SOA Grammar – Are Services Verbs or Nouns?

Reading List
Jason Bloomberg's recent post - Are Services Nouns or Verbs? - discusses whether services should represent verbs or nouns.
It's possible to design Services either way, as Entity Services, which predictably represent business entities, or as Task Services, that represent specific actions that implement some step in a process, in other words, verbs. Which approach is better?
Jason is using an example of a service approving a pending insurance policy in order to explain a difference between "noun" and "verb" type of services.
...following the OO approach, we might have an insurance policy object with several operations, including one that approves the policy, as the following pseudo code illustrates:
myPolicy = new Policy (); ... successOrFailure = myPolicy.approve ();... it is certainly possible to create a Policy Service as an Entity Service that has an approve operation that works more or less like the example above, with one fundamental difference: because Services are fundamentally stateless, you don't instantiate them. Here, then, is pseudo code that represents how an Entity Service would tackle the same functionality:
request to create new policy, specifying create policy operation --> Policy Service --> response with policy number 12345
request to approve policy 12345, specifying approve policy operation --> Policy Service --> response with success or failure
Although this is a typical approach to services design, well-aligned with OO practices, Jason points out that there is:
...another way of offering the same functionality as the Entity Service above where the Services represent verbs rather than nouns, what we call Task Services. Here is the pseudo code for this situation:
request to create new policy --> createNewPolicy Service --> response with policy number 12345
request to approve policy 12345 -- > approvePolicy Service --> response with success or failureIn this example, neither Task Service has any operations, but rather the functionality of each Service is understood from the context of the Service. After all, what would an approvePolicy Service do but approve policies?
In Jason's opinion:
Both Entity and Task Services help architects connect the dots between legacy capabilities on the one hand, and flexible process requirements on the other... Entity Services... directly abstract underlying legacy capabilities... the Task Services, [represent] abstractions of individual operations belonging to underlying Entity Services. The... Process Services... are typically compositions of Task Services. In other words, Process Services are interfaces to SOBAs, and when those SOBAs are compositions of properly designed Task Services, they will exhibit process isomorphism.
Jason completes his post by stating:
As is usually the case, architects have several options at their disposal, and knowing which option is appropriate often depends on the business problem, an example of the "right tool for the job" principle. If the business problem is process-centric, say, a need to streamline or optimize the policy issuance process, then implementing SOBAs as compositions of Task Services will facilitate process flexibility. In other cases, the business problem is more information-centric than process-centric, for example, putting consolidated customer information on a call center rep's screen. In such instances the architect's focus may be on an Entity Service, because the rep is dealing with a particular customer and must be able to interact with that customer in a flexible way.
Although Jason tries to note (several times) the differences between SOA and OO in his post, the post itself is a testament of how much our OO experiences impact our SOA understanding. Let's start from definitions. According to Wikipedia:
- Noun: a part of speech inflected for case, signifying a concrete or abstract entity.
- Verb: a part of speech without case inflection, but inflected for tense, person and number, signifying an activity or process performed or undergone.
Following Jason's explanation that "Services are fundamentally stateless", they can't represent an entity. In his example, a Policy service is not an entity service, but rather a collection of methods supporting operations (verbs) on any policy. This is similar to a stateless session bean (J2EE), which can hardly be called a noun. So, at the end of the day, Service is never a noun, its either a verb or a collection of verbs and the difference between what Jason calls Entity and Task services is the amount of methods that they are exposing.

Third Choice
Jason Alcock
A RESTful interface could produce and entity that has a field "Status:READY_FOR_APPROVAL". A consumer of the interface could post back the entity with "Status:APPROVED". The service will the determine the value change, and make any required validations, then take appropriate action.
This avoids both Task style or OO style API's, and is fundamentally stateless.
This may not seem a natural paradigm, but neither was OO when first unleashed on a function+structure world.
Re: Third Choice
Jean-Jacques Dubray
it does not matter how you "encode" the approve action. All that you are explaining is strictly (and only) equivalent to :
myOrder.Approve() (you POSTed to /orders/myOrder)
REST is fully object oriented with a global naming service and a ubiquitous ORB. There is nothing service oriented in what you are explaining, it is all Distributed Objects.
Service Orientation is about constructing systems with technologies that support bidirectional message oriented interfaces, explicit separation between interface and implementation, asynchrony, forward compatible versioning, extensible data models, orchestration, assemblies... None of these technologies are available in REST.
As a reminder there is no "service" in REST (I am not sure what you are talking about), REST can only yield synchronous interactions, cannot support versioning, since there is nothing to version, REST is bolting access to implementation. REST is not message oriented, it is RPC all the way.
Re: Third Choice
Dilip Krishnan
I'm not sure that these two choices are the only ones available.
There are only two ways of looking at it...
the OO style = Where the service 'appears' to be the instance of the entity and all the operations are on itself
the Task style = Where the service is a container for all the operations it supports
In a stateless SOAP service its just as Boris says
Service is never a noun, its either a verb or a collection of verbs and the difference between what Jason calls Entity and Task services is the amount of methods that they are exposing.
When these operations in the SOAP service fall back to using a limited vocabulary of operations that do not have domain significance for e.g. GetOrder(), UpdateOrder(), DeleteOrder(), the service transforms into a document service, which is in essence an entity service.
RESTful services are usually a mix of entity services (noun) and task services (verb) with emphasis on the noun aspect. Assuming entity in question is an Order i.e. Order is a resource (noun) that supports a POST operation (verb) that infers the Approved status from the document/payload. Notice the verbs applicable to the service are a finite set (GET/PUT/POST/DELETE).
Ganesh has a very nice post that discribes this as "Viewpoint Flip".
Re: Third Choice
Dilip Krishnan
it is all Distributed Objects.
Objects? did you mean resources?
REST is bolting access to implementation. REST is not message oriented, it is RPC all the way.
Could you explain what aspects of REST is RPC?
Re: Third Choice
Jean-Jacques Dubray
no I really meant object. /orders/myOrder is the instance of a class object. Its methods are accessed via encoding them such as:
myOrder.submit() -> POST /orders/myOrder/submission
myOrder.cancel() -> POST /orders/myOrder/cancellation
myOrder.ship() -> POST /orders/myOrder/shipment
myOrder.getStatus() -> GET /orders/myOrder/status
There is no viewpoint flip, there is just encoding. Unless you want to name this silly encoding the "viewpoint flip". If you don't encode the class's methods, you are simply CRUDing the state of the object directly, which everyone will do, even though they know it's bad.
Before you know it a smart developer who wants to make a name for himself or herself (and frankly tired of doing all this by hand) will create a code generation framework that transforms classes into RESTful calls, including the serialization of standard types (dubbed resource representation) like in the good old days of SOAP RPC.
The only reason behind REST-* is to provide a specification of OTS (still missing in REST), then the picture will be complete for the old CORBA guys. They will finally have achieved an unbreakable ubiquitous Distributed Object model, sweeping under the rug a decade of innovation of Service Orientation.
Re: Third Choice
Dilip Krishnan
no I really meant object. /orders/myOrder is the instance of a class object. Its methods are accessed via encoding them such as:
myOrder.submit() -> POST /orders/myOrder/submission
There is no viewpoint flip, there is just encoding.
At the end of the day everything is encoding :) What ROA or SOA does is allow us to communicate ideas/architectural decisions at a higher level of abstraction. "Viewpoint flip" as a concept has nothing to do with REST or SOA or what have you. It has to do with how one wishes to model the service; as a stateless container of operations that act on domain entities or as a logical entity that exposes operations that can act on itself, a object oriented approach to model services.
BTW. you still haven't explained why you think REST is RPC.
Re: Third Choice
Jean-Jacques Dubray
RPC is defined by the degree of loose coupling between the interface and the implementation. I have explained in this post a long time ago how strong of a coupling the server-to-server REST was introducing, while it offers a nearly perfect loose coupling in browser-to-server scenario.
At the end of the day, REST offers some canned loose coupling capabilities (routing and caching) but it exposes directly what I call the "internal" interface, the main characteristic of RPC based technology.
What the RESTafarians don't understand is that SOA has introduced an explicit separation between the interface and the implementation (the external and the internal interface). That is not RPC. Of course the vendors decided that it was not RPC enough to their taste and they quickly made sure you could generate WSDLs from Java or .Net classes. This is for instance what InnoQ as they presented recently in InfoQ.
Unfortunately, the very nature of REST that creates a virtuous circle by transferring the internal interface of the resource to the browser induces the very nature of RPC and the strong coupling in case of server-to-server scenarios.
Re: Third Choice
William Martinez
Sorry I disagree with you, not in the facts, but in the concepts.
1. Yes, web services in general (not only those "RESTful") are made RPCish by tools. My Battle story is actually the WRAPPED thing the they made up to convert truly document style into RPC style, by actually modifying the document! Worst coupling cannot be achieved.
Still, that is NOT REST. REST has nothing to do with objects nor RPC. People that are trying to do services without SOAP, said they will do them REST, and they then started creating the same horrible things like RPC and object distribution into HTTP (NOT REST). SO, you are right on facts, but wrong in the REST concept.
2. Not quite agree of your definition of RPC. To me it generates coupling but is not defined by it. Now, server-to-server coupling is due to bad design. In REST you have a client-server based style, that means you have two components, one is someone offering some services, and the other one consumes them (NOT the same Service concept here, careful). Later, abstraction in communication says you have a client that can perform operations upon a resource. So, a server-to-server is not quite a good abstraction, thus it is probably bad design.
William Martinez
Verbs, operations?
William Martinez
God!, There are only two ways of doing services? Just thinking of them as Objects, meaning collections of methods? When in time the concept of an object was changed to just a library?
Or... Think of them as verbs? No way! I have never though of a service as a verb, an entity-less operation!
Services are like live processes. And they should never receive action commands! They get documents, period. They should check those documents, and respond accordingly. If you do anything else, like commanding actions or calling operations on a service, you are just creation a distributed library, not even a distributed object system.

Re: Third Choice
Dilip Krishnan
I read your article, and though it does a nice job outlining the problems with reliance on out-of-band change management in RESTful services in regard to message schema's, versioning etc. ...
RPC is defined by the degree of loose coupling between the interface and the implementation. I have explained in this post a long time ago how strong of a coupling the server-to-server REST was introducing, while it offers a nearly perfect loose coupling in browser-to-server scenario.
At the end of the day, REST offers some canned loose coupling capabilities (routing and caching) but it exposes directly what I call the "internal" interface, the main characteristic of RPC based technology.
... I think it doesnt resonate with me because of the following reasons
1. In any form of service oriented architecture, RESTful or otherwise, "boundaries are explicit", so in that sense, internal interfaces should be opaque to consumers. So though, changes in service implementation implicitly affect consumers across boundaries, that is not specific to ANY form of services, be it CORBA, WS-* or RESTful. I say this in the context of this statement in your article
Ah... wait a minute, what happens to Ci and Pi in REST? well they are undefined. You mean that if I change the implementation, I can't really test that Pi or Ci has not been impacted?
2. Secondly, while your model is great at articulating how one can measure coupling as an observer to the entire systems, the architectural viewpoint that one uses for change impact analysis on a producer and consumer cannot be same. IMHO, it seems like the boundaries for analysis have been conveniently moved to make the argument that REST introduces strong coupling between client and service.
3. Thirdly using the logic that RPC is a measure of coupling (more coupling = RPC), and hence, if REST is strong coupling, then REST must be RPC, is NOT proof in set theory as I know it.
Re: Verbs, operations?
Dilip Krishnan
Re: Third Choice
Jean-Jacques Dubray
Runtime invocations are synchronous, uni-directional, quick-running,... all the characteristics of RPC technologies.
I don't know many services which are "truly" autonomic. They all share some kind of container. REST is no different. Actually REST goes even further, REST offers one of the worst autonomy possible as it requires all resources to be under the same network authority, and prevents any kind of migration away from that network authority without breaking any systems that holds URIs that point to the original one. So in the RPC world, REST is one of the worst technology possible because I can't ever move my resources (you remember cool URIs don't change?)
To answer specifically your point #2, this is the definition of loose coupling, there is nothing that conveniently moved. There is no other way to achieve loose coupling, and certainly not by some automagical encoding. Encoding is by definition isomorphic. If you encode some RPC call, the encoding will be RPC. You have gained nothing and lost nothing. This is why function or object oriented RPC technologies failed in the past. This is why REST will fail just as well. People can try to market this encoding for money, but it is not because people pay high consulting fees that your encoding provides any value.
After all, people are signing up in droves for credit cards that charge 20% or more and is going to hurt them significantly months and years later. They are doing that for the instant gratification of getting some money without working for it, then they have to work 20% more for having had this privilege. So it should not be surprising that just as many people in IT would sign up in droves for a technology that give them the instant gratification of simplicity, even if shortly thereafter they start paying a heavy price for dealing with it.
Roy's REST works, works really well, trying to apply REST outside the boundaries for which it was defined does not work, my blog post explains why.
Re: Third Choice
Luis Espinal
it does not matter how you "encode" the approve action.
It might not matter functionally, but it does matter conceptually. Developers go by conceptual models as they try to put stuff together so that the pedal meets the metal. A poorly design conceptual model (be it verbs or nouns) will have significant impact in its usability.
On another note, and this is not addressed to anyone in particular, I'm not sure why people tend/attempt to model coarse-grained services as entities. If they are stateless, then they can't be entities. It seems to me that objects (or entities) make sense at a level of abstraction that is different from the level of abstraction that services reside.
A service is a discrete, well-defined rendered capability that runs and can be reached at a given location as part of a collection of services. Services get accessed by objects/entities/processes, perhaps triggered by a call to another service. That is, there is no "service A that access service B". There is "object A that resides within the boundaries of location Z, gets out of those boundaries to access a service B that resides at a possibly different location."
With that in mind, and with the tenet that we want to be as stateless as possible, it seems, then, that services are better thought of as verbs, as (OMG!blazffemey!) procedures. In the actual implementation, there might be an object (or a collaboration of objects) that implement those services, but from an external (and stateless) point of view, that's a distracting detail. Furthermore, a client object might use one or more objects to get to access the service, but that's just that, a proxy to get to a procedure that lives somewhere else.
Unless a service (or collection of services) require an state to operate, trying to force services (specially stateless services) as objects or nouns sounds more like "syntactic salt" IMHO.

Title text: Once, long ago, I saw this girl go by. I didn't stop and talk to her, and I've regretted it ever since.
The base part of the comic is self-explanatory: Girl attracts Boy, Boy notices Girl, Boy approaches Girl, Girl reacts positively, Boy falls in love, Girl decides to answer lovecall, happily ever after etc. The quirk in this comic is the way Girl catches attention of Boy in the comic: through the signature move of 1980's rapper MC Hammer (the slide). To watch MC Hammer doin' the slide, click here.
The title text indicates that Randall once saw a girl go by and regrets that he did not speak with her as Boy does in this comic. The title text is unclear whether Randall is stressing the word "this". It is possible that the girl Randall is referring to was actually doing the slide.
- [Two guys stand next to each other talking.]
- Cueball: I just feel like somewhere out there is the girl for me.

Watching was hot as fuck and got me very wet. come lick me up.
I love how You can see Inside Her VAGINA & seeing OPEN & Close like that turn's me on !!!!!!
I LOVE these kind of videos!! I just wish they would give us a quick view of the woman that the pussy is attached to. I dont care how great the pussy is I dont want to see it if it belongs to a fat or ugly skank. Just sayin.
è proprio sfondata la passera eh??
got dam i like her.i wish i could find her pretty pussy having ass.her new name is waterfall. she need 2 come 2 memphis where i stay.haha
I want to lick that up sooo bad. I'm dripping watching this!
Y God that beautiful pussy was winking at me!,
Das ist das geilste Video das ich je gesehen habe :-) Hätte den Saft gerne geschluckt ;-)
This video should prove that some woman can squirt, and its not piss. If you watch this video and still think woman can't squirt sex juices you dont understand female anatomy or the pussy!
The pussy is the size of my mouth when I yawn
verdammt .. das video ist so geil ... mir ging beim zusehen einer in die hose ab
Fucking hot! WTG girl!!!!
Can I go down on you please???
my pussy does this and squirts at the same time..my husband loves it when my juices get all over him
bei dieser geilen möse ,usste ich einfach hand an mich legen und mächtig abspritzen..... so geiiiil
that pussy would easily fit two cocks at once.
yeah great ! more like this this with open cunt mmmhh! delicious
i love how open and creamy and sticky she is just before she squirts ...yummm tyvm
the vid made me so horny ... a big load goes into my slip....
have a big load in my trousers withou hand during looking....
the video made me so horny that I accidentally squirts in my boxer short
I would lick up every drop
This video is excellent.... cimung hard during looking
Nice pussy lips, i love to see a pussy masturbating and cum,want to lick her
Great video ... it made me come only by looking ....
Its like waterfalls yaa
its like a waterfall :D
I want her.
i'd lick every drop as it flowed out
oh my god.. this video is very good... mei cook is hard and i came during lookong very hard
Had a girl like this once, never again. Ruined the mattress. I would hate to have to put down plastic every time we have sex, FML. LoL
oh to taste the juice cumming out of there
I wana drink this oily fluid
oh yea.....
so... a vagina aint something you really wanna look at that closely. also, this labia was brought to you by ruffles potato chips. HA
I am sure your teeny penis is a thrill to see...asshole.
Mixed on this one...purely amazing but..it was so big and wet...like some unknown cave...like a fucking river just poured out...so scary...yet fascinating...
That was awesome. To see a genuine ejaculating orgasm like that close up is fabulous.My girl comes like that and it is wonderful when I am liccking her labia and I can see the inside of her gaping vagina, see her pussy juices squirt into my mouth (it tastes great) and all over my face. It is also fabulous to be in a cunt like that, to feel the violent contractions around your cock and the wet warm flow down the length of my penis and drench my balls.
Damn but I miss my old gf! She squirted what seemed like cups of fluid every time she orgasmed and I sure miss that! Love when a woman gets this hot, wish all women would cum like that!
So do all women :)
This video could have been better!
You do better and then let us see it.
great great great great great great great great
omg... i've comeing by looking this vid... it turns me an my cook so on
moar like this
ohhhh my god................. coming so hard while looking
Very very good - and quite sexy.
A good ventriloquist could make this video even better. What would she make the pussy say?
i love this video because it's exciting
This watery cave was kind of scary
that was fucken awesome
i've just come looking this
A woman that produces that much pleasure in herself is simply adorable. a true goddess. inspiring!
Love the video pity it finished to quickly
I luv to see an open cunt hole and a slut pishing cunt juice as cums in her cunt.
dang !
es de los mas esquisitos videos
i had one lick that she was a good fuck
Woah.. anatomy lesson much?
know where to come for a drink and enjoy the juice
Christi, show us a video. This lady is HOT. She is the best. Do anybody know of any more of her vids?
They should bottle that & sell It!
I'd stick my dick in and plug up that hole until it shot all over my balls and run dowm my ass
thanks for cumming. all that beef would make good pussy pumping. can i be the first to see?. please.
Was anybody else scared?? haha.. It opened so big.. Mine is so much smaller and cuter.. :p But I guess every girls different.. And every man likes different.. :)
nice video got me so hard
to lose!!!
my dick cum when i saw this video
im pretty sure it was tryin to say somethin
I would love to drink every drop of that cum. That's a vaginal orgasm taking place. You can tell because the fluid is milky in color. The other type of squirt is the clitoral orgasm which is clear in color. The clitoral squirt doesn't have much taste, unlike the vaginal orgasm, which has a bitter taste. Bitter or not, I love it and will drink all I can. Same for the clitoral squirt. It's ALL GOOD !
oh my god. that was nasty as fuck. looks like she fucked a traffic cone. gross
nice pussy
gliela leccherei tutta
Being wet is one ting..looks good...but this cunt looks like Bin Ladens cave..nasty
I have mixed emotions. On one hand - that was hot. But on another - THAT THING TRIED TO EAT LUKE SKYWALKER! Let's remember our history people. =P
elle doit se prend de grosse bite
the best waterfall
i would lick those jucies all day. BEAUTIFUL
superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!!!!!!!!
God... I want drink it all
I just want to fuck her right now. hope my grlfrnd would cum like this.
i wouid drink that dry
oh fuck thats my mother!!!!!
It's almost like a river.. :D
lo rivedo sempre volentieri un video bellissimo
Now that is what you call a quality video, I love the way it just begged to be filled with throbbing cock..
ive just cum all over my monitor, very nice
good good good
love to have my mouth aorund her sweet little lips as she cums
It's a fake gush!!! that looks like to wather...
oh my god.... watching this video makes my cook so hard an i have to masturbate.... it makes me come sooooooo hard ohhhhhhhhhhh my gooooooooooooooooooooood.......
she is pishing!!!
that is fake she put something in he toy is water stupid people she lie lol
so wet
I would like to put all her cunny juice in a brandy snifter, and sip on it by the fireplace in my smoking jacket.
christi i think you should put a video up on here for us to see...

The course covers a lot of material and memorization and I was most impressed with my teacher. She did really well guiding our group, keeping the class moving and making sure we were all on the same page right along to the end making sure every last one of us passed.

Third quarter 2011 revenue for The Sports Club Co., Los Angeles, increased 7.2 percent compared to the same quarter last year, the company announced last Friday, just two days after Equinox announced it had completed its acquisition of the company.
Equinox, New York, announced in August that it was purchasing The Sports Club Co. and its three The Sports Club/LA clubs in California and The Sports Club/LA club at New York's Rockefeller Center. Neither company would disclose a purchase price, but a source close to the deal put the price at $130 million. The Los Angeles Times reported it as $125 million.
Equinox will transition these clubs to the Equinox brand over the next six months and plans to enhance all four clubs with a multi-million-dollar investment. The acquisition has expanded Equinox's footprint in its two largest markets, New York and Los Angeles. Equinox now has 55 clubs total.
In its last quarterly report as a company traded on the Pink Sheets, The Sports Club Co. reported that its third quarter 2011 revenue was $13.9 million compared to $13 million in third quarter 2010.
Revenue for the first nine months of 2011 was $41.9 million compared to $39.7 million for the first nine months of 2010, an increase of 5.7 percent.
Millennium Partners Sports Club Management, Boston, still owns and operates The Sports Club/LA clubs in Boston, Miami, San Francisco, the Upper East Side of New York and Washington, DC, as well as the Reebok Sports Club/NY, all of which it purchased from The Sports Club Co. in 2006 for $80 million.

USC produced posters featuring quarterback Matt Barkley, above, defensive back T.J. McDonald and receiver Robert Woods. Granted, the Trojans are ineligible for bowl play because of NCAA sanctions, but this program has never been one to duck a challenge. Consider that since the NCAA adopted the divisional setup in 1978, USC is one of three four teams to have never played a Division I-AA opponent. (Can you name the other two? three? Answer at bottom.) The Trojans, in fact, have played only 13 regular season games against non-BCS conference opponents in the last 15 years. This season's nonconference opponents are Minnesota, Syracuse and Notre Dame.
Click the images to enlarge. Thanks to Craig and Tim.
Answer: UCLA, and Notre Dame and Washington. The Huskies, however, fall off the list in Week 1 because they play Eastern Washington.

Noctua NH-U12S Review
Noctua NH-U12S Introduction:
If you are talking about high performance air-cooled solutions, then the name Noctua is sure to enter the conversation. When you start mentioning high performance air coolers that don't use fans that will make your ears bleed, the list shrinks dramatically, leaving just a few really strong players with Noctua being in the top two. Having first-hand experience with many of the company's innovative designs, gives me a distinct perspective on what they have to offer the end user. With the NH-U12S, Noctua has addressed one of the glaring problems associated with high performance air-cooled solutions: the inability to use all the DIMM slots on a motherboard due to heat sink interference. This is especially true when you are talking about modules with large heat shields, such as the Patriot Viper Series, Mushkin Ridgebacks, Corsair Vengeance and Dominator modules, and many more out on the market. It's an issue that means a compromise on how you cool the CPU or how much memory to install in the system, not to mention whether you can use a set of high performance modules or have to stick to standard modules.
These are problems that are not Noctua-specific, but rather an issue with pretty much any company that offers a large tower-design heat sink. Some companies have addressed the issue with new slim tower designs, like Noctua's NH-U12S, or moved to one of the many all-in-one (AIO) liquid solutions on the market. An AIO solution is nice, but over the long term, most people do not trust liquid solutions and would rather stick with straight-up air cooling. In that case, Noctua has an option for that user in its NH-U12S. Priced at $69 and equipped with a six-year warranty, Noctua has what may be one of the best cooling solutions to meet the challenge of memory compatibility head on. Let's see how it does when put to the test.
Noctua NH-U12S Closer Look:
Noctua's packaging is not flashy, in that it does not use wild graphics and bright colors to draw attention to the package. Instead, Noctua uses an understated design that is full of information on all sides to ensure the consumer has all the needed information for an educated purchase decision. That is when shopping at a brick and mortar locations, of course. The front panel shows a list of specifications without a lot of detail to draw you in. On the back is a brief description of the attributes that make the NH-U12S a solid product, while one side panel features technical specifications, with the opposite side providing details on some of the unique features of the NH-U12S.
As I have seen in the past, Noctua packs the box with everything you will need while making sure the heat sink arrives unscathed. The hardware accessories are packaged individually in boxes, including the AMD-specific, Intel-specific, and common parts. These boxes take up what little available space there is inside the packaging.
Individually packaging the accessories has always been something that Noctua has done. The method of delivery has changed this time around, with each part of the SecuFirm2 mounting kit segregated into boxes rather than bags. The AMD brackets are used specifically for AMD solutions and support all the latest sockets. The Intel SecuFirm2 bracket kit includes a robust backplate that is designed specifically for Socket 115X usage, rather than being multi-socket compatible like much of the rest of the line up. I understand the reasoning though, as this cooler is designed to address a specific issue seen on Intel Socket 115X, 2011, and AMD platforms with memory clearance. The common parts kit includes a screwdriver, low noise adapter, fan mounting hardware for another NF-F12 PWM fan, and Noctua's own NT-H1 thermal compound.
Each time I have looked at a heat sink from Noctua, it's amazing to see how the engineering work behind a quiet, high performance cooling solution is implemented. When you sit down and think about it, each thing the company does is for a reason and addresses the shortcomings of other designs, in order to deliver on the company's core principles.

James Ellis Civil War Patriotic Covers Collection
During the earliest days of the Civil War, publishers began to issue large numbers of "patriotic covers," cheaply produced but often colorfully-illustrated envelopes commemorating the personalities and events of the war. The topics were highly varied, ranging military and political figures, significant battles and other events, nostalgia for home, slavery, and southern versus northern character.
Collected by James Ellis, the Patriotic Cover Collection contains over 250 envelopes published during the Civil War, primarily in the northern states. All envelopes are unused and in relatively pristine condition.

NFC East Impact Rookies: Nelson Agholor, Philadelphia Eagles
It has been a dizzying offseason for the Philadelphia Eagles, with Chip Kelly leading the way in the Eagles rebuild and eventual resurgence - or collapse. One of the most notable departures from the team was veteran receiver Jeremy Maclin, who reunited with former Eagles' coach Andy Reid in Kansas City.
However, the Eagles may have found Maclin's replacement - in a number of ways - by drafting USC WR Nelson Agholor with the 20th overall pick in this year's draft.
While Agholor was not slated as a first rounder in many mock drafts, the scheme fit in Philly could be a match made in heaven for Sam Bradford and the new Eagles' offense.
Agholor is the definition of a well-balanced receiver, with very crisp route-running abilities. He can get up field quickly, running a 4.42-second 40-yard dash at the combine. His frame also will also allow him to fight for any jump balls from the wideout or slot position.
If that description does not fit Jeremy Maclin, here is even more proof that the Eagles may have virtually found his clone -
Agholor made an impressive debut in the Eagles' preseason opening win against the Colts, taking the first pass he caught from Mark Sanchez for a 39-yard touchdown.
While it is just one game, many people are excited about the potential for this Eagles' offense. Chip Kelly is an offensive mastermind and knows how to utilize the players he has - which is why he slowly has built this offense to his liking.
Their focus will, of course, be the running game led by DeMarco Murray and Ryan Matthews. This will allow any receiver or tight end to get his share of wide-open looks in this offense, and Agholor has shown potential to take any of those to the house.
Uncertainty still runs wild for the Eagles entering 2015, but we could see a heavy dose of Nelson Agholor all over the field in Philly. The revamped Cowboys' secondary will have to be ready for week 2.
Let me know what you expect from Agholor or any of the rookies around the NFC East with a comment below or on Twitter @ShoreSportsNJ!

Cowboys en Español: Evaluando la Administración
Entre los aficionados de los Dallas Cowboys, pocas cosas son criticadas tan frecuentemente como la administración de la franquicia que no ha ganado ningún Super Bowl en más de dos décadas. Se ha convertido en un equipo que, a pesar de ser el más valioso en el mundo deportivo, no ha sido nada relevante en el emparrillado. Lo que alguna vez fue una dinastía se ha convertido en una unidad que rompe frecuentemente los corazones de los fans.
Jerry Jones y Stephen Jones, siendo los operadores del ámbito deportivo del negocio familiar, son criticados semana tras semana y en gran parte por justa razón. Pero en gran parte, por cosas no muy válidas.
Cambios de Coach
A mi parecer, lo más criticable para la administración de este equipo viene cuando hablamos de los coaches. Muchos se burlan de los Cincinnati Bengals y de la manera en la que están atascados con el Head Coach Marvin Lewis. Con Jason Garrett al volante, la situación para los Cowboys no es nada diferente.
A mediados de la temporada 2018, no parece que esta narrativa vaya a cambiar. Una vez más, los Cowboys arrancaron de una manera muy inconsistente y ya no sabemos que esperar de ellos. Gran parte de las derrotas, la mayor parte, es el coacheo.
Sin duda el equipo no será exactamente el mismo en 2019, pero ¿serán suficientes los cambios como para decidir quedarse con el mismo capitán que no ha podido mantener el barco navegando por años?
El Draft
A diferencia de como se manejan muchos equipos en la liga, los Jones fungen como general managers de su propio equipo. Con la ayuda de Will McClay han logrado superar varios de los fracasos de los Jones de antaño, pero actualmente, siendo sinceros no han hecho un mal trabajo.
A pesar de las critícas de Abril, Leighton Vander Esch está probando haber valido más que la pena. Siendo objetivos, aparte de Taco Charlton en el 2017, todas las selecciones de primera ronda de los Cowboys han sido valiosas. La línea ofensiva, el corredor, un cornerback que por fin se está perfilando como uno de los mejores en la liga.
En cuanto a la segunda ronda, ha habido varias críticas, muchas con razón. Pero el mejor caza cabezas del equipo, DeMarcus Lawrence, el linebacker Jaylon Smith, Randy Gregory y más están teniendo un impacto muy fuerte en el equipo.
Decisiones difíciles
La administración se ha visto en la necesidad de tomar decisiones bastante difíciles después de una temporada de nueve victorias en 2017. El LB Anthony Hitchens fue liberado, Dan Bailey se fue inesperadamente, se confió en Byron Jones para tomar su opción de quinto año.
Hasta ahora, pura decisión digna de aplaudirse. Pero ninguna como la más reciente de todas: Amari Cooper.
Por más caro que haya salido, los Cowboys merecen bastante crédito por haber mejorado muchísimo su posición de WR. Si el equipo llega a tener una oportunidad esta temporada, será en gran parte por él.
No cabe ninguna duda en mi cabeza de que los Jones han cometido errores a lo largo de los años, el más evidente siendo la resistencia de dejar ir a Jason Garrett. Pero a pesar de esto, la administración ha tomado excelentes decisiones y ha realizado el draft muy bien. En ese aspecto en específico, les aplaudo.

Sack Numbers Don't Tell DeMarcus Lawrence's 2018 Story
Coming off of a career year in 2017, many fans expected DeMarcus Lawrence to continue his ridiculous sack production this season. After all, he is once again in a "contract year" due to the franchise tag, and fans are hoping the Cowboys can secure him longterm this offseason.
Through the first four games of 2018, Lawrence looked as ridiculous and unstoppable as ever. He had 5.5 sacks, tied for the league lead, and was dictating the pass protection schemes of every offense the Cowboys were facing.
Since that hot start, though, DeMarcus Lawrence has recorded just 1 sack, falling behind some of the league leaders he was once ahead of. This has some people scratching their heads and wondering if Lawrence's career year in 2017 was just that, a career year. One which he will never replicate again, and one which the Cowboys should factor out when talking contract extensions.
Here's why those people are wrong.
Let's first talk about what makes DeMarcus Lawrence so good, and then we'll get into the full context of the Cowboys defense and how that explains some of the drop in sacks.
Lawrence, unlike some of the league's other top pass rushers, is a complete 4-3 defensive end. He is one of, if not the best run defending defensive ends in football, as shown by his 12 tackles for loss on the season (only Aaron Donald and Danielle Hunter have more).
Much of the year, the Cowboys run defense has boiled down to Lawrence making splash plays, as we saw against the Washington Redskins. Adrian Peterson was gashing the Cowboys during that game, and the only one who did anything to stop him was DeMarcus Lawrence, as indicated by his 3 tackles for loss that Sunday.
There's also the point that 6.5 sacks through half the season is, well, good. It's really good! And when you couple his sack numbers with his solid pressure and QB hit stats, you can see that Lawrence is having a very good season.
Then there is the context of this entire Cowboys defense, specifically their defensive line and pass rush. To put it bluntly, DeMarcus Lawrence has been their only consistent rusher this season. Though we came into the year with high hopes for Randy Gregory, and cautious optimism about first round pick Taco Charlton, neither have been all that impressive this season.
Somebody, anybody, has to step up and become a threat opposite of Lawrence. David Irving could help matters with his interior pass rush ability, but he has been unavailable for basically the entire season.
Without another pass rusher for offense's to even think twice about, Lawrence is getting double teamed and/or chipped by a tight end or running back on just about every rush. It's becoming rare that Lawrence is in a true one-on-one pass rush situation.
Of course, if you are elite, offenses are going to shift protections to you in this way and you still have to find ways to be productive.
And thus far in 2018, DeMarcus Lawrence is doing just that.

Can QB Dak Prescott Steal Back His Mojo From Atlanta?
When the Dallas Cowboys last traveled to Mercedes-Benz Stadium they were completely throttled by the Atlanta Falcons. It's a game a lot of Cowboys Nation would like to forget, but no one more so than Quarterback Dak Prescott. That game could very well be where his struggles really began.
It's almost exactly a year later and the Dallas Cowboys still find themselves haunted by that brutal beating the Atlanta Falcons handed them in Week 10 of the 2017 season. The Cowboys seemed to lose all confidence in themselves after that game, but it was almost as if it was the exact point in time where Dak Prescott lost all of his mojo as well.
Before that match up against the Falcons, Prescott was still playing at a pretty high level. But since then, he has been in a slump and there have been very few signs of recapturing any of that magic he once had. Heading back to Atlanta maybe the key for him finding and stealing back his mojo.
Things could definitely go a little differently this time around. The Cowboys will have Ezekiel Elliott and Tyron Smith in the lineup this week. Zeke missed the game last year due to the league mandated six-game suspension, and Tyron missed due to an injury. Having those two back in the lineup could pay huge dividends, especially for Prescott.
Without his starting left tackle and running back, Dak was pretty much beaten to a pulp by the Falcons defense a year ago. They applied relentless pressure, hitting and sacking him on a number of occasions. Unfortunately, I think that's where he started seeing ghost in the pocket and its haunted him ever since.
The beating he took at the hands of the Falcons has really thrown off his entire game. His mechanics, accuracy, and effectiveness as a scrambler can all be traced back to that one matchup. He just hasn't been the same QB he was prior to that game.
Prescott's stats prior to the Falcons game:
24 starts
66.7 completion percentage
102.4 passer rating
Prescott's stats since the Falcons game:
17 starts
63.3 completion percentage
83.1 passer rating
As you can see, that's a notable difference. His passer rating has shockingly dropped nearly 20 points since last playing the Falcons and it's really hurt the entire offensive production. It's time for that to change.
Prescott has no choice this week. He has to get back up on the horse that bucked him off and hopefully regain that mojo he left in Atlanta a year ago. Fortunately for him, his confidence might be is as high as it's been since that last meeting after pulling off the upset against the Philadelphia Eagles last week.
Now, he just has to go out and prove it!
Do you think Dak Prescott can regain his mojo against the Atlanta Falcons?

Unions suffer steep decline in membership
WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation's labor unions suffered sharp declines in membership last year, led by losses among public sector workers in cash-strapped states, cities, counties and towns.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics says the unionization rate fell from 11.8% to 11.3% of all workers, the lowest level since the 1930s.
Total union membership fell by about 400,000 workers to 14.4 million. Teachers unions were among the hardest hit, with the ranks of public school teachers and educators falling sharply.
Unions also saw losses in the private sector, even as the economy expanded modestly. The private sector unionization rate fell from 6.9% to 6.6%.
Unions have steadily lost members since their peak in the 1950s, when about one of every three workers was in a union.

BRYN MAWR, Pa. - October 12, 2012 --Police say a cleaning woman stole a $3 million bust of Benjamin Franklin from a suburban Philadelphia home because she had been fired and was angry at her boss.
Lower Merion Township police released details of an interview with 46-year-old Philadelphia resident Andrea Lawton during her preliminary hearing Thursday. They say she also had an accomplice in the Aug. 24 theft from the Bryn Mawr home.
According to police, Lawton says she stole the bust because she was told it was valuable and wanted to get her boss fired. She allegedly fled with the bust to a relative's home in Alabama before being arrested in September as she got off a bus in Elkton, Md.
Lawton was ordered to stand trial on burglary, theft and other charges. She's being held on $1 million bail.

Justin Upton has three homers in his first three games for Atlanta.
ATLANTA — Mike Minor had a 6.26 ERA during spring training. But in his first regular-season start, he looked just like the dominant pitcher who ended 2012.
"With spring training not going as well, I still had that confidence," Minor said. "I guess that was a big part of it tonight."
Minor pitched into the eighth inning and Justin Upton hit his third homer in four games to help the Atlanta Braves beat the Chicago Cubs 4-1 on Friday night.
Juan Francisco had a two-run single and Minor (1-0) won his first start of the season, allowing one run and five hits in 7 1-3 innings. He walked none and struck out seven.
Eric O'Flaherty got two outs in the eighth and Craig Kimbrel threw eight pitches in a perfect ninth for his second save.
Making his Cubs debut, Scott Feldman (0-1) threw two wild pitches, hit a batter and had a fielding error in the fourth when he missed the bag in an attempt to cover first base.
Feldman gave up four runs, five hits and four walks in 4 2-3 innings. He struck out one.
Upton's shot gave the Braves a 1-0 lead in the first. His sacrifice fly in the third drove in Andrelton Simmons to make it 2-0.
"It's even fun to see him hit in the cage," Simmons said. "You just watch and try to pick up stuff from him. He's really talented, and he has a nice swing. Everything is nice and smooth. He's going to do this all year."
Feldman could only blame himself for the second run. He issued a leadoff walk to Simmons, who stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch.
"I had a little trouble with my command tonight," Feldman said, "and they got into some deep counts and made me throw a lot of pitches."
Minor's one costly mistake came when Scott Hairston led off the fifth with a homer, his first, to make it 2-1.
Since the beginning of September last year, Minor is 5-0 with a 0.94 ERA in six starts. He also improved to 5-0 in five career starts against the Cubs.
The first month of the season had been a problem for Minor, drafted seventh overall in 2009. The left-hander began Friday with a 2-3 record and 5.35 career ERA in six April starts.
Minor rediscovered his command in the second half last year, however, and his 2.10 ERA since the All-Star break trails only teammate Kris Medlen and Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers for the best in the majors.
"I'm not going to say I'm going to have a game like this every time," Minor said. "But I had the confidence coming into the season that I was going to attack the hitters like I did last year and throw more breaking balls."
Francisco used an inside-out swing with one out in the fifth to drive the ball into left field for a two-run single that made it 4-1.
That hit chased Feldman, who threw balls on 49 of his 102 pitches. Michael Bowden ended the inning on rookie Evan Gattis' groundout.
Bowden faced the minimum over the next 2 1-3 innings. Hector Rondon faced four batters in the eighth.
Feldman, who spent his first eight seasons with Texas, is 0-6 with a 6.85 ERA over his last nine starts.
NOTES: New center fielder B.J. Upton reached base for the first time with the Braves when Feldman hit him with a pitch in the fifth. B.J. Upton, who is 0 for 14 with nine strikeouts this season, advanced to second on his first steal for Atlanta and scored on Francisco's single. ... Gattis went 3 for 4 and was the only player on either team with more than one hit. ... Cubs SS Starlin Castro appeared in his 200th consecutive game, the NL's longest active streak. ... Before the game, Cubs manager Dale Sveum said Braves GM Frank Wren came to his office and asked that he keep Chicago players off the field while Atlanta was still taking batting practice. Some of the Cubs' relievers were loosening up in left field with a few minutes left in the Braves' allotted practice time. Sveum said he quickly obliged. "Realistically, two teams can't be on the field at the same time, but obviously we all know at the end of (batting practice) that everybody always goes and throws and pretty much everybody's work is done," Sveum said. "The BP times got all goofed up, that's part of it. Why all that happened, anyway."

After doing things the same way for more than six decades, U.S. peanut producers can't learn in a single year all there is to know about their new marketing system. Moving from government quotas to a more market-oriented approach has created numerous opportunities and uncertainties.
Marketing alternatives now available to peanut growers include contracts, cash sales at harvest, cooperative marketing associations and the marketing loan program.
"We're in an entirely different situation now," says Tim Hewitt, University of Florida Extension economist. "We have to find out how this market works. Last year, no one knew what was going on. This year, we know more but still not enough. Things will change once we find out exactly what is going on."
The bottom line, says Hewitt, is that growers should be aiming for an option that will bring them more than the government support price. "When all is said and done, there's a good chance growers will see more than $450 per ton for their peanuts. I'm encouraging my growers to think in terms of between $450 and $500 per ton. They might even see more than $500 per ton," says Hewitt.
Growers, he says, should take a good, hard look at commercial contracts with shellers that'll bring some premium. "I'd advise them to see what they can work out with the shellers and look at any contracts that are above the support price. Some sheller contracts contain various stipulations, and growers should be aware of these," notes the economist.
Hewitt believes the initial USDA planting intentions report — showing Florida's peanut acreage increasing from 96,000 acres in 2002 to 110,000 acres this year — could be realized.
"We keep hearing stories about the large acreage increase in South Carolina, and I think we'll see an increase throughout the Florida peanut belt. And growers should keep a close watch on these acreage reports. Somewhere down the road, supply and demand issues are going to become the big factor. Contracts basically will be made on the needs of the shellers, and they'll be watching reports showing the supply we had the previous year, and what we have going into the current marketing year."
Another viable marketing option for peanut growers will be cooperatives, says Hewitt. "A cooperative is a good idea with this peanut program, and it obviously can offer some type of premium. If given the opportunity, a grower should consider the co-op option. Anything that'll give them a little extra edge will help. Many growers are standing back and watching how these first peanut co-ops perform for their grower members. We'll probably see more of them in the future."
The major differences between peanut contracts now and before 2002 are the delivery requirements and how the price is determined, says Nathan Smith, University of Georgia Extension economist.
There were two basic contracts last year, he explains, and they included harvest delivery and optional delivery or an "option-to-purchase" agreement.
"The type of delivery is important because it can affect eligibility for a loan deficiency payment (LDP). For a harvest delivery contract, the sheller takes ownership during delivery at harvest. To receive an LDP — if the National Posted Price is below $355 at harvest), a request must be made at the FSA office using form CCC-709 prior to harvest," he says.
The option-to-purchase contract, he continues, gives the sheller the option of when to take ownership of the peanuts. If the sheller decides to defer ownership at harvest, the producer enrolls the peanuts in the marketing loan and stores them in a CCC-approved warehouse. Then, the sheller will purchase the peanuts out of loan at a later date.
"Care must be taken that LDP or loan eligibility is protected when contracting," says Smith. "This means maintaining beneficial interest until the peanuts are sold. The FSA defines beneficial interest as retaining control, risk of loss and title to the commodity. Beneficial interest can be lost prior to delivery if one of these conditions is not met. So, it's important to have a clear interpretation from FSA on how the contract affects beneficial interest."
Recent contracts, he says, have tied price to the loan repayment rate, which is the National Posted Price. As long as eligibility is maintained for the loan program or LDP's, the producer is guaranteed a price equal to the loan rate or above the loan when a premium is included.
"For example, a contract with a $25-per-ton premium above the National Posted Price would assure the producer a price of $380 per ton ($355 loan rate plus $25 premium) provided beneficial interest was maintained until the peanuts were sold."
The total price received, he adds, is dependent on the adjustments made for grade. The grading procedures did not change in 2002, and the official weights and grades on the FSA 1007 are used to determine total dollars per-ton received. For contracts, shellers either may use their own or the FSA loan discounts and premiums for different grades.
An important factor to consider in pricing is how shrink is handled, says Smith. "Shrink of about 3.5 percent is automatically deducted from peanuts in the loan where as it can be treated differently with contracts, such as using the total weight from the FSA-1007. Another factor to consider is how much of your total production you want to lock in a price if you have peanut base.
"Prices at harvest and later in the marketing year could rise, thereby lowering the counter-cyclical payment. To offset a lower counter-cyclical payment, you'll need to have peanuts to sell at the higher price."

I've done some editing on the Tenderfoot and Second Class requirements, eliminating the additional numerical entries on requirements (i.e. 7 a., b., c., etc. instead of 7.a., 7.b. 7.c., etc.). Does this make it easier or harder to read?

'Rock My RV' Amps Up Couple's Aging Camper
June 7, 2013 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on 'Rock My RV' Amps Up Couple's Aging Camper
Bill and Sally Layton have a rockin' RV. Their 1974 bright yellow GMC jalopy has been tricked out by rock-n-roller Bret Michaels, who worked his magic on the worn-out rig for the television show "Rock My RV with Bret Michaels."
"Do you trust me?" Michaels said to the Laytons as they drove their aging camper van into a body shop in Southern California. "Then, hand over those keys."
The Colorado Springs Gazette reported that the local couple had no idea what to expect. They just knew that their beast of a ride needed a new look. The revamped Layton RV will be revealed at 7 p.m. June 16 on the Travel Channel.
Michaels, who is best known as the front man for the rock band Poison, spends about nine months a year touring in his RV and estimates he's logged more than 3 million miles in his home on wheels.
He customized his own RV with some over-the-top amenities and felt others should have a similar ride. He teamed with the Travel Channel for a 16-show series that overhauls RVs arguably ready for the junkyard and dresses them up with such things as flat screen TVs, gaming stations, flip-out barbecue grills and rooftop decks.
"It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities," Sally said. "We thought when will we have another chance like this? Let's just go for it."

Thailand, once known as Siam, is a tropical climate with a distinct wet season (summer) and an equally distinct dry season (winter). This is because Thailand, like most of Asia, is influenced by the Asian monsoon winds.
The wet season runs from May to October when the southwest monsoon is carrying moisture from the Indian Ocean. This period is generally cloudy, very warm and humid with frequent showers. There are two precipitation maxima in Bangkok. The first is in May at the onset of the wet monsoon. The second, even greater rainfall peak, is in September to early October when tropical disturbances are most prevalent.
The months from November to April are much drier as this is when the drier northeast monsoon winds blow. Rain is usually confined to a few days per month and falls mainly in the south, where the northeast winds can pick up moisture from the Gulf of Siam. Most days are sunny as well as dry, making the winter the best time of year for travelers to enjoy the sights of this beautiful land.
Typical of most tropical climates, there is little variation in temperature month-to-month, except in the north, where winters are cooler. March, April and May tend to be the warmest months because the sun is becoming more intense while the southwest monsoon, with it clouds and rain, has not yet developed.

Mazda 626 Head Gasket Replacement Cost
Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.
What is a head gasket?
The head gasket is a single, or multiple layer, durable material, that is responsible for maintaining a seal between the engine block and cylinder head. It prevents engine oil, engine coolant, and combustion gases from escaping the engine.
How does the head gasket work?
Most engines are constructed of two major components, the engine cylinder block, and engine cylinder head. These two halves must seal to one another, and act as one piece, or the engine will fail. The head gasket is a sealing layer of durable material that is sandwiched between the cylinder head and cylinder block. When tightened down, the cylinder head crushes the head gasket into the cylinder block, causing any imperfections to be sealed by force.
Find a Certified Mechanic
What are the symptoms related to a bad head gasket?
Driveability issues become more apparent and more abundant as head gasket leaks becomes greater. Head gaskets do completely fail all at once, but the majority of cases will offer some hints to failure.
When the head gasket begins to fail, The engine may have no symptoms at all. Symptoms only begin to occur when the leak has reached an engine oil passage, engine coolant passage, or the engine cylinder. Once the leak has reached one or more of these critical areas, the engine will react in one of a few ways.
The engine may become very difficult to start, and run roughly when idling. There may be engine oil or engine coolant leaking, and the engine may begin to overheat, or run warm. At this point, there may be coolant in the engine oil pan, that looks creamy and lighter in color than the oil. Also, the radiator or engine coolant reservoir may have a gurgling sound, the presence engine oil, or smell of combustion.
The engine, in this situation, will have the check engine light on, and the on-board-diagnostics (OBD) trouble codes stored will be in reference to engine misfires, knock sensor, manifold pressure, mass air flow, air/fuel mixture, exhaust and emissions, engine cooling, and catalyst inefficiency. Finally, when the head gasket fails completely, the engine will overheat within minutes of starting, then the engine will stall and fail to restart. While it is still running, the coolant being burned in the engine will produce white exhaust, that smells sweet like engine coolant.
Can I drive with a head gasket problem?
Driving with a failing, or completely failed head gasket is hazardous to the engine, if not impossible. In the early stages of head gasket failure, the engine is already at high risk for failure, especially with the light casting materials used in today's modern engines. Overheating is normally associated with blown head gaskets, but the cylinder head and engine block can fail nearly as easily, and do fail in many cases. Driving the vehicle when a known head gasket issue is present can or will result in head gasket failure, cylinder head failure, engine block failure, or a combination of the three. Blown head gasket, or leaking head gasket should both be taken to a repair facility being towed, or hauled.
How often do head gaskets need to be replaced?
Head gaskets can fail at any time, but most technicians would expect the head gasket to last at least 100,000 miles, especially if the engine oil and engine coolant are properly maintained. When considering preventative, or prolonging measures, it is important to understand that the head gasket seals against engine coolant leaks, engine oil leaks, and engine combustion leaks. This puts the gasket into contact with fuel, air, engine oil, engine coolant, and high pressure fire. In order to keep this gasket in good condition, dirty or contaminated fluids should be replaced on schedule, and the engine must run at the proper temperature. This is the best way to help prevent head gasket failure, besides avoiding aggressive driving.
Related Mazda 626 Estimates
How are head gasket issues diagnosed?
When diagnosing a check engine light in conjunction with overheating, the servicing technician will connect a professional scan tool or computer to the vehicle via the on-board diagnostics (OBD) port under the dashboard. Reading information stored by the vehicles computer, and comparing that data to actual conditions will lead the technician to components which he may suspect of failure in short order. This may require mechanical and electrical testing, and will typically take about an hour to prove a guaranteed diagnosis and solution. In general, there are a few signs that will immediately cause a technician to diagnose the cylinder head gasket of failure. When engine oil is found in the engine coolant reservoir or radiator, engine coolant is found on the engine oil dipstick, the head gasket is leaking coolant or oil, or a compression test releases air from the engine cooling system, the technician will diagnose the engine with an internal leak. However, keep in mind that the technician cannot determine if the cylinder head has failed without the use of testing equipment, and the machine shop used will determine if the cylinder head is flat and intact. The technician will provide a report from the machine shop, and discuss whether or not the cylinder head must be replaced. If there is no error within the cylinder head, and the location of head gasket failure cannot be determined, the technician may recommend testing the engine block as well. This is a worst-case scenario, and not very common.
Head Gasket Replacement Cost Estimates
The average cost for a Head Gasket Replacement is between $855 and $1219 but can vary from car to car.
How is a head gasket replaced?
Replacing the head gasket and the cylinder head is the some task whether the cylinder head is replaced, or not. The technician must begin by draining all engine fluids, and possibly some accessory systems like the air conditioner or power steering. In some vehicles, the bumper must be removed at this point, with the radiator, air conditioning condenser, and associated fans and hardware attached. The accessories must be removed from the front of the engine, followed by the timing cover, valve cover, timing components, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, and anything obstructing the cylinder head from removal. Lastly, the cylinder head bolts will be removed, in sequence, and the cylinder head can be lifted off, and sent for cleaning, milling, and testing. The engine block-to-head gasket mating surface will be cleaned, and the head gasket will be inspected to identify failure points that will be scrutinized by the technician. Once the components are clean and ready for assembly, the new head gasket is set in place, the cylinder head set on top, and the new cylinder head bolts lubricated, installed, and tightened according to manufacturer specified torque. All other removed components will be installed, and replaced if necessary. The timing components must be installed, and replacement may be recommended. Once the vehicle has been reconstructed, the technician will fill, bleed of air, and test each system to ensure the customer's complaint does not return.
RepairPal Recommendations for head gasket issues
Head gasket additives that claim to stop leaks or reseal the head gasket from the engine coolant passages are dangerous for engines, and can cause overheating when the radiator becomes clogged, or the water pump blades erode from constant particulate contact.
What to look out for when dealing with head gasket issues
Head gasket replacement means replacement or removal of many components, and the condition of the engine will be well established. If many components are recommended for replacement, or an engine rebuild or replacement is necessary, consider the cost of rebuilding versus replacing. The cost of rebuilding or replacing an engine is influenced by engine type and manufacturer. In many cases, replacement is the more cost effective route, but high performance, or luxury vehicle engines can easily cost over ten thousand dollars. Also, head gasket materials and thickness vary, and the OEM may update their design. Before purchasing parts, the latest part number should be purchased, and the quality should be guaranteed to meet or exceed OEM standards.
Can I replace the head gasket myself?
This is not recommended as a DIY project. Especially for the beginner or novice, this repair can easily turn into a non-operational vehicle, and a shelf full of car parts. Also, there are many factors to consider while repairing a head gasket. The engine cooling system, engine lubrication system, fuel and air systems, exhaust system, ignition system, engine timing components, and internal engine components must be understood, and properly deconstructed, serviced, and reconstructed. Very experienced DIYers may be able to accomplish this task, but if you have never completed this repair, or if you have questions, get some help before beginning.
