Replacing headlight bulb on Prius
Crazy about my '04 Prius . . . until this week.
A month ago, the passenger side headlight blew out. The parts guy at the dealer just stuck a new one in, in 5 minutes.
This week, the driver's side headlight went out, and I was told that the bumper needs to be removed so they can then remove the fusebox, and then to the bulb. Cost? (Take a breath.) $196. (You read that right!)
Is this actually the case or am I being taken for a pidgeon here? Do you think I could get my "regular" mechanic to do this? Any thoughts out there?

Dina Rosenbloom already has.
Rosenbloom is in the early stages of looking for space in the Fort Greene/Clinton Hill area to launch Rattle & Mum, a new kind of play space for children that she says doesn't exist elsewhere in Brooklyn.
"We want to be able to bring community together through music and performance," said Rosenbloom, a Russian immigrant who spent several years in Minneapolis before moving to Brooklyn, where she lives with her family in Clinton Hill.
After having her first child in 2009, Rosenbloom said she quickly realized the neighborhood lacked resources for parents to entertain their children. "There's nothing in this area," she said.
Instead of shlepping to childcare centers in Brooklyn Heights or Park Slope, Rosenbloom decided to start one of her own. Two years later, her business plan for the venture earned an honorable mention in Brooklyn Library's PowerUP! competition for aspiring entrepreneurs.
Rattle & Mum will feature an open space where children up to five-years-old can engage in a range of activities, and offer educational programs in a classroom setting as well.
Rosenbloom envisions hosting concerts, puppet shows and other live performances for audiences of up to 150 people. She hopes to open in 2012, and attract 250 members the first year. At $350 dollars for an annual membership, Rattle & Mum will be a bargain.
"When the weather is bad parents look for activities" for their children, she said, "especially in an urban environment." Once her play space opens, Brooklynites will have another enticing option.

Paper-Bounds: "Give the people what they want"
Paper-bound publishers say their market is made up mostly of people who used to read only magazines, who are intimidated by the forbidding air of a bookstore, and who can afford perhaps a small fraction of the price of most new hard-cover books.
They buy and read on the move, picking books off a rack or newsstand to read while commuting or traveling or during a frenzied day of changing diapers and making meals. They are impulse buyers who pick books at point of sale, and after reading them, throw them away or pass them on to someone else. Few paper-bound buyers, say the publishers, want to keep the books as personal possessions or "furniture."
Like the trade publishers, the paper-bound publisher spurns market research and puts his trust in the seat of his pants, or "editorial flair" as it is called in the trade. A paper-bound editor [says], "We've got enough 'questionaires' out in the form of our books. Why should we ask them what they want when they already tell us by what they buy?"
The paper-bound publisher's listening post is the display rack. And the vivid packages thereon will show that there isn't much confusion in the publisher's mind about the buying impulses of most paper-bound readers.
The aim of the package design is to capture the darting eye and interest of the man in motion. Primary components are the jacket illustration, the title, and the "skyline" (blurb above the title). The blurb may promise: "Vengeance and passion in exotic Malaya:; "A savage novel of forbidden love." On Voltaire's Candide: "He chased a virtuous maiden through Europe's most bawdy age."
To stay on the newsstands, the paper-bound publisher has to supply titles that sell and sell fast. The publisher generally has to agree with Fawcett's editorial director, Ralph Daigh, that a "book is usually a good book if the public buys it in quantity" - but with the added proviso that it be bought in a hurry.
Says one wholesaler: "For places like terminals and hotels where there is constant traffic, it doesn't matter. But in the small neighborhood store, the same people go in day in and day out. If its not what they want the first week, they'll never read it. It seems like the little guy wants new books every day."

Oh, I love those pulpy paper-bounds covers! Here's a couple of mine:ReplyDelete
In a Deadly Vein: cover by Bob McGinnis.
Girl in 304: cover by Walter Brooks.
Man Who Got Even With God: no credit given.
"Why should we ask them what they want when they already tell us by what they buy?"ReplyDelete
Hah -- I'm glad I'm not alone in my appreciation for that line, Larry. ;^)ReplyDelete
Actually, I find the entire body of the text so fascinating... just replace "books" with "blogs" and "paper-bound publishers" with "content providers" and you begin to see what I'm getting at.
Ward; those are great covers! I stand by my original comment on the McGinnis scan: Woof!ReplyDelete
I'm still learning a lot about these great illustrators by visiting your site regularly, Leif. While I've known about guys like Robert McGinnis for some time, it's only due to this excellent blog that I'm being introduced to other pocketbook talents like Mitchell Hooks. I see he illustrated the "Live Bait For Murder" cover, but is it possible he's also the illustrator behind "Sweet Cheats" in your previous blog entry, Leif? I was also happy to find out that Mitch was the guy who illustrated that wonderful movie poster for "Gigi", one of my favourite films.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous6:23 PM
The illustrations are great, of course, but, putting them aside for a minute, check out all that beautiful hand-drawn lettering! So much more exciting that set type for this sort of thing, don't you think?ReplyDelete

Pete; I can't tell you how happy I am to have introduced you to Mitchell's work. Having spent an hour on the phone with him, i can assure you he's not only incredibly talented, he's also a genuinely wonderful person. My admiration for Mitchell Hooks knows no bounds.ReplyDelete
As for your question - you're thoughts are along the same line as mine were, but no, that cover is the work of Ernest Chiriaka ( signing as "Darcy", his pseudonym). I can't help but think that the talented Mr. Chiriaka was taken by Mitch Hooks' style of the time and did his own version of it... because there are a lot of examples by him in this style, and this is nothing like the look he used when working for "the slicks" like the Saturday Evening Post and Good Housekeeping.
Huw; thanks for pointing that out. I specifically chose five covers with gorgeous hand-drawn type for today's post. I was hoping there would be some type aficionados who would share my appreciation for these awesome titles! :^)ReplyDelete

So if we are talking paperback covers, how about a shout out to "Jaws". That was a paperback by Roger Kastel. One of maybe 50 he did that year. "Just another job" he said. Yet it sold $1M in hardback, 10M copies of paperback and sold the Spielberg/Universal movie.ReplyDelete
these paperback covers had legs...and teeth!
Great images, Leif! In terms of America's visual and popular culture, it becomes clear how pervasive these sorts of images were of America in the 1950s and 60s. You only have to think of the public personna of the members of Rat Pack, their TV presence and their movies to see how broad and deep these paper-bound type images ran. While not as explicit, except between the covers of Playboy, varients of these images ran rampant through periodical pages too. What an exhibit this would make! Thanks.ReplyDelete
I love how all the illustration are essentially composed of flat graphic colors, but because they are done roughly with a brush, and with so much flair, they look very organic. It's brilliant strategy for working quickly because there are fewer colors to mix. Of course you have to have tremendous talent at envisioning the final image before you lay down the paint.ReplyDelete
Also the hand-drawn type is incredible. I love how that angular, flared-serif font is used. It was used in a more serious way back then. Now it's only used to evoke a retro vibe and ti's always tongue and cheek. But at the time it was part of the vernacular, so it was used more earnestly. "Of course, what other typeface would I use for a book title?"ReplyDelete
It's sort of like all the digital looking fonts used in the 90s. Today they are just cheesy, but then they were the obvious choice to look cutting edge.
@larry Yes that is a wise remark in regards to customer data. Most times what people answer in surveys differs wildly from their actual behavior, especially when it comes to shopping. So much of the marketing in unconscious, so people tend not to realize how it affects their decision making anyway. So in essences sales data is much more reliable than opinion anyway.ReplyDelete
Love the look of these covers and the titles are hilarious!ReplyDelete
The Mitch Hooks piece is stunning, thanks Leif.ReplyDelete
- Rich12:56 PM
This chap who painted the first two illustrations here; i'd call him a "lighting virtuoso". How the light wanders upon those perfectly drawn figures.ReplyDelete
In the "Sweet Cheat" and "Witch Finder" illus from the preceding TI-entry i find the very same hand at work, or at least fancy.
- Charlie Allen5:38 PM
If not mistaken, the pocket book covers were, and possibly still are, the longest lasting source for illustrators....primarily back east. There were zillions of them. When the magazines began to fade mainly due to TV, many of the best eastern illustrators found a substitute with the covers. Even back in the 50's, they were a good source of work. In those days, the covers didn't pay enough for the western illustrators to pursue that market, although some did. One of P&H's good illustrators ( a good friend and model in many of my ads) switched careers to a high tech job in Southern California. Later left that for the east, then south, and painted dozens of pocket book covers mostly for one publisher. Last, why did the fine examples in your blog, Leif, and hundreds of others, have more freedom, dramatic impact, excellent and inventive illustrative styles, pizzaz, et al, than work done for ads and editorial illustration sources? And I agree, let's hear it for the lettering guys!ReplyDelete
Leif, I love it. These covers are awesome, always love seeing new mitchell hooks work too! Show us more, these are great!ReplyDelete

Historic photos meet Streetview
A new website called HistoryPin uses clever features, in partnership with Google, to add historic photos and stories against places and a timeline. This allows you to, say, find photos of your home town in 1910 (if anyone has posted any!). These can then be overlayed on a Google Streetview to compare the location with the modern view.

Shock chlorine is the common name for Calcium hypochlorite, a powder chemical with the formula Ca(ClO)2. It is widely used for water treatment and as a bleaching agent (bleaching powder). This chemical is considered to be relatively stable and has greater available chlorine (65%) than sodium hypochlorite (liquid bleach).
- Other names: Hypochlorous acid, calcium salt / Bleaching powder / Calcium Oxychloride, shock chlorine
- CAS No: 7778–54–3
- EC No: 231–908–7
- UN No: 1748
- Appearance: white or grey/white powder with odour of chlorine
- Molar Mass: 142.98 g/mol
- Density: 2.35 g/cm3
- Melting Point: 100oC
Uses for Shock chlorine
Calcium hypochlorite is used for the disinfection of drinking water or swimming pool water. For use in outdoor swimming pools, calcium hypochlorite can be used as a sanitizer in combination with a cyanuric acid stabilizer. The stabilizer will reduce the loss of chlorine because of UV radiation. Calcium does make the water hard and tends to clog up some filters. However, some types of calcium hypochlorite do contain anti-scaling agents in order to prevent clogging up of pipes/filters. This grade of calcium hypochlorite can also be used in hard waters. The main advantage of calcium hypochlorite is that it is unstabilised unlike chlorinated isocyanurates such as sodium dichloroisocyanurate or trichloroisocyanuric acid. Latter products do contain cyanuric acid. If the level of cyanuric acid becomes too high, it will influence the performance of the chlorine.
Pools running on calcium hypochlorite should have a chlorine level of 1–2 ppm (mg/L).
Calcium hypochlorite is also used for bleaching cotton and linen and is used in the manufacture of chloroform.
For whitening in laundry one normally uses approx 200mls of 5% bleach per load. As the calcium hypochlorite is 65% chlorine then you will need around 15g of the calcium hypochlorite per wash. alternatively you can make a 5% solution by adding 77g of calcium hypochlorite to 1 litre of water and use 200mls of this solution.
Other uses are:
- As a bathroom cleaner
- For Cleaning secondhand items
- Adds glow to glass dishware
- As a Household disinfectant spray
- It remove moss and algae from paths, patios and driveways
- Use to sanitize garden tools
- Kills weeds in walkways
- Preserves and keeps cut flowers fresh
- Can be used to Clean garden furniture,
Disinfecting drinking water with Shock Chlorine:
Calcium hypo is used extensively throughout the world to purify drinking water and make it safe. you can either add it directly into water or make up stock solutions to use to treat batches of water. The first is better as stock solutions will deteriorate with time.
As a simple rule of thumb add 0.5g of solid calcium hypochlorite to 100 litres of water (dissolve the 0.5g in about 1 litre of water first and then add this to the 100 litres).
To read an article on how to disinfect water using Calcium Hypochlorite click here.
Health & Safety:
CLASS C: Oxidizing material. CLASS E: Corrosive solid.
R22– Harmful if swallowed. R38– Irritating to skin. R41– Risk of serious damage to eyes.

Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and "The Ultimate Fighter" winner "Sugar" Rashad Evans is out of his scheduled fight against former Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix champion Daniel Cormier with a leg injury.
The fight was scheduled for next Saturday's UFC 170 Pay-Per-View event and slated to be Cormier's first as a light heavyweight.
Cormier's reported preference was to fight next Saturday, with some pundits suggesting popular fighter/TV personality Chael Sonnen could take Evans' place on the card. Sonnen however is already scheduled to face Wanderlai Silva in May in Brazil.
Respected Canadian Mixed Martial Arts journalist "Showdown" Joe Ferraro (SportsNet) had reported that the fight would be moved to Baltimore, but that won't end up being the case.
Cormier will instead end up fighting UFC newcomer Patrick Cummins at UFC 170 next weekend, as announced by the promotion Thursday. A UFC source had previously told WNST.net there was "nothing to" the rumors Evans/Cormier would move to 172.
There has been nothing announced regarding Evans' next fight, but it appears unlikely it would happen in Baltimore as UFC President Dana White said Thursday the former champ would "need surgery" for his injury.
The UFC 172 card slated for April 26th at the Baltimore Arena remains a loaded card. Light Heavyweight champ Jon "Bones" Jones headlines in a title defense against undefeated Glover Teixeira, while well known fighters like Phil Davis, Anthony Johnson, Jake Ellenberger, Luke Rockhold, Tim Boetsch and more are all scheduled to fight on the first ever UFC card in Charm City.
Tickets are still available for UFC 172 but are expected to sell out in the coming days. The UFC source also told WNST.net the promotion was pleased with how "great" sales have been thus far.

CyanogenMod is popular in the Android world because the custom ROM brings stock Android like experience to devices that may otherwise have got the update. The Galaxy S, whose Ice Cream Sandwich update Samsung ditched due to space constraints, is happily running Jelly Bean without any issues.
While the CM team usually brings good news for owners of older devices, today they have brought some bad news. The CM team announced via Google+ update that going forward they will be dropping support for certain devices for CM9 and beyond. These devices include all handsets based on the Snapdragon S1 chipset including the Nexus One, EVO 4G and the Droid Incredible.
Below is the list of all the devices (codenames) that won't be officially supported by the CyanogenMod team and won't have a CM9 release -:
blade, bravo, bravoc, buzz, c660, click, cooper, desirec, e510, e720, es209ra, espresso, hero, heroc, inc, legend, liberty, morrisson, motus, one, p500, passion, robym, s5670, supersonic, tass, u8150, u8220, z71, zero
The reason why the CM team is not going to work on CM9 and beyond for these handsets is because of space constraints, older binary files, dirty hacks and much more. The whole update from the CM team can be read here.
