I have a pre-built database with user credentials. The only thing I can change about this database is how the passwords are hashed. (Don't ask about that...let's just say it's dumb and I'm fixing it, please.) It's populated with credentials, so whatever I use has to mold to it. We are switching to the ASP.net MVC4 framework, and starting from scratch.
What membership system should I use for the problem, if any?
It should:
a) allow me to check against the database using SHA512 for the password b) set roles depending on the results c) decorate the actions in the controller so I can feel like a boss
Assume I've had a website for people who love to roleplay as toothbrushes. There's -a lot- (for a small- to mid-range website) of data already in the existing database. I'm moving to a brand new database layout and will be converting from the old one. We could change how the user system is managed, but to be honest we'd rather not do so. We have a user table with username and password. Very simple.
I have googled, and googled, and Stack Overflow'd, and Stack Overflow'd. What I have found is essentially a choose-your-own-adventure book where they either have blank page numbers, or the give me a page to an older book whose adventure isn't quite like this one.
I'm hoping that either a) someone will call me a dumb butt and point out I'm asking a duplicate question that leads to a resource with some complete example and/or documentation on how to do what I want or b) help me find a way.
As of right now I'm contemplating writing my own user management/authentication filtering system. I was going to go with the MembershipProvider but that seemed like overkill and didn't appear to do what I wanted it to. Maybe I'm narrowing my vision down too much.
I'm more than willing to hack my own way through and work to solve a problem, but I don't want to roll my own thing if there is something available that I can hook in to.
Update 1
Win made a comment about the MembershipProvider being independent of the MVC system which gave me an "Aha!" moment as things come together. I'm re-evaluating my research to see if I simply didn't put the puzzle pieces together correctly.
Update 2
After much help from dkroy and Win, I got a bit deeper into what is going on here. Once I have everything done I will include it in an edit for anyone else looking for information. Essentially, I was on the right track before I was thinking about scrapping it. I hadn't implemented a GetUser call, and I wasn't calling SetAuthCookie, so it wasn't working correctly. I'm now in the process of writing a RoleProvider.

Jobs Watch: A rough year, but it's all relative
|| Print |
|Ben Jacklet
|Wednesday, December 23, 2009
One of the advantages of working for a monthly publication is the week-long holiday we all take to recharge for the new year, a little time to step back and let others feed the media beast. It's a nice perk any year, but after 2009 a few days of rest and reflection are more vital than ever. I can't say I enjoyed 2009, but I did survive it. You know things are iffy when you feel fortunate just to have a job that isn't getting chopped and a home that isn't getting sold out from under you through foreclosure. I believe it was Einstein who said that it's all relative.
For better or worse, I'm entering my 22nd year of journalism in 2010. I've covered deadly dull town board meetings in Guilderland, NY, surreal street demonstrations in Seattle and commercial fishing on Lake Malawi. As careers go it's been borderline when measured by pay. Another way to look at it is that I've gotten front-row access to great events and amazing people, and I've gotten paid to hunt things down and write about my findings. There are worse ways to go through life than following your instincts from story to story.
But hey, I'm no Scrooge. I'm no Grinch. Quite the contrary, I make it a point to pour a nice chunk of money into the local economy when this time of year rolls around. I've even recovered — somewhat — from my fear of super-stores. It's a short walk from my house to the nearest Fred Meyer, and I expect I'll be be making that walk plenty of times over the holidays to pick up Dungeness Crab, Oregon beer and as many necessities and non-necessities as I can carry home. Walking through the front door with a sack full of goodies for the kids is a ritual I love and one that I appreciate more deeply than ever as we finally slam the door on 2009 and hope for the best — while preparing for the worst — in 2010.

November 27, 2014
FALLON, Nev. (AP) - Next of kin have been notified of the death of a U.S. military pilot killed in a fighter jet crash during a Nevada training exercise, but the victim's name is being withheld pending a formal announcement by the pilot's parent command.
Naval Air Force spokeswoman Lt. Reagan Lauritzen confirmed Monday that officials reached the family of the pilot who crashed Saturday on a training range east of Naval Air Station Fallon.
The Navy confirmed the death late Sunday. It's unclear when the family received notification, which Lauritzen said triggers at least a 24-hour hold on public identification. She declined to identify the parent command.
Lauritzen says the F/A-18C was a Marine jet on loan to the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center, not one of the Navy's Hornets as initially reported.

Home pool proves friendly for Wavemakers
The Lakes Region Wavemakers recently hosted a home meet at the Laconia Athletic and Swim Club against the Concord Y and the Peterborough Wave Swim Team. Many swimmers participated in the meet with quite a few placing in the top ten and dropping time in their events. This was the first LRW home meet for swimmers; Owen Sanborn, Maria, Ryan W., Thor and Dagon, Rubby, Meredith Gerken, Ryan V., Jake Dumais, Murphy Harris, Joe Bonnel and sister Angie, Maggie Kirwan, Paije Fenderson, and Josh Kelleher.
In the 8 and under age group, Meredith Gerken (6), Juliet Sinkus (8), Hayley Cochrane (7), Riley Pinard (6), Ethan Vachon (8), Ayden Malloy (8), and Ruby Walker (6) all had big time drops in their events. Gerken had the most substantial time drops in the 25 and 50 freestyle, dropping 9.28 seconds and 13.25 seconds respectively.
The 9-10 swimmers swam fast, cutting off notable amounts of time in their events. Caitlin Dunleavy (9) dropped 28.52 seconds in her 100 IM, 7.45 seconds in her 100 freestyle, and 3.77 seconds in the 50 freestyle. Also dropping time was Sydney Mailloux (9) who touched the wall 31.53 seconds faster in the 100 freestyle then she had done previously. Gracie Shoemaker (10) and Jack Schumacher (10) both dropped over 9 seconds total in their events.
Kathryn Hawkes (11) and Anna Stankes (12) had the biggest time drops in the 11-12 age group with Hawkes dropping 46.61 seconds in her 200 freestyle and Stankes dropping 20.09 seconds in her 50 butterfly. Also dropping large amounts of time were Alyxandra Huckaby in the 200 freestyle, Alexa Mailloux (11) in the 100 free, and Thor Burr (12) in the 50 breaststroke.
For the 13 and over swimmers, Kaitlyn Callahan (14) dropped notable amounts of time in her 100 freestyle and 100 breastroke. She dropped 5.03 seconds in the free and 7.12 seconds in the breaststroke.

Rebecca Cook (15) had a pair of personal best times in the 100 fly and the 200 IM, dropping a little over 2 seconds to achieve each of them. Allie Keith (17) dropped 2.60 seconds in her 100 breaststroke. The 13 and over swimmers did a very impressive job placing in the top spots of their events.

The girls' A team looks to continue its success this week with an away game at Alton on Tuesday and a home game against Merrimack Valley on Friday.

LMS boys beat Kennett 69-17
The Laconia Middle School boys' A team kicked off their final week of the regular season with the long road trip to North Conway to tip-off against Kennett. It took the Sachems a while to find their legs; fortunately their big men were able to keep them out ahead of their speedy opponents. Drew Muzzey led his team with 18 points and 5 boards and Center Logan Bell added 17 points and 13 boards. Defensively point guard Christian Gaspa was nasty in the Sachem's press, getting 5 steals. Dan Engelson added 3 steals, as did Muzzey. The boys from Kennett battled right down to the final whistle and gave the Sachems their closest game of the season before falling 48-32.
The Sachems were at home for their next game against Alton. Looking to get back on track, the youngster from Laconia came out firing on all cylinders. It was the powerful combination of Muzzey and Bell, who again set the pace. Muzzey had a season/career high of 26 points and 7 boards while Bell dumped in 19 points and grabbed 12 boards. Jack Maher dropped 7 points and 9 boards while Riley Roy popped a couple of nice 3 pointers to chip in 6 points. Ryan Paiva was big on the boards, pulling down 10 rebounds to help control the game's tempo. Christian Gaspa dished off 8 assists as he quickly approaches 100 for the season. Defensively Bell led a great defensive effort with 4 steals. Christian Platon, Parker Minor, Noah Cruz, and Ryan McCrea had 3 steals each and every member of the Sachems recorded at least one steal. When the clock sounded to end the game, Laconia had a dominant 69-17 victory and upped their season record to 16-0. Their final regular season game will be tomorrow evening against Merrimack Valley.

The Toronto stock market closed higher Friday, with commodity prices and resource companies advancing amid signs that central banks are prepared to step up efforts to keep the fragile global economic recovery going.
Saskatchewan posted an inflation rate of 2.5 per cent in October, third-highest among the provinces and ahead of the province's 2.2-per-cent increase in the consumer price index in September, Statistics Canada said Friday.
REGINA — Saskatchewan posted an inflation rate of 2.5 per cent in October, third-highest among the provinces and ahead of the province's 2.2 per cent increase in the consumer price index (CPI) in September, Statistics Canada said Friday. Between September and October, consumer prices in Saskatchewan rose by 0.5 per cent — the largest monthly increase of any province and far above the national average of 0.1 per cent, said United Steelworkers economist Erin Weir.
Resource stocks powered the Toronto stock market to a solid advance Thursday amid data showing business activity declining in China and Europe and another report indicating the U.S. continues to be the major prop for the global economy.
While most Canadian oil and gas producers remain intent on maintaining output, oil services companies are signalling a downturn next year.
Oil patch merger and acquisition activity will be disrupted as companies take stock of oil price volatility, according to John Chambers, chief executive officer of FirstEnergy Capital Corp.
Rumours of the great Canadian housing bubble are greatly exaggerated, says Greg Klump, chief economist for the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA).
Rumours of the great Canadian housing bubble are greatly exaggerated, says Greg Klump, chief economist for the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA).
The Toronto stock market closed relatively flat Wednesday after the U.S. Federal Reserve hinted that it likely won't move on interest rates any time soon.
Amaya Gaming Group Corp. has been a pretty solid play for investors since debuting at $1 on the Canadian market in July 2010.
The Toronto stock market registered a solid advance Tuesday afternoon as German economic data suggested Europe's biggest economy is stabilizing.
Plenty of studies show that investors tend to overweight their own equity market compared to investing abroad, a behaviour that has particularly worked against a lot of Canadian investors given the underperformance of this country's resource sectors and, more importantly, weakening currency.
Real estate may not exactly be the Rodney Dangerfield of equities, but it hasn't always been accorded the respect it deserves, despite being one of the fastest-growing segments on global stock markets in the past 15 years.
The Toronto stock market closed with a modest advance Monday with gains spread out across almost all sectors despite disappointing economic news from the world's third-largest economy.
I write regarding the drop in oil prices and the effect on provincial and federal tax revenues, the economy and employment.
Energy will be the primary focus on the Toronto stock market this week as investors focus on the fate of the Keystone XL pipeline project and whether oil prices can stay above four-year lows.
The Toronto stock market closed higher Friday as energy stocks advanced and oil prices clawed back some of Thursday's big loss.
In the perennial personal finance debate over whether you should pay offyour mortgage or invest your savings, some take a firm stand.
Delays of the Keystone XL pipeline are providing little obstacle to western Canadian oil producers getting their crude to the U.S. Gulf Coast, with shipments set to more than double next year.
Exactly when the great boom took hold in Saskatchewan has been a matter of much political debate.

A Canadian professor has been flooded with angry e-mails from parents after publishing a study saying that the popular children's TV show featuring Thomas the Tank Engine teaches children to be conformist -- and sexist. University of Alberta political scientist Shauna Wilton says she recognizes that Thomas—who works on the railway on the fictional island of Sodor—also stresses positive themes, such as trust, honesty, and hard work, but she notes that only eight of the 49 main characters in the current Thomas shows are female. Only one, Emily, is among the core team of steam engines—and she didn't show up until the TV series' seventh season. Is Thomas the Tank Engine sexist? (Watch a Fox report about whether Thomas the Tank Engine is sexist)
What nonsense: Thomas is a great role model for little boys, says Sally Morrell in Australia's Herald Sun. He's "kind, friendly, and helpful, and always tries his best." The show may appear un-PC to a mom with a little girl—after all, the original books were written in the 1940s by a minister for his son. But a lack of "train engines who wear lipstick" is far less sexist than all those Disney princesses.
"Prof is off the rails to bag Thomas"
There's no denying that female engines get short shrift: Shauna Wilton, whose 3-year-old daughter watches Thomas, isn't the first parent to suspect that the show is "peddling harmful right-wing rhetoric," says Fionola Meredith in the Irish Times. Many parents "reserve a special loathing for the little tooting train" because of the male-dominated world he lives in, and the TV show's relentless call for subservience to authority. "If your pre-schooler starts channeling the autocratic spirit of Sir Topham Hatt," Thomas' boss, "you know you've really got trouble."
"Thomas the not-so-innocuous engine"
Thomas may be a steam engine, but he's modernizing: "Yes, there is a lack of female characters and most have been relegated to secondary" roles, say the editors of Feministing. But the Thomas and Friends show underwent a "major overhaul" in 2004 to address its problems, and female characters such as Daisy and Mavis "have been proven to possess strong, charismatic personalities." The Thomas stories may be old-fashioned, but they're not particularly demeaning to women.

Arrived in corfu
Today we arrived in the Greek Island of Corfu. It was quite rocky over night and when we arrived in Corfu it was rainy and overcast. Today's tour included the highlights of Corfu and wine tasting.

I'm on my 3rd or 4th batch after taking a few years off. My first two went off without a hitch, but these last two have been throwing out some pretty nasty sulfur smells. At first I didn't worry and just assumed it was part of the fermentation process, but now I cracked open a bottle after 3 weeks and the smell is still there.
This was Ed's Haus, and my fermentation temps were pretty damn good (as close to 68 as possible). The sulfur smells really didnt start until day 10 or so. The only thing I can think of is that there might have been some lag time between when the yeast started to slow down, and that I was still keeping lots of frozen bottles around. So maybe the temp got down close to 60 which caused the yeast to get stressed?
I also use spring water (ozarka), S-05, no yeast nutrients.
I realize that all I can do for this batch is keep them out of the fridge for another week, and just slowing start putting them in the fridge a few at a time and see where it goes. However, I was wondering if anyone had anyone had any insight on how to keep this from happening?
The only real difference i can think of is that the first two were a little bit bigger beers (around 1.070, and these last two have been pretty small - Ed's Haus, and BM's Blonde).
Next to Brew - Who knows...something with EKG
Primary - April's Amber
Bottled - Bee Cave IPA
Bottled - Apfelwein
Bottled - Dirty Blonde (BM's Blonde w/ 2X hops)
Bottled - Ed's Haus
Bottled - Hop Dread Red V1.0 (Red IPA)
A sulphur smell is fairly common in the fermentation process, but usually dissipates fairly quickly. But it won't be able to do that in a bottle. How long did you wait before bottling? Do you know if the sulphur smell was there when you bottled?
It was in the fermenter for 3 weeks before I bottled. I really didn't notice it when I was bottling. I did notice it when I opened the fermenter a few days before to check the gravity.
Should I open up the primary right now on my current batch, and let it air out a little? Since all of the bubbling has stopped that sulfury smell is just sitting on top of the beer.
I know that it usually dissipates quickly, but in my case, the smell is coming in after most of the fermentation is complete, so there isn't much CO2 movement to carry the smell off of the beer.
i've never detected sulfur with S-05 and it seems odd that the smell develops after fermentation is complete. might be some other issue? i'll stay tuned.
I had a similar issue that I posted in another thread. I also have a sulfur smell that persists after the initial phases of fermentation (still there after nearly 3 weeks in primary). More experienced users have suggested that it's normal and will dissipate after a longer conditioning period.
Ya Im sure it will pass after letting it condition longer, but I would like to keep it from making it in to my beer to being with.
Hm. Well, I'd definitely give the current batch some time in the bottle. I expect the aroma will settle down eventually. The most obvious thing to do going forward is to use a different yeast strain, or maybe make starters. You could also warm the beer near the end of fermentation to help the yeast along with cleanup, and to promote offgassing. Even moving it to a warm place after fermentation subsides will scare out some CO2, and that may take the sulphur with it. Past that, just wait longer before bottling. It won't hurt anything.
Generally, in my experience, sulphur forms when there's a cold fermentation temperature. Lots of lagers throw out sulphur during fermentation. So yeah, if the temp dropped near the end of fermentation that could do it. You could try taking the fermenter out of the swamp cooler when activity slows; the higher temps near the end won't change the flavor much.
If you have kegging capability (I assume you don't if you're bottling), you could carbonate and purge a few times to scare it out.
OK, I assumed that colder would be better than being too warm (and I still think that is correct), but I guess I need to be more careful about it being too cold.
I'm going to try and air the one in the fermenter out a little bit, and probably dry hop with some cascade to try and mask the smell.
Yes, that is correct. But in some cases sulphur aromas are created at colder temperatures. It's not usually a huge issue, as it generally disperses with a little time, whereas the off-flavors of a hot fermentation don't - or do, but very slowly.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Riel House reprieve sought
Manitoba politicians seek to keep site open
MANITOBA'S politicians are begging Ottawa to reconsider a decision to close the historic Riel House.
Winnipeg city councillors said the humble wood-frame house in St. Vital is a critical part of the province's history, while Manitoba's francophone senator said closing Riel House will save Ottawa only a pittance while eroding Métis heritage in the province.
Due to budget cuts, Parks Canada will no longer help fund the St. Boniface Historical Society program that hires, trains and co-ordinates a small group of interpreters who don historical costumes and keep Riel House open to visitors four months a year.
The historical society, one of Manitoba's most senior Parks Canada officials and staff at Riel House all say the funding cut means the house will close its doors in September, its artifacts will be sent elsewhere and its programming will be cancelled.
Parks Canada has said it must focus resources on sites and periods with peak demand.
Parks Canada will still maintain the house and offer self-guided tours of the property.
Robert Allard, vice-president of L'Union nationale métisse Saint-Joseph, Manitoba's oldest Métis organization, has called the decision "a slap in the face."
St. Boniface Tory MP Shelly Glover, who represents the riding and is Métis, could not be reached for comment Monday.
But other Manitoba politicians condemned the decision to padlock the home where Louis Riel lay in state following his hanging in 1885.
Liberal Sen. Maria Chaput said Monday she hopes the decision isn't an attack on francophone heritage so much as poor planning.
"The minister has been asked to cut and maybe when they do it, they don't take the impact on francophone heritage into consideration," she said.
Chaput said Riel House fundraises to leverage cash from other sources, but it cannot do that without the small amount of help from Ottawa each year.
"It's $56,000 a year," Chaput said. "It is such a small thing."
St. Boniface Coun. Dan Vandal said Monday he was angry about the decision, and St. Vital Coun. Brian Mayes drafted a motion for Monday night's community committee meeting calling on Winnipeggers to write and call their MPs. The motion passed.
"It's a quiet little museum, a historical landmark, but it's still of historical significance," he said. "It's important to a lot of people. It's important to history."
Greg Thomas, a former archaeologist at Parks Canada, said the government may have thought it could get away with some of the cuts it's making to Parks Canada because many of the areas don't have advocates to plead their case to the public.
"They are playing with fire," he said. "It's a symbol for the Métis in Manitoba."

Easy Ways to Commit Health 'Suicide'
Committing health 'suicide' is like long and slow torture that fools the victim into believing that there's a way out, but there never really is. That's how important it is to look after your health. You may not know it, but some bad habits in your current lifestyle may lead you to commit health 'suicide' sooner or later. Here are just 6 of them, but common sense will tell you there are probably more.
Tomorrow is another day
Watch this video. It may inspire you to get out of the excuses, excuses, excuses mindset. Are you too old, too out of shape, too tired? Too busy? Well in the time you spend making up new excuses for yourself or to your personal trainer, you can probably squeeze in a workout. And we suggest you do just that, because there is no healthier habit than exercise.
I'll have the pizza please.
Do you often skip the salad for pizza or pasta? You may look ok, and feel ok right now, but you probably will suffer from essential vitamins and mineral deficiency over time. Salads and vegetables should be a big part of your healthy lifestyle.
Believe everything you read
The average consumer is bombarded with messages from all media everywhere she/he looks. You may be innocently switching channels when a new 'healthy' oil grabs your attention. But think about this. How many advertisers out there really tell you, forget all of this and go get some spinach or good old-fashioned carrots? Believing everything you read and hear, especially in the domain of health foods and diet fads, is definitely a great way to forego your health for quick and easy gains.
All work and no play
Not only does all work and no play make you a dull boy (or girl) but studies have also shown that it makes you counterproductive. Take a look at this article, citing all work and no play as a reason for divorce rates in the US for having tripled in the recent past. Also this study conducted by Air New Zealand on passengers flying between Auckland and Los Angeles. It said that that travelers were 82% more productive following a vacation, and the benefits didn't stop there: Study participants also reported getting more high-quality sleep following a vacation.
So it may be time to slow down, make a conscious effort to leave work early, and take vacations, in order to ensure that you are taking care of your health.
Same workout, different results?
If you've been exercising for years with the same routine and have suddenly seen weight gain in recent times, it may be because you are not doing enough to mix up your workouts. Mixing up your workouts is very important as over a period of time when your body is doing the same thing over and over, it comes up with its own mechanism of being more productive while exerting less, and still performing better and better. Mixing up your workouts will not only challenge your muscles and make some forgotten ones perform, but will also challenge your mind and will make you feel like wanting to do more.
Drink like a fish, eat like a bird.
This is a common mistake made in today's times. In order to save up on the calorie requirements for the day a lot of people (especially the women), eat next to nothing, getting a lot of their calories from alcohol. Most of them are probably skinny, and they probably get drunk faster than the rest, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that this eating pattern results in severe deficiencies in protein, vital vitamins, nutrients and fat, all of which can up the risk of osteoporosis and other diseases.
So here are some of the sure shot ways to compromise your health for short-term and irrelevant gains. Thinking of health in the long run means you have to start today to change your lifestyle to a healthy one.

Barbara Moody at the Cape Ann Museum
On May 12 at 2PM, Barbara Moody gave a presentation on "Finding Your Unique Voice as an Artist". She spoke to a fairly large audience about her own experience as an artist, accompanied by a slideshow illustrating her artistic journey through a wide variety of themes and styles in her work. She also showed a sort of time-lapse video of herself doing a charcoal painting; it was fascinating to watch the work evolve and change radically before our eyes!
Barbara Moody was invited as the Distinguished Artist/Teacher this year for the Goetemann Artist in Residency Program, Rocky Neck Art Colony. Click here for more details about her career and the Goetemann Artist in Residency Program.
Public School Children's Art at the Cape Ann Museum
As a part of the Gloucester Public Schools Arts Festival, the Cape Ann Museum has embraced an avalanche of visual arts produced by the school children. The work is displayed all over the museum's galleries, making an interesting juxtaposition with the work of professional artists.
Here's a slideshow with more photos:

Catherine Ryan submits-
Thank you again Sibley family! The recent GMG Hopper post of the Sibley family helping to identify the Rockaway Hotel in an Edward Hopper drawing generated more discoveries! For reference, here's the Hopper Rockaway image and a link to that previous GMG post-
Catherine Ryan confirms Rockaway Hotel as another Gloucester Edward Hopper match with help from the Sibley family
Posted on March 17, 2013 by Joey C
There are several Edward Hopper examples in the collection of The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston , including this beauty, the 1926 House by ' Squam River . Can you name its Gloucester location? There are notes indicating that it's in the general direction heading into Annisquam.
IT'S NOT. I admit to clinging to this suggested area with some unreasonable hope because of personal bias (my parents lived on Wheeler's Point for 30 years, and the charm and might of its full panoramic vista). I climbed around friend's properties, sought views from Pole Hill and multiple high vantage spots. But I could not connect that landscape anywhere to this Hopper image.
All it took was reading one tiny email description from a GMG reader – I didn't even need to visit the spot—to know immediately how right it was. I'm sure some other readers may know it, too.
Hint #1:
For one thing, many of these Gloucester Hoppers are views seen from a succession of magnificent granite sentinels. They are sites of great natural beauty conditioned geographically by glacial stone. This particular location has a massive sweep of boulder outcroppings.
Hint #2
These two houses in the Hopper drawing are still standing and exact.
Hint #3
If there is one Hopper, chances are there are others within close proximity. Here's two other Hopper drawings, all from the same general perch.
Who had the keen eyes? Thank you to Kathy and Jeff Weaver for identifying the sight line for the Gloucester Edward Hopper image, House by ' Squam River in the collection of the MFA. It's no surprise to me that artist Jeff Weaver—who has a history of Gloucester veduta painting himself, and who knows a great thing or two about extraordinary detail, composition, surface and color as bearer of light– would have a tip! You can see more of Jeff's work here http://www.jeffweaverfineart.com/. Gloucester creates many optimum sites for plein air study, and artists continue to evolve their work into unmissable interpretations of reality.
And here's the Answer:
You are looking past Centennial across the landscape of Newell Stadium and Gloucester High School . (Perhaps this might be a possible new funding source for Newell Stadium? This same stadium and field site is the landscape featured in an iconic Gloucester Edward Hopper work of art. )
There's another famous Gloucester artist with a link to this same location, and a nice connection for Gloucester high school, and our students to know. Thanks to Fred Buck for sharing this Strople photo from the collection of the Cape Ann Museum and their archives for the Gloucester HarborWalk's Virginia Lee Burton marker. It's a contemporaneous photograph of the GHS high school being built. The steam shovel was the model for Virginia Lee Burton's beloved Mary Ann from Mike Mulligan ©1939. Follow back the plume of smoke- "Mary Ann" is turned away from the viewer.
Meeting artists at the Cape Ann Museum
Last Saturday, the Cape Ann Museum had an event where several local artists demonstrated their work. Due to parish commitments, I arrived late and missed Michael Foley's demonstration of his stonework. You can find an interview with him here, and see his website here. Michael is both a skilled stoneworker and a talented musician. He will be giving another demonstration towards the end of this month, and I hope not to miss that one!
A few other artists were still doing their demonstrations when I arrived. It was great to talk with them and see their work!
Beth Williams works with glass, and has a studio and gallery practically next door to the museum:
Pamela Stratton, whose studio is in Rockport, creates beautiful mosaics:
Leslie Wind makes jewelry, as well as knitting and crocheting (even spinning her own yarn from wool):
Leslie's demonstration was interactive, helping visitors to make things like jewelry, bookmarks, and coffee stirrers out of thick wire (subsequently beaten flat). I tried my hand at it and came up with this… I'm not sure if it is a drink stirring stick or a bookmark, or something altogether different, but it was fun!
Cape Ann Artisans at 30
I stopped in the museum the other day, having heard great things about the art on display. I was not let down!
Click on the panoramas to see them in an immersive viewer:
In conjunction with the Cape Artisans at 30 Exhibit, the Museum is hosting a series of demonstration days. Members of the Artisans will demonstrate their various crafts throughout each scheduled day. This program is free with Museum admission.

Cape Ann Museum After Hours
Last Friday, the Cape Ann Museum had one of its "After Hours" events, featuring custom-made music installations in three galleries, refreshments from The Azorian restaurant, a raffle, and an artistic scavenger hunt! A good crowd showed up for the event.
There were lots of familiar faces in the crowd.
Rev. Bret Hays (left), rector of St. John's Episcopal Church in Gloucester, was chatting with CAM's Curatorial Assistant (and talented artist) Leon Doucette (on the right, with the beard, which – alas! – he has since shaved).
Nathan Cohen, who teaches music in Rockport public schools, designed (composed?) the music installation for Gabrielle Barzaghi's exhibit in one of the galleries. Gabrielle told me she loved what Nathan had put together, and posed for this photo with him and his magnificent beard:
I also ran into Ken Steiner, who I photographed at the museum before while he was playing the bass as part of a jazz trio in the museum courtyard. Here he is with Sue in front of some work by the Folly Cove Designers:
I only noticed afterwards that all three photos I picked to post had men with beards in them… Perhaps my own facial foliage adds a subconscious bias to my selection process?
Any event at the Cape Ann Museum is bound to be interesting, because of the amazing art collection and friendly staff. It's even better because of the great Cape Ann community that meets there to enjoy the art and each other's company.
"At the shrine of friendship never say die, let the wine of friendship never run dry" – Les Miserables (Victor Hugo). The wine didn't run dry last Friday night!
I hope someone ate the wine-soaked fruit afterwards…

The Infamous One Has The Answers To The Mysteries of The 19th Century Gloucester Windmill and It's Photographer (Natch)
hey joey – this is the photo al mentions in gordon thomas' 'wharf & fleet', shot by martha harvey (not hovey), one of gloucester's photographer legends. she grew up on prospect court as martha rogers, married the artist george harvey and they set up shop in annisquam on river road. she stood about 4'10" in her socks and wandered all over the cape with a mammoth box camera and a suitcase of unexposed glass plates, some of them 11×14! she deserves an honorary chair in the lumpers' lounge.
gordon thomas' caption for this photo reads: "Winter Quarters on Five Pound Island, 1893. This fine Martha Harvey shot shows several schooners hauled up for the winter on the eastern end of Five Pound Island. Many vessels for various reasons were hauled up during the winter months and as most of the wharves around the harbor were busy, vessels were laid up at the Island until spring. In this photo, the inner harbor is frozen solid. The schooner, bow on with flying jib boom, is the beautifully names 'Herald of the Morning,' owned by John Pew and built in 1875. The clipper bowed schooner to the right is the 'Columbia', built in 1891 for Parmenter and Co. (not to be confused with the racing 'Columbia' of 1923.)"
Cape Ann Museum has a large collection of Harvey plates, as does the Annisquam Historical. CAM's brilliant photo archivist has arranged a set of binders with inkjet prints from scans of the Harvey plates, available for browsing during regular library hours.

The infamous one is responding to yesterday's post from Al Bezanson-
19th Century Gloucester Windmills From Al Bezanson
Posted on December 5, 2012 by Joey C
This illustration appears in History of the town and city of Gloucester, Cape Ann Massachusetts, 1892, by James R. Pringle, who wrote,
"A sketch of the town in 1817 was drawn by Capt. John Beach, from a point in the harbor opposite Ten Pound island, off Pavilion Beach. Standing out prominently in the foreground was an eight-sided wooden windmill erected on the site now occupied by the Pavilion Hotel. This had been built in 1814 by Ignatius Webber, and its long arms, fitted with sails, made it a conspicuous object, and gave the town quite a foreign aspect. It was subsequently removed to a position on Fort Square, where it became a familiar landmark, being destroyed by fire a few years ago."
Another windmill, of more modern design, is prominent on Five Pound Island in an 1893 photograph by Martha Hovey, reproduced in Wharf and Fleet, by Gordon W. Thomas.

Cape Ann Museum Holiday Bazaar
One of our local treasures, the Cape Ann Museum, had their Holiday Bazaar.
The museum's gift shop was present, of course:
I really liked these "lynzariums":
"Each lynzarium is a uniquely designed piece of art containing found natural elements. prices start at $20 and a range of different shaped plants and vessels are used." They actually had some at lower prices too; I bought one! They are living plants, but need minimal care. And yes, if the name is supposed to be like Latin, the plural would be "lynzaria", not "lynzariums". Anyway, they are beautiful, alive, and easy to keep! They have great photos on their website.
Mimi (a gallery in Manchester) also had a table:
Among the other vendors, this display caught my attention:
There were other interesting things too, but a big crowd arrived and it got hard to take photos…

City Hall Weathervane in 1989 before She Was First Hoisted Atop City Hall From The Infamous Fred Buck
photo courtesy Cape Ann Museum
Fred writes-
joey – here's the schooner with a broken mast on top of city hall. the copper model was created by washburn on rt. 114 in 1989 and donated to the city by the cape ann savings bank. this pic was taken just before she was hoisted up to her place of honor. it is, of course, the elsie, built in 1910 by a.d. story in essex. gordon thomas, in fast and able, called her "one of the greatest." if anyone can help bring her down for repairs, step forward! a model of the elsie by cape ann master craftsman erik ronnberg is on display at the cape ann museum. it's a beautiful thing…

After Hours at the Cape Ann Museum
If you were not at the Cape Ann Museum Summer "After Hours" event last Thursday, August 16, you really missed out! This museum is one of the under-recognized jewels in Cape Ann's cultural crown.
There was great music, great food from Alchemy, live music/dance pieces featuring Sara Slifer, Kristen Miller, and 3rian King… and the personable staff and breathtaking art that you can always find at the Cape Ann Museum. Here are some photos.
Their next event is today at 3PM:
Elyssa East, author of Dogtown: Death and Enchantment in a New England Ghost Town, will discuss Hartley's sixteen-year relationship with Cape Ann and how it changed his life and work. $10 Museum members; $15 nonmembers.

Allen Estes at the Cape Ann Museum
This was a free concert at the Cape Ann Museum, last Friday at 4PM. It was originally planned to be outdoors, but due to the threat of rain, it was held indoors. It was great! At the end I bought one of the CDs he was selling: "Live Souls". His CDs can be bought on his website or at stores, such as Gloucester Music on eastern Main Street.

At first I was going to make this thread with the same old recruitment message:
<Time Well Wasted> is now recruiting! Casual, fun guild looking for helpful people who hate drama so much that they kill theater majors on sight. Must be a warm body to bolster our numbers, conversation and participation optional. To entice you, we have the same exact guild features — bank, hall, cloak/tabard/shield/standard/hat/fanny pack — that everyone else does! PST to join!
But that won't bring the kind of players I want to join my guild. So we'll try this on for size:
Lost? Confused? Lonely? Constipated? Twitterpated? Giggly? Hurt? Crazy? Boggled? Excitable? Bumfuzzled? Hungry? Kidnapped? Sweet-smelling? <Time Well Wasted>: The guild for every state of mind. PST for more info!
Yes, much better. Pst me in game for more info!
Okay, anybody have any suggestions for recruiting? I've been having a hell of time getting anyone to join a level 1 guild.
Only create a guild if you actually have a purpose or guild vision. You don't mention PvE, PvP or RP, so I have no idea who you are trying to cater to.
Well my purpose for starting the guild was to be a jack of all trades, master of none type. But the problem I'm seeing is there's not many people like me that like to do a little bit of everything but don't feel the need to be the best at Raiding, PvP, etc.
But I'm thinking I may have to bite the bullet and either deal with being the only person in the guild or sell it and join an established one.
There are guilds, like Guardians of the Light, that cater to that exact market. It's hard for a level 1 guild to compete against that. At a minimum, you should already have a core of active friends to help drive a new venture otherwise it is very likely doomed for failure.
Do what I did. Get an addon that auto recruits everyone in the galaxy over and over, and hopefully you'll get some people that'll stay long enough to give you some guild exp. People won't seriously join a guild unless it's at least level 5. Amazing game design at work here.
It is hard recruiting and runninga guild , and to try to tackle it by yourself is even more hard . I
Know you have to have something to offer, appeal to a certain demographic, schedule stuff, keep the guildies you have happy so that they stay and have a certain amount of trust as not to make them feel like just a number. I hate guilds that send you an automatic guild invite without a friendly advertising whisper first. It urks me when all of the tabs in the guild bank are on lock down . Keeping atleast one tab open for people to not feel like they are a theif right out of the gate helps. You need to make the guild feel like their home. Greet them, chat with them if they want to chat , help when you can, and just generally treat them as you desire to be treated ingame. Like attracts like. You can build a good guild on likeminded people but you can build a horrible one when you try to tak on more than you can chew. Goodluck !:-)
Threats of violence. We take these seriously and will alert the proper authorities.

Animation news: Batfink, Walter Tetley and Scrappy Doo
by Adam Finley, posted Mar 24th 2007 2:02PM
Guess what? Batfink is coming out on DVD in June. The set will include all one hundred episodes of the series.
Actually, screw Batfink. Here's even better news: every episode of The Ant and the Aardvark on DVD next month.
I'm going to make a confession: I actually like A Pup Named Scooby Doo better than the original Scooby Doo. I found the original rote and unimaginative, and while A Pup Named Scooby Doo wasn't exactly the greatest cartoon either, it had funky animation and a self-awareness I could really dig. As far as Scrappy Doo, the spunky little scamp many fans believe ruined the Scooby Doo series (I never thought he was that bad), you can read about his origins over on Mark Evanier's site.

When any of these actions occur, MAN TEARS are produced. Some women find this to be a turn off. When Man Tears are produced, some women may bottle them up, refrigerate them, and throw 'em back like a shot. After that, "it's on to the next one."
