As iron reacts with oxygen in the air, it begins to oxidize. Instead, it would be best if you used stainless steel woks which are non-corrosive.Ĭarbon steel is a highly malleable iron alloy. What’s causing the carbon steel wok to turn black?Ĭarbon steel woks turn black over time due to rusting and sometimes due to carbon steel black residue, It is not recommended that you use carbon steel woks because they get rusty. If you do not do this, you may end up with a rusty wok, which is not suitable for your food. They need to be seasoned and this process takes some time.Īfter a few uses, the carbon steel will develop its natural patina, making it nonstick. However, you should know that Made In carbon steel woks does not come naturally nonstick. Many cooks prefer carbon steel woks because of their nonstick surface. You may also need to wash it a second time if you use pungent foods such as fish or meat. You can use steel wool or a soap-filled scouring pad to remove the lacquer. If it is, you will need to wash the wok at least once before using it again. This coating is probably from the factory. You may have noticed a black coating on the inside of your carbon steel wok. See Also: Will Cast Iron Scratch An Induction Cooktop? What is the black coating on wok? Abrasive cleaners can also scratch the wok’s surface and damage the finish. This is because harsh cleaners may leave traces behind and eventually cause rust. It is also a good idea to thoroughly dry it after washing it. Just make sure to rinse the wok thoroughly after cleaning it.Īfterward, you can use a metal scrubber or carbon steel soap to clean the wok thoroughly. However, if you do not like the look of this black residue on carbon steel pan, you can scrub it with lemon juice, white vinegar, or coarse salt. It also prevents your wok from becoming rusty. It is important to remember that the carbon steel pan black residue is beneficial and helps season your wok. ![]() If you’re dealing with an old wok, you may need to scrub it with an abrasive cleaner. To remove this residue, you can either use baking soda or salt. This is caused by oxidization of the carbon steel. When you have a carbon steel wok, you may notice some black residue on it after a few uses. In fact, many people prefer to season their woks to create this black oxide layer, as it helps the wok to develop a non-stick surface. This is perfectly normal and not harmful. It’s common for carbon steel woks to have a black coating, but don’t worry – there are several ways to remove it.Ĭarbon steel woks will turn black with use because the steel reacts with oxygen in the air to form a black oxide layer on the wok’s surface. It is important to keep an eye on the Wok and immediately take action if it begins to turn black. Woks are made out of carbon steel, so if they turn black, they are still safe to use. ![]() This article will answer your questions about what’s causing this staining and how to remove it.Ĭarbon steel Woks can turn black if exposed to a high temperature for a long period. ![]() If your carbon steel wok has a black residue, you might wonder how to remove it.

and in true chandler-reading-p-doug fashion, i finished this in a day. Reading the synopsis (kinky and fucked up) and seeing the author (devour every book she writes) i knew i had to have this. "You ever going to tell me what you wish for?"īut I will say, I always wish for the same thing, and everyday it comes true." It was exhilarating, made me giddy, and was a perfect mix of everything I love in a book. I gobbled it up, not able to stop reading for a second. I’ve read a lot of Penelope Douglas books, and I have to say, Birthday Girl is my favorite of hers to date. This book had all this and more in spades. When there is push and pull and you are completely on the edge of your seat. I love when there is a great slow burn and the sexual tension is so freaking high your siting on pins and needles just waiting and waiting for that one moment… I love angst and when two people have undeniable chemistry, even when it’s obvious they shouldn’t. I love forbidden romance and taboo love stories. I’ve wanted her since the first time I saw her. “You’ve always watched me, haven’t you? Always wanted to have your fun with me.” I falter, knowing what she says is true. You just need to read it for yourself to see how this one turns out… The sparks between Pike and Jordan fly, even though neither one wants that. He’s a great man and wants to help out his son. ![]() He gets them in a bit of a tough spot and they end up moving in with Cole’s father, Pike. She may be only nineteen, but she’s a hard worker and wise beyond her years. Jordan is a strong and independent woman. This book was straight up addicting and I loved every minute! I wanted to slow down and enjoy the story, but I had to know what would happen. I stayed up till 4 am reading this book the night it landed on my kindle. I was bored reading this and only finished it because of the many people who loved it.īirthday Girl by Penelope Douglas blew me away! Once I read the synopsis for this book, I knew it would be one that I would drop everything to read. I personally think that girl should spend some time on her education, making friends, and to well grow up a little bit, like most 19 year olds.įinal thoughts.this book was too long, it dragged, I didn't connect with either of the characters, and I probably wont remember this book in a few days. I would have personally liked to see Jordan and Cole have some interaction on page after it all came out.Īs much, as Jordan annoyed me, she had so far had a shit life, and had been treated like dirt by all of the men in her life, including Pike a few times. I kind of thought it would have more of a love triangle, but Cole was written as a 2D douche, and rarely spent time with Jordan in the book, so it didn't really work like that. I guess the sex scenes were hot, except for the loofah scene! I mean I don't know what loofah's you use in the states, but here they are really rough and that shit would chafe! Ouch! Oh and the desk corner scene?!! WTAF?! Pike frequently spoke to Jordan as if she was his teenaged daughter! I got whiplash from going between scenes where he would first lust after her, to then reprimanding her! So creepy. Mainly though, I hated the way that they interacted with each other. It made me feel uncomfortable, and a bit like he took advantage of her. Jordan was staying rent free in Pike's house. ![]() She was an immature girl, who had been through some stuff. I found her whiny and annoying, with her tantrums and strops! It was meant to be written that she was mature because of the things she had been through, but it didn't really work. She was meant to be portrayed as this mature and somewhat perfect girl, but she actually did act her age of 19, and sometimes younger. I just didn't find it a believable relationship. I didn't really like this one that much.not necessarily because of the age gap my parents have almost 9 years between them, but because of the maturity of the characters, and their suitability for each other. I've been putting off this review because quite a few of my friends on here love this! Apologies to those of you who did love this, please don't be offended, different tastes and all that. ![]() Her motive for Harry's murder is he thwarted the cult's plans seventeen years ago and that killing him would fill Heather's heart full of hatred. Once she regains control of her emotions, Heather follows the blood trail to the apartment's rooftop where Claudia is waiting for her. Heather, shocked and speechless at her father being taken away from her so suddenly, rests on her father's lap and sobs heavily. Upon arriving at her home in the Daisy Villa Apartments, Heather discovers the body of her father, Harry Mason, slumped in his chair, having been brutally murdered. After the removal of the beast, Heather is brought back to the normal world and escapes the Hilltop Center. When Heather reaches the exit, she finds a monster called the Glutton blocking it she then finds scattered pages of a fairy tale which contains the words "Tu Fui, Ego Eris", which makes the monster disappear. After a brief conversation, she abandons him as well, voicing her beliefs that there is something wrong with him. ![]() Heather encounters a man named Vincent Smith, who is also a priest of the Order, but he has different views on where the cult should go. Inside Hilltop Center, Heather enters the nightmare realm once again. She takes the aforementioned subway to the underpass and fights her way through the sewer-like corridors until she reaches a construction site, which she uses to reach another building, the Hilltop Center, which is adjacent to the construction site through an open window. Heather even has a close call when she narrowly avoids being run over by a subway car. Heather transitions to Otherworld Hilltop Center.Īs with the mall, the subway is deserted, with the exception of the odd monster here and there. Heather leaves the bewildered man alone and enters the subway. ![]() However, Douglas stops her Heather assumes that the private investigator is on Claudia's side, but he tells her that he was only hired to find her. Once everything is back to normal, or at least seems to be, Heather heads for the subway so that she may return home. Even though she is frightened, she manages to make it back to the Real World after a battle with an enormous worm in the mall's depths. After riding the second elevator down, Heather then finds herself inside the Otherworld, a nightmare version of the mall. The elevator doors open up, revealing a second, more sinister-looking elevator that indicates a crossover into another reality. When Heather enters an elevator, its descent causes a radio to drop from the ceiling, which emits static whenever monsters are nearby. ![]() Heather then comes down with a serious migraine as Claudia leaves. Claudia tells Heather that her talents are required and to "remember me, and your true self as well", and that she will lead them to Paradise "with bloodstained hands". She is the high priestess of the Order, Claudia Wolf, who has been searching for Heather (or rather, Alessa Gillespie) for a long time. Heather's first encounter with Claudia Wolf.Īs Heather wanders through the mall, she encounters a barefoot woman dressed in all black with flowing blonde hair. Inside the mall, Heather realizes that there are strange monsters lurking around, and in a clothing store, Heather finds a handgun to defend herself with. She jumps out a window, but her way out is blocked on both ends, forcing her to find another way through the mall. Heather, thinking him to be a stalker, hides in a restroom. Just as she is leaving, however, Heather encounters a detective named Douglas Cartland, who was hired by a cult known as the Order to find her. She calls her father and lets him know that she is on her way home. After fighting her way past several monsters, Heather walks along the roller coaster's tracks until she is struck down by the roller coaster.Īfter the roller coaster incident in her nightmare, Heather wakes up in the mall. While running an errand for her father at the Central Square Shopping Center, Heather falls asleep inside a fast food restaurant and dreams about Silent Hill, where she finds herself wandering through a nightmarish amusement park. Harry took Heather into his care to raise as his own daughter. Seventeen years have passed since the events of the first game, and the baby whom the Incubator gave to Harry Mason at the end of the first game, Heather Mason, is now a teenage girl. The game is a direct sequel to the first game, although this is kept secret from the player for plot twist purposes. Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. ![]() Selection of a vendor is expected this year, officials said. Tollway officials expect processing expenses to become more efficient when the toll authority upgrades its electronic toll-collection system, with a goal to do so by 2015. Although revenues generated from the 3-cent transaction fees are about $750,000 per year, the actual cost to the Illinois Tollway to process the fees is about 6 cents per transaction, or $1.5 million annually, Abrams said. She pointed out that the full amount of the 3-cent transaction fee charged to I-Pass customers on the skyway and the Indiana Toll Road is remitted to the Illinois Tollway.īut Abrams said the Illinois Tollway "eats part of the cost" of processing toll transactions on the two toll roads. ![]() The I-Pass/E-ZPass transaction fees were "an unforeseen cost that were not factored into the leasing of the roads," she said. "While other toll roads may be able to adjust their tolls, the rates on the skyway and the Indiana Toll Road are restricted by the contracts," said the company's spokeswoman, who asked not to be identified by name. However, they have chosen instead to pass these costs on to their customers."Ī spokeswoman for the Indiana Toll Road Concession Company said it's not as simple as absorbing the costs. She said the Indiana Toll Road Concession Company "could decide to pay these customer service expenses as a cost of doing business and simply take less profit. "Most toll agencies around the nation, including the Illinois Tollway, absorb these customer service costs and factor them into the tolls they charge," Abrams said. The company initiated the 3-cent charge to cover the transaction fee the Illinois Tollway imposes for the costs of providing the company with services related to transponders, customer account maintenance and the customer call center, tollway officials said. The transaction fees are collected "to help offset certain costs associated with interoperability of the E-ZPass network," according to the Indiana Toll Road Concession Company, which is the private company that under long-term lease agreements operates the Indiana Toll Road for the state of Indiana and the skyway for the city of Chicago. The extra 3 cents that I-Pass customers pay on the two toll roads account for why drivers who scan their monthly I-Pass statements online may have noticed what appear to be odd charges, like $4.03 instead of $4 for driving on the skyway, and 53 cents instead of a 50-cent toll at various locations on the Indiana Toll Road. "Illinois, in effect, provides a large portion of the customer service costs" for the private company that operates the skyway and the Indiana Toll Road, Abrams said. The US Army Research Laboratory's dual MWIR/LWIR FPA used "red" and "blue" detectors to search for areas with enhanced emissivity. Disturbed soil has increased emissivity in the wavelength range of 8.5 to 9.5 micrometers while demonstrating no change in wavelengths greater than 10 micrometers. Surface and sub-surface soil possess different physical and chemical properties that appear in spectral analysis. Land mine detection īy analyzing the emissivity of ground surfaces, multispectral imaging can detect the presence of underground missiles. The US Army reports that its dual band LWIR/MWIR FPA demonstrated better visualizing of tactical vehicles than MWIR alone after tracking them through both day and night. ![]() Dual band MWIR and LWIR technology resulted in better visualization during the nighttime than MWIR alone. įor nighttime target detection, thermal imaging outperformed single-band multispectral imaging. Researchers claim that dual-band technologies combine these advantages to provide more information from an image, particularly in the realm of target tracking. However, LWIR operates better in hazy environments like smoke or fog because less scattering occurs in the longer wavelengths. Imaging systems that use MWIR technology function better with solar reflections on the target's surface and produce more definitive images of hot objects, such as engines, compared to LWIR technology. This reflection may misconstrue the true reading of the objects’ inherent radiation. Sometimes the surface of the target may reflect infrared energy. These signatures are less pronounced in hyperspectral systems (which image in many more bands than multispectral systems) and when exposed to wind and, more dramatically, to rain. Every material has an infrared signature that aids in the identification of the object. The brightness of the image produced by a thermal imager depends on the objects emissivity and temperature. Because mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and long wave infrared (LWIR) technologies measure radiation inherent to the object and require no external light source, they also are referred to as thermal imaging methods. This FPA allowed researchers to look at two infrared (IR) planes at the same time. In 2003, researchers at the United States Army Research Laboratory and the Federal Laboratory Collaborative Technology Alliance reported a dual band multispectral imaging focal plane array (FPA). Multispectral imaging measures light emission and is often used in detecting or tracking military targets. Hyperspectral imaging is a special case of spectral imaging where often hundreds of contiguous spectral bands are available. Multispectral imaging measures light in a small number (typically 3 to 15) of spectral bands. ![]() Multispectral imaging has also found use in document and painting analysis. Early space-based imaging platforms incorporated multispectral imaging technology to map details of the Earth related to coastal boundaries, vegetation, and landforms. It was originally developed for military target identification and reconnaissance. It can allow extraction of additional information the human eye fails to capture with its visible receptors for red, green and blue. ![]() The wavelengths may be separated by filters or detected with the use of instruments that are sensitive to particular wavelengths, including light from frequencies beyond the visible light range, i.e. Multispectral imaging captures image data within specific wavelength ranges across the electromagnetic spectrum. The bright yellow patches in other parts of the image are hollows.

![]() Solid concrete blocks form the lower half of the building, with concrete walls poured on top. Oversized steel support beams seated eight-feet deep in concrete footings frame the building. Construction workers removed wreckage and poured the foundation. The project team, commissioners, and county residents watched excitedly as the new station rose from the rubble. 1 was so important to the County, the commissioners decided to rebuild it … to 170 mph standards,” noted Andrew Baker, the County’s facilities director. ![]() With the new dedication to implement above-code construction, the Board added $449,500 for hardening measures. Encouraged by its team of designers, facility and project managers, and consultants, the Board voted to exceed the 130 mph codes required in Charlotte County when rebuilding all critical facilities.īefore Charley struck, the County budgeted $1.5 million to construct a new facility for Firehouse No. The Board of County Commissioners agreed with the Chief’s resolve to rebuild stronger. Reflecting on the $17.8 million in damages to the County’s public facilities and lost equipment, Chief Didio vowed, “We won’t let this much devastation happen to us again.” The building itself suffered more than a 75-percent loss. The veteran crew emerged from the battered building, surveyed the damage, readied their equipment for response, and set off to perform their duties to ensure the safety of residents. There was also a power failure.Īfter about 15 minutes, the worst of the storm passed and the winds died down. Dumpsters were airborne and sheared the air conditioning compressors and generators from their pedestals. Winds in excess of 140 miles per hour (mph), with gusts up to 180 mph, tore bay doors from their rails and ripped the roof from its rafters. 1, the crew of 14 crowded together in four shower stalls with mattresses over their heads, as fierce winds and flying debris assaulted the building. Hurricane Charley made landfall shortly after 4:15 p.m. With equipment and personnel in place, crews stationed around the county awaited the storm. The 40-year-old structure seemed strong, having weathered many previous storms. The station serves a highly populated and economically vital 2.5-square mile area of the county, and its crew responds to the majority of medical emergencies in the area. One such post, located north of the river on US 41, was Firehouse No.1. Reacting to Charley’s new path and increased severity, Charlotte County Fire Chief, Dennis Didio, a 20-year resident and veteran of the department, assigned response personnel to key posts to respond to the new storm information. This unanticipated change left residents and emergency response personnel with an approximately one-hour warning to prepare for wind speeds that Florida had not experienced since Hurricane Andrew over a decade earlier. PORT CHARLOTTE, FL - On August 13, 2004, Hurricane Charley intensified, veered from its predicted course, and smashed into Charlotte County at the mouth of the Peace River. ![]() Designed for first-time flyers, unaccompanied minors and those with cognitive and developmental disabilities, the app's goal is to ease the anxiety of air travel by walking guests through the steps they'll follow when getting ready to fly.

The mechanism by which they suppress downbeat nystagmus is unclear, although they might work by altering the firing of cerebellar Purkinje cells. Both drugs are well tolerated, although they can cause seizures (usually in patients with a predisposition to epilepsy who are given high dosages) and cardiac arrhythmias in patients with QT interval prolongation. 4-aminopyridine appears to be more effective than 3,4-diaminopyridine. 3,4-diaminopyridine and 4-aminopyridine have been shown to suppress downbeat nystagmus, although they are more effective in patients with cerebellar degenerations and less effective in those with focal cerebellar lesions. ![]() Recent trials have demonstrated that the aminopyridine potassium channel blockers are effective for downbeat nystagmus. However, a prospective double-masked trial showed that trihexyphenidyl produced only a modest improvement with significant side-effects. Anticholinergics have been suggested as a potential treatment. Gabapentin, now thought to act as an α2δ-1 calcium channel antagonist and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, did not consistently improve downbeat nystagmus in the same trial. Baclofen, a GABAB-agonist, was thought to suppress downbeat nystagmus, but did not produce a consistent benefit in a double-masked trial. Clonazepam, a GABAA-agonist, has been shown to improve downbeat nystagmus in two uncontrolled trials. Peripheral Vestibular Nystagmus Downbeat Nystagmusĭownbeat nystagmus is common and often causes disabling visual symptoms (e.g., vertical oscillopsia). Consequently, the patient is best managed with treatments directed towards the underlying disorder. The associated vertigo, nausea, and vomiting are often more distressing to the patient than are the visual symptoms from the nystagmus. In most cases, the nystagmus is short-lived or intermittent. Nystagmus can result from peripheral vestibular diseases, such as vestibular neuritis, Ménière’s disease, and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. ![]() Table 2: Drug Treatments for Acquired NystagmusĪbbreviations: bid, twice daily MS, multiple sclerosis OPT, oculopalatal tremor qid, four times daily tid, three times daily Nystagmus Type |
