text: I just finished installing the studs and noticed a groove in the back of the oil pump that looks like it may have had an o ring in it but did not see one when I removed it and there's not one below its mounting position. Does anyone know if there is supposed to be one? Also, the front crankshaft seal in the timing cover still looks good but should I change it or leave it alone? Any input is appreciated. In the old days I would replace every seal and gasket but there are several that are not needing to be replaced such as the timing cover to block seal.

Wearing Family
Posted by
This is a fantastic family photo owned by Sharon Pike. It's actually a photo within a photo. In this card portrait, a stunning portrait of a well-dressed middle aged woman, Jane Rivers Meriwether (1829-1897) gazes directly into the camera. Let's look at some of the details.
It appears she has naturally curly hair, but in this period the Marcel Wave was a popular hairstyle. It was invented by Francois Marcel in 1872, created using heated curling irons to form small waves. The style remained popular into the 1930s.
You can read more about Marcel here
Collar and Dress
In the late 1870s and early 1880s, wide collars were commonplace. However, they were usually white and made from fabric. This woman's collar looks like small threads woven and knotted, like macrame. She's used the collar to accent her dress, which is a lovely fitted bodice with small buttons and some fullness to the sleeve.
All right, I admit it: I left the best detail for the end. Jane wears gorgeous drop earrings in what appears to be a floral pattern. Around her neck is a braided necklace made of either hair (yes, hair!) or silk. Both materials were common and popular. In the 19th century, women often wore jewelry made from the hair of their family and friends. Hair jewelry is a fascinating topic and the pieces are quite lovely.
You can learn more about it and see examples in an online article from
Victorian Magazine
. These long braided ropes were often used as watch chains.
The most prominent feature of this card photo is the piece of portrait jewelry at Jane's neckline. It's a large pin setting with a paper photograph of a middle-aged man. Photo jewelry came in all shapes and sizes. I'm particularly fond of it (although it often costs more than my pocketbook can bear <smile> ). The top experts on photographic jewelry are Larry J. West and Patricia Abbott. Their book,
Tokens of Affection and Regard
(published by the authors, out of print) took years to research and write. It's a stunning volume filled with color plates of actual jewelry.
You can view examples on the Smithsonian web exhibit based on their collection
The big question is "Who's the man on the pin?" Sharon wondered if it was Jane's father, who died in 1840, or could it be her husband, Ethelred Westcott, who died sometime between 1870 and 1895. He's a bit of a mystery man; Sharon doesn't have a specific death date.
The dark color of her collar could mean the man in the photo deceased. Jane could have had this pin made from a small card photograph. The man's photo is difficult to see, but it could date from the early 1870s. His suit and tie are from that period. He has a full beard with lots of gray in it. I don't have a birth date for Westcott, but it could be him. Women often wore pins depicting children or a spouse.
This photo of Jane Meriwether dates from the late 1870s or early 1880s. The light pink tone to the card and its gold trim makes me lean toward the late 1870s.

Home Sweet Homestead
Posted by Diane
I just love this picture! It's got a lot of family history layers.
Terry Sargent sent in this photo asking if it was a Civil War-era picture. On the back is written, "Mrs. and Mrs. E.H. Sargent Strawberry." The "Strawberry" refers to Strawberry Point, Iowa, where the family had a farm.
Terry is hoping the photo depicts Emery Holden Sargent, his wife Louisa (Turner) Sargent, and their two children: Harriet (born 1857) and Emery Harford (born 1860). Emery was Terry's grandfather. Let's look at a few things first.
This refers to the history of ownership of the photo. In this case, this photo was originally owned by Terry's aunt Lavera Fink, and then by one of Fink's nieces. That niece gave Terry a copy of the photo.
I examined the photo and enlarged it to view the details of what the folks were wearing. One detail stood out: the woman's hat. I know it's blurry, but you can see the small brim and the high crown of the hat. In the 1860s, women wore bonnets or very small hats, nothing with a crown of this height. This style hat was worn in the 1880s. Would the other details in the photo and family history support this theory?
C. H. Hunt of Strawberry Point, Iowa, has his imprint on this cabinet card. According to
Biographies of Western Photographers
by Carl Mautz (Carl Mautz Publishing, 1997), Hunt was active in 1885. That puts the photo well outside the Civil War period. The decorative elements of the imprint reinforce the 1880s period.
Family History
There were two E.H. Sargents, father and son. So who is depicted in this photo? In the 1880 census, Emery Holden, his wife Louisa, son Emery as well as son Ora and his wife are living on the farm (US Census, Clayton County, Iowa, Caso Township, p. 289).
There are no children listed with the family. Since there is no 1890 census for Iowa, I checked the family again in the 1900 census. This time, the farm is occupied by the younger Emery, his wife and all of their children, several of whom were born in the 1880s ( US Census, Clayton County, Iowa, Caso Township, sheet 18).
There is another bit of family history: Terry told me that according to Emery Holden Sargent's obituary in the
Strawberry Point Press Journal
(1905), Emery left the farm in 1886.
It's likely that this picture was taken around the time when the younger Emery took ownership of the family farm.
There is one odd thing about this picture: its appearance. It is a cabinet card, but the image of the farm is either a copy of another picture (notice the wide black border around it) or the photographer took a different-size negative to shoot the scene. The image itself is blurry when enlarged, while the photographer's imprint is clear. This could mean it's a copy. It's a square image, while most cabinet card-size photos are rectangular. I'd love to see other outdoor shots by this photographer. In either case, the final date for the picture doesn't change. It's from the 1880s.

Summertime Farewell
Posted by
I don't know about you, but I'm having a difficult time saying good-bye to summer. This weekend I took a short field trip to historic Concord, Mass., and ended up in an antique shop. I couldn't resist the piles of unidentified photos. Picked up some of fantastic hairstyles and hats, but also these two beach scenes:
In case you guessed...this wasn't taken in the United States. According to the postcard publishing information on the back, it was taken in Rugen, Germany. This lovely multi-generational family went to the beach. I love the beach hut that shades the two older women and the little girl. Mom and Dad sat in the sand. Can you imagine dressing for the beach in a full suit and dress shoes? The image was taken by A. Haase, circa 1910. Haase may have traveled up and down the beach taking pictures of folks on vacation.
If you want to learn more about this seaside resort, there is a
, but it's in German.
The other image I bought is a snapshot. It's clear from the woman's pose and expression that she is having a good time at the shore. I have no idea where it was taken.
It's a great shot of a young woman in a late 1920s bathing costume. She's the epitome of the late 20s, from the wrap on her head to her glasses and the belted waist. The 1920s saw the evolution of women's swimsuits from blousy, long skirted suits to form-fitting tanks.

Hand-Me-Down Family
Posted by
Years ago, Truli Powell's mother received a box of photos from one of her husband's cousins. Now Truli is trying to date and identify the images. She's hoping that the cousin only gave them images from their specific line.
In this "like mother, like daughter" tintype, the mother and the woman in the back (I'm assuming grandmother) wear nearly identical dress designs and hats. This 1890s scene depicts three generations on an outing. I love the park bench as a prop.
In the second tintype Truli sent, a young man in a suit and coat poses with a painted backdrop that features a house and a wall. The "rock" in the foreground is supposed to create the illusion that he's actually standing outdoors. Since backdrops usually reflect the area where someone lived, I wonder where this was taken.
Truli wants to know if this could be her great-great-grandfather Peter Floyd Powell (1832-1922). Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to the case. This photo depicts a young man probably in his early 20s. From the neatly greased hair to the polished shoes, this is a young man who's dressed very nicely for the late 1880s.
She sent another picture and I have to include it. Last week I focused on
Here, two young girls posed behind a backdrop with cutouts for their heads. Their hats and the car date the picture to the early 1910s. One of the girls would be the right age to be the young girl on the bench in the first photo.
It's too bad that Truli's father's cousin didn't label the photos in some way, but hopefully the information in this column will help her put names with the faces.

Studio Backdrops
Posted by
At last weekend's FGS conference in Knoxville, I did a little shopping. Picked up a couple of interesting books and this lovely trio of photos. I just love the backdrops. This photographer spared no expense.
While in the 19th century most backdrops looked like the outdoors or living rooms, in the 20th century the backdrop often sets the scene into a historical context.
In December 1903, the Wright Brothers lifted off the ground in the first flight. Mass transit by airplane was decades away, but that didn't keep folks from simulating flight. Here, a group of friends are posing in a painted backdrop that looks like an early aircraft, with the skyline at their feet. Their clothing and the design of the airplane dates from circa 1912. You can view early airplanes on the web at
Early Historic Aircraft
In the next postcard, the same woman seated at top right in the first photo takes another picture in the same studio. This time, you can see the airplane set to her left while she sits on a fake racehorse. She wears the same suit and hat so it's possible it was taken on the same day.
In the same batch of photos I found another image of her standing near a painted wall with "Pennsylvania Pullman" on it. George Pullman manufactured train cars, trolley buses and streetcars. You can read more about him on
. I think this is a train car, but I'm still trying to find a reference to the words on the side.
I may not know the name of this woman, but it appears that in the early early 1910s she liked to frequent photo studios with creative backdrops.

It's Time for FGS!

Oh boy...it's time for another national genealogy conference. This time it's sponsored by the Federation of Genealogical Societies. I can't wait!
This year I've partnered with Family Search to provide free photo consultations in the exhibit hall. I'm really looking forward to meeting all the folks (and seeing their photos) that signed up for a slot. Unfortunately, all the spaces are now filled on the
Event Brite site
. My fingers are crossed that I'll be able to do this again.
If you're at the conference, wave and say hi. I'll be in the Family Search booth space.
Back next week, with a photo mystery!

Favorite Photo Mysteries
Posted by
I'm taking a short vacation, so instead of a new column I'm taking a look back at some of my favorite mysteries.
Back in January
I published a photo of the Hobo 8
, a group of young people (above) smiling for the camera. It's a great photo that captures the fun they were having. The sign and the 80 after it remain a mystery. Any ideas?
The problem of the
Texas Twosome
continues to be a challenge. I've taken these photos on the road with me and shown them in locales from coast to coast in the hopes of a new clue. I've outlined researchers' ideas in a series of blog posts, linked below. Please let me know if you have any new thoughts on the matter.
Two Texas Mysteries
Texas Mystery Puzzle—No News
Texas Trouble: Readers Respond
Texas Twosome Revisited
A fun picture of another group of friends was the image from
Clues from Hats and Backgrounds
. I love the fact that photos are in the background. Those images could help solve the identity of the people in the photo, if only they were clearer.

Your Mourning Pictures
Posted by
Two weeks ago I
about mourning traditions and clothing and asked for e pictures of women wearing mourning clothes. This week, I'm featuring the two I received as well as one from my work collection of images.
Toni Mann sent in this very interesting photo. It's a 20th century snapshot. It blurs when I enlarge it, but I think the women in the far background are wearing clothing from the early 1900s. The woman to the left of the headstone wears late 1890s mourning clothes. Perhaps her husband is buried there. Toni thinks it was taken in the Chicago area. Anyone recognize the headstone?
Charman Davis emailed this photo of the Hulse Family August 1907 reunion. The woman on the left lost her husband the previous month. Everyone wears light-colored summer clothes except for the widow.
I bought this photo several years ago. It dates from the late 1890s and depicts a woman in mourning standing by a burial. It's a new grave, based on the fresh flowers piled on it. It's intriguing that a widow would hire a photographer to take her picture in this setting.

Prize Catch
Posted by
No doubt about it, I've looked at a lot of family photos. Every so often there's an image that not only depicts an ancestor, but also documents a bit of local history. Take this photo, for instance:
Pamela Fisher sent me this photo owned by her cousin Lorrie Glover. The women thinks the man on the right (with the dog) is their great-grandfather Otis Shepardson.
Not everyone in the family agrees. Shepardson was born in 1880 in Home Valley (Cowlitz County), Wash.
This picture is mounted to a gray piece of card stock. It can be difficult to date a group photo where no one is wearing very fashionable clothes. Men's clothing is particularly challenging because the fashion changes are subtle. The style of men's hats suggests that it was taken circa 1900. If that's true then it could be Otis.
There is one woman in the picture. She wears a frontier-style bonnet that protects her face from the sun. Perhaps one of the boys is her son.
Also in the photo is a man in the background who looks like he just stepped off his horse. He wears a cowboy hat and a kerchief around his neck.
This photo just begs the viewer to fill in the details and answer these questions.
Who shot the mountain lion?
Why are the men gathered around? (It could be the day the lion was placed there.)
I think I
why a taxidermied mountain lion is on display in the town. It's quite possible that this animal threatened the town. Once it was shot, the town mounted it on tree stump (notice the wooden post to keep its head up). Whoever shot it must have been the town hero.
My husband's ancestral hometown of Peru, Vt., once had a bear on display in the town center. I have photographic proof in an early 20th century postcard.

Mourning Clothes
Posted by
Ten years ago, I analyzed a photo sent to me from a woman in New Zealand. In the
New Zealand Mystery
, I discussed the family information, but also described her clothing and how it indicated she was in mourning.
Queen Victoria set the standard for both wedding attire and for mourning. After the death of Prince Albert in 1861, she wore black mourning clothes for the rest of her life. In the Victorian era, men would wear a black armband when someone died, but women wore full black crape (the 19th century spelling for
) dresses for a year and a day. Then they wore just crape-trimmed black dresses for another 21 months. (Tortora and Eubank,
Survey of Historic Costume,
But what if your family didn't have the resources of the woman depicted above? A wardrobe of mourning clothes probably wasn't economically feasible. Instead, clothes could be rented or borrowed for the funeral. According to the 1877 article by Henry R Hatherly, "Mourning Clothes as a Source of Infection" (
Sanitary Record: A Journal of Public Health
Google Books
), less-fortunate folks were spreading disease by wearing clothing worn by others—in particular, skin and parasitic diseases.
Not just Queen Victoria's subjects followed mourning customs. This week I looked at a tintype from Dresden. The dark clothing and the large hat with long, heavy fabric at the back suggests this 1880s woman is in mourning. The style of the hat is a bit unusual. I think the browband helps keep the hat on her head.
If you have any 19th-century photos of family wearing crape, I'd love to see them. You can
e-mail them to me

Kwame Kilpatrick Raising Funds for Appeal
Incarcerated former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick needs your cash.
A dramatic YouTube video narrated in part by Kilpatrick's mother, former congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, asks the public to donate money to the Freedom & Justice Trust which was established to pay for Kwame Kilpatrick's appeal.
According to the website freedomjusticetrust.com, funds raised would be used for expenses including attorneys fees and court costs.
Kilpatrick was sentenced last fall to 28 years in federal prison on convictions for racketeering, bribery, extortion and tax crimes.
He's also been ordered to pay more than $4 million in restitution to Detroit.

Baltimore Convention
Aaah yes! the sweet, sweet aroma of sweaty spandex and cheap cologne brewed just right!. Let me ask you dear reader, can life get any better at this time of year? Allow me to answer my own question with the immortal words of the master thespian Will Smith: "Hell, No!"
I wouldn't miss it for the world! in fact, I know I won't, because I'll be there, I don't have a table yet, and if I don't get one, I'll be walking around aimlessly, but I'll definitely be attending. If you live in the area and have nothing better to do on Saturday the 17th and Sunday the 18th, stop by and say hello.
In the meantime, here's more chicken scratch:

Why God? Why must I click every 'Sweaty Spandex' link I find out of curiosity?

Ah, Baltimore! Home of H. L. Mencken, original curmudgeon of American letters, and author of one of my favorite quotes: "No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public."
See if you can still order terrapin there.
Nifty drawings, as usual. I've always wondered what causes that wavy look of the paper - looks like it buckled from getting wet...

Vanoni: Look who's calling me a perv! You should click on that link one more time, Mr. C, I promise it will be worth your doing so, now that I know what your fetish is.
Bill: Brilliant man, that Mencken fellow, I had no knowledge of his existence, but now I feel compelled to find out all I can about him.
A little-known fact, Baltimore was also at one point the home of one Gustav Millinberg, convicted of 278 counts of vandalism and destruction of private property, who roamed the Maryland countryside wreaking havoc in colonial times. He was responsible for one of my favorite quotes of all times: " If it ain't broken, break it".
...Actually Bill, I just made that up, but you must admit it did sound legit ..and pointless, which is precisely the point.
Sadly, terrapin is no longer part of the fine Baltimore sea food establishments' menu, but I've heard the manatee is out of this world.
Regarding the paper's wavy condition, my very perceptive friend, it is well known to those who have followed my so called career, that those imperfections are due to "Mars The Dog's" nifty little habit of urinating all over my stacks of tracing paper, but fear not Bill, the paper has already been air-dried and it no longer poses a threat to my health.

text: This saturday a buddy and I are going goose hunting in some of the fields nearby. I've never goose hunted before and am not sure what size shot I should use. I've got my dads G&H shells and know to have them facing into the wind, but don't know how many to use. I also don't know what kind of spread to put out. Also, I don't have a blind. Will I be alright just laying on the ground in my camo? My dad says since they're local geese I don't have to worry about calling them, but can anyone recommend a decent, inexpensive call. Thanks in advance.

I used to be Molly Random....it's now Molly Ramdon...less fake sounding .... at least to me since she's real....to me....
She's someone that would say things to the world that "I" wouldnt normally say...she's my guts, she's the only voice in my head telling me I CAN do it, so why not rejoice her by finally breathing life into her name?
Molly= the puppet from Big Comfy Couch, my favorite show to this day.
Ramdon= used to be Random, got the idea when I asked a friend to pick a "random last name" and he said "random last name" smartest thing he said all year!
I am sure I'll give people in my zine pseudonyms to keep the anonymity but I am planning on a special way of naming them so only they know when I am talking about them :D
I use a fake name for freedom.I didn't have any say in choosing my real name.Plus,what if the cops come looking for me,or somebody tries to sue me because my zine incited thier kid or something?Also,the IRS might try to bust me for income off my art.With a fake name,nobody from my work or house will connect me to my art or writing.Plus,its punc roc to have a fake name.Now,though,its kind of burdensome,and Ive tried to shake it but cant.I got it because I used to wear baggy pants from Goodwill and listen to ska.Then I started tagging it,so it stuck.
i use a pseudonym because i hate my real name.

I have found that I love the SM shampoos, but the conditioners are just okay. I have tried a couple of them and don't find them to have much slip or leave me feeling really conditioned- there are many conditioners I like better.
My FAVE products from Shea Moisture are the BABY head to toe washes (used as body wash AND shampoo), the BABY body lotions, and the Yucca (green label) MILK! I use the milk as a leave-in and it is AWESOME.
The baby lines have the most amazing scents of all. The head to toe washes act like a clarifying shampoo, more than a conditioning shampoo, but there are no sulfates.
I do love the Yucca (green) shampoo too, and feel it is moisturizing enough and my hair doesn't feel stripped after I wash.

"The cards came printed on heavy paper and the colors were bright and fun. I ordered them for my daughter's birthday. Everyone that saw them loved them. The picture on the card made them even better. I would buy from tiny prints again."
"I'm extremely happy with the final product and the service Tiny Prints provided. My cards arrived extremely quickly and I love them!"
"Beautiful card and I'm always impressed with the turn around time of Tiny Prints. So wonderful for a busy mother who is running behind on birthday planning"
"I loved the simplicity of it. I got many compliments. My only concerned was the writing in pink on the back could've been a bit darker. Besides that the paper quality was great and my photo came out beautifully."
"This card is perfect for my little Thomas the Train obsessed son and his third birthday party. Be sure to review your card before you order because I erased the "3" in the middle of the red dot on the train and didn't realize it until it was too late. But otherwise it is an absolutely adorable card."

Kristyn and Billy were married at the Barn at Gibbet Hill in Groton, Mass. on July 12. "We found the venue through our photographer's blog," Kristyn said. "She had photographer another couple at the barn, and it was the rolling, green hills that frist made me want to check it out. When we first got out of the car on our first visit there, I knew it was where we could be married . . . it was different from all the other venues we had been to." The bride wore a strapless satin a-line wedding gown with a ruched bodice, accessorized with her hair half-up/half-down with loose curls, jeweled sash, and a pair of t-strap sandals, while the groom wore a light gray vest and pants, accessorized with a tie. Bridesmaids wore long pink chiffon dresses and carried bouquets of roses, hydrangeas, daisies, and spider mums. Guests were greeted with a pair of sunglasses to not be blinded by the love. "My aunt was the officiant, so it made the ceremony much more personal for us," she said. "That Saturday in July was the most perfect day, all sun and no humidity. It allowed for us to enjoy everything the property had to offer, including having our ceremony out on the lawn. The rustic setting allowed us to use so many rustic details, from bright flowers in mason jars hanging off the sides of chairs to drinking sangria out of mason jars with paper straws to having a wooden pallet for everyone to sign, I could go on and on." The reception followed inside the barn lit with chandeliers from beams. Tables were decorated with damask patterned linens, square wooden centerpieces, heart-shaped chalkboard numbers, and votive candles surrounded by chiavari chairs. "For our entrance, we came out to Whitney Houston's 'I Want to Dance with Somebody,'" Kristyn said. "I feel like it started the night off right and continued the party from there. It was so much fun, and I can replay it over and over in my head." A four-tiered buttercream-frosted cake was served for dessert. The newlyweds' best advice? "Enjoy every moment, don't stress over the small stuff," she said. "Everything will come together. We were engaged for almost 2 years, and it flew by."

Apple Tops In Tech Naming and Branding? Not really.
I was fascinated to read that Apple might not be the top tech brand, according to the Harris Poll EquiTrend study.
Consumers picked Verizon as the top mobile carrier brand and Motorola was the top mobile phone brand. Yes, that's right, Motorola. Apple placed fifth behind HTC, SonyEricsson and Nokia.
I have to say this is surprising. As one Harris executive pointed out, "Apple may have the market cornered on technology enthusiasts, but Motorola satisfies a much wider audience... There is still a large audience of consumers that aren't interested in a smartphone running their life, and Apple doesn't have a product to meet that need."
Touche. Apple also didn't make the top ranking for personal computers - HP took that honor with Apple coming in as a close second. Sony was tops in consumer electronics, where Apple wasn't even ranked (odd).
According to the company's press release material:
This year's Harris Poll EquiTrend® study was conducted online among 25,099 U.S. consumers ages 15 and over between January 11 and 27, 2011. A total of 1,273 brands were rated in 53 separate categories. Each respondent was asked to rate a total of 60 randomly selected brands. Each brand received approximately 1,000 ratings.
The results were deemed to be representative of the entire US population over the age of 15.
Does this mean that Apple is losing its touch? Doubtful.
The company still demands massive brand loyalty, but other brand names are snapping at its heels.
I find the research results questionable.

Naming and Branding Can Make You Drive Recklessly
Two separate studies out now are pretty darn fascinating.
The first is from Buyology and is entitled The Most Desired US Brands Report, which has found significant and startling differences between men and women when it comes to their favorite brands.
Women like Amazon, Sony and Target while men like car brands. No surprise there.
But guess what the all time favorite brand is for men... Crest toothpaste. This beat BMW!
Women, in turn, chose Johnson & Johnson as their favorite brand in spite of a year of repeated recalls and negative publicity.
I'd imagine this has a great deal to do with how ubiquitous these brand names
are in our lives.
The male love of car brands has also been good news to Ford, whose brand is now right near the top in consumer perception.
A separate survey shows that almost half of the respondents actually do not care about car brands at all. Can you guess which half of the population this is?
The second study is even more intriguing. Two Boston College professors have put out a report in the Journal of Consumer Psychology that has proven that Red Bull really does "give you wings."
People playing a video game with the logos of Guinness, Tropicana, Coca-Cola and Red Bull adorning respective cars invariably drove the Red Bull car more recklessly.
The professors call this "non-conscious brand priming," which essentially means that we start to take on the personalities of the brands we interact with.
When we think of Red Bull, we tend to think of "speed... power... hyper... extreme," and drive accordingly.
Which leads to to say... please stay out of the automobile business, Red Bull!

Google, Apple Set to Defend Brand Names and Trademarks
Monday brings two pieces of trademark news that are burning across the blogoshere.
The first trademark issue has to do with UK based Internet channel YouView, which just might sound too much like YouTube for owner Google.
Beachcroft LLP, a UK law firm, has already indicated that the name is "reckless" and that YouTube could "stop [YouView] in its tracks." They add, "'There's no doubt that the use of 'You' coupled with the unusual capitalised character in the middle of the word means that many consumers will think there's a connection between the two,' said [Robin Fry, Beachcroft intellectual property partner]. 'The BBC consortium are playing a dangerous game by trading on YouTube's brand.'"
The name, YouView, actually appears to be a mashup of YouTube and Freeview, which is a "brand that is currently synonymous with digital terrestrial television in the United Kingdom."
Google thus far has refused to comment, but the sheer size of the consortium behind the name (which includes the BBC) is enough to attract Google's attention, I am sure.
In other news, Apple is gearing up yet again to protect its ownership of the word "pod." This time the culprit is a San Francisco startup called Video Pod.
Back in January 2009, Apple put forward the following statement to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO): "This is a straightforward case of an applicant who intentionally selected and applied for a mark confusingly similar to Apple's famous iPod mark in order to capitalise on the fame and goodwill of Apple's mark." The trial begins this week, and Apple is not backing down.
The startup has been fighting Apple for three years over this, with the owner of the mark saying to Wired.com, "'I'm trying to look at it on the big picture...What I'm hoping to do with this case is to really reach a lot broader of an audience and make it so entrepreneurs and small businesses can use the English language as they see fit in branding their products.'"
It may be inconvenient that every word in the dictionary has been used in a URL and that so many of them have been trademarked, but this is the basis of trademark law. Naming a company or a product legally is simply a difficult task in a crowded market and one does not need to be a marketing expert to see that the word "pod" has serious equity for Apple.
Daniel Kokin, founder of the startup, says of the suit, "'My team started working on the Video Pod in 2000, and it took us years to go from prototype to funded...At that time, Apple didn't even enter our minds as a competitor. Now it's 2010 and I still don't think Apple is interested in video projection, but I'm supposed to rename our product because Apple also uses 'pod'?'"
Um, well, yes. That's how trademarks work.

Today We Remember The Biggest Naming and Branding Debacle of the Last 100 Years: New Coke
So it was 25 years ago today that the biggest naming and branding debacle ever took place. Ladies and gentlemen, lets spare a thought for the memory of New Coke, one of marketing's biggest blunders. It lasted for a whole 79 days, after which Coke's CEO Roberto Goizueta, acceded to consumer outrage and trashed the brand name and brought back the old stuff.
I have to wonder if this was the first true example of crowdsourcing, even if it was inadvertent.
"People went completely and utterly berserk" says one author, and "it didn't really matter if New Coke tasted better or not."
The archivist for Coke tells us "There were protests in the streets, people would flood our telephone lines. We got thousands and thousands of letters from consumers demanding that we bring back the original formula."
Coke did the research. Eight out of ten people liked New Coke better than Old Coke. They liked it better than Pepsi. But they didn't like the idea of the famous brand changing.
And when they gave us back the Real Thing, their market share went from 24% TO 39%, but to this day Coke denies that New Coke was some kind of ruse.
It was called "Project Kansas" in its beta stage and was an idea that came about after Pepsi's notorious Pepsi Challenge ads. The New Coke Catatastophe ended with an interview on the Today Show in which the head of Coca Cola North America, Donald Keough, told the world just how important the "intrinsic" versus "extrinsic" nature of marketing was:
"Intrinsics means I buy the product because I like the way it tastes. Extrinsics is: I buy the product because I like the image. It's fun. It's friendly. It's American. Used to be, we bought the product primarily because of taste."The reverberations of this would hang around.
New Coke became Coke II and stayed with us until 2002. Then Coca Cola Classic became just Coca-Cola in 2007.
This means that this one naming decision would not leave our screen for 22 years, despite the product itself only being around for a couple of months.
Today Henry Unger asks us to find find other examples of huge corporate missteps.
Paul McNamara on Buzz Blog tells us that the Internet would have helped prevent this, leaks to the blogosphere and Facebook outrage would have stopped Coke in its tracks.
But other companies still manage to keep their secrets until the very last minute, like, say, Apple.
Here's to you, New Coke. You are a warning to all of us.

Rocker stud boss cutter - sold by Cylinder Head Supply. Listed under valve guide tools. It's a little pricey if you only do one set of heads - $160 - but if you do a bunch it could pay for itself.
Cylinder Head Supply
|The Following User Says Thank You to ericnova72 For This Useful Post:
tresi (03-23-2014)
That's not quite what I was remembering but very close. Maybe tI had access to one.
ok, I bought the comp tool for the stud bosses. I milled one down. Tossed on this pushrod check tool, as I have the adjustable rod kind and now this plastic checker. So my problem is, the plastic checker is calling for a shorter pushrod. So just for kicks, I put the adjustable pushrod in to the length that the plastic one wants to sit level with the valve. You'd think it was good, but when I put the rocker on, its way off.
Also when using the adjustable pushrod, if its too short when I'm setting up zero lash, and say I try and turn my poly lock as if I was preloading the lifter (I know isn't quite necessary right now) but it bottoms out the lock. When I raise the push rod up a little, I can then turn my poly lock to the 1/2-3/4 turn. So that also tells me, I have to have a longer pushrod than what this plastic one is calling for. Unless I'm doing something wrong. any thoughts.
Boss does not look milled down enough to me, you don't just want to mill it just enough to make it flat, you have to remove nearly 3/8" of the height from the original as-cast boss.
You remove boss height equal to the length from the bottom of the wrench hex on the stud(where it will tighten against the head) to the point the stud is a straight shank again(about 1/8" or so above the wrench hex on the stud, after the flair down to the hex head ends on the shank).
If you are using guideplates, the boss has to be milled even more to counteract that thickness
The final boss height will only be about 1/8" or so higher then the surface the cylinder head bolt next to it tightens down against. (If using guideplates also)
thanks for the reply. I milled it down about .250 I'm not using guideplates. I just got a quote on head work of $145, another shop was 250 which is higher than I hoped. But either that or I get a drill press to mill these down so they are all right.
Not to mention I practically ruined the one head since some of the studs are crooked. the other head was fine, so I can't recall what I did as this was a while ago. The summitt tool I have, I noticed has a ton of play in the threads if I put my tap in it and also if I thread a bolt in it, it has some play in it. So rather than risk my other head, I want to just take them to a shop to avoid any more disasters. Once I get a drill press, I'll learn on my other junk heads I have laying around. anyone have any problems with the tapping tool for the studs and doing it by hand?
99, your posts are a little confusing. You stated you "milled" one boss down in a previous post. How did you go about doing this. Please don't tell me you used a hand drill. What tool did you use. I know people cut these on drill presses but a milling machine or valve seat type machine(Serdi etc.) is the proper way. Set up on a milling machine will take a little more time without a head fixture$$ than a seat cutting machine$$$$$$.
yeah hand drill with the comp cutting tool. that head in the pic is hosed anyway. I'm getting a drill press, trying that same head. If it works I'll do my final head. Or take my good head to the machine shop.
My problems are. 1st and foremost studs in my one head are crooked, other head were fine, don't know why. I used the summit tool to tap the studs. So my plan was to align another head up in a drill press square and level the head, run the tap by hand with the drill press. Also use the drill press to mill down the stud bosses so they are all even and flat.
Problem 2. I milled the one boss down, so I can check the rocker geo. which perhaps I do need to mill down the boss more. I just measured the thickness of the hex which was .250.
I'm not running guide plates. So what I need is both heads milled down, one head tapped and to finalize my pushrod length.
I just used the summit brand tool yesterday for tapping my studs in my vortec heads. They are all straight and perfect looking. The threads in the tool should be closest to the stud boss. If you have it turned upside down so the threads are furthest away you could be getting more play in the tap to allow it to go crooked. Also when tapping the holes don't use the tap that came in a cheap $25 tap set. Go to the auto parts and get a good tap. Check your tapped holes that you are saying are crooked without the studs torqued down. If your stud bosses aren't milled flat it could be allowing the stud to tweak a little while it's looking for a base to sit on.
I just recently milled the bosses down with a hougan magnetic drill press cutter. It took a while to build a plate for the drill to sit on but after that it was simple to do. With the help of ericanova I ended up with darn near perfect results. I don't think my local shop could've done any better.
99,To be honest you do not have the proper tools or equipment to mill down the stud bosses and tap the holes for screw in studs properly. I am not knocking you in anyway. I commend your effort. To do this right and save your heads from the scrap pile, bring them to an engine machine shop. The spindle needs to be exactly perpendicular to the stud boss even before thinking of putting a cutter into the spindle. There are many ways to do this. Some use an indicator some use a pilot level as well as fixtures( precision ground plates to indicate off off) as stated before. If you go to youtube and look at fiatnuts page he has tons of engine machining vids as well as machining for screw in studs.
I have done a couple on my Brigeport milling machine(DRO on all axis) (home garage) and it takes some time to set them up cause I do not have a head fixture $$. The Z axis DRO really helps with dialing in the right value you want for a depth and just set the stops and go.
Yes a mag drill will work too but they are not cheap either.

well the first issue that I can see in the pics is that you have a shouldered stud, tupicaly used with guide plate insatallation, the rocker sits up to high. if you don't want machine the stud bosses down you need to change to a shoulderless screw in stud, on the vortec the clearance is pretty close between the bottom of the roller rocker and the stud boss. you didn't state what type of rockers you have. you should be using a narrowed rocker for vortec heads, and they also need to be self aligning if your not running guide plates. you can correct the lift issue of the retainer hitting the guide with new aftermarket springs and retainers as opposed to longer valves, or have the guide bosses machined down, this is assuming coil bind is not of an issue. hope this helps.
. Don't know if you started at the beginning or not: Vortec heads often can't take more than about .465" -.480" lift without the spring retainer hitting the valve seal/valve guide... your lift is .525"...
. That can be fixed with an Alex No Mods kit:
VALVE SPRING KIT, SB CHEVY VORTEC, HI-PERF HYD ROLLER - Alex's Parts Sales
. Then the pushrods length/rocker arm body height needs to be setup so the rocker arm tip stays near the center of the valve stem tip over its range of motion when engine is running...
Hey guys, thanks for the input. I'd like to say please read from page 1 before commenting. There are issues being brought up that aren't the issue. I'v stated self aligning rockers before. Yes Vortec heads, its in the title. I'm completely aware of the lift issues with vortecs, that isn't my problem. I'm double checking everything and making sure I have all the proper clearances.
The only thing I was unsure of is the milling of the stud boss. I know I can use shoulderless or shouldered. I'v chosen shouldered cause I'v heard enough to deter me from shoulderless.
My initial problem was rocker hitting stud, I'v since been aware my stud sits too high, so mill down the boss. Which I bought the Comp tool to do so. My one head is already ruined cause for some reason every
other stud is leaning in, so its a consistent error, thats another problem I just brought to the table.
All I need is to mill down the bosses and tap one head. Then I need to decide on pushrod length. From my last photos, there seems to be conflicting results with the plastic checker vs the rocker actually being on there. So it could def mean I don't have the stud boss milled down enough. I only did that one on the ruined head to see if that solved my problem on the geometry. I understand the sweeping method as well.
TSCBB, yeah I hear you. I'v had enough and want to just take them to a shop with the right tools. But at the same time, if there is a way to do it at home I'm surely that guy. I just bought the Comp tool and a drill press, so that could have paid for the machine work from the gate!!
crussel85, didn't see your post. Yeah I made sure the tap threads were closest to the stud. Only thing I can think of aside from there being play in those threads with a tap and bolt (not sure if its suppose to have play, seems fishy to me) there is also a tiny bit of play in the arbor. So with that play in the arbor and the tap threads, I'm guessing things could get off. But its a consistent pattern. I think what might have happened and I can't recall which way I did it on either head, as on one I might have used the existing press in stud as my guide then tapped the other stud. Then I used the arbor in the tapped stud to tap the other stud.
question is, should I pull out all the studs and tap with the arbor, or tap off of one stud first? I figure I got one head right, but I can't figure out if I pulled all the studs first. Also I think lining it up in a drill press and tapping it by hand with the press will keep it perfect.
I do have a good tap handle, not the cheapo kind.

Colgate Crowdsources Participants For Latest Campaign Through Facebook
In support of a charity for children, Colgate engages its social network in a new series of digital ads.
Leading oral hygiene brand Colgate embarks on an advertising campaign that utilizes user-generated content from its network of Facebook users for Barnardo's, a British charity dedicated to caring for vulnerable children. In partnership with VML London, Colgate invited its Facebook followers to "share a smile for charity" for Barnardo's by uploading a picture of themselves smiling. The pictures were then randomly flashed on digital billboards across Birmingham, Liverpool, and London.
Titled "Keeping Britain Smiling," the ad campaign aims to collect one million "smiles" over the summer; once this figure has been achieved, Colgate pledges to donate £100,000 to Barnardo's. According to Gemma Brown, account manager at VML London, digital outdoor is
the perfect platform to leverage Colgate's social media activity. Integrating the photos of Facebook users is a good fun incentive for anyone who's dreamed of starring in their own billboard campaign.

New wall oven has 4 wires wall has three
I took out the old 1963 house double wall oven out of the unit without looking how it was wired. I now have a new single oven that has 4 wires, reg black white and green. The old oven had the same 4 wires (as its still in my back yard) however the wall wires are black white and green earth. The trips are connected together in the box and 30 amp each. Am I OK connecting the whte and green together? That must have been how the old one was connected anyway. Is there a danger to this as it must be against new construction code. I will check the voltage on the wires in the morning as I forgot my meter today.
You should verify the voltage on the new unit. Your old setup was 240 volt only.
With a two wire cable and the double pole breaker, both the black and white are hot. The white would not be connected to the green.
I have to make a couple of inferences from your opening. You mention that the wall wires are black white and earth green. I am presuming that there is one black, one white and one green. You also didn't mention if both the black and the white were hot. I am going to presume so. Given that, it looks like your oven was wired without a neutral. Pretty common once-upon-a-time. All new 240V appliances are wired for neutral now. You have a couple of choices. You should be able to go out and purchase a three pronged plug for your oven. If that is not the case, then I would suggest re-running the 240V live from the box. Instead of useing 8/3, you would use 8/4. I'm guessing on the 8 guage since you didn't identify the amperage draw of the oven. The guage would depend on the amperage.
You oven will have direction for installing a three prong cord to replace the four prong cord. The is likely a jumper inside that needs to be installed.
39 Attachment(s)
replace the cord on your oven. Where the cord goes into the oven there will be a little access panel to get to everything. There should be a jumper you can install (or make your own with some copper wire) and hook the white wire (or rather where the white wire will hook up to) to the frame of the oven. Then just wire up your new cord . Then just plug it in to the existing receptacle.
This is only for existing installations. Code requires you to update the wiring to 4 wire if you ever open up the walls

When Nautical Enterprises closed its doors in mid-June, the 75 people who worked for the West Coast's largest dealership found themselves suddenly out of a job. Despite the poor economy and its affect on the marine industry, most of those people have secured new employment.
That was evident at the San Diego Yacht and Boat Show last week, according to Barrett Canfield, who was vice president for Nautical's Southwestern Yachts division.
"It was amazing for me to see just about every one of the former Nautical employees working somewhere in that show," he told Soundings Trade Only. "Everyone landed back in the industry that they trust and love and it was very visible at that show.
"We just all have different color shirts now," he added.
For his part, Canfield solved his unemployment problem by starting up his own dealership – South Coast Yachts – and taking over the Beneteau line in the same territory he covered for his former employer. He's even occupying the same San Diego office he did when he was with Nautical Enterprises.
"It's going to be plug-and-play," he said.
Canfield said he's had a tremendous amount of support from Beneteau customers as well as other marine companies – from delivery captains to canvas makers to marinas – whose businesses were affected by the closure of Nautical Enterprises. And he got the financial backing he needed from Rick Day, a Beneteau customer who Canfield says has a very keen business sense.
"We just absolutely believe in the market and in the industry," Canfield said of himself and his new business partner.
