But as usual apple was not the first to design the GUI, but wanted everyone to think that.

Steve Jobs is gone, yet people will discuss him for years to come. I think Apple did a lot in terms of raising the bar for the Cell Phone Community. However when I hear people say he Created much of what we have now, well... I think this is a gross exaggeration. Did Apple marry many technologies to modern applications. Yes, they were the first.

Technology is extremely difficult to put a patent on. I am sure the law suits will continue. Stopping HTC and Samsung, helps Apple to increase its sales and freeze out the competition a little longer. Steve Jobs was a great one in making it seem that he and his company had designed and created everything that Apple had, but in fact much of it was technology that was already there. They either borrowed or bought the technology, and drove their engineering teams to make it better. That is far from the complete creation he imagined of all of their products. It is one thing for them to do it, for someone else to borrow and use their ideas is robbery, so typical. I know I will get a lot of Apple lovers sending nasty email. I have nothing against Apple and their Applites, I just cant stand the holy-er then thou routine... Rich Elkind 2011-12-25T23:59:56Z Jobs anger over Android was greater than that of Flash Stan Jez urn:androidpit:forum:post:1d63d8dbcf1d96ad7ec7191f08c73259 2011-10-29T08:55:28Z 2011-10-29T08:55:28Z Another gem I came across.

"Apple's lawsuits against Samsung and HTC have drawn commentary that the company might be attempting to litigate its competitors out of the market rather than relying on the free market to decide who had superior products. The new, authorized Steve Jobs biography, however, paints the company's legal actions in a different light. Jobs is famous for his blunt commentary—he once declared "We also know first hand that Flash is the number one reason Macs crash," and "We don't want to reduce the reliability and security of our iPhones, iPods and iPads by adding Flash," but his anger over Android was an order of magnitude greater.

Eric Schmidt, Google's former CEO, was an Apple board member from 2006-2009. He stepped down due to concern that Google's entrance into the smartphone market was creating a conflict of interest—but Jobs was enraged when HTC debuted Google's Nexus One, in early 2010. Jobs told his biographer, Walter Isaacson, that Android and HTC had engaged in "grand theft." "I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong," Jobs said. "I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this."

Jobs met or spoke to Schmidt at one point, but informed him he was utterly uninterested in settling the matter. "I don't want your money. If you offer me $5 billion, I won't want it. I've got plenty of money. I want you to stop using our ideas in Android, that's all I want."

The book sheds light on other aspects of Jobs' personality and life. He delayed cancer treatment for nine months (it's not clear if this delay caused long-term problems that led to his demise earlier this month. Steve told Isaacson, "`I really didn't want them to open up my body, so I tried to see if a few other things would work." When Jobs returned to Apple, he described the company's fall as being the result of "corrupt people" with "corrupt values" who cared only about making money. One could likely argue that Apple's long-term problems by 1997 were equally the result of poor business decisions—former Apple CEO John Sculley once noted that deciding to adopt PowerPC instead of Intel in the early 1990s was his greatest mistake.

Jobs carefully planned the legacy he'd leave at Apple and didn't take HP's decision to dump the TouchPad as a victory lap. "Hewlett and Packard built a great company, and they thought they had left it in good hands, but now it's being dismembered and destroyed. I hope I've left a stronger legacy so that will never happen at Apple." According to Jobs, Jonathan Ive, Apple's design chief, wields more power over operations than anyone other than himself (and possibly Tim Cook). The point, according to Steve, was to ensureWe no one could tell Ive what to do.

We can' help wondering if Jobs' passing will change Apple's willingness to settle over issues of alleged patent infringement related to Android. Thus far, Samsung has been Apple's primary target (the lawsuit against HTC, while serious, pales in comparison to the World War Affadavit Apple has unleashed against Samsung (the latter has begun fighting back and redesigning products, though Apple remains victorious thus far.)

My normal riding buddy is a less-than normal, or more-than normal guy named Sean, and he and I went riding yesterday, a fun ride in a part of a local hillsy park that requires a permit, which we both had. The entrance has a motorcycle with a red slash saying none of these, and the same with a campfire and guns
Rivendell MOUNTAIN works was hugely influential on my gear outlook back in the '70s. It disappeared for a few decades, and has resurfaced no less intense than it was at its peak, although under different ownership. Instead of one fellow (Larry Horton) and a few seamsters and seamstresses ("sewers" sounds write but doesn't read right), it's now one fellow (Eric Hardee) and his sewing machine. The menu is smaller, but RMW still makes the pack that made the company, the Jensen Pack, and has recenty brought back a fanny pack and two daypacks, the Lupine and Mariposa.
That's the link, and here's the plug: Daypacks are a dime a dozen, and although there are some companies that build as much complication as possible into 1200 to 2000 cubic inches, there is a different appeal to simple packs that don't claim to do anything other than carry stuff reasonably well, and last, and these packs do. They don't do it any better, and many day packs will last a decade or so, but if you're looking for a daypack and you don't have any strong feelings one way or another, go groovy and get one from Rivendell Mountain Works. They are as well made as they can be, and are priced below what many modern packs are. Fanny pack: $44. Lupine daypack: $70. Mariposa: $76.
SOLD OUT OF HALFMITTS. Yay and dang. Scrambling to get more soon.
I know I said no more Bosco-Rubbe stuff this time, but I'd forgotten about the buttons, which we just got in:
Rosco Bubbe, Bosco Rubbe—-potato, topado, all the same. The 1-inch buttons are made by Todd Zimmer, local button-maker and the maker of our RIV Button, below:
The buttons are on the site, listed for $1 each, but that's just to weed out people who'll take anything for free. When you order one, you get it free. That doesn't mean you can get dozens free, but one or a few, sure, as long as something else is in on the order, otherwise it's free button, $8 to ship.
Remember, oldsters, when L.L. Bean had free shipping for something like 85 years (since 1912, I think), and then no free shipping for a decade or so, and now it's free shipping again. Shipping costs are a big deal. On average, it costs us about $12 to ship a package, and we charge $8 unless you're a member and buy $150, in which case it's free. We can ship any given lightweight package cheaper through the postal service, but the post office won't pick up here, so it means a trip to the post office, which takes time and a body out of circulation…and tracking requires filling out forms, and means the cheaper actual postage rate doesn't reflect the actual cost. So it's UPS for now, but we're looking at FEDEX, too.
Sundance (catalogue) charges $16.95 for shipping. I ordered twice from 'em in the last month, and that's, like, painful shipping. I understand it, though.
Christmas music is not something that I think of myself as being into, but my 17-year old has been listening to an album by a duo called She and Him, and it's pretty good. If you like the old classic, "Baby, It's Cold Outside," you love their version.You can buy it at iTunes for $0.99 or something. They have a Christmas album…
SKS is working on a Longboard fender for 29er wheels—-big 700c-ers. We have a sample here and are monkeying with it.
It's a link to some high-carb (boo!) ultrafantastictasty (yay) fudge. One of our customers sent us some last year and this. We've bought more. Hey—-if you're gonna break out the carbohydrates EVER, it's worth doing it for this stuff.
This next has no reason for being here or anywhere else, but it comes up in my head a lot, and if I write about it maybe it'll stop—-not that it's all so bothersome, but something in my compells me to address it, at a slight risk of offending the super-sensitive, which I apologize for now. It is the stupendous calming effect of — no man, I can't say it. It'll be taken the wrong way. Onto other stuffs.
EcoVelo is shutting down (it's a blog) after many years and many thousands of posts, and what are probably, honestly, seriously, indubitably my favoritely lit and composed bike photos on the webweb. Alan and his wife Michael (think of the actress Michael Learned; same gender and first name, different people) have day jobs already, and want to devote more time to parenting. Got a prob with that? Anyway…good for them, too bad for many of us. They've left a good mark. Read and see more here:
A few years ago we recommended these. If you wear blue jeans and want USA made and don't need to have Sergio Valenti on the label and just want rock-solid denims. then get some of these. They gussets make them more bike-worthy than your current brand,which probably has about eight layers of denim right there where it all comes together in the crotch. Not these.
Dang, I hate this. Some of the bamboo banks—-well, it's like this. Sooper gruvy banks, but when they're stored near heat they split. Sometimes. And, it turns out, the same Chinese people who invented fire crackers and spaghetti and Marco Polo got the firecracker idea from tossing bamboo into fires. How that led to explosives, I don't know, by my source said there's a connection between the two. Heated air expands, and ker-pow! It kind of makes you want to throw a bunch of closed bamboo sections onto the hearth, doesn't it? Gramma, don't be scared.
This doesn't happen with the fabricated boxes, of course. Bamboo outlasts most wood (I know it's a grass, I'm just saying it outlasts mosts wood) in any application, so no worries there. Now, if you got a boo-bank and you're nervous, well either take it back before doomsday (which is not inevitable unless you, say, put it by the hearth or the area heater or store it in 100-degree dry heat for a while). And we will give you 50 percent extra credit, if it comes to that. I'm guessing that 95 percent will be perfect boo-banks forever, but I want to throw the option out there. Rich here uses some split ones (stored at 120-deg upstairs here last summer) for ultra-classy spoke holders for his wheel-building station. See here:
We are planning next year a little. The plans are never big, but the idea is to improve things where we can. We will be more visible. There may be an ad or two in Momentum magazine. We will have a paper catalogue for the first time in 6 years.
We hired a new guy to replace Jay. His name is Brian, and he'll start in January. Jay, meanwhile, will continue to build bikes and take calls and make videos.
Note to ten Special Mystery Bike buyers: John here will call you tomorrow for a deposit.
Riv $ News: We're on track to have a worse loot year than last. Sales up a bit, but no profit. That's how it's looking. It's not unfamiliar territory for us, but we need to work on it some. The strength of the Yen vs the weakness of the dollar is wounding us a lot.
Check out that She & Him song. Not bad.
I've been riding it a lot and in different conditions, and it's good. Yesterday Mark and I rode trails in nearby Shell Ridge (out to the gate just before China Ridge and back), and even though it's not a traily bike, it's good enough for any of that stuff.
I taped the bars:
Notice how your eye goes right to the wabi-sabi gap there. Planning on a gap, doing it intentionally, takes the pressure off of a perfect wrap, and when you're an imperfect wrapper like me, that's a good way to go. So much better than trying so hard to make it Mark-perfect (it comes easy to him) and ending up with a gap underneath after it's too late to fix. Although these bars are easier to wrap than drops.
I got some sticky letters at an office supply store and was experimenting with names:
I do like the name. I don't know where it'll go, but the nine Risk Taqueurs and one Taqueuse don't know what their bikes will say, and I have free rein, and I'm goofing around with variants. I like BOSCO RUBBE ("rubby").
And here, on the seat tube:
And here's the whole bike, closer to complete:
I now have a 24t ring on it, too. For me, I think the best combo would be 36 x 28 with a 12x36 in back. It's easy to foot-shift down in front, but you have to get off and finger-shift back up. It's easy, and the fingers can be a stick if you don't want to touch grease. Basically—-easy.
The effective chainstay with the wheel pulled all the way back is 47cm. The front-center, from center of crank to center of front wheel, is 68cm. This is my bike. I think I want to go longer in the rear for the other bikes—maybe up to 50cm. That means getting a new chainstay that doesn't yet exist, but I've drawn it up and I think it's gettable.
I like this bike more than I'm telling you. I hope more people can ride it. If you come by, don't expect to be wowed. It's not a wowy kind of bike. The biggest diff is the huge range of positions the bar provides, and that's also related to the toptube length and stem length, and —- well, back to the new longer chainstay: One thing it will do is something that may not even need doing, which is: evenize the weight distribution between the wheels. Think of this:
Let's say you have an extreme wackybad bike with a 40cm chainstay and a 70cm front-center, and to really ultra screw-up the weight distribution, you have a wayback seat post, a short stem, and the new Joe Slacker type handlebar that's on the RUBBE here.
In the old days, the Italians said you should have 55 percent of your weight on the rear wheel and 45 percent on the front, for racing. But the Italians were wrong about a lot of things back then, and we just believed them anyway, and lots of the things they were wrong about got passed down through the decades and is now commonly accepted as gospel, when it's not. Maybe the 55/45 is one of those. I'm saying that only because there's a strong tendency to fixate on numbers and think they're right even when they're wrong. I'm just saying, 55/45 is probably halfway normal for racingish road bikes, and it's a benchmark more than a goal.
Now, with the 40-70 rear half-front half with the short stem and wayback seat post and all, your weight distribution would likely be closer to 80-20, and in some conditions this wold be bad. Slippery or low traction turns, for one. But on a super steep descent, it would allow you to brake more on the rear wheel before locking it up. It might screw up front wheel braking, though. I will try my bike on the steep descents of Burma Road on Mt. Diablo one of these…weeks, if it's still dry. That would be a good test. Anyway…
The longer chainstays might make things even neater than they are, although I've got to say I can't imagine anything neater.
I'm riding tomorrow morning and will have the ROSCO here around noon, and I some some locals will come on by and try it.
Jay built up my bike yesterday. It was great having somebody else do it. I really like that. Mark has helped in the past. It was super busy today, with several job interviews, two missing (Dave and Miesha), and lots of visitors. But I sure did appreciate the help from Jay. Last night I rode it to visit an old friend in another town, and it's…well, listen. It's just a tester, to see if what I think should happen what I'd hope would happen would happen, and actually, it did, so I am relieved, not too surprised, and really happy. This is what makes me happy—when something new works as well in real life as it does in my head. It makes me feel competent. I don't bat 1.000, but you'll never see the misses.
I may change some things, but it is wonderful right now. Lotsa people here rode it and agreed, and no, they are NOT yes-people. If you're local, come and ride it.
As Jeremy guessed on the Rivendell forum—based on the long top tube—it's basically a flat-to-rolling land bike that, by virtue of its superlong top tube (62.5cm on this 54.3cm frame), locks you into a sweeepyback bar. That doesn't rule out touring or dirt riding, but those aren't the point, and to drive home the actual point, it has one water bottle, and no way to mount a front derailer.
The bike below also has a 12cm stem, which, with the longie top tube, really shoves the stem clamp out to kingdom come, but jacking the bar up reels it in some, and you can really, honestly, fine tune it to nirvana with stem extensions and raising and lowering. In between the stem clamp and the end of the grip is somethiing like 9 inches of comeback…and then the grips come up a lot, so when you're back on the sweepback you can sit up, and when you're up on the flat part, you get down lower, as is only natural and good in that position. How low and far you lean is easy to adjust with the stem length and quill insertion. We have the supergroovy Tallux stems now, and a short-armed, short-waisted woman could ride the bike with a 7 or 8cm stem, and a long=waisted, longer-armed guy can sink a 13 stem down low and do fine.
On a drop, your wrist-in grip is forward of the stem, and on this bar (and all sweepy bars) it's oppositely—the bar comes back toward you. The combined effects of the tall stem quill and 7 to 13cm extension that gives you the range, but it wouldn't work without the starting megalong top tube.
I don't mean to say that this combination is genius, or that it trumps all other bar-stem-top tube combinations, because that's nuts. I'm just saying/suggesting that it's kind of a neat and novel way to go about getting a tremendous range of body positions, from Professor-Upright to Obree-Downright, with one bike.
My idea was…it's a limo-'muter, but with speed potential, and insanely comfortable. And furthermore, the idea is that you'd lock it in with commutable specs that make sense for you, and then hone your other bikes in for other stuff. I'm not explaining that well.
Here it is:
It's the old (but still current) 40 x 32 Sugino "Quickbeam" crank, but with the 32 removed. I'll probably put it back on, or ask Jay to. I have an 11-28 cassette on it, and the 40 x 32 is low enough for my uses, but the 32 weighs a couple of ounces, and hey, what the hey.
The loopy things are for a webbing strap, a grab-handle for lifting. But hmm, you see, the loops and straps and a front derailer (if you insist), and in the case of this sample here, even the water bottle braze-ons all want to or do occupy the same region, and it can't work. So…easy to move the bottle braze-ons to the diagatube. Nobilette suggested that (I had him add the straploops after he'd put on the bottle braze-ons—-so, it's not like he's a fool. It was my mistake.) On the next ones, the bottle will be on the d-tube, but the issue of loops versus front derailer still remains, and the neat thing about the next 9 that have been pre-sold is that as part of the program—-the low price for a bike of this type—is that those guys (and one woman) don't get to say whether they'd rather have a front derailer or the strap loops, and in some cases maybe we WILL put a tube-handle on it. But the thing is, the diagatube itself is a nice enough handle for lifting, and how ergo-cushy does a lifting handle have to be?
Also, consider this: On a two-chainring bike like this, where the second ring is strictly a bail-out, do you need a front derailer? Use your fingers or a stick. Stop, change gears, get back on. It's super easy, and is a nice little protest against the ultra-dumbing down of shifting that is happening now with electonics masquerading as technological improvements. For racing—whatever—-those guys take dope and tout whatever they're paid to tout, and shouldn't drive the market, but they do. I like digital or woody shifting for a bike like this.
The right shifter here is a Silver set up on a super cheap stem-shifter. Jay removed the original shifter (pure friction, fine, but with a plastic wingnut) and put on the Silver. Left shifter removed, stump remaining (see below) and begging for a bell.
A rider's view of the front, pre-bell.
I put a bell on it. Now I can fulfill my longtime dream of being able to ring and shift at the same time.
Here's the bike, shot pre-bell. I've ridden the bike about ten miles so far, including some hill-sprints that I often do on the way to work, and everything's fine. I use all parts of the bar. The off-the-saddle climbing position and grip is great—-as good as on a drop bar or better. The narrow time-trialy grip is, too. The normal grip is fine. I'll go to cork soon, but for trying out stem lengths (I got a 12 on, may go to 11, not sure), I'll stick with the cloth tape over cork tape that Jay put on it. I'll have a kickstand on it by 3pm.
The curvey diagastays are part style, part theoretical function. The main chainstays are 47-48cm long, and I'm far from a whippy chainstay fearer, but I like to use their bracing function as an excuse to curve them. They could have gone right to the dropout, but let's have some fun.
I'll soon add fenders, maybe a Mark's rack and basket, and I already put a saddlebag on it. It's stylish, but first it has to be useful.
Any of you who are local are welcome to come by, try it out.
(Note to all who ordered one of these without knowing anything about it: Thank you for doing that. We'll ask for the deposit soon, but mainly, thanks. It allowed this to happen, and yours will be better than mine. A little different, but only in good ways. I am really happy with it. Still don't know how to decal it—-will decide later. Also, altho we've stopped doing clear powder coating, if you live inland where the air isn't salty and you don't ride on salty roads, clear powder may be an option. Otherwise, I'll pick the colors for everybody, and they may be different. I'm waiting for version 2 of the dropouts to come in before making yours.)
My odd new frame came in, and read the post below for its history and what it's about and all. Right now…here are some pix.
There it is, in all its raging glory. Its oddpoints jump right out at you, don't they?
But all frames mellow out with parts, as complete bikes. Besides, anywhow—-I like this. There is…much beauty in it, and even more function.
Let's jam that head tube full-o'-lugs! It is hard to make a functional case—-on this bike—-for the diagatube. I don't own a bike with one yet (getting a 56 Sam soon, but I've been riding the demo, so there's no immediate need)—-and I've had diagatube envy, now solved. Oh. You want "trad"? "Classic"? Hmm. I've been there, I know what it's like. Now I want better.
Nice dropout. I wanted our new ones, but at build time we were out of them.
The bike isn't a normal road or trail or touring bike. It's something else. It will DO those things, because it's a good all-around bike…but it's FOR something else, and is not for everybody, and that is not reverse psychology. It really, truly, is NOT for everybody.
Lots going on here. Maybe too much. Well, it's mine, and subsequents will be a little different here. It's being clear-coated now (that place is 200 yards away and has promised to return it tomorrow, and I'm eager to build it).
All for now.
FLASH: It just came back from the painter. You'd THINK, since I am the boss, that I could kindly snap my fingers and have minions build it up. We got no minions here, though—-just busy people, and I've got my own load, so between all of us, I hope to have it together by Wednesday.I'll rig up the bars, shifters, grips, brake levers. I'll find wheels, or borrow them from another bike. The usual scampering, trying to get it together as cheap as possible but still good.

how many abortions are performed in the United States every year - how many have been performed since the 1970´s after Roe . Wade? How many of those aborted people were women?Wouldn´t the right of a person to live be more important than the right of a person to have free birth control?The pro-abortion "feminists" say that it is about "choice" - a woman´s right to say what goes on with her body and the life of another person within it - okay - so, what about the People´s Republic of China where women are forced to have abortions, they do not have a "choice" to not have an abortion. Shouldn´t the "feminists" come to the defense of the "right to choose" for those women?That darn Shrillary - I think I had better go watch tv, find an old movie.

We traveled 3000 miles, from a farm in North Idaho to Marblehead!! We were tired and looking forward to jumping in bed in a cozy room. We have stayed in many B&B's over the years and some are cold with drafty breezes...........but not at the Harbor Light Inn!! It was nice and warm when we arrived. The bed was very comfortable and the staff very informative. We absolutely loved this place and would recommend it any time. The next morning we went to the Town Hall and saw the original painting depicting the Revolutionary War. We then happened onto an old cemetery from 1629. Go to the top of the hill and read about the brave Marblehead patriots who said good bye to their wives and children and confronted the British Navy off shore.....what great men!!

My husband and I stayed here for our first anniversary and had a great visit! The place was charming and cozy in a really nice town, very clean, nice employees. We loved the homemade breakfast of casseroles, quiches, muffins, etc. Such a perfect weekend getaway, hope to return soon!

Thank you so very much for helping make our first trip to your lovely part of the country unforgettable. My brother and his wife visited Marblehead a couple of years ago and are still praising your beautiful inn. Harbor Light Inn is certainly worthy of that praise. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Recent trip to the north shore of Boston and we happened upon this delightful intimate hotel. Great hostesses, beautiful room and wonderful complimentary breakfast. Met lots of fun and interesting people in the tavern. Can't wait to come back when pool is open!

My husband suprised me with a 2 week vacation to New England, and a seven night stay at the Harbor Light Inn. The east coast is so different than our home in Lynden, Washington. We had a wonderful time in the third floor room with private balcony. We watched thunderstorms, wedding fireworks and enjoyed breakfast in the morning sun. The food was abundant and delicious. I found myself wondering when the staff had time to do "all that baking"? Darryl and Susan helped us plan excursions to out of the way places, Parker River Bird Sactuary, Rockport for shopping and the beach and the apple farm where we enjoyed apple donuts and a variety of fruit wines. It was a short drive to the subway station for our excursions into Boston, Lexington and Concord. After a day on the Freedom Trail, in the heat, i was great to come back to our quiet "home". Marblehead did not feel like a tourist destination, we actually became a part of the town for those seven days. It was so sad to leave, we have great pictures and some wonderful memories. Thank you to the staff for making our time so enjoyable.

For almost a decade--the season of fall has come to be equated with The Harbor Light Inn---elegant-historic-ambiance---the essence of relaxation in a first class environment---the inn is furnished in Traditional-Federal and Georgian Court antiques---pristene and well-kept---additionally--a cordial staff-the grounds are well-manicured---the dining room never disappoints--location is essential and provides a landscape of local New England color---

Big house on a narrow street in Marblehead,MA is where you will find this not to out of the way Inn. Harbor Light has much to offer when in the Boston area. Wait staff is both friendly and knowledgeable of the area, and very accurate as to where you might find some good eats. Great walking town with some interesting shops to browse and a short drive to Salem and ferry to downtown Boston. Clean rooms, great views and quiet nights make for a sweet stay whenever!

We had a lovely time at the inn. We were visiting Marblehead for a family function which included bringing our elderly parents. In fact they went out of their way to place us in convient locations since we wanted to avoid the stairs because of our parents.They will quite thrilled with the rooms. The service was wonderful, the breakfast was quite filling and with plenty of delicious choices. We loved the deck and the pool was very pleasant to sit by. I would recommend this hotel to any one who appreciates service. It was a little expensive but what place in Marblehead isn't?

This place was highly recommended and I was excited about staying here but much to my dismay, it was a let down. DO NOT STAY HERE if you want a non-commercialized place to rest your head. They have a tavern that is open to the public and the place was quite loud past Midnight. I paid much more for my room because I made an advance reservation. The guy that came in off the street paid $30 cheaper than me. I was not happy. There was no in-room control of the air so we were given towels and a pillow to cover our floor vent. This didn't work and we were freezing along with listening to the drunkards falling in the pool and partying it up all night. It is a nice place, but not a "home away from home". I did like the all day coffee and the pool. The manager did offer to upgrade us to the suite the following day, but we really didn't feel safe in this BnB due to anyone off the street being allowed in to drink and party in the tavern. Great charming town, just pick a different place to stay than Harbor Lights.
Réponse du propriétaire
We are sorry to hear of this guest's unpleasant experience at the inn. We do have a small tavern that is open only to 11:30PM. In the state of Massachusetts, any establishment that has a liquor license must be also open to the public. Our small tavern seats only 8 people and no one is allowed out at the "guest only pool" other than inn guests. The pool area is closed after 10PM. The guest could have simply closed the air conditioning vent in their room if it was too cold. We did offer them a suite upgrade. Any noise complaint made by a guest to our night manager is taken very seriously and dealt with immediately. There was no call to the night person or tavern about any noise complaint. If they had called the night manager, any noise issue would have been dealt with at that moment. If you are staying at a hotel or inn that has a restaurant or taverm, then the public does have access to the property. We make the enjoyment of our guests our priority and have never allowed partying or access to our pool area after 10PM. That area is exclusive to inn guests only. We regret that the guest did not bring this complaint to our attention earlier, so we could continue to strive to make their stay as pleasant as possible.

Aceh teachers visit Minaret College
In October 2009, during trimester breaks, the cohort from Aceh visited Minaret College - Islamic College of Melbourne South and East, in Springvale and spent the morning meeting with the Director/Founder Mr. Mohamed Hassan OAM. They discussed curriculum, results and community activities with staff. The group were very fortunate to visit classrooms from junior, middle and senior schools, and observed teaching techniques as well as participation in classroom activities.
Minaret College is a co-educational independent Islamic school. It was established in 1992 to provide an integrated curriculum for children from Grade Prep to Year 12.
The integrated curriculum includes subjects which are taught in the Victorian Education System, Australia, in addition to Islamic studies, Qur'an, Hadith and Arabic.
The College aims to encourage and assist young people in developing the skills, attitudes and forms of knowledge both secular and Islamic, which they will carry with them into adulthood. Thus, our college endeavours to ensure that all students have access to a common and comprehensive education by which they gain the knowledge they need to participate in a democratic multi-cultural society.
It also believes that sound teaching and learning practices should offer young people the opportunity to grow as autonomous Muslim adults and introduce them to their rights and responsibilities within their respective community.

This was Mojo.
Mojo was an APBT bought from a "good" breeder as an 8 week old puppy. He had UKC papers and was an attractive blue brindle and white (picture is bad, but he was truly a gorgeous dog).
Mojo was housebroken, knew sit, stay, and down, was good with other dogs, and even good with children.
Mojo and I have a history. He was first owner surrendered to us because his owner's apartment no longer allowed pit bulls. I remember after a long day with the "difficult" dogs I expected a large bully like him to be hard to walk and manage–nope, he sat for me to leash up him up and walked calmly around the shelter, sniffing other friendly dogs and ignoring the reactive dogs. I made sure to spend a lot of good time with this big sweet boy for the couple months he was there.
I was so happy when he was adopted, and surprised when he came back a month later because his owners were "moving".
It took another month, but he was adopted again to what seemed like a good home. He growled while playing tug, which anyone who knows jack shit about dogs is NOT an aggressive behavior, and was promptly returned because they didn't want to take the chance of him being "an aggressive pit bull".
After yet another month and a half, he was adopted again. At this point I wasn't hopeful. I was right not to be so. He was returned a month later because "the wife didn't want dogs anymore" with a little cattle dog mix friend.
Today, Mojo was euthanized. Yes, with his UKC papers, his training, and proof of being friendly with kids and other dogs. We ran out of space, and staff at this point didn't think any adoption was going to work out, so they gave up on him. He was only 3 years old.
Don't EVER feed me that utter bullshit that it's okay to breed your dog because he's got "good lines" or "papers". The shelter doesn't give a shit about your papers. People don't give a shit about papers when it's a pit bull type-to most people, a pit is a pit.
Mojo's death made me realize something today: People that can say it's okay to breed pit bull types when they're they account for 1/4 of all shelter euthanasias in the U.S. sicken me. Period. End of.

Get personalized academic information about your child.
New York City's new system of teacher evaluation and development.
We're looking for great teachers, principals, administrators, executives, and more. Join us today.
Statement by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg:
"When we took control of the schools, there were 77 schools in our City that were under registration review by the State. Today, thanks to our focus on high standards and holding our schools accountable for results, we have only 20 schools on the SURR list. Across our City, more students are meeting and exceeding standards in math and reading, the graduation rate is up more than 20 percent, schools are safer, and parents have more choice than ever. Today's news is another sign of the progress we've made turning America's largest school district around. It's also a reminder that we have to keep the progress going to help every student and school succeed. Congratulations to all of the teachers, principals, families, and students whose hard work is paying off."
Statement by Schools Chancellor Joel I. Klein:
"There are now fewer SURR schools in New York City than ever before, even as the State raised its standards this year. Fewer New York City schools were added to the SURR list this year than in any year since the list was created two decades ago. We also saw the biggest annual drop in the number of New York City schools on the list in five years. These encouraging signs of progress are the result of the high standards we demand from every school. If a school fails consistently to help its students make academic progress, we will close it whether it is on the SURR list or not."

The good news that all Spurs supporters have wanted to hear – Hugo Lloris has signed a new Tottenham contract to remain at White Hart Lane.
Following a disappointing season for Tottenham last year there had been uncertainty over the future of goalkeeper Hugo Lloris who, along with Christian Eriksen was one of the few bright lights at Spurs last season.
After returning from the World Cup in Brazil where he led France to the quarter-finals, Lloris has signed a new contact with Tottenham. Commenting on his decision, to the club website, Lloris said,
Everything is clear in my head and if I've signed a new contract it's because I trust the Club.
Lloris said that he is happy at Tottenham and feels an important part of the club,
It's very important to feel at home at club and for my family to feel well. I enjoy great relationship with Club and fans.
He has signed a new 5-year contract with Tottenham after speaking to the Chairman, Daniel Levy and is satisfied that the club have ambitions for the future.
I spoke with the Chairman and I know the Club is as ambitious as ever.
Lloris spoke of the importance of the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as manager and hie plans for the team, saying,
The arrival of Mauricio Pochettino is important as well. I have a good feeling with him. He is also ambitious.
Hugo Lloris signed for Tottenham in 2012 from Lyon and has been an outstanding and consistent player for Spurs in the past two seasons. Persuading Lloris to sign a new contract is an important step by Tottenham this summer as they faced the possibility of clubs across Europe making an approach to sign their goalkeeper who was one of the best at the World Cup.
Reflecting on the disappointment of last season, Lloris said,
Last season wasn't the season we all hoped for but we were still able to finish sixth in the league. We know where we have to improve, the Club also knows and there is a feeling and a confident connection between the Club and the players.
There has been much speculation in the past few days linking Tottenham will new players but this agreement with Lloris over a new contract will be one of the club's most important signings of the summer.

Graphics::TranslateTransform Method (Single, Single)
Changes the origin of the coordinate system by prepending the specified translation to the transformation matrix of this Graphics.
Namespace: System.Drawing
Assembly: System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)
- dx
- Type: System::Single
The x-coordinate of the translation.
- dy
- Type: System::Single
The y-coordinate of the translation.
The origin is typically the upper-left-hand corner of the drawing surface. The translation operation consists of multiplying the transformation matrix by a matrix whose translation part is the dx and dy parameters. This method applies the translation by prepending the translation matrix to the transformation matrix.
The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, which is a parameter of the Paint event handler. The code performs the following actions:
Rotates the world transformation matrix of the Windows Form by 30.0F degrees.
Moves the origin of the graphics object by calling TranslateTransform, prepending the translation to the transformation matrix.
Draws a translated, rotated ellipse with a blue pen.
public: void TranslateTransformAngle( PaintEventArgs^ e ) { // Set world transform of graphics object to rotate. e->Graphics->RotateTransform( 30.0F ); // Then to translate, prepending to world transform. e->Graphics->TranslateTransform( 100.0F, 0.0F ); // Draw translated, rotated ellipse to screen. e->Graphics->DrawEllipse( gcnew Pen( Color::Blue,3.0f ), 0, 0, 200, 80 ); }
The following illustration shows the output of running the previous code example.
Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)

Starting a Web Site at UAA
This guide is intended to get you started managing your website. The most important part of creating any website is preparation. These are the steps you and your group should take before anything actually goes onto the web. Much of this work can be conducted informally in small groups. The main point is to collaborate and record information about your site well before you put anything on the public web.
Determine the management roles
First identify a Publisher, Content Owner(s), and a Site Administrator. These roles help you maintain your site and inform the University who is responsible for the various UAA Web sites. Small sites might assign multiple roles to a single person. Example: the Dean is the publisher, sub-department heads are content owners, the computer person is the site administrator, and a couple of other people in the department are contributors.
Determine your target audience(s)
Your web site should target an audience. Identifying this group will help you make decisions about the organization, language, and look of your web site. Some well known audiences at UAA are groups like staff, faculty, students, engineering majors, grad students, the public etc.
Determine the purpose or objective(s)
Determine what your site is meant to do. Is the site meant to drive action (enroll, donate, get on the mailing list, get involved)? Does it provide facts? The purpose of your site should be made clear on your homepage.
Make an Outline
Identify the titles of all the pages you will create and their subject. This will help you determine how large your site will be. It will also help you identify what pages are the most important. You may find you are able to eliminate or combine pages. A great way to do this is by creating an outline of your site in a word processor.
Organize your pages
Once you have all your pages outlined, group the pages into categories that make sense for how audience will use your site. These categories become the menu (or left nav) of your web site and the pages become sub menu items. This model is your site map or site architecture.
Collect all the Content
The most important part of any web site is content. Create your content before you start putting anything on the web. This work should include information gathering, writing text, acquiring images and media. "Under Construction" pages are not a best practice and should be avoided.
You do not have to create content in complicated web software. Start simple. Write it in a word processor or scribble it on yellow legal pads.
Now that you have pages, a site map, and content. IT Services can help you begin to build your web site. Please don't hesitate to contact University Advancement if you have questions or need help with any parts of the above process.
Now that you started a website, it is very important to consider how you will maintain your website

Over-the-Counter (OTC) drugs are non-prescription drugs sold to consumers at pharmacies, convenience and grocery stores. These drugs include pain relievers, cough and cold remedies, sleeping aids, antifungals, and other products approved for use as a self-medication product. There has been a particular focus in the pharmaceutical industry on OTC drugs, and in several market research reports over the past decade, Kalorama Information has covered the strategies pharmaceutical companies are using in the OTC market. This report, The Worldwide Over the Counter (OTC) Drug Market has market sizes and forecasts in five general segments:
Issues and trends explored in this study include:
The report includes incidence of conditions which are often treated with OTC medicines, health statistics related to the industry, birth rates, world population, populations by region and issues affecting the market as a whole. Information is presented as a worldwide overview, with special emphasis on the U.S., Japan, Germany, and other key markets. The market segments provide an overview of demographics, information about products available in each region, market estimates and forecasts. Additionally, a competitive analysis of leading providers and profiles of providers is covered. In-depth profiles are included for the following companies:
All market data pertains to the world market at the manufacturers' level. Sales pharmaceutical companies have earned selling OTC products. The base year for data was 2009. Historical data was provided for the years 2007 and 2008, with forecast data provided for 2010 through 2014. Compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) are provided for the 2007-2009 and 2009-2014 periods for each region and/or segment covered. Competitive analysis is provided for the year 2009. The forecasted market analysis for 2009-2014 was largely based on demographic trends, new developments, and global expansion.
New York, August 3, 2010—A robust over-the-counter (OTC) drug market exists in less developed regions, where OTC is often the most practical distribution method, according to medical market research publisher Kalorama Information. According to The Worldwide Over-the-Counter (OTC) Drug Market, a recent Kalorama report, non-prescription pharmaceutical sales account for between 8% and 30% of total pharmaceutical markets around the globe, with higher ratios of OTC sales in developing nations. Kalorama estimates the OTC drug market in Asia-Pacific and Africa is worth $21 billion with an average growth of 4% annually.
In 2009, the OTC drug market in the developing BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) claimed a higher percentage of total pharmaceutical sales compared to more developed nations such as the United States, which had an OTC market share of 8%. India paced the quartet of burgeoning world powers with an OTC market share of 33%. China (23%), Russia (19%), and Brazil (17%) followed suit with double-digit OTC share claims.
Developed nations Japan and Australia are also important international players in the OTC market, though the greatest opportunities for growth and expansion remain in China, India, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia, among other developing nations.
"It's simply easier to work around regulatory and distribution issues in these countries by distributing product direct to consumers where it is medically possible," said Melissa Elder, analyst for Kalorama Information. "It's not a new trend, but we see sales to developing nations continuing to drive up the portion of all Pharma sales that are OTC."
Additionally, in nations such as China the general population has an increasing ability to purchase products due to staggering increases in per capita Gross National Income between 2000 and 2005. Combined with the large population of China, there is now a more significant market opportunity for companies to sell products, especially OTC products. In comparison, the U.S. experienced a mere fraction of China's per capita GNI growth during the same period, while Latvia was the only country with a greater GNI increase than China.
The state of the economy, lifestyles, cultures, and the condition of medical care all contribute to the percentage of people that seek to self-medicate. People are highly influenced by the cost of healthcare and will purchase OTC products in order to save money. Because a large number of consumers in India are uninsured, the majority of the population is forced to be conscious of health spending. As an example the report says that nearly 80% of India's population actively self-medicates according to the report. In Kenya nearly 60% of the population actively self-medicates for similar reasons.
The Worldwide Over-the-Counter (OTC) Drug Market investigates the strategies pharmaceutical companies are using in the international OTC market. The report includes market sizes and forecasts in five general segments.

How does Garcinia Cambogia Work?
Garcinia Cambogia has helped people shed pound after pound because of one special compound. That compound is called Hydroxycitric Acid. A bit of a mouthful I know, so let's just stick to calling it HCA! Garcinia Cambogia contains the highest known concentration of HCA on the planet. This is the reason it caught the eye of scientists and health experts.
HCA works in two unique ways that accelerate your weight loss to astronomical levels.
- Firstly it suppresses your appetite in a big way. Whilst you are taking Garcinia Cambogia you will feel significantly less hungry. This will cause your body to start burning excess fat stores.
- Secondly Garcinia Cambogia works to seriously hinder the process of turning carbohydrates into fat cells. It does this by inhibiting an enzyme known as citrate lyase which is responsible for fat storage.

Are There Any Side Effects?
Side effects typically occur when people put unnatural things into their bodies. If you were to use a product that was filled with additives you would more than likely experience some side effects. Additives or binders are frequently the culprit of these nasty side effects. But if you stick to a natural product such as Pure Garcinia Cambogia it is highly unlikely you will experience any side effects at all.

For a few years after the purchase of Alaska, Sitka continued to be the center for the collection of furs in Alaska. In contrast to the Russian system, more than one fur trading company operated in Alaska under the Americans. Sitka was not close to the richest fur trading areas and increasingly was bypassed by the fur traders and trading companies. Trade in furs, however, continued to be a major local economic activity at Sitka. During their heyday in the 1910s and 1920s, a few fur farms operated in Sitka and on several of the islands nearby. [90]
Among those who came to Sitka following the purchase were a number of prospectors. In 1870 gold was found at nearby Silver Bay near the town. For many years miners worked a mine in the upper Indian River valley. Ten years after the first discovery, Joe Juneau and Richard Harris were grubstaked by Sitka resident and miner George Pilz. They discovered placer gold in creeks near today's Juneau. Following that discovery, many residents of Sitka left for the booming mining towns of Juneau and Douglas. Gold mining continued in the Sitka area, however, until World War II. More than three-quarters of a million ounces of gold was recovered from Sitka area mines. Gypsum, discovered in 1902, was commercially mined in the Sitka mining district until 1923. [91]
To reach some of the mining sites, a bridge was built over the lower portion of Indian River in 1888. Funds to build the bridge were raised by subscription. I.B. Hammond built the bridge at a cost of $142.50. The last mention of the structure was a call for additional funds so that the structure could be painted. [92]
American missionaries also headed for Sitka during the 1870s. The Reverend John G. Brady and Fannie E. Kellogg, of the Board of Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church, opened a school for Native children in 1878. Later, the school became Sitka Industrial Training School, and subsequently it was named to honor the long-time Presbyterian missionary Sheldon Jackson. [93] The Russian Orthodox Church continued its mission at Sitka after the 1867 transfer. In 1897 Monk Anatolii Kamenskii, working at Sitka, re quested funding from the church for a school building. The Russian Bishop's House, then used as an orphanage, was too crowded and in need of repair. [94]
In a few short years, Juneau surpassed Sitka in population and economic activity. When larger mining operations started at Juneau and nearby Douglas and those boom towns became more stable communities, people began to clamor to have the capital of the district moved from Sitka to Juneau. In 1901 the decision was made to move the capital. The actual move, however, was not completed until 1906.
The loss of the government payroll impacted Sitka and between 1900 and 1910 Sitka's population declined 25 percent. As the fishing and fish processing industries grew between 1910 and 1920, the population grew by 13 percent. In 1878 the Cutter Packing Company opened one of the first two salmon canneries in Alaska at Starrigavan Bay near Sitka. Although it closed shortly after the 1879 season, several other canneries opened in the vicinity during the 1880s. A few salteries operated for several years as well. A market developed for halibut, and a cold storage plant opened at Sitka in the early 1900s. For a brief time during the 1910s a shore-based whaling station operated at nearby Sitkalidak Island. A herring fishery flourished during the 1920s and 1930s. Over the years a number of fishermen and cannery workers made Sitka their home. [95]
Sitka's other major economic activity was tourism. In 1879, John Muir made the first of five trips to Alaska. Upon his return to California, he wrote several articles about southeast Alaska. Others ventured north. Some, such as Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore, wrote accounts of their trips that were subsequently published. Beginning in the 1880s, increasing numbers of people began to visit Alaska to see its scenic wonders, Native people, and evidences of its Russian heritage. All of the steamships stopped at Sitka. [96] Many Russian buildings still stood in the town. The Russian Orthodox Cathedral with its beautiful icons was a major attraction. In the 1890s the town residents restored Baranov's Castle, but the wooden structure burned in 1894. In addition to viewing the buildings, visitors could purchase Native artifacts such as baskets and wood carvings, and follow the boardwalk from the wharf through town to the 1804 battle site and Indian River. [97]
The thousands of people who headed to the Klondike gold fields in 1897 and 1898 bypassed Sitka. The community was not along the Inside Passage route that took stampeders from San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle to Dyea and Skagway. The increased attention paid to Alaska as a result of the gold discoveries in the north impacted Sitka in other ways. An agricultural station opened in 1898, and the station's chief made Sitka his head quarters. A magnetic observatory opened the same year. After Tongass National Forest was created in 1902, the U.S. Forest Service had a ranger at Sitka. When the submarine cable was completed in 1906, Sitka was connected to the rest of the world by telegraph. [98] But for the most part, after the capital moved, Sitka was a small, relatively isolated community during the early 1900s. Fishing, fish processing, and tourism were the mainstays of the local economy. Several residents wrote that the major event in town was the weekly arrival of the mail boat. Beginning in the 1920s, a few float planes brought visitors and a little freight to town. The population was around 1,200 people.
In 1913 Sitka was selected by the first Territorial Legislature as the location for the first Pioneers' Home for indigent prospectors who had spent many years in Alaska. In 1934 a large, second building was added. Southeast Alaska Natives organized the Alaska Native Brotherhood at Sitka in 1912. The group formed to fight for citizenship rights and equal treatment. Camps soon organized in other Southeast Alaskan communities, and a companion group, the Alaska Native Sisterhood, also formed. By 1920 Sitka had become a small, stable community that changed little until World War II. About 1904 the Sitka Wharf and Power Company tapped Indian River for a water-distribution system that served the center of town. A water-wagon, filled at Indian River, served outlying areas. As late as 1940 the U.S. Marshal had the people in jail run the water wagon to Indian River. After the five- gallon cans were filled they were delivered to residents for $5.00 a week. Around 1942 and 1943 additional water lines were constructed to serve more parts of the town. [99]
Just before World War II started, the U.S. Government began a military build-up that included establishing bases in Alaska. The old naval reservation on Japonski Island was selected for a U.S. Navy seaplane base. From there, PBY airplanes could patrol the North Pacific. An army base opened at Sitka to guard the naval station. In addition, a radio "beam" station was constructed on Biorka Island, and gun emplacements were installed on Harbor Peak and on several islands in Sitka Sound. The military personnel and construction crews brought new life to Sitka.
After the war ended, the bases closed. The government transferred their buildings to the U.S. Department of the Interiors' Alaska Native Service for use as a medical and education facility. The hospital was one of the main centers for treatment of tuberculosis during the late 1940s and early 1950s. It was transferred to the U.S. Public Health Service in 1955. In 1948, the Bureau of Indian Affairs opened a secondary-level boarding school, Mt. Edgecumbe High School, at the site. It served Native children from throughout Alaska. In 1985 the State of Alaska took over operation of the school. Sheldon Jackson Industrial Training School evolved into a college offering two and four year programs. After statehood in 1959, the State of Alaska opened a Public Safety Academy at Sitka, and a few years later the University of Alaska started a community college there. Sitka became a regional education center.
Several sawmills operated at Sitka throughout the 1900s. Lumber from Sitka had been important in building the gold rush boom towns of Dyea and Skagway. Some lumbering occurred over the years. After World War II, there was increased interest in leasing areas on Baranof Island for logging. A Japanese-owned pulp mill at the mouth of Silver Bay began operating in 1959. Sitka's population increased by 63 percent as approximately 500 people found work at the mill. In 1977, the Coast Guard established an air station on Japonski Island, in part to enforce the new 200-mile offshore fishing limit. [100]
The tourism industry flourished in the post-World War II era as more people learned about Alaska. Until the mid-1950s steamship companies offered passenger service and organized tours, particularly through southeast Alaska. As it had been before the war, Sitka was a favorite tourist stop. The national monument, availability of Native arts and crafts, and remaining structures from the Russian period, most particularly St. Michael's Cathedral, attracted people. In January 1966, the wooden cathedral burned. Fortunately, measured drawings of the structure had been prepared by the U.S. Forest Service and completed by the National Park Service in 1962. Sitka residents spearheaded an effort to reconstruct the cathedral on its original site, which by the 1960s was in the center of downtown Sitka. For the Alaska Purchase Centennial in 1967, the State of Alaska improved a commemorative park atop Castle Hill with can non, interpretive markers, and flagstaffs. That same year, the city opened its community Centennial Building and the Sitka Historical Society started a museum there. The Visitor Center at Sitka National Monument, built in 1965, further enhanced tourism. The federal Board of Indian Arts and Crafts had started a program at Sitka in 1962 and its Native artists moved to the new center. About the same time the Sitka Summer Music Festival began. During the 1960s transportation improvements brought more visitors to Sitka. The State of Alaska began its Marine Highway system in 1963. In 1967, jet air service to Sitka from Anchorage and Seattle started. In 1972 the national monument was redesignated a national historical park and its mission expanded to interpret the Russian experience in Alaska. The Russian Bishop's House was added to the park. There had been 150 buildings in Sitka in 1867. When the house was added to the park, it was one of only four buildings surviving from 1867.
The 1980 census gave the population of Sitka as 7,803. Ten percent of the people are Alaska Natives. [101]

Your best bruschetta?
- Tom P May 25, 2011 11:00 AM
Looking for some recipes... traditional with tomatoes or something different. Any ideas are welcomed!
I don't measure when I make mine anymore, but the secret is that I make it the night before and let it sit overnight for the flavors to develop. Makes a super yummy bruschetta.
Other tips: I'm a huge garlic fan, so I add lot of fresh chopped garlic to my version.
I love traditional bruschetta, but made with oven roasted tomatoes rather than raw. The oven roasting intensifies their flavor and sweetness. I usually use cherry tomatoes, but plum are fine too - just toss with olive oil (halve if using plums), add chopped garlic, roast at 400 until caramelized and the juices are reduced, then chop if necessary and mix with more oil, some raw garlic if you like, fresh basil, salt and pepper. Also, topping the tomato mixture with a dollop of homemade ricotta cheese increases the deliciousness factor by about 100x. I also like to do pesto with ricotta and just a little tomato as an accent.
I learned how to make this in cooking classes I did in Italy in the mid-80's. I've never had any I liked more. All ingredients should be the best quality you can find/afford.
Sturdy Italian bread (I've had success with thick-sliced baguettes as well)
2 or 3 large garlic cloves, sliced in half horizontally
perfectly ripe, homegrown tomatoes in season, de-seeded and diced
fresh basil leaves, chopped
good quality olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper
Have all ingredients ready before beginning. Toast the bread. When it is ready, immediately rub each side of the bread a few times with the cut side of a garlic clove. Spoon a tablespoon or two of tomatoes on each slice of bread. Sprinkle with basil. Drizzle with oil. Add a bit of salt and a grinding of pepper. Serve immediately.

That is my favorite approach, too. Rubbing the garlic cloves (rather than physically including them) gives a terrific garlic flavor, very fresh but not overpowering.
I second the suggestions downthread for bean and caponata approaches. A mixture of goat cheese and/or feta, chopped olives and herbs with olive oil is also great.
My favorite traditional one:
Saute garlic in a good amount of olive oil until just starting to brown. Dip one side of an untoasted slice of good Italian bread or baguette. Top with a mixture of chopped tomatoes (I also use cherry or even grape), seasoned w/ salt and pepper, chopped fresh basil and a glug of red wine vinegar. Sprinkle good parmiggiano or pecorino romano and pop in a 350 oven until the bread starts to brown. I also definitely agree with the ricotta rec.

Oh yes, I love cannellini beans like that as well. I had a bruschetta topped with chickpeas mixed with black olive tapenade at Babbo recently that was quite delicious as well. Come to think of it, just tapenade on bruschetta is darn good!
re: biondanonima
And another one is a thin coating of soft goat cheese topped with tapenade. I like to cover the whole thing with goat cheese and just half with tapenade on top for sort of a "tuxedo" effect.
re: GretchenS
Tapenade is delightful and addicting!
This time of year, before tomatoes are really great, I cut them up and roast them with sliced shallots in a good deal of salt and pepper. I stir in some chiffonaded basil then pile that on my toasted slices of bread. Crumble some goat cheese on top and throw back in the oven for a minute to soften the cheese. It's a good solution for when your tomatoes aren't fully ready for raw eating.
My best bruschetta requires sun-ripened tomatoes and is preferably consumed on the porch of the house we rent on LI. Here's how we do it:
Take some vine-ripened tomatoes that are bright red, but still firm. Cut them in half around the middle, and gently squeeze out the seeds. Chop in relatively small pieces and put in a bowl. Add finely sliced and then chopped red onion, as well as finely torn basil leaves. Dress with olive oil, then salt and then a whisper of red wine vinegar. Cut slices of the best country bread you can get. If there is a place you know that sells Poilaine, get that. Slice the bread and toast on both sides -- preferably on the grill, but the broiler will do. Rub one side of the bread with a garlic clove. Heap with the tomato mixture, pour yourself a fresh-fruit daiquiri, read your book, put your feet up, and eat the bruschetta. You've just created summer.
