It's easy not to trash the planet — if you're dirt poor and die young. But is it possible for all of us to live long and satisfying lives without costing the Earth? That's the question behind a measure of national well-being called the Happy Planet Index (HPI). Its latest update, released this week ahead of the Rio+20 summit on sustainable development, names Costa Rica as the world's most "developed" nation and puts the US on the sick list. To show how different the world looks when viewed according to the HPI, rather than conventional wealth, New Scientist applied distorting lenses. In the top map, countries are sized according to their GDP, and shaded by GDP per capita. As sub-Saharan Africa almost shrinks from view, western Europe, the US and Japan swell and flush a deep red. But this wealth has fuelled massively unsustainable use of natural resources. Nic Marks of the New Economics Foundation in London developed HPI as an alternative measure, "to capture the tension between good lives now and good lives in the future"...

Obama Trade Document Leaked, Revealing New Corporate Powers And Broken Campaign Promises
A critical document from President Barack Obama's free trade negotiations with eight Pacific nations was leaked online early Wednesday morning, revealing that the administration intends to bestow radical new political powers upon multinational corporations, contradicting prior promises. The leaked document has been posted on the website of Public Citizen, a long-time critic of the administration's trade objectives. The new leak follows substantial controversy surrounding the secrecy of the talks, in which some members of Congress have complained they are not being given the same access to trade documents that corporate officials receive. "The outrageous stuff in this leaked text may well be why U.S. trade officials have been so extremely secretive about these past two years of [trade] negotiations," said Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch in a written statement...
China's 2012 Report On Human Rights In The United States
China just released a report on the (lack of) human rights over the past year in the U.S.A. Are we living in an authoritarian society without knowing it? Via China Daily, when you put things this way, it sounds pretty bad:
… Read the restThe Human Rights Record of the United States in 2011 is hereby prepared to reveal the true human rights situation of the United States to people across the world and urge the United States to face up to its own doings.
In the United States, the violation of citizens' civil and political rights is severe. It is lying to itself when the United States calls itself the land of the free (The Washington Post, Jan 14, 2012).
Claiming to defend 99 percent of the US population against the wealthiest, the Occupy Wall Street protest movement tested the US political, economic and social systems. Ignited by severe social and economic inequality, uneven distribution of wealth and high unemployment, the movement expanded to sweep the United States after its inception in September 2011.
Somali Islamist Leaders Place Ten-Camel Bounty On Obama
Foreign policy or political-commentary performance art? The militant Islamists ruling southern Somalia have made Barack Obama a wanted man globally by offering ten camels to anyone who ensnares him. The organization is also renowned for their outstanding Twitter account. Russia Today reports:
… Read the restFirst, the US State Department offered up to $33 million for help in catching the leaders of radical Islamist group Shabab, which controls much of Somalia. But Shabab has made a counter-proposal: a bounty of 10 camels for Barack Obama.
On Thursday, the State Department offered individual rewards for tip-offs about various Shabab leaders depending on their seniority, with the founder Ahmed Abdi aw-Mohamed valued at $7 million. The group has claimed responsibility for mass suicide bombings and prides itself on its connections with Al-Qaeda.
"I can assure you that these kind of things will never dissuade us from continuing the holy war against them," posted Fuad Mohamed Khalaf (bounty: $5 million) on a propagandist website.
Australia's Drone War: The 'Kill Chain'
Reports ABC News:
A senior Australian Defence Force officer has revealed details of how the Royal Australian Air Force deploys Israeli-owned drones for battlefield surveillance and to target anti-government Islamic fighters in Afghanistan.
Wing Commander Jonathan McMullan says Australia is "just buying hours" on the Heron drones from a Canadian company that in turn "leases them from IAI" (Israel Aerospace Industries), which is wholly owned by the Israeli government.
While enthusiastically endorsing the Heron's capabilities, Wing Commander McMullan was highly critical of the quality of training provided by Israeli and Canadian instructors to Australian drone crews.
The unarmed Israeli Herons first entered RAAF service in Afghanistan in December 2009. They are the centrepiece of the ADF's rapidly expanding drone warfare capability that has so far cost an estimated $550 million. Australian Defence Force chief General David Hurley told a Senate estimates hearing in Canberra late last month: "I wouldn't discount the fact that we might have armed UAVs thinking through our force structure review into the future."…

Defense Secretary Finally Admits U.S. Is at War in Pakistan
Reports Spencer Ackerman on WIRED's Danger Room
… Read the rest"We are fighting a war in the FATA, we are fighting a war against terrorism," said Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Wednesday, referring to the tribal areas of Pakistan that the U.S. has spent three years bombing heavily. Was that so hard to admit?
For years, it has been. Neither the Bush nor Obama administration has been forthright about the starkest fact of the recent war on terrorism: most of it takes place in western Pakistan. As CIA director and now Pentagon chief, Panetta has been one of the key architects of the accelerated drone-and-commando war the U.S. wages there in what amounts to an open secret. In 2009, the critical year in that acceleration, Danger Room boss Noah Shachtman started pressing the Obama administration for disclosure about a war the U.S. waged in all but name.
It may be late, but at least now it's happened.
The Controversial Email From America's Last Prisoner Of War
Rolling Stone on the strange and sad saga of Bowe Bergdahl, the final U.S. prisoner of war being held by the Taliban. After sending a goodbye email to his parents stating that he was "ashamed to be an American", Bergdahl walked off his base in Afghanistan three years ago:
… Read the restThe Taliban captured 26-year-old Bowe Bergdahl on June 30th, 2009, and since that day, his parents, Jani and Bob, have had no contact with him. Like the rest of the world, their lone glimpses of Bowe – the only American prisoner of war left in either Iraq or Afghanistan – have come through a series of propaganda videos, filmed while he's been in captivity.
Bowe's own tour of duty in Afghanistan mirrored the larger American experience in the war – marked by tragedy, confusion, misplaced idealism, deluded thinking and, perhaps, a moment of insanity. And it is with Bowe that the war will likely come to an end.

The USA Is The Top Exporter Of Sperm
But why? It's largely due to America's reputation as the gold standard in sperm, Time magazine senior editor Jeffrey Kluger said Thursday on CBS This Morning. "As with any other good product, the two keys are quality control and versatility, variety of product. We have very, very strict (Food and Drug Administration) controls on who can donate and how heavily they have to be screened. We also have a multi-ethnic population, which means we're very appealing to the world because people can come in from Japan, from Brazil, anywhere else and find a genetically, ethnically matching baby." There are now nearly 700 sperm banks in the U.S., according to the Food and Drug Administration. The fertility industry in the U.S. has grown from $979 million in 1988 to a projected $4.3 billion in 2013, according to Marketdata, an industry analysis and market studies publisher. Men are paid based on quality standards, such as their level of health, height and education. A man can make $500 per donation, and up to $60,000 annually, according to the Time magazine report...
Europeans Decide Greece Is the Laziest, Most Incompetent Nation in the EU (Greece Disagrees!)
Greece is the hardest-working country in the EU! According to Greece. And only Greece. According to Britain, Germany, Spain, Poland, and the Czech Republic, it's the laziest country in Europe. Meanwhile, Germany is the most respected EU country, according to the Pew Global report, European Unity on the Rocks. And Greece appears to be living in a bizarro universe where 78% of its respondents held negative views of Germany. Three in five Greeks said their country had Europe's hardest working citizens. Half of the rest of the respondents from the other seven nations said Greece had the laziest workforce in Europe...

Studio Ghibli co-founder, producer and former president Toshio Suzuki appeared on MBS's documentary profile series Jounetsu Tairiku this weekend, and made comments that suggest that fundamental changes may be underway at the revered studio. More after the jump.
The occasion seems to have passed largely unmarked upon in Japan, but 25 years ago today, Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli's beloved adaptation of Eiko Kadono's Kiki's Delivery Service debuted in theaters. More after the jump.
Studio Ghibli's latest anime film When Marnie Was There directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi opened in Japan with 461 screens on July 19 and earned a very disappointing 379,000,000 yen (about US$3,734,000) in its first weekend. It was only 42% of his first feature film in 2010, The Secret World of Arrietty. Hit the jump for more details.
Studio Ghibli has updated their soundtrack offerings on the North American iTunes stores with music up to their brand new When Marnie Was There. See what's available after the jump.
Deadline has revealed that Kick-Ass' Chloe Grace Moretz will voice the title character in Studio Ghibli co-founder Isao Takahata's (Pom Poko, Grave of the Fireflies) The Tale Of The Princess Kaguya. Timed for the Oscars, distributor GKids has planned an October 17th date for its North American release. More after the jump.
A promo offers a first look at Ronia the Robber, a fall CG TV series directed by Studio Ghibli legend Hayao Miyazaki's son Goro Miyazaki at Polygon Pictures studio for NHK, based on Astrid Lindgren book. New ads also preview When Marnie Was There, the new Studio Ghibli movie from Secret World of Arrietty director Hiromasa Yonebayashi, opening July 19th. Check these out after the jump.
Japanese TV broadcast's of Studio Ghibli movies tend to elicit huge responses on social media. There's the "balse" case where Castle in the Sky broke a Twitter record as a key example. Last week's the NTV Friday Roadshow broadcsst of Princess Mononoke sent plenty of artists to Twitter and Pixiv. This week, program aired My Neighbor Tototro, and as you might guess, their was the response really roared. Get a look after the jump.

"Yes Means Yes" Senate Bill 967 (SB967) Student Safety: Sexual Assault,
"Affirmative consent" means affirmative, conscious, and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity. It is the responsibility of each person involved in the sexual activity to ensure that he or she has the affirmative consent of the other or others to engage in the sexual activity. Lack of protest or resistance does not mean consent, nor does silence mean consent. Affirmative consent must be ongoing throughout a sexual activity and can be revoked at any time. The existence of a dating relationship between the persons involved, or the fact of past sexual relations between them, should never by itself be assumed to be an indicator of consent.

When it comes to mens fashion, dressing young has always been a major draw for those looking to stay hip and current, and these schoolboy-inspired styles are some great examples of the kind of appeal these collegiate-type clothing have.
Schoolboy style encompasses several factors; it not only references the kind of uniform and structured outfits boys normally wore through elementary and middle school, but it also contains an innocence and youthful factor that many of us are drawn towards. These sleek styles include everything from preppy blazer jackets to dress shirts and sweater vests, and anyone looking to get in touch with their younger self will definitely flock to acquire these fashion styles.
The emergence of these schoolboy looks in modern fashion is a great example of how styles that were once popular back in the day, are making their way back into mainstream culture.

In the Picture
Bruce Jay Friedman's darkly comic novels, short stories, and screenplays place him among the past century's best American writers. In his new memoir, Lucky Bruce, he reminisces about many of them.
Bruce Jay Friedman has been writing across genres and media for more than half a century. Literary types remember Stern, his 1962 breakout book, referred to by one critic as "the first Freudian novel." Movie buffs know him as the screenwriter of blockbusters like Splash and Stir Crazy. The film The Heartbreak Kid was based on his short story "A Change of Plan." And then there were his several plays, including the popular 1970 Steambath.
Now Friedman has written Lucky Bruce, a memoir that takes readers from his Depression-era childhood in the Bronx to his time in Hollywood, with stops along the way at Elaine's and other literati hangouts. He recalls his long friendships with Mario Puzo and Joseph Heller and recounts amusing run-ins with Norman Mailer, Natalie Wood, Warren Beatty, and many others, all with his famous dark humor. His passion for writing, and admiration for those who do it well, is ever present. (You can read an excerpt from Lucky Bruce here.)
Tablet Magazine's Ellen Umansky spoke to Friedman—or BJF, as he's known to many—about his storied career. [Running time: 21:46.]

I enjoy climbing in the lower grades. Long multipitch v diffs or thereabout are my idea of mountain heaven. I am also a Mountain Leader. Most of my climbing has been in the Uk but I have also climbed in France, Portugal and Switzerland.
I plan to climb a 6000 metre peak in South America or the Himalaya. Chimbaroza anyone?
Target is to do this before I am 50 so lots of excuses to nip off ot the Alps or Scotland for alpine / Winter training.

686 Smarty Rise Above Jacket - Men's
? Share a...
looks good, bad warmth
for walking around town in the winter this jacket is good, to go up in the mountains i would have to say no. the insulation in the jacket is just a cheap hoody. when i say cheap i mean cheap like i could not wear the hoody out in the fall by itself.

first 686 jacket and I was really happy with its quality. It came with the fleece liner which is awesome, its light super comfy and warm. the jacket when its all zipped up together and such is so nice. Its light and held up really well when I was wearing it in the snow. good amount of pockets and the color ended up being super sexy. I love the jacket, you will too.

Sick in every way
This is my second season in this jacket, and I absolutely love it. It pretty much has every essential feature covered, while adding plenty of bells and whistles to keep you happy. It's really light and you don't feel like you're hauling around a suit of armor. At the same time, it's fully water and windproof, and I haven't noticed any scuffs of tears after a season of shredding. The liner hoodie is nothing to write home about fashion-wise, but for layering, it works perfectly. Zip it into the shell, and it just became a parka. Velcro on the chest pockets lets you get to stuff easily in gloves, there's a snowskirt for the deep days, pit zips for cooling off, and it comes down nice and low in the back, keeping your assets covered. The pass holder built into the cuff makes me feel like a secret agent. Oh, and did I mention it looks sick? I'll often wear it around town when it's rainy - who needs an umbrella!

I am skinny, 5'11 140 lbs, and I have long arms. Will the small have long enough sleeves for me? For that matter will the medium?
I got the XL and I am 6'6" 240 lbs with ape length arms. It has PLENTY of length in the bod and sleeves and a little to spare all over. I bet I could wear a Large without an issue so a small might be a safe bet man!
Super sick jacket, 686 makes top quality stuff!
Just received mine, haven't taken it snowboarding yet, but wanted to comment on a few things. Design is wicked if you don't mind turning some heads in the lift line. I just bought some fatigue green pants and they look real fresh with the grey jacket, even though it looks mostly blue in the pics. And if you've never had a 686 jacket before, you have no idea how well constructed they are- it's obvious they're a snowboarding company with gear made for, and by, snowboarders. Tons of little design details, everything is super functional, and the jacket has this super comfy brushed/soft feel to it. You need this!
This jacket is sick. It doesn't just say "waterproof," it is actually waterproof. We were stuck on a broken down lift for 2 hours in drizzel and I was not only dry but warm. 686 makes sick clothes. The removable liners are a good option for those warm days. Tons of pockets for all your goods... This jacket rocks
Couldn't ask for more!
This jacket has more pockets than should be allowed on one item. You can stash whatever you need for the ride in its own place and still have room for mom's chocolate chip cookies. The coat is super warm and can be adjusted for any range of temperatures. So, go for it! You deserve it.
Mike Merrill
This jacket is awesome. Does the layering for you and you get a nice fleece plus waterproof shell all in one. Layer them up for nasty cold wet days, rock just the shell when the sun comes out and stay comfy in lodge with a dope fleece. The Smarty system is great if you have a pair of 686 pants. My only caution - 686 runs big! Don't size up if you are trying to go baggy. I'm 5'7", very athletic build (broad shoulders) and wear a small in 686. I'm a medium to large in everything else. I took this jacket on a trip to Whistler and was very warm and dry at -18 C (about -1 F).
great jacket
this jacket is sick!! basically two jackets in one if you take the liner out. i prefer to take it out or it feels to heavy. very warm and tough jacket. like the baggy feel to it. keeps snow from falling down in your ass. lots of great features with the jacket. would highly recommend this and a great price!
Does this jacket have under arm zips?
Does this jacket have under arm zips?
Yes, it does actually. Angus either does not own it or was just BS'ing lol. There really are no technical jackets made nowadays that do not have either pit, chest, or back zips.

Rodder's Journal reprints vintage aftermarket performance catalogs
All photography courtesy of Rodder's Journal.
One of my favorite aspects of building traditional hot rods and gow jobs is that there's just so much room for creativity and experimentation. Didn't like how the twin-81 carbs ran last time? Try dual 97s. Heard that Stude V-8s are untapped high-compression colossuses? Drop one in and see! This, along with our reverence for the past and our pursuit of authentic vintage speed parts, means that—blessedly!—our rides are never really done.
It also means that there is a veritable galaxy of castoff, forgotten and unidentified parts floating around out there. From blocks to heads to ignitions to cams, pistons, gears, diffs, steering boxes, axles, wheels… the potential selection of componentry sold at swap meets and traded among greasy-handed friends is almost infinite.
Aftermarket catalogs from the period are indispensable guides, both to identifying what you've got and to charting your future performance mods.
Trouble is, the original literature, as you'd expect, tends to have been hard-used and then abandoned to the tattering of time as soon as the next issue showed up in the mail. Recently, I nearly pulled the trigger on one such catalog being offered on an online auction site that had been bid up to around $50 and was described something like: "Oil-stains. Binding mostly missing. Rat-chewed?"
The rarity of these catalogs, in decent usable condition, makes tracking down a comprehensive collection time-consuming and costly.
So, unless holding the actual half-century-plus-old paper in your hands is important to you—and I do appreciate how enjoyable that can be—our friends at Rodder's Journal have gone to the trouble of gathering a significant library of the literature for us.
The ready-made and affordable reference is comprised of almost 30 catalogs from legendary aftermarket performance parts manufacturers and distributors from the late '40s through the '60s like Edelbrock, Bell Auto Parts, Karl Orr, Iskenderian, Chet Herbert, American Racing, Hurst and Mickey Thompson.
This Pandora's Box of performance is full—over 500 pages!—of products, specs and tips, depicted in catalogs reproduced in their entirety and in full color to look and feel just like the originals. A supplemental directory of the companies still in business, along with their current contact information, is a time-saving bonus.
Any enthusiast would be giddy to receive this box of hot rodding goodness in the mail. To pre-order the Vintage Catalog Collection Boxed Set, visit the store at www.roddersjournal.com, or call 800-750-9550. Cost: $49.95, plus shipping and handling.
2015 Great Race sold out
Outside Ogunquit, Maine, during the 2014 Hagerty Trophy Run. Photo by author.
The Hemmings Motor News Great Race presented by Hagerty is arguably the quintessential vintage car rally. First run in 1983, it was conceived as a time/distance/endurance rally across the country. Over time it grew to include five divisions – Grand Champion, Expert, Sportsman, Rookie and X-Cup – and is now open to all 1972 and older collectible cars, trucks and motorcycles (yes, a motorcycle competed once). In recent years it's been massaged to a more manageable 2,400-mile, nine-day test of man and machine that has taken entrants down the east coast, along the Mississippi River and around the Great Lakes. So when it was announced that the 2015 Great Race would return to the west – for the first time in several years – and travel along historic Route 66, it was expected entries would be swiftly submitted.
On October 8 we reported that there were less than 20 spots remaining. Great Race director Jeff Stumb has since announced that the 100-vehicle field has been sold out in record time, and there is a lengthy list of hopefuls waiting to hear of cancellations.
Why cap the number of Great Race entries at 100 (excluding X-Cup, reserved for college and high school teams)? Teams depart each day's starting line at one minute intervals. When you do that math, it's easy to understand the limitation, not forgetting the logistics involved for officials and support crews that have to stay one step ahead of the racers.
For 2015, teams will begin arriving in Kirkwood, Missouri, in advance of the now-traditional, equally-challenging warm-up rally, the Hagerty Trophy Run, which will be held on Friday, June 19; reportedly it will trace the eastern end of Route 66 in parts of Illinois. Kirkwood will also serve as the official starting point for the 2015 Great Race on Saturday, June 20, at which point teams will rally to a lunch stop in Rolla before finishing the day's stage in Springfield, Missouri.
Lunch and dinner stops from there – in order of appearance – are Claremore and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on June 21; Elk City (Oklahoma) and Amarillo, Texas, on June 22; Tucumcari and Santa Fe, New Mexico, on June 23; Albuquerque and Gallup, New Mexico, on June 24; Winslow and Flagstaff, Arizona, on June 25; Kingman and Lake Havasu, Arizona, on June 26; Twentynine Palms and San Bernardino, California, on June 27; and lunch at City of Industry, California, before hitting the finish line in Santa Monica, California, on June 28.
Here are a few tips if you are already thinking of catching segments of the Great Race. As is always the case, the exact rally route is kept secret to prevent teams from practicing. Before the start of each day's stage, teams are given course instructions just one hour before their start time; no GPS or maps are permitted in the rally vehicles, so drivers and navigators must rely on analog watches and course instructions to get from point A to B successfully and on time. The best locations to see the cars and meet the drivers/navigators are at the day's lunch and dinner stops. Exact locations for each will become available as details are finalized at each host city. We will provide updates here as they become available, or you can monitor the official Great Race website, where you can also learn more about the Great Race history, rules, and award structure.
2015 Great Race entry list already past 80 cars
The Hemmings Motor News Ford Speedster on the 2014 Great Race.
The 2015 version of the Hemmings Motor News Great Race presented by Hagerty promises to be bigger and better than ever, with next year's route tracing the path of Route 66 from Kirkwood, Missouri to Santa Monica, California. As with last year, the number of entrants will be capped at 100 cars (excluding X-Cup entries, reserved for college and high school teams), which leaves less than 19 slots open for the 2015 event.
The reason behind the cap comes down to logistics; with 100 competitors in The Great Race departing one minute apart, the field is spread out across two hours, making it a near impossibility that the race will expand beyond its current size. While the field traditionally fills well in advance of the race, director Jeff Stumb observed that it's never filled this quickly, with 80-plus entrants received just months after the conclusion of the 2014 event.
Jeff attributes this surge in popularity to the race's 2015 route. "No one wants to miss Route 66," he said, "driving it in the Great Race is two bucket list items that can get crossed off at the same time."
The 2015 event will have scheduled stops in Rolla, Missouri; Springfield, Missouri; Clearemore, Oklahoma; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Elk City, Oklahoma; Amarillo, Texas; Tucumcari, New Mexico; Santa Fe, New Mexico; Rio Rancho, New Mexico; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Gallup, New Mexico; Holbrook, Arizona; Flagstaff, Arizona; Kingman, Arizona; Oatman, Arizona; San Bernardino, California; and Santa Monica, California.
With a "couple dozen" veteran teams not yet registered, Jeff predicts that the cutoff may be reached as soon as November 1. In other words, those considering an entry into the 2015 Great Race would do well to register immediately, if not sooner. For additional details, visit GreatRace.com.
Coker Tire Challenge 2014 visits Chattanooga for a three-day vintage car rally
Photos courtesy of Coker Tire Challenge
Corky Coker is once again hosting his own Coker Tire Challenge this weekend in and around his home of Chattanooga, Tennessee, which is also the location of the headquarters of Coker Tire and of Honest Charlie's Garage. This will be the 9th annual installment of the Coker Tire Challenge, a three-day time-speed-distance rally that features many of the same race cars that you have seen participating in the Hemmings Motor News Great Race over the last several years.
The race is similar to the Great Race; however, the entire event will begin and end each race day at the same location, making the logistics much easier for the racers and support crews by reducing the carnival "here today, gone tomorrow" atmosphere usually surrounding cross-country distance races.
The rules are the same as those used in the Great Race, and the pre-planned course will wind participants through some of the prettiest scenery in the southern United States. The event officially starts on Friday, September 19 at 8 a.m. in front of the Staybridge Hotel in Chattanooga, with racers returning to Coker Tire Headquarters beginning at 5:30 p.m.
Racers will again be on course beginning at 8 a.m. on Saturday, and are scheduled to return to Coker on Fort Street at approximately 4:40 in the afternoon. This would be a great time to see all the cars participating, as there will be a parc fermé between 4:40 and 6 when you can talk to the racers and see all of the race cars up close.
Racing on Sunday begins at 8 a.m., again from the Staybridge Hotel, and finishes at 11 a.m. at Coker HQ, where this year's winner will be announced. Last year's winners, Jody Knowles and Beth Gentry, will certainly be among the favorites, but as they won last year's event by just 1.74 seconds, it's really anybody's trophy to win in this 3-day event.
Hemmings Motor News' 1932 Ford Speedster is also entered in the race, with publisher Jim Menneto behind the wheel and business manager/navigator Mari Parizo telling her boss where he can go and when.
More information on the Coker Tire Challenge and updated results from each day's competition can be found online at www.cokertirechallenge.com/. We will also be posting updates on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/HemmingsNews and Twitter twitter.com/HemmingsNews.
One-off handbuilt car pays tribute to Barney Oldfield's groundbreaking Golden Submarine
Photos by Teddy Pieper, courtesy Auctions America.
Dale Bell and Charlie Glick might not have the same name recognition among auto historians as do Barney Oldfield and Harry A. Miller, but the duos do share something in common: Both conspired to build a car for competition, and both ended up with the Golden Submarine. But while the result of one collaboration is lost to time, the result of the other will head to auction this weekend.
According to lore, the inspiration for the original Golden Submarine came when Bob Burman, a racing friend and rival of Oldfield's, died in April 1916 at the wheel of his open-cockpit Peugeot during a road race in Corona, California. Oldfield ostensibly felt that Burman would have lived had he been safely enclosed inside his car, with a safety cage around him.
Then again, in the spring of 1916, when Oldfield approached Miller, he was also in need of a new mount – his seven-year-old Christie front-wheel-drive race car was "ready for the scrap heap," in his words – and Miller had just completed his first from-scratch racing engine, a lightweight overhead-camshaft 130-hp 289-cu.in. four-cylinder that would be capable of 120 MPH speeds.
Oldfield debuted the original Golden Submarine in June 1917 to much fanfare and some ridicule, but it would prove itself later that year when Oldfield took four out of seven match races from Ralph De Palma in a Twin Six Packard and when Oldfield proceeded to take down every AAA dirt-track speed record from one to 100 miles.
Later that year, however, Oldfield's enclosed-cockpit idea nearly killed him when a fuel line ruptured in a crash at Springfield, Illinois, and the Golden Submarine's single-door jammed. Oldfield fought his way out of the Golden Submarine, but from there on out raced the car in open-cockpit configurations. Though he retired from racing at the end of 1918, he held on to the Golden Submarine for a while longer, handing the wheel over to Waldo Stein and Roscoe Sarles.
Like Oldfield, Dale Bell had a penchant for racing – at least in the Great Race time-speed-distance rallies – and he called up Glick at Heartland Antique Auto Restorations in Paris, Illinois, in late 2005 asking him to build a car to run in the next year's Great Race – something patterned after an old race car, but also enclosed to keep out the elements during the Great Race. "So I said you're absolutely describing only one vehicle," Glick said. "And that's the Golden Submarine."
Bell gave Glick seven months to complete the car, but he also handed over a basis for the build: a 1916 Chevrolet with a 171-cu.in. Chevrolet four-cylinder engine of the same vintage, already built for racing with dual SU carburetors.
Glick's first order of business was to visit the Indianapolis Motor Speedway archives for photos of the original Golden Submarine, which he then took measurements from and scaled up to a little larger than the car's original size. "I had to make it to fit a regular human, two actually – driver and navigator," he said. "In those old photos, you see Oldfield really had to squeeze himself into the car."
He then created a set of patterns for the body and began to hammer it out of sheet aluminum, the same material that Miller used for the original, laying the body panels over a cage of one-inch square aluminum tube, bent to shape. He fabricated both front and rear suspensions as well and adapted four-wheel hydraulic brakes to make it more roadworthy. Hidden headlamps and marker lamps make the car street-legal.
While Glick admits that it's not as accurate as other replicas out there – Robert "Buck" Boudeman's replica, for instance, has an authentic Miller engine powering it – he said he worked hard to engineer a measure of reliability into it that a perfect replica wouldn't have. Indeed, while Bell dropped out of the 2006 Great Race with health issues partway through, he said that the combination of light weight, powerful engine, and favorable model year handicap made it competitive in vintage rallying. "It ran so good, it was almost like cheating," he said.
The Glick-built Golden Submarine tribute car will cross the block at this weekend's Auctions America Auburn sale with a pre-auction estimate of $40,000 to $60,000. For more information, visit AuctionsAmerica.com.
UPDATE (4.September): The Golden Submarine tribute car was withdrawn from the auction.
Take Your Kid to a Vintage Rally Day
Photos by author.
Every day should be "Take Your Kid to a Vintage Rally Day."
Okay, that's not a real holiday—not that any "take your kid to anything" day is any more real than we make it, but this past weekend, I took my son, Santiago, to the Fifth Annual Domenico Spadaro Memorial Drive.
And we had a blast!
The rally was setup as a "gimmick" rally with driver and navigator pairs getting the route instructions about 30 minutes before departure. Along with the route, there were a couple of pages attached that asked participants to count a few different types of signs and to mark the location of various landmarks along the way.
The Domenico Spadaro Memorial Drive began four years ago, after the death of its namesake, for two reasons: to raise funds for cancer research and to celebrate among friends and family the life of a man who loved Italian cars.
Domenico Spadaro's White Plains, New York, shop is now run by his three children, Frank, Santo and Vera. The customers remain as loyal as ever and plenty of them showed up early on Sunday morning to share breakfast and then burn some rubber on an approximately 80-mile route in southeastern New York State. Graciously hosted by Mike and Meg Bruno (car collectors themselves) at their Armonk, New York, home, approximately 100 cars attended. If it were a car show and not a rally, it would have been considered a grand success. Largely Italian by origin, the field of rally entrants included a broad list of models from Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Fiat, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, BMW, Aston Martin, Porsche, Triumph and more. You get the picture.
After the rally, everyone gathered again at the Bruno farm, surrounded by acres of horse pasture, to eat lunch. As several people mentioned, it was more like a family get together that just happened to include a hundred cars and about a gajillion horsepower.
We saw some old friends, including the rally meisters Richard Klein and Walter Eisenstark, and Michael Maddalena, who brought his trick Mercedes-Benz Fintail rally car with him. And we made some new friends, which seems about as good a reason as any to get out and play with old cars. In our case, it wasn't an old car, but a fun one nonetheless.
The best for me, however, might be that Santiago has really gotten the hang of being my navigator and seems to truly enjoy the event. Of course, the two of us "winning" the rally for the third year in a row might have something to do with it. A nine-year-old kid doesn't care that the old, busted rally trophy he just received had been gathering dust on someone else's shelf for 30 years. It might as well be the Borg-Warner Trophy to him.
We often speak around the halls of 222 Main Street about getting kids into this hobby. If you read only the front-page news, they would have you believe that kids today are happy with a tablet or an iPhone and could not care less about automobiles. We beg to differ. They just need the right exposure beyond the typical crossover utility vehicle or vanilla sedan, designed by a computer to be most fuel efficient, that most of us own to get to work each day. Hell, if I were nine years old, the video screen in the minivan would probably be a lot more important to me than the computer-controlled engine without a dipstick under the hood.
But, if you can get your kids—or grandkids—to do something fun, something different, with an old car, then that might just pique their interest. Instead of telling the little man that "We are off to do some old car stuff with a bunch of old grownups," I simply invited him to be my navigator. It certainly can't hurt to see the unusual shapes and bright colors of so many vintage sports cars. To his credit, he was fascinated with "the blue one," Glenn Rudner's sharp and exhilarating 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Zagato. Already, I can tell the kid has good taste.
Beyond the cars, he had a great time following the rally route and we got into a rhythm, with him calling out the mileage for the next instruction, whether it was a left or a right turn. To his credit, he corrected me when I thought we were supposed to take a different route. He also noted when a lot of the other participants were playing follow-the-leader and ganging up like lemmings to take a wrong turn. He already knows the number one rule of rallying: Never follow the guy in front of you.
So, before the season ends, find an event to take the young ones to, preferably something where the cars are run and where the owners will let the kids get in them, sniff around the leather, petrol and Castrol, perhaps peer under the hood to see what the world used to be like. They'll love it. And you won't regret it.
Roostertailing in Russia to celebrate the centennial of the Russian Grand Prix
Photos courtesy Oldtimer.ru.
Just a few years before, the famous New York-to-Paris race wound its way through tsarist Russia, with competitors describing nearly impossible-to-traverse terrain there, some of the worst on the global competition. But by 1914, Russian motoring enthusiasts had not only grown in numbers, they had also organized their own rallies and races and set the stage for the first Russian Grand Prix, which took place in May of that year.
But with the onset of World War I and the Russian Revolution, that Grand Prix would also be the country's last, at least until the one scheduled for later this year in Sochi. Russians, understandably, are proud of their brief moment in the international motoring spotlight, and so last month the organizers of the third annual Bosch Moskau Klassik paid tribute to the Russian Grand Prix on the occasion of its centennial with a rally around Moscow and some spins around a wetted extreme driving track. The folks from Oldtimer.ru shared some photos and a writeup of the event with us on the My Hemmings pages:
27 crews took off with a minute interval from the national Historic Museum just next to the famous Red Square. Early morning crowds in their hundreds flocked to the city center to see all that historic automotive delicacy in action. The first leg of the run was a classic regularity rally through the historic center of Moscow, while the second one took place on the Federal Guard Service extreme driving track near Moscow, where the pilots had to show off their driving skills under varying road conditions.
Among the cars which took start that morning were mighty Americans, traditionally loved in Russia – Cadillac De Ville, Chevrolet Corvette and Dodge Charger; English icons of automotive style – Jaguar XK120, E-Type and Austin-Healey; fine examples of German automotive craftsmanship – Mercedes-Benz 300D and BMW 2000CS, and, of course, nostalgic and memorable to the older generation Russian classics of the communist era – Chaika, Volga, Moskvich and Pobeda.
One of the most exciting parts of the competition were paired speed trials, in which two Russian Moskvich's threw down the gauntlet to some of the best cars in motorsports history – Austin-Healey Mk 3000 and Austin Mini. The outcome, of course, was predictable, but it was a lot of fun both for the drivers and for the spectators. As a result of a tough final race, the winner's trophy was awarded to the Austin-Healey Mk 3000 crew G.Artamonov/F.Golov, while Belarusian team I.Krishkevich/A.Khaletski on the Austin Mini – last year's event winners – took second place overall. The third prize deservedly went to a well-known in Russia, automotive journalist A.Pikulenko who drove a Moskvich 2140 Rally.
This year's edition of Bosch Moskau Klassik celebrated a centenary of the first Russian motorcar race ever to have a Grand Prix title – Grand-Prix d`Automobil-Club de Saint-Petersbourg, held on May 18, 1914. The Grand Prix and a special Bosch trophy were awarded to a German driver Villie Scholl, who came first overall on his Benz racer and covered the distance of 224 km in 1h 48m, showing a spectacular average speed of 123.8 km/h. Notably, the oldest of the vehicles taking part in this year's Bosch Moskau Klassik turned 100 years old – it was a 1914 Locomobile Model 48 speedster, restored recently in Russia. This 8.6-Liter giant was built on an imposing 3.6-meters chassis and weighs over 3 tons. The start of this exotic beast was quite a show for Muscovites!

Great Race 2014 – parting thoughts
Teams are staged for the start of the 2014 Great Race in Ogunquit, Maine. Photo by the author.
On one hand, it's an epic adventure: 2,400 miles of mostly scenic back roads rarely travelled by those who are more interested in getting from one stop to another in a hurry. In the other hand, it's an epic adventure: a 2,400 mile mechanical torture test that manages to find the breaking point of everything from headlamp brackets to entire transmissions, and then some. And somewhere in between these two extremes, the racers, navigators, support crews and volunteers who sign up to tackle those 2,400 miles do so as a family. Friendships are formed and rekindled; teams help other teams in distress; and there's genuine care about the well being of all involved. It's what makes the annual Great Race the pivotal pre-1972 vintage car rally that it is.
To quickly recap, the Great Race was conceived as a time/distance/endurance rally for vintage vehicles. First run in 1983, it has evolved over time to include five divisions – Grand Champion, Expert, Sportsman, Rookie and X-Cup – and is now open to all 1972 and older collectible automobiles, trucks and motorcycles (yes, a motorcycle competed once). If you're curious as to how the divisions are organized, here's how it works. Grand Champions – comprised of a driver, navigator, or both, who have won the Great Race prior. Expert – drivers and/or navigators who have had success in the race, but never won overall. Sportsman – usually the largest class of competitors, it is comprised of teams that have done the Great Race before but have yet to find major success. Rookies – self explanatory (this year, there were 39 rookie teams competing). X-Cup – designed to entice high school and college students to both compete in the Great Race and become involved in the collector car hobby.
The 2014 edition, which began in the seaside tourist town of Ogunquit, Maine, and finished in one of the largest retirement communities on the east coast – The Villages, Florida – marked the second consecutive year I've had the honor of participating. Along with my colleagues Jim O'Clair, Jeff Chao and Carson Cameron, I followed driver (and publisher) Jim Menneto and navigator Mari Parizo through each leg of the 13-state, nine-day journey that made stops in 17 cities between the start/finish bookends. Reporting on the day's activities, division leaders and overall standings were followed by hours of hopscotch driving and car maintenance, leaving little down time to reflect on what passed in front of our eyes. But now that the adrenalin has subsided and another chapter of the Great Race has been written, I finally have the chance reflect on the little things that, in most cases, were unseen by the casual observer.
Semi lift gates have more than one purpose. As evidence, I snapped this shot with my cell phone at 9:38 p.m. in the parking lot of the Valley Forge Resort Casino in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, which also doubled as the day's finish line. We were just wrapping up some much-need maintenance on our 1932 Ford Speedster, which had just traversed perhaps the most undesirable road conditions we've ever faced, when word was passed to us that Jeff and Eric Fredette were well on their way towards swapping out transmissions in their 1933 Ford pickup. Contenders for the overall lead going into the day, they managed to limp in with an ailing transmission. A replacement was kindly donated by a spectator who heard of their trouble, and to expedite the swap the Fredette team removed the front end sheet metal and used the lift gate on the Coker Tire rig to get the job done. Their effort, which wrapped up after one in the morning, kept the team in contention right to the bitter end. Incidentally, those horrific frost-damaged roads in the Pennsylvania Poconos had an impact on more than one team. Grand Champion Rex Gardner (1998 and 1999 Great Race winner) and grandson Kolton Hastert apparently found themselves briefly airborne while negotiating the day's route, and upon landing witnessed the transmission in their 1935 Ford three-window coupe fail in epic fashion. Though sidelined from the race, they opted to follow it to the finish, just like Mary and Ted Stahl, whose beautiful 1936 Auburn 851 Phaeton gave up just one mile from the Pennsylvania border on I-84 in New York.
Never underestimate a Japanese car. There were four international teams entered in this year's Great Race: Team Wildfire's 1966 Jaguar 3.8S (Tom Nawojczyk and Wally Leach – both from the United Kingdom); The Krauts' (as printed in the program – Thomas and Benjamin Karr from Germany) 1934 Ford Deluxe Phaeton; McPherson College with their 1957 Ford Fairlane (whose driver, Jake O'Gorman hales from Canada); and Toshi Team Wam with Guillermo Wam of Florida and Toshi Haru from Japan. Pictured above is their steed – a right-hand-drive 1970 Nissan Laurel. Never seen without a smile, Toshi and his team arrived in Ogunquit without a Timewise calibrated speedometer and a mere handful of tools. Picking up a few words of English along the way, Toshi and the little car that could managed to make it to the finish without major issues. They finished 82nd of 82 cars that completed the race – 40 minutes and 59 seconds off perfect; but that didn't seem to matter to them. They finished. Toshi fittingly received the Everyone's Friend award at the banquet, and it sounds like he intends to run the 2015 Great Race.
Do what it takes. Never was this more apparent to us than right at the starting line. As we've reported prior, Team Hemmings was the second car out of the gate in Ogunquit, except that the start was not an auspicious one: The clutch pedal rod snapped, leaving the car stalled in first gear with a few thousand onlookers – and us as a team – wondering if there was some kind of joke being played out. Forced to push-start the car past the green flag, Jim nursed it three miles in heavy traffic in first gear to the town's Welcome Center where, after retrieving our truck full of tools, we cut a length of bottle jack handle to use as a sleeve, hopefully enabling Jim and Mari to continue on to both the lunch stop in Rochester, New Hampshire, and the dinner stop in Lowell, Massachusetts. One of the unsung heroes of many a Great Racer, Hal Everett immediately immersed himself in our Ford at the Lowell stop, welding the two chunks of otherwise useless metal back together again. In a page right out of the "do not attempt this at home" manual, Hal's welding goggles had gone missing, so instead he borrowed two other sets of sunglasses – which he positioned over his own – to help him get the job done. Later in the evening, Naomi Schnell – nurse and mechanic extraordinaire – helped us create some extra clearance on the floorboard for that new weld. Both Hal and Naomi worked tirelessly each night, helping any team in need, often past midnight.
One Meat. Sounds kinda bland. Boring. It is. But when a lunch or dinner stop is facing a lot of hungry, thirsty and often tired racers, crews and staff, what's the easiest way to offer some kind of nourishment? Let's do some math here for perspective. This year there were 109 teams entered. A total of 104 started the race, but multiply that by two – driver and navigator, which brings the number of people to 208. Now throw in some 35 or so Great Race staff and volunteers, a few extra crew members per cars – and we can't forget that some teams were swapping drivers and navigators during the race – the number of hungry mouths easily swelled to 500; give or take a few. At the banquet in The Villages, there were 450 meals dished out. So one meat sounds like a logical way to go for the host cities. Or, as was the case this year, a slice of cold peperoni pizza at one stop. Really?! Note to cities petitioning for a stop for 2015: Offer more than one kind of meat – please. A hot dog, bag of chips and a glass of something that was supposed to be sweat tea does not cut it, nor does it evoke the thought "Gee, I could come back to visit Portsmouth, Virginia."
Feeling Hot. I'm not talking about a popular song played at most weddings; I'm talking about the weather. If you're considering joining the Great Race extravaganza, we suggest you increase your budget for lots of water and other suitable thirst aids. In just one day we went thru three bags of ice and a case of bottled water – not including what we received at the lunch and dinner stops. Once we got into southern Pennsylvania, the temperature continued to rise the further south we went. At one point, Jim O'Clair – who rode his Harley-Davidson most of the distance – reported the ambient temperature was 105 degrees. Cool towels help, but only briefly when 90-plus cars are parked on a paved lot on a 95-degree day after four hours of negotiating the rally route.
The Sights. In spite of the hours of ceaseless driving, heat, storm threats, mechanical malfunctions, late dinners, awful trailer parking conditions, bad roads, insane traffic and the occasional grumpy city volunteer, most of us would never see the sights we passed. It's hard to view the vintage car lots and the drug store where Pepsi was invented from 40,000 feet. Or have dinner on the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-10). Smart phones – in spite of how aggravating they can be – have a neat little camera that take some decent shots. It's the one thing I regret this year: I didn't use it as often as I should have to capture the brief moments of time along the Hudson River in Poughkeepsie, New York, or the historic section of New Bern, North Carolina (birthplace of Pepsi, incidentally). Take a moment – albeit briefly – and capture that sight for posterity. You may never have the opportunity to see it again.
Great Race 2015. It was announced at the banquet in The Villages that the Hemmings Motor News Great Race presented by Hagerty will be heading to the desert southwest during the third week of June. Though many of the details and exact route are still in the planning stages, the race will start alongside the Mississippi River in Missouri and will meander along and/or on Route 66 before finishing on the southern California coast. Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona are all on the preliminary map. Entries are already being accepted for 2015. Visit GreatRace.com for more information. I hope to see you along the way.
Postwar car wins Great Race for the first time; drivers win it for the third in a row

In 30-plus years of Great Race history, nobody has run a perfect day, nobody has won the race in a postwar car, and nobody has won the race three years in a row. But husband-and-wife team Barry and Irene Jason of Keller, Texas, pulled off all three feats this year when they crossed the finish line this past weekend in The Villages, Florida, in their 1966 Ford Mustang.
The perfect day for the Jasons, running in the Grand Champion class, came on the first day of this year's Maine-to-Florida race, when they aced every one of the day's four legs. While they didn't repeat the perfect day throughout the rest of the nine-day, 12-state, 2,400-mile rally, they did scatter 10 more aces throughout their run for a cumulative score of 1:02, or 19 seconds ahead of the next closest competitor, Expert division winners Jeff and Eric Fredette in a 1933 Ford pickup.
One reason a postwar car hasn't won the Great Race is the handicap factoring that rewards drivers of older cars. Even without that advantage (a 1966 Mustang qualifies for a handicap factor of 0.98 while, say, a 1916 Hudson like the one driven by Howard and Douglas Sharp qualifies for a handicap factor of of 0.66), the Jasons held a five-second margin over the Fredettes in the final scoring and a 17-second margin over Wayne Bell and Curtis Graf, two former Great Race champions driving a 1932 Ford, who took second in the Grand Champion class.
While the Jasons made this year's run in a Mustang, they won both the 2012 and 2013 Great Races in a 1935 Ford five-window coupe. For the win, the Jasons took home a check for $50,000.

Great Race recap, days 5 and 6: through North Carolina
New Bern, North Carolina, welcomes Grand Champion division contenders Howard and Douglas Sharp. Photos by the author.
Day five of the Great Race started where it stopped on day four: Portsmouth, Virginia, although technically teams left from Norfolk for Waterfront Park in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, for lunch before proceeding to picturesque New Bern. Of the 104 teams that started in Ogunquit, 95 started the day as the ambient temperature pushed into the 90s. Thankfully it was an uneventful day – only one team failed to reach the finish, and the pop-up thunderstorm did not impact the racers – although synchronizing the analog clock with race control seemed to be problematic for a few rookie entries. Still, the day's journey consisted of seven legs, which can often make things interesting when the scores are tabulated.
To that point, stage five was claimed by 2012 and 2013 Grand Champions Irene and Barry Jason in their 1966 Mustang with a time of 8.82 seconds off perfect. Hot on their heels were Expert contenders Jody Knowles and Beth Gentry in their 1932 Ford Cabriolet with a time of 8.91 seconds. First in the Sportsman division went to Chad Nelson and Brandon Schindler in their 1928 Ford Speedster with a time of 17.16 seconds and seventh overall. Coming in 20th overall and first in the Rookie division was Daniel Jobe and David Prueitt in their 1946 Cadillac Series 62 convertible at 31.68 seconds off perfect, while the X-cup division went to the Ponca City Wildcats and their 1956 Buick Century convertible at 58.59 seconds.
Cumulative scores after four days of racing looked like this. Expert division – Jeff and Eric Fredette 24.45 seconds off perfect and first overall. Grand Champion – Irene and Barry Jason with a time of 32.34 seconds and in fourth place overall. Sportsman – it was still Chad Nelson and Brandon Schindler at 32.76 seconds off perfect and in fifth overall. Rookie – Joe and Bill Hensler retained the top spot, who are also in 31st overall, with a time of 1:36.96. X-Cup – Team McPherson College, last year's division winners, has moved into the top spot with a time of 2:48.30 and are in 44th overall.
Grand Champion division driver David Reeder and navigator Sawyer Stone arrive in Clinton, North Carolina, in their 1932 Ford Victoria.
The heat was unrelenting as a total of 97 cars drove thru the starting gate for day six. First stop was for lunch in Clinton, North Carolina, and after an hour's rest racers were then sent to today's destination: Wilmington, North Carolina. The morning segments went smoothly; however, one team had quite a scare during the afternoon run. According to information I received at the day's finish line, a part failure related to the rear end of Angelo Ricca's 1929 Ford Speedster sent him and navigator Jacques LeBlanc off the road and wheels up. Both rookies walked away from the accident unhurt, although slightly shaken; they were present at the finish line later in the evening as their car was towed in by Tommy's Trailers. We would be remiss in failing to report that since the inaugural 1983 Great Race, not a single fatality has occurred in spite of the millions of miles traveled; an impeccable safety record. While news of the incident spread among participants, a brief yet sudden thunderstorm soaked the first two dozen cars that were already on display.
At the conclusion of the evening, a total of 91 cars crossed the finish line, led by Grand Champion division contenders the Jasons with a time of 7.84 seconds. In the Expert division it was John Hollanswerth and Ty Holmquist in their 1940 Cadillac with a time of 10.20 seconds, which was also good for second overall. Sportsman entrants Jonathan Klinger and Davin Reckow took top honors in their 1917 Peerless with a time of 14.07 seconds and sixth overall. In the Rookie division it was Larry and Harvard Marcus and their 1969 Chevy Camaro with a time of 32.68 seconds off perfect; good for 27th overall. And in the X-Cup McPherson College continued to show their winning prowess with a time of 36.47 seconds, putting them 35th overall for the day.
After six grueling days, cumulative scores look like this as teams prepare to head through South Carolina on day seven. First, overall and in the Expert division: Jeff and Eric Fredette (1933 Ford pickup) with a time of 34.23 seconds off perfect. Grand Champions and second overall are the Jasons with a time of 40.18 seconds. Sportsman and fifth overall are Chad Nelson and Brandon Schindler at 53.04 seconds. Rookie division and 29th overall are Craig Rubright and Garrett Jenkins (1937 Ford Tudor Sedan) at 2:12.98. X-Cup and 41st overall is still held strongly by McPherson College (1957 Ford Fairlane) with a time of 3:24.77. As to Team Hemmings, we're 10th in the Sportsman Division and 30th overall with a time of 2:15.27.

We rented a King sized bed room that included complimentary breakfast and full bath (no hot tub since those rooms add $90/day to the price). While the staff was not unfriendly, they didn't provide any information unless directly asked. We had many gnats or fruit flys in our room and when we reported, a different room was suggested. Since we were tired and had already unpacked and also saw flys in the lobby, I didn't have confidence the new room would be any better. Complimentary breakfast was nice but had ordinary selections. We'll try a B&B next time.

Stylish Stone Bracelets
By: Heidi Borchers of Inspired at Home
Create your own fashion style with this easy rubber stamping technique on resin tiles from Heidi Borchers of Inspired at Home. You can even make these reversible – two looks in one!
- Style Stones (by Clearsnap)
- Ancient Page Inks (2 – 3 colors for each color palette)
- Rubber stamps
- Embossing heat gun
- Beads
- Elastic jewelry cord
- Instant jewelry glue
- Optional: 3D Crystal Laquer
- Determine color palette for your bracelet design. Apply one ink color at a time to one side of stone by pressing or rubbing the ink pad on the Stone. Use heat gun for several minutes to set ink. If you are careful, you can apply 2 – 3 colors at a time but you do run the risk of transferring the ink colors from one pad to another. Until you get the hang of this step, it is recommended that you only apply one color at a time and heat set after each color. Be careful because the Stone will get hot! Let it set for several minutes before handling in the next step.
- Ink rubber stamp with black ink (or dark color to contrast with background color). Carefully stamp rubber stamp design onto Stone. Use heat gun to set ink. Repeat process with both front and back and sides of Stones, always heat setting between color applications.
- Determine desired length of bracelet. String Stones on elastic jewelry cord with several beads in between. Tie knot to join ends of cord. Apply dab of glue to knot. Let set. Cut off excess cord.
Heidi's Designer Tips: For the prettiest color results, always leave the center of your Style Stone uncolored or use a very light ink color. This draws the eye in and make the design appear more dimensional. Keep in mind that you can stamp on both the front and back of these style stones so you can use one color/motif pattern on one side and a completely different color/motif on the back – just keeping in mind that the beads will need to match/complement each side!

Deceased Man's Treasured Maps Go To L.A. Library
By editor
Originally published on Mon October 22, 2012 7:11 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. A Los Angeles real estate agent walked into a tiny old house. The owner had died and his job was to throw everything in a dumpster. The L.A. Times reports the man found something he could not throw away - tens of thousands of maps. They were stuffed in cabinets and closets, even inside a stereo. One was from 1592. The collection of the late John Feathers has now been donated to the L.A. Central Library - more maps than the library collected on its own in 100 years. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
