How to mount ISO files in Windows Vista

MagicDisk01

Color Temperature of H4 Bulbs

colortempB Stock OEM halogen or incandescent bulbs are typically around 3200 Kelvin, which is a yellow light. High visibility  headlight bulbs range from 4000-5000 Kelvin, which is much brighter and whiter, increasing the rider's ability to see what's ahead of them as well as increasing visibility of the driver to oncoming traffic. You'll notice that some bulbs have written as "55=110W". This means that the bulbs technology allows them to get the equivalent of 110Watts of light out of a bulb that only uses 55Watts… energy saver.

Windows Live Writer and UTW Integration

Windows Live writer is a pretty descent Desktop Blogging application. Windows Live writer supports many blogging services including Blogger.com and Wordpress Hosted Blogs. I’m very used to use the wordpress Plugin ultimate tag warrior to tag my posts. In Windows live Writer you can post tags but integration with UTW is not present by default. There is a fairly simpler way to enable posting of UTW tags from Windows Live Writer while posting.
