Comments about Evapo-Rust Rust Remover -- 1-qt. Container:
It was on my car door. I had to wait awhile to use it due to the weather. When I finally applied the substance to the rust,I looked at it the next day and it sort of cleaned it up. I can't really tell.

Works great. I use a ton of this stuff.
By Raj
from New York
The stuff works great to remove rust. It will remove some platings and oxide finishes (gun bluing), which is good if you want them removed. It also seems to strip yellow dichromate, so think twice before using on yellow chrome parts (most of my auto machine screws. Grrr.). Generally, you want enough Evaporust to fully immerse your parts. Although it is safe to leave your parts soaking for days, make sure that they are completely covered. I've found that etching can occur at the "water line" for parts that are left half in and half out.

Outstanding CardPros: -Play anything on highest setting with zero skipping. Cons: Price Did you find this review helpful? |
coil whine is defaningPros: asus quality. vs stock design i know this has very little to do with asus the company and more to do withamd hd 7970 reference design Cons: i dont have time to deal with anymore problems from a graphics card Other Thoughts: after finding a match to the asus hd 7970 reference hd7970 i already have ( it has no coil whine ) Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Great viewing on my monitor and user control. I love this card I would recommend this card to whoever wants a top of the line graphics. Battlefield 3 on all high levels. Cons: Price but, you get what you pay for! Did you find this review helpful? |
Great Card!Pros: This card has more power than you could ever need. If you run only one monitor, you will never get close to maxing it out. With EyeFinity, the card has to work, but it works great! Easy overclocking through AMD Catalyst. I was able to push this reference model to 1050/1450 MHz on stock power. As always, ASUS quality gets 0 complaints from me. Cons: Expensive. Priced too similarly to a Nvidia 680, which has a slight edge in performance. Promotions close the gap, but it still ends up being too close in price to a better performing card. Other Thoughts: i5 3570 w/ Xigmatek Loki 2x92mm Did you find this review helpful? |
Coil whine!!!Pros: - Very powerfull! Cons: Three cards in row who have coil whine! Other Thoughts: The whine appear in each game's loading and during the WEI score. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Radeon HD 7970Pros: Very powerful graphics card. 3GB of GDDR5 and can handle anything that's thrown at it. Cons: It didn't come with a second graphics card :) Other Thoughts: AMD Includes three free games to download through steam. It's a great deal and I'm considering buying another card sometime soon to crossfire. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great card, frustrating servicePros: This card is extremely fast, there is no game you cannot throw at it 1080p with full settings. It also overclocks to amazing speeds, I had mine at 1200mhz with only very minor voltage tweaks. Cons: The reference design is horrible, and due to the loud fan speeds, I had to leave it at stock clocks, and even then it's very loud, and runs hot. It died on me after about 2 months or so. Asus RMA is alright, I'm very unhappy with the online RMA status checker. So far they have had the card for 9 days, only after I called and gave the tracking number, did they become aware they had received the card, 2 days ago. Now I have to wait additional time for them to repair/replace the card, and their shipping back. I also had to RMA a motherboard a while back, and that RMA status didn't update until I had the motherboard back in my hands, rendering the status update useless. Other Thoughts: I buy alot of Asus products because they do seem to last, and they stand behind their warranty, even if it does take them a bit. If you buy this card, I'm confident that you'll be happy with it, and hopefully will not have any issues with RMA if it happens to not function correctly. I only docked one egg because even through all the problems, this card is really great! Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Not sure I guess it did run cool when it worked. Cons: Well I got the card and the performance was worst than my HD5870 with 1gb not OC. Kept getting BSOD (New divers 12,4 at the time). Thought my PS was an issue but 1200watts is plenty for my system and its reading correctly. Thought maybe it was heat also. Ran pretty cool temps were lower than my 5870. This card was NOT cross-fired either. Other Thoughts: RMA in hopes to get another one but its no longer available. I'm kinda upset because I had to pay for the RMA shipping back in hopes to get a new one. I've NEVER had any issues with Asus before so I just think it was just a funked card it happens. Guess I need to go else where to get this card =/ Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Fast but bigPros: Runs at a nice speed and has HDMI! Cons: Really big, had to move hard drives to install it. And takes so much power! Other Thoughts: No VGA but there are adapters for that atleast. Did you find this review helpful? |
HOLLY Cow Batman!Pros: This thing is awsome on eyefinity. The detail is unreal.I could nt believe how much it changed my games.Dues ex,battlefield 3. ! Cons: have not encountered any. on water and stays 45c all throught game play. Other Thoughts: u need one of these! Did you find this review helpful? |

FeaturedCommentsThe original Wildcat, Ted Grant, is awesome. Ever since he beat the entire Injustice Society by himself with two broken arms (in the TPB "Injustice Be Done") I've loved the guy.
I love your classic style. However, a friend pointed out that all his favorite characters now look like they live in a faded newspaper. I'm interested in your motivation to use such desaturated colours despite the original vibrancy.
Thanks! Just depends on what I feel like, I don't necessarily always deal in desaturated colors.
i love your gallery,i can tell you like your comics the way i do FUN!.too bad there are not more creators with your sensibilities in the industry.

I took this photo on July 20th, 2008, in Concepcion del Sur, Santa Barbara, Honduras. This date marks the Dia de Lempira in Honduras, when the nation celebrates their cultural history and honors Chief Lempira, a Lencan warrior who unified hundreds of Honduran tribes in opposition against the Spanish conquerors. Many towns celebrate by holding a Day of Culture, where traditional food and dance are on display. This picture depicts a competition where school children used materials of local significance to make elaborate costumes. This girl is wearing naturally dyed corn husk jewelry, and carries a basket of a local variety of banana.

Probably some farm in the area. I'm sure they've gone on plenty of supply runs from the prison.
Seems that more people would've gotten sick if it were the food. I think the whole flu theory makes sense, and they basically confirmed it in the beginning of Talking Dead. I didn't watch the whole TD show though. |

I think it's the black guy that got stuck under the shelf in the store in episode 1

Like they mentioned on talking dead, would the little girl have gone and gotten a ladder to get eye level with the walker to feed it and shine the light in it's face? I agree with Jason though, I think it's two different entities.
Last nights episode I feel was less exciting than the premier. I enjoyed seeing some character development with Michonne! She almost certainly had a baby, I really can't wait to find out about that. I understand the whole farmer Rick thing, but hopefully since he put the belt on he's going to go back to B.A. Rick. Glad he gave Carl his gun back. Do you have any guess on how the Govenor is going to turn back up? Glenn and Maggie. Not sure what is going on there, but I'd like them both to change their tampons. Maybe that explains Maggie's sudden frailness - maybe she has no need for a tampon for 9 months? Lastly *SPOILER* If you didn't see ALL of the talking dead - Don't look below!! The glimpse of next weeks episode - HOLY ZOMBIES!!!!! Holy crap that is insane! I didn't get a great look, but was a train blocking them in?

I need a reminder. What happened with the Governor last season? I thought they killed him, but I forget.
Why is the big black guy such a puss? Was the big black guy with the white girl who just died while they were at the Governors town or was that a different girl? It was his sister wasn't it? Is she the bad ass now? So cunfuseded. Who cares if someone is feeding the walkers a couple of rats? They make it seem like it is the fruit loop little girl. |

Tyrese is the big black guy, he showed up at the prison last season with a small group, left when Rick seemed a little crazy, and went to Woodbury. They came back to the prison when the rest of Woodbury did. I think the one black chick is his sister. |

The latest "hurricane machine" developed by engineering professor Forrest Masters will be deployed first to troubleshoot effective ways to deter wind-driven rain.
It's huge, deafening, and can muster a 130-mph wind capable of tearing off roofs and knocking down walls. But University of Florida engineers say they may first deploy a new 3,800-hp hurricane simulator to solve a more subtle problem: how wind-driven rain enters homes.
What engineers call "water intrusion" was a huge damage-producer during the 2004 and 2005 Florida storms. Although soffits have been identified as a leading cause, much remains uncertain about where to cast blame when windblown rain soaks wood floors, collapses ceilings, or damages drywall, says Forrest Masters, a UF assistant professor of civil and coastal engineering and lead designer of the new machine.
The machine, the world's most powerful such portable wind machine, can pelt windows and other components, as well as entire structures, with steady or intermittent bursts of wind and raindrops, mimicking real hurricanes. That should give engineers the chance to test walls, framing connections, windows, doors, and soffits — both how they perform together on an actual house and how they perform separately. "We have a water-intrusion issue, and we need a systems approach to identify the origin and mechanism of the intrusion," Masters explains.
This updated "hurrican machine" is the latest version of a growing arsenal of more and more massive hurricane simulators being produced by UF, Florida International University, and other research universities in the U.S. and Canada. It has eight 5-foot-tall industrial fans powered by four marine diesel engines. The engines get their cooling water from a 5,000-gallon water tank aboard the machine's tow vehicle, a tank that is also the source of the simulated rain. At full power, the fans produce winds of about 100 mph. A custom-built duct funnels the air, accelerating the wind to 130 mph, speeds equivalent to a Category 3
The UF engineers first tested the machine shortly before hurricane season began June 1. A few weeks later, Masters met with code officials and representatives from major window companies and test laboratories. He is now working with these representatives on a research agenda for the machine.
The wind engineers will also put the machine to use in myriad other investigations. One of the more surprising: how hurricane winds affect trees. Kurt Gurley, a UF associate professor of civil and coastal engineering, notes that the researchers plan to work with horticultural scientists to learn more about pruning trees for storm survivability. The goal goes beyond canopy protection, he says.
"If you could create some pruning policy for various species of tree that reduces how much wind they feel," he explains, "it would perhaps be nice preventive medicine for keeping power lines up longer." — Aaron Hoover

These are programs designed for academically qualified students (3.0 GPA or higher) to start their master's degree in their senior year enabling them to finish their graduate degree in one additional year.
Undergraduate students in civil engineering can start their master's degree in either civil engineering or engineering management. Undergraduate students in mechanical engineering can start their master's degree in mechanical engineering.
If accepted into the program, up to six credit hours of approved graduate courses may be applied toward both the bachelor's and master's degrees. Graduate courses, taken as undergraduates, would be fulfilling undergraduate engineering elective requirements. An additional six credits of graduate coursework may be taken as an undergraduate student and reserved for application to the master's degree. Thus, both the undergraduate and graduate degrees could be earned in five academic years. For more information, please refer to the catalog.

Heimbold Donnelley Theater
Free and Open to the Public
Please RSVP to Child Development Institute
(914) 395-2630
Gary W. Evans is the Elizabeth Lee Vincent Professor of Human Ecology at Cornell University. He is a developmental and environmental psychologist interested in how the physical environment affects children's development. Much of his work over the past two decades has focused on the environment of childhood poverty, examining how the accumulation of psychosocial and physical risk factor exposures among children influences their development.
Evans graduated from Colgate University in 1971 and then received an MS and a PhD in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. During two of those years, he also worked full time for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' Institute for the Environment, one of the first interdisciplinary, university-government think tanks in the nation devoted to environmental issues. From 1975 to 1992 he was on the faculty in the School of Social Ecology, University of California, Irvine before moving to his present position at Cornell University. He has done post-doctoral work in psychoneuroendocrinology at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm and on human development at Cornell University with support from a Senior National Research Service Award from the National Institute of Child Health and Development.
Evans has had continuous extramural funding for his research beginning with a National Science Foundation Dissertation Fellowship and has received numerous teaching awards throughout his career. He has written five books and authored over 300 scholarly papers and book chapters. He was a member of the John D. and Catherine T. Mac Arthur Foundation Network on Socioeconomic Status and Health and in 2006 received an Honorary Doctorate from Stockholm University. He currently serves on the Board on Children, Youth, and Families of the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine.

Christmas Past
Our Christmas tree in 1958 when I was 6 months old. That's me at the bottom, the bald headed baby gazing up at the tree.

Wow. That isn't simply gazing. That's a look of absolute amazement. Don't you wish Christmas held the same magic for us as adults as it did when we were small?

There are contraindications! Be sure to consult your doctor before taking any medication!
Spasmo-Urolong consists of Camylofin Hydrochloride, Nitrofurantoin.
Nitrofurantoin - A bacteriostatic or bactericidal agent depending on the concentration and susceptibility of the infecting organism. Spasmo-Urolong (Nitrofurantoin) is active against some gram positive organisms such as S. aureus, S. epidermidis, S. saprophyticus, Enterococcus faecalis, S. agalactiae, group D streptococci, viridians streptococci and Corynebacterium. Its spectrum of activity against gram negative organisms includes E. coli, Enterobacter, Neisseria, Salmonella and Shigella. It may be used as an alternative to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole for treating urinary tract infections though it may be less effective at eradicating vaginal bacteria. May also be used in females as prophylaxis against recurrent cystitis related to coitus. Spasmo-Urolong (Nitrofurantoin) is highly stable to the development of bacterial resistance, a property thought to be due to its multiplicity of mechanisms of action.
Indication: May be used as an alternative in the treatment of urinary tract infections. May be used by females pericoitally for prophylaxis against recurrent cystitis related to coitus.
Spasmo-Urolong (Nitrofurantoin) exhibits bacteriostatic or bactericidal effects by inhibiting the synthesis of DNA, RNA, protein and cell wall synthesis.

Bea Gurler was nine years old when her father George moved his family into the house in 1893. Her cousins, the children of her father's brother Henry, had been living since 1888 in the Ellwood Mansion. Everyone said it was magnificent. Bea's parents George and Zillah, evidently shared a taste in homes that favored the elegance of simplicity. It was the unimposing yet dignified structure on Pine Street–where the back door was always open. George and Henry Gurler were both prominent businessmen, and joint owners of a number of dairies. They quickly became world-famous and respected by many dairy farmers. Bea eventually made it a goal of hers to renovate The Gurler House to be the home that she once new and loved.

Stereo Crackling
I have a 94 Explorer with a Kenwood CD player in it. I noticed that on the left side, I get a lot of crackling through the speakers. It will do it for a while, then stop. I used a good quality install kit with the correct adaptors. If I wiggle the DIN plug, I can get it to crackle a few times. Any ideas on how to fix this?

sounds like you need to re-pin the speaker wires on the board the plugs into the back on the Kenwood

I think it's the DIN connector. If I wiggle it, it'll crackle. What is the small unit the DIN plugs into at the bottom of the dashboard? I may have to buy the section of cable that runs from the stereo to that unit. Or can I cut off the plug and wire up the speakers direct to the stereo?

Report: 49ers' Chris Culliver tears ACL, out for season
San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver tore his ACL in practice Thursday and will be out for the season, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Thursday.
The news is a significant blow for the 49ers. Culliver was carted off the field after suffering the injury during the team's afternoon practice on Thursday. He had been taken to Stanford hospital for an MRI.
Culliver's injury is part of a string of early-season bumps and bruises for the 49ers. Star linebacker Patrick Willis was injured on Wednesday, reportedly breaking his hand. He was wearing a cast on his hand Thursday. Star wide receivers Michael Crabtree and Mario Manningham are also expected to miss significant time this season.
BANKS: Greg Jennings not helping himself with quasi-apology
Culliver had 47 tackles, two interceptions and one forced fumble last season while playing primarily as the team's third cornerback. He was drafted in the third round out of South Carolina in 2011.
He caused a stir before the Super Bowl when he made derogatory remarks about the possibility of having a gay player in the NFL.
I'm told #49ers CB Chris Culliver tore his ACL today during practice. Terrible. A late MRI revealed the news.

Appliance Engineer - Cooking Efficiency Improving Range-Top Efficiency with Specialized Vessels
Greg Sorensen and David Zabrowski, Fisher-Nickel Inc.
Laboratory testing of two cooking vessel prototypes shows an increase in range-top cooking efficiency.
Figure 1. A standard 24-qt aluminum stockpot.
Range tops are one of the most widely used pieces of cooking equipment in commercial kitchens, but gas-fired models are notoriously inefficient. Typical energy efficiencies are 25–30% for standard gas range tops and 30–40% for high-efficiency gas range tops. While the range top may be used for a variety of tasks, the cooking process is always the same—the appliance provides heat to a cooking vessel from below.
There has been an enormous effort to increase the efficiency of gas range tops, but one major obstacle has always been the simplicity of the appliance itself. Unlike other cooking appliances, one cannot simply add insulation or upgrade the control technology to improve energy efficiency. Numerous designs have incorporated advanced burner types such as powered burners, sealed burners, and infrared burners, but none have achieved widespread success.
While many efforts to improve energy efficiency have focused on the appliance itself, gas-fired range-top cooking typically also involves another key element—cookware. The poor heat transfer from the flame to the cookware is mainly responsible for the inefficiency of gas cooking. The heat transfer is mainly convection heat transfer with some radiation heat transfer. The convection heat transfer coefficient is small, about an order of magnitude smaller than the thermal conduction coefficient in the cookware itself and in the typical liquid content inside the cookware. As a result, heat generated in the flame is not efficiently transferred to the pot before the flame escapes out to the side of the cookware due to buoyancy.
Possible solutions to improve the heat transfer from the flame to the cookware include the following:
Eneron Inc. has developed two unique pot designs that use aluminum fins to increase the surface area exposed to the burner flame, thereby maximizing the amount of heat transferred to the bottom of the pot. While this is not the first time a company has looked at the vessel as a variable, other research efforts focused on pot size and thickness, rather than advanced pot design.
Figure 2. Prototype design 1.
Testing and Methodology
Recently, the new stockpot designs were tested at the PG&E Food Service Technology Center located in San Ramon, CA, U.S. All findings were then translated into FSTC Report 5011.08.12, Eneron Inc. Prototype Commercial Stock Pot Testing, May 2008.
The engineers at the Food Service Technology Center documented cooking-energy efficiency and production capacity of three different range tops when using two prototype 24-qt stockpot designs. These results were compared with baseline numbers obtained using a standard 24-qt aluminum stockpot. The testing followed the controlled conditions outlined in the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F1521 Standard Test Method for Performance Range Tops.
The pot used for baseline testing was a 12-in.-diameter, aluminum stockpot with a capacity of 24 quarts. It was purchased off-the-shelf from a restaurant supply house and represented a typical cooking vessel designed for use on a commercial range top.
The first prototype stockpot was the same model as the standard pot, with the bottom modified to include 1⁄16-in.-wide aluminum fins. The fins were 5⁄8-in. high and spaced 1⁄8-in. apart. These parallel fins form heat exchange channels. The second prototype pot was designed with 1⁄8-in.-wide perpendicular grooves in the fins, producing a bottom of small rectangular fins.
Three ranges were used during testing. Range A and Range B employed an open ring-shaped burner, rated at 30,000 Btu/hr per unit. Range C employed a star-shaped burner, rated at 20,000 Btu/hr per unit. A ring burner emits flame in a concentric circular pattern, and a star burner emits flame in a traditional star pattern. While both ring burners were rated at 30,000 Btu/hr, they were slightly differing in design and produced unique flame patterns.
Three test runs were performed for each stockpot on each of the three range tops. The cooking-energy efficiency and production capacity were determined by heating 20 lb of water from 70° to 200°F. The results depicted in Table I are the average of three individual test runs for each pot-range combination.
For each range, the testing results showed a substantial improvement for the prototype stockpots over the standard stockpot design.
Figure 3. Prototype design 2.
Range C was rated at 20,000 Btu/hr per burner and, therefore, was expected to have longer heat-up times than the two 30,000 Btu/hr burner ranges (Range A and Range B). However, the results from Range C were the most impressive out of the three appliances, easily showing the largest improvements over the baseline levels with the prototype stockpots. In fact, Range C exhibited quicker heat-up times with the prototype stockpots than Range A, even though Range C had 30% less horsepower than Range A.
The next test conducted was a simmer energy-rate test to determine whether there are potential energy savings when using the prototype stockpots to simmer liquid at approximately 205°F (96°C) on Range C. To conduct the test, each stockpot was filled with 20 lb of water and placed on a burner. After raising the water temperature to 205°F, the lid was removed from the pot and the burner was adjusted to hold the water temperature at 205° ± 1°F. Time and energy was monitored for 1 hour to allow calculation of the simmer energy rate.
Both of the prototype stockpots allowed the burner to operate about 3100 Btu/hr lower than the standard pot while holding a steady simmer. Unlike the energy-efficiency tests, the results from the two prototype pot designs were nearly identical, presumably because of the much lower flame level on the burner. Table II represents the results of the simmer test.
Testing found that the pots' cooking efficiency varies based on the appliance used. This is because the flame profile plays a role in coupling the flame into the heat exchange channels; it needs to allow the flame to get in the channels (i.e., in between the fins to be able to fully utilize the increased surface area). Certain flame patterns will fit better with certain fin patterns.
Comparing the two prototype designs, the continuous fin structure pot will have better mechanical strength than the model with short fins. The continuous fin structure also provides better lateral heat transfer and improves the heating uniformity across the bottom of the cookware.
Pot under test.
The proposed stockpot designs proved to be a remarkably effective method of increasing range-top performance. Heat-up times were substantially reduced and production capacities increased. Energy performance was also significantly improved. By simply using an advanced pot design, the 25–30% energy efficiency of a standard, gas-fired range top was raised to more than 40%. When used on a range top with energy efficiency in the low 30s, the number approached 60%.
The benefits were not limited to full-input operation, as shown by the simmer tests. Less energy was required to maintain temperature, enabling a further increase in savings. While this test was done on stockpots, the same concept can be implemented on other types of cooking vessels, such as a griddle plate, for more-efficient gas-fired range-top cooking.
