Tarawera & Lakes Duck Tour in Rotorua New Zealand
Discover Rotorua and its Lakes Region
The scenery, the history and - of course, the duck - make this Tarawera & Lakes Duck Tour in Rotorua New Zealand a "must do" activity.
Your journey of discovery of Rotorua and its lakes region begins in central Rotorua. You will board a WWII amphibious vehicle known as a "duck" and meet your legendary conDUCKtor who is in charge of your guided tour.
The first lake you will visit is Lake Okareka, known for amazing million dollar homes and its abundance of bird life. You will journey past the Sacred Lake Rotokakahe (the Green Lake) to view the magnificent volcanic domes of Mt. Tarawera.
Your second plunge will be into Lake Tarawera, where you will hear stories of the devastation that fateful day of the eruption in 1886. After cruising Tarawera amongst its ducks and swans, you will have the opportunity to disembark for 15 minutes to capture photos and stretch your legs.
On your return trip, you will view Te Wairoa (The Buried Village) before splashing down into Lake Tikitapu (the Blue Lake). You will pass Rotorua's burgeoning Te Whakarewarewa Forest before heading back to Rotorua.
This is a fun and enjoyable way to learn about Rotorua and New Zealand's most picturesque lakes region.

Mallorca, July 1994
(Andy Goldsworthy)
These trees are so old they feel like stone. The stones have given growth to the olive trees; they grow out of the earth because of the stone — within the wood is stone. Cracked and weathered, with holes and openings; some with almost open trunks revealing their guts. You can see the internal tree. The stone column balanced as a partner to the tree. The stone grows within the tree — the seed.

Our first B & B experience for a weekend in Lancaster. We stayed in the Madrigal Suite which was beautifully furnished. Enjoyed the luxurious jacuzzi tub in the evenings after spending time in the area. Breakfast was terrific both mornings. Tim's caramel french toast and pumpkin pancakes were morning delights. The location was close to everything and Tim was a most gracious host. We would highly recommend and hope to return in the future.

This B&B was an excellent choice for the price. Welcoming, clean and cozy. Close to all attractions. I'm definitely staying here again. Can't wait to go back.

We were in town for a Victorian event at the Strasburg Rail Road. We traveled as two couples, and had two rooms. Each of us loved the room we had. Spacious, pretty, and comfortable, it also had the wardrobe and dresser space we required for a busy weekend. We originally booked the Inn because the local hotels started raising their rates when our event was announced. That may have been coincidental, but we were still in a situation that required good lodgings at a reasonable price. We ended up in a superior place for a comparable, if not lower, price. We took advantage of the large porch to rehearse our show before presenting it the next day, and enjoyed time in the parlor decompressing when the day was over. Breakfast each day was charming, beautifully presented, and quite satisfying. My partners, and my wife, have already insisted we stay there again next year.

Probably the best feature of this stay was the pleasantness of the owner. Also, the breakfast was outstanding. Free wifi was nice, too. The owner is selling and that may be the reason for the outside of the property looking rather unkempt, particularly the entry way, and this is definitely a no frills B&B, when I compare it with others that I've stayed in. Probably the most disconcerting thing was how close it is to the highway. When you come out of the driveway you must be very careful. Hundreds of trucks go by at blazing speeds most of the day. Other than those negatives, we had a pleasant stay.

My wife and I stayed for two nights. We loved everything about the experience; the rural setting, the furnishings, the delicious breakfast and other nice touches such as the cookies in the evening. The owner was very helpful with suggestions of what to see in the area.

A lovely old Victorian style house in fair repair and opposite but not overlooked, an amazing American style Diner. The decorations and whole ambiance is very twee, in fact twee to the extreme. The owner was not there and a friend let us in and explained the set up to us. As we were the only guests we had in effect the house to ourselves. The rooms were comfortable and there were some nice touches to make us comfortable. Breakfast was bizarre to say the least, a sort of rectangular omelet with asparagus, two slices of melon, two slices of banana bread and two slices of kiwi fruit, all on one plate! Otherwise very pleasant.
Respuesta del propietario
I am sorry that our breakfast was not the norm for the guests. Usually it is the highlight of our guests stay, the baked cheddar cheese omelette with fresh asparagus is a favorite, and people quite often ask for the recipe, which I am happy to give!...but "bizzare" is not a word I've heard to describe our breakfasts. I've never ordered a breakfast in any restaurant where it did not come on one plate, so I'm scratching my head on that one. I'm not quite sure what "twee" means...I know after being in the business for 20 yeats, I am not young anymore, but even my teenage daughter questioned this one. I am sorry, we cannot be here all the time, as our guests usually know by reading our bio, we are professionakl musicians, and sometimes have rehearsals and concerts with various orchestras. We always try to please nd I'm glad they enjoyed the rest of their stay!

This is our 4th or 5th time staying at Candlelight Inn and will not be the last when we visit the Lancaster area. Breakfast is always excellent and unique. I would recommend the Candlelight Inn to anyone (in fact we have and brought friends with us).

We stayed two nights. We were in the Pastorale Suite. Everything was very nice in the room. Beautiful furnishings, comfortable bed. Breakfast was delicious and filling. We would recommend to others. Close to Bird in Hand, Lancaster, Strasburg, etc. We love the area and can't wait to go back again.

This deliciously over-the-top series is never going to pass for great literature, and Green clearly isn't aiming for that. But it is undeniably a fun, free-wheeling romp with things that go bump in the night. Two-dimensional characters aside, this is an enjoyable read with slapstick vignettes and cleverly devised situations. However, beneath the silliness is a serious examination of how corrupted dreams of fame can lead to unfortunate consequences.
On their latest mission, Ghost Finders JC, Melody and Happy Jack are tasked with investigating a haunted theater. When they arrive, they are forced to work with limited resources and no help from the Carnacki Institute, which has been infiltrated by minions of the Flesh Undying, a creature bent on destroying all of reality in order to return to its own dimension. Left high and dry because of this crisis, the trio at the Haybarn Theater determines that what they're facing is no ordinary haunting. Opposing spiritual forces are primed to clash as each is determined to put on a great show before the curtain falls. (ACE, Aug., 304 pp., $7.99)

The Good Wife's Bad Mother | The Daily Beast
Mary Beth Peil discusses her character, Jackie Florrick:
I think she's misunderstood. In order to play someone who is arguably the villain, you have to find reasons for why she does what she does. I totally understand and have good reasons to defend every choice she makes and everything that comes out of her mouth, partly because that's my job and partly because that's who Jackie is. She thinks she's doing everything for the right reasons. Now, if I was Mary Beth watching the show and not playing Jackie, I'd think she's up to no good.
In addition to playing Grams on Dawson's Creek, she was also "a soprano, performing with the Metropolitan Opera, the New York City Opera, and Boris Goldovsky's company." (Mary Beth Peil for the win!)

sitting, waiting, watching, stressing.
I know one of those is either a D or F thanks to me getting stressed out, not writing a paper, not going to class when the paper was due, finding out the teacher gave the final the day the paper was due, and AAAHH.
The rest are either As or Bs. I just need to know because if they ARE all As then my D or F won't be so bad and my GPA will survive.

Trailer from This space available on Vimeo.
DocNYC, a nine-day documentary festival of films, panel discussions, special guests, in its second year brought a cornucopia of visual pleasures and provocative ideas to the IFC Center and NYU's Kimmel Center.
When confronted with the global reach of outdoor advertising in the compelling documentary This Space Available: The Grassroots Movement Against Visual Pollution, I was stunned to hear advertisers and designers question the value of their actions and to learn that conservative businessmen in Houston and a conservative Mayor in Sao Paulo, Brazil had limited or banned billboards because they degraded their cities' quality of life. It was unsettling to see temporary gigantic ads affixed to construction sites in Venice, Italy, and astonishing to see a young generation of artists and activists acting to remove illegal advertising by painting over it or replacing it with non-commercial art. Amazingly, in India, billboards are called "hoardings" – somehow the word sounds appropriate – they are hoarding the public space.
This Space Available also shows historical footage of Lady Bird Johnson's efforts to control billboards on Interstate Highways and the outdoor advertising industry's efforts to sidestep regulation. As President Lyndon Johnson says about the billboard industry: "I have never seen such a god damn group of selfish, eager hogs." After seeing this documentary, I find it hard to think that excess made America great or that regulation is the devil.

Submission #1487
The thing people don't realize about Pepper is that she went to MIT too. Got her MBA from Sloane, actually, which is apparently really hard for a business school, but all the other MIT students think it's easy, so she wasn't really one to complain about her classes being hard. But yeah, there's a reason she knows how to run a company. And being Pepper, and good with people, she worked for the admissions office to help pay her way. And when someone got Tony to do a series of guest lectures the administration chose Pepper to be their liaison/TA/course administrator person. And the result of this is that Pepper spent a semester getting Tony to show up to his lectures on time and being not freaked out by his bots and failures to conform to normal sanity standards and at the end of it, Tony was like, "You're graduating, right? You should be my PA — the people Obie finds are stupid and/or run away screaming in, like, 48 hours." And Pepper points out that she has several perfectly good offers for real jobs, and student loans to pay back, and Tony is just like, "Those people are boring. Just pay yourself whatever twice whatever they're offering you. C'mon, Pep, it'll be fun!"
She's regretted it ever since. (Except not, obviously.)

Anyone using WMC to record HBO programs? I added Showtime and HBO recently, but everytime I record an HBO program and try to play back on my TV using the XBox as an extender, I get the same message (obviously I am using a cablecard as the tuner). That "this program can only be played on the machine it was recorded on".HBO is the only channel giving me this problem and surely it is a mistake as this is how WMC and an XBox have always been inteded to work together to view contact on a TV. HBO and MS work together as the XBox is a designated way to receive HBOGO. So why this problem between WMC and an XBox?
The CCI flag is set to copy-once for HBO/Cinemax on FiOS. If the XBox is decoding the CCI flag as a 2nd copy, it is refusing to play it back. That's why you can only watch it on the WMC PC.
On the Xbox 360, are you trying to watch your recordings in Windows Media Center or through the Xbox Dashboard?In Media Center mode everything is decoded on the PC and then streamed to the Xbox just for viewing.If using the Xbox Dashboard the PC is just hosting the recording file (.WTV) and the Xbox is doing all the decoding.Copy protected content requires that the PC that created the recording is the only device that can decode it. This requires viewing inside Media Center on the Xbox to watch protected recordings.Unless you don't like it you should ideally be using your Xbox in WMC mode to add all live TV channels, guide info, program searching, and DVR functionality all on your Xbox 360 powered by your PC.
To be honest I am not sure what is meant by XBox "dashboard"?I am signing into "XBox Live", going to "Video" and clicking on the WMC App which connects the XBox through to WMC and shows what I would see on the desktop.So I think this means that when I click on a WMC recorded program it is WMC which does the decoding and streams to the XBox? Is my understanding correct from the above?Off topic I find the XBox an incredible media machine and it's ability to link with my desktop, not jst to WMC amazes me. It found all my music and pictures w/o my even instructing it. Then all the other apps and stuff make it very versatile. It beats me why Microsoft does not PUSH the device even more. I like my Roku also but I find that streaming pictures from the same source show better thru the XBox. Such as Netfix...
Yes you're correct that's using WMC to play recorded TV just like you would on your desktop.What I meant by Xbox dashboard is that it's also possible to playback .WTV (recorded TV files) on the Xbox without going inside the WMC interface. You don't get all the functionality with WMC if you do that but the recording will at least play if it's not copy protected.After reading your other posts in the Microsoft forum about this issue it sounds like your issue is all coming from your CableCARD.
make sure your cablecard is paired. Make sure you can tune channel 131. If not, its probably needs to be re-paired.
Right now Verizon are sending me a new CableCard as it has developed an issue of not allowing me to even watch HBO and Showtime. Is this related? Unsure, but when I get the new card installed (Friday or Saturday) I will start all over.Zero,Thanks for the input. Yes the "dashboard" and apps contain lotsa gems. I just also downloaded the HBOGO app and this provides for streaming of an amazing library of HBO materials a, shows and films. I also watch ESPN3 on the XBox, I find the streaming BETTER than thru Roku.
Well my troubles get worse...Got the new CableCard and went through the self install and activation "succesfully".But..1) WMC found only 78 channels far worse than with the "bad" cable card. Certainly no Preiums,not even ESPN2 or Golf channel. Loads missing.Basically only getting some (not all) broadcast channels.All kinds of blue screen fault notifications in place of missing channels.My PC is not compatible or is not digital ready!!!!Or I am not subscribed!!!!Not allowed to Copy...Even 131 has disappeared after the activation was "succesful".Horrors:(Lovely how these random messages turn up.Same on HDTV via XBox extender.Back to music from Verizon.
Could it be the tuner that's actually causing your issues? Which tuner is it?2 CableCARDs in a row not working right if they're correctly and successfully activated (and your first CableCARD used to work fine) is starting to point to something else being the issue...
The tuner is a SiliconDevices HDHomeRun Prime.This device shows signal quality and such like are fine.I have just been on to Verizon tech support for an hour. They cannot find a way to remotely get either the old, or the new, cablecard to get me a full range of channels. I cannot even see channel 131 any more. I am getting some broadcast channels such as 502//4/7 etc. I can get ESPN (570), but not the other ESPN channels, not Speed, not Golf and certainly neither Showtime or HBO.They are going to send a physical tech guy to my house to run more checks on site. I just hope I get a good one. I suspect they will swap CCs in and out of my TIVO to use this as a tester for the CCs.I guess an issue with the CableCard reader is possible, but I feel this is not the issue as why am I getting about 40% of the channels?I have now an open trouble ticket with SD.I have updated their firmware to the latest Beta which apparently has resolved some people's prior issues re missing channels, but I get exactly the same channels.Somehow or other the tiers which I pay for are not beling allowed to be listed or viewed. This to me sounds like a Verizon issue.Talking with Verizon the definition of the words "succesfully activated" seems variable. Seems that even when they get the "success" from their systems the real work all is not always completed as it should.

I suspect they will swap CCs in and out of my TIVO to use this as a tester for the CCs.
The base problem seems to affect everything above a basic broadcast type level (approximate) appears logged as "access = not-subscribed".This includes loads of channels from ESPNs to CNBC, CNN, Speed, SyFy, Golf and above. Let alone real premiums like Showtime and HBO where the isuues first started.I would have thought this to be a Verizon issue relative to their systems of authentication re what I should be getting and am subscribed to, rather than the CableCard reader itself?Hopefully I will find out when the tech rings my door bell and does his work.
The tech has been and spent 1 1/2 hours here.It quickly became apparent that ALL the channels I was seeing where being found and shown by my HDHRPrime via it's ClearQAM tuner. And the actual CC was never being properly "'activated" not matter what the system was saying.Tech finally called a high level tech support and between the 2 of them they managed to get the card truly "activated". Thats the 3rd card, the card the tech had in his truck.Even he had no idea why the 3 cablecards were being so problematic.I ran thru loads of channels and found them working including Showtime... Of course (dummy me) after he left I realised I had not checked out HBO and of course I cannot see live TV on any HBO channnel. I checked out about 30 channels while he was here and misssed this. Sigh.I get a screen saying the "card needs to be activated" Sigh....HDHRPrime lists the HBO channels as "access enabled". Guess another call to tech support.Why me? LOL.
Give the FiOS TV activation # 1-888-897-7499 a try before you call the FSC.All that should be wrong with the card now is that it isn't paired to your tuner (assuming VZ fixed your first issue). HBO/Cinemax require pairing because they're copy protected. If they're the only channels that you can't watch then that's probably your only issue left. The quick call to the automated activation line will "reactivate" your CableCARD and you'll need to dial in your CableCARD ID, Host ID, and Data numbers from your tuner for them to pair.
Yup makes sense.Now I have dug another hole for myself. Just hasn't been my weekend;)WMC showed a fault when attempting to play thru the XBox. It basically failed to play and said there was a corrupted file.OK so I went to the Control Panel and got to a list of programs.A heading said I could uninstall and/or repair. I checked out this and repair means it saves your settings etc. and rewrites the program in it's entirety.Didn't sound too bad and I was supposed to click "uninstall" and get the "repair option".. No such luck. No "repair" option turned up and I have now DELETED WMC. Sigh.I use Windows 7 Home Prime edition which comes with WMC, I can't fnd where to go to redownload WMC?
Go to "Programs and Features" in Control Panel, then on the left side you'll see "Turn Windows features on or off" and expand Media Features and you can check off Windows Media Center and click OK.
OK more on FIOS and HBO.Almost everything my end is working, except I don't get HBO, nor can I see their info page "131". i.e Showtime is fine etc.1 1/2 hours on with Verizon Tech support. They deactivated the CC and reactivated it and had a huge problem they cannot read the Data ID numbers etc off the card via their system! So I had to supply it. First they lost be all the channels and after loads of work they got me back to square one i.e. everything is live, but I cannot see either channel "131" or HBO.Note using the HDHomeRun GUI I can see the data for each channel. Both "131" and HBO SHow what looks like fine numbers to me. Signal strength betwee 93-98% Quailty etc 100% even Network 2.300 Mbps is shown.Verizon told me that the issue could be that the conat eaither the splitter or thru the coaxial is somehow not allowing HBO to be sent to the cablecard...seems HBO signals are at a "higher waveband" than other channels? I pointed out the apparent,"to me", contradiction here because of the signallying strength etc the HDHY GUI is showing me live. They dismissed this....Verizon tech support asked me if I could move the CC and unit to the other room where I have Verizon service. This is a massive undertaking because I would have to move my Desktop, Monitor and CableCard reader and set it all up....... So they asked me to REPLACE the Verizon Provided Splitter and rerun a Coaxial to the splitter! Note SPlitter is in my basement so I have to thread thru wall and floor etc. Yikes.They say they could send a physical tech to my house but I would likely have to PAY for this visit. Even to replace Verizon provided equipment as they have only a 90 day warranty usually? When I asked if V would repay me if I went out and bought new splitter and coaxial and I still did not get HBO they of course said Nope!Yikes is all I can say. Am I missing something, or is Verizon off the wall here?Edit: In fairness to Verizon I should not that I am getting HBO and channel "131" in 2 other rooms using 1) a TIVO and 2) a cablebox provided by V. But would this not rule out a bad splitter?
What version of the silicondust hd firmware are you running?I had to deactivate, reactivate my cc last week as channels were coming up not subscribed. I went through online chat to do it, all back to normal.
Verizon's tier 1 tech support don't always know what needs to be done to get a CableCARD working properly.Did you try the TV activation line # that I posted above yet? I get better results from their automated activation system for a CableCARD than a real person at their tier 1 tech support...
I was using the latest firmware and I upgraded to the beta6. It hasn't made any difference, sadly.
Yes I tried the automatic activation and it wasn't good for me. I have no idea why my activations are being so problematic.
Hrmm latest should be 8/23 build, I have been on this a while and it is solid....I found the best way to get good activation was via chat. Both times they properly deactivated, and reactivated.Using phone support to do this was a nightmare and a waste of time as they didnt know what they were doing. Each time they tried, they sent new data id's to the card
Yes I was on the latest â Current release: 20120405. Then I read their forums and some people said the latest beta6 allowed them to recover all channels. Bt the channels stayed the ame for me.Right now my CC is activated and shows me all channels in the HDHR GUI. But HBO does not play it spuriosly says I need a subscription or I need activation. These screen shot comments are useless as in my experience they often change almost randomly.
So let me get this right, does the log in the silicondust unit state channel - subscribed when you tune to it? Or is it saying unsubscribed?If its saying unsubscribed the issue is more activation between cable card and vz. If its saying subscribed and your tv is showing the message "spuriosly" then most likely something from the box
It is saying "access = subscribed" for my HBO channels.....As well as on open trouble ticket with FIOS (we parted with my insisting it stay open and basically we "agreed to disagree".I have a trouble ticket open with Silicon Dust and am on their forum also.My first impressions are that they really know their technical stuff SO MUSH BETTER than FIOS. With FIOS tech phone support I thought I knew a s much as if not more than them at times. With SD they appear levels above me:)They too doubt the veracity of FIOS claims re the Splitter/coaxial and higher waveband statement.
You have any other pcs with WMC that can try to tune to HBO?
It is saying "access = subscribed" for my HBO channels.....
Unfortunately not, that would be a good idea.

Thanks a bunch for the car rental info. Any ideas on what not to miss in St. John???:confused:
June 25th, 2005, 10:01 PM
Saint John has alot of Historic buildings, there is the Old city Market, which is filled with fresh fruits and veg. and crafts and things, very good spot for lunch.
Reversing Falls is cool. if you can catch it at low tide it is very interesting. If you know the day you are going to be here, I can find out what the best time to see it would be.
also Martello Tower, which is a Fort built for the War of 1812, very nice spot, to get pictures of the uptown area with the cruise ship in front of it.
Harbour Passage is a new walking trail that has been built, that takes you along the inner harbour, and has look outs with the history of the harbour and Saint John.
There is also the New Brunswick Museum, there is a Whale Exhibit, and a very large exhibit on the History of New Brunswick.
There is a bus tour that leaves from Barbours General Store (19th century Store same side of street as cruise ship docks, across from AVIS) that is 2hrs long and is only $11 US i believe, and it gives you a better tour then most of the Cruise tours offered.
It runs twice daily, once in the morning and again in the afternoon.
9:45 AM & 12:45 AM Local Time (1hr ahead of ship time Eastern)
It is first come first serve, but is not advertised to the Cruise Ship passengers, you have to find it on your own, the bus holds probably 35 - 40 people. I have gone on it and its great
It visits Reversing Falls, Loylast Burial Grounds, City Market, Martello Tower, Fort Howe, Fort LaTour.
Saint John is very walkable. the only way you would need to rent a car is if you wanted to go outside the city.
St. Martins is a 45 min drive
St. Andrews is 1h15 i believe

Question about the bus tour that leaves from Barbours General Store
Can you get off to look around or is it just a viewing tour?
Where do you get tickets? is there a booth or go in the store?
I will be in St.Johns on Monday 8/29.
When is the best time to veiw low ad then high tides?
Thanks for your help
June 27th, 2005, 05:40 PM
There is a Display board advertising the Bus Tour outside the store, you wait there and pay the bus driver when you get onto the Bus. They only take cash. Canadian or American.
They do allow you out at Reversing Falls, City Market, and Martello Tower, as well as the Burial ground. Each place is about 10-15min off the bus.
The fare does include admission into Martello Tower which is around $4.00 i believe
The most exciting time to see Reversing Falls on Aug. 29 is at 2:55 PM local time that is the peak of low tide when the rapids are roughiest. So i would suggest taking the afternoon bus tour that day.
High tide when the Bay and River are flowing backwards is at 8:45 AM.
So you will see a major difference in the water where you are docking between the time you arrive and when you leave.
there is no fear of missing your boat if you take the afternoon bus, if it is getting close to the time when you need to get back to the boat, I think the driver will drop you off ride at the terminal.
June 27th, 2005, 10:18 PM
thanks so much. There is a group of us on the roll call for our cruise that sure appreciates this information.
September 9th, 2005, 09:31 PM
How far is the City Market from the terminal. Trying to find out if it is walkable or will we need to take a taxi?
September 10th, 2005, 03:45 PM
The City Market is about a 10 min. walk from the terminal
September 10th, 2005, 05:49 PM
SJNB - many thanks for all the valuable info you've provided! I printed it out because we also had questions about what to do in St John's. The bus tour sounds exactly what we were looking for. Our cruise arrives in port at 9 AM Oct 11 - is there a website where I could get the tide info?
September 10th, 2005, 10:22 PM
It's Saint John, New Brunswick...St. John's is in Newfoundland :)
On Oct. 11th, Low Tide is at 12:30 Local Time. This would be the best time to see Reversing Falls. The Rapids are most firece during low tide.
September 17th, 2005, 05:48 AM

This sounds like a great deal, but it ceases operation on Oct 6, and we will be in St. John on Oct 11. Too bad.
September 17th, 2005, 08:29 PM
I believe they sometimes still offer the tour on days when cruise ships are in port
you can Tel: (506) 658-4700 and verify if they will be offering the bus tour the day you will be in Saint John.
September 18th, 2005, 05:00 AM
We will be there on Tues Oct 4th. Can you tell me when would be the best time to take the tour? You really have given great info. Thank you.
September 18th, 2005, 06:36 PM
The peak time for viewing Reversing Fall the day you are in port is at 7:30am or 7pm. Will you be visiting on the Queen Mary II or Golden Princess that day?
if you were visiting on the Queen Mary II i would suggest taking the afternoon tour and you could see the Water reversing, and then maybe take a taxi and go back at 7pm and see the water when it is most active. (low tide) as it shows the boat does not leave untill 10pm
If you are on the Golden Princess you will not see the the most active time on either the morning or afternoon tour, you will get to see the water Reversing if you go on the afternoon tour. if you take the morning tour there will still be some rapids in the water, but not as many as when the tide is at it's lowest point.
September 23rd, 2005, 01:43 PM
We'll be in Saint-John on Oct. 8th. What would be a good time to view the Reversing Falls on that day?
Thanks SJNB
September 23rd, 2005, 04:11 PM
Can you walk to the falls from the pier? Will be visiting on 10/19/05. Can't wait!! Sonia
September 23rd, 2005, 07:36 PM
There is a very nice walkway called "Harbour Passage" that goes from the dock over to almost where reversing falls is. (Next phase will take it to the Falls) but there are side walks the rest of the way.
It would probably be a 30-40 min walk. There are look-outs and information boards with the history of the harbour along the trail. one the trail ends just stay on the sidewalk and you will end up at the Reversing Falls look out and information centre and resturant
This is a picture of harbour passage
September 23rd, 2005, 09:31 PM
SJNB Thank you for the information. I will be on the Golden Princess and we can take a taxi as there are 4 of us. I'm guessing from what you posted that we should go in the afternoon. I believe we have to be back on the ship by 4:30. What else is there to do in the port. Any great place to eat? I and my friend love seafood although my husband and girlfriend will not eat it. One week until we leave for NY and we can't wait!
September 25th, 2005, 09:40 PM
There is the New Brunswick Museum http://www.nbm-mnb.ca/ ,
Old City Market http://www.tourismsaintjohn.com/fil...n=13&screen=180
Saint John has alot of historic buildings and such. be sure to visit the Old Loylast Burial Grounds. It is very nice. as well take a walk along Prince Willian Street.
If you are looking for a good Sea Food resturant that also sells other types of food, you could try Billy's Sea Food it is a sit down resturant in the Old City Market. http://www.billysseafood.com/
Because of the Queen Mary 2 being in you will be docking at Long Warft Terminal.
you will be docking where you see the piece of land sticking out on the top left hand side of the picture. the blue trail will take you right into the uptown area of Saint John.
Here is another map of the rest of the uptown. this one continues where the other leaves off. Most Attractions are marked
If there is anything else you need let me know.

My ship was in Saint John on a Sunday. Please be aware that both Avis and Hertz were closed. Budget opened at 9 am. That was too late for us to rent a car since my ship arrived at 7 am. When I rent a car I usually travel further and two hours lost is precious time.

Mini is best known as one of the leading models in the world, having modelled for Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton and Gucci.
She has also worn lingerie for Victoria's Secret and appeared at their fashion show.
She's since moved in to films, and will appear in the 2011 Jason Statham movie The Mechanic.
She was very small as a baby, hence the nickname 'Mini'.
Ah Mini Anden. She's a stalwart of the fashion industry, having started modelling young at the age of 10 and still going strong today. She started to learn to ice skate even younger than that though, being trained from the age of 5 until she was 18. She could probably be a pro. Well, we assume she could be after 13 years of practice, but that's because we can skate about as well as a bull mastiff can write classical music.
But it was modelling that she decided to make her profession, and a pretty good call it was too, with Mini being snapped up by one of the largest model agencies when she was just 15. As every model seems to have to if they want to make it big, she moved to the States and now lives in L.A. Which is handy, because having conquered the modelling world she decided to make the move in to film and television. And not just acting (although that's her main thing), she even produced a film called Bufoon in 2003.
Since then though she's gone on to appear in a host of television shows including N.C.I.S, Ugly Betty, Entourage, CSI: Miami and Nip Tuck. That's all without mentioning films such as Ocean's Twelve, Tropic Thunder and The Proposal. And she even was the host of the Swedish section of Scandinavia's Next Top Model. Which is basically where all the models who get jobs ahead of America's Next Top Model come from.

2 men accused of stealing donation jar, causing several accidents
Updated On: Dec 27 2013 09:43:24 AM EST
Two southern Kentucky men are accused of stealing a donation jar.
Police say David Humphrey and Cody Mullis grabbed the donation jar for "shop with a cop" at a Whitley County gas station and then drove away and nearly caused several accidents.
The men were eventually pulled over, and the bin was returned.
The gas station manager knows the young men.
Unfortunately, workers there are familiar with crime at the business.
The gas station was robbed a month ago.

HELENA - U.S. Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) hit on several hot button political issues as he spoke to the Montana Legislature on Monday.
Tester spoke to both the House and Senate about campaign finance, the federal fiscal cliff and healthcare.
Tester says corporations are not people and the U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing corporations to dump unlimited amounts of cash into the election is a "kick in the teeth to democracy."
"It opened up the floodgates to more TV commercials than we have ever seen before," Tester said. "In this last Senate election, more Senate commercials were on TV in Montana than any other Senate race in the country, ever."
Tester also talked about the "fiscal cliff" package that Congress passed at the end of 2012 to prevent a slew of tax increases and budget cuts.
"It was better than nothing, but not much," Tester said.
As Congress grapples with the budget this year, Tester says he wants to look at simplifying the tax code and combing through the budget to find waste.
"When it comes to spending, every program needs to be on the table, every program," Tester said. "Tax earmarks cost us $1.1 trillion. We can do better than that."
He also criticized the 2011 Montana Legislature for failing to enact legislation which implements the Affordable Care Act.
"There was an opportunity last session to set up the health insurance exchange to help make insurance more affordable over the long haul. That opportunity was missed and now the federal government will do it for Montana," Tester said. "I would have preferred the former."
Tester said the Montana Legislature has an opportunity to help lower the cost of healthcare this session and he urged lawmakers to get it done by working together.
"No one person has all the answers. But all of you together do have the answers," Tester said. "And working together, you'll find them. It's not just a challenge. It's a responsibility."

The Miami Dolphins have announced that majority owner Stephen Ross will take questions before tonight's Monday night game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He is not expected to make a significant statement, but is going to take questions at 6pm. Considering the circumstances in Miami and the national spotlight this game puts them in beyond what they are already dealing with, this might be the best course of action for both Ross and the Dolphins.
Earlier in the day, Ross is reported to have reached out to offensive tackle Jonathan Martin and said he would work to make the Dolphins a good work environment. This entire situation has not only made the Dolphins organization look bad, but has left the futures of Martin, Richie Incognito, general manager Jeff Ireland and head coach Joe Philbin are unclear at this point, with all of them looking bleak at the moment. It remains to be seen how up front and honest will be when he is asked tough questions, but he at least will be out there, so it should be at least interesting. In the meantime, the Dolphins have a chance to go 5-4 and keep their playoff chances alive.

south beach wine & food fest
- g
- gingersnap Feb 20, 2008 06:06 PM
anyone going to any of the events? planning to go to saturdays grand tasting, have loved it the past 2 years.
re: sharoni345
I went a couple of years ago and was underwhelmed by the food at the grand tasting. Has anyone ever been to the high dollar special events?
I believe they are not worth it no matter who is cooking because they are in an unfamiliar kitchen using unfamilar ovens, possibly unfamilar ingredients, and other equipment. Am I way off base here?
Let's say, Batalli was cooking in a $1000 a plate event. Would it be as good or better than his own restaurants? I would highly doubt it, but want to hear from those who have actual experience of going to the special events.
My guess is you are paying big bucks to meet & greet celebrity chefs.
My wife and I have been to the last 3 SoBe W&F Fests....and we've enjoyed most all of the events.....But we were mightily disappointed in last year's Bubble Q....They ran out of the "All You Can Enjoy" Moet Champagne just 1 hour into the event....and we were stuck eating BBQ with Evian Water....Organizers did manage to pull out a case of champagne to toast honored guests and celebs later in the evening....while we stood with glasses empty...begging like dogs.....
We spent over $2000 for tix that weekend....And I requested..in writing...a refund for Bubble Q tix....And organizers wrote back to me...stating...."that never happened and champagne flowed for all three hours".....So I guess that makes me a liar.....
We've enjoyed this event thoroughly over the years.....But we've concluded that they don't need our business....our money....or continued patronage....A shame....
I'll be at the Saturday tasting this year. Last year was my 1st time and it was amazing! They have so many different foods & wines, it would take days to taste everything. I'm also a food network addict so it was great to see Giada, Paula Deen and the other food celebs. I'm so EXCITED for Saturday!
saw craigslist has tickets for sale. i think the grand tasting is worth the price- nobody expects the food to be the best they have ever had, its the fun and excitement of the whole thing. so many stalls of food and drink, love those bars set up in the middle of the tent, great to see all the food demos- just a great experience all around! can't wait...
Oh...forgot to mention that I've spent over $10,000 in tickets for this event over the past three years.....I've taken family, friends and clients over the years....and had a great time.....But that didn't matter much to the organizers very much.....And I guess when they said that the champagne never stopped flowing at last year's Bubble Q....when it stopped less than an hour into the event....and that my complaint was invalid....that was enough for me......
I do not get the grand tastings? It is a list of restaurants that are in the area, most of which I have found to be mediocre? I would rather take the 200 per person and go to 2 or 3 meals with my girlfriend. The one event I would love to go to is the Sat night event at the AAA. It has top chefs from around the country and top vineyards to match.
re: LargeLife
That's weird. I remember someone on another string saying that champagne had run out. Sure enough I found it (see halfway through the string).
I went to the event the first year and had a blast. After they almost doubled the prices the following year it turned us off. When Food Network began sponsoring it we decided to avoid Miami Beach entirely during that weekend. It'll be a Yakko-san and Heelsha kinda weekend. Hmm, sounds like a good post to start.
re: jessierandall
I just looked at the lineups for both days, and I would say that 90% listed were from the tri-county areas. Perhaps they changed the format this year?
re: mikek
Went to the burger bash tonight and probably 8 or 9 restos were Florida- based. It didn't take away from the fun. The event was wonderfully done. The burgers from Radius and The Hitching Post were phenomenal. (Neither are Florida-based.)
I was only horrified by one burger: the Everday with Rachael Ray contest winner. It was a dry pork burger with soso bread and a strip of bacon atop it. I hate wasting food but it hit the garbage after one bite. Had I a napkin handy, none of it would be in my digestive track.
All in all, it was a great experience. I got to talk to a number of the food network chefs and eat some killer burgers.

Just came back to try 4.0.1 and go slapped in the face by Blizzard.
I'm starting to get used to not having a lot of ragea t the start of pulls, but I'm a bit curious about the general rotations now. I was playing my prot warrior about 6-8 months ago and I'm not 100% on what my rotations used to be which is making it more difficult for me to figure out what to do with them now. Kind of curious for some macros I should be using as well because I have literally none, pro tankz ftw.
Looking to hear what more refined tanks have to say based on my tree / gear, or if you have any suggestions to modify my tree with I'm game as well.
My personal outlook on reforging is that my gear doesn't seem high enough to waste the points, thoughts on this as well if you have any?
Also open to binding suggestions? I'm so lost. ><"
Any help is beyond appreciated!

Greetings -My mother just recently got DSL from Cavtel; she'd been a voice customer for 2yr or so. I know that Cavtel advertizes "up to 8Mbit" downstream. I'd read some reviews from some people who have cavtel, and one person who was 8000' from the CO, said he enjoyed just about 8M downstream and 800K upstream.My speedtests consistantly indicate 640K downstream, and about 190 upstream. I used multiple test sites.If the modem is configured as a bridge, then it doesn't have a mgmt. IP; how can I look at the DSL modem to look at the s/n ratios, signal stregnth, and sync-speeds?The modem was manufactured in 11/2009, and it's the small grey model that has a little foot on the side that you can rotate, if you want to stand it on-end. Sorry - I"m at work right not, and I don't have access to the model number - hopefully someone will recognize the modem i'm talking about. I'll post the model number as soon as I get it.Also, the phone line seems clear to me - no static, no background noise - I wouldn't think that "the line's only capable of 640K.." Also, like the reviewer I read, my mother's also about 8000' from the CO. Any words of wisdom?
DSL modem is "Zhone" 6381-A4-200-0CL
If you have a laptop take and plug the modem into the NID outside and see what speeds you get, this will tell you if you have an inside wiring problem.--SurfingOC.com / GsdPhotography.com

It is even backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. There are some testimonials with before and after photos presented on the official website to support AM300. This is why we are going to take a closer look at the supplement, AM300. In fact, it is wise to scrutinize a dietary formula before taking it. There have been some over the years that led to serious side effects. Needless to say, this is not always the case. This capsule formula aims to heighten the users energy levels, burn away unwanted fat, increase the metabolism, and control hunger throughout the day. One of the most common pitches for weight loss products is to claim that they are safe and effective.

A dream is a wish your heart makesEntry #12 in the Disney Animated Canon, Cinderella, based on the Fairy Tale "Cinderella", and marked Disney's return to single-story feature-length films in 1950, after the WWII years where Disney was limited to making collections of shorts (e.g. Make Mine Music, Fun and Fancy Free) while many of their staff were drafted to the war effort. Advertisement posters touted Cinderella as the best since Snow White and for the time it definitely marked a return to form, though the painstaking (and extremely expensive) animation techniques of the earlier films were scaled back.Cinderella got not one, but two Direct-to-Video sequels: Cinderella II Dreams Come True (2002) and Cinderella III: A Twist in Time (2007). (If a trope page referring to one of those movies brought you here, please correct the link.)It is also one of the movies featured in Kingdom Hearts. Cinderella herself has a minor (but important) role as one of the seven Princesses of Heart driving the plot of the first game. Nothing from the series appears again until Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, where it gets an entire world called Castle of Dreams.
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true

From The Economist; full story HERE.
"IT IS now clear this will be a two-person race between the conservative leader Newt Gingrich and the Massachusetts moderate." So said the conservative leader Newt Gingrich to console himself after being trounced by Mitt Romney in the Florida primary in late January. But late January was an age ago in what America's discombobulated pundits are now calling the topsiest-turviest primary season they can remember. As the four remaining candidates brace for elections in Arizona and Michigan on February 28th, all eyes are now on the two-person race between Mr Romney, the plutocrat formerly known as the front-runner, and Rick Santorum, the social conservative and culture warrior who was never supposed to stand a chance.
Just how Mr Santorum got here is a bit of a puzzle. His campaign got off to a good start, with a narrow victory in Iowa's caucuses at the beginning of January, but he came fourth in New Hampshire and (after Jon Huntsman and Rick Perry dropped out) a poor third in South Carolina. The smell of political death hovered in the air at his thinly attended election-night party in the Citadel, a military college in Charleston. Nothing daunted, Mr Santorum soldiered on to Florida, only to finish well behind Messrs Romney and Gingrich again. And in Nevada at the beginning of this month Ron Paul pushed him down to fourth place.
What explains Mr Santorum's surge? Dumb luck, say some. Plenty of candidates before him—Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Mr Perry and Mr Gingrich—have hit the Republican sweet spot too, only to be rejected once their blemishes became plainer. Looked at in this light, Mr Santorum is merely taking his turn as the final non-Romney, pushed aloft less by his own positives than by the negatives of his competitors, notably Mr Gingrich's bloated ego and Mr Romney's lack of conviction. In due time, it is argued, the laws of political gravity will pull him back down.
This column has argued before that when the media look only at Mr Santorum's thoughts on family morality they end up with a caricature. He is in fact a more rounded candidate, with some impressive skills. These include not only the perseverance that kept him tramping through the slough of despond when others might have given up, but also a nimble and well-stocked mind, an approachable manner on the stump and—the big prize that eludes Mr Romney—a palpable sincerity. In Michigan and Ohio, he may also prove that he has another advantage over Mr Romney: an appeal to blue-collar workers that is hard for a member of the 1% to match. Mr Santorum takes care to give the coalmining travails of his immigrant grandfather a big place in his narrative.
The Republicans did not want their primary season to look like a coronation. That, to say the least, is no longer a danger. It is now clear only that a large share of the party's conservatives just do not like Mr Romney. This traps the party in a fratricidal exercise that could continue for months, if not all the way to the party convention in Tampa in August. Even if he loses next week in Michigan, Mr Santorum should pick up enough delegates to keep his hope alive. Mr Gingrich is unlikely to quit unless he loses in his home state of Georgia on Super Tuesday, and Mr Paul will fight on whatever happens. There is new talk of an "open" convention, where no candidate has a majority and the call goes out for a white knight, if one can be found. Mr Obama is a lucky man.
Jonathan Haidt, a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia, is a liberal Democrat who has spent much of the past decade exploring the competitive strengths of conservatism. In his new book, "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion," which will be published in March, Haidt makes several points. Conservatives, he argues, "are closer to traditional ideas of liberty" like "the right to be left alone, and they often resent liberal programs that use government to infringe on their liberties in order to protect the groups that liberals care most about."
"Everyone gets angry when people take more than they deserve. But conservatives care more," Haidt writes. And social conservatives favor a vision of society "in which the basic social unit is the family, rather than the individual, and in which order, hierarchy, and tradition are highly valued."
What's more, conservatives detect threats to moral capital that liberals cannot perceive. They do not oppose change of all kinds (such as the Internet), but they fight back ferociously when they believe that change will damage the institutions and traditions that provide our moral exoskeletons (such as the family). Preserving those institutions and traditions is their most sacred value.
Haidt is sharply critical of some aspects of liberalism. Liberals' determination to help victims often leads them "to push for changes that weaken groups, traditions, institutions, and moral capital." For example, "the urge to help the inner-city poor led to welfare programs in the 1960s that reduced the value of marriage, increased out-of-wedlock births, and weakened African American families," he suggests. "It's as though liberals are trying to help a subset of bees (which really does need help) even if doing so damages the hive."
What the Right Gets Right, a NYT piece by Thomas Edsall, where, with the competitors for the Republican presidential nomination engaged in an intriguing and unexpected debate, he explores the questions: What does the right get right?

Defend the Minimum Wage

Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee

Turn your signature into dozens more by sharing this petition and recruiting people you know to sign.
Democrats have always believed in every hard-working American's right to earn enough money to support themselves and their families. That's why, in 1938, the Democratic-controlled Congress passed and President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Fair Labor Standards Act-the United States' first federal minimum wage law.
