Ferry Tries to Make Buck Between Maine and Nova Scotia
Service Has Returned After a Hiatus, but Questions Remain About the Business Model
PORTLAND, Maine—About 430 passengers lined up on a recent evening for a new ferry to Nova Scotia, where Maine couple Sam and Ruth Mack planned to spend eight days driving around the Canadian province.
"We'll leave a little money up there by the time we get through," said Mr. Mack, an 84-year-old retired postal worker. "We're going to take the whole tour."
Starting in the 1950s, American travelers were able to ferry across the Gulf of Maine to explore the quiet, often-rugged pleasures of Nova Scotia. While the ride wasn't necessarily shorter than driving, it was an appealing alternative to a monotonous car trip. But all ferry service ended five years ago amid the economic downturn.
This year, service between Portland, Maine's largest city, and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, has returned, delighting some tourists and businesses. Still, there are questions about whether the business, which is off to a slow start, can sustain itself.
In May, the privately run 528-foot Nova Star began making a once-daily round trip that takes 10 hours each way. The early passenger numbers disappointed—averaging about 112 riders on each leg of the trip in June, roughly 10% of the boat's capacity. Burdened by heavy startup costs, the operators quickly tapped a 21 million Canadian dollar (US$19.3 million) loan from Nova Scotia that was intended to stretch seven years.
The company, Nova Star Cruises, was supposed to get C$12 million up front. But it needed another C$7 million to cover a required bond in the U.S. and a yet-to-materialize line of credit in Maine. The company used the remaining funds to cover expenses, such as a roughly US$39,000 daily fuel bill.
Mark Amundsen, chief executive of Nova Star Cruises, acknowledged the low passenger numbers but said business has picked up with better weather. He declined to detail company finances and said Nova Star wasn't facing near-term danger.
The new ferry, leased from a business partner in Singapore, is as much cruise ship as car hauler. It has 162 cabins, three restaurants, a spa and a 70 slot-machine casino that operates in international waters. It can carry more than 300 vehicles, including tractor trailers, which Mr. Amundsen is trying to lure to supplement passenger revenue.
Ted Hyneck and Claire Burns, who split their time between Colorado and Connecticut, took a recent trip to Canada with their car for a five-day vacation. Mr. Hyneck, 73, said they never would have gone if they had to drive there. "Somebody else is doing the driving overnight, you wake up in the morning, and you're in Nova Scotia," he said.
The cross-border nautical ties began fraying a decade ago when a ferry quit the Portland-Yarmouth route amid declining ridership and complaints about an old Portland ferry terminal that has since been replaced. A high-speed catamaran that linked Bar Harbor, Maine, and Nova Scotia added a Portland leg to pick up slack, but a mix of factors, including the recession, further eroded traffic.
All ferry service finally stopped in 2009 after the Nova Scotia government canceled subsidies for the catamaran. But the province absorbed an economic hit as a result, officials said, especially in Yarmouth, a port town of about 7,200. The local chamber of commerce estimates the community lost almost 13% of its businesses between 2009 and 2014, including a department store and waterfront hotel.
"Yarmouth was lost without the boat," said Esther Dares, who runs the Harbour's Edge Bed & Breakfast with her husband. They struggled to fill rooms in peak summer months.
Business is much improved, she said. And there is already talk in Nova Scotia of putting up more money to make sure it stays that way. The current loan will be forgiven over time if the ferry keeps running.
"We knew year one was going to be a challenge," said Michel Samson, Nova Scotia's Minister of Economic and Rural Development and Tourism.

'Mission Impossible 4' not a dream: Tom Cruise will appear as Ethan Hunt again
"Never say never again" appears to be the motto for Paramount Pictures and Tom Cruise.
After their famous breakup after Cruise's bizarre celebrity antics during the press tour for "Mission Impossible 3" the studio (and Viacom too) swore off the aging superstar an let him plant at United Artists (and that hasn't been the biggest success story). Rumors had already leaked that J.J. Abrams, the director of the third installment, and Cruise were considering reuniting to produce a fourth Ethan Hunt movie, but today those grumblings became reality. Variety reports Paramount has brought on former "Alias" co-executive producers Josh Applebaum and Andrew Nemec to write the screenplay for "MI4."
The script will be based on a storyline developed by the duo and Abrams. The more intriguing news is that its been confirmed by the trade that Cruise's character, Ethan Hunt, will be involved "onscreen in some capacity" in the new movie. That means Cruise will return to the billion-dollar "Mission Impossible" franchise and star in a Paramount Pictures release under the same studio chief, Brad Grey, who dramatically let him go only a few years ago.
This is crazy Hollywood history folks.
It's unclear what lead to this change, but one has to assume Abrams influence as a hit maker for the studio after producing "Cloverfield" and directing "Star Trek" must have been involved at some level.
Applebaum and Nemec have a new series on ABC this fall, "Happy Town," and previously spearheaded "October Road" and "Life on Mars."
No word on when the studio plans to move forward with "Mission Impossible 4" or who will direct. Cruise's next picture will be the untitled James Mangold romantic comedy he's shooting this fall for Fox. Abrams is developing a "Star Trek" sequel, but has not committed to direct it at this time.

The materials presented were outstanding. Students responded favorably to the information and the way it was presented. Ruth is a delightful soul, she loves what she does and is a people person. I especially appreciate her positive approach to nurturing children.

I read what you posted this morning and feel that it would be perfect to use during one of my 4th grade Leadership Team meetings at my school. Though I am "officially" a kindergarten teacher, I started the team 3 years ago because I felt the need for the diverse student population in my school to be taught leadership skills at a younger age. Thanks for your email!
Thank you so much for your own leadership skills, which I am sure will be an inspiration to the students you serve! Please contact me personally at: firstname.lastname@example.com to receive the Art Book download I promised you!

As a member of the board, I can personally say I've never met anyone as dedicated to a cause as Ruth Elliot. She has given so much of her own time and money to this project, one that she believes in wholeheartedly. EDU Designs is a personal project spawned from her desire to help the children of the world. While highly ambitious, she has never faltered, and I have nothing but respect for her and her organization.
Each person makes a difference. Your help is invaluable! Thank you for your 'Vote of confidence!' :)
As a master life coach and parenting mentor I love to refer my Super Moms Coaching tribe to EDU DESIGNS! It's so important for parents to spell out clearly what they expect from their children and REWARD them for their obedience. EDU DESIGNS have engaging chore charts ready made with built-in incentives. Excellent resource for parents!
Thanks so MUCH for referring other moms to our resources! I appreciate you! Blessings, Ruth

I am a Cognitive Therapist and work with children and teens having ODD, CD, AD/HD coupled with emotional problems. The behavior charts Ruth offers work marvelously in maintaining the objectives and reaching the goals of children.
Thank you Ruth for all your work.
Thank you so much Safa! I appreciate all you are doing for kids, and so glad my behavior charts are helping! Best, Ruth

As a Special Education Teacher (SDC-high school), I was deeply impressed with how Ruth was able to actively engage my students with art projects and music. The lessons were valuable, fun, and rewarding for the students. I strongly strongly recommend Ruth for art lessons, art books, or anything related to this. If she can actively engage approximately 20 students with severe developmental delays, low attention spans, and difficulties with holding pencils for over 90 minutes, I cannot help but wonder how much other populations would love this!!! Highest recommendation!!!!!
Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to share with your students. It was a joy to see how much they got involved in the lessons and had fun, too! You are doing a great service to the world. I applaud you, as well!

Cassandra Smith at Sky High Gallery
One of the things that's hard not to miss about artist Cassandra Smith is the way she gravitates toward what are often considered decidedly male things. From animal pelts, nautical rope, axes, deer antlers and taxidermied game, she is at home with the raw materials of man caves everywhere.
But Smith imposes pretty paints, sequins and a design sensibility to transform these found objects into something other than what they were. Through direct application of color and pattern, she creates a tension between natural and organic forms and hard-edged geometries. She alters her materials while honoring the qualities that drew her to them in the first place, she says in her artist statement. »Read Full Blog Post

Teaser screen!
A little teaser of a previously unrevealed city, Shrent. You wouldn't believe how long it took me to get this city's look right, I went through five different versions and none of them looked good, even Wind Gale (the mapper) couldn't get it right. So finally, it's finished and ready for the demo in a couple of weeks.
Two things to be noted in this screen; the first is the water, it's now a green blue colour instead of just blue. I posted this on deviantART and it's 50/50 blue/green. What do you think?
@Alpog: RMXP is a massively more advanced system for game developing than hacking half a decade old games will ever be. For a start, you have practically no data restrictions. You can have any resolution you want, custom scripts like a dual screen, 3d or real time battles. And,
at least in the final version,
the game will have battle animations. I don't really understand how you "extremely dislike this game maker", when you seemingly know nothing about it.
@brokenxnote: I knew this would happen, I should have just made the big 6/7/10 in words. Although it does say that in the first sentence below. They just want to do everything the opposite of the UK xD
@shadowtogepi: Haha, it's a late birthday present!
@Insane85: Yep. Thank you.
@jim42: Thanks. The trees are blue due to a special event; I won't spoil it though, you'll just have to play the demo! Long live XENOTIME xD
@Pichichu: Hey. You should join, it's really good. We actually started a competition a few months ago for a person to guess where it is. The winner would get their own side quest. Go back a few pages to see how it turned out. And it's not Sussex or Essex.
@uskelly: Thank you. The lava 'mon side quest is going to be like none before in the main games.
@Le Creep!: Now now, that's pretty close to swearing. I am too, I'll send you a VM on the sixth to remind you.
@venom12: Thanks, it's really getting its momentum up. Thanks agaiin, good luck wih your game too!
@phosphate5: Only two weeks to wait now.
@Starrmyt: Good, it's going to schedule so not long now.
@pokewebsites: How could you spend that long, it clearly says the sixth of july in the first sentence, and my location says Great Britain.
@pikarich: I can't, it's going to be released on the one year anniversary of when the project started. You mean to say: If only we'd started a day later xD
@tylerab01: Oh cool, you got the quarter a thousand post. And you posted that a few seconds before the update, strange xD

I just found out that my sister in law lost her baby, she was about 11 weeks along. She woke up bleeding and then they went to the doctor they did an ultrasound and couldn't find the heartbeat. I will be 30 weeks tomorrow and I couldn't imagine losing this baby. I just don't even know what to say to my brother and sister in law. My 5 year old niece doesn't understand whats going on.
Does anyone have any idea on how to handle this?

A man convicted of aggravated assault and aggravated battery in the June 2011 death of Jerome Walden will have his case heard before the Georgia Supreme Court.
According to officials with the Georgia Supreme Court, 34-year-old Tracy Lashawn Smith was indicted along with Calvin Brooks and Demarcus Lewis for felony murder, aggravated assault and aggravated battery for the beating death of Jerome Walden.
Smith was convicted on aggravated assault and aggravated battery, but the jury was hung on the felony case according to the official.
Smith's attorney James Finkelstein put forth the argument that by retrying Smith for the murder charge, the double jeopardy clause of the Fifth Amendment is being violated.
The Georgia Supreme Court will hear the case on January 8th.
The full facts and arguments of the case as released by the Georgia Supreme Court can be read below:
Tracy Lashawn Smith was indicted along with two co-defendants for felony murder, aggravated assault and aggravated battery for the beating death of Jerome Walden. According to the state's case against him, on June 24, 2011, Albany police responded to an emergency call regarding a fight in progress in Albany. Responding officers found Walden lying on the ground unresponsive with swollen eyes and blood flowing from his mouth. He died later from his wounds. The state's witnesses testified that earlier in the day Walden, a drug abuser, had disrespected Smith, a drug dealer, regarding a drug debt. Smith had sold Walden $30 of crack cocaine but Walden hadn't paid him. Walden bested Smith in a fist fight over the debt, the state claimed, and Smith became incensed that a drug abusing "client" had insulted him by engaging in a fight. Smith returned later in the day with the two co-defendants and waited for Walden to come outside. When he did, a witness said she saw Smith and the others beating Walden before they fled the scene in a white pick-up truck. The witness gave police the street names of two of the men she said she saw beating Walden: "Wocka-Flocka" and "Short." Short is what Smith is called. Eventually, Smith and the other two were arrested for Walden's murder.
In December 2011, Smith was tried separately before a jury. During the trial, the judge allowed the state to introduce "similar transaction evidence," which included a 1999 conviction for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and a prior conviction for simple battery involving an altercation with his girlfriend. On Dec. 20, 2011, the jury found Smith guilty of aggravated assault and aggravated battery, but the jury was hung on the felony murder charge, and the judge declared a mistrial on that count. The state then announced its intention to retry Smith for felony murder. Prior to a retrial, however, Smith filed a plea based on double jeopardy grounds. The trial court denied Smith's "plea of former jeopardy," and Smith now appeals to the state Supreme Court.
Smith's attorney argues the trial court erred in denying his plea of former jeopardy. "The State seeks to retry this Appellant for felony murder, but under the United States Supreme court's binding precedent interpreting the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendmentâ|that retrial is barred," the attorney argues in briefs. "The State cannot retry Appellant for felony murder without retrying Appellant and proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt on either or both underlying counts in the indictment." And Smith already has been prosecuted for those underlying counts â" aggravated assault and aggravated battery â" which are the lesser included offenses required to prove felony murder. In its 1969 decision in North Carolina v. Pearce, the U.S. Supreme Court stated: "The Double Jeopardy Clause protects against a second prosecution for the same offense after acquittal." It also stated: "It protects against a second prosecution for the same offense after conviction." "The key point is that the word is not 'conviction,' but 'prosecution,'" Smith's attorney argues. "In other words, a second trial prosecuting the accused for the same crime violates Double Jeopardyâ|." The attorney argues that the U.S. Supreme Court also noted that "where an accused is convicted of a lesser included offense, but not convicted on the greater, double jeopardy principles apply." Also, under its 2010 decision in Williams v. State, the "Supreme Court of Georgia has held that where an accused was convicted of a lesser included offense, but no guilty verdict was returned on the greater offense, a retrial on the greater offense is barred, even where the lesser included offense is set aside on appeal and will be retried," Smith's attorney argues. If the case is remanded for a retrial, however, the state should not be permitted to admit the similar transaction evidence it did in the first trial. The trial court erred in allowing in a 1999 drug conviction and a 2001 misdemeanor domestic simple battery charge. "Appellant was not charged with a crime involving drugs," his attorney argues. "Appellant was not charged with a crime involving domestic violence. In no way was either prior conviction 'similar' to the charges Appellant was facing." "The State is not permitted to introduce similar transaction evidence 'to show a propensity to commit criminal acts in general or a certain type crime in particular,'" Smith's attorney argues. Introducing evidence of unrelated independent crimes to put Smith's character at issue is a violation of his constitutional right to due process.
The state argues the trial court did not err in denying Smith's plea to bar a retrial. "Based upon current case law the retrial of Appellant for felony murder will not violate double jeopardy protections," the district attorney argues in briefs. In its 1996 decision in Rower v. State, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that where "the State seeks to prosecute a defendant for two offenses in a single prosecution, one of which is included in the other, and the defendant receives a mistrial on the greater offense, the remaining conviction of the lesser offense does not bar retrial of the greater offense." The facts of Rower's case are nearly identical to the facts of Smith's case, the state argues. "The case law from around the country is completely in line with this principle that a retrial on a greater, inclusive offense, following a declaration of mistrial because of a hung jury, is not barred by double jeopardy principles notwithstanding the fact that a guilty verdict was accepted and a sentence imposed with respect to a lesser, included offense," the state contends, quoting the Rower decision. The trial court also did not err in admitting evidence of Smith's two prior crimes. "The similar act of possession of cocaine was admissible to show Appellant's motive for committing the offenses charged, and the similar act of simple battery was admitted to show Appellant's course of conduct in resolving his disputes," the state argues. Furthermore, the court held a hearing before admitting the similar transaction evidence and the court did not abuse its discretion in admitting it.

Guys streak across the field, as they play a game of 7-on-7 two-hand-touch football. The game easily could be in someone's backyard at a summer barbeque – laughter is reverberating across the field and there are roars of delight when someone makes a particularly impressive catch.

Lately I have been confronted by several people who have asked me how I feel about hell.
It is a very sobering thought to realize that hell is real and not everyone will go to Heaven.
But the word of God makes it clear that hell is just as real as Heaven.
Many believe a loving God would not send anyone to hell. Let me point out two things that you may not have thought of.

Have you ever been lonely, even in a crowd? Your loneliness may even be more intense around other people. They are all laughing and talking and enjoying each other's company, while you stand watching, not knowing a soul. But then someone steps up to you and begins a conversation. The whole world takes on a more pleasant character.
"And you he made alive, when you were dead through the trespasses and sins in which you once you walked, following the course of this world . . ." (See Ephesians 2:1-7).
Most good biographies, whether describing a statesman, a celebrity, an athlete, or a missionary, follow a basic pattern. There is a description of the individual's past, an investigation of the individual's position, and a declaration of the individual's purpose in life.
Paul offers a description of the Christian's past.

Dymocks' annual list of the 101 best books as voted by the Australian public is out
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- May 05, 2012
- Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games trilogy in first place
- List had more than 40 new entries this year
- Rise in the number of non-fiction books
THEY are, say more than 15,000 Australians, the best books of all time.
Win all 101 books on the list by entering our competition
Book retailer Dymocks' annual list of the top 101 books as voted by the Australian public is a mix of timeless classics and more recent smash hits.
With Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games trilogy in first place and plenty of other recent releases making it on to the list, it's clear that books published in the past few years have a distinct advantage when it comes time to vote.
"Generally the top title is what is out there in the market at the moment," Dymocks national buying manager Sharyn Villaverde said.
"We ask them what their top books of all time are but what they've read most recently often comes to mind first."
This year's list had more than 40 new entries, starting with US fantasy author Christopher Paolini's four-volume The Inheritance Cycle at sixth place.
But some titles -- JRR Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings trilogy, Pride And Prejudice, The Power Of One, The Bible -- remain favourites year in, year out.
After its success at the Australian box office, Red Dog -- the book on which the film was based -- made it on the list at No. 24, while Christopher Tsiolkas' The Slap was No. 44 after the ABC's highly acclaimed television adaptation.
A total of 18 Australian books were on the list, starting at Markus Zusak's award-winning The Book Thief at No. 4.
Ms Villaverde said it was interesting to see a rise in the number of non-fiction books, including Anh Do's autobiography The Happiest Refugee.
Non-fiction books are about half all book sales but most are genre-specific such as cooking books or self-help titles.
Adult fiction titles make up about 25 per cent of sales and children's books the remaining 25 per cent. "Young adult novels are far and away the strongest category in terms of growth at the moment and that's due to the likes of The Hunger Games," Ms Villaverde said.
"I think there are more young people reading as a whole, but that's also due to the quality of what is being published."
Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show 73 per cent of women consider reading a favourite activity, compared with 50 per cent of men.
Newcastle administration assistant Hannah Barrett, 22, (pictured left) is one of more than 60 per cent who favour reading.
"I only read one book every three months but once I get started I usually get through it in a day," Ms Barrett said.
"Once I get into the good parts I can't put it down but it takes a while to get started."

Within this short time period you will touch millions of people! You will deal with lost gifts in the lost baggage. You will deal with misconnects whose christmas "your airline has ruined" and you will be the lucky ones who get to hear about it! You will deal with people who visit the airport twice a year and think they still have time for another beer! You will have to skip lunches/dinners/breaks and be on your feet 8-10-12 hours to help out your co-workers who are new or shorthanded! You will encounter people who would like to check in a Tire (not the greatest X mas present by the way) as their luggage and carry on Chainsaw with a tank full of gasoline. You will make final calls that everyone who missed the flight will claim to not have heard. You will deal with oversold flights and find out from the people left behind "this is no way to run a business". And 10 minutes before boarding time when you thaught EVERYTHING was going great one of the flight attendents will come back up from the jetway and tell you they overheard the pilot and mechanics talking and this plane may not be going anywhere..I am sure I have missed out on alot of the other fun things that go on at the airport.
Marry Christmas and a Very Happy new year to all of you guys!!

1,000 Bible verses
Each from 4 Versions of the Bible: ESV, KJV, NASB, NIV
120 Topics
Add your own verses
No opinions, just verses
No adds
The primary purpose of this application is to give users tools to help with scripture memorization. The current version has a word removal tool, flashcard tool, audio record & playback functions, search function and the ability for users to add their own verses.
The secondary purpose is to provide organization tools of verses to help users find verses to memorize, or just to discover what the Bible has to say about particular topics. Verses can be reviewed in Bible order, by Topic, or by verse rank( 1 - 200) using the Top 200 system which lists the top 200 verses searched for on the internet.
What's New in Version 2.5.0
- Option on Settings page to synch audio files between devices using iCloud
- Bug fixes

Customer Reviews
Good Memorization Tool, Flexible Verse List
I love the premise of this app and the fill-in-the-blank mechanism it provides. It defaults to the KJ version of the verses, but there are 3 additional versions available via the in-app settings. The various versions are not immediately apparent from the flashcard view, but the version can be adjusted from the main menu. The mechanism for adding verses is also not accessible from verse list section, but can also be accessed via the main menu. I love the flexibility of adding my own verses I'd like to memorize.
Wonderful app for scripture memory!
I love this app for memorizing Bible verses! It's my favorite one I've tried. There are options to add your own verses, fill in the blank when you are memorizing, even recording it on audio. It was really neat to have my daughter record verses for me and hear her sweet voice reading the Word. I also like that there are topic headings I can go to if I am struggling with something. Thanks for making this app!
Great app, 1 glitch
Great app for reviewing scriptures you want to memorize. Major issue when you want to edit a verse you already have saved, app does not save correct address, you have to re-assign the address. Not a problem in one of the shorter books, but when you're dealing with larger books, it's pretty annoying (especially Psalms, in the high 100's). Have never had any issues with crashing, sorry for those who are.

What are the advantages of candles over bar charts and line charts?
What are the advantages of candles over bar charts and line charts?
Here are a few bullet points regarding candle stick advantages vs. bar charts:
1. Easy to understand:
Anyone, from the first-time chartist to the seasoned professional can easily harness the power of candle charts. This is because, the same data required to draw a bar chart (high, low, open and close) is used for a candle chart.
2. Provide earlier indications of market turns:
Candle charts can send out reversal signals in a few sessions, rather than the weeks often needed for a bar chart reversal signal. Thus, market turns with candle charts will frequently be in advance of traditional indicators. This will help you to enter and exit the market with better timing.
3. Furnish unique market insights:
Candle charts not only show the trend of the move, as does a bar chart, but, unlike bar charts, candle charts also show the force underpinning the move.
4. Enhance Western charting analysis:
Any Western technical tool you now use can also be used on a candle chart. Candle charts, however, will give you timing and trading benefits not available with bar charts. This merging of Eastern and Western analysis will give you a jump on those who use only traditional Western charting techniques.
hope this help.
I found that learning the candlestick patterns gave me some insight and understanding into what I was looking at on the charts. When you get into Harami's, spinning tops, etc. and know what they could be saying you begin to get a feel for how the market behaves, the 'intuition' that millionaire traders must have.
I might be wrong, but this took me a long way towards 'reading' charts instead of watching whether the price was going up or down.
ramrocket pretty much said everything i would have said.
1) candlesticks are easy to follow and learn for anyone. it does provide a bit more info then other charts but its still simple to understand
2) there are so many patterns and candlestick formations that really help in early signs of a reversal. this is so powerful if you know how to use them properly.
3) you can see the trading range in that particular session.
4) lines usually only capture closes. bars only caputres highs, lows, opens and closes but candlessticks captures all these things including filling in opens and closes so that you can actually see the true direction of the candle sticks. its one thing to see a stick bouncing upwards into an obviouse trend but when you can also see all the candle sticks showing a positive color its just more prominent and easyier to stop.
when i first started trading i learned with candle sticks. even as a bigginer i found them easier to understand then a line graph.
I've read Steve Nison's Japanese Candlestick Charting techniques 2nd edition and it is definately one of my favorite books on using candlesticks combined with western technical analasis. I always carry it around with me just as a reference.
They both show EXACTLY the same information, and analysis undertaken on that information will be identical, its ludicrous to suggest otherwise.
Your comments are as ridiculous as claiming that displaying charts in bright purple would somehow provides an advantage over any other color. Candle's are only a representation, and a pretty useless one at that.
Where do people get these ridiculous ideas from that bar charts and candles are different ? and just how dumb would someone have to be not to realise that they're looking at exactly the same information ?
When is a close of a candle.Is it the top of the wick or is it top of the body
Similarly what do you mean by saying the candle is open
Any candle is bound to deposit some of its hot liquid on your table or tablecloth. Cleaning the deposits of soy candles is much easier than paraffin or beeswax candles. Soap and hot water are usually enough to remove any spots left by the candle.

ONE RECENT MORNING, A WELLHEELED, middle-aged stranger turned to Bob Berkowitz on a New York City subway train, pointed to a pair of attractive young women and said, "See those twins? That's my sexual fantasy." What do you reply to a conversational gambit like that? Berkowitz, 44, just said, "Well, they're very pretty."
Such encounters go with the territory when you're the host of CNBC's Real Personal, a live call-in TV show that features guests ranging from swingers and hookers to married couples and sex therapists, all discussing once-taboo topics such as orgasms, vibrators, oral sex and S&M. Which may help explain why Real Personal has become real popular. (More than 500,000 viewers tune in seven nights a week, making it CNBC's top-rated series.) But Beavis and Butt-head wouldn't think...it was heh-heh...cool. "We talk about sex the way adults should," says Berkowitz, "without being salacious, voyeuristic or adolescent about it."
Disdaining the "verbal food fights" that he says characterize such daytime fare as The Montel Williams Show and The Ricki Lake Show, Berkowitz eschews a studio audience, which he believes can be too judgmental. "I don't know how anyone is still having sex after watching these shows," Berkowitz says.
"A lot of people could do a show like Real Personal and take a smarmy or snide approach," adds Berkowitz's CNBC colleague Tom Snyder (soon to depart for CBS). "But Bob really sees himself as a journalist trying to elicit information."
In fact that's what he is. Berkowitz's résumé includes reporting stints for CNN, ABC and NBC. But on Real Personal, sometimes the guests can get, well, too personal—like the dominatrix whose slave was so nervous on-cam-era "she had to slap him a couple of times," says Berkowitz. "The guy calmed down, but my eyes bugged out." Or the executive secretary who, while telling how she liked to have sex with the blinds open, suddenly showed the host, à la Sharon Stone, that she wasn't wearing panties. "Fortunately the cameraman shot her waist-high," says the host, who coolly steered the talk to his guest's pre-interview disclosure that she had been sexually abused as a child. "I asked her," says Berkowitz, "if she thought that her exhibitionism was a way to regain power—a way to say, in effect, 'You can look, but you can't touch.' "
Berkowitz credits his clinical objectivity to his parents. His father, Dr. Bernard Berkowitz, his late mother, Gertrude, and his stepmother, Mildred Newman, were all psychologists. Indeed, his father and Dr. Newman coauthored the 1971 best-seller How to Be Your Own Best Friend. "They are often called the grandpa and grandma of the self-help movement," Berkowitz says proudly. "Their book is a classic that still holds up."
Berkowitz grew up in Great Neck, N.Y., with his older brother Bill, now a computer programmer; he himself went on to major in speech communications and minor in psychology at the University of Denver. Graduating in 1972, Berkowitz eventually landed a job with the Associated Press Radio Network in San Francisco. There he met a UPI radio reporter, Merrilee Cox, and wed the competition three years later.
A handsome six-footer, Berkowitz segued smoothly into TV He was CNN's man at the White House during President Reagan's first term and in 1982 moved to New York City as an ABC News correspondent. Three years later he was home watching a Today show segment called "Today's Woman." "Suddenly," he says, "I had an epiphany. Why wasn't anyone doing anything about today's man?" Berkowitz soon convinced Today's producers he was the man for that job, and for the next three years he presented a male perspective on issues such as birth control, rape and abortion. In 1992, CNBC wanted to know if Berkowitz (then hosting a political talk show) would tackle Real Personal. "It's grammatically incorrect," he remembers thinking, "but it's a job."
Separated since last fall from Merrilee, Berkowitz lives alone in an antique-filled, two-bedroom loft in Soho and dates regularly, though never—so far—any of the women who write him each week. Someday, he says, he'd like to remarry and have kids. Some women, he says with a chuckle, are intrigued by what he does for a living; others, unfortunately, "are intimidated by the fact that I do a sex show."
Not that they should be. Despite his televised expeditions to the frontiers of lust, Berkowitz is strictly an observer, not some raunchy fellow traveler. "When it comes to sex," he says, "I am middle of the road."

Adventures in Spaying
This video is pretty cute. It's an award-winning PSA that a PETA member gave us to help encourage people to get their pets spayed or neutered. I'm not entirely sure where the narrator's odd accent is from, but I feel like it adds to the overall effect.
On a vaguely related note, when I first got Princess Cuteyface (she just came in through my window one day), the vet told me that she was at least a few months pregnant. This freaked me out because it was already kind of a big step for me to be committing in the first place, and, I don't know, everything was just happening so fast. Fortunately for both of us, it was a false alarm—turns out she's just a very big girl. Plenty of Princess C to go round. Anyway, I have a new vet now.
Commenting is closed.
Cute ad. People do not seem to realize that if they do not spay or neuter their pets the end result for the babies could be tragic.Thanks to these kinds of videos more people might spay or neuter their pets.
Prncess Cuteyface is large and in charge! What a great PSA!
OMG!!! that is the cutest video!! btw princess cuteyface is adorable

Soups, Salads and Sandwiches
The name and space of Barbara Stratton's TriBeCa lunch counter might have changed, but the homey food—and its fervid fans—have remained the same.
"We have some great customers," said Ms. Stratton, including one woman who asked Cafe Clementine not to serve chocolate pudding during Lent. "Even though we're really busy we keep the customer in sight…otherwise it's not fun."
Previously known as Columbine, the shop changed its name and moved to a larger space next door earlier this year.
Clementine fare is a rotation of hearty soups, salads and sandwiches ($4.50-$6 for a half sandwich, $7.50-$9.50 for whole) with special sides like curried chicken salad and sesame green beans ($1-$5). There are more than 100 different soups ($5-$6.75), with vegetarian options offered each day. Menu items change daily, with specials posted on the cafe's website. Bread comes from Grandaisy Bakery up the street.
If you can't brave the lunch crush, stop by after 5 p.m. when most of the premade items are 50% off.
—Kimberly Chou
Cafe Clementine, 227 W. Broadway near White Street, is open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday; 212-965-0909. Soups are ready by 11 a.m.

Theatre Unchained fails to recapture magic of 'Fawlty Towers'
After two series involving 12 priceless episodes of "Fawlty Towers" — one of the great sitcoms of all time — authors John Cleese and Connie Booth called it quits, partly because they were concerned a third series could bring a falloff in quality.
Watching the patchy Theatre Unchained production on Saturday night of three "Fawlty" episodes — "The Germans," "The Kipper and the Corpse" and "Basil the Rat" — I found myself wishing it had followed Cleese and Booth's example. »Read Full Article(2)

There is no real difference in the lease vs buying a car question when it comes to insurance. Insurance companies are primarily concerned with your driving record and the type of vehicle you are insuring. Insurance rates are based on how safe of a driver you are and the amount they will have to pay out if you total your vehicle. It makes no difference to them if you have leased the car or purchased it. When leasing a vehicle, the leasing company will require that you carry full coverage on your vehicle. If you have taken out a car loan to purchase a vehicle, they too will require you to carry full coverage.

What motors to use on Top Flite DC-3
I've bought the Top flight DC-3 and want to fit it with E-flite brushless motors but don't know what size motors to use! It's a 10 lbs aircraft and recomended prop size is 10x6.
Can anyone tell me which E-flite motors to use? And How does the dual motor system work as far as power? Keep in mind that I want to slightly over power this airplane!
I have a suspicion that 10x6 is not actually a good prop size for this plane..at 10lb you need at least 500W total, so 4x125W - or some sort of speed 400 type outrunner - will be good BUT they won't want to turn 10" props..
Maybe a bunch of esskay 400XT's would come close enough,..might be able to drive a 9x7 three blader with those.
Dunno much about eflites but I'd go for something that will do about 12A on a 3s LIPO pack with the lowest KV you can find.
The DC3 is I think a rather heavy plane and needs plenty of pitch speed. This tends to equate to smaller props turning faster..I have a feeling it didn't fly that well on 'recommended' power trains..there is at least one old thread in the scale forum I think.
This post doesn't make a lot of sense. For starters, a DC3 is a twin so for 500 watts you'd need 2 motors at 250 watts so I'm not sure what the 4x125 has to do with it. Your recommendation of a motor that'll pull 12a on 3s would only give you ~130 watts per motor and 260 watts is not nearly enough to fly a 10 pound DC-3.
There's a very good thread about converting this kit here:
Thanks for pointing out the thread..my suspicion that 10x6's are no good still holds tho.
Need a pair of 250 watt motors..something like AXII 22 or 28 series..
An Axi 2820/10 or 12 would do the trick quite nicely. In my direct experience, I have had the /10, and it had no trouble swinging an 11x7 APC on 3s. That's about 300 watts in the air. The /12 will tolerate higher cell counts. It's basically a .25-.30 to the glow guys. There is also the 2826 series, which has the same size as the 2820, but it has thicker stronger 26mm curved magnets. On high (5s) cell counts this motor is capable of 800 watts. This motor is a drop in replacement for a .40-.45 glow. This is maybe overkill for your plane. Although it is fashionable to underpower twins, I like 60w/lb as a target better than 50. You don't want to discover that you're underpowered when you're running out of altitude, amps and ideas all at the same time.
BTW, there are some cheap chinese units at united hobby that would do it too, but AXI means quality. I think I sold my 2820 for $10 less than I paid for it, a year and a half later- it was literally as good as new.

Has any one tried flashing BenQ yet?
I haven't come across a BenQ yet to try it. Also are there much of these drive out there?
Sorry, re read the first post, you cannot dump/flash benq drives with this one, but if you have one (dumped with external programmer) you can open with toolbox and read keys, change them, spoof it, etc
I only have seen 2 boxes here in mexico with benq drives and both of them have manufacturing date of december 2006, I have seen like 15 xbox elite but all of them had 79 drive.

How would one go about using the new restore function for <58 versions (its not mentioned in the tutorial.txt or read.me)
Do I have to load my original firmware and then go to the menu: Tools-->Direct Drive Flash-->Differential Flash (RESTORE) or is there a way to restore without loading my original firmware? Like with the bat files?
From the readme file:
- Added: Option to Restore Original Firmwares based on any dump you have
What does 'based on any dump you have' mean?
