When Herreshoff ruled the waves
Newport will be the final stop of the 2011-2012 AC World Series June 26 to July 1. Designed to expose millions more people to the sport of high-performance racing, the new professional circuit was created to bring the America's Cup to a number of international ports and introduce people to a new style of yacht-building and a new style of yacht.
But people who were brought up on dramatic pictures of classic-looking Herreshoff-like beauties attempting to steal each other's wind will be in for a bit of a surprise. It's been a while since Newport was the sole focus of international sailing competition and they may have missed the introduction of a radically different type of sailing craft, the AC45 wing-sailed catamaran.
Bristol historian and Cranston native Richard V. Simpson figured now would be a good time to put all the America's Cup history he has been gathering for years to good use.
As a retired graphic designer for the Navy, he has never been more than a stone's throw from salt water, so it's no surprise that he just published "The Quest for the America's Cup: Sailing to Victory" (The History Press 2012).
"I grew up in Cranston, on Bay View Avenue, and I was always impressed with sailboats I saw in Edgewood," he said. "I thought sailing looked pretty nifty, but I didn't know how to go about it."
But young Simpson, a product of St. Paul School and La Salle Academy, did know how to go about history.
"I always liked history and I did much of my early reading at the Hall Library," he said, "but I went on to the School of Practical Art [now the Art Institute of Boston] and became a graphic artist."
After a variety of positions in that field, Simpson ended up working for the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, where his love of history merged with the excellent library and archives there and he spent a good deal of his spare time poring over old letters, manuscripts and books about naval warfare. When he retired in 1996, he began spending even more time at the center doing research for what turned into a book, "Building the Mosquito Fleet: U.S. Navy's First Torpedo Boats," which introduced him to the Herreshoff family and its legacy of boat designs.
"Captain Nat Herreshoff designed one of the first torpedo boats and I had the good luck to have access to all the records and drawings," Simpson revealed in the Center's research material on torpedoes. "It was a great place to study old torpedoes. You know, most people think of the torpedo as a modern weapon, but the first wire-guided torpedo was done long before the first wire-guided missile. Torpedoes go back over 150 years."
Simpson said he already has more than 55,000 works on the subject of torpedoes and admits it's probably time to put the book out to publishers, but he has been distracted by other subjects, like local history, since 1967, when he wrote "A History of the Italian-Roman Catholic Church in Bristol, RI;" "Independence Day;" and a number of other local subjects.
But, as a longtime resident of Bristol, it was inevitable that Simpson would become familiar with the Herreshoffs and the legacy of that family in Bristol and Rhode Island.
"When I first came to Bristol, I started seeing some of the really great sailboats and I started researching the Herreshoff designs that came out of that company, which, of course, led to the America's Cup. In fact, it was the America's Cup coming back to Rhode Island that prompted me to do the book. I already had the research done. It was just a question of organizing it and sending it off."
The material Simpson pulled together comes from all sorts of sources, from memoirs of Nat Herreshoff to magazines from the 19th century, Leslie's and Harper's and even English journals, including a visit to the first America after it won the first competition off the Isle of Wight in 1851.
"As Commodore Stevens was handing the young monarch down the companionway, the Prince Consort was sternly ordered by Captain Brown to wipe his royal feet. 'I guess you don't know who I am,' said the Prince. 'I don't give a damn who you are, you'll wipe your feet before you go down to my cabin [the writer describes how the Queen herself ran a glove over a shelf on the boat looking for dust she didn't find]…A gold compass with a letter from Her Majesty, expressing the hope that he would keep it as neat as he had the America, was Captain Brown's reward [for cleanliness]…'"
Simpson traces the history of the cup's most famous designs, its triumphs, its defeats and its many characters, from the ill-tempered and un-sportsman-like Earl of Dunraven, who refused to accept that he was beaten by the Americans and accused them of cheating. He was ultimately expelled as an honorary member of the New York Yacht Club, apparently the only person ever to be disrespected by the club that way.
There is also Sir Thomas Johnstone Lipton, the fabulously successful tea merchant who couldn't buy an America's Cup design anywhere but remained in the memory of American yachtsmen as the exact opposite of Dunraven, even though some people thought he was as much interested in keeping Lipton tea in the public eye as he was about sailing extravagantly expensive boats.
Simpson does call a spade a spade in his book and very early on reminds the reader that the boats that contested for the America's Cup were pretty much useless for any other purpose and they were usually scrapped for the bronze sheathing on their hulls.
"They used to polish the bronze so it looked like gold," said Simpson. "Beautiful to see but also to make the boat move through the water faster."
One yacht that survived to the present day, but that was an extreme exception, the Endeavor, was a challenger representing England in 1934. It passed through several owners after avoiding the scrap heap and ended up in Narragansett Bay and owned by Elizabeth Meyer, who completed the restoration of it and chartered it out for about 15 years before it was sold to an international businessman for $13.1 million in 2006, who intended to base it in the Cayman Islands, of course.
It remains to be seen if today's America's Cup challengers and defenders will fetch such prices when they are retired. Right now, it's hard to imagine the composite-based catamaran with wing sails will stir the nostalgia for the old boats that Richard V. Simpson's book evokes, but the most amazing thing about Simpson's book is that he brings those old boats alive even though he has never actually sailed a boat himself.
"I've been on power boats, but I have never been out sailing," said Simpson. "Halsey Herreshoff has promised to take me out but we haven't got around to it yet."
The America's Cup races will be held Sept. 7 to 22, 2013 in San Francisco.

It wasn't exactly a rave review, but after the Lakers' three-game road trip, Mike D'Antoni's assessment of the team's defense was "We're getting a little bit better."
Forty-seven seconds into the third period, a fuming D'Antoni called a timeout. The Minesota Timberwolves had scored only a basket.
Less than five minutes later, he was calling another timeout.
It was a night in which nothing the Lakers were going to do was going to stop Minnesota, which shot its way to a 113-90 victory Sunday night.
The Lakers were out of it as soon as Kevin Love and Kevin Martin took off their warmups and began hitting 3-pointers and other assorted shots. The Timberwolves rolled to a 47-23 lead after the first quarter, building a 28-point lead along the way. The 47 points were a franchise record and the fifth-most the Lakers have ever allowed in a quarter.
It got worse when guard Steve Nash didn't return for the second half after reporting he had back pain. He'll be examined today by Dr. Robert Watkins.
"I've been feeling it recently. It's coming on," Nash said. "We'll see what the doc says and what course of action we'll take. My back and hamstring and the nerve has been bothering me for a while now. Tonight I started limping. That was it.
"The pain is always there. That's not as much of a concern as when you're so limited. You're limping and trying to get off your left leg the whole time and then you just can't be effective. You're making it worse. I'm trying to play through it, but it was diminishing returns."
It didn't take D'Antoni long to notice it.
"He was struggling physically, you could just see it on his face," D'Antoni said. "And that's why I took him out and we shut him down, more or less."
Just as painful for D'Antoni is watching the Lakers open the game not able to match the firepower the Timberwolves brought. Minnesota went 16 for 21 from the field in the first quarter for 76.2 percent, but was even better on 3-point shots (78 percent).
Love was 5 for 6, Martin made both of his shots and Ricky Rubio even added a 3-pointer.
"We came out soft, we didn't get into anybody, they felt it, they made some tough shots but they did score 47 points and I don't care what kind of shots they made," D'Antoni said. "There just wasn't enough intensity into the defense and we paid for it. After that, we kind of settled down but we were down 20."
But as much as it is a mindset, the Lakers are still searching for the right combinations. If Nash is out for any period, that shuffling figures to go on.
"Sometimes we don't have enough speed on the floor and that hurts," D'Antoni said. "Sometimes you get away with it, but we've got to find a way to get more speed. We come out slow, and you can't play this game slow."
The Lakers chipped away a couple of times, but never got closer than 14 points on a night of historical significance. After all, the Timberwolves ended a 22-game losing streak to the Lakers.
"We knew, the guys that had played here, we had talked about it and that we hadn't had much success," Love said. "But we weren't thinking about anything numbers-wise."
By halftime, Love had 20 of his 25 points and Martin had 19 of his 27. Rubio had a triple-double with 12 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds.
To make matters worse for the Lakers and far easier for Minnesota, 10 turnovers in the first half led to 19 of the Timberwolves' points.
Pau Gasol's offensive struggles continued. Starting alongside Chris Kaman again, he made only 4 of 11 shots and scored nine points. In the previous two games, Gasol made only 4 of 22 shots and scored 11 points, including a two-point output in Houston.
Gasol, of course, is himself still trying to round into full health after having procedures on both knees in May, in addition to battling a recent respiratory ailment.
"I felt better," Gasol said. "I'm breathing a little better, so that's going to help me feel a little better. I look forward to continuing to improve physically and performance-wise."
Steve Blake and Jodie Meeks, the backcourt duo that started the second half together, tried to keep the Lakers in it. Blake led the Lakers with 19 points and Meeks had 16.
But even after that early timeout in the third quarter, the Timberwolves kept rolling and kicked their lead up to 82-53. But by the end of the quarter, the Lakers cut their deficit to 90-76 entering the final period.

Help name our MakerSpace!
Even though we do enjoy the Bozeman MakerSpace name, I think we can do better. We will be running a contest in a couple of months in order to officially select a name that will include some prizes for the most creative, funniest, and finally the selected name.
Post the name(s) you think we should consider when naming our makerspace in the comments below, or submit it via our feedback form here.
but I really do think that Bozeman Makerspace is a good name. Other more creative names are nice, but they aren't terribly descriptive for an outsider or a new potential member. I came across this group via a poster at the Daily, and I can say that if it was called something like Nerd Invasion or Overlord Industries, I probably wouldn't have given it second thought, mistaking it for another LAN party group or something similar. Whatever the name ends up being, I think it's important that it's descriptive of the group and its aims.
So far, I agree with Nerd Invasion the most. But I think it kinda lacks description. Montana Ethical Hackers(MEH) has had surprising success using our tongue-in-cheek name as a viral recruiting tool. Yeah, it worries parents, but our younger generation loves it. MEH lacks description too and the Feds keep trying to fund us... but none of us want attachment and dependence on federal government. Plus it's viral. I always hated apathy.
Bozeman Makerspace is okay, but it sounds so corporate and institutionalized. That's what the University is for. You guys are different. I think you need to set a tone for the community you want to have in the future.
You can always DBA something else if you choose to go the acronym route. The darn Argentinians already have "BAH"... but BLARG, BAM and BOMB aren't taken. BAM is okay. How about Bozeman's Artisan Makers? It's not really hackerly... at all, but it would be easier for you to get grants.
I think it needs to be edgier than BAM. Replace the A with something?... or perhaps use a collaboration of ideas: BOMB(Bozeman's Obdurant Makerspace of Bozeman). Hmmm... might give people the wrong Idea. LOL but come on, it's funny! Nah... you run a risk of bringing light to too much liability dangers. I like using Bozeman twice. Hmmm.. what about BOT Space? That one hasn't been used... But now to make it descriptive... Bozeman's Obscure Technology Space? That would be perfect!
So I suggest(in order of preference):
BOTS or BOT-Space or BOTechS or BObsTechS or BozObsTeSpac
BLARG<-- ^_^ yay! I just couldn't make it work though
Hope I helped a little,
RobotHouse Productions -- got the idea from an episode of Futurama.
Zephram Cochrane Institute -- Bozeman local, invented the warp drive in 2063
R.I.F -- Resistance is Futile.
I just joined this organization literally 5 minutes ago, figured I'd throw some ideas out there. Honestly I'm pretty happy with Bozeman MakerSpace.
<insert signature here>
Bozeman Legion of Artisan Makers? (BLAM!)

The private mobile phone numbers of hundreds of federal politicians, former prime ministers and senior political staffers have been inadvertently published online in an embarrassing blunder by a government department.
The Department of Parliamentary Services failed to properly delete the numbers before it published the most recent round of politicians' phone bills on the Parliament House website, potentially compromising the privacy and security of MPs from cabinet ministers down.
While in previous years the numbers were taken out of the PDF documents altogether, this time it appears the font was merely turned white - meaning they could still be accessed using copy and paste.
That would have been a nice list to have.

Like any art medium, poetry is a manifestation of the culture that engenders it, and traditional forms can provide an especial understanding of a society's beliefs.
For instance, the English heroic couplet, with its solid end rhymes, reflects the British values of propriety and order.
The three-lined Italian terza rima stanza (think Dante's Divine Comedy) highlights the importance of the number three, a celebration of the Holy Trinity.
And haiku, the most economic of forms, conveys a Japanese Buddhist understanding of nature as eternal, with humans as a component but not the star.
Then these forms come to America, where their hard rules are liquefied in our melting pot of freedom before they are deep-fried and super-sized, served on a Styrofoam plate of cultural appropriation.
We here at the Alibi are nothing if not champions of bastard art forms, and really, bastards in general. So, we present to you the winners of the 20th annual Haiku Contest. Thousands of American-style haiku from hundreds of entrants made their way to our special underground poetry lair where each poem was lovingly touched and considered, regardless of its parentage. During this process, a few things became clear:
One: It is almost impossible to write a good erotic haiku but entirely possible to write really very icky ones.
Two: A disturbing number of high school students who were forced to enter the contest don't know who Mitt Romney is. Because information is so hard to access these days. C'mon, kids! I wore a Mondale button to the third grade. Get it together.
Three: More haiku should be written about early '90s rap because it cannot NOT be good.
A heartfelt thank you to all who took the time to share your work. Each winner will receive a $20 certificate to ABQ Brew Pub, a $10 certificate to Purple Pink Rhino and a $10 certificate to El Norteño Restaurant. To claim your prize, please go to the Alibi offices at 413 Central NW and do a dance.

The chart below shows this morning's regular Tuesday-Thursday ride, and references distance, speed, climbing, heart-rate… all the usual things that the usual people use to determine how tough the ride was.
But is that really enough?
What about road conditions (clearly 100k on nicely-paved roads is a lot easier than the same distance on rutted trails), the bike you're riding, and how you're feeling on a given day? For the most part we compare road rides to other road rides, and off-road rides to other off-road rides, and how you're feeling is pretty subjective. And for the bike, we'll just assume everyone's riding the fastest, smoothest-riding, best-handling bike there is (obviously, a Trek 6-Series Madone, which we'll be happy to sell you!).
How about weather? If we want to come up with a truly insane ride, something epic, shouldn't weather factor in? That's where that last set of numbers come in. Temperature. A two-hour ride with an average temperature of 33F. Just one degree above freezing. A minimum temperature of 24.8F. Maximum 48.2 (probably just outside my east-facing garage, which the sun had heated up). How much cred do George, Kevin, Kevin, Eric, Todd and I get for riding when it's that cold outside?
Truth be told, we were pretty comfortable, partly because we dressed appropriately (even stopping a couple times to add or remove windbreakers), partly because we know enough to ride at a consistent pace so the motor keeps the body warm but doesn't run out of gas, and partly because we enjoy talking to each other about our recent rides (George just got back from the UCI Cyclocross Masters World Championships, where he took 8th place!) and what's going on in our lives. Nevertheless, cold is a starkly-definable and easily-dealt-with adversity compared to the rain that is coming our way shortly.
It's tough to assign a number or otherwise quickly define an epic rain ride. "It was crazy out there, trees blown down, rain so hard your eyes were constantly stinging from the sweat washing down your forehead, and almost no cars on the road because sensible people were staying home rather than driving in that muck!" Yeah, I've had those rides, and during the 3 or 4 day window where people really remember what the weather had been like that day, you get substantial street cred. After that, it's just another ride in the rain.
But a number defining the temperature doesn't lie, and translates equally well to the physically-fit and the couch potato. 24.8 degrees. That's a number that will define today's ride tonight, tomorrow, next month, 5 years from now, without degredation. At least until I figure out a way to see if my Garmin is reading correctly and not 3-4 degrees too low, which might be the case. 🙂 –Mike–

International Standard Bible EncyclopediaLAKE
lak (limne): The word is used (Luke 5:1, 2; Luke 8:22, 23, 33) of the Lake of Gennesaret or Sea of Galilee, and (Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:10, 14, 15; Revelation 21:8) of the "lake of fire and brimstone." Lakes are not abundant in Syria and Palestine. The Dead Sea, which might be called a lake, is in most places in English Versions of the Bible called the Salt Sea. It is called by the Arabs Bachr Lut, Sea of Lot. It is a question whether the Waters of Merom (Joshua 11:5, 7) can be identified with the Chuleh, a marshy lake in the course of the Upper Jordan, North of the Sea of Galilee. East of Damascus on the edge of the desert there are saltish lakes in which the water of the rivers of Damascus (see 2 Kings 5:12) is gathered and evaporates. In the Lebanon West of Ba`albek is the small Lake Yammuneh, which is fed by copious springs, but whose water disappears in the latter part of the summer, being drained off by subterranean channels. The Lake of Kums on the Orontes is artificial, though ancient. On the lower Orontes is the Lake of Antioch.
(limne tou puros): Found in Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:10, 14 (bis), 15. Revelation 21:8 has "the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone." The brimstone in connection with "the lake of fire" occurs also in Revelation 19:20 and 10, the latter being a backward reference to the former passage. In Revelation 20:14 the words, "This is the second death, even the lake of fire" are either a gloss originally intended to elucidate 20:15 through a reference to 20:6, or, if part of the text, formed originally the close of 20:15, whence they became displaced on account of the identity of the words once immediately preceding them in 20:15 with the words now preceding them in 20:14. The "lake of fire" can be called "the second death" only with reference to the lost among men (20:15), not with reference to death and Hades (20:14). In all the above references "the lake of fire" appears as a place of punishment, of perpetual torment, not of annihilation (20:10). The beast (19:20); the pseudo-prophet (19:20; 20:10); the devil (20:10); the wicked of varying description (20:15; 21:8), are cast into it. When the same is affirmed of death and Hades (20:14), it is doubtful whether this is meant as a mere figure for the cessation of these two evils personified, or has a more realistic background in the existence of two demon-powers so named (compare Isaiah 25:8 1 Corinthians 15:26, 54;; 2 Esdras 7:31). The Scriptural source for the conception of "the lake of fire" lies in Genesis 19:24, where already the fire and the brimstone occur together, while the locality of the catastrophe described is the neighborhood of the Dead Sea. The association of the Dead Sea with this fearful judgment of God, together with the desolate appearance of the place, rendered it a striking figure for the scene of eschatological retribution. The two other Old Testament passages which have "fire and brimstone" (Psalm 11:6 Ezekiel 38:22) are dependent on the Genesis passage, with which they have the figure of "raining" in common. In Revelation 21:8, "their part" seems to allude to Psalm 11:6, "the portion of their cup." In Enoch 67:4; the Dead Sea appears as the place of punishment for evil spirits. Of late it has been proposed to derive "the lake of fire" from "the stream of fire" which destroys the enemies of Ahura in the Zoroastrian eschatology; so Bousset, Die Offenbarung Johannis, 1906, 433, 434. But the figures of a stream and a lake are different; compare 2 Esdras 13:9-11, where a stream of fire proceeds from the mouth of the Messiah for the destruction of His enemies. Besides, the Persian fire is, in part, a fire of purification, and not of destruction only (Bousset, 442), and even in the apocalyptic Book of Enoch, the fires of purification and of punishment are not confounded (compare Enoch 67:4 with 90:20). The Old Testament fully explains the entire conception.

John 21:1 After this, Jesus again showed Himself to the disciples. It was at the Lake of Tiberias. The circumstances were as follows.
Revelation 19:20 The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked the signs in his sight, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
Revelation 20:10 The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are also. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Revelation 20:14 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:15 If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21:8 But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."
Deuteronomy 33:23 For Yahweh's portion is his people. Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
Job 14:11 The waters recede from the lake, and the river wasteth and drieth up:

Skip to comments.Exclusive: Classified cable warned consulate couldn't withstand 'coordinated attack'
Posted on 10/31/2012 4:48:08 PM PDT by tsowellfan
The U.S. Mission in Benghazi convened an emergency meeting less than a month before the assault that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, because Al Qaeda had training camps in Benghazi and the consulate could not defend against a coordinated attack, according to a classified cable reviewed by Fox News.
Summarizing an Aug. 15 emergency meeting convened by the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, the Aug. 16 cable marked SECRET said that the State Departments senior security officer, also known as the RSO, did not believe the consulate could be protected...
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Totally crashes the "it was an inflammatory video" excuse.
You had an ambassador and communication professional (Smith) who were guarded by the February 17th Martyrs Brigade.
Were they trafficking heavy arms to Syria? Probably. Were they doing something hinky? Definitely.
Was what they were doing likely the province of the CIA? Most definitely.
Had people, including Stevens, raised alarm bells about the lack of security? Yup!
Was the CIA looking in on outright incompetence, while literally within earshot of rifle fire? Yes!
This all display Obamas ideology, long held paranoia and bias world view. Im sure Obama and his people thought what Stevens was doing was sexy, because it was risky. Of coarse, a leftist cant trust rank and file CIA, right? The CIA killed Che, Obamas hero, Obama is the self styled Che of the new Islamic caliphate.
Again, you cant trust the CIA, that is until your getting your ass shot off in a third world hell hole and your leftist party friends leave you for dead.
Stevens and Smith were expendable to Obama, but they werent expendable to Woods and Doherty.
Sean Hannity on Benghazi Audio Tapes: Ive Heard They Are Damning (Video at link)
(not sure if this was posted on FR yet. If not and you feel it should have its own thread, feel free to post it)
This is looking more sinister to me.
I start from the premise that The Disaster wanted someone killed in this affair in that consulate. I'm thinking it was the ambassador but not because of gun running.
He wanted him killed in order to make a "Gay Hero" out of him right before the election. There would have been an orgy of propaganda for Queer Marriage and he could have ridden it to re-election. I know this sounds weird but they have known for months that The Disaster is losing big time and are desperate.
If his security did not think the consulate could be protected from a coordinated attack, what was the ambassador doing there on Sept. 11....and with no extra security?
He was running guns to terrorists in Syria through the Turks. The Turks left the meeting with Stevens without incident. Once the Turks left, the attacks started.
A better question who be, why did Stevens meet with the Turks in Benghazi instead of Tripoli? I can only image it is safer in Tripoli, more comfortable in Tripoli and a whole lot easier to fly into Tripoli. My tentative answer is there is something tangible in Benghazi of mutual interest to Stevens and the Turks. I think when we know what was stored at the CIA Annex, then we will know the answer.
A little knowledge of history may help in understanding the Ottoman's desire for a Caliphate and at what lengths that they will go to establish their empire again.
Yeah, it sounds a little wacky, but I take our enemies seriously, whether they are external or internal.
The admin is going to burn for this.
obama-"I wasn't told anything about that."
Have the left started condemning Foxnews for revealing a classified cable yet?
Of course, we'll be seeing similar reports on the other networks.... right?
Could it be that the Turks (and The Traitor) came up with an excuse to lure the Amb to Benghazi?
IOW had Amb Stevens outgrown his usefulness and it was time for him to go. so they lure him straight into a trap.
does anyone else wonder what our other ambassadors throughout the world could be doing, besides their job, with the secret help of The Traitor?
Also interesting story discussing that Benghazi neighbors witnessed checkpoints set up around the perimeter of the consulate while Stevens and the Turkish diplomat were meeting. The checkpoint was manned by militants. The Turkish diplomat would have had to pass thru them to leave, yet he said nothing to alert Stevens as to whAt was transpiring outside the compound.

Fossilised dinosaur vertebra showing a tumour, United States, Triassic Age
Disease has a very long history on Earth. Dating from the Triassic era – approximately 200 to 251 million years ago – this fossilised dinosaur vertebrae is an extraordinarily early example of a tumour. It is thought to be a form of arthritis, where the soft tissue hardens around bone. The fossil was excavated in Arizona, USA, between 1860 and 1920. The bone was originally in the collection of Roy Moodie (1880-1934), an American paleopathologist who studied prehistoric disease.

406 Lincoln St, Unit 310, Marlborough
Type: Condo
Living area: 1,743 square feet
Rooms: Three bedrooms, two full baths
Lot size: Common
Year built: 1920
Taxes: $5,150
Association fee: $162.50
Asking price: $375,000
"Urban-style" expansive and light-filled, two-level condo/loft without the urban price. Impressive six-foot-plus windows, exposed brick, beams, soaring 21-foot ceilings and designer lighting. A blend of open concept living and three enclosed bedrooms. Gleaming granite and stainless kitchen complete with island/breakfast bar and gas range/hood. Potential first-floor master and building elevator create one-floor living experience. Venture out for the roof deck, cafe and art studio.
The name of the Renaissance Lofts captures the revival of the French Hill neighborhood this adaptive reuse has helped spark.
Developer Deborah Fairbanks has transformed the former Marlborough Wire Goods factory to house condominiums, artists studios and a coffee shop that hosts music and poetry-readings.
The smell of beans brewing at the Coffee Loft next door drifts through the entrance lobby of the condominium complex where an award from the Marlborough Historical Society honoring Fairbanks for her preservation efforts hangs on the wall of exposed brick.
A center courtyard exposed to the sky gives an Old World feel. An expansive roof-deck surveys the surrounding housetops. The sense is one of urban sophistication. Earlier this year the Chronicle program on WCVB Channel 5 spotlighted the Renaissance Lofts development as a bellwether of a cultural revival in this city.
The entire renovation has been done using green materials, noted listing agent Cindy Gordon of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, who said developer Fairbanks "really has been able to preserve the original structure and character of the building while making the lofts contemporary, with all the modern conveniences, and energy-efficient."
Unit 310, a three-bedroom, 1,743-square-foot condo selling for $375,000, is one of three units left for sale in the development. Gordon describes it as one of the "most unique" listings she has had.
The kitchen area is contemporary in style with a range hood suspended from the ceiling over the granite-topped island with gas cooktop. The appliances are stainless, the cabinets are wood, painted black, and the floor is stained concrete. The kitchen window over the sink looks out to a lobby for a freight elevator, providing easy access when returning with groceries.
The interior has an industrial feel, with futuristic light fixtures and exposed girders, brick, pipes and beams. Across the wooden ceiling with skylights runs an old air duct. Gordon describes the look as "modern design meets old industrial."
The great room is aptly named, with a 21-foot-high vaulted ceiling, and four 74-by-32 east-facing windows filling the room with light. Prints of New York and London on the wall add to an urban feel.
Black-and-white tiles give the first-floor full bath with attached laundry a retro feel. A first-floor bedroom with enormous windows currently being used as a child's room could serve as a first-floor master bedroom. The unit has three private bedrooms in all, two on the first floor, and the third, on the upper level, used by the current owners as their master bedroom
Overlooking the great room is the loft, with specially designed glass panels, and a blue color scheme the current homeowner chose to evoke the sky. An office in the loft is illuminated by a skylight. The upper-floor master suite includes a bath with a slate floor and multi-head shower, and a bedroom with a skylight and two windows over the bed that look down on great room.
Current owners David and Slava Turetsky have lived here for three years. Their residence "provides tranquility in the middle of the city," David Turetsky said, as well as "interesting experiences with wonderful neighbors who love to share time together." Turetsky, who works at ADP on Felton Street in Marlborough, added: "I love my 1.3-mile commute." With a 10-month-old child, though, they plan to move to a new home with a yard.
On a recent morning, a refreshing breeze blew across the sunny roof deck, with a common area used for taking in the rays and for get-togethers with neighbors. The central courtyard open to the roof presents another venue for socializing. One challenge presented by having a courtyard open to sky - the prevalence of pigeons - is to be addressed by the installation of barriers to prevent the birds from roosting.
"This is a very unique property with urban amenities: a beautifully restored 1920 factory building with original character, and easy access to highways for commuter," Gordon said. "It provides an urban living experience at a fraction of the cost of Boston, Somerville or Cambridge."
Next door at the Coffee Loft, an art-lined cafe where bands play on Friday and Saturday nights and poetry readings are hosted on Thursdays, Raven Monette, 19, of Marlborough, worked the counter this past Saturday morning.
She grew up on Chestnut Street, a few blocks away, and remembers when the condos were the Space Age Electronics plant where her grandmother worked, and when the parking lot was the site of the rough-and-tumble Highland House bar, now gone.
"No one expects to find us here," Monette said, with a smile. "Deb [Fairbanks] is definitely trying to 'culturize' the area."
Coffee shop co-worker Jake Schlehuber, 18, of Marlborough, said, "People tell us, 'You should be in Cambridge.' Everyone's excited for what's to come."

Stocks continue to trade sideways on light volume as investors await Bernanke's speech, which is scheduled for Friday morning from the Fed's annual summit in Jackson Hole. (Read More: Confronting the Crisis - The Fed at Jackson Hole.)
As we mentioned in our market commentary a couple of weeks ago, this summit has been closely watched over the past couple of years.
Two years ago, Bernanke used the summit not to announce any new policies, but to signal a strong proclivity for additional bond purchases. What is now commonly referred to as "QE2" was formally announced a couple months later on November 3, 2010 (immediately following the mid-term elections).
At last year's meeting, Bernanke also failed to unveil any specific easing programs. However, he announced that the Fed's scheduled meeting the following month would be extended for an additional day so that the committee could debate the plan for additional action. "Operation Twist" was announced at that September meeting, and Jackson Hole was solidified as the Fed's telegraphing forum. (Read More: The Heat Is on Bernanke, But Will He Say Anything?)
We are two years removed from that first market-moving Jackson Hole summit and we find our selves in the same predicament — economic growth remains weak and job creation is not what it needs to be. So is the market wrong to expect big things from Jackson Hole again? If history is any guide, investors might actually be justified in expecting more market gains.
Following the 2010 Jackson Hole summit, the S&P 500 rose 30 percent through late April, 2011. And stocks rose over 20 percent following the August, 2011 summit — through early April, 2012. If you were sure that Bernanke & Company were preparing further action, it would seem like a pretty good bet to allocate a little more money to stocks, wouldn't it? (Read More: More Fed Easing 'A Close Call': Fed's Lockhart)
For my part, I'm not so sure that the Fed has yet decided on further action. I continue to believe that additional quantitative easing (learn more), if it indeed comes, will be announced following the elections. (And incidentally, the bond market seems to agree with me with the yield on the 10-year Treasury having risen over 0.25 percent in recent weeks).
Bernanke has done a very effective job of talking stocks higher without actually committing to further action, but we think there are too many arguments in favor of a wait-and-see approach at this point. It's likely that the most we can hope for before the electionsmay be an extension of the pledge to keep the Fed Funds rate low (perhaps through 2015). Consider the following arguments against further QE prior to the elections:
- Perhaps most importantly, aggressive Fed action so close to the election may be construed as a political move.
- Our strong suspicion for several years now has been that the Fed is most worried about the housing market. To the extent that recent data have been supportive of a recovery in housing (home sales, home prices), more Fed members may be less inclined to assume the risks of further easing.
- Recent economic data, including Retail Sales and July Non-farm Payrolls, have been promising. While it is true that this data was for only one month (following several months of weak data), we think the Fed will at least want to see if a new trend is developing, and the first data point in this process is next Friday's August employment report.
- The situation in Europe has stabilized a bit (for now), with yields on sovereign debt falling in recent weeks.
- The Fed wants to keep as much dry powder as it can in the event that Congress is unable to address the fallout from the fiscal cliff. (Read More: Dick Bove - Ignore Fiscal Cliff, Buy Stocks)

SuperNanny to the rescue
This morning princess told me in a calm, unequivocally confident tone "I'm not afraid of you!"
WTH am I supposed to do with that? She's four and notwithstanding the myriad of issues that I'm already facing (and I say "I'm facing" because Daddy doesn't get down like that) I can't imagine it getting any worse.
I need SuperNanny to come to my house to straighten this chick out because I have no idea what to do and I'm pretty fed up with her constant opposition.
She's four!!!!!!

Spotlight on Green: Color Inspiration
We don't usually see green as anything more than an accent color in interior design, as it tends to overpower even the most balanced room. However, pieces of pretty, green furniture are the perfect way to introduce the color into a room without crowding the eye.
1. A fresh take on a teen bedroom with lime green accents, from Blossom Studios.
2. A modern, serene dining area with Ming Side Chairs from Crate and Barrel, $199.
3. Green chic: a living room with green side pieces from Martha Stewart.
4. My favorite: a super-sleek and spicy sitting area, from Home Tone.
5. Another Martha Stewart gem: monochromatic hallway with matching seating vignette.
6. Made from 111 recycled plastic Coke bottles, the 111 Navy Chair, available from Design Within Reach in a variety of colors (including green!), $260.
7. A fun hallway accent or unexpected work area: the Vika Glasholm/Vika Adils glass table from IKEA, $39.99.
8. Slim and minimal, the C-Table in a variety of colors from Room & Board, $199.
9. You don't have to waste your green to get green! Check out the inexpensive Sofa Bed Futon from Target in Intense Jade, $161.49.
10. Or go completely classic, with the Atelier Chesterfield sofa in bottle green, available from Anthropologie, $5,998.

Goal: Attend the Advanced Erlang/OTP course and eventually pass the Erlang certification exam.
Duration: Three days.
Registration: 08:30 on 21st March 2011.
Venue: Hilton San Francisco Airport Hotel.
Description: The course contains all the Erlang basics such as sequential and concurrent programming, along side error handling. The Erlang development environment is presented, with a special emphasis on the Erlang mode for Emacs alongside the major debugging tools. Good and bad programming practices are discussed, as are tools used to profile the system. OTP design principles and concepts are sneaked into the material as well as the exercises.
Course Contents:
- Introduction
- Basic Erlang
- Sequential Programming
- Concurrent Programming
- Process Design Patterns
- Process Error Handling
- Code Updating
- ETS tables
- Distributed Programming
- Ports and Sockets
Introduction to the software needs of telecom control systems, followed by a history of Erlang, its features, and product and research examples within and outside Ericsson.
Basic Erlang
This section deals with Erlang data types and pattern matching. Functions, modules, and BIFs are discussed. Before the exercises, the Erlang shell, useful shell commands as well as Emacs and its Erlang mode are introduced.
Sequential Programming
The Sequential Programming section comprehends conditional evaluations, guards and scope of variables. It then introduces recursion, with a special emphasis on different recursive patterns, tail recursion, and space saving optimizations. Before the exercises, libraries and their manual pages, possible run time errors and the debugger are demonstrated.
Concurrent Programming
This section describes the creation of processes and their life span. It looks at sending and receiving messages, selective reception, and passing data in the messages. It continues with the various uses of time outs and registering processes, and terminates by showing the generic process code structure. Before the exercises, a demonstration of the Process Manager tool is given.
Process Design Patterns
This section introduces the concept of process patterns, preparing the students for the OTP behaviours. It gives a detailed example of a client server system, looks at finite state machines and event handlers. Synchronous versus asynchronous message passing is discussed.
Process Error Handling
This section introduces the simple but powerful error handling mechanisms in processes. It looks at process links, exit signals and their propagation semantics. How robust systems are built in Erlang are discussed, and an example from the Process Design Patterns section is re-implemented, making it robust.
Code Updating
The section introduces software upgrade during run time. The error handler, the code server, and code search paths are covered, as is the .erlang file.
ETS tables
An introduction to the Erlang Term Storage is given, together with its different table options. Examples on when to use and not to use ETS tables are covered. A demonstration of the table visualizer is provided.
Distributed Programming
An introduction to the requirements of distributed systems is given, and how Erlang is able to fill these requirements. The distribution syntax and semantics are covered, followed by the BIFs and the net kernel.
Ports and Sockets
An introduction of the mechanisms used to make Erlang more open are taken up in this section. Ports, for external communication within the same machine, and Sockets, for communication on IP networks are discussed. The difference between TCP and UDP is described.

Now, all Mackie employees are loyal fans of the brand, but not all are willing to blanket their rides with Mackie decals (although you can see more than a few "running man" decals in the parking lot). Anyway, Lead Graphic Designer Jayme Delma was quick to ask why he wanted so many decals.
It turns out that Nick was scheduled to race his Subaru WRX in Cle Elum, WA for the Under The Wires Rally X event and when it came time for him to choose his race car number, he could think of no better number than 450. You know, like SRM450, the world's best-selling portable powered loudspeaker…or SRM450v2, boasting more power, clarity and punch than ever before. But I digress, Jayme not only fulfilled his request, but had some custom vinyls created for the sweet rally car.
The day of the event came and not only did Nick roll up in the best looking car in the competition, he also brought along a pair of SRM450v2 loudspeakers for exciting turn-by-turn announcements.
Check out a little bit of footage from the event and join us in congratulating Nick on a job well done.

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced today that it has released comprehensive enforcement and litigation statistics for Fiscal Year 2001 (October 1, 2000, through September 30, 2001). According to the new data, posted online at www.eeoc.gov, total discrimination charges filed against private employers increased one percent from the previous year to 80,840 - the highest level since the mid-1990s.
The types of discrimination with the highest rate of increase in FY 2001, compared to the prior year, were allegations of discrimination based on age (one and one-half percentage point increase) and disability (one-half percentage point increase). All other types of charge filings either declined slightly (less than one-half percentage point) or remained level compared to FY 2000.
"The incidence rate of age and disability discrimination appears to be on the rise with the graying of America," said EEOC Chair Cari M. Dominguez. "Employers must be vigilant in preventing such characteristics from being factored into their employment decisions."
In addition to the rise in workplace bias filings, the FY 2001 data also show:
Of the 80,840 total charges (1) filed with EEOC, the most frequent types of discrimination alleged were based on:
Other types of charge filings included allegations based on:
EEOC enforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; the Equal Pay Act; Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits employment discrimination against individuals with disabilities in the private sector and state and local governments; prohibitions against discrimination affecting individuals with disabilities in the federal government; and sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1991.

bernardo needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 158 designs submitted by 53 freelance designers.
We are searching for a new logo of our portal http://baby-boom.at
The website will be redesigned after a new logo has been found, thus we can give you all the creative freedom that you need!
Please make sure to read the description if you want to participate.
Baby-Boom.at (case-insensitive, doesn't matter which characters are uppercase and which not)
Baby-Boom.at is a website dedicated to young mothers, fathers, and, obviously, babies.
On this portal you can find any information about pregnancy, birth,
lactation and generally babies that you might be searching for. Mothers
write reports about their own experiences here, can participate in baby
photo competitions, communicate in a dedicated parents' forum, search
for books about these topics etc.
We are currently refreshing the website. It will have a new
technical base, a new look, and, of course, a new logo. The current
logo is OK, but rather unspecific and, at least in my opinion,
unprofessional. So we want you to come up with something new and fresh.
The logo will be used on the new website and on a couple of print
documents. Thus it should be possible to use the logo in black/white.
Please do include as well a multi-color as a two-color (doesn't have to
be black&white) version in your designs.
We would like to have a glossy version too in addition to the flat
normal version of the logo. You don't have to present the glossy
version in the contest, I just want to mention that it will be required
when you are chosen as a winner ("glossy" meaning a version with subtle
lightning effects etc., as used in advertisement photos or banners).
Target Audience
The target audience are mainly young mothers and women in general, but to a small amount also young fathers.
The logo should resemble the content of the site: babies. Thus it should be cute (not childish!), using soft colors (I like the colors in the current webdesign a lot!), while staying professional and clear.
Required File Format
Any vector-graphics format readable by GIMP
$300 guaranteed!
- cuteness
- a logo appealing to young women
- possibly use of the soft pink tones in our current webdesign
- heavy saturated pink
- childish or overloaded loo

May 2006 New Food Rollout
This month's lineup includes Sensations from Lays and Tostitos; a Fusion of flavors from Campbell's V-8 brand; double-cool products from Wrigley; smooth moves from Sara Lee; café chic from Coca-Cola; and an ap-Peel-ing new beverage aimed at young women.
Lay's and Tostitos create a Sensation
Plano, Texas-based Frito-Lay North America, a division of PepsiCo, launches Lay's Sensations and Tostitos Sensations, putting bold flavors into healthier snack alternatives.
Lays Sensations are available in two flavors: Lime and Cracked Black Pepper, a savory blend of citrus and bold pepper flavors, and Sweet Chili and Sour Cream, a mix of "sweet heat" and the smooth taste of sour cream. They are kettle cooked in 100 percent pure sunflower oil resulting in lower saturated fat per serving (1g or less) when compared to potato chips cooked in other types of oil, and 0g of trans fat.
Flavors for Tostitos Sensations include Red Chile and Lime with Crushed Red Pepper, contrasting red chili and red pepper with the cooling citrus, and Southwestern Ranch with Black Peppercorn, a blend of creamy ranch and cumin with real bits of black pepper. Tostitos Sensations tortilla chips are cooked in 100 percent pure corn oil and have 0g trans fat.
"Today's consumers crave special and distinct flavors, giving us the opportunity to marry new, gourmet seasoning combinations and our most popular snacks," says Lora DeVuono, group vice president, brand marketing and advertising. "Lay's Sensations and Tostitos Sensations chips have unique mouth-watering tastes and a texture people look for in a great snack."
Suggested retail price for a 6-oz. bag of Lay's Sensations potato chips and a 7-oz. package of Tostitos Sensations tortilla chips is $2.49.
Drink a full serving of veggies and fruits
Campbell Soup Co., Camden, N.J., launches V8 V-Fusion, the newest offering in its V8 beverages line. It builds on the nutritious equity of V8 100 percent vegetable juice by providing a full serving of vegetables plus a full serving of fruit in each 8-oz. glass.
V8 V-Fusion has no added sugar and provides vitamins A, C and E. It's available in three flavors: Strawberry Banana, Peach Mango and Tropical Orange. With its hip grab-and-go packaging, light, sweet taste and texture, the drink aims to appeal to a younger group of consumers and potential new V8 drinkers.
Suggested retail price for a 12-oz. bottle is $1.79, and $3.89 for a 46-oz. bottle.
Double your mint pleasure
Chicago-based Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co.'s Doublemint brand rolls out Doublemint Twins Mints, the first new product introduction to the brand in more than 90 years. Unlike ordinary mints, new Doublemint Twins offer two unique flavors, one creamy and sweet and one minty cool, blended into one mint. This combination is sure to attract those who already love Doublemint gum, as well as a new generation of mild mint fans.
Available in both Wintercreme and Mintcreme flavor varieties, Doublemint Twins mints are adorned with blue and green Doublemint arrows and come in a fun, convenient, flip-top package.
"Consumers told us that they were looking for an innovative and exciting way to enjoy the Doublemint brand that they grew up with," says Paul Chibe, senior marketing director. "Because consumers look to Doublemint to provide the perfect amount of mild mint enjoyment rather than intense mint flavor, "Wrigley's new Doublemint Twins mints will become an instant classic, just like Doublemint gum."
A campy ad campaign for the mints builds on the brand's heritage of the Doublemint Twins and their unique jingle, "Double your pleasure, double your fun," but with an unexpected twist. Viewers will be introduced to a new set of twins — two very different people dressed alike as twins, singing, "New Doublemint Twins are different. They're mints." Its message is in the right place — we are more similar than different under the skin.
Suggested retail price is 69 cents for 37 mints.
Waking up to whole grains
In 2005, more than 400 whole-grain foods were introduced, according to ProductScan, and sales of wheat, whole-wheat and whole-grain bakery items far outpaced white-flour products over the past year. But the majority of consumers are still buying breads, buns, bagels and English muffins with nary a whole grain in them.
After its successful launch in July 2005 of Sara Lee Soft and Smooth Made with Whole Grain White bread — delivering more than 125 million servings of whole grain to white-bread lovers in three months — Sara Lee Corp., Downers Grove, Ill., focuses on breakfast with three new varieties of breakfast breads and two new varieties of English muffins that combine white flour and whole-grain flour, taste like traditional baked goods, but include the nutritional benefits of whole-grain.
Sara Lee breakfast breads include: Brown Sugar Cinnamon, Cinnamon with Raisins and Blueberry Crumble, containing between 35-45 percent whole-grain flour. Each is a good source of fiber. Sold in 16-oz. loaves, the breads feature moist, half-inch thick slices.
Sara Lee Original English Muffins Made with Whole Grain contain 14 percent whole-grain flour. Each muffin has 5g of whole grain, or more than 10 percent of the daily minimum amount recommended by the U.S. Dietary Guidelines. Naturally flavored with honey, the muffins are sold in six-count, 14-oz. packages.
Sara Lee Heart Healthy Wheat English Muffins Made with Honey use 30 percent whole-grain flour and contain 10g of whole grain per muffin. They are sold in a six-count, 14-oz. package.
Sara Lee Made with Whole Grain Bagels are made with 15 percent whole-grain flour to deliver 9g of whole grain per bagel and are sold in six-count, 20-oz. packages.
All contain no trans fats and no artificial flavors or colors.

COSTLY TECHNOLOGY GOTCHAS - A Dozen Tips for E-mail Security and More
COSTLY TECHNOLOGY GOTCHAS - A Dozen Tips for E-mail Security and More
Technology can certainly make you more effective and efficient, but you should be careful to guard against some inherent dangers in using it. To help ensure that technology doesn't bite you where it can hurt most—in the form of ethics and malpractice threats— here are tips for you to follow. Although you may have heard some of them before, all bear repeating throughout your firm.
1. Be aware of the dangers of metadata. When you create or edit just about any document on your computer (like Microsoft Word, MS Excel or Corel WordPerfect files), hidden information about you and the edits you make is automatically created within the document file. This information, in case you haven't heard of it before, is called metadata—which can be simply described as "data about data." Think of it as a concealed level of extra information that is automatically created and embedded in every computer file as you work on that file. It is dangerous because it can include past edits, deleted text or tracked changes, and information about others who work on the document—the kinds of things you likely don't want the client or opposing counsel to see. Thus, if you are e-mailing documents in native format to others, you may be unwittingly sending confidential information to them. Ouch.
2. Remove metadata from your documents. Being aware of metadata is just the start. The important part is to reduce or eliminate metadata from your documents before you send them out. Converting files to PDF with Adobe Acrobat or other PDF creators will usually strip out most metadata. For this reason, many firms have adopted a practice of sending only locked PDF documents to clients or opposing counsel, especially if the recipient doesn't need to edit the document. Also, newer versions of Microsoft Office include features that can identify and strip metadata from documents created in Office applications. There are also metadata scrubbers that will automatically prompt a user to clean metadata from outgoing attachments. Metadata Assistant (www.payneconsulting.com) is one such product that is widely used in law offices.
3. Don't share or compromise your passwords. You wouldn't give your car keys to a complete stranger, so don't do the same with your passwords!
4. Beware of e-mail address Auto-Complete. Having your e-mail software automatically fill in recipients' addresses is certainly helpful when it comes to saving a few keystrokes or having to remember an e-mail address. But it is also a recipe for disaster: Too often we are hurried and do not confirm an address that the software has filled in before hitting Send. Oops! Just about everyone who has used the Auto-Complete function will tell you they've accidentally sent an e-mail to the wrong person. Save yourself the potential exposure to a confidentiality breach by turning Auto-Complete off.
5. Who the heck is email@example.com? When adding e-mail addresses to your contacts list, you want to enter full names so it is obvious who a message is going to, since the contact's full name will then appear in your To line. When a person is using a generic address like email@example.com, for example, you may have to type the full name in the contacts file as "James Bond."
6. Double-check before you hit Send . Building on the previous two tips, before you touch that Send button, you should make it a practice of always checking and verifying that the e-mail addresses in the To field are the correct ones.
7. Check your spam box daily. Spam filters are essential for keeping junk mail out of your inbox. But they can be dangerous, too, because they could erroneously catch a message from your client, opposing counsel, the court or the like. This is called a "false-positive." So if you don't check your spam box daily, you could miss an important message (like one that affects a brief you're in the throes of completing). Most spam filters let you create a "white-list" of parties you know and trust so messages from them will never be stopped.
8. Don't assume that an e-mail was delivered. From reading the previous tip, you know of at least one reason e-mails don't get through and read. There are loads of others—including e-mail server problems, a wrong e-mail address, or the message went through but the person didn't open it, just to name a few. For this reason, you should always follow up on important messages that you send, and you should always reply to important messages sent to you (even if it is just an initial acknowledgement of receipt). This way everyone involved knows that critical e-mails have been safely received.
9. Don't use the "Remember Me" feature. It is so tempting to let Windows and other computer applications remember your login names and passwords when they offer to do this. However, while it may make sense for your NYTimes.com access, you should never—repeat, never—have Windows or other programs remember your password for access to any program or system that has sensitive or confidential information in it (as in your computer logon, accounting systems, bank accounts, practice management software access and so on). In the law firm context, this is especially critical for those who use the family computer at home. Letting Windows remember a username and password gives anyone sitting at that computer full access to the program and all the data in it. Don't do it!
10. Never use a public computer to log on to your firm network. Let's repeat again—never. Public computers (like those in libraries and hotel business centers) often have spyware on them that surreptitiously captures login names, passwords and other data typed in by people using them. That information could be used to compromise the integrity of your network and leave you open to breaches of attorney- client confidentiality. For this reason, typing usernames, passwords or other confidential information on a public computer is an absolute do-not-do.
11. Don't let the bad guys in the back door. A compromised computer that has remote access credentials can bypass firm security and let bad guys or malware get on to your firm network. Require all remote users to have the same level of Internet security on their computers as the law firm has on its. Any computer seeking to access your network must use firewalls, antivirus software, anti-spyware protections and the like.
12. Enforce and regularly update your technology use policy. Remember, rules only work when they are current and enforced. Every law office should have an up-to-date and enforced technology use policy (and incorporating the foregoing tips is a good place to start), a policy that clearly sets out what people can and can't do when using office computers and when working on client matters on computers outside the firm's walls.

I personally don't have any hating anime, except Pokemon of course
For juri_miki : your though is good, but if you think an anime is crap, it means you don't like it, right?
But anyway, I don't think there's any anime that everybody would say : its crap
It depends of the viewers who have different animes tastes

But it's also perfectly possible to fully enjoy something completely in the knowledge that it's a bit rubbish really. (Ever heard of a "guilty pleasure" with regard to television?)

Worst anime for me was Harmagedon the movie. I saw it about 10-11 years ago, me and my friend rented it since it advertised on the cover "From the Director of Akira!" but man was it sooooooooo boring, and the art sucked. I don't know if it was really that bad or if my expectations were way to high since I was naive enough to expect it to be at least close to as cool as Akira.

That is a secret.
Avenger. It seemed like it may be decent at the beginning, but it just goes down-hill with each episode. They should have focused on something else instead. I am only watching it because I do not like putting down series until I've finished watching it.
E's Otherwise. Once again, looked promising, but failed miserably at the end.
(And I've watched all of the episodes to both series)
(Heck, I've seen Pokemon and Digimon, shudder, and yet they were more enjoyable than these two series)
I don't have anime that I particularly hate, just anime that I dislike more than others.

After all, "good" or "bad" are just subjective thoughts. What's in difference in saying "I like this show" or "this anime is good"?? You can never say "this is bad for everyone" because I really doubt anything like that exists: there's always someone who will surely like it. So "worst animes" and "animes I don't like" is exactly the same, because it all depends on your opinions and preferences.
If you care about what "the community" thinks, then you're showing a great lack of confidence and personality.

In my personal opinion the worst anime shows I ever saw were One, Excel Saga, and Ebichu. The reason I have Ebichu in bold is because it is absolutely the worst of the three.

Zakk Wylde Roast Red Carpet Footage Posted
If you missed shredder Zakk Wylde being ripped to pieces at his very own Guitar World-sponsored roast, which took place at NAMM in Anaheim, Calif. on Jan. 19, don't be bummed. You can enjoy Revolver TV's footage from the event's star-studded and bullet-belted red carpet. Here, the roasters and the roastee expressed their apprehension regarding what was about to take place that night.
Slipknot singer Corey Taylor admitted to being "terrified," especially since all of his content for the roast was "X-rated" in nature. He summed up the concept of a roast beautifully, saying, "You talk about everybody…and their mother." Zing! And to think this was just the red carpet banter and not the actual roast, which was brutal like one of Taylor's screams or Wylde's signature riffs.
The guest of honor himself said, "I look around and see all my friends and it makes me want to leave that much faster. I have no idea what they could be making fun of."
Perhaps the most hilarious red carpet chat included in this footage is that which was conducted with Sharon Osbourne, the matriarch of metal. Ozzy's missus recalled one of her, uh, favorite memories of Wylde. She spoke about an on-stage stunt Wylde once pulled and it makes her husband's dove-biting incident seem tame by comparison.
She revealed that Wylde, a self-proclaimed "good Catholic boy," once grabbed a roll of toilet paper while onstage, did what you usually do with such an item and then put it in his mouth. That's grosser than gross and not to mention TMI — too much information. We guess we should be glad we didn't witness it firsthand or up close.
