PORTSMOUTH ? A city resident charged with hiring a prostitute in Maine was caught because he called police to complain that the woman ?shorted him 10 minutes,? :huh: said Old Orchard Beach Police Sgt. Gerard Hamilton.

Charged with a count of ?engaging a prostitute? is Scott Pipher, 34, with a last known address of 358 Court St.

Old Orchard Beach Police announced Pipher's arrest on Monday, but Hamilton said the case began in the spring. The sergeant said Pipher called police on March 25 and complained that the woman he hired did ?not give him his money's worth? by cutting their time together by ten minutes.

Hamilton said Old Orchard Beach detectives launched an investigation, which led to the arrests of two alleged prostitutes, also announced Monday. He said Pipher contacted the alleged prostitutes through a Web site.

Pipher's last known address is a historic home at Strawbery Banke Museum, but someone from the nonprofit organization called Old Orchard Police to report he no longer lives there, said Hamilton. Pipher did not return a message seeking his comment and police in Maine and Portsmouth reported having no other address for him.

He's scheduled to be arraigned in the Biddeford Maine District Court on Dec. 12.

Pipher is named on the Web sites National Blacklist and Bad Boy Client List as someone who has prompted complaints from so-called escorts. The sites serve as databases for escorts to share information about clients.

On one Web site, Pipher is described as being ?notorious for booking out-calls and then not answering his door or phone.? According to a Portsmouth police report, an officer was dispatched to Pipher's former residence on Sept. 30 when a woman complained that she was booked to perform a private dance, but said the man who ordered the dance refused to answer his door when she arrived.

The dancer claimed it was a theft of her services, but police Capt. Mike Schwartz countered it wasn't a theft because she never danced.

A week later, police said, they were called by a woman who said she was hired as an ?exotic dancer? to go to the same address, became ?freaked out? by the man who hired her and fled in such a hurry she left some of her clothing behind.

Deputy Police Chief Corey MacDonald said police investigators had difficulty with witnesses in both of those instances and there was no related arrest.

    • Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a bunch of Dolby Atmos soundbar deals with several ones from Sony, as well as from JBL, Samsung, Polk Audio, and more. You can check them out in this dedicated piece. Those are not audiophile category speakers though as they are built with home theater use in mind. If you are searching for the former then Edifier has its S3000MKII at its lowest price at the moment (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is a two-way bookshelf monitor speaker designed to produce accurate sound. While it may not produce the best high-fidelity audio possible out there, it should still be significantly better than what you will get on soundbars of this price range. As such it will do justice to high-res audio played back through it. The only thing that may feel lacking is sub-bass as Edifier claims the unit can go down to 38 Hz, which should be enough for studio monitor purposes, but not for deep room-shaking rumbling bass. Where this does excel though is in its treble reproduction. With its super-tweeter, it claims to go as high as 40 kHz in the frequency spectrum, which should offer a sense of "air"yness. This is an active speaker which means it packs its own amplfication. It has a top-notch Class D amp that may be able to rival many Class AB designs too in terms of sound reproduction quality. The technical specs of the Edifier S3000MKII are given in the table below: Specification Value RMS Output Power 256W RMS (Treble: 8W × 2, Mid-Low: 120W × 2) Tweeter Driver 107mm × 107mm Planar Magnetic Tweeter Mid-Low Driver 6.5-inch (179mm) Long-Throw Aluminum Diaphragm Driver Frequency Response 38Hz – 40kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio ≥ 85dB (A) Bluetooth Version Bluetooth 5.0 Bluetooth Codec Qualcomm® aptX™ HD Wireless Speaker Link Proprietary 5.8GHz wireless connection between speakers Supported Hi-Res Audio Hi-Res Audio Certified, up to 24-bit/192kHz Digital Processing XMOS XU216 Digital Signal Processor Audio Inputs Balanced XLR, Optical, Coaxial, USB Type-B, Line In, Bluetooth Input Sensitivity (USB) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Optical) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Coaxial) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Bluetooth) 450 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Balanced XLR) 1000 ± 50mV Input Sensitivity (Line In) 600 ± 50mV ADC Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DSP Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DIX Capability Up to 24-bit/216kHz DAC Capability Up to 32-bit/384kHz XMOS Processing Power Up to 2,000 MIPS Edifier S3000MKII Audiophile Active (Powered) Wireless Speakers: $799.99 (Sold by Edifier US, Shipped by Amazon US) If you do not have the kind of budget to spend on the S3000MKII, you can also check out the Edifier R1280Ts which is right now on sale at just $114 (its lowest price in a very long time).

    • Ignoring the fact that this "colony" kicked the empire of King George's arse during those early years... You are confusing the First Industrial Revolution (which was clearly pulled out of some butt-hurt Brit historian's arse after the fact) with the Second Industrial Revolution (aka now called the Technological Revolution, undoubtedly by that same butt-hurt Brit), which transitioned the world from the UK/UPS Empire to the USA as the world's only superpower. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Revolution I hope you realize that I am having big fun here.
