Blocked categories are overriding never blocks lists. A tleast when it comes to Yahoo Messenger and yahoo.com I have various categories blocked at work. But I white listed all Sub-domains at one level i.e. example.yahoo.com and msg.example.yahoo.com would be blocked and in stats. Sorry I don't remember all the actual examples. But there were 2 or 3 sub-domains at the second level blocked by category related to Yahoo Messenger. We block Instant messaging category at work with exception to YM.
There were also issues with clients.google.com for safebrowsing.clients.google.com in FF. I never blocked it along with www.google.com this way anti phishing, security certs, etc gets updated. These were also blocked, at one point during the day all of Yahoo and Google were blocked around 9 PST. (these networks had IM, portal & webmail blocked by category) As you can see I only block / unblock one sub-domain deep. To lower usage and make it legible on the screen.
Unblocking yahoo.com & google.com seemed to resolve this
I hope this helps, if I can think of more later I will write.
Is the ability to configure the Time Zone for which results are displayed something that's in the works?Thankful People: Matt Bain, speedynet.com, leebrasupply
the new stats are GREAT!
one thing that drives me nuts though!!!!!
Give us the ability to filter out certain categories.
I get a list of so many damn advertising/adware sites blocked that looking at the blocked sites list is worthless. i need to see if people are going to porn sites, etc, and when there are thousands of ad.adserve.com sites on the list, its impossible to use.
i see you are adding something to only show blocked by blacklist or block by category but i beg you to give me a way to filter out those blocked adware sites!Thankful People: Matt Bain, a123walt, rasztemberg
In my stats page i see:
We're experiencing some network issues with our website. (Don't worry, our website is separate from our DNS infrastructure.) Stats will be back soon.
And no stats from time i join (few days ago) is shown. Are status really up?Thankful People: rogerif
I'm getting the same "We're currently upgrading our Web site. It was about 10x easier to take the entire site down for a few minutes and make the change than plan a complicated, error-prone transition. DNS is up and running 100% and is unaffected by this upgrade." I've been getting this for days...
I set up openDNS on the 8th. As of the morning of the 10, no stats.Thankful People: nerlem, jrsteinberg
Still getting the various pages of "We are sorry". Even when I drill into a single network instead of trying to get an overall view of our dns requests.

(As mentioned in previous thread that existed, due to number of networks?)Thankful People: IT
I Don't get any stats..Thankful People: nerlem
For those of you who are new to OpenDNS. The stats function has been a work in progress for quite some time. As dgifford requests, please read the blog. It's still coming along.
I did have stats on Friday. Now I am getting the updating message once again.
Setup OpenDNS on Saturday, still no stats (by network or as a whole) at this point.
Has the new stats system rolled out for everyone, or is it still just for those who were in the test group?
Up until David's announcement ;-) on the 9th I had been able to view some form of the Top Domains and Blocked Domains stats. Since the 9th, when I click on Top Domains, or Blocked Domains on the Stats page I'm taken to a completely blank page. I'm using Firefox 3.0.6, with a variety of extensions, but I get the same results if I start Firefox in safe mode, (sans extensions), or if I use (shudder), IE 8 beta 2, so I'm thinking it's not a browser problem... any suggestions as to why I'm getting a blank page rather than stats?Thankful People: crazyal15

I only have one network set up. It's been that way since the cut over.
Same problem as well. Worked for a couple of days, then nothing.
When i try to view top domains and blocked domains i get a blank page when using firefox and IE7.
Stats page is back up and working like a charm!
What time zone are the stats being displayed for.
- CommentAuthorroddymcleod

I started using the service around 11am GMT on 9 Feb, but my stats are showing as starting from 2am
Does anyone else see the number "1" as being number one in their Top Domains list? A friend of mine is seeing the same thing. It seems like no matter what your top domain is it is getting displayed as a number, sometimes 1 sometimes 0.
yeah. i noticed that too.
Confirmed, I have this "1" as number one as well. And my former three top domains (VoIP domains of my ISP) disappeared surprisingly, also retrospective, same for other often visited sites. All in all, the stats seem to have become inconsistent. They fixed something in the wrong direction. But I'm optimistic that everything will soon be back. This stats system is fairly new and needs to survive and overcome its baby sicknesses. Let's be patient.
Same here. Concur with rotblitz's "inconsistent" assessment. I also note that they do not appear to be updating in (near) real-time, like they did during the test period. (I was online for hours last night, and my numbers never changed.)
I turned stats on 2 days ago, but no stats are being collected for my network (or at least they're not showing). So, can't test the conflicker blocker...
Another thing I have noticed on my network stats is that occasionally, the stats page does not show domains with less than five hits. This seems to occur with on multiple page stat reports. Whether data is provided is from a single day - network, single day - multiple network, multiple days - single network or multiple days - multiple networks. Stats with less than a page usually have everything down to single hit domains.
Also to atest to the inconsistency I have noticed various items missing from the reports. I domains I know are visited & reverse DNS requests (.arpa).
Following up with my previous post, now for me the strange "1" domain has disappeared again, and the VoIP lookups show up again, so it looks far better. However, out of my three networks only one gets stats, the two other unfortunately not.
Stats right now are showed in US Pacific time. This is still far from ideal but seemed empirically better than GMT for the largest number of users. Real custom timezone support is really coming, I promise!
I've been hard at work optimizing the system to prevent the "We're upgrading..." message. The solid white pages were a different problem, one which was fixed on Tuesday evening.
I'm going to continue pushing the performance and reliability of this new system. It's a new challenge to go from cold to 9 billion queries per day on a new architecture. Thank you all for being patient and reporting useful bugs. I'd like to think I'll be more active in the forum now that I've had a chance to take a breath.
I know there are a lot of school and corporate folks who have been itching for stats data. I whipped up a little shell script over the weekend to batch-download the CSV version of your Top Domains, which includes all blocked domains information, too. Enjoy! http://github.com/rcrowley/opendns-fetchstatsThankful People: wubba, rogerif, rotblitz, srday, qed, sradmin, maintenance, diamond1870, Andrej, roddymcleod, ccim-admin, dumser
@hsskc, @sradmin, @rotblitz, etc: The "1" and "0" problem was a glitch that I didn't catch very quickly in the caching policy. I massively changed how domain names are cached and as a result, some keys stepped on each others' toes. I apologize, it will not happen again, now that all of that funk has fallen through the cache. If anyone sees it again, please do let me know.
rcrowley: "Stats right now are showed in US Pacific time."
Thank you for clarifying this! Given the appearance of UTC (aka GMT) on the "main" Stats page, I assumed these were also in UTC and could NEVER understand why things were so "out of sync" with my usage habits.
While I look forward to "real custom timezone support," knowing the current system's time index makes things a LOT easier to understand in the meantime.
We are still getting "looks like we don't have any data..." message and only infrequently receiving actual data. I refreshed 5 times in the past 6 hours and only had data one time. I've cleared my browser cache and restarted my browser (FF 3.06) twice without results.
any chance of filtering as in my question above? i have so many ad sites blocked on the list, its just too hard to use it.
Stats seem to be working fine for me, except if I try to run a report (eg Top Domains) spanning more than 1 day. Even trying just 2 day's worth of data gives me the 'upgrading website' error page. Does anyone else have this issue?
Yes I am seeing the same thing right now.
I'm facing this problem rarely, but do. And yes, especially if there are many data to display.
Same here, but I've noticed the frequency of getting the "update" page vs getting the requested stats page is reversing. In other words I'm more likely to get the requested stats now, rather than the "update" page. I just assumed it was something that was being worked out over time, seeing as it was slowly getting better.
Stats simply don't work for me at all..... Any idea why?
I'm still working to make things faster and more reliable but in some cases it's a slow process. I'm waiting on a bit more hardware that will address the perpetual not-quite-real-time-iness of the data. There's potential that this will help with the website's occassional (but I'm happy to hear less frequent!) sluggishness. I'm not holding my breath.
@rflynn74: I just checked the counter and show no stats at all for your network though stats are enabled. Are you getting all of the other OpenDNS features on that network? I'm wondering if your IP address has changed or your DNS requests are being handled by a proxy with a different IP address. If we can't figure it out here in the forum, don't hesitate to drop our support guys a line at http://www.opendns.com/support/contact/ .
Not getting any stats for my network.
I've assigned the whole IP range we lease off our supplier and it shows nothing, has done for weeks, but I assumed it was part of the ongoing upgrade.
BTW: good work with the conficker block, that was getting to be a worry.
Thanks for your time.
@paulg: Our support gurus will be contacting you shortly. Your networks both have stats enabled but have not collected any data. I suspect your DNS traffic is not actually coming from the IP addresses you registered in your network. Whatever the case, we'll get it figured out.
Can you enlighten us, what your contribution has to do with the topic of this thread, the new stats system? No, we will not give an answer here! We expected you to open your own thread.Thankful People: srday, Red Prince, M Frank
google life image archive doesn't work when i change my dns settings to use opendns servers. the thumbnails show, but after clicking on them, the images are blank. i tried this with firefox, ie, and kmeleon. are those images being blocked for a reason or is this a bug?

See my comment @pwhiting above...Thankful People: srday, Red Prince
rcrowley: I submitted a report online
Is it me or the time on the graph isn't right? I'm located at UTC-5, but the graph shows that the peak period for DNS request is between 4am to 2pm, which is 11pm to 9am at my time. Maybe this caused by the China spammers, because .spamhaus.org was requested 4800 times.
"Stats right now are showed in US Pacific time." (Feb 12)
This would mean UTC −08:00. I do not have any further information, but this is probably what you were looking for.Thankful People: qed
@deq: Since, as stated above, the stats are in the US Pacific Zone, which is UTC-8, 4am to 2pm their time is 7am to 5pm yours.

A heads up to everyone: as part of a major plan to increase the performance of the system (mostly the parts behind the scence), I'm going to have to take away Top Domains for a brief period of time this afternoon. The maintenance will start at 1pm Pacific time. During the maintenance, only Top Domains will be inaccessible - the rest of Stats will work fine.
And we're off...
I've had to take the entire thing off for the last portion of the upgrade. We should be back in about an hour.

Great race on Sunday with 13 cars in the ST2 field. I qualified 2nd and jumped into the lead going into turn 2... but I held the inside line too tight (trying to give Oli some room) and the back end stepped out on me. That was enough for Oli (Vette) to get a jump going into 3 and he was able to walk away easily. I held John (Porsche) back for a while but his car was hooked up really well on Sunday so it was just a matter of time. Once John and Oli started dicing, I was able to get back in the race. Had I set up 9 a little better, I may have been able to pick up a position at the finish.

If you need to relax and enjoy a show and truly have a good time watching a seriously funny and entertaining video.......these are the best! Some are LOL histerical. I have the first 6 seasons and love watching them - show or 2 at a time. What a pleasure with no commercials. If CD's were rated I'd put these in the PG catagory. Money well spent!
I've been watching Two an a Half Men occasionally for the last year or so, & think it's hysterical. I started collecting the previous seasons about 3 months ago, and am slowly getting caught up. Charlie Sheen's personal life may be a disaster, but as "Charlie" on the series, he's a hoot.
the DVD's are in good condition and the series episodes are always good plus these were cheaper than the same two DVD's on amazon

Stem Cells Treat Multiple Sclerosis in Mice
Human embryonic stem cells — the body's powerful master cells — might be useful for treating multiple sclerosis, researchers reported Thursday.
A team has used cells taken from frozen human embryos and transformed them into a type of cell that scientists have hoped might help treat patients with MS, a debilitating nerve disease.
Mice with an induced version of MS that paralyzed them were able to walk freely after the treatment, the team at Advanced Cell Technology reported.
The cells appeared to travel to the damaged tissues in the mice, toning down the mistaken immune system response that strips the fatty protective layer off of nerve calls. It's that damage that causes symptoms ranging from tremors and loss of balance to blurry vision and paralysis.
These embryonic stem cells were carefully nurtured to make them form a type of immature cell called a mesenchymal stem cell. These cells worked better to treat the mice than naturally developed mesenchymal stem cells taken directly from bone marrow, the team wrote in the journal Stem Cell Reports, published by the International Society for Stem Cell Research.
Lanza says human trials are many months away, but he thinks it will not be necessary to use controversial cloning technology to make perfectly matched human embryonic stem cells to treat patients.

The offering closes May 21 for $10.72. Right now the stock is at $10.10. What happens if the stock stays under $10.50? Will the offering be cancelled or price lowered?
The new stock offering is scheduled to go for $10.72/share. Right now the market price is $10.35/shr. Will the offering be lowered to the market price or will the market price move up to the $10.72 offering ? How does that work?
The answer is NO. Since the moneys you funded your IRA are pre-tax dollars (in otherwords you did not pay taxes on the money) you cannot now use it as a tax writeoff. I am not an acountant so if there is anyone out there who knows otherwise, I and a lot of other investors would like to know.
Thank you, Adam. When your theory first came out it did not sound logical. But after some DD I realized that you had something. Based on that article I decided to hedge and sold half from which I made a decent profit. I kept the other half on the basis of other analysts articles(ie Seeking Alpha). Today as you predicted,it tanked and I lost all of my previous gains but thanks to you I am almost even. Lessons learned: None. I will still gamble on these type of situations but on a much smaller scale.
This is a proposed acquisition. Does anyone know the price we will get if the acquisition goes thru ?
I loved the previous message which started out as "We restored a goodly amount of vision". The "we" implies that by owning this stock we are part of the solution. Great attitude. Funny that I never thought of it in that way.
This stock is in a "League of its own" Its ups and downs have nothing to do with the market, Only results count. Until we have positive results nothing will happen and it will drift down because of lack of liquidity. It will take one to two years for positive results and then it will explode. File away and forgetaboutit.
We all knew that when we bought this stock that it was not a sure thing. We are all in it for the long haul. Stop checking this stock every minute. Be patient and hope for the best.
Everyone (or most) on this board are feeling giddy with anticipation (me too). Hope there is not a let down in the Fall. That's always a bummer.
Does anyone have a clue of what is going on. I know the market is down but CODI just raised their dividends and their earnings seem to be OK
so why are they down this much????
Thank you for answering the question.

16. The hair curler set of claim 1 wherein said rollers are provided with hair-gripping means on their cylindrical shells.
The invention relates to hair curling rollers and to a new way of heating them. It refers particularly to a complete set comprising a case and rollers positioned therein and to a new method of transferring heat energy from the case to the individual rollers.
A conventional hair curling set consists of a case provided with a plurality of upstanding electrically heated posts and a number of rollers, usually of different diameters, positioned on these posts to be heated to the required temperature. The rollers are usually cylindrical, provided with hair-gripping means on their circumference, and contain thermally insulated portions to allow their handling without the danger of burning the user's fingers. They are hollowed out in their bottom portion for being placed onto the posts for the sake of heat transfer from post to roller. The case is usually closed by a cover which retains the heat during warming up. Various types of rollers are on the market: there are rollers of metal and of plastic material, or rollers having a metal core or sleeve and a plastic outer shell; some rollers are provided with bristles, and others with outstanding teeth. Other kinds are filled with a heat-retaining melting liquid, but all have the common feature of being hollowed out for being placed on the heated posts.
The posts are occasionally heated individually by an electric heating element inserted into each post. This arrangement is relatively expensive and adds considerable weight to the set. In most instances, the entire bottom of the case is heated by electric resistor means and heat energy is transferred to each post mostly by convection. In this way, much heat is dissipated and heating-up takes a long time. Also, the existing hair curling sets are of excessive height due to the vertical posts and the rollers placed thereon, a fact which makes storage inconvenient, especially on a trip away from home, when modern flat suitcases are used. An example of such an arrangement is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,489,233 (Glucksman). The above drawback is overcome in the hair curling set of the present invention which has as one of its objects to provide flat cases, by placing the rollers flat on the bottom of the box containing them at the same time.
It is another object to provide the curler case with simple and inexpensive heater means which provides rapid heat transfer to the rollers; and it is a final object to permit ready withdrawal of individual rollers and their repositioning from and into the case, without any major effort.
The hair curling set of the invention consists of a container or case--preferably provided with a cover, provided with locations for positioning therein a plurality of hair curling rollers in parallel and substantially horizontal alignment. The case comprises an elongated heater body, containing electric resistance means, and provided with distanced-apart heat-transfer portions; the case further comprises resilient, releasable means adapted to press each roller onto one of the heat transfer portions of the heater body so as to effect intensive heat transfer from the heater body to each roller. Each roller consists of a metallic shell provided with external hair-gripping means, and with one metallic end shaped to cooperate with individual heat transfer portions of the oblong elongated heater body, with the aim to obtaining a large common area of heat-conductive contact.
In a preferred embodiment the case is built to house two parallel rows of rollers on both sides of the heater body and in heat-conductive contact with two rows of opposite heat transfer portions.
The heater body is generally in the shape of a flat box containing a loop of electric resistor such as a rope-heater, and provided on one or both sides with projecting knobs of various shapes, which serve as heat transfer portions and mate with the bottom portions of the rollers to be heated. The knobs may be planar so as to mate with the flat end of each roller, or they may be of hemispherical or frustoconical shape so dimensioned as to readily cooperate with corresponding recesses in the bottom ends of the rollers.
The rollers, which are of metal, have their top ends usually closed by a plastic cover which permits handling of the roller and protects the hand from contact with the metallic, heated portions. Most rollers are likewise fitted with a plastic ring at their bottom end, similarly serving for their handling without the danger of contact with the hot metal portions.
A modification includes a metal shell covered over its entire length by a plastic case from which project spikes or teeth as hair gripping means.
The case may contain spring means serving to press onto the tops of the rollers and to urge their bottom ends into firm contact with the heater portions of the heater body. Another possibility is to utilize the cover of the case to press onto the roller tops, in closed state, and thus to urge them toward the heater.
Still another possibility is to have the inner portion of the case, adjacent the tops of the rollers, included in such a manner that downward pressure of the case cover on the rollers urges them onto the heater portions.
FIG. 1 is a cross section through a case containing one row of rollers, and a longitudinal section through one of the rollers.
FIG. 2 is a part section through a case containing two rows of rollers and through a roller of modified configuration.
FIG. 3 is a cross section through a case housing one row of rollers, showing spring means adapted to press onto the roller heads.
FIG. 4 is a cross section through a case containing one row of rollers, showing another manner of urging each roller onto the heater body.
FIG. 5 is a cross section through a modified case containing two rows of rollers and through a roller provided with a recessed plastic cap.
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a case containing two rows of rollers aligned on both sides of a heater body.
One embodiment of the curler set of the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 6. In general, curlers 44 are positioned side-by-side in a cradle 50 constructed to push or position the curlers against a heating element 17. FIGS. 1-5, described in more detail below, illustrate the present invention in terms of various embodiments which represent the present invention. In general, the present invention is a compact curler case containing at least one row of curlers, and containing an improved heat transfer system. The heat transfer system comprises spaced-apart heat transfer portions (of different designs as represented in FIGS. 1-5) which protrude from an elongated heater body, and which mate with a corresponding roller. The roller is urged into the protrusions by the slope of the cradle and/or a variety of designs located at the end of the cradle opposite the heater body.
The heat transfer portions may be rectangular or cylindrical flat-faced knobs (FIG. 1), hemispherical (FIG. 2), frusto-conical (FIG. 3), or elongated versions of any of the above (FIG. 5). It is not intended, however, that the design of the protrusion should be limited to the designs illustrated.
The shape of the roller may also vary, depending on its end use. In the preferred embodiment, the roller body is cylindrical or rectangular, and may or may not contain spikes, teeth, or short fibers radiating from the sides of the roller. Several embodiments of the roller shape are shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,548,218 and 4,382,447, and 4,569,360 (Glucksman).
The means of pressing the roller against the heat transfer protrusions may also exhibit design variations within the scope of the invention. The roller may be pushed against the heat transfer portion by a strip of foamed plastic or similar material (FIG. 1), rings (FIG. 2), a leaf spring (FIG. 3) or sloping surface (FIGS. 4 and 5). In each of these designs, the cover may assist in pushing the roller against the heat transfer portion (see, particularly, FIGS. 4 and 5).
FIG. 1 shows a rectangular case consisting of a bottom 1, a rear wall 2 and a top 3, the latter covering about 1/4 of the interior and leaving a large portion of the top and the front open for handling the rollers positioned in the case. This opening is closable by a lid or cover 4 which covers the open top portion and the open front portion, and is hinged to the case top by a hinge 9. A strip of foamed plastic material 5 is fastened to the inside of the front portion of the cover which serves to press onto the heads of the rollers when the cover is in a closed position. An elongated heater body 6 is positioned in the rear part of the case extending along the entire length of the rear wall. It comprises protruding cylindrical, flat-faced knobs 7, one knob for each roller to be heated, and encloses a loop of an electric resistor 8, such as a rope heater, the latter having its terminals connected to a switch (not visible in the drawing).
Each roller consists of a metal cylinder 10 which is closed at its bottom end in the shape of a flat circular protrusion 11 of a size corresponding to the diameter of the knobs 7 on the heater body 6; a circular recess 12 is formed around this protrusion and accommodates a ring 13 of a thermally insulating material, which serves to locate the roller exactly on the knob 7 and to protect the fingers of the user against burns. The open front end of the roller is closed by a cylindrical cap 14, of similar diameter as the ring 13. It serves to support the roller on the case bottom and protects the user's fingers. The roller depicted in this drawing is shown to be coated with short nylon fibers 15 on radiating from its outside which, in a known manner, assist in gripping the strands of hair wound around it.
The embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2 shows a twin case, permitting two rows of rollers to be positioned on opposite sides of the elongated heater body 6A. Only one side, however, is shown complete with rollers positioned on the case bottom. The case is similar to that illustrated in FIG. 1, however, of double the width in order to accommodate the two rows of rollers, and is provided with one hinged cover 4 at each end. The set is characterized by knobs 17 on both sides of the heater body, formed with hemispherical ends which mate with hemispherical recesses 21 in the metallic bottom portions of the rollers. Ring 23 is fitted around the bottom portion serving as a handgrip and to center the roller in the semicircular trough, defined by the bottom of the casing and dividing walls. The plastic cap 14 of the embodiment of FIG. 1 is somewhat modified; it appears in the shape of a cap 24 made of an elastomer and provided with a compressible central protrusion 25. As can be gleaned from the drawing the protrusion is compressed by the closed case cover 4, thus, pressing the roller ends onto the appropriate knobs 17 of the heater body. Compared with the flat contact surfaces of heater and roller as shown in FIG. 1, the hemispherical contact faces provide a larger heat-transfer surface, also ensuring perfect contact even if the rollers are slightly mis-aligned.
The embodiment shown in FIG. 3 comprises a case designed for one row of rollers, similar to that shown in FIG. 1. Instead of the flat contact faces between heater and roller, the present embodiment shows male and female frusto-conical shapes of the knobs 37 on the heater body and of the recesses 31 in the roller ends. Their function is similar to that of the corresponding parts shown in FIG. 2, i.e., larger heat transfer area, better fit and perfect centering. A modification of the roller is also expressed by a cylindrical, plastic sleeve 30 covering the entire length of the metal cylinder as well as the open front end of each roller, the sleeve being provided with outstanding spikes or teeth 35 serving to better grip the hair, and to keep the user's fingers away from the hot barrel.
A leaf spring 40 extends along the front end of the case and urges the rollers onto the knobs 37 for increased heat transfer. The cross section of the leaf spring comprises an inclined top portion facilitating insertion and withdrawal of individual rollers.
The embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4 is in its main parts identical with that shown in FIG. 2, the difference being in the manner of urging the rollers toward the heater body. Herein the knobs and the roller bottoms are in respectively male and female, hemispherical shape; however, the top end of the roller is covered by a conical cap 44, while the front end of the case is shaped to form an inwardly sloping surface 45 in contact with the cap 44. A downward-extending ledge 46 is formed on the inside of the cover 4 which, in closed state of the cover, presses down on the sides of the rollers close to their top ends. This pressure forces the rollers to slide down along the sloping surface 45 and thus to be urged into close contact with the knobs 17 of the heater body.
FIG. 5 illustrates yet another embodiment of a twin-case hair-setter according to the invention. The heating body 6A with its spherical ended knobs 17 is being supported by two supports 47 and 47', the lower support 47 being firmly held in the casing of the setter 48, whereas the upper support 47' is secured by a vented bridge 49. The longitudinal vents 49' in this bridge allow hot air from the heating unit to escape to avoid overheating of the closed case. The case comprises a plurality of cradles 50, each of semi-circular cross-section corresponding to the diameters of the roller caps 44 and 44'. The end of each cradle furthermost from from the heating body 6 is in the shape of a sloping wall 45A, attached to the casing wall but separate from the side walls of the cradles 50, to allow it to flex. When a roller is placed in the cradle 50 it automatically becomes aligned with the center of the knob 17, when it is subsequently being pushed down by the user or by the rib 46 in the lid 4. The rear wall 45A of the cradle flexes and forces the roller against the knob 17 to effect a good contact and rapid heat transfer. The rear cap 44' of the roller is provided with a recess 51 to assist in the removal of the rollers by lifting the backs with a finger tip. Hinges 9 and 9' are provided with clips 91 and 91' which are bi-stable, namely they will allow the cover to rest in either of two positions. The cover 4 is shown in its closed position whereas the cover 4' is shown in its open position.
The hair setter or case is supported above the resting surface by integral feet 41; it is also provided with a switch, a power cord and temperature controlling and limiting devices not shown in this picture.
FIG. 6 shows a twin case of FIG. 5 filled with rollers on both sides of a heater body. The rollers are in slightly inclined position, from a low level in the center of the case to a higher level at both ends, in contradistinction to the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 4; however, it has been proved that this position slightly assists in withdrawing and replacing of the rollers from and into the case. The two covers 4 are of transparent material and one portion is shown in open position for use of the rollers.
The advantages of the curler set of the invention are primarily the compactness of the case, and secondly the improved heat transfer from heater body to the rollers, resulting in quicker warming-up. Another important feature is the low cost of manufacture due to the simple design of the heater body, compared with the cost of the hitherto used posts engaging with hollow rollers.

Chicken tea cosy
This week I came across a picture of my chicken tea cosy on Pinterest and then the next day a lady wrote and asked where she could find the free pattern for it.
Funny how that happens.
So, the pattern is here: Pattern – Hen Tea Cosy
You're welcome!
Artisan apron
As you may know, I work from home in a little room off the kitchen and I used to find myself doing all the things that needed to be done instead of actually working. If you work from home I'm sure you know what I'm talking about!
After much thought I realised that I needed a work uniform, something to wear that made me (and everyone else) know that I was not at home but at work. And so I made my apron and have been gradually embellishing it with my favourite sayings and little badges and motifs and now when I wear my apron I feel creative and ready to work.
My apron is so lovely and cream and special that I'm not tempted to sweep the floor or brush the dog when I'm wearing it! And now when I take it off I actually feel that I've left work behind for the day- which is a marvellous thing for an apron to achieve don't you think?
Anyway, after lots of requests for a pattern it is finally here and in my Etsy shop now.
I've been seeing a lot of candlewick bedspreads in the charity shops lately. And I've bought a few despite not really liking them (yucky, pastel colours) and having no idea what to do with them once I got them home.
But I've finally learnt to trust my instincts on such things.
And then last week whilst in one of those shops that sells everything I stumbled across some indigo washing machine dye and thought I'd see what effect it would have on a candlewick bedspread.
And to my surprise they dye amazingly well! So now I have no idea what to do with a beautifully coloured candlewick bedspread!
Maybe I could use this coat as inspiration?
Sorry for repeating myself here but my little rabbit pattern does get very popular at this time of year and I thought I'd make him nice and easy for you to find.
Rabbit is such a simple charming fellow that you've still got plenty of time to stitch a whole warren of them before Easter!
So, here I am to announce the happy winner of my 'Hearty Good Wishes' fat quarter bundle. There were 654 comments (wow! Thank you!) and the random number generator I used chose comment number 426- so many congratulations Sue Bennett!
Please email me your address and I will rush to the post office with your fabric!
Hello and welcome to letter H on the Moda designer blog hop!
I've been given the letter H for my 'Hearty Good Wishes' fabric line and book which are due in your local quilt shop very soon.
My 'Hearty Good Wishes' fabric collection and book are inspired by the English coast in the winter time and by my love of listening to the shipping forecast on BBC Radio 4 late at night whilst sewing in my studio with my boys sleeping safely upstairs.
I'm re- making the 'Good Old Blighty' quilt from the book in my new fabrics. I've finished the applique and am slowly embroidering the names of the sea areas (pattern and instructions in my 'Hearty Good Wishes' book).
I live in the centre of town now but I grew up near the white cliffs of Dover (where the tiny piece of dark navy fabric is at the bottom right of England). I'd love to live near the sea again!
So, here are a few of my favourite things beginning with my letter H:
favourite quilt block: Hexagons. I really enjoy English paper piecing
favourite word: Happenstance
favourite food: Honey
favourite memory about school: Home time!
I love quilting because: I love to use my Hands
something I can't create without: a Happy Heart
somewhere I like being: Home preferably by the warm Hearth
somewhere I've been: Honiton, Devon which is beautiful and famous for it's lace (made for Queen Victoria's wedding dress and Prince George's christening gown)
And now I have some treats for you!
I have a fat quarter bundle to giveaway to one lucky reader. Just leave a comment telling me something you like beginning with H.
I'll draw the winner at random on Friday 28th February (English time!)
And you can find the PDF pattern for the letter H quilt block here.
Now please hop on over to French General for your letter G, and then to Basic Grey for your letter I.
Hearty Good Wishes!
I'm on the American Patchwork and Quilting radio show today!
I talked to the bubbly, lovely Pat Sloan during Fall Quilt Market and she was so kind and friendly that I forgot my nerves and just chattered away answering her questions.
I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation. I have fond memories of it (and the jewellry shopping we did afterwards!)
Merry Christmas
Well, it's time for me to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year!
Thank you very much for all your support, kind words and company this past year- it truly means the world to me.
winter evenings
I actually really like the long winter evenings.
In the spring and summer I always feel I should be out 'doing' and making the most of the light, and so I do.
But in the winter I can just curl up in front of the wood burner with a hand sewing or knitting project and settle in. I already have a penguin and a scarf to show for this years' winter evenings.
The long, cold and dark nights are my friend.
Dear diary
Today I painted the title of what will be my fourth book on my new sketchbook (always the same black square made by Seawhite of Brighton).
If you follow me on Pinterest you will have a feeling for the book already. The same feeling as me maybe, who knows? Because all I know at the moment is that I've found a place to start.
And so it begins…

Saving the hostas
I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to my hostas to help thm through this freezing weather?? are they pretty hardy? They had already come out this year and then this week of freezing weather comes out of the blue after the 80 degree days the week before..........
I just came in from checking my plants and thought I would check this forum to see what damage others are seeing. I was surprised not to see more posts on the subject!
I have several kinds of hostas and the leaves are definately damaged after last night's cold. I think that after the cold passes, they will continue to put up new leaves and be just fine. Hosta and Daylillies both are very tolerant of these late freezes. I have never lost any to late cold, regardless of leaf damage. I hope yours pull thru and return to good health. They are amazingly hardy plants so there is every reason to think they will!
If you don't have too many, you can cover with leaves, mulch up high around them or even put cardboard boxes over them. This won't protect against actual freeze, it's used more to protect against frost, but it should help some. Also go out and water them well if you can. A well-watered plant is less likely to suffer damage than a dehydrated one.
I put pots over my 2 favorite hostas & I have not looked under the pots yet. The ones I did not cover are melted except for the undulatas - They may go tonight.
This is my leap (third) year on many of my plants & here this freeze came along. I covered peonies that had buds, an english rose, & my crinum Jeff gave me a couple years ago :-) & some other small perennials.
My poor clematis had at least a thousand buds & was going to be gorgeous.....WAHHHH!!!
I wonder if this will get the peaches around here.
I covered everything and tucked everyone in........I'm hoping that this will keep all of them well. Although it took me almost 4 hours and I was so wind burned.......that was only for my own beds.....I also spent 2 hours at my boyfriends.........the very few of my daylilies that weren't covered look ok today.......But I had to pick and chose since I didn't have enough covers for all of them. I'm keeping my fingers crossed

leaking hummingbird feeders ... !!
I have a handful of plastic hummingbird feeders both with plastic & with glass tops and I have yet to find one that doesn't LEAK!!! Both the ones with the holes on top of the resevoir (No perch)& those with the feeders on the side of the resevoir both with & without a perch must leak as I fill it & within the day it is empty (no, there are not THAT many patrons to the 'dinner table'!). I have sealed all the areas where the two feeder sections meet so doubt it leaks there but just maybe the leaks come from the feeding holes? OK, they are not fancy $$ feeders but I hate to buy any more $$ or fancy glass ones until I can figure out where
the leaks occur( the bottom always seems dry when I go out & touch it).
Also I rarely (or ever!) see more than one hummer at the feeder as if another comes while one is feeding they get into an aerial battle til the intruder is chased away. Is this common? Sure antisocial critters! Fun to see the gymnastics when the finches & sparrows try to take a sip without falling though!!
I have had leaks in several models where the fluid is higher than the feeder ports. I have never had a leak in a Hummzinger type feeder and I have both Oriole and Hummingbird feeders of that type.
This one doesn't leak, you can buy this feeder for $5 at Walmart.
Here is a link that might be useful: First Nature 16 oz Hummingbird Feeder
i have on of the walmart ones too but a bear pulled the feeder down last week and the bottom is missing now.
Also have one of the hummzingers too but the holes or ports are the same color as the base and the birds were not useing it. so i got a couple little crafts bottles of emanel paint and painted flower petals around the holes and they are useing it now. the one most of the birds both orioles and hummingbirds like best are the orange base oriole feeder with orange slice decorations around the holes and the perches of clear plastic.
bob414: thanks for the info. on that feeder design but am a bit confused about the Humzinger feeders... the resevoir is at the bottom of the feeder- so how do the hummers reach the nectar when the nectar level goes down? Or is the resevoir shallow enough that the hummer's beak can reach the bottom?
on my hummzinger the resevoir is probably only a little over an inch deep and most hummingbirds bills are an inch 1/2 to 2 inches long. the canter fruit or jelly cup is surrounded by a almost flat surface and the birds stand on it to eat and poop sticks on the lid so i have to wash it off regularly but mostly just take the lid off and spray it with a garden hose but i do take all my feeders down on a rotational basis and soak them in a bucket of water with a little bleach in it. I check the trrift stores or yard sales and pick up extra feeders cheap if i find them and always have a spare one or two on hang.
dklucius: Thanks! I had wondered about the depth of that feeder & how often one would have to refill it but 16 oz. should last longer than my 'leaky' ones do & shallow enough for the hummers to suck to the bottom!!
I had also wondered which the hummers preferred: drinking while hovering or standing while drinking but if on your's they can rest while snacking it seems to me to be preferable! The ones x WalMart are easy to fill (nothing for the hummers to stand on though) with a wide mouth reservoir but I found it leaked around the rim where the two red plastic sections joined & despite my placing a ring of glue around that ring area it seemed to still ooze a bit. Too, it seemed I could see fluid coming out of the drinking holes on the top ledge.. due to the reservoir being on top? Maybe I just got a couple of defective feeders! I will try to find one of those humzingers here locally & try one!
Do hummers prefer to 'sit down for dinner' or 'eat on the fly'?!... was curious.
Thanks for everyone's input!
Don't be too sure that the hummers are not draining your feeder. Ours empty out quickly this time of the year when the hummingbirds are fueling up for the migration south.
However I believe that high winds occasionally blow some of the nectar from our feeders as well.
It's important to take down your feeders and rinse them out and refill every 3 days, and to soak them in a chlorine bleach solution for 1/2 hour once a week, to prevent mildew. So I wouldn't worry if the level of fluid goes down. Just think of it as a reminder to clean and refill the feeders.
one litle rufous hummingbird always perches and sits there for minutes at a time sipping till he get his fill. then he lands on a branch above and thinks its his duty to chase off anymore that come around. but most of them eat on the fly hovering. but my orioles and tanagers both prefer to perch or hang and all the birds share the feeders so one ones without perches i either glued or screwed on strips of plastic to make perches on them,
i also have a one like yours with a snap on bottom base and it was also seeping between the two pieces. I snapped it apart and coated both lips with super glue and snapped it back together and then painted the seam with an eyebrow brush with another coat of glue and so far has quit seeping.
i feel your pain but i found this one and it does not link
Here is a link that might be useful: non leaky hummingbird feeder!
The only hummers I get are Anna's. They have long tongues and I think could easily reach nectar 2" deep. Some day I'm going to get a video clip of one drinking. It's fun watch through the side of the feeder and see the action of their tongue while they are feeding.
When the hummers use the feeder that the Oriole is on in the picture they hover. I've never seen one sit on it. The Hooded Orioles (also Bullock's) drank the nectar but never the oranges or grape jelly that I put in the depressions made for that on the lid of this feeder. Another thing I like about these feeders is that you can put them in the top shelf of the diswasher to clean them.
I stopped using plastic long ago and switched to glass. I've read that some of the plastic in the feeders may contain BPA which contaminates the nectar and is harmful to the birds.
I have found some really pretty ones on sale at Kohl's and some nice ones online, too. The birds love 'em and so do I.
Here is a link that might be useful: hummingbird feeders
Males will claim a feeder and chase off others. Their energy requirements are so high, its more efficient to protect a good food source than constantly search for sources. They will also do this with high energy flowers sources, which are mostly in the tropics. They claim an area that produces 2-5 times their needs. There has been research the shows mating success is related to the quality of the food resources the male controls.
One year, I had a smart female that would come to the feeder when I was replenishing the other feeders. She wasn't afraid of me, but the male was, so she would get a drink while he was frantic about 5-10 feet away.
There is a place in Costa Rica that has about 100 Hummingbird feeders each about 10 feet apart. Each one has a male protector and they spend all day flying in circles protecting it for the others.
I have two plastic hummingbird feeders; one made by Droll Yankees and one by Audubon.
The instructions that came with the Droll Yankees feeder say:
"A hummingbird's tongue is roughly twice the length of its beak. It licks the nectar. (Approximately 13 licks per second!) You might see its beak and think that it can't reach the nectar in the bottom of the feeder. Look closely with binoculars to see the tongue."
Also, one feeder states a capacity of 10 ounces and the other 12 ounces. Neither amount fills the feeder to the rim so I don't think they are designed to be filled up to the rim.
Bottom line, it seems to me, is that you don't need to fill the feeder that full - the hummingbirds will sip the nectar just fine.
I use hummzingers and have the little caps that keep the bees from draining it but the hummers can still enjoy. How late do we continue to put out food?
I live near St. Louis, and I have tried putting out fruit for any birds that would eat it oranges, apples stay till they are leather like. Am I in wrong area for those birds?
What birds eat grape jelly and I have heard it it different from our grape jelly. Thanks
here anyway the orioles and tanagers eat the fruit best
oranges and watermelon and apples. But the woodpeckers and grosbeaks do eat some. I use the regular grape jelly from the grocery store both the store brands and welch's jelly.
I had several jars of homemade apricot jam in the pantry from last year and tried it and the birds enjoyed it.
My orioles and tanagers have already left for the year headed south but the grosbeaks are still here and eat raisens and jelly the hummingbirds here leave out in september when it started frosting at night. I take down my necter feeders by the last of september. I was lucky this spring to have a pair of Lewis's woodpeckers fledge 4
young woodpeckers and they loved the jelly and watermelon
and really devored the homemade woodpeker blocks made with sorgum and nuts and rasens and fruit bits. They have left
recently but hope to see them in the spring. Our seasons here change earlier because of the higher elevations and mountains so we are probably way ahead of you in cool weather and frosts. which starts the summer birds on their way south.
