Note: when you select a car and its year when new, the database will go back to the server and update itself for each of these selections. When it does that the main frame screen will go white.

Drum Corp International -

Modern junior drum and bugle corps (“drum corps” for short) are independent youth organizations made up of up to 135 14- to 22-year-olds who spend the summer rehearsing and performing an 11-minute show in which they play a variety of horns or percussion instruments, or spin flags, rifles, sabres, and other implements, all while marching around a football field.

The corp divisions are divided based on the number of members the corps marches. Division III corps are the smallest, with 30 to 70 members; Division II corps have 80 to 135 members, and Division I corps have up to 135 members. Corps with membership sizes between 70 and 80 have the choice as to whether to be Division II or III, and Div. II corps that wish to compete in Division I must go through a special process to move up. Ages tend to vary accordingly within divisions; the youngest Division III members often haven’t reached their 10th birthday, while few Division I corps will march a 14- or 15-year-old. DCI rules state that members must be 21 or younger on June 1 in order to be eligible to march; those that have passed this age limit are said to have “aged out.” - http://www.dci.org/

Energy Information Administration -

The Energy Information Administration (EIA), created by Congress in 1977, is a statistical agency of the U.S. Department of Energy. Their stated mission is to provide policy-independent data, forecasts, and analyses to promote sound policy making, efficient markets, and public understanding regarding energy and its interaction with the economy and the environment.

Since its beginning, EIA has been challenged by the duty to respect Congress' intent to prepare policy neutral reports while fulfilling its role as an integrated office within the Department of Energy. EIA has found that complete transparency in the approach, methodology, and results of each of its products has gained the trust of its clients in the Department, the Congress, and elsewhere in the public. It is now recognized by its customers that EIA neither formulates nor advocates any policy conclusions, even though it often supports the Department with analyses and statistics. To assure this message is explicit, all EIA products carry the following statement:

"This report was prepared by the Energy Information Administration, the independent statistical and analytical agency within the U.S. Department of Energy. The information contained herein should be attributed to the Energy Information Administration and should not be construed as advocating or reflecting any policy of the Department of Energy or of any other organization." - http://www.eia.doe.gov/

Arnold recognized a need for an improved approach to manage arrhythmia patients and applied the innovative use of diagnostic telemedicine technology, software solutions and computer telephony. Arnold started the company with an initial family investment of $25,000 and grew QDS to one of the nation's largest cardiac-event monitoring companies within three years. He sold QDS to Matria Healthcare for $25 million in 1998. In 1997, Arnold started Endeavor Technologies, Inc. to explore enhanced applications for Internet and computer telephony services. With the proceeds from the sale of QDS, Endeavor became WebMD in August 1998. - http://www.howstuffworks.com/

Internet Movie Database -

Everything you need to know about movie trivia.

The Internet Movie Database (IMDb), and an Amazon owned company, is a HUGE collection of movie information where you can preview trailers, too, of up coming movies. The site catalogs every pertinent detail about a movie where possible, from who was in it, to who made it, to trivia about it, to filming locations, and even where you can find reviews and fan sites on the web. They then do their best to present this information in a manner that is easy to search and access. The IMDb started as a hobby project by an international group of movie fans, essentially something by movie fans for movie fans. And despite its incredible growth, it retains that sensibility. The weekly editorial staff meeting is lunch and a movie. All the weekly status reports detail three things: what we did for work, what we did for fun, and what movies we saw. Their staff is spread around the U.S. and Europe. - http://imdb.com/

IP Address Finder -

Every computer connected to the Internet is assigned a unique number known as an Internet Protocol (IP) address. IP addresses consist of four numbers separated by periods (also called a "dotted-quad") and look something like 127.0.0.1. Since these numbers are usually assigned to internet service providers within country-based blocks, an IP address can often be used to identify the country from which a computer is connecting to the Internet. Because the numbers may be tedious to deal with, an IP address may also be assigned to a Host name, which is sometimes easier to remember. Hostnames may be looked up to find IP addresses, and vice-versa. - http://whatismyipaddress.com/?gclid=CLnHkNad5p0CFdx05QodDXCLLg

KickStarter -

Testimony from Web site: “There’s just something magical about Kickstarter... You immediately feel like you’re part of a larger club of art-supporting fanatics.”

Kickstarter is a new way to fund creative projects.

We’re a home for everything from films, games, and music to art, design, and technology. Kickstarter is full of projects, big and small, that are brought to life through the direct support of people like you. Since our launch in 2009, more than 3.8 million people have pledged over $565 million, funding more than 39,000 creative projects. Thousands of creative projects are raising funds on Kickstarter right now.

Each project is independently created.

The filmmakers, musicians, artists, and designers you see on Kickstarter have complete control over and responsibility for their projects. Kickstarter is a platform and a resource; we’re not involved in the development of the projects themselves. Anyone can launch a project on Kickstarter as long as it meets our guidelines. - http://www.kickstarter.com/

I’m not trying to suggest that I am independently wealthy, or that I have taken a vow of poverty. It’s just I value my independence and the credibility it brings me with the people who trust me with their stories. But this work is both dangerous and incredibly expensive and without a steady level of income I could not continue to do it. Because so many misconceptions are out there about nonexistent “big money” deals, I thought it might make sense to clarify how I get the funds I need to do this job that increasingly, it seems, I am the only guy committed to doing.- http://michaelyon-online.com/

    NeighborhoodScout has calculated appreciation rates for each neighborhood in America as a percentage change in the median house value from 1990 to present (e.g., 84%). We also show how each neighborhood's appreciation rate compares to other neighborhoods in the nation, and within the same state (e.g., 9 relative to the nation, 5 relative to California (10 is highest). This makes comparisons of house appreciation rates equally easy for professional investors and individual home buyers. In this example, the neighborhood is one of the highest appreciating in the nation, but is only average in appreciation relative to other neighborhoods in the state of California. - http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/

    NetLingo -

    With more than 79 million people texting regularly, it's no wonder you've seen this cryptic looking code! Commonly used wherever people get online -- including IM'ing, SMS'ing, cell phones, Blackberries, PDAs, Web sites, games, newsgroup postings, in chat rooms, on blogs -- these abbreviations are used by people to communicate with each other. The actual definition of an acronym and text shorthand is here.

    Online enthusiasts, primarily millennials, are learning that shorthand are in fact called acronyms, but this is incorrect. The difference between acronyms and shorthand is that with acronyms, you pronounce the letters as a new word (for example, "FUBAR" is pronounced "foo-bar" and "RADAR" is pronounced "ray-dar"). In contrast, shorthand pronunciations are like an initialism (a set of initials) in which you say the letters one-by-one (for example, "ESP" is an initialism for "extra sensory perception" whereas "esp." is an abbreviation for especially). The online practice is to refer to shorthand, initialisms, or abbreviations as acronyms. - http://www.netlingo.com/emailsh.cfm

    Photo.net -

    From its inception, the site has aimed to be a "photography learning community", in which more experienced photographers, both avid amateurs and professional, provide mutual support, as well as being a resource for those interested in learning about photography.

    Philip Greenspun, a well known writer and MIT instructor on the development of community web sites, founded photo.net in the early 90's as a showcase for his own travel writing and photography. It has since developed into the largest general photography community on the web. According to Alexa, it is the second largest photography site (after dpreview) with over 2.7 million unique visitors per month, and more than 40 million page impressions per month. Philip still helps guide the site as a member of its Board of Directors, although he is no longer involved in day-to-day operations. - http://www.photo.net/

    Rule of Law Radio -

    We at Rule of Law Radio are here to assure you things are not as bad as most would have you believe. Those trapped in the corrupt system for the most part realize something is terribly wrong but feel powerless to do anything to change it and they are mostly correct. It is unreasonable to expect the problem to repair itself. The solution to this particular problem lies outside the system.

    The problem we reference is not rooted in some massive, overriding, international conspiratorial cartel. The problem originates at the lowest and most mundane levels of jurisprudence. Local authority is in such disarray it is unable to protect us from itself, much less some outside intruding corruption.

    The solution is clear, simple, and we all know precisely what it is. We know but avoid the uncomfortable truth at great cost. With freedom comes responsibility. We are after all a Republic. We have known all along that the ultimate authority and the final check to the abuse of power lies firmly in our hands. - http://www.ruleoflawradio.com/

    Survival Sullivan

    "You're Safe Here." - Survival Sullivan

    "I’ve been an active prepper since 2014 – that may not seem like a lot of time but I’m a really fast learner and there are things that I was doing way before that such as staying into shape. Since my dad was in the military and one of my best friends is currently serving his country, I had the opportunity to learn a lot about how fragile our world is and what goes on behind the wars and the mainstream media news that cover them (pun intended). Once I got into prepping, I realized I’ve already been doing this to some degree. Only problem was, I wasn’t doing it to get the best results possible. I didn’t have my priorities right." - SurvivalSullivan

    Wikipedia's Free Encyclopedia -

    No longer can be trusted. Can create history to protect an ideology instead of reporting on it as is. Call it facts to, "Hey just make it up, Charlie?" Great to promote Communism. Death to freedom. It's the death of "what, where, when, why and who," basic trusted newspaper reporting and killed by the New York Times that morphed to say "It's not news until we say it is." One of the Times 29-year old baby editoral members was reported to have called the Betsy Ross flag, the one with a circle on it. Better to turn the damn building into a condo than waste a nation on it.

    Used to be a trusted unique site by Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia that is being written collaboratively by people from around the world contributing articles containing guidance and information about reading, authoring, and participating towards this effort on this site.
