During world War 2, a consortium was formed by Howard Hughes and Henry Kaiser to create a giant, wooden, flying boat transport. The airplane was designated HK-1 for the Hughes-Kaiser consortium. After Henry Kaiser left the project the designation of the wooden aircraft was changed to H-4. Later, a contest held among Hughes Aircraft employees produced the name Hercules. Hughes did not like the name Hercules, nor did he appreciate the phrase Spruce Goose. He always referred to the airplane as the Flying Boat.
The wooden buildings in which its components were constructed were the largest in the world at the time. They still stand at the old Hughes Airport property.
Most of the wood used in the construction of the Flying Boat was Birch. The nails used to hold its wooden components in place were removed once the glue set.
Considerable controversy surrounded its funding. The government funded the original project, which called for one prototype Flying Boat and the production of two additional aircraft. The original government contract budgeted $18 million for three aircraft; however Hughes infused $7 million of his own capital into the project. Only one flying boat was completed. It was flown once in 1947, then it was returned to its hangar, where it remained for thirty-three years. It was carefully stored, maintained almost as an active aircraft until 1980. Each month its engines were run up. An extensive air conditioning system maintained a carefully controlled environment for the wooden behemoth.
The Flying Boat was removed from its hangar on October 29, 1980. For two days it floated in Los Angeles Harbor before it was lifted onto a temporary storage area on shore. On February 10, 1982 it was lifted from its storage location onto a barge. The next morning it was floated across the harbor to a giant geodesic dome to be displayed by the Wrather Corporation.
Wingspan: 320 feet
Length: 219 feet
Wing Area: 11,430 square feet
Maximum Take-off Weight: 400,000 pounds
Maximum Cargo Payload: 130,000 pounds
Powerplant: 8x 3,000 hp Pratt & Whitney R4360-4, 28 cylinder radials
The hangar housing Howard Hughes' giant Flying Boat still stood in July 1980. The airplane had narrowly escaped being distributed to nine air museums when Wrather Corporation purchased it with the intent of creating a tourist attraction adjacent to the Queen Mary in Long Beach Harbor.
The Hughes Flying Boat suffered damage when the original hangar flooded in September 1953. This larger hangar was constructed around the Flying Boat.
Watch for this picture to appear in the History Channel production Man, Moment, Machine.
Much of the hangar of the Hughes Flying Boat was removed by October 26, 1980 in preparation for floating the airplane out of the building. Wrather corporation had ordered that large plastic tarps be hung in front of the Flying Boat to obstruct the view of bay tour boats. Ducting can be seen for the air conditioning system that kept the environment of the Flying Boat within a narrow temperature range.
The vertical stabilizer of the Hughes Flying Boat can be seen protruding from the partially disassembled hangar on the morning of October 29, 1980.
Subsidence resulting from the extraction of petroleum from the area had lowered the hangar to the point that the floating of the Flying Boat had to be timed to coincide with low tide to allow the tail to clear the hangar roof.
October 29, 1980, the Hughes Flying Boat floats out of its hangar for the first time since 1947.
Howard Hughes' Flying Boat emerges from its hangar after thirty-three years. This picture will also appear in the History Channel production Man, Moment, Machine.

Since its only flight, the Hughes Flying Boat has had R-4360-TSB-3G engines of increased horespower installed, been painted white, and its registration has been changed from NX37602 to N37602.

The Flying Boat continues to wait as one of the cranes breaks through the hangar floor and sinks into the saturated ground underneath.
This view of the Hughes Flying Boat shows how aerodynamically clean the design of its fuselage was.
Herman the German, a four hundred ton capacity crane seized from Germany at the end of World War 2, is on hand to lift the Hughes Flying Boat out of the water and set her onshore to be stored for the next year.
A nervous group confers on the wing of the Hughes Flying Boat at sunset. The plan had not included leaving the wooden hull in the water overnight.
Sunlight glints from the wings of the Hughes Flying Boat on the morning of October 30, 1980. The flying boat's cradle has been recovered and is suspended from Herman the German.
The cradle of the Hughes Flying Boat has been set on the floor of the harbor. The Flying Boat has been floated into place.
Later in the afternoon, as scuba divers are attaching the cradle to the cables of the crane, a Lykes Lines cargo ship enters the harbor beyond the Hughes Flying Boat.

Herman the German lifted the Hughes Flying Boat onshore during the night. It is seen here sitting on its cradle on the morning of October 31, 1980. A protective cover was placed over it, and it waited something over a year for its new display location on Pier J to be prepared.

Howard Hughes' giant Flying Boat, the Spruce Goose, floated out of the hangar it resided inside for thirty-three years into Los Angeles Harbor on October 29, 1980. It took two days to pick it up with Herman the German and place it on land for temporary storage. On February 10, 1982, it was lifted onto a barge for transportation to the geodesic dome where it was displayed to the public for eleven years.Put a copy of the Spruce Goose 2016 calendar in your Lulu.com shopping cart for $14.95.

Link to a page describing the Evergreen Aviation Museum which is restoring the Hughes Flying Boat for display in McMinnville, Oregon.
Barrett Hochaus built a radio-controlled model of Howard Hughes giant Flying Boat, popularly known as the Spruce Goose, with a wing span of nearly ten feet. It is powered by four electric motors. Despite its large size, it wieghs less than seven pounds. It made its maiden flight at the Gilbert Rodeo Grounds on Saturday, January 22, 2011.
I am engaged in an ongoing email exchange with an individual who is convinced that I did not take these pictures of the move of Howard Hughes giant flying boat.
Since you require folks to get permission to use your photographs, did you get permission to use someone elses pictures i.e. of the Spruce Goose move in Long Beach? Thanks
I do not need anyone's permission to use those pictures of the move of Howard Hughes' giant flying boat because I took every one of them myself.
Whenever I use a picture taken by another photographer, I get permission and give full credit to that photographer. I expect, but frequently do not receive, the same courtesy from others.
Thank you for responding. If you took each of these pictures yourself, you had to have permissioin from someone to be in the locations you were in to take them. Since I was in charge of the entire Move, and have all of the release signatures approving all photography within the controlled spaces of the move, I don't seem to have a document which identifies you. Could you please clarify.
I took those pictures, and I did not need your permission to take them.
Thank you for the clarification of your procedure regarding pictures you use that you do not take. Your previous e-mail states you took all of the pictures. In receipt of this last e-mail, I found difficulty understanding just exactly what you did, since I am looking at our negatives and original photos of some of your pictures which we took as a function of the move.
Are you implying that my pictures of the move of the flying boat were taken by another photographer? I have all of the original slides of those pictures. They will not be found among your negatives.
This becomes more curious as we discuss it. We shall see. My "negatives" are slides as well. That is how we had our negatives mounted.
There is nothing curious about it. You will not find a single match between your slides and my photos, much less find matches for all of my photos.
Your position is clear, not necessarily correct, but clear. We'll investigate further. There is obviously more to this than your willing, at this time, to admit. The exact same pictures, taken from the same exact location, at the exact same time, from our vessels with AUTHORIZED personnel only, has created this question.
Thank you for your responses.
My position is correct and clear. There is nothing for me to admit. I took those pictures of the move of the flying boat. I have the original slides. None of those pictures was taken from a vessel.
I challenge you to identify any photo of the move of the flying boat that is displayed on my web site that you believe I did not take. I will show you the original slide.
I am not lying about taking those pictures. I resent your baseless accusations and unsupportable threats. This email exchange is a waste of my time.
Who owns the negatives that you referred to? Are you employed by them? Who is your boss and what is his phone number?
Followed up with:
Here is a photograph of a page of my original slides, with annotation, of the move of the flying boat.
You will not find any of these photos among your negatives.
Okay, there is my evidence. How about showing me some evidence to back up your accusation that I am a liar?
Just so you are not under any false illusions, I am the BOSS, President and Owner of the Company totally responsible for the Move you photographed.
Now we agree that I took the pictures of the Move that appear on my web site and I am not displaying any of your photos on my web site.
As the man says, we shall see.
Send a message to Brian.

Good news.
Jurgen Klopp has just been given an extension to his touchline ban, so he will not be able to dish out instructions to his players from the bench when they play us at the Emirates. According to UEFA rules, he will not even be able to get into the dressing room at half time and can not use gadgets to communicate with other coaching staff.
Although Dortmund were always going to be difficult to beat on current form, not having the manager on the bench will go a long way in helping us secure the 3 points from the game.

Play-Doh Makeables are small Play-Doh kits that come with everything kids need to mold three creations. The Primary Pets kit comes with six colorful sticks of Play-Doh compound, a plastic knife, and step-by-step instructions for making a dog, a cat, and a bowl of food.
This basic Play-Doh kit will engage kids in creative play as they make the animals shown or come up with their own Play-Doh creations. Its compact size makes it good for taking on the go.
Play-Doh Makeables Primary Pets is for ages 3 and up.
The instructions are not always very clear and may be a little confusing for younger kids.
Also, the plastic Play-Doh Color Sticks pouches are not resealable. If you want to keep your Play-Doh from drying out once you've opened a pouch, you'll need to place it in an airtight container when not in use. We think this weakens the toy's repeat play value, and perhaps this kit is best for a time when a quick-use, disposable Play-Doh experience is desired.
Additional Play-Doh Makeables themes include Aqua Ocean Adventure and Berry Bright Bakery. Each is sold separately.
Play-Doh contains wheat.

This is a repeat of hike done in July 2012. You can see the photos from the previous hike here.
Other hikers can meet 9:15am at Brewar's Ponderosa Lodge and then continue drive north a little way and turn left onto 21-S78 towards Quaker Meadow Camp and park near the trail.
Slate Mountain is the highest point in the Ponderosa area at about 9300 feet. The moderate to strenuous hike will be along a portion of the Summit Trail. The total distance is 10.5 miles round trip and the elevation gain is 2245 feet on a forested trail. For those of you with less experience, that means a lot of uphill!
There will be an optional visit to the 100 Giants directly adjacent to our return trip home on the Western Divide Hwy. There is a $5 parking fee per vehicle.

Definition of homophone in English:
1Each of two or more words having the same pronunciation but different meanings, origins, or spelling (e.g. new and knew).
Example sentences
- But there are huge numbers of homophones that are also homographs: pen 'writing implement', pen 'enclosure for animals', and pen 'penitentiary', to choose a textbook example.
- Over time, the computer program learned to produce the correct meanings and pronunciations for almost all the words, including homophones such as 'plane' and 'plain.'
- In my own pronunciation, for example, latter and ladder are homophones, unless I'm trying hard to convey the distinction.

In predicted order of finish
Lena-Winslow Panthers
Coach: Ric Arand (18th season)
Last season: 6-2, 11-3
Last playoff appearance: 2013
Returning starters: TE/LB Luke Schubert (Sr., 6-3, 215); TE/DB Colton Drye (Sr., 6-1, 160); OL Dyllan Oberle (Sr., 6-1, 200); OL/DL Alan Myelle (Sr., 6-3, 270); OL/DL Anthony Martinez (Sr., 5-6, 210); RB/DL Ben Schubert (Sr., 6-1, 180); RB/LB Jace Oleson (Sr., 5-8, 145); OL Joe Milliken (Jr., 6-3, 255); LB Brendan Eilders (Jr., 5-8, 170);
Other key players: QB/DB Joe Robinson (Jr., 5-10, 170); RB/DL Chris Stockton (Jr., 5-9, 175)
Strengths: Talented, experienced core returning; Overall bigger and faster team than last season.
Weaknesses: Varsity numbers down. Significant injuries could have big impact.
Note: The defending 1A state champs have enough coming back to make them a major factor again in the stacked NUIC-Northwest.
Eastland-PC Wildcats
Coach: Randy Asche (8th year)
Last season: 7-0, 10-1
Last playoff appearance: 2013
Top returnees: Deven Heeren (Sr., QB/LB); Walter Ollie (Sr. RB/WR/SS); Cody KLuck (Sr., WR/DB); Don Groezinger (Sr., RB/DB); Eric Schaney (Sr. RB/LB); Austin Fischer (Sr., OL/DL); Jared Gaughan (Sr., OL/DL); Chase Giedd (Sr., OL/LB)
Key newcomers: Dillon Baldauf (Jr., OL/DL): Michael Sheriff (Sr., OL/LB); Brighton Haverland (So., TE/LB)
Strengths: Experience with 12 starters back from a team that averaged over 44 points per game and allowed just over 13; Good system that has produced six or more wins seven straight years; QB and RB
Weaknesses: Defense lost seven starters.
Note: The Wildcats have high aspirations, including an NUIC-Northwest title and a deep playoff run. And with the talent on offense and a quick learning curve on defense, they could very well reach both goals.
Forreston Cardinals
Coach: Denny Diduch (7th season)
Last season: 5-2, 7-3
Last playoff appearance: 2013
Returning starters: Keegan Akins (WR/DB 6'3 165 Sr.); Logan Bagley (RB/LB 6'1 165 Sr.); Max Barkalow (RB/LB 5'11 195 Sr.); D.J. Blatter (OL/DL 5'10 195 Sr.); Aiden Carr (OL/DL 6'3 255 Sr.); Spencer Cruthis (RB/LB 5'11 210 1Sr.); Jacob Cunningham, (OL/DL 6'0 240 Sr.); Robert Devries (QB/DB 6'3 195 Sr.); Dylan Hensley (OL/DL 6'3 230 Sr.); Kendall Kuelling (OL/DL 6'2 220 Sr.); Daniel Ludwig (RB/LB 5'10 175 Sr.,); Kaleb Reining (RB/DB 6'1 165 Sr.); Aaron Shelton (RB/DB 5'10 150 Sr.); Brady Bronkema (OL/DL 6'2 255 Jr.)
Other key players: Wyatt Kerchner (WR/DB 6'3 165 Sr.); Logan Rogers (RB/DB 5'10 150 Jr.)
Strengths: Senior experience, and depth at key positions.
Weaknesses: Maintaining focus every play.
Note: The Cardinals have a ton of talent and strength in the skill positions and the line. They are contenders for the NUIC Northwest crown, but it is crowded at the top and will have to play near perfect games week in and week out in this deep conference.
Galena Pirates
Coach: Ed Freed (12th season)
Last season: 5-2, 8-3
Last playoff appearance: 2013
Returning starters: Logan Mackey (Sr., 6-0, 298, OT/DL); Adam Gronewold (Sr., 6-3, 235, OG/LB); James McIntyre (Sr. 5-11, 195, OG/DL); Ryon Foley (Jr., 6-2, 230, C); Bruce Scharpf (Jr., 6-0, 185, RB/DB); Alex Peebles (Sr., 6-0, 165, WR/DB); Ethan Sasek (Jr., 5-11, 175, RB/LB); Ben Hulscher (Sr., 5-10, 170, DB); Calvin Karberg (Sr. 6-2, 185, DE);

Strengths: Offensive line; skill positions; defensive line and secondary.
Weaknesses: None listed.
Note: The Pirates have lost in the second round of the playoffs the last two years and Freed believes this is the group to get them past that. There is a lot of returning talent throughout the roster.
Dakota Indians
Coach: Rick Schmitz (1st year)
Last season: 3-4, 3-6
Last playoff appearance: 2007
Key players: Austin Cashman (Sr., QB/DB, 5-11, 155); Travis Kortemeier (Sr., RB/LB, 5-10, 187); Neil Bregger (Sr., TE/DB, 5-10, 157); Gavin Engelbrecht (Sr., FB/LB, 5-9, 178); Nathaniel Smith (Sr., HB/DB, 5-8, 151); Luke Geiseman (Sr. C/DT, 6-1, 248); Daniel VanFleet (Sr., TE/DE, 6-3, 175)
Strengths: Toughness; Work ethic; Cohesiveness.
Weaknesses: Physical size; Depth
Note: Schmitz, who has had some success in the past in the NIC-10, takes over a storied program from longtime coach Jerry Lano. His expectation is, "to get better each day so we have an opportunity at the end of the season to control our destiny."
Durand Bulldogs
Coach: Dennis Schwab (2nd season)
Last season: 0-8, 0-9
Last playoff appearance: 2011
Top returnees: TE/LB Evan Neblock (Sr., 5-11, 175); RB/DB Chance Manning (Sr., 5-5, 145); OL/DL Eli Burdick (Sr., 6-3, 255); RB/LB Shane Vellender (Sr., 5-10, 180); OL/DL Ian Alberstett (Sr., 6-1, 210); RB/LB Jake Heller (Sr., 5-10, 170)
Key newcomers: RB/LB Dennis Lunde (Jr., 5-11, 165); RB/DB Aldair Alvarez (Jr., 5-8, 150); OL/DL Reece Palmer (Jr., 5-11, 165); E/LB Jake Starnes (Jr, 6-0, 210)
Strengths: Return six starters on offense and defense … Solid group of juniors also has varsity experience.
Weaknesses: Low numbers … Lack size and could be overmatched against bigger opponents.
Note: Another rebuilding year is in store for the Bulldogs, who will try to improve from week to week and hopefully find the win column a few times after not doing so in 2013.
South Beloit Sobos
Coach: Justin Gumm (1st season)
Last season: 1-6, 2-7

West Carroll Thunder
Coach: Michael Bicksler (4th year)
Last season: 2-5, 3-6
Last playoff appearance: 2007
Top returnees: Mason van Hook (QB/FS); Stephen Santeramo (WR/CB)
Key newcomers: Aaron Ritenour (FB/FS); Jake Miller (RB/FS); Ethan Mangler (QB/LB); Eric LaShelle (RB/LB); Salvador Magana (WR/CB)
Strengths: Unity; Work ethic.
Weaknesses: A lot of youth; depth; deep and talented conference
Note: Bicksler calls it "another challenging year." The key will be to win a couple of games that they are not expected to win to get a playoff shot. There is strong senior leadership, which always points teams in the right direction.
Lena-Winslow's first state title in 2010 raised expectations, so it's not hard to imagine what their second one will do.
With a strong group returning, the Panthers will likely be a serious player again in what figures to be a very competitive NUIC-Northwest. But time will tell if Le-Win will be good enough to challenge for a third state title.
"Every year is a little bit different," Le-Win coach Ric Arand said. "First and foremost you have to build leadership with the kids that you have coming back, and then from there it's kind of how they all mesh together.
"We've got a good mesh of juniors and seniors, so even though we lost a lot of quality kids, I think we have some pretty good kids coming back. I think what it's going to come down to is how the leadership is developed and if we can stay injury free."
Le-Win's program as a whole looks to be as strong as ever, with 60 kids on board this season. But only 23 of them are juniors and seniors, so Arand is concerned about his team staying as healthy as possible.
"Our overall numbers are up but our varsity numbers are down," Arand said. "We've got to stay away from the key injuries."
The Panthers' depth might be put to the test once they get into the meat of their conference schedule, beginning in Week 5. In a four-week stretch of games that should show just what Le-Win is made of, the team will take on Eastland/Pearl City, Forreston, Galena and Aquin.
"Teams that could be the next representative in the state championship game as far as I'm concerned," Arand said. "We have to get to that point first, but once we're into those games, we have to make the best of it and try to get a couple of wins out of that."
The Panthers return nine total starters from their state champion squad, including senior tight end/linebacker Luke Schubert, who came up especially big in the postseason.
"We're looking to him a lot and hopefully he's one of those guys who can step up and be a leader for us," Arand said.
Seniors Colton Drye (TE/DB), Dyllan Oberly (OL), Allan Myelle (OL), Ben Schubert, Anthony Martinez (OL/DL), Jace Oleson (RB/LB) and juniors Joe Milliken (OL) and Brendan Eilders (LB) will also be relied upon as experienced returning starters. Meanwhile, junior Joe Robinson has the task of trying to fill the shoes of Ben Moest as the team's new signal caller.
Page 2 of 2 - Arand believes his team will not only be bigger, but also faster overall than last year's group. Those strengths will come in handy playing in such a competitive conference, where opponents will be ready to give the Panthers their best shot, but not just because they won it all a year ago.
"I think those rivalries exist no matter what," Arand said. "I don't think anybody's looking at us like: 'We've got to beat them, they're the defending state champs.' I think just the competitiveness of the conference year in and year out is motivation enough."

Working more than 20 hours a week in high school found harmful
Many teens work part-time during the school year, and in the current economic climate, more youths may take jobs to help out with family finances. But caution is advised: Among high school students, working more than 20 hours a week during the school year can lead to academic and behavior problems. That's the finding of a new study by researchers at the University of Washington, University of Virginia, and Temple University. It appears in the January/February issue of the journal, Child Development.
In a reanalysis of longitudinal data collected in the late 1980s, researchers examined the impact of getting a job or leaving work among middle-class teens in 10th and 11th grades. Drawing from the full sample of about 1,800 individuals, the researchers compared adolescents who got jobs to similar teens who didn't work, and adolescents who left jobs to similar teens who kept working.
Using advances in statistical methods, the researchers matched the teens on a long list of background and personality characteristics that are known to influence whether or not a young person chooses to work; using this technique allowed more certainty in estimating the effects of working on adolescents' development than in the original analysis of the data.
The researchers found that working for more than 20 hours a week was associated with declines in school engagement and how far adolescents were expected to go in school, and increases in problem behavior such as stealing, carrying a weapon, and using alcohol and illegal drugs. They also found that things didn't get better when teens who were working more than 20 hours a week cut back their hours or stopped working altogether. In contrast, working 20 hours or less a week had negligible academic, psychological, or behavioral effects.
"Working part-time during the school year has been a fixture of American adolescence for more than 30 years," notes Kathryn C. Monahan, a postdoctoral research scientist at the University of Washington, who led the study. "Today, a substantial proportion of American high school students hold part-time jobs during the school year, and a large number of them work more than 20 hours each week.
"Although working during high school is unlikely to turn law-abiding teenagers into felons or cause students to flunk out of school, the extent of the adverse effects we found is not trivial, and even a small decline in school engagement or increase in problem behavior may be of concern to many parents," she adds.
The bottom line, suggests Monahan: "Parents, educators, and policymakers should monitor and constrain the number of hours adolescents work while they are enrolled in high school."

Is it possible to install two blogs in one installation?

some kind of multi-blog management-system?
Like WordPress MU you mean? :)
yeah! But does it work with many of the wordpress plugins, cause I use about 10 of them, and I've also made a custom theme.. Perhaps I'll just try it out and tell you how it worked XD
thanks (:
Hi again!
I tried WordPress MU, and it worked almost as I wanted:
I didn't manage to make the "homepage" as a blog, and it didn't support all the plugins I use. And I didn't understand how I was able to publish posts on a specific blog... but I guess perhaps I would understand if I used more time on it XD
I only want two blogs and only me as an admin/editor/writer, so I don't know if MU is the right tool for me.
The only thing I want is two seperate blogs, with seperate themes and seperate posts/pages/categories/archives. without login on two different places.
Try this plugin
I tried setting up a unified login, but I didn't achieve to setup using a shared user database. I kept getting this error, when I tried to log in:
You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
after adding this:
when I removed it the login works perfectly, but that is the code to use the same user database.. ;\
I have on database, two tables and one for each wp. prefix is wp_ and wp2_.
It's installed locally using xampp (maybe that has something to do with it?)
I want to use sub directories for both, but I want one of them to have the root (http://my.domain.net) as blog address (and the sub directory as wordpress address (http://my.domain.net/wordpress/))

Corporate Advocacy Program™
doing some research found the company has two other websites they going by
which are; www.MagicalDreamEscapesInc.com
and http://www.8006405250.com/ . The www.MagicalDreamEscapes.com is
the web site that is on the front of the voucher package that was received in
the mail, in which it is inoperable. The
http://www.8006405250.com/ is a
website given by the Reservations Desk.
The company has three more contact numbers which include: 1.253.595.5629, 800.640.5250 and fax: 253.595.5629. The
company misrepresented the information and the travel package deals and a
shopping spree of $1,000. The shopping spree was only cheap out dated merchandise
you could probably find in goodwill and you had to pay like separate charges
for each product to be shipped, so in the end you would pay $300.00 for junk
you didnt even need or near want. I was
underneath the consumption that I could use them anytime and there werent any
regulations other than not traveling alone and anyone could join me as long as
they werent over 60 years of age. Recently
found out that the requirements of any trip sold to me was the age 30 or
married with the annual salary of at least 25,000-30,000 depending on the
trip. I am 28 years old, currently
unemployed student and the status of being single. I am not rushing into
marriage. I dont feel like consumers
should just get married to just go on vacation that is ridiculous. I contacted
the company to see if there was a resolution to the issue, the representative
advised me that I could trick the system by to changing my address to my boyfriends
even if I am not moving so we could enjoy the vacation packages. I do believe this violates some state rights
and probably many other laws. I do not
want to trick any system. I feel like this
company violates my rights by discriminating demographics and stealing my hard
earned money. Anyone who works for this
company should feel ashamed of themselves for being so unethical and misleading
many Americans out of their dreams. I
contacted my credit card company to find out that it was past dispute time
limit and there is nothing they could do.
In hopes of maybe getting refunded or giving American consumers
justice. Thank you for the opportunity
of using my first amendment and protect Americans rights.

2003 Dodge Stratus R/T 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl 5M)
I bought the car in October of 2002. Picked it up w/ the shrink wrap still on the car and 0 miles on the odometer. I like the car and the styling, but it has become a maintenance headache. 77k miles, and I've had to replace: rear struts, rear brakes, rear strut mounts, transmission solinoid, coolant overflow, front bearings, rust repair on door and on body, and trip computer on top of normal maintenance. The car from day one has also had a fantom ground issue in which on occasions it will: not lock the doors, sunroof stays open, dash lights go bright, cylinder 5 won't fire, speedometer acts up, etc. And most resently the torque converter has started acting up. I'd be cautious w/ the RT.
Exterior style, sun roof, color, leather steering wheel, autostick
Design with long term quality in mind.
Bought the car on Labor Day weekend '06 and have never regretted it. It's a four-door with the R/T package, deep metallic red, looks great, runs great, roomy, comfortable, great gas mileage, has all the bells and whistles (leather, 6-disc cd changer, sunroof, etc.), just an all- around great car. The perfomance is definitely suprising. Ours has the automatic with Autostick and can pass pretty much anything you want to (it can do over 110 in third!). It can at least run with 3 Series Beemers with ease:). Definitely get the V6 if you are considering one, they're suprising powerful and get good gas mileage (we average at least 30-32). And we always get compliments on the styling. Great car.
I ordered a 95 dodge stratus ES
(loaded) with a 5 spd, which was a
blast to drive, great gas mileage
too... I always thought it needed a
v6. Not the wimpy 2.5 liter-150hp w/
automatic MTX only, which was an
option that 1st year.
The 2003 r/t with the 200hp magnum,
match up with the 5 spd, is exactly
what it needed. I have had no issues
with the vehicle at all. It is
powerful, handles extremely well and
most vehicles will have trouble
keeping up with it. (If that interests
I look forward to driving it every
day. The gas mileage is great. The
engine is very smooth and delivers its
200hp nicely.
200 HP Magnum V6
5 spd NVG-T850 Manual Transaxle
17in 50 Series Tires
Moon roof / leather seats
Nice sound system (6 CD chgr)
Great styling, fit and finish
More HP's you can never have to much
HP...it like ram on a computer.
Something that all American auto mfgs
need to get with...offer all wheel
I traded in my 2001 Dodge Durango
because of the horrible fuel milage
(12/17mpg) I was getting. I am very
pleased with the 18.5/27.5 I am getting
now. It handles great with the 17"
tires. The 2.7 is pretty peppy for its
size. Anybody know where I can get
aftermarket permormance parts for 2.7?
The one thing I do miss is the heated
leather seats from the Durango. The R/T
is a sharp looking, good value for the
Looks sharp for a 4dr. Very good
handling. Fun to drive! Dodge has come
a long ways. Good value!
Better & more seat adjustment for
driver, as well as memory. Auto dim
rear veiw mirror. Being able to turn on
driving lights with out having
headlights on. Better sounding exuast,
dual like a Gran Prix has and sounds.
I am so in love with my car. I've owned
three other vehicles since I've been
driving and my Stratus is the most
enjoyable for both style and
reliability. Dodge, keep doing what you

Get on yer boat! Part 1 by Thoy Bradley
A deceptively simple moc, it's not very big but has a lot of neat techniques. I really like the way the water has been created with tiles, which isn't new, and then the bubble/waves created with the clear rounds at the same level as the tiles making them just a stud higher. It works really well for adding a movement effect but not being over-zealous with it.
The river edges (not really a bank) look great with the tan sand and all the vegitation. I like the various different tree techniques used because it really adds a nice lifelike randomness to the scene.
I also love the details of the fig and the boat with the white seat and the wine he was drinking before being chased by an alligator!
There is a cute story to go along with it, you can see all the photos on the MOCpages entry.

Nice one but where do you get that water?

Posted 10 August 2012 - 03:05 PM
This is a great little MOC. Using my imagination I could see brickbeard cruising down the water way to escape the great croc as he continues unabated on his mission to find his treausre! And we thought the blue coats and red coats were his adversary... The only thing I would say is it would look great with some sort of continuation. So maybe a port of some sort or other inifigs on the side looking on...

Southern Gardening: Rex begonias can bring Christmas cheer indoors
As much as I like decorating with colorful poinsettias during the Christmas season, I'm always on the lookout for nontraditional plants that can add interest and be just as effective in spreading holiday cheer.
One of the most unusual plants I've seen is miniature cherry tomato, in full fruit, displayed for holiday sales. While I didn't run out and buy one of those, a plant I have admired for many years for the shady summer garden is Rex begonia.

PARIS — Groupe Clarins now fully owns Kibio.
This story first appeared in the February 5, 2010 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
On Jan. 29, Clarins acquired the remaining stake in the organic beauty brand it had not already owned, according to Olivier Courtin-Clarins, company vice president of research and development and managing director of Clarins' executive board. However, Clarins had been Kibio's majority shareholder since July 2009.
Clarins first took a 10 percent stake in Kibio and subscribed to the full amount of a convertible bond issue in 2006. The investment was 3 million euros, or $4.1 million at current exchange. The conversion of the bonds was allowed starting in 2008 and was there to enable Clarins to increase its shareholding in Kibio to 60 percent.
Kibio, created in 2005 by Pierre Cabane and Laurent Potier, is inspired by the idea of Chinese energy, called Qi.

Getting started with the Linux Terminal Server Project
The Linux Terminal Server Project offers a comprehensive approach to terminal services in Linux, including easy access to local sound cards, printers, and USB sticks.
Unix is an ideal platform for terminal servers. The many network-capable services, such as the X11 graphics interface, the SSH remote shell, and NFS, are mature and trusted standards that have been around for years. But good serverbased computing means that the user experience is identical to the experience of working directly with the application. Programs should play back sound to the client system, rather than to the server running the application; USB sticks plugged into a client should be accessible to applications running on the server; and printers attached to the client should be visible to the terminal server system.

The Red-Armed Prole Woman
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
Winston sees this woman as a symbol of freedom. Party members never sing, but hearing her song through the window of his rented room fills Winston – and soon, Julia – with hope for the future. What is this hope? That the proles will become cognizant of their plight and rebel against the Party. After all, Winston reasons, the Proles constitute the only group capable of success because of their sheer size (85% of Oceania population). Unfortunately, as Winston and Shmoop note, the proles aren't smart enough to get their act together. Thwarted again.
But that's not all. Winston and Julia also acknowledge the Prole woman as a symbol of reproductive virility, and thereby, hope for the future. They see her as "beautiful" because of her wideness, largeness, and toughness – all indicating her ability to give birth to future generations of rebels intent on overtaking the Party's rule.


text: This may be a really dumb question but I am having issues using this plug-in with my WordPress website. I have set up the plug-in for SmugMug with my SmugMug API. I create a new gallery in my theme and use "add media". This opens a link where I can select Photonic and enter in my Smugmug nickname and album info. I enter the data in and tell it to insert the code. I save the draft and publish it. Unfortunately the only thing that appears is the code itself. No images or thumbnails show up. I have tried multiple album names or no album names at all in the SmugMug options. Am I missing something that is completely obvious? Thanks for any help.

Most people would picture a Dalmatian dog as the typical fire department mascot, but Nicol Volunteer Fire Department's mascot is a Dalmatian who is more likely to cluck than bark.
Fire Chief Gaston Wilson says the department's 1-month-old Dalmatian chicken is "a cutie."
The Tuscaloosa News reports that the speckled black and white bird is the grand-chicken of Allan Jr., the Nicol VFD's original mascot. He was named after the department's first fire chief, Steven Allan Sullivan, who died in 2008.
She's the third generation in her fowl family to proudly carry on the Nicol VFD mascot tradition.
The department, which is in a converted chicken house, needs a new building and members say they hope the new Dalmatian chicken will help them raise money for it.

# IV Commandment on Not Messing up Your Kids
IV: Never talk about your child to other people in front of them, unless it is to praise your son or daughter.You need to be their number one confidant, not a blabber mouth "sharing" what they did and saying it's "cute" (let alone saying they did something bad) or laughing at what they did and making them self conscious.You can't feel safe with a parent who seems to think you're an entertainment experience.And, sure, post a picture or two online (if you must) but your child isn't a s … [Read more...]
