I've been on Dreamstime just over 2 years. I started with the hope of making a decent living at stock photography, but have found that it takes a lot of effort and a lot of time - with really delayed gratification.
Today I've sold my 100th image, an editorial image.
Our area was hit by baseball size hail, and of course I toured the town with my camera to capture some of the damage.
My own truck and travel trailer were damaged horribly. Our yard was pummeled as well.
I've learned a lot over the past 2 years - and being a stock photo contributor has forced me to improve my craft and raise my standards! While I'm not getting rich, I do appreciate the education I'm receiving as a contributor.
I recently reached 600 images uploaded on Dreamstime!
This is Dillon, I tell him he's my star! He's my 600th image, and I have quite a few of him. It helps that he's so photogenic!
And our small town is still recovering from a large hail storm, so editorial photo opportunities are everywhere:
Small town hope
I'm thankful for Dreamstime because working as a stock photographer has forced me to improve my skills and look for things that are commercially valuable. My acceptance ratio is improving as well.
Thanks, Dreamstime!

DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire women's volleyball team played host to another successful "Volley 4 Holly" event on Tuesday, May 12. The fifth-annual "Volley 4 Holly" tournament raised over $1,800 for the Holly Young Fund, while a tournament-record 30 teams competed including representatives from all 20-varsity programs in the athletic department.
The event was created to raise money for Wildcat volleyball player Holly Young, who passed away on Jan. 24, 2008 after a courageous three-year battle with Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. The funds raised at the event will go to a scholarship setup in Young's name at Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School, the Jimmy Fund and cancer research.
Teams made a minimum donation of $50, while several sponsors helped made the event even more successful.
For those who would still like to make a contribution to the tournament or the Holly Young Fund, please contact Associate Head Coach Stacy Barnett at 603-862-4664.

I bought this in Caramel Comfort. I was looking for creme CARAMEL, which in my mind is the color of, well, caramel - a warm dark tan, maybe a bit yellow or light orange toned. What I got had quite a bit of gold and - yuck - whiteish blueish frosties. The frost is very small particles, so it's not big chunks, but I was annoyed that the cap is tinted so you can't really see the color well, and the display in no way indicated that this was a frost.
I'd say this had the pigmentation of a sheer lipstick, and it felt very moisturizing and soothing on the lips, but the white/blue frosties gave this a blue-pink tone that I was not at all what I looking for, esp. in something called "caramel" that had a pale orangey tinted cap. I was looking for a warm colored creme, not a cool nude w/ blueish looking frost.
It wasn't terrible, but it made gave me a bit of that hypothermic blue lip look that I absolutely hate and made my pale face look washed out and blah. If they left out the blue/white frost and only had the gold frost, it would've looked fine.
I even went on the loreal website, which is terrible, and unlike, say, lancome, which describes it's lip products very well (this is a creme rose, this is a coral with gold frost, etc.) it said NOTHING about whether any color was a creme or a frost, what color family it was in, etc.
Unfortunately, white and blue frost sets my teeth on edge. I hate it. The quality of this "balm" was good, but the failure to label it as a frost and the failure to use a cap you could see through to see the color are huge negatives to me.
4/17/13: I tried this in Caring Coral. MUCH better color in that there are no blue/gray frosties and no gray lip look. This is a warmer color - a VERY sheer coral that actually adds almost NO color to your lips, but at least does not make them look like you have hypothermia. Marshmallowy- vanilla smell, good moisturizing ability, medium shine (neither matte nor hi-gloss). Doesn't last very long, but did not dry my lips. If you're looking for a pop of color this is not it, unless your lips are naturally very pale (mine are quite pigmented), but it won't make you look dead, like the Caramel Comfort, which is more of a grey-tan.

This is what I'd call a my-lips-but-worse effect.
I bought Rose Elixir and Caring Coral on sale, and don't really care for either of them. As it happens, these are both slightly lighter than my natural lip color, and my lips aren't even that pigmented.
Due to this, I get a "milky" effect when I try to layer on either color, which rather washes me out instead of brightening up my complexion.
I bought these because I wanted something sheerer than the Revlon lip butters, yet I STILL don't like this product. Isn't there middle ground anywhere?

I have this balm in Heavenly Berry. I like the colour and the fact that it just gives a bit of a tint. However, This is a pretty mediocre balm. The claim is that it will moisturize your lips for 8 hours but it only lasts about 2 hours on my lips. I'm kind of annoyed that it didn't deliver on its promises especially since I paid about $8 for it!

I'm a balm person. I want moisturization and SPF and a YLBB look. My HG is Fresh Sugar Rose, but it's too pricey. I tried the L'oreal and was very satisfied. It has a nice creamy feel. The Rose Elixer color is perfect for me. My only complaint is the packaging. I like to stick my blam in my pocket while I'm working out or riding my horse and the package is kinda big for that.

Skin: Normal, Medium, Warm
Hair: Black, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Black
SHADE: Tender Mauve
STAYING POWER: 3 hours tops
COLOR: pink, beige and lilac (mauve) with golden shimmer
SCENT: soft vanilla notes
PACKAGING: tough plastic cover, metal base. Sturdy.
WEAR: sheer to medium coverage
FORMULA FEEL: glossy and gritty
SPF?: yes, 15
Worst Con: the taste, shimmer concentration, lasts a month
Best Pros: the color, formula
Purchased this at Walmart yesterday. I was looking for a nice balm. But the color had me sold. The shimmer is a little too concentrated that when you rub your lips too much it starts to burn. Oddly enough I like the shimmer as it adds to the color's beauty. Just don't like how it feels. The staying power is below average for a balm and I will probably finish up the product by the end of the month. One will last you a good month if its used daily. It is very moisturizing but manages to not feel greasy. Kudos for that. Though it will leave a glossy mark on your coffee mug.
The formula is so rich (slips) that it inevitably ends up in your mouth and it tastes like a perfumed crayon. Yuck. One swipe means barely there and three+ swipes translates in medium coverage color.
I will repurchase again only because the color is sooo gorgeous and thus worth the cons for me. I'm a Buff Beige-N4 in L'Oreal. HG shade for me!

I love these balms overall! I love that they actually are a tinted balm and make my lips feel very soft. The Revlon lip butters seem a little drying to me. I don't like how some shades are pretty darn sheer, but they are still worth it to me. I have Caring Coral and Rose Elixer and the coral is more pigmented than the rose. I don't notice any real smell or taste either. The packaging is nice as well.
Overall a great product! I'd love to see more shades released.

Age: 44-55
Skin: Combination, Fair, Warm

Horribly drying! Tastes terrible! Shades are very sheer and hardly show on my lips at all. I would not purchase these again and instead prefer the Revlon Butter Balm. I bought 3 of these and gave them all away after trying them because they had a terrible flavor when applied and then dried out my lips and made them peel. Obviously there is an irritating ingredient in this product .

I purchased Tender Mauve. I thought I would give a shade that wasn't a "nude" a try....
I like it. Its a "mauve nude" on me that looks pretty. It brightens my face a bit.
This formula really isn't a "balm" at all. When I think balm I think the waxy matte Chapstick Cherry type balm (which I also love!). This is a sheer shiny gloss type product. Completely non-sticky, but it will need frequent reapplication. I like applying balm, so this is a complete non-issue for me. I like it, but I probably won't repurchase or try another one.

I was buying new mascara and there was a bogo half off sale on all L'Oreal products and I was interested in trying a balm. I bought Caring Coral and I love it. My lips look smooth and the hint of color is perfect for my skin tone. It enhances the natural pink in my lips. It smell good, but it does taste like sunscreen.

Age: 19-24
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I bought this instead of the Revlon Lip Butters which obviously are a huge trend right now. I liked the color selections better and could see that I wasn't going to have to worry about glitter like others had complained about in Revlon's product. Rose Elixir is what I got and I love it. It's a very subtle pastel pink and blends in right with my lips giving them just a hint of color and making them look silky and moisturized. Great for when you need a tiny pop of color without much effort. It's basically goof-proof which was what I was looking for after getting tired of having to constantly check in the mirror at work. Would repurchase and try other shades!

(WAVE) It's become quite the attraction in Oldham County, Kentucky.
Rusty Combs has had the idea for a playhouse for his grandchildren for a long time and he's finally made that idea come to life.
Combs' 20-month-old granddaughter, Kiley, is his pride and joy. Before she was born, Combs had a dream, something that's actually been decades in the making.
"It really did get designed along the way," said Combs.
First he imagined it for his two sons, but never got around to it. Once Combs became a grandfather he knew it was finally time to make his dream come true.
"Well, it started out about two years ago as a two month project," said Combs.

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! There was a pirate festival going on in Fresno and we checked it out yesterday. It was pretty cool! They had vendors, food, and of course pirates. Any excuse to dress like a pirate (and talk like one too) is okay by me. :)
I'm really digging the earthy tones in this outfit, and I really didn't feel like doing my hair. I was reading my newest issue of Allure Magazine and there was an article on runway make up and hair. They included some low knotted hairstyles with texture and I thought it might be fun to try. I teased the crown area, threw in a couple of braids, and then did a half pony in the back and wrapped the loose ends around the elastic.
So easy, and I think it completed the look. What do you think? Good for those days when you don't feel like styling your hair!
Have a great Monday! <3

"Frank's Redhot - I Put That **** On Everything!" ~ Ethel
I think really the big issue here is that smoking isn't a right that affects only the individual excercising that right. It's not gay marriage or voting. It's not gun ownership or religion. Smoking not only adversely affects the smoker, but also those around the smoker.
Liberatians are hipocrits on this issue IMHO. "Any and all rights are fine as long as they don't hurt other people", isn't that the Libertarian's creed?
"Except smoking. Smoking is alright with us."
Enjoy your burrito.
Kinda like an Opium Den.
For smokers.
Libertarians aren't calling for people to be forced to inhale second hand smoke. What we want is the power for people to make up their own minds on this and not the government. Just like Rob19 is saying, the majority of places will offer smoke-free environments especailly where kids are concerned. But places where it's adult only like bars, night clubs and even restaurants. That decision should be left to the property owner.
OK, so it isn't right to make it illegal to partake in an activity that actively harms those around you. Where does it end? Should people have the freedom to have sex with children? I mean, there goes our freedom to have sexual relations with whoever we want. Hell, then why is murder even illegal? So much for our freedom to do whatever we want.
Sometimes I wonder if completely anarchy is desired. The entirety of my school career has been spent in human behavior. What you guys are advocating is a system based on the idea that humans are intrinsically good and will take the welfare of others into effect when making their decisions. I can guarantee you that this isn't the case. A single person is well-meaning and tries to do right by others. A group of people is stupid, impulsive, and dangerous. You want to see what happens to a society without rules, look at some aboriginese tribes in Africa pre-colonization. Members of they community took care of each other as well as possible, but that didn't stop rivals for mates, or rival hunters from other tribes being brutally murdered because they were in the way. Rules have to exist, period.
There is a need for some rules. I love me some beer. I'm a beer snob and I thoroughly enjoy drinking as many types of beer as possible. I would love the freedom to walk down the street and drink that beer while shopping. Hell, if I have to put up with the wifey trying on 500 dresses, I should be allowed to at least be buzzed while doing so. My enjoyment of that particular activity doesn't change the fact that I understand why I'm not allowed to do so.
I'm assuming you all who are advocating this are smokers. That makes me think you can't be objective. Yes, it sucks having to leave your table and go outside to have a quick cigarette. It would suck worse for that poor girl who found out she has pre-cancerous cells and hasn't smoked a cigarette her entire life, which is a true story involving a close personal friend of mine. They caught it early and they feel like they can treat it before it becomes full-blown cancer, but it turns out because she hung out with smokers the better part of the last 10 years, while actively inhaling their secondhand smoke, she is now at high risk for lung cancer. Yes, she put herself in that position by hanging out with smokers. But, what about some random businessman who has to meet in restaurants as part of his job? Is it fair that he is now at a higher risk of cancer because a few people don't like that they have to walk outside to smoke?
My stance on this will never change. Smoking is one of the worst things humans do. If you want to do it, then by all means. You have the right to kill yourself if you want. You do NOT have the right to endanger those around you, right or not. If even one single person doesn't get sick because of this law, it is a resounding success in my book...
Dude your talking crazy talk. How is any of that comparable to having a bar or pool hall that only lets consenting adults in with the knowledge that smoking is allowed in THIS particular establishment. I agree that there should be restrictions in places that allow minors inside, but for those places who decide to let consenting adults in with the knowledge that smoking is allowed inside, that shouldn't be illegal. There's a small niche for that, and although unhealthy, it shouldn't be a criminal issue, but rather a health issue.
Are we capable of making concessions on this forum or just getting further entrenched in the position we first took?
Furthermore, If I would happen to own a place like that, I'd provide & encourage my staff to wear something like this.
I only smoke herb. It's not radioactive so I'm not getting any cancer from it.

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Defensive end Alejandro Villanueva and linebacker Jake Knott were among the first wave of cuts by the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday.
Villanueva, who played his collegiate football at Army, spent the last four years serving three tours of Afghanistan and was most recently promoted to captain. He has earned numerous honors for his service, including the Bronze Star Medal for valor.
Knott posted eight tackles over 12 games in his rookie season last year, but was due to be suspended for the first four games this season for PED use.
Others among the 14 Philadelphia cuts included tight ends Blake Annen and Emil Igwenagu, offensive linemen Michael Bamiro, Karim Barton and Donald Hawkins, wide receivers Kadron Boone and B.J. Cunningham, defensive ends Joe Kruger and Frances Mays, defensive backs Davon Morgan and Daytawion Lowe and kicker Carey Spear.

White Tea: A Teapot Of Youth
A recent study out of England that looked at the healthful qualities in a number of plant and herbal extracts found that white tea came out on top. In fact, it has been suggested that white tea might even help slow down the outward effects of aging (i.e., wrinkles) by retarding the degenerative processes that affect the skin.
Interestingly, most, if not all, of the plants tested had beneficial qualities, but it was determined that white tea had particularly high anti-aging potential. The reason for this is because white tea helps to maintain the integrity of certain structural proteins in the skin, namely elastin and collagen. Elastin helps maintain the elasticity of our skin (as well as lungs and arteries), where it helps repair wounds and reduce sagging. Collagen is in the connective tissue and is important for skin strength and elasticity, as well.
White tea is able to do this because it contains compounds that are known to inhibit enzymes and oxidants that are associated with our body's inflammatory response. Though they are normal processes, these inflammatory responses are also linked to diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, certain cancers, as well as wrinkles. Interestingly, the levels of white tea used in the study were far below what a person would normally drink, surprising the researchers by how effective it actually was.
White tea comes from the same plant (Camellia sinensis) as green, oolong, and black tea, except that unlike oolong and black tea, it is neither oxidized nor cured. A specialty of the Fujan province in China, white tea contains buds and young tea leaves and is believe to be higher in caffeine content than green tea.
Previous research has found that white tea has anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties, and compared to green tea, is higher in caffeine and the amino acid theonine, both of which have mood enhancing qualities. And because it comes from fresh, unfermented and unbroken tea leaves (i.e., it is less processed), white tea is higher in catechins than other teas.
Catechins are antioxidants that are believed to help prevent stroke, diabetes, cancer, and heart failure. Previous research in animal models has shown that they, too, have certain anti-ageing properties. They are also thought to help protect our DNA from oxidative stress and damage, and have antibiotic qualities, prompting some experts to call for its classification as a vitamin.
While more work needs to be done before any definitive conclusions can be made, the news is exciting in that something as simple and natural as a cup of tea could have so many health benefits. So enjoy a cup in conjunction with a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables as way to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Test ID: FEYE
Uveal Melanoma, Chromosome 3 Monosomy, FISH, Tissue
Method Description Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
The test uses a commercially-available chromosome 3 centromere probe (D3Z1) and a laboratory-developed BCL6 (3q27.2) probe. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues are cut at 5 microns and mounted on positively-charged glass slides. The selection of tissue and the identification of target areas on the hematoxylin and eosin (H and E)-stained slide is performed by a pathologist. Using the H and E-stained slide as a reference, target areas are etched with a diamond-tipped etcher on the back of the unstained slide to be assayed. The probe set is hybridized to the appropriate target areas and 2 technologists each analyze 100 interphase nuclei each (200 total) with the results expressed as percent abnormal nuclei.(Unpublished Mayo method)
PDF Report Indicates whether the report includes an additional document with charts, images or other enriched information
Day(s) and Time(s) Test Performed Outlines the days and times the test is performed. This field reflects the day and time the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time required before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means assays are performed several times during the day.
Samples processed Monday through Sunday. Results reported Monday through Friday 8am-5pm CST
Analytic Time Defines the amount of time it takes the laboratory to setup and perform the test. This is defined in number of days. The shortest interval of time expressed is "same day/1 day," which means the results may be available the same day that the sample is received in the testing laboratory. One day means results are available 1 day after the sample is received in the laboratory.
7 days
Maximum Laboratory Time Defines the maximum time from specimen receipt at Mayo Medical Laboratories until the release of the test result
10 days
Specimen Retention Time Outlines the length of time after testing that a specimen is kept in the laboratory before it is discarded
Slides and H&E used for analysis are retained by the laboratory. Client provided paraffin blocks and extra unstained slides (if provided) will be returned after testing is complete.
Performing Laboratory Location The location of the laboratory that performs the test

Incarnate Word Academy swimming makes great strides in the pool
Angels come back from brink of extinction to find success
CORPUS CHRISTI - The story of how Incarnate Word Academy's swim team has progressed over the past four years almost is like a Disney movie, if you ask the boys' captain Sam Novack. All it needs is a fairy-tale ending.
"It seems like a story you could write, like a fairy tale, the way so many things have come together," Novack said.
Like most fairy tales, this one had a foreboding beginning when coach Maricela Garza moved to San Antonio three years ago, leaving the school without someone to lead the swimming program. After Garza left, no one in the area seemed willing to accept the position.
Dan Shea's daughter Katie was a senior at the time and was looking forward to possibly qualifying for the TAPPS state championship. However, without a coach, Katie's goal wouldn't be possible.
To give his daughter a shot at state, Shea asked if he could fill the position.
"Since both of my daughters were swimmers, and did not mind their dad being the coach, I volunteered and IWA graciously accepted," Shea said.
Shea began juggling coaching the swim team while running his practice, Shea Physical Therapy. That's when he met Novack.
"I remember the first day of practice I jumped in the pool thinking I could do this. After the first 100 yards though, I felt sick," said Novack, who was a sophomore at the time.
"I remember after three laps I thought I'd killed him," Shea said.
But he didn't and Novack returned to the next swim practice.
"Coach Shea had the right attitude about swimming," Novack said. "He's one of those guys you just don't want to let down."
In his second year coaching, Shea met Adam Scott. Scott already was the head coach for BEAT (Bay's Edge Aquatic Team) and the owner of Finishline Performance, a personal training business. Shea convinced Scott to join him in helping coach the IWA swimmers, and soon after, the pair started seeing their once-small team grow and improve.
In 2009, Shea's first season, the IWA girls finished 20th at state. The next year, they improved to eighth. The boys finished 18th in Shea's first year, and improved to sixth the following year.
This season both teams aim to finish in the top three at Saturday's regional meet and top five at the state championships on Feb. 12.
"Over the past three years, IWA has been working very hard to build our aquatic program so that we may be able to be a contender for the TAPPS state championship and compete locally against CCISD," Shea said.
The Angels finished second at the CCISD Class Meet earlier this season, despite competing against local public schools with much larger teams.
"When you see other schools and their size, it is intimidating," said Mary Jane Shea, IWA's girls captain and Shea's youngest daughter. "My freshman year we would have never thought of racing Carroll and beating them because they have a lot of titles."
For Novack, the fairy-tale ending will come after the 400 freestyle relay at the state finals — the very last race of the Championship.
"When I get out of the water after that race, my swimming career is over," Novack said. "I want it to be a fairy tale moment."

Hey Y'All,
Sorry for the delay but work and shows kinda got me twisted if you know what I mean. After seeing the Panic show that afternoon at the Fairgrounds, it was time for some dessert! I met Zee, Frank and Emily, Dewer, Matt, Rack, John, Michelle(my gracious landlord for the weekend!), Hampton, Murray, Rama, Annabel, Dave, Ashley, and about 1500 other Freaks at the Orpheum. It seems like a Jazzfest tradition of some sort. We camped out in the 8th row, same as last year. Umphrey's McGee was the opener and played for over an hour. They played a nice Rock and Roll Heaven and covered The Song Remains the Same very nicely. Warren came up on stage and joined them for their set closer, almost a 15 minute song.
Mule hit the stage a bit after 10:45. They rocked out with a Mr. Man. After a long About to Rage, they played a great combo of She Said>TNK. Got to hear a Wine and Blood after the sweet Empty Pages. Brendan Bayliss joined for the setcloser, Sco-Mule. I thoroughly enjoyed the set, but the 2nd set was looming in the near distant. I'll Be The One was a nice mellow opener but that changed as they slammed into Slackjaw.
After a very short set break, Mukle hit the stage just after midnight. The next treat for the weekend was the guest appearance of David Hidalgo of Los Lobos. He added some nice bluesy chops to the two numbers he played with Warren. Him and Warren traded licks until they faded into a drum solo. Matt was joined by the 2 percussionists from Umphrey's McGee. At the end of the drum solo, enter stage right, Col. Claypool. He did a slamming bass solo to accompany Matt and led back into the end of Spoonful. Next, Jake Cinnenger, also from Umphrey's McGee joined the Mule for a nice version of Lively up Your Yourself, and trust me, everyone was lively by then! Our next surprise guest was Brian Stoltz from the Funky Meters. He sat in for both songs of the encore. Here is how it went

curt raitz added a post in a topic Bitchn'Rides '50 Phantom FleetsideUpdate on the Phantom Fleetside;
Finished the chassis ready for engine, exhaust, etc.
While looking closer at photos of the truck, I noticed the disc brakes were smaller plus the calipers were black.
I replaced them and mounted the engine, exhaust and fuel tank to the chassis.
Now onto the fun part...finishing the body.
curt raitz added a post in a topic New Site/Forum LookYes, same for me. I was able to load photos from Fotki until yesterday. Now I can't unless I use the method AZTom uses.
curt raitz added a post in a topic Bitchn'Rides '50 Phantom FleetsideThanx for the positive comments so far...
I'm gonna try and update the build, hopefully the photos will load this time!
I was afraid I would need to get the wheels 3-D printed. But by pure accident I found a set of wheels in a kit that are almost exact replicas of the Billet Specialties Legacy wheels used on this truck.
I picked up this kit on ebay for a future diorama project. I wasn't keen on the custom wheels until I looked at them really close. Dang, it looks like they used the Billet Specialties Legacy wheels as a pattern for these. And another bonus - they spec out to be 19" and 20" in 1/25 scale.
Photo of the wheels/tires showing contrast between the finished wheels/tires and unfinished:
Sometimes..."even a blind squirrel will find the nut"
Back to the bench
I don't know about this new version, now all of my text decides to underline itself...and I can't change it????
curt raitz added a post in a topic Bitchn'Rides '50 Phantom FleetsideSo what happened?
Do I change my settings in fotki or on the forum. I really like the "Share" button in fotki and the "attach photo" button in the old version.
worked beautifully!!!
curt raitz added a post in a topic New Site/Forum LookThank you, that's too bad...I have the same problem with the itty-bitty default font!
curt raitz added a post in a topic New Site/Forum LookOK
a couple of issues
1. I finally figured out how to load photos from Fotki, it was working fine until today. The file shows up on the post, but the image will not open as it has always done in the past.
2. Can I change the default font/size in the reply box? I like this one.
other than these two issues, I'm liking it so far
curt raitz added a post in a topic Bitchn'Rides '50 Phantom FleetsideAh yes the paint...
Kudos to Jameston from ScaleFinishes! I had the pleasure of meeting him at the GSLXV in April. I discussed with him of my idea of building the Phantom Fleetside. He resides in Salt Lake City and took the time to visit Kingdig-iT Designs to get information on the Fleetside. He was able to identify the paint they used and he made up a "Phantom Fleetside" batch of paint.
Red is Audi 4Y4Y Salsa Red; White is Chrysler PWG Cool White
For some reason I'm no longer able to load photos from fotki, was working fine a couple days ago - what happened?
the file is there, but no image...
Didn't work..at least I thought it didn't until I saved the post - wella! photo showed up
curt raitz added a post in a topic Bitchn'Rides '50 Phantom FleetsideMore progress photos...
I used the LS3 engine/transmission from the Camaro kit. I was not able to find a scale Magnuson rear-drive supercharger for this engine.
So, I built my own. I made a mold of it and resin cast a bunch of 'em - so if any of you need a Magnuson rear drive supercharger...
Engine coming together:
Also did the same with the valve covers:
Well,I got caught up in the moment and finished the engine, made decals for the "Fleetside" on the valve covers.
Thanx for lookin' more to come...
curt raitz added a post in a topic Bitchn'Rides '50 Phantom FleetsideJust enjoyed 3 days on the workbench working on the model.
I was able to finish the interior, chassis and engine.
I couldn't find decent coil-over shocks in the parts bin, so decided to build my own. Used aluminum tubing, rod and wire.
Built the springs by wrapping wire over a screw:
All the pieces for a few coil-over springs:
IFS found in the parts bin, no idea what kit they came in...
The modified Ford 9-inch rear end is from the Revell '32 Ford kit:
All the chassis and suspension parts painted and ready for assembly:
More to come...
Dave Kindig was quite pleased when the belt-lines actually matched between the suburban and chevy cab.
Running Board Brackets...bulky - yes...I did consider modifying, but left alone - afraid to mess up the brackets for the running boards.
curt raitz added a post in a topic Bitchn'Rides '50 Phantom FleetsideFirst, I need to build the Art Morrison chassis.
Found a photo of an Art Morrison chassis for early Chevy trucks:
Using the stock chassis as a guide, I modified the AMT '50 Chevy chassis to replicate a Morrison chassis:
While looking for an IFS and rear end for the build, I moved to fabricating the interior.
First were the seats, my friend Steve found a couple that were close. I built one up using miliput to get the shape just right. I then made a mold of it and resin cast them:
Next were the door panels and center console/armrest:
I then modified the dash to match:
Body modifications included filing in all the vents and modifying the rear quarter windows. The rear quarter windows are shorter than stock and raised from the belt line:
I resin cast the stock rear quarter windows from the AMT Chevy kit:
I then glued the resin cast windows in place, then filed and sanded the opening to get the desired result:
After cutting the front/top from the resin Chevy panel truck, found a couple of inner bed wheel coverings from a discarded trailer kit in the parts bin and mated up to the AMT Chevy cab. I will be joining the resin bed to the cab along the door line.
More to come...
thanx for lookin'
curt raitz added a post in a topic New formatOk I figured it out...
curt raitz added a post in a topic New Site/Forum LookI figured it out...
curt raitz added a topic in On The WorkbenchBitchn'Rides '50 Phantom FleetsideHaving owned a 1955 Chevrolet 1st Series pick up, I was blown away when I saw this truck being built by Kindig-it Design on the Velocity Network TV show "Bitchin'Rides".
A 1950 Chevrolet Phantom Fleetside Pick'em Up Truck.
I became very interested in building a model of this truck. I contacted Kindig-it Design about my desire to build a replica of this vehicle.
They have been very supportive by providing a number of photographs and information on the build. Dave Kindig, himself wants me to keep him updated on the build as it progresses. I plan on taking the completed model to Salt Lake City for the 2017 GSL and also take it by Kindig-it Designs for a looky-loo.
The Phantom Fleetside has a GM LS3 6.2L V-8 engine with a Magnuson rear-drive supercharger. A Tremec T56 magnum 6 speed manual transmission. K&N air cleaner. A Ford 9-inch rear end. The chassis and suspension are from Art Morrison. Wheels are 19x8 front and 20x10 rear from Billet Specialties Legacy II G with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.
The base model is the excellent AMT '50 Chevy Stepside:
I found a resin 1950 Chevy Panel truck from Star Models:
I found a nice engine/transmission in the following kit:
I made a mold of and resin casted the disc brakes from this kit also:
Now on to building an Art Morrison chassis and finding a Magnuson supercharger, Legacy II G wheels, etc.

Quote lestress: Is that what that said, I couldn't read it. Yes, another lost/found child - is there no end to them?
No wonder that poor little baby in Katherine's dream is crying so hard. He knows his mean old drunken grandmother is going to give him away!!!! I really have very little liking for Katherine anymore. How many children's lives can you damage? She gave Jill away and then her son. Who else is out there?
HOw much of the blame can she lay at the feet of alcoholism? I am totally disgusted with this story line. Just my opinion.
I have my helmet on!!!
LOL..lestress(put a helmet on reserve for me ok).....had to read this one to discover what is going on with this storyline-they could take it one step further and say that jill actually gave birth to a girl and not a boy as was thought(considering kays drunken state and all) and the girl turned out to be carmonster and it was jill who killed her b/c she discovered that her loving phillip had not died in the car wreck after all and carmonster came to gc and kept the secret from jill- when jill discovers the deceit and is so angry over all the lost time with dear phillip that she flies into a rage and bludgeons carmonster to death leaving with her bludgeoning weapon that guarantees that all blood will be sucked up into a vessel making it appear to the neked eye that the victim simlpy went to sleep and never awakened...ya think
With Katherine, Jill and Nikki at the Chancellor's Mausoleum who knows the outcome.
Quote lestress: Well I at least I have one ally
Mee too I am your ally buddy have no fear... Ok, so that will also mean that Nina and Philip will have to resurface in GC... why dont they just exhume this boys body, and run some tests and figure out this linage...

Uncertainty and risk in wildland fire management: A review
Thompson, Matthew P.; Calkin, Dave E. 2011. Uncertainty and risk in wildland fire management: A review. Journal of Environmental Management. 92(8): 1895-1909.
Wildland fire management is subject to manifold sources of uncertainty. Beyond the unpredictability of wildfire behavior, uncertainty stems from inaccurate/missing data, limited resource value measures to guide prioritization across fires and resources at risk, and an incomplete scientific understanding of ecological response to fire, of fire behavior response to treatments, and of spatiotemporal dynamics involving disturbance regimes and climate change. This work attempts to systematically align sources of uncertainty with the most appropriate decision support methodologies, in order to facilitate cost-effective, risk-based wildfire planning efforts. We review the state of wildfire risk assessment and management, with a specific focus on uncertainties challenging implementation of integrated risk assessments that consider a suite of human and ecological values. Recent advances in wildfire simulation and geospatial mapping of highly valued resources have enabled robust risk-based analyses to inform planning across a variety of scales, although improvements are needed in fire behavior and ignition occurrence models. A key remaining challenge is a better characterization of non-market resources at risk, both in terms of their response to fire and how society values those resources. Our findings echo earlier literature identifying wildfire effects analysis and value uncertainty as the primary challenges to integrated wildfire risk assessment and wildfire management. We stress the importance of identifying and characterizing uncertainties in order to better quantify and manage them. Leveraging the most appropriate decision support tools can facilitate wildfire risk assessment and ideally improve decision-making.

By U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Tony M. LindbackSpecial to American Forces Press Service
GATESVILLE, Texas, Nov. 12, 2009 The citizens of the "Spur Capital of Texas" here opened their arms and hearts to Army Reserve soldiers affected by the Nov. 5 Fort Hood shooting by hosting them for dinner at a local restaurant Nov. 8.
"It is absolutely wonderful to see all these folks together and to show our appreciation for what they do daily," said Carla Manning, a military affairs representative for the Gatesville Chamber of Commerce. "They sacrifice daily, and they've been through some rough days recently."
The soldiers are assigned to the 1908th and 467th Medical Detachments, reserve units from Kansas and Wisconsin respectively, but include soldiers from other states as well. Members of the two detachments have been preparing at Fort Hood, Texas, for deployments. Together, the units have fewer than 70 members, and of those five were fatally shot and 25 were injured when a lone gunman opened fire Nov. 5 at the Soldier Readiness Processing Center on Fort Hood. Eight of the wounded soldiers remained hospitalized the night of the dinner.
"Most of the time you see loss on the battlefield," said Spc. Thomas Vecera, a mental health specialist with the 467th Medical Detachment. "This incident just took everyone by surprise, but we were still able to pull together and be strong. (The dinner is) exactly what the soldiers needed. Getting out like this is great. The community is great."
Gatesville Chamber of Commerce president Gail Shelton said the Army, is a very important and worthy partner with her community, which has a population of about 15,000 and is located just outside the North Fort Hood gate.
"Everybody has wanted to chip in in this community in any way to help these soldiers in their time of need," Shelton said.
Gatesville hosted the soldiers at the Prima Pasta restaurant, which is owned by Jashar Hoti. "I don't think we could ever do enough for the Soldiers, compared to the sacrifices they make for us and our country," he said.
The meal provided a semblance of home to soldiers away from their loved ones, said Staff Sgt. Nicolle Brossard, a mental health specialist with the 467th Medical Detachment.
"I feel that few people genuinely get to experience (the love that has been given to us) in their lifetimes," Brossard said.
"To have an outpouring from a community that cares for us … in this tragic incident … is just phenomenal. I am so appreciative for their kindness."
(U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Tony M. Lindback is assigned to the 1st Army Division West Public Affairs office.)
