Argentina uses mains electricity at 220 to 240 volts 50Hz (like most of Europe, such as here in the UK) whilst USA and Canada use 120 volts at 60Hz. The frequency (Hz = Hertz) is significant as not all electronic speed controllers built to work on 60Hz will work on the lower frequency of 50Hz. I've had success using some American sourced power tools such as the Porter-Cable 691 router bought in the USA and run through a British site transformer which converts 230 volts AC to 110 volts, although the frequency remains the same. This 3.3kVA transformer is big enough for almost any power tools you wish to attach and is the sort of box I'm talking about, although the weight might make shipping prohibitively expensive
I have a question for you Phil. In Canada and the US we get 220v by connecting 2 different 110v leads that are out of phase with each other. Is the 230v circuit you have the same or is it a single lead (hot wire) and a neutral. In our 220v circuit, we don't need a neutral unless we want to take a 110 volt lead off the circuit for an oven light, plug-in on the stove for a coffe pot, etc. Otherwise, we just have 2 hot conductors and a bare ground wire.
A European 220 to 240 volt supply (harmonised to 230 volts, i.e. within the +/- 10% tolerance permitted) requires 2 wires, a live and a neutral and is normally obtained by taking a single phase from a 3-phase 380 to 415 volt supply (415 in the UK, 380 volts elsewhere) together with a neutral. In reality the neutral to earth often tests at 20 to 40 volts, especially in old properties. Domestic properties in many European countries are supplied only with a single phase supply whilst commercial properties often have a 3-phase supply, although much of the grid here in the UK is 3-phase. As a matter of interest the site transformers we use in the UK for work on building sites, etc are centre tapped and thus have two hot conductors at 55+ volts and 55- volts respectively
Hi Charles
The potential difference between +55 volts and -55 volts is 110 volts, which is what our industrial site power tools run on. I've found that most 115 volt US tools with universal motors will run on that quite happily unless they have some sort of frequency-based speed controller. The UK and Ireland are probably the only places in the EU which have 110 volt power tools on building sites (and other restricted areas such as railway lines, etc). My understanding is that if one live is exposed and you accidentally touch it the 55 volts earthing through your body cannot kill you, but as some people are killed every year testing 9 volt bicycle batteries on their tongues, maybe I'm wrong there. So it is supposedly intrinsically safer. Maybe. The rest of the EU, however, doesn't play that game and instead insists on the standard 220 volts (live + neutral) with an RCD to protect each circuit. We normally get an MCB or RCD per circuit on larger transfornmers so maybe the health and safety brigade/insurance brigade are a bit more belt and braces here in the UK. What I do know is that it costs me more to buy some of my work tools and that not everything is available in 110 volt form.
The only other thing I can say about 110 volt site tools is that they are useable outside safely when it's a bit damp with minimal risk of electrocution. By that I don't mean standing up to your oxsters in water core-drilling a wall in the middle of a monsoon, but certainly I've been out there jigsawing a hardwood shop frontage to scribe it in whilst the rain is spitting and the pavement is still wet. So far, at least, without problems!
I suppose that it's the transient nature of construction work (be it domestic kitchen fitting, commercial bar fitting or building a skyscraper) which means that most of the problems will occur in the extension cables which do tend to get dragged all over the place, run-over by trucks, etc rather than problems in the tools themselves

Another old style farm view/equipment!
Right, Alex! There certainly aren't many of these left; in fact I don't know of another quite like these two. (In the lower right corner you see just a tiny part of the other one.)
I'm interested in the different ways that silos have been built over the years, and I'd like to make a photo collection. But it will grow much more slowly than your fine collection of windows!
Cheers, Marilyn
I think that the silos would be a good topic for forum, and then maybe you get to see a lot of different ones and from arround the world too.
Thanks for my window collection reference.
Interesting that you should say that, Alex. I just checked a few minutes ago to see whether there already was a silo forum! There isn't, and I shouldn't take time to start one now. I'm supposed to be doing some writing that must be finished and sent off before we leave for Australia a week from today!
Yes, Bruce, I too wondered if they steamed and bent the wood. I've seen a few of the vertical board ones--wish I'd taken pictures because they must be extremely rare now. I know of glazed tile ones west of Rochester, NY. I hope I can get back there sometime. Anyway thanks, Bruce.
How wide is the distribution of silos? That's a good question though I guess it doesn't warrant world travel specifically to find out!
Meanwhile I look forward to the silo with vertical boards when you have a chance. Marilyn
Great photo, Marilyn, and interesting thread of conversation as well. I think you've inspired me to look for silos to take photos of, although they're not common in the ranch country where I live.
Thanks, Eve. It's interesting that, when you start noticing something, it can grow and grow! I'll be interested to see whether you find any.
Composizione molto bella!
Thanks for your visit and your comments.
Once again, I've never seen a wooden silo either! You find the neatest things. It's intriguing. I imagine these are very rare?
Yes, MaryAlice, wooden silos are rare now. I was utterly delighted when I discovered this near our summer home. It's part of a derelict farm that I know you'd love. The whole place was for sale, and if I could, I'd buy it just to be able to go there to take more and more pictures! When I remember, I'll look in my computer photo album to see whether I have any other views of it that are worth uploading. It was a fantastic place, and my husband waited very patiently in the car while I shot and shot!
Today I returned to the farm where I found the wooden silos last year, and I took and have posted several more pictures of the buildings, including the back entrance to the house.

Blue John Canyon
San Rafael Swell Overview
Click here for more information about the San Rafael Swell and the surrounding area.
Blue John Canyon's narrows are perfect for canyoneering. There are slots that are free from obstruction, water-filled pothotles, sections that require downclimbing, and many sheer drops which necessitate rappelling. It's named for infamous outlaw John Griffith who had one brown eye and one blue eye; thus, the nickname Blue John. Legend has it that he disappeared in this spot. Canyoneers of all skill levels have been paying tribute ever since.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
There are actors who disappear inside their characters and actors who always remain their charismatic, unmistakable selves. Theatre de la Jeune Lune's Steven Epp does both. His stage-filling but not scene-chewing style deserves its own adjective (Eppian). Yet his highly physical, idiosyncratic interpretations are always logical and wise character studies, whether he's creating a new role or re-inventing one of the classics (such as Tartuffe or Hamlet). Epp's antic wit was on display in Jeune Lune's recent revival of The Ballroom, but his finest performance of late came in The Seagull. Here, he gave the successful writer Trigórin a brooding intensity that expertly illuminated Chekhov's thoughts on the elusiveness of artistic inspiration and the corrupting influence of fame.
Is it possible that the local theater performance of 2004 will come from an actress who spoke only a handful of lines in a seven-minute play? Well, yes, of course, or we wouldn't have brought it up. Charity Jones has done outstanding work for the Jungle, Eye of the Storm, and other outfits. But she may have topped herself in Jane Martin/Jon Jory's "The Billet," a short play that was part of Mixed Blood Theatre's Bill of W(Rights). A brilliant cautionary tale about the Patriot Act, the play cast Jones as Winifred, an affluent woman whose home is suddenly invaded by a couple of monstrous, acid-tongued soldiers. This pair proves they mean business by unceremoniously killing Winifred's husband. Jones began the scene poised and refined. Then, in a virtuoso display of physical, facial, and vocal expression, she progressed through anxiety, terror, rage, and shock. By necessity, these were quick transitions, but they never felt abrupt or calculated. In a few gripping minutes, Jones let the audience experience all the terror and pity of classical tragedy.
We had a moment of sheer panic back on a Friday night in late January when we dialed in KSTP-AM (1500) shortly before 10:00 p.m. to catch the end of The Mischke Broadcast. There, to our horror, we discovered the ravings of some Neanderthal named Chris Krok. Our initial fear was that Mischke's battle with depression had permanently sidelined the renegade radio host. And then, panicking, we theorized that the station's brass had replaced him with yet another conservative evangelist to placate the right-wing radio faithful. But our fears were assuaged a few minutes later when the oddly calming voice of Mischke came over the airwaves announcing another two hours of singing drunks, skewed news stories, and peculiar interviews--the station had merely pushed back his daily shift. When a frequent caller named Luke belted out a truly angelic a capella version of Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'" during the opening segment of the show, Krok's bilious residue was instantly wiped away. And after a couple of months of adjustment we've concluded that Mischke is actually better suited to the 10:00 p.m. to midnight time slot anyway. His oddball parallel universe makes more sense with the moon high in the sky. Our only regret: no more kamikaze broadcasts from Midway Stadium.
In what can only be described as an act of God, an obscure documentary ode to Christian activist/theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer drew 10,000 faithful over the course of two months last summer. This miracle booking not only helped U Film to resurrect itself commercially, but to find its religion--in nonfiction. Indeed, the Bell has nearly become the site of a year-round documentary film festival, having played host to some of the most genuine art cinema in years, including the Brooklyn-set family epic Love & Diane, the Brazilian reality nail-biter Bus 174, the Chinese Cultural Revolution doc Morning Sun, the French primary school heart-warmer To Be and to Have, and the aging-hippie portrait The Same River Twice. Though U Film's 35mm equipment has certainly seen better days, a spiffy new video projector has been installed just in time for us to witness the rebirths of both the Bell and the populist art film in sharp focus.
See if you can follow this: Bar owner and ex-Marine starts a punk rock label, puts his logo on a Zippo, sells a bunch, starts putting underground artists' work on Zippos, sells a bunch more. Next, he converts the garage in the back of one of his bars into a gallery and hires the publisher of a hip-hop and graffiti magazine to manage it. That, in a nutshell, is the story of Ox-Op, one of the Twin Cities' least likely fantastic art spaces. Since opening a year ago, the smallish gallery--founded by Tom Hazelmeyer, the godfather of the Grumpy's/Amphetamine Reptile/FlameRite Lighters empire; and run by Wes Winship of Life Sucks Die magazine--has exhibited a veritable who's who of the art and design underground. There have been big names, like the insanely prolific Gary Baseman, Shep "Andre's Got a Posse" Fairey, and former Devo frontman Mark Mothersbaugh. And there have been shows by underrated local design treasures like CSA and Aesthetic Apparatus. Ox-Op's "Rated XX" exhibit, a group exhibit of all-female work, expands the gallery's horizons a bit while continuing to hew to the apparent mission of displaying outwardly innocent but slightly sinister work. And in lieu of $8 Walker After Hours martinis of the month, at Ox-Op you can find on-tap Grain Belt a few steps away.
Even given our flaccid economy, Minnesota offers a wealth of funding options for artists and nonprofit arts organizations, what with grants from McKnights, Jeromes, and Bushes (no relation to you-know-who) practically begging to be taken. But securing a piece of the pie requires a certain kind of savvy, which is where Springboard for the Arts comes in. The organization provides reasonably priced workshops and individual consultations that cover every aspect of the grant-writing process. Plus, the group can advise you on copyright law, marketing, going nonprofit, and everything else associated with the business of art. For the criminally minded (actually those in need of tax info), Springboard even offers a workshop called "Staying Out of Jail."

Max Creek
New Haven, CT
Venue Address (Get Directions)The Flying Monkey Movie House and Performance Center
Date and Time
Friday, October 18th, 2013 at 6:00pm
Age Limit
All Ages
Max Creek is a living, breathing historical study in a hugely significant yet too-oft overlooked American subculture: the jam band. Creek guesses they've performed nearly 3,000 times over their forty years together. They have set lists for 1,851 shows covering the 80s and 90s but there are more shows, both known and unknown, than set lists still exist for.
As with most jam bands and their fans, the majority of the 70s are gone. (What does this mean?) Their first concert as a band was in May 1971 at the Maple View Ballroom (later Woody's) in Washington, MA, a venue at that time owned by Arlo Guthrie. The next three decades were characterized by endless bouts of touring, especially the late 70s and 80s. At their peak in 1982, Creek played 241 live shows. A true jam band, Max Creek and its fans know that the truest experience is the live show. During their long history, they've played some out of this world shows in some out of this world venues, including the Elmcrest Psychiatric Institute in Portland, CT in 1978.
Glide Magazine writer Shane Handler got it right when he issued high praise for Max Creek saying "Bands like Phish, moe., Blues Traveler, the Disco Biscuits and others are the trees in Max Creek's seeds of a thriving Northeast music scene that encourages live risk taking on stage and playing according to the feel of the present moment."

Chances were few and far between for the visitors as the hosts dominated proceedings until Murphy struck to stop his side from dropping into the bottom three.
With just three games to go Richardson believes Stanley's destiny is very much in their own hands.
"The last-minute goal could prove to be so crucial," he said. "It's huge and I think come the end of the season we'll realise how big it is. It wasn't a great spectacle, especially the first half as we didn't come out of the traps at all.
"A few words got said at half-time and we took the ascendancy in the second half and took the game to them. In the end I thought we deserved a point.
"The neutral won't have enjoyed that spectacle, particularly in the first half. They scored and it ignited us, which is disappointing as we shouldn't need anyone to do that. The only good thing to come out of the first half was that it was only 1-0.
"We've got three games to go now and we've got to keep on the crest of the wave. It's still in our own hands. It's important we look after ourselves and get points on the board."

[1] Melioidosis is a rare disease in the United States, but it is common in tropical or subtropical areas of the world, including Southeast Asia, Africa, and Australia.[2][3] The signs and symptoms of the disease can vary greatly and may mimic those of tuberculosis or common forms of pneumonia.[4] Signs and symptoms may include pain or swelling, fever, abscess, cough, high fever, headache, trouble breathing, and more.[4] Although healthy people can also experience signs and symptoms of the disease, people with certain conditions like diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease, lung disease, thalassemia, cancer, or certain autoimmune diseases are more severely affected.[4] Diagnosis is made by collecting blood, sputum, urine, or pus samples and growing the bacteria.[2] Current treatment is divided into two stages: an intravenous (IV) antibiotic stage and oral antibiotic maintenance stage to prevent recurrence.[2]Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Burkholderia pseudomallei that are commonly found in the soil and water.

Former top prospect Scott Kazmir faces current phenom Zack Wheeler on Friday in Cleveland.ATLANTA
FIRST PITCH: Scott Kazmir once was the ace-in-waiting for the Mets, the organization's top prospect, on the verge of a promising major league career.
Or, the Zack Wheeler of a decade ago.
Then, with the Mets entering a series at Turner Field and trailing the first-place Atlanta Braves by six games, team officials startled baseball by dealing a 20-year-old Kazmir to Tampa Bay on July 30, 2004 for Victor Zambrano.
Of course, the Mets proceeded to get swept by the Braves that series, with Zambrano unavailable to pitch because of a balky elbow.
While Zambrano ended up 10-14 with a 4.42 ERA over three seasons as a Met, Kazmir became a two-time All-Star.
The only thing that salvaged the trade becoming historically bad is injuries to Kazmir, who ended up pitching last year in independent ball with the Sugar Land Skeeters.
Now, worlds are set to collide, as the 29-year-old Kazmir lines up to face the 23-year-old Wheeler on Friday night in Cleveland. It will mark Kazmir's first time ever facing his original organization.
Wheeler had no idea Kazmir ever was a top Mets prospect. He does now.
Of course, the Mets first continue a series in Atlanta, where that Kazmir trade (as well as one with the Pittsburgh Pirates for Kris Benson) went down nearly simultaneously nine years ago.
Carlos Torres (3-2, 2.77 ERA) opposes right-hander Kris Medlen (11-12, 3.58) at 7:10 tonight.
Tuesday's news reports:
• Daisuke Matsuzaka surrendered six runs in three innings and the Mets lost to the Braves, 13-5, on Labor Day at Turner Field. Afterward, Terry Collins pledged Dice-K would make another start, Sunday at Cleveland. Still, it is worth noting that Aaron Harang made his organization debut Monday, allowing a two-run homer but no other damage in four innings with Triple-A Las Vegas. And Dice-K continuing is more of a front-office decision than Collins' to make.
Harang logically would be an alternative to Matsuzaka, although Collins noted the Mets will need a sixth starter, including for a Sept. 14 doubleheader against the Miami Marlins.
Also in Monday's game against the Braves, Tim Byrdak tossed 1 1/3 scoreless innings in his first major league appearance since Aug. 1, 2012. And newly acquired reliever Vic Black inherited a bases-loaded jam and escaped by coaxing a flyout to right field from Andrelton Simmons.
Read game recaps in the Post, Daily News, Times, Newsday, Star-Ledger, Record, Journal and MLB.com.
• Ike Davis said his goodbyes Monday, figuring he would be headed home to Phoenix for the remainder of the season after traveling to New York today and undergoing an MRI on his right oblique strain.
• Josh Satin plans to learn how to play the outfield this offseason, and hold Marlon Byrd to a vow to teach him. "I've got a promise from Marlon Byrd that after I'm done with my wedding in November that he would train me on how to be an outfielder," Satin told Mike Puma in the Post. "Now that he's gone, let's see if he lives up to that. I'm going to be all over him, calling him every day to work with me, because that's a big key. Being able to fill in out there will definitely help me."
• Read more on Harang in the Daily News and Star-Ledger.
• Read more on Byrdak in the Star-Ledger and Newsday.
• Brooklyn was eliminated from postseason contention with its fourth straight loss. Greeneville beat Kingsport, 7-2, to set up a winner-take-all Game 3 tonight in that Appalachian League playoff series. Read the full minor league recap here.
• The Mets held their fantasy football draft on Monday night.
Midway through the draft, Satin tweeted about a team he shares with Justin Turner: "so far team turner and satin has rice, mjd, Andre Johnson, colston, Hakeem nicks, and Colin kaepernick."
David Aardsma tweeted: "My Mets draft so far... P. manning, A. Morris, Daryl Richardson, b. green-Ellis, Aj green, d. Bowe, James jones, v. Davis"
And Dillon Gee tweeted about the team he co-owns with Scott Rice: "Team #GEEsusRice so far: Doug Martin,Demarco Murray, Brandon Marshall,jordy Nelson,Boldin,Stafford and Greg Olsen!! #FantasyFootball"
• ESPN named Juan Lagares its defensive player of the month for August.
From the bloggers ... As Dice-K labored, Faith and Fear in Flushing let its mind wander to other Mets Septembers.

I am struggling with
preg_replace and am really hoping someone can spot my error. Regular expressions seem to be my Achilles heel.
I'm trying to replace strings like
{{123.jpg}} with

I searched similar questions and found
preg_quote, but I don't believe I have any regex characters in the non-regex part of my replacement string, so I'm at a loss.
Here's what I'm trying:
function replace($article_id,$text){
$pattern = '/\{\{(.*?)\}\}/';
$replacement = '';
return preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $text);
I can confirm that the pattern is matching, but it's not replacing properly. I think the issue may relate to the final
/ before the
${1} replacement, but I don't see why as I don't believe it's a special regex character.
Any help is appreciated!
EDIT: I discovered the issue was unrelated to my expression. Thanks to everyone who assisted in verifying that my expression was properly formed!

Hey, I'm Lindsay!
My husband Michael and I live and work in New Westminster. We're transplants from downtown Vancouver and we'd never go back to the BIG city. We're busy people and we love it. Cooking and hosting are some of our favorite past-times, and we've spent most of our lives working in the hospitality industry.
Our home is certainly one "in progress." It's 111 years old, and we adopted it three years ago. It's a bigger job than we ever thought, but usually, we aspire to do one project each week to make it better. Maybe in 20 years, we'll be all finished : )
We've been doing Airbnb now for two years, and it's great. Just so you know, we live in the home with two guest suites on our lower level, so we will likely meet you when you arrive and be here if you have questions or problems. One of the most enjoyable things about Airbnb is meeting everyone and being a part of their journey. We are very easygoing and I don't think anyone needs to worry about imposing on us, using our stuff, chatting with us, etc. We are pretty excited to meet you!
Mosty when we travel, we head on road trips down the West Coast of the US, but we're hoping to head back to Europe one day and do a train trip across Canada. It looks like Asia or South America may one day work their way into our itineraries, we hope.

Goldman Sachs has removed
The investment bank says recent strong share price performance means the upside to its target price of $5.36 is just 2 per cent.
BlueScope's price has risen by 21 per cent since Goldman rated the stock a "buy" in February. A lower Australian dollar should benefit the company, but softer demand for its products represents an increasing risk, the investment bank says.

Adderall is one of the brand name drugs used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD. For those whose suffer from the condition, Adderall is hard to come by.
Seventy-one year old Michael Garza was diagnosed with ADHD 10 years ago. He now runs a support group for adults and children with the condition. He says children are the most vulnerable with a shortage of medication.
"Going to school and being able to concentrate and stay focused on what they're doing is a problem", Garza said.
The shortage is being blamed on Drug Enforcement Agency limiting how much of the medications drug companies can produce.

glenn the LT from buffalo, ya know the guy we drafted david butterfingers wilson over
i remember when he was drafted mayock said he could be developed into a starting quality FS one day, if anything it will be interesting to see him, berhe and thompson compete in OTAs and camp.
in the right situations and in the right rotation i see him contributing this year.
when jackson was drafted i remember mayock saying he could be developed into a FS down the road, we'll see.
having mccourty would make the defense look a LOT better in the back end, after earl he might be the best FS in the league.
it'd be pretty cool if he got caught with a bunch of weed or something right before the draft and fell to #9
i'd rather see jerod mayo brought in on a prove it contract
eehhhhhhhhhhh maybe if there are a few serious injuries at DE halfway through the year and hes available and willing to be a depth player.
I'd rather see more Wynn and Moore
i like the idea of jenkins sticking around, the DT room probably needs a veteran voice, his versatility makes him valuable as long as he doesn't hit the wall next season. we saw how quickly kiwi...
I know its sad he got hurt and lost his career but this is not true at all, DW was headed for bustville injury or not.
wake needed the time in the CFL
wonder if this guy can adapt to playing OL at the NFL level.
both are/we're dumb as a post.
but i'd take pre-ACL mario over RR anyday.
Wouldn't say no to hughes, even if JPP is still here, he could help give spags that deep rotation of DEs he needs.
Kevin Gilbride
PF and his ask madden playcalling need to get the hell out of here
that eagles game was responsible for this image
i'm sure rex could adapt to using mostly 4-man fronts.
i'd rather have an extra first rounder then a damaged goods cruz? if he comes back 100 percent then maybe.
hosley looked great in that preseason game a couple years back where he hurt himself, since then he's been a cornerback in job description only.
these are amazing and have been for so many years.
the one from last year after we went 0-6 and he became a jets fan is incredible.
an NFL wide receiver
wandering around the sidelines in his pads, must have felt natural for DW.

WOW. I went to the store today and could not find bulgar or kalamata olives, so used jarred jalapeno's instead and sticky rice as the base. It was wonderful with those two subs, and that was after my regular dinner (i have insomnia tonight so started cooking). I will make this again and again, and look for the bulgar.
This was very delicious. The bulgar gave this a nutty, chewy textue that you can't get from any other grain. The lemon juice and zest gave this a nice bright flavor while the salty olives and cheese balanced out nicely. A really nice combination.

Harry Dalmeny Trades the Gavel for a Toboggan
The Sotheby's U.K. deputy chairman talks to The Wall Street Journal Europe about how he starts his weekend.
As a director of country house sales for Sotheby's in the U.K., Lord Harry Dalmeny has been behind the rostrum and on top of the gavel for some of the most high-profile auctions in Europe, including the Duke of Devonshire's sale at Chatsworth House and the 2004 record sale at Hopetoun House of Jack Vettriano's painting "The Singing Butler" for £744,800.
Lord Dalmeny divides his time between London and his native Scotland, where he has a house and farm in the Moffat hills. With five children under the age of nine, including triplets, he admits weekends can get a little busy, but when he gets the chance, he likes to unwind with the St. Moritz tobogganing club.
How does your weekend start?
I work very hard in the week, so on the weekends, when I am not working, I like to completely switch off. Friday nights are usually spent traveling somewhere; it's not a big party night. It's more about making sure I wake up on Saturday morning somewhere incredible. I always feel if you can wake up in a strange bed (not with a stranger) in an amazing place, then it will be a good weekend. If we are spending the weekend in Scotland, this involves driving a large people carrier with my wife, five children and the nanny. It's quite an operation. But if I'm competing in the Cresta Run, it will involve a flight to Zurich and a three-hour drive to St. Moritz, where I usually stay with a friend or check into a hotel.
How do you relax?
When I'm in Switzerland, I get up very early, put on a Lycra suit and clamber onto a toboggan and slide down the Cresta Run, which is an ice track, as fast as I can without killing myself. The run takes about a minute. I'm not sure exactly how long it is, but you are traveling about as fast as one possibly can. We do about three runs before lunch.
Do you have a favorite restaurant?
After the run, we have lunch at the Sunny bar in the Kulmhotel, which has the most beautiful terrace that looks out toward the lake—the most wonderful frozen space, where at weekends they have horseracing. We start off with a bull shot, which is a little like a Bloody Mary but made with consommé instead of tomato juice. Some people have a vodka fizz, which is a lemony, sherberty, splendid drink. If we are still feeling a bit peckish afterward, or we have a victory to celebrate, we will wander down the hill to Glattfelder's tea shop...and order a Glattfelder's tea, which is essentially an English tea with caviar rather than scones. But it's not an everyday treat. St. Moritz is a great place, but it is fiendishly expensive.
Do you go out Saturday night?
In Switzerland, the day ends at the Dracula club in St. Moritz, which really is the best nightclub in the world. It is effortlessly, fabulously glamorous and was set up by Gunter Sachs, who was married to Brigitte Bardot, and his friends. They are all now well over 70 years old but they still go. I tend not to drink very much, so will probably only have water.
What do you do Sunday morning?
There is normally a big race which I am competing in. After the race, there is a prize giving. I always hope to win, as the prize is a bottle of Krug and a kiss from one of the prettiest girls in the room, which is always a good prize to get. After that, I drive back to Zurich airport and fly home. If I am not in Switzerland and we have a sale on, then I am usually in London on Sunday for the private view; this is a big moment where all the private buyers come in to look at the lots. So Sunday morning is spent preparing for the view.
What about the afternoons?
My wife [Caroline] does brilliant roast beef. I am the potato specialist, so I spend several hours trying to tease gobbets of goose fat under the skin. When we are in Scotland, we will go for a long walk with the dogs in the Moffat hills. About once a month I will do a long weekend here and spend Fridays talking to my father in the estate office working out the strategic planning of Dalmeny [House]. If I'm in London, I might take the children to play tennis in Burton's Court or we go to the indoor skiing center in Hemel Hempstead.

Your freelance work with MyJava Lo-Fat Burgers was a success (see Exercise 24 of Chap. 5). The management loved your new drive-through ordering system because the customer had to order an item from each of the three menu categories. As part of a public relations campaign, however, management decided to allow a customer to skip a menu category. Modify the program to handle this option. Before you list items from each category, use a confirmation dialog to ask the customer whether he or she wants to order an item from that category.
(For Reference 5th Chapter 24 Exercise)
After starting a successful coffee beans outlet business, MyJava Coffee Outlet is now venturing into the fast-food business. The first thing the management decides is to eliminate the drive-through intercom. MyJava Lo-Fat Burgers is the only fast-food establishment in town that provides a computer screen and mouse for its drive-through customers. You are hired as a freelance computer consultant. Write a program that lists items for three menu categories: entree, side dish, and drink. The following table lists the items available for each entry and their prices. Choose appropriate methods for input and output.

Who's the boss of your finances?
For Five Cent Nickel
Getty Images
Editor's note: This article originally ran on Five Cent Nickel. It has been reprinted here with permission.
When it comes to financial decisions, do you feel like the boss or like it's your first day on the job?
If you don't feel in command, it's understandable. Millions of people with no background in finance are called upon to make a series of very important financial decisions: making a budget work, saving for college, financing a house, planning for retirement, strategizing on investments, etc., etc.
Many find this responsibility intimidating — and unfortunately, that sense of intimidation can contribute to poor decisions.
It helps to learn a thing or two about finances, but even before you do that, a little attitude adjustment can increase your chances of financial success. You have to resolve to take control of your financial situation, and there are several ways you can act on this resolution.
People don't feel in command of their finances
The National Foundation for Credit Counseling polled people on how much command they feel over their financial decisions by asking them to describe themselves as if they were playing a role in a corporation. Here are the results:
- Just 8 percent felt in command enough to describe themselves as the CEO of their finances.
- 30 percent felt some degree of confidence, describing themselves as middle managers on their way up.
- 35 percent saw themselves as entry-level employees just trying to catch on.
- 26 percent felt overwhelmed and wished they didn't have the job.
The need for confidence
This lack of confidence in the ability to make financial decisions becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. When people lack confidence, they tend to make bad decisions. Here are three significant ways that a lack of confidence damages financial decision-making:
- Avoidance. The failure of many people to do even rudimentary retirement planning is not simply because they didn't get around to it. Consciously or subconsciously, people tend to avoid getting started on tasks they feel are going to be too difficult for them. Because people lack confidence in their ability to take on retirement planning and other major financial decisions, they ensure failure by never even getting started.
- Acquiescence. You may deal with a number of financial professionals in your lifetime — bankers, investment advisers, planners, etc. Most of them will probably know more about the field than you do, and many of them will have something to sell. That's a dangerous combination. It leads to consumers agreeing to sales pitches simply because they don't feel qualified to disagree.
- Indecision. People get whipsawed by financial market volatility. They open up an investment account in search of higher returns, but then pull back when they start losing money. They only get back in when the market has climbed back up enough for it to feel safe. This failure to choose a course and stick with it leads to bad investment returns, and bad financial decisions in general.
Taking control
Here are seven ways you can act more like a CEO than a trainee, and take better control of your financial situation:

The Barbed Crown (Mass Market Paperbound)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Ethan Gage's alliance with Napoleon Bonaparte has gone sour, and now he wants to make Napoleon pay for kidnapping his son and nearly killing his wife.
Gage is determined to thwart Bonaparte's ambitions to take Europe. He devises a mad plan to sabotage Napoleon's coronation by replacing the power-hungry emperor's crown of golden laurel with a religious relic the Crown of Thorns purportedly worn by Christ at his crucifixion. But when the scheme goes awry, Gage is soon on the run . . .
In England, he joins a circle of brilliant renegades, including Robert Fulton, designer of the first submarine; rocket artillery pioneer Sir William Congreve; and smuggler Tom Johnstone. As two empires face off at sea, Gage is plunged into the decisive and lethal Battle of Trafalgar, trapped on board a French ship as Nelson's Victory bears down on him . . . and the fate of the modern world is at stake.
About the Author
William Dietrich is the author of fourteen novels, including six previous Ethan Gage titles Napoleon's Pyramids, The Rosetta Key, The Dakota Cipher, The Barbary Pirates, The Emerald Storm, and The Barbed Crown. Dietrich is also a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, historian, and naturalist. A winner of the PNBA Award for Nonfiction, he lives in Washington State.

STEWART AIRPORT - Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney and New Windsor Supervisor George Green expressed confidence Thursday morning that efforts to move the FBI's Hudson Valley Resident Agency office to Stewart Airport soon will bear fruit.
Green said the office will be within a 140-acre business park the town is developing on land it owns on the airport site. Construction of the building in which the office would be located will begin later this year and should be completed by early 2014, Green said.
Maloney, who opened a regional office on Grand Street in the City of Newburgh, has been urging the FBI and the General Services Office, which manages office space decisions for the federal government, to expedite the move of the FBI office closer to the City of Newburgh from one in Goshen which the agency has outgrown.
The GSA excluded the city from the delineated area where the new office would be, but Maloney noted the airport site still puts it "right next to where the greatest need is."
The FBI has played a major role in recent years in combatting gang violence and other crime in the city.

Otis Redding Jelly Belly
Otis adopted us on Friday January 7th. He was living temporarily at the Lewis & Clark Humane Society.
The humans who work there took very good care of him. He was ready for a real home, though.
So ... Otis seems to like it with us. He has settled right in. He's been sleeping on our bed, but he knows really -- he's supposed to catch mice. If there are any... we think there might be at least one living behind the refrigerator.
I'm sure he'll be very spoiled by his new humans, Tim and Maureen. Tim says he's going to build Otis a scratching post and perch very soon. We are worried about all the yarn paintings, which Otis, in his lovely and artsy fartsy way, has been looking at with great interest.
Otis, do NOT try to sharpen your claws on the yarn paintings. That is NOT what they are for. Okay?

U.S. Auto Sales in November May Almost Match 2010 High on SUVs
U.S. automobile sales in November may almost match the fastest pace this year as demand for domestic manufacturers' trucks and sport-utility vehicles rose.
Industrywide sales, to be released Dec. 1, probably reached an annual rate of 12.2 million vehicles this month, the average of eight analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg. That follows the 12.3 million pace of October, the fastest since the U.S. government's "cash for clunkers" program in August 2009.
Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Group LLC each may have increased sales by more than 20 percent, the average of five analysts' estimates. Deliveries may gain 13 percent for General Motors Co., which raised more than $20 billion from common and preferred shares in an initial public offering this month.
"Domestics will be up by a huge number this month, with a lot of it coming from strong truck and SUV sales," said Jessica Caldwell, an analyst for researcher Edmunds.com in Santa Monica, California. Trucks and sport-utility vehicles have better sales "as it gets colder, plus we've seen higher demand in the last few months as gas prices have been stable for some time."
Deliveries of Ford's F-Series pickups climbed 30 percent through October, while sales of Chrysler's Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV rose 41 percent, according to Autodata Corp., a research firm. GM's sales of the Chevrolet Equinox SUV surged 75 percent.
Annual Rate
The U.S. auto selling rate has stayed above 11 million since March, according to Autodata, based in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey. Deliveries are running about 30 percent slower than the 16.8 million annual average from 2000 to 2007.
The U.S. economy expanded at a 2.5 percent annual rate in the third quarter, more than previously calculated, the Commerce Department reported Nov. 23.
GM's sales may benefit from its recent IPO, said Jesse Toprak, vice president of industry trends at TrueCar.com, who estimated a 13 percent increase in the Detroit-based automaker's deliveries. GM's owners, including the U.S. Treasury Department, sold shares at $33 each on Nov. 17.
"If you see the company performing, the stock price holding up, and perhaps GM posting another profit in the fourth quarter, that adds to brownie points with consumers," Toprak said.
Ford may post a 21 percent sales gain, the average estimate of five analysts. The Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker's shares reached $17 on Nov. 15, the highest closing price since Jan. 8, 2004. Ford is the world's top-earning automaker with net income of $6.37 billion in the first nine months of the year, the most for the company since 1998.
'Exceptional' Mood
Chrysler's sales may increase 26 percent, the average of five analysts' estimates. The automaker based in Auburn Hills, Michigan, on Nov. 8 reported an $84 million third-quarter loss and raised its full-year operating profit forecast to about $700 million.
The mood of customers is "exceptional," David Kelleher, a Chrysler dealer in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, said in a telephone interview. The redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee helped make the month better than a normal November, Kelleher said.
"I have traffic in my showrooms," he said. "I have very, very positive customer attitude right now toward our products. It's a strong month for November."
Toyota Motor Corp. may be the only major automaker whose U.S. deliveries declined, with a 3 percent drop, the average of four analysts' estimates. The world's largest automaker, based in Toyota City, Japan, has recalled more than 8 million vehicles for repairs related to sudden, unintended acceleration.
Toyota's 'Black Cloud'
"The effects of the recalls appear to be lingering over Toyota like a black cloud," said Toprak, of Santa Monica, California-based TrueCar. "The image of a company can be demolished easily overnight. It takes much longer to move the needle in terms of improving your image."
November historically is one of the worst months of the year, after January or February, Toprak said. The industry usually has about a 10 percent decline in volume in November from October, and this month "appears to be right in line with historical patterns," he said.
"This is a very weak time of year and always has been, even in a good market," Earl Hesterberg, CEO of Houston-based Group 1 Automotive Inc. dealership group, said in a Nov. 16 telephone interview. "You won't hear anybody jumping for joy, but it certainly seems November is generally in line with what we saw in October. I don't think anything has turned downwards other than it's seasonally a weak time."
Deliveries at Tokyo-based Honda Motor Co. may have risen 24 percent, while Yokohama, Japan-based Nissan Motor Co.'s sales may have increased 16 percent, according to four analysts' estimates.
The following table shows estimates for car and light-truck sales in the U.S. Estimates for companies are a percentage change from November 2009. Forecasts for the seasonally adjusted annual rate, or SAAR, are in millions of vehicles.
November had 24 selling days, one more than a year earlier.

One of the most acclaimed fictional sagas of our time — an everyday story of "transfolk" — has reached its end. The nine-volume Tales of the City, one of the monumental constructions of contemporary fiction, began as a newspaper column in August 1974 about how San Francisco would strike an out-of-town gal from Cleveland who needs a more liberated sexual identity than the American Midwest permits.
The editor of the San Francisco Chronicle commissioned more. At the time Maupin was crashing on Rock Hudson's living room floor. The epitome of beefcake (more "butch" than "nelly", in SF argot) Hudson found refuge from

We did re-installed network driver, updated and checked same network with other PCs. But in other than windows 8, same network works fine. Only 64-bit Windows 8 is having this problem. We are using Intel DH61WWB3 Mother board with i5 processor.

The team has barely reassembled, and theyâre already in the midst of a problem that overlaps dimensions. Spider-Man, Wolverine, and their amazing friends battle magical constructs in the city streets while Iron Fist floats through whitespace, taunted by a being revealed only on the final page. Even Stephen Strange, Doctor Voodoo, and the Son of Satan canât quite figure out whatâs going on. Itâs bigger than all of them. Thatâs pretty big.
But, remember, Brian Michael Bendis kicked off the last âNew Avengersâ series with a massive prison break and a conspiracy that didnât reach its conclusion for years. He knows about big stories. But what separates this relaunch from its predecessor isnât the scale of the stories, itâs the tone. And the apparent confidence which fill the issues of the new run.
Last time around, Bendis seemed to want to tell a slow-burn story, something that would create uncertainty in the readers and the characters. But with this issue, and the preceeding two, Bendis seems to want to show that the heroes of the Marvel Universe are up for any challenge and so his he. The narrative voice is more confident, the characters more direct, even when faced with something they canât wrap their brains around.
And though itâs a single issue thatâs mostly a big fight scene, Bendis spares time for some brief but strong character bits, with Victoria Hand and Jessica Drew.
Bendis has, by this point in his Marvel career, become known as the guy who brings the banter. Heâs always been known as that guy, actually. And in this issue, the verbal barbs fly as viciously as the fists, even if the dialogue is mostly just about creating as sense of rhythm. Sometimes, though, even very entertaining notions read somewhat turgidly, awkwardly, however laudable. It seems whatever really occurs needs guidance. Stuart Immonen is the best choice for the job, making every detail clear, and the story whisks along on his pencil lines and the inks of Wade Von Grawbadger.
Itâs a fast-moving, great-looking superhero comic, and itâs a fitting flag-bearer for the entire Marvel Universe during this âHeroic Age,â when everything may not be ice cream and rainbows, but itâs not all skulking in shadows and misery, either.

text: I have some wiring from the 1950s knob and tube. To remove a portion of it since I have demolishing one interior wall, will this mess up the rest of the wiring in the home? I already had a new 100 amp breaker panel installed but the rest of the home still has the old knob and tube. Suggestions to keep the cost down and if feasible. Also want to run new wire to move the old outlet that was in the wall.
