For many of us, Corvette race cars over the years have created much of the mystical attraction to America's only sportscar. The racing team with the longest winning streak in Corvette racing history is a huge part of this rich racing heritage. The V.V. Cooke Chevrolet SCCA racing team actually got its start with the meeting of V.V Cooke Jr. and the Barker brothers, Allan and Donald, in 1958. At the time, V.V. Jr. was competing in his personal '58 fuelie, while the Barkers were racing their Austin Healeys. To some Vette owners, an afternoon drive on a rural road with the sounds of a dual exhaust and the feel of a four-speed shifter in your hand is heaven on earth, while others, like the Barker brothers, had to prepare and take their Corvettes to the limit in competition.
The V.V. Cooke Chevrolet SCCA racing team officially commenced with the purchase and preparation of a '63 Z06 fuel-injected roadster with which they dominated the B-production class in 1969 and 1970. The next move for the team was the purchase and frame-off preparation of a '69 Corvette roadster for the '71 SCCA season, again for the B-production class. This '69 Corvette was a very rare special-order (only documented black/saddle interior L88 roadster still in existence) L88 roadster that was delivered by Williamson Chevrolet to the original owner, Doug Bergen in Marietta, Ohio.
This L88 was destined to race from the very beginning; the car's first outing was the 24 hours of Daytona in 1970. Unfortunately, the car did not finish the race. Next up was the 12 hours of Sebring where it placed second in the GT class in 1970, behind the famous Owens-Corning L88 car. Under the careful guidance of the Barker brothers, Donald, the chief mechanic, and Allan, the driver with sponsorship from V.V. Cooke Chevrolet, the SCCA B-production class was dominated by this race team for four years with 26 race wins in a row and four national championships from 1969 to 1972 with the '63 roadster and the '69.
The '69 car was then sold to Bill Jobe of Dallas, Texas, who continued the car's winning ways with two more B-production titles in 1973 and 1974.
In the late '70s, the L88 was sold to David Preston, who stored it in his front yard on a car trailer with only a car cover to protect it from the elements for almost two decades.
Kevin Mackay, an L88 expert from Valley Stream, New York, eventually found the car (still sitting in the front yard) and struck a deal with David in 1995 to purchase the car and the extra parts. Kevin carefully prepared the engine for starting after returning to his shop, and start it did, running just as well as it had over two decades prior. After much detailing, the race-winning Corvette was returned to its original appearance as it ran during the mid-'70s. The car still carried the original paint and interior. Father Time had taken its toll on the original decals, but help reapplying them was cheerfully supplied by the Barkers.
The next owner for this historical Corvette was Larry Bowman, who sent it to Legendary Motor Company for restoration and preparation for the '02 Monterey historic races at Laguna Seca raceway. After a thirty-two-year retirement from competition, Allan Barker was commissioned to drive the No. 80 Corvette once again. Donald was there overseeing the mechanical needs, creating a reunion of the race team and a rare opportunity to relive the past again at full speed!
Larry Bowman still owns the car today.
V.V. Cooke Chevrolet, The Sponsor
Recently, the interest in dealer involvement in the '60s performance market has reached an all-time high. Prominent dealers in the Midwest and northeast United States are now well known to the performance-oriented crowd, primarily due to the numerous articles that have documented their place in performance history. Across the country there were other dealers who also played roles in the horsepower wars. V.V. Cooke Chevrolet in Louisville, Kentucky, was one such dealer. High-performance cars and performance enhancements were daily activities in the sales and service departments for Chevelles, Chevy IIs, Corvairs, Corvettes, and Yenko-prepared cars as well.
With public interest in racing high, V.V. Cooke Chevrolet also sponsored another race team. Gerald Newman built and Roy Wathen drove a number of stock cars for eight years, beginning with a '62 Chevrolet 409-powered Belair. Next up was a '65 Impala, followed by the '69 Z/28 Camaro that was pictured on the cover of the Fairgrounds Motor Speedway program from Louisville, Kentucky. This team's winning ways led to four track championships locally, as well as wins in the ARCA series. One such win with the '65 Chevrolet was on October 1, 1967, at Louisville Downs, a one-half-mile horse track with a crushed limestone surface. The hundred-mile ARCA race was the first time Roy Wathen had ever driven on anything but asphalt! Gerald Newman by day was a very competent front-end mechanic at V.V. Cooke, retiring after 30 years with the company.

One of the questions I get asked the most is some version of "what do you think of crowdfunding?" I usually answer with some noncommittal answer about how it is going to be important, but no really knows how it will impact the trajectory and success of startup companies. After all, the notion of banding together through social media to fund the development of a prototype, documentary film or art project has been going on for many years now.
Adam Berk had a vision of creating an online library where neighbors could borrow tools and electronics from one another. Why buy a fancy camera you only needed to use once for a big trip? Why invest the money in physical tools for a home remodeling project if you are never going to need them again? Adam and his best friend Dave spent 5 years creating this utopian community, neighborrow, powered by a new form of currency. Their business model was to eventually white label the product and sell it to large apartment buildings and others who wanted to facilitate a borrowing community. But they never achieved their vision.
In a matter of weeks colleges and universities across the country will be teeming with students. A new school year will bring the excitement of new discovery, opportunities to meet new people, and the anticipation of learning. On these campuses students will also find a vast array of opportunities to explore entrepreneurship.
All it takes for a startup community to take root and thrive are the right seeds and soil. I recently saw this first hand in a seemingly off-the-beaten-path city – Telluride, Colo.
When considering the optimal number of founders for any new entrepreneurial adventure, the calculus extends well beyond simple formulas seemingly supported by observations of startup cohorts within specific industries. Famous technology twosomes that come to mind include David Packard and William Hewlett of Hewlett-Packard, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak of Apple, Paul Allen and Bill Gates of Microsoft, Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google. In these examples, it is widely observed that these buddy teams complemented each other well in the early formative years of their companies.
Last week we launched a brand new program for startup companies who had previously presented at 1 Million Cups, the Kauffman Foundation's weekly educational program that features two local startups presenting to the community over coffee. This new effort, launched with the folks at Dream Big America, will continue to put a spotlight on startup companies from throughout the country.
Academia is getting ever more aggressive about helping entrepreneurs get a running start. An emerging crown jewel could well be Stanford University's brand new StartX.
There is no shortage of well-educated people in academic environments. But the challenge is in turning the attention of those bright minds to entrepreneurship. Here are a few ideas on how to do it.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Instead of trotting out the cliché question, "Are games art?," an exhibit at the Electronic Entertainment Expo aims to explore the actual artwork from upcoming and recently announced video games.
Long gone are the pixellated abstracts of yesteryear: these are fully realized, gorgeous works of art in various styles, hung for all to see in the Los Angeles Convention Center, where the Expo takes place this week.
Developing today's graphics-rich video games –mobile, console, or PC — takes a lot of time, talent, and passion, and the images above show the kind of artistic energy that is put into them. From the painterly styles of artwork from Assassin's Creed Unity and Destiny to the poster illustration of The Banner Saga and Sunset Overdrive, there's a lot to like in the images above.

Theatre MSU's spring show "The Diviners" puts a new twist on how audiences will enjoy the performance, which will make for a new experience for patrons.
The show, which is set in a small, poor town in Indiana during the Depression, embodies a close-knit community, which prompted Director Donna Clevinger to expand on that sense of community.
Instead of utilizing the 447-capasity theater in McComas hall on campus, Clevinger is seating the audience right on stage with the performers.
"I wanted the intimacy of a shared space with the actors and audience because it is a very intimate play," Clevinger explained. "The action happens all over the community, so how exciting to have the audience right there in the action... I wanted the audience to see it from a perspective they would never see it in."
A set of four platforms will form a square on stage around the actors, which will seat roughly 100 patrons.
"The audience will serve as an extension of the community," actress Amanda Bobo said.
Audiences are also invited to stand and sit on stage for the full community effect, Clevinger added.
"It's just going to be a different kind of experience," Clevinger said. "[Audiences] will hopefully feel like they are in the home of Buddy (the lead character) or at the dry goods store or down at the river with the actors."
Clevinger explained that the arena setting of the show will also be an exciting experience for the actors as well.
"With any other show, the stage is ours, but with this show, since we are trying to embrace the community, they are sharing that space with us," actress Kelsey Brock said.
"It's different from regular theatre because typically, everything is really exaggerated in regular theatre, but now with the audience on stage with us, it's much more realistic," Wendy Morell added.
In addition to wanting audiences to feel apart of the theatre experience, Clevinger wanted patrons to see the real behind the scenes look of the McComas Hall theatre.
"We also wanted to bring attention to the facilities itself, which are in need of a little TLC," Clevinger said.
Clevinger hopes to bring appreciation to the theatre by having audiences see the raw equipment exposed during the performance. Just as the actors will be up close and personal exposing all flaws to the audience, the flaws of the theatre will not be hidden from view of the patrons. Clevinger explained it is theatre in its most real form.
The Diviners is a tale of a charismatic ex-preacher who drifts into Zion, Ind. He befriends Buddy, a mentally challenged boy with a grave fear of water. The two form a bond of trust that leads to the climax of the play. It is a heart-warming drama that hides itself within comedic timing, though it is a show not suitable for young children due to adult language and the close proximity to the actors.
The Diviners opens Thursday, Feb. 24 at 7:30 p.m. in the McComas Hall theatre on MSU's campus. It will continue to run Friday, Feb. 25 and Saturday, Feb. 26, with both performances at 7:30 p.m. in McComas Hall theatre. Student tickets are $5 and adult tickets are $10.
For more information, call 325-4034.

Although children with typhoid fever sometimes become sick suddenly, signs and symptoms are more likely to develop gradually — often appearing one to three weeks after exposure to the disease.
Once signs and symptoms do appear, you're likely to experience:
If you don't receive treatment for typhoid fever, you may enter a second stage during which you become very ill and experience:
By the third week, you may:
Life-threatening complications often develop at this time.
Improvement may come slowly during the fourth week. Your fever is likely to decrease gradually until your temperature returns to normal in another week to 10 days. But signs and symptoms can return up to two weeks after your fever has subsided.
See a doctor immediately if you suspect you have typhoid fever. If you become ill while traveling in a foreign country, call the U.S. Consulate for a list of doctors. Better yet, find out in advance about medical care in the areas you'll visit, and carry a list of the names, addresses and phone numbers of recommended doctors.
If you develop signs and symptoms after you return home, consider consulting a doctor who focuses on international travel medicine or infectious diseases. A specialist may be able to recognize and treat your illness more quickly than can a doctor who isn't trained in these areas.

New MacBook Pro updated with Retina display, more power
Apple has unveiled a new MacBook Pro, complete with Retina display, at its WWDC event today in San Francisco.
The next-gen laptop, known simply as the Macbook Pro as previously, houses the world's highest resolution notebook display with a 2880 x 1800 pixel resolution and a pixel density of 220ppi. The size of the screen measures 15.4-inches. Apple says we can expect glare to be reduced by 75 per cent, handy for these sunny days.
It's not just the display that looks slick. Measuring just 0.71-inches thick, the next-gen MacBook Pro is 25 per cent thinner than existing models, and is now roughly the thickness of your finger.
Under the bonnet we're looking at a quad-core 2.7GHz processor, 16GB of RAM and an Nvidia Kepler graphics card. Housed on the side of the device is an SD slot, HDMI connection, Thunderbolt, USB 2.0 and … drum roll - a USB 3.0 connector.
Apple is promising up to 7 hours of battery life and 30 days standby and best of all it is shipping from today with prices starting at £1799 for the 15-inch new MacBook Pro. There are plenty of options available for configuration, at various price points, with the 2.6GHz Core i7, 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD version costing you a cool £2299. Wow.
The new MacBook Pro will ship with OS X Lion, with a free update to Mountain Lion when it becomes available.
Do you like the sound and look of the new MacBook Pro? Let us know your thoughts.

Overhead cams are a more efficient method of actuating the valves than with a pushrod, but someone in Detroit never got the memo. And thank goodness they didn't. With production pushrod mills turning 7,000 rpm, NASCAR Sprint Cup engines pushing 9,500 rpm, and NHRA Pro Stock motors creeping closer to 11,000 rpm every day, breakthroughs in valvetrain technology have pushed OHV architecture far beyond what was ever imaginable. Furthermore, while street motors will never wind out as high as dedicated race motors, with today's high-flow cylinder heads, turning 7,500 rpm isn't out of the question. While durable valvesprings, and lightweight valves and retainers get much of the credit, these stratospheric rpms wouldn't be possible without commensurate progress in the rocker arm front.
Stuck between the opposing forces of a valvespring and a pushrod, and responsible for multiplying the motion from the cam lobe onto the valve stem, a rocker arm is one of the most highly stressed components in the entire valvetrain. Current trends such as steeper cam lobe profiles, stiffer valvesprings, and higher rpm only compound the stresses. To find out how engineers build rockers that survive these strenuous conditions, we took an in-depth look at the latest in rocker arm innovations with Chris Mays of Comp Cams and Brad Rounds of T&D Machine Products. Some of the things we discussed included the different aluminum and steel alloys used to manufacture rockers, the effects of weight on rocker performance, how to optimize valvetrain stability, and the benefits of a shaft-mount rocker. Needless to say, rocker arms are no longer simple pieces of stamped steel seesawing on a ball pivot.
Steel Or Aluminum?
Brad Rounds: "There is certainly a tradeoff in strength and durability between aluminum and steel rockers. The vast majority of rockers we manufacture are aluminum, but the NASCAR teams we work with demand the durability of steel. Generally, aluminum rockers are lighter, easier to manufacture, and provide a dampening effect on the valvetrain. However, all aluminum rockers have a finite cycle life. On the other hand, steel rockers are more durable and provide a slight increase in cycle life over aluminum. The tradeoff is that they're heavier, harder on other valvetrain components, and more difficult to manufacture. Although much of what T&D builds for top racing series like NASCAR Sprint Cup is proprietary, and therefore somewhat secret, it can be stated that there has been a strong exodus from aluminum to billet steel in rocker body construction. The reason is quite simple: A rocker arm must last through the high-rpm, fully orchestrated chaos that is now the NASCAR norm.
"Through years of development and testing, we found the absolute limit of aluminum rocker arms. Some of our customers wanted a rocker that had longer cycle life with higher ratios, and the answer was steel. For us, the progression to steel was actually a natural one. The initial customer for T&D steel rockers was Mercury Marine, a company that uses T&D as an OEM product on many of its offshore powerplants, even in non-race applications. Once the piece was engineered, it did not take long for others to ask for steel. The initial steel offerings were not just an aluminum design milled out of steel. They were designed as steel rockers from the ground up. The current NASCAR Cup rockers have evolved light-years from those initial attempts, not only in design but in material as well. Our proprietary manufacturing process ensures both strength and ductility for maximum reliability. Outside of NASCAR, steel rockers have become very common in blown and nitrous applications, tractor pullers, dirt late-models, and sprint cars."

It's been 20 years since "Star Trek: The Next Generation" aired its final episode on May 23, 1994. With two decades having passed since the show left the airwaves, take a look at where its stars are today.
Diana Muldaur played Dr. Katherine Pulaski for 20 episodes during the show's second season in 1988-89. The Pulaski character was created to replace Dr. Crusher after McFadden left the show. Her character proved unpopular with fans and she left the show after only one season. After leaving the show, she earned two Emmy nominations for her role as pushy and power-hungry lawyer Rosalind Shays on "L.A. Law" and made a few other TV appearances, including a "Perry Mason" movie, guest spots on "Matlock" and "Empty Nest" and some voice work on the early 1990s Fox Network animated show "Batman."


text: Hey guys I have been reading for a while but now I need some help. I have. 7 yr old lowes water softner that i bought new and added to my home. I had to install it In The lower level garage where there was a concrete floor. I have no basement. So I ran the plastic drain hose up into the ceiling and attached it to the closest thing i could find, my furnace condensate line that also goes into the septic, not outside like a normal condensate. . So I am noticing the salt discharge is starting to affect the furnace and I need to get it fixed fast. I could kick myself.. Live and learn. Anyway. How can i drain this softner with no floor drain available. I absolutely need a softner because of my well water and I have a rinnai tankless. They don't recommend it being installed without a softner.

Dragons can be mystical, enchanting, and wise, but we should never overlook their fierce nature. Many are the stories and legends of a powerful, dangerous dragon that needs to be avoided and/or appeased at all costs. To do otherwise might invoke its fiery rage and could doom the entire community. To resolve that perilous problem, the local villagers either send some sort of tribute or a hero to rid themselves of the beast. Hence, we have the legend of the dragon slayer but despite the danger associated with dragons, we continue to be spellbound by these mythical, magical creatures. They represent a fierce beauty that comes to life in fantasy novels and movies, and whenever they are depicted, the audience can't help but be impressed by their dangerous, majestic beauty.
You can bring that same detailed beauty into your garden with many of our dragon sculptures. The Mystic Dragon Avenger Statue shows the fierce side of the dragon with sharp details and a fanged snout. As it coils around its magic orb, this striking dragon somewhat resembles a gargoyle meant to protect your garden.
For a fierce and functional dragon, try Ranier, the Sculptural Dragon Rainspout. Put this unique garden statue at the end of a gutter and it will look as if the scaled beast is breathing fire every time it pours.

School Notes designate the official paper and lix the advertising rate at nol exceejing 7.'i cents a folio, and that in view of this provision and of the further fact that Freeport has two papers, it was only lair in his opinion to give each paper a chance to secure the appointment hy making bids. Jhi^ suggestion met with the approval of the Board and the nev»spapers were asked to submit rates at which they would do the official advertising and local publication for, at the next Board meeting. They did so. The Post was the lowest bidder and upon liallot be¬ ing taken, secured three out of live vote.s and was designated tbe village paper. The .Nassau County Review is in no position to complain. Ever since it was started many years ago. it has been the oliicial paper and ha I about of hII the village work. Here in Hemp¬ stead, each of the three papers in the village receives a part. The Inquirer has never been designated the village paper.

MadArno's LEGO Biped
14 comments:
- Jim German said...
From all the sparkles and such on the image, I'd guess it was a CG mockup.
- May 2, 2007, 3:31:00 AM
- Christopher R. Smith (Littlehorn) said...
Since this robot appears to be made of LEGO elements, which can be very heavy inhibiting the freedom of large structures and their movements, 'looks' may have been a goal in this design. This robot may have a few downsides in functionallity. I sent an email and will inform you folks of any reply. If MadArno does not reply here first.
- May 2, 2007, 3:33:00 AM
- 222Doc said...
wow. but until i see at least a video of it walking i think jim is right its cad. think about the programs it would need. with 2nxt boxs and every motor port would need a multiplexor. i thought mines was heavy. does look cool. hope to hear more on it
- May 2, 2007, 2:47:00 PM

Just for fun...I'll entertain the skepticism a little because I'm intrigued by the model somewhat. So, I want to analyze the photo here a bit because its fun. It's not the moon landing, but...
Having worked pretty extensively with various CAD and image rendering software over the years...I can say this does appear to be an actual element build photograph. Let me point the clues I'm seeing...
-The detail and focus of the over-all parts is something that CAD programs (even those rendered through POV-Ray) have problems detailing in such complete shots of large models.
-The feet are out of focus and the shadow cast is more natural than CAD renderings.
-The reflection on the front white panel (rightside of photo) is natural to an actual LEGO element.
-The wiring around the feet and under the arms is unnatural to CAD rendering using LSynth, etc.
-Pretty sparkles for "wow" added with Photoshop. The builder is proud of his or her work.
With all of this in mind...I doubt the control bricks are onboard, and I doubt it can move very well.
However, it is a very nice build even if it were rendered in CAD. It shows that this can be rendered with LEGO elements and is something that could be reduced to operate better if needed.

It's the same technology they used to stage the moon landing in 1969. Chris knows all about it, but he's not talking.
- May 3, 2007, 1:31:00 AM
- 222Doc said...
it reminds me of gibbous8(?)seen here a few months back, no one ever heard more on it, oe better yet a video. I know if i built a 22 motor biped that could walk you would see a video first. thinking about mechanics when i see a humanoid like lego robot it reminds me of issues i run into Form over Function in the end for it to work function takes 1st place or its not going to work. Form is a distant 2nd it always adds weight that is not going to help function.
im still in the "show me" camp, hey i was there when one of the apollo's launched. it sure looked like it was heading to the moon. well at least from the ground. ill never forget that rummble and sound. gave you goose bumps very impressive.

- Jim Kelly said...
There's also a walker/biped in the "NXT Black Book" that I posted about last month.
I built it - not easy because I only had about 6-7 photos to build from, but I finally managed to duplicate it... the downside - I couldn't get it to actually WALK!
I've tried to contact the author and see if a video exists, but no luck so far. If anyone knows the author or how to contact, please let me know. I did receive one potential email from an anonymous poster, but I never got a response.

"Houston, the Eagle has landed."
Well, at least more photos have been posted. By the looks of the wiring used, it is non-standard LEGO issue.
- May 3, 2007, 4:07:00 AM
- Jim Kelly said...
Looks real enough, but the proof will be in the video, right? ;)
Either way, it's an interesting design and reminds me of those 1950s style robots.
- May 3, 2007, 4:11:00 AM
- Christopher R. Smith (Littlehorn) said...
Sure...In the video. Those are not strings holding the Earth up. No more comments...please.
I bet it works. Quickness...low. It looks as heavy as Eric Sophie's Jamocklaquat which could walk, but it took a week to make a step.
- May 3, 2007, 4:27:00 AM
- MadArno said...
Thanks for your remarks.
Except for the coloured wires all elements
are original lego bricks.
At first i intended to connect the robot
with an extension cord to 9 RCX boxes.
However the cable prooved to be to heavy
because it consisted of 88 seperate wires.
At the moment i'm defining the functions
needed for an alternative custom build
control panel which will be build into
the backpack.
I started working on this robot about a
year ago, i think it will take at least
another 6 months to finish it.
The latest change to this model is the
placement of the arms, they where moved
a little forward for a better balance.
- May 3, 2007, 9:16:00 PM
- Christopher R. Smith (Littlehorn) said...
Madarno, can you give us a hint on how it moves? How long does it take to make a stride, turn, etc.?
- May 4, 2007, 12:55:00 AM
- 222Doc said...
very nice. the new pics show you have put a lot of work into the mechanicals. best of luck with this project and hope to see in it action as soon as its done.
- May 7, 2007, 7:51:00 AM

Here's a little movie,
it only shows a few motors.
More movies will follow...

Thanks guys. I was originally looking at a 770, but the 770 is so much more..almost double the price for maybe 20-30 fps on average more.. I don't normally play games maxed out, pretty high, but if i have to turn off one option or another its not a huge deal. I spend most of my time either coding or in photoshop, more of an occasional gamer.
@the_evn_show: The 20-40$ isn't a killer budget wise, I make enough that I could afford the 770 or even 780, but from a Performance/$ aspect, and the amount of time I spend playing games, the 760 is a better option, which is why I had gone with the 560ti originally back when the 500 series was out. I'd never run sli, but with games coming out with large textures like skyrim and possibly BF4, if the extra ram will help maybe give 10% more performance, then 20$ may be worth it. most of the 770 gtx's are around 399-419, almost 150$ more for 10-20 fps more...that's not that big of a value to me, since I am happy as long as i can get 30FPS+
Now if the 770 were ~ 330$, that'd be a different story, but for almost double the price, the value isn't there for the amount of gaming I do.

When the Biscayne was conceived in the late '50s, the notion of handling wasn't even an afterthought. People wanted big and powerful, never mind your face grease getting smeared all over the side glass on a swoopy turn. Besides, that entire trick chassis stuff was for European twinks, right?
When I bought this car in 1997, Global West maestro Doug Norrdin said he would prototype everything that he'd developed for A-bodies on the Biscayne and if I'd be willing to leave it with him for six months he'd have it shipshape. I politely declined, under the illusion that the car would be finished and I'd be burning rubber by then. It took another eight years before it got to that stage.
My impetuosity ruled. I lost. Norrdin helped by inserting his inflexible sandwich of Del-a-lum (a billet aluminum core covered by a machined sleeve of Delrin) at either side of the front upper control arms and putting a spherical link on the frame end of the lower control arms. Rather than using two attachment points at the frame, the '65-70 B-body lower control arms pivot on a single central locus. The front springs were unknown wire meant for a big-block application but with a coil hacked off the bottom to set the stance. Spring rate was anybody's guess.
For the rear, Metco offered billet aluminum lower control arms that were originally meant for an A-body, adjustable (for pinion angle) on the top side and followed by more QA1s. I attached a PST bar to the lower links la the factory. Eaton supplied 2-inch drop (282 lb-in) lowering springs. Later, one end of the stock Panhard bar (keeps the axle housing centered beneath the car) was threaded for adjustment.
On the smooth expanse of the interstate, on the 800-mile shot from Memphis to my central Florida driveway, the car behaved normally, but on uneven secondary roads, the steering was so sensitive it was downright ugly. It trammed. It pulled. It took concentration to keep the car on the path over rough patches. At first I thought it a conspiracy of the 9-inch-wide Fikse wheels, grabby Goodyears, improper alignment, and quick 12:1 steering ratio. I didn't discover until much later that the bar was actually riding against the frame (it passes through elongated oval openings), thus merrily steering the car quite independently of the driver.
Adhesion is good. Modern radial tires are so light-years better than the horrid bias-plies we used to suffer that they tend to turn an olden-day suspension into melted wax. The geometry, mainly caster angle, is all wrong. The object is to keep as much tread on the tarmac as possible at all times, and most modern performance road rubber has better tractive qualities than race tires used to have. To take full advantage of them requires a suspension system that responds in kind.
Norrdin emphasized that his B-body conversion is meant to remake the ride, handling, and steering for the street and not necessarily for autocross work. It's for a purely fun ride: You can look down that flight deck of a hood and remember how horribly the original contraption worked. Before I ripped the wheels off it during the last century, I had driven the stock configuration less than 30 miles.
The Global fix begins with CTA-50A upper control arms that incorporate different geometry than the factory arm. To complement, the lower CTA-50L units are fitted with a rotating polyurethane cushion that allows the spring to index in the frame as well as the lower arm. B-bodies used strut rods attached to the lower control arm and the frame. Global's ASR-50 adjustable strut rods eliminate fore-and-aft wheel movement (which directly changes the caster and toe) during braking, acceleration, and cornering and is accompanied by vague steering feedback.
At the rear, the TBC-51 upper control arm allows for the correct pinion angle without using shims. The spherical bearing on the frame side allows for the twisting action of the arm when the rear passes over bumps and as the body rolls. Companion to it, TBC-50 lower control arms provide smooth movement over bumps and reduce lift on the inside tire during cornering.

Carter is NOT Pepe's reason to assault andy. Pepe's reason for what he did is he 'knows' that 'people like andy' will not learn their lesson.
Yep and I personally don't have a problem with that - but then I have been on the receiving end of people like Andy.
Violence is the only language that Andy understands, so Pepe gives him some. Tough. Live by the sword, etc.

Inspiration of the Day: Cotton-Candy Lollipops
Late-night snacks (think brick-oven pizza food trucks or an ice cream sundae bar) are a must-have to keep the party going all night long, and Lynn Easton founder of Easton Events, is a big believer in them. So for a photo shoot in our magazine (see all the photos here), Lynn worked with Peter Callahan Catering to design these adorable mini-cotton candy sticks — proving that a carnival theme doesn't have to look cheesy. "While delicate and beautiful, they are also whimsical and fun for the guests to enjoy," says Lynn Easton, founder of Easton Events.

FORT IRWIN, CALIFORNIA – Iowa National Guard soldiers will face danger just about everywhere they go in Afghanistan.
Insurgents could shoot at them, throw grenades and even use bombs.
Before they face that kind of real danger, troops visited a simulated Afghan village at the National Training Center in Fort Irwin, California.
Smoke billowing into the air signals danger to nearby troops. Wounded U.S. soldiers cry out in agony.
"It's really intense," Staff Sergeant Chad Johnson, 28, of Shellrock said.
Afghans swarm the street as soldiers peer over rooftops. Enemies camouflage themselves as civilians. The smell of gunpowder and the sound of screaming villagers intensifies.
"Things can happen anywhere, anytime," Staff Sgt. Curtis Wee, 26, of Iowa City said.
Then, another explosion hits the town. An ambulance roars into town to carry away casualties. Paramedics cannot treat the terror, fear and tension that has filled this community.
"People were dropping right and left," Wee said.
Taliban members beat an injured U.S. soldier, toss him into a pick-up truck and drive off before anyone can come to the rescue. Moments later, a suicide bomber kills himself and everyone else in a café.
"There was a lot of commotion going on everywhere," Pvt. Tanner Williams, 19, of Tama, with C Company of the 1-133rd said.
Even though the bullets are blanks, the emotions soldiers feel when they get shot are real.
"I'm thinking in my mind, had this been real, there would be uniformed officers at my mother's house. Who wants to write that letter? So, it really brings it home," Wee said.
Every soldier's uniform has sensors on it. When enemy fire hits them, it makes a beep. It's like a high-tech game of laser tag.
Ertebat Shar is a simulated Afghan Village at the National Training Center designed to prepare troops for the worst day in Afghanistan.
"We try to give them a three-dimensional fight...from above and at the ground level," Sgt. 1st Class Sal Digaetano said.
Hollywood make-up artists make real amputees look like they just lost their legs. Special effects experts bring blasts to life. Actual Afghan people shout at soldiers using their native language of Pashtun.
"I think every soldier should go through this situation," Sgt. Anthony Martin, 28, said.
When the troops evacuate all the injured soldiers, the exercise ends, but memories of what happened there will remain with soldiers throughout their deployment and resurface anytime they enter a village in Afghanistan.
The military also hires a news crew to videotape the entire exercise. Later, soldiers watch that report and learn how mistakes they made could show up in the media.
