Google Image Search Adds Infinite Scrolling and Shows Less Clutter
Google says that the new layout is more dense, you can get up to 1,000 images when you scroll and you can scroll using keyboard shortcuts like Page Down and Page Up. Google still shows page numbers "so you don't lose track of where you are".
Another new feature is image search ads that will replace the text ads that are displayed at the moment in Google Image Search. "This ad format combines an image with text, offering richer, more relevant advertising on Google Images search results pages."
It's interesting to see that Google reintroduces two features previously tested without success: image ads and a simplified interface that hides useful information about images. Infinite scrolling was one of the distinctive features of Bing Image Search and Windows Live Image Search.
Google Image Search's new interface makes it easier to scroll through results, but I don't think a regular user will look at hundreds of images. Google's goal is to find relevant results, so showing too many images is overwhelming and a lot of the images aren't useful. Hiding information about the image's size, the domain that includes the image and no longer showing a snippet from the page is a purely aesthetic decision. Sometimes it's useful to know if an image is large, if it's included by a site you trust and even the filename could offer relevant information. Google offers a "show sizes" option in the sidebar, but it's not enough.
Old interface:
New interface:
If you don't see the new interface yet, try a different browser. Google says that only 10% of the users can see the new UI and it will be available for everyone in the coming days.

Now i have to hover on every image to know about thats info its annoying me to do that. Am sorry mates i dint like new google image search...

Oh, hell! I just got this update and I like it not. It looks very disorganized when viewing images of different sizes, and I'm noticing that scrolling is as smooth as in Bing Images.

I just noticed something in the new Google Images Search that seems pointless: There's a page counter on top of the images as you scroll. What's the point of that??
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJuly 20, 2010 at 4:59 PM
I want to be able to see the source website below the images in a single glance, without scrolling over each image one at a time!!
Being able to see the source websites helps me quickly identify and avoid websites that I DON'T want to visit...
I hate the new layout. HATE IT!!! - AnonymousJuly 20, 2010 at 5:40 PM
I can't stand this new google images. I need to see size, title, dates of works. Quickly! The old format was perfect. I can't find anything now.
ReplyDelete For what it's worth Bing offers 4 page layouts. You can find them near the top of the page directly below the page totals. One option, the one on the far RIGHT allows you to see basic image info WITHOUT having to hover. It's already there. You only need to hover to find similar images and "different sizes."
Different sizes allows you to find the image you've selected in a variety of resolutions. Of course, the number depends on how many are on the web. To access:
Run an image search. Here's one for Boeing 747.
Now, select an image, hover over it, and look for the different sizes link. Select it.
Then, this page will appear,
with a list of resolutions, file size, and file type.
Of course, this is what Bing uses for their size modifier. This version gives you a bit more info a control.- AnonymousJuly 20, 2010 at 6:57 PM
I can see in Google's point of view, all the bandwidth it takes and by the new image search layout, it cuts down on bandwidth. But personally, I like the old layout better. I will probably use http://www.picsearch.com to search for images now. They display their images like Google use too.

I'm sorry to say that i love the old interface.
It's more simple. and i can see the source, size at single action.
I agree with cebryan01, being able to see the source of image can help us to identify which site we want to visit.
I think it's better if you can provide option to choose which interface we want to use if we do image searching - AnonymousJuly 21, 2010 at 2:43 AM

I don't mind the images all on one continuous page, but I miss the website info at the bottom of each image. That's the thing I hated about Bing and why I continued using Google instead of switching over to Bing. I really hope Google puts the image info back under the images.

Use google for your country [ex: google.co.id instead of google.com] if you miss old interface :D
ReplyDelete I like the old one better; I think if they worked on it a little bit better then it would cool. Like if it had old interface with the infinite scrolling, then that would be a win win situation. This interface is the reason I don't use Bing or Ask.com. Now I won't be using Google. Yahoo it is.

This is HORRIBLE. How can anyone think this is a good idea? Have you even thought about people who don't have access to broadband internet (such as those on dial-up) or those who have a monthly allowance of only 250 MB, 2 GB, or 5 GB with their internet service provider?
I have mobile broadband and waiting on 1000 images to load will KILL my bandwidth allowance, especially if I want to do multiple searches for several different subjects on a daily basis. It is just making the image search so unbearable that I've already gone to Yahoo! Why did they ruin what was simplistic and more functional? Have you ever heard the saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it?" THIS APPLIES HERE. The best images search on the web has been ruined in a futile attempt to "keep up with the Joneses."
There needs to be an option to PERMANENTLY switch back to the old layout or they need to just ditch this altogether.
Less IS more and simplicity is better. Give us back the old version of Google Images! - AnonymousJuly 22, 2010 at 5:46 PM

why do they have to copy Bing?

Really annoying redesign. One of the reasons I use(d) Google image search was exactly, that you instantly could see the info and the adress. Now you have to waste time pointing the mouse over the pictures, and wait for the pop-up.
Buzz, Wave and then the horrible redesign of the US edition of Google News, at least you are consistent. Can't wait for you to improve Gmail. - AnonymousJuly 23, 2010 at 2:48 AM
I am extremely disappointed that Google decided to update something that was perfectly fine the way it was. I liked having the information available to me without needing to "scroll over" every since image. Having different sized images stuck together like that to make space more "efficient" is just an eye-sore and far from the "aesthetic" look they were going for. Honestly, this appears to be a rushed compilation of what other search engines like Bing! was doing. Correct me if I'm wrong but... wasn't Google the ~leading search engine with the old interface? That should tell them right there that it's unnecessary to switch things up and try to keep it current-- there was nothing to fix in this situation.
I hate the continuous scrolling the most; way too many images are thrust into my face and overwhelming the senses. It simply looks ~ugly and mashed together with a bunch of different sized icons-- at the very least, things should have been nice and uniform. As others have said, I miss the information that was automatically displayed before I chose a picture: the sizes, the source, the names. Everything. Now users are at potential risk to download viruses if they click the wrong pictures because the damn link wasn't there to warn them.
Thankfully, Google hasn't lost it's mind completely-- they ~still give users the option to use the old version ( and once they compute the massive numbers I'm sure will continue using their old format, it may convince them to ditch this "new innovative idea"! ). The downside is that, with every return visit, a person must scroll to the very bottom ( and on a bloody "limitless" scroll, it can take a while ) to switch it back over. Please see the reason in adding this feature to the top, at least.
I don't want to be forced into this change when it's not a change for the better, in my opinion. It's just something a group of people thought might be clever and "new", like Bing! and they completely missed the mark. This layout is not Google, and it will never be Google. I'm concerned that Google will eventually force it's users to this new format no matter how we prefer; I'm afraid they may get rid of the "opt to old version" soon, once they feel people have accepted this change. I pray this doesn't happen. Up until now, Google had been the most convenient and user-friendly search engine I ever had the pleasure to use. And now?
The only thing keeping me from ditching Google is that ( albeit inconveniently placed! ) option to continue on in it's former format. If that goes, I go. - AnonymousJuly 23, 2010 at 2:49 AM

This is beyond annoying to me. I would like to opt out of this new approach altogether.
Yes, I've seen at the bottom of the page that you can go back to the classic search style, however, when you decide to look at an image, the new style prevails; instead of a frame at the top wherein you can click the image of interest, I'm forced to see a blowup of the image superimposed over the page it comes from, and if I try to save it, it shows as url.htm.
Google, it's time to offer your users the choice of the classic search style in its entirety again... - AnonymousJuly 23, 2010 at 5:57 PM
I totally hate this new image search. I need to see the source website and the size information at a glance BEFORE I hover or the image or click on it.
And I *HATE* the completely pointless superimposed image that comes up when you click on an image. What the heck purpose does that serve other than to annoy? It's like a pop-up ad that I need to close in order to continue. It's total crap.

Yeah, I gotta say this change is terrible. I was just on the verge of switching over to Bing where you can at least alter the view to include the image size and source link. Someone here mentioned that you can change it back to the old style with a button on the bottom. Not a great place to put it if you don't want to lose viwers.
I look for images as a way to find certain websites. The links are kinda important for that. I don't want to return to a website I have already been to and eliminated as useful.
The size also matters, especially for maps and military photos.
At the very least the button should be on top. If this isn't changed it is going to get annoying rather quickly and Bing is slightly better in that regard. I will switch to Bing. - AnonymousJuly 24, 2010 at 12:23 AM
Can anyone suggest a decent alternative search engine? Something like the way google USED to be?
I like minimal, fast, and simple. - AnonymousJuly 24, 2010 at 2:46 AM
I don't like this trend in user interface design where at the war cry of "Make it simple!" all functionality is casted aside.
Dear Google, simple does not equal better, a bowling ball is more simple than a hammer, but it doesn't mean that it's better for nailing things, is it?
In any case I'm baffled why would they copy Bing, they are (well, were) different approaches at image searching that each attracted people with their unique styles. Now, seen that Google image search is the most used search engine for this, why would they imitate a less popular system which would almost certainly alienate a large percentage of their users?
Finally, if people are so averse at clicking on a Next button, why not just add the option, to the previous version, of switching between individual pages or a continuous one? while still keeping the clean and informative layout as before. - jasperJuly 24, 2010 at 5:19 AM
What the frak were they thinking? They must have rocks for brains for replacing the good old interface. And trust me when I say, I'm not a person to hold onto old things, I move on fast, but the new image search made me laugh and then pissed me off big time.
Feels like diving into the middle of the ocean to find clams instead of looking on the seashore.
I really hope they change it back, clicking 'Switch to basic' at the end of a huge-ass line of pictures every time i do a google search is a fucking slap on the face.
Not to mention that even if you do click to basic, the pictures still open in that shitty new interface. - AnonymousJuly 24, 2010 at 8:16 AM
once you get past the horror that is the new image page, you can scroll down to the bottom of the page (you eventually do get to the bottom). there's a feedback link there.
if you dislike what they've done, please give them some direct feedback. i know i did...
my opinion:
missing image details - bad
new jumbled layout - bad
hover over popup - bad
infinite scrolling - bad
click image, another popup!!?? - bad
Google has reverted functionality when enough people have communicated to them that is was a bad change.
This seems to be a bad change...
Communicate it to them directly...

goooogle....give back the old interface as soon. Or we will move to your competitor and set it as our new default image search engine.
I think bing is good choice to move, they provide option to choose interface at the top It seems that Google is failing to learn from history.
The changes they've been implementing (to the frontpage, the news page and now image search) are the web equivalent of New Coke - They've taken a product that had a loyal following, and are deliberately making it taste like their competitor's product.
The end result will satisfy nobody, except their competitor, who is likely to be having a loud, long laugh at their expense.- AnonymousJuly 26, 2010 at 10:38 AM
I absolutely hate the new interface, why change what was undoubtedly the best and easiest to use search engine?
At least give us the option to use the classic versions of News and Images. This new interface is simply useless, hiding information is a very bad idea. One thing I want to point out is that the old "grid" was structured and "fixed" and you could "scan" the page with your eyes at "fixed pace". Now you have images that are smaller and larger and everything looks cluttered and messy.

Not Happy. I hate the new google image search, before i just click on image and click again and it opens in a normal window, now it's a mess, to copy an address of the image i have to go into right clicking on the image and search for "copy image address" in a long list instead of just clicking on the address line like before and pressing CTRL C I hate it I hate it I hate it!!!
ReplyDeleteI DESPISE (EMPHASIS!) their new style! I hate the flashy graphics (even though I normally love that stuff), and I liked viewing information before I saw the picture!

I much rather have gewgle change things back to the way they were, I just about had enough of their arrogance, thinking people will use their tools no matter what crappy changes they make. Gewgle used to be Micro$oft's opposite, now they almost act the same, maybe M$ has taken over secretly?? LOL!

Well I use to have a positive experience, not anymore.
Normally I'm not one to leave feedback but after reviewing the latest Google image search update, I had to.
One word. Awful. I have cable at 1000TB a second and it takes forever to download what previously took seconds. Google should give users the option to revert to the old. It was clear, fast and to the point.
Why do we continuously blur the lines between technology advancements and practicality? Is being "cool" worth the frustration? Or would you not think making software advancements should be in par with what internet speeds are currently on offer?
This latest update would be enough for me to look elsewhere as there's no chance I'm going to be waiting on technology, when all I want is to be in and out in seconds.
idiots!!! Looks like gewgle has switched back to the basic version, at least I get the familiar image overview when searching, and images no longer open in some popup window, I don't even have to click any 'switch to basic' button ;o) Now gewgle needs to fix some of the other issues too; get rid of the annoying left hand pane options in search results and speed up loading/scrolling/zooming etc. of maps!!

New layout is great BUT 23 pages of images??? One page at a time is enough, thank you. Let the user decide if they want to explore further images...I found upto page 4 had loaded, but there were also images on pages 16 etc when I scrolled down to see if I could set number of pages to display at a time. Too costly in terms of bandwidth....old version is far better in that respect.
ReplyDelete I am in agreement with those who find the new images search format cumbersome and non-intuitive. I can see Google may want change, but in this case the thinking hasn't been thorough enough.
When I search for an image, or for a text page for that matter, I usually come across what I am looking for within the first two pages or so in the old system. I can also jump to much later pages if I'm just researching by random. The new system offers me far too many images at the cost of my download quota. Here in Australia we still have slow download and high prices for download.
I find the image enlargement redundant. I either want to skip past it, because I can see it isn't what I want, or go to the web page and don't need an enlargement. I also find it frustrating that if I am resting my mouse, while I look at the images offered in overview, I can trigger an unwanted image into the main view and have to act to make it slide back into place.
When I go to the web-page I prefer the page below and Google's info above. I don't have to close the top frame to see the page and I don't have to close an enlarged picture forced upon me before I can continue to view the page. This feature definitely needs rethinking.
It's my view not offering a permanent return to the old style for those who prefer it, even if I was a new style fan, contemptuous of the users, us. Every good software, or innovation, should provide a good removal tool, or in this case, a permanent reversion tool.
What I would like to know is if Google will pay any attention to all these negative comments and come up with both a restoration option, and a new hybrid style that makes everyone happy. Feedback has always seemed a hit and miss affair in the past.
I would like to stay with Google as my search engine, but I will now look at the others in case there is no progress on this matter.
PS for those making negative remarks about those of a different opinion, get over it; that's what makes for a vibrant Internet, difference.- AnonymousAugust 7, 2010 at 5:23 AM
AND REVERT GOOGLE IMAGE TO OLD STYLE AS SOON !%$%! At first glance it seems to be better and more user friendly if you have high speed internet access...
It was too friendly for me. I completely neglected to check the file sources, which caused me to accidentally download a virus. Luckily I was quick enough to realize what was happening and saved my computer, but I know that hundreds of users will go through the same thing. It allows you to forget that you aren't safe, even when you are looking at images of baby animals.

I hate this new image search with the intensity of a thousand suns. It is made for soccer-mom-types who have no requirements for an image beyond a quick visual reference and disrupts my workflow like you couldn't imagine. I would even prefer to have the old layout but be forced to have it stuck on displaying 1000 results at a time than have this new layout show me 20 results. The old image search would STILL probably be faster displaying that many. Who doesn't own a scroll mouse nowadays anyway? I have a pretty fast PC but using the new image search makes me feel like I'm using a 386 with a 14.4 modem again. I haven't used anything except google.com as my default home page for almost 10 years, but this horrible abomination is making me look elsewhere. Bad move, Google.

This new layout is horrible. It takes forever to scroll through the pictures. It skips and thinks about every movement because it's constantly trying to load new pics, rather than separating them to different pages. Takes forever to search images...I don't understand this change. Did anyone test it first?
ReplyDelete It mas much simpler before and it did the trick, why fix it if it wasn't broken? I hate to scroll down to look for the pictures, at times it freezes my Firefox. And wassup with clicking on the picture just to have to load the entire website it comes from? I wish It just loaded the picture im interested in!

I have changed to Yahoo when searching for images. Why fix something thats not broken.

Who paid you to write this ad for Google? Jesus, the new image search sucks so bad that I've had to switch serch providers. Forcing the 'new and improved' waste of time, money and bandwidth on us without the option to keep the old, USEFUL search is a slap in the balls.

Google's image search= 'new and improved' waste of time. That's the best way to describe it.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousSeptember 26, 2010 at 8:46 PM
Old interface was way better. No image sizes or info unless you hover sucks! Even if you switch to basic mode it still opens the image over the full website in the background. The problem I have with this is that it opens your machine up to viruses and popups...and no, not just searching for porn! Hahaha It also opens the images up for re-linking to more un-secure sites.......SUCKS SUCKS SUX SUX SUX!!!

I lost infinite scrolling less than one week ago. How do I get it back? I use Safari.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousMay 18, 2011 at 12:06 AM
I have tried a few of these ripper sites to gather images off of google more easily. the one i use most is http://www.googleimageripper.com/ i simply am trying to access images though Google in mass without having to click through the thumbnails..
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJuly 3, 2011 at 3:11 AM
You think you hate the new image search with infinite scrolling?? Try using Google image search on your phone! It's almost impossible to switch to the basic view bc the page keeps sending you back to the top. What a pain!
ReplyDelete - AnonymousSeptember 10, 2011 at 7:17 AM
It's NOT "infinite" it usually quits at page 55, 60, 70 etc. even though you've already had to click the annoying "Show More Results" (shouldn't have to click this - how many PhDs at google does it take to understand USABILITY) and even though the initial search result says 5,432,886 etc "results" it still quits at page 70, 75 etc. What an asinine "implementation" there is too much money at google.
ReplyDelete I have a problem:
On my laptop, I used to be able to see the google search images enlarged if I passed the cursor over them, just like in my netbook.
However, about a week ago, whenever I did this on my laptop, I have to click on the google search images to see them enlarged (it appears just below the line of the photo you are actually clicking on).
The thing is that on my laptop nothing has changed regarding this - just pass the cursor and the images enlarges automatically - (which I like and prefer) - and I also use google search.
Can anyone please explain the mystery to me? Is there a way to set the configuration of google search images to see it one way or another?RepliesGoogle Image Search has a new interface and you can't go back to the previous one.

There's No Business Quite Like a Family Business
The simple fact is that family businesses are different. After all, a family business means working with family and all the good and bad that comes with it.
While an estimated 80% to 90% of all businesses are family owned, relatively few are properly planning for what happens when it comes time to sell. According to one study, a whopping 72% of family businesses lack a developed succession plan which is, of course, a recipe for confusion and potentially disaster. Additionally, there are many complicating factors, for example, studies indicate that 40% to 60% of owners of family businesses want the business to remain in the family, but only 40% of businesses are passed to a second generation and a mere 10% are passed down to a third generation.
Let's turn our attention to a few of the key points that family business owners should consider when selling a business.
- Confidentiality should be placed at the top of your "to do" list. When it comes to selling a family business, it is vital that confidential is strictly observed.
- Remember that it may be necessary to lower your asking price if maintaining the jobs of family members is a key concern for you.
- Family members who stay on after the sale of the business must realize that they will no longer be in charge. In other words, after the sale of the business the power dynamic will be radically different, meaning that family members will now have to answer to new management, outside investors and an outside board of directors.
- Family members will want to appoint a single family member to speak for them in the negotiation process. A failure to appoint a family member could lead to confusion, poor decision making and ultimately the destruction of deals.
- When hiring a team to help you with selling your business, it is critical that your lawyer, accountant and business broker are all experienced and proven.
- Don't hold meetings with potential buyers on-site.
- Every family member, regardless of whether they are an employee or an investor, must be in agreement regarding the sale of the company. Again, one of your primary goals is to avoid confusion.
- Family employees and family investors must be in agreement regarding the sale price or there could be problems.
Working with an experienced business broker is a savvy move, especially when it comes to selling a family business. Business brokers know what it takes to make deals happen. Being able to point to a business brokers' past success will help reduce family member resistance to adopting the strategies necessary to successfully sell a business.

Tuckpointing Mount Prospect IL Residential and Commercial Properties
More of our videos are available at: tuckpointing Mount Prospect IL
Before I lay out the entire procedure of tuckpointing Mount Prospect IL properties (or rather re-pointing), I'd like to explain to you what this word, which we often improperly use, exactly means. I will give you definitions of 3 words that many of us interchangeably use under the impression that they describe the same thing: "tuckpointing" "pointing" and "re-pointing".
- Tuckpointing (or tuck pointing) is a process in which two different colors of mortar (usually contrasting / one matching the brick color) are used to create an illusion that a fine joint has been formed between the bricks. Basically, that brick color matching mortar fills the joint and the contrasting mortar (thinner line) is added on top. This is a technique requiring the most skilled tradesman.
- Pointing refers to an external / visible part of a mortar joint; it is the mortar line you see between the bricks, stones, blocks, etc.
- Re-pointing is a process of removing old, deteriorating mortar from between the bricks, stones, or blocks, and replacing it with new mortar mix.
Based on these 3 definitions, I can assure you that most of our tuckpointing Mount Prospect IL area clients are asking for re-pointing, yet call it tuckpointing. With that settled, let's proceed to explaining the common, masonry wall re-pointing process.
There are 3 major components of this procedure along with some smaller, still important, ones.
1. Tuckpointing Mount Prospect IL – Old Mortar Removal
The cutting out of old and / or deteriorating joints in brick, block, and stone masonry wall can be executed using plugging or joint chisels, comb hammers, and dogging tools dedicated for this purpose.
They are designed in such a way that using them should prevent chipping the wall component edges and binding inside the joint.
A much easier and faster method of raking out this old mortar is by using an angle grinder with a 5" / 6mm mortar raking blade. Although we use it with a vacuum to maximize dust control, there are neighborhoods where only hand (not power) tools can be utilized.
It is obvious on many of the tuckpointed Mount Prospect IL buildings that this first, extremely important re-pointing step has been skipped entirely or the old mortar, instead of being removed, was only scratched to provide some grip for the new mortar.
If this was your choice and were aware of the consequences (like newly applied mortar failing sooner), you have actually wasted your investment, even if it initially saved you money.
2. Tuckpointing Mount Prospect IL – Cleanup
The next step is removing any remaining debris and dust from the masonry surfaces and wetting them to ensure maximum hold for the new mortar. All that can be easily achieved by power washing the surfaces with plain water.
3. Tuckpointing Mount Prospect IL – New Mortar Application
The third step, applying new mortar, can be described as a slow, meticulous effort that requires special skills and a lot of patience. We always apply mortar manually using a few special hand tools: a pointing trowel, a tray, and a slasher, aka mortar jointer.
Typically the joints are filled flush with the wall surface and then, using the mortar joiner, slightly depressed and finally brushed clean.
There you go: a basic blueprint of the repointing procedure in Mount Prospect IL.

As the presidential race zeroes in on Ohio, and the auto industry gets renewed focus in the all-important swing state, Mitt Romney's campaign is touting the backing of former Chrysler CEO Lee Iacocca and the company's former president, Hal Sperlich.
"In our opinion, Mitt Romney is the leader we need to help turn our economy around and ensure that the American auto industry is once again a dominant force in the world," Iacocca and Sperlich write on Romney's website.
Iacocca, 88, has been retired from Chrysler for two decades, and Sperlich, 82, even longer. But the support — especially of Iacocca, who was once the face of the U.S. auto industry — could be important.
In their testimonial on the Romney site, the men note that Romney's father ran American Motors and say: "Mitt Romney is most certainly a car guy."
The men do not mention the 2009 U.S. auto bailout of Chrysler and General Motors, which President Obama orchestrated and Romney opposed.
Chrysler got another bailout in 1980 — when Iacocca and Sperlich ran the company. But then, Congress made Chrysler get private financing for $1.5 billion; the government then acted as loan co-signer. It also required that the company get $2 billion in concessions and cost savings.
That 1980 model is essentially what Romney called for in lieu of the most recent bailout, though in 2009, many argue that there was no private financing available.
The endorsement of Iacocca and Sperlich comes as campaign ads from the Romney campaign are suggesting that General Motors and Chrysler are adding jobs in China at the expense of the jobs in the United States. The Obama campaign has loudly criticized the ads as inaccurate.
And GM spokesman Greg Martin said in an email Wednesday: "We've clearly entered some parallel universe during these last few days. No amount of campaign politics at its cynical worst will diminish our record of creating jobs in the US and repatriating profits back to this country."
General Motors has plans to expand in China, but economics as well as Chinese rules make it essential for an automaker who wants to sell cars in China to build them there. And Chrysler's announcement that it would begin production in China has been seen as a sign of the continued health of the company. Both companies rushed to say that they are not moving U.S. jobs to China.
It's important to note how important the auto industry is to the economy of Ohio. One out of eight adults in the state works in the industry. And much of the talk during the campaign has been about the "American" car companies and Chinese trade.
Most cars produced in Ohio are from Japanese brands. Next week, Honda will celebrate its 30th anniversary of making cars in the United States. In Marysville, Ohio, to be exact.

Honest and simple.
ALTRU Chair is what it is meant to be, honest and simple.
I wanted to go back to the classic language of Japanese traditional craftsmanship wiliest being a representation of modernity and function of minimalist selflessness.
ALTRU's language emphasizes first being a seat with no metal parts entirely pressure fastened joints along with a extra lap support undercarriage to survive decades of usage. Embracing the pure nature of the wood I highlighted continuity and ubiquity within the chairs profile. Accentuating a honest symmetry and rhythm from the minimal arch formed within the chair legs. While the construction maintains japanese mortise tenon wedge joints within the seat from the legs, showing the wedges as a homage to the craftsmanship from decades ago, it stays true to purpose.

Probably one of the most popular desserts in the culinary world. The crème brulée is a symphony of cold, creamy custard and a hard, hot layer of burned sugar. The contrasts titillate the tongue and if prepared correctly, brings the hardest anti-dessertists to their knees. No surprise therefore, that you will find several variations of this dessert all across Europe.
However, there is only one true crème brulée and because this dessert needs to be prepared with great care, many people shy away from making it at home. Instead they seem to occasionally enjoy it only when they visit restaurants - but even that is not a guarantee that you'll be getting the perfect crème brulée.
So for this session of Cooking School I thought I could encourage those, who hide behind their aprons when they hear "make Crème brulée", but innerly are craving large spoonfuls of smooth creaminess and sweet caramel. One does not have to wait till they are out eating in a fine restaurant, one can really enjoy this dessert at home too. Homemade!
My little twist is adding a handful of mixed berries to it, an irresistible little trick I picked up when I visited Kelly's version. The berries I used were homegrown from my mother-in-law's garden. She has a huge patch where she grows every kind of berry I can imagine - from strawberries to gooseberries, raspberries to black currents and many other interesting sweet and fruity berries.
I also decided to enter the loveliness in cream and caramel to this month's Sugar High Friday hosted by the lovely Johanna. She chose a great and very interesting theme - going local. The real idea behind this was actually to find a local dessert - however, I do hope Johanna will accept my compromise - I stayed on the continent and used local ingredients. There are many interesting German sweets and desserts but nothing that I could say I have a real passion about.
With the Crème brulée it is a different story. I have a passionate love affair with this dessert, often finding it irresistible to pass up whenever I see it on a menu or when entertaining.
Crème brulée in English means "burned cream" and there are certain disagreements about the true origins of it. Whether the origins are in France or England or Spain (the Crema Catalana), it is unclear. The very first recipes for crème brulée date back from the seventeenth century taken from a French cookbook that was written by François Massialot, who was born in Limoges in 1660. Massialot was a cook who was hired by dukes and duchesses, princes and princesses to prepare menus for special occasions. He prepared meals for Monsieur Philippe, duke of Orleans, brother of Louis the fourteenth, Madame princess Liselotte, wife of Monsieur, the Dauphin, and several dukes and marquesses.
To simply describe the crème brulée one could say it is a custard, which is cooked and cooled. A small amount of sugar is sprinkled on the top of the cooled custard and the sugar is caramelized using a small torch or beneath a broiler. A classic custard acquires its' delicate flavor from the simple mixture of cream and eggs. A traditional crème brulée will not use any additional flavorings such as vanilla, liqueur or fruit.
The tricky part of this dish is the thickening of the sauce with raw egg yolks and the burning of the sugar. However, once you have conquered these issues you are rewarded in the most exquisite way.
So, let's get down to making a fruity and creamy crème brulée.
Shake it, stir it or blend it - let's get this party rocking with your tempting drink creations. Liquid Dreams is all about mixing up some of the most delicious drinks and bringing it to this months mingle.
Deadline: September 10th!
For the custard
500g heavy cream
1 vanilla bean - insides scraped out
5 egg yolks
60g fine sugar
200g mixed berries of your choice
For the caramel layer
50g fine brown sugar
Pre-heat the oven to 150 degrees C. In 6 oven-proof ramekin dishes (1/8 liter content) place a few berries on the bottom. Place these individual ramekins in a larger, tall-sided oven proof dish. Set aside.
Pour the cream in a pot and scrape the vanilla bean out into the cream. Put the pod into the pot and gently bring the vanilla cream mixture to a boil over a low heat. Whisk frequently. When the cream starts to steam, remove from the heat.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well blended.
Now comes the first tricky part. Adding the hot cream to the egg mixture without curdling them. The best way to do this is to temper the eggs. This simply means, you slowly bring the temperature of the eggs to just about the same temperature of the cream by adding the cream in small portions.
I use a ladle and pour some cream (about 1/2 a ladle-full) into the egg yolks while whisking vigorously. Repeat this process until the eggs have warmed through. This process slowly heats the yolks, reducing the chance of curdling them.
Once this is done, start stirring the cream, and steadily pour the yolks into the cream while stirring continuously. I recommend using a silicon spatula for this as you do not want to actually whisk the cream, bringing too many air bubbles to the mixture. This will cause the custard to be bubbly.
Before I distribute the custard into the individual ramekin dishes I sieve it to make the liquid as fine as possible. It also removes a lot of the access air. Another way to release the air would be by tapping the bowl on the counter-top a few times.
Equally divide the mixture in the individual ramekins. Chill the mixture overnight. This is an extra step, which you can skip if you are pressed for time. But I would recommend it as it gives best results.
Pour simmering water into the tall-sided oven-proof dish about halfway up the sides of the individual ramekins.
Bake the custard for about 35 to 45 minutes. Take out and allow to cool at room temperature, then place in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours.
Just before serving, sprinkle the top of each serving with a thin, even layer of brown sugar.
Now comes tricky part two: You have a couple of options of how to burn or caramelize the sugar. Either you do it under the built-in grill of an electric oven or you use a food torch.
If you are using the food torch, heat the sugar with the flame until it begins to brown. Stop when it reaches a golden color. It should not get too dark.
If you are using the oven grill, broil for 20 to 30 seconds within at least an inch of heating element.
The dis-advantage of burning the sugar under a grill is the custard heats up too. The crème brulée is best when the custard is still at room temperature or cold. This can be best achieved with the food torch, which caramelizes the sugar quickly without heating the cream.
Serve the crème brulée immediately. If you do not, the caramelized sugar will turn soft as it absorbs moisture from the crème underneath. The most appealing part of the recipe is the contrast between the crisp, hard layer of sugar and the soft creamy custard.
Tips and tricks:
- To test if the custard is done, simply and carefully reach in the oven and gently shake using tongs or an oven mitt. It's perfect when the edges are set but the rest of the custard wobble. Cooking the custards past this point will lead to a harder, pastier consistency.
- Despite the name, the sugar on top does not have to be actually burned. Only cook it to a golden color. Any darker and it will taste bitter.
- The finer the sugar the better the results of the caramel. Regular granulated sugar works well. Brown sugar makes a tasty crust. Do not use coarse sugar - it requires too much time to caramelize and makes too thick a crust. (I used rather coarse brown sugar which melted well but was slightly grainy)
- Use a jug, measuring jug or any container with a spout to pour the simmering water into the baking pan - it's easier to pour and less likely to splash into the custards.
- As the custards cook make sure the tops are far from the heat source. This will prevent them from overcooking or turning brown. In an electric oven with a top-heating element, place a sheet pan on the top rack to protect the custards from direct heat.
- If you are using the grill to brown the sugar, watch the ramekins carefully. Avoid burning the sugar and take out as soon as the sugar reaches the golden color.
About Cooking School
I started the Cooking School sessions last year with the purpose to cook popular and well known dishes from around the world. Soon I realized that so many of you were encouraged to try these at your own homes too and so it became a regular, almost monthly session here on WFLH. I wish to make this session more interactive with my readers, where your ideas, thoughts, tips and tricks in the comment section of the posts will help beginners learn the process and give experienced cooks more ideas. The recipe does not have to end with my post - if you have recipes of your own share them in the comments.
The index on the right sidebar under the section "Cooking School" will provide you with many great recipes and ideas for popular dishes. Hope you enjoy them.
I love taking my spoon and dipping it into my ramekin. The crack of the caramel releases the wonderful aromas of vanilla and berries found inside the cream. A dessert that offers an experience for all of your senses. The crunchy caramel against the smooth cream and the tart soft berries is incredible. A traditional crème brulée is a lovely experience but with the addition of the berries, we found it exciting to taste the different berries, each time surprised by a new flavor.

I am glad to announce the winner for my little teaser in my earlier post. I admit it was not an easy one and I was beginning to think that no one will get it. But Neha of The Literate and Liberal Foodie guessed it right. Congratulations Neha! Now all you need to do is pick out any one picture you'd like and send me an email with the name of the picture! It'll be heading towards California soon afterwards.

President Obama acted within his legal authority to appoint Richard Cordray to lead the National Consumer Protection Bureau last week, during a period when the Senate was conducting "pro forma" holiday sessions, according to a memo released this morning by a key unit of the Justice Department.
The president's bold move set off waves of criticism from Republican lawmakers, many of whom had demanded to know whether the White House made the appointment without consulting the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, a critical arbiter of the constitution for the executive branch.
The President shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session
But in an Office of Legal Counsel memo dated Jan. 6 and released earlier today, Assistant Attorney General Virginia A. Seitz writes that a survey of the U.S. Constitution and precedent support the idea that the Senate's short pro forma sessions do not interrupt a true recess. So, "the president therefore has discretion to conclude the Senate is unavailable to perform its advise-and-consent function and to exercise his power to make recess appointments."
The Recess Appointments Clause of the Constitution gives the president the power to fill vacancies during Senate breaks — but the fighting over the Cordray appointment boils down to the meaning of the word "recess" — and whether the minute-long sessions led by a single senator, often during the holidays, count as real work periods under the meaning of the law. The U.S. Supreme Court has never addressed the issue directly but Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Tribe told NPR last week that he expected possible litigation by businesses who are regulated by Cordray could make its way all the way up to the nation's highest court.

Update July 7th, 2005
From the referrer logs I see that this post comes up fairly often in Google searches. I'm updating it with a link to a later post I wrote called 'More on performance vs. load testing'.
Performance testing
The goal of performance testing is not to find bugs, but to eliminate bottlenecks and establish a baseline for future regression testing. To conduct performance testing is to engage in a carefully controlled process of measurement and analysis. Ideally, the software under test is already stable enough so that this process can proceed smoothly.
A clearly defined set of expectations is essential for meaningful performance testing. If you don't know where you want to go in terms of the performance of the system, then it matters little which direction you take (remember Alice and the Cheshire Cat?). For example, for a Web application, you need to know at least two things:
- expected load in terms of concurrent users or HTTP connections
- acceptable response time
- at the application level, developers can use profilers to spot inefficiencies in their code (for example poor search algorithms)
- at the database level, developers and DBAs can use database-specific profilers and query optimizers
- at the operating system level, system engineers can use utilities such as top, vmstat, iostat (on Unix-type systems) and PerfMon (on Windows) to monitor hardware resources such as CPU, memory, swap, disk I/O; specialized kernel monitoring software can also be used
- at the network level, network engineers can use packet sniffers such as tcpdump, network protocol analyzers such as ethereal, and various utilities such as netstat, MRTG, ntop, mii-tool
However, testers also take a black-box approach in running the load tests against the system under test. For a Web application, testers will use tools that simulate concurrent users/HTTP connections and measure response times. Some lightweight open source tools I've used in the past for this purpose are ab, siege, httperf. A more heavyweight tool I haven't used yet is OpenSTA. I also haven't used The Grinder yet, but it is high on my TODO list.
When the results of the load test indicate that performance of the system does not meet its expected goals, it is time for tuning, starting with the application and the database. You want to make sure your code runs as efficiently as possible and your database is optimized on a given OS/hardware configurations. TDD practitioners will find very useful in this context a framework such as Mike Clark's jUnitPerf, which enhances existing unit test code with load test and timed test functionality. Once a particular function or method has been profiled and tuned, developers can then wrap its unit tests in jUnitPerf and ensure that it meets performance requirements of load and timing. Mike Clark calls this "continuous performance testing". I should also mention that I've done an initial port of jUnitPerf to Python -- I called it pyUnitPerf.
If, after tuning the application and the database, the system still doesn't meet its expected goals in terms of performance, a wide array of tuning procedures is available at the all the levels discussed before. Here are some examples of things you can do to enhance the performance of a Web application outside of the application code per se:
- Use Web cache mechanisms, such as the one provided by Squid
- Publish highly-requested Web pages statically, so that they don't hit the database
- Scale the Web server farm horizontally via load balancing
- Scale the database servers horizontally and split them into read/write servers and read-only servers, then load balance the read-only servers
- Scale the Web and database servers vertically, by adding more hardware resources (CPU, RAM, disks)
- Increase the available network bandwidth
In a standard test environment such as a test lab, it will not always be possible to replicate the production server configuration. In such cases, a staging environment is used which is a subset of the production environment. The expected performance of the system needs to be scaled down accordingly.
The cycle "run load test->measure performance->tune system" is repeated until the system under test achieves the expected levels of performance. At this point, testers have a baseline for how the system behaves under normal conditions. This baseline can then be used in regression tests to gauge how well a new version of the software performs.
Another common goal of performance testing is to establish benchmark numbers for the system under test. There are many industry-standard benchmarks such as the ones published by TPC, and many hardware/software vendors will fine-tune their systems in such ways as to obtain a high ranking in the TCP top-tens. It is common knowledge that one needs to be wary of any performance claims that do not include a detailed specification of all the hardware and software configurations that were used in that particular test.
Load testing
We have already seen load testing as part of the process of performance testing and tuning. In that context, it meant constantly increasing the load on the system via automated tools. For a Web application, the load is defined in terms of concurrent users or HTTP connections.
In the testing literature, the term "load testing" is usually defined as the process of exercising the system under test by feeding it the largest tasks it can operate with. Load testing is sometimes called volume testing, or longevity/endurance testing.
Examples of volume testing:
- testing a word processor by editing a very large document
- testing a printer by sending it a very large job
- testing a mail server with thousands of users mailboxes
- a specific case of volume testing is zero-volume testing, where the system is fed empty tasks
- testing a client-server application by running the client in a loop against the server over an extended period of time
- expose bugs that do not surface in cursory testing, such as memory management bugs, memory leaks, buffer overflows, etc.
- ensure that the application meets the performance baseline established during performance testing. This is done by running regression tests against the application at a specified maximum load.
In the context of load testing, I want to emphasize the extreme importance of having large datasets available for testing. In my experience, many important bugs simply do not surface unless you deal with very large entities such thousands of users in repositories such as LDAP/NIS/Active Directory, thousands of mail server mailboxes, multi-gigabyte tables in databases, deep file/directory hierarchies on file systems, etc. Testers obviously need automated tools to generate these large data sets, but fortunately any good scripting language worth its salt will do the job.
Stress testing
Stress testing tries to break the system under test by overwhelming its resources or by taking resources away from it (in which case it is sometimes called negative testing). The main purpose behind this madness is to make sure that the system fails and recovers gracefully -- this quality is known as recoverability.
Where performance testing demands a controlled environment and repeatable measurements, stress testing joyfully induces chaos and unpredictability. To take again the example of a Web application, here are some ways in which stress can be applied to the system:
- double the baseline number for concurrent users/HTTP connections
- randomly shut down and restart ports on the network switches/routers that connect the servers (via SNMP commands for example)
- take the database offline, then restart it
- rebuild a RAID array while the system is running
- run processes that consume resources (CPU, memory, disk, network) on the Web and database servers
I am aware that I only scratched the surface in terms of issues, tools and techniques that deserve to be mentioned in the context of performance, load and stress testing. I personally find the topic of performance testing and tuning particularly rich and interesting, and I intend to post more articles on this subject in the future.
