of information. As a designer, I know Modern-Aire will do what they can to figure out how to give me what I'm looking for. So many companies default to "no.....because...." and that's why this is all so glowing - Modern-Aire does not do that unless physics tell them otherwise. So, then, what we have is design flexibility, high end quality and superb function. Simple.

A Hot Rod Disguised As A Show Car
Steve Young started building this hot rod when he was a kid-even before he was old enough to drive. At the same time he was gluing together 1:24-scale hot rods made out of plastic parts and airplane glue, he was building a fullsize traditionally dressed and flamed '32 Tudor with his imagination. Adulthood worked out well enough that Steve was able to indulge his interest in performance cars with a bunch of cool musclecars, Corvettes, and vintage race cars. Through it all, he continued to develop ideas for the hot rod he always wanted.
A few years ago, Steve grabbed the chance to purchase Tommy Otis' L.A. Highboy '32 roadster. The traditional black, flamed Deuce perfectly suited his taste, and the transaction led to a friendship that eventually resulted in the creation of the hot rod Steve had built over and over in his mind.
"Tommy and I sat down for lunch and started talking about building the car," Steve recalled. "I knew his eye, and his sense of period correctness. His idea of a period-correct hot rod and my own are very close. He was the perfect guy to be the project manager for this car." After illustrator Steve Stanford turned their ideas into a concept drawing, there was nothing left to do except find a '32 Tudor. Decades of planning were about to turn into a real live project.
They found the perfect raw material through the Hemmings website-an unchopped, full-fendered, original steel car begging to be rescued from an early '80s pink and turquoise paintjob. The Hemi and Muncie four-speed matched Steve's powerplant checklist. The only hitch was the car's Upstate New York location. Fortunately, Tommy's East Coast friend, Art Regan, was able to scout out the car.
The car went directly to Art's shop, Carland Auto Body in Danbury, Connecticut, where Art chopped the top 3 inches in front and 21/2 in the rear.
As soon as the sedan arrived in Los Angeles, it was turned over to Tri-C Engineering in Valencia, California, the project's new headquarters. Rick Cresse at Tri-C had worked with Tommy on the L.A. Highboy, which was credentials enough for Steve. Kiwi Connection provided the chassis for the sedan, and Ollie's Machine Works rebuilt the Hemi that came with the car.
Steve's vision called for making the sedan a genuine hot rod built to show-car standards. He also wanted the car to reflect the looks of an early '60s street/strip car, "a tip of my cap to the art, skill, and craftsmanship that existed back then," as he put it. That's why he used throttle rods and bellcranks instead of cables on the Strombergs, an original Joe Hunt Scintilla vertex magneto, King Bee headlights, Deist belts, and other equipment that would be perfectly right for the era. Even Albert Lara's upholstery work, Steve said, reminds him of the early interiors done by Eddie Martinez, one of L.A.'s best stitchers. The only exceptions were made for the sake of safety and reliability, such as the heavy-duty Speedway Engineering quick-change, 20-gallon fuel cell, and So-Cal Buick-drum front disc brakes.
Tommy laid the traditionally designed flames and finished with some period-style pinstriping. We know Tommy's 'striping hero is Tommy the Greek, but on this job, Steve said he followed Ed Roth's style of broader lines, including a tribute to Roth's work on the McMullen roadster. Tommy's brushwork ended up everywhere. We spotted it on the framehorns, rear axle, firewall, front brake backing plates, and in invisible places like the front spring ends and the front crossmember. Even the framerails-painted black with red along the boxing plates-were 'striped along the inside edges, where no one will ever see.
Since its successful debut at the '08 Grand National Roadster Show, the L.A. Sedan has been making the rounds at local events, with a brief stopover in the Petersen Automotive Museum. For all the car-show success he's had with the sedan, Steve hasn't lost his original vision. He didn't build the hot rod he always wanted only to stick it on a shelf with his childhood model kits. He promised that when he's done showing it off, he has some driving to do.
Rod & Custom Feature Car
Steven Young
Los Angeles, California
1932 Ford Sedan
The frame for the L.A. Sedan came from Squeak Bell at Kiwi Connection in Bakersfield; the Deuce 'rails are bobbed in the rear and reinforced with a front and rear crossmember and an X-member in the center. In the front, a Chassis Engineering I-beam axle, dropped 5 inches, has been drilled with lightening holes and mounted to Total Cost Involved spindles. The suspension includes Pete & Jake's shocks, Durant monoleaf springs, drilled hairpins, and a Panhard bar. Steering is handled with a Sprint Car steering assembly from Gary Schroeder Enterprises. A So-Cal Buick drum-style disc brake system takes care of braking in front; the rearend is a heavy-duty Speedway Engineering quick-change with 3.25:1 limited-slip gears, with more Pete & Jake's components, including ladder bars, shocks, and Model A leaves. Brakes are Buick-style drums from John's Industrial.
Steve and his crew went all out on the Hemi, inside and out. The '58 392 was sent to Ollie Hellert at Ollie's Machine Works in Van Nuys, California, where the cylinders were bored 0.040 over and the assembly was balanced and blueprinted, and rebuilt using Egge 9.3:1 pistons and a P.A.W. cam. Frog's-mouth scoops cap a six-pack of chromed Stromberg 97s plumbed by Chad Blundell at Blundell Speed & Machine in Orange, California, sitting atop an Edelbrock ram log intake. The valve covers are from Moon, with Offenhauser breathers. Tri-C built the accessory brackets. The custom headers run exhaust through Flowmaster Hushpower mufflers-or bypass them altogether via an owner-designed manifold (highlighted in the June '08 issue). The ignition is an original Joe Hunt Scintilla vertex magneto, and the radiator is the original brass unit from Boyce Asquith's famous '32 roadster from the late '80s. The Stick City staff in Sun Valley, California, did their stuff on the '62 Muncie M21 four-speed, reassembled using a McLeod clutch, flywheels, and discs, and operated by a custom shifter.
Wheels & Tires
There was too much dazzle coming off the engine compartment to go with painted wheels. Instead, Steve opted for a set of Radir Tri-Rib rims-15x4s in front and 15x8s in the rear. The meats had to be wide whites to add to the overall brightness and to balance the bright-white top. These pie-crust Firestones have 21/2-inch whitewalls. Fronts are 5.6x15s, and the cheater slicks measure 8.20×15.
Body & Paint
Art Regan at Carland Auto Body in Danbury, Connecticut, chopped the original steel Tudor body before it made the trip to the West Coast. Once in Los Angeles, more body mods were made, including the polished and louvered bellypans and custom rear pans, and a recessed license plate niche between recessed Pontiac taillights and above the old-time pushbar. A custom steering arm blister was created for the driver side of the cowl, and an early Ford monocle mirror was added to the driver-side door. The firewall is chromed steel-the way they used to do it. Tommy Otis, along with Oscar, Manny, and Tito Cardono, finished it up with traditionally styled flames and 'stripes over jet-black. Fidel Paniagua at Theatrical Auto Body stepped in for some post-paint massaging.
The interior responsibilities were turned over to Albert Lara in North Hollywood, California, who covered the early Ford Mustang buckets in red wine-colored Naugahyde. On the floor, it's charcoal-colored Mercedes carpet, chosen to highlight the dark-red upholstery, not compete with it. The door panels were finished in a 1-inch tuck 'n' roll pattern to go along with the whole traditional character of the car. Likewise, Stewart Warner Classic gauges were added to the original dash, set off with a custom engine-turned insert embellished with more 'striping. Tri-C Engineering built the custom steering column, topped off with a dished steering wheel from Grant Products. The brake and clutch pedal arms have been drilled. Michael Grella of California Muscle Cars connected all the wires using a Painless Wiring kit.

NY TIMES reports that Wendy's, in conjunction with Visible World Corp., has created interactive commercials for use with this Sunday's NFL telecasts.
The Wendy's commercials, to be broadcast nationally on Fox Sports this weekend, are one of the earliest national examples of an emerging TV technology that allows advertisers to vary their message at the last minute. The Wendy's ads will reflect events in the football games, creating what ad executives call a reverse product placement of sorts. Instead of putting Frostys or Wendy's fries into a TV program, the company will incorporate a show's content in its commercials.
So you want to know what the commercials are going to be like?
SPORTS commentators will not be the only ones remarking on Sunday's National Football League games. Animated raccoons will also give instant feedback in advertisements for Wendy's International that will be shown at the start of commercial breaks.
If the score is 0-0, an ad might start with a Wendy's raccoon standing in front of an overturned trash can, saying, "I may be nocturnal, but this game is putting me to sleep."
If there is a touchdown just before a commercial break, another raccoon might say: "Touchdown. These fans are as rabid as we are."
The report also states that fans could see up to 17! different versions during a broadcast.
You know what? I was sort of pissed about this, but the more I think about it……I'd probably rather have Raccoons telling me the score than Joe Buck.
