IAT and custom intake pipes
as you see in the attached pics of my SS custom intake pipe,,
if i kept the MAF exactly in place,, what is the impact of extending the pipe for the filter to go all the way down to fog lamp area for cold air?
i have removed hood weatherstripping and the rubber on top of front bumper for cold air but i still can't have the difference between IAT and ambient lower than 35F degrees,,
any hints?

Re: IAT and custom intake pipes
at what speed at you monitoring difference between ambient temp and IAT? What happens at steady speed of say 55mph?
Re: IAT and custom intake pipes
You should get a Meth injection kit for your setup and take advantage of the cooler IAT...Get the Snow MAX MPG kit so you can cool your IAT from low rpm through to WOT
Re: IAT and custom intake pipes
I have the Alky kit for the V. Pre rotor injection, 100% meth.
Works like a charm

My bet is that the SS pipe has a lot to do with your higher iat's.
The metal soaks up the heat. Try wrapping it in something.. fire resistant insulation in a sleeve? Or buy a cf or plastic pipe.

Re: IAT and custom intake pipes
A report copied from FTL Racing
Methanol/Water Injection - Chemical Intercooling
Methanol/water injection makes power by lowering intake temperatures thus increasing intake charge density and
increasing octane a little (re: methanol) thus reducing knock/detonation allowing your combustion to do work for
you. If you don?t have [a lot of] knock it reduces power as it displaces air and fuel.
Methanol/water injection is better than water injection for two reasons:
a) The alcohol evaporates quicker than water and lowers intake temperatures sooner. It can actually lower
temperatures in a NA car in the intake manifold prior to combustion.
b) Methanol is a high-octane fuel like ethanol and this bumps your fuels octane (just like an ethanol blend fuel).
Further because it is a fuel the effect of displacing the air and fuel into the combustion chamber is reduced.
Unfortunately again like ethanol it only has about 60% the power of petrol and thus cannot make up the difference
it displaces let alone it and the water.
An annoyance for me with methanol/water injection is the need to refill the methonal/water tank. You could put a
larger tank in your car, but then you are talking more weight. I've heard of people using 8 gallon tanks so refills
are nearly monthly, but this translates into an extra 80lbs in your car. Definately not insignificant.
Methanol/water injection does not inject usable air like nitrous into your car?s engine. The oxygen in Methanol
is used in its combustion and is not freed up (disassociated) to burn like nitrous. The oxygen in the water also
does not separate at evaporation. Hydrogen and oxygen disassociates at tremendous temperatures (at 2000 C only 1%
of water is disassociated into Hydrogen and oxygen). Oxygen in nitrous on the other hand completely
disassociates at about 1300c.
An interesting fact about methanol is that it is corrosive to aluminum. I haven?t heard about any problems with this,
but I also haven?t heard of my imports using it long term. In particular I?d be concerned about my intake manifold
and possibly the head. The head is not likely to be a problem because combustion takes care of the methanol, but
the intake system would certainly be a long-term concern for me.
This all adds up to methanol injection being a band-aid solution when you are pushing your motor beyond its efficiency
range and knock is an issue. It can make a huge difference if you are boosting out of your efficiency range and your
intercooler cannot lower the intake temperatures enough to reduce detonation. It can also be beneficial on very hot
days where [again] you have detonation issues. If on the other hand you are running efficiency it?ll reduce your power.
Jackson Racing Supercharger Recommendations
In the case of an EATON blower it can make a lot of sense to run methanol/water injection if an intercooler is not
available and you are pushing high boost (above 8 psi). EATON blowers have relatively lower adbiabaitc efficiencies
and thus above 8 psi the intake temperatures are very high (usually 180f/82c or higher). This cause detonaton issues
and intercooling is VERY helpful. In particular I?d suggest running methanol/water injection on any H22 or D series
motor making over 8 psi. On B series motors I?d strongly suggest the LHT intercooled intake manifold.
Personally i will be using it for my ambient temps go well north of 100F...
I will use the MAX MPG in my caddy, but will use the cooling mist for my tahoe since it has AFM...
Would love to copy the Snow MAX MPG with my cooling mist, but it has a lot more parts to it to do the same task...
Re: IAT and custom intake pipes
I would suggest changing the coolant mix in your intercooler system for a quick and noticible gain >> mine looked like a 50/50 mix when I drained it (probably factory), then I refilled with ~85% distilled water and remaining ~15% was a mix of redline water wetter (like royal purple ice) and dex-cool.
I wanted to get an extra storage reservoir for the IC system but figured I would make one change at a time to see individual improvements. I didn't exactly record the previous temperature values for IAT2 but I can tell you that the IAT2 temperature doesn't rise as quickly with back-to-back WOT runs as it used to. The temps I am seeing (this is my only cooling mod beside D3 "CAI") are now usually under 105* no matter what, and the climiate is becomming summer here too. I think it helped a considerable amount.

Re: IAT and custom intake pipes
As stated in other posts, please be careful with running 100% meth injection. Methanol is extremely flammable. A small leak in your system and you can burn your car to the ground. I know that most of the injection companies, including SNOW, recommend running at least 25% water to reduce the chance of a fire. I have run meth injection in the past and typically used a 70/30 mix without any real performance losses as compared to 100% methanol. Keep in mind that the water in the mix also increases the effective octane rating of your fuel...helping to reduce detonation as well. You can experiment with your mix, but if this is a daily driven car then I would be very hesitant to run 100% meth.
Direct from Snow's site:
9. What ratio of water/methanol is recommended?
• A 50/50 ratio is recommended. This has been demonstrated to be the best for charge/air cooling, excellent detonation control, and safety.
• Ratios of anywhere from 30% to 50% methanol work well and deliver excellent octane gains and cooling.
10. Can I use pure methanol?
While all components of Snow Performance systems are designed to be able to handle pure methanol, it is not recommended for a number of reasons.
• Safety: Pure methanol is easy to ignite witha low 140F degree flash-point and burns with an invisible flame.
• Performance: Water absorbs almost twice as much heat as methanol in the intake and inside the combustion chamber. Water cannot be flash-ignited, so has what is almost an infinite octane number. In the government studies for WWII piston-powered aircraft, 50/50 water-methanol was found to be the best fluid to use for auxiliary fluid injection.

Re: IAT and custom intake pipes
Meth is for power water is for cooling.
I would run "Ace" Windshield Washer Fluid -20f for its 35% meth and 65% water.
More water more cooling, and for your blower, you would just have to add the injectors AFTER the MAF, again, getting the MPG MAX kit is the best for you in light cruising mode with a nice power option, and the fact it takes your injectors as a reference gives you the added bonus of a simple plug and play...Light nozzle turns on at x% and power kicks in at y%
Re: IAT and custom intake pipes
I will say this. One of the experienced shops I interviewed for the work on my V had experience with meth/water mix corrosion & was very anti meth now. So, I have a buddy with a V that had the same system I now have on his car for about 30,000 miles & voiced the concerns of the other shop. He offered to take his car up to his tuner & have them disassemble the intake to see if there was any corrosion going on in the intake/TB/snout/blower. I took him up on that offer. What we found was a pristine inner core... No evidence of any corrosion.
Sooo, I stuck with the 100% meth rather than the mix with water & the possibility that that mix was the reason for the corrosion. Plus, I got another 25rw out of the deal.
Re: IAT and custom intake pipes
1. Yes, 100% meth is very flammable. That's why I don't store it in a plastic container/windshield washer reservoir in the engine compartment.
2. It is corrosive to aluminum, if in its liquid form you soak the aluminum parts in it... Dependent on the system and nozzle size(s) you injecting it on boost @ 165psi through .3mm-1-2mm nozzles. Its chemical properties dictate that it WANTS to vaporize when exposed to air. With proper nozzle placement, it does just that.
3. Water should never be used on a pre-SC injection system due to water never fully vaporizing. It will always be in droplet form and will over time cause damage to the impellor/vanes due to implosion.
4. In hotter climates, methanol will prevent loss of power due the ECU NOT pulling timing at 140 degrees IAT2 and timing can actually be added into the tune resulting in more HP. Why, because even though it doesn't have an octane rating, depending on your school, it equals approx. 116-118 octane.
Lastly boyz..., remember that meth isn't injected constantly, only under boost and you and/or your tuner determine when that is. Mine has been set to come on at roughly 5psi/23% IDC.

Finding your old car
I know this has had to have come up before... Does anyone know of a way to find a car you owned in the past? Secretary of State? I've owned just over 50 cars in 22 years. I wouldn't mind hunting one of two of them down.

I couldn't wait to be rid of it. Why would I want to find it.
My missing old cycles and my missing old snowmobile yes I'd like to find. They were in from the 70's+early 80's and great condition,running rideable when I saw/had them last in the late 90's.

I have had a couple find me. usually involves the police and impound yards looking to score some coin. best one was a car I sold in `90 found me in about 2004. the guy had jumped title and it was still in my name that long. Ypsi police found it and called after a month in impound. they wanted more for the fees then I sold it for

A 68 Camaro found its way back to a friend off mine through an impound yard. It was really nice when he sold it in 1994. I think the guy never titled it, girlfriend kicked him out, car got impounded, and they called Steve. It was a fucking shell in 2010 that looked like it was living in a field.

Going back before computers at the SOS won't work. Sometimes you can find vehicles if you fill out a form and send it to Lansing, but I wouldn't hold my breath, if it's pre-computer, you are going to be painfully surprised that they won't find anything. There are a few that I would like to look up. 1970 Camaro, 1972 Camaro SS, 1970 Impala 2 door notchback w/402 BB, 1970 Chevelle SS clone, 400 Small block, bored to 409, strip dominator intake, 750 Holley double pumper. Ran like a scalded dog in one place, but it would eat up a brand new transmission in 3 miles. It had a marine grind cam, and spun backwards, turning the pump on the auto tranny backwards. They don't work so good that way.

I have a few that I would not mind having again. But, money is money and cars are cars. They can be replaced by something someone else has dumped cash in for less then you sold your old one for in some cases.
Good chance if you did find that cherry ride you have had years ago it has been rode hard with most of the cool stuff replaced. ie who drives a big block as a daily anymore good chance there would be a smaller engine in there now etc.
I had a 1991 Pontiac Lemans 2 door 5 speed that I absolutely loved the entire 4 months(That was a long time for me to keep a car back in 2000) that I had it. It had a throttle body spacer and I had a buddy flash the computer. I drove the thing over 10k in that 4 months driving down to Memphis and back. That was one of the few cars that I never got pulled over in despite there being a few moments I was expecting to.
Looking back at it the car was eh ok I guess it is still better then most new cars on fuel mileage. It is more about the memories you have not the car itself. Some of my best memories are in total POS that I ran for a few weeks then derby'd afterward or gave some body work or a zap, check, fix and sold for a small profit.

I sold a Maserati Biturbo about 13 years ago that tracked me down. The person I sold it too never bothered to change the title, insure it, and had a bogus plate on it. The police officer seemed happy that he was going to nail the drunk douchebag that was driving my old car. I would be too.

I have registered & insured that many under my name(and many under others). The point is to drive them, make a quick sell, make 1 good truck out of 3 bad ones, part them out, demo them, or to just be that guy driving the $300 pos at 40 mph towards the dirt ramp.
It is about having fun, wrenching, and being a backyard mechanic. If that somehow confuses you I'm sorry for your closed minded view.

A popular myth traces the name "Bonny Eagle" to an event that allegedly occurred near the intersection of Routes 22 and 35. In that story, two gentlemen were walking towards each other on the road that is currently Route 35. As they approached the intersection of that road and Saco Road, a bird flew overhead. One of the two gentlemen, who was of Scottish descent, looked into the sky and remarked to the other, "My, sir, isn't that a bonny eagle!" ("Bonny" being a Scottish word meaning "good" or "beautiful").
In reality, such an event never occurred. The name "Bonny Eagle" does refer to village consisting of a small settlement of homes and a gristmill at that same crossroads back in the late eighteenth century. A map dating from 1795 refers to the village as "Bonnamaneglin" and one eleven years later identifies a place called "Bonnemanheglon".1 Each word references English settlers' attempts to spell a native American word that means "swampy place". (Given the fact that the area surrounding the current Bonny Eagle place is a protected wetland, the descriptive term selected by the original native dwellers is certainly appropriate!) Over time the place name was Anglicized to its current form -- Bonny Eagle.
When MSAD #6 consolidated the high schools serving the four communities of Buxton, Hollis, Limington, and Standish in 1961, the name of the small village located on the Buxton/Standish town line was selected as the name of the district's new secondary school. Given both the folklore behind the name "Bonny Eagle" and the Scottish term inherent in the phrase, it was appropriate that the Scotsman be the school's mascot.

Companies will increasingly use cloud computing for essential business functions as their fears about security and other issues prove groundless, a consultant and former CIO predicts.
David McCann, CFO.com | US
June 4, 2010
Great article highlighting the need for everyone to have a much higher computer/data security awareness. I am wary about cloud computing, but not against it. Just recognize that whenever data or process go outside your four walls, you lose control of security: And you'd better be very, very sure someone is picking it up. Google to a (free) blog that has great security (and other) info, ?The Business-Technology Weave?. Also, check a book we use at work, "I.T. WARS" (you can Google to it, a good part of it is available online at Google Books; Amazon too). It has a great Security chapter, and others that treat security, content management, policy, etc. Highly recommended. Great stuff.

San Juan Co. deputies cleared in woman's shooting
FARMINGTON, N.M. (AP) — A San Juan County Sheriff's Office investigation has cleared two deputies who shot a woman coming at them with a handgun.
Sheriff's Capt. Tim Black tells the Farmington Daily Times (http://bit.ly/xVeReQ) [auth] that the deputies handled Tuesday night's confrontation professionally and within use-of-force guidelines.
Black says 55-year-old Donna Peace was threatening to kill herself and several children inside her mobile home when deputies were called.
Deputies Katie Macsalka (MAC-sal-kah) and Emerson Charley were at a back door when Black came outside and pointed a 9mm pistol at them. Macsalka fired her handgun three times and Charley shot his Taser.
Peace was in good condition Friday at a Farmington hospital recovering from a bullet wound to the abdomen. She faces two counts of aggravated assault on a peace officer.

German Shepherd Elbow Dysplasia & Problems | Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
A developmental degenerative disease, elbow dysplasia – like its cousin hip dysplasia – is particularly common in larger and more active breeds of dog, including the German Shepherd dog, in part because of the pressure a larger frame places on the leg joints. While both male and female German Shepherd dogs are susceptible to this illness, male dogs are more likely to develop this condition than their female counterparts. If an animal's afflicted with elbow dysplasia in at least one joint, the likelihood of the condition developing in an additional joint is high – between 25 and 30%. Elbow dysplasia is something of an umbrella term: problems with the elbow can be caused by a number of individual factors, including osteochondritis of the medial humeral condyle located in the elbow joint (a condition referred to as OCD, which arises when there is a fracture in the articular cartilage of the humerus bone leading in turn to a loosening of tissue within the joint susceptible to inflammation), pathologies involving the medial coronoid of the ulna bone (known as FCP) or a condition known as UAP – ununited anconeal process.. Both of these latter conditions cause excessive growth in the bones, damaging the balance of size and shape necessary to maintain a strong elbow joint. Elbow dysplasia can be brought on by any one – or more – of these existing conditions, and veterinaries are divided as to the relative importance of each in the overall development of elbow dysplasia. Some veterinarians believe that elbow trauma in puppyhood contributes to the development of elbow dysplasia; for this reason, exercise in young German Shepherd dogs should be monitored and trauma avoided if at all possible.
Though not life threatening, German Shepherd elbow dysplasia can be a constant source of pain for your dog if not treated correctly.

text: Design Local Rocks Music City Design Local Rocks Music City posted on 10/24/2013 by Robert Nieminen * required fields From* To* Message cancel There's more to Nashville than meets the eye, and when you look past the surface of all the honky-tonks, oversized belt buckles, cowboy boots and 5-gallon hats, you uncover a rich dichotomy of opposites that formed the perfect backdrop for this year's second stop in Mannington Commercial's Design Local tour. In the same way that the seemingly disparate genres of country and rap music share common ground in storytelling (and have produced some very unlikely collaborations), harmonies exist in Nashville between juxtaposed elements: old and new, glitzy and rustic, natural and man-made. Six designers from the local area— Kayla Beebe, Danielle Johanson, Lauren Comet, Malee Cherry, Rachel Emerson and Isaac Holman (pictured below, from left)—convened at Nashville's new Omni Hotel this past weekend in search of inspiration for an upcoming line of carpet from Mannington that will be introduced at next year's NeoCon World's Trade Fair in Chicago. Things got off to a relatively quiet start, with Team Nashville displaying some characteristic southern gentility as they casually determined a game plan for the typically hectic three-hour design scramble, during which the designers are set loose on their own stomping grounds with $200 cash and a digital camera to go hunting for inspiration. As if sitting on someone's front porch sipping sweet tea, Malee, Danielle and Lauren, who I shadowed for the afternoon, stood patiently waiting for the valet to return with our car and chatted nonchalantly at the hotel's entrance. In the process, inspiration struck in the form of a tattooed hipster standing nearby who all-too-happily obliged us by removing his shirt and allowing us to take photos of his colorful body art. Lesson learned: good things do come to those who wait. As we walked on foot toward an area known as Five Points, the pace began to pick up; colorful murals, vintage retail shops and rustic coffee joints provided ample photo opportunities for the designers. Colors and textures of rust, iron, brick, concrete and natural elements spoke to the aging qualities that exist in the city's surrounding historic neighborhoods. The last leg of our design scramble was centered downtown, where the touristy boot shops and bars along Lower Broadway are located, providing a glittery counterbalance to the rustic charm of the city. The designers picked up artifacts—including a vintage pair of boots and some posters from Nashville's iconic Hatch Show Print—that were the perfect complements to the many inspiring photos taken that afternoon. Once we reconvened back at the Omni, the team began the more difficult task of identifying common themes among all the photography and artifacts that would form the foundation for the new carpet line. Patterns began to emerge in the areas of texture, color and design elements such as stitching, embossing and the curvilinear shapes of musical instruments that are so characteristic of Nashville. By the end of the 24-hour crash course in product design, Team Nashville had orchestrated a cohesive design statement that brought harmony to the dichotomies in the city they call home—and we can't wait to see the finished product.

American political conventions haven't always been so predictable.

We consider the radical roots of the convention ritual itself, and explore the ways that ritual was mainstreamed. Over the course of the hour, the History Guys hear the voices of anti-corruption crusaders in the 1820s, women's rights activists at Seneca Falls, and civil rights workers in 1964, all of whom turned to conventions as venues for change.

ImpactWrestling.com has learned that in addition to several lacerations to his head and body, Anderson suffered a possible concussion and was being examined for damage to his neck from the piledriver. Anderson will be evaluated tonight by doctors at a local St. Louis hospital, and we hope to have an update on his condition on Friday.

- Patient and practitioner are partners in the healing process.
- All factors that influence health, wellness and disease are taken into consideration; including mind, spirit, and community as well as the body.
- Appropriate use of both conventional and alternative methods facilitates the body's innate healing response.
- Effective interventions that are natural and less invasive should be used whenever possible.
- Integrative medicine neither rejects conventional medicine nor accepts alternative therapies uncritically.
- Good medicine is based in good science. It is inquiry-driven and open to new paradigms.
- Alongside the concept of treatment, the broader concepts of health promotion and the prevention of illness are paramount.
- Practitioners of integrative medicine should exemplify its principles and commit themselves to self-exploration and self-development.

Amir Khan's fight with Floyd Mayweather Jnr could be delayed until May 2015 due his observance of Ramadan and Mayweather's unwillingness to switch his next scheduled fight from September.
Mayweather, who retained the WBC welterweight title and took Marcos Maidana's WBA 147lbs crown in Las Vegas on May 10 and maintain an unblemished 46-0 career, has further complicated Khan's aspirations of a mega-fight by agreeing a rematch with Maidana next.
Khan looked back to his best in his unanimous points win over Luis Collazo on his welterweight debut on May 4, and kept himself in line for a shot at Mayweather, but Mayweather next contest comes to soon after Khan will have been fasting during Ramadan.
Mayweather's camp have already declared they are reluctant to move the date to November, with Khan claiming that Mayweather was "making an excuse to avoid the match-up".
France: Paris Saint-Germain's Zlatan Ibrahimović was named France's players' player of the year for the second season running on May 11.
With a game of the season still to go, Swedish striker is the French league's top flight's leading scorer with 25 goals and has netted 40 goals in all competitions, beating the all-time club record of 39, set by the Argentine Carlos Bianchi in 1978. His performances helped PSG retain the Ligue 1 title and he has now won nine national league titles in 13 years.
WSA Women World Rankings (May 2014): 1-Nicol David (Malaysia): 2-Laura Massaro (England): 3-Raneem El Welily (Egypt): 4-Joelle King (New Zealand): 5-Camille Serme (France): 6-Alison Waters (England): 7-Nour El Sherbini (Egypt): 8-Low Wee Wern (Malaysia): 9-Madeline Perry (Ireland): 10-Dipika Pallikal (India).

Former interim coach Mohsin Khan hit out at the Pakistan Cricket Board on May 8 after he was overlooked for the national side's top job. Khan, 59, had applied for the position of head coach but the PCB on May 6 handed a 2 year contract to fast bowling legend Waqar Younis for a second stint in the role.
The 42-year-old Waqar played 87 Tests and 262 one-day internationals for Pakistan and held the job of national team coach from February 2010 to September 2011. But he was one of six players fined following a judicial inquiry into match-fixing launched in 1998 that led to lifetime bans for Salim Malik and Ataur Rehman two years later.
Khan, who as temporary coach guided Pakistan to a 3-0 rout of then world number one side England in 2012, accused the Pakistan cricket body of hiring "tainted" players.

But those previous periods of inflated expectations led to troughs of disappointment. Will this time be different? Most likely. Applications of AI such as predictive analytics are already decreasing costs and improving reliability of industrial machinery. Furthermore, the funding and research going into AI now comes from a wide range of com...

I'll add my 2 cents...
I think it's kind of like a girlfriend/boyfriend... what are you looking for? Something pretty, or something dependable that you can count on?
Sure, there are some out there that are both, but those that lean towards Glock are of the mindset that it's the most dependable and durable while not being the most attractive. Kind of like a woman marrying an accountant. ;-) (I'm an accounting software consultant, so I speak from experience. Special thanks to my lovely wife for settling for a human Glock. )
This is likely to be a fun thread to read the rest of the day.

Get Pets Ready in Case of Disaster
With hurricane season quickly approaching, there's a lot to think about.
One thing the people at Marion County Animal Services don't want you to overlook-- are your pets.
The department has established a checklist starting with making sure to count your pets in when calculating the amount of water and food you keep on hand in the aftermath of a storm.
The list includes having a pet first aid kit, proof of vaccines and vet records, and a photo of your pet in case it gets lost.
"Keep in mind that in a disaster situation, your unlicensed, un-vaccinated indoor animals, just might be exposed to a whole host of other animals and diseased they've never been exposed to before," Marion County Spokesperson, Elaine DeIorio told TV20.
They say it is also important to have you pet micro-chipped.
Rabies vaccines, licenses, and micro-chips are available at the Animal Services office in Marion County.

text: PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research ( http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has published updated outlooks for Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL), Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ), EMC (NYSE: EMC), VMware (NYSE: VMW), and Towerstream (Nasdaq: TWER). Next Inning editor Paul McWilliams has leveraged a decades-long career as a semiconductor industry insider to deliver in-depth insights and winning stock selections for his newsletter subscribers. McWilliams' Next Inning model portfolio has posted huge gains, returning 231% since its inception in 2002, over nine times the return for the S&P 500 during that period, and he has been picking more potential big winners for 2011. McWilliams has been right on target this year with his predictions on the direction of the market. From the spring sell-off to the June rebound to the slump in July and massive selloff that followed, McWilliams has kept Next Inning readers one step ahead of the market. An example of a recent call for Next Inning trial subscribers: After suggesting readers sell Micron last March at $11.50, McWilliams has maintained a negative view of the stock. In his special State of Tech report published September 25th when Micron was trading at $6.43, McWilliams wrote that it ranked high on the list of stocks that were too risky to hold through a quarterly earnings call, and added, "I think it's best at this juncture to stay on the side." Micron shares have moved lower by 22% since then. Trial subscribers will receive McWilliams' earnings previews and his highly acclaimed State of Tech reports that offer in-depth, sector-by-sector coverage of over 65 leading tech companies and specific guidance on which stocks he thinks investors should own and which should be avoided. These reports, as well as McWilliams' regular commentary and real-time trade alerts, are available for free to trial subscribers.

No more car, I have my bicycle, my scooter, car2go, uber / lyft and a rental place a few blocks from my apartment. I'm enjoying the freedom of not being bogged down by the car, more flexibility in where to park, how to get around the city, etc. All photos are within last 12 months unless specifically noted.
Trying to see how many days I can ride my bike this year, missed 2 days in January, a few days in February and perfect so far in March.
Winter primary sports - curling. Yeah, that sport you see at the winter Olympics, we play it here in Columbus. Fairly good sized club, our own building with ice just for us to play on.
Summer recreation - kickball. Everyone on my team is from the curling club, we have so much fun hanging out with each other all winter that we miss each other in the summer and started playing kickball. We rarely win (I think we got 1 win last year) but in the words of a friend of mine - 'Embrace the suck!'. We have fun and that's all that matters.
Things that pay my bills - computer programming, various languages
Things that keep me happy:
bicycle safety advocacy and group bike rides
legal aid (I'm also a paralegal - do volunteer work)
children's rights advocacy - taking a sanity break now but I have been a Court Appointed Special Advocate - Guardian ad Litem - (CASA -GAL). Helping children who have been the victim of domestic abuse.
I travel often, budget for an international trip every two or three years. 2017 should be my next international trip. Right now it looks like I'll be doing a Pacific Ocean trip, Japan, Indonesia, possibly Thailand &/or Cambodia, Guam, etc. Might have to wait until 2018, still working on logistics
I do frequent weekend trips for my hobbies. Sci-fi and gaming conventions usually.
I'm also pretty good at making up analogies, explaining complex ideas thoughts in ways that non-propellerheads can understand. I'm like a shark, I... Uhm... Have to keep moving or I die? Hrm, needs work
"I have never failed I have just found a thousand ways how to not succeed" - Someone smarter than me
Next book to read: Elvis Costello has a book out!
Yes, I know. Reading books about constitutional law for fun. I'm a bit odd that way
Music - Mostly 80s and early 90s. A few Favs include Social Distortion, Violent Femmes, Elvis Costello, and the Ditty Bops.
Movies I'm much more likely to watch a foreign / art film than a blockbuster. This doesn't mean I enjoy the occasional blockbuster but if I'm ever going to re-watch something it's far more likely to by Mary and Max, The Illusionist, Triplets of Bellevue or even Pi than watch the latest blockbuster. It is not possible to watch Lawrence of Arabia enough times however it MUST be at least a big screen or movie screen, such a movie cannot be contained by less than 40" screen.
I'm vegetarian however I eat fish, eggs and dairy occasionally. Sushi is never turned down, Japanese and Korean are fantastic. Middle eastern is second nature to me, MAZAH is one of my favorite restaurants in town.
Due to future travel plans I may need to switch back to being an omnivore, after 30 years vegetarian it should be quite an adventure.
A bike
I'm also thinking about my next trip. Maybe Africa?
Then again, I just may be out at the bar watching a band play.

I would juggle away my Chatillon like a nutmeg out of a thimble.
You're the only one that's brought their thimble, I'll be bound.
Her needle, thimble, and other sewing things are placed with her in the grave.
The eggs are smooth, coffee-coloured and shaped like a thimble.
For a moment there was only the little click of her thimble against the needle.
In blocks, confines the hook and thimble in the strop home to the scores.
In the second method, a thimble is used in place of the knife.

It will usually be necessary to renew this thimble after each reaction.
The man of the thimble looked at the gold, and then at him who produced it, and scratched his head.
Old English þymel "sheath or covering for the thumb," from thuma (see thumb) + -el, suffix used in forming names of instruments (cf. handle). Excrescent -b- began mid-15c. (cf. humble, nimble). Originally of leather, metal ones came into use 17c. Thimblerig, con game played with three thimbles and a pea or button, is attested from 1825 by this name, though references to thimble cheats, probably the same swindle, date back to 1716.

Eleanor Roosevelt: "The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience."
Holiday is over...came back today from snowy Trysil into rainy Oslo, felt as a culture shock. Anyway, it was great, definitely something to look back to!
Another great thing to look back to is the amazing trip to Tripoli, Libya...we left today exactly one year ago.
Sjeez, a lot has happened in the past year!
Finally, my first holiday since I moved to Norway last year June! Gonna do some serious skiing/snowboarding in Trysil, yay!
Keep an eye on my twitter box on the right in case I can't find WiFi to post on the weblog.
Money is flying out of my wallet these days; I bought cross-country skis today, the sauna was a great deal but certainly not free, the Tempur bed finally got delivered this week (well, sort of, the delivery company had a week off, so the store got us a replacement matras for now, until they're able to deliver again)...oh, and last but not least; we'll go skiing coming week!
Some might say I'm earning too much, others know I deserve it! ;)
Me? I just thank the Easter Bunny; LOOK, there he is!! Oh, now he's gone, you just missed it!
March 21, the day that normally marks the start of the Spring season...well, not in Norway! After weeks without, snow came falling down from last night, 15cm and counting, wow!
BBC News: "Writer Arthur C Clarke dies at 90...Sir Arthur's detailed descriptions of space shuttles, super-computers and rapid communications systems inspired millions of readers."
I am working in the satellite communications industry, so this news is very relevant...his idea for communication satellites eventually became a multi-billion dollar industry. Today, many peoples life depend on the ability to communicate from the harsh environments they are in, environments where satellite is the only option.
To me, satellite communication is one of the ways used to bring people in the world closer together, ultimately becoming one again.
Barbara Hall: "You're alive. Do something. The directive in life, the moral imperative was so uncomplicated. It could be expressed in single words, not complete sentences. It sounded like this: Look. Listen. Choose. Act."
I just succesfully updated my iPhone software to the latest and greatest, v1.1.4! Overall the process was really, really EASY! I connected the iPhone to my pc running iTunes, upgraded via iTunes to v1.1.4 and then ran ZiPhone v2.6b and checked the 'Do it all!' option. It took me 19 minutes...15 for updating the software via iTunes and 4 for the ZiPhone Unlock, Jailbreak and Activate.
Let's see if the problem with remembering passwords in Safari is solved...
Just got back home and Pluis was waiting at the doorstep for food...all seems to be OK!
Will enjoy a nice a relaxing evening as couch potato, I LOVE those evenings!!
Our 'walkabout-cat' Pluis managed to get a bladder infection that got spread into his kidney; the high fever and non eating/drinking behaviour got suspicious and a quick trip to the vet set the diagnose.
Some anti-biotic should resolve it...however, we're not home at the moment?!? Hope everything is safe and sound by the time I come back tomorrow and so I can play nurse for him. ;)

Damn, this was a hectic week! It still feels far from completed, there is just too much that needs to be done. Will do my best to unwind and take some distance...charge the battery and kick ass on Monday!
Or at least, I hope...the mouse arm seems to get slightly better and for me that's exactly when I need to pay attention! It's just too easy to return to old habbits, too early...
Benjamin Franklin: "If you know how to spend less than you get, you have the philosopher's stone."
Am seeing a huge increase in spam-tagged emails over the last two weeks. Don't know if there is any specific reason for this (I thought that spam was dying these days?), but my spam-folder used to have roughly 300 emails (in 30 days), but currently holds 1800+ spam-mails?!?
My Gmail (or actually Google Apps) is doing a great filtering job since I hardly receive any spam in my Inbox, they go directly where they belong...in the spam-folder!
The Holmenkollen Ski Jump is a place we often go to with visitors; besides a spectacular view over Oslo and the Oslo fjord, it is quite special to see a real Ski Jump from so close by.
Willem-Jan and Patricia (my brother and his girlfriend) were the true lucky ones; this weekend was to be even more special since the Ski Jumping competition took place at Holmenkollen! Truly amazing to actually see people jumping from the Ski Jump, eh?
Well, we were unlucky; went there yesterday afternoon to find out that the jumping planned for later in the afternoon was rescheduled due to weather conditions...no more jumping on Saturday! :(
We still had a nice time, sightseeing and watching the finish of the Nordic Combined cross-country...as for jumping; better luck next year!
John F. Kennedy: "The ancient Greek definition of happiness was the full use of your powers along lines of excellence."
An important part of integrating into Scandinavia is ofcourse getting into the sauna culture...and the easiest way then is to have a sauna in house,so...a sauna it is! We picked it up tonight and found a suitable place in one of the uhhh, five spare rooms! ;)
It's gonna be a HOT weekend!!

Customer Reviews
Control issues.
An intriguing game that looks great. It is kinda like a Zen Bound meets Rubik's cube, with a Toy Story theme...
The problem for me is the lack of precision in controlling the toys. It's difficult to turn the entire toy vs turning a particular piece. I read a few other reviews and didn't see anyone else with that issue.
It becomes very frustrating. I don't think I can be the only person with this issue. But I am definitely going to give it another chance.
Also there are no instructions, which is ok as it is an intuitive experience, but I wonder if I am doing something wrong.
Is the game worth the hassle? I'm not sure yet.
Spectacularly Challenging
It will make you growl in frustration ... Until you solve the puzzle. Simple yet surpringly challenging. It's like Rubik's Cube meets old worl wooden toys.
You must solve each puzzle within a certain amount of moves, you reset if you can't solve within the alloted number of moves.
Best puzzle game I've played in a while. The game becomes brutally challenging as you progress. Great graphics. The background music seems soothing or taunting depending on your mood or level of frustration.
Intriguing puzzler
I found this 3d puzzler both fascinating and intriguing from the first puzzle I played! It is most definitely one of a kind! It's easy to pickup but as you go, becomes so brain bustingly difficult.... but it's a good type of pain! I found it a great way to clear some of the cobwebs that've collected in my noggin from years of cartoon watching! Hehe!!
If you want a game to hone your spacial relation skills.... This will do it!

All the government innovations and decrees in the world are not going to create a generation of high-achieving U.S. youth unless parents are willing to reform the way they bring up their children.
A basic truth about education is that quality education has always belonged to the children of the wealthy. Education in a democracy gives the illusion that the children of every social and economic class have the opportunity to enjoy the kind of education that in past eras have been available only to the children of the privileged classes.
True, the opportunities for education in the United States at this period of its history are there for all children, boys and girls, rich and poor, but...
The but in this scenario is U.S. popular culture itself.
To be sure, many parents are willing to make great sacrifices in order to buffer their children from negative cultural influences. We often read about high-salaried men and women who quit their jobs in order to spend more time with their children, usually in out-of-the way places devoid of television and advertising.
Not many parents can do anything that extreme, but all can give careful thought to U.S. cultural beliefs and their effects on the intellectual and emotional development of children.
Here are some commonly held assumptions about children that American parents may wish to question:
A childs education begins with Kindergarten or First Grade.
FACT: A childs education begins at birth. Parents are the first teachers.
Buying children lots of toys, fashionable clothing, and electronic gadgets is a way to show love.
FACT: an electronic device that reads to a child is no substitute for the intellectual and emotional experience of being held on someones lap and being read to. Children showered with material goods become grasping, dissatisfied adults.
Unlimited, unsupervised television viewing cant hurt them.
FACT: Most television programming and advertising are geared to the promotion of greed, fear, and contempt for learning. Television viewing should be a very small part of a child's day. Parents should watch with children and comment on questionable information or values presented in the programming.
High school students should have their own cars if at all possible.
FACT: Car ownership is for adults. Car ownership for teens is dangerous, distracting and stressful. Teens who have limited use of the family car have fewer accidents.
Students with unexceptional grades should be encouraged to go to college.
FACT: Children who dont get as much as they can out of elementary and high school are not likely to profit from college.

Hi Sankar,
you can use ListIntegrate[] to get your AUC. As well you could use an
InterpolatingFunction[] object and then use NIntegrate[].
Note that the result depends on the way of interpolation. Using first ord=
interpolation (straight lines between adjacent points) you would have to
calculate the sum of the areas of n-1 trapezoids (what is trivial).
If you should like to connect your points using a function like a
stair-case, your problem reduces to calculating the mean of your yi and
multiply it with your x-range (if equally spaced).
You could also fit a suitable model to your data first and then use
Integrate[] on your model.
"The Mathematica Journal" Volume 7, Issue 1 (Winter 1997) pp. 29 gives an=
example of this and shows how to estimate the error of the calculated AUC=
(given in the "In[] and Out[]" section - you might already get it on

I am new to Mathematica and would really appreciate some pointers from
experienced users. I have a 2 variable data set of about 50
observations. I want to plot each obseravtion and calculate the area
under the curve. How do I do this in Mathematica ?
Are there examples in the Mathematica Book and/or are there separate
application notes etc. available ?
