Architecture Index

Are there any free web services/ widgets that provide live NSE/BSE stock quotes, Gold/Silver prices and ForEx rates to be displayed in a website that deals with Indian finance? I need daily BSE/NSE stock movements to be displayed on my website!

Yeah ac-markets news tool is very good and gives really cool updates, the thing is that it is only in the live platform, and some demo traders don’t even know they have it.
This is their news section on the web http://www.ac-markets.com/forex-news/daily-forex-news.aspx also very good tip

I am checking references on a residential architect. What specific questions should I ask the people to whom I speak?

1. How do they bill?
- is it hourly?
- is it based on the project cost as a %?
- is it a flat fee?

2. Who will be working on my project?
- one architect?
- several architects?
- experienced ones?
- project managers?
- drafters?

3. What is included in the price?
- designs?
- construction documents?
- construction administration?
- site visits?

4. What sort of issues came up on your project?
- plans drawn correctly the first time?
- clear communication with the contractors?
- were the correct materials used?

5. Did the price of the project fluctuate?

6. What accredidation does this architect have?
- are they a member of AIA?
- how much experience do they have?
- have they worked on many other projects similiar to yours?

7. Who is responsible for the subcontractors?
- do you have to find your own structural engineer / drywall hangers / painters?
- are their fees included in your quote?
- who makes sure they have up to date drawings / change orders?

8. How long did the project take?
- did it drag out over the specified time?

9. Were the people friendly and courteous?
- did they return phone calls promptly?
- did they explain any billing questions?

10. Ask the references if they considered any other architects. If they say "no" then they probably didn’t ask for references either and just used the 1st one in the phone book.

i would like one, there have been several times i’ve wanted to make something and it just wasnt the same because i had to substitue for having a food processor

do you have one?
how often do you use it?
what do you use it for?

I have a Cuisinart 7 cup type. Seldom use it any longer because we don’t have counter space for it, my husband does most of the cooking and we have limited appliance storage space in our kitchen. Some of our kitchen equipment are in the garage and others packed in an upstairs closet.

Use it about once a year now.

Used it mostly to make hummus, tabbouleh, broccoli salads and also to cut or chop nuts & vegetables for soups. Nuts for cookies. It does a super fast job (you don’t have that much control over the shape of the pieces as you would doing by hand. But it keeps the mess in one place

Pain in the neck: It’s a little inconvenient for me because I have to clean it with care (blade is very sharp) and try to completely dry the parts before putting it back on the shelf. I put a cotton cover over it to keep it clean and to allow any water not dried on the parts to evaporate.

Would like to use it to make dough — pie crust and bread especially.

If you have counter room for one and can easily afford it, YES, get one. It’s fun — especially if you like to cook or try to make different things in the kitchen. If you are still undecided, look on-line or in a book store for food processor recipes and techniques for processing various foods.

If you get a small one, BE CAREFUL TO FOLLOW USE INSTRUCTIONS. If it says to Pulse the food, Pulse the food. — And don’t run it continuously. The little motor on a handy little one that I had was burned-out by being run continuously to proess nuts.

Good early Christmas present for yourself.

How many missles can a modern jet fighter hold?
Which is the jet fighter that can hold the most?
I was wondering about this question somehow because of watching transformers Lawl?

Quote: "the new F-22 Raptor (not from transformers) can hold up to 16 sidewinders or 14 Sparows or 14 of AiM-9 Sidewinders and AiM-7 Sparows."

WOW! Someone has no idea what they’re talking about or maybe plays to many video games. Most modern fighters typically carry 6-8 missiles at the most. The F-22 is currently certified to carry 6 AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles and 2 AIM-9 Sidewinder’s. It does not currently carry any more missiles.

I am looking for a reliable school to enrol in a home interior design course. To study online a few hours a day and to finish the course in 1 to 1 1/2 years.

i would go to the local home improvement such as the home depot or Lowe’s and ask them because most have been where you want to go.

I’ve tried selling my anime’s before and they weren’t that good and now I’ve gotten alot better but I have no customers. How do I get people tp buy my art?

P.S. I’m trying to raise 300 dollars for an Ipod Touch so an estimated sales time would be nice. And if you could give an estimated price on the drawings that would be great. AND if you want to see the drawings all I need is your email address so I can attach the files. Thanks!
Also all the drawings are naruto or bleach related. Oh and if want to see the pictures you can just no buying. Sorry no internet buisnesses
Most of my anime is original for example I have a picture of Hollow Naruto and Kyubii Ichigo

sell a bunch of them to freinds, kids at school, and online.

I have to read a contemporary novel for school. Is the Godfather considered contemporary?

Yes, because it was written and takes place within the last century.

Yet in other steel frame buildings they have to spend months setting up explosive charges.

Why don’t demolition people just set fire to a building if that all it takes?
Thank you Michael but WTC7 did fall in it’s own footprint and was not hit by any plane. The damage caused by falling steel from the twin towers was not enough to bring it down. Other buildings closer had just as much damage.

Building 7 was the third skyscraper to be reduced to rubble on September 11, 2001. According to the government, fires, primarily, leveled this building, but fires have never before or since destroyed a steel skyscraper.

The team that investigated the collapse were kept away from the crime scene. By the time they published their inconclusive report in May, 2002, the evidence had been destroyed.

Why did the government rapidly recycle the steel from the largest and most mysterious engineering failure in world history, and why has the media remained silent?

The BBC and CNN also both reported the collapse of Building 7 more than twenty minutes before it actually fell. The misreporting not only stands out as a glaring error– with the WTC 7 building still visibly standing in the background of the shot, but begs the question: how did BBC, BBC 24 and CNN all know in advance that Building 7 would collapse, when no steel building has ever collapsed from fires alone?

I’m suppose to do some research of Gothic architects

But i dunno where to start

Give me some name and when were they around (if they’re dead)

That would be nice…Thanks

it is unfortunate that most of the Gothic architectures did not have known/proved architects to go along with.

http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/architecture/architects.html
this site provided some names that you can turn to.

if your research allowed you to write on the person who driven the design, then i would suggest you to work on Abbot Suger (1081-1155), who "designed" St. Denis around 1136-1140. this is the birth of the Gothic period.

if you are looking at Gothic revival, there are more names:
Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812 – 1852)
Sir Christopher Wren (1632 – 1723)
Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc (1814 – 1879)

good luck with your research

For my programming class, I’m suppose to look for a example of a site that uses java web services, Ive been trying to look for one but haven’t had any success.

If you have a PayPal account, they have a SOAP interface
If you have a google AdWord account, there is a SOAP interface
And I think Amazon has a few things you can fiddle around with via SOAP.

But I don’t know if any of those is *implemented* using Java web services. But the whole point (I thought) of Web Services is that it didn’t matter.

I just found this: http://code.google.com/apis/soapsearch/api_faq.html

Pretty telling , that google is no longer supporting their SOAP interface. But.. you didn’t want an argument between SOAP and REST, right?
