The Ford Country Squire is a full-size station wagon which was built by the Ford Motor Company in the United States from 1950 until 1991, encompassing seven model generations. It was the premium station wagon model in Ford's full-size car range throughout this period. The Country Squire was initially built as a full "woodie". After the mid-1950s the rear body was composed of fiberglass covered by a vinyl appliqué printed to simulate wood. Later versions featured an all-steel body and are best remembered for featuring body sides and a tailgate covered by simulated wood trim and panels, however the Country Squire could be purchased without them. Prior to 1974, full-size Ford station wagon models without simulated wood trim were marketed as the Ranch Wagon, Del Rio, Parklane and Country Sedan. Subsequently, all full-size Ford wagons were marketed under the Ford LTD name, including the LTD Country Squire.
The Country Squire was based on the Custom Deluxe series in 1950 & 1951, the Crestline from 1952 to 1954, the Fairlane from 1955 to 1958, the Galaxie from 1959 to 1966, and the LTD/LTD Crown Victoria from 1967 to 1991. Due to declining sales, Ford elected to exit the full-size station wagon market after 1991.
The Mercury Colony Park was the equivalent model sold by Ford's Mercury division from 1957 to 1991.

The 1950 Ford model range included a station wagon which, at the time of its introduction, was marketed as part of the top-line Custom Deluxe trim.[1] In the following spring, Ford began promoting the wagon as the Country Squire, although that name did not appear anywhere on the car. Along with the name change came the addition of a fold-down middle-row seat.[1] Following the rest of the Ford lineup, the Country Squire was available with a standard 226 cid inline six-cylinder engine as or an optional V-8.[1]
The first generation Country Squire was a full "woodie". The frame, fenders and hood were made of steel and the rear of the car's body was made of wood.

In 1952, Ford expanded station wagons into a lineup separate from its newly redesigned sedans. The Country Squire was the top model, now available solely in a four-door configuration; it was the wagon counterpart of the Crestline series. Joining the Squire were the four-door Country Sedan (Customline) and the two-door Ranch Wagon (Mainline). The 239 Strato-Star V-8 was the only engine offered in the 1952 Country Squire.[2]
Unlike its predecessor, the 1952 Country Squire no longer was a true woodie; like the Country Sedan, it wore a full steel body. The woodgrain finish was now constructed by woodgrain transfers edged in real wood trim on the sides and tailgate.[2]

For the 1955 model year, Ford station wagons became a separate model range from the sedans, coupes, and convertibles. The woodgrained Country Squire was the top-of-the-line model, trimmed similar to the Fairlane. For the first time, all wood trim was simulated with vinyl decals.
In 1957, the chassis of all full-size Fords underwent a major redesign with an all-new frame to allow for lower bodies. While not shared with Mercury, much of the Country Squire wagon body would be used for the Edsel Villager and Bermuda station wagons.

Prior to 1961, all Ford wagons used a two-piece tailgate assembly that required the operator to lift the rear window up and locking it into place via a mechanical support, and then drop the tail gate down to fully access the rear compartment.
For the 1961 Ford adopted a tailgate assembly that used a self-storing window feature which could either be rolled down into the gate via crank on the outside of the gate, or by an electrical motor actuated by the key or an interior switch. A safety lockout measure required that the rear window had to be fully retracted into the tailgate before the tailgate could be lowered

In 1966, all Ford wagons introduced the Magic Door Gate, engineered by Donald N. Frey,[3] which allowed the tailgate to flip down like a traditional tailgate or to open to the side as a swinging door. The Magic Door Gate was made possible through use of a traditional stationary hinge on the right, and combination of hinges along the door's left side which carried the weight of the gate as it swung outward when used as a door.
For 1968, the Country Squire wore "LTD" lettering above the grille but was still marketed as the "Ford Country Squire".[4]

For 1969 Ford's premium wagon was marketed as the Ford LTD Country Squire.[5] This was the first year of the sixth generation Country Squire, which rode on an exxtended 121.0 in (3,073 mm) wheelbase as compared to the previous generation and included as standard a 302 cubic inches (4.95 l) V8. In mid 1969, the 302 cubic inches (4.95 l) standard engine was phased out in favor of a new standard engine, the 351 cubic inches (5.75 l) V8. Optional engines included the 390 cubic inches (6.4 l) or the 429 cubic inches (7.03 l) V8. In 1971, Ford offered 400 cubic inches (6.6 l) V8 as an option. Country Squires from 1969 and 1970 used the same body panels and varied in terms of front grille and bumper, interior trim and other minor changes. The later two years of this generation saw an extensive revision of the exterior, having only the roof and tailgate in common with the 1969-1970 models. This generation was the first to use Ford's new "Three-Way Magic Doorgate," which could swing down as a tailgate, swing out as a door with the window down, or swing out as a door with the window up (not possible with 1966-1968 wagons).
The 1972 model year saw a drastic decrease in power ratings for all engines for three reasons. One was the new system of reporting SAE net horsepower rather than brake horsepower. The second was engine modifications resulting in drastically lower compression ratios and a new timing set that retarded ignition timing by 8 degrees. The third was the addition of more emissions controls. The big block 429 engine for example, saw a drop from 365 hp (272 kW) in 1971 to 212 hp (158 kW) in 1972. The 460, a stroked version of the 429, was now available in passenger cars. Previously it had only been offered in Ford trucks. The 1972 model was rated at 224 hp (167 kW) with an 8.5:1 compression ratio. Cylinder head design from the 1972 model year was poor and had many pre-ignition problems. The D2VE heads are considered among the worst cylinder heads ever offered with the 385 series engines. The design would be changed the following year.
Production figures:[citation needed]
For 1973, the platform used by full-size Fords and Mercurys was restyled; the addition of 5 mph bumpers in the front in 1973, and in the rear in 1974, would make these the longest station wagons ever produced by Ford. With the Galaxie soon to be discontinued, the Country Squire was integrated into the LTD lineup. Additionally, a non-woodgrain LTD wagon was also sold; the Custom 500-trim Ranch Wagon was sold only for the fleet market. The standard engine on all other full-size ford sedans and wagons was the 351 cubic inches (5.75 l) V8. The Country Squire however, came standard with the Cleveland 400 cubic inches (6.6 l)M V8, while the 385 series 429 cubic inches (7.03 l), and 460 cubic inches (7.5 l) V8s were optional. Engines were again detuned. Despite an improved cylinder head design (D3VE), the 460 V8 was further detuned to a 8.0:1 compression ratio, and was rated at a measly 219 hp (163 kW). With manual transmissions being dropped from the lineup, the C6 3-speed automatic transmission was now the only transmission option for full-size Fords. The 429 and 460 V8s were a common option due to the especially sluggish performance of the detuned 400 engine that was now struggling to drive the Squires ever increasing weight.
The 1974 Model was nearly identical to the '73, with the addition of a hood ornament, 5MPH rear bumpers, and a transistorized ignition system. The 429 cubic inches (7.03 l) V8 was dropped from production, leaving the 460 cubic inches (7.5 l) as the only true big block in the Ford lineup. In 1975, Ford added hidden headlamps to the Country Squire (bringing it in line with the Mercury Colony Park and the new Grand Marquis); non-woodgrain wagons still wore exposed headlamps. 1975 models also began to use Catalytic converters in virtually all models, reducing emissions, but at the expense of even more power. By 1975, the Country Squire had reached a shipping weight of 4,845 pounds (2,198 kg). With all engine fluids and full tank of gas, the 1975 LTD Country Squire wagon weighed in well over 5,000 pounds (2,300 kg), making it one of the largest and heaviest passenger cars every produced by Ford. It is interesting to note that Full-size Ford wagons weighed in at slightly less than their counterparts from Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Chevrolet, Dodge and Chrysler during this time, making the behemoth Country Squire actually the lightest Full-size woodgrain-trim wagon available from a major manufacturer.
1975-1978 models were nearly identical, except for small differences in trim and emblems from year to year. As a move to increase fuel economy, the 351 cubic-inch V8 was reintroduced into the lineup in 1978.
Approximately 7,850,000 full-size Fords and Mercurys were sold over 1969-78.[6][7] This makes it the second best selling Ford automobile platform after the Ford Model T.

In 1979, Ford became the last American automaker to downsize its full-size car lines; the Panther platform became the basis for all full-size Fords, Mercurys, and Lincolns. Eleven inches shorter and nearly 1000 pounds lighter, the redesigned Country Squire retained the 8-passenger seating capability with only slightly reduced cargo capacity. The big-block 400 and 460 cubic-inch V8s were not included in the redesign, leaving the Country Squire with the 302 cubic inches (4.95 l) and 351 cubic inches (5.75 l) Windsor V8 engines.
The 1980s saw relatively few changes to the Country Squire. In 1983 the carbureted engine was replaced with fuel injection unit, identifiable by the large intake with the EFI 5.0 badge on top. In 1988, coinciding with the facelift of its LTD Crown Victoria counterpart, the Country Squire received a new front clip. Inside, new front seats with larger head restraints were added. For 1990, the dashboard was updated (for the first time since 1979) with the addition of a driver's side airbag; the outboard rear seats received 3-point seatbelts.
After the mid-1980s introduction of minivans by Chrysler, Ford, and GM, sales of full-size station wagons began to decline. The primary reasons for the popularity of minivans were their superior cargo capacity and fuel economy despite taking up less garage space; by 1990, Ford's Aerostar had overtaken all competitors in sales with the exception of the Chrysler minivans. Although Ford redesigned the Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis in 1992, the station wagon bodystyle was discontinued. In addition, a 1992 full-size Ford wagon would have likely competed against the wagon version of the Ford Taurus, then on its way to becoming the best-selling car in the United States.
With certain versions of the Country Squire one could install an AM/FM-Cassette stereo with a combined and fully integrated Citizens' Band (CB) two-way radio, and replacement dual-purpose automatic antenna (with only one visible difference that the aerial mast was a larger diameter, and black-band at approximately half-way up). The radio would then have the appearance of an original equipment, factory radio.
Optional were opposing side-facing rear seats, which could be folded down to make a durable cargo surface. Available for use with the side-facing rear seats was a folding table with integrated magnetic checkers board. Magnets under the plastic checkers pieces would keep them from sliding on the board while the vehicle was in motion.
Behind a rear fender well was a hidden, lockable compartment, not visible when the rear seat back was in the upright position.
GM, Chrysler and AMC would adopt a similar configuration by the end of the 1960s. An advanced version of this was the 3-way tailgate which permitted opening the door sideways with the window up.

Imaging using quantum noise properties of light |
Optics Express, Vol. 20, Issue 15, pp. 17050-17058 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (4415 KB)
We show that it is possible to estimate the shape of an object by measuring only the fluctuations of a probing field, allowing us to expose the object to a minimal light intensity. This scheme, based on noise measurements through homodyne detection, is useful in the regime where the number of photons is low enough that direct detection with a photodiode is difficult but high enough such that photon counting is not an option. We generate a few-photon state of multi-spatial-mode vacuum-squeezed twin beams using four-wave mixing and direct one of these twin fields through a binary intensity mask whose shape is to be imaged. Exploiting either the classical fluctuations in a single beam or quantum correlations between the twin beams, we demonstrate that under some conditions quantum correlations can provide an enhancement in sensitivity when estimating the shape of the object.

The Five Dumbest Things on Wall Street This Week: April 20
4. Cuban's Patent Play
Put down those victory cigars all you Vringo (VRNG - Get Report) shareholders. Apparently, Mark Cuban's investment is less about your company's prowess than its patents.
News that the owner of the reigning NBA champion Dallas Mavericks purchased a sizable chunk of the mobile networking software provider sent its shares up over 30% on Monday to $3.97. In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday, the bellicose billionaire disclosed ownership of 1.03 million common shares, representing a 7.4% stake in Vringo.
Considering that Vringo is still trading below its June 2010 IPO price of $4.60, as well as the fact that it lost $7.5 million in 2011 with revenue totaling $718,000, you can understand why Cuban's maneuver left a lot of puzzled market-watchers wondering: What in the name of Dirk Nowitzki is that nut-job up to now? Was he interested in the company's Facetone app in the wake of last week's Facebook's mind-splattering $1 billion acquisition of photo-sharer Instagram? Was that the slam dunk that Cuban saw in Vringo's future? Nah, nothing of the sort. That would be playing offense, and while he can often be quite offensive to referees, Cuban knows full well that defense that wins championships. And that's exactly what his Vringo bid was all about: Good old-fashioned defense. "This is a hedge against the unlimited patent exposure all the companies I have investments in face. Patent risk is impossible to quantify," wrote Cuban in an e-mail to our good friends over at Forbes. "It's unrealistic for most small to medium businesses to have any clue which patents they are at risk over." You see folks, what really moved Mark's hand was Vringo's plans to merge with Innovate/Protect, an intellectual property-based company that owns the patent assets of long-since-forgotten search engine Lycos. Innovate/Protect is involved in patent litigation with a number of companies, including Google (GOOG) and AOL (AOL), alleging that they are "unlawfully using systems that incorporate features claimed in two patents owned by I/P Engine," a unit of the company. Yep, despite his long-held -- and much-blogged -- hatred for so-called patent trolls, Cuban decided that unlike the Miami Heat in last year's NBA finals, he simply could not beat them. So despite all his bluster, he joined them.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Giving Service Companies a Fast Start: SAP Business All-in-One Fast-start Program
Written By:

Have You Outgrown Your Accounting System?: Stepping Up to Cloud Computing & FinancialForce.com
FSN Publishing Limited
Written By:
No matter the size of your company, every business is challenged by organizational, technological, and economic growth. The stages of a company's maturity are fairly well defined—from start-up and small businesses to midsize businesses and multinationals. But it's not always clear when a company moves from one stage to the next, and what steps need to be taken to support that growth.
There comes a point when a company needs more than an entry-level bookkeeping system. Companies that are well established need a business system that supports the full range of its activities. It needs to reinforce how the business operates in practice rather than limiting it to the narrow confines of a conventional bookkeeping or accounting package.
This white paper describes the telltale signs that a company is ready to move on from software that covers basic accounting requirements to the next level—a progressive business system that can sustain growth for years to come. You'll learn what to expect from such a system, and how business can change for the better.

I have been working at Devereux (more than a year)
Large company - lots of opportunities - they say they will provide supervision and advancement opportunities

I worked at Devereux full-time (less than a year)
ProsFree meal each shift, 8 sick days and insurance. And the few kids lives you touched.
ConsWhy would you talk a client into using their gift card to buy their needs to buy 2 staff subway meals? Mistreatment, non therapeutic, this is not a jail go back to work in one. Staff is stressed due to supervisors actions, left alone with clients that get dangerous. Assistance taking way too long. Favoritism among staff and to clients, staff talking down to staff in front of clients. I thought this was TREATMENT, the school way out of control the kids are in charge. Clients getting mixed signals from staff who even make jokes with them, give them treats after they just hurt and hit another staff person! Be ready to be tired, ask to work doubles all the time, cannot enjoy your day off due to stress. NO HOLIDAY PAY and you have to work all the holiday's if full time. Those who cared for the kids look out I did and my few who reached back for me I feel made a connection, but some coworkers want you to act like a warden instead. A few clients do not belong here. Some clients have it out for you will make written grievances against you just to get you fired to get even and at times it works. I left to help other kids who really wanted help and a staff who supports staff.
Advice to ManagementAdviceCheck your hiring practices are they balanced? Are they rational fair? Better keep better eye on your DSP2. coworkers told me clients are being beat up. Make better work week, 6 days in row too much with this line of work over time and double cause burn out. Many working there is for the money not the kids. but your upper management its all about their paper work

I worked at Devereux full-time (more than a year)
ProsPay is OK. Hours can be flexible. Many of the staff that work directly with the children are very nice and caring.
ConsYou are paid for a 40 hour work week, but it will take you at least 60 hours to complete the work and manage your case load.
The company will use you up and spit you out when activities within the company are questioned and the clients are advocated for.
My direct supervisor was very manipulative, self serving, and had favorites. Management will take care of themselves and let other staff struggle.
There is not enough training and supervision of the direct staff to ensure they are providing the type of care for children with emotional issues and trauma. Staff will do things that they know will set a child off so they can give a child consequences.
No raises when I worked there (over 2 years).
Many of the issues that I had with the company were due to my supervisor. This individual still works at the company. This individual requested clinicians to implement consequences to clients that would would be detrimental to the clients progress and ability to bond with family. When things occurred within the company that were due to this supervisors directions or lack of directions, this supervisor was quick to shift the blame onto others and have individuals pushed out (several people, not one).Advice to ManagementAdviceGive your direct care staff more trauma training and monitor them to make sure they are following through. Monitor clinician supervisors.
Doesn't RecommendNo opinion of CEO -

Great news - Thank you, will get out the GIANT pruners, my white broom The Bride were stunning again this year, but I really don't want 10million babies!!
When is the best time to prune broom and how hard do I prune it. Seed heads forming now and bushes a good 2 metres wide (1 metre high) and only 2yrs old. Did not touch them last year but now they are taking over despite being stunning when in flower.
I have just bought 2 insect eating plants to munch up the flies in the kitchen. They are thriving, and no flies around at last. But - one is too big for its pot. What sort of soil do I use to transplant it. I thought aquatic soil because the plants rest in water all the time, but not sure. All advice welcome.
Lunar Calender 10th - 17th June 2014
10/11th June Flower Days Thin sowing of cauliflowers and broccoli.
12/13th June Leaf Days Blanche Chicory Thin lettuces and mixed salad seedlings. Prick out Brussel Sprouts and Autumn Cabbages
14th June Fruit Day After 11.59am (OK Midday!) Sow French and Runner Beans and pop in some Nasturtioms at the end of the rows to attract blackfly. Sow 4/5 grains of sweetcorn in pockets at 1ft intervals.
15th June No gardening before 9.30am otherwise as per 14th.
16/17th June Root Days Sow Chicory and more carrots.
Anyone compared methods yet between traditional and Moon gardening?
Happy Gardening.
Lunar Calender 29 May-9th June (Away at Les Andeleys Spring Fair this w/e Superb Chateau on borders of the Seine. Look it up on the internet - Superb!
29/30th May Sow carrots and Winter Radish in alternate rows. the radish will be sweeter mixed with the carrots.
31st Take cuttings from Deutzia/potentilla and other spring shrubs.
1st June Flower Day Plant out petunias sown 1st March Divide Narcissi/tulips
2nd June Thin out leeks. Plant celery and Fennel. 3rd June same as 2nd but do not garden before 10.25am
4/5/6 June Root Days After the natural early fruit fall thin out apples and pears to encourage strongest fruit to grow on. Trim away leaves from tomatoes/cucumbers and courgettes to encourage fruit to form and to allow light to get in.
7/8/9 June Lift leeks sown 3/5th April trim tops and root and replant in alternate rows with carrots (Makes them stronger (the leeks) apparently. Thin out all root seedlings. Plant out Celeriac sown 6/9th March Thin out Parsnips sown 1/3rd May on 9th June do not garden before 11.40am.
Happy Gardening
Great to have some feedback! I too was very sceptic initially, particularly as I had a hippy mother who was keen on all sorts of crazy things - So I sort of tried to ignore it during the teenage strop faze. I only came back round here in Normandy when I visited friends and neighbours plots. The lunar following is colossal here, with quite alot of scientific backup. Hey Ho - Bean & Mange touts sowing today having been good and done no sowing yesterday despite temptation. Weeded/pruned /trimmed hedges and walked around plot instead.
I have never tried them so will let you know. I have just planted them out and shall await results. Nobody seems very posiive to date - but I like a challenge.
At last I seem to have got on top of my own Calender!! All very well for me to type what we should all be doing, but quite another thing to get it done! Farmer's Markets start at 6am and shortly we shall have evening one's as well! That leaves me (like many of you I realise) with lunch hours (Well we do get 2hrs in France!) and Mondays which we take as our Sunday. So - All plants doing well, and yes I did get the broccoli planted out according to Calender and am staggered that flower seedlings that T & M said would take 10 days to a fortnight are up within the week!
So here is the Lunar Calender for 20th-27th May as I am away at Farmer's Market in Calvados next w/e.
20th May Root Day Keep cucumber frames open even at night now and sow beetroot and chicory outside now. Sow Winter leeks in frames.
21/22 May Flower Days In nursery beds sow cauliflower and broccoli . Sow annuals where they are to flower like alyssum/poppies/godetias.
23/24 May The moon is now in the constellation of Pisces and this is the time to sow all types of lettuce inc, batavia/rocket and mesclun. Sow cardoons where they are to crop and sow brussel sprouts and winter cabbage in a nursery bed.
25th May Same as yesterday but no gardening after 1.55pm as the moon is starting to descend from maximum height and will prove ineffective in its powers when it is on the turn (noeud)
26th May Fruit Day Renew sowings of courgettes/cucumbers and gherkins.
Now I'm off to transplant 32 tomatoes (They all came up!!! and I hate waste)
Do let me know how you are all getting on.
Thanks Verdun for sound advice, certainly can't say we haven't had any rain!! One thing that I have learnt out here is that the red vine peaches never get peach leaf curl. I was given one by a neighbour and it has moved house twice. Absolutely superb with no problems, a happy little tree and happily well away from the other one. These deep wine red peaches ripen much later than others and end up nice and sweet, they are primarily used out here to make jam. I think that you can get them in the UK now.
Totally demoralised - I have tried all the natural and chemical plus alternative treatments known to man, and I've still got peach leaf curl this year! However I have many peaches that seem to have set successfully. Should I just keep my fingers crossed or should I spray the tree with yet another product? Actually I am beginning to think that perhaps I should not do anything at all next year as if you think about it, in the wild peaches thrive with no leaf curl and plenty of fruit. Any brain waves??

Ah, if I had one fashion show I would love, love, love to go to it is the Chanel Fashion show in Paris! OK, in New York too!
To me it is the creme de la creme of catwalks to see! Milla Jovovich was spotted today amongst other A-listers dressed in a true Chanel look!

Dance Club Pick: Tigerheat's Britney Night at the Palladium
Club Tigerheat lives up to its name every week in more ways than one, packing in young pop-music lovers (mostly gay, some straight) for a feral evening of hookup hunting and floor humping amidst sweat, flashy lights and glossy videos. For next week's celebration of its most beloved pop princess, it's trying out new quarters: the Palladium. Marking the club's single-release party for Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me," Tigerheat digs its paws into the famed music venue for one night only, as always, open to crowds 18 and over. Expect all the usual Tigerheat amusements: scantily clad go-go dancers, a VIP area, giant video screens and a midnight performance from dance troupe Barbie's Addiction. Club Tigerheat, 6215 Sunset Blvd., Hlywd.; Thurs., Feb. 10, 9:30 p.m.-3 a.m.; clubtigerheat.com.
