Antispyware groups: Legislation still needed
Even though security technology is improving, spyware legislation is still needed from the U.S. Congress because many consumers don't use all the tech tools available to them, antispyware groups said Thursday.
Antispyware groups including the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) and StopBadware.org called on Congress to pass antispyware legislation during the last days of the 2006 session. Although some studies show a small decrease in the amount of spyware on PCs, the use of spyware that logs keystrokes seems to be going up, said Ari Schwartz, deputy director of the CDT.

A very well written character driven novel.
This great novel was turned into a spectacular movie starring two of my favorite actors, Julianne Moore and Ralph Fiennes. It captures the illicit romance amid a stormy political/military situation, like my favorite Graham Greene novels. I love how the story is told in the first person through Maurice's eyes, which gives it pathos and urgency. If you liked the novel, see the movie!
Whereas I really enjoyed the love story from the start with Bendrix's bitterness and undisguised jealousy, I had a hard time believing Sarah's sudden religiousness - it seemed too childish, this funny bargain with God, to be taken seriously. I was disappointed with the ease with which Greene would get away from a real discussion over God and almost gave up at the predictability of Sarah's death.
The book, however, really picked up at that point. The unlikely friendship between Henry and Bendrix, the slow influence of the Church over the story and Smythe's curious recovery all culminated to a brilliant finish: as far away from the beginning as could possibly be thought. In the end, atheism and religion come head to head, neither being conclusive, but with a hint of magic which reinforces the question... very adroit.
A seemingly simple book, but one whose construction deserve minute attention.
I've wanted to read this book for several years and I'm very happy I finally did. The book was almost hypnotic in its discussions of love, philosophy, politics and religion. The writing is very strong and the emotions run deep. If you're looking for an honest and anguished exploration of lost love, any type of love, this novel captures it perfectly.
A frustrating, solipsistic "romance" that explores the concepts and subtleties of hate as much, if not more, than love. Greene drags you through the affair of to infuriatingly damaged people and just when you want to throw the book across the room, he brings you to tears with a profound insight into loss, attachment, faith, and the strength found in weakness. Trust Greene to know what he's doing, even when you're ready to give up finishing the novel. He won't disappoint.
It is a good book, but no, it is not "literally" a roller coaster.
Powerful treatise on love, hate, and belief in God. Literally an emotional roller coaster - on the 1001 Books to Read before you die list.

Sorry to hear about Bear Stearns. I guess more financial instutions are in the same mess. People just thought rising home prices would cover bad loans. One man who earned $13 dollars per hour was loaned $200,000 no down payment for a home. Terrible Consequences.
Why did they even bother selling for $2? Is the board getting a kick-back? The office building alone is worth $12 a share.
the office building??? Come on, check out their obligations!!!
The Fed should up the limit on FDIC before there's a run on deposits. Lots of people have more than 100k at risk
Yeah, the building would be worth $12/share if they weren't in debt up to their ass.
This is only the first in what will be a slew of credit crunch related takeovers.
Damn good idea calling in from home and posting… it's about time. You only got one big problem now the FBI will be listening in from now on to you subversive comments… from home you think? Hell who cares the'll The Fed is going to get you one way or the other… being lost wages or Taxes in Death!
Put your money into a safe haven now! The only thing that is safe at this point is commodities. Gold, Diamonds, exploration company shares, and the like.
Wonce again DG, you have hit the nial on the head… "So the Fed forks over another 30 billion so JPMorgan can pretend to buy Bear Stearns."
u been screwed
2 is better than NOTHING!
Man, the world keeps on spinning and the dollar just keeps on'a droping. Can't wait till Monday at 09:30 hrs.
Woe is you… The LT Investor that stayed in… repeat… that stayed in!
they had $400 b of assets and 390 B of debt…the headquarters bldg has no place in this story of this magnitude. it is a rounding error….
Why won't Bear shareholders vote against this sale? File bankruptcy and start hitting bids.
Gee, I went to refinance my house loan in 2004, and the Countrywide guy said "Want to buy another house?" I said "No", since I had no income except SS. He said "Wait a minute", and then came back and said "I just got you approved for $300,000." May they all rot in Angelo's well tanned hell….
400b in total assets, 390b in total liabilities. The story is in one, in the short term liabilities and two, how accurate are the asset numbers.
$2 is nuts, looking bad all around with asia bleeding. LB gotta worry now.. I mean gotdam bear books must suck so bad! How in the world did they sleep on it for so long?? Poor US Tax payer has no choice but to pay up for BS madness.
Got dam bear books must suck so bad. Thank god they stopped existing for this kind of debt.
apx one-third if bsc,s shareholders are employees. they were powerless to sell or short or buy puts to hedge their positions. they deserve better than what they were dished up.
Finally the inevitable has happened, the band-aid can only prevent the bleeding for so long.
I wonder if the Bear execs get any huge cash payouts for this "change of ownership", as opposed to the bankruptcy they earned.
It looks like a good old fashion bank panic.
I think Lehman is in same kind of trouble. Maybe Merrill, too. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the subprime credit card issuers like Cap One ("What's in THEIR wallet?", LOL) … and, gulp … I don't want to even know (or stop to think too long) about what's truly going on over at Citi right now. Somebody call that idiot Prince allaweeds in the desert … hopefully, he's getting his cash together, because Citi is gonna be lookin for another big "infusion", REAL SOON.
U Think, OZ??
Any chance shareholder vote against this deal?
As long as panic don't prevail,it's fine.If not,as it might be,worse is yet to come.Dow jONES AROUND 8 000. IN SEPTEMBER.
Dimon is a GOD!!
Which one is next?? WaMu??
You're doing a great job Paulie.
Are shareholders going to agree to this?
Yep… he's getting his loose change together to buy Citi at… $4 – $5 Bucks… I think! When all is said and done! Say around June 2000ate! One will fall and the others are following… now!
The Strawman / cc: The OZ
Don't worry about our company, it's just a cous, we'll be back by next week
Market will rally tomorrow.
(Just Kidding)
Merrill is next in the line for the … $Muck Money Big (8) Guillotine… you think at $25 Billion and counting?
Oh wait, we got sold…oops disregard prior comment. Sell aggressively, but wait until Tuesday just in case the memo I got was a joke about a JPM buyout.
Does this mean that James Cayne is on the verge of being wiped out financially without any "golden parachutes" in place for execs (assuming he wasn't hedging his holdings in the firm)? Sure he might still be worth a few million, but he was worth almost a billion a year and a half ago.
The brokers are in risky businesses;risks are coming to roost.Bear Stearns was valued at $2; JP Morgan will lose 50% value in few weeks as it takes on the risks;Other brokers Lehman,Goldman will lose 75% value.Fed will also lose capital. We stop at dollar=50% .World will be poorer…God help us…
Tomorrow is S Patricks Day!!!
Wish I owned the pub next to B sterns
BS is done, Lehman will be gone next. At this rate, every big bank in the country will bite the dust by the end of the year.
This is greed at its worst, and it looks like no one is ready to give up their extra slice of the pie to save the market, but… if they don't there's a bigger fall coming.
pressflat…depression w/ inflation…coming soon
I own some Bear Stearns bonds. What happens to these bonds? Does JP Morgan assume this debt obligation upon closure of the deal?
Joe Rodney, you will have to wait for the P&S Agreement to read the details, the only thing I have read so far is that they are stepping in and assuming counterparty risk – immediately, with a $30Billion dollar guarantee from the Fed
Joe, Your bonds are likely safe. Equity holders normally cannot collect a dime until all the bondholders are made whole. Now, the secondary market for those may try to show you a low bid, so don't hit the first one you see if you need to sell. Otherwise, sleep tight.
If the PPI on tueday is bad…0.6+ catty bar the door
Monday will be bad, tuesday will be a bloodbath
The way I see it, Bear now buys time, thing get in order, market settles down somewhat and stockholders start voting against deal, JPM ups the price and it starts making more sense for everyone. This was a quick deal and I think JPM fully expecys to have to adjust the price up.
In spite of the stunning news tonight, Mariah Carey's Saturday Night Live! performance of her new single "Migrate" still pulsates through my head.
Looks like the banks are playing chicken… trying to see who can go the longest without flinching. BSC blinked first.
$800 billion more to come…
Bear profits by subprime and they now lose by subprime. Notice a lot of the subprime firms are out of business. You can only run a scam for so long.
As a BSC shareholder and a former stock analyst I dont see how you sell your firm, with a book value of $80 a share for $2. Maybe Im missing something here it sounds like the Fed and Bear Execs make out a lot better than shareholders. File backruptcy let the markets go to heck and return sharholders their money 12 months from now. Its not our job to keep the Capital Markets afloat. What a steal for JPM
I guess Alan Schwatz wont have to come up with the excuse that he is Irish to start drinking tomorrow
The Illuminati is playing the Wall Streeters like a banjo. This is all planned and now people are starting to realize that! Please you people don't try and blame this on people loosing their homes, that's just an idiot misdirection – What man was President of the United States, head of the CIA, and ambassador to China and who is in the oil business, has a son who is also President of the United States that refuses to defend the dollar, and started a war? There are supertankers leaving almost daily from pre-chosen pipelines with Iraqi oil to China that paid $0.00 for the lift. My son is a special forces officer (Green Beret) in Kirkuk and has seen this repeatedly and has been threatened if he says anything about it by the U.S. consulate there to whom he had alerted through military channels. Folks this is all a set up and it's just beginning. We are all in the dumpster big time. Don't listen to any of the Wall Street types. Thay have no isea what is happening but a few people in our government do. There is a standing joke here in Bahrain, everday someone in a small town in the U.S. with an alias goes to a P.O. Box to pick up a check for Dick Chaney, those no bid Haliburton contracts in Iraq are starting to pay off handsomely and the oil business is great. Come on wake up all those people you called alarmists were right. the old flimsy explanations don't hold any water now, Depression is just a foregone conclsion now. We've been had and all the little people as Leonna Helmsley would say will pay for it.
Remember the old shell game with a pea and walnut shells, well the Fed is playing it. They know all these banks are toast, but by playing this game they can hide it for awhile until it is all on the little guys shoulders. I use to think a lot of these dire theorists were crazy but know I know they were'nt, they were courageous. We have a wothless currency and we are totally dead in the water. If I were CNBC I would bolt the doors before the people with pitchforks and torches show up. Our government and some other very powerful people have sold us all down the river without a paddle. S–t!
It is time to fully embrace the emerging markets with child like enthusiasm. Its all gone pete n tong here!
Major mistake… should have let it go bankrupt… with FED intervention they stretch the agony and destroy confidence in the free market…
The message is.. irresponsibility is rewarded and the entire system may collapse. Buy Krugerrands and keep it under the matress… it is pretty much over…
How exactly has irresponsibility been rewarded? $2 from $170 is pretty much 'going bankrupt'! The Fed did not exactly 'save' BSC in this case. And the largest impact of this has been on the BSC employees who have seen not only their bonus (part stock) go down the drain but their savings too (many invested in BSC).
So markets ARE functioning. The Fed took a somewhere in-between stance, neither a full bailout nor a hands-off approach.
And lets put it this way. If you do not like THAT, then you should have also not liked the fact that billions of dollars were paid in taxes by BSC as well as their employees to the federal govt as well as the state. If others can and continue to live off of entitlement schemes, why should the people who actually PAY the taxes not live off of them for once?
Most of the liabilities on a bank balance sheet are customer deposits.
When my friend told me, I first thought it was a joke!! :(
The Fed is guaranteeing $30 billion dollars of worthless BSC debt. That is not the same as bankruptcy. That is a bailout.
Anyone know the health of HSBC?
What will happen to Bear Stearn Bondholders in this case?
Here in the USofA this is the closest we'll ever get to a bank NATIONALIZATION. I don't even think this sort of thing was pulled by FDR.
If you don't know what will happen to the bond holders … why would you invest in their bonds?
The Fed's bail-out is intended to clear the mortgage securities, and not Bears bonds. My guess is that at 2$/share there will not be enough money left to cover the bonds … and that you'll take a loss. But hey … at least you can hock the building!
Short every broker every which way you can and start with Goldman/LEH! Can't wait to see them tumble today…
I warned top global CDO, MBS, hedging fund managing directors,June 2007 Peking University International Financial Risk Management Conference and this blog last Sept that probability
based (MonteCarlo)CAPM asset valuation ignoting market fundamental price mechanism
and risk management,
over optimistic ,hedging on the wrong side
of interest rates,currency,
equities, housing prices,
will lead to trillion dollar
market loss, credit crisis, repeating 1998 LTCM crisis, rate cuts can not stop the
housing price slump , and recession.
There will be more Bear Stearn style hedge fund
failure in US and global financial market, betting
on the wrong side of investments.
details can be found
Don't worry everybody, subprime is contained! Bernanke told us so a year ago! By the way, have we had any news since then?
get the tasteless jokes on Bear Stearns rolling!!!
This video will sum up the whole damn thing.
I understand that it was the objective of bin Ladin to destroy the U.S. economy along with as many lives as possible. Looks like he's suceeding as far as the economy goes.
Id like to see some clear reporting on the salaries and bonuses that Bear stearns upper managment have been rewarding themselves with through this time period.
Does anybody here even pretend to care about the mortgage holders?
How does this affect Bear employees 401k's?
Anyone up for the reenstatement of Glass-Segal?
I seem to have misplaced my shredder. Help
People were lent The American Dream. The first wide scale attempt to create life long debt slaves has backfired, as for the first time, the common man has delivered a knock out punch, by making a smart business decision to walk away from predators that either need to be locked in a zoo, or released out into the Savanah. We, as Americans, will be tested in order to earn our patriotic adjective, instead of just narcistically borrowing it from our much deserved Forfathers. Let us get real!
why isnt there govt check for bad loads some one needs to double checks thede bank
BS wouldn't modify individual mortgage loans back to original issue rates, but they'll take $2 per share?? Hmmm….
The gub saved a bank? Go to Bear Stearns website and find where they call themselves a bank. This is an institution for the wealthy, and we average americans are bailing them out.
Why was only J.P. Morgan allowed to buy Bears Stearn? Weren't any other banks interested or was it some kind of inside thing? Doesn't such an under priced sale cause more distress than bolstering a struggling company? If the government could bail out Chrysler why not Bear Stearns?
So what happens to all the shares of stock that people have in bs if jp buys the company?…
The BS employees own 1/3 of the shares. A London form has 9%, a Bahama guy has 9% and Cayne has 5%. 56% of the shares are owned by 4 entities. Not that many shares in the hands of the public. The risks to the US finacial system are very substantial. The Fed met on Sunday for the first time in 3o years.

Computer is slow and freezes whenever it is loading something
I have been using my laptop without problems for about 1 year and a half. Recently, about a week ago, it suddently started to be extremely slow and freeze whenever it is loading something.
When I open any website, when I open a picture folder, when I open paint or anything else, my computer just start to load slowly and then completly freeze. The only thing i can move is the mouse and nothing else. I can't open Task Manager and I cant click on anything else. After a couple minutes (depending on the weight of what i am loading i suppose) it will unfreeze and run ok until i click on something else.
Open streaming site > Freeze > Unfreeze > Click on video > Freeze > Unfreeze > Watch the video without clicking anything > Pause > Freeze > Unfreeze > Play > Freeze..... And so on.
My windows is also very slow to start and close. When my desktop appears, my taskbar theme sometimes changes (won't change multiple times during a single session, only when opening my computer) and i get a windows error (a popup alert, don't remember exactly what it said). Upon closing my computer, there is always explorer.exe running and has to be shutdown.
I have also noticed that my sound is lower then it used to be, even when it is completly maxed out you can barely hear. I'm not sure if it is related but i'm just pointing it out.
Once again, this randomly and suddently happened without any new programs or new websites visited.
I have run AVG antivirus, Malwarebyte antimalware, superantispyware and ccleaner without any improvement.
I need your help guys show me your magic
Thanks in advance.

Miffed by Coffee Elitist Barista
- Bryn Dec 7, 2009 05:04 AM
Am I expecting too much?
I went to a nice coffee place in town, not fancier than your average cafe and I asked for a dry Cappuccino, because last time I got what I would consider a latte. I was then told that they don't "texturize" their milk there. So I said then can I have more foam than milk? I was told by the perky little barista "Just try it and see what you think."
So I ended up with a Latte with wet foam so they can do their little design on the top. I did not want a latte, I don't like them that much. When I go to an Italian Cafe I don't have to ask for a dry Cappuccino its dry enough. I doubt I'm going back there (there is a supermarket cafe that serves a local roaster down the block), but Did I have unreal expectations? That I should get the drink that I wanted?
No, your expectations were fine. The barista just didn't know what they were doing. You should have given the drink back and told her you think you got a latte and if you had wanted a latte you would have ordered a latte.
I usually find that simply requesting less milk works. Most cappuccino is too milky for my tastes, but trying to specify foam vs no foam, etc, hasn't worked for me.
But if it were me I probably would've returned it. She said, "Just try it and see what you think." You did, and you thought it wasn't good -- she should've made you a new one.
You didn't get what you asked for and were invited to "just try it and see what you think." You tried it and did not think much of it. Therefore you had every right to go back, politely explain that you tried it and didn't like it, and ask for what you ordered or for your money back.
re: jaykayen
This is true, but in many U.S. establishments the two are almost interchangeable, except the "latte" has no foam. This is why, if I want a cappuccino, I almost always ask for "less milk." Either way they're going to give me a lot of foam, but as long as the espresso beneath it is not too milky I don't care.
I've even had servers warn me something along the lines of, "Well, okay, but you know the cup won't be full!" I have to reassure them that I don't want a full cup, I want a strong cappuccino! Sometimes I've even just given up and ordered espresso with steamed milk on the side. This gets funny looks but whatever.
I had the same type of experience before. I had been to the same place a couple times and the lattes were always way too sweet. I told the barista that I wanted less syrup this time because it's too much for me. She then went on to tell me WHY they make it the way they do, made it the same way as always, then handed it to me. I was less argumentative back then, sadly. I remember walking outside, tossing it in the garbage and being irked that i just wasted $4. Never went back.
Nowadays, I have no tolerance for being argued with over simple requests. Coffee drinkers usually know what they like. I know that there is a fancy or "authentic" way to make things, but what's the point if people don't like it?
re: Azizeh
Latte with syrup??? Bleh. Should only be sweet if the customer adds sweetening agent...
re: Azizeh
<<Coffee drinkers usually know what they like. I know that there is a fancy or "authentic" way to make things, but what's the point if people don't like it?>>
Exactly, Azizeh. Well said.
My coffee-related life is uncomplicated, because I love and drink coffee one way--as coffee--black, no sugar. And it had better be hot, or I'm demanding a re-do.
But I get your point, because I like meat "well done". So does hubby. The grief we get over that! I don't care if the steak cartel tells us we're suppose to like it rare or medium rare or dripping blood or alternating internal flashing spirals of lime green and citron yellow. Maybe all the experts say a particular cut of meat is most flavorful and most tender when it's seared on the outside and a rosy pink inside. If we don't like it, we don't like it.
Eaters (and drinkers) of the world, unite. It's our dime.
re: Azizeh
Why would they put anything sweet in a latte???????????
I feel your pain. I've been having such a hard time finding a decent cappuccino lately. Foam that disappears in 5 minutes seems to be everywhere, when what I want is a thick stable foam that I have to almost spoon out of the cup, and lasts. What are the magic words to use to ask for the kind of foam I want?
re: babette feasts
Different types of milk foam differently. Skim or fat free produces better foam. Whole milk produces less.
The foam should be tamped down before being skimmed (not poured) into the cup.
When someone orders cappuccino from me I always ask wet (1/4 milk - 3/4 foam) or dry (all foam), milk choice (fat free, 2%, whole, or soy) and how many shots. Most people seem to be confused and don't know what I'm asking (re wet/dry).
Alright thanks everyone! I have a tendency to be a bit of a female dog sometimes so I thought I'd double check.
I have the very same problem with ordering and receiving a legitimate cappucino. I tried ordering 'dry' have now resorted to ordering a macciato. I have to say, very few baristas I have encountered know what a macciato is. The second most basic italian coffee beverage! At my local Peets, I almost got into an argument with one of the baristas over this. Plan C is now ordering an espresso with a little foam on top.
re: sdnativa
As soon as you start ordering an espresso with a little foam on top, they'll all be saying, "Oh, you mean a macchiato?"
re: visciole
That's because that's what a macchiato is.
Too often espresso drinks in the US are not true to the Italian definition of the drink.
re: scubadoo97
Yes, I understood that. Sdnativa above complained that very few baristas s/he's encountered know what a macchiato is; I just remarked, jokingly, that the minute one starts ordering by saying "an espresso with a little foam," they will all magically know what it is, and correct you.
re: visciole
Ha! exactly. welcome to my world. when I tried to solve the 'capuccino dilemma' by just trying to order a 'macchiato', more often than not the barista assumed I wanted caramel or some kind of syrup mixed into it. ] :-O
No wonder I long ago invested in a decent machine for my home!
re: visciole
re: visciole
The thing is that many people walk into a coffee shop ordering a macchiato and mean the bastardized Caramel Macchiato made famous by Starbucks (which contains vanilla syrup and caramel sauce in a latte macchiato). Baristas walk a fine line between deciphering what someone wants and embarassing/insulting a customer, especially where I'm from, Seattle, where people are somewhat crazy about their coffee.
Macchiato just means 'mark' in italian, so It might help to distinguish that you want an espresso macchiato (espresso marked w/ foam), not a latte macchiato (latte marked with espresso).
re: soypower
No you can see them clearly, but they like doing those latte art things and I don't really care if my coffee is art as long as it is what I want.
Also they pour the foam in, which I disagree with as well. Scoop! I like that airy milk!
You weren't served by a "Coffee elitist barista"
A person of that description would have had the vocabulary and chops to make your drink. However, untrained is the rule rather than the exception.
Tell them that the pretty little rosettes that they learned to poor don't belong on every drink they might have to serve.
re: Brandon Nelson
What I dream about telling elitist baristas:
"Your lovely foam 'art' only looks good on Guinness foam just before last call so please just give me the *%$*@# what I asked for."
What I really do:
Give a dirty look and walk out. Then go to a deli and get a regular coffee 'cause I get tired of dealing with the fancy-schmancy PITAs at the coffee place when all I really want at 6:30 AM is a cup of coffee.
Can you tell I got a bad cup of Joe this morning??
re: iluvcookies
If you know that regular deli coffee is what you'd rather have, then why don't you go to the deli in the first place?
There are a lot of ways to make coffee and I get that people like what they like, but why go to the schmancy place at all if its not what you like?
re: AuRevoirOeuf
I was having a bad day and the newly hired barista was trying to upsell me to some foamy drink at 6:30 am. Generally I get a good cup and no problems.
This was just a vent....
Milk Foam is detailed very precisely, the reason we have "wet" cappuccino milk foam is because you are adding milk to bring out sweetness in the espresso shot. As to the "dry" cappuccino, I personally see it as more of a dirty drink. It is not delicately processed or well done, its simple and forms odd flavors in the coffee. When you heavily foam milk it separates the water to whey protein in the the milk. In that you are bring low/dirty level flavors out in the coffee. If you are in a Artisan cafe, don't insult the Barista by asking for something not on the menu. Essentially they are giving you a Rolls Royce and your are complaining and asking for a Ford Focus. You don't go into starbucks and ask for a wet cappuccino do you? Let the experts give you the best, and if you want a stronger coffee order a macchiato.
Without attempting to judge the result, since I did not experience it, I have to say that my sympathies are with the barista. The whole "wet/dry" thing is bogus, as it does not begin to describe the nuanced blend in a real cappuccino. There is no such thing as a "dry" cappuccino. A "dry" cappuccino is simply an improperly made cappuccino.
There are very few places in my experience where you can get a properly made cappuccino, and it certainly isn't possible to get one from someone who asks you how you want it. The only place I will order a cappuccino is Caffè Greco in North Beach (SF). I just ask for a cappuccino. No "wet or dry." No "for here or to go." Usually no "single or double." And certainly no nonsense about what kind of milk to use. I get a perfectly made single cappuccino in a china cup of the proper size and shape, every time.
Call me elitest. I don't care.
A few days back me and DH went to a cafe. We ordered to Mocha and I asked mine to have double shots. DH went to restroom while the coffee was being served. When I asked which one is the stronger one. The server showed the one placed at my husband's place. I said that was for me. He switched but said "But mam this is the one with 2 shots" I simply nodded. Then he turned back again and said "are you sure you want the stronger one?"
How am I supposed to react to that?
re: GH1618
I totally agree with you. They are everywhere.
re: raisa
we were out of town and dh stopped in at the local coffee shop and placed *our normal coffee order.* which is on the stronger side... the barista's eyes widened and she blurted: "are you a musician?" dh replied "no, i'm a chef."
apparently that explained everything for her.... lol :)
A latte is espresso plus double the amount in volume of milk, steamed.
A cappucino is an espresso plus an equal amount of milk steamed to create a foamy top.
A cappucino senza schiuma is a cappucino without the foamy top.
I've never heard of a "dry" cappucino, personally, and I've never ordered that at a bar in Italy. i fear if I ordered that, I'd get a shot of espresso. Must be a regional thing?
In any event, you should have the drink you want, but maybe ordering a cappucino without the foam on top might be more clear?
re: sandylc
LOLOLOL I'll have a double nofun skinny pumpkin pie latte to go please? And make that a Grande...LOLOLOL
re: freia
I think the wet/dry cappuccino thing has evolved out of coffee shops (I blame Starbucks) making essentially a foamy latte and calling it a cappuccino. Those of us who don't want a quart of foamy milk then learned to ask for it dry, i.e. with less milk. My definition of cappuccino is equal parts espresso, milk, foam, with dry having more foam and less milk, wet vice versa. Either way, a cappuccino is not a 12++ ounce drink. I once stopped in at Peet's for a cappuccino, and the barista asked me a few questions, then said, 'so a trad capp?' (meaning 'traditional' cappuccino). Why yes, if I didn't want a cappuccino, I wouldn't order one! It struck me as funny and sad that we have so bastardized traditional espresso drink definitions that there is a need to inquire whether a person ordering a cappuccino actually wants a cappuccino or if they really want a foamy latte but feel cooler ordering a grande cappuccino. Ugh, this is why I'm glad I get free coffee at work.
Do you have a way of ordering to ensure that you get a stiff, stable foam? I like a cappuccino where the foam lasts for a while, and find it really disappointing to get one where the foam dissipates by the time I'm halfway back to my car. Does foam have another wet/dry spectrum, does it have to do with the fat content of the milk, or do we just have a lot of mediocre baristas? I've essentially given up on ordering cappuccinos.
But clearly, they DO texturize their milk there, as wet foam, so they can make nice designs in it which virtually disappear after the first good gulp. That would have annoyed me.
So, did you tell her what you thought?
I'd go back one more time and try again. ONE TIME< ONLY.
When I want less milk in my cap, I ask for a short pour. The milk remains the same, I just receive less. It works for me.
"Sure, you charge five bucks for a cup of coffee. It's putting out the tip jar that takes REAL guts."

I5.126 - Noble villa with ...
Villa | 6 bedrooms | sleeps 12
|Key Info
This villa is an elegant 18th century mansion near Siena in the Chianti wine region, perfect for visiting Tuscany and relaxing by the pool during your holidays in Italy. The villa has a vantage position on a hill above the old town of Staggia Senese. From the terrace of the villa you can actually admire the beautiful medieval castle walls that surround the village of Monteriggioni. The town still preserves most of its 13th century-era buildings and is a unique example of a medieval Tuscan town.
Its position in the center of Tuscany, just a few km from the highway Firenze-Siena and near the historic intersection between the Via Cassia and Via Francigena, is a perfect location from which to enjoy all of Tuscany, from following wine roads, touring cultural and artistic sites and enjoying good Tuscan cuisine in the many traditional villages of the area.
The villa was originally used by noble families as the manor home to which to escape to the countryside during the hottest months of summer. The villa has been restaured and today it is an ideal place to enjoy a pleasant and exclusive stay under the Tuscan sun and from which to visit the most important historical and cultural cities of the area.
The villa belongs to the same family for several generations and is now managed by the young owner and his girlfriend who take care of their guests with attention and respect in a friendly and genuine family atmosphere.
The villa is surrounded by a fully fenced park of 1000 m2. On the large area in front of the villa is a beautiful gazebo suitable for outdoor dining. To the sides of the villa, guests can enjoy relaxing on the elegant terrace where the lemon trees are housed. In a secluded area to the back of the villa, nestled among cypress and olive trees, is the swimming pool surrounded by a large green lawn.
Ground floor: On the right side of the large entrance is a wide, bright living room which is the largest and oldest section of the house (120 m2). Characterized by its great vaults, the living room is enhanced by a unique fireplace in green marble and is furnished with luxurious and antique furniture. From here, a glass door leads outside to the sunny terrace where several lemon plants are housed.
On the left side of the entrance, you'll find an elegant well-lit dining room with three windows overlooking the Villa's gardens. From the dining room you can access the kitchen, which has been completely renovated and is composed of a wide marble counter-top which allows very comfortable cooking. The kitchen has an independent service entrance behind the villa.
First floor: Sleeping area, fully equipped with air conditioning. The staircase that rises from the ground floor opens onto a grand living room with access to a balcony from which you can enjoy an exclusive view of Monteriggioni. This living room leads to the first of three double bedrooms with en-suite bathroom. A large and bright hallway leads to the other three bedrooms, two twin bedrooms with shared bathroom and one double bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Each bedroom has been furnished with attention to details and colors, retaining the charm of a refined atmosphere.
There is also a second floor, with separate access, that is the apartment of the caretaker who, with absolute discretion, will always be available for any requirement. We want to underline that, where not otherwise indicated, all internal and external spaces are at the exclusive disposal of the guests.
The villa and its park are suitable for small ceremonies and celebrations such as weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and other events.

Cheerios, America's No.1 cereal franchise, debuted in 1941 as Cheerioats. The nation's first ready-to-eat oat cereal has since become one of the most trusted and recognized brands in America. In fact, one of every eight boxes of cereal sold in America is a box of Cheerios. General Mills' popular franchise includes Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios, Multi Grain Cheerios, Multi Grain Cheerios, Peanut Butter Cheerios, Chocolate Cheerios, Frosted Cheerios, Apple Cinnamon Cheerios, Cinnamon Burst Cheerios, Fruity Cheerios, Dulce de Leche Cheerios, Yogurt Burst Cheerios and Banana Nut Cheerios. Dillon's DRIVE4COPD … Dillon's paternal grandfather, Stan Dillon, passed away following a battle with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD) in May 2012, sparking Dillon to partner with the COPD foundation to encourage all Americans aged 35 or older to log onto www.drive4copd.org/screener to take a brief, five-question screener to see if they might be at risk for COPD, a serious and progressive lung disease that is the third leading cause of death of Americans.If the screener indicates risk, patients are encouraged to take the next step and speak with their healthcare professional or call the C.O.P.D. Information Line (1-866-316-2673) to discuss what their score may mean. Because COPD is a progressive disease that causes irreversible lung damage, early diagnosis and disease management are critical to helping patients breathe better in the future. Time to Duel … The Budweiser Duels at Daytona feature two 150-mile races from which the majority of the final starting grid for the Daytona 500 will be set. By virtue of qualifying 16th in last Sunday's qualifying session, Dillon will start eighth in the second of the two qualifying races on Thursday, Feb. 21. Double Duty … In addition to competing at Daytona International Speedway in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series this weekend, Dillon is scheduled to drive the No. 3 AdvoCare Chevrolet in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race on Saturday, Feb. 23. The Daytona Nationwide Series race kicks off a season-long campaign in which Dillon plans to battle for the 2013 Driver's Title after earning Rookie-of-the-Year honors and finishing third in the final Driver's Championship Point Standings in 2012. The DRIVE4COPD300 is live on ESPN at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday. Off Season … Dillon has spent much of the off season hunting throughout the U.S., traveling to locations such as Texas, Kansas, Georgia and Montana to hunt with friends and family members. This will be your first Daytona 500. What does that mean to you? "The prestige that this race holds and being out here and being able to watch some of RCR's guys go to Victory Lane throughout the years and be in Victory Lane to celebrate with them has really helped me appreciate the race and made me even more excited to participate myself. It's just awesome to be able to fire the engine and try and make this race. It's just a great opportunity and I can't wait until Sunday comes." What did you learn during NASCAR Sprint Cup Series testing in January that might help you here at Daytona International Speedway for the Daytona 500 this weekend? "Drafting. It was pretty good to be able to get out there and run near the other drivers and see what the cars handled like. The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series cars didn't handle as well as the NASCAR Nationwide Series cars. There's just so much more power and less downforce. We're out there and it's going to be wild. You have to be able to be there at the end to make something happen. I think that's what all of these races come down to. I think we are going to have a shot just like anybody else once we get into the race." -Richard Childress Racing PR

This Little Underground: Orlando Music News covers live music
Chuck Ragan & the Camaraderie, Jonny Two Bags, Bartender Brian proposes, Spies on Bikes, Giraffage, Marble, Kattya Graham, Leo Aether
Published: May 7, 2014
Marble's more impressionistic soundscaping is an excellent place to underscore how much of a boon visuals are for shows like this (read: knob-twiddling and button-mashing, not a lot of physicality). The importance of that component ranges from welcome complement to saves-the-day bailout. I've seen some experimental electronic shows that would've made me flatline were it not for the visual rescue of Broken Machine Films. For his effective live video mixing during Marble's set, Guillermo Casanova (RIA's go-to visual guy) deserves due credit.
But one producer-type who can fly without that help is Giraffage, whose active, fleet-fingered live work was impressive. And musically, the guy kicks it pretty hard. Tastefully repurposing some near-classic mainstream songs with big energy and major low-end sickness, his jams are fresh R&B pump-ups for the underground beat scene.
Through the touring, heavyweight event-makers they bring here, local avant-minded music presenting group the Civic Minded 5 was ultimately my gateway to the amazing Timucua White House venue (timucua.com). But I've long wanted to get a taste of the more typical shows that happen practically every Sunday at this community treasure and haven of art, so I went in uninitiated to see a couple of Spanish-language singer-songwriters (April 27). Headliner Leo Aether, perhaps known best from Urbe Prima, showed a youthful folk heart that's fueled by passion, hot blood and somewhat overcooked pop and rock tendencies.
But local billmate Kattya Graham was a nice discovery. Her lovely performance was the star of the night. Though her launch point is the Mexican folk tradition, she's not necessarily a strict revivalist. Her songs are just simple grace and sweet soul-mining – the very essence of folk music.

Coast Guard Rear Adm. Robert Day says DHS budgets will be at near-sequestration levels in the next fiscal year.
Budget, workforce and cybersecurity are the most pressing issues for the Department of Homeland Security's component agencies because DHS officials say fiscal 2016 budgets are set for more tightening.
Fiscal 2014 and 2015 might see some freer spending to buy new IT, but as Rear Adm. Robert Day, commander of the Coast Guard's Cyber Command and CIO, sees it, fiscal 2016 budgets will "take us back to almost sequestration" budgeting.
"The pain will come back," he said during an April 14 panel discussion on current and near-future funding for cybersecurity, mobile and emerging technology at DHS. The event was sponsored by AFCEA.
Wolf Tombe, chief technology officer at Customs and Border Protection, and other top DHS technology managers echoed those sentiments and said they had spent much of the past week developing fiscal 2016 budget plans ahead of the Office of Management and Budget's May 1 deadline.
Tombe said CBP is turning to IT programs to help mitigate the expected budget pressures. Cloud computing and other efforts to consolidate services can help, but he agreed that fiscal 2016 will likely be stressful. DHS budgets in "2016 will be a delight," he said facetiously.
DHS' research arm, the Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency, is also planning on more belt-tightening, said Stephen Dennis, the agency's technical director. "We're like DARPA, only with not as much money," he quipped.
Although the financial outlook is bleak, DHS officials said they are pleased with efforts such as the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation program and cloud technology because they can offer some degree of relief. For example, the Coast Guard is moving its email service to the Defense Information Systems Agency's secure cloud network. However, Day said the savings from such projects are not enough to offset lower budgets.
Furthermore, the battle against cyberthreats will take up significant resources into the foreseeable future. "Heartbleed? We're going to see one of those every few months," Day warned. "It's a continuous cycle." But combining DHS and Coast Guard operations centers at DHS' new campus in Washington will help by putting shared resources and employees side-by-side, he added.
Tombe and Dennis said another nagging, long-term challenge is attracting talented employees. People entering the workforce in the next five years will have different expectations than those of their older colleagues, Tombe said, and DHS must appeal to those workers if it is to remain effective. He added that those changing demographics factored into CBP's plans to phase out BlackBerrys in favor of Android devices.
Dennis advised agencies to use their technologically unique capabilities to attract expert younger workers. He said HSARPA is using projects that crunch big data to attract talented, innovative employees.

People are playing with fire in their efforts to find cheaper heating options this winter, research by Electrical Safety First has revealed, with many unaware of the dangers that the alternatives can pose.
With concerns about rising energy prices forcing people to use portable heaters in order to warm their homes, the Charity is joining forces with The Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service to warn of the risks associated with these items as part of Electrical Fire Safety Week, which runs from 10 – 16 November.
Electrical Safety First's research found that 78% of people were worried about the rising costs of energy bills, and over half would use portable heaters as an alternative to keep warm this winter.
However, it was also revealed that many could put themselves and their loved ones at risk by using the heaters incorrectly. 38% of people admitted that they would leave a heater switched on and unattended, whilst 21% would leave one switched on overnight. And with portable heaters having caused 73 deaths, around 1000 injuries and over 3,800 fires since 2009/10,[1] the dangers posed by using them incorrectly are very real.
The elderly are particularly vulnerable. Those aged 80 and over make up nearly 40% of the fatalities caused by portable-heater fires last year,[2] even though 33% of people would use a portable heater to keep an older relative warm.
In order to minimise the danger, Electrical Safety First and The Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service have produced the following guidance for heating your home safely:
On this guidance, and on the dangers posed by portable heaters, Emma Apter at Electrical Safety First said:
"Having a warm home this winter is something everyone deserves, so we welcome portable heaters as a low cost option at a time when energy costs are spiralling. However, it is vital that the dangers associated with these items are understood – particularly as our research suggests that people are putting themselves and their loved ones at risk by using them in an unsafe way. "By following our short, simple guidance, people can stay safe and stay warm this winter".
Julian Fountaine from The Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service added: "With winter approaching, people will be considering the costs of heating their homes and many will be seeking cheaper alternatives. Yet the cost counting may not stop there if portable heaters are used incorrectly. Instead of saving money, you could be looking at fire, injury and even death. It is therefore vital that people take our messages on board and follow the advice provided".
Last year over half the 213 fire deaths in the home were caused by smoke inhalation. Working smoke alarms can give people the wake-up call they need to escape – because smoke will not, it will leave you for dead.
Shockingly, in the majority of domestic fires with fatalities, smoke alarms were either absent or did not go off – and a common cause was missing or flat batteries. That is why the Fire Kills campaign, run in partnership with the Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, is asking people to make an online pledge to test their smoke alarms this clock change weekend (25-26 October). A simple push of the test button and you will test both the power supply and the detection mechanism.
In March 2014, nearly one in seven people tested their smoke alarms when they changed their clocks to British Summer Time. This autumn, the Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is determined that even more people will keep their loved ones safer from fire by testing their smoke alarms. Everyone can join in and pledge to Tick Tock Test.
Pledgers will be able to sign up on the Fire Kills Facebook page or click on special Fire Kills 'Tick Tock Test' adverts when they see them online and on their mobile phones.
Over half the people who died in fires in the home last year were 65 years old or over. So as well as testing their own alarms, Fire Kills is urging householders to test for people who might need help testing theirs. The few seconds it takes to test could provide a few valuable minutes for loved ones to escape safely.
Fire Minister Penny Mordaunt said;
"The simple act of pressing a button and testing the smoke alarms in your home could be the difference between life and death. On clock change weekend, when you turn back the clocks in your home I urge everyone to Tick Tock Test their smoke alarms too. It takes very little extra time and could well be a life saver.
"At the last clock change nearly 1 in 7 people reached for the test button and I hope that this October many more do the same, not just in their own homes but in the homes of those they know and love who might find it difficult to test for themselves.
"I want to see thousands of responsible householders pledging to test – and then doing it over the weekend of 25-26 October. Let's save more lives". Julian Fountaine, Community Risk Manager said:
"Smoke alarms are a well-proven life saving tool, but they are no use if they are not working. You are at least four times more likely to die in a fire if you don't have a working smoke alarm, so taking the time to test the smoke alarms in your home could be a truly life saving decision."
"The clock change weekend can act as a great reminder to test your smoke alarms – so over the weekend of 25-26 October why not test yours when you change the clocks."
The new Fire Kills campaign focuses on the deadly effects of smoke –engulfing innocent victims as they sleep. Many people believe smoke will wake them up if fire breaks out – but it won't, it will leave them for dead. A working smoke alarm is the most effective way to alert you to the danger. The campaign features radio adverts voiced by actor Robbie Gee describing how smoke creeps around and engulfs you. The press and online adverts feature people asleep at home being overcome by smoke.
The Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service pledges its support for Gas Safety Week
As part of the Fire Kills campaign, The Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service has pledged its support for Gas Safety Week (15-21 September), and will be helping to raise awareness of gas safety issues.
This fourth annual Gas Safety Week will see the whole industry coming together to bring gas safety to the forefront of people's minds. Dangerous gas work can kill, so it is vital that gas appliances are safety checked at least once a year. If left unchecked, poorly serviced gas appliances can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. In the last year alone, 343 people were injured and 10 people died as a result of gas related incidents.
People can sign up to a free reminder service at www.StayGasSafe.co.uk (website), and use the interactive gas map to see how many unsafe gas appliances are lurking in an area.
Russell Krämer, chief executive for Gas Safe Register, said: "Every year, far too many people suffer from preventable gas related accidents, such as gas leaks, explosions, fires and carbon monoxide poisoning. It's great therefore, that the Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, as part of the Fire Kills campaign, has pledged its support and is raising awareness of gas safety issues, helping to let the 23 million gas consumers in the UK know about the simple checks they can make to stay safe."
Follow these simple checks to stay gas safe.
For more information or to find Gas Safe registered engineer visit www.GasSafeRegister.co.uk (website) or call 0800 408 5500.
With summer drawing to a close, Chimney Fire Safety Week provides a timely reminder to make sure that your chimney is ready for the winter months ahead. As part of the national Fire Kills campaign, the Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service are urging householders to ensure their chimney is safe and to have their chimney swept by a registered chimney sweep.
Open fires not only warm up a home, but also create a unique relaxing ambience. With the numbers of people using open fires growing, the Fire Kills campaign has provided some top tips for safer chimneys.
Always use a fire guard to protect against flying sparks from hot embers:
Make sure embers are properly put out before you go to bed
Keep chimneys and flues clean and well maintained
Julian Fountaine, Prevention Manager explains: "With the colder, winter months looming, people will begin to start using open fires and their chimneys again. In order to keep you and your family safe from fire, you need to take necessary steps such as ensuring your chimney is swept regularly, depending upon what fuel you burn and I would urge all householders to have a working smoke alarm in their home."
Smokeless coals
At least once a year
Up to four times a year
Bituminous coal
Twice a year
Once a year
Julian Fountaine adds: "Latest statistics show that there are approximately 7,000 chimney fires a year in England, but most chimney fires are preventable. "All chimneys and flue-ways should be cleaned and checked during the summer months to ensure they're free from debris and in full working order before the heating season. A blocked or defective chimney can cause both chimney fires and carbon monoxide poisonings so it's very important to employ a professional qualified Chimney Sweep."
To find a certified Chimney Sweep, or for more information on chimney fire safety, please visit:
Last year over 200 people died in fires in the home. You are more likely to die in a fire in the home if there is no working smoke alarm. So on the 1st of every month, test your smoke alarms and tick it off your 'to do' list. It takes no time at all and gives you and your family a better chance of surviving a fire.
First of the month - Time to Test.
