A method forming a glazed tile with the edges of the glaze in the planes of the side walls of the tile including breaking protruding glaze with a compressible sheet of material.
1. The method of removing from a piece of glazed tile having side walls and a glazed surface the edges of which protrude beyond the side walls of the tile, which consists in supporting the tile, supporting a compressible sheet of material upon rigid backing surface, said backing surface and sheet material extending in all directions beyond the edges of said prortruding glaze, and forcing said supported sheet of compressible material against the glaze and tile with sufficient pressure to break said glaze at each sidewall of said tile.
In the manufacture of glazed tile in which all edges of the glaze are flush with the side walls of the tile a glaze is formed on the tile with the edges of the glaze protruding beyond the edges of the tile which must be removed. The invention provides a method and apparatus for removing the protruding edges of the glaze.
My present invention relates to the method of forming glazed ceramic tile which is described and claimed in my U.S. Pat. No. 3,536,798. A tile produced by the method of that patent is disclosed in FIG. 1 which illustrates a tile 2 having glaze 4 on one surface thereof which has lateral edges 7 which overhang the lateral side walls of the tile. It will be understood that in order to fit the glazed tile with other glazed tiles to form a mosaic the overhanging lateral edges 7 of the glaze must be removed to a flush condition with the adjacent side walls of the tile in order to produce the finished tile shown in FIG. 2, and my present invention provides means for doing this.
FIG. 1 is a side view of a glazed tile;
FIG. 2 is a side view of the tile of FIG. 1 with the overhanging glaze removed;
FIG. 3 is a side view of the tile of FIG. 1 under a pressure plate as provided by the invention;
FIG. 4 is similar to FIG. 3 and shows the pressure plate in contact with the glaze;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of part of a mosaic composed of two pieces of tile;
FIG. 6 is an enlarged sectional view taken along line 6--6 of FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 is a side elevational view of the assembly of FIG. 6 under a pressure plate;
FIG. 8 shows the action of the pressure plate when pressing the assembly of FIG. 6, and
FIG. 9 is a side elevational view showing the completed pieces of glazed ceramic tile after removal from the press of FIGS. 7 and 8.
The method provided by the invention for producing the finished tile of FIG. 2 from the preliminary stage which is shown in FIG. 1 and which is the product of the method and apparatus described in my patent, is disclosed in FIGS. 3 and 4. As shown in those figures the tile with overhanging protruding glaze edges 7 is placed on the fixed bed 20 of a press the movable part of which is positioned above the bed and comprises a ram 22 supporting a rigid head 24 which on its lower surface carries a thick sheet of compressible material 26 the lateral dimensions of which are greater than those of the tile body 2 and are at least as great as those of the glaze 4. After the tile has been placed in the press as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 the press is operated to force the compressible layer 26 against the upper surface of the glaze, thereby breaking off the protruding edges of the glaze along lines coincident with the planes of the side walls of the tile body. The tile is then removed from the press and has the configuration shown in FIG. 2 in which the side edges of the glaze lie in the plane of the side walls of the tile body.
The method of the invention may be utilizied in removing the protruding edges of a plurality of tile pieces, and in FIGS. 5 and 6 there is disclosed a unitary section of glazed tile having tile pieces 30, 32 which are connected by a glaze 34 which extends beyond the side edge of the tile pieces and across the opening 36 between the two tile pieces. Such a unitary tile consisting of a plurality of tile pieces connected by a glaze is a product of the invention described in my patent which is referred to above.
In FIGS. 7 and 8 there is disclosed the means for removing from the multiple tiles of FIGS. 5 and 6 all overhanging edges of the glaze, and such means comprises a press having a base plate 40 which is large enough to accommodate the multiple tile, a movable head 42 attached to a ram 44 and carrying a layer of compressible material 46 which has sufficient lateral dimensions so that it will extend in all directions beyond the edges of the glaze 34 of the composite tile of FIGS. 5 and 6. As shown in FIG. 8 the operation of the press will cause the layer of compressible material 46 to engage the glaze and force it downwardly, breaking the glaze along all lines co-incident with the side walls of the tile. The end product is disclosed in FIG. 9 and comprises the two tiles each having a glaze the edges of which are in the plane of the side wall of the underlying tile.

Sharing Thanksgiving
Posted on by Patricia Bishop
Thanksgiving in our house this year was shared with new faces. We participated in Share Thanksgiving through Engage NS where we easily signed up as a host table for dinner and we were paired with four students from Acadia. They had not yet been across the Cornwallis River until Sunday. Three of them have been here in Nova Scotia for just over a month. We were also joined by a travelling man who is spending his final days in Nova Scotia at the end of a year long journey from Argentina to Yukon to Nova Scotia. Josh and I saw him and his truck on Saturday in Coldbrook and I couldn't help go up to him and talk and then invite him to dinner. It was truly an amazing Sunday at the farm. Our good friends came to visit with their baby, my sisters and their families joined us, and together we had food grown right here on the farm. I am so truly thankful for the abundance our life offers.
Happy October!

17535Re: Rusyns demand Rusyn in church
Expand Messages
- Feb 7, 2007Oooops. Sorry for the blank reply. It was a "schlep" of my fingers.
In 1999 I attended two Greek Catholic services in Slovakia. One in
Kamienka and the other in Bardejov off Stara Mesto. I can't swear to
it but I thought the homilies were in Rusyn. Is this just an attempt
to get official recognition of Rusyn by the church or to require
Rusyn be used in all GC churches?
My relatives made a point of saying the Mass in Bardejov would be
in "Stara Slovenska"(sp). Does this mean that Mass is now normally
said in Slovak in the Slovak GC churches. GC Mass is now said in
English in this country.

Four-Links – Lambrecht love letter, Holabird revisited, SHADO jeep found, Henry Ford's paternalism
* We figured there'd be plenty of stories of interest in the aftermath of last fall's Lambrecht auction – such as the story behind the purchase of the $140,000 Chevrolet Cameo – but perhaps none are quite as touching as the story of the 1959 Chevrolet that Dean Sparks bought, which contained a love letter to Ronnie Waterbury, the mechanic at Lambrecht, from his soon-to-be-wife.
* Following up on our recent Jeep stories, Wagoneer fan Katie Sullivan sent us this link via Twitter about a visit to what little remains of Camp Holabird.
* Last year, we highlighted the recent discovery of the Straker car from the TV series U.F.O. and now it appears another one has surfaced, this time a Mini Moke-based S.H.A.D.O. jeep in a junkyard in the Canary Islands. Jeroen Booij has more on the find.
* When Henry Ford introduced a $5 per day wage a century ago, it came with plenty of strings attached, including constant and invasive surveillance by Ford's secret police, as Jalopnik's Michael Ballaban recently described.

Studebaker's Canada plant torn down to make way for industrial park

It's the last place any Studebaker rolled off an assembly line, but after more than a year-long demolition effort, today
only a fraction nothing remains of the former Studebaker of Canada plant in Hamilton, Ontario, remains after a developer has decided to turn the location into an industrial park.
While Studebaker's main administration building and assembly plant in South Bend, Indiana, are slated for a full revitalization (and may qualify for National Historic Landmark status soon), the independent automaker's Canadian home hasn't seen the same fortune over the last few years, with all but 30,000 square feet of the 740,000-square-foot building – a section that pre-dates Studebaker's tenancy – razed after years of indecision about what to do with the site and a few failed starts at revitalizing it.
Originally Constructed in 1941 by Otis Elevators and the Canadian government to build anti-aircraft guns for the war effort on a 7-1/2-acre plot of land in an already heavily industrial area on the north side of the city, the factory switched to auto manufacturing when Studebaker bought it in 1946, giving the company a second North American manufacturing facility outside of South Bend (Studebaker's 406,000-square-foot Los Angeles plant had been in operation since 1935). By August of 1948, complete cars were rolling off the assembly line using a mixture of parts sourced from South Bend and parts sourced in Canada.
According to Patrick Foster's Studebaker, the Complete History, the purchase of the Hamilton plant was part of Studebaker's post-war strategy to take advantage of the seller's market by boosting production, and that strategy seemed to work initially: 1948 proved the best year in Studebaker history in terms of production, revenue and profits, and in 1949 the company again broke its own records in all three categories.
Over the next couple decades, the Hamilton plant built Larks, Hawks, and some trucks (but no Packards), and Studebaker of Canada even got involved in distributing Volkswagens in Canada. The Hamilton plant eventually expanded over a 26-acre site, but with overwhelming competition from other compact car sellers – both foreign and domestic – and with a number of legacy costs mounting by the early 1960s, Studebaker management debated pulling the plug on its automotive operations.

It ended up doing so, but not all at once. While the company pulled out of South Bend in December 1963 (the Los Angeles plant operations ceased around 1956) and eliminated the Hawk, truck and Avanti lines at the same time, it shifted all Lark production to Hamilton, which Studebaker management believed could produce a maximum of 36,000 cars per year. Because Hamilton didn't have foundry operations, and because South Bend no longer produced engines, Studebaker had to install Chevrolet straight-sixes and V-8s sourced from GM's McKinnon Industries in St. Catherine's, Ontario, and employment actually increased at Hamilton to pick up the extra work – from 700 to 1,100 people.
The Canada-only production plan wouldn't last, though, with sales plummeting from 82,675 in 1963 to 46,460 in 1964, then to 19,435 in 1965 and 8,947 in 1966. Studebaker auto production would come to its ultimate end in March 1966 (
sources differ on the exact date: It's either the 4th, 5th or 17th according to Stu Chapman, the closing was announced on March 4 and the final assembly date was March 17), when a four-door Commander Cruiser rolled out the door. While at first glance it seems that Studebaker failed to keep automotive production going in Canada, some argue that Studebaker intended all along to wind down production as it did to avoid legal hassles with its dealership network.
A few years later, Otis then bought the assembly plant and used it until 1987; after that, a candy manufacturer moved in. It's unclear exactly how long the site has been vacant, but as far back as the early 2000s proposals for use of the vast empty space have been floated, from municipal athletic fields to a film studio. According to reporting in the Hamilton Spectator, the cost of cleaning up the contaminants at the site, estimated at about $10 million, has been in part to blame for those plans falling through.
In 2012, however, developer Sergio Manchia stepped in with a plan to rehabilitate the site into what he is calling Freeman Industrial Park, a plan that involved tearing down all but 30,000 square feet of the facility. What remains will become office space, "maintained to preserve some of the historical character of the building," the Spectator wrote, while the rest will be cleaned up and divided into 22 industrial-zoned lots. Demolition took place in late 2012 and into 2013, and cleanup is expected to last until later this year.
"It's not a quick process," Manchia said, but he could see "some light at the end of the tunnel."
March Military Campaign revisited – more on the twin-engine Ford COE
B-24 bombers are big planes: 68 feet long, 110-foot wingspan, and a loaded weight of 55,000 pounds. It took four 1,200-hp turbosupercharged Pratt and Whitney radials to power them, and it took the largest industrial building under a single roof – the Willow Run bomber plant outside Ypsilanti, Michigan – to build them. And to ship their parts and sub-assemblies from one factory to another, it took an equally outsized fleet of vehicles: twin-engine Ford cab-over-engine trucks pulling 60-foot-long supertrailers.
We've taken a look at these gas-engine beasts before, but it seems that every time we run across new photos of them – including these two from The Henry Ford's Flickr pages, as pointed out by Bill McGuire at Mac's Motor City Garage – we see something we haven't before come across. Take, for instance, THF's caption for the above photo:
Many Ford Liberators are built into major assemblies and hauled away from Willow Run in a knock-down form. A large fleet of gigantic trailers such as this one haul the bomber assemblies to plants in the Southwest where they are put together into finished bombers. A crane is shown lifting some of the bomber parts into the trailer.
So, in addition to cranking out a B-24 every hour during World War II, the workers at Willow Run were also producing these massive sub-assemblies, and somehow it was more economical for them to do so and to ship the sub-assemblies by these massive purpose-built trucks to places as far away as San Diego; Fort Worth; Tulsa; and Grand Prairie, Texas, the other four factories tasked with building B-24s.
As for the truck itself, we've yet to come across one that looks quite like it. Other examples we've seen either had custom front sheetmetal grafted to widened pickup cabs literally sitting atop the dual side-by-side V-8 engines or used unwidened pre-1941 oval-grille COEs with the side-by-side V-8s mounted behind the cab, but this one used a widened 1941-up COE, with what appears to be a sleeper cab. McGuire lists several manufacturers of dual-engine Ford COEs – Grico, Thorco, E&L, Spangler and Merry-Neville – any of which could have built the above truck.
And while we're at it, here's how Willow Plant packed those giant trailers.
UPDATE (28.March 2014): One more below that we just came across on the Wayne State University Virtual Motor City project. The only context with it is that it's dated June 8, 1942.
Former Packard plant owner wants another $3.5 million for it

Nothing comes easy with Detroit's crumbling Packard plant, and the phrase "free and clear" certainly does not apply, as developer Fernando Palazuelo is quickly finding out, following a claim on the plant from its previous owner, who has demanded that Palazuelo pay another $3.5 million for it.
Meanwhile, the city of Detroit has told Palazuelo, who bought the plant for $405,000 at a foreclosure auction from the county in December, that it still owns a key parcel smack dab in the middle of the Packard plant complex. Dominic Cristini, the former owner of the plant, has laid claim to that parcel as well.
Palazuelo, the Spanish-born Peru-based developer, won the county foreclosure auction on the plant in November and completed payments to the county in December and has since outlined grand plans for a mixed-use development of the property, including residential, commercial, and industrial uses, and even a go-kart track. However, according to reports in the Detroit Free Press, Cristini – whose failure to pay about $1 million in back taxes led to the foreclosure and subsequent auction of the 40-acre complex – now claims that the county botched the foreclosure process by not giving him proper notice.
County spokesmen disputed Cristini's claims and said they sent out sufficient notice via certified mail and published public notices. Regardless, Cristini reportedly met with Palazuelo to offer to release his claim on the property – and the claims of an unknown number of others also invested in the property – if Palazuelo paid him $3.5 million. "This is typical blackmail," Palazuelo told the Free Press. "I told… Cristini that Christmas is over."

Outside claims on the Packard plant don't end there, though. Earlier this month, again according to the Free Press, the city announced that it still owned a 4.5-acre parcel within the Packard plant complex that includes half of the much-photographed pedestrian bridge crossing East Grand Boulevard and the four-story building on the northeast corner of East Grand and Concord Street. The state of Michigan gained control over that particular parcel in the 1990s through a separate foreclosure and deeded it to the city in 1999. Because the city owns it, the parcel was left out of last year's county-run auction. City officials said they will work with Palazuelo to resolve the matter.
The factory dates back to Packard's 1903 move from its birthplace of Warren, Ohio, to Detroit. Designed by Albert Kahn, who became one of America's foremost industrial architects (his works include Ford's Rouge plant and GM's headquarters of 1919), the East Grand Avenue plant was one of this country's earliest examples of reinforced concrete construction, and was once admired as one of the most advanced factories in the world. The factory on East Grand Boulevard, once one of the most modern in the world, stopped producing automobiles in the fall of 1954, when production was shifted to the former Briggs body plant on Connor Avenue that Packard had leased from Chrysler. The company left East Grand for South Bend in 1956, after consolidating its operations with Studebaker. The factory had a variety of paying tenants over the past several decades, the last of which left in 2010. Despite the weather and the efforts of vandals, looters, scrappers and arsonists, much of the reinforced-concrete skeleton of the factory building remains standing.
BMW buys back part of its manufacturing history

BMW's original focus was the construction of aircraft engines, and demand for the company's products during the First World War led to the construction in 1918 of a new, state-of-the-art facility in Munich's Milbershofen district. BMW would only occupy this grand facility for two years, until a 1920 corporate takeover put the Moosacher Strasse plant in the hands of Berlin's Knorr-Bremse. Now, 94 years later, BMW has reacquired this property from Knorr-Bremse and will repurpose it to serve as the future home of BMW Group Classic.
The early history of BMW is a confusing one, with enough plot twists and turns to fill a John le Carre novel. Suffice it to say that as the First World War ended, BMW found itself at a loss for business because few customers were shopping for German-made aircraft engines. In December of 1918, BMW was instructed by the Commissioner for Demobilization for Bavaria to shutter its doors on Moosacher Strasse, as raw materials such as steel, aluminum and coal were in short supply and needed by a recovering civilian population. The fact that BMW's aircraft engines had been produced in support of the German war effort also found it little favor in the months following the end of hostilities.
BMW's management immediately began to apply pressure on the government, arguing that the plant could be repurposed to produce a variety of engines for industrial purposes. In February of 1919, BMW reopened its doors on Moosacher Strasse, and soon turned its efforts towards designing engines for automobiles, trucks, motorcycles and marine applications, along with building the occasional aircraft engine. The company's rebirth was short-lived: Within a few months, BMW was banned from building aircraft engines of any type, and was required by the Allies to turn over or destroy all aircraft-related parts and tooling. To supplement its income, BMW struck a 10-year deal with Knorr-Bremse, a Berlin-based manufacturer of braking systems for rail cars and locomotives. Under license from Knorr-Bremse, BMW would build these braking systems in its Munich factory. If not exactly bright, the future at least looked stable for the company into the 1920s.
An undated aerial view of the plant.
In short order, filling orders for Knorr-Bremse became paramount, and the engine business that had been at the root of BMW's origins dwindled. This had a negative impact on BMW's profits, as the margins on contract work were nowhere near the near the margins that BMW's shareholders had grown accustomed to. In August of 1920, BMW's primary shareholder, Camillo Castiglioni, agreed to sell his stake in the company to Knorr-Bremse, and the Berlin company became the parent of BMW and the owner of the factory on Moosacher Strasse.
BMW's engine business would be reacquired by Castiglioni in 1922 and moved to a facility on Lerchenauer Strasse in Munich. Eventually, BMW would go on to become a successful manufacturer of automobiles and motorcycles, its familiar roundel logo recognized the world over. Knorr-Bremse's business grew as well, and the company evolved into the world's leading manufacturer of braking systems for railway and commercial applications. When it made the decision to sell its former factory on Moosacher Strasse, complete with a gate building protected by German heritage laws and more than three acres of surrounding land, BMW sensed an opportunity to reconnect with its past and bring its Group Classic activities under a single roof.
The new facility, when completed, will include the BMW Group Classic workshop, a customer center where owners can purchase parts for vintage vehicles, a BMW Group archive, vehicle displays (encompassing BMW, MINI, BMW Motorrad and Rolls-Royce), administrative offices and a multifunctional event center. It's located near BMW's world headquarters in Munich (and the adjacent BMW museum), meaning visitors to Munich will soon be penciling in one more stop on their "must see" lists.

Four-Links – mini Mercedeseseses, Cummins-powered Packard, the year they stole a Dakar car, abandoned Russian factory
* How can one man own every model Mercedes ever built? Easy: He owns every (scale) model Mercedes ever built. What's more, Mihail Neagu has taken to photographing them all, Michael Paul Smith style, and creating tiny people to populate his 1/18-scale worlds. (via)
* As we noted a few years ago, Clessie Cummins, in his efforts to get automakers to adopt diesel power, installed a Model U diesel engine into a 1920s Packard. Over at The Old Motor, Gene Herman recently posted some more information and photos of that exact diesel Packard.
* If you've been following the Dakar this year, you'll note the usual amount of misadventure. What you likely won't see, however, is the lead competitor's vehicle stolen, but that's exactly what happened in 1988, as Andy Hallbery wrote this week on Motorsport Retro.
* For a supposed abandoned Soviet-era automobile factory, the unspecified ZIS/ZIL one that English Russia recently posted photos of looks rather well kept.
* Finally, our research on opposed-piston engines this past week led us to many more examples of those strange and uncommon creatures as well as a history on the type by Edgar T. Westbury at ModelEngineNews.
The top 10 Hemmings Daily posts of 2013

Every year we read all the cynical backlash against the end-of-year proliferation of lists of most popular stories, and yet every year we compile another one. We do so both because it's natural to get a little nostalgic for the year that was and because you, the reader, made these stories popular by choosing to read them, so we want to celebrate (and learn from) your input. So thank you. While we're reviewing 2013, we can't overlook the personnel changes around these parts. Hemmings Daily contributors David Traver Adolphus and Kate Sullivan might have left us to pursue other opportunities, but we've added the bylines of regular Hemmings Daily writer Kurt Ernst and home office editorial staff contributors Tom DeMauro and Dan Beaudry to the mix. So, enjoy this review of the hits of 2013, and we'll see you next year with more great stories from around the collector car world.
#10 – Why did GM buy another auto company's historic factory? Old auto factories – from Willow Run, to Detroit's Packard plant, to a long-forgotten piece of Chrysler history in New Jersey – figured heavily into the news this year, but no such story ranked higher than the one from May exploring the reasons behind GM's purchase of the old Durant-Dort Carriage Company factory in Flint, Michigan. Short answer – it and the nearby office building are considered to be where GM's inception took place.
#9 – Garage-find Jaguar E-type sells for $168,000. Collectors may very well remember 2013 as the year that Jaguar's E-type became a big-money car. RM set an auction record last month by selling one for $467,500, but back in the spring another one, not nearly as clean and showing the scars of a life of neglect, had the world talking when it sold for $168,000 at a Bonhams auction.
#8 – Famous Detroit-area junkyard Warhoops sold. Warhoops in Sterling Heights, Michigan, had been open since 1956, but most of the collector car world didn't really hear of it until Joe Bortz bought four GM Motorama concept cars out of the junkyard in the late 1980s. The junkyard remains open under its new ownership, but to many in the area, the sale marks the end of an era that stretches back to Harley Earl's days at GM.
#7 – "Found in crate" Willys MB Jeep to cross the block. We've all heard the tantalizing urban legend of entire World War II-era Jeeps (and other drool-worthy military equipment) found crated up in warehouses, unused in the war effort – an offshoot on the barn-find meme. And despite a number of debunkings, the urban legend appears to remain alive and well into the 21st century, as we saw from a 1944 Willys MB Jeep offered at a Bonhams auction in June.
#6 – September 11 memorial Chevrolet Nova for sale for $30 million. Much of the ensuing discussion focused on the relative position of rear axles in Seventies Novas. That is what makes our readers the best.
#5 – Three Chevrolets stolen from Monterey auctions. We hear of stolen collector cars on a regular basis and try to put alerts out for them whenever possible. But it's rare to see collector cars taken from auctions, particularly from high-profile auctions such as those that take place in and around Monterey during August. We have yet to hear whether any of the three – two 1961 Chevrolet Impala SSs and a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air – have been recovered.
#4 – Barn-find 1929 Packard emerges after 50 years, wins best of show its first time out. Barn-find stories will never cease to be popular, and major concours events have indeed begun to recognize the art of the unrestored car, as we saw at this year's Elegance at Hershey. But it was another show-winning barn find – a 1929 Packard Model 633 that emerged from a 50-year slumber in the Adirondacks this past summer – that caught readers' attentions.
#3 – Squirreled-away 1957 Plymouth Savoy with 31 miles to cross the block. It might not have won any best-of-show awards, but the 1957 Plymouth Savoy that RKM Collector Car Auctions offered in October still proved noteworthy for its ultra-low mileage and the story of the Mopar dealer who inexplicably kept the two-door club sedan looking factory fresh in a Texas barn for a couple decades.
#2 – Sports Car One: The first Nash-Healey restored, heads to auction. Also out of Texas came the story of the first Nash-Healey, beautifully restored and auctioned off earlier this year. What drove the conversation about this car, however, was the claim that it represents the first purpose-built American sports car.
#1 – The collection of Lambrecht Chevrolet auction stories. In June, we were the first to bring you the story of the Lambrecht Chevrolet dealership collection headed to auction, but we were by no means the only news outlet to cover the build-up to the VanDerBrink-run auction this past September or the auction itself. The hype almost became its own story and caused tens of thousands of people – bidders and spectators alike – to descend on the town of Pierce, Nebraska, and when all was said and done, the top sale – a 1958 Chevrolet Cameo pickup with 1.3 miles that sold for $140,000 – generated even more headlines. Special thanks to correspondent Rocky Rotella for covering the auction that weekend while the rest of the Hemmings editorial staff was occupied with the Hemmings Motor News Concours d'Elegance.
Honorable Mention #1 – Pageviews and visitors are one way of gauging interest in a story we post on the Hemmings Daily; another is the number of comments a story generates. So while a couple of stories didn't make the top 10 list above, they still generated as many or more comments than any of the above stories. The first of which was Jim Donnelly's January story about Fox's conversion of Speed TV to Fox Sports 1, an all-sports cable channel. Judging from the volume and the tone of the responses to that story, plenty of readers ditched their cable subscriptions this past year.
Honorable Mention #2 – Though not a typical news story, the Open Diff post from August inviting everybody to vent their automotive pet peeves still drew more comments than any other story this year and provided an interesting insight into the collective psyche of the Hemmings Daily reader.
Thanks to all of you for making Hemmings Daily a regular read, and we promise to deliver even more excitement and up-to-the-minute collector car news for 2014. And make sure you don't miss a thing by subscribing to our (free) newsletter if you haven't done so already.
Studebaker administration building, assembly plant poised for revitalization
Studebaker administration building, as seen in 2007. Photo by John Penrice.
When Studebaker left South Bend 50 years ago, it didn't just leave behind thousands of newly unemployed workers; it also left behind dozens of buildings and factories, some of them dating back to the turn of the century. And while other car manufacturers' old haunts haven't aged all that well, at least two of Studebaker's more significant facilities – its former administration building and its main assembly plant – not only remain standing today, but have been treated to recent renewal efforts.
Two different renewal efforts have targeted the buildings. As the South Bend Tribune wrote earlier this year, the current owners of the four-story administration building have been cleaning it out and tearing down some non-historical additions to the building to prepare it for a forthcoming adaptive reuse plan and a marketing effort aimed at attracting new tenants. Meanwhile, Building 84, where much of the final assembly of Studebaker cars took place, sold not long ago to the same developer that has already revitalized South Bend's neighboring Union Station into a high-tech data center.
Designed by architectural firm S.S. Beman of Chicago, the 149,000-square-foot administration building opened in June 1909 on the corner of Main Street and Bronson Street. As much a showpiece and community center for the company as a headquarters, it boasted a second-floor showroom for the company's wares, a 22-scene mural depicting the history of transportation, a 55,000-square-foot lobby, what was described as the largest commercial library in the world at the time, a two-lane bowling alley, gymnasium, bank, and cafeteria. Though updated in the early 1960s under Sherwood Egbert's tenure as president of the company, many of the original fixtures remain with the building today, and the all-concrete construction shows no signs of deterioration more than a century later.
According to a history of the building published in the March 2007 issue of the Studebaker Driver's Club newsletter, Turning Wheels, Studebaker abandoned the administration building when it left South Bend in December 1963 but didn't find a taker for the building until a few years later, when it sold the building to the city of South Bend for $1. The city in turn sold it to the South Bend Community School Corporation, which used the building as its own administration headquarters until the fall of 2006. It then sold to the current owner, Phoenix-based Dudley Ventures, in 2009; Dudley has spent the last few years securing and stabilizing the building, in the process eliminating some additions made through the years, and according to the Tribune is just about ready to market it to interested parties after eight years of vacancy; what sort of parties might be interested in it, the company has yet to say.

Built in 1923, Studebaker's Building 84 sits just across Lafayette Street from the administration building, up against the same railroad tracks. It dwarfed the administration building at six stories tall and with a total of more than 800,000 square feet under its roof and housed Studebaker's paint and trim facilities as well as its final assembly line for Studebaker automobiles, excluding the Avanti. While it apparently never went completely vacant following the Studebaker withdrawal from South Bend – now also known as the Ivy Tower, in recent years it has housed manufacturing facilities, warehousing operations, small offices, and winter storage for automobiles, according to Indiana Landmarks – local developer Kevin Smith plans to bring the building into the digital age. He has already converted neighboring Union Station into a data center and – through an $18 million partnership with the city – plans to expand those operations into Building 84 and add both offices and residential space to the facility.
"It doesn't happen overnight," he told the South Bend Tribune, "but, if you have commitment and a vision, it will happen."
While some of the 100-plus Studebaker buildings have been demolished in the last half century, the majority still stand and have been repurposed, as South Bend's Historical Heritage has detailed, and perhaps Studebaker's largest remnant – a half-mile-long sign made up of pine trees outside New Carlisle, Indiana – has been slated for restoration.
Neither Dudley Ventures nor Kevin Smith appear to have announced formal timelines for their revitalization plans.
Half a century later, Studebaker historians to discuss closing the South Bend plant

Fifty years ago today, the Studebaker automotive assembly line in South Bend, Indiana, shut down. While the company continued to build cars in Hamilton, Ontario, for the next couple of years, the company's fate as a car builder was effectively sealed with the move, bringing to an end more than a century of vehicle production in the city. Next month, local historians and authors will take part in a panel discussion aimed at sorting out the facts from the fictions surrounding the closing.
Founded in 1852 as a blacksmithing company, Studebaker moved quickly into building wagons and then in 1902 into building automobiles. By the early 1960s, the auto company was bleeding red ink; the parent corporation had successfully diversified in prior years, ensuring its survival even without the auto company, and a number of Sherwood Egbert's efforts to keep Studebaker afloat in those later years – including the Avanti, the sliding-roof Wagonaire, and a refresh of the compact Lark – could only stem the bleeding, if not make it worse. A strike by Studebaker's auto workers in early 1962 certainly didn't help the situation, nor did increased competition from AMC and the Big Three in the early 1960s in the compact car market, or the loss of Egbert due to his battle with cancer toward the end of 1963.
According to Patrick Foster's Studebaker, The Complete History, Studebaker's auto division lost more than $25 million in 1963, prompting the parent corporation to announce on December 9 the transfer of all automotive production from its South Bend plant to its Hamilton plant. Company officials pointed out at the time that South Bend's antiquated facilities were inefficient when it came to lower volumes of car production, while the more modern Hamilton plant could still operate at a profit at lower volumes. "Therefore we have decided to live with the sales we have rather than to continue to hope they will improve," then-president Byers Burlingame said. They didn't even remain static (plummeting from 82,675 in 1963 to 46,460 in 1964, then to 19,435 in 1965 and 8,947 in 1966), and Studebaker auto production in Canada only lasted through March 1966.
Next month's panel discussion, hosted by the Studebaker National Museum, will bring together first-hand accounts and experts in Studebaker history to explore those final days of South Bend production. Panelists will include Jack Colwell, who reported on the closure as it took place for the South Bend Tribune; Robert Ebert, author of the book Champion of the Lark; and Studebaker historian and Hemmings Classic Car columnist Bob Palma. Andrew Beckman, archivist for the museum, will moderate the discussion.
The panel discussion will take place at 1 p.m. January 8 in the museum's Wiekamp Auditorium. Admission to the discussion is included with paid admission to the museum. For more information, visit StudebakerMuseum.org.
UPDATE: The city of South Bend will also celebrate the anniversary today with a number of events, including fireworks tonight.
General Motors signs on to support Back to the Bricks
The 2013 Back to the Bricks show in downtown Flint. Photo by Jason Watson.
Since 2005, the annual Back to the Bricks extravaganza has drawn crowds of car fans to Flint, Michigan, for an event that includes car shows, swap meets, parties and a rolling cruise. The celebration of internal combustion and American manufacturing also raises money to produce statues of notable Flint residents (such as William C. Durant, David Dunbar Buick and Louis Chevrolet), thus keeping the city's vibrant automotive history alive. The crowds are a big boost to Flint's economy, too, and now General Motors has stepped to the plate to offer sponsorship assistance for Back to the Bricks.
Though the exact terms of the five-year deal have not been released, GM has agreed to support the non-profit behind Back to the Bricks in several ways. The first is an annual promotional tour, called the Michiana Tour for its route through Michigan and Indiana, that will now be used to raise awareness of Back to the Bricks. Run from June 20-24, the GM-sponsored Michiana Tour will feature 150 classic vehicles, and will serve as live marketing support for Back to the Bricks, held six weeks later.
During the week preceding Back to the Bricks, GM will sponsor "Tune Up Week," where communities in the Flint area will host events of interest to those in the hobby. Finally, GM will provide unspecified financial and logistic support for the Back to the Bricks event itself, which is once again expected to draw over a half-million visitors to the Flint area in August.

GM's recent purchase of the Durant-Dort Carriage Factory in Flint will come into play as well; during the 2013 Back to the Bricks car show, the parking lot of the building played host to a display of Buick automobiles, and it's expected that this space will be offered up for use during future events. Once the conversion of the factory into a multi-use space is complete, it's likely that the building will play a key role in future Back to the Bricks shows, thanks to its centralized location in Flint's Carriage Town district.
GM's interest in Back to the Bricks isn't entirely altruistic; while any GM-related advertising will surely be seen by the show's many attendees, it's also in GM's best interest to promote the economic health of Flint and surrounding communities. The automaker's operations in the Flint area employee roughly 7,500 people, and GM has invested over $1 billion in modernizing its Flint manufacturing plants since 2009. As grows Flint's economy, then, so grow GM's sales.

'some' yellow cucumbers????
..Why are 'some' of my cucumbers suddenly turning yellow?? They are full size, but are yellow instead of green. There are plenty more cucumber on the same plant that are ripening green. What happened to these few and can I still eat them?? Will they be bitter??
Yellow often means left on the vine too long. Cukes are best used at an immature stage so harvesting while sill green and smaller then you are letting them get should solve the problem for you. They cross that line from just right to too old quickly so daily or even 2x daily picking is often needed.
Yes they are still safe to eat, just past prime.
If they are as you describe, then your growing conditions (PH, nutrients, minerals, watering.) are not corrects.
It could also be the variety. I know that Korean cucumbers are mostly white with some green color; A japanes variety is dark green, Armenian is light yllow-green, etc.
How do the leaves of the vines look? Are they pale gree, nice green, dark green???
The leaves are a nice healthy green....all of the plants are growing well....this is just an 'all of a sudden a few' situation where most of the cucumbers are still growing into a healthy green...but about 3 cucumbers (total) on 2 different plants were never green...just were yellow from the beginning and are now large and yellow. They are just a common slicing variety.
I went away on vacation for 2 weeks and I had tiny green cucs that turned as bright a yellow as the squash hey were planted next to. I have pickled them, eaten them in salads and they are fine. The only difference is as cucumbers go they are a bit "tougher" in texture than the younger greener versions. But they are great for pickles.

Brand's hat trick sparks Panthers' win
McKenna Brand's second hat trick of the season led the Park Rapids-Menahga-Nevis-Walker-Hackensack-Akeley girls hockey team to its second win of the season Tuesday night.

what do i have to do if i want to change my tire and rim size ?

2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty Question: tire replacement
Answer #1tunnelram January 01, 2011, 19:27Journeyman
if you want to go with a bigger rim, just make sure that the tires you purchase are close to the correct overall diameter, and that they will handle the weight of the truck.
Answer #2DaveJHM January 02, 2011, 01:45Master
Be very very very cautious. This truck has processors that are very picky about your tire and wheel size.
When you change your tires and wheels, you also need to set the correct parameters in the appropriate control modules (ABS, TCM). If what you install does not come close to available ranges of tire outside diameter, you will have an ongoing anti lock brake system issue and a transmission shifting issue.
Believe me; I operated a Ford service department that handled a ton of modified trucks. It's not a good scene. Especially AFTER making the investment and finding out you can't operate the truck properly.

If you're the type of person who finds yourself reading the oddest and smallest of local human-interest stories at your day job, you may be familiar with this one. This week, a bunch of publications picked up a kooky Craigslist page advertising a "free human size hamster wheel" being given away by a man in Brooklyn, accompanied by a photo of a man in the wheel he allegedly built himself. "Can accommodate up to 200 lbs. Fully functional. Not recommended for houses with small children or animals. 50 lbs of shredded newspaper also available," the listing read, before adding, "I will not have this in my house any longer."

Watch the Men's Epic VHS Video for "I Saw Her Face"
By Jenn Pelly on March 19, 2013 at 3:45 p.m. EDT
Following their recent live clip for "Electric", the Men have today shared a new, VHS-shot video for "I Saw Her Face". (Both tracks are off the New York band's great new album New Moon.) The clip, directed by the band with editing by friend Brian Chillemi, was apparently inspired by Earth, Wind and Fire's "Let's Groove", according to singer/guitarist Mark Perro in a press release. The impressively tripped out VHS effects come via "commercial grade mixers and enhancers." "Nick's guitar is actually on fire on some shots," Rich Samis, the drummer, said. "We like it."

Cobaea scancens (Cup'n saucer Vine)
I'm growing a Cobaea scandens on my balcony. It's 2 meters high, climbing a wall and blooming now.
My wish is to keep it during the winter. My parents have a non heated green house where it could be stored.
Do I have to cut it in november ? if so, how much??
if not, do you think it's ok to take it off the wall and just put it in the green house??
do you think I can keep it on the balcony all winter long. How ? wich protection should I buy??
I am a newbie in gardening, I hope you can help!
Cup and Saucers are classified as annuals here for the most part. That's not to say you can't bring it back....I've done that quite a bit with so called annuals. Your best bet however, is to save the seeds, so you can enjoy it again next year. Try sheltering it, save the seeds, and good luck!

Rhinestones On Crocheted Leg Warmers?
Hi everyone,
I'm crocheting leg warmers for my nieces, sister and my cousin for future gift giving. I was talking to my cousin earlier and said about adding rhinestones to them. She liked that idea and I wanted to ask if it would work? The yarn is regular worsted weight. Not sure of the designs yet but I'll come up with something lol. When they get washed, could they just be turned inside out? The pattern I'm following I have used before and they're the easiest leg warmers I've ever made. The rhinestones I'll just glue on with "fabric tack glue" (what it was called in a video I saw).
To quote a popular cartoon (line from the theme song) from the 80's: I think these will look "truly, truly, truly outrageous!" lol.
Brad AKA Moonwolf
Brad, I would hand wash them, not machine wash them, and lay flat to dry. That is usually the washing instructions on any garment with rhinestones on them purchased from a store. Have fun. I bet they will love them!
Hi Mary,
I've seen the rhinestones with holes in them but they're too small for working with worsted weight yarn. I just might have to look for those next time I go to Michael's or AC Moore. I don't go there that often because they're a little far from me but I'll check them out for sure! Thank you, Mary!
Brad AKA Moonwolf
Hi moonwolf,
What brand are you using for your rhinestones? You might want to buy from this store where I get mine. I'm a fan of their weekly deals. I wait for their deals for discounted rhinestones. lol. Btw, the company is Crystals R Us.
Here is a link that might be useful: Iron on Rhinestones

FEDME hosts International Mountaineering Congress 'CIMA2015': Mountaineering Challenges for the XXI Century
28 Mar, 2015

More than 300 people gathered in Zaragoza, Spain to attend a unique mountaineering congress, CIMA 2015, which brought together key actors and institutions to discuss the challenges of mountaineering in the XXI century.
The congress, which met 26-28 March 2015, was also the venue of the UIAA Management Committee meeting and organized by UIAA member, the Spanish Federation of Mountaineering and Climbing (FEDME) in collaboration with the Aragonese Mountaineering Federation.
During various sessions held on Thursday through Saturday, congress participants discussed five key themes: mountaineering as a sport, its relationship with the environment, society, economic development and issues related to safety and health.
UIAA president Frits Vrijandt who spoke at the opening ceremony said climbers and mountaineers are "one big family that extends throughout the world, such is the camaraderie between them."
Vrijlandt said the main objective is to enjoy the beauty of the mountains, be environmentally sustainable and safe for climbers and mountaineers." He said that to this, "it is vital to create more protected mountain areas, which does not mean closing to the public, but to create an awareness of respect for the environment that allows for these activities carefully."
"This conference aims to respond to the challenges of mountaineering in the XXI century and for that we have voices from different countries of the world and all sectors related to the mountain, sport, health and safety, sociology, economic development, "said Luis Masgrau, president of the Aragonese Federation of Mountain and vice-president of FEDME.
"These issues are highly topical issues addressed in our days as security or cost for mountain rescues, the Olympic future of climbing or ski mountaineering, the proliferation of mountain races."
The opening ceremony was followed by the inaugural conference which featured Basque mountaineer Alex taught Txikon about his attempt on Nanga Parbat (8,125 m). Others who spoke included elite athletes such as Olympic Victor Lobo and Alberto Ilurrategui.
Many of the speaking panels included representatives of the UIAA – Intenational Climbing and Mountaineering Federation such as former Youth Commission president Anne Arran, Steve Long, chair of the UIAA Training Standards Panel, UIAA Honorary Member Ang Tshering Sherpa and UIAA president Frits Vrijlandt.
Other panels included speakers such as Ian Corless, president of the Association of Mountain Racing UK and a member of the Committee on Communication and Image of the ISF (International Federation of mountain races or 'skyrunning.'
Corless said there are about 600,000 athletes from 65 countries who are involved in skyrunning.
"It is a big sport and growing, we have national, continental and world championships. This sport creates an incredible passion, from first to last all are 'skyrunners' and we can see her tears, her passion, something like in other sports, but it gives us something more, "said Corless.
Another panel discussed the impact on rural societies because of mountaineering activities. This panel included UIAA Executive Board member Giorgio Olivetti, director of the Club Alpino Italiano (CAI), who described how his club started activities promote development structures in mountain environments.

Cool research. My experience with customer experience confirms this study.

Pour établir votre proposition de valeur, viser à solutionner les "pains" de vos clients en priorité car les émotions de tristesse, haine, anxiété, déception et désespoir persistent plus longtemps que la plupart des autres émotions.

The other Badgers taken were defensive tackle Nick Hayden by Carolina and receiver Paul Hubbard by Cleveland, both in the sixth round.
