Understanding the properties, challenges and social consequences of touchless body-based interactions
Through our bodily relationship and actions with objects, places, and each other, we are able to express and create a rich variety of meaning. Gestures, movement trajectories, spatial positioning, and proximity are all means through which we communicate, interpret, and control our world. With the emergence of ever more sophisticated sensing techniques we are able to interact in new ways with the digital world without touch. These new mechanisms open up opportunities for exploring new genres of experiences and applications in a variety of new contexts where touch-based interactions alone may neither be possible, desirable, or as engaging. The important concerns for this theme are to understand the properties, challenges, and social consequences of touchless body-based interactions and how to design experiences with these mechanisms that achieve value and meaning for people in everyday contexts.
[Back to Socio-Digital Systems]
Research questions:
- How do we perceive and engage with touchless systems?
- What new genres of applications are afforded by touchless interactions?
- How are opportunities for touchless interaction made visible and interpretable to ourselves and others?
- How do we ensure intentionality in touchless interaction systems?
- What are the social and collaborative properties of body-based touchless interfaces?
- What are the appropriate ways to couple body-based interactions with the digital world?
Current Projects
Touchless Interaction in Surgical Settings
Surgery is increasingly reliant on medical imaging, but a surgeon's interaction with images is constrained by their need to maintain sterility. Re-scrubbing is time consuming, and instructing others to manipulate equipment interferes with a surgeon's interpretation of the images. Implementation challenges of this environment include concealment of the lower half of the surgeon's body by the patient table and supporting multiple configurations of users, equipment, and displays. We have developed a system for manipulating 3D volumetric vascular renderings. The system supports surgeons to: pan, zoom, mark, rotate, and fade the images – both one-handed and two handed. This work is funded by MS Connections in collaboration with Lancaster University, Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge, King's College London, and Guys and St Thomas' Hospital in London. For more information and papers please visit the Touchless Interaction in Medical Imaging pages.
Past Projects
Kinect in the Dark
This project explores a single quality of the Kinect IR sensor – that it works in the dark. Darkness is a context that invokes fear as well as imagination. That takes away the sense of sight to the benefit of one's other senses. Through this system a user discovers an invisible shape through sound feedback. The absence of visual distractions in the dark allows a user to become increasingly focused on their own movement and their spatial relationship to this virtual shape. A system that allows one to focus on the body (whether by being in the dark or by simply removing any peripheral devices like a display or controller) means that one is able to focus on the interaction in relation to their body as opposed to in relation to the outside world. When users were in the light they would look at their hands and look at reference points in the room. When they were in the dark, they let go of looking and instead felt where their hands are and thus where the shape was. This is interesting in relation to people stating that the Darkness was more natural. What is more natural is using proprioception as a feedback mechanism as opposed to visual cues. More information can be found in a recent CHI paper.
Qualities of Movement
What if not only what movement we do but also how we move could be picked up by a system in interaction with technology? We are exploring this in an interactive improvisational dance performance setting where audience members can influence the show through interacting with Kinect cameras, tweaked to pick up on movement qualities based on Laban Movement Analysis's category effort. The project is done in collaboration between researchers at Microsoft Research, Cambridge, a choreographer and faculty member at Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London, and professional modern dancers.
Gesture Based Interaction in the Home
As the Kinect sensor is being extended from gaming to other applications and contexts, we critically examine the use of gestural interaction in smart homes. Through an exploratory study of family experiences with Kinect in gaming, we discuss the character of the experience as one that revels in one not being able to control their body to satisfaction. Through this analysis, we liken the third space defined by Kinect-based gestural interaction to that of Bakhtin's Carnival and question the feasibility of that enchantment to other realms of home life.
Brain-Computer Interaction
With emerging opportunities for using Brain-Computer Interaction (BCI), there is a need to understand the opportunities and constraints of this interaction paradigm, in particular in the context of real work settings. The project draws on the philosophical traditions of embodied interaction, and points to the importance of considering bodily experiences in BCI and not simply what is going on in the head. What this highlights is that bodily actions are used to facilitate control of brain activity but also to make people's actions and intentions visible to, and interpretable by, others playing and watching the game. It is the public availability of these bodily actions during BCI that allows action to be socially organised, understood and coordinated with others and through which social relationships can be played out. For more information please see our CHI paper "Embodiment in Brain-Computer Interaction".

NEW YORK -- A government study has fingered leafy green vegetables as the leading source of food poisoning illnesses.
However, the most food-related deaths were from contaminated chicken and other poultry.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the study Tuesday. It's based on an analysis of food poisoning cases from 1998 through 2008. It's the agency's most comprehensive attempt to identify which foods most often carry germs that make us sick.
The CDC estimates roughly 1 in 6 Americans -- or 48 million people-- gets sick from food poisoning each year. That includes 128,000 hospitalization and 3,000 deaths.

Vintage Parts Axle - … And A Beaming Smile Spring Time …Written by on September 1, 2011
Remember my Modified project? Good, because I'd all but forgotten about it. Locked away in storage since I boxed and Z'd the stock A chassis and installed the Dagel's Street Rods crossmember kit last year, I recently got all fired up about it again after a house move meant I finally had all my cars and parts in one place. Figuring a rolling chassis would be easier to move around than the wheelbarrow-like chassis and rearend, I set about acquiring the parts to install a dropped I-beam on quarter-elliptic springs. With the rearend already pushed forward a good few inches, despite the front axle now being way ahead of the crossmember, and even the framehorns, in spite of appearance the wheelbase isn't as long as that of a '32.
With the exception of the hubs and wheels (and the drum brakes when I get to that point), all the parts used here are new, but the overall project should still have an "old" feel to it upon completion—at least that's what I'm aiming for. One exception I'm going to have to live with are the steering arms. I wanted to use early Ford spindles with their built-in arms, but, as with the majority of I-beams, these arms hit the "dropped" section of the Vintage Parts axle and don't offer enough turning radius to be used safely. However, the steering assembly will be the subject of another installment.
I want this car to ride low, albeit with nothing hanging below the scrub-line, and like the look of quarter-elliptic springs. I also wanted to mount these above the framehorns, rather than remove the horns as is commonplace. This meant heavily modifying the mounts supplied with the springs by Posies. I decided it'd be easier to simply fabricate new ones for my application. The dropped I-beam is a new product by Vintage Parts, and is supplied pre-drilled. Though Posies also offers bolt-on spring perches, these wouldn't align with the holes in the axle, so again I made my own, though the ones shown here are temporary. Posies builds ride height adjusters into their mounts, which I unashamedly copied, but I'd like to get the height as close as possible to ideal before using the adjusters, so the perches shown here were quickly fabricated to provide a baseline. I deliberately used seamed tubing so I won't be tempted to use them on final assembly, where I'll make neater versions from seamless DOM (drawn over mandrel) tube.
I'm no different from you guys out there, and can't afford everything at once, which is why you'll notice no front tires on the early Ford 16x4 steel wheels. However, knowing I'll be using 26-inch tires meant I could use wood blocks to set the wheels at ride height, to establish the height of the front axle. The caster angle then determined where the rear of the split Fatman Fabrications wishbone would mount, as I wanted to mount them through the side of the chassis 'rails. This then determined the height of the front of the chassis in relation to the floor, consequently determining where the springs would be mounted. Got that? You have to start somewhere, and the height of the axle is the single non-adjustable part of the equation once you know your tire diameter. So working within these self-imposed parameters, let's get this chassis rolling …
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Posies ElliptaSlide quarter-elliptic springs feature rolled and tapered leaves with the company's SuperSlide buttons. Supplied with shackles, stainless spring clamps, and frame mounting brackets that allow adjustable ride height, there's also the option of a perch kit, though I made my own. Quarter-elliptics offer a certain vintage feel, which is why I was keen to use them.The spindles are shipped by Vintage Parts with the kingpin bushings already installed and reamed, which is a time and money saver for most home builders.The first order of business was to install the spindles on the axle. This cup and felt washer go on first …… while the thrust bearing goes between the lower spindle boss and the axle. Shims are also provided should they be required.These locking wedge pins locate the kingpin by passing through a groove halfway down its length. Make sure you install the kingpins with the groove aligned with the hole in the axle. Early Fords also used the over-long nuts on the pins as steering stops.I'll be using F-1 drum brakes, and used original Ford hubs. Although aftermarket versions are available in steel and aluminum, I should point out that this is a "dry" build, and as such I used old bearings, and wasn't concerned that each hub only had two studs.For the purpose of illustration, I installed a stock Ford spindle on the axle. It's clear that steering range is limited—even more so than that caused by using a split 'bone, where the tire fouls the radius rod—as the cast steering arm hits the axle. This is a common problem with dropped axles, and is by no means limited to the Vintage Parts product.I, ahem, forgot to order flattop axle perch bolts, hence the regular bolt used in the previous picture, and throughout the dry build. Those shown here are from Speedway Motors, and are available in plain steel, chrome, or stainless. On a regular frontend, this perch bolt would include the spring perch.Here it's mocked up with wheels in place, and on blocks at ride height in lieu of tires. Now's the time to sit back and open a cold one or make a cup of tea (hey, I'm British!) and decide just how far forward of the chassis the axle should be mounted. My decision was kinda of made for me, but I'll come to that in a minute.
Opinions on the amount of caster an early I-beam frontend should have will always vary, with Posies recommending 6-7 degrees and Fatman Fabrications building 5 degrees into their Vintage Bonz. I've always built 6 degrees into my builds, measured here with the kingpin pushed through the axle boss from below.My careful pre-planning actually worked this time, but a common old-school trick to increase caster has always been to pie-cut the wishbone just behind the yoke and re-weld it at a greater angle. The Fatman 'bones are slid 2 1/2 inches over the yoke before welding, so cutting them to re-weld would involve cutting through solid steel.While I didn't use the Posies frame mounts, it would be remiss of me to not show how they are intended to be installed. The gussets are supplied with the mounts, along with the hardware.I elected to mount my springs above the framehorns, the similar curvature pleasing to the eye, not to mention it offered an extremely low ride height yet still safely above the scrub line. This therefore somewhat dictated where I'd mount my axle.With both springs clamped in place where they looked best—i.e. where the curvature matched the framehorns—I grabbed an accomplice to ensure they were square with each other and the frame, first by measuring across at the front and rear …With racer tape on the top of the axle, we established its centerline and measured out from there by half the distance between the springs. Adding 7/8 inch brought our measurement to the center of each spring eye, as the springs are 1 3/4 inches wide. The tape was marked accordingly. Somewhat luckily this put the centerline of our axle perches exactly between two of the holes drilled through the axle. Though it would have been even luckier if it had aligned with one of the holes, as I could have used the Posies perches!Instead of modifying the Posies frame mounts by adding triangular plates to each side, I elected to make new mounts from a single piece of 1/4-inch wall square tube with an internal width of 2 inches, slightly wider than the spring, and 1/16-inch wider than the Posies mounts. I'll place large 1/8-inch washers between each side of the spring and tube. I sourced a pair of flange nuts identical to those used by Posies, and reused their hardware.
… then opening them up into a hex-shape using a die grinder. The flange nuts then fit snuggly from below.There are two items of note here. First, I welded the crossmember to the chassis rails as this will be hidden under the new spring mounts, and the joint was already weakened by someone previously grinding the tops off the factory rivets. Secondly, I used a 1-inch hole saw to drill the top of the framerail to allow clearance for the bottom of the bolt that holds the spring leaves together.Finally I could tack-weld the spring mounts to the top of the framerail, after double-checking all diagonal measurements. The flange nut was also tack-welded to the mounts at this time. I'll go back and fully weld everything at a later date when I'm happy everything works as it should.I purchased a couple of short lengths of seamless tube with a 3/4-inch ID to fabricate the spring perches. These needed to be cut down to 1 3/4 inch in length to match the spring width. My local industrial tool supply house stocked these as well as the flange nut, and the fasteners I'll use to bolt the perches to the axle.Posies recommends setting the shackles at halfway through their travel, which equates to 45 degrees from vertical in this case. This gave me the location of the perch tubes in relation to the axle.As the holes in the I-beam are 3/4-inch diameter, I sourced these Allen-headed shoulder bolts to attach the perches. The nuts are Grade 8, the bolts are actually a higher tensile alloy.Ensuring the springs were level in relation to each other, I clamped a length of square tube to each shackle to align them at the same angle before tack-welding the perch tubes to the 1/4-inch plate brackets I'd fabricated and bolted to the I-beam.As mentioned in the text, these perches are temporary and will strictly be used for setup purposes. I didn't use the seamless tube for these, and the brackets are not exactly finished nicely, but they'll serve their purpose. Note the inside edges of the 1/4-inch plates are radiused to fit tightly inside the channel of the I-beam.
Here's a perch and spring shackle in place on the axle. With minimal space between the nuts for the perch to be welded to the plate, you can see why the measurements were critical in aligning the spring with the axle.With the springs now attached to the axle—note all you see of the perches from the front are a couple of round Allen-head bolts—I could mount the rear of the 'bones through the sides of the framerails, but not before measuring diagonally again and checking the wheelbase matched side to side.You may remember I used the "spare" ends of passenger side early Ford steering arms to mount the rear radius rods to the frame. For the front I replicated these using 1 1/4-inch round steel stock, drilling a 1/2-inch hole through the center, and then using this 7-degree taper reamer from Speedway Motors to fit the tie-rod end perfectly.With 2-inch holes cut in the boxing plates, the tapered bungs were welded to the inside of the outer chassis 'rail to mount the 'bones using tie-rod ends in a traditional manner.

My company recently switched it's e-mail platform over to Zimbra and everything has been running fairly smoothly.
However we are not able to view resources across domains. For example, we have some employees in a division with the domain name ffresearch.com and some in another division with the domain name dpmadvert.com. Both divisions are located in the same building and share the same resources.
If we create a resource called email@example.com, no one with an e-mail address from the ffresearch.com domain can see it.
We've been looking for solutions on the forums and on the web, but have found nothing. Our host also has no idea.
The only way I can see to get around this is to create alias' for everyone, but that is obviously not an ideal solution.
Thank you ahead of time for any response.

LAPD launches manhunt for cop turned killer
"LAPD launches manhunt for cop turned killer" Continued...
In a scenario straight out of movie plot, an ex-Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer is on the run after being accused of killing three people in revenge for the "injustices" he suffered on the force.
Christopher Dorner, 33, is suspected of killing two relatives of a former police captain on Sunday, then shooting three Riverside police officers Thursday, killing one and wounding the others. LAPD officers found his burnt-out truck in the Big Bear Lake region of the San Bernardino Mountains, east of Los Angeles, and are now combing the area amid falling snow and freezing temperatures.
Dorner said in a manifesto posted on his Facebook page his actions were revenge for being unfairly fired from the force in 2008. "I never had the opportunity to have a family of my own. I'm terminating yours," he wrote. Then he listed the names of police officers he felt had been racist or unjust, including Randal Quan, the former police chief whose daughter was killed, along with her fiancé, in Irvine on Sunday.
Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck stressed the danger of the situation at a news conference yesterday.
"Of course he knows what he's doing; we trained him," Beck said. "He was also a member of the Armed Forces. It is extremely worrisome and scary."
Dorner has been in the Navy since 2002, taking leave from the police department in 2006 and 2007 for deployment in Bahrain. He earned a rifle marksman ribbon and pistol expert metal while in the Naval Reserves. He said in his manifesto he would "utilize every bit of small arms training, demolition, ordinance, and survival training I've been given."
The saga began Sunday night, when Quan's daughter Monica, an assistant women's basketball couch at Cal State Fullerton, and her fiancé, Keith Lawrence, were found shot in their car in their condo's parking structure. Police found Dorner's belongings, including police equipment and paperwork, near San Diego. Two days later, LAPD found Dorner's manifesto online. The department quickly sent security to Dorner's possible targets and began searching for the ex-cop.
Early Thursday, a Corona resident reported seeing the suspect, and as police followed his truck to a gas station, the driver, believed to be Dorner, fired a rifle. A bullet grazed an officer's head.
Later, two officers in nearby Riverside were ambushed at a stoplight by a motorist with a rifle. One officer died and the other was seriously wounded.
In Dorner's manifesto, he detailed all the instances of racism and injustice he said he witnessed while on the force, including being "unfairly" removed after reporting his training officer, Teresa Evans, had kicked a severely mentally ill man in the chest and cheek. Evans had already been worried about Dorner's conduct and deficiencies in his police work at the time. After three civilian witnesses and a policeman testified they did not see her kick the man, Dorner was fired.
"The Violence of action will be HIGH," he warns the LAPD, after listing the skills and information he has: "I know your route to and from home. … I know your significant others [sic] routine, your children's best friends and recess."
In an ironic twist, Dorner also touted stronger gun control laws to prevent shootings like Sandy Hook and Columbine. He decried his support for gay rights yet also varied in his political views. His two favorite presidents are Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush and he wants either Hillary Clinton or Gov. Chris Christie for president in 2016, according to his manifesto. The document lists journalists he admires, including Chris Matthews and Anderson Cooper, and celebrities from Tim Tebow to Charlie Sheen to Anthony Bourdain.
Cooper received a package from Dorner, containing an LAPD coin with multiple bullet holes in it, a note that said "I never lied! Here is my vindication. Evans kicked the suspect," and a DVD that Cooper said contains testimony that appears to corroborate Dorner's claims.
At the same time, Facebook fan pages have sprung up supporting Dorner, with commenters calling him a "hero" and claiming "the police are guilty of murder, he is a good cop dusting the dirt off the table." Twitter has also exploded with supporters calling for the LAPD to be held to account for its brutality.
During the manhunt, police accidentally shot two newspaper delivery women, mistaking their blue pickup for his. More than 100 officers are now spread out through Big Bear, knocking on doors and checking abandoned homes for the suspect.
"We're going to continue searching until either we discover that he left the mountain or we find him, one of the two," San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said today.

Item # ERG0002
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Grips in stock than that.View Similar Products
Ergon GP1 BioKork Grip $0.00
The GP1 BioKork Grip is the exact same shape as the original Ergon GP1. Ergon's patented wing-shaped grips support your hand and wrist in a way that relieves pressure on the Median and Ulnar nerves -- pressure that causes numbness, tingling, or pain. Other than that important similarity, it is radically different. Instead of solid rubber, this grip uses natural cork, harvested from certified sustainable trees in Portugal for 40% of the cover. In addition, it also uses grass fiber for 40% of the grip core and vegetable oils instead of mineral oil in the gel palm insert. As with Ergon's other aluminum clamps, the clamp on the BioKork grips is recyclable. The benefits of cork's natural low density are a lightweight and comfortable grip.
The Ergon GP1 grip is a great starting point for an exploration of Ergon's wares. By comparison, the GP1 is a bit more forgiving than the race-oriented GX1. So those looking for the most comfort, look no further. Each grip is held in place by a forged aluminum alloy clamp set by a 4mm hex key. When the grip is oriented to your preference, the clamp hardware should not be tightened in excess of 5nm.
The Ergon GP1 BioKork grip comes in two sizes -- standard width in small and large. The size does not refer to the length but the thickness of the grip. The people at Ergon tell us that macho types assume they should have large unless otherwise indicated, so consider this a warning. Ergon has found that most people, except those who have huge mitts, go with the small. The smaller diameter is lighter, a bit stiffer, and easy to grab. Those with big hands and those who spend long, long days in the saddle might want to lean towards large.
The GP1 BioKork grips are 54mm at their widest point (measured front to back) and are 132mm long. The left and right grips are mirror images of each other. They come with end plugs and mounting instructions. Weight for the pair is 148g for the small and 182g for the large.

Good looking grips
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I bought a set of these in small size to replace the OEM set that was on my wife's bike. The OEM set was similarly shaped BUT they kept spinning on the bars. The aluminum clamp of the GP1's solves this issue easily. These grips don't feel rubbery and she can ride without gloves on smooth paved paths. They were fairly easy to install... it took more work to pull off the OEM ones. I've also read around the web that some have stripped the clamp with the screw during their install... I can see this easily happening. Heeding this warning, I just tightened the clamp to the point where my wife could not physically twist the grips... it was less tightening than I thought it would be. All I can say is, apply what you feel is tight... too much more and you will probably risk stripping the clamp. The new end caps were a bit of a chore to get installed properly, but once there, they also look good. I feel that the cork color of the grips will match nicely with most any bike.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
What a difference they made! My hands would go numb after only minutes on normal grips. Now I can do 40km with no issue.

Just Perfect Dash Pad and Door Panel ResorationWritten by on August 11, 2006 Restore Your Door Panels and Dashpads the Right Way
It's a world of vinyl, color, and aroma that only a true musclecar fanatic can appreciate. Yes, the inside of your ride is where the whole experience happens. And whether it's hued in three shades of blue, black, or red, the quality of your interior speaks volumes about how serious you are about your car. Most importantly, a discriminating restoration demands the interior look new and exactly original. Many Mopars have led a rugged life and have cracked dashes, worn door panels, and broken trim and plastic to prove it. Often finding N.O.S. or good reproduction items to maintain that factory new appearance is difficult, to say the least.
But there's good news. Just Dashes in Van Nuys, California, can completely restore aging original and worn interior parts to look, last, and fit like new. This includes dashpads, vinyl door panels, headrests, plastic, and most interior parts. The new material used for these restorations is formulated with modern UV inhibitors that allow the vinyl to last much longer in the sun. If your musclecar has the more unique molded door panels, such as those found on early '70s Mopar E-Bodies, they can be restored as well. Or if you are considering converting your car to factory power windows, many door panels can be altered to accept the power window switch without revealing the previous crank window hole. For some vehicles, the instrument panel and gauges can be restored to a better-than-factory look.
The process to restore most of these items is labor intensive and requires a good bit of time, but the bottom line is, if you need to restore almost any interior item, chances are that Just Dashes can help. To learn more about this we followed along as the Just Dashes team worked their magic on some '63 Plymouth interior items. The door panels suffered from age and grime, the dashpad from years of harsh sunlight, and the kick panels and arm rests were dramatically faded. Check out the process and the stunning results as these items are transformed from old to better than new.

The Just Dashes team begins by completely stripping the existing vinyl and foam from the baseboards and making new duplicate boards to assemble the new stamped material to. With the old panel as a template, even the factory holes are precisely replicated. Replacing the old inner-panels with new boards serves two purposes. First, the new panels provide a better foundation to build the new assembly to. Second, the original and musty smelling panels are discarded so the replacement panel will smell new. If you're missing your original panels, Just Dashes may have existing panels to use to cut new ones.For our '63, Just Dashes had brand-new, factory correct, multi-colored, and dielectrically stamped vinyl panels. Like the unique originals, these are manufactured in the original three shades of blue in the correct grains.One of the critical steps taken to ensure the new panels will fit snugly to the inner door is the use of the original upper metal shells. These upper shells are transferred to the new panel assemblies, and provide an accurate and tight fit to the inner door structure.After the upper shells have been removed from the old panel, they are media blasted and painted with high-gloss enamel paint for protection. Next, they are aligned and riveted to the new inner panels.Just Dashes uses experienced craftsmen to assemble the new panels to exact factory (or better) condition. The skillful use of a heat gun is used to fit and wrap the vinyl snuggly over the top of the panel where it is secured with adhesive and hidden staples.A look behind the new panel assembly shows how well the vinyl and shell are secured. New window felts are also installed to all the panels.The Plymouth emblem stamping in the new vinyl is factory exact, and the tri-colors in the vinyl are accurate.Now completed, the front and rear '63 Plymouth Savoy door panels look factory perfect. Notice how well all the horizontally stamped seams line up from the front to rear panel.Next, the team tackled the upper dashpad that has suffered from years of sun and needed a restoration. This was largely because the original dashpad foam was manufactured from a porous and open-cell material, which allowed it to expand and contract with temperature changes, creating stress cracks when the surface of the vinyl skin became brittle. After the old original vinyl and foam are ground from the dashpad, Just Dashes craftsmen install new, high-density, closed-cell polyethylene foam that is hand-shaped to provide a perfect base for the new vinyl.
The new closed-cell foam expands and contracts at the same rate as the new vinyl, which is formulated with modern day UV inhibitors and will allow the new dash to survive a lot longer. This pad is now ready to have the new vinyl drawn over it . . .. . . and to do that, the dashpad is installed in a special thermo vacuum forming machine (much like the factory used) and heated until it is soft and pliable. Vacuum is then applied, and the new vinyl (patterned after the original grain, when possible) is sucked down over the contours of the pad. The vinyl used here is thicker (0.045 inch) than the original and much more durable.Next, the vinyl is cooled with a spray of water so that it draws/shrinks even farther into position.After the pad is hand finished, it goes to the paint area to be dyed in the exact factory color for your vehicle. The dye is extremely durable and UV resistant.

In the coming year the Spanish Family-to-Family Education Program will take a giant step forward in reaching Spanish-speaking families. Pictured above are the new teachers recently trained in El Paso, Texas, who will offer free Family-to-Family classes in El Paso and in Juarez, Mexico. These NAMI volunteers were trained by Texas State Trainers Lupe Morin and Aurora Attel.
On another front, the Family-to-Family program is being inaugurated by NAMI Puerto Rico. Organized and promoted by Silvia Arias, NAMI board member and NAMI Puerto Rico executive director, a training was held in March for 18 new teachers eager to expand the program throughout Puerto Rico. This group was trained by NAMI's national Spanish trainer Norma Garcia Bangs. The first classes will begin in San Juan and Dorado.in early April.
In Monterey, Mexico, classes for Spanish speaking family members continue to expand under the direction of Hugo Garza, founder of the advocacy organization Ingenium. Another branch of this organization is offering Family-to-Family classes in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
In May, NAMI will host the first national Spanish Family-to-Family Training of Trainers session, taught entirely in Spanish to Spanish-speaking teachers who have been selected to be state trainers. Fourteen Family-to-Family Spanish teachers from California, Florida, Georgia, New Mexico, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Mexico will gather in St. Louis for a 3-day training session conducted by Norma Garcia Bangs. Gaining Spanish state trainers will mean that more teachers in these states can be trained in Spanish, and can in turn offer more Spanish classes in their communities.
We are looking forward to the day when all NAMI states with large Spanish populations will have Family-to-Family state teacher trainings and classes in Spanish, and we are very excited about the growth of the program in Mexico and Puerto Rico.

Home > Research, Data & Reports > Student Enrollment Data > Enrollment at a Glance >
FTE or FYE Enrollment
Enrollment data on this web site are based on headcount, or the actual number of students who are in attendance regardless of the number of credits each student is taking. Sometimes it is useful to convert headcount into an enrollment equivalent such as full-time equivalent (FTE). Explained below are definitions of enrollment equivalencies used in Minnesota to describe postsecondary student attendance status other than headcount.
In Minnesota, for purposes of state budgeting, the concept of full-year equivalent (FYE) student has been established as the standard means of reporting enrollments for public postsecondary institutions. Minnesota Statute 135A.031, Subd.4. (b) states:
For all purposes where student enrollment is used for budgeting purposes, student enrollment shall be measured in full-year equivalents and shall include only enrollments in courses that award credit or otherwise satisfy any of the requirements of an academic or vocational program.
Public postsecondary institutions calculate FYE students by dividing total student credit hours by the number of credit hours constituting a full load. Under semesters, a full-time load is 30 credit hours for undergraduate and professional courses and 20 credit hours for graduate courses for the academic year.
FYE Data:
- FYE data for the University of Minnesota.
- FYE data for the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU). See the current year System Fact Book from the MnSCU publications page.
FYE enrollment data are not collected for private postsecondary institutions since they do not receive direct state appropriations.
Full-time and part-time enrollment
The Office of Higher Education does not collect or calculate FYE enrollment data. It does collect attendance status data on students, or whether they are enrolled full or part-time. A full-time student has an academic course load that is at least 75 percent of the normal full-time load as defined by the institution. A part-time student has an academic course load that is less than 75 percent of the normal full-time load.
Note: The U.S. Department of Education defines a full-time undergraduate as a student who is enrolled for 12 or more semester credits, or 24 or more contact hours a week each term. A full-time graduate student is enrolled for 9 or more semester credits, or involved in thesis or dissertation preparation.

In response to PatsEng's comment:
A 5 yr deal? I wouldn't be excited about that given Welkers age and the amount of hits he's taken. Unless it's to give a large bonuse and low base for the first couple of years to cut cap
yea at 2 mil per base
still i feel its handicapping the offense passing so many 4 yard passes. need a big outside wr.
i kinda rather move on.
if we then want to pass short demps, edelman, vereen more likely to do something dangersous with a 4 yard pass. especailly if the de backs are flying away from the line of scrimmage becasue we have a big fast body who can separate and catch making them do so.

Royals hire Willie Aikens as a minor league coach
The Royals announced today that the club has hired Willie Aikens as a minor league coach. The former first baseman and designated hitter will be based out of the Royals' complex in Surprise, Ariz.
"Royals fans are well aware of Willie's background and what troubles he has overcome in his life," Royals' Director of Minor League Operations Scott Sharp said. "We feel confident that his story and experiences will serve as a positive influence to all the young players in our organization that he will coach and mentor. His passion for the game of baseball and the Kansas City Royals, specifically, will be a major asset in his new position."
Aikens, 56, played for the Royals from 1980-1983 batting .282 with 77 home runs and 297 RBI in 511 games. The eight-year Major Leaguer also played for the Angels (1977, 1979) and Blue Jays (1984-85). Aikens was at his best in the postseason for Kansas City, including hitting .400 with four home runs and eight RBI in the 1980 World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies.

This page covers recurring reports that CBO has published since 2000. Some of the reports listed here have been published since the 1970s; those earlier reports are all available on CBO's website but are not shown here.
CBO regularly publishes projections of economic and budget outcomes which incorporate the assumption that current law regarding federal spending and revenues generally remains in place. Those baseline projections cover the 10-year period used in the Congressional budget process. Most of the reports on those projections also describe the differences between the current projections and previous ones; compare the economic forecast with those of other forecasters; and show the budgetary impact of some alternative policy assumptions. The budget projections and economic forecast are generally issued each January and updated in August; the budget projections are also generally updated each March.
CBO estimates the budgetary impact of the proposals in the President's budget using the agency's own economic forecast and estimating assumptions. CBO's independent "reestimate" of the President's budget allows the Congress to compare the Administration's spending and revenue proposals with CBO's baseline spending and revenue projections and with other proposals using a consistent set of economic and technical assumptions. CBO also usually analyzes the economic impact of the President's budget (and the feedback effect of those economic changes on the budget)—recently in a separate report, but previously in the same report.
Periodically, CBO produces reference volumes examining options for reducing budget deficits. The volumes include a wide range of options, derived from many sources, for reducing spending and increasing revenues. (Occasionally, the volumes focus on specific areas of the budget, as do many of CBO's other reports.) For each option, CBO presents an estimate of its effects on the budget and a discussion of its pros and cons but makes no recommendations.
CBO provides the Congress with budget projections beyond the standard 10-year budget window. Those projections, which focus primarily on the coming 25 years, show the effects of demographic trends, economic developments, and rising health care costs on federal spending, revenues, and deficits. The assumptions about federal spending and revenue policies used for the long-term budget projections match those underlying the agency's 10-year baseline for the first decade and are extended in a similar way to later years. The report also shows the long-term budgetary and economic effects of some alternative policies.
CBO publishes long-term projections for Social Security in the Long-Term Budget Outlook and then provides additional information on those projections in subsequent, separate reports.
In most years, the Department of Defense (DoD) provides a five-year plan, called the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP), associated with the budget that it submits to the Congress. Because decisions made in the near term can have consequences for the defense budget well beyond that period, CBO regularly examines DoD's FYDP and projects its budgetary impact roughly a decade beyond the period covered by the FYDP.
At the direction of the Congress, the Department of Defense generally issues annual reports that describe its plan for building new ships over the next 30 years. CBO examines these plans in detail and estimates the costs of proposed ship purchases using its own estimating methods and assumptions. CBO also analyzes how those ship purchases would affect the Navy's inventories of various types of ships over the next three decades.
At the direction of the Congress, CBO projects the 10-year costs of the Administration's plans for operating, maintaining, and modernizing nuclear weapons and the military systems capable of delivering those weapons. The reports are biannual, with occasional interim updates as necessary.
For households with different levels of income and in various demographic groups, CBO reports estimates of average federal tax rates (federal taxes divided by income), shares of total federal taxes paid, and related measures.
CBO periodically evaluates the quality of its economic forecasts by comparing them with the economy's actual performance and with forecasts by the Administration and the Blue Chip consensus—an average of about 50 private-sector forecasts. Such comparisons help to show the extent to which various factors have caused CBO to miss patterns and turning points in the economy.
CBO each year produces projections of the federal receipts and expenditures in the national income and product accounts (NIPAs), which are produced by the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis.
The federal government sometimes imposes requirements—known as mandates—on state, local, and tribal governments and entities in the private sector in order to achieve national goals. In 1995, lawmakers enacted the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) in part to ensure that the Congress receives information about the potential effects of mandates as it considers proposed legislation. To that end, UMRA requires CBO, at certain points in the legislative process, to assess the cost of mandates that would apply to state, local, and tribal governments and to the private sector. From 1997 through 2015, CBO prepared annual reviews of its activities under UMRA and produced reports summarizing those activities. The last report, which covered activities in calendar year 2014, was published in March 2015. In 2016, CBO transitioned to an online version of the review. The online version includes information about mandates in legislation and in public laws beginning with 2013, and it is updated periodically throughout the year.
Each month, CBO issues an analysis of federal spending and revenues for the previous month and the fiscal year to date. Those Monthly Budget Reviews, which are based on information from the Treasury Department, provide information on the monthly status of outlays, receipts, and the deficit or surplus.
CBO regularly prepares reports listing all programs and activities funded for the current fiscal year for which authorizations of appropriations have expired or will expire during the current fiscal year. CBO publishes three versions of the report each year with the items sorted in different ways to be more useful to different committees.
The Congress established the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) in 2008 to stabilize financial markets. CBO regularly provides its estimate of the costs of the program and a comparison of that estimate to the preceding estimate from the Administration's Office of Management and Budget.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) requires CBO to comment on reports filed by recipients of ARRA funding about the number of jobs funded by ARRA. CBO's reports provide the agency's own estimates of the effects of ARRA on total output and jobs.
CBO is required to publish estimates of the caps on funding for discretionary programs for each fiscal year through 2021 and to report whether, according to those estimates, a sequestration (a cancellation of budgetary resources) would be required. However, the Administration's Office of Management and Budget ultimately makes the determination of whether a sequestration is required based on its own estimates.
CBO periodically provides information on spending by federal, state, and local governments for transportation and water infrastructure. In addition to presenting data on outlays for various types of infrastructure, the reports also examine such spending in terms of two broad categories—spending for capital and spending for operation and maintenance.

I've Just Been Told I Have Liver Cancer
Liver cancer is a type of cancer. And there are very few things scarier than being told you have cancer. You may feel like you're in shock. You may not even want to believe what the doctor has told you. And there are probably so many questions you want to ask but think you can't because you don't know where to start.
First of all, it's OK to be overwhelmed. And it's OK to feel afraid. These are all normal feelings and responses. But you shouldn't let these feelings stop you from finding out as much as you can about your cancer and about the options you have. The more you know, the less helpless and afraid you will feel. And the more you know, the better you will be able to work with your health care team to make the best choices for your treatment.
To decide the best treatment, your doctor needs to know as much as possible about your cancer. You may have a variety of tests and work with more than one health care professional.
For example, your health care team will include a doctor who specializes in liver disease. You also may see a liver expert, such as a hepatologist, and another cancer expert as well, called a medical oncologist. The team also may include a hepatology nurse practitioner (NP), registered nurse anesthetist, an oncology NP or nurse, a surgeon, an imaging specialist, and an interventional radiologist. You may also see a different cancer specialists, such as a radiation oncologist, or meet with a research team. The team will answer all your questions and guide you through each of the steps that you'll take before, during, and after treatment. Your team will let you know what tests are being done and what the results mean. They'll help you in making treatment decisions. Remember, you can always ask for a second opinion to ensure that you feel comfortable with your plan.
People with liver cancer now have more treatment choices and more hope for survival than ever before. Doctors keep finding new treatments for liver cancer and ways to help people with liver cancer have a better life. We are continually learning more about liver cancer and its prevention, detection, and treatment.

To the editor:
On Bell Fork Road in Jacksonville, there are two school-zone signs that both read that 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. is the time to adhere to the 25 mph rule for the school zone.
On White Street, which runs into Bell Fork Road, there is an additional sign that reads 3:15 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. is the time to adhere to the 25 mph rule for the school zone.
At 3:10 p.m. on April 16, I was traveling down White Street after just getting off work. I turned on Bell Fork Road and was pulled over. The officer stated I was stopped for going 37 mph in a 25 mph school zone.
I addressed the issue of the inconsistencies in the sign to the judge when I went to court on May 21. The district attorney�s only response was to ask me repeatedly about how often I traveled the road, as if to say I should have known better.
No, whoever the individual is who put the signs up in the first place should have been more cautious, and gathered the correct information before the installation of the signs.
Instead of this charge being dismissed, my charge was reduced to speeding. Now this simply means that I was cited for going 2 mph over the speed limit of 35 mph.
There isn�t a cop in America who would pull over a driver for simply going 2 mph over the speed limit.
I have contacted the state Department of Transportation and several news agencies, only to be brushed off. This issue needs to be addressed. How many other citizens have fallen victim to these inconsistent signs?
People need to wake up and do something about this before it increasingly becomes an issue.

Ponte Vedra Beach, FL (Sports Network) - Ashley Hall fired a 7-under 63 on
Thursday to grab a 1-stroke lead after the first round of the Web.com Tour
Hall missed the cut at the Cox Classic, the final regular season event to fall
outside the top 25 on the money list, costing him his PGA Tour card for next
year. He has missed the cut at the first three Final Series events and likely
would need a top-6 finish this week to earn enough money to get his PGA Tour
card for the 2013-14 campaign.
Mark Anderson carded a hole-in-one en route to a 6-under 64. He was joined in
second place on the Dye's Valley Course at TPC Sawgrass by Robert Karlsson.
Chesson Hadley and Shane Bertsch are tied for fourth at minus-5. Dicky Pride
and Jhonattan Vegas are among nine players that share sixth at 4-under 66.

TOWSON, Md. (AP) - A high school sophomore who pleaded guilty to attempted murder for a school cafeteria shooting in Baltimore County has been sentenced to 35 years in prison.
Deputy State's Attorney John Cox said 15-year-old Robert Gladden Jr. was sentenced Monday for the shooting at Perry Hall High School last year.
Gladden pleaded guilty last week to attempted first-degree murder.
The charge involved 17-year-old Daniel Borowy, who was hit in the back with a shotgun blast Aug. 27, the first day of classes at Perry Hall High School. Borowy, who has Down syndrome, missed more than two months of school while recuperating from his injuries.
Baltimore County police released 21 calls to 911 made after the shooting. Many of them were from concerned parents who had heard about the shooting.

I made this recipe for a recent benefit. Sweet Relief Two was a food blogger driven bake sale with the hopes of providing a little assistance following the destruction caused by that bitch Hurricane Sandy. We baked to raise funds for the Community Food Bank of NJ, and boy, did we ever. I had the opportunity to share that story with the Nashville Scene; I hope you take the time to read about it. It was a beautiful experience, and one I'll not quickly forget.
Speaking of beautiful, these cookies have brought smiles to quite a few people. I've made more batches since the bake sale, and I think they'll be in frequent rotation in our home.
My baking style is this: perfect a simple recipe and go wild with mix-ins. I like cookies, brownies, and muffins for this reason. Once I get that base recipe down, the possibilities are endless. The quest for the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe has been a long process, but I think I've got it: more butter, less flour, dark brown sugar, and twice as many chocolate chips as necessary. And salt. Salt is key.
The Heath Bar bits add a fantastic chewy-yet-crispy texture that works well with the dark brown sugar and (lots of) butter. I like adding a few chocolate chips on top of each ball of cookie dough so there are visible chips on every cookie. Four dozen seems like a lot of cookies, but you'll need at least that many for keeping and sharing.
Salted Double Chocolate Chip Heath Bar Cookies
makes about four dozen
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 sticks salted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar, packed
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided in half
12 oz bittersweet chocolate chips
12 oz Heath Bar bits
coarse or flaked sea salt
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine flour & baking soda in a bowl; set aside. Using a handheld or stand mixer, blend butter and brown sugar at medium speed until creamy, about three minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, then vanilla until fully blended. Scrape batter down the sides as needed. Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture a little at a time until fully mixed. Add half semi-sweet chocolate chips, and all the bittersweet chocolate chips and Heath Bar bits, mix completely.
Drop small balls of cookie dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper (I use the small Pampered Chef scoop); one dozen at a time. Place four or five semi-sweet chocolate chips atop each cookie dough, then sprinkle with salt. Bake 10-11 minutes until golden brown.

Frenched and served on the bone, the Cowboy Steak is a split rib, quick to cook on the grill – a great presentation.
Dry Aged Beef is the best of the best when it comes to beef. The whole dry aging process changes the composition of the beef, making it much more tender and full of flavor. Debragga provides steaks and roasts for Legendary Chefs and Gourmet
Known as Tenderloin Steak or Filet Mignon, it is tender enough to cut with a fork. This is the rarest cut.
This classic rib eye steak , also known as the Delmonico, is cut from the same muscle as Frenched Rib, so it's always juicy, tender and full of flavor.
The Standing Rib Roast, also called the Prime Rib Roast, is the perfect centerpiece for that special event, especially for the holidays!
Known as sirloin or NY Strip steak it is one of the finest steaks on the animal! Everyone loves the "strip"!
The Classic T-Bone, a tender taste of filet on one side and a beautiful strip on the other
Prime is the highest grade awarded by the USDA. This superior grade denotes amazing tenderness, juiciness, flavor and fine texture. Prime is generally featured at the most exclusive upscale steak houses and restaurants – and through DeBragga.com is available for your table, too!
Wagyu beef (often referred to as Kobe Beef) is the hottest meat in today's marketplace. It is striking because its high degree of marbling adds an extraordinary depth of flavor making Wagyu Beef the most tender, most succulent and best tasting beef one can find. DeBragga offers three different varieties of Wagyu beef. All are exceptionally fine tasting; all meet the exact rigid requirements of the Wagyu Beef in Japan. Unlike other purveyors, DeBragga also dry ages Wagyu and offers a selection of Dry-aged Wagyu Rib Roasts.
American Wagyu is the hottest meat in the marketplace
Our Australian Wagyu Beef comes from the highly marbled, ultra-rich breed that made Japan, famous.
The Wagyu of Japan has come to be known today as the most highly marbled and most expensive beef produced in the world. The most prized Wagyu of all, the A5 grade, is judged on 4 different criteria, the marbling intensity, the color of the fat, the color of the muscle tissue itself, and the shape of the muscle. If any of these criteria does not match the highest standard then that carcass will not receive the coveted A5 score. At DeBragga, this is the Japanese Wagyu we offer; the very best, the A5 Wagyu beef. Now many of you know Japanese Wagyu as Kobe beef. Kobe is actually a city in the prefecture of Hyogo in Japan where Wagyu is produced. In fact there are many places in Japan raising Wagyu. The key is, regardless where in Japan the Wagyu/ Kobe is raised, it is the Japanese government inspector that determines whether a given carcass merits the outstanding A5 score. Please see "Wagyu Beef" under About Our Meats for more information on Japanese Wagyu.
Grass fed beef, raised with out antibiotics, hormones and animal by- product feed supplements, this Rosenkran breed "Black Baldies" is a blend of Black Angus and Polled Hereford cows and is noted for its beautiful marbling and tastier meat.
Our free range pork, is naturally raised and pure grain fed by family farmers dedicated to growing pork as our grandparents knew it.
Raised on family farms in Upstate New York, pure-blood Gloucester Old Spot hogs are a rare breed that were recognized for their quality and specific traits more than 300 years ago in England. They have the oldest recorded purebred swine pedigree history in the U.S., starting in 1875.
The richest pork you can find, these Iberico loin chops, from the "Pata Negra" hog (Black Foot) raised in Spain, offer a deeply rich and satisfying experience. The exquisite flavor comes from the luscious fat found inside the muscle and around it.
Tender pinkish white meat, perfect for delicate garnishes like morel mushrooms.
Italian-style dry cured meats, made from the best breeds of pig!

Stylish! The colours are very good. Some of the names are a little hard to read, though.
As the Gianorian Empire rose in the east, and the Andulonian Empire rose to the west, trade between the two began superpowers to flourish. However, as the Ishthain Empire took over the northern sea lanes, Andulon sought new means to reach their eastern trade partners. The answer lay in the Straits of Cenia, linking the Andaliun Ocean to the Sea of Kara, which borders Gianor. The Dominion of Cen, at the time a small nation, accepted the idea, but imposed a small tax for the use of the strait. At the same time, Gianor declared war on Ishthai, meaning weapons and troops were required from the west. As fleets of ships flooded the straits, the coffers of Cenia overflowed, allowing them to fund massive expansion along the two peninsula's. Armed with wealth surpassing any other empire, Cenia now stands as one of the most influential nations, capable of funding the most expensive of expeditions and research.
So this was a bit of a hard one to do, especially considering its size chewed up a ton of RAM, turning Photo Paint sluggish. I ran out of ideas to call the city's/towns/forts, so I started naming some of them off of elements. Also the mountains in the south were somewhat problematic in that the bevel tool doesnt reach the middle, so I'm afraid I have some botched mountain peaks in the southern range. :/ Enjoy.

I like that style and agree with Soixante. The names are hard to read. Have you thought about giving the names the same opacity like the symbols?

Birth Place: Detroit, Michigan, USA
Born: 04/07/1939
Birth Place: Detroit, Michigan, USA
Born on Apr. 7, 1939 in Detroit, MI, Coppola was raised in a creative, supportive Italian-American family. His father, Carmine, was a flutist and composer who played in several orchestras, including Toscanini's NBC Symphony Orchestra, which he often conducted when on tour, while his mother, Italia, was an actress. Because of Carmine's tenure with Toscanini, Coppola moved with his family to New York City when he was two and spent the remainder of his childhood growing up in Queens. When he was nine years old, Coppola suffered from polio, which kept him confined to his bed for a year, with his left leg and arm paralyzed. Separated from his friends, Coppola occupied himself with puppets and me... Continue Bio >>

Double Feature Picture ShowWritten on February 1, 2002 Starring the Goodguys Heartland Nationals and West Coast Nationals
Traveling to events around the country is par for the course for the CLASSIC TRUCKS staff every summer. From about May through August we spend almost as many weekends on the road as we do at home. It's definitely a hectic schedule (summers tend to go by in a flash), but it's also the best way for us to see, experience, and burn film on some of the coolest classic iron that the country has to offer.
Regular readers are probably aware of the relationship that we have with the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association. CLASSIC TRUCKS gives out Top Five awards at five different Goodguys events every summer, and those shows typically get full coverage in these pages. What you may not know is that we usually make it to several other Goodguys shows too, but in most cases we just don't have the pages to report on 'em. Well, this month we had the space, so we decided to share some snapshots from a couple of extra events.
The Goodguys Heartland Nationals has been an early-July tradition in Des Moines, Iowa, for a decade now, and with more than 3,000 vehicles on hand in 2001 it was looking stronger than ever. Surrounding states include Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Illinois, so you can bet that there are plenty of old farm trucks to be found as hot rod fodder. The same could be said about the central California valleys surrounding Pleasanton. There were probably more than a few former farm and winery trucks cruising the West Coast Nationals August 24-26, albeit in updated form. Both shows are great, and should be considered must-see events for hot rodders in their respective regions. Want proof? Then check out the photos in our "Double feature picture show" and see what you think!

Clay and Bonnie Coale's '48 Chevy started out as a $70 junker, but now it's a showstopper. Built at home, the truck's improvements came in the form of a Monte Carlo subframe, 350 engine, Billet Specialties wheels, and Torch Red paint. Watch for a full feature in a future issue.Bob Smith made the trek from Pawnee City, Nebraska, in his chopped, sectioned, sliced, and diced '49 Chevy. Eagle-eyed readers will remember this from the Dec. '00 issue of CLASSIC TRUCKS.One of the coolest trucks we saw all summer was Ron Green's '33 Dodge. With clean traditional styling outside and a Dodge baby hemi underhood, this Ram was definitely looking tough.The subtle appearance of Margaret Broderick's '54 F-100 belies the non-traditional components underhood. How about a 300-inch Ford six for power, and a strut-type IFS from an '80s-era Camaro?It's been around for a few years, but Pete Scialabba's pickup is still one of the most beautiful '40 Fords we've ever seen. Whitewalls and steel wheels, bright red paint, and Tommy the Greek-style striping are all perfect touches on this traditional-style hauler.Something tells us we'd get the willies riding around in Dick and Cindy Long's '42 Willys. The two-tone purple people eater wears mile-ride rubber out back and 399-inches of blown Rodeck power underhood. Serious? You bet!The folks from Stockton Wheel make quite a splash at events when they cruise in with their '56 Ford COE car hauler. This is one rig that's easy to spot motoring down the highway.We just couldn't resist giving you another peek at Dave Dolman's Big Job C-750 cabover, which we featured last month. As always, it was drawing a lot of attention in Des Moines.

As a poor student with little time or money for such frivolities (can you hear the violins?), I do not own a television. Thanks to the beautiful internet, however, I can access most recent American broadcasts online, and keep up to date with pointless cultural references through YouTube.
Now, despite the fact that I barely watch any television, and the little I do watch tends to be of the historical drama variety (Downton Abbey, Mad Men, etc), I cannot help but notice a peculiar trend here that feels very unfamiliar. In the run-up to the presidential elections, Mr and Mrs Obama have become regular guests on reality TV and chatshows.
Just this week, President Obama was the star guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, an award-winning evening chat-show based here in New York. In the hope of winning a greater share of the youth vote,… Read more

1941 Ford Pickup - Heartfelt HaulerWritten by on July 20, 2012 Contributors: RCH Designs The Sentimental Saga of Making Things Right—Twice
In Escondido, California, Hot Rods & Custom Stuff proprietor Randy Clark has enjoyed a long, prolific run as a builder of hot rods, customs, classics, and of course custom classic trucks. The building and maintenance of customer projects is done for deep-seated sentimental reasons at times. That said, there is no stronger, more sentimental example than Randy's own father's '41 Ford pickup. Truth be told, this truck is really a clone of its predecessor, which Randy's father, Paul W. Clark, used as his daily driver from 1950 to 1970. As Randy vividly recalls, "It was red with yellow wheels and it would go 90 mph in second gear. It had a hot rod flathead with Lincoln Zephyr gears. It was dad's truck and I was ridin' shotgun as often as possible. That truck inspired my love for all cars."
As the story goes, in 1970 the first '41 was retired and relegated to an outdoor resting place at the Clark family ranch where it sadly deteriorated over time. The clone seen here has a history with the Clarks as well, having been rebuilt end to end, twice during its own term of service, which began in 1977.
Even in its current incarnation, the pickup's frame remains essentially stock, only this time re-riveted as necessary by Randy. Suspension up front consists of a dropped Ford axle, Durant monoleaf spring and Bilstein shocks to tame the savage streets of Escondido. Bringing up the rear is a stock '41 Ford banjo rearend and radius rods, also suspended by a Durant monoleaf spring and Bilsteins, while Wilson Welding Lincoln-style backing plates and stock Ford drums provide an adequate whoa-to-go ratio for a 59A mill (the one the truck was born with), all hopped up by H&H Flatheads of La Crescenta, California. Backing H&H's powerful package is a stock, column-shifted '41 three-speed "standard" transmission, last rebuilt at HR&CS by Jim Sheridan.
Back At The Ranch
Because this is, after all, a tale best told by someone who'd been there and done that, let us now turn the storytellin' over to Randy.
"At age 51 Dad was diagnosed with cancer, and the prognosis wasn't good. He struggled through two or three years of operations and radiation. One day while visiting with my dad at his ranch, he mentioned that he wished his old '41 pickup was running 'cause he really missed driving it.
"Dad had never before asked, nor even hinted that he wished to have his '41 running again. I called my brother and we hatched a plan to find a '41 Ford pickup and restore it for our dad. A Christmas present it was to be! The problem was; it was the middle of August. We located one in Chino, California, went and got it, and the race was on to get it rebuilt and roadworthy with only four months 'til Christmas.
"My friend, Bob Goff offered to help. We tore the truck apart and rebuilt the brakes, suspension, trans and radiator—all of the mechanical stuff to make it safe. Pretty would come later!
"At that time, my shop was not real busy, so we were able to give the old '41 lots of attention and everyone helped. Dad was told we were doing the job for a customer and the customer was in a big hurry. Every time dad stopped by the shop, he'd say, 'You should tell the truck's owner to do this or do that.' We would tell dad that we'd tell the owner and then do it. After the truck was painted all maroon, dad stopped by and said we should have talked the owner into painting the fenders black. He drove off and we started sanding all four freshly painted fenders to repaint them black, hoping not to hear about many more changes as the clock was ticking.
"We finished the truck at 11:30 on Christmas Eve and drove it to the folks' ranch. Then we left to get some sleep before going back at 8:00 on Christmas morning for breakfast and gifts. Out front sat the surprise with a big red bow on the roof, and one very surprised man got the '41 pickup he had mentioned four months earlier.
"Needless to say, he enjoyed the day, the truck, and the great surprise of December 25, 1977. Five months later, my dad died. I put his truck away at the ranch and never touched it until my wife Peaches said to me in 2006, 'Your dad would be very disappointed.' This got me to thinking. Within the next week I cleaned out the rat nest, pressure washed the truck and took it to town to our shop where we redid the complete job over the next two years. It was completed for Father's Day of 2008, some 30 years after Dad passed.
"I am sure he knows we got it done. This team effort was completed with a lot of help from my great crew at Hot Rods & Custom Stuff. Everyone: Robert Prayther, Jim Sheridan, Robert Del Rio and many, many more are to be thanked many times over. I keep it at home and drive it every chance I get. I look through the same glass, open and close the doors with the same handles and sit on the same seat that my dad and I did over 30 years ago. A lot of time has passed—my memories never will."

On Randy's request, the crackly block of the pickup's original 59A was salvaged. A stock crank and .060-over pistons now add up to 247 cubic inches. The camshaft of choice carries a .355-lift and 274-degree duration, which further benefits from adjustable lifters. Intake is Thickstun and exhaust begins with Fenton.As a fitting tribute, the '70s-vintage, personalized California license plate continues to bear the initials of Paul W. Clark.The pickup rolls on painted steelies—a combination of original 16x4 1/2 and Wheel Vintiques 16x6, manually mounted with Firestone bias-ply rubber from Coker Tire.At first glance one can't help but notice the over-the-top-quality brightwork by Escondido Plating. Just out of view behind the Bob Drake grille, a Walker radiator and CCI electric fan collaborate to keep the hot flathead runnin' cool.
