Unforgiven: Customers Need to Show Some Common Sense Too
Mar 15, 2012 5:00 AM PT
In the UK, supermarket chain Tesco is being pounded right now in social media channels because it's refusing to honor an erroneous online advertisement offering new iPads for Pounds 50 (US$65). The offer went viral, and now the backlash is viral, too.
How Tesco responds will tell the tale. I'd recommend a sincere apology, a few well-phrased jokes poking fun at itself -- and an offer to make it up to those who still want to buy an iPad from them by providing a significant discount.
I'd also recommend this to their customers: Lighten up.
Social media is a great thing. It gives individual customers the same ability to deliver messages to millions that was once the sole domain of traditional media, as Seth Godin said Tuesday at Gartner's Customer 360 Summit. But with great power ought to come great responsibility -- or, if we can't get that, greater common sense.
Social Media Use vs. Abuse
Are customers really so dim that they believe a large chain supermarket would offer an iPad as a loss leader? I'm betting that many knew the price was an error -- which it was, according to Tesco. But for a firestorm to break out accusing the retailer of lying or worse seems rather harsh.
It signals that many customers now understand the power they have via social media, and that they believe that enough focused virtualized rage can achieve anything -- and that any slipup is an opportunity to pounce.
We've seen bank fees quashed, prize money restored, sponsors influenced to drop radio shows, and other social media-driven activities in the last six months that have resulted in victories for their organizers. The Tesco case may be the one that indicates the border between the use and abuse of social media power.
What it suggests is this: Businesses now need to be perfect in their execution of everything. Any slipup will be capitalized upon by angry customers to assail reputations and threaten future sales.
But I don't think most customers are really angry. Most don't want to see a retailer fail because of a typographical error. Most are willing to forgive a mistake, once it's admitted.
Businesses Are People Too
As anyone who's ever edited the letters to the editor section of a newspaper can attest, the level-headed among us rarely write. Even with social media, it takes an experience that is extremely good or significantly bad to motivate comments.
Twitter and Facebook make it easier now, but still, most of the tweets and Facebook postings you read don't dwell on customer interactions.
There's been a lot of talk about how businesses can abuse social media -- how they can treat it like a one-way broadcasting channel, how they can gather customer information that's a little too personal, or how they can misuse alerting. There's a responsibility here to use what social media offers in a responsible way.
There should be a similar degree of responsibility in how customers treat businesses -- not as stringent a code of behavior, since the buyer is the center of the relationship, but one that treats the business as a collection of fellow humans, not as a mindless, monolithic entity.
Two-Way Street
In the new era where we want to be treated as peers by the businesses we buy from, the golden rule seems more apropos than ever. I've made mistakes as a customer -- ordered the wrong item, paid with the wrong account, or filled out a Web form incorrectly.
These businesses did not demand perfection, nor did they refuse to accept that I could have made a mistake. They helped me past those errors -- in part, because they wanted my money, but also because they want an ongoing relationship.
Buyers, like sellers, need to realize that social media is a two-way street. While customers can and should ultimately validate relationships with their dollars, if the desire is for a rewarding relationship, an absolutist, unforgiving attitude toward customer communication is bad for business -- regardless of the direction it travels.

Recently reissued on Kingston Connexion, originally on a 56 Hope Road. Love the track! Any info on the Earth Disciples? Who were they? Other worthwhile tunes? Only found info about a next title called So Come On on Music Works, don't know if that's the same group. Did the group maybe operate under a different name too?
Thanks, big tune!

Tomb Raider's PC version is generally strong, offering a better-looking, higher resolution, smoother tomb-raiding experience than its console counterpart. That said, if you're using an Nvidia graphics card, the game could be pretty unstable, though that instability is usually fixed by turning tessellation off.
Good news: A beta driver released by Nvidia on Friday clears the issue right up, and ostensibly offers some performance improvements across the board, too. I installed the driver for my 660Ti and have been running with tessellation with nary a problem.
It's been cool to explore the island a bit in the aftermath of the story, just like Evan said it would be. That said, I think I might actually start a replay of the game on a higher difficulty. My bow and arrow misses having moving targets.

Fantastic crab cakes start with the freshest seafood you can find.
Fantastic crab cakes start with the freshest seafood you can find.
Crab cakes aren't a way to hide bland or watery crab. In the best cakes, the sweet, clean flavor of the seafood shines.
The binder plays a big role. Breadcrumbs and egg should bind the seafood lumps in a nice patty that holds its shape and crisps nicely. Too much binder yields those dry, dense cakes we've all encountered. Too little, and everything falls apart in the pan. Here we've nailed the filler-to-seafood ratio and perfected a shaping method. These cakes are so tasty, they don't even need sauce: A simple squeeze of lemon or lime does the trick. –Christine Burns Rudalevige

Keep your home safe from pests this fall
Fall is a favorite season for many, as it signals the beginning of colorful leaves and crisp weather. But for many pest including rodents, spiders, cockroaches, scorpions, etc., the change in the weather indicates the need to find cover from the cold winter ahead. Lisa Vinyard of Industrial Pest Management reminds homeowners of the importance that fall pest-proofing can play in keeping pests from making their home in yours."The best way to prevent pest invasions is exclusion." said Vinyard,A few ways to do that are as follows:*Install door sweeps on exterior doors and repair damaged screens*Seal cracks and crevices on the outside of the home*Store food in containers and keep pet food away from the walls of the home *Dispose of garbage regularly in sealed bags *Replace loose mortar and weather-stripping around windows and doors*Store firewood away from the walls of the home*Keep shrubbery well-trimmed *Don't collect rain water or any water around your home, this will also attract pests. It is recommended to have your home sprayed in the spring and fall to help prevent pests and call pest control when there are signs of pests. For more information on ways to keep your home pest free, call 274-5736

Your Jeep - November 2013Posted in How To: Tech Qa on November 18, 2013
Pleeease Diagnose My Noise!
I have an '04 Grand Cherokee Overland with Quadra-Drive and a 4.7 V-8 HO with 84,000 miles on it. I had synthetic fluid put in the differentials approximately two years ago at 73,000 miles. Previously I had changed the fluid with synthetic fluid in the diffs and transfer case at 29,000 miles. I have had a bad grinding or binding sound when I back out of the driveway or make a sharp turn out of a parking lot for the past year or more.
William Anderson
Montgomery, TX
First, I'd start by checking the boots on your CV-style front axleshafts. If these are broken and grease has leaked out of the joint, you may hear sounds coming from the front axleshafts. But they usually make a clicking or a popping noise rather than a grinding noise when they are bad.
Next, I'd check the fluid in the front and rear axles and transfer case. If the fluids are low ,fill the part with the correct fluid. The NV247 transfer case (found in WJs with Quadra-Drive) uses Mopar Transfer Case Lubricant PN 05016796 (gold colored), while the NV242 transfer case (WJs with Selec-Trac) uses ATF-4 (red colored). If all are full, then you may have more of a problem. Sounds like this is very difficult to diagnose long distance, but here is what I would bet my money on if I were a betting man. If you only heard the grinding sound when turning, then it could be coming from one of your differentials. In that case, I'd say that one of your differentials had some damage. Your differentials allow differences in speed from the two axleshafts as the Jeep goes around corners. This is because the inside tires actually travel a shorter distance than the outside tires. But since you also have this grinding when you back out of the driveway, I'd bet that the sound is most likely coming from the transfer case. Since your Grand has full-time four-wheel drive when you go around a corner, the differential or viscous coupler in your transfer case has to compensate for differences in speed between the front and rear axles, much like the differentials in your axles do on a turn. Again, here the front axle is actually traveling a slightly larger distance than the rear axle that is following it. Because of this difference, the front driveshaft will turn a little bit more than the rear driveshaft. To allow this, your NV247 transfer case has a part like a differential called a viscous coupler. It sounds to me like this viscous coupler needs to be replaced. Also, as you back up the weight of the vehicle transfers forward and would cause slight speed differences between the front axle and rear, causing the grinding in the transfer case viscous coupler.
You can check this by chocking the front tires and jacking up the rear axle with the Jeep in park so that both rear tires are off the ground. Then turn one of the rear tires by hand. If you hear grinding coming from your rear differential, there is your problem. If not, lower the Jeep and with the front tires still chocked, shift the transmission into Neutral. Then jack up only one of the rear tires and rotate it by hand. If you hear grinding coming from the transfer case, you have located the problem. If not, put the Jeep back in park and chock the rear tires. Then jack up the front axle so both tires are off the ground and repeat the first test you performed on the rear axle. You should hear the grinding coming from your front axle's differential if that's where the failure is.
Shrink-Ray…An Update
I have been reading Jp for a number of years now, and I always trust you guys for Jeep advice. I was hoping to get an update on the Shrink Ray TJ. Unless I missed something, I don't think we have heard from you since Part 2, when you shrunk the rear. How is it working? Have you made any other upgrades? Would you do anything differently? Would you do it again? Can we expect to see a Shrink Ray Ray TJ: Part 3?
I am going to buy a TJ soon for my next project, but I am not sure whether to get a four-cylinder or the six. I like the concept of the Shrink Ray TJ, and want to use it as inspiration for my next project, but I just wanted to get an idea of how it is working out before I pull the trigger on a four-cylinder because most people would steer you away from it.
This is what I am looking to do: buy a stock, manual, early TJ and build it on a budget as a daily driver/ weekend warrior. My limited cash will force me to keep most of the original drivetrain, but I will add a mild lift to clear 33-inch tires. I will slap on upgrades as funds allow such as armor, lockers, winch, and so on until I have a decently capable Jeep that maintains good road manners. The question is should I get the 4.0L for power and build it heavy, or should I get the little four-banger and chop it down light? Any advice would be much appreciated. Keep up the great work over there at Jp!
Jesse Taylor
Via email
The Shrink Ray TJ is doing well. I have been wheeling it pretty hard over the past year or so, and it's about to go under the knife for a little more work and repair. I'll get to that in a minute. First let me catch everyone up on what I have done with it since Shrink Ray Part 2. Keen readers will have seen the little TJ in "Clearance Clarence," (Mar. '13) where I installed a T&T Customs high-clearance center skidplate/T-case crossmember. At that time, the little TJ that can also got a cable shifter and slip-yoke eliminator kit from Advance Adapters. That required some Brown Dog 1-inch-lift motor mounts and a Tom Wood's Custom driveshaft.
Since then I have added a set of old forged aluminum 5-on-51⁄2-inch 15x8 Weld wheels that I had been toting around the country for several years. These wheels were modified with lightweight OMF Beadlocks and wrapped in a set of 35x12.50R15 Explorer Pro Comp MT2s ("Tight as a Tick," June '13). I made the wheels fit the stock Dana 30 and 2WD V-6 Toyota Tacoma 8.25 bolt patterns by adding a pair of adapter/spacers from SpiderTrax and an old and well-used Dana 30 Warn locking hub conversion with Chromoly shafts and CTM U-joints from my pal, Trent McGee. I also added a junkyard fresh set of ZJ front coils ("Super Cheap," Oct. '13) to replace the sagged and beaten stock TJ front coils that were on Shrinky.
Since Part 2 appeared in the magazine, I have wheeled the little TJ all over Moab, a few trails and dunes out in Johnson Valley, and all over southern Arizona. With the addition of the larger tires, the combination of gearing of the AX5, NP231J and 4.88 axle gears is not quite low enough. I will be swapping the light duty AX5 for an old-school granny-geared manual, but I am not gonna give away which one just yet. Also the Jeep needs new lower front control arms, a timing chain, and some general loving. It's next on the docket to spend time in the garage getting this trans and loving as soon as I can get some space cleared.
With the lighter weight and proper axle gears, this TJ feels pretty peppy despite the four-cylinder. If I had it to do over again, I might have held out for an '03-or-newer TJ with the 2.4L, but in general I am pretty happy with the Jeep. Honestly, it works better than I expected. You could do a similar conversion with a 4.0L-powered TJ, only without moving the grille and radiator and you'd have a nice lightweight Jeep with some realistic horsepower. Of course you won't get the same approach angle (which is definitely zero with the 35s) as I did with Shrinky, but you'd have more usable power. All in all, if you want to build it slowly and keep the Jeep ultra-light as I did, I would probably suggest a four-cylinder Jeep. Right out of the box with factory 4.10s in the axle, they crawl pretty well and are cheap. If you know your TJ is gonna end up heavy, go right for the 4.0L—unless you think you may swap engines some day, in which case the added cost of the 4.0L will be wasted.
If I have any regrets, it revolves around the grille and hood. I had and almost swapped on an old beat up M38A1 grille. I could have matched this with an M38A1 hood. I think that would have taken this build over the top. Can I go back and swap on a vintage grille and hood? Yeah, sure, but I probably won't. It would be lots of work and undo lots of stuff I already did, and did well (if I do say so myself).
Bench Racing a '55 Willys Wagon Build
My 15-year-old son recently purchased a '55 Jeep Wagon that he just fell in love with. He bought it basically striped down to just the original frame with the original axles and body, which are in great condition. The engine, transmission, transfer case, and even steering components are missing.
His question is: What now, Dad? My question is what are other guys doing to make slight modifications, yet not turn these things into hardcore trail rigs?
Let me take a moment to give you an idea where we live and what we do and hope to do with the wagon. We've been to Moab a handful of times with our CJ-5s. He would love to take this rig down there, but only do the gentler-to-more-mild trails. We live in Southeast Wyoming ranch country and drive a great deal of two-tracks. Full-width trails sure are comfortable.
A few years ago, I rolled Mama's '76 CJ-5 a few times down I-25, just south of Buffalo, Wyoming, doing about 70 mph. The 3.54 gears were not the problem, but the front wheel bearings without grease were the problem. Would you like to see those pictures?
Anyway, we were able to salvage the 304c.i. V-8, T-150 trans and Dana 20 T-case. We don't have a money tree for 40-inch tires and coil suspensions. We have good luck with 32 to 35-inch tires and leaf springs. We'd like to use the free to us 304 V-8, the T-150 and Dana 20. Is it possible to beef-up the axles and create a wider, more stable stance?
From here we are at a stand-still when it comes to springs and axles. We have looked for leaf-sprung suspension systems, but just have not found the right place that has the right answer. And like I said, he would like a different wheel and tire combination then what the original is. Seems like it will take a pretty good arch in the spring to even fit a 32-inch tire without rubbing the body and fenders?
Now you have a good picture in mind of what we're up to. So, gentlemen of Jp, what would your recommendations be?
The Wilsons
Torrington, WY
Well, Wilsons, this Jeep build sounds like it is right up our alley. Your long question is gonna require a bit of a long answer, but as I see it you have a couple of options to take for the Willys build. I like the idea of the 304 V-8, T-150 and Dana 20, that's a good solid base for the Willys to start although you could at least contemplate a Ford T-18 or NP435 swap to get a little deeper gearing (via these transmissions granny geared First gear ratio). This is not necessary, but would only increase the crawling ability of the Wagon. You could also keep the T-150 and add low gears to your Dana 20 (either 3.15:1 TeraLow aftermarket or 2.61:1 Bronco).
As for the suspension and axles, I really like the simplicity of using YJ Wrangler leaf springs in a spring-under configuration. These springs are readily available and ride well. I think you wil want some 3- to 4-inch-lift YJ springs, and set them up spring-under just like I did on project Ground-Up. The YJ springs are wider and generally ride much better than early CJ and Willys 4x4 springs. You are also gonna want to swap to a frame-mounted Saginaw steering box. You can either dig up an old steering column for a Wagon (assuming you don't have one) and modify it for a U-jointed shaft to run from the column to the box, or get a more-modern column from a J-truck, a Chevy, or aftermarket supplier. Again, you can have a look at the way I set up the steering in Ground Up, or have a look at "Steer It Right," (July '13).
As for adding width to the axle, you can add some spacers (about 11⁄2 inches per side) or wider wheels with less backspacing (like 3.75 inches) to your Wagons stock axles. Unfortunately, your narrow track axles from "Mama's wrecked CJ" won't be any wider than the axles the Jeep came with. They will be narrower and probably too narrow for you to use. I would run some 31s or 32s on your wagon with an 8- or 10-inch wide wheel, and the Willys should be pretty stable on-road and off. If you want to really increase the stability, look for some axles out of a wide-track CJ or a fullsize Wagoneer.
An SM420 and Buick Odd-fire Walk Into a Bar…
One of your editors wrote an article on bolting a SM420 trans to an odd-fire Buick 225 engine, and he said that you can't use the aluminum bellhousing. He stated that you had to get a cast iron one and bore out the hole to 5.00 inches and turn the front cover of the transmission to 4.999-inch. I've looked all over the country and cannot find a cast iron bellhousing for the 225 odd-fire Buick that I have in my '67 Commando. Can I get you to email me about this and suggest a place to look for the bellhousing, clutch arm, and throw-out bearing? I'm putting a Dana 300 behind the SM420. I'm hoping you can help.
Joey Toth
Via email
You got it both right and wrong. For starters, you can't use the factory one-piece aluminum bellhousing from a '70-'71 Jeep with the T-14 and Buick 225. These bellhousings were designed specifically for Jeep to use the T14, and the tranny bolt pattern, throw-out bearing retainer bore, and stickout length aren't correct for the GM SM420. However, the older '66-'69 Jeeps used a stock GM bellhousing with a cast iron adapter to mate the T-86 or T-14 transmission (as the case may be). You can bolt an SM420 right up to the early bellhousing once the adapter is removed, so if your '67 bellhousing has the adapter, you're in luck.
That said, not quite as simple as bolting the two parts together, you do have to modify the bellhousing a touch. The modifications you need to make to the aluminum bellhousing include drilling out the lower two bell-to-transmission boltholes for clearance, since the SM420 has threaded lower bolt holes that must have the bolt enter from the clutch-side of the bellhousing. Also, a little clearance is necessary at the top of the transmission bolt pattern to clear one of the SM420's shift rails. This clearance coincides with a vent hole in most of these Buick V-6 aluminum bells. Both of these things should be easy to do with a drill and a die grinder. As for the throw-out bearing and clutch arms, these parts are available from Novak Conversions (novak-adapt.com) and Advance Adapters (advanceadapters.com), as well as others.
As for the bellhousing machining work, that's if you're trying to mate an SM465 transmission to the engine using a standard GM 4.687-inch bearing retainer bellhousing. According to Novak, the best way to do this is to bore the bellhousing out to 5.00 inches and turn the tranny bearing retainer down to 4.995 inches.
Jeep Fashion Police
Your "Trendy in Utah" article caught my eye. I have noticed the seemingly very sensible trend towards lower, more stable off-road modified Jeeps and appreciate the performance and safety aspects of such. However, I do not enjoy your criticism of overly tall "monster" setups or chrome accessories. In the same article you mention how you can't do a write up of every plain Jane Jeep out there. Well, Jeeping is about doing your own thing. I think they are all pretty cool, some cooler than others, but I don't think we need the Jeep fashion police keeping us in line. Customization, and especially innovation, just don't work that way.
Terry Donohue, Jr.
West Chester, Pennsylvania
OK, I'll defend my opinions, but they are just that, and I could be wrong, but it's unlikely. I think they are based in fact and experience of what works on trails in general around the country (not for the local Jeep show). But still, you don't have to agree with me, or do what I do. That is where innovation comes from. Good ideas of how to do things differently. Unfortunately, not all ideas are good, and some that work, don't work well. In general, I think I am very open minded when it comes to Jeeps as compared to other people I've known who have worked at Jp over the past 10-15 years (don't ask me to print their names). I like all Jeeps that do what they are supposed to do well or can be modified to do so without taking out a second mortgage.
First, as I said in the article, I like chrome on a Jeep, but in moderation and when it makes sense. A chrome grille cover is right up my alley. I like that bling. Cheap chrome hinges that don't fit well? No thanks. A chrome diff cover that is paper thin, warped from the manufacturer and no match for the smallest rocks on the trail is junk and a downgrade as compared to most stock diff covers. Most of us want to make our Jeeps better off-road, not more vulnerable. Use common sense. Spending $5,000 on chrome gadgets that don't increase performance is a waste of money in my opinion. Spending $200 to make something look a bit better or more "yours" is fine.
As far as über-tall Jeeps, you are the second person to say I am wrong, but oddly, despite that, my opinion of comically tall Jeeps has not changed. For clarity, I feel that anyone should run the minimum amount of lift necessary to clear the tires they want as long as the rest of the Jeep can handle those big tires. If that means hacking sheetmetal, then you should do it (as long as it won't cut a tire or a passerby when done). I'll admit that if you are into mud running having a tall Jeep is good, but even that has its limits. An extra six inches or a foot of lift between tires and body is a waste even in the mud (and yeah, I have driven in it—a lot). If your unnecessarily tall mud truck rolls over when one tire drops into a deeper mud hole, you are as screwed as anyone who has ever flopped a rig anywhere.
A great example of a big tire'd Jeep that I like and works well is former Editor John Cappa's '73 J-truck. It was built around big tires, but was low and stable. (Although it rolled on its side at Top Truck Challenge in a mud hole. Oh, and once at Tierra Del Sol's Desert Safari). If a similar truck had the same tires and axles but lacked the trimmed fenders and had a foot more lift to clear the tires it would be scary and dangerous. I would also be willing to bet that it would be no more capable than John's truck even in deep mud. Don't agree with me? Build a J-truck with a tired AMC V-8 on deuce-and-a-half axles and 46-inch tires with uncut fenders and show me. Then if you can't follow me in a relatively stock Jeep wearing 32s to the grocery store, or over a fairly simple trail with off-camber sections, you lose and I win—even if I get stuck in the mud.
If your Jeep is extra tall for tall's sake and is less stable on a side hill than a drunk monkey or in danger of rolling over at the entrance to a trail, you are not "customizing" or "innovating" correctly, you are going backward and making your Jeep less capable, less useful, and less of a Jeep.
Lastly, if you drive a "plain Jane" Jeep, I am down with that. Let's go wheeling. I probably like your Jeep. Just don't expect me to take photos of it for a four-page feature spread in the magazine. Why? Well because it's a magazine and we are trying to keep the magazine growing, our hobby viable, and our jobs secure. The best way to do that is to cover unique Jeeps that reflect trends that make sense rather than supporting things that look cool, but are actually counterproductive to the end goal.
Socket to 'Em
I can't seem to find the correct socket size for a '78 CJ-7 front axle nut to be able to replace wheel bearings and do a brake job. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Via email
It's a 21⁄16-inch socket. Most auto parts stores should carry them or you can order it through Quadratec (www.quadratec.com).
Get It Set
I have a couple of quick questions regarding the steering shaft set screw recesses that you mentioned in "Ground Up: Part 2," (April, '12). Is there a specific drill bit that you would recommend for drilling the recesses? Is there a recommended recess depth?
Via email
That's a great question. I would recommend using a drill bit that is the same diameter as the threads on the set screw. That way you will be sure that the set screw is actually recessed into the steering shaft. Also, get some good quality thread locking compound and use it liberally on the set screw and lock nut, and check the set screws frequently. You don't want these things backing out.

Liquid Force BBQ BRODOWN
Liquid Force's BBQ BROdown is all NEW for 2012!
We've had so much success with our Free For All series @ full size cables that we wanted to do something similar for the two tower cables. We've essentially scaled down the concept, and will be bringing out top LF pro's, ton's of giveaways, a grip of 2012 LF demo boards/bindings to try, and of course some good 'ole fashion BBQ. Roll on out, bring your friends, learn to ride or work on some new tricks, and have fun! No strings attached, no pressure – we're there to give you tips and teach you the ins and outs of cable wakeboarding. We can't do it on our own, so you can expect to see our buddies Monster Energy, Axis Wake Research, Spy Optic, New Era, GoPro, Sanuk, Frends, and Alliance Wakeboard Magazine joining in the fun.
See you for some fun, sun, and BBQ this summer!

But anyways, we did it in my garage one Saturday afternoon right beside my M3...I'm in my early 40's and she is 28 with a nice tight ass. She will sense that I am ready to cum in her mouth and then start pissing and then I'll fill her mouth up with my cum...I can feel her piss splashing on my feet (we lay down plastic)...it is hot...I can tell she is getting more and more adventurous...she asked me if I wanted her to take a dump too while I cum...we haven't done this yet but we'll see where this goes...

holy fuck that cock is thick wish it was going is my ass
Marine-One take a look at other ''plane'' video's I can handle as much manmeat as you've got and more besides. One far east trip with a couple of girl friends we sat with a guy on a business trip who was terrified of flying, We kept him occupied by accidently on purpose flashing our boobs or panties, when we landed he asked me out to dinner as a thank you and as he was rather gorgeous I accepted and afterwards went back to his hotel room. What a shock when I saw his hugh hard cock as I never thought it would fit in my pussy but it did and so I know I can take anything you have to offer Not really into anal but love oral and small orgies. XX
@ Amber, WellI'd still love to have sex with you while in the air. I look forward to making you cum way up in the air. I am sure we will fit nicely together. My first time was on a passanger plane, actually got to do anal on one of the female flight attendants. Late at night, most everyone was asleep. She took it like a champ. Hooked up with a couple of her friends when we hit the ground. She set me up for that lovefest. I will remember it til I die. So let's connect and see how much manmeat you can handle. Reply back to this and I will leave my e-mail address....
Loved that hood ornament Noticed that the chick had french nails in some scenes and no long nails in others. How many days did it take to shoot this.
Love sex up in the air, member of the mile high club too. Prefer pussy to anal, sorry not really my thing. Love fucking guy's as we fly up, up and away.
Hey Amber.... I got a plane. Have you ever done anal in a small plane while the pilot is fucking you? First time for everything. If you can handle it..
I want a guy with a private plane.
Tolles Flugzeug. Leonie, so geil wie immer. Kann mich an ihr nicht satt sehen. An die Frauen die auch so rangenommen werden wollen: Meldet euch!
This gal is just plain hot. I have never seen one like her. Where does she live? Hey, petite*latina, I got a plane. Can I fly over and see you. Then I will get behind you and pilot you as hard as I can. I am gonna make you soar into the clouds.

WINNIPEG - Last month, I ventured out to my first WWE house show in nearly a decade, and even this long departed from the event, I'm still undecided on whether I truly enjoyed myself or not.
Sure, having floor shows to the event felt a bit like being thiiiis close to your favourite rock star; but at the same time, I didn't feel like I got the full WWE experience, or at least to the point I had that many years ago.
For those who haven't been to a house show, the event presentation is more geared towards matches than storylines. For the most part, the bouts you see will fall in line with what's currently going on during the WWE broadcasts, but they tend to be longer (big positive for workrate fans like myself) and there are also fewer promos.
So for me, the experience in that respect was good. As I alluded to in my preview of Bragging Rights, the Daniel Bryan/Dolph Ziggler match in particular met my workrate craving, and the main event of Randy Orton vs. Sheamus definitely lived up to its billing.
But there was still something that didn't sit right to me. It wasn't that we had the old-school guard rails instead of hockey board-style barriers or that the entrance way was more akin to an indie show setup than the spectacular WWE staging. Even the aspects that bothered me when I was at live shows, be they house shows or tapings, like being able to see clearly how pulled punches are or how kicks don't often connect seemed less of a factor.
Then, sadly, it hit me. I had out-grown the thrill of "seeing it live."
Going as a journalist to the show wasn't any different than it had been in 2001, when I saw Chris Jericho battle Steve Austin in the main event at the Winnipeg Arena. In the same manner that I saw half the show through the viewfinder of my camera (though this was a DLSR rather than a point-and-shoot), I also spent half the time watching the action unfold in front of my eyes -- but perhaps more importantly this time around, I was watching it unfold through the eyes of those around me.
It goes without saying that, thanks to WWE's new kid-targeted direction, there were more pre-pubescent voices in the crowd than when I was there as an early 20s guy. Heck, even when I went as a teenager to a couple shows there was a more adult population there, or so it seemed. The excitement I saw from kids as they rushed the barricade to slap hands with the likes of Rey Mysterio was interesting to watch, because it brought me back to the days of being 10 years old and rushing to the aisle to, perhaps, get Bret Hart's sunglasses or slap hands with Randy Savage.
To me, therefore, it was more of playing Malcolm Gladwell than being a WWE fan that night. I was more interested in who got the pops than, say, chanting along with Miz on his signature catchphrase. I was no longer a participant in the show; I was an observer.
I've found a lot of the same going into other aspects of my wrestling reporting. As you'll see in my upcoming review of the new John Cena DVD, I still can't get the fascination with some of the new heroes. The ones that I watch more closely are those that either I watched in some of my formative modern viewing years like Rey Mysterio and Chris Jericho, or the ones that connect me to the past either in lineage (Ted DiBiase Jr.) or in their style (Daniel Bryan being similar to Chris Benoit in the ring -- and don't say he isn't).
This became even more apparent to me by how much I marked out during WWE Old School (as you saw in my Raw report). Everything about that show outside of one or two scenes was executed perfectly and drew me in as a guy who vividly remembered the old WWF opening, the Gene Okerlund interviews and even the Lord Alfred Hayes "promotional consideration" spots. That brought me back to the time when I was a kid, while the WWE house show experience reminded me that I'm not a kid anymore.
Does this mean that if/when the time comes that my future children beg me to take them to a WWE show that I'll either say 'no' or sit there like a grump, whacking my cane around? No, but I can also readily admit that by that time, I will be ready to say, "Okay kid, this one's for you."

Wireless airtime analysis
From OLPC
This page is devoted to the analysis of the airtime consumption in XO networks. In other words, to getting answers to questions like: how much of the medium is consumed by management traffic, or beacons, or the path discovery mechanism.
To obtain this answers we do a little math and introduce a tool that will make this math easier to do.
Airtime and Modulation technique
The time necessary to transmit a given frame is function not only of the transmission rate; it is also affected by the modulation technique in use. An XO will transmit frames in two different mechanisms:
- For the rates 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbps, frames will be transmitted in CCK
- For the rates 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps, frames will be transmitted in OFDM
- Frame size in bytes: S
- Datarate in Mbps: R
- Airtime in microseconds (us): T
For frames transmitted in CCK:
Note1: 192 is preamble duration (144 us) + PLPC header duration (48 us)
Note2: Supposing long preambles are being used in all transmissions.
For frames transmitted at more than 11 Mbps (OFDM):
Note: 26 is signal extension time (6us) + preamble (20us)
Airtime tool
This python tool was designed to take a capture file (tcpdump format) as input and calculate the airtime consumption of a given type of traffic (specified by a wireshark filter) for a consolidation interval:
You need wireshark on the box (the script uses tshark to decode the file). If you want to decode mesh frames you will need the mesh patch. No other dependencies. Just make the script executable and fire it:
./airtime.py -f <pcap-file> -i <interval> -w <filter> -o <output_format> [--no-fcs]
Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit -f PCAPFILE, --pcap-file=PCAPFILE Capture dump -t TEXTFILE, --text-file=TEXTFILE Capture already converted/filtered -i INTERVAL, --interval=INTERVAL Consolidation interval in seconds -w FILTER, --filter=FILTER Wireshark filter -o OUTPUT, --output-format=OUTPUT Output Format [csv, lines] --no-fcs don't check if frames have bad crc
- The input file (PCAPFILE) is a tcpdump capture file (captured by tcpdump, wireshark or any other compatible tool)
- Radiotap header must be present (for the script needs the tx datarate)
- If your capture does not provide Frame CheckSum (this is the case of the captures from XOs) you must provide the flag --no-fcs
- By default only frames with good FCS will be computed
- The script generates a temporary file in the local directory named <caprute file>.tmp3
- This file can be used instead of the original pcap file (using the -t option), if the filter is the same. This is meant to save processing time if you are to use the same set of data, changing only the consolidation interval.
- The .tmp3 file can be safely removed
- The default output format will dump a line for each consolidation timeslot with the percentage of airtime consumed.
- You can use '-o csv' to get a comma separated file that can be easily imported by a spreadsheet program
- Filters should be quoted: -w "filter expression". (see examples bellow)
- If you do not provide a filter, all frames in the file will be computed (total airtime)
- Default consolidation interval is 1 second.
- Fractions of a second can be used too.
1. To compute all airtime consumption for each one second interval:
./airtime.py -f capture.dump
2. To compute all traffic related to XOs in a 10 seconds consolidation interval:
./airtime.py -f capture.dump -i 10 -w "wlan contains 00:17:c4"
3. To use only icmp traffic and generate output in csv format:
./airtime.py -f capture.dump -w "icmp" -o csv
4. Only management traffic, over a file captured from an XO, consolidated at 100ms:
./airtime.py -f capture.dump -w "wlan.type == 0x0" --no-fcs -i 0.1
5. The same as above but using the pre-processed file and changing interval to 10ms:
./airtime.py -t capture.dump.tmp3 -i 0.01
6. icmp and path discovery traffic (the sum of both):
./airtime.py -f capture.dump -w "icmo or wlan_mgt.fixed.mesh_action" -o csv
Note that you need a properly patched wireshark to decode "wlan_mgt.fixed.mesh_action"
7. To have two separated set of datas (to later draw a graph on a spreadsheet):
./airtime.py -f capture.dump -w "icmp" -i 0.1 > output.csv ./airtime.py -f capture.dump -w "wlan_mgt.fixed.mesh_action" -i 0.1 >> output.csv
Note that you need a properly patched wireshark to decode "wlan_mgt.fixed.mesh_action"

DONG Energy has announced that it will build the Westermost Rough offshore wind farm, which will be located in the North Sea on the east coast of the U.K.
The construction of the wind farm and its transmission assets will represent a total investment of approximately 1 billion euros, DONG Energy says. When the wind farm enters operation, the transmission assets will be sold to an offshore transmission operator, as required by U.K. regulations.
The Westermost Rough offshore wind farm will be situated 8 km off the Yorkshire Coast, east of Hull. The project will consist of 35 Siemens 6 MW wind turbines, for a total capacity of 210 MW. A Siemens 6 MW turbine was recently erected at DONG Energy's demonstration site, Gunfleet Sands 3, and has already been tested at Test Centre Osterild and Test Centre Hovsore in Denmark.
Offshore construction of the Westermost Rough offshore wind farm will begin in the first half of 2014, and the project is expected to be fully commissioned in the first half of 2015.


text: with the extra 2nd we got from the Tony G deal. I know I know our line sucks, but we have a first and a second for that, our lesser 2nd from Atlanta should be used to pick up a good QB, that can be mentored into a solid start in case Matt Cassel doesn't work out. The only reason I suggest this, is the fact that none of you guys think Brodie can be a good starter, isn't that what a back up is for so in case your starter sucks or gets hurt they can step in, right?

Is He Turning Her On? Looks Like Keri Hilson Has A New NBA Baller Boo!
She's pretty (and seems nice). He is fine on every day ending with "y" (and seems nice). Keri Hilson and OKC baller Serge Ibaka, we are present for this one!
There have been rumors that Keri has been at a few Oklahoma City Thunder games since the season started and they were apparently spotted leaving a game together headed to dinner. But that's no big deal because celebrities meet and some just get along more than others, right? But she also serenaded Serge for his 23rd joint birthday party that he did with Angela Simmons back in September.
Well, last night, Miss Keri Baby celebrated her 30th birthday in Oklahoma City (now, she's a big city girl so celebrating her birthday in OKC gets a raised eyebrow) with a party hosted by Keri, OKC superstar Kevin Durant and…Serge Ibaka. And yes, those are her edges looking sweat out (probably from partying) and Serge with the hood low while they're hugged up.
There are random pictures of them in the club last night floating around but this picture just about does it for us. Oh, did you notice the seven year age difference? Keri found herself a nice tenderoni who's also still learning the English language so I'm sure they're having a good time…learning languages and being all "grown." Just having fun, people!
In the past, Keri has stated that she'd prefer not to date celebrities because she feels like those relationships are easily penetrated. But a little wooing from the right man can change your mind.
Anyway Keri, you go right ahead and enjoy the dirty 30s! You certainly did bring it in right!

I was browsing The Flavor Bible this evening when I found something that got me thinking. When they polled more than thirty of America's leading chefs about the ten ingredients they would take to a desert island for the rest of their lives, the number one ingredient was salt. It is nature's flavor enhancer and an important ingredient for influencing the taste of a dish.
So, I started wondering what ten items a librarian would bring to a deserted island. (Yes, a library on a deserted island. It's very Gilligan-esque.) Furthermore, what would be the number one thing?
I think the ten item list would get various mileage depending on people's specialties, but I'm going to hazard a guess for #1:
Index cards.
What do you think?
UPDATE: To rephrase, "if you were EXILED to a deserted island with a library, what item would you bring to help you manage the library for the rest of your life?" How's that?

text: heyfred3000 5pts One they didn't mention is the 7-seat version of the Rogue (called the Qashqai everywhere else). The Qashqai+2 has been a best seller since late 2008, would compete with and undercut the Mazda X-9 and Acura and Audi models. I would buy one in a heartbeat to replace my 10 y/o Mazda MPV, especially if they sold it with the Tech Diesel it comes with in Europe. My wife's cousin has one in Italy and it is a truly great SUV. Nissan thinks it would compete with the Pathfinder, but they sell to totally different consumers. We're not missing anything with the Micra. Although they are MANY times over the most common Nissan all over Europe, they're just mid-pack at best among the small cars offered there.

Both commercial and military aviation films are held by WFSA, covering a wide variety of general interest and technical matters, from the early experiments of Samuel Cody in Farnborough to Concorde.
The Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough is well represented, including the famous air shows. The Schneider Trophy air race is another famous event covered in the WFSA collections
Southampton Hall of Aviation have deposited a number of general films, including items on training, technical subjects and amateur material on flying boats. A noteworthy amateur film on this subject is A Sunderland in Civvies, showing the flying boat in action near Calshot in 1946. Other amateur aviation films include the Balfour collection, made by Mr Lionel Balfour of his 'Spithead Express' air ferry service (Portsmouth, Southsea and Isle of Wight Aviation Ltd.), which operated from Ryde Airport, 1932-1939; the Murley collection, featuring flying boats and seaplanes; and the Parsons collection, which includes footage of the Coronation air show at Odiham in 1953.
During and around World War Two, the South of England was an area noted for military aircraft manufacture and activity, which is featured in the collections of the Royal Observer Corps Museum, and Elliotts of Newbury. The latter took over the manufacture of aircraft components, including those for Spitfires, after the Blitz in 1940/1941, and took an interest in gliders later on. The Vickers Aviation archive is held by Cambridge University Library, but WFSA has video viewing copies of some films the company made about its history, which includes the development of the Spitfire. Other collections held by WFSA also feature this famous aircraft.

This week's 52 Weeks to Better Genealogy topic written by Amy Coffin is:
Read the back posts from the Transitional Genealogists Forum. This is a message board for genealogists who are taking the steps needed to become professional genealogists. Even if you aren't interested in that goal, you will benefit from the questions and answers provided on this excellent discussion list. If you have a genealogy blog, write about a question or subject from this board that was helpful for you.
I have subscribed to this list since this summer and have just lurked. Sometimes I find the discussions helpful, but often I just delete the emails. I love when the discussion focuses on research challenges. I love when new resources and books are discussed. I hate when it focuses on who is better or what organization is better. I also don't really like the email list format. It seems so outdated. It seems like the same few people control the lists most of the time. And I will never understand why people don't change the subject line from "digest mode" or change the subject line every time they post.
That said, if you can have time to deal with all the junk and know how to use the delete button, the TGF list can be helpful in answering your research questions and problems involved with doing genealogy professionally. But if you get caught up in the stupid stuff, you may never want to do genealogy professionally.

Last November, I speculated as to which, if any, eBook format Microsoft would support in Windows 8 tablets.
[Mistakenly, I also ranked Windows Media Center as "more central" to Microsoft's media consumption story. What? It's just one piece of the puzzle. Anyway. Always willing to admit mistakes.]
And now it looks like we have our answer. A $1.7 billion answer, by the way. Call it the Nook. From Barnes & Noble.
Microsoft agreed to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in Barnes & Noble's Nook division on Monday, giving the bookstore chain stronger footing in the hotly contested electronic book market and creating an alliance that could intensify the fight over the future of digital reading.
ePub is now the official winner in the eBook format wars. Why do I say that? It's the eBook format supported by nearly everyone. Apple. Sony. Adobe. Kobo Reader. Blackberry Playbook. Everyone except Amazon, which uses a proprietary variant of the Mobi format; to be kind, they also support a command-line ePub converter called KindleGen. Woo woo.
Oh wait… I'm missing something… Amazon owns 60% of the eBook market. And the U.S. Department of Justice apparently wants to help them get back to 90%. Winner: Mobi.
At any rate, here's what Microsoft has decided:
- On the eBook format side, Microsoft chooses ePub by investing in the Nook Division. It's the primary eBook format for the Nook Color and that's the future. Winner: ePub.
- On the device side, the news release says the Nook Division will create a Nook Reader for Windows 8. That reader will likely read multiple format types (the Android-based Nook already does), with ePub prominent among them. Winner: ePub.

View Agensys Bike Access Issues in a larger map. Based on Barbara Fillet's diagrams I also plotted out the area onto a google map to help illustrate why connectivity matters here, and how problematic existing alternative routes are going around the block to connect from Stewart, which is already classified a bike route
Planning Commission Meeting
Wednesday, September 1st, 7PM
Santa Monica City Council Chambers, SM Civic Center on Main Street
Things are moving fast and time is ticking on the bike access through proposed Agensys redevelopment of city land issue. The planning commission meeting this week is one of our last chances to voice community support for bike access through the property. So those of us who have been following the issue, primarily folks involved with Santa Monica Spoke, concluded our best shot to see bike access a reality is make as much noise as possible this Wednesday. This project is a fairly simple and perfect opportunity to create safer and more pleasant bike access through that neighborhood of Santa Monica, but really this is more than just about this particular property, it's about sending a message to the planning commission, to developers, to the council, that cycling concerns matter, and should in the future be addressed in planning matters from the outset.
Agensys seems to be dead set against bicycling for some reason. While earlier I heard liability concern was one of the reasons, I also just heard from a reliable source, that the city offered to take on full liability for a cycling path, and even reduce the rent proportional to the land use for the bike path, and the answer was still no. So the opposition to cycling access would seem to have little to do with money.
One of my concerns is that if the path through the property goes ahead as pedestrian only, with signs for cyclists to dismount, some cyclists just trying to find a safe route will try and ride through anyways. This would create more safety issues than if cycling was incorporated into the design, and it would make cyclists looking to avoid major high traffic intersections into rule breakers, and reinforce the notions many hold cyclists. It would dramatically improve connectivity to the Cross Roads school, and I imagine some kids would want to use the path to ride to school.
Unless there is some serious enforcement it is simply human nature that any path of travel free of car traffic, people will want to use, to walk to bike, to skate, what ever it may be. So we should start acknowledging this fact and design accordingly. Pedestrians walk all over bike paths, cyclists often ride on pedestrian corridors. We need to start acknowledging that everyone wants ways to get around that aren't driving, but the alternatives are often diverse. Any place with a bike path should have a pedestrian walkway, and pedestrian paths should have a bicycle path as well. Or if segregation of traffic into separate facilitates is impractical, you can do as some beach towns have done and designate pedestrian priorities zones where cyclists have access but must ride at slower speeds.
|Bill Bauer In The SMDP referred To Barbara Fillet (pictured here with husband Kent Strumpell), a long time SM resident and advocate to designate Michigan a bike route, as a "hard core" cyclist. She was characterized as self interested and only wanted the path for her and her "friends". Barbara loves to ride her Brompton folding bike which she can easily take on the bus, and likes to protect her ears from wind with custom helmet mounted ear muffs. She sees safe routes to schools as essential to city development. Hardly my idea of a "hard core" cyclist.
Here is a look at some of the public that would benefit from greater bike connectivity in the area. Since nay-sayers like Bill Bauer have likely never stepped foot to pedal for a bike ride in Santa Monica, maybe these photos can offer proof a public exists in Santa Monica that actually wants to feel safe riding a bike in this town. A look at the sprawling mass of bikes at the bike valet off of the bike path for the Twilight Dance Series is another favorite image of mine to show how many people in SM are willing to ride when you provide the facilities for it.
If you want to see bike access a reality for that block, especially if you are a Santa Monica resident, I highly encourage you to show up with a 2 minute or less little speech about it, or even just be in attendance if your too nervous to speak. I know it can be a bit boring at times these public meetings, but if we can start reliably getting attendance at these things, this is a powerful way that we can change the political landscape. Some of the more ambitious bike projects proposed for Santa Monicas original 1995 bicycle master plan were shot down because opposition was mobilized and cyclists simply weren't at the time. We have to flip that around, and I see enough bikes on the streets of Santa Monica these days, that if we wanted to, and came together, we could become a real political force.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Nick Johnson didn't wince at the words Arizona coach Sean Miller uttered in front of a room full of reporters. He actually smiled.
"I thought we overcame Nick not scoring," Miller said on Thursday after Arizona survived a scare by San Diego State and an even bigger one by its best player.
And Johnson smiled.
Those words should've stung, except in the final 166 seconds, Johnson carried Arizona on his back. After missing his first 10 shots, Johnson scored on a fastbreak layup off a nice pass from teammate Gabe York with 2 minutes, 46 seconds left. He was 0 for 7 in the first half, and Arizona still upended San Diego State 70-64 in the Sweet 16 contest at the Honda Center.
Arizona advances to the Elite Eight and a date with Wisconsin.
Arizona is living right.
Even when Johnson went missing, Aaron Gordon and T.J. McConnell took over. Until Johnson took control at the end.
"I felt like a few shots in the first half and in the second half didn't go down," Johnson said. "I thought they were good shots. But, I mean, I was just trying to stay with it. These guys give me great confidence to keep shooting the ball and just finish the game. That's what I did."
What an understatement.
He finished what could've been the biggest stain on his career had he not recovered in time to propel Arizona.
And that's why he couldn't stop smiling afterward. Joy. Relief. Disbelief. Surely a bit of everything.
"I've had a few games like this this year," Johnson said. "It's unfortunately been our losses, so I just try to stay with it. Like I said, Coach, the whole coaching staff, all the time, they're great keeping me up. Just saying, 'Next play.'
"When I hit one shot it just started to feel a little bit better. I mean, I just kept on hitting shots."
Miller isn't sure this would've been the same had the situation appeared two years ago.
"Early in his career, like all young players, it's not easy to put a bad first half behind you and come up big at the end," Miller said. "Between his free-throw shooting and that 3-point shot, it's amazing for a kid to be able to do that after not making shots for 25, 30 minutes straight."
Make that 37.
The top-seed Wildcats trailed by as many as eight points in the first half and Johnson had incredible timing to have an off night. Yet he finished with 15 points and made all 10 free throws, all in the final 92 seconds.
And Arizona hung around and took the lead with six minutes left.
Then Johnson did his usual thing.
It's good to be Arizona. Its best player doesn't score until there's less than three minutes left. And Arizona is 8-2 this season when trailing at halftime.
The Wildcats are living right.
The Aztecs defense was good early, so much so that they made like Arizona, which had the best defense in the country this season. San Diego State's Dwayne Polee II did a tremendous job defending guard Johnson.
Miller called a timeout early to make sure Arizona settled into its offense against the 1-3-1 zone.
"I talked at halftime about the fact he (Johnson) was 0 for 7 from the field," San Diego State coach Steve Fisher said. "He's their best player. He's saying, 'I'm going to help you' and we have to say 'we're not going to let him go off on us the way he has so often.'
"If you look at the boxscore, I think he scored a 3 with under three minutes to go and made 10 straight free throws in the last 1:32. He got 13 of his 15 points in the last couple three minutes. Good players do that."
The only shot Johnson made in the first half was a long-range shot to beat the buzzer at the end of the first half, but it didn't beat the buzzer. He's a shooter, so he kept shooting and an early shot in the second half spun around the rim and was in and out.
Johnson's pivotal layup extended Arizona's lead to 56-51. It was a dagger. The easiest of shots, but it paid the most dividends for Johnson.
Johnson also made a 3-pointer with 1:52 left to give Arizona an eight-point lead at 61-53.
San Diego State was all over the offensive glass in the first half, grabbing six offensive rebounds inside the game's first five minutes and finishing with 10 offensive rebounds in the first half.
Arizona wasn't going anywhere. The Wildcats started to find their groove — with the exception of Johnson — and they got their fans into it when Aaron Gordon had a monster dunk off an alleyoop pass from York (playing in front of plenty of family here from his hometown of West Covina). That big dunk cut San Diego State's lead to 40-38.
With 5:49 left, Gordon, who made plays all over the court, tipped in an errant shot to put Arizona up 52-50.
But that layup and 3-pointer and all those free throws from Johnson were so instrumental. The best player didn't play his best until the end.
And that was just what Arizona needed.

Diana writes: "The mounting is of the type I associate with daguerreotypes but it appears to be a carte de visite cut in two, with the remains of the sitter's female companion's dress still clearly visible. The motive for editing rather than destruction is not clear, although it may have been the cost of photos that caused the sitter to retain his own image."
I note the manner in which the photograph has been cut, leaving all extremities of the bearded man intact, rather than stright down the middle, retaining as much as possible of both people in the two halves. This suggests to me that the purpose was not make two portraits out of one, but to remove the left hand subject - who, judging from the clothing, must be a woman - from the portrait while keeping the right-hand subject whole.
This type of leatherette-covered wooden case, complete with brass "finisher," cover glass and pinchbeck surround, was indeed used for daguerreotype and ambrotype portraits, and often hinged with a velvet lined cover. However, this particular one is probably of a slightly later date - at least the late 1850s or 1860s, but possibly later - and the hanging ring just visible at the top shows that it never had a cover. Travelling photographers often used these cheap cases to house ambrotypes and tintypes, even as late as the 1890s - see this example from the 1890s which has come adrift from its case but still retains the pinchbeck surround. The small size of carte de visite portraits didn't render them ideal for framing, but I have occasionally come across them displayed in that manner. In this case, I believe someone has rather crudely inserted the remains of the cdv into a frame which originally contained some other portrait.
In the same genre, I have a photo of my husband's aunt, cut off for all eternity from (presumably) her spouse by a series of razor blade strokes (my late father-in-law is the prime suspect).
In the third example, which is a contact print made from a glass negative, someone (perhaps a child or an early animal rights activist) has crudely scratched out the face of the fur-loving woman from the negative. Nowadays, photos of detested acquaintances are likely to be simply deleted before ever seeing the light of day, but I was intrigued by the censorship methods employed by earlier generations.
I have seen many such photographs, although not from my own family collection, thank goodness. The more recent ones are often accompanied by interesting oral traditions; sadly the relevance of the excision in the older ones is usually lost.
Nigel Aspdin has an early carte de visite portrait of a large family group (click image for a larger version) by Derby photographer J. Burton & Sons, which has a similar mutilation of the face of a central seated gentleman. Since the group itself is as yet unidentified, the reason for the clearly purposeful excision of said gentleman can only be guessed at.
This particular paper print by a street photographer in Lowestoft appears to have survived unscathed, although it, too, was unwanted. As recounted in a previous Photo-Sleuth post, the former owner devised a different, but equally effective, and possibly more satisfying, innovative solution for getting rid of photographs of detested relatives. He sells them on eBay, creating, I suppose, the potential for a new genre for which someone will eventually - if they haven't already - create a Flickr group: Unadoptable Orphan Photos.
Many thanks to Diana for both the images and the idea for this article.
