Our Knowledge Base covers a wide variety of technical topics, from the basic to the complex.
1. I have a time of day field set up as military time but when it exports to Excel it converts to normal time and adds AM/PM.
For example, 18:00 exports as 6:00 PM.
2. I have a duration field that is exporting differently than on the view.
For example, 2:30 exports as 2.5 hours.
It is possible and quite easy to import data into QuickBase in such a way that it will update existing records. The key to being able to do this is that you must include the key field so that QuickBase knows exactly what records to update. By default the key field is the "Record ID" field.
You should go through these steps to export then reimport records:
Most QuickBase data will export seamlessly into Microsoft Excel. However, there are some cases when data is lost or displayed with the incorrect formatting.
One example is exporting a 5-digit zip code stored in a text field. When displayed in Excel, any leading zeroes in the zip code are lost. Similar problems can happen when exporting ID numbers, etc.
You can find the QuickBase HTTP API guide here:
You can always access the API guide using the HTTP API Documentation link on the main page of the QuickBase Innovation Network. You can also access the API guide from the QuickBase online help.
The API enables you to do all of the following: - Add records - Edit existing records - Change permissions on a QuickBase application - Get and modify the schema of an application - Change the properties of a field - Find database IDs by database name - Clone a database - Get records one at time or by executing queries - Delete records - Manage Users and Roles
By default the QuickBase API returns information in XML format.
But API_GetRecordAsHTML and API_GenResultsTable return HTML tables. API_GenResultsTable can also return records as CSV (comma separated values) and as (TSV) tab separated values.
The only API call that returns a ticket as a cookie is the API_Authenticate call. So if you want to do several API calls one after another you either have to supply a username and password for each call or you can start with the API_Authenticate call and it will return a ticket as a cookie.
Every API call includes an optional rdr parameter. This tells the browser what page to go to when the API action completes successfully. Within the limit of a URL you may include as many API commands as you want.
Sure! Apps in the QuickBase Exchange are provided to help you get started, so once you download one you can customize all aspects of the application.
It depends on where you are searching from.
When you perform a search from the My Apps page, you are searching the Name, Description, and Manager fields of all applications. The search results list all of the applications to which you have access that fit the search criteria.

The obvious meaning is that this is a Night Cache in Paradise Park. It is intended to be found after dark and if you manage to find it in the daylight (without a phone-a-friend) I bow to your Mojo.
The other meaning occurred to me while I was there on a Saturday night working on the set up. It has to do with the number of teen muggles that come to the park after dark on weekends seeking a little piece of paradise for themselves. Some of them do so semi-innocently with a partner, others by smoking less-than-legal substances, so beware of parked cars in the dark. A little informal surveillance showed that most of this only happens on Friday and Saturday nights. The rest of the week muggles don't seem to be an issue.
To find the cache go to the above coordinates after sunset (full dark is best) and look around for a yellow light. No, not a reflector or the street light or the one on the cell-tower, a small, dim, yellow light that obviously doesn't belong where it is. Here is even a hint that will tell you something about the light you seek.... If it has been raining all day, the light probably won't appear. If you don't wait until it is fairly dark or have really sensitive eyes you will have a lot of trouble finding it.
Make note of the location of the light then make your way to where it is (you will lose sight of it along the way, it is ONLY visable from within a few feet of the listed coordinates) then break out a nice bright flashlight and start looking around for firetacks.
Follow the trail of firetacks until you see a group of three and search for the cache there. If you are standing right next to one tack you should always be able to see the next one. Look carefully, they are small.
Congrats to jcblough for FTF.

So cute! My two kitties have passed away, and although I used to grouch at them for shredding my neatly cut and stacked quilt pieces, they would sleep on a section of the quilt I was binding and keep me company while I hand stiched. Hard to imagine a creature on Earth with a better existance than a quilter's cat :)

You need to stop making awesome quilts. Your cats are turning into zombies!! They can't get through your house without getting sleepy. I am going to have to fly over there and do an intervention (maybe a catnapping). My cat may object to new family members :)

I'd be happy to be any kind of cat honestly - mine sleep anywhere they like. At the moment, one is sitting behind me on the back of the sofa, and the other is butted up against me and a cushion. Life of Riley indeed.
Yours is modelling the 'you can't move me, I look too cute' pose. Clever, very clever. - 26 February 2011 at 18:30

So funny. How is it that quilting and cats go hand in hand?? Mine are endlessly entertained with watching me toil and can't wait to be the first ones to give em a test ride (sometimes while still in progress).

Tom Metzger's Long March of Hate
On the night of November 12, 1988, a neo-Nazi skinhead gang in
Portland called the East Side White Pride attacked three Ethiopian
immigrants with a baseball bat and steel-toed boots; Seraw was
killed. Investigation into the murder revealed links between the
skinheads - three of whom were convicted of murder - and Metzger's
White Aryan Resistance.
Crucial among these links was a letter to the skinheads signed by
Metzger, which stated in part: "Soon you will meet Dave Mazzella,
our national vice-president, who will be in Portland to teach you
how we operate and to help you understand more about WAR...." Among
the operations Mazella taught the Portland gang was attacking people
of color. Mazzella later explained: "Tom Metzger said the only way
to get respect from skinheads is to teach them how to commit
violence against Blacks, against Jews, Hispanics, any minority. The
word will spread and they'll know our group is one you can respect."
Mazzella, who was not charged in connection with the murder, later
decideed to renounce his racist past and his ties to the Metzgers.
He did so by contacting ADL; he later revealed that while a WAR
member, he had cased the League's Los Angeles office several times,
planning to blow it up. Mazella became a key witness in the civil
lawsuit brought on behalf of Seraw's family by the Southern Poverty
Law Center (SPLC) and ADL.*
The jury awarded the Seraw family $12.5 million, distributed as
follows: WAR, $5 million; Tom Metzger, $3 million; his son John, $4
million; and two of the murderers, $500,000. Upheld on appeal on
April 20, 1993, this judgment is one of the largest civil verdicts
of its kind in U.S. history.

ease of booking at the last minute during a spontaneous road trip
mattress was really old and could feel the springs - not a good night sleep.
They are really nice remodeled rooms really clean and nice. Great customer service from a beautiful young lady and for the price you cant beat it il definatley be staying here again
Room was well equipped and very modern. Space wasn't too bad in size.
Housekeeping was very rude and incosiderate. I disliked the noise level and I believe most of it was because of the housekeeper. The front desk staff were very nice.
I like the larger than life painting of a Swedish Pirate that hangs in the center stairwell!
linens not so wonderful but adequate.
If anything the tiny pool.
It smelled horrible in all the rooms. The owner said he was only required to put a towel and a bar of soap in each room...not even toilet paper, which he reluctlantly gave me after my husband had already ran next door to buy some.
Normally I won' stay at anything less than a 2-1/2 star and I prefer 3 or better. However this was all that was available in the area and I found it to be quite clean and well updated. I would stay again.
Location, some of the staff
Carpet was not clean, blanket needed to be washed, towels was discolored, holes in the walls, water doesnt get hot enough, there so called breakfast wasnt up to code
Breakfast not included
It was convienent for the function we were attending.
The room had a tub and shower combo, but no way to plug the tub if you wanted to take a bath. We have stayed here before and the room we had before had a refrigerator, this one did not. The TV was kinda small for a place like this one.
For The Most Part Everything Was Nice. The Staff On All Shifts Were Very Friendly, Helpful.
The Only Thing I Hated Was The Tissues In The Bathroom. I Mean It's The Total Pitt's It Was Like Using The Bathroom At The Corner Gas Station.
Room was very nice & spacious. Complimentary b'fast was appreciated, when short on time.
Would have liked another waffle maker for b'fast.
The staff was frienfly and the room was wonderful.
We enjoyed everything
Staff, incredibly friendly and hospitable, room was perfect.
It's always well kept, clean & staff is always pleasant and helpful. It smells good throughout too. The ladies who manage the breakfast area are so nice & work super hard considering the chaos that can happen down there.
No. Stayed there several times now & it's always a great experience!
Clean and brand new hotel great room, and front desk was very nice
The Motel was at the end of there remodelation stage and the room that I stayed in was completely remodeled with new everything. .Very nice room from what Motel 6 is usually known for.
Didnt like that when I walked in to office clerk asked for my last name for my reservation and as im giving it, im cut off so that she can start a conversation with other staff member. She asked again, so I gave her my I.D. She walks off and starts talking to someone at counter about personal stuff instead of doing her job.... I went to sit down and waited for her to finish her gossip so I can get my room.
Its pretty quiet
The staff is very rude and the room aren't very clean or nice
Close to where we needed to be.
Noisy not only other customers but water pipes, upper floor creaking, 'FREE' breakfast was a good selling mark that was....well anyway.
Really clean, convenient, comfortable and quaint hotel walking distance to Subway, Jack in The Box, Walgreens, and several other restaurants. Staff was very friendly and the hotel was well kept. The kids had a great time at the pool which was indoor freeing us from the need of sunscreen.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

The Margarita: A cocktail worth celebrating
This month marks the anniversary of my monthly column, "Drinking Diaries." As such, I wanted to celebrate my all-time favorite cocktail, the margarita.
What inspires me most about cocktails are the nuances and possibilities of the ingredients, and the margarita reigns king in this sense. In its simplest form, it's a three-ingredient drink that includes fresh-squeezed lime juice, quality tequila and a kiss of orange liqueur that mixes for the perfect sweet and tart combination inside a salt-rimmed glass. Long gone are the hung-over memories of sweet, frozen slush from a pull lever, replaced by the simplicity and freshness of the original margarita I love.
All classic cocktails have a foggy first-pour, and this modern classic is no different. The prevailing credit of the margarita's invention goes to Margaret "Margarita" Sames, a Texas socialite who mixed the recipe of her favorite spirit, tequila, with Cointreau and fresh lime juice at a 1948 Christmas party in her Acapulco, Mexico, home.
All of the Hollywood guests loved it so much that they brought it across the border, and it spread east across the country as it gained the popularity it enjoys today.
The margarita practically introduced America to tequila, and for many people, to drink tequila is to drink a margarita.
What exactly is in that margarita, though, varies from bar to bar, and even bartender to bartender. Although the classic three-ingredient recipe should be simple, there's always the question of tequila preference, Cointreau, triple sec or Grand Marnier, frozen or on the rocks, fresh lime or sour mix, salt or no salt.
While variations abound, you can order a margarita anywhere and get a tequila-based, light-green cocktail, but I've done some footwork around town to find some of Naples' best margaritas that offer a fresh take on the classic or represent it well:
Basically best
Mr. Tequila Grill, 3126 U.S. 41 N., Naples, offers a handful of margarita options, including frozen and on-the-rocks 'ritas made with Jose Cuervo Gold and Grand Marnier.
These are made with house sour mix, but go right for the best margarita on the list. They call it the organic, low-calorie margarita, and I'll call it a proper cocktail. It combines Patron Silver tequila and Grand Marnier with fresh squeezed lime and orange juices, with a dash of club soda and organic blue agave nectar. Its popular Mister Margarona puts an upside down Coronita, which is a 7-ounce mini Corona beer, into a frozen margarita.
Bokamper's Sports Bar and Grill, 8990 Fontana Del Sol Way, off Vanderbilt Beach Road in North Naples, also combines the Coronita with the margarita, and they label it Bo's Big Rita. At 27 ounces of liquid, big it is. Most cocktail aficionados will insist on blue agave tequila, usually blanco (young and vegetal), sometimes reposado (oak-aged and smooth), and Bokamper's uses silver agave tequila with Cointreau, sour mix and lime juice with the Coronita.
Across the street, Agave Southwestern Grill celebrates tequila, and the margarita, too, with 24 margaritas and three margarita flights. One of their most popular, the mango sage margarita, adds a unique mix of mango puree, fresh sage, lime aide and a splash of 7-Up to Cazadores Tequila and Cointreau. They also use ingredients like pomegranate, peach and coconut, but stick to the silver, gold and premium options if you're searching for simplicity to equal excellence.
Best of the rest
Mr. Tequila, Bokamper's and Agave all pour tasty margaritas, but they're not the only ones. Here's a list of other margarita destinations, and why they are worth a try.
Roy's Hawaiian Fusion Cuisine, at the Bayfront in downtown Naples, for its watermelon and jalapeño margarita or its "Simply Perfect Margarita" with lime juice that makes for the perfect amount of sour.
The Dock, at Crayton Cove, for its "Margarita Madness" happy hour with flavored and classic margaritas by the glass or pitcher. I recommend the strawberry if you're in the mood for something a little sweet, or the "natural" for the simple three ingredients.
Tommy Bahama, on Third Street South in Naples, for its house-made sour mix with lemons and limes used in its Baja Margarita. It uses Cointreau and Grand Marnier if you like that top-of-the-line margarita.
Café Lurcat, 494 Fifth Ave. S., Naples, for a boozed-up take on the classic. It uses Patron Silver, Patron Citronage, Disaronno, fresh lime and orange juices with a touch of sour for its version of a margarita called the Prestige.
McCormick and Schmick's, 9114 Strada Place, in the Mercato, Naples, at the Mercato, for its use of fresh ingredients. You can't go wrong with the classic here with your choice of tequila if desired.

Cops remind me of that kid in kindergarten who would always tell the teacher if someone did something wrong, and you could never get back at that kid, because he was protected by the teacher at all times of the day. Those kids are probably cops today. Bottom line: Citizens can't give cops tickets. Citizens can't even touch the cops, and they continue to run all over the law like it was their own little playground. I'm glad someone like Virginia Snyder is out there looking out for all of us. She does more good than any of those cops ever do.

A Glowing Letter of Recommendation
My thanks to Mike Freedman for the story he did about my aunt and partner, Virginia Snyder, and the Delray Beach Police Department ("Conspiracy, She Wrote"). It was thorough and objective.
It was not mentioned in the story, but over the past 21 years Virginia has been recognized by two Florida governors. In 1975 Gov. Reubin Askew named her one of fourteen "Outstanding Women of Florida" for her "contribution to her community, her state and her profession." In 1996 Gov. Lawton Chiles named her "One of Florida's Finest," stating, "Because of the difference you make, Florida is a better state."
I'm pointing this out in case there are readers who do not know Virginia who may get the idea from some of the quotes in the story that she is a crazy old lady who has a vendetta against police.
Thanks again for a great story.

This Is Becoming a Trend
This letter is being written to commend, quite highly, a member of your staff: Lucy Chabot.
Ms. Chabot approached me recently with regard to a matter wherein I represented a homeless man whose dog had been involuntarily removed by a neighborhood woman ("The Case of the Homeless Hound," January 8). This incident occurred months ago, but the man has been unable to recover his pet. I have been attempting to assist him, on a pro bono basis, in having the animal returned.
The story Ms. Chabot wrote was found to be impartial and unbiased, which I appreciated. I would also like to bring to your attention that Ms. Chabot, during her interview of the undersigned and on such other occasions that we spoke, was found to be professional in her attitude and was polite and considerate as well as determined to complete a well-grounded story.

I had a little shipping damage....I think someone threw the box off a cliff during shipping. The packaging was good but 1 corner of the box was crushed in pretty bad. Had some damage to 1 wing root area and the nose...... luckily the epo foam is forgiving and with a little hot water and reshaping/re-gluing the nose area the damage is not too noticeable. This is definitely not the fault of Easytiger models though...... the packaging should have been adequate. I think it's a really great looking plane, and everything is there and working good. I have it almost complete, there is minimal assembly...... maiden will be a while though till I find some time to get back into practice with some of my other planes first. I would like to get a better measurement for CG....... the manual says 15"-18" that's quite a large range if you ask me? I too was leery about ordering from easytiger because of my one and only order a couple of years ago..... I kept getting story after story as to why my order was taking almost 1 month to get from New York to Wisconsin...... it finally did arrive about a month after easytiger gave me the tracking # and told me it was shipped from New York......Anyways, this B-17 made me try again and I was pleasantly surprised. |

The smiley-face killers: A born-in-Minneapolis urban legend takes wing
To make a weird story short, some background: Two former NYC cops, Kevin Gannon and Anthony Duarte, have spent the past several years chasing after evidence to connect the deaths of several dozen college-age men who have turned up dead in bodies of water across the country, often after leaving parties where they were drinking. Gannon and Duarte not only believe the young men were all murdered; they believe they were murdered by an organized death cult that's operating across the country.
The Minneapolis connection that led to Piehl's report taking their claims public involved the death of Chris Jenkins, a 21-year-old student who left a downtown bar on Halloween night 2002 and whose body was found in the river four months later. Jenkins' death was originally ruled an accident, but in 2006 that was changed to homicide, reportedly because an MPD detective had heard rumors concerning foul play in the case. So far, Jenkins' death is the only one in Gannon and Duarte's growing case file that is even classified as a homicide. (It should be noted that Jenkins' parents subscribe wholeheartedly to the detectives' theory. His mother, Jan Jenkins, told Piehl: "The level of evil we are dealing with here is rampant, it's deep and it's widespread." According to Piehl, "The Jenkins spent tens of thousands of dollars on private investigators, testing and outside analysts.")
One common denominator in this vast murder conspiracy, the detectives claim, is a smiley-face graffito on some nearby bridge where the detectives hypothesize that the body was slipped into the water. Not that their theory is seamless, mind you. For starters, consider that a), smiley-face graffiti is not exactly scarce; b), the smiley-face graffiti the detectives found were in places that are only conjecturally connected to a crime scene or even a crime; c), by the detectives' own account, the smileys have only turned up at a dozen or so of the crime scenes; and d), no one, as far as I can tell, has claimed that a smiley face turned up anywhere in conjunction with Chris Jenkins' death.
Piehl's report generated enough media coverage to compel the FBI to address the conspiracy theory. Last week it issued this statement: "Over the past several years, law enforcement and the FBI have received information about young, college-aged men who were found deceased in rivers in the Midwest. To date, we have not developed any evidence to support links between those tragic deaths or any evidence substantiating the theory that these deaths are the work of a serial killer or killers. The vast majority of these instances appear to be alcohol-related drownings."
The Minneapolis Police Department followed suit last Wednesday with a media release saying the department could "neither confirm nor endorse" the murder club for men theory. That same day, the Albany (NY) Times-Union ran a similar story in which the local PD rejected Gannon and Duarte's theory that a student who drowned there was a victim of the cult. (Update: Molly P sent along this link from last night's KSTP news; apparently there are police in Pennsylvania who recently found a smiley face near a drowning scene.)
A true conspiracy aficionado, of course, eats official denials for breakfast. Piehl's story aired on the last Friday night in April, and by the following Monday there were over a hundred Google results for the freshly minted phrase "smiley-face killer." By Wednesday the number had quadrupled as other mainstream outlets -- including ABC and the cable news channels -- began picking up the story and gave it modest play. As of this morning, 11 days after Piehl's initial report, the number is 24,900.
The smiley-face killers story is making the rounds of chatboards devoted to serial killers, UFOs, white supremacy, horror movies, Notre Dame alums, video gaming -- and that's just in the first hundred or so results. And let the record show that Kristi Piehl of KSTP has done her part to bring the yarn to the huddled masses yearning to breathe the vapors of another massive conspiracy: The same night her story ran, she did an hour on the Coast-to-Coast AM radio show. C to C is the former domain of the underground radio legend Art Bell, the maestro of paranormal and paranoiac palaver who was once cited, albeit disapprovingly, by the Council for Media Integrity "for encouraging credulity, presenting pseudoscience as genuine, and contributing to the public's lack of understanding of the methods of scientific inquiry." (Incidentally, C to C is where I got the claim that Gannon and Duarte believe there are 100 or more victims in all; Piehl mentions it on the air.)
You can hear Piehl's late-night spiel in a series of 10-minute audio-only clips at YouTube.

Kevin Gates - Just Ride
Artist: Kevin Gates
Featuring: Curren$y
Producer: Grizzly On The Beat
Album: The Luca Brasi Story
Avg Rating: 2.7 ( 7 votes )
Honestly, I hadn't heard of Kevin Gates before today, but almost instantly I have become a fan; the man's got flow for days and a very smooth voice. Earlier this month, Gates partnered with rap (and weed) fan favorite Curren$y for mixtape standout selection Just Ride. The whole mood of the record is perfect for the emcee's nonchalant flow as Grizzly on the Beat's bass indulgent production and heavy drums make a dark backdrop for the Louisiana native's lyrics to slice through. Plus, you can always count on Spitta to give a solid performance as well (see New Jet City for additional recent proof). Those who are in the mood to explore for more from Gates can make a B line straight to The Luci Brasi Story, the emcee's brand new mixtape that is available for free download.

The Cement Garden
First edition cover
Author | Ian McEwan |
Cover artist | Ron Bowen[1] |
Country | United Kingdom |
Language | English |
Publisher | Jonathan Cape |
Publication date
1978 |
Media type | Print (Hardcover) |
Pages | 138 |
The Cement Garden is a 1978 novel by Ian McEwan. It was adapted into a 1993 film of the same name by Andrew Birkin, starring Charlotte Gainsbourg and Andrew Robertson.[2]
Plot summary[edit]
In The Cement Garden, the father of four children dies. Soon after, the children's mother dies as well. In order to avoid being taken into foster care, the children hide their mother's death from the outside world by encasing her corpse in cement in their basement. The children then attempt to live on their own.
The narrator is Jack (16), and his siblings are Julie (17), Sue (13), and Tom (6). Jack describes how, when they were younger, he and Julie would play doctor with their younger sister, although he is aware that their version of the game occasionally broke boundaries. Jack then mentions how he longs to do the same to his older sister but it is not allowed. Sexual tension between Jack and Julie becomes increasingly obvious as they take over the roles of "mother" and "father" in the house, which is gradually deteriorating into squalor.
When Julie begins to date a young man called Derek and invites him to their house, Jack feels jealous and shows hostility towards him. Derek gets a hint that something is hidden in their cellar, and becomes more and more interested while the children attempt to hide it from him. When a smell begins to emanate from the cellar, the children tell him their dead dog is encased in the cement. Tom then helps to re-close the cement casing their mother is hidden in. Eventually, Tom tells Jack that Derek has told him he believes their mother is in the cellar.
The story comes to a climax when Jack enters, apparently absent-mindedly, naked into Julie's bedroom. Julie is not there; only Tom is present, and Jack begins to talk to him about their parents. They fall asleep together in Tom's crib, naked because of the heat. Afterwards, Julie enters and, seemingly unsurprised by Jack's nakedness, jokes that 'it is big'. They sit on the bed while Tom sleeps, and while talking become more and more intimate with each other. Right at this point, Derek enters. He remarks that he has seen it all and calls them "sick." When he leaves, they begin to have sex. A thudding noise can be heard below, and their sister Sue informs them that Derek is smashing up the concrete coffin. They begin to talk, remembering their mother, and after a while, they sleep, while police lights illuminate the room through the window.
Film, TV or theatrical adaptations[edit]
The Cement Garden was adapted into a 1993 film of the same name by Andrew Birkin, starring Charlotte Gainsbourg and Andrew Robertson.[2] In March 2008, it was adapted for the first time for the stage by FallOut Theatre in Cambridge. A developed version of this adaption is due to open in London at The Vaults, Waterloo, starring George MacKay and Ruby Bentall as of January 2014.
The Cement Garden was included in the book Horror: Another 100 Best Books (2005) by Stephen Jones.

We've got an amazing four months lined up and planned out that will culminate in the biggest WrestleMania of all time. It's going to be a hell of a thing."

©2006 Tim Harford; (P)2007 Hachette Audio
"A playful guide to the economics of everyday life, and as such is something of an elder sibling to Steven Levitt's wild child, the hugely successful Freakonomics." (The Economist)
"This is a book to savour." (The New York Times)
"Better than Feakonomics - more in depth"
I have come to the world of Economics like many people via the route of Freakonmics. As much as I enjoyed Freakonomics I felt there was a very small amount of (admittedly excellent) content spread over a longer book.
This book is different. The author sometimes takes a while setting the scene but this all adds to the understanding of the principles he is explaining. I can honestly say that my understanding of the world is greater having listened to this book. The narration is fine, with a pleasant english voice that doesn't grip you but at the same time does not become tiresome.
I would certainly purchase another book by this author
"Interesting insight on microeconomics part"
Only for microeconomics. The macroeconomic narrative is from too much a right-wing perspective of economics.
Make coffee at home instead of buying it at a coffee shop
"I wish everyone would read this book."
"Would you listen again?" I did! - Twice already!
As logical-minded but economist layperson, this book really struck a chord with me.
I can honestly say it changed my outlook on life. From calculating the true cost of decisions, such as exactly what I'm paying for when I buy a coffee, to the rent I pay.
Yes, I went on to Read the second book in the series. And subscribed to some Audible Economics lectures that no longer seemed out of my grasp.
The book is interesting and funny. Not necessarily what you, at least I, might have initally expected from Economics.
Well read and clear. No faults at all.
"Engaging and educational"
Varied every day examples of economic concepts and detailed explanation of the key concepts told in a humorous way, makes this an enjoyable way to get to grips with economics.
You can practically hear his tongue in his cheek.
"Very engaging and informative"
Most enjoyable - I have already played this more than once to help get my head around the concepts and improve my memory of them. Examples used are straightforward and help illustrate the basics of economics. Thoroughly enjoyable.
"A Super Book"
I feel the narration is a bit of a shame, as Tim Harford has been presenting very ably on BBC Radio and I feel he'd have done a better job.
That written, The Undercover Economist is a rather engaging book on economics. Often humorous, always accessible.
"A great introduction to economy"
This is a fantastic book for people new to economy. It sounds dry, but it is not!
This really is an excellent book, well narrated and I walked away with a significantly greater amount of knowledge regarding economic's than when I started. This book was pitched exactly at the right level for me and the key to making this book work is the examples and stories that are told throughout, which I think most people will be able to relate to, in their everyday lives.
If you have a passing interest in economic's and are looking for somewhere to start or to build on the
knowledge that you already have, then I would really recommend this truly entertaining book.
In fact, I would guess that even somebody with no interest in economic's would find something in this book. It makes you realise that economics affects everybody and is everywhere.
"Began to drag mid way through"
I'd been looking forward to this one for some time, I'd read a lot of hype in the press etc and I read Tim's columns in various papers etc. But I came away a bit unfulfilled and somewhat bored by the middle of the book. Perhaps it is not really aimed at me but I found a lot of the explanations too long and way OTT for the concepts he was trying to explain.
Disclaimer: Half of my degree was Financial Economics some 15 years ago and I follow finance/economics reasonably closely, although i do not work in the sector.
"Really interesting"
This book made economic principles easy to understand by applying them to real world situations. It also contains fascinating insight into how markets work. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone starting out in economics.
"Down to earth economics"
Why is coffee so expensive on train stations? Which type of illegal activity gives the best profit? What are the benefits and the downsides of free markets? Is natinal health insurance good or bad? Should you feel bad when purchasing products made in countries where workers do not enjoy the same rights as in your own country?
In The Undercover Economist Tim Harford deals with these as well as other economic issues that we encounter on a daily basis, often without being aware of it. The book is generally easy to understand and have a subtle humorous tone which keeps you engaged. Like almost all economist (that I have encountered anyway), Harford favors a more or less free market. Whether this should be seen as a bias or if this is because free markets are intrinsically good is a question I cannot answer. In any case the book is definitely pro free market which may be a dealbreaker for some potential readers.
Harford begins by introducing the concept of scarcity power. He claims that the scarcity of a product or any type of asset will determine the price of that asset. In the case of a coffee stand on a busy London train station the price can get very high indeed which ultimately results in high coffee prices. In my mind scarcity is simply part of the supply and demand equation. If the supply is very small, and demand very high prices will be high. Perhaps there is something I do not understand...
Harford moves on to discuss the implications of this principle in the society. For instance, if you own a maffia, one of the most lucrative paths to take is to start a legit business and then threaten competition to increase scarcity power (reduce supply). With the competition gone you can charge what you want and make a nice profit.
One of the most interesting things I learned from this book was that sales, rebates, special prizes for students and seniors, class seating on trains and airplanes etc, are often just ways for a business to charge customers as much as they are willing to pay for any particular product. A coffee stand may earn a profit by selling coffee quite cheap but would of course like people with a lot of money to pay as much as possible. To get rich people to pay allot while not scaring off poor people or students you can offer large cups or alternative types of coffee such as coffee mocha coco bozo with cream, ice cream etc etc. Such fancy product are really not much more expensive to produce but you can charge much more for it (and if you check out the prizes at your local cafe this is exactly what they do).
Similarly if you own an airline company it makes sense to have different types of seating because then you can charge insane amounts of money for a little bit more leg space and a little better service which many people are willing to pay to feel just a little bit more special. To increase the gap you can also consciously make standard seating slightly uncomfortable.
While being a free market proponent Harford acknowledges that markets can run into trouble. For example, the insurance industry is very susceptible to the problem of imperfect information. If people only get insurance once they are sick, or if insurance companies only offer insurance to those who are completely healthy and have a tiny risk of getitng sick, then the market will not work. As Tim puts it, insurance industry is dependent on mutual ignorance. In the case of health insurance one practical solution is to have universal health insurance, which erases these issues. The only problem with this is that people are likely to consume more health care than they really need...
Harford also offers an analysis of what makes poor countries poor. The short answer is high tariffs (which reduces trade with the rest of the world), and corruption. These two factors can be particularly detrimental in small countries which are extremely dependent on international trade. There is nothing preventing poor countries from developing into richer countries and there are in fact many examples of such a transition. One particularly striking example which is discussed in the book is South Korea which used to have many "sweat shops" where working conditionins were poor compared to the rest of the world. However, because they could offer cheap products they achieved impressive growth and a rapid switch from an agricultural to a manufacture economy. Today, South Korea is a highly technological society with a high standard of living and sweat shops have moved to other countries, because today there are better jobs available to Koreans. Harford makes it clear that boycotting a county's products because their workers do not have the same job security or pay as our own workers does not help that country, even though it people think they are doing a good deed.
To illustrate what freer markets can achieve Harford looks to China, a country which has seen an improbable economic growth in recent decades. As a result of this development, 300 million people have been lifted out of poverty in China. This number is so high that it is difficult to comprehend what it really stands for. When a natural disasters kills tens of thousands of people it is also easy to lose sight of the fact that every person is an individual with his or her own personality, feelings, food preferences, etc etc. Similarly when hearing that that 300 million people have been lifted out of poverty it means a very significant improvement in the lives of these individuals and that is something worth remembering!
"Good but dated"
The book is pretty good, but since it is per the housing loan crisis a lot of the numbers are a little dated. The book is full of interesting stories and anecdotes explaining his principles, but sometimes the explanations are a little thin. What may be obvious to an economist is not always that obvious to me the layperson.
In some cases I got the impression that the author felt that his economic views were right, and everybody else's was wrong without giving a balanced viewpoint.
Very good reader, but he speaks fast.

What are you most proud of? The fact that after 40 years of sewing my own clothes, I have discovered that I am short in the neck to waist back measurement, and now I can finally fix the problem of the zippers being wrinkly down my back. Very proud of all that hand sewing as well.
Absolutely fabulous! I look forward to taking this class. Thanks for the advise.

Sentosa fabrics are silk wholesalers based near Eden Park. Google them, sorry I can't give you more details as I am away on holiday and have limited Internet. I gave more details somewhere on the couture dress site. Downstairs from them is Frost Fabrics which sell Dupion silk at very good prices if you are interested in the sewing with silks class.
Love the way you layered the dress. I wanted to make a dress that would be appropriate to wear to work. You have inspired me. This is exactly what I was looking for!

The Lives of the Very Early Christians
Posted by Review-a-Day, July 10, 2006 12:00 am 1 Comment Filed under: Review-a-Day.Peter, Paul, and Mary Magdalene: The Followers of Jesus in History and Legend by Bart D. Ehrman
Reviewed by Jane Lampman
Christian Science Monitor
"The title of Bart Ehrman's latest book — Peter, Paul, and Mary Magdalene — may prompt a smile, even from those who aren't fans of the 1960s folk trio. But that's typical of Dr. Ehrman. The religion scholar knows how to grab the attention of an audience. So popular are his classes at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that The Teaching Company now sells tapes of his lecture series on early Christianity. Of course, it's just the right moment for such a venture. The early years of Christianity are definitely 'in' right now. That's not only due to The Da Vinci Code..."

Rendering Audio Using Expressive MIDI
MIDI renderings of audio are traditionally regarded as lifeless and unnatural - lacking in expression. However, MIDI is simply a protocol for controlling a synthesizer. Lack of expression is caused by either an expressionless synthesizer or by the difficulty in setting the MIDI parameters to provide expressive output. We have developed a system to construct an expressive MIDI representation of an audio signal, i.e. an audio representation which uses tailored pitch variations in addition to the note base pitch parameters which audio-to-MIDI systems usually attempt. A pitch envelope is estimated from the original audio, and a genetic algorithm is then used to estimate pitch modulator parameters from that envelope. These pitch modulations are encoded in a MIDI file and rerendered using a sampler. We present some initial comparisons between the final output audio and the estimated pitch envelopes.
