WOODS HOLE – Model boat builders have a saying. The hobby takes the patience of a saint, the hands of a surgeon, the eye of an eagle and the ability to swear like a sailor.

That’s according to Alan Lunn of Sippewissett, a boat builder who also builds models.

Lunn, 86, said historical detail is a critical part of model boatbuilding. Model builders like Lunn, who builds from scratch, use plans from the actual boat but then they have to do further research on details. Getting those details right is a point of pride.

“This model building has taken me down some strange streets looking for details,” Lunn said.

Lunn is among the dozens of model ship

Every story has a beginning; it’s the middle and the end that are in question. Well, the middle and end of this story have already been written on many pages, in many places but it’s the beginning—the man and the car—that make this story so interesting.

Tom McMullen was discharged from the U.S. Navy, he served aboard a submarine, and now it was time to get on with life. The McMullen roadster that is iconic in stature is nothing more than a ’32 Ford highboy roadster that any number of hot rodders over the years has built—but why this roadster? Why is this the roadster that so many rodders look to as The One; the one that gave birth to so many dreams? A question that has as many answers as there are hot rodders. And knowing that, here is just one of many stories.

This roadster appeared everywhere from TV to the movies and record album jackets, like Shut Down, a compilation of great hot rod music; Drag Beat, more off-beat hot rod music; and Competition Coupe (yep, two roadsters on the cover, oh well) by the Astronauts. It was on the cover (Hot Rod and Popular Hot Rodding back in the day, or in modern times on STREET RODDER) and was featured in between the covers of many titles. It also appeared as part of the STREET RODDER magazine cover logo for years. It’s been reported that the car appeared in the Life of Riley television series and later

The Queens rapper spoke with Microphone Check about Partition, assimilation and how the Patriot Act is used. We also talked about what success does to — and sometimes for — your family:

The year is 2050. The oceans have risen, populations are panicking, the simmering climate changes the tropics to deserts, and key resources are nearly depleted. Major governments are calling for a concerted rescue effort whose magnitude will dwarf World War II. How will we deal with these huge problems?

With the advent of Internet forums, wikis, research groups, and blogospheres, we have embraced much broader forms of problem solving and innovation. For scientists, the internet is now a communal research group. This learning and group communication mode is becoming known as “collective intelligence” and “crowd-sourced innovation.” In its most general form, it is determining the consensus of many minds to find a response to a complex challenge. For example, collective intelligence could be used to find solutions for many problems engendered by climate change.

Dealing with Climate Change

The MIT Center for Collective Intelligence has been shepherding the development of an online forum called the Climate Collaboratorium. It will be a constantly evolving computer model of the Earth’s atmosphere and human systems with inputs from online scientific chat rooms. All the variables and factors that can be imagined relating to climate, the environment, interactions with human beings, and ecology are included in the evolving model.

Professor Thomas W. Malone, the center’s founding director and MIT Professor of Management, compares the Collaboratorium to the Manhattan Project, which developed the atomic bomb during World War II. “The difference between the Climate Collaboratorium and

Ever wondered what your neighborhood looks like from the sky? Or maybe you’re curious how airplanes even work.

You might even dream about being a pilot.

If you’re shaking you’re head “yes” and are between the ages of 8 and 17, then there are some EAA member volunteer pilots who would love to take you on a free Young Eagles flight.

That’s right – a free flight!

This is your big chance and it will happen on April 18th at the Mesquite Airport from 8 – 11 a.m. Flights, provided on a first come-first served basis are limited, so get there early with a parent or guardian, (and don’t forget your camera).

Planes like this one will be used for children to fly (with assistance) on Saturday, April 18. Submitted photo.

So what’s a Young Eagles Flight like?
According to their web site:

On the ground: Your pilot explains what will happen during the flight. This might include talking about the airplane, reviewing an aeronautical chart (or map), identifying reference points during the flight, completing a careful “walk around” preflight inspection of the airplane, and identifying the parts that control the airplane.

Just before take-off: Your pilot helps you buckle your seat belt and describes the interior of the airplane, including the instrument panel.

In the air: You have a whole new view of the earth and sky. And, if you want, your pilot may let you take the controls! The flight lasts between 15 and 20 minutes, but if
