Offshore Electrics Inc. is owed and operated by Steven Vaccaro Our sole purpose to this website is to help inform and educate new Rc boaters to make the whole experience a better one!
After 14 years of racing and playing with Rc Cars, I gave Rc boating a go at it. In 1997 my brother Anthony and I bought a couple of Kyosho Kit boats that we were immediately bored with. We did some searching on the net for information and found it to be quite scattered. It didn't seem that I could find one good site with all the R/c boating info I needed to help make my r/c boat faster or better. After lots of frustration we found a forum that had knowledgeable people surfing it that help us with our problems. But that knowledge still needed to be put somewhere. One of the things we quickly learned was that Rc Electric Cars and Rc Electric Boats involve lots of the same parts but those parts act in much different ways. Mainly what we learned is that the punishment that the motors and batteries take in boats is much more harsh then in cars.
So after having to search from site to site trying to find good r/c boat links and quality articles, I decided to give it a go myself by making a site that would have helped me speed up the learning curve in Rc electric boating. I hope to have accomplished this by now. But won't stop adding and trying to put new articles together in the future.
After starting the information site there was still some problems. I found that lots of people don't have the time to put together a custom rc boat. So we are continually testing and carrying new rtr boats to help customers with limited time. Back in the 90's a fast electric rtr boat ran 15-20mph. The advent of inexpensive brushless motor systems has allowed for a new bread of rtr boats with brushless power systems, that will push the boats into the 30-45mph area! I'm continually working on making this hobby more accessible to a larger consumer market. One way we are doing this is we are now importing the overseas products that only a select few people had access to in the US market. To accomplish this Offshore Electrics Inc. became a dealer for Gundert Boat Racing equipment. We have also become a Graupner Dealer, so we are now able to import any of the items Graupner sells. In 2006 we took on the Aeromarine Rc fiberglass boat hulls. And in the future will carry even more.
We are also committed to expanding the Fast Electric Boating Hobby in the New England Area. Some people still believe that battery operated rc boats travel at 5 to 10mph. This is far from the truth. Fast Electric (FE) rc boats routinely run in the 35 to 50 mph range and faster. It may not sound too fast, but a 20 to 35 inch r/c boat traveling that fast with obstacles (other boats and large waves) will keep your heart pumping!

How To Dress Up A Pair Of Jeans
Want to learn about how to dress up a pair of jeans? A pair of jeans is arguably the most important and common piece of clothing in a wardrobe. Brittanica Encyclopedia reminds us that they come all the way from the mid-19th century. Since then they have been a staple item for years and have always been in style. Since denim jeans have been around for so long, finding new ways to dress them up and stand out can be a little difficult, but following these steps will help you reinvent your classic jeans.
- Contrast is key. Take a look at your jeans, are they a dark or light wash? Maybe even a medium wash? Whatever it be, a sure fire way to dress your plain jeans up is to contrast the wash. If you have a dark wash mix it up with color, like adding a yellow polo, or a blue cardigan, for example. Likewise if you're planning on wearing a lighter wash of jeans, pair it up with a black v-neck sweater, or a purple dress shirt. The contrast is eye-catching and pleasing. They not only help your shirt stand out, but your jeans as well.
- Make it shiny. When buying jeans, look for a pair that has embellishments, like studs or rhinestones. Keep it mind not to over do it though–you don't want to look like a rockstar. Stick to a pair with a bit of bling along the pockets or maybe even a pair with some frayed edges, or ones with a "splattered-paint" effect. Jeans with extra detailing help them stand out on their own, so you can have the option to wear something more plain or casual on the top.
- Remember if you're going to a more formal event, maybe a dance or a dinner, keep it simple. Start with a dark wash pair of jeans, and add to it with a crisp white t-shirt or dress shirt and a blazer. This acts like a blank canvas and allows you to add whatever else you want to the look–a tie, a chain or a vest, for example. The basic look will look classic and put together.
Wear shoes appropriate for the occasion. If you're attending a dinner, try sleek, black dress shoes, or if you're going out to a game, crisp white runners would only enhance the look of your jeans.

How to get info?
I will start by saying we would be at least 18-24 months from being able to do this, perhaps even 4-5 years, and I have to get my husband to fall in love with WDW on our May vacation, but we are somewhat interested in getting info about DVC. I have been reading some threads here, talking to a couple of friends that have it and read the brochure that has been sent to our house. I went to a timeshare meeting with my mom a couple years ago, does Disney offer one of those? Is there a fee to attend and could we attend one while on vacation in May? How high pressure is the sale? I would like to get the info, be upfront that we are not buying at that meeting but still interested, and we will call them when we are ready.
There's a Preview Center at the Saratoga Springs Resort at WDW. There are Guides (sales persons) that you can meet with to discuss the program in as much detail as you wish. They do not charge to meet with them. You can arrange a meeting at by stopping at any of the DVC Information desks at any resort, theme park or Downtown Disney. They will also drive you over to the Preview Center from your resort or theme park.
You can also visit the open house at boardwalk, they have a 2 bedroom that you can walk thru.
Beware, while the guides are informative and in some cases charming they are salesmen and they will press you on the resorts they are currently "selling", AKV and Aulani. Those will be the ones they will offer incentives on. You can buy the older resorts although they won't bring that up. Be aware that there is an active resale market especially for the older resorts (but you don't have to mention that :laughing:). The guide will just try to scare you with the restrictions that you will have if you buy resale and those restrictions are very minimal. By all means go to the presentation, take your time and do your homework. If nothing else you may get some fast passes and maybe even ice cream. |

Go Kentin! Doncha just love how kids think? They're so clear and deliberate. I think they have it right. I fed daddy's angelfish a peanut butter and jelly. Don't remember if they survived, but it's a miracle I did! |
Haha! Cutie! |
I remember when I was little, watching Mom feed our pet Goldfish George. So I picked up a salt shaker and fed him too! He did not survive, but we soon had George the Second. |

Why was literature so important?
I came from a dysfunctional middle-class family. Reading and writing were godsends. They comforted me in my aloneness. They confirmed my innermost feelings. I'm not sure I would have survived the maddening tensions of my household without the grace of literature.
Did your family support your being a writer?
No. My family prized materialism and was suspicious of art. My parents feared openness and emotional honesty. Serious writing tries to get at the underlying truths and so they felt threatened by my interest. And of course there was the issue of livelihood. They worried for my future. In this they were right. Most artists struggle financially. It's quite a trick to pursue one's art and still make a living.
How did you find your "voice"?
There are young writers who immediately find they have a voice. Others struggle to see it emerge. For some it is a complex process. The Montreal Jewish poet Irving Layton, who had mentored Leonard Cohen, came to teach in Toronto and I was fortunate to study with him and become his friend. He was brash, opinionated and controversial. Imagine Norman Mailer as a poet. Layton's voice was loud and satiric. My first two books reflect his influence. But with my third book, "Words for Elephant Man," I discovered my personal voice. It was a voice given to irony and understatement. Sometimes brushing up against a strong influence such as Layton helps you find your way.
Why do you think so many Jews are attracted to and thrive in the arts? Especially with the drive our grandparents and parents had for economic security?
We are a people taught to revere creativity and affirm life. Our God is above all else a supreme creator. There are sections of the Bible that deal with the law and there are parts that are strictly narrative, but much of the Bible is poetry — the greatest poetry ever written. To read the book of Genesis in the original Hebrew is a mind-blowing experience. With the Psalms and the Song of Solomon, the Jewish poets set a standard for lyric poetry that is difficult to surpass. Proverbs is tremendous epigrammatic poetry.
The Jewish Daily Forward welcomes reader comments in order to promote thoughtful discussion on issues of importance to the Jewish community. In the interest of maintaining a civil forum, The Jewish Daily Forwardrequires that all commenters be appropriately respectful toward our writers, other commenters and the subjects of the articles. Vigorous debate and reasoned critique are welcome; name-calling and personal invective are not.

Army Ranger, 1st Ranger Battalion, Arzew, Algeria, 1942 |
The The 1st Ranger Battalion went into the war as a unit for the first time on the early morning of November 8 1942, when it landed in French North Africa spearheading Operation Torch. The Rangers made a surprise night landing at the port city of Arzew, quickly overwhelming the main coastal defenses, and capturing its docks with a direct assault. These actions opened the way for the 1st Infantry Division to capture nearby Oran. They accomplished their mission with the cost of only one Ranger life. This Ranger wears a wool shirt and pants. Wool gave the fast moving Rangers a measure of warmth during the cold desert nights, thus eliminating the needs for blankets. White armbands on both arms were worn as a means of identification for both Allied forces and the Vichy French. |

Cold turkey heroin
Going cold turkey heroin?
Heroin is a highly addictive drug that is processed from morphine, a depressant that inhibits the central nervous system. In fact, heroin addictive the first time you use it because how heroin works in the body is basically neurological. And when you develop physical dependence on heroin the body will experience severe withdrawal symptoms when dosage is stopped abruptly. So is going cold turkey off heroin safe? Not really.
In fact, cold turkey heroin withdrawal can be difficult and is unnecessary. Cold turkey may cut down on overall detox from heroin time, but can be severe. Instead, there are various ways that you can stop taking heroin to minimize the severity of withdrawal. Here we, review what happens when you just stop taking heroin abruptly and explore its effects on the body. We also go over the withdrawal effects that you will experience and what you can do to reduce them. Plus, there's a section at the end for your questions.
Cold turkey off heroin
You do not have to go cold turkey off heroin. When you go cold turkey off heroin you can experience serious and severe withdrawal symptoms, including restlessness, vomiting, muscle and bone aches, and diarrhea, insomnia and cold flashes. Plus, cold turkey off heroin increases chances of relapse. Instead, doctors use tapering regimens or replacement therapies to lowers the dosage of opiates in your system over a period of time. This way, your body will not experience such severe withdrawal symptoms.
Stopping heroin cold turkey risks
Trying to quit heroin addiction abruptly can be fatal, especially if you are a long term, high dose user. In these users, the body simply cannot support the stress of withdrawal and shuts down. This is why it is best to seek professional help before going cold turkey heroin: to get medical clearance first. There are also serious risks involved that should not be ignored. Risks of stopping heroin cold turkey include:
- restlessness
- relapse
- severe aches
- severe depression
- vomiting and diarrhea (dehydration)
Cold turkey heroin withdrawal: How long?
Heroin withdrawal symptoms usually last a week after the last dose of opiates has been taken. If you do taper your dose of heroin, the symptoms can be a lot less severe, intense, and quicker to resolve.
Quitting heroin cold turkey
So what are the clinical traits that should be present before you quit heroin cold turkey? Those who are best suited for quitting heroin cold turkey should have the following characteristics:
- Abstinence from other drugs
- Good overall health
- No health conditions that could be triggered by withdrawal
- Strong determination
Get off heroin cold turkey
Doctors do not recommend going cold turkey on heroin. Stopping heroin abruptly can result in severe pain and health complications. Medical professionals recommend that instead of quitting cold turkey you get tapered off heroin over the course of a few weeks. Your doctor will monitor your progress to keep withdrawal symptoms minimal.
Can I quit heroin cold turkey?
If you have been addicted to heroin for an extended amount of time, quitting heroin cold turkey can result in serious health complications. If you have not been addicted to heroin for a long time then you could stop cold turkey, but it is still not recommended.

i have only been doing heroin for 6 weeks but other opiates for about 10 years. how bad will my heroin withdrawal be? how long? what can i do without seeing a dr or getting on methadone to ease withdrawal systems? what about marijuana?
any help would be appreciated.
quite lost at the moment
Hello Lisa. Tapering down doses with the help of a physician will help first. Call a doctor or pharmacist if you resist face-to-face meetings. Additionally, Klonipine (clonazepam) is a benzodiazepine sometimes prescribed during opiate withdrawal to ease symptoms. Buprenorphine can also help, but is often prescribed as long term therapy (like methadone). Why do you resist seeking medical help? If you can get over this barrier, there is much help and treatment you can benefit from.
I've been using heroin for about 3 months now and I want to stop please explain to to me the tapering process what is it?
Hello Trevor. I cannot find an exact protocol for dosing structure. But here is some follow up reading here:

G-Form iPad Case Still Out to Prove Itself, Protects Tablet from 100,000+ Foot Fall
G-Form, this is an intervention. You don't need to do this anymore. First the bowling ball, then the parachute, and now you launch yourself to the edge of space? We need to talk. You don't need to keep proving your worth. We like you for what you are.
That's an iPad – no doubt peeing itself while passed out and dying – wrapped in G-Form's Extreme Edge case, kidnapped and taken for a balloon ride up to a height of more than 100,000ft. Watch the video below to watch the gimmick unfold:
Of course, there's really no reason they needed to do drop it from such a great height, since the iPad hits terminal velocity at a much lower altitude, and the impact would have been the same.
Everyone order an Extreme Edge before G-Form launches the poor iPad to the Sun. Wait no hold your purchase. I'd actually like to see that.

This mount does in fact turn the "partner" of yours shadow-like! I was surprised when I first saw it.
But I think the *best* part about this mount, especially for a priest, is you can tell your friends to try the ride out for fun, ride them around a bit, but then dismount and kill them! ... While you levitate away safe and sound!

Cataclysm Class Changes: Rogue {WoW}
Apr 9th 2010 7:10AM Just something to think about Blizz...
How are Shadow Priests supposed to counter a smoke bombed team? Their only worthwhile AOE is a single target eye of the storm mechanic.
Here's how I would change it...
Smoke Bomb: Increases evasion to 100% (unhittable) against single target ranged attacks and spells. AOE spells will damage the individuals in the smoke bomb, as will moving into the smoke. Does not work against Mind Sear.
I find that their goal to "mess with targeting" is a bit weird and hard to implement. Why not just use an existing mechanic known as evasion?
Just saying, those 10 seconds while in the bomb as a 3s team or something completely shuts out a shadow priest with nothing to do but bubble and possibly pop out of Shadowform for Hymn and/or Hope.
Review: Final Fantasy XIII {Joystiq}
Mar 9th 2010 5:07AM Just bought it this midnight and played it 5 hours in. I do not really agree with the review IMO. The ramp-up time feels just like that of games like Final Fantasy X or VII, where you were given a little bit of freedom, but none like that of endgame. In fact, I feel they offer you enough customization after the 2nd hour in to really start planning how you want to plan your character set.
I think my favorite thing about this game, and why I (so far) hold it in such high regard is how it manages to *feel* like a Final Fantasy game, while giving us something new and fresh. There are your archetypal characters... but they are executed so well in a different manner that it does feel like a new game but worthy of the franchise name.
Just to give you an idea of whether you may like this game or not, I held FF3 (6), 7, and 10 in the highest regard. It plays very much like FFX more than any of them, and for me, that is a good thing. It also has archetypal roles for your characters in the beginning, but the system is flexible enough to give you some freedom in how you really want to create your character set.
Also, just an FYI, the character set is among the best I've seen since FFVII. I am finding myself very hard pressed about what characters I like the most, personally. So far... I'm finding it to be one of my favorite Final Fantasies, and depending how the rest shapes out, it may become my new favorite to replace FFX.
Breakfast Topic: Should Cataclysm bring back the world boss? {WoW}
Jan 15th 2010 2:39PM I would say yes, but for a different reason that the majority say...
Realm population is getting to be a problem. Maybe its always been like this, but a lot of servers are getting a reputation as being "most popular" or "best progression". With this in mind... why would I or anyone else, given the proper education when they reroll, go to a low population realm?
Someone mentioned phasing. Well I'm actually for having the boss go down and coming back on a 2-3 day respawn timer. No phasing needed. Maybe this will force some to actually leave places like Blackrock, Kel'thuzad, or Illidan in favor of better chances to claim big world bosses...
I wonder just how many players really do take the free transfers away from overpopulated realms compared to those who pay to go to overpopulated realms... There needs to be something in it for you to leave a place where it is easier to pug and has a bunch of duelers outside the city gates.
Prot Warrior nerf details {WoW}
Jan 9th 2010 2:58PM Why don't they just make the PvP and PvE trees and abilities already? Guild Wars handles the balance between PvE and PvP that way, in that certain abilities are tweaked for PvP usage as to not be unfair and balanced. Neither side has to suffer. You would essentially have 3 specs, your dual spec PvE, and your PvP spec used ONLY in arenas that is an entirely differant tree than the PvE tree balanced FOR pvP. Viola, all done, neither side suffers from the other, and while they have to balance the two trees, when a change is made needed for PvE it won't go nuts in PvP.

Are Bloodlust/Heroism drums incoming? {WoW}
Jan 6th 2010 3:20PM Exactly, my post just above yours asks that same question. When do we draw the line on Innervate, Rebirth, Misdirect, etc. We don't. Simple. It's what is left of our classes that remains unique aside from appearance. Mechanics-wise, we simply can't take away certain abilities.
Are Bloodlust/Heroism drums incoming? {WoW}
Jan 6th 2010 3:13PM I have a major problem with the new design philosophy in that when making nearly all buffs available to some lesser extent in scrolls and provided by other classes, class homogenization really begins to show.
Other games have had some success with refining the unique playstyle and buffs to every class concept. Final Fantasy XI, while balanced entirely too late in its life cycle, has made *almost* all classes worth bringing to a raid, and due to the nature of how class selection works in that game seems to be the best thing about it. In that game though, one toon can swap classes, so long as they leveled that class, in the "Inn" of sorts. So did the Bard not show up tonight? Well, thankfully you got a DPSer with few important buffs other than his damage he provides who also put forth more effort in the game to be flexible, and has his Bard maxed out. Now you're out a DPSer, but at least the flexibility was there to bring a skilled player and not make the class insignificant. Subjobs in that game also served as a possible way to make up for lost buffs/utility. Thieves were the only ones with aggro control, but people could sub Thief for nearly the same aggro control abilities it had.
Granted, FFXI had many other problems with their game. For one they didn't take the time out very often to balance the classes around their philosophy, but once they did it really shown and everyone felt like they had a specific duty in all content, a sense of importance rather than 3 roles. It also made hybrids a bit more viable, their utility made up for their lack in pureness.
Of course that game is long gone community-wise with WoW taking many of its subscribers, but much of that was probably more due to FFXIV being announced and just a lack of attention to a *few* classes, even after a long time.
In all though, I don't play a Shaman anymore, but I would venture to say that making craftables to make up for the absence of any class is silly, because then we get into the problem of "Well what about 'x' class? We still need them for certain fights". We don't see Misdirection being discussed as an ability to scroll, it's not NEEDED, but it might as well be for certain positioning strategies that your guild likes to use. Rogues have tricks, but that's not as useful positioning-wise. Think of all the abilities that make classes unique, now think about scrolling them too. Kinda makes playing a certain class lose its flavor IMO.

55 McIntyre to Burton
Minute CANBERRA, 11 February 1948
I do not know what you will think of Kirby's telegram UN106. [1] The following points strike me about it- (a) I had gathered that Kirby had seen all the heads in the State Department-Marshall, Lovett, Armour, etc. In point of fact he seems to have seen leading officials at the 'operating level'. Not that this is a bad thing-it will have given Kirby a better insight into what the State Department thinks than if he had seen the heads.
(b) Both sides seem to have missed the fundamental issues-or at least what I think we regard as the fundamental issues. The State Department's general line is I think unexceptionable, so far as it goes. I can well imagine that it is quite in accord with the State Department's usual policy on these matters that it should be determined that the Dutch should observe and adhere to the principles laid down in the so called Renville Agreement. Doubts raised by Kirby and Forsyth (para 3) do not to my mind affect the real substance of the matter.
(c) Kirby seems to have been convinced that the State Department is on the right course.
2. But the questions which we have been regarding as vital-those which concern the status and condition of the Republic throughout the interim period until it can take its place in the sovereign United States of Indonesia-appear to have been tacitly evaded.
These include the Republic's capacity to control its own trade, issue its own currency, and maintain its own de facto representatives abroad. These matters are presumably the difficulties which Kirby had intended to suggest to describe to the Council as standing in the way of 'an early and just settlement'. These we may suppose are more or less fundamental, particularly the first. If the Republicans hold out for control of their own trade before the United States of Indonesia comes into being, I think there may well be a further breakdown. Yet on this point I do not think we can assume any support for the Republic from America or indeed from any other member of the Security Council. I should think that Lacy's view (para 3 of Washington telegram 156 [2]) reflects the attitude from which the State Department is unlikely to budge without strong persuasion.
3. I had understood that Kirby was emphatic on the point of doing something to help the Republicans on the question of trade. Now, however, he seems to think that it would be alright to fall in with the United States plans for a peaceful and nonc-ontroversial discussion in the Security Council in return for certain hypothetical United States assurances which could admittedly be useful in the forthcoming talks at Batavia, but which on their face do not amount to very much and which bear no direct relation to the fundamental issues in dispute.
4. Kirby may be on the right track. Following the unconditional acceptance of the Committee's principles by both sides, the points in dispute have been so reduced in number that no useful purpose would be served in 'going to town' in the Security Council-and stirring up further strife if it can be avoided-however much we may resent the behaviour of the Dutch, it seems pretty clear that the Committee will have to stay on in Batavia and see the settlement through, and this should serve to keep the Dutch up to the mark.
5. But I do not like the idea of this so-called 'trade', especially if it is to result in the Security Council's being given a too rosy prospect of an easy settlement. If there are going to be difficulties, the Council ought to know about them at this stage. Or at the very least there should be a cast iron assurance of American support for the Republic on the economic and other questions before any decision to gloss over them in the Council discussions.
6. The foregoing views are of course based simply on the two telegrams 106 and 109. [3] You may have gathered from your telephone conversation with Kirby [4] that there are other considerations as well.

People are always asking how the performance of COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software will improve on a parallel system, especially now that large multi-core desktop computers are relatively inexpensive and it's easy to rent time on cloud services like the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud™. It turns out, though, that it's not always possible to get faster performance just by throwing more hardware at the problem. To understand why, let's take a conceptual look at computers and the algorithms COMSOL® software uses.

Coil heat exchangers are simple and easy to manufacture. Here, we consider an axially wound coil of copper carrying hot water that heats air inside of a circular duct. Since the geometry is almost invariant about the centerline, the model is solved in the 2D axisymmetric plane. Additional expressions are added to compute the temperature drop between turns of the coil, which greatly simplifies the modeling.

We all know that COMSOL Multiphysics can take partial derivatives. After all, it solves partial differential equations via the finite element method. Did you know that you can also solve integrals?

✓The Advantages Of Paulownia Trees
Paulownia trees are popular hardwood plants in the United States of Americas whose origin in Far East Asia specifically China. The trees reached USA in 1880s thanks to travelers who used to wrap their dinnerware and utensils using the materials made from this tree. On arrival to America, the material was then disposed of to farm and subsequently grew to wonderful plants. The tree is economically, ecologically and environmentally viable. It has several uses as described below.
The tree is the best option in protecting against soil erosion. This is because its roots are known to hold the soil so intact thus preventing any abrasion which might result from water or any other cause. This explains why the tree is found in steep areas where gulley erosion frequently occurs. Moreover, the plant is able to grow in areas which experience high concentration of salts in their soils. As they grow, they absorb the salts in the soil rendering them viable for agriculture to take place.
Areas where these plants were grown experienced flow of pure hair. The tree had large leaves which would sieve and absorb dust, smoke and other particles present in the atmosphere. Indeed, the plant has been listed as one of the best alternatives to grow in areas which experience high concentrations of air chemicals.
Paulownia provides the best timber. In fact it is a hardwood in nature. This characteristic renders the wood as the one of the most sought after tree as far as furniture making is concerned. For instance China grows approximately 2.5 million trees of this kind per year to supplement the higher demand for this precious hardwood plant. Moreover, the plant grows on its own once harvested. The stump regenerates to new plants once cut. This gives the plant an advantage over other types which need to be planted again from the nursery beds.
Paulownia trees were scientifically known to form a micro climate during dry spells. They did so by transpiration process where they absorbed water from underground wells and evaporate it to the surrounding area through their leaves. This meant that any plant grown near the tree could survive the dry spell. This is because air around it would be made humid by the evaporation process from the Paulownia tree.
Beekeeping has immensely developed due to the growth of this plant. Farmers have realized that bees love to harbor in areas which these woods are grown and fully utilized the chance. They have set up bee hives which on these trees and the results have been amazing. They have been able to harvest, process and sell honey thus earning their livelihood. This is all thanks to the Paulownia plant.
Paulownia is used to make log homes. The wood is preferred because of it does not rot easily. Also, it is cheaper and light as well. Additionally, the wood is used to make furniture. Tables, stools, doors, beds, chairs are some of the furniture you will find made from this wood. The wood has straight grains which make wonderful furniture. The furniture is very comfortable and that is one of the reasons several shoppers prefer to buy them.
Paulownia trees produce large leaves which are used as animal fodder. This food is nutritionally rich in proteins. It is one of the best foods for cattle, sheep and goats.

BIG DEALS Rickie Lee Jones she of the long blond hair and cool beret will be doing her first book, and it won't be a tell-all memoir or a Mother's Day fable. She's putting together a collection of short fiction and new poems to be published next spring. ''She's been a musical storyteller for two decades; now she's going to put it on paper,'' says Maureen O'Brien, the Hyperion editor who approached Jones after reading the lyrics and poems on her website. Another middle-aged pop legend may also be going literary: Billy Idol, 45, the subject of a recent VH1 Behind the Music documentary, has decided to write a book. ''It's basically going to be his life story,'' says Idol's agent Noah Lukeman, who has been circulating the VH1 tape to publishers as the proposal.
Eighty-four-year-old Kirk Douglas, who began a second career as a writer with his best-selling 1988 autobiography The Ragman's Son, is now at work on his third memoir (after Climbing the Mountain). In My Stroke of Luck Douglas plans to discuss ''his feelings as he grows older, about other Hollywood greats, like Burt Lancaster and Gary Cooper, and about the effects of the stroke,'' says Michael Morrison, publisher of Morrow/Avon, which, according to sources, paid $250,000 for the book.
ON THE WRITE TRACK With television ratings skyrocketing for the Daytona 500, two books are coming our way on stock car racing: Dale Earnhardt Jr. will combine a diary of his rookie year and a memoir of his father, who was killed in the Daytona 500 in February. ''Dale had the greatest rookie season in NASCAR history, but [the book] will also be a tribute to his father,'' says Rob McMahon, the Warner senior editor who acquired the title for a reported $1 million advance. Meanwhile, newcomers to the sport can learn all about it from Joe Menzer's The Wildest Ride: A History of NASCAR (or How a Bunch of Good Ol' Boys Built a Billion-Dollar Industry out of Wrecking Cars), which Simon & Schuster will publish this summer.

30 Things We Learned from the 'Jurassic Park 3' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Kevin Carr on January 17, 2013 | Be the First To CommentEven though there's pretty much no information about the upcoming Jurassic Park 4 film that was announced earlier this week, you'll find plenty of speculation and discussion about it on the interwebs. So why not jump on that bandwagon and dissect the famous dinosaur movies? Yeah, we'd all like to go back to the original Jurassic Park for this Commentary Commentary, but sadly, Spielberg hasn't sat down to record his thoughts on that or the sequel. That means we're left with Jurassic Park 3. The plus side is that we get Stan Winston's take on the whole thing as he is joined by other members of the film's special effects team. And on to the commentary…
The Inexplicable 2nd Annual Junkfood Cinema Awards
2011 Year In Review By Brian Salisbury on December 30, 2011 | Comments (9)When we at Junkfood Cinema heard that we had somehow again avoided outright cancellation, clearly an oversight on the part of hectically busy and woefully unobservant management, we decided to celebrate with another installment of the Junkfood Cinema Awards, affectionately known (read "irresponsibly abbreviated") as The Junkies. Since this was our sophomore effort, we really wanted to flaunt our year-long incompetence with plenty of pomp and circumstance. We therefore hired a big time Hollywood director, one who had similarly proven his commitment to terrible films, to produce a garish, way-too-expensive, online awards ceremony. But then we had to fire him over some incredibly unsavory comments he made; something about rehearsals being for fatties. So instead, we're just going to do the exact same crap we did last year. Enjoy.
Life Finds a Way: Jurassic Park Trilogy Blu-ray Details Revealed
Movie News By Neil Miller on June 27, 2011 | Comments (3)Long-desired and well-rumored, the release of the Jurassic Park trilogy on Blu-ray has been high on the list of cinephiles since the war between HD-DVD and Blu-ray ended some years ago. Of all the great spectacles of the modern effects era, none have been quite as grand as when Steven Spielberg brought dinosaurs back to life. It could be one of the most anticipated Blu-ray sets we'll ever see. It's that fact that makes today's announcement even more exciting: Universal Studios Home Entertainment has released the list of special features that will be included in the October 25, 2011 release. And at first glance, it looks like it's going to be a larger-than-life experience. See for yourself after the jump.
Bienvenu, mes amis, to Junk Food Cinema, which has a certain, as the French say, "ordure." Our beloved Brian will be back next week, when he returns from his vacation ghostbusting. Until then, you can pin the blame for your eyeball blisters on me, Mrs. Junkfood-Cinema. I'll be piloting this trash barge over the choppy waters of murky, questionable cinema, picking our precarious way through the flotsam and jetsam of a capsized wreck of a film. But just when you start to panic and look for the life vests (there are only 2. BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!), we arrive at the golden shores of redemption. I throw out beach towels so we can all bask in the warm glow of this film's not-so-crappy side. And like any good day at the beach, I brought snacks. Unhealthy snacks. This week…well, this week, allow me to set the stage: Ahh, it's a good day to be white off the coast of Isla Sorna. But what is this? CG fog? Bad green screen? What's happening?! This isn't the Jurassic Park Crichton envisioned, painstakingly researched, and that had audiences everywhere scared to ride in Jeeps for months afterword. This isn't even the Jurassic Park 2 Crichton begrudgingly churned out and to whose script he turned a tactful blind eye. This is the notorious, superfluous, suck-o-saurus: Jurassic Park 3. JFC JP3. The point is, you're alive when JFC starts to eat you. So, you know…try to show a little respect.

Making Smart "Junk Food" Choices
Part of the Boosting Your Metabolism For Dummies Cheat Sheet
It's not always realistic to only eat real — whole — foods. Convenience foods are simply more, um, convenient sometimes because they're processed in ways that make them more accessible and easy to eat and prepare for anyone with a hectic schedule. You may enjoy these foods. Just remember that everything can fit into the boosting metabolism diet — in moderation.
Although healthy food choices are expanding everywhere you go, from the movie theater to the airport to vending machines, many are of the packaged variety. When you just have to have "junk food," you can make the best decisions possible by sticking to the following rules of thumb:
Always read the food label, when it's available, for ingredients and portion size to see what you're really getting and how much per package.
Choose packaged snack foods that have a source of protein or fiber, like unsalted nuts, seeds, or dried fruit to help keep your blood sugar levels in check.
Have a fiber-infused granola bar, even if it contains inulin (an added natural fiber product). It will keep you satisfied longer than your everyday granola bar.
Instead of regular chips, choose the baked variety to save on fat or make your own vegetable chips at home. Slice up potato (or sweet potato), break up kale or another green leafy veggie, baste with olive oil, and bake in the oven until crispy!
When at fast-food restaurants, choose foods that are grilled or broiled, not fried. In general, to cut calories and saturated fat, stick with lean meats like turkey, chicken without the skin, or fish.
Instead of regular or diet soft drinks, try a naturally flavored water or seltzer water.
A chemical that enables brain cells to exchange messages.

Craig: 'A Fabulous 50's Christmas' plus more
By Bob Craig For Sun-Times Media December 11, 2013 4:08PM
Lauren Demerath (from left), Rachelyn Primm and Cornelia Miller star in Towle Theater's "A Fabulous 50's Christmas."
Article Extras
Updated: January 14, 2014 11:05AM
Towle Theater presents its annual holiday classic, "A Fabulous 50's Christmas," to Dec. 22 in downtown Hammond.
A holiday show that appeals to all ages and is filled with kitschy tidbits that harken to the sappy and sentimental holiday musical variety shows of the 1950s and '60s, " A Fabulous 50's Christmas" is in its 11th year.
"I had no idea what the response would be the first year, but after the positive experience, I knew we should make it a annual event, show director Jeff Casey said.
"We have had audience members who see the show every year. We welcome you to treat your entire family to Hammond's very own holiday tradition and make it one of yours."
The show features a cast of five, a small orchestra combo and a few pieces of furniture that bring magic onstage.
"A Fabulous 50's Christmas" captures the spirit and joy of Christmas just as the Perry Como and Andy Williams TV Christmas specials did from years gone by.
For Casey and the theater, the challenge each year is to reinvent the show.
Even though the title remains the same, the show will change depending on the cast members.
The Towle has featured as few as five cast members and as many as 12 ranging in ages from 7 to 85.
The cast members also bring their personal and individual talents to the show.
In the past, actors have tap-danced ad played the Autoharp, saxophone, guitar, harp and the list could go on.
Each year the song arrangements and commercials as well as the set and the costumes change to keep "A Fabulous 50's Christmas" fresh.
This year's cast includes Dan Ball, Lauren Demerath, Cornelia Miller, Rachelyn Primm and Ian Rigg.
The musical director for "A Fabulous 50's Christmas" is Elizabeth Tuazon.
The Towle Theater is located in downtown Hammond at 5205 Hohman Ave. Information: (219) 937-8780 or towletheater.org.
'Tiny Tim'
At Crown Point Community Theatre to Dec. 22, the holiday offering is "Tiny Tim: A Christmas Carol Revisited."
Written by Steve Rowell and based on the Charles Dickens' classic "A Christmas Carol," "Tiny Tim: A Christmas Carol Revisited" follows a grown-up Tim Cratchit who has left his family in England and immigrated to New York City.
Although Tim has wealth and power, he has lost his humanity and his Christmas spirit.
The ghost of Tim's Uncle Scrooge (yes, that Scrooge) shows up with the Spirits of Christmas in unique, distinctly American forms to take Tim on three quests to recapture his understanding of the comforts and joys of the season.
Directed by Matthew B. Byerly, the cast includes Josey Andrews, Joe Culley, Payton Heinemann, Larry Hinken, Lydia Hogan, Christopher Landers, Erin Mahns, Pat Pohrte, Hermine Robinson, Nick Samsone, Kenneth Siegfried, Mark Tobecksen and Colleen Zana.
Crown Point Community Theatre is at 1125 Merrillville Road (in the Jewel plaza). Information: (219) 805-4255 or cpct.biz.
'Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol'
Another take on Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," is "Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol," which is from Marley's point of view.
The show is being staged to Dec. 15 at Beatniks on Conkey in Hammond.
Produced by the Hammond Community Theatre, the show is written by Tom Mula and directed by Earle and Betty Howe.
The cast includes Wayne Puchkors, Grant Fitch, Rich Wotkun, Donna Kuhn and Kali Rasala-Fitch.
Beatniks on Conkey is at 418 Conkey St., Hammond. Information: (888) 928-6648 or hammondcommunitytheatre.org.

Does anyone know of a mail-order source for hot caps, or something similar for transplant protection? I am looking for something inexpensive enough to use in large quantities. |

Guerney's has Hot Kaps. |
Thanks, Robin, that is what I want, but I am looking for a bulk source. I found one once while searching for something else, and didn't bookmark the site. (knocking self 'side the head) |

If I come across the Kaps while I'm searching for other things today I'll let you know. |
Zeedman: Harris Seed Company offers the hotkaps in two different sizes and in cases of either 100 or 1000. Good luck. www.harrisseeds.com |

Do not pay that kind of ridiculous money almost a dollar a piece plus shipping. You can make them out of newspaper for little or nothing. Great for nighttime early season frost protection As far as daytime freeze keep them on also. Do not plant your Tomatoes or other tender plants too early, unless you have a hoop house and protective row covers. |

I would use 2 liters cut in half. Already vented at the top and free!! :) |
The 2 liter pop bottles work quite well, trust me. But only when the plants are smaller. The cap can be removed during the day and if it is a sunny,warmer day and you worry about overheating the plant you can shade it partly with a piece of cheap muslin. |
Depending on the quantity you need and the layout of your garden, you might well be better served by temporary tunnels. If nothing else, they are a lot less labor. Harris lists 1000 Kaps at almost $300, that should easily build a temporary low tunnel with an inner floating row cover, which would offer good protection and several years of utility, and far less labor to maintain. Johnny's sells a tunnel system based on Eliot Colemans' design. http://www.johnnyseeds.com/c-597-quick-hoops-low-tunnels.aspx |

Low tunnels work well, IF your items are placed close together. If thse 1000 plants are placed in several small areas, like many small farmers have, 1 low tunnel won't work. Eliot sells alot of 'his' designs to Johnnys, since they are in the same area. I've met him and he gets alot of 'free' things because of his relationship with them. I find that Johnnys is one of the most expensive places to buy things, even using their commercial catalog which most people don't realize that they have. Commercial catalog are about 1/2 price if not lower than the regular catalogs that are sent out. Johnnys does have alot of information in the catalog, that's why I keep their commercial catalog as one of my favorites online. Marla |
Hot caps can be found on www.growcaps.net I think they only come in a pack of 10 but they will last for years. |

Unfortunately, 10 wouldn't even start me. I plant more than 30 of any variety. And most market gardeners would plant more than 10, it gets expensive after awhile. I know they last, but the upfront costs can break you. |
I have discovered that Gro-Caps and another company called Hot-Hats do sell bulk but in 500 pieces plus orders, for around $1.00 each. The trouble I found with the paper ones is anchouring them to the soil and with a small wind they are gone also they offer less protection from rain, hail etc. A word of caution, do not stack in bright sunlight! I did not read the label carefully. They generated sufficient heat when stacked togeather to distort the shape but they work great! especially on head lettuce and cabbage and you get tight clean leaves that are bug and dirt free. Good luck! |
