Better late than never! I read you had a good day and just want to wish you many many more like that. Patrice

.... and they say its a small World ..... it is

Whoa...I'm thinking gingerbread style house...you know...something to sit on the counter or centerpiece of the table...not actually BE the table. Christ...that's huge...but I bet at that scale, you can do some nice candy detail work. You know...I'm seeing it now...Christmas Vacation anyone???? Looks awfully similar to the Griswald's home. Now I know why you did it that size...so the little green army men you plan on placing around it and diving through the windows will be to scale. Either way...kick ass.

Kim, I didn't post this recently...its a floater I posted in August.

Tina, check out this link: http://www.gag.org/pegs/index.php Graphic Artists Guild handbook -- all you ever want to know about your copyrights. Available also on Amazon - used editions for as little as $4 or so....

Thanks. I once saw a show called Celebrity Fit Club and they did just that, well sort of. At a point in the show they all had to strap on a backpack with the amount of weight they lost and run a mile (or 2 I cannot remember). Their reactions after the run were incredible. I can definately tell that my knees are much happier.

Great! Thanks Alan.

A great example of "right place, right time"! Scott

I also started SU about a year ago and first didn't think about earning/making money with it. Yet I got some jobs and did make some money and now I'm thinking of gradually becoming independent from my present (dull, boring and tiring) full time job at the municipality of my home town and working (among others) with SU to make a living. Funny at first... There is also this SketchUp viewer that also lacks a lot of functionalities therefore it cannot really be a good tool for now.

and I bet the code department is a slight easier too

Yeah, I also saw it! (posted in the "membership growing... topic!) You're fast Tom!

Well, we can start counting down: 999

Coen, I finally found out the problem - the cookies from PayPal were banned (?) on my Firefox. Now everything looks fine.

I thought Harrington had lost it when he did not opt for a driver on the last hole and Garcia did. I thought it might even go to sudden death. Very enjoyable to watch. If the missus was watching and she hates golf Mike

Edson, So sorry to hear you were indeed so closely involved with this awful event. Unbelievable sudden sadness...? The initial news report here indicated hydroplaning was the culprit. The new runway wasn't sawcut to limit this (as many around the world aren't), and it was 700' shorter than the 7,000' considered minimum for the aircraft type (as many around the world are also). They showed (on our PBS) evidence the pilot tried to steering the plane into the grass without success (I understand many airports provide concrete crash bunkers to slow the plane quickly and contain the damage...supposedly saving the passengers as well). Unfortunately we won't hear anymore about this unless there is more awful news, so please keep us posted on what develops if you can. My best, Tom.

So motivational, so much energy. thanks John Alan

Holy crap. Shocked There are so many things that could've gone wrong with that setup- that guy must have a deathwish. I wonder what the G's actually were? Jackson

great job Jackson... your sleuth is unbeatable! Krisidious

Ross Mmmm. Now Iwonder if my wife would be happy trying that out in the lounge. Its a bit wet over here at present. I'm sure I read an article in Fine Woodworking years ago about these 'races'. Its sounds like a great day out. cheers Alan.

Ah Juan .... nothing perfect but its close Bryan, be sure to look me up when over the neck of the woods. Mike
