A 17-year-old from York has been sentenced to 12 months behind bars after it was discovered he was blackmailing school pupils into sending him indecent images via Snapchat.
The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, blackmailed two 14-year-olds in January and May of this year, but with 362 photos and 36 videos found in his possession it is believed the abuse went on for longer.
York Youth Court heard evidence that the defendant threatened to hack one young boy's Xbox account, while also telling another child he had gained the password to their social network account.
In a bid to escape the blackmail one victim blocked the older teenager from Snapchat, but then received further threats that images he had sent would be uploaded to social media if he was not unblocked.
The guilty boy also tried to get the boy's brother to persuade his victim to reconnect but this led to the exposing of his crimes to parents and teachers.
Thomas Stanway, prosecuting, said that at least 12 pupils were contacted by the defendant, but only two cases of blackmail were confirmed.
He said:
These offences speak for themselves. We have the defendant contacting 12 youths via various electronic methods and it's clear threats were made.
The sheer number of images that have been amassed make it clear this would have been done over some time."
Lee-Anne Robins-Hicks, defending, said:
All of theses offences have been borne out of a period in the defendant's life of much confusion and a struggle with his own identity.
He has struggled with his identity and a depleted self worth and did not reach out to those close to him."
The boy will spend 12 months in a detention centre and a five-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order has been issued.

basketball - 2012-13 National Treasures NBA 3 Box Case (7 cases)
I was a week late to the game due to my own fault, but on August 7th I opened 7 cases of 2012-13 National Treasures NBA.
[B][COLOR="Red"]Nothing is for sale here[/COLOR][/B]. Everything is, or will be soon, for sale on eBay. (see my eBay link to the left) The better hits end Sunday Aug 11th and Sunday Aug 18th. I ship international and domestic, free combined shipping, free shipping on the monster hits, no reserve auctions all starting at $0.99. And I never end auctions early for any offer.
[B]Sales Results:[/B]
Just about everything is sold as of 08/19/2013. Sales results are:
Product - 2012-13 National Treasures NBA
Gross Sales* - $14,024.77
Number of Auctions - 113
* Gross sales is the total value coming out of the cases I opened. It does NOT include cost of eBay/PayPal fees, shipping costs, time spent, or any other costs. It simply measures the total amount of money generated from the sale of the cards from this break.
[B]My Opinions:[/B]
All cards are thick like the UD Exquisite cards. I'm not sure of the exact pt, but it's something larger than 138pt. This is totally new for Panini, at least for basketball products. They used to have base and jersey hits that would fit into 109pt, and the prime hits would fit into 138pt. Now all cards, base, jersey, prime, every card I pulled is the same thickness, somewhere are 140-150pt.
Again, the quality control is absolutely fantastic. There is at least one thing that Panini does right (I think there are many more than just one), and that is the fact that when you buy a product from Panini, more than likely you are going to get some very clean cut cards from a QA standpoint. Even the hard signed cards are just clean and crisp. I think I saw one very minor dinged corner out of 7 cases. Wow.
It is clear that Panini has been holding back a lot of prime patches, especially Jumbo patches. There are very few rookies this year with patches, Gold Standard has some, but they are small patches. NT opened the patch flood gates. There are so many fantastic patches in this product. Of course all the RC's are event worn, which is true for every manufacturer in every product. But all other non-RC patches are game worn.
There are some really great on cards auto's in this product. Of the Rookie RPA's are all on card auto's. But more than that: Notable Nicknames, Champions Signatures, ABA Legends, Springfield Bound, all these insert sets have on card auto's. This is fantastic. Some of these cards are just stunning, beautiful. And these insert sets are filled with super stars and legends.
The RPA's #'d to /199 don't bother me at all. Exquisite RPA's are commonly #'d to /225 and they hold value very well. I don't think /199 will limit the long term value of these RPA's at all. It all depends on the patch and the performance of the player. If they play well and the card has a nice patch, the /199 RPA will be a highly desired card for years to come.
There are a lot more NBA logoman patches in this product than in previous years. Many of the logoman cards are #'d to /2, /3, /5. This surely adds value to those who open and sell right away, like me. It may also be nice to those collectors who open boxes/cases, as it increases their chance of pulling a logoman card. However, the long term affect this will have is unknown. It is true that many collectors who buy singles want logoman #'d to /1 and no more. Yet, the logoman in this years NT are stunning cards, just absolutely beautiful. It'll be interesting to see how they hold collectors attention in years to come.
There was a lot of negative discussion about the printing plates before release, especially on Blowout Cards Forum. Some were arguing that the plates have little value or interest, especially since many of the plates are from products other than 12-13 NT NBA. Many also seemed upset that the plates counted as one or two of the box hits. I totally disagree with that negative assessment. I thought it was cool as hell to pull plates from past products such as 09-10 NT NBA. It brought back a lot of nice memories about that product and the cool cards that came out of it. Some plates are from base cards, whereas other plates are from logoman cards, that adds a nice touch. It gives collectors another card to chase after. Imagine the plate for the RPA Logoman of 09-10 James Harden! Very cool to see those plates in circulation now. They belong in collectors hands, not in a storage room at Panini headquarters.
[B]/My Opinions[/B]
[B]Pull Rates from 7 cases (21 boxes):[/B]
(21) Kobe Anthology header cards
(42) Printing Plates 1/1, the nice thing about the printing plates is that Panini seems to have only included star/legend plates (EDIT: I've heard from others that there are many plates of bench/roll players, so my plate hits very very lucky)
(25) Base Cards:[LIST][*](15) /99[*](7) /25[*](2) /10[*](1) 1/1[/LIST](22) Rookie Patch Auto's:[LIST][*](10) /199[*](6) /99[*](4) /25[*](1) /5[*](1) 1/1 Logoman[/LIST](30) '11 vs. '12 RC Dual Auto's:[LIST][*](14) Bronze /99 (some are /49)[*](11) Silver /49 (some are /25)[*](3) Gold /25 (some are lower #'d)[*](2) Green /10[/LIST]More pull rate information coming soon… but really does anyone care, so much is already known about this product. You probably just want to see the cool hits...
Siiick hits, but no other Kyrie, just NN???
[QUOTE=DKfxr;5472968]Siiick hits, but no other Kyrie, just NN???[/QUOTE]
The only two Kyrie cards that I pulled were the Notable Nickname "Uncle Drew" and a Crusade Printing Plate, both pictured above.
There are 230 Kyrie Irving RPA's (199 + 25 + 5 + 1), with an estimated case print run of 3500, that means a Kyrie RPA in 1 in 15 cases or thereabouts.
Nice stuff Alex. Good luck with your sales. I might need that Vino!
Damn there goes another 1/1 rc logoman
That Robinson is beautiful... I still have high hopes for him. Great looking stuff!
WOW you scored huge!!! PM sent, plese check! cheers, Ryan
Great stuff man!! I will be looking out for any Tobias Harris RPAS you may have pulled :)
[QUOTE=thor_rider08;5473311]Great stuff man!! I will be looking out for any Tobias Harris RPAS you may have pulled :)[/QUOTE]
No Tobias RPAs, sorry about that. :)
I'm getting swamped with PM's, I do not have time to reply to them all. I do all my business on eBay, everything will be for sale there. I'm sorry if that doesn't sit well with some members of this forum.
By the way, the cards freaking look amazing. The T Rob is just beautiful. There is some streaking on the left side of the auto, looks like he thumbed the card right after he signed it. The patches are out of this world. The Carmelo patch, it's just huge. It's clear Panini was saving up a ton of uni's for this years NT. In my opinion they really delivered. That's why everyone is busting this product open like gangbusters.
It's a great time to buy singles on eBay... ;)
That's an awesome patch on the Parsons Alex, I may have to pick up a second :)
Always love reading your breakdowns. I enjoy breaking a bit of the high end stuff as much as the next guy, but I've become more of a set builder on the mid end stuff this year. It's always interesting to see your analysis.
Thanks for taking the time to show us what you do.

I agree the cards look amazing!!
I am very happy to scoop up singles right now!!
I only wish they would have collated the product better and would get rid of the stickers..
I posted on here b/c I am sure your inbox is full..
No Harris RPA?? What is the world coming to!
Thanks for showing us your hits!!
Your 7 cases killed the blowout 10 case break
As always... a fun break to read about, great insight and analysis, and just an overall pleasure checking out this thread. Such a benefit to this forum... congrats on the great hits!
Wow I'm gunna try to win that Vince logoman
nice results man , you pull any Mayo plates?
if you get an Muggsy Bogues Printing Plate, plmk via PM. I'm interested in it. Thx.
Sorry, no Mayo or Bogues plates.
In fact, every plate I pulled was a star, good RC or legend. 6 Kobe, 2 Durant, 2 Wade, 3 Harden, 2 Chamberlain, Kyrie, Anthony Davis, Kawhi, Faried, Bird, Ewing, Cowens. I thought that Panini inserted only plates of stars, but then someone told me others have been pulling some bench players and such. I guess my plate pulls were super lucky.
the eric gordon /1 you have listed is actually ben gordon =)
[QUOTE=msrozen;5475098]the eric gordon /1 you have listed is actually ben gordon =)[/QUOTE]
Well gosh darn me I totally wiffed on that one, not sure why I was thinking Eric Gordon. I can't revise the auction because it's already got a few bids. So I just canceled that listing and I'll relist it correctly tomorrow.
Thanks for the heads up!
That Kobe "Vino" card...is HUGE. wow.
Sweet looking cards. Good luck with your sales!
Any Johan petro plate?
[QUOTE=mickaeldvdt;5475374]Any Johan petro plate?

[QUOTE=byronscott4ever;5475784]Any Byron Scott plates?[/QUOTE]

BUTTERFLIES AND THE PLANTS THEY NEED - On Saturday, June 18th, at 10:00 a.m., Adrienne Frank, butterfly enthusiast and Virginia Master Naturalist from the Historic Rivers Chapter, will help us learn how to identify local butterflies as well as when and where we might see them. Although butterfly caterpillars need host plants as a food source, adult butterflies need nectar plants, so Adrienne will teach us which plants are good host plants and which are good nectar plants for the different butterfly species. Her Freedom Park presentation is part of the Learn and Grow Educational Series sponsored by the Williamsburg Botanical Garden and will be held in the Freedom Park Interpretive Center. The program is free, although a $5.00 donation to help the Garden grow is appreciated. Following the program, Master Gardeners will be in the Botanical Garden to answer questions and talk about what is in bloom. For butterfly questions, contact Adrienne at email@example.com .

A young, adolescent woman, seated at a table, ate fries. The fork came down, again and again, spearing them. And she tasted nothing. Her senses were not dull. She was distracted.
The clock on the stove, across the kitchen, displayed 11:13pm. It caught the young woman's eye, and she quickly rendered the remaining fries with a quick gnashing of teeth.
Upon the table, the news-tab had been projecting a hologram. Normally, it was a gray slab of plastic. The display flipped between random clips of news, and celebrity gossip.
Petty, and pettier, she thought. Wireless communications with the girl's implant node proved useless at filtering the display to only show what was relevant to her interests. Its failure angered her. The real world does not concern me.
The machine shut off with a flick of the girl's thoughts. The news tab lay silent and unshining, upon the table. And then, an orange light blinked on as it began to download an update.
And she went to bed. Upstairs, in the bathroom, she tended to her insignificant appearance. And, alone, she walked to her bedroom and fell asleep. And as she fell asleep, her mind logged in to Vagary.
The relaxing lights swirled around her sight. The calming sounds, brought her away to another place in another world, with a time-line of its own.The illusion materialized before her senses. And he materialized to her senses. She was he, and he was she.
He sat, on horseback, at the edge of an open plain. He was below a cliff's edge, clad in armour and crowned with an obsidian circlet. He was immobile. The army before him was immobile. The clouds in the sky were immobile. And the world did not move.
My troops, exactly as I left them. she thought, And my steed, as dependable as ever.
The comforting feel of the leather saddle became too familiar, as the world remained at pause. And finally, words displayed in the air before her.
Welcome, Kali. Session 483 of the Vagary Role Playing Game, on Server Nexus 031-A, is about to commence in 4 minutes and 32 seconds, as it is 11:25pm (Central Time, GMT - 6:00). Please be patient, as the world will be in motion soon. While you wait, please feel free to chat with other users in this dreamworld nexus.
Kali would have smiled, however her character was frozen. She tried, and got mild feedback from her implant. Damn you, Prince Klyneh!
Incoming message from your step-father, Kali, the implant told her. She glanced at the welcome text, and read the time again: '...commence in 3 minutes and 46 seconds, as it is 11:26pm (Central...'
"Kali, are you there?" A calm baritone, with flawless English.
"I'm here, Papa." She recognized her father's voice, however Kali's own voice seemed off to her, and only her. There was something subtly imprecise, to her own brain, about the synthetic reproduction of her voice. Perhaps because she wasn't hearing it through her own skull.
"Are you going to tell me who your character is?" A playful tone, and a question asked regularly.
"Last time, I told Uncle Rameen who I was, and his archer assassinated me, Papa. I had to make a new character. Who idly kills off a court jester?"
Synthetic laughter, from his implant. Finally, "Our Rameen?"
"Yes, Uncle Rameen!"
"My brother-in-law, Rameen?"
"Yes, Papa. Uncle Rameen!"
She read, '2 minutes and 11 seconds'. Then, Kali's thoughts spoke to her system, "Player Count"
"No, Papa, I was talking to the system."
"And what is it at?"
"Sixty out of sixty-three signed in. One missing in action. Two characters left to be run by Artificial Intelligence. As of just now."
"How was your schoolwork tonight?"
"Oh, fine," Kali replied. And my classmates are gonna get a whuppin' tonight! Her voice betrayed her emotional distance, "And work, Father?"
"Bewildering. Lots of paperwork, and a droid broke down. However, we made a good sale today. And I hired a new accountant intelbot from Microdroid Industries. We got it up and running on lunch break, and it put out with some very impressive features."
More than I wanted to know. Kali had the welcome text fixed in front of Prince Klyneh's unmoving eyes, watching the timer with impatience. "That's nice to hear, Papa. And how's Mom? I didn't get to speak with her today --"
Prince Klyneh's horse trotted around to the base of a ramp, and climbed the cliffside. With a graceful whinny, it faced the army of eighty soldiers. The ostentatious armour shone in the dawn's rising sunlight. A horn sounded, and every soldier's face turned to face the Prince.
His voice boomed over the windless plain, "This fine day, men, we march against my brother's land!"
The men cheered, and the Prince's brown horse leaned up, on its hind hooves, and neighed with as much enthusiasm. As its front fell back to the ground, the Prince let go of his grip around the horse's neck and grinned smugly.
"Five silvers to the woman or man who brings me my brother alive. And seven to the one who brings me his beloved wench!"
Excellent! A deafening cheer rose from the crowd. Kali thought she made a fine orator as Prince Klyneh. A response from her father came, and she pushed it to the side of her mind, choosing instead to focus on the game. I have been playing up to this critical week for months!
Kali had been playing Vagary since she turned sixteen, over a year ago. It was a medieval fantasy in a virtual world. And every night, her mind came to it between 11:30pm and 7:00am. Several people in her community used the same server nexus. Thus, it was a community of thought and imagination that reflected a geographical locale.
After six months, her uncle had killed her first character. Kali had been a royal jester adept at court life. Playing that fool had taken every ounce of charisma and wit that Kali possessed. And rather than create another character again from scratch, the system had given her a random offer of taking over the role of a Non-Player Character, which most users called NPCs for short. The NPC in question was the Crown Prince's younger brother, Prince Kwyneh. And Kali liked his sly, subtle antagonization of the courtesans. His envious ambitions were alluring to her, and had been the butt of many jokes. Also, she had reckoned it would be nice to play as a man for once.
The steady march towards the capital was wearing down on the Prince's mind. The grassy plains were uneasy on the eyes in the harsh sunlight of the morning. And because few of the men had horses, the trip was slow. Three had horses: Prince Klyneh, his tactician, and a scout.
The scout was before the men, following the road as it wound through countryside. Occasionally, they met patches of farmland. More and more rows of crops, roaming animals and modest houses appeared as they came nearer to the capital city.
In the distance, walls loomed unguarded. The scout observed nothing. And reported nothing. The horn, tied around his neck, was dry. However, if danger was sighted, his artificial intelligence was set to blow the horn and ride away in an attempt to mislead the enemy. However, none seemed to yet suspect Prince Klyneh of treason.
Clip-clop, clip-clop. Slud-slid, slud-slid. The steady rhythm of hooves and metal boots against hard, wet dirt wore down against the Prince's mind. He continued to brood. Kali felt all his envy, all his longing. She truly felt in touch with her character. A stray thought congealed, My tactician is not a user, is he?
The wind stirred, for the first time that morning, and dulled the monotonous beat of the marching soldiers.
Kali's speculation continued to dominate the Prince's mind, as they both ascended into paranoia. Players and significant NPCs are able to use magic. My tactician is not of royal blood. And I have not seen him use magic. However, something is off about him. Perhaps the Intel for that character is simply flawless.
The prince's warhorse whinnied, by instinct. The scent of ogres was on the wind. Prince Klyneh's nose was oblivious. However, he could make an educated guess about why the horse whinnied. And he knew, before the --
The scout blew a deep, sonorous tone from the curled horn, as a crossbow bolt shattered the crude instrument into several pieces. With a ping, it made a small dent in the scout's chestplate.
The Prince's tanned hand rose from the reins of his horse, and moved lochs of curly black hair away from his eyes. He scanned the northern horizon, looking over the men around him.
Birds took off, across many fields in the northwest. However, in the northeast they continued to scrounge at the wet ground for worms. And that told the Prince where the scout was.
"March through that field on our left, with a northwest heading!" Prince Klyneh ordered. Then he explained his reasoning, as some among his rogue army were mercenaries, "Soldiers, that was an abrupt blow which means that the scout has hostiles in his sight, though he is safe. If they attack him before we reach his location, he will let out another short honk."
There's a slim chance that at least one of these mercenaries is a user. However, I cannot rule it out. Kali reasoned, Due to my unforeshadowed, rogue actions and any abberations in the Prince's original personality, I've made it clear that the Prince is not an NPC anymore. Perhaps I should have planned this more carefully.
The clock, in Kali's head, let her known that it was 11:41pm in the real world. Time was perceived faster, in the game. Kali thought she had been marching for an hour. However, it had been a mere ten minutes. Thus, her conquest might end in the passing of a single night. She reckoned the siege might take a month of Vagary, at best. That would only be five or six days. However, she hoped it would take a mere week. This one, single night. So she could walk into university tomorrow with her head held high, and reveal her true identity. Kali cherished her rivalries.

AfroFoodtv.com is a website that is dedicated to African food and lifestyle. The site was launched in September 2006 by Yetunde "Yeti" Ezeanii in Atlanta, Georgia. Ezeanii serves as the chef and hostess of the website.[1]
Africa is a continent of more than 50 countries, at different levels of development, using a wide variety of cooking styles and ingredients.[citation needed] The recipes offered on AfroFoodtv.com represent some of the well-known, classic dishes from the various regions of the continent.[citation needed] And as the Web site has evolved, some of the recipes now incorporate African flavors into traditional Western dishes such as pizza and hamburgers.
The recipe section is broken down into the following areas: staples, soups, stews, chicken, fish, meat, snacks and sides.
AfroFoodtv.com has a video library with over 40 demonstrations of recipes. These videos are hosted by Ezeanii.[citation needed]
Ezeanii has written and been featured in several articles on African cuisine in such publications as Nigeria World (online newspaper),[2] [3] Munaluchi (African bridal magazine), and The Sunday Paper[4] [5] Ezeanii is also the host of the "Taste of Africa" by Afrofoodtv food show twice weekly on Afrotainment Television which is on the dish network channel 751. This makes "Taste of Africa" by Afrofoodtv the only currently running food television show dedicated exclusively to African cuisine.

|1,372 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 - 30 nights
Large 3 Bedroom Unit on the second floor directly facing the water. Maximum capacity is 8. Absolutely no pets allowed. Condo is conveniently located near the stairs for quick access to the beach and pools with elevators nearby if needed.
Unit has a fully equipped galley style kitchen for all your needs along with a free standing ice machine. Large living area and dining area seats 10 (6 at table and 4 at the bar), 2 full baths, washer & dryer, and all linens and towels are provided. There are flat screen TV's in all the bedrooms and the living area, cable is provided and free wireless internet.
Regency Towers is a gated property with 24 hour security, 2 huge pools, a wading pool for kids, and an indoor hot tub with waterfall just off the pool deck. New barbeque grills and outdoor tables on the east and west ends of the building are available for cooking out, there are swings to relax in, along with tennis courts, new shuffleboard courts, and a newly renovated exercise room. For your convenience there is a poolside snack bar with everyone's favorite summer foods and beverages.
There are a lot of activities available on the beach directly in front of the complex, such as beach volleyball, para-sailing, jet skiing, or banana boat rides. Two padded beach chairs with an umbrella are complimentary with the unit rental and are marked with unit number on them.
Within a mile you can play 18 holes of golf, ride go-carts, play putt-putt, or even try bungee jumping. Other activities near by include fishing charters, boat rentals, sailing, snorkeling, and scuba diving. Just a little bit farther and you will find greyhound racing, amusement parks, water parks, wineries, great restaurants, beach bars, nightlife, cinemas, and wonderful shopping at Pier Park.
Beautiful St. Andrew State Park is less than a mile a way and you can walk down the beach to Schooners Beach Club for casual food, drinks, dancing, and beach volleyball.
There is a Wal-Mart, Winn-Dixie, and Publix just minutes away and a new Dollar General across the street within walking distance.
Panama City Beach was our home for 30 years. It is a wonderful place to live and an even better place to vacation so book yours now and make some memories.
My husband and I were raised in Panama City and we lived there for 30+ years. My husband retired from the Panama City Police Department and we moved away for a career opportunity. Panama City is still 'home' to us and we are so fortunate to have a vacation home to visit.
Owner/Property Manager purchased this condo in 2011
My mom bought this unit in 1981 because she loved the beach and she spent many happy years there. We visited with our kids in the summer and they loved it. When my mom passed away we bought the place to keep it in our family so that we could continue to have many more happy times there. Now our children and grandchildren visit in the summer.
Regency Towers was one of the first high rise condominium units built on Panama City Beach. It is very well built and well maintained. It offers larger accommodations than most of the newer condos being built today and it is in an excellent location. It is minutes from some of the best restaurants on the beach. There is a boat ramp four blocks north of the condo and free parking for your boat across the street from the complex. A bait shop and a Dollar General across the street and during the summer there is nightly entertainment at the complex such as movies and karaoke.
I love that the condo faces the water and being on the 2nd floor gets you above everything but you can still see and hear people, you can see the pool, the sand, the water, and there is a grassy area under the balcony which also adds to the view, also you can just zip down the stairs to the beach and avoid the elevator.
You can get wherever you need to be in a matter of minutes. There is even a restaurant that you can walk down the beach to.
We try very hard to make our condo comfortable and it is filled with all the things that we like to have when we vacation. We hope that you will enjoy it as much as we do.
If we require a 3 bedroom in the future, we would definitely request this unit again. Plenty of space to spread out, comfy beds and linens, excellent wi-fi, and even came with the use of chairs and umbrella from the vendor on the beach. There was a high quality, new washer/dryer and separate ice machine. Other than hauling our bags in and out, we never used the elevator and had easy access to the beach. Thanks for a great stay!
Love this condo! It's the nicest one we have ever rented. We rent this condo every year! Sheryl is easy to work with! We will rent again next year!!!
Too short but fabulous as usual! very comfortable
Loved our 10 day stay at 3 bdr condo, Perfect in every way
Sheryl was VERY easy to work with. The condo kitchen was fully equipped with everything noted in the overview and more! Comfortable couches, chairs and beds. The condo was beautiful, spacious, clean, with a great view from the second floor balcony. The weather was hot and humid, but just what we expected for July. Parking was a little crowded (it was 4th of July weekend), but I noted that cars with "overflow" tags were parking in the main lot and not the "overflow" lot. Staff and security was helpful, movie night on Friday was good, and we were very pleased with our stay. Hope to contact Sheryl again next year for the same condo if we decided to visit Panama City Beach next year. Thanks for everything, Sheryl!! :)
The condo was in a great location and spacious! It was very clean and accommodated our needs. The location of condo was great for the family and there was hardly any noise.. Beach was not crowded for the toddlers to play and enjoy their beach time. The staff at rengency was awesome to work with on the wedding! Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!
Minutes from your vacation rental you will find: para sailing, wave runner, pontoon boat, and scooter rentals; deep sea fishing charters; several 18 hole golf courses; Shell Island and dolphin tours; Gulf World Marine Park; Pier Park; mini golf; go-carts; water park; and St. Andrews State Park.

getting a little head
Your neighborhood newbie with more questions here. :) I''m gonna start this round off with an obvious statement, followed by an easily guessable question, which I''m hoping someone will have an easy answer for. Here goes...
First, the obvious statement:
Chem toilets suck.
Never would have guessed that one huh?
now for the logical question to follow:
How do I wedge a real marine head in where there''s not too much more room than a chem toilet takes up?
Here''s the details: Josie, my boat, is realy nice. She''d make a great weekender... except that I dont want to use the chem toilet. It smells afterwards. And now that I''m looking at doing extended stuff, it''s become a necessity.
She''s a 20 footer and the layout of the boat is a small cabin, all one room, with a flip up compartment at the base of the v birth which holds a chem toilet. I dont have an enclosed head, and in a boat this size, it would be a.) neigh impossible, and b.) a huge waste of space. so I''d like to see if they make a realy stubby marine head that I could put in there, and maybe a holding bag in a neighboring compartment, and a macerator and so on and so forth. (btw, where does one obtain macerators, sailnet''s store doesnt have them that I could find.)
How massive a project is this? Thoughts? suggestions? thanks :)
-- James
getting a little head
If my memory serves me correctly, Raritan has a small head fixture and a separate holding tank molded to fit around the front of the bowl and base. It''s what I have planned to replace a porta-potti with. I picked up literature on it at the Annapolis Sailboat show several years ago. Defender doesn''t show it in their catalog any longer but may be able to special order it. Check them also for macerators if Sailnet can''t provide.
getting a little head
Sealand makes a self-contained unit thats able to make hard connections unless you are going outside the 3 mile limit for a long time you are tradeing one set of problems for another check out the stinky head message in this forumn I have a small holding tank and at ten bucks a pump I would rather have a chem unit to take ashore an dump in the shoreside bathrooms.
getting a little head
Avoid flexible bladder-style holding tanks. They are too odor permeable and will stink in a very short time.

Last year the illegitimacy rate in America dropped for the first time in 20 years. The number of babies born to teen-agers also declined for the fourth year in a row. There may be several factors at work here -- more accurate reporting, for example, and wider use of contraceptives, particularly among teen-agers -- but the new data can only hearten all those who worry about the social, economic and personal consequences of illegitimacy.
The National Center for Health Statistics reports a decline in the rate of births to unmarried women, from 46.9 per 1,000 in 1994 to 44.9 last year -- the first drop since 1978. About half of the decline is attributable to more accurate reporting of out-of-wedlock births to Latino women in California. The rate of births to 15-to-19-year-olds dropped 3 percent in a year, from 58.9 births per 1,000 women in 1994 to 56.9 last year.
The Alan Guttmacher Institute says that government-financed contraceptive programs deserve some of the credit. In a new study, the institute concludes that on an average annual basis, these programs prevented about 1.3 million unplanned pregnancies -- two-thirds of them involving unmarried women -- and 29 percent involving teen-agers.
The institute notes further that family planning programs are cost-effective, with every tax dollar spent on contraception saving three dollars in Medicaid costs for pregnancy-related health care. Family planning services also avert more welfare costs.
Federal and state funding for these programs exceeds $700 million, but measured in 1980 dollars, spending has decreased by about 30 percent. Young, poor and single women are most at risk from unplanned pregnancies. They are also the largest consumers of publicly funded family services. Higher funding for these services would be a smart investment.Continue reading the main story

Ive done lots of socks, scarves, mittens but now I want to try a sweater. Is there a site or does someone have a really easy pattern? Im itching to do a sweater!:knitting:
My first sweater was a top down pullover (#9724) from Knitting Pure and Simple so I haven't knit their cardigans yet. If you don't mind buying a pattern I highly recommend them though. The pattern was easy to follow. Many, if not most, of them are top down seamless patterns. http://www.knittingpureandsimple.com/cardi.html
I am a beginning knitter who is knitting a cardigan right now. I am doing the Central Park Hoodie. Again, it is a pattern that you have to buy, but it is so surprisingly easy. Even if you don't want to do cables, you can still make the cardigan in all stockinette stitch.

Anna Wintour is the latest high-profile figure to boycott the Dorchester hotel group owned by the Sultan of Brunei, and the Duchess of Cambridge the latest to ignore it, attending a wedding there on Friday. Now will one of the year's biggest fashion events follow Wintour's suit or Kate's?
Fashion for the Brave has been held at the hotel since its inception in 2010, raising funds for The Household Cavalry Foundation. The evening revolves around a fashion show curated by the Telegraph's Hilary Alexander, and last year Princess Beatrice was among the guests. Prince Harry, meanwhile, is an officer in the cavalry.
Wintour, editor of US Vogue, will not stay in her favourite Paris hotel, Le Meurice, during Fashion Week in September due to the sultan's passing of sharia law. The legislation will see the stoning to death of gays, adulterers and those who have abortions.
"While I am sensitive to the potential impact that this issue may have on the wonderful staff at Le Meurice," Wintour told the New York Times, "I cannot in all good conscience stay there, nor can Vogue's editors." Other figures avoiding the group include Richard Branson and Stephen Fry.
The Londoner contacted the PR team behind Fashion for the Brave to see if the British fashion pack would be going elsewhere but received no reply.
The Household Cavalry Foundation, meanwhile, is already excited about the event. It will stand by the Park Lane hotel and host the party there on September 19. It may, however, be lonely on the front row.Reuse content
