There are plenty places to buy their products from, though not as many as there should be since it is also their policy to only let "brick and mortor" stores that sell "X" amount... that is where I find fault with their policy practices, not from their MAP policy. I appreciate this "debate" despite your stated intention of not "getting into it". I am just trying to iron out a few things in order to make sure that there is no confusion between the two HH policies I have mentioned, as well as to clearly state basic business policy (they are in it for profit like most if not all companies in the industry). I thank everyone who reads this post in its entirety and hope that everyone has a safe and happy flying experienece no matter if they get this model or not... that is still our choice and within reason. |

I had an mCPX and it was a nice helicopter. My main problem was that it got real small, real quick!
I have a couple of 120 SRs now and can fly them all over the gym. They're a lot easier to see than the mCPX. Of course, the 130X won't fly anything like the 120 SR, but half the battle is being able to see what you're flying! Don |

If I could only buy one, it would be the 130X, simply because I will still be able to fly it at the local corner park, it will fly better than the mCP-X, but also because I am a reasonably capable CP heli pilot, and don't expect to have too many crashes. If you are a CP beginner, then the mCP-X might still be the better buy. I'd hold on if you can for the 130X field reviews once it's out. |

Good points. Thanks |

Will the 130 be a good first CP heli. most likely not. Is the MCP X a great first CP heli, yes it is. There are many post describing just how good the mcp X flies and have well it survives thum thumb flights into the ground. Learn to hit throttle hold before impact ,fly over grass and most crashes result in nothing more than a link or links poping off. I have advanced more in one month ,just over 100 flights with a mcp X than all the other helis I have owned / flown over the years. Reason is simple I spend time flyingthis one not repairing it and it does not cost a bunch of dollars to keep it in the air. Only upgrade it needs is an extended tail boom and Blade at last came out with one for those who can not make their own. Part # BLH3602L. Charles |

Photo Effects Pro 1.5 Review
Edit photos and apply various effects with Photo Effects Pro.
Since most Android devices have a camera, it is only natural that photo- editing applications are in high demand. While the market is full of programs trying to help users enhance or alter their images, most of them don't allow you to edit the photos but simply apply a visual effect filter over them. Photo Effects Pro falls into this category as well, but its ease of use will appeal to the casual user.
The installation of Photo Effects Pro is extremely easy, requiring no advanced settings or registration. This app is obviously designed to be simple and easy to use. The user interface is clean and has clear, crisp text. With its intuitive design and functionality, most users should have little to no difficulty using this app with no instruction. The basic operation of this photo effects app is much like any other similar app. First the user selects a photo from the gallery or by taking a new photo. The photo can then be modified by applying one of several different filters. Options include filters such as pencil sketch, tinted, oversaturation, and more. The user is also able to adjust the contrast and brightness settings as well as crop the photo or round the corners.
Photo Effects Pro performs exactly as advertised. Most users will find effects this app provides suitable for everyday use and sharing on social media. The only downside is that more advanced users will demand considerably more from a photo-editing application. Therefore, this app is recommended for beginners or those new to photo editing.

Incident near Planned Parenthood causes legislator to lose chairmanship of House committee on environment and finance.
Legislators Tom Hackbarth, seated left, Jim Abeler, standing and Joyce Peppin discuss the merits of bills before the House.
Rep. Tom Hackbarth, the Republican legislator who was found by police carrying a gun near a Planned Parenthood clinic in St. Paul, was deposed as head of a key legislative committee Wednesday.
In a brief statement, incoming House Speaker Kurt Zellers, R-Maple Grove, said Hackbarth had been suspended from "any current and pending leadership roles" within the House Republican caucus. Last week, as the Republicans prepared to assume the majority in the Minnesota House in January, the 16-year legislator had been named to chair the House Environment, Energy and Natural Resources Policy and Finance Committee.
Hackbarth had in recent years pushed proposals to build a new Minnesota Vikings stadium with a constitutional amendment that would use money from slot machines installed at the state's two horse racing tracks. At a rally on the State Capitol steps a year ago, Hackbarth had spoken to supporters of a new stadium along with former Vikings players.
Hackbarth did not return phone calls Wednesday, but on Tuesday he had called the incident a "misunderstanding."
Police in St. Paul stopped Hackbarth, 58, on Nov. 16, two weeks after the legislator from Cedar had easily won reelection. Hackbarth, who said he was going through a divorce and had a gun permit, told police he had a met a woman via an Internet dating service, but was suspicious she was seeing another man and was attempting to investigate.
Hackbarth, who was not arrested but was briefly handcuffed, also told police he did not know he had parked in a Planned Parenthood lot.
"Hackbarth admitted that it all looked bad," the report stated, and added that police officers had to then help him start his truck because it had a dead battery.
Kathi Di Nicola, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood, said the organization's office had closed an hour before Hackbarth's pickup was seen in the parking lot. "That parking lot was completely empty if you look at the surveillance video," she said.
Cory Merrifield, a founder of SavetheVikes, a group pushing for a new Vikings stadium, said he was surprised by the incident.
"This all seems very out of character," he said. Only last month, Hackbarth attended a SavetheVikes rally near the Metrodome for a new stadium along with Independence Party gubernatorial candidate Tom Horner.
"He's a very laid-back guy," said Merrifield.
"Some politicians seem like politicians, but Rep. Hackbarth has always seemed like an everyday, normal guy," he said. "That's an ally we're losing, but the show must go on, I guess."

Three-point crowns, five-point crowns, six-pointed stars, diamonds, clowns they all mean something to Hermanson, who usually works undercover. In a dingy alley off Worth Avenue, he spots an unfamiliar design. "This has both Folk Nation and Sureno influences," he points out. "Interesting." He grew up in Lake Worth, owns a home there, and says he can't stand seeing "my city all marked-up. It makes your community look horrible."
But Hermanson has been instrumental in getting the Lake Worth police force to view understanding the gangs as a means to an end: "To focus on criminality, not symbolism." His learning curve, he explains started "when I realized, 'I know a lot of gang members but I don't know anything about gangs. '"
School provides an environment for law enforcement to learn about gang activity. "They're doing better compared to three or four years ago," when officials checking yearbooks missed obvious gang references. "They weren't seeing a thing." Now, teachers pass him graffiti confiscated in class or information gleaned from conversations in the hall.
Palm Beach County officials have placed police in schools, a method Hermanson says makes his job easier. "They actually have more control than we do with what kids are wearing and what they're doing in class." Estimating that a huge percentage of afterschool fights at local middle and high schools are gang-related, he's happy to have the help.
Sister Rachel feels that the police presence is sometimes too heavy-handed around kids. "What are they doing?" she asks. "Harassing students they think are gang members or suspending students for wearing certain things? That's not a preventative measure.
"Police are trained to fight criminals they are not guidance counselors. Police know how to use handcuffs and guns and use intimidating language to talk down to somebody. That is not the kind of profile you want in this kind of situation. Dogs in a school setting? There's already a mistrust of police with these kids, and this doesn't create a feeling of partnership."
Kevin Kuschel, a detective who works with the Palm Beach County School Board Police, didn't respond to several calls for comment.
Hermanson's approach, Sister Rachel believes, is more likely to succeed. "I think he's doing a great job," she says. "There's a certain personality not everybody can do what Brian does. But some are called to that."
At the same time that individuals like Hermanson and Sister Rachel noticed gang-oriented Internet sites operated by area youth, they discovered it wasn't always teenaged boys behind the computers or the beatdowns. Sometimes it was young females.
An L.A. woman named Veronica Alonzo extended the reach of the Maniac Gangster set when she moved to Lake Worth last year, MLK members told the Palm Beach Post. Not only did she help set up a new branch office; she was the main suspect in the stabbing of a 16-year-old MLK member.
Hermanson contends that some of the leaders of the Lake Worth 18th Street sect are female. According to Hermanson, "A couple of girls who've been at it for a long time are recruiting young guys by, uh, having sex with 'em to get 'em to join."
But Carlos scoffs at the notion of female gang leaders. Even if the girls were part of 18th Street, he says, they'd have had to sleep with a guy just to get in so to him, it's a moot point.
"I saw kids even girls who were altar servers," Sister Rachel says with audible dismay. "I saw the best of our youth ministry of Sacred Heart Church on those gang websites. So sad. But I'm not surprised, because culturally these kids are coming from a society where boys and girls have different gender responsibilities."
The L-Dub gang epidemic shows signs of spreading to other cities.
James Howard pulls his lawn-care service truck into a McDonald's parking lot in downtown Riviera Beach. Via a local church, he's working as a mentor to gang members in this notoriously poor African-American city, with 26 murders many of them yet-unsolved drive-by shootings over the past two years.
"The female gang members are even more ruthless than the men!" he insists. "I knew this shorty from Lantana. She wanted to be part of a gang, and they wouldn't let her in. So she killed some dude at a Walgreens here in Riviera Beach. She got the $8 in his wallet and the gang still turned her down."
Twenty years ago, Howard hung out on the same corners, and most of the kids today know he has a couple of drug arrests on his record. Hence, his street cred.
"I haven't always been such a standup, role-model citizen," he says, eyes peering over his glasses. "And they know that."
Despite Riviera Beach's violent streak, Howard hasn't seen the Latin gangs from Lake Worth making inroads there yet. But when he took his daughter to a skating rink in Lantana last year, where a performance by local rapper Suave Smooth was taking place, he watched as a fight broke out between Lake Worth and Boynton Beach gangs.
"It got out of hand," he says. "The front plate-glass window was broken, kids were trampled, it was pandemonium." The event left him feeling uneasy about the Lake Worth area and the looming threat of gangs like MS13, MLK, and 18th Street.

TORONTO -- Chris Bosh didn't panic after watching the Chicago Bulls erase Toronto's 17-point lead and send the game to overtime. He just helped the Raptors win in the extra period.
Bosh had 31 points and 15 rebounds, Andrea Bargnani scored 28 points and the Raptors beat the Bulls 134-129 Sunday.
Chicago's Ben Gordon had 37 points, including a buzzer-beating jumper over Bosh that sent it to overtime.
"Sometimes you can be like 'Oh my God, woe is me, it went in,'" Bosh said. "You can't panic. We're going to overtime whether we like it or not so we might as well regroup and get it right."
Bosh made sure Toronto got it right, putting the Raptors ahead for good by converting a three-point play with 15 seconds left to play in overtime.
"They came back from an unlikely situation," Bosh said. "They had all the momentum in the world but we withstood it. I'm proud of our guys for showing composure."
Jose Calderon had 22 points and a career-high 19 assists, Shawn Marion scored 16 points and Pops Mensah-Bonsu added 13 as the Raptors set a franchise-high for points and extended their winning streak to a season-high four games. Toronto last won four straight between Dec. 9-14, 2007.
"I wish we'd been playing like this earlier [in the season] but you can't change the past," Bosh said. "All we can do is dictate what we do now. We've just got to keep it going."
Toronto is seven games out of the playoffs with nine left to play.
Chicago rookie Derrick Rose had 23 but the Bulls failed to get their first five-game winning streak since Dec. 11-19, 2006.
"We had fought back so much that we were kind of just going on adrenaline," Gordon said. "In overtime we just weren't able to make the plays to win the game."
Joakim Noah had 16 and Brad Miller had 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Bulls, who came in just ahead of Detroit for seventh in the Eastern Conference.
Chicago's 112-106 home victory over Indiana on Saturday was its seventh win in eight games, but the Bulls came out flat in this one, trailing by 18 in the first half before rallying in the final quarter.
The Raptors took a 13-point lead into the fourth and were up 103-86 with 8:05 to play before the Bulls began to rally, cutting it to 110-106 with 3:13 left after a 9-0 run.
Bosh converted two free throws with 2:33 to play, ending the Raptors' scoring drought of 2:54, but Kirk Hinrich answered with a 3-pointer to keep the Bulls close.
Toronto looked to have it won when Chicago, trailing by one, came up empty three times on one possession in the final 15 seconds. Gordon missed a jumper, Rose's layup rimmed out and Marion delivered a huge block on Tyrus Thomas to maintain Toronto's slender lead.
"I never, never missed a wide-open layup like that to win the game," a frustrated Rose said.
Calderon and Rose each made a pair of free throws but, on Toronto's next possession, Anthony Parker missed the first of two from the line, giving the Bulls another shot with 6 seconds remaining. Gordon took advantage, draining a jumper over Bosh as the buzzer sounded to send it to overtime tied at 119.
"I knew we had about 5 or 6 seconds so I just wanted to be aggressive," Gordon said. "My intention was to try and get over to the basket but Chris Bosh did a pretty good job of not letting me turn the corner. I just had to pull up and I was able to connect."
Chicago took its first lead of the game with Miller's layup to begin the extra session before Toronto went back in front, 126-125, on Bargnani's 3-pointer with 1:47 remaining. But Calderon had a turnover that led to a layup by Rose, putting the Bulls in front by one with 29 seconds left.
Bosh tipped in his own miss and was fouled by Rose, converting the three-point play to make it 129-127 with 15 seconds to go.
"It really came down to that tip Bosh had," Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro said. "That three-point play was really a big, big play."
Things got worse for Chicago on the next possession when Rose turned it over under Toronto's basket as he tried to find an open teammate.
"I thought I had an opening to pass the ball to Tyrus [Thomas] and one of their guys tipped the ball and I lost it," Rose said. "It's disappointing and that's why I'll put this game on me tonight."
Del Negro chalked it up as a learning experience for Rose, the top pick in last year's draft.
"He tried to make a pass and lost it," Del Negro said. "He's young and he's got to learn. The more we put him in those situations, eventually we'll start making more of those."
Bargnani came up with the loose ball and was fouled, converting both free throws to put Toronto up by four. Gordon made a layup but Calderon sealed it with a three-point play.
John Salmons came in averaging 20.3 points in 19 games with Chicago but scored just 10 in this one. Del Negro said Salmons was hampered by a tight groin.
Game notes
Calderon's 19 assists matched Damon Stoudamire's franchise-high. ... Bulls guard Lindsey Hunter missed the game with flu-like symptoms. ... Thomas got a technical foul for arguing in the second quarter. ... The Bulls had just three rebounds in the first. ... Buffalo Bills receiver Terrell Owens sat courtside while Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Luke Schenn watched from a baseline seat.

Unlocking the wonders of Jonkershoek

Most people know of Long Street and its sleepless nights, the lovely scenery of Camps bay and its wonderful restaurants, but have you ever felt like a tourist in your own city? I did when I was recently invited to Jonkershoek Nature Reserve in Stellenbosch.

Beyond #LoveCapeTown: Popping out to Paternoster
I'm a big fan of Cape Town. I've had the luxury of living in a few other cities so I feel I can make a fair comparison, but every so often I need to get out of the Mother City. Recently, I picked Paternoster as my weekend destination, and before my girlfriend even had time to say "It's the weekend!", we were off.
Tourist in My Own City: The V&A Waterfront Dine-About
Living in Cape Town, I've always used the V&A Waterfront as a quick shopping stop - a meal, groceries, new shirts, etc. Thus when I was recently invited to a dine-about at three of the Waterfront's top restaurants, I leapt at the opportunity to try something a little different, and a lot more fun.
Winelands with a twist
I have an obsession with doing things differently, which normally makes me really annoying to travel with, but occasionally I find something really cool, like my long weekend in the Robertson Winelands with my girlfriend.

The proper development of neuronal circuits during neuromorphogenesis and neuronal-network formation is critically dependent on a coordinated and intricate series of molecular and cellular cues and responses. Although the cortical actin cytoskeleton is known to play a key role in neuromorphogenesis, relatively little is known about the specific molecules important for this process. Using linkage analysis and whole-exome sequencing on samples from families from the Amish community of Ohio, we have demonstrated that mutations in KPTN, encoding kaptin, cause a syndrome typified by macrocephaly, neurodevelopmental delay, and seizures. Our immunofluorescence analyses in primary neuronal cell cultures showed that endogenous and GFP-tagged kaptin associates with dynamic actin cytoskeletal structures and that this association is lost upon introduction of the identified mutations. Taken together, our studies have identified kaptin alterations responsible for macrocephaly and neurodevelopmental delay and define kaptin as a molecule crucial for normal human neuromorphogenesis.

text: Here is what the internet state tax will do. It will drive small business like mine off the internet. Which will mean home states will collect no taxes at all. It will create excessive book-keeping costs on business, and state tax collection will be a bigger nightmare than the IRS. New software by website providers will need to be created to charge and collect new taxes, which will increase costs to internet sales providers/supplyers. It will further destroy the U.S. economy. It will cut shipping business to UPS/FedX/USPS services. This only proves that our elected officials are not only out of touch with the public but, are deliberately are trying to destroy the U.S. economy and jobs. Thank you traitors for another misguided idea!

How do we know what's going on?
IN our present confrontation with Libya, it is obviously important that we know what is going on in that country. Our policies seem to be based on assumptions that Colonel Qaddafi is in trouble, that his regular military is near revolt, and that a push from the outside may well topple him. How do we know? This is a time when we should be obtaining the most accurate information possible on the mood within Libya, the attitude of the population toward Qaddafi, and the longer-term Libyan reaction to the United States attack.
In the highly controlled conditions within Libya and in the absence of a US embassy, our government must rely on other sources, each of which has limitations.
US newspapers and television networks have correspondents in Libya. Presumably we have intelligence agents and are in touch with friendly foreign diplomats, including the Belgians, who officially protect US interests, as well as businessmen and Libyan exiles.
US journalists do a good job at a time like this. Those stationed in or near Libya have made frequent trips, and the ones experienced in sensing a foreign political system can probably get a feel of the internal situation. Television tends to be crisis oriented, episodic, and immediate, giving impressions more than analysis. Print journalists, of whatever media, tend to write for the present and for the reader. Apart from what they write, journalists may well be inhibited in going out of their way to convey their thoughts to US officials. While in Libya even the best ones are severely circumscribed in their movements.
There are limits, also, on what foreign embassies, including those that officially protect our interests, can do to help our assessment. With interests of their own, they may not be attuned to the type of information needed by the United States. Given their own sensitive positions in a country such as Libya and noticing how leaky the US government is, they may also be reluctant to share sensitive assessments with us.
Businessmen have their own agenda. In a country where the foreigner stands out, and is vulnerable to being expelled, businessmen are unlikely to seek the kind of broad nonbusiness contacts and to ask the kind of questions necessary for an accurate political assessment.

The dish on Long Island's restaurant and food scene.
With Super Bowl XLVII fast approaching, thoughts turn to the host city of New Orleans. Having recently returned from what's arguably America's gastronomic epicenter, after days spent drifting from one super meal to the next, I've gained a renewed appreciation of how well the local Cajun and Creole cuisines are interpreted by Long Island chefs. I compared the crusty, flaky and decidedly oversize...

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Jennifer Chiaverini's popular Elm Creek Quilts series has been an international hit.
©2007 Jennifer Chiaverini; (P)2007 Recorded Books
"Enjoyable and engaging"
Another good Elm Creek Quilt addition to this most enjoyable series. This one follows Elizabeth and her new husband from Elm Creek to California during the 1920s where a ranch awaits them in an idealic valley. Unfortunately, things don't turn out quite as they hoped and life takes a difficult turn. I very much enjoyed the interesting characters in this Elm Creek story. Chiaverini has developed several complex and interesting "real people" to enhance this story and, as always, her storytelling ability is evident as it's hard to not care what happens to Lars and Rosa and May and others. My only complaint was that I found Elizabeth's tolerance of her husband's self-pity a bit annoying, but I also realize I'm reading about a "good girl" from the 1920s. I enjoyed the book very much and, as always, Christina Moore does an excellent job with narrating Chiaverini's story.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

McIlroy pays tribute to Stanley boss
In-form Stanley have become League Two's surprise package with a fine win at Shrewsbury last Saturday making it six wins in seven games. That run included a win at Christie Park on Boxing Day, and Morecambe have yet to beat Stanley since joining the Football League. McIlroy told the Morecambe Visitor: "I don't think we have beaten Accrington while I have been in charge and I want to put that record to bed. "They have had a great season and John Coleman has built a team that is playing good football and has an excellent spirit. "We know all about them and we know we need to be at our best on Saturday to combat them."

Premises Liability
Fall and Slip Lawyers St. Louis
Premises Liability simply means that you were hurt on someone else's property. The reason you were on the property is an important first question.
Generally, premises owners are liable if they:
- cause the unsafe condition, and the subsequent slip or trip and fall injury,
- knew about the condition but didn't correct it, warn of it or barricade it,
- should have known about the danger because a "reasonable person" would have found the problem and taken steps to prevent injuries caused by the condition.
Examples of liability hazards or dangerous conditions are:
- wet floors (spills, leaking appliances, recently mopped areas),
- uneven surfaces (lifted sidewalks or bricks, unexpected rises or drops),
- broken stairs, railings or doors,
- poorly designed or improperly installed ramps,
- poor or no lighting or security cameras,
- an unleashed or uncontrolled dog or other animal that bites or attacks
If you think you have a case, contact The S.E. Farris Law Firm and learn how we can represent your case.
Premises liability actions have traditionally involved "slip and fall" causes of action but may include, among other things, construction accidents, dog bite cases, and injuries caused by persons on the premises.
The slang for most Premises Liability injuries is "slip and fall" cases but this is misleading. The S.E. Farris Law Firm has successfully represented wheelchair victims who were injured on dangerous properties. In fact, many of the cases we have tried over the years were for victims who were harmed by an unsafe or hazardous property condition.
The Farris Law Firm provides a free case evaluation for Premises Liability claims. Call us at 314-A-LAWYER (252-9937), contact us by email, or find us on Google+

Behind White House Role As Pitchman for US Firms
INDIA, like many developing nations, can be a tough place for foreign firms to win new business. But when Jack Shaw visited the country with 20 other American chief executives recently, he scored big, landing a $700 million contract for a satellite-communications system as well as two joint ventures.
Mr. Shaw, chairman of Hughes Network, credits the organizer, guide, and cheerleader of the trip: United States Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown. The presence of a high-ranking US official enabled the American business leaders to see everyone they wanted to, from top politicians to ministry purse holders.
''In my 30 years in international telecommunications, this is the first time that I've felt the US government has truly supported US business,'' says Shaw, whose firm is owned by Hughes Aircraft in Los Angeles.
Shaw's experience is not an isolated one. In its two years in office, the Clinton administration has worked hard to become a humming export-promotion machine, going far beyond the actions of its Republican predecessors as it champions the cause of US firms and scours for business opportunities worldwide.
Secretary Brown, for one, has become a tireless traveler in the contract cause. He may be facing ethics questions at home, but during his trips overseas Brown has helped rack up tens of billions of dollars in deals. US corporate leaders covet invitations to accompany the commerce secretary to Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
The Clinton administration has developed a sophisticated team to go to bat for business, marshaling players from the Central Intelligence Agency, the Departments of Commerce, State, Energy, and Defense, as well as financing agencies. Penetration of foreign markets is a major topic at President Clinton's National Economic Council meetings.
''It's not just a question of a few high-level trips,'' says Jeffrey Garten, Commerce Department deputy secretary for international trade. ''We have a very elaborate system designed to help sizable firms win contracts overseas.''

text: You can do whatever you want with boot scripts. Personally, I delete all that muckery that makes an aesthetically pleasing boot system, because I find that kind of scripting ot have more garbage than necessary for a headless system. But then, I'm running headless systems. About the only thing you are required to have for boot scripts is an inittab. As long as the appropriate scripts are called by the appropriate runlevel, all is well. You can have a very simple script that reads like a flat file, or you can have some complex monstrosity that greps 30 different files in 20 different directories on the disc and assembles runable commands on the fly while printing pretty and jazzy colors on the screen. OR, you can install initng and tell it what needs to be run in various runlevels, and it'll execute things in parallel instead of in order. With Sysinit, the only requirement you have is the inittab file and the files you reference in that one. Everything else is just eye candy. In fact, I'm not so sure the files you reference in the inittab are even required. Highly recommended, for sure. As far as standards.. Depends on who you ask. My only suggestion there is to choose the one you like the best and run with it. If it's remotely possible that someone else will have to admin the box in the future tho, it's very very helpful if you choose an existing standard instead of creating your own solution. Eric

Silver Dollar City is a theme park in the state of Missouri. Opened on May 1, 1960, the park is located between Branson and Branson West on Missouri Route 76. The park is an 1880's-themed experience that fits Branson's vision as a family-friendly vacation destination with down-home charm. Silver Dollar City's operating season runs from mid-March until late December, with the park closed during the months of January and February. Silver Dollar City is owned by the Herschend Family Entertainment, which owns, operates or partners in 25 properties in 10 states and includes the nearby water park, White Water; water excursion and theatre, the Showboat Branson Belle; water and land tour attraction Ride the Ducks.
Silver Dollar City has developed into one of the most successful theme parks in the United States. Situated at the site of one of the Ozarks' oldest attractions, Marvel Cave, Silver Dollar City figuratively sprang from the ground. The cave, which has been designated a National Natural Landmark by the U.S. Department of the Interior, is important not only because of its subterranean features but also because of its role in the origins of Silver Dollar City.
The first oral record of Marvel Cave comes from the Osage Nation, while the first written record dates from an 1869 expedition. Henry T. Blow of St. Louis, a lead mining magnate, explored the cave with six miners. They found no lead before returning to St. Louis, but convinced that the flat ceiling of one room was composed of marble, they originally named the cave Marble Cave.
The cave remained undisturbed until 1882 when another group of entrepreneurs, led by Mr. T. Hodges Jones and Truman S. Powell of Barton County, entered the cave in hopes of finding lead. Jones and Powell found huge amounts of bat manure, or guano, and the flat wall, which they also believed to be marble. Two years later Jones bought the property and, with several of his friends, formed the Marble Cave Mining and Manufacturing Company to mine the cave. The company planned a town, Marble City, on the rough hilltop near the cave and in 1884 recorded a plat map at the courthouse in Galena, Missouri. Although a few lots in the new town were sold, little development seems to have taken place. By 1889 much of the guano had been mined from the cave, the marble wall proved to be limestone, and no lead ore was found. The mining company, which had developed so quickly, ceased operation.
The history of the cave took another turn in 1889 when William Henry Lynch, a Canadian miner and dairyman, purchased the cave and a square mile around it for $10,000. Lynch, with the aid of his family, proposed to open the cave to sightseers. The Lynches began operation of the sightseeing venture in 1894 with a grand celebration and a few visitors. The venture was not immediately profitable and was closed until Lynch raised additional capital to reopen the cave sometime after 1900. The cave has remained open since, making it one of the oldest continuously running tourist attractions in the Ozarks.
When William Lynch died in 1927, ownership of the cave passed to his daughters. Shortly thereafter, the name of the cave was changed to Marvel Cave. The Lynch family operated the cave for nearly fifty years until a Chicago vacuum cleaner salesman, Hugo Herschend, purchased a 100-year lease on the cave.
After Hugo Herschend's death, five years after he began managing the cave, his wife, Mary, took over the day-to-day operations of the venture. With the aid of her two sons, Jack and Peter, Mary Herschend was able to make vast improvements to the cave, including a narrow gauge funicular railway, whose trains pulled visitors a distance of 218 feet (66 m), from the depths of the cave up to the surface.
Once the railway was in operation the Herschends felt the development of the cave was complete and immediately began to search for ways to expand their growing attraction. Anticipating additional tourists to the Ozarks, they wanted to create an attraction which would attract even more tourists to the cave.
Following Hugo's death in 1955, Mary, Jack and Pete began building the 1880s Ozark village. Mary was committed to authenticity and preservation—there would be no cheap storefronts. She also insisted on preserving the natural beauty of the area, particularly the trees. The Herschends built the Ozark frontier town on the land surrounding the site of the cave. Silver Dollar City originally was the site of five shops, a church, a log cabin, and a street production reproducing the feud between the Hatfields and McCoys several times daily.
The new attraction was named by Ozark Jubilee script writer and publicist Don Richardson after the promotional idea of giving visitors silver dollars in change (he was hired as the park's public relations director after the show ended).[2] The scenic designer for much of the original attraction was Andy Miller, who had been the set designer for the Jubilee in nearby Springfield. Opening day, May 1, 1960, included appearances by Uncle Cyp and Aunt Sap Brasfield and announcer Joe Slattery from the Jubilee, three Springfield TV personalities, and 18,000 visitors.[3] The first year, Silver Dollar City drew more than 125,000 people, four times more visitors than the number that toured Marvel Cave. "We discovered we were in the theme park business," Pete Herschend said.
In 1972 Genevieve Lynch, the last of William Lynch's daughters, died and she bequeathed the land under Silver Dollar City and Marvel Cave to the College of the Ozarks and Branson Presbyterian Church.[4] The Herschends continue to operate it.
In 1976, the Herschends purchased the Goldrush Junction theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, which they renamed Silver Dollar City Tennessee. In 1986, Dolly Parton bought into the park and it was renamed Dollywood.
The park gained much public notice when the Clampett family of CBS-TV's The Beverly Hillbillies decided to pay a visit to Silver Dollar City (treated as an actual town, rather than a theme park) to start off the 1969-1970 season. The plotline involved Granny (Irene Ryan) attempting to find a husband for Elly May (Donna Douglas) back in the hills, while Jed (Buddy Ebsen) socialized with hotel clerk Shorty Kellems (Shug Fisher). They visited the blacksmith Shad Heller, soapmaker Granny Ethel Huffman, and woodcarver Peter Engler, and Miss Hathaway (Nancy Kulp) was seen in the Ozark woods. The Hillbillies were from the area surrounding Silver Dollar City and Branson, and references to Jim Owens and his White River float trip business and some Missouri mountain locations were made throughout the show's nine-year run. Five episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies were eventually shot in the park.
In 1999, Silver Dollar City was the site for the 14th annual Stihl Timbersports Series Championships. Jason Wynyard, 26 of Auckland, New Zealand topped the field of 12 of the world's best axemen for the third year in a row. Four thousand spectators were on hand at the Echo Hollow Amphitheater to watch the most recognized logging competition worldwide. It was the fourth year that the Stihl Finals were hosted in Branson. "Timber" Tina Scheer of The Great Maine Lumberjack Show was the host.
On December 5, 2007 ABC's Good Morning America spotlighted the park's Christmas festival, "An Old Time Christmas," and declared it as one of the top five holiday events in the country. The park was featured as part of the show's segment called "Good Morning America Lights Up the Holidays."
On July 5, 2007, Silver Dollar City was featured in an episode of the soap opera As The World Turns.
From June 21–23, 2009, the park hosted the American Coaster Enthusiasts' national summer convention, welcoming coaster enthusiasts from around the country and Canada.
It was featured in the book The Man Who Loved Clowns.
Silver Dollar City is divided into nine distinct districts.
Throughout the operating season Silver Dollar City hosts six different festivals:
