All in storage boxes. Heck, everything is in storage boxes!
I've decided I'm mailing them to the North Pole
When I finally do get everything set up in the hobby room (it's all in boxes right now), I plan on displaying all of my misfits, just like everything else. But that's because my display will be one of every figure released, in chronological order, so if I wound up leaving out all of the figures that've been updated at some point, I'd have a buttload of holes in the overall Hasbro collection.

So I'm with the girls this week, Talking about girl stuff, taking silly pictures and taking a ride down to the local Coffee Shop for some more girl time. When Megan spots this dude sitting alone behind us. She quickly caught his attentions and asked him why he was alone. Then the girls jumped in and asked him if he had a place to crash and chill. He gave us an address to his crib and told us to meet him there. Before we rode out we went to the liqueur store and found a really tall looking basket ball type dude and we quickly scooped him up. Took the girls back to the crib and guess what we found out... these girls are fucking hot a...

Looking back from these high digit birthday numbers, I marvel at some of the things I have done to make a buck or a gain. I believe that the account of activities that follows are all legal—well, except one, which will be used as an object lesson that crime doesn't and shouldn't pay.
While still a young lad in Beaumont, I learned of a business that today we would call a recycling center would pay good money for yesterday's newspapers, so with my trusty Western Flyer I patrolled the neighborhood soliciting back issues of the Beaumont Enterprise and Journal—or whatever newspaper that household accumulated. Of course, my parents spent about as much on gasoline, as I earned, hauling me and my pounds of printed pulp to the center, and gasoline was only about 20 cents per gallon then.
When strenuous physical work became too much for him during my father's long declining illness, he peddled pecans, live chickens, and produce retail from a rented storefront in downtown Beaumont, and wholesale to neighborhood grocery stores. Once he paid me $20 to get in the truck and catch chickens a grocer had bought—probably for a no more than $5. $20 was the price of the bicycle I coveted.
In those days, soft drink bottles could be returned to all places that sold them when full of their particular beverage and the returnee could claim a two-cent deposit on each, no questions asked about who the original purchaser might be. Big spenders often did not bother with this process, instead choosing to leave the litter of their consumption in vacant lots and other public places. When I focused on this potential bonanza, no abandoned bottle escaped my greedy fingers. Usually I would wait until I had accumulated a case of empties to claim my 48-cent reward—then spend it on more colas and candies.
While serving as editor of my high school newspaper, The Buffalo, published twice monthly, I asked the manager of the Jefferson Theatre for advanced information about films booked to screen there so I could write reviews about them while they were showing. I swear I didn't know he was going to also give me passes to view those very films.
Now, to show that crime doesn't pay. Once, I wrote a term paper for [name deleted to protect me], for $20. A guilty conscience, plus cold feet, talked me into returning the money then praying that the teacher would not identify the similarity of writing style and the one word—parliament –that I misspelled consistently throughout both papers.
God is good. My penance is that I ALWAYs give cheaters in my class a second chance. After all, I've used up a few of them myself.

Thunder Seven Review:
This was it. This was the album that started it all for me. When I hear the songs they take me back to some good times. Too bad I missed the concert in Guelph that year and I regret it all the time. As I type this I am listening to "Time Goes By." How fitting. I have my fingers crossed that a reunion tour is a possibility.

Cotillion is set in 1816 and takes place largely in London. However, the action begins at Arnside, an estate to which all the young, unmarried male relations of a crotchety (but wealthy) old man have been summoned. The man is Matthew Penicuik, and he wishes to provide his great-nephews with the opportunity to offer for his ward Kitty Charing's hand in marriage, and thereby inherit his entire fortune. Miss Charing herself is not particularly fond of this plan, although she has been in love with one of the intended targets, Jack Westruther, since she was young. Fortunately or unfortunately, Jack does not appear to make an offer, and Kitty concocts a scheme to become "engaged" to his cousin, Freddy Standen, in order to get to London and secure Jack's attention.
Freddy, whose judgment "in all matters of Fashion, was extremely nice" and who has an excellent grasp on proper behavior among the ton, is also acknowledged by himself and his family members to be a bit slow on the uptake when it comes to practical matters. His genial good nature leads him to acquiesce to Kitty's spur-of-the moment plan, although the idea of ultimately breaking their engagement goes strongly against his sense of propriety. Kitty feels guilty about the deception, then awed as she is brought into the Standen family fold and introduced to the wonders and pitfalls of glamorous society. Kitty's impulsive, friendly behavior gets her involved in several situations that she and Freddy work together to resolve as a pair of rather unlikely cupids, even as she begins to realize that Jack may not be the man she thought she loved. Cotillion is a seamlessly woven and gently humorous novel that is sure to appeal to any Regency fan.
Grade: A
Although the false engagement plot is very well-worn at this point, it was refreshing to have both a hero and heroine neither laboring under the harsh yoke of secrets from the past nor outcast from society in any way by their poor behavior. Definitely no rake in need of reformation, Freddy is a very engaging hero, and it is refreshing to have the main male character be a dandy with no hidden reserves of physical strength or intelligence. Rather, he is kind and tolerant, muddling through when other people's scrapes are thrust in his lap. There are a few issues I could take with the book--Kitty's month in London seems to stretch forever and the resolution of her relationship with Freddy happens quite suddenly--but nothing that dissuaded me from finding the book completely charming.
The author of more than fifty books, including detective novels, Heyer's masterful grasp of setting and the rhythm of language shines most brilliantly in her Regencies. The wry, understated humor in Cotillion had my lips twitching on any number of occasions:
The Chevalier's fingers, writhing amongst his glossy brown locks, were fast ruining what had been an admirable example of the Brutus, made fashionable by Mr Brummell. Freddy watched this with pained disapproval. It did not seem to him to serve any useful purpose; it was, in fact, a work of quite wanton destruction.For a book that was published more than fifty years ago, Cotillion holds up incredibly well, and feels much more authentic and well-formed than most of what's published today in the same genre. If anyone reading this loves Regency romances and hasn't read something by Heyer, I would be truly sorry to hear it.
ETA: While she was dying, my mother embarked on a project to re-read (or read for the first time) all the Heyers she could get her hands on, which meant that I spent a lot of time getting books from several Salt Lake City libraries and creating a master list so we could track what she had read.

The New Show About Massholes? We Predicted It.
A follow-up to Jersey Shore is in the works called Wicked Summer.
In January, Jessica Grose suggested that MTV follow its hit reality show Jersey Shore with a program about a new subculture: the Red Sox-loving, brawling New Englanders known as Massholes. It looks like the company that cast Jersey Shore was inspired by her article, as a casting call went online today for "the hottest girls and proudly buff guys from Massa-freakin-chusettes who believe in God, Family, The Red Sox and partying" to participate in a reality show tentatively called Wicked Summer. Grose's article isreprinted below.
The final episode of the reality show Jersey Shore, which followed eight self-proclaimed young "Guidos" for a summer, airs tonight. The show has been a massive success, scoring record-breaking ratings for MTV and generating a frenzied stream of tweets, blog posts, and YouTube videos. Surely MTV will want to repeat the cultural phenomenon, and yet the particular magic of the Jersey Shore is impossible to recreate. MTV cannot bring this cast back for a second season; they've already been spoiled by their fame. Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is doing the weather for a local New York TV station in between appearances at bars with names like Tequila Ranch. She will never again do another back handspring at the club out of natural exuberance—she will be doing it because she knows the viewing audience wants her to. And if the network attempts to bring another group of Guidos to a seedy house in Seaside, N.J., they will surely be sad imitations of the originals. The Situation is sui generis.
MTV needs a new tribe to study. Lucky for them, there's a group of feisty young people just a few hundred miles north on the Atlantic coast. They're called Massholes. Though there is some disagreement about what, exactly, constitutes a Masshole, there are several characteristics present in all definitions. A Masshole is a resident of Massachusetts—though sometimes Rhode Island, New Hampshire, or Maine—who possesses a nearly carnal love for the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins; operates motor vehicles in an aggressive fashion; drinks Sam Adams; and overuses the word wicked.
Massholes can be found summering in many sandy New England locales, including Revere Beach (outside Boston), Narragansett Beach (in Rhode Island), and Weirs Beach (on New Hampshire's Lake Winnipesaukee). But for our purposes, the proposed series will be based in West Dennis, Mass., an old Masshole stomping ground on Cape Cod. (On the B.S. Report podcast last month, ESPN's Bill Simmons suggested a Jersey Shore spin-off set on the North Shore of Boston. But why set the show on the Commonwealth's second most famous cape?)
An undying love for Jonathan Papelbon and a knack for navigating rotaries may not seem like enough to unite a group of people, but it's important to remember that the concept of "Guido," as put forth by Jersey Shore, is not much more elaborate. Though it originated as a derogatory term for Italians, Guido, as defined by the show, is not just about ethnic identity—Jenny "Jwoww" Farley appears to be part Irish. It's more about a particular lifestyle that involves a lot of tanning, clubbing, and hair product. As Snooki explained to talk show hostess Wendi Williams, "Guidos and Guidettes are good-looking people that like to make a scene, like to be center of attention, and like to take care of themselves. … It's kind of a compliment."
Like Guidos, Massholes have reclaimed a term that was coined as a derisive epithet. And like Guidos, they're already a beloved pop-cultural punching bag—think "Mad Men with Massholes" and the recurring SNL "Boston Teens" sketch. The term is deeply entrenched in the lexicon. Angry Democrats have blamed the election of Scott Brown on Massholes who only voted for him because he was supported by Red Sox hero Curt Schilling.
It's true that Massholes are a more diverse subculture than Guidos, but that would only make a series about them more compelling. There are two main Masshole strands: Kennedy-lite types, often from the North Shore or Boston's wealthy Metro West area, who go to small New England liberal arts colleges (Bowdoin, Colby, Dartmouth) and wear lots of khaki; and more blue-collar types, often from South Boston or one of the commonwealth's harder-knock-cities (Everett, New Bedford), who share a hairdo: a weathered Sox cap in the warmer months, a fleece-lined Pats hat in the winter. These two sorts of Massholes will probably not get along particularly well. The latter will find the former condescending, just like in that scene in Good Will Hunting in which Matt Damon's character gets in a fight with that snotty dude at the Harvard bar. Except in Massholes, the warring factions will mend their ways by the end of the each episode, hard feelings salved by a quick trip to the nearest beach bar, where they will find common cause, chanting "Yankees suck" as they watch the latest from the Fens on NESN.
And what will the individual castmates look like? What will their slightly incomprehensible nicknames be? Massholes are not just an economically and educationally diverse bunch. They're also more ethnically varied than Guidos: There are Jews, Irishmen, WASPs, Italians, and Portuguese who will happily cut you off on the Bourne Bridge and then give you the finger. (Again, this simmering diversity only promises greater, crazier entertainment.) Below are some broad sketches for a few Masshole hopefuls, based on the bios for the Jersey Shore cast-mates on MTV's Web site.Slate readers should add their own cast member nominees in "The Fray," as this list is surely incomplete.
Robert "Fitzy" Fitzpatrick, 24, Boston
Fitzy says he hates drama, but it always seems to follow him wherever he goes. This amateur hockey player (most recently, he's been holding down a spot on the checking line of the AHL's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins) just wants to have fun this summer. But if love intervenes, Fitzy might have to choose between his love of hockey and his love of one special Massholina. Likes: his Boston Whaler, his beat-up Hartford Whalers hat. Dislikes: A-Rod.
Sarah "Animal" Conti, 21, Worcester, Mass.
Sarah never goes anywhere without her No. 12 Tom Brady Jersey or her trademark hairdo: a slicked-back ponytail with lots of bobby pins. Her girls back home nicknamed her "Animal," because when her hair is down, she looks like the eponymous muppet. Also because she drinks like a bear. These are qualities that Fitzy finds hard to resist.
Theodore "Weasel" Taft, 22, Marblehead, Mass.
This college senior wants one last summer of fun before he graduates from Dartmouth and starts his job in sales at his family's sailboat company. He just wants to stay out of trouble for two months, but he has a history of being disqualified from regattas for unsportsmanlike conduct. He has one rule: "Don't fall in love at the Cape."
Aviva "Diva" Goldsmith, 20, Brookline, Mass.
Aviva works at her mother's nail salon by day, but by night her inner diva comes out. She's looking for that special guy in her life, but she's not willing to settle. Diva spends most weekend nights cruising for a husband at the bar across the street from Tufts' Dental School. She is a reality TV veteran, once appearing on an episode of MTV's True Life: I'm Getting Breast Implants.
Joe "Hot Rod" Tavares, 32, West Dennis, Mass.
The elder statesman of the crew and also the only local, Hot Rod's life is one endless summer share. He's the peacekeeper and the biggest sports fan: He has a full-torso tattoo of a Red Sox jersey, as well as a second tattoo in his nether regions that says "10/27/2004 World Champions." During football season, Hot Rod is a groundskeeper at Gillette Stadium and keeps a piece of sacred sod under his pillow for good luck. He touched Tom Brady's hair one time.
DJ Pauly D., 28, Johnston, R.I.
For the die-hard Jersey Shore fan who will surely be crushed when the original goes off the air, Massholes should provide some continuity. Who better than the pointy-haired Rhode Island native Pauly D.? He will spin at whatever cheesy club the Masshole housemates go to and occasionally "creep" on Aviva. As fans of Jersey Shore know, he has a history of hearting Jewish girls, and has a T-shirt to prove it.

I am new to game creation and game art, so I am looking for someone to lend a hand.
Here is my issue.
I am a big fan of hand drawn animation video. For example if anyone has played castle crashers, Skullgirls, or the quite recent norse mythology game "Jotun� , then you should understand what I mean by 2d hand drawn games. See, I consider myself pretty decent at art and the game I have in mind is fairly simple, however, I still want to implement my art. I will be creating the game in 3d, however the view is orthographic, so my art will be flat. My main questions are should I be using adobe flash, photoshop, or animate? Should I make a sprite sheet or do I just create framed animations where I just draw over the last image on a new frame? How can I import my art? Should I have a separate document for each animation?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.

Lower Limb Fat, Higher Belly Fat Associated With Mortality in People With HIV; BMI Measurements Questioned
March 28, 2011
The following is our transcript of a press conference that took place on March 1 at CROI 2011. In it, Rebecca Scherzer, Ph.D., summarized the findings of a study she was presenting at the conference entitled, "Decreased Limb Muscle and Increased Central Adiposity Are Associated with 5-Year All-cause Mortality in HIV Infection." The study's chief finding is that decreased muscle mass and increased central fat appears to be associated with mortality risk in people with HIV -- a risk that current body mass index measurements may fail to detect.
Rebecca Scherzer: The subject of my talk today was the relationship of body fat and muscle with mortality in HIV infection. We know that unintended weight loss and muscle loss due to disease and aging are risk factors for mortality. Even today, when effective antiretroviral therapy is widely available, we know that HIV-infected patients remain at higher risk of death compared with uninfected persons.
I reported results today from FRAM, the Study of Fat Redistribution and Metabolic Change in HIV Infection. We used whole-body MRI [magnetic resonance imaging] to measure fat and skeletal muscle in nearly 1,200 HIV-infected adults. At our follow-up exam five years later, we determined how many study participants were still alive.
We found that decreased muscle in the arms and legs and increased belly fat were strong and independent predictors of mortality, even after we control for other factors that might be associated with mortality, such as traditional cardiovascular risk factors, HIV-related factors, and markers of inflammation and renal disease.
Contrary to our expectation, we found that peripheral lipoatrophy -- that means loss of leg fat -- which has been reported in HIV infection, did not predict mortality. The relationship between muscle wasting and survival is well known, but clinicians don't measure muscle mass. Instead, clinicians usually rely on body mass index, or BMI, to determine whether a patient has HIV wasting.
Someone with excess belly fat and decreased muscle is at greater risk of death, according to our study. However, such a person might still have a normal BMI, due to their increased belly fat. This illustrates that BMI is a flawed measure. Also keep in mind that muscle is more dense than fat, so it weighs more. So at the other end of the spectrum, if you rely on BMI, you're going to classify someone with a lot of muscle, like an NFL [National Football League] linebacker or Arnold Schwarzenegger, as obese. So it's flawed at both ends.
We'd like to see clinicians use waist circumference as a simple measure of belly fat, and consider estimating arm muscle, using mid-arm circumference and triceps skin fold.
In summary, you do need to track weight change, but also be aware that patients with large bellies may not necessarily have a low enough BMI to alert you to their true risk level. In other words, losing weight is only a signal. Therefore a careful evaluation of the muscle status in patients with excess belly fat is warranted. Thank you.
Reporter: You gave some indication; you talked a little bit about how clinicians should deal with this issue. And I just wonder if you could elaborate on that a little bit. You're right: Most doctors look at BMI. So what else? How should they deal with this? How alert should they be to this issue?
Rebecca Scherzer: We think, in particular, patients who have increased belly fat; those, perhaps, should be the first ones that you'd want to look at, and start to evaluate their muscle status.
Belly fat can be very easily assessed by measuring waist circumference. There are established cut points. I can't tell you one offhand, but the various diabetes groups have published these, so you can tell who is elevated, based on that.
The problem is that the combination of low arm muscle and increased belly fat may lead to somebody having a fairly normal BMI, where you wouldn't ordinarily be worried about HIV wasting.

Criterion June Releases (US - DVD R1 | BD RA)
Criterion announces A Hard Days Night, Judex, and more for June 2014...
All That Heaven Allows
Quote: Release Date: 10 June 2014
Synopsis: This heartbreakingly beautiful indictment of 1950s American mores by Douglas Sirk follows the blossoming love between a well-off suburban widow (Jane Wyman) and her handsome and earthy younger gardener (Rock Hudson). After their romance prompts the scorn of her selfish children and snooty country club friends, she must decide whether to pursue her own happiness or carry on a lonely, hemmed-in existence for the sake of the approval of others. With the help of ace cinematographer Russell Metty, Sirk imbued nearly every shot with a vivid and distinct emotional tenor. A profoundly felt film about class and conformity in small-town America, All That Heaven Allows is a pinnacle of expressionistic Hollywood melodrama.
Disc Features
-New 2K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray
-Audio commentary featuring John Mercer, coauthor of Melodrama: Genre, Style, Sensibility, and film scholar Tamar Jeffers-McDonald
-Rock Hudson's Home Movies (1992), a groundbreaking essay film about the actor by Mark Rappaport
-French television interview with Sirk from 1982
-Excerpts from Behind the Mirror: A Profile of Douglas Sirk, a 1979 BBC documentary featuring rare interview footage with the director
- Contract Kid: William Reynolds on Douglas Sirk, a 2007 interview with the actor, who costarred in three Sirk films, including All That Heaven Allows
-A booklet featuring an essay by film scholar Laura Mulvey and an excerpt from a 1971 essay by filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder on Sirk
Quote: Release Date: 10 June 2014
Synopsis: The concluding chapter of Michelangelo Antonioni's informal trilogy on contemporary malaise (following L'avventura and La notte), L'eclisse (The Eclipse) tells the story of a young woman (Monica Vitti) who leaves one lover (Francisco Rabal) and drifts into a relationship with another (Alain Delon). Using the architecture of Rome as a backdrop for the doomed affair, Antonioni achieves the apotheosis of his style in this return to the theme that preoccupied him the most: the difficulty of connection in an alienating modern world.
Disc Features
-New, restored high-definition digital film transfer, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray
-Audio commentary by film scholar Richard Peña, former program director of New York's Film Society of Lincoln Center
- Michelangelo Antonioni: The Eye That Changed Cinema (2001), a fifty-six-minute documentary exploring the director's life and career
- Elements of Landscape, a twenty-two-minute piece from 2005 about Antonioni and L'eclisse, featuring Italian film critic Adriano Aprà and longtime Antonioni friend Carlo di Carlo
-New English subtitle translation
-A booklet featuring essays by film critics Jonathan Rosenbaum and Gilberto Perez, as well as excerpts from Antonioni's writing about his work
Quote: Release Date: 17 June 2014
Synopsis: This effortlessly cool crime caper, directed by Georges Franju, is a marvel of dexterous plotting and visual invention. Conceived as an homage to Louis Feuillade's 1916 cult silent serial of the same name, Judex kicks off with the mysterious kidnapping of a corrupt banker by a shadowy crime fighter (American magician Channing Pollock) and spins out into a thrillingly complex web of deceptions. Combining stylish sixties modernism with silent-cinema touches and even a few unexpected sci-fi accents, Judex is a delightful bit of pulp fiction and a testament to the art of illusion.
Disc Features
-New 2K digital film restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray
-Interview from 2007 with the film's cowriter Jacques Champreux, the grandson of Louis Feuillade, cocreator of the silent serial Judex

- Franju le visionnaire, a fifty-minute program from 1998 on director Franju's career and imagination
-New English subtitle translation
-One Blu-ray and one DVD, with all content available in both formats
-A booklet featuring an essay by film scholar Geoffrey O'Brien, along with reprinted writings by and excerpted interviews with Franju
Hearts and Minds
Quote: Release Date: 17 June 2014
Synopsis: A startling and courageous film, Peter Davis's landmark 1974 documentary Hearts and Minds unflinchingly confronted the United States' involvement in Vietnam at the height of the foment that surrounded it. Using a wealth of sources—from interviews to newsreels to footage of the conflict and the upheaval it occasioned on the home front—Davis constructs a powerfully affecting picture of the disastrous effects of war. Explosive, persuasive, and wrenching, Hearts and Minds is an overwhelming emotional experience and the most important nonfiction film ever made about this devastating period in history.
Disc Features
-High-definition digital restoration, supervised by director Peter Davis and cinematographer Richard Pearce, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray
-Audio commentary featuring Davis
-A collection of over two hours of never-before-seen outtakes from the film, including interviews with presidential adviser George Ball, broadcast journalist David Brinkley, French journalist and historian Philippe Devillers, political activist Tony Russo, and General William Westmoreland
-A booklet featuring essays by Davis, film critic Judith Crist, and historians Robert K. Brigham, George C. Herring, and Ngo Vinh Long
Picnic at Hanging Rock
Quote: Release Date: 17 June 2014
Synopsis: This sensual and striking chronicle of a disappearance and its aftermath put director Peter Weir on the map and helped usher in a new era of Australian cinema. Set at the turn of the twentieth century, Picnic at Hanging Rock concerns a small group of students from an all-female college and a chaperone, who vanish while on a St. Valentine's Day outing. Less a mystery than a journey into the mystic, as well as an inquiry into issues of class and sexual repression in Australian society, Weir's gorgeous, disquieting film is a work of poetic horror whose secrets haunt viewers to this day.
Disc Features
-Remastered high-definition digital film transfer, supervised and approved by director Peter Weir, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray
-Extended interview with Weir
-New piece on the making of the film, featuring interviews from 2003 with executive producer Patricia Lovell, producers Hal McElroy and Jim McElroy, and cast members

A Hard Day's Night
Quote: Release Date: 24 June 2014
Synopsis: Meet the Beatles! Just one month after they exploded onto the U.S. scene with their Ed Sullivan Show appearance, John, Paul, George, and Ringo began working on a project that would bring their revolutionary talent to the big screen. A Hard Day's Night, in which the bandmates play slapstick versions of themselves, captured the astonishing moment when they officially became the singular, irreverent idols of their generation and changed music forever. Directed with raucous, anything-goes verve by Richard Lester and featuring a slew of iconic pop anthems, including the title track, "Can't Buy Me Love," "I Should Have Known Better," and "If I Fell," A Hard Day's Night, which reconceived the movie musical and exerted an incalculable influence on the music video, is one of the most deliriously entertaining movies of all time.
Disc Features
-New 4K digital film restoration, approved by director Richard Lester, with two audio options—a monaural soundtrack and a new 5.1 surround soundtrack made by Apple Records—presented in uncompressed monaural and DTS-HD Master Audio on the Blu-ray

Venturing Home Page
Return to the Viking Council Home Page
Code &
One of the strengths of the Venturing
program is its ability to meet the interests of all Venturers.
Sometimes Venturers like to investigate new, different areas. Variety
in a crew always seems to make it more fun to go to meetings and
outings. Also, Venturers probably have many interests or would
like to have more. Because of that desire, and to provide a
pathway to many different experiences, the Venturing Bronze awards
program is offered. Venturers can earn their crew's specialty
Bronze Award or all five Bronze awards.
The five different Venturing Bronze
awards are Arts and Hobbies, Outdoor,
Sea Scout (Ordinary Award), Sports,
and Youth Ministries. All five Bronze awards contain the common
elements of experience, learning a skill, and sharing your experiences
and skills with others. Earning at least one Bronze Award is
required for the Venturing Gold
Award. The Bronze Award is designed as
the entry-level award for Venturers so they can acquire usable skills
that will carry them along the trail to the Venturing Silver
For Arts
and Hobbies, Sports, or Youth
Ministries, a Venturer must complete at least nine of 12 requirements
established for each of those three areas. For Outdoor,
Venturers must complete at least four core requirements and two
electives that are found in the Ranger Award requirements.
For Sea Scout, Venturers must earn
the Sea Scout Ordinary rank. To earn a specific Bronze
Award such as the Arts and Hobbies Bronze
Award, all completed requirements must be Arts
and Hobbies requirements.
Bronze candidates may have their crew
Advisor or a specialty consultant approve or sign off on that
completed requirement. Requirements for the Arts
and Hobbies, Sports, and Youth
Ministries Bronze can be found in the Silver Award Guidebook.
Requirements for the Sea Scout Bronze
(Ordinary Award) can be found in the Sea Scouting manual.
The requirements for the Outdoor Bronze
Award can be found in the Ranger Guidebook. There
is no committee review for the Venturing Bronze Award.
The actual Bronze Award is a campaign-style ribbon that may be worn on the Sea Scouting
or Venturing uniform. If all five are earned, all five may be worn on
the uniform. The ribbons have an icon representing the area in which
it was earned superimposed on the ribbon.
web site is a volunteer effort. Suggestions for improving
the site are welcome! Please email your comments to the
Web Committee.
Problem reports may be sent to the
Webmaster. Our goal is to improve communications and to
advance Scouting in the
Viking Council.

UnNews:Chinese elections finish with fashion show
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
15 November 2012
BEIJING, China --
In one of the most nail biting contests in Chinese electoral history, Xi Jinping was declared to be the new President-elect of China in a rigorous one horse race. Inside the Great Hall of the People, underneath the gaze of the Great Leader, Jinping walked on a red carpet to celebrate his victory. Later he and his colleagues appeared in locally made swimsuits.
Joining Jinping on stage to receive the 30 minute ovation was his winning team of Sui-Tootite, Pyng-Pyong Pow, Mi-Wi and Li-Lo Doggo. His beaten rival Hu Jintao who had pulled out of the race before anyone could vote, gave his successor a set of keys for China's nuclear weapons and complimentary red coloured credit cards to spend on trips abroad. Jinping then made his first speech as leader:
"I am honoured and humbled by this victory. My deputy Go Gung-Ho will take down all the names of those who forgot to vote for me today. China now can face the future with a new, dynamic leadership in control. The Declining West take note: My wife Peng Liyuan will advance the cause of Chinese culture with her martial folk boogie".
The Chinese media say Jinping will carry on the policies of the China as implemented by the Chinese Communist party. These will include an ambitious plan colonise Mars and sink Japan. China's living standards are expected to rise so high that Americans and Europeans will be trying to smuggle themselves into the country.
Following the speeches and the bikinis, Peng Liyuan closed the event with her song Panda Style.
In a separate development, Chinese businessman/blogger Shrill-Loon Ego urged his fellow 'netties' to march on Beijing in their golf buggies. He said Xi Jinping was not really Chinese but an illegal immigrant from Chicago. Shrill-Loon Ego's website has since been unavailable.

Microsoft will allow self-publishing on the Xbox One - Every Xbox One will be a development unit. "Our vision is that every person can be a creator. That every Xbox One can be used for development. That every game and experience can take advantage of all of the features of Xbox One and Xbox LIVE. This means self-publishing. This means Kinect, the cloud, achievements. This means great discoverability on Xbox LIVE. We'll have more details on the program and the timeline at gamescom in August." No matter how much Microsoft screwed up the initial PR around the new Xbox, this is just awesome news.

Functional hardware The term 'hardware' refers to the tangible parts of a computer system. This is in contrast to 'software', which cannot be physically touched and is used to mean computer programs and data related to them. Today computers, printers and scanners are so commonplace that we've got used to using them in our everyday lives. So much so that we sometimes forget the amount of complex technology that goes into them - it's no wonder the sensitive parts are safely hidden away under the housing. Nevertheless, PC hardware lies at the heart of modern communication. Without hard drives, graphics cards and internal memory, even the best software is rendered useless. Hardware therefore forms the basis of many different applications. Buy hardware quickly and conveniently As a computer hardware specialist, Conrad offers robust and long-lasting hardware at affordable prices in its online shop. Here you'll find many products for upgrading or retrofitting your existing system, such as external or internal hard drives, interface cards, sound cards and tuning kits, which can optimise the performance of your devices.

Why did it still not become a reality? I really think it would organize the boards more regarding just more of the miscellaneous religious articles that are around the Internet. And I'm pretty sure more people are interested than shown.Off-topic: Not shocked to find that Libya and Egypt have religious conflicts and mandates they want to implement. Sad. There is a Huffington post article (I think that was it, or maybe it's another news source) that was discussing the only possibilities for Egypt would either be a secular country or Islam. 'Guess we all know which one the people of Egypt want, despite the fact that it can cause further conflict.
There is ALWAYS something in the news involving stupid religious people doing stupid things for their stupid religions.
Seriously, you guys are the meanest people I have ever met. I hope you are happy and feel really good about yourself.

"Google was scheduled to post third quarter earnings after the bell on Thursday, but unexpectedly they were released around 12:31 PM in New York, revealing a big miss on profit. The company also missed expectations on revenue." I have no idea if the figures are bad, and if so, how bad. I mean, missing analysts' estimates doesn't really say anything useful, does it?

The No. 14 Gauchos split a pair of matches on the first day of the UCSB/asics Invitational Tournament, losing to defending national champions Ohio State and defeating Cal State Northridge. With their 1-1 tournament record, UCSB will battle the BYU Cougars for fifth place tomorrow afternoon.
In their morning match, and regular season debut, the Gauchos went up against a familiar foe in eighth-ranked Ohio State. The two teams clashed for the National Championship last May, with Ohio State ultimately prevailing in a dramatic five-set match.
Though a National Title was not on the line, this rematch had just as many twists and turns as their last meeting. The Buckeyes came out victorious in five sets once again, with game scores of 19-25, 18-25, 25-19, 28-26, 15-9.
UCSB, and specifically senior outside hitter Blaine Nielsen, came out firing in the first set. Nielsen picked up six of his 13 kills in the first set, which led all players for the frame, while maintaining a .750 hitting percentage. Junior outside hitter Miles Evans, who finished with 13 kills as well, chipped in four kills in the set and served the first ace of the season for his team. UCSB was able to hold Ohio State to just a .120 hitting percentage despite not recording a block during the set. The Gauchos collectively hit .462 for the set.
The Gauchos kept up their polished play in the second game, restricting the Buckeyes to a .045 hitting percentage for the set. Freshman outside hitter Kevin Donohue contributed six of his twelve kills in the second frame, and also picked up his first career ace. Junior middle blocker was a force in the middle, picking up three of his team-high eight blocks in the second game.
Things began to turn sour for the Gauchos in the third, as they collectively hit just .115 while failing to record a team block in the set for the second time in the match. Ohio State outside hitter Shawn Sangrey, who terrorized the Gauchos in the National Championship Match with 30 kills, began to find his form, putting down eight of his match-high 20 kills.
UCSB's play did not improve in the final two games- they recorded negative hitting percentages in both, thanks mostly to OSU's Grayson Overman, who led all players with 11 blocks. OSU needed 28 points to put down the Gauchos in the fourth game, but were able to restrict UCSB to just nine points in the decisive fifth set. The loss was the second time in a row that UCSB had blown a 2-0 set lead, following Wednesday's exhibition defeat to the University of Manitoba Bisons.
Mik Berzins and Michael Henchy also turned in double-digit kills for the Buckeyes (15 and 10, respectively). Berzins also led OSU with eight digs.
In the other morning matches, UCLA topped Cal State Northridge, Long Beach State beat Loyola (Chicago), and UC Irvine knocked off top-ranked BYU.
The Gauchos were able to find their form in the Nightcap, defeating Cal State Northridge in four games.
The match did not start auspiciously for UCSB, however, as the Matadors were able to jump out to a one-set lead on the strength of a .556 hitting percentage and strong play at the net. Jared Moore led a potent blocking effort for Cal State Northridge, picking up three of his four blocks in the first set. They recorded four blocks in the game as a team.
Things turned around in the second for UCSB, as Miles Evans turned in his strongest set of the night. The Santa Barbara City College transfer recorded seven of his match-high 19 kills, hitting .500 for the frame. Recording just one block as a team in the first game, the Gauchos had five in the second, highlighted by Dylan Davis picking up four of his match-high eight in the set. Sophomore libero Chad Kingi had five of his eight digs in the set. Kingi racked up a total of 22 digs on Friday. Most importantly, Cal State Northridge was held to a .030 hitting percentage, their lowest of the night.
The third set started out disasterously for UCSB, who spotted the Matadors a 7-0 lead to begin the frame. A time-out from UCSB Head Coach Rick McLaughlin led to a huge swing in momentum for the Gauchos, who turned a 7-0 deficit into a 13-13 tie. They did not stop there, however, as they stormed to a set victory on the strength of their serving and blocking. A pair of Blaine Nielsen aces pumped up his team, while the blocking corps secured another four team blocks in the game. A late ace by junior outside hitter Grant Goswiller sealed the Matador's fate. After their initial seven point deficit, the Gauchos went on a 25-13 run to finish the set.
A hard-fought fourth game ultimately proved to be victorious for the Gauchos. A strong game from freshman opposite Chris Hartig, who had six of his 16 kills in the decisive game, pushed the Gauchos to a win. Despite Matador hitters Matt Stork and Julius Hoefer recording five and six kills, respectively, UCSB came out on top when, tied 24-24, a kill by Miles Evans was followed by an attacking error from Stork.
With the loss, Cal State Northridge stands at 0-2 to start the season, and they will play Loyola tomorrow morning in the seventh-place match.
Junior setter Oliver Deutschman recorded 71 assists on the day, despite injuring his ankle in the morning match.
UCSB Head Coach Rick McLaughlin was pleased with his team's resolve, saying "I'm very proud of the way our team responded after losing in five sets to OSU. Every guy on the team stayed positive and believed in each-other regardless of the score or situation. It allowed us to dig ourselves out of a few deep holes in games 3 and 4. We still have much work ahead to reach the level we need to stay competitive in our league, but we made a few small steps tonight."
In the other night matches, BYU defeated Loyola, UC Irvine defeated Long Beach State, and UCLA swept Ohio State. The schedule for tomorrow's matches can be found below.
Saturday, Jan. 7 - all matches at Rob Gym
Match 9: CSUN vs Loyola (11 AM)
Match 10: UCSB vs BYU (1:30 PM)
Match 11: Ohio State vs Long Beach State (4 PM)
Match 12 (Championship) : UC Irvine vs UCLA (6:30 PM)

Maybe you just don't like incense. No big deal. There's a ton of other prominent notes out there, why don't you just look elsewhere and maybe later on your nose will warm to incense scents then?
Thread: Struggling with Incense!
For some strange reason, when ever I try a frag with some type of smoky incense that note overtakes the entire frag.
Completely not working:
Jubilation XXV, Divine's Lhomme Sage, & Mechant Loup.
Somewhat likable:
Tauer's L'air du desert Marocain, Le labo Rose 31
Can actually pull off:
It seems most of the members here swear by some of these but I can't for the life of me understand why they don't agree with me.
I was wearing Jubilation XXV and I know it's a bit smokey but someone (a female) actually told me that it is something a member of another race would wear.
What a shame. Hopefully when the extreme cold weather hits Western New York the tide on these will change.
Maybe you just don't like incense. No big deal. There's a ton of other prominent notes out there, why don't you just look elsewhere and maybe later on your nose will warm to incense scents then?
I have the same thing. I sniffed a couple of frags with incense in it and I didn't like it. For example, i tried to like Tauers Desert Marocain so bad, but it didn;t work out. Same thing with pepper, it's not bad but I don't want it on my skin
One of my favorites is Comme des Garcons Avignon layered with L'Artisan Passage D'Enfer. On their own Avignon can be a bit dry, and Passage can be a bit floral; but together they are amazing.

I know what you mean. I love the smell of sandalwood (very incence-y) but whenever it's in a fragrance, it just completely takes over, so I avoid it (fragrance-wise, I like it in candles)
Just out of curiosity, what exactly did your friend say about wearing a fragrance from another race. I'm not trying to start a fight, I'm honestly curious. I've never heard anything like that before.
Don't feel that you need to apologize for not liking a particular note or accord. It's like being sad because you prefer a room painted tan rather than light green. Just keep sampling and coming back to frags that you think have something to offer, but you don't like yet. This has worked out very well for me. However, some frags I didn't think I would ever like and got rid of, mostly the ones with strong lavender notes. Other notes I've come to like, even though I didn't like them initially.

I have the same problem, mrdt, and sometimes I feel like it's the bane of my existence! I so very much want to enjoy frags with incense in them during cold weather, but after maybe an hour any incense blooms so much on my skin that I'm gagging and trying to get it off. It overwhelms to the point of near-losing-it nausea.
I adore Olivier Durbano Amethyst for the first bit - grapey, smokey, a bit piney, very lovely. But it, too, goes the way of everything else and I'm in an incense haze before long
"Curiosity is insubordination in its purest form." - Alexander Skarsgård
Looking to try Les Senteurs Gourmandes Musc Blanc, Parfums de Nicolai Vanille Intense, Chanel Beige and...everything else!
About the race thing. I know what this person is saying, I think. Unfamiliar smells strike people as powerfully alien or even transgressive. If you take up perfume partly as a form of travel in time and place and between traditions, then you're going to strike certain less cosmopolitan people this way. They'll live.
If you're still interested in incense, there are lots of other ways to come at it. Have you tried a white smoke incense like Comme des Garcons 2 Man or Lorenzo Villoresi Lui? Those are much lighter, an incense vibe that you might almost describe as clean. And then there are raw resins the frankincense in C&S #88 or Domenico Caraceni. These come across as buoyant, nearly sweet, not at all smoky or grimy.
YSL Kouros if you dare...
I dislike a majority of incense fragrances, but I like a few (Kyoto, Serge Noire, Dzongkha) very much. L'Air du Desert Marocain was a scrubber on me, was was Incense Rose.
The only pattern that I can see so far is that I dislike incense with florals. Maybe you also have a note or note category that just doesn't mesh with incense for you?
And yeah, whoever said that to you about Jubilation XXV is a bit clueless.

Gucci Envy ? This incense is easy to wear I like L'air better though.
AUSSIES, come join our SPLIT GROUP at http://groups.google.com.au/group/oz-scent-splits
"No Pain, No Gain"
I like dry, resinous scents and actually seek out incense-oriented scents of that type. For example, Profumum's Olibanum which is centered on frankincense, is wonderful. Comme des Garcon's Incense line, especially Zagorsk and Kyoto, are very translucent, dry scents.
Some incense scents can be very heavy, sweet, "gothic".
May I draw attention to the Coneheads social group, here on Basenotes? There are threads there discussing incense and resin.
Cheers, ody

I would say take a break from the incense, and then go back to it later once you've gotten to smell more scents. I've come back to scents I initially hated, but then after trying more I ended up loving them when I came back.
Although there are many, many fragrances out there with a prominent incense note with which I am unfamiliar, I have always found Signature for Men by S.T. Dupont to have used incense quite tastefully. Nemo by Cacharel also makes very good use of the incense note. While many would disagree, the ultimate drydown of the original Kouros has an incense note to die for. Absolutely wonderful! Good luck!
And to this day I still don't "get" many classics. Or musks. Or floral chypres. It's a learning curve, I guess. And I'm still way at the bottom.
Has everyone checked out my Top 100 Blog??
I think it's best to wear things that you wouldn't expect someone like yourself to wear. Fragrance is just another amazing way to break from boring molds we are put into by society.
I struggle with Tauer's Incense Extreme but can just manage L'air du Desert Marocain - if I apply lightly it doesn't give me a headache. However, I love Bond No 9 Andy Warhol Silver Factory so maybe I just find Tauer's fragrances a bit too heavy for me.
Shalimar and Chanel No 22 both have wonderful incensey drydowns that are distinctive but not overwhelming.
try Dia might like it
SALE:Bond no.9, Armani Code Summer, Prada, Kenzo, Amouage...more!!
First, I'm happy to hear there's another Basenoter in Western NY. I've been feeling pretty isolated. Welcome.
Second, If you're not related to the girl making racial comments you could just avoid her company.
Third, How about frankencense? You could buy a bottle of the EO at Wegmanns. If you like it, you can look for that note in the BN fragrance directory.

If I end up choosing a design from this contest it will very likely result in more work for the designer as I will need more of the interior features graphically mocked up as we develop them.
Please PM me with any questions.
Thanks, and good luck to everyone!

They put me and my wife on the [b]second[/b] available flight. But, I was assured that my lugage was on the first plane and would be waiting in Bali for my wife and I for our belated honeymoon. Second flight - late taking off. Almost missed connections with third flight with boarding time.... but.... Third flight - late taking off. [u][b]Bali[/b][/u] - We arrived at the airport and my luggage was nowhere to be found!!! The baggage folks told me they had a message it was put on the wrong plane and it would be here the next day before 1 PM. The not only did not offer any compensation, they said they never did that. I should say, I was supposed to have arrived in Bali for our first day at noon, it was now 7 PM and we had no luggage. Monday in Bali is wasted. Tuesday in Bali. Beautiful morning. No luggage, old clothes. At 1:30, I called the airport baggage handlers and they told me that my luggage was on the way. At 2:30, I called the handlers again and informed them that my hotel was only 15 minutes away from the airport and my luggage still was missing. They said it was on the way. At 3:00, I called and they said they called the driver who was on his way.... and the luggage showed up a few minutes later. Over half of the day is wasted. I tried to contact Malaysia Air's office in Bali and got no answer before 5 PM and then they closed at 5 PM. I tried to find an email complaint address on their website and that was fruitless. I did find a lot of travel/ticketing agents that use malaysiaair.com though. Saturday. Departing Bali. I went to the administration office and the gentleman there advised me that we should have received US$60 each on Monday. He refused to get my wife and I an upgrade as compensation. His reason was that there were no seats on either plane returning to Seoul. Both flights took off late and so did the stop-over. And.... surprise!!!! .... there were many empty seats in business class. Malaysia Air cost my wife and I at least a day-and-a-half of our honeymoon and offered no compensation at all. Every flight took off late. [b]I will never fly Malaysia Air again [/b]and I am advising that you consider another airline also. I will add that I have flown China Air and Korea Air and have never had a problem._________________If you have to think whether something is right or wrong, it is wrong.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – It's not always how you start, and the King University women's basketball team got off to a slow start against Converse College on Monday night. However, the Tornado shooters, namely Chelsea Bowling and Brittany Stringer brought the Tornado back with their three-point shooting en route to the 81-65 win.
Converse (1-22, 1-14 CC) controlled the game early and held a 20-13 advantage with 12 minutes left before Tia Keitt converted a three-point play. Sara Mitchell followed with a triple to pull King (15-8, 9-6 CC) within three only a minute later.
Bonnie Durrett nailed a pair of free throw two minutes later to pull King within one before Stephanie Brantley evened the score at 24 with a jump shot with six minutes left in the first half. Stringer then struck for her first of five triples in the contest to give the Tornado a 27-24 lead. One minute later, Stringer struck again from long range, to stretch King's to 32-26.
The Valkyries then went on a run and got within 34-33 before King closed the half with a barrage of triples over the final two minutes. Bowling hit the first two before Kelly Jackson capped the first half scoring with a three ball from the left wing to give King a 46-35 advantage at the break.
In the second half, the teams went back-and-forth until Stringer ignited a Tornado run with another triple. Jackson and Durrett added buckets before Bowling capped the 10-0 spurt with another three-point basket to give King their largest lead of the game at 64-48 with 10 minutes remaining.
Converse tried to comeback, and got within seven points with five minutes left, but a Durrett layup and another Stringer three-point basket thwarted the Valkyries' momentum. From that point, the Tornado scored seven of the games' final 10 points to take the contest 81-65.
Bowling went 6-for-8 from three-point land to lead the Tornado with 18 points. Stringer followed with a career-high 15 points on 5-for-9 shooting from three-point range. Her previous career-high was nine points set on December 13, 2013 against the University of Pikeville. Durrett followed with 12 points and a team-high nine rebounds while Keitt rounded out four scorers in double figures with 10 points and five assists.
Brooke Garrison led Converse with 16 points and 12 rebounds while Jenna White and Avery Winchester followed with 12 points apiece. Erin Horne chipped in with 10 points.
King will be in action again on Wednesday when they travel to Belmont Abbey College. Tipoff from the Wheeler Center is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.

Anna Bolena
First-ever staging of Donizetti's Anna Bolena
In 2011 soprano Anna Netrebko starred in the first-ever staging of Donizetti's Anna Bolena at the Lincoln Centre in New York.
She plays the doomed second wife of Henry VIII opposite bass Ildar Abdrazakov's Henry and tenor Stephen Costello's Lord Richard Percy. Mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova plays Anna's lady-in-waiting and confidante Jane Seymour who becomes the King's lover and eventually replaces Anna as his wife.
Directed by David McVicar, with musical direction by Marco Armiliato, this production was excellently received.

New York-area lawmakers in both parties erupted in anger after learning the House Republican leadership decided to allow the current term of Congress to end without holding a vote on aid for victims of Superstorm Sandy.
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., said late Tuesday he was told by the office of Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia that Speaker John Boehner of Ohio had decided to abandon a vote this session.
Cantor, who sets the House schedule, did not immediately comment. House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland told reporters that just before Tuesday evening's vote on "fiscal cliff" legislation, Cantor told him that he was "99.9 percent confident that this bill would be on the floor, and that's what he wanted."
