text: moxa1 Saturday, 02/26/11 09:44:24 AM Re: None Post # of 6557 Proof Tim Geithner works for Rothschild globalists and wants America to fail. Geithner's Gamble Simon Johnson LOS ANGELES – In a recent interview, United States Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner laid out his view of the nature of world economic growth and the role of the US financial sector. It is a deeply disturbing vision, one that amounts to a huge, uninformed gamble with the future of the American economy – and that suggests that Geithner remains the senior public official worldwide who is most in thrall to the self-serving ideology of big banks. Geithner argues that the world will now experience a major "financial deepening," owing to growing demand in emerging markets for financial products and services. He is thinking, of course, of "middle-income" countries like India, China, and Brazil. And he is right to emphasize that all have made terrific progress and now offer great opportunities for the rising middle class, which wants to accumulate savings, borrow more easily (for productive investment, home purchases, education, etc), and, more generally, smooth out consumption. But then Geithner takes a leap. He wants US banks to take the lead in these countries' financial development. His words are worth quoting at length: "I don't have any enthusiasm for…trying to shrink the relative importance of the financial system in our economy as a test of reform, because we have to think about the fact that we operate in the broader world…It's the same thing for Microsoft or anything else. We want US firms to benefit from that…Now, financial firms are different because of the risk, but you can contain that through regulation." There are three serious problems with this view. First, Geithner ignores everything that we know about the pattern of financial development around the world. It is very rare for financial systems to develop without major crises. In fact, experience in recent decades confirms what should have been obvious from previous centuries: as countries grow and accumulate savings, they become increasingly prone to financial collapse. Given Geithner's extensive international crisis-fighting experience at the US Treasury, the International Monetary Fund, and the New York Federal Reserve, his current naiveté on this point is simply stunning. Second, Geithner assumes that risks at the largest US firms can be contained through regulation, when all our knowledge points directly to the contrary. Even the strongest supporters of the Dodd-Frank reform legislation emphasize that it only went part way towards reducing the incentives for major financial institutions to take big risks. Looking at the combined effect of the new law, plus the weak additional capital requirements agreed under Basel III and the hands-off approach already signaled by the Financial Stability Oversight Council (which Mr. Geithner chairs), it is hard to believe that anything has really improved. In fact, given that our largest banks are now undoubtedly too big to fail, they have even more incentive to increase their debt levels relative to their equity. Higher leverage increases their payoffs when times are good – as executives and traders are paid based on their "return on equity." And when times are bad, for example in a crisis episode, losses are transferred to creditors. If those creditor losses are large and spread so as to undermine the broader financial system, pressure for a government bailout will mount. Bankers get the upside and taxpayers (and people laid off as credit is disrupted) get the downside. The US financial sector went mad for high-risk loans to emerging markets during 1970s – arguing that this was the new frontier. This loan portfolio blew up in the debt crisis of 1982. A version of same thoughtless cross-border lending is again underway, extolled by leading financial sector executives (e.g., Jamie Dimon from JP Morgan Chase) – who have apparently persuaded Mr. Geithner to tag along intellectually. And third, Geithner completely overlooks what has brought significant parts of Europe to its economic knees. He should spend more time with the authorities in Iceland or Ireland or Switzerland, countries where "financial globalization" allowed banks to become big relative to the economy. In Iceland, the three largest banks built global balance sheets that were between 11 and 13 times the size of the economy. And then they collapsed. In Ireland, the three largest banks went crazy for commercial real estate – financed by large-scale borrowing from other eurozone countries (including Germany). The politicians looked the other way – or were paid off, some claim – while these banks built balance sheets valued at two times Irish GDP. And then they collapsed, causing enormous damage to the government's own solvency. In Switzerland, the two largest banks (UBS and Credit Suisse) had a combined balance sheet in fall 2008 of around 8 times Swiss GDP – mostly based on their global activities. Mortgage traders in London – not many of whom were Swiss – took on enormous risks that almost brought down UBS. The Swiss government could afford the bailout, just. And now the Swiss National Bank is moving in the exact opposite direction to Geithner – they are pushing these big banks to become smaller and to finance more of their activities with equity, rather than debt. Geithner is a very smart and experienced public servant. His views concerning the future of finance will help shape what happens. And that is why we are headed for trouble.

Attorneys handling a former city council candidate's legal challenge of Toledo's garbage-collection fee yesterday filed a motion seeking class-action status on behalf of city property owners from whom the fee has been collected.
Karen Shanahan sued the city Feb. 28 in Lucas County Common Pleas Court, claiming that the $5.50 monthly fee the Finkbeiner administration imposed last year was improper since neither city council nor Toledo voters approved it.
The motion Ms. Shanahan's lawyers filed yesterday states there are approximately 100,000 potential plaintiffs in the case, "so that joinder of all members of the class in the action is impracticable."
Furthermore, the motion states, the trash fee affects all who pay it in similar fashion, so class-action is appropriate for adjudicating the matter.
The lawsuit seeks an injunction against the fee and reimbursement of all payments associated with it.
The case is pending before Judge Charles J. Doneghy.
Council voted in March to perpetuate the fee and raise the monthly rate, effective May 5, to $7 per month for those who don't sign a recycling pledge and $2 per month for those who do.
The fees are scheduled to change to $8.50 and $1 for non-recyclers and recyclers, respectively, next May and to $10 and zero on May 1, 2010.

Our under 10s were in top form this weekend which began when they faced Wigan Athletic on Friday evening.
The team were on top form and remarkably beat the premier league academy side by seven goals to nil.
They were back in action first thing Saturday morning when they faced Flint Town at Connah's Quay High School and like all the games against Flint on the weekend it was a tight affair, but one the Nomads boys won grabbing a late goal to win the game two one.
Our first team notched there third draw on the bounce which leaves the title race wide open with 5/6 teams with a huge chance of winning the title.
The side went one nil down to Porthmadog thanks to a Chris Williams goal before Mark McGregor equalized in the second half. Nomads couldn't take there chances late on and were forced to settle for the draw.
Under 19 player Rhys Healey though came on again in the second half with Shaun Tinsley also on the bench. This was Healey's 10th first team appearance of the season a great achievement for the 16 year old striker.
Sunday saw very tight and competitive academy cup games between our 12s and 14s sides.
Our 12s earned a two two draw with goals from Owen Manley and Ben Finnegan and 14s a one one draw with George Rathbone getting the goal with a well taken penalty.
Both games were played in good spirits and some good football was on display.

Make Perl Scripts More Readable With perltidy
Even so, from time to time you might come across a script left over from before your time or written by a colleague in a hurry that on examination bears a strong resemblance to alphabet spaghetti.
Enter perltidy, a program generated from the Perl module Perl::Tidy, which saves you time by unmangling Perl code for you. You can download it from CPAN, or it may be available through your distro. (Debian and Ubuntu both provide it.)
Basic operation is simply to type perltidy badscript.pl. This will leave the initial file alone and create a new tidied-up file with a .tdy extension.
Alternatively, you can use the -b switch to do the opposite: Make a backup of the original file and then edit it in-line. The -syn switch will run a syntax check of the original code at the same time.
I tried it out on the second prize entry in the 5th annual Obfuscated Perl Contest. Although it didn't simplify the program logic any, it definitely made it more readable and gave a better chance of figuring out what was going on. Try it out for yourself, and see if it can save you some time and mental effort in disentangling confusing code.
Ed Note (Oct. 13, 2008): Thanks to Randal L. Schwartz for pointing out it's a good idea to set up tests for your code, to check that it does the same thing after perltidy is finished as it did before. As he discusses here, ultimately the only thing that can interpret Perl code entirely reliably is the Perl interpreter itself. So be aware that there are circumstances in which Perltidy (and similar programs) can break code!

Fuji surprise us all and announce two new and very interesting digital cameras. The 2900Z (top) sports a 2.3Megapixel CCD @ 1800 x 1200 whilst the 1500 (bottom) is a 1.5Megapixel CCD available in a variety of colours. These cameras will probably be named Fuji MX2900 and MX1500 when they reach the worldwide market.
Fuji Finepix 2900Z (AKA Fuji MX2900)
Essential (brief) specifications:
- 1/2" 2.3 Megapixel CCD (1800 x 1200, 1280 x 1024, 640 x 480)
- 3:2 image aspect ratio (same as 35mm film)
- ISO 125 rating
- Large diameter low distortion "fast" lens
- 3x zoom (35-105mm equivalent on a 35mm camera)
- 2.5x digital zoom
- Full manual control: Aperture and Shutter priority and full manual mode
- Auto and manual focus
- Whitebalance: seven modes plus manual presetting
- Shutter speeds: 3s - 1/1000s in manual, 1/4s - 1/2000s in auto
- Exposure compensation: -0.9EV/+1.5EV (0.3EV steps)
- Optical viewfinder
- 64 area matrix metering
- TIFF uncompressed mode (4.3MB @ 1800 x 1200, 610KB @ 640 x 480)
- Three JPEG (EXIF 2.1) compression modes
- Burst mode of up to 3fps at VGA for up to 9 images
- Built in and hot-shoe flash socket
- SmartMedia storage (up to 32MB card supported)
- Supplied with 8MB SmartMedia
- RISC CPU for high speed image processing
- Lithium-Ion battery pack, charger and AC adapter included
- Magnesium alloy body (corrosion and impact proof)
- Built-in map viewing software which allows the user to pin-point the exact location of image being taken (more info on this soon...)
- "Best of framing" feature (not sure on this, may be similar to Nikons BSS...)
- RS232C/RS422 connection
- Video out
- 130mm x 69mm x 60mm @ 385g
- Expected 99,800 YEN (US$811)
- Optional: wide angle adapter, lens thread adapter & soft case
Both of these cameras should be available on June 22nd in Japan (who knows how long after that for the rest of the world). The 2900Z looks like a very interesting camera espeically with its featureset plus built-in flash and hotshoe, I just wonder if SmartMedia will ever catch on...
The 1500 is a departure from Fuji's "upright" design and looks more like the Nikon Coolpix 700 (however it's worth noting that the Coolpix 700 is 2.1 Megapixel, the 1500 shown below is only 1.5 Megapixels)...
Fuji Finepix 1500 (AKA Fuji MX1500)
Essential (brief) specifications:
- 1/2" 1.5 Megapixel CCD (1280 x 1024)
- Fixed lens (38mm equivalent on a 35mm camera)
- Light aluminium alloy body available in three colours (see below)
- ISO 125 rating
- Shutter speeds: 1/4s - 1/2000s
- Exposure compensation: -0.9EV/+1.5EV (0.3EV steps)
- Whitebalance: seven modes
- Optical viewfinder
- 10cm macro mode
- Three JPEG (EXIF 2.1) compression modes
- Map viewing function (see above)
- SmartMedia storage (up to 32MB card supported)
- Supplied with 4MB SmartMedia
- RISC CPU for high speed image processing
- 2 x AA NiMH batteries and charger included
- RS232C/RS422 connection
- Video out
- 104mm x 69mm x 31mm @ 250g
- Expected 62,800 YEN (US$508) - for all colours ;)
of both cameras can be found

Ya I guess, under the old USB systems they were known to round off the 1's and 0's of a digital signal, you guys crack me up and you might want to do some research into how digital works.

Re: Jitter is not audible.
This AV forum is rediculous. Look how they are letting Doug Winsor, who using varoius names has repeatedly been banned over at AVS Forum, post here using my real name Steve Bruzonsky and saying things I would never say. And despite my bringing this to the attention of the forum moderator and owners, they have done nothing! Following is my email to them to which I have received no response.
-----Original Message----- From: Steve Bruzonsky Sent: Wednesday, January 13, 2010 5:26 PM To: 'email@example.com' Subject: Audio Video Revolution forums http://www.avrev.com/ Dear Sir; Please immediately delete threads and posts by "Steve Bruzonsky" as this person is impersonating me and posting opinions and information very different from those which I hold. A few days ago I joined your forum as "stevenjbruzonsky" since the imposter was using name. In past years I have posted at a number of web forums,mostly audio and home theater,always using my real name of "Steve Bruzonsky". I just never got around to posting at your forum. But it came to my attention that an imposter was posting as me at your forum so of course I went to check this out. Although I am an attorney in real life, audio video has been an extreme hobby for many years. I've posted over at www.avsforum.com since 1999. I moderated the AVS Special Guests and Tweaks forums over at AVS Forum from 1999 - 2003, bringing in weekly Special Guests from the AV Industry, like Sam Runco, Paul McGowan of PS Audio, Texas Instruments, Vizio when they were only V,Inc., etc, etc (I retired from the moderating hobby fortunately in 2004) I setup the first few AVS Forum CES Parties. At the first two of these parties, I obtained over 10 grand of merchandise which I gave away each year to forum members who came to the parties. My quotes were in print AV mag ads for PS Audio's P300 Power Plant in 2000 and again for PS Audio's Premier Power Plant in 2007. If you are interested, here's a lotta info re me and home theater: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...5#post16725555 I have no doubt that the imposter is Doug Winsor, an alias banned from AVS Forum last year, then allowed to come back, and banned again earlier this year. He has used a number of different monikers and seems each one gets banned eventually. Being well known in the AV industry has its perks - often wholesale pricing on AV gear. Of course, if the imposter continues this charade, Folks will start to think he is me, and his opinions are mine. I think know the legal term for that. Please consider this email as notice for you to take prompt action so that this imposter's libeleous drivel is no longer available on your website(s). Please ensure this is accomplished within two weeks. Please notify me what action is taken and when. Steve Bruzonsky Attorney At Law

Re: Jitter is not audible.
The Moderator did nothing but after a bit of a "legal threat" referred me to the forum owner. Then I emailed the forum owner
who as you can see will care less. Eventually when they read the caption of a lawsuit glaring at them across their desk maybe they'll get the message.

Maybe you should put it in writing on paper like suggested. There is no way to verify anything via an email.
That's just a suggestion from me and opinion of mine and not necessarily the position of the forum owner. But if you are who you say you are, you would know that a physical document will get results whereas an anonymous email may not. I have previously requested you conduct this in PMs and in writing and off of the public forums. So if you continue with this type public posts that are basically attacks on the forum, it will be you that will be banned and posts removed. |

Birmingham boss Alex McLeish has not ruled out midfielder Alexander Hleb for Sunday's Carling Cup final clash with his former club Arsenal.
The 29-year-old was stretchered off with a knee problem during Saturday's FA Cup fifth-round victory over Sheffield Wednesday at St Andrew's.
The on-loan Barcelona player left the ground on crutches and his chances of being ready to face the Gunners appeared to be slim.
But a scan yesterday revealed no ligament damage and now Hleb will await the results of a meeting with a surgeon in London today before a final decision is made.
McLeish said: "It is not a ligament problem. Alexander had a scan yesterday and it is just severe bruising.
"He is seeing the surgeon in London today and I haven't ruled him out for Sunday.
"Alex has great skill and massive experience and it is something I'd like to be able to call upon at some stage in the game if he is fit.
"We will probably know more by tomorrow lunchtime."
Striker Cameron Jerome and defender Martin Jiranek are expected to be fit after ankle and thigh problems respectively.
McLeish said: "Cameron has not trained yet this week but I believe he will be okay for the final and it is the same with Martin."
The former Scotland boss is close to finalising his team to face the Gunners.
He said: "I'm pretty sure about the nucleus of the side and I know that some people will miss out but that is my job.
"I always pick my teams fairly without any influence from what players may say or what the media may say."

Over the holiday break I really let my mind wander a bit and think about the things that inspire me right now. Aside from visual inspiration on Instagram, one of the things I'm most intrigued and inspired by is a new business. Whether it's someone leaving a job in finance to start a bakery or a graphic designer going out on their own, I love the excitement and passion that come from a brand new business. So I decided to expand on our business and interview content by creating a new series that interviews two great businesses in the same nice, one that's just starting out and one that's been around for a while and knows the ropes. I think there's so much to learn from both new and more veteran businesses, so I'm really excited to see how these interview pairings go and what they may inspire in others. To start, I thought about my favorite thing about mornings: coffee.
I've been following Heartbreak Coffee, a new coffee company that launched in Long Beach, California last year. Their branding was so spot on that I took notice on Instagram and immediately began following them. From there, I was blown away by their passion, determination and the way they were taking a grass roots approach to growing their brand and getting the word out about their coffee and what made it special. Owner Gretchen Williams worked as a barista for years and was inspired by the relationships she saw her community building around coffee ("It's like tuning in to listen to the hum of an entire community"). Those connections inspired her to start testing her own roasting techniques (not all of which worked out) and from "many heartbreaks" came inspiration- and a new company. We got the chance to drink Gretchen's coffee this week and aside from being delicious (and tasty for dessert recipes), I think her passion for her business will help her go far. I hope you'll enjoy her interview and thoughts on starting a new business as much as I did. Stay tuned this afternoon for the companion interview with Doug Zell, founder of Intelligentsia Coffee. xo, grace
Photographs by Michelle Bandach
Click through for the full interview and photos of the team and space behind Heartbreak Coffee…
Your name: Gretchen Williams
Your role at Heartbreak: Owner/Proprietor
Your location: Long Beach, CA
How long have you been at Heartbreak?: 3 months
Where can people find your business online: Instagram, Facebook, our website and our online shop.
Design*Sponge: What was the inspiration/reason for starting Heartbreak?
Gretchen Williams: The relationship that a community shares with local coffee.
Working as a barista in a small coffee shop for several years, I've seen teenagers go out on their first dates, seen old friends reunite after years on end, seen relationships grow, seen some dissolve, seen marriages and families grow and even seen some divorce… And I've seen heartbreak… so many times. I think people find a sense of comfort in coffee shops, whether it be for seeking connections or seeking peace. And I think that these personal connections which people share within coffee shops are just the most magical thing – it's like tuning in to listen to the hum of an entire community. It's surreal. It gives me goosebumps just talking about it.
The original reason why I ever even considered pursuing something within the coffee niche is because I fell in love (hard) with the idea of sharing that kind of space with my community. And with that, I've experienced my fair share of heartbreak trying to see this dream come to fruition. I've had so many opportunities present themselves to me, and then have had them unexpectedly fall-through for one reason or another. I didn't even begin roasting my own beans until about a year ago when I felt like I hit rock-bottom with everything. I literally woke up one morning and started roasting. It just felt "right". It was only at that point that I truly began to obsess over the beauty and pride in making a specialty cup of coffee. Since then I've been roasting always with an open mind, making connections with coffee nerds, bean importers, and local roasters. I am, and always will be, searching for ways to expand my coffee vocabulary, experience and knowledge.
D*S: What is a day in the life of your job at Heartbreak like? What takes up the majority of your work day?
Gretchen: Heartbreak Coffee is an in-home operation, which I run with my business partner and girlfriend, Michelle. It consumes my day from the moment I wake up, to the moment I go to sleep – but it never feels like a "job". I check my emails first thing in the morning and write down my list of incoming orders. I make sure our dogs are all happy, healthy and fed, and then I begin my day. I make a list of supplies needed (i.e. more jars, more beans, paper/etc.) I start my roasts in the kitchen, while Michelle begins writing out the tags and cutting the labels (yes, every single tag and label is hand-cut and hand-written), we sanitize each jar, label everything, organize our orders, pack, ship, reply to emails and keep up on social media somewhere between all of that. I even make time to deliver my coffee locally on my 1971 Honda CT90 for my Long Beach customers. The two of us do everything – from every single aspect of marketing and maintenance to full-fledged production and networking.
D*S: What is the thing you're proudest of that you (or the company as a whole) have done at Heartbreak so far?
Gretchen: This may sound cheesy, but I am proud literally each and every single time someone tries my coffee. I live for the "oohhhh" moment people get when they take their first sip. Being able to share my passion for fresh, artisanal coffee is a dream come true to me.
And to be entirely honest, considering that Heartbreak has only been around for about 3 months, this interview is really just the biggest, fattest cherry on top. You should have heard Michelle scream in excitement when she heard that Heartbreak was going to be on Design*Sponge.
D*S: We love your branding and the identity associated with Heartbreak (it's fantastic)- how did it come about, how did you decide on the look and what role does that play in the brand and company as a whole?
Gretchen: Thanks so much! I have to owe all props and praises to my partner, Michelle Bandach, she's a genius and extremely talented. We wouldn't be getting nearly the amount attention we are if we didn't have a great looking name, product and logo. Considering she is the brain behind the identity and design, I feel like I should let her answer this one:
I really wanted the name to symbolize everything Gretchen had experienced and was envisioning with her coffee. It finally came to me one day as I was asking her about her favorite moments as a barista. I really loved the idea of tapping into that community "hum" and being inspired by all bittersweet things in life. It's a perfect play on the taste of coffee too. Visually, I wanted something something timeless, but still current. And personally, I like walking the line between masculine and feminine design – I feel like it embodies a balance between everything I look for in successful identity work. In hindsight, using the word "coffee" in such a bold and memorable way was probably the best design and business move I could have ever made!
And selling our coffee in mason jars is both aesthetic and functional. Roasted coffee has a life span of up to about 2 weeks – it reaches it height in flavor and body somewhere around 8-10 days. After that, the beans begin to oxidize and become stale. So selling our coffee in smaller, airtight, 6oz jars means that our customers can easily enjoy a truly fresh cup of coffee within 2 weeks time. It not only looks great, but also serves an important purpose.
D*S: What brands or businesses do you admire or want to emulate (in terms of values, etc.)?
Gretchen: It's difficult picking a single brand. I think the thing that I admire the most in any business is seeing creative passion and a drive to share it with others. I have to say that I am inspired on a daily basis by small businesses (some of whom I'm lucky enough to consider my personal friends): they display the ultimate desire to become personally connected to their communities and always, always choose quality over quantity. I want to forever maintain that mentality within my business.
D*S: What has been the biggest challenge starting business so far, and what are you doing to solve it?
Gretchen: Sincerely, the biggest challenge thus far has been keeping up with demand. As a team, Michelle and I are INCREDIBLY lucky to have the right combination of creative/financing skills to have launched this business entirely without any outside help, but since it is only a two-person production being run out of our home, things can get a little overwhelming sometimes.
I am looking to launch a Kickstarter within the next 3 months to help fund expenses to open up a brick and mortar location for Heartbreak Coffee. This way, I will be able to increase production with a larger roaster in a larger space, and finally have the community coffee shop I have always dreamed of having.
D*S What was the best piece of business advice you were given when you started?
Gretchen: "Every roadblock is a blessing in disguise". So true.
D*S: What advice do you have to new businesses in your field starting out or what are the top three things someone should consider before starting their own business?
1. If you love what you do, you will never see it as a just a "business" – because it is a part of who you are. So if you don't love it, you probably shouldn't pursue it.
2. Don't sacrifice quality for quantity. Ever.
3. Never underestimate the power of social media.
4. And never underestimate the power of kindness.
Sorry that was four…
D*S: What are your goals going forward or next steps you'd like to take as a brand?
Gretchen: My main goal at this point now is to have A SHOP! Just one! It's the entire reason why I fell in love with specialty coffee. I want a space where people can come in and experience that magic feel of a local coffee shop, and enjoy a carefully-crafted cup of coffee or espresso at the same time. I want to really try to be a place where people can learn about roasting, grinding, pouring, and tasting coffee in an artisanal way. There is a change happening in coffee culture right now – people are starting to pay more attention to their coffee, their beans and their local roasters… and I couldn't imagine myself or Heartbreak existing in any moment other than in this very one, right now.
I am in love with this whole interview. Great job Heartbreak! As a coffe enthusiast this whole vision resonates very deeply with me. I can't wait to try some of this coffee!
I love this concept, Grace! I cannot wait to see where this goes. Well done!
Is there a list for the coffee products/tools in that picture?? I'm wondering specifically what kettle and grinder she uses.
Love the idea of two similar company profiles, fascinating. Love their packaging.
This is great, I hope you get a storefront soon! Note to Gretchen: Your website blog link still has the introduction First Post "this is what you would write here" type of message. In case you wanted to clear that out.
I am a huge coffee lover and some might call me a coffee snob… I am always interested in trying something new. I need to get my hands on some Heartbreak! I am in Vancouver, BC, so I don't know how that will occur at this point. Love the passion, the branding and from what you have described I am certain I would love your coffee.
Jenna – I use the "Hario V60 Buono Kettle", as well as the "Hario Mini Mill Slim Coffee Grinder". The investment is well worth it! If you had to choose any single thing off of that product image, I would definitely suggest purchasing the grinder. That is the #1 thing that can help differentiate a great cup of coffee vs a good cup of coffee!
Ashley – shoot us an email at email@example.com – we are currently in the process of streamlining our shipping options. We can get a jar out to you in the meantime no problem!
Andrea – Thanks for pointing that out! We still have a ton of kinks to work out since we are still a start-up :)
Thanks for posting, It's great to see their passion being channeled into their community. Thanks for posting and best of luck to Heartbreak Coffee!
I cannot love this column concept enough! Having left my corporate job to strike out on my own a little over a year ago, I know that it can sometimes feel like you're floating out at sea all alone when you're figuring out how to run your own company (no matter how well you're doing it). I know that I find the stories and journeys of other people that are crazy enough to make the same leap endlessly inspiring and proof that it CAN be done and IS being done all over the place. Keep rocking, Heartbreak!
Yay Long Beach! We have a ton of amazing artisanal start-ups happening in this city. It's a very exciting time to be here. Congrats to Heartbreak Coffee!
I am very proud of you Gretchen. Your coffee is delicious, your brand is remarkable, and your focus on Quality is awesome!!!
Yay Long Beach! So great to see new businesses that realize the importance of branding & design… although I'm sure having a designer for a GF helps :) Good luck to you!
I love this idea of the start-up/vets series. It's almost like you can see a bit of where Intelligentsia started in the Heartbreak interview and a little of where Heartbreak could be in 15 years in the Intelligentsia interview. And I must say – I love the name Heartbreak Coffee and the strong, simple graphics. They're very memorable.
I've been reading D*S for a while now and keep coming back for the great little nuggets of wisdom and how-I-got-there-from-here moments to be found in the interviews. They are instructive and encouraging for someone who wants to start a business, but is looking for something unique and human over the cut and dry business model. Thanks to D*S, Intelligentsia and Heartbreak for sharing what you do with us.
This was so inspiring. It is sometimes frustrating to do baby steps when growing a business because you want it to just take off already. These four topics Gretchen mentioned really helped as I am still "waiting to be discovered". :) I am so in love with interior design that I just can't contain it or keep it to myself.
Thank you,
Janeane1. If you love what you do, you will never see it as a just a "business" – because it is a part of who you are. So if you don't love it, you probably shouldn't pursue it.
2. Don't sacrifice quality for quantity. Ever.
3. Never underestimate the power of social media.
4. And never underestimate the power of kindness.
What is going on in the 7th picture!? I keep wanting to read this interview but get distracted by that image! Do you know the german knee held mill from Zassenhaus? More precisely this one? http://www.amazon.com/Zassenhaus-156BU-Coffee-Grinder/dp/B004RXSD9Q/ref=pd_sim_sbs_k_2 It's what we used with our Bodum French press. Both are awesome for camping or surviving a power outage! :) What are you thoughts on those 2 products?
Go Heartbreak! I'm inspired reading through this interview! And also craving some coffee…
I grew up in Long Beach – it's a great community and I can't wait for the "brick & mortar" version of Heartbreak Coffee – In the meantime I guess I need to get an order in – Congrats and keep up the good work (and thank you D*S for the Long Beach love!!)
Wow…. heartbreak coffee your spirit and vision is truly heartbreaking! Thank You, you have inspire me
Hi Gretchen, forgive my ignorance on the subject but where did you source the metal pour-over cup thingie in the last picture? Thx
I'm excited that more women are entering the roasting and production side of coffee!I'm a female coffee roaster based in Detroit and I've tried hard to shift the gender balance of our production crew. When my company hired me, there were actual scoffs, out loud, over whether a woman could perform the physical tasks of the job. Anyway, you rule and I love what you're up to.
Also, that Konga is soooo delicious. We're using it in a few espresso's right now and it's insane. I think all of specialty coffee will be sad when this year's crop is gone.
Adore this! And I'm really impressed by the new format. Well done, Design Sponge.
I can't get enough of the Biz Ladies column and I'm going to gobble this new column up!
And I agree with another commenter, "go Heartbreak!" I love the quality over quantity, the handwritten labels and the purposeful packaging. I wish I was in Cali so I could experience the coffee locally! -
Thanks everyone so much for the love and support!!! We are so blown away by all of the amazing things everyone has been saying – we feel so blessed!
Berangere – to answer your question – we have never been able to test out a Zassenhaus for ourselves, but we've only heard really great things about their products! And we love that use a french press! It's so great to hear that you enjoy manual brewing :) Have you ever tried out a Chemex?? If you love your bodum french press, we definitely recommend looking at a Chemex as well! It's currently our favorite way to make our daily cups of coffee.
Donnarino – we love getting most of our brewing equipment online from http://prima-coffee.com/ – their prices are competitive and they sell only top-notch stuff. We recommend the "Kalita Wave"and "Bee House" coffee drippers for anyone interested in home brewing!
LIZ – our hearts are exploding with you. We have discussed this exact statement so many times with one another… It's definitely difficult being female within such a male-dominated industry. What is the name of your shop???? We want to be friends!!!!! And yes – that Konga is beyond exceptional. We are going to be so sad to see it go :(
Can't wait for you to get a shop! Loved reading about your journey!
So great to see great things happening in Long Beach, very inspiring and can't wait to try Heartbreak!
I checked the Prima coffee link. Thank you for sharing that. Loads of info! Now I know what that 7th picture means! New toy!! :D Never heard of Aeropress before. Funny that you suggested the Chemex because I've been thinking about it a lot! Almost 10 yrs. That's a long time don't you think? In fact I was just talking to my husband about it before I read your reply. A sign? ;)

Brandy Snifter
Brandy Snifter is a type of drinking glass which has a round base, short stem, and a balloon shaped bowl which is wide at the bottom and narrower at the top. It is mostly used for drinking brandy or other aromatic liquors. The wide bottom of the glass allows the release of aromatic vapors, while the narrow mouth helps to trap the aroma of the liquor in the glass. The bowl of the glass when cupped into the hands warms the contents of the glass bringing it to the correct temperature. This type of glass allows sniffing and swirling of the brandy and the fine crystal gives clarity to the deep color of the liquid, thus, making it an enriching experience.
Brandy snifter has long been in use. It was first written about, by a Roman statesman – Pliny the Elder (23 – 79 AD). It was preferred to gold and silver goblets in use at that time. The glass vessels were priced at the same value as the other precious metals. We also find these glasses in the famous painting ' Last Supper ' of the 16th century.
A brandy snifter is ideally used for serving brandy or whisky. However, sometimes it may also be used for serving cognac and certain aromatic types of beer like the imperial stout, double India pale ale and barley wine. In catering businesses, it is often used to serve cocktails as well as mocktails, or other type of mixed drinks. For the sheer clarity of the glass and the beautiful shape, it is also used for decoration or simply as a vase. Its use for serving frozen desserts and sundaes is also quite popular.
How to Buy a Brandy Snifter
While buying a brandy snifter it is important to cup the glass in one's hands to feel the grip and the shape. One could check for the type of crystal used to make it as that is responsible for the clarity and brilliance of the glass.
Popular Brands of Brandy Snifter
- Riedel Vinum Brandy Snifter – It is made by the world famous Austrian glassmakers. It has over 24% of lead crystal which gives it superb clarity and brilliance.
- Liugi Bormioli – It is made with crystalline glass and blown from lead free crystal. It is dishwasher safe.
- Schott Zwiesel – It is made with Tritan crystal. It is dishwasher safe and is made in Germany.

ManipulationDeltaEventArgs Class
Provides data for the ManipulationDelta event.
Assembly: PresentationCore (in PresentationCore.dll)
Name | Description | |
CumulativeManipulation | Gets the cumulated changes of the current manipulation. | |
DeltaManipulation | Gets the most recent changes of the current manipulation. | |
Device | Gets the input device that initiated this event.(Inherited from InputEventArgs.) | |
Handled | Gets or sets a value that indicates the present state of the event handling for a routed event as it travels the route. (Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.) | |
IsInertial | Gets a value that indicates whether the ManipulationDelta event occurs during inertia. | |
ManipulationContainer | Gets the container that defines the coordinates for the manipulation. | |
ManipulationOrigin | Gets the point from which the manipulation originated. | |
Manipulators | Gets a collection of objects that represents the touch contacts for the manipulation. | |
OriginalSource | Gets the original reporting source as determined by pure hit testing, before any possible Source adjustment by a parent class.(Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.) | |
RoutedEvent | Gets or sets the RoutedEvent associated with this RoutedEventArgs instance. (Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.) | |
Source | Gets or sets a reference to the object that raised the event. (Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.) | |
Timestamp | Gets the time when this event occurred. (Inherited from InputEventArgs.) | |
Velocities | Gets the rates of the most recent changes to the manipulation. |
Name | Description | |
Cancel() | Cancels the manipulation. | |
Complete() | Completes the manipulation without inertia. | |
Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.) | |
GetHashCode() | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) | |
GetType() | ||
ReportBoundaryFeedback(ManipulationDelta) | Specifies that the manipulation has gone beyond certain boundaries. | |
StartInertia() | Starts inertia on the manipulation by ignoring subsequent contact movements and raising the ManipulationInertiaStarting event. | |
ToString() | Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
The ManipulationDeltaEventArgs class contains data about changes in the position of a manipulation. The DeltaManipulation property contains the changes that occurred since the last ManipulationDelta event occurred. The CumulativeManipulation property contains the total changes that occurred for the current manipulation. You use one of those properties to transform the manipulated object.
You can end a manipulation by calling the Complete method or force the manipulation into inertia by calling the StartInertia method.
The following example shows an event handler for the ManipulationDelta event. The example uses the DeltaManipulation property to move, resize, and rotate a Rectangle. The example also checks whether the ManipulationDelta event occurred during inertia and whether the rectangle is touching the edge of a window. If those cases are true, the application stops the manipulation to prevent the rectangle from leaving the visible area of the application. This example is part of a larger example in Walkthrough: Creating Your First Touch Application.
void Window_ManipulationDelta(object sender, ManipulationDeltaEventArgs e) { // Get the Rectangle and its RenderTransform matrix. Rectangle rectToMove = e.OriginalSource as Rectangle; Matrix rectsMatrix = ((MatrixTransform)rectToMove.RenderTransform).Matrix; // Rotate the Rectangle. rectsMatrix.RotateAt(e.DeltaManipulation.Rotation, e.ManipulationOrigin.X, e.ManipulationOrigin.Y); // Resize the Rectangle. Keep it square // so use only the X value of Scale. rectsMatrix.ScaleAt(e.DeltaManipulation.Scale.X, e.DeltaManipulation.Scale.X, e.ManipulationOrigin.X, e.ManipulationOrigin.Y); // Move the Rectangle. rectsMatrix.Translate(e.DeltaManipulation.Translation.X, e.DeltaManipulation.Translation.Y); // Apply the changes to the Rectangle. rectToMove.RenderTransform = new MatrixTransform(rectsMatrix); Rect containingRect = new Rect(((FrameworkElement)e.ManipulationContainer).RenderSize); Rect shapeBounds = rectToMove.RenderTransform.TransformBounds( new Rect(rectToMove.RenderSize)); // Check if the rectangle is completely in the window. // If it is not and intertia is occuring, stop the manipulation. if (e.IsInertial && !containingRect.Contains(shapeBounds)) { e.Complete(); } e.Handled = true; }

Just because you've decided to book a stay in a cottage in Edinburgh,
doesn't mean that you have to spend all your time in our fair city.
Basing your holiday at Craigwell Cottage means that you are only a few
minutes walk from the main railway station, Edinburgh's Waverley
Station: the only railway station in the UK to be named after a novel!
During our October holidays this year we set off for a day in Glasgow
as we'd heard good things about the Kelvingrove Museum and Gallery,
and had been meaning to visit for ages.
A kids go free offer meant that I'd we set off after 9.30 and returned
before 4.30 or after 6.30 we could get 2 adults and 4 children to
Glasgow by rail for less than £18.
Forty-five minutes later we were in the centre of Glasgow, and a quick
trip on the Underground and a short walk and we were there. We enjoyed
looking at the design rooms, with their Rennie Macintosh pieces, and
at the collection of art by the 'Glasgow Boys'. The children liked the
animals, the mini museum and the climate displays.
We tracked down the basement cafe which we'd heard was worth a visit,
and can confirm that all 6 managed to find enough to satisfy the picky
eaters in the party.

"On résiste à l'invasion des armées; on ne résiste pas à l'invasion des idées." -- Victor Hugo,in Histoire d'un Crime (The History of a Crime) [written 1852, published 1877]
"There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come" -- Don Tapscott (paraphrasing Hugo)
Victor Hugo placed this thought into our collective consciousness in reflection of the days of the French Revolution and the Napleonic era, but it has since been such translated and paraphrased from the literal statement many times over in reference to innovation. I'd like to apply this now to the model of how we consume new business ideas, per the changing world of publishing. Moving to the newer e-book only model for business leadership content is still a brave new world.
I'm not referring to all the print business books which also have an Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook or other e-book format, but an original new work that really takes advantage of the new medium rather than than a bolt-on approach. When I read a Kindle book on my tablet, I often notice how poor the actual content design tends to be, ignoring the rich controls and interactive possibilities that you get in a digital format. This is also more than mere design but the way information can be presented in a useful, direct and interlinked way.
When I was informed about a new app from a business leader I follow and connect with often, Don Tapscott, I was definitely intrigued. Mr. Tapscott has put out a lot of thought-leadership material since his most recent bestseller with Anthony D. Williams, Macrowikinomics, although until now, it has not been in a single space where you can see his wide span of ideas.
To begin just on the point of design, this is really an app for the Apple iPad tablet (available on iTunes), not merely an e-book as we know it now--or perhaps, it is what we should expect from e-books. How is it different? The content is placed in manageable chunks which you can move through easily rather than a continuous swarth of chapter after chapter. It incorporates video interviews which really bring out the character and presentation style of Mr. Tapscott; flat text, even fixed images are just that, flat and fixed. There is life here.
What is in this app? First let's talk about who helped bring this to life: McGraw-Hill's Thinkers50 project, a biennial report of the top 50 business management thinkers in the world, and the University of Toronto Joseph L Rotman School of Management. During the middle of our interview back in November 2011, Mr. Tapscott found that he was listed as #9 on the current Thinkers50 2011. He also finds time to be an Adjunct Professor of Management at Rotmann, aside from global travels speaking and advising as leader of the Tapscott Group.
This really is an app from the Thinkers50 and after the brief introduction by Stuart Crainer and Des Dearlove from that organization, it does what this sort of app should do: highlight the business thought-leader. I'd have designed the content a little differently, as there are four sections of background information before we get to the real ideas in the content. I believe in ideas before people in general, and when reading any new book, I look to see how quickly they can get to the big picture and the heart of the matter.
The big picture is in the section "Featured Content", while the detail lies in "Don Thinking". This is where you start to see how this app brings together his ideas at the many events, articles, and studies in which he is involved. It begins with his keynote at TEDGlobal 2012 this past June (sourced from the TED conference), along with his own produced video that explains the key points of Macrowikinomics, as well as his Huffington Post article Living out Loud.
The "Don Thinking" section brings together articles and video from various sources: The Agenda show on Canadian Broadcasting Corp., The Edge, the Social Media Week event and web site, podcasts from CBC, Forbes.com, TEDxWallstreet 2012, the New York Times, and others.If you have not seen some of this content, you should really watch the TEDGlobal or the TEDxWallstreet to get that feel for his storytelling approach to complicated business ideas. What it is showing is not the multiple media of text, video, and audio, but also how a thought leader should be presented: from views and presentations in leading sources. Also note, this presumes an internet connection to get to the content since much of this is live. Technical and content aside, what I like is that it brings the thought leader more to life than a book in text could ever do.
[ Disclosure: The includes in the Business section my interview of Don in 2011. I was happily surprised to see it there. ]

Dental health during pregnancy isn't a glamorous topic, but it's an important one. Misconceptions and misinformation about dental health during pregnancy are common — and often these issues aren't discussed at prenatal appointments.
Consider possible dental health problems during pregnancy:
So what can you do to keep your teeth and gums healthy during pregnancy? Stick to the basics. Use a soft bristled toothbrush. Floss regularly. Rinse with a fluoride mouthwash. If you have morning sickness, rinse your mouth with a solution of baking soda and water after vomiting. Mix one teaspoon baking soda in one cup water.
Ideally, schedule a dental exam before pregnancy to treat any dental problems ahead of time. Also visit your dentist regularly during pregnancy — especially if you develop a dental problem. If you have questions or concerns about dental care during pregnancy, you can also check with your health care provider.

As Ethical Trading Issues Dominate Headlines, Apparel Industry Turns to Specialized Solutions — January 29, 2013
With fashion companies facing increased exposure to a range of social and ethical issues in the supply chain, iPad applications by DeSL, the apparel industry web solutions firm, have been designed to ensure ethical compliance and enable inspection teams to perform stringent product and quality audits at factory locations. To date, a number of companies have embraced DeSL's applications to help manage their ethical trading process. In January 2013, swimwear manufacturer A. H Schreiber implemented DeSL's solutions to help manage its supplier relationship process. The DeSL application offers a simple and thorough way for clothing companies and fashion brands to fulfil this due diligence, preventing the likelihood of negative publicity as a result of potential negligence in social and ethical management, such as health and safety issues. The solution is built around the concept of close collaboration between vendor and company, sharing required information and processes via the Internet. Many vendors are remotely located, in disparate time zones, so a real-time web-based solution overcomes many obstacles. Colin Marks, CEO of DeSL, says, "All processes from start to finish are managed by the application using a real time web based solution, backed up by iPad/Android, off line, synchronised apps. Many factory locations do not have good Internet access, using this technology enables work to be completed off-line at the factory, then simply backed up to the system when Internet becomes accessible. Our solution is extremely functionally rich incorporating inspection requirements management, critical path tracking and performance inspection." Colin continued, "The beginning of 2013 has already seen a number of ethical trading issues hit the headlines. The consequences of poor ethical trading processes are enormous, often a company will genuinely think they have all the boxes ticked, when in fact nothing could be further from the truth. We would ask any fashion company that has a desire to strengthen its ethical trading process to contact us now to see how we can help."

Hello. I have a 2006 M3. I'm the original owner and still under warranty until next month. I'd like to purchase the BMW extended (Platinum) warranty but can't find the MSRP. Back in '07 I purchased the BMW extended maintenance plan for $1195 @ MSRP (before the price increase). It was easy to find a dealer willing to sell at suggested retail because BMW posted the price on their website. However, under the new Gold & Silver plans they no longer post MSRP on the site. I called BMW NA and they told me BMW no longer has an "MSRP", each dealer sets their own price. Any guidance, aside from emailing all the dealers in my area, would be appreciated. Has anyone purchased this plan under the new structure? Ballpark figure? Thanks.
UPDATE: I just read the fine print for the Extended Warranty and spoke with a dealer. Even though I'm still covered under the factory warranty, I'm not eligible for anything but the power-train warranty because I'm at 47 months and 45 months is the cut-off. This is total BS.
Surprised that BMWNA or the dealer didn't notify you of this. You can take the powertrain warranty to have piece of mind or go the 3rd party warranty route.
I appreciate the sentiment and I've started to shop for a good indy shop The right thing for BMW to do; "grandfather in" anyone that met the previous 4/50 requirement, at least until the end of the year. That's reasonable, right?
UPDATE: BMW NA called this morning, they've amended the policy to include BMW's that fall under the original terms & conditions. If you own a BMW that is still under warranty you are now eligable for the extended factory coverage until the end of this year. I have to say I'm very pleased that BMW NA stepped up and did the right thing. They really care about customer satisfaction and handled this issue quickly and professionally. If anyone in NorCal is thinking about buying it, Sonnen BMW had the best prices by far.
Glad that you have gotten that squared away. Lets hope your M3 stays out of the shop. You should, however, bring the car to a indy mechanic right before the warranty expires so that he/she can go over the covered parts to see if anything is in need of attention/replacement. If something isn't right, then bring it into the dealer. Having two opinions on a car that is about to have its warranty expire is better than one.
Thanks for the advice. My sincere hope is that I wasted my money and that my M3 never sees the inside of shop for anything other than routine service. However, the peace of mind that comes with the additional coverage means a few more years of worry-free ownership. I must also say again how pleased I am with BMW NA. They really stepped up.

I wonder why when someone who can't sell cards post that they want to sell cards, someone else comes along and post that that person can't sell due to blah blah blah???? I'm sure we can read it from their profile right?
Ok, if you hadn't noticed...when he posted this subject he was a newbie(meaning he didn't know whether he can sell cards or not) then came the constant nagging from other players about how he can't sell his cards so he just gave up on the subject as you can see he didn't reply anymore...
Still I think it's unnecessary in a way, cos we want them to be active and having fun here and not disappear after their first post or so. I still think we should be more subtle when telling them.
I wanna buy a Uranus max. how much for it????
