This is my holy grail primer. It works like a dream. All I need is about a pea sized dot and I spread it all over my face evenly. Don't take too much, however, because you'll end up with a slick face. It works great to smooth out my skin, keep my oily skin matte, plus you get a ton of product for around $9 at CVS. It's great. :D I definitely recommend this, as there are no harsh chemicals and no fragrances that could break you out. I promise, once you buy this, you will fall in love and never go back to anything else!

Cheap alternative for a primer. Fills in pores and it's a gel to powder formula, and it makes such a smooth base for your foundation. I'd even just wear this under powder! I will definitely repurchase :)
PS there's a coupon on the monistat website for $2 off so it's even more affordable.

I really wanted this to work as my face primer but it broke me out terribly :c But I must say it did give my make up good results, my foundation went on so so smooth, it made it last even longer, my face felt smooth and matte. The only downfall was the breakouts ughhh they hurt so bad and it took me a long time to get rid of them and when I did they left dark spots now I have even more hyper-pigmentation. So disappointed.

I have been using this for nearly 2 years and don't know what I would do without this product as my primer! It makes my foundation glide on so smoothly on my skin and also really helps with staying power. My foundation doesn't wear or look as good without it. I've tried the other primers like benefit porefessional, but I feel like this is way better then the other HE primers.

I am so glad that I tried this gel. My makeup lasts all day and my nose and forehead are oil free. I was worried about having a reaction since my skin is extremely sensitive, but after using it three times a week for two months I haven't had even the slightest burn or blemish.
I'll definitely be going back to Wal-Mart for another tube (or two).

An affordable alternative for daily use. BUT this is only effective if I use powder foundation - I use Clinique's Superbalanced Powder Makeup. I just have to make sure that my skin is properly moisturized, as this combo is so unforgiving to dry patches on the skin.
I tried this with my Diorskin Forever and Nude foundations applied using a Beauty Blender, and the results were horrible. It formed weird clumps in the smoother parts of my skin, something that I've never seen when I use Guerlain's Meteorites Pearles primer.

I had such high hopes for this product but after a couple days of testing it, I kept on getting the same result: OIL SLICKED CHEEKS. I already had oily skin, so this just made it worse.

I love this primer so much, I don't feel the need to try any others. I tried Neutrogena Shine-Free Primer ($10) and L'Oreal Studio Secrets Anti-Dull Primer ($13) and hated them both for different reasons. I tried this Monistat primer-but not really a primer and I loved it! Only about $7 at CVS. It only makes my makeup last a few hours longer but my favorite benefit from this is how smooth is makes my face before applying my make-up! When I apply it, it feels velvety soft and make-up "ready. It really does make my foundation go on smooth and clean! It never makes my skin feel oily, it makes my skin feel great. It did not cause any irritation or breakouts whatsoever...my skin loves it! I bought this at least 6 months ago and I'm about half way through the tube. I definitely recommend this product!

I bought this after reading the rave reviews and, I must say, it's pretty good stuff. I had only used three other primers before: Rimmel (yuck), L'Oreal Studio Secrets (pasty, hard to blend, heavy), and one that was a free sample which I can't even recall since it apparently did not impress me. The Monistat goes on smoothly and dries to a nice matte finish. I have dry skin which will occasionally break out if I switch around with a lot of products. It does not take much at all to cover your whole face, comes in a nice size tube, and I think it was about $6 or so at CVS. Will probably last me for a year or two. I have had it for a month or so and have hardly made a dent in it. I don't know if it makes my makeup last longer, but it sure does make it easier to apply. Looks much smoother and less drying. It's a keeper.

I purchased this after buying Benifit's Porefessional, and this preforms better in my opinion! It acts the same way to hide my pores, makes a great all-over primer (I don't use it on my eyelids, though), it doesn't cause me breakouts, does not feel heavy, has no scent. I definitely recommend this $6 item over more expensive face primers. Give it a try. I will buy again and again!
Also, it does work good as a chafing gel, which was it's intended purpose!

Russian Production and Studio Tax Incentives Could Get Government Greenlight, Say Studio Chiefs
Lobby for tax incentives hoping for Kremlin measures later this year.
MOSCOW -- Moves by Russian studio chiefs to pressure the Kremlin to adopt production tax incentives in line with many European countries might soon bear fruit.
Talks between heads of studios and government officials from tax, economic development and finance ministries are looking positive, according to Ilya Bachurin, Glavkino's CEO.
The $100 million studio has plans for a second-phase development of a further $100 million as demand develops.
Glavkino, which is owned by investors that include leading film and television figures such as producerdirector Fedor Bondarchuk and Channel One head Konstantin Ernst, has been leading a campaign for tax incentives.
Studio chiefs argue that tax incentives of around 20 percent that have been adopted across many central and Eastern European countries mean Russia will be left behind unless it levels the playing field.
Hungary, the Czech Republic, Croatia -- and most recently Lithuania -- have all adopted tax incentives to help bring in international productions along with many other European countries.
"After talks with top officials, we agreed that rather than publish open letters calling for these measures to be introduced, it was better to work with the ministries," Bachurin tells The Hollywood Reporter.
Russian president Vladimir Putin pays close attention to the film industry and recently criticized corruption in the distribution and spending of subsidies.
Officials from key ministries have told studio chiefs that by working together on a raft of measures, they are likely to have a greater chance of achieving the incentives for which they are fighting.
"We are expecting a raft of measures that meet many of our objectives to be announced after the summer -- in the autumn," Bachurin added.
Measures are needed, he added, to help improve the use of studio facilities by productions with bigger spends than most local films.
Glavkino, which has a total area of 33,000 square meters with 9,000 square meters of 12 stages, wants to attract bigger productions. Currently as many as "90-95 percent" of Russian productions have budgets of less than $2 million, he said.
The studios have a number of features in production or in post, including Bondarchuk's $30 million World War Two epic Stalingrad, where Glavkino is providing post services. The film is due for release Oct. 10 and is Russia's first-ever IMAX 3D production.
A trailer for the film, shown Wednesday to journalists and industry figures -- with lines like "six brothers in arms protecting the heart of their homeland" and "in war there is love and in love there is hope" -- reflect the blockbuster ambitions of the special FX-laden war film.

OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Two new whitepapers from CompTIA address important issues impacting the broader adoption of cloud computing. /a
Two New Cloud Computing Whitepapers Available from CompTIA CompTIA Cloud/SaaS Community members collaborate to examine cloud definitions, business models November 22, 2010 08:35 AM Eastern Time OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--CompTIA, the non-profit association for the information technology (IT) industry, announced today the availability of two new whitepapers on important cloud computing topics. Both whitepapers were developed by the CompTIA Cloud/SaaS Community, one of seven community groups created by CompTIA to advance specific technology solutions, markets and business segments vital to the continued growth and success of the IT industry. More than 60 industry leaders in the cloud computing market are active members of the CompTIA community. Outlining Cloud Computing for the Channel clarifies and expands on cloud computing definitions for practical application in the IT reseller channel community. "We've provided basic definitions and core characteristics for cloud computing and put this information in context for the IT channel," said Brad DeSent, chair of the CompTIA Cloud /SaaS Community and president of Apex Consulting Group, a provider of strategic and tactical technology solutions and services. "It's designed to give the IT channel community a baseline reference for describing cloud computing and how it fits with the various constituencies that make up the channel." The second whitepaper, Cloud Computing Business Models for the Channel defines the sales cycle, stages of development and the roles of IT channel companies in cloud computing. It identifies and defines basic cloud business models and outlines the orientation and relationship of cloud computing models to businesses operating in and around the channel. "We've addressed two important issues impacting the broader adoption of cloud computing," said Dan Liutikas, senior vice president, industry relations, CompTIA. "First, there's confusion among both customers and solutions providers in defining cloud computing, Second, many IT channel companies are evaluating where they fit into the cloud computing market." The whitepapers are available in CompTIA Member Resource Center. The September 2010 CompTIA study Cloud Computing: Pulling Back the Curtain found both the channel and end user communities crave a more authoritative definition of cloud computing, More than two-thirds of channel companies surveyed said that having a clear definition will help them present a more convincing value proposition for cloud computing to their customers. Six in ten end users also cited market clarity as the main reason to script an industry-wide definition; and nearly half also said the definition will show them how they should best buy and consume cloud computing solutions. The study also suggested that many channel organizations are still figuring out what role they will play and how the business model suits their own organizations. The good news for the channel is that customers want to use them as a source for their cloud computing solutions, more so than vendors, consultants or self-service options, according to the CompTIA study. The CompTIA Cloud/SaaS Community addresses challenges and opportunities in the emerging field of cloud, or Software as a Service (SaaS) computing and application delivery. This group develops best practices, education programs, industry standards, and member driven initiatives specific to the Web-based technologies. Visit CompTIA Communities to learn more.

Archive for the 'Italian cars' tag
Dormant for 25 years, one-owner Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona heads to auction
Patrick Sinn's 1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona. Photos by Darin Schnabel, courtesy RM Auctions.
In 1989, the death of his father forced Toronto's Patrick Sinn to return to his native Hong Kong for an extended visit. Suspecting he'd be gone for six months or more, Patrick covered his 1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona and placed the car up on blocks in the parking garage of his downtown condominium. Though he made it back to Toronto in 1995, the Ferrari remained in its undisturbed state (becoming something of an urban legend in the process) until November of 2014, when Patrick made the difficult decision to offer his "condo find" Ferrari to its next owner at RM's upcoming Amelia Island sale.
Returning from a 1971 ski trip to Chamonix, France, Patrick's flight from Geneva was delayed. Looking for a way to kill time, he opted to spend the day at the Geneva International Auto Show, where he first encountered Ferrari's stunning 365 GTB/4 Daytona coupe, launched in 1968. Captivated, Patrick inquired about purchasing one of his own, but quickly realized that visiting Ferrari's offices in Modena would give him the ability to order a car configured to his specifications, and would likely lead to the fastest possible delivery time. Changing his travel plans, Patrick made the trek from France to Italy to order his new Daytona.
Selecting Bordeaux Red with a metallic base for the exterior and two-tone leather for the interior, Patrick ordered the car for European delivery, purchasing a supply of spare parts and consumables to go with it. In July of 1971, Ferrari advised him that chassis 14385 was ready for delivery, so Patrick flew to Europe and spent the next month exploring the continent before returning the Daytona to Ferrari for its initial service. Accompanying the car on its journey to North America aboard the QE2, Patrick reportedly made daily inspections of his prized coupe to ensure that no damage had occurred in the previous 24 hours.
Crossing the border from the United States into Canada, Patrick encountered his first obstacle, in the form of a Canadian Customs agent, who informed him the car did not meet safety and pollution requirements and therefore could not be brought into the country. Negotiations ensued, and after posting a bond in the required amount, Patrick was cleared to cross the border in his Daytona.
Over 18 years, Patrick racked up 93,594 kilometers (58,157 miles) in the Ferrari, confessing that he was once clocked at 180 km/h (112 MPH) behind the wheel. When his father died in 1989, he knew it would take several months to wrap up business and settle the estate, but six months turned to six years before Patrick returned to Toronto. Busy catching up on other things in his life, the Ferrari sat undisturbed in the parking garage of his condo, wrapped in its protective cloak and resting on concrete blocks, for the next 19 years.
Last month, Patrick came to the realization that it was time to pass along his one-owner Ferrari to its next caretaker. It's been "returned to running condition," to quote RM, but the auction house is quick to point out that additional mechanical reconditioning will be necessary to return the car to driver status. For the right buyer, however, this will serve as a plus and not a minus, as very few hands have ever spun wrenches on the Daytona's 4.4-liter, 352-horsepower V-12 engine or its chassis.
Therein lies the beauty of this particular Ferrari. Its paint may no longer be pristine, and it's likely that numerous mechanical systems will need servicing or rebuilding before the Daytona can be truly enjoyed, but the car comes sans mystery, and hence, sans doubt. This peace of mind comes at a price, and RM is predicting a selling price in excess of $600,000 when the Ferrari crosses the block at Amelia Island next March.
The Amelia Island sale will take place on March 14, 2015, at the Ritz-Carlton resort in Amelia Island, Florida. For additional details, visit RMAuctions.com.
UPDATE (16.March): The 1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona sold for a fee-inclusive price of $770,000.
Fiat moves toward reviving the 124
Earlier this month, Alfa Romeo CEO Harald Wester confirmed rumors that there would be no Alfa Romeo Spider based on the new Mazda MX-5 Miata, despite a 2012 agreement between the two automakers; FCA evidently came to the conclusion that a made-in-Japan Alfa was not in keeping with the marque's Italian brio. But now it appears that the marriage isn't completely doomed; according to the Italian financial magazine Il Sole 24 Ore, FCA has renewed the trademarks on two of its more successful names, 124 and 124 Spider, suggesting that there will be at least two new small Fiats, a convertible and a coupe, based on the rear-drive Mazda roadster.
Like the 500, the 124 had a good, long run, making it a promising name for a new Fiat sports car. The original 124 was introduced in 1966, winning European Car of the Year honors, and finally made its way through the regulatory thicket to the U.S. market one year later. The series, named for its "124" Lampredi-designed, four-cylinder engine, consisted of a four-door sedan, a two-door Sport Coupe, a convertible Sport Spider and a station wagon.
Production of the sedan and the coupe lasted until 1975, but the Spider hung in for another decade; for the last two model years, the car was badged a Pininfarina, after the coachbuilder took over production from Fiat. The Spider was by far the best-known version of the 124 in America, where 170,000 of the 198,000 built were sold. Even though the underpinnings – and styling – were nearly two decades old at the end of the 124's career, it was still capable of charming the automotive writers. As Road & Track noted in 1984, "The Spider is an old friend, one that proves you don't have to throw away an earlier configuration just for the sake of change. It's a basically simple design with a friendly personality."
If there is indeed a new 124 coming, it will have some big shoes to fill. Fingers crossed, we'll get to see it try – especially if there's going to be an Abarth version. And chin up, Alfisti: Wester is on record saying that the Alfa Spider project will continue in-house as part of Project Giorgio, a rear-wheel-drive platform to be shared with several models.
One-of-two Ferrari 365 P "Tre Posti" to join Dream Cars exhibit on its move to Indianapolis
Photos by Brian Henniker, courtesy Gooding.
While Luigi Chinetti Jr. has likened some of the Ferraris that passed through his family's dealership as mere tools used for winning races, he described his 1966 Ferrari 365 P "Tre Posti" as "more like a sculpture…it's a work of art." Fitting, then, that the car will join a host of other spectacular cars as part of the upcoming Dream Cars exhibit at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
Chinetti should know best the Tre Posti's aesthetic sway. His family has owned it for all but a couple years since Pininfarina built the three-seater, and he's been able to take it in pretty much every day for the last four-plus decades. It wasn't Chinetti's famous father who commissioned it, however. Instead, somebody at Pininfarina – either Sergio Pininfarina or Aldo Brovarone, the company's director of design – took it upon himself to build a road car from one of Ferrari's V-12 mid-engine chassis, something that Enzo Ferrari had refused to do up until that time.
So starting with chassis 8971, a 4.4-liter mid-engine competition chassis similar to the 330 P2 and 365 P2 that Chinetti's North American Racing Team campaigned with success in 1965, Pininfarina bodied the car in aluminum and gave the car its most defining feature: three-across seating with the driver situated in the center. Special cast aluminum wheels, a roll bar, a dry-sump lubrication system, and the single center-mount windshield wiper all hint at the Tre Posti's racecar underpinnings, but the black leather seats, red carpet, chrome bumpers, and full glass roof give it just enough road car civility.
Pininfarina built another Tre Posti – chassis number 8815 – for Fiat head Gianni Agnelli, but it was chassis 8971 that toured the world for much of 1966 and 1967, appearing at Paris, Earl's Court in London, Brussels, Geneva, and Los Angeles. While Enzo Ferrari didn't take Pininfarina's bait on the Tre Posti itself, the mid-engine Dino would appear a couple years later with some of the Tre Posti's design influence and Ferrari did eventually relent on mid-engine V-12 road cars with the 1973 365 Boxer Berlinetta.
As for chassis 8971, Luigi Chinetti Sr. bought it in May 1967 for $21,160 – $9,600 for the chassis and $11,560 for the body – or about $148,000 in today's dollars. According to Luigi Chinetti Jr., his father sold it that fall to a banker named Marvyn Canton for $26,000. Canton found it difficult to drive in New York City, however, so he returned it to Chinetti Motors in March 1968 in exchange for a 365 GT 2+2. Chinetti, in turn, sold the Tre Posti a couple months later to Jan De Vroom for a little more than $18,000. De Vroom didn't keep it much longer than Canton, and after he returned it to Chinetti that fall, the Chinetti family has held on to it ever since.
Though not for lack of trying. Luigi Chinetti Jr. attempted to sell chassis 8971 at Gooding's Pebble Beach auction earlier this year, and while it netted plenty of publicity, Chinetti turned down the $23.5 million top bid for it.
Those who missed their opportunity to see the Tre Posti in person at Pebble Beach, however, will now get the chance to see it when it joins the assemblage of one-offs, prototypes, and other unique cars that form the Dream Cars: Innovative Design, Visionary Ideas exhibit. Though the exhibit has closed its summer-long run at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia, it will re-open this coming summer at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
According to exhibit curator Ken Gross, all but one of the 18 vehicles that participated in the exhibit at the High (including the 1953 GM Firebird I, one of Bill Stout's Scarabs, the 1947 Norman Timbs Special, and the 1970 Lancia Stratos HF Zero) will return in Indianapolis. The only one not to return – the Pininfarina-bodied 1970 Ferrari 512 S Modulo – has since been sold to collector James Glickenhaus, who has stated that he intends to convert it into a road-going car. The Tre Posti, then, will take the Modulo's place in the exhibit.
"I think it's a nice fit for the exhibit," Gross said. It's a Ferrari, it's a Pininfarina, it's something dramatic. It's a little bit earlier than the Modulo, and it's not a wedge shape like the Modulo or the Lancia, but its styling elements were picked up in subsequent Ferraris."
Gross, who said that Indianapolis is likely to be the exhibit's final stop, noted that about 180,000 people visited the High Museum of Art for its initial run. "These exhibits go a long way toward silencing the few critics who say that cars don't belong in an art museum," he said.
The Dream Cars exhibit at the Indianapolis Museum of Art will take place May 3 to August 23. For more information, visit IMAMuseum.org.
One-off diamond-layout 1960 Pininfarina X heads to auction
Photos courtesy Barrett-Jackson.
Zero point two-zero, or better than the Tatra T77 and almost as good as the GM EV1. That's the coefficient of drag rating for the 1960 Pininfarina X, one of the most aerodynamic cars built and one of the oddest, thanks to its diamond-shaped wheel layout. It also makes it the most aerodynamically efficient vehicle to cross the block at next month's Barrett-Jackson sale.
Other prototypes and even production cars used the unconventional diamond layout over the years. Sunbeam produced a hundred or so around the turn of the century, Wolseley and Voisin had each proposed such a vehicle before World War II, and a California tinkerer named H. Gordon Hansen designed and built his own Gordon Diamond by 1947, but all for different reasons. Hansen, for instance, designed his largely as a safety car and figured that the best way to fit a perimeter bumper to a car was to rearrange the positions of the wheels.
Alberto Morelli had an entirely different purpose in designing the Pininfarina X, as Karl Ludvigsen wrote in Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car #53. A professor at Turin's Polytechnic University, Morelli had a deep interest in aerodynamics as they applied both to aircraft and to automobiles. Coachbuilder Pininfarina (known as Pinin Farina up until 1960) approached Morelli and asked him to apply his research into something practical: an extremely efficient, low-drag family sedan.
The diamond layout that he chose allowed a narrow cross section at the front that widened toward the middle and tapered away toward the rear, an ideal aerodynamic shape, he argued. The front wheel would thus steer, the middles would serve as outriggers and the rear would drive the car. He chose a 43hp 1,089cc four-cylinder engine and four-speed transmission from a Fiat 1100 to power it (installed at an angle behind the right rear quarter panel and driving the rear wheel via a V-drive apparatus) and suspended it with synthetic rubber at each wheel. The fins at the rear, according to Ludvigsen and Morelli, had nothing to do with American automotive fashion; instead, they actually helped to counter the loss of stabilization that came as a result of the highly aerodynamic shape.
Pininfarina built Morelli's concept, tested it extensively, and even drove it up to 90 MPH, about 20 percent faster than a stock Fiat 1100 was capable of. The company displayed it at the Turin Auto Show in November 1960 and at Brussels in 1961. Battista Farina reportedly shopped the X around to carmakers to see if they would built it, but found it a tough pitch. Perhaps that had something to do with Pininfarina asking Morelli to follow up the X with the Pininfarina Y, a two-door car with a similar aerodynamic shape but with a conventional rectangular wheel layout. That car, which was based on a Fiat 600 D and debuted at Turin in 1961, rated a coefficient of drag of 0.27 – better than pretty much any car on the road at the time, but not nearly as efficient as the Model X – seeming to prove that Morelli was onto something by selecting the diamond layout.
As for the X, it remained in Pininfarina's possession until 2007, when Pininfarina's museum sold the unrestored car. Three years later, collector car dealer Aero Toy Store in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, began to offer the X for sale, first on Hemmings.com for $1.35 million and shortly after on the company's own site for $3 million. The X now will cross the block with no reserve.
Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale auction will take place January 10-18. For more information, visit Barrett-Jackson.com.
UPDATE (17.January 2015): The Pininfarina X sold for a price of $330,000.
UPDATE (3.February 2015): We see that Hyman now has the Pininfarina X for sale at an undisclosed price.
UPDATE (5.May 2015): Hyman has set the asking price of the Pininfarina X at $595,000.
La grange ultime trouvee: Artcurial unearths a treasure trove of collector cars
The 1961 Ferrari and the 1956 Maserati from the Baillon Collection. Images courtesy Artcurial.
In the 1970s, truck manufacturer Roger Baillon fell upon hard times, and was forced to sell an automobile collection that was over two decades in the making. As Artcurial's Matthieu Lamoure and Pierre Novikoff recently discovered, only a portion of his holdings crossed the block, while the remainder were passed down through children and grandchildren. Now, the collection's time in the spotlight has come again, and next February the French auction firm Artcurial will be offering the remaining cars from the Baillon collection at its Retromobile sale in Paris.
The Talbot-Lago T26 Saoutchik cabriolet on the right once belonged to Egypt's King Farouk.
To understand the significance of the collection, one must first understand a bit about Roger Baillon, the man behind it. Baillon made his fortune building truck bodies, and, later, trucks. In the postwar years, this was a particularly lucrative business, and Baillon's design for a secure and watertight tanker earned his company, Transports Baillon, a monopoly in this segment.
A Talbot Lago T26 Grand Sport coupe.
Baillon was a dreamer, too, who designed a cab-forward truck said to be the first in France, if not the first in postwar Europe. His passions extended to automobiles as well, and in 1947 Baillon designed and constructed a car of his own, the Oiseau Bleu (Blue Bird) roadster. It's not clear why Baillon never pursued auto manufacturing as a primary business, but in postwar Europe the automobile was a luxury that few families could afford. Trucks, on the other hand, were essential to the necessary rebuilding of European infrastructure.
Another Talbot Lago T26, perhaps in better condition.
From the early 1950s through the mid-1960s, Baillon amassed an impressive collection of European automobiles, but these were not acquired with a collector's (or investor's) eye. Instead, the story goes, many were purchased simply with the intent of saving them from the scrap heap. Some were restored, while others were left in an as-found state, perhaps with a future goal of preservation in mind. In 1953, Baillon acquired a property that he ultimately intended to convert into an automotive museum, but his dream was never realized.
A Hispano-Suiza H6B cabriolet, in suboptimal storage conditions.
By the 1970s, Baillon's once-profitable manufacturing and transportation business had fallen on hard times, forcing the sale of what many believed to be his entire collection. The 50 cars sold represented less than half of his holdings, and the cars held back (or the cars that failed to sell) would today be the envy of most automotive museums. It's not clear how Lamoure and Novikoff made contact with Baillon's heirs, but what is clear is this: the 60-plus cars at the Baillon property have been largely untouched for decades, and the family is now ready to part with them.
Out of its garage, the Ferrari appears to be in reasonably good condition.
The photos of the find are almost too incredible to believe. A 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider, one of 37 made, sits piled high with string-wrapped bundles of the French magazine La Vie de l'Auto, parked next to a dusty and weathered Maserati A6G Gran Sport Frua, one of three built. A Facel Vega Excellence shares carport space with a Talbot Lago T26 Saoutchik cabriolet, which reportedly once belonged to Egypt's King Farouk. The remains of a Hispano-Suiza H6B cabriolet rest in a rickety lean-to with a corrugated tin roof, supported by a tree trunk nailed to a rafter with a 1 x 4. While it's clear that the collection may have been assembled with passion, it's equally clear that maintaining such an assemblage of fine automobiles is now financially beyond the means of Baillon's family.

Selling the 60-plus cars in the collection will certainly enhance the family's finances. The Ferrari alone, once owned by French actor Alain Delon, is estimated to be worth as much as $16 million in its current state, and that's just one of the multi-million-dollar cars in the collection. Lamoure likely isn't exaggerating when he refers to the collection as a once-in-a-lifetime discovery; like the Lambrecht Chevrolet auction in the United States, the Baillot Collection sale will likely be spoken of among collectors for decades to come.
The Retromobile auction will take place on February 6, 2015, in Paris, France. For additional details, visit Artcurial.com.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1978 Fiat 124 Spider
Compact convertibles from foreign manufacturers once dotted the American landscape, but today have largely vanished from sight (Mazda's beloved Miata excepted). Once plentiful in the classified advertising of any city that enjoyed a reasonable amount of annual sunshine (and, of course, Hemmings Motor News), Fiat 124 Spiders have become somewhat more challenging to find in recent years, with most bearing disclaimers like "ran when parked" or "good candidate for complete restoration." This 1978 Fiat 124 Spider, for sale on Hemmings.com, makes no such apologies; in fact, the most critical thing the owner points out is the typical garage damage caused by children's bicycles and other trappings of suburban life. With a claimed 35,000 miles on the odometer and service records since new, two more common areas of concern appear to be addressed, making this Fiat worth a look for those in the market. From the seller's description:
1978 Fiat 124 Spider – Extraordinarily Original! One owner, one garage and one service center. VERY LOW MILES, only 35,000 since new! Original paint, interior, carpet, radio, luggage rack, title (1978) and dealer brochures. Perfect original dash, console and top boot. Clean engine, no leaks all service up to date, all service logs since new. The trunk looks like it has never been opened! LOOKS, RUNS, DRIVES, STARTS and STOPS LIKE NEW! Very clean road ready Fiat. The only negative is some garage rash from children's bicycle's and wife's laundry basket, but car still shows excellent. Fiat currently rides on late model spider Cromodora alloy rims, but also includes the original steel rims and recent tires. No disappointments with this Fiat!

'Most expensive car crash' Ferrari 250 GTO restored by Ferrari Classiche
1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, chassis 3455GT, undergoing repairs in Maranello. Photos courtesy Ferrari Classiche.
This much is known: In 2012, while competing in a vintage road rally near Blois, France, American Christopher Cox and his wife, Ann, were injured when their 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO collided with a passenger car. The crash was severe enough to leave Ann Cox with broken bones, and while images of the accident are essentially nonexistent, damage to the car's front and right side was said to be considerable.
When it comes to the repair of such a valuable Ferrari, the best source may well be Ferrari itself; now, over two years later, Ferrari Classiche has announced the completion of repairs to Cox's GTO.
Media outlets wasted no time in calling the July 2012 incident the "world's most expensive car crash," thanks to the lofty value of the Ferrari 250 GTO. Two months prior to the accident, in May of 2012, another Ferrari 250 GTO (built for Stirling Moss) sold in a private transaction for a reported $35 million. That's not to say that Cox's car, which lacked the celebrity driver provenance, carried an identical value, but as one of just 36 Ferrari 250 GTOs built (39 if one counts the three 330 GTOs), chassis 3455GT was still worth a significant amount of money and represented an important chapter of Ferrari's racing history.
To ensure its continued value, Cox entrusted Ferrari Classiche, a division of the Maranello-based automaker that specializes in maintenance, repair and restoration of classic Ferraris. The two-year repair involved far more than just panel beating, as Ferrari Classiche claimed the repair order also returned the car to the original engine and bodywork configuration present at its 1962 delivery. The Swedish national livery was added by a later owner, Ulf Norinder, who acquired chassis 3455GT in April of 1963.
It was under Norinder's ownership that the car saw its greatest racing successes, achieving a victory at Vastkustloppet, Sweden, and a pair of podium finishes in the 1963 and 1964 Targa Florio. In the years since, the Ferrari has been enjoyed by a variety of owners around the globe, with most exercising the car regularly at vintage events.
Cox, who purchased chassis 3455GT in June of 2005, continued the tradition, and it's oddly fitting that the car was damaged during a motorsport event highlighting the 50th anniversary of the Ferrari GTO.
It's impossible to know exactly how much Ferrari Classiche charged for repairs (or even if the at-fault driver's insurance put a dent in the repair costs), but it's safe to say that a factory restoration negates any doubt over the car's future net worth. We certainly hope to see the distinctive blue-and-yellow GTO return to the show and vintage racing circuit in the coming years, but in the interim, here's a short video of the car's shakedown testing at Fiorano found by our friends at Motor Authority.
After a 100-year slumber, the Beast of Turin comes to life
The Beast of Turin comes to life. Photos courtesy Stefan Marjoram.
In the early days of motor racing, there really was no replacement for displacement. Going faster meant constructing ever larger engines, and in 1910, Fiat set the bar by designing a 28.5-liter (1,729-cu.in.) inline four-cylinder to power its S76 Grand Prix car. Two were built, but just one survives today; now, thanks to the efforts of restorer Duncan Pittaway, the surviving "Beast of Turin" has awakened after its century-long slumber.
Duncan Pittaway (L) works through a coil problem with a pair of assistants.
Fiat's 28.5-liter four was in direct response to the 21.5-liter four-cylinder that powered the Blitzen Benz, which Barney Oldfield had used to set a world land record speed of 131.7 MPH at Daytona Beach in 1910. Not reserved exclusively for Grand Prix racing, the Fiat S76 was also used by American driver Arthur Duray in a 1911 land speed record attempt at Ostend, Belgium; as The Old Motor explains, Duray managed a higher one-way speed of 132.27 MPH, but was unable to complete a return run within the hour allotted. The Beast of Turin would be denied the record, and would soon be rendered obsolete by smaller and lighter multi-cam engines from manufacturers like Peugeot.
The first S76 constructed was sold by Fiat to a Russian noble in 1911, prior to Duray's record attempt. Following the First World War, this chassis surfaced in Australia, where it would come to be powered by a Stutz engine, the fate of its massive Fiat four-cylinder unknown. Fiat retained possession of the second S76, but dismantled the car sometime after the war's end. Both cars may have been lost to history were it not for the efforts of Pittaway, who began his quest to resurrect the Beast of Turin in 2003, when he acquired the chassis of S76 number one.
Sometime later, Pittaway was able to purchase the surviving S76 engine from chassis number two, which required a complete tear-down and rebuild. For its day, the engine was remarkably advanced, featuring an overhead camshaft and four valves per cylinder; yet it's the sheer size of the block that is most impressive.
With pieces of the car in hand, Pittaway began the laborious process of recreating other major components, such as the dual chain-drive gearbox and complete body. Period photos and blueprints helped, but the hand fabrication required dragged out the process longer than anticipated. The car was supposed to be started at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, but century-old race cars do not always abide by schedules. Goodwood came and went, but despite the superhuman efforts of Pittaway's team in the days leading up to the event, the Beast remained silent.
Then, in late November, the planets aligned. With a Herculean pull of the starter crank handle, the massive four-cylinder engine sputtered to life with a deafening roar, belching fire, smoke and sparks from its open exhaust ports, like the mechanical demon it was. For those in attendance, it must have been a truly impressive (and somewhat terrifying) experience; after all, there are no modern piston engines that could prepare one for the sheer violence and excess of the Fiat's four.
The process of restoration has been beautifully documented by British filmmaker and photographer Stefan Marjoram. He's working on a slightly longer film about the Fiat's rebirth, due in February of 2015, but the three-minute short below does an outstanding job of setting the stage. It is, in a word, captivating, and paints an all-too-brief picture of the effort that went into reawakening the Beast of Turin.
Bravo, Stefan, and we'll be watching for the release of the full video in 2015.
A no-sale in Monterey, 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB sells for $2.15 million in Anaheim
1965 Ferrari 275 GTB. Photos by David Newhardt, courtesy of Mecum Auctions, unless otherwise indicated.
Even vintage Ferraris can get lost in the shuffle during Monterey Car Week, and when a well-documented 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB crossed the stage at Mecum's Monterey sale, bidding stalled at $1.8 million, which failed to meet the car's reserve. When the Ferrari rolled across the block in Anaheim, it was the star of the show instead of just another 1960s Ferrari, and bidders responded enthusiastically, driving the price to $2.15 million and making it the auction's top seller.
With styling by Pininfarina (based on the 250 GTO), the Scaglietti-built 275 GTB models are stunning automobiles in both short nose (early production) and long nose versions. They're historically significant, too, being the first road-going Ferraris to offer a fully independent rear suspension, but improvements to handling didn't stop there. The Columbo-designed 3.3-liter V-12 was rated at 280 horsepower, and mounted as far back in the chassis as possible for improved weight distribution. Instead of a conventional transmission, the 275 utilized a rear transaxle, again for improved balance. The result was a coupe equally at home on road or track, even if the 275 GTB was not purpose-built for racing.
Mecum claims that chassis 07633 was delivered new to David Rumbaugh, son of the actress and socialite (and C.W. Post cereal fortune heiress) Dina Merrill. If correct, the car left the family's ownership in 1972, a year before Rumbough's tragic death in a boating accident off of New York's Long Island.
The car's second owner would retain possession for 31 years, and in 1999 funded a complete restoration. Proof of the work's quality was delivered in the car's first outing, where it took second place in Class 3 at the Ferrari Club of America's National Concours d'Elegance.
The consignor had owned the car for the past decade, and used it "sparingly" according to the auction house. Despite the decade and a half age of the restoration, the car remained remarkably well-preserved, and as a "short nose" 275 GTB certainly had no trouble attracting interested bidders in Anaheim. Waiting for this auction proved to be the right move for the consignor, as the $2.15 million selling price was $350,000 more than the high bid in August at Monterey.

Other cars in the Anaheim top-10 included a 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition, which sold for $375,000; a 2005 Ford GT with just seven miles on the odometer, which sold for $340,000; a 2005 Ford GT, which sold for $250,000; a 1953 Cadillac Eldorado, which sold for $210,000; a 1994 Porsche 911 Speedster, which sold for $175,000; a 1954 Buick Skylark, which sold for $132,500; a 1970 Plymouth Superbird, which sold for $127,500; a 1963 Volkswagen 23-window microbus, which sold for $125,000; and a 1968 Shelby G.T. 500KR convertible, which sold for $122,500.
The auction's best deal? This 1978 Dodge Diplomat, which sold for $750.
The auction wasn't just for high-rollers, either. Bidder with smaller bank accounts took home a 1972 Volkswagen Beetle convertible, which sold for $5,500; a 1966 International Travelall, which sold for $5,000; a 1975 Mercedes-Benz 280C, which sold for $5,000; a 1972 Ford F100 Custom pickup, which sold for $5,000; a 1983 Porsche 928S, which sold for $3,500; a 1953 Austin A30 Seven, which sold for $2,750; a 1985 Nissan 300ZX, which sold for $2,500; a 1985 Lincoln Town Car, which sold for $2,500; a 1988 Alfa Romeo Spider, which sold for $2,250; and a 1978 Dodge Diplomat, which sold for $750.

Four-Links – Corvette SS replica, The Bus, auto air conditioning's 75th anniversary, Tatra sports car
* In response to the bit in last week's Four-Links discussing the potential for restoring concept cars, commenter andy reminded us of Mel Francis's Mel's Concept Garage on Flickr, where Mel is currently showcasing the Corvette SS replica project (among others) he's currently working on.
* Paul Kirchner's often surreal, more often plain bizarre comic strip "the bus" ran for several years in the pages of Heavy Metal magazine, and Truque this week posted a few of the strips. For those of you looking for more, Kirchner has since released a book compiling all of the strips.
* This past week marked the 75th anniversary of the introduction of the 1940 Packards at the Chicago Auto Show. And because the 1940 Packards were the first to offer factory-installed air conditioning, this past week also marks the official 75th anniversary of in-car air conditioning. A few years back, Automotive News had a rundown of all the fits and starts that came along with trying to get closed cars cooler inside than out.
* Tatra built a sports car? Well, one, at least. The Petrol Stop this week showed us what would've been a nice little eastern European sports coupe with a front-mounted air-cooled V-8 had Tatra gone into production with the JK 2500. Instead, only one prototype was built in the early 1950s, and after a few years as a daily driver went missing.
* Finally, this week we saw a comprehensive look at the downfall of Bertone from Road & Track, which includes a few interesting tidbits, including the fact that GM tried to buy the coachbuilding firm in the 1990s, to go along with the main assertion that the company was mismanaged into both irrelevancy and insolvency by one simple act of Nuccio Bertone's.

3 ways to reduce your burn rate
Learning how to make and spend money wisely can hugely benefit startup leaders.
Startups are companies set up to test business models developed around new ideas. Typically they have fewer than fifty employees. Startups are usually made up of developers and designers – people who write code and those who can design a consumer-friendly interface. To build their idea startups work with investors. Investors are drawn to startups because the cost is low and despite higher risk, can offer significantly higher returns if the idea becomes popular. Once funded, startups can grow quickly while maintaining low costs and limited labor.

Select Local Merchants
Ocean ExploriumRead MoreIt would take months of sea travel, extensive scuba certifications, and fluency in several crustacean dialects to find—let alone interact with—all the creatures found in Ocean Explorium's interactive exhibits. The science center emphasizes environmental stewardship and scientific literacy through several educational habitats such as touch tanks of local aquatic wildlife—including New Bedford's world-famous scallops and schools of rays and sharks. The Living Laboratory exhibit brings visitors face to face with sea creatures such as baby sharks, shark egg cases, coral farm, and moon jellies. Beyond the up-close encounters with denizens of the deep, Ocean Explorium also enlightens patrons with a variety of non-living displays. The Explorer's Zone presents scientific experiments that reveal the workings of the natural world through hands-on exhibits themed around different weekly topics, and Discovery Bay enthralls children aged eight or younger with games, puzzles, and a sand and water table. Advanced computers construct a three-dimensional image of our home planet as it appears from outer space in the Science on a Sphere exhibit, displaying global weather patterns in real time or replaying natural phenomena from history, such as the time it rained men.174 Union St.New Bedford, MA US
The New Bedford Museum of GlassRead MoreThanks to lines such as Royal Flemish and Crown Milano, the city of New Bedford rightfully earned the nickname ?Art Glass Headquarters of the Country? by the late 19th century. With 7,000 objects to its name, The New Bedford Museum of Glass not only celebrates the area?s rich heritage, but also spans more than 3,000 years of worldwide glassmaking history. Through its permanent collection and rotating exhibits, the museum highlights everything from Victorian glass syrup bottles to 19th-century glass cigar holders. Our Nation?s Heritage in Glass encompasses 500-plus pieces of American-themed glass, including Bicentennial glass and the glass teeth George Washington wore in battle. Along with its rich displays, the museum?s in-house libraries delves deeper into global glassmaking with more than 8,000 volumes in 10 languages.61 Wamsutta StNew Bedford, MA US
The Studio of Deenie PacikRead MoreArtist Deenie Pacik, armed with 14 years of crafting fused-glass artwork, 18 years of creating stained-glass, and nine years teaching at schools such as Franklin Pierce University, imparts her expertise during a variety of classes. Working out of Deenie's fully equipped home studio, small groups of students learn to fuse dichroic glass and powder into everything from shiny pendants to new work boots for Cinderella's cousin. Projects transform into translucent objets d?art in the glass kiln, which, as Deenie tells the Warwick Beacon, heats glass at three times the temperature used to bake a pizza, or eight billion times the heat used to glaze an ice sculpture.25 Hartford Pl.Warwick, RI US
Museum of Natural History & PlanetariumRead MoreA visit to the Museum of Natural History & Planetarium will take you on a journey to discover the world around you and beyond. Open since 1896, the museum houses natural history and cultural collections, from local sources and from around the world. Aside from the main exhibits and housing the state's only public planetarium, the museum features programs as well as scientific and cultural events aimed at children, adults, families, and scouts, thus living up to its reputation as "The People's University."1100 Elmwood AvenueProvidence, RI US
The Risd MuseumRead MoreRISD Museum?s first public galleries were brought to life in 1893, and since then, the museum has become a powerhouse of creativity. Hosting a collection of 84,000 objects of fine, decorative art from eras both ancient and modern, the museum entices eyes with multitudes of exhibits and collections. With admission to the museum?s galleries, which are spread throughout five buildings, artoholics get a day to explore indoors and avoid the sun during fall, when it is a mere 75 feet from Earth's surface.224 Benefit StProvidence, RI US
The Spot on ThayerRead MoreEase into the day with a 6:45 a.m. Vinsyana yoga class with rising-sun salutations on Mondays or empower your prettiest part with a belly-dance class on Thursdays. Hula-hoop dance and urban hip-hop bring rhythm, grace, and choreography into any weekly routine or routine of salvaging dryer lint to stuff a spare mattress. New classes are added to The Spot's schedule about every six weeks, so fast learners can mix and match their five to master the fancy footwork of a wide array of dances (all classes must be redeemed within five weeks of attending the first session.)286 Thayer StreetProvidence, RI US

Former WWE Star Arrested On Battery Charge, WWE Referee Entered Rehab
by Amish Patel - November 24, 2011
— Former WWE talent Sean Christopher Haire (a/k/a Sean O'Haire), 40, was arrested on Wednesday in Savannah, Georgia on a simple battery charge, according to the official website of the Chatham County Sheriff's Office.
This is not the former WCW World Tag Team Champion's first run-in with the law. In 1992, Haire was arrested for assault. In 2006, Haire was found guilty of assaulting a woman at "Club Hypnotic" in June 2004. He was also involved in a fight in Hilton Head on March 30, 2007, in which he sustained fractures to his face and skull, including his orbital bone. In September 2009, Haire was arrested for allegedly choking his girlfriend.
— Brian James (a/k/a Road Dogg), who now works as a producer for WWE, stated during a recent "shoot" interview that not only has the organization paid to put him in a rehabilitation center, but has paid for at least one stint for all three of his brothers—Scott, Steve and Brad.
Scott is WWE referee Scott Armstrong. He returned to the organization in February 2011 after being released one year prior. Steve briefly competed for WWE in 1992 as Lance Cassidy. Brad was under contract to WWE in 2006 and 2007. He made sporadic appearances on ECW as a guest commentator.

Areas radars show widespread convection invof eastern terminals, but this activity is on the wane w/loss of diurnal heating. However, a cold front moving thru the Texas Panhandle is expected to fire things up again overnight, and TAFs will be further updated for convection as warranted. Forecast soundings develop stratus over the east overnight, w/IFR cigs expected at KMAF/KHOB, and MVFR at KCNM as the front arrives there. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 201 PM CDT MON JUL 6 2015/ DISCUSSION... Upper ridge centered over S TX this morning will shift westward across Mexico. A broad upper ridge will remain across the southern tier of states Tuesday as an upper low moves ashore the West Coast. This low will slowly wobble eastward before lifting northward. However in the mean time conditions are coming together with the potential for a heavy rain event. A weak cold front should move down into the area tonight and slowly sag southward. The front looks to hang up over the area early Tuesday but may bridge southward as surface ridge pushes southward. This means much of the area may not see a strong passage but the wind may slowly come around to the east. There is a heavy rain potential... there is good low level moisture with dewpts in the 60s and even into low 70s south and east. MAF 12z sounding had a PW of 1.57 inches and model soundings show high PW will continue through Tuesday. By noon storms had developed over the Davis Mountains and these have spread east across the Trans Pecos. This is the location with the stronger theta-e axis. Based on model qpf this precip may expand north ward through the late afternoon. Additional rain should begin tonight mainly out west and then spread eastward across the area as the front moves south. Spent a long time considering a flash flood watch for tonight or Tuesday but decided at least for tonight the heaviest rain should be north of the area so will not issue. Lea County and the Northern Permian Basin will be closest to the area of concern for flash flooding tonight... but should only get brushed with the heavier rain. However for tomorrow the potential still exists for heavy rain over the eastern Permian Basin as a decent shortwave arrives and provides upper support for heavy rain. Do have mention of heavy rain in forecast for northern CWA tonight and eastern CWA Tuesday and will continue to highlight flash flood potential in the HWO. A Flash Flood Watch could still be needed Tuesday for the Eastern Permian Basin but need to see how rain develops tonight. Some rain may linger into Wednesday but then after that pops should be on the decrease and mainly confined to the higher elevations. Temperatures are being affected by the increased moisture/cloud cover as overnight lows are remaining much higher. Tuesday should be cooler with the weak front... but it could turn out much cooler if it stays rainy/cloudy all day. Will go below guidance Tuesday and may still not be low enough. Temperatures will slowly climb Wednesday through the end of the week. && .MAF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NM...NONE. TX...NONE. && $$ 44

I'm sitting on a plane today, traveling through the air as a result of some very bright people that enabled this mode of transportation. I'm doing so safely, thanks to strict airport security practices. Many years ago, when more stringent airport security screening was established, I would listen to fellow travelers complain about the invasion of privacy, the maybe not-so-random searches and the added expense tacked on to everything. And the lines in security, oh the lines! However, as a frequent traveler I'm forever thankful for the process we flyers have to go through to ensure the safest passage possible. Continue reading

Nose: Initially acacia honey but then opening up to apricots, bananas and pears. With time a floral elegance presents itself.
Palate: Sweet but cut with warm spice. Lemon zest announces itself with the addition of water and a slight saltiness plays with this dram's sweet character.
Finish: Seville orange, Sauternes and an once of honey in a crisp finish.
Overall: Yet another successful cask-finish from this island distillery.

Arran + Sauternes = Not an ideal mix. I found this whisky to be a bit harsh. The spirit is obviously young, and the balance just isn't there with the Sauternes finish.
21st November 2014
We found lemon, apricot and honey in the nose with a promise of sweetness......we loved the discovery of warm spices and marmalade and after a slight lingering saltiness. We recommend this for its surprises and complexity.....definitely on our list!

Crime, courts and legal issues in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin
TV station asks court to unseal McGee docs
In a filing that showed up in federal court yesterday, a Milwaukee TV station interjected itself into the Mike McGee Jr. case with a formal request to unseal reports filed by the jailed alderman, who marked his 59th day behind bars today.
WISN-TV's parent corporation, Hearst-Argyle Television Inc., filed a motion Tuesday asking U.S. District Judge Charles N. Clevert to unseal the financial affidavit McGee had to fill out request a federal public defender. Here's a blank copy of the form, called a CJA 23.
In the memorandum filed with the Hearst-Argyle request to unseal McGee's CJA 23 form, the corporation's lawyers contend (on page 9 of the filing) that the paperwork ought to be unsealed because the case "is of great interest to the public. The prosecution of Mr. McGee is a source of controversy, with some people arguing that the prosecution is politically motivated, while others argue that he is receiving preferential treatment. Some in the public are skeptical of the assignment of a public defender to Mr. McGee, given the fact that he is an alderman receiving a salary of approximately $71,000 form the taxpayers. ... Public monitoring is essential to foster the important values of quality, honesty and respect for the system."
WISN reporter Colleen Henry, who is an attorney, filed her own affidavit accompanying the corporation's lawyers' memorandum, using much of the same language and pointing out that four other aldermen paid for private defense lawyers in recent years, and that the station filed its motion "to determine why his (McGee's) case is different from those of other aldermen who hired private attorneys."
It's not unusual for media agencies to file similar requests — the filing notes three similar cases where newspapers filed similar requests, two of which apparently succeeded — or for other media agencies to join the fight.
In this case, the motions deadline is Aug. 6.

Fun movie to watch if you are a John Wayne fan. The conversations are great. The chemistry among all the stars is what made
movies of this era fun. It was great.
John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson.....Does it get any better? Just the singing scene makes it a great movie alone. Could use the Duke in today's world.Published 4 days ago by Echo4Mike
