LM Otero, Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Confidence among U.S. homebuilders rose this month to its highest level in six years and many expect the housing recovery will strengthen in the next six months.
The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index released Tuesday increased to 40 in September. That's up from 37 in August and the highest reading since June 2006, just before the housing bubble burst.
Any reading below 50 indicates negative sentiment about the housing market. The index hasn't reached that level since April 2006, the peak of the housing boom.
Still, a measure of builders' outlook for sales in the next six months rose to 51. That's up from 43 in August and also the highest level since June 2006.
Builders also reported seeing the best sales level since July 2006, while turnout by prospective buyers returned to levels not seen since May 2006.
The survey, which is based on responses from 445 builders, has been trending higher since October. After a dismal 2011, homebuilders have seen their fortunes begin to turn around this year as the housing market recovery has steadily gained momentum.
Sales of newly built homes are running ahead of last year, when they sank to the lowest level in a half-century. Sales of previously occupied homes also are up from a year ago. And home prices are increasing more consistently, in part because the supply of homes has shrunk and foreclosures have eased.
Mortgage rates remain near record lows, beckoning potential buyers with good credit.
The positive trends have helped bolster optimism that the U.S. housing market may finally be on track for a sustainable recovery.
Even so, the housing market isn't expected to recover fully until job growth improves and the unemployment rate, now at 8.1 percent, declines further.
In addition, a weakening economy in Europe and the possibility that U.S. lawmakers may fail to reach a budget deal in coming weeks could damage the U.S. economy. And that could keep would-be homebuyers on the sidelines.
Though new homes represent less than 20 percent of the housing sales market, they have an outsize impact on the economy. Each home built creates an average of three jobs for a year and generates about $90,000 in tax revenue, according to the NAHB's data.

Sergey Stanishev to Seek Re-election as PES Leader
The outgoing Bulgarian Socialist Party leader Sergrey Stanishev who was elected MEP said he would not seek appointment as the Bulgarian European commissioner, reports Dnevnik.bg.
He, however, announced his ambitions to seek re-election as head of the Party of European Socialists (PES) in 2015, instead.
According to members of the BSP executive bureau, Stanishev said the commissioner was a "highly paid bureaucratic position".
Stanishev, who ran for MEP and for months claimed he would not go to the European Parliament, eventually had a change of heart several weeks ago and became an MEP. Last week he said he will resign as BSP leader in the end of July.

Sergey Stanishev is an able politician and him getting re-elected will be good for Bulgarias image in Europe.
Plus because he was born in the Ukraine it will serve the EUs interest to have a Ukranian by birth in a senior position in the EU.
As leader of PES he will have a big role in European Politics.
Optimistic with a full stop please get your own name.
There is no way the PES will re-elect that commie parasite Stanishev after the scandals he and his "wife" have become embroiled in combined with his status as the perennial loser of Bulgarian politics.

Nov 2, 2010This was a fairly trite and predictable story in my view. A real dissapoint after watching Edward scissorhandy. You get the feeling that burton has sold out. These kind of mythic, sweeping movies have the same feel as forest gump. They are all too transparent with their message and leave nothing to the imagination. The characters are not believable and it feels an hour too long.
MatthewT.Jan 11, 2004This movie is racist. A father knows all sorts of cool, weird, wonderful friends, but never brings them home to introduce them to his son. Why? Because the cool friends are of a different size/race/culture/species from his white, middle-class suburban family. This is the essence of American racism--you can have fun with people who are different from you--you can even father children with This movie is racist. A father knows all sorts of cool, weird, wonderful friends, but never brings them home to introduce them to his son. Why? Because the cool friends are of a different size/race/culture/species from his white, middle-class suburban family. This is the essence of American racism--you can have fun with people who are different from you--you can even father children with them, ala Strom Thurmond or Thomas Jefferson--but you can never, NEVER invite them into your home. Big Fish is not just a bad movie, but an evil movie for giving voice to that kind of sentiment in this year, in this century, in this millenium. Tim Burton should be ashamed of himself--if you heard his NPR interview with Elvis Mitchell, you know he already is. … Expand
MovieguyCinemaJan 20, 2004A nauseating and ridiculous lousy david lynch imitation, utterly meaningless pretentious garbage that is both boring and sickening a the same time.
BlytheM.Feb 13, 2004Boring from the moment it came on the screen. I left after 20 minutes. Didn't care about anyone, wasn't drawn in by the story about stories.
JakeS.Feb 7, 2004How can you like a movie when you hate the main character?! Burton, through the character of Edward Bloom (played by Finney and McGregor), takes the "father know's best" adage a step to far, and instead we have a movie which is condescending and irritating. I felt bad for the son, and not the lying father. The visuals are nice though, hence the 1.
RicoMay 5, 2004This movie tries too hard to be magical and ends up falling flat. The charm seems forced through no fault of the excellent cast. Tim Burton has been making some stinkers lately.
SuzanneD.Dec 13, 2003What a letdown....I went in expecting to love this film and I was really disappointed. It is very dull thruout and not at all up to Burtons capabilities.
HughM.Jan 9, 2004Big disappointment! I kept waiting for something interesting to happen, but it never did. Good actors wasted...did Jessica Lange speak, I don't recall.
BradleyW.Dec 11, 2003Sorry folks, this film is a clunker. long and terribly boring...just couldnt keep me interested in the few imaginative parts.
DevonP.Dec 12, 2003Yawn. What a turkey. I am a huge fan of Tim Burton and all of the actors, but it was like going to the dentist, except when I left I didn't have a good taste in my mouth. Half the audience walked out. People on airplanes are gonna walk out, rent Edward Scissorhands, instead.
Awards & Rankings
The movie is a gently overstuffed cinematic piñata, crammed with tall tales -- with giants and circuses and fairy-tale woods, plus a huge squirmy catfish, all served up with a literal matter-of-fact fancy that is very pleasing.
A tale that's so enriching, so heartwarming, so funny, so touching and so breathtaking, you'll wonder why the king of wackiness didn't branch out sooner.
A misfire. The film that wants to be lighter than air instead crashes to earth with the swiftness of a concrete parachute.

The anabolic effects of testosterone and AAS promote protein and collagen synthesis, and increase muscle size and bone metabolism. Androgenic effects are most evident in the adolescent male and elicit the onset of secondary male characteristics in hair pattern growth, sebaceous gland activity and maturation of sperm and libido. Testosterone exerts its androgenic effect via the androgen receptor in target tissue. It may be reduced to 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone, which binds more avidly to the androgen receptor than testosterone. It may also be aromatised to estradiol, causing water retention, breast tissue growth and body fat deposition.
Steroids are perhaps a bit less vilified today and have in fact been inducted into the modern American lexicon, kursas trenbolone. Baseball is boring again, trenbolone kursas. And any time any athlete ever does anything noteworthy it will automatically be assumed that he's "on steroids. Part of the reason for that is the high degree of chemical engineering going on today that was extremely rare just a few years ago. Designer labs are certainly the new frontier.

Two penalties secured the Wallabies a dour 6-0 win over France to claim their three-Test series in Melbourne on Saturday.
Bernard Foley and Nic White landed the points in a grimly-fought second half after it finished 0-0 at half-time.
The match reached no great heights as Australia played for field position with kicks in the second half to capitalise on French ill-discipline to claim victory.
But it was a much more committed effort from France, who made 10 changes after losing the opening Test 50-23 in Brisbane last weekend.
Dreadful handling cost Les Bleus their chance of winning their first match in Australia in 24 years as they frittered away the limited possession they had in an ugly second half.
The French had never failedse to score against Australia in a Test.
France had the better chances in a scoreless opening 40 minutes and Wallabies' fly-half Foley beat full back Brice Dulin to ground the ball in a chase after a kick in the opening minutes as the French went on the offensive from the kick-off.
Dulin missed a penalty attempt from halfway after James Horwill was penalised in a ruck.
No.8 Ben McCalman had a try disallowed for the Wallabies midway through the way when Matt Toomua was judged to have made contact with Dulin in chasing his kick over the French try-line.
Scrum-half Morgan Parra missed France's second penalty attempt before flanker Yannick Nyanga charged down Toomua's clearing kick only to go into touch inside the Wallabies' quarter.
Coach Ewen McKenzie kept the Wallabies out on the pitch for his halftime team talk, while the French went into the dressing room to hear from coach Philippe Saint-Andre.
Scrum-half White missed Australia's first shot at goal minutes after half-time and he had another penalty attempt minutes later which hit an upright and into into Sekope Kepu's hands but the French defence held firm.
Foley finally broke the deadlock with a penalty in the 53rd minute after No.8 Damien Chouly was ruled offside as Australia attacked inside France's quarter.
White kicked the Wallabies six points clear with 15 minutes left after Antonie Burban was penalised as McKenzie brought on Kurtley Beale and Pat McCabe to liven up the attack.
English referee Wayne Barnes lost patience with the French consistently conceding penalties and yellow-carded replacement forward Bernard Le Roux, leaving France a man down for much of the final 10 minutes.
But the Wallabies failed to finish off the French with the killer try despite their dominant possession and playing field position with kicks in the second half.

Thomas K. McCraw was a professor emeritus at Harvard Business School and the author, most recently, of "The Founders and Finance: How Hamilton, Gallatin, and Other Immigrants Forged a New Economy." Mr. McCraw died on Nov. 3.
THE staggering deficit. The possibility of impending tax hikes and significant budget cuts by the end of the year. Has the United States ever faced such a daunting financial crisis?
Yes — though not, as many might guess, during the Great Depression. Rather, it was shortly after the nation's birth. It's an experience worth examining, because the way the new country put its house in order under Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton holds several lessons for today.
The Revolutionary War left America immersed in debt. Ratification of the Constitution in 1788 finally gave the federal government the authority to tax, but almost all federal tax revenues came from duties on imported goods.
And yet Hamilton, who took office in 1789, deliberately avoided prolonged fights over tax policy, which he knew he couldn't win. Indeed, his thinking perfectly describes the political situation today: "To extinguish a Debt which exists and to avoid contracting more are ideas almost always favored by public feeling and opinion, but to pay Taxes for the one or the other purpose, which are the only way of avoiding the evil, is always more or less unpopular." Could there be a better description of today's partisan intransigence toward adding a single tax dollar to federal revenues?...

Updated Google Maps Integrates Google Earth and a Slew of Awesome Features
by Meghan Neal
Google's annual developer conference, Google I/O, just wrapped up for the afternoon in San Francisco, but not before introducing dozens of new features that promise the future of technology.
One of the most wowing is the redesign of Google Maps for desktop. The user interface has basically been re-imaged "from the ground up." The ambitious goal is to make a robust, real-time, personalized map for everyone.
The new map feature builds in Google Earth (with real-time clouds!) and Street View for even better navigation, highlights local businesses (plus reviews) and makes recommendations based on what your friends like.
Check out an interview with the lead designer via TechCrunch for more details, or see for yourself in the preview version here and in this video:

From the Back Cover
Forced to flee Scotland and forfeit the chieftainship of his clan, renegade Reid
MacGregor prospers as a fortune hunter in the rich waters of the Caribbean. But there are two treasures he has yet to claim--the lost library of an ancient Mayan priestess and the wild lass he left behind.
Mary-Robena Wallace is a member of the rebellious MacGregor clan and a warrior in her own right. Desperate to free her clan from the cruelty of their king, she raids the borders alongside her kinsmen...until the devilishly handsome man from her past returns with an offer she's hard-pressed to refuse.
Reid promises gold in exchange for her expertise as a cave diver to locate a treasure in the Caribbean--but they both know he's after something more. They strike a deal to save her clan, but the fruits of an exotic paradise and the sinful kiss of a traitorous rogue force her to choose between returning to Scotland, or surrendering to the Caribbean Scot.

Good support team and good app
I have the payed version of this plugin and it works very well. Support was nos as efficient as I would like to. It took more than 48h to answer an urgent question, but once they did it was very fast, they were polite and solved it well.
In any case I definitely recommend.
Could be a five star review if they apply my suggestion to the plugin. :-) The support is a little unstable.... But the Gallery Bank-plugin delivers and looks great!
...works perfectly,
sometimes I wish more setting options and to wipe a slideshow.
Support great
Plugin is simple to use and dies everything we were looking for.
Had some problems with our configuration at first, but the Tech Banker support was very helpful and got things working quickly.
I bought the pro license and I'm almost happy with this plug in. Here is what I would love to see in the future:
I would like to have retina support for my thumbnails and also I would like to have some other sorting options for Images inside an Album. There is actually an option to sort my images by date but then all my new uploaded images appear in the end. I would like to have my new images displayed at the top of the masonry layout.
Another problem I see currently is the following: It is possible to have a filter for my categories which displays correctly, BUT if I click on a thumbnail, it opens the lightbox and switch to next slide, it's unfiltered again. For example I have three categories for my pictures, a), b) and c). If i click to filter only pictures from category a) and open the lightbox for a picture, the next picture which shows inside the lightbox can also be from b) and c) and not only from category a)..
The last point is the following: If I click a category on the filter part, the pictures start moving as they should. At the end of this animation when all the other pictures have sorted out, the pictures start shaking like crazy for half a second.
The rest is perfect, like I said, i'm almost happy :P
I would recommend it to everyone if these issues would be fixed!
BTW: I'm using Safari Version 8.0.3 on Mac Book Retina running 10.10.2
Thank you in advance!
I'm really pleased with how this gallery works. Their support was very friendly, though it did take several days to get a response.
This is a great Gallery Plugin... it has a lot of functionality at the same time.. would like to see more ... but i think that is because this is my first day using it and i already am loving it.. the Fact that you can play around with SEO optimization and have all the albums on the same page with Tags and descriptions is great...
I have the PRO EDITION...
Thanks for all.

Each tube is enough for about 4 fl oz of cream or lotion at 5% concentration (6 g in 120 mL cream) and can be combined with our other actives. The powder will not dissolve immediately, but will release components slowly into the cream or lotion. Use in your favorite cream or add to our Canvas Base Cream or European Cream.
For the best skin lightening results, we suggest a concentration of 1.5% (1.8 gm) in 4 oz of cream working synergistically with other skin lighteners like our Kojic Acid Dipalmitate, Betulinic Acid, and Niacinamide. The different actives will target different steps of the melanin synthesis and delivery pathway.
Arbutin (a.k.a. beta arbutin, ursine) is a glycosylated hydroquinone present in the leaves of the Bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) and responsible for the skin lightening properties of the plant extract. Just like hydroquinone, the shape of arbutin resembles the amino acid tyrosine enough to "fool" tyrosinase, the enzyme that catalyzes the first transformation of tyrosine into melanin. Inhibition of the enzyme in this way is called "competitive" because the false substrate, arbutin, competes with the real one, tyrosine, for the active site of the enzyme.
Arbutin is also an antioxidant, alleviating oxidative stress responses such as leukocyte infiltration and hydrogen peroxide generation by chemical agents.

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
Rumors are great when they're good and this is one of them. "Justin Bieber Burns Undies." Sounds bizarre but that's exactly what various celebrity gossip sites reported a magazine published from an inside source.The inside source is supposed to be a bodygaurd of the petite singer's.
Bieber himself even tweets about the rumor, which claims he has his bodyguard burn his underwear in an incinerator every day. The story continues the mega-star started doing this ever seen they caught someone who worked at a hotel he was staying at take tryingto smuggle his underwear out in her purse. It's hard to say which part of this story is craziest: the bodiyguard having to burn young Bieber's undies or a woman sstuffing them in her purse.
The 17-year-old pop star got a good laugh, tweeting, "I have had alot of rumors...but THIS...THIS IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!! Hahaha."

Esquire's Salary Based Suit Buying Guide - Page 5post #61 of 1089/26/12 at 5:57pmpost #62 of 1089/26/12 at 7:18pm
We're here for the same reason...because we like wasting time on stupid things. I'm not a troll. I meant everything that I said in that post. Esquire said that I should spend $1,500 per suit because of my income. I disagreed and gave me $0.02, and that made me a troll? The only obvious thing here is how much of a sheep you are.post #63 of 1089/26/12 at 7:22pmQuote:Originally Posted by jrd617
For those that are following along, Esquire recommends that you spend about 2 cents on suits for each dollar you earn. So much wisdom! The editorial board did an excellent job selecting suits to stick to this roughly linear relationship.
Salary Suit Cost Percent of Pre-Tax Salary
$30,000 $500 1.67% Kenneth Cole
$50,000 $1,000 2.00% Abboud
$70,000 $1,500 2.14% Hugo Boss diffusion
$100,000 $2,000 2.00% Paul Smith diffusion
$150,000 $3,000 2.00% Zegna mainline
$500,000 $7,000 1.40% Attolini
Also, it's important to note that one attains "Big Timer" status when one hits the $150k salary mark. At that point, you can start buying Zegna mainline. I myself have been able to make this leap, and haven't looked back since. Can't believe I started out as a scrub with a closet full of KC, Abboud, and Hugo Boss diffusion line suits!!!!
Can't wait to hit $500k and purchase my first Attolini!!!!
This is hilarious! I lol-edpost #64 of 1089/26/12 at 7:25pm

The problem with this article is that it's written with no regard to idea that your profession, not your income, weighs more heavily on how much $ one would need to spend on suits. For simplicity, we need to assume that demand is driven by work requirements, and not style or choice, otherwise it would be impossible to categorize people and write the article in the first place. Most Americans that work in an office do not wear a suit, especially someone making 30k. Therefore, he has the option to, and he should, invest in 2 quality suits rather than buying a handful of 4-$500 suits. A man should not be spending more money on suits simply because he has more money, and he should not be buying cheap suits simply because he has less money (unless he is legitimately poor and desperately needs a suit). If you can afford a $500 suit, you can likely afford to save a little longer and buy a quality suit for just a few hundred dollars more, or you could thrift one. The whole piece is just a big pile of shit, really. There isn't a single applicable or helpful tidbit to be found. It is an advertisement, and a window through which readers can gawk at what others making more than them have access to, although I'm sure they consider it helpful to their readers on some level.
Well said.post #66 of 1089/27/12 at 3:01ampost #67 of 1089/27/12 at 3:04amQuote:
Can't tell if your post is tongue-in-cheek or not... but $150k in NYC or SF is not that much money. In Russelville, Kentucky on the other hand? You're livin' large.

Why do you think you can get a few suits that fit better than a $1500 suit? You don't even have a specific $1500 suit in mind, so I'm not sure how you think your $500 suits will fit better. $1500 will get you a nice MTM suit, which will fit way better than anything off-the-rack.post #70 of 1089/27/12 at 7:47am

What's with the furniture in the pictures? One has a sideways table, one has a sideways couch, one has a chair on top of a desk.
I guess the moral of the article is that, independent of salary range, some people are just way too trendy and hip to to be using furniture the way it was intended to be used.post #71 of 1089/27/12 at 7:51am

You can get a good mtm for about $500. I have a shxtload of them. They can look just as good as a more expensive mtm. In my post, I meant $1,500 otr's though.post #75 of 1089/28/12 at 9:07pm

Historical Traveler Reviews Quimby House Inn Bar Harbor
Awesome Stay!
This is our third year coming to Bar Harbor and staying at The Quimby House Inn. The hosts are wonderful people and have truly gone out of their way to make our visits enjoyable. They are very knowledgeable and most helpful at referals ranging from dining to area attractions and activities.
The rooms at The Inn are quiet, beautifully decorated, spacious and immaculate. We would definately recommend this Inn.
A Quiet Stay
My wife and I returned for a visit to the Bar Harbor area for the first time in 6 years, and we decided to stay at the Quimby House Inn. W e booked a room in advance, and they put us in the annex. We found our room to be a bit "cozy", but clean and comfortable, which is what's really important to us! The hosts were warm and welcoming, and we didn't have any problems with parking, noisy guests or traffic sounds. We had driven up from the Kittery area (4+ hours), so we were ready for some rest and relaxation and certainly received that,and more. We recommend the Quimby House if you stay in Bar Harbor!
Great place!
Stayed here for an anniversary get-away on a Saturday night and were amazed by the room we got. For a very reasonable price (with AAA discount also) we got a king size bed surrounded by beautiful furniture. There was a seperate living room with a very good qualtity TV, DVD player, and mini-fridge that held more than we would ever need.
Quimby house is in a great location and within walking distance to 4-6 nice, diverse restaurants and a full grocery store. DVD's can be rented at the grocery store for a very good price, even if you are a tourist.
Front desk was quick to answer any questions and make up a fresh pot of coffee at request in the morning. Off-street parking for all guests so you aren't stuck driving around town looking for a decent spot.
Recommended for couples, families, adventure seekers, or those just hoping to relax in luxury for a few days.
Home away from Home
We have a stayed at Quimby NUMEROUS times over the past few years. Tom & Gail couldnt be better hosts. The rooms are as immaculate and as clean as the beautiful grounds behind the Inn. Tom & Gail really go out of their way to make us feel at home whenever we vist. I proposed to my wife nearby and just returned from our honeymoon which of course, we spent at the Quimby. The rates are great, rooms are clean and all within walking distance of downtown. Wouldnt even consider staying anywhere else. I've recommended Quimby to many co workers and friends.
Wonderful accommodations
We just returned from a fun-filled 3-night stay at the lovely Quimby House Inn in Bar Harbor, Maine. The Inn is very clean and comfortable and offers quiet, spacious rooms at an affordable price. (I found it in AAA book with 3 diamonds.) The Inn's owners and staff are very friendly. In fact, I booked it because of how helpful the owner, Gale was when I called. Best of all, the location of the inn is a convenient walking distance to downtown and the pier. It's also a quick 2-mile ride via bicycle to Acadia National Park's scenic carriage roads. (We didn't use our car for 2 days.)
Just a few blocks down the street are also two nice breakfast places (Jeannies and Jordans) and a cyber cafe. There's also Rosali's for pizza and Maggie's restaurant nearby for dinner.
We enjoyed our stay at the Quimby House Inn and you will too.
Wonderful place to stay
We stayed at the Quimby House for three nights and were very pleased with both the room and the service. All the staff was helpful, giving us suggestions about good places to eat and useful info about the town. We even had to change rooms, due to availabilty which we knew in advance, and they handled it all for us. Both rooms were beautifully appointed, very clean, and the bathrooms like new. Room 208, a large corner room, was our favorite with a big bathroom that even had a window. There was plenty of on site parking, and we were able to walk to all the shops, restuarants and the harbor. They have a very nice area in the back with tables and chairs and have a multi level deck that serves as an entrance to all levels in the back. It was a wonderful place to stay and a great value.
We loved the Quimby Inn.
We were very pleased with the Quimby and would definitely stay there again. The room was spacious and very clean. The host and hostess were quite accomodating and their recommendations proved to be accurate and helpful. The location was perfect.
Great Location!
We just stayed at the Quimby Inn from 8/1 - 8/3. What a find!! Bar Harbor can be a bit expensive which we expect for a destination of this type. I came across this inn from another topic on this forum. Boy am I glad I did. The inn is on Cottage Street - 5 minute to the shopping area - with plenty even on Cottage Street. Not too far from some deli's/breakfast spots etc. The owners of the inn - we only met Gale are doing a fantastic job. The rooms are completely remodeled, very clean and very comfortable. They are also appointed very well. All for a very reasonable price for this area. We spent $290 for two nights - you could easily spend that for one night in Bar Harbor and not have off street parking within walking distance of everything! The staff was very helpful in giving suggestions and offering up ideas for places to see and where to eat! Even though we didnt use them the lawn area out back has chairs/tables to relax the morning. They have menus available for most of the restaurants so you can check them out prior to going to them - they have all kinds of area attractions phamplets. Overall we would gives this 5 stars if they were listed as a hotel in tripadvisor - I hope they get listed soon or maybe not - it's a good secret right now!
We will definitely return to the Quimby Inn in the future - thanks Gale!
Will stay here again
I stayed here July 22, 2005 for my 1 night over-stay in Bar Harbor before going to Swan's Island. I was not disappointed in anything. I had a very large room on the 3rd floor(requested) that was extremely comfortable. The layered decks & stairs on the back made things easy when not taking the inside stairs, which were no problem to ascend. The innkeepers were very helpful, but this being my 4th trip through Bar Harbor I knew this was the best location, within walking distance to town center. I did take their advice and eat at the Bluefish Cafe, a little expensive but excellant food!!
I will be staying again next year when I return.
Welcoming comfort in a home-like atmosphere
We just returned from a magnificent vacation in the Acadia region of Maine with a side trip to Nova Scotia. Our home away from home was the Quimby House Inn located in Bar Harbor, Maine. Tom and Gayle Abbot are the innkeepers, they run a very comfortable clean and welcoming establishment. This was our second trip to Bar Harbor and we would not think of staying anywhere else. The property is well kept and appears newly renovated. There is ample floor space in the rooms and Gayle is in the lobby every morning making coffee and providing a welcoming smile. Both Tom and Gayle are very knowledgeable about the surrounding area, the best restaurants and activities. Ample off street parking is available and you have two excellent restaurants for breakfast that are within three-minute walking distance. (We like Two Cats and Jordan's). Bike and Kayak rental is just outside the front door. The area is quet in the evening but close to the middle of town, a five-minute walk. Joy and I are looking forward to returning with our two adult children (if schedules permit) next year. The Quimby House is family friendly and provides a worry free home away from home.

Harboring Good Will
... And it has a coffee shop atmosphere … too much light for dinner, not enough tables for the guests who want to dine. Not sure who planned that but they failed.
We didn't get back to the room in time for sunset, but we did get to enjoy some of the twilight. The sun had set over the harbor we face, so the oranges and purples of the afterglow completed our evening. Mother Nature blessed Maine with a lot of beauty.

Bar Harbor, Maine
Lee has not been bitten by the gambling bug, she's waiting for the arrival of the customs agents. Since we're back in U.S.A., we had to show our passports and receive clearance before going ashore. Bar Harbor is a charming town on the northeast shore of Mt. Desert Island. It is the largest island off the coast of Maine measuring 12 miles in one direction and 15 miles the other way. It was once the summer playground of the rich and famous. By the 1880, there were 30 hotels and ...

Once our walk was over, our legs stretched about as much as they could take, we drove up to Cadillac Mountain to take in the views of Bar Harbor from above. Finally exhausted and still stuffed, we drove home to call it an early night; however, my sweet tooth kicked in and asking Mark, "yes or no?" I whipped the car into an ice cream parking lot. Unfortunately ...
Touring Acadia
We decided to use the shuttle to get around Acadia National Park again today. It arrived at the campground around 9:30 and took us to the village where we would catch a different shuttle for the Jordan Pond route. We rode that route to the end at Northeast Pier. At the pier we got out and waked along the docks to look at the beautiful boats. Tommy loves wooden boats with their glossy hulls, so we spent ...

I need to define a route which reads message (has an xml) from a Topic and unmarshals it to a java bean.
Earlier i was using spring JmsTemplate for managing connectionFactory for the topic and my route looked something like this (and it worked fine)
The message converter essetially returns the
TextMessage instance in the
fromMessage() method
JaxbDataFormat dataFormat = new JaxbDataFormat();
Now, instead of a JmsTemplate, i am using
org.springframework.jms.listener.DefaultMessageListenerContainer to connect to this durable topic.
(Also because it supports asynchronous mode)
For this i wrote my own message listener which implements
javax.jms.MessageListener and i read the message in
onMessage(). But i cannot return a TextMessage from here like the way i used to do when is used JmsTemplate.
I don't know how can i configure this in the route definition so that it still supports unmarshalling?

Courtney Love & Frances Bean: Their Ugly Feud
Kurt Cobain's Daughter Fires Back at Her Mother's Accusations About a Relationship with Dave Grohl
Now, the press-shy teen, who's been estranged from her mother for the last two years, is speaking out. "I'm generally silent on the affairs of my biological mother," Cobain, 19, said in an icily worded statement denying the accusation. "[But] her recent tirade has taken a gross turn." Grohl, 43, who is married, also spoke out, calling the accusations "upsetting" and "absolutely untrue."
But for those who have followed the Hole singer's career, they're perhaps not entirely surprising. Love, 47, battled addiction after her husband's 1994 suicide and lost custody of Frances to his relatives in 2009 after years of erratic behavior. "Frances tolerated her mom, but Courtney messed up their relationship every step of the way," says a source. Now, Cobain is building a life without Mom. She got engaged to the Rambles singer Isaiah Silva, 27, last year. Friends call the couple "quiet and shy." Cobain "is smart and has tried to learn from her mother's mistakes," adds the source. "She's trying to live a good life and not let her mother's behavior affect her."

By Billy Graham • August 16, 2010 • Topics: Creation
Yes, God made everything that lives on the earth — including the animals. In the beginning, the Bible says, "God said, 'Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals….' And it was so" (Genesis 1:24).
And yes, the Bible commands us to take care of the animals under our care. One of the signs of a righteous man, the Bible says, is that he takes care of his animals (see Proverbs 12:10). Even the animal of an enemy was to be treated kindly: "If you come across your enemy's ox or donkey wandering off, be sure to take it back to him" (Exodus 23:4). One reason God commanded His people to rest one day out of seven was so their animals would be refreshed (see Exodus 23:12).
In fact, the Bible says we must never treat any part of God's creation with contempt. When we do, we are indirectly treating our Creator with contempt. Instead, God calls us to be stewards or trustees of His creation, and the Bible reminds us that we are responsible to Him for the way we treat it. We've often forgotten this — but it's still true, and when we ignore it we not only hurt God's creation but we also hurt ourselves.
Most of all, however, God calls us to put Him first in our lives. He loves us, and our greatest calling is to respond to His love by opening our hearts and lives to His Son, Jesus Christ.
I think as Christians we should care for all of God's creation. It saddens me when I read the comments and people only mention pets. I wish more Christians would start to fight back against the horrific cruelty that farm animals endure but people don't want to hear about that because it might mean changing some eating habits. God cares about all of his creation – not just dogs and cats but cows, chickens, pigs, etc. I can't believe we as a civilized society allow the cruelty to go on every single day to farm animals but get all up in arms when they see a story on facebook regarding cruelty to a cat or dog. Food for thought…
Does it say that when the world ends that God will start by taking his animals back? Obviously not exactly like that, but basically.
I do not understand how someone can profess to be a Christian and hate animals. It makes no sense to me and it makes me think that humans are the root of all evil. I know that humans are a lot dirtier than any animal I have ever seen.
Lol!! I agree a 100%!! I have four cats that I love dearly! They are my best friends and not one of them has ever done anything to hurt me !! Animals are not devious, they do not react out of spite or hate or anger! Only instinct and loyalty and love! 😻
I am very happy you addressed this and I am equally as disturbed and care for animals
All animals should be treated right. In Proverbs, a righteous man cares for his animals, all animals come from God.
God most definitely is first above all. I'm an animal lover myself. However I do wonder sometimes if I care to much. This place where I live is full of animal cruelty and neglect. I've become a rescue somewhat. They are all Gods creation and he does tell us to care for them. I keep wondering that if I go to far or care to much then why would God have given me such a large heart for them. I also feel that people who don't have a heart for animals pretty much just don't have a heart. I personally don't have much of a heart for those who write negative and derogatory remarks about those of us that do care and don't offer a chance to reply. The bible says I have to love them but not necessarily like them.
I do not believe it is possible to care too much about animals (esp pets) can't fend for themselves and are like children and need to be taken care of

The Perfect Storm May Be Brewing In Colorado To Pass A 'Personhood' Law
CREDIT: AP Photo/Brennan Linsley
Lawmakers in Colorado — the state that has emerged as ground zero for the movement to redefine life as beginning at conception — won't stop trying to pass a radical "personhood" law to severely roll back abortion rights. And, in the aftermath of a tragic crime that was committed against a pregnant woman last month, they might finally gain some traction after years of failed attempts.
This week, Republicans in the state introduced a measure that would allow the state to bring murder charges in crimes that result in a loss of a pregnancy — effectively endowing fetuses with the same rights as Colorado citizens in the state's criminal code, and paving the way to enshrine personhood into law.
The measure stipulates that "the term 'person' includes an unborn child at every stage of gestation from conception until live birth." It clarifies that charges should not be applied to acts committed by the pregnant person or to "medical procedures," although it does not explicitly reference abortion.
The lawmakers sponsoring the measure say that it is not a personhood law and it effectively protects abortion rights. But reproductive rights proponents are particularly wary of codifying the idea that personhood begins at conception, which they say will ultimately make it easier to outlaw abortion and even some types of birth control.
Colorado's new bill was introduced in direct response to a recent tragedy in the state. In March, Michelle Wilkins, who was seven months pregnant at the time, was brutally attacked after she responded to a Craigslist ad for baby clothes. A stranger slashed Wilkins' stomach and removed her fetus from inside of her — a rare and grisly crime known as "womb raiding." The woman who committed the assault, Dynel Lane, pretended the fetus was her own and told her husband that she had a miscarriage.
Lane was charged with attempted first-degree murder and first-degree unlawful termination of a pregnancy, but she did not face a murder charge because coroners determined that Wilkins' fetus was not viable outside the womb, since it did not have the lung capacity to breathe on its own. Republican lawmakers were outraged about the absence of murder charges and immediately pledged to introduce a bill to stiffen the penalties for committing crimes against fetuses.
"This was a child. A child was murdered," Senate President Bill Cadman (R) said in statement after the charges were handed down. "That Coloradans have no way to hold the murderer responsible, or deliver justice for the victims, is a gap in Colorado's justice system which can no longer be ignored."
Other lawmakers had even stronger responses to the tragedy. State Rep. Gordon Klingenschmitt (R) said that the brutal attack on the pregnant woman was God's punishment for legal abortion, claiming that the crime represented "the curse of God upon America for our sin of not protecting innocent children in the womb."
It's clear that the major anti-abortion groups in the state are eager to capitalize on the crime to push their personhood agenda. Personhood USA, which is based in Colorado, has been tracking the recent news as evidence of Colorado's "legal failure" in fetal homicide cases. "The parents of these unborn babies deserve justice, and as long as Colorado law claims that their children's lives don't matter, justice will not be served," Jennifer Mason, a spokesperson for Personhood USA, said in March.
It's not the first time that the organization has used this framing. Grieving mothers who want justice for their unborn children have become symbols in the personhood cause. Last year, a similar situation played out with a proposed ballot initiative in Colorado. Like the new legislation proposed this week, that measure would have expanded the Colorado Criminal Code and Wrongful Death Act to include "unborn human beings." Proponents of personhood said it was necessary in light of a tragedy that befell Colorado resident Heather Surovik, who miscarried at eight months of pregnancy when a drunk driver crashed into her car.
Surovik's story was certainly compelling; in honor of the unborn son she lost, the personhood initiative was dubbed the "Brady Amendment." But concerns about the potentially far-reaching implications of changing the criminal code still prevailed. Colorado voters resoundingly defeated the measure in November, marking the third time that residents of the state have rejected personhood.
Wilkins' story — which is considerably more gruesome and, in many ways, even more upsetting — might lead to a different outcome in the state legislature. "With this latest crime used as another plank in the fetal personhood argument, extreme abortion opponents may be able to gain traction where they couldn't before," reporter Robin Marty wrote in Talking Points Memo last month.
Colorado actually already has a fetal homicide law on the books that allows for criminal penalties in assaults that harm a pregnancy. That policy is carefully crafted — specifying that "nothing in this act shall be construed to confer personhood, or any rights associated with that status, on a human being at any time prior to live birth" — to ensure it doesn't end up veering into a complicated legal arena that equates the rights of women with the rights of fetuses. To avoid potential threats to reproductive rights, Planned Parenthood helped politicians write that legislation.
Abortion rights groups have been growing increasingly concerned about fetal homicide laws, which are currently in place in at least 38 states. Although it is possible to strike a delicate balance between prosecuting crimes against pregnant women and preserving abortion rights, as Colorado's current law attempts to do, many of the existing state laws are not as circumspect. Currently, 23 states allow their fetal homicide laws to apply to the earliest stages of pregnancy, by using terms like "any state of gestation," "conception," "fertilization," or "post-fertilization."
To women's health advocates, those terms prove that this area is being used as a foothold to advance an anti-choice agenda. Plus, leading anti-abortion groups like Americans United for Life have been actively involved in encouraging states to pass broader protections for pregnant women who become the victims of violent crime.
"There is some evidence that abortion opponents have been pursuing fetal homicide laws because they hope it will undermine abortion rights. It seems to be part of their overall strategy," Elizabeth Nash, the states policy manager for the Guttmacher Institute, told ThinkProgress last year.
Plus, even though these laws are supposed to allow states to prosecute third parties who commit crimes against pregnant women, there's a well-documented history of states wielding them against pregnant women themselves. For instance, an Indiana woman currently faces 20 years behind bars for what she says was a miscarriage because state officials allege that she intentionally murdered her unborn child. When states like Colorado attempt to expand their existing fetal harm laws, it becomes more likely that other women will wind up behind bars, too.
Despite the disturbing nature of the assault against Michelle Wilkins, pro-choice lawmakers in the state are opposed to the effort to enshrine personhood into law.
"I am disappointed that the Republicans are choosing to use what happened to the Wilkins family to get 'personhood' into law," state Sen. Pat Steadman (D) said in a statement in response to the GOP bill. "What occurred in Longmont was horrible, and the perpetrator deserves to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, which if found guilty could result in a sentence of over 100 years in prison. Using this tragedy to promote new laws that Colorado voters have soundly rejected is out of bounds."

Pulling a rabbit out of a hat or making someone disappear is impressive, but it's got nothing on this cure-all known as Egyptian Magic. This powerhouse cream, said to be derived from a formula found in ancient Egyptian tombs, can pretty much do it all. It's a face cream, an eye gel, a hair mask, a treatment for burns, and has even been known to treat psoriasis and eczema. Plus, this potent balm is made of just six ingredients, all of them completely natural (and never tested on animals).
This stuff really is Magic! It works fantastic on my hair and skin. I never knew the name of it but it reminds me of something my great-grandmother used to have when I was a kid. It's kind of pricey, but a little bit does go a long way and it's totally worth the cost. I wish I could buy it in a larger container.4
Truly a multiple purpose product. I use on my toddler's eczema to relieve the dryness and itching. And use it on myself every morning after my shower--I find that applying it to damp skin helps it absorb more quickly and eliminates the greasiness that I've read others describe in their reviews.5
Don't get me wrong, I honestly though this product was effective. If I needed lip balm, I could use this stuff. If I had ashy hands, I only needed a little to smear onto my palms to fix the problem. However, my problem with this product is that I can see no difference between this and just regular Vaseline. They performed the exact same way, the only difference was the ingredients of each. This product seems to use a lot more natural ingredients, but when I compared the two, they used the exact same base ingredients. Due to this, I feel this product is not really worth the money.3
