Flan is a term used to describe the Spanish, Mexican and Portuguese version of Cr�me Caramel that is a custard dessert with a sweet layer of soft caramel on top. The caramel flan is a very popular dessert in Spain and Mexico, the flan recipe typically consists of whole eggs, milk, vanilla extract for an exquisite vanilla flavoring and a caramel coating. The word Flan actually came from the old French �flaon� that was derived from the Latin word �flado� which means flat cake. There are other flavor alternatives such as almonds and various fruits. This section covers the history of flan, important facts and the flan related products you can find at MexGrocer.com.
The origins of Flan have been traced as far back as ancient Rome, where recipes containing this popular dessert were found. The Romans developed a custard concoction known as Flan, with the use of eggs for domesticated chickens they kept and the culinary knowledge of the Greeks. Although this tasty dish wasn�t as sweet as the flan we know today, it was aromatic and had a pleasant flavor since it was sweetened with honey.
After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Flan survived through years of transition, violence and barbarian invasions, making its way into Medieval Europe. It remained a sweet dish made from the mixture of eggs and cr�me to form the popular custard. The popularity of this sweet dessert spread all throughout Europe, in Spain it became a sweet custard dessert that was typically made with caramelized sugar which would later be adopted by Mexico.
In England the love for pastries led them to develop a different kind of custard from the typical Spanish and Mexican flan. The English created a pastry shell with an open top that was filled with custard and mixed with either fruits or nuts. The sweet custard came to the Americas upon Christopher Columbus�s discovery of the New World when he brought the Spanish culture with him (flan included). It has become linked to Mexico as a signature dessert of the country, flan is found in virtually every restaurant and kitchen. The traditional Mexican caramel flan recipe is made with sugar, eggs, vanilla and milk, though condensed milk from Nestle�s La Lechera is typically used. The custard is usually baked in a pan with a removable bottom so it can later be turned out of the mold and onto a plate for serving.
If you�re craving to have a delicious Mexican flan or are looking for a wonderful dessert to bring to a party, then look no further because MexGrocer.com has everything you need to make this simple and savory dessert.

The best care for your complexion doesn't have to involve pricey creams and facials. Check out these fresh, effective skincare solutions, tailored to your skin tone.
By Petra Guglielmetti
The expert: Ellen Marmur, MD, associate professor at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City
Complexion challenge: Fine lines
Pale skin has less melanin, a pigment that protects against UV radiation, than dark skin does. People with light complexions are vulnerable to the sun's aging effects because UV rays dissolve collagen, the tissue that prevents wrinkles from forming, Dr. Marmur says.
Skin solution: Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen year-round. Every. Single. Day. Use a moisturizer with SPF, and if you're going to be outside for more than a half hour, layer on another sunscreen. To help prevent wrinkles, boost your skin's collagen by dabbing on a retinol treatment before bed. A couple of times a week, use pads that contain glycolic acid to exfoliate.
Complexion challenge: Skin cancer
Fair skin is more susceptible to DNA damage caused by UV rays, which can lead to skin cancer. In fact, Caucasians are 22 times more likely to develop melanoma in any given year than African Americans.
Skin solution: "Once a month, scan your body from head to toe and front to back for odd-looking or changing moles," says Dr. Marmur, who is a skin cancer survivor. If a spot alters in size, color, or shape, see a derm right away.

The expert: Jessica Wu, MD, a dermatologist in Los Angeles and author of Feed Your Face
Complexion challenge: Sensitivity
Olive tones have fewer wrinkles, but they can become irritated more easily. "Since pigment cells are active, olive skin can react strongly to inflammation and produce a stain," Dr. Wu explains.
Skin solution: Stick to a gentle facial cleanser and use a mild moisturizer. Opt for a sunblock that has zinc oxide, which is less likely to aggravate your complexion. If past reactions have left you blotchy, gradually even things out by applying a daily treatment containing soy.
Complexion challenge: Eczema
Your skin is prone to these itchy patches, especially during the cold winter months. Even worse, once they clear up, they may leave behind spots that can take months to fade. "This is especially tricky on the body; the skin below the neck is thicker, so when patches occur, the pigment sinks deeper and is harder to treat," Dr. Wu says.
Skin solution: Dr. Wu uses Dove Sensitive Skin Body Wash with NutriumMoisture ($4.49, drugstores) and Vaseline Cocoa Butter Gel Body Oil ($3.99, drugstores), a combination that helps prevent flare-ups.

The expert: Hema Sundaram, MD, a Washington, D.C.-area dermatologist and laser specialist
Complexion challenge: Hyper-pigmentation
You're susceptible to dark patches that result from even the slightest skin injury. "Any inflammation can kick-start melanin production in your tone, leading to hyperpigmentation," Dr. Sundaram says.
Skin solution: Treat splotches by applying a bleaching cream with hydroquinone, niacinamide, or soy. Sunlight makes the condition more visible, so slather on a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Try a tinted moisturizer with SPF 30 that has light-diffusing particles to hide discolorations.
Complexion challenge: Acne
"Medium tones tend to have oilier skin, which is more acne prone," Dr. Sundaram says. "Hair-removal methods, such as tweezing, threading, and waxing, cause even more breakouts, because they traumatize your hair follicles, worsening the growth of pimple-causing bacteria."
Skin solution: Resist the urge to use superpowered cleansers and astringents. They'll overdry skin, prompting it to produce more oil. Instead, Dr. Sundaram suggests using a spot treatment with salicylic acid or pore-unclogging tea tree oil daily.

The expert: Heather Woolery-Lloyd, MD, a dermatologist in Miami and founder of Specific Beauty
Complexion challenge: Dark spots
You probably dread pimples more than your pale friends do. "When someone with dark skin has a blemish, it turns into a spot that lasts for four months on average," Dr. Woolery-Lloyd says.
Skin solution: Diminish acne marks with a daily fading treatment with kojic acid. Prevent new ones from forming by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Complexion challenge: Melasma
Every tone is susceptible to melasma, a condition in which patches of skin grow darker than the rest of the face. But because dark skin has the most melanin, the problem can be more pronounced.
Skin solution: "Melasma is a genetic, chronic, and often hormonal condition; there's no cure," Dr. Woolery-Lloyd says. A good sunscreen routine is crucial, because UV rays can darken areas even more. A recent study found that 30 percent of African Americans never use sun protection. Everyone faces the risk of skin cancer, so wearing SPF is a must. Slather a broad-spectrum product all over daily, and if you run outdoors, use a waxy SPF stick, which is less likely to slide off when you sweat, on your upper lip.

Not sure about Jordan - perhaps Karl Malone might be a better comparison. Phenomenal NBA career, an all-star, but missing the big one (NBA championship) from his resume. As great as Kwan was, she was never able to win the OGM, considered to be the highest level of achievement in her sport.
(although, surely on the national level you can make the Jordan argument)

Chrysler Group LLC /ˈkraɪslər/ is an American automobile manufacturer headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Italian multinational automaker Fiat S.p.A.[4] Chrysler was one of the "Big Three" American automobile manufacturers. It sells vehicles worldwide under its flagship Chrysler brand, as well as the Dodge, Jeep, and Ram brands; it also manufactures vehicles sold under the Fiat brand in North America. Other major divisions of Chrysler include Mopar, its automotive parts and accessories division, and SRT, its performance automobile division. In 2011, Chrysler Group (not including Fiat) was the twelfth biggest automaker in the world by production.[5]
The Chrysler Corporation was founded by Walter Chrysler in 1925,[6] out of what remained of the Maxwell Motor Company. Chrysler greatly expanded in 1928, when it acquired the Fargo truck company and the Dodge Brothers Company and began selling vehicles under those brands; that same year it also established the Plymouth and DeSoto automobile brands. In the 1970s, a number of factors including the 1973 oil crisis impacted Chrysler's sales, and by the late 1970s, Chrysler was on the verge of bankruptcy. Lee Iacocca was brought in as CEO and is credited with returning the company to profitability in the 1980s. In 1987, Chrysler acquired American Motors Corporation, which brought the profitable Jeep brand under the Chrysler umbrella.
In 1998, Chrysler merged with German automaker Daimler-Benz AG to form DaimlerChrysler; the merger proved contentious with investors and Chrysler was sold to Cerberus Capital Management and renamed Chrysler LLC in 2007. Like the other Big Three automobile manufacturers, Chrysler was hit hard by the automotive industry crisis of 2008–2010 and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization on April 30, 2009. On June 10, 2009, Chrysler emerged from the bankruptcy proceedings with the United Auto Workers pension fund, Fiat, and the U.S. and Canadian governments as principal owners. Over the next few years Fiat gradually acquired the other parties' shares while removing much of the weight of the loans (which carried a 21% interest rate) in a short period. By May 24, 2011, Chrysler LLC had repaid what it borrowed from the U.S. government five years early. January 1, 2014, announced a deal to purchase the rest of Chrysler from the United Auto Workers retiree health trust. The deal was completed on January 21, 2014, making Chrysler Group a wholly owned subsidiary of Fiat.[4]
The company was founded by Walter Chrysler (1875–1940) on June 6, 1925,[7][8] when the Maxwell Motor Company (est. 1904) was re-organized into the Chrysler Corporation.[9][10]
Walter Chrysler arrived at the ailing Maxwell-Chalmers company in the early 1920s. He was hired to overhaul the company's troubled operations (after a similar rescue job at the Willys-Overland car company).[11] In late 1923 production of the Chalmers automobile was ended.[12]
In January 1924, Walter Chrysler launched the well-received Chrysler automobile. The Chrysler was a 6-cylinder automobile, designed to provide customers with an advanced, well-engineered car, but at a more affordable price than they might expect. (Elements of this car are traceable to a prototype which had been under development at Willys during Chrysler's tenure).[13] The original 1924 Chrysler included a carburetor air filter, high compression engine, full pressure lubrication, and an oil filter, features absent from most autos at the time.[14][15] Among the innovations in its early years were the first practical mass-produced four-wheel hydraulic brakes, a system nearly completely engineered by Chrysler with patents assigned to Lockheed, and rubber engine mounts to reduce vibration. Chrysler also developed a wheel with a ridged rim, designed to keep a deflated tire from flying off the wheel. This wheel was eventually adopted by the auto industry worldwide.
Following the introduction of the Chrysler, the Maxwell brand was dropped after the 1925 model year. The new, lower-priced four-cylinder Chryslers introduced for the 1926 year were badge-engineered Maxwells.[16] The advanced engineering and testing that went into Chrysler Corporation cars helped to push the company to the second-place position in U.S. sales by 1936, a position it would last hold in 1949.
In 1928, the Chrysler Corporation began dividing its vehicle offerings by price class and function. The Plymouth brand was introduced at the low-priced end of the market (created essentially by once again reworking and rebadging Chrysler's four-cylinder model).[17] At the same time, the DeSoto brand was introduced in the medium-price field. Also in 1928, Chrysler bought the Dodge Brothers[18] automobile and truck company and continued the successful Dodge line of automobiles and Fargo range of trucks. By the mid-1930s, the DeSoto and Dodge divisions would trade places in the corporate hierarchy.
The Imperial name had been used since 1926, but was never a separate make, just the top-of-the-line Chrysler. In 1955, the company decided to spin it off as its own make and division to better compete with its rivals, Lincoln and Cadillac.
On April 28, 1955, Chrysler and Philco had announced the development and production of the World's First All-Transistor car radio.[19] The all-transistor car radio Mopar model 914HR, was developed and produced by Chrysler and Philco, and was an $150.00 "option" on the 1956 Imperial car models. Philco was the company, who had manufactured the all-transistor car radio Mopar model 914HR, starting in the fall of 1955 at its Sandusky Ohio plant, for the Chrysler corporation.[20][21][22]
On September 28, 1957, Chrysler had announced the first production electronic fuel injection (EFI), as an option on some of its new 1958 car models (Chrysler 300D, Dodge D500, DeSoto Adventurer, Plymouth Fury). The first attempt to use this system was by American Motors on the 1957 Rambler Rebel.[23][24] Bendix Corporation's Electrojector used a transistor computer brain modulator box, but teething problems on pre-production cars meant very few cars were made.[25] The EFI system in the Rambler ran fine in warm weather, but suffered hard starting in cooler temperatures and AMC decided not to use this EFI system, on its 1957 Rambler Rebel production cars that were sold to the public.[24] Chrysler also used the Bendix "Electrojector" fuel injection system and only around 35 vehicles were built with this option, on its 1958 production built car models.[26][27]
Imperial would see new body styles introduced every two to three years, all with V8 engines and automatic transmissions, as well as technologies that would filter down to Chrysler corporation's other models. Imperial was folded back into the Chrysler brand in 1973.
The Valiant was also introduced for 1960 as a distinct brand. In the U.S. market, Valiant was made a model in the Plymouth line for 1961 and the DeSoto make was discontinued during 1961. With those exceptions per applicable year and market, Chrysler's range from lowest to highest price from the 1940s through the 1970s was Valiant, Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto, Chrysler, and Imperial.[28]
Chrysler acquired the Jeep brand as part of the purchase of American Motors (AMC) on August 5, 1987, for somewhere between US$1.7 billion and $2 billion, depending on how costs were counted.[29] Chrysler then established the Jeep/Eagle division, along with the Eagle brand that was discontinued a decade later as part of the DaimlerChrysler merger at that time. In 1998, Chrysler and its subsidiaries entered into a partnership dubbed a "merger of equals" with German-based Daimler-Benz AG, creating the combined entity DaimlerChrysler AG.[30] To the surprise of many stockholders, Daimler subsequently acquired Chrysler in a stock swap,[31] before the retirement of Chrysler CEO Bob Eaton. His lack of planning for Chrysler in the 1990s, to become their own global automotive company, is widely accepted as the reason why the merger was needed. Under DaimlerChrysler, the company was named DaimlerChrysler Motors Company LLC, with its U.S. operations generally called "DCX". In 2001, the Plymouth brand was also discontinued.
On May 14, 2007, DaimlerChrysler announced the sale of 80.1% of Chrysler Group to American private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., thereafter known as Chrysler LLC, although Daimler (renamed as Daimler AG) continued to hold a 19.9% stake.[32] The economic collapse of 2007 - 2009 pushed an already fragile company to the brink. On April 30, 2009, On April 30, the automaker filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to be able to operate as a going concern, while renegotiating its debt structure and other obligations.[33] The U.S. government described the company's action as a "prepackaged surgical bankruptcy."[33]
The sale of substantially all of Chrysler's assets to "New Chrysler", organized as Chrysler Group LLC was completed on June 10, 2009. The federal government provided support for the deal with US$8 billion in financing at near 21%. Under Sergio Marchionne, "World Class Manufacturing" or WCM, a system of complete and thorough manufacturing quality, was introduced and several products re-launched with quality and luxury. The 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee very soon became the most awarded SUV - Ever. The Ram, Jeep, Dodge, SRT and Chrysler divisions were separated to focus on their own identity and brand. 11 major refreshes occurred in 21 months. The Cruiser, Nitro, Patriot and Avenger (created during DCX) were dropped. The Italian and American headquarters seemed to work well together. Where every change with the German company failed, these massive changes with the Italians worked. On May 24, 2011, Chrysler repaid its $7.6 billion loans to the United States and Canadian governments.[34][35] Being a full 5 years early, this is the only "bailout" that earned the US Taxpayer a profit. On July 21, 2011, Fiat bought the Chrysler shares held by the United States Treasury.[36] With the purchase, Chrysler once again became foreign owned; however, this time Chrysler was the luxury division. The Chrysler 300 was badged Lancia, and with its leather appointments, AWD 8 speed, std 8.4 " touch screen controls all being standard features, Lancia instantly became Fiat's high end vehicle, fitting in just below its Maseratti and Ferrari. The Dodge Caravan was absorbed into Chrysler to become the performance portion of the coveted minivan line up, while Chrysler focused again on quality and luxury with their Town and Country.
On January 1, 2014, Fiat announced it would be acquiring the remaining shares of Chrysler owned by the VEBA worth $3.65 billion.[37] The deal was completed on January 21, 2014.[4] Several days later, the intended reorganization of Fiat and Chrysler under a new holding company, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, together with a new FCA logo were announced.[38] The most challenging launch for this new company came immediately in January 2014 with a completely redesigned Chrysler 200. The vehicle's creation is from the completely integrated company, FCA, executing from a global compact-wide platform. The design instills luxury, elegance, full leather, with a 9 speed boasting 34 mpg, signaling that Chrysler is again successful in rebuilding cars that will not only compete in the tough mid-size market, but take significant market share from Accord, Fusion and Camry.[39]

Sales and marketing[edit]
Domestic sales[edit]
It is reported that Chrysler was heavy on fleet sales in 2010, hitting as high as 56 percent of total sales in February of that year. For the whole year, 38 percent of sales of Chrysler were to fleet customers. The industry average was 19 percent. However, the company hopes to reduce its fleet sales to the industry average in 2011 with a renewed product lineup.[43]
Global sales[edit]
Chrysler is the smallest of the "Big Three" U.S. automakers (Chrysler Group LLC, Ford Motor Company, and General Motors). Chrysler is the world's 13th largest vehicle manufacturer as ranked by OICA in 2010.[44] Total Chrysler vehicle production was about 1.58 million that year. Yanase Co., Ltd. is currently the exclusive retailer of all imported Chrysler products (Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge) to Japanese consumers.
Lifetime powertrain warranty[edit]
In 2007, Chrysler began to offer vehicle lifetime powertrain warranty for the first registered owner or retail lessee.[45] The deal covered owner or lessee in U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, for 2009 model year vehicles, and 2006, 2007 and 2008 model year vehicles purchased on or after July 26, 2007. Covered vehicles excluded SRT models, Diesel vehicles, Sprinter models, Ram Chassis Cab, Hybrid System components (including transmission), and certain fleet vehicles. The warranty is non-transferable.[46] After Chrysler's restructuring, the warranty program was replaced by five-year/100,000 mile transferrable warranty for 2010 or later vehicles.[47]
"Let's Refuel America"[edit]
In 2008, as a response to customer feedback citing the prospect of rising gas prices as a top concern, Chrysler launched the "Let's Refuel America" incentive campaign, which guaranteed new-car buyers a gasoline price of $2.99 for three years.[48] With the U.S. purchase of eligible Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles, customers could enroll in the program and receive a gas card that immediately lowers their gas price to $2.99 a gallon, and keeps it there for the three years.
Lancia co-branding[edit]
Chrysler plans for Lancia to codevelop products, with some vehicles being shared. Olivier Francois, Lancia's CEO, was appointed to the Chrysler division in October 2009. Francois plans to reestablish the Chrysler brand as an upscale brand.[49]
Ram trucks[edit]
From Oct 2009, Dodge's car and truck line were split into two, "Dodge" for cars, minivans and crossovers and "Ram" for light and medium duty trucks and other commercial-use vehicles.[50]

"Imported From Detroit"[edit]
In 2011, Chrysler unveiled their new "Imported From Detroit" campaign with ads featuring Detroit rapper Eminem, one of which aired during the Super Bowl. The campaign highlights the rejuvenation of the entire product lineup, which includes the new, redesigned and repackaged 2011 200 sedan and 200 convertible, the Chrysler 300 sedan and the Chrysler Town & Country minivan.[62][63] As part of the campaign, Chrysler sold a line of clothing items featuring the Monument to Joe Louis, with proceeds being funneled to Detroit-area charities, including the Boys and Girls Clubs of Southeast Michigan, Habitat for Humanity Detroit and the Marshall Mathers Foundation.[64] Following the Eminem ad, there was also an ad for Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh driving a Chrysler 300 to Portland, Or., to visit his mother, an ad featuring Detroit-born fashion designer John Varvatos cruising through a shadowy Gotham while Kevin Yon's familiar baritone traces the designer's genesis.[65]
In March 2011, Chrysler Group LLC filed a lawsuit against Moda Group LLC (owner of Pure Detroit clothing retailer) for copying and selling merchandise with the "Imported from Detroit" slogan.[66] Chrysler claimed it had notified defendant of its pending trademark application February 14, but the defendant argued Chrysler had not secured a trademark for the "Imported From Detroit" phrase. On June 18, 2011, U.S. District Judge Arthur Tarnow ruled that Chrysler's request didn't show that it would suffer irreparable harm or that it had a strong likelihood of winning its case. Therefore Pure Detroit's owner, Detroit retailer Moda Group LLC, can continue selling its "Imported from Detroit" products. Tarnow also noted that Chrysler doesn't have a trademark on "Imported from Detroit" and rejected the automaker's argument that trademark law isn't applicable to the case.[67][68] In March 2012, Chrysler Group LLC and Pure Detroit agreed to a March 27 mediation to try to settle the lawsuit over the clothing company's use of "Imported from Detroit" slogan.[69] Pure Detroit stated that Chrysler has made false claims about the origins of three vehicles - Chrysler 200, Chrysler 300 and Chrysler Town & Country - none of which are built in Detroit. Pure Detroit also said that Chrysler's Imported From Detroit merchandise is not being made in Detroit.
Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly which makes the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango is the only car manufacturing plant of any company remaining entirely in Detroit (General Motors operates a plant which is partly in Detroit and partly in Hamtramck).[70]
In 2011, Eminem settled a lawsuit against Audi alleging the defendant had ripped off the Chrysler 300 Super Bowl commercial in the Audi A6 Avant ad.[71]
"Half Time in America"[edit]
Again in 2012, Chrysler advertised during the Super Bowl. Its two-minute February 5, 2012 Super Bowl XLVI advertisement was titled "Half Time in America". The ad drew criticism from several leading U.S. conservatives, who suggested that its messaging implied that President Obama deserved a second term and, as such, was political payback for Obama's support for the federal bailout of the company.[72] Asked about the criticism in a 60 Minutes interview with Steve Kroft, Sergio Marchionne responded "just to rectify the record I paid back the loans at 19.7% Interest. I don't think I committed to do to a commercial on top of that" and characterized the Republican reaction as "unnecessary and out of place".[73]

Fiat Auto plans to sell seven of its vehicles in the U.S. by 2014, while Fiat-controlled Chrysler Group is to supply nine models to sell under Fiat brands in the European market, according to a five-year plan rolled out on April 21, 2010 in Turin, Italy, by Fiat and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne. At least five of the Fiat Auto models are expected to be marketed in the U.S. under its Alfa Romeo brand. Showing the level of integration envisioned, a product introduction timeline shows Chrysler-built compact and full-size SUVs going on sale in 2012 and 2014, respectively, in both European and North American markets.[74]
Chrysler Uconnect[edit]
First introduced as MyGig, Chrysler Uconnect is a system that brings interactive ability to the in-car radio and telemetric-like controls to car settings.[75] Internet connectivity using any Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram vehicle, via a Wi-Fi "hot-spot", is also available via Uconnect Web. According to Chrysler LLC, the hotspot range will extend approximately 100 feet (30 m) from the vehicle in all directions, and will combine both Wi-Fi and Sprint's 3G cellular connectivity. Uconnect is available on several current and was available on several discontinued Chrysler models including the current Dodge Dart, Chrysler 300, Aspen, Sebring, Town and Country, Dodge Avenger, Caliber, Grand Caravan, Challenger, Charger, Journey, Nitro, and Ram.[76]
Electric and hybrid vehicles[edit]
The first electric vehicle produced by Chrysler was the 1992 Dodge EPIC concept minivan. In 1993, Chrysler began to sell a limited-production electric minivan called the TEVan; however only 56 were produced. In 1997, a second generation, called the EPIC, was released. It was discontinued after 1999.
Chrysler owned the Global Electric Motorcars company, building low-speed neighborhood electric vehicles, but sold GEM to Polaris Industries in 2011.
Chrysler intended to pursue new drive concepts through ENVI, an in-house organization formed to focus on electric-drive vehicles and related technologies which was established in September 2007. In August 2009, Chrysler took US$70 million in grants from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop a test fleet of 220 hybrid pickup trucks and minivans. ENVI was disbanded by November 2009.[77]
The first hybrids models, the Chrysler Aspen hybrid and Dodge Durango hybrid, were discontinued a few months after production in 2008,[78] sharing their GM-designed hybrid technology with GM, Daimler and BMW.[79]
Chrysler is on the Advisory Council of the PHEV Research Center, and undertook a government sponsored demonstration project with Ram and minivan vehicles.[80]
In 2012 Chrysler/Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne said that Chrysler and Fiat both plan to focus primarily on alternative fuels, such as CNG and diesel, instead of hybrid and electric drivetrains for their consumer products.[81]
Special programs[edit]
During World War II, essentially all of Chrysler's facilities were devoted to building military vehicles (the Jeep brand came later, after Chrysler acquired American Motors Corporation).[82] They were also designing V12 and V16 hemi-engines producing 2,500 hp (1,864 kW; 2,535 PS) for airplanes, but they did not make it into production as jets were developed and were seen as the future for air travel.[83]
Radar antennas[edit]
When the Radiation Laboratory at MIT was established in 1941 to develop microwave radars, one of the first projects resulted in the SCR-584, the most widely recognized radar system of the war era. This system included a parabolic antenna six feet in diameter that was mechanically aimed in a helical pattern (round and round as well as up and down).
One of Chrysler's most significant contributions to the war effort was not in the field of vehicles but in the radar field. For the final production design of this antenna and its highly complex drive mechanism, the Army's Signal Corps Laboratories turned to Chrysler's Central Engineering Office. There, the parabola was changed from aluminum to steel, allowing production forming using standard automotive presses. To keep weight down, 6,000 equally spaced holes were drilled in the face (this had no effect on the radiation pattern). The drive mechanism was completely redesigned, using technology derived from Chrysler's research in automotive gears and differentials. The changes resulted in improved performance, reduced weight, and easier maintenance. A large portion of the Dodge plant was used in building 1,500 of the SCR-584 antennas as well as the vans used in the systems.[84][85]
In April 1950, the U.S. Army established the Ordnance Guided Missile Center (OGMC) at Redstone Arsenal, adjacent to Huntsville, Alabama. To form OGMC, over 1,000 civilian and military personnel were transferred from Fort Bliss, Texas. Included was a group of German scientists and engineers led by Wernher von Braun; this group had been brought to America under Project Paperclip. OGMC designed the Army's first short-range ballistic missile, the PGM-11 Redstone, based on the WWII German V-2 missile. Chrysler established the Missile Division to serve as the Redstone prime contractor, setting up an engineering operation in Huntsville and for production obtaining use from the U.S. Navy of a large plant in Warren, Michigan. The Redstone was in active service from 1958 to 1964; it was also the first missile to test-launch a live nuclear weapon, first detonated in a 1958 test in the South Pacific.[86]
Working together, the Missile Division and von Braun's team greatly increased the capability of the Redstone, resulting in the PGM-19 Jupiter, a medium-range ballistic missile. In May 1959, a Jupiter missile launched two small monkeys into space in a nose cone; this was America's first successful flight and recovery of live space payloads. Responsibility for deploying Jupiter missiles was transferred from the Army to the Air Force; armed with nuclear warheads, they were first deployed in Italy and Turkey during the early 1960s.[87]
Space boosters[edit]
In July 1959, NASA chose the Redstone missile as the basis for the Mercury-Redstone Launch Vehicle to be used for suborbital test flights of the Project Mercury spacecraft. Three unmanned MRLV launch attempts were made between November 1960 and March 1961, two of which were successful. The MRLV successfully launched the chimpanzee Ham, and astronauts Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom on three suborbital flights in January, May and July 1961, respectively.
America's more ambitious manned space travel plans included the design of the Saturn series of heavy-lift launch vehicles by a team headed by Wernher von Braun. Chrysler's Huntsville operation, then designated the Space Division, became Marshall Space Flight Center's prime contractor for the first stage of the Saturn I and Saturn IB versions. The design was based on a cluster of Redstone and Jupiter fuel tanks, and Chrysler built it for the Apollo program in the Michoud Assembly Facility in East New Orleans, one of the largest manufacturing plants in the world. Between October 1961 and July 1975, NASA used ten Saturn Is and nine Saturn IBs for suborbital and orbital flights, all of which were successful;[88] Chrysler missiles and boosters never suffered a launch failure.[citation needed] The division was also a subcontractor which modified one of the Mobile Launcher Platforms for use with the Saturn IB rockets using Saturn V infrastructure.

I made this loose fitting mini dress from some awesome brown striped knit fabric that I bought. I wanted a simple jersey mini dress that I could dress up or down. Originally I tried long sleeves but I like the 3/4 length better. I love the big scoop neck. You could wear a lacy cami and have the lace peep out from the top. You could also wear it with or without a belt.
Let me know if you make your own version with the pattern. I really appreciate feedback!
Mar 6, 2012, 08.53 AMby Luiza Grooks
I just bought a new overlocker and I think this pattern is the right one to try my very first jersey project.
Mar 14, 2011, 01.45 PMby Holy Button Glory
I love the simplicity of the accessories! Surprising how they work so well together… I really like the length of the sleeves two! good job! :)
Mar 14, 2011, 07.25 AMby amyadoyzie
I think that this pattern looks perfect for my wardrobe, but even though I'm an intermediate-ish sewer… I must admit that I'm deathly afraid to sew with knits!!! I just worry that I'll "stretch out" the knit at the seams so that the cut of the dress ends up being warped! But I'm willing to try it out with this pattern. Any pointers?
Mar 7, 2011, 07.12 AMby shanshanli
Very 100 take, thanks
Mar 2, 2011, 02.01 PMby palindroom
Ive already made this twice! Im a real beginner so I mess up a lot and I'm not that neat, and I have some problems getting what to do with the collar, I improvised but I think I did it wrong.
In short, I love this pattern!
Mar 2, 2011, 07.12 PMby dixiediy
wow, thanks. I hope this is a good pattern to learn on. maybe I can help with the collar if you let me know what problems you're having.
thanks again!
Feb 27, 2011, 03.23 AMby bluewear
I love it! It seems so comfortable and pretty. Thanks~!!
Feb 18, 2011, 04.08 PMby PeaceLoveTrees
I'm so glad you posted this! This is exactly what I have been looking for. I can't wait to get started.
Feb 18, 2011, 02.30 PMby elisana
so cute and versatile! thanks for uploading the pattern!!!!
Feb 18, 2011, 09.39 AMby marylisa
It looks great, thank you for sharing!!! I will give it a try!!!!
Feb 18, 2011, 04.10 AMby nehmah
thanks for your mini-t pattern. I wear what used to be called dorm shirts, around the house. Being short and having a drooping belly, the regular lengths don't cover me. This will give me a point from which to star when re-drafting your pattern. Cordially, Nehmah One question, about how tall are you? I am a miserable 5ft, 3 inches (I've lost another 1.5 inches!) I was 5ft, 6in ten years ago. Grrr!
Feb 18, 2011, 03.52 PMby dixiediy
I'm 5' 6" and as you can see the dress as it is hits about mid thigh but you can easily alter the pattern to be longer or shorter. Good luck!
Feb 18, 2011, 12.03 AMby emilywirt
I love your choice of fabric! This is really cute. Thanks for the pattern, too!
Feb 17, 2011, 10.48 PMby smashlyn
Sooo fun! I can't wait to make this in a ton of different prints! Thanks :)

Chevron Director Kirkland Calls Enormous Gorgon Project Environmental Despite Certain Harm to 1,000 Nesting Sea TurtlesHouston, TX Environmental and human rights advocates entitled to enter the Chevron shareholder meeting in Houston today were refused entry and five people arrested for non-violent civil disobedience.
Outside the former Enron building at 1500 Louisiana St. where Chevron is now located, sea turtle activists joined people from around the world on the sidewalk to protest the oil companys harm to people, sea turtles and the environment from its operations around the globe.Stop building dirty energy on the backs of sea turtles! called Teri Shore, Program Director for Turtle Island Restoration Network from behind the police barricades. Shore was one of several protesters who donned turtle costumes to oppose Chevron projects in sea turtle habitat. She is also an author and co-sponsor of the Chevron Alternative Annual Report. Here in the Gulf of Mexico, endangered sea turtles are facing a major oil slick while across the globe Chevron is putting an end to an entire sea turtle population. Oil and sea turtle dont mix. Inside the meeting, Director George Kirkland heralded Chevrons massive $37 billion Gorgon natural gas plant which is being built on top of a flatback sea turtle nesting beach in Western Australia, calling it enormous and a model of environmental stewardship. The project will harm or kill 1,000 or more nesting sea turtles and surrounding marine habitat and was opposed by environmental authorities. Chevron is also building several other natural gas plants in the region that the sea turtle community is convinced will harm or destroy little-known populations of flatbacks, greens, hawksbills and loggerheads.Of the 37 delegates from human rights and environmental community with validly executed proxy statements, only seven were allowed to enter the meeting, contradicting Chevron's own policies and in potential violations of corporate governance laws.Of the five arrested, one was Antonia Juhasz, Lead Author of "The True Cost of Chevron: An Alternative Annual Report". Juhasz was dragged from the meeting as shareholders and their proxies chanted, "Chevron Lies, People Die" and CEO John Watson abruptly ended the meeting. Others arrested included Reverend Ken Davis, a member Community for a Better Environment, from Richmond, California, Juan Parras of Houston-based Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Solutions (TEJAS), and Mitchell Anderson and Han Shan of Amazon Watch; all arrested after being denied entrance. AmazonWatch works with Ecuadorian leaders like Guillermo Grefa, who was also denied entrance. Before his arrest, Reverend Davis stated "I represent an area where there is no beauty shop, groceries, or cleaners. Our industry is Chevron. My people breathe their contamination every day and are constantly sick. Our health is not for sale." Josh Coates from the Wilderness Society of Australia was denied admission into the meeting had a message for CEO Watson: "Today I've been denied the opportunity to give a clear message to Chevron and the shareholders that the proposed liquid natural gas processing facility in the Kimberley region of northwest Australia comes with unacceptable environmental costs. The Kimberley region in the west of Australia is a last refuge for many species in the region, including humpback whales and the endangered Australian flatback turtle. Chevron is pushing an off-shore processing facility in the home of the humpback, while other options exist." The True Cost of Chevron Network will continue its effective alliance to expose and challenge the oil giant. For more information on the Network, visit www.truecostofchevron.com

Honeybee Gardens Eye Liner Belgian Chocolate -- 0.04 oz
Great basic liner
I'm switching to green makeup, but I'm way too cheap to drop more than ten bucks on an eyeliner pencil. I just want something non-toxic near my eyes! Love this pencil for the price and the effect. It goes on easily and doesn't smudge toooo much during the day. Additionally, this is a great brown; there isn't too much red to it, so it won't make you look like you have pink eye as it slowly wears away (yes, I've had a brown eyeliner that did that...awful).
It doesn't last all day, but it's an eyeliner pencil, that's to be expected. This is my go-to eyeliner.
May 11, 2013
Not the best
Yes it is healthy for you but it always would rub off to my under eye area which I dont like.
May 9, 2013
Wonderfully surprised!
I really like this. I was not sure if I would, having been a faithful user of liquid eyeliners for years. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this goes on smoothly and lasts all day long. Nice colour too. I will definitely buy again!
March 22, 2013
Soft enough
I wanted something softer for my under eye than my liquid liner but most pencils I have tried are too hard. This one is soft enough to work on my old, stretchy skin and the color is just right. I'm pleased with the product.
March 21, 2013
Great color!
I just hot this today but the color is great and it smooths on nicely!

CD/LP/Track Review
Cecil Taylor Quartet: Incarnation (2004)
The quartet commences the set with a feeling-out process, greasing the pot prior to an onslaught of intertwining call-and-response choruses. And as many of us would surmise, Taylor and his quartet go climactically fast and furious for the jugular. The pianist peppers and accentuates his bandmates' rumbling and tumbling sense of forward motion. Then again, Douglas' wah-wah guitar choruses cast a bizarre edge to Taylor's avant-garde canon.
On "Carnation, cellist Tristan Honsiger's oscillating arco passages establish the framework for the musicians' capacious dialogues of expansion and contraction. At times Taylor tempers the hard-hitting flow with sublime chord clusters, periodically toggling matters down to a near-whisper. Overall, this recording is one his more compelling dates in recent years. It's partly about frenetic group interaction, shaded with Douglas' occasional implementations of mainstream R&B. Recommended.
Track Listing: Focus; Carnation; Cartouche.
Personnel: Cecil Taylor: piano, voice; Franky Douglas: guitar, voice; Tristan Honsinger: cello. Special Guest: Andrew Cyrille: drums, tympani.
Record Label: FMP Records
Style: Modern Jazz

Are kids getting dumber thanks to TV and video games?
As someone who had hoped that Tivo and the internet were going to raise my child, I have to say that I am disappointed by this SF Gate article that says kids today are dumber than ever and may in fact be getting dumber as we go on.
As for the rest, well, the dystopian evidence seems overwhelming indeed, to the point where it might be no stretch at all to say the biggest threat facing America is perhaps not global warming, not perpetual warmongering, not garbage food or low-level radiation or way too much Lindsay Lohan, but a populace … Read more

Choose fish that have firm, shiny flesh, and make sure all the bones have been removed before processing it and serving to baby.
Oxmoor House AUGUST 2010
1. Place potato in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 15 minutes or until tender; drain, reserving cooking liquid. Let potato cool slightly.
2. While potato cooks, place fish in a microwave-safe dish; add 3 tablespoons water to dish. Cover with heavy-duty plastic wrap; vent. Microwave at HIGH 3 to 4 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Let fish cool slightly; flake with a fork, and remove and discard bones, if needed.
3. Place fish, potato, and 3 tablespoons reserved cooking liquid in a food processor. Process until desired consistency, adding additional cooking liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed. Stir in Green Peas and Carrots purees.
Nutrition Note: Fish and Mercury Fish is a great source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin B12. Even though fish contains many nutrients, some are high in mercury and should be avoided. According to the Food and Drug Administration, fish is a safe option for children if you follow these guidelines: Avoid shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish. Choose fish lowest in mercury like catfish, cod, flounder, haddock, perch, pollock, salmon, scallops, shrimp, sole, tilapia, trout, canned light tuna, and whitefish. Limit servings to two to three times per week.
