Pescara boss Cristian Bucchi has admitted that he is 'not naïve' regarding his future at the club.
The Delfini are currently bottom of the Serie A table, six points adrift after their 2-0 loss to Juventus last Saturday.
And the 36-year-old has conceded that the defeat at the weekend could mean trouble for his team – and his job.
"We knew it would be a difficult game," he told a Press conference. "But I think we played a decent game.
"It was difficult to prepare for that game because we had to win, but we couldn't attack too much.
"As long as we're not mathematically down, no one should give up.
"My future? Of course I'd love to stay, but I'm not naïve. I'll give my best in these last remaining games then see what happens."

Teens and Marijuana Use
Some teens smoke marijuana because "everyone is doing it", however that is not true. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse's (NIDA) 2011 Monitoring the Future study about 7.2 percent of 8th graders, 17.6 percent of 10th graders, and 22.6 percent of 12th graders had used marijuana in the month before the survey. In fact, marijuana use declined from the late 1990s through 2007, with a decrease in past-year use of more than 20 percent in all three grades combined from 2000 to 2007. However, regular daily use among some groups has increased. In 2011, 6.6 percent of 12th graders reported using marijuana daily, compared to 5.0 percent in 2006. There are many short and long term health effects associated with marijuana use. The THC (main psychoactive or mind altering ingredient) found in marijuana triggers brain cells to release the chemical dopamine. Dopamine creates good feelings, but for a short time. THC effects the functioning of the brain and interferes with learning and memory; that is because the hippocampus (the part of the brain most affected by marijuana use) plays a critical role in certain types of learning. Disrupting its normal functioning can lead to problems studying, learning new things, and recalling recent events. Another health risk involves the heart rate. Within a few minutes after inhaling marijuana smoke, an individual's heart begins beating more rapidly, the bronchial passages relax and become enlarged, and blood vessels in the eyes expand, making the eyes look red. The heart rate, normally 70 to 80 beats per minute, may increase by 20 to 50 beats per minute or, in some cases, even double. This effect can be greater if other drugs are taken with marijuana. While most people who smoke marijuana do not go on to use other drugs, long-term studies of high school students show that few young people use other illegal drugs without first trying marijuana. For example, the risk of using cocaine is much greater for those who have tried marijuana than for those who have never tried it. Using marijuana puts children and teens in contact with people who use and sell other drugs. So, a person who uses marijuana is more likely to be exposed to, and urged to try other drugs. The effects of marijuana on the brain of adolescents may also affect their likelihood of using other drugs as they get older. Marijuana is addictive. About 9 percent of people who use marijuana become dependent on it. The number increases to about one in six among those who start using it at a young age, and to 25 to 50 percent among daily users. Because marijuana increases dopamine and thus the "high", a user may feel the urge to smoke marijuana again and again to re-create that experience. Repeated use could lead to addiction, a disease that can have severe negative consequences at the personal, social, academic, and professional levels. A number of studies have shown an association between chronic marijuana use and increased rates of anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia. Some of these studies have shown age at first use to be an important risk factor. Early use can lead to increased vulnerability to problems later in life including addiction.
Parents! Talk to you teens about the dangers and health risks involved with marijuana use. They will listen!

I don't see this on my Galaxy SII, nor a Nexus S. Can you trace a regression?
I see this on my Nexus One and Galaxy Tab (7")
My guess is it's either a regression from bug 678480 or bug 686417. Can we try nightlies to find the regression range?
I can't reproduce this in desktop Fennec, even after selecting the Froyo skin and setting layout.css.dpi=240 in prefs.js.
I also can't reproduce this on T-Mobile G2 (Android 2.3) running the latest trunk Nightly 10.0a1 (20110928).
I do see this on Samsung Verizon Galaxy Tab 7" (Android 2.2).
This started happening since bug 678480 was fixed.
Last build that wasn't with this problem:
First build with this problem:
*** Bug 691541 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Who can work on this? It's needed in Aurora ASAP.

This patch removes the fixed width/height in browser.xul causing less resizes. This fixes the content offset problem and might even help startup a tiny bit.
Test build is here:
Comment on attachment 565647 [details] [diff] [review]
Nominating for Aurora 9. This is a low-risk mobile only change that fixes a user-visible regression in the first-run animation on Android 2.2 devices. The change just removes a hard-coded size from our main XUL window so that it will not need to resize again during startup. (The hard-coded size has always been useful only on desktop Fennec builds.)

Nightly (10/11)
This is still visible on (10/11 Nightly); albeit the thin line is now grey.
The fix for this has landed and won't be backed out. It did fix the issues for personal builds. We are working through the issues with nightly builds in bug 691541.
Let's leave this bug and move to bug 691541.
Not sure if FIXED or DUPE is better for this one. Choosing DUPE for now.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 691541 ***

text: This Necklace Can Tell What You're Eating By How It Sounds Going DownEsther Inglis-Arkell3/16/16 4:12pmFiled to: foodfood trackersdietscience182EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Scientists at the University at Buffalo are developing a necklace that will track your food intake by the sound you make when you're chewing it and gulping it down. No more embarrassing food journals! Just embarrassing accessories! Advertisement The latest issue of IEEE Sensors Journal describes the development and testing process for AutoDietary, a device that lets you monitor what you eat by listening in on your eating process. The necklace contains a small microphone worn against the throat, so it can monitor the different crunching sounds a person makes when they chew as well as the sound the food makes when they swallow it down. The project is headed by Wenyao Xu, an assistant professor at the University at Buffalo, and the archivist of the world's first "food sound library." The library allows the AutoDietary device to identify what their wearers are chewing and swallowing. The necklace will send the information to the user's smartphone via Bluetooth where the food intake data is stored. While the technology is relatively well refined identification process isn't yet perfect. A study done on 12 subjects eating apples, carrots, potato chips, cookies, peanuts and walnuts determined that AutoDietary is 85 percent accurate in distinguishing between different foods. It obviously also can't distinguish between, for example, milk and chocolate milk. However, when the team lent the necklace out to 53 people, most of them were satisfied with AutoDietary's ability to track their food. Advertisement The researchers say they will continue expanding the library and making the device more accurate. One day, they'd like AutoDietary to identify the food being eaten and display nutritional information—allowing users to see how much sugar, fat, and other substances they've taken in, and track how its metabolized by their body. This may help not only people who don't want to painstakingly record all their food in a journal, but also people like diabetics who need to monitor their hour-to-hour blood sugar.

Pros and Cons of Leasing A Car in Today's Economy
In today's economy as finances are tight and people still want to maintain their standard of living, leasing a car can be an attractive option.
This was a shift just as the economic downturn began, and leases have remained a popular option throughout the economic difficulties. However, leasing also comes with some disadvantages, and it's critical to consider the pros and cons of leasing a car when making a decision.
Pro: Lower Monthly Payment
There's a reason car commercials usually show the lease price, not the monthly payment on a purchase, and it's because lease payments on a vehicle are generally less expensive than loan payments. Because you're financing just the depreciation on the vehicle during the time you are in the lease, not the full value of the vehicle, you will have much lower monthly payments.
These low payments make it possible for you to drive a nicer car than you could afford if you had to finance the purchase price. The low monthly payments also provide financial breathing room for people who are trying to build savings in case of job loss or other economic difficulties.
Con: No Time Without Payments
When a lease is up, you are suddenly left without a car, and therefore you need to either lease another car or purchase a car to keep driving. Therefore, you're in a cycle of always making car payments. However, if you were to purchase a vehicle, you would have the option of continuing to drive it even after paying off your auto loan.
In fact, during the recession, people have been holding onto their used cars for longer than in the past, largely because of the appeal of not having to make any monthly payments after the loan is paid in full.
Pro: Fewer Upfront Costs and Maintenance Costs
Leases typically come with a "what you see is what you get" price. Drivers can often sign a lease with little or no down payment, which means that savings aren't required to get a new car.
In addition, leased vehicles are typically under warranty for the entire lease period, which gives the peace of mind that the driver is not going to have to pay for any major repairs during the lease contract. This freedom from unexpected maintenance costs is financially reassuring for many people who don't have much wiggle room in their budget.
Con: Penalties for Excess Mileage and Wear and Tear
You may be faced with some steep financial penalties when you finish the term on your lease, thanks to excess mileage fees and fees for excess wear and tear. Leases generally include between 12,000 and 15,000 miles per year, but if you have driven more than that when your lease is over, you'll be paying a penalty of anywhere from 10 to 25 cents per mile.
Therefore, if you have a long commute, you may be better off purchasing a car instead so you don't have the mileage cap hanging over your head. The other cost you may face at the end of the lease is a charge for anything beyond "normal" wear and tear. Any extra wear on the tires, brakes, and body of the car will cost you.
The decision of whether to buy or lease a car largely depends on your personal preferences. If you like the freedom of driving a new car every few years for a flat monthly cost and don't want the hassle of selling or trading in your vehicle, leasing is an attractive option. On the other hand, if you prefer investing now in an asset that you can keep after you're done making payments, you could be better off buying a car.

I haven't seen BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR yet. Frankly, if it wasn't for the supposedly intense lesbian scenes between stars Léa Seydoux and Adčle Exarchopoulos, I probably wouldn't bother with it. There are noteworthy exceptions, but for the most part I'm bored stiff by the pretentious festival circuit movies. That being said, by the look of these two entwined around one another for Interview magazine, I'm certainly willing to overlook my preconceptions. What can I say, lesbians and intense sex scenes make all the difference. I'll just go with it like so many NC-17 sex romps from Europe that have come before. You watch some shit with subtitles for a bit until the hot sex scene. Then you watch some more subtitled shit until the next scene.
Does that make me seem like an ignorant rube of an American? Tough. Hey look, I'm a heterosexual, American male and therefore without much stake in the relationship issues between French lesbians. That's just a fact. However, slip a bunch of intense sex scenes in between the story of a French lesbian relationship and you've just given me ample reason to invest my time. That probably makes me a pig in addition to being an ignorant rube. Meh, I'm cool with that.

Location description from owner
The Turkish Aegean Coast region
The Aegean Coast region
The Aegean Coast is a truly beautiful part of Turkey and has something for everyone. Turkey's Aegean Coast is one of the country's most attractive holiday destinations, with towns such as Bodrum, Marmaris, Kusadasi and Altinkum sitting alongside a host of classical ruins and perfect beaches.
Local Area:
It will take you no more than 10 minutes by dolmus (local minibus) or via car to Altinkum resort centre with its Golden Sandy beaches and many bars and restaurants. Altinkum means Golden Sands in Turkish. With great sandy beaches and safe .shallow warm water ideal for small children. If you are not one for sitting on beach all day you can try many watersports at the beachfront.
There are 3 main beaches in Altinkum. Ist beach and 2nd Beach (sometimes called Tuntas Beach). Sunloungers and umbrellas can be rented from many of the restaurants and bars dotted along the waterfront. There is also 3rd beach which is close to the new marina. You will find a childrens carnival (fairground with rides) close to the Marina.
You can visit the new multi million pound marina ( D-Marin), this is one of the largest marinas in the whole of the Mediterranean region. You can admire the many luxury yachts moored here from around the world. Or you can easily spend a day relaxing at the Yacht Club.
Every Saturday is market day in Didim where you can haggle with the sellers on many items including household goods, fruit, vegetables and fake designer goods.
8 minutes drive in the opposite direction will take you to Didim Aqua Park a great family day out. This Aqua park is very close to Mavesehir famous for its stunning sunsets and many seafront restaurants. Mavesehir is famous for its daily market which opens very late (summer months) and is good for bargain hunting. Fruit, vegetables, designer fake clothing and many other things can be purchased here. It has many restaurants which offer great tasting food at reasonable cost.
Ancient History:
Just 10 minutes walk from our apartments or 5 minutes by car is the famous Temple of Apollo (Didyma). This is one of Turkeys premier ancient tourist site. It should be on top of the things to do in in Altinkum (Didim). This is one of the best preserved ancient temples in turkey dating back thousands of years. You can also enjoy a drink or 2 at the small café/restaurants situated before the entrance to the temple. There a number of small eateries located near the temple good for refreshments and lunch.
About 30 minutes drive will take you to the ancient ruins of Miletus. 40 mins will take you to the ancient ruins of Priene on the slopes of Mount Mycale.
For those of you who want to travel a bit further afield. You can visit Ephesus which is between 1hour to 1 hour 30 minutes from here. This ancient site is the best preserved ancient site in the whole of the Mediterranean region. It's is worth mentioning Turkey has more Greek and Roman sites than Greece and Italy.
You can always head towards Kusadasi and visit the biggest Aqua Park in Europe (Ada Land). For those of you nature lovers about 40 minutes drive will take you to Milli Park near Davutlar (very close to Kusadasi). This is a national park with many protected bays. And great views of greek island of Samos which is less than a mile away across the sea. Milli Park has many animal and plant species. It is a great day to spend a day and swim in many of its beaches with crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea.
There are too many great restaurants to name which cater for everyone. Whether you want to sample the delicious local Turkish cuisine or you miss home food. Many restaurants and bars can be found close to the apartment. Many of these restaurants also offer a free pick up and drop off taxi service for customers ideal if you want to enjoy drinks and do not wish to drive or walk back late at night. Or you can go to the main resort centre where you will find many fast food places such as Burger King, Mcdonalds, Dominos Pizza etc.
One of our favourite restaurant is Alo 24 this is open 24/7. Fantastic food at great prices. They also do a takeway service. This is situated on the main road to the beach. Just a few minutes walk from our apartment is the Meandros Garden Restaurant. This is another great restaurant. Try the Lamb Tandir (slow cooked in a clay oven) delicious. And than there is Just 4 You again only a few minutes walk from the apartment. Many British expats eat here.
There are many bars to choose from. Many can be found on the beachfront along altinkum main beach and Dolphin Square. For those feeling energetic you can dance the night away at the Medusa Disco Club situated on second beach.
There is a small local shop just 2 minutes walk from here (Turan Market) which caters for your basics needs. You will be surprised what you can find at this small shop. There are 4 large supermarkets 10 minutes driveway, Tansas, Carrefour, Migros and Kipa (Tesco) and many smaller ones.

|[jira] Commented: (DERBY-481) implement SQL generated columns
|Mon, 27 Oct 2008 13:20:44 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-481?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12642912#action_12642912 ] Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-481: ------------------------------------- Hi Bryan, Thanks for reading the patches. I appreciate having another set of eyes on this! I think that your questions will be addressed in the next couple of patches, which should introduce INSERT-time and UPDATE-time processing. In coding INSERT/UPDATE support, I took CHECK constraints as my model. This is what's going on in the prototype: When you INSERT into a table which has a generated column: 1) During compilation, at generate() time, we build a function to evaluate the generation clause. 2) At execution time, we run that function on every row that will be inserted into the table. The function runs AFTER the non-generated columns are populated but BEFORE we run triggers, enforce constraints, and build index rows. All of this happens before the base and index rows are handed to the Store. When you UPDATE a table which has a generated column: 3) During compilation, at bind() time we determine whether we need to re-evaluate any of the generation clauses. We decide to re-generate a column if we see that one of the columns that it references is being changed. So in the example you gave, we would decide to re-generate c given the following update statement: update bry set b = b + 3 but we would decide NOT to re-generate c given the following update statement update bry set a = a + 3 4) At execution time, we run that function on every row that is being updated. As with INSERT, the function runs AFTER the non-generated columns are populated but BEFORE we run triggers, enforce constraints, and build index rows. That, at least, is how the prototype is supposed to work! So to answer your questions directly: A) Generation clauses are evaluated when you INSERT and UPDATE rows. B) For UPDATEs, we re-evaluate a generation clause only if we are changing one of the columns that it references. Thanks, -Rick > implement SQL generated columns > ------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-481 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-481 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 10.0.2.1 > Reporter: Rick Hillegas > Assignee: Rick Hillegas > Attachments: derby-481-00-aa-prototype.diff, derby-481-01-aa-catalog.diff, derby-481-02-aa-utilities.diff, derby-481-03-aa-grammar.diff, GeneratedColumns.html > > > Satheesh has pointed out that generated columns, a SQL 2003 feature, would satisfy the performance requirements of Expression Indexes (bug 455). Generated columns may not be as elegant as Expression Indexes, but they are easier to implement. We would allow the following new kind of column definition in CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE statements: > columnName GENERATED ALWAYS AS ( expression ) > If expression were an indexableExpression (as defined in bug 455), then we could create indexes on it. There is no work for the optimizer to do here. The Language merely has to compute the generated column at INSERT/UPDATE time. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

What the expert says...
Johno Verity is one of the UK's best-known riders - a former British big air champion, he now specialises in big mountain freeriding.
Pick your lead leg Before you step on to a board, you need to know which leg is your leading one - you can't start learning until you decide. You are 'goofy' if you have your right foot forward, 'regular' if it's your left. Your stance has nothing to do with whether you are left- or right-handed - the best way to find out is to get someone to push you gently from behind to see which foot you instinctively put out to save yourself from falling.
Be patient Don't expect to be able to ride just because you can ski. The technique is very different. Snowboarding has a steep learning curve and it may be frustrating to be a beginner again. That said, it helps to have an understanding of how a ski works for edge control. Don't be too impatient to master it all at once - I am still learning after 12 years.
Rise and fall You will fall. A lot. Try to stay relaxed. Once you've stopped sliding, position yourself so your board is lower than your body and parallel to the mountain, so you don't start sliding as you get up. It's easier to get up from your toe edge (facing into the piste) than heel edge (facing down the piste), so if you're struggling, roll on to your front and get up on your toes, using your hands to help push you up. Look behind before moving off.
Master the chairlift To get on and off the lift (or negotiate any flat area), you need to release your back foot and 'skate'. Keep as much of your weight as possible on your lead foot, using your rear foot like a paddle. With your lead foot facing forwards, twist round to make sure you grab the chair before it slams into your leg. To get off, slide to the front of the chair, jam your back foot up against its binding, to stop it from sliding on the board and making you unstable, then hold on to the chair until you are standing up and sliding, and push off and skate forward - try not to grab other people for support.
Stay fit all year Anything that works on leg strength and stamina - such as cycling - is great. Also try exercises for core stability, such as Pilates or yoga.
Get your stance right You control the direction and speed of the board with your body weight, so stance is important. Keep your knees bent and body weight centred, as if you are going to sit down. Stay relaxed. Always keep the weight on your lead foot, unless you are riding powder, when your weight needs to be on the back in order to 'skim' over the snow.
Learn to turn When you are at the top of the piste, visualise the line you are going to carve with your board when you make your turns. There is a moment in each turn when you have to commit to freefall, when neither edge is gripping. But trust your edges - don't be tempted to lean into the mountain. I try to get people to turn by using their shoulders as a rudder. It also helps to lift the toe of your back foot and push down with the toe of your lead foot to initiate a toe-edge turn - the opposite for a heel-edge turn.
Be confident Snowboarding is 30% skill, 70% confidence. Most people fall because they are scared of going too fast and being out of control. Say to yourself 'don't fall' and remember speed is your friend - going too slowly makes life more difficult.
Getting started
Do some research Snowboard Club UK (snowboardclub.co.uk) is an enthusiasts' organisation set up by snowboarders for snowboarders. It's worth watching snowboarding DVDs and getting yourself in shape before you hit the slopes - try Skilates, a Pilates-based DVD for skiers and snowboarders (£17.99, skilates.com).
Get experience If you can, visit one of the UK's real snow slopes, in Tamworth, Milton Keynes or Castleford, or find a dry slope closer to home. Go to snowboardclub.co.uk for listings.
Take lessons If you are learning in a foreign resort, establish that the instructor speaks good English and, if possible, have a private lesson or two. Learn To Ride Centres are available across Europe and North America. Go to burton.com for more information.
Resort finder If you're a beginner, pick a resort that isn't too steep: try Tignes, Meribel and Courchevel in France. The Great Skiing And Snowboarding Guide (Cadogan) or Where To Ski & Snowboard 2007 (NortonWood) offer detailed resort reports. Rude Chalets has an annual all-female Rudegirls week (rudechalets.com).
The gear
If you are a first-timer, hire the hardware first. As a general rule, a snowboard should be between shoulder and chin height, quite flexible and soft. It must also be wide enough for your toes not to overhang the edges. An entry-level board costs around £200. Try Snowboard Asylum (within Ellis Brigham stores or online at snowboard-asylum.com), Snow+Rock (snowandrock.com), Finches in south-east London (finches-ski.co.uk), SS20 in Oxford (ss20.com), Extreme Sports Ltd (08000 850436, extremesports.ltd.uk) or Bargain Boards (bargainboards.co.uk). Make sure boots fit snugly, that there aren't 'pressure points' and that your heels don't slide up and down. Instead of laces, Vans Omni Boa boots have a wire and push-button, so you can release in two seconds (£179.95).
You need a jacket and pants, warm layers, a hat and gloves; beginners may want to invest in a bum pad or 'crash pants'. Goggles are a must and a helmet is worth having; try Red or Pro-Tec.
The downsides
Everyone hates you A slight exaggeration, but you can get a pretty negative vibe from many skiers who feel they were there first and see snowboarders as intruders on the slopes.
Painful to master The fact that both feet are attached to a single platform means that falling is an inevitability in the early stages. Ouch!
Button lifts You may master the chairlift after a few tries, but the dreaded button lift is a nightmare to negotiate, even for experienced riders.
Wrist fractures Broken wrists are the most common snowboarding injury, according to research in the American Journal Of Sports Medicine, accounting for 21.6% of all snowboarding injuries.
The benefits
Increases aerobic and anaerobic fitness
Long hours on the mountain build good base endurance (a 12-stone man burns 1,600 calories in four hours), while short, intense bursts of effort build anaerobic fitness, according to the American Association of Snowboard Instructors.
Strengthens thighs
These are the real workhorses in snowboarding, because the knees are bent pretty much the whole time.
Improves balance
Snowboarders need a high level of balance in order to shift from edge to edge on ever-changing terrain, according to the National Strength And Conditioning Association.

Lewis Hamilton didn't get off to a good start in Formula One preseason trials Wednesday. Fox Sports reports, after a brake failure, the race car driver crashed his Mercedes into the wall.
Traveling at 170 miles per hour at the time of the collision, Hamilton was miraculously unhurt, climbing from the wrecked car and walking away. He's the second member of his team to go down in the trials. Teammate Nico Rosberg's car erupted in flames during a test run Tuesday, due to an electrical problem, and has yet to be repaired.
Mercedes tweeted that work continues on Hamilton's car, but in the meantime his replacement, Sergio Perez, has taken to the track.

A well functioning economy requires a stable banking system. Banking supervision is therefore responsible for monitoring credit institutions' business activity and maintaining investor confidence. In Germany, the task of banking supervision is shared by the Bundesbank and the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin). In particular, the Bundesbank is in charge of monitoring the credit institutions.
The Bundesbank is holding this year's Bundesbank symposium "Banking supervision in dialogue", on current banking supervision topics on 15 March 2017 at the Kongresshaus "Kap Europa" in Frankfurt am Main
At the Bundesbank's banking symposium Andreas Dombret has warned against the dangers of hastily implementing the European Commission's proposals to introduce a joint European deposit guarantee scheme.
Before the end of summer 2016, binding capital requirements based on the new SREP capital quantification methodology are to be imposed on a selection of around 330 institutions supervised directly by German supervisors.
Speaking at various occasions, members of the Bundesbank's Executive Board regularly comment on issues relating to banking supervision.
The Bundesbank and BaFin have jointly created a first draft of a new version of the MaRisk. The deadline for comments on the first draft is 7 April 2016 (extended to 27 April 2016). For more details on how to submit a comment, please consult the appended documents.
The consolidation process in the German banking sector continued last year. The total number of credit institutions as well as of their branches in Germany fell further.

The European Supervisor Education Initiative (ESE) is an alliance of central banks and supervisory authorities in Europe with the objective to qualify financial supervisors in Europe.
All member states of the EU are obliged to provide information about the national implementation of Basel II. Therefore the BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank have cooperatively launched a website.

It is only the second annual increase since furniture prices peaked in 1990 and the index is still more than 10 per cent below the top of the market before the recession.
But the index, which started in the first edition of the guide in 1967, has seen prices rise more than twentyfold in the last 20 years, fuelled by a combination of runaway inflation in the economy as a whole and the growing scarcity of genuine antique furniture - aggravated by the weakness of sterling, which has allowed foreign buyers to plunder the UK market.
The best investment over the past 20 years wold have been a Bergere library chair in mahogany with a wicker infill and cushion seat, which would have cost pounds 30 and now regularly sells for 100 times as much, according to Mr Andrews. The worst investment would have been a walnut veneered kneehole desk, which would have made pounds 875 then and perhaps pounds 5,000 now.
The current fashion is for antiques that have a practical use, like dining tables, bureaux and desks. Ostentation is out of fashion and antiques with little practical application, such as knife boxes and wine coolers, have fallen by as much as 20 per cent in three years.
Antique furniture is normally only a good investment if you buy well and keep it for at least five years because auctioneers' and dealers' margins alike now normally take about 30 per cent of the value of a transaction.
But the supply of antique furniture, not surprisingly, is drying up, according to the guide. Families that inherit antiques are more likely to hang on to them, and the export market has drawn heavily on stocks in the UK.
The number of antique dealers is falling, the survivors are reducing their display space, and the quality of furniture coming up at auction is dropping. Real incomes are starting to rise and the only thing helping to hold prices down is the low inflationary environment.
