Gastropod - Vancouver
- girlwithafork Apr 6, 2008 10:53 PM
Did Gastropod recently. (kinda sounds like a medical procedure, no? maybe a small digital device to listen to your digestive noises? ... I digress) Very nice. Food porn, but if you are into that there's some very clever stuff going on there. Some sous-vide practices. Always interesting tastes, textures, colours. Restaurant food for both sides of the brain. The menu lists 3, 5 and 8 course tasting menus but all items also show a la carte prices. Friendly, adept service. It's one of those places you could probably just close your menu, trust the chef to send out what he wants, and have a great time. That's rare.
Overheard the next table asking their server about the foie gras demonstrators right outside the floor to ceiling front windows. There is one, tiny piece of foie gras terrine on one, solitary appetizer. Plus the restaurant supports the Vancouver Aquarium's Ocean Wise program. Seems a little unfair. Especially since the chef has invited the protesters in for coffee to discuss their concerns. They refused. As a non-Vancouverite I gotta ask ... is this foie gras demonstration thing common or are they just picking on G-Pod?
Anyhoots .... liked it lots. Do y'all like to dine like this?
The protesters are picking on Gastropod and Fuel. They are a little misguided, IMO.
I've eaten at Fuel (I had Foie Gras Torchon there) but I have not yet been to Gastropod. It is on my list.
It's a pretty sensitive issue...since certain Foie Gras producers have a bad reputation for abusing their animals. Some producers are making "faux gras" - fatty liver made by naturally fattening without resorting to the gavage technique ("force feeding"). It's about twice the price since you can only get one harvest a year. Even so, some experts state that gavage doesn't truly harm the animals - but it looks like it does. You'll get opinions to the contrary, of course.
>>Anyhoots .... liked it lots. Do y'all like to dine like this?
Yes. I really like restaurants that use these cutting edge techniques (molecular gastronomy, sous vide, etc). Rare (if they re-open) is another good place to eat this kind of food.
re: fmed
I live a block away and this is the first I've heard of these 'demonstrations', probably because I rarely walk on the south side of the 1900 block W 4th.
The practice of using a front window counter as a slaughterhouse puts me right off and I never even go near any place I find disgusting.
re: Sam Salmon
Sam, that's just at Fuel.
I haven't been there either but right next door at G-pod is a very elegant but still warm room.
I love eating at Gastropod and I love the seats at the bar - sooooo comfy!
And as far as I'm aware it was one protest on one day. But I could be wrong
Folks, our goal on this board is to keep the discussion focused on sharing tips on where to find great chow. The issue of foie gras production is off topic here, so please keep your responses focused on what you think of the chow at Gastropod, not the politics surrounding the menu and demonstrations. We've removed posts that were focused on the protestors, and tried to leave up those that contained any on topic opinions -- but from here on out, please focus on the chow. Thanks.
re: ChristineEats
Certainly reviews are mixed and overall the service takes a beating-or is the customers being beaten on?
re: ChristineEats
I ate at Gastropod on my last visit to Vancouver at it was one of the highlights of my visit. Of course, as e-gulleter Sam Salmon can tell you, I'm in Calgary, which means I have horrible taste.
re: ChristineEats
ChristineEats, what have you had there that you disliked? More detail about your meal(s) would be helpful.
re: Chris VR
Truthfully, the trio duck appetizer was disappointing, even though the server claimed it to be sous vide, it was lacking to my expectations. Luckily, I had the apple tart for dessert to cleanse my palate of a funny lingering liver taste.
All in all, if I had to choose another starter, it would have been the carrot soup with lavender foam.
re: ChristineEats
I also had the appetizer and I agree with Christine eats about the after taste. I think the liver was perhaps a tad undercooked or simply not very fresh. And the show outside...well, it certainly didn't make it go down any smoother. Thank goddess for the delightful La Frenz pinot noir for refreshing my tainted palate.
The Chocolate Fondant was to die for.

Ariston® BQ font family
Martin Wilke
Wilke was initially interested in painting, drawing, and typeface design, but his tendency toward typefaces gradually overshadowed the others. Inflation eventually made further study impossible for him. He showed his modest collection of typefaces to Wilhelm H. Deffke, who studied them closely and said, "Look at how you press into the paper..." He had apparently noticed the determination behind Wilke's efforts. Wilke worked for and with him for two years, and after a year-long assistent position in the studio of Prof. O.H.W. Hadanks, returned for another three years.Ariston® BQ. Before 1939, Wilke also finished the brush typeface Caprice®, and broad-tipped pen typeface Diskus™. After 1945 came the brush typeface Palette® , the script typeface Piccadilly, the broad-tipped pen typeface Berolina™, the sans serif Essentia, the decorative typefaces Moira and Halftone and finally Konzept, written with a felt-tipped pen. The Wilke™ was designed in 1988 and is a transitional serif typeface available in six weights, including small caps for the regular weight.

BBC Newsnightmare: Opera chief brought in as new DG
The BBC has brought in its one-time head of news to succeed George Entwistle as the Corporation's new director-general, after the previous incumbent lasted just 54 days in the job. Tony Hall, who is currently the boss of the Royal Opera House, has been hired for the £450,000 per year gig, the BBC Trust confirmed in a statement …
> hired for the £450,000 per year gig
Don't you mean £450,000 for two month's work?
was actually more - you forgot his two months paypacket at around 60k so total for two months was £510k.
Which is outrageous for a public sector job.
What we need about now is a new discussion on the future of the license fee.
What is an acceptable upper limit for any public sector job then?
Re: @exexpat
If it is anything like what the actual factory grunt is getting it is part time work at minimal pay. But a temp factory hand is expected to make things. not break things.
"you forgot his two months paypacket at around 60k so total for two months was £510k."
I think that you haven't put yourself in his shoes. Imagine you get promoted at work, in your large conglomerate, and get the top job. Obviously you've not been the public face of Bigcorp before, so that's all a bit new to you. There's an onging scandal rumbling on, driven by events that happened two decades earlier, and the decision to shelve a product (the sort of decision being made all the time in any such business).
Then, somewhere in the bowels of the large and complex business you work for, a junior employee fucks up, and a gasket blows, causing mucho damage. You're barely eight weeks into the job, and you are pressured to resign, before you've even left a buttock impression in the leather chair. Now, would you think, "Ooh yes, I'll resign without compensation, for something that I certainly am accountable for, even if I've not been truly responsible for, and haven't had the chance to address". I don't think you would. I think you'd be going (like I would) "Whine, whine, whine, it's so not fair!" and you'd want to get some form of compensation for being hounded out of an office you've not yet made your own.
Possibly he'll walk into another job, but he's not going to walk into anything as majestic as the DG role, and it is possible that he may never get another senior job because he is (for the most part) unfairly tainted.
My personal views are not terribly supportive of the Bolshevik Broadcasting Corporation, but Entwhistle walked into a shit storm, was not allowed the opportunity to address it, and that's his career mangled. I've worked with somebody who had something like an "Entwhistle" experience, and five years after the event they've still not worked, and probably will never work again in a normal salaried job.
If they didn't want to pay him off, then they should have required him to stay and made him sort it out.
One day
One day perhaps we'll find this kind of establishment post occupied by a man or woman whose background is not a single sex private school, someone who has grown up somewhere closer to the real world than so many of these characters have experienced in their eary years. Hey but at least its not another Etonian appointment.
Re: One day
no chance!
A state school education?
Real world experience?
Very little chance of that ever happening, look at the prats running the country.... this is just the BBC!
Re: One day
Greg Dyke, you mean?
Re: One day
Why is a school's sexual orientation grounds for discrimination?
What is it about where school funding comes from (given neither state nor public schools are funded by the students) which disqualifies students from holding particular jobs many, many years after they have left?
Have we really relapsed into 70's-style class war?
Re: One day
"Why is a school's sexual orientation grounds for discrimination?".
It's not, IMO. I've met many people from a variety of schools (private, public, state-funded, single sex and mixed sex). In all, you get people who are brilliant, and you get people who are idiots.
Money for nothing?
Still don't understand why the Beeb had to pay McAlpine given that they never named him.
Re: Money for nothing?
Because It still counts as libel if they gave out enough information that people could work out who was being talked about. Given that his name was all over the place more or less immediately they did.
Re: Money for nothing?
And if I remember correctly they subsequently admitted it was him they were talking about, even though they didn't name him.
Patten on the run?
He's the Chair of the trust and he 'wasn't around' for interviewing to the post of DG?
is it now compulsory at the BBC for everyone to explain how they are not responsible for the things they are paid to be responsible for?
He should be the next one out the door along with the rest of the trust. The arse-covering, whitewashing responsibility dodging management culture always devolves downwards and this lot are the top of the pile.
Re: Patten on the run?
No, it was _Hall_ who was unavailable for interview last time the DG job was vacant.
IOW, Entwhistle was at best second choice, and potentially, it could have been Hall getting the fat payoff.
Re: Patten on the run?
Ah - OK I misread that.
My opinion about poor management culture flowing downhill still stands. The trust should be made to answer for why they have allowed the BBC to slide into such a mire.
Re: Patten on the run? - a pedant explains
"Patten explained that he hadn't been available during the previous round of interviews that eventually landed Entwistle the job"
I actually didn't misread that - I read exactly what was written and it is not even ambiguous - the only possible meaning of the sentence is that Patten wasn't available.
Back to writing school for you Fiveash.
Re: Patten on the run?
>> The peer was the only person approached by the trust with an offer to take the DG gig.
There's Fat Pang in action for you. So while I would not quite say that Pang is on the run right now, if things don't get better PDQ (I won't ask How?) then he will have to walk.
Re: Patten on the run? - a pedant explains
> the only possible meaning of the sentence is that Patten wasn't available.
Not so.
You're interpreting "he" as a reflexive. That is one possible meaning, or else it could refer to someone referred to in the previous sentence - namely "the peer", meaning Lord Hall.
> Back to writing school for you Fiveash
Back to reading school for you, Millar.
Re: Patten on the run? - a pedant explains
Yes - so long as "Patten" hadn't been mentioned between "the peer" and "he". You should only use a pronoun to refer to a previous sentence or clause if there isn't a subject in the current sentence or clause which could be the target.
Back to grammar school for you Vic.
Re: Patten on the run? - a pedant explains
> You should only use a pronoun ...
Your statement is entirely incorrect.
Oh, _that_ Opera... I thought there was an IT angle for a moment...
Pity the previous DG wasn't called Fox. Could have been a superb headline.
Choked too, until I found out it has some other minor meaning too. Damn you El Reg.

But I don't suppose he'd want his old job back, anyway.
Hopefully he will do something about their tech "journelism"
That's basically a pen for hire.
RCJ and his band of merry shills.
Re: Hopefully he will do something about their tech "journelism"
I hope he does something about the appalling quality of the news feeds coming out of BBC news now. I tend to read the BBC on their iOS app, and there are so many missing words, misspelled words, truncated paragraphs etc. And it didn't used to be like that 6 months ago.
No, that's the Gurdiad
See title
Re: Hopefully he will do something about their tech "journelism"
Their tech journalism is pretty pathetic. The number of inconsistencies, mistakes, and misunderstandings is pretty bad. It's Gadget Show level.
>That broadcast led to Entwistle's underdoing
Do you perhaps mean 'undoing'?
"good broadcaster" is only in their own minds
I'll take this opportunity to make my own comments about the awful state of journaism at the BBC.
No in-depth reporting, and when the 24 hour channel came in, I thought that's what it would do.
Very little quality news reporting from overseas - maybe that's down to the johnny foreigner attitudes that infest London and the southeast nowadays. Unless it's stories from the USA - then they get the full red carpet treatment, hour after hour, day after day.
Lots of people see bias in their reporting, political bias. Far be it from me to suggest they employ people on the basis of "who you know" - but if the hat fits ....
The BBC spends a fortune on celebrities and broadcasting that commercial channels do very well - entertainment, sports - and also a fortune on the "period drama" no doubt hugely beneficial to the luvvies who would not get employment anywhere else.
But what they were set up to do - inform, be a pillar of light and all that - they have forgotten about in recent years.
Root and branch overhaul, weed out the hangers on, slim down the management, get back to basics. And bring in some professionalism and honesty amongst their workers.

The members of the altrock trio Carnival Waste sit outside a local Starbucks, sipping coffee just before closing time. Cars rush by on darkened U.S. 1 as the musicians try to agree on the cover art for ... A Perfect Day, their forthcoming album. The South Florida band's frontman-keyboardist Robert J. Escandon has designed several options, each a variation of his illustration of a gray, robotlike machine tearing through colorful flowers against a blue sky. The 22-year-old hunches over his sketchbook and wrestles to hold down computer printouts of his mockups as gusts of wind from passing cars rustle the pages. Escandon is all mass: He stands six feet five inches with thick arms and wide shoulders. A small silver ring pierces his left eyebrow. He suggests that inside the jewel box, the artwork should look like lined notebook paper.
"Kind of like Pearl Jam's 10," offers bassist, guitarist, and drum programmer Arnaldo Gonzalez, who also is 22 years old. He wears glasses and a heavy pullover to protect his thin frame from the blustery night air.
"Aw, don't tell me that," Escandon winces, with a tinge of disgust in his voice. "I don't want to hear it," agrees 24-year-old Ashley Cortes, the group's keyboardist, shaking her short, blond-streaked burgundy hair.
The members of Carnival Waste are proud of their outsider, antipop stance. In fact the band is all about being less than mainstream. "If anything sounds like something from another band, we will not do it," Escandon says of the group's songwriting process. "The worst thing in the world is a rip-off band."
Comparing Carnival Waste's music to that of other bands is therefore a difficult task, but it often resembles the abstract alternatives of Blonde Redhead or His Name Is Alive. The band's songs shimmer with a dynamic sense of drama and fear yet maintain a playfulness through the members' love of the Casio keyboard, recalling the hyperactive darkness of Wall of Voodoo.
But Carnival Waste is not all about electronics. Aggressive guitar-fuzz moments speak to Escandon's appreciation of heavier rock such as Tool, Bush, and Mr. Bungle. He also admits to an affinity for soundtrack music, which surfaces during Carnival Waste's more dramatic moments: If Devo scored a spaghetti Western, it would probably sound like "Blood Beach" from the band's self-released debut CD, Delicato Truffa.
That record also includes "Surgical Tortoise," the band's homage to the Chicago postrock outfit Tortoise. Carnival Waste doesn't simply mimic the famed instrumental outfit but offers a crash course, with almost cartoonish brevity, in the band's unique elements: plaintive vibes, shimmering guitars, hyper polyrhythms, decorative percussion, airy organs, and driving bass lines. But Carnival Waste also has added its own touches: Escandon's wild vocal range, which varies from creepy whispers to breathy vocals (sung in Italian) to scat singing, and Gonzalez's supplemental shrieks and fierce lashes on his guitar.
There's a playfulness in "The New Style." Its languid, lush guitar strums turn into a perky bass line and bright, airy keyboard melody while Escandon robotically intones "ba-da-ba-ba-da" as the melodies layer up and bound along for another minute. Then "Rough Days Ahead" pounds a happy little ditty into submission with lead-weight guitar lines. Escandon starts singing in a nasally tenor as weirdly processed laughter hovers in the background and a percussive piano melody and quirky guitar line thud along. "I wish I had your life/I wish I was you," Escandon sings in a dreamy tenor. Then -- adopting an alternate personality -- he screams with throat-shredding abandon: "But you're fucking not!" A mournful sax solo by Escandon takes over, and then some buzzing electronic effects drench the melancholy moment until Gonzalez starts hitting those chunky guitar notes and Escandon lets rip a perky, squeaking solo on his keyboard.
Live, the group has a stage presence as dramatically perplexing as its music. At a recent show at Tobacco Road, Escandon took center stage behind a wall of keyboards, samplers, drum machines, and distortion pedals. He sweated profusely, his face reddened, his eyes turned to the sky, and his body shook as he twiddled knobs and his voice reached for a few screechingly high notes. The other members remained in the background. Gonzalez played bass in a set spot behind Escandon, stage right, with a clutter of effects pedals at his feet. Next to him stood Guillermo Azuarte, a friend of Gonzalez who occasionally adds guitar for the band during live performances. Stage left, Cortes was practically hidden behind her large Casio. You noticed she was there only after Escandon turned around to give her a thumbs-up between songs.
The genesis of Carnival Waste occurred while Escandon was studying at the University of Florida, following stints as a back-up musician in several experimental bands in Miami while still in high school. In Gainesville he met Cortes and asked her to tap into her dormant keyboard talents. In October 1999 the band officially formed when guitarist Vincent Faller and bassist Gonzalez joined. All except Faller returned to their original hometown of Miami last summer, when they graduated from UF.
The band had been playing in South Florida only three months when Juan Montoya of Disconnect and Carl Ferrari of Swivel Stick, two respected local altrock guitarists, caught Carnival Waste's live show and invited the group to perform with their respective bands. "I don't know what kind of music they're trying to do, but it's not like anything else that I've seen around here," Ferrari says. "They just seem to be following their own creative process. Nine times out of ten, when you see a band play, you can right away pick out who they're trying to sound like, which most of the time is a bad thing. It just seems to me [Carnival Waste is] original. They're doing something different."

Hi Webmaster,
Here is a picture of me that my friend took while I was totally wasted! We were partying hard and having a great time when she started daring me to do crazy things: Dance on a speaker, drink 5 shots in a row etc... This was one of them, to pull my pants down for a picture. After I id I hear alot of hollering from people in the place. It was my most daring thing ever. - KC

|Got this scratching post for my two little kittens and they havnt left it alone since I bought it its very good quality for the price and they play on it all day im very happy
|Excellent value and quality Easy to assembly Well written instructions Looks super Soft and safe Thank you Pet Planet x29
|My two adult cats love this I have a much bigger activity centre in the living room This is a second one chosen to fit neatly in the corner of the back room and is high enough for them to see out of the window and get a more dominant position in the room as there is nothign else for tjhem to climb on in there They watch the world go by and use the scratchy posts all the time They are a bit too big for the tunnel underneath though Service from Cat planet was excellent
|My 2 kittens love this centre first one was damaged but pet planet despatched another one and got it the next day excellent service.
|My cat Mittens enjoys sitting up high watching her world and this cat tree has it all. Soft fluffy fur high enough vantage point to view her domain scratching posts to spare. Plus it looks good in the lounge too. Its a winner. The only criticism I had is the instruction sheet didn't tell me to start building from the top down and not from the bottom up so I wasted 15 minutes construction time undoing it and starting again.
|This arrived today together with two Catit Design Senses Play Circuits My sisters two 3year old cats had great fun while we were building the tree which was an easy task However once built they were more excited about the play circuits The tree is very sturdy and attractive Large enough to amuse the cats but not obtrusive in the small living room I have no doubt that the cats will love this tree as soon as the excitement for the other two products die down

We wanted to create a neighborhood restaurant that was casual yet offered great food- comfortable yet elegant enough for a special occasion. We focus on simple fresh ingredients prepared well. We buy local whenever possible including our produce, grass fed meats and farm fresh eggs. In the summer we even grow some of our own produce. We make all of our breads, pastries, desserts, soups and sauces in house using no additives or preservatives. We are also now pleased to announce that most of our menu items may be served gluten free upon request using gluten free breads, rolls & dessert items made from scratch in house.
We look forward to seeing you soon!

November 27, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- An independent monitor for the Department of Children's Services says the agency's progress in 2012 was disappointing.
The Technical Assistance Committee reports to a federal judge on DCS' performance as part of a 2001 settlement over the agency's treatment of foster children.
Among other things, the 2012 report found that workers took too long to make contact with child victims. In the highest priority cases, where children were considered to potentially be in imminent danger, caseworkers made contact within 24 hours between about 30 and 70 percent of the time.
DCS came under fire in 2012 when officials could not say with certainty how many of the children it serves had died. The commissioner resigned in early 2013 and was replaced by Jim Henry, who is restructuring the agency.

Maine Island Lovers Lyrics - Okkervil River
To cheat on Maine islands - days of laughter, nights of sighing. To love without ceasing - flowering orchards, salty sea-things. To say without shyness "unreal city, you have killed me." When you walked out on her love was it easy? When I left him while sleeping was I dreaming? We take each night's journey to the hotel in a hurry, where we love without worry on a bed that's five days dirty. And we read without irony from a book my husband bought for me. When I fell on the concrete it was lovely, because you could see what's been running so hot in me. But when I fell on the concrete, you went white as a sheet and wished that nothing in this world would ever hurt me. Well, keep wishing. Because when I look in my future, I don't see you and don't wish to. Idle talk made when I'm lying by your side on some Maine island is too funny to me, honey, so let's drop it. If you really want to love me, well, then

Since the beginning of time, we have had to balance 'bling' with performance. Its interesting to note that there are few, if any, 120×38 mm fans on the market that have LEDs in them. People regularly come through the cooling section asking for fans that match a certain color scheme, willing to sacrifice performance to meet that color scheme. This isn't ideal: you've spent hundreds of dollars on your gear, there's no reason it should perform at anything less than its best solely to look good. On the other hand, you've also got a case with a window in it and you really want that hardware you've spent all that time and money on to look good! This article details a rather simple mod you can do to run those high performance fans in any color you want.
Plan It First
Before beginning, the end effect must be considered. What do you personally want out of this project? The more evenly lit you want the fan to be, the more LEDs you need to use. If you plan to use a larger fan, you also need to plan on using more LEDs. This needs to be balanced with how and where you plan to mount the perf. board. If you want it ultra small you have three options:
- 1/8 W resistors which are hard to work with because of their size.
- Fewer LEDs so that they take up less space.
- Mounting each board to the fan it's associated with so they're very out of the way (this method might also involve 1/8 W resistors).
These LEDs need to be powered, there are two options:
- Power them from a 4 pin molex connector.
- Power them from the fan's power leads if you're daring and want to strip them in the middle (this method is better if you plan on mounting the circuitry on the fan).
You need to pick your LEDs before you can pick your resistors. If you're using multiple colors you may need different values of resistors. Different LEDs also light up differently, smaller LEDs will not light up the fan as well but will fit the profile of your fan better (the ones I used stick out, which isn't an issue in the configuration it's going into, but if you don't have clearance for a couple mm to stick out you will need to use smaller LEDs or mount them close to the corners). Lastly, you may want to have a couple of glues on hand, when I did this I tried hot glue and plastic to plastic cement (which may or may not have fully cured) and neither would bond to the fan casing well enough to hold the LED in its hole. I don't know how much of this was due to the LED material and how much was due to the casing material.
Parts List
- Fan
- LEDs
- Resistors
- Solder and soldering Iron
- Perf. board
- Drill and bits
- Two knives
- Speaker wire
- Male molex connector
Pick a Fan
This is the 120mm fan I chose to mod, it's in pretty good condition (if a little neglected) and seems to run fine. I decided to use 4 LEDs for this mod because I wanted fairly even coverage with easy spacing. Fans with thicker casing will work better with this mod because thicker casing allows for bigger and brighter LEDs. That said, a thin casing is quite easy to work around so any fan will work, I only include these recommendations for people doing this for a custom LED color who are not DIY inclined. Here's another shot of the fan just so you know what I'm working with.
Pick LEDs and Resistors
Now that you have a fan, you can pick your LEDs. Any LED with 2 leads (wires) will work, the 3 lead ones won't fit into the circuit as it is designed now, so some of the odd colors or multicolored LEDs will not work. Once you have your LEDs, you will need to calculate your resistor value. To calculate this, you will need the specifications of your LEDs, so don't throw the bags away (or lose the links if you order them from the internet). You will need the following:
- VS – the source voltage, this is 12v as the circuit is designed
- VLED – the LED voltage, this is listed on the package (if it lists 2, use the one listed as typical, not max)
- ILED – the current the LED requires, typically this is listed on the package in milliamps and must be converted to Amps for the calculation below
Once you have all of that, put it into the following formula:
You should get a value less than 1000 Ω. If you're using different colors or types of LEDs, you may need different resistor values for each color or type of LED you use, so make sure that you check that. The number you come up with will almost certainly not be a standard resistor value, so pick the next value up from what you calculate. I calculated that mine, for example, required around 290 Ω. The next step up from that was 300 Ω, but RadioShack didn't have that in a 1/8 W, so I got 330 Ω resistors. While you're out getting these, don't forget to grab some perf. board and a male molex connector. Alternatively, you can get something with a male molex on it. I used a male molex to SATA power adapter and just cut the SATA power adapter off of it because it was only $0.60 more than a male molex connector at Radioshack and it saved me having to crimp on the connector myself.
Disassemble the Fan
This part is a little tricky and took a third hand to get done. Remove the sticker on the hub with the fan info on it (don't rip it, you'll be putting it back at the end). Once that is off, remove the plug covering the hole – this step may be unnecessary as in my case the plug came off with the sticker. The next step is the tricky one: you have to remove the little ring that is inside the hole, mine was white and that seems to be the common color, but it'll probably look yellowish because of the grease. The trick to getting this ring off is the small split in it, you may not be able to see it at first though. The way I removed this involved using two knives, I slid one knife between the ring and the wall, which bent one end of the split (try a couple of places on the ring, it took me a few tries to find one that got good separation). I put the other knife in there to hold it up then freed the ring with the other knife. Don't worry about bending up the ring, I got the two ends of the split pretty far apart from each other and was able to just bend it back to where it was once it was out. Once the ring is off, the blades should separate easily from the motor and casing.
Drill Holes for the LEDs
When drilling the holes in the fan casing, you need to use a properly sized drill bit. The LED should fit snugly so that when you glue it you can just put it in and hold it at the angle you want and not have to worry about spacing or anything. The following is how you should measure the bit for your LED.
That bit is actually a bit too small. I went up one size from that, but I did drill my first hole with that bit to see if it would fit. If you have two that seem to straddle the size you need, go with the smaller one and then wiggle the bit around so that it drills a hole slightly wider than the bit: it's incredibly easy to use this method for the casing. Before you drill the hole, mark the casing with some tape or a silver sharpie where you want your LEDs to go. Make sure that you center these relative to the edges of the casing (on the 25/38 mm axis) and that you space them evenly around the edge. The hole should face so that it goes mid way between the edge of the hub and the beginning of the casing and be angled so that it is shining onto the concave side of the blades, allowing the blades to spin towards the light. This orientation gives the light the longest distance to shine so you get the most illumination possible from the fewest number of LEDs. Punch the holes before you drill them if you're not using a drill-press. You can do this rather easily by just starting the hole going directly towards the hub. Make sure you don't go in very deep when doing this, rule of thumb for me was that I didn't let it go in enough that it reached the full size part of the bit, it was all of two or three turns of the bit. Once you've got it punched, restart the hole (as in, take the drill out of the tiny one you started and put it back down) oriented the way I mentioned earlier, toward concave side and between hub and casing. Once you have your first one drilled, put an LED into it to make sure it fits. If the angle is wrong you can adjust, just seat the LED correctly when you glue it in later. Repeat this for the rest of your holes, make sure you check the orientation on the LED for each hole. When you finish it should look something like this.
Assembling the Circuit
If you have no soldering experience this part is going to be the trickiest part for you. I would recommend spacing your channels out more than I did mine (for reference, each LED and its resistor is its own channel). For reference, my circuit took up 24 holes total (5 per channel), so if space is an issue, the design I used should be a good reference. The order you do these things in is pretty nominal, so for those of you more experienced in electronics, here's a not-so-schematic.
For those of you who are less electronically inclined I'm going to go through, step by step, what I did. I was battling furiously with my soldering iron not heating up and overheating for this process, so I only got one picture of the board before I started soldering and then a couple after I was done, you can reference the not-so-schematic if you are confused. If your perf. board has copper pads this side is the bottom of the perf. board; if it doesn't, either side can be the bottom. The first thing I did was put the resistors through the board and fold their leads out (like a backwards staple).
After this, I cut the leads off my extra resistor (you can use any bare wire, I just had no need for the extra resistor, so I scrapped it), one of them became the rail of my +12 v rail and the other became the ground rail. Run this along the under side of the board, underneath the resistor leads and then back to the top side of the perf board, once again, it'll look like a backwards staple. Make sure the resistors are flush against the board and solder each resistor onto this wire, double-check that the resistors are flush against the board, and then clip the extra wire off the resistors.
Now it's time to connect the molex to the board. If you used a bare connector, crimp in wires so that when looking at the back of the connector (where the wires come out) with the angled corners at the top, the yellow wire is on the left and the middle two are the black wires (if you're running it on 5 v, then put a red wire on the far right). The yellow wire carries +12 v, the middle two black wires are ground, and the red one carries +5 v. Strip the end of the yellow wire, twist the end up, tin it (coat the braid in solder), and place it on top of the +12 v rail so that no exposed wire hangs over the board. Solder this to the +12 v rail and clip any extra wire.
Get the wire you will be connecting to the LEDs and cut it to your desired size. I wasn't sure how much I'd need so I used about 3 ft on each one, but retrospectively, you shouldn't need more than the length of your power connector if you run it off the same molex as your fan. Your wire choice can help keep things organized. The best thing to use would be long ribbon cable, but those are hard to come by so I used speaker wire which is widely available. You could use lone wires quite easily and just bundle them with electrical tape or sleeving, it all depends on what you have and what you need for your project. One point to note with speaker wire is that you need to make sure that one wire is marked because you have to connect the wire to the correct lead of the LED. Strip the ends of your wires. If your wires are braided, twist the end of the wire and tin it; if they're not braided, just tin them and be aware that solid center conductors are more likely to break if you bend them a lot. Put your tinned wire through the perf. board on the side of the resistor opposite the +12 v rail. Push the wire all the way through then wrap the resistor lead tightly around the base of the wire to the LED once, then solder it and clip the excess. Repeat this for all your channels. If you are using speaker wire that has different colored sides, it will make it easier later if the same color wire connects to the resistor every time. Repeat the wrap and solder and clip for each channel, make sure your channels aren't touching here. Take the bit of wire you set aside for your other rail and put it through your board one hole lower than the last hole you used (leave a row of holes open for the wire to return from the LED, if you're not sure what this means, refer back to the not-so-schematic) and run it along the back of the board.
Run the wires that will come from your LEDs through the board in the hole you left open. Solder these to the new rail like you did with the resistors on the +12 v rail and clip the excess wire. Now take your two black grounf wires from the molex (the middle two wires), strip the ends, twist each end individually and then twist the two together and tin them. Place this wire on top of the soon-to-be-ground rail so that the insulation of the wire is right up against the edge of the rail and solder it here. Clip any excess wire. I recommend that you insulate the perf board, especially if you plan on mounting it. I did it really simply with some electrical tape.
I put tape over the ground rail and then over the +12 v rail, then one piece of tape over the joint in each channel where the wire to the LED meets the resistor lead so that there is no chance they will touch. You want to keep each channel separate between the rails or the LEDs will not light up. The tape on the wires from my molex was starting to unwind pretty quickly, so I just put a piece of tape around it, perpendicular to the way that the first piece ran to hold it on there. If you're planning on mounting this in a tight spot, insulating the top of your resistors would be a good plan, just in case. Electrical tape is cheap, it's better to use a little too much than it is to use a little too little. Your board should look something like this from the top:
Attaching the LEDs
LEDs have polarity, meaning that they have an anode (negative) and cathode (positive). The lead coming from the resistor must connect to the cathode because it carries positive voltage. Determining anode from cathode is easy on LEDs. Typically the anode (negative side) of an LED will have a shorter lead and/or have a flat side, so the cathode will be the longer lead or unmarked side. Occasionally the LED will not be marked by the factory (this also applies if you're reusing an LED that has been clipped already), it is still possible to determine the cathode. If you look through the LED you will see the leads come up into the plastic, one lead will come up to what looks like a flag, this lead is the cathode. Now that you know which lead is the cathode, you need to insulate part of it, I used electrical tape. If you used speaker wire or anything else where the wires for each LED are connected together, split the wire, put the insulation of the wire up against the LED and clip the wire that will connect to the cathode so that it ends at the top of the insulation you just added. Strip the very end of each of these wires, twist them (if they're braided), tin them, then clip the LED leads so that they're the same length as the wire you just exposed (I typically expose 2-3 mm of wire), make sure that the anode lead is shorter than the insulation you put on the cathode lead so there is no chance of the LED shorting. This will line up the LED leads and the exposed ends of the wire. Before you solder these, double check that you get the correct wire on the cathode. Once you solder them, wrap it in a little electrical tape to insulate any exposed wiring. Repeat this for all your LEDs and you're done. Connect the molex and turn on your computer to check it.
If none of your LEDs light up, chances are you have a problem with the connection to the molex, make sure it's wired correctly, check the connection out of the molex. Check that a multimeter reads 12 v between the +12 v rail and the ground rail. If not, your problem lies there. If it reads 12 v, then check the solder connections to the rails, if it's not there, then there's probably something wrong with the circuit, you may have connected all the LEDs backwards. If only one LED is out then there's an issue with just that channel – check that you connected the right side of the LED to the +12 v rail, check that your solder joints are good, and check that you properly insulated everything and there's no short.
Mounting the LEDs in the Fan
Before you mount your LEDs, check the spacing from your fan blades. Put the blades back in the housing (don't put the ring on yet), push the LED into the hole how you want it to lie, and spin the blades at least one full rotation to make sure it doesn't come in contact with the blades. You should try to have at least 1-2 mm of clearance from the bulb tip to the fan blade because the fan will get a bit off axis when it spins and this can make it hit the LED, which shouldn't break the LED, but it'll sound like a piece of cardboard in your spokes. Once you have it adequately positioned, glue it in place. I had a hard time finding something that would bond to the LED and the casing of the fan, I tried hot glue, but that didn't bond to the casing. I tried plastic to plastic modeling glue, but that wouldn't bond to the LED. I ended up using superglue, which held fantastically for my casing, but it could vary depending on the material that your casing is made from. I've heard epoxy will work too, but I didn't try it myself since the superglue worked. I put the glue on with a very specific method: I put the glue on the LED, all the way around it at the ridge so it would run towards the tip of the bulb, then put it in the hole. Once it was in the hole, I put some glue on the casing around the base of the LED to hold it in place. It took about 20 seconds to dry and feels like it holds really well, but I don't know what vibration will do over time. I recommend that you orient the leads so that if you drew a line along the 25/38 mm axis of the fan (the line would be parallel to the airflow) it would hit both leads. This will allow you to fold over the leads and decrease the profile of the fan after modding. Repeat this for all of your LEDs, be sure you check the fan blade clearance on each one.
Reassembling the Fan
Put the blade in and replace the retaining ring you took out. The ring is slightly too small for the axle it goes on. I ended up just pushing it down with two knives. Make sure you push the blades all the way back and seat the retention ring as far down as you can so there is as little play as possible in the blades. Before you put the cap back on, I recommend a spray of WD-40 to lubricate the fan, you've got it open anyways, why not. Replace the cap and sticker and you're done.
Plug up the fan and the LEDs and see how it looks! This is how mine turned out.
When I first posted this, neonblingbling recommended grinding down the LEDs to increase diffusion of the light, that should also make it flatter against the casing. Just make sure you don't hit the electronics of the LED or it'll have to be replaced. Give that a try if you want!

- While this is a completely valid method of hooking them up (and works in some situations), if you lose 1 led, you lose them all, so a whole fan would go out at once, as opposed to my method, in which only one led would go out. There's also the issue of finding LEDs in the color you want that match your voltage spec. That means that you have to order off the internet, not from a brick and mortar place, which means that you don't get to see the LED and you're going on faith that it is the hue and intensity that you want. Personally I don't like running LED's in series, I couldn't tell you why, I've just heard recommendations against it and listened to them.
So, in summary, yes, valid method of doing it, just a little less flexible. I was really going for universality on this, so this circuit could actually be used for case lighting or anything else involving LEDs.i tried this a year or two ago.
there's a simpler way.
you don't need a circuit board w/ resistors.
the leds i chose all needed about 3v to run so
i simply connected them in series and to my fan's power connector.
unless of course there a major benefit to having a circuit board.
i'm not into electronics so i don't know :-)I was just thinking about adding LED's to my radiator fans when I was trying to fall asleep last night (is there a help group for thinking about modding to much??) and I gotta say m0r7if3r this is an awesome guide... will be trying this myself in a matter of days!You may already be on to what I was thinking of doing m0r7if3r, When I make mine up I will send you some shots of an idea I have.:thup: yea, I had it drawn out like that at the very beginning of the project but I went with the method I went with for simplicity, and flexibility. Its really difficult to run the wires back out without having to do some channeling in the fans (or making it look ugly) and I just wasn't setup for that, I figured not many people would be. I've got a couple other things going on that I may write up (none of them have made it very far out of my mind yet lol) but that may end up getting integrated into the next one. Thanks for the comment :)To get power to the LEDs, you can also solder the wires onto the two solder pads that you can see in CgS Drone's second picture.:drool: that would have been SUCH a good idea...man +1 to that. I just cavemanned it out lol. I used a paint scraper to get the sticker off.Hope you don't mind me adding this m0r7if3r.
I took an old fan today to play with that I had laying around and removed the sticker using a pair of tweezer you can get at a hobby store.
After removing the sticker you will see the ring that m0r7if3r is talking about (on mine it is plastic) and the split in the ring.
Using the tips of the tweezers I pressed down on one side of the split while holding fan blade itself with the other hand to keep the fan shaft in place, then you can get the tweezers to slide into the gap and grab one side of the retaining ring and lift the retaining ring out.
When you are ready to reinstall the ring you can use the tweezers to get it placed back on the end of the fan shaft then let the tweezers open enough to clear the fan shaft you can press down on both sides of the retaining ring to get it to go back into place. Then replace the sticker to keep dust out of the motor.No problem man, I've gotten gobs and gobs of help from people around here, I'm just paying it forward! I think this wavelength is dim or something, because white LEDs in a similar brightness range hurt to look at...if you get them at radioshack, just ask them to let you see the brightness, they let me do that (but the cashiers were 2 stoners...sooooooo)Thanks m0r7if3r, it appears that the ones you used are plenty bright. I just didn't want to end up with something out of a laser light show going off in my case. You have been great on this and I really appr. all the effort you have put into this.ok, per your request, the LED specs (sorry it took so long, I built a computer tonight lol)
Intensity:2850mcd average 4000mcd max
chromacity: x=1.334, y=0.197
viewing angle: 30 deg
FW Corrent: 30mA
FW Supply: 3.5v (typical) 4.0v (max)SecrtAgentManNow I need a thread on how to remove LEDs :p
I'm sure that there's something you can do involving 3 sheets of paper, a lighter, and a circular saw (Disclaimer:I made those up...something to dissolve superglue/epoxy/whatever you mounted with would work for real)
MattNo5ssGreat job! :clap:
Thanks!!! Thanks to you and the whole news team for everything!Great job! :clap:Now I need a thread on how to remove LEDs :pCgS DroneYou say in the article that you should leave about 2mm clearance from the fan to the end of the led and I understand the reasoning behind this. When you mounted your led's did you have much protruding through the fan casing? I looked at one of my Gentle Typhoons today that I want to do this mod on and they only have .8mm clearance from the tip of the blade to the casing edge so I would have to have the led flush with the casing in order to give clearance but I am wondering what that would do to the viewing angle pattern. I was thinking I could put a counter sink in there to barely open it up in order to retain the viewing angle if I needed to.
That number was on my fan...I had figured mine was pretty close, guess not. The way I would tackle it would be grinding the LEDs (per neonblingbling's recommendation), if you're not sure about that, try test fitting it and grinding it without glueing it so you can see what it looks like...countersinking it could work, but I'm not sure how it would affect the ducting the casing naturally creates.
As for how far mine stuck out, it was a good bit, but if you mount them next to the connection to the corner of the casing, it will stick out but still be covered by the casing...you could also use more smaller LEDs which wouldn't protrude much if any, my choice of LED was dictated by the fact that I already had 2 of the pink ones (got em for a guitar mod I was doing and then didn't use em in the interest of battery life), so I just finished off the set.
@earthdog: Thanks! Wouldn'tve made it up there if you hadn't spotted it :)Looks great on the front page!!! Nice job man! :)You say in the article that you should leave about 2mm clearance from the fan to the end of the led and I understand the reasoning behind this.

those are the LEDs that I used...i know the stuff you asked isn't listed, but i'm pretty sure it's on the bag...alas, I have thrown them away. I'll make a trip to ratshack tonight and just check the specs. Those are pink LEDs that I used, btw, so you can probably sell your wife on them as pink LEDs and they don't look TOO emasculating.m0r7if3r what mcd did you end up using to get that intensity? and are the one's that you used 30° to 40° viewing angle?

F--- perfection! I am perfectly flawed.
I think I am one of the few blessed ones that genuinely has an amazing relationship with my mother-in-law -- which is why I rarely use the term in-law since it has been long associated with not so pleasant memories for most. I don't look at my husbands family that way. I was an only child, and I walked into this large Sicilian family and everything was really loud. Other than my incredible grandfather, there were no real men in my life. So when I met David's father it was inspiring. Now, I have two brothers that I have chased around the office and job site swinging at, two beautiful sisters that I would kick arse for, the most kind hearted and beautiful nieces and nephews. My relationship with my mum is honest. She knows me and loves me for me. We of course don't always agree on everything, but we smile and then drop it. And most importantly she knows in the deepest of my soul I have a husband who is honestly the best thing that has ever happened to me. He's my destiny. I drive him f---ing crazy but in the end he knows I would die for him. Seriously I would lie myself down for this man!
My mum was up front and center with all three births of our children, so walking into Hustler with my mum-in-law and hubby isn't really all that odd for us. We definitely got the giggles with some of the items and a little confused by others. I swear some required a map. But Hustler today is a high end store, nothing that lurks in the shadows. They have great bikinis and lingerie, and especially towards Halloween they have the best costumes. This place is a Hollywood landmark. It''s run by Larry Flynt's daughter -- that to me is so cool -- and she has a very clear vision.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Two law firms say they're suing cable television giant Charter Communications for failing to pay certain employees for certain tasks.
Lawyers for the Madison-based firms say they've been given the go-ahead to expand their lawsuit on behalf of one client into a federal class action lawsuit.
Now the firms are seeking other people to join in the case filed in August on behalf of a Janesville technician.
The firms say their suit seeks unpaid wages and overtime compensation for about 8,000 current and former employees.
A spokeswoman for St. Louis-based Charter says she's looking at the case and will comment later.

The John B. Caddell, a 700 ton oil tanker that washed ashore during Sandy, is covered in graffiti.
The tanker has yet to be removed from its location on Front Street in Clifton.
The Coast Guard could be seen on Monday checking on the tanker.
Officials said a private contractor has been hired to lift the ship to a location where it can be safely inspected.
No word on exactly when that will happen.
