Whoever is controlling the world it probably isn't you.
Occupy Wall Street's slogan "We are the 99%" had been echoing through the United States and the world for just over a month when James B. Glattfelder and his co-authors released the study "The Network of Global Corporate Control" in October 2011. The study was a scientific look at our global economy, revealing how control flows like water through pipes — some thin, some thick — between people and companies. The finding: that control of our economy is highly tightly concentrated into a small core of top players, leaving us all vulnerable to fast-spreading economic distress.
[ted_talkteaser id=1668]
In today's talk, filmed at TEDxZurich, Glattfelder reveals that the impetus of the study wasn't at all to validate global protesters. Instead, the study was conducted out of a desire to understand the laws that govern our economy, in the same way that we understand the laws that…

I know it has been a long time since I last posted, and I'm sorry for that. Life has been insane lately. Sometimes it feels like I'm on a roller coaster and can't get off. Hence the name of this post. Let me tell you what I mean.
For the first few months of my fellowship, things weren't that busy. I hadn't started having to write notes (which can take quite a while, especially for a new patient) or go to many meetings. I wasn't having lots of outside projects to work on, etc. Life was good. I worked my 7-8 hours and went home, spent time with my family, and enjoyed life. Now, I am writing notes, having presentations every few weeks, have a journal article to write, have to go on an overnight outreach clinic, have business meetings, and the list goes on and on. My days are no longer my own. Please don't get me wrong, I am still absolutely in love with my job. I wouldn't want to be doing anything else. I just wish I could have used all that free time I had a few months ago to do some of the stuff I have to do now. Too bad none of these things were around back then to work on.
The first few months of my fellowship were like the part on the roller coaster right as you get to the top of the hill. Not too fast. Not too uncomfortable. Just pleasant and fun. These last two months have been like the downward plunge the car takes as you speed down the hill. Too fast. You can't take time to enjoy anything because life is rushing past you. Some people love that sensation, the rush of the speed. I, however, do not. God did not give me that kind of personality. And as I currently speed down the hill of the roller coaster, He reminds me that He is in control of it and that He will not allow me to get hurt. It's not some guy with a mullet, three teeth, and an "I LOVE MOM" tattoo handling the switch of the coaster; it's my almighty Father, who loves me more than I can ever imagine. At the bottom of the hill is the hardest part. You're down as low as you can get. Then you face the hard and tedious task of climbing back up to the top of the hill where you get that moment of peace, enjoyment, and splendor, just before life slings you back down to the valley. As I face these ups and downs, I must remind myself I'm not the only one. Everyone is on their own roller coaster. Some just get to spend more time at the top. I like to think that the times I'm spending in the valley right now are preparing me for a glorious day at the top very soon.
Pastor Rod has been preaching a series on giants. Last week he asked us to write down the giant in our life. At first, I thought mine was food. I need to lose weight, and it seemed like an obvious thing to choose. But as I sit here and type this, it's becoming painfully obvious to me that I've been blind to my real giant all along. My giant is worry. I worry about everything. Just read what I typed above. I worry about work. Will I get my reports done? How am I going to get this presentation finished on time? I worry about money and my family. What's going to happen with Will? How will we pay for stuff the kids need? How am I going to pay all of the bills? How am I going to.....I've got to stop. I've got to face my giant. Pastor Rod said today, "There will never be a better day to face your giant than today." I think if I can face this giant and defeat it, that my life will be much more manageable and enjoyable. I worry so much about everyone and everything that I don't worry about me. I hope that learning to face this giant, to kick it's butt, will help me get my life back into the proper prospective so that I can be a better witness and do more for Him.Would pray that with me? Would you be willing to pray that I can face this giant of worry and kick it's sorry butt right into the ground? I'm going to stop worrying about where I am on this roller coaster of a life and try to enjoy the ride. I hope you will too.

Guanxi-based Network Analysis Dataset of China's Central Committee
- Sibayan, Jerome
AbstractThe Guanxi-based Network Analysis Dataset is a unique dataset created from the biographical information of the roughly 1,700 Central Committee members from 1922 to 2011. It also lists birth/death years, birth province, educational background, military experience, Party career assignments, government jobs, visits abroad, and any special remarks. Each Central Committee member's education level, military generation, provincial origin, kinship, and patron‐client information was coded for each Central Committee‐year. Individual attributes were also collected for each Central Committee member to indicate if he or she was a member of the Politburo or Standing Committee, a Long Marcher, previously purged and rehabilitated, a general officer, a technocrat, and/or a member of the Central Advisory Commission, as appropriate.

A very large power generation plant purchased an engineered fire protection system for the additional coal/gas burning turbines that had recently been installed.
The project got a green light and was then passed on to the company's diverse, or should I say motley, gang of crack engineers. We've got all kinds: mechanical, fire, an acoustical engineer, an architect, and me, the only electrical guy.
Then came the usual rounds of coffee and meetings, revisions, another revision, revising the last revision, hurling blame back and forth, and too much coffee, until project completion.
Parts and plans are shipped/emailed to the installation contractor after the customer approved some ridiculously high rev lettered design. A few months pass and I get a message from the boss: "The contractor is having trouble with the fire control system network, call them."
I did call them, and their story that went something like this:
The contracting crew had pulled approximately 4,000m of twisted pair to link all the gas detectors, flame detectors, heat detectors, cut-outs, shut-offs, low level switches, high level switches, solenoid valves, bells horns, and flashing lights to the FACP (fire alarm control panel). The twisted pair starts and ends at the FACP. After all this effort, the network would not work. They thought, "Hey, this is an electrically noisy environment, let's use signal extenders," and indeed, they did. They even went so far as to use more than the maximum number of network extenders allowed by the manufacturer (eight, if I remember correctly). Even all this signal repeating horsepower couldn't take care of the problem.
I did not have any explanation. Nothing about the design was pushing any sort of limit. When I designed the network, I didn't say, "I don't know about this one, guys." Tensions were getting high in the office, and the blame for this nonfunctioning network was swinging in my direction. Then I thought, "What kind of wire did they use? Surely, they used what was specified." I felt like I was reaching, but at this point exploring the more unlikely explanations was all I had.
It turns out they did not use the twisted pair specified. The contactor was given a choice between three different makes of Belden wire, all chosen specifically for their compatibility with the network. What they used instead was speaker wire! Yes, they pulled 4km or 2.485 miles, of speaker wire.
In the email hailstorm which ensued, I asked why they would do something so unbelievably stupid. They responded with this: "It looked the same as the other wire." Meaning that because it was twisted, unshielded wire of the proper gauge, they thought it would work the same as what I had specified. I told them to pull the wire out and replace it. They refused, told me I was wrong, and demanded an alternate solution. I told them that there was nothing I or anybody else could do. Silence filled the air for a bit. Then they emailed me a release of some kind that shifted liability for the electrical portion of the install from them, to me.
Of course, I didn't sign that release, and the contractor eventually had to replace all of that wire, and when they did, the network functioned flawlessly.

The Watchman Climber's Log
awhite28 - Mar 26, 2016 9:01 pm Date Climbed: Mar 26, 2016West Face Scramble
Thanks for all the great route info on here! We did as much research beforehand as we could and did minimal route finding. 8 hours car to car. Lovely, lovely day. Saw lots of sheep and a peregrine falcon. Largely class 3. There was still a fixed rope at the one sustained class 4 section. No class 5 for us. I was really glad we had the GPS with us. The route was lightly cairned, and certainly not marked well where you really needed it (on the way down where terrain funnels you one way but you need to traverse and wrap another way). Since I couldn't find any (non-corrupted) GPS data here are a few waypoints:
MoapaPk - Nov 24, 2012 6:08 pmRe: Bo
Have you been yet? I'll probably be back there this spring
MoapaPk - Nov 20, 2012 1:59 am Date Climbed: Nov 19, 2012Finally
Unseasonably warm. The neurologically-impaired team made the top in less than 3 hours, after promising each other we would take our time. Thanks to Sarah for waypoints.
shknbke - Mar 25, 2009 3:13 pm Date Climbed: Mar 21, 2009West face
This was probably the toughest route finding I have ever done on a peak, and I wasn't in the lead much! We got shut down 4 times before we finally figured it out. It ended up taking ~13 hours!
SarahThompson - Mar 24, 2009 11:59 am Date Climbed: Mar 21, 2009Two times
3/21/09 - Another fantastic Zion scramble! The routefinding was incredibly time consuming but eventually we were victorious. We made the summit right at 3:30pm, our decided turn-around time.
11/28/09 - Climbed The Watchman as a bonus after summitting Johnson Mountain (finally :)). MUCH faster this time since we already knew the way. Had sprinkles, ominous clouds, and distant thunder but luckily that was it.
bobeck - Dec 4, 2007 11:24 pmBo
I've followed many others attempts and victories. I only hope that one day I might achieve.
mountaingazelle - Apr 16, 2007 12:11 pm Date Climbed: Apr 14, 2007West Face
I've been looking at this mountain for years while camping at the Watchman Campground. The approach up to the notch went up a steep mountainside of rock and dirt. It was typical Zion terrain. I tried to visualize my route up the west face before down climbing from the notch into the canyon. Climbing up the crux was no problem. We then entered the steep canyon than cuts into the mountain.
The route finding became complicated and time consuming. It turned into difficult scrambling so we went up the drainage to the left that had steep slick rock slabs covered in sand. I traversed even farther left to find the easiest way through the upper cliff bands. Luckily, I found some nicely placed cairns that we followed up the final pitch. It was a great climb and more strenuous than I expected.
DonnieB - Mar 30, 2006 7:26 pm Date Climbed: Mar 4, 2006The Watchman
Fun hike w/ some added scrambleing. Beautifull area w/ a view looking up the throat of Zion lined with majestic peaks and fun canyoneering valleys to explore.
Additional Watchman Beta (Pic's, GPS tracks and Map)
Johnson Peak - http://healthshaman.com/s/Zion-Johnson-Mountain/ via the east face let us down after many variations and our over confidence by leaving climbing gear in wash below. I don't beleive there is a less than 5th class up to summit from this direction and will be back w/ gear next time. (did end up being 5th class, see slides/beta above)
*Descent tracks on GPS for Watchman go a bit easier than ascent one and I recognize the sporty "bush climbing"
Good times...
Donnie B.
SawtoothSean - Mar 29, 2006 8:27 pm Date Climbed: Mar 24, 2006Route Finding
Great scramble with lots of route finding challenges. Easy to get into 5th class slots. Without an idea of where to go, we would have been searching. Of course a rope and pro would have made this easier, but we went light and without the gear. Summit views are exceptional and you can see most all of the park.
We saw Bighorn Sheep on the lower slopes.

I have gotten behind on my blogging, what with all the stuff going on around my neck of the woods! Just a bit of catching up... First, my kids looked ADORABLE in their Easter clothes. :)
Matthew refused to pose for me... this is the best I could get...
Second, Lilia has finally decided it was time to take the plunge and get her hair cut to donate...
And After:
Third, my son... That boy is at a very interesting stage... His latest episode worth mentioning was last Sunday. Lacey had accidentally let the dog (Midge) out of the house off her leash and Lil, knowing our dog would come back on her own, propped the front door open. I was getting dressed in my room, and upon finishing (took me all of about 3 minutes) I came upon the empty front room with the door open. My initial thought, "Op! The dog got out!" My next thought... "MATTHEW!" Sure enough, I stepped out on my porch JUST in time to watch my 2 year old son run around the corner shouting "Midge! Uh meer (Come here)!" The real catch here... he was stark naked! I took off after him (barefoot with a birds nest for hair) and TWO BLOCKS LATER I finally caught up with my nudist son... ACK! Those neighbors who were outside sure got a kick out of my not at all shy son. ::Sigh:: He is gonna be the death of me! Here he is watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse...
Mickey Mouse ended up being my savior here... Matthew is completely obsessed with Mickey. I usually purchase the expensive Huggies Little Movers diapers. I am a diaper snob. They have the Winnie the Pooh characters on them. BUT- I noticed that the significantly cheaper Huggies Snug and Dry have Mickey on them. So on a whim, I bought them... Sure enough, as long as he is wear Mickey on his diaper he will gladly keep it on. But he won't cover Mickey up with pants. ::sigh:: Diapered with no pants is better than nude! Though I don't love the cheaper diaper, it is a proven fact that a cheap diaper ON his bum is much more effective than an expensive diaper on the ground.
My kids are so much fun! The other day I heard Lilia and Lacey arguing. They were watching one of my favorite kids movies (Anastasia) and were speaking along with the movie. There is a part where Anya (Anastasia) is being sent to work in the fish factory, and the headmistress of the orphanage is saying, "I feed you, I clothe you, I..." and Anastasia cuts in and says "keep a roof over my head, I know." Well, Lacey was quoting this part and said "You keep a rooster on my head..." To which Lil said, "No! She keeps a fork on her head!" They continued this fight for a good 5 minutes... "Rooster!" "Fork!" " Rooster!" "Fork!" I couldn't tell ya where the fork came from, but Rooster actually does sound almost right!
On Friday Matthew and Lacey got into the Duct Tape. Matthew comes up to me and says, "Look Ma! I'm uh oh-fant!" (Elephant) (And yes, my son calls me Ma, and I love it.)
Matthew has recently found his pockets. He walked around the other day like this for almost an hour. :) Such a cutie!
I previously mentioned the projects we are working on at home right now. Joe has been working for a few weeks on finishing our basement for good. The only thing left has been the bathroom. We had a working sink and toilet, but the shower was unfinished.
(This picture was taken before any of the bathroom was finished... I don't have a before of just the tub and walls unfinished)
We finally got our tile in and found the time to start the installation of it. We had the tile special ordered because of a cute idea my sister in law and I came up with. We wanted to put bubbles along the bottom of the tile at the tub's edge!
(I helped cut all the tile for the back wall of the tub... so proud!)
Here is a shot, minus the bubbles...
And then we added the bubbles, but still no finished plumbing.
And the finished product! Looks great, huh?! :)
I jest... here it is with the shower curtain open... granted you can't see the finished plumbing, but take my word for it, it looks awesome! And we have a completely finished basement now! YAY!
On that note, it is time to move our projects UPSTAIRS! On a whim we went to a flooring store's liquidation sale a couple weeks ago. We have been wanting to replace the ruined carpeting upstairs for a few years (it was pretty trashed when we moved in). We promised ourselves we wouldn't buy anything unless it was EXACTLY what we wanted (wood laminate that is not yellow (oak) or red (cherry wood) and at the right price (under a dollar/sq. ft.). As we were headed out of the store I came upon some gorgeous pine laminate and we both loved it! It was .99/sq. ft, so of course, we bought it! This Saturday we will be installing 730 sq ft of THIS:
Now, before the new flooring is installed I felt the need to rectify a mistake I made nearly 6 years ago. When we first moved in to our house, the main floor was almost completely lime green. I am sure the previous renters loved their lime green walls, but it was so not me. The very first thing I did was paint. And paint. And paint... Unfortunately, I bought 5 gallons of paint based off of a sample that was about 4 square inches... though the sample looked pretty darn good in the paint store, it looked mighty purple on the walls... So I am now painting over my purple walls with a much better taupe. And I LOVE it!
Here are a couple before pics and a sneak peak at the after...
The original before. That's Lilia at age 2 in the bottom of the picture.
After the green, but before the taupe...
The new color is on the right!
While working on this project, Matthew has found a new game. Climb to the top of the ladder, realize you are stuck and call for help... Love this game. Ugh! Good thing he is so cute!

Otarre Pointe Takes Shape in Cayce
Lexington Medical Park – Otarre Pointe, Lexington Medical Center's new medical office building on the 12th Street Extension in Cayce, is taking shape.
Construction is more than halfway complete. The building is scheduled to open this fall. A "green" project, Lexington Medical Center is working to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the US Green Building Council for the facility.
Lexington Medical Park – Otarre Pointe is the latest neighbor in the area, a growing corridor of economic potential and business development that includes SCANA, Amazon.com, Nephron Pharmaceuticals and the Saxe Gotha Industrial Park.
The two-story, 70,000 square foot facility will offer services for company and employee needs. There will be a Lexington Family Practice office, where patients can see a doctor, then return to work. As needed, there will be X-Ray and lab capabilities as well as other programs including physical and occupational therapy, and meeting space for wellness initiatives and trainings. Importantly, employees of the companies surrounding the new facility will be able to go there for their company-specific needs, including DOT physicals, pre-employment and annual OSHA physicals, work related injuries, drug screens and audio testing.
These architectural renderings show what Lexington Medical Park – Otarre Pointe will look like when complete this fall.
Lexington Medical Park – Otarre Pointe is expected to employ more than 60 full-time employees. The project also plans to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, employing advanced technology to conserve resources.
A group of LMC employees took a tour of the construction site this month.
Here are some photos they took on their visit.
SCANA, with its headquarters recently re-located to the area, is working with the hospital to maintain as much of the natural land around the new clinic as possible, from preserving trees to minimizing asphalt. Lexington Medical Center is dedicated to preserving the rich historical and cultural significance of the Congaree area.
The architecture firm of Perkins + Will designed the building. Hood Construction is building it. Landscape architects from Sustainable Design Consulting, Inc. will provide landscaping.

Raise expectations

: : : : Can anyone think of a phrase that means to falsely raise someone's expectations, only to possibly dash them again?
: : : "Bait and switch" comes to mind --- it's the name of a swindler's ploy which has passed into general usage, seeming to offer some attractive "bait" which is switched at the last minute for something worthless.
: : On the other hand, if you don't mean to imply a malicious intent to deceive, you could simply say that someone "gave false hope". Or more colloquially, "It's all moonshine" --- in this case the word "moonshine" refers not to untaxed liquor but to the way a nimbus of soft light makes any prospect appear lovely, which in plain sight may turn out to be a wasteland or a garbage dump, or worse.
: The phrases that I can think of don't quite get it. Building castles in the air refers to self-delusion. Leading someone down the garden path -- seduction. Blowing smoke up one's a s s (or pumping sunshine up one's shirt) -- flattery.
"Let someone down" is the best I can think of. Pamela

Dancing With The Stars Pros To Dance In Ballroom With A Twist in Utah
If any of you are missing some of our pros of Dancing With The Stars and would like to do a little travelling after the holidays, this might be just the show to go to. Here is more from the Utah Symphony | Utah Opera….
Utah Symphony | Utah Opera today released the final roster of talent competition television stars scheduled to appear in the upcoming Utah Symphony performances of "Ballroom with a Twist," choreographed by "Dancing with the Stars" Emmy-Nominated Louis Van Amstel.
The show, which opens in Abravanel Hall Friday and Saturday, February 1 and 2 at 8 p.m., will feature dancing and vocals by ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" pros Chelsie Hightower, Dmitry Chaplin and Tristan MacManus, FOX's "American Idol" finalists Gina Glocksen, David Hernandez and Von Smith, and FOX's "So You Think You Can Dance" finalists Randi Lynn Strong, Legacy Perez and Jonathan Platero.

Both female dancers lived in Utah Valley prior to their reality television careers.

Dunn Bros Coffee, the specialty coffee brand with more than 80 locally owned shops, announced the franchise-wide rollout of its mobile payments and loyalty app.
With the Dunn Bros app, franchisees can better cater to the most important part of their business: their customers. The app provides a faster, easier payment experience and includes a list of the closest shop locations and a menu that customers can easily access anywhere. To reward loyal customers, the app automatically unlocks $3 of credit to spend at Dunn Bros for every $50 customers spend. The app also offers customers the option to donate a portion of their loyalty rewards to a neighborhood food shelf, a reflection of the company's commitment to the local communities it serves.
The Dunn Bros app is powered by LevelUp, the mobile payment and loyalty network. This means franchisees will have access to all the benefits of LevelUp's payment and loyalty infrastructure, including customer data that enables franchisees to better understand customers' purchase patterns; engagement tools within the Dunn Bros app that let franchisees act on the data to better segment customers and provide more relevant offers that result in increased sales and visit frequency; and lower payment processing on app transactions.
"Dunn Bros understands the importance of moving quickly in order to remain relevant to customers. While others might be content to sit on the sidelines until a clear winner emerges in the mobile payments space, we've adopted an 'act and iterate' strategy," says Laura Radewald, CMO at Dunn Bros. "We're seeing a significant lift in average ticket for app customers after just four weeks and are excited to be rolling our app out system-wide over the coming months."
"Our customers love the app," says Paula Martinez, store owner at Dunn Bros' Bettendorf, Iowa, one of the four app pilot locations. "Customers pay with the app all the time, which is helping us increase sales, speed-up the checkout process, and save money on payment processing fees. Our customers find it easy to use, and they love the rewards, so it's a hit with both customers and staff."
After a successful pilot at four regionally dispersed Dunn Bros shops, the app will begin rolling out to all Dunn Bros Coffee shops and is expected to be live system-wide by early December.

Last year's Best Actor winner, Jeff "The Dude" Bridges, who's also up for the same award this year for "True Grit," crowned Natalie Portman Best Actress.
"Thank you, thank you so much. Thank you so much to the Academy. This is insane. And I truly wish the prize tonight was to get to work with each of my fellow nominees…I want to thank my parents first and foremost…," said Portman. "Everyone who's ever hired me, Luc Besson, who gave me my first job when I was 11 years old."
Portman was mocked all over cyberspace for incredibly awkward acceptance speech at the Golden Globes, during which she assured everyone that her choreographer/fiancee, Benjamin Millepied, "totally wanted to sleep with (her)," and then letting lose an amazingly dork explosion of laughter.
U.S. & World
This was a big improvement.
Next, Sandra Bullock, who picked up last year's Best Actress prize for "The Blind Side," gave Colin Firth his Best Actor Oscar.
"I have a feeling my career's just peaked. My deepest thanks to the Academy. I'm afraid I have to warn you I'm experiencing stirrings, which are forming in the upper abdominals," said Firth.
We preferred Bardem's performance in "Biutiful," but Firth was truly great in "King's Speech," if not quite as good as he was in his previous film, "A Single Man," for which he was also nominated.
Firth closed his speech with an ominous warning.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some impulses I have to tend to backstage."

Back-to-Back Loan
A situation in which two companies in different countries borrow an equivalent amount from each other in their respective currencies. That is, there is no net capital output because the companies are borrowing the same amount, only in different currencies. The companies repay these loans in an agreed-upon period of time. This used to be a common way to hedge against currency fluctuations, though currency swaps have largely replaced them.

Chet Gibbs' 1963 "Jayhawker" Plymouth
Still Making Time In An Original Funny Car
In the history of drag racing, Chryslers creation of the Funny Car in 1965 is considered a major milestone. This handful of radically altered Dodge and Plymouth B-Bodies was outlawed by NHRA almost immediately, and the lucky teams who did receive them attended a few big events, but mostly went barnstorming across the country on the match race circuit. Nosebleed wheelstands, gold rosin burnouts, and exotic fuels were all part of this process, and the new Funny Car entries quickly became one of the most popular attractions in the sport. For those who were not part of the factory team effort, it became a case of put up or shut up. If you wanted to go Funny Car racing, you would have to begin from scratch and build something from your own fertile imagination. For racer Jon Thorne of Valdosta, Georgia, the obvious choice was to modify his 1963 Jayhawker Plymouth for this type of competition.
The first thing Thorne needed to do was get better weight transfer, so the rear end was moved forward 15 inches, like the factory cars, and the wheel openings were sectioned and moved up. The old K-frame came out and a straight front axle out of a Dodge truck went underneath. The front wheels were farther back than the factory cars had been, and a fiberglass nose for a 64 Plymouth replaced the 1963 sheetmetal. The Max Wedge era was over, at least in exhibition stock racing, so a 426 Hemi with Hilborn injectors provided wheels-up motivation. Thorne was ready to go take on the world.
The sport moved quickly in those days, and the Jayhawker was soon outdistanced by the all-fiberglass machines that appeared in 1966. It went through several owners before Mopar restorer Fred Englehardt bought it. By then, it was little more than an old body with a dash and windows, though the lettering was still visible.
That was when Chet Gibbs got ahold of the car. A collectible diecast and racing memorabilia dealer, Gibbs was a long-time racer who had grown tired of the electronics and other advances in the sportsman classes. He and his wife, Janice Weddle, leaped at the opportunity to buy the car. This would be more then a restoration project, though. The Jayhawker had been built to click off the top end lights at the dragstrip; that was where it belonged. So they formulated a plan to bring the car up to current NHRA exhibition standards while retaining the feel of the 1965 era.
A new roll cage was installed in place of the old roll bar, but as the pictures show, the interior was left as it had been in the glory days. Other than NHRA-certified seat belts on the old A-100 truck seat, a Turbo Action Cheetah SCS shifter to keep missed shifts in the past, and an Autometer tach to monitor the vital signs, you are seeing just what Thorne saw 35 years ago.
The rear suspension was restorednot upgraded. The car still uses factory Super Stock leaf springs, an 8 rear axle, and a set of separate springs with casters welded to the rear of the frame. For wheels, Thrush aluminum rims shod with VW 6.00x15 rubber keep the front off the pavement while a set of stock steel rims with 29.5x09x15 M/T slicks are under the rear; even the drum brakes were retained. Make no mistakes regarding this so-called mild setup; this Plymouth still uses those wheelie casters when it leaves the line.
The lettering on the car was used to create templates so it could be accurately recreated once the bodywork and new paint were put on. Gibbs also located a gentleman who had worked for Thorne and secured photography that showed exact placement of lettering and details. The blue (which is slightly darker than the original) and silver colors were put on by Toby Tobin and the lettering was reproduced from the templates by Bob Thatcher.
Because of Chets mechanical background, the engine was his job, and he began putting together a 520-inch Hemi stroker motor that would breathe methanol for fuel. The steel block was bored and stroked, and a set of high compression forged pistons and an .850-inch Crane roller camshaft went into the short block. Due to the unique layout of the front suspension, the oil pan and headers needed to be fabricated for the car. Topping off the engine are eight tall Hilborn injectors, which receive fuel via an Endrele pump from a small tank in the grille. An MSD Super Mag and braided steel lines were the only visible changes from the 1960s, so the engine looks the part and can spin up to 8000 rpm when Chet decides to let it all hang out.
The rest of the driveline is also period specific. A 727 TorqueFlite that Chet rebuilt is in the trans tunnel, complete with an 8-inch Turbo Action converter and valve body. Under the back end, the original 8 rear uses a set of Strange 4.56 gears and Moser axles.

Gift: Fear of the Lord (Wonder and Awe) – With the gift of wonder and awe (fear of the lord), we are aware of the glory and majesty of God. A person with wonder and awe knows that God is the perfection of all we desire: perfect knowledge, perfect goodness, perfect power, and perfect love.
Reading: For the grace of God has appeared, saving all and training us to reject godless ways and worldly desires
and to live temperately, justly, and devoutly in this age, as we await the blessed hope, the appearance of the glory of the great God and of our savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to deliver us from all lawlessness and to cleanse for himself a people as his own, eager to do what is good. (Titus 2:11-14)
Observation: As I read this reading this morning, I was already tormented by thoughts of my sinfulness that I could not shake. My son came to my rescue on more than one occasion to remind me of the man who God was creating me to be, as a father to my children and a child of God myself. The truth is, if we are not completely committed to following God in all parts of our life, we will continue to be tempted to fall into sin, when the opportunity to sin presents itself. This reading reminds me that I must be strong to reject the godless ways that I was raised with, and stay strong against the worldly desires that would consume me, since I have previously accepted some false gods of lust and pride in my life.
Personification: Self-Control. It is only when I set up all parts of my life to be in union with the will of God, that I know that I will be given the grace to display self-control and overcome any temptation that may present itself. Rather than linger in this moment of letting my mind wander into my past sinfulness, I choose to make a sincere resolution to convert all parts of my life to following the precepts of God as the church has revealed them to us.
Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner…Amen!

I have been trying to find the "How How" video for ages, but it does not seem to be available online. I raised the question with Yello management regarding its existence (as I clearly remember it from the 90's) and have been kindly informed that it does in fact exist! Because it has not been digitalised as yet, it is not on the internet. Has anyone got it on VHS?

Indianapolis, Ind. - The NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Committee announced Monday the field of 62 teams for the 2012 NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Championship. Farmingdale State will travel to, and play, Hartwick (an at-large team) on Friday, March 2 at 7:30 p.m. in the NCAA First Round in Oneonta, N.Y. MIT (25-1) will face Skidmore (19-8) in the first game at the site at 5:30 p.m. Winners will play on Saturday, March 3 in the Second Round at 7:30 p.m. for a chance to advance to the Sectionals on March 9-10.
Hartwick is ranked #21 in Division III, holding a 23-3 record, a program high for wins, and is coached by the Empire 8 Coach of the Year, Todd McGuiness. The Hawks fell in the Empire 8 semifinals to #4 seed Ithaca, 79-67, who beat Hartwick twice this season. Hartwick is led by Empire 8 Player of the Year, sophomore forward Jared Suderly (Newport, N.Y./West Canada Valley), who averages 18.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and shoots 86.4 from the free throw line and 54.4 from the floor.
Senior guard Mark Blazek (Erie, Pa./Erie Cathedral Prep) and Long Island native, senior forward Chris Ryder (Port Washington, N.Y./Port Washington) also highlight the squad. Blazek shoots 42.6 from 3-point territory, a team-high, and scores 13.8 points per game. Ryder was selected to the Empire 8 First Team and is averaging 13.3 points and 8.7 rebounds per game.
In the past 7 years, this is the Rams 4th appearance in the NCAA Tournament, with the last trip coming in 2009 when they reached the Elite 8 after an at-large bid. Farmingdale State is led by junior forward AJ Matthews (Brooklyn, N.Y./Van Arsdale), the Skyline Player of the Year. Matthews leads the Nation in both double-doubles (25) and rebounding (16.6), while also scoring 22.4 points and blocking 3.9 shots per game.
Senior guard Joshua Smith (Deer Park, N.Y./Deer Park), a 1st Team All-Skyline selection, is second on the team in scoring with 15.3 points, a 47.2 field goal percentage and 2.3 steals per game. Senior guard Dyshaun Flournoy (Brentwood, N.Y./Brentwood) posts up 13.2 point per game, a 30.2 3-point percentage, and a 71.1 percent free throw. Junior point guard Ryan Davis (Flushing, N.Y./Bayside) leads the team with 5.1 assists per game, 139 total which ranks 2nd All-Time at FSC for assists in a season. Freshman forward Ibrahim Johnson (New York, N.Y./Hostos-Lincoln Academy) rounds out the starting five with 8.7 points, a team-high 63.6 field goal percentage and 6.9 rebounds.
Forty-two conferences have been granted automatic qualification for the 2012 championship. One independent team (Pool B) and 19 other at-large teams from the remaining independent teams and automatic-qualifying conferences who did not receive their conference automatic qualification (Pool C) were selected by using specific selection criteria approved by the Division III Championships Committee.
Two first-round games will be conducted Thursday, March 1, with the winners advancing to play Saturday, March 3, against teams that received first-round byes. Fourteen sites will host four teams for first- and second-round competition Friday-Saturday, March 2-3. Second-round winners will advance to one of four sectional-round sites March 9-10. Winners of the four sectional games will advance to the finals March 16 and 17. All games, except the finals, will be played on the campuses of competing institutions. The finals will be conducted at the Salem Civic Center in Salem, Virginia.
