Summer and cookouts go together like Baby Ruths and swimming pools. Compact grills let you BBQ anywhere at a moment’s notice.
1. Big Green Egg (small)
The Egg lived up to its lofty rep: Our food came out flavorful and juicy—even veggie burgers! Unfortunately, at 65 pounds this charcoal burner weighs nearly as much as the other three grills combined. And the Egg’s brittle ceramic shell made us apprehensive about carrying it down steps, much less tossing it in the trunk. When we did take it on the road, we had to wait hours for the thing to cool down before lugging it home.
WIRED Can be configured for grilling, baking, smoking, or convection heating. Equally capable above 750° F or south of 250°.
TIRED Switching setups was tough to do while the coals were lit. 13-inch-diameter cooking area is the smallest of this batch. $500, biggreenegg.com
2. Solaire Everywhere
Equipped with its own shoulder bag and weighing in at just 15 pounds, the Solaire is as portable as a briefcase, and its infrared burner and stainless steel housing positively drip with geek cred. The grill was ready to cook in five minutes, and a maximum measured temperature of just over 700° F meant we were able to produce tempting grill marks and juicy insides. With such spunky burners and a lid that isn’t designed for flame-on use, though, slow cooking is sadly not an option.
WIRED Quick cleanup and cooling make it easy to head home.
TIRED Hard to throttle down the heat. Buy a few extra bottles of propane—this baby is thirsty. 155-inch cooking area is second-smallest in our test. $289, rasmussen.biz
3. Weber Q140
After we got over our prejudice against its electric heating element, we realized that the Q140 was a pretty effective cooker. Its heat-reflecting lining and oval shape direct BTUs at your grillables, and closed-lid cooking provided excellent results on fish and veggies. Keep the cover down, though: Even though you plug this 1,560-watter into a 120-volt outlet, it still struggles to reach 500° F. Serious searers should look elsewhere.
WIRED Never runs out of fuel (as long as you pay the electric bill). Optional fold-up stand leaves table space for food and eating.
TIRED Low top heat. No temperature gauge. Portability is limited to the length of your extension cord. $280, weber.com/
4. Char-Broil CB500X
The CB500X looks like a tough man’s treasure chest, with black metal construction, preseasoned cast-iron grate, and a front-side fire-pit door. But we struggled to achieve precision grilling: The charcoal burned too hot and fast, and the vents were too small to let us control the temperature effectively. On the plus side, it offered the largest cooking area in our roundup (24 x 10 inches) while still fitting nicely into the back of our Honda Civic.
WIRED Removable bottom for easy cleanup. Adjustable fire rack.
TIRED At 37 pounds, it approaches don’t-lift-with-your-back territory. Hot metal vent knobs inflicted the only burn of the test, and back flash singed arm hairs. $150, charbroil.com
Sure, summer’s here, but maybe you don’t like the outdoors. Maybe you burn easily. Still, you can bring a little of the outside in with a “flower” that drops more bass than a lowrider on La Brea &mdash Bang & Olufsen’s BeoLab 11 subwoofer. Nicknamed the Tulip, its distinct design is optimized for both a fresh look and stunning performance. Audio designers typically add ballast to their room shakers to kill sound-spoiling vibrations. Instead of piling on pounds, B&O set two 6.5-inch drivers across from one another. The sound waves they create push in opposite directions, preventing vibrations from propagating. At just 18 pounds, the 200-watt powered sub is light enough to mount on a wall. It’s also eerily still: Set a cocktail on top and the booze won’t even ripple. But don’t make a habit of it &mdash this flower doesn’t like to be watered.
Back when LPs were the state of the art, the Willys CJ3B was king of the trail. Unfortunately, its motor skills haven’t aged as well as its looks. So Icon Motors has produced an aesthetically faithful update. Did we say update? More like a total reengineering. The new steel body is protected by a Teflon polyester powdercoat; leaf springs are replaced by a fully independent suspension. The four-cylinder engine makes 205 horsepower but gets 23 mpg. The 4WD system is adapted from a 2010 Jeep. And while the original 3B topped out around 50 mph, we throttled the Icon down LA freeways at over 80. When we hit the Miller Jeep Trail, we switched into 4WD low and went way beyond our comfort zone without a hiccup.
WIRED ATV-narrow and insanely capable. Every light is LED—from dashboard to headlamps. Just try to scratch the paint—we drove through a big-ass thornbush and wiped away the evidence with a rag.
TIRED 83 grand. Just like on the original, high-beam switch is next to the clutch—easy to hit by accident. Shifter feels sloppy … er, retro.
Route 66 has the world’s largest ketchup bottle. Yay. Here’s a better ro ad trip idea: Leave the asphalt behind and visit someplace that’s not already on a postcard.
1. Outdoor Research DryComp Ridge Sack
WIRED Super lightweight and surprisingly strong. Shrugged off mud, water, rocks, and scrapey branches. This day pack even survived the ultimate test—being checked as airline baggage. Comfy straps.
TIRED Hip belt could use some padding. Still smells like our campfire, even after washing.
$119, outdoorresearch.com
2. ARB Fridge Freezer
WIRED It may be the size of your old Igloo, but this is no mere cooler; it’s a full-on fridge, complete with electronic thermostat. Runs off a 12-volt socket yet works as well as your kitchen model.
TIRED Costs almost as much as your kitchen model. Exposed cooling fins are easy to damage. Heavy.
$854, arbusa.com
3. Cobra CJIC 350 Power Pack
WIRED We brought it along for its air compressor—handy for tailoring tire firmness to terrain—but it does so much more. It’ll jump-start a V-8, power a flatscreen, or charge your iPod.
TIRED Jumper cables too short. Wimpy compressor takes forever. Three separate power switches?
$100, cobra.com
4. Garmin Oregon 550t Navigator
WIRED Because “Elvis Rock” (a) isn’t on any map and (b) might not look like Elvis when you’re sober, the 550t lets you take a geotagged photo that you can click on later to find your way back. 16 hours of battery life! Water- and shock-resistant.
TIRED Better off-road than on: Street maps cost $100, screen is too small, and instead of “Turn here,” it just says “beep.”
$600, garmin.com
5. Black Diamond Sprinter Headlamp
WIRED Small, bright, and rugged. Flashing red “follow me” light on back. Comes with a jillion different plugs for overseas charging.
TIRED No plug will help if you run out of juice in the middle of nowhere. Wiring-lined head strap chafes a sunburned brow.
$100, blackdiamondequipment.com
Share your playlist. Loudly. A new era of boom boxes is upon us, and they’ll have you jamming like it’s 1989.
1. Altec Lansing MIX
With easy-to-grasp handles and ridiculously powerful bass, the MIX was our choice for the new-millennium remake of Say Anything. Throw in eight D batteries and the MIX can travel with you to your neighbor’s house party or your crush’s window. A high-contrast digital display scrolls song titles and artist names—making it easy to send a message to that special someone.
WIRED Two auxiliary inputs and a designated dock let you connect three devices at once for the Longest. Playlist. Ever. Front handles for easy military-pressing.
TIRED Not beachworthy; too many nooks and crannies to catch the sand. A bit deep for shoulder wielding or shallow shelving.
$300, alteclansing.com
2. Lasonic i931 iPod Ghetto Blaster
Oh, nostalgia. Lasonic’s aptly named Ghetto Blaster would be at home on the shoulder of someone wearing Skidz and blasting Kool Moe Dee. This gigantic relic of a bygone era even has a faux tape deck that conceals an iPod dock. But though your jams might be rocking, the sound will disappoint. Chalk it up to true 1980s fidelity—audio quality and all.
WIRED Quite the head-turner. Preprogrammed sound settings for different types of music means it’s time to bus’ out the Mozart, yo!
TIRED Tape deck dock doesn’t support iPhone or iPod touch, and it’s hard to get your ‘Pod situated. Ten D batteries?! Only spacecraft should need that much power.
$139, lasonicstore.com
3. DeWalt DC012
Power tools and crashing metal can’t silence the DC012. Neither can short drops, rain, spilled coffee, sawdust, or other job-site hazards. Volume is not an issue, but clarity is: This rugged sound blaster is as sturdy as Andrè9 the Giant, and cranked up to the limit, it might level a city block. Too bad the sound quality is lacking.
WIRED Power cord stows on a bottomside spool. Also works as a charger for DeWalt power tool batteries. Three outlets on the side—this is the rockinest powerstrip ever. Weatherized construction makes this our beach blaster of choice.
TIRED A little bulky and awkward for residential use. Charges your drill but not your iPhone. Runs on proprietary batteries only.
$170, dewalt.com
4. Memorex miniMove
A boom box shaped like a purse? Of course! As long as you’re comfortable in your masculinity, the easy-to-tote design does make the miniMove ideal for traveling and picnics. And once you get to your destination, you can stash this girlie embarrassment in the shade and control your tunes with the included remote. But don’t stray too far—this mini can’t get as loud as its larger competitors, and sound suffers at higher volumes anyway.
WIRED Available in six colors, and fortunately, one of them is black. Squishy buttons are fun to push. Fifty bones = bargain alert.
TIRED Tiny speakers produce tinny sound. Radio antenna sticks out awkwardly from the side.
$50, memorex.com
A mirror will tell you how you look, but it won’t tell you what’s going on under your skin. These gadgets will help you monitor your inner health, so the contents match the wrapper.
1. Garmin Forerunner 110
The newest Forerunner is small enough to fit under the cuff of a dress shirt and yet it still talks to satellites. It’s also a great example of a company listening to its customers: Garmin users have been clamoring for a less expensive watch that records where they go and how fast they get there. The 110 does just that.
WIRED Small, affordable, accurate. Lets you use Garmin’s Connect Web site, where you can save and track all your workouts.
TIRED Clip-on USB adapter can be flaky. Getting a lock on the satellites can take a minute or two, so leave time to do some quality stretching before you take off.
$250, garmin.com
2. Zeo Personal Sleep Coach
Strap on the headband before you nod off and in the morning you’ll have a quantified picture of your night’s sleep. Zeo takes an EEG of your nappytime brain waves, so it knows how you doze. And it goes deeper too: By identifying “sleep stealers,” the device helps you find out how, for example, the light from your TV increases the time it takes to fall asleep.
WIRED Opt for detailed information or a single number—your “ZQ”—that measures quality of slumber. Can use your brain signals to determine the best time to wake you up.
TIRED You might sleep better without a transmitter strapped to your head. No wireless uploading.
$249, myzeo.com
3. Tanita BC-350
Your scale only measures your weight? Please. The BC-350 not only tracks your pounds but measures body fat, bone mass, metabolic age, and hydration level. Using a mild electric current (too small to feel), the scale measures the impedance of your body to analyze the nitty-gritty details.
WIRED If you can read standing up, you can use this thing. Allows multiple profiles, so you can see how you stack up against friends and family (eek).
TIRED No way to store data, so get comfy with Excel if you want to track your stats. Don’t expect any advice, either: Though it serves up lots of info, the scale offers no action plan or system for setting goals.
$270, tanita.com
4. GoWear Fit
Who knew so many sensors could fit into a single armband? The GoWearFit packs an accelerometer, a temperature monitor, and a galvanic skin detector. These three electronic superheroes join forces to provide an insanely accurate accounting of how many calories you burn in a given day.
WIRED Fits unobtrusively under clothes. Data uploads to an easy-to-navigate Web site.
TIRED Not waterproof, so it can’t crunch how many calories you burn in the pool (or the shower). Elastic armband gets a little ripe, snuggled up next to your armpit and all. Ugly display sold separately. The Web site has only basic goal setting, like “I want to get more active.”
$190,bodymedia.com
5. Philips DirectLife
Toss the DirectLife in your pocket or dangle it around your neck and its accelerometers keep tabs on how much you move. USB-sync it with a Web site account to track activity levels, identify trends, and set fitness goals. Wow, that was easy.
WIRED Online training coaches are just an email away; their periodic friendly reminders help you stay focused.
TIRED Do you really burn the same number of calories lifting weights as you do sitting on the sofa? (No.) There’s no display except some LED dots that show how much of your daily goal you’ve accomplished. No wireless data transfer. $12.50 monthly fee. Boo.

I want my XHTML/CSS into Joomla template.
Write the program in Java (with a graphical user interface) so that it will allow the user to select which way they want to calculate a mortgage: by input of the amount of the mortgage, the term of the mortgage, and the interest rate of the mortgage payment or by input of the amount of a mortgage and then select from a menu of mortgage loans:
– 7 year at 5.35%
– 15 year at 5.5 %
– 30 year at 5.75%
In either case, display the mortgage payment amount and then, list the loan balance and interest paid for each payment over the term of the loan. Allow the user to loop back and enter a new amount and make a new selection, or quit. Insert comments in the program to document the program.
The attachment is what I have been struggling with using NetBeans 6.8. I would to have a quote by ASAP.
Thank you in advance.

I have a form (attached) with some fields in it that I need to auto populate using search results from the CA DMV website at: https://mv.dmv.ca.gov/olinq2/search.do
It works like this: The user clicks ‘Perform DMV Search’ (line 190), and a search window comes up. This is where the search is performed. The user provides the Occupational License Number (OLN), clicks search, and the number is used in a query on https://mv.dmv.ca.gov/olinq2/search.do. use an OLN number of ‘E2890’ to test.
The address, city, state, zip, license number are pulled from the results and placed in the following fields in the html form. Each field has a unique name.
(search result type = input field name)
name = ‘businessName’
address = ‘streetAddress’
city = ‘city’
state = ‘state’
zip = ‘zip’
phone number = ‘daytimePhone’
license number = ‘oln’
contact person = ‘contactName’
If no results are found, then the text ‘No Matches were found’ is printed next to the ‘search’ button in the popup window.
