Cook tops

- micki May 11, 2006 02:30 PM
I'm remodeling a kitchen in a brownstone and I have room for a 30", 4 burner (alas,no larger)cook top. I've never had a cook top before and was hoping that you might tell me what cook tops are the best in terms of burner output, ease of maintenance, etc. Cost is, thankfully, not a factor. I would appreciate as much information and detail as you are willing to give. Thanks
We have a viking, and it's great as a Wolf would be also, if they come in that size. Plenty of BTU's in both cases and easy to clean.
We put in a Viking in our new house and it warked excellently. I'm sure a Wolf would do just as well.
re: meb903
Sorry I didn't indicate it would be a gas cooktop with a hood exhaust not a downdraft. Again, any opinions both positive and negative given from personal experience would be very welcome. Thanks again.
re: beteez
Depends on how much of what kind of cookware you have, I think. I'd have to replace quite a few expensive pots and pans I've amassed over the years to be able to use an induction range.
I own a 36" gas viking with downdraft and love it. Two feature to check out when purchasing. Simmer mode. Many cooktops have poor performance on this feature. Ask your friends about theirs. Second is exhaust. Over is better than down but i have mine in center island and was limited and went down and give it a B+.
re: willow
Virtually all (I'd be inclined to simply say "all" but I'm sure someone would find an exception) gas ranges can be converted from natural gas to propane and vice-versa by changing the size of the orifices and adjusting the pressure regulator. It's a trivial task that any repairman and many competent homeowners can handle. There is a loss in output from the burners of about 10%, i.e., a burner rated at 10,000 BTU with NG will generally end up at around 9,000 BTU with propane. I'm not sure if there's a difference in flame temperature, which is not the same thing as heat output.
I've replaced the electric ranges in my last three homes with propane, most recently with a 48" Thermador dual fuel range (which I converted from NG to propane myself - took about a half hour) that I'm reasonably happy with. It's too bad that there's that unavoidable loss of output, but propane is still far superior to electric, and I find I rarely open my 15,000 BTU burners (that's the NG rating) all the way.
re: FlyFish
But how do you like your Thermador cooktop?
re: micki
I actually have the whole range - 6 burners and a griddle (all gas) on top and two electric ovens underneath. I believe, however, that they sell a cooktop that's essentially the same thing without the ovens. We bought the Thermador primarily because of the sealed burners, recognizing that because of that some claim the flame is not as intense (whatever that means - I would think one BTU is pretty much like another) and that sealed burners can only achieve very low heat by cycling on and off. The Thermador also seemed much sturdier - heavier doors and grates, e.g. - than the Viking, which was the other finalist.
After about two years with the range at this point, I really like the star-shaped burners and the heat output is more than enough for anything I need to do. The very heavy cast iron top grates are also a plus, as is the fact that the entire top of the range is flat - those two factors in combination make it very easy to move large pots and pans around. The sealed burners make cleanup a breeze. The electric ovens are fine, but I find I don't use the convection mode. The overall size is a great plus - it doesn't sound like there's a lot of difference between a standard 30" and a 48" range but in practice the difference is enormous.
I'm not particularly happy with the cycling simmer feature. It's only on two of the six burners and in order for it to work the burner is actually well above "low" when it's cycled on, which results in some uneven heating. I keep meaning to pick up a couple of "flame tamers" but haven't done so yet. I think that's going to be a better option.
We also got high-shelf back and the matching hood with lights and warming lamps and that really is beautiful product. The 1000 cfm blower is outside of the house, mounted on the roof via a 10-inch duct, and as a result the noise level is much reduced. Most of the time the low setting is plenty and on the high setting I have to be careful to open a door or window somewhere or (in winter) I'll actually reverse the flow in my fireplace!
If I were doing the whole thing over, I think I'd be inclined to take a closer look at Wolf, although I would certainly consider another Thermador. I haven't seen anything that makes me wish I'd bought the Viking.
re: FlyFish
Great info FlyFish.
As far as the Kenmore electric cooktop goes...a true chowhound would avoid this option at all cost. Especially when cost is not an issue.
Micki, I've owned several Dacor cooktops and free-standing ranges. They're great except for the electric start gas burners...not very reliable.
re: willow
I own a 48" Viking cooktop converted to propane and am very happy with it. Would I prefer natural gas? Sure I would but the trade-off of living in the beautiful boonies as I do is more than worth the loss of heating power.
re: Sherri
In addition to very high heat, I should add that the "simmer" feature on Viking cooktops is wonderful for its ability to sustain a very low flame. Making stock or keeping starchy food warm is a breeze. Other cooktops I tried required a simmer plate, flame-tamer or some other device to equal the low heat.
re: willow
As I stated below. we did not want to invest in propane just to cook with so we went with induction which is as powerful as gas & very controllable with very easy clean up. Nothing bakes on the cooktop.
We are planning a kitchen remodel in the very near future. I've read a little about induction cooktops and they sound like something I would like. If anyone has a 30" one, drop-in model, do you know if you have to have either an updraft or down draft vent? Presently, I have an older Jenn-air down draft, electric cooktop. Since there are no gas lines on our street, I have to have an electric cook-top but hate the length of time it takes to boil water (I'm only about 250 ft above sea level!) and the cook-top is in a center island with no possibility of a hood. So, is downdraft vent a requirement? Thanks for you help!

Magnetic inductance
|Magnetic circuits
Conventional magnetic circuits
Phasor magnetic circuits
Related concepts
Gyrator-capacitor model variables
- Magnetic inductance is not to be confused with "Magnetic induction", which usually refers to Magnetic field.
Magnetic inductance (inductive magnetic reactance) (SI Unit: -Ω−1) is a component in the gyrator-capacitor model for magnetic systems.
For phasor analysis the magnetic inductive reactance is:
- is the magnetic inductivity (SI Unit: -s·Ω-1)
- is the angular frequency of the magnetic circuit
In the complex form it is a positive imaginary number:
The magnetic potential energy sustained by magnetic inductivity varies with the frequency of oscillations in electric fields. The average power in a given period is equal to zero. Due to its dependence on frequency, magnetic inductance is mainly observable in magnetic circuits which operate at VHF and/or UHF frequencies.
The notion of magnetic inductivity is employed in analysis and computation of circuit behavior in the gyrator-capacitor model in a way analogous to inductance in electrical circuits.

Objective Reading of Loudness of a Sound Programme
An objective measure for audio level loudness is increasingly required by broadcasters in order to produce a homogeneous sound surface. 30 years ago, ISO issued a specification for a system that could produce an objective value of the equivalent loudness. The specification has had only a limited impact due to its complexity of implementation. By means of digital signal processing, a low-cost simple-to-operate system has been implemented in the DK-Audio master stereo display.

Raw celery and mushrooms, the danger of.
I've been getting some flak for eating raw celery and button mushrooms.
Something about psoralens and hydrazines.
Seems pretty minor to me.
Most everyone eats these vegetables raw anyway.
Anybody have a good refutation?
Guess we better contact all those country clubs still serving celery with cream cheese as their appetizer.
No need of a good refutation for me - your post is the only mention I've heard that there might be problem. Until my government's food standards agency raises a serious issue, I'm going to be continuing to eat raw celery and mushrooms (both are which are far better like that than cooked)
The compounds are dangerous. The raw foods do contain them. If you enjoy them, do continue to eat them. Whomever is giving you flak, ask them this simple question: In what concentration are the toxins a risk for me? I doubt you'll get an answer.
Every food has something that can kill you. It's not a question of whether or not something can be dangerous, but at what amount/concentration they become dangerous. I doubt you're eating enough raw celery and mushrooms to be significantly affected.
You can have a little fun with this. You can pick out a food that the person warning you likes and point out the potential dangers it has (and I guarantee that it has some).
re: ediblover
dig up a toxicity report on water, tape something over the header so they can't read what substance it is, and stand back.
This was an exercise in a seminar I took years ago about reading MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) when I worked for a chemical company...not only is it a little unnerving, but gives you a whole new perspective on such things.
also, though I lost the link, regarding the mushrooms..pubmed.gov states that even at maximum doses, when tested on rats, hydrazine was not found to be carcinogens and should be reevaluated:
" A similar study carried out in mice revealed no macroscopic evidence of a carcinogenic effect of hydrazine (histology currently in preparation). According to these results, hydrazine is only weakly carcinogenic even after lifelong ingestion of unequivocally toxic doses. The classification of hydrazine as a "carcinogen" should therefore be re-evaluated."
re: trolley
No, not just organic. I suspect it's just a generalized fearfulness and a dislike of raw foods.
My fear of raw celery has to do with biting down on a stalk and then the strands I fail to shear with my teeth vibrate my brain like Charlie Daniels' fiddle as I pull the stalk away. It's terrifying, worse than fingernails on a chalkboard.
I am fine with mirepoix and celery soup.
As to raw mushrooms, you can't find a decent peyote button anywhere anymore, so it doesn't matter.

AP Sports Writer
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- When the New York Giants made their run to the Super Bowl a year ago, a 99-yard touchdown catch and run by Victor Cruz against the Jets seemed to be the ignition point.
It was a play that woke up an inconsistent team and turned it into a power.
If the 52-27 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday turns out to be the victory that gets the Giants (8-5) going again, everyone is going to point to rookie David Wilson's 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown as the play that sparked the run.
Wilson re-energized the Giants with his electrifying run just 15 seconds after New Orleans returned an interception for an early score, and he didn't stop there. The first-round pick from Virginia Tech also ran for 100 yards and two more scores and piled up a team-record 327 all-purpose yards in a breakout performance that allowed New York to maintain a one-game lead over Washington and Dallas in the NFC East with three games to play.
"He made some huge plays today when we needed it the most and some were unexpected," said Cruz, who added eight catches for 121 yards and a touchdown. "We would watch him in practice just do amazing things, whether it be breaking plays or making some cuts that we only see guys that are Hall of Famers make. He's definitely the most athletic on the team and he made some big plays today."
It's been a long time coming. Wilson showed potential in training camp but fumbled in Dallas territory in the season opener and spent much of the last two months in Tom Coughlin's doghouse. His role is probably going to pick up with Ahmad Bradshaw now iffy with an injury to his left knee.
"To come up and have a breakout game like this is an excellent feeling," said Wilson, who became the first NFL player to have 200 yards in kickoff returns and 100 yards rushing in a game. "You want to have a good game every game. I went out there and my teammates went out there and we played great."
Wilson wasn't the only one. Eli Manning chipped in with four touchdown passes. The defense forced four turnovers by New Orleans (5-8), including two interceptions by Stevie Brown, and the kickoff return team accounted for a team-record 287 yards.
"A win is always good and a win is always a confidence booster and for us to go out there and play a full, dominant game with all three phases of the game, I think that speaks volumes for this team and what direction we're headed," safety Antrel Rolle said.
The performance came hours after Washington and Dallas rallied to win, requiring New York to win to stay in first place.
The loss all but ended the playoff hopes of Drew Brees and the Saints (5-8), who dropped their third straight game and had a three-game winning streak against the Giants snapped.
"We've shown the resolve and the resiliency to never give up," Saints cornerback Jabari Greer said. "We're not going to go that. This is football and sometimes you fall down. We fell down hard today. We're going to fight and never give up."
Manning had TD passes of 6 yards to Martellus Bennett, 5 yards to Domenik Hixon, 25 yards to Hakeem Nicks and 10 yards to Cruz. Wilson scored on runs of 6 and 52 yards and hit 100 yards on only 13 carries for the biggest day of his short career.
The 52 points are the most for the Giants since scoring 55 against Green Bay in 1986. It also was the most given up by New Orleans, whose defense is run by former New York coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
"I wouldn't say we're fragile," said linebacker Jonathan Vilma, whose fate for the balance of the season might be decided Tuesday when former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue hands down a decision on his Bountygate suspension appeal. "I wouldn't know what to call it. We're accustomed to finding ways to win. This year, we're just not good enough to overcome a lot of the mistakes. We have to be more conscious in games and more detail oriented in practice about how we handle our business on Sundays."
Darren Sproles scored on a 13-yard run and caught a 9-yard touchdown pass from Brees late in the third quarter, cutting the Giants' lead to 35-27.
However, Jerrel Jernigan returned the ensuing kickoff 60 yards to set up Manning's touchdown pass to Cruz. New York iced the game when Brown went 70 yards with his second pick to set up Lawrence Tynes' 39-yard field goal.

Don't let the snark get to you.
I still love you Brad, you sexy man, you!
Don't let the snark get to you.
but they are.
Good god this game is mad formulaic. Every place you go into, you kill a bunch of boring-ass zombies, then you have to do a LUDICROUSLY bad chase QTE and hten it's on to repeat that in the next mystery spot.
I am not getting why many people swear this is such a good game, because the only thing it's got going for it is a weird, ironic charm covered in layers of absolute crap.
Brad: "To everyone saying all our misfortunes are my fault, you can shove it up your f'ucking ass"
Brad: "Oh, I was thinking about tax paperwork I need to file later"
Fuck you Brad. There is another team, doing these videos, PROVING that it's all you!
*SMH* Thank you Ryan for saving this episode. The performance from "Zach" in this ER was just... Sorry "Zach", I rooted for the wall-crawling lady.
" I'm never reading the comments in the BR run ever again. Seriously, if you think it's necessary to be great at games in order to be a professional reviewer, you're crazy. Being a game journalist - or just a writer for media in general - is about having a deep knowledge of the medium, and being able to convey your thoughts and opinions in written word. Pulling off headshots does not make you a games journalist. Brad is one of the best writers in this industry and he's obviously good enough at playing games to finish them. That's the base-level skill requirement in my mind and anything more than that is completely superfluous. If you can find any example of Brad's frustration influencing his opinions of a game in a negative way, I'd love to see it, but as far as I can tell his reviews have been completely unaffected by any struggles he may have had with a game's difficulty. Brad rules; you people are crazy. "
Ahahaha, I laughed pretty hard at the very last part with Ryan.
"Oh goddamnit."
"Oh my god, ugh."
*mad cackling*
Also, the tax paperwork comment made me lol.
Can't wait for the next one when they come across the part with Dep. Willie.
oh, and WORST. EPISODE. EVER
" I can just hear Jeff shouting "RUN!" "TURN!" "SHOOT!" throughout this episode. That being said, I spent more time reading comments while the episode went on than actually watching the wall lady fights. "lol...That's what I did/am doing.
" Brad: "To everyone saying all our misfortunes are my fault, you can shove it up your f'ucking ass" ONLY TEN MINUTES LATER Brad: "Oh, I was thinking about tax paperwork I need to file later" Fuck you Brad. There is another team, doing these videos, PROVING that it's all you! "
Good job!
Don't worry brad, I still love you
To all the people out there that are complaining about Brad's play style or skill every single episode.
I have to ask this: Why the hell do you bother watching this in the first place then?
Just because Brad doesn't play games the way you would, or as well as you think he should, does not invalidate his credibility as a journalist and professional game reviewer. So to hang around and constantly bitch and complain just make you look like an ass. Move on.
You know, I'd have a lot more faith in Brad's ability to play this game if Vinny's Endurance Run didn't also exist. The fact that Vinny is more than successful where Brad fails hard says to me that Brad just isn't using his noggin. Nowhere is that more apparent than with the Wall Ladies. Vinny's figured them out. He stops, aims, pops, runs, repeats. DONE. Brad has trouble aiming and thinking on the fly. I don't hate him for it, and I've never played DP, so I can't say I'd do any better in practice. Still, it's frustrating to watch these Wall Lady episodes where Brad, after 20 hours, still has yet to adapt to the flawed gameplay.
You can sodomize me any day Brad. :3
Brad's "OH COMON!" made me lol
If you try to approach the game with "logic", you should be able to realize that you need to hit her more than once with the golf club to stop her from attacking. Just like it takes more than one 10mm bullet.
Having finished watching the VJ ER and now catching up on the BR ER, I have to say that if you combine Brad and Vinny's play styles, you might have the perfect gamer.
Vinny is irritatingly slow, patient, and conservative, poking in every corner, investigating every mechanic, being entirely too careful.
Brad is hilarious impatient, overly aggressive, and sometimes just doesn't pay attention. He ignores dialogue, doesn't pick up on patterns, and seems oblivious to why certain things happen.
If you were to combine these, you might have a player who is balanced, consistent, effective, and completely boring to watch.
As for Brad's particular play-style invalidating his reviews scores, that is ridiculous. If anything, it gives them more credibility because you know his play style. You know that if he says a game does a good job of teaching mechanics, explaining things, etc., you know it's true. On the other hand, if he says it doesn't, it means it doesn't for him and players like him.
For example, look at a school teacher. Every teacher is different and has a variety of types of students. Some students will learn material quickly and not understand why someone else doesn't get it. Others might be frustrated by the teachers habit of breezing through certain topics and not explaining them thoroughly. Every student, every gamer is different, every teacher is different, every game is different. Just because a mechanic is obvious to you doesn't mean it's obvious to everyone.
To me, it seems obvious to abuse the pattern of running by, turning around, and hitting with a melee weapon, to kill them quickly, safely, and consistently. But Brad doesn't notice it. Ryan doesn't either. Is he bad at games too? It even took Jeff and Vinny a while to notice it.
Brad isn't "bad" at games. He's just aggressive and impatient and sometimes that he struggles with certain types of games. Vinny is more patient and conservative, but by his own admission, it makes him struggle with fast-paced multiplayer gamers like Starcraft, a game that Brad is pretty good at.
Instead of harping on Brad or anyone on this site for "not being good", just accept that every gamer is different and knowing more about the gaming styles of the the reviewers you're reading means their reviews are more valuable.
Oh God, these wall ladies are by far the worst part of the game.
Ahhhhhhhhhrghh, Brad, use the god damned shotgun. lol.
I hate you
LOL they've gone so many episodes without seeing the raincoat killer and now he's back and as crazy as ever!
Poor Brad... All these comments badmouthing him. Anyway, its funny. Although I always cringe when they get angry at each other :P
After hearing Brad's DP vitriol on the GOTY podcasts, I think this may be the forty seven minutes most responsible. ;)
One of the absolute hardest to watch episodes in the entire ER series :)
Cant be THAT bad at video games, if he can get into Platinum on Starcraft 2... and that game has you do a ton of things at once.
@Phanman said:
Brad: "To everyone saying all our misfortunes are my fault, you can shove it up your f'ucking ass" Haha, that's funny due to the irony.
Aye that was still totally his fault. It was obvious that he would get hit when that crowbar died, if he had thought about it before doing it it wouldn't have happened.
If you can get through all of this without skipping ahead at any point, I genuinely salute you.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Since late September, burglars have hit more than 30 businesses in Salina, getting away with thousands of dollars in cash and merchandise. Salina Police are increasing the Crime Stoppers reward in hopes of catching the crooks.
A dentist office was most recently hit this week on Elmhurst Street. The thieves got in by breaking a back window. Once inside, they found the safe and were able to cut through it and get inside.
"We've had 31 burglaries and seven attempts," explained Lt. Scott Siemsen.
Salina Police have been working to catch the burglars and are hoping that a cash reward of $1,000 will do the trick.
"We have a lot of business owners concerned," Siemsen said. "The ones that have been hit and also ones that haven't. There is talk amongst them to see what they can do to stop this string of burglaries."
All of the recent burglaries have taken place at similar-type businesses. Places like doctor offices, dentist offices, chiropractors and insurance agents.
If you have any information, you can call Salina Crime Stoppers at (785) 825-TIPS.

Though you might guess that this dish was created in Switzerland, it actually hails from New York City. Chalet Swiss, a popular Manhattan restaurant of the mid-20th century, crafted this dish in 1966. It was instantly popular.

Loved the album had on cd over 10 years ago. But leant to someone and never got it back. Been tryin to find it in NZ stores but cant.

Statewide screening for 'bubble boy' disease begins
(AP) -- Statewide screening of newborns for 'bubble boy' disease started this month.
Wisconsin is first in the nation to add screening for the potentially deadly immune system disorder.
The state Laboratory of Hygiene and Children's Hospital of Wisconsin began experimental testing last year. The success of the experiment led to the expanded testing program.
Doctors say the disease can be cured with a bone marrow transplant if diagnosed within the first weeks or months of a child's life.
The state now tests for 48 disorders. The federal government's recommendation is 29.
An estimated 40 to 100 babies in the U.S. are diagnosed with the disease each year. The best-known victim is Houston's "bubble boy" who lived in a germ-proof enclosure until his death at age 12 in 1984.

Click Image To Visit SiteEveryone wants glowing younger looking skin and gets rid of wrinkles, age-spots and sagging skin. Women spend thousands of dollars every year on skin care products but do not get desired results. WHY?
1. Most of the products available in the market are chemical based and hardly have any natural ingredients Even if they claim to be natural; the quantity of natural ingredients is meager. That is why; these synthetic products have side effects. They may prove to solve some beauty issues but at the same time they may create a new problem for the user. Some of the famous brand products may provide temporary relief or treatment but they fail to provide long term glowing and beautiful skin.

Don't Quote Me: Mary Cheney's Baby
The bizarre and sordid history of cooperation between Mary and Dick Cheney and Christian conservatives is very well documented, as are the effects that their love triangle has had on American politics and, more to the point, Americans. Now Mary wants us to believe that she's never sought endorsement from Dobson?
Excuse me while I fight off the killer tomatoes that have just marched into my backyard.
Mary might not have asked for Dobson's permission to get pregnant, but she certainly counted on his endorsement in the past, as did her father. The Cheneys have been playing politics with Christians at the expense of gays and lesbians for years, treating us as if we are, collectively, a commodity — and it's long past time for us to tell them that the game is over.
It's also past time that journalists, especially those of Wolf Blitzer's caliber, ignore Dick and Mary's newest motto — "What happens at the Cheneys' stays at the Cheneys'†— and stop worrying about their privacy. Dick Cheney is the vice president of the United States, for crying out loud, not a contestant on I've Got a Secret. And Mary Cheney gave up her right to privacy when she entered the political arena and ran her father's 2004 re-election campaign.
I have great admiration for Blitzer, but I think he was out to lunch when it came to balancing Cheney's power and position with his own power, experience and most importantly, his obligations as a journalist. Blitzer put Cheney's comfort level ahead of the public's right to know how Cheney feels about being wedged by one of his own party's wedge issues.
Instead of congratulating Cheney on having another grandchild after the vice president refused to respond to the criticism of Mary by a conservative Christian group, Blitzer should have said this: "I know you think the world of your daughter, sir, but you've made it clear to lesbians all over America that you don't think much of them. You owe the entire gay community an explanation as to why you believe your daughter would be a fit mother, but support the belief that other lesbians and gay men are unfit to raise children.â€
But he didn't, and he blew it.
The question now is: Will anyone in the media besides Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have the guts to remind Dick and Mary of all the children and families their party has used as props in debates without any objection from them?
Good God, let's hope so. And speaking of God, if He, in his infinite and divine wisdom and sense of irony, can deliver a baby unto Mary, the least we can do is offer up incense with the mirth.
And truth.
Although it's not all that obvious these days, the main obligation of the media is to truth, not to people in high places who consider themselves above scrutiny and criticism. The media's duty to the public and its role when it comes to deciding whether or not to intrude on the personal life of a public figure is clear. It's even spelled out in the Code of Ethics of the Society of Professional Journalists:
Members of the Society of Professional Journalists believe that public enlightenment is the forerunner of justice and the foundation of democracy. The duty of the journalist is to further those ends by seeking truth and providing a fair and comprehensive account of events and issues …
[Journalists should] recognize that private people have a greater right to control information about themselves than do public officials and others who seek power, influence or attention. Only an overriding public need can justify intrusion into anyone's privacy …
[Journalists should] be vigilant and courageous about holding those with power accountable.
You don't have to be gay or lesbian to admit that in this case, "an overriding public need†justifies intrusion into the Cheneys' privacy. You simply have to acknowledge that the Cheneys are, indeed, people " who seek power, influence or attention†and that the entire country has been affected by their efforts — even if one or both eventually regrets those efforts or, as in Mary's case, acts in contradiction of them.

|Is the Rosary Always the Right Political Message?
|By Austin Ruse
|Friday, 11 July 2014
Politics these days is about capturing the narrative. What is the story received by the public? Is it our story or theirs? To take just one example: the "War on Women" is one of the great narrative thefts of all time.
The reproductive rights radicals have long understood that the Catholic Church is their enemy. They have also recognized the utility of old and nasty prejudices, chief among them anti-Catholicism. Couple anti-Catholicism with the charge that old white men in robes will dictate our reproductive lives, and you have a pretty potent message.
Because of this, savvy Catholics, including several bishops, have understood that not everything has to be drowned in holy water. No longer do we cite Scripture and hardly even papal encyclicals. These may certainly inform our inner lives and our convictions, but they are not the most potent element in swaying voters.
And here an important distinction must be made. What is good for religion, what is good for your soul and others, is not always what is most effective in politics. This is not to denigrate the faith, merely to state a fact.
The conundrum here is that the pro-life movement is still largely Catholic. Go to the March for Life and you'll see images of the Blessed Mary everywhere, and crowds of kids reciting the Rosary. What motivates most pro-lifers is not science, but faith.
But pro-lifers have come to understand they must speak the lingua franca of our age and, therefore, have learned science. In fact, in most debates today you hear faithful Christians citing science – biology, embryology, genetics, and much else – while abortion absolutists cite Scripture in order to goad pro-lifers into revealing their "true motivations."
Now, the media want to retain the old narrative, old white men in robes, blah blah blah. So when you get a bunch of young women out there holding pro-life signs and then off to one side is an old white man holding up a Rosary, which picture do they take? The one that maintains their narrative, not ours.
On the very day that the Hobby Lobby decision was handed down, our side absolutely dominated the front of the Supreme Court. Some who were there say our side has never been better organized in front of the Court. First, we had the stairs right in front. News photographers want that picture of protestors with the Court behind them. Our side got there early enough to set up in the prime position.
We had drums and chants. We hardly ever have chants good enough or crowds large enough to drown out the other side. But on Hobby Lobby day, we did. And the other thing we had was the narrative. Our narrative is that young women support religious freedom and that young women oppose the contraceptive and abortifacient mandate. So it helped that, in front of the Court, was a long line of beautiful, young, pro-life women.
They were laughing and singing and chanting and honestly looking quite fetching compared to the often-slovenly sexual left. It must have broken the hearts of the photographers that they did not have some old white men with Rosaries!
Then, all of a sudden, they did. Not an old man but a young one, in a business suit, walked up and plopped himself right in front of these women and their signs. He whipped out, you guessed it, a Rosary and began praying. The news photographers giddily fired away. At long last the narrative they longed for. They even got a picture of a young lady standing beside him with the sign "Keep your Rosaries off my Ovaries." It was perfect – but how last century, how very "war on women."
Michael Hichborn, a very fine man, runs the Defend the Faith Program at American Life League, and I do not question his belief that a man praying the Rosary was the most effective political message to have been delivered that day. His American Life League colleague Rey Flores wrote a column at LifeSite that explained their thinking:
It is hard to think that he was not seeking attention, maybe not for himself but certainly for his message. After all, he could have said the Rosary off to one side, behind the cameras. Or in his car driving to the event, as my wife did, who was one of the "preening" speakers at the press conference. I suspect that most of the women behind the banners who were whooping up the crowd also said the Rosary that morning.
I have said the Rosary every day for more than twenty years. It is the most effective tool in our arsenal. And it is the best prayer in front of abortion clinics, where I have also said it.
But was it the best message in front of the Supreme Court that day? Was it the best message to convey to millions of Americans who may fear that we are nothing more than the Catholic Church trying to impose our faith on them?
I have to think that even the Blessed Mother would agree that sometimes the shiny faces of happy young women is more effective politically than even that most sublime Rosary.

Widgi Toolbar is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) from Spigot inc., which can also be categorized as adware. It is presented as one of Internet Explorer components and, in most cases, downloaded together with IE updates. However, it may also appear on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and any other web browser without any permission asked. As soon as it enters computer, it starts messing it up by displaying continuous pop-up ads. Besides, it may start slowing down the system or return altered search results and then redirect you to unfamiliar websites. We don't recommend ignoring Widgi Toolbar redirects because they may trick you into visiting dangerous sites and make you to install more potentially unwanted programs on the system. So, no matter that technically this program is not a virus, you should be very careful with it. We recommend you to remove Widgi Toolbar Platform from computer.
You can download this application from the Internet just like any other application. It is available at download, cnet and other download sites. However, Widgi Toolbar virus can also infiltrate your computer unnoticed because it's actively spread in a bundle with freeware and shareware. In order to prevent its infiltration, you should be very careful when downloading free programs from the Internet. Instead of clicking the "Next" button until the "Finish" comes up and letting Widgi Toolbar hijack your browsers, you should choose Custom or Advanced installation and then deselect all unfamiliar check marks that typically agree with the installation of various toolbars, extensions, plugins and add-ons.
If Widgi Toolbar infiltrated your computer, you shouldn't leave it there because it may initiate various annoying and dangerous activities on it. In order to avoid misleading pop-up ads and security-related issues, you should follow these instructions:
You can remove Widgi Toolbar automatically with a help of one of these programs: SpyHunter, STOPzilla, Malwarebytes Anti Malware. We recommend these applications because they can easily delete potentially unwanted programs and viruses with all their files and registry entries that are related to them.
Uninstall Widgi Toolbar and related programs
If you are Windows 8 user, then right-click in the lower left corner of the screen. Once Quick Access Menu shows up, select Control Panel and Uninstall a Program.
If you are using OS X, click Go button at the top left of the screen and select Applications.
Wait until you see Applications folder and look for Widgi Toolbar or any other suspicious programs on it. Now right click on every of such entries and select Move to Trash.
Remove Widgi Toolbar from each of your web browsersInternet Explorer Mozilla Firefox Google Chrome Safari Remove dangerous add-ons
Adware is a program that displays advertisements while people are browsing online. Advertisements appear in a web browser, pop-up windows, special toolbars or within the host program. Adware also can gather information about user's habits and interests. Once it collects what it needs, it sends it out through a background Internet connection. Such behavior allows adware vendors to deliver targeted advertisements to the end user and collect general statistics. However, it may also be used for stealing people's private data.
Adware is divided into parasitical and legitimate applications. Illegal advertising programs are very similar to spyware parasites and often have some of their functions. They can be installed without user's knowledge and start working every time a computer is rebooted. However, they are less dangerous than rogues because the most of such parasites are primarily intended to collect user's personal information for marketing and advertising purposes. Unfortunately, you can never know what other purposes it can be used for.
Symptoms showing that your computer was infected by Widgi Toolbar:
• Appearance of annoying pop-up ads
• Appearance of banners and in-text ads
• Redirects to unknown and suspicious websites
• Changes in homepage and default search engine
• Decreased speed of every Internet browser
QR is short for Quick Response. They can be read quickly by the mobile phones. QR codes can store more data than
standard barcodes, including url links, geo coordinates, and text.
The reason we add QR code to the website is that parasites like Widgi Toolbar are really hard to remove on infected computer. you can quicly scan the QR code with your mobile device and have manual removal instructions to uninstall Widgi Toolbar right in your pocket.
Simply use the QR scanner and read removal instructions from mobile device.

May still have issues with internet radio... don't know about that.
Printable View
Just put up another version. Finished the mixer, and worked on confirm and playlists
Also this version doesn't have the messed up general.ini. I'm getting better at working through skins while at work... also really slow days help. :-D
Now if only I could be outside working on the actual car!
Another file uploaded. Working on the setting screen, dealing with font colours and dimmer.
Setting up "profiles" for night and day.
Any feedback from the people that have been downloading it? I know the different versions have been downloaded a few times.
Gonna be putting the PC/screen back in the car this weekend so I'll be able to upgrade it and see how things are actually in the car rather than my work PC.
What am I missing? I'm sure last time I installed a skin, it just worked... Is there something else I need to do?
Sorry for the late response - guess I don't have email notifications.
You may need to install the font used, but that should only be for layout issues - but beyond that I'm not sure, as buttons should work without the font.
Can you try on another PC? Which OS, version of RR and plugins do you have installed? Does Carwings work?
Here is the font - Attachment 68386
post or PM me if you have more problems
Well there comes a time when the daily driver needs to be replaced. This also means that the carPC was removed, and is not going into the new car.
I will release the final updates that I created for anyone that wants it. And to think I was really coming along with the design work of it... changing it even more than the last update.
Here it is - https://www.box.com/s/ibgopzf3t2r7ifv8ulhc - last edited
Also includes the PDN files that I started to use instead of always updating the PNG. So PaintDotNet if you want to customize.
Currently no plans for the carPC... will see how my other projects go... maybe add it into the Fiero as a toy? If I do it probably won't use this PC or skin.
Thanks for the help and support Gizmo
