Bitstream: CEDIA: McIntosh's SACD/CD Player
Not cheap, obviously, but considering all that it does and such, this might fill a void for some folks around here, especially if you kill a bunch of birds with one stone like what this thing does.
What? You thought SACD was dead? How wrong you would be. At least at the CEDIA Expo, SACD was making a strong comeback showing. Maybe higher-end installer types are presenting more demand than lowly big-box store customers. In any case, the high-end audio format is certainly alive and well on the Expo floor in Denver. Case in point, the McIntosh MCD500 SACD/CD player is their flagship model, joining the MCD201 and MCD301 players. It features two selectable digital inputs, coaxial and optical digital inputs, fixed and variable balanced outputs (up to 6 volts), dedicated headphone amplifier with level control, and die-cast disc tray. Also inside, you'll find four 24-bit/192-kHz D/A converters per channel arranged in a differential balanced configuration. Of course, all clocks are phase-locked looped. Data is read from the disc at twice the normal rate. The glass front panel is illuminated by a combination of custom-designed fiber optic light diffusors and LEDs. An illuminated remote control is included The MCD500 will retail for a mere $6,500. |

"Team work. Team work. Team work." "Students need to know how to work in teams." "Working with other people of a diverse background is as important as knowing your discipline." "I've never fired an engineer for incompetence; I've only fired engineers because they couldn't work with others." These are all statements that I've heard from industry partners, former students now working in corporate America, and friends in similar positions.
Teamwork is a cornerstone of Introduction to Engineering Design, a Ways of Knowing course for SMU's new University Curriculum. The course is a project based learning experience for first-year engineering students where the students work in multidisciplinary teams to build autonomous robots that can traverse a playing field to find a water basin. Once found, the robots have to test the water for pH, temperature, and turbidity, and then remediate the pH of the water. Completing a robot of this complexity is no small feat for first-year students.
We've done many things over the years to help the teams be more effective, procrastinate less, and achieve more technical success. However, it is rarely the technical competence of the team members that stands in the way of that success. More often, it is the lack of experience concerning how to work effectively on teams that has caused the most problems. Teams would encounter typical problems such as the "slacker syndrome" where a few members leave all of the work to the others.
Recently, with the help of the Hart Center for Engineering Leadership in the Lyle School in consultation with the Center for Creative Leadership, we modeled the rhythm of the class and project based on a software project management framework called Scrum . Scrum is an iterative development framework that focuses not only on the "thing" being developed but on the team functionality. While not adopting each and every aspect of Scrum, we use several important parts that make sense for this type of project. Each iteration or "sprint" is approximately 3 weeks long. Class meetings (and hopefully other team meetings) begin with a "stand-up". In a stand-up, students actually stand (hiding your cell phone in your lap is challenging when your standing up), and each member of the team answers three questions to the other team members:
- What have I done since the last meeting?
- What do I intend to complete before the next meeting?
- What is blocking me?
Each sprint ends with some sort of major deliverable (a presentation, a robot demonstration, etc.) One of the most important parts of Scrum, though, is the team retrospective. After the technical deliverable, the teams adjourn to another room where they spend time with a team facilitator discussing how their team is functioning, how to become a more productive team, and what the team should start, stop, and continue doing to aid in its future success.
We are now in our third semester using this framework for the course. We are seeing significant improvements in the technical success of the teams due in part to the incremental deliverables. Much of the increased success of the teams is due to the fact that they are truly learning to work together, rely on one another, and resolve their problems in a mature fashion.
Have you tried any particular project methodology from industry to manage projects and teams in your classes? If so, please post in the comments section. In future posts, I'll expand on the various aspects of the Scrum methodology, more detail about how we have implemented it, and thoughts moving forward.

Diversity at Day Pitney LLP
Diversity is a core firm value at Day Pitney. We embrace diversity because we understand that the input of professionals with varying perspectives invites innovation and creativity, which, in turn, better equips us to serve our clients. We are dedicated to maintaining our focus to achieve meaningful and lasting results. We are proud of what we have achieved so far, but realize that there is still much to do. We remain committed to supporting diversity within our firm and in the communities in which we practice.
Here is an overview of some of our more recent diversity milestones:
In April, Day Pitney LLP and Gray Haile LLP announced a strategic alliance that will enable each firm to expand its client base and provide clients with a team of diverse lawyers with sophisticated business law experience. Gray Haile, which was formed in 2006, is a boutique, minority-owned transactional law firm based in Washington, D.C. that focuses on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, leveraged buyouts, joint ventures, corporate financing transactions, private security placements, and venture capital. The firm traces its origin to an effort to build a top-flight corporate law practice comprised of experienced attorneys who had practiced at some of the country's premier law firms. The strategic alliance is an innovative way to accomplish two important goals for law firms: (i) attaining manageable growth and (ii) meeting the expectations of corporate clients who are emphasizing the need for law firms to increase the retention and promotion of minorities.
Last January, our Executive Committee approved and implemented the position of Director of Professional Development, Diversity & Legal Recruiting. Our Director is charged with overseeing the firm's diversity efforts. She is an active member of the Day Pitney Diversity Committee, works closely with the Professional Recruitment Committee to help increase diversity through recruitment, oversees the professional development of all firm attorneys, helps to encourage dialogue between firm leadership and minority attorneys, and regularly represents Day Pitney at various diversity conferences and functions.
Our Professional Recruitment Committee and our Diversity Committee have collaborated closely to increase the number of law students and minority attorneys in our first-year and summer classes. To that end, we participate in the Rutgers-Newark/ Minority Student Program and the University of Connecticut School of Law Cultural Diversity Initiative. We have also attended several minority job fairs, including the Philadelphia Area Minority Job Fair, the Vault/MCCA Minority Job Fair, the BLSA New York City Job Fair, and the Hispanic Bar Association Job Fair. We have sponsored several resume writing and interview skills workshops for minority law students at the University of Connecticut School of Law, Boston area law schools, and Howard University Law School. We are pleased to report that minority law students will comprise 38% of our 2007 summer class, and minority lawyers comprised 36% of our 2007 fall associate class, firm-wide.
In September 2006, the Day Pitney Foundation announced the establishment of the Day Pitney Foundation Diversity Scholarship at Fordham University Law School. The Foundation will fund two $10,000 Day Pitney Foundation Diversity Scholarships each year to first- or second-year law students who demonstrate financial need and academic merit and who come from groups historically underrepresented in the legal profession. The first Day Pitney Foundation Diversity Scholarships were awarded for the 2006-2007 academic year.
Day Pitney is a signatory to the New York City Bar Association's Statement of Diversity Principles (the "Statement"), which is a collaborative effort of some of the largest firms in the country to support and strengthen the commitment to the hiring, retention, promotion, and leadership of minority attorneys. As a signatory, Day Pitney joins more than 110 other law firms and government and corporate legal departments who have committed to offering periodic diversity training and to tracking and reporting recruitment, attrition, and promotion data to the New York City Bar.
In March 2006, the National Association for Law Placement Diversity Advancement Committee cited the former Day, Berry & Howard minority mentoring program, now in place at Day Pitney, as a "best practice" in its Diversity Best Practices Guide. Initiated in 2002, each non-partner minority attorney who "opts in" to the program is assigned an Executive Committee mentor. Executive Committee mentors ensure that minority attorneys have access to and an opportunity for guidance from firm leaders. The Day Pitney minority mentoring program simultaneously empowers Day Pitney attorneys of color and provides direct feedback to our Executive Committee about firm diversity. The Executive Committee also meets quarterly with all minority attorneys, both partners and non-partners, to discuss an agenda of issues created by the non-partner minority attorneys.
Day Pitney's Women Working Together ("WWT"®) sponsors an annual Leadership Luncheon and Panel Discussion. This year's panel discussion featured "Women Business Owners and Founders." The panelists were three women business owners who have experienced great success starting their own companies. The Luncheon also provides an opportunity to network with other women business leaders.
WWT® also hosted a reception for women students attending nearby law schools to provide an opportunity for these students to meet and talk with women practitioners on an informal basis. The reception included a panel discussion, where women attorneys at the firm answered questions and provided comments to law students about practicing law as a woman, and specifically about being a women attorney at Day Pitney.
We are also proud of our continued internal work and broader community efforts to support diversity. Many recent articles feature discussions of Day Pitney diversity or are authored by Day Pitney professionals, and our Day Pitney attorneys also often serve as panelists and presenters on the topic of diversity.
The firm's diversity efforts have not gone unnoticed. In March, 2006, for the second year in a row, our legacy firm, Day, Berry & Howard (DBH) was named one of the top 100 law firms for diversity by
Multicultural Law
magazine. DBH ranked number 78 for diversity overall, and number 34 for associates, generally. Similarly, on February 3, 2007, the Urban League of Greater Hartford, Inc. publicly acknowledged the firm as an "Urban Sponsor" at its 2007 Black History Award Celebration. We are very proud that our Co-Managing Partner, Jim Sicilian, received an award for his "dedication and contribution in promoting understanding and respect in our diverse society" at the April 12, 2007 Human Relations Award Banquet of the National Conference for Community and Justice.
Day Pitney is committed to fostering an inclusive environment for people of diverse backgrounds at all levels. We continue to strive to provide challenging opportunities, meaningful guidance, and positive incentives to assist our professionals in achieving their greatest potential. In doing so, our goal is ultimately to create advantages out of our differences and to achieve richer, broader goals.
For more information about diversity, please contact Edgardo Ramos, Chair of the Diversity Committee.

All in one
The royal blue silk jumpsuit looked as elegant as the intricate tulle dresses on the Valentino catwalk – and strapless too – another trend to emerge from the runway last week. Comme des Garçons sleeves were overblown and at Kenzo cotton jumpsuits were printed. At Loewe, they were constructed from leather.
"The infinity of tailoring" said Rei Kawakubo of her Comme des Garçons collection, and indeed it was. Each rosette or bow on each suited outfit were in fact constructed of one piece of fabric that was part of the pattern of the base garment. A mannish silhouette was seen at Celine and at Stella McCartney.
Perhaps designers have been influenced by the events in Rome – cardinal red was particularly eye-catching at Christian Dior and Valentino in long and flowing, languid silhouettes and on PVC at Maison Martin Margiela and knitted at Hermes. Romantic and nostalgic styles felt modern in this statement hue. Not for the faint-hearted, perhaps, but Special K crimson should brighten up the pavements in autumn 2013.
Fluttering on the lining of coats, on cuffs and on hems that looked as though they had been tarred and feathered – Louis Vuitton's boudoir dressing collection was treated with marabou and goose feathers and graced some Speedy bags too. At Dries Van Noten, whole feather skirts and shift dresses danced along the catwalk. Sarah Burton used white feathers to top-off her religious inspired collection.
Stella McCartney packed so many of the trends into her fall/winter colleciton (tailoring, strapless, all-in-one) shown at the lavishly beautiful Opera Garnier. But it was her mannish tailoring and grey wool tracksuit which looked most effortless. Funnel-neck knits worn over skirts and bomber jackets transformed into coats and dresses at Miu Miu gave the collection a sporty edge.
Calf length
Mid-length skirts normally signify something rather grown-up and refined, but Miuccia Prada's Miu Miu collection gave the style added verve and fun in sugary shades and polka-dot prints. At Acne, calf-lengths were given an added dimension with woolly and leather textures, panelled and sensuously slit, but resolutely hitting just below the knee. Rick Owens, too, master of the avant garde, showed pragamtic and almost prudish longer skirts, given a rock and roll edge with drapes and tucks.
The sweatshirt
Whoever said sweatshirts had to be sporty? Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy presented jewelled versions, emblazoned with cartoons such as Bambi on elegant and embellished transparent fabrics. Kenzo, now known for its It-knits, decorated a pullover with an eye motif, while Hussein Chalayan showed his with sculpted sleeves.
For his debut at Balenciaga, Alexander Wang marbled fur chubby jackets; Karl Lagerfeld put models in fur helmets, and Marc Jacobs put full-length furs over silky negligées. But if wearing fur doesn't sit well with your ethics, then fluffy, textured wool is set to be just as fashionable – seen on the catwalk of Celine and Acne, and even in real Steiff Teddy Bear fluff at Dries van Noten.
Never be embarrassed at the launderette with your laundry carrier again– this pattern has been made officially fashionable thanks to Phoebe Philo at Celine. Just about every designer flirted with plaid and checks for autumn – Alber Elbaz for Lanvin, Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel and Hedi Slimane for Saint Laurent, who, for his grungy collection paired tea dresses with plaid boyfriend shirts.
Hussein Chalayan¸ Jean Paul Gaultier, Haider Ackermann and Chloe all experimented with the zip, on leather puffers and sleeveless bikers, but the master of the metal fastening has to be Junya Watanabe. No stranger to a biker, Watanabe this season re-imagined it in various guises to amazing effect.Trenchcoats were also transformed with multizipped-compartments, with attention paid to the hips.
Classically elegant New Look-line dresses at Lanvin gave the effect of strapless bustiers, although they were actually worn over sheer tops that were decorated with appliqued bees, fluttering like the world's blingiest tattoos. The bustier shape was also popular at Balenciaga, where it came on curved and clean tunic tops, and Viktor & Rolf, where a minidress appeared to have its yoke cut clean off. Strapless may seem sweet and sophisticated but the new versions have a bit of attitude.

MANILA, Philippines — The Middle-Eastern nation of Iran is set to shut down access by its citizens to the Internet starting in August as it moves to put in place a state-controlled national Intranet in the months to come, according to a report by the International Business Times.
The announcement, made by Information and Communications Technology Minister Reza Taghipour, immediately curtails Iranians' access to such services as Google, Gmail, Google Plus, Yahoo! and Hotmail.
By May, the first phase of the project will replace Google, Yahoo! and Hotmail services with state-sanctioned Internet services such as Iran Mail and Iran Search Engine, in the country's bid to promote a "clean Internet."
According to the report, Taghipour was quoted sometime in March to have said that the Internet "promotes crime, disunity, unhealthy moral content, and atheism." Some government officials have also expressed concern over the boom of social media as inflicting harm on society.
The final stage of the shuttering plan would involve the launch of the national Intranet in August, which will permanently ban access to "outside" Internet in Iran.
"All Internet Service Providers (ISP) should only present National Internet by August," Taghipour said in the statement.
Prior to this, Iran has already exercised strict control over Internet Service Providers that do not comply with the government's filter list. Just recently, the state had blocked access the official website of the London 2012 Olympics for undisclosed reasons.
The move is seen partly as a response by the Iran government to the widespread protests drawn up by Iranians over social networking site Twitter during the presidential elections in 2009.
Censoring the Internet has also been the strategy of governments attempting to curb revolutions that toppled dictatorships in countries such as Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia in what has been popularly dubbed as the Arab Springs.
China is a popular model for such widespread Internet censorships through what is called the "Great Firewall of China," which restricts access to many popular Internet sites such as Google, Facebook and Twitter.
In the mainland, only state-sanctioned Chinese Internet services — such as QQ, an instant messaging application, and Baidu, China's answer to Google — are allowed to thrive thanks to the scale provided by the huge population of the Asian powerhouse.

Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) REI AirRail 1.5 Long
[best features]
This three-season mattress uses smart features to elevate the basic air pad: Like the Klymit Static V (left), the Flash uses extra-big baffles on the perimeter to keep sleepers from rolling off. "I'm tossy-turny, but the guard rails kept me from slipping onto the tent floor, and even my pillow stayed put," says one tester after a week of camping in Tasmania. She also issues props for the separate deflation valve, which releases air in a hurry to make packing up easier.
The 2.5-inch thickness proved sufficient for smoothing out lumpy sandstone in Arizona's Havasu Canyon. PrimaLoft Infinity synthetic insulation and a 3.2 R-value kept testers warm down to 30°F, and the 30-denier ripstop polyester held strong against sharp rocks and grasses. But comfort doesn't come fast: Blowing it up takes several minutes and plenty of lung power. $119; 1 lb.; 72" x 20.5" x 2.5"; rei.com
The REI AirRail is 23" wide and had raised rails to help keep you on the pad all night long.

Last Tuesday, Roxbury rabble-rouser Jamarhl Crawford finally addressed the Occupy Boston General Assembly (GA). Indeed, it seemed only a matter of time before the Blackstonian editor became attracted to the momentum on Dewey Square; the crowd downtown is screaming for many – if not all – of the same issues that he's been mobilizing on for years.
As you may have read last week - that is if you're one of the few people who pay attention to breaking Friday afternoon news - after months of deliberation Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley found that there was no excessive force used in the controversial 2010 arrest of a 16-year-old male on the campus of Roxbury Community College.
One surefire way to rile activists is to beat a teenager in plain sight, and tell witnesses that they can't record the free-for-all. Needless to say, more than a few folks are furious in the wake of news that Boston Police Department officers jabbed and kicked a 16-year-old inside a Roxbury Community College building this past Friday.
Democratic operatives across Massachusetts are not the only fools concerned about their jobs today. Boston Police Department officer Justin Barrett - whose love letter to Globe columnist Yvonne Abraham got him indefinitely suspended on account of his poor punctuation and famously equating Harvard scholar Skip Gates to a "banana-eating jungle monkey" - appeared in a private hearing earlier this afternoon.
Roxbury rabblerouser Jamarhl Crawford is the first source who reporters call when they need a quote that bitch slaps City Hall and its inhabitants. In addition to his position as the National Minister of Information for the New Black Panther Party, Crawford - also known as Uno the Prophet - is committed to scrapping for minority justice against mighty odds.
I'm breathing deep sighs of relief. Not just because of the sudden beach weather, but because the media is no longer perceived as the sharpest thorn in black Boston's backside. At least not yesterday; and at least not from where I sat at last night's small assembly at the YMCA on Martin Luther King Boulevard in Roxbury.

Maximum return on your investment
CIPD in-house training, learning and development solutions are a highly flexible, efficient, cost and time effective way to get the maximum return on your training and development investment. Since programmes are held at your premises (or at a venue of your choice), your people don't incur the expense and loss of time associated with travelling further afield. Especially if travelling from outside the UK! And because they are learning together, they can discuss and debate the unique circumstances of your organisation and location, making the learning even more relevant and effective.
Delivering training in a way that suits you
Our learning and development programmes can be delivered in a variety of formats, for example, lunch and learn, master-classes, bite-sized learning, seminars, accredited qualifications – whatever works best for you and your organisation.
Programmes tailored to your requirements
- Bespoke in-house training programmes - we work with you to assess your HR and business objectives and develop an in-house training and development programme from scratch to help you to achieve them.
- Tailored in-house training programmes - where we adapt course length, content and emphasis of existing courses and programmes to suit your particular objectives and requirements.
- Standard courses and qualifications - from our list of publicly run programmes, delivered in-house, where content and format is based on the current programme.
Fitting the training to your needs
CIPD in-house training offers:
- relevance - we incorporate case studies and learning methods that are immediately relevant to your people. This means that they can put their learning into practice straight away and make an impact immediately.
- convenience and minimal disruption - learning is scheduled to fit with your business' day to day activities, and, because it is held at your premises (or premises of your choice), your people do not incur the expense and loss of time from travelling further afield.
- cost-effectiveness - you pay per event, rather than per person, giving you a much larger return on your investment.
- time-effectiveness - you don't need to design a course, train a trainer, worry about the administration and logistics – we do all the work for you.
- flexibility - we deliver learning in a variety of different formats to suit your particular requirements - masterclasses, bitesize, blended, e-learning, etc.
Why us?
As part of the world's largest Chartered HR and development professional body, we know what great HR looks like, and what HR and L&D professionals need to know, do and deliver to succeed. What's more, we really do understand how training works and we are experts in designing and delivering programmes that provide the tools and motivation to make change happen.

Today I'm finally wearing a sample of Bond No. 9 I Love NY for All, and I'm a bit surprised at how much I'm enjoying it so far. I always figured I wasn't into sweet scents, and the IDEA of gourmands didn't appeal to me, but this is really nice. Still, I don't know much about this category at all, apart from sniffing A*Men on test strips a few times (and not necessarily hating it). So, the question is, would the Bond No. 9 be one to go for, or are there others I should explore first? Is A*Men really that challenging and divisive to wear? How would it compare to I Love NY for All?
(My blind-buy bottle of L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme Extreme is on its way, so there's that too.)
Those are two of my favorite gourmands, NY for all and LIDGE (finally came yesterday). Me, I am not so much an A*MEN fan so i wouldnt be able to give it a fair comparison and have not reached the point where I would wear it. Maybe you could look into Pure Havane and Pure Malt as an alternative to A*MEN if you find it to be a challenge to wear.
Please visit my SALES thread! HERE
A*Men may be a hate-or-love scent, but after certain testings, it is definitely not that hard to wear one gets used to it and decides that A*Men is likable enough to be worn
This scent was horrible on my skin...smelled like cheese ...gross...I like the original I love new york
L'Instant is wonderful, don't apply too much though! At first you will be tempted to but it changes and you should learn how to wear it starting with just a spray or two.
I wore New Haarlem yesterday for the first real wearing. I thought I would just like it based on a card sampling but it really works for me. You may want to try that one too.
1. Epic Man by Amouage (29 wears)
2. Leather Oud by Christian Dior (27 wears)
3. M7 by Yves Saint Laurent (22 wears)
4. Oud Imperial (black) by Perris Monte Carlo (21 wears)
5. Russian Tea Ritual by Masque (17 wears)
6. Fate Man by Amouage (17 wears)
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
You have the best on it's way to you in L'Instant Extreme, a fantastic vanille/cocoa semi gourmand fragrance. It smells great and lasts twelve hours plus. Good purchase.
Tonka Imperiale is definitely my current favorite gourmand!
If you like that one, then I also think that Bond no. 9 So New York, Bond no. 9 New Haarlem, and Rochas Man may be worth trying.
Les Nombres d'Or Vanille by Mona di Orio is my favorite gourmand. Frapin 1270 is also one I like and recommend.
Current Top Favorites:
1) Portrait of a Lady original formula (EdP Frédéric Malle)
2) Giorgio for Men vintage/V.I.P. for Men (Giorgio Beverly Hills)
3) Dia Man vintage edt (Amouage)
4) Anat Fritz Original Formula and Classical (Anat Fritz) - tie
4) Lalfeorosa (O'driù) - tie
6) Les Nombres d'Or Vetyver (Mona di Orio)
7) Captain vintage (Molyneux)
8) Tzora (Anat Fritz)
9) Javanese Patchouli (Zegna) - tie
9) Monsieur de Givenchy vintage (Givenchy) - tie
9) Coeur de Vetiver Sacré (L'Artisan) - tie
9) Polo vintage (Ralph Lauren) - tie
9) Patou pour Homme Privé (Jean Patou) - tie
9) Oud Shamash (The Different Company) - tie
ambre narguile is my favorite.
AMEN will be potent if you are used to lighter scents
I actually prefer a scent to have some projection, letting me then control the number of sprays from there. Though from all I've read A*Men is a beast as far as strength. I haven't worn it yet -- only smelled it on strips -- but already it seems more complex and interesting than I Love NY for All. Though maybe it's not as much of a "high quality" experience? I have to admit, one of my hesitations about trying A*Men is that it's associated with guys much younger than me (I'm 34). Still, if its effect is similar to the lovely smell I got from the Bond No. 9 this morning, I may have to give it a go. It's certainly more affordable than something like New Haarlem. :-)
Rochas Man is a great inexpensive gourmand. I also enjoy New Haarlem, Pure Havane (a lot), Pure Malt and A*Men.
I second Rochas man. Its underrated
A*Men is very high quality, so you've got nothing to worry about there. In fact, it's a benchmark fragrance. Try it with a single spray to the chest, and go from there. I personally like the opening, but the drydown is absolutely brilliant.
New Haarlem is pure gold in a bottle, check that one out too.
I really enjoy New Haarlem, Pure Havane, Musc Ravaguer, Back to Black and Tobacco Vanille.

Stars They're Just Like Us: iPhone Edition
Written by Pats Papers | Wednesday, 16 December 2009 2:49 PM
As the 30 Rock shoot at NY1 continues, I just had a "Stars they're just like us" moment. The battery in Alec Baldwin's iPhone is no better than anyone else's. He's tethered to a computer at one of our reporter desks because his iPhone is in desperate need of a charge. (Now that I think about it, after a morning of tweeting about 30 Rock I'm down to about 20 percent battery remaining.)
I had a chance to talk with Alec a few minutes later. Turns out he watches NY1 a lot. We like to hear that. Maybe they'll write us in to an episode one day as the evil crosstown rival to NBC.

Life has slowed down about a thousand paces since leaving home but being a beach bum & ocean fanatic at heart I've slipped back into island life without a second thought. With hot sunny days, white sandy beaches, crystal waters, cascading backdrops, exotic fruit, beautiful locals, bustling street markets and free-flowing coconut water the view from my hammock looks pretty good right now..

The photo was taken in Hamburg in 1936, during the celebrations for the launch of a ship. In the crowed, one person refuses to raise his arm to give the Nazi salute. The man was August Landmesser. He had already been in trouble with the authorities, having been sentenced to two years hard labour for marrying a Jewish woman.
We know little else about August Landmesser, except that he had two children. By pure chance, one of his children recognized her father in this photo when it was published in a German newspaper in 1991. How proud she must have been in that moment...

Thanks to his self-made evidence, Stanislav Bakanov spent Saturday in jail and had his video confiscated. It's all for the best; 140-mph runs in BMWs aren't that thrilling, as the video above shows.

Make it thy business to know thyself,
With your hard-core savings set aside, you are now ready to address the topic
of allocation. It's one of those subjects near and dear to big-time money
managers. They love to bandy it about as they defend their citizen's right
to prattle on about how: "Only a professional should manage your money."
Convenient, that one!
We're telling you that your portfolio allocation shouldn't be terribly complex
and that you'll want to find one design for your long-term savings and stick
with it. Why? Well, you've heard the story before. This month your broker
Rollie recommends that you have 60 percent of your portfolio in stocks, 30
percent in bonds, and 10 percent in cash. In four months, though, it's time
to go 40 percent stocks, 35 percent bonds, and 25 percent cash. Unless you've
recently come across some new cash, there's only one way that you can follow
his new allocation strategy -- sell something that you already
own and buy something new in its place.
Look at those two italicized, underlined words above:
Sell and Buy
If you're an individual investor using a full-service broker, we recommend
that you merge those two words into one: transact. We now suggest
that you translate that single word back into a short and deliciously-accurate
phrase: Hey, pay me and my investment firm more money in commissions.
You can name us spoiled sports, but we think much of the hullabaloo on Wall
Street about asset allocation is driven by a vested interest in generating
more transactions from customers, more commission payments, more profits
for the firm. When you reason through the consequences of frequently redefining
your portfolio allocation, we think you'll agree that if you truly are a
long-term investor -- if you have more than 8-10 years to invest -- you should
stick with a single, low-cost allocation strategy: 100% in stocks.
Along with the joys of that one-time allocation decision, we think you stand
to make the most money by owning businesses, not worrying about the daily
fluctuations of stock prices. We'd consider it very Foolish of you to someday
say to a friend, "I have a whole mess of General Electric stock. It's somewhere
around $80-$95 per share. And yeah, it trades between 20-40x earnings. Boy,
their cash-flows have been improving year over year. GE Capital is a wonderful
business for them."
We believe that the short-term, present-day valuation is far less important
than your estimation of how the business is doing today and how you expect
it to do in the years and decades ahead. Both the 11 Steps that you
are reading and the Rule Maker portfolio online propose that you buy ownership
positions in cash-rich companies and that you tend toward not selling these
investments for years, decades if possible, generations is ideal. Your aim
will be to not trade, to not get on the cover of a financial magazine for
being a market maven, and to not be invited onto financial television. You'll
be encouraged to disregard the often self-serving whims of financial firms
and to mostly eliminate the unnecessarily high costs of investing.
And finally, Fool, you'll be looking for companies whose products and services
you use, companies which you believe have staying power for the next two
decades, companies with management teams committed to rewarding their
shareholders. Contrast that with the all-too-typical recommendation from
small brokerage firms calling you during dinner. They often pitch the stocks
of businesses that you've never heard of, those stocks with supposedly remarkable
short-term prospects run by management teams that are too often primarily
concerned with rewarding themselves. We don't mean to sound like cynical
Fools. We've just learned some things over the years. Syndicated columnist
Abigail Van Buren can speak for us here:
"If we could sell our experiences for what they cost us, we'd all be millionaires."
Experience in this game has taught us to trade infrequently and to concentrate
on durable businesses that we know and love. With that, let's press forward
into how we've allocated the Rule Maker Portfolio, why, and why you might
consider doing the same.
Our Foolish Keys to Portfolio Allocation.
Step 4: Finding Rule Maker Investment Ideas »
which is the most difficult lesson in the world.

The cornerstone of JMC Development's business for the past decade has been its line of "prix fixe" bathrooms, according to company president John G. MacDougall. "While we advertise a standard bathroom for $8,500, once the client comes into the showroom they find upgrades they want and end up spending more," he says. "This works well because our design is done in-house."
JMC has a team approach to selling; MacDougall will visit the client's home and talk about what could be done and then schedules a visit with one of the company's two full-time designers who essentially close the sale. While marketing efforts on the radio, in print, and via direct mail have fizzled, MacDougall credits JMC's satisfied customers and their vocal support online for the company's continued success. "We've got stellar reviews on Angie's List, and those people are like a cult!" he says.
No Doubt About It When in doubt, John G. MacDougall says that he just "does the right thing."

Press Releases
In Case You Missed It: Webster's Amendment to Eliminate Intrusive and Costly ACS Survey Passes HouseLast night, U.S. Representative Daniel Webster delivered on his promise to streamline government and stop wasteful spending by offering an amendment to prohibit taxpayer dollars from being used to conduct the American Community Survey, a program that could cost taxpayers upwards of $2.5 billion over the next decade. Clearly outside the scope of what is intended or required by the Constitution, which calls only for an "enumeration" every ten years, the survey tramples on personal privacy. The 28 page survey includes questions requiring respondents to: • Describe their emotional condition; • Detail what time they left for work and how long it took them to get home; and • Declare whether they had difficulty dressing or needed help to go shopping. Failure to answer these questions is punishable by fines up to $5,000. Webster's amendment to eliminate this initiative passed last night with bipartisan support by a vote of 232 to 190. Elimination of the American Community Survey was last week's winning proposal selected by the voting public for the Majority Leader's YouCut program.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Grannie2 from A handy helper in the kitchen These small, flexible cutting mats are so convenient for small jobs -- easy to wash and easy to transport chopped veggies to the frying pan.Date published: 2016-05-23Rated 3 out of 5 by LizY from absorbs smells I have been using these boards for about 18 months. I love that they are easy to store but, I am in the market for new cutting boards for a couple of reasons. First, as other reviewers have noted, the square size does not fit well in the dishwasher. I am forced to fold them over on one end, which can prevent other dishes from getting cleaned. Second, despite numerous washes, these boards have picked up a mold-like odor that concerns me.Date published: 2015-12-29Rated 5 out of 5 by Nanakuli from dexas flexi cutting boards Love these cutting boards. I have used them for years. Easy to store and clean. AwesomeDate published: 2015-03-20Rated 2 out of 5 by SuSu2 from Never use, Gave 2 away Good idea in concept....but washing any non-wood cutting board in the dishwasher would probably have the same effect.... I bought the square ones which are a little too awkwardly big. I don't care for the size and the thin material. feel like I'm hurting the counters when pounding chicken or .tenderizing steak. I much prefer a thicker plastic/polypropylene board.Date published: 2015-02-04Rated 4 out of 5 by tempess from Good Cutting Boards Nice size, stays relatively in place while cutting. Still have not found/convenient spot in the kitchen to put them, larger than the ones I am replaced.Date published: 2014-09-30Rated 3 out of 5 by KFREVIEW from Pretty but not great These cutting boards are very pretty colors and I love having different colors for different foods. But less than a week after using them daily there are deep score marks from my knives and they already look worn.Date published: 2014-09-06Rated 5 out of 5 by TeacherPR from Excellent Cutting Boards! This set of cutting boards is great for small jobs. I use the green one mostly because it is the one for vegetables but I have used all of them. They are easy to clean and store since they are not bulky.Date published: 2014-08-31Rated 5 out of 5 by rdnatx from Great product Excellent cutting boards. Wash easily. Bought both sizes.Date published: 2014-07-26
