BREVARD -- Since its establishment in 1959, the Melbourne Alumnae Panhellenic organization has been a strong supporter of local collegiate women, who are working diligently toward their dreams.
Keeping with the spirit of scholarship support, the MAP will host "River Rendezvous: Mediterranean Mystique" on Sunday, March 23 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the home of Teresa and Rick McNeight on Lansing Island in Indian Harbour Beach.
Reservations for the event must be made by Saturday, March 15. There are several reservation and sponsorship levels available, beginning with an individual reservation, called "Aladdin's Lamp," for $65 to as much as $765 for the "Ultimate Oasis," which includes eight reservations.
All proceeds from the event will support scholarships for undergraduate women from Brevard County, who are currently members of a National Panhellenic Conference organization at a Florida college or university.
"We are a group of alumnae of any National Panhellenic Conference fraternity, who live in Brevard County," said Diane Chasick, co-chair of this year's River Rendezvous. "MAP was established in 1959, with the mission of assisting in the promotion of advance education of NPC sorority women by granting scholarships to qualified students."
To date, Mrs. Chasick said MAP has provided more than $250,000 in scholarships to Brevard County sorority women, who attend college in Florida.
"The number of scholarships varies from year to year, depending upon the number of applicants and the amount of money raised the previous year," she added. "Our goal this year is to fund four collegiate scholarships."
This year's River Rendezvous: Mediterranean Mystique will be quite the occasion, filled with exotic dining providing by Creative Catering by the Farinas, as well as music, dancing and merchants.
"In our Mediterranean-style bazaar, attendees will peruse through a unique clothing boutique, a jewelry designer, a florist with flair, specialized travel pillow designer, personalized T-shirts and more," Mrs. Chasick said. "Attendees will also be able to learn how to belly dance, tango or learn a Greek step."
Much more entertainment will be provided throughout the event, including performances by professional dancers.
"In addition to having a beautiful river view, we will have a photographer, who will be capturing photos of attendees in Mediterranean backgrounds," Mrs. Chasick said.
There will also be some tremendous prizes up for grabs during this year's River Rendezvous.
"We will have a number of specialty gift baskets, bursting with jewelry, leather purses, certificates for great items, such as fine dining to the most favorite personal-care professionals in town," Mrs. Chasick added. "We also have a week at a condo in North Carolina, which was donated by a member."
Mrs. Chasick also added that the MAP is still hoping for the donating of a trip to an exotic location for attendees to bid on.
With so many wonderful and exotic things, Melbourne Alumnae Panhellenic's River Rendezvous is sure to be a great event, with its success directly benefitting collegiate women along the Space Coast.
"We hope that people attend to support MAP in our mission to help Brevard County women earn a college education," Mrs. Chasick said. "It's also a beautiful afternoon in a magnificent home, with prominent people in attendance, and everyone will have a fun and fabulous time."
The Melbourne Alumnae Panhellenic will host "River Rendezvous: Mediterranean Mystique" on Sunday, March 23 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the home of Teresa and Rick McNeight on Lansing Island in Indian Harbour Beach.
Reservations for the event must be made by Saturday, March 15.

The start of the 2013-14 NFL season was delayed on Thursday night thanks to some poor weather coming through Denver. The defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos were set to kick off the season at Sports Authority Field at Mile High, but lightning sparked a delay that let us all waiting for kick off.
Damn you, Baltimore Orioles.
Let's take this time to remember that the game should have been held in Baltimore, but the Orioles refused to change their game time so the game was shifted to Mile High.
Now, we must wait for kick off — and Carrie Underwood's new intro on NBC — while the rain settles through.
Unfortunately, it looks like the storm front will continue to pour through.
Whenever the game finally restarts, we can enjoy football's return and see what AFC giant will get off on the right foot. Until then, we are forced to watch more of Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth as they discuss the same topics that have been discussed for the past few weeks.

This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
Sweet Cuties is a place where real amateur babes and college coeds aged 18 to 22 show off for the camera. Some go topless, others are totally nude, masturbating, sucking dick or even going all the way in some hot fucking action.
The nubile ladies showcased on SweetCuties are definitely the "chick next door" types and include Caucasian, dark-skinned and Spanish hotties. Site design is very amateur and rather than having picture and video sections, all the babes are thrown together on five pages. Some of them have pics, others have videos and some have both.
There is presently 118 videos and 95 photo sets. Pictures of each chick range in quantity from 40 to 100+ and all pictures are medium-res by our standards. There's no Zip download for the images, which is really too bad. You'll find big-tittied babes in the shower with their bodies all sudsy and many outdoor solo shoots.
The quality of the videos is really all over the place. There a handful of poor ones and many are average to good, if you look around enough you'll find a few flicks with great to excellent-quality playback. Some are MPEGs, while others come in Windows Media and Real Media formats. They range from playful flashing to even some scenes of blowjobs and hardcore sex.
In terms of bonus material, there are some links to other sites, but if you'll have to pay a fee to access them. There is also a bonus photo set of cute gals partying it up at Mardi Gras. It seems that this site stopped updating for a while, but I'm happy to report that they seem to be back to weekly updates.
There are always going to be amateur gals wanting to show their goodies for the camera and there will always be these kinds of porn sites. That said, although Sweet Cuties has weekly updates and a solid amount of content, they're going to need to step up their game in terms of design to keep up.

Stay away - avoid it like the plague!
I was a member some years ago, and at the time the videos were OK quality. Rejoined now (Aug 2011) and there are hardly any new videos!! There is a claim on the member's front page that the site has updated recently, but there is no such model on the page referred to.
Overall, a big disappointment, and nothing but a ripoff.
The newest videos I can find are small, and low rate, so the quality is poor.
Site design and layout is a tragedy - just 4 pages with lists of models, no info about the sets, and no way to find which content is newest or in the best quality.

1923 - 2012
Mary Louise Tompkins passed from this life to her eternal home on Thursday,
December 27 at the age of 89. She will be greatly missed. She was born to Louise
Emily Marie Blanc and Leonce A. Chabre at St. Mary Hospital in Walla Walla, Washington
on June 21, 1923. She attended St. Patrick's High School, graduating in 1940
and attended Walla Walla Business College.
In 1972, she graduated from Walla Walla Community College as a registered
nurse. In high school, she cooked for the family herders at their summer
sheep camps. After business college, Mary Louise worked at Tompkins
and Nibler as an accountant and at US McCaw Hospital as a clerk typist
during World War II. After receiving her RN, Mary Louise worked at St.
Mary Hospital and Walla Walla VA Hospital as a nurse.
Mary Louise married her high school sweetheart, 2nd Lt. Charles Joseph
(Joe) Tompkins on April 14, 1944 at Marfa Army Air Base, Brewster
County, Texas. One week after the wedding, he was sent to the European
Theater of War, returning two years later. They celebrated 68 years of
marriage this year. They had four children: Douglas, Rebecca, JoAnne
and Raphael. They lived near Walla Walla where they farmed for ten years,
then moved to town when Joe became an owner of Tompkins and Nibler,
a seed processing firm founded by his father, Ray Tompkins, in 1924.
In the late 1940s, she and another young farm wife, Helen Rea, formed
a bridge group of eight farm couples who enjoyed potlucks, cards and
friendship for 54 years, until the infirmities of old age and death took
their toll.
She was blessed with an inquisitive nature and enjoyed classes in
drawing, painting, creative writing, Spanish and many others. As a child
she loved to gallop her horse over the Snake River plateaus and began a
lifelong love of swimming, learning in mountain streams and the Snake
River. In her forties, she earned her Water Safety Instructor certification
and became a YMCA Dolphinette, taking part in aquatic performances.
She and her husband were avid downhill skiers from the time they
helped build Spout Springs Ski Resort in their twenties until they were 72
years old. She was an accomplished seamstress and tailor, making many
of her own and her children's clothes and sewing creative Halloween
costumes for her five beloved grandchildren. She was an active member
of Birthright, Human Life, St. Patrick's Altar Society, Camp Fire Girls, MS
Society, Volunteer Chore Services, and Ft. Walla Walla Museum.
Because of their love of travel, Mary Louise and Joe traveled by car to
48 states and parts of Canada. They also visited Alaska and Hawaii and
eleven foreign countries. For ten years, they spent six months a year as
"snow birds" at Paradise Resort, Sun City, Arizona.
Preceding her in death are her parents, her one sibling, Albert Chabre
and his wife, Ermina, and a nephew, Leonce Chabre. Survivors are her beloved
husband, Joe, her two sons Douglas Tompkins of Pasco, Ray Tompkins
and his wife Anne of Snohomish, Washington; her two daughters
Rebecca Fulfs and her husband Le of Kennewick and JoAnne Tompkins
and her husband Jon Schorr of Seattle; grandsons Nathan Fulfs and his
wife Emily of Seattle; Joshua Fulfs of Portland, Oregon; granddaughters
Alexa Curry of Seattle and Laura and Sarah Tompkins of Snohomish;
one great grandson Kieran Fulfs of Seattle; and nephews Wayne
Chabre and wife Jeanne McMenemy, Barry Chabre and Randy Chabre
all of Walla Walla; one niece Donna Ruddell and her husband George of
Wenatchee, Washington.
A memorial Mass will be held at Assumption Catholic Church on Friday,
January 4 at 2:00 p.m. The Rosary will be recited at 7:00 pm. the night
before, January 3, at Herring Groseclose Funeral Home, 315 W. Alder, Walla
Walla, WA. Memorial donations may be made to Catholic Charities or
other charity of choice through the funeral home.

The picture above is from protests in New Dehli, India, in the wake of a horrific gang rape that killed the woman- who was hospitalized for 10 days, and was even transported to Singapore to receive specialized medical treatment. The woman was in her early 20's, a med student, and was on the bus with a friend, when she was attacked by a group of men- they beat both her and her friend, the group of men raped her, also raped her with a metal rod, stripped them, and threw them off the bus. She suffered severe organ damage, lung infection, and brain damage.
Here are some initial comments from members of End Pornography and Patriarchy about this atrocity:
The woman who was kidnapped and gang-raped and beaten brutally on a bus two weeks ago has just died. This is a fucking outrage. Many thousands have protested in Delhi and other parts of India, which is very good.
To all those who have been asked what harm porn & the sex industry do, this was not a sole lunatic man. This was a whole group of men who together saw this as something that they could do "for fun" — and ALL of them participated in this. This is a CULTURAL thing, not an individual thing. And it is not a big fucking coincidence that one of the most popular forms of pornography is GANGRAPE PORN. Nor is it all that coincidental that one of the biggest sellers of official commercial porn is the "Bang Bus" series — where a couple of guys drive around and pick up random women under the guise of just offering them a ride and then proceed to "convince" them to do all sorts of degrading sex acts for money, but then kick them off the bus without paying — laughing and filming their anger as they get left on the side of some random street.
This is a sick, sick, brutal and horrific culture — one we must fight and end.
I just saw this news on a tumblr post. The doctors caring for her had the gall to say that she died 'peacefully.' Not sure WTF they were referring to…doesn't sound like it was at ALL a peaceful way to die.
I really agree with the comment about porn, in particular gang rape porn…these incidents of gang rape aren't somehow isolated from the larger society and culture. There was a gang rape that happened to a 16 year old HS girl in Stuebenville, OH by members of the HS football team in August 2012. She did not know what had happened to her- she was unconscious/drunk throughout the rape. The town evidently wanted to cover over that this had happened, but they seem to have gained the attention of a group called Anonymous.
There are other gang rapes that have also been turned into 'virtual' pornography, like the Richmond gang rape: http://revcom.us/a/182/Richmond-en.html
There is also the list of women raped in India that someone sent out….the woman that was subjected to rape after rape, after rape. After the first rape, being discarded, and left for dead, but then found by some men, raped by them, discarded again, found by yet more men and raped again, ….that is absolutely horrific, and a very clear example of patriarchy- not just one or two lunatics acting alone.
Not only is pornography an influence on men seeing gang rape as a way to get off, and bonding together over the brutality they are inflicting on the woman/women they gang rape, then they can turn the actual rapes into pornography, for more men to bond over, to influence how those men see sex/women, etc…. Insane feedback loop, that more people need to get clarity on!!! How HORRIFYING that this shit happens to women, that pornography and rape and GANG RAPE happens to women. There are just no words for this kind of shit.
How anyone can justify any rape on the grounds that "she really wanted it" I call BULLSHIT on that. Yet again, another myth made with porn…that she says no, but really means yes. To quote Andrea Dworkin: "The only fiction in pornography is the smile on the woman's face."

And you thought your job sucked... A TMZ photog wretched his guts out trying to shoot Lance Armstrong last night.
Our guy was running alongside Lance during a Twitter run in NYC... but let's just say it might be time for him to renew his gym membership.
Two minutes into the race, the photog lost his cookies, narrowly missing the champ.
We're putting Richard Simmons on the case.
Maybe some steroids would help the photog.
Nice way for Lance to celebrate his 40th birthday...but I suppose it's better than TMZ chasing Casey Anthony around.
Someone's got major heart issues.
...throwing up after 2 mins of running is not good.
All that trouble and running just to get a picture of icky Armstrong??? Why bother. Nobody cares.
Too freaking fat!!! Americans are just fat azzes. That was 2 funny.
It might be time for the fat f*ck to stop eating pies.
"Lance I just threw up" ... WTF? what did you want a medal?
Should be "retched", not "wretched". Two different words, two different meanings.
I agree with justice-4-kelly, something is wrong. You don't vomit after a short run.
TMZ. Employing the unemployable.
Well, that's what he got for eating Taco's for breakfast..
At least he's dedicated to his job!


text: MINNEAPOLIS, MN (WHBL) - The Milwaukee Brewers have lost seven of their last eight to the Minnesota Twins, falling 6-4 Wednesday night in Minneapolis. The Twins broke a 4-4 tie in the bottom of the seventh with run-scoring singles by Oswaldo Arcia and Trevor Plouffe. Rob Wooten took the loss, after he gave up the deciding run in two-thirds of an inning. He's now 1-3. Twins' starter Ricky Nolasco got the win, as he struck out seven in seven frames. Nolasco is now 4-5. Glen Perkins pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his 16th save. Designated hitter Aramis Ramirez hit a three-run homer in his first game for the Brewers after he strained a hamstring almost a month ago. Mark Reynolds drove home Milwaukee's other run with a double. Arcia had a three-run homer for the Twins, which hit the right-field foul pole. It was served up by Brewers' starter Marco Estrada, who has now given up a Major League-leading 18 homers this season. Minnesota first baseman Joe Mauer ended his Interleague hitting steak at 20 games as he went 0 for 4. The Twins have now won two straight and three of their last four. The Brewers have now lost identical 6-4 contests to the Twins in two different stadiums. The Crew will go for a split of the four-game home-and-home series tonight at Target Field. Right-hander Wily Peralta faces Twins' right-hander Kevin Correia. Pregame coverage on WHBL gets underway at 6:35.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – A new study finds radiation doses for common ct procedures vary widely, which ties in with a recent report from the FDA that at least 250 people have been exposed to extremely high doses of radiation during routine scans, that could put them at an increased risk of cancer. Researchers at the University of California San Francisco studied the radiation exposure linked to eleven common CT procedures and found radiation exposure, which for some patients was 13 times higher than other patients undergoing the same procedure.
"What we've learned is that we're getting a lot of radiation from CT scans and there is a lot of variability in the radiation that we're getting from different types of CT scans and that there are a lot of excess cancers," said Dr. Rita Redberg, with the University of California at San Francisco.
Researchers say more needs to be done to standardize CT scans, especially since the procedure is becoming more popular among healthy people as a preventive measure.

If you look at the photo above it illustrates a post-mortem fracture. You can determine this easily due to the colour difference on the edge of the fracture where it is a much lighter colour compared to the rest of the skull and the crumbly nature of the cut.
Quick Tips: How can you tell if a fracture is ante, peri or post-mortem?
There is a relatively easy way to see whether a fracture to a skeleton is ante, peri or even post mortem. It is essential to detail and deduce which category a fracture falls into, as this is very important to see whether the fracture had played a part in the person's death.
To first classify a fracture we need to understand what the different categories mean, some of you will already know these terminology but here's a quick reminder:
- If a fracture is ante-mortem, it means that the fracture was made before death of the persons.
- With peri-mortem fractures, it means that the fracture was received at or near the time of death of the persons – so could have been the fatal strike.
- Post-mortem fractures are fractures that have been received after death, so during the time from death to the time of recovery. These fractures are usually from excavation processes, dismemberment, or even natural processes (soil, animal and plant activity).
You will be able to determine if a bone fracture was ante-mortem due to there being signs of healing which is shown by cell regrowth and repair. With peri-mortem fractures the person died before the healing started to take place, but the fractures will still contain the biomechanics that are present in ante-mortem fractures (Smith, 2010). Post-mortem breaks tend to shatter compared to peri-mortem breaks which splinter, this is because bones which are in the post-mortem stage tend to be dry and rather brittle (Smith, 2010). Another big indicator of a fracture being post-mortem is the difference in colour.

The Schofield PTO issued a letter yesterday based on a study of 's air quality conducted Friday.
The study, conducted by Universal Environmental Consultants of Framingham, said that all but two classrooms in the school's "1993 Wing" had acceptable carbon dioxide levels.
All other areas tested were within Indoor Air Quality standards, according to the study.
Here's the unedited PTO letter:
I am pleased to report Joe McDonough has worked magic and has brought in HVAC technicians who have completely reworked, readjusted, cleaned, installed filters, replaced parts and reassembled the univents in our classrooms. This was done throughout the 1993 wing, as well as the rest of the school. Why is this a big deal? Because mold, lethargy, headaches and increased exposure to airborne germs and illness are all symptoms of poor ventilation due to a poorly or non- operating ventilation system. FINALLY, after a decade of documented, subpar environmental health and air quality conditions at Schofield, the moisture and ventilation issues are actually being fixed! YAY!
Based upon historic and recent testing results which indicated levels of CO2 greater than industry standards for school aged children and adults, Joe McDonough pursued HVAC experts to maximize the capability of our univent system. These univents were in remarkably poor condition…..dirty, installed incorrectly, lacking components for proper exhaust, functioning at 10% capacity and requiring a change in extremely old filters. A decade of nominal maintenance and no attention to historic testing results left our classrooms without adequate ventilation. This negatively impacted the entire school.
In addition to the ventilation problems, Michael Feeney identified issues related to the way the 1993 wing was constructed. All across the rear corridor along the windowed wall, the building lacks insulation and remains moisture permeable. A capital fix will be required and Joe McDonough has been researching the best approach to solve the problem and limit future issues. This is great, as we want a safe, cost efficient and long lasting solution that solves the problem, not causes additional issues in the future. He also has been working with Michael Feeney and Lenny Izzo to manage our behavior to limit the potential for mold. Interestingly, the 1993 wing is like a basement, and our behavior is as important as any capital repair in managing environmental health.
Gerardo addressed the ventilation limitations of the modular classrooms and the proposed capital fix. Again, documented environmental testing had demonstrated a problem since the installation of the modular classrooms, and FINALLY our problem that impacts the health and wellbeing of our Schofield Community will be addressed and fixed.
Michael Feeney, the Director of the Environmental Health of the MA Department of Public Health will be issuing a Final Report on his evaluation of Schofield and will be scheduling a session to present his findings, recommendations and answer our questions. He has been an incredible resource and source of knowledge and bases all of his findings on facts and science. We will keep everyone apprised of the scheduled date and time of his presentation to our community and are shooting for an evening session in January. This will allow our full community - including our teachers the opportunity to attend and participate in the information and question session.

Good Questions: Good looking File Cabinet?
Anyone know where to get a good-looking file cabinet? We're not really feeling the Staples-generic cabinet, and nothing at Ikea is striking our fancy...but we definitely need something that can help us keep us organized (and maybe hold a fax machine. Or a printer)--and something that won't cost us an arm, leg, and a kidney either. Any suggestions?

How about the spotlight credenza from Crate and Barrel that was featured on AT awhile ago? It looks like a nice buffet but really has two filing drawers and should be able to hold both the printer and fax machine. Here is the link:
We're considering using these in our IKEA Expedit shelves:
Using hanging files in the right color could (we're hoping) look pretty good against the black X. They're not secure or anything, but at $10 a pop, almost unbeatable in price.
There's quite a few different styles if you look on Amazon, that don't look like the generic filing cabinets. Here's one I found for a decent price:
The Ikea Erik is gorgeous in white and red.
ive always managed to find rad vintage file cabinets at St Vincents and on craigslist...they're super heavy, but sometimes worth it if they're good lookin' and free!
I used to have a large lateral file that I purchased at Blueprint. When I outgrew it, I decided to go paperless to add more space to my room rather than lose more space to another file cabinet. I hand scanned everything on a cheap Canon flatbed scanner and it took forever. I don't recommend that but I would suggest getting a sheetfed scanner instead of filedrawers and digitizing all but the most important papers. While a sheetfed scanner will set you back a few hundred dollars up front, it makes quick work of the scanning. The benefits are pretty great: you end up with extra space in your office, radically reduced clutter, infinite storage space that takes up little or no room, plus digitizing makes finding files is as quick as typing a keyword in your computers search. If you need a hardcopy, you simply print one up on your printer. I highly recommend it.
Is the Ikea Erik sturdy (i.e. good Ikea or cheap Ikea)?
This one in chrome.
How about painting a metal file cabinet a vibrant color to give it some pop? I just bought a couple of small vintage metal filing cabinets, one off Ebay and another from Craigslist, that I'm planning to spray paint hot pink with Rustoleum's Painter's Touch. It will match my brown/pink home office and I'm hoping will look stylish for a fraction of the cost of any filing cabinet I could get out there, even Ikea. Anyone out there have experience with this type of painting project? If so, I welcome any tips!
homedecorators.com has a ton of cheap options, and different styles.
CB2 has a really cute one available in silver or orange

Hey Toy, have you played other healing classes, such as a priest or a resto druid?
The heal relatively is on par with Circle of Healing and Wild Growth. The only differences is that Light of Dawn doesn't have a cap, and the other two spells are smart heals.
As for proper positioning, Blizzard is making it somewhat mandatory for all healers, due to the new GAoE (Ground) heals like Power Word: Barrier and Healing Rain. Much like we have to relearn how to use multiple spells again and triage; we will have to learn the proper positioning for our spells and use them accordingly with our group.
As for five mans, I've been watching the heroic versions of the new instances, and I have to say that ignoring an instant cast AoE heal in favor of procs may not be the best option. Especially now that it's not dependent on Holy Power anymore.

An art history blog post from Famous Paintings Reviewed.
Swiss-born Angelica Kauffmann (1741-1807) was known as a child prodigy who, before the age of 15, was assisting her father with church murals and accepting commissions in portraiture. In addition to speaking four foreign languages fluently, Angelica Kauffmann was renowned as a singer and wrestled to choose between music and art, as memorialized in one of her most famous paintings, Self-Portrait Torn Between Music and Painting. This Kauffmann painting
Angelica Kauffmann. Self-Portrait Torn Between Music and Painting, 1792. Oil on canvas, approx. 60" by 83". Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow.
recalls the popular 17th century theme in which Hercules, at the Crossroads, must choose between Luxury and Fame.
She audaciously rejected working in genres deemed acceptable to female artists, such as still life, to pursue history painting, the field that was the most lucrative, prestigious, and male-dominated in the 18th century. In 1758, Kauffmann and her father toured Italy to study famous paintings and works of old masters; four years later, she settled in Rome and catered to travelers, many of whom were Englishmen on the Grand Tour. It was there Angelica Kauffmann was exposed to artists like Benjamin West (1738-1820) who were exploring the emerging style of Neoclassicism.
Her reputation in England was bolstered by her portrait of the English actor David Garrick (Does George Costanza of Seinfield look like him, or what?!), possibly the most frequently painted Englishman in the 18th century. Among the famous painters who did portraits of Garrick were:
David Garrick was even painted more often than the king, George III (1).
Angelica Kauffmann, David Garrick. Oil on canvas, 1764.
With the encouragement of Sir Joshua Reynolds, Angelica Kauffmann relocated to London which, like Rome, was a center of Neoclassicism. Kauffmann was dedicated to popularizing history paintings in Great Britain; there were no other female artists then working in such grand scale. She opted for heroines drawn from classical history like Penelope, the wife of Odyssey who remained faithful during his 20 year absence; and Lucretia, another paragon of female virtue who committed suicide after being raped.
Socially adept, admired for her diligence, and recognized for her paintings done for interiors designed by the leading architect, Robert Adam, Angelica Kauffmann was one of the 36 founding members of the Royal Academy of Arts in 1768. Much ballyhoo was made of the fact that Kauffmann and another Swiss painter, Mary Moser, were founders...
Johann Zoffany. The Academicians of the Royal Academy, 1772.
yet the history of painting reveals how flimsy this honor actually was:
1. JSTOR. David Garrick and English Painting. Lance Bertelsen
Note on spelling: Although Angelica Kauffmann signed her paintings as "Kauffman", the leading biographies of her spell it "Kauffmann", as noted in Women Artists 1550-1950 by Ann Sutherland Harris and Linda Nochlin.

Posted 19 Oct 2012i guess i should start with a question...
since im brand new to coding, what language would i benefit the most from learning? my goals are gaming oriented.
i have heard that c++ is easy to start but i also hear that Java is best to start with because of its diversity..

That would make sense.
I agree 100%. This is ridiculous!! All those emails there for the taking!!
I have submitted a Report requesting it is removed - but I aint holding my breath.
Someone is going to have to enlighten me as to what the big problem is. Most of the email address have been on this thread for up to 10 years! Easily time for a bot to pick them up.
So, someone has your email address? ...you get spammed..big deal.
My email has been on the web for 10-12 years now, doesn't seem to be a problem.
What am I missing?
Surely if you want to put your email up here its up to you... you know the score.
Oh by the way my bank account number is....610987556 sort code 17-80-95
I'm sure someone said they would like to deposit a large cash sum prize at some point after I send them £10k to verify the account
Quote: What am I missing?
It's got nothing to do with spam as far as I am concerned. You have a thread, all be it old, asking people to put up email addresses. Its called penpals - which could be seen as a term that attracts younger members. It's a classic grooming tactic. Ask for a penpal, get the email and move the conversation off the main public area of the site. The last person to post and email was a few days ago and was 15. Ok you have removed the email now but with a notification set the people on the thread would have been told of a new posting before you removed it.
It up to you.
Quote: Its called penpals - which could be seen as a term that attracts younger members.
Do kids today still do pen pals ? Seems a bit old-hat to me.
Quote: Do kids today still do pen pals ?
No I doubt they do in the same format - facebook, tumblr etc is the modern way. This thread began in 2001 when there would certainly have still been letters written and emails sent. It gets picked up in searches. I guess we should lock it down as it is a vintage thread. Just highlights how our attitudes have changes over the years regards to email etc. No one battered an eyelid in those early days.

OWINGS MILLS — Patrica Breslin Modell, the wife of former Ravens owner Art Modell, passed away on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. at the age of 80.
She spent 22 years as an actress, starring in the People's Choice series and was cast in 400 movies and television shows. One of her most famous roles was depicting the character Meg Baldwin in the show General Hospital. She was also a regular on Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Perry Mason and Maverick.
There was once a time when Modell appeared on more shows than any woman in U.S. television history. She was eventually surpassed by actress Lucille Ball, one of Modell's best friends.
She married Art Modell, who owned the Cleveland Browns at the time, in 1969. They moved to the Baltimore area when Modell moved the original Browns to become the Ravens.
After the Ravens defeated the Jets two Sundays ago, coach John Harbaugh gave a game ball to Mrs. Modell, saying, "We love you, Pat." She had been hospitalized for around five months.
She is survived by her husband Art, sons John and David, and six grandchildren.

Why are we publicizing these... people? I'm fine with people trying new stuff in game but it's their reputation as complete jerks that makes me wish we'd not promote them.
I'm sure I"ll get harshed for saying that but I really, REALLY hate jerks.
That being said, there is nothing inherently jerky about this video so - good on 'em. :)
Hollow Leviathan said...
I want to agree with you, but they used the music Hell March 2 on one of their videos.
I can't go against that.
I think the big reason Goon Squad gets positive publicity like this is that most of their most famous actions are purely for fun and don't effect the game much. Getting a world first Tirion kill through inconsistencies in game mechanics is a lot better than getting a world first 25 man Lich King kill by using inconsistencies in game mechanics.
They get publicity because they're creative and funny. If all were right in the world, the people who would fade into obscurity would be the ones who get seriously bent out of shape about a guild killing a pretend internet elf in a video game. A bit of dismissive levity never hurt anyone.
I hate jerks, but I absolutely love goon squad.
As far as I have seen they don't do anything that breaks the game.
Things like stealing flight masters and making opposite factions play time a living hell is to me, the best for of PvP imaginable. Much better than standing in line to steal the enemies flag or fight over being the ones to scoop horse dung from the stables.
I wouldn't join their guild, but I would salute them in Dalaran.
Yes well, I love funny but I don't find it funny when people are blatantly cruel to other people. Face it, the people on the other end of the internet are PEOPLE. ;)
There is pvp reality then there is guild-sanctioned ass-hat-ery (and yes, that's a technical term). ;-p
Again, I'm not saying anything specific about this video it's pretty funny.

When I first started playing world of warcraft back in 2006 I was on Mal'Ganis as alliance. It was pretty bad. Horde on that realm outnumbered us 3 to 1 and consistently I would be ganked, the mailbox would be covered in Goon Squad alts, the flight master in Ironforge would be dead, etcetera. But the fact is, even though I was one of the people who they (and guilds like them) were being "cruel" to I really didn't mind. It gave me something to do for an hour, and took my mind off the monotony of leveling. It was funny. I realize where you are coming from, and its great you are sticking up for these people (I realm transferred during BC) but its really not that bad. People need to relax about WoW, it's not like your character is going to lose all his stuff and you have to start from square one. He will still be there when you log back on.

Streb leads Pebble Beach Invitational
Robert Streb shot a 3-under 69 in rainy conditions Saturday at Del Monte to take a one-stroke lead over Billy Horschel after the third round in the Pebble Beach Invitational. Streb, 25, had a 10-under 206 total. He won the Web.com Tour's Mylan Classic in September and finished seventh on the tour's money list to earn a PGA Tour card. Horschel had a 68, also at Del Monte...
Camilo Villegas shares early lead at Disney
Camilo Villegas stopped getting angry and decided to start having more fun. He can only hope the change has come soon enough for him to keep his card. Villegas ran off three straight birdies late in his round on the Palm Course at Disney for a 7-under 65 to share the early lead Thursday with Tommy Gainey in the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic. It's the final...
Pressure is on at year's final event
The final PGA Tour event of the year is a lot like the final stage of Q-school, one last chance for so many players to earn their full cards for next year.

Gainey gains fame beyond the gloves
Not only does Tommy Gainey make fellow country golfer Boo Weekley look like a city slicker, he is perhaps the most compelling rags-to-riches story on the PGA Tour since Lee Trevino. Merry Mex had his Dr Pepper bottle. Gainey has his two gloves. Each has laughed all the way to Wells Fargo, to keep the golfy theme going. Now that he has climbed from rural humble beginnings to the...

Things I liked:BANGERS! Heavy duty MAGNUM BANGERS
Things I would have changed:nothing
What others should know:They are heavy they do not seem to tumble even thru my high velocity Gamo silent crap. Long range vermin death.
Things I liked:So far everything, These pellets hit with authority,,, Shot from my daisy 880, they can open dime width holes , tearing out flaps on the exit. And shot from my bengimen Trail np xl 1500, they're delivering amazing power. I usually prefer a pointed pellet but these have won me over to the rounded tip. Ive shot through 5 bean cans in a row with them in the first test,, And the size and weight doesnt seem to be effecting accuracy at much at all, as it seems to do with Rabbit Magnums etc. Rabbit magnums are good pellets but its like chucking a rock, when you shoot them, tumbling , no problem with the New Boys though.
Things I would have changed:Really have nothing to complain about , havent experienced irregularity in shape or difficulty in insertion.
What others should know:For a 177 caliber round Newboys are potent pellets in the right guns , they're weight does effect range quickly on pumpers but compensations can be made,,, in magnum variety air rifles both break barrel and pcp, id assume you have a winner in these.
Things I liked:Nice looking pellet....Pyramyd Air was great service
Things I would have changed:Wouldn't buy 3 boxes.... other than that Im not sure... they didn't fly straight...but looked like good design
What others should know:I shot a few at 15 yds thru my RWS Diana model 34 topped with a Beeman 3X9 by 32 and they were low which is adjustable. But after the few shots I continued and all of a sudden they were shooting 4" to the right and spread 6" vertically not walking up or down but just anywhere. Between those shots I threw out my trusted 7.4 pellets and they were dead on every time? Upon closer examination.... it appeared the 15.8 grn pellets were punching the paper side ways (oblonged holes)... if some one sends me $5.00 I'll ship these to them...

Coke vs Pepsi Challenge! Who wants to try?
I just finished reading a book called "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell. In it he discusses the Pepsi Challenge and the flawed sampling methods which led to Coke re-formulating their product. We all know how that ended up so I'll skip to the chase:
Can you tell the difference between Pepsi cola and Coca-cola?*
Apparently during sensory analysis tests, tasters use a Degree of Difference scale with 1 being indiscernible and 14 being extremely different. Salt & Vinegar chips from Wise vs Lays have a degree of difference of 8. Coke and Pepsi have a DoD of 4.
And supposedly, most of us can't tell the difference!
Triangle Test: Given three samples which contain two identical and one different, identify which one is different (while controlling everything but type of cola, of course).
Anyone want to give it a shot and bravely share their results? I don't have any assistants to help right now but hope to do it soon. The author reports that among his friends, most were not able to do it and felt duped or tricked. The probability of being correct by guessing is p = 1/3 so you have to do significantly better. Professional tasters get it right 100% of the time.
What other different but similar items would you be willing to put to the Triangle Test?!
*NOTE: Yes, I know there's already a thread titled "Distinguishing Coke and Pepsi" or something like that. But it's from 2002 and there's already been some comments made in 2011 about bringing it back up. Coke/Pepsi and their formula has been in the news recently and I just finished this book so I thought this might be interesting to some of us. I never heard of this type of test so I wanted to share and to see if anyone has done it or is willing to do it. Plus, to get ideas from other fun palate-challenging tests. So please don't yell at me :-)
re: seamunky
It has been 30 years since I last consumed a soft drink. That said, I do remember recognizing a distinct difference between the two back when. I am ALMOST tempted to buy some of each as a tastebud test - you make it sound interesting!
Personally I think both are vile. I don't drink much soda except for Dr. Browns Cel-Ray and artisanal root beers, birch beers, and sarsparilla a few times a year. That said, I find it is very easy to distinguish between the various colas. I guess it all depends upon how finely you have tuned your palate. The average person doesn't really focus on their food as much as someone who places importance on flavors and perceptions of flavors.
I drink very little of either so I'm not really interested in actually testing myself, but after a lifetime of experience of them, I can't imagine I could not tell the difference. It's pretty simple: apart from it being excruciatingly sweet, I like the basic flavor of Pepsi and I dislike Coke. Dislike it enough to avoid it. Granting that they're both "cola beverages", I think they taste very different and in general I definitely don't have a palate worth bragging about.
PS: This depends to some degree on just how cold they are, but then, if you make anything cold enough, you basically just won't taste it at all...
I recall back when I was a kid and the Pepsi Challenge was rolled out nationwide. At more than one location - and usually not at grocery stores - A table would be set up where you could try the two in a blind tasting. I could always pick out the Coke, the Pepsi was sweeter to my taste and I did not care for it.
These days I drink very little soda unless it is mixed with something more palatable, like rum. It would be interesting to do some blind tastings to see if my preferred brand holds up against a cheaper or more expensive brand, but I am afraid I will just end up with multiple bottles of all sorts of booze, half of which are going to waste, as I can't think of much else on which I could run an A/B test.
I grew up down south where Coke was king. I can clearly taste the difference. Pepsi tastes much sweeter to me. On the other hand, Coke has this almost cinnamon flavour. Stopped drinking the full sugar version years ago. When I had soda, I would get diet Coke. But that was rarely. Once Coke Zero came out, I was taken by how much it tasted like the original Coke. Almost enough to make me want to have one regularly.
I've switched to diet coke a few years ago. Yes, I can tell the difference between diet coke and diet pepsi.
I can tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi, and Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi, and Coke Zero and Coke. I can also tell the difference between Skippy and Jiff, Cains versus Hellmans and Chivas versus Dewars. I'm not a professional taster, but there was a lot of brand loyalty in my home when I was growing up (always Coke products, always Hellmans if it wasn't homemade, always Jif, always Colgate toothpaste, yadda yadda yadda). Maybe that has something to do with it. Or maybe I'm just weird.
Meathead easily identified Coke, Pepsi, and RC Cola, thoroughly confounding Archie. :)

Out of Whack.
When we're on the run from God, when we're out of His will, not only will there be consequences, but our thinking and actions get out of whack. A look at Jonah on the boat in the storm provides evidence of this. The storm is raging. The other men on the ship are afraid and scrambling to keep the boat afloat and themselves alive. So what is Jonah doing—sleeping! Considering the circumstances, kind of crazy, don't you think?
So what does this passage reveal about the importance of staying in tune, and on track, with God? Tami

Gideon, sneaking around like a fox in the latest page of Fox & Willow!
FYI, Allison will be at New York Comic Con this weekend, so if you have burning questions about Fox & Willow (Eg. Is Gideon really drawn with Little Gideon intact under the dialogue balloon in Page 16? She might just actually show you if she has the incriminating evidence in her iPad), then catch her after her panel or during her book signing to get your answers :D If you have any thoughts, opinions, or comments about the comic, we'd love to hear them as well :) Also, she's got comic swags to give out, only at the Con!

Joining a fandom is so hard…I mean tears, tears, tears.
Sometimes it's just so hard to accept that some old friends will never come back. There's a girl…I met her 10 months ago…She meant very much to me. We used to be friends…And now…We're like strangers. And the hardest part….I have to see her every day with her new friends.
I think I'm not the only one with problems like that.
But life's like a movie and you're playing your part until the end.
There's another little story.
The girl's name is Lara and I know her since 5th grade. We never really had much contact until 2013 began. She left our school at the beginning of the new school year (November 2012), but we had contact via WhatsApp. One day we got in a big argument and our contact got cancelled.
—- January 2013 —-
She made the first step. We chatted and we figured some things out. Then we became friends. (We weren't that close.)
A few months later we were very very close. I can tell her all my secrets (She can keep them!). We don't see us that much, but when we're together we have a good time.
And I think this is a real friendship.
Best friends don't see each other 24/7.
My mum once said: 'When you see each other every day then the friendship will broke faster than usual.'
But I'm afraid of the day our friendship ends.
That was my first post.
Hey people :)
I think I'm gonna post some stuff about my life? I don't know

While I have not had a problem with winterizing using this method I did have an online discussions with some other sailors about checking to make sure that the after winterizing that the antifreeze was not diluted to the point of being ineffective at the temperatures in my location. Not a bad idea I thought. Some use chemically treated slips of paper that change color to match the level of protection the antifreeze solution is providing. Others use the floating ball gauges and others use an optical hand refractometer.
So I began researching the testing methods. The antifreeze test strips were reasonably cheap around ten bucks for 50 strips. But, then I read they were only reliable for about two years. This might make sense for a boatyard that winterizes a lot of boats but, not for me. They could also give erroneous readings if contaminated. The next device was the floating ball antifreeze testers. Reasonable in price perhaps only ballpark in accuracy.
The third option was the hand refractometer. The most accurate in my opinion but, also the most expensive. In my initial research I saw prices of $120 to $220. Way to expensive to make sense for my wallet.
But, found other antifreeze refractometers for around fifty bucks. Now that's more like it. Even better it has scales for propylene glycol, ethylene glycol and one for checking the charge on flooded lead acid batteries. That's a win, win, win situation in my book so I bought it.
The above photo shows the unit I bought. It comes with two eyedroppers. The one shown here has the blue tape around it to remind me that I only use it to sample distilled water. The little black cap covers the alignment screw should one need to realign the gauge. It also includes the screwdriver in the case. The photo below shows the plastic cover in the open position.
To use this device you open the cover and put a a drop or two of the solution you are testing onto the blueish glass and close the plastic cover to spread the solution onto the glass. You then hold the refractometer up to a lighted area and take a reading by looking into the eyepiece. Here is what you see when you look into the refractometer with no liquid on the glass.
You have a completely blue field. You can see the three different scales for the propylene glycol antifreeze, battery fluid and ethylene glycol antifreeze. When you open the unit up and drop a few drops of distilled water onto the reading glass this is similar to what you will see when you do a reading:
Notice how it is clear at around 32 degrees F scale. This is how you check the alignment of the device. Note: The photo shows a slightly lower freezing point which may be due to some slight contamination from an earlier test. Cleaning the glass or adjust the alignment screw would correct his offset. But you get the idea. Next the cover was opened the glass cleaned and dried and a drop or two of propylene glycol antifreeze taken from BIANKA's winterized water system was analyzed as shown below:
This shows a freezing point of about 15 degrees Fahrenheit on the propelyne gycol scale. Only 3 degrees "warmer" than the pure antifreeze used to winterize the system. The bursting point for pvc piping according to the manufacturer of the antifreeze should be about - 7 degrees Fahrenheit. Which is "comfortably" below the normal lowest winter temperatures in my area. As they say your mileage may vary or location temperatures may be different. But, using a refractometer to test the antifreeze used to winterize the on board water system will give you peace of mind as you wait for spring to return. Just remember:

Not so fast Pablo! I find having a small digital camera on board to be very useful. Not only for the usual personal photos, blogging or capturing those strange moments on the water that some will never believe without some kind of proof. But, I also found a camera useful for repairs and maintenance which I'll get into on a future post. While these new digital cameras are great pieces of technology they can also fail. Since I just recently found my Canon Powershot camera (after much searching) on board where it was hiding from me. I thought I would post about two of the repairs I have made to the said camera which others my find helpful in case the camera goes on the fritz somewhere in your journeys.
One day during the conversion to electric power. I was squeezing through one of the cockpit hatches and heard something crack. The SD600 that I had in my shirt pocket now had a cracked LCD screen and was useless. Not wanting to just throw it away I did a search on the Internet and found a site that explains how to replace the LCD screen on the SD600 and other Canon cameras. Of course you could also send it back to Canon and they will fix it for $. But, if you are handy, careful and have a set of small precision screwdrivers you can replace it yourself for about 40 bucks. You can see the steps with excellent photos by clicking here. NOTE: That there are two types of screens available make sure which one you have before ordering the part from Canon. It is explained on the site how to identify which screen your camera has. The second problem I had was:
A few month's after replacing the screen I dropped the camera rather hard. All of a sudden it would no longer turn on. I thought that's it. I was trying to decide whether to send it back to Canon for repair ($100) or get a new camera. In the end I bought another camera. But, in my spare time I decided to take another look and see if I could not fix the turn on problem. I did. The problem was on the inside of the Memory Card Slot/Battery Cover.
There is a little plastic protrusion that contacts a tiny little switch that tells the circuitry in the camera that the battery door is closed.
Apparently part of the plastic tip broke off and so it was not contacting the switch and letting the camera turn on.
All of these parts are delicate. So how do I fix this? I needed some thing to put a little pressure on the switch but, not too much or I would end up breaking the switch too. I found just what I needed by using a medium sized rubber band. I cut a small piece of the rubber band and laid it across the switch. When I closed the battery door the camera came to life. The rubber band allows the remaining tip on the battery door to provide enough pressure to close the switch.
I hope the above information helps when you have a digital camera failure if not remember this:
"There will be times when you will be in the field without a camera. And, you will see the most glorious sunset or the most beautiful scene that you have ever witnessed. Don't be bitter because you can't record it. Sit down, drink it in, and enjoy it for what it is!" ~DeGriff
Friday, November 20, 2009
Most of the photos on this blog were taken with a Canon SD600 digital camera. I've had it for several years. I usually carry it around in a shirt pocket where ever I go. You never know when it will come in handy. A few weeks ago I lost it. I went to look for it at home and could not find it. Then I remembered I had changed into my boat work clothes and thought I must have left it in the shirt pocket on board. When I got back on board I searched all around but, could not find it. I kept searching several times I looked on board and around the house. Could not find it anywhere. It's not that the camera was so expensive. Indeed newer digital cameras have new more advanced features and more mega pixels. It was that I had a lot of photos on the memory card that I wanted to use here in blog posts. Well, today when I went back on board to start winterizing the water system I finally found it. But, not before looking all over the boat once again. It was actually in a location I had looked at several times but, because it's silver case blended in with the heavy duty crimper it was lying under I never noticed it. It is amazing how something can get lost so easily within the limited confines of a boat. Now that it is found I can once again start posting about some of the projects and repairs that I have been doing on BIANKA.

Cold and deep too!
that remind me what love for the water is really all about. Anyone who can go for a swim in Gloucester Harbor in the middle of November is a force to be reckoned with and an inspiration to me to maybe keep swimming off of BIANKA a little later next year.

The big small world of Reid Stowe and BIANKA
I've been checking into his website/blog 1000 DAYS AT SEA every couple of weeks. I and many others have been vicariously taking the journey with him through his blog. He is part sailor, part artist and very spiritual as he single hands the 70-foot and 60-ton gaff-rigged schooner ANNE around the ocean. Now that the sailing season is over for me I wish I could be out there with him as he alternates between his art and boat chores. Lately, it seems his computer is acting up and may fail at some point depriving the rest of the world of his colorful, descriptive posts. He is certainly in tune with his environment and the ocean he sails. But, personally I have concerns that he might never be able to set foot on land again after making this journey. But, reading his posts and the things he has seen and experienced I'm sure that would be fine with Stowe but, I and others would sure miss not being able to have a little chat with him should we be anchored or docked nearby the Anne someday.

Willie Bobo was the stage name of William Correa (February 28, 1934 – September 15, 1983),[1] an American jazz percussionist.
William Correa grew up in Spanish Harlem, New York City. He made his name in Latin Jazz, specifically Afro-Cuban jazz, in the 1960s and '70s, with the timbales becoming his favoured instrument. He met Mongo Santamaría shortly after his arrival in New York and studied with him while acting as his translator, and later at the age of 19 joined Tito Puente for four years.
The nickname Bobo is said to have been bestowed by the jazz pianist Mary Lou Williams in the early 1950s.[1]
His first major exposure was when he joined George Shearing's band on the album The Shearing Spell. After leaving Shearing, Cal Tjader asked Bobo and Santamaria to become part of the Cal Tjader Modern Mambo Quintet, who released several albums as the mambo craze reached fever pitch in the late '50s. Reuniting with his mentor Santamaria in 1960, the pair released the album Sabroso! for the Fantasy label. Bobo later formed his own group, releasing Do That Thing/Guajira with Tico and Bobo's Beat and Let's Go Bobo for Roulette, without achieving huge penetration.[1]
After the runaway success of Tjader's Soul Sauce, in which he was heavily involved, Bobo formed a new band with the backing of Verve Records, releasing Spanish Grease, of which the title track is probably his most well known tune. Highly successful at this attempt, Bobo released a further seven albums with Verve.[1]
In the early 1970s, he moved out to Los Angeles. He again met up with his long-time friend Richard Sanchez Sr. and his son Richard Jr. and began recording in the studio. Bobo then worked as a session musician for Carlos Santana among others, as well as being a regular in the band for Bill Cosby's variety show Cos.

Nikita Romanovich (Russian: Никита Романович) (died 23 April 1586), also known as Nikita Romanovich Zakharyin-Yuriev, was a Muscovite Boyar in 1563 whose grandson Mikhail Feodorovich founded the Romanov dynasty of Russian tsars.
He was a son of the Boyar Roman Yurievich Zakharyin-Koshkin, Okolnichi, who died on 16 February 1543, who gave his name to the Romanov dynasty of Russian monarchs, and wife Uliana Ivanovna, who died in 1579, and the brother-in-law of Ivan IV of Russia, who had married his sister Anastasia Romanovna. His great-grandfather was Zakhary Ivanovich Koshkin.
Nikita Romanovich is first recorded in 1547, when, on account of the tsar's wedding with Anastasia Zakharyina, he was promoted to spalnik and stolnik. He participated as a rynda (bodyguard) of the tsar in the unlucky campaigns against the Khanate of Kazan in 1547 and 1548. Later, he was the assistant to the Princes Vasily Serebryany and Andrey Nogtev-Suzdalsky with the rank of okolnichy in the Livonian campaign of 1559.
He was granted a boyar dignity in 1562. Four years later, following the death of his brother Daniil Romanovich, he became the governor of Tver. He commanded detachments of the Muscovite army during the winter campaign of 1572 in Novgorod and against Sweden. He also took part in the Livonian campaigns of 1573 and 1577.
On his deathbed Ivan the Terrible left his two sons, Fyodor and Dmitry, to the care of trusted associates. Until the illness incapacitated him in late 1584, Nikita Romanovich led the regency, as the only uncle of the young tsar. He died on 23 April 1586 and was buried in the Novospassky Monastery.
