    • Your New Scoop Site

    Welcome to Scoop!

    To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

    Some tips:

    • Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
    • Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
    • Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
    • Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
    • If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

    Meet An Astronaut!

    I happen to be one of those who as a kid wanted to walk in space.

    Seriously, how cool is that?

    There are few who have ever experienced true weightlessness, or have seen the earth from space. Its a pretty exclusive club, and the chances are that we aren't closer to seeing general travel becoming the norm for a couple more generations. Grand Rapids native Jack Lousma is one of those who has had the rare opportunity, and he is going to to share some of his experiences during a Pat Colbeck fundraiser on Friday. ($20 - CHEAP)

    From his Bio:

    Lousma is one of the 19 astronauts selected by NASA in April 1966. He served as a member of the astronaut support crews for the Apollo 9, 10, and 13 missions. He was the pilot for Skylab-3 (July 28 to September 25, 1973) and was spacecraft commander on STS-3 (March 22-30, 1982), logging a total of over 1,619 hours in space. Lousma also spent 11 hours on two spacewalks outside the Skylab space station.
    Heck, I would settle for only one.

    Anyhow, the event is on SATURDAY September 14, 2013 at 2pm - 5pm

    WHERE: Yankee Air Museum 47884 D St, Belleville, MI 48111
