Slide 1 / 3
PB: For starters, we just want to know how you got into the industry. We read online that when you came to New York, you were at Max's Kansas City. We'd love to hear a bit about that. Carlos Falchi: It was a wild and fun place - and a lot of work. But, I was really lucky. When I first came to NY I worked in restaurants, I was a young immigrant. I went to Florida, actually Fort Lauderdale. I was in Brazil and started working when I was 13, and when I turned 18, I wanted to take a vacation. I had a cousin who just came back from Ft. Lauderdale and said "it is wonderful, you have to go there". So, I went to visit my cousin in Florida, I didn't speak a word of English. My cousin had to write down a few lines as to how to get around. I got there in 1965, arrived at the hotel, and worked there for a while. When they closed the hotel, I moved to upstate NY. Finally, I got to NYC and I decided to work at Max's as a bar boy - I didn't know what that meant, but sure, I'd done it before, I could be a bar boy. So I literally worked my way up through Max's. I made my own clothes, made friends, it was the place to be. When I got the graveyard shift, I was able to meet all sorts of people. People started to ask me where I got my clothes and I said that I made them, so people started to ask me to make them clothes. I started to meet artists, I met Miles Davis and I made a pair of pants for him - he loved them and I got to meet him. Miles was going to open at Carnegie Hall and I got to dress him for that event. I worked with him for 2.5 years. Through Miles I met Tina Turner and all different artists. I became friends with all of them - even Andy Warhol and later he did 2 videos for me. So that's how it all started - right there at Max. I was told I needed to go to Bendel's on 57th st. I brought in my clothes and some bags with me - how I carried my clothes. They looked at everything and loved everything. Then they asked about the tote I was carrying - it was all patchwork from the clothes I made. They asked me to come back and bring my bags. At this point, I didn't know bags at all, but I just put things together - unlined, free formed and hand stitched. They went crazy and they loved it! So, Bendel's was my first store - I had no concept of business. In 1973, they opened a boutique for me. PB: So, you weren't in handbags before, it was something you came on to? CF: Yes, it was an accident. PB: With clothing, were you always making clothing? CF: I was always making my own stuff from a very young age. My mom did wedding dresses. So we grew up next to wedding dresses and next to fabrics. But, I was in the military so it was very different for me. I never studied design or went to fashion school. PB: So, it was really all something you came across? CF: I was always into color. The reason my leathers became quickly known, because when I first started everything was dark, beiges and browns in the summer. But, I would take chlorox, soak the leathers in my bathtub so it would take out some of the color and then I would add ending die. It's something I still do.Slide 2 / 3
PB: When you paint some of these handbags, how long does it take you? CF: Well, I am pretty quick - I'm used to it. I pain the skins first and then build the bag. My hope in the beginning was to change every color. Also, I had to use the piece of the skin I had because I didn't have any money. I had to use what I had. PB: When you started the boutique, were you still doing clothing? CF: I did clothing, but Bendel's really pushed me into the handbag business. At that time, there really wasn't such a thing as a new handbag designer. To everyone else, it was like I was doing something that was completely nuts. PB: Now you stick to bags. I heard you were getting back to shoes, are you going to do that again? CF: Yeah, shoes and gloves. I've been doing gloves for a while. PB: You've been at this location for a while? CF: I have close to 7 years. But I have factories all over the place - all New York. PB: When you were talking about your clothing, you mentioned patchwork. What was the style of clothing? CF: Everything was pretty free form. At first, I didn't even know how to put zippers in the pants. I would lace everything up, it was very rock-n-roll. I've not big into hardware. Even with the handbags, I very rarely use hardware. PB: Right, I very rarely see hardware on your bags. You really utilize the skins. CF: In the olden days, we really never used hardware - I wanted the focus to be on the skins. PB: How many pieces do you have in the Metropolitan Museum of Art? CF: Five. Basically bags. This is another place where America gives such great opportunity - to evolve. PB: You have your own niche. Do you have a favorite exotic skin to use? CF: I am a product of the 60s so I am always very aware of the environment and animals. Everything that I use here is farmed, nothing is wild. I am very involved with the farms. The ecological part of the business is something i am very interested and involved in. The species I use is based on how available they are. PB: Working with the material, do you have a favorite or least favorite? CF: No, not really. I like everything. At this point, if there is something I want to use or work with, I will make it work. The skins tell me a lot. I look at it, I see it, I talk to it. My kids make fun of me because I talk to the skins. PB: Are all of the skins easy to absorb the color? CF: It has been a long process to learn how to use and work with color. I don't use any harsh chemicals or dyes. It is important to touch and use the bags. The more you use it, the softer it will feel. Don't be afraid to touch the bags and really use the bags!Slide 3 / 3
PB: You've really established yourself as a designer of our time who really is known for exotics. People go to you when they are looking for a great exotic bag. CF: Right. I started with leather, and when I used to go to look for leathers, I would buy a bunch of pieces at a time. One time, I was going through the leather I just bought and at the bottom I found a folded up piece of snakeskin and thought, "Oh my god!" - that's really how I got turned onto exotic skins. I hand-painted them, turned it into belts. But my leather guy didn't have snakeskin scraps, he had to give me a name of someone else who cut boots out of crocodile and ostrich. So I would grab pieces and start my collage - all from pieces left over from the boots. Absolutely my treasure! And to this day, people make fun of me because I still hold onto all the scraps and try to use each piece. PB: You use everything, nothing goes to waste? CF: That's right - nothing goes to waste. That is all how this became a business. PB: This is your American Dream? CF: Absolutely! Only in America. I thought I was only coming for one year, but I came to stay. PB: Do you have a particular philosophy you use when it comes to your creations? CF: I love art, I paint, but I think the main thing is to be able to transform everything into something else. I look at everything and see something else. All along it has been that way - the colors, the textures - the evolution of the materials. We like to push to the limit - constantly working to turn something into something else. I still make my own patterns and bags - I still do all that. I sit and stitch, hammer, work with the material. That is my pleasure I love doing it. PB: Could you imagine yourself doing anything else? CF: No. Here's the thing, leather gets in your blood. Talk to anyone who works with leather, a shoemaker, whoever, leather gets into your system. I feel like it goes back to when man used to cloth himself. I guess I am prehistoric. PB: NYC is also part of your blood? CF: Yes, I love the energy that is here. Everything, the walking, the things there are to see, everything can be an inspiration. You don't need to go too far. PB: Do you still get to get home to Brazil? CF: Not as much as I'd like, but I do go whenever I can. But, I have to go to Europe a lot. But NYC is my home. PB: Your connection to Bendel's is still thriving? CF: Yes, it is still very strong. It is a different Bendel now, but still very involved. PB: What are three things you can't live without? CF: Pair of scissors. I don't need much, my colors, my dyes. It would be my work for sure, but obviously my babies, my daughters - 22 and 24. I guess they aren't quite babies, but they are still my babies. PB: Are they following a similar path? CF: Yes, one of them is here with me - doing painting - doing her Masters at Parsons. I didn't force, I didn't ask, it just happened. And the other one works for Estée Lauder, she is a colorist and really loves it. PB: Thank you very much Carlos, we really appreciate you taking your time to chat and show us around!-
This is the best interview yet!!! Thank you so much
Thanks for doing this great interview! and do you happen to know how much the painted python bag on page 3 costs?? And where I can lay my hands on one? Even my boyfriend who was next to me reading a mag said.. "whoa.. WOW thats great."
http://www.purseblog.com/ Vlad
Evster, the hand-painted bag you mentioned costs $1570 (all thumbnails are clickable for more info!). Inquire here for availability:
I met Falchi at a personal appearance at Neiman's in the DC area. He was a very lovely person and the bags are beautiful. For the price though, I would have expected a suede lining. The quality of the Jimmy Choo exotics is comparable and better constructed imo for the same price.
It's good to see a talent from my country doing so many beatiful things. It's a pity he doesn't come to Brazil as much anymore.

jane, while I appreciate your input, I will tend to rather side with the word of a person I actually met, instead of a comment posted anonymously.
http://www.purseblog.com/ Megs
Jane –
I will follow up and look into it. I don't see why anyone would lie… I really do not think he would, but I will ask. Where did you get your info from?
Thank you for publishing this lovely interview! Mr. Falchi did a line that he marketed on QVC about 10 years ago and I used to love watching him make his personal appearances. He was so creative and entertaining and gracious. In those years there may not have been so much pressure from the tv shopping channels for their high-end designers to cut cost corners for the mass market. I splurged and purchased an amazing all shearling Carlos Falchi bag from QVC. It was a limited edition — pure, undyed, untreated shearling. Imagine a huge pouch with the shearling fur on the inside and the "raw" suede on the outside. Fabulous! Alas, it was an enormous bag and I ended up selling it just a few years ago. Thanks for the memories….!
great interview! – love his way of using everything and let nothing go to waste
I had the opportunity to meet Carlos in person and he is everything as you have described him – a first class professional and a wonderful person. His handbag products are to die for, and he manages to cover various price ranges, from microfiber to exotics.
i love the interview. got to know the designer that i love so much. the bags are awesome, and i would love to win one, since money is so tight, and i could use is desperately!!!!! please, pleae, please………
It seems he was really put on earth to do what he does. You can understand it from the passion with which he speaks and the amount he gets involved. I would prefer to give money to buy one of his bags than one from a massive house with a huge production line.
Veronika Becker
Hi! I recently purchased my first Carlos Falchi bag from Neiman Marcus. It is the crushed lamb poof bag and it is absolutely to die for. Such a gorgeous piece of art. About 4 or 5 years ago, I passed on a motorcycle bag that I saw on the Neiman's catalog. That bag has haunted me for years. Since becoming a member of the purse forum, I have collected Louis Vuitton extensively. However, after finally taken the plunge to the Carlos Falchi crushed lamb, I have decided to branch out and discover other fabulous designers. Thank you purse forum Meg and Vlad for publishing this interview! Veronika
What a fascinating man and interesting interview……thank you!
Great interview!The bags are very beautiful!!!! thank you Vlad and Meg!!!
Brenda Giguere
I enjoyed this interview. Among other things, it reminded me why I love the art of the handbag… and stories of success, too!
A truly inspiring story! I love his handbags!
He is an artist, whose canvas is his handbags
Great interview; thanks to Megs and Vlad for sharing this! I really admire that Carlos Falchi does not stray from his humble beginnings of using scraps to make art/handbags. What a true artist and a true 'green' capitalist!
I just wanted to share some first hand info about Carlos. I have worked for him for a few years and he is a wonderful man. An incredible designer- with an amazing eye and full of creativity! The office is a family environment- and always full of fun! He really wants everyone to enjoy their job, treats them great, has a wonderful family– and it makes you want to work even harder! Not to mention the bags are beautiful- and made right here in our office! It is so cool- and I think everyone should have a CF bag- it is $$ well spent and you will have it for the rest of your life! I hope everyone gets to meet him someday! :)

Salve Carlos!

cardo BK-1more details…"Using the Bluetooth communication protocol, the new BK-1 allows for hands-free use of mobile phones and MP3 players and offers voice-activated, two-way, or three-way bike-to-bike communication capabilities. This means you can have a chat to a friend, also wearing a BK-1, while you're riding along the road" 21-11-2012 |
cardo BK-1more details…"In questo panorama riportiamo l'esempio del dispositivo Cardo BK-1 DUO che consente la comunicazione interfono tra cinque ciclisti. Cardo BK-1 DUO si connette al telefono cellulare, al GPS e al lettore MP3 mediante connessione bluetooth. La distanza coperta dall'interfono si aggira intorno ai 500 metri e i ciclisti potranno comunicare tra loro in modalità "audioconferenza" 20-11-2012 |
cardo BK-1more details…"The hands free feature is excellent; I love how it eliminates the need to ride side by side with another rider, or inches behind them to carry on a conversation. The rider in front can more clearly relay information back about obstacles in the road, or upcoming turns while the rider in the back can better alert the group " 1-11-2012 |
cardo BK-1more details…"Now, you can easily talk business handsfree with everyone who's anywhere in the world the very moment you're conquering the Col du Galibier, And it gets even more spectacular: even while you're having trouble keeping up, you can continue driving a hard bargain via an intercom system with up to 2 other hipster managers." 1-11-2012 |
cardo BK-1more details…"Why they'll love it: This clever gadget allows cyclists to communicate with each other as they ride." 11-7-2012 |
cardo BK-1more details…"The phone interconnectivity was also surprisingly handy. You'll hear a call come in through the headphones as it overrides your music or conversation. Stay quiet and the incoming call will be ignored, say something and you'll take the call. Again the sound quality is excellent and the other person won't know that you're actually whizzing down the trail. If your phone has some form of voice activation, you'll also be able to make calls while you ride." 25-10-2012 |
cardo BK-1more details…"…We soon discovered the immense value that being able to efficiently converse with your pal inherently brings. This realization became most evident when we tucked into a paceline on a windy day and carried on a conversation as casually as we would sitting in our office chairs…it's a terrific gadget for casual cyclists to enjoy and can truly add something unique to your riding experience." 3-10-2012 |
cardo BK-1more details…" …Breslin and Fernandez did find a few things that caught their eyes. The pair thought the devices could be optimal for patrol training classes." 17-9-2012 |
cardo BK-1more details…"The system lets cyclists communicate via Bluetooth for up to a 1,600 foot range. That means those conversations on the road can happen even when cyclists are single-file, or not one right behind the other. It will be helpful for friends going on different rides to chat, when they're in range." 13-9-2012 |
cardo BK-1more details…"The Cardo BK-1 Duo is a well built product. As soon as you open the padded, zippered case it screams quality. There nothing on the Duo that feels cheap. The range is good for mountain biking and great for road cycling and the battery life is superb." 10-9-2012 |

Over the course of any long career, it's inevitable to observe changes. I started teaching in 1972. Suffice it to say, there are significant differences in technology, sports, resources, awareness of learning differences, and some pedagogy (though I maintain that good teaching always has been good teaching and is mostly dependent on the connections between teachers and children).
Perhaps what has changed the most, however, is the expectations of parents: expectations of themselves, expectations for their children, expectations of teachers, expectations of other children.
When I was a child, my mom and dad looked to other, more experienced, parents for direction. Wayne and I did the same. When we observed children behaving well consistently, we figured their parents probably had good lessons to share.
What hasn't changed over time is the nature of children: They are distinctly individual little characters with personalities of their own. Like children since time began, they make good choices and, occasionally, poor ones. Sometimes, despite our very direct instructions and reminders, they act in ways that are, frankly, embarrassing. Quite likely, cave children did the same. What I believe, deeply, is that all children want to be liked and to do what is right.
As children, we were all subject to some teasing. My two brothers and I sometimes picked on each other then complained about each other. Mom and Dad knew us pretty well and were usually adept at discerning the truth. At school, there were those with whom my children played easily and some with whom relationships were more edgy.
As a teacher in the schools in which they were enrolled, I had the dual advantage of observing our girls in action. Sometimes they were, in fact, excluded from a game or spoken to rudely; sometimes they were the initiators, though memory of such frequently eluded them were they to voice a complaint later.
The teachers in our lives were involved and observant. Did they catch everything? Absolutely not. Did we, as parents, see or hear everything our girls did to each other? No. One of the key messages we received as children was that we should — and could — work through our own problems.
Adults were available to offer assistance when it was really needed, but usually their first response was to ask (1) what we might have done to contribute to the problem, and (2) what we should to try to solve it.
In no instances were the age-appropriate, often annoying, actions of my siblings or classmates considered "bullying." Conflicts exist. Neither conflicts nor young children finding their way constitute bullying. Many children have strong personalities (much like their parents and something to celebrate); many of them — no, pretty much all of them — require consistent work in terms of social graces, treatment of each other, and respect for themselves and others.
There has never been a generation of children that didn't require such work — yours and mine included.

Bright Side of the Road Brown-Eyed Girl
Sydney based
Van the Man had it's beginnings in the rocking pub trio "Hogan & The Beckettes."
Many nights were spent belting out "Moondance," "Brown-eyed Girl" and "Gloria," to name a few, at such venues as "The Alley Cat," "Brewer's Elbow" and "Dr. Redbirds."
In it's first full year as an up and running band "Van the Man" had a residency at "Star City" (Bridie O'Reillys,) played at the "Sydney Olympic Official Homebush Celebration," sold out "Harbord Diggers" for the first time in 5 years and was sponsored by Guinness to tour the North Island of New Zealand for 3 weeks in October/November 2000.
Music is about emotion, love, sorrow and all the fun things in between. The people who surround me on stage are not only magnificent musicians but truly great friends. I hope their dedication to "Van the Man" will reward them in all the ways they hope for themselves.
Steve Hogan, Founder & Frontman for "Van the Man"
Van The Man perform all the hits and classic songs from a career spanning three decades including his all time favourites:
You haven't had a night out until you've stood in the audience and sung (in unison) "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You".
The amazing success of this show is attributable to the uncanny vocals of it's lead vocalist, Steve Hogan. A long time Van Morrison fan and successful performer he was consistently amazed by the reaction he would get whenever he performed a Van Morrison tune.
It was natural that this observation and the likeness of Steve's voice to Van Morrison's that he would put this show together.
Band line-up:
Steve Hogan - Lead Vocal, Acoustic Guitar & Mouth OrganI was given my first guitar when I was 6. I went to two guitar lessons but the teacher hit my fingers with a ruler so I spent the next 4 weeks sliding down a grassy hill near the studio in my cardboard guitar box. My Dad eventually caught me wagging lessons and that was the end of my formal guitar training. I picked the guitar up again at age 22.
I came up with the idea of "Van the Man" being a "BIG" band in opposition to all one-man sequenced bands (of which I have been one).
Dave Hatton - Bass Guitar Started playing at the age of 17. Joined "Van the Man" in 1998 after being stolen by Steve Hogan from "Treacle" and haven't looked back. I invented the "air base technique" for bedroom rock heroes.
Brad Merrick- Lead Guitar Started playing trumpet at age 5, started playing guitar at age 12, studying both classical and rock styles. Grew up playing guitar and jamming with my older brother and then I mastered the splits at age 13 while playing rock guitar in my bedroom jumping off the bed and onto the floor.
Dave Grindley - Keyboards Started classical piano lessons age 12, finished classical piano lessons age 12. David holds an Associated Diploma in Contemporary Music. He has worked professionally as a musician for 13 years, lectured in music and songwriting in Australia and Singapore.

Trailer for The Lady courtesy of Apple.
The Lady is the extraordinary story of Aung San Suu Kyi and her husband, Michael Aris. It is also the epic story of the peaceful quest of the woman who is at the core of Burma's democracy movement. Despite distance, long separations, and a dangerously hostile regime, their love endures until the very end. A story of devotion and human understanding set against a backdrop of political turmoil that continues today. The Lady was written over a period of three years by Rebecca Frayn. Interviews with key figures in Aung San Suu Kyi's entourage enabled her to reconstruct for the first time the true story of Burma's national heroine.

A chain reaction occurred that started with me seeing a '34 coupe in Europe and ended with me reading a stack of books by Batchelor, Montgomery, and Southard. My "personal style" with everyt...

To read the rest of this blog entry from The Jalopy Journal, click here.
i first went out an bought a sport coupe...i was all excited that i could make it a roadster.... my biggest mistake was.....IT WASN'T A ROADSTER.....and was never going to be!! i learned real quick to get what you want and dont settle for whats available a local old hot rodder gave me his entire collection of hot rod magazines....i already had a few books on the subject so i read and read and studied and studied (still do) you can see that i tried chopping it...then tried roadsterizing it.....nothing worked so i completely cut it up and made something out of it that i could sell I learned an awful lot on this car but the biggest thing was to build what you REALLY want..... pics---> http://www.suhrsc.com/1928sportcoupe I'm on to my 3rd car right now with ALOT more knowledge, ideas, and experience hopefully each one is improving over the last Zach
I guess I was lucky. Starting at 14 I NEVER had the money for what I wanted so I had to buy it broken. Learned quickly that it had to be pretty complete. Or lots more money and time would be required Had to learn to do it right the first time ........ if it broke I couldn't afford to pay for a 'second chance' So study became very important I also learned that I wasn't lucky enough to get away with doing stuff halfway on a dirt floor like many of my buddys. Any 'corner cuttin' resulted in more $$$ spent in the long run Forty-six years later still have to do things right the first time
Blowing up a fresh built 383 in my dream car, I was 26 just starting a family, making zilch and bought a solid 1966 Chevy II. After getting it running from its 10 year slumber, I bought a set of Hooker Super Comp Fenderwell Headers and a dual oil filter relocation set-up. Get everything done, cruise it up and down Dixie Highway here in KY, then the motor starts knocking like mad (did'nt take long). Limped it home pulled off the hood, started listening for the area of the knock, it was everywhere!Upon further inspection I leaned up against the oil filters and they were cool as a cucumber, not good! I removed the inlet and outlet lines, switched them and what do you know the filters were to hot to touch in seconds. Moral of the story, never trust a half blind man whe installing key parts, and always, always, always double check your work! I killed the motor, sold the car, and learned an expensive valuable lesson, the arrow pointing in is the inlet,the one pointing the other direction is the outlet...Thank's half blind man (dad)....Still love him.
I was dumb enough to use "engine flush" in a sludged engine...plugged up the oil pump screen, starved the engine of oil and broke a couple of distributors... The first engine in the car had a worn timing chain.... I never did figure that out until after replacing the motor... I had to adjust the timing almost daily.... I guess that's what happens when your 17 with no autmotive experience.
Not really a screw-up per se, but my first couple of cars were "bodyworked" with Bondo over rust, window screen, etc... anything but welded. Typical kids crap. I thought I did fine at the time.
I was educated by a shoebox also. I was 15 when I bought a 50 2 dr. from an older friend. It had a Studebaker Golden Hawk engine in it. I started it up in the dead of winter, sounded good, shut it off (no antifreeze) gave him the $25.00 and towed it home. First nice day, filled it up with water, lit it off and let it warm up. It sounded like every rod in it was knocking once it got up to temp. Shut it off, sold it for $50.00 (full disclosure) to another friend who only cared about the body. Lesson: if you're buying something because of a feature, take the time to make sure you're getting something usable.
It's amazing how many of us from different generations still started out with a shoebox Ford. My first car was a 1951 tudor that I took as pay from a local farmer whom I had worked for for three days. Amounted to about $35. Some of us were coming back from a basketball tourney one January night, colder than hell and the old flattie overheated. I pulled into a station and topped it off with water, You see where this is going right? Cooled down for a little while so we headed off again, temp soared again, back to the station, more water. this scenerio repeated itself about five or six times till I finally decided screw it and drove it home. Since I was late Dad was waiting up for me, told him the story and we went out to look. The presure had ruptured several radiator tubes and there was a block of ice on the back of the radiator that had stopped the fan. We opened the petcocks on the side of the engine and only steam came out. After telling me what an idiot I was and how I had ruined my car we turned in for the night. Next day I surveyed the damage in the daylight. After some silver seal and fresh antifreeze, I proceeded to drive the old girl for another year and a half. sometimes ya get lucky. I am still a stickler for cooling system upkeep. Another time I'll tell ya about how a buddy and I found out that using what is on hand isn't always the best idea. It involves a straight 8 Buick in a '49 Ford. I still chuckle when I hear someone say, " You can't do that" or "it won't fit". Sometimes just 'cause you can, doesn't make it a good idea. GV
I have learned not to buy the wrong car. In the end you will end up dumping the same amount of $$ into a 4 door that you will into a 2 door. You will spend the same amount hopping up the engine, changing the brakes, upgrading the wheels on a '63 Valiant as you would a '52 Chevy (if not more). that being said.. do it for love man. - Joe
Mine was a "people" lesson. Had a buddy offer to help rebuild an Olds engine for my 32 pickup (Back in 1961). We did a good job and I learned a lot (first build). When it was over, he "billed" me for $30 bucks. I paid him (nearly a weeks pay back then) but was really steamed. Eventually I realized it was a fair price, and I would have paid it gladly, if we had discussed it up front. Since then I always ask up front, and if it is "free" help I make sure I repay in kind. Sometimes I insist on paying, if I feel I won't be able to reciprocate. I just don't take anyones help for granted, it is always appreciated and repaid. Broken relationships are a hell of a lot harder to fix than bronken parts.
I've learned you don't learn anything when everything goes right. That's why I have learned soooo much. And I too had a 49 ford tudor that was a little above my skill level.
Learning to wire a car in the '60's...darkness, smoke, and sparks!! Here's my learning curve from looong ago, resembling to a startling degree the learning curve of an amoeba in a maze bashing into the wall til it finds an opening... I was maybe 14, and in the process of taking over our faithful family '48 Ford, which was a few months older than me. I had begun some formal education on the subject, buying and reading all the rod magazines I could afford, and devouring the WONDERFUL little Spotlite books, including some on electrical issues. I read everything I could find, which wasn't much, and a lot of that was beyond me; I read it anyway, and the words stuck in my head until I could grasp the meaning, often years later. My human resources for education were nearly nil... suburban Virginia was all high level Government and Military people with clean fingers, junkyards were distant and could only be reached with parental cooperation, friends who were into cars knew far less than I did. No one in my world knew anything much about early Fords, and car books in the library were pretty much of the coffee-table sort. My agenda was clear...any idiot could see the big chunks ot petrified insulation falling off the original witing in the car. The first rod wiring kit, I believe, appeared in the magazines! Tom Senter, later a very influential rodder indeed, had packaged a wiring kit with actual instructions and supposedly everything needed in one box! I don't remember price, but likely it was around $20... That was about my life savings for the next three lifetimes, but my father could see the need and swung the bill, also getting me a decent soldering gun and my new best friend, a little battery powered continuity tester from Hong Kong. The box arrived from California...it was startlingly small, about like the current $5.00 flat rate box from the Post Office, and contained several spools of wire, a pint of terminals, and some really cheap terminal strips and fuse holders. Instructions were a bad copy of a skimpy single page of typescript. Kinda like the little semi-instruction sheets you find stuck into Mr. Gasket blister packs nowadays... No problemo! I was hot to trot, and of course started by ripping the original harnesses out by the roots, eliminating all hope of tracing anything... I began to note a systematic lack of correspondence between the instructions and the electrical geography of an early Ford. Fortunately, I was smart enough to base my efforts on the original hard parts, and not switch to the dismal little connector strips, and I had a not-quite-the-right-one, but close enough to think from, diagram from some little reproduced Floyd Clymer Ford book. Using that, a good bit of creative building on the Spotlite manuals, and dumb luck I was able to connect most of the electrical bits of the car to electricity, and soon had a car that would start, run, and illuminate many of its bulbs. The problems were just beginning...Ford was six volts. Kit was twelve, with wires on the skimpy side for that. This was not discussed in the instructions...and then, there was the turn signal situation, the most complex thing in an early car. The instructions and I were equally clueless about that, and what seemed logical wasn't...bad interactions between brake and signal functions! Road trip...after dark. Half a mile out headlights began to flash on and off rhythmically as the circuit breakers tried to stave off fireworks. I had begun a force-fed education in amperage requirements! A looong thrash with every book I had eventually led me to understand the wire-size clues in the Ford diagram, and my first adaptations to the awful kit began. Trips to the store, studying numbers on reels, finding decent terminals, eventually replacing practically all of the kit into a fairly workable but extremely messy harness. Pretty much exhausted, I left that mess alone til I was on my own in college. I had gathered a bit of sophistication on wiring, including a blinding flash of an intellectual leap that tamed the brakelight--turn signal system. I spent an entire night with my turn signal switch and circuit tester, mapping out connections between the 7 terminals in every position til the truth dawned... I began to patch, now routinely using wires a gauge UP in size from original instead of three sizes down. My crude bundling and routing remained, untill one day the clutch pedal ate the entire rear harness, nearly choking me in smoke before I got off the road. Time to do it right!! Olde Ford parts places were beginning to pop up all over, and there were huge stashes of original NOS parts, very cheap. Hmmmm...Ford did it better than Tom and I didit, for sure...I shelled out a few books for NOS cowl, front, and rear harnesses. I happily went to work installing the perfectly wrapped, smartly designed harness, all still bearing original Ford part number tags. Perfection seemed only a few hours away... til I noticed the plink-plink-plink sound of bits of petrified insulation hitting the bottom lip of the dash as I bent each wire to its terminal. New lesson...coupled to awful realization...a harness that had been sitting on a shelf since 1948 was exactly as deteriorated as one that had been sitting under my dash since 1948! NOS wasn't going to save my ass here...I was back on my own, with only my soldering iron and a bit of experience on my side. I grimly marshalled my cumulated lessons: Figgerout wiring size requirement, go UP from there for the important stuff. Good terminals, crimp--solder...sleeve. Copy original bundling and pathways...Ford done reeeal good there. Get dimensions RIGHT, as making things overlength to ensure adequate fit led to violations of the good routing lesson and SMOKE. I bought the right stuff, ran individual single wires over each pathway to become length standards for each bundle, I drew easy-to-follow diagrams of individual circuits to replace the hideous everything on one page diagram. Garage was unlit and without electricity, so I took my length wires and chunks of car like the instrument cluster to the dorm for the actual work. I even ran and bundled in extra wires for potential additions like backup light. Assembled my harness and everything installed and worked perfectly on the first try...after only about 4 years of grim electrical failures and bloodshed. Nowadays, it would have been easier...I could probably purchase an actually workable kit, or fairly easily find my way to good diagrams and parts sources from a vastly bigger aftermarket. I could even buy brand new repro harness, made with modern insulation, if I wanted too. And of course there's the HAMB, so I would not have been isolated from people with actual knowledge... But I wouldn't have learned nearly as much as I did through 4 years of darkness and fire... And I bet I can still sit down and draw out a complete and workable wiring diagram for a fully functional old style circuit..breaker harness for any early Ford...or dictate accurate trouble-shooting instructions for the same
I`ve finally learned that you have to be patient...from start to finish. and BTW....if you have never made any mistakes in life,then you don`t know what your missing!
Hey, Of all the piece of shit cars that Ryan ever drug home, this old Ford was absolutely the WORSE. Of all the piece of shit cars he drug home, he was more excited and animated about this one. It reminds me of an old scottish saying by the poetic Robert Burns: "the best laid plans of mice and men oftimes go astray". This car was a great learning experience for a very young hot rodder. It taught him what was possible without indepth knowledge and experience. It also demonstrated that a man has to have the right tools to do a job right.
thats why i am yet to get my hands dirty... anyone can restore a car... but it takes a real man to cut one up... im scared to ruin the things i own by the smallest mistake, i hope when i am ready to take on a challenge like that - i hope i have the support of like 15 of you guys...
Nobody likes to admit the screw ups, but they are part of the learning curve. My first Hot Rod attemp involved a '55 pontiac engine and trans and a '36 Plymouth body and chassis. I started the project with an image inspired by the "little books" I collected as a preteen. I was 14 and it was 1962. With much dissaproval from my parents I proceeded to rip both the victems apart and figure out how to merge the two. With no mentor,no welding skills, and not much for tools, I was headed for disaster and didn't realise it. It was during the engine extraction that my folks made a crutial decision for me, "get that shit out of the yard". Just because the swingset came crashing down and the weight of the engine almost crushed me they got a little excited. I then moved to a sturdy boxelder tree and hung my trusty cable ratchet hoist and started anew. I did finally get the engine resting between the Plymouth frame rails, listing a bit, but in there. I finally decided that the project was beyond me until I could learn to weld and buy some tools. The last I knew of the Plymouth was some guy made the frame into a trailer. Don't recall what happened to the engine. It was the first of many Hot Rod projects. It was the only one that ended in disaster but it did show me the reason to learn skills and life lessons I use every day.
My first cool car was a '49 Club Coupe too. (actually the third, but the others were total POS drivers). Anyway, my dad found the coupe from a preacher for $165 in 1967. I bought it with paper route money. Flathead/stick and in like-new condition. Immediately put a fenton floor shifter in it, cut a coil up front and it was so fine. In few months I discoverd that if I pulled the choke knob out to almost closed, it would idle like it had a BIG cam! So naturally the next thing was to drill holes in the perectly good muffler. Then remove the perfect front bumper. Then add ridiculous long shackles out back. Then, (I can't believe I'm confessing this) I bought some paper-thin huge M&H slicks from a local racer. Sooo, to get them on the back - yep! - I took a saber saw and cut the perfect quarter panels open in a nice giant arch to clear'em! Added all the right decals to the windows and it was a gasser! Right :-/ First time I rev'd her up a dropped the clutch I spit the whole gearbox and driveshaft on the ground. As the tow truck drove away my dad slapped me on the back and said "Well, your bike is still in the shed, kid." Aaackkk!
Ah, grasshopper, Lesson #1 It will take twice as long to finish as you think it will. Lesson #2 It will be three times more expensive than your budget. Lesson #3 Don't listen to what anyone else says, do it because YOU want to. PS Make sure your house and contents insurance is paid up. Read carefully the sections entitled damage by fire and flying objects. Oh and while your at it make sure you have ambulance cover and extras hospital cover. Get the name of a good micro-surgeon. Enjoy the ride.
Hearing about others screw ups is soothing. Seeing all of other peoples screw up on cars I have owned has made me pretty nervous to screw up something. I think the worst screw up of mine is cutting the hole in the pan tunnel of my VW with a big dull drill bit surprise it was super ugly and too big and having to weld in patches so the mangled up part I cut out would fit in again. And cutting the old rusty floors out of my Olds bigger than the replacement pans. These are all things that aren't visible and can be fixed just like before But man I need to learn to measure twice and cut once!
Geez Ryan, that really hits home. When I think back to when I first drug the 51 home, I had zero experience with a full build. Sure I owned a few cars over the year that aside from screwing on a new doo dad or just keeping it running, I didn't do much. Who the hell did I think I was thinking I was going to actually build a car? I remember shuttering when some of my more car savvy friends suggested a full frame off build; how overwhelming. If I was to tackle a similar project, I wouldn't do it any other way. Some of the folks around here have amazing talent, unfortunately for me I have to rely on sheer determination. It might take me awhile, more money than the next guy might spend, and several attempts to get it right, but I'm too stubborn to give up now (not to mention, cheaper to finish than to sell an unfinished project).
I bought my 53 bel air and realized after i had it torn apart ripped all the wiring out started the nova stub that really i should have turned it into a driver to start with now i have a car in a million peices that will likely be sold because it needs so much rust repair. only time will tell at this point what i will do with the car. I can find something that is a driver for 2000 is it cheaper then starting with a rotten body?
My tub started as a tudor with a small chop, then a big chop, then I didn't fit anymore. Figured it was easier to take it all the way than try to weld some back in. This one is still teaching me and probably will be for a few more years....
best compliment I ever recieved was from one of my buddies. "Much as you fuck up, you were bound to get it right sometime." I'm still at it, and still fucking up.
I see a few of my mistakes here. I'm sure they aren't unique by any means. The first car I ever did my own work on was my 64 T-bird. I bought it almost 15 years ago for 1350.00. I could've gotten a convertible in the same shape for only a little more back then. After all the effort and money that went into it over the last decade or so, an extra couple thousand bucks for the drop top would seem like a drop in the bucket, and the car would be worth twice what I have in it instead of half. The worse part was that I didn't learn shit. Putting together an old Thunderbird is like building a model. There's a slew of new parts, tons of used parts, clubs, lots of guys who know the cars inside and out, and many original owners and service techs are still around. There's also loads of them still on the road, in all conditions. Any mod you can think of has been tried, and there's a healthy aftermarket for performance and safety equipment for these cars. And here's the big one: Thunderbirds are all the same. There are virtually no meaningful variations in a given year, so everything fits. So I wrapped up that experience with a greatly over-inflated sense of accomplishment, and went straight into my next project (a 1960 Merc Commuter Amblewagon mild custom). It wasn't until after I had the whole car apart and painted that I realized there was practically no support network for what I was working on. It's been over nine years since I bought it, and it should be on the road in a month or two. Here's the worst of it. After wrapping up this project, I once again feel like I've met the challenges successfully. No doubt I'll take that to the next project.
Thats what I love about this place , we all have the same thing wrong with us! I bought an overpriced 49 f1 when I was 16, It had been a hot rod for a long time, lots of people had molested it, but I loved it! I worked on it all the time but I didnt really make it better, just messed it up my own way. I eventually sold it for next to nothing , That truck taught me alot, I hope its still out there, every time I start a new project I think of that truck, My plans for it, and my skills at the time.
I think I'm about too make that very same mistake with my very first shoebox. Never chopped a top before but what the hell, looks easy enough, right???
Hmmm bought a '64 GTO in 1986 for $1450 and had $50 left over to fix all the things wrong with it. Car sat a lot.

I've never had eggplant chips before. I would love for you to link up at my Linky Party via: www.ourdelightfulhome.blogspot.comMrs. Delightfulwww.ourdelightfulhome.blogspot.com
Ours kids learn about "Today I Ate A Rainbow" at school and we try to get as many rainbow colours in as we can. Thanks for a new purple recipe! And thanks for sharing at Scrumptious Sunday!
We love Kia and Hannah with "Today I Ate a Rainbow." They are so inspiring and make healthy fun.
I've never done eggplant chips, but we did zucchini chips (I just used the dehydrator) last summer when we had zucchini to use up, and we really liked them!
These get crunchy and satisfy that salty craving in a healthy way. We have made them several times since!
Audrey wants to hear from you!

Carroll honored as city's top volunteer
Majel Carroll, president of the Stone Soup Thrift Shop and an advocate for those in need, has been honored as Cottage Grove's 2012 Volunteer of the Year.
Carroll also has been part of the Cottage Grove's Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Committee and the South Washington County Partnership group, which is a group of various service providers and organizations that help families. She has also been the volunteer executive director for Stone Soup Thrift Shop since the mid-'90s.
"It's humbling," said Carroll. "It's not something I look for, the awards. If I had to have somebody write something on my tombstone it would be she left this place a little better than when she came in."
A Special Recognition Award also was given to a husband-and-wife team, Gayle and John Brunkow, for their work on the Cottage Grove Strawberry Fest.
Construction starts on Wal-Mart center
Ground was broken last Wednesday on the new 180,000-square-foot Wal-Mart Supercenter in Cottage Grove.
The groundbreaking signaled the start of construction in earnest on the site of the old Cottage View Drive-In movie theater on Douglas Point Road off Hwy. 61.
The store is expected to be completed by spring 2014, and will employ about 300 people. It will anchor the new Shoppes at Cottage View retail center.
The sign, screen and projector equipment of the movie theater have been moved to the Little Log House Pioneer Village in Hastings.

Experts available to quell bee swarms
The arrival of spring means honeybee colonies start to build up their numbers, and if they run out of space in their hive, they swarm.
Beekeepers say don't be alarmed if you come across a swarm of honeybees — they are doing what honeybees do and are not remotely interested in humans. In fact, before leaving their hive the bees fill up their stomachs with honey and are rather mellow; their sole intention is to find a new home to build up a new colony.

I think your point is the crux of the issue.
The Texans organization stuck it out too long with Carr and now with Schaub. Why? Because that is what the owner wanted. It it one thing to take a chance on a QB, but it can be disastrous when you don't cut bait at the appropriate time.
As for the other personnel moves, a team is going to win some and lose some. Excluding the QB position, the Texans organization has done a decent job.
Last week, the Texans played their best game of the season. If Kubiak improves his play calling and gets more innovate in his offensive schemes with the sole objective of scoring TDs and getting first downs when it matters the post, the Texans have the roster to be very competitive.
The best way to improve this situation as quickly as possible is to start Case Keenum and improve the play calling. With that, the rest of the stuff will take care of itself.

Editor's Note
Shirley Booth stars in this classic series from the 1960s as Hazel, the live-in maid to the Baxter family. Patriarch George Baxter (Don DeFore) is a successful lawyer who nonetheless abdicates power when he walks in the door of his home, where Hazel rules with undeniable but hilarious skill. The show was based on a cartoon strip in the SATURDAY EVENING POST, and it was rounded out by Whitney Blake as Dorothy Baxter, George's wife, and Bobby Buntrock as their son, Harold.

Newcastle winger Gutierrez leaving to save his Argentina World Cup hopes
Jonas Gutierrez wants to leave Newcastle as he fears a season in the Championship will hamper his chances of playing at next year's World Cup.
The Argentina winger, a £5.2million signing from Real Mallorca last summer, has been linked with a move to Greek side Olympiakos.
The 27-year-old, who was on the radar of Italian giants Roma last month, told The Times: 'I want to leave Newcastle and go to a club which will give me the chance to fight for a place in my national team.
'I believe if I play well in the Champions League (Argentina boss) Diego Maradona is going to take a look at me.'
Michael Owen, Habib Beye, Sebastien Bassong, Obafemi Martins and David Edgar have all left St James' Park since the Magpies were relegated.

A Farmer Remembers Lincoln By Witter Bynner
Well, I was in the old Second Maine,
The first regiment in Washington from the Pine Tree State.
Of course I didn't get the butt of the clip;
We was there for guardin' Washington—
We was all green.
"I ain't never ben to the theayter in my life—
I didn't know how to behave.
I ain't never ben since.
I can see as plain as my hat the box where he sat in
When he was shot.
I can tell you, sir, there was a panic
When we found our President was in the shape he was in!
Never saw a soldier in the world but what liked him.
"Yes, sir. His looks was kind o' hard to forget.
He was a spare man,
An old farmer.
Everything was all right, you know,
But he wasn't a smooth-appearin' man at all—
Not in no ways;
Thin-faced, long-necked,
And a swellin' kind of a thick lip like.
"And he was a jolly old fellow—always cheerful;
He wasn't so high but the boys could talk to him their own ways.
While I was servin' at the Hospital
He'd come in and say, 'You look nice in here,'
Praise us up, you know.
And he'd bend over and talk to the boys—
And he'd talk so good to 'em—so close—
That's why I call him a farmer.
I don't mean that everything about him wasn't all right, you understand,
It's just—well, I was a farmer—
And he was my neighbor, anybody's neighbor.
I guess even you young folks would 'a' liked him."

Abstract: | This report is a contribution towards a better understanding of traffic measurements associated with e2e delays occurring in best-effort networks. We describe problems and solutions associated with OWTT delay measurements, and give examples of such measurements. A dedicated measurement system is reported for delay measurements in IP routers, which follows specifications of the IETF RFC 2679. The system uses both passive measurements and active probing. Dedicated application-layer software is used to generate traffic. Pareto traffic models are used to generate self-similar traffic in the link. Both packet inter-arrival times and packet sizes are matching real traffic models. A passive measurement system is used for data collection that is based on using several so-called Measurement Points, each of them equipped with DAG monitoring cards. Hashing is used for the identification and matching of packets. The combination of passive and active measurements, together with using the DAG monitoring system, gives us an unique possibility to perform precise traffic measurements as well as the flexibility needed to compensate for the lack of analytic solutions. The real value of our study lies in the hop-by-hop instrumentation of the devices involved in the transfer of IP packets. The mixture of passive and active traffic measurements used, allows us to study changes in traffic patterns relative to specific reference points and to observe different contributing factors to the observed changes. This approach offers us the choice of better understanding diverse components that may impact on the performance of packet delay as well as to to measure queueing delays in operational routers. |

Winter Park is a Home Rule Municipality in Grand County, Colorado, United States. The town population was 662 at the 2000 census, although tourists and seasonal workers significantly increase the population.
It is home to the Winter Park Resort, a well-known ski resort which is owned by the City and County of Denver and managed by Intrawest. The town and resort was served by the Ski Train of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad (D&RGW).
Although the town center is at about 9,000 feet,[5] Winter Park, using administrative boundaries as a measure, became the highest incorporated town in the United States after the July 2006 annexation of 5,214 acres (21.10 km2) of Winter Park Ski Resort to allow new on-mountain improvements. This claim is disputed since Winter Park has no residences above 9,550 feet (2,910 m), while contiguous residential neighborhoods in Leadville, Colorado extend to 10,360 feet (3,160 m) and in Alma, Colorado to 11,680 feet (3,560 m), and even Alma's town center is at 10,361 feet (3,158 m).
The area also has abundant cross-country skiing opportunities, including Devil's Thumb Ranch. In the spring and summer, Winter Park is known for mountain biking, concerts, hiking and fishing.
Winter Park is located at 39°54′15″N 105°46′45″W / 39.904071°N 105.779198°W,[6] at the southern end of the Fraser Valley.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 8.1 square miles (21 km2), all of it land.
It is approximately 9100-12,060 feet above sea level, and is considered sub-alpine country. It is completely snow-covered for about six months a year.
As of the census[7] of 2000, there were 662 people, 318 households, and 129 families residing in the town. The population density was 82.1 people per square mile (31.7/km²). There were 1,231 housing units at an average density of 152.7 per square mile (59.0/km²). The racial makeup of the town was 96.53% White, 0.15% African American, 0.60% Native American, 0.91% Asian, 0.45% from other races, and 1.36% from two or more races. Hispanics or Latinos of any race were 1.36% of the population.
There were 318 households out of which 14.8% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 33.3% were married couples living together, 5.0% had a female householder with no husband present, and 59.4% were non-families. 38.4% of all households were made up of individuals and 4.4% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.04 and the average family size was 2.67.
The age distribution was 12.5% under the age of 18, 11.5% from 18 to 24, 44.0% from 25 to 44, 27.0% from 45 to 64, and 5.0% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 36 years. For every 100 females there were 143.4 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 143.3 males.
The median income for a household in the town was $44,000, and the median income for a family was $80,660. Males had a median income of $35,221 versus $27,500 for females. The per capita income for the town was $36,699. About 3.3% of families and 9.2% of the population were below the poverty line, including 6.8% of those under age 18 and none of those age 65 or over.

Winter Park began as two small settlements, Old Town and Hideaway Park. Old Town came into existence because of the construction taking place on the Moffat Tunnel. Hideaway Park was a village that began in 1932 and quickly developed into the fourth town in the valley. Hideaway Park was developed and built by L.O. "Doc" Graves, a merchant in the valley since 1922. Doc began by building 26 tourist cabins and a cafe and service station called "Doc's Place." He also installed a water wheel on Vasquez Creek to generate all the electricity necessary to operate his business. The village grew rapidly, considering that the entire country was in the depth of a serious depression at that time. The construction of a water tunnel parallel to the existing Moffatt railroad tunnel had a positive effect on the local economy. Over a stretch of two years, the village added three more businesses — a saloon, a garage, and a nightclub — and nearly doubled in population.
On August 1, 1978 the town was founded and became Winter Park. In 1980 Winter Park grew again incorporating the West Portal Village. The West Portal Village became the home of the Mary Jane Base and various other buildings at the resort such as the Iron Horse Resort.
Most recently, the ghost town of Arrow, at the western base of Rollins Pass, was annexed into the town; this marked the beginning of the massive Arrowhead development.
