|Property type
'The Studio' is a large room attached to our home, Old Comfortable. It is a private place approached by its own stairway. It has its own key so it can be locked. It offers an L-shaped space, which includes a sitting area with a view of the ocean, cable TV, a queen-size bed and an eating area. The eating area includes an under-the-counter refrigerator. It is outfitted with dishes and linens. There is no stove or kitchen sink. The bathroom is generous in size with a fiberglass shower. This space is best suited for someone looking for accommodations with more personality than a motel room but short of a full-size house. In the summer a local fish store will steam lobsters for you, which you can bring back to eat in the studio or you can use the outdoor charcoal grill. We used this space while our year-round house was being constructed. It is suitable for one or two people. There is a public beach within walking distance and a public landing for launching a boat/kayak nearby.
Kayaks may be rented in Friendship village just five minutes away. Following a day of being on the salt water, arrangements can be made to wash off your equipment. If your group has more than two people, please inquire about our Guest House across the street.
Well, what can you say when it's all been said? Well, you can say thank you Bill and Lynn for making our stay in Friendship a most enjoyable time.
This is a very nice, immaculately-clean studio apartment that Lynn and Bill created over their garage. It was extremely quiet, very well appointed, and very comfortable. We had nice views of the harbor from our sitting room windows, and were also encouraged to enjoy the beautiful grounds and the pier.
The kitchen area had a small fridge, a microwave oven, a 4-unit toaster, a coffee maker etc., etc. They provided coffee, water, and other drinks. The bed is a beautiful four-poster with matching sheets, comforter, and dust ruffle. The theme is rustic/nautical with comfortable easy chairs. The floors have the wide pine boards, as in the old days, but seem to be new. The bathroom is quite large, and is well-stocked with incidentals. There is a large bureau and a large closet with plenty of room.
A nice bonus was viewing Lynn's coffee-table type books of photos she has taken of people, animals, birds, flowers, lighthouses, and other remarkable sights in the Friendship area. Lynn was too modest to mention them to us, but we found them in the studio and thoroughly enjoyed them. She has a real talent for taking beautiful photos.
Lynn and Bill are very pleasant and easy to get to know. We felt at ease with them immediately, and felt like we had made some nice friends by the time we left. They have a beautiful house on a wooded lot on the bay. We could tell that it was very important to them for their guests to feel welcome and and to be comfortable.
We are very pleased to recommend this rental to anyone who is looking for a nicely-appointed quiet, place to stay in one of Maine's beautiful coastal areas. We think you will enjoy it as much as we did!
We can't think of a more peaceful and beautiful place to spend a vacation. It exceeded our expectations. It is quiet and has a great view of the cove. Our hosts, Lynn and Bill, thought of everything to make our stay comfy and cozy. "Old Comfortable" is a great name for a perfect getaway spot. We loved it!
The Old Comfortable Studio was exactly as shown. The setting was beautiful; serene wooded surroundings with a lovely view of the water. The studio was fully stocked with anything we might have forgotten in our packing and even some unexpected extras for convenience.
We enjoyed a short stroll past the gardens and landscaped yard to the dock each morning to sip our coffee and watch the sun come up. A walk along Martin Point reveals the lush and varied foliage of Maine. And our lodging included several books of Lynn's photography of the area which we thoroughly enjoyed.
Bill and Lynn were the perfect hosts... We felt as if we had the entire property to ourselves yet knew they were right there if needed. We certainly plan to return and would recommend The Old Comfortable to others planning a visit to the area. Cathy and Mike - Wimberley, TX
Lovely waterfront location with view of the bay and islands. Our hosts were most gracious and the accommodations were very comfortable and clean. The only drawback is the lack of a kitchen stove and sink but this was explained in the published description of the property so there was no surprise. It put is in a position to explore the area for dining options which was fun. We saw areas we had never seen before. The Case's are lovely people and made us feel right at home: good old New England charm! We would seriously consider returning to this property to experience the separate fully equipped cottage owned by the Case's that is located across the street and on a freshwater pond. We enjoyed our stay and would encourage travelers to seriously consider this property.
If you are looking for the perfect place for two, with a view, to unwind and relax, the Studio at Old Comfortable is the spot! We found the Studio just what we were looking for - a private, comfortable and beautifully appointed lodging with just enough amenities. Plus, the best views in Maine from the "Crow's Nest" seats on their pier; the ocean, out islands and lobster boats were an ever-changing painting. Hosts, Lynn and Bill provided a warm welcome and were available to make their favorite restaurant recommendations. Our favorite was Wallace's Grocery in Friendship where good food, good conversation and needed groceries can always be found! We would recommend the Studio at Marten's Point highly and hope to return!
Bob and Mary, Nashville, NC
Lynn, the owner, is very friendly and helpful. The studio, easily large enough for two people, is quite pleasant and has a comfortable bed, an eating/desk table, two nice reclining chairs in the TV area, excellent reading lights and oriental rugs on wood floors.
For a full water view, one goes down a flight of stairs through the garage and around to the back of the house. The entire property is beautifully landscaped and the flowers especially lovely. We enjoyed sitting in lawn chairs and reading.
It takes only seven minutes to walk to the beach, where we found crabs, little lobsters and fish swimming during low tide. Our grandchildren, who were staying nearby, loved it. The water was very safe for swimming or just floating around, and we met several friendly locals who swim there daily.
The only negatives were that wifi was "iffy" in the studio at times.
We would definitely go back.
Guests at Old Comfortable never run out of things to do. Within 20 to 40 minutes away, you can find several restaurants, museums, shopping, lighthouses, movies, theaters, concerts (such as the Blues Festival in July), swimming and golf. Also nearby are boat tours and day sails on a windjammer. In August, we have the annual Lobster Festival, the Antique Fair, the Maine Boats and Harbors Show and the Blueberry Fair.

Hi, Slender Wiki.
My name's Jam. Well, it isn't. Jam's a nickname. But anyway, I'm an amateur filmmaker, but I've been on a kind of hiatus for the past year, in which I haven't actually shot anything. I've just been writing and scripting and focusing on other areas of my life.
I only came across Slender Man on April Fool's Day. I'd heard about him before from a friend, who'd shown me the two originals photomanips, but I'd never really taken an interest.
Then I started to watch some of the videos. Mainly MarbleHornets and EverymanHYBRID. They're amazing, and they got me really interested in the whole Slender Man mythos. Not just in the suited stalker himself, but also in the world that's been created around him, with creatures like the Rake and other beings he seems to have interacted with.
So I'm very interested in doing a miniseries based on the Slender Man mythos as part of my new batch of short films that I plan to release over the next few years. However, if I do, it'll be very, very different to any pre-existing films or series', partly because I don't want to dishonour a group of such incredible works, and also because I want to do something that will separate my piece from theirs. My only concern is that I don't want to upset the Slender Man fan base.
First, it wouldn't be an ARG. I know there's already been at least one non-ARG film (Windigo, am I right?), so I think it's okay if I don't go for the ARG format. Not because I don't like it, but because I'd rather try something else.
Second, the actual appearance and characteristics of Slender Man would be a mix of the original Slendy and the new. So yeah - back tentacles, effect on children, mixed in with the stuff we've seen since that time.
I thought I'd post this here, on this wiki, since I don't really know where else to go to ask fans with as much dedication as has been shown by the quality of this site. I want to experiment with the legend of the Slender Man, but I don't want to upset the fans. It's hard. I thought I'd ask around and see how well this would be taken before I got too deep into it.
I haven't started pre-production or anything yet, so if what I'm saying sounds bad or off kilter, please let me know. I'd hate to make something that wouldn't fit in with the Slender Man mythos. What I want to do is put my own spin on it.
Well thanks for reading this. If you know of a better place for me to post this message, on somewhere where it might do more good, then please say so.

I have a beige looking mole on the top of my head. It created a sort of raised bump. Any suggestions? (photos)

Mole on the scalp and removal
First of all you should have a formal consultation with a dermatologist to ensure that your mole is truly clinically benign. Your dermatologist might examine it more closely with a special dermatoscope and determine if a biopsy is necessary. If the mole is perceived to be benign, then a number of approaches can be used to remove it including shave and excision biopsies, laser ablation and electrodessication.
Mole on Scalp--Mole Removal-- Lasers, Radiowave, Shave -- See an Expert
Please go to a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in mole removal and lasers so you can limit the scarring. Lasers, radiowave or shave removal can be done for mole removal. See an Expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for inquiry and for providing a photo. I believe this can be solved with a small minor surgery with local anesthesia. You would need to be seen in person for a proper assessment before determining what course of action is best. Always be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

He completed 55 percent of his passes last season and threw for 950 yards and six scores, and he rushed for 850 yards (7.3 ypg) and 14 scores. His team went 7-3 on the season.
He's also a very good basketball player.
He already had offers from schools from all over the nation, including FSU, Alabama, Auburn, Ohio State, and more.
His visit here today indicates some definite interest in Miami but he's been to several schools already and plans to see several more later in the spring.
Miami's definitely in the mix but it'll be interesting to see which of the several schools he sees this spring that he will make return visits to later on.

Reference Values
Dear all,
I have a general understanding problem concerning the reference values. What do they define actually and what are they for? I want to simulate the transport of a contrast agent bolus inside the coronary arteries and set the velocity as inlet b.c., so where do I have to compute my reference values from? And what ist the difference between "Compute from" and "Reference Zone"?
Thank you for all hints and help!
Reference values are normally used to non-dimensionalize the quantities of your interest e.g if you are computing the flow over wing then these values are used to non-dimensionalize the lift, drag and moment values

After some spooky celebrations for Halloween at the end of last month, Valve is now rolling out a fresh update that brings forth a new operation, not to mention plenty of other goodies.Now, a brand new patch just been released by developer Valve, and the studio has stayed true to its word from last week, as it's a big update with plenty of changes to the multiplayer-only first-person shooter.Furthermore, because all of these transactions are fully paid in Bitcoin, there is no third party taking a cut of every sale. Transaction fees for Bitcoin transfers are paid by the sender, and the process costs next to nothing when comparing it to traditional payment solutions. Plus, due to its global reach, Bitcoin is accessible to and by everyone in the world. For those who once considered the campaign to be part of the appeal behind the Rainbow Six series, I imagine the (unsurprising) news that Siege won't have a major single-player element outside of bots will be kind of disappointing.This means that it's actually possible that a weapon which is supposed to be rare might become more common than weapons below it on the rarity scale, causing its price to drop, and meaning "more common" weapons actually become more valuable in the long run.It has grown into a vast collection, with players willing to offer up to $400 for just one. That means that CS:GO gamers can easily have items worth thousands of dollars on their account. It's a remarkable feat that Valve achieved, and that's just from one game. However, when it becomes an actual profitable business, it turns into a target for hackers. One could gain a good chunk of money from hijacking accounts and selling its items to a third party.Yahoo Inc. has been in talks with Major League Gaming with regard to broadcasting electronic sports competitions. This move is in accordance with the rapidly increasing number of businesses who would like to capitalize in the realm of electronic sports.Valve's relaxed approach to beta timings extends to the game's full release. CS: GO was announced as an early 2012 title for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, but Faliszek said that specifically when the game launches will be down to the community.
A confident first win suggested the Epsilon had figured out the North American metagame after their 3-2 victory over returning champions Cloud9 yesterday. Once again, captain iRaffer's Ymir—a support character that isn't valued in the US—proved to be a vital playmaker, while jungler Adapting turned in a brilliant performance as Thor.While this is just one example site, one can expect more to pop up. As Malwarebytes points out in its post, the Steam Mobile app that facilitates this system can only be downloaded directly from Steam, Google Play and the Apple Store. Anything else is fake and likely harmful to your devices. An Australian Counter-Strike Global Offensive player and streamer has had his prayers answered, after Valve dipped into their legendary bag of "one-time" gestures.The UK Gambling Commission, which regulates betting, declined to comment on individual providers but said any site offering gambling services to British residents must be registered.Counter-Strike: Global Offensive or CS:GO, an online first-person shooter from Hidden Path Entertainment and Valve Corporation, has just hit another record high.
The most common sorts of hacks are the following: Aimbot, wall hack, silent aim, no recoil and no spread.The Swedish-based organization released news about their new addition. Following the actual trends of many teams switching to CS:GO, ColdGame picked up five players to represent the organization on the new Valve's title that will be released soon.Back in June last year, Valve tweaked Steam's Trade Scams Policy, indicating that it will no longer restore in-game items people lose in Steam trade scams.One map, Cache , only recently entered that collective consciousness. Cache was originally designed by Sal "Volcano" Garozzo for Counter-Strike: Source in Spring 2010. When CS:GO was released, Cache was ported to the Steam Workshop, where it became a staple of professional competitive leagues. After I created two GO maps of my own, I took a look at Cache and was impressed with what I saw. Maps like Cache have a unity to them—a clean, simple flow. I wasn't surprised to learn that Volcano was originally a professional CS player, and a legend in the scene. What was surprising was that Cache was the very first map he ever made. This was someone I had to work with.

Robin "Fifflaren" Johansson, a (now retired) pro player whose team Ninjas in Pyjamas won the ESL One Cologne major earlier this year, sees another benefit to Twitch's popularity. "Twitch has helped a lot in the sense that you get so many viewers that have probably never heard of CS before," he says. "All of the younger generation that started playing League of Legends and whatever, they can go on Twitch and be like 'Whoa, wait, what's this game? They've got like 300,000 viewers. I gotta check this out.' And that's obviously helped the growth of CS:GO."The statistics back Robin's theory up. Not only do the viewer numbers reach new heights every time there's a major, but the number of people actually playing the game does, too. Something about watching the best players in the world play CS makes people want to try it out for themselves.Much of the weapon trading within CS:GO is done by the book, with market owner Valve taking its 15 percent cut of the revenue. But as is always the case when opportunities like this arise, there's also a seedy underbelly oozing with risky arms trafficking and under-the-table deals -- a world that Valve simply cannot control.r sell them each for.There are a number of different hangouts for CS:GO gunrunners. Most congregate around the CS:GO Lounge, a third-party trading website which allows soldiers to list their potential trades, check out what anyone else is offering, and then conduct their business. Another popular spot is the /r/GlobalOffensiveTrade Reddit forum, which works in very much the same manner.
The single best way to increase your FPS is to drop your resolution, so let's dig into CS:GO's graphics settingsAs more developers consider real-money transactions and user-driven marketplaces, virtual "gunrunners" have already been cutting deals inside and outside Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's official channels. Gamasutra's Mike Rose reports.The Skylake motherboard uses the H170 chipset – relatively untested thus far – which has high-speed IO (HSIO) lanes available to the motherboard manufacturer for various IO allocation. In the case of Biostar, the motherboard is capable of hosting 4x SATA III, 1x SATA Express, 1x M.2 Key M, 1x PCI-e 3.0 x16, 1x PCI-e 3.0 x1, 2x PCI, GbE, and 4x USB3.0 + USB3.0 header (with some USB2.0 thrown in).
Also the balancing issues - you can't really sell anything that will affect balance. With TI, we stayed away form that. I think that might have hurt our bottom line financially. But I guess the majority of people who play our game like the fact that it's not a pay-to-win game. But unfortunately it's not sustainable, financially. We're losing money. It's kinda obvious that we're not doing well financially.He said coders supply cheats on the site in exchange for a cut of the sale. These "vendors," as Slayer calls them, take in about half the profits of the whole operation. Both Prophet and Slayer said that they get paid "enough," but not enough to quit their day jobs. "More than minimum wage," they said. Customer support, technical support, and other people like Zero who help run the site get paid as well, but less. Zero didn't want to say how much he makes, but admitted that he has a day job and that free cheats attracted him to the position.
The overarching policy is that the refund in question must be made within 14 days of purchase, and you cannot have more than two hours played with any game. However, even when falling outside of this requirement, Valve will still "take a look" and see if anything can be done.ʏһҳúcsgo sale

B.O. ANALYSIS: 'Mission' Holds, but 'Momma's' Big
Paramount's "Mission: Impossible 2" took a predictably big second weekend drop, but held on to first place despite big competition from Fox's "Big Momma's House."
"M:I-2" escaped with an estimated $27 million (-53 percent) at 3,653 theaters (theater count unchanged; $7,355 per theater). The PG-13-rated action adventure sequel's cume is approximately $130.7 million.
The original "Mission" dropped 52 percent in its second weekend (May 31-June 2, 1996) and had a cume at that point of $107.2 million. The sequel's cume is running about 22 percent ahead of the original.
Paramount had anticipated a drop of 50-55 percent for "M:I-2's" second weekend, saying that was the range to expect after having just opened to blockbuster business for the four-day Memorial Day weekend.
"M:I-2" should wind up grossing $200-250 million in domestic theaters and $300-350 million in international theaters. Its worldwide cume should total $500-600 million. The first "Mission" did $181 million domestically and $284 million internationally for a worldwide cume of $465 million.
(NOTE: Today's percentage drops are calculated against the Friday-Sunday portion of the previous four-day holiday weekend.)
The weekend's big story, however, was 20th Century Fox's PG-13 comedy "Big Momma's House."
"Momma," this weekend's only wide opening, was a hefty second with a full-figured estimated $25.6 million at 2,802 houses ($9,136 per theater). Insiders said Fox's decision to go for a PG-13 rather than an R rating was a key factor in achieving its solid success.
"Momma's" per-theater average was the highest for any film playing in wide or limited release this weekend.
"Momma" out-performed industry expectations that it would gross around $20 million given its strong tracking scores going into the weekend. Insiders said late last week that the film had 83 percent awareness and 43 percent definite interest and was a 13 percent overall first choice and a 59 percent first choice for African-Americans.
"In the immortal words of Bobby Carradine in 'Revenge of the Nerds II' – 'We're back,'" a very pleased Tom Sherak, 20th Domestic Film Group chairman and senior executive vice president of Fox Filmed Entertainment, said Sunday morning.
"For us, it's the beginning of what we think will be a big summer. We have 'Titan A.E.' next and then 'Me, Myself & Irene' and then 'X-Men' and then 'Bedazzled'. This couldn't start the summer off better."
Sherak said Fox's exit poll scores "were incredible. Excellent was 60 percent, very good was 28 percent — 88% in the Top Two Boxes. Definite recommend was 80 percent overall." Young males, he added, gave it a definite recommend of over 90 percent.
Who was "Momma's" core audience? "The core audience was young females – 58 percent of the audience was under 25 and 60 percent was female," Sherak replied. "It played huge urban and very good white. You see it crossing over already. There's no color in this. The small little markets did what the small little markets normally do. But the theaters that cross over were huge. When you get to totally white America, the numbers aren't as good, but they're okay."
Emphasizing that the film has good playability for a broad audience, Sherak added, "The critics missed this one. Let's keep a record of how they're doing."
Buena Vista/Disney's PG-rated computer animated feature "Dinosaur" took one step down to third place in its third weekend with a less bulky estimated $12.0 million (-52 percent) at 3,319 theaters (+17 theaters; $3,616 per theater). Its cume is approximately $96.8 million, heading for $170 million-plus in domestic theaters.
Buena Vista/Touchstone and Spyglass Entertainment's PG-13-rated action comedy "Shanghai Noon" fell one rung to fourth place in its second weekend with a less happy estimated $8.6 million (-45 percent) at 2,745 theaters (+34 theaters; $3,133 per theater). Its cume is approximately $31.9 million.
DreamWorks' R-rated action adventure "Gladiator" slipped one notch to fifth place in its sixth week, still fighting hard with an estimated $8.1 million (-40 percent) at 3,056 theaters (-132 theaters; $2,651 per theater). Its cume is approximately $138.7 million, heading for $175-200 million in domestic theaters.
"Gladiator's" 40 percent drop was the lowest for any film in this weekend's Top Five.
"Gladiator" is half owned by Universal, which is releasing it internationally.
DreamWorks' R-rated youth appeal comedy "Road Trip" finished sixth, down one peg in its third week but showing good legs with an estimated $6.7 million (-39 percent) at 2,654 theaters (+23 theaters; $2,524 per theater). Its cume is approximately $45.5 million.
New Line's "Frequency" held on to seventh place in its sixth week, continuing to show terrific legs with an estimated $2.1 million (-27 percent) at 1,605 theaters (-198 theaters; $1,293 per theater). Its cume is approximately $38.0 million, heading for about $45 million in domestic theaters.
"Every week, it's had minimal drops," New Line distribution head David Tuckerman said Sunday morning. "The picture's actually doing exactly what we thought it would do – once we got it in the marketplace, word of mouth would carry it."
DreamWorks' Woody Allen PG-rated comedy "Small Time Crooks" dropped two rungs to eighth place in its third week, still holding well with an estimated $1.7 million (-45 percent) at 874 theaters (+45 theaters; $1,945 per theater). Its cume is approximately $11.2 million.
"U-571," Universal's PG-13 World War II submarine drama, descended one notch to ninth place in its seventh week with a quiet estimated $1.42 million (-45 percent) at 1,591 theaters (-453 theaters; $892 per theater). Its cume is approximately $71.0 million, heading for about $75 million in domestic theaters.
Rounding out the Top Ten was Columbia's PG-13-rated youth appeal dance film "Center Stage," down one slot in its fourth weekend with a calm estimated $1.1 million (-49 percent) at 1,362 theaters (-144 theaters; $808 per theater). Its cume is approximately $14.4 million.
OTHER OPENINGS Columbia's G-rated family drama "Running Free" opened in 21st place to a slow estimated $0.055 million at 100 theaters ($545 per theater).
SNEAK PREVIEWS This weekend saw no national sneak previews.
EXPANSIONS On the expansion front, Miramax's R-rated comedy "East Is East" added a few more theaters in its eighth week, placing 17th with a quiet estimated $0.25 million at 157 theaters (+3 theaters; $1,575 per theater). Its cume is approximately $2.4 million.
USA Films' PG-13-rated drama "Up At The Villa" went a little wider in its fifth week, placing 18th with a dull estimated $0.19 million (-18 percent) at 112 theaters (+4 theaters; $1,685 per theater). Its cume is approximately $1.8 million.
Paramount Classics' PG-13-rated drama "Passion of Mind" went wider in its second week, placing 20th with a weak estimated $0.099 million (-47 percent) at 122 theaters (+18 theaters; $815 per theater). Its cume is approximately $0.4 million.
WEEKEND COMPARISONS Key films — those grossing more than $500,000 for the weekend — took in approximately $96.89 million, up about 19.86 percent from the comparable weekend last year when key films grossed $80.83 million for four days.
This weekend's key film gross for three days cannot be compared to this year's previous weekend, which was a four day holiday weekend.
Last year, 20th Century Fox's third week of "Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace" was first with $32.89 million at 3,024 theaters ($10,877 per theater); and Universal's second week of "Notting Hill" was second with $15.01 million at 2,752 theaters ($5,455 per theater). The top two films one year ago grossed $47.9 million. T is year, the top two films grossed an estimated $52.6 million.
STUDIO MARKET SHARES Based on business by key films (those grossing $500,000 or more), last weekend's top six distributors were:
Paramount was first with two films ("Mission: Impossible 2 and "Rules of Engagement," grossing an estimated $27.51 million or 28.4 percent of the market.

text: Netbet comments on sportsbook payout dispute By SBR Monday, October 28, 2013 Share with: Netbet Sportsbook (SBR rating C-) has provided comment on a player dispute. A player reported that he has been unable to withdraw a sum of approximately €800 for three months. He claimed to have arrived at a dead end with the sportsbook customer service and reached out to SBR for help. Netbet has commented on the case. Netbet followed up with SBR and claimed that the source of the player's payout difficulty is the player himself. Netbet claimed that they have attempted to process the payout to the bank account the player provided but that the institution rejected the transaction. The player allegedly has been unable to provide details matching the institution in question. SBR has followed up with the player and advised him of the Netbet feedback. The dispute is considered satisfactorily addressed and will not be updated less the player can demonstrate bad faith on behalf of the sportsbook. SBR reported that Bet770 Sportsbook rebranded under the Netbet Sport group. All player balances were transferred to the new site. Follow SportsbookReview.com on twitter.
