Learn a better way to do distributed computing, using the ideas underlying the most successful distributed system in history: the World Wide Web. In this video course, Mike Amundsen demonstrates three ways to design APIs for the Web, including tunneling-style with SOAP, URI-style with HTTP, and hypermedia style with REST.
After exploring the basics of HTTP and other standards, you'll learn important design considerations, tooling, and implementation models for each API style, whether you're building a public API, a purely internal API, or an API accessible by trusted partners.

Comments about oreilly Designing APIs for the Web:
I have had the opportunity to follow the course "Designing APIs for the Web" in which the lecturer is Mike Amudsen, who talks about Design Considerations, Tooling, and Implementation Models with SOAP, HTTP, and REST.It is a really interesting course, more and more interesting that I actually could suppose.It represent a great journey between the aspects to consider when API layer is required in an organization, even if this is targeted to a product or a service, as for internal as for external use.Mike Amudsen is a very clear lecturer and his ability to explain complex topics as simple concepts makes this course really impressive.The course is well structured in chapters, and every one of these are independent and not strictly related to others, so everyone can be viewed and viewed again singularly, and everyone affronts and explains a single slice of the whole cake of arguments.Mike is able to explain with very simple words, explaining a lot of concepts and behavior to have or to avoid when anyone need to clearly have in mind when implementing APIs.After listening any chapter, your first impression could be: "but, wait, he's talking about good sense, he's talking of organization, all of these things are obvious!" but in second step, when you realize that all of these "obvious" concepts are so easily neglected in every day's work, at the end you will think: "That's great!".I would recommend this course to designers and architects that are meaning to implement an API layer for their products or services, even if any developer can benefit of this knowledge in every day's work.It was really a great experience for me "attending" at this course, and I think I surely will return back to view some chapters from a while to while, because in my opinion these are very well-done lessons!

No Source to consolidate course

About Me Developer
The explanations are good but rather hard to grasp because the APIs parts are only discussed toward the end of the course. It would have helped if the code was included in the Extras section so that it could be looked at concurrently with the explanations. I would have given it 5 stars otherwise but exclusion of the code leaves a big void in grasping the concepts completely.

Long-time gamer, aspiring writer, and frequent bearer of an afro. As an eternal optimist, I like to both look on the bright side of things and see the better parts of games; as a result, I love a game with a good story and awesome characters...and anything that lets me punch the heresy out of my enemies.
I'm a big fan of Atlus' games, and I've enjoyed my fair share of fighters and RPGs. Just...please, keep Final Fantasy XIII out of my sight. It never ends well for anyone involved.
You can check out some of my game musinga/stories/random stuff at my other blog, Cross-Up. I've also got a TV Tropes thingamajig, and I'm trying to get some freelance work going. Among other things. Like a web serial novel. And getting books published. If ever there was a time for the world to learn the joys of ghost-punching, this is it.

A 10-Hit Combo of Factoids Regarding Voltech
on 04.08.2012
Ive been seeing a lot of these 10 Things You Didnt Know About X recently, and -- as is the usual standard -- I figured Id give it a shot when the movement is at the fringes of relevance, and people have geared up to take the next societal plunge. Its probably the reason why my cell phone is always two generations behind everyone elses but I digress.
Lets not waste any time with these pleasantries, shall we? Much like most of you, Im on a tight schedule; Im due for a hot dog luncheon at five. Although, incidentally
10) Voltech eats hot dogs and oatmeal way too often.
Im not much of a cook. Ive never succeeded in burning any buildings to the ground, or giving myself or anyone else food poisoning, but bringing up my famous BBQ sandwiches reminds me of a darker moment in my culinary history. So I prefer to keep things simple when it comes to food. How simple? If I cant leave it to the microwave to do 84% of the work, then its not worth the effort.
Thats why I rely on hot dogs and instant oatmeal so much, I suppose. Hot dogs make a quick lunch or dinner, and they go great with any potato-based side dish. Meanwhile, oatmeal makes a solid breakfast meal; say what you will, but its delicious AND nutritious. Though I suppose Im not much of a good measure; Ive liked broccoli since I was four, so yeah, odd tastes.
9) Voltech is a thinker, not a fighter or a sportsman, or anything involving athleticism.
Apparently, I have a big head. My brother gave me crap for it when we were younger (and still rides me for it every now and then). My mom said my head was big ever since I was a baby. I have a distinct memory of my dad poking fun at the shape of my head. I try not to put too much stock in it, but I suppose it would explain why Im awful at sports. When I was in Little League, I got smacked by the ball and cried in almost every game. When I played basketball in P.E. one year, I went for a lay-up and ended up falling flat on my ass (and no, the ball didnt go through the hoop). Me playing soccer involves me mostly getting kicked in the calves by girls.
But what I lack in sports hero potential, I make up for with intelligence? Sure, lets call it that.
Made it into college on a scholarship, and got no lower than a B-average in any class during my stay. Won a few awards in writing contests. Know the difference between affect and effect. You know what they say about people with big heads? Well actually, I dont. I dont even know why I brought it up. But when people say Im the smartest black guy theyve ever known, I take that as a compliment. Er mostly.
8) Voltech once slipped on a banana peel in the name of science.
Sometimes smart people will do dumb things if its for a good cause. Such was the case one summer afternoon, when Id just finished eating a banana and was about to throw away the peel. I was outside at the time, in the familys garage, so throwing it away meant partaking in the asinine act of walking out of the garage, heading around the backyard, and dumping it in the trash can outside. It seemed like a waste of time and effort.
And then I had a thought: could that ancient ritual of slipping on a bananas citrine sheath, codified by countless cartoons of old, possibly hold truth? I had to investigate. I had to put all my reservations to rest. And thus, I flung the peel to the ground and stepped upon it. It worked like a charm.
Though, to be fair, I doubt I could reproduce the same effect in different conditions. I didnt bother to take in the lurking variable of the garages floor -- a surface that had probably been slickened by the oils and fluids from vehicles. Silly me, conducting an experiment without a control in place
7) Voltech can write up to 6,000 words a day (in perfect conditions).
Those of you that have seen my blog posts before know that I can get a little shall we say, wordy. Its been a consistent problem of mine for years. It goes as far back as elementary school; when third-graders were content with making 6-page short stories, I wrapped it up at the 25-page mark. When papers only had to be about 1,800 words, I slipped in one that nudged just past 3,100. (I think that when it came to papers, it was a passive-aggressive attempt to get revenge on my teachers for assigning me essays and reports in the first place. If I have to suffer, so do you!).
Ive confessed several times that my four favorite things in the world are writing, hot dogs, power metal, and video games. I tend to indulge in all four, given the chance. Therefore, I tend to write like a madman at times (i.e. often), regardless of word count or word limit or how sleepy I am. That might go to explain why I have several 360+ page files on my laptop right now. It was just one big file, but well, Word tended to crash if I so much as scrolled a page when it was loading.
6) Voltech once ran down an escalator going up.
Believe it or not, this wasnt done in the name of science. Arguably, it was a matter of life or death.
I was at the campus bookstore, and had just grabbed a few books for the day. Unfortunately, the stores setup proved disastrous; the books I needed were on the second floor, accessible only by a pair of escalators -- one up, one down -- and an elevator for employee use only. In my haste (and because Id zoned out on my trip thanks to some metal blasting through my ears), I didnt bother thinking about how I was going to get down. The escalator was out of order. Kaput.
I could have stood around waiting for the elevator traffic to clear up. Or -- again, with metal setting my heart ablaze -- I could man up and go down the up-escalator. How hard could it be? I asked myself. Besides, Im a relatively healthy male; I can handle this, no problem! As it turns out, the task is harder than youd expect; those hoping to head down with a leisurely stroll would find themselves back at the top in a moments time. You have to move quickly, almost as if breaking into a jog.
Only the strong -- or sufficiently hare-brained -- can surmount those scheming steel steps.
5) Voltech wants to get published this year and become the embodiment of hope.
Keeping up the one goofy item, one semi-impressive item trend, heres something that should be very obvious by now. As Ive said, I fancy myself a writer. Ive got stuff thats (kinda-sorta) ready to go, I spend most of my days rat-a-tat-tapping at my laptop, and theres the whole going to college to improve my skills thing. Id wager its time to put that stuff to the test, yes?
My goal is to get published by virtue of some manly-ass stories. Stories that feature ghost-punching, samurai-slashing, Godzilla-wrestling, hero-filled adventures for the ages -- I want to write stuff that can put a smile on readers faces. And more than that, I want to pave the way for other would-be writers with a dream -- people with skills and aspirations that surpass my own ten times over. People need heroes; I want to be the guy that helps bring more of them into the public conscious.
Id argue I have a better chance of success in that regard than being a doctor. Peoples insides are gooey.
4) Voltech has a fixation on the number 4.
Four is such an awesome number. Its the basic foundation of every element of construction. It makes games like Four Square and hands like Four of a Kind possible. Its a much-maligned emblem of death and misfortune in Asian cultures, thanks to the fact that a word for it, shi, is synonymous with the word for death. Wait
Maybe its just because I have a propensity for getting entangled with the number four. Im the fourth member of a family of four (excluding two dogs). My favorite color is green, the fourth color of the rainbow. My senior class in high school had about four hundred forty students. I was born at about 4 P.M. I could go on, but Im running out of examples.
Anyway, four rules. Odd numbers can suck it.
3) Voltech hates being called a genius.
Weird, huh? Normally its used as a compliment, but I always get a little tense when someone calls me that.
I guess you could say Im smart. Not the smartest, but smart enough to get by. I know that there are a lot of guys out there that are better than me, smarter than me, more skilled than me, what have you. Ive met my fair share of them. Its nice knowing that I can use the skills I have to help people, but Ive got my limits. The problem is that, when someone calls you a genius, they assume you dont have any. That you know everything. That whatever problems they have, you can solve them.
And I certainly dont. But it puts a lot of pressure on me when people expect me to have all the answers, or have everything under control. When I was in second grade, people thought I was the best of the best; what would they have done, knowing that I had trouble spelling Mississippi or Tennessee? How could I face them if they knew I wasnt an ace at long division? It bugged the hell out of me, knowing that I was on call for info or instructions at any moment, even if I didnt know. And it bugged me even more, looking at their crestfallen faces when I had to turn them away with a quiet I dont know.
So yeah. Dont call me a genius, unless you want to see me get as morose as I just did here. Besides, we writers have to maintain our modesty.
2) Voltech hopes to one day own a giant robot. (Barring that, a mech of sizable proportions.)
This should go without saying.
1) Voltech is the self-proclaimed Eternal Optimist.
Surging lightning, purifying the heavens! The Emerald Thunderbolt charges through the sky! Evildoers, fear the flash of my halberd! For I am !
...a bit of a ham.
Ahem. Yeah, I can be pretty weird at times. Pretty crazy, too. Pretty smart, pretty ambitious, pretty irreverent, pretty hare-brained, pretty opinionated, and pretty dedicated to a certain broccoli-style coiffure. But amidst it all, Im a glass-half-full kind of guy. People are good, and life is good -- and even when theyre not, they have the potential to become better. That applies in more ways than one; I believe in human potential, skill, and ingenuity more than anything else in the world.
Why? Because of video games, obviously. Ignoring the fact that in games, even a humble, fairy-less ten-year-old can grow up to become a nightmare-slaying guardian of time, think about the hobby we all love so much. Theyre getting bigger, fancier, more popular, more intricate; our ability to create has evolved, and will continue to evolve. Weve done amazing things so far, us humans -- and its only a matter of time before we go even further.
And rest assured, Ill do what I can to fulfill my lofty opinions. Itd be pretty hypocritical of me not to, dont you think?
...Because justice will prevail.
Bonus: Voltech wants to see this picture in an internet meme.
I think you guys know what to do.

Starring: Aaron Schwartz, Ben Stiller, Tom McGowan, Shaun Weiss, Kenan Thompson, Tom Hodges Director: Steven Brill » See full cast & crew Heavyweights Blu-ray, Video QualityThe AVC encoded image (1.78:1 aspect ratio) presentation keeps in line with other Disney catalog titles, with minimal effort provided to bring the movie to life on Blu-ray. A mild amount of filtering is detected along with solidified blacks, making evening sequences unnecessarily impenetrable, while the general muted quality of the transfer prevents the effort from looking fresh and cinematic. Skintones come across inconsistent, with a few overly hot moments causing concern. The illuminating power of daylight brings out the best in the presentation, with a good read of primaries, finding costuming a particular delight to study, while foresty hues also make a positive impression. Fine detail is acceptable, with the reasonably crisp image keeping food fight particulars and sweat sharp, while camp interior are easily surveyed. Print is fine shape, with little noticeable debris. Heavyweights Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe 5.1 DTS-HD MA sound mix is a stable listening event with limited surround activity. Scoring is perhaps the only element that reaches around the viewer, and while it lacks a truly immersive quality, the music is crisply defined and full. Soundtrack cuts also sound satisfactory, carrying an adequate low-end to bring some depth to the mix, while soaring without distortion when time calls for montages or party sequences. Dialogue exchanges are cleanly presented with a secure front stage, with a swell of pubescent voices easily managed. Potential for clutter is avoided though a simplistic aural design, yet the overall chaos of the track is never harsh. Sound effects are sharply defined for comedic effect.

text: [[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wolfen-dvd-cover_4620.jpg]]'''''Wolfen''''' is a 1981 horror-mystery film [[TheFilmOfTheBook based]] upon the novel by Whitley Strieber. The plot follows NYPD Detective Dewey Wilson, who is assigned to solve a bizarre series of violent murders in which it appears the victims were killed by animals. In his investigation, Wilson learns of an Indian legend about wolf spirits, and that there may be predatory shapeshifters living in the vicinity.The film was released the same year as ''Film/AnAmericanWerewolfInLondon'' and ''Film/TheHowling''. While ''Wolfen'' didn't meet the success of those films, it was well received by critics and is somewhat of a CultClassic.----!! The following tropes can be used to describe the film:* BizarreAlienSenses: Possibly the first film to use thermographic footage to illustrate this trope.* BlackComedy: There are some moments of this.* CulturalPosturing: The film is pretty low key in this regard until the last act, when the protagonist arrives shell shocked at a Native American bar after his friend was mauled by a wolf. The Native American characters (one of whom is a Latino) begin rapid fire exposition/cultural posturing as they affirm their way of life is better, the wolf spirits are above our morality, white man's technology has failed him, and he's basically facing gods dishing out divine punishment. * DangerTakesABackSeat: At one point, a wolfen is shown to be hiding in the backseat of a detectives car.* {{Gorn}}: While it's not quite so gory by today's standards, the wolves do rip out people's throats, bite off hands, bite off heads, etc. * LosingYourHead: Near the end one character's throat is torn out by a wolf, resulting in his head ending up separate from his body. When it's obvious from the attempted mouthing of words and blinking that the head is still functional, [[ShoottheFuelTank a colleague shoots the car he's next to,]] [[MercyKill putting him out of his misery]].* MagicalNativeAmerican: {{Subverted|Trope}}. See TransformationSequence below. * NothingIsScarier: You don't even get to see the beasts until halfway through the film. * OhCrap: Two such moments happen during the climax of the film. One is particularly amusing as a wolf [[DangerTakesABackseat materializes in a car]] with one of the characters.* RealAfterAll: The characters get to have a moment where it seems the whole big to-do was a hoax, then they walk outside and they learn just how dangerous the wolfen are.* SavageWolves: The monsters of the story are mystical wolf-like creatures called "Wolfen".* SomewhereAMammalogistIsCrying: Wolves apparently have thermographic vision in this Verse. Not just wolfen, but ''regular'' wolves.* SparedByTheAdaptation: Several of the Wolfen pack* ThisIsWhatTheBuildingWillLookLike: Dewey smashes the model of the building that was going to be build on wolfen's land, so that they'll realizes that he isn't a threat and stop attacking.* TransformationSequence: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Eddie Holt strips naked and makes a bunch of lupine noises and gestures, but it appears he's just messing with Dewey's head.----

New business in the Valley
The OLD Yorkville Mini Mart that closed last year has been completly rebuilt by Lisa and Jud Hale into the new YORKVILLE MARKET with lots of new stuff and things. The full commerical kitchen will soon be serving breakfast and lunch. In addition to the normal milk, eggs, soft drinks and beer cooler they are also selling local olive oil and local wine. At a grand opening breakfast on January 25 locals from far and wide came to check the place out with Dennis Walsh staffing the kitchen stove. The market is located at mile marker 41.29 on highway 128 in "downtown" Yorkville. It is the first place (or the last place, depending on which way you are going) to have a cup of coffee or a beer in the Anderson Valley. Lisa opens at 6am Monday through Friday and 8:30 on Saturday and Sunday. Jud is also the wine maker at the new Hale winery on Hulbert Road. The winery uses the grapes from the Walsh Vineyard, on Hulbert Road. The Yorkville Market will also have a wine tasting bar featuring wines from the Hale Winery. |
Where is Anderson Valley?Anderson Valley is located between mile marker 9 and mile marker 50 on highway 128 in Northern California. Boonville is the center of the valley in activity and population and is about two and a half hours north of San Francisco and about thirty minutes from the Pacific Coast. Highway 128 is a twisty two laner that runs between Cloverdale and coastal highway 1. It is heavly traveled on the week-ends by tourist from the San Francisco Bay Area headed to and from Mendocino Village and Fort Bragg on the Mendocino Coast. The valley is sparsely populated on mostly large parcels with most people living in the hills and not in the communities listed above. You can also visit Boonville by flying into the Boonville Airport which is a 10 minute walk to downtown. What do we do

An Air Force crash report says four members of a North Carolina Air National Guard plane fighting Western wildfires died last summer when the crew misjudged conditions and flew into a wind burst that slammed them to the ground.
The accident investigation report released Wednesday said a C-130 air tanker fighting a wildfire in the South Dakota Black Hills crashed because the crew made an "inadequate assessment" of conditions and flew into a microburst.
Four of the six crew members from a North Carolina Air National Guard unit flying the plane died July 1. Two crewmen were injured.
A microburst is a narrow wind gust that rushes downward out of a thunderstorm. A plane flying through it at low altitude can quickly lose the lift that keeps it aloft.

Doggie goes too
You may well be surprised at the places you come across people with their dogs.
As dog lovers we didn't have a problem with it, as the dogs were well-behaved, but we were certainly surprised to see them in shops, including food outlets, the underground railway and the airport. -
Ride in a Fiaker
I should say straight away that we didn't do this, though it does seem to me to be a pleasant way to see the sights, albeit not a cheap one at 55€ for a 20 minute ride and 80€ for a 40 minute one (summer 2014 prices, applying to the carriage not per person). But these two-horse carriages have been a part of the Vienna landscape for so long that it is impossible to ignore them. Indeed, it is likely that you will smell them even before you see them, as the streets around Stephansdom and Stephansplatz itself, where most wait to pick up rides, are redolent with the scent of the horses' dung. Never mind, they are part of Vienna and your nose will soon adjust!
They have been here for centuries, but the trade was formalised in the early 18th century when the carriages were first numbered and officially called Fiakers (after the French fiacre, which in turn was taken from the Parisian street where hackney carriages stood, the Rue de Saint Fiacre). At one point there were over a thousand in the city and although fewer today, you might not think so when you see them thronging the city centre streets. They make an elegant addition to photos of the various sights.

Grinzing and its Heurigen
We came to Vienna on this occasion to attend a wedding, which took place in the suburb of Döbling. After the service we were able to walk to the wedding party which was in a Heuriger in the neighbouring suburb, Grinzing.
A Heuriger is a traditional drinking and eating establishment in eastern Austria, and a wonderful invention! This is a rich wine-growing area, and Heurigen (the plural form) are all about wine. Most serve only the wine of the grower who owns and runs them – they are both bar and also a tasting opportunity. Our friends often go to a Heuriger, try a selection of wines during the evening and then buy bottles of those they like the most. Food can be bought too, but usually only as an accompaniment to the wine – small cold dishes such as bread rolls (Semmel), cold meats, a spread or two, some cheese. Many Heurigen, especially in the small villages, open only a few weeks a year when the new wine is first available, and they indicate that they are open with a large conifer branch or bundle of twigs above the entrance.
But in Vienna, especially in Grinzing where a Heuriger is as much a tourist destination as a local one, there is a blurring between these and a traditional restaurant. Some serve wine from other producers, many serve more elaborate food and most are open year round. The one we went to, on the border between Döbling and Grinzing, was the Heuriger Muth and was very much on these lines, but it still felt very traditional and local. We had a large section of the pretty shaded garden for ourselves, but later the other part was in use and I observed that it was almost entirely occupied by local families, not tourists. And this despite being just around the corner from a tourist spot, the house where Beethoven once lived and where he wrote his "Heiligenstadt Testament" (a letter to his brothers expressing his despair over his increasing deafness).
We had a lovely time at the wedding, enjoying great wines, good food, music, dancing and conversation. Even if it isn't a special occasion, an evening at a Heuriger is the perfect way to experience a very Viennese pleasure.

We met fellow VT'er http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/10d250/ at the Station and he took us to the Naschmarkt.
This was early evening, so it was fairly quiet, but golly, was I impressed with the size of this market. It stretched forever, well 1.5kms if you want the exact measurement! I loved it, the variety of stalls was wonderful!
A market has been here since the 16th century when mainly milk bottles, fruits and vegetables were sold here. I think you could buy anything here now, there was such a variety! Fruit and vegetables, herbs, cheese, meats, pastries, seafood, then small restaurants offering sushi, kebab, seafood, traditional Viennese food, then stalls selling clothes and accessories and really, anything else you can think of!
If you enjoy markets, I think you will enjoy this one!
The Naschmarkt is open from Monday to Saturday
On Saturday a famous flea market is held right next door.

Isn't it great when you find a city that has FREE WATER available!
I think Vienna should be congratulated for providing free water for the locals and the large number of tourists who come to their city. It saves us some money as we can refill instead of buying a new bottle of water.

Vienna in May
I visit Vienna for the first time on first day of May in 2013. I was surprise how first "Day of Labour" is important holiday in Austria. As I arrived with organized bus tour I saw many people with posters on Rathausplatz, the square in front of Vienna City Hall.
I heard that this is tradition and there are many left-wing activists that free and peaceful demonstrate against current government and criticized current socioeconomic and political situation in country.
We didn't stay long. That all means that we miss time of socialized that was set after in City.Related to:- Historical Travel

Roger Waters in Vienna
I grew up with rock n' roll and it's my music and culture. Beatles for me were a bit corny, the more I like some "wild" guys; Rolling Stones, Yardbirds, Animals, J. Hendeix, Cream, CCR...... and then came Pink Floyd, perhaps the best rock band in the history. Whenever I'm tired or listless and even frustrated, listening to the music of Pink Floyd helps me to relax and lift my mood.
Poster for Roger Waters concert in Vienna came as ordered, I sat down on the bench opposite the poster and heard "Mother", which is always recorded in my android. -
Free water in center area
Place where I live (Vilnius) is quite known for good quality water (even it is already in mineral water category, we drink it from tap). I think Vienna has the same, anyway, one more great thing, that I loved, is water - machines (or how to name it) in Vienna central streets.
You can drink water just in the street. Without any fees or so. -
Sigmund Freud Park
Public city parks are places where artists like to exhibit their sculptures, improving the whole area and making it more beautiful. Park visitors should admire work of art, or if not, at least ignoring them. Some visitors, and it is very obvious, have totally different ideas about the purpose of sculptures in public areas.
On the first monument there are visible remnants of the night party, such as food, beverage and even part of the clothing. Whoever did it, have demonstrated extreme primitivism and lack of manners. -
The "riviera" of Vienna
Vienna Promenade, which stretches along the Danube Canal, is a popular promenate and gathering place of idle Viennese. The canal is embanked and except for the walk there are still many small bars. At several points of the bank there is a small "riviera", oasis with sand and deck chairs where people can enjoy sunbathing. In another section there is a small exhibition space displaying posters, graffiti and other street creations.
Gösser Märzen
Let's make no secret of it. I do like a nice cold glass of beer. Being abroad is always a challenge to find a beer I like, which reflects my particular taste of having a beer. In Austria it was sometimes rather difficult. I found out that there are quite some local beers, only known in that particular area. But anyway, we did like the Gösser Märzen.
Göss's brewing history goes back 1,000 years: Beer has been brewed in the Styrian convent Göss since 1020. Back then beer brewing was reserved for women – this may perhaps be one reason why it has such appeal to the stronger sex ...? Today the Göss brewery is one of the most modern in Austria. I liked this Gösser Märzen, because its is a light coloured Lager beer and has a mild aroma of malt and a refreshingly dry flavour derived from the balanced addition of the hops.Related to:- Food and Dining

Voltage, frequency and plug ins.
Maybe it sounds a bit weird, but as an experience traveler I know that you every now and then need this kind of information in advance: electricity in Austria is 230 Volts, alternating at 50 cycles per second. If you travel to Austria with a device that does not accept 230 Volts at 50 Hertz, you will need a voltage converter.
There are three main types of voltage converter. Resistor-network converters will usually be advertised as supporting something like 50-1600 Watts. They are light-weight and support high-wattage electrical appliances like hair dryers and irons. However, they can only be used for short periods of time and are not ideal for digital devices. Some companies sell combination converters that include both a resistor network and a transformer in the same package. This kind of converter will usually come with a switch that switches between the two modes. If you absolutely need both types of converter, then this is the type to buy.
Outlets in Austria generally accept 1 type of plug: Two round pins (see the picture). If your appliances plug has a different shape, you may need a plug adapter. Depending on how much you plan to travel in the future, it may be worthwhile to get a combination voltage converter and plug adapter.Related to:- Family Travel

Talko to someone who knows ...
I guess we all agree on this on; there is nothing more exciting than going travelling - exploring another country, experiencing a different culture, travelling around in new ways, sampling the local cuisine and chatting to the local people for a different perspective on life.
However during our travels we learned that there is one certain thing that you should be aware of and prepared for to make sure that the trip is as easy and enjoyable as possible. We always try to see everything once we're there, but this is not always an act of responsible travelling. We always talk to the locals and we know that they have the information about just the right spots to visit and how to undertake them. It will not only enhance your experiences but also avoid any unnecessary hassles.
For me the travel tips I have written down in this section made the most of mine travel experience and I came home in the same happy, healthy state that I left.Related to:- Hiking and Walking

Get your fill of Viennese pastries
Viennese pastries are so famous, the word "viennoiseries" was expressely invented to refer to pastries made in Vienna. These include a wide variety of croissants, strudels, brioches, etc. These pastries are widely available all over the city, whether it be at local bakeries or local chains such as Anker or Cafe Der Mann. The one thing all these bakeries have in common is a wide selection of fresh bakeries and freshly brewed coffee. It seems to be the habit in Vienna to pick up breakfast at one of these places in the morning, and so during our week-long stay in the city we immitated the locals and grabbed a delicously sweet (and inexpensive) breakfast every morning. We even grabbed lunch there (usually sandwiches) on more than once occasion.

No. 5: Tech Startups Flee To The Cleve -- Cleveland, Ohio
Cleveland over the past decade has made attracting young tech startups to set up shop downtown its goal; Cleveland Mayor Jane L. Campbell appointed in 2004 Michael DeAloia, now vice president of Expedient, a Cleveland-based co-location, network and managed data services specialist, as its "tech czar," tasking him with the job of recruiting tech companies to the downtown area by enticing them with high-speed fiber networks that run under the city's downtown streets to a number of "high-tech offices." Before stepping down as the city's "tech czar" in 2007, DeAloia told Cleveland.com that he'd been "assured that the work he started will be continued." And, continue it did.
According to JumpStart, a Cleveland-based technology accelerator, in 2012 The Cleve nabbed nearly $201 million, up 34 percent from 2011, in funding for tech startup companies from venture capitalists and angel investors. And Cleveland saw double-digit growth when it came to year-over-year salary, growing from $68,519 in 2011 to $75,773 in 2012 for a 10.6 percent increase.

How was nickel plating done before electricity? Can anyone refer me to a reference for this? Thanks.

Electroless nickel plating (EN) is an auto-catalytic chemical technique used to deposit a layer of nickel-phosphorus or nickel-boron alloy on a solid workpiece, such as metal or plastic. The process relies on the presence of a reducing agent, for example hydrated sodium hypophosphite (NaPO2H2·H2O) which reacts with the metal ions to deposit metal. The alloys with different percentage of phosphorus, ranging from 2-5 (low phosphorus) to up to 11-14 (high phosphorus) are possible. The metallurgical properties of alloys depend on the percentage of phosphorus. This technique did not come along until the mid 1800s, so electroplating was already being done. Bright nickel requires a DC power supply.
Remember that plating does add a layer onto the metal. Some parts may require fitting afterwards.
Amendment II: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Life Member NRA Life Member NAHC Former President of the ECPT (Eifel Combat Pistol Team)
I think electricity has been around for a long time. Longer than we have been commonly using it, at least. Wasn't electricity harnessed in the mid to late 1800's?
I don't see what the problem is. Everybody is being nice, and getting along, and I, for one, am learning stuff. So, if you don't like the discussion, don't look at the thread. Or, simply cut to the chase, and close it. _________________ Is there an age limit for a thread, after which we kill it?
Electroplating nickel usually gets a thin layer of copper (called a strike) on the steel first. Then the nickel goes on. One problem that can come up is the copper layer can be damaged when using cleaners that contain ammonia. Then the nickel plating can come loose.
And again an Internet myth is perpetuated! Most, if not all, gun makers do not underplate with copper. It is not necessary. Electricity use has been around for a long time. Much longer than most people think. Rudimentary plating can be accomplished by simply mixing the proper solution and immersing the item.

Blayne's Second Design Dilemma: Solved
Oh happy day! Blayne just sent us the after pictures for her recent living room makeover and we couldn't be more excited to share them. You may remember that we whipped up this custom mood board for her a little over a month ago. Here's the before picture to refresh your memory:
And here's the mood board we whipped up for her (see more details here):
Here's the lighter and brighter after thanks to a new furniture arrangement, a blue fireplace accent wall, breezy curtains, a punchy graphic rug, and a few fabulous accessories:
We were especially inspired by Blayne's request for a room that "feels beachy in the sense that you would feel like if you looked out the window you might see the ocean." And this breezy bay of windows makes the room feel light and airy and oh so stunning. The fact that they're $9.99 Ikea panels paired with some discount store bamboo blinds is the icing on the cake.
Here's what Blayne had to say about her living room makeover:
"I was amazed at how much bigger and brighter it looks! And my husband loves it too. Yay! I was so excited to show it off that I invited some friends over last night. Everyone loved it. A few people who had never been over before commented that they loved the way the living room and bedroom were decorated (thanks John and Sherry!). I'm so happy to come home to this gorgeous room!" – Blayne
So what do you guys think? Didn't Blayne do a steller job with her living room?! Oh and do you remember her bedroom makeover from a little while ago? It just feels so good to help such a lovely lady spiff up two of her rooms. Hooray for after pictures!
Update: We sadly can no longer find the time to take on client commissioned mood boards (we now whip up general inspiration boards instead) but if we ever reinstate them we'll make a big announcement!

Great transformation! I love the rug.
It looks tons better! I like the rug, too, even though I don't like pastels that much.
Where did she put that huge TV?
It's gorgeous. I love the slipper chair.
And, thanks for addressing where the TV was. I was wondering the same thing. =)
I'm in love with that rug! It is just perfect.
And the room does look tons bigger. So light–great job, Blayne (and John & Sherry)!
Three cheers for before-and-after posts!! :-)
awesome makeover!
Gorgeous makeover, they did a great job! Fabulous suggestions!
Looks great! Even though I read the moodboard when you first posted it I was hoping for pics of the wall with the tv as well to see how that looks. Are there white blinds on the windows as well or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
Any idea where the bambook blinds are, and if they're the kind that roll-up (Roman Shade style, I think)?
Do you know where she got her slipper chair? I love it! Great job!!
Wow…that's a beautiful transformation with the existing furniture piece. I like the clean & crisp look.
the change is incredible, the whole room feels bigger en fresher. Great job!
This makeover is lovely! It really suits my taste–I might have to copy some of this. :-)
My favorite accessory? The cat on the back of the couch. We have something similar–a dog that appears somewhere in every photo of the house I take.
this looks amazing. the room is so much brighter and the blue fireplace accent wall looks great. i have the same white ikea drapes and bamboo roman shades from target in my office and love them.
I'm curious what happened to the fish. . . .did I see a smile on the cat's face?
Oh my goodness I have that rug AND that Dolce lounge chair AND the same color walls AND a brown couch. Sadly my living room doesn't look quite as spiffed up as this. Sigh…
I'm getting there though. I think I just need more lighting and some stuff for the walls. I wonder where she got those side tables? -
I am not a huge fan of area rugs over carpet. i do love the target chair. is it comfortable?
It looks fabulous! I love the fireplace wall the light blue. Blayne definitely pulled off beachy even with with her dark leather sofas.
I'm glad everyone seems to like it almost as much as I do! Regarding the windows… There are 3 layers. White, 2 in wood blinds (for darkening as needed), the roll up shades which are actually burlap shades that I sewed with dowels in the hem, then rolled up and secured with jute twine, and the wonderful $10 (per pair!) Ikea curtains. The fish moved into the kitchen although my husband says he may want to move them back in, on the wall under the three shell pictures. The TV wall is on my blog, although I think it needs a picture above the entertainment center, it is pretty monochrome. The side tables are from Target (Victoria Hagen perfect pieces Darby table). And I do love the Dolce chair, it has gotten a lot more use than the chair that used to be there. Thanks for all the comments!
you guys have done such a great job on both of her room makeovers – love the before and afters!
Congrats to Blayne for pulling it off and to Sherry/John for the mood board! Stunning transformation!
Wow! Looks great :)
Looks fantastic. I knew that leather furniture could easily transition. Nicely done!!
Wow! It looks amazing!!
It looks great!! Kudos to Blayne for getting the work done so we can see one of the luscious moodboards in (virtual) real life.
Great job, Sherry, John and Blayne!
This might be the icing on the cake. I might have to hire you to do our dining room and take it from dark to light and airy. But…that will have to wait till after Easter because I gave up shopping for Lent!! Perhaps with the money I save I'll be able to hire you two!

I think this is an awesome area, I've been climbing there for years with Greg, the only things sucky are the hike and some of the trails around the climbs, which is really not that bad. Some routes which are not posted are awesome too! Nice area when you are sick of crowds!!! |
By Tosh Peters From: Park City, UT Oct 25, 2007 |
This is a really fun wall with a great view. |
By Boissal From: Small Lake, UT Jun 2, 2008 |
The approach is not that bad, a bit under 1/2 hour of not particularly steep ground. The silk worms were the only issue this weekend, it was a full blown invasion up there. There is an alternate gully east of Heart Wall for the descent, it's all sand so you can run down in about 2 minutes. Don't try going up it though, you'd be there for hours. |
By Ryan Arnold Jul 14, 2012 |
The animal trail going north from the sandy area is easy to miss the first time. After hiking up the lower half of the ridge and scrambling over some small boulders, you reach a flat sandy clearing. If you look ahead of you (east) there's a sandy trail switchbacking further up a small hill along the ridge. Go to the north end of the sandy clearing and watch for a trail angling slightly down and east into Big Cottonwood. |
By pat campana Aug 28, 2013 |
This wall is great! I can't believe it isn't more popular. I enjoyed the routes just as much if not more than anything in ferguson canyon proper. Its not that chossy. Hike up the ridge until you see a small stone careen i just built and follow the trail of to the left if you facing east. |

I don't know much about the inner workings of the E-type but the external lines were (and are) superb. The model illustrated seems externally to be a sort of generic sports car design of the last two decades. How I would love to own an E-type or a classic MG sports car.
Tonight! Hammond sits on a chair. James drives very slowly. And I drive the most beautiful Jag ... in the world.
Agree - £60k-£80k, the price of a new F-type, would buy a nicely restored E-type - no contest.
The E-Type was terrible to drive on country roads - all that bonnet out in front. IMO, though, its very 1960s flash was not a patch on the beauty that was the XK 140 or 150. Same engine, until they put in the v-12.
But why, oh why, does it take an Indian company to show the British car industry how it's done? I notice Royal Enfield motorcycles are alive and thriving in India, too.
I am rooting for the success of Jaguar.
It is yet another instance of the vision of Mr. Ratan Tata, an Indian businessman with values that Indians can be proud of.

I do know about the inner workings of an e type my father had an example in parts for years and when 17 used to drive it the get petrol and it often refused to start. It has spaceframe chassis independant rear suspendion. Inner disks at the back.
Track width limited by wheels in body meant that e type did not handle as well as it may have but far better than other period cars as most still ran on cart springs live axel. Like the MG you meantion. I my self owned an mgb.
It may look similar to an etype but the drive is more like that of a van in comparison. The etype engines sounds fanstic for a 6 cylinder and is powerful for its day even when i was 17 15 years ago i rember reading performance states in car magazines to compare the etype with modern cars. its performce on paper compare well will sports cars of the day (in handling and breaking in part due to tire techology did not ). May be not so much now with the new muscle car age but still not bad at all.
In my view jaguar make the finest luxary salloon car in the world Xj they make rivals look frumpey while still looking stately when the prime minter arrives in.
That's pronounced with a very long A. As in Ja-a-a-ag.
I remember Jaguar dealers in the US opposing Tata's acquisition of JLR. Would they oppose something like this today as well? The point someone made about Royal Enfield... its competing with Harley Davidsons in India now. - and - its exporting big time as well. But then WHY OH WHY - can't the English do it themselves?
Lovely looking car, but no mention of performance and the price tag at £60k+ seems a little steep.
I have a marketing slogan that would sell the Jag like hotcakes!
