LOS ANGELES -- Larry Harmon Pictures Corp. said it has granted global rights for the development of a family entertainment center and restaurant concept based on Bozo the Clown. The new FEC brand will have a management team and board that are said to be industry leaders in food and beverage, investment banking, redemption gaming and franchising activities.
BozoWorld was incorporated in May 2012. Its management team will be headed by Dave Corriveau, a founder of Dave and Buster's Inc. As chief executive, Corriveau will spearhead the launch of the first location, called the BozoWorld of Entertainment, a 25,000-sq.ft. restaurant and entertainment complex here. As the name suggests, the FEC will be themed around Bozo the Clown, the long-lived character created by Larry Harmon.
BozoWorld is scheduled to open in 13 months, on New Years Eve 2013. The new company plans to expand, own and operate the Bozo FEC chain, and said it wants to partner with food and beverage operators to open up locations worldwide.
Corriveau, 61, was president, chief executive and chairman of Dave & Buster's before exiting in 2007, the year after the big box amusement company became a private entity. His primary focus at Dave and Buster's was amusement operations, new store development and conceptual evolution.
The "Bozo Show" was one of the longest-airing children's TV shows with over 300 million people having watched the character for 47 consecutive years, reaching approximately 50 million U.S. homes weekly. The live Bozo character continues to make personal appearances, and the animated "Bozo" series and "Live Bozo Show" remain popular in Mexico, Greece, Australia, Thailand and Brazil, among other countries, according to LHPC president Susan Harmon.

Charlie Chaplin: The Musical was originally a 2006 La Jolla musical production that set one of the world's greatest cinematic talent's life to music. It got produced again in 2012 in its current form. One would have expected that Charlie Chaplin: The Musical would truly clue people living in the 2000s just how tremendous Chaplin was as a cultural, cinematic, and historical force. Unfortunately, given the superficial treatment of Chaplin's life, formulaic responses to some of the biggest questions raised Chaplin's biography, as well as, in fairness, how expansive the time frame it tries to cover, Charlie Chaplin: The Musical simply falls flat. It commits the all too common error many other productions centering on oversized personalities tend to make: trying to cover too much with too little.
What could have been and what actually happened
Considering its ambitions, Charlie Chaplin: The Musical should have released on a smaller theater venue off Broadway first. Doing so would have given it the feedback and opportunity it needed to produce a more polished and tighter product. Sadly, Charlie Chaplin: The Musical found out the hard way many other productions find out-Broadway is not the place to debut if your production has a few loose ends to tie up in both the story and production quality department. Launching a play on Broadway is like debuting a new sportscar model by racing it at the Indy 500 or Formula Grand Prix-bold, daring, and probably doomed to fail. Considering the high expectations of Broadway, it is not a surprise that Charlie Chaplin: The Musical caught quite a bit of bad reviews. While it did manage to get a few good reviews, on the whole, most reviews were mixed along with a few highly respected papers giving the production a thumbs down. If there is anything to gain from the rather disappointing experience of this musical it is this: don't try to cover everything when you only have so much time to work with. If it gives any measure of comfort, Charlie Chaplin: The Musical is hardly alone in committing this strategic error. Many musicals that cover outsized personalities and events make the same mistake.
Trying to capture the sunset in a bottle
If there is one figure in all of cinematic history who can definitely meet the criterion of a 'big personality,' it would have to be Charles Chaplin. He was, after all, the biggest movie star the world produced in the silent movie era. His career, his rise and fall, and his controversies don't just belong in that interesting time in cinematic history when it was transitioning from silence to sound but Chaplin's career also happened during a major global cultural and historical crossroads. You have to remember that Chaplin lived in a world that is very very different from ours. Nobility versus middle class, racism, sexism, sectarianism, class-based antagonism, you named it. This is precisely the immensity of both personality, culture, and history that Charlie Chaplin: The Musical tried to capture. It was like trying to catch the sunset and bottle it. It didn't, not unexpectedly, quite work out.
Still, Charlie Chaplin: The Musical did manage some victories. It got a Tony nomination and six Drama Desk award nomination.

Ray's full name is taken from the only one source: Libertycitypolice.com. Don't start reverting edits when it seems like everyone else thinks this is correct. Discuss first. Same goes with Gay Tony's first name being Anthony and so on. We do not need to cite in-game sources.--Spaceeinstein 20:10, November 24, 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I don't know about your game, but the LCPD database on mine doesn't show Rodislav, Anthony nor Konstantin (Petrovic). It still says their nicknames. Master Sima Yi 18:44, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm, odd. My game also doesn't say it. Then why do a lot of people say it and where did it come from?--Spaceeinstein 17:43, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
- Most probably someone just made it up. That is the only option. Master Sima Yi 18:04, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
- It says Rodislov Bulgarin on the GTA IV credits for the PS3 at least, I just watched it. Grand Theft AJ 20:17, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
- Konstantin? Well, I haven't played the multiplayer version so I can't say for certain that that is his real name. What about you, AJ?
- I've never heard him referred to as "Konstantin" I don't think it gives that name in the credits, but something tells me Dimitri Rascalovrefers to him as that, I'm not sure though. Grand Theft AJ 20:59, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
- The LCPD Database states that Tony Prince's full name in Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince. It's logical since 90% of "Tonys" are born Anthony. I'm pretty sure Ray Bulgarin's name was stated as Rodislav somewhere other than this wiki I can't be sure of how legit the source was though. As for Kenny Petrovic being called Konstantin, I think somebody just made that up along with several other names for characters such as Rosario Zito etc. --MOB-4-Life 01:11, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
- Dimitri has never refered to Petrovic as Konstantin. This is about the 6th time I'm going through GTA IV's story and it isn't said anywhere. Maybe in the alternative conversations of the missions. But this is about Bulgarin, not Petrovic. Master Sima Yi 21:07, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
- I have checked the PS3 credits for GTA IV and it also says "Ray Bulgarin."--Spaceeinstein 23:05, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
- I think that has only one conclusion then: Bulgarin's official name IS Ray, not Rodislav. I think the same can be said for Petrovic. Perhaps you could move those pages? Master Sima Yi 09:43, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
- The LCPD database doesn't say Anthony Prince. Only "Gay Tony" Prince. But anyway, the game manual also says that Bulgarin's first name is Ray, not Rodislav. MarkAldred 14:47, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
- I've removed the names. If you find concrete proof that the names are legit, feel free to revert my edits. MarkAldred 17:12, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
- I specifically remember the first time I played through GTA IV on Xbox360, he was named "Rodislav Bulgarin" on the police database. I remember, because I was pretty confused about the fact he is noted to be "Deceased", I came to the conclusion that it was not Ray, but there's not many other people in the GTA universe with the name "Bulgarin", and the fact he's listed as being arrested for Human Trafficking in 1989, and that is the criminal activity he commited while the boat crashed along with Niko. I'm still confused. (BTW, I also remember "Konstantin Petrovic", as Kenny, too but whatever, I did get "Gay Tony" Prince, instead of Anthony. Also, on the PC version, he was listed as "Ray Bulgarin"... -_- MyDogIsBlue 22:04, December 8, 2011 (UTC)
Does anyone even know where the name 'Rodislav' came from? In the Internet Movie Database Site he's credited as "Rodislav Bulgarin". Take a look.
- http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0046518/ Grand Theft AJ 21:08, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
- I don't know. That's why I asked you. So much for the "friend" activty revealing his name. Anyway, IMDB is unreliable. It states that Michael Gough did the voice of Harry Mason in Silent Hill even though he denied doing the role when some fans e-mailed him. MarkAldred 22:22, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
- I made a mistake, it's what people do, I was under the impression he did refer to him as Rodislav on a friend activity. Obviously I admitted that mistake when I asked where his name came from, and how is IMBD unreliable, Silent Hill isn't Grand Theft Auto. Grand Theft AJ 01:01, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
- "Rodislav" is never mentioned in GTA IV. I've searched through the entire text file so there's no point in playing the game to find it. Unless the name pops up somewhere else then it would be a while before I will get some info there. Can someone comb through the Internet and find reliable previews where "Rodislav" is mentioned? All the ones I found for TBOGT just called him Bulgarin.--Spaceeinstein 04:48, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
- His name on IMDB is Rodislav. Does it mean something? Orto Dogge 22:34, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
- It means that someone not working for Rockstar themselves put it up there, based on what he saw on this site. -- Master Sima Yi 11:26, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
- But why somebody called him Rodislav in the first place? In one Russian website, which takes info straight from Rockstar, he called Rodislav too. --Orto Dogge 11:56, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
- it bothers me that people call him "Rodislav" when was this ever mentioned in the game he goes by ray bulgarin can't we just call him that instead of rodislav there is no source of that information.
- Can you give me this "one Russian website"? Obviously just saying that doesn't make it true.--Spaceeinstein 03:45, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks to InfernoDragon of GameFAQs, he found where the name "Rodislav" first came from, Wikipedia.--Spaceeinstein 22:59, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
Galina Bulgarin?
Where is it said that his sister is called Galina? I don't own GTA The Ballad of Gay Tony so that's why I'm asking... Master Sima Yi 12:37, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
- Her name is mentioned in the ending credits of The Ballad of Gay Tony and also the game's manual. --Splatterhouse50 12:45, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
- Okay then. Thanks :). Master Sima Yi 12:59, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
Okay, I think I started a war when I told SyphonFilter1987 to stop taking Rodislav out of Ray's page here. Now everyone's talking about it, edit warring and it's all a huge mess So, now I want to know what you guys think. I think we should just take a vote on what we think his name is and we'll just go with that. That way, it's fair and maybe this crap will settle down.
- I've contacted Rockstar about it and hopefully they'll get back to me with confirmation in the next few days. Tom Talk 16:02, August 27, 2011 (UTC)
- Me and Jeff have a policy on Bully Wiki where during name confusion, we use the name that is in the game credits. Could be worth considering using that here. Dan the Man 1983 19:18, August 27, 2011 (UTC)
- This isn't really an appropriate subject for a vote. If the name "Rodislav" is sourceable it's against the rules not to include it. If it isn't, it's against the rules to include it. I'm going to boot up GTA4 and check the claim that his full name appears on the in-game website libertycitypolice.com now. McJeff (talk this way)/(stalk this way) 19:38, August 27, 2011 (UTC)
- And after checking, 1) the website does not list his name as Rodislav, only as Ray, and 2) it lists his birthplace as Unknown, not Russia, so I am going to edit the article accordingly. McJeff (talk this way)/(stalk this way) 19:48, August 27, 2011 (UTC)
- Rockstar have confirmed that his name is Ray not Rodislav, see this. Tom Talk 11:23, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
- Ray is a Russian, and I have four evidences:
- Ray has a heavy Russian accent.
- Ray's sister is named Galina, which is a Russian name.
- Ray speak Russian in some missions in GTA IV and TBoGT.
- The LCPD database is not always right.
-- Ilan xd 05:21, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
- None of those "evidences" actually prove anything. McJeff (talk this way)/(stalk this way) 05:36, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
- Why not? -- Ilan xd 06:11, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
- Jeff I'm certain he's Russian, firstly I asked a guy from Rockstar, the link is at the end of my last comment, and he seemed pretty sure he was, secondly everyone in the game says he's Russian, watch this and finally the LCPD Database says unknown, all that proves is that the LCPD didn't know where he was born. Tom Talk 12:33, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
- Bulgarin is as Russian as a Ushanka. Dan the Man 1983 13:53, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
- Guys I have to agree with Ilan and Tom at one point. The police database can be misinforming sometimes. For example on Billy Grey's case; in LCPD database he was listed as in custody even after his death despite he was killed right inside the correctional facility which is full with police. And Niko and Roman's places of birth are listed as unknown as well although they're from serbia as it's said in the game. This is only because the LCPD just doesn't know their place of birth, since they're immigrants. Uchiha.Sasuke.B 00:04, September 12, 2011 (UTC)
Hi, are you sure about Ray's name in Cyrillic? You state that in Russian it is "Рэй Бoлгарин", but transcription of "Бoлгарин" is Bolgarin not Bulgarin. Bulgarin in Cyrillic is spelled "Булгарин". --Silesian (talk) 19:04, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

What happened when you tried including the known correct password ?
Has anyone had an issue with hydra, version 5.7, returning multiple passwords for one username? Here is the command I ran:
hydra -l root -P password.lst -o hydra.log 192.168.0.2 ssh2
Hydra responded that root had multiple passwords (123123, 111111, 112233, etc.). I tried to login with each password, and none of them worked.
If anyone has experience with this, I would appreciate some clarity! Thanks.
What happened when you tried including the known correct password ?
This happens to me when I run the attack against java based routers. otherwise it works fine. try pinging the devise first to make sure you can even see it.

What every parent should know about BPA and baby bottles.
Scientific evidence has linked the chemical bisphenol A (BPA) - which is found in most plastics- to behavioral changes in babies. It may also contribute to early onset of puberty in girls, and it may cause permanent, long-term genetic damage in mammals.
Health Canada studies show that 90% of Canadians have traces of BPA in their blood. In light of these disturbing facts, Health Canada has recently declared BPA a toxic substance. In fact, Canada is leading the way in the elimination of BPA. Many other countries are also banning BPA from Baby Products.
Health Canada has also found traces of BPA in BPA Free plastic bottles. Keeping your baby safe from BPA is as important to us as it is to you. That's why Dreaming Baby only offers glass baby bottles. Glass is a natural substance that has been with us for thousands of years. it's reusable, recyclable and SAFE.
Not only are Dreaming Baby glass bottles free of BPA, they're also free of phthalates, PVC, cadmium, lead and other toxic substances and certified to the EN14350 standard, the most stringent safety standard in the world.

All the Deets: Beyonce's Super Bowl Costume (Plus a Wearable Lookalike Outfit!)
Get all the deets on the Rubin Singer creation Beyonce wore during her Super Bowl halftime show here—and score a wearable lookalike ensemble while you're at it!
-Lucia Peters
Haven't heard of designer Rubin Singer? You have now: He's the man behind Beyonce's show-stopping costume for her Super Bowl performance. And now that he's got this under his belt, he's got nowhere to go but up! Here's the story behind the ensemble:
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Singer has worked with Beyonce a few times over the years, and presented storyboards from his fall 2013 collection to Bey's stylists, Raquel Smith and Ty Hunter, shortly after Thanksgiving. After getting the go-ahead, he and Beyonce started on a whirlwind collaboration. Over the space of just two months, the singer had five fittings and the designer put in 200 man hours with a team of 14. Talk about being on the fast track!
The inspiration for the resulting costume goes back to the storyboards Singer presented to Bey's team back in November. The designer's fall 2013 collection is entitled "Valkyrie's Dominion"—and yep, you guessed it: It's based around the Norse mythological figure, the Valkyrie, who decides which soldiers will die in battle and which ones will survive. Incidentally, he'll be showing the collection at New York Fashion Week next week. Singer also pulled from images of Helmut Newton from the late '70s and early '80s, as well as from images of Marlene Deitrich.

The costume ended up having two phases to it: During the opening, we saw a cropped leather moto jacket with huge shoulders, a asymmetrical collar, and winged cuffs, along with a micro-mini asymmetrical wrap skirt in the nylon, metal, silk, and plastic material known as "liquid nylon." Later on in the show, Beyonce ditched the jacket, revealing a leather body suit that contrasted strips of engineered python, paneled iguana, and pick stitched leather with delicate black Chantilly lace.
Said Singer, "This piece is truly couture in every way. My seamstresses were assembling all of the leather and exotic skins individually by hand. All of the pieces were separate details that were all constructed on her body. We had to make the body suit have a tremendous range of motion and flexibility. Beyonce is such a fierce and intense performer we could not have the outfit constrict her in any way."
Love the look, but wish it was a little more… well, wearable? Check out our Beyonce-inspired outfit. You're sure to be the center of attention on your next big night out in this getup!

Ages of origin and destination for a difference in life expectancy

|age decomposition, life tables, temporary life expectancy
Decomposition of a difference in life expectancies may identify ages at which the difference originates in mortality differences, or may identify age at which the difference results in different values of person-years lived (life table population). This study shows that the two approaches are orthogonally related to each other, and derives an origin-destination decomposition matrix in which summing in one direction produces Andreev's origin-decomposition results, while summing in the other direction produces destination-decomposition corresponding to directly-observed differences in nLx values.

Im having problems booting Backtrack 3 off the CD. i have checked the md5 and its good but when i boot the cd it freezes at "Looking for data directory". i read somewhere that it has something to do with backtrack not being compatible with SATA hard drives, which i have. I have no other hard drives that i could connect instead as some people have suggested. is there another way i could get Backtrack to work with my hard drive like drivers or something? Help would be appreciated, thanks.
PS: i am a complete noob when it comes to Linux, so i would be thankful if you explain throughly, thanks again.
PPS: i did try searching an i didn't find much that helped me.

Probably so, but standard disclaimer applies.
Is it possible to get the effects from Ubuntu into Backtrack? Or download Ubuntu Themes?
Probably so, but standard disclaimer applies.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
what are those effects?
If anything can go wrong, it will....
In other words, i want to make my desktop to be like this>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN5VI...eature=related
but with all Backtrack features !
Since BT is based on ubuntu u can put anything you want on your machine as far as you meet the dependancies.Is it possible to install backtrack tools inside of Ubuntu?
If anything can go wrong, it will....
Just my 2 cents, why not actually install Ubuntu with all your effects and run Backtrack in a virtual environment ?
Backtrack is a Pentesting distribution, it wasn't made to have special effects or something else, most of those won't work and you also have the change to mess Backtrack up by installing these and after that happens we will not help you anymore.
Back|track giving machine guns to monkeys since 2007 !
Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
If it is that troublesome then I'll use VM for BT. Thank you.
If you see some of the earlier vids by pureh@te you will see some similar effects, so I am pretty sure you will be
able to accomplish some 'kewl' effects with the current version, however as Sickness stated, it is not what BT is
intended for, so any inadequecies / by products will probably not include much help here..
Having said that, eye-candy is something all of us like, so go for it, and let us know what works and what does not.

Ogden • Prior to 2012, Weber State and Northern Colorado were football programs on two distinctly different arcs.
As they prepare for Saturday's 1:30 p.m. kickoff at Stewart Stadium in WSU's final home game of a season that goes beyond disappointing once again the two programs appear headed in opposite directions.
UNC (3-6, 2-4 BSC) has won two of its past three games, including an 18-point comeback against Portland State. The Wildcats (1-8, 1-5) are just trying to end their season on a positive note.
The message from both camps, however, remains the same.
"It's about being consistent and getting better," said second-year UNC coach Earnest Collins. "I didn't come here just to win football games, but to be part of conference championship teams and national championship teams."
All season, Collins and Weber State coach Jody Sears have hammered home the same message: consistency, hard work and focus.
"Since it's the first time being a head coach, it's been a learning experience not only for me but for kids," said Sears, handed the job following spring football when John L. Smith left for Arkansas. "I'm extremely proud of way our staff and our players have stuck together through adversity that we had in the offseason and the adversity we had this season. We haven't fractured, we haven't splintered."
The Wildcats have lost three conference games by 14 total points, which indicates the fine line between success and failure.
From its first Big Sky Conference season in 2006 to 2011, the Bears won five conference games and were 9-58 overall. Last year, his first as UNC head coach, Collins didn't win a game.
In the same time period, WSU was a competitive force in the BSC, going 30-18 with a conference championship. Overall, the Wildcats were 37-33.
"It was an awesome win for a head coach to be part of," Collins said of the victory over Portland State, coming on the heels of a blown loss the week before against Northern Arizona. "It was not so much about me as about seeing the look on the kids' faces."
Sears saw that look three weeks ago in a two-point win at Southern Utah. He'd like to get it back this week and next at Idaho State.
"The state of the team is awesome," Sears said. "We need to move forward and persevere."

What Pushed Miriam Carey to a Capitol Hill Tragedy?
As she sprawled dying from police bullets in the shadow of the Capitol, 34-year-old dental hygienist Miriam Carey left an 18-month-old daughter and a mystery that confounded even those closest to her.
Her older sister in Brooklyn said the family was puzzled by why she was even in Washington, D.C., much less why she had crashed into a barricade outside the White House and hit a Secret Service officer, then led police on a wild chase that ended at the Capitol.
Her mother, Idella Carey, would tell ABC News that Miriam had been hospitalized for postpartum depression after the birth of her baby. The child's father is also said to have expressed concern.
But her sister had spoken to her on Wednesday and Carey had not seemed to be upset or in any way irrational. Carey was one person who had not been speaking about the shutdown and the mess in Washington.
But, there she was on Thursday in the video the whole world was watching. The family recognized her black Infiniti with the Connecticut plates, but her postpartum depression must have been more devastating than anybody could have imagined for her to be at the wheel as the car came to a stop by the President Garfield Memorial, surrounded by cops with drawn guns and seemingly trapped until she suddenly backed up and lurched forward, breaking like in an action movie.
A college graduate with degrees in dental hygiene and nutrition who had never been arrested or in trouble and is said to be related to a retired NYPD sergeant, she then sped off with the police firing. She zoomed around Peace Circle with its pedestal topped by stone figures of History and Grief.
And what made it even harder to believe, what would make postpartum among the most insidious of disorders if it was indeed the cause, Carey had her toddler daughter in the car. Carey veered past a bollard, finally crashing into a barricade not far from a guard booth. She is said to have attempted to flee on foot as more shots rang out. She fell fatally wounded. A police officer took the uninjured child from the car.

YUCAIPA - As a child, Kim Meeder was left an orphan, the innocent victim of her parents' murder/suicide.
From those difficult beginnings, the now grown Meeder and her husband Troy are now the owners of a ranch in central Oregon with a mission to "rescue the equine, mentor the child, offer hope for the family and empower the ministry."
The Christian Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch trains horses that have been rescued from abusive circumstances and then, in turn, those horses help hurting and abused children.
The ranch began in 1993 when the Meeders purchased nine acres of abandoned cinder mine property in Bend, Ore. Hooper shared stories that she had been told on the ranch of the property's sometimes miraculous survival. The cinder laden ground was spread with moldy hay and manure to neutralize the long-term effects of the mine.
Old trees were planted on the property that were barely alive and eventually, the Meeders rescued their first two animals.
One horse had been beaten so badly that a vet was called in to repair its face. The other horse had been starved, according to the ranch's website.
"They pair broken children with broken horses," Hooper said.
"It started as a rescue facility for horses and turned into a ministry that's been very successful in helping families and kids," Troy Meeder said.
As a day ranch, the Oregon facility does not accommodate overnight stays. However, according to Meeder, the only requirement for attendance is that the child wants to be there.
"Parents sometimes walk down the driveway and say, `Hey, here's my kid, fix them,"' Meeder said. "We know we can't help the child through if they don't want to help themselves."
None of the counselors at the Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch are state certified social workers or guidance counselors.
"Actually 95 percent are those kids who used to be in the system themselves," Meeder said of the ranch counselors. "There is no special training, but they have the roadmap to say, I've been there and have experienced going through that."
Each summer, the ranch holds about 1,700 to 2,000 one-on-one sessions. Each is 90 minutes long and begins with the child doing basic ranch chores.
"Kids these days don't even know how to pick up a manure fork," Meeder said. "It helps their self-esteem to be able to point at that fence or that barn and say, `I did that."'
That 30 minutes of work is followed by an hour with a horse. The child can groom the animal, ride the animal or just sit and talk.
And although the Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch is a decidedly Christian organization, their counseling agenda does not involve conversations about God.
"Our job is just to love them where they are at," Meeder said. "If the child does not ask about God, we don't talk about God."
Speaking of his wife's journey to hope through her time with horses and their Christian faith, Troy Meeder said that Kim was, "rescued by the Creator who worked through the horse."
The couple hopes to bring that message to the almost 200 people who will gather at the Yucaipa Christian Church Saturday for a special 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. fundraiser event.
The Meeders agreed to speak at the church, which is a fundraiser for Redlands YouthHope, a charity that aims to reach the area's homeless and runaway teens.
The Bend ranch began in humble circumstances, but now mentors between 5,000 and 6,000 visitors per year using more than 26 rehabilitated horses. The program has also spread internationally, spawning about 190 ranch ministries across the world.
The Saturday event is being organized by Yucaipa First Baptist Church's head of women's ministries, Jackie Hooper, along with many volunteers from the Yucaipa Christian Church.
"I hope that this will challenge people to look around and see where they can individually offer hope to those in need," Hooper said of the event.
Labeled, "Choose Hope," the fundraiser event came about after Hooper heard Kim Meeder speak at a friend's church in Northern California. Since that time Hooper has made it her mission to contact the ranch and have the Meeders speak in Yucaipa.
"You walk on that ranch and you feel like it is a place of miracles," Hooper said of her visit to the Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch. "It is peaceful, it is uplifting and serene, yet even within the serenity there is a feeling of joy."
For a $15 entrance fee, those attending will be treated to a continental breakfast and music from Brian Wurzell of Cornerstone Church in Chandler, Ariz. The church's various ministries will then be highlighted before a silent auction. Then Kim Meeder will speak prior to a barbecue lunch, also provided with the $15 entrance fee. The afternoon will be broken up into men's and women's groups as Troy speaks to the men and Kim speaks again to the women.
"I want to encourage the men to be men," Troy said. "I want them to step up and be the leaders and the patriarchs of their families."
The afternoon will then end with the results of the silent auction.
Those interested in purchasing tickets can call First Baptist Church Yucaipa 909-790-1971, Yucaipa Christian Church 909-797-1108 or by stopping by Uptown Pets at 35039 Yucaipa Boulevard.
"Our purpose is to return our children and families to a faith-based time when we worked hard, a time where there weren't all these iPods and video games, when it was all about just being together as a family," Meeder said.

How Obama Handles Crisis
Sometime after the infamous Denver debate last fall, which by most media accounts should have forced the president to immediately quit the race and resign in shame, a few of us who had been with him since the earliest days tried to assess where the performance ranked on our list of All-Time Worst ObamaWorld Moments.
It was an exercise in gallows humor, but it lifted our spirits to recall how many times the president had been so mistakenly and definitively counted out over the last eight years. There was the New York Post headline from October 3, 2007, that always hung in Bill Burton's campaign office: "CLINTON NEARLY READY FOR HER CORONATION." And who could forget where they were when the news broke about the Reverend Wright or Bittergate scandals that Washington just knew would destroy Obama's candidacy? In early September 2008, a Politico story even ran the following quote from a Democratic pollster I've still never heard of: "A failure to take Sarah Palin seriously will cost the Obama campaign."
And all this was before we got to the White House.
At some point, the president heard about our little list, laughed, and began sharing his own nominations. They were very different. The meeting in the winter of 2008 where his new economic team told him just how deep the free fall would be. The moment after the Massachusetts special election when it appeared that health-care reform was dead. The debt-limit crisis in the summer of 2011. The oil spill. The first day he greeted military caskets at Dover Air Force Base. Fort Hood. Tucson.

Lawson, Jenny. Let's Pretend This Never Happened: (a mostly true memoir)
Jenny Lawson, best known for her side-splittingly funny, irreverent blog at thebloggess.com, delivers more of the same here, in her (mostly true) memoir. Jenny grew up poor in rural Texas, the daughter of a taxidermist father whose idea of a good joke was making puppets out of roadkill. An outsider who later struggled with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and now rheumatoid arthritis, she recounts the trials and tribulations of her life in a no-holds-barred, double-barreled, profanity-laden manner.
Readers of her popular blog will already be familiar with the way in which, in Jenny's hands, the simplest of stories become extended digressions into the labyrinthine twistings of her often bizarre thinking process . Anyone looking for a straight-forward memoir should look elsewhere, but those who share Jenny's twisted sense of humor and irreverent outlook on life will find themselves belly laughing out loud and garnering strange looks from those around them.

Wikipedia defines a mixin as "a class that provides a certain functionality to be inherited by a subclass, but is not meant to stand alone. Inheriting from a mixin is not a form of specialization but is rather a means to collect functionality. A subclass may even choose to inherit most or all of its functionality by inheriting from one or more mixins through multiple inheritance. A mixin can also be viewed as an interface with implemented methods."
Inheritance defines an "is a" relationship between classes. A car "is a" vehicle — a car is a specialization of a vehicle. A mixin, on the otherhand, is a means of sharing functionality among a series of related classes that do not inherit from the same base class. A mixin allows you to reuse code without implying a relationship among the classes. It also allows you to get around the Single Inheritance model a bit to do this.
An extension method is a new feature of C# 3.0. It is essentially a way of providing methods on existing classes that you may or may not have access to. This is similar in many ways to "open classes" that allow you to add methods to existing classes in languages such as Ruby. The interesting things is that you can add domain specific methods to framework classes like String or Int.
public static class TimeMixin {
public static TimeSpan Days(this int days)
return new TimeSpan(days, 0, 0, 0);
public static DateTime FromNow(this TimeSpan timeSpan)
return DateTime.Now.Add(timeSpan);
This is a great way to keep code looking and feeling like Object Oriented code and avoiding a whole bunch of Utility classes with static methods. Avoiding these Utility methods keeps the power of OO for dealing with complexity through polymorphism and avoids the often more complex structures that come out of procedural code.
So, how do you use Extension Methods as Mixins?
Define an Interface (or use an existing one)
This could be anything from a marker interface to a full interface that defines a contract. In this simple example, I'll make use of an existing interface.
public interface IComparable {
int CompareTo(object other);
Create Extension Methods for the Interface
namespace Mixins {
public static class ComparableExtension {
public static bool GreaterThan(this IComparable leftHand, object other) {
return leftHand.CompareTo(other) > 0;
public static bool LessThan(this IComparable leftHand, object other) {
return leftHand.CompareTo(other) < 0; } } }
Notice the 'this' in the method declaration before the first parameter. The 'this' denotes an extension method. It defines the types of objects that will have this method available to be called on them.
Implement the interface in a Concrete class
namespace Domain {
public class Money : IComparable {
private double amount;
private string currency;
private CurrencyConverter converter;
public Money(CurrencyConverter converter, double amount, string currency) {
this.amount = amount;
this.currency = currency;
this.converter = converter;
public int CompareTo(object other) {
double otherAmount = converter.ConvertAmount(this.currency, (Money) other);
return this.amount.CompareTo(otherAmount);
Use the Code
namespace Domain {
using Mixin;
public class Account : IComparable {
private Money currentBalance;
public void Withdrawl(Money amount) {
if (currentBalance.LessThan(amount)) {
throw new BalanceExceededException(currentBalance);
// ... implement the rest of the method
public int CompareTo(object other) {
return currentBalance.CompareTo(((Account) other).currentBalance);
Now the LessThan and GreaterThan methods implementations are reusable on both the Money and the Account classes. They are of course available on any class that implements IComparable.
So now you can avoid some limitations of Single Inheritance and increase the amount of code reuse that is available to you with the concept of a Mixin. This is probably officially a 'sharp knife' so be careful with this kind of programming. It can be non-intuitive to people and can probably be greatly overused but it is a very valuable tool in many cases.

Photos: Rolling Stones rock Staples
Related: Rolling Stones performed first American show in San Bernardino
LOS ANGELES -- With a slight Peruvian accent that was muffled by the screams of nearly 20,000 fans, 63-year-old Silvia Llosa could be heard singing: "I Can't Get No ... Satisfaction!"
But by the look on her face, the Los Angeles transplant was more than satisfied by the moves of Mick Jagger.
"It's a masterpiece of rock 'n' roll," Llosa said, voice hoarse from cheering on her favorite band at The Staples Center on Friday.
Llosa was among the fortunate longtime -- and new -- fans that witnessed The Rolling Stones kick-off show for the London band's "50 & Counting Tour" that proved Jagger and Co. sing in a universal tongue.
While Friday night's show at the Staples Center was the first of the official tour, Jagger actually proclaimed a surprise show at the Echoplex on April 27 was "the first show of our North American tour."
That was the show Danny Winebarger, 21, of Los Feliz missed. Winebarger said he was just two spots away from winning admission to the exclusive show last weekend in Echo Park.
But with the chance to see his all-time favorite band so close he had to try, try again so Winebarger staked out L.A. Live like other Stones fan itching to get a ticket to the 2013 tour opener.
"The Rolling Stones is like the alphabet to me," the young aspiring rock star said, who was ironically sporting a Beatles-esque haircut. "I've been inspired by them since I was a kid."
Winebarger's friend and former band mate, 21-year-old Dave Martinez of Echo Park shares the same love of The Stones and the band's trailblazing rock career.
"They laid the groundwork for rock 'n' roll bands and the rock 'n' roll lifestyle," Martinez said. "No matter if you got into them from the beginning in the 1960s or any other part of their career, they're essential to what the world knows as rock 'n' roll."
It's definitely what Winebarger and Martinez know of rock 'n' roll as the two rocked monochrome colors, tight pants and leather as a tribute to the rock greats.
The duo never made it in to the 23-song, three-hour concert.
"As Mick says: 'You can't always get what you want,'" Martinez said.
Back inside The Staples Center, Llosa's 26-year-old daughter, also named Silvia, called her first Stones concert an emotional one as she attended it with her mother.
"The reason I love rock music so much is because of my mom," Silvia said, adding that while growing up it was all about The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.
To add to the emotional night, the younger Silvia sported her father's original band shirt from The Rolling Stones' 1994Voodoo Lounge Tour, bringing him along with them "in spirit" as her father is in Peru and couldn't make the show.
"It just amazes me how my mom and dad came from a completely different culture -- a different generation -- but we could share this moment," Silvia said.
The elder Silvia Llosa's face lit up every time Jagger strutted down the catwalk toward her section, which was right of the stage, one level above Jack Nicholson who Jagger gave a shout out to during the concert.
"I grew up with this music so coming with my kids now -- oh my God -- it's a nice feeling," she said, with tears welling up in her eyes as she continued to look at the elaborate stage being broken down after the show.
It was a family affair for the Ryans, too.
Kayo Ryan, 67, of Manhattan Beach was the only one of the eight-person group to have watched The Rolling Stones live prior to Friday's show.
Reveling in simply watching her 24-year-old daughter, Kate, and 34-year-old son, Drew, trade highlights of the show, Ryan said she convinced -- despite Jagger's "bad boy" persona of yore -- The Rolling Stones is a unifier.
"It's so neat to see them appreciate something I also appreciated when I was there age decades ago," Ryan said.
Ryan's first Stones experience was at The Forum in Inglewood in the 1980s. Ryan said before going to the show, while she listened to every album, she never watched the band perform on television and didn't know what to expect.
"I didn't know about how he struts around like that. I was used to The Beatles who just stood there, but Jagger's all over the place," Ryan said.
But what even more shocking than Jagger's pelvic persuasions, was what happened next.
"Mick Jagger flew over the crowd like he was Peter Pan and it was just unbelievable. I will never forgot that. He came right at us," Ryan said. "I don't think it had every been done before that. It left an impression, let me tell ya."
Jagger didn't do a fly over on Friday, but The Stones did pack surprises with special guest Gwen Stefani appearing for a duet with Jagger on "Wild Horses" and a battle of guitars between the Keiths -- Country star/"American Idol" judge Keith Urban and Keith Richards -- during an ultra-shredded "Respectable."
The next show of the 50 & Counting tour is Sunday in Oakland at the Oracle Arena and May 8 at the HP Pavilion in San Jose. The band returns for a Los Angeles encore at The Staples Center on May 20.
The Stones blew minds, ear drums and just about everybody's expectations on Friday making it clear that they've got much more than just one more shot at gaining new fans to live on as rock 'n' roll's greatest for 50 more and counting.
"The spirit of The Stones will carry through every generation," Martinez said. "The Stones are just timeless."

An elderly man whose deplorable living conditions sparked controversy and a community effort to keep him alive has been moved from his condemned home in Levan to an assisted living facility in Nephi.
Sometime in late January, Paul Mangelson tried to deliver food to 91-year-old Klarence Meldrum, a veteran who had refused to leave his house. When Mangelson arrived at the crumbling house beside a highway, he discovered that Meldrum had taken a turn for the worse.
"He wouldn't sit up and eat any of his meals," Mangelson said. "The other thing was, he had a bad cough and he just seemed like he was going downhill."
Meldrum's condition had been deteriorating for months, prompting neighbors to deliver food, water and heaters. But when he stopped eating, the community group decided it was time for more intervention, Mangelson said. Meldrum was removed from the home and is now living at the Heritage Hills Rehabilitation and Care Center.
Meldrum wasn't moved earlier because neighbors and family members believed he wanted to stay in the home until he died. He had strongly protested during past attempts to move him, and tried to escape when he was taken to a hospital for a checkup.
During that checkup, a doctor determined he was mentally competent. So neighbors felt they had no right to take him from the home.
But his living conditions little interaction with other people, being confined to his bed, and the general squalor of the home, where he had lived his entire life prompted debate in the community over how to care for him while respecting his decision.
Mike Royce, who with Mangelson was part of the group that delivered Meldrum's meals, said the elderly man's condition worsened last month, some time after his story was published in The Tribune. Meldrum was always a recluse, Royce said, but had become even more lethargic and unresponsive to visitors.
"Now we had somewhere between a medical necessity and a medical emergency," Royce said, adding that in recent months he wasn't sure how often Meldrum got out of bed, if at all.
A family member traveled to Levan to assess the situation and change Meldrum's bedding. According to Royce, as she and other women peeled back Meldrum's many layers of soiled blankets, it became obvious that he was not bathing or changing his clothes.
After Meldrum was removed from the bed, a local EMT drove him to the hospital in Nephi.
According to Mangelson, Meldrum was covered with sores. He said they looked like bedsores, but doctors described them as something else.
"They were sores like your clothing was stuck to your skin," he explained. "He wore his clothes all the time."
Meldrum remained in the hospital for "five or six days," Royce said. During that time he underwent physical therapy as well.
"He could not walk because he had been in a bed so long," Royce added.
Meldrum was then moved to the care center in Nephi, where he remained as of Friday. A receptionist at the center said she could not provide any information about him.
But by all available accounts, Meldrum is adjusting relatively well to life outside his Levan home. During a recent visit, Mangelson said he sat with Meldrum and brought him a glass of milk. Meldrum sipped half the milk through a straw and then dozed off, Mangelson said.
At one point during the visit, Meldrum described the care center as "tolerable," a notable change in attitude from previous attempts to get him treatment, Mangelson said.
Royce said Meldrum is "still not house broke, he still swears like a drunken sailor," but is doing better in the care center. Royce said he was told by Meldrum's relatives that they would not send him back to the home in Levan.
The move also has quelled controversy in the community. Part-time Levan resident Dennis Gardner, who said he wanted to add plumbing and basic improvements to Meldrum's home in 2012, has called community efforts to help Meldrum inadequate.
But Gardner said Friday that he was pleased Meldrum is out of the condemned house and receiving constant care. Royce and Mangelson expressed similar sentiments, saying that Meldrum's improved living conditions mean he may be around for a long time.
"Who knows how long he'll live?" Mangelson said. "He'll probably outlive us all."

After-Hours: When the Shows End, the Parties Begin
Ali Larter is no stranger to using dessert to advance her career. A few strategically placed squirts of Reddi-wip in the 1999 football flick Varsity Blues took the New Jersey native from relative unknown to in-demand starlet with roles in Heroes and Legally Blonde. But tonight, as she stands in her Hollywood Hills kitchen putting the finishing touches on a salted caramel plum tarte tatin, the 37-year-old insists résumé building is the farthest thing from her mind.
Okay, well, not farthest: The dish is from Kitchen Revelry, Larter's how-to guide for the aspiring hostess, out this month from St. Martin's Press. And its release is the reason she has gathered 10 friends—including Joshua Jackson (with whom she appeared in Dawson's Creek) and actor James Marsden—for an alfresco feast in her impeccably manicured backyard. Still, "I'd be throwing a party anyway—book or no book," says Larter, who lives with her husband of four years, Bachelorette actor Hayes MacArthur. "Our door's always open—even if it's friends coming over just to crack open some beers."
Entertainers penning cookbooks isn't exactly a new phenomenon (Liberace was offering fans a peek into delicacies from his "seven dining rooms" back in 1970), but after the wild success of the Gwyneth Paltrow–helmed Goop, it seems like every comely star in Hollywood is jumping on the domestic-goddess bandwagon. (Jessica Alba, Eva Longoria, and Sheryl Crow have all come out with lifestyle tomes recently; Cameron Diaz has one in the works for next year). While Larter, mother to son Teddy, almost three, admits Paltrow was an inspiration—"I saw that she was a working mother who did Goop and still continued to do films"—she insists her interest in the project was organic. "I sincerely wanted to share with people what I've learned about entertaining," says Larter.

Individual Historic Resources and Landmarks
- Historic Landmarks
- National Historic Landmarks
- Conservation Landmarks
- Properties listed in the Historic Resource Inventory (HRI)
- Finding more information
There are many ways that historic resources can be classified or designated. They range from being listed in a local inventory of potentially significant properties to being designated as a National Historic Landmark by the U. S. Department of the Interior. A resource may carry more than one "official" classification or designation. Generally, the "highest" level of designation determines which rules and benefits apply. It is important to understand the different types of designations, how they are applied, and what the different benefits and responsibilities are.
Historic designations used by the City of Portland for individual historic resources are described below. Historic districts are discussed in the Historic & Conservation Districts section of this web site. The designation process and how regulations and benefits apply to the different types of resources are discussed in the Historic Resource Rules & Benefits section.
1. Historic Landmarks
Historic landmarks are individual resources, such as buildings, sites, trees, statues, signs, or other objects that are significant for their historical, cultural, archaeological, or architectural merit. They have one or more characteristics of citywide, statewide or national significance. Portland has approximately 500 historic landmarks. They tend to be located in older inner-city areas and along main streets and former streetcar lines. They range from modest single-family homes to downtown skyscrapers, warehouses, and parks. There are two types of historic landmark:
"Local" or "Portland" Landmarks
These are individual resources that have been locally designated by the City of Portland because of their historic, cultural, archaeological, or architectural significance and for their role in helping create Portland's character. Designation criteria and processes are described in chapters 33.445 and 33.846 in Portland's Zoning Code.
"National Register Properties"
These are individual resources that have been listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The National Register is used by federal, state, and local governments, private groups and citizens to identify the nation's most significant historic resources. These resources are significant in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and/or culture at the local, state, or national level. The actual register (or list of properties) is maintained by the "Keeper" of the National Register of Historic Places of the National Park Service in Washington, D.C. The program is administered by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) in each state. Oregon's State Historic Preservation Office receives comments on new National Register applications in Portland from the Portland Historic Landmarks Commission (PHLC).
Locally designated and National Register-listed historic landmarks are generally treated the same in Portland's Zoning Code, with the same regulations and incentives applying to both types. An exception is demolition review, which is required only for National Register-listed properties.
Financial incentives and other programs are offered by the Portland Development Commission, the State Historic Preservation Office, and the National Park Service. These opportunities are usually only available to National Register-listed properties, not local landmarks. If a resource carries both designations, its "higher" status as a National Register property would typically make it eligible. Historic Landmarks have access to historic preservation zoning incentives such as transfer of development rights and the right to a more flexible range of potential uses. See section 33.610 of the Zoning Code for more information about zoning incentives. See the Historic Resource Rules & Benefits page for more about how different designations are applied and used.
2. National Historic Landmarks
National Historic Landmarks are National Register properties that have been recognized by the Secretary of the Interior as possessing exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the history of the United States. They may be individual resources, such as buildings, or entire districts. Because they are also listed on the National Register, they are treated as such by the Portland Zoning Code—either as individually listed National Register historic landmarks or as National Register historic districts. Portland has just two National Historic Landmarks: the Pioneer Courthouse and the Skidmore/Old Town Historic District. More information can be found on the National Historic Landmarks Program web site.
3. Conservation Landmarks
Conservation landmarks are individual resources that have been locally designated by the City of Portland because of their historic, cultural, archaeological, or architectural merit but may have a "lesser" level of significance than historic landmarks. Portland has 12 conservation landmarks. They have been evaluated according to criteria contained in sections 33.445 and 33.846 of Portland's Zoning Code. Some of the zoning code regulations and incentives that apply to historic landmarks apply to conservation landmarks, but not others (see the Historic Resource Rules & Benefits page). Most state and federal incentives are not available to Conservation Landmarks, unless the property is also listed on the National Register.
Note: when the Zoning Code uses the shortened term "landmark," it is referring to both historic landmarks and conservation landmarks. See chapter 33.910.
4. Properties listed in the Historic Resources Inventory (HRI)
In 1984 the City of Portland completed and adopted a citywide inventory of more than 5,000 properties that were determined to have potential historical and architectural significance. The inventory was undertaken to support development of the City's Comprehensive Plan and to comply with the Statewide Planning Goals. Being listed in the HRI is not a true historic "designation." Additional documentation and evaluation is generally required before City designation or National Register listing is warranted for many of these properties. The only zoning regulation that applies to HRI-listed properties, unless they also have a "higher" designation, is a required 120-day demolition delay period. Local, state and federal incentives are not available, unless the property also has another "higher" listing.
While the HRI is now more than 20 years old, it remains a useful preservation planning and research tool. Copies may be viewed at the Multnomah County Library and the Oregon Historical Society. An Excel table exported from the obsolete database in which most of the HRI's data was stored may be downloaded via the link below. However, some data fields have been truncated and there may be other inconsistencies between the file and the 27-volume printed version, which should be considered the official, adopted inventory. In addition, the Excel table does not reflect the removal of approximately 50 properties from the inventory since 1984. The table is therefore provided "as-is."
1984 Portland Historic Resources Inventory (Excel)
Other Inventories
Historic inventories for selected parts of the city, including the Albina Community Plan area and the Northwest District were completed by City staff and community groups in the 1990s but never officially adopted as part of the HRI. However, these inventories are useful for architectural research and preservation planning purposes. They may be reviewed by making advance arrangements with Bureau of Planning historic resources staff.
5. Finding more information
There are many potential sources of information about individual historic properties. For properties listed in the National Register, the original nomination form is usually the best place to start. Nomination forms contain a wealth of information about a resource's physical attributes, historical context, and significant architectural characteristics and historical associations. They also contain bibliographies that point to additional sources. The State Historic Preservation Office maintains copies of all National Register Nominations in Oregon. The National Park Service maintains the online National Register Information System (NRIS), a database that contains information on places listed in or determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. For locally designated Historic Landmarks, less information is generally available because they are often not as well documented as National Register properties. This is primarily because most of Portland's local landmarks were designated in the 1970s and 1980s, when there were fewer documentation requirements.
The locations of historic landmarks are shown on the City's official zoning maps with a dot. You may download a list of Portland's landmarks that contains basic information such as address, year of construction and architectural style. A citywide map showing landmark locations is also available.
The City of Portland maintains files on all individual landmarks within the city's boundaries; these files include nomination forms and other information, such as design review reports and background research. The files may be viewed by making arrangements in advance with the Bureau of Development Services (BDS). Photocopies can be made for a fee. Contact the Bureau of Development Services for more information: 503-823-7526. (Note: the City is in the process of digitizing Portland National Register nominations and hopes to make them available electronically in the near future).
There are many other sources of information about historic resources, including local and state libraries, special collections, and public records. The Planning Bureau has prepared a guide, Researching Your Historic Property, to help property owners and researchers find the information they need and enjoy the process of investigation. A summary of the zoning regulations that apply to historic resources is also available.

For sleek looks, performance, and just plain fun on the water, we think today's express cruisers are better than ever.
The Princess V39 is on hand, a great starting point for this British builder to introduce a number of quality models to American boaters. The company is also showing a new 57 and other motor-yachts you don't want to miss—keep reading.
Riva has long brought a heightened sense of style to American shores. The new Riva 63 Virtus is no exception: From her striking radar mast to her seductive hull, she draws the eye and stimulates the senses. The company's 86 Domino and 27 Iseo will also be at the show.
That crowd gathered at the docks may be around the Atlantis 58, which can have a striking color scheme that highlights her sharp design. And she'll have her 38-foot sibling in tow. Meanwhile the Zeelander 44 creates a stir with a profile springing from the art deco period with the paint job to match.
The Cruisers 41 and 45 Cantius show up with layouts ready to entertain, while the nimble 380 Express is certainly worth a look for the sporty set.
Hullside windows catch the eye on the Riviera 500 Sport, and performance will catch the heart. The Sunseeker 48 Portofino puts the owner's suite aft, while scissoring single berths in the bow open up the accommodation options. Meanwhile the new Sea Ray 510 Sundancer adds an optional third stateroom into the mix. Sea Ray has new 37- and 35-footers to show off as well.
For spirited performance, the Uniesse 55 Sport hits 35 knots with a standard pair of 800-horsepower MAN diesels and the new Lazzara 64 LSX reaches the same mark with twin 900-horsepower Volvos matched to IPS1200s. Meanwhile the Pershing 92 is said to hit a rollicking 41 knots with her Arneson surface drives turned by two 2,638-horsepower MTUs.
The Maritimo 43 comes with standard Volvo stern drives, but traditional shafts and nontraditional pods are also offered. However, the real choice lies in the accommodations plans, where there's an option to sleep six below.
Put the people first and you may end up with a boat like the Tiara 4500, where the size of the swim platform and a gaping sunroof make for enjoyable days on the water. Meanwhile, Regal's 42 and 46 make great boating days hard to beat with an open-air layout and plenty of room for sun-drenched get-togethers.
The Sealine SC38 heralds the British builder's continued return to this side of the Atlantic after a corporate-enforced ten-year hiatus. The 38 is an update of the 35-footer that set European hearts aflutter, and she's accompanied by a pair of larger models, the F48 and C48.
Fairline's 50 Targa GT uses a huge sliding sunroof to open the entire saloon space to overhead breezes, and multiplying overall enjoyment. Need ten more feet? Fairline's got a 60 Targa GT to show off as well.
The Prestige 500S is equipped with many features carried on much larger yachts. It starts with a tender garage and numerous hullside windows, but the list gets long by the time the three-stateroom layout is added.

Québec City's alluring setting atop Cape Diamond (Cap Diamant) speaks to travelers of high adventure, military history, and exploration. This French-speaking capital city is the only walled city north of Mexico. Visitors come for the delicious and inventive cuisine, the remarkable historical continuity, and to share in the seasonal exuberance of the largest Francophone population outside of France.
The essence of this community is the Old City (Vieux-Québec), comprising the part of Upper Town (Haute-Ville) surrounded by walls and Lower Town (Basse-Ville), which spreads out at the base of the hill. Many sets of staircases and the popular funicular link the top of the hill with the bottom. Cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages, and elaborate cathedrals here are charming in all seasons. The Old City earned recognition as an official UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985, thanks largely to city planners who managed to update and preserve the 400-year-old buildings and attractions without destroying the historic feel. The most familiar icon of the city, Fairmont Château Frontenac, set on the highest point in Upper Town, holds court over the entire city.
At the confluence of the St-Lawrence and St-Charles rivers, the city's famous military fortification, La Citadelle, was built of sandstone and remains the largest of its kind in North America. Visitors in summer should try to catch the Changing of the Guard, held every morning at 10 am; you can get much closer to the guards here than at Buckingham Palace in London.
Enchanting as it is, the Old City is just a small part of the true Québec City experience. Think outside the walls and explore St-Roch, Québec's new hot spot with artsy galleries and a bustling square. Cruise the Grand Allée and avenue Cartier to find a more lively part of town dotted with nightclubs and chic eateries. Or while away the hours in St-Jean-Baptiste, the bohemian quarter of the city with trendy shops and hipster hangouts.
