Our story begins in the lot of a Milford, New Hampshire, drive-in-not because the locale has some tie-in with Arthur Yancy's beautiful '69 Corvette, but because the surrounding area is picturesque, pleasant, and furnishes a decidedly out-of-the-ordinary backdrop for our photo shoot.
Yancy, patiently waiting in the rising heat as I snap away, begins filling me in on the details of what led him to find, and then create, such a vision of power. It's a story filled with twists, not unlike the ones played out thousands of times on the screen behind us. But perhaps the biggest twist of all is that this production didn't start with a Corvette.
Flash back to 1968. The hero of our tale is Yancy, at the time a schoolteacher and coach at Greater Lawrence Tech School, in Andover, Massachusetts. As in most stories, the villain makes his appearance early on-in this case, in the form of a spun rod bearing inside Yancy's '69 Ram Air IV GTO Judge.
"When I took my GTO in for some engine issues I was having, I saw a '69 Corvette on the showroom floor," Yancy tells us. The dealership owners were a little embarrassed about the superior scripting the producers at GM had cooked up for Chevy's plastic fantastic, as they felt it was making their other celebrities look like B-movie contenders. As a result, they were more than happy to strike up a contract to unite Yancy with his newly discovered costar.
Looking back, this Vette would easily have gotten a G rating during the early part of its career. Yancy was married, and the new Stingray became a family car. From grocery-getting to-you guessed it-drive-in movies, the '69 went everywhere the happy couple went. But it wasn't long before both Yancys wanted to recast the car so it would earn an R rating-in this case, R for "race."
"I started with side exhausts," Yancy reports. "The headers and side pipes were a single unit from Kustom Headers, Inc. They were the actual system used by the [road-racing] Corvettes, with the addition of slip-in mufflers. They were very unusual for the time, and no one knew what they were."
Further enlivened with a set of heads, 4.11 gears, and a few other minor upgrades, the Vette was finally beginning to resemble the big-screen hero Yancy had envisioned. Critical accolades soon followed. "I won my class at the Second Annual NHRA National Open at New England Dragway in 1972," says Yancy.
After shooting on location for a while, producer/director Yancy decided to throw out the script and insert a Hollywood-sized portion of action in trade for plot. His vision called for something he could drive to the track without a trailer, run without changing tires, and drive home afterwards without the rigmarole a lot of owners go through.
While a simple rebuild would have gotten him close to his goal, he opted instead to create a budget-busting blockbuster using an LS7 crate engine ordered from a local dealership. "The tag, which I still own, said 'off road use only'," says Yancy. Fortunately, his plans didn't include anything beyond going fast in a straight line, so he decided to install the engine regardless of the warning from the studio executives.
The supporting cast for the $968 (at the time) LS7 included an Edelbrock Tarantula intake manifold and 4.56 gears, creating what Yancy calls "a whole different animal. It was light years faster," he fondly recalls. "I got what I wanted. I could drive up, race, and drive home-all without slicks."
And race it he did. In one instance, he and a Vette-driving friend traveled to a Sea Coast Corvette track meet in August of 1974. However, due to a couple of problems encountered along the way, the pair arrived a little late. Fortunately, one of the officials let Yancy make a single pass anyway. "I didn't get a chance to dial it in or anything. [I] just pulled up and went." For his efforts, he walked away with the fastest time of the day-just one of the many trophies now sitting on his mantle.
With our story nearly complete, we turn to the item at least one cast member in any popular movie must have: a great body. The '69's physique developed in several stages, receiving its first batch of flares in '72. That job didn't hold up well, however, so in 1974 one of Yancy's students, Mark Gattinella, gave the fiberglass a nip-and-tuck to achieve a nearly from-the-factory appearance.
Around this time, another student Yancy remembers only as "The Glass Wizard" worked his magic on the Vette, etching the windows for a one-of-a-kind look. "That took a huge amount of trust on my part," Yancy says. "I asked him what would happen if it didn't work. He replied, 'You'll have to buy a new set of windows, Coach.'"
To everyone's relief, the job came out better than promised, and the etched windows have stayed on the car ever since. The front-fender venting came later, as did the front spoiler and headlights. The hood was the last addition to the growing list of extras, joining the cast in 2005.

NoQo has so far proved a apeciflo cure, invariably auooessfnl or ezolnsivoly acospted. Consumption appears to ho the worst enemy of man's health in this day, and it is probably increas¬ ing. It is these serious considera¬ tions that are nrging scientists to study more closely tbo pathology of tbe Inngs.

In Australia they are exploiting a whale cure for rheumatism, whioh is eaid to bo clleotive, though disagree¬ able. It waa discovered by a drnnkon man, relates the New York Press, who was staggering along the beach near the whaling station at Twofold^ Bay, and who, seeing a dead whalo cut open, took a header into tbe decomposing blubber. It took two hours for htm to work bis way ont, and he was tben not only sober, bat oared o( bia rheu¬ matism.

"I'm kind of curious to seu bow they'll mako out neighboring with Augusta Cbipoinn," said .Mrs. Mosely, witb anuthercbuckle. At that very moment tho Tbroop girls wore seated iu Miss Cliipmau's best room, iu whose dimnes.? their bright young faces shone out like stars. They wcro returning Miss Chip- man's formal cnll; which they had not cujoyod much. It had beeu a business call, any how, Phoebo said. Miss Chipman had iuforiued them that sbc i reeked with the o lor of keros had more apples nud jiotatoes thau she i CouUI use herself, anil thnt she could accommoduto them with those articles, over for —fur foiuolliing, nud we ut tbo market price.

I was terribly ashamed of it. "I know I'm a stingy, hard old wo¬ man." Miss Chipman declared, Bnt somehow, tbo Tbroop girls folt liko speaking rislit up nnd denying it. "I've got tho reputation, and I guess I deserve it. I've lived hero aloue so long that I've got warpod ond selfish and mean, aud I kuow it. ".\nd hero you've saved my house from burning.

I guess whnt I need is something young nnd bright nnd swett around me, to warm mo up. I hope we'll bo real good frieuds. I liko you, nu.l I want you to try to iiko me." And there wcro tears in Miss Chip- man's eyes. "There!" sho said. "Now, do you like |ilum proservea nud candied cher¬ ries aud fruit cake? Wo will have some, dears." "Well!" aaid Mrs. Moseley, somo weeks later, "ifl ever! I wouldn't have believed it. "I wou.lored, along to tho nrst.how Ihe Tbroop girls would got along with Miss Chipman. "Get along with her?

Try this for kicks. The next time you're surrounded by your gearhead buddies, ask them to explain the difference between horsepower and torque. The participants will immediately divide into "pro torque" and "pro horsepower" camps, and at the end of two hours—or two years—worth of arguing, all you'll have to show for it are a bunch of lame clichés.
Raging debates and a healthy discourse of divergent opinions is part of what makes building hot rods so much fun, but the key issue at hand here is the lack of knowledge or history per se. Few people seem to truly understand the difference between the two units of measurement, and those who do can be hard pressed to explain it in a way that most people can understand. Fortunately, we know some really smart dudes who have both the knowledge and ability to lay it all out in a palatable fashion. Our cast includes Jon Kaase of Jon Kaase Racing Engines, Judson Massingill of the School of Automotive Machinists, Scott Shafiroff of Shafiroff Racing Engines, and Harold Bettes of Power Technology Consultants. Depending on your preconceived biases, the truth might be difficult to accept, but the experts have spoken once and for all.
Horsepower Defined
Harold Bettes: An engine produces a twisting force at the flywheel, typically measured in lb-ft of torque. One lb-ft of torque is equivalent to the force of a 1-pound weight pulling down on a 1-foot-long lever. Horsepower, by definition, is torque times rpm divided by 5,252. In a running engine, you can't have torque without horsepower and horsepower without torque because they're interrelated. The horsepower formula was invented by Scottish engineer James Watt in the late 18th century to help him market his newly invented steam engine. Since his new invention was competing with horses, he had to come up with a way to relate the output of his steam engine to horses. The problem was that his engine produced a twisting force, or torque, while horses performed work. In other words, horses performed work and therefore made power, not torque. If he told potential buyers that his steam engine made more torque than their horses, no one would have known what he was talking about. Watt determined that the typical horse could pull 33,000 pounds of weight 1 foot in one minute, and he had to figure out a way to relate the rotary motion of his steam engine to the linear motion performed by horses. To do this, he divided 33,000 by 6.28, since the circular distance a 1-foot lever travels in one revolution of a crankshaft is equal to 2 pi. By dividing 33,000 by 6.28, Watt came up with the constant of 5,252 that's now used universally in the horsepower formula. Consequently, an engine that's producing 33,000 lb-ft of torque per minute—or 550 lb-ft of torque per second—is producing 1 hp, and the constant 5,252 is used to convert the rotational motion of a crankshaft into linear motion.
Force vs. Work
Judson Massingill: There is a distinct difference between force and work. You can push against a wall with incredible force, but if the wall doesn't move then you haven't performed any work. You may have worn yourself out, but you still haven't performed any work. The same applies to an engine. Torque is just a force, and horsepower is a unit of work that measures the rate at which torque is applied. That means that an engine that produces half as much torque as another engine needs to turn twice as many rpm to produce the same amount of horsepower. For instance, let's say I need a ditch dug on both sides of my desk. On one side I have Arnold Schwarzenegger with a big shovel, and on the other side I have a skinny guy with a small shovel. If Schwarzenegger throws out 3 cubic feet of dirt with each scoop, and the skinny guy takes out 11/2 cubic feet of dirt with each scoop but works twice as fast, they'll both dig a ditch the same depth in the same amount of time.

The Worst Debate Performance Ever, Really?
Twenty minutes into the debate between the president and his challenger last week, I sent a friend an email: "Romney is winning this thing." So I'm quite literally on the record as agreeing with the consensus view about the debate before I knew there was a consensus. Or rather, I should say that I did agree with the consensus—that Barack Obama didn't do well—as it existed so long ago (six days) that now it seems like the Dawn of Man. The current conclusion, to the extent I can keep up with it, is that it was the worst debate performance in the history of rhetoric. In a fashion typically frenzied when it comes to politics, the consensus has fed on itself and gotten worse by the moment, helped along in no small part by people who claim to be the president's partisans. Some of the most bitter language I've heard about Obama in five years has been muttered in the last five days by Obama supporters, who you would think might have ire left over for a Republican nominee as audacious as Governor Mitt Romney was in flatly denying what he's been campaigning on for months. Or perhaps they find offering any critique of this to be useless. In situations like this, conservatives get mad and progressives get hysterical. Seizing on the opportunity to attack the president from the left, the usually reliable New York Times columnist Bob Herbert seethed, "It's time to stop making excuses … LBJ could launch a war on poverty but not Barack Obama."
Can we get this Lyndon Johnson thing out of the way first? Because if I've heard it once, I've heard it 20 times from friends who think health-care reform, financial-regulatory reform, the salvation of the auto business, the aversion of a world-wide depression, equal pay for equal work, the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell," and the tracking of Osama bin Laden are pretty small potatoes: Johnson was a master; he understood power; he knew how to get things done. In lieu of nostalgia, here's some history. On the momentum of John Kennedy's martyrdom and then victory in 1964 over the most controversial Republican nominee of the century, Johnson got the Civil Rights Act and Great Society legislation through a Congress that, by 1965, included in the House the Democratic majority of Obama's dreams—295 seats—and 68 Democrats in the Senate (not just filibuster proof but veto-proof). And here's the good part: Three years later, Johnson's own party drove him from the White House. To paraphrase a long-ago vice presidential candidate: I knew LBJ. LBJ was a president of mine. And Bob? LBJ was no LBJ. Scathe away at Obama all you care to—surely he deserves some of it—but let's leave the rewriting of the past, in the form of irrelevant presidential comparisons, to those other guys a light year or two to the right of us. They're good at it. They've had practice.
As far as the Worst Debate Performance in the History of Mammalian Utterances (you see how much worse it's gotten just in the last three minutes?), I noticed something weird. See if you think it's weird, too. Almost no one is talking about what was actually said. This worst-debate-ever verdict isn't based on some goofy no-Soviet-domination-of-Eastern-Europe declaration by Obama or some pithy are-you-better-off-than-four-years-ago barb by Romney. Rather, if we could rewind the tape (well, we can), we would note that the verdict is impressionistic more than anything—a perception of the president's diffidence (he seemed infuriatingly bemused by it all), a contrast in the two men's energy levels, and Romney indisputably making himself an acceptable alternative to Obama, at least for the moment. But pulling rank and playing my own Dawn of Man card, as a personal witness I can promise that Ronald Reagan was worse in his first 1984 debate with Walter Mondale, when there were serious questions as to whether age had diminished the incumbent's mental capacity, and that George W. Bush was worse in his first 2004 debate with John Kerry, when the Texan's command of basic facts was a shambles. To the extent that any of the commentary about the first 2012 debate has been about its content at all, the attention centers on Romney's attack on Sesame Street and the Orwellian shapeshifting that has become so familiar we now give it no second thought. An hour into the debate, 40 minutes after realizing Romney was winning, it also occurred to me that in his crisp, impressive fashion he was potentially leaving himself vulnerable to an Obama campaign that ought to be running against not Romney the right-winger, which he's never been, but Romney the liar, which he's always been. If the American people don't figure that out, blaming it all on Obama just lets the rest of us, not to mention Mitt Romney, off the hook.

The worst debate overreaction, certainly. Not anywhere near the worst debate performance. The wailing and gnashing of teeth among whiny Democrats is truly of historic proportions -- those folks need to grow a pair and recognize that winning the last debate is far more important than winning the first one.
Tue, 2012-10-09 16:28
Ugh, about time someone caught on. Yes, did Romney win that first debate? Of course. But he did it with nothing but lies, and Obama had a firm enough grasp of the facts and policies that I feel he was able to defend his positions well enough that he by no means gave the worst performance ever. It's just sad to see the left self implode like this.

What if.......Obama simply let Mitt talk and talk and talk, so that his campaign could have material (Big Bird) for commercials and upcoming speaking events. What if that whole downplaying their debating skills thing before the debate actually extended into this debate? Is the president setting up Romney to tee off next debate? Watch this:
Tue, 2012-10-09 21:20
I'm inclined to believe that the President held back, knowing the full frontal attack he would be facing, and knowing based on history how much of an advantage he would be in to take his opponents own words to use against him. Is it a surprise 47% wasn't called out? Sure, but this wasn't the time or place. That talking point will be better served closer to election day.

I really dislike the word "win" in this presidential debate context because these debates are not high school/collegiate debates nor an Oxfordian one either. Romney outperform Obama essentially by bullying a pliant Jim Lehrer thus appearing assertive and "in command" while Obama appeared listless, lost and was often left unable to fire back a response because unlike Romney, he played by the rules. And as others mention, Romney lied throughout the event. But let's face Romney has made a career out of bullying and lying and it may yet earn him the Presidency. And it is that fear, because unlike the GOP the Democrats play the role of a loyal opposition all too well, that has many supporters of the President incensed at his performance and apparent lack of preparation because this is an election we can not afford to lose. To be frank until we see a more moderate GOP, we can not afford to lose the Presidency.

Most of this article is correct. However, it misses the point.
The point is that no one wants a President who can be pushed around like that. Right or wrong, we have a democracy, and that's the way it is. Obama should have realized that and prepped to deal with Mitt's attacks. The fact that he didn't is his mistake and no one else's.

Hello, my fellow American voters!
I watched the Oct. 3rd presidential and Oct. 11th vice-presidential debates.
Romney-Obama debate covered 7 topics: jobs; budget deficit/debt; social security/entitlements; federal regulation of economy; healthcare; federal government role in economy; partisan gridlock.
Ryan-Biden debate covered 10 topics: Libya; Iran; economy; medicare/social security/entitlements; taxes/tax reform/spending/budget cuts; military policy; Afghanistan; Syria; abortion; negative campaign tactics.
As an INDEPENDENT, I support the Romney/Ryan ticket.
Romney and Ryan won both debates.
Ryan won despite Biden's consistently rude/disrespectful behavior during the debate.
Biden's tactics to evade issues/truth were disrespectful to Americans interested in facts, figures, forecasts, and solutions for real people with real problems.
Biden interrupted Ryan often, laughed often while Ryan was talking, and pointed his finger often.
Romney and Ryan won with substance, integrity, respect, clarity, facts, commitment, inspiration, and leadership. But these debates are NOT about who wins but rather about who is the best person in terms of qualifications/character to lead our country to solve problems and make life better for all Americans.
I am inspired by Romney/Ryan, and I hope that you are too!
Best regards,
Cas Lee

A *default location* is generally the first place that an operating system (desktop or server) looks for things. It's no different in Hyper-V (or Windows Server 2K12) than in VirtualBox, VMware, Windows 8, or even Windows 7. This can be changed at VM-creation time (example - private VMs that you don't want shared at all); again, like any of the products I outlined above. That particular choice is because the default settings are for shared (public) VMs (hence that default location two levels down in the Public folder).
Hello folks,
I'm curious as to the reasoning behind a default setting in Hyper-V server. When you initially configure the role, it lists the location of virtual hard disks. The default location it gives you is c:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks.
This seems like a slightly weird choice to me. Why did they make that the default location? Does it have to do with shared access to VMs? What benefits does putting them there provide?
Posted 28 April 2012 - 02:01
Posted 05 December 2012 - 22:31
Thanks for the replies and info. The Public user folder still seems an odd location for any OS to use as its default location to me, but I can accept it i suppose. I'll probably move the location to the root of C instead for now, until I see a benefit in the default.
As for the performance of Hyper-V vs others in running an XP vm. I think it's rock solid. I've installed and used Hyper-V as a role on 2 different servers with very different hardware, and they both perform(ed) very well when accessing them from the local machine and remote machines as well.
I've also used vmware and virtualbox, and am a lot more familiar with them. But Hyper-V seems very configurable and straightforward.

Gian Maria Ricci
Visual Studio ALM
Gian Maria Ricci began his activity in the community in late 2005 , when he got more actively in touch with the Italian UgiDotNet community. Meeting so many other people who, like him, shared a passion for technology and for programming led him to start his first blog in Italian in 2006 which was later followed by another blog in English. Being part of a community gave him the opportunity to get acquainted with different ideas and ways of working which allowed him to broaden his views and to increase his knowledge. He established the DotNetMarche community along with other local enthusiasts during this same year. Through this community he helps to organize several events revolving around .NET and not .NET technologies.
Gian Maria has always worked as a consultant and teacher for everything that is linked to Windows environment development and, especially, .NET technology over the years. This allowed him to range from industrial desktop applications that interface with hardware to web applications that interface with social platforms, using SQL Server as well as NoSQL technologies like Mongo or Solr. Over time, his interest in an agile programming led him to be increasingly convinced that the success of a project is primarily based on it being properly managed. This is how, in 2007, he became very involved with Team Foundation Server, the Microsoft product dedicated to ALM management. This passion led him to attain his first MVP award for the Team System (later renamed Visual Studio ALM) area of expertise in 2009.
Being an MVP further strengthened his passion for communities and gave him the opportunity to be the speaker at several local and Italian events, where he led sessions on ALM topics. In 2013 he established the
online community together with his MVP friends Matteo Emili and Igor Antonacci. This community is fully dedicated to ALM issues and specifically to Team Foundation Server. Its main objective is to establish a hub for all of the ALM matters that are too often neglected in Italy.
Visual Studio Online's rebranding and the growing interest in Team Foundation Server have generated a greater need for the type of support that is offered by this community in order to share technical knowledge and to expand the pool of people with whom to share ideas and projects. 2014 therefore begins with an event organized by DomusDotNet which is entirely dedicated to ALM and that will take place in Rome. During the event, Gian Maria will talk about Git support to TFS and how to better manage Team Project with TFS . Other events will follow this one in the coming months, along with online articles that will be published on MSDN Italy regarding specific issues.
Gian Maria states that his first MVP Summit in Redmond WA, was definitely one of his best times as an MVP because it allowed him to meet the TFS and Visual Studio team as well as all of the other MVPs. Being able to talk and exchange ideas with people like him that have been working for many years in the industry, is an unparalleled opportunity for growth, especially because it allows to discover how ALM issues are viewed and evaluated by other countries and cultures.

The #Newtown Atrocity, Children and America's Priorities
Posted by KingShamus on December 15, 2012
By now, you know that monstrous evil has visited Newtown, Connecticut.
After killing his mother in her Newtown home, 20-year-old Adam Lanza drove her car to Sandy Hook Elementary, where officials said she taught, and gunned down 20 children and six adults before killing himself.
Most of the dead were found in two first-grade classrooms, police said.
Students described being ushered from their classrooms hand-in-hand, with their eyes closed, to the safety of a nearby fire station as police converged on the school. Anguished parents rushed to the scene.
State police sources told The Courant that Lanza had his brother Ryan Lanza's identification, which initially led to confusion about his identity, police said. He was dressed in black fatigues, police said.
His motives are unknown.
We may never know what made the shooter commit such a heinous crime. From our current information, we do know that he turned the gun on himself. The last act of a monstrous fiend, who murdered innocent children for some insane reason, was to take the coward's way out.
Sickly appropriate.
While the rest of America was still trying to sort through this heinous crime, the American progressive movement rushed to take advantage of a crisis. We've heard the Hollywood Left bleat out their usual cliched stupidity. David Frum and the rest of the news media vultures have thoroughly beclowned themselves. They're playing the same tired old gun control song and dance that they always do.
Why do these folks carry on like this? Because they're stupid. Gleefully stupid, in fact. The ever-present race for gun control can only be explained by the foolishness of the people making the argument. They're uninformed idiots who react to everything using their dopey emotion-rich logic-deficient ideology.
So let's not fall into their trap.
If we really want to do something to prevent gun violence at schools, ponder a glaring inconsistency in our society. The citizens of the United States are very comfortable hiring armed men and women to guard places like banks and credit unions. This is seen as a reasonable deterrent to thieves who try to steal our property.
So as a nation, we've made the decision to guard our money with armed security officers. Great. At the same time, when Americans send their children to school, what guards them? School secretaries. Video cameras. Metal detectors. Gun-Free zones.
In other words, nothing.
Parents routinely drop their children off at schools that cannot deal with a mad man determined to bring death on a large scale. They do this because we cannot imagine that this kind of isolated incident will happen in our communities. For whatever reason, Americans think that it can't happen to them.
Then a malignant human cancer comes along and violently shatters our delusions.
If this country really loves its kids, we'd better start protecting them at least as well as we protect our cash.

I can only imagine how terrible it must be for the parents to have to wait to hear if they children survived.
None of this matters to the fascists on the left or the propaganda wing in the media.
The next few days will be fun as cries of "ban guns" get louder and louder. Already Herr Bloomberg has joined the chorus.
And we have to put up with a few days of wall-to-wall coverage. Of what? We already know what happened. Stop glorifying these psychos.
The only winners will be the composers for the network news who get a change to compose new "sad, tragedy" music for the wall-to-wall coverage.
Oh, and the "grief counselors." They are the other winners. Grief counselors? Good lord.
December 15, 2012 at 4:44 pm
Did everyone see their "grief counselor" today?
Good god. These self-righteous "pity orgies" the left wants us to take part in get bigger and bigger every time.
