BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Many times drivers inadvertently leave their automobile headlights switched on when they leave the vehicle. Because the headlights are connected directly to the battery independently of the ignition switch, the power in the battery is expended if the automobile is unattended for any substantial period of time. This causes the driver to beunable to start the vehicle upon his return thereby necessitating expenses in starting the vehicle from an outside power source and recharging the battery. Some automotive manufacturers are adding an automatic headlight switch circuit which disables the headlights a predetermined period of time after the ignition switch has been turned off, however, such circuits are relatively expensive and are available on only a relatively few vehicles. While a few separately manufactured warning systems are available, such systems are generally expensive to manufacture and complicated in construction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION These and other problems and disadvantages are overcome by the invention disclosed herein by providing an alarm which notifies the driver of a vehicle when the headlights are inadvertently switched on, which is inexpensive, which can be easily installed on the vehicle without any tools by the owner, and which does not affect the operation of the original circuitry associated with the headlights of the vehicle. Moreover, the invention. can be easily installed on the vehicle even after the original manufacture thereof without affecting the operation of the existing circuitry of the vehicle.
The apparatus of the invention includes a buzzer unit having an electromagnetic coil and -a buzzer switch whose norm ally closed contacts are opened in response to the coil being energized. The hot side of the coil is connected to one of the contacts and the ground side of the coil is connected directly to the vehicle ground. The hot side of the coil is also connected to the vehicle battery through the ignition switch in a first circuit in parallel with the contact on the buzzer switch. The other contact of the buzzer switch is connected to the vehicle battery through the headlight switch in a second circuit. The current limiting device is connected between the first and second circuits through the buzzer switch to limit the current flow from the first circuit to the second circuit. Thus, the buzzer unit will not emit a signal when the ignition switch is closed regardless of whether the headlight switch is closed, but will emit a signal when the ignition switch is open and the headlight switch is closed.
These and other features and advantages of the invention disclosed herein will becomemore fully understood upon consideration of the following specification and accompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views and in which:
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. I is an electrical schematic diagram of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a buzzer unit for the invention;
FIG. 3 is a typical operating voltage diagram for the buzzer unit;
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the operation of the invention; and,
FIG. 5 is an electrical schematic diagram for an alternate embodiment of the invention.
These figures and the following detailed description disclose specific embodiments of the invention, however, the inventive concept is not limited thereto since it may be embodied in other forms.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS Referring to the drawings, it will be seen that the invention makes use of the existing battery B, ignition switch I and headlight switch H of a vehicle. The invention may also use the existing fuse block F and headlight dimmer switch D as convenient connection points.
Referring now to FIG. 1, it will be seen that the invention includes a buzzer unit 10 and a current limiting device 11. The buzzer unit 10 as seen in FIG. 2 includes an electromagnetic coil 12 which operates a switch 14 having normally closed contacts 15. Both coil 12 and switch 14 are mounted in frame 13. A ferromagnetic member 16 is operatively connected to the contacts 15 and operatively associated with coil 12 so that when the coil 12 is energized, the member 16 will be magnetically drawn toward the coil to open contacts 15. The switch 14 is serially connected to coil 12 so that when a voltage is applied to the coil 12 sufficient to open switch 14, the coil 12 will be rapidly energized and deenergized. The striking of the member 16 against the end of core 18in coil 12 causes the audible buzzing signal to be emitted.
The hysteresis of the ferromagnetic core 18 is such that a higher voltage is required to open contacts 15 than to release the contacts so that they close. Reference to FIG. 3 shows the characteristics involved. Because the number of turns and length of conductor are known from the coil and since the current through the coil varies directly with the voltage, the magnetic flux density in the core 18 varies with voltage as seen in FIG. 3. Thus, during magnetization of core 18, the flux density in the core is indicated by the right hand curve in FIG. 3 while the flux density in the core during demagnetization is indicated by the left hand curve in FIG. 3. The flux density level necessary to operate the switch 14 is shown by the line labelled B By following the magnetization curve, it will be seen that a voltage V is required to reach a sufficient flux density level to operate the switch 14. On the other hand, it will be seen from following the demagnetization curve that a lower voltage V must be reached before the flux density level drops below that necessary to maintain the switch open. The invention takes advantage of this feature in its operation.
The hot side of the coil 12 is connected to the contact 15,, while its ground side is connected to the vehicle ground as seen in FIG. 1. The current limiting device 11 shown in FIG. 1 is a resistor 20. The resistor 20 is connected to the common point between the hot side of the coil 12 and the contact15,,.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a representative existing fuse block F is illustrated. The block F includes a mounting base B onto which a series of pairsof spring I contacts C,.- are positioned. One contact C of each pair is connected to the vehicle batteryBT through the ignition switch I via a common bus BU Fuses F are slipped into position between the contacts C to fuse equipment E individually connected to the other contacts C This allows the equipment E to be operated only while the ignition switch I is closed.
The other side of resistor 20 is connected through wire w to any of contacts C that are connected to the battery BT through ignition switch I. Thus, when the switch I is closed, the battery voltage will be imposed on resistor 20.
A representative existing, foot-operated dimmer switch D is also illustrated in FIG. 1. Switch D has three blade type terminals T T and T The middle terminal T is normally the common terminal which is connected to the battery BT through the headlight switch H. The side terminals T and T are normally connected to the high and low beam inputs respectively of the headlights L. Switch D is effective in a first condition to connect terminal T with terminal T and effective in a second condition to connect terminal T with terminal T The other contact 15 is connected to the terminal T through wire w so that when the headlight switch H is closed, the voltage of battery BT will be imposed on the contact 15,,. Thus, when the ignition switch I is closed, a voltage V, from battery BT will be imposed at the common point P between coil 12 and contact 15,, while the full battery voltage will be imposed on contact 15,, when the headlight switch I is closed.
In operation, it will be seen that closing ignition switch I will impose voltage V at point P Because the resistance of the headlights L is very low, the resistor 20 serves to limit the voltage at point P sufficiently so that the current flow through the headlights L is below that necessary to illuminate the headlights. This also imposes the voltage V across coil 12 but this voltage is considerably lower than that necessary to operate the coil as seen in FIG. 4. When the headlight switch H is closed, the battery voltage is imposed on contact 15,, Since the switch 14 is normally closed, the battery voltage is imposed across coil 12 to cause it to operate switch 14 to open contacts 15,, and 15,,. This disconnects the voltage from the battery BT through headlight switch H from coil 12, however, the voltage V at point P is now imposed across coil 12. Because voltage V is above the release voltage V for the coil 12, the coil 12 continues to hold the switch 14 open to prevent the buzzer unit from emitting an audible buzzing signal. When the ignition switch I is opened, while the headlight switch H remains closed, the voltage V is removed from the coil 12. This allows the switch 14 to close and the buzzer unit 10 to emit the audible buzzing signal in its normal operation. The resistor serves to limit the current flow from the fuse block F throughthe headlights L when the ignition switch I is closed and the headlight switch H is open to prevent the fuse F through which the point P is connected to the first circuit from being blown, especially if the coil 12 is not properly grounded.
The value ofthe resistor 20 is selected so that the current flow through the headlight circuit from the fuse block F is within the current capability of the fuse F,- and so that the voltage V,, imposed across the coil 12 is greater than the voltage V below which the coil 12 releases the switch 14 when the switch 14 is open. Preferrably the valve of resistor 20 should be one to three times the resistance of coil 12. One valve that has been found satisfactory is twice the resistance of coil 12.
An alternate embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 5. Those components common to the first embodiment have like characters of reference applied thereto. The current limiting means 11 seen in FIG. 5 is a diode 30 connected between the contact 15,, and the dimmer switch D. The diode 30 diode arranged so that current is allowed to flow from switch D to contact 15 but not from contact 15;, to switch D. Thus, an overload on the fuse F,- is prevented while switch 14 is closed.
It will be noted in operation that closing the ignition switch I causes the coil 12 to be energized to open switch 14 and maintain it open until the ignition switch is opened. If the headlight switch H is closed when the ignition switch I is open, the diode 30 allows current to flow through switch 14 and coil 12 to operate the buzzer unit 10 to emit an audible warning signal.
While specific embodiments of the invention have been disclosed herein, it is to be understood that full use may be made of modifications, substitutions and equivalents without departing from the scope of the invention.
I claim:
1. A headlight warning system for use on a vehicle having a first circuit connected to the vehicle battery by an ignition switch and a second circuit connected to the vehicle battery through a headlight switch independently of the ignition switch for controlling the operation of the headlights, said system comprising:
buzzer means for generating an audible warning signal upon receipt of a prescribed electrical signal, said buzzer means including an electromagnetic coil and a magnetically responsive switch operatively associated ,with said coil, said switch having a pair of normally closed contacts opened when a voltage greater than a first prescribed value less than the vehicle battery voltage is imposed on said coil and released to reclose when the voltage imposed on said coil falls below a second prescribed value less than said first prescribed value, one 'side of said coil electrically connected to one of said pair of contacts and the other side of said coil electrically grounded, the other of said contacts electrically connected to said second circuit so that the vehicle battery voltage is imposed on said other of said pair of contacts when the headlight switch is closed; and,
a resistor electrically connecting the common point between said coil and said one of said contacts to said first circuit so that voltage is supplied tosaid common pointthrough said resistor when theignition switch is closed, said resistor having a predetermined electrical resistance value such that a voltage having a-third prescribed value greater than said second prescribed value and less than said first prescribed value is imposed on said coil from the vehicle battery through said first circuit when the ignition switch isclosed.
said predetermined electrical resistance value of said resistor is twice the electrical resistance value of said electromagnetic coil.

New 3D NAND flash memory from Intel, Micron could result in 10-terabyte SSDs
The two companies claim their new technology offers up to three times the density of other 3D NAND competitors, with full production ramping up later this year.
John Morris and Sean Portnoy deliver straight talk about notebook and desktop computers.
Sean Portnoy started his tech writing career at ZDNet nearly a decade ago. He then spent several years as an editor at Computer Shopper magazine, most recently serving as online executive editor. He received a B.A. from Brown University and an M.A. from the University of Southern California.

John Morris is a former executive editor at CNET Networks and senior editor at PC Magazine. He now works for a private investment firm, which may at any time invest in companies whose products are discussed in this blog, and no disclosure of securities transactions will be made. No investment advice is offered in this blog. All duties are disclaimed.

The two companies claim their new technology offers up to three times the density of other 3D NAND competitors, with full production ramping up later this year.
Intel has revealed new details of its second-generation Xeon Phi processor and given the first public demonstration. The chip, known as Knights Landing, is big in every way.
After cutting prices last month, the company is now offering either $100 or $150 off most configurations. The price on the base model remains unchanged, however.
The fledgling company will give you its productivity focused slate at any of its crowd-funded reward levels -- if you agree to be a beta tester for its Remix OS software.
Blackberry is back in the tablet game, with a model based on the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and optimized to run SecuSuite software.
The company's recent results suggest a slowdown in firms leaving the ancient OS behind and upgrading to new systems. Why won't they update?
Benchmarks support Apple's claims the new Samsung drives, also included in the redesigned MacBook, were twice as fast as their predecessors. The updated notebooks remain difficult to repair, however.
The 10-inch slate is built with components the user can swap out and can run Android or other Linux-based operating systems.
The new processor will also be unlocked, making it easier to overclock small-form-factor desktops and all-in-one PCs.
Both models include a fourth-generation Intel Core processor, with prices of $349.99 and $399.99, respectively.
The long-delayed gaming PCs will finally battle consoles for living room supremacy, with a $50 Steam Controller also available.
After announcing new brand levels, the company provides more details about the first chips that will fall under each category.
The x3, x5, and x7 labels will mirror the i3, i5, and i7 designations for the company's Core CPUs, which it says will help consumers differentiate between chip capabilities more easily.
At ISSCC this week, Intel says it is business as usual, but rising costs have left the rest of the chip industry looking for something more than Moore.
Discounts on the tablet have been extended through the end of February, while trading in an old Surface can get you as much as $650 toward a new Surface Pro 3.

I just returned from The Natural Beauty Summit. Despite what the name suggests, this is not a meeting of natural beauties – in most cases. The Natural Beauty Summit is an annual meeting of the leaders of the Natural Cosmetics Industry and a platform to exchange ideas that further the cause of natural products. A lot of what is discussed at this meeting will directly affect consumers (you!) in the coming months and years, so I find it appropriate to update you on some of the issues we are currently struggling with.
The main problem that all the "real" natural brands, such as us, are struggling with is how to differentiate ourselves from the "pretend" natural brands. Unlike the term "organic", the term "natural" is not protected. So conceivably a company could produce a product that is completely made of petrochemicals, put a minute amount of any natural substance in it, print a nice green leaf or some flowers on the packaging and call it "natural". Check your local drugstore shelves. This happens all the time. To protect ourselves from such abuse, the natural manufacturers have come together to create a set of strict rules and certification processes. Products that fulfill these requirements will carry a seal, and the idea is that the consumer will recognize products that carry this seal as legitimately natural products.
So much for the theory. As to be expected, it is not easy to find common ground among all the brands and stakeholders involved. Some brands, like us, push for stricter standards, others are interested to have a broader definition of what "natural" means. The situation is complicated even further by regional interests: Just as these new standards are evolving in the US, new standards are coming from Europe that also have the ambition to be recognized internationally.
The result is that there will be a number of natural standards on the market that could potentially confuse consumers more than help them. Believe me, this is just as confusing for us as it is for you. As a manufacturer, we have to decide which of these standards we will support. If it is a strict standard, we can differentiate ourselves better from brands of lesser quality. The downside is that by definition, a stricter standard will not be as widespread and therefore not be as recognizable to consumers. If we follow a very lenient standard, the number of brands that will be able to achieve this standard will be so big, that we will put ourselves on the same level as brands with much lower quality standards.
Weleda is therefore actively working on a convergence of these standards. What exactly the end result of this will be, nobody can say for sure yet. As an international brand, we are very interested in having one global standard that is recognized everywhere. This week's summit has shown that we are on the right track. The most likely dominant standard in Europe (NaTrue) is working on mutual recognition with some of the new standards here in North America (NSF, NPA). We are hoping to have our first products certified by both NaTrue and NSF within the next months. You can always check on this website for the seals (http://usa.weleda.com/cultivating-beauty/our-standards.aspx) you should be looking for when buying natural products, so you can be sure that you are buying a truly natural product and are not taken for a ride by a company that is just trying to cash in on the natural hype.

Amazing!!! I have dry skin overall, but am oily in my T zone sometimes. I have a little eczema on my face and am getting older, so I have those trouble spots - you know what I'm talking about if you're older. I am in love with this product, it's the first time I have found something that actually feels like it deeply and truly revitalizing my skin. It smoothes things out and if I decide not to wear makeup on the weekend and put this on after my shower, my face looks like it's glowing (and stays soft all day). It is seriously refreshing to have found this.I have been using it about 3 times a week and it's a miracle for me this winter. Don't ever get rid of this product, please!!!
My first time to try this product. Highly recommended by my cousin who's skin looks stunning even without any makeup.
I just started using the White Mallow facial cream (baby derma) on my adult skin, and I can't thank you enough for this product. I have sensitive and very dry skin, on top of living in Minnesota which has one of the coldest driest and longest winters in the country. Since using the White Mallow facial cream, my skin has felt soft and moisturized all day, and I only need to apply the cream once a day, which is unheard of for me in the winter; usually I need to re-apply a few times. This is remarkable given that I spend a lot of time in the cold winter windchill, as I bus all over the city every day. All that AND the cream is fragrance free, which is a must with my sensitive skin. My skin also looks so much healthier, and I have fewer blemishes. Prior to this, I had used the same facial lotion for a year, and while it moisturized well, it made my skin look red and very dull for some reason. I wish I had tried this Weleda product much sooner. It's so uplifting to see that my facial skin looks healthy again and that it even can look healthy in the winter even despite the dry weather. I hope Weleda continues this specific product for a LONG time! Thank you!

Chocolate dipped graham crackers for dessert bar
What a cute idea! Have graham crackers previously dipped in chocolate (maybe just on one side) to make smore's bar easier. Great late night appetizers for a winter wedding and could go well with popcorn or something else inexpensive to save on cash. Get a friend in charge of setting it up, and it's easy to get it together for a DIY project well in advance before the wedding.

As some of you may know, I recently found a two year old dunkelweisen that I forgot about in the secondary. It tasted terrible, so it was thrown out. However, I'm back to brewing! I've only done three extracts before, and only two of them were ever bottled, so I'm very much a newbie at this. However, right before I took my hiatus from homebrewing (so soon after starting too ) I had built a mash tun in preparation to start all-grain. Life got in the way, so I never did get started though. Yesterday a new 60 qt brew kettle came in the mail, and this morning I picked up grains from the local store!
Right now my grains have been in the mash tun for about 40 minutes. I'll begin sparging in 20 minutes. So far the biggest difference between extract and all-grain is that all-grain is boring!!! Haha, actually, I should have saved a lot of the cleaning/preparation for after I started the mash instead of before I got started with the whole process.
Since I'm bored and rambling on though, I might as well ask a question. How long does your entire sparge process take? I'm doing a 5 gallon batch. I've watched a few YouTube videos, and it seems like some just open the valve and let it drain as fast as gravity will let it, while others take their time and have the wort seep out.
My setup (the kettle is just outside on a propane turkey fryer since I'm in my basement):
He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire. -Winston Churchill
It's my understanding that you should drain slowly to avoid a stuck sparge.
Welcome back. The sparge process time depends on how you are doing it. I am assuming you are batch sparging,if that is correct you drain your mash being sure to vorlauf to catch any grain,pour in your sparge water,stir it up good,let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes(or how long recipe says),vorlauf to catch any possible grains then open the drain valve wide open. If you are fly sparging you drain the mash the same way then slow start the spage until you have about 2 inches of water above the grains(I think that is the correct amount I batch sparge),then vorlauf and open valve to match outgoing flowrate to match incoming flowrate.
Thanks guys. I ended up taking about an hour and fifteen minutes to sparge. The recipe I used didn't specify whether to do batch or fly sparging, so I did fly.
I found a recipe online and used that. As I went through the process, I found several mistakes and areas of ambiguity. I think I should have done my first all-grain with a kit rather than a random internet recipe. I think I might order a kit or two for my next ones. Then once I get a better idea of what I'm doing then move onto internet recipes and maybe eventually my own recipes.
I had always pictured all-grain brewing being so much more complicated than extract. Though, it really wasn't all that difficult at all. It was, however, VERY time consuming! It took me almost 7 hours from the start of sanitizing equipment until I had the wort in the primary fermenter. Having now done this once, I can see where I can easily cut off over an hour, but it's still much longer than the extracts I had done before.
I shouldn't have started this at 10pm. I didn't crawl into bed until about 5am!
What did you end up brewing?
I determined my mash efficiency to be a measly 49%. When I determined my mash efficiency, I used the specific gravity I took from the wort right before I put it in the primary fermenter and the volume I used was the final volume that was in the primary. Is that the correct specific gravity and volume to use? Or should I have used the specific gravity of the wort prior to boiling and the volume of the wort I collected after sparging?
The more I read up on sparging and mashing, the more mistakes I realized I made, so my low efficiency isn't surprising. I'm hopeful that I will increase my efficiency quite a bit on my next brew.
Also, at what efficiency are most recipes designed for?

Mothercare Urban Detour Xtreme
- Mumsnet Reviews

Your Reviews
"A little car of mine…"
I bought Urban Detour Xtreme from Mothercare in Summer 2007 a few months before my daughter's birth and the same pushchair served to my son 4 years later.
I find it absolutely comfortable for long walks while I can keep all necessary stuff eg. clothes, food, even heavy shopping bags on its shopping basket. You don't really feel its heaviness. After my son's birth my daughter started sitting in front of the pushchair which was designed for placing the feet, hence there was no need to buy a stroller wheel board.
However, there is only one disadvantage I need to mention: it is a little heavier than regular pushchairs I have seen. But I never realised that Urban Detour Xtreme could remain in our house for so long. My little one is turning 4 soon, so I was going to sell it, but my husband is asking to keep it for our third on. I am not pregnant yet, but I am sure it can help me with my third one without any problem.Read moreLess

"Thought I'd review this pushchair as I have had it…"
Thought I'd review this pushchair as I have had it for 9 months now and have really loved it. I actually bought mine second hand on ebay (I think there are still lots around) and mothercare still do a version of it which is called the 'xtreme' and is pretty much the same as the urban detour. First and foremost I didn't see ONE other pushchair near me that coped with the snow we had this winter just gone - the urban detour was amazing! The front wheel cut through the snow and was steady on the ice so I was out and about every day.
Love about this pushchair;
*large front wheel great for uneven ground (surprising how bad some pavements can be!)
*large and robust - I have bashed this pushchair around lots and it is not showing any signs of giving up!
*easily manoevrable despite size
*air filled tyres give a smooth ride over all the cobbles where I live!
*easy to collapse and fold
*big shopping basket - I am constantly amazed by how much I can fit in it!
*My little one seems very cosy in it!
*My little one loves holding onto the bar at the front
*all in all good value robust product
Little niggles
*doesn't lie completely flat
*seat recline is adjusted by a clip which isn't ideal but works fine
*it is heavy to lift when folded - I can manage fine but I am used to lifting my mum's wheelchair so doesn't feel like a big deal (might be an issue if you live upstairs)
*raincover is bulky (can ones that fold smaller online I think)
*face forward only (don't think my little one minds!)
I would happily recommend this pushchair as a good value alternative to some of the much more pricey 3 wheelers on the market.Read moreLess

"This is a brilliant buggy - I had a c-sec…"
This is a brilliant buggy - I had a c-sec and couldn't push shopping trolleys and most buggies but this one, although it's rather large, just glides along. It's so easy to push and very maneuverable even in tight spaces. I've taken it running across grass and along the Cotswold Way and it's not had a problem with any bumps/ruts and my daughter doesn't get shaken about too much. The only downside is that it takes up a LOT of boot space and is quite heavy to lift so it's not best for use on public transport. I would recommend this though as a very dependable buggy.Read moreLess

I had this for DS from birth and loved it to push; very easy and manouverable. Easy to fold (genuine one hand fold system!) and comes with everythign you need - no extra costs for cosytoes, etc. Downside: couldn't lift it into the boot of my car for the first couple of months (had emergency c-section!) and it is awkward on public transport, plus the innertubes, if they need replacing, costRead moreLess

"I have the Sahara version which we bought about 18mths…"
I have the Sahara version which we bought about 18mths ago when no1 was on the way. Although overall I have been very pleased with it, a couple of problems have arisen as no1 has got bigger - he was already too big for the cosytoes by the time it really got cold last winter and that was only at 9mths old and he doesn't like it as much as our small stroller as he doesn't sit very upright even with the seat and vertical as it will go. Also you have to put the seat back down when you fold the buggy up. One thing that convinced us about the buggy was it is a travel system and being able to take him from the car in the carseat without disturbing him - never worked - the car engine turning off always woke him up, even now, so i would probably have been better to get a separate car seat that didn't have the car seatbelt going over baby.
Final point this model came with a bag - a rucksack would have been better as I was always running out of space to store the shopping.Read moreLess

"Very easy to put up & fold. Good colour-especially when…"
Very easy to put up & fold. Good colour-especially when ground is muddy! Bad a LITTLE on the small size, but we managed & still managing 2.5 yrs later! Four downsides: Not good on rougher terrain, rain cover tears easily-considering it's hardly been used in 2.5 yrs, it looks a lot older than it is! Thirdly it's hard to find a sunshade for it! Fouthly: it's very bulky, in a Saxo, the WHOLE of the boot's taken & in a Volvo S40 saloon three qrts of the boot's taken! But for a complete travel system for first time parent, it's very good value for money. Hardly ANY punctures at all, and it's ravelled around the reservoirs loads of times!Read moreLess

I love our Urban Detour - I am starting to think it is indestructible! Its been up hills, down muddy tracks and across a beach. I hardly use the car as we are walking distance from our local town centre so it is ideal for me. It is dead easy to steer and turns on a sixpence. Shopping basket is small though but thats probably my only gripe. And it does take up a lot of boot space.Read moreLess

"I really like this pushchair, although was miffed when just…"
I really like this pushchair, although was miffed when just after dd was born they brought out a carrycot to go with it..
Anyway, although it is quite big and heavy, I found that this made for easy pushing and a comfortable ride. It is still really spacious and dd is now 20 mths or so. My one gripe would be the raincover with an odd window that can let rain in, particularly if it is pouring, perhaps ventilation holes would have been better.
It is big and heavy as I said, but as I don't have a car getting it in and out of the boot hasn't been an issue for me, although I imagine it would be for some.Read moreLess
"Deserves it's top score! Excellent value for money with so…"
Deserves it's top score! Excellent value for money with so many useful accessories - car seat, change bag with mat, cosytoes, newborn support and weathershield. Light as a feather to push, turns on the spot, good off road, car seat easy to fix on pushchair and in car, and it does look good. Most of the hoods etc come away to open it right up in summer. Car seat is obviously really comfy as our little'un nods right off in it. Only minor criticism is it does weigh a ton and won't fit in small cars, but that's what you get for a big, chunky, tough travel system!Read moreLess

"Really great until baby gets to 12 months or so…"
Really great until baby gets to 12 months or so then you need something more lightweight. Good investment as car seat lasts well and shopping is a doddle with so much space for bags. Our front wheel went a bit funny within the first six months and was a hassle to get fixed. The extras which come as standard are excellent e.g. rain cover, cosytoes etc. Really good for young bubbas, with a carless Mummy.Read moreLess

"F***ing brilliant! SO glad I bought it! You can push…"
F***ing brilliant! SO glad I bought it! You can push it anywhere, through woods, on the beach, bumpy tracks etc and it's very smooth. I got the one with fleece cosytoes so it's perfect for winter walks. The shopping basket is a very good size for bags and coats and there are two other good sized pockets for blankets or bottles etc. The tyres could be tougher so we put thick puncture repair tape on the inside to prevent punctures which has been great. The rain shield is excellent but the parasol is worse than useless and the changing bag is ugly but functional.Read moreLess

I have used this pushchair in a very rural area for about two and a half years now. It's fab - fields, bumpy tracks, ditches, woods, mud and snow, it has handled them all fine. But I don't like to take it on flights because they do insist in putting it in the hold at boarding (because of its size).Read moreLess

So easy to use you literally can push it and fold it up with one hand! Brilliant for walking to shops and round the park. So soft and comfy for baby as well. Just a bit bulky for getting into car and into lifts etc. But overall don't look any further - just buy one.Read moreLess
"It's a great system, stylish etc... great for those who…"
It's a great system, stylish etc... great for those who like to do a lot of walking, it's very easy to move, very light and has a great turning circle. Easy to fold even with one hand! Fantastic. The only drawback for me is the fact that it takes up a lot of boot space so not so great when travelling.Read moreLess
"I would say this was a lovely pushchair, easy to…"
I would say this was a lovely pushchair, easy to use, a joy to push, plus the baby is very comfortable and cosy. You get lots of free extras with this pram which you don't get with many others. The only downside is that it's a bit bulky for mums with small cars and bit wide for some small shops. But overall an extremely good buy - highly recommended.Read moreLess
"Love it. It's comfortable, light as a feather to push,…"
Love it. It's comfortable, light as a feather to push, and safe. The only down side is that it VERY heavy and won't fit in my peugeot 206!!!Read moreLess
"Very easy to use, light and manoeuverable. The car seat…"
Very easy to use, light and manoeuverable. The car seat was easy to attach and remove and the click lock system of the handles gives you peace of mind. Pram function is excellent and very comfortable. It is also suitible for use off-road - if a little bumpy. On the downside both the hoods weren't big enough to shade the sun from the baby, especially the car seat hood. The shopping basket isn't big enough and if you have the pushchair reclining you can't get much in the basket. Apart from that excellent.Read moreLess
"My baby loves it. It is very good value for…"
My baby loves it. It is very good value for money, and also looks nice which is what you want. It comes with footmuff, raincover rucksack and a changing bag. The only thing I would say is the changing bag isn't too good as it's not big enough for all baby needs. It is easy to put up and down and pushes like a dream.Read moreLess
"Everyone thought this three-wheeler travel system, "fabulously smooth to push"…"
Everyone thought this three-wheeler travel system, "fabulously smooth to push" and "very well-made". "The air tyres provide "great suspension", "perfect for going off road and for bumpy pavements" and the car seat is "easy to fit on". It comes with a load of extras - cosytoes, seat liner, raincover, car seat - included in the price, so it's "quite a bargain". Bear in mind it's big, bulky when folded and heavy, so not the most portable, but on the plus side "you can fold it one handed". Overall "a stylish option at a great price".Read moreLess

"Great for off-road use i.e. walking to the park and…"
Great for off-road use i.e. walking to the park and back. Fine in shopping centres, but quite bulky and heavy to get in and out of the car. Not practical for public transport because of its size and weight. Ideal if you tend to walk a lot.Read moreLess
"Great looking, very trendy and better than all the others…"
Great looking, very trendy and better than all the others we looked at for ease of use and features.Read moreLess
"Excellent! Really sturdy and able to cope with everything. It…"
Excellent! Really sturdy and able to cope with everything. It is a bit bulky, but it's strong, comfortable and very practical - it even comes with a pump for any punctures!
Best bits have to be the car seat attachment - so helpful when the little one has dozed off in the car, the roll up back for hot days, and the bar at the front - great for babies who want to look around.
Best pushchair I've ever seen, and it moves incredibly smoothly too!Read moreLess
"Two years on and still as good as the first…"
Two years on and still as good as the first day it was used.Read moreLess
"Its so luxurious, I wanna sit in it myself!…"
Its so luxurious, I wanna sit in it myself!Read moreLess
"A little disappointed - very heavy when folded and cannot…"
A little disappointed - very heavy when folded and cannot fold it with one hand though you are supposed to be able to. Also quite large - have difficulty getting onto buses at times, particularly single-deckers. However, very good for shopping due to the large basket and swivel front wheel, light to actually push and good on riverside paths.Read moreLess
"Excellent value for money and an excellent all round system…"
Excellent value for money and an excellent all round system from birth to three plus. Not as snazzy as prams like the Quinny Buzz but far more practical.Read moreLess
"This pram is value for money. Excellent ride for baby…"
This pram is value for money. Excellent ride for baby and mother! Very smooth to push. Baby seat excellent, rain cover excellent and with matching cosytoes and bag. Everything a new mum could ask for and will last the child from baby to toddler and beyond...Read moreLess
"Fabulous and easy to use. Had many compliments on its…"
Fabulous and easy to use. Had many compliments on its look. Very comfortable - at least my 2 year old loved travelling in it and my newborn always goes to sleep when she's in the infant carrier, on the buggy.
When I bought it 2 years ago and the raincover, cosytoes and changing bag with mat, were part of the price. Very happy with it.Read moreLess
"Great looks, great price, comfortable. Quite heavy to lift to…"
Great looks, great price, comfortable. Quite heavy to lift to the boot of the car. Would prefer better suspension (as living on a farm ...). Car seat easy to fit. Great buy.Read moreLess

I made a basic lager with strictly light dry malt extract and really enjoyed the results. What could possibly change if I replaced the LDME with the amber malt extract?
You used light DME, and you are thinking about using amber DME instead? Well, the beer would be darker with a hint of sweetness.
From Midwest's website about dry malt extract: The malt extract products generally break down to 4 main categories. They are; "Extra Light" (generally used for pilsners or other straw colored beers), "Light", "Gold", or "Pale" (Three names demarking basically the same thing. Great as a fermentable base for most pale ales and some lagers, or used in conjunction with the amber or dark extracts and/or with specialty grains.), "Amber" (darker and with more residual sweetness than the "Extra Light" or "Light"), and "Dark" (Can be used for Porters and Stouts but needs to be infused with portions of chocolate and/or roasted barley to achieve varying degrees of those flavors, which are desirable for the style. The reason being that dark malt extract does not contain appreciable levels of these types of grain.)
No matter what kind of beer I was making (when I did extracts) I used light DME and used specialty grains for color and flavor.
Thanks for the info, I think I might give the amber a try and see how it turns out.
IMO stick with light and use grains for color/flavor. You have no idea what is used to make the dark extracts dark, it might complement your beer or clash with it.

Sunvia makes Latin America push
- Staff Portland Business Journal
Suniva Inc. entered Mexico and Latin America with a series of deals.
The Norcross, Ga.-based maker of crystalline silicon solar cells and modules said it will start several ground-mounted projects in Puerto Rico. Its solar modules also will soon be deployed in Mexico in substantial roof-top arrays. And it has begun its entry into South America, with an initial launch in Brazil.
"Mexico's solar industry has grown significantly over the last few years, and we are pleased to partner with one of the most respected construction companies in the country," said Matt Card, vice president of sales in the Americas for Suniva, in a statement. "The increasing solar opportunities in this region are numerous, and we are very pleased to participate with our partners in this neighboring market by offering the highest quality products made using low cost manufacturing methods, making solar sensible for all parties involved."

Cluster Bean/ Guar Bean
Chandra shared some cluster bean seed and I planted a short row of them around the first week of June. Last night I picked a few and fixed them according to the recipe he posted here, on this forum. They are good! I'm impressed, as this plant prospered, with just some watering, right through our most brutal heat. Now that I know their growth habit and that they taste good, I'm going to let the rest go to seed. Next summer I'll plan on a large planting of these. An estimated days to picking, here, is about 77 days. I believe that I can have mature seed in another two to three weeks. So, this is a match for our climate and conditions!
The beans look like a strange cross between Okra pods and snap beans. In the attached picture you can see some pods on the plant. What I needed to know, and now do, is that I can plant this one fairly close together, in a wide row. Not only does it produce a very palatable product, but it would probably be useful as a cover crop, much like cowpeas. Only cluster beans don't spread out at all. They grow mainly up.
Tahlequah, OK
Here is a link that might be useful: Wikipedia on Guar
Chandra sent me seeds also. I only planted a short row late trying to see how they would do here and like you to determine growing habit and needed spacing. Likewise mine have done very well right through the heat. Them and the Fowler bush beans are the only beans to thrive during the heat. Mine are just setting small pods now. I plan on saving seeds also. So hopefully I'll have some to share if anyone desires. My last planting of the Wood's Moutain Crazy Bean is doing a lot better. At least those that the grasshoppers didn't feast on. The early ones have struggled greatly. And both plantings have grown slower than the Fowler beans. I'm impressed with them. Jay
George and Jay,
I am glad to know they are growing well in your conditions as well. They are our favorite beans. I started harvesting from mid July, DTM for me is about 60days. They keep producing until first frost kills them. They are very tender, light frost will kill them. Its legume and good for soil amendment. I tried few spacing options, wider spacing will leads to some laterals if you snip off the tip after it reaches 2ft tall and high density planting also give the same yield. I tried equal spacing in all directions at 4, 8 and 12". But I guess your approach of prefer fairly close together, in a wide row sounds good option too. By the way, I noticed that gross hopper are not attaching them! -Chandra
Apparently this humble little bean is quite valuable. I never knew it was also used in fracking and the resulting shortage is driving up prices:
At $10 $15 a lb. for guar gum in the store, I may have to try growing some next year. I wonder how hard it would be to grind up the beans?
Here is a link that might be useful: Haliburton's margins lower due to shortage of guar gum
The only place I can think of that has guar bean seeds is Evergreen Seeds. I'll link them, just in case Jay has a weather-related disaster.....and I'm just saying that because for all of us, weather-related disasters are just so common any more.
Here is a link that might be useful: Evergreen Seeds-Guar Bean Seed
Yes gaur gum is an extract of the cluster bean (also called guar bean), usually used for gluten free food but never thought about fracturing.
Sharon, I have seeds for sharing, let me know if you need them. I guess you need to wait until next summer, it may be too late to plant.
If you grow enough guar beans for seed harvest, then you can make guar gum at home, I linked one such method below. I need to ask my mom about traditional approach.
Here is a link that might be useful: How to Make a Guar Gum
I would think I was on a starvation diet if I had to go gluten-free, and celiacs have my sympathy.
I have noticed over the last few years that more and more doctors are diagnosing patients with 'gluten sensitivity' although they don't have celiac. It seems to have become a popular diagnosis. I would have real trouble since I tend to think the major food groups are fruit, nuts and grains, and wheat is my favorite grain.
Jay and Chandra...thank you for the offer of seeds/beans!
It should be interesting to grow them - I looked at a TX Ag site that said they grow from 6-46 inches...??? How big a plant are you guys growing?
All this time I thought "guar gum" was a synthetic food additive...LOL.
They may be underestimating, it grows even higher under very favorable conditions. Last last year few of our cluster plants were about 70-75in. I guess they were competing with Burgundy okra growing next to them. In general I see them grow about 45-50in.
Yesterday I drove past a motel, near my work, which is operated by a family from India. They have a beautiful garden on the property, and, I noticed CLUSTER BEANS! Theirs are about 4' tall at this time.
I'm quite excited about growing these, in quantity, in the future. Just hope they mature a good deal of seed this year.
I'm still waiting for dry seed. But this plant has kept growing and making more pods. It has been unfazed by our heat and ignored by both rabbits and grasshoppers. As long as we can produce seed in this climate, I'd say we have "discovered" a new and wonderful vegetable for Oklahoma and the South!
Thanks for update on DTM, I guess weather pattern may also play role in DTM. It would be interesting to see if higher latitude may shorten the DTM? I never tried to save seeds from the plant grown in our garden as I have enough seeds in stock. It would be interesting to see how next progeny will perform from the plants grown here to their parental conditions (southern India). In case of coriander/cilantro, I have observed that offspring seems to doing much better than its parents, they seems to be naturalized in just one generation.
That is true, our cluster beans keep producing despite of moisture deficiency and scorching heat.
Here are two photos taken yesterday;
Cluster of beans!
they are already reached over 5ft and still counting
Wow those are amazing. I may have to eventually try to get my hands on those things. I wish my DW would eat more beans. I can't begin to get her to fix them much less eat them. Any beans cooked in this house are cooked by me.
How much are they producing per plant? It looks like a good deal from the photos, but kinda hard to tell.
Well, a couple weeks ago, I pulled my cluster beans (now dead) and put the dry pods in a bowl. Yesterday I processed them. It was disappointing that my seed harvest was lower than that which I originally planted. Hopefully, in 2013, I can get them in earlier, and this will make a difference in seed production.
Toward the end of the summer we had a rabbit or two which discovered the joys of cluster beans. It would nip them at the ground level, apparently looking for moisture.
Last night I followed the link to Evergreen Seeds, planning to order some more seed. But after I threw in a packet of Malabar Spinach, I still didn't meet their minimum order requirement.
So excited to read this thread. I ordered quite a bit of seed from Evergreen. Since Daughter lives in Asia (with SIL and grandsons), I have been exposed to many Asian veggies. In the summer, I go to the BA Farmer's Mkt where lots of Hmong farmers sell their veggies. I love Asian stir-fried vegetables! So good for a body. This is a great seed site. And Daughter is gluten intolerant, so will plant some guar beans.
I wish I had some to share. I didn't get them planted this year, and my supply is so low that I'll probably purchase some this winter. Here's a link to the company which I know sells the seed.

Never has liking a post on Tumblr or retweeting someone felt so profound. Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield, presently floating through space on the ISS as the flight engineer, has taken it upon himself to take jaw-dropping pictures of the Earth from space and then post those pictures on Tumblr.
There is an astronaut currently in space posting photos to Tumblr. From space. Because he's an astronaut in space. On Tumblr. Here are just a few of his pictures so far:
Washington, D.C. on Saturday night before President Obama's second inauguration
Not feeling satisfied with wowing the world through stellar photography, Hadfield goes on to have a conversation over Twitter with the original Captain James T. Kirk.
@cmdr_hadfield Are you tweeting from space? MBB
— William Shatner (@WilliamShatner) January 3, 2013
@williamshatner Yes, Standard Orbit, Captain. And we're detecting signs of life on the surface.
— Chris Hadfield (@Cmdr_Hadfield) January 3, 2013
What's truly remarkable about this level of correspondence between people living in space and those of us still tethered to the Earth isn't the instantaneous nature of it, but the casualness with which it's done. The same instrument that whiny kids can use to complain about not receiving the right color iPad as a gift is also used to send tweets back from those orbiting our planet. Tumblr, used for everything from obsessive fans of Sherlock and Doctor Who to social movement pushes, is being used by Hadfield to show us Earth in a way that few people have had the luxury of seeing it. And he's doing all of this in real time, as it happens. This colliding of the real and surreal will hopefully serve to make the whole experience that much more sublime, no matter how commonplace it may become.
