Bristol Blenheim
The Type 135 civil twin design was on Bristol drawing boards by July 1933. In 1934 Lord Rothermere, owner of the Daily Mail, issued a challenge to the British aviation industry to build a high-speed aircraft capable of carrying six passengers and two crew members. At the time German firms were producing a variety of high-speed designs that were breaking records, and Rothermere wanted to recapture the title of fastest civilian aircraft in Europe. Bristol had been working on a suitable design as the Type 135 since July 1933, and further adapted it to produce the Type 142 to meet Rothermere’s requirements. Blenheim cockpit. Note the asymmetry of the instrument console, which indicates the “scooped out” area of the nose in front of the pilot. The ring-and-post gunsight for the forward firing guns is also visible.When it first flew as Britain First at Filton on 12 April 1935, it proved to be faster than any fighter in service with the Royal Air Force at the time. The Air Ministry was obviously interested in such a aircraft, and quickly sent out Specification B.28/35 for prototypes of a bomber version of the Bristol called the Type 142M (M for “military”). The main changes were to move the wing higher on the fuselage from its former low position, to allow room under the spar for a bomb bay. The aircraft was all-metal with twin Bristol Mercury VIII radial engines of 860 hp (640 kW) each. It carried a crew of three — pilot, navigator/bombardier and gunner/wireless operator and …

Mirage F1 Low Flying [ Star Wars Pod Race Like ]
This video shows Mirage F1 flying extremely low between canyon rocks in the Chadian desert. It contains some air refuelling operations, low take offs, and more. Mirage F1 is an old aircraft, far less performing than a Mirage 2000 or a F16, but a solid and rustic aircraft, with a strong undercarriage for dirt runways. Due to it’s age, it is a “low-value” aircraft, thus allowing “leisure missions”. Mirages and Jaguars are operating for long in Chad. They have been deeply involved during 80′s and 90′s in fights for Libyan containment (at least two French aircraft have been shotdown), which have culminated with the bombing of the Libyan airfield of Ouadi-Doum with Jaguar. They are currently providing recon for Chadian government against rebels sustained by Sudan, and have been engaged during past weeks in close air support to French troops threatened by rebels in Chad and Centrafrica. French Air Forces are currently operating in Chad, Ivory Coast, Centrafrica, Liban, Afghanistan, they’re also still in Kosovo, off Somalia’s coasts and other parts of the world…

FMS 1700mm P-51D Mustang R/C Electric Warbird Airplane (PNP)
Well Don’t ask yourself the question anymore , YES “BIGGER IS BETTER”. The ultimate FMS P51 1700mm has arrived. I have to say look at the size of this warbird!. From the moment the sample boxed arrived at Xtreme Hobby the staff were overwhelmed with its size and presence. It’s just an outstanding re-production of the hottest selling FMS plane to date, but this time it has MORE features and of course it’s Bigger, in fact it’s 300mm’s bigger than the previous version, and don’t let that 300mm’s fool you, this plane dwarfs the previous version. Building this kit is easy, it took no longer than 2 hours to complete and used very little glue, in fact it was just a drop here and there, basically the entire kit is screwed together, giving the plane amazing strength and rigidity “also allows the wing for easy removal for loading into a standard size passenger car”. All servos are pre-installed, along with the ESC, Motor, Retracts, NAV lighting system, Radiator Door and Sequencer setup. The wings utilise a new Ribbon Cable system combining both Flap and Aileron Servos, LED Lighting and Retract into a simple single ribbon cable extruding from each wing, this make wiring easy and clean, compared to the usual Birds nest of wires in such a detailed aircraft. The plane performs as good in the air as it looks on the ground. 2 clicks of trim is all it took to set this bird on a true straight and level path. In fact the YouTube video below features the very first maiden take-off, you can …

Your Questions About Army Airplanes Games
Charles asks…
we think we saw a UFO?
You know the board game trouble? Well picture the middle piece of it: http://images.buzzillions.com/images_products/07/92/hasbro_big_trouble_game_reviews_443493_300.jpg
Me & some random people in a shopping center parking lot saw something like that up in the sky during some t-showers. It had flashing lights and flew around in a V shape. It was pretty low. It wasn’t high high in the sky like airplanes. I ran to the local office supply store with some other people around me in the parking lot and Googled the local airport, but they said there were no planes in the sky at that time. I live nowhere near an army or military base. The nearest military base is 7 states away. Some woman called the police and the police saw it the 2nd time it came back and was white faced. He had no clue. I never thought aliens existed, but now I don’t know. There was a story about it on our news.
The first thing I said was, “Hell that’s not a plane, is it?” and then some woman and her son who were about to get in there car said a few things and said, “Hey lady Office Depot is right by. Search the airport site!” Just now I googled for the nearest military base from my city and it is 5 states away.

You saw a UFO…
I see thngs I can’t identify all the time, this doesn’t mean they are piloted by aliens…
A common mistake is to assume that just because we can’t identify something right away we should jump to some (pretty unlikely) conclusion.
Interestingly enough, most of these things get explained (quite mundanely) after enough folks search for the source.

Betty asks…
What are my chances of becoming a USAF Fighter Pilot?
I am currently 14 years old, a Civil Air Patrol Cadet, and play football, basketball, am a very good runner and I am very fit. Also my GPA is 3.86. I have 20/20 vision (or better) and am Pre-Junior registered at the USAF Academy already. I really want to be a fighter pilot, I’ve wanted to since I was 5 and have a good mindset. I recently had a friend that went into the US Army and I was kind of sad. I now really want to help out soldiers and marines on the ground, and the best way for me to do that is to fly a fighter jet. I have flown a CAP Cessna 172 before and will start working towards a pilot license when I’m 15 so I can get my private pilot license when I’m 16 (Through CAP). I am a great formation flier (in FSX lol) and have flown RC airplanes since I was 7. I can never get enough of aviation. Even in gym baseball, a pair of F-15′s flew over and I was looking at them the instant they entered my vision. The people at my school were to lame to look and were telling me to get my head in the game lol. I am pretty good at almost all sports, I try really hard to do my best and have great reflexes. A week ago I was going 30mph on my bike with my friend (I love speed) and then everything went into slow motion as a car lost its steering and was coming right at us. My friend jump off his bike and his bike was ran over but I steered away from the car in the nick of time, It all occurred so slow. Thank god were were both uninjured. And in gym soccer, every time someone scores they become goalie but no one scored so I ended up being goalie the whole time.
So from a Military pilot or an experts perspective, what are my chances? Do I have what it takes to fly a Multi-Million Dollar fighter jet?
latitude answers:
Sounds likes you have the makings to have “the rifgt stuff”. I was in love with flying long before reality had set in. The key is to max out your skills and never doubt what you want to do. For military flight school openers you must be a 4-year college graduate, graduate from Officer Candidate School (OCS) or some other officer entry program; i.e. AFROTC or NROTC, USAFA, USNA, USMA. You must be in nearly perfect health with at least 20/20 vision and no color-blind issues, at least 5’6″ tall and no visible tattoos. Then you apply for flight school, graduate at or near the top of your class and the service must have an available slot in the jet program. So far, so good. Then you must learn to fly the particular aircraft that you are assigned, then learn to fly combat missions, day and night, good weather or bad, and then get the bird back to base (if you do all of this in the Navy you return to the most hazardous part of the mission – landing on the aircraft carrier). You can plan on roughly 6 years between the start of college and completing the program. Then you must complete your obligated length of service in the military. If it were easy, anybody could do it. Good luck, partner!
Sharon asks…
i have an idea for great street racing game?
ok its an open world and mission gameplay at sametime its about an orginized illegal street racing gang lead by a former russain mod leader deported to chicago (where game takes place) from russia secretly who is an expert street racer being hunted down by chicago fbi and chicago police department, opening cut scene shows a honorably dicharged us army green beret seargent first class(main character) get of an airplane from fort brag getting into a taxi, being taking to his freinds custom classic auto shop where main character asks if he got his 1974 datson 240zx built (before he gets his car you can totaly customize its exterior and interior also upgrade all performance) now he drives home, then his freind tells you about alot of illegal street racing going on and ask if him and the main character wants to join some races,after you win some races it goes to a cutscene where it shows main character in home then a knock at the door he gets up and answers it, its the fbi crime and narcotics division special agents,in fbi office being breifed that you and your freind need to go undercover as racers and work your way up through the ranks to arrest the leader. missions are you do tasks and missions for the fbi and police also you take part in races and side missions along with other types of races and missions, only police detectives know your undercover all patrol police do not, when not racing or doing misions you can drive through out the large open map of chicago, for buying a car there will be differnt car delerships for different car types like (exotics,classic and modern muscle cars,and tuners) then to customize it take it to your freinds auto shop to customize it, types of cars 68 mustang fastback,70 chevelle, 72 camaro,69 charger, 70 challanger 2009 challanger, 2009 charger,2009 mustang gt, 66 gto, 2006 gto, 2008 dodge magnum srt8, also nissan 370z, 280zx, plenty of other tuners and exotics, the game would have exellent story line, also have a inside the cockpit veiw so its like yoour really driving, also option the turn car into an automatic, or 4-5-6manual trans,game should also be very very relastic by cutscenes,driving, character voices, graphics
it should be devolped by rockstar and creators of need for speed tell me what you think
open world gameplay should be like test drive unlimited but alot better
by realistic i mean by midnight club la gameplay realistic then need for speed undercover cutscene realistic
plot is similar to the game driv3r
it would be an existing game
latitude answers:
Rockstar would not make this game because it would hurt their Midnight Club sales if the game would be really good.
EA might make a game like this, but it would carry the Need for Speed name.
It won’t be realistic. Realism and street racing doesn’t mix, which is why there hasn’t ever been a realistic street racing game made yet. Plus, neither Rockstar or EA specialize in realism. Maybe you could get the cockpit of each car, but the other stuff is sounding like Gran Turismo type features and PD would never make a game like this.
Its a nice idea, but is likely to carry a known name instead of being a different game entirely. Changing trannies on the car wouldn’t be necessary. The user would accept a choice of manual or automatic in the game settings. And most developers wouldn’t bother taking the time to getting the data for the cockpit of all those cars. You’re asking for development time that’s required for PS3 exclusives and I dunno if developers will want to make a street racing game for the PS3 that’s only an exclusive.
EDIT: Okay, I get your idea of realism now. Try pitching it to some developers. I mean, I seriously like the idea and that kind of story. I just dunno if the big name developers and publishers will make it a new game entirely, versus, making that the plot for the next Midnight Club or Need for Speed.

Your Questions About Scream Out Loud Live It Up
Maria asks…
Does anybody out there in the “abyss” like this poem I wrote 17 months ago?
For Now… (NOTHING IS EVER ENOUGH)
For Now
For now
I’ll just hold him
Feel my warmth enfold around him
Not think about what I know has to be
It‘s not that I don’t love him
It‘s that something comes above him
And that something is crying out to me
I feel it swimming in me
This pent up creativity
Screaming so loud to be heard
If I remain in this trance
Just to stay in this romance
I won’t be allowed to speak one word
I’ve always been haunted by
Things I’ve always wanted I
Know that the price is high
But It can’t be any other way
You can’t put me in a box
Hold me down with chains and locks
Then sit back and watch
While I suffocate
The madness that breathes in me
Could come out so easily
My struggle is just to exist
Please keep me in your heart
When you know that I might fall apart
I never asked for any of this
It just is what is
I don’t have any choice
I must let them hear my voice
This goes beyond you and I
I wanted you to come with me
Feel the magic and be set free
But you choose to shrivel up and die
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
The drive and the need
Have planted their seed
They need to be freed
Need to be believed
I never wanted normal things
I cringe when I hear a child screaming
Want to hop back in my bed
Continue dreaming
The only man who will want to be with me
Is one who is able to see
The wizard has the curtain closed
It‘s not what I would have chose
To be so aware of the absurdity
Maybe there is no hope for me
when I know what I can’t be
I can’t be normative
Can only try to live
In this strange world I’ll never understand
And way down deep inside
In that place I try to hide
I’ll pray to a God that has never heard me
Pray for a love to come and save me
Knowing all the time
I’m just wasting my time
I’m just losing my mind
Cause no one’s gonna care that much
Or dare love one so out of touch
With reality
I’ll just be lonely
I’ll just be lonely
I’ll just be lonely
You’re all lost in your drama
You’ve put on all your Armour
While I lay myself naked before you
I feel death’s constant presence
So I am left defenseless
This is just something I am forced to do
Knowing the price for me
You’ll whisper “Oh she’s crazy”
and go on with your little lives
Or else you’ll put me down
wish I was not around
To force you to open up your eyes
Can I get just one of you to understand
I’m losing the love of my life
I can’t close the veil
On everything I feel
I can’t be a mother wife
I can barely breathe most of the time
And my smile
is not really mine
If I smile enough
will you give me the love
That might keep me sane
In this torturous game
Where nothing is ever enough?

***On November 4, 2008 CAL BABY made the decision that ALICIA DOLL had been ambivalent about making. He broke her heart in a callous act of unintentional, drunken rage, & then broke up with her the next day..
I just composed this 2 minutes ago: He was not “the love of my life” (by the way). He just had me “whipped” for nearly 8 lost years of my life…
It wasn’t all bad
because very little is
I still find joy when I look back
to when I longed for his kiss
Before I had to always say
just about every single day
has it really come to this?
And what he did to me the last 2 years
still taints all the good memories
that I have of us
I’m sorry but it does
Makes me wish the life I had with him
never happened-never was…

Is it illegal to kick someone out of your house?
K..heres whats goin on.
I live with my fiance, her rents moved in..with the rents came the little sister. So..I put my name, fiance, and her rents names on the lease. So if they decided to do anything with the house…or help with rent..(WHICH THEY DO..which just goes to show that rents…in law…can be very cool! GET MARRIED HAVE KIDS FOLLOW GOD…end rant..lol sorry..) anyway…The little sis is a stuck up …little bitch…I hate to put it that way..but…that just how it is. I generally get along with her. Until she was enrolled in the local high school…found this equally self- centered and arrogant boy friend…..
..k let me also give you my work schedual. I make chess boards…during the week I make chess boards and am in college. So during the week Im at home…ALOT. I also have another job that I work during the week ends..so..maybe Im home…24 hours on the week ends. During the week, I have set my schedule up so that I can sleep in till bout…..10 am. then school for about 6 hours…then chess boards…
k. The lil sis wakes up at 4 AM! just to do her hair…shower ..whatever… thats fine..cause it doesnt wake me up…but..lately..she has been letting her BF in the house…..AT 4 A…FRAKIN M (4 all those BSG fans) ..I cant stand this shit. I stay up late..working to make extra cash..and Im waken up by shouting…screaming and ..LOUD SHIT THAT SHOULDING BE HAPPENING AT 4 AM!.
He is 17..a minor..so I cant lay my hands on his sorry ass and chuck him out the door. Is it legal to tell him to leave..and if he refuses ..can I REMOVE him<?
latitude answers:
Yes, legally, anytime you ask him to leave your home, and he refuses, he’s a trespasser. You can’t physically throw him out the door, but you can call the police and ask that he be removed.
The sister doesn’t get a say, because she’s a minor. If her parents or your fiance want him to stay, though, you most likely won’t be able to have him removed.
Your best bet is to have a family meeting. Everybody should get an input as to when they’d like it quiet, and when visitors are welcome. Then come to an agreement everybody can live with.
If you can’t, or no one ends up keeping up their end of the bargain, you and your fiance will probably have to find your own place.
Mary asks…
Do you have any tips for trying out to be a death metal vocalist?
I have a tryout to be a death metal vocalist coming up and I’m looking for some tips. I’ve been in bands before, so I’m not completely new to this. Usually, I play bass though. Anway, I usually practice in the car (I live in a dorm, so it‘s the only option.) and record myself on a taperecoder to play it back later. I’ve never screamed into a mic before. Should I tryout with or without a mic? How loud should metal vocals be without a mic. I can’t tell if I’m loud enough.
Oh yeah, my vocals are DevilDriver with maybe a bit of Arch Enemy, just higher. (my voice won’t stay that low)
Any other tips would be appreciated too.
latitude answers:
Yeah just ease up off the mic so you don’t get feed back, and try to sing from the back of your throat not your diaphragm. Its hard to explain but you want to get more of a raspy screech than a guttural sound.
And if all else fails, sing loud and have confidence. If you act like you know what your doing other people will think so too!
Good Luck.
Donna asks…
My family is so loud at night and in the mornings. How can I get some sleep?
At my moms house my brother (who’s room is right next to mine) starts playing guitar when I go up to bed. It doesn’t matter if I bang on the wall or ask him to stop, he doesn’t care. My mom doesn’t either because it doesn’t affect her.
In the mornings, my parents get up early and make a lot of noise while cooking, doing dishes and such. My step dad will talk on his speaker phone at a very high volume. If that doesn’t wake me up, my brother does with his guitar.
I stay at my dads on the weekend, and I have to listen to my dad and 10 year old brother obnoxiously loud laugh and scream at xbox live. When I ask them to keep it down they tell me to chill out because it‘s like 11 and the weekend.
I can’t sleep with that kind of noise, so listening to music won’t help. I’m getting so stressed, I’m only 15, have a job and am taking college level classes so I already had to stay up later than I want to get work done. It stresses me out so much to the point I just start bawling because I’m so tired and frustrated. I get on average no more than 5 hours of sleep.
How can I get some decent sleep?
I’m 15. I don’t have that option..
latitude answers:
Oh god I really thought I was the only one!! I have this exact same problem with my family, so noisy all of the time, my brother slams his bedroom door all day and has an electric guitar, which he refuses to turn the amp down, my dad has a very loud voice, it really sounds like he is shouting all the time, and my little sister screams all day! Wax earplugs are really good, they don’t harm your ears or anything but they block out sound sooo much better than foam, earplugs in general are a must for noisy families.
I was going to recommend music but you said that didn’t help :/ Or if you wanted you could try giving them a taste of their own medicine 
(i.e. Being very noisy when they want to sleep)
I’m sorry I’m not much help but I really do recommend the earplugs, I know this might seem like a dopey suggestion but have you tried focusing on something else? I got so annoyed by the noise my family made I almost start listening out for it which meant I got more annoyed by every little noise even more! Try thinking of something else to help you relax that can focus on until you fall asleep. Good luck!

Ways to get kicked out of Wal-Mart.?

1. Take someone’s shopping cart and switch the items with stuff from the person next to them’s cart

Your Questions About Plastic Germany
James asks…
Opinions on Banning plastic bags.?
My region in Maryland is thinking about banning plastic bags. I believe that its a great thing to do. I come from germany where when we grocery shop we use boxes that grocery items came in, and we bring our own collapsable re-usable boxes. What are your opinions? Should we keep using non-biodegradable bags thats killing our environment, or start using paper or recycled material?
Of course using paper bags arent great either but they are biodegradable and easily recycled to make more. As far as boxes- in germany you dont bring your own boxes the grocery stores have them available for your use after emptying them.
I more or less meant killing wildlife not so much the whole environment.
latitude answers:
Banning them is a great idea, and quite justified. We all pay the consequences of discarded bags in the water, landfills, etc. It’s not very hard for someone to bring their own bag for their groceries.
And Randal- You’re very wrong, the vast majority of people do not reuse their bags, they simply throw them away.

What’s quart-size, clear plastic, zip-top bag for? Must all of my carry-on luggage be put in it? Where can I buy these kind of bag? Will the customs offer it?
latitude answers:
To find out what you can take as carry on you should look on your airline’s website. Different airlines have different rules for carry on including number of pieces, weight, size. Most international flights have an allowance of one piece plus a laptop bag or purse or similar but only your airline site can give the definitive answer.
The purpose of the quart size bag is for you to place any liquid or gels you carry as hand luggage into the bag and have it screened separately. If you look at the following site you can fully get to grips with what this is about.
One part of these rules is that any liquids and gels must be in containers not bigger than 3.4oz. If your prescribed medication is liquid or gel and comes in sizes larger than 3.4oz you can still carry it onboard but you must declare it to the security staff and if possible you should take a letter from your doctor outlining your medication and its necessity.

Robert asks…
How are Persian/Iranian men viewed in their own community in Germany?
Here is the profile: a 33 y old Persian man living in Germany for 10 y with no college degree, no career, no girlfriend. He says about Persian girls “they do their noses (plastic surgery) so their nose will be too small to f*$#”. It might have been just silly subjective remark but can it have a more general term used by Persian men towards Persian girls? He keeps looking pictures of beautiful Persian girls with nostalgia in his eyes but he says their Persian girl mind is sick.
My observation is: he is too poor to get a persian girl and he is frustrated about it. What is your opinion about him?
What Persian girls (who live abroad) value in Persian men?
No Im not Persian man, nor Persian woman. Just an outsider looking into Persian community and trying to understand the values of Persian women and what they value in Persian men
latitude answers:
I haven’t understand your question .Are you a Persian man ? I think they value their beautiful noses.
Michael asks…
Can I bring contact lenses in my carry-on when I fly? (Going to Germany tomorrow)?
I wear contact lenses and am nearly blind without them- this type is thrown out and replaced every two weeks (the lenses themselves.) Since I’ll be gone for a month, I’m bringing extra lenses in their original packaging. I have a flight through an airport on my way to Germany that is notorious for losing luggage, so I would like to keep my contacts with me in the plastic bag also used to hold the small amounts of liquids allowed in carry-ons. Can I do that? The TSA website says nothing about contacts. I really, really don’t want to have to throw them out in security, as they’re quite expensive.
I am also nervous about the new, more invasive patdown procedures. Because of a history of abuse and physical bullying, I hate to let any person that I don’t know touch me, especially invasively and in sensitive areas, which I understand the procedures require. I need to take this flight and have things go smoothly, because this trip (study abroad) is required for me to graduate with a major in German.
Please help!
I also have permanent orthodontia work (metal spacers between some teeth, and a wire running behind my bottom teeth,) and think that that will likely set off metal detectors/the new scanner, thus forcing a patdown. In that case, what should I do- warn the agents ahead of time that that’s why I’ll probably set it off, let them see the metal? Do small implants like that in the mouth even raise alarms?
latitude answers:
TSA has seen thousands of passengers who use contacts, what you plan its not a problem.
The pat down is an alternative to the full body scanner. If you go through the scanner then no pat-down unless the scanner finds something suspect.

Your Questions About Built Plastic Bottles
Jenny asks…
What’s your opinion re the safety issue when refilling plastic water bottles?
Most people I know have been told that the plastic used in water bottles contains a potentially carcinogenic element and therefore the bottles are safe for one-time use only. Extensive research has convinced me the only safety issue is not cleaning the bottles out properly, i.e. the build-up of bacteria!
Should we not be more concerned with the manufacture and disposal of all these bottles???
latitude answers:
I must confess, I do worry about most things that I eat and drink. So when this scare went round, I did take it seriously.
One way that I’ve got round it, is to actually buy one of the more expensive, glass bottles. They don’t tend to have all those stupid ridges in them, so I assume harbour less bacteria.
Ok, so it’s a bit heavy to lug around with you in your bag, but mine sits at my desk at work, and I just re-fill it from that water filter machine.
No-one has really mentioned any harmful effects from drinking from glass. Hell, if there are any, we’ll all be in trouble!
Give it a try. It’s better for the environment too. I’ve been using mine for about a month now. No need to replace it.
Linda asks…
I need ideas!! Need to build a life size structure out of plastic bottles!?
Well the structure can be anything. The only rules are that they have to be made 95% of plastic bottles and have to be life size.
Thanks!
latitude answers:
What sort of structure? Do you mean a house, model ship, human figure or what? It doesn’t cost you to be a bit more specific. One way of making structures of any sort is to thread the bottles onto bamboo canes and tie them at the corners to make square or trapezoidal shapes.- if you fill the bottles with gravel they will be pretty stable. Or you could fill the bottles with different coloured water and shine light through them. Or you can glue the bottles to each other at weird angles and paint them to make something Dr Who would be proud of. Use a glue gun and plastic melting glue which sets quickly. And use your imagination.
Sandra asks…
Greenhouse dome out of plastic bottles?
How would I go about building this, anyone have any similar experiences, or if you could give me tips on approaching the project. Is it ok to build this on top of a school roof? Would it need a stable foundation (cement)?
Wow, I love everyone’s suggestions, but I think I may make this a community project for an elementary school instead…thank you everyone!!!!
By the way if you live in Toronto, and are interested in helping me build this at elementary schools…please contact me, thanks:)

Susan asks…
White creamy stuff building up on a plastic bottle?
On the bottom part of my vitamin water plastic bottle theres this swirl of white stuff building up. I also noticed that this was quite common with the strawberry and kiwi flavored vitamin waters. I have also seen this is gatorades. Im thinking that its the plastic part of the bottle thats melted onto the drink, which would cause serious health problems.
Its an unopened drink
latitude answers:
My guess is mold. I have a few bottles I collect and if I don’t wash them out the same thing happens. The next thing might be concentrate. Whatever it is I would not drink it.
Mandy asks…
What is the most creative way to recycle plastic bottles?
SAN FRANCISCO, California (CNN) — Imagine collecting thousands of empty plastic bottles, lashing them together to make a boat and sailing the thing from California to Australia, a journey of 11,000 miles through treacherous seas.
You’d have to be crazy, or trying to make a point. David de Rothschild is trying to make a point.
De Rothschild hopes his one-of-a-kind vessel, now being built on a San Francisco pier, will boost recycling of plastic bottles, which he says are a symbol of global waste. Except for the masts, which are metal, everything on the 60-foot catamaran is made from recycled plastic.
http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/03/09/plastic.bottle.boat/index.html?iref=mpstoryview
latitude answers:
In our house we have used plastic bottles to make boat’s (though maybe not quite as grand as De Rothschild’s) musical instruments, rockets (what a great day out we had in space) and mobiles! The school has also been building a greenhouse as part of the ECO club.
We also like to think we can build ANYTHING out of rubbish in our house and paper mac-he is a favourite.
