Those of you with a yen for C4 tech are probably wondering what ever became of our Polo Green '96 coupe, which appeared poised last winter to take a giant leap toward dragstrip superstardom with the addition of Trick Flow's new Fast as Cast GenX head-and-cam package ("To Top It All Off," Feb.'10)? Unfortunately our enthusiasm for the project turned out not to be shared by members of the local Corvette-tuning community, no fewer than four of whom declined to take on the job of installing the parts after learning the age of the car.
Such is the virtual pariah status to which the LT1 engine has sunk in the years since its retirement. Outmoded, down on power, and needlessly complex, the powerplant that did so much to restore the Corvette's performance luster in the early '90s is now treated by many as the mechanical equivalent of an end-stage Ebola patient-messy, intractable, and to be avoided at all costs.
Although we had originally hoped to give him a respite from sorting out our project-car hassles, we ultimately turned to Greg Lovell, at AntiVenom in Seffner, Florida, to handle the job. Unlike many newcomers to the Vette-fettling field, Lovell has been chin deep in these cars for most of his adult life, so he's well versed in the numerous idiosyncrasies afflicting older, less-popular models. After a minimum of cajoling, he agreed to take on our installation and let us hang around to photograph the affair.
In the pages that follow, we'll recap the major components of the package, bring you up to date on some new supporting items, and provide an overview of the install. In an upcoming issue (soon-we promise!), we'll be back to put the newly revitalized car through its paces at the track and on the dyno.

Over the holiday weekend, when millions of Americans were giving thanks for life, love, hope and family, several Muslim houses of worship -- at least five in California and one in Georgia -- received threatening letters, that said President-elect Donald Trump would "do to you Muslims what Hitler did to the Jews."
Officials from the Atlanta-based Georgia Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations announced they plan to visit Savannah in an interfaith measure of support of the Interfaith Center of Savannah, which was the recipient of one of the hate-filled missives.
The handwritten letter was signed by "Americans for a Better Way" and postmarked November 21 from Santa Clarita, California. It included a mythical Savannah return address that upon further examination was found not to exist and a generic Islamic-sounding name.
The anonymous letter began by addressing Muslims as "the Children of Satan," then continued by way of offensive insults, calling Muslims evil and a "vile and filthy people." It then said their "day of reckoning" had arrived in the form of a "new sheriff" referring to Trump. The missive said Trump would "cleanse America," making it "shine again."
"And he's going to start with you Muslims. He's going to do to you Muslims what Hitler did to the Jews," the letter warned. "You Muslims would be wise to pack your pack your bags and get out of Dodge."
It concluded by saying, "This is a great time for patriotic Americans. Long live President Trump and God bless the U.S.A."
"Although anti-Muslim bigotry has surged since Election Day, our community fears God, not anonymous hate mail," said Edward Mitchell, executive director of CAIR-GA. "Whoever sent these letters should know that they have only strengthened our resolve to keep practicing our faith, defending our rights and building bridges with our neighbors."
"Right after Trump became president, my friends -- they started texting me, asking me if I was still going to wear the hijab," said Georgia State University student Samina Alam. "We see that there are some pockets of this nation that are coming out with such hatred. Not saying this defines us, but this something that we represent, and it's really hard to talk about it if it strips us down."
She points out that she tries to remain positive in spite of the amount of hatred that she sees on a regular basis.
"We'll still get questioned," she said. "We'll still be pulled out of security. I try to keep the positive reactions."
Mitchell pointed out that incidents targeting minorities overall, not just Muslims, has seen a sharp increase since Election Day.
"Whoever sent it was a coward and a bigot," he said. "Just because Donald Trump won the election doesn't mean it's open season on everybody he denigrated during the campaign."
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks such incidents nationally, said more than 700 such incidents had occurred in the week following Election Day.
A copy of the letter is shown below:

UK GDP: Questions for Mr Osborne in Davos
I asked George Osborne three questions this morning, minutes after the latest GDP figures came out. He only answered one of them.
He admitted that the figures weren't good. You could say his general tone came under the heading of "disappointed, but not surprised".
But he made clear that there would be no change to the government's strategy in response to this news. Quite the opposite.
"We can run away from our problems or we can confront them - and we're going to confront them."
That was the question he answered. In response to my second question, he did not take the opportunity to agree with Nick Clegg's recent suggestion that the coalition (and Labour) had cut capital spending too fast in the early part of the austerity programme.
Mr Osborne did agree that capital investment was important, noting the extra capital spending that had been put back into the budget since 2011. But, he said, restoring confidence in 2010 was important too. In other words, he deflected the question.
Nothing surprising in that, you might say. It's the job of a politician to say what he or she wants to say in these interviews, regardless of what they are asked. And the chancellor is very good at it.
But his failure to answer my last question did surprise me.
I asked him whether he was going to follow the advice that the IMF's chief economist, Olivier Blanchard, had given, in a BBC interview with Simon Jack - to use the Budget to rethink at least some of the austerity planned for this year.
I fully expected the chancellor to respond by saying that Mr Blanchard did not speak for the Fund - and the IMF was still 100% behind the government's plans. That is what has happened when the French economist has raised doubts about the UK in the past.
But he didn't do that. He said the government's strategy had not changed. And he noted that a former chief economist of the IMF, Ken Rogoff, had said only this week that he fully supported the coalition's plan. So, that's a former chief economist he mentioned. Not the current one. Or the IMF as a whole.
Privately, Mr Osborne's advisors insist that "the IMF's advice for the UK has not changed". That's true. The Fund says that too. Their broad support for the government's approach still stands.
But, as I pointed out earlier this week, one part of the IMF's advice last summer was quite consequential for Mr Osborne, and specific. It said last summer that the consolidation plans for 2013-14 "would need to be scaled back if growth does not build momentum by early 2013".
Mr Blanchard stood by that advice in his BBC interview: "If things look bad at the start of the year... and they do....there should be a reassessment of fiscal policy in the Budget".
So, what have we learned this morning? We've learned that the economy is flat, at best. We have also learned that the IMF's advice for the UK has not changed. It is, however, starting to diverge from Mr Osborne's.

Busan Neighborhoods • Beomeo Temple
Beomeo Temple Pictures
Beomeo Temple is a Buddhist temple in Cheongnyong-dong, Geumjeong-gu, Busan, South Korea. Built on the slopes of Geumjeongsan, it is one of the country's leading urban temples. It was constructed in 678 during the reign of Silla king Munmu, by the monk Uisang. It became known as one of the ten great temples of the Hwaeom sect, although like most Korean temples it was later assimilated into the Jogye Order. At its largest, during the Goryeo dynasty, it was much larger than it is today - with over 360 rooms and more than a thousand monks in residence. The temple was burned to the ground in 1592 during the Japanese Imjin Invasion. It was reconstructed in 1602, but was burned again by an accidental fire. In 1613 it was rebuilt again. The Main Hall (Dae-ungjeon) and the Jogyemun(front gate) date to this reconstruction.

11-and-under team champs
Behind a strong pitching performance by Zac Engle, the Steamboat Springs 11-and-under baseball team secured the District 3 Little League title Sunday at Emerald Park.
Engle struck out eight batters in five innings of play as the Steamboat team rolled to a 15-1 victory against Grand County in the championship contest.
"Most of these players started practicing in a gym back in March," coach Harvey Lyon said. 'They've played in the snow and rain of early spring and have taken advantage of the opportunities afforded by Triple Crown. They are developing into a mature, disciplined, cohesive young ball club with a very bright future."
Lyon credited solid hitting and nearly perfect defense for the team's success in the tournament.
The coach said Charlie Von Thaden was nearly perfect at shortstop, making great stops and throwing out six base runners during Sunday's game.
On the other side of the diamond, Eric Spahr was also strong, knocking down three hard shots and making throws that kept the runners off base.
Infeilders Richard Gonzales and Sean Seams, as well as outfielders Colton Mahanna and Evan Hornstein also played well.
Michael Yost made a spectacular inning-ending catch in right field to end one of Grand County's biggest threats in the game. The play stranded three Grand County base runners.
On offense, Tommy Lyon reached base five out of five times and scored four runs in the game, and Seams crushed a double to right field that scored three runners.
Steamboat will advance to the state tournament, where they are scheduled to open against the winners of District 5 on July 23.

The 2011 AAA Photo Contest is a showcase of anthropology at its best. Of the 93 photos submitted, AAA members selected their favorites in each of the four categories: Practice, People, Place and Process. You can view the top 20 photos in Anthropology News. Here on the AAA blog, we will feature several of the photos in a blog series, Photo Friday.
Title: Vaitahu Rainbow and Volleyball
Photo Courtesy of Wendy Leicht
Contest Category: Place
Caption: This photo captures residents of Vaitahu, on the island of Tahuata, resuming their volleyball game after a mid-afternoon shower. The community engages in sports, like volleyball and soccer, in an effort to both have fun and stay fit. While an overwhelming number of post-colonial island communities in the Pacific suffer from major weight problems, the community of Vaitahu promotes physical activity, like volleyball, in an effort to prevent the emergence of serious health issues, especially among the youth population. Aside from the game, the major focal point in the photograph is the Catholic Church, an institution built by the French and attended by most locals on Sunday mornings.
Start finding your best photos from the last two years…the 2012 AAA Photo Contest opens April 23! Winning photographs will be displayed at the 111th Annual Meeting in San Francisco. View contest details.

Lehrer, Christiane; Constantiou, Ioanna; Hess, Thomas (, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The continuance of use is an important topic of IS research. However, in the past, many researchers have focused on adoption rather than IS continuance. Studying continuance is of equal importance, because if use does not persist, this may limit the revenues of the provider. This is particularly true for consumer-oriented services, which rely on advertising, or subscription-based revenue models. In this paper, we investigate the determinants of location-based services (LBS) continuance as a relevant case study for the examination of IS continuance generally. A research model is developed and empirically tested through a survey of a representative sample in Germany. The proposed model builds on and extends the Limayem et al. model of IS continuance. Our analysis highlights the importance of habit and emotion in LBS continuance. The results indicate that habit has a stronger predictive power than continuance intentions for LBS continuance and that emotions are an important driver for user satisfaction with LBS.

A Healthy Chicken Salad
I've been craving a healthy salad of some sort, but I've been bored with our usual greens and dressings. I figured I could make a healthier chicken salad that incorporated more fruits and veggies into our diet. Plus, since it's been SO hot lately, anything make-ahead and chilly that we could eat for a few days sounded great to me. This chicken salad isn't such a revelation, really, but I was very happy with the result. Chunks of chicken are combined with diced apple, toasted pecans, sliced grapes, red onions and dressed with an herby, mustard and mayo dressing that is lightened with yogurt and lemon juice. I ate this piled on some salad greens with a hunk of bread and felt very pleased with myself for eating this instead of, say, bacon and cheese.
Healthier Chicken Salad
1/2 cup non-fat plain yogurt
3 Tbsp mayonnaise
2 Tbsp whole-grain mustard
juice of one lemon wedge
2 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
2 Tbsp chopped chives
fresh parsley or tarragon, if you have it!
a dash of salt and pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 apple, diced
1 small red onion, chopped
1/2 cup sliced green grapes
1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
1/3 cup diced celery, if you have it
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Throw in a tablespoon of salt. Lower the temperature so that the water is barely simmering. It's what Julia Child calls a shiver stage. Add the chicken breasts, cover the pot and let the chicken poach for 10 minutes, maybe 15 depending on the size. Keep the water just at the point where it's beginning to boil and you'll have tender chicken.
Combine the diced fruit, onion, pecans and celery in a mixing bowl. In a seperate bowl, combine all the ingredients for the dressing. Dice the chicken and add to the bowl with the fruit and nuts. Add half of the dressing and toss to coat. Add more dressing as needed, but you might not have to use all of it depending on the amount of chicken you have. I didn't use it all.
Chill for several hours until cold, or make it a day ahead. Serve on some salad greens (spinach leaves are great!) or in a sandwich. Serves 4.
*Note: The chicken breasts found in the USA are larger than those I buy here. You might want to increase the apple, onion, nuts, etc, if you have more chicken. As always, amounts are approximate.

So what's wrong with just really great chicken salad. Bravo!
- emily said...
thanks for saving me from my godawful lunchable lunches!
- Megan said...
Mrs. Blacord - Thanks!
Tanna - Thank you! Sometimes it feels so good to make something straightforward like chicken salad! =)
Emily - de rien, mon amie.
- michelle said...
Hi Megan,
I've just spent the last 30 minutes reading through your last few blog posts and I love them all! And now I think I need to make that spinach-artichoke dip *and* visit Burgundy!
And I hear you about the hot weather and the "don't you dare try to hold my hand -- it's too hot!!" thing. Even if you are in Paris, too hot is too hot!
Now I am late enough -- must make coffee and attempt to get to work!
- Jesse "Freakin" Alex said...
Hey thanks Megan... for the recipe.. :)
I have began hitting the gym and my instructor had asked me to eat healthy - low cab foods... and this seems to be pretty cool... :)
- corey said...
My wife and I just made this. It's spectacular. At first, I was skeptical because it's light on the dressing and I'm from the south which means we like our food drenched in fatty gravy and dressings. BUT, it had just the right amount of flavor and tastes really great- and it's guilt-free. Thanks much.
- Yo Yo said...
I made this the other day. I ended up with quite a large quantity - good for sharing and saving for leftovers. I did end up using only 2 chicken breasts (they were really big), but now I kind of wish I'd used three. I also added a little more celery since I really like celery. I ate it all day yesterday! It's incredible - thanks for sharing!

After a two-day conference with medical specialists, the International Olympic Committee is pushing for the establishment of medical centers equipped to diagnose and treat athletes with "disorders of sex development," the Associated Press reports.
If an athlete's gender is called into question he/she would be sent to these centers for evaluation and, if necessary, treatment such as surgery or hormone therapy.
The committee also wants sports officials to implement rules on a "case by case" basis when a competitor's gender is ambiguous. Committee delegates said, "pre-participation health examinations" could be beneficial as well.
Some countries, including Italy, already perform medical checks to determine athletes' eligibility.
The move comes after South African runner Caster Semenya was ordered to undergo gender testing after winning the women's 800 meters in August. Semenya has not yet been cleared to compete again because the runner's test results are still pending.
Prior to 1999 the IOC used chromosome testing to determine gender. However, this procedure was dropped after being deemed "unscientific and unethical," according to the Associated Press.

Important items I've forgotten to post
Friday, August 6, 2010
I've tried to find a way for Daphne to help me do PT with Estaline, since she doesn't have school right now but all the other kids do. Often Estaline just gets ticked off at Daphne for being involved, but we did have one successful session last week. I put Estaline on my fitness ball to get her used to the move bvment and to work her abs. She hates it. Erta walked by and suggested we put Daphne on it with her. Below are the results of that experiment.
Update to my last post: I believe I was locked in the medical room at the boys' home every single day last week. When I took the lock and key inside the room with me, some smart ones found a bar of some sort to place in the latch to keep me inside. Love you boys! I'm sure Cendy and Daphne would have loved to get in on these pranks with you.

PEOPLE IN DH&S It is a long way from practice development to marketing, even though it might not seem so at first. Implied in the change of terms is a fundamental change in attitude and practices. And no one has had a closer look at this shift, as it affects our firm and the public accounting profession as a whole, than Jule Phoenix. He took over the direction of prac-tice development in Executive Office in 1974, under condi-tions that now seem like those of thirty years ago. He retires this June as partner responsible for the firm's marketing pro-gram, leaving an organization that was scarcely in anyone's dreams just seven years earlier. Not everyone in business or the professions can abide deep and rapid change; it throws some into confusion and leaves others behind. Let it be said of Jule Phoenix that he seems to have had built into him the right combination of qualities that enabled him to deal with the big turn that Deloitte Haskins & Sells has made over the past few years, along with the entire profession. He kept a cool head. He was never diverted from the course that he considered right for a great firm with a distinguished past and the promise of a future of continuing distinction and excellence. When the accounting profession, under the pressure of voices in Congress, the Department of Justice and various consumer advocates, decided in 1978 to change its rules, there was considerable doubt as to where the new practices would lead. It would now be acceptable to approach the clients of another firm. Advertising would be permitted. Now that the smoke has cleared and the profession has been living under the new rules for several years, it is clear that Deloitte Haskins & Sells has taken them in stride. We are growing each year. Under Jule's direction the marketing de-partment in Executive Office is assisting practice offices in preparing proposals for service at a pace that leaves some of his crew breathless at times. We now issue press releases, and favorable publicity for DH&S appears regularly in many press outlets in all parts of the country. Our firm advertising is published in leading periodicals at regular intervals. The entire program is on a high plane, as befits a first-class organization with an eighty-six-year history of growth and service. It all bears the stamp of a man of high standards who has taken on any number of assignments during his years with the firm, and has always given them his conscientious best. Julius W Phoenix, Jr. grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina, the state capital, where he absorbed early in life the lessons in courtesy and diplomacy that are necessary in the worlds of politics and business. Jule's mother was active in politics, and was also executive secretary of a statewide business associa-tion; his stepfather was variously a state senator, state com-missioner of agriculture and lieutenant governor. In high school Jule took part in a dramatics club that won several awards in state competition. When he entered the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill he continued his interest in dramatics and speech. He also studied accounting and found it very much to his liking. One incident during his Chapel Hill days stands out vividly in Jule's memory, and perhaps it was prophetic of his readiness to deal smoothly with new situations. Jule was the student announcer for a campus radio station panel discussion by professors. The scheduled topic one Sunday morning: "Will Japan Attack the United States?" The date: December 7, 1941. A few minutes before the program was to go on the air, Jule and the professors heard the dramatic news that the Japanese had attacked the Pearl Harbor naval base in Hawaii early that morning. Hardly skipping a beat, the young student announcer and the faculty panelists switched the topic to: "Why Japan Attacked the United States." "I suppose that we were the first panel discussion on the air devoted to that subject," Jule says now, nearly forty years after the event. Asa member of the Naval ROTC program at the University, Jule was deeply immersed in the navigation course. This led to his becoming the navigator on a patrol craft escort in the South Atlantic after the U.S. Navy summoned him in 1944. Later he was sent to the Pacific and he was in the Philippines when World War II ended. After a few months of duty in Florida helping to mothball destroyers, Jule was discharged from the Navy in the late spring of 1946 and returned to the university for his final year of accounting studies. One other item of importance to Jule at this stage — he married Anne Weatherspoon, just as soon as the Navy made it possible, in February 1946, He had known her since high school days in Raleigh, and during his wartime absence he had written to Anne everyday. How did Jule come to our firm? At the time, he recalls, "I 16
