Ship Models/Boats
Small ships and boats are as common a sight on the Maine coast as are gulls and the same is true in our showrooms. We have a wide ranging fleet of small ship models and boats to choose from. Simple desktop sized boats and attractive small models all made of various woods await your inspection. We also have a "Do-It-Yourself" small ship kit just in case you'd like to try your hand at making one of these attractive vessels yourself.
Looking for something in a medium sized ship model or boat? We can accommodate your needs. We carry another wide assortment of medium sized ships and boat of varying levels of detail to satisfy your nautical craving. The classic Maine Lobster boat is well represented and lovingly recreated in our fleet along with working and pleasure boats of many types. As with our small ship models we carry a "Do-It-Yourself" kit for a medium sized boat.
Our large ship models and boats are simply extraordinary and must be seen to be believed. We have historically accurate and wonderfully detailed models of several famous ships of the era of sail, including "Old Ironsides" herself, the USS Constitution. Famous clippers and even pirate vessels are anchored up in our showroom awaiting your arrival. All of them are carefully and quality crafted of wood and many are fully rigged, by hand! Wonderfully suited for display, these ships will please any old salt.
Of course, no website would be complete without a disclaimer. Here is ours:
"Every effort is made to mark the price and identify all Maine State Prison Showroom products accurately. However, prices and descriptions are subject to change without prior notice. Please call the Showroom for current pricing."
The Maine State Prison Showroom staff will be glad to answer any questions you may have concerning pricing or product availability. Please call us at (207) 354-9237, (207) 354-0141, or email us.

I developed and published an app on App Store but it crashes on all jailbroken phones. Starting the app on a JB iPhone, it shows the splash screen with logo, then crashes. The app is simple: a list of data received from server in json format. Plus, there is a Facebook login for users, required at first time (immediately asked after splash screen, so I think is something wrong with FB SDK).
The version of FB SDK is the last: 3.1.1. The app is develop for iOS 5.1.
Maybe is a know issue.. so I'm asking you measures to apply, to avoid the crash?

MediaWiki: The Definitive Wiki Engine
- By Kevin Muldoon
- Posted in Design
- 9 comments
By now most everyone online has heard of Wikipedia; the online encyclopedia that boasts millions of articles in dozens of languages. It revolutionised the way content was delivered online and popularised the word 'Wiki'. According to Google, it is the 6th most popular website in the world.
What you may not know is that Wikipedia is powered by wiki software called MediaWiki. In fact, all projects of the Wikimedia Foundation use MediaWiki such as Wiktionary, Wikiquote and Wikibooks.
What is MediaWiki?
MediaWiki is a free open source script that was released on January 25 2002 under the GNU General Public License. When Wikipedia was released in January 2001 it was originally based on UseModWiki software. However in the Summer of 2001 a German Wikipedia editor called Magnus Manske began working on a replacement as UseModWiki was proving to be too limiting.
Written in PHP with all the information being stored in a MySQL database, the improved Wiki software would eventually power Wikipedia from July 2002 onwards and would become known as MediaWiki.
The download file is only 14mb in size yet the platform can support websites with terabytes of content and huge amounts of traffic. It's easy to use, easy to edit, allows reverting to previous revisions in case of spamming and is multimedia friendly. Caching is supported too.
The software has over 700 configuration settings and over 1,800 extensions as well making it a very flexible platform for publishing content online.
12 Popular Websites That Use MediaWiki
You may have visited a website that was powered by MediaWiki already without knowing it.
Below is a list of 11 popular websites that publish content using the MediaWiki software. As you will see, the majority of websites that use MediaWiki don't modify the design of the script beyond uploading their own logo.
1. Wikipedia
The first website to use MediaWiki and by far the most popular website using the script. As previously mentioned, Wikipedia redefined how information was published online.
2. Wikiquote
A project of the Wikimedia Foundation, WikiQuote is where you find famous quotations from famous people, films and literature.
An encyclopedia that does not allow bias or distortion of the truth in it's articles.
4. Metapedia
Focuses on culture, art, science, philosophy and politics.
5. WikiTravel
One of the most popular travel websites on the web.
6. WikiCars
One of the largest guides to cars on the internet.
7. Wikihow
The largest collection of 'How To' articles on the web.
Over 3,000 free summaries of books.
10. Wikia
A for-profit website that was built using MediaWiki. It's the home of some of the most popular wikis on the web such as the Star Trek information site Memory Alpha, the Lost encyclopedia Lostpedia,
Unclopedia, Lyric Wiki and World of Warcraft Wiki.
A resource for game developers that provides tutorials and code for programming video games.
12. The TV IV
The site is a virtual compendium of television knowledge that anyone can edit.
30 Free MediaWiki Templates
As we have seen, most MediaWiki users don't customise their design beyond the aforementioned logo change. The default skin for versions after 1.6 of MediaWiki is called Vector. It's a plain design but very functional.
If you are looking to set your wiki out from the crowd, you may want to customise your site by uploading one of the many skins available for the script.
1. Fratman
2. BlueWiki
3. KindofBlue
4. Rounded Blue
6. Misty Look
8. SnaggleTooth
9. ItrMenuPlus
10. Cavendish
11. Wolfbane
12. WPtouch
13. Pixeled
14. WoW Wikia
16. The Erudite MW
17. GuMax
18. ycgu_max
19. Clean
20. Clean and Blue
21. SnapHouston
22. Cosmo Chips
23. BookJive
24. Drupal
25. Enhanced Relief
26. FlaternalRefief
27. Cheops
28. Dusk

30. Tech
Useful MediaWiki Links & Resources
Some links you may find useful if you decide to use MediaWiki.
- MediaWiki Home Page
- Download MediaWiki
- MediaWiki FAQ
- MediaWiki Technical Manual
- Upgrading MediaWiki
- MediaWiki Users – A discussion community for MediaWiki owners.
- SiteGround – Has a range of MediaWiki related tutorials.
There is a lot of wiki software available for free online, however MediaWiki stands head and shoulders above the rest for it's ease of use, functionality and flexibility.
Don't take our word for it. Give It A Try and if it doesn't do what you need it to do you can always try another wiki script.

Always nice to see MediaWiki in the spotlight! It's also used on a lot of 'corporate' sites – Adobe uses it for their Adobe Labs wiki, Intel uses it internally, and Mozilla and WordPress use MediaWiki for documentation.
- Richard Heigl, 28 September 2011
There is a free MediaWiki distribution for enterprises coming: http://www.blue-spice.org :-)
- roaet, 28 September 2011
"An encyclopedia that does not allow bias or distortion of the truth in it's articles."
Really? Sounds a bit like this author allows bias and distortion.
- roaet, 28 September 2011
Unless he was being sarcastic, but that'd be distortion of the truth in the least. :P

- fwolf, 03 October 2011
The author of this article has probably never used other Wiki engines – MediaWiki is still a mess to properly customize AND use, esp. thanks to that extremely complicated aka bewildering Wiki markup. These are the main reasons why I prefer DokuWiki (aside of being db-independent; ie. the Unix file system is the FASTEST way to store and retrieve data!) – easy to set-up, easy to customize (compared to MediaWiki), and a very well thought-out Wiki markup.

Winter Clothes Challenge!
This week I realized it's December and there are winter clothes I haven't worn yet.
My challenge: If you're like me, if you haven't worn it by now, you probably won't. Clean out your closets with me!
I started a new give-away box this week and I seem to be adding to it daily. Post your challenge results here!
My noteworthy flings:
1. Two sweaters that are definitely "winter" but too thin to be warm (which defeats the purpose of a sweater)
2. A pair of Dockers pants that make me feel really fat... the funny thing being that Weight Watchers was very successful for me and they're a size 4. Who wants to feel fat in a size 4??? LOL
3. One beautiful red sweater that I thought would fit this year because it has a round "yoke" and no shoulder seams. Looks OK on the shoulders but the width is way too big. As much as I love it, it's gone.
This morning's clothing challenge will be trying on a jacket that I really love... but I think it's going to be too big, too. I've been pushing it around the closet for fear that it won't fit so I'm afraid to try it on. How silly of me!!!
I've been pushing it around the closet for fear that it won't fit so I'm afraid to try it on. How silly of me!!!
Aw, that's sweet, actually--and vvery understandable.
But be tough. Think of this--that lovely jacket is lonely just hanging in the closet; if it *does* fit, it can be your friend again. If it doesn't, you can find someone it *will* fit.
(I'll confess, some items like that, that I just really loved, I search out a recipient for instead of dumping them at the Goodwill)
Julie, that is a great challenge, and one that I did last week! I have to say, I am very good about tossing clothes I don't wear. I hate a cluttered closet. I only want my favorites in it! But golly, my closet sure is looking sparce!
Last week I got rid of:
-A sweater that I absolutely loved when I bought it, but never wore because I realized the neckline wasn't right. I did keep it for over a year before finally tossing it.
-Jeans that I don't like.
-2 skirts that almost touch the floor. I'm realizing it's okay to show some leg! (smile)
I just spent most of yesterday going through my closet and started on DH's. What gave me the motivation was spending way too much money for brand new wood hangers for both of us. I am amazed how nice and neat it all looks with matching hangers. And the clothes hang so much neater and smoother, since all the heights match. It sounds silly, but something like hangers can really be a good motivator. I have to admit though I did keep all my "one size too small" levis. My weight has yo-yoed (Not a word, but it works for me!) back and forth about 15 pounds for the last two years. They fit in the warm weather and are too tight in the winter. Drives me crazy! But if I just keep it because it's "okay" I decided it is't enough. I have to REALLY like it for it to stay. It is amazing how much that cut down on junk. Why I spent so much time keeping things I really didn't like is beyond me. While DH was at work last night, I sorted through his stuff. If I don't like it, it doesn't stay! LOL! He hasn't noticed yet! Still need to sort my shoes though.
Oh, boy, Brenda. You are really brave going through DH's closet. Maybe I could try that when mine isn't looking (he's always home).
As to getting rid of clothes: I've made 3 trips so far this fall to the bins in back of the Red Cross building (have more stuff to go). However, before I donated a coat to a local church collection, it was the biggest burden on my mind. It had been so expensive, but I wore it only about 2 times. When I tried it on this winter, the shoulders hung way off mine, the bottom of the coat hung to the bottom of my fanny, the pockets were way too low, and I could wrap the front of the coat all the way under my armpit. Why did I get it in the first place? Hope someone else can use it.
I am really not THAT brave. I pretty much knew most of what I was getting rid of weren't his favorites. I did get in BIG trouble last spring when I got rid of an old WSU Rose Bowl sweatshirt. It had 19 holes (I counted!) and the maroon had faded to dusty rose, so I stupidly thought he wouldn't care. Apparently it was "sentimental"! He would hardly speak to me for a week! So I am a bit more careful now!
This morning I was looking in DS's closet because he was coming home from college to work today and I wanted to make sure he had left a pair of khaki pants here. Yes (several).
WORSE THING: Found a pair shoved in one side (this kid has more clothes than American Eagle) of his closet that were still ripped and bleach-spotted from when he worked at a Boy Scout Ranch 3 or 4 summers ago. NO WAY would he ever wear them, so in the garbage they went.
But that was WAY different than a Rose Bowl shirt!!!!! LOL
Oh, Brenda, that's what would happen if I got rid of DH's beloved racing shirt. It's a ratty tee-shirt with a race car on it. He only wears it when he goes to the car races. When I mention how ratty it is, he reminds me that he no longer gets free racing tee-shirts from Marlboro because when they once called the house for a survey, I adamently told them "Oh, my husband doesn't smoke!" You should've seen my DH's face when I proudly told him that I set this company straight. They immediately took him off their list, and he never got another free racing tee-shirt. He reminds me of this all the time. So I won't dare touch that ratty racing shirt!!!
As for matching hangers, I do believe they can make a difference. I don't have nice wood ones, but I'm at least trying to have matching plastic ones. I like how all my clothes hang the same. I have even color-coordinated them! Woo hoo!!!
There was an article recently in the paper about how you can send in your ratty t-shirts to this place and they will make them into a quilt for you. I was actually tempted until I read the price (which was something like $500).
Sheryl, perhaps you could email Marlboro and tell them your husband has decided to take up smoking? LOL Maybe for Christmas you could get him a new racing shirt?
We keep having a plastic hanger crisis here. WHERE ARE THEY?? It goes something like this:
Day 1: All laundry is done, 4 hangers left.
Day 5: Fill a box of give-away clothes, which provides 10 more extra hangers.
Day 7: Do laundry again, come up 12 hangers short.
Julie, thanks for the challenge! I finally parted with two L.L. Bean sweaters (which of course means they were too good to get rid of, lol) that have been in my closet for years. I finally looked at them with a critical eye and, though they are in really good shape, I realized they weren't flattering at all and weren't even that warm. Off to Goodwill they go.
As for hangers, perhaps yours are migrating to my house. Every time I go into the closet the hangers appear to have reproduced! This used to just happen with the icky wire ones from the drycleaners, but now the plastic ones are doing it too ...

2013 Toyota Venza Review and Prices

2013 Toyota Venza Buying Advice
The 2013 Toyota Venza is the best car for you if you want a five-seater that's more than a car but less than an SUV.
The 2013 Toyota Venza -- essentially a station-wagon take on the Toyota Camry sedan – gets minor styling changes and connectivity upgrades. It does not differ in any significant way from the 2012 Toyota Venza and remains basically the same midsize crossover it's been since its model-year 2009 introduction. The 2013 Venza continues with a choice of four- and six-cylinder engines, front- or all-wheel drive, and a base-price range of $28,510-$39,680.
Should you buy a 2013 Toyota Venza or wait for the 2014 Toyota Venza? Buy a 2013 Venza. It has the midlife freshening that'll carry this crossover to its next full redesign, which could come for model year 2015. The 2014 Venza promises no advances worth waiting for, although its styling will have a shorter shelf life than the 2013's – and it'll likely cost more.
2013 Toyota Venza Changes back to top
Styling: Styling updates to the 2013 Toyota Venza are most visible in the subtly re-sculpted nose. It carries a simplified grille insert, a larger lower air intake, and revised fog lamps. The taillamps also are reshaped, the look of the standard alloy wheels is new, and three fresh colors are available: Toyota calls them Attitude Black, Cypress Pearl, and Cosmic Gray Mica.
Unchanged is Venza's overall size and shape. It remains about as long and wide as the majority of midsize SUVs, including Toyota's own seven-passenger Highlander. But Venza's roofline is some 5.5 inches lower than that of the typical crossover and more similar to that of competing wagons like the 2013 Honda Crosstour and 2013 Subaru Outback.
To create the Venza, Toyota added to the basic Camry understructure a larger wagon body and a suspension beefed up to handle the extra weight. It filled the wheel openings with big 19- and 20-inch diameter wheels. It provided a relatively generous 8.1 inches of ground clearance and elevated the seating position, but kept the door sills low enough for a comfortable step-in height. Designers slanted the liftgate to make it stylish without slicing into cargo room. Indeed, Venza has an expansive 34.4 cubic feet behind its rear seat and 70.1 with both sides of the 60/40 split rear seatbacks folded down.
The cumulative result is a roomy midsize crossover that's more than a car but something less than a truck-wannabe crossover SUV.
The 2013 Toyota Venza lineup returns three trim levels, base LE, upgraded XLE with leather upholstery, and top-line Limited with standard navigation among its additional equipment (see the Features section below for details). Toyota separates these models by the slightest of styling cues: door handles on the XLE and Limited are chrome versus body-colored on the LE, for example. All models have fog lamps and alloy wheels.
Mechanical: The 2013 Toyota Venza is mechanically unchanged. Its roots remain in the 2007-2011 generation Camry and although Toyota introduced a new-generation Camry for model-year 2012, it did not alter the platform significantly or change its dimensions.
That leaves the 2013 Venza with some carryover mechanical specifications that Toyota obviously considers well matched to its mission. Venza's base engine remains a 2.7-liter four-cylinder with 181 horsepower and 182 pound-feet of torque (think of torque as the energy that gets a vehicle moving, horsepower as the force that keeps it moving.)
Returning as an option on the 2013 Venza LE and XLE models and standard on the Limited is a smooth and surprisingly strong 3.5-liter V-6 with 268 horsepower and 246 pound-feet of torque. This V-6 is also found in a variety of other cars and crossovers from Toyota and its premium Lexus brand.
Four-cylinder or V-6, the 2013 Venza again uses a six-speed automatic transmission with a gear lever that sprouts from the base of the dashboard and conveniently slips into a separate gate for manual-type shifting. Well calibrated to both engines, the transmission is key to providing any Venza with perfectly appropriate performance.
All 2013 Venza models continue with a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel-drive (AWD). Venza isn't an off-road crossover, so the main function of its AWD system is to sustain traction on snow, slippery pavement, or gravel. It automatically redistributes power front-to-rear, then returns to front-wheel drive when grip is restored.
Though the appearance of the alloy wheels changes with the model-year 2013 freshening, Toyota decided against neutering Venza's husky character by fitting smaller wheels and tires. Models with the four-cylinder engine again come with 19-inch diameter wheels. Venzas with the V-6 come with 20s. Both are among the largest standard sizes in the midsize crossover class – and among the largest on any Toyota. They contribute to Venza's positioning as a sportier wagon than the family-focused Highlaner but also saddle this crossover with undue ride thumpiness and road noise.
An optional towing package allows V-6 Venzas to trailer up to 3,500 pounds, same as most light-duty SUVs. Venza's handling balance is a sensible match for its intended duty, but the 2013 model would have benefitted from firmer, more precise steering – especially in V-6 versions.
Features: Most notable among the few changes to the 2013 Venza's list of features is addition of Toyota's Entune infotainment service; it's optional on the LE model and standard on the XLE and Limited. The 2013 LE also gains the same outside mirrors with integrated turn signals and puddle lamps as the other Venza models.
In all, the 2013 Venza continues as a comprehensively equipped crossover. Even the LE includes such standard features as dual-zone automatic climate control, power driver's seat with power lumbar, tilt/telescopic steering wheel with integrated audio controls, Bluetooth hands-free mobile-phone and music-streaming connectivity, three 12-volt power outlets, and 10 beverage holders. The LE also comes with Toyota's Display Audio system, which includes a 6.1-inch dashboard touchscreen, six speakers, and an auxiliary audio jack and USB iPod interface.
The optional Convenience Package for the 2013 Venza LE adds a power liftgate and a backup camera. The LE's Preferred Package option adds a panoramic glass roof with front power moonroof and the navigation system with Entune.
Toyota's navigation system is accessed through the dashboard touchscreen or voice commands and responds to speech more accurately than systems in many competitors. The Entune component taps smartphones in the vehicle to access apps such as the Bing search engine and a selection of music options, including iHeartRadio Pandora Internte radio. It also helps deliver live weather and gas-station location and price information.
The 2013 Venza XLE upgrades the LE by incorporating the Convenience Package and navigation with Entune system and then includes standard leather upholstery, heated front seats, power passenger seat, driver-seat memory, and keyless entry with pushbutton ignition, among other features. The 2013 Venza XLE offers one major option, the Premium Package. This includes a JBL audio system with subwoofer, SiriusXM satellite radio (with three-month trial subscription), and HD radio with iTunes tagging.
The top-of-line 2013 Venza Limited comes standard with all the above, plus an upgraded navigation system with a seven-inch high resolution touchscreen, LED daytime running lights, and xenon headlamps with automatic high beams that detect oncoming vehicles and automatically switch to low-beam.
Pet-friendly Venza accessories available at Toyota dealerships include a rear pet ramp, booster seat with harness, and hammock style waterproof seat covers.
2013 Toyota Venza Prices back to top
Base-price range for the 2013 Toyota Venza is $28,510-$39,680. Compared with 2012 Venza base prices, that's an increase of about $270 for LE models, about $1,580 for XLEs, and about $995 for Limited models. (Base prices in this review include the manufacturer's mandated destination fee; Toyota's fee for the 2013 Venza is $810. Note that Toyotas sold in certain Gulf and Southeastern states may carry a different destination fee.)
Base price for the 2013 Toyota Venza LE equipped with the four-cylinder engine is $28,510 with front-wheel drive and $29,960 with AWD. V-6 versions of the 2013 Venza LE start at $30,060 with front-drive and $31,780 with AWD.
Equipped with the four-cylinder engine, the 2013 Venza XLE is priced from $32,170 with front-drive and from $33,620 with AWD. Venza XLE V-6 editions have a base price of $33,990 with front-wheel-drive and $35,440 with AWD.
The 2013 Venza Limited comes with the V-6 and starts at $38,230 with front-wheel-drive and $39,690 with AWD.
2013 Toyota Venza Fuel Economy back to top
EPA gas-mileage ratings for the 2013 Toyota Venza are unchanged, leaving this crossover wagon more fuel-efficient than most midsize SUVs and ahead of like-equipped direct competitors.
Four-cylinder versions of the 2013 Venza rate 21/27/23 mpg city/highway/combined with front-wheel drive and 20/25/22 mpg with AWD.
Six-cylinder 2013 Venzas rate 19/26/22 mpg with front-wheel drive and 18/25/21 with AWD. Both engines use 87-octane gas.
2013 Toyota Venza Release Date back to top
The 2013 Toyota Venza went on sale in late May 2012.
What's next for the 2013 Toyota Venza back to top
The 2013 Toyota Venza's facelift should carry this crossover to its next full redesign, likely to come for model year 2015. Between now and then, Toyota could explore ways to increase Venza's fuel economy through engine tuning and other tricks. While Toyota has pledged that each of its model lines will include a hybrid by the early 2020s, a gas-electric version of the Venza isn't likely as part of this first-generation run.
Bigger picture, Toyota will be monitoring sales of the Venza and that of similar puffed-up wagons to see if this segment of the crossover class has legs. It hasn't been a pretty picture so far. The Chrysler Pacifica and Ford Freestyle flopped. The Mercedes-Benz R-class, Acura ZDX, and BMW 5-Series GT, and even the Ford Flex are sales disappointments. Venza got off to a slower-than-projected start, and Toyota's fortunate the even slower-selling Honda Crosstour hasn't proved much of a threat. All this raises the possibility that Venza may not have a long-term future as a station-wagon-flavored crossover.
2013 Toyota Venza Competition back to top
Honda Crosstour: It dropped the "Accord Crosstour" name for model-year 2012 but this remains Honda's Venza-like take on the Accord midsize sedan. Crosstour bowed for model-year 2010 with front- or all-wheel drive but a V-6 engine only. A lower-priced four-cylinder model was added for 2012, though it's available only with front-drive. Pricing and fuel economy are comparable to Venza's but a racier slant to Crosstour's liftgate keeps it short of the Toyota for cargo versatility – a serious flaw in our view. Crosstour matches Venza for passenger space, though, and it's sportier to drive – a serious advantage in our view. Estimated 2013 Crosstour base-price range is $29,000-$36,000. An all-new Accord bows for model-year 2013, although what that means for the future of the slow-selling Crosstour is uncertain.
Subaru Outback: Outback is the original station-wagon crossover and the current version is the best yet. It has as much passenger room as Venza and Crosstour and more cargo volume than either. It also has more ground clearance, and all Outbacks come standard with an AWD system that's highly adept, if not quite Rubicon-ready. Performance is tepid with the four-cylinder-engine, which needs more than the 170 horsepower it's been saddled with for the past few years. Acceleration is good with the six-cylinder, which should return for model-year 2013 with 256 horsepower. Estimated base-price range for the 2013 Outback is $25,000-$33,000. Outback was all-new for model-year 2010 and won't change again for several years.
Ford Edge: It's taller and much less like a family station wagon than the others in this grouping, but Edge still treads just this side of faux-truck SUV. This macho-looking five-seat crossover should return for model-year 2013 with a choice of three engines. The turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder has 240 horsepower and a 21/30/24-mpg rating – but is available only with front-drive. AWD versions should again offer a choice of V-6s with 285 or 305 horsepower paired with front- or all-wheel drive. They'll again rate several miles per gallon less than Venza's V-6, a deficit owed in large measure to the Ford's 300-400 pounds of additional curb weight versus the Toyota. Estimated 2013 Edge base-price range is $29,000-$39,000. Edge is on track to be redesigned for model-year 2014 or '15.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Excellent quality & service
Whom My Soul Loves Tea-length Programs We ordered invitations, reply cards, reception inserts, favor tags, and ceremony programs all of this design (Whom My Soul Loves) and were so pleased with them! We ordered the Pearl upgraded card stock and it was beautiful. The only negative about the pearl is that it was very difficult to write on for the Reply Cards, so I would recommend getting different card stock for those. Overall, we loved the products we ordered and would recomment Magnet Street to anyone. They were very prompt with each order we placed.
perfect pick
Whom My Soul Loves Rectangle Invitations I personalized these invitations to match my colors and they turned out lovely! I'm so happy with my purchase.
In love with my invites
Whom My Soul Loves Square Invitations My invites were perfect and they were everything I wanted and some. Thank you Magnetstreet.
pleasantly pleased
Whom My Soul Loves Tea-length Programs really pleased with the way my programs turned out. and they were shipped so fast! I also love how I could custom make basically everything- some other sites only let you customize 1 or 2 components of a program- will purchase from magnet street in the future for sure! :)
love my wedding invitations
Whom My Soul Loves Square Invitations My first experience with magnetstreet was when I ordered my save the dates. As a happy customer I came back and ordered my invitations. I love my invitations. I was very happy with the whole process from selecting custom colors, to samples and receiving the final product. The one and only negative: the invitations were slightly too large for 70 cent square stamps, so I ended up paying 98 cents per invite mailed. If only the invites were less than half an inch smaller they would have made the cut. Still, I love the square invitations and I'm still a happy customer.

(Corynactis californica)
The strawberry anemone is found along the rocky shore of the eastern Pacific Ocean from British Columbia to the Baja Peninsula. It forms clusters of many individuals under rocky ledges or on shaded rocks, concrete pilings and legs of oil platforms.
The strawberry anemone is not a true anemone, although it superficially resembles one. It is a corallimorpharian, which is more closely related to stony corals, except that it lacks a calcareous exoskeleton. Its most common colors are red, crimson or pink. Its tentacles are transparent to white in color and have a swelling at their tip.
Look for the strawberry anemone in the smaller exhibits in the Cold Water Quest gallery.

NMM 10,071.  Oboe by Johann Ziegler, Vienna, ca. 1840. Stamped on all three joints: [Hapsburg eagle] / I. ZIEGLER / WIEN. / 1.  Built of boxwood with ivory mounts and fourteen brass keys. Tuning slide to the top joint, with a compass one note lower than would be expected at the time. Hardly ever played, it survives in perfect original condition, along with the original, velvet-lined case covered with black leather with a stamped design and the original, black, cardboard, telescoping reed box with four compartments, holding four early reeds in the French style. Berlioz notes the rustic quality of the oboe sound, relating back to the 18th-century sound concept, but also noted in his famous treatise on instrumentation (1844; 2nd ed., 1855) that Beethoven appreciated "this precious instrument" for its "joyful sound," as well as "when he gave it sad or desolate music." On the other hand, Berlioz also wrote about "useful inventions . . . destined to replace oboes and cors anglais in provincial orchestras, where these instruments are very little and very badly played."

The bed was comfortable and the shower head was awesome.
WI Fi never worked for any of us.
Few minutes walk from Hollywood Walk of fame so a great location, nice staff.
Poor shower, staff are generally nice but they don't help much. I think price should be less per night.
first class location. Hotel was chosen for this. Staff were helpful.
kitchen facilities were crowded. The smell of incense doesn't make for the best impression in the lobby and the hotel was just aok - everything seemed a bit run down - light on phone always blinked, 1 lamp in room didn't work.
Amazing location with very helpful and friendly staff. The room was spacious with everything we needed, it exceeded our expectations!
Low Price Good location Much more than you can expect you to price Breakfast and car parking included
Nothing to complain
Good hotel with free underground parking, ok breakfast, free wifi, good location and helpful staff.
The area is noisy all night/day, the shower was a bit weak and the bathroom smelled of cigarette.
The location, few minutes from the walk of fame
The room needs to be refurbished, the bathroom also; the curtains were so old and dirty that I cannot touch them!
Location was great. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable.
If I have to be picky, hotel is quite close to the road.
Very nice and friendly people working there, very nice location near hollywood blvd, universial studios, warner bros, griffith park... Cheap price!
Everything is ok for this low price and nice location
Very friendly and helpfu.l comfortable beds
Breakfast area small and limited. However nice to sit out by pool in the summer
The location
Breakfast n noisy air conditioner kept me awake.
proximité hollywood boulevard confort piscine parking gratuit
parking pas accessible aux vehicules hauts (vans)
Value for money. The motel is close to the Walk of Fame, food and laundry. The motel was clean and tidy.
It was a very close walk to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And the bed was comfy. WiFi was working well.
The bathroom smelled. The reason was black mold in the corner of the bathtub. I am pretty sure the cleaning lady did not clean up that well. Even one of my pillow sheets were dirty, seems that someone stepped with shoes on the sheet. If I cleaned my teeth over the wash-basin, it smelled out of the basin as well. No wonder as there was no odor below it, I can imagine why it smelled. It was way much darker in the room than I expected according to the pictures on their homepage. In summary when I will visit L.A. again in the future I would not choose this hotel any more.
Looks nicer in the picture than it really is, but nothing really important. Rooms are pretty good.
small hotel, no elevator ,close for breakfast too quick .I think it should be 6-10
Location, very helpful staff, breakfast great coffee and enough there to keep you going to lunch. Coffee by the pool first think in the morning. Aircon and ice machine spot on. Fridge ace for drinks and medication plus a microwave. Beds comfy and nice power shower. Hairdryer and enough room to put all your cases and stuff. Location awesome for Rock walk of fame, Hollywood walk and sunset strip just a short walk 5mins.Opposite hotel ace ice-cream parlour, Burger King a few doors down and plenty of chicken/pizza and other food restaurants in a short distance. Close to all sightseeing tour buses and transport to the Hollywood Bowl. Great big TV .Very much like our UK Travelodge but with more extras. Great value for money and a very friendly service.
Only thing if I wanted to be picky was the wooden draws a bit wonky that you put your cloths in and maybe a lick of paint to freshen the bathroom up but as a whole a great budget hotel much better than expected.
Location excelent!!
The room was very noise. We have that change room because the noise was very loud!!
Parking facility's and the Location.
Nothing bad about the stay.
Pool area was nice. The desk clerk who lent me his phone should be promoted. He cares about the customer very much.
The noise from the road. The general cleanliness was below the standards of other hotels we have stayed in. The shower did not work properly in Rm200
Staff in check-in and check-out and location
Breakfast staff
Location to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Cleanliness of the Hotel.
For what I paid for the room, I did not get my money's worth. It was overpriced. The Breakfast was unsatisfactory. Service was appalling. Apart from the first receptionist we came into contact with, Staff made out the guests were more of an inconvenience than anything. I didn't experience it myself but the lady at the Breakfast Bar was snapping at some of the other guests because the toaster was not working properly. What do you expect when tourists can't speak English? I definitely would not stay there again.
the location and staff are good
bed and pillow is not very comfortable. They even give me the smaller pillows in the first two days and I didn't know that they had normal size pillow until they replaced it.

City, arts community partnering for streetlamp programBy: Matt Durnan | Posted: Thursday, May 15, 2014 10:43 am Airdrie artists are being invited to submit their works of art for a chance to have their creations displayed on light posts around the city. The City of Airdrie has partnered with Creative Airdrie, Airdrie Regional Art Society and Camgill Enterprises to launch a two-year pilot program to dress up Airdrie�s First Avenue and Eighth Street with an assortment of banners. There will be 33 lamp posts in total with two banner spots on each post for a total of 66 banner spots. There will be 44 spots available for artists� work and 22 spaces will be used to promote the tentatively named �Artists� Way.� The call for art submissions is open to any artist over the age of 12 and residing in Airdrie or within 20 kms. �The piece of art is completely up to the artist, it doesn�t necessarily have to be a new creation, it can be something that they have done in the past,� said Creative Airdrie Chair Sherry Shaw-Froggatt. Shaw-Froggatt noted that artists should be cognizant that the artwork will be in a vertical format and that, �it�s probably better to choose something that suits the format, a panoramic landscape painting might not work as well.� Hardware to hang the banners is already in place on light posts along First Avenue and Eighth Street and the banners will be printed by Flag Works in Calgary. Airdrie Regional Arts Society President Glen Collins is encouraging submissions. He said having work displayed in an outdoor gallery such as this would be a great boost to an artist�s portfolio. �This could raise public awareness of your abilities and impact future job opportunities,� said Collins. Creative Airdrie and the Airdrie Regional Arts Society are working together by acting as project managers, recruiting artists and coordinating production and promotion. The Arts Society and Creative Airdrie, along with City staff will make up a panel that will judge the artwork and select winners. The City of Airdrie will install the banners and maintain them for a two-year timeframe. Shaw-Froggatt expects the banners to be hanging before Canada Day on July 1. Michelle Lock, Airdrie director of community services commended the partnership between the City and arts community for the project, saying it, �brings Airdrie�s community vision to life.� �The streetlamp program leverages a combination of community resources to create an exciting sense of place, an elevated appreciation for artistic expression and contributes to Airdrie as a vibrant, quality of life community,� said Lock. Submissions for the program are due by May 30. For more information visit www.creativeairdrie.ca or contact Shaw-Froggatt at email@example.com Comments

By Luka Biong Deng
On 27th September, President Salva Kiir and President Omer Al Bashir penned in Addis, Ethiopia, the Cooperation Agreement between the Republic of South Sudan and Republic of Sudan. This Agreement was witnessed by President Thabo Mbeki of the AU Panel and the Prime Minister of Ethiopia Haile Mariam. It reaffirmed the commitment of the two countries to ensure full implementation of the nine (9) previous agreements including Abyei June 2011 Agreement and the newly concluded eight (8) agreements. These agreements were reached after a painful and bumpy facilitation process by the AU Panel.
The AU Panel headed by President Thabo Mbeki, General Abdusalami Abubakar and President Pierre Buyoya are to be congratulated for the remarkable success not only in averting war between South and Sudan but also in renewing hope for building good relations between the two countries. It has not been at all an easy exercise as the stakes were so high after the bitter divorce of the two states. Africa must make more use of its leaders such as the former heads of states for nurturing peace and stability in the continent.
As President Salva and President Bashir signed this Cooperation Agreement, there is now a renewed hope for establishing two viable states with peaceful relations and security commitment to renounce any resort to war or violence in the conduct of their relations. If this agreement is fully implemented, the people of the two countries and continent will greatly benefit from the stability and good relations between the two countries. The costs of strained relations between the two countries have been quite high.
While these agreements are to be ratified by the parliaments of the two states before their implementation, the real question is whether they meet the aspirations of the people of the two countries. The international community has unanimously welcomed these agreements with the hope of putting the two countries on the path of peace and stability. For the regime in Khartoum, these agreements have greatly improved its tarnished image and provide opportunity to prolong its power. I was impressed by the way the Head of the Sudan Negotiation Team Mr Idris Abdel Ghadir defended these agreements, particularly the agreement on the four freedoms. Knowing him and his previous position on the four freedoms, I was surprised that he even wished the four freedoms with the South to be increased to 40 freedoms. In fact Sudan has diplomatically, politically and economically gained a lot from these agreements. The Sudanese pound gained strength after the signing of these agreements. We need, however, to see how Sudan will implement these agreements given its incredible records of dishonouring agreements.
For the South, these agreements may require more efforts to be explained to the citizens. Generally one would say that the South, during the negotiation of these agreements, has diplomatically regained the trust and confidence from the international community. The people of the South should give credit to the well-done job by the negotiation team headed by a credible and shrewd negotiator Comrade Pagan Amum. In terms of cost-benefit analysis, one would say that the South will lose in the short run but it has a chance of transforming these losses into enormous benefits in the medium and long-run if these agreements are fully implemented in good faith.
Certainly, these agreements cannot be termed as ideal, particularly as the South was negotiating with such a bad neighbour that controls the critical oil infrastructure that is detrimental to its oil industry. One would term what the South might have lost in these agreements as the cost of having a bad neighbour, being a land-locked country and dependent entirely on oil. The period of 3.5 years of this agreement will give time for the South to put its house in order and to build a diversified economy that is not dependent on one source and one neighbour. With the resumption of oil production, the South is expected to receive oil revenues totaling not less than $10 billion in the next three years. If it can keep its current austerity budget with more tightened fiscal discipline, then South will be able to save more resources for its strategic sectors such as agriculture, infrastructure and education.
On oil agreement, the people of the two countries will benefit a lot as the oil revenues will help the governments to keep its pro-poor spending, particularly in health, education and water. However, while the two countries have agreed on processing fees of $1.6 per barrel, transit fees of $1 per barrel and average transport fees of $7.5 per barrel for oil entitlements of the government of the South Sudan, Khartoum has the right to set transit fees of $4 per barrel to the oil companies. In addition to these fees, the South shall pay $15 per barrel as transitional financial arrangement (not assistance) totaling $3.028 billion for the period of 3.5 years. In fact Sudan will receive in total $7 billion with $5 billion being the cost of processing, transport, and transits fees and transitional financial arrangement from the oil share of the Government of South Sudan and $2 billion as fees from the oil share of the oil companies operating in South Sudan. One would say that Sudan has managed to get nearly $28 per every barrel to be transported through its territory.
On other economic matters, the South Sudanese who served as public civil servants in Sudan will be able to receive their post-service benefits including pensions from the government of Sudan. This will amount to more than $1 billion and it is not a gift from Khartoum but it is rather a cumulative monthly contribution made by these civil servants during the period of their service in Sudan. Also the South will assist Khartoum in the campaign for $40 billion debt relief as well as mobilizing international community for more development assistance to Sudan and lifting of economic sanctions. Importantly, the people of the South will be able to access and acquire their archives and cultural heritage properties in Sudan. The South even requested from Khartoum to hand over all properties in the national museums to the South so as to protect them from destruction by Islamic extremists as it happened in Mali.
On the four freedoms, trade and soft borders, the people of the two countries will greatly benefit, particularly the people of Sudan. I was surprise that there are some extremists in Sudan who are against the four freedoms. One would expect the people of the South to resist the four freedoms as they are less likely to make better use of such freedoms in Sudan. However, given the difficulty of transporting goods from East Africa, the people in the states adjacent to Sudan will greatly benefit from soft border and trade with Sudan. In fact the flow of goods from Sudan will greatly improve the living conditions of the people along the border with Sudan and this will positively affect the prices of goods imported from East Africa. Also most South Sudanese who lived in Sudan have acquired properties and houses in all the major towns of Sudan. In Khartoum alone, there are not less than 170,000 houses and plots belonging to the people of the South. Equally, the large number of South Sudanese students who enrolled in various universities in Sudan will be able to continue with their education.
On border security arrangements, it is good that Khartoum has eventually accepted the AU map for safe demilitarization border zone as this will improve security along the border and build trust. The exemption of the "14 miles" border section to be entirely demilitarized and coupled with lack of agreement on the disputed and claimed border areas have created resentment among the people of the South, particularly the people Malual Dinka. This is further exacerbated when Sudan dragged the Rizigat Arab nomads into the border politics as their leaders in Addis Ababa claimed their ownership of "14 miles". Governor Paul Malong and leaders of Malual Dinka have managed over years even during war to build good relations with Rizigat Arab nomads and ensured access of their cattle to water and pastures in their state beyond "14 miles" area which has been under their administration.
By involving the Rizigat Arab nomads in the politics of border as it was done in Abyei for Misseriya Arab nomads, the Rizigat Arab nomads may find it difficult in the next dry season to get the same treatment from their friends in Awiel. However, the people of Awiel know very well that President Salva will be the last person to betray them not only because they are the strongest political base of the SPLM but also as people who exceptionally contributed immensely during the liberation struggle. One expects that our government to explain to the people of Awiel its commitment to "14 miles" as territory of the South and as one of the disputed areas it can only be settled through international arbitration. Meanwhile the demilitarization of the "14 miles" is to be explained as a temporary arrangement that does not imply in any way the ownership of the area by Sudan.
Given the fact that the final status of Abyei and the issue of disputed areas including "14 miles" border and the claimed areas including Panthou are not yet resolved, one would expect that our parliament will conditionally ratify these agreements subject to the resolution of these two critical issues. Alternatively, our parliament may ratify these agreements after the meeting of the AU Peace and Security Council scheduled on 21st October that will endorse the proposals of the AU Panel on the final status of Abyei and the disputed and claimed border areas. It is only when the final status of Abyei and the issue of disputed and claimed areas are resolved, then there would a comprehensive agreement, a position maintained by the South and the AU Panel. Without resolving the final status of Abyei and the disputed and claimed areas, the implementation of these agreements will extremely be fragile and the two countries may risk the renewal of a large scale war.

AT&T Center, San Antonio, TX
SAN ANTONIO -- Every offensive set and defensive plan seemed to work flawlessly Saturday night for the San Antonio Spurs against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
San Antonio had a season-high 16 3-pointers, never trailing in rolling past Cleveland 126-96 for its 10th straight victory.
The only time the game didn't go fluidly for the Spurs was when Matt Bonner attempted to hand the ball to Tony Parker after ripping a rebound away from San Antonio's point guard during the second quarter.
Parker put his hands up and shook his head, playfully making Bonner bring the ball upcourt. Bonner took full advantage, calling an isolation play for himself before Parker reclaimed his job at midcourt.
"(Bonner) likes to mess with me once in a while," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said, smiling. "Matty will never get a call for (an isolation or) anything ever while I'm here."
San Antonio didn't need to try anything new, anyway, not since everything in its usual repertoire went so well.
"Good, old-fashioned behind kicking," Cleveland coach Mike Brown said. "We got our behinds kicked. We didn't do anything well. The only positive I think that we got out of it is that we got to see how to play the game of basketball the right way."
Danny Green had 17 points, Patty Mills had 15 points and Parker added 12 points. Tiago Splitter and Marco Belinelli each had 10 points for San Antonio (12-1), which matched the best start in franchise history while handing Cleveland (4-10) its worst loss this season.
Andrew Bynum had 16 points, Kyrie Irving added 15 points, Matthew Dellavedova had 14 points and Dion Waiters 11 for Cleveland (4-10). Anthony Bennett, the top overall draft pick, had a season-high nine points.
All of San Antonio's 13 players scored at least six points, giving its starters a needed rest after playing Friday night in Memphis.
The Spurs were 16 for 24 on 3s while remaining undefeated at home.
"We did a great job moving the ball," Bonner said. "We shot the 3 great tonight. We don't really play any individual basketball. We don't care who scores; no one's trying to get their stats. It's about getting the best shot we can."
After Cleveland shot 22 percent from the field in the second quarter, San Antonio began to empty its bench midway through the third.
Following Tyler Zeller's layup with 5:48 left in the second quarter, the Cavaliers did not score again until Bynum's layup with 37.4 seconds remaining. They finished with 11 points in the quarter.
"(Cleveland) is not as bad as it seemed tonight and we're not as good as it seemed," Popovich said. "We just had one of those nights in the positive direction and they had one in the other. They're a young team and we got them on a bad night."
San Antonio took a 35-point lead during Cleveland's offensive drought. Parker had four points and an assist during the run, with his two free throws putting the Spurs up 63-28 with 53.3 seconds left.
Parker finished with seven assists in 15 minutes, but nearly lost one of them to Bonner when the two got entangled going for a rebound.
"We both kind of had the ball," Bonner said. "It's rare when I actually get a rebound. I called an iso (isolation) for me. I would have dribbled through everybody and dunked it. But unfortunately, Tony came back and got the ball."
San Antonio still managed to score a season-high 65 points in the first half, surpassing its previous high of 57 against Philadelphia with 2:22 remaining in the second quarter.
The Spurs were 5 for 8 on 3-pointers in the first quarter, with Green and Bonner hitting consecutive 3s to give San Antonio its first double-digit lead at 27-17 with 2 minutes left.
Cleveland was never able to recover from the early run, losing its third straight.
"Just the way we came out, including myself, just the energy, or lack of," Irving said.
"Also, they're a great team. They're coming off I don't know how many wins in a row. Coming into their house, playing against a good San Antonio team, you got to bring it for the full 48 (minutes). Starting off the game, they got into a good comfortable rhythm and we just couldn't stop them."
The Spurs targeted Bynum defensively early, but with Splitter and not the more prolific Tim Duncan. Splitter hit consecutive baskets against the Cavaliers' big man, including faking left and right before tossing in a hook shot.
Game notes
San Antonio matched the 12-1 start of the 2010-2011 season. ... San Antonio F Tim Duncan played in his 1,400th career game, including the playoffs. ... Spurs F Boris Diaw was a late scratch, sitting out with a bruised right rib he suffered against Memphis on Friday night. ... Cavaliers G Jarrett Jack left with an injured neck with 2 minutes left in the third quarter after driving the top of his head into Cory Joseph's hip while trying to create space. ... Parker shared a long hug and cheerful conversation with Brown, a former Spurs assistant who was with the team during the 2003 NBA championship. ... Cavaliers G C.J. Miles (right calf strain) missed his second straight game after playing in the team's first dozen, including three starts.

Am brewing Midwest Irish Red Ale, and the instructions are to add LME after steeping grains, then bring to boil and add hops. This is different than my other beers that recommended bringing to a boil after steeping, remove from heat and add LME/DME. Any reason for the difference?
You can do it both ways but the reasoning behind removing from heat when adding the LME/DME is to avoid scorching.
I understand the scorching prevention, but the thing that puzzled me was the previous recipes you steeped, then brought to boil, pulled off burner and stirred in the LME/DME. This one had me add LME after steeping, THEN bring to a boil.
It may have something to do with color. I don't think it would be a problem either way you do it. My suggestion is to do what has worked for you in the past.
