Encaustic: Paint and Collage in Wax
Visual design and painting techniques such as color, composition, and form are taught through the medium of encaustic painting. Encaustic painting uses hot wax and is applied in layers to create landscapes, portraits, or abstract images. Students can paint and collage – combining papers, fabric, photographs, leaves and found objects – to make original and expressive work. Encaustic painting is completely unique, producing depth and luminosity that other mediums cannot achieve. Using the skills learned in this course, students enhance their ability to create imaginative work and to further tap into their creative abilities.

The plan coold be implemented over a two year petiad. The majority o^ the audience - seemed to be comprised of Steele School residents. Their primary complaint was the dosing of their nei^borhood school. Other complaints voiced were the lack of any finasdal savings, the hazards and lack of educational benefits of a full-time kindergarten, the elimination of any elementary school between Seaman Avenue and Meadow School and the impact on real estate values. The Board of Education and its president Lorraine Detler. appeared to make every effort to carefuUy explain the history, of reorganization as weU as the present status of the district, since many of the residents in 'attendahce seemed unfamiliar with the reorganization process which has been oo-going in Baldwin daring the last 10 years.

"If the employees were given a special permit area." he said, "we coul^. alleviate s<5me of the congestion" in the customers'lots. Ever since the MaU was constructed, the merchants have been asking for more'parking; pointing odt that on-street parking B'as sacrificed for the Mall. T^ey have particularly complained of a shonage of parking during their peak seasons, when — they say — most of their business is done. Grebinar made tn-o suggestions.' Dodd Junior High School teachers, he proposed.could park diagonally on Pine Street and the merchants could then use the tot behind the Salvation Army, whcrtf long-term parking is permitted. Grebinar suggested a paid permit parking field for the merchants. Presently, he explained the teachers arrive for work at the school earlier than roetchants and employees arrive to open the stores and the teachers use up all the long-term parking in the lot. , Gtebiiur's second suggestion for merchant/employee parking Vas in the Majestic Chevrolet company truck parking lot oj\ Heniy Street and Merrick Road. He proposed the village lease that lot from Majestic. White said he doesn't believe in reserved parking for merchanis or their employees or any other group of employees.-Noting that Grebinar had spoken to him pre- City and White answeied llai llie taxpayers provided for their employees when they paid for ttie patting fields around VHbge Hall.

Grebinar and merchants Bin ^tiSfn Piyck of Barlsdi's Children's Store,. reiterated to the Village Board that the merchants want the '-'worst parking for themselves and their emplojees ...the best foUheir customers." Ira Btyck also noted that there used to be sufficient parking for merchants, at the triangular-shaped lot at Henry Street and Sunrise Highway. The parking field, which used to ^e a muni-dpal one, had.-meters, which tootSIH for ten hours. The property was part of a "trade" deal, which acquired the car waih property, then owned by Majestic Chevrolet, for the village.

Bennington School Board puts building plans on hold, considers budget changesBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | March 08,2013BENNINGTON After their proposed budget was defeated on Tuesday, members of the Bennington School Board voted on Wednesday to put a proposed building project on hold and made plans to try to reduce the 19 percent increase contained in the budget but received a warning that will probably mean cutting staff.
About 55 percent of the voters rejected the Bennington School District budget in a 1,095-915 vote. The proposed budget was $13,518,802, an increase of 19 percent over this years budget of $11,360,113.
After a reorganization, which saw Kenneth Swierad and George Sleeman return to their roles on the board as chairman and vice-chairman respectively, Sleeman made a motion to put a proposed building project on hold.
For the past few months, School Board members have considered asking voters to approve a bond that would allow them to build an addition to Bennington Elementary School. The additional space would handle a bubble of higher enrollment thats expected to pass through the school district.
The School Board decided in January not to put the bond on the ballot for the school meeting but still had tentative plans to call for a special meeting on the bond issue sometime this year. However, the rest of the board supported Sleemans motion to temporarily put the building project on hold.
There are other possibilities for expanding classroom space that the School Board is considering including renting space from a sports center that used to be the school districts fourth elementary school, Catamount Elementary. The sports center is directly across the street from Bennington Elementary.
When discussion turned to the budget, Sleeman said he thought the School Board should ask if the assessment from the Southwest Vermont Supervisory Union could be reduced but said he didnt think the School Board members should hold our breath.
Richard Pembroke, the chief financial officer of the supervisory union, told the board that about 80 percent of the assessment from the supervisory union was costs for special education. Pembroke said that cutting from the administrative costs in the assessment would only make a small change in the percentage of budget increase.
The supervisory union creates its own budget which is approved by the Southwest Vermont Supervisory Union School Board and then split among its six districts, in the towns of Bennington, North Bennington, Pownal, Shaftsbury and Woodford and the Mount Anthony Union school district which includes all five towns.
Voters dont approve the supervisory union budget.
According to Pembroke, some of the increase in the budget is due to state and federal education funding.
Pembroke said the School Board members should be aware that making big cuts would almost certainly involve cutting staff to keep the percentage of increase less than 10 percent. Board members said they believed they would need to reconsider their policy designed to keep class sizes small.
The Bennington School Board has scheduled a special meeting at 6 p.m. March 18 at the supervisory union central office to discuss the budget. Pembroke said he would make a presentation to the board on cuts they could make to keep the increase from the current years budget below 10 percent.
According to Vermont statute, the School Board must, to call for another budget vote, warn the vote, schedule a public informational meeting at least five days after the notice and schedule a vote at least seven days after the notice.

Most designers acknowledge that their clients are taking more chances than ever when it comes to choosing color palettes for their homes. Yet, despite branching out of their normal comfort zones, homeowners still pick hues for both exteriors and interiors that are reflective of their regional surroundings.
"When it comes to regional color schemes, colors are driven by three factors: architecture, nature and the people who enrich the culture," says Lauren Makk, a designer on The Learning Channel's Trading Spaces. "That trilogy really drives the way that colors and our lifestyles come together."
We take a look at these factors and how they inspire the use of color in various regions throughout the United States.
New England
"In New England, you see a lot of deeper hues, like dark grays and greens, reds and navies," Makk says. "These colors are more historical and all very beautiful. They develop a story about America's history and what we're familiar with." Such colors are in line with the region's Colonial, Georgian and Federal-style buildings.
In addition to the historical influences, New Englanders often rely on the gray tint of the Atlantic Ocean, the lush greenery in the summertime, and colorful wildflowers (which include deep purples, icy blues and cheery yellows) as both dominant and complementary colors in their homes.
The Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern Coast
With its mix of Tudor, Arts and Crafts, and Colonial architecture, the Mid-Atlantic offers a color palette similar to New England but with more energy. "The colors there are very lively and a little sweeter," Makk says. One such spirited color is sage – likely a nod to the hue of the Atlantic in this part of the United States. The varied tones of the area's river rock also make subtle appearances in homes here.
Further south in Florida, the predominant Mediterranean- and Spanish-style houses sport red clay-toned roofs and cream-colored stucco on the exterior, but in the interiors, homeowners are reaching beyond the corals and pastels so often associated with the state. Instead, consumers are picking out the bright blues of the ocean, tropical greens and sunny yellows. Jewel tones are also making their way into more Florida residences. One theory for the shift to a brighter palette: Retirees and boomers with second homes in the state are more willing to experiment with color than they were in previous homes; plus, they want spaces that vary radically in look from the homes they have lived in for 30-plus years. In southeastern Florida, Makk notes that the popular Art Deco style still uses whites and grays with touches of peach.
The South
Like New England, the South is rich in history; the region's past, along with its charming architecture and colorful culture, undoubtedly influences homeowners' color choices. "In the South, you have the antebellum style," Makk says of the region's pre-Civil War grand plantations. "A lot of the homes here are brick, too. You have a lot of rich blues and gray blues, oxbloods, yellow ochres, and light greens."
The Midwest
In a region with severe winters that keep people housebound for many months, Midwesterners seek colors that reflect warmth and invitation. Beiges, taupes and creams have been popular traditional choices, but those colors are evolving into richer, deeper hues. Earth tones – including wheat, gold-tinged browns and soft greens – complement the Midwest's diverse architectural styles, such as Prairie School, Farmhouse, and Arts and Crafts bungalows. The region's Scandinavian roots also play a role in many of the current loft-style spaces in major metropolitan areas by using bright, bold primary colors.
The Western Mountains
The Western mountains of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Montana conjure images of the rugged cowboy-rancher surrounded by tall, rocky hills and the dust of the earth. The colors homeowners choose in this area reflect that legend and landscape. "The culture is so rich," Makk says. "The people are inspired by their landscape and history. They use yellows, ochres, rich sienna browns, denims, rust, golds and bright greens."
The Southwest
"Being so immersed in Hispanic and Native American culture, the Southwest is very drawn to the traditional color schemes and certain palettes [of these civilizations]," Makk says. As such, the beiges, red-oranges and terra cottas affiliated with the adobe style continue to infuse the homes of the Southwest. Haciendas or Santa Fe-style homes, along with Old World-influenced architecture, borrow a similar color palette. Homeowners in New Mexico, Arizona and the deserts of California are enhancing their homes by incorporating chocolate browns, blazing reds, yellows and coppers. Still, Makk notes, "The color palettes may enrich and enliven, but the people here never deviate too far from the culture."
Southern California, meanwhile, has established its own eclectic blend of color. "Our environment is very bright and tropical," says Makk, who lives in Los Angeles. Among the diverse cultures reflected in Southern California's architecture, one in particular dominates the scene. "[The area] is driven by a lot of Spanish influence, and that's a lively culture evident in the houses here," says Makk, citing tangerines, marigolds, pinks and lime greens as bold yet common color selections.
The Pacific Northwest
Makk describes the typical color palette for the Pacific Northwest as monochromatic. "[Homeowners] use lots of grays, deep blues and whites – sort of a fisherman's color scheme," she says. Still, many people in this region jettison what they see as pallid tones in favor of tans, golds and reds. Such use of color helps counter the rainy season. Inspired by the verdant forests that the Pacific Ocean affords this region, consumers also incorporate various shades of green into their homes.
The northwest coast's architecture, a happy blend of Asian and organic themes, often features light-toned woods and large windows – design elements that are complementary to both bold and subtle colors.

Top Gear magazine in 1999
All the covers and quotes from another year in the life of Top Gear mag
Posted: 20 Sep 2013
Clarkson in 1999: "In six days, God created Heaven and Earth and then, just to keep his oppo amused, he let Beelzebub do Birmingham.''
Three cars from 1999
Rover 75
"The styling will woo foreigners looking for a taste of Britain, and over 55 members of your local Conservative association, it is not snazzy enough for the trendy and hip. Ozwald Boateng would never, ever drive a Rover 75. That wouldn't really matter if it were a nice car. But it is not. I only drove the thing for 70 miles and than was enough to confirm that the wipers are noisy, the driving position is odd, there's not much space in the back, there's a jerkiness in the driveline that appears every time you change gear, and the steering is preposterous." March 1999
Honda S2000
"It's a spine-tingling thrill to see the rev-counter lights flick all the way round to 9,000. Using the close-geared box, you can either keep the engine howling away at the top end or, if you want to relax a little, take advantage of the wide swathes of power to eat B-road miles with scarcely more than the occasional shift. The S2000 is s thoroughly practical sports car after the fashion of the MX-5, MGF and BMW Z3. And what's more, it happens to drive the pants of all of them." June 1999
Pagani Zonda
"What Pagani has endeavored to create here, and I would say he has succeeded, is a car with at least as much visual impact and performance as a Diablo, but with the civility and, indeed, comfort of a 550 Maranello. No, the Zonda wouldn't be as practical day-to-day as a 550; there's precious little luggage space, there's not an airbag in sight and I wouldn't want to park one in a tight space, but it'll turn heads in a way no 550 can." September 1999
The best-selling car of 1999: Ford Focus
The best-selling song of 1999: Baby One More Time - Britney Spears
And elsewhere in the world in 1998: Nelson Mandela steps down as President of South Africa, the Euro is established on January 1, and the Izmit Earthquake kills more than 17,000 in Turkey.

David Corn is Mother Jones' Washington bureau chief. Until 2007, he was Washington editor of The Nation.
He has written for the Washington Post, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, Boston Globe, Newsday, Harper's, The New Republic, Mother Jones, Washington Monthly, LA Weekly, the Village Voice, Slate, Salon, TomPaine.com, Alternet, and many other publications.
He is the co-author (with Michael Isikoff) of Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War (Crown, 2006).
His book, The Lies of George W. Bush: Mastering the Politics of Deception (Crown, 2003) was a New York Times bestseller. The Los Angeles Times said, "David Corn's The Lies of George W. Bush is as hard-hitting an attack as has been leveled against the current president. The Washington Post called it "a fierce polemic...a serious case....[that] ought to be in voters' minds when they cast their ballots. A painstaking indictment."
His first novel, Deep Background, a political thriller, was published by St. Martin's Press in 1999. The Washington Post said it is "brimming with gusto....As clean and steely as an icy Pinot Grigio....[An] exceptional thriller." The Los Angeles Times called it "a slaughterhouse scorcher of a book you don't want to put down" and named it one of the best novels of the year. The New York Times said, "You can either read now or wait to see the movie....Crowded with fictional twists and revelations." The Chicago Tribune noted, "This dark, impressive political thriller...is a top-notch piece of fiction, thoughtful and compelling." PBS anchor Jim Lehrer observed that Deep Background is "a Washington novel with everything. It's a page-turning thriller from first word to last...that brings some of the worst parts of Washington vividly alive."
Corn was a contributor to Unusual Suspects, an anthology of mystery and crime fiction (Vintage/Black Lizard, 1996). His short story "My Murder" was nominated for a 1997 Edgar Allan Poe Award by the Mystery Writers of America. The story was republished in The Year's 25 Finest Crime and Mystery Stories (Carroll & Graf, 1997).
He is the author of the biography Blond Ghost: Ted Shackley and the CIA's Crusades (Simon & Schuster, 1994). The Washington Monthly called Blond Ghost "an amazing compendium of CIA fact and lore." The Washington Post noted that this biography "deserves a space on that small shelf of worthwhile books about the agency." The New York Times termed it "a scorchingly critical account of an enigmatic figure who for two decades ran some of the agency's most important, and most controversial, covert operations."
Corn has long been a commentator on television and radio. He is a regular panelist on the weekly television show, Eye On Washington. He has appeared on The O'Reilly Factor, Hannity and Colmes, On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, Crossfire, The Capital Gang, Fox News Sunday, Washington Week in Review, The McLaughlin Group, Hardball, C-SPAN's Washington Journal, and many other shows. He is a regular on NPR's The Diane Rehm Show and To The Point and has contributed commentary to NPR, BBC Radio, and CBC Radio. He has been a guest on scores of call-in radio programs.
Corn is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Brown University.
"Stay to the end…and read everything": Reporting the Iran/Contra scandal taught me everything I needed to know about covering Washington.
How the deal at the Copenhagen climate change summit came about--and why it may not be a real deal.
He has a strong claim on the neoconservative heart, and if he ends up in the White House, the moribund neocons will rise again.
His new memoir proves how hard it is to tell the truth about oneself, but how easy it is to blame others.
Does Congress have the strength to prevent Bush from going to war with Iran?
The Libby trial exposed the truth about who really pulls the strings in the Bush White House.
In the case against Scooter Libby, the Iraq War is not on trial. But the integrity of the White House is.
Expect a flurry of hearings on Iraq when the new Democrat-controlled Congress convenes. But no real action from lawmakers or the President is likely to be taken.
Before Bob Gates's confirmation as CIA chief in 1991, the man now designated as Bush's Secretary of Defense was charged with forcing intelligence reports to conform to a tough anti-Soviet line.
The election is over; the war is not. And George W. Bush is suddenly in one tight corner.

Bills wife goes out to buy a car. The salesman says, I recommend this one.
She asks why. The salesman says, Because it has hydraulic backspin brakes. Get in and Ill show you.
He drives the car 100 miles and hour toward a brick wall, and when he's 100 feet away he jams on the brakes. They stop a foot from the wall.
The salesman says, Do you smell that? She takes a sniff and says, Uh-huh. The salesman says proudly, That's hydraulic backspin brakes.
That night when Bill gets home, his wife says, Dear, I bought a car.
Bill asks, How did you decide which kind to buy? She says, I bought one with hydraulic backspin brakes. Get in and Ill show you.
They get in, and she drives 100 miles an hour toward the same brick wall. When they are 100 feet away from it she jams on the brakes, and they stop one foot from the wall.
She looks over at her husband and says. Do you smell that?
Bill says, I ought to! I'm sitting in it.

Blade's Experience: Extreme Rules 2013 Predictions
by, 04-20-2013 at 06:58 PM (5358 Views)
Hello everyone and welcome to another blogoside of Blade's Experience. After an predicable Wrestlemania and a unthinkable post Wrestlemania Raw, it is the season of Extreme Rules 2013 predictions. Before I start the blog, I have not posted a blog since December. I promise to post blogs every week and that's a promise I will keep. Many people on this site do not like grammar Nazi, in my blogs they are allowed because they allow my blogs to get more better when time passes by. Please comment below and tell me what you want my next blog to be about.
Extreme Rules 2013
May 19th 2013
Big Show vs Randy Orton: Tables Match
Big Show and Randy Orton have had a heated rivalry ever since Wrestlemania 29. Ever since the following PPV, both superstars have been wanting to prove a point which being to kick the living hell out of each other. This match is the opener of the night to get the crowd excited for the show and start off to a good note. Big Show should win this bout because he needs momentum building his monster rise once again on Smackdown. I could see Randy Orton making the switch from Smackdown to Raw and finally winning the WWE championship! Big Show will win this match with Randy Orton attempting a RKO until Show reverses it into a choke slam which is not banned according to WWE matches.
Winner: Big Show
Nikki Bella vs Katilyn
This match will be for the Divas championship as Bella has pinned Katilyn on following Raw's. This match would be a bathroom break for the majority of WWE fans including myself but the ending of this match would come with a unsuccessful attempt of twin power from Nikki Bella to Brie Bella. It would lead to a spear from Katilyn and a successful defense.
Winner: Katilyn
Sheamus vs. Mark Henry: Backstage Brawl Match
This match has been boling ever since the Raw after Wrestlemania. This two monsters have a bone to pick with each other and a brawl which is suitable backstage. Tables, Chairs, etc. are used to dish out the pin between these two men. Sheamus would attempt a brogue kick which is reversed into a WSM through a table. Henry would assure his dominance throughout the WWE and ladies & Gentlemen that is what he does!
Winner: Mark Henry
Dolph Ziggler (c) vs. Jack Swagger vs. Alberto Del Rio: WHC Match
This match will witness countless sneak attacks and brutal war between these three men. Countless Kendo sticks will be used to bruise the body of ADR, Chairs to mess up the face of Ziggler and belts whipped at Swagger. This match will come to an end when Ziggler attempts a Zig Zag on ADR which leads to a stalemate until Swagger hits ADR with a Kendo stick and from behind Big E Langston with a Big Ending to Swagger. Ziggler capabilities and successful retains his WHC. Hopefully Ziggler holds on to the championship for a long period of time!
Winner: Dolph Ziggler
Team Hell No(c) vs Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns: Tag Team Championship
The Shield has been successful for countless number of weeks. They knocked off the likes of Corey Graves on NXT and The Undertaker on Smackdown. As much as I want to see the Team Hell No retain the championship chances are The Shield will win the gold. Like it or not the WWE universe is forced to "Believe in The Shield!"
Winner(s): The Shield (New WWE tag team championship)
Brock Lesnar vs. HHH: Steel Cage
As much as I hate to say it. Brock Lesnar needs to win this match. Even through he should off proven his destruction on the 'E he does not have any dominance. A win over the kings of kings would establish Brock Lesnar dominance and make him hungry for WWE gold. To Build more of a monster off of Lesnar, he needs to walk out the steel cage door to insert his dominance.
Winner: Brock Lesnar
John Cena(c) vs. Ryback: WWE championship
This is the main event of the evening. To make this match exciting, weapons and superstars need to be involved. John Cena should take critical damage throughout the match, being triple Power bombed through tables. John Cena should win this match with a AA through a table.
Winner: John Cena

Loudon, NH (SportsNetwork.com) - Six-time and defending Sprint Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson had his race end early at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday when he suffered a blown tire and then crashed into the wall.
Johnson, who started this 301-lap race in second, experienced a flat left-rear tire on lap 7, forcing him to pit and dropping him one lap behind in 42nd.
Then on lap 14, Johnson's left-rear tire blew, sending him hard into the wall along the backstretch. He was not injured during the incident.
"The first [flat tire] I was able to drive the car all the way through turns 1 and 2 and knew I had a flat and then came in," Johnson said. "The other one just blew on the straight as soon as I hit the brakes. I'm not sure what caused it. I'm sure there will be a lot of speculation, and I'm sure finger pointing back to our team.
"But we've seen some issues here, especially with that particular tire the last couple of days. We'll try to learn more about it."
Other drivers have experienced tires problems throughout the weekend at this flat 1.058-mile track. Joey Logano had failure with his left-rear tire and crashed into the wall during Friday's practice, forcing him to a backup car. Aric Almirola, who won his first career Sprint Cup race last week at Daytona, also had to switch to a backup car for this event when he wrecked due to a tire issue in Saturday's practice.
"It's just a bummer," Johnson added. "I'm expecting people to quickly point back at the team and say it's our fault. I guess if it is, then we'll accept it. But the car was fast, and we had a great day in qualifying [on Friday]. It's just unfortunate that we're out early."
Johnson also had his race at Daytona come to an end early when he was involved in a 16-car crash. He finished 42nd there. With a series-leading three wins this season, Johnson is assured of making this year's Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. He came to New Hampshire third in the point standings.

I thought I'd make a thread for talking about various Non TP Literature as an alternative to the Monthly Discworld discussion and seeing if it worked.
What better place to start than with the works of the great Dr Seuss. An American man who lived for 87% of the 20th Century. He wrote many influential pieces one of which I consider to be one of the greatest books of all time "The Butter Battle Book".
The first time I was acquainted with the readings of Dr Seuss was when I was doing children's book reviews and he had just published "The Lorax". Dr Seuss wrote about Patriotism, economics, the environment and war in a way children could understand, adults could learn from and did it all in his own rhyming and style.
Would anyone care to argue, elaborate, blow my theory sky high or even kindly tell me to refrain from talking?

Untitled (Vitrines)
Composed of thirty-three glass cases, Terence Koh's mixed-media sculpture at first glance might be mistaken for a display in a museum of natural history. Most of the vitrines contain one or two whitewashed objects— organic matter, mock artifacts, and seemingly random knickknacks—that are tokens from his childhood, friends, and lovers, and from flea markets. Koh celebrates the ephemeral nature of the work by embracing the effects of entropy, including the eventual decay of the slowly molding replica of his head. Taken together, the capsules stand almost as a shrine preserving meaningful relics from various chapters of the artist's life. Infamous for his sexually explicit performances, photographs, and Web site, Koh first gained attention as his online alter ego, "asianpunkboy." Untitled (Vitrines) provides a quiet, introspective counterpoint to this flamboyant public persona.

A 2009 graduate of Port St. Joe High School, Heather Brinkmeier is headed to Sydney, Australia to compete in the Down Under Cup Challenge as part of the Australia International Softball Challenge in July.
"I had to read it twice," said Brinkmeier of the invitation she received in September of last year.
Brinkmeier will fly to Los Angeles on July 20 and take a connecting flight to Sydney the following day.
She'll have two days in Australia to sight-see before jumping into a daily practice regimen with a team made up of complete strangers.
"It's exciting and nerve-wracking," she said of playing such a high-profile tournament alongside girls she's never met. "I'm going to work my butt off."
She'll have plenty of time to amp herself to meet her new teammates on the 15-hour flight.
USA Athletes International works to bring the world's athletes together though sports and education and chose 14 females from across the United States to gather as a team halfway across the globe to compete against players from Australia, Italy and Prague.
The daughter of Steve and Christine, Brinkmeier was recommended to the team by her former coaches as well as those from opposing teams. Candidates also had to be in good academic standing.
In high school, Brinkmeier was a four-year letter winner for Coach Jim Belin and helped the Lady Tiger Sharks to a runner-up finish in the state Class 2A Tournament her senior year when PSJ finished 27-3.
She was third-team All-State as a senior outfielder and had a home run and three RBIs in the regional title game; two hits and an RBI in the state semifinals.
She hit .284 with five doubles and two triples as a junior when she helped lead the Lady Tiger Sharks to a regional championship.
While in high school she also played volleyball and basketball and was a member of the cheerleading squad.
Further, Brinkmeier played travel ball for Team North Florida with Coach Coy Adkins, an assistant coach at University of Florida and now a coach at the University of Arkansas from 2006-08. The team placed 30th out of 165 teams at the 2006 nationals in Seattle. In 2007 the team placed third in the World Series and second in 2008.
She was a member of the Panama City Lady Lightning with Coach Bubba Hill from 2006-10. The team won a USFA World Series in 2006.
In junior college Brinkmeier played two seasons for head Coach Tommy McDaniel at Lurleen B. Wallace Community College in Andalusia, Ala., where she hit over .300 both years with a combined 14 home runs and 55 RBIs.
She transferred to Florida Southern College in Lakeland but had a medical redshirt for the 2011-12 softball seasons due to a labrum tear in her right shoulder.
"It's doing great," said Brinkmeier of the injury,
She said she feels back to 100 percent.
In her junior year she played all 49 games at first base and had a fielding percentage of .978 while rehabilitating.
Though Brinkmeier is "beyond excited" for the Australian experience, she's unsure what competition she may face down under.
"When softball was an Olympic sport, Australia had one of the top teams," added Brinkmeier.
Brinkmeier hopes that the experience will lead to additional travel opportunities or as a springboard into the coaching world.
"It's enough for me just to go there and compete," said Brinkmeier. "Even if we lose, it's about the experience…but I'm going to win."
In addition to representing the United States and Port St. Joe at the tournament, she's also excited to get some relaxation in during the international trip.
"According to the itinerary, they'll teach us how to surf during the day and we'll get to tour the zoo," Brinkmeier said.
On June 22, a fundraiser will be held for Brinkmeier at the Rustic Sands campground from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. CT featuring food, drinks, raffles and live music. Funds raised will go toward her flight to Los Angeles.

Featuring the best aquatic technology, the Aqua Sphere Vista Blue Lens offers a perfect fit and eliminates glare. It's extremely comfortable and has a low profile, reducing drag in the water.

These are the only goggles that fit my face, and I don't have a problem with water leaking into my goggles. I've tried many other styles and only the Vista seem to work. I swim in open water and indoor pools and I like the blue lense. It is pretty versatile to work in both settings without me having to pack two goggles, tinted and clear. A pair of goggles usually lasts me about 4-6 months swimming about 2-3 times a week, before they start to loose their suction and start leaking.

Your comment has been posted.
For years I've struggled to find the perfect fit with goggles. When fitted adequately to prevent excess water from entering, they were painfully tight. If that wasn't enough, I then had the tell-tale indentation for hours after completing my swim. This Aqua Sphere lense not only fits perfectly, but is the most comfortable I've ever used. The panoramic vision they offer is exceptional and no more "raccoon" eyes!
I rated these goggles four stars because for me, they just don't leak - at all. I didn't give them five stars because they DO fog up and also, over time they start cracking in the silicone area around the goggle. After trying other goggles, I won't buy any others. The fogging up I can deal with - the leaking I can't stand.
The outer edges of these goggles are large enough that the pressure on the skin around the eyes is not as great as with smaller goggles. I don't have to deal with "goggle eyes" after I swim. The seal could be better. I usually have to stop every 20 minutes to get a better seal because it loosens up when I swim. Love the strap and easiness of adjustments. This brand is one of the best I've tried.
I like the goggles, I am worried though that the band will break, it doesn't seem too strong, has broken before on me, on another pair
Comfortable, but probably not the best fit for females of small stature. Even though I made them as tight as possible (which defeats the purpose of purchasing a goggle that does not cause "goggle eyes") I could not get a sufficient seal to prevent leaking. This goggle offers great visibility, and the blue tint was perfect, but the water just flowed into both lens with every turn of the head.
Very comfortable goggles with a good seal. Good wide field of vision. Not as much pressure around the eyes as with competition-type goggles. Good for every day training. I swim in an outdoor pool, generally with lots of sunshine, so wish the tint was darker.
Love these goggles for the tender eye area ~ I don't need/want any emphasis on my wrinkling eyes....and the raccoon indentations of regular goggles are awful! These solve that problem!!! They're a little tricky to get suction, but I've realized you have to have a dry face and dry the inside of the goggles and they'll stick fine, keeping out the water. After about 20 laps they get foggy so just try to have a little face towel near you to clear the fog and wipe away the water to re-suction them to your face.
Aqua Sphere Vista performs well. Wore it for a recent HIM 70.3 during the train up and the race in open water. Good field of vision, seal is watertight. Overall a great product and a superb alternative to traditional goggles.
i returned the goggles becuase i thought they were more tinted for swimming in the ocean

Aqua Sphere™ was established in the mid-1990s and has improved the world of eye protection for swimmers. With passion and experience Aqua Sphere created the Seal, the first swim mask featuring 180° vision, and the Kaiman, the first panoramic goggle. All items are made exclusively at their facility in Genoa, Italy. They pride themselves on being a manufacturer, not just a design company using outside suppliers - thus allowing them to internally create true innovations and monitor all processes. Aqua Sphere's design philosophy is to introduce new solutions for the experienced swimmer to be comfortable in the water.

text: Good fight whoever wins. Miller has a name and a good game not #1 though. This will either boost Melendez up as a true champ or set up Miller for his title shot. Not sure what they'ed do with Miller if he won as would he go back to the UFC. That would take a lot away from SF if the UFC wants to keep it going. Thats the question I'm not sure of.

Like a captured soldier under interrogation, a car like this needs no other introduction other than name, rank, and serial number.
"Name?" "Bel Air."
"Rank?" "Dual-quad 409."
"Serial Number?" "1962."
If cars could talk, I bet this one has a story to tell. After all, any car that is the subject of a chart-smashing hit song is an interesting one. When the Beach Boys sang about "a four-speed, dual-quad, Positraction 409," they must have been drooling over something like Mike Cortina's '62 409-powered Bel Air out of Connecticut.
"The car was built in the Van Nuys, California plant, and according to California DMV records, never left California until I purchased it," Mike says. "I had always wanted a '62 bubble top car, and I came across this one on the Internet on the first day the ad had appeared. I talked with the owner, we struck a deal, and I made arrangements to have the car shipped to me. Unfortunately, the car arrived on my wife's 30th birthday, so needless to say, I was in the doghouse for a while."
Okay, so maybe the car wasn't the birthday present wife Tina had envisioned, but regardless, the vintage Chevrolet made its way into the Cortina home and Mike's heart. "I was more than pleased when the car arrived, and it was in fabulous shape in and out with hardly any rust on the body."
Mike wasn't one to leave the new family member alone, though, and the process of performing the frame-off restoration began. "The interior of the car had already been replaced with a brand new CARS, Inc. interior, so I disassembled it, began the frame-off resto, and began to search for all the needed NOS parts."
The final result is a stunning time warp back to '62, from the bubble top to the four-speed gearbox, thumping solid-lifter 409 with dual-quads, and the dog-dish hubcap-shod wheels. Can you imagine what it would have been like to grab gears in this car? Sit back, close your eyes, and let your imagination take you back to a land of big engines, bigger horsepower numbers, and even bigger dreams. Let your mind be the tool and Mike's '62 Bel Air the transportation.
You grab the door handle, swing open the driver's side door, and are met with the aromas and sights of the stock red interior. You slide into the bench seat, grip the thin, red, wheel, and gaze around the cabin. Everything is where it should be. The seats are covered in the period-correct vinyl and fabric, everything is spic and span, and you can feel the car is just begging to be fired up and taken for a spin. The factory gauges with the period-perfect tach spring to life the instant you depress the clutch, put the key in the ignition, and crank the beast up. This Bel Air is meant for drag strip and street race duty-it's a factory radio-delete car. Forget about listening to the Beach Boys or Jan and Dean. The only music those riding in this classic Chevy would be listening to would come from the powerplant.
Under the hood, the 409 cackles to life, and that distinct tone emanates from the tailpipes. Lifting the hood reveals the baddest boy on the block back in '62. The 409 ci monster lies beneath, waiting to be cracked open and show everyone who the boss really is. Showcasing an 11:1 compression ratio, a solid lifter cam featuring .507-inch lift and a 278-degree duration on the intake side to go along with .519-inch exhaust lift and a corresponding duration figure of 276 degrees, there is no mistaking the rumble and lumpiness.

When low volume overhead irrigation is desired for an area where drip emitters are not practical and micro sprinkler diameter and moving parts are not required nor preferred, the adjustable micro sprayers may be what are needed. Like micro sprinklers, micro sprayers and jets are available in a wide variety of styles, flow rates, diameters, and configurations. Like micro sprinklers, they operate at low pressure and require a filter to protect the small orifice of the adjustable sprayer from clogging. The main advantage of adjustable micro sprayers to some users could be the lack of moving parts and the feature of adjustable flow rates.
To install the micro sprayer use one of our poly riser assemblies available in our accessories section and install it a minimum of 4" above ground.
To install the micro sprayer, first select the flow rate if available. Then from the accessories section select the assembly to use. Our suggestion is to use a clip stake and micro tubing with barb. First insert the spike into the ground about 2-4", then punch a hole into the side of the drip tubing using a punch, and then insert the barb on the micro tubing into the drip tubing.

Yes, I've always loathed projects that required teamwork in school and, although I can't speak for everyone, I'll say that I've always come up with creative ideas on my own while group brainstorming always inhibited idea generation.
