IDRP PROTOCOL PDF
Packet format: Glossary: RFCs: [RFC ] Guidelines for OSI NSAP Allocation in the Internet. [RFC ] BGP4/IDRP for IPOSPF Interaction. [RFC ]. This paper provides an overview of the IDRP protocol in terms of its architecture and features. No attempt has been made to describe the format of packets or. IDRP introduces several environment-specific terms. These include border intermediate system (BIS), routing domain (RD).

Integrated IS-IS uses this idpr. The metric is arbitrary and typically is assigned by protocpl network administrator. Point-to-point subnetworks, such as WAN serial links, provide a point-to-point link between two systems. Route recalculation is partial and occurs when one of three events occurs: An RD is a group of ESs and ISs that operate under the same set of administrative rules and that share a common routing plan.
Where possible, ES-IS attempts to send configuration information simultaneously to many systems. An area is a group of contiguous networks and attached hosts that is specified to be an area by protocool network administrator or manager.
Unlike broadcast subnetworks, however, the cost of an n-way transmission scales directly with the subnetwork size on a general topology subnetwork. Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System IS-IS is an OSI link-state hierarchical routing protocol that floods the network with link-state information to build a complete, consistent picture of network topology.
The router then looks up the destination address and forwards the packet along the best route. A domain is a collection of connected areas. Routing domains provide full connectivity to all end systems within them. The second part is a packet type-specific portion with a fixed format. The world of OSI networking uses some specific terminology, such as end system ESwhich refers to any nonrouting network nodes, and intermediate system ISwhich refers to a router.
Maximum metric values were set at these levels to provide the granularity to support various link types while at the same time ensuring that the shortest-path algorithm used for route computation will be reasonably efficient. Q – What link-state hierarchical routing protocol floods the network with link-state information when performing updates?
When the topology changes, new updates are sent. Each ES lives in a iidrp area. Each of the three IS-IS packets has a complex format with the following three different logical parts.
The ivrp part consists of an 8-byte fixed header shared by all three packet types. If the destination address is an ES on another subnetwork in the same area, the IS will know the correct route and will forward the packet appropriately.
draft-kunzinger-idrp-ISO – OSI INTER-DOMAIN ROUTING PROTOCOL (IDRP)
IS-IS uses three basic packet formats: Integrated IS-IS implementations send only protocpl set of routing updates, which protpcol more efficient than two separate implementations.
When an ES wants to send a packet to another ES, it sends the packet to one of the ISs on its directly attached network. IS-IS also defines three optional metrics costs: The third part is also packet type-specific but of variable length. Ships-in-the-night routing advocates the use of a completely separate and distinct routing protocol for each network protocol so that the multiple routing protocols essentially exist independently. A – IS-IS uses a single required default metric with idr maximum path value of The IS also might provide a redirect RD message back to the source to tell it that a more direct route is available.

Personal tools Log in. Confederations must be nested within one another and help reduce network traffic by acting as internetwork firewalls.
IDRP features include the following:. These fields inform routers about the reachability of network addresses from other protocol suites and other information required by a specific protocol suite. IS-IS uses a single required default metric with a maximum path value of Sequence numbers terminate the flood and distinguish old updates from new ones.
The delay cost metric reflects the amount of delay on the link. The SNPA address uniquely identifies each system attached to the subnetwork. Level 2 ISs route between Level 1 areas and form an intradomain routing backbone.
General topology subnetworks, such as X. IS-IS uses these mappings to compute routes through the internetwork. This chapter addresses the basic operations of each of these protocols.
Configuration must happen before routing between ESs can occur.

Retrieved ptotocol ” http: Any single link can have a maximum value of 64, and path links are calculated by summing link values.
The backbone routing protocol also can change without impacting the intra-area routing protocol.
As with distance-vector routing, routes to a particular destination accumulate outward from the destination.

Under the American tax law, if you are a U.S. citizen who has either signature authority over or financial interest in any foreign financial account, you are required to report your account annually to the Department of Treasury via electronic filing.
May your foreign financial account by a bank account, trust, or mutual fund, you have the obligation to file both the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) 114 and Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR).
Unfortunately, many U.S. citizens are not very familiar with the FBAR so before they know it, the U.S. government is already there to go after them and their penalties have already piled up.
Cases of U.S. citizens residing outside the U.S. were up the creek for not filing their FBARs are rampant these days, thanks to these people’s ignorance of the law. But since ignorance of the law excuses no one, you can’t just say no one told you about this FBAR thing and expect to be absolved at the end of the day.
Recently, a U.S.-Canadian citizen was in trouble for failure to file his Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR).
Jeffrey Pomerantz, a dual citizen who currently resides in Vancouver, Canada, is now being sued by the U.S. Justice Department for failing to file to the U.S. government his FBAR. The department filed the case in the U.S. District Court in Seattle and is now seeking civil and late payment penalties amounting to $860,300.
While Pomerantz filed his income tax returns to both the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in 2007, 2008 and 2009 he failed to file the other form known as the FBAR.
According to Toronto-based lawyer Hari Nesathurai, the past couple of years have seen an increase in cases of Canadian residents being chased by the U.S. government for failing to file their FBAR reports. The lawyer said FBAR is a problem for many Canadian residents who are subject to U.S. tax laws because they do not realize that even a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) calls for disclosure.
“Many people don’t realize that and it’s troubling because it’s a penalty which applies on a non-disclosure even though there may be no tax payable,” he said, adding that the FBAR is particularly a major concern among Americans and U.S. citizens or green card holders who do not fully understand their reporting obligations.
Going back to Pomerantz’s case, the lawsuit against him filed in May 2016 indicates that the events that led to the U.S. government chasing him for his failure to file his FBAR seem to have begun in 2010 with an audit, which is now before a different court.
The lawsuit reveals that even before the income tax examination commenced, Pomerantz had already failed to file a Treasury Form TD F 90-22.1 (FBAR) for the three years in question to offer disclosure of his existing foreign accounts. However, the U.S. Justice Department said Pomerantz opened at least two personal checking accounts at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce prior to Jan. 1, 2001, and both accounts were active from 2007 to 2009.
The Justice Department also said in 2003, Pomerantz established a corporation in the Turks and Caicos Islands named Chafford Ltd., which held his personal investments. That same year, he also opened three bank accounts in Sal Oppenheim JR & Cie in Switzerland, and in 2007, he opened two more accounts in the same country and the same bank.
The lawsuit also reveals that during each of the three years, he incurred balances not only in the CIBC bank accounts but also in different Swiss accounts over $10,000.
Although the complaint of the U.S. Justice Department says that Pomerantz resided in the United States from 2007 to 2009, the documents presented by his camp claim that he and his wife, also a dual citizen of Canada and Norway, had only resided in California for part of 2008 and 2009 before they moved back to Canada.
The documents prepared by the department read, “The petitioners were residents of Canada during the tax years in question and cannot be liable to double taxation and are entitled to relief under the U.S.” Contrary to that, those prepared by Pomerantz’s side pointed out that the Justice Department’s documents contained several mistakes, both on the IRS’s information and the calculations made in relation to his bank accounts.
In the midst of the controversy, Pomerantz’s camp maintains that whatever mistake or omission was found in his IRS filings was purely unintentional and would not count as fraud, since he filed everything he knew he had to file to the best of his abilities.
On March 3, the U.S. Justice Department issued the last entry in the court file in Pomerantz’s FBAR case by seeking an order to serve the complaint on Pomerantz and his lawyer.
Meanwhile, a controversial agreement has reportedly caused the CRA to transfer to the IRS information about Canadian bank accounts. This transfer has been an issue for many Canada-based U.S. citizens under the American tax law, as this could result in the U.S. government pursuing more Canadian residents for failure to file their FBAR reports.
Pomerantz’s FBAR woes stemmed from his failure to know that considering his status, he was actually required to file an FBAR.
Like Pomerantz, there are many others out there who do not know what an FBAR is, what it is for and who should file it. If you are not sure whether to file it or not, here’s the rule. As per the American tax law, you are required to file an FBAR if you are any of the following:
But how do you know if you are a “U.S. person?”
According to the law, you are considered a U.S. person if you are a U.S. citizen, U.S. resident, an entity such as a corporation, partnership, or limited companies created and organized in the U.S. or under U.S. laws, and trusts or estates created under U.S. laws.
The IRS rule also specifies certain exceptions to the FBAR reporting requirements, such as the following:
In Pomerantz’s case, he is a U.S.-Canadian citizen who owns a foreign financial account so he is required to file an FBAR.
Reporting and filing your FBAR is required regardless of the taxability of your income. The law states that if you hold a foreign financial account, you are obliged to report even when your account produces no taxable income. You meet your reporting obligation by answering questions about tax returns in foreign accounts and by filing an FBAR.
Since the FBAR is considered a calendar year report, you need to do the filing on or before April 15 of the year following the year in question. You need to file electronically through the e-filing system of FinCEN.
Filing FBAR with a Federal Tax Return
In any case, you should not file the FBAR with a federal tax return. Even when the IRS extends the filing period for the income tax return, that does not mean that the period for filing an FBAR is extended as well. The good news though is that the Surface Transportation and Veterans Health Care Choice Improvement Act of 2015 have already been passed, granting taxpayers a maximum six-month extension to file their FBARs. So, should you fail to meet the April 15 deadline for FBAR filing, you have until Oct. 15 of each year to file.
Why You Need to File a Complete and Accurate FBAR
If you want to save yourself from possible civil monetary penalties, make sure that you file your FBAR properly by ensuring its correctness and completeness. FBAR-related penalties depend on whether the violations are willful or non-willful.
For the penalties assessed by the IRS after Aug. 1, 2016, for violations committed after Nov. 2, 2015, the IRS assesses an inflation-adjusted penalty so that it won’t exceed $12,459 per violation for non-willful violations. On the other hand, the inflation-adjusted penalty for willful violations may go above $124,588 per violation.
For violations that occurred on or before Nov. 2, 2015, civil penalties usually do not exceed $10,000 per violation for non-willful violations and greater than $100,000 for willful violations.
When You Are a U.S. Taxpayer Who Holds Foreign Financial Assets
If you are a taxpayer who has foreign financial assets exceeding certain thresholds, you need to file another form in addition to the FBAR—the Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets (Form 8938). You file this form with an income tax return.
When You Have Offshore Financial Accounts
Today, the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program of the IRS allows those who have unreported taxable income from their foreign assets or other offshore financial accounts the chance to fulfill their reporting obligations, and that includes the FBAR. While this program does not have a particular closing date, you need to do your reporting obligations the soonest time possible as the IRS has all the mandate to close this program anytime.
When You are a Non-Resident U.S. Taxpayer Who Failed To File Required U.S. Income Tax Returns
For U.S. taxpayers who don’t reside in the U.S. and have failed to file the required U.S. income tax returns, the IRS implements certain streamlined filing compliance procedures. These procedures are exclusive to non-resident U.S. taxpayers, whose submissions are reviewed on varying degrees, depending on the response of the taxpayer to a risk questionnaire and on the amount of tax due.
In 2014, the IRS expanded these streamlined procedures to certain taxpayers residing in the U.S. The new procedure stipulates that penalties of eligible U.S. taxpayers who are non-residents should be waived, while penalties of eligible U.S. taxpayers who are U.S. residents will include a miscellaneous offshore penalty. This penalty is equivalent to five percent of the foreign financial assets of the taxpayer in question that caused the tax compliance issue.
When You Failed to File FBAR and Are not Under a Civil/Criminal Investigation by the IRS
If there are streamlined filing compliance procedures in FBAR filing for U.S. taxpayers who are non-residents, there are also procedures that are exclusive to taxpayers who did not file the required FBAR and are not under any criminal investigation by the IRS. If the IRS has not contacted you about a delinquent FBAR, then you need to file any delinquent FBAR through FinCEN’s BSA E-Filing System.
When you enter the system, you need to choose a valid reason for your late filing and enter an explanation using the “Other” option. If your income from your foreign financial accounts are properly reported and you paid your taxes on your U.S. tax return, rest assured that the IRS will not impose any penalty for your failure to file the delinquent FBAR.
For the last handful of years, U.S. taxpayers, residents and non-residents alike, have been grappling with various changes on the IRS’ reporting requirements. Despite these changes, the need for U.S. taxpayers to disclose their foreign assets remains. Criminal and civil penalties as a result of not filing an FBAR have been alarmingly high in the last years and the U.S. government is now more stringent than ever in going after those who fail in this part of the IRS law. So if you don’t want to be in dire straits with the IRS, report when and what you should.

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. - A busy day for law enforcement on both sides of the state. After a burglary in North Naples, officials said the three suspects decided to flee southwest Florida.
"It was a shock."
It started inside a home off Cypress Way West. The couple who lives there didn't want to go on camera, but said they are grateful to those who help catch the suspected thieves.
"It's only because of the neighbors actions and their actions that they were apprehended."
Collier deputies arrived to the home after someone reported seeing a suspicious vehicle in the neighborhood Tuesday morning. When officials arrived, the suspcts and the car were gone, along with the homeowner's jewelry and other items. A Collier County Deputy spotted the vehicle on I-75 and tried to pull it over near Mile Marker 96. Officials said the car didn't stop. That's when the chase began with the suspects heading east across Alligator Alley and into Broward County. The three men actually jumped out of their moving car in a residential neighborhood near Fort Lauderdale.
"My husband said he heard all the commotion in the fence. He said he heard a lot of running going on," said Mamie Gomillion.
22 year old Jeremy Marquis Thomas, 22 year old Darius Rashaad Hall, and 19 year old James Steel were finally arrested. Meanwhile, two Fort Lauderdale Police Officers who were responding to the pursuit crashd with another vehicle. Those officers went to the hospital.
"He tried to break and when they spun around, they hit each other. One hit the wall, one hit the pole," said Chloe Aikins.
Officials said some of the homeowner's belongings were found inside the car. On Tuesday night, some people said they were aware of what happened, while others found out through a neighbor who was going door to door to warn people. Realtor Kim Minor lives nearby and works with the Collier County Sheriff's Office to get the word out about incidents like today's. She handed out flyers, letting residents know what happened and what they can do to keep their homes safe.
"I do know the neighborhood extremely well it was needed today it was needed today to let people know to look out now," said Minor.
Minor said she plans to continue getting the word out to let everyone know what happened.

Board of Supervisors supports sportsmen’s access and local economies over short-term economic gain
TUCSON, Ariz. – Yesterday, the Pima County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution opposing any effort to transfer national public lands to the state of Arizona or local governments. The vote was held amid efforts by an Arizona State Legislature committee to examine processes to transfer, manage, and dispose of public lands within the state of Arizona.
The resolution recognizes the importance of public lands for:
– Wildlife habitat and outdoor recreation, including hunting, fishing, hiking, backpacking, wildlife-watching, horseback riding, bicycling, and more.
– Meeting the objectives of the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan to maintain a network of interconnected lands where native habitat and natural corridors remain protected.
– Attracting tourists and employing hundreds of county residents, who contribute in many positive ways to our community and spend their wages at local businesses.
The resolution also recognizes that the state does not have the financial capability to responsibly manage public lands—and sportsmen’s groups agree. “While federal land management certainly isn’t perfect, transferring these public lands to the state is not a viable solution, especially considering that the vast majority of Arizona sportsmen and women depend on public lands for hunting and fishing,” said John Hamill, the Arizona Field Representative for the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. “Arizona simply doesn’t have the funds to maintain roads and recreation facilities, prevent and fight wildfires, restore damaged wildlife habitat, and enforce laws or prevent abuses. Ultimately, the state would be left with no choice other than to sell these lands, which, once privatized, would be off-limits to hunters and anglers forever.”
“I don’t always agree with federal policies and processes, but the Forest Service and BLM are generally good stewards and work toward conservation that’s good for Arizonans who depend on public lands for hunting, fishing, and other outdoor recreation,” said Supervisor Ray Carroll (R-District 4), who cast his vote on the resolution yesterday. “The state is in a tough financial situation and would probably use or sell these lands to fill critical budget gaps.”
“Pima County appreciates the importance of federal public lands to the citizens of our state,” said Carolyn Campbell, executive director of the Coalition of Sonoran Desert Protection. “In 2012, voters in Pima County and throughout Arizona overwhelmingly rejected the idea of transferring ownership of public lands to the state by a two-to-one margin. The Board recognizes this fact and believes that this latest attempt to circumvent the loud voice of public opinion is a bad idea.”
A growing number of Western counties in states like Wyoming and Colorado have recently taken formal positions to oppose the sale or transfer of national public lands. To learn more about the land transfer movement across the country, visit sportsmensaccess.org.
Inspired by the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt, the TRCP is a coalition of organizations and grassroots partners working together to preserve the traditions of hunting and fishing.

It was great fun although I found my skills were a bit rusty. Can you say, really rusty? There were 4 designs and we had supplies to make 3 of each card. Needless to say, I didn't finish all of the copies of each design but I did get the main designs done. Um, er, I forgot there were four cards so only pictured 3 of the cards. Hum, the colors are really light in the center card. There are some flowers with leaves on the right side of the center card. I will finish the extras of them and start using them. (Some of them I left the sentiments off since I probably won't need a bunch of Best Wishes cards. I left off another little saying on that card too.)
My daytime activity was a shopping trip to a quilt store I don't get to very often. I met up with a bunch of quilters and headed to Stitch by Stitch. They do have a web page but it hasn't been updated since last year. (http://stitchbystitchquiltshop.net) It's a nice shop with a fairly good variety of fabrics. (Hum, I don't remember seeing any batiks but I wasn't looking for them either.) They have a nice selection of classes being offered. I was shopping for a dog quilt I will be making.
Here's the pattern I am going to be making. I love Atkinson Designs. Terry's patterns are well written and easy to follow. This particular quilt will be donated to Mid-Atlantic English Springer Spaniel Rescue to raise money for the group. I may not have mentioned it but I volunteer with the group. Some of the larger squares will have photos of our rescue dogs on them.
And, I found these fabrics at Stitch by Stitch:
The dog sayings aren't exactly the right size for the pattern but I can make a few of them work. Now, I need to get a few more photos of springers so I can have them printed on fabric. And, I need to get going on this! I'm hoping to have it done by mid April so they can start selling raffle tickets. I understand that it takes a really long time to sew all those little squares together. I know it is going to turn out great!
That's it for me today. I'm off for a sewing day with friends. (Hum, maybe I did feel a little cabin fever from last week's snow storm.) I'm linking to Can I Get a Whoop Whoop? and Needle and Thread Thursday.

"We saw them dragging each other:" Neighbors witness fight which left 15-year-old stabbed in Cudahy
A 15-year-old is recovering after he was stabbed in an alley in Cudahy Monday night.
Several neighbors living nearby heard the commotion around 9:30 p.m. near 4300 S Kingan Avenue and ran outside. They saw two teenagers fighting and one was covered in blood.
"We saw them dragging each other by the neck and we heard 'I got stabbed, I got stabbed' as soon as I heard that I had my fiance grab the phone and that's when I called 911," said Sara Mackay.
Sara Mackay's fiance and another roommate came out to help break up the fight. One of the teens ran off. Mackay says the other was stabbed in the neck. She then ran inside and grabbed a towel. Within minutes, she said the police were there.
Police say the victim and the suspect are both just 15-years-old.
The teenager who was stabbed was taken to the hospital. He is expected to survive. The other was taken into custody for questioning.
According to the criminal complaint, there is no threat to the public.

WaterBear’s free content is inspired not by viewing figures or financial gain, but by the UN sustainable development goals. The service is marking its first birthday with a global expansion
So you’ve re-watched all your dusty DVDs, wrung iPlayer dry and exhausted Netflix getting through those long lockdown evenings. WaterBear could be your next port of call.
The free streaming platform and app is dedicated to the future of our planet, and was created by the executive producer of Oscar-winning documentary My Octopus Teacher, Ellen Windemuth.
It showcases documentaries and original content that is inspired not by viewing figures or financial return spreadsheets but by the UN sustainable development goals.
Once signed up as members, WaterBear users are able to stream videos at any time, and on any device – all for free – as well as sign petitions and link up with climate organisations through WaterBear’s interactive hub.
The project, which is backed by the likes of Prince Harry, campaigner Lily Cole and actor Maisie Williams, seems to have captured the zeitgeist in the past 12 months.
WaterBear’s managing director, Victor Eckard, told Positive News: “We are so excited by the positive global response since WaterBear launched last December. We are almost a year old, and our engaged community keeps on growing. We’re looking forward to launching more WaterBear Originals around circularity, biodiversity, and all themes related to the UN sustainable development goals. Our continued mission is to drive impact through storytelling.”
WaterBear describes its target audience as “semi-conscious” members of the millennial and Gen Z generations, aged roughly between 15-40. “They are aware of the climate issues and the need to do something more but are overwhelmed by how much there is to do, which is a barrier for them,” reads a WaterBear document.
Two originals launched on WaterBear in September: ReDress the Future is a three-part series exploring some of the fashion industry’s most damaging aspects but “tangible solutions” too.
Meanwhile, the Youth Unstoppable documentary covers the rise of the youth climate movement from the perspective of young people. It was filmed over 12 years in nine countries.

Sports Illustrated gave their site a nice little facelift. They’re also running some NHL preview packages.
There are some interesting choices so far, too.
Like for the Islanders. SI calls Alexei Yashin the team’s “go-to guy.” Go to him for what? For money? Because he has all of the Islanders’ money?
The Rangers preview is also a little odd. SI imagines a top line of Jamie Lundmark, Eric Lindros, and Alex Kovalev. I can’t imagine Kovalev will spend much time with anyone but Petr Nedved. Lindros and Kovalev have two completely different playing styles. And Lundmark is still pretty green to be on the top line.
But go on and see for yourself.

Original Post by Lauren Aratani The Guardian Sun 14 Feb 2021 11.07 EST
The pandemic has been less than ideal for relationships old and new, leaving some couples locked down with each other – and others reconsidering things
This Sunday Mbiye Kasonga and her boyfriend will spend their first Valentine’s Day together socially isolating in a Washington hotel room. Like many couples they are finding that love in the time of coronavirus makes for a strange romance. The couple met late last February, just a week and a half before Washington DC’s first lockdown, when the city closed all non-essential businesses. After matching on Hinge and three successful dates Kasonga and her boyfriend, who preferred not to be named, spent lockdown walking 30 minutes to each other’s apartments for dates. They cooked, talked and watched shows and movies. After a month of getting to know each other, they officially started their relationship. Kasonga, who works for a research firm in DC, said the start of the pandemic had accelerated the timeline of their relationship.
Kasonga’s roommate left town and her boyfriend was the only person she would see under the stay-at-home orders. She and her boyfriend spent the first months of the pandemic thinking up at-home date ideas like taco nights and a Zoom tie-dye class.
“Under normal circumstances, we wouldn’t have seen each other as frequently, we wouldn’t have talked as often,” she said. “I think a lot of times those things get drawn out by the minutiae of everyday life. You work, you want to see your friends, you’re splitting time between these things.”
The Covid-19 pandemic has raised the stakes for relationships new and old, and while Kasonga found joy in starting a new relationship during the pandemic, Covid-19 has offered a less-than-ideal setting for romance.
Couples who are long out of their honeymoon phases have been stuck inside with each other for months in homes that have turned into awkward co-working spaces and classrooms. Meanwhile, social distancing measures have forced socializing with people outside of one’s household to be a calculated, often stressful, event, making dating leagues harder than it was in the before times.
The stunt to romantic relationships has been the cherry on top of the massive devastation that Covid has left people across the US, with nearly 500,000 people dead from the virus and millions of Americans unemployed. It is a sad but unsurprising fact that rates of anxiety and depression have soared during the pandemic.
Covid-19 hasn’t completely killed romantic relationships, but it has surely made things a lot more complicated.
For Ashley Samone, a writer and creative based in Brooklyn, the pandemic saw the end to her relationship with her boyfriend of 11 years. While she questioned the future of her relationship before shutdowns began, the pandemic solidified her decision to focus on herself and her goals.
“The pandemic not only served as a magnifying glass but also a trampoline. It allowed me to see deeper who I was preventing myself from becoming by choosing to be wrapped up by someone else,” she said. While she once had dreams of getting married to her ex-boyfriend, she ultimately ended the relationship in May and moved across the country. The experience has taught her lessons about herself and what she would want out of future relationships.
“My perspective has kind of shifted where it’s like I don’t need things to be so permanent, I don’t need for things to be so black and white. I just want to know that I’m appreciated and that the energy that I’m putting into something is being reciprocated,” she said. “This experience and this time is teaching me that making your own rules is the key to life.”
Psychologists and relationship experts say the pandemic has no doubt made people reconsider their relationships, especially as quarantine began to highlight longstanding issues.
Kerry Lusignan, a licensed mental health counselor and founder of Northampton Couples Therapy said her clinic had been getting up to a hundred calls a week from couples seeking help. Clients are often bringing up issues – mostly around safety and threat – that counselors are familiar with but which have been exacerbated by the pandemic.
“If one person tends to be more casual and laid-back and the other person tends to be more on guard and more contained, those kinds of dynamics are going to get amplified,” Lusignan said. “What you have is this perfect storm for people to be butting heads around issues of power, control and influence.”
The pandemic has unsurprisingly made people more stressed than ever. Along with the inability to see friends and family due to health restrictions, many are also under financial distress. The Census Bureau estimates that about 11% of households are experiencing some type of food insecurity while about 35% are having trouble paying for usual household goods.
Relationship experts say people often do not recognize the impact stress can have on a relationship and a couple’s ability to be good partners to each other.
“When people get divorced and you ask them what happened, you don’t hear them say well, both of us were under a tremendous amount of stress at work at the time and that led us to neglect our relationship, and we fought a lot because of the work stress,” said Richard Slatcher, a professor of psychology at the University of Georgia.
“You don’t ever hear that, but that [stress] can often be a driving force in a relationship’s decline.”
Slatcher, who is a part of a group of researchers that have been conducting a study on people’s love lives during the pandemic, noted that some couples actually saw an improvement in their relationships, particularly in the beginning of the pandemic, because they were spending more time with each other.
A study published in scientific journal Psychological Science also found that couples in the beginning of the pandemic reported no major changes in the outlook of their relationships, while some saw a slight increase in satisfaction.
Hannah Williamson, professor of human development and family sciences at the University of Texas at Austin who conducted the study, said that couples may have been more understanding of each other at the outset of the pandemic since the stress of Covid-19 was so widely understood and felt.
“People were less blaming of their partners for negative behaviors, maybe being cold or not being an attentive listener. People are saying, ‘This is a really hard time, so it’s probably because of that,’” Williamson said.
While it is unclear what the pandemic has done to divorce rates, initial data shows that Covid has not caused widespread wreckage, so far. In fact, the few states that have released their divorce statistics have shown declines in divorces.
Williamson said this data is not surprising, but this does not mean couples have survived the pandemic scot-free. The initial positive impacts the pandemic had on relationships may have worn off as people adjusted to a new normal. Additionally, people may have been hesitant to break up with their partners for fear of being lonely during the pandemic.
“Certainly some relationships are so bad that being alone is preferable, but that calculus changes when the alone is literally in an apartment living alone, not seeing anyone,” Williamson said. “Leaving a relationship is a lot easier when you know that you can then fill that time with spending it with friends and other things like that.”
Experiencing loneliness has not only driven people to stay in their so-so relationships and even reconnect with their exes, but has also pushed people to try dating during the pandemic.
Even while common date spots like restaurants, bars and performance venues have shuttered across the country, people are still trying to meet new potential partners, which has been made all the easier with dating apps. Match Group, the parent company of Tinder, Hinge and OKCupid, reported an uptick in users in 2020 while its competitor Bumble said that it had more than 12 million active users around the world in September 2020.
But while people are exploring their options on dating apps, few are finding success in-person. Amelia Aldao, a clinical psychologist in New York City, said that many of her clients are struggling with finding things to do in person, especially in the winter months.
“People swipe in the app, they match, they text, but then it’s hard to take that next step of ‘OK, let’s do something’ because the number of things to do is actually quite limited,” she said.
Kasonga said she feels fortunate that she met her boyfriend right before lockdown began and was able to get to know him in-person. Friends who have been trying to date have found it difficult to make connections with stifled in-person interactions.
“You have to have a lot of trust in the person early on, which I think can be difficult to build just from online dating,” she said. “People talk about doing dates or FaceTime dates with people and not being able to get a full sense of who they are as a person, whether that be because of physical barriers – they’re wearing a mask and you can’t see their smile – or digital barriers, where it’s very hard to FaceTime someone you don’t really know.”
Even as couples work through issues driven by the pandemic, and people have difficulty finding love, Aldao said a bright spot she sees in the pandemic is its ability to give people perspective when thinking about which relationships matter most to them.
“A question I’ve been asking my clients is, ‘When things go back to normal and you date or you make new friends, ask yourself: is this the kind of person that I want to have around in my life if we have another lockdown?” she said.
“The more that we can try to anchor ourselves in this idea of being very purposeful about our relationships … it’s like emerging out of this with a sense of purpose.”

The story that the name nylon came from combining the names of New York and London has been around for a long time – almost as long as nylon itself. When DuPont resumed its polyester research, ICI had patented Terylene polyester, to which DuPont purchased the U.S. rights in 1945 for further development. Nylon is produced using a process called polymerizing. Much of the worlds nylon fibers are produced by China who produced 1.4m tones of nylon filament yarn in 2009. Polyamides produced from this monomer rely on 1,12-dodecanedioic acid prepared from petroleum-derived butadiene7 (see Figure 4), so such polymers are only partially bio-sourced, assuming that the diamine component is derived from renewable sources. The first threads were too weak to be woven into cloth. This plastic is then put through an intensive chemical process, resulting in the strong, stretchy fibres that make it so useful as a fabric. All Rights Reserved by wanttoknowit.com. Where Does Nylon Come From? Once this has been achieved the nylon thread can be woven into nylon fabric.

Nylon is one of the first synthetic fabrics. Wallace Carothers' discovery has certainly changed the way people live. Water is a key ingredient that causes a condensation reaction which results in chains of artificial polymers. Nylon is produced using a process called polymerizing. The semi-liquid nylon is then transferred to a spinneret which separates the molten nylon into thin threads. Nylon is a thermoplastic silky material that can be melt-processed into fibers, films, or shapes. It’s a good tale, and one with possibly even a little romance to it. Nylon polymers can be mixed with a wide variety of additives to achieve many different property variations. Finally, Carothers figured out how to remove all the water that was left over from the polymerizing process. Polyester fabric goes back to the Second World War, when two British scientists figured out how to make a new, cheap kind of cloth out of oil. Personally, I hope that as a society we can find ways for cotton to thrive on our soil, and also to be part of a future in which we are all more thoughtful about what we use. This is largely due to shale drilling, which has increased U.S. production of crude oil and natural gas. Where does denim come from?

This 3D video mapping was created for the large open-air exhibition “CUNEO PROVINCIA FUTURA” dedicated to the challenges of the planet. The exhibition was conceived and promoted by the Cassa di Risparmio di Cuneo Foundation, under the artistic direction of Alessandro Marrazzo. The ten installations scattered throughout the territory between Cuneo, Bra, Alba and Mondovì were inaugurated on 22 October 2021 for the duration of a month. Together with Luigi Sorbilli I conceived and designed the mapping and produced the video in computer graphics. We have been using different modeling, 3D animation, motion graphics and compositing software. The making of the video took us about a couple of months.

It was time to prepare ‘The Last Supper’ at The French House Party and after a morning creating chocolate sensations (in our own minds at least), we were back in our favourite kitchen with Jean-Marc, pen at the ready he showed us on paper what we were going to prepare.
How about Crab Crumble, Avocado, Papaya, Whipped Mustard Cream and Sorrel Shoots for starters, another lesson in flavours, cooking and food construction techniques.
So we made a Mayonnaise, and referred to the plans as we prepared the dish. As usual, nothing went to waste. Once we had prepared each item we then went about the construction, layers of Crab, Mustard Cream and the other items were carefully layered into an oblong ring. You will notice a red item on the top of the finished dish in the picture below, this is a ‘tomato crisp’. The Tomatoes we used to dress the side of the crumble were de-skinned in boiling water and the skins placed in a low oven to dry out completely, and they were really delicious, as was the finished dish, the Mustard Cream was unreal, the fruit balancing the taste.So on the main event Lightly Salted Cod in Aioli à La Languedocienne! For this we learnt (loose phrase) to turn vegetables, and very fiddly it was too. The Aiolli was problematic as we were running low on Eggs, we had one! A quick search in the fridge and a couple of yolks from the day before were discovered and we were on our way.It was an extremely tasty dish, despite all the effort to make the various elements, but the dessert was the ‘piece de resistance’, a Gateaux St. Honoré. I made some Choux Pastry with Gill whilst the others knocked up a Crème Patissière (Creme Pat, as we came to call it by this time)! Then there was the Puff Pastry Base, and the piping, oh, the piping.This was very testing indeed, home made Choux Buns dunked into Hot Caramel, filled with the Creme Pat, constructing Swans using a piping bag, it was baking and construction and everyone contributed to the elegant dessert, which was very very good.
And that was it!
The end of 5 days intensive cooking and baking with Laurent, Remi, Jean-Marc and Chocolates with Marion, interspersed with fine dining in the most amazing restaurants, and the odd tasting of the origins of Champagne at Limoux, the marathon was unfortunately over too soon.
So, that was my third trip to The French House Party, it won’t be my last, great fun, great people and always lots to learn it’s a home away from home, thank-you Moira and the team for putting on such a fantastic vacation.
…………………………..Until Next Time………………L8ers……………..
Ah, just one more thing!
When I was in New York Last year I had great intentions to hunt out the inventor of the Cronut, a mixup of of Croissant and Donut. I ran out of time and did not make it! I was on Instagram the other day and found Dominique Ansel has an outlet in London, so I will be visiting this fine establishment and testing said ‘Cronut’ as soon as I can!!

Now that I'm assigned to a year of language training, it’s time to settle in. I live in North Virginia, within the DC Metropolitan Area, and I have to admit that loving it here does not come easy to me.
My Sob Story
While I love being in the United States between tours, living in DC somehow presents formidable challenges.
The first time I moved there, in 2010, was the year of “Snowmaggedon” and the "Snowpocalypse." This sounds more dramatic than it was, but we were snowed in for weeks at a time and watched with horror (on TV) how the snow inflicted major problems around the area such as houses burning to the ground.
The second time I lived in DC, in 2013, was only for a few months. Unfortunately it was an extremely hot summer and I was in an advanced stage of pregnancy. I could barely go outside because of the suffocating heat.
The third time in DC almost worked out. I was going to stay for an entire year. But—lo and behold—I was put on bed rest due to pregnancy complications and was thus unable to explore much of the town or the beautiful nature surrounding it.
Biking to work
THIS time around, anno 2019, I want things to be different. I'm planning to finally see and appreciate this place. I bought a new bicycle so I can ride the tree-lined Old Dominion Trail to work. Never mind that I lost both keys to my theft-proof lock already—it’s going to be great! I also bought the fanciest child seat I could find so my 2-yo daughter can enjoy the rides too (once I find a locksmith to put me out of my misery).
I’m also taking every opportunity to get out of town. Not wasting any time before the summer ran out I already went hiking in Harpers Ferry, tubing down the Shenandoah River, salsa dancing in Rockville, Hookah smoking in Falls Church, shopping in Tysons Corner, and Korean BBQ and karaoke singing in Annandale. There are also several wineries in Virginia that require my presence soonest. Annapolis is another favorite, as is the Aquarium in Baltimore.
Once Fall hits, I'll take the kids to some of the awesome pumpkin patches in Maryland and Virigina; we might go picking apples in nearby orchards; and we'll definitely be visiting the many lush green parks—and hitting up those fancy playgrounds in Arlington and Falls Church.
Not that there is nothing to do inside DC itself, of course. Here are some of my favorites:
Running at the Mall has always been one of my favorite activities—especially when followed by brunch on Capitol Hill.
Hiking in Rock Creek Park is the perfect city-getaway. You can do an uninterrupted 9-mile hike in the shade!
Discovering new hangouts for drinks and food is always an option in DC, but I'll also be sure to visit to Poets & Busboys for some coffee and book shopping, eat crab at the Old Ebbit Grill next to the White House, and go to some of the great restaurants on 14th Street (Le Diplomate being one of them!).
Grabbing the chance to go to at least of handful of DC's wonderful theaters, including seeing low-key plays at 4615 Theater, whatever is playing at the Shakespeare Theater, and seeing bigger productions at the Kennedy Center (or the weekly free shows when cash is running low).
Ice-skating rinks! Once a Dutch person, always a Dutch person.
Enjoying DC shouldn't be hard. Even more so because diplomats in language training—for reasons that still elude me—are not allowed to take any days off for vacation. Without anything besides a long weekend I’ll be taking German language lessons every day until I pass the dreaded language test some time in May 2020.
It’s going to be a long year, but I plan to make it a good one!

“We’re here, Kilala” Sango softly announced as the two companions crested the hill and looked out upon the small clearing.
With Kagome’s coming exams, the Inuyasha group had decided to take a short break from hunting the shards. The miko had returned to her own time to cram several weeks of into a few days, Inuyasha and Shippo and taken it upon themselves to stay at the well should she return early, and Miroku had gone to visit his perverse master during the vacation.
Sango and Kilala had also separated from the group, but for a more somber reason. She had requested her friends not ask her destination, and they had hesitantly allowed her leave with only their usual parting farewells. The tajiki did not want the pity-filled expressions she had seen too many times to appear on her friends’ faces, and she knew they would come had she told them of her journey.
Sango had decided to return to her village for a solitary reunion.
After a few days walk she had reached the edge of her family’s ancestral lands and her heart had both lifted and fell at the short distance which remained. Kilala had reacted with an encouraging call and they had moved forward toward the village.
Her sorrow met her at the gates.
The houses, charred from the fire, stood as frozen testaments to the end of her clan. The walls which remained had begun to decay and the roofs which had survived were collapsing upon the houses. The trees from the surrounding forest were beginning to reclaim the land as shoots were scattered about the stone walks which had led to front porches.
The village was silent as the graves which stood at the far end of the fence as the two companions entered through what remained of the front gates. Though the rain had fallen many times since their departure, here and there were still visible the signs of a violent end as dark blood stains littered the wood and rocks.
Sango took in the view, and her heart tightened in sadness as she finally reached the place she had once called home.
The great doors were broken and the shojo screens were now in tatters as she walked up to the rotting structure. Out of habit she left her shoes upon the ground, though her socks were quickly covered in filth as she walked up the weathered steps onto the open porch. She stepped into the main room of the home and found herself not in the comforting home she so fondly remembered, but within a space which no longer held the memories she knew.
The mats were filled with mold spores and a great cloud of dust came up as she stepped along the floor coverings. The walls showed the bugs which had infested the wood and spots of sun drifted into the room through the holes.
As she explored the house, Sango looked at the small details she had noticed as a child and as she found each of her treasured memories her heart grew more at ease. The notch in the main beam stood proudly surrounded by the termite damage, while her favorite screen lay untouched while the others had fallen apart. The sun still showed through the dining room, but now leaves were scattered across the floor and bugs lay dead in the corners.
Everything was changed, and yet not.
Sango soon found her steps directed toward the room she had once shared with her brother, and as she stepped through the tattered screen her sorrow was rekindled.
Two small mats lay in the center of the room, one larger than the other. They had been the sitting mats Kohaku and she had used to discuss the day’s training, and she had forgotten to place them in the closet the day of the village’s silence.
Now they stood as testaments to a time when such trivial chores had been what she had known, and her world had been a daily routine of familial duties. They were the same as the rest of the village; forgotten and slowly withering away against harsh time and change.
Kilala meowed softly as her master merely stood staring at the two mats. Sango was aroused by the concerned tone and she shook her head to calm the youkai’s fears.
“No, it’s okay” she softly answered as she placed her bag on the ground and took her pail in hand. “We should get some water before the sun sets.”
The two lonely warriors took the familiar path down to the stream, though the way was now clouded by weeds and dense brush. They fought their way to the water and, after taking their needed amount, returned back the way they had come as the sun beyond began to set.
“Perhaps tomorrow we will visit their graves” Sango quietly suggested to her companion as they arrived at the large, dark house.
Shadows spread out across the ground as they walked up the steps and toward the room which would be their sleeping quarters. The familiar sights which had before given such comfort were now hidden by the darkness as they passed through the rooms. Sango quickly readied the simple meal of soup as she also lit the andon she had carried in her pack.
The small, paper lamp did little to illuminate the corners of the room, but the flame gave her spirits some comfort as she ate her soup in silence. Kilala appeared to be curled up next to her, but every so often her ears which twitch with awareness.
Her supper was soon finished and Sango spread herself out upon the blanket on the floor. For the longest time she merely stared at the ceiling and listened to the sounds of mice scurrying about beneath the boards and insects crawling along the floor. The musty smell of the mold and decay tickled her nose in a grotesque manner and all about she was reminded of the fallen village.
But she could recall better times when such a night would have been filled with laughter and celebration. A group of tajiki would have returned from a successful hunt and brought their trophy back to the village in a simple but proud procession. The scent of burning andon would have wafted through the air as the adults would have given honor to the great hunters, and children from their bedroom windows would have been swinging bells in their own little celebration.
Sango suddenly stopped her musing as a familiar sound rang in her ears. She raised herself onto her elbows and strained her hearing, wondering if she had merely imagined the sound.
Again it came.
The tiny ding of a single bell again sounded through the suddenly still night.
Kilala had also raised her head and was quietly growling as she looked to the door.
“What is it, Kilala?” Sango asked as she and her youkai stood to their feet.
The chiming seemed to grow dimmer, and she quickly picked up her hiraikotsu which she had wisely brought and ran from the room. The small chime was still weakening as she raced outside the building, but she could still follow the sound as she placed her shoes on and sprinted out among the houses.
Kilala followed at her side in her large form and she was still quietly growling beneath her breath. The two hunters darted amidst the village along a winding path that led them past the graves of the dead and through a little-used gate which led out into the thick forest.
At the edge of the trees, upon a spot overgrown with brush and grass, the sound suddenly stopped.
Sango looked around for any signs of the strange bell sound, but Kilala continued to stare ahead and appeared to be softly hissing at the ground a few yards from where they stood.
“Can you sense something?” Sango asked as she took a step forward.
As she moved ahead the neko youkai suddenly let out a giant yowl and a small light appeared not more than a few feet away. The tajiki readied her hiraikotsu as she awaited an attack, but she was shocked to find a small, old man standing within a small radius of light.
And she could see through his body.
“Down there, youkai” the man commanded in a powerful tone as he scowled at the neko.
With his appearance Kilala had jumped between the stranger and her master, and she was vehemently hissing at the man as he stood unimpressed by her show of loyalty.
“A shame upon our family to hold such a beast” he muttered as his eyes were cast to Sango. “Why do you keep such a creature?” he harshly questioned.
“That is none of your concern” Sango replied as she found her composure. She could not turn from the transparent stranger, but his words brought life to her mind. “What are you? Some sort of youkai?”
The man frowned at her final question.
“Do not insult me” he snapped, but his composure quickly returned. “My name is Arashi, and I was once human like yourself.”
“Once?” she repeated with suspicion as he gave a frustrated sigh.
“My body died several hundred years ago” he explained to the disbelief of his audience.
“Then why are you not at rest?” Sango questioned as Kilala grew restless before her.
“Because there is a curse upon me” he revealed as he suddenly stepped forward.
Kilala let out a giant yell and jumped at the strange to protect her master, and both Sango and herself were shocked as she sailed through the figure. He seemed unaware of the neko’s leap and rushed toward Sango.
The tajiki swung her hiraikotsu to knock the man aside but the bone merely passed through his head and she found herself locked in his grasp as he grabbed her shoulders. She dropped her hiraikotsu as his cold fingers dug into her simple clothing and a chill as cold as ice swept through her body. She struggled to free herself but found his grip to be unbreakable.
The neko youkai swiftly turned and charged toward the man attacking her friend, the flames of her tails high in anger.
“No Kilala!” Sango ordered as she tried to find breath through the cold. She turned her eyes upon the former human who held her in a grip she could not escape. “What do you want?” she asked as she relaxed her body to ease the discomfort.
“Release” he pleaded in a tone weaker than he had held. “We all need release.”
“We?” she questioned, but her query was quickly answered.
The forest was lit with soft light as dozens of people suddenly began to pour forth from the trees. Their faces were filled with sorrow as they silently crowded around the three main characters. Kilala looked about in confusion as she sniffed the air and found nothing to follow, yet her gaze told her these people were present.
Sango, however, noticed in horror that amidst the many strangers she could recognize the residents of her village, from those who had died of natural causes to those who had fallen in battle.
“What magic is this?!” she questioned as the man barked out a cold laugh. “They are dead!”
“It is not magic, but a curse” he explained as his grip tightened upon her arms and she grimaced from the cold chills. “You are the only one who can free us of this hateful promise.”
“What promise?” Sango asked in confusion as his words made little sense to her.
“The promise we made during our lives” he began as his hands began to loosen upon her shoulders. His face showed the wear of the centuries as he shook his head. “It was for the good of the village that we made this promise, but now we cannot rid ourselves of it!”
“You are making no sense!” Sango yelled in frustration as the man grimaced.
“Then listen well” he suddenly calmly commanded as he let go and stepped back. Sango rubbed her arms and nodded for him to continue. “This happened during the youth of the village. We had been ordered by one of our first clients to rid a large area of a powerful youkai, and with arrogance we foolishly accepted the mission. The journey was long but finally we managed to track the beast and meet him in open battle.
And then we knew our folly, for he was stronger than we could handle.”
He shook his head in sorrow, but continued his tale.
“The youkai destroyed most of us without effort, and what few remained were too injured to fight” he explained as he lowered his head in shame. “Our leader could think of nothing else but to barter with the monster but at the first the beast would take nothing we had to offer, until one final, desperate suggestion was made.
In exchange for our lives, we would give the daughter of the clan leader’s family to the youkai.”
Sango drew back in disgust at the retelling of their cowardice, and Arashi showed a hint of a smile as he understood her emotions.
“We would have given our souls to the beast in exchange for our lives had we been able” the old man admitted. “But his interest was great and the oath was given upon the mixing of blood between our leader and the beast. The youkai would have it no other way.”
Sango’s hands were coiled into fists at her sides as she shook with the story of her ancestors. She could hardly believe whether the tale was slander or true, but the ghostly group which stood around her held testament to its certainty.
“And what did you do to the daughter?” she asked in a voice which trembled.
“We were to meet the lord at the site of the blood-oath” the ghost explained as he seemed to ponder his memories. “But his never showed. We simply returned to the village and blessed our good fortune.”
“But the oath still existed” Sango deduced and the man nodded.
“As we died we became as you see us, spirits trapped to the village” he admitted with a heavy sigh. “We cannot leave without fulfilling the oath.” His eyes then turned hard and he looked to Sango. “The oath given by your ancestor.”
“My ancestor?” she softly repeated in disbelief as she shook her head.
“Your clan has always held the title of leader, correct?” he spoke aloud without expecting an answer. “And with you as the last of our village, we have come to show you your duty to your people” he spoke as the rest slowly nodded in agreement. “You must offer your services to the house of the youkai, or we will never find rest.”
“How can I believe this?” Sango questioned in suspicion as she slowly reached down and took her hiraikotsu in hand. The slain villagers, the unbelievable story, she could not trust such foolish tales. “What if you’re lying me?” she asked as she raised her weapon in readiness.
“I am afraid not, my child” a person suddenly spoke from the crowd of people.
Sango’s eyes widened at the sound of the voice as a figure stepped from the throng. Tears filled her eyes as she tentatively moved forward.
“F...father?” she asked as she watched the figure of her father smile at her word.
“I am afraid so” he replied as he moved to stand not more than a few feet from his child. “And I am also afraid that Arashi speaks the truth.”
Sango barely heard what her father spoke as she reached a shaking hand toward his transparent figure. Her father whom she had never expected to see again, the man who she had always looked up to, was here before her eyes.
“Is it...is it really you?” she begged to know as she took a step forward.
As she moved his figure flickered, as did all the group surrounding Kilala and her. She looked around in confusion as their forms slowly began to fade from her sight, and she frantically turned to her father.
“What’s happening?!” she exclaimed as her father smiled sadly.
“We have little time here in the living world” he explained as he held up a hand in a farewell gesture. “But please remember what you have been told tonight. We wait for your decision with hopeful hearts.”
Her father’s outline was barely visible as she spoke, and Sango rushed forward to grasp his hand. She could only catch air, however, as his figure seemed to flicker against the wind and she found herself moving through where he had stood.For a single moment, though, Sango felt his presence and a sense of warmth washed over her as she was comforted by his lingering spirit. But the joy did not last long. What remained of her father slowly faded into the void of death and she was again left alone and isolated on that night of cursed spirits.

To say there were a lot of cool GM cars at the 2016 SEMA Show would bit a bit of an understatement. It seemed there were nice GM classics of all descriptions everywhere you turned. Many of them were built using OPGI parts, too. Here’s a look at just a few of the many clean vintage GM cars that stood out at the Show this year.
Hector Cisneros (Owner) and his crew at Bill Dunn One Stop Shop, located in Huntington Beach, completely overhauled this 1964 Pontiac LeMans; from exterior to interior!
Coker Tire president and COO Wade Kawasaki’s popular 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge was back at the Show a second time after its debut in 2015. The Coker GTO features a complete restoration using OPGI parts – performed by Bodie Stroud Restorations.
Reiss Racing in Escondido, California used OPGI parts to build its very clean and very high-powered 1972 Chevelle SS.
Dave Harter’s ’70 Chevelle SS is one of a rare few GM pilot cars in existence. A “pilot car” is a car assembled by the factory in front of the regular run of production cars. They were designed for pre-production testing and development and were hand-built, non-numbers-matching vehicles. Dave Harter’s Chevelle SS is one of just 49 pilot Chevelles built for the 1970 model year. It is estimated that out of the 49 cars built, Dave’s is one of a scant dozen that were made available to the public after testing. Some have theorized that Dave’s Chevelle could be the only SS Pilot Car left in existence, and that makes it pretty rare!
Chevrolet Chevrolet Performance built this clean Chevelle featuring an LT376 engine, which is a crate version of the 2017 Camaro’s LT1. The engine is rated at 535 hp and is backed by a Chevrolet Performance 4L75E four-speed automatic transmission.
The 1965 Buick Riviera in the Automotive Restoration Market Organization (ARMO) booth is powered by a Chevrolet 502 powerplant backed by a Tremec 5-speed transmission. Other notable features include an Art Morrison front clip, Currie Enterprises rear control arms and rear end, and Alloway custom 5-spoke wheels by Billet Specialties.
Many of OPGI’s aftermarket vendors and suppliers were also at the SEMA Show this year and had their own displays. OPGI’s General Manager of Operations, Corey Reuter, was on hand to meet with suppliers in the booth. Below Corey is shown with representatives from Restoration Parts Unlimited Inc. (RPUI) discussing the Trim Parts, PUI and SoffSeal lines carried by OPGI.
Here is a shot of the pulleys, brackets and serpentine systems on display at the March Performance booth.
Classic Performance Products (CPP) was also on hand and displayed their “Week to Wicked” 1967 project Chevelle that went from stock to a full-on pro-touring car in just one week.
