In the aftermath of Hurricane Iselle's destruction in the Puna District of the Big Island, five libraries in the region will provide Wi-Fi service that will be accessible 24/7 until electrical power is restored in the area, announced State Librarian Richard Burns. The five libraries will maintain their normal public service hours.
The libraries – Keaau Public & School Library, Mt. View Public & School Library, Pahoa Public & School Library, Pahala Public & School Library, and Naalehu Public Library – will offer after hours Wi-Fi access as far as the signal extends beyond the perimeter of the buildings. Wi-Fi users are advised to connect to the HSPLS-Iselle Network. Visit the Library or our HSPLS website: www.librarieshawaii.org for more information.
"In an effort to provide access to the resources our Puna neighbors need at this critical time, we are extending the hours of our free Wi-Fi service so they can access the Internet for information, communication, recovery resources and other necessities," said Burns.

A Musical Mother
A young woman recently moved into the studio apartment next door, which shares a wall with our bedroom and bathroom. Her mother has been staying with her for the last few weeks, and every day, from 6 a.m. until midnight, she practices singing Chinese opera in the apartment. My partner and I tried to bring up the issue with the daughter, but the mother, who does not speak English, always answers the door. We do not want to report her to management, but is there anything else we can do to quiet her daylong arias?
Upper West Side, Manhattan
I enjoy a good aria as much as the next person, but I can understand why you might not want to live next door to an endless one. Your instincts for dealing with this are right: Approach the soprano's daughter first.
A face-to-face chat "stands the greatest chance of resolving the situation quickly, cheaply and effectively," said David E. Frazer, a Manhattan lawyer who represents tenants.
Try to catch her at home, or leave a note under her door. Politely request that she pay you a visit. When you finally meet, welcome her to the building. (A plate of cookies or a bottle of wine could help break the ice.) Explain that her mother's musical ambitions are impossible to ignore. She might not even know about them. Request that her mother lower the volume and limit her practice hours. You might also be able to find out how much longer she plans to stay — for all you know, this is a limited engagement.
"This is probably not a case of anyone doing anything malicious," said Brad Heckman, the chief executive of the New York Peace Institute, a mediation service that provides translators in 150 languages. "The neighbor's mother may have no clue that she's disturbing the folks next door."
If the arias continue at full volume, you might have to inform building management. A call from management could put an end to the singing, assuming the property manager takes action. You could sue the neighbor for creating a private nuisance, but that's "a very expensive, lengthy and unpleasant process," Mr. Frazer said. A lawsuit would certainly alienate your neighbor, and if the judge did not rule in your favor, it would not drop the curtain on the opera.
Hiring the Super
When the superintendent of my co-op told me I needed plumbing work done to install a new dishwasher, he offered to do the work himself. I agreed to his price without obtaining other bids. I worried that I would offend him if I got an estimate from an outside plumber. When it came time to pay, he demanded cash. Should a super be held to a standard of ethics regarding bidding on a job or receiving payment?
Upper East Side, Manhattan
New Yorkers often hire building staff for side jobs, like painting a room or installing a new fixture. It can certainly be a speedier — and sometimes cheaper — way to accomplish a task. But by no means are you obligated to do this, nor are you required to blindly accept the price the super sets. You own your apartment, so hire the person you think is most qualified to do the work.
"Residents should never feel beholden to the staff on site," said Mark B. Levine, a principal of Excel Bradshaw Management Group. "The work should be done by the most qualified technician for that particular job."
I understand your anxiety about alienating your super — you will certainly need his help in the future. But you should be able to compare bids and interview other contractors without fear of retribution. Policies about this issue vary. Although some buildings have lax moonlighting policies, typically building staff are not supposed to do side jobs while they are on the clock. "Some buildings do have a rule that prohibits such work to avoid these types of problems," said Adam D. Finkelstein, a Manhattan real estate lawyer. If you think that your building's position is too vague, ask the board for clarity. Request that the managing agent send a letter to staff and residents explaining the building's policy about side jobs.
If you do hire the super, be aware of the risks. If a pipe springs a leak, does the super have adequate insurance to cover any damages? Does he have the necessary skills to do the work? "It's easy to have the staff members taking care of these projects," Mr. Levine said, "but it's not always in the best interests of the building."
Repairing Balconies
The balconies in our co-op are being repaired, and the cost will be paid by all shareholders. Yet only 30 percent of the apartments have balconies. This means that roughly 70 percent of residents will not benefit from this expensive work. Is this a common practice?
Upper West Side, Manhattan
Few of us like to pay for things we might never use. Isn't that why people hate paying their taxes?
But collective housing works because some of the costs are shared. If the elevator breaks, everyone chips in to fix it, even those who live on the first floor and have never set foot in the elevator. The same goes for the roof. When it leaks, the residents of the lower floors might not get wet, yet they still help pay for the patch job. In this case, balcony repairs are usually the responsibility of the co-op, even if only a handful of apartments have them.
There is an outside chance that this situation is an exception to the rule. Review your building's governing documents, perhaps with a lawyer, to ensure that the specific repairs being done fall under the co-op's purview. "There may be a remote possibility that the particular repairs at issue in your building are not the building's responsibility," said Deborah B. Koplovitz, a Manhattan real estate lawyer.
As pointless as this expense might seem, there is a personal benefit for you: your safety. Do you really want your neighbor to be the one who decides how and when to repair a heavy structure that cantilevers over the side of a Manhattan apartment building?

Who Is Charles Krauthammer?
For example, Krauthammer opines that Obama's "string of lame-duck successes" — Stimulus II, repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," and the START treaty — "is a singular political achievement," and that "the great Republican ascendancy of 2010 lasted less than two months." But in a subsequent WaPo article, Krauthammer rightly observes that a new spirit of "constitutionalism" is a "promising first step to a conservative future," which would appear to imply that the Republican ascendancy is not over but has just begun. "Sneering" Democrats are given the back of his hand; yet those he calls "non-suicidal liberals" are still "[d]emeaningly, and somewhat unfairly … having to prove their fealty to the flag." Since liberals are for the most part affiliated with the Democratic Party, it would make some sense to suggest that the best way to prove their fealty to the flag is to leave the party.
On the whole, the value of Krauthammer's general deposition is that it serves as a warning to Republicans not to take Obama lightly or to underestimate the conniving shrewdness of the Democratic left. But even in his more balanced columns, a latent current of misplaced respect for a divisive and destructive president willy-nilly tends to emerge. This seems at times like something more than the cautionary esteem of a redoubtable opponent; it smacks of a kind of selective bemusement masked by an aura of Olympian detachment.
A lauded political analyst from whom much is anticipated, a man of presumed conservative principles, an eminence by consensus, he now occasionally prattles away in fluent liberalspeak, attacking a patriot like Geert Wilders and, in practical effect, inflating the "achievements" of a schismatic like Barack Obama. This looks a lot like cognitive dissonance or a species of intellectual vagrancy. Who knows, maybe he has started to mellow and is no longer the Critter Gitter he used to be.
Or is he, as I suggested above, simply sui generis — one can never be sure where on the radar screen of current events his columnar blip will next appear. He clearly leans toward the conservative standpoint on the major questions of foreign policy and the Constitution; yet on social issues such as abortion, energy taxes, and stealth jihad he seems sympathetic to the liberal perspective. True, he opposes the Cordoba mosque project as a violation of "hallowed ground"; on the other hand, as we have seen, he trashes Wilders who has spoken passionately against the Cordoba mosque. What gives? The same man who came out strongly in Israel's defense during the 2006 "Lebanon War," backed by the conservative right, also supported Ariel Sharon's disastrous "disengagement" from Gaza in 2005, which was naturally encouraged by the liberal-left.
How does he juggle what resembles a set of incompatibles? To use a metaphor from Bridge, it is as if Krauthammer is playing a tenace hand, holding two nonconsecutive high cards in a suit, but with no intention of "finessing underneath" the missing "honor." There is no doubt that he plays a powerful game. But regrettably, one misses both the level of consistency one would infer from so formidable a player and the willingness to grapple with the terminal implications of that game.

I wanted to get into triathlons because I wanted to have more of a goal than just "lose weight." I wanted to be fit, I wanted an excuse to be active, to get a new bike, to wear fun spandex. Most importantly, I knew the hubs and I wanted to start a family soon and I wanted to get into something that I would crave while I was growing a person. Don't get me wrong, that desire is REALLY strong - I've already started perusing the 2011 tri circuit, trying to pick at least one to do next year. I'm thinking a Dallas race. In the mean time, I also am getting really excited about other running and biking races along the way. I've signed up for the Dallas MS150 and fully intend on doing a whole mess of 5ks. I'm going to take it slow, I'm going to listen to my body, but WOW am I excited to get back out there :)
On an unexpected note, things I learned from my triathlons have helped me get ready for this crazy race called labor. Did you know there are three stages of labor? Early, Active, and...er...I forgot the 3rd stage, but I like to call it "gooey." (the part where you push out the placenta. eck.) I can't help it - I associate each with the stages of a triathlon. There's even a "transition" stage in labor! It's really helped me put things into perspective. Like in early labor, the same as in swimming, the goal is to relax, enjoy, and do some work, but be sure to conserve your energy for the next two phases. I'm planning to give birth at a birthing center, where I get to eat and drink the whole time, so we've got a bag packed for the two of us that looks a lot like a tri snack bag: lots of coconut waters and energy bars.
Something else that triathlons helped me frame up mentally is how much the encouragement of others can help you get through each of these stages. More importantly, the influence of my hubs. I remember during the horrendous, brutal last leg of the Austin (olympic distance) Triathlon. K followed me around the track on foot and when I was sobbing and shivering he was right there, fetching me water and saying things like, "This is the strongest you have ever been," and, "I am so proud of you."
I'll let you know how it actually goes, and I am definitely ready to get back out there...January 1st it's so on.

Word Of The Month: Brand
This month, a US Federal District Court judge will rule on whether or not Microsoft has the right to trademark the term Windows. Lindows.com, a maker of Linux computer operating systems, has asked the judge to summarily dismiss a lawsuit against them in which Microsoft claims that Lindows.com is infringing on their trademark and brand. For their part, Lindows.com claims that windows was in common use as a computer term for rectangular graphic user interface displays before 1983 when Microsoft began marketing their Windows brand and that no company has a right to exclusive use of common English words.
As a result, brand is the word of the month. A brand is the name of a product or company, a trademark. By extension, the brand is also the values that customers and the public associate with a product or company. The term comes from the practice of literally branding products, or the casks and crates that contain the product, with a hot iron. The idea of brand as a marketing tool is relatively recent, only dating to 1827. Brand name dates to 1921. Brand image appears in 1958 and brand loyalty a few years later in 1961.
Even more recent is the verb to brand. The sense meaning to burn with a hot iron dates to the 15th century, but the marketing verb is very recent. Branding, to a marketer, is the process of building a positive corporate and product image in the minds of the public.
The word brand is found in Old English and originally meant fire or a burning piece of wood. It is from this that we get to brand, meaning to burn a mark into something. The term brand new also comes from this, being something still hot from the forge or furnace where it was made.
Brands, or at least their verbal and graphical expressions, are one of the three types of intellectual property. The term intellectual property, or as it is often abbreviated IP, only dates to 1845 and is American in origin, although the legal concept of intellectual property is much older. Intellectual property consists of patents, copyrights, and trademarks. Patents (1588) protect physical objects or processes. The term is a clipping of letters patent, which were open letters from the crown conferring some specific right upon an individual, such as the right to exclusively manufacture a product. Copyrights (1735) protect expressions of ideas, verbal, graphical, or musical. Both patents and copyrights extend protection for a limited period.
The third type, trademark (1571), is different. Trademarks, the term coming from the marks placed on a product to identify its manufacturer, are of unlimited duration, but they must be used continuously and must be defended when challenged by competitors.
This last makes trademarks an interesting study in onomastics, or the study of names. Many brand or trade names have interesting histories. Many, perhaps most, come from the names of the inventors. But there are many that do not, acquiring their brand names from any number of odd sources. In the paragraphs that follow, we will discuss a few of these.
Aspirin was originally a trade name used by the German firm Bayer, aspirin is from the German Acetylirte Spirsäure + an -in suffix. The German term is translated as acetylated spiraeic acid, a.k.a. acetylsalicylic acid. The drug was invented by Felix Hoffman in 1897. Bayer obtained the German trademark on aspirin in 1899 and put the product on the market in 1914. Aspirin is still a registered trademark of Bayer in some 90 countries, but not in the United States, France, or Britain. Britain and France, who were fighting a war with Germany at the time, never recognized the trademark at all. When the United States entered the war in 1917, Bayer's US operations were seized by the government and put up for auction. Bayer's US plant and trademark were bought by Sterling Drug Company. As a result "Bayer" products sold in the United States were not made by Bayer, at least not until 1994 when Bayer finally bought Sterling and reacquired the right to use its own name in the United States. Aspirin received a further blow in 1921 when the US Supreme Court ruled that it had become the common word for the substance and could no longer be used as a trademark—setting the precedent requiring companies to vigorously defend their trademarks against becoming generic terms.
Audi automobiles are named, in a fashion, after their original manufacturer. August Horsch started his first automobile company in 1899, with the first cars rolling off the production line in 1901. But in 1909, Horsch was forced out of the business by his financial backers and was forbidden to use his name in any new automobile venture. Undeterred, Horsch founded another company, using the Latin translation of his name, Audi, which means to hear. The first Audi cars were produced in 1910.
Cadillac is another eponymous automobile manufacturer, although in this case Cadillac had nothing to with the company or even with automobiles. The Cadillac Motor Car Company began producing cars in 1903. The company took its name from Antoine de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, who founded Detroit in 1701. Cadillac is a town in southwest France. The Cadillac company later became part of General Motors.
Castrol motor oil gets its name from a blend of castor and oil. Castor oil was a common base for engine lubricant in the opening decades of the 20th century. Most Americans are probably unaware that the firm is actually British. Castrol was first produced by the Wakefield Motor Oil Company of London in 1909. The company changed its name to that of its product in 1960. Burmah Oil Company bought Castrol in 1966, and BP bought Burmah-Castrol in 2000.
Coca-Cola is generally considered the most valuable brand name in the world. The name was coined in 1886 by Frank Robinson, bookkeeper to John Pemberton, the Atlanta druggist who founded the firm. The name is a combination of two of the drink's original constituents, extracts from coca leaves and cola nuts. (Fearing backlash by rising anti-drug forces, coca was all but eliminated from the formula by 1902, with only one grain per 400 ounces of syrup. But because Coca-Cola feared charges of false advertising and loss of trademark, these minimal amounts of both coca and cola were kept in the formula until 1929.) Pemberton registered Coca-Cola as a trademark in 1893. Neither portion of the name is considered a trademark on its own, hence there are many soft drinks marketed as colas. Although, courts have ruled that obvious imitations like Cold Cola and Koka Nola are violations of Coca-Cola's trademark.
The alternate brand name for Coca-Cola, Coke, began life as an informal popular name for the drink. It is attested to as early as 1909. The name became so popular so quickly that by the end of World War I a competitor, the Koke Company, was using a variant on the name to sell a similar soda. Coca-Cola sued Koke for trademark infringement, even though it had never registered the Coke trademark nor used it in marketing. And in 1920 the US Supreme Court, in an opinion by Justice Holmes, ruled that the name Coke was the property of Coca-Cola and that Koke was guilty of trademark infringement. (Holmes also ruled that the absence, for all practical purposes, of coca extracts in the syrup did not constitute false advertising, paving the way for the complete elimination of coca from the formula a few years later.) The name Coke began appearing on bottles in 1941 and was registered in 1945.
Drambuie's name has its origins in Scottish history. When the Jacobite rebellion of 1746 collapsed after the Battle of Culloden, the rebellion's leader, Bonnie Prince Charlie, fled to the Isle of Skye and hid from the English. The next year he sailed for France, leaving Scotland for good. Supposedly, before he left the Young Pretender gave the recipe for his personal liqueur to John MacKinnon of Strathaird in gratitude for MacKinnon's friendship and help in staying hidden. The MacKinnon family kept the formula and made Drambuie for their personal consumption for 150 years. Then in 1893, Malcolm MacKinnon registered the name Drambuie. The MacKinnons started selling the liqueur in 1910. Drambuie is a combination of the Gaelic dram (drink) and either buidheach (pleasing) or buidh (golden, yellow).
Esso is a representation of the pronunciation of the initials S.O., for Standard Oil. John D. Rockefeller founded Standard Oil in 1868 and within ten years the company controlled 95% of the refining capacity of the United States. In 1911, the US Supreme Court ruled that Standard Oil violated anti-trust laws and was broken up into "baby Standards." Standard Oil of New Jersey inherited the Esso trademark, but was only allowed to use that trademark in the Mid-Atlantic States and overseas. In 1972, Esso changed its name to Exxon in order to market its products across the United States under a single name. The name Esso is still used in some overseas markets and there are a handful of Exxon-owned gas stations in the United States that still use the name Esso in order to keep the trademark alive domestically.
The name Exxon was the result of one of the largest branding efforts in history, an effort that included one of the earliest uses of computers in market research. Over 10,000 suggestions were winnowed down until only Exxon was left. The name was chosen because it was distinctive and yet meaningless.
Frisbee, the flying disk toy, has a name that is shrouded in anecdote, so much so that the origin of the name cannot be determined for certain. We do know that the Wham-O toy company of San Gabriel, California bought the rights to the first commercial disk, the Pluto Platter, in 1955. Two years later, Wham-O changed the name to Frisbee and they registered the trademark two years after that. It is commonly thought that the name is an alteration of the Frisbie Pie Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Legend has it that tossing Frisbie pie tins about was a popular activity on the nearby Yale campus during the 1940s and 50s. But how the name crossed the continent to California is uncertain. It has been suggested that Wham-O founder Rich Knerr stopped at Yale during a Pluto Platter marketing tour and discovered students tossing the Frisbie pie tins. Knerr believed this to be a superior name, changed the spelling to Frisbee, and marketed the toy under that name. Wham-O altered the spelling to avoid trademark infringement on the bakery, but it didn't really matter as the bakery went out of business the next year.
Hoover is not the name of the inventor of the vacuum cleaner. Rather, William H. Hoover was a businessman who bought the rights to a vacuum invented by a J. Murray Spangler. Spangler, a janitor in an Ohio department store, created a device to make his job easier. Spangler sold the rights to Hoover and disappeared into obscurity. Hoover, who sold his first vacuum cleaner in 1908, got rich. None of this is unusual in the world of business, nor would it be etymologically interesting, except that in Britain to hoover has become a verb meaning to vacuum a rug. Hoover started exporting its vacuum cleaners to Britain in 1912. By 1926, the verb had arisen. The verb has never caught on in the device's country of origin, being restricted to British use. Although in the 1980s, to hoover became a US slang verb meaning to greedily devour food and, especially, cocaine.
Kodak is a good example of a brand name that was created completely from scratch. It has no intrinsic meaning, nor does it carry associations or allusions to anything else. Kodak is etymologically interesting because its coiner, George Eastman, recorded exactly how he came up with it, a very rare occurrence in the world of word origins. "A trade name must be short," wrote Eastman, "vigorous, incapable of being misspelled to an extent that will destroy its identity, and, in order to satisfy trademark laws, it must mean nothing. The letter K had been a favorite with me—it seemed a strong, incisive sort of letter. Therefore the word I wanted had to start with K. Then it became a question of trying out a great number of combinations of letters that made words starting and ending with K. The word Kodak is the result."
Eastman had formed the Eastman Dry Plate Company in 1881, so called because it produced photographic glass plates with a dry coating of chemicals, as opposed to "wet photography." Two years later he revolutionized photography by creating the first photographic film, eliminating the need for glass plates. In 1888, his company produced the Kodak camera—the world's first practical consumer camera. Because of the commercial success of the Kodak, the company changed its name to Eastman Kodak in 1892.
It is only by happenstance that Lego means I study or I assemble in Latin. It was coined in 1934 by Danish carpenter and toy maker Ole Kirk Christiansen. The name is actually from the Danish leg godt, meaning play well. Only afterwards did Christiansen realize the name had positive connotations in Latin. The familiar Lego brick was introduced in 1949.
Listerine is not named after its inventor; rather it is named after Joseph Lister, a British physician who in 1865 became the first to use antiseptics in surgery, sterilizing his instruments with heat and using carbolic acid to clean the wound. Across the pond in the United States, the Warner Lambert Company appropriated his name and first marketed Listerine in 1879 as a general purpose antiseptic, formulated for surgical use. In 1895, it was marketed to dentists. It was not until 1914 that Listerine was sold over the counter—the first commercially available mouthwash. Lister, who lived until 1912, objected to this commercial use of his name. It is not certain whether he objected because he thought commerce was beneath him or because he was never paid for the use of his name.
Maxwell House did not start out as the name of a brand of coffee. Originally, it was the name of a luxury hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1892, a wholesale grocery salesman named Joel Cheek managed to sell his own blend of coffee to the Maxwell House hotel. The coffee served at the hotel gained a local reputation for quality and Cheek began selling the blend elsewhere under the Maxwell House name. In 1928, Cheek changed the name of his company to Maxwell House. The slogan good to the last drop was allegedly first uttered by President Theodore Roosevelt who stayed at the hotel in 1903.
The Mercedes automobile is named after the daughter of Austrian racecar driver Emil Jellinek. He bought a specially modified Daimler Phoenix in 1898 and the following year raced it in the Tour de Nice. It was the fashion in those times for drivers to enter races under a pseudonym, and Jellinek used Monsieur Mercedes, after his nine-year-old daughter. Jellinek won the race and there was considerable interest among other drivers and fans in acquiring a "Mercedes" car. Daimler was happy to oblige by stepping up production and a brand was born. The trademark was registered in 1902.
Mitsubishi is unusual in that the company is actually named after its logo. Mitsubishi means three diamonds in Japanese and the corporate symbol is just that. The company got its start in 1870 as the Tsukomo Shokai shipping company. Three years later it changed its name to Mitsubishi Shokai, the second in long series of name changes. The huge conglomerate was broken up after World War II and now there are many different corporate entities that use the Mitsubishi name, with the automobile manufacturer being the best known in the United States.
Like Coca-Cola, Palmolive gets its name from two constituents of the original product. Milwaukee soap manufacturer B.J. Johnson began selling Palmolive soap in 1898. The bases for his product were palm and olive oils. The soap was a best seller and in 1916 like many companies Johnson changed the corporate name to that of its best-known product. Ten years later, Palmolive merged with the Peet Brothers, a Kansas City soap maker to become Palmolive-Peet. Finally, in 1930, the company merged with the Colgate Company to become Colgate-Palmolive-Peet. In 1953, the company dropped Peet from its name.
Quaker Oats is a rarity, a company that uses religious imagery in its branding. But the company does not and never has had any true association with the Society of Friends (Quakers); they just use the name and a picture of a Colonial-era Quaker. Furthermore, Quakers are not particularly known for eating oatmeal or other breakfast cereals. The Quaker Mill Company was founded in 1877 by Henry Seymour and William Heston. There are two tales as to how the company got its name. One is that Seymour read an article about the Quakers and was impressed by the religion's values of purity, honesty, and strength. Seymour, who was looking for a corporate name, thought that his company would benefit from those same values. The second story is that Heston saw a picture of William Penn, the Quaker founder of Pennsylvania, and that inspired him to think of positive corporate values and brand equity. The Society of Friends initially objected to the name and even tried, unsuccessfully, to get the US Congress to prohibit the use of religious names and symbols in trademarks. In 1901 the company merged with two other cereal manufacturers to become Quaker Oats. In 2001, the company was bought by PepsiCo, and is now a division of that conglomerate.
Scotch Tape, like Quaker Oats, has no direct connection with its namesake; there is nothing Scottish about it. But in this case the original values associated with the name were not complimentary. In 1925 the 3M (Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing) Company began producing masking tape for use in painting automobiles. In order to reduce costs, 3M reduced the amount of adhesive on the tape. Unfortunately this resulted in a tendency for the tape to fall off half way through the painting process. Customers derisively started referring to it as "Scotch" tape because 3M was so cheap. The name stuck, even though 3M quickly corrected the deficiency by adding more adhesive. Eventually, 3M gave up fighting the inevitable, registered it as a trademark, and turned it into a brand that connotes quality instead of fiscal prudence.
Velcro was invented in Switzerland in the early 1940s, but the name was not coined until around 1957. The name is a French acronym for velours croché, or hooked velvet.
Xerox is a name that is continually in danger of losing its proprietary status as people use it as a generic name for a photocopy. The process of photocopying was invented by Chester Carlson in 1938. Carlson referred to it as electrophotography in his patent application. In 1947 the Haloid Company acquired the rights to Carlson's patents and the following year re-dubbed the process xerography, from the Greek xero- (dry) + -ography (as in photography). That same year Haloid also registered the trademark Xerox, using the distinctive two Xs (Cf. Exxon). The Haloid Company changed its name to Xerox in 1961.
Zipper began its life as a trademark of the rubber manufacturer B.F. Goodrich. Goodrich did not invent the slide fastener; they had been in existence since 1893 and had generally been known as hookless fasteners. But in 1923 Goodrich started manufacturing rubber overshoes with a slide fastener, which it dubbed Zipper Boots. Goodrich registered the trademark in 1925. Allegedly it was B.F. Goodrich himself who came up with the name, after the sound the boots made upon being fastened. By 1928, the term zipper was already making its way into generic use. Goodrich sued in an attempt to protect the trademark. It won the case, but the victory was limited to the full term Zipper Boots. Goodrich lost control of the rights to the ordinary zipper.

If they had to make it on advertising alone, they'd fail. If they had to make it on consumer fees alone, they'd fail. They simply don't have the audience to support either.

Monroe Dance Academy has been offering dance education to students in SW Connecticut for over thirty years.
We strive to endow self confidence, composure, poise, and presence. These are the characteristics of success for our students along with a life-long appreciation of dance.
We offer the best dance education possible, presented by some of the finest mentors, leaders and professional faculty who are proper role models. Discipline, hard work and professionalism are the personal commitments expected of each student.
We offer a variety of classes to children and adults including Ballet, Pointe, Modern, Jazz, Tap, Lyrical, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Break Dancing, Musical Theater, Acrobatics.
An annual school performance gives students the opportunity to demonstrate their hard-earned achievements on stage. The performance is offered to the public, and allows exposure to new choreography, rehearsals (including technical and dress rehearsals), and multiple performance scheduling.
MDC, the official performing dance company of Monroe Dance Academy, provides qualified students a variety of additional opportunities to perform in convalescent homes, senior citizen centers, dance festivals, regional charities, and benefits. Preparation for a higher education in dance, and ultimately the pursuit of a dance career, are a main focus of MDC. Master classes with professional artists are encouraged to expand technical skills. Beyond learning dance technique, the students are taught to understand the importance of the performing arts.
MDA boasts graduates of the school working professionally in dance and theater. Often these former students come back to the school to share their expertise and experiences with current students.
"We are always excited to bring professional dancers, actors, and singers to Monroe Dance Academy because it's important for our students to interact with people who are making a living following their dream," said Judy Abbatiello, MDA's founder.

The first all-athletes edition of Dancing With The Stars premiered last night and it didn't disappoint. It delivered on all fronts, especially in the fabulously gay department thanks to Adam Rippon. The 28-year-old figure skater stole the show with his sassy cha-cha-cha to RuPaul's hit "Sissy That Walk." Rippon and his partner Jenna Johnson delivered a tight routine which included some fierce voguing as well.

Holidays bring to mind thoughts of family, friends, fun, food…and maybe, in the face of hearing loss, some stress knowing it will be hard to keep up with the conversations. Maybe, when Cousin Bob tells his latest joke, you laugh at the punch line. NOT because you heard it, but because everyone else is laughing. Maybe, when the group is reminiscing at the kitchen table, you sneak off into the other room where it's quiet, and you don't have to participate. After all, it can be stressful to listen and try to catch every word. Much easier if it's just you and the TV.
Does this sound like you, or does it sound like someone you know and love?
Maybe it's time to check your hearing. Maybe it's time to get some hearing help, and join in on the conversations again.
Depending on your hearing loss, your needs, your capabilities, and of course, your finances, there IS hearing help out there! Today's hearing aids and devices are NOT your father's hearing aids. Digital technology has brought wonderful enhancements to today's devices. Imagine, a small wireless lapel microphone, attached to your son during dinner. Now, HIS voice is being "streamed" into your hearing aids! Imagine him walking across the room, washing dishes in the sink, with his back turned to you, and you are STILL hearing his voice in your hearing aids. Now, that same microphone is plugged into the TV, which is 20 feet across the room. The football game is now "live" in your ears! And, when you get up to get a drink, you don't have to miss the winning touchdown! The game announcer is with you in the kitchen.
Don't miss out on the precious sounds of your loved ones. Give yourself, and them, the gift of easier communication in the face of hearing loss. And, Happy Holidays to all!

The most striking thing about anti-cyberbullying tips released by Melania Trump Monday was just how much was taken straight from a 2014 FTC pamphlet. Reporters and bloggers immediately seized on the similarities, which included a near-identical cover and almost verbatim passages.
Why it matters: The effort has been greeted with skepticism since it was announced, given the President's propensity to use his Twitter account to mock and pillory political opponents.

10. Carvin
Carvin is an immensely popular brand among the guitarists. They have been distinguishing in terms of their product quality. They have well maintained the class and don't make their stuffs available in native stores. In short, they assemble mechanically.

You can't really find more budget friendly guitars anywhere else the way you can find from them. Their products are smooth, user-friendly, durable and always within your budget.

Gibson brand products have been the favourite for musicians over the globe. To be specific, the products like Les Paul, SG, Firebird, etc are hugely popular. No matter you are classic or a hard rock fan, they have always something for you. Talking about the distinguishing parts, I must say they understand the technical aspects much better than any one else. You can find many exciting custom products as well of the brand.

Makes tap water safe for pond fish
From time to time, you will need to top up your pond with tap water, as water is removed during routine care procedures such as water changes or simply via the natural process of evaporation. However, our tap water is intended for human consumption.
Using a three-step process, a special combination of active ingredients offers instant and lasting pond protection by:
> Effectively and permanently neutralising poisonous heavy metals such as copper, zinc and lead
> Neutralising aggressive chlorine
> Using organic colloidal ingredients that effectively protect fish gills and mucous membranes and thus prevent disease
> Containing vitamin B1 to combat stress, for instance when transporting, introducing or transferring fish
> Containing iodine and minerals to increase fish vitality and promote breeding
> Creating ideal conditions for the colonisation of microorganisms, which break down toxic substances such as ammonia and nitrite
• Immediate and long-lasting effect
• Incredibly easy and precise dosage
• Perfect for use with: Tetra Pond FilterZym, Tetra Pond AquaFresh and Tetra Pond AquaFit
Directions for use: Application is essential when filling a pond for the first time, during all partial water changes, after prolonged rainfall and after treatment for disease Dosing instructions: Shake the bottle well before use. Use the measuring cup to add 50 ml of Tetra Pond AquaSafe for every 1,000 litres of pond water. For best results, dilute Tetra Pond AquaSafe in a container prior to use and then dispense the treatment evenly over the surface of the water. We recommend adding regular dosages using half the amount every 2-3 weeks. There is no danger of an overdose.

Arthur Brown
With his theatrical performances, which saw him wearing helmets of fire and outlandish costumes, Arthur Brown (born Jun 24, 1944 in Whitby, Yorkshire, England) became one of the most electrifying one-shot artists of the 60's. In addition to topping the British charts (and reaching number two in the U.S.) with his brilliantly demonic single "Fire," Arthur Brown actually scored a Top Ten LP with his 1968 debut, "The Crazy World of Arthur Brown". Crazy World of Arthur Brown (band) The Crazy World of Arthur Brown is a psychedelic rock band of Arthur Brown.

NEW LONDON, Conn. -- Coast Guard Rifle closed the Mid Atlantic Rifle League season hosting the NCAA Qualifier in tandem with a match against Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The Bears were led in air rifle by senior captain Nick Paisker in his penultimate match at the Academy. Paisker paced the team with a 577. Sophomore Randall Ford chipped in with season high 571. Sophomore Jacob Dupree and Freshman Dylan Lorence both posted personal bests, a 560 and 564 respectively, in the winning effort. The score of 2272 tied the season high score fired at the President's Cup at Air Force in November. Coast Guard went into the smallbore phase of the match with a 101 point advantage over MIT
Ford's team topping score of 561 in smallbore was, in part, due to an excellent performance in the difficult standing position. Ford's combined score in air and smallbore of 1124 is a highwater mark for the young rifleman. The ever consistent Paisker delivered a solid 557 in support. Rookie Marshall Grant squeezed out a 541 with Lorence rounding out the scoring with a 536. The Bears smallbore score of 2195 was about the team average and 64 points better than the Engineers. In the end, MIT fell to Coast Guard 4467 to 4302.
The Bears Rifle Team celebrated the 65th anniversary of the Coast Guard's heroic Pendleton/Fort Mercer rescue by completing an undefeated conference schedule.
Coast Guard, 16-9 overall and perfect in conference, next sees action in two weeks when it hosts the conference championship.

Thousands of students nationwide participated in a walkout Wednesday honoring those who were killed during the shooting that took place last month in Parkland, Fla. While many students were applauded for their efforts, others are facing in-school suspensions, unexcused absences, and detention for participating.
The 17-minute school walkout was designed to honor the 17 individuals who were killed when a gunman opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla, on Feb. 14. The shooting, which claimed the lives of students and faculty, rattled not only those who survived the massacre but the nation that watched it from afar.
In its aftermath, survivors have galvanized a movement on Twitter, Facebook, and in person, calling on lawmakers to enforce stricter gun control laws. The walkout, in addition to being a memorial, was meant to raise awareness about gun violence nationwide. But for some school leaders, students who participated in the walkout were seen as disruptive and deserving of punishment.
One such student is Summerlin Hutson, a senior at Bentonville West High School in northern Arkansas, who received an in-school suspension Tuesday for handing out flyers informing students about the event. Undeterred by the punishment, Hutson participated in the walkout on Wednesday morning, carrying a megaphone to spread the message of nonviolence to her peers. She will now serve suspension Thursday and Friday for her actions.
Hutson, who is set to attend the University of Arkansas in the fall, tells Yahoo Lifestyle that she was in contact with school administrators about the walkout from the start. "They showed nothing but resistance," Hutson says. "They were vocal about wanting to not be 'supportive' of it."
Although the 18-year-old says the school's stance on the walkout was clear, they ultimately cracked down on her for passing out a flyer on Monday without giving three full school days for administration to review it — which is one of the rules. According to Hutson, she showed them the flyer on Thursday, which did not give them the required amount of time. When she told the administrators that it was time-sensitive, they didn't agree to approve it quickly.
While the three-day rule is in place, Hutson says it's one that is often not followed — and people who break it are rarely punished. In this case, it was. "My principal actually called me out of class on Monday to tell me he was disappointed with me for doing it," Hutson says. "He asked me to stop handing them out to avoid punishment, and I told him I would think about it but not promise anything."
Hutson says after the talk with her principal, she didn't continue to hand out the flyers, but it was already too late. "I got a note from our dean, who called me into the office and told me I would be suspended for two days for insubordination," says Hutson. "I have never seen any sort of disciplinary action taken against [flyers] before. Their response is excessive."
During an in-school suspension, students are not allowed to attend class, eat lunch with their peers, or interact with anyone outside gthe suspension room. Hutson sees it as a direct violation of her rights. "It is my belief that my school administration is censoring the information I am putting out there based on their personal beliefs," she says. "I am being punished."
The punishment didn't dissuade the Arkansas senior from continuing her work. On Wednesday, she marched alongside hundreds of classmates holding brightly colored signs with slogans such as, "Enough is enough." The decision to move forward came with a punishment all its own — one that was decided upon in a board meeting held last week to discuss the march. After debate from both sides, the school announced that all those who participated in the walkout would be recorded as absent and assigned detention.
Students who choose to participate in Wednesday's walkout at 10 a.m. will be counted absent and assigned a detention, in accordance with the student handbook.
— Bentonville Schools (@Bville_Schools) March 13, 2018
Hutson, who reportedly marched along with about 250 classmates, said the decision made them angry. "I think the things going on in my school and my district should be known," Hutson tells Yahoo Lifestyle. "I think often times adults don't realize the extensiveness of the struggles we face."
According to the American Civil Liberties Union, students have the right to speak out — including on flyers — as long as it doesn't "disrupt the functioning of the school or violate the school's content-neutral policies." As far as punishment for a walkout, the ACLU notes that disciplinary action against students who leave class is permitted.
Leslee Wright, communications director at Bentonville Schools, tells Yahoo Lifestyle in a statement. "We fully respect and appreciate each student's individual free speech rights. Our respect for their voices, however, does not translate to selective enforcement of our policies, which are designed to keep students safe while on campus and minimize disruption in the classroom."
By Wednesday afternoon, the students were still waiting to get their official detentions, but Hutson doesn't doubt that they will be given. "They made kids sign out on sheets if they wanted to leave the classroom for the walkout, and that's how they'll know who to assign detentions to," she says. "I am not sure when they'll assign them, but our administration stated multiple times that they would be."
Although school officials were against the students' actions Wednesday, not everyone in the older generation disagreed. In an interview with ArkansasMatters.com, Hutson's father commended his daughter for standing up to authority. "I'm really proud of her for taking the lead in it, and I would think that everybody would be,' John Hutson said. "We're trying to raise these kids to be critical thinkers and articulate adults, and I think that's what she's doing."

this is a girl who comes every evening to angkor wat, with a pup asking for money. it seems like she's trained to keep ranting "1 dollar, 1 dollar" and her voice is so sweet that it feels as if it can melt a rock. this photograph was taken late in the evening when there was not much light. also i used a very saturated film ( kodak vs) in order to give it the look of a painting. i dont know if people here will appreciate it, but i know that the photographs in the national geographic editions in the 70s and the 80s had that look and i love it. maciej has also photographed this girl and she had a pup then too. it seems that the pup never grows up. maybe the pup keeps getting replaced. maybe the parents know what effect the pair of these innocent eyes can have on people.
please note that ive used a 17 mm lens here.so although it may seem that i was standing far away somewhere at a great height, i was standing right next to her. also ive let the original composition be in order to create the effect of space and in order to show how tiny she and the pup were.

a picture that sucks you in, and further in. wonderful. have no more to say but thank you. /ae
alimo3 (6854) 2004-09-14 15:45
yes !this is a surprising shot .
as you tell on the note it seems that you fly a little too high .
but i like your style Sohrab!!!!!!!
natlo (209) 2004-09-14 15:45
What a lively picture.
bfly (5775) 2004-09-14 17:41
very good :)..I loved it..I loved her..loved the colors..loved your 17 mm too...another reason to try an slr soon...
take care..
kinginexile (2598) 2004-09-14 22:53
Gee! almost like a shot of the earth taken from the sky, and given how tiny she is, it is!
Aren't you happy she wore that screaming violet dress/sarong? It offsets perfectly the tones of the "earth" and punctuate her own moody stare.
the puppy looks like a bat
flydragon (0) 2004-09-15 3:17
Wowww i like it Sohrab
i like the contrast of the brown color and purple
and here lovely gaze
17 mm ,o) hhehee not bad
verry nice photograph Sohrab
and good note

Galeota (10352) 2004-09-15 4:04
Great POV for this photograph. YOu manage to have a rich combination of colours. This is very well done.
Rhiannon (1728) 2004-09-15 4:16
They do look irresistable together.
So cute!
I like you angle and composition.
Nice colours, maybe a little too dark.
You have an excellent capture here!
eleparc (24063) 2004-09-15 6:21
excellent sohrab! you were talking about experiencing another POV! this one is definitely different! lol i quite like it. However, the girl now stands right in the middle of the photo, and it lessens the overall impact for me. i'd rather not have so much above her head or another framing...
anyway, a good shot!
ale (1819) 2004-09-15 7:23
Wow Sohrab,
they are lovely, and you captured them with a perfect pov to emphasize their "size".
Beautiful colorful shot!
kikvel (4784) 2004-09-15 9:24
very nice...and your notes are excellent
the dark tint and the saturation chosen are perfect
I like the POV from above...intensifies her message
SophieL (6042) 2004-09-15 10:30
An amazing picture, and amazingly moving. Great use of wide angle to emphasize her loneliness and tiny size. She looks so lost and so does the pup. Really wonderful shot and the colors and light are perfect.
I was a bit disturbed by the fact that you chose to put her in the middle of the picture, and tried to crop a bit of the ground in the bottom. It doesn't work, actually, it's less striking. The centered composition gives the impression that she is trapped, with nowhere to turn.
Bogdan (205) 2004-09-15 18:14
Honestly, this is your best in my oppinion, and one of the best here on TE, due to the emotional charge that you have gifted it with. I am really gealous of you having taken this(and you lens too).
Gealously, yet respectfully,
RGatward (20086) 2004-09-16 9:18
Very striking and original PoV. Yes, the 'i dollar' mantra is something I think of when I remember Siem Reap, I wonder if you get it in the rest of the country.
Proxilva (2157) 2004-09-18 8:44
Hi Sohrab...
I have a very unpleasant feeling with this photograph... It's because the point of view and the composition it really gives me the creeps...it's kinda denigrading to me, I'm sorry :)... the colors are outstanding btw... but i can't help trying to erase this image out of my mind...
but i saw you have been busy, so your other photograph will help me i guess ;D
bip-bip (1837) 2004-09-18 10:05 [Comment]
Your comment is also very interesting : I can hear her begging "1 dollar, 1 dollar, etc."
pridel (233) 2004-09-20 5:37
I am back, I had seen your superb photograph a few days ago and had put it in my favorite. I had not had time to say how much I liked it. The pov is vertiginous. And I love this blue glance of the small girl like two small planets earth. It is an at the same time tender and serious photograph. The small nice girl and her adorable puppy which looks at us too, are very attaching.
I felt the same emotion as in your first photographs of children in b&w. It is very E X C E L L E N T.
Amelia (245) 2004-10-05 10:22
This photo is exellent and full of emotions. Yours colors look very impressive
tashi-wangmo (30) 2004-10-11 15:08
That´s just right,very sensible
stereopirate (231) 2004-10-23 14:43
this really is the most beautyful image i have ever seen .. the green grass line in the right is great and the three colored hair-bands.. and those eyes .. wow..
will-b (236) 2004-11-03 9:07
Photography at its very, very best. I agree with stereopirate - this is one of the best photos I've ever seen, and certainly the best use of a 17mm lens!
Regards Will
NorthAngel (270) 2004-11-08 17:47
Hi Sohrab!
What a beautiful photo here again! I love the contrast of the colours, and most of all the expression of the eyes of the lovely little girl! You know how to transmit your emotions in your shots, congratulation! You are a very good photographer and I'm sure you will succeed in your studies! Good luck! Take care, Murielle.
maciekda (19895) 2004-12-03 7:26
oh! i know this girl! her doggy is bigger now! no, it is a different dog... and she has longer hair here! look here in TE and here in Pbase... interesting!
and your photo is good, original idea and nice compo, a bit dark though, but still nice
iGirl (1223) 2006-01-15 9:55
I like the viewpont and the colors!
La-Moreneta (466) 2006-08-02 5:16
Images are timeless for they freeze time and space.
I saw this image and and I kept comming back to it ( a qaulity most of your images seem to have)
It took me few revists to read the photographers note.
to quote your words
"it seems like she's trained to keep ranting "1 dollar, 1 dollar" and her voice is so sweet that it feels as if it can melt a rock.
it is no different from the street children you encounter in most parts of the world..
be it bombay , barcelona , krakow or angkor wat. It is Terrible that children have to earn a living selling that innocence.
schekerli (234) 2007-01-17 14:35
This is also a masterpiece! Hats off!
nisakyd (115) 2012-02-22 12:40
So impressive!! I like it so much.

Distortion Tests
3 Attachment(s)
The 6 ohm Eminence Lab 12 is rated at 400 watts, tests were done at 800 watts, 49 volts into 3 ohms.
The B&C BC18SW115-4 is rated at 1500 watts, it was tested with 77.5 volts into 4 ohms.
Distortion was taken as the nearest whole number from the distortion calculator chart below, no attempt was made to sum all the various distortion harmonics together.
More detail in the methodology and distortion readings for other speakers can be seen in this thread, page six sums up most of the information:
PSW Sound Reinforcement Forums: LAB Lounge => JBL SRX718 - Basic Distortion Measurements
My test computer was carried away by a gust of wind yesterday, suffered a four foot drop, breaking the screen :^(. An expensive gust that occurred just before the last test I was going to attempt before it started to rain.
Unfortunately I will not be able to post any distortion screen shots until the computer is repaired.
The BC18SW115-4 BR 38 Fb averaged 120.6 dB, 2.69% distortion.
The BC18SW115-4 TH averaged 126.52 dB, 5.438% distortion.
The 2xLab12 TH averaged 124.33 dB, 6.375% distortion.
In a previous test, 2xLab12 in a ported cabinet averaged 117.12 dB, 6.25% distortion.
So much for tapped horns are cleaner than BR myth.
Especially since the TH have more distortion up high, the 80 Hz harmonics march right up into the 320 Hz and above range.
Of course, if the BR were given enough power to be the same level as the TH, its distortion would be higher, though the upper end would probably still be clean.
The 2xLab12 TH is about 2 dB more sensitive than the B&C TH, so should have been within a dB of it with half the power, but the B&C was 2.188 dB louder overall.
Other than below 30 Hz,( all the cabinets need a 28 Hz or so filter) the B&C probably would be OK with at least 3000 watts peak.
The overall margin of level difference between the BC18SW115-4 in the BR compared to the TH is 5.92 dB, about the same as the sensitivity difference was in the magnitude response.
However the BR has lost LF relative to HF in the high power sine wave tests compared to the Magnitude Response tests, perhaps to port compression.
The B&C TH is the inverse, the upper 90 Hz area peak has gone away at high power sine wave testing.
Port compression is well known, the loss of upper frequencies, that is kind of different.
The Lab 12s, however, retained their more prominent 90-100 Hz peak, the only frequencies that broke the 130 dB one meter barrier, assuming I have Smaart SPL calibrated correctly.
I think it is within a dB or so of reality, and the BK-4004, used for the tests is rated for 148 dB at less than 1% THD.
Comparing the frequencies from 35 to 70 Hz:
The BC18SW115-4 BR 38 Fb averaged 119.53 dB.
The BC18SW115-4 TH averaged 127.27 dB.
The 2xLab12 TH averaged 124.28 dB.
In the lower range, the TH is louder than the BR by 7.74 dB, and the BC18TH has beat the Lab 12TH by 2.99 dB, using about 3 dB more power. The Lab 12s were pretty well maxed out at 50 Hz, while the BC18SW115-4 could still take another 3 dB or more overall, probably achieving 5- 6 dB more output.
I did high volume magnitude response tests to see if these frequency response differences show up with pink noise, using an amp capable of 85 volts just at clip level, the response curves for the BC18SW115-4 looked almost identical at their curves at -10 dB.
The Lab 12 had a slight dip in the range from around 45-60 Hz at high power compared to low, the power level was enough to cause power compression, as evidenced by the 45-60 Hz dip still evident even at low power until the voice coils cooled down.
During testing, at times I noted the Lab 12 magnet structure getting fairly warm compared to the ambient temperature, and a fair amount of heat coming from the vent, while the BC18SW115-4, getting almost double the power of the two Lab 12,
The amp used for the test was a Speaker Power Torpedo SP1-4000-DS, a plate amp designed to be put in a speaker cabinet, it is a good power match for the Lab 12s, (and will power four in Paraline without problem) but a bit light for the BC18SW115-4.
All this testing is expensive, I blew up a QSC PL3602 comparing it to the SP1-4000-DS, then broke my computer yesterday.
And after all the testing with the BC18SW115-4, although it will definitely put out more level than the Lab 12 or 4015LF speakers, unless I get some more powerful amps, Ill hardly see any increase in the LF output of my system.
The many pleasures of DIY.
Art Welter
Hi Art,
My condolences on your losses.
What took out the QSC?
It would be nice to see the difference in the keystone vs a normal box width terminated TH mouth.
I completely understand your situation, testing equipment the right way takes so much time just to get accurate results. It must have taken an enormous amount of time to build and test all your stuff.
Now others can see and review your findings ... To bad it came at the cost of some of your equipment. What are your thoughts on the doubling distortion figure for the 18" TH vs the 18" BR? Could it be from the TH being less damped than the BR.?
Anyways thanks for the info.
Hopefully you can get the QSC warrantied
QSC - Warranty Registration
The damage was not too bad, one blown output transistor, $100 repair plus a 100 mile round trip X 2.
The MacBook was out of warranty by a bit too, but physical damage would not have been covered anyway, as I found out yesterday.
I will have to remember to use a "safety belt" on the computer for outside testing.
Art Welter
The QSC protection circuit did not respond quick enough to avoid damage when presented with a dead short with the inputs wide open with a very robust pink noise signal.
I normally turn off amp power and zero the inputs after each gig, but I had missed doing that with the PLX-3602. Five of the six amps I had on the last gig were all turned down, I happened to plug in to the one that was not zeroed.
I plugged in the input, plugged in the output, plugged in the AC, click clack click clack of the protection circuit.
A clip lead connecting the VOM test leads to the load resister bank had shifted, causing a dead short. If the amp's inputs had been brought up slowly, the protection circuit probably would have saved it.
Oh well, can't help bad luck...
All the TH research, design time and testing have occupied most of my time since the beginning of February.
Not sure what you mean by the TH being less damped neither the TH or Thiele BR use any damping material in the cabinet.
Acoustically, I would think the TH dampens the speaker more than a BR.
The Keystone TH is almost 6 dB more sensitive overall than the BR, more in the upper region of the pass band.
To get that sensitivity, seems both sides of the cone are working harder, the extra loading stress seems to translate to more distortion.
The Lab 12 had a bit more distortion than the BC18SW115-4, but its distortion figures did not change as much between BR and TH. The BC18SW115-4 is a very stiff cone, but the Lab 12 is cone is even stiffer.
The Lab 12 suspension is looser than the BC18SW115, it is probably a bit above Xmax at the 30 and 50 Hz tests.
I did not test the distortion of the 4015LF in the Keystone, but from my listening tests it was obviously more distorted than in the BR cabinet I measured it in previously.
The 4015LF cone feels almost mushy by comparison to the BC18SW115.
Stiff cones seem to help lower distortion in TH.
The Eminence 3015LF is popular in TH, it is lighter (and therefore more sensitive) than the 4015LF. Id expect its distortion to be higher also.
Frequency, phase and transient response differences all make for different sounding speakers. Distortion is one of the big four regarding speakers, yet is seldom mentioned.
Its funny to see people worry about .01 distortion in amplifiers, when good speakers, pushed to rated power levels, frequently exceed 10%.
The testing I did can easily be done by anyone with an RTA, it would be interesting to see more results from different DIY and commercial cabinets.
Art Welter
I've been using a free dropbox account to handle the backup of measurement files and programs like Hornresp across Mac and PC systems. Here is my referral link to dropbox it'll get us both some extra space. Another awesome and free thing that I use is evernote, these guys should get a nobel.
Dang Art. Careful with the equipment man. Of course its just not a complete day of testing without frying a sound card or mechanically breaking an $800 driver. Both things I have done.
TH distortion is more variable than what you see with traditional direct radiator systems. Some areas are very very clean and others within the fr will have much higher thd than the equivalent direct radiator. The varying loading and pressures on the cone, the xmax variance and more importantly the acoustic boosting at certain freqs causes the thd profile to be highly range dependant unlike a traditional direct box that has a predictable but comparatively smooth thd profile. TH's have much greater swings in thd level through out the operational range.

Last Chance to Own This Watch
"Excellent Timepiece/Customer Service"
Verified Owner Comments: My expectations were far exceeded when I received this timepiece. Matt and the team at Watchbuys answered all of my questions and made sure that I was well taken care of.
Thanks again for your outstanding efforts to make sure that your customers are taken care of.
TESTAF Certified Pilot's WatchesLothar Schmidt, Sinn's CEO and owner had long been disturbed by a lack of technical standards for defining a "pilot's watch". As an engineer, Mr. Schmidt was fluent in standards for diver's watches, anti-magnetic watches and the many other technological standards used to manufacture watches.A widely used reference for standards is DIN, or the Deutsches Institut fr Normung (German Institute for Standardization). Oddly, he discovered there were no DIN standards to cover pilot's watches where such standards existed for example for diver's watches.The new "Technical Standard for Pilot's Watches" (TESTAF) was developed by the Aachen University of Applied Sciences and establishes the suitability for professional use as a pilot's watch.

text: STYLE Water by the Spoonful: Theater Review 6:00 PM PST 1/8/2013 by David Rooney FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Bill Heck and Liza Colón-Zayas This initially amorphous drama about family and community proves ultimately quite affecting. TWITTER Playwright Quiara Alegría Hudes' winner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Drama receives its New York premiere. NEW YORK – The middle installment of a trilogy that began in 2006 with Elliot, A Soldier's Fugue, Quiara Alegría Hudes' 2012 Pulitzer winner, Water by the Spoonful, is sharpest when that same central character, an Iraq War vet now returned to his childhood neighborhood of North Philadelphia, is the focus. While the musical correlation of the earlier play is self-evident in its title, this one takes its cue from the dissonant jazz of John Coltrane. As such, it is discursive, jarring at times, even chaotic. But the poignancy and thoughtfulness of the playwright's observations on addiction, family, forgiveness and human connection build a stealth impact. Reprising his role as Elliot, who was honorably discharged from the Marines after getting his leg chewed up in Iraq, Armando Riesco gives a lovely twitchy performance full of humor, anger and hope that surfaces almost in defiance of the character's every natural instinct. Assembling sandwiches at a local Subway store while trying to make inroads as an actor, he is both irreverent and respectful toward his family's Puerto Rican heritage. PHOTOS: Tony Awards 2012: Stars of Stage and Screen Celebrate Broadway's Big Night Elliot is haunted by a ghost (Ryan Shams) from his time in combat, uttering an Arabic phrase that translates as "Can I please have my passport back?" That request encapsulates Elliot's own bid to recover his civilian identity. His disorientation is heightened by the fact that the woman he calls his mother is dying of cancer, thus removing the vital senior link that has held the community together. Scenes between Elliot and his cousin Yaz (Zabryna Guevara), an adjunct professor of music at Swarthmore College, are the heart of the play. The product of an upscale education in predominantly white institutions, Yaz is still smarting from her breakup with a guy whose family "has Quaker Oats for DNA." She's only marginally more comfortable with her place in the world than Elliot. The first act intersperses the cousins' stage time with scenes depicting the regulars of an online Narcotics Anonymous forum. Initially known only by their chat-room handles, they include Orangutan (Sue Jean Kim), a volatile young Japanese-American woman increasingly obsessed with finding her birth mother; Chutes & Ladders (Frankie Faison), an IRS paper pusher who has pretty much renounced any dream beyond staying clean and no longer inflicting pain on anyone; and Fountainhead (Bill Heck), a Porsche-driving overachiever-turned-crackhead, struggling even to get through Day One of recovery. The forum is moderated with a mix of Zen-like calm, affection and strictness by Haikumom (Liza Colón-Zayas). Her connection to the characters beyond the chat room is revealed right before intermission, allowing for painful history to be raked over in Act II. Hudes' play is an odd mix, and not without flaws, not least because too much of its running time is given over to people talking across cyberspace rather than physically interacting. As recovering addicts, their behavior doesn't always ring true. But while those sections of the play are somewhat emotionally distancing, there's also real feeling beneath the playwright's characters and persuasive evidence of her genuine love for them. They are all people living one day at a time, as the metaphor of the title suggests. It helps also that these are not the standard dysfunctional-family types trotted out in so much new American drama. PHOTOS: Tonys 2012 Post-Show Gala It's not likely to go down among the great Pulitzer winning plays, but Water by the Spoonful showcases a distinctive voice from a young dramatist best known for her book for the Tony winning musical In the Heights. If the writing occasionally lacks muscle, it compensates with large amounts of compassion, becoming unexpectedly moving in the final stretch. Hudes also shows an agreeable willingness to leave frayed ends in place for the next chapter, rather than pushing for too-tidy resolutions. Director Davis McCallum draws sensitive work from the entire cast, all of them fully tapped into the idiosyncrasies and melancholy humor of the playwright's characters. Riesco in particular is a find. Keeping the action suspended between "real" and online worlds, Neil Patel's set design is dominated by the shifting walls of a mosaic that evokes both a vast communication network and lush stretches of Puerto Rican rainforest. The foundations are clearly laid here for the third part of the trilogy, The Happiest Song Plays Last, which premieres in April at Chicago's Goodman Theatre.
