![]() I colored my cake mix grey to make it look more like carbonite, but that did have the side effect of making the cake a rather unappealing color.Īnother issue is that it is difficult to ice a cake created in these molds as any icing will smother the details. One slight issue is that cake release lubricants pool in the mold so Han ended up without fingertips thanks to my generous useage, I suppose it’s all about finding a balance. The most important thing here was using LOTS of lubricant to make sure the cake releases easily from the mold after cooking, if it sticks in those tiny crevices Han will most certainly be losing body parts. Once R2 was out he looked fantastic but was incredibly fragile due to the thin connections to his “feet”, make sure to release him straight onto the service plate you’ll be using as you will probably not be able to move him without breakage.įinally a trip to my sister’s called for a Han Solo cake. This task did however get quite wet, quite fast so make sure you do it before changing into any party wear. ![]() Luckily the molds are rectangular, forming a reverse impression of the mold on the back which could therefore be filled with hot water to coax R2 out of his hiding place. One minor issue involved actually releasing R2 from his mold. I was curious as to how well the highly intricate detail of R2 would show up in such a gelatinous format, but it turns out that jello is excellent at holding even small details perfectly. The penultimate test was a tasty R2D2 jello. That meant scrubbing all the brownie mix out of Han’s many creases and crevices, just how I wanted to spend my afternoon. This did highlight one issue with the molds, they are not dishwasher safe. Even with my old recipe for what we remembered as a fairly solid brownie with a consistency closer to cake, the finished product just couldn’t hold any shape and had to be scraped out of the mold. Next up was an attempt at brownies as suggested on the ThinkGeek product page and the only test that went horribly wrong. He looked great after he was (very carefully) turned out and he made a fantastic alternative to a traditional Easter egg. The molds are enormous but providing you don’t fill them too deeply you can still create shaped chocolates that won’t break their recipients teeth, Han took around 200g of cooking chocolate to fill to a depth of a few millimetres. As Easter was approaching I decided to create a giant chocolate Han Solo in Carbonite for my in-laws. The second thing I tried with the molds was using them with chocolate. If you wanted to use them as ice cubes in a more traditional way, an ice Millenium Falcon would certainly look great chilling a big bowl of punch at a party. If you live in a cold climate, you could create a long-lasting Star Wars ice display in your yard, although if you live in a neighbourhood where kids are likely to hurl things at your windows, I’d advise only putting these at the back as they are heavy, solid chunks of ice that could do a lot of damage if thrown. By mixing a little milk and food dye into the water we were able to make brightly coloured figures that stayed in our garden for almost a week before melting. However, a few days after the molds arrived, the UK experienced an unseasonal snowfall, so my three year old son and I made ourselves some colored ice sculptures for the garden. ![]() Han Solo measures 10 inches tall (the mold itself is 11 inches long) and even the Millennium Falcon, the smallest of the three, is almost 8 inches long. The most obvious thing to create with an ice cube mold is naturally, an ice cube. How many things can you actually create with an enormous Han Solo in Carbonite silicone mold? ![]() I am the proud owner of a set of official Portal 2 cookie cutters and, epic as they are, how many occasions actually call for Portal cookies? I wondered the same thing about the new large size Star Wars ice molds available at Think Geek.

Therefore, the ray direction goes from to to to, and it leaves the corner reflector with all three components of direction exactly reversed. Similarly, when reflected from side y and finally from side z, the b and c components are reversed. When the ray reflects from the first side, say x, the ray's x component, a, is reversed to − a while the y and z components are unchanged, resulting in a direction of. To see this, the three corresponding normal vectors of the corner's perpendicular sides can be considered to form a basis (a rectangular coordinate system) ( x, y, z) in which to represent the direction of an arbitrary incoming ray. The incoming ray is reflected three times, once by each surface, which results in a reversal of direction.

That’s not even mentioning the people who have been cursed with bad insulin sensitivity and would gain more fat than muscle when bulking up. While this method enabled many to gain a considerable size, most would lose a fair amount of their new muscle when intense dieting. In the bulking phase, unlike reverse dieting, they would consume plenty of carbohydrates and calories and drop the carbs and calories to a sub-maintenance level when trying to cut the fat, i.e. In the best cases, it will enable us to build muscle while losing fat at the same time., similar toĪn early method of carb cycling used by many bodybuilders was to have separate bulking and cutting phases. In theory, carb cycling allows us to build muscle while gaining very little or no fat. You then use lower calorie and low carb days to maximize your body’s fat burning system. As for that pesky insulin, these days will temporarily raise the levels to help boost muscle growth and preserve muscle tissue. ![]() High carb days will also influence hormones that relate to your muscle protein synthesis and metabolism. Chronically elevated levels of insulin increase the body’s ability to store body fat as it prevents the release of glucagon and therefore reduces fat mobilization and usage.Ĭarb cycling, similar to refeed days in concept but different in applications, uses the high carb days to replenish glycogen stores, which can boost the intensity of your training. ![]() But they also spike insulin levels which feed your body’s fat with glucose to store.Īs bodybuilders, we all know we need to consume carbohydrates and produce insulin to develop a muscular physique. Carbohydrates create a more anabolic environment in your body. Enough about what carb cycling can do for you - how does it work and what’s the science behind it?Ĭarbs are often referred to as a double-edged sword - we need carbs to fuel our workouts and for muscle growth, but they can also be conducive to fat storage. ![]() ![]() I was still undecided about buying a license for Loopback – it is pretty pricey. So that little futzing moment was a breakthrough as I knew exactly how to strip my own voice out of the Skype feed. I have to pipe my mic into the composite stream going into Skype for everyone on the call to hear me, but the quality of the feed coming out of Skype really wasn’t great enough that I was happy to have that instead of a direct mic feed. The crappy audio issue I mentioned above when playing with Loopback was because my own mic was doubled up it was coming out of the Skype feed with everyone else, and *also* coming in as it’s own direct feed. The trick to piping the music into Skype for others to hear whilst broadcasting involves (1) creating a composite feed of whatever is playing the music plus my mic (2) feeding that in as the mic input to Skype. Using that block I’d stripped my own mic out of the Skype feed into the broadcast. People had commented previously about the Skype audio on our broadcast, with my voice in one ear and Tannis and Maren in another. I had been playing around with the set up and left a Channels block set to Duplicate Right enabled on the Skype feed in. For a bit at the start of the show nobody could hear my mic at all on the broadcast. ![]() I didn’t go back to it again seriously for quite some time, but a few weeks before we took our break, we had a little on-air futz at the start of a broadcast which turned out to be a lightbulb moment. ![]() I was swithering on whether to buy a license for Loopback but in the tests I did I was struggling with some crappy audio on my own mic stream so I held off. My first broadcasting set up in Audio Hijack was a pretty simple affair, and in the last post I wrote about it I described an idea I had for feeding the music being played back into Skype using Loopback so that Tannis and Maren could hear it whilst it was being broadcast. As much as anything I’ve enjoyed the learning and experimentation that’s come with it. I’ve been further tinkering with and trying to improve on my #ds106radio broadcasting set-up and have had a little bit of a breakthrough which has finally led to me getting a new setup in place that I’m pretty chuffed with. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She must be, mostly, human (no cats, mice, etc. The only real requirements for consideration:Ģ. the very last memo Walt Disney wrote before his death was 'CIA.Mobley', referring to.

Programs like that help the utility keep a good bond rating so it can borrow at reasonable rates. ![]() We heavily rely on that rate model to set our rates each year.” It looks at our water usage over the past five years and predicts usage going forward. “One program is our rate model that predicts out 15 years ahead and establishes a five-year financial plan. “We really focus hard on financial sustainability,” Burchfield says. That watershed protection plan is really a whole plan that looks at everything that would be affected south of us.”Ĭolumbus Water Works has numerous sustainability programs, including on the financial management side. “Even as you get down into the city, where we’re below the water plant, that’s where our watershed protection plan kicks in for all tributaries in Columbus that feed into the river that would affect people downstream. We can look at the devices and tell the condition of the water before it gets to the water plant. We have real-time monitoring probes that measure pH, oxygen and turbidity. It’s a common goal to keep that watershed as clean as possible. “We have partnerships with other utilities pulling water from the same reservoir. “All those vulnerability points are identified upstream in the watershed,” Burchfield says. The SWAP identifies all the sources of waste in the tributaries that feed the river, such as fueling plants or bridges where there is potential for a tanker spill. The water works and its regional partners have had a Source Water Assessment Plan in place since 2001 and upgraded in 2018. The source water is the Chattahoochee River on the border between Georgia and Alabama. It also operates one central wastewater treatment plant and two small plants that handle combined sewer overflows in the older part of the city. It serves Muscogee County and sells water to Harris and Talbot counties and the Fort Benning military base. The utility pumps an average of 35 mgd from a treatment plant with a capacity of 90 mgd. It also has electronic monitors on creeks throughout the region. Walking the creeks is just one way Columbus Water keeps a close watch on the creeks that drain its service area and supply its reservoir. “We generate work orders based on each walk, and our field services team follows up,” says Burchfield. Knee-deep in the water, the creek walkers look for pipes that are cracked, for pipes that have been bumped by trees washing downstream during high water, or for erosion that might leave pipes unsupported and vulnerable to cracking. They generally walk the creeks during low-flow periods they work two or three at a time for safety. Once a year, the water utility joins with the stormwater utility for a creek-walking event, but the water utility also has a three-person watershed crew that routinely walks creeks known to have issues with sewer pipes that cross them, or other potential problems. The creek walking program was one reason Columbus Water Works won a 2019 Sustainable Utility Award for utility management from the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies. When you’re walking, you can see how the stream is flowing, and if it looks healthy. We also observe the wildlife, such as frogs, turtles and minnows. It’s like any inspection: You have to know where to look. “We find it very beneficial to routinely walk the creeks,” says Vic Burchfield, senior vice president for the Division of Information, Security, Environmental and Meter Services in Columbus, a Georgia city of nearly 200,000.

This is there the capillaries in your extremities are very sensitive to temperature change. ![]() If you find that you get chilblains a lot, or that the circulation in your hands and feet clamps down even when you don’t feel it is that cold, or you regularly get fingers or toes that go completely white and you get burning pain and tingling as they warm up, you may have a condition called Raynaud’s. Wha t is the difference b etw een chilblains and Raynaud 's? Here are some pictures of what chilblains can look like Warm up the rest of you too so the natural vasodilation process occurs as your core temperature increases. Rub them gently to increase the circulation and sometimes running them under cold water can be helpful as the cold will still feel warmer than your cold feet. DO NOT put your feet in hot water or stick them in front of a hot fire however tempting. The other important thing to prevent chilblains and sore itchy toes in winter is not warm them up too quickly if they do get cold. Using creams that have warming ingredients such as eucalyptus, menthol and ginger can also help to improve circulation and help to prevent painful chilblains These Diaped Duosoft Plus Diabetic Insoles are great and the top layer helps to keep your feet warm. You can find insoles on the internet with great thermodynamic qualities. Look at the shoes you wear, are they warm? Do they have a thick enough sole to keep the cold out? And are they waterproof? Often running shoes are breathable so they don’t get too hot in summer but this means they have very little insulation in the winter to keep your toes warm. There are loads of thermal socks on the market or lamswool lined slippers that can keep your feet warmer. Wrap up warm if going out in cold weather and consider 2 pairs of socks if you do suffer from cold feet. The best way to prevent the pain, redness and itching.Īs my grandmother always said, prevention is the best treatment! To prevent chilblains from occurring in the first place, try not to let your feet get cold. The camphor and menthol in this can help relieve the pain and itching of chilblains if the skin is unbroken. It also contains ingredients that aid healing and nourish and protect the skin. Ginkgo works on the circulation by opening more of the small capillaries according to one study. 2 I recommend regularly are:Ĭontains Gingko Biloba which activates blood circulation and can help in preventing or curing chilblains, where the critical issue is stagnation of blood flow on exposure to cold. There are some helpful treatments out there that can ease the pain and itching in your toes in the mean time. Once you have got a chilblain, time is the main factor in getting rid of them and they will usually heal up in 6-8 weeks. As the area starts to heal and the capillaries repair, it causes the itching sensation that makes suffering from chilblains so miserable, especially at night in bed when your feet are warm and you have a got increased circulation around the feet and toes This all creates pain, swelling and redness. Then, when you warm up, especially if you warm up too quickly the pressure of the returning blood flow happens quicker than the capillaries can dilate and it causes the very ends of the capillaries to burst under the pressure and this creates the bruised like appearance. These patches are commonly known as Chilblains or perniosis (if you want to sound clever!) They form because as the capillaries clamp down, they stop letting blood with its oxygen and nutrients feed the skin in those areas, this is ok for a short period of time but if it happens for too long it causes damage to the surrounding tissues. However, sometimes this clever system goes wrong and the result is sore, red, itchy fingers and toes. It is a very clever survival mechanism to help maintain your core temperature of around 37C and to prevent hypothermia setting in. This makes sure they function properly and to help and keep your core body temperature consistent. The body is very clever and when you get cold the tiny blood vessels (capillaries) in your extremities (hands, feet and even nose and ears) clamp down to make sure that your blood stays around your vital organs like the heart, brain and lungs. Sometimes they can look a bit like a bruise and sometimes toes can become quite swollen. They have a distinctive ‘dusky pink’ appearance and can be very tender and itchy. Chilblains, why my toes get red, itchy and sore in the winter.Ĭhilblains are small red itchy patches that can appear on toes and fingers after you’ve been in the cold, particularly in winter. ![]() |
