designing electrical in house
I'm in the process of building a house (working on foundation right now) and I'm the gc. I'm going to be doing all the electrical myself. I'm trying to decide where I want to put plugs and switches, but I can't think of everywhere to put them. I don't want to have the house done and think, I wish I had put a plug here, or it would be nice to have a plug there (you can never have enough plugs). Can you give me some ideas on places to put plugs or run power to that someone wouldn't normally think of? Thanks
There are so many electrical receptacles (plugs are on the appliance cords) that are required by the electrical code that you only need to install additional ones where you expect to have more than normal appliance use and to add switches at other parts of a room for additional convenience. The most common places are the kitchen counters and at bedsides.
I would caution you to not attempt to wire your own house if you are not an electrician even if a license is not required in your area.
Our code requires a plug on any wall over X feet.
For me, it was having them where we needed without going over board (you can have too many). It was important for them to be located, for example, where a chest or table would be with a lamp. I like them hidden, so behind is my choice location.
Near floor lamp locations. In the great room, under the sofa, but not under the rug, for sofa table lamps.
Where will you charge cell phones, etc? Portable house phones.
Walk-in pantry?
Any closets? (If code permits.)
Convenient locations outdoors.
Near central vacuum outlets so you can plug in for carpet/rug attachment.
Garage to vacuum cars.
You really need to plan ahead and "see" how you are going to live in the house and where furniture, etc will be located.
Don't forget to take into consideration door swings - don't want a switch being behind a door.
If you dont know the codes, (N.E.C), for your project and how to safely wire your home, as MACV states, you would be wise to give it up to a reputable, licensed professional. Things such as arc faults in bedrooms, island cabinet receptacle requirements, receptacles no more than every 12',(everywhere), GFCI's in kitchen, laundry, baths, exterior, garages, breaker size rquirements, etc, etc etc....
Our electrician let me give him a hand as a "grunt" which saved a little time and money and was a learning experience. Even at that, not enough of a lesson to go out and wire my own project, it's like most any trade, it takes experience and you need to be up on the current codes.
Should also state that the "design" process is way more involved than box placement. It starts at the panel, size and breakers needed, meter and incoming wire gauge concerns, ( your local utility's part of the show), according to the loads and layout of your home.
I live in a rural area with no codes. I've got to figure out the electrical (plug placement, lights, etc.) to figure out what size breakers and panel to use. I'm not new to electrical and I've got a friend and father-in-law that are both electricians to help me and double check my work. I'm doing most of the work, but my father-in-law is hooking up the panel box for me. Thanks
"I live in a rural area with no codes".
You'd be wise to study up on the N.E.C. for residential
Here is a link that might be useful: 2011 n.e.c. book on amazon
here are some ideas and example uses that worked for me:
all closets - clothing and utlity (e.g. charging portable vacumn, paper shredder)
utility room cabinets (wireless phone docking station)
below all windows on front of house, first & second floors (for plug in candles)
close to fireplace mantles (xmas lights)
dedicated circuit with switched outlet for indoor xmas tree location
outdoor outlets: top outlet dedicated switched 20A circuit (outdoor Xmas lights), bottom outlet always on with seperate 20 Amp circuit (power tools)
built in cabinets or locations where where TVs, computers, or printers will be placed
dedicated circuit with outlet for garage refrigerator
attic (for extension lights)
dedicated 20 amp circuit with switched outlet in garage for future low voltage ooutdoor lighting
at front gate 600 feet from house (power tools to install gate, future night light)
near each HVAC indoor unit (humidifiers)
inside master bathroom cabinets: 1 his, 1 hers (electric tooth brush charger)
dedicated circuit in cabinet for below butler pantry sink (on demand hot water generator)
locations where a table lamp woud be placed
All of these were in addition to the minimum code requirements.
Not about outlets, but...I wish I did NOT have so many recessed ceiling cans throughout the house. (Like in the corners of the DR, LR, MBR -- and over the bed in the MBR! Or those in the slants of catherdral ceilings -- too high to add light to the room.) Think about sconces and 'washing' any vaulted ceilings with light from below.
Take an inventory of everything inside and outside of your house and garage that uses electricity or needs charging.
"receptacles no more than every 12',(everywhere"
Not an NEC requirement.
Hallways are only required to have a single receptacle, and kitchen-wall counter spaces are required every 48 inches.
The kitchen wall-counter receptacles must be on the two (or more) required 20 amp small appliance branch circuits that can only supply receptacles in kitchens, pantries, and dining areas (no lighting on those circuits).
Bathrooms require a 20 amp circuit also.
There are some books available that can help guide you through all the rules and requirements.
None of it is particularly hard, just detailed.
QUOTE "I live in a rural area with no codes."
Unless you live in the state of Montana that statement is untrue.
While there are many regions that have no local codes or code enforcements such as permits and code inspections, that does not mean to imply that there are no codes. Legally it comes down to the AHJ (authority having jurisdiction). If your community has not adopted a code the AHJ is then the county, and in those instances where the county has not adopted a code the AHJ is then the state, with the singular exception of the state of Montana, which has no codes.
While I am sure someone can find the exception that proves the rule, generally for electrical the AHJ's have adopted the NEC (National Electrical Code), but be careful here. In the NEC it will often list a rule with a number of options. Generally even though the local code is based upon the NEC the state or local code will define which of those options is to be used in your region and in some instances the local code will have requirements above and beyond the basics listed in the NEC.
Now you may take the argument that you have no local code or code enforcement, therefore you are not overly concerned with code requirements but that may come home to haunt you later. By example;
In some rural areas in the state of Ohio the only permit and inspection required for a single family residential structure is to install a septic tank. Given that they are lacking any form of permits or inspections many home owner/builders and sadly far too many fly by night wannabee contractors are simply using whatever spit & glue technique that seems to suit their level of ambition or budget, but then, with no inspector who is to know how you built the house? Who cares if you have 2x4 floor joists so long as you have genuine Italian marble counter tops? It's only those parts that we can see that really matter anyway, right?
WRONG; This attitude has gotten so far out of hand that the courts are overwhelmed with liability suites and insurance rates have skyrocketed.
My sister is a real estate agent in Ohio and she told me that since the bank shakeup many banks simply refuse to issue a mortgage on any structure that has not passed a code inspection. She then showed me a list of over 500 homes in here county alone that must be listed as "Cash Only-NO Mortgage due to non-compliance"
In addition, many insurance companies have hired their own inspectors and sent out notices that they will not renew a homeowners policy until the structure passes a code inspection. Just two years ago I had to completely re-plumb my Mothers house so she could renew her homeowners insurance.
Just over the line in Mercer County Pennsylvania the lack of code enforcement became such an issue that they passed a law requiring all landlords to be registered with the county and all rental properties in Mercer County must be code inspected once a year. If it doesn't pass code you may not offer it as a rental space until it is upgraded to code standard.
"Generally even though the local code is based upon the NEC the state or local code will define which of those options is to be used in your region and in some instances the local code will have requirements above and beyond the basics listed in the NEC".
Such as receptacles in most rooms other than the kitchen, bath, laundry, etc. where there are other requirements being no more than 12' apart in our area.
We paid for it, but in the bedrooms, office, living room, dining room, and rec room, we had outlets every 8' instead of every 12'. For the master bedroom, we placed them based on where we knew the bed would go. We didn't know for the other rooms, but we've been in the house 3.5 years--and every 8' (instead of every 12') has been GREAT.
We also have an outlet in our master bedroom linen cabinet. We use it to keep our electric toothbrush chargers out of sight.
I'm doing my own electric, I do have experience in this, and I do have an electrician doing the panel boiler and a few other items.
if you don't know the code, you're going to have trouble. if there are no codes enforced where you are... thats fine, as long as you really know what you are doing...
code requires you be no more than 6 feet from a receptical in all general living areas, so that means practically speaking, every 12 feet.
I'd figure on at least 1 on every wall in bedrooms dining rooms etc. think of furnature placement. I have a wall in the dining room where the outlet is exactly where you would put a hutch. great for lighting the hutch, but you're out of luck if you want to plug something in.
generally in the bedrooms, I keep them away the windows, closer to the corners. since I did it myself, I did a few more than code as it didn't really cost anything. in BRs if you have a queen bed think about an outlet on either side of the bed for lamps etc. all BRs on Arc fault breakers.
remember the connected smoke detector circuit.
dining room code requirement is 20amp circuts, kitchen on 20amp circuts every 4 feet. plus dedicated outlets for stove, refridgerator, microwave, line for dishwasher.
some of it is common sense, some of it isn't (but is correct) and some of it is stupid and required.
I could go on and on about guess my point is, there is a lot to know. if you don't know it, you need to figure out a way to get the info, or hire a pro.
I knew how to wire, but still read 2 books, and had to take a test in order to wire my own house. I still have an electrician for some things and his cell number if I have a question. if I were you I'd start talkin to your father in law and friend.
also regarding the panel, most homes by me are run with a 200amp panel. larger is excessive unless you have a very large house, smaller isn't much cheaper, and you can easily run our of space on a 100amp panel with the required circuits.
It is often important to be aware that the actual requirement for the minimum spacing of typical receptacles is not "every 12 feet" but "installed so that no point measured horizontally along the floor line in any wall space is more than 6 ft. from a receptacle outlet.
The wall space rules are also stated differently than commonly quoted so it is important to refer back to the actual wording.
Even electricians sometimes forget what the code actually says.
In keeping with what macv stated, for general lighting outlets you begin at a doorway and measure along the baseboard. There must be one outlet within 6' of the doorway, then a minimum of every 12' around the room. If there is a short wall between two doors that is equal to or greater than 24" wide you are required an outlet. The intent of the code is simple, no matter where you place furnishings along the wall they shall be no further than 6' from an outlet. If the short wall space between doors exceeds 24" it is conceivable that someone might place a small table there with a lamp and you may not run a cord past a doorway, so they require the outlet.
As has been mentioned above, code is very specific about outlets in the kitchen & bath. There are also some other outlets that most people are unaware of. If you have a water heater installed in an attic space code requires both a permanent light fixture and an outlet in the immediate vicinity of the installation and the light must be controlled by a switch that is within 3' of the entrance to the attic space.
I am not certain if it is in the NEC yet, but most local codes now require an outdoor outlet in the immediate vicinity of your HVAC condensing unit (this is to permit operating electrical tools while servicing the unit).
Now keep in mind that the code only establishes the minimums that would be found in a contractor grade turn key house, whereas you are custom building your home. Once you have the layout for the code minimums you should examine your lifestyle and install the extras that meet your personal needs. By example, I am into Amateur Radio (Ham Radio)and I have a small room about 6' x 10' where I have both my radio and computer equipment. I have a 220v circuit for my 1500watt linear amplifier and 18 120v outlets in this room for my radios, computers, printers and other equipment yet in the real world it is still not enough..LOL.
Do you have a formal dining room? How about a floor outlet to permit using an electric serving appliance on the table? Additional outlets for serving appliances on a side buffet?
Although I am not into the exterior Christmas lighting thing, never the less, for those who are, they can tell you first hand that having dedicated outlets under the eaves that can be switched from indoors are invaluable.
Do you have a sewing room, craft room or workshop area? Consider what types of equipment you will be using there.
While code requires a minimum of one exterior outlet, I have one on all four sides of the house.
I also have switches in the kitchen to close the garage doors and turn the garage and tool shed lights off.
The bottom line, code defines the minimum requirements but only you know what will meet the needs of your lifestyle.
"Generally even though the local code is based upon the NEC the state or local code will define which of those options is to be used in your region and in some instances the local code will have requirements above and beyond the basics listed in the NEC"
There are very few "options" in the NEC.
Some jurisdictions adopt it completely, others make additions or deletions.
The local AHJ should have a write up of the local changes/exceptions available.
It got so out of hand in Virginia that a Uniform Statewide Code was adopted, and NO jurisdiction is allowed to make ANY changes to the state code.
There are still occasionally differences in interpretation, but even those appear to have declined lately.

User-Lab to Run Web Accessibility Training for Managers
07 April, 2005, West Midlands, UK
User-Lab to Run Web Accessibility Training for Managers
User-Lab to Run Web Accessibility Training for CEOs, CIOs, IT Managers and Webmasters
User-Lab, not-for profit, design and research centre http://www.user-lab.com, is organising a web accessibility training event at its lab at the Birmingham Institute of Art & Design (BIAD) http://www.biad.uce.ac.uk/ in Birmingham.
The event, entitled Web Accessibility Training, will be held on 23 June, 2005 and run from 10:00 until 16:00. It is designed to arm IT managers and webmasters with the knowledge and practical skills needed to evaluate and specify website accessibility. On completion of the day delegates will be issued with an academically recognised certificate of attendance.
John Knight, Director at User-Lab explains, "This training provides a unique combination of technical expertise, legal insight and cutting edge research. Trainers include experts from the private, public and academic sectors who have a wealth of experience in accessibility. User-Lab has run successful accessibility events over the last four years, with unanimous positive feedback on the quality of training provided. Previous attendees include representatives of the Office of The Prime Minister and the Birmingham City Council."
The Web Accessibility Training event will include a technical overview of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), a demonstration of auditing tools and access technology, guidelines for specifying site builds and quality tips and checkpoints. At the end of the training, delegates will be able to specify, manage and audit sites in compliance with the DDA.
Website owners will receive a free Accessibility Toolkit when they subscribe to this one day training event.
John Knight continues, "Accessibility and the DDA go a lot deeper than people realise. It asks organisations to consider users and make 'reasonable adjustments'. It's important that website owners understand that an accessible website does not make an organisation compliant. They need to consider their policy and procedures as a whole and how their website fits into their overall commercial offering. This is where User-Lab and training events such as this one can make a real and tangible difference."
The training is provided in conjunction with Royal National Institute of the Blind (RNIB) and ECOTEC Research & Consulting and The Centre for Accessible Environments.

Saint James Paris, France
You like your vacations to be a little bit country and a little bit rock 'n' roll. Well, it just so happens that the hottest number in Paris these days also happens to be its most sylvan: The freshly refurbished Saint James is a little slice of Loire château life in the City of Lights.
Set on the site of the world's first hot-air balloon launch, in 1783, this 19th-century property is all high-flying whimsy, thanks to boho goddess Bambi Sloan's redesign. A riot of patterns--toile and stripes, brocade and herringbone--lends a playful decadence to the 48 rooms. As a hotel guest, you can rub elbows with tony locals at the Saint James's private social club, or visit the luxurious spa that has gemstones as its theme. And after an exhausting day of shopping and Champagne sipping, where better to escape the flurry of Paris than the hotel's perfectly manicured gardens, hidden away behind mature trees?

Toro Rosso STR9 - cooling solutions 17 March 2014
The new 2014 power units mean all the teams have had to increase their cars' radiator cooling, leading to some quite complex layouts. Toro Rosso's is unique, with two oil radiators (1) cooled by a duct behind the driver's head (a solution that raises the car's centre of gravity), water radiators (2), intercoolers (3) (quite a heavy solution, but one with superior cooling results), and an accumulator (4) to manage the water temperature. Missing in this drawing is the pipe (5) that connects the turbocharger and the intercooler. Also shown is the wastegate (6) used should the turbo go into safety mode.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- UBS increased its price target on AECOM Technology (ACM - Get Report) to $33 and set a "neutral" rating. The firm noted stabilizing growth as the company passes the trough in North America and Australia.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. ---------- Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates AECOM TECHNOLOGY CORP as a "buy" with a ratings score of B. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate AECOM TECHNOLOGY CORP (ACM) a BUY. This is driven by a number of strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, attractive valuation levels, good cash flow from operations and increase in stock price during the past year. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- AECOM TECHNOLOGY CORP reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, AECOM TECHNOLOGY CORP turned its bottom line around by earning $2.36 versus -$0.57 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($2.55 versus $2.36).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and greatly outperformed compared to the Construction & Engineering industry average. The net income increased by 48.0% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $38.11 million to $56.40 million.
- Compared to where it was 12 months ago, the stock is up, but it has so far lagged the appreciation in the S&P 500. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 104.78% to $137.39 million when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite an increase in cash flow of 104.78%, AECOM TECHNOLOGY CORP is still growing at a significantly lower rate than the industry average of 206.20%.

If you're sitting around the campfire at night and you hear a lonesome wail, it's probably one of three things: 1) the distinctive, plaintive call of a coyote; 2) someone in your camp sitting on a wayward fork; or 3) you're not in Montana at all—you're lost in the woods surrounding Burkittsville, Maryland without a map. (Our only gratuitous Blair Witch reference on this entire site; we promise.)
Canis latrans
If you're lucky, it's a coyote. Known for their high-pitched yodeling and yips, coyotes are the most easily recognized symbol of the west. But even though you may hear them often, they're not so easy to see; they typically avoid human contact in the wild. Coyotes are incredibly adaptable, which explains why you can find them all across Montana in varying habitats—everything from high mountain timber to flat plains.
Coyotes may hunt on their own, or in family packs. Ordinarily, they rely on small mammals for food in the summer months and feed on larger animals in the winter. They are opportunistic hunters, dining on everything from grasshoppers to deer. Unfortunately, some develop a taste for sheep or cattle, which has created many conflicts with ranchers throughout the state.
Coyote litters, born in the spring, average about six pups (but may be as many as ten). Females use the same den year after year, in rocky out-croppings, brush piles or holes in riverbanks. Coyotes are monogamous and family focused; they mate for several years and sometimes life. The fathers actively help raise the pups by bringing food to the nursing mother and pups. Later, they help teach the pups to hunt. Young coyotes will stay with their littermates and parents for about nine months before setting off on their own.

1. The Finest of Vintages
The elf tastes the sample I offer him and wrinkles his nose in disgust. I count to three, reminding myself I need to cater to the Wood-elves' trade. Without them, I would sell far less wine here in Esgaroth. He is the leader of the small group come to buy from me today, so I must try to be deferential despite his overbearing attitude. When my husband still lived, they were noticeably more polite to him. Apparently, they do not feel the need to treat his widow as decently, despite my inheriting his wine business.
"What kind is this?" he demands.
"It is a dry white wine made from Cascade grapes, crisp and clean," I reply patiently.
"Too dry and crisp, lady—King Thranduil prefers his wines red, rich and sweet. Have you any more barrels of the wine of Dorwinion? That is His Majesty's very favorite vintage to serve at feasts, as you well know."
"I have only four barrels of it in my stock, and they are already bespoken by a merchant here who wishes to celebrate his daughter's marriage in style, now that the dragon is dead."
The elf raises an eyebrow—odd how such a little thing can convey such arrogance. "And has this man paid you for them yet?"
I pause for a second. "No, he has not," I concede reluctantly.
"Then I daresay you can advise him that those with gold in hand purchased them, and that he will have to serve another wine at the wedding feast."
"Especially since you will be in still more trouble if you cannot replace what the guards drank up—isn't that right, Galion? Not to mention how those dwarves made rather a fool of you and the guards too," says one of his companions with droll wit. Galion flushes angrily as I stifle a tiny smile. The story of the dwarves' escape from the Elvenking's dungeons has spread, and been a source of mirth for those of us tired of the elves' stiff-necked pride.
"Well, woman, shall you sell the barrels to us?" he demands.
I look him up and down, making him flush again. "I might," I say carefully, measuring my words, "but then again, I would be more inclined to do so if you could muster a little courtesy when you ask me."
"You find me impolite? We can always take our trade elsewhere and spare you our rudeness then," he snaps.
I open my mouth, on the verge of succumbing to the urge to tell him to be gone, but a smooth voice cuts into the conversation before I can speak.
"Come now, Galion, there is no need to use such harsh language with a lady."
I turn to the speaker in surprise. He is the one fair-haired elf in the group, with a much younger looking face than his friends as well. He also is the handsomest being I have seen in many a moon, elf or man, with brilliant blue-grey eyes. My age does not prevent my heart from beating a touch faster as he bows his head to me. I tell myself not to be a silly goose and return the salute. He gives me a charming smile as he speaks again; I am glad to see Galion beating a rapid retreat from us.
"Surely, mistress, there is some way we can resolve matters to our mutual benefit. You wish to sell wine, and we wish to buy. I understand that you must please your other customers, but we are the ones who buy the largest numbers of barrels from you each month. I have no desire to end our connection with you because of some unnecessary high-handedness." He smiles afresh; I begin to suspect he is deliberately seeking to cozen me, but decide to play along for the time being.
"And I thank you for that, my kind sir. But the merchant is an old friend of my late husband's, and not easily disappointed. I should hate to end my friendship with him over this, merely to satisfy another customer's passing whims and worries." I wait to see how he answers that.
"Too true, but I can assure you that my father's passion for Dorwinion wine is no idle fancy, and that we will pay you very well if you sell it to us," he says with studied casualness.
I stare at him. "Your father?" I ask, startled.
He gives me another bow, far more sweeping than the first. "Legolas, Prince of Mirkwood, at your service, lady. King Thranduil is indeed my adar, and it would make him very happy to drink your wine—he has always thought highly of the quality of your goods, I promise you."
I am astonished, for I did not imagine that the King's own son would come to Esgaroth on such an errand, though I have heard something of him from the younger women here, so I ought not to be surprised at it. I had dismissed their sighs over his looks as girls' vaporings, but I can see now they were not exaggerating. I give myself another mental shake, for I am too old to let my head be turned by anyone's pretty face, elven prince or not—I have a business to run, after all. I cock my head and think for a moment.
"It might be possible," I say slowly, "to compromise by selling you two barrels of the Dorwinion, and keeping the other two for my friend. I could then guarantee you the very first selection from my new shipment."
"And that is due when?"
"In two weeks."
He is silent, and then says, "That will suit, I believe . . . it is not likely we will drink both barrels before then. What is your price?"
"Ninety gold pieces for each, for it is a rare wine and difficult to obtain."
"So I have been told before. Fair enough." He motions to Galion, who hands him a bulging purse. He pulls out the coins without a murmur, placing them in my hands firmly. I slide them into my placket, ignoring the weight. He gestures at some of the barrels of Cascade wine and clears his throat delicately.
"As a further favor to me, might you consider including one or two of these in the price for the others? Unlike my adar, I do enjoy white wines."
"I don't know . . ." I say dubiously. "That would be quite a favor, for I normally get thirty gold pieces a barrel for them."
"Ten pieces each, perhaps?" His smile is even more dazzling than earlier, and I finally capitulate, worn out by the effort to resist his charm.
"Very well, that would be fine."
He gives me the additional coins, and then all the elves, including Prince Legolas, roll the barrels down the dock to the raft they sailed along the lakeshore. I watch as they lash them to the boards with rope, arranging them to balance the load. The prince says something inaudible to the others, and hurries back to me.
"I thank you profusely, mistress. I shall be returning in two weeks to conduct more business with you." He takes my hand and bows again; I blush like a fool.
"I look forward to selling wine to you again, Your Highness," I say, ducking my head to mask my burning cheeks.
He bounds onto the raft, and they cast off, pushing with long poles. I admire the ripple of muscles in Prince Legolas' back, and find myself hoping he does return soon. I may have silvered hair and a plump body, but even an old widow can dream, can't she?

US makes Bitcoin exchange arrests after Silk Road closure
The operators of two exchanges for the virtual currency Bitcoin have been arrested in the US.
The Department of Justice said Robert Faiella, known as BTCKing, and Charlie Shrem from BitInstant.com have both been charged with money laundering.
The authorities said the pair were engaged in a scheme to sell more than $1m (£603,000) in bitcoins to users of online drug marketplace the Silk Road.
The site was shut down last year and its alleged owner was arrested.
Mr Shrem, 24, was arrested on Sunday at New York's JFK airport. He was expected to appear in court on Monday, prosecutors said.
Mr Faiella, 52, was arrested on Monday at his home in Cape Coral, Florida.
Bitcoin exchanges are services that allow users to trade bitcoins for traditional currencies.
Mr Shrem is accused of allowing Mr Faiella to use BitInstant to purchase large quantities of bitcoins to sell on to Silk Road users who wanted to anonymously buy drugs.
Bitcoin is often referred to as a new kind of currency.
But it may be better to think of its units as being virtual tokens that have value because enough people believe they do and there is a finite number of them.
Each bitcoin is represented by a unique online registration number.
These numbers are created through a process called "mining", which involves a computer solving a difficult mathematical problem with a 64-digit solution.
Each time a problem is solved the computer's owner is rewarded with bitcoins.
To receive a bitcoin, a user must also have a Bitcoin address - a randomly generated string of 27 to 34 letters and numbers - which acts as a kind of virtual postbox to and from which the bitcoins are sent.
Since there is no registry of these addresses, people can use them to protect their anonymity when making a transaction.
These addresses are in turn stored in Bitcoin wallets, which are used to manage savings. They operate like privately run bank accounts - with the proviso that if the data is lost, so are the bitcoins contained.
The authorities said Mr Shrem was aware that the bitcoins were being used for such purchases, and therefore he was in violation of the Bank Secrecy Act.
The Act requires financial institutions in the US to alert authorities to any suspicious activity that may suggest money laundering is taking place.
Emily Spaven, managing editor of news site Coindesk, told the BBC: "Since the closure of Silk Road and arrest of alleged owner Ross Ulbricht, we always knew more arrests would follow.
"It is unfortunate Silk Road continues to make the headlines in association with Bitcoin - this is the dark side of Bitcoin, which the vast majority of digital currency users have no association with."
'Feigning ignorance'Following the arrests, James Hunt, from the US Drug Enforcement Agency, said in a statement: "Hiding behind their computers, both defendants are charged with knowingly contributing to and facilitating anonymous drug sales, earning substantial profits along the way.
"Drug law enforcement's job is to investigate and identify those who abet the illicit drug trade at all levels of production and distribution, including those lining their own pockets by feigning ignorance of any wrong doing and turning a blind eye."
Mr Shrem was a founding member and vice chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation, a trade group set up to promote Bitcoin as an alternative currency - but following his arrest he has since resigned.
"We are surprised and shocked by the news," said a spokesman for the organisation.
"As a foundation, we take these allegations seriously and do not condone illegal activity."
BitInstant was one of the largest Bitcoin exchanges on the internet.
However, the service has been inaccessible for some time, explained Mike Hearn, another member of the Bitcoin Foundation.
"Charlie's impact on the Bitcoin community has been hovering near zero for a long time now," Mr Hearn told the BBC via email.
"If the allegations are true, it's part of a phase of Bitcoin's life that the project is rapidly leaving behind (and good riddance)."
'Deeply concerned'BitInstant's investors include Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss - the twins who previously sued Mark Zuckerberg claiming he had stolen their idea for Facebook.
In a statement issued to the BBC, the twins said: "When we invested in BitInstant in the fall of 2012, its management made a commitment to us that they would abide by all applicable laws - including money laundering laws - and we expected nothing less.
"We are obviously deeply concerned about [Mr Shrem's] arrest. We were passive investors in BitInstant and will do everything we can to help law enforcement officials.
"We fully support any and all governmental efforts to ensure that money laundering requirements are enforced, and look forward to clearer regulation being implemented on the purchase and sale of bitcoins."

Housing prices fluctuate from year to year. Inflation, interest rates and the general economic climate all play a role. If demand for homes is high, interest rates are attractive and properties are selling quickly, then average housing prices will rise. If the market softens and homes take longer to sell, then market values will go down.
Be especially aware of market conditions if you plan to own your home for a short time (1-3 years). If the prices dip and you have to sell before they recover, you may lose money on your investment.
Average house prices vary widely depending on where you plan to live and the type of dwelling. RBC has information on Canadian Housing, housing trends and affordability to help you stay informed.

Does this sound like a good deal if it all works, etc?Kegerator kcstrom
I suppose the question is whether or not his fitting are what you need. Most of the kegerators people around here sell are designed for sankey fittings. If you are not using those then you'll need to buy the appropriate fittings (more money). Second question is how old is the refrigerator and do you feel like buying an older less efficient appliance that might cost more in the long run to operate. I think you could probably go cheaper if you kept looking for the refrigeration separate, but it's not a TERRIBLE deal by any means. I opted for a chest freezer and a collar and could not be happier right now. Sure the chest freezer was $180 but it's more efficient than a lot of the ones I had been seeing. Finally, you never know when the compressor will go on an old fridge. I originally bought a chest freezer off craigslist and it worked for 4 months then died. Sucked.
Well you get the deposit for the keg and a co2 bottle, which aren't quite worth $175 so it depends on whether you can use the fridge. If the fridge works but isn't quite what you want for a kegerator, you could use the fridge for fermentation and buy something else for serving and you still have c02, regulator and the deposit for the keg. The half barrel tower kegerators come up on KC craigslist fairly regularly if you would rather have something like that.
Go to his house, in person, and check it out. Don't bring any more cash then you are willing to shell out. If everything looks good, offer him $100. Make sure to mention that you can't use the fittings, etc. It's an a$$hole move, but people are much more likely to compromise on their price when you are there with cash in hand. Most of the time, they just want to get rid of it and make a few bucks. He will probably counter with $150, so offer $140. It takes a bit of courage, but I used to work in sales. If the fridge sucks, resell it for $75 or something. I have done this on Craigslist many times. People tend to want to sell a bunch of items for X amount of money. Act interested, show up in person and lowball the hell out of them. Chances are you can get a 30% discount, then resell the items you don't need, individually, and you can pocket the stuff you wanted for next to nothing in the longrun.

Peabody Victoria's Secret robbed of 72 bras
Larceny latest in 9 thefts from store
Peabody police are investigating the theft of almost $4,000 worth of women's undergarments from the Victoria's Secret at the Northshore Mall.
The pilfering of 72 bras worth $52 each reported Thursday is the latest of nine thefts from the store since April, but may be the biggest.
The Salem News reports that a store employee contacted police around 1 p.m. Thursday to report the theft.
The store reported the loss of $1,500 of merchandise just a week ago. Before that, it reported that 60 bras had been stolen in the days before July 16, and on June 9 "another high-volume panty larceny" had occurred.
In another incident in May, store workers say 165 pairs of underwear had been stolen.
There have been no arrests in any of the thefts.

The Flies Freedom and Confinement Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Quote #7
If only it would start! What are they up to, those palace folk? They're never in a hurry, and it's all this waiting gets one down, what with the blazing sun and only that big black stone to look at. Just think! They're all there, crowded behind the stone, gloating over the cruel things they're going to do to us. (2.1.13)
Anticipation is worse than the ceremony itself because there are no actual dead. It's all in their heads.
Quote #8
It's bitter pain for him, poor fellow, and all his love has turned to hate. Presently I'll feel him coiling around me, like a wisp of smoke, and he'll cling to me more closely than any living man has ever clung. I'll bring him home with me, wound round my neck like a tippet. (2.1.15)
Sartre very skillfully gives us a glimpse into the status quo in Argos – we get to see what the average citizens think and feel on a daily basis. They are consumed by fear and guilt and are essentially prisoners to their remorse.

Rome's bid to host the 2020 Olympics was pulled due to economic uncertainty, according to Prime Minister Mario Monti.
Rome has pulled itself out of the race to host the 2020 Olympics after Prime Minister Mario Monti said it would be "irresponsible," according to BBC News.
The prime minister said they could give no guarantee to finance putting on the event, which has an estimated cost of $12.5 billion. The decision, unanimously made by the cabinet, comes one day before the deadline for cities to submit bids.
"As you can imagine the government has spent much time reflecting upon this decision," Monti said to BBC News.
More from GlobalPost: Six cities, including Baku, bid to host 2020 Olympics
According to the Daily Mail, Rome pulling its bid gives a big boost to Doha, Qatar, one of the other cities vying to host the prestigious sporting event, along with Madrid, Istanbul and Baku, Azerbaijan.
Doha does not have the financial difficuties of some of the other bidders, reports the Daily Mail. The city is also set to host the soccer World Cup two years after the games in 2022.

Welcome to
African & Middle Eastern Inspired Bedspreads from Linden Jane A new soft furnishing trend usually results in many of us having identical items in our homes. I rather like to be different and dare I say it, unique! I fell in love with Batik pictures when in The Gambia. The first one I purchased came from the Bird Safari Camp in Georgetown - a few hundred kilometres in land. I bought it mainly as a momento after being capsized in the river in one of their boats! Now I tour the market stalls and factories, both in The Gambia and Senegal, for these stunning pictures.
I have tried to capture something of the beautiful tomb paintings and hieroglyphics we saw in the Valley of the Kings. These designs have been handpainted on to fabrics purchased from Egypt and various other sources around the world. |

Blue Fire
Image courtesy STEREO/ESA/NASA
Resembling a fiery blue marble, the sun is captured in this dramatic extreme-ultraviolet-light image by NASA's STEREO spacecraft on September 27.
While the sun is at its maximum level of activity on its 11-year sunspot cycle, its surface the past month appears strangely quiet, with few solar storms and nearly no brighter active regions.
Astronomers theorize that this solar cycle's maximum may in fact be a double peak and that we are between peaks now. They also think that both sunspot and storm activity may pick up later this fall or in the winter early next year.

Download the Word version of "Work with the Media" (1,093 KB).
Building relationships with members of the media is essential to the success of National Recovery Month (Recovery Month). The term "media" refers to the mass means of communication that reach many people through different channels, including broadcast, print, web, and other social media platforms.
Media outreach and the resulting coverage will increase awareness of events and highlight community efforts focused on mental and/or substance use disorders. Each September, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) (http://www.samhsa.gov), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) (http://www.hhs.gov), sponsors Recovery Month. This national observance increases awareness and understanding of mental and substance use disorders, and promotes the message that behavioral health is essential to health, prevention works, treatment is effective, and people recover.
This document includes the basics of media outreach, including tips on speaking with the media and creating long-term relationships.
Back to top
To begin, it is important to differentiate your Recovery Month event from other activities in the area since members of the media receive many requests to attend and cover events.
When determining the focus of your media outreach, use the following factors to increase your chances of coverage:
After establishing the key, newsworthy aspects of your event, identify the appropriate outlets and reporters to contact. To find out who has covered behavioral health topics, set up Google Alerts (http://www.google.com/alerts) online, which notify you when news on a certain topic is published. Google Blog Search (http://www.google.com/blog-search) is a useful tool to find bloggers, and social media may be useful in engaging the media.
It is helpful to keep your media contacts' information organized and accessible. Media lists are best created in a spreadsheet database program. Once you have identified a potential contact, include the following information in your spreadsheet:
Once the list is complete, reach out to reporters via phone or email, depending on each contact's individual preferences. Reporters often have time limitations, so keep the message short when "pitching" the event. Refer to the end of this document for sample pitches and phone scripts.
Bloggers tend to respond to people they have engaged with previously, so it may be beneficial to send an introductory email to the blogger to break the ice and develop a relationship. Once a relationship is established, follow up with details of the Recovery Month event.
Likewise, when "pitching" reporters, start with an introduction and then ask about their availability. Don't be discouraged if a journalist is short with you or in a hurry. Instead, offer to call back at a different time or connect with a colleague who may be interested in talking about the event.
After the conversation, thank each media contact for his or her time and exchange contact information to set expectations for potential follow-up. Also, offer to send event materials (such as a promotional flyer) for further details. Confirm by email or phone if they will attend.
Reporters who cover an event may request an interview with the host, a speaker, or key member of the host organization. If your team is presented with an opportunity to be interviewed by a member of the media, prepare for the discussion in advance. Research the interested media contact and anticipate the types of questions that may be asked. To best answer the questions, familiarize yourself with the event and all supplementary materials. Finally, practice answering questions with a peer or colleague.
The day before the interview, confirm the logistics and anticipated length of the interview. Whether your interview will be in-person or on the phone, always be professional and polite. Keep in mind that the goal of the interview is to communicate Recovery Month key messages, event details, and describe the importance of prevention, treatment, and recovery support services in the local area.
The following tips may also be useful in an interview:
For a successful in-person interview, remember to maintain eye contact, sit up straight, control hand movements, demonstrate enthusiasm and genuine feelings in your voice, and dress professionally. For a successful phone interview, be sure to prepare by rehearsing and drafting notes. Find a quiet place to hold the call, convey a friendly tone in your voice, and ask follow-up questions if needed.
When speaking with the media, it may be helpful to use the following talking points about Recovery Month, which can be specific to an event.
For more information on prevention, treatment, and recovery, additional resources can be found in the "Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Resources" (http://recoverymonth.gov/Recovery-Month-Kit/Resources/Recovery-Month-Resources.aspx) section of this toolkit.

MEDFORD, Ore. — The craft beer industry is booming in Oregon and many Southern Oregon breweries have found success among their customers, but they would still like to expand that base even more, which is why they often turn to local beer distributors.
A recent report from the National Beer Wholesalers Association highlights the economic impact beer distributors have on Oregon. The report shows more nearly $363 million and more than two thousand jobs are a generated as a direct result of beer distribution.
The impact of distributors goes beyond the delivery trucks. The distributors connect the breweries to retailers, which likely means more customers. That increased availability of craft beers is one thing breweries depend on to expand business.
"They go into these other markets where they have relationships that they've built on premises accounts and essentially they then talk to those people and make sure that the beers get to the public," explained the Co-Owner of Beerworks, Chris Dennett.
A local beer retailer says small brewers might feel overwhelmed if they had to self-distribute, which could take some of the focus away from brewing high quality beer.
Retailers believe everyone wins when distributors are involved, customers get more products and it leads to a healthy beer market and better beer for the consumer. Local retailers say about half a dozen craft breweries have been popping up every year in Southern Oregon and that trend could continue to grow.
