Since 1991, Hennessey Performance—the Texas-based car tuning company that specializes in modifying supercars from Ferrari, McLaren, Dodge, Porsche, and other top manufacturers—has been making fast cars faster. The team recently set their sights on the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, and the resulting HPE1200 upgrade package is nothing short of spectacular. Powered by a 6.2-liter V8 engine (the same one used in the Dodge Challenger Hellcat), the base Jeep Trackhawk already boasted an impressive 707 hp and mid-11 second quarter-mile performance.
But Hennessey Performance clearly revels in pushing the envelope in terms of how it's possible to extend the original hardware. The design team envisioned a modified HPE1200 engine that consists of upgraded pistons, rods, ported cylinder heads, camshaft upgrade, long tube stainless steel headers, and a 4.5-liter supercharger system. That translates to 1,200 hp and 1,100 ft lbs of torque at the motor and 1,003 hp and 892 ft lbs of torque at the wheels.
"Our team really enjoys pushing the limits and discovering what's possible with the vehicles we build," says company founder and CEO John Hennessey. "Some may say that it's pointless to build an SUV quicker than nearly every supercar and hypercar on the market today. I say that is exactly the point. Thankfully, we have many customers who also share our passion."
The jeep can now go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 2.3 seconds flat on its way to a quarter-mile time of 9.66 seconds at 145 miles per hour. That standout speed makes the Hennessey-tuned jeep the quickest accelerating SUV on the planet.
Hennessey contends that the HPE1200 Trackhawk is as fast as a Bugatti Chiron, yet has room for 4 passengers and luggage—and when you get right down to it, what more could you ask for?
Only 24 units of the HPE1200 Trackhawk will be produced at a base price of $179,000. Available for export to international markets, the Hennessey Trackhawk can be purchased directly from Hennessey or from select Jeep dealers.

The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has accused its Chinese counterpart of steering one of its ships within meters of a Filipino patrol vessel in the disputed South China Sea, breaking international rules and risking a collision.
The incident happened on March 2 near the contested Scarborough Shoal —one of the region's richest fishing grounds and a flashpoint between the two countries—but was only made public Sunday.
It was the fourth time in the past year that a Chinese coast guard vessel had conducted "close distance maneuvering" near the shoal, the PCG said in a statement.
China seized Scarborough from the Philippines in 2012 following a tense standoff.
The Philippines continues to patrol the waters around the shoal, which is inside its exclusive economic zone.
"The behavior of the involved (China Coast Guard) vessels increased the risk of collision with four of our capital ships," PCG chief Admiral Artemio Abu said.
In the March 2 incident, the PCG said the Chinese vessel came within about 19 meters of its patrol boat, which was in "clear violation" of the 1972 International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea.
The PCG has referred the matter to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) which recently summoned China's ambassador over a separate incident involving a Chinese navy ship "lingering" in the Philippines' archipelagic waters.
Abu said his agency was under government orders to maintain patrols near Scarborough Shoal, where Filipino fishermen continue to fish.
There was no immediate comment from the Chinese embassy or the DFA.
Tensions between Manila and Beijing over the South China Sea, which China claims almost its entirety, have intensified in the final year of President Rodrigo Duterte's term in office.
Beijing has ignored a 2016 international tribunal decision that declared its historical claim over most of the South China Sea to be without basis.
Duterte set aside the ruling in exchange for promises of trade and investment, which critics said have not materialized.
But in November he hardened his stance, expressing outrage after Chinese coastguard ships fired water cannons at Filipino boats.
This latest incident comes on the eve of the biggest-ever war games between the Philippines and the United States.
Recent maneuvers between the longtime allies have focused on potential conflict in the South China Sea, where Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Vietnam also have competing claims.
In the latest incident involved the BRP Malabrigo and the Chinese coast guard vessel in the waters of Bajo de Masinloc (Panatag Shoal).
Abu said this was the fourth reported close distance maneuvering incident involving CCG vessels in the area.
On May 19, 2021, PCG-manned Bureau of Fisheries vessel MCS-3005 reported the first incident of close distance maneuvering involving CCG vessel 3301.
The second and the third incidents involved two CCG vessels (3301 and 3103) that conducted close distance maneuvering with BRP Capones (MRRV-4404) and BRP Sindangan (MRRV-4407) respectively, during the PCG's maritime capability enhancement exercises in the vicinity of Bajo de Masinloc on June 1 and 2, 2021.
"We are fully aware of dangerous situations at sea, but these will not stop our deployment of assets and personnel in Bajo de Masinloc, Philippine Rise, and other parts of the country's exclusive economic zones (EEZ)," Abu said.
Transportation Secretary Art Tugade has directed the PCG to continue upholding its mission of promoting the safety of life and property at sea and enforcing all applicable laws within the Philippine waters. With AFP

These days, computers are really changing the way we live and work. You've probably experienced their impact in your own home. And believe me, technology is also helping raise our dental practice to a new level of safety, accuracy, and comfort.
Keeping up with all these advances is a full-time occupation that's as important as my work at chairside. One of the most promising of these breakthroughs is an improvement on the oldest evaluation technology we have - dental x-rays.
For close to a century, dentists have used x-rays to detect cavities and damage invisible to the eye. We've long been aware of the drawbacks. Though x-ray radiation is slight, many patients find it a cause for concern. And reading the negative requires a skilled, professional eye-which means my patients can't see what I see.
That's why my office uses a Computed Dental Radiography System as an x-ray alternative. A computer enhances a "photo" of your teeth and shows it instantly on a screen. This new system requires 90% less radiation than the old film x-rays, and can magnify the image up to 300 times. It's as easy to read as a snapshot. When I discuss something I see in your mouth, you'll be able to view it right along with me.
This is an exciting time to be a dentist. We're re-thinking and refining virtually every aspect of our dental practice, and I wanted to pass a bit of it along to you.
There are many causes of toothache and pain in the area of the mouth. When experiencing pain and/or swelling, it is important to see your dentist to have the area evaluated. The pain and/or swelling is most often related to a disease process that originates within a particular tooth.
The pulpal tissue within the tooth can be irritated by bacteria, external traumatic events, repetitive or extensive dental care procedures, or even periodontal disease causing a toothache. When this irritation occurs, the pulpal tissue reacts by becoming inflamed.
Since the pulpal tissues and the tissues supporting the tooth have a rich supply of nerve fibers, the inflammatory process can cause pain as these nerve pathways are stimulated. Additionally, the pulp tissue is encased inside tooth structure and it cannot swell and expand in reaction to injury like tissues in other areas of the body.
When the injured pulp tissue attempts to swell within the confined root canal space, the pressure buildup can cause a significant toothache.
Pain originating from the dental pulp can be either "spontaneous" or "elicited." Spontaneous pain occurs without an identifiable stimulus, whereas elicited pain occurs only in specific situations. Elicited pain requires a specific stimulus such as drinking cold or hot fluids or biting on the tooth.
As is typical anywhere in the body, the initial stages of a disease process do not always cause symptoms. Millions of teeth have irreversible pulpal disease yet the patients have no clinical symptoms.
Most of these situations will become evident when the dentist obtains a thorough history, does a clinical examination, performs specific tooth tests, and takes a series of well-angulated radiographs. It is important to note that pulpal disease can refer pain to other areas within the head and neck.
If the results of the endodontic examination indicate that root canal disease is not the source of the patient's toothache, then the dentist must consider other possibilities. When attempting to identify the source or cause of facial pain and/or swelling, the dentist must consider that the symptoms could actually originate in a tooth (endodontic disease), the gum tissues (periodontal disease), the muscles (myofacial pain), the joints (TMJ), the sinuses (sinusitis), or even the surrounding vascular (blood vessels) or nerve tissues.
Facial pain requires an accurate diagnosis so that the proper treatment can be recommended. At times, various medical and dental specialists may need to be consulted before an accurate diagnosis can be determined.

' ' Review: No School Like The Old School
It's not the definitive collection it aspires to be, and the menu interface flaunts a bit of clunkiness, but if nostalgia's your itch, Sega Genesis Classics could very well be the scratch you need.
A cacophony of Sega nostalgia in the form of Sega Genesis Classics (or Sega Mega Drive Classic Collection if you're a PAL person) has graced video gaming-kind. With countless individuals burning their childhood retinas via a scan line flaunting cathode ray tube (the visual display of a dated television, in layman's terms), re-experiencing the 16-bit glory that once upon a time defined their video gaming lives is absolute, throwback fun. Naturally however, said fun is relative to one's own history with Sega's back catalogue of old school gems.
With over 50 titles on offer here, there's certainly an abundance of 16-bit-ness to satiate one's appetite for nostalgia. With a wealth of neat features, including quick saving and loading, rewinding and fast-forwarding gameplay (although this is basically cheating), and pixel display options, customizing one's session of Sega indulgence is a breeze. The menu interface, whilst elaborately impressive in its replication of a 90's bedroom, slightly sacrifices usability. An alternative streamlined menu interface would've been a welcome feature.Have you ever BEANten this game? (I'll show myself out.) You can't beat some good ol' ninja-ness.
Understandably, each and every player will favor different offerings from Sega Genesis Classics' treasure trove of zingers. Personally, I sink my spare hours into the Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog inspired Puyo Puyo reskin Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, Shinobi III: Return Of The Ninja Master (mega soundtrack, killer boss encounters, fancy ninja stuff), and ToeJam & Earl (the single greatest dungeon crawling cooperative video game ever!). Of course, Sonic The Hedgehog 2 gets taken for a spin on occasion, as does Alien Storm, Dynamite Headdy, Golden Axe, Ristar, Streets Of Rage, alongside a few others that fall into my personal amalgamation of childhood favourites. When all is said and done however, SEGA Genesis Classics is worth the price of admission for ToeJam & Earl alone, it's a crazy good time if couch co-op is your cup of tea.Aliens, lemonade, cute girls in a hot tub; What's not to like?
Unfortunately, Sega Genesis Classics falls a smidgen short of being the definitive collection it so visibly intends to be. With no Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles (by far the most notable absence), alongside a missing Ecco The Dolphin and its sequel, their non-inclusion is questionable considering they've graced multiple prior iterations of this collection. Ecco's escapades boast a significant cult following, and Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles is to Sega's gem collection what Super Mario Bros. 3 is to Nintendo's.
Minor gripes aside, Sega Genesis Classics is what it is: A bundle of old Sega games that can be enjoyed on your sleek 'n' shiny current console of preference. It's not the definitive collection it aspires to be, and the menu interface flaunts a fair bit of clunkiness, but if nostalgia's your itch, this could very well be the scratch you need. Sega Genesis Classics serves up a heavy dosage of 'trip down memory lane' joy, regardless of its shortcomings.
- Plenty of retro titles to delve into.
- Expansive visual customization features.
- ToeJam & Earl (it's fan-bloody-tastic!).
- It's not quite a complete collection.
- The menu interface can at times elicit tedium.

The Balam 245 and 300 are giant baits with "three superpowers", a great action at high speeds, complete stillness when dead-sticking and a perfect bait to utilize the "Eight-Trap Method."
The ultra-high-speed retrieve, which was unprecedented in most big baits, is possible with a multi-joint body, and stable swimming even with fast retrieves.
The fast retrieve is key to trigger reactions around structure. The tight, ultra-high pitch sound from the segments make it appeal to bass even more.
When dead-sticking the bait, the silicon tail and natural look make it look like an easy meal for a big bass.
The "Eight-Trap Method" can turn followers into biters. This final move is a way to fool big bass that are right next to the boat.

Semantic segmentation algorithms with up to 45 convolutional layers are applied to recognize bridge components from images of complex scenes. One of the challenges in such scenarios is to get the recognition results consistent with high-level scene structure using limited amount of training data. To impose the high-level scene consistency, this research combines 10-class scene classification and 5-class bridge component classification. Three approaches are investigated to combine scene classification results into bridge component classification: (a) naïve configuration, (b) parallel configuration, and (c) sequential configuration of classifiers. The proposed approaches, sequential configuration in particular, are demonstrated to be effective in recognizing bridge components in complex scenes, showing less than 1% of accuracy loss from the naïve/parallel configuration for bridge images, and less than 1% false positives for the nonbridge images.

RE: How to create a cross-subsidiary Work Order
Hi everyone,
So we have assembly items that are built on order. So usually, when we create an SO that includes an assembly item, on save that SO triggers a Work Order to be created. That's great.
However, we have a US and Canadian subsidiary. Currently, our CAD subsidiary performs all of the assembly work using CAD inventory.
When we create an SO for a US customer and add that assembly item, it doesn't allow us. I get this error:
Items supplied by special order or drop shipment must be using an inventory location that is in the subsidiary of the sales order. Please change the inventory location value.
Anyone know a fix for this? Thanks in advance.
Thanks Kevin! Are all these setups out of the box features? or requires custom/scripting?

Pride Goeth …
Mark Zuckerberg's been having a rough go of it of late. I'm not saying it's an infallible bellwether. But when you take heat in two articles published in Inc. on the same day, chances are your decision-making is something less than exemplary.
Exhibit A
On February 4, Inc. published an article entitled, "Facebook Just Had Its Most Disappointing Quarter Ever. Mark Zuckerberg's Response Is the 1 Thing No Leader Should Ever Do". It's chock-full of pertinent goodies. But the money quote is this:
Mark Zuckerberg pointed at two tech rivals as the source of Facebook's problems: Apple and TikTok … "People have a lot of choices for how they want to spend their time, and apps like TikTok are growing very quickly," Zuckerberg said. "And this is why our focus on [Facebook's newest video product] Reels is so important over the long-term. As is our work to make sure that our apps are the best services out there for young adults." Then, Zuckerberg repeated the same finger-pointing at an all-hands meeting on Thursday … he again told employees that the company's focus was on Reels … a direct copy from TikTok …. The thing is, you're never going to be a better version of your competition.
That's clear and present evidence of COTUS (Center of the Universe Syndrome). Zuck's always been the center of his own universe. But maybe $89.6 billion in personal net worth — even after a $31 billion loss — is enough of a cocoon to keep one sufficiently shielded from the interests of his own company, let alone reality.
Exhibit B
On the same day, Inc. published another article called, "The Real Reasons Facebook Tanked". The article makes much of the fact that Facebook's products and its brand are aging and that its demographic targets should have been shifting. But this is the kill shot:
It's hard to keep people loving on your brand when they can't trust whether you're keeping their data private, when they know that you're playing favorites while enforcing rules, and when they're painfully aware that you're making money hand over fist by spreading poisonous misinformation. As a result, nobody trusts Zuckerberg or his judgment, all of which casts a deep pallor on the metaverse strategy, which (if he and his firm still held substantial brand goodwill) might otherwise cause investors to overlook other problems.
To paraphrase: If you take your eye off the ball, don't act surprised when you lose it.
Hubris by Any Other Name
Zuck's specific problem is that he's always been the fair-haired boy; the wunderkind; the self-absorbed, Harvard dropout, would-be genius. His bigger and more general problem is that ego will never allow you to be wrong. It will never allow you to question or to be questioned. It will never allow you to be open-minded enough to embrace the disparate perspectives and ideas on which innovation depends.
It's 2022. The world is changing faster by the minute. No innovation, no future.
If you'd rather be right than be successful, you won't be either one.
Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
(Proverbs 16:18)

Adding a privacy fence to your yard is a great way to increase your home's curb appeal while also keeping your family safe from unwanted visitors. However, you'll need to know what to look for and how to install one for the best results.
There are a number of different materials that you can choose from when installing a privacy fence. The material you choose will greatly affect the cost of the project. For example, treated wood is an inexpensive option and is also easy to install. Likewise, masonry is the perfect material for an elaborate design.
If you aren't in the mood to install a fence yourself, you can hire a professional to do the work for you. The cost of hiring a professional can vary depending on the area you live in. For example, you can expect to pay anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars.
Depending on the area you live in, you may also need to pay a building permit. Be sure to check with your local building inspector for more information. You can also consult your local zoning office. They can give you the exact measurements of your property plot.
In addition to the cost of materials, you'll also need to account for the cost of labor and permits. You'll also want to check with your local building inspector to find out if there are any building restrictions on privacy fences in your area. For example, you may need a permit if you plan to install one on a sloping lot or near a creek.
As with any home improvement project, you may need to hire a professional to help you get the most out of your money. For example, you may want to hire a professional surveyor to determine the best spot to install your fence. This will help prevent any costly surprises down the road.
While there are a number of ways to build a privacy fence, the most practical is to install a wood privacy fence. This material is a good choice because it provides a natural look and is easy to install. Depending on the type of wood you choose, you may need to coat the fence to prevent rot and protect it from pests.

You are ideal about the combined messages. The site for the U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Italy suggests you "should attain an Worldwide Driving Permit before leaving the U.S." But a number of paragraphs later on notes "tourists may also use their valid American driver's license if accompanied by an formal translation in Italian." I talked to a bunch of Italy journey authorities to kind out the procedures.
Duncan Greenfield-Turk, taking care of director and chief journey designer for International Travel Moments, instructed me he advises anyone who options on driving in a foreign region — Italy and otherwise — to get an Worldwide Driving Allow (IDP). He also stated the procedures for driving in Italy are obvious: You will have to possibly have an Italian driver's license or a single issued by a European Union country. If you do not have 1 of people, you will need to get a IDP to have with your dwelling country driver's license.
Rental automobile businesses may check with you for both your U.S. license and IDP to select up your car or truck, but not always, states Rocco Giuseppe Gambardella, who owns the Amalfi Coast culinary ordeals firm Bè Authentic Dwelling Expertise with his wife, Carla. It "depends on the car rental companies," he stated, so you could hardly ever will need to current an IDP although you're in the state.
That's been the situation for American vacation journalist Angel F. Castellanos, who claims he's never ever had challenges getting rental cars and trucks or driving in Italy with out an IDP. Even when he's gotten dashing tickets, "I've never experienced to current my license to a police officer," Castellanos said.
Essential traffic violations are captured by digicam footage, then tickets get despatched to vacationers later. Individuals have been expensive, Castellanos warns, and occur by way of the rental vehicle providers who cost provider fees on top of the violation.
But in the case you do get pulled about by Italian law enforcement or get in a vehicle incident, and you really don't have the allow, you can get fined hundreds of euros. And Kathy McCabe, host of the PBS show "Dream of Italy," claims that the necessity has been enforced a lot more generally in current many years.
7 Italy holidays that test every journey type
Fortuitously, it's quick to get an IDP, McCabe suggests. There's a $20 cost, as well as tax, to use for a single as a

"True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their own."
― Nikos Kazantzakis
I believe that everybody is born to do a specific job. I was born to be a teacher, in the most profound sense of the term. Throughout my educational career of more than 25 years, I've been working to show a way and set an example to the students. I've been doing this as a librarian, as a teacher of English and ToK, and as an educational advisor. In all my roles and positions I've endeavoured not only to mediate knowledge but also to be a point of orientation for those who couldn't find their way in the maze of possibilities that suddenly opened up for them, or who just wanted to share their sorrow or happiness with someone. I wasn't simply the giver in these encounters but also the receiver of a great deal of love, appreciation and knowledge. I died a little each time a year graduated, and was reborn with the arrival of a new one, since just as students change year by year, so do teachers change their thinking, revise their methods, and learn new things with the students. This is what keeps us young. And whenever a former student, maybe even someone you taught 15 years ago, writes you to thank you for the kindness and knowledge that you gave them back then, you know you're on the right track and do the job that you were assigned to.
Why Kőrösi?
Because it has the promise of renewal. Because the teachers here serve as a bridge for the students. Because it seems that both the teachers and the students are happy and content in this community.
Why IB?
IB is also a bridge: a bridge to an international community in which students learn critical thinking and reasoning, can see how the different school subjects relate to one another, and realize that it's always best to look at things from several angles before making a decision. By the time they leave this community, they will have been endowed with ample knowledge and an international perspective that will pave their way to any renowned college or university.

What, did Schiff SLEEP through Obama's presidency? Using either the historical impeachment standards OR their goofy new ones, Obama's got WAY more strikes against him than Trump EVER did!
When talking about impeachment, Schiff tried to play the part of an impartial defender of the Constitution.
Someone who puts country above party (and thus, frames Republicans as doing exactly the opposite).
Rep. Adam Schiff: "I don't think any of us have any question that had Barack Obama engaged in the activity … every one of these Republicans would be voting to impeach him."
"I hope to hell … if it were Barack Obama, I would vote to impeach him." https://t.co/GlcWTIu29g pic.twitter.com/0JadPTbMik
— ABC News Politics (@ABCPolitics) December 15, 2019
Here's how he smeared the Republican as blind partisans and himself as a righteous defender of all that is good and right … on the same network that pressured the firing of an innocent person for 'leaking' an embarrassing clip about ABC burying the Jeffrey Epstein story.
So we know just how committed they are to reporting the unvarnished truth over there.
"Why are Republicans placing this president above their oath of office?" Schiff asked Sunday on ABC's This Week.
"I don't think any of us have any question that had Barack Obama engaged in the activity … every one of these Republicans would be voting to impeach him," he continued. "I have to hope to hell if it were Barack Obama, I would vote to impeach him." —
Is he lying? Of course he is. Here's how we can know.
The short answer is 'because his mouth is moving'. After all, he's got a collection of 'Pinnochios' of his own, and the Horowitz report shredded the lies in the Memo Schiff released in response to the now-vindicated Nunes memo.
But let's get to some specifics.
What are Schiff's claims? That Trump abused his power, and that he and his administration have obstructed Congress.
The easiest place to start debunking that claim is, obviously, Eric Holder.
The House has voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress over his failure to turn over documents related to the Fast and Furious scandal, the first time Congress has taken such a dramatic move against a sitting Cabinet official.
The vote was 255-67, with 17 Democrats voting in support of a criminal contempt resolution, which authorizes Republicans leaders to seek criminal charges against Holder. This Democratic support came despite a round of behind-the-scenes lobbying by senior White House and Justice officials – as well as pressure from party leaders – to support Holder. — Politico
Adam Schiff's name was NOT among the 17 members that voted FOR a Criminal Contempt against Eric Holder. There goes any claim that he takes 'Contempt of Congress' as a serious offense. Worth noting is the fact that, as a direct result of 'Fast and Furious' gun-walking scandal, an American law enforcement official was killed.
But what else might Obama have been challenged on?
How about going to war without Congressional approval?
President Obama is again asserting his right to act unilaterally and without congressional approval in going to war. In what has become a mantra for this Administration, Obama reportedly told members of Congress that he does not need congressional approval to unleash a comprehensive military campaign against the Islamic State. The President informed a few members at a dinner — a striking image of how low congressional authority has become in our tripartite system of government. — jonathan Turley
What about the use of Executive Privilege? This is what is being cited as evidence of Trump's 'Contempt of Congress'.
Obama cloaked the Fast And Furious scandal in Executive Privilege to put it beyond the reach of Congress. That is PRECISELY the sort of 'abuse of authority' that Schiff claims he would have voted impeachment on.
What else might we wonder about? We could look at Obama's (mis)treatment of journalists, weaponizing the IRS against a political enemy (the Tea Party) to influence the outcome of the 2012 election. Obama's sketchy hot mic moment with Russia. Brennan's efforts to spy on the Senate:
"The facts will come out," Brennan told NBC News in March after Senator Dianne Feinstein issued a blistering condemnation of the CIA on the Senate floor, accusing his agency of hacking into the computers used by her intelligence committee's staffers. "Let me assure you the CIA was in no way spying on [the committee] or the Senate," he said.
After the CIA inspector general's report completely contradicted Brennan's statements, it now appears Brennan was forced to privately apologize to intelligence committee chairs in a "tense" meeting earlier this week. Other Senators on Thursday pushed for Brennan to publicly apologize and called for an independent investigation. — Source: Guardian
And what do all these things have in common?
Schiff had nothing to say about any of them.
He's a partisan hack… nothing more. And for him to accuse others of that same fault is beyond laughable. Now it's just sad.

Here we go loopty loo, here we go loopty li. Here we go loopty loo, all on a Saturday night. Crude oil prices are getting loopy as a historic turnaround for the major U.S. oil import terminal LOOP, otherwise known as the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, is getting looped around for now exporting oil. This comes as oil prices looped back around as global oil demand numbers led by record oil imports in India and another reported drop in Cushing, Okla., supplies continue to support prices as global stock prices rebound. Are you loopy yet? If you're not, you will be.
U.S. oil exports will continue to play a major factor in an increasingly oil-hungry world. According to Platts, the LOOP will for the first time use its offshore terminal to fill a ship for export as opposed to using it to empty oil tankers from abroad to meet U.S. import needs. A Saudi tanker that is buying U.S. oil to be shipped to China is a historic development in the changing landscape for oil.
Platts reported that the LOOP, which began operations in 1981, is the first and only deepwater oil port in the United States, and is presently the only U.S. oil facility capable of offloading vessels or supertankers. The "supertankers" are the largest tankers, including very large crude carriers known as VLCC or ULCCs, with capacities over 250,000 pounds of Dead Weight Tonnage (DWT). These ships can transport 2,000,000 barrels (320,000 m3) of oil (318,000 metric tons of oil).
Shell will then lay claim to the continental United States' first true VLCC export of crude -- an export without the need for reverse lightering -- when the vessel Shaden sails from the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port later this week laden with a medium sour crude, according to market sources.
The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port reported late Monday thta it "has moored a VLCC supertanker and initiated its detailed test and checkout procedure." The tanker known as the "Shaden" will receive crude from LOOP's newly bidirectional pipeline connecting LOOP's onshore infrastructure with an offshore deepwater mooring station.
Market sources said Shell chartered the Shaden, a Saudi Arabian-flagged VLCC owned by Bahri (the top VLCC owner globally) that entered service at the end of 2017 and will take the crude into its refining system. Market sources were split on what grade Shell is taking, with two saying offshore Gulf of Mexico, Shell-produced Mars and another two saying the crude blend LOOP Sour. Both Shell and LOOP declined to comment. Yet, the thought that the U.S. would be filling supertankers of oil for export to China would have been thought to be impossible or even crazy just a few years ago by many people.
Maybe we need to send a supertanker of oil to India where demand for oil imports hit a record high in January. The Economic Times reported that India imported a record 4.93 million barrels of oil in January to feed its expanded refining capacity and meet rising demand, ship-tracking data obtained from sources and data compiled by Thomson Reuters Oil Research & Forecasts showed. The world's third-biggest oil importer shipped in 13.6% more oil in January than a year earlier and about 12.5% more than the previous month, the data showed.
The country is set to surpass China as the fastest-growing oil products market in Asia, with fuel demand growing by 6.1% in 2018, according to a report by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. FGE expects India's January crude runs to reach 5.27 million bpd, about 280,000 bpd higher than a year earlier, as the country's new refining capacities are operating at almost full rate.
With stock market stability coming back, it's back to a focus on tightening U.S. oil supply. Despite record U.S. oil production, supply in the key Cushing delivery point continues to tighten. Genscape reported that Cushing oil supply fell by another 1.78 million barrels in the last four days. According to EIA, Cushing stocks were at 69,420 in April and are now at only 32,677. Now subtract another 1.78 million barrels and you get the picture! The key benchmark delivery point is going to start running dry.

(JTA) — A winter resident of a predominantly Jewish condominium complex may not use a second condo to hold daily prayers, a Florida magistrate ruled.
Special Magistrate Carolyn Ansay ruled March 23 in West Palm Beach that Isaac Feder's use of the condo in the Century Village complex for daily prayer services violated the zoning code. He has 30 days to stop holding prayer services in the condo or pay a $100 a day fine.
Residents of the complex had complained that Feder had turned his second condominium into a synagogue, the Palm Beach Post reported.
Many of the neighbors who packed the hearing room on March 23 were Jewish. They said the service-goers were disruptive and left their trash in public areas.
Feder, 64, said he used the second condo for services because two strokes made it difficult for him to get to a nearby Orthodox synagogue. In an effort to prove residency, he said he slept in the condo about two weeks out of the year and that his children and guests also used it.
Feder has returned to his other residence in Monroe, N.Y. His lawyer told the Palm Beach Post that he plans an appeal and could file a religious discrimination suit in federal court.

A comprehensive guide to winter hiking
I never really gave any thought to winter hiking until we moved to Denver. I'd been snowshoeing twice, but that's about it. Here in Colorado, though, there are some truly stunning winter hiking opportunities, so we decided to tackle a new challenge.
Before heading out for a hike in winter conditions, there are some additional considerations that aren't a typical part of summer hiking. With lots of help from other people and some of my own research, I've gradually acquired the knowledge and gear necessary to stay warm and safe while winter hiking. That's what I'd like to pass along to you today. We'll talk about necessary and optional gear, choosing an appropriate hike, and what to expect when you're on the trail.

After years of traveling to Asia my wife Susan decided
to join me on a trip. It was our 20th anniversary and
to celebrate we spent the weekend in Bali between my
work schedules. The "fun" actually started when we got
to the airport and just before we were ready to board,
we were told the flight would be delayed several hours.
My wife and I headed to a small restaurant and picked
up breakfast and read the newspaper.
At the table next to us were three to us young kids we
found out were from the military and were also on the
same delayed flight as us. They had spent significant
time overseas and had got 2 weeks leave to go home.
They told us there were about 50 military on the
flight. We sat and talked for a while and found out
more about them. There was one girl Kim who is 22 years
old and two guys, Ryan, 23, and John, 21. All three
were married and had not seen their spouses in quite
They all joked about the lack of sex recently. Right
away I could tell my wife had the hots for John. He was
only about 5'10 but was in perfect shape and had
muscles busting out of his shirt. Ryan was about 6'3
also in good shape but did not have the muscles like
John. Kim also looked hot in her tight t-shirt with her
firm fit body and perky boobs. Her husband is also in
the military and she had not seen him for almost a
She joked about her fingers being the only thing
keeping her happy these days. She had a baby when she
was 19 and was going home to see her daughter. They
finally called that our flight was ready to board so we
all headed to the gate and we figured that is the last
we would see of them since they were in economy and we
were in business class.
When we arrived we all got re-scheduled on flights the
next day. There were a limited number of hotel rooms
and only those in business class got keys. As we were
getting ready to leave, we met up with Kim, Ryan and
John and we found out they did not get a room and they
would have to stay at the airport over night. My wife
quickly suggested they stay in our room. I went back to
the line and asked to change to a room with 2 double
beds so the five of us could share one room. She
checked with the hotel and let us bump up to a suite
for $100 and we grabbed it quickly and headed out to
the shuttle.
After we checked in everyone was ready to have some fun
so we called room service and ordered up a bottle of
whiskey and some beers. It had been a long day for
everyone so we all took turns taking showers and
cleaning us and then we settled in the open room with
two couches and turned on a movie and opened up the
beers and each did a shot. We ordered a couple pizzas
and did a couple more shots and everyone was having a
great time. My wife ended up on the couch with the John
and Ryan on both her arms and Kim was right there with
me snuggled up watching the movie.
Susan was definitely getting frisky with the two guys.
She had her hands on their legs and no doubt at times
rubbing their crotches. Things kept progressing when my
wife turned towards John and started undoing his pants.
The guys looked at me and I said "go for it." I could
see things getting carried away so I asked if anyone
had any condoms and no one did so I ran to the hotel
shop and bought 2 three packs. When I got back Susan
had John's cock in her mouth and was doing her oral
My wife had only touched two cocks in her life. The one
before me was her high school boyfriend who she had
sucked but she never fucked. We met when she was an 18
year old freshman and I was 22 and a senior and we got
married when she was 20 and had our first child at 23
after she graduated.
During Ryan's blowjob, John was not to be left out.
John was behind her and had his hands in her shorts
with at least one finger in her pussy There was clearly
a wet spot on her shorts from her excitement. Kim was
next to the couch and I watched her help John remove
her shorts. Susan did not miss a beat and kept sucking
on Ryan's cock. I sat back on the couch and Kim joined
me and right away started rubbing at my hard cock
through my pants.
John stood up slid down his shorts and to my shock out
popped the largest cock I had ever seen. Ryan was about
the same size as me around 6 inches but John was at
least 8 inches if not more. John sat back on the couch
and Susan shifted positions and took John's monster
cock into her mouth. She released it long enough to
look at Ryan's and say "Aren't you going to fuck me?"
Then she put the cock back in her mouth and had one
hand on the base stroking it and still had a mouthful.
I threw Ryan's one of the boxes of condoms and he
ripped open one of the packages and rolled it on. He
slid up behind her and mounted her doggy style and
started pounding away.
Kim at the same time got me out of my shorts and had my
cock in her mouth. John looked over at us and said to
Ryan, "Look, little Kimmy has a cock in her mouth, go
Kimmy go!"
I had a great view of the action and it did not take
long before I could feel me getting ready to explode.
About that time I saw Ryan pull out of Susan and rip
off the condom and spray his cum all over her ass and
back and then he collapsed on the couch. I told Kim I
was going to cum and she did not release me and I
sprayed my cum into her mouth. This was obviously not
the first cock she had sucked and she had no problems
swallowing it all down. Kim then got up and grabbed one
of the boxes of condoms and led me to the bedroom and
we left the other three to do what they wanted.
I helped Kim out of her clothes and had her lie on the
bed and I knelt by the side of the bed and lowered my
mouth to her pussy and buried my tongue as deep as I
could in her. Her juices had soaked her pussy and I
started working on her clit and put two fingers in her
pussy. It did not take long before all the excitement
got to her and she came screaming, "I'm cumming! Yesss!
Yesss! I'm cumming!!"
It was loud enough I am sure the people in the next
room heard her every word. I was hard again and
couldn't wait to bury my cock into her wet pussy. I
started grabbing a condom and she said "don't; I would
rather feel you inside of me." Some where during the
night I had told her that I had a vasectomy so there
was no chance to get pregnant.
I entered her in the missionary position and started
working my self in and out and then she said "fuck me
hard and fast" and I did as I was told and started
pumping as fast as I could and she came again and I
followed unloading my cum deep into her pussy. We laid
there for a few minutes and then I got up to clean up
and take a pee. When I got back Kim was sleeping worn
out from the long day of travel, alcohol and sex. I
helped her get under the covers and let her go back to
sleep with the cum still oozing out of her pussy.
I went back to check on the guys and now Ryan was
fucking Susan. This time she was on her back on the
couch and he was kneeling with her legs over his
shoulders and his cock fucking her pussy. John was on
the other couch I grabbed a beer and sat down by him
and watched my wife getting fucked a third time. Then I
realized there were still two condoms on the table.
I picked them up and looked at John and he said Susan
told him his cock was too big and she did not want him
to use a condom. Right then Ryan screamed out he was
cumming I guess injecting a 2nd dose of unprotected cum
into her. John could see I was hard again and asked
"Are you going to fuck her next?"
I said, "No I can do it any time, you go ahead."
Ryan pulled out and headed to the bathroom and John
cock quickly took his place. My wife blurted out, "My
god that feels big!"
John started thrusting his cock as deep as he could go
and by the look on my wife's face she loved it. It only
took a few deep thrusts and she had another orgasm and
John kept working it in and out. Ryan said he was tired
out and went to bed in the 2nd bed in the bedroom. John
kept going at Susan and he had her flip over and he
entered her from behind and right away started working
one and then two fingers into her ass.
I gave him my wife's vibrator and lubricant and he
worked that into her ass almost burying the vibrator
completely. He then asked "Can I fuck you in the ass?"
My wife just mumbled a low, "Yes, fuck me in the ass."
Her asshole is not a virgin but we only have anal sex
maybe every other year and most of the time I have to
beg and push it for weeks before she finally agrees.
This time she said yes as quick as he asked without
hesitation. He lubed up his cock and her a-hole and he
entered her from behind slowly until he was all the way
in. He then started working it in and out until right
before he came he pulled out and sprayed it all over
her ass.
I quickly took his place and slid my cock into her
gapping asshole left wide open by his oversized cock. I
came pretty quickly draining my cock deep into her anal
passage. John also headed off to bed and we followed.
Susan joined the guys in the one bed and I slept next
to Kim. I woke up to the sounds of sex all around.
Right next to me John was fucking Kim and on the other
bed Ryan was showing my wife a good time. John then
pulled out and ripped off the condom and sprayed it all
over Kim's boobs.
John said he was going to take a shower and left. Kim
rolled over and gave me a kiss and then put my boobs in
my face pushing me to lick them clean. She said, "Come
on, you know you want to."
I started kissing her boobs tasting the cum and
proceeded to lick up all that was there. Kim then got
on top of my hard on and started fucking me. Susan came
over and said, "So you like to eat other guys cum?"
Then she straddled my face and let Ryan's cum drip into
to my mouth. "Cum on baby," she said, "stick your
tongue in there."
I stuck my tongue in as deep as it would go and sucked
out as much cum as I could. John was done with the
shower and headed to breakfast and Ryan said he was
going to take a shower and Susan jumped off me and said
hold on I will join you. Kim kept riding me until I
came unloading into her pussy. When she had milked me
dry she then slid up and told me to suck the cum out of
My load was pretty big and it came oozing out quickly
almost gagging me but I got out as much as I could. As
I was doing this I could hear Susan screaming again
getting fucked in the shower. I kept licking Kim's
pussy until she came again. Kim headed to the shower
and joined the other two and I slept for a few minutes.
When they came out, Ryan and Kim headed to breakfast
Susan said she would wait for me.
About then John walked in and went right over to Susan.
She told him no since she just took a shower. He said
what about a blow job and then she said, "He'll suck
you off in you want." Then she said, "Actually, why
don't you fuck him in the ass, he likes that too."
My wife came over and had me get on all fours and
started to lubed up my ass and his cock. She started by
working the vibrator in and out. When she got me
loosened up John moved in and pressed the head of his
cock to my hole and slowly started working it in.
My wife said, "Don't worry, you won't hurt him I use a
strap-on dildo on him all the time."
With that John started working it in and out until he
was about to cum and then he pulled out and came on my
ass. Ryan walked in with Kim and he asked if he could
and my wife said sure so he took off his clothes and
slid his lubed cock in my ass. His felt much smaller
and actually felt kind of good. As he was fucking me,
Kim walked over and grabbed much hard on and started
giving me a hand job until I started squirting all over
the sheets. Ryan kept pounding away and rather than
pulling out he buried himself as deep as he could and I
could feel his cock spurting inside of me.
Everyone was pretty spent and I finally got to take a
shower and Kim joined me. My cock was spent and just
would not come back to life one last time to fuck Kim
in the shower. When we walked out we found Susan on all
fours with John underneath her in her pussy and Ryan
was fucking her ass.
I let them be and Kim went with me so I could get an
early lunch since I had missed breakfast. When we got
back the three of them just got out of the shower and
were getting dressed. Unfortunately it was getting late
and we had to end the activities. Susan, John and Ryan
went for lunch and Kim and hung back. Kim wanted more
and grabbed my hand and led me to the bed room and we
ripped off each others clothes and fucked one last time
finishing as they got back.
We hurriedly had to pack up the last of the things to
catch the shuttle back to the airport. The flights all
left on schedule and we all made it home safe. Nine
months later we got the last souvenir from the trip, a
baby boy. Based on the large size of his little penis
we are pretty sure it is John's baby. Two years later
we had a baby girl and that one was Ryan's.
Now we have 4 children and the older kids love that we
had a 2nd family. We still keep in touch with Kim, John
and Ryan and have met up with all of them for an

Great Business, Friendly, Awesome Deal!
Found my Rav4 online @ their store. Had some miles but priced super fairly, excellent condition and exactly what we were looking for! Brett and family made it so easy and friendly to do the transaction. He was thorough and explained everything well. His dad is soon nice and helped with some details too. This is what a family business should be! Fair, friendly and with the right product to sell. Strongly recommend over any large outfit. Keep up the great work guys!!
Great place to buy a used car or truck
Bought a 2003 ford ranger with low mileage at a good price. Truck was in excellent condition. No complaints. Recommenced. would buy here again. Had car checked by mechanic. Only problem was a weak shock.
Worth the Trip
Even though I don't live near this dealer, I'd make the trip again. They were very friendly, and had the best price on my car within 200 miles! It was a colorful experience. but I will check with this dealer first for any future car needs.
Great transaction
Brett was very kind and helpful. We felt we got a good price and a good vehicle. Hopefully we won't need a new car anytime soon, but when we do we will definitely look him up again.
Magnificent Car Buying Experience
I am recommending to all of my loved ones, to check out Whitney Motors first for their care needs. After a long search I finally found a dealer that is honest, fair and caring. I have bought many cars over the years and have never had such a stress-free experience. It is easy to tell that this business has been in the family for a while because, they care about their customers. They went above and beyond their responsibilities to help us find the perfect car. Thanks Dennis J.
Excellent experience buying a Used Car today
We were shopping for a used vehicle for our son - a college student. Other dealers were too aggressive - but, Brett Whitney at Whitney Motors was very relaxed, no pressure and allowed us to shop at our convenience. We found just the right car and purchased it about an hour ago. I had to share this information because Whitney was so impressive! Family owned/operated...literally, Brett sold the vehicle, his Dad did the prep of the car and his Mom assisted with the accounting. A must visit when looking for a used car!
Great fame oh owned business!
Great family owned business. Everyone was super nice and very flexible!
Incredibly Pleased with the entire process
I came to Brett looking for a new -to-me car with low miles that wouldn't break my budget. He was incredibly helpful in leading me to the perfect car for me. He kept my budget in mind and set me up with a car that I could not be happier with. All of his cars are clean and very well priced. I would be hard pressed to find a better deal than the one I got with Brett. He made the process very streamlined, and was super helpful whenever I had any questions. I would definitely send anyone looking for a car his way.
Ive known Brett for many years.Ive bought alot of cars from them and have sent alot of people to them. they always have clean,nice looking cars for a great price.
Great Car at a Great Price from a Good Dealer
My wife, son, and I had spent many days contacting dealers and individuals while looking for a good dependable used car for our son. Many dealerships were not interested in talking to us or the vehicles they had were extremely high mileage and looked worn out. My wife heard about Whitney Motors from a friend and we decided to go look at the lot. While on the way there, I checked their website and found 2 potential vehicles immediately. My son and I took the car for a drive and my son was so excited about how it felt and drove. The vehicle was priced extremely well and had less than half of the miles we were expecting at this price range. The buying process was very smooth, efficient and fair. I will recommend this dealership to everyone I know looking for dependable used cars.

Final Fantasy 1 Walkthrough - Chapter 2
The chapter starts when you arrive in Elfheim. If you forget how to get here I recommend you go back to Final Fantasy 1 Walkthrough - Chapter 1. That goes into more details on where this town is and how to get here. Once you're in this town you'll want to stock up on all of the available Armor, Weapons and Spells.
This town sells both Level 3 and Level 4 spells so you'll have to be stingy with what you buy your first time here. Grind outside of town until you can at the very least afford the White Magic spells for your White Mage. I'd recommend grinding until your entire team is Level 8 at least before heading out to the Marsh Cave. You could handle it at level 7 but it'll be really tough and you'll be risking a Game Over if you get unlucky.
If you don't have much Gil, here's the few things that I strongly recommend you buy the very moment you arrive in this town.
White Magic: Cure2, Heal
Black Magic: Bolt2, Fire2, Ice2 and Haste
Weapons: Mythril Sword (Unless you bought Battle Axe or Broadsword in Pravoca)
Armor: Splurge as much Gil as you can here, high Defense will be important moving forward - especially for your White Mage.
After you're finished in town leave and head west until you hit the ocean and then south until you reach the Marsh Cave. If you're having trouble finding it, use my screen shot below for guidance. It's basically a little hole in the overworld.
Out of all the dungeons you've done before - this one will be by far the hardest. As aforementioned I recommend at the very least Level 8 before you come to this dungeon. I also recommend you come well stocked on Antidotes and Potions because you're going to be healing and curing your party a whole butt load. If you find this dungeon too hard - grind to Level 10 and then come back here. You'll plow right on through it at that point!
If you want all the treasures in Marsh Cave, when you first enter take the northern route. There's two chests up north, one with Gil and one with a Dagger. The southern route is the one you'll want to take to complete the dungeon.
Northern Path Treasure Chests: 620 Gil and Dagger
Southern Path Treasure Chests: Broadsword, 680 Gil, Steel Plate, Cottage, Copper Armlet, 295 Gil, 385 Gil
When you're ready to fight the boss of this dungeon, approach and inspect the Treasure Chest surrounded by statues on B3. When you do, two Piscodemons will attack you. Assuming that you and your team are Level 9 or Level 10 these guys should be a piece of cake for you.
After you defeat them loot the Crown from the Treasure Chest then head on back to Elfheim. Rest in Elfheim, restock on supplies and buy any new spells, armor or weapons that you can afford for your team. The next spot we're going to is Western Keep which is to the northwest of Elfheim. It's not a town, it's another dungeon.
From Elfheim travel west again, like you're going to Marsh Cave, but instead of going south go north. You'll eventually find yourself at Western Keep, shown in my screen shot below. Inside this dungeon you'll want to approach Astos and talk to him, this will begin a boss battle.
Astos has about 170 health and has an attack which can instantly kill a member of your party called Reaper. Along with Reaper, Astos comes equipped with multiple powerful spells that will hit your entire party for over 100 damage each! It's important you keep everyone well healed during this fight since Astos can wipe your party in two turns if he wants to.
Sometimes you can get extremely unlucky in this fight and have Astos Reaper your White Mage on the first turn or use a magic spell twice in a row and wipe your party. This fight is more about being lucky than having a high level party. That's why it's recommended you save before the fight.
You'll receive the Crystal Eye as a reward for defeating Astos. This item should ring a bell if you've been following the guide until now. If it doesn't... Hint hint, it's the same item that Matoya was looking for in Matoya's Cave.
If you forget where Matoya's Cave is, use Chapter 1 of my Guide <Insert Link>. Give her the Crystal Eye and she'll give you a Jolt Tonic which can be used to wake up the sleeping prince in Elfheim's Castle. Return to Elfheim and use the Crystal Eye on the Prince to awaken him. As a reward he'll give you the Mystic Key!
Now you have two choices, you can run around to every dungeon/area we've been to already and use the Mystic Key (highly recommended you do, you get a ton of loot that will save you a lot of Gil) or you can skip ahead to the next town which is Mt. Duergar. If this is your choice then head to Cornelia and use the Mystic Key inside the castle to find Nitro Powder. Once you have Nitro Powder in hand skip ahead to the next part of the guide.
Doors to open with the Mystic Key
1) Elven Castle Treasure Chests: Mythril Hammer, Bronze Gloves and 730 Gil
2) Cornelia Castle Treasure Chests: Crosier, Saber, Mythril Knife, Steel Plate, Iron Shield and Nitro Powder
3) Temple of Chaos Treasure Chests: Rune Blade, Werebane, Gold Needle
4) Western Keep Treasure Chests: Falchion, Power Staff and Steel Gloves
5) Marsh Cave Treasure Chests: Mythril Knife, 1020 Gil and Silver Armlet
For both Elven Castle and Cornelia Castle you'll want to hug the right outside wall of the castle and follow it around north to find the secret rooms with the Treasure Chests. The Nitro Powder in Cornelia is the most important item for you to grab before moving forward to the next town/dungeon.
Temple of Chaos you'll find the Mystic Doors on the right hand side of the dungeon. Both at the southern and northern ends there'll be Treasure Chests. Be warned that the rooms with the chests in them contain higher level enemies than the rest of the dungeon!
Marsh Cave every Treasure Chest is on B3 of the dungeon. Much like Temple of Chaos before it, the rooms with these chests have very powerful enemies. You will typically run into Piscodemons, the boss that we fought in this dungeon when we were last here.... Sometimes you'll encounter four or five of them per battle and it's very difficult to run from them! Bring lots of Potions before you come down here!
Continue to Final Fantasy 1 Walkthrough - Chapter 3 (Mt. Duergar, Melmond, Terra Cave, Titan's Cave, Sage's Cave & Earth Crystal)
My party at the end of Chapter 2.

It seems that a significant piece of Hollywood history was just discovered laying around the drama department of The Catholic University of America in Washington D.C. What is believed to be a dress that Judy Garland wore to play Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz was found laying on some mailboxes.
Lecturer Matt Ripa had long heard that there were rumors that this piece of memorabilia was located somewhere in the Hartke building on campus, so he had spent hours hunting around to see if he really could find Dorothy Gale's long lost dress.
Just when he was starting to think he was searching in vain, he spotted a bag on top of the mailboxes.
"I was curious what was inside and opened the bag. Inside was a shoebox, and inside the shoebox was the dress! I couldn't believe it," Ripa said.
"My co-worker and I quickly grabbed some gloves and looked at the dress and took some pictures before putting it back in the box and heading over to the (University) Archives. Needless to say, I have found many interesting things in Hartke during my time at Catholic University, but I think this one takes the cake!"

Catholic University's Tower newspaper wrote in 1973 that Dorothy's dress had been a gift from actress Mercedes McCambridge, who had worked as an artist in residence the prior year, to drama head Rev. Gilbert Hartke. Father Hartke's gift was meant to inspire "hope, strength, and courage" among the university students.
Over the years, numerous Dorothy costumes have been discovered decades after the classic movie was released, and according to the university, this new find has strong characteristics that prove its authenticity. It's no wonder this is an exciting find...the dress is as iconic to the character as Dorothy's ruby slippers.
"All of the dresses have certain verifiable characteristics, including, for example, a 'secret pocket' on the right side of the pinafore skirt for Dorothy's handkerchief, 'Judy Garland' written by hand in a script specific to a single person who labeled all of the extant dresses in the same hand. Apparently, the thin material of the blouse was prone to tearing when Garland took it off after filming, and a seamstress often repaired it before she donned it for the next shoot," the university said in a release.
The dress is currently being preserved in the university's special collections for safekeeping in a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment.
