The wiring inside a dwelling that you cannot see may be an arc fault waiting to happen, due to improper installation; corrosion; damage caused by rodents, insects, or other pests; penetration by screws or nails after construction; or other problems. The arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) helps prevent an arcing fault from becoming a fire. Unlike the ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), the AFCI doesn't provide personnel protection from electrical shocks, but it is designed to monitor a circuit for electrical current waveform characteristics that indicate an arcing fault.
AFCIs installed after Jan. 1, 2008, are required to be of the combination type, which includes technology to expand protection against parallel arcing faults as well as series arcing faults. AFCI devices used prior to 2008 were of the branch/feeder type, which offered less protection against parallel arcing faults.
The NEC requires AFCI protection in:
- Dwellings. These are single, two-family, and multi-family residences.
Lodging units. Guest rooms or suites with permanent provisions for cooking are included in the definition of dwelling units and must have branch circuits installed to meet the rules for dwelling units [210.18].
AFCI protection is required only for 15A or 20A, 120V branch circuits in dwelling units supplying:
- Outlets in "living spaces," including bedrooms, family rooms, dining rooms, living rooms, dens, closets, hallways, or similar rooms.
- Smoke alarms in 210.12(A) locations. The exemption from AFCI protection for the fire alarm circuit of 760.41(B) and 760.121(B) doesn't apply to the smoke alarm circuits typically installed in dwelling units. Section 210.12(A), Ex 3 makes it clear that the exception is only for an individual branch circuit to a fire alarm system.
You can omit AFCI protection, where:
- A listed conduit or tubing is encased in at least 2 in. of concrete for the portion of the circuit between the branch circuit overcurrent device and the first outlet. An outlet branch circuit type AFCI at the first outlet can provide protection for the remaining portion of the circuit.
- An individual branch circuit serves a fire alarm system per 760.41(B) and 760.121(B), if the circuit conductors are in RMC, IMC, EMT, or steel sheath Type AC or MC cable that qualifies as an equipment grounding conductor per 250.118, with metal outlet and junction boxes.
You can install an outlet branch circuit type AFCI as the first outlet in a branch circuit to protect downstream wiring and receptacles if:
- Circuit conductors are in RMC, IMC, EMT, or Type MC or steel armored Type AC cable meeting the requirements of 250.118 up to the first outlet, and
- Metal outlet or junction boxes are installed up to and including the first outlet.
Branch circuit ratings
Branch circuit conductors must have an ampacity of at least 125% of the continuous loads, plus 100% of the noncontinuous loads [210.19(A)(1)]. This is based on the ampacities listed in Table 310.15(B)(16), before any ampacity adjustment or correction. When sizing conductors, also remember to select and coordinate conductors so that you do not exceed the lowest temperature rating of any termination or device connected to that circuit [110.14(C)].
All branch conductors must have an ampacity sufficient for the loads served. In addition:
- Branch circuits supplying more than one receptacle must have an ampacity at least that of the rating of the circuit overcurrent device [210.3 and 210.19(A)(2)].
- Branch circuit conductors that supply household ranges, wall-mounted ovens, or counter-mounted cooking units must have an ampacity at least that of the rating of the branch circuit and at least that of the maximum load to be served. For ranges of 8¾kW or more rating, the minimum branch circuit ampere rating is 40A [210.19(A)(3)].
Conductors tapped from a 50A branch circuit for electric ranges, wall-mounted electric ovens, and counter-mounted electric cooking units must have an ampacity of at least 20A and be sufficient for the load [210.19(A)(3) Ex 2].
Other than tap conductors, all branch circuit conductors must be at least 14 AWG and have sufficient ampacity for the load [210.19(A)(4)]. Tap conductors must have an ampacity of at least 15A for circuits rated less than 40A and at least 20A for circuits rated at 40A or 50A for:
- Luminaires having tap conductors sized per 410.117 [210.19(A)(4)(b)].
- Individual outlets, other than receptacle outlets, with taps up to 18 in. long [210.19(A)(4)(c)].
Overcurrent protection
Branch circuit overcurrent devices must have a rating of at least 125% of the continuous loads, plus 100% of the noncontinuous loads [210.20(A)]. However, if the assembly and the overcurrent devices are both listed for operation at 100% of their rating, the branch circuit overcurrent device could be sized at 100% of the continuous load [210.20(A) Ex]. Overcurrent protection devices are not commonly available with a listing for use at 100% of their rating.
Protect branch circuit conductors against overcurrent in accordance with 240.4, and provide overcurrent protection for equipment based on the individual articles listed in 240.3 and Table 240.3.
Outlet device rating
Lampholders connected to a branch circuit rated more than 20A must be of the heavy-duty type [210.21(A)]. A single receptacle must have an ampere rating of not less than the overcurrent device protecting the branch circuit [210.21(B)(1)].
If connected to a branch circuit that supplies two or more receptacles or outlets:
- The total cord- and plug-connected load must not exceed 80% of the receptacle rating [210.21(B)(2)].
- Receptacles must have an ampere rating per the values listed in Table 210.21(B)(3), as shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 1. Refer to Table 210.21(B)(3) for guidance on ampere ratings for receptacles.
An individual branch circuit can supply any load for which it's rated, but the load can't exceed the branch circuit ampere rating [210.23].
Branch circuits rated 15A or 20A supplying two or more outlets or receptacles must supply loads per 210.23(A) through (D) and 210.24 [210.23].
Cord- and plug-connected equipment not fastened in place, such as a table saw, must not have an ampere rating more than 80% of the branch circuit rating [210.23(A)(1)].
Equipment fastened in place, other than luminaires, must not be rated more than 50% of the branch circuit ampere rating if this circuit also supplies luminaires, receptacle outlets, or both [210.23(A)(2)], as shown in Fig. 2.
Fig. 2. Equipment fastened in place must not be rated more than 50% of the branch circuit rating if thgis circuit supplies luminaires, other receptacles, or both.
Dwelling unit receptacles
In two-family and multi-family dwellings, dwelling unit branch circuits can supply only loads within that dwelling unit or associated with it. Branch circuits installed for public or common areas of a two-family or multifamily dwelling or multi-occupancy building can't originate from equipment that supplies an individual dwelling unit or tenant space [210.25(A) and (B)].
The two or more 20A, 120V small-appliance branch circuits serving the kitchen, dining room, and similar areas [210.11(C)(1)] must serve all wall, floor and countertop receptacles [210.52(B)(1) and (2)] and the receptacle for refrigeration equipment.
These circuits cannot supply the outlets for luminaires or appliances, but exceptions to this section allow the small appliance circuits to serve clocks and gas-fired ranges, ovens, or counter-mounted cooking units [210.52(B)(2)]. You can supply the refrigeration equipment receptacle from an individual branch circuit rated 15A or greater [210.52(B)(1) Ex 2].
Kitchen countertop receptacles, as required by 210.52(C), must be supplied by at least two 20A, 120V small-appliance branch circuits [210.11(C)(1)]. Either or both can supply receptacle outlets in the same kitchen and in other rooms allowed to be served by the small appliance branch circuits [210.52(B)(1)].
The requirements for the small appliance branch circuits and the receptacle outlets supplied by them must be followed carefully. While drawing out your circuit plan, review it against 210.52(A), (B), and (C) and Figure 210.52 in the NEC.
Bathroom receptacles must be GFCI-protected [210.8(A)(1)]. In bathrooms, install at least one 15A or 20A, 125V receptacle within 3 ft of the outside edge of each basin [210.52(D)]. Locate it on a wall or partition adjacent to the basin counter surface or on the side or face of the basin cabinet not more than 12 in. below the countertop. Receptacle outlet assemblies listed for this specific use may be installed in the countertop [210.52(D)], as shown in Fig. 3.
Fig. 3. Per 210.52(D), receptacle outlet assemblies listed for this specifric use may be installed in the countertop.
For one- and two-family dwellings, install a minimum of two GFCI-protected 15A or 20A, 125V receptacles (one in front, one in back) so they are accessible while standing at grade level and no more than 6½ ft above grade [210.52(E)(1)]. For multifamily dwellings, each unit located at grade level and provided with individual exterior entrances must have at least one receptacle outlet accessible from grade level and not more than 6½ ft above grade.
In all dwelling units, install at least one 15A or 20A, 125V receptacle:
- Within the perimeter and not more than 6½ ft above the surface of any balcony, deck, or porch that is accessible from the inside of the dwelling unit [210.52(E)(3)]. Remember that GFCI protection is required for all 15A and 20A, 125V receptacle outlets installed outdoors at dwellings [210.8(A)(3)].
- In the laundry area [210.52(F)]. Remember that GFCI protection is required for any 15A or 20A 125V receptacle within 6 ft of a sink, in dwellings, except the kitchen which has its own rules [210.8(A)(7)].
- In each basement, garage, or accessory building with electric power (in addition to receptacles for specific equipment) [210.52(G)], as shown in Fig. 4.
- In each hallway that's at least 10 ft long, measured along the centerline, without passing through a doorway [210.52(H)].
- In foyers greater than 60 sq ft, if not part of a hallway, each unbroken wall space greater than 3 ft must have at least one receptacle installed in it [210.52(I)].
Fig. 4. In a one-family dwelling, at least one 15A or 20A, 125V GFCI-protected receptacle outlet is required in each garage, basement, and accessory building supplied by power.
The requirements of 210.52(A) and (D) also apply to occupancies such as hotel guest rooms and dormitory sleeping rooms. All of the rules of 210.52 apply to guest rooms or guest suites that include cooking provisions [210.60].
Lighting outlets
For dwelling units, make sure you install wall switch-controlled lighting outlets in these locations [210.70]:
- Habitable rooms
- Bathrooms
- Hallways
- Stairways
- Attached garages
- Detached garages with electric power
- Entrances/exits to the outdoors with grade-level access
- Storage spaces (switch is allowed to be contained in the lighting outlet)
- Spaces containing equipment requiring servicing (switch is allowed to be contained in the lighting outlet).
For guest rooms or suites, install at least one wall switch-controlled lighting outlet in every habitable room and bathroom [210.70(B).
Install at least one switchable lighting outlet in any attic or underfloor space containing equipment that requires servicing. The switch must be at the usual point of entry; the lighting outlet must be at or near the equipment [210.70(A)(3)].
Although the requirements for branch circuits are more detailed than what we've explained in this two-part article, you should have a good understanding of the details, enabling you to more easily apply these rules.
SIDEBAR: What's a Wall Space?
When it comes to receptacle placement, the most common source of confusion is exactly how do we define a wall space? According to 210.52(A)(2), a wall space is:
- Any space 2 ft or more in width, unbroken along the floor line by doorways, fireplaces, or fixed cabinets.
- The space occupied by fixed panels in exterior walls.
- The space occupied by fixed room dividers, such as freestanding bar-type counters.

User services and
EO Help Desk
Several thousand users and organisations worldwide look to ESRIN to supply the data they need to carry out their work. Among these organisations are: the United Nations, the European Commission, NGOs, universities, research institutes, local authorities and commercial entities.
ESRIN acts as a central access point for users of Earth Observation data for many different missions. It also provides access to a complicated distributed ground segment. For ESA satellites ESRIN offers a complete end-to-end service. For Third Party Missions the service ESA can provide depends on the agreement made with the agency responsible for the satellite.
User Services ensures a user-friendly interface between the satellite system and users. This entails catering for users' needs in terms of information and products, and translating those needs into system operating plans and product orders. An estimated 58,000 products are ordered each year by around 8500 users.
Potential users with a new scientific project for which they require data first have to obtain approval for the project to ensure that the research complies with ESA policy. Once approved, the project is registered and assistance is given to obtain the data needed. Data required for research purposes are freely available with a small fee to cover reproduction costs. For commercial and operational purposes, data can be obtained from a network of distributors.
Services provided to users include:
- the EO Help Desk
- mission planning and production
- systems maintenance
- on-line information services:
- description of data products,
- information on ESA and all other Earth Observation missions
- access to data and catalogues
- remote sensing library
- software tools
User services also assist with mission planning. Based on orders and requests from users they decide how best to task the Earth Observation satellite to provide the requested data. Once the data are available, they are sent either via the internet or by CD or DVD.
Help Desk
Information on the data products and how to access them are available online on the Earth Observation Earthnet on line website. In addition, the EO Help Desk is available as a first point of call for those who want to acquire data, have problems accessing data or have new ideas for the use of data.
Members of the Help Desk team help users understand the various data sets available, how to obtain them, and can provide pointers to many other related information, for example the software tools to process them..

Taken singly, it's easy to research versions and compatibility. Version information is readily available on each single part of a platform stack, such as MySQL. You can find out the latest version, stable version, and sometimes even the percentage of people adopting it by version (personally, I like seeing numbers on adoption rates).
However, when trying to find the best possible mix of versions, I have a harder time. For example, "if you're using MySQL 5.5, you'll need PHP version XX or higher."
It gets even more difficult to mitigate when you throw higher level platforms into the mix such as Drupal, Joomla, etc.
I do consider "wizard" like installers to be beneficial, such as the Bitnami installers. However, I always wonder if those solutions cater more to the least common denominator -- be all to many -- and as such, I think I'd be better to install things on my own. Such solutions do seem kind of slow to adopt new versions, slower than necessary, I suspect.
Is there a website or tool that consolidates versioning data in order to help a webmaster choose which versions to deploy or which upgrades to install, in consideration of all the other parts of the stack?

I have a new shop! Buy all my latest books here!
Yes, I'm afraid it's true: I'm putting Beaver and Steve on the dreaded 'indefinite hiatus'. I've been incredibly lucky and managed to get someone to pay me to draw a new comic, but I've realised that working a full time job, then coming home and working another full time job doesn't really leave me with much time to spend thinking up unfeasible new adventures. So rather than let the comic get gradually less and less funny I'm going to put it on hold until I have the time to give the comic the attention it needs, however long that takes. Sorry everyone! But don't feel too bad - here's a few ideas to take the sting out of it: 1) MAKE SURE YOU DON'T MISS BEAVER AND STEVE WHEN IT COMES BACK:

Nippon Ichi is giving Disgaea fans even more hot Prinny action on the go, announcing that a port of the PlayStation 2 game Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories will get a PSP port next year.
Just like the PlayStation Portable port of the original Disgaea: Hour of Darkness — which shrunk down in the form of Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness — next year's portable version of Disgaea 2 will come with fresh content in the form of new battles and new characters. We're guessing they'll also come up with a snazzy new subtitle, especially if NIS America opts to localise it.
The official street date is March 26, 2009 for the Japanese version. No word yet on a Western translation, but we have our fingers crossed.

Investors looking to secure stock market profits may be tweaking an existing strategy or looking to devise a brand new one. As the stock market keeps charging higher, investors will have to figure out how they want to play the next few months. Identifying market tops and possible correction levels may be very tricky. With the markets trading at current levels, the situation for the average investor may be widely varied. Some investors will be trading with a shorter-term plan, while others may be focused on a longer-term investment time frame. There are many financial professionals who are predicting a sharp reversal in the stock market, but there are also those who believe that the upswing will keep pushing stocks higher over the coming months. Investors will need to decide for themselves which way they think the momentum is going to swing and prepare accordingly.
FCF Yield 5yr Avg
The FCF Yield 5yr Average is calculated by taking the five year average free cash flow of a company, and dividing it by the current enterprise value. Enterprise Value is calculated by taking the market capitalization plus debt, minority interest and preferred shares, minus total cash and cash equivalents. The average FCF of a company is determined by looking at the cash generated by operations of the company. The Free Cash Flow Yield 5 Year Average of Grubhub Inc. (NYSE:GRUB) is 0.015808.
Technicals & Ratios
The EBITDA Yield is a great way to determine a company's profitability. This number is calculated by dividing a company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization by the company's enterprise value. Enterprise Value is calculated by taking the market capitalization plus debt, minority interest and preferred shares, minus total cash and cash equivalents. The EBITDA Yield for Grubhub Inc. (NYSE:GRUB) is 0.022550.
The Earnings to Price yield of Grubhub Inc. (NYSE:GRUB) is 0.001015. This is calculated by taking the earnings per share and dividing it by the last closing share price. This is one of the most popular methods investors use to evaluate a company's financial performance. Earnings Yield is calculated by taking the operating income or earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and dividing it by the Enterprise Value of the company. The Earnings Yield for Grubhub Inc. (NYSE:GRUB) is 0.005603.
Earnings Yield helps investors measure the return on investment for a given company. Similarly, the Earnings Yield Five Year Average is the five year average operating income or EBIT divided by the current enterprise value. The Earnings Yield Five Year average for Grubhub Inc. is 0.014117.
Q.i. Value
The Q.i. Value of Grubhub Inc. (NYSE:GRUB) is 52.00000. The Q.i. Value is another helpful tool in determining if a company is undervalued or not. The Q.i. Value is calculated using the following ratios: EBITDA Yield, Earnings Yield, FCF Yield, and Liquidity. The lower the Q.i. value, the more undervalued the company is thought to be.
Quant Scores
The M-Score, conceived by accounting professor Messod Beneish, is a model for detecting whether a company has manipulated their earnings numbers or not. Grubhub Inc. (NYSE:GRUB) has an M-Score of -2.878666. The M-Score is based on 8 different variables: Days' sales in receivables index, Gross Margin Index, Asset Quality Index, Sales Growth Index, Depreciation Index, Sales, General and Administrative expenses Index, Leverage Index and Total Accruals to Total Assets. A score higher than -1.78 is an indicator that the company might be manipulating their numbers.
The Value Composite One (VC1) is a method that investors use to determine a company's value. The VC1 of Grubhub Inc. (NYSE:GRUB) is 61. A company with a value of 0 is thought to be an undervalued company, while a company with a value of 100 is considered an overvalued company. The VC1 is calculated using the price to book value, price to sales, EBITDA to EV, price to cash flow, and price to earnings. Similarly, the Value Composite Two (VC2) is calculated with the same ratios, but adds the Shareholder Yield. The Value Composite Two of Grubhub Inc. (NYSE:GRUB) is 66.
Investors may be interested in viewing the Gross Margin score on shares of Grubhub Inc. (NYSE:GRUB). The name currently has a score of 32.00000. This score is derived from the Gross Margin (Marx) stability and growth over the previous eight years. The Gross Margin score lands on a scale from 1 to 100 where a score of 1 would be considered positive, and a score of 100 would be seen as negative.
At the time of writing, Grubhub Inc. (NYSE:GRUB) has a Piotroski F-Score of 4. The F-Score may help discover companies with strengthening balance sheets. The score may also be used to spot the weak performers. Joseph Piotroski developed the F-Score which employs nine different variables based on the company financial statement. A single point is assigned to each test that a stock passes. Typically, a stock scoring an 8 or 9 would be seen as strong. On the other end, a stock with a score from 0-2 would be viewed as weak.
Investors often have a large selection of stocks to research when looking to add to the portfolio. Investors have the ability to employ many different strategies to help beat the stock market. In the end, the main goal is typically to maximize profits while minimizing risk. Investors commonly strive to diversify the portfolio in order to minimize risk. Most serious investors are well aware of the risks when entering the equity market. Investors may choose to own stocks across multiple industries to keep from having all the eggs in one basket. Others may choose companies of different size, and even delve into foreign markets. Finding those hidden gems in the stock market may not be the easiest of chores. Investors may have to spend many hours doing the research and crunching the numbers.

text: The Boulevard CS (now replaced by the Britax Boulevard 70 CS, please see our review of the similar Advocate 70 here) is the latest convertible seat from Britax and touts "True Side Impact Protection" along with the new "Click & Safe" feature. This new innovation gives a loud click and tactile feedback when the caregiver has adjusted the harness strap system correctly. This model can be used rear-facing for children 5 to 35 pounds, and front-facing for children above 1 year old and from 20 to 65 pounds. The maximum standing height limit is 49 inches. On their website, Britax lists seated shoulder height limits of 10.5″ to 16″ while rear-facing and 12″-16″ front-facing. While similar to the Britax Marathon, the Boulevard CS also adds the innovative harness height adjustment system found in the standard Boulevard and Diplomat models. This allows parents to change the harness height to fit their child using a knob, even without removing the seat from the vehicle. I reviewed a pre-production model a while back, but was very excited to see a box of a production model in my foyer when I returned from a recent vacation!

I get it.
I understand Obamacare is a total crock.
I know it's going to make our current health care system even more expensive, more complicated, more irrational and more socialized than it already is.
I know it's something that needs to be repealed, delayed, defunded, shredded, stomped or killed forever by any legislative means necessary.
But if I were Ted Cruz, or anyone else who is willing to shut down the government to deny funding for Obamacare, I wouldn't use the issue of raising the debt ceiling to get the American people engaged.
I'd use an issue that every American can relate to and should be outraged about -- the failure of the United States Senate to pass a budget since 2007.
It's hard to believe, but America hasn't had a budget since Obama took over the White House and Harry Reid took over the Senate.
Why aren't Republicans using this ongoing travesty as a weapon in their seemingly hopeless congressional fight to defund Obamacare?
Every American understands what a budget is. Every family has to have one. Why not the country? It's a constitutional issue, yet no one cares.
Instead of a federal budget, what we've been getting under the Reid/Obama regime for five years has been a series of continuing resolutions to fund our bloated government.
Passing continuing resolutions is the coward's way out, and if we're short of anything in Washington it's not political cowards.
Congress loves passing continuing resolutions, which don't have their names attached to them, because that's where they can all hide their favorite pork-barrel projects.
Meanwh ile the country goes further and further and further into debt and no one makes a peep in D.C. Not the Democrats or the Republicans. Certainly not the liberal mainstream media.
The big argument now is over raising the debt ceiling. The average American doesn't care if the federal debt ceiling goes up another few hundred billion.
I don't either. And I don't care if the United States government goes bankrupt for a few months.
It's no big deal in the long run. Congress will just pass another continuing resolution to fund government.
Then, two months later, when the debt ceiling is raised by Congress, as it always is, everyone who's owed money by the federal government will be paid retroactively and it will be business as usual until the next debt "crisis."
It's a cynical game played with the people's money and everyone, Democrats and Republicans, play it. Meanwhile, we go further and further into debt.
It's time for their dirty game to end. It's time for the American people -- and Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and anyone else in the GOP who has the courage to raise their voices -- to get outraged and start screaming at Obama, Reid and the rest of Congress to pass a budget.
They aren't screaming, but I will: "Pass a budget, you bums. Either pass a darn budget or get the hell out of Washington."

Brazilian GP 2010
Friday Team Quotes
Lewis Hamilton (4th, 1:12.656): "The car felt good today - I'm getting everything out of it - but I still felt it needs just a little more downforce. Still, I'm optimistic for qualifying tomorrow - especially if it rains, which I'm told it probably will. This year's car is much better than last year's car in the wet, so I feel confident that if it rains we should be able to fight for the front row. In terms of pure pace in the dry, the Red Bull looks very quick. But a number of factors will play a part in deciding how things pan out in the next two grands prix - weather, engines, reliability - so it's all still up for grabs."
Jenson Button (7th, 1:13.206): "We spent today playing about with the balance. The car feels good in high-speed corners, but we still need to work on the front end of the car in low-speed corners. Towards the end of today's running, on higher fuel, the car felt pretty good, which was encouraging. The weather forecast says it looks like rain tomorrow, so it'll be interesting to see how that affects qualifying. I think our race car should be good - and that's important because Sunday should be dry. Hopefully, our race set-up won't be too compromised by the anticipated wet conditions in qualifying tomorrow."
Martin Whitmarsh, Team Principal: "Today was an extremely busy day of testing for us as we gathered data on a number of new components, including floor modifications and a selection of rear wings. Both drivers reported that the car wasn't as well-balanced as they'd ideally like, but we feel we have enough data to be able to effect some very positive changes ahead of running tomorrow. Neither Jenson nor Lewis was able to set optimal lap times during their Option-tyre runs, owing to a yellow flag adversely affecting their running. However, our long-run pace looks particularly encouraging and is a very good basis for Sunday's race. In the meantime, the weather forecasters are predicting an 80 per cent chance of rain tomorrow - and that will inevitably have some influence over some of the decisions we take this evening - but we believe we're heading in the right direction for the rest of the weekend."
Mercedes GP
Nico Rosberg (9th, 1:13.333): "We made some good set-up changes and definitely learned a lot over the two sessions today. As a result, I'm confident that we can nail the set-up if it is dry tomorrow. However if the predicted rain arrives, then I will look forward to it even more as we should be a little stronger if it is wet and have a better chance of being further up the field."
Michael Schumacher (10th, 1:13.346): "We had two trouble free practice sessions today and were able to complete a lot of work with the car. I would have wished and expected for us to be closer to the top teams but unfortunately the gap seems to be a little bigger than at the last races. The track itself has improved a lot since I last raced here and the bumps are not really a problem anymore. All in all, we have to see what we can improve for qualifying tomorrow and we will have a deep look into our data now."
Ross Brawn, Team Principal: "Although we had a more challenging Friday than at recent race weekends, it was a useful day to achieve our set-up work in anticipation of a dry race on Sunday. So far we haven't achieved the level of performance that we would like but we have collected good information to work through tonight. The weather always seems to play its part in Brazil and if the rain arrives tomorrow, the conditions may benefit us."
Norbert Haug, Mercedes Motorsport Director: "Today we did not quite achieve the level of performance that we have shown at the last couple of races however we are not too far off. Our high fuel runs looked reasonable but the single lap performance can be improved further before qualifying. The weather forecast predicts heavy rain for tomorrow so we may see a different order in such conditions. So far, the team, Nico and Michael have always performed quite well in wet conditions."
Red Bull-Renault
Sebastian Vettel (1st, 1:11.968): "I think it was pretty good today - of course it's not the most important thing to be at the top of the timing list today, it's more important tomorrow and Sunday - but it's a good start. The car feels alright, I'm not one hundred percent happy with the balance and think we can improve it, but it's looking okay. I think it's likely to rain tomorrow."
Mark Webber (2nd, 1:12.072): "It was a good Friday and we got through everything we wanted. Obviously the track was in a good condition from the outset, so we were able to get down to work. Conditions were good and we made the most of it. We're not too sure what will happen weather-wise, but we're pretty quick and the car works well in all conditions, so we should be set for a good result."
Fernando Alonso (3rd, 1:12.328): "As usual, it is very difficult to draw any conclusions after Friday's two free practice sessions. In fact, the Red Bulls have always been dominant in the last six or seven Fridays, therefore there were no surprises today. Even when we have managed to take pole, they have been very competitive the previous day. For us, it will be important to stay ahead of the McLarens and the other teams, who on this track could be in the mix: by that I mean Renault, Williams and Mercedes. Then, the forecast is for rain tomorrow and anything could happen. It will be vital to understand when and on what tyres to go out on track to set a time. We have introduced a few updates on the car which seems to be a positive step, even if we still need to analyse the data in depth. The engine change between the two sessions was already on the day's programme therefore, in reality I only lost a couple of laps, nothing more."
Felipe Massa (5th, 1:12.677): "I ran wide at Turn 2 and went over the kerb quite heavily: I immediately noticed that the clutch had disengaged and I was unable to select any gear to try and get back to the pits. Nothing like that has ever happened to me before: it was only when the car was brought back to the garage that we discovered it was an electrical problem. It was a shame, because I was on my first run with the soft tyres and I had yet to fully understand how they were working. Overall, I feel we can be competitive this weekend. Sure, the Red Bulls are very strong, as are the McLarens. It is meant to rain tomorrow and, on a wet track, anything could happen. I don't expect any special problems with the tyres as their behaviour seems to match our expectations. It's true I did not do a long run on the softs, but the initial impression is that they are also consistent. The Brazilian crowd is incredible, singing and dancing all day long! They are very passionate about Formula 1 and for a driver who is from here, it is a great pleasure to race in front of these fans: it gives you an extra motivation to give your all to make them happy."
Stefano Domenicali, Team Principal: "I would say there is nothing new under the sun, even here in Brazil. The pecking order seems to be the one we have seen throughout this part of the season, with Red Bull definitely having a slight edge, especially on the first lap. However, tomorrow the forecast is for rain, therefore qualifying will be even more difficult and factors other than the pure pace of the vehicle and the driver's performance will also come into consideration. More than ever, it will be important to keep a cool head and concentrate, in order to manage the various situations that could arise as well as possible."
Chris Dyer: "It was a reasonably average sort of day, apart from the two little problems we had, first on Fernando's car and then on Felipe's. The engine on car 8 had reached the end of its life, so we lost practically nothing, while Felipe's had a problem linked to the electrics in the switch which controls the neutral finder that disengaged the clutch . In terms of performance, today we tried some aerodynamic updates: the first indications are positive and we are thinking of also using them on Saturday and Sunday. On the first flying lap, the situation is not bad, but we definitely have to improve if we want to be in the fight for pole position. Having said that, we are expecting a wet qualifying tomorrow: an opportunity to make up some places on the grid, but at the same time, a risk of losing an equal number. We have seen that on a long run, the car handles very well., but we know how important is the grid position in terms of the outcome of the race."
Rubens Barrichello (11th, 1:13.520): "Today went ok. We worked through everything we needed to and tried out various combinations. We need to make some improvements and get everything working for tomorrow as I don't think the car was any faster in the afternoon's session. Typically for Brazil, it's looking like it could be wet tomorrow so we have to prepare for that."
Nico Hulkenberg (13th, 1:13.725): "It looks very competitive out there this weekend so I think it could be quite a difficult task to get into the top ten tomorrow. Personally, I didn't get a very clear run on the option on low fuel today but everything else went well. We still have to improve the car ahead of qualifying so we have work to do."
Patrick Head, Director of Engineering: "That was a normal Friday; we ran through a number of options, some of which proved beneficial for us. Nico did a good long run on tanks so we're happy we've done our homework. I understand it could be wet tomorrow so that could make things interesting for everyone."
Robert Kubica (6th, 1:12.882): "Our position looked pretty good in both sessions today but we know from experience that Friday can be misleading, so we need to be cautious. The main target overnight will be to improve the balance of the car because it was not ideal today - I was struggling with inconsistency and low grip. None of the changes we made really allowed us to make a big step forward, so we need to work hard this evening to make progress. Although the circuit was quite slippery early on, the grip levels picked up quite quickly, so we had a consistent basis for our testing."
Vitaly Petrov (15th, 1:13.818): "We lost quite a lot of time this morning after my accident, and that obviously had a knock-on effect this afternoon as well. It's been a difficult day for me, but I have enjoyed driving this circuit, which gives the driver quite a lot of challenges. We need to work hard tonight to ensure that we can make up for the problems we had today."
Alan Permane, Chief Race Engineer: "It was actually a bit of a frustrating day, and we struggled to find a car balance that Robert was happy with. He suffered from inconsistency, probably owing to the low-grip surface here, and we will work tonight to improve that and make the car easier to drive. Vitaly endured a very tricky day. A problem with the rear wing caused him to crash during this morning's session, and the mechanics did a good job to get him out in good time in the second session. But he was always playing catch-up after that, and never really got comfortable with the car balance. We've still got a lot of work to do tonight, to improve both cars and get to where we want to be. What's more, the weather forecast indicates that we'll probably have rain all day tomorrow. That will be an added challenge - but, as always, could also give us the opportunity to spring a surprise."
Force India-Mercedes
Adrian Sutil (14th, 1:13.741): "Today was a reasonable start to the weekend with no major problems and some solid running in both sessions. We ran through our usual programme of long and shorter runs and tyre work and got lots of information to work on tonight. Unusually for here the surface was quite grippy, even in the morning, so we didn't need to wait for it to rubber in to get the tyre comparison data. We also had some new items to test and the car felt consistent and balanced, even if there wasn't such a huge improvement in time, maybe half a tenth or so. Let's see what we can do tomorrow: the weather conditions for qualifying look to be a bit mixed so it could be an opportunity to show well."
Vitantonio Liuzzi (16th, 1:14.045): "Overall it went pretty well today over the two sessions. We still need to understand a bit more about the set-up as this is a difficult track to get right with the long straights and then the twisty middle section - you need to get the right compromise between the downforce levels. We also had an issue with the switchable rear wing in the morning but we sorted it for the afternoon. We could go some way into understanding the tyre performance but we've got a bit of work to do on the balance to get everything right, although on the positive side we know there's still more to come from us."
Dominic Harlow, Chief Race Engineer: "A trouble free day for both cars, well executed programmes and good quality data. We've a few decisions to take overnight with respect to set up and some of the aero changes we evaluated today. The rest of the weekend will be tactically an interesting challenge for us with compromises for qualifying and the race to be weighed up."
Toro Rosso-Ferrari
Sebastien Buemi (17th, 1:14.304): "The day went quite smoothly, apart from a problem with the brakes at the start of the afternoon session. When you brake at the end of the straight and the pedal goes long, it's not a nice feeling so I came straight back to the pits. Well done to the team for fixing the problem so quickly. After that I was able to finish my programme, getting a good read on the tyres over the long run with both the Option and the Prime tyres. They say it will rain tomorrow, which means it will be a completely different story. We now need to look for ways in which we can improve for tomorrow."
Jaime Alguersuari (18th, 1:14.578): "This was a difficult day in which I struggled with understeer and oversteer and currently we don't look very competitive in the dry, so we must see what we can do to improve as I was not so happy with the balance of the car. But things could be better for us if the rain comes tomorrow as predicted. As for the incident with Schumacher, I had spun at the previous corner and so he came alongside me on the outside going into Turn 1. I tried to keep my inside line as he came round but all the same we touched."
Laurent Mekies, Chief Engineer: "We completed our programmes with both cars, making up for lost time after we had a brake system issue on Sebastien's car this afternoon. We tried a lot of different things across both cars, with Sebastien much happier with the balance than Jaime. Now we must look at the data from both cars and take the best elements from each of them to move forward tomorrow. However, we have to bear in mind that we are heading for a wet Qualifying and any decisions we reach regarding set-up has to take this into consideration, allowing for the fact it should be dry again on Sunday."
Jarno Trulli (19th, 1:14.984): "That was a pretty good day. It's good to complete so many laps and have no problems at all. When the car feels well balanced, like it did today, you can push around the whole lap and end up where we did, ahead of the other new guys. I have to say this is one of my favourite tracks. It's very technical and I think it suits my style well. We've made a few changes to the setup for this weekend and that's given me more confidence in the car - I think you can see the results of that in my laptimes, and I think there's more to come tomorrow."
Heikki Kovalainen (20th, 1:15.101): "It was a good day for us. It started well, with the confirmation of the Renault engines next year, and then on track we got through the whole programme with no problems. The car felt good on both types of tyres and with the different fuel loads and when you compare our times with our direct competitors I think we're looking very strong. I really like this circuit - it's been evolving all day and it's a good challenge to find the right setup to cope with the high speed and the low speed sections. When you have a good day like we have had today it's a very rewarding circuit to drive."
Dieter Gass, Sporting Director: "We are all pleased with the performance of both cars today. There is obviously more work to do tonight, and I think there is still more to come from the cars, but the real variable will be the weather tomorrow. The forecasts are looking very interesting and it will be a good challenge for the drivers, the mechanics and the engineers to capitalise on any opportunities that arise on track tomorrow."
Mike Gascoyne, Technical Director: "It was a very successful day for us, perhaps one of the best Fridays of the year. Both cars ran without any problems and the performance looks good on the short and the long runs. We ended up exactly where we wanted to be, and we are maybe looking slightly more competitive with the midfield than we have been. On the whole this was a very good Friday."
Bruno Senna (22nd, 1:16.070): "I was very excited and happy today to race at home and on this new track for me. It was a good day and I could do many laps. We worked very hard to find more performance from the car and learnt a lot. In the second session, we managed to find a better compromise. We will see what happens tomorrow, as it looks as if it's going to rain and I am looking forward to be in front of my home crowd again."
Christian Klien (23rd, 1:16.082): "The first day started off very well for us and I felt comfortable as soon as I jumped into the car. We could already work on the set-up for the race. Unfortunately, I had to stop before the end of the first session because the second gear was broken. We lost one run with this but in the afternoon, the car was fixed again and I could do some long runs. I am very happy to be back in the car and to complete a full race weekend again after Singapore."
Colin Kolles, Team Principal: "It was an efficient first day in Brazil. We completed 128 laps in total and both drivers got used to the track during the day. In the morning, the second gear on Christian Klien's car broke before the end of the session but the mechanics could fix the problem for the second practice. Other than in Singapore, Christian felt comfortable in the car from the beginning and could adjust the car to his driving style. Bruno Senna showed a solid performance in front of his home crowd. We could close the gap to the other new teams and even end up in front of one of them."
BMW Sauber-Ferrari
Nick Heidfeld (8th, 1:13.222): "I am quite satisfied because I didn't expect us to be that strong here, and the lap time isn't on the edge yet. The long runs were even better than eighth fastest. I feel here I made a step forward with the set up of the car."
Kamui Kobayashi (12th, 1:13.610): "I think our general performance is quite good, but I'm not yet happy with my car. We have to find the right balance, as it is too understeery. Also I expected a bit more grip from the option tyres. At least the puncture at the end of the first session didn't cost track time, and we have completed our programme as planned."
James Key, Technical Director: "We had no development items to test, so it was just a case of setting up the car for both drivers. The track's grip came in quickly this morning, and was already quite consistent in free practice 1. We scanned the downforce levels, and we are happy with what we have now established. In the afternoon we evaluated the tyres. It looks like we have to work a little bit on the prime tyres to fully understand how they are behaving when warming up, and then also with longevity. The option tyres seem to be fairly consistent, and both drivers did a better lap time on them. Nick seems to be reasonably happy with the car. Kamui's got a few more balance issues that we will work on overnight. Overall it was a useful day."
Lucas di Grassi (21st, 1:15.433): "Today was my first time ever driving the Interlagos circuit in a Formula One car. It is just an amazing feeling to be racing in my home town and I'm very excited about the whole weekend. Today was a good start; although I missed the first session I was still able to get up to speed quite quickly. I think we made all the right setup changes, so I'm feeling competitive this weekend and of course I have that little extra motivation that a home race brings."
Timo Glock (24th, 1:16.150): "Today was a bit of a strange day. We had a good first session but the second free practice wasn't very helpful. The Prime tyre was working well but we didn't do so well on the Options. After trying the Option tyre we made some setup changes and I'm confident that we have a good direction for tomorrow. After that we will see what the weather brings and what opportunities we can create for ourselves."
Jerome D'Ambrosio: "Today was my final free practice session with the team before I take part in the young driver test in Abu Dhabi in two weeks' time. It was good to finish my fourth session on a positive note and generally I am very happy with my performance. I have learned a great deal and I look forward to bringing all of that experience together in the test. Today was a constructive day for me; we did a lot of laps and some good setup work to make sure we have a good basis for the weekend. I think we can make good progress so I wish the team some good luck for the race."
John Booth, Team Principal: "A good day for the number 25 car with Jerome putting in another polished performance and then Lucas quickly getting up to speed in the second free practice on a circuit that surprisingly he is not that familiar with. Both drivers worked well with their engineers to tune the setup and the car ran perfectly all day. Timo's day was less smooth; he experienced a few electrical gremlins in the morning and struggled to get the best out of the Option tyres in the afternoon. However, by the end of the day he had found a better direction on a dry setup while keeping one eye on the wet weather forecast for tomorrow."

At first glance, Shaker boxes feel as serene as Brancusi's Sleeping Muse. But stacked together, the colorful bentwood boxes buzz, exuding a jumpy vitality more than 200 years after crafty members of the celibate sect first painted them. The eye-popping pigment is a visual treat for design devotees who see the divine in spare Shaker style.
Leslie and Leigh Keno's first encounter with these storage boxes took place at the Shaker Museum's annual antiques fair in Old Chatham, New York. It was more than 35 years ago, but Leslie still recalls the sense (and scents!) of excitement when he lifted the lid: "I clearly remember the wonderful aroma—a blend of spices and aged wood. The construction is so perfect that it creates a suction when you lift the lid. It's almost airtight." The teenage dealer soon learned that the tight-fitting lid and subsequent "suction" was one way to authenticate a Shaker-made box.
Twin Leigh chimes in: "We used to joke that these boxes were early Tupperware for Shakers. And this was our kind of Tupperware."

Here, Leslie (left) and Leigh Keno lift the lid to inspect a Shaker bentwood box. The oval boxes held everything, from dried herbs and spices to thread and buttons. "About the only thing they didn't hold was liquid," says Leigh.
The graduated boxes were stored, also like Tupperware, one inside another. In Leigh's Manhattan shop, the brothers pull apart a set of boxes like Russian matryoshka dolls. They see beauty in the exposed joinery ("swallowtail fingers") and absence of curlicue decoration. Neither can resist the Gothic arch-shaped pattern formed by the fingers, which are reminiscent of iron strap hinges. "An incredible amount of craftsmanship went into carving each joint," says Leigh.
The Shakers, however, probably hid the joints from view. "In order to read the inscriptions on some of the boxes, the side with the fingers faced the back," explains Connecticut dealer David Schorsch, one of the country's leading Shaker specialists. "The fingers were designed to help keep the wood from cracking," he adds.
The Shakers, a religious sect, left England in 1774, when Mother Ann Lee and eight followers moved to New England to devote themselves to work and prayer. While they didn't invent the oval box, crafty Shakers refined the form, with arch-shaped joints, rust-free copper tacks, and nearly airtight lids.
Collectors covet specific boxes based on color, condition, and size, not age. Vibrant lemon-yellow trumps other colors, and buyers pay a premium for original untouched paint. ("You can almost see through the brush strokes," says Schorsch.) Some of the smallest boxes fetch the largest prices. "Almost all boxes fall within the standard range—3-5⁄8 inches long up to 15 inches," he explains. "If a box is larger or smaller, it's a very big deal." Schorsch once purchased a tiny yellow box ("small enough to balance on one finger," recalls Leigh) for $25,300. It's now on display at Manhattan's American Folk Art Museum.
This green box, made by Father Job Bishop (1760-1831), a leader in the Canterbury Shaker community in New Hampshire, has a paper label describing what the box once held: "Spools of winding silk."
Vibrant color adds value. Most prized: lemon yellow, lipstick red, Prussian blue, and emerald green. Most common: plain maple, unpainted.
Thinking outside the box the monogram indicates which way the box was meant to face. The swallowtail-finger side was considered the back of the box.
Antiques addicts on a budget scope out boxes made by the Hersey family, who settled in Hingham, Masssachusetts, in the 17th century. The boxes, recognized by their opposing fingers and mistakenly referred to as Harvard Shaker boxes, offer the best bang for the buck, says Schorsch. Shown here is a nest of four miniature oval boxes that fit in the palm of a hand. The opposing fingers point to maker Samuel Hersey (1783–1876). The largest box is labeled with the maker's name.
For promising new vintages, tap into the Hancock Shaker Village Web site (hancockshakervillage.org), where you can scoop up a six-stack of delicious cherry boxes for $350.
Shown here is a plain box.
Color: unpainted maple
Tacks: brass (some missing)
Size: 3 1⁄2 inches long

Blogging Drought: Book Project
Three and a half months without an update. It's a wonder why you guys are still visiting. Thanks for that.
Here's the reason for the lack of posts: I'm going to publish one particular category of the blog as book. A hint: it's the category which's suddenly missing almost all of its posts.
The book will be in Bahasa Indonesia. Of course, it'll be more than just a translation of the stuff. Expect lots of revamps; more action (in more ways than one); and more silly commentaries disguised as dialogs. (Wow. More hints!)
I'm also thinking of adding illustrations and stuff. Stay tuned!

Bust comes as bill is introduced to legalize medical use of the drug in Florida
Four days after lobbying Tallahassee lawmakers to legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes, an activist couple were busted by police for growing pot at their home in Parrish.
Manatee County deputies uprooted two full-grown backyard marijuana plants belonging to wheelchair-bound Cathy Jordan, who suffers from Lou Gehrig's disease, and disabled Vietnam veteran Robert Jordan. Although neither was arrested Monday, officers confiscated 21 seedlings that the Jordans insist were intended to stabilize her neurodegenerative disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS.
"They explained to me that they had no choice because it's the law," Robert said Wednesday. "Well, guess what? I've got no choice in the matter, too. We're going head-to-head now and one of us is going to fall. And if it's me, somebody else is going to step up.
"They've come and taken away the medicine that's been keeping my wife alive for 20 years," he said. "I'm not going to let my wife die, and anybody who loves somebody would do the same thing."
Just last week, the Jordans met with legislative Democrats, who agreed to back a 138-page bill called the Cathy Jordan Medical Cannabis Act. Sponsored by Rep. Katie Edwards, D-Plantation, and Sen. Jeff Clemens, D-Lake Worth, this marks the first time in at least 30 years that a bill to legalize the drug has been filed in Florida. If the measure is passed, Florida will become the 19th state and the first in the South to sanction marijuana for medical reasons.
Found to have ALS in 1986, and given a five-year survival window by doctors, Cathy Jordan began smoking marijuana in 1989 and says it has succeeded where prescription drugs have not.
But the Jordans' elation over their symbolic victory in Tallahassee began to fade on Monday, when a housing inspector reported them to police.
According to the sheriff's report, Sonya Leigh Johnson was assessing the vacant home next door when she noticed an extension cord running from an open window toward the Jordans' home. She peeked through the backyard fence, saw the plants, took photos and reported the scene to the Sheriff's Office.
Uniformed deputies showed up at the Jordans' home Monday afternoon, followed by three undercover detectives, two wearing ski masks. John Jordan, their 43-year-old son, said that utility service at the home next door was in the Jordans' name because the Jordans were planning to close on the house purchase this week.
"We had no idea about their involvement in the medical marijuana bill," said sheriff's spokesman Dave Bristow. "The only reason we responded was because somebody complained."
No one was arrested because "there was some question as to ownership of the marijuana plants."
"I think they were embarrassed," said Cathy Jordan, director of the Florida Cannabis Action Network. "I don't think they wanted to put a 62-year-old woman in a wheelchair with Lou Gehrig's disease in jail."
The Sarasota State Attorney's Office declined to comment on whether it will file charges.
"Is this really the best use of our law enforcement's time?" asked Clemens, the Democrat sponsoring the proposed legislation. "I think the public would be much better served by changing the law to allow our police to concentrate on violent criminals, not senior citizens in wheelchairs."
Changing times
Sponsoring a pot legalization bill under any circumstances was once seen as political suicide in Florida.
The legislation is unlikely to pass this year, co-sponsor Edwards concedes, but she predicted "that this is going to happen in the next four to five years in Florida and I would rather be in front on this issue than behind it."
Edwards and other supporters point to a poll released this week, commissioned by People United for Medical Marijuana-Florida, that showed 70 percent of voters sampled supported legalization for medical reasons. The poll of 600 registered voters across the state was evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats.
"Perceptions are changing. It's time to have an adult conversation about this in Florida," said Edwards, who met Cathy Jordan for the first time last week.
"You look in the eyes of this incredibly feeble woman and you cannot help but have compassion for her," Edwards said. "She would gladly give up marijuana if she could get out of her wheelchair and be free of Lou Gehrig's disease. But she is suffering and this gives her some relief. How is Cathy Jordan using marijuana any threat to me?"
Ben Pollara, a spokesman for People United for Medical Marijuana-Florida, called it "grotesque" that seriously ill Floridians who use marijuana should be subject to police raids.
"If anything," Pollara said, "this will steel support because people understand how wrong it is that people like Cathy Jordan have to go through something like this when they are suffering so much already," Pollara said.
Edwards acknowledged that current laws put police in difficult positions and that her bill will allow authorities to focus more resources on threats that really matter to Floridians.
Pollara said he has little confidence that the Republican-dominated Legislature will pass the Jordan bill. Instead, his organization is pushing an alternative route — gathering signatures to put the question on a constitutional ballot. The group is still a long way off. It says it has gathered 100,000, but needs to have 676,811 validated by Feb. 1, 2014, to place the question on next year's ballot. Even if it gets that far, it would require 60 percent of Florida voters to approve it.
But Pollara, who has worked for 10 years on political campaigns, including Hillary Rodham Clinton's in Florida, said the poll was a game-changer because it shows national and state donors that there is popular support in Florida for medical marijuana.
Edwards said the state also has economic reasons for passing the Jordan act.
States such as Colorado could generate millions in tax revenue from pot. It could also be a boon for Florida farmers, she said.

Saami Mittens with Beth Brown-ReinselLearn the special details of mitten construction of the nomadic Saami peoples, by knitting a mitten in multiple colors circularly on double-pointed needles. Make a three-color braided cast-on, create the classic afterthought thumb (without a gusset), work different bands of patterning, and finish off the mitten with pointed tip shaping. Working with three yarns in a round will be discussed as some of the motifs require this skill. A simple finger braiding technique will be demonstrated for the traditional cord.
SuppliesFor an Adult Sized Pair: 2 oz each of 4 colors of #4 (worsted-weight) yarn (traditional colors are white, red, yellow, and green or blue); one set of double -pointed needles 4.0 or 4.5mm/US size 6 or 7, tapestry needle, stitch markers, sticky notes or magnetic board for reading the chart.

Bankrupt NJ Housewife Teresa Giudice Explains How She Blew $11 Million & Insists Her Home Isn't In Foreclosure!
Teresa finally opens up on her lavish spending, including her $10,000 shopping sprees and over the top wedding! Luckily, she just asked Bravo for a 200% raise to hopefully keep her and her daughters in heels!
Teresa Giudice is finally breaking her silence about how she and husband Joe managed to find themselves $11 million in debt — and of course taking none of the blame! Teresa told In Touch that her bankruptcy is the result of tenants not paying rent on her husband's investment properties, before she goes on to say about her wedding, "my flowers cost $10,000, which was a lot of money 10 years ago." Hmmm.
Teresa's wedding dress was also $10,000, as was her wedding photographer. How does one even go about finding a $10,000 wedding photographer in the state of New Jersey?!
Teresa was not the only clothes horse in the family either, with Joe himself being an admitted shoe fetishist. "I had all these $150 pairs, and I never wore half of them," said the gentleman famous for doing shots at friends houses after getting into car accidents in the early morning hours.
The Giudices have a plan however — they are making their daughters wear hand-me-downs! No word if Teresa herself would be curbing her clothing budget.
Teresa also continues to say it is her husband's investment properties and not their home or shore house that is in foreclosure. "We haven't lost anything yet," she proudly proclaims.
She is also attempting to supplement the family income by asking Bravo for a 200% raise as well a percentage of DVD sales according to TMZ. Guess those Skinny Italian sales aren't what she had hoped.
Teresa also has an amazing new plan that should definitely be the answer to all the family problems, "I want to save more."

Fribourg fondue: moitié-moitié
Half Gruyère cheese, half Vacherin – that's how you make a Fribourg fondue, Switzerland's favourite. Exactly why this warm "cheese soup" became our national dish is unclear. Perhaps it is down to symbolism: just as the country comprises four languages and cultures, a fondue also brings together various elements that make a greater whole. A fondue is shared democratically, and enjoyed with (plenty of) drink, laughter and chat.

PASADENA, CA. - January 7, 2013 - CNBC today unveiled the network's primetime rebrand, CNBC Prime, which will debut March 5. The rebrand includes a new look, a new attitude, a new reality and a new logo that embodies the shift in primetime programming. By day, CNBC is the recognized world leader in business news providing real time market coverage and financial information. The inherent conflict of buy and sell and fear and greed that plays out on the air every day moves to the evening with colorful characters involved in gripping, emotional storylines that live in a world of ambition, achievement, affluence and consequences. By night, CNBC Prime is an entertainment network with a programming slate that is an extension of CNBC's distinct brand.
"It's an exciting time at CNBC," said Hoffman. "We are capitalizing on the success of our network. We're no longer about bulls and bears when we are off the clock. The theme of money threads through everything we do, but the programming equity in primetime lies in the stories and characters themselves."
Building on the momentum of CNBC Prime, the network also announced today it has greenlit two additional series. FAMILY BUSINESS PROJECT (working title) from Embassy Row and executive produced by Michael Davies, gives owners of small family businesses a chance at a game-changing big money prize. Family businesses may be the backbone of our economy and given these tough times, many of them are struggling to stay afloat. Each week, "Family Business Project" will feature three family businesses that are desperate for cash. They will compete in hopes of winning a substantial dollar prize that may save their businesses from shutting its doors. While the families will make their case to a panel of judges, the real power lies in the hands of the audience who will ultimately make the call and decide which family business is most deserving of the investment.
THE BIG FIX (working title), from THE Company and executive produced by Justin W. Hochberg and Charlie Ebersol, follows Marcus Lemonis, self-made master of business turnarounds with a portfolio of over 100 successful companies. Marcus is doing something no one has ever done before. He's putting over $2 million of his own money where his big mouth is in order to turn around failing companies all across America. Marcus will make you an offer you can't refuse. And once he's inside your business, he'll do anything and everything to turn your business around. Even if it means firing the president, promoting your secretary or doing the work himself. If you have a business that's in trouble and think your management team can survive America's turnaround king, then you're ready for "The Big Fix."
These projects are part of the network's ongoing strategy to explore new formats in primetime. Both series will premiere in the spring.
The announcements were made today by Mark Hoffman, CNBC President and CEO, and Jim Ackerman, CNBC's SVP of Primetime Alternative Programming.
"In prime, we're taking a more personal look at business and money," said Ackerman. "That backdrop encompasses all the elements of great story. These are shows that speak to the American Dream. It's about ambitions and second chances; failure and success."
The network has already announced two series set to premiere on Tuesday, March 5, "Treasure Detectives" at 9pm ET/PT and "The Car Chasers" at 10pm ET/PT. These are the first new series to kick off CNBC Prime.

Gap Pay Raise Follows Rand Not Obama
Clothing retailer Gap Inc. has won praise from the White House in announcing its decision to raise entry-level wages to $9 an hour this year, and $10 next year. President Obama applauded Gap and argued that Congress should follow suit by passing a bill to increase the federal minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10 by 2016.
But there's a big difference between a voluntary increase in a market-determined wage rate and a government-mandated minimum wage.
Gap must report to shareholders and make a profit to stay in business; politicians report to voters and must win elections to stay in office. Polls show that the American public strongly support a higher federal minimum wage — but only if it appears to be costless.
President Obama, in promoting a higher minimum wage, argues that it would "lift wages for more than 16 million workers—all without requiring a single dollar in new taxes or spending." This is the free lunch that politicians love to promise—and it is an illusion.
When the government arbitrarily pushes up wage rates above the competitive level, two things happen: some jobs are lost; and more workers look for jobs but can't find them, so unemployment of lower-skilled workers increases. These effects are greater in the long run as employers switch to labor-saving technology.
When firms make adjustments in expectation of higher minimum wages (both federal and state), there will be a decrease in the number of jobs for lower-skilled workers (mostly younger, inexperienced, less-educated workers) but an increase in the demand for higher-productivity, skilled workers who complement the new technology.
Gap has already made significant investments in labor-saving technology and recently implemented a "reserve-in-store" computer program that relies on higher-skilled workers whom Gap invests in to enhance their human capital. Gone are the days when high-school dropouts could easily get a job with retailers. As Gap raises its starting wage, there will be more competition for a dwindling number of jobs. More workers will want a job, but fewer workers will be hired, and those that are will be of higher quality.
Glenn K. Murphy, Gap's CEO, told the company's employers upon announcing the change in policy, "To us, this is not a political issue. Our decision to invest in front-line employees will directly support our business, and is one that we expect to deliver a return many times over."
This is free-market, Randian thinking: self-interest is the motivating factor, not altruism.
When President Obama says, "It's time to pass [the minimum wage] bill and give America a raise," he is making a promise that can't be kept: some workers will gain (those who have higher productivity) but others (the least productive workers who most need a job to gain experience and move up the income ladder) will lose.
Indeed, the Congressional Budget Office now tells us that an increase in the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour could cost a loss of 500,000 jobs. Those most affected would be low-productivity workers in low-income families—making them poorer, not richer. (If the government promises a wage of $10.10 an hour but a worker loses her job or can't find one, then her income is zero.) There is no free lunch!
People do what is in their own best interest. Gap may win some friends by increasing entry-level wages and saying this is in tune with company "values," but unless that business decision is profitable Gap will lose sales, and its shares will drop in value. There is thus a market test of the decision to raise wages.
The government has no business telling private employers what to pay or telling workers they cannot offer their labor services at less than the legal minimum wage, even if they are willing to do so to retain or get a job. The President's minimum wage is anti-economic freedom and violates personal freedom; Gap's higher entry wage does neither. This is a case of "the emperor has no clothes!"

This is an issue very close to my heart. I would like to help raise funds and awareness so that nobody feels like there is no one there for them......there is always someone there to help, you just need to be given the right guidance and support. I would like to acknowledge the awesomeness of all the people in the world who keep going, despite how tough their life is. I am also doing this in memory of a very close friend, Mark, who sadly passed away at a very young age, because there just wasn't the support that he needed available - despite the best efforts of those closest to him. I spoke to Mark almost everyday yet was still not able to help him in the way that he needed. Through tragedy there is hope, and I hope that no one ever has to go through what my friend went through.There is ALWAYS a light at the end of the tunnel - no matter how faint or pointless it may seem. Please support this worthy cause. I developed a serious heart condition whilst setting up this page at the end of May 2012 - so i wouldlike to extend my fundrasier to include raising awareness and finds for the British heart Foundation
Sane is an awesome charity that represents, helps and supports many awesome people. In recognition of this awesomeness please forward this page onto your family and friends, join in at work - or just read and think "wow how awesome" thanks :) xxx "

"At Patachou" it saw the start of many artists like Jacques Brel and Georges Brassens with which she performed "Maman, Papa," a duet. Hugues Aufray and Michel Sardou also performed in this nightclub of the popular song, which was closed in the '70s.

First job which helps a lot is to clean the underside of your vehicle especially around each of the body mount points.
Next go around and make a note of any parts that might not accept the lift and those that you think should be ok
The top radiator hose and the two pipes for the heater matrix will usually accept a 2" lift, however anything bigger and you'll have to lengthen the heater matrix hose. Over a 2" lift if you drop the radiator then the top hose will not need extending, but it will if you use an electric fan, the bottom hose might need shortening as well.
The fan and bottom radiator outlet are very often close to each other but often there is just enough room to allow a 2" lift, but anything bigger and you'll either have to drop the radiator or fit an electric fan
All the brake pipes/lines on most 4x4s usually have a coil as they go from body to chassis just needing teasing out, and will accommodate lifts up to 115mm at least
On lift kits over 2"
Any hoses that run from the body to the engine or chassis are likely to have to be lengthened, examples are: on the power steering running from the cooler to the steering box, the air intake hose, the vacuum hose from the vacuum pump to the servo, the hose to the clutch slave cylinder (on manuals) and also the fuel tank filler and breather hoses, also back there the fuel lines are sometimes bolted to the body as are the mudflaps.
The earth bonding between the chassis and the body may have to be lengthened. Finally the steering should adjust with out a problem for the kits we sell unless the kit has been described as needing a steering extension.
The fitting of the the kit is quite easy the tools you will require are as follows:
Lefthand picture shows a mounting point from underneath, while the righthand picture shows a typical access point inside the cab/body.
It is probably best to find each mounting point underneath first and then trace it upwards to find the access point inside the vehicle body.
Undo all the bolts and fittings that will not adjust to the lift (see previous section), then undo all the body mount bolts - do not remove bolts at this stage.
Now you are ready for lifting the body, do one side at a time! Position the jack under the step in the floor of the body (just in front of the rear wheel arch) place your piece of wood between the jack and the body and take the weight of the body off the body mounts. Now remove the bolts on the side you are working on and carefully jack the body up until you reach the correct height to insert the spacers, carefully teasing out the coil on the brake line(s) as you go. Insert the new bolts (some may have to go up through the mounts - this does not matter as the new nuts are nylocs). Lower the jack so the weight is taken on the bodymounts and new spacers. put the new nuts on the bolts but do not tighten.
Repeat for the other side then tighten all the bolts. Now is the time to go around and check all the points listed in the previous section and make sure they are still intact or to lengthen the necessary hoses.
To fit the transfer lever extension remove the knob screw the extension to the transfer lever and replace the knob.
