Idea of the Day: We Need a National Infrastructure Bank
Infrastructure forms the foundation of the U.S. economy. Without highways, power grids, railroads, dams, levees, and water systems, businesses could not transport their goods, homes would be without electricity or drinkable water, parents could not get their kids to school, and the United States would cease to be a world leader in productivity and innovation. But despite our infrastructure's clear indispensability, decades of negligence and underinvestment have allowed much of it to fall into a shameful state of disrepair.
Inefficiencies in our infrastructure affect all aspects of American life. Commuters on our highways now lose more than $100 billion every year in time spent and fuel burned due to ever-increasing congestion on their way to and from work. U.S. ports are struggling to handle increased ship sizes and cargo volumes. Lock systems on inland waterways are crumbling, causing tens of thousands of hours of delays every year. And leaking pipes lose an estimated 7 billion gallons of clean drinking water every day. Together, these failures jeopardize public health, contribute to environmental degradation, and make American businesses less competitive, forcing them to pass additional costs on to consumers.
At the same time, our closest competitors have dramatically stepped up their investment in infrastructure and adopted ambitious plans for additional development. The United States fell to 24th place in overall infrastructure, down from ninth in 2008, according to a 2011 annual survey conducted by the World Economic Forum. What's worse, under current levels of investment, this ranking will likely only continue to fall. A recent Center for American Progress report on America's infrastructure funding gap estimated that the federal government is underinvesting in infrastructure by approximately $48 billion per year, assuming a goal of adequately maintaining existing infrastructure and preparing for projected economic and population growth.
But our situation is not hopeless. By coupling increased investment with a number of commonsense reforms, the United States could make great progress toward bringing its infrastructure up to modern standards. The establishment of both a national infrastructure bank and a national infrastructure planning council represents an innovative and promising way in which we could finance and plan infrastructure projects.

Organizing all the essential Honda XR650R information!
Wiring a Dual Sport Kit
Here are a couple wiring diagrams that are useful in your conversion.
This is a stock United States wiring diagram for the Honda XR650R.
And here is a diagram of a fully dual sported bike with using an upgraded 200w stator. Keep in mind that running an upgraded stator is NOT necessary for a basic conversion. Personally I have the Baja Designs dual sport kit on my bike, running with the stock stator, and it works quite well.
This diagram should be used as a guide. It was put together by someone on the ADV forums but I can't remember exactly who. I'll happily give credit if you know!

The United States scored both of its regulation goals on bad penalties taken by Russian forward Alexander Radulov during America's 3-2 shootout victory on Saturday. So naturally, Russia coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov wasn't happy with Radulov after the game.
Bilyaletdinov, speaking through a translator, suggested the former Preds forward should be scratched "among other things."
It turns out that Bilyaletdinov has changed his mind because Radulov is playing against Slovakia and projected to skate alongside Pavel Datsyuk and Ilya Kovalchuk, according to CBC's Elliotte Friedman.
Radulov has excelled at the KHL level for years and has nine goals and 34 points in 33 games this season. At the same time, if Bilyaletdinov was going to make a statement, this was the time to do it. Russia is set to play a Slovak team that wasn't highly regarded going into this tournament and failed to beat Slovenia.
Russia should be able to win this game with or without Radulov, but it looks like Bilyaletdinov has decided to stick with him.

He's just confirming his trip to Serbia.
- lateralous - Feb 16, 2014 at 7:29 AM
Russia is exiling people to Serbia now?
In all seriousness, I think this call came from higher up than the coach. I know Russia wanted a KHL presence on their team, so benching one of their best was probably out of the question.
- lonespeed - Feb 16, 2014 at 8:24 AM
We all know what he did to his coach when he mentioned he might be benched:
- pastabelly - Feb 16, 2014 at 9:03 AM
If Russia weren't the home team, they wouldn't be a threat. They're just not that good.
- lowenni - Feb 16, 2014 at 12:11 PM
Yup, Ovi, Malkin, Kovalchuk, Datsyuk and the rest like Tarasenko and Semin just can't play hockey at all. Not good at all.

Towards the sky, all I see is blue. Such as we are and spell-bond together do I seek refuge in life's attempt to hide-away the true; The truth....the true...(?)...but what is true. "Truth in the reliazation of dis- covery a metaphor about yourself," "that it really doesn't matter which way the enemy...(satin) trie's to destroy me, through strength." I'm made more tolerable to make-it-in the storm cause in pain as well as in gain, I've learn an important revellation.

Had to place my mom in an adult foster care home and clean out her house. Since my sister doesn't sew much I took most of my mom's fabric stash. There's some beautiful blue velvet and I haven't worked with that kind of fabric before...Obviously there's no label or instructions and my mom isn't going to be able to remember to tell me. I'm just wondering how to wash it before I use it for anything -- warm water, cold water, dryer, no dryer, or should it not be machine washed at all? Thanks
------New Ovation!! Now a Babylock girl almost all the way - Ellegante 3, Evolution, and Melody. Plus a Sailrite LSZ-1 for those heavy duty projects
I would dry clean it, for fear of ruining the luscious pile. But, I'm sure that someone else knows more about it than me! -- Edited on 4/9/14 4:03 PM --
------Jess Sewing, Knitting, Living: http://www.sometimessewist.wordpress.com 2013 - Bought: 181, Used: 96, Stashed: 85 2014 - B: 108, U: 132, S: 62 1/4 2015 - Carryover: 62 1/4, B: 0, U: 2 1/8, S: 60 1/8
I would also say dry clean, however I looked up "Can you wash velvet" on the web and there are lots of posts and suggestions. Maybe cut a piece off and try it first.
------SewLibra Brother SB4138, Bernina 1008, Brother 1034D, Janome Harmony 9102D
Oh, so sorry about your mom. As to the velvet, can you cut a piece and try out hand washing and air drying it perhaps? Good luck!
I have a suit made of red cotton velvet. I washed a swatch of it a few times to see how it stood up. I've now washed the suit two or three times every December for the last ten or so years, and it is still in very good shape, although I had to replace the front of the pants where the nap was warn away from children sitting there. Of course, your velvet may be polyester, rayon, or even silk. Wash a swatch and see what happens. Tate Oh, and I let it air dry. -- Edited on 4/10/14 6:06 PM --
------King of the Rocketeers!
Cut and serve a 4" or 6" square, wash & dry, and assess it. I have a lovely cotton velvet that machine washes and dries very nicely.
------ iPad's auto-correct is my enema.
I have successfully machine washed (and lightly dried) silk velvet (rayon with silk pile), synthetic velvet, and cotton velvet. I have some RTW velvet clothing, and the washing instructions are mixed (some silks say to machine wash, some synthetics say hand...). What does the velvet feel like? Cotton velvet is very dense, with a short pile, and the direction of the nap is easier to see than feel. Silk velvet is very, very soft, and the color is incredibly rich. Poly/synthetic velvets are shiny in a different way, feel ever-so-slightly "crunchy," and the nap is often much softer in one direction. Your main concerns when washing any fabric are shrinkage, bleeding, wrinkling, or a change in drape/hand. Whisking it out of the wash IMMEDIATELY will minimize wrinkling, and drying briefly (~20 minutes or so) on low will revitalize the pile without causing undue shrinkage. You can further fluff up the pile as it continues to air dry. If wrinkles occur, steam press it face down on a fluffy towel, or itself. Test a swatch first, just to see how it behaves, and then off you go! :) -- Edited on 4/10/14 7:31 PM --
------~Gem in the prairie
Think of cotton velvet as "un-waled" corduroy. You can wash it accordingly. All other velvets are best dry cleaned.
Can you do a burn test to determine the fiber content?
------"framed" was taken "I meant what I said, and I said what I meant." - Horton(Dr. Seuss)
You can wash velvet, but the fabric definitely look different. Always when you don't know what to do with a fabric do a swatch test. I cut a piece that is somewhat uneven in outline, then trace it. This way when you wash the sample you will be able to see if and which direction it shrunk. I'd also do a burn test to get a feeling for what it's made of. Instead of using your washing machine for one small sample, thoroughly wet it and put it on high in the microwave for about 2 minutes or until dry.

I Took $195K Worth of Vacations for Only $14K
I read that racking up credit card points to score free airfare and hotel stays was quite easy, thanks to a strategy called churning. And I proved it.
I read that racking up credit card points to score free airfare and hotel stays was quite easy, thanks to a strategy called churning. And I proved it.
The score -- a huge shift from FICO -- will open up credit access to as many as 53 million consumers who do not have credit scores or credit reports.
The law requires credit bureaus to show you your credit report for free -- but not your credit score. Here's a way to get around that for just a buck.
Another financial crisis is looming, with the rise of HELOCs and the disappearance of problems from credit reports, seven years after they occurred.
Seemingly minor issues on your credit report could hurt your credit. Check carefully -- you're among the 73% who actually check your credit report, right?
On-time rent payments are not included in your credit score, but late payments are. That said, renters need to build -- and use -- a great credit score.
A new report subtitled "How Secret Consumer Scores Threaten Your Privacy and Your Future" reveals how much data about you is crunched in so many ways.
Interest rates have risen a bit, but they're still historically low, so refinancing your home remains a smart move. But don't fall into these traps when you do it.
After years of suffering, consumer credit is gaining giant momentum, and eager lenders aren't relying solely on your traditional credit score. They need more than that.
If lenders and FICO start mining social media data to determine your credit score, you might want to think twice about becoming Facebook friends with everyone you meet.
If you pay your bills on time, you can improve your credit scores -- it can be that simple.
You probably know your credit rating affects the premiums your auto insurance company charges you for coverage. But how does that work, exactly? Let's draw back the curtain.
There's a lot of information and regulations behind consumers' credit scores. So, if a thing or two about yours has left you scratching your head, you're not alone.
The new credit score on the block, VantageScore 3.0., is a revamped version of the original VantageScore -- a generic credit scoring model that has been around since 2006.
You know your credit score gets checked when you apply for a credit card, a job, an apartment or a loan. But these days, even potential dates may be asking about your FICO.
We all know that red flags like late payments or have too many lines of credit can bring down your credit score. But there are other ways banks and lenders measure all of us that you probably don't know about. Adrian Nazari, CEO of CreditSesame.com, explains.
The student loan crisis may be even worse than it previously appeared: Not only are college students graduating with more debt than ever, but their risk of defaulting on their loans is higher than ever, a new study by FICO Labs reveals.
It's not hard to get copies of your credit report: You can even get them free from the major credit-reporting agencies. But each one of us has more than one credit score, and the one you're given may be very different from the ones lenders and other businesses actually use.
It has never been more important to have good credit, but it's no easy task to go against the ratings agencies when your credit report is wrong. Now though, you have an ally in your corner: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Credit reporting agencies will soon be subject to federal oversight for the first time. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced Monday that it will begin supervising the nation's biggest consumer reporting agencies this fall.
It's not just politics that defines the differences between Republican-leaning "red states" and Democrat-leaning "blue states" -- and some of those differences may surprise you. For example, when it comes to credit scores, blue states are where the smart money is.
Cheap credit is making a comeback, at least for some people: Credit card companies' fierce competition for new, low-risk customers has them ramping up their 0% interest rate offers again, and offering those teaser rates for longer. So if you have the FICO score to qualify, it's time to take advantage.
There must be something in the cheese: Four of the top 10 American cities for credit scores are in Wisconsin, and four more are in nearby Midwest states, according to a new analysis by Experian. But all is not sunny in the South, where the cities with the worst scores are concentrated.
It doesn't look like the housing market will come roaring back anytime soon, but with historically low interest rates, now's a good time to buy. The hard part is that banks in the post-bubble era are notoriously stingy with that cheap money, so figuring out how to get a smile out of a mortgage lender is task No. 1.
In these shaky economic times, your credit score carries more weight than ever, which means building a credit history is vital. Paying bills on time is one thing that buffs up your score, but until now, paying your rent meant nothing. Credit bureau Experian and RentReporters.com are changing that.
Have you ever been turned down for a loan? Had your credit line slashed or interest rate bumped up? Well, starting Thursday, banks and other lenders will be required tell you a bit more about why. The FTC and the Fed are implementing a new rule requiring lenders to show consumers the credit score data they used to make their decision.
You should always know what's in your credit report -- especially if you're planning any major purchases or intend to apply for a new job in the near future. But creditors and credit agencies aren't the only ones who can contribute to your report. You can have your say, too.
Too many of us rely on ballpark estimates to track our finances, but when it comes to money, there's no need to wing it: Several new online tools debuted at the Finovate Conference this week that can help take the guesswork out of figuring out how much you have, owe or are owed.
If you're looking for clues about what impacts your car insurance rates, check in the mirror -- it's mostly about you. And while there are some parts of your personal profile that you can't change, for many of the items that affect your premiums, you're in the drivers seat.
For years, renters who got behind on their housing payments could do so without worrying about the impact that a late payment would have on their...

Westwood Ironstone Bowl
for item
The bowl measures approximately 7 1/4" across. It was manufactured in Japan before the days of microwaves. The bottom says it is detergent proof and oven proof. There are no cracks or breaks, however, there is one tiny flake on the rim, fine crazing and a few small dark spots under the crazing on the exterior. There is a general crazing to the entire bowl - call me crazy, but I think the crazing just adds to the attractive vintage look. I need your zip code to calculate the postage.

After two years on injured reserve, running back Mario Fannin will not go to a third training camp with the Broncos.
The former Auburn running back was not at the team's Dove Valley complex Wednesday as the Broncos went through the third day of organized team activities (OTA). Fannin missed the 2011 season after suffering a knee injury in training camp and then missed the 2012 season after suffering an Achilles injury in training camp.
Fannin was formally waived Tuesday afternoon and is expected to clear waivers Wednesday. When he clears waivers he could sign with any team.
Fannin had intriguing size/speed numbers when he entered the 2011 draft after his final season at Auburn. He ran a 4.37 (hand-timed) 40-yard dash at 231 pounds during his workout at the 2011 scouting combine.

Yields on Italian bonds exceeded a key level of 7%, indicating that investors are losing confidence in the market. Yields jumped after Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi vowed to step down and LCH.Clearnet Group raised margins on the country's bonds. "The instability of Italy's political situation could increase market-anxiety levels before rates got even close to double digits, and at 7% or 8%, Italy could find it was unable to raise sufficient money on the bond market," said Laurence Boone, European economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. "In short, a confidence issue could turn into a liquidity issue."

When Does a Sippy Cup Go?
My twins are 2.5 and we will soon be dumping the sippys(pretty much alredy have). I've always aimed to dump the sippys by 3.
When they aren't spilling everywhere
It depends on the situation. My 4 year old still drinks out of a zippy cup but my 18 mo th old uses a cup without spilling. It just depends. If we are out and on the go they both get suply cups so they don't spill. If we are at home they both get cups. Even school aged kids have little cups with straws that could be considered sippy cups in their lunch boxes. I wouldn't worry too much about this as long as your child can drink out of a regular cup at a reasonable age.

In this lab, you will observe the process of osmosis and diffusion. You will also
learn how to calculate water potential. If you are not familiar with these concepts,
make sure that you have looked them up in your textbook. If you don't know what
these terms mean, this lab is not going to make sense to you.
1. Obtain 6 strips of dialysis tubing and tie an knot in one end of each.
Pour approxiamately 15-20 ml of each of the following solutions into separate bags.
Distilled Water | 0.4 M sucrose | 0.8 M sucrose |
0.2 M sucrose | 0.6 M sucrose | 1.0 M sucrose |
3. Remove most of the air from the bag (but leave a little bit of space) and tie the baggie.
4. Blot the bags to remove any sugar that may have spilled, check the bags for leaks.
Record the mass of each baggie in the data table.
Fill six beakers with enough distilled water to cover your bags. Place a bag in each one (keep track of which bag is in which beaker)
Let the bag sit for 20-30 minutes.
While this is running, set up potatoes for exercise 3.
-------- Make a prediction about what you think will happen.
Predict what you think will happen during the experiment.
(Think about which bags will lose water and which will gain water.)
8. After 20-30 minutes, remove the baggies from the water, and carefully blot dry and record the final weight.
9. To calculate: percent change in mass= (final mass-initial mass)/ initial mass. Then multiply answer by 100.
10. Gather the data from the other groups in the class and find the class average for each baggie.
Contents in Bag | Initial Mass | Final Mass | Mass Difference | Time in Beaker | % Change in Mass | Average |
Distilled Water | ||||||
11. Graph the results for both your individiual data and class average on on graph. The independent variable is on the X axis, and the dependent variable is on the Y axis
1. Explain the relationship between the change in mass and the molarity of sucrose within the dialysis bag.
2. Predict what would happen to the mass of each bag in this experiment if all the bags were placed in 0.4 M sucrose solution instead of distilled water. Explain your response.
3. Why did you calculate the percent change in mass rather than simply using the change in mass?
4. A dialysis bag is filled with distilled water and then placed in a sucrose solution. The bag's initial mass is 20 g, and its final mass is 18 g. Calculate the percent change of mass, showing your calculations.
5. Did you results match your predictions? Propose an explanation for why your results (either overall or an individual bag) may have differed from what you were expecting.
In animal cells, the movement of water into and out of the cell is influenced by the relative concentration of solute on either side of the cell membrane. If water moves out of the cell, the cell will shrink. If water moves into the cell, the cell may swell or even burst. In plant cells, the presence of a cell wall prevents the cells from bursting, but pressure does eventually build up inside the cell and affects the process of osmosis. When the pressure inside the cell becomes large enough, no additional water will accumulate in the cell even. So movement of water through the plant tissue cannot be predicted simply through knowing the relative solute concentrations on either side of the plant cell wall. Instead, the concept of water potential is used to predict the direction in which water will diffuse through living plant tissues.
In a general sense, the water potential is the tendency of water to diffuse from one area to another. Water potential is expressed in in bars, a metric unit of pressure equal to about 1 atmosphere and measured with a barometer.
Consider a potato cell is placed in pure water. Initally the water potential outside the cell is 0 and is higher than the water potential inside the cell. Under these conditions there will be a net movement of water into the cell. The pressure potential inside the cell will increase until the cell reaches a state of equilibrium.
1. Pour 100 mL of your assigned solution (it will be one of the six solutions listed above in Exercise 2) into a beaker. Slice a potato into 4 equal cylinders or slices.
2. Determine the mass of all 4 potato cylinders together and record.
3. Place the cylinders into the beaker with your assigned solution and cover with plastic wrap. Leave overnight.
4. Remove the cylinders from the beakers and record the mass. Determine the temperature of the room. ________
5. Complete the table and graph your results.
Contents in Bag | Initial Mass | Final Mass | Mass Difference | %Change in Mass |
Distilled Water | ||||
6. Determine the molar concentration of the potato cores. This would be the sucrose molarity in which the mass of the potato core does not change. To find this, draw the straight line on your graph that best fits your data. The point at which this line crosses the x axis represents the molar concentration of sucrose with a water potential that is equal to the potato tissue water potential. At this concentration, there is no net gain or loss of water from the tissue.
What is the Molar concentration of the cores? ___________
7. Calculate the solute potential ( Ψ ) for the sucose solution using the formula below. Show your work! ___________
Solute Potential Formula
Ψ = -iCRT
i = ionization constant (for sucrose, this is 1 because sucrose does not ionize in water)
C = molar sucrose concentration at equilibrium (determined from graph)
R = pressure constant (0.0831 liter bar/mole °K )
T = temperature °K (273 + °C )
8. Explain water potential and describe how it affects osmosis.
9. Explain how to determine the molarity of a potato.
10. Design an Experiment:
If you are given a solution of sucrose that has an unknown molarity (.2, .6, .8, 1.0), how could you use potatoes, distilled water, or other known solutions to determine the molarity of your unknown? - Be clear in your design, use another page and staple to this one.

Natural Fancy Purplish Pink Diamond Ring, 2.58 Carats
The unbelievably rare and awe-inspiring 2.58-carat Natural Fancy Purplish-Pink diamond at the center of this ring is a true show stopper. This pear-shaped blushing beauty of nature possesses the size, saturation and clarity to make it one of the rarest diamonds in the world. Fourteen round brilliant-cut white diamonds totaling 1.23 carats and 125 additional brilliant white diamonds weighing .67 carats adds a sparkling elegance to this perfectly pink wonder of Mother Nature.
This pink diamond is certified by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) to be a Natural Purplish-Pink diamond with SI1 clarity.
Natural fancy pink diamonds are so rare that most jewelers of fine gems could go their entire careers without even seeing one, much less owning one. Once a treasure reserved solely for royalty, natural fancy pink diamonds are worth approximately 20-times more than their white diamond counterparts, and are found in only a handful of mines, with the famed Argyle mine in Australia producing around 95% of all the pink diamonds in the world. Of the 80-million carats of diamonds excavated at Argyle, a mere .001% are fancy pink, weigh less than a carat, and equate to barely enough to fill the palm of your hand. Pink diamonds have increased in value by 20% every year since 1980. In 2004, Sotheby's New York sold a 1.23-carat Purplish-Pink diamond for $143,089 carats. When calculating the yearly increase, that would make that diamond worth over $600,000 today.

Reality came to Boot Hill Museum Tuesday when a television production company stopped by to film scenes for a new cooking program.
The show, "Just Chefs Race," pits a team of British chefs agains a team of United States chefs in a race across the country. The teams have to face culinary and financial challenges along the way in an effort to bring home the victory.
"We knew the production crew was coming to film the segment where they announce the next challenge," said Lara Brehm, executive director of the museum.
"But we didn't know the U.S. team would decide to stay here to complete their challenge."
The teams are headed to Wichita and then Oklahoma City as they compete, but the U.S. team, when they learned about the new challenge, decided to try their luck in Dodge City.
The challenge involved creating five typical British dishes using recipes provided by their opponents, finding food and finding a place to cook it, rounding up a crowd to come to the museum and selling the food they've prepared.
"We weren't able to use any way of recruiting people for them except word of mouth and a few e-mails to friends. No Facebook or Twitter," Brehm said.
In order to bring in customers, one member of the team borrowed a costume from the museum and hit the streets to drum up business.
Brian Weber, 119th District Representative, was among the locals who heard about the event and stopped by to try the food.
"I tried everything," Weber said in a phone interview Wednesday afternoon. "Some of it was great; some was unique."
For Weber the food was secondary.
"This was, in addition to a real good time, a chance to expose chefs from all over the country to Boot Hill and it will be a chance to show Boot Hill to the entire BBC America audience. Anytime we can get that kind of positive recognition, it's a good thing," he said.
Those who attended the event paid $18 for the opportunity to sample six typical British dishes prepared by the American team: fish and chips, steak and kidney pie, shepherd's pie, toad in the hole, spotted dick (a steamed pudding with dried fruit) and triffle.
Brehm, an admitted Food Network junkie, recognized at least three of the chefs from episodes of shows like "Chopped."
Brehm spent the day with the cast and crew of the show and learned a little something about how such shows are produced.
"They were all being filmed all day long," she said. "Everything is filmed; there are no breaks. Nothing goes on without being filmed."
The show will air on BBC America in the fall.
Page 2 of 2 - "The production team has promised us a complete press packet as the show gets ready to air," Brehm said.

Injustice: Gods Among Us is not without its problems, but that's something we'll be going further into with our review next week. Fans have been voicing their outrage over the lack of custom matches in particular, making it nearly impossible to play with friends. One fan took to Twitter, asking one of the developers at NetherRealm whether or not the Wii U version would be receiving patch support. Thankfully, that answer is yes.
@lslpr @noobde working on it. Thanks for your patience.

It's disheartening that the Wii U version of the game launched without this feature and NetherRealm has not offered the season pass DLC deal as it will to other consoles, but at least the developer isn't abandoning the game entirely.

The Cat, a high-speed catamaran run by Bay Ferries, will begin nonstop service between Portland, Maine, and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, on May 26. Previously, The Cat departed solely out of Bar Harbor, Maine, but will now divide its departure days between the two cities through October 16: Monday through Thursday from Bar Harbor, and Friday through Sunday from Portland.
Passengers departing from Portland can start exploring the province within five-and-a-half hours. If that seems like a long ride, there's plenty of onboard entertainment such as movies, a casino, a duty free shop, and a cafeteria.
The biggest benefit is accessibility. Before, visitors would have to make the trek to Bar Harbor, which takes about five hours by car from Boston, the biggest gateway city. Now, drive time will be cut down to about two hours.
One-way passenger fares cost $79 for adults, less for seniors and children. Kids under six are free. For round-trip weekend travelers, The Cat is offering special adult walk-on rates of $129 off-peak, $139 peak. Car passage starts at $129 one-way, plus a $25 fuel surcharge—bookings made by May 24 will save $15.
Bay Ferries also offers many value-added packages. Some include ferry fare and hotel stays. For those traveling from downtown Boston or Logan airport, The Cat has partnered with Amtrak and a local bus company to provide connecting service to the Portland ferry terminal. You can either package the transfer with ferry fare or book separately. The Cat conveniently lists appropriate schedules on its website so you won't miss the boat.
To book ferry service, or find more information on special packages, visit The Cat's website.
For more information on Nova Scotia, visit SmarterTravel.com's Nova Scotia Travel Guide, or read my account of riding The Cat and touring the province in A weekend in Nova Scotia for a light price.

Author Q&A with Sam Watters: Gardens for a Beautiful America
September 13, 2012Sam Watters |
Architectural and landscape design historian Sam Watters (New York and Los Angeles)
Architectural and landscape design historian Sam Watters discusses Gardens for a Beautiful America 1895–1935: Photographs by Frances Benjamin Johnston, his new book published in April 2012 by Acanthus Press, in collaboration with the Library of Congress. The book features 250 rare hand-colored photographs of gardens taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston (1864–1952), one of the first female photo-journalists, who rose to international prominence photographing presidents, well-known authors, and other tastemakers at the beginning of the 20th century. Much less well known is her role as a champion of the Garden Beautiful movement to restore beauty to an industrial America through garden design.
Gardens for a Beautiful America 1895-1935: Photographs by Frances Benjamin Johnston, 2012 (Acanthus Press) |
Designers & Books: Frances Benjamin Johnston was in demand as a lecturer on the movement to beautify America through garden design and horticulture, and her work was enthusiastically praised by Frederick Law Olmsted. How did someone once so acclaimed—someone who was described as "a force of nature"—become forgotten? And how did you come to be interested in her?
Sam Watters: Fame comes and goes with taste, but Johnston will always have a place in the history of photography as an early portraitist, architectural photographer, and photo-journalist. I became interested in Johnston through her portraits of Teddy Roosevelt's children with their pets at The White House.
D&B: What was the significance of gardens at the time when Johnston was photographing them? And what was there about Johnston and her approach to photography that made her such a natural ally for this subject matter?
SW: Gardens signified class and refinement to the rich seeking status in rough-edged, industrial America.
Johnston succeeded by mastering in photography the pictorial conventions understood—and expected—by her clients.
D&B: In your chapter titled "The Garden Photograph" you say, referring to Johnston's era, that "garden photography advanced with new camera technology." What technologies are you referring to? And how did the perception of photography as a science give way, while Johnston was practicing it, to that of a fine art?
Arcady, Montecito, California, 1917 |
SW: Portable glass plates and camera lenses that reduced distortion made possible Johnston's outdoor work. During her lifetime, garden photography, for the most part, remained a commercial art, despite Johnston's campaign for fame as a fine artist-photographer.
D&B: Since they are so important in Johnston's work, can you explain the basics of glass-plate lantern slides and how they were such a good technology match for her focus on gardens?
SW: Lantern slides are two, 3.25 x 4 inch glass plates, one clear and one with a photograph, taped together. Specialists colored the photo plate with watercolor or oil. Slides were didactic and magical as new media, ideal for Johnston's garden club patrons who wanted to study gardens and be entertained at lectures Johnston presented from New York to California.
D&B: You note that Johnston collected historic and contemporary books about American landscape design. What were some of these books?
SW: Her library included standards—the textbook, An Introduction to the Study of Landscape Design (1917)—and rarities—the theoretical An Essay on the Picturesque (1794). Books and on-the-ground experience taught Johnston how to photograph gardens.
D&B: Johnston's images, and the way they are reproduced in your book, are really stunning. Can you talk about a few of your favorites?
SW: Johnston produced each slide to make a point. The Charles C. Marshall Townhouse stairway garden in New York answered the question: "How does a successful city gardener hide the daily wash?"

The image of the Wellington S. Morse House Terrace Gate, in Pasadena, California, shows a modern-day secret garden pictured with the poetic convention of the closed door.

As a social progressive who thought that gardens of the poor could be as beautiful as gardens of the rich, Johnston compared this janitor's basement in New York to Long Island estates.

Johnston's photograph of an iris border in Washington, D.C., illustrates the tradition that Lady Bird Johnson later made famous—your tax dollars can green America.

D&B: How hard was it from a print production perspective to achieve the color quality in the book? Were any special processes involved?
SW: Two issues guided Photoshop artists and printer proofing: how to reproduce colors to reflect the luminosity of projected slides, and how to minimize the black-and-white cast of the underlying photographic plate, which would not have been distinct to Johnston's audiences.
Beacon Hill, Arthur Curtiss James House, Newport Rhode Island, 1914. Blue Garden, view to pergola |
D&B: What is your favorite France Benjamin Johnston quote?
SW: "What must be the sensations of a visiting Martian, when after thrilling to the matchless beauty of the New York skyline… [he sees] the squalor and sordidness of many of our city districts…?" (1922).
D&B: With your helping to rekindle interest in Johnston, what will be the significance of her rediscovery?
SW: The garden photographer played a role in defining American landscape design.
D&B: Are you working on a new book?
Thornewood, Chester Thorne House, Lakewood, Washington, 1923. View to house from flower garden |
SW: Yes, on my grandfather, the avant-garde writer and musician—a Gertrude Stein favorite—Bravig Imbs.

Steadfastness and Confrontation Front
This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2011) |
The Steadfastness and Confrontation Front (Arabic: جبهة الصمود والتصدي) was a 1970s political initiative relating to the Arab-Israeli conflict. It was supported by a number of Arab governments.
The Steadfastness and Confrontation Front was formed in 1977 by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)and the governments of Libya, Algeria, Syria and South Yemen. It was intended as a protest and a show of position after President Anwar Sadat of Egypt had travelled to Tel Aviv to meet Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and begin the peace negotiations that would eventually lead to the Camp David Accords. This Egyptian initiative was widely seen in the Arab world as an abandonment of the previously-agreed principle of withholding recognition of Israel and as breaking the Arab alliance against Israel.
The Front affirmed its rejection of United Nations Security Council resolutions 242 and 338 and reiterated the unwillingness to recognize Israel or negotiate with it as regards a Palestinian state. It also condemned every Arab government who did not join it; called for a boycott of Egypt; emphasized the ties between Syria and the Palestinians; and recognized the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic as sovereign over Western Sahara.
The Front did not explicitly call for Israel's destruction, but repeated the PLO's Ten Point Program calling for a Palestinian state on "any part of Palestinian land ... as an interim aim of the Palestinian Revolution". This had been interpreted, at least inside the PLO, as a step towards a two-state solution and was highly controversial among Palestinians.
Rejectionist Front[edit]
The Steadfastness and Confrontation Front should not be confused with the Rejectionist Front, a gathering of radical Palestinian factions outside the framework of the PLO. These factions had left the PLO after Fatah pushed through the Ten Point Program in 1974. The Steadfastness and Confrontation Front and its conflict with Egypt assisted in healing the rift between the PLO leadership and those supporting the Rejectionist Front.

Pedro's Hotel
For rates, enter dates/guests
Lonely Planet review
The cheapest budget option on the island, Pedro's is a longtime San Pedro party hotel favorite. The best deal at Pedro's is the brand-spanking new deluxe annex, which has 12 rooms featuring flat screen TVs with 110+ channels, air-con and en-suite bathrooms with hot showers. The slightly older hotel is a bargain, offering affordable wood-paneled rooms with air-con and hot water. The original 'hostel' has cell-like rooms with thin walls and shared (cold-water) bathrooms. Either way, you can lounge in hammocks, swim and sunbathe in the sweet pool, play poker and eat pizza at the sports bar on site, and sleep easy knowing you are saving your money for drinking and diving (and other important things). Pedro's also offers a money back guarantee on tours booked through the hotel, to wit: "if the tour isn't as good as we say it is, we will refund your money."
Our independent authors have visited Pedro's Hotel and selected this as one of our recommended hotels in Ambergris Caye.
Description provided by property
Pedro's Hotel is located just 150 metres from the beach in San Pedro, on Belize's Ambergris Caye Island. It offers 2 outdoor pools, and free rental of kayaks and snorkelling equipment.
The air-conditioned rooms at Pedro's feature flat-screen cable TV and a private bathroom with bath. Some rooms have free Wi-Fi, and DVD players are available on request.
The hotel has the Pedro's Sports Pub and Pizzeria which serves pizza and other international dishes. There is also a bar with a pool table. In the garden there are hammocks, and you can hire bicycles and golf carts from reception. The multilingual staff can also help plan trips and activities during your stay.
You can walk to central San Pedro in 12 minutes from Pedro's Hotel. The surrounding area is a popular destination for scuba diving and other water sports.

One summer I was lucky enough to find a dumpster full of mat board of all colors from a frame shop that was going out of business. The dumpster had no other trash and was quite clean. I chopped up the mat into 1/2 inch squares and we made wonderful mosaics. Now I hit up all the frame shops for scrap!

Always handle boiling water with extreme care to avoid getting burned. Adult assistance is required.
Water will come to boil more quickly at lower temperatures at higher altitudes.
Boiling Point A liquid will start to boil when the temperature of the liquid reaches a point where the pressure of the vapor from the liquid equals the pressure of the surrounding air. A liquid placed in vacuum will boil at lower temperatures than in normal conditions. Different liquids will have different boiling temperatures. When water is boiled at higher altitudes above sea level, it will boil at lower temperatures. For example, water will boil at only 69°C on top of Mount Everest compared to 100°C at sea level. This is because, at higher altitudes, the air pressure is lower and therefore evaporation happens at lower temperatures. Adding salt, sugar or other substances to water will usually increase its boiling temperature. This will be useful, for example, when boiling you need to boil water at higher altitudes and would like to attain a higher temperature to ensure that microorganisms in the water are killed.
The materials required for this science fair project: - 1 high rise building at least 50 storeys high - 1 hot plate - 1 stove - 8 beakers - 1800ml water - 1 air-conditioned room - 1 thermometer
1. For this science fair project, the independent variables are the conditions for boiling the water - different amounts of water, diffenent types of heating devices, different room temperatures and different floor level of a building. The dependent variable is the boiling temperature of water. This is determined by measuring the temperature using the thermometer. The constants (control variables) are the beaker used to contain the water, the impurities in the water and the heating capacity of the stove and hot plate. 2. The science project experiment is done in 4 stages to compare the boiling point of water : a. using different amounts of water, b. using different types of heating devices, c. using different room temperatures, d. test at different floors of a high rise building to ensure that the air pressure is different. 3. For the 1st experiment, 2 beakers are used. The amount of water poured into each beaker is 200ml and 400ml. The water is boiled on a hot plate and the boiling temperature is recorded . The measurements are recorded in the table below. 4. For the 2nd experiment, 2 beakers are each filled with 200ml water. One of the beakers is heated up on the hot plate and the other beaker is heated on the stove. The boiling temperatures are measured and recorded in the table below. 5. For the 3rd experiment, another 2 beakers are filled with 200ml water each. The room temperature is brought to 18°C and the water is boiled on the hot plate and the temperature is recorded. The room temperature is then adjusted to 28°C and the water in the 2nd beaker is brought to boil on the hot plate and the temperatures are recorded in the table below. 6. The 4th experiment is carried out in a high rise building. 200ml water is filled into the 1st beaker and brought to a boil using the hot plate, on the ground floor. The 2nd beaker is filled with 200ml water and taken to the 50th floor of the building and brought to boil using the hot plate. Both temperature measurements are recorded in the table below.
It is observed that the water boiled at 0.5 ° C lower on the 50th floor of the building. For all the other conditions, the boiling point of water was the same.

The chart below represents the results of our science experiment.
The hypothesis that water will come to boil more quickly at lower temperatures at higher altitudes, has been proven to be correct.
What would happen if the science fair project were to be repeated on a rainy day instead of a hot sunny day? The science project can also be modified to observe the effects of different concentrations of salt on the boiling temperature of water.

Building materials prices in Middle East witness 15 per cent rise in April 2009
The prices of various building materials in the Middle East have risen by as much as 15 per cent in April 2009 as compared to the first quarter, with the price of steel witnessing the steepest hike from USD 430 to USD 500 per tonne. In line with this, Danube Building Materials, the leader in construction, building materials and shop fitting industries, has revealed its optimism about the positive effects of the major correction phase that is sweeping the entire Middle East construction market, which is an indication that the industry is reshaping to take on a stronger stance towards recovery. Company officials also disclosed that they have observed increased buying activity within the building materials sector in April.
The price hike, which is expected to encourage a more upbeat trade atmosphere in the market, is the result of the increase in building material imports following a slowdown in regional orders from October 2008 to February 2009 due to overstocking. According to the latest price indexes maintained by Danube, products whose prices jumped since last month include medium density fibreboards (MDFs), which currently wholesale at USD 220 per cu. m. from USD 200 in March; and white wood, which rose by 10 per cent to USD 210 per cu. m. from USD 190. In addition, freight costs have also increased from USD 300 to USD 650 for a 20-feet container in March, while a 40-feet container now costs USD 800 from previous rates of USD 550.
"The current correction in the real estate and property sectors is driving the shift in the prices of construction materials, which will eventually lead to a healthier market with more stable growth opportunities in the future," said Rizwan Sajan, Chairman, Danube Building Materials. "As the market leader, we have identified that today's market scenario gives us an exceptional opportunity to supply our top-quality products to support the continuous construction of major projects and developments across the region. We are also anticipating further increases until prices reach a stable level."
Danube's price index also revealed that average rates for the most basic building materials are as follows: steel props at AED 45 per piece, cement at AED 16 per bag, clear float glass (6mm) at AED 23 per sq. m., and aluminum profiles at AED 19 per kilogram. A survey of the prices of imported wood products have also reflected a dip, with scaffolding planks sold at an average of AED 55 per piece, while Red Meranti from West Malaysia selling at AED 2,750 per tonne, European Whitewood at AED 925 per cu. m., Russian Beech wood at AED 2,750 per cu. m. and KINGPLUS Film Faced plywood at AED 125 per sheet.
"Our recent foray into steel, aluminum and glass manufacturing puts us in a strategic position to maximise the movement in market prices of these products and thereby drive our growth amidst the challenges of the global economic crisis. Through our plans to further expand our operations and product offerings, we are hoping to do our part in pushing the growth of both the construction and real estate sectors," concluded Sajan.
Danube operates from its head offices in Dubai - a 285,000 square foot facility in Jafza north and 365,000 square foot area in Jafza south. The company offers top-quality products including medium density fibreboards (MDFs), plywood boards, timber, veneers, laminates, cladding, steel, kitchen and sanitary wares, glass, hardware, electrical, aluminum, doors, floorings, adhesives, ceilings, paints, edge bondings, fire solutions, and high quality construction tools.

LOUISVILLE, K.Y. —Dan Johnson hit a two-run home run in the top of the 10th inning as the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders defeated Louisville 6-5 Friday night.
The 10-inning contest came a night after the RailRiders played the longest game in the team's history, defeating Toledo 2-1 Thursday night in 20 innings at PNC Field.
The Bats (54-54) struck first in the bottom of the third inning with runs scored by Denis Phipps, Billy Hamilton and Josh Fellhauer to make it a 3-0 game.
In the top of the fourth the Randy Ruiz and Brendan Harris each scored for the RailRiders (52-54) to close the gap to a 3-2 game. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre would also get runs from Corey Patterson and Ronnier Mustelier in the top of the fifth inning to give them the 4-3 lead.
The Bats tied the game at 4-4 with a run in the eighth
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Louisville continue their series today at 7:05 p.m. at Louisville Slugger Field.
RailRiders beat Toledo in 20 innings on Thursday
The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders set a franchise record with a five-hour, 26-minute game that ended with a Randy Ruiz walk-off homer for a 2-1 victory over the Toledo Mud Hens at PNC Field Thursday night.
Eight RailRiders pitchers combined on the triumph, with Jim Miller (1-5) getting his first win of the season. He and Josh Spence combined to retire the last 13 Mud Hens (46-61) that came to the plate. The RailRiders split their four-game series with Toledo.
Ruiz used a first-pitch swing for his 13th home run of the season, leading off the 20th inning against reliever Justin Souza (0-1).
The game's only other runs came in the seventh. With two outs, Toledo's Mike Cervenak doubled and Danny Dorn followed with a high fly to right. Right fielder Cody Grice lost the ball in the heavens and it fell behind him for a run-scoring triple. In the bottom half of the inning, Grice bashed a hard grounder for a single off of Cervenak at third base and later scored on Adonis Garcia's single.
