Autonumber in Excel
Please could you help me understand how to use autonumber in Excel. Sometimes I can get it to work and at other times not very well.
I would be interested to know how it applies to dates as well as numbers.
For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability
RE: autonumber in excel
Hi Richard, many thanks for your question. Autonumbering exists in Access, but it is actually a data type usually used to populate a primary key field as records are inputted into the database. Excel doesn't have any similar "out of the box" functionality like this, but it can be mimicked using some of its other built-in tools. However, first be sure to distinguish between autonumbering and the Autofill feature.
For example, type today's date into cell A1, reselect the cell and then drag and drag down from the bottom left hand Fill handle and the column will populate with the subsequent dates. This is the Autofill feature and isn't quite the same as automatic numbering. Excel uses pattern recognition to populate numerical lists such as this, and its own built-in custom lists for, say, months. You can, of course, build your own custom lists in Excel.
However, with a bit of work a similar Autonumbering effect to that of Access can be achieved in Excel.
For example, in Row 1 of a new worksheet create three column headings: ID, Name, Department
For your first ID enter "=TEXT(ROW(A2),"00")", and then a name and department
For your second date enter "=TEXT(ROW(A3),"00")" and then another dummy name and department
Then Select the whole table. In Excel 2007 go to the Insert Tab and click on "Insert Table" (In 2003 click on the Data drop down menu and chose List – Create List, then tick "My list has headers")
Now, every time you enter a new name and department, a two digit ID number will be entered automatically for you. In the 2007 version the table is formatted and can be restyled and controlled using the ribbon, and in 2003 you'll see an asterisk in the autonumbered cell which should remind you of Access! If you inserted a row in the middle of the table, the ID number should update accordingly.
This solution is, of course, a work around and coming up with your own bespoke autonumbered field code will involve other situational factors, not least the nature of the field itself but see how you get on with these examples and let me know if you need any further assistance.

Dynamic Consumption-Portfolio Choice and Asset Pricing with Non-Price-Taking Agents (Revised: 7-95)
This paper develops a continuous-time pure exchange model to theoretically study the dynamic consumption-portfolio problem of an agent who acts as a non-price-taker, and to analyze the implications of his behavior on the security prices and their dynamics. The non-price-taking behavior is modeled by allowing the non-price-taker's consumption stream to affect Arrow-Debreu prices. This allows us to employ martingale methods in a natural way, making the analysis highly tractable. We define non-price-taking equilibrium in an economy of N price-takers and one non-price-taker, and show the existence and uniqueness of this equilibrium under common assumptions about the agents' utility functions and dividend streams. Solving for the equilibrium consumption allocations reveals the existence of another driving factor apart from the aggregate consumption stream, the endowment stream of the non-price-taker, which leads to modified formulae for the interest rate and the consumption CAPM. We characterize the equilibrium consumption-portfolio allocations, and the Arrow-Debreu and security prices and their dynamics, i.e., the interest rate, market prices of risk, asset price volatility and risk premium. A variety of comparisons of equilibria between a price-taking and a non-price-taking economy are carried out, in some cases for general utility functions and in some cases for CARA utility of all agents. Intuition for the results is offered.

Apr 13, 2014 Phil Blackwell Uncategorized
If the Bishop Grimes baseball team had to wait (and wait and wait) for action to get underway in the 2014 season, at least it took full advantage of a great opportunity once the waiting ended.
The Cobras' opener, as it turned out, came against Bishop Ludden last Friday as part of the Strike Out Lou Gehrig's Disease Classic at NBT Bank Stadium.
And when Grimes beat the Gaelic Knights 4-0, it gave long-time head coach Mark Kelley his 200th career victory, one built upon strong pitching and timely hits at the plate.
On the mound where the Syracuse Chiefs work on a regular basis, Chris Schad was superb, going five innings and holding Ludden to two hits and one walk while striking out five.
Help arrived when the Cobras poked across a run in the top of the second inning off Gaelic Knights pitcher Zach Walser, Tom Steinberg scoring on a wild pitch. Then Grimes broke it open with three runs in the fifth as Chris Hendrick's two-run single proved crucial.
Chris Mancuso added two hits and an RBI, with Joe Arrigo adding a pair of hits, including a seventh-inning triple. Meanwhile, Jack Rotundo was superb in his two innings of relief, earning four strikeouts against just one hit allowed.
A day later, the Cobras improved to 2-0, beating Jordan-Elbridge 10-2. Most of the damage was done in the second inning, when Grimes batted around and produced seven runs, more than enough for Steinberg, whose four shutout innings led to a win on the mound.
The real standout was Trevor Pokines, who in his varsity debut went three-for-three at the plate and produced a pair of RBIs. Hendrick and Wyatt Myers also drove in runs.
Weather permitting, Grimes would play three times early this week, all on the road, as it went to Weedsport on Monday, Pulaski on Tuesday and Tully on Wednesday afternoon. The Pulaski game carried primary importance, since it was the Blue Devils who eliminated the top-seeded Cobras last year in the Section III Class C playoffs.

Tito & Tarantula You might not remember Tito Larriva, but you may well have seen him. Director Robert Rodriguez put the singer/actor in From Dusk Till Dawn, and in Rodriguez's Desperado, Larriva got to kill Quentin Tarantino.

Recycling That Holiday Tree Bringing the tree home is one of the best parts of Christmas. The whole house fills with the green scent of pine, and the tree looks gorgeous even before all the balls and lights and glittery stuff go on it.

Today only, strolling carolers and the Scottish Rogues bagpipe band will entertain adult guests while children enjoy games and crafts led by costumed assistants. 1-5 p.m., Bayou Bend, 1 Westcott Street, 639-7750.

Rockets vs. Lakers It's not quite "Showtime" again, but the Lakers, with Shaq, Kobe Bryant and Nick Van Exel, have one of the best records in the NBA. The Rockets, we've noticed, aren't playing too shabbily either -- even without Hakeem. So let's get it on. 7:30 p.m., Compaq Center, 10 Greenway Plaza, 629-3700. $12.50-$475.
Volunteer Income-Tax Assistance You know how confounding those tax forms are. Still, you've got the energy and confidence to toil away till you figure out what number to carry to which line, what gets subtracted from what and who gets added to whom. But what if you didn't speak English, or hadn't been in the States long enough to figure out how the tax codes work? What if you were old and on a fixed income? The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program provides volunteers to help those who need assistance and can't afford it. Maybe this is your chance to learn a lot more about how the tax forms work and to get that warm, fuzzy helpful feeling. Classes start in January, so if numbers and adding and forms excite you at all -- or even if you hate that stuff but want to help folks -- call and find out when and how to sign up. Ask for Harold P. Kron at (281) 721-7070.

Hanukkah Tonight at sundown, Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, begins. Most everyone knows that Hanukkah involves a Menorah and eight candles -- but a lot of folks don't know why. This Jewish holiday commemorates the victory of the Jews over the Hellenist Syrians back in 165 B.C. After their victory, the Maccabees went in to clean and dedicate the Holy Temple in Jerusalem that the Syrians had defiled The Judean heroes could find little undefiled lamp oil (this was ancient times, and a lot of defiling was going on). Miraculously, the tiny amount they did find kept the lamps going eight days, until new oil could be found. Thus, the miracle is celebrated with the lighting of the Hanukkah candles over eight days. Even if you're not Jewish, sit back this evening and give thanks for lights at the darkest part of the year.

Nationals Manager Davey Johnson left in the seventh inning of Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies when his left leg went numb — an issue, he said, was linked to bulging disks pinching nerves in his back.
The 69-year-old manager said he received treatment for the inflammation in his back. Johnson's absence was evident from the seventh inning on, when bench coach Randy Knorr came out of the dugout to inform the umpires of lineup changes and took the ball from starter Edwin Jackson.
"I'll be fine," Johnson insisted after the game.
Players were only somewhat aware of what happened to Johnson, and like their manager they joked about it. "Davey's Davey," Jackson said. "He'll be ready to go like anyone else."
"I thought he just needed a nap," added Adam LaRoche. Said Jayson Werth: "His back hurt. My leg hurts. [Desmond's] leg hurts. We're all hurting. It's September. So maybe they're sympathy pains. I'm not sure."
Johnson said the numbness appeared in the third inning and he took a muscle relaxant to ease it. By the seventh inning, the loss of feeling in his leg didn't subside and Johnson sought treatment from team physician Wiemi Douoguih. Johnson received X-rays and they showed there was normal narrowing between two disks in his back, which, in turn, press on nerves.
Johnson took a heavy dose of anti-inflammatory medicine to help the swelling, and if that doesn't help, he could receive an anti-inflammatory shot. He insisted that neither the medication nor his condition would affect his managing.
"I hope not," he said with a laugh. "All our players seem like they've been on it, taking it for inflammation. And the results for that have been good. So [Douoguih] thinks by tomorrow morning I should feel a whole lot better."
Johnson has dealt with medical issues in the past. He has been treated for atrial fibrillation, a heart defect requiring medication that lessened his energy. In the winter of 2010, Johnson received a cardiac ablation, in which a catheter is inserted through a vein to the heart, to correct an arrhythmic heartbeat, and his strength returned. Johnson said he has also had a procedure to relieve back pain.
In his typical manner, Johnson brushed off the situation on Wednesday with humor, saying his biggest concern with a numb leg was embarrassing himself falling tripping down the dugout steps.
"I don't want to miss a step going up and doing a header like Gio or somebody," he said.

News staff writer

The upper Hood River Valley may fill with even more smoke during the next few days as firefighters burn out fuels on Mount Hood.
The fire team working on the Bluegrass Ridge and Gumjuwac Saddle fires has been cutting fire lines for days in preparation. The concept behind burning out an area is to deprive it of fuels by burning from the fire line to the blaze.
Going forward with the burnout operation depends on the weather, according to incident commander Carl West.
"We are looking forward to cooler temperatures and increased relative humidity," West said.
As of Monday night, the Mt. Hood complex had burned 700 acres and was 15 percent contained. The number of staff on the complex has increased to 598 people including a mix of hotshot crews and regular firefighting crews. The cost of fighting the fire to date is $2.6 million. The team posts daily updates on the fire at its Web site, www.nworegonimt.com
The largest portion of the fire complex is burning along the Bluegrass Ridge to the west of the Sherwood and Nottingham campgrounds. Part of it is burning in the Mt. Hood National Forest and part is burning in the Mt. Hood Wilderness Area. The other portion, near Gumjuwac Saddle, is burning in the Badger Creek Wilderness.
While fire officials had initially said they would consider on Sunday night the possibility of reopening Highway 35 under pilot cars by the Oregon Department of Transportation, that decision was delayed until Tuesday evening. As of Tuesday morning, Highway 35 remains closed from Parkdale to the White River Sno-Park. All trails and campgrounds in the area remain closed.
The attack on the fire includes the use of heavy lift helicopters dropping retardant and water loads. The helicopters are picking up water from a heli-station at Little John Sno-Park as well as from Badger Lake.
While it's been a week since the initial lightning strikes that started the blaze, sleeper fires continue to erupt. On Sunday, there were 12 new reported fires in the Badger Creek Wilderness. All 12 were contained on Monday. Crews also worked on a three acre "slopover" of fire that burned past containment lines on the Gumjuwac Fire and mopping up other fires in the Badger Creek Wilderness.
The Hood River Sheriff's office and Emergency Medical Services have notified residents of the Cooper Spur area that a contingency plan for a pre-notification to evacuate is in place. The action will only be taken if the fire moves within two miles of the Cooper Spur area. The fire is currently three and a half miles away.
On Friday, C & H Reforestation Company from Salem cut selective trees and cleared underbrush from Tilly Jane campground and at the Cloud Cap Inn site. Both areas are in the path of the fire should it burn north toward Cooper Spur. Mt. Hood Ranger station interpreter Ron Kikel said both sites have historical significance.
"Tilly Jane guard station was built in the 1920s and the A-frame built in the 1930s by the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corp)," he said.
The Cloud Cap Inn was built in 1889 and is currently used as a base by the Crag Rats search and rescue team, who celebrate their 80th anniversary next week.
See Closures in Mt. Hood National Forest for complete list of closures.

Software forces PC audio chip makers to face the music
Post a comment
SAN JOSE -- Facing declining margins in the commodity PC space, traditional audio-chip vendors are looking elsewhere for profits.
The trend is becoming apparent at several leading audio-chip manufacturers and is driven primarily by the increasing use of software-based audio technology as a means to reduce the costs of PC platforms.
For example, while it will maintain a presence in the PC-audio market, Yamaha Systems Technology Inc., of San Jose, recently cancelled its YMF744 digital PC-audio controller and two related add-on cards.
Philips Semiconductors, the Dutch-based chip maker, similarly indicated that it is planning an audio strategy shift in February, according to a company spokesman, while audio-chip house ESS Technology Inc. has licensed a 32-bit MIPS core as part of its diversification effort.
A Yamaha spokeswoman confirmed the cancellation of the YMF744 controller and related XG Quad and XG Movie 5.1 sound cards, but declined to explain the decision. However, a source at the company said Yamaha is devoting more resources to software-generated PC audio than to chip development.
"The PC industry is becoming crowded, and there's not much margin in there," said a source at the company, who recalled the good old days when an audio vendor could turn a sizable profit on a $20 chip. "After the Camino chip set started shipping, the opportunities became limited."
Indeed, the introduction of Intel Corp.'s 820, or Camino, chip set in November may have signaled a turning point for the audio hardware industry by including Intel's Audio Codec '97 (AC'97) specification, which allows PC-audio software to be processed via an Intel chip set and associated analog codec.
Although the specification was first included in the Intel 810, or Whitney, chip set, the mainstream Camino device established the AC'97 and subsequent Digital Controller '98 specifications as the de facto standards in PC audio, according to observers.
Faced with that market reality, PC-audio houses have already begun to adapt their strategies. Compaq Computer Corp. and Micron Electronics Inc., for example, both are using Yamaha's RS-YXG50, a 128-voice software synthesizer application that includes Yamaha's XG digital sound modeling software.
And while Yamaha also makes the software's associated analog codec, it expects to put more resources into A/V silicon for the PC and Melody IC, a chip capable of four-voice polyphony in conjunction with secure music transmission over wireless-telephone handsets, a source close to the company said.
Likewise, Philips is looking to capitalize on its consumer-market expertise to refocus the Thunderbird line of PC-audio accelerators developed by VLSI Technology Inc., which Philips acquired earlier this year.
A spokesman at Philips in Sunnyvale, Calif., said a strategy shift should be announced sometime in February. "Customers looked at our PC chip and said, 'This is really neat,'" the spokesman said. "But they never ended up buying it."
In a similar fashion, Fremont, Calif.-based ESS Technology has licensed the MIP32-4KC synthesizable processor core from MIPS Technologies Inc. in Sunnyvale. The company will integrate the core into high-performance system-on-chip solutions for the digital consumer-appliance market.
"ESS Technology's roadmap of silicon solutions for the Internet, e-commerce, digital video, education, entertainment, and other related applications require high performance and high integration," said company chairman Fred Chan. "The power of MIPS architecture and the flexibility of MIPS Technologies' IP-business model allows ESS to develop system-on-a-chip ICs that will power the next generation of consumer entertainment appliances."

Mmm that mango sago looks amazing! That's possibly one of the main things I miss about HK! The sago in England doesn't compare (that I've tried anyway!). Ah that lipstick looks really nice from that photo, I quite like sheer lipsticks, but I guess they're not worth the money as such :P xxReplyDelete
yuuum! food looks delicious and that bubble tea looks even betterReplyDelete
I really love all of your colourful instagrams. Looks amazing! I really need to make more use of Instagram.ReplyDelete

B.C. Lions' head coach and general manager Wally Buono found a familiar face to help solve his quarterbacking woes.
Ben Sankey, who played for Buono as a Calgary Stampeder from 2000 to 2002, was signed Friday. He'll join Gino Guidugli to back up Jarious Jackson on Friday when the Montreal Alouettes visit B.C. Place Stadium.
Sankey was an emergency acquisition after Buck Pierce separated his throwing shoulder in the 45-45 Aug. 17 tie with Calgary. Pierce is expected to miss two or three games. No. 1 pivot Dave Dickenson continues to recover from a July 13 concussion, but the date of his return remains unknown.
Sankey spent two years with the NFL's Houston Texans before a stint on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats' roster. The three-year United Indoor Football veteran was 2007's most valuable player and offensive player of the year. He threw 47 touchdowns and 2,951 passing yards for the Tennessee Valley/Rock River Raptors.

Review for Goodwill Industries of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA
I started my association with Goodwill Southern California as both a merchandise and financial donor but didn't understand the full scope of their activities until I took a tour of the headquarters. In these times of high unemployment, it's great to have an organization that devotes itself to helping people prepare themselves to get back into the workplace. Between all the training programs available, including computer skills and how to interview for a job, this is an incredibly valuable service Goodwill Southern California provides to the communtiy.

Researchers at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) site located at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi, have a new computed tomography system that will enable them to "see" through sediment in ways that have been impossible in the past. The ability to acoustically "see" through sediment can be drastically hindered by gas bubbles and objects as small as the tiniest of sea shells. Additionally, acoustically "seeing" into sand is, at times, influenced by the grain to grain contacts. Since these small scale features are typically unable to be resolved with a medical computed tomography (CT) system, a higher resolution CT system was required.
CT is a specialized x-ray imaging technique that creates images by using an array of individual small x-ray sensors and a computer. Unlike medical CT, where the x-ray source spins around the object collecting data from multiple angles, the industrial CT system projects a fixed x-ray beam onto a rotating object; the x-rays that penetrate the sample are then processed into images. This system has an additional advantage, that is this system produces an image, which appears on a video monitor while the x-rays are being produced.
"To make measurements of density, porosity, and permeability that coincide with the scales of the high frequencies that we currently use, we need to have high-resolution volumetric imaging," said Dr. Allen Reed, the micro-CT operator who works in NRL's Marine Geosciences Division,. Interest is also high in the arrangement, orientation, shape and internal features and constituents (mud, gas, rock, sand) of shells as they are believed to be cause sound to be projected in undetectable ways. The CT has a three-dimensional capability that allows evaluation of the shells and the ability to see through the surrounding materials.
Although the system is capable of a variety of measurements, Dr. Reed has three principal areas of interest for its use: the kinetics of gas bubble formation in mud at varied temperature and pressure; the scalability of constituent processes with gas hydrates; and the mechanics of fluid flow within sand. "Since my work is to apply fundamental principles to actual environments, the theory sets up the basis for the evaluation," said Dr. Reed. "The CT makes it possible to see what is going on in the system and to determine if theory and what we see match up."
The CT should be able to facilitate scientific pursuits in many areas. For instance, specific predictions need to be made about the acoustic processes that are controlled by the gas bubble shape, geometry and interconnectedness in marine mud, the formation of gas hydrates in the presence of varied sediment types, with different gas and fresh water concentrations, and the predictions of fluid flow in pore space. These processes, which are governed by microscopic interactions between components, can be observed, in many cases, with the CT.
Of course there are many other Navy relevant issues that go far beyond marine geosciences, therefore additional materials are currently under evaluation. Evaluations will take place in the deterioration of metal welds - such as those found in the fleet's ships, the correlation of particles and components within polymers and asphalt, and the growth of biofilms on air filters.
Researchers from the Littoral Dynamics Team will be using the CT's capabilities to study sediment transport in the littoral zone. Dr. Tom Drake, Office of Naval Research, and Dr. Joe Calantoni, NRL Marine Geosciences Division, have developed models that track the movement of individual sand grains subject to varied wave and current speeds. These models can directly benefit from having actual grain scale images. "The CT enables the collection of images that can be used in models to make predictions of how morphology can change due to fluid flow over the bed or compression of the bed," remarked Dr. Reed.
A workshop held at Stennis Space Center in late April initiated and promoted collaborative research associated with the CT system and familiarized the potential collaborators with the system's capabilities and limitations. Professor Abraham Grader, Pennsylvania State University, the foremost expert in the scientific applications of micro-CT, led the discussions to explore a variety of scientific problems that can be solved by micro-CT. Dr. Reed led the hands-on experiments with samples provided by the participants.
Twenty-three scientists and engineers representing eleven institutions and companies participated in this workshop with representatives from imaging software companies on hand to help participants explore the various data manipulation options. The researchers were provided the opportunity to evaluate shear banding in sand, multiphase flow or drainage in sand, gas hydrate structure and constituents, volume imhomogeneities, and bubble growth dynamics in a marine mud. Results were discussed during t the course of the workshop, future collaborations were addressed, and participants were furnished with high resolution CT data of their specimens.
"We demonstrated that the CT can work much better than many other CTs currently in operation," said Dr. Reed. "We also collected the highest resolution images of gas hydrates and gas bubbles ever obtained!" While this is exciting in and of itself, these high resolution images also helped aid in the theory of bubble growth in marine mud and the scaling-down of hydrate components.
The workshop also served to develop collaborations and put together planning ideas to submit to research agencies. Collaborations with outside researchers to allow others to benefit from the CT are of prime interest to Dr. Reed. NRL can be contracted through a purchase agreement. For information on forming collaborations, contact Dr. Reed at http://www7430.nrlssc.navy.mil/facilities/CTScanner/index.htm, or by calling 228-688-5473 (office) or 228-688-5433 (CT lab).
Sidebar short story -
Support staff designs exhaust system for CT
When NRL SSC researchers needed a way to maintain a solid state (frozen) for their gas hydrate samples, the NRL support staff came to their rescue. "The trick to scanning the hydrates is to maintain the sample in a solid state long enough for at least an inch of the hydrate to be imaged," said Dr. Allen Reed, micro-CT operator (Code 7431). The support staff of Mr. Grant Bower and Mr. Conrad Kennedy fabricated a environmental chamber from a design made by Reed and Friedrich Abegg of ImF-GEOMAR. This device used an insulated aluminum chamber to exhaust gaseous nitrogen out through a chimney. Samples of gas hydrate placed within the center of the chimney remained frozen due to the cold nitrogen gas flowing around it. This "smoke stack" system allowed gas to be pumped long enough to keep the sample frozen, enabling high-resolution images to be collected.
Gas bubbles (black) within marine mud (light and dark gray) are highly effective acoustic scatterers and as such they inhibit the return of the acoustic signal and the detection of buried objects. An iron rich mineral (white) and the aluminum canister (light gray outer ring) are the other objects displayed.
Gas hydrates (dark gray) are formed in complex marine environments. In this case the hydrates are surrounded by air (black), mud (light gray) and carbonate (white).
The environmental chamber that was used to maintain the gas hydrate samples in a solid state.

In an industry with a long history of being unfriendly to women, General Motors has passed what amounts to a unique and historic milestone.
Six of the 12 seats on General Motors board of directors are now occupied by women. One of the women directors is Mary Barra, who in 2013 was chosen by the board to become GM's first female to serve as the top executive.
The gender balance on the board was reached this week at GM's annual shareholders meeting in Detroit when Jane Mendillo, the former head of Harvard University's Management Co., which is responsible for investing the university's endowment, replaced Steve Girsky on the GM board. (more…)

June 1830, from deeds of Upper North Street, appears to be the earliest date of T.R.Kemp selling off small parcels of land on Church Hill. Francis and William Hallett were important developers and builders on Church Hill, and other parts of the town, and other specialists on the Hill were the builders Thomas Wisden (a previous generation to the Wisden cricketing records) and Stephen Davey (who built some if not all of the Powis Square facades). Working with these names were Henry, Edward and George Faithfull, the Baring family of bankers, and the Welshman John Yearsley, as financiers and developers, together with a range of other small local traders and businessmen.
John Yearsley, owner of a local foundry and ironmonger's business, was originally from Powys, and it was assumed from notes by James Gray that he named his 'Powis' part of this development after his homeland. However, John's brother, William Yearsley was probably the most successful solicitor in Welshpool in his day, he provided services to the Earl of Powys, and from a distance was influential in John Yearsley's plans. The second Earl was killed in an accident on 17th Jan 1848, and the name of Powis appears in Brighton, on John Yearsley's land, that year, so the new thinking is that John and William used the name Powis in memory of the Earl, not the land.
A plan by A.H. Wilds for Hampton Terrace was published in 1825, by 1838 the first two homes in Victoria Road were built, and at the beginning of the 1830s Hampton Villa was built on the corner of Montpelier Street and Upper North Street. The canopied villas between Montpelier Villas and Montpelier Street were started in 1843.
Victoria Street was started in 1840 and still being built in 1850. Victoria Road had several traders by 1850, the leasehold land for Powis Villas was sold by Thomas Read Kemp's widow to John Yearsley in September 1846 with the first houses, numbers 2 and 3 Powis Villas, listed in street directories of 1848. Montpelier Crescent was built between 1843 and 1847, the land for the southern end of Clifton Road was sold for development in March 1845, Powis Square was started in 1849/50, Powis Road was started in 1852 and St. Michael's Place in 1868. The first house in Clifton Hill was number 13, built and trading as a laundry service by 1839, number 7 was built for John Yearsley in 1845, numbers 1 to 4 were built between 1848 and 1850 and on the south side, close to the corner with Powis Villas, the pretty bow-fronted terraced homes are on land first sold for development in 1846. Opposite these, numbers 8 and 9 Clifton Hill were built in 1851. Clifton Hill was so named in the latter part of 1845. While all this development was gathering pace on the west side of Church Hill, over on the eastern side Brighton Station was opened in 1841, which was a spur to the development of Western Road as a shopping and retail centre and to Church Hill West Side as the residential estates of Clifton, Montpelier and Powis.
The period from 1840 to the mid 1850s saw intense building activity on the original farming and grazing land that is now the Clifton, Montpelier and Powis estate. The bulk of the development was in these years, and a few brief facts illustrate its importance to the architectural history of Brighton and Hove. It was the first large scale Victorian residential development in Brighton. It was the first example of the landed gentry selling land that was to be developed by small local businessmen, and to be built by local craftsmen/carpenters, bricklayers/builders, who also often had a financial involvement themselves. Compared with the grand terraces of the earlier Georgian developers, our area saw the first examples of the relatively small, detached and semi-detached family town-centre houses of the middle classes
It is also interesting to remember that these new homes of the richer middle class merchants and business owners were side-by-side to the new homes of the Brighton builders, carpenters and craftsmen, who while building larger houses for their richer clients, were creating small classic terraced homes for themselves in the same area. Clifton Terrace and Upper North Street are good examples of this.
Couple these facts to the unique examples of the small detached villas that make up the west side of Powis Villas, the unique early Victorian street of semi-detached houses in Montpelier Villas, also the two pairs at the bottom of Clifton Hill, together with the 'link-detached' mansions in Montpelier Crescent, all having been built between 1843 and 1850, and it becomes clear that this conservation area is a remarkable and unique example of the emerging architectural style of the early Victorian middle classes.
The above is a detail from the 'Panorama of Brighton', drawn by A.H. Wilds and published in 1833 by Mason in Brighton and Ackermann in London. It gives a rare view of the seaside end of our area and from the text at the base of the print it shows the junction of Montpelier Road as it joins the King's Road, together with a view of Oriental Place, at the top of which is Sillwood House, the home of Sir David Scott. Sillwood House flats now occupy that site.

Former High Court Judge Michael Kirby has told the Sydney Writers' Festival that growing up gay in Sydney was a lonely affair.
- Print page

Michael Kirby says growing up in Sydney as a young gay man in the 1950s was a time of silence and denial.
In fact, much of his life was a secret.
That is until he came out with his partner Johan van Vloten, in an entry in Who's Who in the late 1990s.
"Well it was sort of stylish I think," former Justice Kirby says.
Former Justice Kirby has spoken candidly at the Sydney Writers' Festival about life and love, and his book A Private Life: Fragments, Memories and Friends.
"I thought if you can tell the story to people who hate or have hostility to gays, of how ordinary it all is and how it's quite not threatening and quite normal and it's just sometimes boring, I think that's a useful thing for people to know, so I did it," he says of his book.
He says he wasn't able to talk to anyone about his sexuality when he was a young man, because of the culture of silence which still exists to a degree today.
"I didn't really feel ashamed because I knew this was just me," he says.
"I concentrated on the things that could give me self esteem, doing very well at school.
"(I had) noone to talk to at all. My parents were very loving, young supportive parents but I was taught that this was something I had to be deeply ashamed of.
"That is still the case in some parts of Australia, regional and rural Australia, I think it would still be not that easy."
You can listen to an edited version of former Justice Kirby's conversation with Anne Summers at the Sydney Writers' Festival on this page.

Step 14 Now for some subtle and elegant typography to contrast the grunge of the rest of the piece. Type God Save The Queen, placing one word per line – a phrase that's tied to both the British monarchy and the punk scene. I used a classic Serif Bold typeface. Use a golden colour (#bfb373) as it'll stand out from the black-and-white background, even when we lower its opacity in the next step.
Step 15 For a stylish transparency with some neat highlights, set the typography layer's blending mode to Overlay, then duplicate it. Change this new layer's blending mode to Normal, and use a very low opacity of 25%.
Step 16 In the final step, create a white layer at the top of the layer stack and add a Layer mask. With a big, soft, black brush, erase the centre.
Detach the link with the group and enlarge the mask, vertically.
Once you're done, set the opacity to 50%. Doing this will add greater focus to the composition, as well as give a dreamy feel to the overall piece.

INDIANAPOLIS | The latest state revenue forecast projects Indiana tax receipts from riverboat casino bets will decline over the next two years by $41.4 million, a 9 percent drop, due to competition from new casinos in Ohio.
Indiana is expected to take in $464.3 million in wagering taxes from its 11 riverboat casinos during the current 2013 budget year, which ends June 30. Wagering tax revenue is slated to fall to $432.3 million in 2014 and $422.9 million in 2015.
The state had revenue of $496.5 million from riverboat casino bets during the 2012 budget year. As recently as 2008, when Illinois was the only adjacent state with casinos, Indiana gaming revenue totaled $582.9 million.
Ohio opened land-based casinos this year in Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo. It's also on pace to open seven "racinos," horse-racing tracks with slot machines.
The final Ohio casino, scheduled to open this spring in Cincinnati, is expected to have the greatest impact on Indiana, draining gamblers and revenue from the three Hoosier casinos just across the state line from Cincinnati.
Meanwhile, Michigan, Illinois and Kentucky also are threatening Indiana's gaming revenue.
Several tribal casinos have opened in southwestern Michigan in the past few years, including Four Winds— just minutes away from Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City. A proposed tribal casino for South Bend is under review by federal officials.
Illinois lawmakers are close to approving casinos for downtown Chicago and the south suburbs that are expected to attract Illinois and Indiana residents currently playing at casinos in Hammond, Gary and East Chicago.
Finally, Kentucky voters may soon get a chance to amend their state constitution to legalize gambling, most likely at Churchill Downs in Louisville just across the Ohio River from an Indiana casino.
The 2014-15 state revenue forecast does not account for the possible Illinois casinos which, if approved, would almost certainly drop annual Indiana wagering tax revenue well below $400 million.
State Sen. Luke Kenley, R-Noblesville, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said he believes Indiana gaming revenue will never return to the heights of the good old days when there was little competition from other states.
But Kenley said state lawmakers should support measures that ensure Indiana casinos remain as competitive as possible.
"You've created an industry you've said, 'We're willing to have,' and you have to be viable. So now I think it's a question of whether we're going to make changes that allow them to continue to be viable or whether we're going to let the industry just die," Kenley said.
Attracting new players appears to be the main challenge for Indiana casinos. After growing steadily from 1996 to 2003, casino attendance has remained between 25 million and 27 million patrons every year since 2004.

this is rapidly becoming an all time fav for me. I love my nudes but was quite sick of the pale pinks and beiges. Thought i'd give this one a whirl cos i'm a sucker with a polish that has background iridescence. Man am i in love !! This is wasy to apply , looks great on pale or tanned skin and gives a lovely polished finish (by polished i mean elegant and very very pretty). I guess for me this is the equivalent to 'my nails but better' . Love Love Love !

Firstly, the name of this polish is so deceiving! It doesn't look like the sand nor the beach! Or what you would think of as a combination of sand and beach..
Anyways, this is by far the nudest colour I own. Normally a bright nail polish wearer, I realised that since I'm going to start working in a very conservative environment soon I'd better find me some nice subtle shades. I bought this polish for $8 NZD on sale as I never would have paid the full price ($24.50 NZD, day time robbery people!). It's a light-mid tone taupe with flashes of purple and pink so it doesn't look dead boring on my hands. The application is nice and smooth and the lasting power is more than decent. I must say the colour is a bit too muted for my taste, but hey, that's nude polishes for you right?

I have found my holy grail nude. I am so happy. After trying different kinds of neutrals that they say are the best (even got OPI Bubble Bath after learning that it is Food Network's Giada de Laurentiis' signature polish), everything looked like crap on my nails. I guess I kept trying colors that looked good on lighter skinned women. I'm an NC30, and I thought I'd NEVER find my perfect nude so I kept wearing plums and browns, until Sand of a Beach (which I just tried yesterday). It's a light nudish taupe with lavender iridescence and with enough shimmer to let others know you're actually wearing polish. Perfect for work and everyday. Looks so clean, classy, sophisticated yet simple at the same time. Needless to say, I will be repurchasing. I need to get backups of these lest it gets discontinued. Found a goldmine in 8ty8beauty.com where I got this; they sell Essies for less than 4 bucks.

A very pretty sheer taupe nude color with pink flashes. Its a great color when you want a manicure to last awhile and for chips to go unnoticed. I am wearing it now to grow out my super short nails to keep them neat, but not too noticeable.I would definitely repurchase.

I generally like sutle nude colors on my hands and this one definately fits that bill. This is a very irridecent color, so it the bottle it looks biege with a hint of pink and green. On my nails is looks very similar, it reminds me of the inside of a seashell. It is a pinky biege, with a pink irridencene is practically looks nude on my skin (NW35). It is very unique and although I used this color when I got my nails done, I would consider buying it for myself.

This is a nice, subtle color. It gives me mannequin hands with a subtle shimmer. Sometimes this looks like a beige with iridescent pink shimmer, sometimes it all blurs together and looks like a beige-y soft pink. I consider it Demure Vixen's little sister.
Application is a breeze but a top coat is mandatory, unless you want visible tip wear.
Overall, this is a very nice neutral polish.

A pretty taupe with flashes of pink in the bottle, this came out a strange greyish color with flashes of pink on my nails. I'm a neutral leaning toward cool PPP and this just looked awful on me. As with most Essies I've tried, application was smooth and streak free. Oh well, up for swap it goes!

A cool taupe that flashes a bit of pink and lavendar kind of worked with my medium, lightly-tanned skin tone. It didn't look horrible, but in some lights the color looked drab. I don't think I'll be reaching for it very often, but it's not getting put in the give-away box just yet.

This is a difficult color to describe. It's a sheer gray-beige/taupe color with some pink and a lavender flash to it. There's also a fine shimmer to it. It's a very neutral color on the nails, but has a nice irridescence and sparkle to it. Subtle, but not boring. I don't think it's the best color for my cool toned PPP skin, but it is still very wearable and looks nice. Overall, it's not the most thrilling color I've ever worn, but a good one for a nudish nail. I'm VERY picky about my sheers (most never get above a 3 lippie rating) and this is a nice one that I'd actually consider wearing or buying again. However, for my skin tone, I'm not sure if it is special enough to go into heavy rotation.

I'm somewhat on the fence about this shade. It was a lemming for quite a while and now that I finally have it, I'm not so sure it looks that great on me. Cooler shades look the best on me and this isn't exactly warm, but its more neutral and isn't that striking against my fair skin. The color is pretty though. Its a light beige with a slight pink iridecense.

When I received a copy of Lindsay Landis and Taylor Hackbarth's (the dynamic duo behind Love and Olive Oil) new cookbook, Breakfast for Dinner, I squealed with delight. Then, I locked myself in the bedroom and read the whole thing, cover-to-cover.
When it comes to breakfast, I'd like to consider myself a die-hard fan. Have you clicked on my "What's For Breakfast?" tab lately? In fact, I eat "breakfast" for at least two meals a day, probably four days a week. I love it. I love a beautifully cooked egg, a mix of savory and sweet flavors, and I love that it can be so comforting.
This being said, I was extremely impressed by Breakfast for Dinner. Trust me, it's not all eggs and French toast, though both of those breakfast stars make impressive appearances here.
Landis and Hackbarth incorporate so many cultural inspirations into their diner-formatted pages. Dishes like "Loco Moco," "Huevos Rancheros" and "Coroccan Chicken" all get an updated flavor profile while keeping the familiarity of them that we all love. For example, the Moroccan pastilla*, described as "sweet and savory meat pies laced with cinnamon and wrapped in phyllo-like dough" becomes Moroccan Chicken Cinnamon Rolls, wrapped in a spiral of puff pastry.
Every component of every dish is broken down into componenets that can be made and enjoyed all on their own (like Tomato Peach Jam, highlighted with the Parmesan Beignets recipe). Also, the more unusual ingredients are always described on the side, along with where to find them or what to substitute them for.
I can hardly wait to try the Shakshuka (Middle Eastern poached eggs in rich tomato sauce) or the beautiful Greek Baked Eggs.
I also love that subtle breakfast flavors are incorporated into the desserts section. From Vietnamese Iced-Coffee Pops to Chocolate Maple Fudge Sauce, there are countless items I wish Lindsay would come over and make for me (oh fine, I'll make them myself).
Overall, the book is beautiful. The photography is simple, bold, and appetite-inducing (Landis and Hackbarth did all of the photography for the book too) and the fonts and layout of the pages are reminiscent of a country diner I wish was down the street from me.
Want to win a copy of Breakfast for Dinner (it doesn't even go on sale until February 12th)??
To enter: Leave a comment telling me your ideal breakfast meal (pretend you don't have to make it!).
I'll pick a random lucky winner on Sunday and send a copy of this beautiful cookbook to you!

NEW YORK (AP)Robinson Canos grand slam gave the New York Yankees a chance. Russell Martins slam gave them the lead. Curtis Grandersons slam gave them the record.
The Yankees became the first team in Major League Baseball history to hit three slams in a game, rallying from an early six-run deficit to mash the Oakland Athletics 22-9 on a wet, wild Thursday.
Youre not going to see it again, probably, Yankees captain Derek Jeter said. You cant explain it.
Funny thing: The Yankees couldve hit even more grand slams, given all the chances the As presented them. Helped by 13 walks, New York batters went to the plate a whopping 16 times with the bases loaded.
Jeter alone came up four times with the bags juiced. He grounded out twice, struck out and walked in those spots. Overall, the Yankees went 6 for 13 with two walks and a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded.
In nearly a century of storied slugging, the Bronx Bombers had never put on a show quite like this. Nobody had, in fact.
Im surprised it hadnt been done before with all the great teams and great individual hitters that have come throughout the course of the game, Granderson said.
With MLB in its 136th year and approaching its 200,000th regular-season game next month, the Yankees knew it was a slammin day. Not until they saw a note posted on the video board about the three slams, however, did they realize exactly what theyd achieved.
This game has been played for a long time. Pretty much everything has already happened, Martin said.
Except this.
Definitely cool. It was fun to be part of it, Martin said. When theres nowhere to put them, they have to throw strikes.
Martin homered twice and doubled, setting career highs with five hits and six RBIs. Cano and Granderson each drove in five runs as the Yankees pulled off their biggest comeback win since 2006 and avoided a three-game sweep.
On a dreary afternoon, some fans headed home with the Yankees trailing 7-1 after three innings and rain still falling in a game that began after an 89-minute delay.
Turns out they missed the Yankees coming homeover and over and over.
Cano began the barrage with his slam in the fifth, a clean shot into the lower deck in right field off starter Rich Harden that made it 7-6.
Martin connected in the sixth off Fautino De Los Santos, a fly that barely made it over the auxiliary scoreboard in right for a 10-7 lead.
Granderson took his turn in the eighth, launching a no-doubt drive into New Yorks right-center field bullpen with two outs off Bruce Billings.
It was the Yankees highest-scoring game since they got 22 runs at Boston in 2000, and it tied the team record set in 1931 for most runs in a home game.
The 22 runs marked the most allowed by the Athletics since 1955, when they were based in Kansas City and lost 29-6 to the Chicago White Sox.
It only counts as one (loss), but it was definitely embarrassing, Oakland interim manager Bob Melvin said.

Good news for fans of the obscure, unheard, and obtuse, as Alan Bishop's Sublime Frequencies label has a few new albums due out later this month. Three new releases are coming January 22, 2013 and focus on Korea, Burma, Singapore, and Malaysia.
The first is Scattered Melodies: Korean Kayagum Sanjo compiled by 78 rpm record enthusiast, Sublime Frequencies contributor, and Climax Golden Twins co-founder Robert Millis. The collection focuses on Korean kayagum sanjo, a form of improvised music somewhere between folk and classical, developed in the 1890s for the kayagum (kayagum, or gayageum, being a stringed instrument similar to a zither or a Japanese koto). The music features slowly building tempos, elastic rhythms, and improvised melodies. The songs on the album are pulled from Korean 78 rpm records dated between 1925 and 1959 that have survived Japanese and Red Army occupation, a full scale war fought by the United States, and almost 70 years of a divided people. Scattered Melodies will arrive in a tip-on jacket including a two-sided insert and extensive liner notes by Millis.
The second collection for early next year focuses on Burma. The Crying Princess: 78 RPM Records from Burma is a collection compiled from the 78s purchased by Millis and label head (and former Sun City Girl) Bishop from various trips to Burma (Myanmar) over the years. The songs are pulled from records dating between 1909 (!) and 1960. This record features early tracks from early giant of the Burmese music scene Po Sein, vocal and harp music from the 1920s, "modern" songs with electric guitar, and unique Burmese pop songs with piano. The Crying Princess and Scattered Melodies are Sublime Frequencies' first-ever collections of 78s.
Finally, the third release for January is Pop Yeh Yeh – Psychedelic Rock from Singapore and Malaysia 1964-1970: Volume 1. Compiled after eight years of research by Carl Hamm, the compilation features 26 songs on CD of Pop Yeh Yeh, a style unique to Singapore and Malaysia that's a cross-pollination of Beatles-influenced Western rock as well as homegrown sounds. The first compilation released in the United States to focus primarily on Malay rock group, Pop Yeh Yeh should be accessible to Western ears while retaining its foreign allure.
For anyone looking to expand their musical horizons, or if you're just burnt out on vaporwave, make sure to keep an eye out this upcoming January, as Sublime Frequencies only does limited runs of their albums and does not repress anything.
