Much as it pains me to disagree with two of my very good friends named Tom (Woods and DiLorenzo), I feel I must.
The former wrote this otherwise excellent piece on July 11, 2013 LewRockwell.com (http://www.lewrockwell.com/2013/07/thomas-e-woods-jr/how-dare-you-not-love-lincoln-and-his-war/) in which he justifiably excoriates the "libertarian" idolaters of Saint Abraham Lincoln. However, he characterizes these sick excuses for scholars as "sweetie-pie libertarians." I have two difficulties with this nomenclature. First, Murray Rothbard used to call people he liked "sweetie pies." I hate to hear such adorable language used to describe inside the beltway "libertarians" for this reason alone. Second, these people are by no means "sweet." They are trying to hijack the good name of libertarianism for their nefarious ends. The Great Lincoln, indeed.
The latter wrote this LRC blog (http://www.lewrockwell.com/lrc-blog/re-how-dare-you-not-love-lincoln-and-his-war/) also on July 11, 2013 in response the Woods' essay. In it, he very properly rejects the Woods' characterization of these rascals as "sweetie pie libertarians." DiLorenzo suggests, instead, "sweetie pie crybabies." Well, "crybabies" is a lot better than "libertarians," so I favor the DiLorenzo characterization vis a vis the one offered by Woods. They are indeed crybabies, not at all sweet ones. DiLorenzo, in his otherwise excellent contribution does mention "regime libertarians" and this is entirely acceptable. These folk do indeed support the "regime," and on supposed libertarian grounds.
However, the name for them that seems best to me is "suck-up libertarians." For sucking up seems to be one of their most highly developed motivations. Why else suck up to every mainstream economist who says even a few kind words about free enterprise? Why else suck up to the likes of Richard Lowery of National Review? However, I do acknowledge that Tom DiLorenzo also uses the very accurate term "bootlickers," which doesn't seem too far afield from "suck-ups."
I know the Murray Rothbard is somewhere up there looking down on all of us who are striving mightily to pass on the baton he has left us. I feel sure that he would enjoy this "debate" I am now having with my two Toms. I'll betcha he's now gleefully cackling to the effect that we should set up a formal debate as to how best to characterize these people: Sweetie pie libertarians? Sweetie pie crybabies? Regime libertarians? Bootlicker libertarians? Suck-up libertarians? Let the battle amongst true libertarians on this crucially important issue begin.
Needless to say, I am in full agreement with both Toms regarding the substance of their analysis of Abraham Lincoln. Indeed, I regard both of them, especially DiLorenzo, as my mentor on this issue.10:15 pm on July 14, 2013 Email Walter E. Block

WASHINGTON - Prospects appear strong that the nation's capital will hire more ticket writers in the fall.
"I've requested 10 new control officers -- those are the people who help out at intersections -- but I've also requested 30 new parking enforcement officers," says Mary Cheh, D.C. Council member and chair of the Committee on Transportation and the Environment.
Phil Mendelson, D.C. Council chairman, supports the request.
Last year, the city wrote 1.8 million tickets that generated $92.5 million in revenue. As of May 21, 535,570 parking tickets had been issued this year.
Cheh, who represents the city's Ward 3, says all of the tickets were written by a parking enforcement team that is short-staffed. The team has been reduced by 30 employees since 2010.
Most parking violations in the District occur in residential neighborhoods, where restrictions are meant to ensure adequate spaces for those who live in the area.
"(The Department of Public Works) tells me they have 3,000 calls a month from residents complaining about people parking in areas they're not supposed to park and that generally they don't have enough staff to cover all of the areas," Cheh says.
In the downtown business district, one goal is to keep traffic moving.
"Thirty percent of the congestion in the downtown area is attributed to people circling around, looking for a parking space," Cheh says.
Commuters complain that they get stuck with the lion's share of city parking tickets. An analysis by AAA Mid-Atlantic shows that 71.3 percent of last year's parking tickets were issued to Maryland and Virginia drivers.
But Cheh offers little sympathy.
"When people come into the District, they have to abide by the laws just like the rest of us, and so they can avoid paying us anything if they abide by the laws," Cheh says. "They could go to a parking garage, for heaven's sake."

My good foodie friend Jenni whose blog is Pastry Chef Online wrote a thoughtful post about showcasing our fellow foodies~~identifying special bloggers that mean a lot to you that you just want to shine a light on. These are bloggers who may not be the next Food Network star, have stats that are off the charts, but they are motivating captivating, and charismatic bloggers who inspire so many! They would give Pioneer Woman a run for her money!
I've been doing this in a different sort of way in 2012 and now into 2013 with the 'Featured Foodies' interviews. If you haven't met them, read about them, then you're missing out big time because these foodies have impacted me, my culinary world, my spirit and soul in so many unique ways.
There are, undoubtedly, so many many talented foodies on Facebook~~you get to know some very well, the good friend category, some as acquaintances, and then others only fleetingly as in hitting their 'like' button on their page. New pages, blogs and websites are popping up daily. Then there are foodies out there who don't have blogs or websites, but they have a panache and talent that blows me away! Food is truly our international human bonding thread~~it's right up there with air and water~~here are some loved foodies who have touched me, brought me great joy, taught me much, and given me more than I could have ever have expected! Thank you for being there for me! And, I must admit, it was hard to stop at just a baker's dozen foodies!
I sure hope you'll go visit these foodies at their blogs and follow them on Facebook~~you won't be disappointed!
Michele from La Belle Cuisine~~a person who never tires with her encouragement, sharing, and promotion of good friends, good food and happy living!
Soni from Mess Hall Dining~~she's mama to 10 awesome kids, so you know she can cook…plus, she focuses on 'mess halls' as in military eats which is mighty special!
Kim from A Little Lunch~~a soulful spirit whose pithy words in her blogs and posts can evoke huge emotions from my soul and spirit!
Karen from Crystallized Flower Company~~when you look up generosity in the dictionary you see her mug shot…what a love…and a true artist with edible flowers and plants!
Kc from Chat n' Dish~~the dainty and beautiful lady who makes me wish I had a French accent and could 'throw together' beautiful dishes without any seeming effort!
Chantal from Let's Eat~~a littl' girl with a big heart and and the 'older' generation soul and spirit…giving and giving with no expectations…truly a gem!
Lauren from Lauren Kelly, Certified Nutritionist~~this beautiful mom with 3 precious boys exemplifies what my life was like and for that I live vicariously through her remembering so much…thank you!
Bia from Rich and Sweet~~my saucy and spicy Brazilian love who inspires me with her cooking, her life, her adventures!
Lynn from Southern with a Twist~~a Southern 'belle' full of piss n' vinegar who can whip up some mean, authentic Southern food!
Jenni from Pastry Chef Online~~undoubtedly a wicked sense of humor, knows what she's doing in the kitchen, and not bashful about doing it…plus, she's quite the teacher!
Terra from Cafe Terra~~health inspector extraordinaire, loves her kitties, and whose hubby is in cooking training while she cracks the whip!
Shabnam from FlavornSpice~~a precious soul who came into my life in such an unexpected way and there was an instant connection!
Lisi from Chef-Lisi~~a foodie who has overcome obstacles and challenges that make most others' woes pale in comparison…the reality of survival!

We are constantly searching for the world's most innovative spaces, and the Keret House is definitely among these. A concept project envisions by Jakub Szczęsny, this house could quite possibly be the most narrow dwelling ever built.
Built in an elevated, small alley space the Keret House will measure between 122 centimeters and 72 centimeters at the most narrow points in the interior. Overall the dwelling spans about 14.5 square meters, which is rather spacious all things considered. The residence is being created for Etgar Keret, who believes that the tight corridors will provide for an excellent work space. The home will reside between two buildings on 22 Chłodna Street and 74 Żelazna Street in the district of Wola, Poland.

Electronic history: BBC Radiophonic Workshop
Categories: Freeloader, Upbeats and Beatdowns
There are few organizations In the history of electronic music that loom larger than the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.They helped develop techniques and technologies that went on to become the mainstay of electronic musicians to this day, not to mention helped condition the masses to accept, even love, the strange, unearthly tones of synthesized sound through their work. If you're familiar with their work at all, it is probably through the seminal theme from Dr. Who, famous in its own right and once covered by pioneering dance act Orbital. Now, the blog Dinosaur Gardens has discovered, digitized and made ready to download the 1973 album you see here. No Dr. Who theme, but there are a couple of minor gems on it, such as "Vespucci," a slice of sultry, low-key funk and "Take Another Look," which sounds like the theme song from a '70s sitcom about two industrial robots and a vacuum cleaner living together in a two-bedroom junkyard. Read about and download the BBC Radiophonic Workshop album here. -- Cory Casciato

Southern Region
Skukuza Golf Course
The Skukuza Golf Course is a magnificent 9-hole (18-tee) course situated in the world famous Kruger National Park just on the outskirts of Skukuza restcamp. This rich wildlife sanctuary surrounding the golf course is home to the Big Five, a huge variety of birds and countless other species, which all provide the visitor with a harmonious close-to-nature golfing experience.
The course is a Par 72, and is 5950m (6450 yards) for men and 5059m (5480 yards) for women. The course is not fenced-in so uninvited spectators are a common sight such as hippo, impala, warthog and baboons to mention but a few.
The course offers the pleasure of a challenge and an adventure.
Foot Safaris
Foot Safaris in the Kruger National Park - Time spent on foot in a Wilderness area is the very embodiment of a memorable safari experience. Trained field guides with backup rifles take groups of up to 8 people out into the bush for a few hours. Track rhino, elephant and lion on foot and learn and observe fascinating facts about the African bush. Participants walk for about 2 to 4 hours. Stops are made to enjoy the beauty of the area and to view plants and smaller animals. Children under 12 years are unfortuantely not allowed.
Bush Walks
Bush Walks.... in the Kruger National Park .... time spent on foot in a Big 5 Wilderness area is the very embodiment of a memorable safari experience. Nothing could possibly beat the excitement of tracking rhino, elephant and lion on foot through the heat of the bush. It is also one of the most incredible ways to learn about the fragility of the ecosystems of the Kruger National Park and to see the smaller, but in no way less exciting, animals and insects of the park like termites, birds and plants that tend to be ignored when on a game drive. Trained field guides with backup rifles take groups of up to 8 people out into the bush for a walk which can last up to four hours and stops are made to allow replenishment and a chance to take in the beauty of an area. In the Kruger Park it's advisable to take your own snacks and sunscreen and most of the camps do morning and afternoon walks. Children under 12 years are unfortuantely not allowed.
Game Drives
Game drives are what the Kruger National Park is all about. If you're on a kruger park safari then the highlight to any day is venturing out on the back of an off-road vehicle, binoculars clutched in one hand whilst the other hangs on for all you're worth to the constantly rolling vehicle as it makes its way through the bush in hot pursuit of the latest pride of lions, sighted feeding on a kill just over the rise.
Vehicles of 10-seats as well as the more economical 20-seater trucks are used. The availability of the 2 types of vehicles will vary from camp to camp and it is not possible to book the type of vehicle in advance.
The following drives are offered:
Sunrise drives, Mid-morning drives, Sunset drives, which are done at most camps and Night drives done only at Olifants, Mopanii & Letaba.
For those booked on a safari or into a private game lodge, regular game drives with an experienced ranger are part and parcel of your trip, and for those on self-drives through the Kruger National Park, Olifants, Mopani and Letaba restcamps provide night drives, whilst most of the restcamps offer early morning, mid-morning and sunset game drives. For the most part game drives last around 3 hours, and private lodges and game farms usually include a coffee break, breakfast or sundowners in the bush as part of the game drive experience.

As St. Louis and other American cities deindustrialized in the '50s and '60s, a national urban-renewal program tried to address the mass exodus of residents and businesses from urban centers. One solution was the 33-building, 11-story Pruitt-Igoe public-housing complex, built in 1954, and destroyed starting in 1972. Independent filmmaker and director Chad Freidrichs tells the story of this development and questions its status as a symbol of the failure of Modernist architecture and public-assistance programs in Pruitt-Igoe Myth: An Urban History. The 83-minute film, which tries to "implode the myth," will be screening in New York City, Seattle, and other cities this fall. • pruitt-igoe.com

Should I really feel this alone
In my so-called home?
Maybe it's not aimless thinking,
Wondering if i should pack my things
Middle of the night, set out running.
I promise you I'd let go, I'd give up everything
Just for this one dream of mine
I'd trade these friends of mine
Just for my one moment in time
To capture the attention of a crowd
For just even two full minutes
Explain myself and pour my heart out
Through these words scribbled out,
Typed rushed to get done
Hiding and hidden from the eyes of those familiar faces
But just comfortable enough to let out to strangers.
I'd give everything, down to my last dollar
Just to let go, set out to places unfamiliar
Collecting names as I cross state lines
My wallet thinning and my bank account lessening.
I'd give it all, just to get this one dream of mine.
If I was down to a penny, I'd throw it over my shoulder
Into the fountain, if it meant one more chance at this wish coming true.
I hope you were listening when I said
"I'm in the east coast now, but I'm west coast bound"
I really hope you were listening, preparing your lips for this,
Gloating, "I knew her before she was famous"
Because I promise you when I say,
I've never felt so strongly, I've never felt so right
I'll be out of this cramped town, by tonight.
Heading on to big cities that can hold my hopes, dreams and thoughts
I'll write to you when I can, but know I'm not coming back.
I've made it out, 'Los Angelos…10 miles' I'm homebound now.

LG's exclusive Windows Phone 7 apps
Some of you might think that Windows Phone 7 is still young and yellow and if we compare app numbers that is true. However, come to think about it, not many people use more than a dozen third-party apps and what matters the most is that all the essential ones are covered. LG has gone the extra mile to include its own LG Apps Store (available on the LG Quantum and Optimus 7) inside the Marketplace and it does well in exactly that – covering some pretty essential apps, which we decided to bring to your attention.
winners of a giveaway? Overall, Tool Box is a useful
app with nice looks and it comes for free.
Look n type is an app by LG, the purpose of which is to enable you to text and... walk simultaneously. It uses half of the screen to show you what's ahead, through the camera, while the other half is taken up by the QWERTY keyboard. Honestly, we have found ourselves in weird situations while walking and typing and this app might make it a little easier for geeks to avoid bumping into doors occasionally and doing all other things that make us the geeks we are.
In any case, it might be a good idea to take a look at the LG Apps Store since the few apps there are free and we found some of them pretty useful.

I have an ancient Nokia that still says Cingular on it and have been wanting to get a new phone, but I keep waiting for that "perfect" phone. Should I go purchase the new Quantum before the end of the year while ATT has the buy one get one free deal or wait to see what comes out new next year ? My college age daughter could use the "free" phone, but of course would have to pay for two data plans.

The Future of Content: Takeaways from the Council of PR Firms 'Content Frenzy' Event
- Content is the future of public relations—but do we really want to enter such a "shitty business?"
- Content is the best way to reach the audiences our clients value most—but we can't follow the media industry "over the cliff"
- Our core competencies are in storytelling and earned media, and we should "think like editors"—but we have to demonstrate real-world value to our clients or we're toast.
Confused yet?
The Council of PR Firms' 2013 "Content Frenzy" Critical Issues Forum was nothing if not contentious. During the event's opening panel moderated by Ogilvy CEO Chris Graves, BuzzMachine founder/media critic Jeff Jarvis and WebbMedia Group CEO Amy Webb encouraged attendees to forget everything they thought they knew about "content" and stop trying to view PR as the new journalism, because:
"Journalism is a service. Content is a tool." -@jeffjarvis #contentfrenzy
— PRNewser (@PRNewser) October 24, 2013
His point? PR is all about "relationships", not "creating more crappy content", so we should stay away. And he didn't let up.

I love it, it really gives a natural look, so if any of u loove the 'natural look' like i do, with no shimmer stuff or harsh , bold eye color shadow, GET THIS!... i got the TAUPE minerals its a nice brown with a little grey...this is my favourite eyeshadow, plus its MINERAL, and i also love the packaging, it has a little mirror at the bottom, and i looove the brush that comes with it, its the perfect small little brush...
4 those ladies who like VERY NOTICEABLE COLOR, this probably isnt 4 u, this gives a nice subtle, more natural look
UPDATED june2007: i bought the SWEET MINERALS and the lightest shade thats kindof pinkish has little shimmer in it, ew but at least its not so overpowering,
the second shade- a medium brown doesnt have shimmer, or maybe it does except u can barely see it
but anyway I LOVE THE BROWN SHADE in the SWEET MINERALS as MY BROW POWDER it looks so NATURAL and not so overpowering at all, but yet makes a difference, it blends in really nicely, and is hard to tell if this stuff is even on my brows!- GREAT FOR BROWS TOO , GO BUY IT , this is excellent for the natural look all over, its very versatile (use it as an eyeshadow, a liner and a brow powder)

I got the shade Taupe Minerals. I love this, use it almost everyday. I only use the lighter shade. The darker shade looks odd on my caramel skin (DDD). Goes on smoothly. I like the brush that's included. I have no complaints.

This is the best drug store eye shadow that you can buy, in my opinion. I just love it. I have all the colors and I just wish it came in more colors. This brand of eyeshadow is definitely my favorite. It's so soft and goes on effortlessly. It doesn't look chalky on me at all and you can go from light to more intense. It's just beautiful.

Hands down, this is the most beautiful eyeshadow I've ever used. I love all the colors except for the one called "Terra". But I've only tried all of the matte versions. In fact, I love this product so much I tossed out all my Lancome eyeshadows to make room for these new ones. They go on so smoothly, stays on all day, and they have a wonderful finish.

I love this eyeshadow. It's very smooth and perfect just like the Mineral Wear pressed powder and bronzer! I have Taupe and Berry. I use the darker Taupe color to fill in my eyebrows (I'm a brunette) and as an eyeshadow, the lighter shade to highlight my brow bone or as and eyeshadow. It comes with a really good quality brush (actual brush, not a sponse tip applicator). I use the darker Berry color as a blush and I can't say enough good things about it. It's a great color - perfect flush, can be worn light for daytime and heavier for nighttime. The color on me is like a pink bronze if applied light or rose tan if applied heavy. I love it! No reaction just like the entire Mineral Wear line... no bumps, no irritation, no itchiness just smooth, flawless skin.

I bought this in Terra Minerals which seemed to be the deepest colors of the collection. They go on as matte beige and a medium chocolate. These are very smooth and surprisingly rich, and also long-wearing even without a primer. The bottom of the compact opens up to a good little brush and a good-sized mirror, too. I paid $2.14 after my coupon, but at the regular price they are still a great deal.

Got this duo in Taupe. Very matte, which is good for my super oily eyelids. No breakthrough shine after almost a full day....no creasing either. That being said, I thought these looked "chalky" on me, but maybe that's due to my color choice. Given the fact that these are inexpensive, I plan to purchase some other colors to see if the result is different.

I have all of these eyeshadow compacts except the Terra minerals, which look too orangey for my complexion. Good pigmentation, smooth application. I depotted mine & put them in a MAC 15 pan palette. They were actually pretty easy to depot, and I can mix and match the colors better. Very good choice for individuals with sensitive eyes who like a neutral color palette.

I LOVE the Berry Minerals. A little goes a LONG way and the colors stay all day. They are a nice silky powder that goes on smooth and I didn't see any creases on the eyelids during the day. Wonderful product!

Always good to hear pop musicians speak well towards general music education. Since no one wants to listen to a band director, maybe someone with a little more name recognition can help out.
Editor's note: Vince DiFiore plays trumpet in the band CAKE, which is currently touring the U.S. and Europe. The band has teamed up with the US Scholastic Band Association (USSBA) for "The Federal Funding March," a nationwide contest for high school and college marching bands.
(CNN) -- During high school, I was a consistent member of the symphonic band. The band director regularly called on me to sight-read daily rhythm exercises for the rest of the class and, more significantly, gave me the honor of conducting one of our compositions for the annual fall concert.
That leadership experience was a milestone and will stay with me for a lifetime.
Source article.
My favorite quote?
"It may hurt to be told your paradiddles suck, but it builds character."
I'm not too sure I'm big on the federal funding slant of the article, but the point holds true: Music truly should be a co curricular, not extra curricular, activity. Many of the lessons taught in music aren't present in any other subject in comparable form. It's too bad that we, as educators, have failed to sell our own product. Never a better time like the present.

|Great All Around Boot
I have had these boots for about 4 years (purchased from Atomic Moto) and worn them in all kinds of conditions...rain, hot, mud, pavement, walking around, street riding and adventure touring. They have held up great and are still waterproof. These boots are flexible enough to give excellent ankle movement, but offer good support and protection. With that great movement though comes the sacrifice of the support for more heavy duty off road use that you might get from a full MX boot. These were a great compromise between those MX boots and something like a Danner work boot.

Legal Question in Military Law in Pennsylvania
When filling out a job application and asked if ever convicted of a theft or crime, if convicted of a theft in the military, do I have to answer yes or is military background different from a criminal backgraound. Also, will military convictions show up on a criminal background check?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: military
It depends. If you got only non-judicial punishment (i.e. article 15 in the Army) or a Summary Court-martial, it won't show up on a criminal background check. If you got a special or general court-martial it probably will.
One way to find out before you start job hunting is to run a background check on yourself (there are different services online that will do this) to see what it will show.
Also bear in mind that employers don't always run full background checks, but may just check for state convictions.
I hope that helps.

Class of '86 – Pontiac Sunbird GT
Image courtesy oldcarbrochures.com
The turbo madness continues! After last week's statement about turbochargers going a long way toward getting cars into the Class of 1986, we decided to extend that thought to its logical conclusion. In the mid-1980s, turbocharging was new, exciting and worth making a fuss about, and any car so equipped would have sold for a premium. So, logically, every turbocharged car from that period would stand to become collectible, right? In that context, let's consider the Pontiac Sunbird GT.
While the Sunbird name dates back to the H-body Vega clone, the front-wheel-drive J-body Sunbird debuted in 1982 as the J2000. A fuel-injected overhead-camshaft 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine arrived the following year, and for the 1984 model year Pontiac added a Garrett turbocharger to the 1.8, increasing its horsepower rating from 84 to 150. Pontiac made the turbocharged engine standard in the "sporty" SE model (optional in other models) and coupled it with a WS6 performance handling package and turbo aluminum wheels, but the SE sold poorly: less than 6,000 in 1984 and about a third that number in 1985. Pontiac responded with the Sunbird GT in 1986, which, like the SE, came standard with the turbocharged engine but, unlike the SE, benefited from a good amount of visual distinction from the lower models. The front end now partially eclipsed the headlamps, flares graced the fenders of the two-door versions (a four-door GT was offered in addition to the coupe, convertible and three-door hatchback), a spoiler sprouted in the rear, and badges rather than decals announced the fact that the car was turbocharged. The GT – particularly the coupe – sold much better than the SE and its front end would actually proliferate across the Sunbird line in the following years. The turbo four grew to 2.0 liters and 165hp in 1987 and remained the GT's engine until 1991, when Pontiac replaced it with a V-6. The Sunbird GT continued through 1993.
So it's turbocharged, it's got the "GT" name, it's got fender flares and a spoiler. What else could you ask for in a candidate for the Class of 1986? That said, let us know what you think about the Sunbird GT: Does it deserve a spot in your garage dedicated to vehicles from 1986, or is it a stretch to consider it collectible?

Interesting, but I'd need a 500 car garage before I'd think about including one of these. I remember shopping for new cars in '83 and '85 and looked at all of the domestic offerings for cars this size and wasn't impressed with the designs, mechanicals or build lack-of-quality. I bought two Celica GTSs intstead, an '83 and what turned out to be the last rear wheel drive Celica, the '85. They were a few thousand dollars more than the domestic compacts, but seemed a few classes above in the interior and build quality. The opposite would be true today. I'd buy a new GM Cruze or Verano or Ford Focus over any new Toyota in a heartbeat if I was in the market.
I bought the Sunbird turbo (sedan) new- regrettably not a reliable car, but I loved it. The turbo took a long time to wind up and start to give, but when it did it almost lifted the left front wheel off the ground.
Scared a few folks at the stop lights.
It had an annoying problem with a vaccum line that meant sometimes the turbo didn't kick in when you wanted (needed) it to. That was enough for me.
I sold it when it still had some warranty left on it. It was on its third front end.
A friend of mine had an 87 Sunbird GT he bought new. He wasn't exactly kind to the car and so it showed some of the ravages of his abuse, but I had opportunity to drive the car when it was about 3 years old and it was a solid, competent little car that was good looking to boot (it was white with black spoiler and the blackout trim). It made a favorable impression on me at the time.
Yep – looked good – especially the fog lights on the turbos. I bought mine based an an excellent Road & Track review, and my test drive.It had wide tires and alloy wheels too, and as a sedan it was a real sleeper.
OMG, I miss my '87 Sunbird GT Hatchback so bad! My wife convinved me that I had to sell it to make room for a new car. The kid that bought it wrecked it within two months. I may never really get over that.
1986 sunbird gt turbo hatchback black/silver. My first car!! I've been looking for one for years now. I will pay a finder's fee for anyone that can locate one for me and I purchase.

I love these cars. I learned to drive on one and it was my fisrt car. It was blue with the fender flares and back wing. I have looked for years and never found one like it it was the gt but didnt have the turbo. Loved the car really wish i could find another one.
I had the 1987 Pontiac Sunbird GT – painted just like the one in the picture. Mine was the hatchback. It was HOT!!! One of the best looking cars GM made in the last 40 years. I never saw another one like it. Black and Gold was a great combo. The paint job was killer. GM should have made more of them. The wheels, flares on wheel wells, spoiler, headlights, fog lights- all came together. I loved the taillights. I miss that car. I bought it from a widow, I used to wash it as a kid for her. I got it with 3K on it. GM designers really delivered.
Ihave a 1987 sunbird gt convertible that i bought new.Iam looking for some parts to restore it
Freddie I'm located in the Northwest and own a 1985 Pontiac Sunbird SE Hatchback with the 1.8 Turbo mated with an automatic. The car doesn't run currently but when it did it ran decent. I'm willing to part out the engine and components at literally no cost (except some items).
Funny how there are owners of several '87 Sunbird Converts on here. I owned an '87 Cimmaron for years and always wanted to find a nice '87 Sunbird Convertible to convert to a 2-dr Cimmaron convertible! (No accounting for taste, right?)

Comments about dcshoes Contrast Mid:
The shoes are great only thing is the color that should be orange by the heal was actually hot pink, and the sole was mix of Orange and pink, depending on the type of light it was under. But either way shoes still look very stylish and are very comfy as well and price you can go wrong.

text: I saw the story on Sept 1st regarding stepped up enforcement of child safety seats and this is great; however, We were pulled over by Springfield Police Officer Brian Gay Sept 2nd and we were cited for having a child seat safety violation when our booster seat meets national standards. The Officer said the seat had to have a harness type restraint in which there are no booster seats sold as "booster seats" having a harness. According to Oregon law it makes no specific mention to a harness. It is my belief that the Officers need to be made aware of the difference.

Camera crews for prominent television journalist Bill Kurtis have been seen following George Alpogianis to collect footage for a potential profile on his family or pilot reality TV show.
Alpogianis is a Niles village trustee and co-owner of Kappy's Restaurant & Pancake House, in Morton Grove. The cameras were led by producer Tania Lindsay, in conjunction with Kurtis's side company, Kurtis Productions.
Lindsay produced the 2009 TV series "The Entrepreneurs (Toms Shoes and Frontera Foods)", as well as the 2010 TV movie documentary "The Abduction of Jaycee Dugard" and 2010 TV movie "The American Tax Cheat."
The crew was on hand Sept. 15 when Kappy's closed for renovation, and family members said cameras have filmed them at home and on errands too.
Lindsay emphasized that her visits are experimental, and she's unsure what angle her team would take if a documentary or pilot TV show were pursued.
Gus Alpogianis and his sons George and Manolis all share a stake in the restaurant, and the trio believes Kurtis Productions will profile the family or do a pilot reality TV show on how decisions are made at family-owned businesses.
"We usually talk business and make decisions every Sunday before having a big family dinner together at the old house," George Alpogianis said. "My brother (Manolis) usually critiques how things operate and are executed. He says I'm too personal and I need to be more down-to-business."
Manolis Alpogianis agreed with that assessment.
"He's a chef. He should worry about the quality and presentation of the food, not be everyone's best friend," Manolis Alpogianis said.
The two brothers have a key phrase for when conversations get heated, like when they debated how to revise the menu for when the restaurant reopens.
"When one of us says 'I feel strongly about this,' the other knows to back off their point," Manolis Alpogianis said. "It's our safety net to keep us from forgetting we're family."
Gus, who first started the restaurant, doesn't often make his presence known at the restaurant, but reportedly has heavy oversight.
"He's the ultimate authority," Manolis Alpogianis said. "Every major decision has to run by him, and he doesn't play favorites."
Kappy's was originally known as Tops Big Boy until Gus Alpogianis and two business associates bought the restaurant 1979 and renamed it using an abbreviation of their last names.
Both sons started working in the restaurant as teenagers, beginning as dishwashers and busboys. George Alpogianis became a cook at age 17 and continued for three years until enrolling in culinary school at Kendall College of Chicago.
After graduating in 1989, George Alpogianis cooked at various Chicago restaurants until landing at Rosebud Restaurant in Chicago's Little Italy neighborhood.
Manolis Alpogianis went another route, studying business. He says he helped open the original Maggiano's restaurant and got the California Pizza Kitchen into the Water Tower building.
"I like to be hands-on and my experience is at the back of the house; he's the Ralph Lauren of restaurants, a mastermind and delegator at the front of the house," George Alpogianis said.
In 2000, George became manager of Kappy's after he and Manolis bought out their father's partners.
The trio was running Kappy's together in front of cameras on Sept. 15 and did their best to be cheerful and play up a few outbursts, but they did pull waiters aside at times to calm tempers or reassign blame on a different Alpogianis.
During personal, one-on-one interviews with Lindsay, all three talked of family tradition and the thrill of fast-paced service.
Kurtis Productions and the Alpogianis family were reportedly connected through mutual friends.

Manulife Financial Donates $100,000 To Alberta Flood Relief Efforts; Matches Employee Donations To Canadian Red Cross
WATERLOO, ON, June 28, 2013 /CNW/ - Manulife Financial announced today that it will donate $100,000 to the Canadian Red Cross to assist with flood relief and recovery efforts in Calgary and southern Alberta. Canada's largest insurer will also match employee donations towards the efforts to the Canadian Red Cross.
"Our thoughts are with our employees, advisors and customers affected by the flooding in Alberta," said Marianne Harrison, Senior Executive Vice-President and General Manager, for the Canadian Division of Manulife. "We hope for their safety and send our best wishes and support to them for the recovery efforts that lie ahead."
More than 175,000 Albertans were evacuated from their homes during the worst flooding in the province's history over the past week, including more than 75,000 in the City of Calgary. Although the waters have begun to recede, many residents are still not able to return home.Volunteers from the non-profit Canadian Red Cross continue to respond on multiple fronts, providing critical services including family reunification, shelter support, and registration for evacuees. The Red Cross is also supporting 10 shelters in affected communities, and has mobilized highly trained volunteers and staff from across the country to support ongoing outreach and relief activities in affected communities. "We applaud the efforts of all of the volunteers who are helping their fellow Canadians get through this difficult time," added Ms. Harrison. All funds collected by the Canadian Red Cross - more than $5 million to date - will go directly to those affected by the flood.

Gregory's daughter, Helen Magnus, carried on her father's research into Abnormals. She collected four bold colleagues willing to push the limits of acceptable research with her, and this group became known as The Five. But The Five did not just study Abnormals; they took their research to the next step, using something Helen had access to thanks to her father: a rare sample of Pure Vampire Source Blood.
The Five did something radical with the Blood to understand the world they loved: They turned themselves into Abnormals. Each was injected with the rare Source Blood, and the Blood gave them amazing Abnormal powers. Only one of The Five became a typical vampire as we know it today. Another of The Five gained Invisibility, another gained the ability to Teleport, and another became a Genius. Helen, herself, became a forever-young Immortal.

Zones 4-8
The Early Richmond Cherry can be expected to grow
in the zones listed. More information can be found on the arborday.org
zone map.
Click to view map
The Early Richmond Cherry falls into the following type(s): Fruit Tree
The Early Richmond Cherry grows to be 15' to 18' feet in height.
The Early Richmond Cherry has a spread of about 10' to 20' at full maturity.
This tree grows at a Medium growth rate.
The Early Richmond Cherry does well in Full exposure(s).
The Early Richmond Cherry grows in Loamy, Sandy, Well Drained soils.
The Early Richmond Cherry has a(n) Rounded shape.
Early Richmond is a hardy, heavily producing tree with that ripens a week earlier than other pie cherries. The flavorful, tart, juicy cherries are used for pies and preserves. Our standard Early Richmond seedlings are budded to Prunus mahalb, while our dwarf seedlings grafted to Prunus besseyi (Sand Cherry).
Chill hours (CU) requirement: 700.
(Chill hours are the average hours of air temperature between 32 and 45 degrees F in a typical winter season). For best fruit production, calculate the chill unit (CU) for your growing zone to be sure it aligns with the CU requirement of this tree.
Chill hours (CU) requirement: 700.
(Chill hours are the average hours of air temperature between 32 and 45 degrees F in a typical winter season). For best fruit production, calculate the chill unit (CU) for your growing zone to be sure it aligns with the CU requirement of this tree.
The fruit is eaten by many varieties of birds and mammals. The foliage is browsed.
Flocks of birds are the greatest threat to the trees. They will eat the cherries at the first sign of ripeness. Nylon or cheesecloth netting draped over the trees as the fruits begin to ripen is an effective deterrent. This technique can be very practical if the trees are kept to a reasonable height by pruning.
The origin is unknown, but it was planted in England in the early 1500s. It was brought to the United States with the English settlers. The term tart or pie cherry is preferred over sour since this connotes bad flavor.
This tree requires moist, well drained soil and has some resistance to drought.
Simple, alternate, elliptic with acute tips, double teeth on margins, smooth and dark green on top, about 3" long. Smaller than sweet cherries.
Bright red medium sized juicy fruit with a thin, light red skin. A generally smooth pit encloses a single seed.
Early Richmond is a hardy, heavily-producing tree with that ripens a week earlier than other pie cherries. The flavorful, tart, juicy cherries are most often used for pies and preserves. Will produce fruit in 3 to 5 years and is hardier in cold climates, resistant to drought, and more tolerant of humid rainy conditions than sweet varieties like Bing and Black Tartarian. In spring the compact tree has white clusters of flowers. A standard cherry tree will produce fruit in 3–5 years. (Self-fertile; however, planting more than one tree is recommended for the best crop.) (Zones 4–8)
Dwarf trees should be staked to ensure tree's ability to bear weight of fruit and protect against leaning.
Fruit Tree Spacing Guide
Each tree is guaranteed to grow, or we'll replace it at one half the original price, plus shipping and handling.
Our trees are delivered with natural bare roots which have been dipped in hydrating gel prior to shipment to keep the roots moist and healthy. As their abundant, fibrous roots aren't confined by a container, bare-root trees get off to a more vigorous start compared to containerized roots which typically need more time to adjust to transplanting. Bare-root trees typically surpass the size of larger containerized trees in only a few years.
Natural root (also called bare root) trees are shipped without soil around their roots. They are shipped when dormant in the spring and fall seasons. We dip the roots in a hydrating gel to keep them moist during shipping.
There are a number of advantages to natural root trees:
The Urban Horticulture Institute at Cornell University has an interesting article about the benefits of planting natural root trees. Look for the PDF entitled Creating the Urban Forest: The Bare Root Method
Potted (also called containerized) trees come in 4" containers.

Nico Rosberg believes Mercedes have a "really difficult" decision to make about when to stop developing this year's car and focus entirely on next season's.
Although Mercedes with solid pace on a Saturday afternoon, it wasn't until Monaco that Rosberg turned a pole position into a grand prix victory.
The team went on to win two of the next four races to enter the summer break second in the Constructors' Championship, 69 points behind Red Bull and 14 ahead of Ferrari.
Rosberg's team-mate Lewis Hamilton is also firmly in the race for the Drivers' title as the Brit trails Sebastian Vettel by 48 points with 225 still to play for.
Merc's rise to the front of the field has put the team in an interesting situation as to when they shift focus to next year's challenger, which will incorporate new regulations including the 1.6-litre V6 turbocharged engines.
And Rosberg is in two minds, saying that while on the one hand he wants a continue this year's success, on the other he reckons next season will be a "huge opportunity" for Mercedes if they get it right.
"This is a difficult question because I'm in two minds," the German told Auto Moto und Sport.
"On the one hand, I find it so cool to come to a race weekend with the best car and knowing 'I can put it on pole and win'.
"It's a great feeling that I would love to enjoy more and wish that we would now push even harder.
"On the other half, half of me thinks next year is a huge opportunity because of the massive changes.
"So we let it be and we can sure get a few good results out of this car even if it remains as it is."
He added: "This is a really difficult decision for the team on how and when to shift resources to next year."
