WINNSBORO — Over 100 community members and elected officials showed up to the grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony for Mission Ridge Golf and Leadership Center — formerly know as the Fairfield Inn Country Club — on Friday.
After just over 18 months of renovation, the facility will be used to teach leadership and volunteerism to people of all ages.
Gov. Nikki Haley, who was expected to speak, was unable to attend due to unforeseen obligations but sent a message for the Christ Central leadership team and board of directors through a spokesperson.
"Your vision and leadership continue to make an impact in rural South Carolina and this does not go unnoticed," Haley wrote. "You and your leadership team truly set the example for neighbors helping neighbors. Thank you for your leadership, vision and your true love of South Carolina."
The country club was built in the 1860s and after recent financial troubles, Christ Central was asked by Fairfield County, the state, Mt. Zion Society and the country club to assist in keeping the building as a premier showcase for the county.
Fairfield County Councilman David Brown expressed his gratitude to Christ Central and every person involved in the renovation.
"We want to thank everyone that supports Christ Central and everybody who is interested in Fairfield County and does what is good for the county," he stated.
The facility will be used for community activities by offering golf, conferences, weddings, graduation luncheons and other events.
A catering service will be available via the facility's kitchen.
The leadership training center will focus on tools to serve communities effectively and serve as a retreat for mission station directors.
"It was our dream to have a place to train volunteers and a place for each of of our mission directors to bring their team to a place to get away from the busy work among the poverty and to be prepared for the ideas exchanged," Christ Central CEO Jimmy Jones said.
In addition to the ribbon cutting ceremony, Christ Central also celebrated its 17th anniversary on Saturday at Mission Ridge.
Christ Central started on May 18, 1997, on a street corner in Columbia serving nearly 300 homeless people with breakfast and service.
The ministry was unable to get a building until Sept. of 1997 when they secured their first location at 2401 Main Street in Columbia.
Christ Central now has 90 facilities including the college Christ Central Institution in Wagener.
After the mission of feeding the homeless, Jones noted the next goal was to house them and prepare them to find jobs or earn education components.
"It created quite a process to find out the things that were helpful and needful for the life changes," Jones noted. "We're constantly looking for how we can make better the community by helping to figure out what would it take to get a business to move here. What would it take to improve the opportunity for people to come to a small town and do business."
Jimmy Burroughs Director of Christ Central in Winnsboro recounted the journey of renovating the building as well as the rebuilding process.
"Many times we would make a trip down to Lowe's or Chips and about time it got time to put the material up it was either misplaced, lost or we had to put it up and tear it back down, so we know what restore means too. It means going back and forth to the store two or three times," he said with a smile.
A lifelong resident of Fairfield County, Burroughs spent the majority of his time during the 18-month period as the key contact for the restoration of Mission Ridge and he is excited to see the project come to a close.
"This is a great facility for Fairfield County and now its a public facility for the entire county to use," he said.
Mission Director Barbra Franklin specifically thanked the volunteers who contributed the countless hours to the renovation of the building.
"They (volunteers) have been so generous with the giving of their time and their resources with absolutely no pay," she noted. "And if they were paid there wouldn't be enough money to actually give to them."
The major use of the facility will be for training for Christ Central's leadership team as well as leaders of the local community and around the state.
These groups include the government, churches, commerce, education and other civic minded groups.
Also social events included will be weddings, birthday parties, graduations and other celebratory events.
"We're grateful to celebrate this day with this community of Winnsboro to impact our generation and the ones to follow," Franklin said.
The facility will also be available as a retreat center for various groups.
Jones believes Mission Ridge is not only in the perfect location, but will be deemed invaluable to the community.
"There is so much history (in the county seat of Winnsboro) and There are so many reasons for people to drive off of the interstate and to take the time to experience southern hospitality in grand little town of Winnsboro," he emphasized. "It is an awesome opportunity today that if we use wisely what The Lord has trusted us with. Other towns, because of the leadership in this town, will see what its like to restore the landmarks and those things that are important and contain many memories."

I was so honored to have been asked to be a judge for the Apartment Therapy Room For Color 2014 contest sponsored in part by Sherwin Williams. There were so many colorful entries. It was also so great when I saw that Janel over at AT put together a post announcing my participation (read it here), it really made me happy. One of the questions that she asked me about color was fun to answer so I thought I'd share that with you now. She basically asked me what my thoughts on color are at the moment – what palette I'm digging. This is the collage I created below followed by my thoughts.
I love these four images and this fun, colorful palette – but the draw to me is that navy has replaced black as a strong accent color. Black and white is such a huge trend at the moment, yet I feel like I'm seeing it too much now and its losing it's appeal. That's why a nautical deep navy is a nice replacement and break from black while still keeping things deep and dark and providing a nice contrast amongst all of the light colors and brights that are trending at the moment. Plus navy (not cobalt or any other blue – strictly navy) and crisp white look stunning together, so a deep navy wall with white trim – well, you can't go wrong!
Here were some of entries in Warm, Cool, Light, Dark, International that I found really interesting. Apartment Therapy readers judged what they liked the most (there were so many entries!) and the judges were sent the 5 most voted for rooms per category and each of us voted for our favorite without knowing what the other judges were voting for. It was done very fair and square which I appreciated. You view all of the homes here. And guess what Germany? One of your own won the International submission!
So much fun!!! And thanks again Apartment Therapy for having me. Here are the winners, but in my eyes everyone won the moment they submitted their entry because that takes major courage.
I think I need to team up with some big company and have a decorating contest for decor8 readers, right!? Wouldn't that be fun???
(Images in the top collage: Johan Rosenmunthe for Bolig Liv magazine, Lys Vintage, Dust Jacket Attic , Smitten Studio Online. Single image: George in Delaware (winner!). Bottom collage: top left: Amanda in Montana (winner!), top right: Jessie in Ohio (winner!), bottom left: Katharina in Germany (winner!), bottom right: Jo in the UK.)
Are you guys frequenting real estate websites like I do? It's been an obsession of mine for years and years. Ever since the internet was invented. And seriously it's so fun, it's like playing House Hunters International from your desk. I love to dream about my alter ego and her life with 5 apartments and homes scattered all over the globe. The beachfront house in LA, the NYC townhouse, the Sydney surf shack, the hideaway in some tropical destination (Bali sounds nice) and the London home away from home. Where would you have homes? Do you dream big like I do, too? For all of the dreamers out there may I suggest visiting Fantastic Frank. This agent has great apartments for sale in mostly Stockholm and Berlin (and coming soon, Munich!) and man,they are sweet. Here are a few impressions to linger over.
I love how they are pimping out these places thanks to their team of interior stylists, gorgeous! What a fun job, too right???

Marble is already trending and only growing in strength, at least in my part of the world, but have you seen snakeskin making an appearance? I just noticed it being used as a pattern on pillows and tea cosies over at by nord copenhagen and was impressed. I REALLY like it which surprised me because snake isn't usually on my radar. I also like the appearance of mini trees again or at least, smallish ones vs. the massive standard American version I grew up around. Seems a smaller tree just may be a big holiday decoration trend again for 2014 as it was last year (remember this post?). What do you think, does marble, snakeskin and mini trees do it for ya? How about pine branches in vases? Thoughts?

On Monday, October 13th you simply must keep an eye on decor8 because I'll be writing up a book review of the gorgeous new title by stylist Hans Blomquist, In Detail, photographed by Debi Treloar and Hans as well — AND giving away 5 gorgeous copies. It's part of a blog book tour I'm kicking off for Ryland, Peters and Small. You'll want to pin ALL of the photos that I plan to show you, I promise — so watch this space!
It's moody, it's edgy, it's romantic and it's the book that you'll want on your coffee table for Autumn!

Four-Links – Terraplane pickup, Larz Anderson Fiat, mystery Mini racer, Le Mans Crosley
* One of Jesse the justacarguy's more recent finds is this 1934 Terraplane sedan converted into a pickup. So many neat details here.
* Our friend David Greenlees at The Old Motor has been trusted by the Larz Anderson Museum to get this 1907 Fiat Tipo 50/60 (674-cubic-inch six-cylinder and double chain drive!) in shape for this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, which will throw a spotlight on Fiat. They're looking for a little help with the tires and tubes, though.
* Jeroen Booij at Maximum Mini has another mystery Mini derivative for us to ponder, a slinky little race race with a mid-mounted transverse Mini engine. Do want, so bad.
* A couple years ago, the boisterously named Gettin' a Li'l Psycho on Tyres blog ran a short profile on the Crosley that Phil Stiles and George Schrafft built in 1951 to take on the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Just think of how far they might have gone had they stuck with the stock generator.
* Just north of us here at Hemmings world headquarters is Rutland, Vermont, a decent-sized town home to the Vermont State Fairgrounds. Only a handful of times over its history has the fairgrounds hosted auto racing, and CatamountStadium.com has put together some history of those races.
Neon signs add color to RM Dingman sale
Photos courtesy RM Auctions
Many stunning restored Fords will cross the block next weekend during the second Dingman collection sale run by RM Auctions, but most of them, like the Pebble Beach class-winning 1936 Ford Gläser cabriolet that we've already previewed, lack a little color: Blacks, subdued greens, and dark blues dominate the color palette among the automobiles. Fortunately for those of us who enjoy a splash of color here and there, the Dingman collection still has quite a few neon signs that will also go up for bid.
Besides his selection of cars, Michael Dingman, who previously offered up selections from his collection for auction with RM in 2006, has assembled what RM describes as the largest privately held collection of neon signs in North America. "The signs tell a story," Dingman said. "They have something to express. Most signs from my collection are from an extraordinary time: traveling the first transcontinental road from Atlanta, New Jersey, to San Francisco, California; the history of America going west from Chicago to L.A. on Route 66; and places that don't exist anymore, like drug stores and soda fountains."
One of the most sought-after of those signs would have to be the Ford "Jubilee" sign above, a massive sign (42 inches wide, 96 inches tall and 17 inches deep) produced by the Mulholland Sign Company of Kalamazoo, Michigan. While we all associate Ford with the Blue Oval logo, starting in 1950 the company replaced it with a crest that Ford public relations would later, in conjunction with the company's "Golden Jubilee" 50th anniversary celebrations, point out belonged to a Ford family, just not Henry Ford's family. In the 1960s the crest evolved in shape, and then in the 1970s Ford replaced it altogether with the familiar Blue Oval. The Dingman Jubilee sign, described as Grade 9+, is estimated to sell for $20,000 to $25,000.
Also valued at about the price of a new car are a couple of Chevrolet signs, one of which, the double-sided yellow porcelain sign above left, displays evidence of recent restoration and has been judged a Grade 7+, is expected to sell for $25,000 to $35,000. The other, produced by Walker & Co. of Detroit with a lit-up clock face, has been judged a Grade 8+ and is also expected to sell for $25,000 to $35,000.
Not many American marques aren't represented in the Dingman neon collection, as we see from the unrestored Crosley sign included in the sale. Judged a Grade 7, it's expected to sell for $12,000 to $16,000.
The second RM Auctions Dingman sale will take place June 9-10 in Hampton, New Hampshire. For more information, visit RMAuctions.com.
UPDATE (4.June 2012): Forgot to mention that the entire collection will go at no reserve. Also, thought this video of Michael Dingman discussing his collection was worth including.
Four-Links – Voigt Special, GT40 in NYC, Derham Dodge, Spohn Maybach
* If, like moi, you loves yourself some itty-bitty Crosley-based specials, then you'll enjoy the above photo and the story behind the Voigt Special posted over at Crosleykook.
* Motoring Con Brio this week found some neat photos of a Ford GT40 Mk III navigating the streets of late 1960s New York City. Awesome.
* The New York Times this week put together an excellent story on a one-of-a-kind Derham-bodied Dodge and the collector who bought it at the recent Gooding auction in Scottsdale.
* While we're on the topic of coachbuilt cars, Dieselpunk this week posted a few photos of a very bizarre Spohn-bodied Maybach.
* Finally, Modern Mechanix this week scanned and posted an article from the October 1949 issue of Mechanix Illustrated on the destruction of Duke Nalon's Novi Mobil Special in the 1949 Indy 500.
Four-Links – Pinto Air Freight Crosley resto under way, Camille Jenatzy, Kellison brochure, Pete Hagenbuch
* Frank Pinto has been picking away at the restoration of the Pinto Air Freight Crosley mini-rig over the last year or so and recently started a website to document the restoration.
* You may have heard of Camille Jenatzy: At the helm of his La Jamais Contente electric-powered automobile, he set the world land speed record in 1899 and became the first man to break the 60 MPH barrier. He also had a prolific racing career and died under quite unusual circumstances, as we see from Howard Kroplick's profile on Jenatzy on The Vanderbilt Cup Races blog.
* One of the more aggressive-looking fiberglass-bodied cars was the Kellison, and Geoff Hacker over at Forgotten Fiberglass this week treated us to scans of a Kellison brochure for the J-3 and J-4 from the late 1950s.
* Sad news came to us this week from Allpar, which reported the death of Pete Hagenbuch, a Chrysler engineer, who worked on the 426 Hemi, the B/RB-series big-block V-8s, the LA-series small-block V-8s and the Australian Hemi six-cylinder, and built slot cars – from scratch – in his off time.
* Finally, another automaker employee's personal project, this one the Saab Facett, which Saab designer Sigvard Sorenson built from one of the six Sonett 1s. IEDEI has the story.
Four-Links – the size of the hobby, JPL Motorsports Club, Aloha Wanderwell, Thermos's productmobile
* Estimating the size of the collector car hobby is tricky, at best, but Philip Powell over at Marque1 this week pointed to an article that put the total global size of the hobby at 10 million people, who annually spend $50 billion on goods and services in the hobby.
* Ol' Man Foster, the Crosleykook, recently came across the above photo of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Motorsports Club on NASA's website. While we thought it might make for a good street scene image, we're intrigued by the fact that the JPL had such a club. Does it still exist?
* Jesse over at justacarguy this week posted some photos and videos of Aloha Wanderwell's 1922 round-the-world trip.
* Howard Kroplick over at The Vanderbilt Cup Races blog this week put together a good amount of information on the Thermos productmobile that was photographed at the 1909 Vanderbilt Cup race. Where is it now?
* Finally, while we're on the topic of unusual one-offs, James Long told us, through our Facebook site, about the custom Jeep he recently found. According to James, Charlie Litton built it in about 1956 to provide backup power for (and presumably transportation to) a mountain cabin. Oh, and Charlie would also use it to provide a jumpstart for his helicopter.
Ask a Hemmings Editor: Did Carroll Shelby buy the Cobra name and logo from Crosley for $1?
Crosley folks are proud of the fact that their favorite little car was responsible for so many ahead-of-their-time advances. Overhead camshafts in a production engine in 1946. Disc brakes in 1949. The use of the Super Sport name well before Chevrolet. And then there's the use of the Cobra name. It predated Shelby's use of the name on his British-American hybrid by more than 15 years, but did the Crosley CoBra directly influence Shelby to call his car the Cobra?
That's what Dave Anspach, the president of the Crosley American Club would like to know. Specifically, he asked us if there's any truth to the urban legend among Crosley enthusiasts that Shelby bought the rights to the Cobra name from Crosley for $1. "Since Carroll was in racing in the early '50s and given the Crosley engine's success in numerous venues, it is inconceivable that he had never heard of the CoBra engine," Anspach wrote. "Also, by the time Mr. Shelby went into business, he was, as I recall, a pretty well financed operation. I am sure that any corporate lawyer would have recommended to contact the vestiges of a company that was out of the car business less than the 10-year, 6-month limit of trademark protection."
Indeed, Carroll Shelby began his racing career in an MG-based special in 1952, right about the same time Crosley was throwing in the towel on the car business. Crosley-engined specials, however, remained in competition for several years afterward, so it's possible that Shelby would have gridded alongside those cars early on in his career. On the other hand, those Crosley-engined specials would most likely have not run the CoBra engine.
innovative overhead-camshaft four-cylinder water-cooled engine originally designed by Lloyd M. Taylor during the war to run generators. Built up from about 125 sheet steel stampings, all copper-brazed in a special furnace, the engine weighed just 14 pounds; in fighting trim, it weighed 59 pounds and put out 26.5 horsepower. Crosley, who was developing his own products for the war effort, learned of the engine and eventually licensed it.When Crosley re-entered the auto market in 1946, he did so with an
As a generator engine, it worked well. As an automobile engine, the CoBra had its issues. First, it was designed to run at a static speed, not at varying speeds, as demanded in automobile use. Second, it was prone to rust in the water jackets when used with regular water and antifreeze, and prone to damage from overheating; this wasn't a problem with military mechanics trained to prevent these issues, but became a problem once the engine made it into the general public. By 1949, these issues became large enough for Crosley to redesign the engine in cast iron, replacing the CoBra with the CIBA (Cast-Iron Block Assembly), which would more reliably power Crosleys through the end of production. The CIBA also took to modifications well, leading many to use it in H-Modified racing.
Shelby, meanwhile, became famous as a racer, retired due to health problems, and began casting around for a sports car project he could put his name on. According to Shelby's own account in The Cobra Story, after lining up a body and chassis from AC and small-block V-8 engines from Ford, "a strange thing happened. One night I had a dream in which I saw the name 'Cobra' on the front of the new car. I woke up and jotted the name down on a pad which I kept by my bedside… Next morning, when I looked at the name 'Cobra,' I knew it was right."
Inspiration is difficult to prove or disprove, and while many Cobra enthusiasts repeat the appeared-in-a-dream story without question, others dismiss it as typical Shelby salesmanship snake oil. What followed has some bearing on our question, however. Shelby continues: "We ran into an unexpected problem while getting the paperwork ready to apply for a copyright… It suddenly turned up that, years before, Crosley had built an engine which they had called a 'Cobra,' … Fortunately, however, it had passed through nine different companies with the engine, rights, and patents, etc., changing hands each time, and not one of those nine successive firms had ever used the name 'Cobra.' It therefore turned out that the name Cobra no longer could be considered a valid trade name insofar as Crosley was concerned, and we were able to copyright it." Other accounts relate that Ford had its legal department research the issue and give the go-ahead to use the name.
Several other companies did indeed own the rights to the Crosley engine after 1952. General Tire bought the rights in 1952, followed by Fageol in 1955, Crofton in 1959, Homelite in 1961, and Fisher Pierce in 1966. Whether those rights included the CoBra name isn't known, but none of the companies ended up using it.
We'll pause for a moment to distinguish between copyright and trademark. According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, "a trademark is a word, phrase, symbol or design, or a combination thereof, that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others," while "a copyright protects works of authorship, such as writings, music, and works of art that have been tangibly expressed." So we're dealing with a trademark here, not a copyright. In the United States, trademark law is covered by the Lanham Act of 1946, which limits trademark terms to 10 years (renewable) and requires that the trademark stay in use to remain valid.
Presuming Crosley trademarked the CoBra name in 1946 and never renewed the trademark (or even had the company renewed the trademark as late as 1949 – the latest it would have used the CoBra name and thus been able to trademark it), Shelby would have certainly been in the clear to call his car the Cobra by 1962, no dollar necessary.
Even had it been necessary to buy the rights to use the Cobra name, who would Shelby have paid? Crosley Motors was a separate entity from the Crosley Corporation (the company that produced radios and Shelvador refrigerators), the latter of which was sold to AVCO (the same company that E.L. Cord once owned) in 1945 and shut down in 1956. As stated before, Homelite didn't appear to have the rights to the name. That leaves Powel Crosley, who died of a heart attack in March 1961.
Which brings up a related question: Carroll Shelby was very familiar with the auto industry at the time, and the passing of Powel Crosley would not have escaped his attention. Was it Powel Crosley's death that led Shelby to recall the CoBra name and several months later apply it to his sports car? Only one man knows for sure, and nowadays he's more concerned with plastering that name on every bit of merchandise possible than with further explaining the origins of the name.
Four-Links – Brown Dog Welding, Crosley fire truck returned to park, Victor Wouk and the hybrid car, RC UAZ
* As with Bomonster, we've been enjoying the metal sculptures of Josh of Brown Dog Welding over on the H.A.M.B.'s Friday Art Show for some time now, so we thoroughly enjoyed the interview he gave to the Rusty Knuckles blog recently.

* Thanks to Keith on the Crosley Gang mailing list for forwarding this story along: The Crosley fire truck that once ferried kids around Kiddieland at Eldridge Park in Elmira, New York, has been restored and returned to the park, though now as part of a permanent display.
* Based on the story of Victor Wouk and EPA bureaucrat Eric Stork related over at Cars In Depth this week, the history of hybrid gasoline-electric cars could have taken a radically different course were it not for one giant ego from an unexpected player.
* Following up on our mention of radio-control off-road trucks a couple weeks ago, we'll point to this post over at Hooniverse of an incredible scratchbuilt radio-control UAZ 469B built by an enthusiast in Italy.
* And finally, David Greenlees over at The Old Motor took some time out from posting excellent photos of old cars to detail how he machines flywheels for some of the cars he restores, allowing them to use electric starters.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1951 Crosley Super Sports
Crosleys were more than just funky little economy cars – plenty of people took them racing in the 1950s as well, and a good portion of the SCCA H-Modified classes were comprised of surprisingly quick Hot Shots and Super Sports and miscellaneous Crosley-based specials. Inevitably, those racers took some inspiration from the Ferraris and other sports cars sharing the track, and at least a few ended up with modifications such as those seen on this 1951 Crosley Super Sports for sale on Hemmings.com. From the seller's description:
This car was modified in the 50s to look like a small Ferrari. Sale includes many extra parts: engines, a Fiat Topolino transmission, adapter plate, wire wheels need adaptors, dual carbs, aluminum pan, valve cover, racing pistons, extra bearings, car is running but needs restoring.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1950 Crosley Hot Shot
Once you've mastered the arts of double clutching and of explaining over and over again what it is, Crosley Hot Shots can be a blast, and they're guaranteed to attract more attention than most other cars at your neighborhood cruise night. This 1950 Crosley Hot Shot for sale on Hemmings.com looks like it would clean up nicely and require only a few minor repairs. From the seller's description:
1950 Crosley Hot Shot roadster,as retrieved from lengthy storage. It is all original, super solid and runs great, but would benefit from a little TLC. When is the last time you saw one?

One-owner Shelby Cobra highlights this weekend's The Branson Auction
Photos courtesy The Branson Auction
It's one thing to hold on to any car for 47 years without selling it. It's another entirely to keep a Shelby Cobra for that long while waves of replicas flooded the streets and then prices for original CSX-numbered cars shoot through the roof. Yet that's what one Kansas doctor did, and it's only with his passing that his Cobra will appear at The Branson Auction this weekend in Branson, Missouri.
Ed Johnson bought a Shelby 289 Cobra, CSX2305, at Broadway Ford in Kansas City in 1964 and never let it go. The Johnson County, Kansas, Medical Examiner, Ed Johnson raced, autocrossed and later toured in the Cobra, which will be auctioned including trophies, documents, books, badges and clippings associated with the car. Auction host Jim Cox told us that Johnson was probably a better autocrosser than racer, but he earned trophies in both disciplines.
While the Branson Auction does not normally share estimates for their lots, Cox believes that Doc Johnson's Cobra should fetch between $450,000 and $600,000, believing it is in "better condition than other 289 Cobras sold the past six to nine months."
It's certainly not every day that a one-owner Cobra pops up for sale. And short of Carroll Shelby's personal cars, this might have been the second-longest held one-owner Cobra, after the one owned by jazz great Herbie Hancock, who used his 260 Cobra as a daily driver from 1963 through 1990.
Another intriguing car to be offered at the annual southwestern Missouri auction is a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, which the auction house bills as one of three numbers-matching Hemi four-speed Daytonas. Considering that those four words in the same auction sentence – Hemi, four-speed, and Daytona – usually cause bidders to get all worked up, this lot promises to draw a lot of attention.
Along with that one-of-three-with-matching-numbers provenance, this car is also claimed to be the most optioned in existence with power windows, power steering, tinted windows, the A34 Super Trac-Pac (which included the super low 4.10 Dana 60 rear differential) and even an 8-track player, among other options.
Branson Auction will send another 1969 Hemi car across the block. This matching-numbers 1969 Plymouth GTX is not only one of 98 four-speed Hemi models, it also has a very interesting race history – and not the typical drag strip kind. Roger Jensen set a class record in the car at 195.86 MPH on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Restored in the early 1990s to its original condition, the GTX was recently removed from a museum in California.
Just 59 Hemi Road Runners were produced in 1971 and two are being auctioned at Branson this weekend. One is a numbers matching automatic car that also includes all of its original documentation: the window sticker, original broadcast, purchase contract, warranty papers and even a full ownership history back the original dealership. The auction catalog lists it as the first 1971 Hemi Road Runner produced.
Although not numbers matching, the other 1971 Hemi Road Runner features a correct four-speed transmission and 426 Hemi as it had been delivered from the factory. Its 24,000 miles showing on the odometer are also believed to be correct.
For fans of pre-war muscle, little can top this over-the-top 1931 Marmon Sixteen. Featuring a whopping 491-cubic-inch V-16, this close-coupled sedan is one of 68 known survivors according to the auction house. Featuring a design by Walter Dorwin Teague, Jr, then an MIT student moonlighting for his father's renowned industrial design studio, the body was manufactured by LeBaron.
If you'd like something a little more obscure, Branson Auctions will have a Peerless GT, the fiberglass-bodied British 2 + 2 built largely around Triumph mechanicals.
For Crosley fans – we know you're out there – how about a 21-passenger Crosley? Okay, that includes the driver and 20 kids on this hook and ladder "fire truck." Originally built as an amusement park ride from a converted Crosley truck, this one has been restored.
And, finally, a car that lives up to its Branson offering: a 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk once owned by Conway Twitty.

I like this jacket for its unique design. I would've preferred a bit more of a tailored waist but I may move the insde button a little to help with that. It fits just fine as is anyway and I like the buttons. They make a subtle statement without too much flash and they feel great to do/undo. I also like the olive colour and it looks great with my skin complection with olive undertones. If you see one, get yourself one :)

Liverpool's search to replace John Arne Riise looks to have stepped up a gear or two if reports in Italy are to be believed.
Claims by Italian newspaper Tuttosport are that The Reds have beaten off Juventus for the signature of highly-rated Udinese fullback Andrea Dossena.
Reports from some websites suggest his agent Federico Pastorello has spent the past few days in England negotiating terms for the 26-year-old, who recently won his first cap for Italy.
Liverpool may have to pay up to £8m for the young Italian left back who began his career at Hellas Verona F.C. as a youth player before playing four seasons in their senior squad.

Urban story: Lisbon is on a par with Honolulu
Among 25 of the world's most important cities are visualised here. Each metropolis has been grouped vertically by 5 main temperature zones according to their latitude; and ordered horizontally according to their longitude. Each city identity is visually represented in a multiform polygon correlating to its size in sq m, number of inhabitants, number of tourists per year, height of the tallest building, and the average price of property according to real estate parameters (square metres). Further information is provided for each city "id-card": age of the city, average temperature and rainfall.
We discover that latitude and longitude parameters not only determine environmental factors but also several urban characteristics. Surprisingly Lisbon and Honolulu have a lot in common!

Ned and Amey. We live in Rockford, Mi. We bought the cottage 6 years ago We come up whenever we can. Love it here on the lake.
Rhett Lloyd purchased this cottage in 2003
Ned grew up here as a child.
The cottage is set close to the water. Kids love the sandy beach and swimming area.
The South Arm of Lake Charlevoix is great for boating, because it is usually calmer than the rest of the lake.
Swimming, waterskiing, fishing, hiking, biking Boating Sunbathing Canoeing Tubing.
Took advantage of the lake everyday, ate great food in downtown Charlevoix relaxed.... the perfect week! Cottage was great we loved our stay here very much! We look forward to staying here again next year, So relaxing! Don't want to leave Thank you for sharing your home with us
Beautiful little cottage on gorgeous beachfront property....well stocked with the essentials and spotlessly clean. We absolutely loved our week there and plan on a return visit next year.
The house was very nice just as many of the other reviews indicated. The kitchen was well appointed w/paper products included. The bedrooms are tight but it is not as though you are in them very much. The deck is shaded which is nice when you are spending all your time in the sun at the beach level. The beach was really great, the kids and our lab could walk out quite a distance without hitting deep water and it was sandy w/minimal muck and/or rocks. We rented kayaks and a paddle board and they were perfect for mornings on the lake. We also rented a jet ski from a local marina and that was fun.
A few complaints...there is no air-conditioning in the house and we had the misfortune of being there during the hottest week of the year- temps inside reached 100 and it was literally unbearable. We ended up going home a few days early, so bring your box fans from home for sure. Second concern is the long, narrow drive that leads to the cottage...it is a bit over grown and left scratches down the side and on the roof of our truck. This really needs to be trimmed back. Lastly, there is an expectation that you will clean the unit before you leave (not just pick up, but really clean and wash etc). I have rented through VRBO several times for other properties and the cleaning fee has always been included, this was an additional fee. The washing machine is a stackable unit making washing bedding a major task. It also made me question how clean the place really was when we arrived as it was likely to have been done by the previous renter, to me this is not a plan and there should be a professional cleaning service as part of the deal, especially at the rate we paid for the week.
Overall, it was a decent place to stay- you just need to understand the limitations and decide of the draw of Lake Charlevoix makes it worth it.
We had a wonderful time. The cottage was clean, fresh, and well equipped (especially the kitchen). The beds were very comfortable. This side of the lake is calmer for smaller boats, on the other arm, when we rented a place there, we often could not go out because of big waves. The deck is beautiful and we enjoyed our meals outside. The wireless internet was appreciated as both couples brought laptops. The beach is great for sunbathing and there is a Glen's in East Jordan for groceries. Side trips to Charlevoix, Boyne City and Petoskey were great! Thanks for your hospitality!

A Niantic man who suffered from a skull fracture, bleeding in his brain, contusions and hematomas on both sides of his skull remains hospitalized three weeks after police said he was punched on the left side of his head.
Richard "Matt" Staub, 27, was placed on life support following a Jan. 28 assault outside Rose's Cantina on Route 12 in Groton, according to an arrest warrant for the man police say inflicted the injuries. He remains at Yale-New Haven Hospital but has since been moved out of the Intensive Care Unit and into "a step down program," according to the warrant.
On Tuesday, Groton Town police arrested Benjamin P. Perry, 25, of 41 Miner Ave., Waterford, in connection with the incident and charged him with first-degree assault. Perry was held in lieu of a $25,000 bond and was arraigned Tuesday in New London Superior Court. He is next scheduled to appear in court on March 12 and is to have no contact with Staub.
On the evening of Jan. 28, Staub, Perry and Eric Mathews arrived at Rose's Cantina following earlier visits that night to Mohegan Sun and the Gold Club, according to the arrest warrant.
Rose's Cantina night manager Stephen Emerich told police that the three men were the only patrons in the bar and that they appeared to be inebriated after one drink each. Around 12:35 a.m., they asked Emerich to call them a cab.
Emerich told police that he was in the back of the bar for less than five minutes before bartender Christie Woodhall began screaming for him. Perry was banging on the door saying Staub had fallen and was unconscious, according to the warrant.
Shortly before 1 a.m., police found Staub in the grassy area outside the bar, unconscious and bleeding from the back of his head and ears.
In an interview with Groton police on Feb. 2, Perry said he and Staub had been using cocaine and drinking in excess that night, according to the warrant. Perry said he was sitting on a bench outside Rose's when Staub "came up to him and hit him in his face."
Perry told police that he then stood up and hit Staub back in the face. Staub fell to the ground, he said. Perry noticed that Staub was bleeding from the ear and ran to bang on the door.
After Staub was taken to the hospital, Mathews and Perry took a cab to a Motel 6 in Niantic, where Perry called his sister, Cherisse Skotnicki, at 1:27 a.m. She drove from Canterbury to the motel, where Perry told her Staub "had been hurt pretty bad."
Friends and family have organized a fundraiser for Staub on March 2 at East Lyme Middle School. For more information, contact email@example.com.

LEXINGTON — In his first four seasons at Kentucky, John Calipari has had a handful of big men like 6-11 DeMarcus Cousins, 6-10 Daniel Orton, 6-11 Enes Kanter (even though he didn't play), 6-10 Anthony Davis and 6-10 Nerlens Noel.
Because of their big size, some casual fans may have thought these guys played the center position, but they actually were classified as forwards.
And current sophomore Willie Cauley-Stein is 7-0 and he is not a true center, either.
So it means the UK coach actually did not have a true center on the playing roster until this season, his fifth at Kentucky.
That center is 7-0, 265-pound Dakari Johnson, a freshman from Brooklyn, N.Y., who once lived in Lexington several years ago.
A pre-season second-team All-SEC choice by the media, Johnson has been a valuable contributor for the Wildcats this season, averaging 9.9 minutes and 3.9 points entering Tuesday night's matchup with Texas A&M at Rupp Arena.
In last Saturday's 74-66 victory against Tennessee, Johnson gave his team a healthy boost when he came off the bench and played 16 minutes, his second-highest total this season. He had four points and four rebounds.
"Willie (Cauley-Stein) didn't play as well as he'd been playing, and we went with Dakari and he was terrific," said Calipari.
Johnson and his teammates had to defend UT star Jarnell Stokes, who scored a team-high 20 points and grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds. With his 6-8, 260-pound frame, Stokes was plenty tough for the Wildcats to handle.
"He is really strong," Johnson said of the Vol junior. "He gets low to the ground. I get higher than he does, and I was trying to play physical with him."
Sitting on the bench is not easy for Johnson, a McDonald's All-American who was rated as the No. 11 overall high school player by ESPN and the top player at his position.
"Yeah, it is tough," he told a throng of reporters Saturday. "But my mom told me to listen to the coaches and get better. I have been trying to do everything exactly as I'm supposed to do it.
"I'm happy for my teammates when they were playing well. I just waited my turn. It starts in practice and has carried over to the games."
While Johnson — who would have been a starter for most college basketball programs — rebounds very well, he is still learning and working to improve his game such as conditioning, free throw shooting and shot-blocking.
Like several of his teammates, including big men Cauley-Stein and Marcus Lee, Johnson is struggling at the charity stripe, hitting only 15 of 31 free throws for 48.4 percent this winter.
Former UK star Mike Pratt, who is in his 13th year as analyst on the UK Radio Network, likes Johnson's potential as a physical force.
"(He) seems to be a very hard worker," Pratt said Sunday. "He has good hands, catches (the ball) in a crowd and uses good footwork after he receives a pass."
With Calipari basically using a six-man playing rotation with all six averaging at least 19 minutes, it isn't easy to find a lot of playing time for the benchwarmers like Johnson.
Playing the seventh-most minutes for Kentucky is freshman guard Dominique Hawkins who has logged 208 minutes with an average of 12.2 going into this week's action.
And Johnson is next with 159 minutes with a 9.9-minute average. Pratt is also pleased that Johnson "has shown that he will compete and hasn't been discouraged by lack of playing time early this year. He has worked hard to lose some weight and should muscle up in coming years."
Not surprisingly, Johnson has several tall relatives in the family, including his parents. His mother is 6-5, while his dad is 6-10 and both played college basketball.
The big men often have the tendency to develop at a slower rate on the collegiate level, according to Calipari.
Many folks have also wondered about Calipari's regular rotation which limits playing opportunities for most of the players sitting on the bench.
Calipari explained, "It's harder when you've got a young team to play more guys because you're trying to get your team right."
UK's mentor said Saturday that he has gotten letters from the fans who have suggested that he play more players.
Several years ago, when the Wildcat mentor had concerns about his squad, he decided to contact the legendary coach who captured 10 national titles while at UCLA and get a valuable advice from the Wizard of Westwood.
"In 2010 when I called Coach (John) Wooden about my team, he told me I play too many guys," said Calipari. "(So) you need to play six or seven, maybe eight max if somebody is in foul trouble."
On Johnson, Calipari commented, "He was behind Willie; how well was Willie playing? Not a whole lot of minutes there. Now Willie is not playing as well, now you go do your minutes and prove you should play more. Own your performance. And he did. I'm proud of him."
Earlier in the season, Johnson hit 10 points and snatched seven rebounds in Kentucky's victory over Eastern Michigan. The communications major also recorded eight points and eight rebounds in UK's win over UT Arlington.
A projected second-round pick in a recent 2014 NBA mock draft, Johnson has a bright future and is expected to stay at UK for another year or two, helping the Wildcats continue their winning ways with his physical force.
Jamie H. Vaught, a longtime sports columnist in Kentucky, is the author of four books about UK basketball. He is currently a professor at Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College in Middlesboro and can be reached by e-mail at email@example.com.

How silly to write a review for a recipe without even trying it--hardly counts as a review if all you managed to do is read the recipe! Baking from scratch is not that hard (this is not a difficult recipe, really, if you're familiar with basic baking techniques) and this cake is delicious. A nice light change of pace, great for spring and summer meals.
I followed the recipe exactly but it just didn't turn out. The cake was dry and heavy, the filling was crunchy and hard, and the frosting never thickened. It took me all day and it was very disappointing for the amount of time it took.

First of all, in order to make the orange striped layers in the photo, you would have to cut each cake in two and maybe double the recipe for the middle citrus filling (little more runny than expected). Secondly, I thought the cake would be a little more coconutty and light, but the coconut was more for extra flavor and texture and the cake was a heavier and more crumbly than I thought it would be.
The frosting recipe I had to change as I didn't have almond extract (which I'm sure would have tasted better), so I used vanilla extract. The result was kind of like what I would imagine marshmallow fluff to be like, except more buoyant and light. Delightful! Making it was a bit difficult since I didn't have a candy thermometer--but I let it simmer for a couple minutes after it seemed to clear up after boiling (the test didn't work out so much for me--perhaps the water wasn't cold enough or the sample was too hot). Apparently I did it all right since I really liked the frosting texture (yielded quite a lot even though only one egg white was used--brilliant!).
Since it wasn't what I imagined the cake to be, I give the recipe **** but it was a lot of fun to make and my sister LOVED it and craved it for about a week after we first made and finished it.
Great flavors indeed, although a bit on the sweet side. I'd cut back the sugar in the cake and/or the citrus filling, or else I would have it with a nice summery drink or a cold glass of milk!
I made this cake for Mother's Day. Everyone loved it. I chose this recipe because it uses egg whites rather than whole eggs, and it seemd like it would be less calories. I thought there was a lot of sugar, so I reduced the sugar in the cake by 1/4 cup. The cake tasted great! The filling and the frosting worked up quickly even though the recipe sounds involved. I would definetley make it again.
This was incredible. Going by other reviews that said the cake was dry, I decreased the flour - and the cake was so moist that I couldn't get it out of the pan. There's not enough liquid in the filling, which would make it "crunchy", so I added about 1 Tbsp of water. I also didn't have anything orange on hand except extract, so I used 1/2 tsp of that and water to make 1 Tbsp. I didn't let the frosting cool enough so it was runny when I put it on the cake, but it did thicken up nicely. If it's not thick enough, keep beating it - it'll get there. This is appropriately named; it tastes like a little piece of heaven.
Maybe I didn't do something right but this recipe did not turn out for me at all. The cake did the best and it was dry. The filling tasted like orange rind but super sweet. The icing never thickened up for me. I had to throw the whole thing out.
I didn't put this cake together exactly as written due to personal preferences. The cake part I made almost exactly as directed, besides reducing the sugar to 1 cup. It came out moist and fairly light. I doubled the filling, reduced the sugar and used a combo of lemon and lime juice and zest as I'm not partial to orange flavoured desserts. I put half of the filling between the cakes and the rest on top. I poked the cake tops with a fork so that the filling flavour could penetrate the cake better. I skipped the icing altogether. The cake has a wonderfully light fresh taste. I'll make it like this again, maybe serving it with whipped cream. The cake is a great way to use up egg whites, and I'll use it again and try icing it with chocolate icing or something a little richer instead of the citrus/coconut filling.
Excellent flavors in this cake. I had a hard time making the frosting. Mine didn't turn out good. It was my first time using corn syrup.
And I messed up the filling. Mine was too runny. But I really loved the flaors and will definately try it again.

Canon MG 6150 printer problems
Likes # 0
Posted April 12, 2012 at 8:19PM
I purchased a Canon MG 6150 printer because of the good reviews it was receiving. It prints beautiful colour images but of particular interest was its ability to print good black and white images. Unfortunately this has not been as good with this printer as was hoped for. Viewed under tungsten light all black and white prints exhibit a noticeable magenta cast. This goes away to some extent under daylight. Returning the printer to a Canon service centre did not resolve the problem despite them changing some components. This problem also shows up when using the SD card slot so IMHO is not due to a lack of calibration between the monitor and the printer. Anyone got any ideas as to what the problem could be. BTW I am using Canon inks and papers.

I would have thought that normal printer setup should have given the result you expect. However it may be something to do with the printer options. Look in 'Control Panel/Devices & Printers' and double click your printer then select 'Adjust print options'. In the new panel select 'Paper/Quality' and under 'Color' select 'Black & White'. Click 'Apply' and 'OK'. Try a monochrome print with this setting. If it works then it is in the software setup if not it is very likely the printer.
If the above does fail, you can go back to 'Paper/Quality' and select the 'Advanced' button. in the list find 'ICM Method' and in the panel next to it select 'Handled by Printer'. Save this setting and try printing again; if it fails this time I would definitely suggest the printer or driver is at fault.

"Fantastic holiday"
We found this villa last minute. The pool is fab and the gardens are beautiful. Villa is traditional style and was really clean. The location was beautiful but remote. Totally private. Car is necessary and a 20 min drive to nearest town. Service from the staff was excellent. Would recommend this villa to anyone.

"Beautiful,peaceful but slightly remote."
The villa is quite beautiful, decorated in a traditional Turkish style, with all the mod cons you need for a stay. We would definateley recommend a car as it is quite remote, the nearest little shops being a nice 10-15 mins stroll.... Through olive groves as I recall ( we stayed in 2010) the pool is fantastic and the family that came in to clean and do the pool service daily were lovely and very helpful. This villa is a welcome stay if you want total privacy and solitude

I've just come back from having a sneaky driving lesson from my Dad!!
There is loads of roads around the factory he works in that are closed at weekends because no-one is working weekends. He is just going to take me once a weekend to supplement my driving lessons. Today he just taught me how to use the clutch because I start driving lessons soon and it was so much fun!
I couldn't get it the 1st try, I revved way too much, but the 2nd time I tried I got it!!! I drove up and down a few times (although dad had to get out and turn the car around because I don't know how to do that yet LOL) and learnt how to break (Although the first time I slammed on too quickly and it was lucky dad was wearing a seatbelt LOL)
I am on a high!!

Limelight Networks Exceeds Two Terabit Per Second Global Capacity, Marks Beginning of 'Broadcast Quantity' CDN Era
TEMPE, Ariz., Oct. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Limelight Networks, Inc. today marked the beginning of the 'broadcast quantity' era for content delivery networks with the announcement that the company's global content delivery capacity has exceeded two terabits per second (Tbps).
The announcement was made at the Digital Media Innovation Forum, 15-17 October, Phoenix, AZ.
Two terabits per second is roughly the raw capacity required to deliver content to the equivalent of four Nielsen ratings points of audience.* Even taking network overhead into account, this milestone means Limelight's capacity could support delivering broadcast-quality content to over two million simultaneous Internet users.
A 'broadcast quantity' CDN meets the challenge of maintaining high- fidelity for every piece of content delivered, even as the audience that could potentially view that content grows significantly. Recently, comScore reported that more than 142 million U.S. Internet users watched 11.4 billion videos for a total duration of 558 million hours during July 2008,** and 27.4 million U.K. Internet users watched 3.2 billion videos for an average of 117.7 videos per viewer during June 2008.***
"As global traffic and audience numbers continue to grow, the challenge for delivery networks has changed from delivering a single piece of content to an audience of millions, to simultaneously delivering a million different pieces of content to a million different viewers. Viewers' expectations are defined by their experience from broadcast TV, so delivery networks are being called on to deliver ever higher levels of visual fidelity. These services are more engaging for viewers, and this in turn helps monetize the content," said Jim Davis, senior analyst, Tier 1 Research.
Limelight Networks' unique approach to maximizing the delivery of content is to store a publisher's entire content library logically close to the end user, so content is delivered without traversing the congested public Internet. This is accomplished by directly connecting over eight petabytes of storage to over 900 last mile access networks, through a fiber-optical connection maintained by the company. The end result is a brilliant user experience for every element of content delivered.
"This milestone of two terabits per second of network capacity represents the beginning of a new era in the content delivery industry. While Limelight Networks' architecture has always ensured a broadcast quality experience, today's milestone demonstrates that we can deliver broadcast quantity entertainment — thousands of programs to global Internet audiences that are measurable in Nielson ratings points," said Nathan Raciborski, chief technical officer, Limelight Networks. "As more viewers use the web as a primary entertainment vehicle, we will continue to scale and expand our architecture to ensure these broadcast quantity audiences receive engaging, high-quality experiences."
For over seven years, the Limelight Networks content delivery service has powered some of the largest and most complex events in the history of the Internet. From supporting hundreds of thousands of simultaneous users for Oprah's online book club, to delivering over 70 million video streams for NBCOlympics.com on MSN, to enabling interactive content and game downloads for each of the three major gaming console manufacturers, Limelight has consistently delivered content in the brilliance the publisher intended it to be seen.
About Limelight Networks, Inc.
Limelight Networks, Inc. is a content delivery partner enabling the next wave of Internet business and entertainment. More than 1300 Internet, entertainment, software, and technology brands trust our robust, scalable platform to monetize their digital assets by delivering a brilliant online experience to their global audience. Our architecture bypasses the busy public Internet using a dedicated optical network that interconnects thousands of servers and delivers massive files at the speed of light — directly to the access networks that consumers use every day. Our proven network and passion for service provides our customers confidence that every object in their library will be delivered to every user, every time.
