Heat Reduction Wrap Installation - That's A Wrap!
Written by on April 1, 2010 Reducing Underhood Temperatures And Protecting ComponentsSince putting my '46 roadster pickup on the street, the cheap aftermarket GM-style starter motor had become more and more lazy, to the point where it would need to cool down for an hour or so before it would start the engine again. Clearly this was unacceptable, and it became apparent that the excessive heat underhood had "cooked" it and the solenoid to the point where they needed to be replaced. But simply replacing it would not cure the problem; I would have to address the heat problem.
When I fabricated the inner fenders I punched louvers in them to let excess heat escape, as well as leaving a 1-inch gap between them and the sides of the firewall in the same manner as stock inner fenders, but this wasn't enough. The small-block Chevy I'd installed has always run at 210 degrees, and a larger radiator with dual electric fans is next on my "to-do" list. But short of cutting vents into the sides of the hood (I'd contemplated louvers in the hood top but didn't want that heat blowing out and back in through the cowl vent). I was at a loss to figure out how to reduce the underhood temperature, which also made the cabin extremely uncomfortable, especially on drives across the desert, which, let's face it, surrounds the Southern California area in which I live!
OK, so I haven't yet installed heat or sound insulation inside the cab, with a bare-metal floor and firewall, but again, this wouldn't cure the heat buildup in the engine compartment. Discussing the problem last year with Jim Henderson from Thermo Tec, he suggested that his company's products may provide the answer. And with the starter motor going AWOL, I figured now was the time to conduct a few heat-mapping tests.
I'd always figured the old plain steel headers I'd found at a swap meet (literally, they were in a dumpster at the end of the day, so I pulled them out to make way for the wheels I wanted to dump!) were part of the reason for the high temperatures. I figured a new set of ceramic-coated headers from Patriot Exhaust Products might help the situation, as well as a high-torque mini starter from Summit Racing (which would take up less room and hence offer more air circulation), plus adding heat insulation products from Thermo Tec, wrapping the starter, wiring, and headers. This would allow me to measure any temperature drop in stages, showing improvements along the way.
I first measured the temperature of the starter and headers at various points before any work took place, running the motor for 15 minutes from cold with the hood shut, then replaced the starter and headers and repeated the procedure, finally wrapping the new headers and taking readings once again. I should mention here that most header manufacturers don't recommend wrapping their products, and it will invariably invalidate any warranty. Ceramic-coated headers are already very good at lowering temperatures, as will be seen, but I wanted to experiment and lower the level of heat both underhood, and consequently, inside the cabin, as much as possible, so I ignored this advice!
The table on page 76 charts the differences in temperature at each stage, and makes for interesting observation. All temperatures are in degrees Fahrenheit.
What's immediately obvious is that the ceramic-coated headers reduced the temperatures significantly, while fitting the mini starter saw a temperature drop of around a third. Also obvious is that the temperature of the starter dropped yet again once the heat shield was installed, yet the exhaust temperatures rose to and even beyond the baseline temperatures. I'll explain why but first must mention that despite the high readings, the wrapped headers could be touched by hand (try that with bare steel or coated headers!) and the ambient temperature underhood, as well as inside the car once out on the road, had also dropped significantly.
So just what was going on? Well, it's all down to how the exhaust wrap works. Wrapping the headers maintains exhaust gas heat within the header, the material developed by Thermo Tec having the ability to conduct heat across its surface. The silica-based fabric (not asbestos!) of the Header Wrap , which has a patented inorganic coating, was developed so as not to over insulate the system, as it is important to retain only a specific amount of heat. Maintaining a higher temperature in the headers increases flow and improves the scavenging effect, allowing the gases to escape more quickly, and the engine to breathe more efficiently. While I was concerned with reducing temperatures and protecting electrical components, the improved efficiency and reduction in contamination of gases provides a moderate increase in torque and power. For detailed explanations and dynamometer readings, check out Thermo Tec's website; I'm just pleased my truck is cooler underhood, cooler to drive, and starts every time, even when hot!

I'm not one to critique and will be buying the shirt.... once I decide if I should have it or my son LOL But I just noticed something and now it's bothering me The carrot is backwards in the rabbit's mouth to how it would have been on the snowman.... unless he's a magical rabbit who did some funky spin move when he stole it?

It's only $10 on debut day; it reverts to the regular $15 price afterwards.

All shirts are $10 only on their first day of sale. They are always $15 thereafter. If it helps, think of it as a $10 introductory sale price, with the regular price actually being $15. It's always been like that.
I love this and had to have it. I'm only sorry I can't buy enough to save it. This one deserves another week. =o)

Thanks adorabrooke. I hope you enjoy the shirt. ^_^
I agree with Adorabrooke! This shirt deserves to be around longer and it's a shame that the tremendous holiday sales for the older shirts will prevent this one from hanging around and having more sales, which I know it would. Mine is scheduled to arrive this week and I can't wait to wear it. Just wish others could have the opportunity to buy it as winter moves along..... Thanks, Spiritgreen, I do love it.
Spiritgreen wrote:Thanks adorabrooke. I hope you enjoy the shirt. ^_^
You're entirely welcome, and I will, thank you! =o)
Bought this one for my niece. She's the most adult 3 y/o I know.
I received mine this past week and wore it to work yesterday (at a preschool). Needless to say the kids absolutely LOVED it! They all laughed, even though it took some longer than others to figure it out.... And none of them mentioned the carrot being backwards, so maybe it's just me LOL
Got this for our 5-year-old who can't stop giggling at it. He has a song he has been singing too which made this short just that much more awesome. A snowman, a snowman, I built a little snowman with a raisin mouth and cookie eyes and a carrot for a nose that's fine. A bunny, a bunny, I saw a little bunny. He sniffed the air for his lunch, he ate my carrot, crunch, crunch, crunch.
I wore this shirt today. It was so much fun watching people smile as they passed by.
Did anyone else order this shirt on the 24th, never receive it, and then get a refund without explanation today? We really wanted this shirt.

I read somewhere there probably won't be an American release due to legal hangups from Battle of the Planets/G-Force anime days. I'll do some digging to see what the deal is there, but from what I read it's unlikely.
If this is half as good as Space Battleship Yamato live action from a couple of years ago, it'll be fantastic!

Usabilla and Loop11
User experience research can mean the difference between a product's success and failure. You might, for example, watch users who are playing a video game for the first time to see where they get lost, confused, or bored. You might review clickstream data to see where customers abandon their shopping carts. You could do formative research to help define features for a new product by interviewing people about their needs and preferences.
Not all of this research is done face-to-face. Remote research—recruiting and interviewing people without face-to-face contact—offers lots of advantages over more traditional research. Remote methods allow you to talk to people all over the world without travel expenses. A broader range of users provide a broader range of perspectives. Easier, cheaper, and better research? Rock n' roll.
Now several services promise to make remote testing even easier, cheaper, and faster, but how well do they work? To find out, I used two of them, Usabilla and Loop11, to help with some real research I am doing for a company called Livefyre.
Livefyre is a San Francisco-based startup that has developed a conversation platform that can be used as an online community at livefyre.com, or as a commenting widget incorporated into blogs. The team at Livefyre asked me to help them answer some questions about how people are using and understanding their new site.
Some of their main concerns were:
- new visitors to livefyre.com might not understand the purpose of site
- new users might have difficulty getting started
- creating an account might pose barriers
- some users might be turned off that accounts needed to be tied to either a Facebook or Twitter accounts
We crystalized these issues into the following user research study questions:
- What do you think that people do on this website?
- What's the first thing you'd like to do on this page?
- Where would you go to create an account?
Login Overlay
- Is this login page what you expected to see?
- Do you feel comfortable entering your Facebook or Twitter username/password when you create accounts on other sites?
And so I used these questions to test whether Usabilla and Loop11 could help answer these questions through remote user research.
Usabilia Testing
I started with Usabilla. Usabilla promises "hassle free usability testing" through "one-click" tests: "You ask your users a question and they answer it by clicking anywhere on the screen." Access starts at $49 to test 10 pages and goes up to $950 to test 250 pages.
I wasn't exactly sure how it worked, but I jumped in to figure it out.
First you upload a screenshot of your site. There is an option to paste in a site's URL, but it's a bit misleading; Usabilla just takes a screenshot of that page, and the screenshot it takes is only above the fold. I wanted to ask questions about the entire homepage, not just the part above the fold, so I had to download and install a Firefox extension to do a full-screen grab (I used Screengrab). I took screenshots of both the homepage and the homepage with the "Join Livefyre" overlay.
After uploading them to Usabilla, I then moved on to the question component. Usabilia recommends default questions, but they didn't seem very useful. I added my own questions: the three questions about the homepage and the two about the account creation dialog listed above.
Once I had uploaded the pages I wanted testers to evaluate and added (or selected) the questions to ask on those pages, I was done. Usabilia then generated a URL to share the test.
Overall, I found the process to be fairly painless once I figured out about the full-page screenshot. The downside, though, is that since you're only looking at static images you can't show site interactions. The Livefyre site has some lovely interface behaviors that a picture of the site can't convey.
I sent the URL to four test users. Unfortunately, it didn't work well. The users didn't know that they had to click on the page to add a note, and then add an annotation to this note in order to answer a question. They would just click to progress to the next question and there was no way to return to respond to a previous question. The process—clicking to add a note—was described in an introductory movie that none of them watched.
Because of this significant usability issue, I would not trust the data I would get from a larger-scale study.
Would I try Usabilla again? Probably not. The same answers could have been gained for free, and more easily, by posting screenshots along with a form created in Google Docs. If you're primarily interested in how a large group of users navigates your site, you would be better served by traditional traffic analysis using Web analytics tools.
- Easy to set up
- Somewhat inexpensive
- Usability problems
- Impossible to test interactions
You're probably better off doing a survey along with basic traffic analysis.
Loop11 Testing
Loop11 required more effort to get started and the pathway to beginning a new project was not as clear as with Usabilla. I signed up for a free trial and forged ahead.
The biggest difference I saw at first was that Loop11 uses live HTML pages rather than screenshots. An obvious benefit is that you don't have to go through the hassle of getting screenshots. But a less obvious problem is that you can't easily test a dynamic page that changes without changing the URL.
Here's what I mean: my little study was looking at two pages, the homepage (livefyre.com) and the overlay that appears when you click on "Join." The URL is the same for both. I was stymied as to how I could ask a question about the "Join" overlay. I ended up just telling the users to click on the "Join" button to complete the test.
Loop11 allows you to enter either "questions" or "tasks." I entered the first question, "What do you think that people do on this website?" and was pleased to see that I could choose the question format.
What I didn't realize, though, was that I could not ask a question and display the Livefyre site at the same time. The site can only be displayed for a "task" such as "Click on a button." Any questions appear separately on otherwise blank pages. In order to ask a question about the site, I created a task to "Spend a minute looking over this page. Then click 'Task Complete' to continue."
Then on the next screen I asked a question: "What do you think that people do on this website?"
This felt clunky, but I couldn't figure out a better alternative.
As I added more questions and tasks I got a better sense of the real value of Loop11. The ability to alternate survey-type questions with task analysis is something that I haven't seen before, and it's potentially very powerful. You could ask, for example, "How many times have you gone to the grocery store this month?" and then ask the participant to navigate part of a recipe site. Would people who shop for groceries more often find it easier to navigate a menu of ingredients? There are lots of possibilities for how this mix of questions and tasks could add a useful dimension to user research.
I launched the test and shared the URL with four participants. They all found the process of using Loop11 straightforward and did not have trouble using it. They did note, though, that it was difficult to answer a question about a page that they had previously seen without being able to look at it at the same time.
The dashboard displays the number of responses, the paths that the participants took when responding to tasks, and the answers to questions. For each participant you also get a breakdown of total time spent on the test, average time taken on tasks, and average page views per tasks. For the Livefyre test, most of these metrics weren't very useful.
Going through the process of creating, launching, and analyzing a test helped me understand that Loop11 is optimized for research into specific task completion such as, "How quickly can users find an answer in the help center?" rather than more open-ended tasks like the ones I was working with.
I would say that Loop11 will be a great tool further down the line with Livefyre. At this point, as we do work that requires a nuanced understanding of messaging comprehension, Loop11 provides some insight. As we do more research into user task flows it will be a great tool. Also, it integrates with Ethnio, which is a great remote testing recruiting tool. It will be interesting to see how the partnership between these two services continues.
- Flexible question format
- Ability to track and measure tasks
- Integration with Ethnio
- Can't ask questions on a page with visuals
- Relatively expensive
If you have a budget to work with and tasks to measure, this would be a great tool to add to your arsenal.
As we wrap up, remember that these are just tools; they support, but don't replace, the work that a researcher does. Just as with all research tools, you need to understand what you want to discover, what questions to ask, who you should ask, and what insights you can glean from the resulting data.
Have you used remote testing tools? What's your experience? Please share in the comments below.

I'd like to recommend Justinmind Prototyper (http://www.justinmind.com) as a tool to make HTML prototypes that can be tested using both Usabilla and Loop11
Is there any ficility to capture the flow of application using Usabilla ? or does it capture only screenshots?
Thanks again for the feedback. We've just released an update for our test interface, which makes it easier for participants to share feedback with notes:
This is a useful article and discussion. I'd like to note that usertesting.com is really unmoderated usability sessions that you don't gain metrics/qual data from like you do with Usabilla and Loop11. They're just different beasts.
Bolt | Peters also checked out both Usabilla and Loop11 this week (May 14) for a test and we have a few notes to add to Julie's write-up:
*Usabilla does take screenshots below the fold now (that was one thing we liked)
*I'm sure no one watches the introductory movie: which is why we timed it (30-seconds) and left an explicit comment to watch it to learn how to interact
*We also explicitly added a comment in the "help text" for the first question reminding users of how to click and add anote
*Usabilla has now added the feature to deactivate, edit, and re-run your test — you can't duplicate one yet, but you can deactivate to tweak which we weren't able to do before
*it does not work with Flash websites (of which there are a lot)
*it does not work with Facebook.com which blocks users from logging in if the site is hosted on another domain — smart, but it means you can't use Loop11 to test interactions on or with Facebook
The space is heating up.. thanks for the write up! We did one of our own back in the Loop11 closed beta days. Including a "crowd-source" usability analysis trend headed up by Feedback Army
Hi there,
Interesting article, but you forgot the most useful tool (well, in my totally biased opinion anyway) http://intuitionhq.com - we've tried to be a bit different from sites like Usabilla and Loop11, easier to use, and requiring much less of an investment of time.
I think it could be quite helpful for you at this stage in your design process, and you could get some pretty revealing information pretty quickly.
If you'd like to have a play, hit us up on twitter @intuitionhq or through the website - we'd happily set you up with a free test if you'd like to try it out.
Thanks, and good luck with your new site!
Remote methods allow you to talk to people all over the world without travel expenses. A broader range of users provide a broader range of perspectives.
Thanks for this review. The Austin Usability Professionals Association recently held a panel in which UXers discussed Morae, UserVue, ClickTale, UserFly, Silverback, VMWare and WebEx. My notes from that meeting are posted here: http://www.erinlynnyoung.com/335/user-research-notes/
I hadn't heard of conceptfeedback.com (comment above) so I look forward to checking that out.
Thanks for the review Juliette.
Usabilla is designed for studies with a large number of participants (100 - 1000 participants. The answers of a larger test group are presented with scatterplots and heatmaps. A study with 4 participants is like taking a Porsche for a test drive and only use the first gear.
You can use Usabilla to set up behavioral tests and to collect feedback (attitude). We offer two types of tasks: standard tasks and "One-Click" tasks. A standard task allows participants to answer a question by adding multiple points to the screen. They can add a notes to these points (optional) to share some additional feedback. The second type of tasks (One-Click) allows participants to only add one point. This way you can analyze task performance (time, position of a click).
Especially your second question 'What do you think that people do on this website' is difficult to answer with Usabilla and is a question you could better ask in a post test survey. We can definitely improve the way we guide our users in setting up a test and help them to select the right tasks. We published some demo cases on our blog and we're definitely going to add more examples in the near future.
I really appreciate that you point out some interesting issues we need to solve. We're constantly improving Usabilla and it's great to hear how people are using our product. We're working on some exciting new features. In about 2 months you'll be able to test user flows (participants can click through multiple screens) and we're working on the first prototypes for live feedback on a webpage (test without a screenshot).
Having practised user experience research for years, I appreciate and welcome gladly both of these cost-efficient online tools.
Unfortunately http://www.usertesting.com cannot be used in Scandinavia. We do not have the possibility to use the TechSmith Morae's extension UseVue here either even though I regularly use my Morae.
Thanks for the useful review!
Interestingly, I've found http://www.usertesting.com to be the best of both worlds. For $40/user, you can give them a task (there's no page limit) to complete and get a screen video of their actions as well as a narration as they work through the scenario. They also write responses to four follow up questions you provide.
The best part is you don't have to provide the users and you can get results in short order (we has complete results in an hour). You can also select the demographic information on who does the testing.
It's not perfect, but it's cheap enough that you can get real world feedback in short order, and flexible that you aren't limited in testing scope.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

PokerStrategy.com was founded by German mathematic and philosophy graduate and Fixed Limit high stakes player Dominik Kofert. The website's membership was initially limited by the founders to German-speaking poker enthusiasts.Initially, Dominik Kofert created PokerStrategy.com as a forum through which poker enthusiasts could communicate and exchange knowledge, views, and opinions about playing poker. Partnering with chess Grand Master Matthias Wahls, the team noticed a correlation between strategy and skill-based games such as chess and MMORPGs and attracted early members to the site at offline chess tournaments and through online game forums.
Gradually adding support for poker students in English and Russian, and eventually offers in 15 languages, by November 2008 1.8 million players had registered with the site; by June 2015 it was easily the largest poker community in the world with over 7 million members.

Call for capable people to do a comparison of rippers |
Call for capable people to do a comparison of rippers |
Jul 26 2010, 00:13
Group: Admin Posts: 2552 Joined: 26-September 01 From: Denmark Member No.: 21 |
Over the years and recently (here and here) there have been many discussions and questions about the differences between different cd rippers. New rippers with secure ripping facilities (dbpoweramp, CUEtools, foobar etc) have emerged in recent years and it is now difficult to judge compared to some years ago when the only answer was EAC. For this reason I thought it could be very good to have a page at the wiki trying to explain in a concise form what the differences are. I was imagining a table with features like we have done for the Lossless format comparison but probably also additional text is required. I do not consider myself close to competent to try to do this but I have tried to setup a starting point for such a page here: http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?ti...n_of_CD_rippers I hope the capable people here will invest some time into this so as to save time repeating these points. Please post your thoughts on this idea: how best to organize?, what to put in the table?, which programs are relevant?, what other issues need to be explain in text?, etc. Some more links: wikipedias list of rippers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD_ripper Kind of comparison here for secure ripping features: http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Secure_ripping |

CUETools does now check the offset checksum, at least when the track checksum doesn't match. I wonder if it still does anyway and what it would do if the track checksum matches and the offset checksum doesn't. -------------------- My eyes are equipped with false negative prevention.

Following your blood pressure at home has gotten a lot easier in the last few years. I'm Dr. Alan Greene. I'd like to share with you a little bit about that.
Not too long ago when you wanted to follow your blood pressure at home, you had to have the old fashion sphygmomometer, and the device was a complex as that word sounds. You had to pump something up, and put a stethoscope in your ears, and fumble all these different tubes and even so wouldn't get a very accurate reading.
Now, there are simple, high quality, digital blood pressure cuffs. They're easy to use at home. They're built so they snap on the arm very easily, just press a single button, and the chip inside does the work for you. It blows it up, it gives you the reading, and some of the newer models even connect it to your PC and track the readings for you.
Now, how accurate are they? They're really pretty good. I wouldn't trust a single reading that much if you get one that's high or low. I wouldn't be either reassured or panicked. But, I would trust the pattern of readings. So, if you have one that tracks it for you, that's great, if not, just write them down what date and time you took it and see what the pattern is over time.
If there's anything of concern, be sure to report it to your physician.

18.10.2012 /
KTM factory rider Cyril Despres finished second in Stage Four of the Morocco Rally to reclaim the overall lead in a dramatic day where sand storms reduced visibility hindering navigation and his main rival and yesterday's leader retiring with engine problems.
The entire field was shaken up in the fourth stage and eventual stage winner, KTM's Kuba Przgonski was the one who triumphed in very difficult conditions, coming home in three hours 28.44, two minutes 27 ahead of Cyril Despres. With Marc Coma out with a dislocated shoulder after yesterday's crash and the overall leader Helder Rodrigues of Portugal out today with engine problems, the way is now clear for Despres to make his mark on the remaining days.
Riders tackled about 250 km of tough desert riding with a mix of rocky piste and sand dunes but it was the notorious sand storms that gave them the most problems with very poor visibility. This resulted in a significant reshuffle of the leader board, which saw many of the top ten riders up to now drop down the order. The difficult conditions could also be a problem for the lead riders in tomorrow's stage. It covers a lot of the same territory and is about the same distance. Przgonski is in charge of opening the track, not an enviable job given the sand storm situation.

Reds take on Braves behind road-weary Bailey
Minor looks to improve at home; Atlanta possibly without Uptons
The road has not been overly kind to the Reds as of late, as Thursday's win over the Braves was just their fourth in the last 13 games away from Great American Ball Park. Cincinnati is 2-3 on the current road trip and 22-25 away from home on the season.
Starting pitcher Homer Bailey, who will take the mound for the Reds on Saturday against the Braves, has not been exempt from the team's road woes. In each of his last two road starts, Bailey has surrendered four runs in six innings or less. Bailey is just 2-6 with a 4.61 ERA in eight road starts in 2013.
Bailey entered his most recent start coming off the second no-hitter of his career, but he couldn't bring that momentum with him to Milwaukee, where he failed to make it out of the sixth inning after giving up 10 hits and three walks.
"He battled like a dog," Reds manager Dusty Baker said of Bailey, who gave up all four of his runs with two outs. "He got out of some tough jams. The sad part was, he was almost out of those jams every time, especially early."
Coincidentally, Bailey will square off against Braves starter Mike Minor, who has had trouble getting things going at home this season. In nine starts in Atlanta, Minor is 2-3 with a 3.61 ERA. The 25-year-old left-hander has allowed four earned runs in each of last three starts at Turner Field and taken the loss in two of those outings.
The long ball has been one of Minor's biggest hurdles in Atlanta, as he's given up nine of them at home opposed to just five on the road in the same number of starts. After Minor surrendered six hits, including a homer, in his most recent home start -- a loss to the Marlins -- manager Fredi Gonzalez expressed his confidence in his young lefty.
"I still see the guy that gives you a nice chance to win a ballgame," Gonzalez said.
Braves: Heyward likely done for series
Although Jason Heyward likely won't need a trip to the disabled list as he recovers from a strained right hamstring, the 23-year-old Braves right fielder probably won't play again before the All-Star break.
Heyward injured his hamstring running from first to third in the second inning on Thursday, but he came to the park on Friday feeling better than he did leaving the night before.
"More flexibility in my hamstring, less pain," Heyward said. "It's not as uncomfortable, but there still is pain. I'm still really sore. Still day to day, and that's how we're going to take it and see how I feel each day."
Should Heyward, who is batting .227 with seven homers and 21 RBIs in 67 games, feel up to it, he said there's a chance he could play in the series finale on Sunday. However, it's most likely he takes full advantage of the four off-days that come along with the All-Star break.
• The Braves could also be without the services of B.J. and Justin Upton on Saturday and beyond, after both outfielders left Friday's game early with injuries.
B.J. Upton sustained a right adductor muscle strain when he sprinted in and dove to try to catch a Todd Frazier line drive in the first inning. He missed, and his right knee appeared to stick in the ground, twisting the rest of his body awkwardly. After laying on the ground for several minutes, Upton walked off the field on his own power.
Justin Upton's injury came in the seventh inning, when he exited with a left calf strain after tying to leg out a single off Bronson Arroyo. The Braves announced that he would be re-evaluated before Saturday's game.
Reds: Choo leading team at plate
After going hitless against the Giants on July 1, the rest of the month has been good to Reds leadoff hitter Shin-Soo Choo.
With a 2-for-5 performance on Friday, Choo extended his season-high hit streak to 10 games. The 31-year-old center fielder has gone 17-for-42 (.405) in that stretch with four doubles and three RBIs.
Choo's streak is the longest active one on the team. Five games into Reds' final road trip before the All-Star break, Choo has gone 9-for-22 (.409) with six runs scored.
Worth Noting
• Bailey is 2-0 with a 3.42 ERA in four career starts against the Braves, including a no-decision in Cincinnati on May 7, when he allowed four runs on five hits and four walks in five innings.
• Mike Minor has seen the Reds twice in his career, most recently limiting them to one run and four hits in seven innings on May 8.
• The Reds seek back-to-back road wins on Saturday for the first time since beating the Cubs in three straight games June 10-12.

Thank you for your compliments.
Optima flour is actually flour to which sweetener, cake improvers, rising agents have been added. It is less a flour, and more a cake mix. You can use ordinary sponge cake recipe if you've a good soft sponge cake recipe provided the cake is not over baked or else the cake will cracks when rolling up.
Leave the cake to cool before removing the skin from the cake.
Hope this helps.

I love the polka dots :D I'm wondering if i can add chocolate emulco to the remaining batter(swiss roll) and leave the polka dots colour plain.
Lx. Hi Ann
I noticed that there is no sugar and baking powder in your recipe but I have seen them in other swiss roll recipe. Could you tell me why you dont add these ingredients? Is it ok if I replace the butter with canola oil as I dont like butter? I am going to try this recipe cos my children will be fascinated with the design. Thanks.- FathimaApril 7, 2013 at 2:01 PM
Hey Wat a creativity , hats off... Btw can u pls clear me a doubt .. Usually when v bake a cake , the bottom layer turns nice brown color .. How u achieved white here making the polka dots so visible ...
ReplyDeleteRepliesHi Fathima, Only the top of cake is brown not the bottom. The polk dots are piped at the bottom.
Delete- FathimaApril 7, 2013 at 5:40 PM
Ann, sorry for bothering u so much.. But I find my cakes brown at the bottom ... Wat would be the reason and how to avoid it ., since v need white bottom for this one ... I Really want to try this fantabulous art cake
Delete Fathima, sorry that I've not never encountered your problem before. BTW did you place the cake tray at the center of the rack in the oven?
- FathimaApril 10, 2013 at 7:27 PM
Ya Ann I place it on the center rack , should I Try it on higher shelf ?? ... My another humble request , pls upload cool cake recipe , where the cake is juicy smoothy unlike sPonge cake...

No. I don't recommend staying in Step 1 until the desire is removed -- because that won't remove the desire or the obsession.
The phenomena of "craving" only takes place AFTER we take a drink... that's why we can't take the first drink. It's the first drink that set's up the "craving" for the 2nd. drink.
The phenomena of "mental obsession" with drinking is not the same as "craving."
So, if you're "thinking (obsessing) on drinking" as a solution... you're "not craving"... you're experiencing the "mental obsession"... which the BB refers to as "the mind of an alcoholic."
We often refer to this as "being dry" (without alcohol) verses "sobriety" (which means MORE than physically sober).
The ONLY way I know of -- to get to SOBRIETY (which is having the mental obsession removed and restored to sanity) is to take ALL 12 Steps.
As long as your thinking of drinking -- you have the mind of an alcoholic. That's what "insanity" is referring to in Step 2. "the insanity of drinking".
The AWAKENING referred to in Step 12, is the result of a "transformation of thought and attitudes" -- which takes place as a RESULT of "these Steps" (ALL 12 Steps).
Here's the deal in a nutshell.
Step 1: You're on borrowed time and you're going to drink again, and for you to drink again is to die -- unless you get to Step 12 as soon as possible. You don't have the Power to "not drink". You can "not manage" not to drink. That's what you're admitting in Step 1.
Step 2: You're admitting your crazy -- in regards to drinking. You're nuts in regards to alcohol. This is WHY Step 1 is a fact for you -- that you WILL drink again, because you're alcoholic -- UNLESS you experience the transformation of thought & attitude that comes about as a result of ALL 12 Steps.
Step 3: You simply made a DECISION to do something about it. You HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING YET -- other than to make a decision.
It's like -- you know you got to go to the bathroom. So, you make a decision to go to the bathroom. If you wait too long to get to the bathroom -- because you "only decided" to go -- you'll mess in your pants.
Steps 4 through 9: is where you're ACTUALLY DOING what you decided to do in Step 3. If you don't do it SOON ENOUGH -- you're guaranteed to drink again -- and to drink is to die.
In Step 10: You get restored to "sanity" (the alcoholic mind is gone)... "one day at a time."
Until you get to Step 10... you're "just not drinking... one day at a time"... and you're still nuts... which means that you still have "no power" at all, you're screwed, and doomed to die an alcoholic death... because you can't manage on your own to "just not drink."
At Step 10, you're no longer nuts... and the alcohol problem has been removed. You're "not cured"... but you "no longer even think about drinking or not drinking"... what you're focus is at Step 10 is to "maintain your newly restored sanity".... by daily practicing & doing -- what you did from Step 1 through Step 9.
So... IF you're Step 1 is thorough & complete... how long do you suppose you'll drag your feet to get to Step 10... knowing that you're on borrowed time that WILL be shortly running out?
You're "alcoholic mind" will tell you -- "Oh! That's not me! I'm going to stay sober!" And, the next thing you know... out of the blue... without even thinking about drinking... you look in your hands, and what do you find? You discover that you've already started drinking again!
You have to DESIRE sobriety SO MUCH... that you become not just willing to go to any lengths... but you ACTUALLY DO go to any lengths... to stay sober... and "that means" taking ALL 12 Steps NOW.

a common software center for all package based distros (and if possible for all distros) would be the best thing to happen to linux
the implementation of something like that would probably be a bit tricky
Phoronix: Debating A Software Center For Fedora
There's an active discussion on the Fedora mailing list concerning a "software center" for Fedora Linux...
a common software center for all package based distros (and if possible for all distros) would be the best thing to happen to linux
the implementation of something like that would probably be a bit tricky
isnt this what packagekit was going to do ? seems that will never happen. and why would all linux look or act the same ? then why have so many distros? just kill those with little marketshare and then all linux will look the same.
if i wanted a distro that behaves and looks like ubuntu then i would use ubuntu.
imo the only duplication that should be killed is the RPM vs DEB fiasco. They should unify this crap into one, maybe something like "dpm" ?
anyway Ubuntu software center is going to be so good in the next releases, so am sticking with it.
Presence of one-click "application-center" is what distinguishes user-friendly os from developer-only os.
You do I hope realize that unifying the package formats will not create universal packages I hope? And outside of the Source-Based Distros + Arch, There are no non-Debian-or-non-Ubuntu-Derivatives that haven't already standardized on RPMs. Note that Across even the Debian|Ubuntu Line there can be massive incompatibilities, So why should you expect that across Distro families that a universal package would be compatible?
as to your packagekit complaint, yes that's part of what packagekit is supposed to be about, but the idea I've gathered is more or less have the System Administrator Types Package manager (packagekit) and have the more general user's package manager (Bretzn), with Bretzn being backed by the OpenBuildService in order to create automated distro-specific packages.
I use Ubuntu/Kubuntu and Arch at home. Fedora at university labs. Fedora package management GUI just sucks. Many time even command line yum don't work for lock of packagekit with some unknown package manager(updater may be?). I mean I like fedora's stability, Gnome3 and developer friendliness. But you can all achieve that with a good package management front-end.
Whatever they create I hope it's not created by a python/ruby script kiddie. I want fast startup etc. Unfortunately there's too many feeble minded programmers (at Canonical and elsewhere) who think C++ (or C or alike) are too sophisticated/whatever.
i would say that fedora is more in need of an advanced package GUI like synaptic.
the current software install GUI is simple enough, and would mainly benefit from speed (sounds like zif will fix this), and better search (sometimes i get 500 irrelevant results and sometimes no use results).
also it would be nice if rpm caught up with some of the fancy features in deb, for example distinguishing between depends, recommends and suggests.
Windows doesn't have one and it seems to be doing alright...
However I'm in 100% agreeance that small OS's (ok anything that's not Windows) need to do everything they can to interest users and keep them excited. The amount of software available on Fedora/Ubuntu is staggering but I think most (especially new but also experienced) users have no idea. Some sort of "what's new", "what's hot" type listings would go a long way to building that connection between developer/packager and the users.

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /home/museum2/mof-blog/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plus/classes/filters.class.php on line 117
We arrived at Vumbura around 5 pm and were met by three LandRovers and our guides ST, Ben, and Iman. We left the planes tucked in at the airport and hope the baboons don't break into them. It's a calcrete runway with a Caravan parked where we tied down, so we hope for the best. We were all tired and wanted to go to the lodge but they were determined to treat us to a sundowner on the way, and what an elaborate affair it was…tables groaning with goodies, fresh fruit juices and iced coffees in silver pitchers, champagnes, wines and a full bar. On the way, we stopped in one of the beautiful Fields which look like parks…waving grasses in the late afternoon sun…8 or so elephants, including a curious little one, grazed peacefully regardless of how close we got. What a bucolic scene…because we are in the delta, water and food are plentiful and the animals are healthy looking and quite tame. I lose track of how many animals we saw in our three nights and two days at Vumbura Plains, but suffice to say, we have now seen the Big Five, innumerable of the smaller species, even a Honey Badger, which is rare. A leopard came out of the grasses and climbed up on a fallen tree and posed for us for so long we finally left.

Excellent product

I'm very pleased with this mirror. It's metal, not plastic. I keep it in my purse and use it all the time. I know others say it has a difficult time staying closed, but I have yet to run into the problem.

I will carry this adorable Vamp Up True Blood compact in my purse. I plan to use it to vamp up my look as need be, quick touchups, fix hair, etc. I think it is a little bit small, would have liked a bigger mirror, but overall am very pleased with it.

The mirror appearance is amazing! But it opens to easily as if the screws are loose. Other than that though I love it!
