![]() ![]() Can you tell the difference in the spindle in the middle and the one on the left? The one in the middle looks so shiny because I already buffed it up.Īll along I had this plan to dry brush or paint the ship white. With a rag it seems I am always folding and unfolding it or it slips out of my hands.Īfter the wax dries I use the top part of the sock (the dry part) to buff the wax. I slip it in on my hand, dip it in the wax, and start waxing. Petticoat Junktion Tip: When waxing a bed like this or anything with spindles or legs I grab an old sock. The wax looks yellow in the can but goes on clear and dries clear. In this case I used Howards Wax in neutral. To take care of that I apply a coat of neutral or dark wax to bring the color back to the wood. I probably would sand through the tips of my gloves.Īll of that distressed wood is going to look a little raw. It would be a good idea to wear gloves while sanding by hand. I used my favorite flexible sandpaper (on Amazon here) and took my time working on the bed. Sanding a bed like this by hand takes a while. I started distressing the paint with my power sander but was getting these ugly marks from the sander vibrations so I had to resort to sanding by hand. In between coats of paint I wrap my brush in my gloves so the paint doesn’t dry out and I can use the brush for the second coat of paint. I brushed on two coats of paint just to be sure I covered every nook, curve, and cranny. I usually open the garage door and paint at the end of the workshop where I can get natural light but this heat is something else. I painted the bed in the middle of the workshop floor. When you have a piece like this bed where you are painting both sides you sit the piece on the pyramids after painting one side then you move on to the other side to paint. Well, they were yellow but I've used them a bunch and I think they are mostly gold now.from spray paint. ![]() Those little yellow pyramids (on Amazon here) are one of my favorite little DIY tools. The paint covers great and I love the sheen. I used a Zibra paint brush and this is what one coat of paint looks like with Beyond Paint. For instance a vintage wood piece with a lot of red in the wood might get primed and a table top that will see a lot of use might get sealed for extra protection. It is an all-in-one which means no priming or sealing required although depending on the project I might prime and I might seal. You guys have heard me talk about this paint before. The paint I selected for the project is Beyond Paint, color navy. I thought about gray for the bed but it sounded too dull. As I always say “distressing paint adds character.”Īnd the navy blue paint is just the right color for a boy’s bedroom. Just look at how pretty those spindles and the wood ship applique look with the stained wood showing through the paint here and there. This style of bed was meant to be painted and distressed. You have to admit it’s perfect for this bed. I like the spindles but what really sold me on the bed was the ship. Hopefully I won’t have a problem selling it. People come in the shop all the time looking for twin beds. I bought a set of bed rails to go with it at my favorite junk shop for $10. I don’t exactly remember the price but I want to say it was $20-$25. I bought the bed at Warehouse 41 Antiques and More in Clarksville where I have a booth. I’ve managed to scratch the paint on a few pieces myself. I don’t want to give boys a bad rap because painted furniture gets dings and scrapes even in the calmest of homes. I plan to distress the spindles because I can tell you….the bed is slowly going to be distressed by that boy or boys. The bed is a twin size and has an added detail that makes it perfect for a boy's bedroom. In this tutorial I will show you how to paint a wood spindle bed.

![]() Tags are classified into groups, like DICOM and EXIF. ![]() The Flash example described above fits in with the EXIF standard. Similarly, the EXIF standard dictates metadata schemas for classifying images and sounds recorded by digital cameras. If tag holding a medical diagnosis embedded in an x-ray image got changed accidentally, that’d be bad. You can add some custom tags not defined by the DICOM or EXIF standard in exiftool and change many tags but not all. The DICOM standard dictates that the image supports tags like the attending physician’s name, procedure date, and exposure length. These standards define tag “schemas” that dictate the tags assigned to specific filesįor example, metadata on an x-ray image taken at a hospital or medical center will follow the DICOM standard. For example, two of these standards are Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine ( DICOM) and Exchangeable image file format (EXIF). Having this standard set of values for tags allows exiftool users to know what values are available for specific tags. This Flash tag example has a defined set of values it can have 27 to be exact. The Flash tag may then have a date value that indicates when the picture was taken. When you do, your phone may store the picture and embed a metadata tag in the picture named Flash. For example, perhaps you take a picture with your phone. Tags are key-value pairs embedded into files that store information about that file. Tags are extremely important to understand as nearly everything in exiftool comes back to metadata tags in some way. Metadata is stored in these files as metadata tags or just tags.

![]() We all have a basic understanding of what colors look best on them. Base your color choice on your skin undertone.As for the shoes, wear black shoes or brown loafers as they are a great way to add polish to a monochromatic outfit without looking stuffy or overdressed. ![]() For instance, if you are wearing a navy blue top, try to add a twist by pairing it with dark blue pants or something with a touch of a different color (blue with black stripes). Don’t go overboard by pushing yourself to wear a single color – you might just look awkward.Also, the lighter item should go on top with darker items towards the bottom. Wear darker shades on areas you want to hide, and lighter colors on areas you wish to accentuate.Print it out as a reference you can use when you go shopping. You can also use online tools like Adobe colour wheel to generate your colour palette by playing with hue, saturation, and lightness. It can be from shades (base color plus black), tones (base color plus grey), or tints (base color plus white). Choose a tertiary color from which you will create your overall colour palette.Thoughts?ĭo any of you have color matching rules your mother passed down to you?

Whatever you do, stop saying to yourself: “Well, black is supposed to be slimming. Products:īefore we go, I just want to leave you with a little reminder if you’re doubting your abilities to wear different hues. Fashion is all about self-expression and versatility. Keep a neutral palette by using black, navy, or cream, and add just a hint of color in the right place. When you have to tone down the rainbow, try adding just a pop of color to your ensemble. For example, as much as you would love to wear your summery brights year-round, your boss isn’t exactly a fan of the color wheel (boo). Sometimes, though, situations require more subdued and conservative looks. You know how to pair a killer lemon heel with a navy romper. Below, I created an outfit using red and pink – which many say don’t go together, but can actually be combined for a fabulously unexpected look. Hues that are similar to one another on the color wheel create a harmonious and cohesive look. Just pick any one color on the wheel, then choose the color to the right or the left of the original - you have found your palette. Outfit via Lulus Analogous ColorsĪnalogous colors are even easier to find on the wheel than complementary colors. Some complementary pairings are: orange/blue, violet/yellow, turquoise/maroon. What you will find is that the colors directly line up and appear to be opposites of one another. any color that isn’t red, yellow, or blue), and trace your finger directly across the circle to the opposite portion of the wheel. If the monochrome look isn’t your thing and you want to get a little more daring, you can also mix primary colors in one outfit for a bold look, as seen below: Products:įinding complementary colors is simple: Pick any color on the color wheel (for diversity, try a secondary or tertiary color, i.e. Utilizing only one color lengthens and streamlines the body. This idea seems basic, but when executed correctly, appears modern and chic. Primary colors can work great for a monochrome look, which means styling an outfit using only one color. All other colors come from a combination of these three hues. Red, blue, and yellow is known as the primary colors. Trust me, it’s foolproof! How to Match Colors: The Basicsīelow, I’ll show you how to match different hues together for a harmonious ensemble. This circle of color is going to serve as a grown-up guide to matching colors.

(Too much liquid = soggy, right?)Īnd because we are getting rid of a lot of water.there is room for the flavor to move into the tofu! This recipe calls for adding soy sauce for flavor. Removing the water allows the tofu to hold its shape and have a more substantial texture and bite to it. Tofu is packaged in water and therefore, has a high moisture content. It is a really important step for crispy tofu! Pressing tofu has two main purposes: to improve the texture and add flavor. In this resource, you'll learn 2 easy methods. Okay, ready to learn how to make crispy tofu? Let's go! First, we need to prep it. Always do your own research ( this article is a great start!) Those stories about tofu and soy being dangerous and messing with human hormones? A total myth spread by the animal-farming industry. We add it to many dishes we used to add chicken to like our vegetable fried rice and vegan fajitas. Tofu is a great meat replacement with a high protein count. We make this tofu (or baked BBQ tofu) at least twice a week with rice and veggies or potatoes! The truth? It can be those things - just like many foods.without seasoning! But knowing how to make tofu crispy and flavorful has changed my world. It has a reputation for being bland and tasteless. Like many people, I was totally intimidated by tofu for a long time. The corners of the cubes get golden brown and caramelized, while the middles stay nice and chewy.įinally, bake! Transfer the baking sheet to a 425-degree oven and cook until the cubes are browned around the edges.This delicious, perfectly crispy tofu is made using an easy pan fry method. It’s good both ways, but I like mine best without the cornstarch. ![]() If desired, you could also add cornstarch to make it extra crispy. Toss the cubes with olive oil, tamari or soy sauce, and sriracha. Next, chop it into 1-inch cubes and spread them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. This method is SO much quicker, and the results are delicious! Many baked tofu recipes swear by pressing it for 30 minutes or more, but in my opinion, that step isn’t necessary. It yields flavorful, firm cubes that are perfect for adding to a stir fry, salad, or bowl! Here’s how I do it:įirst, drain the tofu and gently press it in a kitchen towel or paper towels over the sink. You can marinate it, or prepare it using the crispy baked tofu recipe below:īaking is my go-to method for how to cook tofu. Up. There’s a reason that tofu gets flak for being bland, and that’s because it is! Make sure you season it well. (Just make sure not to push too hard, or it will crumble!) You can use a stack of books, or just do what I do, and use your hands to press it lightly in a kitchen towel or paper towels. Tofu presses are available in stores, but having one isn’t necessary. ![]() Press it. Tofu contains a lot of water, and you’ll want to squeeze most of it out, especially if you’re baking, grilling, or frying it.Note: I prefer to buy organic tofu made without genetically modified soybeans. It has a heartier, denser texture and less water content than other types of tofu. Soft silken tofu would be my choice for blending into desserts or slicing into miso soup, but if you’re serving it as a main dish or topping it onto bowls, extra-firm is what you’ll need. In grocery stores, it ranges from silken to firm and extra-firm. Make sure you select the right texture.Here are my best tips on how to cook tofu: It’s easy to work with, but there are a few things you should know before you start cooking with it. When blended, it has a great creamy texture – you can use it in a vegan mousse or pudding, and it’s essential for making a creamy ricotta substitute in my lasagna and vegan stuffed shells. Most often, I bake it to add protein and hearty texture to bowls, noodles, and salads. Tofu can get a bad rap as a meat substitute, but it’s actually an incredibly versatile ingredient. In my tofu recipes, I don’t use it as a meat substitute, but rather as something unique and delicious in its own right! It’s a great addition to vegetarian and vegan diets, but even if you’re a meat eater, I urge you to try it. It’s a good source of plant-based protein that can be used in all sorts of ways. Tofu is a soy-based food that’s made from curdling soy milk and forming it into a solid block. But once you learn a little about it, it couldn’t be easier to prepare tofu well!

If you’ve never worked with it before, cooking tofu can be daunting. Everyone has an opinion on tofu, and here’s mine: I absolutely love it…when it’s prepared the right way. Featuring a battery state indicator, it frequently checks how charged your battery is and adequately notifies you when fully charged in order to disconnect the desulfator from the batteries. It works on most brands and types of 12V lead batteries, such as flooded, gel, AGM, starter, deep cycle and hybrid. This desulfator is able to charge up to two batteries at a time, precisely ascertaining the number of currents they need to be optimally charged and maintained. ![]() Additionally, the long-term float feature ensures that this desulfator is able to maximise battery life and extend it for several more years while simultaneously improving its capacity to store charge regardless of whether it is an old or new battery. With a controller that has the capacity to hold up to 30 Watts of power, it’s able to safely charge while constantly adjusting its output by the second to ensure it does not damage, overcharge or undercharge. The good news is that this next model of the BatteryMINDer uses solar power to dynamically monitor the voltage of your battery with a 5-Watt amorphous silicon solar panel, the BatteryMINDer SCC-515-5 12V 5-Watt Panel Solar Battery Charger is able to use the readings to ascertain how to optimally and accurately charge and maintain the battery. As some batteries have not been used for long periods of time, this triggers underperformance even when charged for hours. The root cause of battery failure among others, as we have established, is the crystallization of the sulphur stemmed from an irregular and insufficient charge. This regenerator is able to work on various ranges of battery types using high-frequency pulses to properly recondition and prolong battery life you will be able to regenerate up to four batteries in one go provided you have a 210AY Y-Connector. Even new batteries can start malfunctioning when their charge is constantly interrupted or left uncharged for periods of time, hence why this desulfator helps to safely soften sulphated batteries and get them working well again. The BatteryMINDer takes on the task of using a high range of frequencies to dissolve hardened sulphate build up over time, ensuring that your battery returns to its usual optimum state of operating. However, not every desulfator will be able to fix your battery problems you need a reliable, easy to use regenerator like the BatteryMINDer Amp Battery and Maintenance Charger that can safely and surely resolve and restore your under-performing battery. Convenient solar kits can be set up and ready for use in less than 5 minutes! PowerPulse gives a constant supply of power to the solar panel and will increase your battery life up to 3 times at a minimal cost when combined with solar panels or an outside charging source such as a alternator or generator.If your car, van or motorcycle battery has stopped performing at its full capacity, it is time to take charge and get yourself a desulfator. Portable solar panel kits consist of high-quality components that provide you with 40 to 230 watts of power output, with the option to expand this power output utilizing the latest manufacturing and design techniques. It removes sulfate crystals from the battery platesĬombine the PowerPulse with a 12-volt solar power solution from Zamp Solar, the leading manufacturer of off-grid solar panels made in the USA.It provides greater charge acceptance so batteries recharge faster.You can use one 12V PowerPulse on two 6V Series batteries to de-sulfate the battery bank.It extends battery life by up to 3 times when combined with solar panels or an outside charging source such as a alternator or generator.There are many reasons to use a PowerPulse Maintenance System: The patented Pulse Technology enables batteries to accept, store and release maximum power when needed. It does this by generating an intermittent, optimized high frequency pulse that reduces existing sulfate deposits on the battery and keeps them from building up again. The PowerPulse is a performance enhancing device designed to help batteries charge faster and provide maximum performance and power. It works with single 12V batteries as well as those connected in parallel or series configurations. The PowerPulse is ideal for virtually any kind of vehicle or equipment with a 12-Volt battery system that is charged on a regular basis, including cars, over-the-road trucks, boats, ATVs, tractors, mowers, golf carts, emergency vehicles and generators.

The intention is to recreate the original game either as exactly as possible and/or to make a better version of the same game. So, the slightly longer answer is that a remake is a game coded a second time or its game content (art, sounds, music, story, game elements) was created a second time, or if you have a complete remake everything was done again from scratch. A remake does not need to conceal that it is a copy, it wants to be a copy of the source, and normally true remakes happen long after the trend. But if it is too close to its inspiration, the changes too little and you get the feeling that it’s a “me too” release, just call it a “rip-off”. A famous German video game clone is The Great Giana Sisters. Sure sometimes there are genre-defining games like Tower Defense and it’s hard not to look alike. When something really looks or plays like a certain other game you know, it’s a clone (as long as it is not a remake )). Most game series evolve during their life time, some slowly mutating and other having more drastic changes to theme, mechanics or even genre (Star Control/strategy → Star Control 2/adventure). with Electronic Arts Sports series like FIFA, the next version often could be an update for the engine and player database of the previous one. Sequels are sometimes the same game sold a second time with minimal changed content or mechanics, e.g. In contrast, most noncommercial remakes start from scratch with no business relationship to the original developers. A company specialized in porting games to Linux is Linux Game Publishing. Normally this is done by the original developers or a third person with a contractual relationship and with access to the source materials. from Microsoft Windows to Linux, while using most of the code, game and art and trying to spend as little work as possible. Let me describe how I would differentiate those from remakes.Ī port is the same game adapted for a different platform, e.g. Games of the last type often resemble closely an ancestor without officially admitting this. ![]() ![]() “A video game remake is a game closely adapted from an earlier title, usually for the purpose of modernizing a game for newer hardware and contemporary audiences.“ Source: Wikipedia,Video game remakeīoth definitions are far too simple and do not distinguish remakes from clones, ports, sequels and shameless rip-offs. What is a video game remake? My easy and short answer: A video game coded with recreated content (graphics, sounds, etc) a second time. It actually started life as an E46 330i but an LS-swap, a complete facelift with genuine M3 body components, and several other pieces of the car transformed it into what you see today. His BMW E46, which you may recognize from “The Smoking Tire” or from various features in print and online, is quite the melting pot of fandoms. Recently, I was able to catch up with him after his last event to speak with him more in-depth this time about the whole build. Since that conversation, Andrew has entered his second year of competition with the M3 we spoke about those few years back. When he told me what his build was going to be, I became incredibly excited and the phone call quickly excluded any talk of equipment purchases and transitioned exclusively to speaking about his idea. Being a BMW enthusiast and collector myself, Andrew and I were able to find a common connection and enjoyed a fantastic conversation about his plans for the E46 in his garage. Andrew spends his time much the same way many of us do: underneath his BMW E46 M3 or slaying tires around a drift course. ![]() Upon further conversation, it came about why he was interested in purchasing commercial equipment for personal use. Andrew first contacted me four years ago while I worked for an equipment company where he inquired about some wheel and tire equipment. Andrew is one such passionate individual who is a shining example of dedicated discipline and enthusiasm that has resulted in an incredible car with an inspiring driver. ![]() A benefit of working in the automotive aftermarket community is that you have many opportunities to meet people who share your passion and have followed through with their ambition. It is often the case in the car community that projects start and are never completed or that something somehow impedes us from finishing our goals. ![]() One we enthusiasts are familiar with is the timeless classic “hard work and dedication is all it takes to be successful”. Generic clichés are generic because they are so frequently used. |
