Collector car pioneer Leo Gephart dies at age 85
Photo by Richard Lentinello.
He certainly wasn't the first person to recognize the collectibility of old cars, but Leo Gephart did help lay many of the stones in the foundation of the collector car hobby as it exists today, leading many to mourn his death last week at the age of 85.
Born in 1929 on a farm near Sidney, Ohio, Gephart started working on old cars – including his first, a 1932 Ford roadster – as a teenager during World War II, and through his family's acquaintance with Charles Kettering, soon became involved with the Antique Automobile Club of America. After a stint in the Air Force in his early 20s, Gephart returned to Ohio in the early 1950s, got a car dealer license, and began to sell new Studebakers.
At the same time, though, he also started buying and selling those older cars increasingly being recognized as classics (or Classics, depending on the definition) and took a keen interest in Duesenbergs. He sourced old cars from estate sales, used car auctions, and through word of mouth, but during the 1960s developed another method of buying and selling collector cars.
"He realized that if collectors would travel from state to state looking for old cars at estate sales, a lot of collectors could be expected to show up if a huge number of cars was gathered for sale in one place," Jim Donnelly wrote in his profile of Gephart for the May 2008 issue of Hemmings Classic Car.
So Gephart, prodded on by the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Club, approached Russell Kruse with the idea of transforming the Kruse family's longtime construction equipment auction business into a collector car auction business. Kruse held the first such auction in 1971 behind a Dairy Queen in Auburn, Indiana. Kruse subsequently grew the business into one of the world's largest, helping establish Labor Day in Auburn as one of the anchors on the collector car calendar. RM Auctions – now RM Sotheby's – bought the business and the auction park from Dean Kruse in 2010 and today operates it under the Auctions America banner.
That same year, Gephart approached a pair of car show organizers in Scottsdale, Arizona – Tom Barrett and Russ Jackson, the former Gephart had known from a Cadillac V-16 transaction – and convinced them to also put together a large-scale collector car auction in Scottsdale. Though Scottsdale isn't a town rich in automotive history like Auburn, it does at least offer a preferable winter climate, one that attracted and continues to attract the same sorts of people likely to buy and sell collector cars. Barrett-Jackson has remained in Scottsdale and grown over the years to bring in bidders from all over the world, to inspire other auction houses to conduct their own sales during the same week in January, and to attract live television coverage.
"I grew up with Leo," Craig Jackson said in a statement on Barrett-Jackson's website. "He was an innovator and a visionary whose legacy will remain for years to come. He will be missed."
Along the way, Gephart essentially founded two ancillary industries. He started Frosty's Delivery Services, a car transport company that specialized in collector cars, which he later sold to Robert Pass (who renamed it Passport Transport), and which has since become a subsidiary of FedEx. And he became one of the first people involved in collector cars to offer appraisals on older cars to determine their market value.
"He was one of the three kings of the collector car trade," said concept car collector Joe Bortz, who had known Gephart for decades. "Along with Tiny Gould and Bob Adams in Wisconsin, they were the guys who made the hobby what it is today."
Gephart himself relocated his business to Scottsdale around 1981 and in later years he operated his own auctions and even partnered with other collector car dealers in the area to start an auto museum, though none of those ventures ultimately panned out. In about 2012, citing failing health, he scaled back his collector car business. The phones at the business have since been disconnected.
Carl Grimes's 1954 "De Oldsley," the first NHRA Nationals-qualifying dragster, sells for $22,000

Somebody's gotta be the first. And in September 1955 on an old airstrip that once saw B-26 bombers come and go, that somebody was Carl Grimes, who said he just happened to be first in line for inspections at the first-ever NHRA Nationals in Great Bend, Kansas, with his homebuilt 11-second wagon. While many others followed in Grimes's footsteps as a competitor, nobody ever built another car quite like his "De Oldsley," which sold at auction this week for $22,000.
Grimes, a mechanic from Oklahoma who spent the prewar years racing cars and motorcycles on the Muroc dry lake in California, moved to Arizona after the war to open his own garage. Sometime afterward, the new trend toward drag racing caught his eye and he began organizing midnight street races in and around Phoenix, partly for fun and partly as a way to advertise his services. "It was just a bunch of guys together," he said decades later. "We'd hold our own drag races until someone would call the cops and then we'd scatter. It used to be more like a friendly competition."
In about 1954, he began to put together a car specifically for drag racing, starting with a 1941 De Soto chassis, to which he added most of a 1948 Crosley station wagon body, a 1953 Cadillac 331-cu.in. V-8, a 1950 Oldsmobile rear axle, Model A fenders over the protruding rear wheels, and the grille from a World War II Dodge truck. When he heard that the NHRA planned its first Nationals for the following year in Great Bend, he and Lewis Rogers, his daughter's boyfriend, gassed up the creation and headed east.
The 1955 Nationals were by no means the first organized drag races nor the first NHRA event. Fran Hernandez and Tom Cobbs reportedly met in the first drag race in April 1949 near Santa Barabara, California; the NHRA, formed by Wally Parks in 1951, held its first race a couple years later in Pomona, California. It took the lobbying of the Great Bend Chamber of Commerce—which had found itself with an abandoned air force base and no clear purpose for the property—to convince Parks to bring the first Nationals to that former cowtown and its 8,000-foot runway smack dab in the middle of the country over four days in late September and early October of 1955.
More than 200 cars and 15,000 spectators converged on Great Bend for the Nationals, and though heavy rain cut the event short by a day, only the two-way record runs for the fastest competitors were canceled. Grimes apparently only made one elimination run and lost—he later said that it proved too heavy for serious competition—but he apparently convinced Parks to reschedule the record runs for that November in Phoenix, leading to Grimes's formal association with the NHRA as a regional advisor and as a dragstrip safety advocate.
According to information compiled by collector Tom LaFerriere, Grimes soon afterward built a much faster Fiat powered by a Buick V-8 and using the first known fliptop body, so he gave the dragster to his daughter Sally, who would campaign it in drag races over the next year and apparently with some success. The wagon's best quarter-mile time of 11.15 seconds at 128.93 MPH likely came during this period, when Grimes and Rogers installed a series of V-8s, including a Buick and the triple Stromberg-fed 1954 Oldsmobile 394-cu.in. Rocket V-8 that sits under the hood nowadays. Then in 1956, when Sally and Rogers married, they put it on the street as their everyday car.
Rogers ended up selling the wagon in 1959 and though it made its way to California over the following decades, in 1990 he tracked it down, bought it back, and restored it. He later sold it to Chuck Rahn of Phoenix, and in latter years it made its way to LaFerriere's collection on the East Coast. Grimes, who quit racing in 1961, was later inducted into the NHRA Hall of Fame despite his insistence that the presence of money in drag racing ruined it as a sport.
Offered on Wednesday at no reserve at Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale auction, the dragster sold for $22,000. Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale will continue through Sunday. For more information, visit Barrett-Jackson.com.
Japanese sports car trio, round two: Toyota 2000GT, Nissan Skyline GT-R, and Mazda Cosmo head to auction

With mounds of attention heaped on the trifecta of Japanese sports cars—Nissan Skyline, Mazda Cosmo, and Toyota 2000GT—that sold at the Pebble Beach auctions this past summer, it should come as no surprise that three major auction houses have decided to offer almost the exact same lineup for the upcoming Arizona auctions.
Along with the first public auction sale of a Japanese car for seven figures, to many observers the Pebble Beach auctions marked a sea-change in the collectibility status of Japanese vehicles, a change necessary to attract younger enthusiasts to the collector car scene. While individual Japanese cars had sporadically appeared at auction before then, August was the first time three of the most desirable Japanese cars all came to market in the United States at the same time. With another three coming along all at once again next month, it appears that collectors and auction houses now see the cars as more than a novelty.
What promises to be the most expensive of the three is a 1967 Toyota 2000GT, chassis number MF10 10193, that Gooding plans to offer. According to Gooding's description, the 150-hp 1,988-cc dual overhead-camshaft triple-sidedraft six-cylinder-equipped 2000GT was originally exported to Switzerland, where its first owner bought it in August 1971. Since its current owner bought it in 1982, it has been treated to a full restoration in 1993 and then refurbished earlier this year. Gooding's pre-auction estimate ranges from $900,000 to $1.1 million. The 2000GT that Gooding sold at its Pebble Beach auction carried a pre-auction estimate of $1 million to $1.3 million and sold for $1.155 million.

As it did in August, RM will offer a Skyline 2000GT-R in Arizona, but this time a four-door version of the vaunted Hakosuka. According to RM's description of the GT-R, it's one of 832 GT-R sedans built, making it rarer than the two-door coupes, with which it shares the 160-hp dual overhead-camshaft triple-sidedraft 1,989-cc S20 straight-six and five-speed manual transmission. This particular GT-R, chassis number PGC10-000917, received a full restoration in Japan in 2009, and was imported to the United States within the last three years. While RM sold the two-door Skyline GT-R in August for $242,000 (against a pre-auction estimate of $125,000 to $175,000), it expects the four-door version to sell for $100,000 to $150,000, with no reserve.

Bonhams, which sat out the Japanese car sweepstakes for its Quail Lodge auction during Monterey week, will make up for it with two in Scottsdale: a 1970 Mazda Cosmo and a 1968 Toyota Corona. The Cosmo, chassis number L10B-10900, is one of 1,176 second-series examples with the 128hp 982cc twin-rotor Wankel and five-speed manual transmission. According to the Bonhams description of the Cosmo, it was originally registered in Mazda's home district of Hiroshima, was refurbished in 2011, and has been fitted with Hayashi Racing wheels. The Cosmo that Gooding sold at Pebble Beach sold for $264,000 against a pre-auction estimate of $200,000 to $250,000; Bonhams expects this Cosmo to sell for $140,000 to $180,000.

The Bonhams Toyota Corona, on the other hand, appears to have been sold new in California and remained there ever since. Powered by the 90-hp 1,879-cc 3-RS four-cylinder and two-speed Toyoglide transmission, the 27,000-mile two-door hardtop sat undisturbed for a few decades in a San Francisco garage until the late collector Martin Swig bought it in 2007, according to the Bonhams description. It is scheduled to cross the block with no reserve; Bonhams expects it to sell for $20,000 to $30,000.

Of course, when it comes to Japanese vehicles at auction, the Toyota FJ-40 Land Cruiser has already earned a reputation as a desirable vehicle, reflected in the fact that every major auction house in Arizona next month has at least a pair of FJs on its docket. Bonhams will have two, Gooding will have two, RM will have two, Russo and Steele will have two, and Barrett-Jackson will have no less than 14. Of those with pre-auction estimates, expected sale prices to range from $50,000 to $100,000.
Gooding's Scottsdale auction will take place January 16-17 at the Scottsdale Fashion Square. RM's Arizona auction will take place January 15-16 at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel and Spa in Phoenix. The Bonhams Scottsdale auction will take place January 15 at the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa. Russo and Steele's Scottsdale auction will take place January 14-18. Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale auction will take place January 10-18.
UPDATE (16.January): Bonhams sold the Mazda Cosmo for $110,000, the Toyota FJ40 pictured above for $38,500, and the Toyota Corona for $11,000. RM Auctions sold the Nissan Skyline GT-R sedan for $88,000.
UPDATE (17.January): The Toyota 2000GT failed to meet its reserve price and was not sold.
Jimmy Shine's trendsetting bare metal 1934 Ford pickup heads to auction
Photos courtesy Barrett-Jackson, except where noted.
Long before he became known for his appearances on hot rod-related television shows, long before he started traveling the globe as a hot rodding celebrity, Jimmy Shine set the hot rodding world on its ear with his chopped and channeled 1934 Ford pickup, a hot rod so aggressive and radical that it would take years for other hot rod builders to catch up to its aesthetic. Now that they have, Shine has decided to let the pickup go at auction next month.
The son of a Southern California hot rodder, Shine (which he prefers over Falschlehner, his surname) began building hot rods when he was 14, but it wasn't until 1997, more than a decade later, that he would begin the build of his pickup. Starting with a 1934 Ford cab and frame that he bought for $500 out of a friend's backyard (and that had previously weathered for some time in a dry riverbed), Shine said he built it to work out an idea he had for what a pickup of that era should look like.
Photos courtesy Jimmy Shine.
"I wanted something that was low-slung, with a lot of nostalgia period pieces on it," he said. "I did a lot of drawings on paper napkins. I was always thinking about what I would have built had I been alive and racing in postwar Southern California—what would I have learned from those motor pool guys who came back from the war?" In particular, he said he took inspiration from Roy Desbrow's Ford pickup, a full-fendered hot rod sporting a mild chop and channel. "Desbrow improved the look, but you couldn't really tell if you didn't know it wasn't stock. That's just smart."
So Shine kicked up the rear frame rails 18 degrees and added a 1940 Ford crossmember and 1940 Ford leaf spring pack in the back. Up front, he installed a Model A crossmember and designed a suicide front suspension, with the solid axle positioned suicide-style out in front of the grille shell and the 1934 Ford transverse leaf spring mounted to the modified radius rods. To make it all work, Shine fabricated a number of items, including the steering arms and all the mounting points.
The fabrication continued when it came time to install the body. He chopped the cab five inches, channeled it six, and fabricated the entire floor and bellypan. For the bed, he pieced together some reproduction Studebaker pieces, some reproduction Ford pieces, and some hand-fabricated pieces; for the grille, he took a 1934 Ford commercial piece, sectioned and channeled it, and then added a peak to the top. Inside, he installed a narrowed 1940 Ford dash, 1940 Ford gauges, 1940 Ford steering wheel, hand-fabricated pedals, and a pair of Air Force-sourced bucket seats.
The engine, a 1949 Ford 8AB flathead V-8, uses a Potvin camshaft, Edelbrock 7.5:1 compression ratio cylinder heads, an Edelbrock dual-carb intake manifold, a pair of Stromberg 97 carburetors, and hand-fabricated zoomie headers. It runs through a 1939 Ford three-speed manual transmission. Initially, Shine fitted Ford wire wheels, but has since switched over to a set of wagon-style wheels he fabricated himself.
As for the paint (or lack thereof), Shine said he intended to paint the pickup black all along. "One of the luxuries I don't have with building cars for my customers is that I have to hand over to them a turnkey car, painted and all," he said. "But I'm kind of a perfectionist, and with my vehicles, I want to drive them and change them even after I've got them on the road, and I don't want to get in there and repaint and repolish everything. So I bolted the truck together and started driving it in raw steel, and the first time I took it out—to the March Meet, driving over the Grapevine in the snow and the mud and the rain—people went berserker over the bare steel. I said, 'So what? I gotta think somebody before me did that,' but a lot of people still credit me for being the first to run a car without any paint at all."
Shine said he didn't set out to build a groundbreaking hot rod. "I certainly didn't reinvent the wheel," he said. "I just took inspiration from a lot of various sources." However, the overall aesthetic of his pickup—elements already enshrined in the hot rod builder's playbook, but remixed with a devil-may-care, chopper-influenced attitude—would go on to set the tone for much of the traditional hot rodding movement over the ensuing 15 years.
"It's been absolutely overwhelming," Shine said of the response to the pickup. "The pickup's had a life of its own—it's been to Japan, all over the world." It's appeared in magazines. It drove around a dry lake in the video for ZZ Top's "I Gotsta Get Paid" a couple of years ago. Fans of the truck have even had its image tattooed on themselves. And the exposure that Shine got through the pickup would help him land roles on automotive-themed reality television shows, including Car Warriors and Hard Shine.
With other builds on his mind, though, Shine said it was time to send the pickup along to a new home, so he's consigned it with Barrett-Jackson for the auction house's Scottsdale event, where the pickup will cross the block with no reserve.
Barrett-Jackson's 2015 Scottsdale auction will take place January 10-18. For more information, visit Barrett-Jackson.com.
UPDATE (17.January): The 1934 Ford pickup hot rod sold for $236,500.
Barrett-Jackson to open Scottsdale, Arizona retail showroom

In case you've missed any of our auction recaps over the past few years, it's safe to say that the market for collector cars is booming, and most major automotive auction firms are enjoying record sales. Looking to capitalize on this success, Barrett-Jackson is taking this one step further with the opening of a 22,500 square foot retail facility in its home town of Scottsdale, Arizona.
Slated for a grand opening on November 14 and 15, the Barrett-Jackson Collection Showroom, located in Old Town Scottsdale, will feature an alternating selection of "premium vehicles which embody the Barrett Jackson brand," according to the company's press release. Showroom division manager Muffy Bennett confirmed that this range will include everything from classic cars through muscle cars, street rods, pro touring cars and even the occasional exotic, roughly equivalent to what one would expect to see at a Barrett-Jackson auction.
To create a "one-stop shopping" experience for consumers, the showroom will also sell a line of restoration products, collector car insurance and branded merchandise, and an onsite service department will offer everything from maintenance and repair (by ASE-certified mechanics) through light reconditioning work.
Those looking to sell a car to Barrett-Jackson can also do so at the new facility, and consignments will be accepted as well. Bennett advises that there's room on the showroom floor for as many as 30 vehicles, though that quantity would be a tight fit and the actual number on display at any given time will likely be lower. Quick turnover, she says, will be the key to success, so models not drawing sufficient interest will quickly be replaced by more marketable offerings. Though the showroom will operate separately from the auction side of the business, customers will still be coached on which alternative is likely to produce the best result for their individual vehicle.
Of the decision to open a physical location, Barrett-Jackson president Steve Davis said, "Expanding into this market is a great way to promote our collection, and it also provides our fans with more exposure to Barrett-Jackson. We cannot wait to watch this grow and encourage the passion we all share for the collector car hobby."

Barrett-Jackson Cup at Hot August Nights increases to $30,000
Last year, the Barrett-Jackson Cup debuted at Reno's Hot August Nights celebration, paying $20,000 to the winner of the Ultimate Best in Show award. For 2014, the auction house has increased the payout to $30,000, and the grand prize winner will walk away with more than just cash and a trophy.
Last year's purse for all Barrett-Jackson Cup finalists totaled $40,000, but this year the cash payout will be $70,000, with the winner receiving $30,000, the first runner-up $18,000, the second runner-up $10,000, the third runner-up $7,000 and the fourth runner-up $5,000. In addition, the Ultimate Best in Show winner will receive the personalized Barrett-Jackson Cup; a GM crate engine and transmission package, worth $15,000; a Waterloo tool chest filled with Craftsman tools, worth $6,000; a credit from Reliable Transportation, worth $5,000; and a selection of products from Adam's Polish, worth $1,000.
In all, the Ultimate Best in Show winner will take home a total of $57,000 in cash and prizes, with the runners-up also receiving prizes from event sponsors. Finalists will also get their Andy Warhol-guaranteed 15 minutes of fame, as the awards will be televised on the National Geographic Channel.
Those wishing to participate must register for Hot August Nights and the downtown Reno Show-n-Shine events leading up to the main event. Judges Bobby Alloway (Alloway's Hot Rod Shop), Pete Chapouris (So-Cal Speed Shop), and Bob Millard (International Show Car Association) will select 25 semi-finalists from the cars on display at the Show-n-Shines, and the four finalists and winner will be chosen from this pool.

Ron Pratte to sell off entire collection, including Futurliner
Photos courtesy Barrett-Jackson.
After spending more than 10 years and millions of dollars buying dozens of rare and one-off vehicles at auction, developer Ron Pratte has now decided to liquidate his entire collection at auction.
Known largely as the bidder in the front row at every Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction, Pratte, of Chandler, Arizona, reportedly got his start in collector cars when he bought 52 vehicles at the 2003 Scottsdale auction. The founder and former CEO of Pratte Development Company – who has an estimated net worth of $350 million – Pratte has set auction records with several of his purchases, including the $4.1 million he spent in 2006 on a GM Futurliner, one of 21 built and nine to still exist, and the $5.5 million he spent a year later on the last remaining 1966 Shelby Cobra Super Snake.
Other significant cars in his collection include the 1954 Pontiac Bonneville concept car, which Pratte bought in 2006 for $3.04 million; the last Sting Ray, a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette coupe that Pratte bought in 2007 for $660,000; the 1951 Crosley fire truck that Pratte bought in 2010 for $110,000; and the first production Ford Thunderbird, which Pratte bought in 2009 for $660,000. Though Pratte never publicly showed his collection and has refused to give interviews, he has reportedly allowed a select few to view the collection, portions of which can be seen in a Speed TV video from 2012.
Barrett-Jackson, which will handle the sale of Pratte's collection at its 2015 Scottsdale auction, has yet to release a full inventory of the collection, a total count of the cars in the collection, or Pratte's reason for liquidating his collection. In 2012, Barrett-Jackson handled the sale of 15 vehicles from Pratte's collection, including a Tucker 48 that set a world record by selling for a total of $2.915 million.
Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale auction will take place January 10-18, 2015. For more information, visit Barrett-Jackson.com.
UPDATE (2.June 2014): Thanks to photos of Pratte's collection from reader Richard Pederson, we're getting a clearer picture of the vehicles in the collection and this headed to auction. Among the vehicles we spotted were a number of Boyd Coddington street rods – including the Aluma Tub, Chezoom, Whatthehaye, a 1955 Chevrolet, and the flat red Model T coupe – a Viper-powered Chrysler Airflow, the Howard Hughes 1953 Buick Roadmaster, at least a couple Plymouth Superbirds, a Motion Camaro, a Yenko Chevelle, a Shelby-ized Cougar, a Boss 429 Mustang, a 1968 Shelby G.T.500 KR convertible, a fuelie 1958 Chevrolet convertible, a couple Hemi 'Cudas, a 1970 LS6 Chevelle, and more. See if you can find all the cars in the Barrett-Jackson results from previous auctions.
UPDATE (17.January): The Futurliner sold for a hammer price of $4,000,000, plus another $650,000 in donations,with all proceeds going to the Armed Forces Foundation. The 1966 Shelby Cobra Super Snake bid to a high of $4.7 million, but failed to meet its reserve price and was not sold.
UPDATE (20.January): Bidding on the 1966 Shelby Cobra Super Snake continued after the car left the block, and it ultimately sold for a fee-inclusive price of $5.1 million.
UPDATE (23.January): Barrett-Jackson reported that the entire collection sold for a combined $40.44 million.
Linda Vaughn's 1979 Hurst/Olds sells for $200,000

Linda Vaughn, better known as Miss Hurst, still has what it takes to get people's attention. Climbing aboard a replica of the 1969 Oldsmobile 442 Hurst Shifter convertible (complete with trunk platform and nine-foot golden Hurst shifter) on Friday night, she helped the car reach a sale price of $200,000, with proceeds going to benefit the Darrell Gwynn Foundation. A day later, the 1979 Hurst/Oldsmobile once presented to Vaughn for her service to the company also sold for $200,000, with this sale's proceeds going to benefit cancer research.
The 1969 Oldsmobile Hurst Shifter convertible sold was a replica of the original car that once carried Miss Hurst at drag strips coast to coast. Built by Thornton Motors of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, the car featured the same white with Firefrost Gold stripes as the original, and packed a period-correct 455-cu.in. V-8 mated to a recalibrated Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 transmission (shifted, of course, with a Hurst shifter). By far its most noticeable features, however, were the Hurst Armed Forces Club logos on the doors, along with the trunk-mounted stage platform and oversize golden T-handle shifter, which are presumably removable to accommodate conventional garage door clearances. When the hammer dropped on Friday night, bidding had reached $200,000 (with the usual 10 percent buyer's fees waived), putting the 1969 Oldsmobile Hurst Shifter replica solidly into the auction's top 10 list.

The 1979 Hurst/Oldsmobile was one of the final vehicles given to Vaughn by the Hurst Corporation, and Miss Hurst reportedly used the car as a daily driver for a period of years. Based on the Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais, the Hurst/Oldsmobile came to market with the special two-tone paint, Hurst/Olds emblems, gold-finished aluminum wheels, gold-painted sport mirrors, a Hurst Dual-Gate shifter and a 350-cu.in. V-8 mated to a Turbo Hydra-Matic 350 transmission. Purchased for $270,000 at Barrett-Jackson's 2014 Scottsdale sale (again to raise money for cancer research), the car was re-donated for the Palm Beach auction, where it brought an additional $200,000 (with buyer's fees waived) for The Cancer Research Fund at TGEN.
1946 Ford Sportsman convertible.
Other cars rounding out the sale's top 10 list included the first 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, which sold for charity for $1,000,000; the first 2015 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, which sold for charity for $500,000; a 1935 Packard 1207 V-12 Convertible Coupe, which sold for $330,000 including buyer's fees; a 2013 Ford Mustang fastback from the movie Need For Speed, which sold for charity for $300,000; a 2005 Ford GT with less than 1,000 miles, which sold for $242,000 including fees; a 1946 Ford Sportsman convertible, which sold for $209,000 including fees; a 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder, which sold for $181,500 including fees; and a 1968 Shelby GT500 convertible, which sold for $165,000 including fees.
1967 Mercedes-Benz 250S.
Those of more modest means could have taken home a 1979 Cadillac Seville with less than 34,000 miles, which sold for $9,075 (all prices including fees); a 1976 MGB convertible, fresh from a recent restoration, which sold for $7,700; a 1984 BMW 633 CSi with a five-speed manual transmission, which sold for $5,500; a 1967 Mercedes-Benz 250S four-door sedan, complete with its original paint, which sold for $5,170; a 1969 Lincoln Continental Mark III, reportedly stored for 35 years, which sold for $4,400; or a 1966 Chevrolet Corvair custom, which sold for $2,860.

I just found my 1969 GTO Judge 23 years after I sold it
Photo by Jeff Koch.
Have you ever wondered what became of a car that you sold years ago? I have. When I was the editor of High Performance Pontiac magazine, I wrote an editorial for the September 2012 issue regarding different methods that readers could employ to track down a car that they had previously sold. I used the 1969 GTO Judge I had owned from 1988 into the early 1990s as an example.
I purchased it in New York, but the car was originally sold from a dealer in Bergen County, New Jersey, just a few miles from some towns in which I lived for many of my formative years. In fact, I remember going to the same dealership in 1974 with my mom and dad when they nearly traded in our bright red 1968 Cutlass S convertible for an equally stunning 1970 Grand Prix – small world.
The Judge was an early build car with a shipping date of February 4, 1969. Carousel Red with black interior and exposed headlamps, it also had a four-speed, Safe-T-Track, disc brakes, a hood tach with Rally gauges and a few other options.
I bought it for about $3,700. It had its Judge stripes, graphics and rear spoiler, fresh bodywork and paint and a rechromed rear bumper. The Endura nose, however, was cracked and peeling. Its original engine had already been replaced with another Pontiac 400, all of the Ram Air components were missing, and the hood tach would light up, but rarely operate. The Judge was a decent driver that needed work.
Being in my early 20s, I was in college, had a full-time job and already had a 1967 GTO project in process. A few years after I bought The Judge, I needed a dependable daily driver. Judges had increased in value through the 1980s, so I was concerned about it being stolen or damaged if I drove it more regularly. Even back then, it was not a car that you would voluntarily park at a North Jersey shopping mall and still expect to be declared legally sane afterward.
Finally I decided to sell it – not surprisingly – at the worst possible time. It was during the recession following the first Gulf War, which also perfectly coincided with my college graduation. Pundits of the collector car hobby were predicting a substantial regression of muscle car values. I even had a guy show me a copy of a car magazine editorial predicting the muscle car's downfall only to justify his low-ball offer on The Judge.
I ultimately traded it for a very clean daily-driven 1977 Trans Am and a raft of desirable parts for my 1967 GTO project: Rally gauges, power seat, tilt column, hood, front fenders and much more. The Judge went to its new owner, and I never saw it again.
In 2012, by chance while looking for some tax information in old boxes, I found a 1988 registration (above) for The Judge. Finally, after all these years, I had a VIN. I ordered a VIN and Information Packet from PHS Automotive Services. In it was a copy of the factory invoice (below), dealer order form, The Judge press release, quick reference specifications for decoding and a powertrain chart, among other info.
I plugged the VIN into an Internet search, but that turned up nothing, which prompted me to write the editorial in HPP. Here's the excerpt regarding The Judge.
I'm publishing the VIN for my Judge in the hope that someone out there in Pontiac-land has it – 242379G127904. Don't worry, I'm not trying to buy it back from you. I just would like to know what happened to it after I traded it. Has it been restored? Is it awaiting restoration? Did it become a parts car? If you would like to contact me and allow me to share that info with the readers, great! If, however, you prefer its whereabouts and your identity to remain confidential, that's fine too.
The response…crickets.
I resigned myself to the fact that my Judge had become someone else's unfinished project, was parted out, or its owner didn't read the editorial or didn't want to come forward. Regardless, I was little further along in my quest than before I found the VIN.
Though I hadn't forgotten about my Judge, my new work priorities at Hemmings and my current cars' needs were more pressing. Recently, however, I got an email from John Wallace of Wallace Racing and the Judge Registry letting me know that my Judge had gone across the auction block at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale in January 2014 and sold for $77,000. "Surprise," doesn't accurately convey my feelings, as the hair stood up on the back of my neck while I was reading the email.
John was right, the VIN matched and The Judge, which was described by the auction company as having had a restoration and a "rebuilt and correct but non-original Ram Air III engine," was in fact my old Judge.
Coincidentally, part of my work at Hemmings includes covering auctions, so there was a chance that I could actually have been at that auction and looked at my Judge. But, it gets stranger. Hemmings West Coast Associate Editor, Jeff Koch, was the one who had covered the auction and afterward had told me that there were no fewer than eight Carousel Red Judges there. For the April 2014 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines Auction Action, he had photographed only one – my Judge – without ever knowing it had been mine. Again – it's a small world.
I'm pleased to learn that someone else was able to accomplish what I couldn't back in the early 1990s. The Judge appears to be beautifully restored and features many of the parts that were missing when I had it. I have no regrets, as I still own the GTO and the Trans Am, both of which served as daily transportation and weekend cruisers for years in the 1990s. Are either of them as nice as this restored Judge is right now? No, but I'll get them there… someday.
Award-winning 1967 Corvette L88 sells for record $3.85 million

Almost as soon as the hammer fell on the L88-powered 1967 Chevrolet Corvette convertible that set an auction record at last September's Mecum Dallas auction, Barrett-Jackson began to hype the L88 Corvette coupe that it would offer at this weekend's Scottsdale auction. While both Corvettes benefited from the same legendary racing-derived engine under their hoods, numerous differences existed between the two, ultimately contributing to the latter nabbing that auction record with a $3.85 million sale price.
While Mecum had plenty of provenance on the convertible – including documentation of its time as a drag racer – Barrett-Jackson's description of the coupe included relatively little mention of its history, though the equipment list indicates that it too spent some time on the quarter mile. One of 20 total L88s built in 1967, and reportedly the only red-on-red example, the coupe originally came with RPO A85 shoulder harnesses and a 4.56-geared Positraction rear axle, far too deep for pretty much any other use than drag racing. Like all L88s, the coupe came with its (factory-rated) 430-hp, 427-cu.in. solid-lifter aluminum-head V-8 and a host of other mandatory options, including M22 close-ratio four-speed transmission, C48 heater delete, J56 heavy-duty brakes, and F41 suspension.
Both the convertible and coupe have received regional NCRS Top Flight awards, but the coupe has gone on to win a national Top Flight as well as the NCRS's Duntov Mark of Excellence Award, presented to 1953-1974 Corvettes that have scored at least 97 out of 100 points in NCRS judging.
Offered as part of Barrett-Jackson's with-reserve Salon Collection, the coupe hammered for $3.5 million. Barrett-Jackson's 10 percent buyer's fees brought the total sale price up for $3.85 million, topping the $3.42 million (with buyer's fees) that the convertible sold for. In selling the L88 coupe, the world auction record for Corvettes now returns to Barrett-Jackson, which previously set the record in 2008 with the $1.76 million Pininfarina-bodied 1963 Corvette Rondine.

Nov. 29, 2008
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -Kelly Heath proved an unlikely hero for William and Mary at the Holiday Inn and Suites Express Midtown Thanksgiving Tournament consolation game Saturday night.
After being held to a mere two points for the first 35 minutes, the junior guard scored the Tribe's final eight, including the final six points from either team to push the Tribe past Butler 53-50.
Heath followed a 12-ft.jumper with 3:27 to play with a layup two minutes later to give the Tribe a 51-50 lead - it's first since 35-34 at the 15-minute mark of the second half. She then drained a pair of free throws with 15 seconds left to up the lead to 53-50.
After taking a timeout, Butler missed a pair of three-point attempts - one from Susan Lester with just over four seconds left and one from Bowen as the final buzzer sounded.
With the win the Tribe improves its record to 4-2 on the season, while the Bulldogs fall to 1-4.
William and Mary's Tiffany Benson led all scorers with 15 points, followed by Butler's Lester with 13, Brittany Bowen with 12 and Heath's 10.
Benson also led all players with 13 rebounds. Melanie Thornton led the Bulldogs with 10 boards.
William and Mary jumped out to an 11-0 lead thanks in large part to three consecutive buckets from forward Tiffany Benson.
The Bulldogs didn't manage a point for the games first 5:39, only to score the next nine points. A layup from Susan Lester with just over eight minutes left in the first half gave Butler a brief 15-14 lead.
Butler's rally didn't sit too well with William and Mary coach Debbie Taylor, who called a quick timeout. Her troops responded by scoring 14 of the game's next 18 points to take a 28-18 lead - their largest of the game.
Another run from Butler early in the second half led to a 40-40 tie with just over 12 minutes left.

China Should Buy U.S. Stocks Over Treasuries, Andy Xie Says
July 29 (Bloomberg) -- China should buy U.S. stocks instead of Treasuries as they may be safer investments amid concerns about a U.S. debt default or credit-rating downgrades, according to Andy Xie, an independent economist.
"The U.S. stock market can be a credible alternative," Xie, 50, formerly Morgan Stanley's chief Asia economist in Hong Kong, said in an interview in Bloomberg's Shanghai office yesterday. "U.S. companies are reporting strong earnings and they are selling a lot to emerging markets. Even though U.S. stocks aren't cheap by historical standards, they are a better investment relative to Treasuries."
Standard & Poor's 500 Index companies are beating analysts' earnings estimates for a 10th straight quarter, and the group surpassed its annual per-share profit record of $84.66 from 2007 last year. Analysts see 17 percent income growth in 2011, according to the average estimate in a Bloomberg survey.
The prospect of a U.S. default could spur fund inflows into emerging markets, fueling inflation in countries ranging from China to India, Xie said. The economist said in October 2010 that China would face a "big battle" to contain inflation, which jumped to a three-year high last month. He also accurately predicted in April 2007 that China's equities would tumble.
Loss of Confidence
China is the biggest foreign investor in Treasuries, as holdings reached a record $1.149 trillion in April, a Treasury Department report said in June. Former Chinese central bank adviser Yu Yongding said July 27 that China should reduce its Treasury holdings amid an impasse among policy makers on raising the U.S. government's debt limit.
China's appetite for Treasuries will wane as the country loses confidence in America's government, Stephen Roach, non-executive chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia Ltd., said yesterday in an e-mailed note. Treasuries rose yesterday, pushing 10-year yields to a one-week low, on concern the debt deadlock will damage the economy.
U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, falling short of the votes within his own party needed to increase the debt limit after a night of one-on-one appeals to members, canceled a vote on a plan that Senate leaders pledge to defeat.
President Barack Obama's administration and Democrats and Republicans in Congress are locked in a stalemate over the type of deficit-cutting measures that should be tied to an increase in the nation's $14.3 trillion debt ceiling. The Treasury Department has said the U.S. exhausts its borrowing authority on Aug. 2 and risks going into default. S&P, Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings have said they may downgrade the U.S.'s top AAA rating if lawmakers fail to reach agreement.
'Least Risky'
A newspaper published by China's central bank ran a question-and-answer article on the debt stand-off today that said U.S. bonds are the world's most stable and least risky and only America's debt market could absorb China's investment of foreign-exchange reserves.
The biggest impact on China from a default would be through a global recession, rather than the losses on its currency holdings, which would be "serious," Jin Minmin and Liu Lina, reporters at the Xinhua News Agency wrote. The article, reprinted in the central bank's Financial News, also said that most analysts see the U.S. as unlikely to default.
Seek Safety
"Some have been talking about cutting investment in U.S. debt for years. But the question is what else is safer? Europe is in trouble," said Yang Delong, a Shenzhen-based fund manager at China Southern Fund Management Co. which oversees $21 billion. "China does need a variety of investments but safety should be the priority in any government move."
U.S. Treasuries are a safe investment, Lawrence Lau, head of the Hong Kong-based unit of China Investment Corp., which runs the nation's $300 billion sovereign wealth fund, said at a forum in Beijing on May 12. Equities rose by 12 percentage points last year to 48 percent of its global portfolio as of Dec. 31, CIC said in its annual report released on July 26.
"U.S. bonds are not safe, but people think they are safe," Yu, a researcher at a Beijing institute under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told reporters in Mumbai this week. "That is a mirage."
Concern the U.S. credit rating will be cut has dragged the benchmark S&P 500 Index down 3.3 percent since July 22, the day Boehner, a Republican, walked out of negotiations with Obama. The index has advanced 3.4 percent this year on speculation earnings growth will hold up even as the world's biggest economy slows.
Biggest Beneficiary
Singapore, whose economy grew faster than China's last year, could be one of the biggest beneficiaries as money flows out of Treasuries, according to Bank Julius Baer & Co. and Schroders Plc.
Funds that can only invest in assets with the highest credit rating would reallocate to countries that have that ranking such as Singapore, said Mark Matthews, Singapore-based head of research for Asia at Bank Julius Baer, which manages about $205 billion in client assets. Singapore is rated AAA by Moody's and Fitch.
"Whether U.S. shares are necessarily better than U.S. debt -- maybe," said Lee King Fuei, a Singapore-based fund manager at Schroders, which oversaw $323 billion as of March 31. "If U.S. debt and the dollar is what you are worried about, you should consider the Singapore currency and stocks. Generally, Asian stocks are probably looking much better."
Xie favors U.S. energy and agriculture companies because of rising demand for commodities from emerging markets, he said, without naming any stocks. Since leaving Morgan Stanley, the former World Bank economist has worked as a fund adviser and written opinion articles for Caixin Media Co., a Chinese financial news company, and Bloomberg News.
"China should buy U.S. stocks," Xie said. "Stocks are better than bonds."

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Gemma Charles, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Tuesday, 12 January 2010 09:20AM
Speaking exclusively to Marketing, Liberal Democrat MP Sandra Gidley, who helped collate the Health Select Committee's report on alcohol policy, warned that the £800m-a-year drinks marketing industry could be hit hard unless brands act to combat binge-drinking.
The government is not yet considering a total ban on alcohol advertising, but the report recommends a series of strictures, including a 9pm watershed for TV ads and mandatory on-pack health warnings.
The report claims self-regulation is failing, highlighting digital advertising and sponsorship as problem areas.
However, Gidley warned that policy-makers may ban all alcohol ads to offset criticism from health campaigners.
Industry body the Portman Group is also concerned.
'Regulators and government must continue to take an evidence-based approach,' said its chief executive, David Poley. 'Responsible advertising has, at most, a marginal impact on consumption and harm.'

Rafael van der Vaart is determined to use his vast UEFA Champions League experience to help Tottenham Hotspur earn their first win in Group A tomorrow. The Netherlands playmaker is expected to line up against his compatriots Twente at White Hart Lane, with Spurs manager Harry Redknapp looking to attack as he has injury problems in defence.
"I have a lot of experience in the Champions League," Van der Vaart said. "I have played with Ajax in the Champions League, and Hamburg and Madrid. I hope I can help the team and I'm sure I can."
The 27-year-old has made a positive impact in his four appearances since signing from Real Madrid just before the transfer window closed. "He will do well for us," said Redknapp.
"I have been really impressed with him. He is a good lad, he wants to play, he wants to win, and has got a good attitude. He's got 80 caps for his country and you don't get them if you are a mug, do you?"
Van der Vaart is similar in style to team-mate Luka Modric, but feels the two can play in the same team. "He is a great player," the former said of the Croatian. "I always like to play with good footballers. He plays a little bit in the Dutch way, with good technique, he is fast and I think it is going to fit well."
Adventure the key to home glory
Van der Vaart and Modric have seen their roles increase in importance as Tottenham's Aaron Lennon has suffered a slump in form that has seen him lose his place in the England squad.
"I think it's about confidence," Redknapp opined. "You've got to keep working with him because, when he's on his game, he's a top-class wide player. We need to get him back to doing that again."
Lennon's pace could be important against Twente as Redknapp looks to solve his defensive problems by attacking. Younes Kaboul, William Gallas, Michael Dawson and Jonathan Woodgate are all out, and Ledley King is struggling.
Both Tottenham and Twente drew their opening group game 2-2. The London outfit threw away a two-goal lead away to Werder Bremen, while the Enschede team managed a creditable point at home to reigning champions Inter Milan.
"We have to go for it," Redknapp said. "Getting a win is all important. If we get a win it sets us up nearly nicely. The group is wide open, [with all the sides] on one point each at the moment.
"Inter Milan are obviously the favourites but after that it is wide open. Twente have some good players, we have looked at a couple of their games on video and they have one or two really good players.
"But at home, the crowd are up for it. It will be an intimidating atmosphere like against Young Boys (the Swiss side Spurs beat to reach the group stage proper) - we attacked them and got after them from the start.
"That is what we have to do in these European [home] games, especially in this group. In Milan you might set up differently. If you play some teams you would not be playing 4-4-2 or you would get ripped to pieces, but we are at home this week."
Jermain Defoe is out of action with an ankle injury, with Redknapp admitting his side are missing the England striker's movement in the penalty area. "We haven't really got that player at the moment," he said. "Someone sharp whose going to make little runs away from defenders for them to play people in. But I think the squad's strong."

that is more directly relevant to everyday clinical decisions. Stewart views the EHR as a transforming technology and suggests several ways in which appropriate design and utilization of this tool and surrounding support systems can allow researchers to tap into and learn from the heterogeneity of patients, treatment effects, and the clinical environment to accelerate the generation and application of evidence in a learning healthcare system.
Perhaps one of the most substantial considerations will be how these quicker, practice-based opportunities to generate evidence might affect evidentiary standards. Steven Pearson's paper outlines how the current process of assessing bodies of evidence to inform the coverage decision process might not be able to meet future needs, and the potential utility of a means to consider factors such as clinical circumstance in the process. He discusses possible unintended consequences of approaches such as Coverage with Evidence Development (CED) and suggests concepts and processes associated with coverage decisions in need of development and better definition. Finally, Robert Galvin discusses the employer's dilemma of how to get true innovations in healthcare technology to populations of benefit as quickly as possible but guard against the harms that could arise from inadequate evaluation. He suggests that a "cycle of unaccountability" has hampered efforts to balance the need to foster innovation while controlling costs, and discusses some of the issues facing technology developers in the current system and a recent initiative by General Electric (GE), UnitedHealthcare, and InSightec to apply the CED approach to a promising treatment for uterine fibroids. Although this initiative has potential to substantially expand the capacity for evidence generation while accelerating access and innovation, challenges to be overcome include those related to methodology, making the case to employers to participate, and confronting the culture of distrust between payers and innovators.

Intermountain Healthcare
Quality improvement was introduced to health care in the late 1980s. Intermountain Healthcare, one of the first groups to attempt clinical improvement using these new tools, had several early successes (Classen et al. 1992; James 1989 [2005, republished as a "classics" article]). While those experiences showed that Deming's process management methods could work within healthcare delivery, they highlighted a major challenge: the results did not, on their own, spread. Success in one location did not lead to widespread adoption, even among Intermountain's own facilities.

Reviewing instant replay's controversial playoff history
The lines between "reviewable" and "nonreviewable" plays as instant replay applies remained murky this regular season, presenting the prospect of more historic controversy this postseason, Mike Sando writes.
Updated: January 5, 2008, 5:11 PM ETBy Mike Sando | ESPN.com
The football referee in the sandwich-shop commercial steps forward, turns on his microphone and delivers a comical admission to an imaginary crowd:"I totally blew that call. In fact, it wasn't even close. But don't worry, I'll penalize the other team for no good reason in the second half, to even things up."
Suffice to say, that one did not come from Mike Pereira's office. Pereira, the NFL's officiating director, does have a sense of humor, however. He still chuckles over ...

Home > Health Insurance > Frequently Asked Questions > Dependent Coverage FAQs
Q. How long can my child be covered under my policy?
A. If your policy provides coverage for dependent children, your policy must cover your child until he or she turns 26. This is true regardless of your child's financial independence, residency with you or any other person, student status, or employment. If your coverage is through a group health plan that began before January 1, 2014 and qualifies as a grandfathered health plan, your plan may exclude coverage for your adult child who is not 26 if that child is eligible to enroll in a different group health plan.
Back to Top
Q. When can I add my adult child to my policy?
A. You may add an adult child when your policy is renewed. If you coverage is through your employer, please contact your employer for more information on how to add a dependent at renewal time.
If your coverage is through an individual policy (a policy not offered through an employer), Dean Health Plan will notify you of this option during the renewal process – approximately 30-45 days prior to the renewal date.
You may also be able to add your child outside of the renewal date if there is a qualifying event.
Q. How can I add my adult child to my policy?
Q. If my dependent turns 26 before my renewal, will you terminate him or her?
A. If your coverage is through your employer, your adult dependent will lose coverage when your plan is renewed. For example, if your group renews on March 1, 2013, your 26-year-old dependent will be covered through February 28, 2014.
If your coverage is through an individual policy, your adult dependent will at least be covered through the end of day in which they turn 26. If you purchased your individual coverage through healthcare.gov, your adult dependent may be covered through December 31 of the year in which he or she turns 26 because healthcare.gov does not currently have the functionality to terminate dependents mid-year.
Q. Do I have to include my adult child on my policy?
A. No. The new mandates require insurance companies to extend dependent coverage to include adult children, but parents have the choice of whether or not they wish to cover their adult children.
Q. My adult child is on COBRA continuation coverage. Can I cover him or her on my insurance?
A. Yes, as long as your adult child meets the eligibility requirements.
Q. Does this change affect me if I have a disabled adult child?
A. Yes. This means that we do not need to confirm the disabled status of your child until he or she turns age 26.
Q. Can my dependent be covered on my policy after returning from active duty in the military?
A. If your child was under age 27 and a full-time student at an institution of higher education when he or she was called to federal active duty, he or she may be covered on your policy after returning for as long as he or she is a full-time student.
Q. If my dependent gets married, can he or she stay on my policy?
A. Yes.
Q. Why didn't I receive a dependent verification form this year?
A. Since the verification process was largely based on validating full-time student status and support from parents, it is no longer needed.
We may have to confirm full-time student status in limited cases where the military service provision may apply but we will do that on a case by case basis.
Note: State and local government (Employee Trust Funds program) employees are required to provide additional student verification. For more information, please see the Department of Employee Trust Funds website. Federal employees should also refer to their benefit materials for information on dependent coverage guidelines.
Q. Can the spouse of a married adult dependent be covered on this plan as well?
A. No, only the adult dependent can be covered under their parents' plan.

Bugzilla – Bug 17538
[IndexedDB] Remove error clauses for invalid index keys
Last modified: 2012-07-15 09:27:26 UTC
The exception tables for IDBObjectStore's add() and put() methods include:
"The calculated key for the insertion was not a valid key. Also thrown if the calculated key for any of the indexes which belong to this object store had a calculated key which was not a valid key"
However, consensus was reached that if the calculated key for an index is not a valid key then that index is simply skipped rather than failing the add()/put() -see "steps for storing a record into an object store".
I believe the second sentence ("Also thrown if...") should be removed.

Using Technology From GlassFish
This page collects public sightings of GlassFish artifacts, including Sites, IDEs, AppServers and more. Only public information is used here; for example, at Sun I (epll) know of many customers usig the SJS AS 9.x distributions, but I can't post them without their consent, and often getting that consent turns into a very long experience, so...

"Rollin' Round Wyoming" was created by Wyoming youngsters at the 2001 MDA Colorado/Wyoming Summer Camp. Specially designed harnesses were attached to the campers's wheelchairs and they cut shapes out of ofam and fastened them to their harnesses. Paint poured into barrels joined to the harnesses allowed campers to roll interesting shapes onto a huge piece of poster board taped to the ground.
These four vases were created at the 1996 MDA Summer Camp help in June at Camp Shadow Pines in Heber, Arizona. During the weeklong session, 62 Campers participated in the project with the assistance of Kurt Brill, a professional sculptor from Tucson. Each vase features individual children's handprints and names.
This work of art was created by 14 youngsters at a children's art workshop held in July 1992, at the Otis Parsons Art Institute in Los Angeles, California.
"It's Wheely Art!" was painted by children at the 1995 MDA Summer camp held in Guthrie, OK. White sheets and tempera paints were the medium for children to express themselves artistically using their hands, feet or wheelchairs.
This multimedia weaving incorporates ribbons, belts and bows. It was created at an MDA sponsored children's art workshop held in June, 1993, at the Indianapolis Children's Museum.
These puppets were created in a children's art workshop held in November 1992, in Des Moines, Iowa by four youngsters. The puppets are mixed media works in papier mache and fabric.
5 youngsters, aged 11 each created their own mask at an MDA sponsored art workshop held in October 1993, at the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C.
This work of art was created at an MDA Summer Camp in 1992, by three boys. The three copper engravings are displayed in one frame, 22" X 10".

Willie George Hale (born August 15, 1945), often known by the name Little Beaver, is an American R&B guitarist, singer and songwriter featured on many hit records since the 1960s.
Hale was born in Forrest City, Arkansas, and acquired the nickname "Little Beaver" as a child because of his prominent teeth. He became a virtuoso guitarist at an early age. In the early 1960s he moved to Florida, and in 1969 was signed by songwriter and producer Willie Clarke to the Cat label, an offshoot of Henry Stone's TK Records.
As a session musician, his characteristic guitar sound was soon heard on many hit TK recordings, including Betty Wright's "Clean Up Woman". (However, contrary to some sources, he was not featured on George McCrae's "Rock Your Baby", which featured Jerome Smith of KC & the Sunshine Band[1]).
In 1972 he launched a solo career with the single "Joey". His biggest solo hit came in 1974 with "Party Down", which made # 2 on the US R&B chart. He also released five albums as Little Beaver in the 1970s, a mixture of blues, soul and funk. However, he lost out commercially at the height of the disco boom. Many of his records featured other key Florida R&B musicians including Wright, pianist Benny Latimore, and organist Timmy Thomas. His 1974 album Party Down also featured, on one track, bassist Jaco Pastorius, credited as Nelson "Jocko" Padron.
After ending his recording career in the late 1970s, he was recruited by Betty Wright in 2003 to play on Joss Stone's albums The Soul Sessions and Mind, Body & Soul.
Some of his tracks have been sampled by hip-hop artists in recent years. The Los Angeles hip-hop duo People Under The Stairs sampled "Get into the Party Life" and "I Can Dig It Baby," for two tracks on their 2002 album, O.S.T., and titled the songs "Suite For Beaver, Part 1" and "Suite For Beaver, Part 2," respectively, as a tribute. "Get into the Party Life" was also later sampled on Jay-Z's track "Party Life" from his American Gangster album.
American fingerstyle guitarist Leo Kottke's instrumental tune "Little Beaver" (A Shout Toward Noon, 1986 Private Music) is named for Willie Hale, and Kottke's rhythmic style in the tune is an homage to Hale.[2]

You may think auto-aim is a sweet idea because you underestimate players ability to aim with a controller. I find it to be more challenging and rewarding in the end - thus making the game more fun. As a Killzone (which does not use auto-aim feature at all) player I would at least prefer to have an option to disable auto aim! Auto aim will stick to an enemy which is not natural at all, and even counterintuitive.
j1mmie9/9/2014 9:16:08 PM PermalinkThey should have regular gameplay with aim assist off, and a baby league with aim-assist on
My Intentions7/25/2014 7:23:53 AM PermalinkYea auto aim off/on option please. It was in alpha wasn't it? Or am I missing something?
P5YC0NAUGHT9/9/2014 8:47:54 PM PermalinkWell I got the full game today and no option to turn auto aim off... im considering taking it back it anoys me that much! I am perfectly able to aim my self and I hate when the game thinks im aining at sonething im not it barkes imersion and lowers skill reward it ruined halo and its ruined this game. I thought better of bungi
Lextatic7/27/2014 8:25:40 AM PermalinkI totally agree, it seems like Bungie would want to at least add an option since they seem to be trying to draw in the competitive players with their crucible playlists.
Zarul7/18/2014 7:26:41 PM PermalinkIn the name of freedom of choice- there should be an option ON and OFF . Thats all
CrazySubZeroEdited by CrazySubZero: 7/19/2014 11:07:56 AM Permalinkas i posted in my help forum post tere was an option at the first start but now i can t find it again :/ for me auto aim gets to a point wich kills all my fun with this game i cant hit annyting because if i pre-aim and wait to get the best shot the cursor will move because there is now an enemy and auto-aim tells my crosshair to move...its like a huge bubble around enemys where you need to aim a second time with different cursor speed because every enemy moves at a different speed/jumps/stopps differently... lol!
Acryllo7/18/2014 7:41:30 PM PermalinkYeah, its very distracting and can pull you away from your target if there are enemies close together.
grimfanEdited by grimfan: 7/19/2014 8:19:38 AM PermalinkYes please let us disable aim assist, Its really hard to play with it on.. How come there arent more people talking about this? Am I missing something?
Acryllo7/18/2014 6:58:05 PM PermalinkYeah, its very distracting and can pull you away from your target if there are enemies close together.
AngelOfDeatNY7/18/2014 7:00:42 PM PermalinkThere is an option for that under look control in settings. Auto lock centering is off by default though. I haven't noticed any pull of my crosshair
Glass Chameleon7/18/2014 12:25:44 PM PermalinkI agree,I think Aim assist should not even be an option.It should just be removed all together.
