A weird hybrid of a model. The box says a turbo Firebird. The instructions say its a Trans am. You get the wheels that were seen on the early turbo 79-81 models, but the hood of non turbo. Not sure about the solid roof to. Also came with lake pipes.
So I chopped off the lake pipes and found some 78 Snowflake wheels to make it definite non turbo 79.
Sadly the decals were rubbish. The moment they left the paper they shrunk.and wilted up. So had to use 78 trans am decals. Also scratch built some tail pipes.
that someone would hurry up and make a neat foldable keyboard for the
iPhone.
throw in Bluetooth & a good stylus and i'd be sorted!
fantasizing with a Sony PEGA-KB100 keyboard which i had for my
CLIE PDA years ago. worked a treat!
if only i could adapt it.
Hongdae
and words can't bring me down.
it took me a lot of courage to do this picture because sometimes i feel like i have low self esteem and that i can't measure up to what everyone defines "beautiful" or "pretty" as. but you know what? i am beautiful, no matter what they say. and you are beautiful too. or handsome. :D but yes, everyone is 漂亮 and 帅 (pretty and handsome in chinese :P) and never let anyone tell you otherwise. :)
Pontiac Trans Am, Smithland, Kentucky. I may be mistaken, but I think those are actually newer Z-28 wheels.
I am thinking of them like a wrestling double-act. If anybody could take on the UBU/Tusk Juggernaut, it's this pair. That Doge is a menace.
Equal opposing madnesses, even, though I know which side I would be on, or rather am on, having yet to affect sublime indifference.
So here they are, the oiled-up marathoners, Spartans 'R' Us, assuming the 'Ready Position', even, with the lead firmly placed in their revolving pencils (there's an image).
Rest assured, both are wearing loincloths over (not backless) athletic pouches (Invisible details), and no jiggery pokery is suggested (none at all, at all, to be sure).
CIGAAUH? (Can I get an Amen up here?)
You know those dream boards that people make when they wish to do/have something? Well, I've always wanted to camp in Big Sur and here I am. Sometimes you just have to "do it".
I used to be an ordinary, but hardworking citizen of Kandahar, but I had nothing... NOTHING!!!.... now I am a warlord, and I have got everything... I have got guns, women, men also (as my sidekicks, what were you thinking, you're sick), now I am famous, I have got drugs, I grow opium .. I have bombs, and bunnies with laser eyes (well, to be honest, I am working on the laser bunnies .. not quite there yet but its on top of my to-do list) ... heck .. there is no limit, I'll even become the president. Haha... Muhahahahah MuwahAHAHAHAHAA!

"This naughty world is due for a good deed" - Jakob Dylan - I told you I couldn't stop
On a serious note: I don't know what the fuck is up with the Taliban anymore. They are not the Mujahideens who fought the Soviets and brought about some form of law and order in Afghansitan, but then that shit 9/11 thing happened and American Administration had to do something... I mean, they had to ... they could have just blown up the moon or something... but they started there glorious war on the poor and helpless people of Afghanistan, and I watched it all on TV... I followed the war on TV for an year... but after an year, after seeing more than 100,000 civilian deaths, children killed and mutilated, thousands of refugees dying for aid in my own country (who, by the way, are the same people my naitonal army is fighting a war against these days, irony ... irony) ... I watched the massacre of Mazar-e-Sharif, I saw the bombings of ToraBora, I saw Daisy Cutters and Cluster Bombs being dropped by Amercian forces.... I saw the fall of Kabul in to the hands of Northern Alliance Soldiers (Americans weren't on the ground ,they were in the air,) and the massacre that took place in the streets of Kabul... and then Guantanamo Bay happened ...and .... There, I switched off the TV and I haven't watched the News in the last four / five years. I heard the war started again in Iraq, ofcourse, finding weapons of mass destruction was more important than... may be, peace in middle east... of course, it was more practical and easy to find WMDs in a desert then ... may be ... peace in the middle east which might stop a lot many wars.... but then, what the world be doing if there is no war... so many people will lose their jobs, so many organizations won't have anything to do, I mean, it takes a lot of people employed to make all them bombs and bullets and guns and planes...and even more people to distribute them .... and so many people who get paid to use them.... and then so many people involved in handling all that money ... media... blah blah.. blah.
I have realised I don't need to watch the news to know what the hell is going on. I can do better with a little lesser bullshit. So many years later, and still nothing good has happened.

Jakob Dylan - Valley of the low sun
If I ever came close to do anything as good as this song, I will die a happy man
www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPGufnx7N8E
We'd feel much better if we sunk this treasure
And laid our armor down
These precious metals and these captain's letters
They are no use to us now
In the day we struggle with fatigue much greater
Than any offer was
We bow down and worship these bandits and cowboys
Unable to hold their own guns
I know that soldiers are not paid to think
But something is making us sick
Onward and steady
Able and young
In the valley of the low, low sun
In the shade we wander along a highway's shoulder
Into the back of beyond
Burning the daylight into a pastime
That's too wise to come more than once
It's boom boom thunder ain't no sleep coming
Out mining a slippery world
Of snow covered beaches and junkyards of diesel
And bombers named after girls
On bridges of black ice not built for the rush
There's a new kind of beast getting up
That's stranger than fiction
Speaking in tongue
In the valley of the low, low sun
Hold on for the slow turning
Smoke if you've got 'em boys
This is bottom hiding out
Down under the stairs
Tomorrow has come
Like it's drunk on the blood
Of the men who have dared to be there
The earth's still climbing as it keeps on grinding
Its way up around the sun
As cool water crashes down to the masses
Bootlegged and bottled like rum
My dreams are humble, lean as arrows
Streetwise, ready, and fair
As we bum rush the ages tied to the rails
On high seas not fit to be sailed
Whatever we've taken does feel like heaven
But baby, we just look like hell
Act like you mean it where paradise was
In the valley of the low, low sun
Act like you mean it where paradise was
In the valley of the low, low sun

Am 5. Juli 2014 konnte ich diese Aufnahmen vom „Alfred-Lion-Steg“ aus machen.
Die E-Lok 120 114-4 der „DB AG“ umfährt „ihren“ im Bahnhof Berlin-Südkreuz stehenden Zug. Kurz darauf gelangen mir die Fotos vom nordwärts fahrenden ODEG-Zug auf der Linie RE 4 sowie vom in die gleiche Richtung strebenden S-Bahnzug.

This is a 4" x 5 1/2" mounted photo taken in Joliet, Illinois probably around the early 1900's, if not sooner. A very jaunty pose. Most likely a National Guard man who may have served in the Spanish-American War.

Föhr (Fering North Frisian: Feer; Danish: Før) is one of the North Frisian Islands on the German coast of the North Sea. It is part of the Nordfriesland district in the federal state of Schleswig-Holstein. Its area is 82 km², and its population is 8,800, making it the largest and most populous German island not reachable by car or railway.
The only town on the island is Wyk on its south eastern coast which is a popular seaside resort. In addition there are sixteen tiny hamlets on Föhr, three of them with very old churches from the 12th and 13th centuries. A major part of the population in the west of the island speaks, besides German, a local idiom of the North Frisian language known as Fering or Föhring. A local peculiarity is that almost all place names end with the suffix -um (e.g. the villages Nieblum, Oevenum,, Utersum, Wrixum etc).
The island is accessible by a car-ferry connecting the mainland port of Dagebüll and the town of Wyk (approximately 10-12 sailings a day). There also are frequent car-ferry services to the neighbouring island of Amrum and seasonal pedestrian ferries to Heligoland, Sylt and the Halligen.
During the Second World War, Allied submarines sank several ferries which ran aground on the beach. After the war, the British occupied the island.
A popular attraction on the island is the "aqua wyk", a wave pool and health spa in Wyk.

Föhr liegt südöstlich von Sylt und ist die zweitgrößte deutsche Nordseeinsel. Unter den nur per Schiff oder Flugzeug zu erreichenden deutschen Inseln ist Föhr die flächenmäßig größte Insel mit der höchsten Bevölkerungszahl.
Föhr wird „Die grüne Insel” genannt, da sie durch ihre Lage hinter Amrum und Sylt vor den stürmischen Einflüssen der Nordsee relativ geschützt ist und sich daher die Vegetation gut entwickeln kann. Sie ist etwa 6,8 Kilometer breit und 12 Kilometer lang und hat eine Fläche von 82,82 Quadratkilometern. Der Umfang beträgt etwa 37 Kilometer. Die höchste Erhebung liegt 13 m ü. NN. Es handelt sich dabei um den Sylvert (Salvert) im kleinsten Dorf von Föhr, Witsum.
Föhr ist, wie auch die benachbarten Inseln, eine beliebte Urlaubsinsel. Vom Fährhafen Wyk zieht sich am Südrand bis etwa zur Mitte der Westküste ein 15 Kilometer langer Sandstrand. Nördlich und nordwestlich der Insel befindet sich die Schutzzone I des Nationalparks Schleswig-Holsteinisches Wattenmeer.
Föhr gehört zum Kreis Nordfriesland und hat 8.649 Einwohner (Stand: 31. Dezember 2003).

L'isola di Föhr (frisone: Feer; danese: Før) è una delle isole Frisone Settentrionali. Si trova poco lontano dalle coste tedesche a sud-est dell'isola di Sylt e fa parte del distretto del Nordfriesland nello stato federale dello Schleswig-Holstein. L'isola è lunga circa 12 km, larga 6,8 km, ha un'area complessiva di 82 km² e conta una popolazione di circa 8800 abitanti, il che la rende l'isola più grande e popolosa della Germania non raggiungibile tramite automobile o collegamento ferroviario.
Föhr è, come le altre isole dell'arcipelago, una meta turistica piuttosto popolare e su questo basa gran parte della sua economia. La parte settentrionale dell'isola è una zona protetta facente parte del parco nazionale dello Schleswig-Holstein Wattenmeer. Föhr è chiamata anche "isola verde" in quanto è piuttosto protetta dalle mareggiate del mare del Nord trovandosi dietro le isole di Amrum e Sylt e quindi vi si può sviluppare una rigogliosa vegetazione.
Il centro più abitato sull'isola è Wyk (conosciuto per le sue terme), ma sono presenti altri sedici centri di minore importanza alcuni dei quali presentano chiese risalenti al XII e XIII secolo. L'isola è divisa in undici municipalità.

Wer nur mit seinem Gott verreiset
1. Wer nur mit seinem Gott verreiset,
Der findet immer Bahn gemacht,
Weil er ihm lauter Wege weiset,
Auf welchen stets sein Auge wacht.
Hier gilt die Losung früh und spat:
Wohl dem, der Gott zum Führer hat!
2. Gott hat sich gar zu sehr verbunden,
Dass er will bei den Seinen sein.
Kein Ort wird in der Nacht gefunden,
Er zieht mit ihnen aus und ein.
Durch Feuer und durch Wassersnot,
Ja selbst auch mitten durch den Tod.
3. Er leitet uns mit seinen Augen,
Er gängelt uns mit seiner Hand,
Bewahrt vor Dingen, die nichts taugen,
So überdeckt uns sein Gewand.
Ja seine Liebe kann allein
Der beste Schirm im Sturme sein.
4. Er selbst ist Wahrheit, Weg und Leben
Und wer ihm folgt, der irret nicht.
Er hat die Hand uns drauf gegeben,
Dass uns bei ihm kein Leid geschicht.
Die Engel müssen, wo wir gehn,
Zur Rechten und zur Linken stehn.
5. Wir reisen, Herr! In deinem Namen,
Sei du Gefährte, Weg und Stab;
Die Helden, die zu Jakob kamen,
Send auch zu unserm Schutz herab;
Mach Aus- und Eingang so beglückt,
Dass uns kein Fall das Ziel verrückt.
6. Bleib bei uns, wenns will Abend werden,
Gib Licht durch deine Gegenwart.
Sei unser Leitstern hier auf Erden,
Uns stechen uns hier Dornen hart,
So tröst uns mit der Rosenbahn,
Die man dort oben wandeln kann.
7.) Wirst du mit uns auf diesem Wege
Durch deinen Schutz und Leitung sein
Und auch indessen deine Pflege
Den Hinterlassenen verleihn,
So soll das unser Opfer sein:
Gelobet sei der Herr allein!
8.) Wir wollen einen Altar bauen,
Der Eben-Ezer (a) heißen soll.
daran soll man die Worte schauen:
Gott führet seine Kinder wohl.
Und also findt die Losung statt:
Wohl dem, der Gott zum Führer hat!
(a) Eben-Ezer ist ein Ort in der Bibel. Der Name Eben-Ezer bedeutet etwa „Stein der Hilfe Gottes“. Daher tragen viele Kirchen, Kapellen und Kirchengemeinden diesen Namen.
