Yeah dump the chocolate, you don't want your red to taste like a Porter.
Maybe try 1-2 oz of Roasted Barley.
Do you have access to Caramunich? Maybe try 4oz of that. It will lend a nice amber/red color.
How about 4 oz melanoiden?
Edit: Would have to turn it into a partial mash then.
Ok, thinking about the roasted barley now. 4 oz?
a little chocolate can do great things in a red but 4oz on top of that much caramel might be a bit muddling
i'd also run this through brewtarget or beersmith to get a good SRM idea if the red aspect is important to you
I've also heard about people throwing in their darker roasted malts towards the end of the mash. This way you only get the color, not the flavor. Have fun brewing.
+ 1 on dropping the chocolate. Maybe bump the caramel 40 to 60 to compensate for SRM loss, but adds more red...

Throttle Body Cleaning - Dirty Throttle Body Symptoms And Problems
People Who Liked This Video Also Liked
Did this video help you?
BlackMafioso: Omg TY I'll try it on my next day off I took my car to a mechanic and this
fool tried to tell me I have a blown head gasket and wanted $1500 .after
that I had 0 trust in the guy. My head gasket is perfectly fine, I guess
because I'm young he tried to take advantage of me but I wasn't falling for
it, I had no milky oil, no overheating. no coolant loss,no white smoke, no
oil in my coolant "which he told me I did" but when I checked it it was
still pretty clean. Also I had a coolant flush 2 weeks in advance I'm
pretty sure I would of found out then, But my car does everything in the
description I guess that's why it never happens on the highway, getting
more air I guess. thx for the video and maybe I wont have to pay another
mechanic $100 to be lied to.
Jeremy Boney: I am going to try this on my subaru impreza 06 rs I am having idle issues and am starting with the cheapest first. Anyone have a great safe throttle body cleaner brand for my unusual boxer aluminum engine?
Paul Mansfield: I get this problem on my Ford Maverick (2003 model) - 2L engine, sold in USA as the Ford Escape. Cleaning the throttle body solves a stalling problem where the engine won't idle if you stop for a short while and try and start the engine when hot. I am wondering if it's related to the exhaust recirculation valve reporting a fault.
jleal11: Does the throttle body need to be calibrated after the cleaning since it was manually opened?
Natalie Cotero: Ok so I have a problem I changed the spark plug wires on my 2001 f150 4.2l v6 2wd and I sprayed some throttle body cleaner and when I went to go start it it killed all my power why is that?
TheEliminator: So it's safe to spray the throttle while the truck is running?
Team Alpha (Gaming): Should you not unplug the TB? I've heard stories of some TBs having a mechanism to return the butterfly back to normal position, thus cutting off any fingers in there :(
DysfunctionalBubble: That's dirty? It looks nice and new compared to mine. My 2004 optra is coated on the top visible bits with a darkish layer of tobacco colored stuff. The sort of thing that you see in side of the engien on older cars. I have no oil burning problems, so i don't know why its so dirty. It makes this one look like it's brand new.
jesus gutierrez: i have a 2003 Yukon that would die when making a turn, and it would run rough at a red light, i saw your video and went out and got a can of throttle body cleaner and an old tooth brush, I cleaned the throttle body and replace the air filter and now my truck runs like new again!! it was an easy and cheap fix, I spend a total of 23.00 dls. for the cleaner and air filter, thank you for sharing the video
Robert Hughes: I'm not seeing the solution to my problem no matter where I look. I've been experiencing throttle issues with my 2004 F-150 5.4 3 valve V-8 98,250 miles. My truck idles fine, however, it has a "hesitation" when I'm driving down the road. It's much like the old carb motors with that throttle hesitation. It acts like it's starving for air or fuel. Sometimes when I push down on the throttle just a little bit, the motor starts to "surge". I changed out the fuel filter, used a fuel additive to clean out any residue in the fuel lines, but to no avail. I'm wondering if the throttle body is the problem or maybe something else. I get no codes which is why the dealer says he can't help me. There's no recorded codes in the PCM. What do I do?
tigaspinoypower: Please help...My Honda Passport 96. while im driving and when stop sign i got high rpm and when i shut off my engine and counted 5 sec. and i start it went back to normal rpm and the following day same thing happen when im onthe freeway and then was so traffic and i drive slowly and my rpm went up. I just want to know if something to do with this with throttle body symptom? Thanks
Missy Mcbee: I have a 2001 Cadillac Deville, idles high we cleaned the throttle body still having problems... Sometimes we drive it its ok and then it starts again and when we put it in park Im scared its going to mess up the Transmission, We're at a light or stop sign and it wants to keep going... I dont know wht to do its costly...
J. Wilson Perez: update.. my car is now idling smoothly with aircon on. but still stall a little bit when in drive mode. by the way i replaced all the hoses in egr valve which helps a lot in idling smoothly.
Sayed Youssef: I have a 1998 infiniti i30. Do I have to take the throttle body out to clean it? is there any house hold products i can use to clean it?
RentonReturns: hey i have a 94 buick century and when im at a stop light or turn it stalls, happen 3 times within 4minutes one day, any suggestion on whats the problem?
MrSlackerSteve: Just going to say... many auto manuals explicitly state not to scrub your throttle body with any kind of brush as it can remove a protective layer of coating. Please check your specific cars manual but you would be better served spraying with throttle body cleaner and wiping with a clean dry rag to be on the safe side.
Kadeem duparl: OK so I have a 2010 mercury Milan and it's stalling and the check engine light comes on, the rpm gauge also is jumping like crazy, do you think that could be a the throttle body needing cleaning??
Macmillium: I would be careful not to open by hand some electronic throttle bodies, as it may not like it. I did that on a 2004 Titan and few weeks later the MIL was on, the idle was very bad and acceleration was not smooth, so I had to recalibrate the TB... Should had use the pedal with the key on as he suggested here. Also not to use any cleaner as it may destroy the coating on the throttle plate. In my van the pcv was never replaced, so by 150k miles the whole intake was dirty, so I took apart to clean it up. Thank you for posting this video.
Rahman Kodiyil: i have got a strange issue with my Toyota corolla 2011 (auto transmission GCC specification 1.8 ) i see a surge in RPM when getting to complete stop (AC is on )and i feel the push of the car, as if it wants to accelerate and gets to complete stop. I notice this more when i drive in slow moving traffic where i have to accelerate a bit a then stop. The push or the jerking is more when i drive in D3 or D2 . i have cleaned the IAC and throttle body, replaced my brake pads but still has the same issue. i don't feel much issue when the Ac is off , well there must be a bit but cant notice it nor the RPM jumps or surge. kindly help me way out of it.
J. Wilson Perez: i tried it already cleaning the throttle body and replacing the idle stepper motor with a working one. it idle normally when in neutral/park mode. but when in drive mode it stall and when the aC is on..
Joe Mault: What do you use as a cleaner?
Marcus N: Why the hell would 14 people not like this ? "Oh god damn I hate a clean throttle body.!! .grrrrrrrr "
k CARVING: hey guys husbands 2006 , mercury montego was recalled called ford got it fixed for nothing some 650 . ford recalled them you don;t have to be the first owner GO FOR IT,waiting for them to recall the tranny now
brillopad6901: I just had my computer reflashed and my throttle body cleaned on my 2003 Toyota Camry and it drives better (it was dying at a dead stop) but it seems to chug when I get up on the gas, almost feels like one cylinder is misfiring but I get no check engine light codes. Could I have a leak in my intake? Should I replace the throttle body? I've taken it to 4 different mechanics and they can't figure it out.
brittany p: can a throttle body stop your car from turning on? i have a dodge magnum and she wont start. and if she does i have to hold my foot on the gas to keep it on and as soon as i let go she turns off and it sounds really rough if she turns on
J. Wilson Perez: update 2... all is working good right now like a brandnew car.. idle is stable with aircon on and when in drive mode. no more idle stalling.. thanks very much.. godbless.. just one more minor problem. rear engine support was broken but it was an easy fix.. anyway thanks again.. :)
LoVeHa7e: Motor shaking car not advancing Anyone know what this problem is. Maybe trustmymechanic knows
prince keem: Ok so my car always idle at 1100 I just replaced my iac valve this morning I cleaned the inside of the throttle body and plate and right when I started it up it idled where its supoose to be at 700 but den 30 mins later went back up to 1100 well I didn't notice a change in the way the engine souded still quiet and normal but the needle was back at 1100 rpm at idle should I replace my throttle position sensor also?would that help? already checked for leaks and seafoamed my car i have a complete tune up also
Christine Kewallal: can I just say how much I appreciate the time you took in your about section explaining the situation? 1 minute into reading through the description and watching the vid, and I'm keeling over at how my situation mirrors this. I'm going to find the cleaner today. Thanks again from Toronto!
J. Wilson Perez: hi i have a 1992 6g galant automatic transmission. we recently overhauled it so i know.that the engine is having a high compression. the problem is when the car is in Park/neutral mode it idle normally but when i put in into Drive mode its suddenly stall from 900 rpm down to 600 rpm and goes down to 500 when i turn on the a/c.. thanks in advance for your help.. godbless
Silver Fox: 2008 mazda 3 auto. My car makes this loud humming/ buzzing, like a moose at night sound when accelerating. It mostly does it with AC on but can happen with no Ac. The noise increases with the gas pedal but would die down after about 7 seconds. Any idea?
Andy D: Hi, I'm just cleaning my TB now on my Ford150. Should I put silicone on the gasket or TB to make sure it seals properly?
Otto Soldiers: Please help mu toyota avensis 2003 auto shakes or vibrate while on idle and revvs itsself up nd downs, hen i stop at the red light or when driving at a traifc it start shaking then later the check engine light comes on, it is even worse when am doing reversing it shakes like hell no but when on motion everything seems normal, what culd be the problem?
VroomVT: My 1996 nissan 200sx idles weird but only when warm, and when going down the road. If im engine braking, or lightly pressing on the gas, it will jerk. Could this be my throttle body?
Voloria Hooker: +Garrett Staats did the cleaning help? I have the same car and seems like the same problem too!
J. Wilson Perez: yes i adjusted the biss screw to compensate the idle issuues when in drive mode and Ac on. do i need to check the Ecu?
Joe Lewis: I have a 2000 lincoln navigator when I turn the AC on my car will start to shut off but if the AC is off my car run good
Garrett Staats: Holy crap. This exactly what I have been looking for. I bought some MAF sensor cleaner and it helped a little bit, but I think this is my problem. The fluctuating RPM and the surge and die thing at stoplights.... Going to try it tomorrow. Just a tip, though. If you run a K&N air filter, you might have to clean the MAF every few thousand miles. Kind of makes me wonder about the K&N filters.....
David Johnson: I replaced a throttle body on jeep commander but engine is still on should I clean that rubber casket also
davidbdoucette: On a side note, I do believe you had a hitchiker on board. Look in the lower right hand corner of the video for the first 30 seconds and you'll see him hanging on for dear life, legs dangling. :-) May not be responsible for your rough idling, and it is almost 2 years later now, but you may want to check for nests.
Voloria Hooker: My RPM is off the charts on my 2004 Cadillac CTS. When I start my car the rpm shoots up to 4 & then will go up & down...The fluctuating RPM and the surge and die thing at stoplights.... Going to try it tomorrow. Just a tip, though. I was told by the dealership that I need to replace the throttle body gasket & connector. Will the cleaning really help that much or is it more precautionary?
Augustine Lopez: My minivan has these problems; very rough idling, exhaust smell and poor fuel economy. I'm wondering if this will solve those issues and what kind of cleaner are you using with that brush?
Brotha lee T.v: +TrustMyMechanic.com ive cleaned my throttle body a couple of months ago and the rpms kept going up and down after cleaning , after awhile it went to normal , few months down the line my idle issue is returning , is there a certain procedure that you have to do so it wont do this
Missy Jane Music: My car used to always have a low rpm, 20 max when accelerating to get on the freeway or pass a car. Now the rpm hovers at a minimum of 5 rpm, even when at 0 mph. It ramps up to 20 rpm when doing basic accelerating or street driving. Could a dirty throttle be the cause or should I be worried about the transmission? Thank you!
Luke Moore: i prefer to remove the throttle body when i do this so alot of that junk doesnt run into the engine, is this a good practice?
Penfold8: I have heard that you shouldn't mess with the butterfly valve because that will send the computer into a learning mode and will take a while before the vehicle starts to behave again. Is that true?
LCCharlie: I was surprised that you used a steel brush on an aluminum throttle body; I would have stuck with nylon or plastic.
TrustMyMechanic.com: Yes it can if the throttle body is really gummed up with carbon. Also a bad throttle cable can cause it as well. I would clean the throttle body first and see what happens...it should be part of routine maintenance anyway.
TrustMyMechanic.com: Yes it is a profitable job for the shop, but most...if not all customers will not or do not feel comfortable doing it themselves. Using cheap gasoline, and just the nature of come vehicles cause dirty throttle bodies more than others. Ford seems to be the worst when it comes to needing to clean. Yep, good comment on the brake leak. If the fluid is low either the brake pads are worn out causing too much fluid to remain in the caliper or there is a leak.
TrustMyMechanic.com: Yes it could be and if you were in my shop it would be the first thing I would look at...then I would check for a vacuum leak under the hood somewhere. With the engine running, open the hood and listen for a hissing type sound usually around the air cleaner fresh air duct work going to the air filter/cleaner case.

Chinese Apples
New and Selected Poems
This selection of W. S. Di Piero's poems, covering eight individual collections over the last quarter century and offering fifteen strong new poems, is a chance to savor the career of a poet enthralled by the seductive music of life as it is lived. Here are Di Piero's consuming preoccupations: the pull of faith and the suspicion of transcendence; urban worlds and the mysterious jazz of street language; desire and sexual need and love and loss, everything marked by what one early poem calls "the bruise of chance." Through it all, Di Piero delivers what he has called, in William James's phrase, "the hard, bright particulars of physical existence." No poet is more visceral; these poems carry the sparkling tension and urgency of an artist who does not write or live intellectually, but locally. Di Piero's sensibility seems to spring from the mood on the streets of San Francisco or float down from the flung-open shutters in his ancestors' Italian villages; the economy of his language has its source in his native South Philly, where "When I was young, they taught us not to ask. / Accept what's there . . . Brick homes,Your Show of Shows,/ the mothball fleet and flaring oilworks." "Poetry exists not to simplify our sense of life and death but to absorb and express its complexities and mixed tones," Di Piero has written. Throughout this volume, those tones are at play, as this essential poet squares up in front of experience and all it brings.

Joe Gibbs Racing sweeps Budweiser Duel at Daytona
A Joe Gibbs Racing driver hasn't won the Daytona 500 since 1993.
The organization certainly seems in strong position to end that streak this year.
JGR drivers Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin completed a sweep of Thursday night's Budweiser Duel at Daytona qualifying races. Hamlin already had a victory in his pocket, winning Saturday night's Sprint Unlimited.
Kenseth held off a furious charge from Kevin Harvick to win the first qualifying race. Harvick's No. 4 Chevrolet failed a postrace inspection and he lost his finishing position.
Hamlin remained in command most of Duel No. 2 and as the drivers jockeyed for position behind him on the last lap, Jimmie Johnson ran out of fuel and was hit by Jamie McMurray, which triggered a multi-car wreck as Hamlin took the checkered flag.
At one point in the wreck, Clint Bowyer's Toyota flipped but landed on its wheels. He still was able to drive across the finish line.
"I can't thank this team enough. We won the NASCAR golf tournament this morning, too, so we're really undefeated," Hamlin said from Victory Lane. "Everything has been going great.
"Once that snowball starts to roll it's hard to stop it and right now we're just on a heck of a run."
Hamlin said much of the credit for his ability to get into the lead after a slow start to his qualifying race was a lightning-fast pit stop by his crew.
"I not only came out with a lead, I had a huge lead. In fact, I was afraid it was too big a lead and the line of cars coming behind me might run right past me," Hamlin said. "I'm not necessarily sold that what has worked in these night races will automatically work on Sunday."
Jeff Gordon finished second to Hamlin, followed by Kurt Busch, Paul Menard and Brian Scott.
Kasey Kahne was credited with finishing second in the first duel, followed by Marcos Ambrose, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Josh Wise.
Although Harvick's attempt of a last-lap pass of Kenseth turned out to be for naught, Kenseth said he believes there is much more of a possibility for that move to be successful with this season's rules package.
"It's only a half inch (less) on the spoiler, but I think it's made a difference. I can't recall all four speedway races," Kenseth said. "I'd be lying if I told you what the finishes were. I don't recall.
"I remember the 500 last year, and I got in the front and there wasn't anybody going to pass us, in my opinion."
By virtue of their finishes in the first qualifying race, rookies Alex Bowman and Cole Whitt raced their way into the lineup for Sunday's Daytona 500. Trevor Bayne and Terry Labonte qualified from the second race.
"I'm just so thankful for this team. It's a lot of pressure, though. I'm not going to lie," said Bayne, who won the 2011 Daytona 500 with the Wood Brothers. "I kind of take it for granted all the time when we qualify good and don't have to worry about these Duels.
"But we did it when it mattered and I'm really proud of these guys. They've worked hard on this car and deserve to be in the 500."
Ryan Truex, Joe Nemechek, Eric McClure, Michael McDowell and Morgan Shepherd failed to make the 500. Dave Blaney's entry withdrew before the qualifying races after the team wrecked its only car during Wednesday's first practice.

Piano Fingering
Piano Fingering
Many beginning and
intermediate piano students struggle with piano fingering. I often see students use awkward fingering when playing the piano. Our fingers are of different lengths; thumbs are shorter than other fingers. Generally speaking, the thumb is the strongest finger of all. The thumb, index finger (2nd) and middle finger (3rd) are used the most for piano playing. The fourth finger is the weakest and least used. Following are some tips on
how to play piano
with correct fingering.
1. Restrict the usage of thumb on black keys. You may consider using thumb on black keys when the following occurs:
Playing a piece that has all black notes
Playing chords with all black notes, for example: Gb major chord or
F# piano chord
Playing chords with black and white notes, and the lower note happens to be black note.
The fingers most used to play black notes are the 2nd and 3rd fingers.
2. When playing the melody with the right hand and some keys are out of reach, you may move the whole hand to play the note. If the key is only a couple of steps down from the thumb, you may use the thumb as an anchor and cross the second finger over to reach the note on the left side of the thumb. You do not need to move the hand. Just move the second finger over. Once the second finger plays the key, the thumb will cross over to play the other note to the left of the key.
Suggestion: Practice the
piano scales
often to know what finger to use.
3. The same rule applies to the left hand.
4. Watch other experienced pianists whenever possible, look at their fingering and imitate their movements.

Texas officer kills himself, officials say
The officer's name was not released early Tuesday evening because next of kin had not been notified
By Bill Miller
Fort Worth Star-Telegram
ARLINGTON, Texas — An Arlington police officer apparently killed himself Tuesday afternoon on Park Run Drive, a police spokeswoman said.
Police were summoned about 3:30 p.m. after getting a 911 call about a possibly suicidal person "believed to be an officer," said Tiara Ellis Richard, a police spokeswoman.
The police department's SWAT team was dispatched "out of an abundance of caution," Richard said. When officers arrived, they found the off-duty officer in civilian clothes, dead from an apparent gunshot, Richard said.
A gun was found near the body, Richard said. She did not know if it was his service weapon.
The neighborhood is near the 2400 block of Park Run Drive close to the intersection with Vista Creek Court. The area borders Rush Creek Linear Park in west Arlington.
The officer lived in the neighborhood but the body was not outside his own home, Richard said.
The officer's name was not released early Tuesday evening because next of kin had not been notified.
Investigators were still working at the scene at 6:30 p.m.

Fans question - weird one...
Next question y'all -
My home has exposed post and beam ceilings, which makes all kinds of things difficult - lighting fixtures, exhaust fans...
Right now above the tub/shower is a drop ceiling that houses the exhaust fan. This is the master bath.
I am remodeling that bathroom as well as the neighboring powder room. I will have a drop ceiling over the shower that will house the Panasonic fan and two 4-inch can lights.
In the neighboring powder room I have no place to put a fan except in the wall (because I don't want to build a drop ceiling in there for aesthestics).
So, I thought that I would get a wall-mount fan that is installed into the wall and accesses the drop-ceiling space in the master bath.
Dumb idea? Brilliant? Too crowded?
Secondly, there are only a couple of actual wall-mount-specified fans I found. Can most ceiling-mount fans be wall-mounted with some jerry-rigging for the exhaust?
A quick google search reveals a few Broan fans can be wall or ceiling mounted. You will need a right angle adapter for the vent, most likely. If flex ducting is permitted where you are (not my favourite, they collect more duct and plastic ones are a fire hazard) it may make things similar.
You will have to cut an exploratory hole through into the dropped ceiling and have a look, then you'll know if it will work or not. Hopefully there is enough room for two vents outside, side by side. If the existing vent/vent flapper is older, it might make sense to replace it whilst it's accessible, and then they'll match.
I would use a drywall hand saw to cut your exploratory hole, a power tool is too risky when there could be wiring in there. Keep in mind you can't cut any studs in the outside wall.
As for cutting the hole in the outside wall, consider buying a suitable hole saw assuming your outside wall is wood or wood & siding. When you're going through vinyl siding, once the hole saw is almost touching the siding, REVERSE THE drill, and slowly cut through the siding with the drill running in reverse. This also works a treat with aluminium and other delicate materials... Running in normal forwards mode will rip the siding up.
Here is a link that might be useful: Broan fans
This post was edited by alan_s_thefirst on Fri, Nov 30, 12 at 0:28
Ummmm...you'll need to vent the second fan through the outside wall, so yes, you'll need to go through the outside wall. Some bright spark may tell you you could share one vent, but I don't think it would be worthwhile or very efficient.
I missed the part where you are remodelling the bathroom that already has the dropped ceiling, so you should have good access to run your ducting for the wall mount in the new powder room.
Apropos of aesthetics, wall mounting it may not be all that pretty, but I see that Broan have metal grilles available as accessories. You could also use a cold air return-type grille over it as well, if you liked the look of it.
Just make sure that the model you choose is rated for vertical/wall mounting. One potential issue might be the flapper they have for reducing heat loss, they close when the fan is not in use. Check what the installation instructions say.
I want to vent the wall-mounted fan through the roof. Biggest concern is squeezing two fans and two can lights into the drop ceiling space from two different directions.
I found the Panasonic wall-mount model. It's $$$ and maybe too big for powder room use.
I just don't know how else to vent this little powder room if I don't use a drop ceiling in there.

Slide Deck from Karl Van den Bergh's Cloud Expo Presentation: The Intelligence Inside: How Developers of Cloud Apps Will Change the World of Analytics
We live in a world that requires us to compete on our differential use of time and information, yet only a fraction of information workers today have access to the analytical capabilities they need to make better decisions. Now, with the advent of a new generation of embedded business intelligence (BI) platforms, cloud developers are disrupting the world of analytics. They are using these new BI platforms to inject more intelligence into the applications business people use every day. As a result, data-driven decision-making is finally on track to become the rule, not the exception.
The Increased Focus on Analytics
With the emphasis on data-driven decision-making, it is perhaps not a surprise that the focus on analytics continues to mount. According to IDC's Dan Vesset, 2013 was poised to be the first year that the market for data-driven decision making enabled by business analytics broke through the $100 billion mark. IT executives are also doubling-down on analytics, a fact highlighted by Gartner's annual CIO survey which has put analytics as the number one technology priority three times out of the last five years. So, given the importance and spend on analytics, everyone should have access to the insight they need, right?
Most Business People Still Don't Use Analytics
Amazingly, in spite of spending growth and focus, most information workers today do not have access to business intelligence. In fact, Cindi Howson of BI Scorecard has found that end-user adoption of BI seems to have stagnated at about 25%. This stagnation is difficult to reconcile. How is it possible that, at best, one quarter of information workers have access to what is arguably most critical to their success in a world that runs on data?
There are a variety of reasons for stagnant end-user adoption, including the high costs associated with BI projects and an overall lack of usability. However, the biggest impediment to BI adoption has nothing to do with the technology. The reality is that the vast majority of business decision makers do not spend their day working in a BI tool - nor do they want to. Users already have their preferred tool or application: sales representatives use a CRM service; marketers use a campaign management or marketing automation platform; back-office workers will spend a lot of their day in an ERP application; executives will typically work with their preferred productivity suite, and the list goes on. Unless you are a data analyst, you are not going to want to spend much of your day using a BI tool. But, just because business people prefer not to use a BI tool does not mean they don't want access to pertinent data to bolster better decision-making.
The Need for More Intelligence Inside Applications
What's the solution? Simply put, bring the data TO users inside their preferred applications instead of expecting them to go to a separate BI system to find the report, dashboard or visualization that's relevant to the question at hand. If we want to reach the other 75% of business people who don't have access to a standalone BI product, we have to inject intelligence inside the applications and services they use every day. It is only through more intelligent applications that organizations can benefit from broader data-driven decision-making. In fact, according to Gartner, BI will only become pervasive when it essentially becomes "invisible" to business people as part of the applications they use daily. In a 2013 report highlighting key emerging tech trends, Gartner concludes that in order "to make analytics more actionable and pervasively deployed, BI and analytics professionals must make analytics more invisible and transparent to their users." How? The report explains this will happen "through embedded analytic applications at the point of decision or action."
If the solution to pervasive BI is to deliver greater intelligence inside applications, why don't more applications embed analytics? The reality is that only a small fraction of applications built today have embedded intelligence. Sure, they might have a table or a chart but there is no intelligent engine; users typically can't personalize a report or dashboard or self-serve to generate new visualizations on an ad-hoc basis. The culprit here is that business intelligence was originally intended as a standalone activity, not one that was designed to be embeddable. Specifically, the reasons driving developers to ignore BI platforms boil down to cost and complexity.
Cost and Complexity Are Barriers to Embedded BI
Traditionally, BI tools have carried a user-based licensing model. Licenses typically cost from the tens of thousands to millions of dollars. Such high per-user costs might be justified for a relatively small, predictably-sized population that includes a large percentage of power users who will spend a good amount of time working with the BI tool. This user-based model, however, is totally unsuitable for the embedded use case. The embedded use case is geared toward business users who will access the BI features less frequently and likely have less analytics experience than the traditional power user - in this scenario, high per-user costs simply can't be justified.
BI products are complex on a number of different levels. First, they are complex to deploy, often requiring months if not years to roll out to any reasonable number of users. Second, they are complex to use, both for the developers building the reports and dashboards as well as the business people interacting with the tool. Third, they are complex to embed. Designed as standalone products, BI tools are not architected to plug into another application.
Given the cost and complexity of traditional standalone BI offerings, it is no surprise that developers often turn to charting libraries to deliver the visualizations within their application. The cost is low and they are relatively simple for a developer to embed. In the short term, a charting library is a reasonable solution, but over time falls flat. The demands for more charts, dashboards and reports quickly grow, and end users begin looking for the ability to self-serve and create their own visualizations. As a result of these mounting demands, many application developers find themselves essentially building a BI tool, taking them outside their core competency and stealing precious time away from advancing their own application.
Could a New Generation of Embedded BI Provide the Solution?
Fortunately, there is a new generation of embedded analytic platforms emerging that looks set to address these challenges of cost and complexity. Wayne Eckerson, a noted BI analyst, identifies this as the third generation of embedded analytics in his article on the Evolution of Embedded BI. In summary, Eckerson describes the third generation as "moving beyond the Web to the Cloud" where developers can "rent these Cloud-based BI tools by the hour." These BI platforms can "support a full range of BI functionality including data exploration and authoring" and can be embedded through standard interfaces like REST and JavaScript. So, how does this third-generation address the issues of cost and complexity?
Utility Pricing Dramatically Reduces Cost
To address the challenge of cost, a new generation of embedded analytics platforms employs a utility-based licensing model where the software is available on a per-core, per-hour or per-gigabyte basis. From a developer's perspective, this is a much fairer model, as one only pays for what is used. At the beginning of the application lifecycle when usage is sporadic, developers can limit their costs. As the application becomes successful and use grows, usage can be easily scaled up. A recent report by Nucleus Research concluded that utility pricing for analytics can save organizations up to 70% of what they would pay for a traditional BI solution. I've written previously about how utility pricing will dramatically increase the availability of analytics, reaching a much broader set of organizations. The rapid adoption of Amazon's Redshift data warehousing service and Jaspersoft's reporting and analytics service on the AWS Marketplace provides rich testimony to the benefits of this model.
Cloud and Web-Standard APIs Reduce Complexity
A cloud-based BI platform significantly simplifies deployment, as there is no BI server to install or configure. The Nucleus Research report found that the utility-priced, Cloud BI solutions could be deployed in weeks or even days as opposed to the months commonly required for a traditional BI product.
Leveraging web-standard APIs like REST and JavaScript, the third-generation platforms also simplify the task of embedding analytics both on the front-end and back-end of the application. Importantly, these APIs allow full-featured, self-service BI capabilities to be embedded, not just reports and dashboards. This means increased ability of the application to respond to the ad-hoc information requests of business users.
The Benefits of Embedded Intelligence
Intuitively, it would seem that, by providing analytics within the applications business people use every day, an organization should experience the benefits of more data-driven decision-making. But is there any proof?
A recent report by the Aberdeen Group, based on data from over 130 organizations, has helped shed light on some of the benefits of embedded analytics. First, as might be expected, those companies using embedded analytics saw 76% of users actively engaged in analytics versus only 11% for those with the lowest embedded BI adoption. As a result, 89% of the business people in these best-in-class companies were satisfied with their access to data versus only 21% in the industry laggards. The bottom line? Companies leading embedded BI adoption saw an average 19% increase in operating profit versus only 9% for the other companies.
Andre Gayle, who helps manage a voicemail service at British Telecom, illustrates the difference embedded analytics can make. "We had reports [before] but they had to be emailed to users, who had to wait for them, then dig through them as needed. It was inefficient and wasteful." Now, thanks to embedded analytics, British Telecom has seen a huge savings in time and cost. As Gayle explains, capacity planning for the voicemail service used to be a "laborious exercise, involving several days of effort to dig up the numbers " but now can be done "on demand, in a fact-based manner, in just a few minutes."
The evidence is mounting that embedding analytics inside the applications business people use every day can lead to quantifiable benefits. However, the protagonist here, unlike in the traditional world of analytics, must be the developer, not the analyst. A new generation of embedded BI platforms is making it easier and more cost effective for developers to deliver the analytical capabilities needed inside the Cloud applications they are building. As developers increasingly avail of these new platforms, we can hope that BI will finally become pervasive as an information service that informs day-to-day operations. As Wayne Eckerson puts it, "In many ways, embedded BI represents the fulfillment of BI's promise." Now it's up to Cloud developers to help us realize that promise.

Do Queen butterflies use common milkweed?
I just have a quick question. I am working on an article about Common milkweed for butterflies and I was wondering if Queen butterflies use Common milkweed for a host plant like the Monarchs do? I don't see Queen butterflies in my area so I am not very familiar with them. I am guessing they would but I don't want to spread misleading info!
Thank You for your help!!
Yes. A more complete list of hostplants is here:
There are duplicate records in the database, so some hostplants appear more than once.
Wow, Larry, what a great resource. I have not come across that one before - thanks!
I should have been more specific. I am referring to Asclepias syriaca as Common milkweed and I don't see it mentioned on that list.
I don't think there is a great overlap between the Queen butterfly's range and where Asclepias syriaca is more likely to be found (central to Northeast US)? Maybe Kansas and Missouri?
I know that here in SC Asclepias syriaca is not a weed that is often seen like it is in other states even though it is shown as being native to this state.
I wonder where the museum gets their information for the data base. It looks like the Queen butterfly has a smaller group of preferred Asclepias or maybe it just has to do with the Danaus gilippus range not overlapping with Asclepias species which are native farther north.
Thanks again
The database is made up of observations by people in the field, probably entomologists or students of the same.
The smaller list of Asclepias for the Queen is likely because there have been fewer collective observations of that butterfly as compared to the more numerous Monarchs.
For information specific to one milkweed species in one U.S. state, you will have to rely on local resources, or a forum member with knowledge about SC.
You might try entering the hostplant in the database and see if any Queens come up in the list; there is always the possibility that these data have not been cross-linked in the database.
Kelly, Here is the list that Dallas Lep Society has for Queens...
"Queen (Danaus gilippus): Blunt-Leaf Milkweed (Asclepias amplexicaulis), Antelope-Horns (A. asperula), Tropical Milkweed (A. curassavica), Slim Milkweed (A. linearis), ButterflyWeed (A. tuberosa), Green Milkweed (A. viridis), and probably other of our native Asclepias spp. Also, Climbing-Milkweed (Sarcostemma cynanchoides) and probably others."
Dale Clark, who is the site's creator, raises butterflies for a living to supply zoos & butterfly houses all over the country.
Hope this helps as well...I have Queens here just west of DFW & have never seen a queen cat on my Common Milkweed...only on A.curassavica, asperula & viridis...& I have all of them in my BF garden.
Good luck,

Pirates, Charles Darwin, and One Very Un-Extinct Dodo

Charles Darwin's family tree tangled with inbreeding, early death
May 3rd, 2010 | 8
Charles Darwin's studies of heredity, adaptation and evolution included many experiments into the effects of crossbreeding and inbreeding in both plants and animals. Such consanguineous pairing often resulted in weaker, more sickly descendants. Ironically, his own lineage and marriage could have been experiments as well. At the age of 29, he proposed to his first [...]Keep reading »

Glass Block Windows and Cold
I live in Michigan and have a cinderblock basement (1200 square feet), year round carpet over 1950's tile on the floor, three heat registers (outlets). I also have 7 windows all of which are glass block. The basement gets very cold during the winter and I'm wondering if the glass block windows are transferring the cold from the outside into my basement.
I've stuffed insulation all around the perimeter between the outer walls and joists. I've also checked for air leaks and found none. I'm wondering if I were to attach a sheet of plexiglass over the glass block window area, if it would warm things up a bit. It would sort of function like an inside storm glass/window. Any thoughts?
BTW, I can't put an auxillary heater down there for a couple more years due to the fact that my three year old boys play down there unsupervised at times. Too risky.
My mom has glass bocks in several basement windows. Her basement was always cold prior to the glass block windows, so I suspect the real problem is due to a lack of heat, rather than heat loss at the windows.
I'm no expert, but 3 heat registers doesn't sound like enough for 1200 sq ft. Also, the heat registers do better job close to the windows.
Do you have any returns? My mom's basement doesn't have any returns and probably could use a few more registers, especially over the windows.
Hope this helps.
We also added glass block to a couple of basements, which improved their warmth. If you simply have cinderblock walls with no insulation, that's also going to be a source of heat loss. Cool air is going to settle, which makes your basement floor potentially the coolest spot in the house. If your basement registers were like mine, they were just cut into the main trunk that went down the center of the house. Since heat rises, and since the heat registers were at the ceiling, the warm air never reached the floor. I'm guessing the cheapest thing to do is circulate the air in the basement, which is probably best done by adding a return air duct.
I'm just guessing in all of this, though.
You have the best hope of achieving a warm basement by making changes on the furnace side. My guess you'll need to add some more registers and returns. You will still need to run the furnace with the fan on continously to keep the cold air from settling in the basement. I have a well insulated basement with returns and plenty of ducts. I use a programable thermostat that allows you to also program the fan setting. When we are home and active, I run the fan all the time and the entire house is the same temperature. The thermostat also has a nice feature, in addition to "fan" and "auto" fan settings it has a "circ" setting that runs the fan with heat demand and 33 % of the time randomly to circulate the air. The thermostat is well worth the money.
good luck

Olivares ready for more Brewers' Spanish play-by-play
As the snow continues to fall and we drive and slide around slush-filled corners and pot-holed roadways, I find it is relaxing to think of the sun-soaked days ahead.
There's no better reminder of summer than baseball players reporting for spring training. The players are getting ready now as OnMilwaukee sports writer Jim Owczarski has been reporting. The first preseason game is only a few weeks away as the Dodgers face the Brewers on March 1 at Maryvale Baseball Park.
The ball clubs, and all of the staff members who work on game day are making preparations for another season, and I can almost smell the brats and burgers on the grill.
Those who work in media are getting ready too. The sports radio talk show hosts, producers, photographers, graphic artists, sound mixers and many others are looking over notes, checking all of the recording gear and getting everything prepared for what can be a promising year.
One person who is also getting ready is Andy Olivares, who is entering his seventh season as the Spanish play-by-play announcer for the Milwaukee Brewers.
"Depending on how the schedule goes, I should be doing around 30 games this year," Olivares said.
When we last chatted about baseball, we talked about his early love for the game that developed when he was a child in the Dominican Republic. I was telling a friend about how Olivares when he was 8 or 9 years old would ask to have the volume turned down on the television set and he'd do the play-by-play.
"That's right," Olivares said. "I'd be doing the play-by-play and before I knew it, other people would come by and listen to me do it. They would tell me that I should go out and do that. Their support was incredible."
This year, Olivares believes the Brewers have all the pieces they need for a good season.
"I'm looking to some of the younger players to see how they develop," he said. "I think they could step up and make a contribution."
Olivares will be making the call for a number of the home games on WRRD-AM ESPN Deportes 1510 and some will be broadcast on WYTU-TV Telemundo Wisconsin Ch. 63. You can also hear his weekly show "En La Jugada con Andy Olivares" (On the Play with Andy Olivares) on Saturday mornings on WRRD ESPN Deportes 1510.
In the fall, Olivares did football play-by-play calling for the Green Bay Packers on Telemundo Wisconsin with WDJT-TV CBS 58's Kevin Holden. In their second season, the pair saw ratings success covering three of the team's preseason games. He's now known for his signature "ta-ta-ta-touchdown" scoring call.
Beyond sports, Olivares has been keeping busy as well. He recently launched Olivares Communications and Marketing in Milwaukee to serve area firms, organizations and businesses.
"This has been something that I've wanted to do for a long time," Olivares said. "This really is a culmination of a 20-year-dream to meet the need of connecting a diverse community of businesses and consumers."
Leveraging his contacts in the area Latino community and the sports and media world, Olivares told me that he is really looking forward to helping others build their business with his firm and through that, building a better community.
What I've found in dealing with my peers in the media world, that perseverance is a key trait needed to survive a rough and unforgiving industry. Seeing Olivares come from doing pretend broadcasts for his family members in the Dominican Republic to doing real ones a few doors down from Bob Uecker at Miller Park … I know that he will be successful with any venture he takes on.

|Q&A with Clemson's Sammy Watkins
|by TigerNet Staff - Friday, March 15, 2013 5:17 PM
Q: Some people have mentioned you as a possible Heisman Trophy contender, is that something you think about?
SW: Man, honestly I don't. I have so many awards that I got my freshman year, that I honestly don't focus on that. I haven't seen those awards yet since I got them. They are back home at my parent's house up in a case, but I'm not focused on that. I'm more of a team goal-person, trying to win a championship, trying to win 12-games, trying to win the ACC … that's the type of person that I am. It's a good accomplishment that you win individual awards, but it's a better experience with your team.
Q: How important is it to become a leader on this team?
SW: It's big now because from my ninth to 10th grade, my freshman and sophomore years, I was a quiet guy. I just try to lead by example. Now, I have to take that role and speak up a little bit. Not speak as much, but when I have to speak … If I see a problem, I have to speak up and tell the guys, 'Let's go. Let's pick it up, man. You've got to watch film' and stuff like that. I wasn't that guy, but now I have to be. I have to transition into that guy and become a better leader. That's why last year, I was too quiet. I was too nonchalant, but now I have to step up and come out of my comfort zone.

Waterfall pump question
I figured I'd ask here since there are so many great people on these forums.
After many years of debate over what to do with our existing spa that has a waterfall, we decided we wanted to keep the waterfall feature and lower the wall of the spa. Main reason was we knew there was a leak above the waterline we were going to use for the waterfall and we didn't want to spend the $ to explore where it was, repairs, etc. I begged my DH to TEST IT before we started construction, but he didn't. And the waterfall doesn't work now. The intakes for the water are below the waterline. However, the pump appears to be pushing out water instead of sucking it in to power the waterfall. We tried filling the pump with the hose while attempting to block the water inlets and then sealing the pump really fast and flipping the switch. We got a little gurgle to come up the pipe in the waterfall, but nothing else. My FIL who is an engineer said the problem was that the line for the pump needed to be located BELOW the waterline. So if we rerouted the line and put the pump at a lower level(this is on a slope, so is doable), then it should work. Before we go about cutting pipes and relocating the pump, do any of you pros out there feel this will fix the issue as well? Is there any way to remedy the issue without relocating pipes and the pump? Maybe a stronger pump? It is currently a 2 hp one.

I purchased this carpet for my son's room. It does shed a lot, but I think that's pretty much par for the course when it comes to wool rugs. I've been vacuuming pretty much everyday, and the shedding has decreased significantly. My only complaint (and it is minor), is that the blues are much darker than they were online. Overall, I think the rug is a great value and am happy with my purchase.
This rug has a blue-gray border and a gray center. Good quality, soft feel. Not nearly as thick as the pile description, yet we still like it.
quality of rug was good.the colour was very different from picture the two colours of blue were not compatible
We have had this rug for over a year now and it is still shedding. It is in my son's room and if I sit on the floor to play with him with black yoga pants on, my back side is covered in blue fibers from the rug. I think over time the shedding has decreased but I thought by now it would have stopped. I found the color on the listing to be the same color of the actual rug. Overall it is a nice thick rug but the shedding drives me nuts!
I searched all over for a nice area rug for my 3 yeal old's room. I wanted it to be thick and soft enough to play on but not too shag-like, which is hard to clean. This is perfect and looks great with the greyish-blue walls and navy blue comforter. It does shed a little but it's not terrible and I assume it'll decrease over time.
I bought this several years and it's still in great shape.

QuakeForge 0.6.0 Released In Time For Christmas 30
from the winter-solstice-lan-party dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I guess it says something about how long it takes to make professional games, that it's taken so long.
This and Duke Nukem Forever in the same year. Punctuated equilibrium [wikipedia.org] at work.
But it's not being done by professionals - at least not as part of their day job. So it doesn't necessarily say anything other than that the developers probably have lives or other projects outside of QuakeForge.
Far better Quake sourceports have popped up that have taken a lot less time than this. Darkplaces and ezQuake seem to still be in development and look fantastic.
Considering the vast scope of different kinds of 'professional games', there is no set amount of time any game will take to construct. This isn't a 9-5 crew of professional game developers, it's a trickle of interested parties in their free time.
If a dedicated team of professional game developers puts their heads together and spends a decent amount of time, good quality 'professional' games could be churned out as quickly as every few months.
With the last game I worked on with a small team full-time we were
... you could do worse than checking out nQuake http://nquake.com/ (which provides you with everything you need to play) or ezQuake http://ezquake.sourceforge.net/ (just the client, bring your own Quake CD).
+1, Mr. Coward. ezquake on linux has been my favorite native client game for many years.

The Quake source code was released TWELVE YEARS AGO?
