Spin doctors can remedy an ailment, but
rarely can they cure the disease.
—Sam Singer (1995)
For too long, for too many organizations, a good defense has been their primary offense. Success was a matter of fending off change. The typical mindset could be characterized like this: "Questions? Suggestions? Recommendations? Concerns? They sound like attacks to me. First, let's prove that we've been right all along. Then, let's discredit the people who made those scurrilous attacks. Who knows what impact this could have on our policies, our programs, our bottom line, and our ideology! Report to your battle stations!" Today, in a world of exploding diversity and exponential change, any organization with this attitude might wake up to find that it has successfully isolated itself from society, with little understanding of what its valuable role might be.
The status quo is formally defined as "the existing state of affairs." Another definition could be "a ticket to obsolescence." Let's face it—there is no more "business as usual." There is no more status quo. We're headed one way or the other, either toward breakthroughs or breakdowns.
Jaap van Ginneken, who is affiliated with the Amsterdam School of Communications, puts it this way: "All too often, we approach opinions and attitudes as if they were a brick with an obvious permanence." In

LAHAINA, Hawaii — Kansas made its share of mistakes, allowing Georgetown to go on runs that prevented the Jayhawks from pulling away.
When the game was on the line, though, Kansas came through — a big step for such a young team.
Thomas Robinson had 20 points and 12 rebounds, Travis Releford hit two big free throws and the No. 14 Jayhawks made the big plays down the stretch to hold off pesky Georgetown 67-63 in the first round of the Maui Invitational on Monday night.
"We handled adversity really good and hit some big shots," said Kansas guard Tyshawn Taylor, who fought off leg cramps to score 16. "We kept our composure."
Playing in front of a largely pro-Kansas crowd inside Lahaina Civic Center, the Jayhawks (2-1) found a way to win against a team that wasn't about to back down.
Releford made the biggest plays, getting his hand on a steal that set up a layup by Elijah Johnson, then sinking two free throws with 15 seconds left. Releford ended the game with a heady play, diving for a loose ball after a miss by the Hoyas, then calling timeout to help the Jayhawks move into the semifinals against UCLA on Tuesday.
"Travis made about three great plays for us to ice the win," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "He did a lot of good things late. He needed that individually and we needed that, too."
Kansas' closing stretch helped frustrate Georgetown coach John Thompson III.
The Hoyas (2-1) kept up with the Jayhawks most of the way, hitting one big shot after another each time Kansas went on a run. Georgetown just couldn't stop Robinson from getting to the rim — he had at least a half-dozen dunks — and came up just short when Jason Clark's 3-pointer with 5 seconds left was offline.
Clark led Georgetown with 15 points and Hollis Thompson had 14.
"It's frustrating," Thompson III said. "The things that we can control, we should control. We're going to play against a lot of good teams that are going to do things where there's nothing you can do, but there are a few things we can control. We're not going to be singing this young team song all year."
Kansas was picked by the Big 12's coaches as co-favorites to win its eighth consecutive conference title along with Texas A&M, despite losing Marcus and Markieff Morris, Josh Selby and several other key players from last season.
That was a surprise to Self, particularly after his highly regarded recruiting class was trimmed in half to three before the season even started.
Kansas lost forward Braeden Anderson due to the Big 12's policy on partial qualifiers, and questions about the transcripts of shooting guard Ben McLemore and forward Jamari Traylor made them ineligible.
Still, the Jayhawks are talented, led by Robinson and Taylor.

Generous, billowy curtains gently sweep guests into the Continentale from Florence's busy Ponte Vecchio—a medieval bridge spanning attractions such as the Ufizzi Gallery and the Pitti Palace. The crown jewel of the fashion design Ferragamo family's small chain of hotels, Continetale pays homage to the happy-go-lucky feel of the '50s and '60s with bubble-gum pink accents—a time warp in the middle of the romantic Italian city. Here, vintage and contemporary style is offset by just the right amount of playful kitsch. The cocktail lounge's bar glows in pastel tones, and the cozy breakfast room's pink-upholstered furnishings continue the mood without crossing into camp. Nods to glamorous vintage design are scattered throughout the hotel, but evenly balanced out by the color composition's happy-go-lucky charm.
Michele Bönan
Florentine architect Michele Bönan chose elegant and inviting white colors in an attempt to evoke harmony, simplicity, and fantasy in the re-design of this 14th century building. Time plays a subtle role in the design philosophy of the Continentale hotel and its scattered collection of clocks and watches will help you remember to take a break. Such as at the magnificent "La Terrazza", which is located on the top floor of the medieval Consorti tower and is the ultimate location to meet for a cocktail or a yoga class surrounded by the most beautiful views of Florence.
19th Century Noir
Sheer-draped beds and flowing curtains catch the Tuscan light in the hotel's 43 guestrooms, yet they also evoke the noir feeling of a 19th century steamer cabin, thanks to well-placed steel and leather accents. Black and white photographs taken by fashion designers such as Pucci and Fabiani in Florence in the 50s and 60s complete the glorious modern look.
Leonardo Ferragamo
In Italy, family is everything. At barely twenty years of age, Leonardo Ferragamo entered the family empire of luxury goods, Salvatore Ferragamo, the choice of stars such as Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren. Within a few short years he was responsible for the creation and development of their menswear line, eventually becoming director of sales and development. Ferragamo's greatest love is sailing, a passion that led him to purchase the Nautor yacht company in 1998. These days, he heads the Lungarno Collection of contemporary design hotels— a tribute to the elegance and refined craftsmanship of Tuscany and to the grand style that his family is famous for.

Be THAT Mom: 15 Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipes for After SchoolBrooke McLay
Oh, I know. We're modern women. We work. We weight lift. We don't have time for the retro sundries of the 1950s housewife. And still…
Don't you find yourself fighting against the ideal…just a leetle? Don't you find yourself aching with the slightest bit of guilt when you can't be there to walk your tots to and from school, or welcome them home in a Leave it to Beaver apron, eyes wide with anticipation over the stories of their day? I do. I sometimes pine for the simpler days. Wish I could be that TV mom I grew up with in my head. The one with high cheekbones and arms outstretched as she padded her way in mid-high heel about the house, vaccuming with an Electrolux, and tucking pin curls behind her ears.
My life as a mother is a far cry from such absurdities. But, the beginning of the school year makes me try a little harder to give my kids classic memories. It's a good time to indulge in the comfort of traditions, too. Plus, don't you just want ONE day of the year when you're "that" mom?! The one waving neighborhood kids into the house, tucking them around homebaked cookies and giant glasses of milk, and talking about their days before shooing them off to finish homework?
Well, we may not be able to do it every day, but this year, we're gonna do it for at least one of our days, dangit. I've gone through and pulled together 15 modern twists on the most classic recipe ever. 15 Chocolate Chip Cookies gone all 2013. A little bit crazy, a whole lotta gorgeous, just as good as the original. Sound like any mom you know? (Hint: that's you, dollface.) Happy New Year of School!

Sox clobbered by Indians, lose fifth straight at home
If not for the White Sox, it's very probable Cleveland would not be in the hunt for an American League playoff spot right now.
A five-run fourth inning that included two home runs was more than enough for the Indians in an 8-1 victory Saturday at U.S. Cellular Field. It was Cleveland's 11th consecutive win against the Sox, who fell to 2-14 in their past 16 games overall.
Chicago (58-90) also dropped to 2-14 against the Indians this season, the most losses the White Sox have had against them since 1952. Cleveland (80-68) is 66-66 against the rest of the major leagues.
"We've single-handedly put them in the playoff race basically," catcher Josh Phegley said. "I don't know. They've got our number and it's something."
[MORE: Purcey turns his own fortunes around for Sox]
Righthander Ubaldo Jimenez (12-9) stymied the White Sox in an efficient performance highlighted by eight strikeouts. He scattered eight hits -- seven singles -- with one walk in falling two outs shy of his first complete game in two years.
Cleveland (80-68) attacked early against Andre Rienzo (2-2), sandwiching two bloop singles around a walk to load the bases with one out in the first. But Rienzo struck out Michael Bradley then got Asdrubal Cabrera out at first to escape without allowing a run.
Cabrera got the better of Rienzo the next time with a two-run home run to right-center, giving Cleveland a 2-0 lead in the fourth.
The damage wasn't over. After Cabrera's homer, Rienzo walked Jason Giambi and gave up a single to Yan Gomes, setting the stage for Lonnie Chisenhall.
Chisenhall responded with a three-run blast that landed in nearly the same place as Cabrera's, just over the "Patio" sign in right-center.
Michael Bourn followed with a single to become the fifth consecutive hitter to reach against Rienzo. That streak ended on a Nick Swisher fly out to center.
"I need to figure out to throw the ball low," Rienzo said. "If I throw the ball up, the ball will go flying."
Fatigue could be an issue for Rienzo, who started the year representing his native Brazil in the World Baseball Classic in Japan prior to spring training. But he wasn't looking to make excuses after the second-shortest outing of his rookie season.
[RELATED: Santiago says he's not tiring, but innings are building]
"I never play in September before," he said. "But I don't feel tired. I feel good. I need to figure out little things to help me. If I can figure them out, I know I'll make the ballclub next year. It's simple."
Rienzo gave up five runs on seven hits with four walks and two strikeouts in four-plus innings. It came two starts after he allowed five runs on five hits in only three innings at Boston on Sept. 1.
"He's pitching at 1-0, 2-0 all the time and so it seems like every hitter is in a good hitter's count pretty much the whole night," manager Robin Ventura said. "He's walking leadoff guys and you can't do that without getting punished for it and that's what that team does. They can whittle you down and make you throw strikes and make you pay for it when you put guys on."
The Sox managed some hits off Jimenez, but did little to threaten him or get him out of his rhythm. Their first five hits were singles, two coming on bloops and another on a bunt.
Chicago didn't get a runner past second against Jimenez. Only once had a runner even reached second before Josh Phegley hit a soft pop fly that landed for a double down the left-field line with two outs in the seventh.
He was stranded at second just as he was in the third when he and Marcus Semien opened with back-to-back singles. But Jimenez got out of that jam by striking out DeAza and Alexei Ramirez around a pop out from Gordon Beckham.
The Sox finally did chase Jimenez but not until there was one out in the ninth and the game already decided. Back-to-back singles by Avisail Garcia and Conor Gillaspie ended Jimenez's night.
Dayan Viciedo greeted reliever Chen-Chang Lee with a single to load the bases. Phegley's sacrifice fly scored Garcia so Chicago could avoid the shutout.

Different and delicious. I roasted 1 lb. of the sweet potatoes (cooking for two) but used the full amount, or very nearly, of the dressing ingredients. I noticed from a similar recipe on this site that cumin was added, so I put in a pinch of that. This is the tastiest side dish we've had in a long time; well worth repeating.flag if inappropriate
Thanks for the dissertation on tubers, it was quite interesting (really!). As for the "fasting controversy", I'm quite certain that the person who questioned why someone would go through the bother of cooking this if he/she was fasting was clearly joking. People do that sometimes . . . .flag if inappropriate
Potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams are not related to each other. The common potato, Solanum tuberosum, is not a root crop; it is the swollen tip of an underground stem, a tuber that stores starch in order to support the leafy plant above the soil. If the plant remained undisturbed it would eventually bear a small green fruit, similar to an unripe tomato. The sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is the swollen root of a member of the morning glory family. Faulty translations from native Indian names may have caused confusion - both plants originated in the Andes, and the names may have been similar, but the sweet potato is the descendant of a wild plant whose remains were found in Peruvian caves and which was domesticated a thousand years before the time of the Incas. There is no other link between the sweet potato and the common Irish potato. Yams are tubers of a plant from the genus Dioscorea which is related to grasses and lilies. The term "yam" is often used to describe tropical root crops like the sweet potato and taro, but they are not related. It is an ancient plant that probably evolved in Asia and Africa. Its high starch content makes it an important food resource in New Guinea. Some varieties are considered poisonous, but the island people have learned to remove the toxin. The "yams" in our local markets are a safe, nutritious variety of sweet potatoes traveling under an assumed name. Widespread usage will eventually make yams a legitimate term for the sweet potato - accepted by everyone other than taxonomists.flag if inappropriate
There are over 100 varieties of sweet potatoes. There is a repository in Peru. Yams are what is common in the USA.flag if inappropriate
I loved these sweet potatoes! They were a bit too spicy for my kids and husband, but I thought they were wonderful! I will be making these quite often.flag if inappropriate
This is a great recipe for Sweet Potatoes. I wonder why we STILL have so much trouble with the Sweet Potato vs. Yams issue. I will wager none of us have ever laid eyes on a yam. We confuse the darker orange sweet potatoes for yams. They are all Sweet Potatoes. Sweet potatoes and yams are completely un-related.flag if inappropriate
I used sweet potatoes AND yams for this recipe, and it was delicious as written.flag if inappropriate
Delish!!! Will make again - everyone loved it.flag if inappropriate
Did anyone make this dish ?flag if inappropriate
In Florida, yams and sweet potatoes are the same color after cooking.flag if inappropriate

Excerpt: Google's Larry Page, The Untold Story: His Incredible Comeback
One day in July 2001, Larry Page decided to fire Google's project managers. All of them. It was just five years since Page, then a 22-year-old graduate student at Stanford, was struck in the middle of the night with a vision. In it, he somehow managed to download the entire Web and by examining the links between the pages he saw the world's information in an entirely new way.
The Real Reason Google Killed Reader
Larry Page Reminded Us Why We Love Google Today
Larry Page, Google's CEO and co-founder, closed out the Google I/O keynote today with a sentimental, almost subdued speech. He didn't sound like a CEO. He sounded like a guy in charge of a company he genuinely thought could change the world. And it was a wonderful reminder that Google used to be, can be, and in many ways still is, so much more than a company.
Larry Page Reveals His Mystery Throat Condition
If you thought Google co-founder Larry Page sounded horribly sick last time he spoke, it's because he's recovering from vocal cord paralysis, an extremely rare condition that stifles speaking and breathing. Now Page is going public with his illness.
Google Co-Founder Larry Page Really Doesn't Sound Well
Internet deity and Google co-founder Larry Page was just speaking live to investors for Google's quarterly earnings call, and he sounds horrible. What the hell is going on here?
Larry Page: 'We're Crazy, I Know It, And I Like It'
Larry Page doesn't accept 10 per cent better, nor does he accept 50 per cent, 100 per cent or 500 per cent better. In an era of modest revision, the Google co-founder expects his company's products to outperform the status quo by no less than 10 times. Because how else are you going to change the world?
Google Glasses Still Make You Look Nerdy
If you're Katy Perry, you'll look dumb wearing the Google Glasses — at least in their current prototype form. And unfortunately, being a Google billionaire won't make it any easier to pull off the look, either. Larry. Larry…
Google CEO Blasts Facebook For 'Holding Users Hostage'
Even as news spread that Chrome was now the world's most popular web browser, Facebook ended up as the focal point in last night's discussion between Google CEO Larry Page and talk show host Charlie Rose. Rose asked what's on a lot of people's minds: Given Facebook's mammoth IPO, was Larry Page worried?

October 13, 2015
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) -- Actor Jude Law is adding to his knowledge of Thomas Wolfe by visiting the places where the author lived and worked in Asheville.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reported that Law visited Asheville earlier this week to prepare for his role in "Genius," a movie about the relationship between Wolfe and his publisher Max Perkins, played by Colin Firth.
Tom Muir is historic site manager of the Thomas Wolfe Memorial State Historic Site. He says he took law on Wolfe's newspaper route and walked with him on the streets that took Wolfe to church and prep school.
They also ate at the former location of a downtown saloon that appeared in Wolfe's 1929 novel, "Look Homeward, Angel."
Wolfe was born Oct. 3, 1900, at a house in Asheville.

Poor customer service
I made an online purchase of cartridges on 28 dec 2013. There was a server error. However the payment was successful on 30.12.2013. {also confirmed by the bank that HP had claimed the payment on 30.12.2013}. Till date [7.1.2014], the product has been shown to be payment failure [inspite of customer rep confirmation the payment success]. Promises are made to deliver the product each day by each rep, yet no one has done so far. Every day I have to spend a lot of time calling the customer service and tell the whole story again and again from the begining. One of the rep even read out an internal email which directed them to despatch the product since the payment has been received. He also wanted 24 hours to resolve the situation and he disappeard and never called back to update me on the issue.
One particular rep, sends an email stating that the payment was a failure. When i call back, another rep attends the call and confirms the payment. EVeryone wants 24 hours to solve the issue and till date (9 days) it has not been solved.
I feel frustrated, hopeless, anxious and extremely unpleasant about the entire experience. Not only I am losing my hard earned money, i also lost my peace of mind. I would never recommend HP for anyone. The glorious days of HP are long gone.

I first bought this product a couple of years ago, and fell in love with it, but it's very clearly been reformulated recently, because it's not as good as it used to be. The product is like a wand concealer in a tube that you apply on the eyelids as concealer or eyeshadow base. The old version was a bit dry and pasty-looking, but worked like magic. This new formula is smoother and more creamy, and at first seems perfect. It spread easily over my eyelids and dried quickly (but not too quickly), and seemed to help my Nars powder eyeshadow go on more evenly. But after a few hours, the eyeshadow had ALL slid into the crease in a nasty blue stripe, worse than if I'd used nothing at all. OK, so I've got oily eyelids, but this just seemed to magnify the problem. I think it's OK on its own - it still slides, but at least it's skin-colored, so it's not so obvious. But as an eyeshadow base it's no-go. And at �18 a pop it's not a cheap mistake to make.

I actually got this as a GWP last week. I don't know how I have lived without this product - it gets rid of the dark circles under my eyes,evens out the lids and makes the eyeshadow stay put all day. I will definitely purchase when this runs out.

I agree with the other reviewers. I received this in Linen as part of the NM gwp so I'm not sure I would pay retail for it yet but I was impressed with my first use of it. The color is very natural and definitely stays put. I've tried several of the products CryMeaRiver mentions in her review below and this is on par with or better than most. I do have one slight complaint about the packaging...I don't like the idea of applying the wand over my eye area repeatedly so I swipe a bit onto my finger then dot it on. This also helps warm the product up and makes it easier to blend.

I have this in linen and love it so much. It acts as an eyeshadow base and smoothes over dark circles and capillaries to create a perfect base for eyemakeup. Makes my eyeliner smudge proof and eyeshadow last all day. It also brightens and opens up the eye area. :)

i have super oily lids... so this really helps prevent the creasing of eyeshadow for like 4/5 hours before touch up... which is like a miracle product for me! i have this in bisque and it blends in w/ my natural lids color... then i set it w/ some powder. even though it's expensive, around $27... i think it's worth it and will last me for a while before repurchasing.

I have this in both Linen (pale, neutral nude) and Wheat (slightly darker and a bit more yellow). I use Linen in the winter and Wheat in the summer.
First of all, my dark circles go all the way around my eyes, and my lids are a little discolored, and this product evens out my lid colour beautifully. I don't even bother with eyeshadow half the time.
This also does seem to make my shadows last a little longer, and stay truer to their colour. Not perfect, but better than anything else I've tried. (Similar to Almay Amazing Lasting, but this doesn't look quite as chalky. I couldn't wear the Almay without shadow.) continued >>

I am completely sold on this product! I'm not usually given to hyperbole, and am very careful to consider long-term quality and value before heaping on the praise. But this stuff basically retexturizes and smooths out my eyelid skin, masking dark uneven color, while giving a (dare I say it?) much younger appearance to my eyes. Wheat is the perfect color for me, repurchase worthy for sure.

NC20, Hazel-Green eyes, sensitive skin, frosted hair>>I was anxious to try this product since I have had so many disappointments with eye bases and looking for the "perfect" one. I have such fair skin that is translucent that you could probably blood type me just by looking at my eyelids..LOL! I needed something that covers well but also performs and this eye base does just that! It's pigmented, easy to blend, and sets rather quickly. I chose the Wheat shade which goes perfectly with my NC20 skin! I have tried MAC paints, Benefit FYeye, Ultima II Fade Not Crease Not, Alexandra de Markoff's Disguise For Eyes, etc..and this by far, is the best! No pasty applications, nice pigment, no crepiness, and NO creasing of shadows! Plus, you get a variety of shades to choose from! I have finally found my perfect eyebase! Holy grail status!

"And you do not find it odd in the slightest that so many Jedi refuse to be their open and helpful selves, instead dueling you?" Kaan laughed, backing up and raising his lightsaber above his head. His fingers gripped the lightsaber as the Mirialan began to circle the defending female. She continued her Soresu, keeping on the defensive. Kaan was not surprised, since many Jedi were defensive yet came out on top in duels. The most prominent of these had always been Master Kenobi, without a doubt.
Kaan was, however, still without answers to all the questions that were rushing through his mind. These questions ranged from the identity of the masked man wearing black to the Empire's intentions. If the Empire had sent her there to find and kill him, she would not do so with Soresu any time soon.
"How many of the Jedi you have 'saved' are still alive, youngling? Does the man in black have knowledge of where they go after they leave your mighty presence? Why would I be any safer out there than where I currently reside?" Master Lumen asked before rushing forwards once again, slashing his lightsaber downwards at the woman.
Meanwhile, the Mirialan unclipped his second lightsaber with the force and moved it behind his back. While the woman was preoccupied with the new attacks, the Jedi toned down the power of the second lightsaber into practice levels before igniting it and moving it to launch an attack from Ana's side.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance,
the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe,
are challenged by this point of pale light.
Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark.
In our obscurity in all this vastness there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

Ranch-fresh Texas collection heads to auction in Indianapolis
1932 Cadillac, said to be a prototype for a V-16 convertible Victoria. Photos courtesy Motostalgia Auctions.
In the 1970s, Jack, who prefers not to give his last name, moved from Wisconsin to the Texas Hill Country with his wife, in an effort to improve his failing health. With them, they brought a modest and Cadillac-intensive car collection, with the hope that circumstances would one day allow the restoration and further enjoyment of the cars. Four decades on, that's not been the case, and this May, Jack's ranch-fresh collection of five cars and a 1937 Kozy Coach travel trailer will cross the auction block in Indianapolis, billed by Motostalgia as The Barn Find Collection of Texas.
1933 Cadillac V-12 coupe.
Calling it a barn find is a bit of a misnomer, since the owner never lost track of the cars and will be on hand to supervise their sale. One of the more interesting lots is a 1932 Cadillac V-12 five-passenger convertible coupe, carrying body number one. Built upon the 370-B chassis and bodied by Fleetwood, the five-passenger convertible coupe, body style 5085, was priced from $4,995, making it among the most expensive offerings in Cadillac's 1932 V-12 product range. In the depths of the Great Depression, such cars enjoyed extremely limited production, and it isn't clear how many survive today.
1938 Cadillac limousine, reportedly purchased new by Philip Knight Wrigley.
Jack's 1932 five-passenger convertible coupe was delivered new to a customer in California, and found its way into the hands of a marque collector in the 1950s. In the 1960s, it was cosmetically restored under this owner's care, and then purchased by Jack in the early 1970s.
1923 Milburn Electric Model 27L coupe.
Another of Jack's Cadillacs, a 1938 Cadillac Series 90 V-16 Fleetwood Limousine, reportedly once belonged to Philip Knight Wrigley, heir to the Wrigley chewing gum fortune. Befitting a man of his financial stature, the Cadillac was a special-order car, delivered with rear seating for two instead of the usual four (with jump seats).
1908 Reo Roadster.
Two of the more unique offerings were acquired from a lawyer friend in Wisconsin, who'd taken them in trade for legal services rendered. One, a 1908 Reo Roadster, includes both a detachable tonneau and alternative "turtle back" rear deck, while second is a rare battery-powered 1923 Milburn Electric Model 27L Brougham, built in the company's final year of production before being acquired by General Motors.
1937 Kozy Coach travel trailer.
Fans of vintage travel trailers will appreciate the 1937 Kozy Coach, purchased by Jack from a Wisconsin farmer in the 1960s. The farmer's intention was to enjoy the trailer on trips away from the farm, but it was said to have been used just once during his three decades of ownership. Under Jack's care, which now stretches into nearly five decades, the Kozy Coach had also been used just once before heading into storage in Texas.
Motostalgia's 2015 Indianapolis Brickyard Auction will take place on Friday, June 12, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Indiana. For additional details, visit Motostalgia.com.
UPDATE (16.June): the 1932 Cadillac sold for $286,000; the 1933 Cadillac sold for $55,000; the 1938 Cadillac Fleetwood limousine sold for $46,750, the 1923 Milburn Electric sold for $165,000; and the 1937 Kozy Coach travel trailer sold for $66,000.
Motostalgia Auctions and SVRA announce joint venture
The SVRA's Trans-Am class runs at Circuit of the Americas. Still image from video below.
This year, the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association will host 18 vintage racing events from coast to coast, at which an estimated 5,000 drivers will participate. Given this captive market, a tie-in to an auction company makes perfect sense, and on February 19, Motostalgia announced it will be entering into a long-term relationship with the SVRA to host sales at select vintage racing events, beginning in 2015.
The first such auction will take place during the SVRA's Brickyard Vintage Racing Invitational, scheduled to take place from June 10-14 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Though details are still being finalized, Motostalgia is planning a gala and auction preview for Thursday, June 11, followed by the auction itself on June 12. Additional sales will likely be added to the SVRA racing calendar, though it's not yet clear how many and at which events.
Founded in 1981, the SVRA sanctions vintage races at renowned tracks from coast to coast, including Sebring, Road America, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Mid-Ohio, Watkins Glen, Sonoma (formerly Sears Point) and Willow Springs. In 2013, the series introduced a U.S. Vintage Racing National Championship at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.

Scale cars of Brazilian artist to cross the block
Photos courtesy Motostalgia.
By day, Leonarde Pavani runs a newsstand in Sao Paulo, Brazil, but his spare hours are spent constructing intricately detailed models of classic sports and racing cars. Counting the time spent researching a model prior to the start of scratchbuilding, Pavani spends between two and four months building each car, ensuring that virtually no detail is overlooked. At this weekend's Motostalgia auction in Austin, Texas, a collection of 20 cars built by Pavani will be offered for sale, with the lot expected to fetch between $20,000 and $30,000.
Each model contains between 1,300 and 1,500 pieces, most hand-crafted from aluminum, brass, plastic or other materials. Dimensions for bodies and frames are obtained from factory blueprints (when available), backed up by photographs unearthed in Pavani's research, most of which is conducted over the Internet. Though not as polished as some of the other scratch-built models we've featured, Pavani's works have an undeniably charming folk art feel to them, and each one-of-a-kind creation shows an artist's eye for detail.
Per Antonio Brunet, co-founder of Motostalgia Auctions, Pavani and his previously unknown work were discovered quite by accident, while Brunet was filming a vintage-car-hunting show for the Discovery Channel in South America. Seeing the film crew on the street near his newsstand, Pavani made repeated attempts to catch the eye of the show's producer, each met with an (increasingly less gentle) rebuff. Finally, to placate Pavani, the producer agreed to have a look at one of the Brazilian's creations, and was impressed by the model's level of detail. That's where Brunet got involved, and quickly recognized that he was looking at something exceptional.
For his part, Pavani never expected to make a living (or even supplemental income) off his hobby, but that may change once his work is discovered by collectors. Depending upon the interest in the lot of 20 models being sold this weekend, Pavani may be spending less time at the newsstand and more time at his workshop.
The models are scheduled to cross the block as part of Motostalgia's Grand Prix Auction on Saturday, November 16. For additional details, visit Motostalgia.com.
UPDATE (2.December, 2013): The Pavani models sold for a hammer price of $9,200.
Tazio Nuvolari's last racer, a 1950 Cisitalia Abarth 204 A Spyder Sport, heads to auction
The ex-Nuvolari Cisitalia Abarth 204 A Spyder Sport. Images courtesy of Motostalgia.
Tazio Nuvolari's prewar racing exploits are the stuff of legend, and Ferdinand Porsche himself once remarked that the Italian was "the greatest driver of the past, the present and the future." Following the conclusion of the Second World War, Nuvolari, then in his mid-50s, returned to compete in the occasional race, but he was no longer the dominant force he'd been in his youth. His final race, behind the wheel of a 1950 Cisitalia Abarth 204 A Spyder Sport, saw him finish first in class at the 1950 Palermo-Montepellegrino Hillclimb. Now, for the first time since 1978, Nuvolari's last race car will be offered for sale at auction.
Already significant as the final chapter for Cisitalia and the beginning chapter for Abarth, the 204 A Spyder Sport is an important piece of racing history. Chassis 04, fitted with 1.1-liter engine 014-1090, is well-documented as the car Nuvolari drove in his final race, and has been in the possession of an Argentinean collector for 35 years. Restored in 2010, the car comes complete with the same footrest used by Nuvolari at the Montepellegrino Hillclimb, as well as the original cork-wrapped steering wheel, the latter no longer fitted to the car to preserve its condition. In 2012, the car was awarded the Premio Speciale FIVA (for the most historically significant car) at the Mille Miglia, and was later displayed at the prestigious Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este.
Chassis 04 was built by Cisitalia in 1948, then modified by Abarth in April of 1949 (at which time it was also given an Abarth chassis number, 08) and titled as a 1950 Abarth. Upgraded with twin Weber carburetors, the single-cam engine was said to make as much as 80 horsepower, more than enough to make the tube-frame racer competitive in its class. Part of the Squadra Carlo Abarth team, the 204 A Spyder Sport was first raced at the 1950 Giro di Sicilia/Targa Florio, where Nuvolari retired early in the race with a broken gearbox. Its next outing was the Palermo-Montepellegrino Hillclimb, where Nuvolari drove to an in-class victory (and fifth overall) in his final race. Though he never officially retired, Nuvolari never again drove competitively and died of a stroke in 1953.
Squadra Carlo Abarth campaigned the car throughout 1950, earning a single win and a pair of podium finishes. From 1953 until August of 1954, Ernesto Ferri raced the Cisitalia in Europe, but the car was shipped to Argentina later that year. Beginning in October of 1954, chassis 04 was driven at events in South America, first by Jorge Saggese and later by Raul Pereiro and Oscar Victorio Silich.
In 1966, the Cisitalia was acquired by the Asociación Argentina de Automóviles Sport, to be used as a training vehicle for up-and-coming racers. Little is known about the car's successive history until 1978, when it was acquired by noted Cisitalia Expert Dr. Sergio A. Lugo, who has owned the car since.
The Motostalgia sale, to be held in conjunction with the U.S. Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, represents the first time Nuvolari's last race car has been on U.S. soil. The last Nuvolari racer to come to auction, a 1935 Alfa-Romeo 8C-35 Grand Prix car, set a record for the brand when it sold at auction earlier this month for $9.4 million. Motostalgia has not released a pre-auction estimate, but it's worth noting that another Cisitalia Abarth 204 A Spyder Sport, this one without celebrity ties or an extensively documented racing history, was offered at Bonhams 2012 Quail Lodge auction, where it failed to meet the pre-auction estimate of $500,000 to $600,000.
For more information on the Motostalgia sale, scheduled for November 16, visit Motostalgia.com.
UPDATE (2.December, 2013): The 1950 Cisitalia Abarth 204 A Spyder Sport sold for a price of $4.62 million, establishing a new world record price for a Cisitalia sold at auction.

A convicted "magic mushroom" dealer is interested in participated in a Christian-based substance abuse program.
Heather M. Hodgkinson-Rakosky's defense attorney, James Joel Sitterly, said his client "seemed "receptive" to Teen Challenge when he talked to her last week. Teen Challenge is an intense, Christian-based substance program that lasts 12 to 14 months and is for people of all ages with life-controlling addictions.
"She's very much looking forward to being interviewed for it to see if she's accepted," Sitterly said in court recently.
Huron County Common Pleas Judge Jim Conway rescheduled Hodgkinson-Rakosky's sentencing hearing for today and scheduled her to be interviewed for possible acceptance. Conway warned the woman that placing her in Teen Challenge wasn't a certainty, but was a possibility. A judge can't order a defendant to participate in Teen Challenge as a part of probation since it's faith-based, but can do so only if the person voluntarily expresses interest.
On April 10, a jury found Hodgkinson-Rakosky, 33, of Norwalk, guilty of selling "mushrooms" on three occasions to a confidential informant, a man whom she later dated and lived with. She didn't testify and her attorney didn't present any witnesses during her trial. Hodgkinson-Rakosky had her bond revoked and has been in the Huron County Jail since the trial. (NOTE: To read a story about the trial, click HERE.)
Huron County Sheriff's Detective Sgt. Josh Querin coordinated the controlled buys on Sept. 11, 13 and 17, 2012. All the transactions happened in or just outside a North Street apartment in Monroeville while Querin and another deputy maintained nearby surveillance.
In each buy, the informant was dropped off north of the apartment complex and he paid $30 for 3 grams of psilocybin, which he received in plastic sandwich bags. Psilocybin is a solid hallucinogenic crystalline and the main ingredient in what's known as "magic mushrooms."
The informant told Hodgkinson-Rakosky the drugs were for the same guy and he was buying more because the fictional man enjoyed them so much, Huron County Assistant Prosecutor Dina Shenker told jurors during the trial. The informant, who started working for the sheriff's office in June 2012, oversaw about 25 controlled buys in 12 to 18 months. "He worked hard for 12 to 18 months. ... I think there were about nine different defendants," Querin said from the stand.

Animal rights activist Rod Coronado has been returned to prison for friending another activist on Facebook.
Rod Coronado is an activist who has been involved with many different causes and campaigns since the '90s. He has published articles and given lectures on his experiences working with various animal rights groups including The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.
Coronado has been convicted of multiple crimes associated with his activism, including some that were clear violations of Coronado's constitutional free speech rights.
Regardless, he has since publicly renounced illegal and destructive means as effective methods of creating social change. He stated in an open letter from prison "Let our opposition who believe in violence carry the burden for its justification, but let those who believe in peace and love practice a way of life that our society sorely needs now more than ever."
As part of his most recent plea agreement, Coronado was ordered not to use unmonitored computers and not to associate with violent activists or activists who advocate violence. The Facebook action that resulted in Coronado's arrest was accepting a friend request from Earth First! activist Mike Roselle.
But Mike Roselle is not a violent activist. In fact, Mike Roselle has never been charged with a violent crime.
This is a clear example of the government's witch hunt of any activists who are associated with animal rights or environmentalism. This is a clear case of guilty by association, where Coronado is being imprisoned for what the government thinks that people connected to Roselle might have done.
Coronado's Probation Officer also stated that Coronado had been using an unmonitored computer or computer-related device to access Facebook. But court documents seem to state the PO had known about this since March.
Coronado has again and again stated his desire to get away from his past and start a new life, free of violence, but it seems no matter what you do, there are some people who won't let you live down your past.
Rod Coronado was sentenced earlier this month to four months in prison for violating the terms of his probation. When he is released, will he finally be allowed to live his life, or will he continue to be subject to legal hassles? Only time will tell.

Thank you for sharing.
Martha E said it very well. Big Brother is ALWAYS on a witch hunt for the innocent. Let the real quilty get away with their crimes which the governement chooses to overlook!!!!!
Welcome to the brave new world of guilty until (maybe) proven innocent and guilty by association. Goodbye legal rights and the constitution!
but us govt employs torture and the mass murder of civilians with DU wmd's and predator drones. none of them go to jail. what else do you expect? welcome to amerikkka
We live in a crazy world ruled by some who appear to be crazy too.
All that is good get punished. Animals and animal activists suffer. This is a corrupt system.
Yuh think the gov. could concentrate on real crime? Sheesh!
Yeah, I can't figure out why the gov. picks on people who love animals ...... except that they might interfere with capitalism in big-ag farms and ranchers who want all the land for themselves and coal and oil who want our land and resources, instead of protecting the environment and the animals who live there. Think they might have more sway than the animal rights activists?
As long as the ALF/SRM and PETA rule the "animal rights" movement, it is no wonder the government keeps an eye on them.
The ALF has turned into a group of terrorists, sadly. They do more harm to animal protection groups than most of you can imagine. Because of them, it has become hard to do rescue work around here. You get grouped together with fanatic vegans and such.
Jailing someone for using Facebook and having friends there is stupid. But I think the authorities are exasperated enough by those terrorists to try anything, no matter how crazy.
Why are governments so afraid of Animal Rights activists? Is it because they stand for moral, ethics. That they expose the truth about governments being bought by big corporations who make money through the pain and suffering of animals. That they expose the truth about torture and cruelty of farmed animals. That AR people are vegans and vegetarians and no longer eat animals and that the meat industry is losing customers. That AR are no longer under their control and are questioning the government's morals and ethics.
more evidence that this is a police state

So, I desperately need cash to make ends meet so I'm selling my Kimono and accessories.
Apologies for bad pictures - poorly lit room and reliance on camera phone = lame.
The kimono and obi on the right. The obi is a Nagoya obi, therefore half sewn down - it dates from the 70's.
The kimono also dates late 70's and is a heavy winter kimono typically worn by a married woman.
Close up of Obi.
Close up of kimono design.
Furisode Juuban with chrysanthemum emboss design. Utterly beautiful, worn by young unmarried women beneath their outer furisode kimono. Furisode = Long dangling sleeves. Modern dating around 90's.
Red and gold juuban. Typically worn beneath short sleeved kimono. The design is eye catching! Collar is stained but would have a stitch-over collar ontop ordinarily when worn. Dates 70's.
This juuban is rather special - it is entirely red, only the sleeves and waist-down have a crane emboss design - the torso is plain. Being entirely red, this is a rarity and was likely worn by either a young Maiko or Kabuki actor. There is some slight staining from make up around the collar.
Dates 70's.
Ofuku (senior) Maiko wig. Hand made for me by an authentic wig artisan in Japan who works with geisha and kabuki actors. Comes in a huge wooden storage case. Has a full metal interior frame to ensure the style doesn't budge. Weighs a lot to wear. Has a latex hairline for seamless blending. 100% genuine, also real hair. Has no ornaments, just the wig. Worn only once for this photoset. Would be expensive to post if you cannot arrange to collect!!
I'm open to offers of any sort, but please be fair :)
Pass the message on if you know anyone who may have an interest!
Thank you!

Mt. SAC to Host Financial Aid Workshop for High School Seniors
WALNUT, Calif.,—Like many high school seniors, Maria Turrubiartes knew she wanted to go to college, but didn't know how she was going to pay for it. Then she attended Mt. San Antonio College's "Cash for College" workshop two years ago.
"I came out of high school clueless about financial aid options for college," Turrubiartes said. "But Cash for College made everything really clear and much simpler."
Mt. SAC once again will offer free one-on-one financial aid assistance to high school seniors and their parents during its annual Cash for College workshop Saturday, Feb. 7 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., on campus in the Learning Technology Center, Building 6.
Assemblymember Ed Hernandez (D-West Covina), who attended community college before earning his bachelor's degree at Cal State Fullerton, is a co-sponsor of the event.
"I firmly believe that no matter where you start in life, a quality education can help people open doors to a world of possibilities," Hernandez said. "I am the first person in my family to go to college, and I started at Mt. SAC. That is why I came back to help other students and their families gain access to every available resource that could make higher education more affordable. My hope is that this Cash for College event will help students open that first door, and make their dream of college a reality."
The workshop is open to all area high school seniors, regardless of the college they plan on attending. Informational workshops will be offered in English and Spanish. Chinese and Vietnamese interpreters also will be available.
During these difficult economic times, more families are feeling less confident about their ability to pay for college, making it more critical that they apply for assistance.
"Students who want to pursue higher education should not feel that they can't because of a lack of money," said Mt. SAC Financial Aid Director Susan Jones. "There are so many programs available, and we can steer them to those resources."
Cash for College provides on-line application assistance for college-bound students and their parents to complete and file Federal Student Aid and Cal Grant financial aid forms for the 2009-10 academic year. Reservations are required for the one-on-one assistance. The event also helps students maximize their financial aid prospects by meeting the early financial aid deadlines. The state financial aid deadline is March 2.
Parents and students must bring a copy of their Social Security cards or permanent resident cards, and a 2008 federal 1040 tax return and W-2. If 2008 information is not available, a 2007 tax return may be used.
A free continental breakfast or lunch will be provided, and Mt. SAC admission applications will be available, as well as information about the college's Extended Opportunity Programs & Services and the Summer Bridge Program, designed for first-time college students.
For further information and to make an appointment for personal assistance, call (909) 594-5611, ext. 4458.
Mt. SAC "Mows Down" Competition in National Turfgrass Contest
WALNUT, Calif.—Students in Mt. SAC's Turfgrass Science Program literally "mowed down" the competition by garnering first-place honors at the recent annual conference of the National Sports Turf Managers Association in San Jose.
In a highly competitive field of college and university teams from across the country, Mt. SAC sent two teams – one taking home the first-place trophy and a $4,000 cash award and the other team placing third. The prize money will be used to purchase necessary lab equipment.
First-place team members were: Pat Escalera, Geoff Miller, Chaz Perea , Hector Ramirez, and Noe Cardenas (alternate). Third-place winners were: Ricardo Guerrero, Giovanni Murillo, Ryan Rosebeary, Ed Schmachtenberger, and Tom Skelton
Over the past three years, Mt. SAC students have achieved two first-place finishes and two third-place rankings.
"It's very satisfying to do as well as we did," said horticulture professor Brian Scott, who served as coach along with professor Steve Dugas. "The competition just shows us where we stand in relationship to the top-notch turf programs in the country. This is an extremely difficult test, and all of our prep work paid off."
Prior to the contest, students spent over five months in intense study and preparation. Topics ranged from pest recognition and disease identification to water management and drainage.
"The general public has no clue as to what is involved in sports turf management," Scott said. "No one thinks about what goes into managing these surfaces, whether it's a multimillion-dollar stadium or the field our kids play soccer on. This is a highly specialized area. You can't just go out and mow these fields as you would a park."
Demand for turf management specialists is increasing, according to Scott.
"Opportunities for students in this industry are tremendous," he said, noting that Mt. SAC is among the few local colleges offering such a program.
Registration for Mt. SAC's Spring Semester Continues

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 11
Re: Critical essay on soy
Posted By: Shirley Stonehouse
In Response To: Critical essay on soy (Kendra (A+))
Hi Kendra:
I'm an A+ and for 7 months have been drinking soy milk and eating soy products and/or products that contain soy. I started feeling better immediately and to date have had no problems with anything connected with soy!
As Dr. D mentions in his response - BEWARE OF AGENDA-DRIVEN ACTIVISTS!!!
Listen and pay attention to your body ... it's the best guide.
All the best

Definition of Homeopathy
Homeopathy: Founded in the 19th century, a practice that is based on the concept that disease can be treated with minute doses of drugs thought capable of producing in healthy people the same symptoms as those of the disease being treated. This principle is similar to the concept behind exposure therapy for allergies, but the amounts of active medication used in homeopathy are so small as to be almost undetectable. Scientific studies of homeopathy have returned mixed results. It is considered alternative medicine in the US.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary
