Mini Moke fans to celebrate 50th anniversary of the British trucklet

The British military's loss was the motoring public's gain. While Alec Issigonis, the designer of the Mini, thought that the British Motor Corporation might be able to take some business away from Land Rover by building a rugged, Mini-based, air-droppable utility vehicle for the British army, the army thought not. So instead, BMC decided to offer it to the public, and the resulting Mini Moke will now celebrate its 50th anniversary this year.
Only the Royal Navy showed any interest in Issigonis's military vehicle, thinking that the vehicle might be good for zipping about aircraft carrier decks. The army deferred because the same small, 10-inch wheels that helped the Mini maximize its interior space limited his runabout's ground clearance. Still seeking a military buyer, Issigonis added to the vehicle's cross-country capabilities by creating the twin-engine Moke 4 x 4. He proved that it was capable of blasting through snow drifts at 40 MPH, but, from the military's point of view, the added fuel and maintenance costs of the two 848cc four-cylinder engines were too much to overcome.
In 1964, BMC changed its approach, offering the Mini Moke, as it was now called, to the public. Sold under both the Austin and Morris badges, it featured the same 848cc A-series OHV inline-four and integrated four-speed transaxle as the Mini, and the same suspension, too. In the beginning, the Moke was offered in just one color, Spruce Green, and buyers had to dig deeper than the £405 purchase price for such extras as passenger seats, a heater and a windshield washer. (By the way, it's a common misconception that the Moke was offered as a kit car; only completed vehicles were sold throughout the model's life.) The first production Mini Moke was manufactured in January 1964 at BMC's Longbridge factory in Birmingham, England.

American sales brochures for the Moke provided a definition for the name: "Own a four-passenger donkey! The Austin Mini-Moke is as tough and versatile as its namesake, but not half so obstinate. The rugged transverse-mounted BMC engine, combined with front wheel drive, makes it sure-footed on the roughest terrain. Caring a load, caddying around the golf course or coursing over back roads and beaches, the Austin Mini Moke is the real 'can do' vehicle. A lot more economical than a donkey, too!"
BMC had thought that the Moke might appeal to farmers, tradesmen and the like as a utility vehicle. Instead, it became a cult car, thanks in part to its prominent role in the popular British TV series The Prisoner (below). With its carefree appeal (and nearly non-existent weather protection), it was soon a common sight in sun-kissed resorts like Barbados and Macau.
The Moke could transport four people at up to 74 MPH, if they were sufficiently brave, and could be saddled with a maximum load of 706 pounds. With just 37.5 horsepower on tap, acceleration was modest; BMC reported a 0-50 time of 18.6 seconds, and a quarter-mile time of 23.6 seconds.
Like the car's admirers, the Moke's production history had a vagabond, sand-in-your-shoes quality. Production continued at Longbridge until the fall of 1968, and then transferred to Sydney, Australia, where Mokes had been built since 1966. From the fall of 1968, Australian Mokes were given 13-inch wheels, making them more practical for the beach and limited off-road use. In 1977, the 1,275cc Moke Californian was launched, spiffed up with denim seat covers, spoked wheels and tubular bumpers known as "roo bars."
Australian production ended in 1982, and started up again the next year in Portugal, continuing until 1989; buyers could dress up their Mokes with Minilite wheels, metallic paint and tinted windshields. The fourth and final chapter began in 1990, when the rights were sold to the Italian company Cagiva, which produced the Moke in Portugal until 1993. These Mokes, like their contemporary Minis, had 12-inch wheels.

In all, nearly 50,000 Mokes and Moke derivitives were made. Much like the Meyers Manx dune buggy, the car's simplicity and popularity gave rise to a number of copycats over the years. Beyond a couple of concept cars, parent company BMW has shown no interest in dusting off the Moke nameplate – and it's hard to imagine regulators in Europe or North America to ever allow this kind of car to be sold again.
Yet the name and the idea still live on. Australia's Moke International has announced that an updated version of the Moke (shown below on a beach in St. Barth in the French West Indies) has been put into production by Chery in China, using that automaker's running gear. As of this month, the "Classic" Moke is being offered for sale in the Caribbean, and the company also lists dealers in Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Seychelles and Mauritius – though it's unclear when, or if, cars will be sold there.
Fans of the original Moke will gather to celebrate the car's 50th birthday at the International Mini Meeting 2014, scheduled for July 31 – August 3 at the Kent Event Centre in Maidstone, Kent, UK; the club website has all the details.
Four-Links – Vette in a box, Cutlass resto nightmare, twin-turbo Fox-body, diesel Fiero
* There's two sides to the old car hobby: Those who drive their cars and those who don't. On the one hand, you want to take them out and show them off. On the other hand, there's always the danger of getting a ding or scratch. Unless, that, is, you're Hank Graff, whose son recently gave him a 1954 Chevrolet Corvette displayed like a 1/18-scale model car – in a box with transparent sides.
* A less cheerful father-son old car story comes this week from AZCentral (via Jalopnik), which reported on Mario Caperon losing the 1963 Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible that he and his son were restoring. Previously stolen, a DMV error put the Cutlass back into circulation before Caperon bought it; however, a friend of the guy who it was stolen from spotted it, alerted authorities, and then ended up with it – and without having to pay Caperon for the work he and his son already put into the car.
* Knowing that Chevrolet had the Corvette ZR-1 in the works, Ford's SVO group wanted to build a car that would be half the ZR-1's price with the ability to outrun it. The car they dreamed up looked pretty much like any other Fox-body Mustang, but concealed a twin-turbo 5.8L V-8. Reportedly, it didn't enter production because they couldn't find a transmission to hold up behind that engine. (via)
* It sounds like a tractor and it spews black smoke out the exhaust. That's because this 1988 Pontiac Fiero has been fitted with a 1.9L diesel from a 2000 Jetta TDI.
* Finally, the Renault Espace – a minivan denied to Americans but renowned in Europe – turns 30 this year.

Oldsmobile's Hydra-Matic, first mass-produced fully automatic transmission, turns 75
No clutching, no shifting, no problem, right? Automatic transmissions have become more than just ubiquitous in recent decades – they've become all but the only transmission available in newer cars. But it took decades of development and a number of missteps and half-steps before the first mass-produced fully automatic transmission appeared – Oldsmobile's Hydra-Matic, which entered production 75 years ago this month.
The challenge of getting the output from any motivational source – be it steam, electric, or internal-combustion power – to the ground had, at times early in the twentieth century, seemed the central predicament within the larger issue of getting the masses to warm up to the automobile. Shifting a manual transmission – no less, an unsynchronized manual transmission – involved a complicated dance of clutching, double-clutching, rev-matching, and shifting, repeated over and over and often involving heavy and intractable gear levers. Some even pointed out how unsafe the system was, noting that shifting a manual transmission takes a hand off the steering wheel, where it could be better used controlling the car's direction in the days before power steering. And it seemed a common refrain in literature from the time – whether correct or not – that women would generally not own or operate cars with manual transmissions.
Thus ease of operation became one of the main selling aspects for electric vehicles in the 1900s and 1910s: Many, if not all, electrics at the time dispensed with a transmission, requiring only a throttle and brake. Pre-selector transmissions and freewheeling took a bit of the chore out of driving. And many gas-electric hybrids of the day – take, for instance, the Woods Dual Power, the Owen Magnetic, the Walker Dynamotive milk truck, or the Stearns-Knight that Colonel "Ned" Green had built for him – combined internal-combustion engines with generators and electric motors not in an effort to save on fuel, but to dispense with the third pedal to make the vehicles simpler (or in Green's case, simply possible) to drive.
While those attempts to make gasoline-powered automobiles simple to master didn't work out or faded away for various reasons, the two-speed planetary transmission that Henry Ford used in his Model T unquestionably did. Planetary – or epicyclic – gearing had been in use since ancient times, and planetary transmissions had been in use long before Ford first used one on his Model K, long enough for some to consider the design outdated when he chose it for the Model T. Ford believed, however, that the planetary transmission's ease of use (as well as its simplicity and ruggedness) was key to making the Model T a car of the masses; so much, in fact, that he placed the completion of the transmission design at the top of the priority list during the development of the Model T.
Without a doubt, the planetary transmission helped ensure the Model T's success – children could and often did drive the cars – but it still proved tricky to learn, especially for those used to more conventional sliding-gear transmissions, and it still couldn't be considered a true automatic, what with three pedals in addition to a throttle lever and a brake lever that doubled as a gear selector. By the late 1920s and early 1930s, the car-buying public, already familiar with motoring, wanted something even easier to drive. A number of developments would soon come along with the promise of smoother shifting, including Reo's early 1930s Self-Shifter and Chrysler's late 1930s Fluid-Drive, both of which still required a clutch pedal for certain operations, but fully automatic shifting wouldn't come along until the 1940s model year, thanks mostly to a man named Earl A. Thompson.
Thompson, an engineer and inventor from Portland, Oregon, got his foot in the door with General Motors in 1924 with his invention of manual transmission gear synchronizers, a design that finally promised an end to clashing gears and double-clutching and that Cadillac adopted in 1928. He didn't stop there, however. In about 1932 he gathered a group of GM engineers and – initially under the aegis of Cadillac, but later funded by Oldsmobile – began work on what Oldsmobile would eventually release in June 1937 as the optional Automatic Safety Transmission, which used hydraulic pistons to activate two sets of planetary gears for four forward gears. Considered a semi-automatic, the AST still used a clutch for starting, stopping, and shifting into reverse; Thompson's team hadn't yet developed a fluid coupling that would eliminate the clutch.
The true breakthrough of the AST – which ultimately led to the development of the Hydra-Matic – was the hydraulic system that activated the gear changes. Others had developed automatic gear-change mechanisms as well, but used differing means of actuation, whether mechanical (Sturtevant brothers, 1904) or pneumatic (Munro, 1923). Some accounts give credit for the development of hydraulic gear-change actuation to two Brazilian engineers, José Braz Araripe and Fernando Iehly de Lemos. Araripe claimed that he traveled to Detroit at about the time that Thompson began work on the AST and that GM paid him $10,000 for his invention; indeed, Thompson habitually bought up the patents of inventions related to work he pursued, so the work of Araripe and de Lemos could very well have set Thompson on course for developing the Hydra-Matic as it appeared.
Combining a Fluid-Drive-style fluid coupling (not yet a torque converter) to the AST almost seemed a no-brainer after working out the bugs with the latter, and indeed, Thompson's team followed the project through until they had their fully automatic transmission, the Hydra-Matic, which GM's Detroit Transmission Division began to produce in May 1939 and then to ship to Oldsmobile that October for use as an option to the standard three-speed manual transmission in 1940 Oldsmobiles.
For the first time in the history of gasoline automobiles, no clutching or manual gear changing was necessary to operate the vehicle. "(Hydra-Matic) is an entirely new development that makes driving so infinitely simple and easy as to be almost unbelievable," Oldsmobile announced in its brochures, which touted no stalling, no bucking when starting, instant acceleration on tap, improved getaway from stops, even flow of power at all speeds, better traction on snow and ice, and less fatigue from driving.
As Aaron Severson of Ate Up With Motor pointed out in his history of the Hydra-Matic, the transmission used a shifter quadrant with just four positions: Neutral, Drive, Low, and Reverse. In Low, the transmission would use only its first two gears, while Drive would use only first, third, and fourth gears; the only way to use all four gears would be to start out in Low and then shift to Drive after winding out second.
The Hydra-Matic did have its problems – perhaps most noteworthy a jerky shift from second to third that earned it the nickname "Hydra-Jerk" – but it also proved itself well over the following years. Cadillac began to offer it as an option for the 1941 model year and then adapted it for use in M-5 tanks during World War II. After the war, Pontiac began offering the Hydra-Matic (Buick and Chevrolet preferred to forego the Hydra-Matic for their respective automatic transmissions, the Dynaflow and the Powerglide), followed by a number of other companies: Nash, Hudson, Kaiser-Frazer, Willys, Rolls-Royce and Bentley, and even Lincoln. It was the increasing popularity of the Hydra-Matic that led General Motors to act swiftly to lease and later purchase the Willow Run assembly plant from Kaiser following the devastating 1953 fire that swept through the plant in Livonia, Michigan, that built the transmissions.
More importantly, though, the Hydra-Matic introduced the car-buying public to the automatic transmission, paving the way not only for future refinements of the technology, but also for more people to take the wheel and discover the independence and mobility that comes with owning a car.
Four-Links – 2014 anniversaries edition: Crosley, Oldsmobile, Traction Avant, NSX, Rolls-Royce
* For some reason, anniversary news was rampant this past week, so let's round up some of the more interesting of the jubilations. To begin with, Monday marked the 75th anniversary of the introduction of the first Crosleys at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The Crosley Automobile Club included a couple photos from that day in their Crosley of the Month section.
* Tuesday marked a decade since the last Oldsmobile – a red Alero – rolled off the assembly lines. The Detroit Bureau has a rundown on the anniversary and what it meant for GM.
* Next up, Citroen's celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Traction Avant, the pioneering front-wheel-drive car. Ronan Glon at Ran When Parked has more on the Traction Avant's history.
* While the 25th anniversary of the NSX actually took place earlier in the year, Blake Z. Rong over at Autoweek put together an excellent tale of the NSX's introduction, one that involves both crashing press conferences and crashing into deer.

* Finally, this year marks 110 years since Charles Stewart Rolls and Henry Royce met and decided to combine their talents.
Show to commemorate Peterbilt's diamond anniversary

Amid the other big automotive birthday bashes being celebrated this year – the Ford Mustang and Plymouth Barracuda come to mind immediately – we've been made aware of another likewise weighty event, the forthcoming 75th anniversary of one of trucking's grandest names, Peterbilt.
Fittingly, a big show is in the works to be held in California, where Peterbilts have regally ruled the highways for so many years. The 75th Anniversary All-Peterbilt Truck Show will take place October 25 at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds in Stockton. Featured activities will consist of a show and shine, food and music, a raffle and guest speakers. For space considerations, the show field will be limited to 400 straight trucks and 100 tractor and trailer combinations. Pre-registration for show trucks is mandatory.
The show is open not only to Peterbilts of the past, but to the company's predecessor, Fageol. A proud icon of the Pacific Coast and the Rocky Mountains, Peterbilt can trace its roots to 1916. That was when the Fageol brothers, Frank and William, built their first commercial vehicle in Oakland, California, after briefly building cars in Iowa.
Fageol rigs were "assembled" units of premium quality (along with the in-house Twin Coach bus firm), and boasted innovations including fully electric lighting. Fageol nonetheless ran into fiscal woes during the Depression, and a hoped-for merger with Moreland never materialized. Its assets were first sold to Sterling and then purchased in 1939 by T.A. Peterman, from whom today's Peterbilt takes its name. Since then, Peterbilt's niche has been customized premium trucks for a variety of specialty applications, plus Class 8 duty.

Celebration to mark 50th anniversary of Glenn Pray's Corvair-powered Cord 8/10

In August 1964, a once-proud automotive name rose from the ashes like a mechanical phoenix. With longtime brand devotee Glenn Pray at the helm, the Cord Automobile Company began producing coffin-nosed Cords in 8/10 scale, constructed with modern mechanicals and space-age body materials. Next month, those devoted to one of the world's first continuation cars will gather to celebrate the car's 50th anniversary.
Glenn Pray, who died in March 2011 at age 85, was not an automaker by trade. An Oklahoma shop teacher who turned wrenches in his spare time for supplemental income, Pray had a passion for Cord automobiles that ran to his boyhood days, and owned 13 Cords of his own. When the corporate remnants and spare parts of the defunct Auburn Cord Duesenberg Company hit the market in 1960, it was Pray (with financial backing from Chevrolet dealer Wayne McKinley) who acquired them. From there, it was a logical next step to resurrect the Cord name on a new automobile, though neither Pray nor McKinley had the skills to design a new car from the ground up.
Enter Gordon Buehrig, the designer of the original Cord 810, who convinced Pray that the time was right for a smaller version of the same car, carrying the Cord name. Buehrig, then employed by Ford, created a clay model of the proposed car and even supplied an answer to one of its most daunting engineering challenges by suggesting the use of the existing Chevrolet Corvair's drivetrain. In the absence of a better, readily available front-wheel-drive solution, the Corvair's transmission, differential and engine were repurposed for the new Cord, kept in the same orientation with the differential centered over the drive wheels, the transmission in front and the engine in the rear. Though the output from the Corvair's air-cooled, horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine was a modest 140 horsepower, it was sufficient to provide acceptable performance in the scaled-down Cord. At 100 inches, its wheelbase measured 8/10 that of the original Cord 810, and the playful "Cord 8/10″ name was quickly embraced by Cord employees and the media alike (although officially, the car was also the Cord Sportsman).
Perhaps the Sportsman's most unique feature was a body made from U.S. Rubber's "Expanded Royalite" thermoplastic material, consisting of two sheets of ABS plastic with a layer of ABS foam sandwiched in between. The new material was light, strong, and by U.S. Rubber's calculations, significantly cheaper to tool than steel. In a bit of sensationalistic advertising, driver John Fitch piloted a Cord 8/10 Sportsman (the fourth production car built
now lost to history) through a two-layer brick wall at 30 MPH to show the strength of Royalite. While the car came through the stunt with some degree of damage, it was nowhere near the amount one would expect from a comparable steel-bodied car; when denting did occur in the real world, Royalite could be repaired with only the use of an industrial heat gun to warp the material back into proper shape.
Some continuation Cords were fitted with the 180-horsepower turbocharged Corvair engine.
Looking for an automotive application to highlight its new "synthetic steel," U.S. Rubber agreed to provide the Cord Automobile Company with the tooling necessary to create the 8/10's body panels, and further agreed to provide marketing and PR support. This certainly helped the Cord Automobile Company move forward in building the 8/10, but further funding would be needed to take the car (and the company) into full production. A talented public speaker (and by all accounts a charming spokesman), Pray had little trouble attracting investors to assist with funding the new Cord, but this ultimately proved to be his undoing.

With investors taking an active role in the management of the company, the Cord 8/10 Sportsman was rushed into production before Pray believed the car was fully sorted. When the same investors required a component-by-component accounting of the parts used in the 8/10 before Pray had finalized its construction, Pray pushed back and refused to compile the requested information. In January of 1966, he was ousted from the very company he'd founded, and six months later, in July of 1966, the Cord Automobile Company shut the doors of its newly constructed Tulsa, Oklahoma, factory for good.
Felix DeGeyter's collection of Glenn Pray continuation Cords.
That would not be the final chapter on the Cord 8/10, however, as the assets of the company were sold to the Sports Automobile Manufacturing Company (SAMCO) in March 1967. SAMCO produced another 13 examples of the Cord 8/10 before introducing a new design variant that utilized a rear-wheel-drive layout. This, too, proved temporary, and SAMCO ceased building Cords in 1970.
The Glenn Pray Auburn-Cord Group will celebrate 50 years of the Cord 8/10 Sportsman with a gathering of Auburn, Cord and Duesenberg automobiles at the original factory (known as the Pickle Plant) in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, on May 9 and 10. The event will include car shows, parts sales, a Glenn Pray Goodie Bin auction, and an awards banquet that coincides with Broken Arrow's Rooster Day Celebration. Though the event honors the Cord 8/10 Sportsman and recognizes other Auburn, Cord and Duesenberg models, owners of any make and model are welcome to participate.

Boutique American sports car builder Panoz marks its first quarter century
An original Panoz Roadster. Images courtesy Panoz LLC.
In 1989, a small company began building handcrafted sports cars on the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia. Its goal was to recreate the feel of an exotic European sports car while delivering a high degree of reliability and serviceability, and the following year, Dan Panoz launched his first effort, the Panoz Roadster. Though not a name commonly heard in conventional sports car circles, Panoz is alive and well, and the boutique brand is marking its 25th anniversary with a series of limited-production models.
Dan Panoz's career as an automaker began in Ireland, where he attempted to land a job with the Thompson Motor Company (TMC), conveniently located near a family house in Athlone. At the time, TMC was producing a small sports roadster with a chassis designed by Frank Costin, but sales weren't progressing at the needed rate. Hearing that TMC was being closed down and liquidated, Panoz bought the rights to use the Costin chassis and returned to the United States to set up a manufacturing operation. In December of 1989, Panoz Auto Development was born.
The 25th Anniversary Edition Panoz Esperante Spyder.
When Dan Panoz came stateside, he brought with him a pair of TMC engineers, and the group set up operations in a converted Department of Transportation salt storage shed. Though the Costin frame served as inspiration for the car the group would ultimately produce, it was not used in the Panoz Roadster that would debut in prototype form just seven months later, in June of 1990. The original car was an odd mix of ideas: Handbuilt, it carried an ambitious price tag, yet offered no provision for weather protection or even cabin heat. Though it boasted a stainless steel space frame and an aluminum body formed with aerospace manufacturing techniques ("superplastic forming," to be precise), its 5.0-liter V-8 engine was pulled from the decidedly blue-collar Ford Mustang GT.
Six years later, Panoz became the first American automaker to produce an aluminum-intensive vehicle (AIV), when the Roadster received a two-tier chassis constructed of extruded aluminum and a cast-aluminum V-8 engine to match, increasing its aluminum content to 70 percent. The automaker turned to motorsports as well, and Dan Panoz enlisted the help of his father, Don Panoz, to form Panoz Motor Sports. Looking to race-car designer Adrian Reynard for help in designing a competitive platform, Panoz Motor Sports focused its attention to competing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 2006, the brand realized its first class win in the storied race, achieving a goal that had escaped another American sports car builder and racer, Briggs Cunningham.
Panoz AIV Roadster.
Other sports car models joined the Panoz lineup, beginning with the Esperante Spyder in 2001. Today, Panoz builds the Roadster, the Esperante Spyder (and its higher-specification, carbon-fiber-bodied sibling, the Spyder GT), the track-day only Esperante GTS and the (barely) street legal race car, the one-of-one GTR1. To honor the marque's 25th anniversary, Panoz has announced limited-production 25th Anniversary Edition models, beginning with the Esperante Spyder, well-equipped from $189,000. If that's a bit flashy for your tastes or budget, a 25th Anniversary Roadster is in the works, and it's expected to be priced from $99,000. Though no Panoz model is high-volume, anniversary editions will be limited to just 25 units.
Panoz automobiles are priced on par with European equivalents, but it's worth pointing out that the company represents a dying breed of automaker: like Britain's Morgan Motors, Panoz is a small, low-volume automaker rooted in tradition; unlike Morgan, however, Panoz is headquartered right here in the United States.
Morgan Motor Company celebrates 100 years on Pickersleigh Road

Many automakers can make claims about their heritage and old-world craftsmanship, but few can back up those claims quite like the Morgan Motor Company. Not only does Morgan still produce a range of ash wood-framed sports cars by hand alongside three-wheelers that are remarkably similar to Morgan's Runabouts of the 1930s, but it does so in a factory built by Morgan in 1914. Though the Morgan Motor Company celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2012, this year marks yet another milestone: the 100th anniversary of the Pickersleigh Road works.
In 1905, Henry Frederick Stanley Morgan (Harry to his friends, or simply H.F.S.) opened the Morgan & Company Garage and Motor Works on Worcester Road in Malvern Link, Worcestershire, England, in what was originally an automotive repair facility and automobile dealership. By 1909, H.F.S. Morgan had constructed his first three-wheeler, and one year later debuted the Morgan Runabout to the public at the Olympia Motorcycle Show in London. Though business was slow at first, increasing the seating capacity of the Runabout from one to two and changing from a tiller to a steering wheel significantly increased vehicle sales. Spurred by his success, H.F.S. formed the Morgan Motor Company as a private limited company in 1912, appointing his father, the Reverend H.G. Morgan, as chairman (and himself as managing director).
Sales continued to grow in the years preceding the First World War, and by late 1913, it became clear that the firm's Worcester Road factory would soon run out of space. When a nearby parcel of farmland, owned by Earl Beauchamp, became available, its size and proximity to the Worcester Road plant proved to be the deciding factor, and H.F.S. purchased the acreage on Pickersleigh Road in Malvern Link. By the summer of 1914, a pair of factory buildings had risen from the soil, but the onset of World War I would prevent Morgan from moving its manufacturing operations.
When the war ended in 1918, the simplicity of Morgan's Runabouts allowed the company to resume manufacturing almost immediately. The majority of manufacturing operations were transferred from Worcester Road to Pickersleigh Road, and it soon became apparent that more manufacturing space would be needed. Plans were made to enlarge the works on Pickersleigh Road, and the new expanded facility opened in October 1919.
Since that time, the Morgan Motor Company has introduced four-wheelers into its product mix, debuting the 4/4 (denoting four wheels and four cylinders) in 1936. Today, the company may utilize modern components (often from third-party suppliers), but Morgan automobiles are still built by hand, using techniques pioneered in the last century. In recognition of 100 years at Pickersleigh Road, Morgan will be releasing a series of short videos on its history this year. The first installment helps to put a face on those who build Morgan automobiles today, and while production may have evolved in the modern age, it's apparent that none of the passion has been lost.
Lincoln Continentals to be celebrated at the 2014 Hemmings Motor News Concours d'Elegance
1957 Continental Mark II. Photo by Richard Lentinello.
Seventy-five years ago, Edsel Ford – as president of Ford Motor Company's Lincoln division – asked chief designer Eugene T. "Bob" Gregorie to create a vehicle influenced by the European "continental" styling, the long-hood/short-deck cues that, combined with smooth, flowing Zephyr lines, symbolized elegance at its very best. The convertible prototypes that emerged for his (and his sons') private use were so well received that Ford quickly pushed for full production. Within a year, examples were flowing into the hands of high society, Hollywood, and eventually into the garages of even the moderately successful who strove and saved to own one.
Eventually the Continental and the Lincoln Continental came to epitomize the very best the Ford Motor Company had to offer in luxury, while examples made through 1948 became fully recognized Full Classics under the auspices of the Classic Car Club of America (CCCA).
In recognition of their diamond anniversary, pre-1973 model year Lincoln Continentals will be honored at the eighth annual Hemmings Motor News Concours d'Elegance on Sunday, September 28.
The Lincoln Continental contingent will accompany an exciting list of featured marques on the grounds of the Saratoga Spa State Park–adjacent to the Saratoga Automobile Museum in Saratoga Springs, New York– including 1964-1974 Pontiac GTOs (this class has been filled and is closed); pre-1975 Dodges, in celebration of the automaker's centennial; air-cooled Volkswagens; Alfa Romeos; Fire Trucks/Apparatus; and Full Classics, as well as our other standard classes (American non-performance; American Muscle Cars; European; Trucks; and Preservation).

One Man and a Global Web of Violence
Published: January 14, 2001
(Page 3 of 7)
After a few months, Mr. Anas said, he trekked into Afghanistan to join a combat unit, one of three Arabs traveling with a caravan of 600 Afghan soldiers. He learned Farsi and took on the role of mediator, traveling among the feuding rebel camps. He spent most of each year inside Afghanistan.
Mr. Anas became a top aide to Commander Ahmed Shah Massoud, whose troops controlled northern Afghanistan and are now fighting the Taliban rulers -- who support Mr. bin Laden.
Like many Muslims who joined the rebels, Mr. Anas expected to die in the Afghan jihad and earn the special status designated in the Koran for martyrs, which includes forgiveness of sins and the enjoyment in Paradise of beautiful virgins. ''It's not the main idea to be a shahid,'' or martyr, he said. ''But it's part of my plan.''
In the mid-1980's, American and Middle Eastern intelligence officials say, Mr. bin Laden moved to Peshawar, a Pakistani city near the border with Afghanistan. The city was a staging ground for the war against the Soviets; American, French and Pakistani intelligence officers intrigued and competed there to manipulate the Afghan cause to their countries' advantage.
Mr. bin Laden's fortune of several hundred million dollars gained him immediate popularity.
''He was one of the guys who came to jihad in Afghanistan,'' Mr. Anas said. ''But unlike the others, what he had was a lot of money. He's not very sophisticated politically or organizationally. But he's an activist with great imagination. He ate very little. He slept very little. Very generous. He'd give you his clothes. He'd give you his money.''
Mr. Anas, who returned annually to Pakistan from the Afghan battlefields to visit with Mr. Azzam, said Mr. bin Laden at first slept in the guest house in Peshawar on a cushion on the floor. He recalled that Mr. Azzam liked to say: ''You see, this man has everything in his country. You see he lives with all the poor people in this room.''
At about this time, in 1984, Mr. Azzam set up the organization that would play a pivotal role in the global jihad over the next decade. It was called the Makhtab al Khadimat, the Office of Services, and its goal was to recruit and train Muslim volunteers for the Afghan fronts. Mr. Azzam raised money for the organization in countries overseas including the United States and gave impassioned speeches promoting the Afghan cause. Mr. bin Laden embraced the idea from its inception and became Mr. Azzam's partner, providing financial support and handling military affairs.
Mr. bin Laden worked best with small groups, Mr. Anas said. ''When you sit with Osama, you don't want to leave the meeting,'' he said. ''You wish to continue talking to him because he is very calm, very fluent.''
A main goal of the Office of Services, Mr. Anas said, was to prevent the increasing number of outside volunteers from taking sides in the rebels' factional struggles. ''We are in Afghanistan to help the jihad and all the Afghan people,'' Mr. Azzam told him.
But there was increasing frustration from many of the disaffected young Muslims over Mr. Azzam's insistence that the Office of Services support only the Afghan cause -- when many were agitated about the plight of their own homelands. Some approached Mr. bin Laden.
''They told him: 'You shouldn't be staying with Abdullah Azzam. He doesn't do anything about the regimes -- Saudi, Egyptian, Algerian. He's just talking about Afghanistan,' '' Mr. Anas said.
''These people are always saying to Osama: 'You should establish something. Have a clear idea to use these people after Afghanistan for other wars.' ''
Among those most ardently courting Mr. bin Laden was a group of Egyptian radicals called the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, which helped assassinate President Anwar el-Sadat in 1981.
The Egyptian group advocated the overthrow of governments by terrorism and violence, and one of its key figures, Ayman al-Zawahiri, had taken shelter in Afghanistan. Mr. Anas said -- and Western intelligence agencies agree -- that Dr. Zawahiri was a commanding early influence on Mr. bin Laden. Today he is part of Al Qaeda's leadership, according to intelligence officials.
But Mr. Azzam quarreled bitterly with the Egyptians.
Mr. Anas said he once witnessed a heated argument between Mr. Azzam and Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, a radical religious scholar, who argued that the flouting of Islamic law had turned Presidents Mohammed Zia ul-Haq of Pakistan and Hosni Mubarak of Egypt into infidels who could therefore be killed. Sheik Abdel Rahman later moved to Brooklyn, where he was associated with an Office of Services branch. In 1995 he was convicted of plotting to blow up New York landmarks.
In 1986, according to Mr. Anas and Middle Eastern intelligence officials, Mr. bin Laden began to chart a separate course. He established his own training camp for Persian Gulf Arabs, a group of about 50 who lived in tents set apart from the other Afghan fighters. He called the camp Al Masadah -- The Lion's Den.
Within little more than a year the movement divided, as Mr. bin Laden and the Egyptians founded Al Qaeda -- the ''base'' for what they hoped would be a global crusade.

Terra Prime (2)
Episode Reviews (4)
One of the best episodes of this season.
This has to be one of the best episodes of Star Trek Enterprise to date. It follows on from the previous episode 'Demons' in which T'Pol and Trip find out about having a baby together. It really involves two stories one about Trip and T'Pol and one about Terra Prime which overlap (obviously!). The story with Trip and T'Pol was very moving and watching their baby Elizabeth die was extremely moving.
The story with Terra Prime just shows the suspicious and narrow-mindedness side of humanity that they could think that a helpless baby could doom the whole of humanity.
The episode was extremely well written and was one of the best in ages and easy to watch, it makes me wonder why on earth, UPN is cancelling the show as this season has been the best yet and this episode is a good example to point out.moreless
What should have been the finale
What a heart breaking, tear wrenching episode. My absolute favorite of the series. Connor and Jolene were absolutely outstanding. He brought tears to my eyes in the final scene. It was almost painful to watch, but left us with a feeling of hope for the future of the relationship between Trip and T'Pol and Earth and Vulcan.
What a superb arc!
"Demons" and "Terra Prime" were absolutely incredible. However, I thought the acting in this particular episode was outstanding. Connor and Jolene were out of this world (no pun intended), and I have always liked Peter Weller ever since "Robocop", and I thought he played his character superbly in both shows. This arc is exactly what this show is all about. It lays the ground work for what was to follow in later "Trek" series. I have said it before in previous reviews and I'll say it again. I am really sorry this series did not go on another two or three years.moreless

Grief does really strange things to a person. Even though Murray has been gone for almost a month now, I still am not feeling quite as I used to. Don't get me wrong- I'm feeling better, but it's just..weird. I remember the first few days after he passed I couldn't bend over and touch my toes, and I'd wake up inexplicably sore every morning.
I find that in grief's place is a furious, frenetic energy I can only control by doing projects around the house. Since most of these little tweaks didn't merit an update on their own, I've created a post that groups them all together just so you can see what's been keeping me busy.
I've temporarily moved my desk and computer upstairs to achieve my lifelong dream of having a "cloffice." Pretty swank, no? The BF helped me hang the window treatment. which is beautiful, and functional as it helps keep sunlight and heat from pouring into this room. Total cost= $26 for roman shade at Home Depot. Ignore the absolute craziness that is going on in the cloffice photo.
This Little Light of Mine
Before the move though, I spent 2 hours of a weeknight replacing the light fixture. I don't have a photo of it, but it was pretty much the cheapest one you can get at HD.The light fixture is from the dining room before the chandelier went up, and it does cast a nice glow around the room (which you can see better in the photo above, no more fluorescent prison lighting. Recycling, FTW!
Total cost of makeover= $0. It's not the most glamorous option, but few things are better than "free."
Knobs, Knobs, Knobs (Sung to the tune of "Girls, Girls, Girls" by Motley Crue)
I still haven't completely made up my mind about what I'm going to do with the house yet. I had a realtor friend swing by and give suggestions on what I could do to make the house a bit nicer if I do intend to sell, so I've started checking off some of the suggestions in the "just in case vein," and also because even if I decide to stay it is something nice to look at
and fewer details driving me crazy. An easy fix? All of the brass knobs in the home. And trust me, they're ALL brass.
Not that brass is terrible, but I upgraded a few back to an "oil rubbed bronze" when I moved in to try and upgrade the home's historical charm a bit. I only did two and then forgot about it, but it would cost around $300 to do the rest in the house (at 40 bucks a pop no less. No thank you. So I started Pinteresting and got the idea that you could absolutely spray paint old knobs. I paid $8 for a can of Rustoleum Spray Paint in Oil Rubbed Bronze and went to town.
Unfortunately, I can't show you the same brass knob from above because I forgot to leave a note for my brother to not close the door all the way once the knob was off. He got locked in the downstairs bathroom for three hours on Tuesday and ended up breaking the turning mechanism to get out. So, instead I will show you two knobs from the hallway side by side. One is the one I paid $40 for, and the other is one I painted. Can you tell the difference? (the one on the left is the knob I painted)
If you got down close you could absolutely tell a difference, but for now, the consistency pleases me. I've still got a few more to tackle, but hopefully before the end of the weekend, they'll all be upgraded. Total cost of project= $8 + the $40 I'll have to pay to replace the bathroom lock. Still, much better than $300.
What cheap/DIY upgrades have you been doing on your place?

The only true Health Plan Americans can rely on is to manage their own health and fitness. The incredible growth of Max Muscle Sports Nutrition franchises across the country is being fueled by an exponentially growing consumer demand for the safe, natural, and scientifically-backed and proven products that Max Muscle Sports Nutrition has been delivering for the past 19 years.
Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) September 17, 2009 -- There is no question that today's biggest concern in our nation's Capitol is health care reform. Aside from the political ramifications of the day to day news from Washington, the underlying crisis is one of cost for the average American to receive health care should they need it. What Americans have come to realize is that preventative measures are superseding the need for health care and more and more people are beginning to properly supplement their lives with proper nutrition, supplementation, and exercise. They're turning to Max Muscle Sports Nutrition stores across the country.
"It's a most interesting paradigm," said Patrick Sanders, President, Retail Store System for Max Muscle Sports Nutrition. "At the same time this is happening, the economy has severely altered the outlook of people from all walks of life who now realize they have very little control of their professional futures and it is that group of people who see the amazing opportunity of owning their own Max Muscle franchise. You have the majority of people who are now seeking better health avenues, and you have another seeking to serve that audience."
In the past month alone Max Muscle Sports Nutrition franchises are opening in new territories such as Connecticut and Tennessee, major markets such as Seattle and Dallas are not only add

Far too many Black youth continue to be demonized, criminalized and murdered.
Enough is enough!
In response to this intensifying crisis, the Black Youth Project (BYP) has launched "The Pledge."
With "The Pledge," we are asking individuals and organizations to close ranks around black youth and make a commitment to take action and fight with black youth as they confront a relentless crisis. We at the BYP believe that each person can make a difference by doing something!
By taking The Pledge we not only articulate our concern about black youth, but symbolically unite our voices with others who will work to confront this crisis.
If we each take action, whether it is starting a group, signing a petition, or mentoring a young person in your neighborhood, then we all become a part of the solution.
Stand With Black Youth!

Carnival Conquest Cruise Review by HandHandB: Awesome cruise!

Compare Prices on Carnival Conquest Bahamas Cruises
Awesome cruise!
This was our 4th Carnival cruise and we were as happy with the Conquest as we have been with the Freedom, Glory and Victory.
Sailing out of New Orleans was very cool. Our previous Carnival cruises were all out of Florida.
The ship was in great shape, the staff were very helpful and friendly, the ports were enjoyable. Absolutely NO complaints. We did the "Chef's Table" this trip and really enjoyed the experience (well worth the $$$$).
If anything, we found the clientele on this trip friendlier that on any of our past trips. Our 17 year old really enjoyed the O2 as he always does. There were very few kids on-board this time, though.
The weather was perfect; the seas totally calm. We loved our extended aft balcony which we got spoiled with on our last trip and aren't sure we can ever go back to a regular cabin.
Our son went scuba diving in Key West and REALLY loved Captain's Corners dive operator. My husband and I did our own walking tour More of the area. We took the ship's tour in Freeport (can't remember the name but it was to explore several sites and then snorkel at a local beach). The guide was amazing and the trip very informative (it was too rough to snorkel). We went to Atlantis on our own in Nassau and got a day pass to do all of the water-slides. Had a blast and, although expensive, it was a LOT cheaper than going for a family vacation at Atlantis!
We stayed at the Ormond Plantation in New Orleans for the first night before our cruise - totally AMAZING experience. Can't recommend this enough; so beautiful. Stayed at the Drury Inn in New Orleans for 2 nights after our cruise - great hotel, great location!
We will be booking Carnival again! Our son has been on many vacations with us and still says Carnival O2 is the absolute best. Less

Pennsylvania School Board Rejects Transgender Student's Request to Run for Homecoming King
September 25, 2013 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Eric Cameron, HRC Digital Media Specialist
A western Pennsylvania school board has upheld the school administration's decision to bar a transgender student from running for homecoming king.
Kasey Caron, a 17-year-old senior at Richland High School in Johnstown, Pa., says he was initially given the choice to run on the male ballot, but shortly before the vote was told by school administrators that under Pennsylvania law it would be illegal for him to run for king since his driver's license identifies him as female.
Caron was then informed that, without his consent, his name had been placed on the ballot for homecoming queen.
Earlier this week, the Richland School Board declined to rule on Caron's request, with board Solicitor Timothy Leventry stating, "No formal action is required due to the board agreeing with the previous decision of the administration."
Caron asked the board to consider three other related measures: allowing him to wear the same color cap and gown as other male students at graduation, adding gender identity protections to the school's anti-bullying policy, and creating a gay-straight alliance at Richland High School. Board President Michael Bodolosky did not commit to any action, stating that the board would take the issues under advisement.
This disappointing news follows on the heels of a transgender teenager making headlines after being crowned homecoming queen at her Southern California high school this weekend – and confronting bias in reaction to her inspiring accomplishment.
This February, the HRC Foundation will engage a broad audience of youth-serving professionals for a large-scale national conference promoting safety, inclusion and well-being for LGBTQ youth. Time to THRIVE provides a "one-stop-shop" opportunity for these professionals to build awareness and cultural competency, learn current and emerging best practices, and gather resources from leading experts and national organizations in the field.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands: Survivors of childhood cancer run particular risks when pregnant and should be closely monitored, the 25th annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology heard today (Wednesday 1 July). Dr. Sharon Lie Fong, of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Erasmus MC University Medical Centre, Rotterdam, The Netherlands, said that, although such women may have conceived spontaneously and considered themselves to be perfectly healthy, their deliveries should always take place in a hospital.
Dr. Lie Fong and colleagues studied data on the pregnancies of 40 women who had been treated for cancer during their childhood, the majority of them for leukaemia, but also for solid tumours. Six had had radiation treatment directly to the abdomen. The data were compared with those from a control group of more than 9,000 women who had not had cancer treatment. All data were obtained from The Netherlands Perinatal Register, a nationwide database of pregnancy outcomes. Data were matched for age at pregnancy, year and month of delivery, and the number of times the woman had given birth.
"This is the first such study on pregnancy outcome in childhood cancer survivors as compared with normal, healthy women," said Dr. Lie Fong. "Although we found no differences between most of the survivors and the control group, the women treated with abdominal radiotherapy delivered more prematurely. These women also had more postpartum haemorrhages the loss of more than one litre of blood after delivery."
The team did not investigate overall fertility and miscarriage rates, but they believe that it is possible that the fertility of all the cancer survivors may be compromised. "We know that radiotherapy and some chemotherapy treatments are toxic to the ovarian follicles," said Dr. Lie Fong, "and, in an earlier study, we had already found that ovarian reserve is smaller in adult survivors of childhood cancer tha

LONDON (AP) — Once-elusive WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was freed on bail Thursday, releasing Mr. Assange to continue his work as Sweden pushes its case for extradition and the United States considers its own criminal charges over his website's release of secret information.
The silver-haired Mr. Assange, a 39-year-old Australian, emerged from London's neo-Gothic High Court building after a tense scramble to gather the money and signatures needed to free him. Speaking under a light snowfall amid a barrage of flash bulbs, Mr. Assange — who's been out of the public eye for more than a month — told supporters he would pursue his efforts to bring government secrets to light.
"It's great to smell the fresh air of London again," he said to cheers from outside the court. "I hope to continue my work."
Mr. Assange now is headed to Ellingham Hall, a 10-bedroom mansion about 120 miles northeast of central London that belongs to Vaughan Smith, a WikiLeaks supporter and founder of London's Frontline Club for journalists.
Mr. Assange will have to observe a curfew, wear an electronic tag and report to police every day — restrictions imposed by High Court Justice Duncan Ouseley.
WikiLeaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson said Mr. Assange could use the 600-acre estate to continue coordinating the publication of leaked U.S. diplomatic cables, the publication of which has angered U.S. government officials, embarrassed allies and nettled rivals. The U.S. State Department has said international partners already have curtailed their dealings with Washington as a result of the cable leaks, but there's still much more to be disclosed.
So far, WikiLeaks has published some 1,621 U.S. diplomatic cables — less than 1 percent of the 250,000 cables it claims to have in reserve. A batch of 74 new cables appeared on the organization's website about two hours before Mr. Assange was released.
Ms. Hrafnsson described the restrictions on Mr. Assange's movements as amounting to "virtual house arrest," but she said Mr. Assange still would be able to work.
"There is a good Internet connection there," he noted.
Although U.S. officials have been looking at possible charges to levy against Mr. Assange for his role in the mass leaks, his current legal troubles stem from his personal life.
Swedish officials are seeking him for questioning on allegations stemming from separate encounters with a pair of women in Sweden over the summer, accusations that have clouded his reputation and prompted complaints from supporters that Mr. Assange is being persecuted because of his Internet activities.
Swedish prosecutors have rejected those allegations.
The women have accused Mr. Assange of rape, molestation and unlawful coercion. Mr. Assange's lawyers say the allegations stem from a dispute over "consensual but unprotected sex" and argue that he has offered to make himself available for questioning via video link or in person in Britain.
Lawyer Gemma Lindfield, acting for Sweden, said the allegations have enhanced Mr. Assange's reputation among his supporters, who "view it as part of the wider conspiracy." She said that given Mr. Assange's nomadic lifestyle and loose ties to some of those promising bond, there was "a real risk" he would flee.
But the judge said that when Mr. Assange arrived in Britain, he asked his lawyers to contact police so they would know where he was.

So with the current website I'm working on it has a fun feel to it and my design includes some handwritten fonts. I got to thinking…how am I going to go about displaying these on the web. Whats the best way to handle this? I was thinking images, but if I have alot of content using this handwriting font it will slow down loading time, etc. Are there any tricks out there that you guys could share? I tried doing a quick google search but didn't really see anything.
What you probably need is SIFR… but this is even worse on your load time than making images.
The good part is that it will do it automatically, and the code can still be an <h2> or w/e
Here's the link to the wiki:
Handwriting in web design always looks best if it's REAL handwriting, not some lame free font. So first of all, do that. Write, scan, repeat. Then you can use images with CSS image replacement:
Accessibility AND images =)
can i find some tutorials bout it? :geek:
Try the links above ;) It's not "simple" but a little reading will get you a long way.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (Sept. 14, 2010) A new investigational drug designed to penetrate and attack pancreatic cancer cells has been administered to a patient for the first time ever at the Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center at Scottsdale Healthcare.
ASG-5ME is a potent, targeted compound designed to selectively kill cancer cells, says Daniel Von Hoff, MD, a principal investigator in the Phase I clinical trial. Pancreatic cancer is a fast-growing and difficult to treat form of cancer, and is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States.
"ASG-5ME is intended for pancreatic cancer patients who do not have a good prognosis with currently available therapies. We are very pleased to be able to offer this exciting agent in a clinical trial for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer," says Dr. Von Hoff. "Our goal at the Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center is to deliver cell-killing medicine through the best possible individually targeted therapies, and ASG-5ME fits the bill."
The new investigational compound uses a monoclonal antibody against a target which is found in more than 90 percent of pancreatic cancer patients. The monoclonal antibody delivers a highly potent molecule called monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) to selectively kill the pancreatic cancer cells.
"It is a precision approach that is designed to avoid non-targeted cells, increasing antitumor activity in preclinical models and potentially reducing the toxic effects of traditional chemotherapy" says Dr. Von Hoff. Researchers are studying the drug to evaluate its safety and tolerability and identify the maximum tolerated dose.
The Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center at Scottsdale Healthcare was the first to offer patient access to ASG-5ME. Researchers hope to enroll up to 50 patients in clinical trials of the drug in multiple centers across the U.S.
The drug was co-developed by Seattle Genetics, Inc. of Bothell, Wash. and Agensys, Inc., an affiliat

How to Make a Duct Tape Tie
This is a fun and easy project. Try some other duct tape themed projects after completing this one.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Start by taking measure of an actual tie, to determine the size of your tie.
2Cut duct tape strips one half inch wider than the tie on each side.
3Place the strips on the front of the tie, overlapping about a half an inch. Start at the bottom, so it can be waterproof and easier to tie. Wrap around the excess to the back of the tie.
4Place a piece of duct tape lengthwise along the back of the tie. Cut a couple more to cover it. Remember where the loop on the back is.
5Make a small strip of duct tape fabric about the size of the loop. Tape it to where the original loop was.
6Decorate. Use stickers, gems or anything of your choice.
7Finished! You've just made a duct tape tie.
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Leave the tie in a hot car. The heat will fuse the duct tape, but don't use a microwave or oven!
- Be careful not to cut yourself when cutting the duct tape.
