"Hooeey who?"
, you say? Well, should we just say it is a browsing history manager or should we say a bookmark manager or rather should we say it is a social network? Our first impression was it is Google Personal Search + del.icio.us + MySpace. We were so confounded that we did not know which category should this post go into!
Social Networks
or something new?
But hey didn't we also say "Hooeey is here to help us". So, here it is. Hear it in the master's own words.
About Hooeey
"The user's interaction with the web is changing - the web allows far more participation today through innovations such as RSS, blogs, podcasts, Wikis, etc. One area that has remained neglected is the user interaction with his or her browser history. Browser History has remained a simple list of links that extend back for a limited time and offers limited functionality. Browser history continues to be an isolated data island that is not easily accessible and susceptible to complete loss when browser settings are cleared routinely. The inherent value in the browser history is being completely under-utilized or worse, lost forever. A computer user has no easy way of searching or seeing information about his or her browsing habits over time.
Our startup, hooeey, de-links browser history from being the sole function of the browser's built-in history function. A browser toolbar installed from hooeey.com ensures that the user has access to multiple functions such as Record On/Off toggling, ability to tag pages, add reviews, do searches and view/edit history and tags off-line.
More importantly, hooeey.com allows registered users to upload their history and tags to a personal on-line account.This portal is the earliest instance of recognizing that browser history is a fundamental source of data that can be processed to provide valuable information to the user."
Interesting, isn't it? So, we hooked up with Hooeey's head honcho to know more about it. The rest follows.
1. What exactly does the word "hooeey" mean and what is your service about?
It's simply a catchy word and does not signify anything. The service is a combination of browser history tracking, tagging and social sharing. We'd like to say that the hooeey concept in its entirety is much greater than the sum of its individual parts.
2. Could you please share with us the motivation and the story behind its origin?
Simple - we got tired of losing track of sites visited in the past and not being able to access history across browsers, across machines and for more than 2 weeks at a time. hooeey was conceived before sites like del.icio.us and digg became public knowledge and the timing was purely coincidental.
3. Aren't there privacy concerns?
The concept of privacy in the Internet space is constantly being re-defined. As of now, no one knows exactly what privacy means. hooeey is very transparent to the users because the user has full awareness and control of the process. At hooeey, we give our users enough safeguards at different times within the process (stop Recording sites, Upload only selected links and tags, being able to keep all links private and so on) and we will continue to enhance this process.
4. How does hooeey compare with Google Personal Search?
Google Personal Search only retains history of searches performed in Google. It does not track every page you have visited, does not allow you to tag those pages, nor does it allow you to share them with friends/family and the public. Also, the history is only stored at the server level - there is no possibility to track this information in an off-line, client-centric mode (which is already under development in hooeey)
5. Whom is this service targeted at mostly?
hooeey is targeted at Internet users who want to be able to keep track of their history
without duplicating efforts, also share interesting URLs and tags/comments with friends/family/community or the public at large. There is no pre-requisite for users to be geeks to be able to use hooeey.
6. How is hooeey doing so far? How many users signed up? Is there a lot of interest in this service? How well was it received by the users?
At hooeey, we believe in the concept of user centered design. Hence, we have started a pilot program with friends and family and already, we have more registered users than the number of pilot users we invited. This clearly shows that hooeey has caught the imagination of our pilot users. In addition, the initial feedback we have received (from both professional designers/coders as well as casual tech users) has been that the idea is very powerful and that the user experience is both professional as well as pleasant.
7. Could you please share any significant achievements.
As one person who is very experienced in the field of startups said,
"What is remarkable about the hooeey beta is that it works ! You will be surprised at how many betas I have been invited to test which do not go even 0% of the distance that hooeey does. I am very excited about where you will take this concept"
8. Could you tell us more about yourself, your position & other key players/stake holders, if any? What were you all doing before starting this company & also your previous work experiences?
I was the Founder and Managing Director of CyberBazaar, India's first and largest conferencing company. After selling
CyberBazaar to WebEx, Inc.
, I was the Managing Director of WebEx India till mid-2005. I started hooeey about a year ago with a friend who is based in California. I have a B.S. in Industrial & Systems engineering from the University of Alabama and an M.S. in Industrial Engineering from Texas A&M University.
The second founder works as a Director for a large enterprise software provider in Palo Alto, CA. He has more than 10 years of professional experience in the US, South East Asia and India. He is an MBA from the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) and is an Electrical and Electronics Engineer from Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani.
9. By the way, is there any association between hooeey and WebEx?
10. How large is the team behind hooeey? Are you all based in India?
There are two co-founders and a team of three (two developers and a project lead). Only one co-founder is not based in Bangalore, currently.
11. How is your startup being funded so far? Did you receive any other external funding? If not, do you plan on seeking external funding?
hooeey has been funded by the founders. We have not raised any external funding. We will raise external funds at a later, more appropriate, stage.
12. Few of our readers indicated interest in learning how to go about taking an idea from concept to inception. So, could you please share with us your experiences.
Clearly, there is no one right way. The only way to do something is to actually do it. The belief in an idea and the passion to see it through will fuel an entrepreneur to focus, build a dedicated team, raise funding, build out the idea, evangelize the concept, get customers and dominate the space. My experience has beenthat if the idea "feels" right and you can get a team together based on nothing more than "the idea", it is worth pursuing it whole-heartedly.
13. What are the key technologies your product is built upon and why did you opt for them?
We are using a WIMP stack - Windows, IIS, MySQL and PHP. The reason we are using Windows/IIS is because some of our work is done on machines where this is the only combination available/permitted. The entire architecture is such that hooeey can be easily ported to a complete LAMP framework, if we feel the need.
14. Where do you plan to take hooeey going forward?
To every browser.
15. What is your business/revenue model or do you have an exit strategy on mind?
We are considering several options at this time on the business/revenue front. The exit strategy is not on our horizon yet--we are busy getting across hooeey's value proposition to users who need it.
16. What are some of the challenges in your business and how do you plan on tackling them?
Speed of execution is always going to be a challenge in an Internet-centric business. The real challenge is to build and convey the 'x-factor' in one's product that's crucial in differentiating one's product or service. hooeey's focus on people-centered design will help us meet these challenges.
17. In your experience, what has been the most effective way to market a business?
In my experience, the CyberBazaar team was able to communicate the value clearly to the right audience and also deliver the stated value. This helped us become the dominant player in this space. I think that any business that can do this can forge non-fungible ties with its user or customer base and become successful.
18. Also, what do you think would act as a catalyst to drive startups(especially in India) towards success?
The best catalyst for start-ups is to see the success of other Indian start-ups. That said, there isn't a way that success can be guaranteed.
19. What is your take on increasing number of startups in India?
There has been a upsurge in the number of people starting out on their own in the last two years. The number needs to grow even faster because for every ten people who have a good idea only two or three act on it. I see many stake-holders in the entrepreneurial ecosystem making welcome efforts to change this situation and it will certainly beneficial to the future entrepreneurs of India.
20. On a personal front, who is your role model?
I admire some distinct traits in people I've come across or in people I've read about, but I don't have a 'role model' in a narrowly defined sense of the phrase.
21. Also, which websites do you read often?
I visit many tech-related sites/blogs--TechCrunch, Gizmodo, Engadget, Lifehacker, PCMag, SourceForge, Wired and ZDNet. The other sites that I constantly visit are BBC, Business2.0, Fortune, Businessweek, NYTimes. For topical subjects, I enjoy blogs such as datelinebombay.blogspot.com, 6ampacific.com, and several others.
22. How did being an entrepreneur affect your lifestyle? Do you get enough time for yourself/family?
I started my career as an entrepreneur knowing fully well that it'll enhance my life(style)--I could choose to prioritise what I wanted to do and when I wanted to do it. And obviously, since time for family/oneself is paramount, becoming an entrepreneur allows one to do just that. My family had supported my decision to become an entrepreneur right out of graduate school and they are fully behind me on my second venture. My wife, Divya, who is a marketing professional has helped me right from the ideation stage to the pilot launch. My co-founder's wife Sudha, an experienced corporate consultant, has helped us make hooeey more user-centric. As an entrepreneur, you can initially get your family to help out which means you'll end up working
spending more time with your family. A win-win situation!
23. Our final question, One thing that you love the most?
I value my family the most and the relationships that I've built with my friends and acquaintances.
That was Rajeev Purnaiya of Hooeey.com who as we heard is not only passionate about being an entrepreneur but is equally passionate to deliver something interesting and useful to the users.

Pastors and Politics
From Rob Merola, a former student, a friend, and an Episcopalian priest — outside of DC: OK, I admit it. Sometimes I hate being a pastor. Why? Because sometimes I just can't say the things I want to say. There are times, for instance, when I'd love to jump into the political foray. But here's the [Read More…]

Christian Century and the Gospel
Turnabout is fair play. The progressive postured The Christian Century has a brief post by David Heim asking folks to reduce the gospel to seven words. They found a nice selection of folks, but I'd classify them all as soterian gospels. In fact, I'd classify them as "God loves us" gospels. Here are some of the [Read More…]

Beautiful ColorSeptember 23, 2015
I just had to have this color. It's unusual and beautiful. Probably will use it in a floral design but as an accent color due to the price of these beads. Color is as pictured. First sentence in Artbeads descriptions suits them: "The opal finish on these 8/0 inside color-lined old rose Delicas gives them a subtle sheen." Love the color and opal finish!

We're not totally in love with the song (yet), but we're obsessed with the video. If this is what the new Miley has in store for us, we can't wait for more!

ATL was a vocal group from Atlanta, Georgia. The vocalists are Tré, Will, L-Rock and rapper Danger. They had enlisted R. Kelly to produce their debut album The ATL Project, released in July 2004. Two singles released from this album: "Calling All Girls" (#12 UK Singles Chart, May 2004), and "Make It Up With Love" (#21 UK, August 2004). The four members of ATL - vocalists Tre, Will, L-Rock, and rapper Danger, came together after being chosen though an Atlanta-area talent search. Where previous R&B groups (112, Jagged Edge) had crossed over into hip-hop, by either featuring a guest rapper, or appearing on someone else's album, ATL was a self-contained R&B/hip-hop/fusion band. The quartet enlisted R. Kelly to produce their début single, "Calling All Girls," which was released in 2003.Read More...
From 2006, several songs began to leak onto the internet. Whether they are from an upcoming album or previously recorded for "The ATL Project" is unknown. Songs include, "All Grown Men", "Throwback", "In The Club Tonight" featuring Jagged Edge, "Do It" featuring UK MC Doctor, "Foolin' Around", "L.O.V.E.", "Riding Dirty" and "What I'm Looking For". However, the songs are very outdated, and are actually three years old, even though they are just now being released. According to former member Lawrence "L-Rock" Gibbs IV, ATL has indeed disbanded, but the members are working on individual projects. Read more on Last.fm.

CRA Mentor Program Targets Female Undergraduates
The Computing Research Association Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research (CRA-W) seeks undergraduates and mentors to participate in its annual Distributed Mentor Project. The DMP aims to increase the number of women entering graduate studies in the fields of computer science and computer engineering by pairing promising undergraduate women with an experienced mentor for a summer research experience at the mentor's home institution.
The number of female faculty in most computer science and engineering departments is extremely low, averaging less than two women per department in PhD-granting institutions. Consequently, undergraduate women today have limited access to role models at their institutions. The number of student applications to the CRA-W DMP program has increased dramatically in recent years—up from an average of roughly 60 per year from 1994 to 2001 to nearly 250 for the summer of 2004. However, funding limitations have kept the number of actual participants to about 45, up from 25 in earlier years.
Participants create dedicated Web sites as part of their summer research activities. Web sites from past summers are available at www.cra.org/Activities/craw/dmp/awards/2005/2005.php.
The CRA is an association of North American academic departments of computer science and computer engineering; laboratories and centers in industry, government, and academia; and affiliated professional societies. The CRA also works to promote leadership development among groups that are underrepresented in the computing profession.
The IEEE Computer Society is one of the CRA's six sponsoring societies. The CRA-W DMP currently operates under a four-year, $1.6 million grant from the National Science Foundation. Additional support comes from Usenix in 2003-2005, and from the Henry Luce Foundation in 2004-2006.
Student participants receive a $600 weekly stipend for up to 10 weeks of study at the host institution plus a limited travel allowance. Mentors can receive cash honoraria of varying amounts for mentoring one, two, or more students.
To apply as an undergraduate or mentor, visit the CRA-W Distributed Mentor Project Web site at www.cra.org/Activities/craw/dmp/. Canadian students and faculty can apply to the Canadian Distributed Mentor Project, a similar program with different rules, at www.cra.org/Activities/craw/cdmp/.
The deadline for applications to the US summer 2006 program is 1 March 2006. Canadian applications are due by 31 January 2006.

We discuss the Patriots ongoing training camp, Tom Brady reclaiming his hard work parking spot, and Tedy Bruschi's place in team history on the day he's inducted into the Pats hall of fame with CSNNE's Tom E Curran.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
-- need to call Ortiz over the house with the bat he can get rid of whatever sort of firm and I have in my house. Just a bad. We have taken out. I mean I still think as -- -- gators there isn't one to get one thing. Based on the text messages here and thank you everybody for calling -- huge was that like rodents -- the only -- Yeah very tough guy and I would like the -- people if you had a rat in Iraq. Do we don't know what it is get a read your house because. It's one thing -- few miles on. I don't know which is that could be either one but it's a rat that's a major problem based on the text messages in the size of the yeah -- that was found next that -- -- that that he gave. I think it's a mouse at least that's and and he's only Poland. Is durable about a rat is that Tom current club restaurant or it. Relative it's the teeth relative to the head of rats have subjected -- -- -- yeah oh yeah. Coach the -- thought it meticulous. That is Iraq. If she's just -- budgetary mess I think Josh Beckett bring him to my house he still searching for the rat he could find in my house I. Is that what it was a place there -- -- noses the pair productively spent with the big daddy's. Sugardaddies or used to -- -- sugardaddies. Place -- live -- has placed on combat. Sugar that they get all -- deafening when the going it's you know -- So people use the ring the buzzer all the time thinking that you're green about mr. sugardaddies and they just got me so it was a point. But it was also -- pizza place so I would come home at night. Come through back that would rattle -- he's. I have to rattle my keys back toward the door because the rat is they hang out on the dumpsters so they would scatter. Would that send their pitching every night as rich as the road used to lead the spiders are. And the other things that maybe I have in my house and they all elected governor pat gross come together I know the difference it that -- keep you food. -- for -- of -- you know from I don't know that would be I think it's about that -- my dogs apparently be in the house. If you had a wreck your house Wednesday -- were few negating the entire place I expect when I come home on Wednesday the house to be one of those giant and things like -- termites. And everything and they are dead even if I have to states on the -- spouse for a couple of days -- -- -- with a look at the parents Bob and everybody. -- they're -- getting the -- everything imaginable right to expect us. I was I was practice of the week what was what was the theme of -- practice last well. Changed and I think the best way to. Differentiate between the early demon and what we saw yesterday was the fact they put on pads to my. They were very very flat. And it was a lack of intensity with the pads it before with the -- and I think that was cautiousness I think it was a slick -- that to -- stood up more than anything else I mean we've all -- -- training camp practice is likely -- and I. What what's the goal line situations you've watched around the NFL. That's when everybody gets in the field this their -- they've had a solitaire want to win on the fourth wrapped. Untouched standing. I'm not saying that that's the way it's going to be. But I am saying that this is a team in transition and it hasn't found its voice yet hasn't found its intensity yet ending an honor leaders with today the kind of guy. In Teddy Bruschi who we'd be a very very important asset as the team begins to build another identity. When asked about this record but personally know from you as you go through training camp would you would most important thing. Office defense whatever go to Africa. I'm not fascinated watching a rebuilding offense which is what this is going to be and I'm not fascinated to see with the machinery it's gonna become. A successor to be any would have bet that Steve we could be those 12100 pressure because they think they're going to be. Daily against the title this offense which Furl it which season went -- interest in seeing is. Can this defense become a hop and pop top five defense which is -- what I thought. We were going to get last year from this team. But Patrick Jones fell off the planet Steve Gregory -- thank you went to that we Brandeis did double in the NFL. And the next thing you know it took. And weeks and -- that you could use them that's very possible that that happens this year we're talking last week about the emergence of the to talk to top number one draft picks. From a year ago and those two guys do what they're capable of doing it. You're gonna change the the the way this defense looks right if you see what you wanna see. From high tower and from Jones they are completely different defense and I would also think if the offense becomes more of a ball control type of offense. That's gonna help the defense too because in a communal feel as much. Right but the weird thing about this team has become -- offensive line and I went back with the numbers that prohibits them last year at some point. They don't want intent. -- scoring fewer than twenty points since 2009 the last when they have was like inseparable nine against buffalo that 170 -- game. A -- about that if the patriots don't school war.

A rented gun should be about as accurate as it can be depending on how well the rental gun has been maintained. If the range is worth going to at all they should be taking care of the guns they rent. It's just good business. Now guns with an adjustable site might fall out of true a little easier than some with fixed sights but you should still be able to get a good idea of how well it works. Most all range rentals I've seen have fixed sights so it shouldn't me much of an issue keeping them sighted in.
The biggest thing you are going to want to look at with a rental is how it fits, how the felt recoil feels to you and weather or not you can deal with it. Sights can be replaces or set to be best for you later. some guns liek different ammo so you might not get the best idea how something shoots until you put a few different rounds brands through it. It might shoots pretty straight but you might not like the sights the gun has but if you actually bought one and put a set of sights you liked more it may get a lot more accurate. So take shooting rentals with a grain of salt but you should get a pretty good idea shooting a rental if it is one that you would have a good time shooting well.

To Be There. . . Or Not To Be There. That Is The Question.

What does it say when an airline CEO whose stock is being re-listed opens that stock exchange remotely, rather than in person? On Wednesday May 3, Delta Air Lines, which emerged from bankruptcy April 30, began trading its newly listed stock on the New York Stock Exchange – the same exchange it traded on prior to filing bankruptcy more than 18 months ago. Rather than flying to New York to ring the ceremonial opening bell, Gerry Grinstein, the airline's CEO, opened the exchange remotely form the Atlanta airport. Mr. Grinstein is scheduled to ring the closing bell in New York today.
It's great that Mr. Grinstein will ring the closing bell in person. However, as an analyst who focuses on how technology affects travel industry eBusiness, product and channel management I have to wonder about the message his remote ringing of the opening bell sends. Think about it: the CEO of one of the world's largest airlines sends a message that technology provides an effective way for business people to do business remotely – the very point Connie made in her post about the travails of business travel a few weeks ago. I suspect neither Mr. Grinstein nor Delta's Corporate Communications team will agree with this observation, and I suspect that I'll be stuck in middle seats for this post. No doubt, they'll say Mr. Grinstein felt it was important for him to be with Delta employees and customers at what is arguably an auspicious moment for the airline. Or that he had important meetings in Atlanta. To which I say – phooey. Delta could have negotiated with the NYSE to invite a small number of employees, customers, and travel agents to join him. And I am certain Mr. Grinstein can have meetings rescheduled as necessary, or choose to hold them in New York (who knows, maybe Delta would have sold some extra tickets). But precisely because it is practical for technology to provide an acceptable proxy for in-person meetings, which could reduce demand for business travel, it's critical that airline execs and managers constantly do everything they can to remind consumers, in both obvious and non-obvious ways, that nothing is better than meetings held in person.

East Providence Rep. Melo talks Finance resignation, speaker swap
EAST PROVIDENCE — Having sufficient time to digest the goings-on of the last several days, Representative Helio Melo (D-Dist. 64, East Providence) earlier this week offered up his first public comments on the happenings that led him to step away from his lofty position as the Rhode Island House Committee on Finance chairman, a move spurred by the surprising raid and subsequent resignation of Gordon Fox as Speaker of the House.
The Rhode Island State Police and Federal Bureau of Investigations seized alleged evidence at the home and State House office of Rep. Fox (D-Dist. 4, Providence) on Friday, March 21. The incident sparked a dizzying few days of political maneuvering, which ultimately led to the rise of House Majority Leader Nicholas Mattiello (D-Dist. 15, Cranston) to the speakership by Tuesday, March 25.
"The events of March 21 were a sad day for the State of Rhode Island. On Saturday, March 22, as everyone now knows, the speaker (Rep. Fox) resigned, so we knew a new speaker needed to be put in place. It was a difficult process, but one that needed to be done," Rep. Melo said.
In between March 21 and 25, several meetings were held among the various Democratic factions from Smith Hill, including those who supported the candidacy of Rep. Michael Marcello (D-Dist. 41, Cranston and Scituate) of which Rep. Melo was one.
It became clear by the end of the weekend, however, that Rep. Marcello did not have the requisite votes to challenge the charge of Leader Mattiello. Rep. Melo refused to comment specifically on what happened to Rep. Marcello's quest for speaker, though he did say the support of Leader Mattiello by five of the six House Republican members was one of the key contributing factors to its ultimate failure.
On the losing side of the race, Rep. Melo, who eventually joined most of Rep. Marcello's backers in voting for Leader Mattiello as speaker, opted to resign as House Finance chairman early Tuesday, March 25.
In doing so, Rep. Melo acknowledged it would have been a less than ideal situation for him to remain on the Finance Committee under the circumstances, opting instead to step away from the group he had chaired for the last three-plus years.
Rep. Raymond Gallison (D-Dist. 69, Bristol and Portsmouth), an existing member of the committee, was chosen by Speaker Mattiello as the new chairman of Finance. On a side note, as of the start of the House session this week, Rep. Melo said he had yet to receive a new committee assignment.
"I understand the speaker can and will appoint his own people to certain positions. That's his prerogative. That's part of the process," Rep. Melo said. "But from my perspective there are way too many pressing issues in this state to let politics get in the way."
From his Finance chair perch Rep. Melo said he knows better than most the difficult financial straits the state still must tread and that he remains committed to working towards finding solutions even though his direct influence on matters is now limited.
"One thing I can say, in my opinion, is that there is no one in that building (the State House) that knows more about the short and long term problems that the State of Rhode Island faces better than I do, and I will not let politics get in the way of us trying to correct those problems," Rep. Melo added.
Politics, of course, are likely to be part of any maneuvers made in the House, but results will be the key to the future success of the body and specifically the new speaker, who has made the economy, jobs and inclusion of disparate views the cornerstones of his revised leadership plan.
"This is only the beginning," Rep. Melo said. "Speaker Mattiello now has to prove to be a man of his word, not only to his colleagues but to the people of the State of Rhode Island. He needs to show he can do what he needs to do about the most importance issues we face, which are the economy and jobs. It's going to be difficult. He has a very small window to do it."
The House session ends on June 30, meaning Speaker Mattiello will have had a little over three months to initiate and implement his budgetary plans.
As for his own future, Rep. Melo said he remains steadfast in his position and will once again put his name on the November ballot in search of a fifth term as the representative from District 64 in the center section of the city.
"I have every intention to run for re-election. I still consider it an honor to represent the great people of the City of East Providence and District 64. We still have plenty of work to do," Rep. Melo said.
And beyond the general election, Rep. Melo said he will keep a close eye on what could be another challenge for speaker once the House gathers for its next session in January of 2015.
"Once we have the election in November, there's going to be a whole new race for speaker," Rep. Melo added. "Speaker Mattiello has to prove his worth. He has to show he can get things done or else we'll be doing this again."

Registering a boat
Hello everyone,
I'm a Canadian trying buy a used boat currently located in Texas.
I have read elsewhere on these forums that Texas sales taxes (6.25%) can be avoided if I were to register my boat as a Canadian vessel. And I wouldn't have to pay any Canadian taxes if the boat is never brought into Canadian waters.
My intention is to sail in the Gulf area for a while and eventually make my way to the Caribbean - so I will never bring the boat into Canada, or back to Texas.
I'm getting conflicting info from the broker and the documentation company in Texas.
First. I'm told that Transport Canada requires a rigourous survey of the boat that could cost $1600 or more. Further, only some surveyors qualify to do a survey acceptable to TC.
Second, I'm told that Canadian Licensing is not recognized in many countries.
Third, I don't know how long I can keep the boat in a Texas slip - or on the hard having work done on her - before the Texas tax-man shows up with an invoice.
Surely this isn't as difficult as it seems!
Does anyone have experience with this?
First, IMHO, you're better off registering the boat in Canada, especially if you plan on leaving US waters. State registrations aren't generally recognized internationally, as states are not sovereign nations. You can NOT USCG document the boat without being a US citizen. A Canadian registration should be recognized internationally, unless you do a provincial registration, rather than a national one—this is the same problem state registered boats have BTW.
You're probably going to have to pay sales tax on the boat, especially if you're in Texas for more than a month or two.
54 Attachment(s)
The correct term of these sales tax is usually "sales and use" tax. If you don't owe the tax duye to the sale, then the state hits you with the same tax for the "use". If Texas is like most other states, they check marinas and boatyards for lists of boats physically present, the check to see the boats have paid the sales/use tax. If not, they'll charge the taxc plus interest and penalties. If you're there for even a few months, you should consider paying it.
To complete the state title transfer you may be required to pay the sales tax anyway, unless you can document the vessel is going to be exported to another state or out of the country within certain time limits.
So you will at least pay state sales tax.
Keep the boat at a Texas slip, same as any other state, you will need a registration sticker (other requirements for USCG documented). The marina if it has its act together may also require current registration.
Leave US water and the boat and you may be subject to Canadian rules. Re-enter US waters you must report to a port of entry and show that you and your crew have correct documentation to enter, and that the boat has correct documentation.
I have to agree with the above posters. You need to register it somewhere and Canada is your best bet. In Texas, you have up to 20 working days after the sale to register the boat and pay taxes in Texas. After that, penalties start building up. If you register it in one of the states and go out of the country, you will have trouble returning.
If you need the name of a good surveyor, I can recommend a really good one.
Chances are very good that you will not obtain the title without paying registration fees and sales tax. Lacking any title, you will have a difficult time registering the boat as yours, and find yourself in great difficulty entering port elsewhere, let alone staying in Texas.
Seems to me that you're inviting an awful lot of trouble and extra effort by trying to avoid what amounts to a minor expense (compared to the hole in the water the boat represents) against the total cost of owning the boat.
1) You don't need a Texas title, you need a Canadian title, assuming you are documenting the boat in Canada like SD and others suggest.
2) Allanbc says you have 20 working days after sale completes to leave Texas or else the sales tax is due. Some states do not count time spent on the hard with work being performed, some do. Check with Texas officials, and good luck getting an accurate answer.
3) You could delay the close of the sale until after the work is completed. You'll need a very tight agreement with the seller to protect you both. Someone, presumably you, will be paying for the work done, and you'll want to make sure the seller can't change his mind and not close on the deal. But if you do this, your 20 days won't start until the end of the work period.
Good luck.
Here is a link to the boat registration information. TPWD: Boating - Boat Ownership
One of the biggest problems is getting a government official to tell you what is required and then to get another official to agree to that.
That is the source of the confusion. The systems are being run by the people who administer them and that can vary on any given day.
Here is what I learned by doing.
You can license it in Canada, in your home province. You will likely have to pay provincial tax at that point unless you are in Alberta. You may or may not have to pay federal tax at that point but don't kid yourself it is due at that point.
I think that should be repeated. Even if you do not pay all the taxes due when you license it, or register it, you owe those taxes. Does not matter that you never return to Canada or if you sink or sell the boat those taxes are owed. Unless of course you are rich or connected in which case there is a process to get them waved.
Where is your boat made? That is important if importing to Canada, duty can be applied and that can be due as well.
Since you do not plan to sail to Canada you do not have to register the boat in Canada. You may not want Canada even knowing you have the boat. The less they know about your assets the less they can tax them.
If I was going to do what you are planning I would not pay tax, or I would pay the least.
When you buy the boat you will not likely have to pay tax, though you may have to agree to leave the State within a time period. Each State that you enter will have similar rules.
Then you make your way to a State where the taxes are low enough for you. I hear SC and some of those east coast states have reasonable boat taxes.
But if you cannot register or license (the US uses different terms) the boat there don't pay the tax.
In Florida, where I bought my boat, they were all about me getting that FL number and of course paying tax. I didn't but it sure seemed clear to me that I could have registered the boat in FL.
Not so in Alabama. I left my boat there beyond the time period and read that I owed tax. So I figured I could pay the tax and register the boat. NO. Only residents of AL can register a boat there. Watch out for crap like that.
Paying tax does not mean you get to register (what we would call license) the boat!
If you cannot get the boat registered in the States then head to the BVI. There is a process there that can be followed to document the boat and fly a really cool flag off the stern.
It also depends on what kind of money and time is involved. What kind of money are we talking about? $10G? $100G, $1000G?
oh I forgot. Don't sweat the difference between license and registration. Sure registration with a nice name is pretty but license is the minimum. You are only sailing in the US and the Carib so there is not going to be a problem solely due to just having a license as long as everything else is in order.
Also with just a license you can pick almost any name and port of call you want, though you might want to leave off the port of call. I put on one and found that questions were asked about it. Having a port of call on your boat suggests it is registered (or documented). To be safe just stick with a name and make it short.
While it is cool to call your boat something like: Mechanical Advantage Taken, think about using it on the radio:
Mike, Echo, Charlie, Hotel, Alpha, November, India, Charlie, Alpha, Lima...well you get the idea. I was glad I had a short name when I had to do that.
If the boat is currently titled to the seller, the ownership transferr is not complete until the title has been transferred to the new owner.

A West Auckland police station was evacuated this afternoon after a man brought in a suspected bomb he found buried in a garden.
It turned out it was actually a World War II training shell that was not explosive, but the Henderson Police Station was cordoned off for about an hour from 12.45pm before the all-clear was given.
Senior Sergeant Matt Broderick said the shell was shaped like a bullet and was 30cm long and 8cm-10cm wide.
About 20 police staff were moved outside when officers became concerned about it.
The station and road outside were cordoned off and the police bomb squad was called to examine the device and give the all-clear. The shell was taken away for disposal.
"It's better to treat these things seriously and just assume the worst until the experts turned up," Mr Broderick said.
"We're all back in our station now nice and quiet."
The man found the shell buried in a Henderson rental property garden he was preparing for new tenants. Often shells were taken home by military personnel, buried, and forgotten about, Mr Broderick said.
He urged people who find suspicious devices to leave them where they were and call police.

My fil gave us a Costco membership last Sept/October. It was free for him with his membership, so he gave it to us. I love it there! I think it pays to know what prices are at any store, and membership clubs are no exception.
I found phenomenal deals on milk ($1 less/gallon), yeast (I posted about this at some point--the price difference was amazing), dishwasher detergent, eggs, buter, and maple syrup. I bring a calculator with me as well as my current price lists.
I've only been twice since we got our membership, but I will be going back soon to stock up on paper products and cleaners.
I'm not sure if we'll be renewing our membership if my fil doesn't pay for it; it will depend largely upon how much we use it until then.06-09-2007, 11:38 AM #36

I have found some items that are cheaper at sam's than other places ....but there are some items that I won't buy there b/c I could get a better deal somewhere else08-02-2007, 03:41 PM #37
Definitely know your prices
Yes, to a lot of posters above, you do need to know your prices or have a pricebook. If you are used to buying peanut butter for instance from the grocery store when the store brand is 3 for $4, then of course getting the double-pack of Jif is not a good deal. BUT, ther are deals to be found. On average, my grocery store has boneless skinless IQF breasts for a regular price of either $3.99 or 4.49 per pound, but Sam's has it for $2.08 per lb--and it's Tyson (name brand) at Sam's versus Publix store brand at that higher price.
Also, at my Sam's, the price tags will give you some sort of unit price--such as price per lb, per oz, each, etc. That helps for those of us who forget our calculators that day!
I see Sam's as my place for Meal Foundations. I don't buy huge Stouffer casseroles or potstickers, or anything like that. I get cheese, fresh meat, frozen chicken, eggs, milk, flour, sugar, etc--that I can CREATE meals from. I only need to go to Sam's probably once a month--if I plan my meals well and use my FoodSaver in conjuction with my chest freezer. For other 'goodies' or convenience foods, I surf the internet for my grocery store weekly ads and grab what's on sale that I need (like Hamburger Helper when BoGo-the HH is great used with chicken instead of beef--lower in fat, too...).
BUT--as we can see by 4 pages of this thread, to each their own. I love my Sam's membership, you may not--you don't have to.
Oh, and their 16" Take and Bake Pizzas are fabulous and less than $8! You can even order one and have it hot and waiting for you to carryout. Pizza and Icees--what a great combo.08-02-2007, 04:06 PM #38

I'm not too wild about Sam's Club (had a membership there years ago), but I LOVE our Costco membership. Saves us a BUNDLE!
We get:
~ frozen chicken
~ pasta
~ pinto beans (WAY cheap!!)
~ canned refried beans
~ cheese (MUCH cheaper than the grocery store on sale)
~ vitamins
~ skin care (they have a line that's real nice - and affordable!)
~ granola bars
~ nuts
~ yeast
~ brown/white sugar (sometimes I get this on sale at the store - usually Thanksgiving time)
~ spices
~ brown gravy mix
~ chicken/beef base for soups
Ok...this list could go on forever... The items are very affordable and since they're in bluk and it's only Dh and me...they LAST and LAST.
We purposely go there on the weekends because they have SO many samples out. It's like getting a "free" lunch.
Love it!08-03-2007, 09:18 AM #39

I shop at BJ's once a month or so. I get big bags of Iams dog and cat food (I have a lot of pets) for cheaper than Petsmart or Walmart. Also their rawhide chews are cheaper. I get gas whenever I'm near a BJ's. And you can use manuf. coupons (if there's 3 smaller packages inside the 1 big package you can use 3 coupons!) PLUS a store coupon. They have good prices on paper towels, ground beef, some meds.08-04-2007, 11:41 AM #40
I just renewed a BJ's membership that I never used last year(not a thrifty move).I just never got around to going there last year.Not sure I will go again.I found the prices very high.I can do better with the weekly specials and coupons at the local grocery stores.However, the meats were beautiful.Maybe next year I'll see if I can share a membership with someone08-05-2007, 07:50 AM #41

I love my BJ's it is one of my regular stops for items i use most often that are cheaper: gas, milk, eggs, some bread items, cheeses and most meats. My dh always walks thru the dvd selection for the better prices, but i find the seasonal items tend to be hit or miss. I think the most important part of a bj's visit is to knowing the prices of the items I need. It has saved me much more than the cost of the membership and i have been a member for > decade.08-06-2007, 09:35 PM #42

I really like my BJ's & Costco too........for some things!
I always buy my eggs, milk, paper products, & cleaners at either BJ's or Costco. I always buy my dog food at Costco, I haven't been able to beat their price for the quality anywhere.
I do all of my other food grocery shopping at my commissary.
So I think that warehouse clubs can be a good savings for some things, especially if your like me and buy their name brands for cleaners and such and can stock up and only have to buy these things 2-3 times a year, we also save on gas this way as well, although our BJ's is literally about 4 miles from our house, so we are lucky on this account.

I go to Sams for the bargains so most of it I pass by.
I did get 2 pairs of pj bottoms for $6 and I get my Big honking electrosol tabs there--they last FOREVER.
Some things are great, some not so great.08-17-2007, 12:43 PM #44
A friend of mine belongs to Sams Club. A couple of times a year I go there with her to pick up a few things, like olive oil and Boca Burgers, which are cheaper there. I also got some large cans of diced tomatoes there, cheap, for cooking I was doing
One time I really needed some of those tomatoes and didn't have any. I went by Sams and asked if they offered one day passes for non-members. Finally the manager said that I could go and buy what I needed just that day. That worked out well for me.
I get my best sales prices at the Albertsons, just a block away from where I live. I check the sales flyers every week and they are almost always better then Safeway or City Market. FWIW: Albertsons is generous with rainchecks, I ask for 10-20 of an item on a raincheck (if price is really good) and they don't have an expiration date!
I had a 6 month old raincheck for frozen OJ for $.75 each, no limit. A great price after the failed orange crops. I ordered 3 cases of it (72 cans) and they had no problem with it. We use 1-2 cans a week.08-17-2007, 01:21 PM #45
I joined BJ's for DD's baby shower. We had a free spring trial membership. Some things were cheaper there but not enough for me to keep the membership.

Ripoff Report

Ed Koehn Ford ED KOEHN SALESMAN SCREWED US OVER HARD Greenville Michigan
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Ed Koehn Ford's salemen sold us something that completely misrepresented. We went in to see if we could upgrade to a truck that could haul more than our Navigator could (which towed 8500#) and they talked us into the Ford F150 with Ecoboost because it could haul 11,300 lbs. We traded in our Navigator that we owed free and clear. Come to find out about a year later when going to purchase a travel trailer that truck we were talked into didn't have the MAX trailer package and we could only haul 7300#!!! We went back to them to make it right because they completely misrepresented the vehicle we bought and the salesman was no longer there and they wouldn't do a thing to help us but tell us we can take a loss on the $6500 we got on trade for our Navigator and go in the hole another $6500 because they would only give us fair trade value and not what we owed. They do not care about being honest to their customer. They sold us the most expensive vehicle on the lot knowing it was NOT the vehicle we were searching for!

A sad lesson
SUBMITTED: Monday, April 14, 2014POSTED: Monday, April 14, 2014
You have found out (as many of us have) that you can't believe a thing a car salesman tells you.
You have to do your own research and make sure what they are telling you is true. He may not even have been lying (yeah right) and was just wrong, that COULD have happened.
You have to do all your research and be more knowledgable than the salesman before you even darken their door. If you have ANY doubts or if they are telling you things you aren't sure of, tell them you'll get back with them and find out for certain before you believe them.
It shouldn't be that way but it is.
Good luck.

Andy says I'm an RSS stealer thanks to Google Reader
Andy Beard notes that I'm stealing people's content for my Google Reader link blog.
Absolutely! And, if anyone doesn't like it, they can send me email and I'll remove them from my feeds.
But my email lately has been much different. Turns out that these blogs are getting hundreds, and even thousands, of visits from my link blog.
Whoa? The full content is over there, so why would anyone click through to read the full blog?
Well, for one, I'm not printing everything that, say, TechCrunch puts up. So, if you are a new reader and are following my link blog you'll probably want to click through to good posts to subscribe to the full feed yourself.
Second, if there are comments, or you want to comment on a post, you've gotta visit the full thing.
Anyway, what are the rules? Most people who use RSS know that they are giving permission for their feeds to be used in a non-commercial way. My link blog doesn't have ads on it so fits inside the model of a non-commercial use.
I TOTALLY disagree with Andy that RSS was designed to be private. That's TOTALLY FALSE. Ever since I can remember RSS is about PUBLIC uses of syndication technology.
More photowalking is up
First and second parts of our pumpkin walk with photosharing service Zooomr CEO Thomas Hawk is up.

Oh, and love how Thomas was wearing a "Diggnation" t-shirt. I wonder if we'll get onto Digg with this? Seems like anything that mentions Digg gets on Digg pretty quickly.
Speaking of Digg, my blatant begging seems to have helped get the Google Reader video onto Digg. It's hanging out on the second page right now, but that's pretty good! 289 Diggs along with one guy saying I'm incompetent.
Damn, there's always one guy who says the truth, isn't there?

Comic book adaptations are a big market right now. We're seeing news pretty much everyday about something dealing with a live-action comic book movie or TV show. It might be news about casting, a new trailer, or the development of another property. Fans gobble the news up because it means more entertainment is headed their way.
What we don't see a lot of is news about animated comic book adaptations. We practically have a drought when it comes to actual cartoon series based on comics. Besides simply providing entertainment, animated shows based on superheroes can offer other advantages for the market and bring even more exposure to the comic book industry.
My first introduction to the world of superheroes wasn't through comics. My earliest memories was watching repeats of the 1967 Spider-Man series and old episodes of Super-Friends. Other shows surfaced such as old Superman cartoons and eventually shows like Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends and The Incredible Hulk. I was glued to these shows long before I actually read a single comic book. These were my official introduction to the characters and genre. Those are the shows that gave me my foundation in comic book characters.
For others, Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League or the 90s X-Men and Spider-Man animated series were their introductions. This is one reason why we need more animated comic shows.
Take a look at the animated shows that air today. Saturday Morning Cartoons aren't what they used to be. We may have plenty of animated shows and channels devoted to showing children's programming but we don't have many with actual superheroes. There are kids today that do become aware of the characters through the live-action movies. With most of them rated PG-13, they're not exactly appropriate for the younger crowd, despite many parents taking their kids to them. Should young kids see Tony Stark having a one-night stand or Wolverine telling people to "#%*$ off"? This might be fine for older audiences but it may not be the best introduction for the younger crowd.
The only shows we really have right now are Ultimate Spider-Man, Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H., Avengers Assemble, and Teen Titans Go! They may have some good qualities but they aren't exactly true representative of characters. Hulk doesn't hang out with other gamma-irradiated characters while doing video diaries during missions. Spider-Man doesn't break the Fourth Wall and isn't an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. The Teen Titans don't do even a fraction of the wacky things that happen on the show.
Past shows like Batman: The Animated Series, Spectacular Spider-Man, and Young Justice gave a closer look at what comics were like. A large factor the networks rely on for the profitability of a show is being able to sell merchandise. It's understandable that networks want and need to make money but there has been very few attempts at selling products based on Teen Titans Go! or Beware the Batman. There isn't even anything based on the Hulk series.
What needs to be learned is what "all-ages" really means. Everyone seems to take those two words together as meaning watered down or something just for kids. If television producers and animators can recapture the formula of quality shows that, literally, anyone of any age can enjoy, new doors could be opened into the comic book world. The younger generation needs to learn who these characters are and what they're all about. This has to go beyond just being able to recognize them. If we can get shows they can watch along with older siblings or parents, everyone wins.
Of course the other crucial factor that goes along with animated shows these days is the merchandise. Care and thought needs to be put into what gets approved and made. This was the discussion in a recent video as well. If there's a quick rush to slap together a mediocre line of action figures or collectibles, no one will buy them and it will be deemed a failure.
Some parents, grandparents, or aunts and uncles will buy these bizarre renditions of superheroes for the children in their lives because there isn't much else available in the retail market. Some children will accept them because they simply don't know any better. They have no idea Batman pretty much always wears dark suits and would never wear some of the funky brightly colored 'armor' we've seen over the years in various action figures.
It was those old animated shows that got me interested in reading comic books. Today's market mainly is geared towards the teen or teen plus crowd because they've become familiar with the characters through the movies. Having more animated shows, that are true to the actual characters and not watered down, could bring in more fans. More fans could mean more people interested in buying comic books. It's just really unfortunate that we are currently in an age with really great comic stories and live action movies but the state of the comic book animated market is at an all time low.

While questions persist about the best ways to detect breast cancer early, a CT imaging system developed at the University of Rochester Medical Center and first unveiled five years ago is in a better position today to enter the fray -- at least in a supporting role to conventional mammography.
URMC radiologist Avice O'Connell, M.D., was invited to summarize the studies conducted thus far on the Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanner, at the Radiological Society of North America Annual Scientific Assembly in Chicago on December 3, 2010.
O'Connell is optimistic about the progress: The CBCT provides high-quality images and, importantly, is easier on women because it allows accurate breast scans without having to pull, flatten and compress the tissue.
In addition, preliminary research shows that breast coverage and radiation dose is comparable to mammography. Yet at this point researchers do not believe the CBCT is likely to replace mammography as a frontline screening tool. More studies are needed to verify its best usage in the clinic.
"The CBCT imaging system has some significant advantages over current imaging modalities however its greatest potential may be as an additional tool for diagnosing difficult cases. It could be extremely useful in locating tumors that are obscured by dense breast tissue, or distinguishing between benign and malignant lesions," said O'Connell, associate professor in Imaging Sciences and director of women's imaging for the Comprehensive Breast Care Center at the James P. Wilmot Cancer at URMC.
A team of URMC researchers introduced the CBCT system at the 2006 RSNA meeting. Dozens of women sought information about enrollment in clinical trials to test the new device, saying they were eager to participate in research that could lead to more comfortable, accurate, annual mammograms.
The CBCT scanner produces three-dimensional images while the breasts are in a more natural state. (Tomosynthesis is another new technology being developed for breast screening. It constructs a 3D picture of the breast using multiple x-rays, whereas the CBCT is an actual 3D image, O'Connell said.) The patient undergoing a CBCT scan lies on her stomach on a cushioned exam table -- the design of which is still being improved -- as one breast at a time is suspended through an opening in the table. The radiation source is positioned so that exposure to the chest or other areas of the torso can be avoided.
The scanner takes 300 high-resolution images while circling the breasts for about 10 seconds, emitting a radiation dose that's comparable to a diagnostic mammogram and within the limits set by the Food and Drug Administration. Radiologists will also be able to use the CBCT images and related software to perform biopsies directly on the table, O'Connell said.
Following is a summary of the data O'Connell will present at RSNA:
Researchers found that the CBCT provided quality images of the entire breast, from the chest wall to the nipple, with a contrast resolution that was adequate to detect masses and calcifications 1 millimeter or larger. The study was published in August 2010 in the American Journal of Radiology.
"As our studies continue, we are very excited about the potential of this technology and look forward to exploring many uses for the CBCT scanner in the clinic," O'Connell added.

Indian cricket team coach 'deeply offended' by leaked article.
Centurion: Coach Gary Kirsten on Friday denied that he encouraged Indian cricketers to have sex before matches to boost their on-field performance.
An Indian daily reported on Wednesday that Kirsten and mental conditioning expert Paddy Upton have come up with the suggestion that pre-match sex is good for the players.
A "deeply offended" Kirsten said Upton had compiled the leaked article.
"My family and I have been deeply offended and hurt by the many allegations that I encouraged the Indian players to engage in sexual activity before a match," Kirsten said.
"I would like to state that I have never, and I repeat never, encouraged or told the team or any player to engage in any form of sexual activity.
"These allegations are absolutely not true and completely against my religious and moral beliefs. The leaked article was compiled by Mr Paddy Upton and provided information for the players on the relationship between sexual activity and sports performance," he said.
Kirsten said the article was never a part of the team strategy.
"I have been deeply disturbed by these false allegations and wish to focus my attention on helping India have a successful Champions Trophy.
"I never wrote the article and read it for the first time two days ago. It has never been and never will be part of team strategy."
