"Lithium can be safe, effective for children suffering from bipolar disorder"
Notably marking the end of the General Motors Full-size vehicle platform (B-Platform 1977-1996). The Chevrolet Caprice joined the Buick Roadmaster, Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser & 98 and Cadillac Fleetwood as the last hurrah for Body-on-Frame (BOF) passenger car production.
Off to a positive start, the Caprice Classic won Motor Trends 1991 'Car of the Year'. The Caprice's aerodynamic styling though, alienated traditional customers, and the Caprice Wagon suffered from the market shift to Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs).
Initially equipped in 1991 with a compact V8 engine measuring 5.0 litres (L03), this economy V8 was not particularly powerful (170 PS). Other variants (notably Police editions and the Impala SS model) used the Gen I 5.7 litre (L05) V8 detuned from the Corvette (210 PS). In 1994, bothe engines were replaced with the Gen II V8. The 5.0 was replaced by a 4.3 litre V8 unit (L99)producing 200 PS. The larger engine remained at 5.7 litres (LT1) (again a detuned Corvette engine), and was now rated at 260 PS.
At the end of 1996, GM declared the end of B-Body production, with the Plant being turned over to the production of truck-derived SUVs. It was assumed that this marked the end of RWD for GM passenger cars, with the exception of the Corvette and F-Body Camaro/Firebird.
The Caprice/Impala SS was notionally replaced by the FWD Lumina LTZ. The Impala nameplate would reappear in 2000 as the FWD replacement for the Lumina.

Once Upon a Snow Mine — While out marking territory a saber-toothed tiger happened upon the scent of bunnies and began tracking them for a much needed meal. Unfortunately (though not for the bunnies), at the same time, some Snow Guardians were on their way to collect gold from their mine, and the tiger decided three humans were a much better meal than the three bunnies.
————
I added this saber-toothed tiger to my collection a few months back and had been wanting to make a small moc with him since then, and when the new Snow Guardian minifig in series 22 was revealed I knew exactly what scene I wanted to build. It was fun working in primarily one color (though very hard on my white slope stock lol). The Pick-a-Brick wall at my local LEGO Store also helped a bunch. I think my favorite part of the build turned out to be the smooth fresh snow on the path leading to the mine, disturbed only by the guardians on one side and bunny tracks on the other.

In a remote canyon in Death Valley National Park, writings of ages long past can be seen on the walls. I have no idea how old these writings are, but they seem to have been there for a long, long time. In a place that seldom gets rain they are quite eroded in places. This is the first time I can recall seeing petroglyhs in person, and it was amazing to experience a connection with long lost people.

I drive by this cross often and decided to pull over to get a closer look. I know nothing about this person or their death.
It has been a while since anyone put up flowers to mark his road side cross.
Sharan Ernst's cross hopefully reminds all that pass by to slow down and take it easy. However, I drive this road often enough to know that this cross has no effect on the driving habits of those that drive by. Google has no mention of the fate of Sharan Ernest so I will continue to drive by and ponder his life and his rarely changed flowers.
Update: A TRAGEDY RECALLED
Three died when plane crashed into Fullerton apartments one year ago

An eerie feeling gripped Robert Corbin as he opened the sales brochure. Smack in the middle of the renter's insurance pitch was an illustration of a house with an airplane sinking into the roof.
Corbin flashed back instantly to the morning of Nov. 20, 1995.
That's when he and two roommates escaped the fiery crash of a Piper Cherokee that plummeted into their apartment building at 1811 W. Malvern Ave. The incident left the pilot, Leslie Arehart, 47, his passenger Michael Benson, 40, and adjoining apartment renter Sharan Ernst, 43, dead.
Investigators from the Transportation Safety Board ruled in September that Arehart failed to follow federal aviation rules for instrument landings. In his haste to get to work, he flew below the minimum descent altitude.
Last week, Corbin and his roommates, Alan White and Ed Borgelt, returned to the scene for the first time, reconstructing the fateful day that would change their lives forever.
"I guess we figured our greatest risk at that condo would be theft, so we never got renter's insurance," White said. "We thought insurance was for TVs and stereos, never dreaming we would need it for a plane crash."
The trio edged closer to the front of their former home, struck by its fresh paint and sterile appearance.
MARKS REMAIN
"Oh, there are still scorch marks on the back wall and scars on the palms," Borgelt said. "But overall, they've done a pretty nice job of redoing everything."
Everything, that is, except payment for the men's personal losses, which they figure total more than $60,000. Corbin said an insurance company agreed to rebuild the three-bedroom structure before receiving a dime.
Corbin's attorney, Alan D. Block, said the problems stem from the pilot's insurance company, North American Specialty of New Hampshire. After meeting with nine attorneys representing claimants, Block said North American is suing "everyone involved on the ground" to release themselves from responsibility.
"Basically it comes down to license restrictions on the pilots and an altimeter that allegedly had not been checked," Block said. "The insurance company feels it only needs to pay the pilots' heirs."
CONFERENCE SLATED
An evaluation conference among the attorneys is set for Dec. 20 in Superior Court in Santa Ana.
"When all this happened, they said they would settle within a month," Borgelt recalled. "But then we never heard anything more until the lawsuit was filed.
As the memories filtered back, the men entered the apartment, remembering the cold November morning.
Corbin said he was asleep, Borgelt was showering and White had just gotten out of bed as the 2,000-pound aircraft raced toward the building.
"I heard a few bangs, and Al heard the propeller, then the impact. We rushed to help the Ernst family, but were driven back by the heat," said Corbin, who remembered coming down stairs with a ball of fire at his feet.
RESCUE ATTEMPTED
Ron Ernst was making coffee while his wife, Sharan, slept in an upstairs bedroom at 1813 W. Malvern Ave. The couple's son Jeremy, 21, and Ron fervently tried to rescue Sharan, but flames and exploding glass pushed them back. Later, Fullerton Fire Department Batallion Chief Larry Greene said gasoline in the plane fueled flames that reached 2,000 degrees.
Sharan, the mother of four and grandmother of two, died in the bedroom.
Son-in-law Frank Poyner, a firefighter in the Air Force at the time of the accident, was allowed to return to be with his wife, Melissa Ernst, and their two children. Last week, the Poyner family moved back to the Fullerton area so he can look for firefighter work. He said his wife plans to return to Fullerton College Cosmetology classes in January; other members of the family moved to Placentia.
THANKFUL FAMILY
"We're sad someone took down the sign across from the apartment that served as a memorial for Sharan," Poyner said Monday. "But we're thankful to so many people who helped the family."
As the roommates continued their house and yard tour, White poked through the grassy areas and spotted a small bottle.
"I vaguely remembered seeing that bottle the morning of the fire," White said. Untwisting the cap, he took a quick sniff, and pronounced Classic Match his fragrance.
Corbin, giving the refurbished living room a final glance, told his buddies, "This is so much nicer now. If it weren't in the flight pattern, I think I would definitely come back. I really liked Fullerton."

8 REASONS WHY WE ALL LOVE COX
Seniors
Club legend Greg Barras sat nervously in his house at Albury as word quickly spread that his club record of 18 goals was in jeopardy. Lee Cox under the beautiful Autumn sun treated the fans to a marking and goal scoring frenzy. Cox had a near perfect game, equalling the club record, and even found time to give off four more goals to team mates in better positions.
For the first time this season Hepburn was able to score the first goal of the match, usually slow starters, the Burras showed no signs of being lethargic and had eight goals on the board by quarter time. At the main break 20 goals had been amassed with Cox kicking half of them. Cox’s sidekick, Andy McKay unusually flew under the radar, (as was Cox’s dominance) but “ Hollywood” was still close to best on ground honours with his 7 goals , superb high marking and pin point passing to Cox on the lead.
Creswick had a day they would rather forget, but to their credit, they never gave up and had some young players who had very good games. As usually is with an uneven scoreline, most of the play was forward of the centre square, in saying that Hepburn’s backline had to concentrate harder, but when the opportunity arose, Trevor Johnson, Allan Ware and coompany mopped up and created opportunities for their team mates. Daniel Smith’s big frame also posed problems for the opposition. Smith played a very versatile game, using his body to great affect so his fleet footed allies in Baker, Rees, and the James boys could get their hands on the ball.
Brian O’ Halloran, the former star rover of the 1970’s is a proud man. His oldest son Tim is doing well in his first coaching gig at Reserves level. Next in line Dan becoming a seasoned performer, but the youngest of the clan, Liam, has settled in nicely into Shane Robertson’s structure, bobbing up linking play, and showing maturity well above his years.
Next week Hepburn takes on the big improver Gordon at the Laurie Sullivan Reserve which should be a match worth watching.
Final Scores: HEPBURN 36-12-228 defeated CRESWICK 3-4-22
Goals: L. Cox 18, A. McKay 7, D. O’Halloran 3, J. James 3, J. King 2, R. Gundry, T. Johnson, D. James
Best: L. Cox, A. McKay, D. Smith, D. Rees, A. Baker, D. O’ Halloran
UNDER 18’s
For two and a half quarters Hepburn matched Creswick, but were blown away in the end by one of the premiership favorites. The highlight reel was pretty small, but Joe Malone would have featured prominently having a blinder of a game in the middle. His strong work in tight and then classy skills to finish something his younger team mates can learn from.
Tom Conroy battled hard in the ruck, certainly holding his own and Lucas Bossinger put in his best game to date. The small brigade of under 15 players who fill in each week again performed well, with Jackson Carrick and Billy Johns being rewarded kicking goals. Next week is a big game as the boys should aim to have their second win for the season.
Final Scores: HEPBURN 5-3-33 lost to CRESWICK 20-14-134
Goals: J. Malone 2, K. Frost, J. Carrick, B. Johns
Best: J. Malone, J. Liversidge, K. Frost, M. Allison, L. Bossinger, T. Conroy
