'Junkyards and abandoned vehicles': 219 Posts
Isn't it beautiful? Some car, huh, folks?
What is it about a junkyard that unleashes creativity? In the last decade or so, junkyard photos have become a genre unto themselves, and there's no small amount of us who would love to spend our days running around 'em, combining parts from different cars into Dr. Moreau-like combinations. And we'll add this video of an unnamed (likely Dallas-area) junkyard that Jason Agnew of Clutch Pictures shot and told us about through our Facebook page. We dig the splicing of the optimistic sales pitch commercials with the shots of the cars in their deteriorated states—nice touch, Jason.
Send us your Abandoned Autos photos
Year after year, one of our best selling calendars is the one with monthly photos of abandoned, discarded, rusting, dilapidated, crusty, forgotten and otherwise mistreated old cars and trucks. Something about seeing the old cars without gleaming chrome and shiny paint seems to delight and excite us—maybe because we see the potential in them, maybe because they make us feel better about our own unfinished project cars, maybe because they seem all that more approachable than the highly polished show cars with "Do Not Touch!" signs illustrated with firearms and Dobermans.
But if we're gonna keep putting the calendar out, we need your photos. Reader submissions keep the calendar going, and there seems to be no shortage of "aesthetically abandoned automobiles" across the country for intrepid photographers to find and document. We even pay $50 to $100 (depending on how we use the photo) if your image is included in the calendar. We just have a few basic guidelines:
* We accept color images only, no black and whites.
* Digital images are the preferred format, at the minimum size we require for print purposes (300 DPI and 1800 pixels wide, or a minimum of 7 megapixels). Prints (4″ x 6″ and larger), slides and transparencies are also acceptable. Your name, address and phone number should be on each image.
* Vehicles must be abandoned.
* An accurate identification (year, make and model) on the vehicle(s), is always appreciated, but not necessary.
* There is no minimum or maximum number of images to submit.
* There is no deadline for submissions, photos are accepted year-round.
* If you'd like your photos returned, a self-addressed stamped envelope with proper postage must be included with your submission.
To submit your photos, email them to firstname.lastname@example.com or mail them to us at
Hemmings Motor News
Attn: Mary Brott
PO Box 256
Bennington, VT 05201
If your image is selected for inclusion in an upcoming calendar, we'll send you a contract specifying terms and payment. Please keep in mind when submitting images that out of about a thousand submissions, we use only 25 to 30 photographs per calendar.
To answer a few questions that got brought up last year, photo releases and permissions to photograph abandoned cars are the responsibility of the photographer, vehicles awaiting restoration are not considered abandoned, we do not accept partial shots, and we do look for photographs from all four seasons.
And if you haven't bought your 2015 Abandoned Autos calendar just yet, they're still in stock on Hemmings.com.
How I made and lost nearly $500,000 on old cars in a few months
Photos by Tom Hardy.
[Editor's Note: Tom Hardy uploaded the following story about four Buick Skylarks that he let slip away to the My Hemmings pages and we thought it worth sharing here. If you have an old car story to tell, My Hemmings is the perfect place to do so.]
I was a nine-year-old boy, headed to Miami in the family sedan for the annual summer vacation rite. When we pulled into the motel and started unloading all the trappings of a big 1950s family, this baby-blue car next to us gleamed in the Florida sun. Wire wheels, continental kit, it had it all. That 1953 Buick Skylark became the model on which all my car obsessions were based for the next 50 years.
In my 20s, I always admired cars with similar lines – those Jaguar 120s, Austin-Healy 3000s, anything that resembled the flow and look of that distant childhood image in my head. But I never saw another Skylark for sale, and I certainly didn't have the money to pick one up. In 1970, I found myself in North Carolina, selling sand for an industrial sand producer. In a copy of Hemming's, there was an ad for a 1953 Skylark about 100 miles away in Roanoke, Va. Money or not, I decided to at least give the fellow a call. I don't remember how much he asked for it – I was and still am a salesman, so the opening price never matters that much – but we settled on $1,100 for a white version of my dream car. It was in near-perfect shape, unrestored with low mileage: an absolute barn beauty. Furthermore, a blue one sat in the backyard, not too much more than a parts car but still intact that I convinced him to throw in! Who would have thought that two '53s would be found in the same homestead, much less for sale?
I wasn't flush with cash, but I certainly was with obsession. I called a banker back in my home state (Tennessee) to borrow the money and wire it over, and then arranged to be dropped off to triumphantly drive my new white stallion back to North Carolina. Not being the wisest in my 20s – much more on that in a moment – I never did pick up the less-alluring parts car, but as it had already sat back there for years the fellow didn't mind holding onto it for a few more months while I figured something out. I had a few blessed months with the beauty as my show car to tool around town, and a company car as my daily driver.
Not content with two '53s, I kept asking around about the Skylarks, and an acquaintance told me about a junkyard on the north end of town where there were a couple vehicles that at least looked similar to my ride. Lo and behold, in a massive junkyard, there were TWO '53s – a white wreck with a replaced Roadmaster left front fender (note the Skylark emblem by the back left wheel) and a black one, complete with continental kit, whose only crime was being old and uncared for. Just one row apart, they were within a week of being burned and scrapped, the junker told me. I bought them both for a grand total of $75.
My original find, that white apple of my eye, served me well but my marriage was going south. I was getting ready for a divorce and to head back to Tennessee. As many will attest, getting a divorce often leads to losing more than one thing we at least, at one time, loved and my four Skylarks would be no exception. Living in an apartment complex, I'd left the two in the junkyard where they rested as much for storage as anything else, and I decided that's where they would stay for the time being. Having to haul all four cars to Tennessee was just going to be too much hassle.
When I got back to Tennessee to start working on the move, I borrowed a box truck with a homemade trailer to haul my show Skylark. After me and my buddies arrived and loaded all my now-single man trappings into the truck, I fired it up to drive onto the trailer… and discovered I was out of gas. The complex was on top of a hill, so we positioned the trailer by the entrance and pushed the Skylark onto it, not realizing that the trailer (being homemade and such) was too narrow to haul the car. The doors butted up against the exposed tires of trailer, making the whole affair completely immobile and impossible to open the doors. My friend steering the car was now stuck inside, since the vacuum-operated windows required the car to be running to be let down. So there we left him, on top of an unattached rat-trap trailer inside a gorgeous Skylark, completely blocking the complex as folks were coming home from work, while we took the box truck to get a can of gas.
Broke, frustrated and without a great many other options, I called up a local friend who loved the Skylark as much as I did and cut a deal. I sold him all four for $750 – taking a loss at the time on cars that, if three were restored and my showboat simply preserved, would be worth well over $400,000 today. To this day, I've never heard of finding four of the 1,690 produced for sale within a 100-mile radius… much less ever hearing about any fellow lucky enough to buy four, in any shape, from a desperate guy in his early 20s for less than a thousand bucks.
Four-Links – Tucker Carioca drawings found?, building a Wildfire, on the death of the tax disc, wall of wrecked cars
* A group of vintage sketches that resurfaced recently may have been done by Raymond Loewy for Studebaker, but Steve Tremulis at Gyronaut X-1 and other Tucker aficionados believe they're actually Count Alexis de Sakhnoffsky's sketches for the Tucker Carioca, Preston Tucker's never realized follow-up to the Tucker 48.
* Speaking of recently uncovered automobilia, Geoff Hacker this week shared a series of photos from Jim Potter's collection of Woodill Wildfire images depicting father-son team Ed and Phil Cox building a Wildfire.
* British motorists saw a significant change in their road tax system this past week as the country phased out the tax disc, a bit of automobilia that has been tied to British cars since their beginning. Curbside Classic has more on the change and its significance.
* The Gentleman Racer this week presented a wall of abandoned cars used to shore up an abandoned runway somewhere in Southern California.
* Finally, speaking of long-abandoned vehicles, this week we got an update from Mark Belden, who came across a couple old pickup trucks – a Studebaker and a Ford – down in a ditch on his property near Kingsbury, New York. Lately he's been working to extract both from their resting spots of half a century, a process that has involved cutting down a swath of trees and some creative come-along work.
Four-Links – stolen Jag returned after 46 years, abandoned Anglia revisited after 40 years, V-8 moped, 2JZ Valiant,
* Several outlets, including Jalopnik, covered the story this week of a New York lawyer getting his stolen Jaguar E-Type back after authorities found it at the Port of Los Angeles along with a few other suspicious-y cars on their way to the Netherlands.
* Also this week, as reported on Ran When Parked, a Finnish guy reunited with his Ford Anglia after forty-something years. Except he'd left the Anglia right where it sits today, and it doesn't look like the little Ford's going to be moving from the spot anytime soon.
* As seen on Engine Swap Depot, a French moped enthusiast decided his Peugeot needed a V-8, though not just any V-8: He took eight single-cylinder engines and figured out how to tie them all together (from the photos, it looks like two inline fours with their crankshafts belted together).
* But not every vehicle needs a V-8. Take, for instance, Dave Buckshaw's 1971 Plymouth Valiant Scamp powered by a Toyota 2JZ straight-six, which Speedhunters recently profiled.
* Finally, the Detroit Historical Society recently ran a few photos of onetime Ford employee and Stout Scarab designer William Bushnell Stout's Skycar, his concept for a simple and affordable airplane.
Four-Links – "Mad Max" caravan crash, NYC's abandoned cars, retro car scene, Woodill Wildfire brochure
* Let's start off this week's Four-Links with this model of the caravan crash from the first Mad Max as done by Shoey on the Australian Automotive Model Builders forum, detailed down to the artwork on the side of the destroyed caravan. Thanks for the tip, Mark!
* The Bowery Boys, a blog dedicated to New York City history, took a look at the epidemic and culture of abandoned cars on the streets of the city's five boroughs during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, when as many as 79,000 cars a year were left stripped and smashed around the city. Thanks to Diskojoe for the story tip!
* Speaking of once unloved cars, The Petrol Stop this week took a look at the rise of what it calls the "Retro Car Scene" in the U.K., where younger car enthusiasts have begun seeking out Lada Nivas, Fiat 124s, Reliant Robins, and other cars once dismissed by the traditional oldtimer scene.
* Like cars sold through dealerships, plenty of the fiberglass cars of the 1950s were promoted with brochures, such as the one for the Woodill Wildfire that Geoff Hacker at Forgotten Fiberglass recently shared.
* Finally, If you haven't yet been propositioned to contribute to somebody's restoration via Kickstarter, GoFundMe, or some other crowdfunding site, you probably will soon. FlatSixes.com has and – at least for one particular Porsche 924 – they recommend staying far far away.
Four-Links – Old Car City, correction ahead?, big GM engines, Toyota History Garage
* Earlier this year, the Sometimes Interesting blog talked with Dean Lewis, proprietor of Old Car City in Georgia, which he claims to be the world's largest (4,000-plus cars) and oldest (late 1940s) junkyard, and illustrated the story with plenty of Galen Dalrymple photos. (thanks to Dan Roth for the tip.)

* Rick Carey, auction editor over at Sports Car Digest, wondered aloud this week whether the collector car market was due for a severe correction that could take place as soon as this coming week, when all eyes turn to Monterey.
* GM's FastLane blog this week took a look at some of the corporation's largest engines. That 702 GMC Twin Six up there? Puny compared to some other engines mentioned in the article.
* Ronan Glon of RanWhenParked recently took in the Toyota History Garage in Tokyo, an interesting display of all sorts of cars in a less-than-expected (for Toyota, at least) setting.
* Finally, Stance Is Everything last week introduced us to the Tachyon Mini, a tube-frame, Mini-bodied, Porsche-powered hot rod.
Connecticut changes laws to allow for pick-and-pull junkyards
Photos by Craig Fitzgerald.
Passing my late-1980s teenage years in Connecticut, grabbing some parts (self-service style) in the junkyards I visited apparently made me a scofflaw.
In 1984, the Nutmeg State reportedly banned pick-and-pull junkyards. Legend has it that the death of a customer in a Connecticut salvage yard in the early 1980s led to changes in the regulations. Not being able to confirm such a death actually happening, we are more inclined to believe that simple fear of litigation in the state whose capital, Hartford, bills itself as "the insurance capital of the world," provided motivation for the change. It may have also been simply part of the growing backlash against junkyards as suburban developments continue to encroach on land that was once far out of town centers that has now become almost entirely residential.
Fortunately, after a period of public comment in 2013, the Connecticut DMV recently recommended relaxing the restrictive junkyard laws. With endorsement from the Connecticut State General Assembly's Legislative Regulation Review Committee, the change took effect in January of this year. Curiously, it appears the state legislature had repealed the law in 2011, but the DMV regulations didn't catch up to the law until this year. Apparently, Connecticut was the only state to ban such an otherwise common practice.
So far, a few yards have opened self-service areas to complement their regular sales. One of those handful is Yale's, Inc., a Montville, Connecticut-based business that sells used parts as well as new parts and also operates a service facility to install those parts.
Recently, we had the chance to talk to Harvey Orenstein, owner of Yale's, to check in on their success with their pick-and-pull section. "It's been about two months we've been operating it," says Orenstein. "It's been slow. It's been quiet. There are a lot of people in the area who don't know what it is. We get people from other areas; for instance, my son-in-law was born in Pennsylvania and as a kid he used to go to pick-and-pull yards with his father all the time. People from out of the area know about it. People that were born and raised here, so to speak, have never heard of it. They have been calling and asking 'How does it work? What do you do?,' things like that."
If they have an excess of a certain part, Orenstein explains, they may haul any similar parts or salvaged vehicles to the part of the yard reserved for self-service. "One of the things that we find is that some of the stuff we have in there, we may have triplicates in my full-serve. I don't need triplicates. For instance, somebody just walked out the door with a Dakota grille. I must have seven of them in the yard. I don't need another one of them. So, we put two or three of them in the pick-and-pull."
In the "something we can relate to" department, Orenstein also sees the self-service part of his business as a teaching tool. Fans of the Haynes manual school of parts replacement ("Assembly is the reverse of disassembly.") will know exactly what he's talking about. "We've had—a number of times—since we've opened," says Orenstein, "people come in and pick a part off and, as they are paying for it or leaving, say, 'That's the best thing. If I had come in to get that part and you had handed it to me over the counter, I wouldn't have a clue how to start to put it on. Now, that I took it off, I know how to put it on.'"
But not everyone is happy. The Connecticut Auto Recyclers Association, an industry trade group, went on the record as being against the change, voicing their concerns about consumer safety, exposure to liability and fear of lost business. To its credit, the Connecticut DMV responded that the change in the law does not require or force a junkyard in any way to open its yard to do-it-yourselfers. It simply becomes an option.
Orenstein, who did not indicate if his business was a member of the trade group, does not share their view. "A lot of the Connecticut auto wreckers were against it," he says. "They do feel it is going to take away from their full-service. I don't know. We were for it. My son and I were for it. We were for it five years ago when we couldn't do it. I just think it's a way of us getting rid of duplicates or triplicates of parts and, pricewise, whatever you sell it for at this point. And the customer gets a deal."
Beyond getting a deal, for fans of auto salvage yards, the hunt and the surprises you find well out into the yard are frequently a big part of the appeal of going to such operations in the first place. How often have you gone to a junkyard looking for, say, a suspension component, and left with a badge or a piece of interior trim that you found on the donor car?
There are many laws on the books in states regulating junkyards. Most of these involve environmental and aesthetic concerns, such as requiring all fluids to be drained and properly disposed of when dismantling cars and keeping yards fenced off so as to not bother the neighbors with the ugly view. In fact, Connecticut has plenty of those type of regulation in both state and local codes.
Fortunately, the Connecticut DMV now seems to trust the residents of the third-smallest state with their own tools. We don't always get to deliver good news on the legislative front in this place, but we are certainly happy to share it when we get it.
Four-Links – Serge and the Sno-Cats, first Kenyan car, L.A. crackdown, Friedman at the drags
* In the 1960s, Belgium used a couple Tucker Sno-Cats – emblazoned with logos designed by Tin Tin artist Hergé – to explore Antarctica. The Sno-Cats were relegated to a quiet abandonment up until recently, when some thief cut out just the logos from the sides of the Sno-Cat bodies, causing an uproar in the urban exploration community. PetaPixel has more on the story.
* Torchinsky this week had a story on Jalopnik about the Nyayo Pioneer, the first car developed in Kenya, which, despite all sorts of promises, never reached production.
* As Michael Satterfield wrote this week on TheGentlemanRacer, an L.A. task force descended on a popular Wednesday night tuner car get-together, ostensibly looking for stolen cars and evidence of street racing, but effectively harassing everybody in attendance about their car's modifications. "It seems California law enforcement is cracking down on So Cal Car Culture like they did in the early 2000's," he wrote.
* The Henry Ford this week added more David Friedman photos to its online collections, this time focusing on Ford at the big-time drags in the 1960s.
* Finally, Scooter McRad this week gathered a bunch of remarkable photos of Porsche's 904, just because.
One man's collection of more than 600 vintage cars and trucks heads to auction
1972 Plymouth Duster 1973 Dodge Dart Sport 340. Photos courtesy Kustom King unless otherwise noted.
Murray King's cabinet making business took him from one coast of Canada to the other, and rather than return to Spruce Grove, Alberta, with empty trailers, King began filling them up with interesting and derelict cars he found in his travels. Before long, his focus shifted from woodworking to metal working, and Kustom King automotive restorations was born. Now, after four decades of buying cars, King will sell the 550 cars in his collection (combined with another 87 cars from A-Riverside, his neighbor's business) in a two-day auction set to begin on Saturday, August 16.
Most auctions of this scope focus on a single brand, but King's collection is far more diverse than that. Chevrolets make up the largest percentage of his collection, with 141 Bowties from 1932 through 1977 set to cross the block, but Ford isn't too far behind. The blue oval brand is represented by 106 vehicles, dating from 1928 through 1969, and other makes include Pontiac (70 cars, from 1937-'72), Buick (50 cars, from 1941-'72), Mercury (39 cars, from 1950-'68), Oldsmobile (36 cars, from 1935-'70), Cadillac (24 cars, from 1951-'64), Lincoln (15 cars, from 1954-'62), Dodge (14 cars, from 1937-'74), Chrysler (12 cars, from 1941-'62), Plymouth (11 cars, from 1932-'73), and GMC (four trucks, from 1941-'81).
Lumped into an "Other" category are brands like Essex, Fiat, De Soto, Packard, Fargo, REO, Willys, Hillman, Studebaker, Austin, Morris, Nash, Rambler, Mercedes and Nissan. Though this phrase is used a bit too much, the Kustom King sale really will offer something for everyone.
And then there's the inventory of A-Riverside Auto Enterprises, located across the road from Kustom King. Though focused primarily on trucks, the 87 offerings from A-Riverside will also include both domestic and foreign automobiles from the 1940s through 2001. Still, truck collectors will want to take heed, as the lots are set to include everything from a 1929 Standard REO SpeedWagon Coca-Cola delivery truck through a 1997 GMC 3500HD, with a wide variety of heavy-duty inventory to choose from.
1957 Chevrolet.
Though Kustom King is selling off its used car inventory, the shop (which specializes in restorations and custom builds) isn't going away. In fact, King advises that with Alberta's current oil boom, business has never been better, as mechanics from the oil fields have plenty of discretionary income to spend on custom cars.
Though the shop once built rods and customs to sell at auctions in the United States, back when the street rod market was strong and the Canadian dollar was weak, the days of building cars on speculation are over. As King put it, "There's too much risk and too little profit" in trying to anticipate what buyers will fight over at auction.
1969 Ford Mustang convertible.
Kustom King also houses So-Cal Speed Shop Canada, as King cut a deal with Pete Chapouris in 2008 to become the exclusive Canadian distributor for So-Cal Speed Shop products. Ultimately, that means the 550 cars on his 5.5-acre property are more of a distraction than a necessity because King doesn't part them out to the general public. Now that he's past the seven decade mark in age, King has also come to the realization that he won't live long enough to see them all restored.
A few of the vehicles in the Kustom King inventory.
When asked, "Why sell the collection now?" King's response was understandable. "I paid $35,000 for this property 35 years ago," he said, "and I've been offered $1.3 million for a portion of it. The question isn't 'Why would I sell?' but rather 'why wouldn't I sell?'"

As for any inventory that remains after the sale, King isn't concerned. The city of Spruce Grove isn't pressuring him to pare down his collection (which, King advises, undergoes environmental testing every few years), and even after selling off a portion of his land, King will still have three acres to house the inventory that doesn't sell at auction.

A-Riverside is in a similar pressure-free position, but is taking advantage of the Kustom King sale to reduce its own inventory. As Sekura Auction's Andrew Reeleder explained, "Ron Stropel (owner of A-Riverside) has always focused on trucks, while Murray King has focused on cars. When the Kustom King auction was announced, it just made sense for A-Riverside to capitalize on shared marketing and a shared auction venue."
The Kustom King and A-Riverside sale will take place in Spruce Grove, Alberta, Canada, on August 16 and 17. For additional details on the sale, including a complete inventory list, visit SekuraAuctions.com.

First Chapter
Living to Tell the Tale
By GABRIEL GARCÍA MÁRQUEZ
Published: November 16, 2003
My mother asked me to go with her to sell the house. She had come that morning from the distant town where the family lived, and she had no idea how to find me. She asked around among acquaintances and was told to look for me at the Librería Mundo, or in the nearby cafés, where I went twice a day to talk with my writer friends. The one who told her this warned her: "Be careful, because they're all out of their minds." She arrived at twelve sharp. With her light step she made her way among the tables of books on display, stopped in front of me, looking into my eyes with the mischievous smile of her better days, and before I could react she said:
"I'm your mother."
Something in her had changed, and this kept me from recognizing her at first glance. She was forty-five. Adding up her eleven births, she had spent almost ten years pregnant and at least another ten nursing her children. She had gone gray before her time, her eyes seemed larger and more startled behind her first bifocals, and she wore strict, somber mourning for the death of her mother, but she still preserved the Roman beauty of her wedding portrait, dignified now by an autumnal air. Before anything else, even before she embraced me, she said in her customary, ceremonial way:
"I've come to ask you to please go with me to sell the house."
She did not have to tell me which one, or where, because for us only one existed in the world: my grandparents' old house in Aracataca, where I'd had the good fortune to be born, and where I had not lived again after the age of eight. I had just dropped out of the faculty of law after six semesters devoted almost entirely to reading whatever I could getmy hands on, and reciting from memory the unrepeatable poetry of the Spanish Golden Age. I already had read, in translation, and in borrowed editions, all the books I would have needed to learn the novelist's craft, and had published six stories in newspaper supplements, winning the enthusiasm of my friends and the attention of a few critics. The following month I would turn twenty-three, I had passed the age of military service and was a veteran of two bouts of gonorrhea, and every day I smoked, with no foreboding, sixty cigarettes made from the most barbaric tobacco. I divided my leisure between Barranquilla and Cartagena de Indias, on Colombia's Caribbean coast, living like a king on what I was paid for my daily commentaries in the newpaper El Heraldo, which amounted to almost less than nothing, and sleeping in the best company possible wherever I happened to be at night. As if the uncertainty of my aspirations and the chaos of my life were not enough, a group of inseparable friends and I were preparing to publish without funds a bold magazine that Alfonso Fuenmayor had been planning for the past three years. What more could anyone desire?
For reasons of poverty rather than taste, I anticipated what would be the style in twenty years' time: untrimmed mustache, tousled hair, jeans, flowered shirts, and a pilgrim's sandals. In a darkened movie theater, not knowing I was nearby, a girl I knew told someone: "Poor Gabito is a lost cause." Which meant that when my mother asked me to go with her to sell the house, there was nothing to prevent me from saying I would. She told me she did not have enough money, and out of pride I said I would pay my own expenses.
At the newspaper where I worked, this was impossible to arrange. They paid me three pesos for a daily commentary and four for an editorial when one of the staff writers was out, but it was barely enough to live on. I tried to borrow money, but the manager reminded me that I already owed more than fifty pesos. That afternoon I was guilty of an abuse that none of my friends would have been capable of committing. At the door of the Café Colombia, next to the bookstore, I approached Don Ramón Vinyes, the old Catalan teacher and bookseller, and asked for a loan of ten pesos. He had only six.
Neither my mother nor I, of course, could even have imagined that this simple two-day trip would be so decisive that the longest and most diligent of lives would not be enough for me to finish recounting it. Now, with more than seventy-five years behind me, I know it was the most important of all the decisions I had to make in my career as a writer. That is to say: in my entire life.
Before adolescence, memory is more interested in the future than the past, and so my recollections of the town were not yet idealized by nostalgia. I remembered it as it was: a good place to live where everybody knew everybody else, located on the banks of a river of transparent water that raced over a bed of polished stones as huge and white as prehistoric eggs. At dusk, above all in December, when the rains had ended and the air was like a diamond, the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and its white peaks seemed to come right down to the banana plantations on the other side of the river. From there you could see the Arawak Indians moving in lines like ants along the cliffs of the sierra, carrying sacks of ginger on their backs and chewing pellets of coca to make life bearable. As children we dreamed of shaping balls of the perpetual snow and playing war on the parched, burning streets. For the heat was so implausible, in particular at siesta time, that the adults complained as if it were a daily surprise. From the day I was born I had heard it said, over and over again, that the rail lines and camps of the United Fruit Company had been built at night because during the day the sun made the tools too hot to pick up.

Love & Economics: It Takes a Family to Raise a Village
In Love and Economics: It Takes a Family to Raise a Village, economist Jennifer Roback Morse explains how the economy, which appears to a series of impersonal exchanges, is actually based upon love. Morse also shows how the political order Hillary Clinton s village depends upon the prior existence of loving families.
Drawing on the experience of neglected orphans, Morse argues that mothers create the basic attachments that lay the groundwork for the development of conscience. Furthermore, only the family can socialize children to use their freedom responsibly. No social program can take the place of mothers and fathers working together as a team. Unfortunately, stay-at-home mothers are often denigrated by feminists and always squeezed by the economy. Love and Economics defends the economic value of motherhood and outlines a better economic way forward.

Auto mechanics have a responsibility when they work on our cars, so there are standards in the mechanic field. Dentists have a responsibility when they work on our teeth, so of course they have standards too. The presence of responsibility is what leads to the necessity of standards. I have always felt very strongly that the field of music should not be one of very few professions left in the United States that is void of any standards at all, because teaching music (especially to a child who may someday apply for a music scholarship) carries tremendous responsibility.
Isn't it interesting that K-12 and college teachers Continue reading

There really is no negative or downside to this product. It is made out of the the SAME stuff as Morccan Oil. It has a higher concentration of argon oil. And in my opinion is a just as good, if not better product. It works great. I have blonde, highlighted hair. It smells amazing and makes it gleam with shine. Never weights it down. Has helped split ends too. Best hair oil I've tried thus far.

okay first off, i have such frizzy hair it's not even funny.. i used to straighten it everyday WITHOUT heat protectant when i was in middle school years ago, and then i dyed my hair blonde... but it wasn't blonde enough so i got it even blonder..... then i'd blowdry it on the highest heat and the nozzle was right on my hair (YIKES!!!) and then what did i do? i decided i'd use the CHI flat iron on my poor hair... and i BARELY used heat protectants ahhhhh!!!! you can imagine how bad my hair was after all the damage i put it through!! it got so thin (it used to dry naturally thick, healthy, shiny, straight) but the texture changed and it was dry/frizzy/curly/wavy/dull and weak! it was horrible so i decided i'd take much better care of it and now it's so much healthier than it used to be cause i've just baby'd it basically. it still can be a little dry and frizzy like when i take a shower and i leave it dry naturally, i put some of this argan oil in my hair that i got from sallys beauty supply and let me just say this stuff is awesome! it smells amazing, it DOES NOT make my hair greasy AT ALL. but i wouldn't recommend putting it near your roots just to be safe cause some people might have really oily hair.. unless you use it as an overnight scalp treatment, some people do it but you can use extra virgin olive oil for that instead and it works much better(i've tried it before).... back to the argan oil, it smooths down my frizzy hair and makes it soft and adds some shine to it since it's soo dull... i love it! and i love using it after my hair is completely dried i put it in focusing on my ends, and use some CHI 44 iron gaurd and flat iron my hair and my hair comes out soooo softtt!! ahh i love it! it feels amazing and SMELLS AMAZING! it's awesome. i'd recommend this to anyoneeeeeeee =) !

This product is a staple for me. It's not as nice as some of the higher end argan oil brands, but the affordability (and availability at Sally's) make it a fantastic investment. I use it three times a week on my frizzy, thick hair (which is colored, highlighted, and tends towards a little dry.) Put a quarter amount in your hand, warm it up for a few seconds, rub it all over your hands, then scrunch it into your hair and you're good to go! Keeps frizzies away and leaves hair soft and smelling nice.

I love this! I love the smell. I love what it does for my hair! My hair is chemically straightened. After several straightenings over the years, my hair has gotten a bit dry and poofy. I use about a quarter sized drop of this on my wet hair after I shower. I let my hair air dry naturally and my hair has shine and moisture again!

I really like this product. Interestingly, it is not your typical silicone product (I usually try to avoid these because they make my hair greasy the next day). The Argan Oil Treatment helps especially with coarse ends and flyaway hair. The best thing is that it softens my hair and makes it shiny without weighing it down. The oil gets absorbed easily which has only ocurred to me when using a non-silicone product. So far I'd say thumbs up for this exceptional hair product!
Update: after several weeks I have noticed built up and frizz! My hait can't stand silicones.

Really helps me tame my unruly, super-coarse hair. Put it in on wet hair after the shower and I can really see the shine when it dries.

I swim 5 days a week, plus my hair is color-treated, thick & frizzy - a recipe for disaster. My routine this summer has been to towel-dry my hair after shampoo & conditioning w/Neutrogena Daily Deep products, apply about a quarter-size bit of this stuff to my shortish hair, and it looks great - air-dries nicely with a wet look that is not stiff, like what I got when I used various gels & mousses. I have not tried this yet w/blow-dryer, but am willing to believe it would protect against heat too. Also, my hair looks nice the day after application - no build-up or greasiness so far. For the price, it's worth a try - apply less rather than more at first, until you see how much you need.
P.S. My hairdresser can "feel" chlorine build-up on her scissors when she cuts my hair, and using this product has eliminated this problem. I give it an A.

This stuff is nice but not amazing. I put it on after I shower, and it does make my hair shiny and manageable. However it only has a little bit of argan oil in it so its not so much for moisture as it is for styling. One of the first ingredients on the list is dimethicone, which is a silicone. Ok, silicones are not really good for your hair yet they do have a purpose. I bought the Josie Maran 100% pure argan oil which is not easy to rub into my thick, curly, and dry hair. So, that's where the silicones come in. They make it easier to put the product in your hair. Your fingers just glide through. So, I use this One N' Only Argan oil more as a styling product to give my hair shine and manageability..and also as a heat protector. Then when I am done w my blow drying, etc..i apply a little bit of the 100% pure argan oil towards the ends of my hair. That's my trick =] I would like to also warn though that too much silicones in your hair over time does cause build up and breakage...so I would be easy on this stuff.

I am on my second bottle. I bought the first bottle, had fantastic results, then decided to try the Creme of Nature version. Big mistake. The two are worlds apart! The One 'n Only definitely wins hands down. It smoothes and defrizzes my dry, wavy, coarse hair while the Creme of Nature just smells nice and does little else for me.
I like to put the One 'N Only on my hair before bedtime. I usually put quite a bit on since I want it to soak in overnight. I put my hair up in a loose bun using a scrunchie and go to sleep. The next morning I wash and condition my hair in the shower and boy, does my hair look good!
I do use a clarifying shampoo once a week to eliminate any buildup that may occur from this product or any of the others that I use.
I believe the 3.4 fl oz bottle costs about $9.95. Next time I'm springing for the larger bottle which costs $10.00 more. I highly recommend this product.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
The DS version of RotI lets us down.
+ 18 playable characters. Some Imperfects are really nice as well.
+ Environments. Lots of destructable parts and big areas. Perhaps the game's best point.
- Gameplay. Clunky and boring.
- Graphics and sound effects.
- Little to no replayability.

That gasping sound you here, is Miami Heat fans holding their collective breath. During the third quarter of the Heat's 99-93 victory over the New York Knicks, James went up for an alley-oop dunk and came down awkwardly after being hit by a defender, he managed to finish the game after some initial discomfort, he's worried but doesn't expect to miss any time. "I was concerned," James said. "I'm still concerned a little bit." "I was able to finish the game strong but things are always a little worse the next day," James said. "We've got to fly to Minnesota, but I believe I'll be in the lineup [Monday], though." Knee injuries are nothing to take lightly, but I expect the Heat to be extra cautious with Lebron because if he is anything less than his usually amazing self, Miami won't be winning anything this year.

Comments about 1953 Canada Silver Dollar AU:
I Bought this 1953 AU Canadian Silver "Canoe" Dollar because 1953 was the 1st year that Queen Elizabeth II's effigy was portrayed on Canadian Coins, and that makes it a key date for Collectors. The coin I got from APMEX listed as AU and there must be a mistake because I've seen BU examples of this coin and this coin is definitely better than some of them! Someone took very good care of this coin, it still has it's original luster even after 61 years!
Service and delivery comments:
As always APMEX shipped the coins in a virtually indestructible package. The coins were placed in individual plastic flips. Then APMEX placed the coins in a bubble-wrap bag - securely sealed shut. Then, with what must be the strongest glue on Earth, the bag itself is glued to the inside of the package so it doesn't thrash and crash around inside the package. Then using the same incredibly powerful glue APMEX seals the cardboard packaging. The packaging is totally discrete, and it always arrives on time or even quicker. I don't worry when it comes to ordering from APMEX. :-)
We provide all of our customers with a refund, return and / or exchange on everything we sell including all bullion and certified coins. If for any reason, you have a problem, please feel free to call us. We will always do our best to accommodate you.

16x10 is an obsolete aspect ratio.

I tend to agree, my primary usage is work and occasionally gaming.. just a bit more screen real estate to work with.. games just "feel" a little weird at 16:9 too, but just what I'm used to I guess. I can totally understand some wanting 16:9 instead though.. for me, I got a ginormous TV upstairs for watching movies so the aspect ratio never bothered me. Guess it depends on your primary motivation.
16:10 is obsolete!? It is by far my res of choice. For desktop monitors it is best by far - Letterboxed movies are fine, and the extra height is great for working.

Masque is a button enhancement engine that will skin the buttons of add-ons that support its features.
Note: You must have an add-on that supports Masque installed in order to use it.
- Browse to your add-ons folder. This should be located at World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns.
- Remove any existing Masque and/or ButtonFacade folders.
- Download the package.
- Extract or copy the contents of the package to your add-ons folder, exactly as they appear in the package.
- Log into the game. At the character select screen, click the Addons button and make sure that Masque is enabled.
- Access the options panel via the /msq or /masque chat commands, or the Interface Options Window.
- Add-on X is outdated and doesn't work with Masque anymore. Can you fix it?
No. If an author stopped development of an add-on, it's probably best that you find a replacement. I will not maintain special compatibility code for add-ons that aren't being maintained.
- I created a skin for Masque. Now what?
Upload your skin to either WoW Interface or Curse and then post a link to the skin on this page.
Masque's documentation can be found here.
Please post all comments in the Masque thread in the forums. For bug reports and suggestions, please post a ticket.
If you would like to help translate Masque, please use the localization system.

I have an issue with Masque that affects SBF (SatrinaBuffFrame). I have my Buff Bar set to 'Interactive' via SBF (this allows me to right-click-remove unwanted buffs). When I have this checked for any of my Buff/Debuff/Other bars the skin and coloration I have chosen in Masque is present where there are no current Buffs...so I simply get an empty box on my screen.
Any help would be much appreciated and I realise that it may be the fault of SBF.
Cheers, Splodey.

Bagnon moved its buttonfacade support to a separate addon. You need to download Bagnon Facade.
Jyces Sep 04, 2011 at 19:06 UTC - 0 likes
Strangely enough, I have both of those addons (ButtonFacade & Masque) enabled. The only addon that is not being affected (since last update) is Bagnon.
Edit: I've tried reverting back to previous versions, but it appears that this did not fix the issue. Perhaps Bagnon changed something in the most recent update (6 days ago) that is causing this problem.Last edited Sep 04, 2011 by Jyces

With the most recent update, Masque is no longer working for Bagnon. Not even showing it under the list of options under Masque. :o
skyesfury Aug 29, 2011 at 08:29 UTC - 0 likes
Is there a way to revert back to ButtonFacade since Masque isn't changing the skins of anything? This update screwed my UI.

I also had noticeable slowdown in my framerate in addition to the issue with autobar not showing up with this new update. Going back to r357 fixed the issue for now.

I have a question about cut and paste in portfolios and sketchbooks
I have a question about cut and paste in portfolios and sketchbooks. Does CalArts and/or other schools frown upon this? I've noticed it in quite a few accepted portfolios and sketchbook. Anyone recommend this method to combine all your best figure drawings/gesture?

For portfolios, combining several images (especially several gesture drawings) into a single composition is a good idea, though I'd do it digitally, not physically. The sketchbook, however, is supposed to be a chronicle of your thinking process; pasting stuff in would mess that up.

I keep hearing im prettier in person?...hmmm
So a little about me, Im am a positive, artsy, down to earth kind of girl that loves learning and taking on new challenges. I can be reserved at first but once you get to know me I'm a big goofball and love a little witty banter. I can be pretty bold, I face most things head on. I believe the most consistent relationship we have in life is the one we have with ourselves, so I am always evolving and growing and changing. Finding someone that truly values growth, and is an open person is important to me. I hope to find someone confident, stable, and passionate about living life to the fullest. Spirituality is also something that is a huge part of who I am. So there must be some common ground there. Also I am a proud mother of a 3 yr old who lights up my life. He is truly a wonderful kid I am so blessed. So this is a bit about me, of course there is so much more but Ill leave it at that. oh p.s. I LOVE food, and am a bit of a "foodie"/ health nut..../hippie? Hahaha just an fyi. So definitely need a partner in crime to go eat awesome food with.

In 1939 they moved to Morocco and were trapped there when war broke out, following World War II they remained in Morocco. Following his father's death in 1959 John decided to migrate to Australia.

For media companies, the early days of the Web resembled a land grab, as they fought for the online audience. But today, the people running major content sites are more like geologists hoping to strike oil in uncertain terrain.
Two years after the dot-com mania began to fade, Web executives are still trying to reconcile one of the medium's best-known dictums — that information wants to be free — with the fact that businesses exist to make money, and that to date, most Web sites have not.
So instead of geological survey maps, they're scrutinizing user registration lists and demographic studies, looking for clues that might indicate how they can open readers' wallets without scaring off their audiences.
As a result, the amount of online material available only through subscriptions or other fees is increasing, although the people running many prominent Web sites say they are not planning to charge for basic access to their sites.
"We're not doing that any time soon," vowed Washington Post Co. chairman and CEO Donald Graham, speaking a recent conference held by research firm Jupiter Media Metrix.
Even executives at The Wall Street Journal online, the best-known news site charging subscription fees for basic access to its offerings, think their own approach will remain something of an exception to the rule.
"There is always going to be free competition in news," says Neil Budde, publisher of the WSJ's online edition.
Go There Free, Then Pay the Fee
Such forecasts come with strings attached, however, since the broad pattern in the industry — apparent to frequent Web users, and reinforced by comments from an array of media executives — is clear enough. Many large sites hope to turn profits by offering a basic layer of free content, in order to draw a wide audience, while charging for additional content or services.
"Our basic hard news product needs to be free," says Larry Kramer, head of CBS' Marketwatch.com. But he quickly added: "We're going to test subscription products. Sites giving away things for free that don't attract revenue actually will go away."
For instance, the popular portal Yahoo!, which provides many Web users with their news, is charging for more and more of its services.
And among other sites following a two-tier model: CNN.com, which announced two weeks ago it would charge for all video clips on its site, and this Web site, ABCNEWS.com, which already charges for some video clips.
Both sites offer video via RealNetworks' RealOne SuperPass, which aggregates clips from several sources and costs $9.95 per month. RealNetworks shares the revenues with the companies providing the video clips.
"The trend is that companies want to have diversified revenue streams," says David Card, a senior analyst at Jupiter Media Metrix.
Ad Slump Prompts Sites to Package Content
This two-tiered model is shared by Web sites belonging to organizations that traditionally charge for subscriptions, like newspapers, as well as those previously in the habit of giving their audience news for free, like the television networks.
The Web site of The New York Times, for instance, offers its daily news for free, but charges for archive searches, packages of op-ed pieces, classified ads and a special crossword section. The Times' Web czar, Martin Nisenholtz, says those elements have helped the site turn an operating profit for two consecutive quarters.

Bush's First Year
With George W. Bush's first 365 days in office almost behind us, how has he performed? He may not be Reagan, but he isn't Clinton, either.
11:01 PM, Jan 3, 2002 • By DAVID SKINNER
HOW GOOD was George W. Bush's first year as president? Superb, really. And in comparison with the two most interesting first years in modern memory, Bush's was much, much better than Bill Clinton's, but not quite so brilliant as Ronald Reagan's.
Bill Clinton's first year was a mixed bag. The economy started to improve and NAFTA was passed, but Clinton's popularity barely crested over 50 percent and then only at year's end--after his approval ratings had dipped into the thirties. Pre-Dick Morris, Clinton's leadership was ponderous and embarrassment-prone. Missteps included gays in the military, a running-scared strategy in Somalia, and indecisiveness in Haiti. The year ended with Clinton announcing his doomed health-care initiative and answering a fresh round of questions concerning Whitewater.
Reagan's first year was the high-water mark of modern presidencies. On the day he took office, American hostages in Iran were released. Not much later, he fired the air traffic controllers, an important and public victory.His first-year budget included the historic tax cuts that nudged America out of recession and marked the dawn of the longest period of economic expansion in history. He also passed deep spending cuts even as he initiated a huge military buildup--and all of this while Democrats controlled the House of Representatives. Boldness inside Washington and abroad.
Coming into office, George W. Bush promised to be a uniter, not a divider. With an unprecedented third straight month of 80-plus approval ratings, he has succeeded wildly. It is not Clintonian to observe that Bush would not be doing so incredibly well if the world hadn't changed on September 11. (It is, however, Clintonian to begrudge Bush the mixed political fortune of holding office when tragedy struck.) In any case, Bush has not idly benefited from the terrorist attacks.
Nevertheless, conditions have shifted to favor Bush's talents. The mushy president who teared up on Oprah and promised to set a new tone in Washington has had occasion to show manly resolve. When he raised the bullhorn at Ground Zero on September 14, it was clear he'd be a comfort to America and a scourge to her enemies. Months after apologizing twice to China for the perfectly legal actions of the American military Bush has figured out that peace is often about not saying you're sorry. He signed up dozens of countries for contributions to the war on terrorism and made great progress with Russia even as he pressed ahead with missile defense and jettisoned the 1972 ABM treaty. The cooperation he has sought and failed to win in domestic affairs he has largely achieved abroad.
An administration whose highest ambition once was to cut taxes has begun to lead the world. In turn, its prospects seem to be improving at home, but only slightly. The don't-give-an-inch opposition of Democrats appears to be ever so out of sync with the times. Along with Bush's high ratings, approval numbers are up for the whole Republican party. Bush's December strategy of facing off with Senate majority leader Tom Daschle seems to be working. The vaunted Democratic grip on media coverage has loosened during the war. But in the meantime, many of Bush's nominees are still being held up in the Senate. And while the president got his education bill passed, vouchers were killed in the process.
More important than the fate of any one piece of legislation, however, is the kind of president Bush has become. Before September 11, his signature policy was going to be his faith-based package, tearing down the legal barriers that kept good works and public works separate. Noble, but not exactly captivating. His biggest success before the war was the tax cut. The cuts had problems (too small and timed to take effect years from now), but even if they hadn't, they would only have demonstrated fiscal competence--something Republicans are supposed to have.
Since September 11, Bush has sat at the head of the table. He is formidable, he is commanding, and within one year he has established a distinct presidential style that could be the equal of any in recent times. He is not the impromptu speaker Clinton was or the visionary Reagan was, but he is first-rate at making friends and defying enemies. His skill at delegating responsibilities to worthy deputies has helped a lot. There have been stumbles. The anthrax scares could have been handled more ably.

But overall, presidential leadership doesn't get much better than this.
