I reject your purple

I spent a good chunk of last night and today working on these.





Basically its a nation at a glance, the area of the circles are relative to the number of electoral votes for each state. Viewing vote results this way does away with the vast expanses of emptiness, showing only the important bit of information, how important any given state is.

Sometimes I bleed

Anyone know how to go about bleeding radiators? Because I've been doing what I think is bleeding them, and it's not getting any warmer in here.

So to bleed brake lines, you build up pressure in the line, release air from the bleed valve, close it, then release the pressure, step, repeat.

Here's my understanding of radiators. Close all radiators but the one you are working on, to increase pressure to it. (are radiators in a series? I think ours are, so I'm starting with the one that has any warmth at all)
So here's what I am doing... hopefully correctly:

Close the radiator valve, open the bleed, release air, open the radiator, water might come out, close the bleed, close the radiator. step. repeat.
