[Note: if you're new to 'Web 2.0' then read Tim O'Reilly's 'What is Web 2.0' article]
Despite my reservations about the hype surrounding Web 2.0 I thought I really ought to find out a bit more, so yesterday I went to Carson Workshops's 1 day event, The Future of Web Apps.
There was a great speaker line up with all the big names in Web 2.0 - Flickr, Delicious, 37 Signals, DropSend, Mint, Google Maps.
They'd also managed to fill 800 seats - almostly exclusively with blokes blogging on laptops as far as I could see.
There's certainly some "cool stuff" going on but I was going to see if I could start to understand the business / marketing / commercial implications of "Web 2.0".
I still don't quite have the answer - the companies talking Web 2.0 at the moment have been built from the ground up as such. I'm after "before and after" case studies where applying Web 2.0 thinking and technologies has demonstrated commercial gain - know of any?
Here are a few thoughts on Web 2.0 from a commercial point of view...
1. Can it save you money?
Yes, it probably can. If you can (re)use applications, data and services that already exist then that should save you time and money. Pick 'n mix and create your own web platform/service.BUT... the barriers to entry, and costs, are lowered for everyone, not just you. So that means more competition, less competitive advantage. And, do you really want to risk your business based upon a collection of web services where you quite possibly have no SLA, no contract, no guarantee that they'll be around next week?
2. Can it make you money?
Yes. For new businesses / start ups there appear to be 3 broad options:
1. Build a huge user base and get bought by Yahoo! (Flickr style...)
2. Build a niche service / application that solves a particular problem and use the web's reach to sell it at a comparatively low price (Basecamp style...)
3. Build a great API and licence it to other businesses (Mint style...)But what about established companies and brands?
Yes-ish? The argument is that an improved user experience or service will increase conversion rates, customer retention etc.
BUT... things like AJAX and other Web 2.0 technologies really aren't that easy to do and to get to work across all browsers and devices. By all accounts, it's actually pretty damn hard. Which means time-consuming and expensive I guess? The whole issues of Accessibility was also neatly side-stepped - I think WEB 2.0 can be accessible, but it's really not easy.
3. Can it help your online marketing?
Yes, in as much as you can distribute, feed, mash and generally push and pull content, applications and services all around the web. Most the companies speaking emphasis the fact that they have spend nothing on marketing and that it has all come about through viral awareness and being embedded in and around the web, with a resulting 'network effect' doing all the marketing work for them.BUT... are those days already almost over? How many feeds can one man eat in a day? Even the founder of del.icio.us admitted that RSS used to be a big deal a couple of years ago and now "I'm not so sure...". And there's us thinking that RSS was supposed to herald the death of e-mail?
>> What about the "social software / collaborative / sharing" benefits of Web 2.0? Surely they will help you market your products or services "better, faster, cheaper"?
BUT... benefiting from the network effect requires critical mass. A lot of it. If you can be like eBay and absolutely dominate your space then you're sorted, no doubt. If not, you risk just fading away as an 'also ran'.
>> What about the Web 2.0 notion of 'Clean URLs' - URLs that are absolute and permanent identifiers, which are semantically meaningful to the user rather than exposing the technology underneatch. i.e using a URL like http://www.e-consultancy.com/jobs/ rather than something like http://www.e-consultancy.com/content_id?=123&session_id=blahblahblah
BUT... I thought this was old news? We did that years ago (URL rewriting) only then it was about search engine optimisation - and still is for many.
So, here's what I'm after - 'before and after' case study example of where established sites / companies have used Web 2.0 technologies and thinking and can show commercial benefit as a result. Or rather, ones who are actually happy to talk about it / share the results...
Know of any?
Ashley Friedlein
CEO, E-consultancy.com -
Investment leading technology or technology leading investment?
Web 2.0 seems to be the second one does it not?I think there is a case for this technology. But the point I believe is that there is much much lower hanging fruit to be picked for most e-commerce organisations ,who in many cases, have yet to sensibly get their heads around or optimise their existing ecommerce revenue channels.
i am yet to see a web 2.0 business case that might produce a ROI comparable to that which you can derive from the more 'traditional' or conventional forms of online marketing (Email, PPC, SEO, content optimisation etc).
It seems to be that a bunch of nerds have come up with some clever/sexier ways to do things and because the economy/market is so 'bullish' at the moment, people are just wanting to spend money on 'something'
Web 2.0 seems like a good outlet for all that money. Reminds me a bit of the late 90'sI would however be interested to see what happens with smarter web to VOIP integration from the likes of the Telcos, Skypes and Google-talks of this world.
Can we make the web a verbal (voice) community as much as a text/HTML community?I wonder what this forum would be like if i could use a VOIP client to leave my verbal comments instead of having to type all this??
Would i pay extra for that privilege to eConsultancy? Probably not. Would i pay extra to Mr Skype. MaybeAll this new fangled technology!!? - Maybe im getting old

Nice post. You focus though upon the front-end and consumer-visible aspects of W2 - the 'behind the scenes' and mindset requirements are of equal import, imho.
While I don't pretend to understand W2, the boxes it ticks for me though are:
- reuse, don't reinvent - why burn cash recreating A4 paper? a directory? a service - just use it (with permission, under rules of course)
- turn data/stuff into services - make static repositories or by-products into service offerings. Traditional "service business" model, but only now widely possible
- components are king - modularity, mix and match, plug and play, rightsized code... All ways of saying that W2 is about orchestrating appropriate small nuggets of code, data or functionality. The mantra is 'how small can it be' rather than 'how big can it get'
- agile and flexible - while requirements may persist, the methods and parameters may change. Frequently. Just suck it up and move on.
- openness and interoperation. Don't close doors to other inventions or fair uses.
There are of course risks and challenges. Leaving aside the impact this has on the culture of traditional organisations (there are more of these than generally admitted when it comes to this level of agility) W2 has at its heart some requirements which are not stable:
- solutions and cool exemplars start as passion-oriented, free services. In this, the creators cost their time at zero. This is not sustainable since (surely) Yahoo can't make multimillionaires of all of them. Can they? :)
- Licensing: currently there's open and free access to key data repositories (eg Amazon, Yahoo). While it suits these data-generators to make this freely available for now, could you count on this continuing? For how long? Maybe an innocent "charge" to cover server request processing overhead? Oh go on...
This said, W2 is an interesting syszygy between business models, practice and technology. As software moves to "service oriented architectures"; methodologies become "agile"; customers are ever more segmented... seems to me as if W2 is a convenient, attractive and not unhelpful broad label for a new 'feeling' abroad.This is a long way of saying that looking for "W2 companies" is a bit of a red herring: look, rather, for how this mindset is permeating all companies and becoming a more modern way of doing business.
Hi Ian
Some very good points there. I certainly think it is a refreshing and exciting way of thinking.
One question which *keeps* coming up from existing large organisations we talk to is around the whole "project management, process, cross-team working" challenge - typically the e-commerce or web team is frustrated by the silo / waterfall / risk management approach that they encounter elsewhere in their organisation. This whole Web 2.0 approach is a mental step forward even for web people, but I can see it being somewhat of a challenge for "IT" or the "FD" to get their heads around...
One area where the W2 (let's see if we can't popularise your shortened version of Web 2.0...) approach could be really interesting, and which you allude to, is using data sets in smart, creative, and cost effective ways *internally* or within controlled environments. I'm thinking things like customer data sets, product data, or B2B data relationships. This is much more 'behind the scenes' and risk can be mitigated but could still open up some interesting and valuable new applications and services.

Whatever W2 is (W2 > W3 ? odd) I don't think it is about project management. During the dot com bubble there was a lot of talk about breaking the mould on project management and producing systems in fractions of the time of traditional IT projects. Actually all that was happening was the people were not designing or testing properly and produced a bunch of broken systems.
Project management can be about committees and endless delay, or it can be about getting the job done on time and budget. Achieving targets and budgets on a large project is hard work. But it is what professional project managers do and you neglect these disciplines at your peril.
From my point of view, web 2.0 is a 'mashup' (forgive yet another buzzword). It a collection of things:
- simple sets of data/information
- Meta data (information about information)
- open-source software & APIs
- social connection/inter-connection
- democracy
- and viral usage!
Successful web 2.0 companies do something very valuable - they turn every single user into a conduit - both for the services they use and for themselves - empowering them with tools to share/contact/write etc.
Probably the best article I have read on web 2.0 is here
In tems of business case - Extracting meaning or value from web 2.0 really depends on where your coming from.
If you are a technologist(like me) - there are one set of elements to look at. If you are an entrepreneur, there are pots of investment capital available if your idea is good enough. Every organisation should look carefully - you can draw benefits/learn lessons from where others make mistakes.
In terms of technology, there are plenty of benefits in using some web 2.0 techniques. AJAX is 'mutton dressed as lamb' in some ways - its been used for years, but its gone through something of a revival - popularised by the likes of del.icio.us/flickr etc and been metaphorically re-born as 'cutting-edge'.
(some companies would kill for this level of successful re-branding!)AJAX was coined here
If its used properly, AJAX can reduce load on servers, decrease the bandwidth/traffic to sites and provide richer interactivity (used in moderation) having a positive effect of infrustructure. Oh and you don't really have to use XML by the way, thats the 'AX' bit.
Unfortunately, if you don't know what you're doing, it can cause more issues than it solves - breaking accessibility/usability, errors in browsers, top-heavy server load.From a business perspective, I already know of companies picking the best bits from web 2.0 - even big corporates using external packages/APIs/wikis/CRM and its having profound effects in some cases.
Sceptics might offer that it will all end in tears in a few years - maybe so, but businesses that make wise decisions and take advantage of whats on offer will be further up the curve than those that don't.
There's a pretty good Web 2.0 guide + books, technologies, blogs here:

Hm - two areas here: cross-team PM and what can be done in the 'pure online' domain using W2.
In the first instance there's no escaping the fact that cross-silo working is necessary. Other disciplines have been through this - just so long ago that people have forgotten. In retail no-one thinks twice that you don't put in a catalogue something that you can't stock, or can't warehouse, or don't know how to price. The processes for "request stock info" already exists. It's effectively transparent. When someone asks for that same information "for the web" then you get a collective panic - like startling the gazelle!
Some of this is because there may be new attributes, descriptions or parameters required, but more fundamentally there's a shock of having to look anew at a feed. Anything put in place more than 5 years ago is likely to be a single, coded feed or application - no 'service oriented architectures' or messaging systems here.
Rather than getting stuck in a silo debate, the true position is a "request for information": what things are "knowable" about product? How should I ask for it? What's a well-formatted and usable response? How frequently may I ask, if I'm 'playing nice'? etc. Standard questions in new system design, but the organisation may lack experience at holding this debate between functional specialists.
While there are many organisational and behavioural approaches to soothing this stage of development, the bottom line is that it's not optional: organisations must be internally coherent and have a flexible flow of information in order to make the most of their retail opportunities.
The second point is about the presentation and manipulation of this information web-side, using W2 techniques.
While these techniques are smart and engaging for the user they stand on the shoulders of the data available to the web systems. If you don't have a feed of or access to stock levels there's no point having a "fake-it" widget on the front end.
I see therefore that the W2 approaches build upon an increased, coherent view of underlying data, information and transactional flags/messages. W2 allows a sensible and relevant interaction with the many, many "bits of stuff" that exist behind the scenes, making the necessary and most appropriate "bits" available to the user.
Sounds simple!
I may be way off the mark here but I think Web 2.0 is simply a media invention to describe how technology is being used differently to how it was a few years ago.
Blogs are deemed Web 2.0. That always makes me scratch my head. Blogs are simply a combination of a simple database, server side code (like PHP or ASP) with the ability to parse RSS feeds. All of this has been around since before 2000.
AJAX (the scripting technology not the detergent) is deemed to be Web 2.0. All it is is clever javascript combined with XML and CSS. I know a guy whose programming career at Fujitsu started in 1999 playing with AJAX.
There's nothing new about Web 2.0 technology.
Its just companies like Google come along and make a very cool application like the Google Map system using AJAX and suddenly every man and his dog jump on the bandwagon and start playing with it, saying they're the latest Web 2.0 developers.
In my humble opinion there are some good applications of this so called new technology. As with all technology if you use it to solve a problem (like Google did) and it works, then it's possible that business models will follow.
AJAX for instance does seem a possible answer to the problem mobile web has.
I'm not brave enough to say it is "the answer", I just believe it might be one possible solution.Basically the big problem with Mobile is the size of the consumer audience. To make it viable as a business a lot of operator/OS/browser compatibilities have to be overcome. There are currently 2 platforms used JM2E and XHTML to develop mobile apps and sites. With JM2E particularly in order to reach the consumer you need to port the development to many different operator networks, phones, OS/platforms, resolutions etc etc. It means developing a lot of code for a lot of apps for a lot of different systems and OS's. It means a lot of expense.
AJAX could potentially solve this problem. If a browser based platform was developed with AJAX it could potentially be used on any type of phone. So potentially a critical mass of people could download the same platform in AJAX meaning app developers have a standard to reach a wide audience. If enough people started to use AJAX then the network operator doesn't matter any more building apps for the OS become much easier and the audience much easier to reach, therefore the business model is better.
Of course there are a lot of ifs and buts there. But it potentially could be a "Web 2.0" application that could help the Mobile industry.
My view is simple with Web 2.0. If it solves a real business problem then it is viable. If it doesn't then it isn't.
This is such an important point.
We got very excited about Ajax and scanned our existing web systems to see if you could sell our clients extra development based on Ajax. However in practice there was very little. Read none.
Your post highlighted the reason, which I never really thought through before. If the data you are working with is up to 24 hours old, then why bother retrieving it in real time, you might as well do what we already do which is republish nightly and include things like stock levels embeded on the page.
But try and get a real-time feed from a legacy system which was developed pre-internet, so maybe not so secure, but OK because it is protected by a corporate firewall. Our real-time feed will likely send the security office into hypervnetilation.
Even if anyone was still around who would know how to produce it.
The technology is there - web services and Ajax put together open up fantastic possibilities, but the web side is probably the smallest part of the project.

Read more: Knight Of StrikesDear Lyons Community,
We have a choice as a community. We can choose to build the future Lyons. We can stand up, dust ourselves off and create what we want Lyons to be. Or, we can contract, hunker down and think only about our losses.
Choosing our future will call upon our higher selves. It is not easy to think of the greater good when our personal needs are at the fore. It is not easy to reach into our pockets to find the resources to rebuild when our personal resources have taken a hit. It is not easy to believe that we have the energy to recover to a brighter Lyons when we are tired and dislocated in the present. But, I continue to believe we can, and I hope that we will.
To show our faith in the future, I ask that you support the Lyons Area Library by voting yes on ballot measures 4C and 4D. I was disheartened to receive a letter in the mail from Peter Baumgartner and Annie Mannering attempting to defeat this community effort. This crusade to undermine the Lyons Depot Library only leads to a darker, not brighter future.
Even worse, of their nine points, eight are factually incorrect. Like the worst political ads you see on TV, if there was a fact checker, that letter would earn a "pants on fire" rating as it intentionally seeks to misinform the voters. They say the library proposal ignores the Comprehensive Plan. They clearly did not read the Comprehensive Plan, which has as one of its objectives to "promote and enhance the use of a Lyons library facility as a community resource and a strategic hot spot to support local businesses, students, scholars and other residents." They say the Library Steering Committee "never had the intention of including a performance space" when the District has repeatedly stated that they are assessing the cost and feasibility of such an option. They say that the Steering Committee did not get appropriate input from Town Staff, yet Town Staff serve on the Steering Committee and there have been full consultations. They state that building a new library will take money away from the Redstone Museum. Not only ludicrous and patently false, this last one is deeply cynical coming from Peter Baumgartner who has fought for years to eliminate funding for the museum that he now seems to hold dear.
Regarding the tax issue, they fail to point out that folks whose homes were damaged in the flood are getting overall tax relief. In addition, the Library District will not collect the full tax immediately, reducing the financial contribution needed during the recovery period. If they were really concerned about the less fortunate in Lyons, they would be in full support of a better library. Libraries are a great equalizer of opportunity, a place where kids without computers or quiet places at home to study would have access, where people that cannot buy their books on Amazon can read for free, where computer banks provide help for the unemployed to prepare resumes and search for jobs, where our community groups can meet and develop their programs to help our citizens.
My father asked me a good question the other day. In deciding how he would vote, he wanted to know if voting for the library would take away from other Town priorities during the flood recovery? My answer was clear: the library is one of those priorities that will help Lyons recover. Voting yes on 4C and 4D will not only make Lyons stronger, at a practical level it will free up resources in the Town budget that will help us finance our critical infrastructure repairs by taking the Library off the Town books and having it funded and managed by the Library District. Voting yes on 4C and 4D has added benefits of preserving a cherished community service during a time of declining Town revenues and building an important asset for the future while helping us fund our broader recovery.
The time is now to invest in Lyons. I am proud to vote YES on 4C and 4D.
Mayor Julie Van Domelen

How to Iron Pants:
- Nobody likes wrinkled pants. Face it, wrinkles make you look lazy and sloppy, almost as if you rolled right out of bed. There's something about ironed pants that help you look sharp and well put together. Almost all pants, aside from jeans, require ironing. Follow these few steps to learn how to correctly iron your pants
- Turn the pants inside out. Look for the tag that gives ironing and fabric information for the garment
- Choose the heat setting on your iron appropriate for that fabric. Linen and 100 percent cotton take a high setting; wools and cotton blends call for medium heat; polyester, rayon, nylon, silk, acetate and acrylic all require a low heat setting
- Fill the iron with distilled water if you will be using the steam setting on cottons or linens
- Test the iron on a small area to make sure you don't have the setting too high'this can damage or discolor the fabric
- With the pants still inside out, iron the waistband, pockets (on both sides), fly area, seams and hems, in that order
- Turn the pants right side out and pull the waistband over the pointed end of the board. Iron the waistband area and any pleats along the front of the pants below the waistband
- Lay the pants lengthwise along the ironing board with both legs together and carefully line up any preexisting creases
- Take the hem of the top pant leg and bring it toward the waistband, folding the top leg away from the bottom leg. Iron the inside (hem to crotch) of the lower leg. Turn the pants over and repeat for the other leg
- Smooth out both legs carefully and iron the outside of the top leg. Give extra attention to cuffs, if the pants have them
- Turn the pants over and iron the outside of the other leg
- Hang warm pants immediately to avoid wrinkling. Fold them through a suit hanger to avoid crushing them in a pant hanger
How to Hem Pants:
- Select thread that matches the color and thickness of the thread used in the original hem
- Use small scissors or a seam ripper to undo the existing hem carefully
- Try on the pants and fold each pant leg inward to the length that looks correct for the new hem. Pin it in place
- Take off the pants, turn them inside out, and use a tape measure or ruler to determine the length of the fabric folded inward to form the new hem length. Use this measurement as your gauge for folding the pant legs all the way around
- Measure and pin the new hem length into place on both legs according to the measurement that you just made
- Iron the edge of the new hem on both legs to create a good crease. (If you want to hide the unfinished edge of the fabric to prevent fraying, fold it approximately 1/4 inch toward the inside of the pant leg and iron it in place)
Package Included:
- 1 x Women Jumpsuit

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 2
Rated 4 out of 5 by lynndlou Just okay...
The dress is okay, nice enough to keep but certainly not the cutest thing Tory Burch has ever produced. As opposed to the other reviewer, I sized up because I found the waist and hip part a little snug, but then the larger size seemed overall a little too big. I don't like my clothes too tight so I'm keeping the larger size. This is a thin but sturdy sweater dress and doesn't show any bulges like other sweater dresses can. A little too dressy for my workplace, but also too conservative for going out. This dress occupies an uncomfortable in-between space on several different levels.
October 21, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Nawnie Sweater dress
The dress is a thin sweater material and is somewhat transparent. The waist runs large. I would recommend sizing down and plan to wear a full slip. I returned it. Just not that impressed for the price. I'm 5''7" and 126 lbs and ordered a size 4 and it was too baggy through waist.

Author Brenda Gilchrist joins the Maine Historical Society to talk about her new memoir, Waltzing with Bracey: A Long Reach Home, about her journey back to Maine, and to the Deer Isle cottage of her ancestors, to claim her place in the world. The cottage, coincidentally, was designed by Alexander Wadsworth Longfellow, Henry's nephew. Joining her on the adventure is Bracey, her Corgi, who helps her negotiate the rambling pile of a house, the ghosts that live there, and this unique place on the Maine coast.

How does that work?
City living inspires a lot of WTFs (chief among them: What did Daley just say? But that's a question for another time). These explanations of prominent urban curiosities should satisfy your need-to-know urges.
How did the Park District "make" the new Oakwood Beach?
According to Joseph Bornstein, city project manager in charge of creating Oakwood Beach (4100 S Lakefront at 41st St, 312-742-3224), which opened in May, it's as simple as finding the right place, figuring out the right measurements, building some breakers and plopping down a boatload of sand barged in from Princeton, Ill. "The first thing we have to do is build two concrete piers, not for boats, but to prevent huge waves and seiches [sea quakes]," Bornstein says. "Then we calculate the slope of the beach and fill it in with dirt. A tremendous amount of sand goes on top of that, barge after barge." Additional underwater stone break walls surround the beach's swimming area and provide a barrier against bad weather and larger waves. "Lake Michigan is like an inland ocean instead of a calm little lake," Bornstein says. "If you don't put in things [like the barriers] to attenuate the waves, you'll be renourishing [or replacing sand on] the beaches constantly."—Christina Couch

My CW ancestor is Madison William Harris, born in 1843 in Marshall County, MS. He enlisted at age 18 as a Private in the 1st Miss Regiment. I am assuming he was in Co. A, Walker Reserves. When I put the info into the CW Soldiers and Sailors website, all I get is "Sorry, can't be found." What am I doing wrong? |

izzy- I don't find your Madison W. Harris on CWSS. No system or list is perfect. There is a Madison Harris in the 4th Arkansas Infantry, but he might be the Madison H. Harris listed separately in that unit. This might be where your Madison W. Harris is buried. Madison W. Harris (1842 - 1901) - Find A Grave Memorial This might be the 4th Arkansas one, who might be the Madison H. one, who probably isn't the Madison W. one.

Thanks guys! TX Defender - The first listing, Madison W. Harris 1842-1901 is his headstone. Javal - That is him alright. Note the name of his fourth child, Pratt Madison. Madison gave the name Pratt to his son after a man named Pratt (I don't know if it is a first or last name) that saved his life in the war. The name, Pratt, has been carried forward in the family to today. I'm wondering, even though the family history says that he was in the 1st MS, if he enlisted in the TN county where Colliersville is. How do I find out about that? Last edited on Sat Oct 4th, 2008 12:07 am by izzy |

izzy- Shelby County, TN does border Mississippi, so its just possible that he was living there when he enlisted in a Mississippi unit. I'd be interested to see the 1860 Census records possibly showing where he and also where Linnie Sloan lived. In all probability, her family lived in Shelby County. Considering her age, he probably married her there after the war. Linnie Sloan Harris (1847 - 1905) - Find A Grave Memorial As for the place of his enlistment, that might be found on pension forms if he applied for one after the war. You might also learn something from 1870 and subsequent Census records. In addition, you might be able to learn more from the West Tennessee Historical Society.

hudson coil
Had a bit of bad luck yesterday. Drove my 40 to the car show in Carlsbad. Ran fine all the way there,but about 5:00 we went go home and it just turned over. Checked the spark and had none comming from the coil. Searched the net and didn't find any coils. Would anyone here happen to have one they would sell, or come up with some other reaon why I have no spark. I'm getting desperate due to the fact I was planning on driving it to Albq. Thursday,this week. Any help at all is very appereciated.
Stan -
A bad condenser would give the same symptoms. Check out your condenser. -
Have you checked everything in the ignition area? Voltage at the coil terminal, good connection to the distributor, clean points? As mentioned above, the condensor could be the problem. If the coil is indeed shot all you need is a standard 12 volt coil that is designed to be used with a ballast resistor. These run on 6 volts, but of course you don't use any sort of ballast resistor.If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.
i have a 6 volt coil that is new. I bought it from Carquest a couple of years ago for an old vette.The one that is in the hudson has only one connection that goes to the distributor And then a thick cable that comes out of the other end of the coil and goes through the firewall and (I think) connects to the ignition switch. How would you hook up a standard coil to replace the one I have? Also I had just replaced the points, rotor and condenser last week. I checked the points and they are still set and I had another condenser that I changed out. Still no luck
Thanks, Stan -

Did they check the book or computer? Your Hudson coil probley has 1 wire terminal on one end that is from the ign switch. 1 wire terminal and the hi tension from the other end. Dont think you will find a coil made like your old coil unless it is a nos or old used one. -

Not gonna find an original one , and if a new old stock did turn up it'd cost you $$$ to get it . you can use any coil that does not have a bulit in resistor . -
Folks, Tim Cheney and Dave Kostansek, long time HET members and suppliers of Hudson tune-up, brake and other parts, sell replacement coils for our Hudsons for $16. These guys usually have the lowest prices around for this stuff, and they're honest as the day is long (or hot!). Call them and it's likely the part will ship out the same day. You'll get their complete parts and prices list with your part. (440) 994-9173, or if no answer, (440) 293-4079. (Ohio). Let's patronize these faithful suppliers whever possible. Stan, as for the positive ground, just be sure you connect the wires to the coil so the + terminal goes to the distributor.
Thanks alot for all the comments and help. There is a lot of knowledge on this forum. I just got off the phone with Dave in Ohio. The replacement was 16.00 and of course shipping was a lot higher, but I need it by Wed.
Great guy to talk to and very trusting.He will mail the part today and I will mail him a check today. He has all my orders from today on. Thanks again for all your help

Ticks, don't you just love to see one buried deep into your skin or your pet?
Nah, me neither. There are a score of wrong ways to try to remove them. But I found a sure fire way to remove them fully intact & alive.
And here's a 57 second video to prove seeing is believing. This little tool sells for about $5.00 & probably can be found at most pet stores or on the net.


text: Wow! thats a pretty scary fall. You must have hit that shelf on the way down. At least the plunge pool is deep I think. The last time I was there I thought about hopping in to see how deep it was just out of curiosity, but your route in must have been painful. That fall is definitely 20 feet. Glad you're ok!

text: An ideal forward and target man to lead the lines, Georgios Samaras found his place at Celtic and has excelled ever since his arrival. Out of favor at Manchester City, the gifted Greek player went on loan to Celtic in 2008 and has been a smash hit, firing the Glasgow club to six major Scottish titles, including three league triumphs. He's adored by the green and white faithful and won Celtic Supporters' Player of the Year for the 2012-13 campaign. He's excellent at receiving long passes and uses his strength to hold up the play and bring teammates into the attack. He's also a skilled dribbler and quick for his size. Celtic achieves its goals through the play Samaras.

Five designated conservation areas represent the most important expanses of unspoilt beech forest remaining in Germany.
These huge wooded areas can be found in the Jasmund and Müritz national parks in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Grumsin Forest in Brandenburg, Kellerwald-Edersee National Park in Hessen and Hainich National Park in Thuringia. They are part of the ancient beech forests that covered 40 per cent of mainland Europe 6,500 years ago, and are an extension to the 'Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians', an existing World Heritage property in Slovakia and the Ukraine. The different locations and environments illustrate the ecological and geographical history of beech forests in the temperate zones of the northern hemisphere.
Unspoilt lowland beech forests at elevations of just over 600 metres above sea level are found nowhere in the world but Germany. Many of the trees are centuries old. Their dead wood and natural hollows offer ideal habitats for bats, hole-nesting birds and other animals, and thereby promote biodiversity. The beech forests are home to around 10,000 different species of animals, plants and fungi.
Walkers and nature lovers will find a peaceful haven here and can appreciate the forest from above on treetop walkways.
