Club Information
FCBC strives to provide a top quality recreational program for the youth of Fort Collins and surrounding communities.
The average cost of participation in the recreational league is $7.00 to $12.00 per game. This cost when further spread between practices and supervised team activities is reduced another 50-66%, making baseball a very economical and rewarding summer program. FCBC is funded solely through fees, sponsorships, fundraising and donations.
FCBC is governed by a Board of Directors, who employs a full-time Executive Director to oversee the day to day management of the organization. FCBC has two standing committees, Recreational and Competitive, who in turn have representatives on the Board of Directors. In 2010, FCBC played games seven days a week on sixty-four different ball fields throughout the community. All available city, school district, and private fields were utilized during the season. Along with the city field crews, many of these fields are partially and some fully maintained by field crews hired by FCBC. In addition, sixty-one highly trained and tested umpires, covering nearly 3500 games are employed by the club. Well over 400 volunteer coaches and other team personnel participate in the program every year.
Fort Collins Baseball Club is a private non-profit organization which has served Fort Collins and the surrounding area since 1961. FCBC has over 250 teams with a total enrollment of more than 3300 players, ranging in age from 5-18yrs participate in spring, summer, fall and winter indoor leagues. Some teams, play competitively in our Competitive League and Select Divisions with more playing in our High School American Legion Program. The bulk of the FCBC Club however, continues to emphasize the fundamental importance of recreational baseball, not only as a feeder to these competitive teams, but also as an essential source of alternative summer and fall recreation for our young people.
In keeping up with the tremendous demand for fields, FCBC has become a leader in field construction and joint city and school district projects to this end. In 1993 FCBC completed the Boltz Field Project resulting in the construction of 2 new fields at a local junior high. With additional cooperation between the city and school district in 1995, three new fields were constructed at Lincoln Jr. High and one at Timnath Elementary. Walt Weiss Field and Larry Walker Field are two of the last to be built through a grant with the Colorado Rockies and the McCormick Tribune Foundation. FCBC continues to promote a pro-active approach to working with the private and public sectors in providing more recreation opportunities for our youth.

Psalm 128
Joshua 6:1-16, 20
Acts 13:1-12
Astonished to Learn of Jesus 100111
From the book of Acts (Acts 13:1-12) we read the story of Barnabas and Paul visiting the island of Cyprus, where they eventually met the Roman proconsul (governor). When they told him of the Lord Jesus he was astonished.
First, I have to admire Barnabas and Paul's ability to evangelize and astonish. I pray we all might be so able to astonish!
But Jesus is astonishing! Remember back, before you were a Christian and you first came to learn the meaning of even the smallest, infinitesimal part of what God is or what Jesus is.
When you say your morning prayers, your noonday prayers and your evening prayers, try to remember when you were first astonished by Jesus. We should and can still be astonished every day, as this love that Jesus has for us, astonishes and surprises us.
Pray for peace.
(brother) Bill
Psalm 128
1Happy is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways.
2You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be happy, and it shall go well with you.
3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table.
4Thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord.
5The Lord bless you from Zion. May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6May you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
Joshua 6:1-16, 20
6Now Jericho was shut up inside and out because of the Israelites; no one came out and no one went in. 2The Lord said to Joshua, "See, I have handed Jericho over to you, along with its king and soldiers. 3You shall march around the city, all the warriors circling the city once. Thus you shall do for six days, 4with seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. On the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, the priests blowing the trumpets. 5When they make a long blast with the ram's horn, as soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and all the people shall charge straight ahead."
6So Joshua son of Nun summoned the priests and said to them, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and have seven priests carry seven trumpets of rams' horns in front of the ark of the Lord." 7To the people he said, "Go forward and march around the city; have the armed men pass on before the ark of the Lord." 8As Joshua had commanded the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the Lord went forward, blowing the trumpets, with the ark of the covenant of the Lord following them. 9And the armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets; the rear guard came after the ark, while the trumpets blew continually. 10To the people Joshua gave this command: "You shall not shout or let your voice be heard, nor shall you utter a word, until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout." 11So the ark of the Lord went around the city, circling it once; and they came into the camp, and spent the night in the camp. 12Then Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord. 13The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the Lord passed on, blowing the trumpets continually. The armed men went before them, and the rear guard came after the ark of the Lord, while the trumpets blew continually. 14On the second day they marched around the city once and then returned to the camp. They did this for six days. 15On the seventh day they rose early, at dawn, and marched around the city in the same manner seven times. It was only on that day that they marched around the city seven times. 16And at the seventh time, when the priests had blown the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, "Shout! For the Lord has given you the city. 20So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. As soon as the people heard the sound of the trumpets, they raised a great shout, and the wall fell down flat; so the people charged straight ahead into the city and captured it.
Acts 13:1-12
13Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a member of the court of Herod the ruler, and Saul. 2While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." 3Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.
4So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia; and from there they sailed to Cyprus. 5When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John also to assist them. 6When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they met a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet, named Bar-Jesus. 7He was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man, who summoned Barnabas and Saul and wanted to hear the word of God. 8But the magician Elymas (for that is the translation of his name) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul away from the faith. 9But Saul, also known as Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him 10and said, "You son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and villainy, will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord? 11And now listen—the hand of the Lord is against you, and you will be blind for a while, unable to see the sun." Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he went about groping for someone to lead him by the hand. 12When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.

Jesus: Eternal and Divine Son of God
Written by Bob Williams
It was prophesied again and again in the OT that a Messiah would come. The Bible shows (and Christians believe) that the Messiah was Jesus, whose earthly parents were Joseph and Mary of Nazareth. Jesus lived a sinless life and then gave His life on the cross in order to redeem mankind from their sins. Perhaps it is stated best in John 1:11-12. "He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name."
Christians agree that Jesus is referred to in Scripture as the Son of God. But there is disagreement among some regarding the true nature of Jesus and His relationship with God the Father. Some believe in the trinity and sometimes use terms like God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit in an attempt to express the divinity of all three Persons. Others believe there is only one supreme being who expressed Himself in three different ways; they commonly say that "Jesus is God" and are often referred to as "Oneness" believers or modalists (the belief that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are merely "modes" of God). Still others believe that God is the only divine being and that Christ is merely a created being.
Names of God
To better understand the nature of Jesus, it is helpful to first consider what the Bible says about God. Several names are given in Scripture for God. In the OT, the Hebrew word Elohim (Strong #430) is found 2606 times and is translated as "God." Its form is plural (seemingly indicating a plurality of majesty and divinity), though its construction is singular. The singular form Eloah (Strong #433), found only 57 times, is used generally as an expression in poetry and is found most often in the book of Job. Corresponding to that is Elah (Strong #246), which is found 95 times in the Aramaic passages of the OT.
The word El (Strong #410) is found 245 times and was a common designation for deity in general, whether the one true God or other gods. Thus it is often combined with other terms to identify God (El Shadday, etc.). Also found numerous times is the Hebrew word Adhon (Strong #113, 334 times) or Adhonay (Strong #136, 439 times), which means "lord" or "master."
The most commonly used and distinctive word used in reference to God the Father is the tetragrammaton YHWH (Strong #3068, found 6828 times), which is transliterated into English as Jehovah or Yahweh. This is the name by which God was to be known to the generations of Israel, as given to Moses in Exodus 3:14-15: "And God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'" And God, furthermore, said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'The LORD (YHWH), the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.' This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations."" "I AM" is derived from the verb "to be" (hayah, from which is derived YHWH), and thus refers to the eternal nature and self-existence of God. The Jews would not pronounce this name, however, but instead would say Adhonay (Lord). Accordingly, it is generally translated in Scripture as Lord (in many translations rendered LORD or LORD; a few use the transliteration Jehovah).
The Hebrew Elohim (and at times YHWH) is typically translated as theos (Strong #2316) in the Greek Septuagint (an example of such can be found in Matthew 22:32 where Exodus 3:6 is quoted). The Hebrew Adhonay and YHWH (Jehovah or Yahweh) are typically translated into Greek as kurios (Strong #2962). In the Greek NT, theos is usually translated into English as "God"; kurios is usually translated as "Lord." Thus the following generally applies: Elohim = Theos = God; Adhonay and YHWH (Jehovah or Yahweh) = Kurios = Lord.
Jesus is called God
Deuteronomy 6:4 says, "Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one!" The Jews developed the practice of reciting these words twice a day (called the Shema). Indeed in the midst of a world full of man-made gods, Jehovah God stands as the one true God. In Exodus 20:2-6, He commanded Israel to have no other gods before Him. When asked to name the greatest commandment, Jesus quoted Deuteronomy 6:4-5, affirming His conviction that God is the one Lord (Mark 12:29-32). He did so once again in John 17:3 when He prayed to "the one true God."
And yet the Bible also refers to Jesus as God:
Notice that Jesus is referred to several times as theos. Again, as already shown, this is generally the same as the Hebrew word elohim, the plural word for God and divine majesty. In Genesis 1:26, the Bible says: "Then God (elohim) said, "Let US make man in OUR image, according to OUR likeness" (see also Genesis 11:7). This plural form may be intended then by the use of theos in referring to Jesus, the Son of God. Regardless, these verses show that both the Father (Jehovah or Yahweh to Israel) and the Son are to be considered to have the nature of divinity, the nature of God (elohim). There is indeed only one true God, but apparently (in a way that is difficult to understand as humans), He consists of both the Father and the Son. Indeed the Lord (YHWH) is God (Elohim), and so also is His Son Jesus Christ.
Other Passages on the Divinity of Jesus
In Matthew 1:23, Christ is called "Immanuel" which means "God with us." Isaiah 9:6 says, "For a child will be born to us, a Son will be given to us; and the government will rest upon His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace."
In Philippians 2:6-8, Paul refers to Jesus' equality with God. He states that Jesus "existed in the form of God," but that He did not feel the need to grasp or hold on to that equal nature/form. Instead, for our behalf, He "emptied Himself (literally, laid aside His privileges, as footnoted in the NASB), taking the form of a bond-servant, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross." Colossians 2:9 speaks of Jesus and says, "For in Him (Christ) all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form."
Related to this is the teaching that Jesus is the very image or expression of God. John 1:1 refers to Jesus as the Word. In the Greek, Word is from logos, which means "thought" or "expression." In Colossians 1:15, it says that Christ is "the image of the invisible God." 2 Corinthians 4:4 also says that Christ "is the image of God." Hebrews 1:3 says that Christ "is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation (express image-KJV) of His nature."
John 5:1-16 speaks of Jesus healing a man on the Sabbath. V18 says, "For this cause therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God." Later, recorded in John 10:30-33, the Jews intended to stone Jesus for saying, "I and the Father are one." V33 says, "The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a Man, make Yourself out to be God.""
Christ also showed His divine nature and equality with God by forgiving sins. In Mark 2:5-7, Jesus forgave a man's sins. The scribes reasoned that Christ was blaspheming because, as they said, "Who can forgive sins but God alone?" Indeed such is consistent with OT teaching (Job 14:4; Isaiah 43:25; Daniel 9:9) as well as what Jesus Himself indicated in Matthew 6:12 about asking God for forgiveness. (Other examples of Jesus forgiving sins include Luke 5:24; 7:48-49.)
Perhaps most significant is what Paul wrote in Romans 10:9-13: "That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed." For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call upon Him; for "Whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.""
V13 is apparently a quote of Joel 2:32: "And it will come about that whoever calls upon the name of the LORD will be delivered." Notice that "LORD" in this verse is the Hebrew YHWH (Jehovah or Yahweh). Then, in Romans 10:13, it is translated into the Greek as kurios (as stated above, this is the typical Greek translation for the Hebrew YHWH) and rendered in English as "Lord." There is some debate on whether this is a reference to God or to Jesus. It should be noted, however, that the context of the whole passage is about Jesus and the salvation that results by faith in Him.
Regardless, notice what occurs in v9. Paul, by inspiration, specifically says that we are to confess that "Jesus is Lord." The word "Lord" here is the same Greek kurios as is found in v13! It is the same word translated as LORD or Jehovah or Yahweh in the Greek Septuagint. And thus the meaning should be clear: salvation involves a recognition and belief that Jesus Christ is the divine Son of God, sharing in God's majesty, and rightly Himself called God. Again, as John 1:1 says, not only was Jesus with God, He was God. (Jesus is actually called Lord (kuiros) in numerous places throughout Scripture; see especially Philippians 2:11.)
Jesus is Eternal
Indeed Jesus is as God, who is without end or beginning. God, in Exodus 3:14, referred to His eternal nature when He said, "I AM WHO I AM." A similar statement is made by Jesus concerning Himself in John 8:57-59: "The Jews therefore said to Him, 'You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?' Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I Am!' Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him." Notice that not only does Jesus say He existed before Abraham was born, more than 1500 years before Jesus' earthly conception, but He describes Himself in the very same manner ("I am") as God described Himself in Exodus 3:14 ("I AM"). It appears that Christ is claiming that same eternal and self-existent nature as possessed by God.
Notice these words were spoken concerning Jesus in Hebrews 13:8: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever." God Himself spoke of the Son in Hebrews 1:8 and says, "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever."
Micah 5:2 similarly states of Jesus: "But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, from the days of eternity." Recall also that one of the names given to Jesus in Isaiah 9:6 is "Eternal Father." John 1:2, speaking of Jesus (though disputed by some, the context is clear that this is indeed Jesus) says, "He was in the beginning with God." In John 17:5, Jesus said, "And now, glorify Thou Me together with Thyself, Father, with the glory which I ever had with Thee before the world was." Jesus clearly indicates that He existed before the foundation of the world. (See also Genesis 1:26; John 1:15; 3:13.)
Numerous other passages indicate that Jesus was responsible for the creation of all things. Looking again at John 1, concerning Jesus, v3 says, "All things came into being through Him; and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being." In 1 Corinthians 8:6, Paul refers to "one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him." Hebrews 1:10 says of Jesus, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of Thy hands."
Colossians 1:15-17 says, "And He (Christ) is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on the earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things have been created by Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together." Some have implied that "first-born" means the first created being, but Paul himself defines the term in v16. He calls Christ the "first-born of all creation" and then explains why such a term is used: "FOR by Him all things were created." Paul indicates that "first-born" here means that Christ is the origin of creation, not that He was the first created being. He specifically says that Christ existed before ALL created things. Were Christ actually the first thing created, then it would not be accurate to say that Christ created ALL things. [The New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version) adds the word "other" to read "because by means of him all [other] things were created," thus giving a false meaning other than that given in the original inspired Greek text.]
Jesus the Son and God the Father are Separate and Distinct
Although the Father and the Son are both called God, they are clearly distinguished from one another. The Father is not the Son; neither is the Son the Father (likewise, the Holy Spirit is distinct from both the Father and the Son). They are two separate persons.
Numerous passages of Scripture show a distinction between God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. Psalm 2:7 speaks of the Lord God and His Son. Proverbs 30:4 asks, "What is His (God's) name or His son's name?"
Throughout the gospels, Jesus' own words speak of the distinction between Himself and God the Father: Matthew 11:27; 16:17; 26:39; 27:46; 28:19; Mark 13:32; 15:34; Luke 2:49; 4:18; 23:34, 46; John 3:16; 5:20, 22, 30; 6:27, 37-46; 8:18-19; 14: 6, 16, 23, 26; 15:26; 17:24; 20:17, 21. Furthermore, in Matthew 3:16-17 and 17:5, God Himself affirms such as He speaks concerning His Son. John 13:1 says that Jesus knew "that His hour had come that He should depart out of this world to the Father." Luke 6:12, John 11:41-42, and John 17:1ff speak of Jesus praying to God; would this be reasonable if there was no other distinct person?
In Acts 2:22-36, 3:13-15, and 10:34-42, Peter speaks clearly of the distinction of God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. In Acts 7:55, Stephen "gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God." Paul says in Acts 13:33, "God has fulfilled this promise to our children in that He raised up Jesus." He declared in Acts 17:31 that God would judge the world through His Son whom He raised from the dead. In Acts 17:21, Paul spoke to the Ephesian elders about "repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ."
In 1 Corinthians 8:6, Paul writes, "Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we exist for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him." Paul further writes about God and Jesus in numerous passages: Romans 1:1-9; 1 Corinthians 1:1-9; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21; 13:14; Galatians 4:4-6; Ephesians 2:18; 4:4-6; Philippians 2:5-11; 1 Timothy 2:5.
The Hebrew writer also speaks in a manner that shows God and Jesus as two separate beings: Hebrews 1:1-8; 2:17; 5:5-10; 7:25; 9:14. Peter wrote in 1 Peter 1:3, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." John wrote in 1 John 1:3, "Our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ." In 2 John 3, he spoke of "God the Father and Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father." Jude 1 talks about "God the Father, and Jesus Christ." Finally, Revelation 1:5-6 speaks of "Jesus Christ, the faithful witness and His God and Father."
Jesus the Son and God the Father are One
In John 10:30, Jesus declared, "I and the Father are one." How can this be? If they are indeed two separate and distinct persons, in what way are they also one? Some have conjectured that this verse proves that Jesus is God, and God is Jesus, that they are not two persons. However, the concept of two (or more) being one is not uncommon to Scripture.
In John 17:20-23 Christ prayed that His followers would also be "one" with the Father and Himself. Specifically, He prayed, "that they may all be one; even as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be in Us, that the world may believe that Thou didst send Me." Surely no one thinks that Jesus was praying for His apostles to become one person. Thus we acknowledge that being "one" does not mean becoming a single being, but rather it signifies unity. (This prayer is at least partly answered in Acts 2:44, etc. as it shows that "all those who had believed were together.")
Another example is found in Genesis 2:24: "For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh." Again, this in no way suggests that the two became one person. Rather, being "one" means that a husband and wife are to be united in every sense of the word.
Does this not also then reasonably describe the relationship between God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ? They are two separate and distinct persons, and yet are one. They are united in purpose, in essence, in divinity and majesty, etc. They each have specific roles to fulfill; the Son is subject to the Father (He is called the God and Father of Jesus Christ: John 20:17, Romans 15:6, 1 Corinthians 11:3, 2 Corinthians 1:3, 2 Corinthians 11:31, Ephesians 1:3, Ephesians 1:17, Colossians 1:3, Hebrews 1:9, 1 Peter 1:3, Revelation 1:6, Revelation 3:12) just as the wife is to her husband, and yet both relationships are described as "one."
It should be no surprise that Jesus the Son was often called by the same names used for God. The Son represented His Father to human beings; He was exactly like his Father; He stood in place of His Father; He was, in a sense, God to human beings.
Perhaps it is beyond human capability to truly understand the nature of God and His Son. This much is evident, however: God loved us so much that He gave us His Son, who died for us. "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God" (1 John 3:1). All this is possible because of Jesus, our Lord and our Savior. Whether we completely understand and agree on this issue, we know that salvation is only in Him (Acts 4:12).

New York (Storch Report) — The act was Rude, Disrespectful, Immature, and typical of a Trophy generation that is used to getting its way and when it doesn't it plays the race card of a liberal progressive and follows playbook 101 of the Democratic Party Inappropriately taking advantage of an opportune moment in time.
The audience that came to see Hamilton on Friday Nov. 18 at the Richard Rogers Theater didn't pay between $200 and $849 a seat to hear a concluding not so veiled lecture with racial overtones from Brandon Victor Dixon, the actor who played Aron Burr with cast behind him, addressing the incoming administration because VP-elect Mike Pence was in the audience.
The cast was informed 30 minutes before the performance that VP-elect and company would be in the audience. The statement, which was to be delivered by Dixon, was written by Hamilton's director Thomas Kail, and lead producer, Jeffrey Seller, according to the New York Times — the publicity arm of the Democratic Party.
It was unfortunate that the Times did not warn the cast of Hamilton before the election of November 8th that Trump was likely to win because they were so much in the tank for Hillary Clinton that they failed to see the diversity vein that the Trump-Pence team tapped into to represent All of the People in America and handily win the election. Had they accurately reported what was happening — which they have since apologized for to subscribers — Dixon and cast might not be as 'alarmed and anxious' about the incoming administration.
The crux of Dixon's message in behalf of Hamilton was: "Vice President-elect Pence, we welcome you and we truly thank you for joining us here at Hamilton: An American Musical, we really do. We, sir, we are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us — our planet, our children, our parents — or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights, sir. But we truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us. All of us.
"Again, we truly thank you for sharing this show. This wonderful American story told by a diverse group of men and women of different colors, creeds, and orientations."
VP-elect Pence left promptly, as is usually the case with Presidents and VP's in such situations, but he did graciously stop and listen to the message.
It might be worth noting that when President Obama attended a performance of Hamilton he was warmly welcomed and given a speaking platform following the performance, likewise with Hillary Clinton where there were a plethora of photo ops.
This was a rude, disrespectful, immature and not-so thinly veiled performance of racial messages, so typical, but inappropriate of liberal progressives.

Both the main switch (P-channel MOSFET) and the synchronous rectifier (N-channel MOSFET) are integrated internally. This Step-Down DC-DC Converter can supply 600mA output current over a wide input voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V. The over voltage comparator OVDET guards against transient overshoots >7.8% by turning the main switch off and keeping it off until the fault is removed. Current Mode PWM Control voltage then is the input voltage minus the voltage drop across the main switch and the inductor. At low input supply voltage, the RDS(ON) of the P-Channel MOSFET increases, and the efficiency of the converter decreases. Caution must be exercised to ensure the heat dissipated not to exceed the maximum junction temperature of the IC. Note 5: The duty cycle D of a step-down converter is defined as: D = TON × f OSC × 100% ≈ VOUT ×100% VIN where TON is the main switch on time, and fOSC is the oscillator frequency (1.5MHz). Maximum Load Current Slope compensated current mode PWM control provides stable switching and cycleby-cycle current limit for excellent load and line responses. During normal operation, the internal main switch is turned on for a certain time to ramp the inductor current at each rising edge of the internal oscillator, and turned off when the peak inductor current reaches the controlled value. When the main switch is off, the synchronous rectifier will be turned on immediately and stay on until either the inductor current starts to reverse, as indicated by the current reversal comparator, IRCMP, or the beginning of the next clock cycle. The BL3406B will operate with input supply voltage as low as 2.5V, however the maximum load current decreases at lower input voltage due to large IR drop on the main switch and synchronous rectifier. Application Information Figure 2 below shows the basic application circuit with BL3406B fixed output versions. 2.7V - 4.2V VIN Pulse Skipping Mode Operation 4 C1 4.7uF At very light loads, the BL3406B will automatically enter Pulse Skipping Mode to increase efficiency, further extending battery life. In this mode, the control loop skips PWM pulses while maintaining output in regulation, and the switching frequency depends on the load condition. This is a kind of PFM mode operation.

Basic Application Circuit with fixed output versions Dropout Operation Setting the Output Voltage When the input voltage decreases toward the value of the output voltage, the BL3406B will keep the main switch on for more than one switching cycle and increases the duty cycle (Note 5) until it reaches 100%. The output Figure 1 above shows the basic application circuit with BL3406B adjustable output version. The external resistor sets the output voltage according to the following equation: PPMIC BU -7- www.belling.com.cn BL3406B 1.5 MHz, 600mA Synchronous Buck Converter VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R2 ) R1 Inductor Selection The output inductor is selected to limit the ripple current to some predetermined value, typically 20%~40% of the full load current at the maximum input voltage. In continuous mode, the ripple current is determined by: ΔI L = V 1 VOUT (1 − OUT ) f ×L VIN from the device. The input capacitor impedance at the switching frequency shall be less than input source impedance to prevent high frequency switching current passing to the input In continuous mode, the source current of the main switch is a square wave of duty cycle VOUT/VIN. To prevent large voltage transients, a low ESR input capacitor sized for the maximum RMS current must be used. The maximum RMS capacitor current is given by: I RMS ≈ I OMAX A reasonable starting point for setting ripple current is ∆IL=240mA (40% of 600mA). For output voltages above 2.0V, when efficiency at light load condition is important, the minimum recommended inductor is 2.2µH. For optimum voltage-positioning load transients, choose an inductor with DC series resistance below 150mΩ. For higher efficiency at heavy loads (above 200mA), or minimal load regulation (but some transient overshoot), the resistance should be kept below 100mΩ. [VOUT (VIN − VOUT )]0.5 VIN This formula has a maximum at VIN =2VOUT, where IRMS = IOUT/2. This simple worst-case condition is commonly used for design because even significant deviations do not offer much relief. Ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended due to their low ESR and high ripple current. Output Capacitor Selection The DC current rating of the inductor should be at least equal to the maximum load current plus half the ripple current to prevent core saturation. Thus, a 720mA rated inductor should be enough for most applications (600mA+120mA). The output capacitor is required to keep the output voltage ripple small and to ensure regulation loop stability. The output capacitor must have low impedance at the switching frequency. Ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended due to their low ESR and high ripple current. The output ripple VOUT is determined by: Input Capacitor Selection ΔVOUT ≤ ⎞ VOUT × (VIN − VOUT ) ⎛ 1 ⎟ × ⎜⎜ ESR + VIN × f OSC × L 8 × f OSC × C 2 ⎟⎠ ⎝ The input capacitor reduces the surge current drawn from the input and switching noise PPMIC BU -8- www.belling.com.cn BL3406B 1.5MHz, 600mA Synchronous Buck Converter Package Description PPMIC BU -9- www.belling.com.cn

TONY EASTLEY: The Federal Attorney-General Nicola Roxon is consulting with her state counterparts, deciding the scope and scale of the Royal Commission into child abuse.
Ms Roxon hopes to have the terms of reference finalised by the end of the year. She says it's clear that more than one commissioner will be required and that the inquiry will take years, not months.
The Attorney-General Roxon has spoken with chief political correspondent Sabra Lane.
NICOLA ROXON: I think it's very likely that we'll need several commissioners. That's what we currently have in mind. And we've committed to making sure the terms of reference and the commissioners are announced by the end of the year.
SABRA LANE: Some victims have very high hopes for this commission. To be clear, will the commission investigate or prosecute individual cases?
NICOLA ROXON: Well, the commission isn't replacing our police and law enforcement agencies, so individual matters still need to be dealt with first and foremost by the police.
But we very much understand that many victims do want to be able to tell their story at the Royal Commission.
Part of the complexity in dealing with the terms of reference is to make sure that the focus, as the Prime Minister has said, is institutional and systematic and working out ways to protect children better in the future and make sure that our institutions don't fail them.
But we also need some sort of outlet for individuals who want to be able to tell their story and make sure that the commissioners are aware what happened with them. And that's a delicate balance and one that we're working through very carefully and will take us some weeks.
SABRA LANE: The Prime Minister has acknowledged that this commission will take some time. Will it take as long as Ireland's inquiry? That took nine years.
NICOLA ROXON: I think we need to be managing expectation that it will be years, not months. Our early thinking here is that you would set some report back dates. You don't want the Royal Commission to run for many, many years and have no reporting back to the public or to government. But again they are matters that we need to work through hand in hand with the development of the terms of reference.
And I would have thought that people are very understanding that this will take years, not weeks or months. But we do need to make sure, whilst not setting arbitrary timelines, that we do look at proper report back so that there is oversight and feedback to the public when people are telling their very traumatic stories and when we're trying to get to the bottom of what's gone wrong and why so many people were let down as children.
SABRA LANE: You've been busy already talking to a number of people about the commission. Tell us about those consultations to date.
NICOLA ROXON: Obviously, there's a number of different portfolios within our own Government.
Then there's discussions with State Government. Then we need to make sure particularly victims' groups are consulted. We need to make sure that developing the terms of reference doesn't turn into a mini royal commission itself.
So it needs to be done at a national level and we will over the coming weeks make sure that we engage as many groups as possible in those discussions.
SABRA LANE: The Catholic Archbishop George Pell yesterday said if a priest confessed sins of child sex abuse to another priest, that the confessional was still sacrosanct and not reportable to police. What do you think?
NICOLA ROXON: Well, I think we're asking the Royal Commission to look at what went wrong in particular institutions. This isn't an inquiry just about the Catholic Church but it obviously will include them. And we need to look at whether any of those sorts of processes were part of the problem or not.
I don't think we should be ruling in and out any issues that might be raised at the commission. We know that there's delicate matters.
But ultimately I think the thing that's important is to pick commissioners with high standing and appropriate experience and let them do the job that the Government and the community is asking them to do, which is sifting through what any sorts of barriers - institutional or systematic - were there, that when children who had already been treated appallingly raised matters they were then let down as well by other adults.
SABRA LANE: Will the issue of restitution be an issue for this inquiry?
NICOLA ROXON: The main focus is on systems and institutions and making sure that we have proper protection in place for young people; one, to prevent the horrible crime of child abuse happening; but two, to make sure that if it's reported that it's acted upon properly.
So that's the main focus. But we're not ruling in or out any matters that might flow from that.
SABRA LANE: The harmonisation of child reporting requirements between the states hasn't also been achieved, despite years of talk. Have politicians of all persuasions, both federally and across the states and territories, let children down over this?
NICOLA ROXON: We've got to do more. It's obvious that more has to be done. It's obvious and I think having the Royal Commission brings a range of those things to a head.
I think there's a lot of goodwill and a lot of people committed to being able to improve the protections for children. But unfortunately in our federation that hasn't always proved easy - for people of all political persuasions and at all different levels of government.
So I don't think it's an issue of finger pointing but it is an opportunity for us to look at what, as governments, we can do. And there is absolutely no reason that we can't continue to act and reform while this Royal Commission is underway.
But the Royal Commission also I think gives extra impetus and no doubt will make far reaching recommendations that governments would need to act on as well.

Our Lady of Mercy Regional Catholic School
From the Principal .... CATHOLIC Education
Memories of Catholic education will remain with me for the remainder of my life. And they are wonderful memories, ones that are shared and brought back to memory when one encounters others who shared the same advantage. With such a gift, it is only natural that you hope others might also share it. It is a very personal and strong reason for my belief in Catholic education.
I laugh to remember how in first grade Sister Grace made us slide over to make room for our guardian angel. I don't slide over anymore. But if I could tell someone only one bit of wisdom, I would tell them that they indeed have an angel of their own, not an imaginary playmate, but a companion, who reminds them of God's love and mercy.

SPECIAL DONATION REQUEST - Thank you already for your overwhelming support!
By now, many of you have heard of the tragic accident that occurred last week involving a 2nd grade student from Maple Glen Elementary School. Jenna Demar and her father were struck by a vehicle last Monday night as they were walking home on Susquehanna Road. Tragically, Jenna Demar passed away from her injuries on Tuesday, October 18th.
There is a Go Fund Me account already set up, which has raised over $77,600 for the family. Our Lady of Mercy would like to give Jenna's family a lasting memorial to their beautiful daughter. An OLM mom suggested purchasing a bench to be placed in one of the parks in Upper Dublin (Mondauk Water, Verans Memorial, Klosterman Park). We thought that would be a lovely tribute and we are proceeding with the purchase of the bench and a plaque.
Next Monday, October 31st, OLM is celebrating Halloween by allowing students to accessorize their uniforms with orange and black Halloween t-shirts, socks, etc. To help pay for the bench ($1,000), we are asking for a $1 (or more) donation. We will keep everyone updated on the site chosen and the progress of the installation. Thank you for you support and Mercy.

Virtue of the Month: SERVICE
Our virtue of the month of November is Service
"Do not shut yourselves in your small world, but be open to others, especially to the poorest and neediest, to work to improve the world in which we live. Be men and women for others, real champions in the service of others." ~ Pope Francis
For Christians, service is not something to be tacked onto our schedules if we can spare the time. It is the heart of the Christian life. Jesus came "to serve" and "to give"—and those two verbs should define your life on earth, too. Serving and giving sum up God's purpose for your life. Mother Teresa once said, "Holy living consists in doing God's work with a smile."
Students will be taught to begin to shift their focus from "Who's going to meet my needs?" to "Whose needs can I meet?"
We pray to Saint Catherine LaBoure to help us to serve others.
Students will be recognized at the School Liturgy on Thursday, December 8th.
Attention all 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students! The OLM Ski and Board Club is preparing for a great season at Bear Creek Mountain Resort in Lehigh Valley, PA! Please save the following dates for our six session ski package.
Registration and more information will be sent home in the coming weeks. See you on the slopes!

Professor Scanlon
Why do Drugs and Eating Disorders Affect the Body Image of an Athlete?
Athletes are constantly worrying about how they look; they always seem to ask themselves "am I strong enough? Or am I too weak?" but what they don't know is if you worry about your body so much it could lead up to serious consequences. Most athletes take enhancement drugs so they could get stronger or appear stronger, also some athletes have bad eating disorders in which some stop eating just to get to a specific weight.
Why do Drugs and Eating Disorders affect the body image of an athlete?
Natalie Angier and the American College of Sports Medicine could both answer this question by both of them talking about all the consequences that drugs an eating disorders bring to an athlete.
In the article "Drugs, Sports, Body Image and G.I. Joe," Angier discusses if toys are influencing the ways that children want like to look like when they grow up. In the article it shows how all the new action figure are coming out more muscular also Dr. Pope said that "dolls might be planting in boys' mind a template for a he-man's body that cannot be attained without engaging in obsessive behaviors to build muscle and strip off fat, and then augmenting those efforts through the consumptions of drugs like human growth hormone and anabolic steroids, which are versions of the male hormone, testosterone…." (486). Angier also included that when people take steroids it don't always make you stronger, you may appear stronger but your muscle would be weak. It also says that athletes are not always in it for the "fitness" but they're mostly in it for the competition and they'll try to anything to achieve what they want. In Angier's article she says that toys like G.I. Joe and Barbie influence children's perceptions on how they are expected to look. Many people would agree with this because children's always seem to...

Alcohol has always been branded as a malice to the society. Here 5 benefits of "moderate" drinking that some studies have proven.
1. Red wine may help prevent heart disease
Red wine, in moderation, is said to help prevent heart diseases.
Red wine is loaded with antioxidants. These antioxidants help to increase "good" cholesterol levels and protect against artery damage. One key antioxidant found in red wine is resveratrol, and this ingredient prevents damage to blood vessels, lowers bad cholesterol levels, and keeps blood clots from occurring.
Of course, the key phrase in all of this is "in moderation." Too much drinking can actually be bad for your heart. "Moderation" is considered to be about 2 drinks a day for men and 1 drink a day for women.
2. Beer does a body good?
Beer is a good source of dietary silicon. This helps to keep the bones healthy.
Of course once again the word to keep into mind is moderation. So, pick a beer you enjoy, and don't drink more than a couple a day. And remember, just because the beer might be giving you strong bones doesn't mean you can jump from a second floor balcanoy.
3. Red wine for fighting cancer
Some studies on the antioxidants found in red wine have shown that they may help prevent the development of certain types of cancer. Red wine is full of polyphenols that are thought to have some significant anticancer properties.
For example, resveratrol has been shown to "reduce tumor incidence in animals by affecting one or more stages of cancer development." It inhibits the growth of many different kinds of cancer cells.
Of course, there have also been some reports that show red wine consumption may slightly increase breast cancer risk. It's difficult to conclude just what the link is between wine and cancer.
4. Reach out and touch someone
Alcohol has long been known as a "social lubricant," and studies have shown that sociability is good for your physical and mental health. So, assuming that alcohol increases your sociability (as opposed to making you cry about former lovers and lash out at strangers violently), alcohol can indirectly be good for your health. Of course this benefit disappears if you're drinking alone in your garage, or you become so intolerable under the influence that alcohol actually strains your relationships.
5. Can beer slow the aging process?
Heavy beer consumption has always been linked to faster aging, but researchers in Austria and the Czech Republic now say that moderate beer consumption can actually slow the aging process. Apparently, the hops in beer have anti-inflammatory properties, and beer also fights free radicals in the body that many believe are responsible for accelerating the aging process.
Of course, new studies are constantly being released about the health effects of alcohol, and the simple truth is the jury is still out. One thing, however, is for sure. If alcohol does have any potential health benefits, it's only when consumed in moderation. Overdrinking can cause serious health problems, so please keep a close watch on your drinking habits.
(this is an article forwarded by a neurologist friend, it doesn't mean that it negates the negative effects and dark effect of alcohol on health. Alcohol is known to have dangerous effects on the brain, mind and body. These effects might start from the single dose of the same. It is medically suggested for a person to get treated for alcohol addiction the moment its brought to notice by others

Week of May 17
Anthony got to feel his baby girl kick for the first time on Friday the 18th. It was around dinner time and we were sitting on his parent's couch watching TV. I would have him put his hand on my belly and would ask him if he would feel her kick and she finally kicked hard enough he could feel it! I also finally gave in and bought some cute outfits for our sweet little girl.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." — John 3:16 (NIV)
John 3:16 is probably the most memorized verse in the Bible, and not without good reason. Many cornerstone issues of life are packed into this single verse. First and most obvious is that God's love for the world — which doesn't mean the earth, but human beings living on the earth — is huge. God is not indifferent toward each of us, God is passionate for us. If He has any anger toward us for the way we have been living and ignoring or rejecting Him, it is dwarfed by the love He has for us.
What is the measure of His love for us? He sent Jesus, His one and only Son, into the world as a human, knowing that His beloved Son would have to die so that we might live. We are not told — probably because it would be difficult for us as mortals (and not God) to understand — what it was like to do these things, only that we are given the impression from the "so" in the sentence that this was a big deal.
We are startled by what Jesus says next. The reason God had to make such a sacrifice is that people are perishing, and that is not what God wants for us. He wants us to have eternal life. But what is this "eternal life" that God wants us to have? People often think of this as being in heaven with God after we physically die. This is part of eternal life, but I think a fuller definition would be that eternal life is having an intimate relationship with and knowledge of God (see John 17:2-3). Eternal life starts before you physically die, as long as you meet the requirements of obtaining eternal life. So back to the point about "perishing": Jesus is not saying that He came into the world to keep our bodies alive, but to bring us to a relationship and to reconciliation with God. The implication is that until Jesus' work takes place in our lives, we are not reconciled to God, which means that there is something between Him and us — and it's not God's fault that it's there. If eternal life is a place of intimacy with God, then at a very minimum, "perishing" must be a place away from God.
The only way to be reconciled is to "believe". What is the nature of this belief? I think that what Jesus is saying is that we must believe that He is indeed the Son of God, and believe that the only way of reconciliation with God is not to behave better, but to have faith that His death was sufficient to close the gap between us and the Father. Then, if we do believe, we are to follow Jesus all the days of our lives.
Note that the invitation is to "whoever". That means that you can put your faith in Jesus and follow Him no matter who you are or what you have done. It's "whoever believes".
In the comments on the next verses we will look more closely at Jesus' additional statements which reinforce and amplify what He said in this verse.

Boston Massacre
Directions: After analyzing the seven primary sources, determine who was to blame for the Boston Massacre. The essay must contain • an introduction with background history information
• an underlined thesis statement addressing the prompt • supporting points cited from at least 4 of the primary sources. Make sure to reference the author of the source when referencing the information. (ex. Major Preston reported that…. or Paul Revere recorded in his drawing that ….) • a conclusion with analysis and new insight. The conclusion does not simply re-state the thesis. It is appropriate to point out the weaknesses or negative points of the opposition viewpoint if you wish.
Do List
• spell check
• ask someone to proof read and then correct grammar, sentence structure etc. • Ask yourself have you persuaded the reader to your point of view by using evidence from the primary sources. Have you acted like a lawyer using physical evidence to convince a jury and not circumstantial evidence. • Type and print the essay prior to coming to class. Do not bring your storage device for me to print. • Essay should be 11/2 to 2 pages, 12 font, black ink
• Work on the essay for several days and make changes. Seek help from the teacher after school if you have questions.
Do Not List
• Do not use "I think, I believe, I feel" in the essay. Make your points declarative and support them with references to the primary source and analysis. • Do not use personal pronouns in the essay, "our nation, we wanted, we were afraid." You are not part of the story. State "the nation, the colonials wanted, the Bostonians were afraid," etc.
• Do not bring your storage device for me to print the essay during class. Come to my room by 7:30 am for printing or go to the library during lunch. • Do not fail to turn your essay in on time. Email the...

Fatherland by Robert Harris
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Fatherland is set in an alternative world where Hitler has won the Second World War. It is April 1964 and one week before Hitler's 75th birthday. Xavier March, a detective of the Kriminalpolizei, is called out to investigate the discovery of a dead body in a lake near Berlin's most prestigious suburb. As March discovers the identity of the body, he uncovers signs of a conspiracy that could go to the very top of the German Reich. And, with the Gestapo just one step behind, March, together with an American journalist, is caught up in a race to discover and reveal the truth – a truth that has already killed, a truth that could topple governments, a truth that will change history
It's 1964, twenty years after Germany won WWII. Hitler is approaching his 75th birthday. Berlin has been rebuilt on a massive scale. Poland no longer exists. Western Europe has been dissolved into one Economic bloc. Only Switzerland has escaped becoming part of the Reich Empire. Joe Kennedy is the current American president.
Xavier March, a member of the SS after the absorption of the police into the SS, is sent out to investigate a body found in a lake. This pulls him into the high ranks of the German hierarchy during the war, the taking of art, and ultimately the notes of Wanasee, where the Final Solution was discussed and agreed. He finds corruption is rife, triple crosses occur everywhere and a fanatical belief in the Third Reich (and Hitler) starting with his ex-wife and son. Already disenfranchised with the state of things, it is shattered even more when he comes across an American journalist who gives him another view of things.
As usual, you feel that Harris has done his homework – the whole story with regarding to Wansee and the concentration camps ties with other variations I have of this, the use of the German ranks is impressive (esp if you dont know what they mean!) and the envisioning of what Berlin would have been like had the building plans gone ahead.

Andrew Maynard: Now that we have your coverage prediction, it seems most likely that your TV has picked up Crystal Palace during the retune, which is only 62 degrees away from the direction of Bluebell Hill, and since Crystal Palace broadcasts on lower frequencies this is probably why your TV has stored Crystal Palace channels in preference to Bluebell Hill. If you click on the DigitalUK Trade link below your post, it gives you the UHF channel numbers used by Bluebell Hill, which you can enter into your TV's manual tuning function to restore the South East region for BBC/ITV.

As promised in the story at the heart of last week's SIA Flashback, Arch Brown and Bud Juneau followed their 1936 Graham story with a look at Graham's latter years as a carbuilder and at how Graham came to use Cord's body dies in those years, a story built around their profile of the only (remaining) Graham Hollywood convertible, a prototype built for a member of the Graham family that was later sold, used as a driver, and then painstakingly researched and restored.
Another excellent article! One look at this car and I can't figure out why it didn't sell. One good looking automobile that would certainly be welcome in the circles I travel in. It's tragic indeed that so many independent auto companies, despite building good products, could not compete with the large multiple brand makes. But I guess that speaks for itself; the Big Three had the edge on raw material procurement, and they could share body sheet metal and power train components with other brands within their empire. At least there are some survivors…
It didn't sell because the company only built one custom model and didn't intend to market them. The wonder of it all is why the handsome sedans that they did build didn't sell very well.
The Hollywood sedans didn't sell well because Graham had production problems with them. The cord body didn't suit assembly line production.
The cord roof was made in 7 pieces and that created a lot of problems.They initially had a lot of orders but buyers wouldn't wait long enough for them to straighten out their problems.
Absolutely correct. But even when they had the production underway, still not a good seller.
I imagine WWII might have had something to do with sales as all the men were in service.
Whether or not they intended to market convertibles, who can say? The Hupp sales literature shows the "Corsair", a 5-passenger convertible, also appearing in the Graham catalog as "Hollywood" and "Clipper" 5-passenger ragtops. (The Graham brochure also shows a 3-passenger "Sportster"convertible.)
Every article you write is well worth reading. Another fantastic read.
Is there an easy way to scan through the SIA pages? If I look at one and hit the back button, it takes me to the top of the blog.
As a Cord owner and Cord aficionado I loved the article, and I've been fortunate enough to photograph both the 1 of 1, Graham and Huppmobile convertibles, both with interesting stories. Maybe I should try and retro fit my Cord Beverly with the Graham/Hupp front windows with the vent window.. Howard Payne.
Sir , I would leave your Cord alone it's pretty just the way it is and FYI Hupp abbreviated is with two p,s and one p used when Hupmobile is spelled out don't know why that happened but it's that way since the 20s possibly earlier no disrespect meant….
I probably have repeated myself ad nauseum, but we did some business with Bill Harrah when he was the owner of the world's greatest automobile collection. I met him when my Father sold him a Chalmers in about 1965. I spent two days looking at the cars and Bobbi Gentry and was absolutely dumbstruck by both. He had all the versions of the Cord-Hupp-Graham trio, but I was too young and stupid to appreciate what was there. I recall my Dad stating that one was equipped with some type of special wide wheel that was rare even in the 1930's, but the name escapes my feeble memory. Imagine what that collection would be worth if it were still together today? What would this unique convertible be worth? I would probably end up disappointed, because it wouldn't bring the money an old rusty original 300SL did last month. To me, the Graham is by far the more desirable car. I'm an old philistine, I guess.
Lets face it- Back then these one off cars were oddballs and GM, Chrysler and Ford were doing very well with their offerings. No one wanted to be the oddball on the block with an assembled car. Hupp and others were finished and they knew it.,
Food for thought. However, if you put yourself back in 1936, I'm not sure that these independents thought that at all. Remember, they had a long tradition of building cars, they were well established, they probably were optimistic that the great depression was temporary, and that if better economic conditions came along, they would bounce back. I doubt if they considered themselves,"oddballs"
Consider Willys Overland. Went through receivership, but went on to great success with Jeep, and never went out of business, was purchased, merged, juggled around, but still today makes Jeeps as part of Fiat. Willys still viable, but Oldsmobile, Pontiac defunct.
Hi Dan, great redoux of the fabled Cord 810-812 Phaeton that Gordon Buehrig designed. You can get more info from the book that Josh Malks wrote; "Cord Complete". It relates the people involved, like John Tjaarda who resigned the front end and grill on the Hupp for a tiny fee of $50.which was done over a weekend!

By happenstance, I watched the first Twilight movie three nights ago, the second in the series two nights ago, and the new one last night; all for the first time. So I'm coming at this completely fresh.
WARNING: Minor spoilers.
First of all, all three movies had entire segments that made me squirm for all the longing gazes and delayed gratification. Sheesh.
Secondly, I believe that either Jake or Edward or both of these smucks should properly at the end of the series turn to ol' Scarlett O'Bella and say, "Frankly, my dear. I don't give a damn."
The movie theater was packed: I realized afterwards that the movie just opened. Of course, I had the talkiest, noisiest three women in the theater behind me, cackling and hooting, and after awhile, I decided they were right to cackle and hoot: I smacked my head a few times after Scarlett O'Bella decided that she just had to, no she really shouldn't, but she couldn't help herself, but she really loves Edward more, give Jake a lustful kiss that left her swooning.
Still, after selling the books and trying to sell the graphic novel (HALF PRICE!), I'm glad to finally discover what the fuss is all about.
Poor teenage girls. Such drama. Such turmoil. Such angst!
