Bruce Fletcher was born in Melbourne in 1937. He studied at Prahan College of Advanced Educated and privately under William Dargie, who had been an official war artist during the Second World War. Fletcher was the first of two official war artists appointed during the Vietnam War.
The Memorial first decided to appoint artists for Vietnam in July 1965, but Fletcher did not arrive there until March 1967. The delay was caused by a number of problems, including the need to draw up a shortlist of suitable artists, the decline of a commission by the Memorial's first choice Ray Crooke, and the requirement of the artists to undergo the same rigorous jungle warfare training as combat troops. The increasing unpopularity of the war was another factor.
Fletcher carried out his commission between February and September 1967. He returned to work for the Memorial again in 1970, when he executed a large commemorative painting of the Battle of Long Tan.
Fletcher worked mainly in fibre-tipped pen, though he did produce a number of oil paintings while in Vietnam. Only a few days after arriving he was badly injured when a captured Viet Cong weapon accidentally discharged on board a RAAF flight between Saigon and Vung Tau. Fletcher thus spent much of his tour in the hospital ward at Vung Tau, where he set about drawing the activities of the personnel at the base. His work includes quick sketches of tents and equipment and portraits of known and unknown sitters performing daily duties. In a series of oil portraits Fletcher portrayed soldiers kitted out and engaged in a variety of army duties. These were intended to show "types" of soldiers; the sitters may not always have performed the duties depicted.
After the Vietnam War Fletcher turned increasingly to portraiture and has received many commissions. He has been a lecturer at the Caulfield Institute of Technology and now lives in Melbourne.

Here's The Rub: Fabulous & Affordable Massages In LA
Let's face it, living in Los Angeles is a breeze: idyllic weather, pretty people, and regular celeb sightings to name a few of the perks. However, there is one annoying downside -Traffic! I don't know about you, but the traffic situation in LA has gone from bad to worse. I find myself constantly frazzled about getting places on time and strategizing the best routes to get me places on time with minimal stress. So my antidote to this constant stress and the frenetic pace of life in LA is treating myself to regular massages.
Although I adore a good rub, massages can get a little spendy, right? Well, there is no need to sacrifice pampering and relaxation if you are on a budget, so I've taken some time to scout some of the best areas and locations in Los Angeles for top notch, 'get those nasty knots out' massage places for a fraction of the price of their chi-chi counterparts. Sound good? Here are some of my favorite areas:
The San Fernando Valley is super easy to navigate and find parking, so I am rather partial to this area. The Valley (as it is more commonly know as) has a plethora of Asian Foot Massage joints along Ventura Blvd. that offer high quality, relaxing one hour massages in a cushy chair, fully clothed for about $20-$35 including tip! You get to soak your feet, have your kinks worked out and they spend most of the time on your feet (my fave part). The best of the bunch is Happy Feet in Encino because it's clean, well laid out and it has a waterfall in the middle, which makes it feel like a relaxing Asian spa.
Korea Town (located in the Mid-Wilshire district of LA) is filled with great affordable spas where you can get amazing skilled shiatsu massages (a pressure point massage) for about $50/hour. I can honestly say that I have had some of the best massages ever in Korea town. As an added bonus, you can use the saunas, hot tubs and steam rooms and add a Korean scrub to your massage (can you say hello baby fresh skin!) and for typically under $100 including tip. My hands down fave is Olympic Spa intimate, authentic, women only and top notch services. I leave blissful and transformed every time I visit.
Thai Town (located on the outskirts of Hollywood) is known for delicious authentic Thai food restaurants and amazing healing Thai massages. Thai Massage is typically performed on the floor, wearing loose fitting clothing for 1 ½ hours (for about $65) and combines Ayeurvedic medicine, Hatha yoga like stretching and Chinese acupressure. I had the most profound Thai massage experience with a Thai Massage Master at Thai Sabai in Thai Town It was intense, relaxing and tremendously therapeutic, I loved it!

While Jeanne sailed her solo journeys around the world she attracted little attention, but in recent months the accolades have been pouring in. She was invited to meet Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip last year, The Royal Yachting Association did a feature story on her and she was awarded the Duchess of Kent Trophy by The Cruising Association for her mammoth achievements to date.
Since then, she's made two long passages: from Cape Town to Hobart (56 days of often-stormy S. Ocean passage!) and Hobart to Tahiti (37 days -another difficult passage, just managing to lay Tahiti eventually, although originally making for Hawaii).
She is now on passage to Hawaii, for brief stop to replace her AP pump, and then north to Victoria, British Columbia. That's when she will have completed her solo circumnavigation via the Five Great Capes. She is hoping to arrive Victoria by the end of July, where she left on 25th October, 2010.
That circumnavigation was intended to be non-stop but after her knockdown causing major damage to her boat while hove-to during a storm on 5th January 2011, she was forced to stop at Ushuaia for repairs, after rounding Cape Horn under a jury rig.
So, because of that stop, Jeanne, getting close to her 70th birthday, has decided that she wants to do it all again, THIS time non-stop.
As she explained recently in an email, 'I felt decidedly cheated when I was knocked down in January last year while trying to play safe in bad weather before rounding Cape Horn...!! If that hadn't happened, I'm convinced I'd have completed my nonstop attempt by May/June of last year.... so I'm going to give it one last try - If that doesn't work out, it clearly wasn't meant to be & I'll go back to relaxed cruising...! '
But at the age of seventy, isn't that pushing her luck? 'No way,' she said, 'So-called 'rogue waves' apart, it's mostly a matter of boat gear surviving the time in the Southern Ocean conditions, not so much the person, in trying to achieve a nonstop RTW success. That's where the racers win out - by taking under half the time I spend at sea to get around!'
October is her planned starting date. Sail-World will be following her story, but you can follow her day-to-day progress at www.svnereida.com
How did she start?
But you might be asking, how did all this happen? Was she a solo sailor from childhood? Did she grow up on a boat? No, not so. Jeanne, as she has related over the years, was simply a cruising sailor, with her husband, when fate made some changes..
Jeanne and her late husband, George, had been keen boaters for years, spending summer holidays on their carefully handcrafted boat Nereida, which was built in Sweden. They spent the best part of five years, from 1997, sailing around the Mediterranean, and over to the tropical Caribbean islands for some very memorable vacations.
They were living the dream of an ideal, relaxed retirement until her husband's body finally gave up following a long fight against cancer – while they were anchored in Bonaire.
Even though Jeanne had experience in dinghy sailing, captaining an ocean-going yacht alone is something completely different. But she was not interested in sitting around feeling sorry for herself, and decided that her passion for sailing should continue.
Socrates says, 'Firstly, my husband died of cancer while we were on a cruise in the Caribbean. I was already enjoying the boating experience with many friends because they understand what you're doing and what you're all about – the show must go on.
'I didn't want to stop what I was doing. If I get keen on something, I really go for it!
'Every time I went back to London to visit my family, I'd be hit with a year's worth of mail, and it wouldn't be long before I wanted to get back out to sea. I'd done all these courses and kept watch overnight while George was around, but it's simply keeping watch,' she says. 'Later that year, The Ocean Cruising Club – which I'm a member of and have a lot of good friends there – was having a rally in British Columbia. I thought that would be a great idea, and I started looking for somebody to help sail with me. I eventually found a good Dutch guy called Daan.
'But as it worked out, he did not pitch up at departure time: nowhere to be found. So I thought, 'If I have to wait around for somebody to sail with, this is never going to happen.' So off I went, leaving Bonaire, heading for Miami,' Socrates relates.
'But when I was leaving Bonaire, I got a VHF call, saying Daan was looking for me. I was not going to turn around, and told him to meet me at the next island in the Caribbean. Daan joined for the first part of the trip, helping me get familiar with my new role as captain.'
She would continue to grow in confidence following a successful first semi-solo sail to British Columbia, taking in some of the breathtaking vistas along the way.
The more Socrates sailed, the more she had to learn how to fix important instruments and equipment on the boat. Her background as a science and maths teacher would stand her in good stead, trying to fix things – often only with e-mail advice from manufacturers and fellow sailors.
Finally she found that she preferred sailing solo, had the competence to do it and - you know the rest of the story!

Anyone else experiencing logging in and then going to post a reply and being told you're not logged in? I think it's three times that happened to me in the past couple weeks. Or maybe I'm just nuts!
Darlene, aw, you got a dish fairy and dinner fairy all rolled into one. What a nice daughter! I hope you got some well-deserved rest on account of her generosity. Yeah, I also hope that vitamin C from the oranges helps, too.
Joanna, doing good things is a wonderful goal. You go, girl!
Cassie, thanks for your generous kudos! So much of what I do is from knowledge I gained from all my buddies HERE! One of the most important things of all was learning how to put that nutrition tracker to good use.
Golly, I can't think of ANYONE in our group who has any hours to spare. But I guess that's good because it shows we're needed and are active. I hope you enjoy another driving lesson with your son today!
Breakast was sooooooooo yummy--a warm, homemade chocolate mocha flaxmeal muffin and decaf coffee to which I added just a teaspoon of coffee creamer and 1/8 teaspoon almond extract. I was in HEAVEN--ate it very SLOWLY to enjoy it as long as possible! LOL Felt like I was cheating, but I wasn't.
Lunch was 2 servings of cooked spinach (did ya hear that, Darlene? LOL) and some almonds.
Dinner was crockpot lean pork loin, pasta and celery cooked in defatted chicken and pork broth (no sauce for me but DH got tomato sauce) and sweet & sour cucumbers as a salad.
Snack will be a low carb shake (with flaxmeal if I still need more fiber) and if I can't resist, I have plenty calories, carbs, sat fat, etc. left over for a sugar free dark chocolate miniature.
Main80, I think I'll claim your TOTM as an excuse this Friday since I don't get that 'cause I'm 65. LOL Truly, though, I hope you have an easy time of it and also that your travel today is enjoyable. I admire your courage--there's no way I could stick to 1200 calories for a whole week--I'd feel like I was starving. But that's just me--I have to do at least 1500. Of course, that's another reason why I lose so slowly... Your other goals are equally wonderful--I hope you achieve all of them.
I have "lovliness"? Wow, thanks, you sweetheart! Giggle, giggle. Thanks for your kind words about Bethany. too.
April, yeah, I do TRY to be a no nonsense lady when it comes to my reasonable expectations of others. I'm not easily intimidated and I have to try hard to make myself listen to other people's entire point of view when I'm the one in charge but someone is protesting. But I HAVE learned I don't need to yell when someone is acting like an idiot if I have the upper hand anyway--not that I NEVER yell, but it doesn't happen as often since I'm older. Things are different at home--our kids and grandkids don't get a paycheck to mind us. LOL As far as Grandson goes, we MAY be making progress. This morning Grandson got up from his nap the first time I told him as I was on my way to the bathroom to brush my teeth. But DH was trying to help (he usually sleeps in) and he forgot Grandson is supposed to get out his own dishes, pour his drink. and make his own toast if I'm not making him something like pancakes, French toast or waffles. When I came out from brushing my teeth, DH had already done Grandson's "breakfast chores." So I don't know how it would have gone today if DH hadn't stepped in. Hey, girl, you're welcome for the hand up onto the wagon, but I see you had already resolved to hop on yourself. Way to go! Kudos on having the sugar free popsicle for a snack last night! Really nice goals posted for this week and great job on the lunch walk!

Very nice apartment. Good location with Metro and tram by the door. Access to the terrace via "the roof" . Lose tiles on the floor of the terrace! Lots and lots of hangers four the close was very nice.
Clean and fully equipped appartment in a central location of Prague. Very quiet, no traffic noise at night. Only 10-15 min. to walk to the historical downtown area. Everything worked fine, getting the key at the reception desk was without any difficulty. We were very pleased with our stay and can recommend it.
i have varius ferling about my stay here, first thing the room i book was clear and perfect as was in the picture . Was in center and in perfect location as i looking for. In other side i have to make note that the rrom is manage from a company with a reception so you never will meet anybody to suggest you something like a local. The room is at 5th floor but when i was there nobidy mensioned that there is a reconstruction in the bulding so the elevator is stopped, durst everywhere and worker that start early in the morning making noisy.
Other think that i suggest at the property is this: during the night the first entrane of the gallery doesn't close, so i find people using drugs right on front the second entrance that is a bit cover from the street so no one can see nothing of what they do. Isn't very safe like that!!
Beautiful convenient place within old town square! Love the gorgeous baroque ceiling! Will definitely come back! :)
Nice appartmemt, good location. a bit noisy
This is my first time using WIMDU and my LAST ONE.
I use to travel a lot and always using apartments instead of hotels.
Last trips I always used Airb&b (to give an example, only last year i rented a house in México an other in London), but I have also tried other webs or directly through the flats owners (Baqueira for skying, Sevilla, etc) directly and never had any problem.
In this ocassion everything was a dissaster.
1. They didnt give me the appartment i did book. They said they had several in the same location and depends in disponibility. False. I booked a particular flat and i expected to be hosted in that flat. I complained as soon as I saw it but did change me. I said, ok, I want to cancel and they didn´t want to give me my money back. They only offer a disccount of 20%, but that was not a solution.
Therefore I was forced to spend three days in an apppartment I would not have rented never. It was a FRAUD. Otherwise they would have let me cancel it. Thats whay they mix pictures of diferent appartements and afterwards they give you another thing.
2. The appartment was not clean. The bed was very noisy.The sheets were smaller than the bed. Same for the comforter. The kitchen was not very well equiped. The bathroom didnt have at least a bit of shampoo or soap, at least for the first day.
3. There was a distance about 15 minutes walk between the reception, where you pick up the keys, and the studio.
4. You dont deal directly with the owner. Its like a kind of agency.
Only things good were Location and WIFI (it worked perfect).
As i said, if they would have allowed me to cancel the reservation I could have understood that it was a mmisunderstanding, but since they didnt its clear a FRAUD.
I will never book again in WIMDU if they have flat owners like this. And of course i would share this horrible experience with all my friends, the ones know Airb&b beacause I recommended to them.
Mario Vicente
It was perfect, specially the location, we couldn't choose a better location in prague, 5minutes walkin from any interesting point. Check-in is done by a reception, so we didn't meet the owners. We didn't have any problem, in fact they were very kind, but it is just a point to take into account.
Friendly and hopeful host! Had a great time in Prag. Clean and well-recourced apartment.
Elegant room, that looked even better than in the pictures.
* NOT facing the street (which is a plus, given the super central and noisy location).
* I tried to book on a very short notice (1 day before the arrival in Prague) and I got a reply less than one hour later.
* this is not really a cons, but maybe worth to mention. In the bathroom there were only two rolls of toilette papers (which is not that much for a 4 nights of staying). So we got more toilette papers and other basic stuff for breakfast at the Albert supermarket (in the nearby Palladium Shopping Center).
a very good location!

Nokia sponsored the recent Tramlines music event, which was held in Sheffield on the weekend just passed. The free-to-attend event saw performances by the likes of Reverend And The Makers, We Are Scientists, Ms. Dynamite, and many more. Nokia kicked everything off with a Lumia Live light show with music from True Tiger on the Tram Lines stage.
The video above shows the display in action with activated rave wristbands.

Let's start with the artist who covers the most uncharted ground. Writing about the New Aesthetic, the this-year-coined art concept whereby the digital reproduction of an image might be considered the essential structure of its visual DNA, The Atlantic writer Ian Bogost responded with the idea of an "object-oriented ontology." His theory is that if we can dedicate an entire aesthetic to observing the world through the perspective of the virtual eye, why not give all nonliving objects the same benefit? A similar principle guides the works of Jeffrey Clancy, an expert metalsmith who designs utilitarian-looking objects for more symbolic value than use. His three series widen the understanding of metalsmithing using the process and language of the craftsman, not the consumer. "Images of Silver Objects" is a digital print catalogue of landmark design in the silversmithing field, their captions enlarged and centered to emphasize the objects' characteristics while obscuring their commercial value. Elsewhere, seven shelves of raised metal bowls suggest a sort of taxonomy of possible forms, while on another shelf, wryly, the artist has arranged six identical Paul Revere-style bowls with near-identical engravings. Some will surely find his work to be lacking explication — perhaps even an in-joke — but Clancy is unapologetically taking the liberal view. If the history of utilitarian design has created this wealth of fine metal works, what possibilities exist if you strip out the utility? In other words, what might the metal want to be?
And while it's natural to bristle at the sight of decorative paintings, Gail Spaien's work only registers as such at first blush. Her radiant and methodical "Open Window 3: Venice" series — large, resplendent meditations of color blooms clustered in nucleic spheres — defies our predispositions about flowers in visual art. To be certain, flowers they are not, but Spaien so meticulously reproduces the atomic structures of her forms that the mind jolts to assign them representations in nature. The very act of grappling with this cognitive dissonance is one of her work's greatest pleasures. These four acrylics clearly contain energy derived from a natural order — an appreciation, yes, but equally the imagination required to resist it.
With witty ingenuity, builder Adam Manley displays four makeshift sea vessels fashioned from scraps. Projected on the wall, a video shows him unceremoniously setting sail with each. His boats differ wildly in material and design — one has him comically suspended in an armchair on a raft of insulation foam; another's basically a saucer floating on unseen physics — and the movie makes a useful bridge between hobbyhorse concepts of wood repurposing and the politicized turf of going off-grid.

text: We trade our 1st and 5th to the Jags for their 1st(18), 2nd, and 4th. 1st round- RT Gabe Camiri- ready to step in and start from day 1. Doesn't have the highest ceiling, but he'll do exactly what we need which is play a solid RT. 2nd round(a)- CB Ras-I Dowling- he's a top 25 pick if he doesn't get hurt last year. None of the injuries were long term so this makes this a good value pick. Hes ready to contribute to our shaky secondary from day 1. 2nd round(b)- NT Kenrick Ellis- has the size and strength to be an impact on our line from the start. Having him allows Ratliff to play outside making our run defense great. 3rd round- OG John Moffit- polished as they come. Wouldnt surprise me if he could beat out Davis in camp. 4th round(a)- C/OG Kristofer O'Dowd- backup C/swing guard with potential. 4th round(b)- RB Johnny White- Barber is all but gone and we need his replacement. White is a very hard runner that was probably under utilized at UNC but averaged 5.5 ypc and 12 ypc.

Ed:Blog - MPD Is Murder
by OMMA Editors on Oct 29, 12:56 PM
The two big themes of our November issue of
, mobile and video, came together in, of all places, André Balazs's The Standard in Manhattan in the shadow of the High Line. The NYC Wine and Food Festival had taken over half the Meatpacking District for the weekend, putting the focus back on actual meat, for at least a little while. (Don't worry, though, a week later the sort of prime USDA stuffed into too-tight mini-skirts and sequined tops once again prowled the cobblestones, teetering dangerously on stilettos.)

Trim Marks

Digital studios will have to make some cuts, but there's still plenty of money in online video to go around: Original online video took a beating this year, but the shine hasn't quite worn off yet. Despite a string of high-profile broadband start-up flops earlier in the year, media companies like Alloy Media + Marketing, studios like Generate and Web destinations such as the Sony-owned Crackle continue to invest in original Web programming.

Need to Know: Random Access mode
by Diane Mermigas on Oct 29, 12:56 PM
The crusade for net neutrality is turning into a food fight between Google and wireless broadband providers that has cable operators struggling to stay in the game and regulators changing the rules. With streaming video a compelling new alternative to television and mobile phones far outnumbering personal computers and tvs, net neutrality has become a free-for-all of rival traditional and new constituents.

Head along Manhattan's West Side, down Ninth Avenue to the old Port Authority building. You will need a driver's license or some form of identification. Sign in at the guard station, slide through the teched-out turnstiles and ride up one of several elevators to the fourth floor. Welcome to Google.

Forget the retro renaissance of 3-D, 2-D is the latest buzzword in mobile circles. After becoming popular in Asia and Europe, 2D barcodes -- which pack more data than the traditional linear version -- are finally catching on here as a way to make offline ads interactive and mobile coupons more convenient.

Who knew a well-placed Woody could get you nearly a million friends on Facebook?

On behalf of Friday's fans everywhere, Woody issued a simple challenge.

Bandwidth on the Run
by Matthew Gonnering on Oct 29, 12:56 PM
Now that we're in the digital age, Internet traffic volumes are giving way to traffic jams that can bring business operations to a grinding halt. The primary driver is the explosion of Internet video. Its exponentially larger file sizes and bandwidth requirements strain the infrastructure, challenging organizations to meet the ever-growing demand. And more is added daily at a rate of 33 minutes of video per second.
