It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I spotted an (insert obscure car name here) classic car today!
I've had my fintail since I was 18, in no time I will have had it for 18 years. I could get my original purchase price back no doubt, but money has been spent in the meantime - mostly when the car needed rings and kingpins. I wouldn't be able to get the total expenses back, but it has been driven a bit over those years. I am lucky that indy MB shops aren't scared of it, but I haven't done any real restoration work - it just costs too much, and there's only a negative return.
Interesting that all three went down under. I wonder if the cars get RHD conversions, as many American cars did back in the day.
I can imagine the driver of that Caddy when new - would have been dressed very chic for the time.
Stude did do RHD at the South Bend plant, for export and also for "Rural Router" Larks. My cars have not been converted to RHD as I have seen photos since they've been there.
If I bought that Caddy, I'd have to get a pair of Ray Bans (more likely, cheap knockoffs), and have my wife wear cat's eye glasses.
I always think I'd like "Mad Men" on HBO, but we don't have HBO. It's supposedly that early '60's time period that I find so fascinating, although remember very little of it personally.
I've seen all kinds of 60s-70s American cars with RHD conversions in Australia, some of them kind of odd (big Chryslers, gargantuan T-Birds, etc). As the Australian automotive scene never gave up the big V8 sedan, maybe that makes sense.
I can see that Caddy being driven by a classy woman in a period dress and pillbox hat, with a fancy period style handbag, kind of a Jackie Kennedy style maybe. A man in a casual suit and fedora alongside her. That era certainly had style and some good design, from houses to clothes to cars.

I just love '65-66 Imperials (OK, the '64 is nearly identical but I like the front end styling of the '65 and '66 better). I'm reminded of Mr. Drysdale on "The Beverly Hillbillies" when I see one.
I always liked the '63 Imperial too. It's the goofy '61 and '62, but minus the 'sparrow shredder' taillights. I particularly like it from the rear.
I never look at Imperials on eBay...until now.
Here's '63 coupe. Reupholstered front seat at least...and is this what an Imperial front seat looked like in '63? Where's the center armrest?
I think fintail mentioned it, but I agree... Chrysler seemed to hold onto 'bigger than life' '50's styling...even interior and instrument panel...longer than the other guys.

Personally, even though it's a four-door, I'd much rather have that '61 Caddy than that Imperial, and the owners were looking for about the same money.
Here's a nice '66 Imperial hardtop sedan. Got the leather that's got lines in it look in front, but BIN of $16K. It's more timeless styling than the Caddy I think, but...again, for a complete 'time capsule', I think it's hard to beat the Caddy.

Nice '67 convertible, very rare...to me, this is about when Imperials became not all that more exciting than New Yorkers (my opinion only):
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/440ci-V-8-1-577-Produced-Very-Nice-Running-and-Dr- - iving-Example-/271128797738?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item3f2089222a
On eBay, there's also a '68 Imperial 4-door "post" sedan...it has frames around the side glass. I had forgotten there were Imperials like that then.
My friend, who was the Studebaker dealer in our hometown, was approached by the Dodge 'road man' to take on a Dodge franchise when the elderly owner got out of the business. My friend was invited to the unveiling of the '62 Dodges in Detroit, pre-public and for dealers only. When asked what he thought, he said, "Those look worse than Studebakers!"
He didn't add Dodge, probably much to his chagrin a few years later!
That '67 is the pick of the litter. The '67 Imperial was a fabulous car, maybe the high-water mark for '60s Imps, and the convertible is exceptionally rare. That one looks outstanding, although I wish they had not changed the paint color. I wonder what the reserve would be. Too bad it has a black interior - not only are those always a bad choice in a convertible, but that season Chrysler offered a gorgeous silver leather interior option that looks fabulous.

I think Imperials from 1957-66 were solid, sturdy cars, but unfortunately suffered from having the same drivetrain as a Chrysler New Yorker, but weighing up to 1,000 lb more.
They were put together better than other Chrysler products of the era, but I think a Cadillac would still have better fit and finish, and a higher quality interior.
Where an Imperial would win out though, would be a demolition derby. The 1960-66 models, which used the same frame as the '57-59, but had some Unibody tricks incorporated into the body to stiffen it up, were especially rugged.
As for finding parts, Imperial-specific stuff is probably hard to get, but a lot of the generic stuff, like drivetrains, power windows, etc, was probably shared with the Chrysler New Yorker and such.
Personally, my favorite Imperial of that era is the 1960. There's just something about that front-end I like. It had a proud, accomplished look to it, that says "I've arrived!"
Here's '63 coupe. Reupholstered front seat at least...and is this what an Imperial front seat looked like in '63? Where's the center armrest?
That front seat upholstery looks all wrong to me, both in terms of pattern (the stitching pattern is too wide) and the fabric (looks like a velour material). Too bad.

The IPs are similar but not identical. Here is a '67 Chrysler New Yorker IP:
Here's the Imperial:
The Chrysler IP bowed out in the center while the Imp's did not, and the Imp also had a number of neat features like a pop-up vanity mirror in the glove compartment and a cover for the radio.
2011 Buick Regal Turbo, 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Holiday Coupe
I thought that '67 Imperial had a 'bowed out' look to the top pad, but maybe that's just sagging of an old vinyl part. Thank you for pointing out the differences, and there are quite a few.
A "pop-up vanity mirror in the glove compartment"? Wonder where they got that idea? Same place they were able to pick up the "Challenger" and "Daytona" names!
In my memory, it's unusual to see a convertible with a rear-seat center armrest like that Imperial has. My experience with large convertibles is mostly GM, but I always figured in a convertible, GM made the rear-seat back cushion thinner, making a center armrest not nearly as useful. Matter of fact, in the early '70's, GM even started cutting out rear-seat center armrests in coupes, when the hardtop sedan version of the same model and interior trim had them (Pontiac Grand Ville with optional Custom interior; Buick Centurion).
Neat touch on that Imperial.
Is that vinyl or leather inside? If leather, it's avoided the wrinkly/lined leather look that seems so typical.
I'm pretty sure it's leather.
Here's a pic of the silver leather interior. Imagine how great it would look with the original Charcoal Gray Metallic paint on that '67.
Regarding rear-seat center armrests, I suspect GM did that because the top mechanism ate up significant width in the rear because the frames went into each side until '71, making the rear seat narrower than the coupes. Of course starting with the '71s the frame was different to alleviate that problem but I bet the GM bean counters wouldn't allow the armrest to return, as part of GM's continued cheapening up of their cars back then.
2011 Buick Regal Turbo, 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Holiday Coupe
I remember reading that when the Mopars were redesigned for 1969, the convertibles picked up about 10" in back seat shoulder room, because of a redesigned top mechanism. At first, I thought that might have been a bit of hyperbole, but after seeing how much room the surrounds for the top intrude into the back seat area, I can believe it. Looks like it eats about 5" on either side, easily.
I wonder what kind of gains GM saw when they went to the "scissors" type mechanism for 1971?
Awhile back, I took a tape measure to my '67 Catalina, and the way I measured its shoulder room, got 62.5" in the front seat, and about 56" in the back seat, measured between the narrower area in between where the top cuts in. Looking at the sales brochures, Pontiac didn't publish shoulder room, although they did show legroom and headroom stats. I just checked the 1970 Buick brochure though, and they're showing the LeSabre convertible as only having 52.3" of shoulder room in the back! So, I wonder if GM changed the top mechanism from '67-68 to '69-70? Or, maybe I just measured wrong?
I just dug up a '71 Buick brochure, and they're showing the LeSabre convertible at 61.7" of shoulder room! So, it looks like the big '71 GM cars got about a 10" gain in shoulder room, too!
I think the '71 full-sizers had something

Western novelist Elmer Kelton dies at 83
Associated Press
SAN ANGELO, Texas -- Western novelist Elmer Kelton, whose novel "The Good Old Boys" was made into a TV movie starring Tommy Lee Jones, has died. He was 83.
Myrtis Loudermilk, a director at Johnson's Funeral Home in San Angelo, told The Associated Press that Kelton died Saturday of natural causes.
Kelton wrote 62 fiction and nonfiction books. "The Good Old Boys" was made into a 1995 TV movie starring Jones for the TNT cable network. Kelton also was known for "The Man Who Rode Midnight" and "The Time It Never Rained."
His first novel, "Hot Iron," was published in 1956, and he recently finished his last book, "Texas Standoff," due out next year. Another novel, "Other Men's Horses," will be released this fall.
The Western Writers of America voted Kelton "Best Western Author of All Time" and gave him its Spur Award seven times. Four of his books won the Western Heritage Award from the National Cowboy Hall of Fame.
Born in Crane, Kelton grew up on the McElroy Ranch in west Texas. He served in the U.S. Army from 1944 to 1946 and saw combat in Europe during World War II.
He earned a journalism degree from the University of Texas at Austin and spent 15 years as the farm and ranch writer-editor for the San Angelo Standard-Times. He also worked as an editor for Sheep and Goat Raiser Magazine and Livestock Weekly, from which he retired in 1990.
Funeral services are scheduled for 2 p.m. Thursday at First United Methodist Church in San Angelo.
Kelton is survived by his wife, Ann, and three children.
One of our best loved cousins that has given us much to live and learn from will truly be missed . The history of the family and keeping in touch with all will have a whole in our lives.

The Tribune-Star
---- —
The city election involved lots of debate over a new headquarters for the Terre Haute Police Department.
But is Raleigh, N.C., really a fitting location? The 750-mile commute for the cops would be dreadful.
Seriously, a building in downtown Raleigh posed as the THPD headquarters Wednesday during the filming of a scene in the upcoming movie "Arthur Newman, Golf Pro." The production crew of Vertebra Newman Film Co. placed Terre Haute Police Department signs and insignias on the exterior of the Raleigh News & Observer newspaper building on McDowell Street. The largest sign identified the site as THPD "Central Precinct 427." A squad car also bore an eerily real THPD decal.
The film stars Colin Firth as Wallace Avery, a man whose life has unraveled. He's lost his job, his ex-wife and son despise him, and he's blown his chance at his dream job on the professional golf tour, where he's known as "The Choker," according to a synopsis provided by the film company. Even his unemployment checks wind up getting lost. Wanting to escape it all, "Wallace decides to take advantage of an offer he received after helping the owner of a private club in Terre Haute correct his swing — a job as the club's pro."
So, he fakes his own death, takes on the identity of a golf pro, Arthur Newman, and heads out on a road trip. In this alternate universe, he meets a young girl named Mike (played by Emily Blunt), who is also running from a troubled past.
Together, they break into vacant houses and assume the absent owners' identities. Anne Heche plays Firth's girlfriend, who badly mistreats him.
A pair of Terre Haute police officers are played by actors Michael Beasley and Ron Prather, with a half-dozen local extras acting as fellow cops, according to Brooke Cain, a reporter for the News & Observer who covered Wednesday's activities.
Several other North Carolina towns served as other U.S. cities depicted in the movie, including Orlando, Fla.
Readers may ask, "Why Terre Haute?" Well, no one from Vertebra Newman was available Thursday to explain the choice. Such cinematic mystery is becoming a baffling trend for Terre Haute. Comic actor Will Ferrell and a small production crew showed up unannounced at Seventh and Wabash one morning in September, filmed what appeared to be an Old Milwaukee beer commercial, dined at Cracker Barrel and left without explanation.
Now, a Southern city is pretending to be Terre Haute for a day in a movie starring an Academy Award winner (Firth), a Golden Globe winner (Blunt) and an Emmy Award winner (Heche), and the question remains, "Why Terre Haute?"
Folks in Raleigh probably wondered the same thing Wednesday as they watched the movements of the actors.
In the Terre Haute scenes, Firth sits in a park (Raleigh's Nash Square) across the street from the police station. (Imagine that — the 2011 Oscar winner for Best Actor camped out in a local park.) Blunt walks out of the station lobby and into the park to meet Firth. Blunt's outfit and makeup looked a bit Gothic, with "short shorts" and blackened hair, said Cain. She speculated that Blunt's character might have been in trouble with the law. Heche did not act in that scene, but did in another shot elsewhere in Raleigh, reportedly meant to be Orlando.
News & Observer officials had been contacted by the production company earlier this fall, and a location scout visited the building, said Felicia Gressette, the newspaper's vice president of marketing.
"They liked the look of our building, which is mid-'50s, vintage," Gressette said.
(Obviously, mid-'50s, vintage is also Hollywood's image of a police station in Terre Haute.)
The News & Observer agreed upon a deal for the filming, but no one at the newspaper realized it would be the setting for a police headquarters in Indiana.
"We all came to work [Wednesday] and saw a great big sign on the front of the building saying 'Terre Haute Police Department,'" Cain said, chuckling.
The presence of the high-profile cast members caught the attention of numerous newspaper staffers and other Raleigh residents. "I mostly worked," Gressette said, "but some spent a good deal of time star gazing."
Terre Haute residents — real Hauteans living in the actual Indiana city — reacted much the same way when Ferrell breezed into downtown two months ago. The sign of Hollywood types isn't quite so rare for Raleigh locals. North Carolina, especially Wilmington, has an active film industry. In fact, Firth came to neighboring Durham in 2009, the setting of his recently released movie "Main Street," which didn't wow theater-goers or critics.
"I hope ['Arthur Newman, Golf Pro'] is a good movie," Gressette said.
Me, too. In the meantime, Hauteans can pop open an Old Milwaukee, break out the golf clubs and wait to see how Will Ferrell and the Vertebra Newman Film Co. portray our humble town.

Springfield, Mass. - April 6, 2013 - Junior Ryon Lynch erupted for nine points, including six goals, to power the Springfield College men's lacrosse team to a 22-7 victory over MIT in Pilgrim League action Saturday afternoon on Stagg Field.
Springfield has now strung together three-straight wins to improve to 4-6, 2-0 in league play. The loss drops MIT's record to 2-6, 0-1.
Lynch put on a masterful performance, recording six goals and three assists, playing just into the third quarter. Ryan Murphy added two goals and three assists, and Brendan Boss notched two goals and two helpers. Matt Dalton was tremendous in the transition game, netting two goals and adding an assist with his longstick. Sean Doolady dominated the "X", going 16-for-23, and Lynch caused three turnovers. Rob Maher earned the win after playing the first half, while Connor Nash was terrific in the third quarter, making seven saves. Kevin MacBride closed out the fourth quarter with four stops.
Sean Burke scored twice for the Engineers, and Luke Verdi had a goal and an assist. John Kramer had a team-best three ground balls, and Chris Rullan was credited with six saves in 45 minutes of work in goal.
Boss opened up the scoring just 42 seconds into the game, blasting a shot into the back of the cage from eight yards out. However, MIT answered back with the game's next two goals to take a 2-1 lead with 9:36 left on the clock. Jonah Hessels spun to get free for a blast from 10 yards out, before Elliot Sykora converted in transition with his longstick.
Springfield responded by scoring nine unanswered goals, seven of which were netted by the starting attack unit of Lynch, Boss, and Murphy. The Engineers answered with back-to-back unassisted goals just 28 seconds apart by Chris Cook and Verdi to make it a 10-4 ball with 3:28 left in the half. Springfield closed out the opening half with three more goals, highlighted by a 15-yard blast from Bryce Serriello.
The Pride put the game away for good with seven unanswered goals to start the second half, two of which came off the stick of Kevin Freeman. Kevin Dean's second goal of the game gave Springfield's its largest cushion, 21-5, with 7:46 left in regulation.
The hosts owned a 43-28 edge in shots, including a 29-8 advantage in the first half. Springfield won the ground ball battle, 24-16, and won 20 of the 32 face-offs.
Springfield will play its final non-conference game of the regular season when it heads to Amherst on Wednesday evening.

American League Game Capsules(Tuesday, July 22)
Final Score: New York 2, Texas 1 (14 innings)
Bronx, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Chase Headley capped a whirlwind day with a game-winning single in his New York Yankees debut, giving his new team a hard- earned 2-1, 14-inning victory over the Texas Rangers. Headley, acquired in a trade with the San Diego Padres earlier Tuesday, shot a line drive to left- center field off Nick Tepesch (3-6) with one out that brought home Brian Roberts and enabled the Yankees to avenge a 4-2 defeat to the last-place Rangers in Monday's opener of this four-game set. The 2012 National League RBI champion had gone hitless in his first three at- bats after entering in the eighth inning. Jacoby Ellsbury and Roberts each finished with two hits, with Ellsbury coming through with an RBI single against Joakim Soria that extended the contest. Neither team managed to push home a run through the first 12 innings of play before Texas' J.P. Arencibia broke the stalemate with a solo homer in the 13th.
Final Score: Toronto 7, Boston 3
Toronto, ON (SportsNetwork.com) - Jose Reyes, Melky Cabrera and Dioner Navarro all drove in a pair of runs as the Toronto Blue Jays took down the Boston Red Sox, 7-3, in the second test of a four-game series. Navarro doubled and homered, while Reyes added a solo shot among his three hits and Cabrera finished 3-for-5 for the Blue Jays, who rebounded from Monday's series- opening 14-1 loss. J.A. Happ (8-5) tossed six scoreless innings, allowing seven hits and one walk while fanning four. Stephen Drew hit a two-run homer and David Ortiz collected a solo blast for the Red Sox, who received three hits apiece from David Ross and Shane Victorino in defeat. Jake Peavy (1-9) lasted 6 1/3 innings, and was charged with five runs on eight hits with three walks and seven strikeouts.
Final Score: Kansas City 7, Chicago 1
Chicago, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Mike Moustakas went 3-for-5 with two homers and three RBI to ignite a stagnant Royals lineup as Kansas City earned a much- needed 7-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox. The Royals were scuffling offensively coming in, scoring just 17 runs during a 1-7 slump that dropped them two games below .500. Moustakas highlighted a resurgent 14-hit attack that featured multi-hit efforts from four others, including Raul Ibanez going 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI. Bruce Chen (2-2) went the minimum five innings to earn the win, while three relievers behind him held Chicago scoreless over the final four frames. Scott Carroll (4-6) matched Chen through five innings but imploded in the sixth. Adam Dunn produced Chicago's only run with a homer.
Final Score: Cleveland 8, Minnesota 2
Minneapolis, MN (SportsNetwork.com) - Carlos Santana went 4-for-5 with two doubles and a solo home run while driving in two, as Cleveland topped Minnesota, 8-2, in the second portion of a three-game set. Chris Dickerson and David Murphy also added two RBI apiece for the Indians, who had dropped two in a row including Monday's opener but have won five of seven overall. Yan Gomes and Mike Aviles also knocked in runs for Cleveland. Recalled from Triple-A prior to the contest, Danny Salazar (2-4) scattered six hits and one run while striking out six against three walks over five-plus innings. Yohan Pino (1-3) surrendered four runs on seven hits over 6 1/3 frames for the Twins, who have dropped four of their last five. Brian Dozier homered and Sam Fuld was responsible for Minnesota's other run.
Final Score: Baltimore 4, LA Angels of Anaheim 2
Anaheim, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Jonathan Schoop clubbed a two-run homer and Miguel Gonzalez pitched into the eighth inning to guide the Baltimore Orioles to a 4-2 triumph over the Angels. J.J. Hardy had a pair of RBI doubles for the AL East leaders, who will go for a three-game sweep Wednesday night. Gonzalez (5-5), who was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk, allowed three hits, including a two-run homer to Mike Trout, over 7 2/3 innings. Gonzalez fanned five and walked four to earn his first victory since June 17. Efren Navarro had two of the three hits for Los Angeles, which lost its second straight for the first time since June 15-16.
Final Score: Tampa Bay 7, St. Louis 2
St. Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - James Loney went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, Yunel Escobar knocked in a pair of runs and the Tampa Bay Rays took a 7-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals in the opener of a two-game set. Evan Longoria homered while Matt Joyce, Jose Molina and Jake Odorizzi each collected an RBI for the Rays, who have won a season-best six straight. Odorizzi (6-8) went 5 2/3 innings and allowed two runs on five hits and three walks with eight strikeouts. St. Louis starter Adam Wainwright (12-5) was tagged for six runs -- four earned -- on six hits and a season high-tying four walks through 4 2/3 innings. Matt Carpenter and Matt Holliday each had a solo home run for St. Louis, which had won two of their last three coming in.
Final Score: Arizona 5, Detroit 4
Phoenix, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Miguel Montero singled in the tying and go- ahead runs in the eighth inning as the Arizona Diamondbacks took a win away from the Detroit Tigers in a back-and-forth 5-4 battle on Tuesday. The Tigers went ahead in their half of the eighth when Torii Hunter laced a two-run single to center. Detroit left the bases loaded, however, and its bullpen failed to hold the lead. Phil Coke (1-2) issued a pair of one-out walks, and Ian Krol entered from the bullpen with two outs and the bags full. Krol was ahead 0-2 on Montero before catching too much of the plate on his next pitch, and Montero punched a base hit to center to plate Ender Inciarte and David Peralta. Addison Reed pitched around a two-out walk in the ninth to collect his 24th save. Aaron Hill made a sliding stop to his left on the game's final play and threw out Don Kelly by a half-step. Hill also shined offensively as he homered and drove in three runs, while Peralta tripled twice and scored three times in the D-backs' fourth win in five games.
Final Score: NY Mets 3, Seattle 1
Seattle, WA (SportsNetwork.com) - Rookie Jacob deGrom threw seven strong innings as the New York Mets topped the Seattle Mariners, 3-1, in the middle test of a three-game series at Safeco Field. The 26-year-old deGrom (4-5) won his third straight start after limiting the Mariners to a run on five hits with seven strikeouts and one walk. Jeurys Familia tossed a 1-2-3 eighth and Jenrry Mejia shut the door in the ninth for his 12th save as the Mets snapped a three-game skid and picked up their first-ever win at Seattle. They were swept in three games in their only trip in 2005. Seattle recalled Erasmo Ramirez (1-5) from Triple-A Tacoma to start and he was the hard-luck loser despite matching a career-high with 10 strikeouts over seven frames. He gave up two runs, both in the second, scattered five hits and walked two.
Final Score: Houston 3, Oakland 2 (12 innings)
Oakland, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - L.J. Hoes' homer in the 12th inning boosted the Houston Astros to a 3-2 win over the Oakland Athletics in the opener of a three-game set on Tuesday. Oakland threatened to end things in the 11th by putting two men on with two outs. Pinch-hitter John Jaso singled before Jed Lowrie walked and Houston opted for Darin Downs (2-1) to escape the jam. The left-handed specialist was called upon to take care of Brandon Moss, who grounded out softly on the first pitch he saw to end the inning. Hoes then stepped in with one out in the 12th and slugged a homer off Fernando Abad (2-4) just over the yellow border above the out-of-town scoreboard in left. Chad Qualls came on in the home half and set the A's down in order to record his 11th save of the season.

Q: Are there any good articles around on growing eggplants? I have had trouble in the past growing them. - Bob Reeber, Raleigh
Bob, there was a heck of a great article published in The N&O in May 2003 on eggplant, but since I did it, I can't get on my soap box and go on about it - that would be an obvious example of tootin' my own horn.
Anyway, with the cool spring we had this year, if you had trouble in the past growing eggplant, you probably had a bear of a time getting them going this year. Eggplants dearly love the heat and sun of summer, so if they are set in the ground too soon, the plants will just sulk and try to survive rather than thrive. However, with the rising summer heat, now is a great time to start eggplants. And for a successful crop, remember the three "P's":
Planting A site that gets plenty of sun is the best place to plant, and be sure to amend the soil heavily with organic additives. Also at planting time, mix in a fertilizer such as 5-10-10 that is not too bulked up with nitrogen, and occasionally sidedress the plants with a liquid fertilizer such as fish emulsion. The extra nutrients will be especially beneficial during harvest time.
Picking For an extended crop through the summer season, pick eggplants often. Shiny fruit usually means the eggplants are ready to be picked. Another good sign they are ready for harvest is when an indentation is left after you press the outer skin with your fingernail. Also, to prevent damage to the momma plants, snip - don't yank, jerk, twist or pull - the fruits off.
Pests Colorado potato beetles (which to the uninitiated look like orange-ish ladybugs) and flea beetles (yep, about the size of a flea) can cause major defoliation problems on plants if they aren't spotted early and stopped. Contact pesticides such as insecticidal soap or a bug-bopper that contains pyrethrin can help control these little beasties, but additional sprayings might be necessary.
Coneflowers are a no-show
Q: I planted some purple coneflowers last year and mulched them for the winter. I still don't see any signs of growth so far this spring! Is this typical? When do they usually start coming back? If they don't come back, what could be the problem? - Benjie Brown
Lack of purple coneflowers could have been the result of how you mulched them last winter. If you mulched over rather than around them and used more than 2 or 3 inches of mulch, with the wet winter we had, you might have set your pretties up for a fatal case of crown rot. In addition, if you mulched too early last year, the warm soil could have encouraged new growth, which would have been killed off by freezing temperatures. No sign of growth by now means your coneflowers aren't being shy - they have gone to that great Compost Pile in the Sky.
Can't rush figs
Q: We have a fig that has grown into a gorgeous shrub but no fruit. We planted a new one, which will take quite a while to produce, if we are lucky. So what type of fertilizer do we use on these trees? And do they require covering against winter freeze like they did up North (NJ/Pa.)? - Agnes Laub, Tarboro
Agnes, you have to remember that young fig trees can take up to four years to begin producing fruit, so patience is the key. This also means avoiding adding fertilizer, more fertilizer and then even more fertilizer to prod Mother Nature along. It won't work. In fact, figs produce more fruit with minimal application of fertilizer - usually a healthy dose of compost around the base of a fig tree during the spring season will do the trick.
As for winter protection, well, it can on rare occasions be cold enough down here in the sunny South to kill back limbs, but I have never had the root system of a fig freeze to death, so any limb dieback that my figs have experienced were, to me, a natural form of pruning, and the next spring, new shoots eagerly sprouted in place of the dead ones.

in European folklore, a deformed or imbecilic offspring of fairies or elves substituted by them surreptitiously for a human infant. According to legend, the abducted human children are given to the devil or used to strengthen fairy stock. The return of the original child may be effected by making the changeling laugh or by torturing it; this latter belief was responsible for numerous cases of actual child abuse.

Supernatural Episode 6.9
"Clap Your Hands if You Believe..."
Written By: Ben Edlund
Directed By: John Showalter
Original Airdate: 19 November 2010
In This Episode...
The boys are investigating a number of disappearances in Indiana.The popular belief in town is that this is the work of aliens. A group of UFO hunters has set up a caravan of crazy, led by a guy named Whittaker. Of all the monsters Dean and Sam have fought, they don't believe in aliens. The guys split up: Sam goes into town while Dean heads into the cornfield - where he is abducted into a bright flash of light. He is returned shortly thereafter, panicked and shooting into the air.
He heads back to the motel to find Sam in bed with a hippie chick, who was drawn to town because of the aliens. Dean is mad that Sam is screwing some chick while he has only been gone for a half-hour. In fact he has been gone all night - it is after 4am. He doesn't know what happened exactly. The "grabby, incandescent douchebags" were too bright to look at. He started shooting and hacking, and they returned him to the field. The boys go grab a beer, and Dean sees a strange looking man through the window, staring at him. Sam cannot see the guy.
The Winchesters split up again: Sam at the library, Dean doing research on the internet at the motel. Dean is interrupted by another bright light. The door opens, and in flies a little gold orb of light. Dean goes for his gun; the light cockblocks him, then starts bitch slapping him all over the room. Dean finally traps the thing in the microwave, and cooks it until it explodes. When Sam returns, Dean tries to show him, but Sam can't see the "blech" inside the microwave. Dean tells him that within the orb of light, there appeared to be a hot, naked woman. With wings. Sam puts the pieces together. During his research, he found evidence of not only extra-terrestrials, but other-terrestrials. In a word, fairies.
Sam and Dean pay another local crazy a visit, the fairy lady, who tells them all about fairies. They love cream, are vulnerable to iron and silver, and if salt or sugar is spilled before them, they must sit down and compulsively count every granule. The guys get a lead when they see the local watchmaker loading crates of cream into his workshop. Dean investigates the shop while Sam follows the watchmaker, Brennan. In the shop, Dean sees tiny, glowy men making watches. He slips out before they see him, but soon discovers the creepy, silent man following him again. He tries to tackle the guy, but ends up tackling the town's prosecutor. He is arrested while screaming like a crazy man to "Fight the fairies!" Sam, meanwhile, approaches Brennan, who finally admits that he summoned the elves to help in his workshop. His grandmother had left him a spellbook, and he gave it a whirl, initially only asking for help for his palsied hands. Instead, he unleashed a flood of elves and fairies - led by a leprechaun - that make a habit of abducting first-born sons.
Sam and Brennan go back to the watch shop. The elves would be drunk on cream, allowing them to get to the spellbook and cast the antidote spell, sending all the mythical creatures back to whence they came. Moments into the chant, Brennan is stabbed to death. His attacker? Whittaker, the head UFO nut. He is the leprechaun leader, and he runs the UFO groups to divert attention from his fairy tale brethren. He and Sam engage in fisticuffs. Sam shoots him with an iron bullet, but all it does is sting. Whittaker offers Sam his soul back in exchange for letting his kind remain on earth, but Sam won't give in. He spills some salt on the ground, causing Whittaker to begin his Rainman act. Sam recites the spell and all the fairies, elves, leprechauns, and whatever else is floating around are all zapped back to their own world.
Dig It or Bury It?
Ben Edlund's name on an episode always suggests awesomeness, and tonight's episode was no exception. There were so many funny lines I could barely keep up. The plot itself was silly, but Edlund's script matched that silliness, which just made it a delight to watch. I wish there was a unicorn in this episode. Maybe a garden gnome or two. This was definitely a stand-out episode.
Spooky Humor
Where to begin? As Dean is about to be abducted, he is on the phone with his brother, and just starts screaming, "UFO! UFO!" When that doesn't elicit any help from Sam, he switches to another scream: "Close encounter! Close encounter!" Before Dean disappears, Sam manages to ask, "What kind of encounter? I think the fourth is some kind of butt thing."
Sam goes to visit the caravan of crazy to try to get some info on UFOs. He is talking to Whittaker, and the hippie chick overhears Sam mention that his brother was abducted. She is both excited and saddened by the idea, but Sam assures her, "It's okay; I've had time to adjust." "Oh, did it happen when you were kids?" "No, about 30 minutes ago." At this point the hippie chick backs away slowly.
Sibling Rivalry
Dean is trying to teach Sam empathy. Sam is trying, but it is like trying to teach a robot to cry. When Dean comes back from his abduction, he is beyond shaken. For a man who has literally been to hell and back, some glowy lights shouldn't traumatize him so much. Sam sits down, puts his hand on his brother's knee and says, "Talk to me. This is a safe room." Dean looks at him like he is nuts, to which Sam responds, "I'm trying this empathy thing!"
Blood Brothers
The only death was that of Brennan - a giant pole straight through his chest. Quick, easy, and rather uninteresting.
After the Thanksgiving break, the boys, along with Samuel and the cousins, are trapped in some kind of abandoned asylum or prison. Looks damned creepy.

Cacao Chocolate Co. in Atlanta is known for its rich, luscious chocolate and unique infusions of creative and surprising flavors, but it's the pairing of these two fearless entrepreneurs that proves sweetest.
The chocolate company, which has a location in VaHi and another in Buckhead, will celebrate its ninth anniversary this year and just unveiled its new chocolate line last week.
Starting a business is always challenging, but starting one with such a specific product can be almost a death sentence for entrepreneurs who have less tenacity.
Sure, the new line of 14 specially crafted flavor infusions paired with dark, milk and white chocolates is mouth-watering, but the pairing that really sticks with customers is that of Cacao owners Kristen Hard and Caline Jarudi.
Hard said she knew when she met Jarudi at an event that she had to listen to the voice telling her that this would be her business soulmate.
"She is like my perfect other half in the business, and we're best friends. She's the godmother of my daughter," Hard said about Jarudi.
Jarudi calls Hard a "model entrepreneur for a woman" while describing herself as more of an accidental entrepreneur.
However, together, they've created a successful business that continues to grow, and they shared some of the secrets to their success.
Take a plunge, then learn from the results.
"It's such a big move, and I think that you have to really be willing to take a plunge and be OK with whatever happens," said Jarudi, who attribute's Hard's business success to her ability to take a plunge and inspire others in the company to take it right along with her. "…And whatever happens from it, if it's good, amazing; and if it's not so good, it's a learning experience. Everything is a learning experience, and I think we've been really good at that. Not everything has worked, and we've looked at what hasn't worked. What hasn't worked has been valuable."
Listen to Feedback. Make Changes.
"It's definitely been a path. I think that over the years, we've tried to become more and more accessible. I think that we heard from people some years ago that we maybe were not so accessible, and so we worked hard to relate more to people in a way that is like an entry level into fine chocolate," Hard said.
She said in the beginning an experience at Cacao was a high, connoisseur level experience that left others feeling intimidated.
"And that's what this new line is about. One more step in that direction of introducing people to fine chocolate without making them feel that they should know more."
The new collection is inspired by the store's truffles as well as recent relationships Hard has made in the coffee world. She said the line is whimsical and fun.
Go the Distance
The Peruvian addition to the chocolate line was inspired by Hard's two weeks traveling the South American country while she was four months pregnant last year. Hard said she always travels (usually to Venezuela) for about two weeks at a time, visiting about 12 farms during her visit to find the best cocoa beans.
"It's pretty difficult to locate this kind of chocolate," Hard said.
Only Accept the Best
Hard said, "I try to find the best of the best of the best, but that's really hard because much of it is made from commodity Cacao," which has regulated prices. This means that regardless of quality, the cocoa bean prices remain the same.
Hard says her company pays several times the regulated prices for their cacao beans to ensure the highest quality of beans.
"It's important that those cocoa beans are the best in the world," she said.
Be Fearless and Focused on Your Vision
"You have to be really fearless. You really have to be a visionary and be fearless at the same time," Jarudi said.
She said successful entrepreneurs see the big picture while observing the small details simultaneously without allowing the small details to hinder, overwhelm or paralyze them.
Share the Love, er, Chocolate.
Of course, Hard and Jarudi are absolute chocolate lovers. They opened their stores to share their love with the world.
"When someone takes a bite of the chocolate, we hope there is an experience of love and joy," Hard said.
Cacao also has Love collections, which can be great for Valentine's Day. Find out more by checking out visiting Cacao's Buckhead location at 2817 Peachtree Road or its location in Virginia-Highland at 312 C North Highland Avenue or visit them online here.

UPDATED 8:30 p.m.—While most of Hoboken was still dark, small pockets of power returned around 7 p.m. Residents reported power on First Street downtown, parts of Garden. Lights were on at CVS on Newark Street as well.
Earlier in the day, as local officials have shifted their focus on the recovery stage, the main priority in Hoboken is the restoration of power, Mayor Dawn Zimmer said on Thursday afternoon.
Speaking to about 200 members of the public and a large crowd of local and national media, Zimmer said that, while she couldn't give a real estimate on when power would be back, she is working with PSE&G as well as Governor Chris Christie to get the power up as soon as possible.
Two of Hoboken's substations were flooded during the storm. It took until Thursday afternoon for the water to recede out of there.
"All agencies are working together," Zimmer said. While she couldn't give an estimate, she said it'd be "shorter than seven to 10 days."
One of the city's major concerns at this point, Zimmer said, is ensuring that Hoboken's seniors have enough food and water.
Hundreds of volunteers showed up to city hall on Thursday and teams went around the city to drop off supplies and knock on doors all day.
"As long as we don't have power," Zimmer said, "we're going to be taking care of our community."
The Federal Emergency Management Agency arrived Thursday to meet with city officials and assess the inconceivable damage in the Mile Square.
"This is the priority," said FEMA Deputy Director Richard Serino, "we're going to get the power back on."
Authorities are still enforcing a curfew and warning people not to drive in the city after dark. Multiple checkpoints have been set up at the city's entrances, with police checking ID's of all drivers. Non-residents who are delivering supplies will be admitted.
There is still a great need for supplies and officials are asking for donations of non-perishable food, clothing, blankets and batteries to be delivered to Hoboken High School at 8th and Clinton Streets or City Hall.
City officials are also asking residents who are no longer stuck in their homes to check on elderly residents and the disabled.
Most of the city has water — tap water is safe to drink — but some buildings with water pumps that were hooked up to electricity, including Marine View Plaza, lost their water supply.
It was unclear Thursday whether the building's water was restored, but large tankers of water are set up at First and Washington Streets as well as 315 Washington Street for residents to fill their own containers.
Police and fire lines were still down, but the command center phone can be reached at 201-239-6644.
A pharmacist is present at City Hall and hundreds of volunteers lined up Thursday to assist the cleanup effort.

Retiring Virginia Sen. Jim Webb (D) joined famed authors Ruth Colvin and David Baldacci on Wednesday to receive the National Literary Leadership Award. The nonprofit National Coalition for Literacy presented the awards at the Dirksen Senate Office building in D.C.
The awards recognize individuals who have made "extraordinary national contributions to improving adult literacy and English language learning in the United States."
Webb, an Emmy Award-winning journalist and author of nine books, made his comments brief. "This (funding adult literacy programs) has been an issue close to my heart as long as I've been in the Senate," sais Webb, who was elected in 2006. "My father went to night school for 26 years to get his degree, and, he said, 'You can get anything you want in this country if you work for it, and don't forget it.'"
Baldacci is the author of 24 best-selling novels, including "Absolute Power" and "Last Man Standing." "We have a severe adult literacy problem in the United States," he said. "And if you look at literacy, it's the most core element you will ever have or not have."
Colvin, a literacy champion for more than 40 years, received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2006. She was unable to attend.
Adult learner Marty Finsterbusch is the president of the NCL. "You can't imagine what it must be like to go to the hospital and be handed a form to fill out and not know what to do," he said.
About 15 percent of about 200 million U.S. adults over the age of 25 have not earned a high school diploma, according to the American Community Survey. And, about 93 million Americans function below the high school level, according to the National Assessment of Adult Literacy.

As some of you know, I retired from the Air Force 3 weeks ago after 38 years of service. During the weeks both prior and after, I was really busy dealing with getting my retirement set up, and then hunting for deer in Ca. and property in Az. after. So I have not been able to post much during that time.
I am changing all that now starting with this post.
Tonight I am taking in 4-3 round robin with the NFL and NCAA combined.
I am on:
Baltimore -12
Over 44
Stanford -7
Over 49
As well...I am doing a 6 point teaser on these:
Baltimore -6
Over 38
Stanford -1
Over 43.
On Sunday I will be back to my usual antics with second half plays. Last Sunday I went 6-2 on those, and the week prior I was 7-3.
I see a lot of college plays I like a TON, and several NFL on Sunday.
Good luck folks...looking forward to getting back in the groove, and Spooky's smart-assed comments.....yeah Marc....I saw your post a couple of weeks ago on your express asking if anyone has seen me.
Bring it on brother!! I can banter with the best of 'em!!
the inability to become aroused over any of the choices for President put
forth by either party in the 2012 election year.

How to Fire Someone Compassionately
Do's and don'ts of giving an employee the worst news.
You've probably heard the tale of Tim Armstrong and the Conference Call That Went Awry.
Just in case you haven't: On Aug. 9, AOL's CEO and Chairman Tim Armstrong scheduled a meeting with numerous on-site employees as well as up to a thousand remote workers who called in, where he explained the necessity for a spurt of layoffs within Patch, a hyperlocal news division of AOL. About two minutes into the conference call, Armstrong interrupted his own meeting to abruptly and publicly fire Patch's creative director Abel Lenz. According to news reports, the firing took place allegedly because Lenz was taking pictures – something he frequently did during conference calls in order to post the images on the company intraweb – and Armstrong was concerned about company leaks. Audio of the public ousting quickly went viral, as did bad publicity for Armstrong, who has since apologized for the incident to his staff in an internal memo (Lenz, however, remains fired).
Most people aren't terminated in such a spectacle, but there is a moral to the tale: Whether you're a manager or an employee, the dumper or the dumpee, firing is never fun. It is possible, however, to give someone the bad news while still keeping your humanity and upholding your employee's dignity. Robert Sutton, a Stanford University professor and author of "Good Boss, Bad Boss" offers four guidelines in his book for how to handle letting someone go:
"The first thing you want to do is give them as much predictability as possible. Firing someone without warning and on the spot sometimes happens, but good bosses are quicker to give people warning," he says. "Second, give them as much understanding as possible. There are studies that show that people who are told why it's necessary [to let them go] are less stressed about it. The third isn't immediately obvious, but give them as much control as possible for the way things will unfold. And the last one is to have compassion."
[See: 25 Career Mistakes to Banish for 2013.]
With that in mind, consider these pointers on what to do and what to avoid when you have to let go of staff.
DON'T fire someone on a Friday. Waiting until the dregs of the workweek might seem less awkward, but doing so actually gives the fired person Saturday and Sunday to feel miserable and simmer in a 48-hour holding pattern until most offices and network contacts start their next workweek. "If you fire them on Friday at 4 p.m., they're going to stew, and get angry and they don't have resources available to them," says Laurie Ruettimann, a human resources consultant. "That's HR 101."
DO the deed on a Tuesday. Or a Monday even – the sooner in the week the better, because then the terminated employee has a better launchpad for planning his or her next steps. "It gives them the opportunity to tap into their network and begin a job hunt, or even to decide if they want to take some legal action. Firing someone as early in the week as possible so that they can get in touch with resources that are available since they're working," Ruettimann says.
DON'T tell remaining staff by scheduling a meeting after the fact. Formally scheduling time to convene and discuss someone's termination might lead to unwanted questions about what happened, plus it's just a little morbid. "There is no good way to deliver bad news, but a swift discussion [with staff] the next morning is fine." Ruettimann says. "You don't want to make it seem overly newsworthy." You could also go around to employees individually to quickly explain that their colleague is no longer with the company, but that's all you're able to share.
DO tell some staff on a need-to-know basis before the fact. There are a handful of colleagues whom you should clue in beforehand: your direct supervisor (he or she likely has to approve the termination), human resources personnel and even the office manager, if there is one. Depending on your office culture and its level of security, you might also need to inform the information technology department.

The Texas transportation conformity State Implementation Plan (SIP) and rule spell out the state's interagency consultation procedures and incorporate by reference the federal transportation conformity rule. The most recent state revision was adopted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) June 27, 2007, effective July 19, 2007. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approval of this revision is pending.
- State Transportation Conformity Rule, 30 Texas Administrative Code §114.260

The federal conformity regulation ensures transportation plans, programs, and projects in nonattainment and maintenance areas do not create new violations of the national air quality standards, do not increase the frequency or severity of violations, and do not delay timely attainment of the standards.
Section 176(c) of the Federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 required each state to submit a conformity SIP revision no later than November 25, 1994. The original rule was published by the EPA November 24, 1993. The original Texas SIP revision was adopted by the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission (now called TCEQ) October 19, 1994, and approved by EPA November 8, 1995.

Eleven-year-old Blake Rogalski is a bright student and strong athlete. But a few weeks ago a basketball bounced off the rim at a practice and hit his head.
"I saw him like almost fainting, and then he like stayed still," said teammate Aaron Ao.
Aaron was the only one at practice who saw the hit. Later, on the car ride home, he asked Blake to count his fingers.
"They were pretty easy numbers like two, one, three. But I didn't get them," said Blake.
As a result, Blake's family took him to the emergency department that night. But it was the next day's follow-up visit with a pediatrician that shocked his mother.
"Basically Blake thought that these pretty labels that were on the drawers in the doctors office, he thought they were pictures. He couldn't grasp the concept of words," said Carol Rogalski.
The hit by the ball wasn't dramatic. But Blake's memory loss was.
"I remembered my mom and dad. I didn't remember my brother," Blake said.
"Twenty-five years ago when I first started in medicine, to call something a concussion you had to be knocked out. Now we know that's just not true. Ninety percent of all concussions, you're not knocked out," explained neurosurgeon Dr. Richard Ellenbogen.
Dr. Ellenbogen is an attending neurosurgeon at Seattle Children's and also Professor and Chairman of Neurological Surgery at the University of Washington. He said participation in sports holds many benefits for kids. So he doesn't want to scare parents away from letting kids play. But he advised coaches parents and players to watch for concussion's warning signs, to make sports safer.
"You might have a headache, confused, not sure what the last play was," he said.
In that case he advised, a child needs to come out of play immediately. Then the child must be seen by a healthcare provider before returning to play.
A new study in the Journal of Athletic Training, conducted by the University of Virginia's Curry School of Education, showed concussion symptoms might be different for girls and boys. Most reported headaches. But more girls had drowsiness and sensitivity to noise. More boys were disoriented and had memory loss. That's what happened to Blake.
"I didn't remember my dogs' names, and I thought they were cats," he said.
"It surprised us. We've attended several concussion classes and it still surprised us," recalled his mother.
Dr. Ellenbogen said recovery can't be rushed.
"It turns out there are long term effects of not healing from your concussion. And healing means you have to rest. Both cognitive rest and physical rest."
"It was this chapter we were on," said Blake pointing to his Social Studies text. "They just looked like a foreign language. I couldn't read any of it," he said.
Teachers had to give him a break from studies. At the beginning that meant letting Blake leave class to rest in the health room two to three times a day. But with that modification, and a complete hold on all physical activity, P.E., and sports, Blake was symptom free in about a month.
"We knew it was just a matter of time for him to heal," said his mom.
Blake needed a doctor's note to return to his team. Washington State's concussion law says kids with concussions must be cleared by a health care provider before they can return to sports.

Entertainment behind the scenes
Lindsay Lohan, Samantha Ronson dating — that's news?
As if anyone who reads celebrity gossip pages and magazines didn't know already, Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are dating. … big duh.
We've been reading with a lot of amusement the headlines that "confirm" Lohan and gal pal Ronson are an item. Lohan was being interviewed on the syndicated radio program "Loveline" Monday night when the DJ asked the "Mean Girls" actress: "You guys, you and Samantha, have been going out for how long now?" Lindsay laughed, and Stryker continued: "Like, two years, one year, five months, two months?
"A very long time," Lindsay answered.
Headlines popped around the globe exclaiming that finally, FINALLY, this little snippet confirms that Lohan and Ronson are the real deal — girlfriends who truly are BFFs. In West Hollywood, they call them "Celesbians."
But did it really need to be confirmed? For months, the pair have been hanging out together and been photographed in public, and only two weeks ago Lindsay lashed out in her own blog against Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin asking, "Is it a sin to be gay? Should it be a sin to be straight…"

The Duncan Banner
Happy Crapemyrtle Christmas to you!
Duncan Beautification wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
If you're looking for gift ideas, a gift certificate for a crapemyrtle from one of our local nurseries would be nice. The crapemyrtle could be selected and picked up in the spring, ready to be planted and enjoyed for years to come. The recipient of the certificate can choose the size and color they want for a sunny location in their landscape. Make this a Crapemyrtle Christmas!
Elk Plaza has planted several crapemyrtles in the concrete areas close to their buildings. What a thrill to see them get on board with crapemyrtles, especially since they are along the Crapemyrtle Trail.
From Camelback to Main Street, and U.S. Highway 81 is on the trail.
We would encourage other business owners to follow Elk Plaza by planting crapemyrtles. Way to go Elk Plaza!
As the year comes to a close, this has truly been a year to remember. First we set records for severe cold temperatures during the winter months.
When spring and summer arrive, the rain is nonexistent and the heat is above 100 degrees for days on end. We know that crapemyrtles are aggressive, and their performance was quite impressive this year. However, many other plants didn't make it and will have to be replaced.
In some cases, a crapemyrtle would be a good choice. To further add to an unusual year, Oklahoma has a 5.7 earthquake.
Let's hope 2012 is more "normal" and weather not quite so bizarre.
Merry Christmas to all and let's make 2012 a year for crapemyrtles to beautify our wonderful community. They are such a beautiful plant and they will live for many, many years.
Don't forget to check out our Facebook page, type in Crapemyrtle Corner. For information, call 580-467-2167 or e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.
