Consider the light bulb. It's changed little since Thomas Edison began selling his carbon filament design in the 1880s, with the bulk of improvements occurring in terms of energy efficiency as scientists have developed better filaments.
But now, as countries all around the world are phasing out the traditional incandescent bulbs, there's a real chance for something totally different to rise to the fore and it might not be what you think.
LED bulbs have exceptional energy efficiency. But there are other options…
You've probably seen the leading contenders — the compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), which is highly energy efficient but slow to reach full brightness, and the light-emitting diode, or LED, which has exceptional energy efficiency and can produce white rather than yellowish light but only recently became cheap enough to consider a viable option for general use.
Commercial LED bulbs last an order of magnitude longer and use a sixth of the power of incandescent bulbs at the same luminescence — making them a likely long term successor to the light bulb, especially if their price continues to slide down towards CFL and halogen bulbs.
But there are many other technologies shining their way into the market and lighting up research laboratories around the world. One is closely related to LEDs. OLEDs, or organic light emitting diodes, differ from LEDs in that they're made up of flat films that light up when fed an electric current. The panels allow for some striking lighting designs as you can see below.
OLED panels like the Lumiblade technology from Philips are ideally suited to use in ceilings and walls, especially as they produce a dimmer, more diffuse light that is gentle on the eyes. And it's a technology that's ready for market now.
OLED lighting has promise, but panels are much more expensive than LED bulbs
A report from 2014 suggests that OLED panels may make major inroads in commercial lighting in 2016 and perhaps become a leading technology in the next decade. But first their price will need to come down considerably, as OLED lighting currently works out around 10 to 100 times more expensive than conventional alternatives.
Some emerging lighting solutions steer more closely to the maturing LED tech, but push it in new directions. CoeLux, for instance, uses nanostructures to scatter LED light in the same way that tiny particles in the atmosphere scatter sunlight in different parts of the world, thereby acting as an artificial skylight.
LEDs aren't the be all and end all, though. Since announcing the technology in late 2013, BMW has been switching its cars over to laser-powered headlights.
Other manufacturers such as Audi are following suit. The promise here is that lasers can beam out a much, much brighter blue-tinged white light than even LEDs at a fraction of the energy and focused into a small area.
Laser headlights put less strain on your eyes
That means drivers will be able to see objects more clearly, and because the beam is at the blue end of the white light spectrum — just as our eyes are tuned at night — it'll also put less strain on your vision. (And don't worry about safety — the laser beam is converted into harmless non-laser light before it gets reflected onto the road.)
Further into the future we may see wonder material graphene become a prominent light-generating technology. The versatile carbon allotrope has been used to develop what could very soon become a commercial light bulb — though scant details have been revealed and experts aren't convinced that there's any impending graphene-based lighting revolution.
Graphene also made headlines recently for its use in the world's thinnest light bulb. Engineered by a team of scientists from Columbia, Seoul National University (SNU), and the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS), the bulb is just one atom thick but easily visible with the naked eye.
This new light source can be integrated into silicon chips for potential purposes that scientists are only just beginning to wrap their minds around.
It probably won't light up homes of the future like LEDs and OLEDs, or shine the path ahead like lasers, but graphene could be the future of lighting, only more likely on a microscale. — Richard Moss (@MossRC)


text: Bakounine and they seem to be active since a google search gives many results about gigs they played. I don't know what their name means, the google translator says "Mustache Motorbike and club". Anyway, their demo comes as cassette, it was released recently and consists of nine songs (incl. an instrumental intro) and eighteen minutes of crust n roll/motor-crust, call whatever you like this Motorhead influenced crust, delivered by a shitload of bands around the world (Speedwolf, Whipstriker, Inepsy, Malignant Tumour and so many others), the quality of sound is decent and a little filthy, the vocalist has rough voice, the guitar deliver Motorhead-ish riffs, and the bassist is in the crowd drinking with the boozers: VMK is a duet, drums/guitar and no bass. Unfortunately the dnld file has not song titles so we can not know what mustache related shit they deal about in their lyrics. This is nice stuff where Motorhead meets Discharge and D-beat and create this joyful sonic landscape that stinks alcohol and makes you wanna dance and drink more and more and since we all love Motorhead and Discharge there is always space in your music taste for something like that. The download link is provided by the band. Listen it while having a drink (or more than one)

Introduction:Anemia is a serious issue of health care and is one of the most important nutritional problems in the world. Knowledge and practices of pregnant women based on their beliefs play an important role in anemia prevention therefore its assessment is necessary
Objective:The purpose of study was to determine the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women and their health knowledge and its complication in pregnancy
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 393 pregnant women were selected with nonprobability sampling method and the study was carried out in the first half of year 2013. Questionnaire was used to collect general information and knowledge level assessment regarding four domains of preventive measures, methods, inducing factors, disease symptoms and anemia complication in pregnancy. Blood samples were collected for hemoglobin estimation. Descriptive, Chi-square and
t- student test were used for statistical analysis
Results: Overall prevalence of anemia among the women was found to be 28.8%. The results have shown relatively moderate levels on prevention methods scores and knowledge of anemia factors, low level knowledge on disease symptoms and moderate level of knowledge on complications. Also there were a statistically significant relationship between the prevalence of anemia and knowledge score on prevention methods, disease symptoms and total knowledge score in pregnant women(p<0.05).
Conclusion: According to the finding of this study, prevalence of anemia was very high. It is necessary for health system to properly plan for effective factors to decrease this disease such as people's awareness

Sebelius Promotes Obamacare to Philadelphia Latino Community
Robert Neff on Flickr
The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was in Philadelphia to address the Latino community about enrolling in health insurance plans.
According to Sebelius, Latinos have the highest rate of the uninsured in the US. Latinos make up 17 percent of the "eligible uninsured." This rules out undocumented immigrants. The city's population is 12 percent Latino.

Basic Skills
In this century that we are in, there are some basic skills that we all need to posses for us to excel in this world. Some of these skills require that we know how to essay as there are many people who wish to be communicated through writing of essays. It is therefore a perfect idea that we all learn these important skills as they are important in shaping our destinies. I know that it is not a walk in the part for people to excel in life; but with constant practice, then they can make it. I am not saying that all people must be forced to do what they don't like; but what I mean is that we need to learn some basic things in our lives. I am stressing this because of the fact that there are many things that require our first knowledge for us to do them better.
There are many things that people can do so that they can become the best writers and one of these things is self-interest. I consider self-interest to be the best; because it is what will drive us to do what we like. We must therefore teach ourselves some small things if we want to excel in life.

Beauty blast: Andy Warhol x Nars + the ultimate designer drop
OMG this week has seen four of the most amazing beauty collaborations of late. We'll slow down and breathe…the excitement in the Snap office is palpable! Here's part one…
1) Nars x Andy Warhol
We have been obsessed with Andy Warhol's art forever and one of our favourites is that portrait of Elizabeth Taylor with the punchy green eyeshadow. And now, we can paint our own faces with a collection from Nars inspired by the great pop artists's prints. Hurray! One of our favourite pieces from the collection is the Warhol monochrome eyeshadow palate- but is it too pretty to use…is it itself a work of art?!
(P.S. the pics came out this week but the collection drops on 1 November)
2) Carine Roitfeld for MAC
One for sexy senoritas. This looks like a super chic way of updating old make-up bag favouites as the collection is based on Carine's chic and smudy signature eyes- or as she puts it, 'tired sexy'. Now we can rock the tired look, but this Mac launch might help with the other bit and OMG there's a video!
There are 21 pieces to collect (and you can justify a few as they are smoky staples) but as with all Mac collections you better catch them while you can.
Carine says: "Beauty is about a small accident, it is not totally perfect. Sometimes bad things are the more beautiful things. So when you wake up and you haven't taken off your mascara and you look a bit tired, but tired sexy – this is what I like."
Pics: Vogue and MAC via YouTube.
Fearne Cotton goes Geisha for Very
Fearne Cotton has jumped on the oriental bandwagon for her latest Very clothing collection. We saw oriental-styled details all over the AW12 catwalks, perhaps most notably at Proenza Schouler, while Christopher Kane's cool minimalist aesthetic was our favourite. But Fearne's take on the trend is bolder and brighter.
While the presenter's personal sense of style that we love is still evident, this is a pretty bold look. Are you a fan?
Pics: Very via The Daily Mail + Coco's tea Party for the amazing inspiration board- Read Ella's take on the trend here.
Chanel's Little Black Jacket Exhibition will land in London!
Get excited! Following massive success in Tokyo, New York, Taipei and Hong Kong, Chanel's Little Black Jacket exhibition is coming to London!
We've read our fair share of articles over the years claiming that Chanel jacket is a wardrobe essential (if you can afford one) and it's one of those classic lust-have pieces. But recently we've been rather taken with the work of various bloggers and fashion journalists who have religiously worn the Chanel jacket and styled it in different ways to prove its versatility and timelessness. If you wore it every day for the next decade it could prove to be affordable on a buy-per-wear calculation…(that's what we're telling ourselves).
Of course the project began as a super stylish coffee table book of various models, actors, designers and musos wearing the jacket their way. When the idea is from Karl Lagerfeld and Vogue Paris editor Carine Roitfeld you know it's a good one and even better when Karl takes all 113 photos himself.
You can get your fashionable mitts on the book this Autumn and visit the exhibition from 12-28 October at The Saatchi Gallery, Duke of York's HQ, King's Road, London, SW3 4RY. Admission is free so there's no excuse – put it in your diary!
For real Chanel anoraks (or should that be LBJs) there will also be some beautiful window displays in Chanel's Bond Street, Sloane Square and Brompton Cross boutiques. Get more here including an amazing video about the making of the jacket.
Higgs Boson particle becomes fashion inspiration
While the fashion and science worlds are becoming friendlier (think Christopher Kane's stellar prints, cool fashion-focused technology and innovative new materials,) particle physics does not generally spring to mind as a trend setter.
But amidst the Higgsteria, stylish particle physicists and science fans can show their support and mark a major scientific milestone with a new silk scarf, inspired by – you've guessed it – the elusive Higgs Boson particle. We love it when science and fashion collide.
The Rolling Stones: 50 years of style
There are few bands that are so effortlessly cool and stylish as The Stones. Whether it's Mick's moves in Studio 54, various super model girlfriends, wives and offspring, iconic album covers by the coolest designers of the day or Keith Richards' epic scarf collection, the band has arguably been as influential on our wardrobes as they have on our record collections.
To celebrate 50 years since the Stones' first gig, here are some favourite pics and style influences…let's hope they'll keep on touring so we can (eventually) catch them in concert!
Pics: The AP, theredlist.fr, sinistersaladmusikal and michaelarnoldart.
Style Crush: Dree Hemingway
Oh off-duty models, you make us sooo green with envy with your effortless style, killer wardrobes and awesome skin! One of our favourites is Dree Hemingway. A fan of leather trousers, kick-ass boots, floaty dresses and awesome hair – not to mention her cool literary connection of being seminal novelist Ernest Hemingway's great granddaughter – we're a little obsessed.
Girls on Film: Melissa Joan Hart as Clarissa
Oh the nineties- Dr Marten boots, leggings, clashing prints, tie dye, Keith Haring, denim jackets, printed jeans and big pendant necklaces…on wait, that's kinda like 'now' too. So perhaps it is time to resurrect a former fashion hero of ours –Melissa Joan Hart as Clarissa Darling (you know the tune if you're a child/teen of the nineties!)
A word of caution – some of these looks are probably a little too much but aside from Kate Moss and various cool indie chicks, I think Clarissa is one of the decade's (less appreciated) icons.
Whistles vs Gustav Kilmt
We spotted this super dress from Whistles, which is a little bit Erdem but also reminded us of the fabulous paintings of Gustav Klimt. Are you a fan?
Micro trend: anti-detail
I was having a browse on Tumblr for several hours while watching the Queen's boat parade on telly and noticed a new 'thing' and I'm calling it the 'anti detail' – when a detail or feature of a piece of clothing is cut out to expose some flesh.
Versace's couture collection and recent mainline collection have showed tantalising glimpses of skin but I like the anti-pocket…skin where a pocket should be! And check out Taylor Swift's anti-collar!
I have also realised that I have missed out on a whole DIY fashion thing of making anti-skull patterns in vests. Am I the only one?!

Saree is undoubtedly a beautiful clothing for every woman regardless of her age and shape (but consider what suits you the best). However, not all sarees look good on everyone (imagine a short height woman wearing bold and big prints). Anyways, Did you ever imagine that you can wear one piece of cloth in about 100 different ways?? If not then you have underestimated Saree. With all those different types of saree and the different kind of drapes, one can try various options. Yes, you can wear it in n number of ways. The styles of draping a saree are endless.
Saree an Indian wear makes a woman look graceful, stylish, elegant and sensuous. Just be a little selective while buying sarees . You should always buy saree by keeping your weight, height, and skin complexion in consideration. The fabric and design should be such that it always compliments you and your body. It should reflect in your attitude and confidence.

Sledgehammer Games and Activision have just blown the lid off Advanced Warfare's multiplayer. Here's a summary of what was revealed during the multiplayer reveal live stream but expect a more in-depth write up for all the new features that were announced. For now, let us get you up to speed…
Pick 13 – The Create a Class system that was introduced during Black Ops 2 is returning, except now you have room for 13 options instead of 10. Scorestreak selection is now part of the system and you now have the option to have a 4th Scoresteak if you use a wild card to enable it.
Upgrade Scorestreaks – Every Scorestreak in Advanced Warfare now has the option to upgrade it and make it more powerful but it comes at cost. The stronger you make the Scorestreak, the more points it takes to earn it.
Supply drops – Also known as random loot, are earned in-game from challenges that can contain anywhere from 1-3 items at random. And Each item is either a common, good, or rare item (defined by 3 colors so you can tell: Enlisted, Professional, Elite). Supply drop items consist of 1) special gun combinations that include rare camos and rare gun designs. 2) Player gear like helmets, exo's, vest, etc.. 3) In game reinforcements or enhancements that are very similar to Titanfall burn cards. All items that you earned are saved in "The Armory" which is a vault that saves up to 84 items.
Exo-Abilities – Every solider has the new unlimited double jump and dash ability, but you can pick one additional special ability through the new Pick 13 system. These new exo abilities are activated by the player during the match (LB- Left Bumper), and used until the Exo Battery is depleted.
- Exo Shield – A quick-deploy shield attached to your exo's arm
- Exo Overclock – Increased footspeed
- Exo Stim – Temporary health regeneration beyond normal levels
- Exo Cloak – Short duration visual concealment
- Exo Hover – Short duration hovering in place
- Exo Ping – Shows enemy movement and weapon fire in the HUD
- Exo Trophy System – Destroys incoming grenades and rockets for a limited period of time
Create-an-Operator – Customize your own in-game character like never before. Similar to the Ghosts customization but now with more options. You can now also customize Eye wear, Tops, Gloves, Pants, Kneeguards, boots, and Exos.
Virtual Firing Range – While you're in create-a-class or waiting in the lobby for the next match to start, you can now seamlessly jump into a virtual firing range with NO LOAD TIME while you wait for the next match to start. Perfect for people you want to test their configurations before the next match.
Co-op Scorestreaks – Some Scorestreaks will have the option to have a second person to assist during the Scorestreak. One example shown was 2 people on a Chopper Gunner type scorestreak called 'Warbird". In addition to customizable scorestreaks, the game introduces Co-Op Scorestreaks, which for the first time, two players can now join up a scorestreak and work together. This is the perfect example of teamwork for those players that rack up score, with those that may not always get the chance to experience the high-end scorestreaks. Teaming up on a Warbird is a perfect way to gain the advantage on the battlefield.
New Weapon Class – "The high tech nature of 2054 is coming to multiplayer and there is no better example than the directed energy weapons. The new Heavy Weapons class includes directed energy weapons like the EM1 and EMPm2. These new weapons use the power of weaponized energy to overcome enemies. This class of weapon doesn't rely on reloads, but instead they are known to overheat after too much activity."
New Game modes:
- Uplink – Similar to Halo's Oddball, the object is to secure the "Drone" (a ball like device) and reach the uplink station which is big glowing sphere at opposite ends of the map. Jump into the sphere to earn the full 2 points or throw the Drone into the Sphere to earn 1 point.
- Momentum – Advanced Warfare is bringing back the "War" game mode that originally only appeared in World at War. Momentum is the Call of Duty version of tug of war. Five consecutive capture points exist on the map, but only one is active at a time. The more kills and captures your team gets, the faster you are able to capture additional points. Once the other team captures on you, the momentum meter gets reset, so your team needs to be at its best the whole game.
- Clan Wars – Currently being developed by Beachhead Studios, we're expecting it to be similar to Clan Wars in Ghosts but nothing has been revealed yet.
- Broadcaster Mode – Nothing has been shown yet but it was promised to be available day one at launch.
- Hardpoint Game Mode – Black Ops 2 fans should be familiar with this mode, its returning to Advanced Warfare.
- and more…

The Plantain has learned that a tourist from Indiana has stopped in the middle of the Tigertail roundabout just outside of Coconut Grove and proceeded to let every car in existence enter.
Albert Oldsman, a 64-year-old from Indianapolis, first drove onto the roundabout at 11.55 AM on Sunday and looks set to remain there until the end of time itself. I visited the scene of the incident to interview Mr. Oldsman through a small crack in his passenger window, who had this to say:
"Yesterday I made some kind of unfathomable error, and found myself on this hellish concrete ice rink," he yelled over the howling chorus of a million car horns behind him. "In Indiana, our roads function at right angles. Our brains function at right angles. Whatever is happening here goes against everything I learnt at my church driving course."
To the right of Albert's car, a steady stream of expensive, leased vehicles were filing onto the roundabout in a neat motion. To the left, a scene not unlike the only interesting part of the movie 'The Day After Tomorrow' was playing out, as an infinite row of Miami residents stuck in this artificial traffic were expressing their dismay not just at being stopped, but at the knowledge that other people in other cars joining the roundabout ahead were somehow gaining a victory over them.
I asked Albert how he had gotten stuck, and if he still maintained hope that he would ever manage to stop yielding to every car in existence and one day exit the roundabout.
"I saw a young family in an SUV about to enter this vehicular pentagon of Satan, so I gestured to them to turn around and save themselves. Sadly, they took it as an encouragement to enter this madness ahead of me, and so has every car since. It pains me to think about. I couldn't save them, but at least I can save the ones behind me."
I suggested that Albert perhaps abandon his car and proceed on foot but he told me the rental charge on his VW convertible was "outrageous" and that he was "determined to make the most of it."

…October Baby.
Highly recommend it!
Indeed! It is VERY good. A couple of notches better than "Bella".
I was borderline shocked that SDG only gave it a "B-"…I can't see it deserving less than a "B+". Personally, I give it an "A-"
When I watched the trailer and the 'emo' music swelled, I balked and stopped watching. I'm such an old fart.
I wasn't Bella's biggest cheerleader, but Bella is head and shoulders above October Baby. Sorry, folks, that's the way it is. October Baby isn't a bad film, but there's a reason Bella won the People's Choice award at the Toronto Film Festival and October Baby just wouldn't. One of these films has power to reach significantly beyond the pro-life / Christian market and the other doesn't, and the one that does is Bella.
In the combox of my NCRegister review of October Baby, Daniel McInerny holds forth on his own far more negative take on October Baby, elaborated in his Catholic Exchange review. My take is more sympathetic and, I think, even-handed, but Daniel's criticisms are legitimate and fair. The makers of October Baby — and all other hopeful Christian filmmakers — would do well to take to heart the points raised in his review and discussed / debated in my combox.

The weapon of Prayer
To eliminate prayer from our daily lives
is to abandon communication with God.
It is through prayer that we have the opportunity
to share our deepest sorrows, joys,
and desires with the only one
who can truly comfort us.
The Weapon Of Prayer
By E. M. Bounds
Why Pray? In his book, The Weapon of Prayer, Edward Bounds states: "The life of the individual believer, his personal salvation, and personal Christian graces have their being, bloom, and fruitage in prayer." As a chaplain in the Confederate States Army during the Civil War, Bounds initiated weekly prayer sessions to strengthen the spiritual state of his local area. His wisdom has impacted Christ-seekers for decades, and his words are as powerful now as they were in the 1800's. Bounds reminds us that throughout Biblical history, many of God's greatest movements were incited by the prayers of God's people.
According to Bounds, prayer must be a priority. Other Christian duties, such as sacred works, communion, and church activities, cannot and should not take the place of prayer. To remind readers that God's presence steadfastly endures, Bounds concludes his piece by providing modern examples of the power of prayer.

CLASH Blog: Wreckingball (10/15/10)
October 15, 2010 · Print This Article
A few days ago, CLASHWRESTLING.COM contacted yours truly and asked me to write a blog about my thoughts on being stripped of the CLASH Tag Team Championship, All Out War and The Future is Unwritten. Next time, if you internet geeks really gave a damn about Wreckingball's thoughts, you will send a camera crew to my house so I could share them on YouTube! The only blogging Wreckingball does is on his official Twitter account at http://www.twitter.com/TheWr3ckingball (Cheap plug, I know). Just this once, Wreckingball will make an exception and blog on CLASHWRESTLING.COM.
First off, let's talk about Wreckingball being stripped of the belts. Do I miss tagging with that stupid, skinny, cheesy, broken pride having, stringbean Will Vendetta? Will Wreckingball miss that dumb tag team name Wreck N' Roll? Nope, not one bit. What I do miss is being a CLASH Tag Team champion. Or should I say that I miss that huge championship bonus in my checks? You know, Wreckingball always knew that Will would end up costing us the belts but I never thought that chump would no show and leave me high and dry. Some people say it was my constant insults towards that no tan having idiot that caused him to miss our match. If so, that no talent, green goofball is more stupid than Wreckingball thought.
On to the All Out War match. Wreckingball entered that ring and did exactly what he does best and that is destroy anyone who got in my way. I chucked four pieces of trash over the top rope (before Tommy Treznik and Dragon Kreed did) including my dancing rival Dave Manzo. The numbers game eventually caught up with Wreckingball as the H3RD ganged up and eliminated me. Now I don't have a problem with the H3RD eliminating me from All Out War. Hell, I think it was a pretty smart strategy for them to all work as one and get me over the top rope. The problem I have with the H3RD is them talking about being the biggest and strongest force in CLASH Wrestling. Wreckingball takes that as an insult. See, everyone knows that I am the biggest and strongest force and if you don't believe me take a look at my track record. Can anyone name that last time Wreckingball was pinned or submitted? I can, July 2009 and that was only because I broke my damn leg in the match.
I hear the H3RD talk about their big plans and their formulas, well on October 23rd at the Future is Unwritten, Wreckingball has a formula of his own and here it is:
400lbs of Wreckingball + The 2010 NPCI Winners = One hell of a beating for the H3RD
That's right, Wreckingball will be teaming up with those dancing boys from Illinois, Too Sweet to take on Austin Manix and The Pain Killers. If you ask me, The H3RD better bring their eye liner, their ugly white jumpsuits and some of that elixir that their cult leader Tommy Treznik has been drinking because they're going to need all the help that they can get. Wreckingball guarantees that he and Too Sweet are going to come out on top and after we win I might have to teach Bryce Benjamin and Joey Marx how to do the "Wreckingball strut."
See ya on the 23rd

Heating elements – NiChrome coils or ribbon, Calrod, Quartz
August 9, 2009
All heating elements perform the same function: convert electricity into heat. In this they have one other characteristic in common: they are all nearly 100% efficient. The only electrical energy which does not result in heat is the slight amount of light (usually red-orange) that is produced by a hot element.
There are 3 basic types of heating elements. Nearly every appliance on the face of the planet will use one of these:
- NiChrome coil or ribbon: NiChrome is an alloy of Nickel and Chromium which has several nice properties for use in heating appliances – First, it has a modest resistance and is thus perfect for use in resistance heating elements. It is easily worked, is ductile, and is easily formed into coils of any shape and size. NiChrome has a relatively high melting point and will pretty much retain its original shape and most importantly, it does not oxidize or deteriorate in air at temperatures up through the orange-yellow heat range.
NiChrome coils are used in many appliances including toasters, convection heaters, blow-dryers, waffle irons and clothes dryers.
The main disadvantage for our purposes is that it is usually not possible to solder this material due to the heating nature of its application. Therefore, mechanical – crimp or screw must be used to join NiChrome wire or ribbon to another wire or terminal. The technique used in the original construction is may be spot welding which is quick and reliable but generally beyond our capabilities.
Testing: Visual inspection should reveal any broken coil or ribbon. If inspection is difficult, use a multimeter on the low ohms scale. Check for both shorts to the metal chassis as well as an open element (infinite ohms).
- Calrod(tm) sealed element: This encloses a fine coiled NiChrome wires in a ceramic filler-binder inside a tough metal overcoat in the form of a shaped rod with thick wire leads or screw or plug-in terminals.
These are found in toaster oven/broilers, hot plates, coffee makers, crock pots and slow cookers, electric range surface elements, conventional and convection ovens and broilers.
Testing: When these fail, it is often spectacular as there is a good chance that the internal NiChrome element will short to the outer casing, short out, and melt. If there is no visible damage but the element does not work, a quick check with an ohmmeter should reveal an open element or one that is shorted to the outer casing.
- Quarts incandescent tube: These are essentially tubular high power incandescent lamps, usually made with a quartz envelope and thus their name.
These are found in various kinds of radiant heaters. By running a less than maximum power – more orange heat – the peak radiation is in the infra-red rather than visible range.
Testing: Look for a broken filament. Test with an ohmmeter just like an incandescent light bulb.

To Women Who Wear Black Leggins as Pants
image from You're Not Special Because (and she wrote a blog entry on black leggings as well. A lot more descriptive than I could ever be at describing the look.)
First of all, I am NOT talking about girls who wear black tights and have a shirt that is long enough to cover their rear ends and their frontal region. That seems okay with me (notice the lack of hearty agreement).
I am talking to the girl who wears black tights in REPLACEMENT of pants: I have very disturbing news for you.
Jabornix_5 explains:
Now you know the creepers come out to play when you wear black leggings as pants. Hope that was some food for thought for all of you women that do this.
I have also witnessed a girl wearing black-leggings-as-pants trip. And what do you know, I got to see all of her back-end through the thin fabric. It was not sexy.
If you don't believe that guys think of girls who wear leggings as pants in this way, please google "girls in yoga pants". I will not link it here since I don't want to give the site more traffic via my site (it is almost soft porn. Ew).
Black Leggings = Trendy, but Not Equal to Good Fashion
I understand that what is trendy in fashion changes a lot, but I don't think this "black leggings as pants" thing is cute at all. I know that most women wear them because they're easy to put on, slimming, comfortable and it can easily match with almost any top you have on. But I do know that when something is trendy, it becomes thoughtless. "Thoughtless" because everyone does it just to fit in with the trend. No, I am not a someone who dresses really well, or someone who knows fashion very well, but "thoughtless" isn't exactly what I think of when I think of good fashion.
What do you think?

Just got back from having a girls weekend with my daughter, Amber. Except it really wasn't during the weekend because she works most weekends. So it was Sunday evening through Tuesday afternoon. I drove the three and a half hour trip Sunday afternoon and arrived at the hotel at 6:00 PM. Amber arrived around 7:00 after she was done at work and we hung out for a while and thought about where we wanted to eat dinner. I was up to pretty much anything just as long as it was a place I had never been to before. While traveling I always like to eat at places that we don't have in our hometown.
It was finally decided that we would try out a place called Oswego Grill in Willsonville that was new to both of us.
If only our hike we had picked out to do on Monday would have turned out as good as our restaurant choice it would have perfect but alas it was pretty much a failure. Although we made the most of it. Either we couldn't follow the book's directions or the road signs. We never did figure out where we went wrong. But we did know that after spending all morning and into the early afternoon and some 100 miles later we still hadn't been able to find the trail head that would have led us to Memaloose Lake.
But like I said we made the most of it and did see some beautiful sights along the way.
Just so you can see what some of the back roads we were driving on looked like I took a couple of photos.
Yep, they were pretty narrow, mostly gravel and full of pot holes, boulders and you had to be careful of branches sticking out over the road and there were lots of squirrels, rabbits and chipmunks that kept running across the road. I tell you it was slow going some times. We did meet someone else on the road so that was a little tricky getting by each other. We stopped to ask if they had any idea how to get to the lake and found out they were just as lost as we were except they were trying to find a rock quarry. We ran into them two more times and we wondered if they ever found it. They seemed just as determined to find their destination as we were.
This is Amber's car on one of the back roads and this was not even the worse one. One was a four wheeler track but that was where her GPS told us the lake was. So we just parked the car and hoofed it up the track that eventually ended. We couldn't figure out why someone would build a road that went no where. Any way it was nice to get out and stretch out our legs before heading back the way we had come.
On the way back we decided to stop at this tiny, peaceful lake.
On the way back down the mountain we caught a glimpse of Mt. Hood.
Well to make a long story short we couldn't find it either so heading back home we came across Milo Mclver State Park and decided to give that a try. There must be a trail we could hike there. First we found a picnic area and ate our lunch then set off to find us a trail to hike.
Most of the hike was in the woods which was nice since it was hot out.
We did find the picturesque Clackamas River at the end of the trail.
It was a relief to sit on a rock, dip our hot feet in the cool water and just enjoy the scenery and quietness before heading back.
We also saw what I think was a blue heron but I'm not sure. Any way it was cool to watch it.
I think I will finish up our mini vacation in another post as this is long enough.
Thanks for stopping by!

It's official... and why South Africa is a stretch part two
Happy Birthday mom! I'll call you later, after you wake up, (as it's 2:00 in the morning for you and 9:00 am for me!) because, I have a phone, I have a phone, I have a phone! I hated cell phones in the States but I LOVE HAVING A CELL PHONE IN SA! I think I love it so because it feels like an umbilical cord to the rest of the world.
Thanks to all of you for dealing with another login for my blog. I know it's a pain, but it is so much fun for me to read ALL OF THE COMMENTS. Reading them always makes me cry. There is no such thing as trivial news from home, all of it feels like nourishment for my spirit.
I'm at the college. I'm sorry my last post about my host-family stay was so negative. I think we were all beginning to get on each other's nerves. At one point, at listening to my family chatter loudly in the other room, I thought to myself, "This is why I moved out of the house from my OWN family." I think I need a bit more space than the average person.
But I loved my time with my host-family, and they are now, and will always be, my African family. They called me last night to make sure I had arrived to the college safely. I have some great photos of them, their home, and the village. I'll post them soon as I now have regular computer time. YAY!
Now, the other half of why I'm having a challenging time adjusting to South Africa.
Personal appearance is everything here. EVERYTHING.
A little background on me, for those who need a refresher. Very much to Deanna's chagrin, I care extremely little about what I look like.
I hate to dress up. HATE IT. My "professional attire" consists of blouses and dresspants. I also tend to buy colors of only brown and black so everything matches. I hate spending any time or worry about what I'm wearing. In fact, my biggest fear is to wear the same thing two days in a row. :-)
So why is this a problem in South Africa?
Everyone dresses to the nines here. Suits, dresses, hosiery, pumps, hair, make up, jewelry, the whole shebang.
I guess this wouldn't be so bad if I lived in a climate whereby there was anything but dust and handy access to washing machines.
That's the thing: as far as I can tell, everyone is handwashing their clothes and polishing their shoes. Are they handwashing those business suits? And everyone IRONS. I hate ironing and haven't even owned an iron for most of my adult life.
And polishing shoes? I don't even know how to polish shoes. My host-father had to show me. So now, on the regular occasion of polishing my shoes, I wonder what my dads would thing. Would they be proud? :-)
While the Peace Corps urges us to try our best to "fit in" with the expectations of our culture, it also stresses the importance of "remaining true to ourselves." I think I'm going to need to be true to my blouses/dresspants and hope the people can come to accept that. And no, I'm not wearing make up and no earrings either.
My host family gave me this beautiful African necklace that I wear on special occasions. And I can honestly say that I'd love to have a few of the beautiful African garments I've seen. Maybe by the time I arrive home again I'll be all colorful in African garb. Miracles happen.
I'm at the college now and for good. Did I mention this already?
I arrived about 5:00 yesterday (Thursday, 9/17). I spent most of the evening cleaning and unpacking. The room is very nice and I'm happy to be here.
As one who seeks solitude and quiet, it may take me awhile to get used to the hustle and bustle of the kids on campus as they happen about after classes. I didn't have the "dorm experience" in my college years (I commuted) so it is quite boisterous.
When I first arrived in Africa and moved into my home-stay in the village, I was startled by the constant crowing of roosters. (Other Americans commented on this as well.) I'm not sure why American roosters seem to only crow at dawn (or is this a myth?) and African ones around the clock (but especially at three in the morning). As startling as it was at first, after a few weeks, I never noticed them crowing again. I must have become accustomed to their calls.
I'm hoping this will be the case for the college kids as well.
I'm going to close for now and perhaps even logon to Facebook! (I haven't in ages!) I'm so happy to have regular access to a computer now and look forward to more regular communication. I really have felt lost without you all, and Deanna can attest to sitting on the phone with me while I cried for nearly a half hour just because it was so good to speak with family. It's amazing the emotional bonds we carry.
As always, Peace Corps accepts no responsibility for anything I've mentioned here. All error, interpretation, misinterpretation are mine.
Soon, Karen/Molebogeng

What beautiful pictures and what a wonderful surprise to see them there. I think you will come to love the ritual of dress there and develop your own that will be true to you. It will be awesome to see what you come up with. Just smile whenever you can and enjoy your life there and everything else will fall into place. It is what I am trying to practice here and it is working fairly well. I think it would be fun to re-create my image in a place where no one knows me. Here, I would be afraid to do something so drastic as what it sounds like you are seeing, but there, where everyone is a stranger, you can become something you dream up! I say go for it. Find some bright colors and throw them on your earth-tones. Sing, dance, laugh at the dust. I love you and am so glad you are in a safer place and that you might have a salad tonite for dinner. Here is a good oil and vinegar recipe: 3/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh if you have it), 2 cloves garlic crushed (if you dare), salt and pepper to taste, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. Shake it up in a bottle and let it sit overnight in the refrigerator. Do you have refrigeration? Your own kitchen? Be sure to refrigerate your olive oil. It might get rancid in the heat you will have there. Just take it own to thaw about 1/2 hour before you use it. As the legendary chef was so fond of saying; bon apetit! I don't suppose you could post a picture of yourself for us could you? I am hungry for a look at you and that will be all I will have for a while. Take care and congratulations on being sworn in. 2 more years! OMG.ReplyDelete

Moxie Fab Winner
Guess what! This card was one of the challenge winners over at Moxie Fab World. I'm flattered. The other winners obviously took a long time creating each of their cards - I'm not quite sure how my card with rub-ons snuck in, but I'm sure happy about it. Plus Moxie Fab contests have prizes - tee hee! Can't wait to see what lands in my mailbox.
That's my happy news for the day. :) Hope you've got something good goin' on too!

The 1299 Panigale features the finest brakes available - Brembo's M50 Monoblock callipers. Sporting an extremely compact design and machined out of a single alloy block, the M50 callipers offer the ultimate in rigidity and deformation resistance during extreme braking.
The opening and closing of throttle butterflies on the Superquadro is controlled by a fully electronic Ride-by-Wire system. The absence of a mechanical connection between the twistgrip and the throttle bodies allows the engine ECU to regulate power delivery by directly adjusting the throttle; Ride-by-Wire makes it possible to have different power and delivery based on the selected Riding Mode, to alter the level of engine back-torque (EBC), and to control any slipping of the rear wheel (DTC).
The clutch cover, cylinder head covers, and oil pan are all cast in a golden-color magnesium alloy to ensure the engine's strength with the absolute lowest possible weight.
The new Superquadro's bore/stroke ratio of 1.91:1 sets an extreme example of the power-maximizing "oversquare" architecture used in the world's most advanced racing engines. A short-stroke crankshaft and enormous pistons combined with large Desmodromically-actuated valves allow the Superquadro to breathe freely at high rpm, while a 1285cc combustion chamber ensures the ample torque that has made so many enthusiasts fall in love with Ducati's signature L-twin power.
At the end of the exhaust camshaft of each cylinder head is a centrifugal decompressor. On start-up, this device allows the profile of the cam opening lobe to be modified, slightly lifting a valve so that part of the combustion charge can escape the chamber during the engine's compression phase. Once the engine fires, the increase in rpm and associated centrifugal force modify the decompressor, cancelling the valve lift effect to bring the engine to normal operating conditions. By temporarily reducing the compression effect of the piston during start-up, a much smaller and lighter starter motor and battery can be used, contributing significantly to the extreme light weight of the overall engine and motorcycle. This ingenious system further underlines the synergistic strength achieved by engineers and designers in the uncompromising creation of the Superquadro.
Ducati Traction Control (DTC) is an advanced system that monitors and maintains control over slipping of the rear tyre and operates on the basis of eight different levels of intervention, each of which has been programmed to respond to a different tolerance to rear slipping. Each Riding Mode is assigned a preset level of activation, which can then be modified according to the riders' desire. Level 8 corresponds to an activation of the system with the slightest slipping, while Level 1, best used by expert riders and professionals, has a higher tolerance and thus allows a much higher amount of slip before intervening.
The Bosch 9.1 MP ABS equips the 1299 Panigale/S and Panigale R as standard, and is a latest-generation system that performs combined braking with control rear wheel lift to guarantee the shortest braking distances and greatest stability in any conditions. Further, the system interfaces with the Bosch Intertial Control platform, allowing maximum braking even while the motorcycle is leaned over.
The 1299 Panigale and 1299 Panigale S benefit from the experience of Ducati Corse, and adopt a new geometry which uses a 24° steering head angle along with a swingarm pivot point 4mm lower compared to the previous generation of Panigale. This enhances the bike's agility, and provides better rear traction in a wide variety of conditions.
Another detail that gives the Panigale its total racing look is the twin headlamp at front designed to be an integral part of the front air scoops, with integrated LED positioning lights. The double LED lights at rear harmoniously wrap around the air vents in the seat-tail assembly and, when turned on, create an alluring effect of signalling lights enhanced by stop lights. LED technology is also been used for the front and rear turn indicators as well as the number plate light.

Wow, what a great trailer! Great camera work and the whole shebang.
Looks like a fun read. I'm not sure if it's what I'd usually read, but I may have to make an exception for this one...

Publisher's Description:DiskCryptor - is the only truly free solution, provided under GNU General Public License (GPLv3), which offers encryption of all disk partitions, including the system one. The main criterion for an open software, is the availability of its source code under one of the open source licenses. The only analogous to DiskCryptor software, with the open source code, is the TrueCrypt. However, because of the restrictive license under which the TrueCrypt is provided, - the TrueCrypt Collective License, TrueCrypt cannot be classified as a truly free software, as it places limits for developers, on the use and modification of its source code. The other similar in function to DiskCryptor programs, are fully proprietary ones, which makes them unacceptable to use for protection of a confidential data.
Originally, DiskCryptor was conceived as a replacement for DriveCrypt Plus Pack and PGP Whole Disk Encryption (WDE), now however, the aim of the development of the project, is the creation of the best in its category, software. Moreover, in the future, considerable effort will be devoted to creation of a detailed documentation, explaining the internal mechanics of the program, which would be the best confirmation and demonstration of its security.

The Maitland flood of 1955 is one of the biggest catastrophes ever to hit the Hunter Region. For those who are too young to remember, this slice of history can now be experienced on smartphones.
- Print page

In an effort to educate the younger generation about the reality and danger of a severe flood, a new app has been developed to allow self-guided tours of the city's courthouse precinct.
It was one of the areas hardest hit during the 1955 flood, as you can see in these historic photos.
The app was launched this week and historian and narrator, Peter Bogan, told 1233's Carol Duncan it includes dozens of photographs as well as audio and text.
It will enable users to take a leisurely walk of just over a kilometre around the courthouse precinct, while seeing and hearing just what things were like when the powerful floodwaters surged through.
The idea, which took six months to develop, came from the Hunter-Central Rivers Catchment Management Authority.
The app, called Flood Walk, uses information from Peter's guided tours.
The aerial photograph of Maitland courthouse is of particular interest to Peter.
He explains it was taken after the break in the river's embankment, but before houses were washed away.
Peter says you can see the force of the water as it streams across the front of the courthouse and across High St.
The two-storey house on the right of the photo was on the eastern corner of Denman St and was later washed away.
A man and eight elderly women, aged up to 80, narrowly escaped death by climbing from their balcony and scrambling across the awning of Peter's father's workshop next door.
The 1955 Maitland flood destroyed thousands of homes and claimed 11 lives, while around 2400 people were rescued by emergency crews.

Daisies Galore!
Look at this one daisy bush--I took this picture this morning of the bush right by my front steps. This started off as a one gallon plant four years ago and look at it now! HUGE!! Love it!
I have two lavender plants right behind that big daisy plant and the lavender just is starting to bloom. Mmmm, soon the area by my front door will smell so nice!
These are my Endless Summer Hydrangeas (I think I have five of them) in the backyard along the side of the house. Yesterday afternoon I pried my two year old away from the water table long enough to get him to stand next to the flowers--look, the hydrangeas are taller than he is!!
When we moved into this house, the previous owners had planted five or six coniferous trees along the side of the house. Those were such a pain to rip out, but they didn't look good, plus it wasn't a very smart spot to plant trees--they were growing into the side of the house and into the roofline up above. However, when I planted these hydrangeas, I didn't realize they would get quite this big! Ooops!
Here is an updated view of my vegetable garden. It has grown so much since the end of May...but we still haven't harvested *anything*!! Aaaaahhh!! Actually, I think the romaine might be ready to harvest, but that is it!
My tomato plants are big and leafy, but the Roma tomatoes (on the left) have no tomatoes and the Early Girl plants on the right are HUGE and have some green tomatoes--but the little tomatoes haven't grown at all in weeks. Of course it doesn't help that the little tomatoes now are being shade by the huge plants. Why did the tomatoes have to grow on the *back* side of the plants!
Granted, we have had a cold wet spring and early summer and I did plant everything a bit late for this area...but the weather has been gorgeous for awhile now and my little garden gets plenty of water. I want to harvest my garden!! Anyone have any advice?
Check out Lara at The Lazy Organizer for more "Talk About Tuesday"--she's talking about organizing this week.

I love the daisies. Wow. About my pumpkin patch, I have no idea what made them grow besides the Lord. We have had a lot of rain and very humid, hot weather. That is probably it. I'm surprised also, since this is my first garden.

Your garden looks so good, it makes me wish I would have done more with ours this year. I love your daisies, I have some purple ones, but they don't bloom untill the end of the summer.. My favorite is your hydrangeas, I would love to plant some of those, they are so pretty.

Your daisies are beautiful and the hydrangeas are to die for. I have wanted to plant them but I'm not really sure if they are hard or not to grow. I know depending on your soil they will be different colors. Are they hard to grow?
