2018 Chevrolet Equinox Diesel AWD Review
Sunday, December 17, 2017 Add Comment Edit
2018 Chevrolet Equinox Diesel AWD Review Just after years of living below a dark cloud inside the Usa, 2015 was shaping as much as be the year very affordable diesel-powered passenger vehicles would create a severe mark. Volkswagen, long a torchbearer for the technological innovation in America, was reporting solid product sales, Mazda was doing work to certify its Euro-market diesel, General Motors was readying its second-gen 2017 Chevrolet Cruze diesel, and numerous other manufacturers had been, for that initially time in decades, learning the viability of diesels for stateside duty. Then, as if on cue, the VW diesel scandal broke and it was back to square one.
2018 Chevrolet Equinox Diesel AWD Review
But when VW was busy cleansing up its mess and Mazda continues to fiddle with its entry, the Chevrolet Cruze diesel hit the streets operating clean. (EPA-compliant diesel autos also are available from BMW, Jaguar, and Land Rover, nevertheless they expense 1000's extra and entice a distinctive demographic.) GM's turbo-diesel one.6-liter inline-four engine is now out there within the substantially improved, new-for-2018 Equinox compact crossover, too, so we snagged one particular to view if it's a real fuel sipper with usable bottom-end grunt or simply a clattery addition to your 1.5- and two.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engines by now while in the lineup.
Let's get this from the way in which up front: In case you are standing next to the diesel Equinox when it fires up from a cold slumber, there is no mistaking that a compression-ignition engine is beneath the hood. The cabin is considerably louder at idle-we measured 43 decibels inside the diesel versus 39 in an Equinox one.5T-but that more hum isn't obnoxious or off-putting. And as the engine warms to operating temperature, even its outdoors bark grows subdued, as well as masses will probably be none the wiser to the absence of spark plugs beneath the hood.
While a 137-hp turbo-diesel engine may not right away conjure the promise of functionality, it does supply adequate determination for just about any sort of condition you're probable to encounter while behind the wheel of a compact SUV. That includes chirping the tires, albeit in its personal particular way: Placing your foot towards the floor leads to a lackadaisical step-off followed by a swell of torque that comes on and breaks the tires free of charge while rolling at about 5 mph.
2018 Chevrolet Equinox Diesel AWD Review - Interior:
All 240 lb-ft of torque are on board at a minimal 2000 rpm, and peak horsepower arrives at 3750 rpm; mixed, they make the zone in between 1800 and 4400 rpm fertile ground for harvesting acceleration. The six-speed automatic transmission is astutely tuned to the one.6's exclusive properties and tends to make no qualms about downshifting at the slightest provocation with the throttle to produce probably the most of it. Whereas the Cruze diesel gets a nine-speed automated, GM claims that transmission presented no fuel-economy rewards during the Equinox so it gets the carryover six-speed gearbox. In addition, the diesel utilizes a taller two.89:one final-drive ratio whereas the nine-speed cars use both a 3.17, 3.50, or three.87 last drive, dependent on engine, transmission, and driveline mixture.
Given the Chevy's entertaining functionality when booted all around town, we were surprised by the significantly less than remarkable really hard numbers: 9.4 seconds from zero to 60 mph and also a quarter-mile time of 17.2 seconds which has a trap pace of 80 mph. In real-world scenarios this kind of as coming into an interstate, that usually means trying to keep your foot on the floor for a minimum of 10 seconds-or longer in states this kind of as Michigan where posted pace limits fluctuate from 70 to 75 mph along with the movement of traffic frequently exceeds them by a worth of 10 to twenty % or extra. Once the dimension of your approaching automobiles as part of your rearview mirror begins to stabilize, however, maintaining the speed is simple. Set the cruise at 70, 80, and even 90 mph in case you want, as well as the Equinox is actually a prepared accessory in the challenge to check the skills of the area constabulary. Interior noise at a regular 70 mph is actually a hushed 68 decibels, two quieter compared to the 1.5T and never also shabby for a motor vehicle by using a compression-ignition engine.
Whilst we doubt acceleration test numbers play in to the decision-making method of most potential Equinox diesel buyers, it truly is well worth noting the Equinox using the turbocharged 2.0-liter and all-wheel drive knocked off the zero-to-60-mph measure in six.six seconds and finished the quarter in 15.1 seconds at 94 mph; that is two.eight and two.1 seconds faster, a huge gulf of the effectiveness difference. Around the other hand, the turbocharged 1.5-liter with AWD barely ekes out a win over the diesel, posting times of 8.9 and sixteen.9 seconds at 83 mph, which fall within half a second from the diesel. Meanwhile, the Honda CR-V, one of our prime picks in the segment, posted seven.6- and 16.0-second times. The difference using the diesel is you will be applying every one of the accelerator travel most of the time, whereas the gasoline engine is usually operated by using a bit more finesse. The Equinox's diesel four-cylinder takes these regular full-throttle assaults so eagerly and stoically is its conserving grace.
2018 Chevrolet Equinox Diesel AWD Review - Features:
Braking numbers are similarly underwhelming. By using a 182-foot stop from 70 mph, the diesel Equinox requires a full 15 feet longer compared to the 2.0-liter Equinox's 167 feet and 21 feet over the quite remarkable 161-foot braking distance posted from the one.5-liter Equinox. Repeated stops uncovered a firm, fade-free pedal at the least, plus the newly refined suspension keeps the 3769-pound motor vehicle from nosediving or heading to the ditch.
It's that exact same suspension tuning that permits the diesel Equinox to negotiate broken pavement without having sending shock waves through the cabin yet still remain reasonably degree throughout mildly aggressive directional improvements in addition to on long, sweeping freeway ramps. The compromise is helpful and, mixed with direct steering response, leads to a automobile a lot more entertaining to drive than its middling 0.77 g of lateral grip would indicate. Certainly, the 0.85- and 0.86-g lateral-acceleration marks posted through the Equinox's two.0- and 1.5-liter gasoline brethren propose the untapped likely of your chassis.
In instances like this, wherever comparable cars publish disparate braking and grip numbers, tire selection normally would be the culprit. Our diesel Equinox wore 225/65R-17 Bridgestone Dueler H/L 422 all-seasons, even though the 1.5-liter and two.0-liter models were shod with 235/50R-19 Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 all-season rubber. Upgrading to 19-inch wheels and tires over the diesel will price you $1995, whilst we'd believe twice before performing so as we absolutely preferred the diesel's significantly extra forgiving trip excellent on the 17s.
As may be the situation for many non-pickup-truck buyers, the decision of whether to go diesel in the long run comes down to bucks and cents. Chevy does a nice career of minimizing the guesswork by limiting the diesel model to your best two trims. Wearing a base cost of $33,385, our 3LT AWD model integrated remote start off, cloth seating, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, dual-zone automated climate control, and aluminum wheels. The sole choice was the actually named Sun & Infotainment package, which adds a sunroof, a power liftgate, an 8.0-inch touchscreen to replace the base 7.0-inch unit, a driver info display, a 120-volt AC power outlet, and two supplemental USB charging ports. Far from opulent, this $2245 package bundles the features most consumers require. All in, our Equinox diesel carried a $35,630 as-tested cost. (Front-wheel-drive diesels commence at $31,635; going diesel is a $3890 upcharge above a one.5T and $1345 more than a 2.0T.)
But for major dieselheads, purchase value is only the 2nd or third most important number. It's fuel efficiency that impresses this thrifty bunch, the allure of extracting every possible mile from each gallon of dino juice far outweighing the ante. In that metric it delivers in spades. EPA rated at an by now extraordinary 38 mpg over the highway, our Equinox returned a solid 43 mpg in our 75-mph highway cruise check. That is a total 15 mpg better than the 1.5-liter Equinox AWD posted during the exact same check. Combined with its 15.6-gallon fuel capacity, the only thing standing in between you and 670 miles of highway travel is often a catheter. (Curiously, front-wheel-drive versions get a slightly smaller 14.9-gallon fuel tank.
In addition, our observed 34-mpg mixed figure not only beats the EPA's estimate by 2 mpg but also puts a 13-mpg smackdown within the one.5-liter Equinox's observed 21 mpg. The two.0-liter Equinox fared no better, managing just 22 mpg in our hands.
At this point, convention dictates that we point out that the expense of diesel fuel traditionally is ten to twenty % above that of bottom-shelf regular. But that argument is somewhat negated in this instance through the Equinox diesel's considerably superior fuel economy and also the fact that the two.0-liter model requires pricey premium fuel. Still, there are a lot of variables involved, and only you can determine if diesel Equinox ownership will in the end pencil inside your favor.
Then again, if you are within the market for an appealing compact crossover as well as the thought of working with the least amount of fuel as possible for every mile traveled gives you a thrill, the Equinox diesel is currently your best bet. In fact, the only thing that could screw up the Equinox's lock on this subsegment may be the arrival in the long-promised Mazda CX-5 diesel.

The Loft Gallery at the Smithy Store will host an opening reception for Connecticut artists, Ecka Blaire Faulds and Peter Wnek, on Saturday, November 19 from 4-6pm. The reception is free and open to the public. This exhibit of paintings by Ms. Faulds, and photography by Mr. Wnek will be on view through Sunday, December 31.
Peter's style of photography span from the altered and image composite photos of the digital realms for his commercial assignments to a more ethereal, romantic feel of his small format camera captures, while also striving for the purists perspective when creating an image with a large format view camera.
Ecka Blaire Faulds received her BFA in Painting from the Hartford Art School, University of Hartford and her work has been selected for a number of awards and exhibitions including the Washington Art Association's "Young Talent Exhibition" in 2012, designed to showcase promising artists under the age of 30; and for award by curators of the Guggenheim Museum, New York.
She participated in the first residency of Artspace: Torrington, in Connecticut (now known as Five Points Gallery), which served to foster an open dialogue between the general public and working artists – encouraging exploration, opinion, and interest. She currently resides in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, and works for the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

"The beauty she shared, was, quite simply, herself. And in sharing herself, she showed me a glimpse of the glory of God." -Emily Freeman
We have so much to learn from little girls.
I visited my sister recently at the beach day camp she works at. There are plenty of lively little ones bouncing around, dancing to music, eating snacks. I play counselor for a day alongside my sister and it is always a beautiful and freeing day.
On this particular day a little girl bounced up to me and sweetly said, "Hi! I'm Phoebe! Do you want to be my friend?" She looked at me with her wondering blue eyes, freckles dazzled across her cheeks. She did not wait a moment to hear a response, but enthusiastically grabbed my hand and said, "Come with me!"
And just like that, in an instant, I was welcomed. I was greeted in her world with joy and a big smile. In just a few seconds she had shown me an invitation that reflected that she accepted me.
Upon reflecting on this later, I thought...how often do I as a woman express this sentiment to others? How often does a new woman come into a space where I myself belong and I greet her with love and joy and an invitation...rather than a cold shoulder or unwelcoming glance? Phoebe shared a part of herself with me in that brief moment - the part that as a little girl overflows with the desire for friends and the yearning to love others. Perhaps it is not her goal to make people feel accepted, but in her pure innocence, she does. As a 5-year-old, she does not have stacks of memories where her invitation to friendship was rejected or where she was made to feel unwelcome by other girls. Her unscathed heart encourages her to extend her hand. And so often we let our wounded hearts discourage us from reaching out. Can I let my scarred self reach out, the self that has been cast off by other women in different moments of my life?
On another occasion I arrived to camp to see some new campers. A 12-year-old girl ran over to me on this day. "Your sister told us you were coming! Take off your glasses, I want to see your eyes!" she said. I was looking a bit disheveled, without makeup and hair tossed on my head for a day at the beach. As I hesitantly took them off for fear of what honest comment this child would drum up about the way I looked, she immediately exclaimed, "You are so pretty!"
And I breathed in relief and I breathed out gratitude. In that moment again, I felt received and affirmed, even though she was only a small child. It completely lifted my spirit. And I sat and thought again...how often do we treat other women like this? How often do I sincerely compliment or uplift another woman the moment I meet her, rather than have a negative thought or worry that she is so much better, smarter, skinnier, or prettier than I?
There are thousands of women who were sitting under this roof
holding out their hearts like empty cups. -Ann Voskamp
The women of this world, both old and young, are indeed holding out their hearts out to be filled. Women step into situations looking for someone to fill up their glass and the beauty is this...you and I can be the ones who decide to fill up the soul of every woman we meet. We come in contact with these women every day. There are girls who show up to youth group wondering if they will ever be able to make any friends. Other girls may sit at a lunch table in the cafeteria alone, hoping and praying that someone would just come up and speak into their fragile heart..."Do you want to be my friend?" Perhaps a young woman moves to a new city without friends and attends a young adult gathering hoping that some girl who is known there will come up with an invitation - a welcoming hand into a new place.
And it is my job, and your job, to pour into other women with our acceptance, our love, and our kindness. Fill other women with affirmation and with joy. Be the woman who steps out of her own world, out of herself, to make other women feel encouraged, loved, and wanted in this world. It is our great and glorious responsibility to carry one another through this life by our goodness and by our love.
"And sisters have names. And sisters have stories and smiles and art and dreams and hopes and sisters carry each other." - Ann Voskamp

More exciting news for Basically Sprinkles!
Things have been pretty quiet around here lately…there is good reasoning for it too!
We are due with #2! January will be here before we know it!
The first trimester was pretty rough with the food aversions, not keeping food down, and all the other million reasons that make the first few months not enjoyable! I envy the women that have no symptoms the first few months! With that said, that is behind me now and my energy is coming back! Natalie and I have lots of stuff to post and we can't wait to get back too it!

Welcome to Best of 7, where we talk about "The best in comics from the last seven days" — which could be anything from an exciting piece of news to something great fans are doing to an awesome comic that came out. So let's get to it ...
Hey kids, comics!
This week sees a bumper crop of great children's comics, starting with the debut issue of Natasha Allegri's Bee and PuppyCat from BOOM! Studios. Allegri is a storyboard revisionist for the Adventure Time cartoon and was the one who created Fionna and Cake, the gender-swapped versions of the main characters. Bee and PuppyCat, which started as an animated short, then was Kickstarted into a full season, is sort of a magical-girl tale about a young woman and her mysterious animal friend, PuppyCat, who helps her find work. Allegri's lovely art and the whimsical premise give this comic a lot of kid appeal.
Also from BOOM! Studios this week is the collected edition of Mike Kunkel's marvelous Herobear and the Kid: The Inheritance; Adventure Time: Candy Capers, a graphic novel by Ananth Panagariya, Yuka Ota, and Ian McGinty; the third volume of Royden Lepp's Rust; and the second issue of Grace Ellis, Noelle Stevenson and Brooke Allen's Lumberjanes, which has already become something of a cult classic.
But wait -- there's more! Oni Press has the fifth volume of Ted Naifeh's Courtney Crumrin adventures as well as the second volume of Power Lunch, a superhero story by J. Torres and Dean Trippe about a boy who gets his superpowers from the foods he eats.
For those who like a good toy tie-in (and what kid doesn't?), Papercutz debuts their newest Lego series, Legends of Chima. Action Lab checks in with a volume of Princeless short stories, cantilevering off their surprise hit about a princess who doesn't take any crap. IDW has the first trade of their Ben 10 comic, DC has a new Scooby-Doo title and Archie has a 1,000-page bonanza collection. All in all, a great week for kids' comics. (Brigid Alverson)
Colleen Doran shares her knowledge of comic art negatives
If Colleen Doran never wrote about the creative process, I would still immensely respect her for her vast body of engaging work over the years. But the fact is this busy creator is selfless enough to share insight into the creative process on a weekly basis, with a level of detail that astounds me.
This week provided two notable examples, when she wrote two posts on Wednesday and Friday regarding the restoration work that has been done by her and associates on A Distant Soil via the comic art negatives. The education she has gained throughout the process is astounding to learn, particularly due to her absolute candor. Consider the snippets of quotes from her in just one of the pieces (I intentionally only cherry pick partial quotes because it would behoove folks to read the whole thing):
"I paid thousands of dollars to a professional photographer to archive my paintings. Yet now that I have the technical skill to properly examine and digitize those negatives, I realize I wasted my money. Most of them are so fuzzy, so off-color, they are unusable...
"It was technically impossible for me to do this work over a decade ago because computers simply could not scan at the high resolutions we use now...
"An artist who is unable to archive their own work is at the mercy of whomever they hire. Until I hired Allan, I spent well over a decade pouring my money down a hole and getting very poor results. Almost all of my archives prior to 2010 are useless. Entire stories, such as the short 'Super Idol,' which I did with Warren Ellis, are lost."
What engaged me most about the posts is how effectively Doran shares her knowledge, as well as how much she seeks insight from fellow creators, such as Jose Villarubia.
I would be remiss to not point out the posts should make you want to go out and buy Volume I and II of A Distant Soil, which are now available. If you are in the United States and order direct from Doran, you can get get them signed with a signed mini-print with free shipping. (Tim O'Shea)
Viz gets the Sailor Moon license--and does it right
The rights to the Sailor Moon anime (broadcast and home video) lapsed in 2004-5, leaving a generation of Sailor Scouts without a legal way to watch the show, but Viz announced at Anime Central that they have acquired the license and will start running subtitled episodes on Hulu on Monday. Yes, tomorrow.
Fans on Twitter were delighted with the details of the deal: Viz has licensed the entire run of the anime, 200 episodes, some of which have never been shown in North America before. The original material was sliced and diced for American audiences, but Viz is having none of that: They are showing the anime uncut, and they have restored the original relationship between Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune, who were presented as cousins in the import but are actually a couple. Viz also has three movies and the license for Sailor Moon Crystal, the new Sailor Moon anime that will debut July 5.
Why does Sailor Moon matter? For the first time in decades, girls had a superheroine they could relate to. Usagi/Bunny/Serena was a schoolgirl who would rather play video games than go to cram school, who was constantly running afoul of the adults one way or another, but who transformed into a fabulous superhero with a whole other life. Who doesn't want to do that when they are 12? Sailor Moon jump-started the shoujo anime/manga boom that brought girls into the comics medium en masse, and that generation is now changing the face of comics both as readers and as creators.
That said, Sailor Moon is over 20 years old. Will it resonate with today's viewers, who have plenty of other options? The manga certainly has: Kodansha Comics' new translation of the series has done very well, challenging Naruto month after month for the top of the manga/graphic novel charts. (The manga series just ended.) Those can't all have been nostalgia purchases. Viz seems to be covering all the bases, with free streaming anime on Hulu and their own NeonAlley anime channel, mass-market DVDs and DVD/Blu-Ray sets for those who just want to see the show, and a special limited edition for collectors and longtime fans.

The Flash races to your TV in a new promo
Thirteen years ago, Smallville made its debut on the WB (which eventually became The CW after it merged with UPN). This marked the beginning of an unlikely run of superhero TV... and of Vancouver and Victoria masquerading as several key comic book cities. (Just... how many comic book universes does Hatley Castle inhabit?) Smallville, and it's unlikely 10 year run on the air, made the way for Arrow when Justin Hartley first donned the mantle and popularized a somewhat obscure character. His role was eventually handed off to Stephen Amell in a different TV continuity. And now it's time for Arrow to hand off to the next superhero show in the lineage.
I actually had high hopes for The Flash after Grant Gustin's guest star appearance as Barry Allen in Arrow. His sunny earnestness contrasted brightly against Starling City's nightmarish urban landscape. But what really sold me was the way they handled the origin story. The Flash's origins are just so goofy --- Barry Allen gets struck lightning and is bathed by all of the chemicals, which he has in vials around the house? --- that it just screamed like something that should be up for a gritty remake. Instead, his origins were played by the book. Lightning. Chemicals. Me leaping out of the couch and whooping like a madman. (Officer, this is the one and only time I will be cheering about someone getting struck by lightning.)
This week, The CW released a couple of trailers. The first shows the Arrow striding into a forest with his arrow nocked and aimed at one of those shooting range targets. It's very Robin Hood, and not something you see often on the show. (Really cool visual, too.) Then Flash busts in and the two have some fun banter. Oh, man, two superheroes hanging around like they're old pals? This has me more excited than the Justice League movie! (Plus, the contrast between red and green just reminds you of several other great DC Comics friendships.)
Then there's a second trailer. It goes more in depth into what we're going to see: a guy in a yellow Flash suit that's responsible for the death of his parents, Barry Allen getting some help (and his signature red superhero costume) from STAR Labs, and ... The WEATHER WIZARD?!?!?! Aw, sweet, we're going to see the Flash Rogues right from the beginning! Let me remind you, Smallville fans had to wait 10 years before Clark Kent donned the Superman costume. And the Arrow needs to fight villains from Batman's Rogue's Gallery because his own aren't that commonly known. The Flash, though... he's getting straight into the superhero action from the get-go.
That's what's got me excited. From the trailers, it looks like The Flash is going to be an unapologetic superhero show. A guy in a genuine superhero suit with crazy powers going against a cast of colorful villains. I cannot wait. (Larry Cruz)

Starting Sept.1st, 2015, we officially switched over to our new grading system for all belt exams. Students who are invited to test at the belt exam must take part in the pass / fail test hosted outside of their regular class time. In order to pass this test I suggest following these tips:
1. Show up to every class - There is nothing more important than showing up to class with a positive attitude and ready to learn. Even if you feel like you are struggling and can not quite grasp the material you should keep showing up! In sports like basketball, soccer, and baseball there are often cuts on the team where players did not make the team. In karate, everyone makes the team and gets a chance to play as long as you show up. If you keep showing up week after week, month after month, and year after year you will eventually become a black belt!
2. Ask your instructor for advice on how to improve - Use your time wisely. Your instructor has a lot of experience which is why they are teaching your class. Take the time to follow exactly what they tell you to do with your practice time. They can show you how to maximize your practice time and be more efficient than you would be on your own.
3. Practice the right thing - Very often you will hear people say that "practice makes perfect". This is not correct! In reality, "correct practice makes perfect". Make sure you are not only practicing at home but also showing your instructor what you are practicing and asking for their feedback. Repeating the wrong thing over and over again will only lead to more frustration. Show up early to class or stay late. Do whatever it takes to get extra help from your black belt instructor. Also, taking a private lesson or two will really accelerate your learning curve.
4. Have a long term mindset - remember that a big secret to long term success in karate is understanding that you will not take every belt exam! It is ok if you miss a belt exam even if you feel you were ready to test. Learn to trust your instructor. The goal is to get as much experience as possible before you get to black belt.
5. Go the extra mile - Doing the minimums can lead to frustration. Do your best to show up early, stay late, and ask questions to the black belts. A good rule of thumb is to figure out what everyone else at your level is doing and do the exact opposite! Become a contrarian. For example, if the students at your level are going to class 1x per week then you should start going 2x per week. If others are leaving right when class ends then you should stay after and talk with the black belts and ask them questions on how to improve. And if others are skipping the tournaments then you should definitely go to the tournaments. Becoming successful in the martial arts takes a lot of patience, discipline, and focused effort but it is well worth it.

According to United States census data, 76 percent of homes that are single, detached units have a garage. Millions of people have garages to park their cars in to protect them from the weather. It is generally taken for granted that the garage door will work effectively. When it does not, garage door repair phoenix is able to fix the problem.
The idea of having an upward lifting garage door can be traced back to a catalog in 1906. Typical Phoenix garage doors are comprised of multiple panels that are hinged together and roll along a guided system of tracks. Extension springs for each track or a torsion spring system is used to balance the weight of the door. Such materials sometimes require garage door repair Phoenix.
In weather that includes severe wind and rain, properly enforced garage doors phoenix can protect whatever is behind them. They are built and repaired by garage door repair Phoenix to hold up in even the worst weather.
In the early stages of remote controls to open garage doors, the mechanisms were very simple. There was just a remote to transmit the signal to open the door and a receiver that received the signal and controlled the opening of the door. A broken garage door opener Phoenix can create difficulty and should be fixed promptly. Garage door repair Phoenix is on hand to fix any and all aspects of garage doors that need maintenance.

Similar to hamburgers, tuna burgers are a type of sandwich that uses canned or chopped tuna instead of ground beef for the meat patty. Quick and simple to make, tuna burgers often offer a cost effective and healthy alternative to traditional hamburgers. Usually prepared with vegetables and spices, these burgers are often topped with lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and some type of condiment.
Canned, drained tuna is most often used to make tuna burgers. Tuna steaks can be used as well but must be chopped prior to being included in the burger mixture. Plain or seasoned bread crumbs or ground oatmeal aid in the burger's consistency and eggs help hold the patties together once cooked. Chopped onions, bell peppers or pimentos, and celery are often included in the patties as well.
Seasonings vary greatly across recipes. The meat patties are usually seasoned with pepper and garlic, but may also be seasoned with celery salt. Old Bay seasoning is sometimes included, and lemon juice may be added as well. Some versions will add horseradish or soy sauce and Dijon mustard. Grated ginger, Worcestershire sauce, or dill weed are occasionally included.
The ingredients are thoroughly combined and then, usually, chilled. Chilling firms the mixture and allows the cook to shape the tuna into patties more easily. Once the patties are created, they can be placed in a non-stick frying pan to cook. Normally, the pan is either sprayed with cooking spray or coated in oil before the meat is added. Tuna patties should always be handled with care because they are often fragile and fall apart easily before they are cooked.
The burgers are flipped once during cooking and should end up browned on both sides. Some versions may also bake the patties briefly to ensure doneness. Once the patties are cooked, they should hold together firmly yet will be softer than traditional hamburger patties. Cooked patties can be placed on white or whole wheat hamburger buns, rolls, bread, or English muffins.
Sliced tomato and lettuce are often added to tuna burgers. Baby spinach leaves may be used instead of lettuce, and cucumber slices and bean sprouts are another option for burger toppings. Sweet pickles can also serve as a topping. Although ketchup can be used as a condiment, flavored mayonnaise is a popular condiment alternative. A simple honey mustard sauce, made by mixing honey and Dijon mustard, is also an option.

As much as I enjoy tuna fish, one thing I've always been cautious about is the mercury content. If you eat too much tuna fish on a daily basis, is it possible to get mercury poisoning? While I'm assuming the answer is yes, tuna fish should be something you eat in moderation. If you consume it, it's not going to kill you, but regardless, you should always be on the safe side.
Post 2
Tuna fish can be used in a variety of ways. One tradition I have is making a tuna patty melt. The instructions are pretty simple. You put tuna fish on two separate pieces of toasted bread. Afterwards, cover the pieces of bread with cheese, and put it in the oven for about ten to twenty minutes. It's a great treat, and really shows how tuna fish can be used. You're enjoying yourself, without having to worry about any fats or cholesterol.
Post 1
When I as a kid, I remember my mom making tuna patties, and I really enjoyed them. Not only do they have a nice fishy taste, but as was mentioned in the first paragraph, they are a better alternative to beef or pork burgers. One thing I've noticed though is that tuna burgers aren't normally sold at restaurants and fast food joints. Maybe that's because they're not as popular as the traditional beef and pork, which though fattier, have a better taste. Regardless, tuna burgers are something everyone can enjoy, especially if you're trying to get your kids to eat dinner.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Vivo's mobile testing lab to check fuel quality
Kampala. Vivo Energy, the company that distributes and markets Shell fuels and lubricants, has launched Uganda's first mobile fuel testing laboratory. The development comes on the back of numerous complaints about unscrupulous retailers who are accused of adulterating fuel.
The lab will make it possible to check fuel quality at any Shell fueling station forecourt in addition to the tests that are routinely done at the Vivo Energy laboratory. The mobile lab, fitted into a vehicle, will be collecting samples randomly from Shell stations and conducting basic quality tests on site, while also returning samples to the main laboratory at the depot for further analysis where issues are detected.
"We already have the superior quality Shell fuels, and we test our products at our laboratories located at all loading points along the supply chain, but we feel that's not enough," says Mr Hans Paulsen, the Vivo Energy Uganda's managing director. "We are constantly working at giving our customers the very best products therefore protecting quality is a priority for us. The mobile testing lab helps us to do that. "
Dr Ben Manyindo, the Executive Director of National Bureau of Standards, praised Vivo Energy for its proactive approach to quality assurance.
"It greatly enhances the work that Vivo Energy is already doing and provides additional support to the work UNBS is also doing with our mobile vans. Vivo Energy works in partnership with us to offer support. They have also opened up their laboratory for us to conduct tests whenever the need arises," he said.

Schematics and maps are visual representations of the objects within a system, such as diagrams of computer systems, subway stations, or underground cable routing. Schematic diagrams may show only a specific section of a greater whole, where objects can be visually represented. Diagrams are also often represented with objects and connections on a physical map, such as a mapping of airline routes or oil and gas field wells.
With schematics and maps, users are able to better understand complex architectures and connections within their systems and subsystems. They can then use this information to plan proposed updates to see how different adjustments may affect the system as a whole, and choose the best option.

The Nursing Home as a Fashion Archive
In his book "Everyone Dies Young: Time Without Age," Marc Augé compares time, as old age experiences it, with a kind of palimpsest: "Everything inscribed there does not reappear, and sometimes the earliest inscriptions surface most easily."[1] From this he draws the conclusion that everyone dies young, with one's earliest memories closest to the surface.[2] I found this observation theoretically interesting and relevant to the view of fashion and clothing as a cultural discourse and practice. The fashion market is strongly youth-directed and youth influences the modes of creation, production, diffusion, and consumption, and as a discursive domain, sets significant parameters in fashioning the body.[3] Cultural attitudes towards aging are markedly different and are often shrouded in negative connotations, which are gender-unequal. The female body in the western world is more notably subjected to the constrictions of beauty myths, as well as of being commodified.
The contemporary emergence of cultural gerontology has influenced research in fashion studies and generally incited interest in old age culture. Unlike dominant paradigms that analyze old age in sociological and economical contexts, cultural gerontology analyzes elderly people and their subjectivity to encompass unproblematic aspects of old age.[4] While scholars in fashion studies have analyzed elderly people's relation to fashion, dress, embodiment, and identity, the fashion media, on the other hand, is a powerful institution that can popularize certain issues, giving them more public visibility. In the last decades, the interest in old age is evident in the increased content on this subject (movies, books, blogs), and has resulted in a fashion term "advanced style." The emergence of Iris Apfel as a style icon marketed to more than just her own generation is an example of this increased acceptance of the elderly as possibly inspirational style figures. As a staple of New York's Upper East Side, Apfel, however, possesses large amounts of social and economic capital to which the fashion industry attaches immense importance.
On the other side of the coin, behind the fashion scenes, are the everyday dress practices of the elderly and their past and present experiences of dress and fashion. Their relationships to fashion have often been neglected and therefore left unknown to history, even though they share an equal experience in the dress history of all cultures.
Personal experiences regarding dress and fashion are included in the project "Fashion and Clothing Inventory: Individual Economy and Dress Culture of Elderly People" run by CIMO – Center for Research of Fashion and Clothing. The research project is a case study carried out in nursing homes, which are part of the social welfare system, located near the city center of Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. The project began in 2014 and is still in progress, and it researches the past and present dress culture of elderly people in the present social context.
This specific location shed a singular light on dress and fashion in old age. For elderly people, the decision to move to a new home and leave behind one's old habits represents a significant life change. Regarding personal wardrobe, this requires a new inventory process and the urge to reshape the individual economy. Due to the limited room space provided (whether single or double) in the nursing home, one is forced to create a personal collection of things that are essential and that will be kept as mementos in this new home context. This process is subjected to possible inclusions or exclusions of former clothing habits and a transfer of memories.
The research method is based on oral history, open dialogue and clothing artifacts in relation to personal photographic albums as visual evidence of their past. It makes visible personal punctums regarding dress and fashion that would otherwise dissolve into oblivion. Narrators had in their albums snapshot photography, which as a document captures "clothing in use" in everyday situations as actually worn.[5] Personal archives are used in order to augment and facilitate personal and cultural memory related to dress and fashion, but also for personal reflection and investigation of self in particular time and space. What characterizes these photos is a spontaneous view, which reveals more authentic "time-image" reflection of the past.[6]
The first contact with residents of the nursing home was made via a lecture that was organized as part of a socio-cultural program. This program is usually organized by the nursing home and is not mandatory for residents. However, the interest for the "Fashion talk" was great. The idea was to present the project and its methodology and, by using images, briefly relate fashion and dress to body and identity. After the lecture finished, the residents who wanted to participate in the project left their data. Although all residents have different personal histories and habits, they are situated in the same social context. For instance, a famous singer from socialist Yugoslavia to whom we spoke is not seen as any different from other residents.
Personal and family albums and garments are carriers of meanings, which is why they are useful for recalling memories that contribute to positive reflections on personal and somewhat private sources of wellbeing.[7] During the process of relocation into the new home, a personal collection of mementos comes into full light. It arises from the context of the nursing home and its ambivalent position as a place and a non-place. As a non-place they do not integrate the previous place and there is an evident lack of symbolic, historical and identity relations, unlike what residents had likely had with their former home.[8] On the other hand residents get an allotment of space (single or double rooms), where one can, although limitedly, objectify feelings of their former home. In such circumstances the concept of wellbeing is constructed with objective mementos, such as family and personal albums and wardrobe, which act as the media for evoking personal memory.
Revealing different personal stories with this project, we have assembled an archive of individual and collective memory related to fashion and dress practice of the socialist Yugoslav past (1945-1991) and present. Questions of archiving imply questions of power that are closely linked to a social power in a given geographical place and time. In this way, the history is extended to the elderly socio-cultural group, whose dress practices and memory often go undocumented. The case study research in the nursing home shows that notions of the archive can be extended beyond the traditional view.[9] The nursing home should be seen as a place and not as a non-place. It functions as reconstructive and representative space with stories of the past, thus equally contributing to the creation of memory structure and knowledge production. As an institutional, structured place that alternates residents, it has specific and affirmative value of the here and now realities that is of great importance for the research.

Our campaign asks
Our aim is to end the routine use of pesticides in Bristol's public spaces.
We are calling on the council to adopt a pesticides policy which protects local citizens and the environment, specifically;
- To reduce urban pesticide use in all areas under its control
- To eliminate some of the most hazardous pesticides altogether (starting with glyphosate)
- To define a strict 'last resort' policy for pesticide use – whereby pesticide is applied where it is genuinely the ONLY option (i.e. in the control of aggressive invasive species like Japanese knotweed)
In addition to these measures, we are asking the council to:
- Adopt sustainable methods of pest control, using recognised organic techniques as standard
- Publish full annual data on pesticide use by the Council and its contractors
- Provide clear public notices about spraying in the case of 'last resort' use
- Ensure proper safety for employees and contractors using pesticides
Declare your outdoor space pesticide free, and help us to show support for safe, sustainable weed control:

Health is one of the most precious things a human can possess. If you do not have good health you are not going to be able to enjoy life or even take care of those that you love. In that sense, good health matters more than anything else. That is why we should always go to a physician the moment we find our health to be failing.
Even if we go to the right doctor at the right time we can get into trouble if the doctor does not have proper patient treating provisions or Australian medical supplies. There are a number of items which fall under this category of patient treating provisions. When the doctor does not have the right ones the doctor is going to face two main problems.
Not Being Able to Identify the Conditions Correctly
A doctor has to use a number of patient treating provisions to identify the condition someone is suffering from. The first patient treating provision he or she uses is the stethoscope. However, according to the condition of the patient the doctor may have to use a number of other patient treating provisions as well. He or she might need to check the blood pressure of the patient. There can be a need to inspect the eyes or throat or the ears of the patient. All of this can only be done well if there are patient treating provisions for those specific purposes with the doctor. The moment they are not there the doctor is not going to be able to identify the condition with ease as fast as possible.
Not Being Able to Treat the Conditions Correctly
The other major problem of not having the right patient treating provisions is not being able to treat the patient correctly. For example, someone who is having a heart condition will have sometimes the need to be treated using defibrillators suppliers. However, if those patient treating provisions are not available the doctor is going to have a hard time in treating the patient. Not having the right patient treating provisions can lead to patient deaths at times. That is why every hospital and every patient treatment facility tries to get every necessary patient treating provision. They know how important having those patients treating provisions is for the patients who come to them trusting their professional services. Whenever the right patient treating provisions are not there with a doctor he or she is going to have a hard time with identify the condition fast and properly as well as treating the condition well.

What is Tantra?
Lots of people believe Tantra is just about sex and getting naked. It's not.
A doctrine originating in India, Tantra means "to stretch" ('Tan') "the instrument of yourself" ('Tra'). It's "the way of expanding ourselves".
Tantra includes sexuality, but it's really about how to live an amazing life, how to have healthy relationships and process your emotions in a way that really serves you. It's about being your authentic self, and living a vibrant life.
What is Kundalini?
Kundalini is your vital energy. It's that 'something' that makes a parent rock their baby, musicians to write their melodies, lovers to sway during a slow dance…
It's that something you experience when you try not to laugh when we're supposed to be serious, when you're overcome with emotion at near miss at the football or grief at a funeral, when you're pumped after an amazing yoga session.
Kundalini is life force—when accessed and moved, has incredible potency in your life.
I've heard some things about kundalini... Will I be safe to move my kundalini energy here?
You're in safe hands! Chantelle and Simon are experts in kundalini energy and healing the emotional body. You'll be supported and given all the tools you need to stay safe while moving energy. These are powerful tools you can use in your regular life too!
How 'hands-on' is this workshop? And does it include nudity?
The workshop will involve practical and physical solo, group work, plus you'll have opportunities to work with trained bodyworkers during the workshop.
There is no nudity. This workshop relates to sexuality, but involves non-sexual, uncomplicated & beautiful interaction.
Remember, you're in your personal sovereignty 100% of the time. You go at your pace and do only what YOU want to do.
Is it for single people and people with partners?
It's suitable for everyone. For people with partners, this workshop can transform your relationship.
Do I have to have a partner and must I bring them?
No and no (unless they want to come! )
All genders & queer-friendly?

This guide to sulfites in wine is part of our wine guide series. Learn about the subtleties of wine, how they affect wine flavor and how compounds such as sulfites can aid in preserving wine.
What are Sulfites in Wine?
The term Sulfite is used to describe a chemical compound called sulfur dioxide. This compound is common and occurs naturally not only in grapes used to make wine, but in many other fruits as well. In fact, mangos and apricots contain almost 10 times more sulfites than what is found in red wine.
Evidence of sulfite use in early winemaking has been found during excavations around ancient Rome. Indicating that the Romans discovered its fumigating properties by burning candles around their wine barrels.
Why Sulfites are used in Wine
Winemakers will commonly add additional sulfur dioxide to some wines at the beginning of fermentation in order to increase longevity of the juice. In short, sulfites are used as a preserving agent in wine, which, specifically has antioxidant, anti-browning and antimicrobial properties. Thus, helping to prevent a wine from turning into vinegar.
How much sulfur dioxide goes into a wine?
The quantity of sulfites present in wine depends on the kind grape varietals being used and what qualities a winemaker is looking to achieve with their product. For example, wines with high acidity require less sulfur dioxide, as the acid already aids in preservation.
Sidenotes: Sulfites in general have gotten a bad rap over the past few decades. In reality, they are not the cause of headaches as rumored to be from drinking red wine.
Some winemakers today include a label on their bottle saying "Contains Sulfides." This is because a percentage of the United States population is highly allergic to the sulfur dioxide compound, especially those with asthma. Only wines that contain 10 PPM (parts per million) or more of the sulfur dioxide compound are legally required to be labeled in this manner in the US.
Should I be Concerned About Sulfites in Wine?
The short answer is no. If you have known food allergies, or find yourself overly sensitive to certain foods that contain preservatives (like many processed foods or packaged meats), you might do yourself a favor to limit your intake. The same goes for those who may be asthmatic. Just listen to what your body is telling you. Don't use a headache as an indicator to being overly sensitive to sulfur. The reality is you probably just had too much wine, too much cheese and didn't drink enough water. The quantity of sulfites in most wine is vanishingly small and typically will not affect most wine drinkers.

Hi! Thanks for the informative article. Our family's company, Deerfield Ranch Winery, is pioneering the way for low sulfite wines. We call it Clean Wine. If you're interested you can learn more about it at cleanwine.info
Although most winemakers and wine writers believe sulfite is a good preservative in wine, it is not. Sulfite is a poor preservative because it takes a huge dose, more than is used in wine, to actually kill a pathogen. All it does is retard the growth of bacteria, does practically nothing to spores and has no affect on many contaminants that are off flavor and smell components of earlier contamination. What Sulfite is very good at is as an antioxidant. It keeps the wine from prematurely oxidizing during barrel aging and bottling. Bacteria and other contamination is best avoided by good vineyard management, careful picking and sorting of the bunches of grapes and then the grapes themselves, good housekeeping at the winery, avoiding the use of contaminated oak barrels and by good fermentation management. With these techniques SO2 can be kept to a very low level. A small percentage of wine drinkers can be sensitive to as little as 15 ppm (parts per million) SO2. A low level of SO2 in the CLEAN bottled wine is used up by the free oxygen dissolved in the wine become nonreactive SO4. The wine can then be released at less than 14 ppm. It is not necessary to have any more if the wine is free of contaminants. Bacteria in wine during fermentation also creates histamine, which is the cause of red wine headaches. By keeping bacteria levels low the winemaker can avoid histamine in the wine and make wine that does not cause headaches or hangovers in those people so affected.

If you are looking for my Thanksgiving menus and recipes Click Here! Want something a bit more continental? Try my Five Course Dinner with a Little French Flare or a Rustic Italian Feast. Or invent your own feast – it's easy with my index of seasonal recipes with links to make your Thanksgiving special.
How big is your Thanksgiving turkey? I am always daunted or maybe flabbergasted is a better word, by people who cook mega turkeys. You've seen these ginormous beasts in the supermarket. I'm not sure which is bigger, a Mini Cooper or one of those super turkeys. I guess one of these monsters would fit in my oven but I'm not convinced I could lift it.
And the leftovers, my gosh, they must go on and on for weeks!
Unless something more pressing like skiing or the beach was on the agenda, my family always sat down to a traditional Sunday dinner when I was a kid. Those Sunday feasts were a small celebration of family, sort of like a mini Thanksgiving. More often than not, a roast was the centerpiece, roast beef, pot roast, leg of lamb, roast chicken or pork.
And if memory serves, those Sunday roasts lived on for at least a couple of nights as leftovers. Most afternoons as six o'clock approached, my sister, brother or I, or more likely all three of us, began to pester Mom. We'd ask that universal question, "What's for dinner?" On leftover nights, the answer was more often than not "Mrs. Slusser's Delight". For many years, I assumed that Mrs. Slusser was a mythical character like Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines and developed by Mom to sell those leftovers.
Without a Madison Avenue campaign to cast her, I always imagined Mrs. Slusser as a large, middle aged woman who wore flowered housedresses and ruffled aprons. Think Ethel Mertz and you'll get the picture. Mrs. Slusser was no gourmet cook. When Mom channeled Mrs. S., her "delightful" concoctions were whatever could be found in the refrigerator plus a splash of wine and a dollop of sour cream. Rice or noodles were usually added to stretch the Sunday roast for just one more meal. The results were hit and miss.
Imagine my surprise when I learned a few years ago that there actually was a Mrs. Slusser. She was the grandmother of Dink Slusser, one of my dad's fraternity brothers at MIT. I've got to hope for his sake that Dink was not his real name but a nickname. Anyway, after every vacation Dink would return to Cambridge loaded down with bags of leftovers from his Grandma S. Dink and friends would throw everything together, give it a stir and call it dinner if not delightful.
With all respect to Dink and his granny, leftovers are more than a way to quickly and cheaply feed a bunch of teenagers. They are a great opportunity to reinvent a meal. I'm happy to throw some leftover chicken into a wok with fresh veggies for a flavorful stir-fry or add pork to a black bean chili. Any extra lamb is delicious in a fiery Vindaloo curry. Add steak or shrimp to a medley of crispy veggies tossed in a spicy vinaigrette and you've got a tasty Thai salad. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.
But back to the Thanksgiving turkey, what is the perfect size? Although I stay away from those super-sized turkeys, don't get me wrong, I like turkey. I just don't want to eat it for days and days and days. About three-quarters to a pound per person is more than enough for the feast, a few sandwiches and dinner on Friday. Then it's time to throw the bird into the kettle for some amazing soup.
How big a turkey are you cooking this year? I guess it all depends on the size of your oven, the number around your table and just how many of Mrs. Slusser's delightful recipes you have collected.
Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the long weekend. Bon appétit!
Turkey Noodle Soup with Spinach
If you don't have a leftover turkey handy, you can use leftover chicken and chicken stock (homemade or store bought). Enjoy!
Serves 8-10
Olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 carrots, chopped
4 celery stalks, chopped
4 cloves of garlic, minced
Pinch dried chili flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
10-12 cups homemade turkey stock
2 cups crushed tomatoes
3-4 sprigs thyme
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 bay leaf
2-3 cups leftover turkey cut into bite size pieces
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
6-8 ounces baby spinach
4-6 ounces angel hair pasta, broken into 2-inch pieces
Lightly coat the bottom of a soup kettle with olive oil. Add the onion, carrots and celery and, stirring frequently, cook over medium heat for about10 minutes or until the onion is translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
Add the white wine and simmer for 3-5 minutes. Add the turkey stock, crushed tomatoes, thyme, bay leaf and turkey. Increase the heat to medium high and bring the soup to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
Raise the heat to medium-high, add the spinach in handfuls and stir to combine. Stir in the pasta and, stirring a few times, cook for 2-3 minutes or until the pasta is al dente.
Ladle the soup into mugs or bowls and serve.
Turkey Stock
1 turkey carcass
1 large onion, quartered
2 carrots, cut into large chunks
2 celery stalks, cut into large chunks
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Put the turkey carcass, vegetables, bay leaf and thyme in a large soup pot, add enough water to cover the turkey plus an inch or two, season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Skim the foam as it collects on the surface. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 3 hours.
Strain the stock through a colander and discard the solids. Stain the stock again through a fine-mesh sieve or a colander lined with 2-3 layers of cheesecloth. Cool the stock, skim the excess fat and refrigerate until ready to use.

Tracefmt Commands
To use Tracefmt, type the commands in a Command Prompt window. The following syntax displays the elements of a Tracefmt command.
To display the trace messages in readable form, Tracefmt must apply the formatting instructions in a trace message format file to the trace messages. The syntax that you use depends on whether you have a TMF file for the trace provider, or whether you want Tracefmt to create a TMF file.
To provide a TMF file or a path to a directory of TMF files:
tracefmt [EtlFile | -rt SessionName][-tmf TMFFile | -p TMFPath ] [Options]
To create a TMF file:
tracefmt [EtlFile | -rt SessionName]-i ImageFiles [-r SymbolPath ] [-p TmfPath ] [Options]
To display the syntax at the command line.
tracefmt -h | /?
Specifies the event trace log (.etl) file that contains the trace messages. Enter the path (optional) and file name. The default is c:\logfile.etl.
-rt SessionName
Real time. Formats trace messages from the specified real-time trace sessions, instead of from a trace log.
SessionName is the name of the trace session. The default is NT Kernel Logger.
-tmf TMFFile
Specifies the path (optional) and file name of a trace message format (.tmf) file for the trace messages. The default value is Default.tmf, a file included in the WDK.
-i ImageFiles
Directs Tracefmt to find the PDB symbol files for the specified image files and to create a TMF file from the formatting instructions in the PDB files.
ImageFiles represents the path and file names of one or more binary files (.exe, .dll, or .sys) for trace providers. Use a semicolon (;) to separate image file names.
-r SymbolPaths
Specifies the location of the private PDB symbol files for the image files specified in -i.
SymbolPaths represents one or more paths to directories that store private symbols or symbol server paths. Use a semicolon (;) to separate path names. The path names in SymbolPaths can include wildcard characters, such as an asterisk (*) to represent multiple characters and a question mark (?) to represent a single character.
If you include -i in a command, but omit -r, Tracepdb searches for the PDB files for the specified images in the paths specified by the %_NT_SYMBOL_PATH% environment variable. If the environment variable is not set, Tracepdb searches in the default symbol path, srv*\\\\symbols\\symbols.
-p TMFPath
Specifies the path to the directory that stores TMF files.
When -p is used without -i, Tracefmt searches in the path specified by -p for an existing TMF file. If -p is omitted Tracefmt looks for the TMF file in the value of the %TRACE_FORMAT_SEARCH_PATH% environment variable, if it is set. Otherwise, Tracefmt tries to apply the formatting instructions in the Default.tmf file.
When -p is used with -i, Tracefmt places the TMF file that it creates in the directory specified by -p. If -p is omitted, Tracefmt places the TMF file in the directory specified by the value of the %TRACE_FORMAT_SEARCH_PATH% environment variable, if it is set. Otherwise, Tracefmt places the file in the local directory.
-h | /?
Displays help.
-o OutputFile
Specifies alternate names for the Tracefmt output file and the Tracefmt summary message file. The default values are FmfFile.txt (for the output file) and FmtSum.txt.sum (for the summary file) in the local directory.
OutputFile is a path and file name with a .txt file name extension, such as c:\traces\trace.txt.
If you use this parameter with the -displayonly or -summaryonly options, it affects only the summary message file.
Formats the Tracefmt output file as a comma-separated, variable length (.csv) file. This format adds a detailed, structured prefix to each message, in addition to the standard trace message prefix.
This option affects the output file and the display of trace messages in the Command Prompt window, if any.
Adds a row of descriptive column headings to the CSV file. This header is especially useful for interpreting the structured prefix that Tracefmt adds to CSV files. By default, Tracefmt CSV files do not have column headings.
Doubles all quotations marks (") in the CSV file. This feature is designed for applications that display quotation marks only when they are enclosed in quotation marks.
Displays the trace messages in the Command Prompt window, in addition to writing them to the output file.
Displays the trace messages only in the Command Prompt window, and does not create an output file.
Does not create a summary message file.
Creates only a summary message file. Tracefmt does not create an output file.
Omits the trace message prefix. This option affects trace messages in the output file and the Tracefmt display.
High resolution. Displays the number of microseconds and nanoseconds in the trace message time stamp. By default, only milliseconds are displayed.
Use this option when a performance counter clock value is used for the trace message time stamp, instead of the system timer, such as when the Tracelog -UsePerfCounter parameter is used. For information about Tracelog commands, see Tracelog Command Syntax.
Displays the local or global sequence numbers in the trace message prefix. If sequence numbers were not recorded in the message, the field is uninitialized, or filled with zeros or "f"s.
Sends the formatted trace messages to the debugger for display.
Displays the time stamp on each trace message in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
This option affects only the Tracefmt output file. It does not convert the time stamps in the event trace log (.etl) file. The time zone of the trace log is displayed when you submit a Tracefmt command.
Displays the time stamp on each trace message in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). UTC is almost identical to GMT, but it represents midnight as zero.
This option affects only the Tracefmt output file. It does not convert the time stamps in the event trace log (.etl) file. The time zone of the trace log file is displayed when you submit a Tracefmt command.
Displays Tracefmt actions as they occur. This information is useful when the formatting is incorrect or when Tracefmt reports an error or exception.
The trace display can be extensive. Consider redirecting the Tracefmt output to a text file for later examination.
Verbose. Displays detailed information in the Command Prompt window as Tracefmt processes each block or buffer of trace messages. Use this option when you suspect file damage or inconsistencies.
Finding the TMF file
If you omit the -i parameter, Tracefmt use the following methods to find the TMF file. The methods are listed in order that Tracefmt uses them.
The -tmf parameter.
The -p parameter.
The %TRACE_FORMAT_SEARCH_PATH% environment variable.
Default.tmf, a file included in the WDK.
If Tracefmt cannot find a TMF file, or the TMF file does not include formatting information for the trace messages, Tracefmt cannot display the messages. Instead, it writes the following error message in place of the trace message
No Format Information found.
Exception Raised
If Tracefmt cannot format a trace message parameter, it raises an exception and displays a message such as:
*****FormatMessage Header(Header) of EventTrace, parameter 23 raised an exception*****
If you see a similar exception, review the message definition in the source code, with special attention to any user-specified variable types. For more information, see DoTraceMessage.
TMF files with non-GUID file names
If the TMF file name is not a message GUID, you must use the -tmf parameter to identify the file and enter the fully qualified path to the file.
Formatting NT Kernel Logger trace messages
To format messages from the NT Kernel Logger trace session or a Global Logger trace session, use the -tmf parameter to specify the system.tmf file, a trace message format file included in the WDK..
Formatting trace messages from real-time trace sessions
When you use the -rt (real-time) parameter, Tracefmt displays a message confirming that it is in real-time mode, and then waits for trace messages from the specified trace provider. It does not return to the command prompt until the trace session stops.
Formatting QPC time stamps
Tracefmt does not format the values of the system performance counter clock (QueryPerformanceCounter) correctly. If you are using this high resolution time, use Tracerpt, a tool included in Windows XP and later versions of Windows, to format the trace messages. For more information, see the description of the -UsePerfCounter parameter in Tracelog Command Syntax.
Out-of-sequence trace messages
If you view a trace message file on a computer running Windows XP, the display might show trace messages that are out of sequence. To correct this problem, you can use the sequence number option when you start the trace session and view the trace using Tracefmt. You can then view the trace with Traceview and sort according to sequence number. You can also view the trace on a computer running Windows Server 2003 or later versions of Windows.
