The 1972 Dodge Charger: Muscle car or family car?

In 1972, Dodge cut the number of Charger models in its product line from the six offered in 1971 to three. While Rallye-trim Chargers could still be ordered with the 330-horsepower, 440-cu.in. "Six-Pack" V-8 (at least theoretically), Dodge knew the days of the muscle car were limited, and it began to seek new a new type of customer. As this ad shows, one marketing direction was to pitch the 1972 Charger as a sensible and economical family car, but one with a sense of style.
Equipped with the "proven economy run winner" 318-cu.in V-8, the 1972 Charger would have produced 150 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, and carried a base sticker price of $2,759, including such amenities as dual-speed wipers, a cigarette lighter, roof drip rails, wheel well moldings, and dual range horns. Those seeking even more frugality could opt for the 225-cu.in. slant-six engine, which produced less horsepower but lowered the base price by just over $100.
As it turned out, the 440 Six-Pack V-8 would not pass new federal emission standards in 1972, and only a handful were built in this configuration. The 440 Magnum V-8, which produced a still-respectable 280-horsepower, became the enthusiast engine of choice, but the glory days of performance Chargers were now in the past.
Despite the condensing of the product line (and the subsequent reduction in horsepower), Dodge managed to sell a total of 75,594 Chargers in 1972, compared to 82,114 in 1971. Model sales increased again for 1973 (to 119,318 units), so clearly the Charger's change in direction was embraced by the buying public.
Tim Wellborn to auction off half of Wellborn Musclecar Museum collection

A lot can happen in 10 years. When muscle car collector and museum founder Tim Wellborn spoke with Hemmings Muscle Machines for a profile on him in 2005, he said he'd owned many of his cars for decades and didn't much care about their values because he wasn't interested in selling them. These days, though, he's probably a little more concerned with what they're worth, given that he recently committed about half of his collection to auction.
"I've really always considered myself just the caretaker of these cars, and now it's time to let someone else take on that role," Wellborn said in a press release announcing the sale. "It's tough to let go, but… it's just time."
As Wellborn told the story, his passion for muscle cars began when his father ordered a 440-powered Butterscotch 1971 Dodge Charger new, and though Wellborn wasn't yet old enough to drive the car, he pestered the dealer for the car's delivery date over the next few months and washed and waxed it often once it arrived. Unsurprisingly, once he grew old enough to start purchasing muscle cars of his own, he gravitated to the 1971 Dodge Charger and has since assembled a collection of muscle cars that largely focuses on that year, make, and model, with examples in just about every color, drivetrain combination, and trim level available.
While Welborn packed a couple of garages on his property with his cars – including a custom-built structure patterned after the English carriage houses he saw in England while visiting the country with his Bobby Isaac 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona – he also bought a former Chevrolet dealership in his hometown of Alexander City, Alabama, to house the Wellborn Musclecar Museum. Since opening the museum in 2010, Wellborn has hosted a number of events there, including a 40th anniversary celebration for the 1971 Dodge Charger and an all-muscle invitational show. According to a recent post on the museum's website, the 45th Aero Warriors Reunion, which was scheduled to take place at the museum, has been postponed due to Wellborn's health.

According to Mecum's announcement of the sale, this doesn't mean the end of the Wellborn Musclecar Museum. "The goal here is really to make room to continue rotating the museum inventory," he said. "Space is limited, so we can't just keep adding to the current group of cars, and we want to keep the muscle car displays fresh."
Of the 23 vehicles consigned with Mecum for its Kissimmee auction next January, eight are 1971 Dodge Chargers or Super Bees, including serial number 00023, a pilot-line Hemi Charger; serial number 90774, which Wellborn believes to be the last Hemi Charger built (the owner of another 1971 Hemi Charger, serial number 92238, has also laid claim to having the last Hemi Charger built); a Hemi Super Bee that served as Motor Trend's test car; and serial number 02617, the Hemi Super Bee that Eldon Palmer drove to and from the 1971 Indianapolis 500.

Other vehicles from Wellborn's collection going up for sale include a 1978 Pontiac Firebird reportedly used in The Rockford Files; a pair of 1969 Dodge Daytonas, including a Hemi four-speed example and the only one with special-order paint (Omaha Orange); a Boss 429 Mustang; an unrestored and LS6-powered 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454; and an unrestored 1966 Ford N-500 flatbed truck used by Shelby American as a race car transporter and that sold at RM's Arizona sale in 2008 for $66,000.
Mecum's Kissimmee auction will take place January 16-25 at Osceola Heritage Park. For more information, visit Mecum.com.
UPDATE (26.January 2015): Of the 23 vehicles consigned, all but two sold over the weekend. The total take from the 21 was $4,228,000, with the 1969 Dodge Daytona with a Hemi and a four-speed topping the list at $900,000. Of the 1971 Chargers in the group, the top sale went to the last Hemi Charger built, which sold for $295,000. The 1966 Ford N-500 flatbed truck sold for $62,000.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1971 Dodge Charger R/T SE
In 1971, Chrysler only built 178 Charger R/T models with the 440-cu.in. "Six Pack" V-8, so finding one in any condition is a rare occurrence. Finding a pristine and numbers-matching 1971 Dodge Charger R/T with the 440 Six-Pack option, like this one for sale on Hemmings.com, is definitely worth noting. Though the 426-cu.in. "Street Hemi" still made the most power in the Dodge lineup that year, the 440 Six-Pack was no slouch, producing 385 horsepower courtesy of its triple Holley two-barrel carburetor setup. This particular example is described as "highly optioned," and includes such amenities as power windows, a "rim blow" horn, a six-way adjustable driver's seat, console shifter for the TorqueFlite automatic transmission and a dealer-added chin spoiler. From the seller's description:
This is a numbers matching car. The car is equipped with a 440+6 and 727 automatic transmission.
This is a highly optioned car, with a 150 mph speedometer, power windows, rim blow horn, 6 way adjustable driver's seat, AM/FM radio, interior hood release, center console, and a rear window defogger. The car also has hidden headlights, hood pins, dealer added chin spoiler, air grabber hood, half vinyl top, rally wheels, and a rear spoiler.
This has been my personal project since 2000. It has been in dry storage the entire time I have owned the car. There are no known issues with the car.

Lost Cars of the 1980s – Dodge Shelby Charger
1987 Dodge Shelby Charger. Photos by Greg Gjerdingen, unless otherwise noted.
Carroll Shelby is most often associated with high-horsepower, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports cars, but in the early 1980s the performance guru re-entered the production automotive arena with a series of front-wheel-drive cars built for sale through Dodge dealerships. The first to hit the streets, in mid-1983, was the Dodge Shelby Charger, a car that resurrected two iconic performance names and helped introduce a new breed of performance cars to the American consumer.
Based on the Dodge Omni, the Charger debuted as the Omni 024 for the 1981 model year. Though the coupe offered distinctive styling and a comfortable interior, it fit no one's definition of a performance car, though most would agree it was, at the time, the brand's sportiest offering. In 1982, perhaps seeking to emphasize this, Dodge brought back the Charger nameplate, applying it to the highest-output Omni 024 in the lineup. Equipped with a 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine rated at just 94 horsepower, it was a far cry from the legendary Chargers of the late 1960s.
Enter Carroll Shelby, who had some very clear design goals for a new-generation Charger that would also carry his family name. As Peter Grist quotes Shelby in Dodge Dynamite: 50 Years of Dodge Muscle Cars, "The main parameters were to have as good a handling FWD car as there is anywhere, that it be unique in appearance, and that it perform adequately." Given the Charger's modest starting point, it was clear that Shelby was hedging his bets by expecting just adequate performance from the front-wheel-drive coupe.
Starting with the Charger's 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine, the Chrysler Shelby California Development Center in Santa Fe Springs, California, bumped compression up to 9.6:1; added a slightly hotter camshaft; opened up the exhaust for better breathing; and retarded cam timing by four degrees to aid top-end performance. The net result was an increase in output to 107 horsepower and 127 pound-feet of torque, and with the aid of a close-ratio five-speed transmission, the Dodge Shelby Charger could run from 0-60 MPH in 9.0 seconds on the way to a top speed of 117 MPH. The quarter mile went by in 16.8 seconds, at a speed of 82 MPH.
To ensure that handling lived up to the Shelby name, the car received a quick-ratio (14:1) power steering system, 50-series Goodyear Eagle GT radials on lightweight aluminum wheels, vented front disc brakes and larger diameter rear drum brakes to promote cooling and combat brake fade on the track. The front suspension consisted of MacPherson struts and coil springs that were shorter and 30 percent stiffer than other Charger models, though the anti-roll bar remained the same thickness. In the rear, the Shelby variant made do with the regular Charger's "semi-independent suspension," which relied upon a beam axle, integral anti-roll bar, MacPherson struts and shorter coil springs that were 15 percent stiffer. Outside, the Dodge Shelby Charger wore a front air dam, side skirts, beefy C-pillar covers and a subtle rear lip spoiler, and came painted in either Santa Fe Blue with silver striping or Radiant Silver with blue striping. Inside, CS logos adorned the front seats, reminding driver and passenger that this was no ordinary econobox.

The Dodge Shelby Charger hit the streets in mid-1983, and first-year production totaled 8,251 units. Despite the car's elevated sticker price ($8,567 for the Shelby, versus $6,513 for the base Charger), the higher-performance Charger found immediate acceptance with buyers looking for something with a bit more show and go than Dodge had offered in recent years. Thinking that perhaps the lack of an automatic transmission option was hampering sales, Dodge offered the 1984 Shelby Charger with the buyer's choice of a five-speed manual transmission or a three-speed TorqueFlite transmission, but only 1,955 buyers signed up for the latter option (compared to the 5,597 who purchased the five-speed manual). With so few takers, the automatic transmission option was dropped after the 1984 model year, but a new livery, Garnet Red with silver striping, joined the mix in 1984.
For 1985, the Chrysler Shelby California Development Center significantly upped the car's performance with the addition of Chrysler/Bosch multi-point fuel injection and a Garrett AiResearch T3 turbocharger, pushing a maximum of 8 PSI of boost. Output jumped to 146 horsepower and 168 pound-feet of torque, which lowered the car's 0-60 MPH time to 7.8 seconds, while raising the top speed to 124 MPH. Quarter-mile times were quicker, too, and the Shelby Charger now completed the distance in 15.9 seconds at a speed of 85 MPH. Externally, the changes were marked by a "power bulge" in the hood, necessary to provide clearance for the turbocharger, while another new livery, Black with silver striping, was added to the lineup.
No significant changes were made to the Shelby Charger for the 1986 model year, except for the addition of a federally-mandated high-center brake light. In 1987, the decision was made to end Charger production, as Chrysler opted to focus on the sporty Dodge Daytona and Plymouth Laser front-drive coupes instead. To increase the car's appeal, each 1987 Shelby Charger came with the (previously optional) tinted glass sunroof and rear window louvers, and Dodge dealers were given a mere 1,011 units to sell.
1987 Shelby Charger GLH-S.
Chrysler actually produced 2,011 Shelby Chargers for 1987, but the final 1,000 units were purchased by Shelby American, which increased the car's performance (and hence, price) even further, releasing the Shelby Charger GLH-S through selected Dodge dealers. The intercooled Turbo II engine produced 175 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque, which dropped the Charger GLH-S's 0-60 MPH time to 6.95 seconds and lowered its quarter-mile time to 14.7 seconds at 94 MPH. Top speed was raised to 134 MPH, and the suspension was further improved by the addition of Koni adjustable struts. Outside, the rear-window louvers were dropped from GLH-S models, as were the silver stripes; as for paint, customers could get any color they wanted, as long as it was black.
The 1987 Shelby Charger GLH-S was, without a doubt, the highest performance car to carry the Charger name in the 1980s, but the price for this was an eye-opening $12,995. Not only was that $3,155 more expensive than the "regular" Dodge Shelby Charger (and $5,996 higher than a base Charger), it was more expensive than a base Ford Mustang GT ($11,835) and a base Chevrolet Camaro Z28 ($12,819).
Counting the 1,000 Shelby Charger GLH-S models, the total five-year production of Shelby Charger models reached 33,192 units. How many survive today is unknown, though it's likely that some GLH-S models were preserved by careful and reverent owners. As with other Chrysler and Shelby collaborations of the 1980s, the Shelby Charger should serve as a reminder that some front-drive economy cars of the 1980s are worth remembering.
Four-Links – Dodge Charger III, North Korea Model T road trip, Citroen shoe, Grico twin-engine Ford
* Low, sleek, chock full of advanced technology: the Dodge Charger III could have easily served as a prop for a futuristic sci-fi TV show or movie, but instead debuted as an idea car at the Chicago Motor Show in 1968. CarDesignNews has more on it and its post-show circuit fate.
* Over at Curbside Classic, Robert Kim shares the story of a road trip in a Ford Model T that took place in what is now North Korea in the 1920s.
* As Ronan Glon at Ran When Parked informed us this week, "basket" apparently means "sneaker" in French. Why do we care? Because of the limited edition Citroën 2CV Basket of the Seventies, a tin snail painted to look like a sneaker.
* Mac's Motor City Garage this week took a look at the Grico twin-engine Ford COE truck. Or, more accurately, the cab-over-one-engine-and-in-front-of-the-other trucks, one of a few different attempts at adding more power to heavy haulers of the day.
* Finally, Willis Lamm took a fairly comprehensive look at the various types of street lighting systems that municipalities used throughout the years. This should help immensely with narrowing down the dates for our carspotting series.

Restoration begins on Big Willie Robinson's last remaining Charger Daytona
Big Willie Robinson's Daytona, as it looked when acquired by Corey Owens. All photos courtesy Corey Owens.
Big Willie Robinson was a larger-than-life figure in the southern California drag racing scene of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Best known as the founder of the International Brotherhood of Street Racers, Robinson and his wife, Tomiko, campaigned a pair of his-and-hers 1969 Dodge Charger Daytonas known as the King Daytona and Queen Daytona. At some point in the early 1970s, a third Daytona joined the stable, and it soon became known as the Duke and Duchess car. After a journey that's taken this car from one end of the country to the other, a body shop in Minnesota has begun the restoration of the last surviving Big Willie Robinson Daytona.
Though the history of the King and Queen Daytonas is fairly well documented, less is known about the Duke and Duchess car. Some have speculated that this car was used as a tow vehicle, but little photographic evidence (aside from an image of the car with a trailer hitch) exists to document this. It's believed that the car was used for promotional appearances, but it was never featured in any advertising centered around Big Willie Robinson. There's conclusive proof that the car was raced (including a cut in the firewall to accommodate the Clutchflite transmission, and a steel plate welded to the pinion snubber area, which had been dented from hard launches), but Robinson oddly denied this when the car was sold to Kentucky collector Gary French. In any event, the car's competition days likely didn't begin until after the demise of the King and Queen Daytonas.
The original 440-cu.in. V-8 engine.
As French relates, the King Daytona (originally orange) and the Queen Daytona (originally green) were both out of commission by April of 1973. The King Daytona's acid-dipped body had grown too fragile for the kind of punishment dished out by a Keith Black-built racing Hemi V-8, and the Queen Daytona was reportedly damaged beyond repair in a racing crash. Common belief is that the King Daytona had been given to Robinson by Chrysler, while the Queen Daytona was sold at an "insider price" when a potential (but unnamed) celebrity owner backed out of a purchase deal. How or when Robinson acquired the third Daytona (which was sold new by Cherry Hill Dodge in Cherry Hill, New Jersey) remains a bit of a mystery, but current owner Corey Owens believes that Robinson bought it to help his brother out of a financial jam.
As delivered, this Daytona was sprayed in R4 red and equipped with a 440-cu.in. V-8, a four-barrel carburetor and an automatic transmission. Under Big Willie's ownership, cream paint topped the red (except in the trunk and engine compartment, making it a functional "10 foot" racing paint job) and the car was lettered with the same Brotherhood of Street Racers door logo worn by the other Daytonas. As expected, sponsor decals covered the car's flanks, and once the Queen Daytona was wrecked, this car received the hand-laid fiberglass hood that had appeared on the King Daytona in the movie Two-Lane Blacktop. Eyewitness reports from 1974-1978 seem to back up the belief that this Duke & Duchess Daytona was raced with a Keith Black Hemi, likely pulled from either the King or Queen car.
At some point in the late 1970s, even the Duke and Duchess car was retired from racing, leaving Robinson to run his heavily modified Plymouth Barracuda (which itself was largely built from a collection of cast-off Daytona parts). Forgotten, the Daytona was parked in Robinson's backyard, its Keith Black Hemi pulled for another project. The original numbers-matching drivetrain was reinstalled in 1979, and after a few decades in the California sun, Robinson made the decision to part with the car in order to raise money for permits necessary to reopen Brotherhood Raceway. Mopar collector Gary French, who'd previously asked to buy the Duke and Duchess Daytona, received a call from Robinson himself. A deal was inked, and somewhere around 2002, French took delivery of the car in California.
The restoration in process.
French took the car back to Kentucky with him and showed it at various Mopar events over the next four years. He then sold the Daytona in 2006, when it was acquired by jeans designer and car collector Donwan Harrell. Plans to restore the car never came to fruition, and in 2010 Harrell sold the car to its current owner, Corey Owens of Ogilvie Collision in Ogilvie, Minnesota. Though Owens has offered the Daytona for sale on the shop's web page, Owens said it's only for sale if someone is willing to pay the right amount of money for it and that he would be content to remain the car's curator, which is why he's in the process of restoring it to its former glory.
As Owens explained, the car is "unusable" in its current state, and he admits to wrestling with the "preserve or restore" argument. The decision for restoration was made largely by the car's current condition, which Owens deemed too far gone for mere preservation. The plan is to recreate the car as it was in the mid-1970s, using its original numbers-matching drivetrain instead of the Keith Black Hemi. Though Owens has been in contact with the current owner of the massive aluminum-block racing engine, Owens said the seller wanted too much money to make its acquisition a viable proposition.
Owens said he plans to replicate the car's original functional paint job, too, so look for red paint to show through the car's cream finish overspray in the trunk and engine bay. The original fiberglass hood is now too fragile to use, so Owens recreated the piece from the steel hood of a 1970 Charger. One door was rusted beyond reasonable repair, so Owens replaced it with another from a 1969 Charger; he said he plans to preserve both pieces for display because of their historical significance. If all goes as planned, Owens will finish the car this winter, meaning it will debut on the show circuit in 2014.

Former Shelby American designer John Chun dies at age 84
Former Shelby American designer John Chun. Photo courtesy John King.
John Chun, an industrial designer who began his automotive career with the "dream job" of sketching design proposals for Shelby American, died on Saturday, July 6.
For years, Chun was known to friends and neighbors only as the friendly proprietor of the Chun Mee Chinese Restaurant in Delano, Minnesota. In 2010, while cleaning out the basement of his house in nearby Mound, Chun came across old drawings from his former time as an industrial designer and, with his wife Helen's encouragement, decided to display them in the restaurant. Customers soon asked why Chun's signature was on drawings of iconic Shelby Mustangs, and with that the Korean engineer's past quickly elevated him to near-celebrity status.
Born the son of an engineer in what would become North Korea, Chun emigrated to South Korea following the conclusion of hostilities in 1953. By 1957, he'd followed a friend to the United States, initially settling near Sacramento, California. Despite holding an engineering degree from his native country, Chun soon realized that such a degree would do him little good in the United States, and returned to school (with limited mastery of the English language) to study engineering.
According to a 2011 profile of Chun in the Delano Herald-Journal, Chun proved to be an exceptional student, and at the insistence of a Sacremento Junior College professor, applied to the Art Center College of Design (ACCD) in Los Angeles. Accepted on the strength of his portfolio, Chun funded his studies by working as a mechanic for International Harvester. For seven years, Chun was both a full-time student and a full-time mechanic, but his payoff came in the form of a bachelor's degree in industrial design (with a specialty in transportation design) from ACCD.
1968 Shelby G.T. 500, one of the models Chun helped to design.
Rejected by Ford as "too old" for a beginning engineer, Chun was instead hired by Fred Goodell, chief engineer for Shelby American (who'd ironically spent many years with Ford). Goodell immediately tasked Chun with producing concept sketches for the 1967 Shelby G.T. 350 and G.T. 500 models. Though Chun's English was still somewhat limited, his rendering ability transcended any language barrier, and Shelby American moved Chun to Ionia, Michigan, in late 1967 to work with A.O. Smith on the 1968 Shelby models.
Chun remained with Shelby through late 1969, sketching drawings (sometimes "borrowed" permanently by Carroll Shelby himself) of G.T. 350 and G.T. 500 models in near anonymity. Unlike other engineers associated with Shelby (Goodell, Ford designer Pete Stacey, Charlie McHose, Joe Farrer), Chun has escaped mention in most books on the marque, aside from the odd footnote explaining that he was hired directly by Goodell.
Perhaps Chun's biggest claim to fame at Shelby was the redesign of the company's now-iconic coiled-cobra logo. Prior to Chun's arrival, the Peter Brock-designed logo featured a frontal view of of cobra, fangs bared and hood spread wide. To Chun, it lacked menace, so he set to work designing a logo with a more accurate (and far more sinister) cobra. After six months of work, Chun's idea for a coiled-cobra logo was approved, and Ford continues to utilize a variation on Chun's original design to this day.
When production of Shelby G.T. 350 and G.T 500 models ended at A.O. Smith in 1969, Ford was among the first to offer Chun a job, according to a 2012 profile of Chun in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. By this time, however, Chun was an established designer, and Chrysler came to the table with more money, so Chun moved to Highland Park, Michigan, to work for Chrysler on such designs as the Dodge Charger and Plymouth Road Runner. It didn't take long before others, outside the automotive industry, looked to take advantage of Chun's talents, and in the early 1970s Chun moved to Minnesota to work for Tonka Toys.

Chun's resume also includes time as a contract engineer for appliance manufacturer Whirlpool and founder of consulting firm Trans Industries. On the automotive side, Chun contributed to the design of the Bradley GT II kit car, and was asked by Hyundai to consult on the design of a car for the North American market. (Hyundai ultimately rejected Chun's ideas, instead favoring a collaboration between ItalDesign and Mitsubishi that would launch in Canada as the Hyundai Pony).
When his design background with Shelby American came to light a few years back, Chun became something of a celebrity within the Shelby community. In 2011, while recovering from treatments for stomach cancer, Chun received a call from Carroll Shelby himself, phoning to wish Chun a speedy recovery and to talk about the old days. Perhaps that's proof enough that Chun's role in the Shelby organization was more pivotal that previously documented.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1966 Dodge Charger
Though second-generation Dodge Chargers get the bulk of the attention (thanks, perhaps, to the car's starring role in the 1968 Steve McQueen classic, Bullitt and in a certain long-running TV show about some good ol' boys), the first generation fastback Chargers were, in the eyes of some, the best looking of all. This 1966 Dodge Charger for sale on Hemmings.com looks particularly good wearing period-correct Cragar SS mag wheels, although the original wheels are available, too. It's got a mildly enhanced 440-cu.in. V-8, as well as a new transmission, rear end and brakes. It's even freshly painted, meaning that the next owner need only enjoy the car. From the seller's description:
1966 Dodge Charger, High-performance V-8 440 with 513 cam, aluminum high-rise intake, Holley 750 carb, Chrysler electronic ignition. 727 automatic with 2600 stall converter, 8 3/4 rear end. Everything mechanical new – engine, brakes, trans, rear end – with less than 500 miles. No used parts. Power steering & brakes, dual exhaust, new radiator and high-volume flex fan. Very solid body, 1/4 panels, & floor pans. Legendary black vinyl interior. Fresh pearl yellow paint and re-chromed bumpers. Cragar mags (original wheels available.) Garage kept. Serious buyers only.

Make-A-Wish restores 1968 Dodge Charger for teenage cancer patient
Matthew Wood checks out his freshly restored 1968 Dodge Charger. Photos courtesy Morrie's Automotive Group.
While some restorations can drag on almost indefinitely, the crew at Morrie's Automotive Group hustled to complete their first restoration for an outside customer, that of a 1968 Dodge Charger, in just five months. That's because the customer was the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which had asked Morrie's to restore the Charger for Canyon, Minnesota, teenager Matthew Wood, a cancer patient and car enthusiast.
Wood, 16, was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma a couple of years ago and asked Make-A-Wish if they could restore the Charger that he, his older brother, and his father got 10 years ago. A base 318-powered car, the Charger originally came from California, but progress on the restoration had moved slowly over that time. Morrie's, based in the Minneapolis-St. Paul region, took on the restoration in January, rebuilding the drivetrain and repainting it in Silver Poly. Representatives from Morrie's revealed the completed Charger – which took more than 40 employees and more than 600 man-hours of work to finish – on Friday and handed Matthew the keys.
"This is sheer joy," Matthew told WCCO, which was on hand for the reveal. "I don't know what to say besides thank you to everyone. It's definitely not going to leave my sight for a while."
The next day, Matthew took the Charger out for its first cruise at the Minnesota Cars and Coffee in Chanhassen, Minnesota. Matthew's cancer has been in remission since September.

Slimmer, powerful gizmos lineup for 2013
Last Updated: Friday, December 28, 2012, 15:51
Gadget 2012
gadgets 2013
upcoming gadget 2013
Pic Courtesy: -
New Delhi: iPhone 5, iPad Mini, Nexus 7 and Galaxy SIII rocked the devices market in 2012, but as gadgets get slimmer, sexier and more powerful, similar to those seen in 007 Bond flicks, gadget enthusiasts are in for a treat in 2013.
2012 saw users transitioning from feature phones to smartphones as they moved from just talking and texting to tweeting, networking socially and shopping with increasing mobile Internet penetration and lower data tariffs.
From a little over 100 million Internet users in 2011, the number has now grown to close to 140 million with more people, especially youth, going online using their mobile phones.
"The handset market remained dynamic in 2012 with a clear preference emerging for smarter performing devices among consumers. The trend was not limited to the high end only but even entry level users moving up aspired it all," Nokia Senior Vice President (Sales - IMEA) D Shivakumar said.
In 2013, Nokia expects to see a massification of these two trends with lower price points for devices and a plethora of relevant services and content being available, he added.
Smartphone lineup for gadget freaks includes Apple iPhone 5S, Samsung Galaxy S4 and Nokia Lumia 920 and 820.
According to a McKinsey & Company report, Internet-linked consumption and expenditure in India contributes an estimated USD 30 billion, or about 1.6 per cent of the GDP and is poised to account for 2.8 to 3.3 per cent by 2015.
The same report says India is likely to also have the second-largest Internet user base in the world with 330 million to 370 million Internet users in 2015.
This year, while mobile browsers were a default installation on the handsets, companies like Nokia focussed on offering devices with a dedicated Facebook button.
Operators also introduced special tariff plans to allow consumers surf the net and visit social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.
Another highlight of the year was the flooding of Indian market with low-cost tablet PCs, with the likes of Micromax, HCL and Zen launching their devices to cater to the burgeoning demand from rural parts of the country as well as increasing interest from enterprises.
Traditionally dominated by global giants like Apple and Samsung, the tablet PC price war is now being fought at the bottom of the pyramid with many lesser known companies introducing devices for segments like education and enterprises.
"We are finding it easier to sell high end phones compared to economy range phone. On an average, we have been able to sell an average of 25,000 unit of our Intel chip-based Xolo phones which are in the price range of Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000," Lava International's founder member and Director S N Rai said.
Even as delivery delays have marred government's ambitious 'Aakash' tablet PCs from taking off, the government is now looking at launching an advanced Aakash 2 soon aiming to provide affordable devices to the students.
Maker of Aakash, Canada's Datawind, also launched similar devices under 'Ubislate' brand.
"The tablet PC market would continue to grow in 2013. From 34,000 units in Q1 of 2011 to 8.44 lakh in Q3 this year, there has been unprecedented growth in the category. There are two clear categories -- Rs 26,000 to Rs 40,000 and Rs 5,000 to Rs 15,000 and both categories will grow strongly," IDC India General Manager Jaideep Mehta said.
According to hardware industry body MAIT, the Indian tablet PC market is expected to grow at 40 per cent to 7.3 million units in 2015-16 from 0.95 million in 2011-12.
MAIT further suggests that the total PC sales between April 2011 and March 2012, stood at 10.8 million units growing 16 per cent over the last fiscal.
While desktop sales grew 11 per cent to 6.7 million units, notebooks recorded a consumption of 3.7 million units, sales up 26 per cent over the last year.
"2013 will be better. Consumption patterns are changing and people want to do more with less. We will see a lot of devices, powered by Windows 8, in 2013, especially in innovative form factors like convertibles," HP India VP and GM (Personal Systems Group) Rajiv Srivastava said.
He added that devices like ultrabooks and ultrabook convertibles, coupled with Windows 8 operating system, will change the way one interacts with the computer screen in the year ahead.
Tailored for a world shifting from personal computers to smartphones and tablets, the beta version of Microsoft's new operating system was made available in the beginning of the year. Commercial availability of devices with the new OS began in the latter half of the year.
The year 2012 also saw some big bang launches like that of Apple's iPhone 5 and iPad Mini (the smaller version of its bestseller iPad) this year, while Nokia expanded its Lumia and Asha series of smartphones.
However, it was Korean electronic giant Samsung which stole the thunder from these multinationals with a slew of smartphone launches including Galaxy SIII.
"In India, we expect that the smartphone market will touch 17 million mark, which is nearly double the size in 2011. We expect the trend to continue," a Samsung spokesperson said, adding that a similar growth is expected for tablet PCs and ultrabooks.
"Last year, the tablet PC market was about 500,000. We expect it to grow to 1.5 million this year. The ultabooks market this year is expected to be about 1.6 million," the spokesperson said.
According to research firm Gartner, over 1.2 billion mobile phones were sold in the January-September 2012 period, of which 479.94 million were smartphones.
Samsung's sold over 138 million smartphones during the period, while Apple and Research In Motion (RIM) sold over 85 million and 26.79 million smartphones, respectively.
Nokia sold 13.31 million and 7.2 million smartphones in the January-March and July-September 2012, respectively.
The year, however, did not bring much cheer for RIM. Though RIM's BlackBerry devices continued to gain traction in India, globally its market share declined.
However, RIM is betting on the new fleet of devices, to be launched in January, will revive its fortunes. RIM has said the new devices, featuring BB 10, will be faster and smoother than previous BlackBerry phones and will also have a larger bouquet of apps.
Apps were also big with consumers lapping up games like Angry Birds, to photo app Instagram to instant messaging apps like Whatsapp to navigation apps, making most of their smartphones.
In a massive victory, Apple won its patent case against Samsung, under which the Korean company was asked to pay more than USD 1 billion.
The ruling came after a jury in California found that Samsung had violated a series of Apple's patents related to software and design of mobile devices.
With high-speed Internet services like Long Term Evolution (LTE) on the anvil, sales of tablet PCs, ultrabooks and smartphones are set to increase further. The Indian government has set a target of 600 million high-speed Internet connections across the country by 2020.
The popularity of Google's Android powered devices has only grown during the year, with the operating system commanding 72.4 per cent share of the market.
Straight out of a sci-fi flick was Google's Project Glass, a product that would display information in smartphone-like format and help people interact with the Internet through voice commands.
2011 was the year for dual SIM phones, while 2012 was one for tablet PCs.
Irrespective of whether 2013 turns out to be a big one for ultrabooks or not, one thing is for sure, consumers will be treated to faster, sleeker and more converged devices and presence of stiff competition will ensure that the latest gadgets are easy on the pocket too.

Who came first: the farmer or the hunter-gatherer?
April 25, 2014 08:54 AM - Robin Blackstone, ENN
This is the question being asked by researchers from Uppsala and Stockholm Universities. And now with a genomic analysis of eleven Stone Age human remains from Scandinavia the researchers have concluded that the Stone Age farmers assimilated local hunter-gatherers who were historically lower in numbers than the farmers. There has been much debate as to when the transition between hunting-gathering and farming began. Now with DNA science being used on human material, scientists have a whole new way to learn about this sliver of time.
Unleashing the inner green consumer
April 24, 2014 11:08 AM - Click Green Staff, ClickGreen
Academics have uncovered a key influence in the consumer's decision to go green, whether it's recycling, composting or buying environmentally friendly products. Research from Concordia University's John Molson School of business, proves that even just asking ourselves, or predicting, whether we will engage in sustainable shopping behavior can increase the likelihood of following through — especially when there's an audience.
Cry for global STEM funding
April 24, 2014 10:50 AM - Oliver Girard, Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) , SciDevNet
In today's global economy, a workforce trained in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) is recognized as a primary driver of growth. Around the world, STEM education initiatives vary in scope, size, type, target populations and funding sources. What's missing is a unified global mechanism for STEM education. Creating a Global STEM Fund would help support and implement effective and innovative STEM programs in developing countries. The NGO Cosmos Education, the STEM Innovation Camp in South Africa, the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences and the Bunengi STEM Africa are but a few examples of organizations and programs that could benefit.
Are Large Dams Economical?
April 23, 2014 08:51 AM - Editor, The Ecologist
A study of 245 large dams carried out at Oxford University shows that big hydropower is uneconomic. Actual costs are typically double pre-construction estimates - and have not improved over 70 years. Researchers at Oxford University have found that planners and policymakers systematically underestimate the costs and time required to implement large dam projects.

The three categories set to go recyclable are home, pet and personal care. Colgate has also committed to developing a completely recyclable toothpaste tube or package.
The Evolution of Earth Day
April 22, 2014 10:29 AM - Allison Winter, ENN
Each year April 22nd, marks the anniversary of what many consider the birth of the environmental movement in 1970. Not only did this movement help pass landmark legislation like the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Endangered Species Act but it has also engaged more than 1 billion people who now participate in Earth Day activities each year.
Agencies and Regulators Step Up to Combat 'Pirate Fishing'
April 22, 2014 08:09 AM - ENN Staff
A new study shows that a surprisingly large amount of the seafood sold in U.S. markets is caught illegally. In fact, 90 percent of U.S. seafood is imported, and according to a new study in the journal Marine Policy, as much as a third of that is caught illegally or without proper documentation.
Narcotics + Deforestation = Narco-Deforestation
April 21, 2014 02:12 PM - Robin Blackstone, ENN
Narco-Deforestation, a newly coined term for the destruction of sensitive forest ecologies in Central and South America has been identified as a greater threat to the South and Central American forests than other previously identified concerns such as legal logging and development. The drug traffickers are creating new autoroutes and airplane strips for greater access to and through the forests and jungles of the Central and South America. These new routes make it easier to transport drugs from Mexico to South America and vice-versa.
Turtle Trouble: 20-year study finds large decrease in green turtle catch rates
April 21, 2014 02:05 PM - Allison Winter, ENN
Sea turtle populations have been exploited for hundreds of years, and even though conservation efforts have increased substantially in modern times, populations still suffer across the globe. In fact, according to conservation scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society and University of Florida, over-fishing is to blame for more than 170,000 green turtles deaths between 1991 and 2011.
That sinking feeling on the Mississippi Delta
April 21, 2014 09:49 AM - Robin Blackstone, ENN
Every engineering control has its drawbacks. As communities upstream of the Mississippi Delta continue to emplace dams and other flood control measures to prevent community flooding, less sediment is pulled from the lands upstream. Flood control measures have eliminated about half of the annual supply of marshland sediment to the Mississippi Delta. The existing soils continue to compact and sink without sediment replenishment. But researchers have found that the river's supply of sand, the key ingredient used by engineers for rebuilding, will remain constant for many centuries.

Police arrest four men and a woman for allegedly breaking into a Balhannah chemist

Phoenix Suns
Suns coach Jeff Hornacek sees a role for Kendall Marshall
Kendall Marshall is entering his second year in the NBA. The former 13th overall draft pick of the Phoenix Suns didn't make much of an impact in his rookie season, averaging just 3.0 points and 3.0 assists in 48 games.
Marshall is part of the Suns' undefeated Las Vegas Summer League team and is still feeling his way around, averaging 7.0 points and 4.0 assists per contest.
Considering all the change that happened with the organization this past offseason -- from the hiring of a new general manager and head coach to the acquisition of guards Eric Bledsoe and Archie Goodwin -- many are wondering what Marshall's place with the Suns is moving forward.
Head coach Jeff Hornacek isn't definitive about it, but does see the former North Carolina star playing a role.
"We've talked about it," Hornacek told Burns and Gambo on Arizona Sports 620 Friday. "The first vision is to see Goran (Dragic) and Eric (Bledsoe) out there together, but you need some other point guards out there.
"If we're trying to be a fast-breaking team, sure there's a spot for him. You never know how the roster is going to shake out at the end of the year -- with guys at the two-spot also, but we'll figure that out."
While Marshall's Summer League numbers are very similar to the stats he posted last year (7.0 points, 6.5 assists per game), there is an area where Hornacek has noticed some improvement in the point guard's game.
"He's shooting the ball with confidence," Hornacek said. "We wouldn't have won the second game of the Summer League without him making two big threes at the end of the game."
Marshall is shooting both .444 from the field and three-point range, which is a stark improvement over his 2012-13 regular season percentages of .371 from the field and .315 from three-point territory.

Documentary Breaks PBS Records
BY Diane Anderson-Minshall
November 19 2011 1:00 PM ET
When President Obama declared November National Native American Heritage Month, he did so with a call to "celebrate the contributions and heritage of Native Americans during this month, we also recommit to supporting tribal self-determination, security, and prosperity for all Native Americans."
That call is a bit too late to offer security to Fred Martinez, but a new film, which broke audience records earlier this year and is now available on DVD, both documents Martinez's life and the long history of different perceptions of gender and sexuality among the Navajo Nation. Fred Martinez, a Navajo boy who was nádleehí, or male-bodied person with a feminine spirit. When Fred was 16-years-old, Shaun Murphy bludgeoned him to death for being different. The film interweaves the tragic story of a mother's loss along with Native American cultural traditions that once held places of honor for people of integrated genders. Being nádleehí was, in ancient Navajo culture, a special gift but in modern culture Martinez was not honored; his brutal murder made him one of the youngest hate-crime victims in modern. But the film brings home the resounding message that being true to oneself is the bravest thing anyone can do.

As a Mac user we often feel a false sense of security due to the popular belief that there are no viruses or malware designed to penetrate the Mac OS. Well, there have been reports of virus and malware programs that are specifically designed to penetrate the Mac OS, so it's important to pay attention to how they are being spread and how they can affect your machine.
Please do not open PDF attachments sent to you by users you do not know. I realize this might prove difficult as the virus propagates it may send itself from an infected user's contacts appearing that the message is coming from someone you know. It is very difficult to counter this kind of threat.
I deal with a ton of information on a daily basis and use many different systems and methodologies to manage, organize and access it. One of the biggest challenges I was faced with was an easy way to visualize that data and how to develop relationships between it and the many concepts and ideas I have swirling around in my head.
I have bookmarks for sites that I like to frequent, a file system where I store my files, a CMS for organizing my business process and workflow, but I needed a way to bring all that data together in an easy to view way that allowed me to tag ideas and concepts and the data related to those concepts. The product I found that provides this type of functionality is Personal Brain .

The release of Windows 7 is right around the corner (October 2009) and if you are a Windows XP user you are in for a bit of a headache. The message coming out of Microsoft is that the move to Windows 7 will not be considered an upgrade from XP, but rather have to be a clean install. That means moving to Windows 7 will take a bit of legwork if you plan on staying on the same machine and moving straight from XP. Vista users won't have this problem since W7 can be considered a close cousin and is designed to accept W7 as a straight upgrade, and in a lot of cases a free one (Vista Ultimate Users).

U.S. News Review
Welcoming guests since 2008, Grand Velas Riviera Maya is a relatively new addition to Playa del Carmen's luxury hotel scene. But this 85-acre all-inclusive property has already garnered rave reviews among its guests. The accommodations impress with whirlpool tubs, 42-inch plasma-screen TVs and more than 1,000 square feet of space. Meanwhile, guests consistently praise the resort's excellent customer service, its gourmet cuisine and its revitalizing spa services. During your stay, you can sign up for invigorating treatments like the Mayan Jade Facial or the Coffee & Cocoa Experience. For extra pampering, consider splurging for the Riviera Maya Spa Package, which includes spa credits and eco-tours, among other perks. If you're more interested in hitting the links or a scuba expedition, consider one of the resorts other popular packages, all of which include meals at the resort's eight restaurants and other resort privileges, such as 24-hour butler service, water sports, snokeling tours and even mixology classes. And if you're traveling with kids in tow, send them over to the Grand Velas Kids or Teen's Club — they'll have plenty of opportunities to meet new friends while you're catching up on some R&R.How we rank hotels

Fish Stocking Fish Stocking Moratorium Dec. 2008
The California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) was ordered by a federal court to cease stocking trout, steelhead and salmon in selected sites until a comprehensive Environmental Report (EIR) was complied and reviewed. This lawsuit was filed by the Center for Biological Diversity and the Pacific Rivers council on concerns of the possible extinction of select native fish and amphibians due to inadequate stocking management.
While some 180 sites will be banned from receiving stocked fish, over 80% of the total, roughly 770 sites, will still be stocked in 2009.
There undoubtedly will be an economic impact in communities who depend on anglers who fish these 'put' and take' sites for 2009. And, DFG fish stocking will also be undoubtedly more scrutinized in the future.
For those of us in the fish conservation community as well as anglers of all philosophies; let us hope this short-term action forces DFG and its policies to employing a more long-term, comprehensive stocking management approach that factors better protection for native fish & amphibians in their historic ranges.

Serving the North Texas Catholic community by providing the faithful opportunities to grow in Christian discipleship and strengthen their relationship with Jesus Christ.
July 1, 2015
Dear Friends in Christ,
Christ teaches us that we are always to love God and our neighbor. Our neighbors include every human person. Each human person is created in the image and likeness of God thereby establishing his or her basic human dignity. Thus, the manner in which we treat our neighbor is the manner in which we treat God. It is always wrong and sinful to deny deliberately any human being the basic rights inherent in their dignity as human persons. These rights have correlative responsibilities that connect us with each other...

Garlic-Crusted Roast Rack of Lamb
Kenny Rochford's favorite way to prepare a rack of lamb is to simply rub it with plenty of garlic, rosemary, olive oil, and salt before roasting.
Total Time:
Level: Moderate
Serves: 8
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
- 1 head garlic
- 0.25 c. rosemary leaves
- 0.25 c. extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 racks of lamb
- salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- In a mini food processor, combine the garlic, rosemary, and olive oil, and process until the garlic is finely chopped. Season the lamb racks with salt and pepper and rub the garlic-rosemary oil all over them. Set the racks fat side up on a large rimmed baking sheet and let stand for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Roast the lamb in the upper third of the oven for 15 minutes. Turn the racks and roast for 10 minutes longer for medium-rare meat. Transfer the racks to a carving board, stand them upright, and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Carve the racks in between the rib bones and transfer to plates. Serve right away.

Product description
Prayer and Anticipation are Now in Season: 25 Devotions for Advent Beginning on December 1, this Once-A-Day Christmastime devotional booklet takes you through the entire Advent season with thoughts on the person of Jesus: his involvement at the creation of the world, his life in the Gospel accounts, and who he is today. Along the way you will meet and examine the lives of various individuals involved in the incarnation, and during the week of Christmas examine the response to this miraculous and gracious event, both in heaven and on earth. Written by Dr. Kenneth Boa, president of Reflections Ministries, these 25 devotions offer select Scripture passages that allow readers to gain a fuller perspective on Jesus' presence throughout the Bible. In addition, each devotion provides thoughts and questions for meditation, along with a prayer for each day, making them perfect for your own personal, family, or small-group use. The 25 days of reading are broken out as follows: The Old Testament presence of Jesus: who He was at creation, where He shows up in other parts of the Old Testament, and more The people associated with the Nativity: Zechariah and Elisabeth, Mary and Joseph, John the Baptist, Herod, and the Magi The specifics and the people directly involved in the nativity: the shepherds, the angels, and the baby Jesus himself A Christmas reading that points ahead to his ministry, his passion and his rule as King"

A challenge and a heads up
I have a little challenge for you this week. Can you make your learning more colourful?
I'm finding the simple addition of colour really makes a difference to our learning. I have a very visual learner, so for her, making our spelling as colourful as possible is really helping. And my other daughter is mad for colouring in, so bringing a pot of colourful pencils into our maths lesson had her diving in enthusiastically to learn all about shapes. We're working on the same learning objectives, but that dash of colour makes a big difference.
Want to try it this week? How could you add some colour to the play or learning you have planned for the week? Give it a try and see if makes a difference for you. And I would love to see a photograph of what you try. Come and share your idea on our Facebook page, or on Instagram, and tag me (@cathynurturestore) so I can come and say hello.
Oh, and a quick heads up – there's a Joyous June Sale on the way! From June 1 – 7 stop by the NurtureStore shop as some of our most popular resources will be half price!
Hope you have a great week with your kids. Don't forget to share your colour challenge photos with me. Cathy

As much as I REALLY liked the concept and story of this anime, and even some of thecharacters(Particularly Ren who was just adorable) there were certain things that I just couldn't get past.
1) I'm not much for foolish love stuff messing with an actiony anime
2) I'm pretty sure the main love interests are COUSINS and therefore I was really disapproving
3) Ayano, despite her improving slowly, was obnoxious and Kazuma never really changed. Each had good points, but this issue was that other than Ren, who matures during some of his screentime, there wasn't a lot of change. Ayano is still a ridiculously overpowered, over emotional, jealous, and annoying teenage girl. Kazuma is a jerk for messing with her and doing so CONSTANTLY, REALLY ridiculously overpowered, and kind of flat emotionally which, as refreshign as it is from Ayano's over the top-ness, was boring.
If it had just been about a family of magic users and their battles in the magical world, I probably would have really liked it, it was still GOOD, but, the romantic aspects and lack of change in character I saw really put me off, and I don't really know if I want to continue it.
The first few episodes start out strong with a story that got me hooked right away. I thought the series was going to be pretty good, but after about 6 or so episodes it starts to go in random directions with mini-arcs that don't seem to follow a general path. It felt like a few mini-stories compacted in together (with the first one being great and then the next ones not being as good). I also felt the ending didn't give the story justice.
So far as the characters go I felt that they didn't dive into kazuma's past enough. They did some, but there is one thing that really should have been explained more. 8O.
Overall I'd give it about 6.5/10.
Kaze no Stigma is a fun anime if you're interested into this genre. Battles, magic, comedy, kick-ass moments, KnS has it all.
The story is fair, not really impressive since for me it was predictable towards the end. The "main" plot starts later in the series as the first 3/4 is filled with random missions and somewhat fillers like hotspring episodes and so on. Even though the lack of main plot overall disappointed me, I found the story overall satisfying.
The characters are very nicely drawn, you can clearly see this is a 2007 anime. Effects are good, from flames to wind and other unleashed powers; plus the characters are drawn good enough for any fan to enjoy the art. Even though it's no better than other 2007 animes, it clearly has it's own attractiveness for me.
Not much to comment on this area, the sound is fair enough, soundtrack fits the mood all of the time and the opening song is quite catchy once you listen to it. I liked the idea of two ending songs/sequences since it changed with the atmosphere of the episode. Overall it was fine with me.
The characters were great, I loved them. KnS has it all: the tsundere, the athlete, the rich lady (from America, though speaks English like hell), the lolita and so on. To my surprise, the guys have cool personalities as well, the main lead taking the title of one of the most kick-ass characters, you're gonna like his style. Nothing else to say here, the characters are probably the strong point of this anime.
Overall I rounded up to around 8. I think it was pretty great and I don't regret seeing it. The main lead remains one of my favorite characters. It's a good thing they have an open end so I really hope for a sequel. That's about it.
So I had started this series on Netflix when it was first released and got board by episodes 5-7 (the Misao stoy line). Recently I went back and watched it but skipped the second story line. So much better! Fell in love with the whole cast and loved the story lines! So for those who started this series and got bogged down by the second line (episodes 5-7) just power though the 3 episodes or skip it cause this is a beautiful story with a lot of laughs and some well placed tears!!
This anime was really good, and it wasn't like what I expected. (And being a big fan of shakugan no Shana... for a while every time I heard the main girl speak all I could say or think was "is that you Shana")
The storyline was unique and different to other storylines that I have come across which made this really good and so close to perfect.
The animations in this were amazing and right for the anime.
The characters are very... unique as well and very interesting to say the least. I love the main guy (Kazuma) the best as he has a very strange but funny personality.
My overall opinion on this anime is that I loved it and it was so close to perfect (I wished it was longer or a second season :( )
