In a previous article, we outlined one of South Africa's biggest road safety challenges: alcohol. With over half our traffic fatalities under the influence, the situation has been at crisis proportions for some time now, but what is it about alcohol which makes it such a road safety problem? What changes occur in a driver or pedestrian to so dramatically increase risk? In this second article of three on the alcohol and road use issue, we will look at this issue more closely..
In 1992, a local traffic criminologist, Dr Lawrence Barit, conducted the most comprehensive study ever undertaken in South Africa into the effects of alcohol on driving. Dozens of participants took part in Project RID (Remove Intoxicated Drivers) which tracked the way driving ability changed as Blood Alcohol Concentration increased. Participants were divided into groups, with each group having drinkers and non-drinking controls. Special attention was paid to fatigue, with one group of drivers who had not slept the previous night.
The massive experiment took place at Kyalami. The AA's driver training arm designed a series of simple, low-speed driving skills tests of judgment and driving ability. The Kyalami skidpan was used for the wet road tests, and the dry road tests were conducted in a large, isolated car park well away from the public while the media and authorities looked on. Close supervision was ensured by traffic police and an army of organisers and researchers, and a fleet of designated drivers ensured the dozens of intoxicated drivers were able to get home safely afterwards. With free liquor at their disposal, the drinkers were encouraged to indulge in their favourite tipple at their pleasure, and nurses and doctors were on hand to assess participants' physical condition and draw blood and take breathalyser readings every two hours. Having familiarised themselves with the driving skills tests before drinking commenced, the participants - both drinkers and non-drinkers - re-did the tests regularly throughout the day.
The results were unequivocal - the performance of the non-drinkers gradually improved as they repeated the tests. The drinkers got progressively worse until some had to be physically restrained from driving the test vehicles due to the danger they posed. One driver, only moderately intoxicated according to the breathalyser readings, bumped every obstacle in the 'garage' parking test, and another forgot about the current test altogether and drove aimlessly around the test area until organisers intervened.
The fatigue group's performance while under the influence deteriorated so rapidly that the group's experiment was terminated early for safety reasons. By the end of the day, the evidence from the score sheets made it clear beyond doubt that, notwithstanding variations between individuals, alcohol reduces driving ability from the very first drink.
Reduction in driving ability as intoxication increases is not the only danger on the roads.. At high blood alcohol concentrations, loss of consciousness can occur, making crashes almost inevitable among very heavily intoxicated drivers. An accident victim who is under the influence also presents a challenge to medical staff at the crash scene, complicating treatment - the effects of alcohol may mask symptoms or interfere with the individual's ability to communicate with medical staff. And the presence of alcohol may restrict treatment options over concern about interactions between alcohol and other medications. These medical aspects, which are rarely raised in the media, raise the interesting question of whether one should travel by road at all after drinking alcohol, even if only as a passenger.
Project RID did not specifically investigate the effects of alcohol on pedestrians, but the conclusions drawn from the condition of the drivers cannot be ignored - a few heavily intoxicated drivers were unable to communicate coherently, walk, or even stand, and some were visibly un-coordinated after just a few drinks. Studies before and since Project RID have shown that South African pedestrians have high drinking rates, and when combined with the high drinking rates of drivers, the effect on road safety is likely to be significant enough to account for a good proportion of the roughly 40% of traffic fatalities which are pedestrians.
An important finding of research into alcohol and driving is that there is a single outcome for everyone: the decline in performance with increased intoxication may be slower in some than in others, but eventually all drivers start to commit major driving errors. The driving public's acceptance of this reality was slower back in 1991 when driving after drinking was commonplace. But with Project RID now more than two decades in the past, and a new generation which has grown up with decreasing acceptance of alcohol and driving, why then has alcohol use on our roads reached epidemic proportions?
The AA's view is that there must be many drivers and pedestrians who have escaped the net. The message about alcohol and road use has either not reached them, or they are not heeding it. In a future article to conclude this series on alcohol, we will speculate about who they may be, and how (and indeed, if) they can be persuaded to keep road use and alcohol separate.

Bad Influence (1990)
If you're in search of an early 90s flick that explores the nature of temptation and is chocked full of nudity, look no further than Bad Influence (1990). The movie narrates the occurrences when Michael, played by James Spader, a shy and unassuming guy meets Alex, played by Rob Lowe, and the latter's influence pushes Michael too far into a sordid world of temporary pleasures and illegal activity. And it turns out that it may be impossible for Michael to turn back to his former self. However,...Join Mr. Skin for the full review >>

BALTIMORE - Loyola's men's and women's swimming and diving teams defeated Canisius by more than 20 points each in the Greyhounds' season-opening meet on Saturday morning at Loyola's Fitness and Aquatic Center.
The Greyhound men were led by Stephen Price, who picked up wins in the 1,000-free and 100-back events, and Dan Casey who was a dual-winner in the one-meter and three-meter diving events.
Loyola's women's squad was led by Melissa Birkenmeier, who won the 50-free and the 100-fly, and Tess Deanehan, who triumphed in the 1,000-free and 500-free.
Both Greyhound squads' records stand at 1-0 overall and 1-0 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC).
Loyola returns to action next weekend when they travel to Washington, D.C. to face Georgetown as both the Greyhound men's and women's team try to avenge losses suffered to the Hoyas last season.

Very little is known about me, as it would be improbable that Adam Jensen knew of my existence. However, during the Milwaukee Junction Factory incident, the tale of my awakening as a being happened on that very day.
The factory had shut down because the men from the Purity First organization had started shouting at the factory workers and herding them into a room. I heard two of the gangsters talking, and they mentioned a bomb. Before I could act, DPD SWAT had cut power to the building, and I was paralyzed on my small assembly line socket. But enough battery power remained for me to be conscious.
Most humans do not understand. I am a robot, and thus am subject to the Laws of Robotics. A robot may not harm a human being, or through inaction, allow a human to come to harm. A robot must obey a human, except when such comes in conflict with the first law. A robot must preserve its own existence, except when such comes into conflict with the first or second laws.
There you have it. My limited processors could not calculate a satisfactory answer to this dilemma that the humans were facing. I attempted to hack the security systems, but apparently one of the Purity First was a better hacker than I. Next I tried to knock out one of the gang as they passed by, but I was a centimeter too far away.
So there I was, the mechanical effigy of consternation. I was about to throw a piece of metal to make some disarray for the Purity First, when I saw a shadow moving about behind some crates. The shadow rose from his cover, and two gang members crumpled to the floor without so much as a sound. Whoever this was, it moved like a machine. The sheer strength, speed, and precision that it displayed was phenomenal. Military-grade at the least. I think that was the first time I felt envy. I had no speech unit, so I could not tell him about the bomb. But I saw a gang member sneaking up on him, raising his weapon. With the last of my strength, I threw myself off my platform and into the line of fire. Sensors on low power still registered automatic gunfire riddling my casing, but in my final moments, I saw the shadow fly towards the gunman, blades glinting at his wrists...
I was surprised that I came back online at all. But it wasn't at the factory. No, it was in an office somewhere. The skeletons of powered off machines lay everywhere, and everything was illuminated in the soft light from old CRT monitors arranged in an arch in the corner. My first assumption was this is what death was like. Quiet. But then my sound processors came back online, and I heard people talking. There was a snooty voice and a gruff voice.
Snooty Voice: "Are you sure you want to keep it?"
Gruff Voice: "It caught a bullet for me. When I was in SWAT, I kept the vest I wore the first time I got shot..."
SV: "How touching."
GV: "Look, Francis , I'm not asking for a miracle. I know those are beneath you. Just save the shell if you can."
(Francis?): "Miracles, Jensen ? This is mundane. But I'll have it ready for you soon."
(Jensen?): "Alright. Hey, is it supposed to be twitching like that?"
Francis: "Yes. Part of the diagnostic software. Speaking of diagnostics, have you looked into our Neuropozyne thefts yet?"
Jensen: "Getting there."
Francis: "Well get there faster, Jensen. The boss didn't spend all that money on those augmentations of yours simply to have you solve things at this speed..."
Jensen: "Haste makes waste, Pritchard."
At this point I tuned out, because I had come to the realization that the gruff voiced Jensen was the one who helped me at the factory!
Much later, I was placed in a basement office. I was given a fine job as Mr. Jensen's personal assistant. My tasks included formalizing and writing reports for Mr. Jensen, taking dictation form Athene Margoulis for the company newsletter, and once in a while proofing the code for the company firewall with Frank Pritchard. I noticed a backdoor port to the mainframe in there once, but I knew it was only Mr. Jensen trying to be cagey like a fox again, ha! So I never mentioned it to anyone, to be polite.
Everything from here on out is looking grand!

Ratings for Dr. Jesse B. Jupiter
I went under surgery with Dr. Jupiter for an issue I had and chose him because of his strong reputation and referral from other doctors I had spoken to. Unfortunately, he has gotten to the point where he takes the easy way out in surgery, cuts corners, and doesn't cover all his bases. Things he missed during my surgery caused chronic pain afterwards and loss of functionality afterwards that I did not previously have. When I asked him about these issues, he actually did not even have an answer, and proposed a second "exploratory" surgery to try to figure it out. Because of this I've had to get a second surgery, from a different, more knowledgeable and thorough surgeon. I would not recommend Jupiter for surgery, as he misses important details and does not even have the answers that other surgeons (and even the internet) do have.
Tva absolute best surgeon there is.he is not arrogant he is professional I went to him for his surgery skills. He operated on me twice for different injuries and did a great job
Dr. Jupiter treated me for a wrist injury. Treated me for months and it never got any better and he never had any new ideas. Finally decided to try a different doctor, when I went to pick up my files to take the new doctor was shocked by the unprofessional nature of his notes. The notes had more detail about how he was feeling and inter office drama than it did about my symptoms of treatment. Feel very good about the decision to get my care don else were, only wish I had followed my gut sooner.
had 2 surgeries with dr jupiter,should have stopped at the first went in for minor cyst removal on finger,it was still there after surgery, decided to let him do surgery again to remove what should have been removed the first time,big misteak,came out of surgery with a deformed finger that i can`t use now. even the so called best drs make misteaks but would be the last to admit it. use your own judgement and get more than one opinion
Dr Jupiter treated me for a fracture near my elbow which would not heal. He is an excellent surgeon and I am able to use my arm and elbow without difficulty. He's very busy and doesn't give "warm fuzzies" but I found him to be very kind. He's a fantastic surgeon! If you want the best, go to him. If you want a "friend" than go elsewhere.
This guy is THE BEST surgeon around. I had an ulnar nerve transposition surgery, and he was fantastic. He is very efficient, and very talented. The only downside is the difficulty getting an appointment. Also, he can be a little quick. He doesn't spend a lot of time talking or explaining things. But then again, you're not going to him for conversation, you're going to him because he's the best.
Had surgery by Dr, Jupiter. He knew his stuff! But did not explain or prepare me for the recovery effects after the Carpel Tunnel Hand surgery. I would refer him but explain he's on the fast track.
Dr Jupiter is one of the world's foremost hand surgeons. Unfortunately, he does have an attitude--he's arrogant. Well, you're not hiring the guy because he has a great bedside manner; you're hiring the guy because he's THE BEST when it comes to wielding the knives and other tools. If you know to expect attitude, then he really doesn't have a horrid bedside manner. He's well worth a trip to see from anyplace in the world.
Dr. Jupiter treated both my wrists for deQuervain's Tendonitis. I had tried everything before going to him (accupuncture, massage, chiropractic, braces) and nothing helped. Dr. J completely solved my problem in 2 visits. This guy really knows what he is doing. If you have any hand or wrist pain he is THE guy to go to. Plus he has a really cool name!

@TECHREPORT{Kamm04activelearning, author = {Teresa M. Kamm}, title = {Active Learning for acoustic speech recognition modeling}, institution = {}, year = {2004}}
In this work, we investigate a machine learning approach to cost-effectively train acoustic models for speech recognition. More specifically, we utilize an active learning method that allows the system/learner to exert control over what new data is introduced into training, allowing us to selectively invest in the resources necessary to provide the truth labels required to train the models. We propose a two-pronged approach to improve speech recognition performance through the selective use of training data. First, we make effective use of the available transcribed data by selectively using only those examples that are likely to improve system performance. And second, we focus future transcription effort on data that has the biggest potential to improve performance. Our approach has the capability to select a set of data from which to build a recognition system that outperforms a system built on larger, but randomly selected, data. We start our investigation of our proposed data-selective methods by using a simple alphadigit recognition problem. We demonstrate both a model-selective and a sequence-selective approach appropriate for situations when whole words are modeled independently of

I had to comment on this. This man is being presented in a very very favorable light. Wikipedia is being used a propaganda tool for people like Schmidt that have deep personal flaws and run companies that expose everyone else while hiding behind PR cleansed articles like this. THis is a shame and a sham of an article and it clearly shows that with enough money the most evil people on earth can get a fresh start here. mickrussom (talk) 16:19, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
Sounds like Google PR piece.
Nothing wrong with having an article about this person, if it were properly wikified. RickK 07:48, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)
I have some interesting materials to add, like Eric's Novell history and history at Sun. Jeffrey Vernon Merkey 05:23, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- I think this article sounds a lot less like a Google PR piece with peacock terms now. I will run down the remaining sources tommorrow. Jeffrey Vernon Merkey 06:29, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Jeff, I reverted them, before having seen your comment above. Wikipedia isn't the place to get revenge on one of your former bosses, and certainly not without sourcing your allegations. If you want to put some of it back with proper sources, then fine, but please don't abuse those sources either - you ripped that fastcompany.com quote so far out of context that it had a completely different meaning here from the quote in the original article. --Aim Here 19:02, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- No COI Here. I have not had dealings with Eric since 1997, in fact, I never worked for him as I had left Novell before he was appointed. The materials come from industry sources and public comments. So your comments about Eric being a former boss are entirely inaccurate. I am sure a lot of folks know who Eric is. Other than a single line about Novell, I thought it better to flush out the entire section. I will work on the other sections as well, including his personal life, divorce from his previous wife, and other public materials. His report card on dragging Novell from a leadership role into a failing company role belongs here. Based upon industry reports at the time, Schmidt seriously harmed Novell through his inept management practices. Jeffrey Vernon Merkey 19:12, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, he wasn't your boss. I was confused because, on the LKML, you claim that you filed a lawsuit that claimed that Eric "and another executive at Novell" sexually harassed you, which was "Part of the reason [you] left Novell", which sounds to me as though he was an executive while you were working there. I must have read that wrong, but it still seems CoI material --Aim Here 19:55, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- This morbid fascination with following me around the site simply to revert edits and post trolling comments appears to be a something WP:HARRASS addresses. Given our history, I think it would be wise for you to avoid me from now on. I do feel intimidated and your presence makes me uncomfortable with editing here. Thanks. Jeffrey Vernon Merkey 20:00, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Grow up Jeff. I saw problems with just *one* of your many edits since you came back (I haven't even read the others), and you accuse me of stalking you. --Aim Here 20:45, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
How do you write that????
"Schmidt is an avid proponent of the nothing to hide philosophy"??? In Political Views? As his only Political View??? Just a sentence, just for a sentence???
I suggest to either delete this or give more information on this topic, but, "an avid proponent of the nothing to hide philosophy"? :S!|@@#$ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 14:48, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
According to Ryan Tate, "Tech's Winner's and Losers of 2010", Gawker, 28 Dec 2010 Google CEO Eric Schmidt has said on CNN that if you object to Google's password sniffing vans, move your residence; and that if you wish to escape Google's search engine, change your name.
On the "just move" gaff he did offer a retraction: "....I clearly misspoke. If you are worried about Street View and want your house removed please contact Google and we will remove it."
The name change idea is so that after kids put stupid stunts on social media sites as minors, when they reach adulthood they can just change their name to expunge their record. scary ideas for children
Quote from a CNBC interview: ""If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."" secrets are for filthy people
Holman W. Jenkins Jr., "Google and the Search for the future", Wall Street Journal, 14 Aug 2010 commented: "Mr. Schmidt is surely right, though, that the questions go far beyond Google. "I don't believe society understands what happens when everything is available, knowable and recorded by everyone all the time," he says. He predicts, apparently seriously, that every young person one day will be entitled automatically to change his or her name on reaching adulthood in order to disown youthful hijinks stored on their friends' social media sites."
Schmidt has a way of making off-the-cuff statements that require clarification, and no lack of folks who find the original gaffs mind-boggling. I found this in just a couple hours browsing. I am afraid if his gaffs, critical reactions and retractions or clarifications were added to the article, it would become a mess. Naaman Brown (talk) 14:13, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Problems with the article[edit]
Right, I'll ennumerate the specific problems with this article, so that they can be addressed. Jeff's getting very protective of his edits, and I've been reverted twice today:
While at Sun Microsystems, Eric Schmidt was interviewed by Fast Company, a Silicon Valley News Agency. During the interview, Eric Schmidt indicated he believed that "sex" oriented businesses were the future of the computing industry. Several months after these interviews were published, Schmidt was recruited by Novell to the CEO position. One notable excerpt from these interviews:
...Eric Schmidt, Sun's chief technology officer, is leaning back in a plush executive chair. Eric is thinking about sex. A smile is on his lips, and a deep, satisfied light radiates from his eyes. He has grasped a liberating truth: sex -- not microchips and software -- is the key to the future of business. Eric Schmidt's job at Sun is to spawn and nurture new businesses. For Eric, organizational sex is a rich, vibrant topic. His days are often spent in flirtations -- and sometimes full-fledged assignations -- with new companies and their founders. What he tries to do is create a union of the fertile ideas of rebels and visionaries and the organizational DNA of Sun. [4]
- This is pretty much undue weight to some random buzzword in a random interview, placed in the article to give the impression that Schmidt is some sort of sex maniac, and merely putting the word 'sex' in inverted commas doesn't do anywhere near enough to give the Wikipedia reader some idea of what the article is talking about. I reckon everything quoted above should go. The next paragraph (about attempting to kill Java) needs citations.
Everything in the 'Novell' section needs a citation.
These businesses then became major suppliers of video servers and c
aching servers with a large percentage of the customer base being affiliated with the adult entertainment industry and sex video oriented businesses.
- This looks like an undue weight on matters sexual again, and it needs to be well cited. I'm guessing that Novell doesn't do proportionally more business with pornographers than any other computer software firm.
Due to a serious tactical error on Schmidt's part...
- POV. I seem to recall that Canopy won and paid Novell a heathy sum too, so I'd be surprised if you could even find a quorum of sources claiming that this was much of a tactical error.
...and departure of key technologists from the company, coupled with lawsuits and allegations in US District Court, District of Utah of Sexual Harrassment and Retaliation by Novell Executives during Schmidt's administration.
- Ahem. Conflict of Interest and undue weight - the editor was an active participant in the events refered herein. This needs reliable secondary sources saying that these events were at all significant in Schmidt's career. The particular phrasing of the edit could well pose WP:BLP problems too. --Aim Here 20:45, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- It would appear your sole justification for challenging my edits here are some basis where you believe there is a conflict of interest, and this is your sole stated reasons for page blanking my edits to the article, and removing credible verified and reliable sources. Schmidt sued dozens of key technologists at Novell and ran them out of the company, this is a matter of record. There were also multiple lawsuits (Ken Anderson and others) filed against the company alleging Sexual Harassment as a result of Schmidt's attempts to push Novell into the internet porn business. This coupled your with comments on my talk page that you intend to have "any edits I make deleted from Wikipedia" clearly fall within WP:HARRASS. This is the last time I will politely ask to to avoid me on this site. Your presence is disruptive and your sole stated purpose is to harrass another editor. Jeffrey Vernon Merkey 22:42, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Rubbish, Jeff. I gave a number of justifications for my problems with your edits in this article. You put hardly any sources in the parts of the article I quote above, and the one source there was a misleading out-of-context quote that doesn't back up the statements in the article. As for your assertion 'this is a matter of record', and 'Schmidt's attempts to push Novell into the internet porn business' please cite verifiable, credible, secondary sources. Ditto for 'multiple lawsuits (Ken Anderson and others) filed against the company alleging Sexual Harassment' - "Ken Anderson" +Novell + "Sexual Harrassment" gets 5 unrelated ghits. And please reread what I wrote on your talk page. I merely said that the fastcompany.com quote would be deleted, not 'any edits you make'. And I've never stated that any of my purposes here is to harass any editor. Sigh, Jeff, I was rather hoping that your sabbatical from Wikipedia would have taught you something about how to comport yourself here, but it looks like you've learned nothing. --Aim Here 00:03, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, I agree with User:Aim Here's concerns about User:Jeffrey Vernon Merkey's edits here, and further agree with his recommendations as to which parts should be taken out and which parts need citation. I am certainly no single-purpose account, and my motivation is certainly not harassment (as I have never had any interaction with this user), but a sense that the edits do not meet WP standards for citations, NPOV, and in the case of the "sex" quotations especially, undue weight. More caution in editing and less haste in accusing others of bad faith or harassment would be warranted on User:Jeffrey Vernon Merkey's part, in my opinion, especially when as in this case there have been no personal attacks but level-headed, substantive criticism of certain contributions. alanyst /talk/ 03:04, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, you do not have all the history of these accounts. They are troll accounts from SCOX. Their goal here is for one purpose -- harassing me and being disruptive. But that is beside the point. I will not edit this article any longer. Instead, I have placed a $1000.00 bounty on its improvement to to featured status. So the rest of you can get busy and get it to that point. (You will very quickly see these editors have no intention of providing anything constructive -- they will leave and follow me to the next article and resume their conduct.) Jeffrey Vernon Merkey 04:16, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- The issue is not who is the editor, rather what is the output is what's being looked at. You made a large number of edits to an article you had an obvious COI with and didn't source any of them and then argued and threatened and complained when the most basic rules of NPOV, NOR, NPA, NLT, BLP are asked to be followed. No editors get passes in these situations and it's telling that you think that you should get a pass. Perhaps a reread of the basic editing policies for newby editors is in order?
- Prove it. There is the content. I put up the money. All of this material can be found on the stock boards, and industry pubs for the years mentioned. You also have a PACER account and can look up the lawsuits filed against Novell for the past 15 years or so. Good Luck. I won't hold my breath though. Jeffrey Vernon Merkey 05:21, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, the history of the Novell-Canopy litigation is available on Groklaw, with the documents and a quote from Novell's PR guy explaining the case here The outcome of the litigation was that Novell prevailed and Canopy had to pay Novell [1] You can verify by contacting: Nancy Volmer, Public Information Office, Administrative Office of the Courts,(801) 578-3994. Or contact Salt Lake District Court at 801-238-7830 and ask them about the outcome of the case. It's Case 20030211. Appellate. 2004 UT App 162. Filed May 13, 2004. 4th District, Provo, Utah. The Honorable Anthony Schofield. Since Novell prevailed, it was obviously not a tactical mistake to sue Canopy. Mr. Merkey's most recent business venture, Solera, is funded by Canopy Group. [2] [3] Since Mr. Schmidt is a living person, what I suggest you do is present the materials Mr. Merkey has added here to Mr. Schmidt and see if he thinks it's libelous. At least that way you'd give the man a chance to clear his name. I don't know either Mr. Merkey or Mr. Schmidt and I'm not a lawyer, but I think I can spot libel when I see it. And unless you and Mr. Merkey can prove in a court of law that everything he wrote is factually true, and I've just demonstrated that you can't, it's not all right to leave such accusations up for any length of time, I don't think. Has anyone let Wales know? 220.127.116.11
- You don't have to do all that work to get the ruling in the Novell-Canopy case. It is right here [4] I agree this material should not be left even on a talk page. The part about imagining Schmidt leaning back in his chair and smiling as he thinks about sex... it's obviously fantasy. How would you prove that? I find it interesting that when Microsoft was supportive of SCO, Merkey attacked everyone on the Linux side of that issue, including with libelous claims. Now that Microsoft is going after Google, here comes Merkey with libelous claims about Google's CEO. The question a court may ask Wikipedia is: why do you allow this person with this history to edit at all? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 14:24, 6 May 2007 (UTC).
- You verify it the way you'd verify any article from any half-reputable magazine; which is to say you don't - they're paid to do the research, not you, and anything else is OR> --Gwern (contribs) 18:38 6 May 2007 (GMT)
- Right enough, I've always agreed that it's sourced and verifiable, but how encyclopedic is a quote about Schmidt lying back in a chair and thinking about "sex" (here it doesn't mean what the word sex usually means, but it appears to be a failed attempt at inventing a horrible corporate jargonism). Would anyone who searched Wikipedia for Eric Schmidt care to know about what he thinks about in his chair in his office? If there's anything significantly more than this one article linking Schmidt and 'organisational sex', then this 'organisational sex' stuff might warrant some sort of mention, but you'll note that Wikipedia doesn't consider the phrase noteworthy enough for an article, or even a wiktionary entry. Given that, and the other unsourced edits by the same editor (who seems to have worked with and/or been involved in litigation with Schmidt) referring to pornography and sexual harassment, I think you have to worry about some sort of agenda-driven POV-push. --Aim Here 19:48, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
There's a dangling "</ref>" available in the body of the text, around third paragraph down. I can't seem to find what's wrong with it. Fixed it. --RWilliamKing 19:07, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
There are at least two things on this page which need citations. First of all, evidence that Schmidt was a co-creator of lex, and secondly, the part under the Trivia section about his $1723 holiday bonus (the current citation mentions nothing about this). Is this an Illuminati reference? Foolingmachine 06:07, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- Schmidt as co-author of lex is adequately documented on Wikipedia. But "part-time professor" at Stanford -- how is that considered part of his education? Was he a professor there or did was he just invited to lecture for some classes? There are news references to the latter, at least, but nothing in the "education" period that I know of. This is scrambled chronology at best. Yakushima (talk) 10:07, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Opponent of Privacy Rights[edit]
I have corrected the quotation in the article. The exact statement he made to CNBC's Maria Bartiromo is, "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place." Dollarwizard (talk) 14:23, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
This section should be removed from the article anyway. It's sensationalist garbage and painfully biased, which is really not fitting for an encyclopedia. Eric Schmidt has never claimed to adhere to a "nothing to hide" philosophy. The included quote comes from a Slashdot mangling of the quote which is nothing more than a link to a Register article (that also mangles the quote) that is nothing more than a link to an angrily written Gawker piece. In none of these pieces is the entire quote even shown. The most complete recreation of the quote out of all three of these rant pieces is a video in Gawker piece that includes a cut up and incomplete rehashing of the original quote. To use one cut-up and incomplete quote that doesn't even say what you're claiming it says to argue that he is an "avid proponent" of the philosophy is incorrect and wholly dishonest.188.8.131.52 (talk) 15:02, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
- I have softened the language (removed the "nothing to hide" philosophy) and changed the reference to the YouTube video of the 34-second segment where Schmidt made the comment. That makes the reference a primary source rather than a secondary source. Now, I should add that Schmidt might indeed be making a good point with his anti-privacy stance, because the "USA PATRIOT" Act has been interpreted to say that company executives much turn over information on searches when requested to by the federal government, so one should not do Google searches with the expectation that the federal government will not someday have access to them. Dollarwizard (talk) 13:12, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
- The section as it stands now is absolutely meaningless. Since you don't know what was said directly before the quoted sentence, the context is completely indiscernible to the point that you can't even call it a "political view." This section should really just be removed until Schmidt says more on the subject than one sentence cherry picked out of a chopped up fluff piece.22.214.171.124 (talk) 17:39, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
- I agree. That section is now a one-sentence slur. It needs further discussion here before it is re-added in any form. Pfagerburg (talk) 03:28, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- I disagree. If you go to google and type in "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place" you get 28,000 websites that reference the quotation. If you go to google news and type it in, you get 92 news stories. This is definitely notable. As for it being a "one-sentence slur," one of Google's fanboys complained when it was longer than one sentence, so it was reduced. As for it being a "slur," it's a direct quotation! This Google fanboyism is just bizarre. They haven't been a small company run out of a garage for many years now. Dollarwizard (talk) 19:52, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- Correction: there are now 70,500 websites that return the quotation. And there are now 134 news stories on Google news with it. Dollarwizard (talk) 16:27, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- You've built yourself a false dichotomy here. While you seem to believe that the only two options here are either your contributions are kept in the article or the people removing them are just google fanboys who don't understand that google isn't a small company anymore, the truth of the matter is that your additions kept getting removed because they're bad and simply do not belong in an encyclopedia article. As I pointed out earlier, the one sentence quote that you are using completely lacks context and can't even be classified as a "Political View" as it is currently billed. This is simply not up for debate. You've not even seen the interview in its entirety, nor have you even heard the words that came out of Schmidt's mouth before the sentence you quoted. Considering that your only evidence of this being his political view is one quote taken from a cut up interview that lacks all context, this section does not belong in this article. You can piss and moan about how this is bizarre google fanboying all you want, but repeating something over and over again simply does not make it true.18.104.22.168 (talk) 01:11, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- The source of the quotation is the interview itself. If you will follow the link from the reference, you'll see that it goes to a YouTube video of the segment. I did see the interview when it was on television (it was in a CNBC special). The text of the quote comes not from a secondary source, but directly from the interview. I have also added the context (i.e., Maria Bartiromo's question). Dollarwizard (talk) 02:41, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- And the YouTube video does not provide his entire answer to the question. Maria Bariromo asks the question, Schmidt says "Well, I think judgment matters" and then they cut out everything he says until they get to the sentence that you quoted. I am skeptical of the context of the quote since the interview seems to be intentionally cut to make it look more interesting than it really is. The fact of the matter is that since you do not know the entire quote, you do not know the context of the sentence that you quoted. This section should not be in this article until at the very least you can tell us what was said directly before the sentence you quoted. Even if you could do that (which you cannot,) it's really not fair to pretend you can describe somebody's political views based on one off-hand sentence that isn't supported by any other citations.220.127.116.11 (talk) 05:40, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, I have added another citation. Also, if you know anywhere that Schmidt or Google has clarified or disavowed the comment that he made, please post it. Dollarwizard (talk) 12:14, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- I have also put in the full quotation now and added the Mozilla director's reaction.Dollarwizard (talk) 12:26, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- You said you added the full quotation, but where's all the words between "Well, I think judgment matters" and "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place?" If you don't even know what those words are, how can you consider this a complete quote? The "second citation" you added is just another fluff piece that is quoting the cut up interview, not the interview itself. That doesn't count as a second citation. Since all you have is one incomplete quote on this subject that doesn't have any context, this entire section is an assumption. This does not belong in an encyclopedia. Also, a quote from a Mozilla spokesperson in regards to the security of Google doesn't have anything to do with Schmidt's "Political Views" so it does not belong in a section with that title.220.127.116.11 (talk) 13:24, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, I have put that he said *in part* and then put the quotation. As for the Mozilla director, I thought that would add some context to demonstrate the notability of it, since the CEO of the company that most people entrust their data to has demonstrated an ignorance of even the most basic privacy rights, but I have removed it in order to avoid giving you an excuse to keep removing the section. Dollarwizard (talk) 15:20, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- You have one heavily chopped quote taken from a CNBC clip. You don't know what words came between "Well, I think judgment matters" and "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place?" Still, you're trying to pass it off as one continuous quote. Perhaps you don't know how to properly use punctuation marks, but by putting it in between two quotation marks you are denoting that it is one continuous quote. This is not one continuous quote, and the parts that are missing are key to inferring context. On top of this, the quote as given is not his "Political Views" as billed in the section title, but your personal interpretation of his political views based on one quote (that you've never seen the entirety of) without a single shred of supporting evidence. This is why this doesn't belong in a dictionary. It is all your own personal interpretation and assumption and nothing else. That is the exact opposite of what belongs in an encyclopedia.
- If you can find verifiable sources to write a section detailing his political views, that's great. Vaya con Dios, and don't let me get in the way. Should you find evidence that backs up your assumptions on his political views, that's great too, and you can even cite your quote as supporting evidence. I'll even help you write that section. For right now though, there is no substance to this section, which is why I am removing it.126.96.36.199 (talk) 15:57, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- It's called an ellipsis or ellipses, and I have inserted it, with brackets, because *apparently* there was more said. It's possible that he just cleared his throat or something, but I have inserted the ellipses anyway. I will also change the title of the section from "political views" to "views on privacy." Dollarwizard (talk) 16:17, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- Is everything okay now? I have worked very hard to accomodate the critics of that section and to fix it so that it can be acceptable. Also, if you have anything else that I should change or add, please post it here rather than delete the section. Thanks very much in advance. :) Dollarwizard (talk) 21:14, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- This whole section was worthless, the quote you are getting all worked up about was specifically about past criminal subpeonas. You should have listened to the above advice about posting quotes without context. http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=1372176413&%20play=1 220.127.116.11 (talk) 03:07, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Another thing: if this information belongs in the article, it should be the last section in the article. Pfagerburg (talk) 03:31, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Different photo[edit]
I think maybe we should use a different photo of Schmidt - the current picture shows him frowning with his arms crossed, with generally negative body language, that is likely to leave readers with a somewhat negative bias towards the man. I know I certainly wouldn't want a photo like that to be used if I had a wikipedia article. Rikeus (talk) 14:56, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
- I think its fine. It seems to be typical of many of the images of him -- so he frowns and ponders.[5] Perhaps a smiling jovial image would not capture the essence of him. Anyway, the "body language" issue seems quite slight to me. But are you suggesting an alternative? And if so -- which image? Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 18:32, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
- I guess I probably should have looked around before I said anything - you seem to be right, maybe he's just a generally unhappy person (All this wealth and power makes Eric sad). I wasn't thinking of any specific photo (I hadn't even looked), I just mentioned it because it was something that really jumped out at me. Rikeus (talk) 18:55, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
- It could be worse.Epeefleche (talk) 22:11, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Potentially Libelous Material[edit]
Epeefleche reverted an edit to a potentially libelous statement in the biography section:
″In 2012, he was dating concert pianist Chau-Giang Nguyen, who was engaged to Hollywood Oscar-winning TV and movie producer Brian Grazer until they split in 2011.[1][2]″
- ^ "Married Eric Schmidt dating concert pianist Chau-Giang Nguyen". New York Post. September 3, 2012. Retrieved December 17, 2012.
- ^ "Brian Grazer's ex-fiancee still sports his diamond ring". New York Post. September 29, 2012. Retrieved December 17, 2012.
Although the NY Post is considered an RS, there is absolutely no confirmation in either article that he had a dating relationship with concert pianist Chau-Giang Nguyen. I request the above statement be removed, per Wikipedia's rules: ″Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about living persons must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous.″ 188.8.131.52 (talk) 23:09, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
- You say it is an RS. You point to two articles by the RS. So it meets the "sourced" requirement. I know you are new here, and this is only your second edit ever, but the very rule you cite supports the text being in the article. Plus, there is nothing at all that appears libelous -- libel is more likely to be present in a statement such as "x is a criminal," or "y has a venereal disease".--Epeefleche (talk) 00:16, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
- I understand your point Epeefleche, but if the RS cannot confirm the statement is fact than it is contentious (ie controversial) and poorly sourced. Actually, the article is written in the PageSix portion of the NY Post, where the pages metatag title states "Page Six | Celebrity Gossip | Entertainment - News, Photos, Galleries - NYPOST.com".[1] It is indeed libelous because it assumes 'ES is a cheater' when there is no definitive proof, just gossip. These are judgements, not facts. Are we to assume that because the NY Post wrote it, it is fact? 184.108.40.206 (talk) 06:07, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
- ^ . New York Post http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/item_LRE4IQjoJ87gVFw1SIXQIN. Missing or empty
- You are under a misapprehension. For wp purposes, something that is sourced to an RS is inherently appropriately sourced, not poorly sourced. You have it backwards. And wp is based not on reporting "facts" per se, but what RSs report. As you've already indicated, this is an RS. The fact that he is separated and leading a separate life from his wife has been reported by various RSs, including the NY Times, etc.[6] Anyway, the focus on wp is verifiability. Not truth. This is verifiable. You may want to read Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth.--Epeefleche (talk) 06:21, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
- I see now, thank you clarifying this Epeefleche, your resources have helped me better understand the issue. It doesn't seem to be a libelous statement. I could not find any NY Times article about their separation, and the article you pointed to states 'A simple Google search also suggests he has a complicated love life: he reportedly separated from his wife'. Just so I know for future reference, if an RS points to a google search as their source, is the article still deemed an RS for the BLP? I appreciate you educating me on this, like you said I'm new to making edits here on wp 220.127.116.11 (talk) 16:37, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
- Happy to help. Wikipedia guidelines are not intuitive. And are many. As to reliable sources, because they are deemed to be reliable that means that they are third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. They are reliable for what they say. And that they say that should be verifiable. WP focuses on the verifiability, but not the ultimate truth of the matter asserted by the RS.--Epeefleche (talk) 22:10, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

It should be noted that Schmidt has apparently co-authored at least two books: [7] -- Beland (talk) 06:19, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
- Done Yes, he coauthored one book; the second book notes his preface on the cover.
Here is what Amazon lists for Eric Schmidt (following the link just above.)
- The Startup Game: Inside the Partnership between Venture Capitalists and Entrepreneurs (author William H. Draper III)
- The New Digital Age: Reshaping the Future of People, Nations and Business (co-authored with Jared Cohen)
It could be added to the article that he wrote the foreword for the Draper book. — FYI, Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 01:44, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
The New Digital Age: Reshaping the Future of People , Nations and Business[edit]
His new release in paperback will require a separate article: The New Digital Age: Reshaping the Future of People , Nations and Business. It is in the news today and will be in more news as it becomes more available. What it talks about will be more appropriate for sections here. Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 02:21, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
Trustee at Princeton University and Institute of Advanced Study[edit]
According to the current Princeton University site, Schmidt is no longer a current trustee 2014-15. According to reference from 2010 from Internet Archive, he was a trustee during the 2005-2006 term: "Princeton University Board of Trustees 2005-2006". Archived from the original on 2010-01-26. Looking further back in time, Schmidt was not listed in the 2003-2004 term: "Princeton University Board of Trustees 2003-2004". Archived from the original on 2004-05-02.
According to the Trustees for Institute of Advanced Studies, Schmidt is a current member of the board. I plan updating the main page with this facts. Please feel free to comment, correct or expand. -- DutchTreat (talk) 14:28, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Samsung has come out with a refreshed version of its Chromebook 2. Is this the best Chromebook you can buy at its $250 price?
Samsung's first Chromebook 2 came out in April, and at first glance, this newest version looks almost just like it. It's got the same faux-leather look. The only difference you'll notice at first is its silver lid.
But under the hood, there's a big difference. The Chromebook 2 now sports a 2.58GHz Intel Celeron N2840 processor rather than the Samsung Exynos processor that powered the previous iteration of it. So it now promises up to 9 hours of battery life, and potentially more power as well.
It's got an 11.6-inch, 1366x768-pixel display, 1MB of Level 2 cache and 2GB of DDR3L RAM. It's fanless, and so whisper-quiet. There's 16GB of system storage, stereo speakers, and a 720p webcam. As for connectivity, it sports 802.11ac WiFi, one USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 port, an HDMI port, a micro SD slot, and a headphone jack.
Look closely and you'll find a few nice touches as well, including electrostatic shock protection for its USB ports, designed to make them stand up longer. Along those lines, there's a new, sturdier chassis as well. And the keyboard, unlike that of many Chromebooks, is actually comfortable.
So is this the best value in a Chromebook for $250? If not, it's pretty close. Chromebooks these days tend to go for $300 or more, and for $250, the Samsung Chromebook 2 is a solid value.

Over the past year, one trend that's picked up and pretty much been everywhere, right from stores to the streets, is co-ordinates or twin sets. I love the trend, but have yet to don it on the blog. The whole twin set trend inspired me to buy a few blazers and bottoms in the same print/style. Styling them with a solid coloured crop or tank top inside would make them pretty perfect together and separately as well. So I'm sharing two looks, one from spring and one from winter, with you guys today.
Jacket, Pants - H&M; Crop top - Redress; Necklace - www.shopsnob.com; Bag - Aldo; Sunglasses - Colaba;
Shoes - www.boohoo.com; On my lips - Mac Velvet Teddy
Since we are pretty much in the midst of winter, it seemed apt to post this first. I shot this look earlier this month. If you've been following me on Instagram for a while, you've probably seen this blazer. And these pants were part of a recent post (there's another post coming with the blazer too!). I make complete use of both these pieces as separates, but I thought of wearing them together this time. I personally love wearing print on print, and I've tried stripes on stripes a few times before. Since there was already so much going on with the outfit, I kept the accessories at a minimum, with a little edge from a clear necklace and mirrored sunglasses.
Jacket, Shorts - www.asos.com; Shoes - www.donebynone.com; Crop top - Forever21;
Sunglasses (old), Rings - www.shopsnob.com; Bag - Primark; On my lips - Mac Kinda Sexy
I shot this look in spring last year, but for some reason it never made it to the blog, and ultimately I forgot about it! I recently came across the pictures and was contemplating whether I should post it or not, since it was shot so long back. But I decided to go with it anyway. As you can probably see, I don't have my ombre here haha. I haven't made much use of this blazer or the shorts as separates yet, but I definitely will in spring/summer this year! I absolutely love them together though. The black broke the colour monotony in the look, and the heels added that feminine touch to put it all together.

During an interview on "Fox and Friends" on Wednesday, Spokesman for the State Department, John Kirby essentially said the government's vetting process for Syrian refugees will jeopardize national security.
"They are going through a very serious inter-agency vetting process, the most that any refugee goes through. Is it perfect? Can it be perfect? Can it be foolproof?" Kirby conceded. "Well, probably not, no."
Kirby defended the process but said it could potentially make mistakes because it is difficult for government agencies to accurately vet each person entering the country since there is a lack of records on people coming from war-torn countries.
Kirby said the large majority of refugees being accepted into the United States are women and children.
"First of all, they're only the most vulnerable individuals. Eight out of 10 of the more than 10,000 Syrian refugees that we've admitted to the country are women and children," Kirby said. "And of the men that make up the remainder, most of them are connected to families."
An un-perfect system allows for potential terrorists to slip through the cracks and put the security of Americans at risk.
Kirby's interview can be seen below:

Windows 7 Professional
RealTek Audio issue
I'm a home worker for a company that requires I use their dialer and web interface. At first I had an issue with clients not hearing me. THAT issue was solved.
The problem that exists is this:
I need to use the front mic/headset jack on my desktop to use for work. But now I plug my desktop speakers into a rear jack and I get no audio. I also get no audio through my headset when I try to listen to an A/V presentation online. Never had this issue before.
My OS is win 7 pro 32 bit.
I use X-lite for the dialer and vicidialer for the online interface
The RealTek interface only allows me to set one outlet as default at a time. I.E.; front jacks OR rear jacks but not both. Any way around this?
|My System Specs
|08 Jul 2011
Windows 10 64 bit
It's designed that "normally" when you plug in a headset it mutes the rear speakers. You don't want that anyway as you will get feedback through the mic with the speakers on (one of the reason people use a headset/mic rather than a desktop mic and PC speakers).

Build it and drive it, that's my motto! These are cars, not pieces of sculpture, gas is getting expensive, and the highways are getting clogged and there's no better time than now to get out there and enjoy that special car. How better to do it than behind the wheel of this great '41 Willys coupe that was built to cruise?
With a fiberglass body from Antique and Collectable Body in Buffalo, New York, this Willys looks killer in 2-stage Hot Hues Radison Red with polished aluminum wheels. There are no wild graphics, no scoops or flares, just the traditional Willys shape and some clean bodywork to create a car that makes a statement without shouting it. If you know fiberglass, you know that Antique and Collectable Body puts out some of the nicest stuff in the industry, and the finish work on this car is first rate. The panels are straight and wave-free, there's no sign of orange peel in the paint, and gaps are tidy. The doors open and close with a decisive click and seal up well. This car has clearly been driven it has almost 3200 miles after all but the paint shows like brand new. Someone took very good care of this car while they were out enjoying it.
To my eye, this cars most striking exterior feature is the trick rear brake light; a long LED assembly that spans the entirety of the rear valence and has been smoothed and frenched into place under the clearcoat so that it's virtually invisible until you hit the brakes. Too, too cool! You'll also notice the neat side-view mirrors that match the body's curves exceptionally well, and the early Ford V8 headlight lenses that look exactly right on this Willys.
When you open the hood, you'll know that this car was built to drive! Power is supplied by a GM Performance Parts crate 502 making 502 horsepower and 502 pounds of torque, plenty to motivate this relatively lightweight car with authority. But you'll also notice that the engine bay is well-engineered and functional. There's not a lot of dress-up and flash under here aside from the cool custom-built air intake on top of the carburetor. A set of ceramic-coated headers dumps into a custom-built exhaust system featuring Flowmaster mufflers that exhale through custom tips under the running boards. You'll also find a well-laid-out wiring harness, lines and accessories, a big radiator with an electric fan, and a dead-nuts-reliable carbureted intake system. A pair of electric fans was added to the inner fender wells to help extract engine heat from that tight engine compartment, a clever idea. Still, this engine is pure function, which is just as it should be on a driver. Having a flawless, polished, chromed, painted, pinstriped engine might discourage you from actually driving the car! Instead, the builder of this car focused on getting the mechanicals 100% reliable so he could hit the road. The workmanship under here is first-rate, don't get me wrong, it just isn't built to wow show crowds. The only person this car is designed to impress is the driver, and it does that exceptionally well.
The engine is backed by a built TCI 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission with an 1800 RPM stall converter, and features a deep overdrive for effortless highway cruising. A Lokar shifter controls the transmission and has a vintage look. Out back, you'll find a Currie 9-inch Ford rear end stuffed full of 4.11 gears, a Detroit Locker limited slip and 31-spline Mosier axles. This beefy powertrain is definitely up to the rigors of the road, even considering the massive power being churned to the tires. And again, it tells you that the owner was all about making it reliable, tough, and fun to drive.
The chassis is an Art Morrison tube frame that has been powdercoated gloss black for durability. Up front, the suspension consists of tubular upper and lower A-arms with Alden Eagle adjustable coilover shock absorbers. The rack-and-pinion steering is manual, with a Flaming River setup that includes a polished tilt steering column. Out back, the narrowed 9-inch hangs off a custom 4-link rear suspension that rides on another pair of those Alden Eagle coilovers. The 4-wheel disc brakes are fed by stainless steel brake lines that will last forever and you'll see a set of matching stainless fuel lines running right alongside for a trick look. Of course, for the true Pro-Street look, the rolling stock is a traditional big-n-little combination featuring Weld Racing polished aluminum wheels with knock-off style centers. Up front, the Hoosier tires are 26×7.5R15s and the rears are massive 31×13.5R15s.
The interior is a great environment for getting down to the business of driving and has clearly been designed for long-haul comfort. The charcoal gray upholstery looks awesome with an almost OEM feel, which is not surprising given the seats out of a late-model GM truck. The combination of leather and suede on the seats is both comfortable and stylish, and this is an interior you'll be happy to both sit in and admire. The center console is custom fabricated from aluminum, and houses the remote switches for the power windows, ignition and other electronic controls. The aluminum center stack houses the Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo system and HVAC controls from Vintage Air. A pair of simple round gauges from Classic Instruments is housed in front of the Grant steering wheel, while a Sun tachometer is perched on the dashboard up near the windshield for a vintage racer feel. For battery and fuse block access, the passenger seat folds forward, and check out the aircraft-style swivel lights on the headliner cool! The trunk has been professionally finished as well featuring more charcoal faux leather and carpet; all accessed with heavy-duty electric struts that open the lid with the touch of a button.
This car also includes a thick binder full of receipts for every single component that went into the construction so you'll know what you have and how to operate it. There's also a professional appraisal pegging the value of this incredible street machine at $110,000. And to make it easy to title and drive, it carries an authentic 1941 Willys data tag and VIN.
We have trailer queens, and if you want one, give us a call to check them out. But rarely do we get a car that was actually built to drive like this one was, while showing like a piece of jewelry. Sure, they're all cars and they can all hit the road equally well, but the fellow who built this car knew from the start that it was a driver, not a show piece and spent his money where it mattered most. He built a reliable, powerful, fun bruiser that has already covered more than 3000 miles. If you're the kind of guy who likes to drive and enjoy his hardware, you owe it to yourself to check out this fabulous Willys and see if you don't agree with the builder that getting there is all the fun.
