Dragon Wagon, DUKW, half tracks head to auction to save military museum

While selling off an unused building last month netted the Dean V. Kruse Foundation about $1 million to apply against the debt that its namesake left the foundation, the foundation still needs to cover another $2 million to keep its two remaining museums open. To raise those funds, more than half of the National Military History Center's collection of wheeled, tracked, and half-track military vehicles will head to auction in December.
Among the massive pieces in the NMHC's collection, the 1943-1944 Pacific M26 Dragon Wagon looms over them all. Designed by the Knuckey Truck Company of San Francisco, Pacific Car and Foundry of Renton, Washington, ended up building the six-wheel-drive, 48,890-pound tank recovery vehicle, powering it with a 240hp 1,040-cu.in. Hall-Scott Model 440 straight-six engine, four-speed transmission and three-speed transfer box. Twin 60,000-pound winches allowed it to pull disabled tanks onto its M15A1 trailer, rated for 45 tons, but once loaded up, the Dragon Wagon wasn't going anywhere fast: Top speed was somewhere around 26-28 miles per hour. After World War II, the Dragon Wagon – at least in its lighter, unarmored guise – continued to prove useful tugging around Saturn V rockets for NASA. According to the auction description, this particular M26 Dragon Wagon wears U.S. 1st Army, 332nd Ordnance Battalion markings.
Where the Dragon Wagon specialized at one task, another World War II six-wheeler, the DUKW, ended up handling a multitude of duties. Built by GMC to ferry supplies from ships right up onto the beaches, the DUKW-353 was essentially GMC's 2-1/2-ton CCKW-353 truck fitted with a watertight hull, propeller, rudder, and bilge pumps. As with the CCKW, GMC's 94hp 270-cu.in. overhead-valve straight-six powered the 14,880-pound DUKW through a five-speed transmission to speeds of up to 50 MPH on land and 5 MPH in the water. According to the auction description, the DUKW in the NMHC's collection wears the markings of the U.S. 1st Army, 818th Ammunition Battalion, 53rd Transportation Motor Pool, B Company.
According to Auctions America, the NMHC sale will be the largest offering of full- and half-track military vehicles at auction at once, and while the selection of half-tracks includes examples from Ford, Opel, Borgward, Auto Union, Hanomag, and Daimler-Benz, the half-track that most Americans will recognize (and the one that wins the award for most descriptive name) is the 1944 White M16 MGMC "meat chopper," an anti-aircraft version of the M3A1 fitted with a powered and armored turret and four .50 caliber machine guns. Powered by a 148hp 386-cu.in. White 160AX six-cylinder engine, the 10-ton M16 could hit a top speed of about 40 MPH. According to the auction description, the White M16 in the collection wears the markings of the U.S. Army's 1st batallion.
All but one of the vehicles in the auction will cross the block with no reserve. Auctions America's National Military History Center collection auction will take place December 8 at the National Military History Center in Auburn, Indiana. For more information, visit AuctionsAmerica.com.
UPDATE (22.August 2014): At least a few of the vehicles from the NMHC collection – including the DUKW and the White "meat chopper" are coming up for sale again at this year's Auctions America Auburn sale.
UPDATE (3.September 2014): The White meat chopper and the DUKW sold for $19,250 and $8,800, respectively, at the 2014 Auctions America Auburn sale.
Four-Links – Vietnamese from a Volkswagen, Flying Feather, Sloan racers, springer six
* Hai Truong at Motorhugger is also a Vietnamese chef by day, and last year he decided to combine the two passions by building a food truck out of a VW Type 2 to take his culinary skills to the streets of St. Paul. He's apparently finished with it now, and has several posts on Motorhugger on the bus's transformation. (Thanks to Paul Bellefeuille for the tip!)
* If the cyclecar had a shot at success anywhere in the world, it was in Japan, where the Suminoe Works attempted to bring the Flying Feather to market in the mid-1950s. David Greenlees at The Old Motor has more on the car.
* Mac at Mac's Motor City Garage recently took in the Sloan Auto Museum's vintage race car show and posted a number of photos.
* Who knew people raced Argos, those little six-wheeled tubs you always saw advertised in the back of Popular Mechanics? And who knew people took it to the extent of severely modified versions as seen in the photo above, found on Route6x6.com? (via)
* Finally, while we're on the topic of strange six-wheelers, Phil at Phil Are Go had a little Photoshop phun with a 1959 Lincoln ad.
Fords of the future, by Alex Tremulis
Images courtesy Ford Motor Company
While recently rooting around in Ford's image archives, we ran across a batch of concept car photos and renderings dating to the 1950s and 1960s that came with no contextual information or, worse, inaccurate labels. What struck us, upon deeper investigation, was that many of the concept cars in the photos were designed by Alex Tremulis, a man who is well known to most collector car enthusiasts, but more for his work with Cord and Tucker than for his time at Ford.
Hired away from Kaiser-Frazer by Elwood Engel in 1952, Tremulis first went to work in the Mercury studio, but within a year moved to Gil Spear's Advanced Studio. Tremulis would head that studio from 1954 to 1956 and gain a reputation around Ford as an unruly and almost anarchic force, unable to be controlled by his superiors. His studio was taken away from him and he was later assigned to the Thunderbird and Ford pre-production studios, moves commonly viewed as demotions meant to keep Tremulis in line. He ultimately left Ford in 1962.
We'll start with the La Tosca, shown above in color, which arrived in the thick of a run of jet-age bubbletop concepts such as the Mystere and the Lincoln Futura. According to Jim and Cheryl Farrell, writing in their book, Ford Design Department Concepts and Showcars, 1932-1961, it was conceived by Tremulis in 1954 "as an exercise to show students in the Advanced Studio how hard it was, even for professional designers, to design a car." It ended up taking Tremulis and Romeyn Hammond four times as long as they projected to finish it, partly due to the then-radical canted fenders, and partly due to the radio-controlled chassis they built for the 3/8-scale model by scrounging together Lincoln convertible top motors, a power-window regulator, a power-seat unit, power-window relays and a standard car battery. (The Farrells dedicate quite a few paragraphs to the antics that ensued after Tremulis discovered that the radio-control system could operate the car more than a mile distant. The stunts didn't win him many supporters among the Ford brass.) The La Tosca – presumably named after the Puccini opera – eventually evolved into the design for the 1958 Lincoln.
On a bubbletop kick, Tremulis – with help from Bill Balla – designed the X-2000 in 1956-1957. Like Tremulis's X-1000 that preceded the X-2000, little on the car was meant to predict the shapes or features of Fords of the immediate future; they were intended to be advanced concepts of the far-flung automotive future. However, the Farrells note that the X-2000′s grille shape certainly predicted the Edsel's horse-collar grille. Not many automotive historians connect Tremulis to the Edsel's most distinctive shape today, possibly because the X-2000 was only completed as a 3/8-scale model (a full-size clay was in the works, but was canceled before completion) and only shown in person at the Ford Rotunda.
Tremulis designed the three-wheeled (and also 3/8-scale) Maxima in 1954, intending to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Henry Ford's land-speed record at the helm of the Arrow. A jet engine would have theoretically powered the Maxima to 500 MPH; the Farrells claimed that it would later inspire Craig Breedlove's Spirit of America land-speed car.
The two-wheeled Gyron, however, would shortly afterward consume much of Tremulis's effort and time. As the Farrells wrote, Tremulis – whose chief and overwhelming concern was for aerodynamics – believed his design for a two-wheeled gyroscopically balanced car would represent the ultimate in automotive aerodynamics. "In short, Tremulis expected the Gyron to be a genuine breakthrough that would influence all future car design."
The earliest Gyron sketches were rendered in 1956, but Tremulis renewed his interest in the Gyron after learning of GM's 1959 Firebird III concept, which was hailed as the world's most advanced and most exotic car. Tremulis felt he could do better. At about that time, Tremulis's superiors at Ford assigned new hire Syd Mead to work with Tremulis on the Gyron, and together they convinced Ford to let them build a full-scale version of the car. Because a gyroscope of sufficient size to keep the full-scale Gyron upright proved far too expensive for the show car, a pair of wheels on outriggers were added to the design to keep the Gyron upright on the show stand (copywriters explained them away as necessary at low speeds and noted they'd retract at higher speeds); however, its front wheel did steer via a console-mounted dial, and an electric motor did propel the fiberglass-bodied show car up to about 5 MPH. The Gyron debuted in 1961 and would be one of Tremulis's last projects at Ford, though he would continue to pursue the idea of a two-wheeled gyro car long after he left the company. The fire that destroyed Ford's Rotunda reportedly took the Gyron as well.
From two wheels, Tremulis next turned his attention to a six-wheeled design. He'd been interested in the concept since at least the late 1930s, and seemed to take much of the inspiration for his latter-day design from the 1958 Nucleon, designed by Jim Powers, a designer that Tremulis himself recruited. Both the Nucleon and Tremulis's design drew their power from nuclear fuel cells that could conceivably be swapped out in interchangeable pods to tailor the vehicle to specific usages. But while Powers addressed the heavy weight of the shielding around the nuclear powerplant by sticking it in the rear of the Nucleon and extending the cab forward as a counterbalance, Tremulis decided to stick the shielded nuclear powerplant up front, over the four steerable wheels. Inside, Tremulis packed the six-wheeler with all sorts of technology, including a Gyron-like fingertip-controlled dial on the console that replaced the steering wheel and a computer-controlled navigation system. Called the Seattle-ite XXI, it debuted in 1963 at the Century 21 Exposition in Seattle and has since been hailed as one of the most significant concept cars for all of the innovations it embodied. From an examination of the photos, it was likely never more than a pushmobile with inoperative screens and controls.
Though Tremulis didn't design the 1956 DePaolo 3/8-scale model, another of Tremulis's designs (the DePalma), inspired Buzz Grisinger to submit the DePaolo design for Ford's Stylerama program. Named for Peter DePaolo, Indy 500 winner and, later, Ford racing coordinator, the design – which looks to borrow much from contemporary Bonneville streamliners and "represent an inversion of the form most typical of American automotive styling," according to the Farrells – eventually became the catalyst for Robert McNamara's interchangeability program, which aimed to reduce costs by creating common body panels across the Ford, Mercury and Edsel model lines.
The Farrells credit Tremulis with a number of other concept cars as well, including the aforementioned DePalma and X-1000, the 1954 Mexico, the 1954 Taj Mahal, the 1955 Madam X, the 1956 999 dragster, the late 1950s Wind Brake Car, the 1956 Scorpion and the 1961 Astrion. He would found his own consulting and design firm after leaving Ford.
UPDATE (23.September 2014): The below video from the King Rose Archives claims to show the Ford Atmos, but is actually the 3/8-scale LaTosca concept, as described above.
Four-Links – six-wheeled Minis, Gus and the Model Garage, electric Jeep, Mary Victor Bruce
* Over at Maximum Mini, Jeroen posted a roundup of all the six-wheeled Mini derivatives he could think of. Surprisingly, there's been more than a few over the years.
* We're fond of all the old handyman magazines here at Hemmings, so it pleases us to see that a fan of all the old Gus and the Model Garage stories from Popular Science has scanned, indexed and posted all the stories. (via)
* Military Jeeps were already green, but Jeep and EV enthusiast Mike Picard took that theme one step further by converting a 1952 Willys M38 to electric power.
* Kevin Gosselin, who provided us the excerpt of his latest book earlier this week, continues to write about Bentleys over at his blog, where he recently took up the story of Bentley racer Mary Victor Bruce.
* Finally, over at Big Blue's, a brief roundup of some of the Manx knockoff dune buggies and sport buggies.
Four-Links – the real Truck Norris, Dooooodge, Shelsley Walsh, TV ad trove
* Last weekend, Truck Norris made the rounds. We spoke with derf, the owner of the pickup, this past week and found out that the 1986 J-10 behind the phenomenon ain't frontin' – it really is a B.A. truck. Bonus, derf also put together this handy dandy gear ratio calculator.
* Also on the topic of B.A.ness, Keyblazer over on Expedition Portal recently (okay, last year) picked up this incredible 1977 Dodge van, converted to four-wheel-drive, extended a few extra feet and given a third axle. Where's the "I could totally live in that thing" guy when you need him? (via)
* Shelsley Walsh in Worcestershire is billed as "the oldest operational motorsport venue in the world," and has thus seen quite a bit of awesome machinery over the years. Flickr user Shelsley Special has an extensive gallery of some of that machinery.
Image via lov2xlr8.no
* The Duke University Digital Library, as it turns out, has quite the collection of vintage television advertisements, which all (or at least partly) seem to come from the archives of the D'Arcy Masius Benton & Bowles advertising agency, which at points in time held advertising accounts with AMC, Studebaker, GM and Volkswagen.
* Finally, oilstick.com has a tidy little collection of vintage drag and organized street race photos from the Santa Maria area.
Four-Links – Leighton Irwin passes, French six-wheelers, Magnolia Special, Monte Carlo historical rally
* We were saddened to hear this week about the passing of Leighton Irwin, a pioneer of Canadian motorsport and contributor over on the Garage Blog. Gary at the Garage Blog has an excellent photo gallery and remembrance of Leighton.
* Johnny tipped us off to this one: Apparently, there's some sort of French subculture dedicated to converting Citroëns to tiny semis. Then again, it's not just the French doing this…
* In all the talk about alternative fuels for automobiles nowadays, we rarely hear about propane or compressed natural gas. JT Nesbitt at Bienville Studios, known mostly for its motorcycle creations, has decided to custom build a vintage-flavored roadster powered by CNG. (via)
* Last week's Monte Carlo Rally celebrated its centennial with a class dedicated to historic cars, and FormFreu.de has some excellent photography of the event.
* Finally, over at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, New South Wales, they have in their collection a Ford Prefect converted to an EV in 1959 by Roy Doring, a prolific converter of electric cars. Sounds like a fella worth researching…
Project HMX – a new direction?
I got tired of hearing myself tell everybody who asked about Project HMX that I've just been too busy to get to working on it this year. No more! So over the weekend, I decided to take a completely new direction with it – six-wheeler! After all, if Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Bin Mohamed Al Nahyan can do it with his Nissan Patrol, I can do it with a Spirit AMX.
As you can see, I still need to work on suspension attachment points and cutting the wheelwells. Nothing major.
Hemmings Find of the Day – Total Recall taxi
Longtime readers of the blog might already know that I have a slight obsession over the vehicles from Total Recall, including the Johnnycab taxi. So it comes as no surprise that this six-wheeled Volkswagen-based taxi prop from the movie is my Hemmings Find of the Day. Note that this is not the actual Johnnycab – that was a four-wheeled cab, not six-wheeled. The seller's website claims this cab is driven by a robot named Benny. We saw either this particular cab or a few just like it in the photos from the Total Recall set that James Belohovek sent us earlier this year.
See more cars for sale on Hemmings.com.
Four-Links – Rudely awakened, Willys 6×6, Wells on Hood, Kind Midget muster
* Over at Crank and Piston, where much of the content is focused on the Middle Eastern car scene, they recently reflected upon the Herbert Hesselmann photos of Michael Dovaz's "collection." C&P wonders what other barn finds are still out there, but we got to wondering where all these cars are now.
* I don't really feel like waiting until the next March Military Campaign to link to Off-Road Action's post on the Willys 6×6 Jeep (part 2). The topic certainly warrants more research when I can make the time.
* This one's just for you, marmer. Via Nostalgia on Wheels comes this 1924 picture of Wells Bennet attempting a climb up Mt. Hood on the back of an Excelsior. According to the caption with the photo, Wells's attempt failed.
* We were pleased to see friend of Hemmings Bob Vahsholtz mentioned in Autoweek's story about the recent King Midget gathering at the Petersen.
* Finally, via Ride the Machine, we see this motorcycle built from Citroën 2CV parts, including the engine, steering, fenders and suspension. It apparently lives in northern Italy.
Three driveshafts or seven: DAF's pre-war four- and six-wheel-drive conversions
While American innovators were experimenting with converting Ford trucks to four-wheel drive as early as the 1910s, and largely for exploration or farming purposes, over in Europe there was a pressing need to convert to four-wheel drive as many trucks as possible for the impending war. Enter DAF.
In the latest issue of the American Truck Historical Society's excellent publication, Wheels of Time, John Bodden wrote on DAF's late 1930s conversions of two-wheel-drive Ford and GM trucks into both four-wheel-drive and six-wheel-drive vehicles, mostly for the Dutch military, in what was possibly one of DAF's first moves away from building just the trailers that figure into the company's name and toward full vehicle production.
The four-wheel-drive conversions were aimed at retaining the Ford and GM front axles and suspensions, making the conversions less complicated and less expensive than contemporary conversions, which scrapped the axles and suspensions for entirely new setups. To do so, DAF engineers developed a transfer case, as normally used on four-wheel-drive conversions, but one with dual forward outputs – one aimed at each front wheel. Individual diagonal driveshafts then transferred power to bevel-drive gears that replaced each front hub. Bodden didn't mention in the article how the system coped with turning the wheels – whether the driveshafts extended and compressed or whether the transfer case somehow pivoted in response – but he did note that the transfer case had no inter-axle differential.
The drive system was said to be cheaper to install than the Marmon-Herrington, with which we are familiar. It also enjoyed a shorter life than the Marmon, and had a peaceful death.
John Kopczynski's elliptical-wheeled tractor/jeep designs, DAF engineers mounted to the ends of the original rear drive axle a hollow walking beam tandem suspension which contained driveshafts to bevel gears at each outer end. (Kopczynski wasn't even that insane; he just used chains to transfer power.) Bodden noted that DAF completed more than 1,000 such conversions.The six-wheel-drive conversions similarly were designed to make use of the stock axle. In a setup we'd see echoed in
The drive axle was suspended by longitudinal leaf springs, so this entire mechanism was fully articulated. Though somewhat suggestive of the Hendrickson walking beam design, it was far more loosey-goosey, with neither torque rods nor the stout (read: hard riding) heavy springs or rubber biscuits of a Hendrickson.
Many other six-wheel-drive conversions, such as the much earlier Renault six-wheelers, simply employed a second rear axle and some method of slinging power back to the third axle from the second.
DAF, as we know, survived the war and went into full truck production in 1949. The innovative Variomatic transmission and DAF automobiles followed in 1958. Bodden notes that DAF, which is now a subsidiary of Paccar, today employs much more conventional drivelines.

Carlisle woman stands by decision to close business after hate campaign
Last updated at 12:00, Saturday, 26 May 2012
A young mum who is being forced to close her business after becoming the target of an internet hate campaign has put the company up for sale.
Related: Police probe Carlisle woman's claim internet bullies forced her out of business
Cupcake queen Emma Barnes announced three weeks ago that she planned to shut Babycakes, the baking company she runs from her Carlisle home, in October.
She took the decision after admitting she found the cake-baking community "too cruel" after receiving anonymous emails.
The announcement led to a flood of support from friends and customers with Babycakes fans inundating her with pleas to continue.
But the 29-year-old, of Morton, Carlisle, has pledged to stand by her original decision and is now looking for a buyer for the firm. "I can't even begin to describe how important all of those messages of support have been to me," she said.
"In fact, I think I've cried more over the positive feedback I've had than I ever did over the nasty messages.
"It's been surreal really; I've had complete strangers turning up on my doorstep.
"But it's definitely time for me to move on, I've got exciting plans for a new business venture with a friend which I hope to get off the ground later in the year."
Emma said she would love to see Babycakes live on and thought it would make an opportunity for someone to buy "a fantastic business".
"Even though I'm saying it myself, I think Babycakes is an awesome brand and it's ready for someone to take it on and build on the hard work I've put in," she added.
"I've had some inquiries already and I don't think I'll have any trouble selling it.
"It's going to be emotional letting go, but I've made my decision and now I'm looking forward to the next chapter of my life."

- 2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour (see Ingredient Note)
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup nonfat buttermilk
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained, juice reserved
- 2 cups grated carrots (4 to 6 medium)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
- For the Frosting:
- 2 tablespoons coconut chips or flaked coconut
- 12 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Toast walnuts in a small baking pan in the oven until fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes.
Whisk flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Whisk eggs, sugar, buttermilk, oil, vanilla and 1/4 cup of the reserved pineapple juice in a large bowl until blended. Stir in pineapple, carrots and coconut. Add the dry ingredients and mix with a rubber spatula just until blended. Stir in the nuts. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
Bake the cake until the top springs back when touched lightly and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
For the Frosting and to Finish Cake: Place coconut in a small baking pan and toast in the oven at 300 degrees F, stirring several times, until light golden, 5 to 10 minutes.
Beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake. Sprinkle with the coconut.

Kraus 1602 faucet, and expressdecor 15% off
From the thread: "Any recommendations on a reliable, industrial look faucet?"
I have Another question about the Kraus 1602:
when you turn on the main/bottom knob, does the sprayer turn on immediately?
Or do you have to "turn on" the sprayer (by squeezing the handle/clutch part)?
I saw a youtube video where the sprayer turned on as soon as he turned on the faucet, even w/out squeezing the sprayer handle. Is the youtube showing how the Kraus 1602 really work, or did he install it wrongly or is his faucet malfunctioning?
Or does the faucet/sprayer function more like this Vigo faucet?
I want a faucet sprayer to function like the Vigo one.
(But I like the reviews of Kraus brand, and expressdecor has 15% off right now).
thank you very much,
I had that same faucet, in a rarely used utility sink, and the sprayer failed within a year. Leaking, etc. Then, after being repaired by my plumber, the sprayer was down to a trickle within 2 months.
Also, when it was working, I found the spray a bit too enthusiastic for anyone other than someone who was willing to micromanage it. Meaning, i would hold my breath when my daughter and husband used it. I don't want to live with a faucet like that.
I bought it from Overstock.
I've had this faucet for over a year and it's been great. The sprayer has a locking mechanism. In your photo, you can see the hook attached with a screw. If you leave it locked in place, the sprayer comes on as soon as you turn on the faucet. If you leave it unlocked, you have to squeeze the handle for the sprayer. you could conceivable leave the main valve on and both sprayer and faucet head off, both on or either one on or off. We mostly leave the sprayer on and the faucet off.
The Kraus carries a lifetime warranty and customer service has been excellent. I had to use the service once when the vinyl covering on the hose started to yellow for direct sunlight. Kraus sent me a new one and told me that if I had the problem again, they'd replace it again.
I didn't watch the videos earlier because I had a bad connection. But I just did and to answer your question, yes the Kraus operates just like the Vigo. I don't know what that guy in the Kraus video was trying to show, but I think he forgot to unlatch the lock keeping the sprayer on.

Wooden sculpture promotes airport art
Friday 02 March 2012A unique piece of wooden art by Rob Heard has been 'checked-in' at Exeter Airport to promote an arts exhibition at the Exeter Flying Club building on Sunday 3 March.
One of the artist's Bough House sculptures will be on display the main terminal building over the weekend. It has a series of aerial walkways and staircases leading to rooms under fairytale turrets. Rob Heard's work, which has taken several months to create, was constructed on the edge of Exmoor with inspiration from the surrounding rolling countryside, and it evolved as part of a free-flowing creative journey which had no natural limit.
The sculpture will draw attention to the main exhibition which will show arts and crafts made by 'Ladies in Aviation' and 'Pilots in Art'. Paintings, jewellery, cards and wearable art will be on display from 10am until 4pm at the Aviation South West supported event.

Hey there! I'm Jillian and I'm glad you're here. Tenders & Trails is focused on promoting New England's great outdoors and adventures. Contrary to popular belief we have more than outlets and lobsters, and I'm hoping to help change that perception article by article. We have everything from sky diving to white water rafting to ice climbing, and it's time to share just how awesome we are. Read on and get adventuring!
It only took 27 years, but I finally took a ski lesson this past weekend – albeit nordic instead of alpine. The world just isn't ready for me screaming down a hill on skis, so we'll save that for another time. This lesson was definitely a long time coming and it had to happen (seeing as I'd like to get into backcountry splitboarding and skijoring), and I couldn't think of a better place… Read More
I've mentioned before that my love of hiking is a pretty new found thing. I spent years dreading the miles due to sore legs and battered feet. I tried one pair of boots after another, but nothing could get me from "Why am I doing this?" to "When can we go again?". On a whim and suggestion from a friend, I found my feet in a pair of Oboz… the day before setting… Read More
I noticed over the past year or so that I somehow let this lovely little blog of mine become almost entirely resource driven.

I need to stop comparing what I do and where I live to places and people I am… Read More
Every once in awhile, I notice I accidentally take a break from this blog of mine. It's never intentionally, but I've always noticed that the breaks come when I'm at a crossroads. In this case, I've been thinking a lot recently about what defines me. For years, I would say that I was a snowboarder and rock climber. Then came kayaking, and now I've added hiker on to my description too. The… Read More
Growing up, my parents taught me that you never throw anything on the ground that isn't meant to be there. Sticks, rocks, or native biodegradable elements (for example, an apple core) were alright. Plastic, paper, or something that might make an animal sick were not alright. Both my brother and I picked up on this naturally and figure out that we shouldn't be destroying nature at all. Later on, I learnt this… Read More

Doak observes that the book of Job, more than any other book in the Bible, uses metaphors drawn from the natural world, especially of plants and animals, as raw material for thinking about human suffering.

Help with my backsplash
Any ideas for a tile back splash to go with Wild Sea granite counters, White cabinets and dark wood floors? Was thinking plain small white subway tiles but it may be too much white.
Post an image of your materials and space if you can. Instructions on how to do so are in the sticky post at the top of the forum.
The issue isn't whether there will be too much white, it's what you ultimately want the kitchen to look like. Do you want more color? Do you want a modern look or a traditional one? Also, GWers will be able to help you more if you let us know your budget.
wow-haven't seen that one before...when googling that granite for images,from what is shown, I'd say pick out your slab first. It can have all kinds of shades from rose to gray/black/green/....it reads a little modern-how about the glass tiles or glass panels-light green if you get a slab with the green running through. shaker or flat panel doors style? the darker floor would work-but too dark shows a lot of stuff-you could do hard maple floor with a not so dark stain and be really beautiful. Have fun choosing!

Explosion coupled with Self-Destruction Poem by Matt Reyes
Some say that ignorance is bliss,
But it has caused me to miss
The greatest thing to happen to me,
The greatest thing that I could see.
The thing I missed, that thing was you,
Now I don't know what to do.
To win your heart, perhaps I can,
But now you have another man
Pushing me out of my place
In your heart please don't erase
me from your beautiful mind
To you I shall always be kind.
Fate, you've dealt me a cruel hand
And your absence I cannot stand.
Without you I shall always cry
Noone will love you more than I.
In my heart you'll always stay
My bestest friend, I'll be okay
Without your passionate wonderful love
My beautiful Angel, my Green-Eyed Dove.
Perhaps I'll draw a better card
Till then I'll remain on my guard
Waiting for that day to come,
Oh how could I have been so dumb
Not to see before my eyes
That I was losing you, what a surprise.
'I'll be okay' that's a lie,
Or maybe not I don't know why
I can't figure out my feelings inside
Of my soul, oh they all hide
Behind each other
What I think is one, is another,
Oh they confound me so
Should I stay or should I go
Insane once more, once again,
Tell me, tell me bestest friend
How it is I truly feel
This pain, this pain is so unreal,
That it rots me to my core
So much that I fall to the floor
That's flooded with my empty tears,
My false hopes, my true fears.
Without you I'm nothing this is true,
But I want you to be happy too.
I wish I were a lonely puppet,
But then again I am one, yet
Unlike this tiny plastic doll,
I have a heart, my one downfall.
My sadness will build up and unfold
Until I finally explode
From my feelings that contrast,
And cause destruction to come fast.

Where to start for a total beginner?
Hi Guys,
I'll have a 4x8' garden and several pots/planters to fill next year and I was wondering what kind of veggies/herbs might be idiot-proof for the Seattle area. I plan on building another larger garden to play with next year, probably about 4x12'. The garden is full sun, but I have a few partially shady areas where I could set up some planters. We started with the basic western garden veggies this year.
I love to cook and both my wife and I will eat anything. Thanks for the help.
Various Asian greens, most of which are related to mustard or cabbage, are reliable, productive and useful. Baby bok choy would be a good one for starters. Also yu choy and gai lan.
There are many good Asian radishes. Daikon is fun to grow and can be used in many ways, raw or cooked.
Japanese greens, such as Mizuna or Misome are especially interesting.
Many of the greens have a tendency to bolt when warm weather arrives. Those with that tendency are best sown in mid summer so they mature in cooler weather.

Saint-Julien-des-Landes Vacations
Saint-Julien-des-Landes is a popular place to visit in Vendee as some of the city's star attractions are close. Among the most interesting places to see are the fabulous Olonnes Golf and the fantastic Musee de l'Abbaye Sainte-Croix. Also worth checking out are the Les Sables d'Olonne Beach and the Saint Nicholas Church.
Be sure to visit some of the nearby museums and galleries, which help make this region the special place it is. In particular, you should make sure you check out the La Roche-sur-Yon Municipal Museum in La Roche-sur-Yon.
If you are into nature, head to some of the nearby green spaces. These are good spots to breathe deeply and relax. To catch a glimpse of the local wilderness drive out to the Ponds Nature Park in Mouilleron-le-Captif.
Make sure that you set aside some time to visit the most popular attractions in and around the area. See some places of worship such as Mouilleron-le-Captif Church in Mouilleron-le-Captif. Relax in the calm atmosphere and gain a deeper understanding of the role of religion in the area.
A great way to experience the great outdoors is to grab your golf bag and head to the area's challenging courses like the Port Bourgenay Golf in Talmont-Saint-Hilaire and Domangere Golf in Nesmy.
When you're ready to wind down after discovering the many charms of Saint-Julien-des-Landes, check in to one of the area's many accommodation options. The Appart'City La Roche sur Yon, La Roche-sur-Yon, the KYRIAD LA ROCHE SUR YON, La Roche-sur-Yon and the Pierre & Vacances Résidence L'Estran - Château d'Olonne, Chateau-d'Olonne are just three of the many great places to stay around here.

Smith admits Buckland fear
ESPN Staff
August 29, 2012
James Buckland could be out for the season © Getty Images
London Irish boss Brian Smith has revealed that hooker James Buckland could be ruled out for the entire Aviva Premiership season.
Buckland has been struggling with a knee injury and will visit a specialist next month to get a firm prognosis on when he will return to action but Smith admits that the prospects are looking bleak for the -year-old. Smith told getbracknell.co.uk: "He went to get his knee cleaned up in the off season, but it was so bad when they got in there that it may have written him off for the season."
But while Buckland looks set to miss the bulk of the new season, the Exiles have brought in young prop Richard Palfreyman from the Sharks. He joins the likes of Alex Corbisiero and Cai Griffiths at the Madjeski Stadium and Smith has high hopes for the 19-year-old.
"In terms of props - there was not much on the market earlier this summer," Smith said. "Now there has been a bit of a late run with guys making themselves available. "We have taken a bit of a punt, but every move we are taking is improving us as a squad. He [Palfreyman] should be here by the weekend."

Discussion: Western National Championships
Allan55, the tournament detail for Aurora shows only 41 teams signed up for the Rocky Mountain Championships. Deadline for entries was August 2.
Out Texas Makulis team played in the Western Nationals in Aurora last year and my wife and I really enjoyed the complex and the Aurora area! For us, it was a "drive" tournament, so expenses were not too bad.
I just got back from playing in the Western Nationals in Sacramento this year with Omen from California. Although there were 104 teams, as was stated above, most were from California (71 by my count). Not one Texas team was on the list. We played at the Sacramento Softball Complex and the fields were below par - all needed to be mowed and some were sopping wet from too much watering from the sprinkler system. Otherwise, the fields were well-maintained between games.
I would certainly support moving the Western Nationals back to Aurora.

Omen 65 Major Plus did not come close to hitting a home run in 6 games. However, I saw Ruth hit several in the Major class. The ball did not appear to be carrying much so line drives were imperative.

Discussion: Yellow Combat MM Gear vs Blue MM Gear
Michigan and Rightrj, my experience with these two bats is just the opposite of yours. My Yellow MM was a good bat but it did not last me long. On the other hand, the Blue MM has been a great bat and is still going strong! I have had to reglue the end cap twice but this bat is still hitting them a long ways! And it is showing no signs of giving up the ghost yet (note: that is probably the kiss of death!).

Just checked the SPA website for ANY information about when we play on THURSDAY. There is nothing available 5 days prior to the start of our 60 Major division. I've seen on this site that someone said there are 7 teams in the 60 Majors. That is all I've seen to date. I even called SPA HQ yesterday and was told they were working on the brackets. I do know the deadline was July 5 so we should have seen something this week.
Does anyone on this site know any particulars - I seem to be out of the loop.

My team (Texas Heat) is rated 60 Major. We are an "old" 60s team with several guys over 65. Our first seeding game was against a 50 Major team WITH NO SPOT (runs or 11 defensive players). We got killed 24-2. We played 2 - 50 teams in the seeding games and 55 AAA teams the rest of the games. We never played any 60 teams. Usually, we play 60 AAAs and spot runs or the extra defender. I'm not sure what happened here but usual SSUSA rules do not appear to have been used.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called The Coolest DAMN Cool Photographers on Flickr, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.
Why, what shape are yours?
The ones in the states are more rounder, short and squat (well, short-ish), where these are long and skinny (well, longer and skinnier).
Wonder what size they are 1.5 Liter?
I found this photo because you asked me to Explore My Photostream
I see I am not the only one who took pics of store shelves on my trip.
I have a direct association with Coca Cola and their killing of union organizers in Columbia, and the privatization of water in India, and the corporatization of education, and junk food marketed toward children.
they fit your hand better. btw they are 2Ltr

Tips on Sowing Amaryllis Seed Pls?
Hi All,
Last week at a meeting of my local Indoor Gardening Society, someone shared Amaryllis seeds. Anyone have experience w/ these?
I'm contemplating sowing 'em in a mix of chopped up long sphag & perlite (50/50) moistened (as I did my Hoya seeds & my Schlumbergera seeds) which are now about 5 & 6 months old respectively.
Had read online they can be started floating in water but the poster suggested they got better overall results sowing directly to mix.
Thoughts, opinions pls? TIA
(PG) Karen
There is lots of discussion on this in the hippie forum. Check out the FAQ. You do have to find your topic in the list, then scroll down until you come to it. Lots of links about germinating seed. I have had good luck floating mine in water, 90-100% success.
Here is a link that might be useful: Amaryllis FAQ
I have grown hippie seeds not amaryllis. Two different plants. One from Africa and one from South America. They do look similar but amaryllis seeds are round and hippie seeds are flat. I do believe they both can be grown this way;
I soak seeds in warm water with root tone mixed in. 24 hrs. them put in a container like they sell roasted chicken in. Black plastic bottom with clear plastic dome top. Makes the perfect green house to sprout the seeds in. Any good fine potting mix will do. Keep moist but not wet and with the lid almost closed. Place the seeds on the soil not covered. The hi moist conditions will help them sprout. In a week or so, it will look like grass growing, them years before you see or get anything. Remember, anything can come from a seed. One that has never been around before. So I guess it is worth the fun of trying.
Funny, I just described the same method I use to grow clivia seeds on off topic on the Sans forum.
Also almost all the seed sprout if fresh.

Flintoff out for two Tests
England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff experienced some discomfort in his left side whilst bowling for Lancashire on Friday at Old Trafford.
He was assessed and received treatment by the Lancashire medical team after the LV County Championship match against Durham and subsequent scans on Friday evening confirmed the diagnosis of a side strain to the left side of his body.
Flintoff has been ruled unavailable for selection for the opening two npower Test matches against New Zealand and will be reassessed during the course of the Test series whilst receiving ongoing treatment.
This is a relatively common injury for fast bowlers but is in no way related to the left ankle injury Flintoff has suffered from in recent times.
Since returning to cricket with Lancashire this year Flintoff has not experienced any discomfort in his left ankle and continues to make excellent progress in his rehabilitation from surgery last October.
Flintoff said: "Obviously I'm bitterly disappointed to be unavailable for Test selection due to this injury as I'm really enjoying my cricket with Lancashire and feel my bowling has been improving with each match.
"I've put in a lot of hard work to get to this point after ankle surgery last year and I know I can overcome what isn't a significant injury.
"It's very frustrating to have picked up an injury at this time but I want nothing more than to return to the England side and will continue to do everything required to make myself available for selection."
