Advice for Aspiring Artists Pt. 1So this has been on my mind a bit lately and I was just struck with the sudden urge to write about it. It's a bit long so I've broken it in to three parts, but if you're a beginning artist I would recommend reading through it, it might just get you aimed in the right direction. This started a couple days ago when I was trolling facebook and someone had posted some artwork, and one of the comments was something along the lines of "Nice! What tutorial did you use for this?" which prompted an immediate and violent facedesk on my part. I hear things like this all the time and would like to help dispel some myths about learning art; so after 9 years of drawing and 3 years of hardcore education and study, here's what I've learned about how to get better at art:WISDOM NUMBER ONE! Getting better demands consistent, hard work. That's it. That's the magical secret that great artists never seem to get to in their tutorials; it's that one pivotal thing that makes the difference between

Columbia Crest Merlot Two Vines
Columbia Crest - Washington State - United States - Columbia Valley
With its versatility and depth of fantastic fruity flavor, Merlot is one of the key grape varietals which has truly conquered the world of wines. Grown all over Europe, the Americas and elsewhere, Merlot grapes are distinguishable by their beautiful blue color and loose hanging bunches. They are a favorite with wineries due to their light tannin content and low levels of malic acid, meaning that Merlot wines are extremely drinkable and carry a depth of flavors which is at once fleshy and full, without being overpowering or challenging for the drinker. Merlots are often used for blending, as their roundedness and mellow nature is a perfect way to balance out more astringent varietals, leading to fuller, more complex and silky quality wines. Indeed, many of the finest wineries in the world in esteemed locations across countries such as France and Italy are famed for their habit of using ripened Merlot grapes to their full potential.
Since it began in the 1820s, wine-production in Washington state has gone from strength to strength, with many of the finest United States wines coming out over the past twenty years hailing from this region. Today, the state is the second largest US producer of wines, behind California, with over forty thousand acres under vine. The state itself is split into two distinct wine regions, separated by the Cascade Range, which casts an important rain shadow over much of the area. As such, the vast majority of vines are grown and cultivated in the dry, arid desert-like area in the eastern half of the state, with the western half producing less than one percent of the state's wines where it is considerably wetter. Washington state is famed for producing many of the most accessible wines of the country, with Merlot and Chardonnay varietal grapes leading the way, and much experimentation with other varietals characterizing the state's produce in the twenty-first century.
Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.

Read the list of names into an array of strings.
Randomly choose a number between 1 and 100. If the array-element="EMPTY", choose again. Otherwise the post (president, treasurer or secretary)and the associated name, THEN reset the name to "EMPTY".
Post your code and data if you need more help.
If the n
This is my code :
Public Class frmOffice
Private Sub btnDisplay_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDisplay.Click
Dim randomNum As New Random
Dim name1, name2, name3 As String
Dim sr As IO.StreamReader = IO.File.OpenText("MEMBERS.TXT")
name1 = CStr(sr.ReadLine)
name1 = CStr(txtMembers.Text)
name2 = CStr(sr.ReadLine)
name2 = CStr(txtMembers.Text)
name3 = CStr(sr.ReadLine)
name3 = CStr(txtMembers.Text)
txtMembers.Text = (" " &_ name1 & " " & name2_
& " " & name3)
End Sub
End Class
I've revised my code and am including it now. I've tried to debug it, but am stuck on trying to get it to run properly.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOffice.Click
'Randomlly select office members
Dim randomNum As New Random
Dim sr As IO.StreamReader = IO.File.OpenText("MEMBERS.TXT")
If randomNum.Next(0, 100) = 0 Then
txtMembers.Text = "President"
txtName.Text = CStr(CInt(txtName.Text + 1))
ElseIf randomNum.Next(1, 100) = 0 Then
txtMembers.Text = "Treasurer"
txtName.Text = CStr(CInt(txtName.Text + 1))
ElseIf randomNum.Next(2, 100) = 0 Then
txtMembers.Text = "Secretary"
txtName.Text = CStr(CInt(txtName.Text + 1))
End If
txtName.Text = President & " " & Treasurer & " " & Secretary " "
End Sub
End Class
Also I'm a little confused with your suggestion. Could you restate it a little differentlly for me? Thanks.
1. the source file does not compile because in the print statement, the titles President, ... have not been enclosed in double quotes to make a string. The compiler thinks that it is a variable name, and cannot resolve it.
There is also an extra double quote at the end.
2. The major problem is you have declared the IO.reader, but have not done anything to read the file. So the array would be still empty.
3. The third one is a little detail that has to be included, namely, once you have "elected" a member, you have to eliminate him/her from other posts. This can be done by printing the title and the name, and THEN changing the name to "EMPTY" or other sentinel of your choice. When you pick a name, you have to pick again if the name happens to be "EMPTY".
Give it a try and post your new code.
You're along the right track.

I'll bet that was the problem.

I think you are off base with your characterization of the GTI as a "special" car in this regard. This is not a Ferrari that Maranello will not let you own unless you can prove previous ownership....
Now you're just being stupid.
I agree and disagree with this. Yes, we as enthusiasts know that this is a problem part and change it regularly. But it's part of a larger paradigm problem; is maintenance like this at the...
I'm not aware of any design modification/update history on the VC. But that doesn't mean there hasn't been some.
My thinking here is "no".
In my case, the broken baffles caused the oil to go right into the intake manifold so I think the PCV valve itself would not have too much of a bearing.
Although, I cannot...
Given the problems that can be hidden inside, I'd shy away..... but that's just my opinion.

I second this. My GTI was eating 1 qt every 100 (yes 100) miles. It was the valve cover which was cracked all to hell and gone.

Senate Reconfirms Chai Feldblum to the EEOC
December 12, 2013 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Remington Gregg, HRC Legislative Counsel
The U.S. Senate today reconfirmed Chai Feldblum to serve for a second term as a commissioner on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
Appointments to the EEOC are critical to addressing workplace discrimination. The EEOC investigates complaints of workplace discrimination and retaliation, and it is empowered to file discrimination suits against employers on behalf of alleged victims and to adjudicate claims of discrimination brought against federal agencies.
Feldblum is exceptionally well qualified to serve as a commissioner on the EEOC. Prior to her appointment, she was a Professor of Law at Georgetown University Law Center. Commissioner Feldblum is a leader in the areas of disability rights, health care and LGBT policy, an expert on workplace policies and laws, and was a key drafter of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
As an openly lesbian woman, Commissioner Feldblum is one of many LGBT appointees in the Obama Administration. For more information on openly LGBT appointments, please visit the Presidential Appointment Project at http://www.victoryinstitute.org/presidential <./p>

Japanese Garden and Teahouse
Hello. I am a new member of Gardenweb and am also a photographer with a special interest in unique public gardens. One of my favorite is the Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, Maryland. I have photographed there for over 10 years. One of its unique aspects is a huge center expanse which is anchored on one end by a Japanese Teahouse and Garden. For the first time this year, once in the spring and once in the autumn, I have been able to capture this entire expanse, including the Teahouse,in panoramic photos. You can see them and other photos of the Brookside Gardens at http://irisposner.myphotographer.com
Cool .. I will check out your photo .. the only part of a japanese tea garden I have right now is the tea .. and a vacant sopt in the yard I hope to convert to a tea house sooner then later.
Good Day ...

Moving from xp to windows 7
I have my checklist almost complete. I would post it if I thought it might be helpful to someone but really it is so simple that it doesn't compare to some of the techy stuff posted here. I do like solutions that are simple so I am using the usb drive for the most part. I do have remaining questions though...
1. Is avast and malware the same type of software. Do I need just one or both of them. If so, do you have a preferred download site for both of them. I did find the download site in one of the posts regarding malware.
2. I saw the Classic Shell post but there was not a lot of detail posted about it. If I am going to windows 7 would it be helpful. What major effects should I anticipate. Can you provide a preferred download link if you like this program.
3. Retirement is five years out with perhaps a two year post retirement requirement. In reading through the posts I got the impression that windows 7 would be fine for that duration. If I am not correct then let me know.
- I read through the post on routers. On my home computer I am using the router that I bought from AT&T when I installed their wireless system. For the new computer using windows 7 what kind of router would be best. I don't do anything fancy just straight business functions with just one user.
Anyway, thanks
1. Avast is an anti virus program Malwarebytes is anti malware. Avast runs in real time meaning it checks on an ongoing basis. Malwarebytes runs when you decide to update and run it.
2. Bleepingcomputer Filehippo or Majorgeeks are all reliable sites to download from
Make sure you stay on the free links and when installing be certain to inspect each window carefully so as not to install third party things you do not need.
3. What has retirement got to do with anything? There are many of us here on this forum in our 70s and 80 and still going strong. Unless you are going fishing or golfing full time of course :~)
4. the current router should do you well. If you no longer have the CD that came with it simply visit the web site of the manufacturer.
I don't find Win 7 all that different from XP. A few things have been moved around, networking between PCs has been changed (and the setup is harder not easier in my view but it's in the name of better security), but otherwise......if you're looking for big changes visible to the user, you may be disappointed.
I believe Classic Shell is for Win 8. Is that what you're getting?
Your router doesn't care what OS is connecting to it, so long as the PC is passing info using protocols the router expects to see. Which it will, that's not something to be concerned with.
I always thought XP was my favorite OS until W 7 came out. With XP I often had to reboot to work with photos or convert music to MP3s. I never have to reboot W 7 because of low resources. It was a little frustrating to learn but googling answered every question I had about it. I missed the quick launch more than any of the changes, but found I could make a quick launch out of a folder and add it to the task bar with the "new toolbar" option. I did not like word as I had always had Works, it was the biggest adjustment I had but googling again solved the problem.
Classic Shell is for W 8 and I installed it on my laptop.
Malwarebytes runs when you decide to update and run it.
Not entirely accurate. There are versions of Malwarebytes...as in Malwarebytes Anti Malware Pro - v.188.8.131.524...that I can personally attest does the following quite efficiently for a one time charge of $24.95 when I purchased it in 2011:
"What it does for you
Detects and protects against malware in real-time
Blocks hacking and phishing attempts
Schedules automatic scanning
Offers three flexible scanning modes
How it works for you
Malicious website blocking
Real-time protection
Heuristic detection
Integrated Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit
Hyper Scan mode
Scan/Database update scheduler
Integrated Malwarebytes Chameleon
Advanced malware removal
Antivirus compatibility"

No need to pay for any Pro, versions for the average,. home user..Malewarebytes Free is execellent as well as AVG2014, which I prefer over Avast (your choice) and you do not need Shell Classic or Classic 8 which are both for W8 users, to make W8 look more like W7 with Start Menu and Desktop. And I have always used CNET for downloads with never a problem. Also if you worry about add ons with downloads then download Free unchecky it is great! takes care of unchecking for you, it's a quick simple download and works immediately. Link below
Here is a link that might be useful: unchecky
Classic Shell is also for Windows 7. I have it installed on my W-7 computer so that the startup and program list can be made to look like XP if you so desire. There are several different layouts to choose from, so suit yourself. I have found it to be very helpful.

Sorry Owbist. I wasn't trying to step on your toes. I didn't see the OPs request for a free protective program and I know that many users think that Malwarebytes has limitations. I was simply trying to point out that these days...they don't.
We all have our preferences...and for our own reasons. I wasn't trying to dissuade you from yours. Just trying to add a little more information to this thread.

Senior Manager Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6+ weeks – interviewed at Telephonics in July 2008.
The interview process was fairly standard. It started with several telephone discussions to establish that there was a good match. The telephone interview was followed by a full day interview that was conducted with various departments including human resources, operations, sales, engineering and finance. Again this was a fairly standard interview process.
- Telephonics is a conservative company and has many employees that have been employed twenty, thirty or more years. My personal employment history includes a number of jobs that were in the 2-year employment range. As such ther were many questions and concerns about my desire for long term employment. This was avalid concern and the line of questioning was appropriate to the situation. View Answer

How to describe The Heights? Yes, it's rigorous. Yes, it's got great athletics. Yes, we have a fantastic curriculum. Sure, our campus is lovely. But how do you really share with someone what sets us apart–in a way that doesn't sound cliché?
It can be hard, can't it?, to put into words the spirit and grit and fellowship and freedom of the School? It's not until you see the lower schooler on the sled, or the 7th grader in the Chapel, or the sophomores at lunch with an advisor, or the senior at Mass, or the alumni sharing a drink and trading Heights stories over a fire pit that you begin to understand the spirit of the place.
It's hard to put into a view book the small yet significant things that define our School. Have you noticed that there is a directory by the entrance to the Chapel? It's not there so teachers can call parents after Mass. It's there so that we can pray for your boys. Individually, and by name. How about the living room and advisory rooms at 7:30am, already bustling with conspiracies for the good between parents and teachers–working together to bring about the good of the boy? Weekly confession opportunities, daily Mass, acorn wars, Charlotte's Web, The Aeneid, Old School, sleds, freezing cold treks on the Appalachian Trail, spoiling the near perfect season of an unsuspecting opponent, and the list goes on. These things are elements of The Heights, but, again, they are difficult to capture in their totality.
Difficult, that is, unless you are a fourth grader, and you see things in a simpler, clearer light. Here is an original poem, by one of our own valley youngsters, describing The Heights. Not our college acceptance rate or average faculty tenure (both impressive), but the spirit, feel, and yes, smell, of a School that we all love. We are grateful to this young man for capturing so well the many things that we find only at The Heights–even those that we forget, don't notice, or take for granted.

You did it! A BIG CONGRATS on reaching that 1M mark and your first new red car, and joining the Million Points Club! Really awesome! Others ahead of you have retired, so there is lots of room at the 2M milestone! More than 90% of all the GBs that signed up over the past 13+ years will never make it to 1M points, most GBs quit before they even get close, there are just a little more than 10,196 GBs out of more than 8 million GBs that have gone on to 1M points! Can you believe that GBs are still active 13+ years and heading for the 5M milestone, and many GBs continue on before they retire between 3M and 4M! Keep going, don't stop now, don't retire like so many did when they reached their first red car! Keep leading the way for others to follow in GasBuddyland!

Adam Eaton knows he can't replace Paul Konerko. Certainly not in the home run department. Last year, the 5-foot-8 center fielder finished with a grand total of one.
The fans aren't the only ones giddy about the White Sox.
Adam Eaton already had big goals in mind for his stolen base output but the addition of Vince Coleman to the coaching staff has upped the ante.
Carlos Rodon will begin spring training as a starter, but the White Sox are far from settled on the left-hander's 2015 role.
It's not his job yet, but if Geovany Soto can prove he's healthy you can almost pencil him in as the backup catcher.

The Question - What Do You Wear Under A Kilt?This famous question is one which every boy and man who wears a kilt has to face. Many non kilt wearers also often ask this question to those of us who wear kilts.
In another posting kiltpants asked for information regarding types of underwear worn with the kilt and the following provides some details for the period from the 1940's through to the current day. I grew up in the 1950's and 1960's and first wore a kilt when I was about 9. I have worn kilts on a fairly regular basis since then and still do. I wore green or navy blue girls knickers on all occasions until I was around 17 and then started to wear nothing under my kilt for normal day to day wear, only wearing green or navy blue men's bikini briefs when I am at functions where I will be dancing and there is a high probability that my kilt will swing high enough to reveal what I am wearing under my kilt. Although I found the knickers comfortable to wear I find wearing nothing is even more comfortable. My notes include personal experiences and also those of family, friends and other acquaintances.
I have split my notes into two periods – firstly from the 1940's to the 1970's and secondly from the 1980's to the present time. I have also included some notes regarding dancers and the practice in the highland regiments later in these notes.
During the 1940's to the 1970's the vast majority of boys wore girls school knickers under their kilts. The most common colours worn were bottle green and navy blue but other colours including maroon, brown and grey were also worn. A small number of boys wore tartan undertrews (usually referred to as "trews") in a tartan which matched their kilt. By common consent these were not very comfortable. I knew two boys who were around the same age as myself who had been wearing green knickers for a few years and when they were around 12 or 13 started to wear trews instead of knickers. Both found the trews quite uncomfortable and after only a few months reverted to wearing green knickers again. There is fairly general agreement that white underwear is inappropriate for a kilt and only very rarely did any boys wear such underwear. When some boys reached the age of 13 to 15 some boys started to wear gym pants usually black, navy or green instead of knickers. A small number of boys wore nothing under their kilts. This was usually due to either family traditions or traditions within some Scottish private schools.
Men's coloured underwear only started to become readily available in the early to mid 1960's. As a result until this time as boys reached adult hood many continued to wear their knickers and indeed some still do to this day. After the mid 1960's some men started to wear normal men's briefs under their kilt, usually black, navy blue or green. On reaching adult hood some boys started to wear nothing under their kilts but they were in the minority.
During the period from the 1940's to the 1970's a very significant majority of men wore underwear with their kilts. In the early part of this period this was quite often trews as these were frequently worn in the 1930's and usually lasted for many years. Trews largely went out of fashion in the 1940's and were replaced by girls school knickers as the knickers were considerable cheaper, readily available in appropriate colours and most found them far more comfortable. As a result although it was quite common for men to be wearing trews into the 1950's when these wore out they were normally replaced with either bottle green or navy blue girls knickers. As noted above by the mid 1960's coloured men's underwear started to become readily available and many men progressively started to wear men's briefs (usually black, navy blue or green) instead of knickers. By the end of the 1970's a majority of men were still wearing underwear mainly men's briefs but also knickers. Trews appeared to have virtually disappeared by this time.
By the 1980's bikini style briefs had become available for boys which were similar in style to the girls knickers and also widely available in dark colours. These became the garment of choice for most boys instead of girls knickers. Also from this time the practice of girls wearing school knickers was on the wane and were opting for more fashionable garments. Boys no longer appeared to change to wearing gym pants as they grew up but continued wearing briefs until they reached adulthood.
Although a majority of men were still wearing underwear in 1980, since then it has become progressively more common practice for men to wear nothing under their kilts. Currently it would appear that a very significant majority choose to wear nothing under kilts. This appears to be particularly the practice of younger men with those under about 40 rarely wearing underwear with those primarily wearing underwear being those men who grew up in the 1940's to 1970's and continued to wear knickers or briefs as they entered adulthood. Boxer shorts are occasionally worn but many men consider these inappropriate for a kilt as the legs of the boxers could be visible with the swing of the kilt whereas with knickers or briefs the kilt has to swing quite highly before any underwear becomes visible.
Dancers wear coloured underwear, preferably toning with the colour of the kilt as this is part of the dress code laid down by the Scottish dance governing bodies. This has been the case of many years and before the early 1960's these would have been either green or navy blue girls knickers as before that time no coloured men's underwear was available. Since that time coloured men's underwear became more readily available and most dancers now wear black, navy blue or green men's briefs under their kilts. Some may still wear girls green or navy blue knickers.
My understanding regarding regimental regulations in the highland regiments is that these changed during the course of the 20th century. I have a friend who served in a highland regiment during the 1950s and the 1960s. During that time the regulations were very strict and required that no underwear be worn at all times other than when taking part in organised sports or highland dancing. Frequent inspections took place with solders having to walk over a mirror in the guard room or by a sergeant walking down the ranks with a small mirror attached on a cane to ensure that the regulations were being complied with and that they were correctly dressed (undressed). Any one found incorrectly dressed had to immediately remove the offending garment and was also put on a charge. I understand that officers also had to comply with the same regulations but it is not clear as to whether they were subject to inspections or not. In the early 1900's it appears that officers may have worn trews under their kilts but this practice appears to have stopped by the 1950's.
The current policy in the highland regiments regarding underwear with the kilt appears to be as follows:-
"Underwear will be worn when:
1. Taking part in organised sport
2. Highland dancing
3. At any time ladies are in the Mess (which would include mixed dancing)
At all other times it is discretionary."
It is not clear whose discretion – the wearer or by order. As a result of the change in regulations it appears that inspections have either been eliminated or only take place very occasionally.
I am not sure of the exact timing of the change but it appeared to be probably sometime during the 1970s. Despite the change in official regulations I understand that currently virtually all soldiers in the highland regiments continue the long standing practice of not wearing underwear with the kilt unless they are taking part in the activities noted above. This does not surprise me in the slightest as traditions in the highland regiments are maintained wherever possible and also, there is a fairly general consensus that a very significant majority of Scots currently choose to wear nothing under their kilts for normal day to day wear and only wear underwear when taking part in potential revealing occasions such as dancing and taking part in sports such as Highland Games.
I understand that it was normal practice in some Scottish private schools with Combined Cadet Forces to adopt the military practice of the time with regard to underwear with the kilt when in uniform. I have heard it that Queen Victoria School follows the official regulations for under-kilt wear (or not). As this is a boarding school for the children of Service personnel I would not be surprised if this was the practice. I note from another article that Captaindog went to this school and perhaps he can confirm if indeed this is the practice.
My answer for the question: "what are you wearing under your kilt" is , "Socks and shoes lassie".
I'll have to remember that
mahsud

Sorry but obviously I failed to make myself clear in this particular topic - it was the history/origins of the kilt which interested me (and presumably trewscot too) - what was (or wasn't) worn underneath was merely an incidental minor sideline or by-product of this research, as some old documents/reports when describing Highlanders' garb also commented on what was - or wasn't - underneath, and the current amicable "disagreement" between trewscot and myself is more to do with our personal views on the reliability/verifiabilty and interpretation of our respective sources of information rather than anything else.

It is easy to get sidetracked! And have enjoyed the insight you have provided it to the history of the kilt.
And look forward to further insights based on your research
While in tune with tartanpleat's view which I quote
"However, I am sure that this somewhat esoteric discussion is a complete bore to just about everyone else, and as you say perhaps it is best that we go forward in friendly disagreement and simply enjoy each other's (and everyone else's) contributions, whether serious or frivolous!' ,
I find it interesting and amusing that people are still prepared to spend time, could I say "researching" this particular topic.
Given the many diverse topics which appear to gain funding in the name of academic research, do you think the question posed and which continues to generate interest could make a successful application for such funding?
As someone who has spent a lifetime in academic research and the need to source research funding, the short answer is "no"!
Appreciate the definitive answer. Is the proposal template burned in your consciousness?
I note that you say that the "vast majority" of the QVS dancers were wearing dark trunks under their kilts. While this may be true in 2012, when you look at the Sword Dance of 2008 at the Tatoo it is evident that a number of the QVS boys appear to be dancing using their "discression" and there are a number of times when I am sure their bare backsides are visible in the film clip.
I suspect that the QVS dancers had not a care in the world on the esplanade. I guess that they had not considered modern hand held high definition low light cameras offering low level closeup shots until the 2008 tattoo tape was analysed by freeze frame techniques. Previously long dark shots from the stands above. I suspect the 2012 observations are nothing to do with school rules, RSCDS etiquette or military tradition. I suspect the order came from the BBC!
I cannot think that the BBC would mind about kilts flying to reveal the back view. In the UK this would not be a problem. The boys could have been wearing strings which would mean that they were decent should a front shot be visible.
I think they should be allowed to wear whatever they like and the school should not dictate. Like all kilties it should be personal choice.
Since the dancing display at the Tattoo was a joint one between QVS and the Scots College, Melbourne, perhaps we should give the kids from QVS the benefit of any doubt and say that must have been one of the Aussie dancers!
I have to say I'm with macdi on this one. I think the style - yes to briefs/knickers/short trunks etc and no to boxer shorts or any other "leggy" garment - is far more important than the colour.
I just said I had a tendency to write like that - I didn't say this was written in that style!
Firstly let me apologise - I realise I have an unfortunate tendency to write in a slightly lecturing/hectoring manner on this topic, and rather than have the desired effect of stimulating discussion regrettably it can unintentionally offend or upset others, and if it has had this effect on you then I do apologise - that was not my intention.
As for "still more to find" - no, I don't think so - I gave up researching this subject some years ago after becoming a complete bore on the topic and I have no wish to start again! Notwithstanding this, it is rather difficult to recognise the sources of your "evidence" since you haven't actually supplied any indication as to what the "evidence" is, let alone where it came from.
The other problem I found when researching this topic is that information and opinions change over time as new discoveries are made and/or old documents etc are re-interpreted or re-translated - for example there are modern scholars who now disagree with some of the opinions/conclusions in H. F. McClintock's Old Highland Dress and Tartans, yet this was once widely regarded as being almost the "bible" on the subject.
With regard to public kilt removal, without any substantive evidence I have to say I remain unconvinced that this is anything other than individual idiosyncracies.
However, I am sure that this somewhat esoteric discussion is a complete bore to just about everyone else, and as you say perhaps it is best that we go forward in friendly disagreement and simply enjoy each other's (and everyone else's) contributions, whether serious or frivolous!
Always enjoy tartanpleats, your erudite responses.
"I have an unfortunate tendency to write in a slightly lecturing/hectoring manner "
Something we agree on!
(Sorry, couldn't resist!)
It's always good when people are prepared to challenge and debate. It makes the various groups we subscribe to much more interesting.
I believe that we need to move on from what used to be worn under the kilt to what is worn in the present day. We want to encourage men, of all ages, to wear their kilts whenever possible. This has to start with boys and encourage regular wear as teenagers, young men and onwards.
If underwear is chosen, for either activity or comfort, then the modern fabrics are much better than those of earlier decades. As we all know, the kilt is a very warm article of clothing so we all need to accept short pants of whatever colour can be worn.
Reference to dark colours for pants under a kilt is no longer necessary. Anyone who has seen a kilt lift in the wind - or seen a sitting kiltie - will know that you see legs then the pants - black, green navy or whatever. The pants would just as well be red, orange, stripes or whatever. Sometimes it is better to wear a brighter colour since it does reduce people trying to take a look. If you are wearing underwear, they look, see, smile then move on. If you are going "true" then you need to ensure that your activity and sitting position is appropriate.
However, the colour is not important. Comfort and giving confidence is key.
I only wore bottle green pants until I was about 4 or 5. After that time it was just normal coloured briefs. At about age 10 I didn't like the colour of my pants being announced to the class at school so started wearing patterns/stripes. If wearing underwear with my kilt, I have grown up wearing whatever colour of pants meets my mood at the time.
From experience I have found that the colours, although bright, can stop people peering and staring at your knees until you move.
I do wear dark kilts and yes I have worn red, orange and green (as long as my kilt does have the colours within the tartan) I did even wear yellow to go with the yellow line in the kilt but this was not the most sensible colour for under a kilt since it does really stand out against the dark.
Since at some point when wearing your kilt your under kilt atire will be seen, I have found that the fashion colours are just as good and the comments from the onlookers are the same!
As you say, "facts are chiels that winna ding" – but in order to become a fact there needs to be substantive supporting evidence preferably cross-referenced to more than one source otherwise it remains simply as a personal view/opinion. As I said previously elsewhere, I spent several years researching/reading everything I could find on the origins/history of the kilt as a hobby (sad, isn't it!), and one of the conclusions I drew was that actually there is almost a complete lack of information on the origins of the kilt and no-one really knows how it came about, and your suggestion of bedding becoming a combination of bedding and clothing is but one possibility – but why pick on circa 1580 for this development?
As for the name femoralia simplicissima, while my Latin isn't all that good femoralia does indeed mean a form of breeches (a literal translation is "between the femurs"), but it was used by the early Romans purely as the name for a form of underpants – to be worn under the short tunic worn by actors, dancers and gladiators and so on as a modesty covering for their private parts liable to be seen during dancing, exercises etc – does that sound familiar? Simplicissima I have only ever seen used in botanical terms, and I suspect someone has put the two Latin words together in an attempt to give the perception of authenticity!
As for the concept of the acceptability of removing the kilt, I can recollect only ever reading one account of this from I think sometime in the 1600's, where the writer was in an inn/tavern and was shocked when several Highlanders took off their kilts, but this was apparently due purely to the heat in the room and nothing to do with "accepted" or normal practice. As for modern times ie up to the 1950's, you will doubtless recollect that we (and others) discussed this at some length in another forum and I don't propose going over all that again apart from simply re-stating that absolutely no-one else had heard of this practice – including those who were around in the 1940's and 50's.
As ever, I stand to be corrected if there is indeed evidence of the early development of the kilt and of such a practice!
"everything I could find"
I hope you will not think me rude if I say that you still have more to find - you do not seem even to recognise the sources (yes, plural) of my evidence. Just keep looking - it's not sad - if you're still stuck in six months, I will reveal all.
As for public kilt removal (inevitably anecdotal), we have previously agreed that different communities operate in different ways and so I might have accepted that this was just a Northeast habit except for a conversation with Hugh MacPherson's widow many years ago that confirmed the same practice in Edinburgh (no less!)
All of my contributions to this site have been intended as helpful (all right, occasionally frivolous) as I am sure have yours and we may just have to go forward in sincere but friendly disagreement. You and I and all of us just want the best for the future of our National Dress.
Sorry, but as far as the views expressed in your first paragraph are concerned I think you may be in a minority of one!
I knew you would say that! I don't think there are many "views", just facts and "facts are chiels ...". Even if I were in a minority of one, it wouldn't bother me - on this site, we're all minorities in a minority.
Just crazy eccentrics, all of us. Maybe one day....
May I reiterate a pedantic quibble of mine. We do not wear "underwear" with a kilt because it was originally an OVERgarment. It was the Highlander's bedding and was only wrapped around the shoulders as an extra protection in cold weather or if the wearer expected to sleep away from home. Around 1580 someone decided that it would be easier to carry if half was stuffed through a waist belt thus covering the short trews ("femoralia simplicissima") that were the normal garment of that time - thus we have the old form of the kilt. Of course changes came with the passage of years but the acceptance of being quite decently dressed even if the kilt were removed was still around until the 1950s (however hard to believe some of you may find this). Whatever the recognised disadvantages of the old tartan undertrews they were quite acceptable as "public" wear (and, of course, were so standard at that time that there was no such thing as "the question").
Then along came all sorts of garments that would generally be regarded as "underwear" and therefore of ribald interest and moreover made the kilt just that little nearer to a sk-rt. Of course, there are diehards who go with gym/swimming/athletic shorts to try to circumvent this. And there are those for whom wearing no undergarment at all indicates manliness (and a variety of other positive feelings).
Now, as we have all said, we want to encourage the wearing of the kilt and there is always going to be a tussle between "tradition" (whatever that is) and fashion (which is of the moment) and in addition there is the activity for which the kilt is being worn. For me, the emphasis is always on dignity, and yet, probably through our own fault, our national dress has the world over become the object of "titter, titter, I wonder...." Maybe you like that - maybe you don't want to be dignified - lighten up, you say - maybe Rob Roy would have worn Spongebob Squarepants boxers if they'd been around. Maybe he would - I'm sure he liked to "go with the flow".
Am in total agreement kiltiman about encouraging wear of the kilt, and as to underwear that is wholly a matter of personal preference.
I agree with Macdi and Kiltie that the important thing here is to encourage the wearing of the kilt on a more regular basis. I still wear navy blue or green school gym knickers with mine but also over the years have worn black or dark blue mens slip briefs and also white ones. It was just the fact that some of us, as has been frequently said here, were brought up as boys in kilts wearing navy blue or bottle green knickers as the were discreet and available so I think that stuck for me. However its a fact that mens underwear and boys has changed and its a case of what they want to wear nowadays. My wife used to tut tut when I wore white pants and sat down in the house in my kilt and she saw my pants. Nowadays even she accepts that its only a pair of pants after all and kilts are kilts. By the nature of the garment there will always be a situation where someone will see whats under it.
Lets just encourage the wearing of the kilt and lets face it we dont go around intentionally flashing our underwear.
"My wife used to tut tut"
I think wives go in a circle of nagging, bless them. I'm sure the matter will be addressed again in future. Why on earth did a staunch kiltie like yourself ever buy white panties, anyway?
I didnt buy them and they wernt 'panties'. They were mens slip briefs and were handy when I put the kilt on. Not my first choice but as has been said here if they are under the kilt then what does it matter. I wear them to keep me decent and also for comfort. Thanks for the 'staunch kiltie' tag though, its nice to hear that and its true, I am.
Sorry, kiltieman - I was teasing you. If your wife bought them, then she has no right to complain. And I'm certainly not "tut, tut"-ing!
" if they are under the kilt then what does it matter" seems to imply nobody will know.
"I wear them to keep me decent" seems to imply that they will.
As a full-time kiltie, I just never buy white undergarments of any variety.
In response to trewscot and kiltie, if we wish youngsters to wear the kilt as an everyday garment then we need to accept that they will wear their normal underwear. While the style may be suggested we need to accept that the colours are quite vivid at present.
I do not see anything wrong with colours. If you see black briefs or trunks you see the underwear. It might as well be red, blue, turquoise, yellow or whatever colour. Hopefully any colour will go with the tartan.
Many boys wear trunks with stripes and patterns. We should encourage the wearing of the kilt and encourage the confidence of the youngsters to wear their kilts for general wear as well as dancing.
I quite agree. That was the point I was trying to make. We just go with the flow!
highlander22 in his original post asks about under-kilt wear at Queen Victoria School. I just came across this

http://www.flickr.com/photos/mandyerush/7768989460/

which suggests that even the dancers have a very "wear-whatever-you-like" approach. I suspect that this is a girl but the boys are probably just as bad. Surprising that the dancing teacher did not give some firm guidance on suitability! The non-dancing pupils are quite likely to be even less traditionally attired.
"dont suppose boy( or girl?) was fussed or expected to be seen on flickr.com"
Any young person knows how ubiquitous phone cameras are especially for a dancing display at the Tattoo! Remembering how my daughter's dancing teacher insisted on SOBHD rules it seems surprising that a pseudo-army demonstration team would be "laissez faire". The girl (they seem rather feminine shorts) may have done it for a dare.
I had heard that 30/40 years ago, the boys at QVS were issued with navy undertrews as part of their uniform but this may be another myth. I certainly have the impression that, in days gone by, private boarding schools used to stipulate specific under-kilt wear as part of uniform requirements. I'm all in favour of personal choice but I only ask that the kilt be worn with dignity even by youngsters.
I agree with Kiltie.
With video and still cameras on mobile phones being so discrete these days, any of us who were a kilt must expect that pictures are taken.
From my experience the picture is taken using the light settings on the phone to achieve a good clear picture. It can then be shown round the group with the person taking the picture. The entire group then see and can pass comments. Unfortunately there is usually nothing you can do about it.
Therefore I can imagine that kilt wearers may wish to go with the times and discard the black, green and navy in favour of modern colours. At least they wear the kilt with pride.
If one wished to "go with the times" one would wear jeans and a baseball cap!
One wears with what one is most comfortable, Jenniifer, depending on the occasion.
Even men don't HAVE TO wear nothing. My impression is that very few women follow this practice - dark coloured briefs (especially Highland dancers) or athletic shorts (especially in pipe bands) are the usual.
Thanks for the information. However, there is one question unanswered: how about girls and ladies, I wonder whether they also have to wear nothing underneath their kilts in Scotland?
Tbest of my knowledge Jennifer, girls here who wear kilts will mostly wear black briefs or indeed briefs to match the main kilt colour under their kilts. Highland dancers normally wear black briefs or gym knickers which usually stretch and allow for movement while remaining comfortable and girls in pipe bands wear mainly the same. I suppose the choice is the same for girls and women as it is for men. Wear some sort of pants if you want or nothing if you prefer though I think the girls go for the'safe' option ie briefs.
As to underwear you will find quite a variety of suggestions and opinions as to individuals' preferences on EP.
Hope you enjoy the kilt wearing expereince and are encouraged to repeat it.
This weekend I will be wearing a Kilt for the first time, at a wedding of 2 Scottish friends. The groom is also wearing the Kilt and have been informed that he will not be wearing underwear. They have said it is up to me (I'm a non Scot). But I have made the effort of hiring a Kilt and all the gear and am looking forward to be part of something special.
I hope you will enjoy your kilted experience - maybe you will even become a "Kilt Konvert".
Let us also hope that none of the Scots present embarass their National Dress by any unseemly behaviour. YOUR choice of undergarment - or none - is entirely up to you.
I'd be more embarrased about showing knickers and slip than my attributes. My missus wouldn't be amused either.
Ahhh but the folks that 'insist' on seeing will be the most embarassed.
I make sure my secret is safer than the government looking after state secrets.
I like to wear pink silk french knickers and matching half slip very comfortable.
My experience is that about half of the men in the group I belong to will wear black underwear and a half slip in the winter time. During the summer is a different story, depending on where you are and what activities are going on.
nylonslipmaniac

There are indeed some who wear a half-slip under their kilts under the pretext of calling it a kilt liner - if you go to the forum and chat board for this group you'll find the discussions there under the heading of "kilt liner".
Does anyone wear a slip under their kilt ?
When I finally summoned up the courage to buy a kilt a number of years ago, I decided that, out of respect to my Scottish heritage, I should at least try wearing it in the so-called traditional manner, without anything underneath, and see how I felt about it.

The first time I wore it in public was for a low-level walk in the Highlands, on a delightfully fine day, with just a gentle breeze blowing. True to my resolution, after changing in the car at the start of the walk, just before setting out, and after some hesitation, I rather furtively slipped off my underpants and tucked them in my sporran, just in case! I had worn the kilt indoors in private of course, but this was the first time outside, in public. Off I went, and I found that I immediately loved the feel of wearing the kilt outside in the fresh air. I loved the feeling of freedom, the comfort of the kilt itself, and the feel of the cool breeze on my skin. I found it an absolute delight to walk in. At the same time I confess that I felt extremely self-conscious. I was undoubtedly attracting attention from passers by, and initially I felt rather embarrassed as we exchanged greetings. I felt very aware that beneath the kilt I was completely bare from waist to knee. Nevertheless, in only a moderate breeze, the kilt stayed easily in place, and I found that the reaction to it was almost always positive, several folk saying how it was good to see the tartan. Had the reaction been otherwise, I think I could have given up, but I found that as I carried on walking I gradually grew in confidence, and felt increasingly proud to be wearing my kilt and celebrating my heritage. I felt all the prouder that I was wearing it in the traditional manner, and began to rather enjoy the feeling of daring. I did not entirely lose the feeling of self-consciousness that first day, but when I got back to the car, I was on something of a high. Not only had I had an exhilarating walk through some beautiful scenery, but I was extremely proud to have tried out my kilt. I felt several inches taller…..and my pants were still in my sporran!

Since then I have never looked back. I wear my kilt whenever conditions allow when I have the opportunity to walk in the Highlands. Since that first day, I have never worn anything underneath, as I have come to love the feeling of freedom, I am proud to respect tradition, and I rather enjoy the curiosity of the ladies! I am not, however, a traditional purist. I respect others' decision to wear something underneath if they wish. I'm happy to accept that, outside the military, civvies can really do as they please. I just prefer to go without. Further, I do believe that this places one under the obligation to sit down with care! Similarly, I don't usually take the kilt on the high tops, because the wind is generally too strong there. I don't think it's sensible to wear the kilt without underwear when it's likely to be up about your ears, and I'd rather not wear it at all, in circumstances where I can't sensibly wear it traditionally. In short, I don't think that irresponsible exposure is particularly clever, and deliberate exposure is not clever at all. Nevertheless, I think that when wearing the kilt without underwear, one has to accept that accidental exposure will, from time to time occur. As long as this is accidental, no-one should get uptight about it, and, as a kilt-wearer, one just has to "grin and bare it"!

I have found only one downside to wearing nothing under the kilt on a longish walk, and that is chafing in the groin area. It seems to depend on the heat of the day, and sometimes the wind, but in any case, after suffering a couple of times, I have found that applying a little Vaseline to the area before setting off works for me, and I have had little trouble since. This may be TMI for some readers, but experience tells me it can be a real consideration!

But that's not a good note to end on. Suffice to say, I love my kilt, I love to wear it traditionally, and it makes me proud of my Scottish blood!
In most circumstances, as I would under trousers so trunks or breifs (not boxers though, they hang too low) But then I don't give a hoot about a gust of wind or how I sit even though I wouldn't purposely flash. A bit like little girls at school - who cares if anyone notices? Sometimes regimental if I'm sure no kids will be around me. I love wearing the kilt casually and will continue to do so.

At the age of 5 I wore knickers under my kilt. Thereafter it was normal boys coloured briefs. These were either single or multi coloured. Since the pants under my kilt were similar to the pants worn by other boys there was never any difficulties. Obviously people wanted to see up the kilt but on seeing your briefs they satisfied their curiosity.

Brassknickers mentions the Marilyn Monroe situation. I believe that most of us, who wear the kilt regularly, have had a moment like this and I agree that you need just to laugh at the situation. There is nothing worse than a man flapping at his lifting kilt to try and hide what is underneath. There is so much material that hiding is impossible. If you are going bare then you just place you hand at the front to maintain your modesty but let the rest go. As he says you should be man enough to not care if your under-kilt wear is seen.
I agree with macdi - nothing more to add other than i would rather in a munroe moment that my bare bum was on show than some coloured knickers! Pure scots pride!
I agree totally! :o)

Potential New Race Idea
After looking through the choice of races Star Trek Online has to offer players at the moment (Alien, Caitian etc) I have been working on creating a fan made race based on the rabbits of Watership Down, of which I call them Lapinean which is an extension on Lapine, the rabbit language. I think they have the potential to be played as Federation and Klingon characters, and they would make good tactical and engineering officers.
The Star Trek Online Race Traits I have chosen are Acute Senses, Natural Immunities and Sure-Footed.
um Rabbits are not in Star trek online they may have been as pets but as far as i know there have not been any rabbits in the shows.
Presumably you're using an Alien and using the costume editor to make it look somewhat rabbit like. Have you had any success? What did you come up with?
No reason to disallow rabbits as even a sperm whale can build a starship and explore the outer regions of space. Good job the Borg never met them, unless the B'gers are actually Borg whale probe ships!
@Stonefyre I did try to make one with the Alien in the costume editor, but I did not like the result.
Oh, and dont forget to check this one out :D:

This project has led to the formation of a horizontal network of EU
participants, all with access to biocontainment facilities suitable for holding
macaques infected with pathogens and supporting infrastructure needed to
evaluate vaccines effectively. A proof of principle demonstration of an
effective coordinated multi-centre vaccine study is being executed, using
recombinant vectors to develop a safe and effective AIDS vaccine.
Progress in the development of novel vaccines against many of the infectious
diseases that pose a threat to human health, for example HIV, HCV, TB, and
Malaria, is restricted by the availability of suitable challenge models, and
access to the biocontainment facilities and infrastructure necessary for working
with animals infected with human pathogens safely. This problem is most acute
when simian models are needed. Within Europe, there are few institutes with
adequate facilities, thus restricting opportunities for large multi-variate
evaluation of vaccines in a readily comparable manner. No single European
country has the required infrastructure. Only a network can therefore generate
the critical mass of human and structural resources.
AIDS is a major threat to global human health. According to a WHO estimate,
more than 50 million people have been infected globally and over 16 000 new HIV
infections occur daily. There is, therefore, a critical need for an effective
vaccine against HIV. A major hurdle is the failure to identify correlates of
immune protection against AIDS. Thus, there is a need for animal challenge
models to evaluate the efficacy as well as the immunogenicity of candidate
vaccines. Experimental infection of macaques with simian immunodeficiency virus
(SIV) is believed to represent the best model of infection and disease for HIV
and AIDS in man. However, the worldwide availability of the facilities and
resources for handling infected macaques with SIV under appropriate
biocontainment is limiting the size and scope of the preclinical studies using
this model.
Recombinant vector vaccines expressing HIV-1 proteins are believed currently
to provide the best approach to develop a safe and effective AIDS vaccine.
However, experiments using a single recombinant vector often failed to elicit
strong serological and cellular immune responses, even after multiple
immunisations. The central objective of this proposal is, therefore, to identify
which combination of recombinant vaccine vectors are most immunogenic and confer
the best protection against viral challenge.
To address this challenge for AIDS vaccine development, AIDS research
facilities in Europe with biocontainment facilities suitable for holding
SIV-infected macaques are conducting an AIDS vaccine experiment in macaque
monkeys, using as vaccine vectors modified vaccinia virus Ankara, Semliki Forest
virus and plasmid DNA. These constructs express SIVgag/pol, env, tat, rev, and
nef genes or irrelevant genes as control. The immunised animals will be
challenged mucosally with a pathogenic SIV. During the immunisation phase and
thereafter, blood samples from these animals will be analysed quantitatively for
viral-specific antibodies and cellular immune responses, as well as viral
replication and concentration after challenge exposure. At the end of the
experiment, data analysis conducted by each partner will be shared among all
participants and compared. This will allow an in-depth analysis of the group
data. The completion of this study will demonstrate an effective working
partnership between the participants.
The results will demonstrate which combination of vector immunisation is best
suited for the further development of an HIV/AIDS vaccine.
The project already demonstrates that multi-centre controlled vaccine studies
can be conducted through a network of European facilities housing non-human
primates under appropriate biosafety conditions. The results will contribute to
the development of a vaccine applicable for the immune prevention of the HIV
infection and AIDS in man.

Tuesdays 9.30pm
Charlie Hunnam has captured the attention of audiences and critics in both the United Kingdom and Hollywood with his versatility, talent and charisma.
Following the fourth season of Sons Of Anarchy, Charlie starred in Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim. During the previous hiatus, Hunnam starred in Frankie Go Boom, alongside Chris O'Dowd, Lizzie Caplan and Ron Perlman. He also starred in The Ledge with Liv Tyler, Patrick Wilson, and Terrence Howard last year. Before that, Hunnam appeared with Elijah Wood in the independent film Green Street Hooligans about the violent world of soccer hooliganism. He then starred opposite Clive Owen in Alfonso Cuaron's apocalyptic drama Children Of Men.
Hunnam made his big screen debut in the thriller Abandon and continued to gain attention for his performance in the title role of the big screen adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel Nicholas Nickleby, which received a Golden Globe® nomination for Best Picture. He next appeared as Bosie in Cold Mountain for director Anthony Minghella, based on the best selling novel by Charles Frazier.
On the small screen, Hunnam received audience and critical acclaim for his role in the hit British drama Queer as Folk, and the series Undeclared for Judd Apatow early on in his career.
In addition to his acting talents, Hunnam completed his first screenplay, entitled Vlad.
