wainscot chest
about wainscot
Now I am trying to go back to some ideas I had for blog posts that never got written in the last two months. First up is "wainscot." I've always had it in mind to write about wainscot, then after reading Richard Law's post about his reading of Wolsley & Luff's Age of the Joiner it got in my noggin again. The book is a real mixed bag; but worth having if you're careful. What Richard found out is that wainscot means different things at different times/places and needs.
One basic meaning of the word is paneled walls – a series of connected frame-and-panel constructions to sheath interior walls. Simple, right?
Well, it also means imported oak from the Baltic. Or from elsewhere, through the Dutch territories. Or is means oak quartered, usually riven, as the Baltic oak mostly was.
It can also mean an object made with either these materials or this construction method. A wainscot chair can be an oak chair, it can also be a walnut chair, made with a joined frame and a paneled back.
The absolute best discussion of it is now Adam Bowett's entries for oak, wainscot etc in his newest book Woods Used in British Furniture-Making 1400-1900. I had mentioned this book a while back, it really is a great reference book. Costly, but worth the money. If money's tight, absolutely get the library to hunt it down for you. But then you'll want to buy it. I saved up and got one. The introduction and the entries on oak, mahogany and walnut are excellent research and writing. The other stuff too, but those are the ones I read first. His entry for wainscot is 9 pages long…you can skip my post here about it & go read Adam's book instead.
There are records in England of the word wainscot being a noun – an early record is one I first saw in Wolsey & Luff's book – an excerpt from the will of John Henryson of Kingston-upon-Hull, 1525, mentioning:
"I gif to William Henryson, the carver, at the next comying of the hulkes oute of Danske a c [hundred] wayne scottes"
These wainscots are either bolts or logs of oak to be worked at their destination.
Here's Reverend William Harrison's note about imported wainscot – in A Description of England of the late sixteenth century: (1577 1st edition, or 1587 2nd)
"Of all oke growing in England, the parke oke is the softest, and far more spalt and brittle than the hedge oke. And of all in Essex, that growing in Bardfield parke is the finest for joiner's craft: for oftentimes have I seene of their workes made of that oke so fine and faire, as most of the wainescot that is brought thither out of Danske, for our wainescot is not made in England."
John Evelyn, Sylva ( I think this is from the 1661 edition, but not sure) :
With Fir we likewise make Wainscot, Floors, Laths, Boxes, and wherever we use the Deal; nor does there any Wood so well agree with the Glew as it, or so easie to be wrought: It is also excellent for Beams, and other Timber-work in Houses, being both light, and exceedingly strong, where it may lie dry everlasting, and an extraordinary saver of Oak where it may be had at reasonable price.
Nor are we to over-pass those memorable Trees which so lately flourished in Dennington Park neer Newberry: amongst which three were most remarkable from the ingenious Planter, and dedication (if Tradition hold) the famous English bard, Jeofry Chaucer; of which one was call'd the Kings, another the Queens. and a third Chaucers-Oak. The first of these was fifty foot in height before any bough or knot appear'd, and cut five foot square at the butt end, all clear Timber. The Queens was fell'd since the Wars, and held forty foot excellent Timber, straight as an arrow in growth and grain, and cutting four foot at the stub, and neer a yard at the top; besides a fork of almost ten foot clear timber above the shaft, which was crown'd with a shady tuft of boughs, amongst which, some were on each side curved like Rams-horns, as if they had been so industriously bent by hand. This Oak was of a kind so excellent, cutting a grain clear as any Clap-board (as appear'd in the Wainscot which was made thereof) that a thousand pities it is some seminary of the Acorns had not been propagated, to preserve the species.
(Ahh, Evelyn brings up the word "clap-board" – we'll get to that another day…)
In 17th-c New England they surely weren't using any imported Baltic oak. There the word applied to local oak, probably riven on the quarter. Sometimes, though, it was about the paneling, In Massachusetts Bay Colony's earliest days, Governor John Winthrop chastised one of his deputies for being lavish with his own house.
"May 1, 1632 …upon this there arose another Question, about his howse: the Governor havinge formerly tould him, that he did not well to bestowe such cost about wainscottinge & addorninge his howse, in the beginning of a plantation, bothe in regarde of the necessitye of public charges & for example &c: his answeare now was, that it was for the warmthe of his howse, & the Charge was little, beinge but clapbordes nayled to the walles in the forme of wainscott."
(Richard S. Dunn, James Savage, Laetitia Yeandle, editors, The Journal of John Winthrop 1630-1649 (Cambridge, Massachusetts: The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 1996) p.66.)
I'd say that's the earliest use of that word in New England. And in that case, while clapboards were usually oak, the term wainscot here is about the wall-panelling. Faux wall paneling to boot. There's a pine board chest at the Plymouth Antiquarian Society with narrow boards nailed to the front of it to mimic a joined chest. Sounds like the paneling Winthrop's deputy had…
Otherwise, New England inventories usually use the word as an adjective – wainscot chest, wainscot chair, etc. I can't think of any examples like numerous English inventories where they list the wainscoting as a "moveable" like furniture.
Here's an English one, from 1672, Abraham Brecknock, Writtle, uses "wainscot" as both noun & adjective:
"One drawing table, 6 joint stooles, and a forme and a Bible £2; One presse-cubbord, another wainscot cubbord and all the wainscot about the Hall, and the long bench joyning to the wainscot £7-10; Three chaires , 6 cushions & other implements £1 "
For the record of sawyers working the imported material, here's a piece from London, 1633 – from Henry Laverock Phillips, Annals of the Worshipful Company of Joiners of the City of London, (London: privately printed, 1915) we get a petition filed by the Joiners Company against the Freemen Sawyers of London:
"1633 Petition of the Compy of Joyners &c to the C of Aldermen against Freemen Sawyers
Report to the C of Aldermen…we caused to come before us as well divers of the Cy of Joyners as other freemen Boxmakers as also the Sawyers we conferred also with the Wardens of the Carpenters Cy touching the matters complained.
That within these twentie years the prices of sawing is so exceedingly increased by means that the freemen Sawyers have appropriated the performance of the work & that only forreyners have served under them as that there is now taken sometimes three pence and sometimes four pence for sawing a Curfe of Wainscott which was then done for three half pence and no more." (p. 25, 26)
Here's Richard's post from some time ago, that got me to thinking about this: http://www.flyingshavings.co.uk/believe-words-words-words-hamlet-act-ii-sc-2/
In it, our friend Tico Vogt mentioned the blog written down under by "Jack Plane" – I have been remiss to never bring this blog up here. It's outstanding, just great. No idea who this fellow really is, but his work is great, and he knows period work quite well. You probably already read it, but if you don't, you'd like it. Here's the one Tico remembered about wainscot http://pegsandtails.wordpress.com/2010/08/31/oak-in-the-seventeenth-and-eighteenth-centuries/
Teaching schedule for 2014 – workshops
I am starting to assemble the schedule for where and when I will be teaching in 2014. This list is partial; as of right now (Dec 2013) – I will update it as things get sorted out. Some of these places have their schedules posted, some are still in the works. I'll also keep it as a separate page here on the blog for later access. Hope to see you out & about…
February 8 & 9, 2014 – Connecticut Valley School of Woodworking, Manchester, CT. Carving 17th-century style. http://www.schoolofwoodworking.com/woodworking-classes.html#Speciality_Weekend_Classes Bob Van Dyke runs a great place there. Fun will be had. Watch in horror as Bob loses it when we look at period carvings, "All I see is faces" says Bob. 2 days of learning the tools to use, how to work with them this way & that, and generate different patterns. Layout, execution – folks usually carve about 5 different patterns, including one full-size panel version.
May 11 & 12, 2 days of spoon carving instruction at Lie-Nielsen in Warren, ME. My first-ever attempt at teaching spoon carving. I am really excited to tackle this. If you read the blog, you know I have been carving spoons for many years, and every day for the past few. Axes, knives & more – what fun. They will have the details up on their website soon. http://www.lie-nielsen.com/workshops/
August 4-8, 2014 – The Woodwright's School, Pittsboro, NC. – This time, Roy has been kind enough (or nuts enough) to agree to us trying to make a small joined chest in a week. A mix of riven oak and sawn boards (maybe pine – we have some details to work out…) – it will be much like the joined chest we did on his show this past season. (flat lid instead of panels though – enough joinery already) Riving, hewing, planing – mortise & tenon, then grooves & panels. If it works, it'll be something. Well, it'll be something anyway…
September 22-26 – Heartwood School for the Homebuilding Crafts – http://www.heartwoodschool.com/coursefr.html WOW – I'll teach right here in Massachusetts. I was a student at Heartwood back in 1984 – and now 30 years later I'll be teaching the make-a-carved-box class there. Riving oak, planing, carving, assembly – another mix of riven oak & sawn pine. Assembly with hand-wrought nails, wooden pins, and a wooden hinge. I'm really looking forward to returning to Heartwood.
(Will Beemer was able to find a photo that had me in it from 1984 – I'm the skinny longhair sorta just behind/above the fellow in white overalls…head down, arms up.)
There are other things coming up, some museum lecture/demos; one at Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts in NC – in March. Haven't been there in ages. I'll also add another class at CVSWW – this one a 3-day class in making a carved frame-and-panel. So some carving, and some joinery for those too smart to tackle 16 or more mortise & tenons! I'll get that sorted soon, sorry Bob. The 2-day open house at Lie-Nielsen in July – I missed it in 2013, so cleared room in 2014.
I'll flesh this listing out as it gets more details.
the highlight of my Turkey-Day
Thanksgiving in the US is a big deal. But not for me in the usual way. I hate football, drinking & eating turkey & the "fixings" – always have. But Thanksgiving, Pilgrims, Plymouth – that's the scene, whether it really started there or not. I can't care, as my friend Pat would say. Working at Plimoth means huge crowds on Thanksgiving, maybe 4,000 people Thursday and the same or more on Friday. 20 years of working those days can also make you a bit dazed…
I split, hewed & planed lots of red oak – big movements are easily seen by big crowds…
Folks were nice, but kinda quiet. At least they weren't breaking out in fist-fights like many shoppers were. So while I was working away, my mind was often on Bill Coperthwaite. I took his book with me to the beach, where I had lunch. Read snippets here & there. His tag line is often quoted, "I want to live in a world where people are intoxicated with the joy of making things."
Back at the bench, I was speaking to a family/couple – I forget who was who. But one woman watched for a while, turned to her husband & said – "It makes me want to go home & make something!"
I thanked her. She made my day. Bill's too I bet.
for more on Bill, see the following:
from Doug Stowe's blog Wisdom of the Hands http://wisdomofhands.blogspot.com/search?q=Coperthwaite
Another, I don't know these folks, found them on the web http://circlein.wordpress.com/2013/08/21/dickinsons-reach-sleepover/
I'm sure there's more. Now, go make something…
pick 'em off one by one
the good thing about starting too many projects at once is that when you finally get around to dealing with them, it looks like you build stuff in record time, knocking off projects on a two-a-week basis.
Here's what's coming down the pike:
This chest – it falls in the House of the Rising Sun category – I started it in April or May, left it alone until July or August, then picked it back up in Oct. Only to leave it til now. So it's all over the map. But it will work out. I have to panel the other end, then fit the till. That's tomorrow.
I have a bunch of book stands underway. And this is the last joint stool to come out of this shop in its present configuration.
Here's one that will fall by the wayside – it's aiming to be a box; but it will have to wait. there's priorities you know.
This one should be do-able. Just some funny paint left to finish up.
Those are all I could get near with a camera today. there's more in there, I think. Two more chests, the chest of drawers will wait – it's a long-term project. And lots of stuff rattling around in my head.
a few posts in one
I'm reading some big books lately. One is the deluxe edition of the Roubo book from Lost Art Press. I sold a lot of spoons to buy a book like that; but I knew I wanted volume 2, so it made sense to get in at the beginning too. The book is intoxicating; it makes me want to fiddle with inlays and other foreign (to me) ideas. Great great accomplishment from a host of people to produce this book. It will take time to really digest the scope of it; some of the images remind me of Serlio's books on architecture. http://yalepress.yale.edu/book.asp?isbn=9780300113051 . See Jameel's take on it, he wrote a nice piece about it. http://benchcrafted.blogspot.com/2013/10/to-make-as-perfectly-as-possible.html
I'm also reminded of a giant reproduction book I viewed some years ago, one of two manuscripts by Thomas Trevelyon – a bunch of early English images; including patterns and designs. Now there's been a third manuscript of his discovered http://collation.folger.edu/2012/12/a-third-manuscript-by-thomas-trevelyontrevelian/
Another biggie is Adam Bowett, Woods in British Furniture Making 1400-1900: An Illustrated Historical Dictionary.
I had seen this book back in the spring while at Winterthur's Furniture Forum. I also had the opportunity to hear Adam speak on the last day of that seminar. His presentation was great- it generally was the subject of the book, what woods are found in British furniture. Could be pretty dry, but Adam made it quite interesting. So I saved up, & got the book. His introductory essay is the best discussion about Britain's timber situation; use of domestics, importation, etc. There's several pages on "wainscot" so that in itself made it worth my time. Great book.
Then comes the last big book I'm currently reading – vol 2 of the Autobiography of Mark Twain. (Not about woodworking of course, but hickory bark is mentioned in vol 1.) He rambles through whatever crosses his mind, knowing he can speak freely. His instructions were for the book to by published 100 years after his death. So no one would be offended by him telling the truth. The books are not linear in any way, he's all over the map. So I didn't read it with any concern about keeping pace, or trying to follow the narrative. I picked away at vol 1 whenever I thought of it. By the time I was done fiddling with it, vol 2 came out. Perfect timing.
I stink at sawing. I can use a hatchet pretty well. Can do some oak-ish carving in a particular style easily. But saws I struggle with. Just not enough practice. I'm working on it. Matt Cianci has helped a lot. When he visited my shop one day, I showed him a new saw I had from the folks at Lie-Nielsen. I told him that I held it funny to get it working the way I wanted…I grabbed it low down on the handle. Matt suggested re-fitting a newer handle with different "hang". So I handed him the saw & that's what he did.
I'm sure lots of people use this saw just as is, with fine results. But I didn't want to treat it like a relic, and I felt that I wasn't getting what I could from the saw. I was interested in learning how it would behave with the lower fitting handle.
I like it, and use it regularly these days on the chest of drawers I am building. Matt brought the original handle back so it can be reversed if ever I wanted to…
Here's Matt's take on what he did… http://thesawblog.com/?p=2312
It's not that I have frequented the House of the Rising Sun, but that I have left half-finished furniture around for months & months. It makes it very difficult to pick up the thread & see where it's going. Here's a couple more shots of the chest of drawers' upper case. I have not really begun the lower case yet. Here it is with some ornament applied, but the case not yet fully assembled. This one is not a copy, but truly an "inspired-by" situation. That means I am making it up as I go along, and that I didn't measure and examine the originals in detail enough to copy them. Red oak frame, cedrela panels on the side. Drawer fronts are pine, with figured maple inserts. Surrounded by cedrela moldings. Rosewood turnings.
Rear view just before I inserted a single pine panel. The drawer back is a re-used sheathing board; this side-hung drawer is about 10″ deep, so gets 2 sets of runners. I have yet to install the lower drawer runner.
Here's a clear shot of the smaller upper drawer back; this time oak. Riven, sawn-off drawer bottoms scarred the drawer back. Just like some old ones I see. The rear joints are rabbets, nailed. Fronts are half-blind dovetails. Glued. Sometimes nailed.
When the upper case is tipped on its back, you see the mortise in the bottom edge of the side rails. This is for a registration loose tenon that will align the lower case & upper case. The front lower rail is only 1″ high, maybe 1 1/2″ I forget. It has a rabbet in its inner lower edge, for dust boards that will seal the bottom of this case. The tenon runs the whole height of the rail, so when I cut off the excess end of the stile, the tenon is exposed.
Now I have to put it down again, & finish some stuff for the museum. It's a hard life wherever you go…
Speaking of which, wherever I go to set up shop, I intend to have a sign. So I started carving one like I did for Lie-Nielsen a couple of years ago.
Here's the beginnings of mine, the piece of red oak courtesy of Bob Van Dyke:
the "other" New England furniture of the seventeenth century
Readers of this blog will be quite familiar with the oak furniture that I have made over the years, based on English & New England examples. These feature lots of carved decoration, along with some integral moldings, sometimes enhanced with paint as well. Like this:
Happening at the same time as this style is the "applied molding" style – for lack of a better term. Here in New England these are pretty common – many years ago I co-authored with Bob Trent and Alan Miller an article about a series of large joined cupboards in this style, http://www.chipstone.org/framesetAFintro.html These cupboards, made in northern Essex County, Massachusetts in the 1680s or so, were really some of the most involved constructions. Many feature jettied overhangs like timber buildings of the period. they have some carved work, but the bulk of their decoration is applied turnings and moldings. Here's a plain one from this group – from the MFA, Boston
And this really amazing one from the Massachusetts Historical Society – look at the effect of the moldings on the door in the upper case.
I think we ended up with 13 cupboards or so. Numerous chests of drawers and chests with drawers were made by the same shop(s) – and some tables, etc.
Similar, but simpler examples were found made in Salem, Massachusetts and down in Plymouth Colony (later a county of Massachusetts, 1692). Here's the best Salem cupboard:
and a typical Plymouth chest with drawers. These are distinctive because they use two narrow side-by-side drawers. Everyone else used full-width drawers mostly.
But by far the most articulate and finely executed versions were the works we now associate with 17th-c Boston. In 2010 Trent & I published an article that really for me only touches on what's going on in Boston then…but it's a start. Here's a Boston chest from Chipstone's collection.
And the cream of the crop – the chest of drawers with doors at Yale:
I keep thinking that making this stuff is so much more work than carving – on a carved chest, you make 30-40 pieces of wood, carve them, then fit them together. On one of these applied molding/turning jobs, you make the 30-40 bits that form the carcass – then make a slew more of other woods, and cut & piece them together. Maybe hundreds once you have them cut to bits…
Over the years I have built a few pieces in this manner; a Plymouth style chest with drawers back in 1995, then copies of the Pope family cabinet in the early part of this century.
I built a made-up version of a chest of drawers when my wife & I got married in 2003.
I'm fast at carving, but pretty slow at this stuff. So now my goal is to do enough of this so I can get quicker. That's how it works. So I'm hoping we'll see me making more work like this in the coming months…

The funny thing is that ethanol can make some serious power. I get Car Craft magazine and they were doing horsepower adders for E85. They had a blown SBC and were making close to 1000hp because E85 runs so cool that it isn't prone to predetonation and spark knock. They doubled the jet size to do it, though.
Buddy of mine is big into dirt track racing, they've got a 400 chevy running pure alcohol and he said temps rarely get over 180. He never told me EGT's but I would imagine they're pretty low. Pretty radical setup as far as the carb goes on it though. Anybody ever tried to tune a trail sled to run E85?

This will be the third time I tried to start this post. Let's see if I get derailed yet again, or if I can actually finish it this time and get it up on the blog. To break from the monotony of Windows Forms, I'm uploading a snippet that wasn't originally intended to be a code sample. But, in my frantic grasp for content, it has become such.
What is CmdLiner? It's a tool I wrote for myself, to help parse command lines. (It will be used in larger projects, eventually.) I decided my command-line options loosely follow these rules:
So, a valid command line might look like the following: myprog /v -outfile:c:\temp.txt \r=200,13 infile.txt
How does it, ehm, how does it work? Consult the book of armaments! No, no. Actually, I compile it /LD, into a .NET assembly. Then, I can #using it from any program I want, to take advantage of its capabilities. I went back to the old C++ standard of defining the CmdLiner object in a .h file, and having the implementation in a .cpp file, rather than jumbling it all up in one source file. Being a C++ programmer at heart, that's really what makes the most sense to me.
Let's get into the code! I'll start with the .h file, and proceed from there. As always, my explanation is in Whidbey C++ syntax (old syntax code is also included in the sample, however), and the link to the sample download is way at the bottom.
//cmdliner.h - managed command-line argument parsing tool
using namespace System;
using namespace stdcli::language;
public ref class CmdLiner{
CmdLiner(array<String^>^ args){ //requires the paramarray of main() to be passed in
Some typical using namespace declarations - the second being for the array<> template, and a constructor definition. .NET programs have their command-line options as an array of System::Strings. We simply take that information, and pass it along to the private loadargs function, which will actually perform the job of parsing the command line. (Most of the rest of the class is just methods to access that information in a meaningful way.)
CmdLiner(int argc, char **argv){
array<String^>^ args=gcnew array<String^>(argc);
for(int i=0; i<argc; i++){
Here's a second constructor. It takes the traditional C++ command-line arguments, makes an array of Strings, fills it, and passes it along to loadargs.
int argc(){ return _args->Length; } //argument count (inlined)
bool switchOn(String^ sw); //is a particular switch thrown?
array<String^>^ switchArgs(String^ sw); //return any arguments for a switch /s:arg1,arg2
array<String^>^ nonswitchArgs(); //return all non-switch arguments
int nswc(); //number of non-switch arguments
String^ getarg(int index){ return _args[index]; }
String^ getdearg(int index){ return _deargs[index]; }
Most of these methods are used to access the already-parsed command line information. These are safe to call pretty much any time after the constructor runs. The switchOn method is probably the most useful, with switchArgs and nonswitchArgs also being useful. There's some reference in the inlined functions to private members, like _args. We'll get to those in a second. I think I chose some slightly confusing names. Were the sample not already uploaded (uploading a sample has an average 12-hour turnaround time), I might actually go fix them. The switchArgs method returns an array of the arguments for a particular switch (see rule 3 up at top), but nonswitchArgs returns an array containing all arguments that aren't switches (rule 2).
array<String^>^ _args;
array<String^>^ _deargs;
String^ dearg(String^ arg); //removes /-\=: and anything following =:
void loadargs(array<String^>^ args);
int getSwIndex(String^ sw); //gets the array index of sw, -1 if not found
Here are those private members, and a few private methods. The arrays _args and _deargs store our parsed arguments. The _args array stores them, complete with slashes and all the option arguments, and _deargs has just the switch. (In the case of a non-switch argument, the _deargs entry contains nullptr.) Also, the loadargs method we've seen earlier, and dearg and getSwIndex, both of which are obvious, based on their comments.
Now, onto the meat. Let's get to the real point of this one - the implementation.
//cmdliner.cpp - requires cmdliner.h, build /LD
#include "cmdliner.h"
#define STRARR(x) ((String^)x)->ToCharArray()
This is all old hat - we've seen all this before. (If you don't remember STRARR, go check out an old sample, loc.)
bool CmdLiner::switchOn(String^ sw){ //is a particular switch thrown?
if(getSwIndex(sw)>=0) return true;
else return false;
Here, we're determining if a switch the user requested has been thrown, and we use the private method getSwIndex, which returns -1 if the switch isn't found, and returns the index to the switch otherwise.
array<String^>^ CmdLiner::switchArgs(String^ sw){
//return any arguments for a switch /s:arg1,arg2 or -s=arg1,arg2
int index=getSwIndex(sw);
int argindex=0;
if(_args[index]->IndexOf(':')>=0) argindex=_args[index]->IndexOf(':');
else if (_args[index]->IndexOf('=')>=0) argindex=_args[index]->IndexOf('=');
else return nullptr;
String^ justargs=(_args[index]->Substring(argindex+1));
return justargs->Split( STRARR(",") );
return nullptr;
The switchArgs method returns the arguments for a switch. It returns an array of arguments because there could potentially be multiple arguments to any one switch. Basically, we first use the String::Substring method to get everything after the = or :, and then use String::Split to divide up the strings by the comma delimiter. Looking over this code, I see a flaw, where a user could break this method by specifying an argument that starts with an equals, but has a colon in it (like a path): /d=c:\windows\system32. Oops! Well, watch out for that bug. Or fix it, if you so desire. Typically, it only has negative effects when the path is not on the same drive as the program is being run on, since the bug basically has the effect of removing the drive specification, for paths, anyhow.
array<String^>^ CmdLiner::nonswitchArgs(){ //return all non-switch arguments in order
if(nswc()<=0) return nullptr;
array<String^>^ retarr = gcnew array<String^>(nswc());
int arrindex=0;
for(int i=0; i<argc(); i++)
if(!_deargs[i]) retarr[arrindex++]=safe_cast<String^>(_args[i]->Clone());
return retarr;
This method returns only the non-switch arguments. I do this by creating a new array of the right size (I figure that out using the nswc method), and then looping through all the arguments, checking _deargs to see if it's empty. If it is, we copy the corresponding _args entry into our temporary array. Since retarr contains only the non-switch arguments, it has to keep and increment a seperate index (arrindex) from the loop variant.
int CmdLiner::nswc(){ //number of non-switch arguments
int count=0;
if(!_deargs[i]) count++;
return count;
Here's that nswc method. It basically just loops through _deargs, counting the number of blank entries. Pretty straightforward.
String^ CmdLiner::dearg(String^ arg){ //removes /-\=: and anything following =:
//only if it IS an argument (leads with a /-\)
if(arg[0]=='\\' || arg[0]=='/' || arg[0]=='-'){
arg=arg->Trim( STRARR("\\/-") );
return (arg->Split(STRARR(":=")))[0];
This method takes an individual argument, and strips off all the characters that don't represent the actual switch. If it isn't a switch, it returns nullptr.
void CmdLiner::loadargs(array<String^>^ args){
_args = safe_cast<array<String^>^>(args->Clone()); //get a copy of the args array
_deargs=gcnew array<String^>(argc());
for(int i=0; i<args->Length; i++) //clone the array, dearg'ed
The loadargs method is the one called from the two constructors. Basically, it just fills the _args and the _deargs arrays, using the dearg method. I perform the argument stripping once, and for all the arguments up front, so I incur that cost once, rather than distributing it out among several calls (which could potentially be more costly, in the long run).
int CmdLiner::getSwIndex(String^ sw){ //gets the array index of sw, -1 if not found
for(int i=0; i<_deargs->Length; i++)
if(String::Compare(sw, _deargs[i], true)==0) return i;
return -1;
Finally, the getSwIndex function. This is the method I'm least proud of, because it is a simple iterative search, rather than something possibly more efficient. However, the array is sorted by argument order, rather than alphabetically. A more efficient search algorithm would probably need to have the array sorted somehow, and still remember the original order of the switches. It really turns the switchOn method into a O(n2) operation - but since the calls to switchOn are spread out, it isn't so bad.
Get the files! You can find them here. Please drop me a line if you try this out and find it useful, and especially if you find that the Managed Extensions version doesn't compile under VS.Net 2003. Stay tuned - a future sample that I'm working on will make use of CmdLiner.

What is the best method to store home brewed beer long term (several months)? I brew a batch of beer in march I set four a side in a closet that usually hovers between 68-72 degrees. I just cracked one open and it had a sour kinda spoiled milk after taste. The beer tasted great when it was brewed so this is a definate down grade in flavor. So my qestion is.. Do I store it in a cooler place, in a fridge, or was this just a freak occurence? What is the best long term storage method? Everything I've read and heard say tha long term storage should increase the flavor.
a fridge will "lager" flavor out of the brew. I have stored at 65F or so in my basement for 2 years on a low gravity brew, no problems. Oxidation is probably the biggest factor regardless of storage temps. With good habits as far as that goes, beer will last indefinitely.
Ditto. Best way to store beer is probably a well sanitized keg at fridge temps. If you're looking to age beer, then I would go with a well sanitized bottle at 55f or so. When you're looking to go long term sanitization is very very important. Sour flavors would indicate infection. Also you want very little oxygen. Either bottle condition or counter pressure fill from a keg. As for your beer, I would crack another maybe it was just one that evaded the PBW and star san. If you don't need the bottles you can let it sit longer and keep your fingers crossed. But I would go a bit colder for sure.

Heidi Klum [on her marriage proposal]: [Seal] took me by helicopter. He had an igloo built there, and they'd brought up everything: a bed with sheets inside the igloo, rose petals everywhere, candles. Very, very romantic! There was food and champagne, and then the helicopter left. It was a little scary, too, because you're so cut off from the world. No trees, nothing - it was hard-core. But I was ecstatic. I loved it. It was wonderful.

William Edward "Billy" Crystal[1] (born March 14, 1948)[1][2] is an American actor, singer, writer, film producer, director, comedian, and television host.
He gained prominence in the 1970s for playing Jodie Dallas on the ABC sitcom Soap and became a Hollywood film star during the late 1980s and 1990s, appearing in the critical and box office successes When Harry Met Sally... (1989), City Slickers (1991), and Analyze This (1999) and providing the voice of Mike Wazowski in the Monsters, Inc. franchise.
He has hosted the Academy Awards 9 times, beginning in 1990 and most recently in 2012.
Early life[edit]
Crystal was born at Doctors Hospital on the Upper East Side of Manhattan,[1] and initially raised in The Bronx.[3] As a toddler, he moved with his family to 549 East Park Avenue in Long Beach, New York, on Long Island.[3] He and his older brothers Joel and Richard, nicknamed Rip, were the sons of Helen (née Gabler), a housewife, and Jack Crystal, who owned and operated the Commodore Music Store, founded by Helen's father, Julius Gabler.[4][5] Jack Crystal was also a jazz promoter, a producer, and an executive for an affiliated jazz record label, Commodore Records, founded by Helen's brother, musician and songwriter Milt Gabler.[3] Crystal is Jewish (his family emigrated from Austria and Russia).[6][7] The three young brothers would entertain by reprising comedy routines from the likes of Bob Newhart, Rich Little and Sid Caesar records their father would bring.[3] Jazz artists such as Arvell Shaw, Pee Wee Russell, Eddie Condon, and Billie Holiday were often guests in the home.[3] With the decline of Dixieland jazz circa 1963, Crystal's father lost his business,[6] and died later that year at the age of 54[4] after suffering a heart attack while bowling.[3] His mother, Helen Crystal, died in 2001.[6]
After graduation from Long Beach High School in 1965,[8] Crystal attended Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia on a baseball scholarship,[3] having learned the game from his father, who pitched for St. John's University.[citation needed] Crystal never played a game at Marshall because the program was suspended during his first year.[9] He did not return to Marshall as a sophomore, staying back in New York with his future wife. He instead attended Nassau Community College and later New York University, where he was a film and television directing major. He graduated from NYU in 1970 with a BFA from its School of Fine Arts, not yet named for the Tisch family.[10] His instructors there included Martin Scorsese, with Oliver Stone and Christopher Guest among his classmates.[11]
Crystal returned to New York City and performed regularly at The Improv and Catch a Rising Star. In 1976, Crystal appeared on an episode of All in the Family. He was on the dais for The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast of Muhammad Ali on February 19, 1976, where he did impressions of both Ali and sportscaster Howard Cosell. He was scheduled to appear on the first episode of NBC Saturday Night (later renamed Saturday Night Live) (October 11, 1975), but his sketch was cut.[12] He did perform on episode 17 of that first season, doing a monologue of an old jazz man capped by the line "Can you dig it? I knew that you could." Host Ron Nessen introduced him as "Bill Crystal."[13] Crystal was a guest on the first and the last episode of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" which concluded February 6, 2014 after 22 seasons on the air.[14] Crystal also made game show appearances such as The Hollywood Squares, All Star Secrets and The $20,000 Pyramid. He holds the record for getting his contestant partner to the top of the pyramid in winner's circle in the fastest time, 28 seconds.[15]
Saturday Night Live[edit]
- Al Minkman, a maker of quality novelty tricks and toys
- Fernando, host of Fernando's Hideaway, a celebrity interview show; based on actor Fernando Lamas
- Buddy Young, Jr. (an insult comic who appears on Weekend Update)
- Lew Goldman
- Ricky, a bowler
- Tony Minetti, a butcher
- Willie, a man who, along with his friend, Frankie (played by Christopher Guest), discuss their masochistic tendencies
Crystal's earliest prominent role was as Jodie Dallas on Soap, one of the first unambiguously homosexual characters in the cast of an American television series. He continued in the role during the series' entire 1977–1981 run.
In 1982, Billy Crystal hosted his own variety show, The Billy Crystal Comedy Hour on NBC. When Crystal arrived to shoot the fifth episode, he learned it had been canceled after only the first two aired.[16] After hosting Saturday Night Live twice on March 17, 1984 and the show's ninth season finale on May 5, he joined the regular cast for the 1984-85 season.[12] His most famous recurring sketch was his parody of Fernando Lamas, a smarmy talk-show host whose catchphrase, "You look... mahvelous!," became a media sensation.[12] Crystal subsequently released an album of his stand-up material titled Mahvelous! in 1985, as well as the single "You Look Marvelous", which peaked at No. 58 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, and No. 17 in Canada. Also in the 1980s, Crystal starred in an episode of Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre as the smartest of the three little pigs.
In 1996, Crystal was the guest star of the third episode of Muppets Tonight[citation needed] and hosted three Grammy Awards Telecasts: the 29th Grammys; the 30th Grammys; and the 31st Grammys.
Acting in film and hosting the Oscars[edit]
Crystal's first film role was in Joan Rivers's 1978 film Rabbit Test.
Crystal appeared briefly in the Rob Reiner "rockumentary" This Is Spinal Tap (1984) as Morty The Mime, a waiter dressed as a mime at one of Spinal Tap's parties. He shared the scene with a then-unknown, non-speaking Dana Carvey, stating famously that "Mime is money." He later starred in the action comedy Running Scared (1986) and was directed by Reiner again in The Princess Bride (1987), in a comedic supporting role as "Miracle Max." Reiner got Crystal to accept the part by saying, "How would you like to play Mel Brooks?" Reiner also allowed Crystal to ad-lib, and his parting shot, "Hev fun stawming de kessel!" (i.e., "Have fun storming the castle!"), is a frequently-quoted line.
Reiner directed Crystal for a third time in the romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally... (1989), in which Crystal starred alongside Meg Ryan and for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe. The film has since become an iconic classic for the genre and is Crystal's most celebrated film. Crystal then starred in the award-winning buddy comedy City Slickers (1991), which proved very successful both commercially and critically and for which Crystal was nominated for his second Golden Globe. The film was followed by a sequel, which was less successful. In 1992, he played the narrator in Doctor Seuss Video Classics: Horton Hatches the Egg.
Following the significant success of these films, Crystal wrote, directed, and starred in Mr. Saturday Night (1992) and Forget Paris (1995). In the former, Crystal played a serious role in aging makeup, as an egotistical comedian who reflects back on his career, although the character was from his SNL days. Though some of his subsequent films were not as well received as his earlier hits, Crystal had another success alongside Robert De Niro in Harold Ramis' mobster comedy Analyze This (1999). More recent performances include roles in America's Sweethearts (2001), the sequel Analyze That (2002), and Parental Guidance (2012).
He directed the made-for-television movie 61* (2001) based on Roger Maris's and Mickey Mantle's race to break Babe Ruth's single-season home run record in 1961. This earned Crystal an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Directing for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special.
Crystal was originally asked to provide the voice of Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story (1995) but turned it down, a decision he later regretted due to the popularity of the series.[12] Crystal later went on to provide the voice of Mike Wazowski in the blockbuster Pixar film Monsters, Inc. (2001), and reprised his role in the prequel, Monsters University, which was released in June 2013. Crystal also provided the voice of Calcifer in the English version of Hayao Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle (2004).
Crystal hosted the Academy Awards broadcast in 1990–1993, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2004 and 2012. His hosting was critically praised, resulting in two Emmy wins for hosting and writing the 63rd Academy Awards and an Emmy win for writing the 64th Academy Awards. He returned as M.C. for the 2012 Oscar ceremony, after Eddie Murphy backed out of hosting.[17][not in citation given] His nine times as the M.C. is second only to Bob Hope's 18 in most ceremonies hosted. At the 83rd Academy Awards ceremony in 2011, he appeared as a presenter for a digitally inserted Bob Hope and before doing so was given a standing ovation. Film critic Roger Ebert said when Crystal came onstage about two hours into the show, he got the first laughs of the broadcast.[18] Crystal's hosting gigs have regularly included an introductory video segment in which he comedically inserts himself into scenes of that year's films in addition to a song following his opening monologue.
Crystal won the 2005 Tony Award for Best Special Theatrical Event for 700 Sundays, a two-act, one-man play, which he conceived and wrote about his parents and his childhood growing up on Long Island.[12] He toured the U.S. with the show in 2006 and Australia in 2007.
Following the initial success of the play, Crystal wrote the book 700 Sundays for Warner Books, which was published on October 31, 2005. In conjunction with the book and the play that also paid tribute to his uncle, Milt Gabler, Crystal produced two CD compilations: Billy Crystal Presents: The Milt Gabler Story, which featured his uncle's most influential recordings from Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit" to "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley & His Comets; and Billy Remembers Billie featuring Crystal's favorite Holiday recordings.
In the fall of 2013, he brought the show back to Broadway for a two-month run at the Imperial Theatre. HBO filmed the January 3–4, 2014 performances for a special, which debuted on their network on April 19, 2014.[19][20]
In 1986, Crystal started hosting Comic Relief on HBO with Robin Williams and Whoopi Goldberg.[12] Founded by Bob Zmuda, Comic Relief raises money for homeless people in the United States.
On September 6, 2005, on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Crystal and Jay Leno were the first celebrities to sign a Harley-Davidson motorcycle to be auctioned off for Gulf Coast relief.[21]
Crystal has participated in the Simon Wiesenthal Center Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. Portraying himself in a video, Crystal introduces museum guests to the genealogy wing of the museum.[citation needed]
On March 12, 2008, Crystal signed a minor league contract, for a single day, to play with the New York Yankees, and was invited to the team's major league spring training. He wore uniform number 60, in honor of his upcoming 60th birthday.[22] On March 13, in a spring training game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Crystal led off as the designated hitter. He managed to make contact, fouling a fastball up the first base line, but was eventually struck out by Pirates pitcher Paul Maholm on six pitches and was later replaced in the batting order by Johnny Damon.[23] He was released on March 14, his 60th birthday.[24]
Crystal's boyhood idol was Yankee Hall of Fame legend Mickey Mantle who had signed a program for him when Crystal attended a game where Mantle had hit a home run. Years later on The Dinah Shore Show, in one of his first television appearances, Crystal met Mantle in person and had Mantle re-sign the same program. Crystal would be good friends with Mickey Mantle until Mantle's death in 1995. He and Bob Costas together wrote the eulogy Costas read at Mantle's funeral, and George Steinbrenner then invited Crystal to emcee the unveiling of Mantle's monument at Yankee Stadium. In his 2013 memoir Still Foolin' 'Em, Crystal writes that after the ceremony, near the Yankee clubhouse, he was punched in the stomach by Joe DiMaggio, who was angry at Crystal for not having introduced him to the crowd as the "Greatest living player."
Crystal also was well known for his impressions of Yankee Hall of Famer turned broadcaster Phil Rizzuto. Rizzuto, known for his quirks calling games, did not travel to Anaheim, California in 1996 to call the game for WPIX. Instead, Crystal joined the broadcasters in the booth and pretended to be Rizzuto for a few minutes during the August 31 game.
Although a lifelong Yankee fan,[25] he is a part-owner of the Arizona Diamondbacks, even earning a World Series ring in 2001 when the Diamondbacks beat his beloved Yankees.[26]
In City Slickers, Crystal wears a New York Mets baseball cap. In the 1986 film Running Scared, his character is an avid Chicago Cubs fan, wearing a Cubs' jersey in several scenes. In the 2012 film Parental Guidance, his character is the announcer for the Fresno Grizzlies, a Minor League Baseball team, and aspires to announce for their Major League affiliate, the San Francisco Giants.
Crystal is also a longtime Los Angeles Clippers fan.[27][28][29]
Personal life[edit]
Crystal and his wife Janice (née: Goldfinger) married in June 1970,[30] have two daughters, actress Jennifer and producer Lindsay, and are grandparents.[31] They reside in Pacific Palisades, California.[32]

Arizona Wildcats
Reports: Arizona receiver Criner out vs. Oklahoma State
The Arizona Wildcats will play Thursday night's game at Oklahoma State without star wide receiver Juron Criner, according to Wildcatsportsreport.com.
After Criner missed Monday's practice due to an undisclosed illness Coach Mike Stoops said he would still travel to Oklahoma with the team.
Scratch that about WR Juron Criner being on trip. WildcatSportsReport.com says he's not.. Looks accurate. No UA confirmation.
Gimino then tweeted that Coach Stoops is expected to address Criner's absence on Thursday.
Losing one of the best players in school history would be a devastating blow to the Wildcat offense, who look to avenge their 36-10 loss to Oklahoma State in the 2010 Alamo Bowl.
Criner had a big first week against Northern Arizona University, pulling in six catches for 151 yards and a touchdown.

If you had any hopes of GHMC and South Central Railway (SCR) sorting out the compensation issue to widen the Sangeet junction to Tarnaka road, just dash them.
Citizens travelling on the crater ridden road with dangerously drifting asteroid stones making up for a central median and no streetlights, will have to suffer for more days and redemption is nowhere in sight.
For the umpteenth time, engineers of both the organisations met and disagreed on mode of structural compensation.
GHMC's offer of Rs. 1.95 crore for structural compensation after holding it tight for a couple of months has not impressed SCR officials. They are demanding Rs. 5 crore for the defunct and dilapidated buildings to be handed over for widening the key stretch, also forming part of the inner ring road.
Only silver lining is the municipal corporation deciding to take up extensive road repairs on the entire stretch on the available carriageway at a cost of Rs. 60 lakh.
A senior official said tenders have been called and will be finalised within a week's time.
"But, we can't put a permanent central median because of the irregular road width all through on account of railway properties," he hastened to add. SCR officials continue to demand structural compensation for the entire structure rather than the standard municipal formula of paying only to the extent of a property demolished for widening.
Old Gandhi Hospital
"They are refusing to budge from their stand besides are also demanding handing over the nine acre site of the Old Gandhi Hospital which is not in our hands as the government has to take a decision on it," lamented a senior official.
With the main road under dispute, construction of the much needed two more road under bridges at Alugadda Bhavi and Chordline bridge have gone into the background. Railways have sought Rs. 26 crore for both the works and GHMC had promised to release the funds once work starts.
It's not clear who has to make the first move as commuters brave a back breaking ride.

As Purim approaches, thousands of Israeli children and families grapple with poverty
The Obama administration refused on Monday to participate in a U.N. Human Rights Council meeting on Israeli settlements and slammed the body for its "disproportionate" focus on Israel.
The council, based in Geneva, debated on Monday a January special report on the settlements that called for Israel to immediately withdraw from the West Bank and suggested that Israel may be liable for war crimes if it does not.
U.S. delegates would not speak during the debate, according to DPA, the German news agency, and in separate comments Eileen Donahoe, the U.S. ambassador to the body, said that "the United States remains extremely troubled by this council's continued biased and disproportionate focus on Israel."
Israel no longer associates with the Human Rights Council, in part because of last year's so-called fact-finding mission on Israeli settlements that culminated in the report. Israel did not cooperate with the council on the settlements report because of the anticipated built-in anti-Israel bias.
The council repeatedly singles out Israel for criticism and has ignored major human rights abusers, some of which are members of the council.
The Obama administration reversed its predecessor's policy of not participating in the council, and has noted some progress in getting it to address abuses in countries like Iran.
B'nai B'rith International's representative at the United Nations in Geneva, Klaus Netter, said in a statement to the council that the report was counterproductive.
"Far from advancing the peace process between the two main parties, the fact-finding mission report has only reinforced Israel's doubts about returning to active participation in this council and produced yet another source of conflict that may occupy this council's attention for months or years to come," he said.

Sony Negotiating to Pick Up Seth Rogen's 'The Apocalypse' (Exclusive)
UPDATED: The studio would finance and distribute the end-of-the-world comedy that is serving as Rogen and Evan Goldberg's directorial debut.
Sony Pictures is welcoming The Apocalypse. The studio is in negotiations to finance and distribute the end-of-the-world comedy that is serving as the directorial debut of Seth Rogen and longtime writing partner Evan Goldberg.
Rogen (50/50, Green Hornet) wrote the script with Goldberg (from a story by Goldberg and Jason Stone) and are producing with James Weaver via their Point Grey banner. The project is inspired by a short called Jay and Seth vs. The Apocalypse that featured Rogen and Jay Baruchel playing themselves, holed up in an apartment as they dealt with the end of the world. Mandate is prducing and put the project into development in 2008. It has been inching forward ever since.
PHOTOS: Seth Rogen Unlikely Superhero
The project's scope has expanded slightly from its days as a short, as Rogen and Baruchel will now be joined by James Franco, Jonah Hill, Danny McBride and Craig Robinson, all playing themselves as they are stuck in Franco's apartment in Los Angeles facing an apocalypse. The filmmakers also are hoping to populate the movie with cameos.
Mandate's Nathan Kahane and Nicole Brown are exec producing the picture with Point Grey's Kyle Hunter and Ariel Shaffir and Stone. A source says is budgeted in the $30 million to $40 million range. The filmmakers assembled the talent package before shopping it to studios. Several bidders were interested but a source close to the situation says Sony has now entered serious negotiations for the film and—barring some last-minute complication—a deal is expected to wrap up soon. No exact release date has been set.
Rogen, Goldberg and Mandate last collaborated on the awards season contender 50/50, released by Summit. Rogen and Goldberg have enjoyed a successful relationship with Sony, for whom they¹ve made, in various capacities, movies such as Superbad, Pineapple Express and Green Hornet.
Rogen and Goldberg are repped by UTA. Rogen also is managed by Principal Entertainment.
A spring production start is being eyed.

The beginning to the war begins when the oppression of the government of the USA becomes to extreme against its own citizens...
The first true! 99% of terrorism around the world is cause by government. Terrorism is use as a scare tactic to force you into accepting laws, regulations and restrictions that other wise you will not accept. It is in this essence that the revolution inside USA begins. It stars when government begins causing and hyping terrorism.
First they will said that because of terrorism they most reduce your freedoms in the Internet and they will reduce your freedom of speech by imposing laws that prevent your open communication as you do now...
Pandora's box 12571608
Second as soon as they begin restricting your freedom of speech in the Internet they will also move to reduce your freedom of speech in general. They will use the excuse of security and safety from extremist, saying that they should not be able to said whatever they wont without repercussions.. The reduction and the restriction of your freedom of speech is in essence what begins the underground movements to civil war...
Your government is fully aware that the economy is about to collapse in a few more years and they are preparing to make war with your, and they will use this short period of time of stability to prepare to make shor, you do not succeed when you revolt against your government. As of matter of fact they joust purchase hundreds of rounds of ammunition as many of you are awear. This is being done because they know what is aproaching. The reminding years of illusory stability will be use to impose more and more restrictions

2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS
ProsThe Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS performs great in traffic, and unlike later models accelerates beautifully on the high way. Mine came with the auto-start, which was great in the winter weather of Colorado. ConsThe V8 engine isn't as powerful as I would have liked, especially when pitted against the mustang. It's still a car that handles best on straight away's, and not turns. You have to remember this car is front wheel drive.
One Of The Best Monte Carlo's Ever! — I wished I could get more speed out of this vehicle, but highway wise it was the best Monte Carlo SS I have ever driven. I will purchase this car again, and I hope it's the 2007. Looks great with stock rims. Primary Use: Commuting to work

Your Own Personal Race Car! — This car is so much fun to drive, handles great, plenty of power and looks good too. This car is a pleasure to drive around town, and terrific on the highway. We have taken great care of this car, it's clean and well maintained. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LT 3.9L
ProsThe performance levels are excellent!!! Great Stereo system options!!! ConsThis is not a family vehicle.. Difficult to put a car seat in the back
Would Purchase All Over Again!!!! — Ever since Monte Carlo came out with the new body style in '06, I knew I had to purchase one... The LT 3.9L has the same performance levels as the SS except it lacks the SS symbol on the exterior. Over All this is a great one to two person car. |
2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LT 3.9L
ProsI love the look, and the looks I get, plus it can hold it's own against most other cars. ConsNot many, tend to scrape the front bumper on some roads, but that'll just get worse if I
This Is My Baby And There Are Few Cars That I Would Take Over Her. — Got this Monte in August of '06 with 16/17k miles on it. Now sitting at about 48k miles. I've only put about $900 into her. Had exhaust work done in July of '07, installed two 12" Kenwoods in the trunk with a 400 watt amp, drop in K&N filter until I get around to making a custom intake, 7 color LED underglow, various other little things all through out aswell. It's the details that count. |
2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS
ProsLast of the Monte Carlo V8 models ConsThe tire pressure sensor monitors that keep breaking
Last Of The V8 Monte Carlos — Always wanted 1 of the last Monte Carlos with the V8. Wish came true in July 2012 after searching everywhere in MA, finally found 1 in CT. Drove down on a saturday and bought it and drove home 2 hours later. Only has 55K miles. The 4cyl mode is a lil weird. But overall I love the car and happy with it Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS
ProsPower, mileage, comfort ConsTire monitoring system annoying, very restrictive exhaust.
Best Car I Ever Bought For The Money. — I purchased the car used at a Mercury dealer with only 6,000 miles. The car is flawless and performed beyond my expectations. I average 21 mpg city. Haven't traveled on any long trips so highway mileage is unknown. After five years only the rack and pinion has been replaced under warranty. With 79,000 miles tires, battery, and brakes have been the only wear items. My wife drives it daily fifty miles round trip and gets 24 mpg. I drive it on the weekends and it's as much fun to drive as the day we bought it. Owner for 0 years, 6 months Primary Use: Commuting to work Miles Driven per Year:12,000 |
2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS
Most Pep I've Had In A Vehicle Since The Early Seventies. — Great combination of comfort, style and performance. I've taken it on a few long drives (300-500 miles each) and never feel fatigued. Whenever I need to pass - no problem! Good sound system. Good handling. Have had some trouble with various censors (tire pressure, engine, etc.) All have been bad censors - no actual problems with the vehicle. Owner for 0 years, 10 months Miles Driven per Year:15,000 |

2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS
ProsGreat styling, economy, and ride. ConsTwo doors makes putting a kid in a carseat in the back a pain.
I Would Buy Another, But Next Time It Would Be An Ss. — I love the 3.5l engine, just wish it was more supported by the aftermarket. Fuel economy is great, around 35 mpg on average as long as I stay away from the E85. Build quality is alright, and it rides and drives nicely. Great car wish GM still made it. |

Twitter profiles are a great way to show your audience who you are and what you're about in a creative way. Do you have a catchy yet captivating profile? Here are some tips to create a relevant profile that will get you noticed.
- Go Against the Grain – Resist the urge to copy current Twitter profile trends. Check out what your followers have written in their profile and then do the opposite. Reading the same wording that everyone uses is not only boring, but it also may not convey the message you want to give to your followers.
- Recognize Your Audience – Using the word 'You' in your profile makes the reader feel involved in your business. It creates personalization, which in turn makes your followers or potential followers feel welcome. It's similar to saying hello or goodbye.
- A Single Word – Less it more, a single word in your profile can show your creative edge while still getting your point across.
- Update Often – Most Twitter users know that an occasional refresh of your profile will keep your followers interested. Renew your Twitter profile with relevant things that are happening in your marketing endeavors or your career.
- Exaggerate, Playfully – Using an amusing sentiment in your profile attracts readers to want to read more of your tweets. Ellen's whimsical profile includes, "Comedian, Talk-Show host, and ice road trucker. My tweets are real and they are spectacular." The obvious fib is fun and inoffensive to her audience, and it shows her spunky personality.
- Keep It Brief and Use Links – Keeping your profile brief but to the point is a good technique to tell your reader who you are, what you are known for, and also an opportunity to link your website. Hashtags are a unique way to make your profile stand out too. SocialMedia Examiner advises you to, "Choose the most important thing you do; state them in a clear, compelling way."
Being a creative writer can take some finesse. But it's not all about the wit and the one-liners, it's about gaining more followers that in turn will be more leads for sales or connections. Don't let your creativity get you in over your head, use it smartly and often.
