Is there at all times a direct connection involving the intensity of the car accident and the seriousness of the injury?
No. Some major accidents result in major injuries and minor accidents often result in least or no injury at all. But there are instances where a minor car accident left the driver with serious physical injuries that result to a lifetime of significant problems, and major accidents where the persons involved miraculously survived with just a few scratches and bruises.
Are all car accident injuries evident immediately?
Some major accidents result to serious injuries right away while some are not. Due to the trauma caused by the car accident, the body reacts by producing endorphins which are painkillers and you might not know at that instant that you have been injured.
If you believe that you have been injured in a car accident, what should you do?
You must be examined by a doctor immediately. If possible ask your doctor to record all sustained injuries. If you have any recurring symptoms of the injury during the first or two weeks after your car accident, it is important to consult your doctor about this. Do not try to pull off some medicare fraud, otherwise you could face some serious problems.
What you need to know if you suffered from car accident injuries?
If you have been injured by someone else's negligence, it is important to seek the legal services of a personal injury lawyer. Discuss with your lawyer the possibility of making a personal injury claim. It is imperative to talk to an injury lawyer before making any statements, answering any questions or signing any forms from the liable party's insurance company representatives or adjusters.
Take some primary steps to make sure your personal injury claim can proceed by writing down everything that you can remember about how the accident and/or injury occurred, including the names, addresses, and phone numbers of the driver, potential witnesses, insurance company name, and other related details. Keep any evidence you may need to prove your injury, such as the vehicle, photographs of the accident and/or injury, clothes you were wearing, and damaged personal belongings. Get a copy of the accident report if police responded and the medical record and report of your doctor.
Take photographs of your injuries. Keep copies of all documents, bills, medical records, and so forth. Record all clinic/and or hospital visits, prescriptions, medications, laboratory services, treatments, including visitation dates, amount charged, and reasons for seeing the medical doctors.
Make sure to keep all the bills and repair papers associated with your car repair. Don't forget to keep all records and receipts you have paid for (out of pocket) regarding injuries sustained in the accident, this may include heating pads, bandages, cab services and/or car rentals, and so forth.

Earlier this month Distinguished University of Alberta History Professor Ian MacLaren added his voice to the chorus calling on the government to reconsider its tragic and incomprehensible plans for LIbrary and Archives Canada in a letter to the Prime Minister.
"My distress issues out of your government's gradual, imperilling withdrawal of funding needed for the efficient operation of Library and Archives Canada. The resultant restructuring has been so drastic as to render this flagship institution of Canadian culture almost unrecognizable.
Staff have been cut. Service hours have been reduced. The purchase of materials has been brutally curtailed. Loan policies have been cancelled outright. Scholars from other countries coming to Ottawa to conduct research have had their inquiries go unanswered and their trips to Ottawa end in complete failure to access any records because of the dearth of staff available either to reply to correspondence or to fill standard requests to see records. The organization is in utter disarray. The dismal consensus is that, in a space of a half-dozen years, the library has so deteriorated as to be failing to fulfill its legislated mandate."will will will will

I continue to worry about how the inexpensive "Black Sea" feed wheat is going to affect US corn sales. You have to believe with Russian feed wheat trading at $75 to $90 less than US corn, exports sales of both US wheat and corn could certainly struggle. With Russia right in the middle of harvest, this inexpensive alternative could simply continue to weigh on global prices. I am just not sure corn has the power or the backing right now to take "both" of these markets to higher ground. On it's own accord, I believe "Corn" would be performing very well, but with wheat continuing to trade at a steep discount, we just cant seem to gain the traction I would have anticipated.
I am starting to think it might take several weeks or even a couple of months before we are able to work through the glut of feed wheat Russia has thrown on the market. I haven't even touched on the fact that we now have reports of ranchers in severals parts of the US starting to work in High Protein "Hard Red Wheat" into feed rations... This is something we certainly need to keep our eye on as we move forward.
Bottom line, we need some type of support in the wheat market before we can run corn prices much higher. I am thinking wheat has support down in the $6.25 to $6.00 range for sure, but a break of that magnitude could pull corn down to around $6.50.
Yesterday's market action was somewhat of a concern to me and has therefore prompted me to ease my bullish corn rating back just a touch. As you know, I prefer to listen to the "markets" rather than the other analysts, and from where I sit, the markets are struggling to digest extremely bullish news. We had very strong "outside" market action yesterday, right along with one of the hottest periods ever recorded for corn pollination, and the market struggled to find direction. This isn't what we want to see. I have to admit that makes me a little more apprehensive, and I am starting to think this run might take some time to play out. With that being said, I am going to trade extremely small, still only from the bullish side, and continue to be selectively only buying on the deep breaks. I would urge you to follow a similar logic.
I definitely want to be long, as I seriously doubt the yields or harvested acres are going to be there when the smoke clears and dust settles. I am simply not good enough to try and play the short-term swings, therefore I continue to believe you have to stay bullish in small doses.
Folks, to truly understand what moves these markets, you must first understand what Managed Money and the Funds look for and then position yourselves accordingly.

Bicycles instead of cars? Dense apartment clusters instead of single homes? Community rituals instead of churches? "Human rights" instead of religious freedom? The UN Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat II) which met June 3-14 in Istanbul, painted an alarming picture of the 21st century community. The American ways-free speech, individualism, travel, and Christianity-are out. A new set of economic, environmental, and social guidelines are in. Citizenship, democracy, and education have been redefined. Handpicked civil leaders will implement UN "laws", bypassing state and national representatives to work directly with the UN. And politically correct "tolerance"-meaning "the rejection of dogmatism and absolutism" as well as "appreciation" for the world's religions and lifestyles-is "not only a moral duty, it is also a political and legal requirement."1
Hard to believe? Not for veteran UN observers who faced boos and hisses for expressing concern in open UN assemblies. Nor for pro-family members of NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) who faced exclusion from public dialogues for opposing feminist commander Bella Abzug and her radical agenda. And not for those who watched the ecstatic welcome given Fidel Castro and his anti-American diatribe.
Yet, our president and our non-elected American delegates, headed by U.S. Secretary Henry Cisneros, endorse this revolutionary plan, and our U.S. Department of Education is already establishing the framework for its local implementation. Why? What is happening?
PRO-COMMUNIST IDEALS. "We are the world and the world does not yield to masters nor to suicidal policies," declared Castro, concluding his June 14 plenary remarks aimed at Western capitalist nations. "The world does not accept that a minority of selfish, insane and irresponsible people lead it to annihilation."
"Fidel, Fidel..." shouted the audience. The thunderous applause followed him all the way back to the Cuban section on the other side of the hall, where fans lined up to shake his hand.
Why are you so enthusiastic?" I asked some of his fans after the session.
"Because he stood up to America," someone answered.
"Because he is a living myth," explained another. "He was a simple guerrilla, fighting for the oppressed against the rich and powerful."
"Fighting for the oppressed..." The UN claims that mission, but third-world women who have faced its abusive birth control practices tell a different story. Like the Communist Manifesto, the alluring UN promises designed to win support cloak an agenda that shows little compassion once power has been won.
In fact, Communist ideology permeated major NGO (non-governmental organizations) workshops, official UN literature, and the organizational guidelines for local communities. Entering the huge "Best Practices" exhibition of model cities, visitors immediately faced wall-sized pictures and elaborate models of Chinese housing projects and community plans. Displays from the rest of the world shared the strips along the outer perimeter of the cavernous hall.
Behind the huge Chinese section, visitors watched Turner Broadcasting videos. Featuring Jane Fonda who once brought anti-American greetings to North Vietnam, each film taught a politically correct plan for personal empowerment: A roomful of men learn to use Singer sewing machines. Women are trained to run a collective construction company. A sad mother holding a crying baby brings a politically correct message: "Baby Miguel's life would be different if his mother was educated and working." A tough Jamaican supervisor at a women's collective shouts, "We don't want to make babies, we want to make money! We can become meaningful people to society without having children! WE MUST PRODUCE, NOT REPRODUCE!"
POPULATION CONTROL. The Turner-Fonda message matches the feminist agenda. Former U.S. congresswoman Bella Abzug,2 who had led the onslaught on traditional values at the 1995 UN conference in Beijing, now helped engineer an official partnership between UN leaders, national delegates, and NGOs that support the UN gender agenda. Stationed around the world, her feminist troops promise to serve as watchdogs, making sure "civil society" implements their program for indoctrinating students with feminist ideology. Inspired by the spirits of earthy goddesses such as Athena and Ishtar whom they worshipped in Beijing, they have little tolerance for Christians and others who oppose their agenda.
"We want to change things," declared Abzug. "We'll be on executive boards. We want the participation of NGO's on the security council."
She serves the globalist purpose well. Mobilizing worldwide rebellion against Christian values, pushing birth control and gender-role equality for every family, demanding sex education for every student, and requiring international surveillance to monitor compliance, her followers are speeding the global revolution. Like countless other UN partners, they are winning by propaganda, intimidation, and growing popular consent.
Note that population control means controlling people, not merely births. Regarded as international law, the Habitat Agenda negotiated in Istanbul includes all the intrusive action plans outlined at former UN world conferences. "We want to ensure that previously endorses language [from former UN conferences] is upheld and incorporated into this document," declared Henry Cisneros, U.S. Secretary for Housing and Urban Development (HUD) who led the US delegation.3
This "international law" would limit not only the size of the world population but also housing, production, consumption, parenting, communication, and religious expression.4 Its alarming resemblance to the USSR Constitution5 implies far greater restrictions than those specifically stated in the Habitat Agenda. Since many specifics were detailed at previous UN conferences, it cannot be fully understood outside the context of the progressive plan for global governance as outlined in all the documents.
Training in global citizenship would begin with the universal education system outlined at the 1990 UN World Conference on Education for All. It matches Goals 2000, America's version of the international education system. Already molding minds around the world, the UN plan for "lifelong learning" indoctrinates young and old with the socialist ideology and earth-centered spirituality designed to create solidarity, an essential element to the envisioned world of peace.
SOLIDARITY. Traditional beliefs simply don't fit the UN vision for 21st Century communities. To find more universal values, Habitat leaders convened a day-long "Dialogue" on the meaning of Solidarity at the elegant Ciragan Palace in Istanbul. The official list of 21 panel members included former Jerusalem mayor Teddy Kollek, historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr, and Maurice Strong6 who led the 1992 UN conference on environment.
"I have gathered leaders with tremendous wisdom and prestige," began Habitat Secretary-General Wally N'Dow. "They are bringing the spiritual dimension-the only ingredient that can bind societies together." He had chosen an American moderator who would add credibility to the discussion: Robert MacNeil (of MacNeil-Lehrer), "one of the spiritual lights of the media industry today."
This hand-picked "interfaith group" left little doubt that solidarity meant a universal shift to the new globalist-New Age paradigm (or world-view). "Change your whole way of thinking, because the new order of the spirit is confronting and challenging you," said Millard Fuller, President of Habitat for Humanity.
"Citizenship for the next century is learning to live together," said Federico Mayor, Director General of UNESCO. "The 21st Century city will be a city of social solidarity.... We have to redefine the words... [and write a new] social contract."
"We should stop bemoaning the growth of cities," added Dr. Ismail Serageldin, Vice President of The World Bank. "It's going to happen and it's a good thing, because cities are the vectors of social change and transformation. Let's just make sure that social change and transformation are going in the right direction." Later he added, "The media must act as part of the education process that counters individualism."
The heart of lifelong education would be spiritual training. "What's needed is an interfaith center in every city of the globe," said James Morton, dean of the Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Divine, who organized the panel. "The new interfaith centers will honor the rituals of every... faith tradition: Islam, Hinduism, Jain, Christian [a cross-less version that blends with other beliefs]... and provide opportunity for sacred expressions needed to bind the people of the planet into a viable, meaningful, and sustainable solidarity."
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. The guiding principle of the new universal education system is "sustainable development." People everywhere must be taught "facts" about environmental "risks" that are sensational enough to scare them into compliance. They must be persuaded to accept unthinkable limits on consumption, land use, transportation, and family size. Everyone must protect resources for future generations, say UN leaders, but they agree that the real meaning of sustainability is based on the E's: Environment, Economy, and Equity, which point to a redistribution of the world's resources-money, energy, water, and people-in order to create global equality.
History has shown the emptiness of these promises. Long ago the Communist Manifesto announced a proletarian revolution which would empower the poor by redistributing wealth. Everyone would be equal. Men and women alike would join the socialist workforce, and children would be trained by the state.
It happened! All but the leaders became equally poor, and all the children were indoctrinated with an anti-Christian socialist philosophy. Morally and economically, the masses sank to the level of the lowest common denominator.
The similarities between the Communist Manifesto and the UN agenda (outlined in the Beijing Declaration and incorporated into the Habitat Agenda) should be a call to action. Both revolutions--
* Use psychology and sociology to establish the victimhood, blame and anger needed to fuel the revolution.
* Use education to conform minds to the new ideology.
* Use synthesis (blending opposing views into compromise beliefs that match new goals) to produce group consensus.
* Promise economic equality to seduce the masses.
* Spread hatred toward "extremists" who refuse to compromise.
The Communist Manifesto led to religious, moral and economic bankruptcy. Yet UN-led activists and their US partners are determined to fulfill their utopian visions.
IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN. The US Network for Habitat II is one of a myriad of national and international UN organizations committed to carry out the UN plan in local communities. "The Network is a forum for making sure people are heard," explained one of its leaders. "Its role is to tie together the messages from all six UN conferences into practical action."7
"Partnerships will be increasingly important," he continued. "People in faith communities can help us. We use the African proverb: "'It takes a village to raise a child.'
...Collaboration that links...government, the private sector, and the civil sector."
Do you see the resemblance to the "People's Government" that characterized the local "soviets" in the former USSR? Lenin knew he couldn't win through representative democracy, so he organized local assemblies called Soviets. Linked through a national federation of Soviets, each local Soviet was ruled by the uneducated proletariat, the "raw material to be molded by an audacious leader"8 skilled in the use of propaganda. Private merchants, landlords, and priests were excluded from leadership. The chosen elites were supervised and disciplined by rulers at a higher level. Few dared complain. As Andrei Vishinsky wrote in The Law of the Soviet State, "There can be no place for freedom of speech, press, and so on for the foes of socialism."9
The UN plan matches US plans. The UN agenda fits well into the policy-making framework already being established in US communities. Three official plans for transforming cities show how UN tactics for change works hand-in-globe with US strategies.
In 1995, school districts from coast to coast were asked to use Education Secretary Riley's Community Action Toolkit to change public opinion and win support for Goals 2000. In 1996, two similar plans for local transformation were introduced:
* The Local Agenda 21 Planning Guide, the Habitat II action plan based on Agenda 21, the environmental program negotiated at the 1992 UN World Conference on Environment and Development.
* Sustainable America: A New Consensus, a report by The President's Council for Sustainable Development.
The striking similarity between the three plans suggest an alarming cooperation between the UN and US authors. All three share the following buzzwords or concepts: partnerships, consensus, lifelong learning, baselines or benchmarks, monitoring, assessment, data gathering, systemic change, system thinking, social development, etc. All stress the need to measure, assess, and monitor progress.
All are designed to bypass traditional government and govern people through a form of "citizens" or "grassroots participation" which the Encyclopedia Britannica refers to as "totalitarian democracy" and Communist leaders have called "People's Government." In the US, this system is already bypassing both state and national representative governments. As in Lenin's Soviets, neither UN forums nor the US community meetings on education will acknowledge dissenting voices. Resisters are silenced by trained facilitators who only record voices that echo the "right" ideology.10
Notice below how the UN's Local Agenda 21 and President Clinton's Sustainable America fit into the new bureaucratic framework already being established through America's official Community Action Toolkit. Note also how they match Hitler's strategies, which he learned from watching the USSR.
Hitler's Mein Kampf: "The most striking success of a revolution will always have been achieved when the new philosophy of life as far as possible has been taught to all men, and if necessary, later forced upon them."13 He tells his followers to "sift the human material it wins into two large groups: supporters and members.... A supporter of a movement is one who declares himself to be in agreement with its aims, a member is one who fights for them.... and corresponds only to the minority of men."14
Local Agenda 21 (UN): "The proper selection of participants for the Stakeholder Group and its Working Groups is perhaps the most critical step in establishing a partnership planning process. The composition of the participants will determine...consensus for action.... Include... representatives of groups who are traditionally underrepresented" including "special groups of people (women, youth and indigenous people)... media, environmentalists...."15 Consider "the inclusion of individuals with credibility...." (p. 22)
Sustainable America: "Steps should be taken to ensure that historically under-represented groups are involved." (p. 90) "Building stronger links... can revitalize grassroots democracy...." (p. 89)
Local Agenda 21 (UN): "The first task of such a Stakeholder Group is to formulate a Community Vision which describes the community's ideal future and expresses a local consensus...." (p. 8)
Sustainable America: "Through a series of meetings and events, the community develops a vision for its future." (p. 88) "In Portland, Oregon, Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Seattle, WA... citizens are participating in community "visioning" exercises. Through these, they typically envision a safe and healthy community...." (p. 76)
Hitler: When a movement harbors the purpose of tearing down a world and building another in its place, complete clarity must reing in the ranks of its own leadership...."17
Sustainable America: "Specific economic, environmental, and social goals are determined.... Next, the community sets priorities for its goals, identifies specific actions, and establishes indicators or benchmarks to measure progress...." (p. 88)
Local Agenda 21: "Establish distinct Working Group structures under the supervision of the Stakeholder Group... Working Groups are given responsibility for ... priority setting, issue analysis, visioning, action planning, implementation...." (p. 15) "...it is vital that concrete targets be developed.... They also are used to measure progress...." (p. 103)
Sustainable America: "National indicators of public well-being will build on the information identified, gathered, and disseminated...." (p. 67) "Education for sustainability is lifelong....Benefits... include an understanding of... social and economic changes that will affect their lives." (p. 72)
Local Agenda 21: "The key to successful community-based assessment process is to link the use of participant assessment exercises and expert technical assessments.... The full assessment exercise can be used to educate residents and stakeholders." (p. 51)
"Tools used for the presentation of information can range from workshops to puppet theaters...." (p. 53)
Hitler: "The first task of propaganda is to win people for subsequent organization.... The second task of propaganda is the disruption of the existing state of affairs and the permeation of this state of affairs with the new doctrine...."20
Sustainable America: "Community-based coalitions can create educational media campaigns..., disseminate high-quality information on community issues, and promote public discussions that identify solutions to problems." (p. 90) "Accurate information built on basic scientific research established the foundation of knowledge needed for sound decisionmaking...." (p. 61)
Agenda 21: Use "neighborhood surveys, community meetings, and public forums to directly engage the resident population in identifying and analyzing issues...." (p. 45)
* * *
FALSIFYING EVIDENCE TO WIN SUPPORT. "Accurate information" and "analyzing issues" are two of many seductive euphemism that deceive the public. Truth and facts matter little. What counts are stories and "scientific" arguments that evoke the "right" response: a willingness to submit to unthinkable controls in order to save the earth. For a glimpse at the twisted data used as evidence for environmental risks, ponder the following comment by Dr. Frederick Seitz, past President of the National Academy of Sciences:
"The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a UN organization regarded by many as the best source of scientific information about the human impact on the earth's climate, released "The Science of Climate Change 1995".... I have never witnessed a more disturbing corruption of the peer review process.... More than 15 sections... were changed or deleted after the scientists charged with examining this question had accepted the supposedly final text... The following passages are examples of those deleted:
* "None of the studies cited above has shown clear evidence that we can attribute the observed climate changes to... increases in greenhouse gases."
* "No study to date has positively attributed all or part of the climate change to... man-made causes."
"IPCC reports are often called the "consensus" view. If they lead to carbon taxes and restraints on economic growth, they will have a major and almost certainly destructive impact on the economies of the world.... Their effect is to deceive policy makers and the public into believing that the scientific evidence shows human activities are causing global warming.21
"Without "proof" that humans cause global warming, globalist lose their strongest argument for world governance. Therefore they cannot let mere facts slow the spreading public persuasion that humanity's future rests in the hands of UN-US environmental 'saviors.'"
BUT GOD STILL REIGNS. "Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing?" asked the psalmist. "The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and His Anointed, saying, 'Let us break their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us."
The words King David wrote more than 2000 years ago, fit our times. Then as now, the leaders joined together to plot the end of God's reign. They would destroy His influence, break free from His natural order, and establish a new form of government based on their own imagination. History shows the devastating results. But God continues to reign! No matter how much people shun, mock or slander Him, He remains God. We, not He, become the losers when we ignore Him and shun His truth.
"The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing, He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect," wrote the author of Psalm 33. "The counsel of the Lord stands forever." To those who know His wisdom, that's good news!
The bad news is that most of the world is following false counsel. It's time for Americans wake up, return to God, and stand together against the oppressive forces that now surround and permeate America.
Meanwhile there is no need for fear. Someone has wisely said, "Christianity is designed to be lived in difficult places." No matter how hard it gets, He offers shelter to all who trust Him and follow His wisdom.

A. Philip Randolph, in full Asa Philip Randolph, (born April 15, 1889, Crescent City, Fla., U.S.—died May 16, 1979, New York, N.Y.), trade unionist and civil-rights leader who was a dedicated and persistent leader in the struggle for justice and parity for the black American community.
The son of a Methodist minister, Randolph moved to the Harlem district of New York City in 1911. He attended City College at night and, with Chandler Owen, founded (1912) an employment agency, attempting, through it, to organize black workers. In 1917, following the entry of the United States in World War I, the two men founded a magazine, The Messenger (after 1929, Black Worker), that called for more positions in the war industry and the armed forces for blacks. After the war, Randolph lectured at New York's Rand School of Social Science and ran unsuccessfully for offices on the Socialist Party ticket.
In 1925, as founding president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, Randolph began organizing that group of black workers and, at a time when half the affiliates of the American Federation of Labor (AFL) barred blacks from membership, took his union into the AFL. Despite opposition, he built the first successful black trade union; the brotherhood won its first major contract with the Pullman Company in 1937. The following year, Randolph removed his union from the AFL in protest against its failure to fight discrimination in its ranks and took the brotherhood into the newly formed Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). He then returned to the question of black employment in the federal government and in industries with federal contracts. He warned President Franklin D. Roosevelt that he would lead thousands of blacks in a protest march on Washington, D.C.; Roosevelt, on June 25, 1941, issued Executive Order 8802, barring discrimination in defense industries and federal bureaus and creating the Fair Employment Practices Committee. After World War II, Randolph founded the League for Nonviolent Civil Disobedience Against Military Segregation, resulting in the issue by President Harry S. Truman on July 26, 1948, of Executive Order 9981, banning segregation in the armed forces.
When the AFL merged with the CIO in 1955, Randolph was made a vice president and member of the executive council of the combined organization. He was the first president (1960–66) of the Negro American Labor Council, formed by Randolph and others to fight discrimination within the AFL-CIO.
In an echo of his activities of 1941, Randolph was a director of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, which brought more than 200,000 persons to the capital on Aug. 28, 1963, to demonstrate support for civil-rights policies for blacks. Two years later, he formed the A. Philip Randolph Institute for community leaders to study the causes of poverty. Suffering chronic illness, he resigned his presidency of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in 1968 and retired from public life.

Is there justice for people with fetal alcohol brain damage?
Newton Henderson, 26, has been locked up at the Stillwater state prison, east of the Twin Cities, nearly half his life. He walks into a small conference room clad in a white t-shirt and baggy prison pants.
Henderson bounced around as a kid and lived in several states. He grew up in a violent household where alcohol abuse was common. He was living on the street by age 13. In October 1997, when he was just 15 years old, Henderson found himself in serious trouble.
"I couldn't get anybody to give me a ride, so I went and I hitched a ride. And I ended up kidnapping and sexually assaulting a female and robbed them," says Henderson. "That same night I got caught, and I've been in prison ever since."
Henderson is from a big family -- he has seven brothers and sisters. The youngest four have been diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome. Henderson has not been diagnosed, but his behavior is similar to his younger siblings. He's impulsive, and can be short-tempered.
Like people with fetal alcohol exposure, Henderson says he has trouble remembering and keeping track of more than a few things at a time.
"I've never been someone who can take instruction very well. I'm always thinking about other things," says Henderson. "Even though I'm doing this, I'm thinking about this, and before I even get to that, I'm thinking about something else. Unless I physically do it, it's probably not going to stick the first time, the first couple of times."
Henderson says he isn't crazy about the idea of being labeled with a fetal alcohol disorder. But he says he'd like to know, because at least it would help explain why his life has gone the way it has.
"I don't know whether or not I was a victim of fetal alcohol syndrome or not. It's obviously an option because it's affected so many of my brothers and sisters," he says. "But what I can say for sure is that it's obviously having a big impact on all our lives right now."
No one can say how many of the country's more than two million prison inmates are affected by fetal alcohol disorders. Minnesota and most other states don't screen inmates for the disorder. Some experts believe the number could be high, maybe as many as one in four. But there's no real data to back that up, since no studies have been done.
Henderson gets out of prison in two years. He's not sure if he'll try to get tested for fetal alcohol exposure. But there's a bright spot in his future. The 26-year-old is being adopted by a family from Isanti, Minnesota -- Mike and Linda Walinski. They are the same couple who adopted Newton's four fetal alcohol-affected siblings.
Linda Walinski says based on what she knows about Henderson and his family history, she believes the young man was likely exposed to alcohol while still in the womb. She thinks prison has done him a lot of good.
"He says, 'These have been the best years of my life. If it wasn't for this, I'd be dead,'" says Walinski. "He got to get his GED there. He is nourished there. He gets exercise there. There's clothing, there's warm shelter, sobriety. That's what they need is order, structure, routine, etc. Clearly, Newton is soaring."
Walinski says when she first contacted Newton in prison almost a decade ago, he had no connection with anyone on the outside. No one had visited him. No one cared about him. Walinski says her family will provide the support he needs to succeed when he gets out of prison.
"He's had a really long time to practice the skills of not getting in trouble, not antagonizing people, following the rules," says Walinski. "It's believed that in individuals with fetal alcohol, that repetition, repetition, repetition, millions of times, is what does help with learning."
Alcohol-exposed children often have lives filled with turmoil early on. Most end up in foster care. Studies show nearly three-quarters of them are either physically or sexually abused. Sixty percent get suspended, expelled or drop out of school.
One study at the University of Washington found that 60 percent of adolescents and adults with fetal alcohol syndrome get in trouble with the law. Ann Streissguth is professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Washington and was involved in the study.
"How could anyone be normal who had that kind of a background, on top of being brain-damaged?" Streissguth says.
Streissguth was part of the team that first identified fetal alcohol syndrome, or FAS, in 1973. She spent most of her career studying people affected by the disorders. Streissguth says there are some typical behavior patterns for these people.
Because of the physical damage from prenatal alcohol exposure, the thinking part of their brain doesn't work right. People with the disorder get in trouble because their brain can't process cause and effect.
That means they're unable to make good judgments. They often exhibit explosive behavior. Streissguth says they may commit crimes to impress their friends.
"These patients are often very gullible and very eager to be liked by their peers," says Streissguth. "They are very conspicuous scapegoats for all of the smarter criminals that are around. So they're the one that are going to be caught with the stolen goods. They're the ones that people are going to say, 'Oh, he's the one that pulled the trigger. We were just there.' And it happens over and over again."
Streissguth says people with FAS may run from authorities for no reason. They're unlikely to understand their legal rights. They may even admit to crimes they didn't commit.
Once they enter the court system, people with fetal alcohol damage are often confused by the proceedings. They sometimes don't show remorse and may come across looking guilty. They often aren't given a break because judges don't understand the disorder.
Also, Streissguth says national estimates suggest the vast majority of people affected by prenatal alcohol exposure have never been diagnosed.
"I think it's a foregone conclusion that mainly judges do not know that they are dealing with a person who has a fetal alcohol birth defect at the time they are dealing with them," Streissguth says. "If the defense lawyer assumes that they're competent and functional, then he won't necessarily pursue this. He'll assume the guy was thinking with a full stack of brains when he committed whatever he did."
When court officials don't fully understand the symptoms of fetal alcohol brain damage, offenders are treated just like everyone else.
That's what happened with 11-year-old Hunter. Because he's a juvenile, we will not use his last name.
One October day in 2006, Hunter and his younger brother went outside to play. It's not really clear how it started or who had the idea -- but the two boys broke into a neighbor's house and shattered everything -- windows, dishes, mirrors, knick-knacks and a big screen TV.
Hunter spent two weeks in a mental health treatment facility because when he admitted what he'd done to police, he showed no guilt or remorse.
"Still to this day, it's tough to try and get the reaction out of him that you want," says Kim, Hunter's adoptive mother. "He knows right from wrong, but he's very impulsive. The cause and effect, he just doesn't -- it's there one second. That's about how long it is there. Then it's gone, on to the next thing."
Hunter says he went a little crazy that October day. His parents say it was his fetal alcohol syndrome, coupled with a new medication, that led to the vandalism.
Darren, Hunter's father, says they noticed Hunter having mood swings on the new medication.
"We're not going to say for sure -- we knew it wasn't working and we had an appointment set," says Darren. "I just wish that appointment would have been a week before this happened."
People with FAS may run from authorities for no reason. They're unlikely to understand their legal rights. They sometimes don't show remorse and may come across looking guilty.
Hunter did change his medication and his moods are more controlled now. He went to court and his parents decided to plead guilty to avoid any costly jury trial. They just wanted to be done and move on.
The judge put Hunter on probation, and ordered him to pay $45,000 in damages when he becomes an adult.
"It stays on his record for 10 years," Kim says. "But the insurance company can reopen it and it can stay on his record forever. He can start out his life not being able to have anything."
Kim and Darren don't tell many people Hunter has FAS, because they don't believe anyone will understand it.
"It's not an excuse, is it Hunter?" Kim asks her son. "We try and tell Hunter, 'Who has control of you?'"
"I do," Hunter answers.
Hunter sits at the family kitchen table and listens. He speaks softly and gives only one or two-word answers. He often puts his hands in his head and rocks back and forth, a sign he is frustrated.
"When you get frustrated, Hunter, what does it feel like?" asks Kim.
"It feels like I'm going to explode and I can't do anything," Hunter replies.
There are no national guidelines for how people with fetal alcohol damage should be handled in the justice system. There's been little federal funding available to study the impact. But there are some efforts inside the courts to help identify people affected by the disorder.
In 2006, Hennepin County's juvenile justice system got a federal grant to begin screening young offenders for fetal alcohol damage. The goal was to get kids diagnosed, set up support for their families and educate people in the courts.
Susan Carlson is a court referee in the county's juvenile court division. She says of the more than 600 young offenders who were screened, 16 percent were diagnosed with fetal alcohol exposure.
"A lot of these youth would never have gotten a diagnosis without this program," said Carlson.
Susan Carlson is the wife of former Minnesota Gov. Arne Carlson. During his administration, she led a statewide task force on the affects of fetal alcohol exposure. She founded and is currently president of the Minnesota Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
Carlson says repeat juvenile offenders in the state are often sent to detention centers, which is a form of punishment that doesn't work well for people with fetal alcohol damage. Carlson says they're better served in specialized programs that are highly structured and supervised.
"I think we can get them out of the system, and that should be our goal," says Carlson. "It shouldn't be just to punish for something they probably wouldn't even understand why they were being punished anyway."
Carlson describes one young offender who'd been unsuccessful in five or six different placements. He was screened and diagnosed with partial FAS through the Hennepin County program. He was then placed in a Duluth group home that specializes in FAS care.
Carlson says the young man thrived. He earned a GED, held several jobs, and eventually joined the Army.
"I ran into the boy's probation officer a couple of weeks ago," says Carlson. "He was a non-believer when we started this whole process. And he was just beaming about this child, because he said the boy appeared to be headed for the correctional system. Now he's thriving. The probation officer said the young man was his most difficult kid."
The problem, Carlson says, is that there aren't many options for placement of offenders with fetal alcohol brain damage. There are only a few group homes that specialize in FAS. Some homes even refuse to take kids diagnosed with the disorder.
There are efforts in a number of states to educate police officers, court service staff, defense attorneys and judges to recognize and understand FAS and determine how to get proper help for offenders.
Mary Rogers is a researcher at Black Hills State University in South Dakota. Rogers has spent the past two years training people in the criminal justice system about how to recognize young FAS offenders.
Rogers says the justice system needs to work with other agencies to design probation or detention programs to help these kids.
Rogers says systems also need to be developed to figure out what works best for people with fetal alcohol brain damage, so they don't continue to offend over and over.
"What many people have told us over the years is that they have implemented strategies, but they have no information that shows and documents the case history -- how did this change this person's life?" said Rogers. "Were they able to change as far as their behaviors? Were they becoming more academically proficient? Nobody tracks that."
Even if judges do understand the disorder, many feel their hands are tied. They can't, for example, let a kid go who busts up a house. They have to follow sentencing guidelines.
There are two judges in South Dakota who try to tailor their orders so it's easier on the alcohol-exposed offender. One is Judge Janine Kern, who's based in Rapid City. She makes her conditions of probation a little simpler and easier to understand and follow.
Fetal alcohol syndrome is not listed as a federally recognized disability. That means states and local agencies aren't required to provide programs and services. Judge Kern says that doesn't leave her with many options. She wants policymakers to start talking about FAS as a disability.
"This is a 100 percent preventable defect," says Kern. "We need a strong prevention campaign, then we need the ability to assess those adults and children that are within the system that have it. That'll take funding. Then we need the services within the community, once we have the evaluation, to help people thrive and be successful."
Circuit Court Judge Pat Riepel, based in Sioux Falls, agrees with Kern. But she stresses sometimes she doesn't have a choice, because she still has to make a ruling based on law. Sometimes, she says, that involves separating families.
"Sometimes I have to take them from their parents just for their own safety, because they can't make good choices to keep themselves safe," says Riepel. "The parents have tried everything -- electronic monitoring, all types of house arrests -- and that doesn't work. My problem is, what do I do to keep them safe?"
Riepel says removing kids from their homes happens only after other methods have failed. Her choice is a residential treatment facility or placement with the Department of Corrections.
But once alcohol-exposed offenders become inmates, they are handled as criminals, not as people with a brain disorder.

What if I'm over the age limit, can I still come?

Bring your friendly personality and a positive attitude to the event. Since you will be at your own dating area, you won't be chatting with your friend anyway so you should come alone. Plus, if a guy or girl sees you too cozy with a friend, they now need to decide if they should pick you or your friend and you might miss out on more mutual matches. Be positive when it comes to dating and you'll find your match soon.

Erró is an Icelandic artist born in 1932.
He studied painting at the Fine Arts School in Reykjavik and Oslo from 1949 to 1952, then mosaic at the Fine Arts School in Florence in 1955. In these schools, he initially specialized in the technique of paper cuts before focusing on mosaic. He moved to Paris in 1958 and met artists who were part of the Surrealist movement.
In the world of comics, Erró brought together cartoon characters and historical despots. He constantly gleans visuals in newspapers, advertising, or illustration, in order to make up his collages these include cultural samples from all the countries he visited. In this manner, comics and Chinese propaganda can and are on the same level.
He is able to create a visual impact, mixing both the temporal aspect and boundaries. Seeing a Walt Disney hero next to a dictator isn't surprising. He is committed through his works and tackles politicals at full throttle. In order to denounce and criticize the events, he plays around with humor and derision. Totalitarian regimes, consumerism and the Iraq war are his main weapons in the artistic struggle.
Before, he was used to working in cycles, his collages move from one universe to the other, creating large gaps, going from a series of eroticism to a second one, pertaining to space conquest. In his work
« Méca-Make-Up » Erró extracts faces of models from the press and then assembles them with mechanical materials which belong to cars or cameras.
His works are present in museums throughout the world and are used as references for narrative figuration and collages.

A word of advice. Never use the phrase "just a burger" with Nancy Silverton. I did and was promptly challenged on every aspect of burger-making, starting with where to buy the meat, what grind, size of patty, how to cook it, what to serve with it, what pickle, what bun, what ketchup, what mayonnaise, what mustard, what cheese, how thick to slice the avocado, what bacon, what smoke on the bacon, what occasion.
The co-founder of Campanile restaurant and La Brea Bakery may be famous for more sophisticated food, but to her, the burger is one of the great American dishes, and exactly the thing that she likes to give friends for an end-of-summer barbecue. To prove it, she immediately threw a party.
I was the guest taking notes.
When we arrived midday, the fire was going in her barbecue pit. It was made from almond wood, lighted at 8 that morning to give it time to form its own charcoal. The hamburger toppings were already prepared, the buns sliced. The world famous chef was in her element. "I've always loved hamburgers," she cried, "back to the day I ate them at Denny's well done."
Over the years, the way that she made burgers changed in step with her taste in restaurants. "If I like a burger, I always ask how they make it," she said. She learned about meat by asking what they ground at the Union Square Cafe in New York, and at Zuni in San Francisco. From Taylor's Refreshers in St. Helena, she learned the importance of the right bun.
It has to be a classic, soft hamburger bun, she said, not sourdough, rustic roll or, perish the thought, pita bread. The important thing is the proportion of burger to bun. "It should be 50-50," she said, just right for absorbing juice and toppings.
Accept no substitutes
Silverton is a speedy, teach-as-she-cooks type. "The beauty of the burger for parties at home is choice," she said as she began splitting pickles. "Everybody gets to personalize their burger. Everyone gets to participate."
The toppings should be traditional, not wacky or fancy. "I'm not a foie gras-on-burger person," she said. But given the chance, she will go the extra mile to get deli pickles from Gus's in New York.
To her mind, every traditional topping must be represented, and the shopper should accept no substitutes. "Ketchup should be Heinz. Mayonnaise should be Best Foods in the West, Hellmann's in the East." The mayonnaise she likes to serve three ways: plain, souped up with chiles and another with garlic and tapenade. The recipes are part of her upcoming Knopf book in praise of cooking from cans, "Twist of the Wrist."
There should also be Tuscan Pepperoncini (she likes Mezzetta brand) and two types of mustard, both Dijon, one whole grain, one smooth. The lettuce must be iceberg, one crisp cupped leaf per burger. Sliced red onion -- one full slice per person. (Silverton salts and peppers the onions.)
Tomatoes: Right now, there should be thick slices of bun-size heirloom tomatoes. Brandywines, Russians, Beefsteak. There should be avocados, bought a week early to control the ripening. These should be sliced thickly, or they will turn to mush: in quarters or, at the smallest, in sixths. A light dressing of lemon will help prevent them from browning in the dish, but too much lemon will make them taste citric, so she recommends tossing in some chives to disguise inevitable blemishing.
There should be bacon (applewood-smoked), cooked short of crispness so it doesn't shatter in the mouth. Because people will pilfer from the toppings, you should cook two strips per guest.
No point in spoiling good meat with bad cheese. There should be a choice of three cheeses, she said: blue, cheddar and Gruyere. She had Point Reyes blue, Grafton cheddar and cave-aged Gruyere. Nicolas Beckman, who oversees the cheese counter at La Brea Bakery shop, also recommends Fiscalini or Straus cheddar.
"The blue and cheddar should be crumbled," said Silverton, holding out dishes brimming with broken cheese, "so they can be sprinkled on. That way you get to watch it melt. The Gruyere, this has to be served in slices."
And so to the meat. The morning of her burger party, Silverton sent me to her butcher, Huntington Meats at the Los Angeles Farmers Market. As I read from the order that she prepared, I asked for whole prime chuck, which already has 10% to 15% fat, to be ground with 13% sirloin fat added by weight.
The butcher smiled. "Nancy Silverton sent you, didn't she?" he asked.
It turned out that Huntington's lean mix has 5% fat, its standard mix 10% to 15%, but what they fondly called "Nancy's blend" has more like 20% to 28%.
"That's what gives the flavor," said the butcher. "Coarse ground, right?"
The difference, not just in flavor but also in texture, and pure out-of-this-world pleasure, would only become clear when I got the meat back to Silverton.
The patty, just so
Back at Silverton's house, the guests had arrived and she stood half swathed in an apron, ready to make patties. "For four people, you can just divide it," she said taking the bag. "For more, you want to measure the meat." We were 12, so she began taking small amounts of meat and setting them on a scale. "The perfect size is eight ounces," she said. Forming the burgers in a quick, light, slapping motion, she made them thick, nearly 2 inches high, so they wouldn't overcook, with rounded edges.
"With lean meat, the burgers don't hold together," she said. "Fat makes them easier to form. Feel this," she said, suddenly pressing a wad of raw ground beef in my palm. "It comes right together but you don't have a palm full of greasiness."
Aha. That is why the butcher expected she would want the fat and meat coarse ground. A fine ground would produce a smeary mess.
Second only to her fearlessness with fat proved her use of salt. As she formed burgers, she seasoned them, first going over them with a generous shower of kosher salt, about one-fourth teaspoon per burger, then passing again with six to eight turns each with a pepper grinder. Same treatment each side.
She uses the kosher salt because of the texture, Silverton said. "It handles well in the fingertips." She doesn't need a shaker and has more control. "It's important to do this only just before cooking them," she added, still salting. "Otherwise the salt will draw the moisture out of the meat."
Once she was ready to cook, only the cheeses and buns left the condiment table as she took up position over the barbecue. Every chef has an inner drill sergeant, and the better the chef, the less inhibited he or she is. In fact, Silverton might have two of them. She asked us to call our desired doneness-levels and cheese choices as she began cooking. As a tribe, we were medium-rare, Gruyere, but a sophisticate among us requested "trois fromages."
Even working over a hot open grill, as a sharp sizzle rose, Silverton seemed to come alive. "That's the sound you want," she said. A hot grill or a hot pan is crucial. Otherwise, low heat will require longer time in the pan, resulting in an overcooked burger.
For the barbecue chef working the fire, she added, the most important accouterments weren't a hat or apron, but a long-handled spatula and tongs, and long gloves.
Like a true cook, she knew the signs of doneness without tearing open the burger. "It's time to flip them when they don't stick," she said. Then, as soon as she flipped a half-done burger, she gave it a final touch of salt, this time sea salt, and cheese. In our case, Gruyere. "I love watching it dribble down the sides," she said.
A word about what she does not do. Unlike just about every other burger chef in the country, Silverton never, ever presses down on a burger with the spatula to force out the juices. Rather, as the burgers cooked, she toasted the oiled buns, handing them off to guests so they could begin personalizing. Toppings were more bottom-ings here. The burger came last.
Everyone seemed to want a little of everything: lettuce, avocado, bacon, tomato, onion, peppers, pickle. Option paralysis only seemed to set in over the mayonnaises. Here the Gruyere tribe split evenly among garlic, tapenade and chili.
Watching Silverton's youngest son, Oliver, made it clear why burger buns must be soft. As he took his towering burger to the table, before sitting down, he leaned over and squashed the burger with just enough weight to compress it into a bite-able state. It was as liberating as seeing the Queen Mother eat a quail with her hands. The world was now allowed to follow suit.
Biting into my first Silverton burger was a revelation. There wasn't a hint of fattiness about it, just moistness and a swelling chorus of flavors. Out of curiosity, I tried the burger of a little girl who wanted her burger well done. It was moist too.
After joy, shame. I had always thought inviting someone for "just a burger" was reassuring. Guests could buy beer instead of wine, bring kids, even dogs. I realize now that I meant I was going to give them an indifferent meal because I was feeling sentimental and lazy. Had I known the difference a little bit of care makes, my friends still could have brought beer, their kids and dogs, but we would have had what Silverton has convinced me may be the true American delicacy.

DOJ: Wis must do more for disabled students
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The U.S. Department of Justice says the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction must do more to assist disabled students participating in the school voucher program.
The American Civil Liberties Union on Thursday released the DOJ letter which had been sent to the state on April 9. The letter is in response to a complaint filed in 2011 by the ACLU and other advocacy groups saying the voucher program in Milwaukee discriminated against disabled students.
The DOJ says in the letter that the state "must do more to enforce the federal statutory and regulatory requirements that govern the treatment of students with disabilities who participate in the school choice program.
A DPI spokesman says the DOJ letter is being reviewed.

In an interview conducted for a journalist's PhD thesis, Germany's longest-serving postwar chancellor said that he would have lost any popular vote on the euro by an overwhelming majority.
"I knew that I could never win a referendum in Germany," he said. "We would have lost a referendum on the introduction of the euro. That's quite clear. I would have lost and by seven to three."
The interview was conducted by Jens Peter Paul, a German journalist in 2002, the year when the Deutsche Mark was replaced by euro notes and coins, but has only been published now.
In it, Mr Kohl describes adopting the euro as an emblem of the European project, which he said had prevented war on the continent. Born in 1930, Mr Kohl's politics were shaped by his country's history in the 1930s and 1940s; his final years in power were focused on promoting European unity.

Dear diary,
It's been sometime since my last entry.
Motor is now locked into place. Accessory drive kit installed picked this up brand new from GMPP for under 1k delivered including alternator, belt, tensioner, ps pump, brackets and air conditioning setup.
The kit is an american CTS-V style and doesn't fit quite as nicely as the commodore stuff (alternator clearance is super tight to chassis rail. All said and done though much cheaper, brand new gm parts and looks like it will do the job. The AC doesn't come close to fitting due to dipstick and rail clearance, I've seen relocation brackets that put it up near the drivers side head but still tossing up whether I want to bother running it at all.
I've also knocked up all the fuel system and tested it all for leaks. Ended up going 3/8 hard line and bent up similar to factory 5/16 steel. The rest of the setup consists of a walbro intank upgrade, nylon braided -6, under car surge, single 044 and a corvette style static pressure filter/regulator. This saves me running a return line which is good as I barely have room for the vapour line and the 3/8 around the headers.
Once i tested system for leaks (there were a few especially hard line 37 degree flare) I primed up the tanks, filled the motor up with oil and dummied up the wiring so I could make sure it was going to start once everything was in properly.
Straight off the headers & no coolant primed with oil and fuel here is the vid:
Next up I'm looking at coilovers for the front and adjustable rear suspension. To finish off I'm also looking at adjustable radius rod, few new bushes and maybe adjustable upper control arm if pinion angle is sad.
Wiring will also go in over the next few weeks then it's off to get an exhaust. Headers on drivers side are resting on the fuel and brake line so they'll need a bit of a heat and move job but nothing major then it's off for engineering!

Hey bro yep still got it, will hopefully get to drive it to my wedding on the weekend!
Here's a couple of sneaky preview pics

Oh how the years just slip away...
**Large post alert**
After losing a lot of love for this car, I went and got engaged to my mrs
Knowing that time was running out on random projects like this, i decided to make every effort to get it finished and drive it to my wedding.
The biggest problem with this goal was deciding that it would be a fantastic idea to do a proper split twin system exhaust. For old commodores, the fuel tank is in the way on drivers side and the spare wheel hump is blocking the passenger side.
This decision meant scrapping the already installed fuel system, sourcing a new custom tank or fuel cell and panel work to the boot floor.
Hoping it would be worth it, we set to work looking at how we could mount an under boot fuel tank with decent internal fuel surge protection whilst allowing twin exhaust clearance and using factory fuel filling point
After a few drafts and working with Josh from metalcraft (what a legend) we came up with this: Vid1 Vid2
Obviously this meant almost a complete reboot against a tough deadline (wedding!) everything started to slowly come together.
Josh also made us some hidden radiator overflow and wiper tanks:
Then off for some quick panel beating, the boys at Fusion Customs did a fantastic job replacing the boot floor and deleting the spare wheel hump:
Now there was enough room for Tim @Forged Automotive to weld up a sweet custom stainless twin 3" exhaust including x pipe and 4 mufflers:
Back to fusion for some beaver panel mods and the bumper was sent off for plastic welding then painted.
Had a good mate help us with the tidy wiring setup - 2x plugs hidden behind the engine will make for easy removal!
Some last minute issues led to panic and taking the week before the wedding off work running around as a parts mule for Tim @Forged Automotive.
Thankfully everything came good a day or two before and we cruised down to Nanga without a hitch (although well prepared for one!!)
And back home safe! Drove like a dream.

Great work Chris, love the attention to detail and custom work. Its been a long time in the build. whats the deal with getting rego for it now?
|03-06-17, 00:59
Gold Members
Cheers Ol,
Had a setback with rego, my original application expired and my resubmission was rejected :|
I tried not to let it worry me too much because I needed it finished for the wedding one way or another. I'll be looking for an engineer to check the car out and give their suggestions to the best approach moving forward.

All money spent was to make sure it would be legit including cats, all emissions gear, erod carb legal package so I'm not keen on removing it all because of an administrative issue. I did everything properly and build still meets VSB14 LA2 as far as I interpret it - as long as an engineer will sign it off. Just going to take my time and finally have this thing registered properly in WA.

So great news - Engineered and Registered
DoT were eventually good enough to honour the expired modification application and then the race was on to finish of the last bits and pieces to pass all of the engineering hurdles.

Awesome car. Great job. I like the blue colour. I painted an LX hatchback Torana a very similar colour to your VL. When I went to sell the Torana the 1st person that saw it loved it and it sold straight away. Have you got any interior shots of your Calais?
I remember wanting to have 2x VL SV88's as wedding cars as my uncle in law already had one so I was gonna do a replica in time for my wedding but the one I bought was a factory tuxedo black V8 VL Calais so I didn't want to change that colour. I still have the Calais but not that missus, we split before we got married. I got to keep the important things...in particular the Calais, Yaye, winning.

Roll back the clock to 1980 and Greater Houston looks quite a bit different.
Some of the tall buildings, meandering toll roads and shiny professional sports venues aren't there, of course, but of more significance is the absence of many places that Houstonians now call home.
As the metro area's population doubled over the past three decades, extensive developments and master-planned communities popped up or expanded to serve those with the means to buy spanking new homes on the suburban fringe.
As for those of little means -- many of them immigrants, legal and otherwise -- they increasingly crowded into older, low-income neighborhoods abandoned by residents who lost jobs or found better housing elsewhere.
The result, according to a new study released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center, is a dubious honor: Houston leads the way among the nation's 10 largest metropolitan areas when it comes to affluent folks living among others who are affluent, and poor living with poor. Pew said residential income segregation is increasing across the country and especially in Texas and the Southwest.
Of the nation's 30 top metro areas, San Antonio, Houston and Dallas command the medals podium in Pew's Residential Income Segregation Index. In Houston, the percentage of upper-income households in census tracts with a majority of upper-income households increased from 7 in 1980 to 24 in 2010. Likewise, low-income households in majority low-income tracts jumped from 25 to 37.
"The real challenge for the future of America is not a race divide but a class divide"
Income inequality
The Pew researchers stopped short of saying precisely why Texas' major cities lead what has become a national trend. Rapid growth has a lot to do with it, they said. But there are other causes they found of particular concern.
"These increases are related to the long-term rise in income inequality, which has led to a shrinkage in the share of neighborhoods across the United States that are predominantly middle class or mixed income," the report states.
That doesn't mean that most people are rich or poor, or dwell in either mansions or shacks. Three-quarters of Americans, the report finds, still live in neighborhoods where a majority of residents fall into the middle-income category. But the trend is otherwise, and it worries social scientists.
"The real challenge for the future of America is not a race divide but a class divide," said Stephen Klineberg, a Rice University sociologist who has spent much of the past 30 years tracking Houston's demographic and economic changes. "We are heading into a world of division not by ethnicity but by class. It is becoming increasingly rigidified. The more income inequality there is, the more the upper classes live in a different world and in a different reality than the poor kids or the middle-class kids."
After World War II, as the baby boom was beginning and U.S. manufacturing ruled the world, a much smaller percentage of Americans lived in places totally insulated by class, Klineberg said. Most kids went to public schools. Most of their parents had friends and neighbors with college degrees and with formal education that ended at high school. He considers that a good thing, but one that's disappearing.
"Those days of a rising tide that lifted all boats are gone," he said. "You used to have factory workers living next to college professors, and their incomes weren't that radically different. No more. The accelerating inequality is the fundamental political challenge of our time. The things that assured increased equality of Americans are now gone."
As the gap between the haves and have-nots began to spread, the desire to associate with those of dissimilar class dwindled. Klineberg referred to a Wall Street Journal story from a few years ago that described the tendency to want to be surrounded by "PLU" -- people like us.
'Master planned'
In rapidly growing cities of the Southwest where land on the edges of town was literally dirt cheap, developers came up with a template for success starting in the late 1970s and early '80s. Build homes catering to comfortably middle, upper middle and borderline affluent people who did not want the inconveniences of old urban living. "Master planned" became a pseudonym for uniform and nice. There were recreational fields, community centers and often golf courses.
Low-income housing advocate John Henneberger doesn't have anything against these suburban enclaves, some of which became fenced off and gated in more recent years, but he insists the corresponding concentration of low-income families in certain areas has bad long-term effects.
"There certainly are negative consequences if poor people are isolated and living only with other poor people," said Henneberger, co-founder of Texas Housers, an Austin-based advocacy group. "The money tends to go where more affluent people live, where the people are more politically engaged. Social capital is highly related to economic capital. Those isolated poor are going to be considerably disadvantaged."
