European roaming charges to be scrappedPosted: April 4, 2014 Filed under: Passenger Advice | Tags: Abroad, EC, EU, European Commission, European Parliament, European Union, Mobile Phone, Roaming Fees, Scrap, Travelling, UK Holidaymakers, Vote Leave a comment
The European Parliament has voted to get rid of roaming fees for mobile phones when travelling abroad.
It means that from December 2015 UK holidaymakers will be able to make calls and download internet data in another EU country for the same cost that applies at home.
The change is expected to come into force on 15 December 2015 after approval from EU governments.
Roaming charges were reduced last year after the EU put rules into place that forced operators to cap their fees.
According to the BBC, a European Commission survey in February found 94% of Europeans use their phones less to avoid high charges, with stories regularly in the news about huge bills they have to cough up when returning from a holiday.

Europe Plans New Limits on Aid to Money-Losing Regional AirportsPosted: February 23, 2014 Filed under: European Aviation News, UK Aviation News, Welsh Aviation News | Tags: Aid, Airports, Announce, EC, European Commission, Financial, Money-Losing, New Limits Leave a comment
By Nicola Clark,
The European Commission announced new limits Thursday on the amount of financial aid that member states can provide to money-losing regional airports, a move that could eventually lead to higher fares for passengers traveling to some out-of-the way terminals served by low-cost carriers.
Under the new rules, which are expected to take effect next month, airports serving more than 5 million passengers a year will be barred from receiving any state support unless there is evidence of a "clear market failure." And aid for most smaller airports, with fewer than 3 million passengers, will have to be phased out by 2024.
In a statement, Joaquín Almunia, the Union's competition commissioner, called the new restrictions "a key ingredient for a successful and competitive European aviation sector," which he said would "ensure the mobility of our citizens while preserving a level playing field between airports and airlines."
The overhaul follows more than a decade of breakneck expansion in European air traffic, led by budget airlines like Ryanair and EasyJet. Small airports have grown especially rapidly. Between 2004 and 2012, airports serving fewer than 5 million passengers have seen traffic jump by 79 percent; traffic at those serving more than 5 million has risen by just 29 percent over the period, according to Transport and Environment, a lobbying group based in Brussels.
The Commission, the executive arm of the 28-member Union, said on Thursday that it was still reviewing more than two dozen cases of past subsidies granted to airports and to airlines, including the Dublin-based low-cost carrier Ryanair. The Commission said it would judge those cases — which involve regional airports in Germany, France, Austria, Italy, Sweden, Romania and Spain — based on their compliance with the new aid guidelines.
Legacy carriers like Air France-KLM and Lufthansa have long complained that public support for small airports puts them at a competitive disadvantage and serves as an indirect subsidy to low-cost rivals..
The availability of subsidies has also led to a decade-long boom in new, taxpayer-funded airport construction that has often pitted municipalities against one another in hopes of luring air travelers and new jobs.
But many of those airports have yet to turn a profit and are dependent on taxpayer support, which violates European competition rules. Some also are significantly underutilized by airlines, draining public coffers for their upkeep and failing to deliver much economic benefit.
Under the new rules, member states will continue to be allowed to cover the operating losses of small airports and to finance 25 percent to 75 percent of investments in new infrastructure for a maximum 10 years, beginning in 2014. Airports will need to present a business plan to qualify for aid and will be expected to increase the fees they charge to airlines, potentially leading to higher ticket prices.
The Commission set looser restrictions for Europe's smallest airports, however, allowing those that serve fewer than 700,000 passengers per year to receive subsidies of up to 80 percent of operating losses. Member states will be required to review such support after five years, but they will not be required to phase it out entirely.
Airport groups applauded what they saw as a measured approach by the Commission that recognized the role that air connectivity plays in economic development. But they also expressed concern that the restrictions could hamper future investment in airport infrastructure as demand for air travel rises across the region.
"In order for Europe to stay globally relevant, we should be able to address airport investment as flexibly as our peers in other world regions," ACI Europe, a trade group representing 450 of the region's airports, said in a statement.
Environmental groups expressed frustration that the Commission did not take a tougher stance against the air transport sector. They said the industry already receives generous breaks on fuel and value-added taxes while being responsible for about 5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
The new guidelines "open the floodgates to increased operating aid for airports," for at least the next decade, Bill Hemmings of the Transport and Environment lobbying group said in a statement. "Why must everybody pay so that the better off can fly more often and for cheaper?"

MEPs vote to strengthen air passenger rightsPosted: February 6, 2014 Filed under: European Aviation News, Passenger Advice, UK Aviation News, Welsh Aviation News | Tags: Air Passenger, EC, European Commission, European Parliament, MEPs, Passenger Advice, Rights, Strenghten, Vote Leave a comment
By Tom Newcombe
The European Parliament has backed proposals from the European Commission to strengthen air passenger rights.
MEPs passed the bill to give travellers better rights to information, care and re-routing, when they are stranded at an airport.
The bill, which would apply across the 28 countries in the European Union, would also require airlines to have staff to inform passengers about their rights, as well as laying out procedures for complaints and reimbursements.
The changes are largely in response to problems exposed during the ash cloud crisis in 2010.
Under current rules, airlines do not have to pay compensation for flight delays or cancellations caused by "extraordinary circumstances".
The proposal from the European Commission would cap the compensation amount to the original cost of the ticket.
The Commission claims that currently only 2% of airline passengers entitled to compensation actually receive it.
"Air passenger rights concern practically every citizen of the European Union," said Georges Bach, the lawmaker responsible for steering the legislation through parliament.
"It's a David versus Goliath story and I believe the text we have voted today strikes a reasonable balance between the airlines and the passenger rights.
"We improved consumer protection on the one hand while recognising the flexibility that this industry requires on the other."
Among the measures proposed by the European Commission are:
- Misspelling: Passengers to have the right to correct a spelling mistake in a name "free of charge".
- Complaint handling: Passengers to be given the right to a response to their complaint within two months and an acknowledgement of a complaint within a week (there is currently no time limit).
- Right to care: Parliament supports the Commission's proposal to introduce a right to care for passengers after a delay of two hours, for all flights irrespective of distance.
- Connecting flights: Parliament backs the Commissions' proposal to clarify that rights to assistance and compensation apply, if you miss your connecting flight because the previous flight was late.
- Luggage: A proposal to give national authorities enforcement powers over lost luggage rules.
European Commission's vice president Siim Kallas said it's important air passenger rights don't just exist on paper.
"We all need to be able to rely on them when it matters most – when things go wrong," said Kallas.
"We know that the real priority for stranded passengers is just to get home. So our focus is on information, care and effective rerouting.
"The aim is to get passengers where they want to be as quickly as possible while giving the airlines the time they need to sort problems out."
The Council of Transport Ministers and the European Parliament will negotiate a final agreement on the air passenger rights legislation in May 2014.

AEA urges Europe to compromise on Emissions Trading SchemePosted: January 22, 2014 Filed under: European Aviation News, UK Aviation News, Welsh Aviation News, World Aviation News | Tags: AEA, Association of European Airlines, EC, Emissions Trading Scheeme, ETS, European Commission, European Parliament, ICAO, Reasonable Compromise, The Transport and Tourism Committee, TRAN, Voted Leave a comment
The Transport and Tourism Committee of the European Parliament (TRAN) today voted in favour of a reasonable compromise on the aviation Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS).
The Association of European Airlines (AEA) has wasted little time in praising the decision and is now urging the European Parliament to listen to their transport colleagues.
In autumn last year, ICAO agreed on a roadmap to develop a global market-based measure to reduce carbon emissions from international aviation, for adoption at the next ICAO Assembly in 2016.
This agreement had been facilitated by the EU's decision to exclude international flights from ETS in 2012 ('Stop the clock').
Following the agreement in ICAO, the European Commission presented a proposal that reduces the original scope of the ETS to cover all flights within European airspace, despite the fact that such a concept was rejected at the ICAO assembly last year.
Currently, the three Committees in the European Parliament are discussing the Commission's proposal.
According to AEA, the decision taken by the transport specialists demonstrates their understanding of the fact that European airlines could be exposed to retaliatory measures from third countries in their day-to-day operations and business development.
At the same time, AEA claims that TRAN members showed their support for the approach taken at ICAO level.
"The aviation ETS must not hamper the progress at ICAO towards a global agreement on reducing emissions from international aviation", says AEA CEO, Athar Husain Khan.
AEA welcomes that TRAN restricts the scope of aviation ETS to flights within the European Economic Area.
This move, it claims, would reduce the risk of international controversy and confirms that global issues such as emissions from international aviation need a global solution.
However, uncertainty remains about the situation in the years 2017 up to 2020.

UK open for business despite threat of European strikesPosted: January 22, 2014 Filed under: Passenger Advice, UK Aviation News, Welsh Aviation News | Tags: 29 JAN 14, 29th Jan, Air Traffic Control, Air Traffic Controllers European Unions Coordination, ATC, ATCEUC, Europe, European Commission, NATS, News, Passenger Adivce, Strike, Uk aviation, Wednesday 29th January 2014, Welsh Aviation Leave a comment
Press Release by Nats
NATS air traffic controllers will be working as normal on 29 and 30 January, despite industrial action being planned for across Europe.
Controllers and support staff at the two NATS centres at Swanwick, Hampshire and Prestwick, Ayrshire, as well as at NATS-operated control towers across the UK, will be providing a full service to airlines and passengers.
NATS Chief Executive, Richard Deakin, said: "NATS controllers will be working as usual in spite of the threat of industrial action in Europe. If the strikes go ahead we will work closely, as ever, with Eurocontrol and other European air navigation services to help keep people moving whenever possible."
"We will also work with our airline and airport customers to help them manage their operations should any changes be necessary.
"Any passengers who are worried they might be affected should check with their airlines for the latest information."
The industrial action is being staged by two organisations in protest against the European Commission's Single European Sky initiative, which aims to consolidate air traffic services across the continent.
The Air Traffic Controllers European Unions Coordination (ATCEUC) – an umbrella group that represents 14,000 members across 28 countries – is calling a strike for 29 January, before members of the European Transport Workers' Federation (ETF) then walk out on 30 January.
ATCEUC previously called for a 'Day of Action' in October last year before cancelling it following assurances of further negotiation.
The European Commission says the Single European Sky programme will triple the region's airspace capacity, cut costs and reduce delays.

European air traffic controllers are set to go on strike next week over planned safety and savings targets set by the European Commission.
The Air Traffic Controllers European Unions Coordination (ATCEUC) represents around 14,000 flight overseers across 28 European countries.
The strike is due to take place on January 29 and could lead to considerable flight disruption.
"We plan an hour-long strike in support of the action," Matthias Maas, the head of Germany's GDF union told Reuters.

AAC warns of Atol protection 'nightmare'Posted: December 18, 2013 Filed under: European Aviation News, Passenger Advice, Tour Operator News | Tags: ACC, Association of Atol Companies, Atol Protection, Atol; Cover, Concerns, EC, European Commission, Nightmare, Passenger Advice, Warns Leave a comment
The Association of Atol Companies has warned of its concerns over moves that could see firms opt under which European jurisdiction they offer financial protection.
The concerns come after a survey of its members found 80% were opposed to the change that could come in under reform of Europe's rules on package travel.
Under a European Commission proposal the rules that govern the selling of packages will be standardised across Europe to allow greater freedom of trade.
This raises the prospect of firms based overseas trading in the UK under the rules in place in their country of origin.
The Low Cost Holiday Group has already taken advantage of this having moved its operations to Majorca in November so that it now operates under Spanish package rules.
This prompted the CAA to express serious concerns over the move and to later clarify that anyone bookings taken after November 1 would not enjoy Atol cover.
Today the AAC described the prospect that tour operators and suppliers could choose the venue of financial protection under a new Package Travel Directive as a "total nightmare".
It said this could see consumers faced with a myriad of unfamiliar schemes from the 28 existing members of the EU.
Lindsay Ingram, Chairman of the AAC, said: "We have worked hard to ensure better consumer protection.
"Our members issue Atol Certificates in all appropriate cases, a simple and clear explanation of what is, and is not, protected.
"The UK Atol system provides protection in cases where EU law is far from clear and consumers may find themselves unprotected when buying similar products from non Atol holding businesses, either based here or abroad."
Alan Bowen, legal adviser to the AAC, added: "Major changes to the Atol scheme in 2012 extended financial protection to customers who chose to buy flights and accommodation or car hire as separate items.
"No other country extends protection beyond traditional package holidays as defined more than 20 years ago and UK consumers need to be aware that without an Atol protected purchase, customers may be on their own.
"The sheer issue of dealing with language problems if protection is based overseas may be insurmountable and cause greater stress in the event of a business failure.
"We strongly urge customers to check the protection that may exist before booking. Finding out afterwards that your purchase is not Atol protected is too late."

KNOXVILLE, Tenn (WVLT) -- It's now up to the Knox County District Attorney General's office to determine what if any charges should be filed in connection with two suspicious fires at the University of Tennessee's Humes Hall in late January.
UT spokesperson Elizabeth Davis confirms UT Police investigators and Knoxville Fire investigators have turned over the evidence and investigation to the District Attorney General's office.
Knoxville firefighters were called to Humes Hall on January 28th for a report of a chair on fire in a study room. The fire was quickly extinguished, but four people were treated for minor injuries at a local hospital, and released.
One day later, a bulletin board on the third floor went up in flames. It was quickly extinguished by a staff member in the dorm.
After the second fire, the dorm was placed on fire watch by the Tennessee State Fire Marshal's office.
As a result, four UT police officers were stationed at the hall, on duty around the clock. Officers remain there today.
Davis would neither confirm nor deny that any staff members were relieved of their duties at Humes Hall in the days after the fire.
There were also reports of multiple fire alarm pulls in the days before the fires at Humes Hall.
KFD spokesperson Brent Seymour says there have been no reports of problems at Humes Hall since the fire watch began.
Humes Hall houses more than 500 women on the UT campus.

Normally I do a trip report on another IV board and then copy it over here. But most of our members over there haven't been able to access IV since the upgrade, so I never did one. I guess I could, but I have been waiting to read more about other trips and didn't think of it. Like Atlantis. . . :) And Yuliya's DCL cruise.

At Michigan is not an easy matchup. The coaching staff needs to get this team prepared for the Wolverines' spread.
*Upcoming game: Oct. 24 at Michigan
LSU - 2009 LSU College Football Season Preview
Unlike the rest of the nation, I expected LSU to lose to Florida. Wait - we all expected them to lose. So when LSU loses by only 10 points to the No. 1 team in the country, shouldn't they not drop very far (if at all) in the rankings? LSU doesn't drop in my rankings because they played how I expected them to play.
*Upcoming game: Oct 24 vs. Auburn
Big win for Cincinnati over South Florida on the road. This was an impressive victory and I moved them up.
*Upcoming game: Oct. 24 vs. Louisville
Miami has been consistent this year in non-cold weather. Wake Forest is an upset alert because the temperatures and wind could affect Jacory Harris' ability to throw the ball downfield.
*Upcoming game: Oct. 24 vs. Clemson
Texas Christian, led by inside linebacker Daryl Washington, continues to impress. Washington is coming to a second round near you!
*Upcoming game: Oct. 24 at Brigham Young
Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech was my preseason pick to win the ACC. They had a huge win over Virginia Tech and they move up.
*Upcoming game: Oct. 24 at Virginia
Oregon found a player in LaMichael James and travel up to Washington to face Jake Locker's Huskies.
*Upcoming game: Oct. 24 at Washington
Virginia Tech - 2009 Virginia Tech College Football Season Preview
Virginia Tech lost by five on the road at a good Georgia Tech team. I don't hold this against them.
*Upcoming game: Oct. 29 vs. North Carolina
Oklahoma State
Nice win for Oklahoma State over Missouri. Zac Robinson is playing solid ball without Dez Bryant.
*Upcoming game: Oct. 17 vs. Texas Tech
Notre Dame - 2009 Notre Dame College Football Season Preview
When you lose to an extremely good football team at home by seven, I don't think that is a huge knock. The bottom line is Notre Dame lost one game because the receiver didn't finish his route (Michigan) and another game to a potential national champion (USC). You aren't selling me that teams like BYU, Houston, Ohio State and Pittsburgh are better than Notre Dame.

ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon
vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon
4 cups
walnut halves
These are quite tasty. I made them as directed except I made half the recipe for a first try because I wasn't sure how they would turn out. I have never made roasted walnuts before, but these came out more tender than crunchy. Not that it is a bad thing, it is just not what I had expected. They are good by themselves, I can't wait to put them in a salad or on top of vanilla ice cream... yum!

Watari watches this moment and comments on getting used to this one. Aizawa takes off his pants and finally enters the building.It turns out that he, Matsuda, and Soichiro, are in surveillance of Light, L, and Misa in one room. She's annoyed by L's presence that she tries to make suggestions of keeping him out of sight like closing the curtains and turn off the lights. L foiled that suggestion by the use of infrared lights.

Archive for the 'Oldsmobile 4-4-2' tag
Oldsmobile 4-4-2 Sports Coupe sells for $100,000 at Mecum St. Charles
Photos courtesy Mecum Auctions.
While Oldsmobile 4-4-2 convertibles regularly surpass the six-figure mark at auction, it takes a little something extra for a closed 4-4-2 to earn that kind of money, particularly a sport coupe. For the 1970 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 W-30 Sport Coupe that sold for $100,000 at last weekend's Mecum auction in St. Charles, Illinois, that little something extra came in the form of complete documentation and a stunning restoration.
According to Mecum, Findlay Oldsmobile of Las Vegas originally sold the 4-4-2, one of 142 Sport Coupes to feature a four-speed manual transmission that year and one of 1,688 total 1970 4-4-2 Sport Coupes. Fitted with the W-30′s 370hp 455, the 4-4-2 also came with bucket seats, Hurst shifter, 3.42 Anti-Spin rear axle, and W-27 aluminum differential cover. Collector Mike Guarise eventually obtained the 4-4-2, still with its original drivetrain, original sheetmetal, original red inner fenders, and the factory build card, then handed it off to Muscle Car Designs of Joliet, Illinois, for a full body-off restoration, which wrapped up in 2009. Since then, Guarise won a couple of awards with the 4-4-2, but otherwise left it alone alongside two other red GM supercars in his collection, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS454 LS6 (which sold for $80,000) and a 455-powered 1970 Pontiac GTO (which sold for $65,000).
Aside from the 4-4-2 and the Chevelle, the top 10 sales from Mecum's St. Charles auction include a 2000 Country Coach Prevost Motorhome, which sold for $160,000; a 1937 Chevrolet Street Rod, which sold for $125,000; a 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera Turbo S, which sold for $111,000; a 1957 Chevrolet Corvette Fuelie, which sold for $100,000; a 1960 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, which sold for $99,000; a 2002 Ferrari 360 Spider F1, which sold for $95,000; a 2005 Lamborgihni Gallardo Coupe, which sold for $90,000; and a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window Coupe, which sold for $81,500.
On the other end of the scale, a number of cars sold for less than $5,000 at the St. Charles auction, including a 1969 Chevrolet Caprice that sold for $2,250, a 1966 Dodge D100 Pickup that sold for $2,500, a 1985 Ford Mustang GT Convertible that sold for $2,500, a 1994 Pontiac Firebird that sold for $3,000, a 1966 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser that sold for $3,000, a 1969 Chevrolet Caprice that sold for $3,000, a 1972 Jaguar XJ6 that sold for $3,500, a 1984 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe that sold for $3,500, a 1984 London taxi that sold for $3,500, and a 1979 Lincoln Continental that sold for $3,500.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1968 Oldsmobile 4-4-2
Let the debate begin: Which is cooler on a muscle car, poverty caps on body-colored steel wheels, or the styled mag-type wheels often offered in the day as options? We ask because this 1968 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 for sale on Hemmings.com, while it has the steelies mounted, can come with a set of Rocket styled steel wheels as well. From the seller's description:
400-4 matching numbers, automatic transmission, 342 posi rear, power steering, power brakes, factory air conditioning, no vinyl top option, bucket seats, column shift, after market radio, tach in the clock position, complete cosmetic restoration on a rust free California car, done to a high standard in the original Saffron Yellow, original black interior, red line radials, and small correct Olds poverty caps. Runs and drives strong and tight. I have the build sheet. This is a true Olds 442 done in correct colors.
The trim, moldings, and bright work are excellent. Interior is original to the Olds.
I have a set of 15″ Rocket wheels w/tires if you prefer that option.

Thrice Done: Olds owner endures with his 4-4-2 on Hemmings TV
Unlike new cars, collector cars are made all the more compelling by the stories they accumulate over the years, and we car guys are often attracted to the stories just as much as we're attracted to the cars themselves. George's 1970 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 has been through quite a bit, including a few different rebuilds and restorations, and for our latest episode of Hemmings TV, George shared those stories with videographer Don Ashley.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1970 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 W-30
Some guys get all the luck. It's one thing to find a 4-4-2 that's been sitting for nearly 30 years and thus hasn't been messed with. It's another thing altogether to find an unmolested 4-4-2 that comes with all the NOS parts necessary to restore the car, as was the case with this 1970 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 W-30 for sale on Hemmings.com, fresh off that restoration. From the seller's description:
Real and documented factory built 1970 442-W-30, this is one of 1,032 4-speed w-30s made in 1970. The car is the factory color: Matador red with black stripes and black interior. I have 2 factory broadcast cards that document the authenticity of this car, both are very legible, the VIN, body number and W-30 print can be read easily. The car is an original 31,632-mile car (documented on the PA title as (actual miles) that sat locally in PA since 1982 in an enclosed garage. The prior owner had hopes of fully restoring the car and, in 1982 and 1983, bought hundreds of NOS items from the local Olds dealerships for this car, including but not limited to quarter, door, fenders, deck lid, moldings, emblems, bezels, etc, etc. When all of those items came with it and were used on this concours, frame-off rotisserie restoration. Included with the car are all of the receipts for the original NOS parts. This has to be one of the most heavily restored cars using NOS parts in the country. Restoration was professionally done by a shop that specializes in all phases of high end classic, muscle car and custom hot rod builds which are second to none. The car has been for sale 2 times in the past 42 years.
The car retains its original engine, with factory W-455 aluminum intake, original notched valve covers, 7040256 carb which was rebuilt and replated to factory specs, original large valve F casting heads, original 1111977 distributor, etc. The car contains its original 1970 Ram Air air cleaner that is functional as well. The engine was professionally built by Bill Travato at BTR Performance in Rochester, New York, who specializes in building these rocket engines. No expense was spared from this complete professional build. The engine is stock and not modified other than being bored 30 over. The transmission is the original M-21 4-speed transmission, which was sent out and professionally rebuilt. The original 12-bolt O-axle 3:91 ratio posi has been fully rebuilt with new clutches, seals, bearings, brakes, and the original brake drums have been restored as well.
The interior has been restored and has the factory black buckets and console with new carpet, seat covers, foam, headliner, etc. The original dash, original 4-spd console, and the U 21 Rally Pac with 31K miles on the speedometer have all survived and are excellent condition. The paint is absolutely perfect and gaps on this car are better than they were from the factory. The hood was in mint condition and is the original steel lined hood with the original screen. The factory stripes were duplicated and measured, as this car had most of its original paint. The stripes are exact to what the factory had originally painted on them. They are not a stencil kit. To duplicate this paint job, you would be in the $15,000-$20,000 range. The 14×7 XT wheels and poverty or dog dish hubcaps are matched to 5 new Firestone wide oval bias-ply tires, just like the originals. Trunk is finished with the correct mat, bumper jack, tire iron, jacking instructions and optional trunk light.
The frame has been sandblasted, primed with epoxy primer and sprayed with Eastwood's 2K ceramic chassis black (satin). These cars had primarily three different black paints from the factory, according to many of the factory specs from the Olds plant in Lansing, MI, so those colors and sheens were duplicated, as well. New pre-formed brake and fuel lines to the correct size and locations were used. New gas tank, sending unit, straps were installed. Ball joints with factory style rivets were used like the factory had done. Wear bar grooves were duplicated into the front disc brakes, natural color sheen used on center link, tie rods, etc. Factory style spiral shocks and new springs on all four corners. Gold zinc disc brake caliper brackets, with silver zinc dust shields were used as well to duplicate the period-correct look from the factory. There are 19 miles on this car since the fresh restoration.

Upcoming: Through the years with three long-term muscle cars
With most of the cars from the original muscle era now having at least 40 years' worth of experiences behind them, the stories we hear from owners are vast and varied, and often quite entertaining. Naturally, the best tales come from those who have held onto the same cars for decades, and it's all the better when these owners have photographic evidence to support their account of past exploits.
For the next issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines, we've gathered three cars and the owners who have held onto them over the past 40 years or so, laying out their personal histories in timeline form to depict the changes each endured as the years rolled by and various trends in automotive and personal style came and went. All of our subjects have not only survived, but each currently displays the effects of contemporary restorations that have them looking better than they likely did when their owners first took title – in fact, they might all look better now than on the day they rolled off their respective assembly lines.
Our "Memory Makers" feature cars include a 1969 Pontiac GTO convertible that morphed from a sedate boat hauler to a thoroughly correct-appearing Judge tribute, showing a number of variations in between as many miles piled up along the way, wearing out several sets of seat covers, convertible tops, and four or five paint jobs. Another family still maintains the 1968 Olds 4-4-2 convertible their patriarch brought home as a year-old demo unit. It's been a family hauler, hot rod, a languishing restoration project and finally, a like-new show cruiser. Yet another owner has possessed his 1967 Shelby G.T. 500 since he was 18 years old, when he had the chance to buy the car he'd first seen when his neighbor rolled it onto the block after purchasing it new.
Keep an eye out for the August issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines to get the full stories on each of these feature cars along with additional vintage photos and, of course, our usual full-color spread on the cars as they appear today.
An Indy pace car's rocket-powered revival
Would you give $600 for this Oldsmobile? Still undecided? Maybe this will help: It's not only a legitimate 4-4-2 Pace Car, it's the actual car used to pace the Indianapolis 500 in 1970.
Its owner, Jeff Stolowski, a Michigan-based antique furniture dealer and Oldsmobile enthusiast, paid $600 for this amazing piece of Oldsmobile history eight years ago.
It came to Stolowski through a tip from a friend, Mike Edgar, who was at an estate sale and spotted the car in a barn. Edgar wasn't sure of the year or if it was a legitimate 4-4-2, but told Stolowski over the phone that it could be had for a mere $600. Stolowski figured it was worth the gamble and went for it, hoping that it was at least a well-optioned 1970 4-4-2. After checking the VIN with an Oldsmobile authority and confirming his research with the GM Heritage Center, Stolowski knew it was the best $600 he'd ever spent.
The pace car's extensive restoration is going to be featured in the May issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines. The car was so incredible, HMM editor Terry McGean figured it warranted booking studio time with Dino Petrocelli to get the images just right.
What you see here are just a few outtakes (snapped with a point and shoot) from that session. We don't want to divulge too many details here, but the car's history is interesting, to say the least. Look for the May issue of HMM to hit newsstands in late March.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass 4-4-2
For a late 1970s car with more than 100,000 miles on its odometer, this 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass 4-4-2 for sale on Hemmings.com appears to remain in excellent shape. Sure, it's no 455-powered W-optioned beast, but it's still one of the better-looking Colonnades, it's been optioned up, and it doesn't need much – if anything – to be enjoyed. From the seller's description:
All original, White / Gold accents. 403 V8, auto. Runs great, no leaks. All new rubber hoses and belts. Bought in TX. Many options including rare factory T-Tops, cruise, am-fm stereo (Delco factory), tilt wheel, A/C, rear defogger, positraction, sport steering wheel. Very clean original in and out. Real nice cruiser.

Restored Olds Rolls Home Top Honors
James and John Kryta of Inline Tube took home championship honors last month from The 2010 Summit Racing Equipment Show Car Series ISCA Finals with their impeccably restored, radiant green 1972 Oldsmobile 442 W-30.
The brothers Kryta started the concours-level restoration in June 2009 and completed it on February 15 of this year, in time for the Detroit Autorama. The 442 netted Best Restored of Show at Detroit and went on to earn first place and best restored at four other indoor shows, then finally took the overall win in Houston over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
This is the first time in the history of the ISCA series that an Oldsmobile has been named the restored champion.
Robson Sale Ready to Rumble
RM Auctions' Milton Robson sale in Georgia is set for this weekend. If you like to gawk at muscle car prices of the rich and famous (or maybe you are rich and/or famous), this should be a good sale to attend or at least read about after the deals are done.
Robson made a fortune in the wholesale food business and, over the last 25 years, has used a portion of the proceeds to stock his cupboards with muscle cars as well as pre- and post-war American classics.
Robson is somewhat notorious for creating quite a stir back in 2002 when he advertised his 1971 Hemi 'Cuda convertible in Hemmings Motor News for $1 million – an unbelievable price back then.
On November 13, RM Auctions will help Mr. Robson thin his considerable herd with a one-day sale at his estate in Gainesville, Georgia. Robson has cherry-picked some special cars for his collection; among the 56 vehicles crossing the block will be a trio of Pontiac GTO Judge convertibles including a Starlight Black '69 Ram Air IV car with a four-speed transmission, a red 1970 Ram Air IV four-speed, and a Quezal Gold 1971 Judge also with a four-speed.
Robson's stable also includes: a 1969 Yenko Camaro with original paint and decals; number 63 of the 69 ZL-1 Camaros built; an LS6 Chevelle convertible; an L78-powered 1969 Camaro Indy Pace Car; a 1960 Chrysler 300F, the only one equipped with a French-built Pont-A-Mousson four-speed manual gearbox; and a 1953 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible ordered by a friend of GM design chief Harley Earl with a GMC 4-71 supercharger, custom-made exhaust headers and chrome-plated exhaust pipes that exit through the front fenders.
The showcase where Robson keeps his collection is equally jaw-dropping – a former 48-stall horse barn now decorated with vintage signs, a recreation of a 1950s Mobil Service Station, a Western-style saloon with room for 80 guests and a fully equipped barber shop.
Robson said he's divesting of his treasures in order to travel more and spend time in Florida.
RM has posted some video of the cars on YouTube, and, of course, the consignments are also posted on their website.
Ad of the Week: Portrait of GM Performance
How's that saying go about a house divided?
In the last several months, I've seen only a handful of ads from GM featuring their family of cars, but said ad usually places Chevy in the spotlight, with honorable mention going to what remains. Back in late 1967, GM placed ads like this wonderful four pager that appeared regularly in period publications; I ran across this in a November 1967 issue of Motor Trend.

Supernatural Episode Trailer: You Left Me to Die!by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Supernatural treated its fans to a Halloween fitting for The CW drama last night, one filled with Toblerone and vampire killings.
But look for things to get a lot more intense next Wednesday, as the official network teaser for "Southern Comfort" depicts a very angry Dean and serious tension between the brothers.
Not featured, yet making his presence felt on the installment: DJ Qualls as Garth! Yes, he's back, TV Fanatics, having assumed Bobby's duties during the past year. Prepare yourself for the presence of an "avenging ghost" on the episode and watch the preview below:
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: Supernatural, Promos
That the episode didn't show a half hour scene about Sam and Amelia's separation, doesn't mean he didn't say goodbye to her. He wasn't happy at all about leaving, didn't you see his sadness walking out of the room? They did love each other, that's for sure.
The thing that puzzles me is this: They seem to want to make a big deal out of Amelia and how Sam was finally happy with her... but he couldn't have loved her or been happy all that much if he just walked out on her without saying goodbye in the middle of the night...
The way I see it Sam thought Dean was dead so why look. It's hard for Sam to tell Dean anything without him getting mad at him. But it's not the guys that write the stories either.
Sorry... I think Sam is hiding behind his new found love. He DIDN'T even look for Dean. Left him there and walked away with out even trying to save Dean. And you can say Crowley said he was dead, but really, Demons DO lie!
Just because while ago Sam did stuff behind Dean's back, its not a fair reason to do the same, doing it against Sam is really immature..
I didn't say having a friendship with a vampire was bad, the selfish action by Dean was to hide it from Sam. I mean, Dean being friends with a monster, does that happen every day, NO. Dean always judged Sam for his actions, but when Dean does similar things..everything should be fine right?....
I don't think Dean or Sam are selfish. They just both accept things differently. Dean can't be mad at Sam for wanting a 'normal' life. But Sam needs to understand that normal is not an option for Dean, and probably not for him. It's probably devestating to Sam and so he fights against it as much as he can, whereas Dean accepts it. We know that Dean doesn't really want this life, but he knows it's the one he was dealt. Dean is angry at Sam for not looking for him because that is what Dean would have done. But Sam isn't Dean. Dean tried to have a normal life after Sam went to hell because that is what Sam made him promise. But he wasn't truly comfortable in that life. Sam didn't make that deal with Dean when Dean disappeared...and I think it was easier for Sam to assume Dean was gone, because he wanted that normal life so much more than Dean does.
Sam needs to find some kind of middle ground. Make his own 'normal' life.
you should read huffington post review of blood brother, describes perfectly dean's character & sure selfish he ain't, never was, either immature, remember he brought up sam & put aside his own life & desires to do so, he went to hell for him, he almost die again making a deal with death to retrieve sam's soul, what part from all this strike you as immature or selfsih? as for the part he colaborate with a vampire in order to get out from purgatory, what he was suppose to do? spend an eternity there fighting for his life waiting his brother to save him? which he did'nt even try, so why dean should tell him what happen in purgatory & how he manageto to escape when sam does'nt give a crap about him?
as for sam
yeah abandon dean to rot in purgatory for eternity was very mature of sam, sam was always selfish from the get go, he abandon dean to go to colege after all he had done for him, in season 1 when dean went to retrieve him to go look for their father sam's responce was i'm sure he's fine
& in the bridge scene when dean says that they have to continue hunting in order to avenge their mother? sam's responce was that he did'nt even remember her so why bother to avenge her it would'nt change anything,
only when his girlfriend end up dead suddenly remembered that he had to go hunting in order to avenge her, not selfish at all,
you want me to go on with references from season to season? all the lies & secrets he kept from dean or how many times he try to kill him? i don't think so. the fact that he did not look for dean it was the cherry on the cake of all his previous actions of selfishnes
Most people think Sam is the selfish and immature one this time, but I actually think is really immature by Dean to be pissed at Sam, I mean, its not he was very honest when he came back, he hide his friendship with Benny. Sam did what any grown man would've done: moved on with his life, met a girl and had a happy life. Its not like something had him pulled to that horrific life of a hunter, Dean is the only one who gets freewill...I understand Dean wasn't happy at first, but he should stop pretending he is Sam's boss. Sam started the apocalypse, but all that was because Dean came to Stanford to bring Sam back to the hunting life. It is not fair to be working on something you don't like, if there's nothing that keeps you on it.
Garth is hilarious. I can't wait.

I purchased this as well as a few other shirts from the same company. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase. It fits great and it is comfortable, but does get a little fuzzy after multiple washes.
I ordered size small, the size I generally wear, but these shirts were extremely small especially for maternity wear. So I would recommend that you order one size larger as the sizes run very small/petite. I had to return them all.
I found this maternity top on O.co for a co-worker who is expecting her third baby and needed something new & cute. She was pleasantly surprised, and has worn this top several times. She started wearing it in her third month & is still wearing it well into her 7th.
I LOVE this shirt. It may not be the most awesome pattern but it fits PERFECTLY. It is a good quality, not super see through like a lot of white tops. Also, the neckline is very flattering to the boobage (even if the boobage is small :) Totally dig this top - going to buy a few more items from this brand.

Thanks Richard and Jan for your comments. I included your suggestions and updated the code.
It is essential for reliable programs, that they stop in case of errors. Therefore "error()" is much better than "disp()" in case of not matching inputs. When the lean documentation explains, that the search-term must be a string, accepting a cell string is not apropriate.
Richard's suggestion to use STRFIND is important. I'd suggest:
function result = strcompare(target,searchterm)
if ischar(target)
result = any(strfind(target, searchterm);
elseif iscellstr(target)
result = ~cellfun('isempty', strfind(target, searchterm));
error('1st input must be a string or cellstring');
This can be replaced with
~isempty(strfind(str, substr))
or for your example
>> ~isempty(strfind('Marc goes fishing', 'goes'))
ans =
strfind also works for cell arrays
>> strfind({'Marc goes fishing', 'banafdsafas'}, 'goes')
ans =
[6.0000e+000] []
so could be adapted for your other use cases. It will be much faster than your loopy code, which is also inefficient in other ways.

- 0Mar 26, '13 by stephanie.There is a 2013 KSU thread you should check out.
It's my understanding that there isn't an exact science to how they choose the students. Just realize that you've gotten this far because of your grades and TEAs are good, so try and relax :-) can you retake your interview? I'm in the same boat as you. 3.7 GPA 89 TEAS. It's a stressful waiting game.

If you don't use optics, the factory sights are a little crude for accurate shooting beyond 50 to 75 yards. The standard Mini rear sight only offers 1-MOA adjustments and the front sight is too wide for a good sight picture out at 100 yards and beyond. I don't use optics on mine and prefer the Williams Foolproof Target rear sight as shown below. As for the front sight, I reduce it's width to .070" by milling the upper half of the blade on both sides, also shown in the photo below. This creates a very precise sight picture. The sights alone will not make your rifle more mechanically accurate, but will let you shoot it more accurately. If you don't have access to a milling machine or the skills to use one, you can do this with a file, if done slow and carefully. You can also have the front sight done by your gunsmith (extra cost).
The older Mini-14s with thin barrels have problems with barrel harmonics. Just by adding the weight of a brake or flash suppressor has been shown, in most cases, to signifficantly reduce group sizes. Sometimes this is all that is needed to reduce group sizes by 1/2. It will not however help with vertical shot stringing when the barrel heats up. This will be addressed later.
There are several flash suppressors on the market for the Mini, including a M-14 look a like with an integral rabbit ear front sight, which requires the removal of the standard front sight. Most of the flash suppressors are of the pin on type.
The true muzzle brakes on the market for the Mini are of the threaded type.They work very well in reducing muzzle rise and felt recoil, which allows you to shoot more accurately in rapid fire. The only drawback is that they require the barrel to be threaded by a gunsmith (extra cost).
Be sure to check your local or State laws regarding flash supressors and threaded barrels. Some States don't allow them...........
The photos below show the only true pin on type muzzle brake/comp available for the Mini-14. Even with Nato ammo, there is zero muzzle rise and less felt recoil with this brake. It is also Cali legal. I can be contacted via PM for more info and availability of this brake.

I installed the Williams rear sight in my Mini 14 with a V notch instead of the peep sight. It gave me a more rapid target acquisition. The notch is available from Williams.
Sorry, the pictures didn't load the first time.
The M1 Carbine rear sight can be fitted to the rear sight dovetail.
It's not hard to do and is available from Brownells for under $30.00.
You will need to thin the front sight blade as it has a smaller peep hole than the stock sight.
Makes for a nice set up. You need to file a 45 degree bevel on the sight to fit the dovetail and shorten the little metal piece that is screwd down to hold the stock sight. It also needs beveling to match the bevel on the front of the sight that you filed. No need to modify or drill holes in your receiver, just modify the front sight, which you can replce should you want to put it back to stock.
Look at it closely and you will see what needs to be done. It gets tight when it comes to having enough room to tighten the screw.

Full-back Rob Cook scored 20 points as Gloucester clinched a 40-33 Aviva Premiership victory over Newcastle at Kingsholm.
The Cherry and Whites hung on to take the spoils in a 10-try thriller but the struggling Falcons did manage to come away with two important bonus points.
Cook scored one of Gloucester's five tries while kicking three penalties and three conversions for the hosts, who at one stage held a 30-point lead.
Flanker Sione Kalamafoni, lock James Hudson, centre Mike Tindall and wing Jonny May got the others but a resurgent Newcastle would end up matching Gloucester's try tally.
Gloucester did not do themselves any favours when Hudson was sin-binned early on as he illegally ploughed into the back of a Newcastle attacking ruck 10 metres out.
But the Falcons failed to take advantage of their one-man advantage and Gloucester took the lead instead when Kalamafoni was stopped under a ruck a metre short but was able to stretch his arm out and touch the ball over the Newcastle line.
Newcastle then exerted some pressure but poor handling and a resourceful defence kept them out until Chris Yorke finally made the breakthrough after a long pass found him in space to jog over unopposed.
Phil Godman's conversion levelled the match but the equality did not last long as the hosts struck just before the half-hour when Cook finished off a sweeping move inside the Newcastle 22 and added the extra points himself.
When Newcastle infringed just outside their own 22, Cook slotted over the resulting penalty to extend the Gloucester lead to 17-7 at the break.
Newcastle's chances of getting anything from the match, even a losing bonus point, were looking grim just 10 minutes into the second half as another Cook penalty and then a charge-down try from Hudson, which Cook converted, took the lead to 20 points.
Cook then set up a Tindall try to give Gloucester their bonus point, before the full-back also delivered the final pass for England international May to finish off a fine move.
It was all going perfectly for Gloucester but the Cherry and Whites subsequently lost their composure and Newcastle came roaring back into the match.
The Falcons whittled a 30-point deficit down to just 11 within nine minutes as George McGuigan, Andy Saull and then Alex Tait went over for tries. The latter evaded some loose defence to touch down for the score which gave the Falcons a try-bonus point.
A mistake just outside the Newcastle 22 saw Cook land his third penalty as Gloucester hit 40 points but in the closing stages Noah Cato went over on the right and Joel Hodgson's touchline conversion earned a valuable second bonus point for the visitors.
