Operation Market Garden was the largest airborne operation ever launched in history. The plan called for the American 101st Airborne (Screaming Eagles) to land near Eindhoven and secure bridges in Son and Veghel, while keeping the main highway open and secure to allow the British 30 Corps Armor to advance into Holland. The 101st also fought in towns near the main road such as Nuenen in the southeast, and Schijndel in the northwest. The American 82nd Airborne (All Americans) landed in Groesbeeck and was tasked with taking the main bridge at Nijmegen and securing Grave Bridge to keep the main road open. After 30 Corps linked up with them, the 82nd were supposed to help open the Island Road to the north, and to see 30 Corps on their way to Arnhem. The British 1st Airborne (Red Devils) were to land in Oosterbeck, then proceed as quickly as possible to secure both sides of the Arnhem Bridge over the Lower Rhine. 30 Corps wwas supposed to link up with the 1st Airborne, cross the Lower Rhine, and make a big right turn into Germany. The entire operation was supposed to be completed within 48 hours. The reality however, would prove different…

Please read this after you’ve watched the video! How to make an arched bridge in The Sims 3: -You must type in “ConstrainFloorElevation False” and “ConstrainFloorElevation True” when I did in the video or it may not work! -You must delete that tile on top of the bridge and replace it or else there will be a bar running from one foundation to the next! -Middle section is three clicks up, outside sections are two clicks up! -You cannot change the flooring or stairs once you are done, so be sure to know what you want before you do it! This is simply a revised tutorial by me based off of this video by Zzinged: www.youtube.com My version was revised to be more simple to understand (not saying his was not great), and both were for the purpose of helping you all know how to do this! Thanks for watching, hope it helps! Enjoy!

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Fengdu, China by TravelPod blogger Elissabeth417 titled “Fengdu – The Ghost City, on the Yangtze” Elissabeth417’s travel blog entry: “The lovely wake-up music started at 6:45 this morning. We were supposed to get up and go to Tai Chi, but sleeping was more important(in the end it turns out that Tai Chi never happened anyways, so it was a good thing we slept!). Breakfast was a buffet included in the price of our tickets,so we tried to fill up before heading out to The Ghost City of Fengdu! At 8:30am we docked, disembarked, and took a tour bus through the demolished old Fengdu City. It had to be moved across the river onto higher banks since the old city will be covered in water once the dam is opened and the river is flooded. The old city was torn down and now the ground must be covered in cement so the mountain the Ghost City is on will not crumble into the water. It was virtually impossible to see the Ghost City that was atop the mountain from below, but we could see the chair lift which indicated there was something important at the top of the mountain! It was already 40C so our local tour guide pretty much demanded that everyone pay the extra money and take the chair lift up. Fine by me since I wasn’t planning on climbing the 400+ steps anyways. Our local guide was fairly informative, so we did learn quite a bit about the local lore. Typically, the Chinese believe that when one dies, they must go to the Ghost City …
