PB Moravian Star Pendant...Finally!!!

post from Suburban Spunk on 23 March 2011 10:34:55 PM. © Suburban Spunk

So 2011 has proven to be a super busy year so far, but it has been great. Some recent highlights include: Meeting and seeing Vusi Mahlasela perform.
Celebrating my bff George's 30th birthday with dinner and a Boombox concert
Celebrating Hillary's bachelorette party
Chris and Hillary's Wedding
Galactic concert
Whew, what a year so far! I've also been busy with house projects (of course).
First up, ?the Pottery Barn Moravian Star Pendant. It arrived this Summer and sat in a box till Fall (oops!). I was busy and my little helper (my Dad) was busy too, but it is finally up. I love it! I get tons of compliments on it and think it adds some fun charm to our kitchen.
Here's a before pic of the builder basic light fixture-

And now with the new PB light fixture-

I love the design it creates on the ceiling at night!

It was well worth the 8 weeks it took to ship, plus the 6+ weeks it took my Dad and I to finally hang it up:)?
Isn't it amazing how something so minor, like a ceiling pendant light, can add so much character to a space?Anyone else hang a fun light fixture in their home? I'd love to see your pics!love, S

What is Boost Meter

post from Car Enthusiast: Blogger | Car Modification | 2ZZGE,4AGE,4G93T,JBJL,4G13,4G15 on 23 March 2011 10:34:54 PM. © Car Enthusiast: Blogger | Car Modification | 2ZZGE,4AGE,4G93T,JBJL,4G13,4G15

A boost gauge is a pressure gauge that indicates manifold air pressure or turbocharger or supercharger boost pressure in an internal combustion engine. They are commonly mounted on the dashboard, on the driver's side pillar, or in a radio slot.
Turbochargers and superchargers are both engine-driven air compressors (exhaust-driven or mechanically-driven, respectively) and provide varying levels of boost according to engine rpm, load etc. Quite often there is a power band within a given range of available boost pressure and it is an aid to performance driving to be aware of when that power band is being approached, in the same way a driver wants to be aware of engine rpm.
A boost gauge is used to ensure excessive pressure is not being generated when boost pressure is being modified to levels higher than OEM standard on a production turbocharged car. Simple methods can be employed to increase factory boost levels, such as bleeding air off the wastegate diaphragm to 'fool' it into staying closed longer, or installing a boost controller. To prevent the Air-fuel ratio from going lean (caused by increasing the boost beyond the fuel systems capacity) care must be taken to monitor boost pressure levels, along with oxygen levels in the exhaust gas, using an air-fuel ratio meter that monitors the oxygen sensor.
A boost gauge will measure pressure in either psi or bar; many also measure manifold vacuum pressure in inches of mercury (in. Hg) or mm of mercury (mm Hg).

How to Stop Waiting for Prince Charming

post from How to of the Day on 23 March 2011 10:34:27 PM. © How to of the Day

If you haven't found Prince Charming yet, be very worried. Be worried that you're betting on a dream that has the potential to divest you of common sense, personal financial resourcefulness, and self-fulfillment directed from within. While the idea of Prince Charming has some qualities to recommend it (such as looking for a partner who is caring

ISP Shield Kit

The Evil Mad Science ISP Shield is a new open source hardware kit that we're releasing today.

It lets you use your Arduino (or shield-compatible clone, such as the Diavolino) as an AVR ISP programmer, for example to burn bootloaders onto "raw" AVR chips, directly within the Arduino programming environment, either in the provided ZIF socket or on an external target board.

You can read more about this process here.

The circuit is designed to be compatible with the "Arduino as ISP" option in recent versions of the Arduino IDE. It is based on a number of prior hardware implementations, most closely the version by Andre Knoerig at Fritzing.

Complete documentation, including assembly instructions, design files, and basic usage information is available on the Evil Mad Science Wiki.
