The Lincoln Continental Mark IV was a luxury car at the top end of the personal luxury car market sold under the Lincoln brand of the Ford Motor Company in North America between 1972 and 1976. It replaced the successful Continental Mark II and was, in turn, replaced by the Continental Mark V. The "Sure-track" ABS was standard.
The Mark IV and the contemporary Ford Thunderbird were built on a common platform at the same plant in Wixom, Michigan, and were essentially rebadged variants. Both front seats were power adjustable.

I don't usually go for this type of seashore long exposure stuff (I think it's waaay overdone and seems to create the illusion that setting a relatively low shutter speed makes up for a lack of composition/colour/general interest) but it was quite dark on this evening so it could hardly be helped. And sometimes it is interesting. Garrettstown, Co. Cork.
The round federal inspection mark is the assurance of wholesome meat. The mark may appear on large cuts of fresh meat and is harmless. It does not need to be trimmed off before eating.
The grade shield denotes the quality of beef, veal, and lamb. The grade is applied along the length of the carcass and may not be on each small cut.
The round federal inspection mark for poultry can be found on a wing tag, a giblet wrapper, an inset or on the outside wrapper. It is the assurance of wholesome poultry.
Chickens, turkeys and ducks are federally graded. The shield can be found on the wing tag or on the outside wrapper. There are three grades, A, B, and C; but, grade A is sold most widely.

I met Mark years ago. He started as an actor with our company.
We struck up a good friendship about two years ago when we partnered in a website dream to sell Photoshop courses.
We re-designed the site, watched over it like anxious parents. When things didn't work out, we re-designed it again...and again. We are currently talking about (you guessed it) re-designing it again.
Then he said he was moving to China. Mark has always had a "yen" for for all things Chinese. He's been there for a year. (Yeah, yeah, Mark. I know "yen" is Japanese...but...well...it's 4 in the freaking morning...geez.)
Mark came back to Canada for a family celebration.
We'd always talked about having a few bottles of Stella when he got back to town.
Tuesday night we did.
Here is my friend, Mark.
He tells me that he has seen every image I have posted. I ask him why he he has never said a word or made a single comment on my images...and he says he will...and then does it in Chinese.
That's Mark.
He's single. And he is one of the good guys.
He enjoys long walks on the beach, discussions about all kinds of sensitive crap and talking about his (and your) inner child...and is prepared to do all of the above until the Stella runs out.
Sheree and I are off to the Indy again today. It is "holy crap what am I doing awake?" early. We leave before the sun comes up and get home long after it's down...so I won't have much time for flickr-ing.
So if you're used to having me comment on your photos and haven't seen me around, that's why.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. He is most noted for his novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), the latter often called "the Great American Novel."
When he was four, Twain's family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, a port town on the Mississippi River that inspired the fictional town of St. Petersburg in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Missouri was a slave state and young Twain became familiar with the institution of slavery, a theme he would later explore in his writing.
In 1847, when Twain was 11, his father died of pneumonia. The next year, he became a printer's apprentice. In 1851, he began working as a typesetter and contributor of articles and humorous sketches for the Hannibal Journal, a newspaper owned by his brother Orion. When he was 18, he left Hannibal and worked as a printer in New York City, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Cincinnati. He joined the newly formed International Typographical Union, the printers union, and educated himself in public libraries in the evenings, finding wider information than at a conventional school.
On a voyage to New Orleans down the Mississippi, steamboat pilot Horace E. Bixby inspired Twain to become a pilot himself. As Twain observed in Life on the Mississippi, the pilot surpassed a steamboat's captain in prestige and authority; it was a rewarding occupation with wages set at $250 per month. A steamboat pilot needed to know the ever-changing river to be able to stop at the hundreds of ports and wood-lots. Twain studied 2,000 miles (3,200 km) of the Mississippi for more than two years before he received his steamboat pilot license in 1859. This occupation gave him his pen name, Mark Twain, from "mark twain," the cry for a measured river depth of two fathoms.
While training, Samuel convinced his younger brother Henry to work with him. Henry was killed on June 21, 1858, when the steamboat he was working on, the Pennsylvania, exploded. Twain had foreseen this death in a dream a month earlier, which inspired his interest in parapsychology; he was an early member of the Society for Psychical Research. Twain was guilt-stricken and held himself responsible for the rest of his life. He continued to work on the river and was a river pilot until the American Civil War broke out in 1861 and traffic along the Mississippi was curtailed.
During the Civil War, Missouri was considered by many to be part of the South and was represented in both the Confederate and Federal governments. Twain wrote a sketch, "The Private History of a Campaign That Failed," which claimed he and his friends had been Confederate volunteers for two weeks before disbanding their company.
In 1867, a local newspaper funded a trip to the Mediterranean. During his tour of Europe and the Middle East, he wrote a popular collection of travel letters, which were later compiled as The Innocents Abroad in 1869. It was on this trip that he met his future brother-in-law, Charles Langdon. Both were passengers aboard the Quaker City on their way to the Holy Land. Langdon showed a picture of his sister Olivia to Twain; Twain claimed to have fallen in love at first sight.
Throughout 1868, Twain and Olivia Langdon corresponded but she rejected his first marriage proposal. Two months later, they were engaged. In February 1870, Twain and Langdon were married in Elmira, New York, where he had courted her. She came from a "wealthy but liberal family," and through her he met abolitionists, "socialists, principled atheists and activists for women's rights and social equality," including Harriet Beecher Stowe (his next-door neighbor in Hartford, Connecticut), Frederick Douglass, and the writer and utopian socialist William Dean Howells, who became a long-time friend.
Twain moved his family to Hartford, Connecticut, where starting in 1873 he arranged the building of a home. In the 1870s and 1880s, Twain and his family summered at Quarry Farm, the home of Olivia's sister, Susan Crane. In 1874, Susan had a study built apart from the main house so that her brother-in-law would have a quiet place in which to write. Also, Twain smoked pipes constantly, and Susan Crane did not wish him to do so in her house. During his seventeen years in Hartford (1874–1891) and over twenty summers at Quarry Farm, Twain wrote many of his classic novels, among them The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), The Prince and the Pauper (1881), Life on the Mississippi (1883), Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885) and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889).
Twain was an adamant supporter of abolition and emancipation, even going so far to say "Lincoln's Proclamation ... not only set the black slaves free, but set the white man free also." He argued that non-whites did not receive justice in the United States, once saying "I have seen Chinamen abused and maltreated in all the mean, cowardly ways possible to the invention of a degraded nature....but I never saw a Chinaman righted in a court of justice for wrongs thus done to him." He paid for at least one black person to attend Yale Law School and for another black person to attend a southern university to become a minister.
Mark Twain was a staunch supporter of women's rights and an active campaigner for women's suffrage. His "Votes for Women" speech, in which he pressed for the granting of voting rights to women, is considered one of the most famous in history
