French Lake Classic Auto Junk Yard Tour by The Mod Zoo & Mnpctech.com
The Mod Zoo Munkys join Bill Owen from Mnpctech in exploring one of the best Classic Auto salvage & Junk Yards in the United States. French Lake Auto Parts, Inc. is located 60 miles west of Minneapolis and St. Paul in French Lake, Minnesota. We have over 100 acres of cars and trucks ranging from 1900 to present and in all makes in models. Specializing in older vehicles. FLAP, Inc. a world leader in the automotive recycling industry has been family owned since 1956. Specializing in classic auto and truck parts from the 1920 to the present.
Last Friday, I went to one of my top five favorite places: French Lake Auto Parts (FLAP) in Annandale, Minn. This 100-acre salvage yard always has a great selection of early iron that ranges in the thousands of cars, and the inventory is continually changing. Owners Floyd and Skip Nolan keep unearthing new stashes of vintage tin, so the rotating inventory requires frequent visits. Throw in the yard’s popularity and it also means that if you find a 1957 Chevy or 1941 Ford in the yard like your vehicle back home, be sure to get all the parts you need while you’re there, because the car may be gone by your next visit.
My visit was extremely successful. I found some parts for my 1981 Impala coupe that I had been searching for over the past several years and some 1962 Cadillac parts. Unfortunately, all of the 1955 Cadillacs I had previously picked parts off of were gone, but Skip assured me there’s a huge cache of mostly complete cars dating from as far back as the 1930s and up to the 1960s on its way to French Lake. I’ve learned my lesson and will be headed back very soon to check out the fresh vintage metal in hopes of finding a “new” ’55 Cadillac.
The photos below show some of the cars present during my visit on May 10, 2013. There are some shots of cars in the main part of the yard that are getting as long in the tooth as a 1950 Buick grille (thankfully), as well as some of the cars (mostly Mopars and postwar Packards) that were part of a recent 250-car acquisition of project vehicles and a few parts vehicles.

The four fundamental components of any road test are:
1) space management;
2) speed management;
3) observation;
4) communication.
Regardless of class and regardless of location in the world, these four fundamental components must be in place for your to pass your road test.
1) SPACE MANAGEMENT
You must get near other road users or fixed objects for the duration of your road test. You must maintain a 2-3 second following distance in a passenger vehicle and you must maintain a 5 second following distance in larger vehicles. And you must have one lane of traffic between you and other pedestrians before turning.
See: How to Determine Following Distance
See: How Much Space Between Your Vehicle & Pedestrians When Turning
2) SPEED MANAGEMENT
1) posted speed limit;
2) flow of traffic;
3) capability of the vehicle.
which ever is less is the speed that you travel along the roadway.
See: Posted Speed Limits | Pass a Road Test SMART
3) OBSERVATION
For the purposes of a road test you must be continually scanning. You look at all intersections--left, centre, right--and railway crossing. Or any other place along the roadway where you could intersect and conflict with other road users. Observing includes, shoulder checking, 360° scans and looking out the back window when reversing.
Looking at other traffic and traffic patterns along the roadway will allow you to predict what other road users are doing and may do. it allows you to maintain good defensive posturing.
4) COMMUNICATION
You must communicate to other road users your intentions as you drive:
• lights;
• horn;
• eye contact;
• appropriate hand gestures;
• position of the vehicle on the roadway.
All these communicate to other road users your intentions and intended actions.
5) PRACTICE, PRACTICE & THEN PRACTICE SOME MORE
Driving is like music, martial arts, or writing. Any skill requires practice. And if you want to improve, you must have an excellent grasp of the fundamentals.
See: What are the Speed Limits in Road Test
See: How to Learn to Drive a Car & Slow-Speed Maneuvers
6) TECHNOLOGY
You CANNOT use a backup camera or backup sensors to reverse for the purposes of your road test. And you definitely cannot use the automated parallel parking feature.
7) DRIVING EXAMINERS
Driving is subjective; authorities move to convince you that it is not.
If you do not get enough seat time prior to your driving test, your fundamentals of driving are unlikely to be at an acceptable level to pass a road test. Driving examiners and other authorities are looking for a level of competency.
If you are unsuccessful on your road test, a driving examiner will--or you will interpret--often tell you that you failed because of one reason eg. your turns were too slow or you failed to scan intersections. That one thing most often, is not the only reason that you failed your road test. You often failed because you overall driving ability was substandard.
And every driving examiner has his/her quirks - something that really bugs them. A driving examiner here in Vernon, BC assigns demerits for wondering in the lane.
8) MOCK ROAD TEST
If you are not taking driving lessons, 7-10 days prior to your road test, hire a local driving school to do a mock road test. A driving examiner will be able to identify the gaps in your abilities, skills and knowledge for the purposes of a road test.

Good luck on your road test!

BNSF Railway Train Derailment and Subsequent Train Collision
To read the full report follow the link below:
Casselton, North Dakota
December 30, 2013
DCA14MR004
The video comes from the forward-facing on-board image recorders from the two trains involved in the accident. Video from the Grain Train lead locomotive 6990 was downloaded from the undamaged GE Lococam on-board image recorder. Parametric data from the Grain Train lead locomotive 6990 was downloaded from the undamaged event recorder. Video from the Crude Oil Train lead locomotive 4934 was obtained from data transmitted wirelessly when the emergency brakes were applied, and parametric data was downloaded from the trailing distributed power unit locomotive 6684.
The video begins at 14:08:37 Central Standard Time (CST) with the view from the front of the Grain Train as it travels westbound on main track 1. The text “Grain Train #6990” and the speed of the train are displayed at the bottom center of the screen. The westbound direction of travel is briefly indicated by a text annotation. The train passes a track switch and a vehicle belonging to a signal maintainer at 14:09:06; the vehicle is labeled by a text annotation for about 10 seconds as the train approaches the vehicle. The front end of the crude oil train begins to be visible on the adjacent track to the left at about 14:09:41, and it is labeled with a text annotation. The derailment of the Grain Train occurs at 14:09:57, after which time a digital counter is shown on the right in the image, indicating the time in seconds since the derailment. A text annotation indicates that the emergency brakes on the Grain Train were applied at 14:10:13, uncommanded by the train crew. At 14:10:33, the lead locomotive of the Crude Oil Train passes the lead locomotive of the Grain Train.
At 14:11:02, the video switches to the view from the front of the Crude Oil Train as it travels eastbound on main track 2. The text “Crude Oil Train #4934” and the speed of the train are displayed at the bottom center of the screen. The eastbound direction of travel is briefly indicated by a text annotation. A text annotation indicates an engineer-induced emergency brake application on the Crude Oil Train occurred at 14:11:03. A
text annotation also points out the 45th car in the Grain Train, which is fouling main track 2. The Crude Oil Train strikes the 45th car in the Grain Train at 14:11:12, leading to derailment of the Crude Oil Train, which departs main track 2 to the right and apparently comes to rest once impacting the built-up ballast supporting a parallel set of railroad tracks.
The video includes an audio overlay of radio traffic broadcast over radio channel 70, with communications from the Grain Train, the Crude Oil Train, the dispatcher and the signal maintainer passed by the Grain Train at 14:09:06. The audio begins with a call from the signal maintainer to the crew of the Grain Train at 14:10:31, and ends at 14:11:59 after the crew of the Crude Oil Train have reported the derailment and subsequent fire to the dispatcher.

Trailer park millionaires
Some of the richest people in the US, including billionaires Warren Buffett and Sam Zell, have made millions from trailer parks at the expense of the country's poorest people. Seeing their success, ordinary people from across the country are now trying to follow in their footsteps and become trailer park millionaires. The Guardian went to Orlando to learn the tricks of the trade from Frank Rolfe, the self-appointed dean of Mobile Home University, as he led would-be investors around a trailer park for sex offenders.

The Truth About George Washington
George Washington was unanimously elected as the first president of the United States of America after winning the American Revolutionary War as the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army.
Washington was first called Father of his Country three years after the beginning of the Revolutionary War – a status he earned not only for his military accomplishments, but also because of the numerous virtues he was perceived to possess as a human being.
But within Washington's impeccable character, one quality stood out the most – a unique immunity to the corrupting effects of power, which stemmed from his selfless nature. I often say of George Washington that he was one of the few in the whole history of the world who was not carried away by power, stated Robert Frost, America's great poet-philosopher.
After overthrowing the tyranny of the British Empire, Americans were unwilling to trust anyone with the power of a central government, yet in George Washington they saw a man who had transcended human fallibility. Had he lived in the days of idolatry, the Pennsylvania Journal noted in 1777, Washington would have been worshipped as a god.
How could such a man ever abuse his power, let alone become a tyrant? Furthermore, if men like Washington exist and can be elected into power, perhaps the United States government would never follow in the footsteps of the hated British Empire.
Does the mortal George Washington live up to his immortal legend? What is the Truth About George Washington?

The Third Industrial Revolution: A Radical New Sharing Economy
The global economy is in crisis. The exponential exhaustion of natural resources, declining productivity, slow growth, rising unemployment, and steep inequality, forces us to rethink our economic models. Where do we go from here? In this feature-length documentary, social and economic theorist Jeremy Rifkin lays out a road map to usher in a new economic system.
A Third Industrial Revolution is unfolding with the convergence of three pivotal technologies: an ultra-fast 5G communication internet, a renewable energy internet, and a driverless mobility internet, all connected to the Internet of Things embedded across society and the environment.
This 21st century smart digital infrastructure is giving rise to a radical new sharing economy that is transforming the way we manage, power and move economic life. But with climate change now ravaging the planet, it needs to happen fast. Change of this magnitude requires political will and a profound ideological shift.

Watch Christian Bale Burn Rubber in ‘Ford v Ferrari’ | Anatomy of a Scene
How do you go about recreating a 24-hour auto race for a movie? If you’re the director James Mangold, meticulously.
His latest film, “Ford v Ferrari,” takes place in the mid-1960s as the Ford Motor Company is trying to come up with a car that can beat out Ferrari in the Le Mans auto race. The American executives bring on the car designer Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) and the driver Ken Miles (Christian Bale) to aid in that task.
This scene takes place at the beginning of the 1966 edition of the race as Miles is preparing. Narrating the sequence, Mangold said that he wanted to use the camera following Miles down a hallway and then out to the track as a technique to reveal the spectacle of the race, with overwhelming crowds and a heightened energy.
The race starts the same way Le Mans used to actually begin, with the drivers standing across the track from their cars, then running over and leaping into the vehicles before pulling out. Mangold said the moment, captured in one shot, was a challenge to coordinate but was important to give a sense of authenticity to the scene.
He said he shot as much of the action as possible with real cars and stunt drivers, using visual effects not as much for the racing moments, but more to populate the stands so the production wouldn’t need 20,000 extras each day.
Read the “Ford v Ferrari” review.
