Program | FR–SRFreshmen - Senior | 16 | 16 | Day | F 11 Fall | W 12Winter | Come with us on a virtual journey from the Baltics to the Balkans. The cobblestone streets of medieval Estonia, misty Carpathian and Transylvanian mountains, and sunny shores of the Adriatic Sea await our arrival as we traverse a magnificent territory stretching from the gates of Scandinavia through the mountains, plains and forests of Slavic, Hungarian and Romanian central Europe to the portals of the once-great empires of Macedonia and the Ottoman Turks.Our theme of "Blood" examines the ethnic and cultural identities prevalent in the region and how ethno-religious and cultural nationalisms have shaped and been shaped by constructed identities as well as by regional conflicts and invading distant powers since 1848. Indeed, some of the world's most reviled rulers and dictators, including Dracula, Hitler and Stalin, left bloody and permanent marks on this entire region.Our theme of "Borders" explores how international and regional boundaries have been drawn and redrawn and how central Europe has served as a "borderland" between Christianity and Islam, Western and Eastern Christianity, the German, Austrian, Russian and Ottoman empires, NATO and the Soviet Union, and present-day Russia and the European Union. The revolution of 1989 and the demise of Communism, initiating a new chapter in the region's history, will be a significant focus of our study. We will examine why the numerous ethnic, national, religious and political identities often "resolved" their differences by force and violence rather than by tolerance and acceptance.Historical, cultural, geographical, economic, gender, and environmental modes of analysis will enable us to examine both previous and contemporary issues in each country in this region. Such analysis will also permit us to offer regional angles that transcend state boundaries, a particularly exciting aspect of investigation since so many of the current nation-state borders have been drawn recently and, in many cases, artificially. Abundant literary works and films from each of the region's relevant countries will offer additional valuable insights.In fall quarter, we will examine the historical background chronologically, enhanced with a study of the geography and demography of this varied region. Winter quarter will focus on a variety of fascinating themes connecting the present to the past and the future. In both quarters, students will write papers and conduct research projects that link our themes over time and on a local, national and global scale. We will use lectures, images, readings, film critique, art, maps and literature as tools in our exploration. | international affairs, history, political science, geography, cultural anthropology and international business. | Patricia Krafcik Marta Botikova Robert Smurr Zoltan Grossman | Freshmen FR Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR | Fall | Fall Winter | |||

Program | JR–SRJunior - Senior | 16 | 16 | Day | S 12Spring | Most people think of a disturbance as disturbing--upsetting the natural balance, throwing into disorder, or interfering--yet disturbances are a common, regular characteristic of many eco systems. Disturbance is an important ecological process affecting ecosystems at multiple spatial and temporal scales. As disturbance plays such an important role in such processes as vegetation community patterns, successional trajectories, and other ecological patterns, understanding disturbance and its ecological influences is vital to developing a basic understanding of significant controls of ecosystem function and composition. In this program we will investigate the role of disturbance as it relates to existing, and historic, ecological conditions. We will examine how the principles of pattern – process interactions and scale are applied to the study and understanding of disturbance processes. We will also relate disturbance to historic and contemporary human resource and land use issues to study the interactions between humans and disturbance over time.Important questions for the study of disturbance include: what is the disturbance regime for a given disturbance? At what spatial and temporal scales do disturbances operate? How do disturbances affect ecological patterns and processes ? How do humans respond to, and try to control, disturbances? To address these questions we will explore disturbance by using field, class and lab approaches. We will visit several disturbance sites as well as learn methods to map and analyze disturbance patterns and the variables related to those processes. Lecture and seminars will address recent research and approaches to characterizing and studying disturbance. Students will be expected to carry out a project investigating a disturbance process and its influence on the local ecology as well as human responses to that disturbance type. Students interested in upper division science credit should be aware that upper division science credit will be awarded only for upper division work. | Peter Impara | Junior JR Senior SR | Spring | Spring | |||||
Lucia Harrison and Abir Biswas
Program | FR–SOFreshmen - Sophomore | 16 | 16 | Day | F 11 Fall | W 12Winter | This program offers an introductory study of the Earth, through geology and art. What makes the earth a habitable planet? What forces have shaped the geology of the Pacific Northwest? These questions have fascinated people for centuries. Both scientists and artists rely heavily on skills of observation and description to understand the world, and to convey that understanding to others. Geologists use images, diagrams and figures to illustrate concepts and communicate research. Artists take scientific information to inform their work, and seek to communicate the implications of what science tells us about the world. They also draw on scientific concepts as metaphors for autobiographical artworks. In the fall, we will use science and art to study basic concepts in earth science such as geologic time, plate tectonics, earth materials and how they are formed, the hydrological cycle and stream ecology. Case studies in the Cascade Mountain Range and Nisqually Watershed will provide hands-on experience. In the winter, we further this study to include soil formation, nutrient cycling, ocean basin sand currents, and climate change. Field studies will include a trip to the Olympic Peninsula where we will observe coastal processes. Geologic time and evidence of the Earth's dynamic past are recorded in rocks on the landscape. Students will learn basic techniques in observational drawing and watercolor painting. They will learn the discipline of keeping illustrated field journals to inform their studies of geological processes. They will also develop finished artworks ranging from scientific illustration to personal expression. | geology, environmental studies, education and visual arts. | Lucia Harrison Abir Biswas | Freshmen FR Sophomore SO | Fall | Fall Winter | |||
Sean Williams, Heather Heying and Eric Stein
Program | FR–SRFreshmen - Senior | 16 | 16 | Day | F 11 Fall | W 12Winter | In addition to the landscape of the map, there are also landscapes of the mind. How humans conceptualize where and how they (and others) live is an elemental process that has started wars, led to new forms of cross-cultural communication, and given rise to hybridization of both populations and ideas. Our focus in this two-quarter program is to take a particular area of the world -- the equator -- and explore how various groups of people (local and foreign) have come to understand it over time. Through our work in science, the performing arts and anthropology, we will collectively engage the ways in which people connect to the natural world, the arts, and each other.Each quarter divides into sections in which we highlight a particular lens through which to view our work, or focus on ways in which our lenses overlap. For example, we will examine how anthropology and medicine have grappled with "The Tropics" as a space believed to be essentially different from "The West," raising questions about the construction of race, the body, and the category of the "primitive." We will also work with sound: playing and creating musical instruments, singing and listening to music. In an attempt to understand the relationship between humans and the world around them, we will investigate evolutionary processes that apply to plants and animals near the equator. While our studies are contextualized in regions such as Brazil and Indonesia and other equatorial locations, we will also work briefly with a few regions outside the equator by way of comparison.Weekly activities feature lectures, films and seminars. Other planned activities include field trips, workshops, collaborative presentations and guest lectures. Students are expected to focus on enhancing their college-level writing skills throughout the program; each quarter's major writing assignments will require students to revise their work and understand the process of revision. In fall quarter students will be introduced to important concepts about how to approach this material: issues of race, class and gender in a colonial context are important factors in deepening our understanding. As we move into winter quarter, students will have more chances to develop individual projects focusing on a particular area of interest. | anthropology, science and ethnomusicology. | Sean Williams Heather Heying Eric Stein | Mon Tue Wed Thu | Freshmen FR Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR | Fall | Fall | ||

Abir Biswas and Christopher Coughenour
Program | FR–SRFreshmen - Senior | 16 | 16 | Day | S 12Spring | What are the origins of the Earth? What processes have shaped the planet's structure over the past 4.6 billion years? Through lab and lecture, students will become familiar with how fundamental Earth materials (minerals and rocks) form and are altered by the persistent physical, chemical, and biological processes at work on our planet's surface. In this program students will study the mechanisms of changes in terrestrial and marine Earth systems and interpret geologic evidence in order to understand Earth system processes. Our approach will integrate topics in chemistry, physics, and evolutionary biology with in-depth studies of physical and historical geology. Quantitative skill development will be fundamental to this approach.After a period of on-campus skill and content building, students will participate in approximately two weeks of rigorous field work. Some students will embark on a 16-day river trip through the Grand Canyon, giving those students the opportunity to visit one of the geologic wonders of the world, access to over 1 billion years of geologic history, and study the processes currently shaping the Canyon. Other students will participate in multiple hands-on field excursions across the Pacific Northwest, studying some of the incredibly diverse landscapes and applying their knowledge about Earth system process in the field.This field-based program requires significant commitment from students, given the cost, rigors, and time away from campus. All students in the program will participate in field work though only approximately 14 students will be able to participate in the Grand Canyon river trip. The program will integrate physical geology, historical geology, quantitative skills for the earth sciences, and a field project. Students who successfully complete this program will gain a solid scientific basis for future work in all aspects of earth sciences and environmental studies. | Abir Biswas Christopher Coughenour | Freshmen FR Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR | Spring | Spring | |||||

Program | FR–SRFreshmen - Senior | 16 | 16 | Day | S 12Spring | This is a place-based program centered on the Salish Sea and the major watersheds of Washington State. Students will learn about our region of North America through the lenses of environmental history and cultural geography, examining changing human/environment relations over time. We will study aspects of Native culture, non-Native settlement, and modern challenges to sustainability and justice throughout the region. Particular attention will be paid to exploring our local corner of the Salish Sea region, so that students can understand their place at Evergreen within the context of broad, historical changes and the possibilities for constructing sustainable communities for the future. Multiple field trips will develop firsthand knowledge of the region's people and environments, where rivers and seas are surrounded by such diverse ecosystems as rain forests, arid basins, high mountain ranges, and wetlands. Field trips will include a canoe trip on the Columbia River, a visit to the largest dam removal project in history (in-progress on the Olympic Peninsula), and visits to inspiring restoration projects along both rural and urban shorelines and rivers. Students will be challenged to identify unifying features as well as variations in our region's environmental history and geography. | Robert Smurr Ted Whitesell | Tue Tue Wed Fri Fri | Freshmen FR Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR | Spring | Spring | ||||
Ted Whitesell and Frances V. Rains
Program | FR–SRFreshmen - Senior | 16 | 16 | Day | W 12Winter | Modern development controls and reshapes landscapes and their natural communities in many ways. Our natural shorelines have been covered with asphalt and buildings, our rivers have been dammed, our forests have been turned into timber plantations, our wetlands have been drained, our arid basins are endless fields of intensive agribusiness, and our scenic areas have turned into tourist meccas full of roads, buildings, and fun seekers. Is there a future for at least some landscapes where humans would behave as respectful members of diverse natural communities; where we would listen to what the land is telling us? Many Native Americans and non-Natives have been fighting for generations to promote the wellbeing of places that are special to them, and to recover many areas that have been "developed." This program will look at important approaches to this challenge, allowing students to discover what a sustainable and just landscape looks like -- particularly in the places that we know and love -- and how, exactly, we can help some places remain free of "progress," as commonly defined. We will approach this topic by looking at the tensions behind the major approaches to interacting with and protecting the land by Native and non-Native peoples, investigating practices that have been called "conservation," "wilderness preservation," and "stewardship," and examining the different meanings associated with these terms. We will look at both historic and contemporary efforts to mitigate the tensions between different approaches and competing interests and viewpoints, including interests and viewpoints grounded in race, class, gender, and culture. A number of regional case studies of Native and non-Native practices will be used to ground our work, showing how some lands have been safeguarded, some ecosystems have been restored, and some cultural practices might be evolving in both Native and non-Native communities, leading toward sustainability, justice, and the autonomy of natural systems. It is essential for any society that intends to be sustainable to foresee the consequences of its treatment of the natural communities where they live. Therefore, a central concern will be that students learn from past experience how to foster a future society characterized by humility, respect, and reverence toward natural communities.Learning will take place through writing, readings, seminars, lectures, and films. Students will improve their research skills through document review, landscape observations, critical analysis, and written assignments. Each student will research and report on one on-going case that represents a hopeful path forward toward autonomous and just landscapes. | Ted Whitesell Frances V.

Program | SO–SRSophomore - Senior | 16 | 16 | Day | F 11 Fall | W 12Winter | The world is undergoing profound change at the global, state and local levels. This program will introduce students to the major political-economic concepts and historical developments necessary for a deep and usable understanding of these changes. It is intended to provide a foundation for advanced work in political economy and the social sciences as well as enable students to become effective citizens and social agents. We will examine the historical construction and interrelated nature of the U.S. political economy, including its place in the larger world system and its operation at the local level. We will also consider the role social movements have played and examine possibilities for social justice, self-determination and equality.The nature, development and concrete workings of modern capitalism will be a major focus. This means our study will draw on a range of social science disciplines, including history, political science, economic history, sociology and cultural studies to develop a multidisciplinary, multilevel understanding of the concepts, historical periods and social movements which will form our curriculum.In fall, we will study the U.S. political-economic trajectory from the early national period to the current manifestation, neoliberalism. There will be a particular focus on key events, processes and periods such as migrations, social movements, economic crises, privatization, and industrialization, deindustrialization and automation. Throughout we will attempt to include a global and local context. Our studies of transformation will examine the relationship between building movement (ongoing changing conditions) and movement building (responses to these conditions) and constructions of race, class and gender relations in the context of these transformations.The winter will continue to focus on the interrelationships among the globalization process, the U.S. political economy, and changes at the local level. We will study the causes and consequences of the deepening globalization and technologizing of capital and its effects on daily lives. We will pay attention to the human consequences of imperialist globalization and resistance to it. Beginning in the fall but focused in the winter students will engage in a research project in which they examine the political economy of their own hometowns over the last several decades.Films will be shown throughout the program. There will be a substantial amount of reading in a variety of genres, which will be discussed in seminars. Workshops and role-playing exercises in economics, globalization, writing and organizing for social change will be used. Students will write a series of analytical essays, and learn about popular education, participatory research, and academic methodologies. | education, labor, community and global justice, social services, history, law, nonprofit work, political economy and informed civic participation. | Anthony Zaragoza Jeanne Hahn | Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR | Fall | Fall | |||

Program | FR–SRFreshmen - Senior | 8, 12, 16 | 08 12 16 | Day and Evening | F 11 Fall | How much do you really know about the Salish Sea/Puget Sound region, its peoples, its landscapes, and its natural inhabitants? Come join us as we explore the intersection of place, culture, and health and how these factors reflect inequity in access to—and degradation of—resources in and around the Salish Sea. Central elements of this thematically based program will include the history of colonization and decolonization of Native peoples of the Salish Sea that accompanied European settlement, Indigenous rights, a critique of current policies and practices that have not promoted the achievement of social or health equity, the effect of industrialization on the health of the Salish Sea and non-human life forms, and the public health policies that may intervene to improve overall health and wellness in the surrounding communities. Both quarters will examine these themes through multiple lenses including political ecology, political economy, public health, and Native Studies. Our readings will include current case studies, empirical research, and counter-narratives.The learning community will work on understanding the consequences of privilege on an individual basis—how our individual behavior contributes to environmental degradation and social injustice, specifically the attempted genocide of Native Peoples. Students will learn about the fundamental relationships between our focus themes, as well as strategies that may more successfully address social justice and environmental issues. Learning will take place through writing, readings, seminars, lectures, films, art, and guest speakers. Students will improve their research skills through document review, observations, critical analysis, and written assignments. Oral speaking skills will be improved through small group and whole class seminar discussions and through individual final project presentations. Options for the final project will be discussed in the syllabus and in class with proposals that aim to improve community health, the sustainability of the Salish Sea, and for Native Communities many of whom have lived at its edge for thousands of years before European settlement.This program is a combined offering of Evening and Weekend Studies and the full-time, daytime curriculum. All students will meet in the evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students registering for 12 credits will complete a 4-credit in-program internship (10 hours per week). Students registering for 16 credits will meet in both the afternoons and evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays. | Nancy Anderson Frances V.

SOS | SO–SRSophomore - Senior | 16 | 16 | Day and Weekend | F 11 Fall | This is a program for students seriously interested in study-related or research projects involving an individually designed journey or travel. There is a long and revered tradition of humans embarking on journeys for the purpose of learning to develop self-awareness, get to know the world outside of what is familiar, engage in a spiritual quest, or expand the student's sense of what is possible. Travel has been a powerful academic, experiential and research component in the life of many scholars, artists, writers, mystics and scientists. For thousands of years, humans have developed intercultural awareness, valuable communication skills, resourcefulness, spiritual awareness, cultural understanding, and a sense of the relativity of their personal views by engaging in it. Travel can be deeply transformative. This program is an educational offering designed for self-directed students who desire to benefit from engaging in educational travel as part of their learning at Evergreen. Students interested in registering must have a project in mind that requires travel as a central component of their learning. Individual projects should involve or prepare for some form of travel for the purpose of learning, research, interdisciplinary studies, writing, volunteering, learning languages, studying historical events at their source, studying spiritual quests, understanding or studying other cultures, learning about a culturally relevant artifact or artistic expression at its source, developing a career in the leisure or tourism industry, or any combination thereof. Serious, self-directed and responsible students are encouraged to register. Students will spend the first one or two weeks finishing intensive preparatory research on their specific destinations, to acquaint themselves with the historical and cultural context of their place of destination, understand cultural norms, and study any relevant legal issues. Participants will prepare plans to be ready for emergencies or eventualities as well, since students will be responsible for making all necessary arrangements for their travel, room and board, as well as budgeting for individual expenses related to their projects. Once the initial preparation is completed, participants in the program will embark on their travel-related practicum or project, and report regularly to the faculty using a procedure negotiated in advance. Participants will be required to document their experience effectively in order to produce a final report. Participants will return to Olympia by week 10 to present the final report of their experience and project to the class at the Olympia campus, unless specifically arranged in advance with the faculty by week two. Please Note: This program is a Study Abroad academic offering. Those students who have demonstrated academic progress and who have projects that take more than a quarter are advised to negotiate an ILC with Ariel Goldberger to accommodate their learning needs. | the humanities, consciousness studies, cultural studies, arts, social sciences, and the leisure and tourism industry. | Ariel Goldberger | Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR | Fall | Fall | ||||

Program | JR–SRJunior - Senior | 8, 12 | 08 12 | Weekend | F 11 Fall | W 12Winter | S 12Spring | The purpose of this year-long program is to help students develop the skills needed to assess their communities, capture their observations, and articulate them in a useful form. Program participants will work to improve their written and verbal communication skills, ability to collect and analyze data, and think critically as they explore what makes communities work. We start with the proposition that success – professional or personal – is dependent in part upon being able to tell our story. Whether we are writing a business plan, a novel, or a job application, we need to get our message across, be understood, and hopefully motivate our audience to respond positively. The ability to explain ourselves, ask clearly for what we want, establish purpose, or give direction all involve telling a story. To explain, ask, and direct are all examples of relational activities that also help communities to function. Communities also have stories, as do communities within communities. We will examine who gets to construct and tell the meta-narrative of communities and why, how multiple and sometimes conflicting narratives of community develop, and strategies for developing more equitable access to constructing the story of community. The term "community" literally means a collective sharing of gifts (from the Latin: , "with/together" + , "gift"). Our class will itself become a community, in this case a learning community: a group of supportive individuals engaged in collective inquiry and analysis about what makes communities work. Students will work in teams as they learn research skills, participate in field activities, and keep a record of their progress through a variety of assignments, such as mapping, journaling, oral histories, and data analysis. Just as a story – and a community – has a beginning, middle, end, and sometimes a re-birth, this program will follow a similar pattern in its structure. Fall quarter will focus on how relationships start and how communities begin. Working from observations made from individual to collective levels, we will use literature, theoretical models, and system thinking activities to explore how formative experiences and events determine the structure and function of a community. During winter quarter, students will explore the practical day-to-day functioning of a community. Field research will involve exploring diverse experiences and multiple meanings embodied in a single community. This will involve the use of mixed media, interviews, and extensive writing to map and record the workings of a community. Students will test theoretical models of how systems work against the lives of community members interviewed, and what they can observe and record themselves. Spring quarter will focus on what causes communities to stop functioning. Using literature, primary source material and field research we will explore what keeps communities from sustaining themselves. Students will investigate the challenges communities face as they attempt to weather social, economic, geographic, and environmental changes. Students in the 12-credit option will choose a community-based organization that compliments program themes and do an in-program internship of 10 hours per week, plus a weekly thematic journal and final synthesis project integrating their community and academic work. Students will be responsible for selecting and contacting an organization to set up the internship with activities that serve the organization and student skills, goals, and interests. | government and public service, leadership, management, education, media, nonprofit organization, public health, social services | Suzanne Simons Carolyn Prouty Stephen Buxbaum | Sat | Junior JR Senior SR | Fall | Fall Winter Spring | |

Program | FR–SRFreshmen - Senior | 8, 12 | 08 12 | Evening | F 11 Fall | W 12Winter | Victorian Britons believed in the idea of progress. They believed that a nation, a culture, could "improve" itself; and indeed, Victorian England led the western world in the development of new ideas in science, economics, industrialization, technology, suffrage, and religious tolerance. At the same time, Britain "appeared as a colossus astride the world," with the most powerful army and navy of the time. British imperialists bragged that "the sun never set on the Union Jack," and London became the capital, the very heart of this economic political, and scientific-technical giant. During fall quarter, our focus is on the Industrial Revolution and its social, economic, and cultural consequences. In winter quarter, students will continue their exploration of Victoria's century, pushing the focus to the tensions emerging from British economic and imperial hegemony. We will see how some Victorians questioned the progress so hailed by others. Moving from the apex of British power and influence, we will study ways Britons struggled with an empire grown too big to control, challenges to traditional thinking in religion and science, and calls for reform and change. British novels, in particular, often deal with the consequences of rapid economic, social, cultural, and political change and how Victorians saw themselves and others in this evolving landscape. Thus, students can expect to study the literature of the era as works of art, social documents, and moral statements. Reading historians' analyses of the era provides the important background that enriches and informs any study of Victorian literature and art.We will see as well the ways in which the Victorian world shaped who we are and how we see ourselves in the 21 century. How did Victorians like Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, and others move us toward the modern world? Writers like George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans), Rudyard Kipling, Thomas Hardy, Oscar Wilde, and Joseph Conrad will provide a wide and complex picture of Victorian thinking. We will read histories by Eric Hobsbawm, Judith Walkowitz, and E. P. Thompson. We will also see film adaptations of some great Victorian fiction. Lectures, workshops, and seminar discussions will continue to be central activities for students and faculty in Winter quarter there will be a 12 credit option offered to students who began their work in fall quarter. The 12 credit group will meet every week for a seminar discussion of their assigned reading TBA.The assigned reading and writings assignments will supplement their other program work.Credits may be awarded in 19 Century British History and Culture, 19 Century English Literature, and the Geography of Empire.Students who complete this program will be well prepared for more advanced work in the humanities, particularly in history and literature. | teaching, literature, history | Susan Preciso Thomas Rainey | Mon Mon Wed Wed | Freshmen FR Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR | Fall | Fall Winter |

The Virgo full Moon stands across the sky from the Pisces Sun. Its job is to unite these two opposing and yet complementary energies.
When the Sun lights up Pisces, we step into the unseen realities of the cosmos. The last sign of the zodiac, Pisces symbolizes the soul's return to our source, as well as its immersion in the collective unconscious. To swim in the watery depths of life demands that we trust; trust gives birth to renewal.
At the moment, Pisces is full of diverse energies -- the Sun's search for purpose, Neptune's spiritual vision, Chiron's healing touch, Mars' desire to stand for the light, Mercury's dreaming mind and soon after this full Moon, Venus' compassionate love and wisdom. These are the energies that are bubbling within the cauldron of the collective unconscious, waiting to be incarnated.
It is the Moon who does the incarnating, just as the mother gives birth to the child. This Virgo full Moon helps us become aware of what our soul is here on Earth to incarnate. We've been at this for a while now. Do you recognize what it is you're called to do? The first step is to become conscious -- to know yourself! Just that is a big step.
Each sign manifests in different ways depending on whether it is the Moon or the Sun in a sign. While the Sun signifies our identity and life purpose, the Moon symbolizes how we're attuned to the world, how we take in nourishment and what we hunger for. This Virgo Moon wants to be the vehicle and servant of the Pisces Sun's message.
What does your heart want from you? What has been missing from your life? Pisces sets you longing, while Virgo sets out to make it happen.
Until next time,
Sweet Dreams!

Ringing in a New Year
A look at D.C.'s New Year's Eve gay happenings
By Doug Rule
Published on December 24, 2009, 2:38am | Comments
It's time for the good times -- forget about the bad times. Next Thursday, Dec. 31, you can toast to a better year ahead all across town, with most bars open late and offering party favors and drink specials, including complimentary champagne toast. Because what would New Year's Eve be without the bubbly? Or, for that matter, New Year's Day without the hangover? Nellie's, the DC Eagle and Phase One are among the spots offering free fizzy, favors and more. Halo will too, and for the last time by that name – the P Street lounge becomes MOVA the very next day.
For $20, Freddie's Beach Bar throws in drag cameos, an appetizer buffet and karaoke, starting as early as 4 p.m. For just $8, Omega throws in an 11 p.m. performance of the Men of Omega. At no cover JR.'s includes a balloon drop, filled with $300 in prizes. But if you'd rather eat than win swag, Annie's offers a ''midnight brunch.''
The Ziegfeld's/Secrets complex of dressed-up female illusionists and dressed-down male surrealists puts on a larger-than-life spectacle. With a cover of $15, Apex has Randy White spinning dance-pop in the Main Hall and Michael Brandon spinning Latin-pop in the East Wing lounge – and it's one of the few places that's 18 and up.
Over at Town Danceboutique, the crowd's 10 favorite songs of the decade play in a countdown beginning at midnight, while all night Ed Bailey upstairs and Wess downstairs spin tunes to jumpstart 2010 and even a new decade, the teens. X-Faction and the Ladies of Town also perform, with tickets costing $25 at the door or online.
Cobalt hosts the monthly alt-dance party Shift with DJ MAJR and guest DJ Aaron Riggins for a $10 cover. That's to be followed by something this town hasn't seen in years: a true after-hours party. DJ Drew G spins Friday, Jan. 1, starting at 8 a.m. until noon.
Remington's kicks off its two-stepping party at 8 p.m., with special entertainment and a $10 cover. And at EFN, the upstairs Motley Bar features a Top Songs of 2009 countdown – at no cover – with a ''Premiere Ball 2010'' downstairs featuring various vogue houses coming together for a party with a $300 prize. The ball's $20 cover includes VIP access to an after-party at Mirrors Nightclub. Meanwhile, Baltimore's Club Hippo hosts DJs Vince Christopher and Shawn Q from 10 p.m., with a $10 cover.
The Republic hosts the city's ''Biggest All Ladies'' bash starting at 9 p.m., with tickets $20 before Dec. 25 or $30 before Dec. 30. And then the Capitol Skyline Hotel hosts Brightest Young Things ''2010: A Space Fantasy," a mostly straight party but one that promoters are taking pains to make all-inclusive by featuring a ''gay room'' with DJ Shea van Horn.
Once you've toasted the New Year, it'll only be Friday, so keep the celebration going all weekend. Two particular outings of note for Saturday, Jan. 2: the next Homo/Sonic party at the Black Cat, which starts at 9 p.m. and features a $10 cover; and the debut of Town's new amateur-drag queen contest "So, You Think You're a Drag Queen?" with Bebe Benet, winner of RuPaul's Drag Race, serving as guest judge for the contest starting at 10:30 p.m.
Buh-bye aughts! Hello, teens. Things are looking up already!

Iam not sure how to use this as i have just signed up today but iam looking for my grandad John Barry who i have little info about, as far as i know he moved to liverpool. he has a son Lee Barry who was born in 1962 (whom is my dad). He married my gran in 1958 in middlesex. my grans name is now Joan Baldwin but she has been re - married, her name before she married my grandad (john barry) was joan akers. my gran was born in 1934 so im guessing he was born around about the same time. and was also from essex area. i cannot ask my dad or gran for any info as i no longer talk to them. if anyone knows of him or thinks they do could u message me please? i have never met him and would like to know if he had any other children like my half aunties or uncles. |

For over thirty years I have dealt with union and non-union businesses. In my honest opinion the non-union workers are harder, more productive workers and the companies are much easier to work with.
Does anyone know of an optometrist in the Charleston area that carries extra-wide eyeglass frames that are stylish and reasonably priced for women?
Asking if we want teachers armed and prepared to defend students, reminds me after 9/11 the issue arose about arming pilots. G.W. Bush opposed that idea, saying we would just shoot down the plane.
Republicans are more concerned about our children and grandchildren inheriting the national debt than they are about them being murdered by a crazed nut using an assault weapon.
Teachers are told to lock the door, darken the room and hide kids in the corner during a Code Red. I have a great big closet with a door that locks which would be much safer in a real emergency, but probably less safe in a drill, than putting kids in the corner. Teachers should be able to use discretion and take kids to the safest areas of the room in a real emergency -- just like the teacher from Sandy Hook who put the kids in the restroom.
No politician should be allowed to oppose gun control unless he or she is willing to let guns into the Capitol building, the galleries of Congress, or the White House, depending on their office. If we have to live with them, they should have to also.
Two more idiots with guns on the rampage last week. Thirty-four murders by guns every day in the U.S. When are we going to stand up and do something about this?
Liberals love to proclaim their 'pro-choice' beliefs except when it comes to joining unions.
To all you union haters: I would like to see all of you paid by company scrip and be required to live in company housing.
One guy tries to board a plane with a bomb in his underwear and everybody now has to be scanned or patted down to get through security. Thirty-one school shootings since Columbine and we do nothing.
I see the psychopathic and lumpish Republicans speaking daily against the defenseless poor in our society without just cause other than policies they themselves created. It's their financial policies that pay the poorest workers a minimum wage below the livable amount. Capito and the tea party of the GOP voted against a jobs bill that put us in this situation.
Keep Dr. Marple. Fire the incestuous state Board of Education.

(Okay, so I have no idea if this is going to work. But here's hoping!)
I tend to use Dr. Google to convince myself that whatever I'm feeling is normal. Not just during pregnancy, but in general. I HATE going to the doctor, so if I can convince myself it's nothing (and I try damm hard), I'm happy. But this has gotten me into trouble quite a bit. Apparently just because it happens to someone else does not mean it's normal... haha. Who knew?

Series opened Thunder -135 at Pinny.Big money on Thunder so far.Moving consensus number to . . . OKC $165 wins $100 (implying 61% chance of winning)Miami: $100 wins $145 (implying 39% chance of winning)Interesting to note that -150 is typical for home team in series if teams are considered evenly matched.So, series price opened (i.e., the bookies opinion) assuming Heat were slightly better, and now the betting market has weighed in that OKC is slightly better.What do you think?

Tremendous home court advantage for both teams. I think that OKC is a slightly better team, however I believe Miami will win this series. IMO they will be a more determined after getting close last year. Bosh has really energized them. Lebron seems to have found himself . Tremendous game six against the Celtics and after bouncing in the first half of game seven, awesome comeback in the second quarter. I am not taking anything away from OKC. Beating a team 4 straight after they won 20 in a row, Wow! The edge comes from the Heat being there last season! GL to everyone.
It's worth noting that in the NBA finals, the home court shifts to a 2-3-2 schedule, meaning OKC hosts games 1 & 2, Miami hosts games 3, 4, & 5, then if necessary back to OKC for games 6 & 7. If Miami can steal one of the first two games, they've got a great shot at winning the title.
I didn't know it was 2-3-2...I hammered OKC for the series and winning it 4-1 but I have always been dumb money. The two best teams were San Antonio and OKC and I have to back the winner of that match-up.

How far is a reasonable distance for someone to hike on their first trip?
+1 For test hike. Before all long hikes I ever did, I packed my FULL gear and went for a 1-day, 1-night hike. To make sure I feel fine with the combination of equipment I have, and also to see if I miss something or if I can't resign from something I have packed. As for weight, I once had a 30kg (60lb?) backpack, and had to cut a 2 week hike short to 5 days, and down to 12km(7.5 miles) a day instead of my planned 20km(12.5 miles). I was fit, but in retrospect I could have lost 6kg of weight in that backpack(2nd camera Lense, 2 books incase I got bored, inflatable pillow, ... you don't need it) |

I agree with both of your points, incrediBILL & AlexK; however this thread seems to somehow legitimize the use of certain programs as a method of advertising. Until now, I had never even heard of 'Xrumer' but some people might believe that because such a well-respected site like WebmasterWorld mentions it and some members say "xrumer is fine and can be very effective", its completely legit.
I just wanted to point out that before it was mentioned here on WebmasterWorld, I'd never see such a high amount of forum spam on our forums since we started them in 2002 like I'm seeing today.
After digging around for information on 'xrumer', I came to the conclusion that it's a very popular program among blackhats, mostly people who wish destroy the open and democratic nature of the web and social communities just to make a quick buck (usually) trying to scam people.
On actual forum spam posts, we've seen a pretty sizeable decline, mainly because its so difficult now to get past some filters I've created, along with some anti-spam services; posting is also banned from much of the third world now.

It's just crap she's already published in other places
Completely subjective accounts of paranormal activity.
Misleading chapters.
chapters that seem to be commentary on popular TV shows about the paranormal.
Accounts that sound like a person suffering from delusions and pulling a gun on some poor soul.
A chapter entitled, Grabbed At becomes a story of when she was at a WalMart and saw some Hispanic man who she claimed had black eyes. Thats it. Then she was angry that the WalMart staff refused to call the cops for no reason on some random customer that Ms Bryan was suspicious about.
In The Shooting. Here Melissa Bryan recounts an event when she was 11 years old, she supposedly got shot by a rifle with the bullet miraculously turns into a paint ball, completely discounting the probability that she was just shot with a paintball gun in the first place.
Spirit Bear, recounts an event as a child where she broke another students nose because she was being possessed by a bear.
The Phantom Truck; Meliss and her husband see a truck on the road and imagine nobody was driving it.
Healing Hands; Melissa claims to heal the sick.
Most of the chapters which are a just a paragraph or two tell a tale of someone who has regular delusions and think they are all real. Its not a book about a medium or mediumship. Its just some lady in New Mexico who has a lot of hallucinations and thinks people should believe her. The book is very short, only a handred or so pages.
The kicker to me is when I googled her name on the Internet. I found a wealth of information on Melissa or Missy as some people call her. Shes got a long history of harassing and bulling people. If somebody criticizes her in any way they become subject to her wrath. If I reviewed her book on Amazon Id have to use my real name and she would begin a harassment campaign on me. She would find out where I live and who I work for. Then she would publish my name and address asking people to attack me at my home. She would call members of my family and my friends and even my employer. Since Im retired I dont really care if she calls my employer, but I dont need this person bothering people I care about.
People should steer clear of this book and Melissa Bryan. The book not worth the princely sum of $20. Its nothing more than the ruminations of somebody who is quite evidently mentally ill. The book is a complete ripoff unless you are a voyeur of crazy people.

SUBMITTED: Monday, January 07, 2013
What Melissa does of so often is violate the first amendments right of people. According to her "theory," if she says it, it's automatically true. Anyone with a different opinion is automatically wrong and if they come out and say that they disagree they are automatically criminals. On the very surface this is prejudicial. But she doesn't just say it, she tries to convince real law enforcement officers and agents of the courts that her rights have been violated, in some cases officials have actually done what she's demanded, to shut her up presumably.
It never works. She simply takes any little progress as a great victory and goes after people that much harder. If she had her way, nobody would dare say anything unless it was in agreement with Melissa Bryan. What kind of a world would that be?

Leaving Missy alone does nothing

SUBMITTED: Sunday, January 06, 2013
Ignoring Missy does nothing. She disappeared from the other RR thread only when her own neighbors began to fight back. Those of us who have been her victims continue to monitor her online activities so we may have our personal information removed as soon as possible after she posts it, but that's our right. As long as she posts on public sites, it's our right to read and discuss her activities. We will continue to do so because we have learned that fighting back is the only thing that makes dear Missy back down. In this case, ignoring the troll is, in fact, feeding it.
You are new to Missy. Some of us have been dealing with her for over five years (when she first trolled us, then accused us of being her stalkers and began to actually stalk US) and her poor neighbors have been dealing with her for even longer. Don't presume to tell us how to deal with this creature just because you've been reading a couple of Ripoff Report or message board threads.

No. Melissa and her husband don't seem to work quite like that. I read about how those two would get a name of a website admin or editor of some blog and call and email and mail death threats until the content disappeared. Over the next year or two as the shitstorm rained down from all of the users (trolls?) Whose 2nd amendment rights were flushed so missy could have her way, Melissa and her idiot husband continued to stalk and harass the admins from that site while the users rallied the armies of 4chan and Encyclopediadramatica. Now Melissa and Dan can't post anything online anywhere without trolls pouring out of every malware inspired popup. She's too lazy to get a job, so she comes up with a scheme to answer surveys and sample products for income which amounts to nothing more than continuing to fill out every form and offer from every uth and with generation of publishers clearing house. The flood of malfunctioning telemarketer auto dialer and barely-engrish-speeeking telemarketers lead her to amp up her responding death threats, mistaking them for stalkers prank calling her so they can steal her identity, her success, and her cat. Her local police are sick of the outrageous conspiracy theories that amount to little more than what normal people put up with in every day life, only Melissa and Dan get unbelievable upset about everything and act as though they have some ability to bring the wrath of god down on other people.
Thank God they are just a couple of uneducated big mouths who lack both the revenue and the balls to carry out any of their fraudulent scams, murder sprees, or any event anywhere at any time of the year that involve children or feeding her instant cakes and kool aid soda to.

As for the first person that commented...You're an idiot...Melissa Bryan is a bully..period...She's also a stalker she stalks people she thinks are after her, her family, friends and everything she has...In the first place she has nothing...Myself along with a group of my friends were stalked by her for almost a year. It wasn't pleasant to say the least..We'd ban her she'd come in under a new name using a proxy...It got old fast...She tired to have someone who had nothing to do with her charged with stalking...It cost him a a small fortune to get that taken care of...In the end she lost....Of course she said it was the stalkers fault she lost because they paid off the judge...From now on unless you have your facts straight you need to still those fingers...Why you'd even come here anyway...Did she send you like she does one of her so called best friends and cousin? Sure does sound like it...If you don't like what's posted here then stay away...Oh wait..You can't you have to report back to your boss...Missy...

Just like if you don't care for what I have to say, you are quite welcome to close your browser and go somewhere else. Or you can continue to comment and try to put people down for commenting on Ms Bryan's book full of nonsense. That is your privilege. Think however that Melissa Bryan does NOT grant you the same privilege. If you critique her book and if she knows who you are, she will harass you. Pray, tell that is OK in your book?

Murray State begins summer practiceMURRAY KY. -- Once again this summer, NCAA rules allow college basketball teams to practice in the summer with kids who are enrolled in summer classes. Murray State is taking full advantage of that as they begin individual workouts with full team practices beginning Wednesday. "Its different this year not having guys like Isaiah, Ed, and Stacey around." Racers Head Coach Steve Prohm said. "Its a new start and an opportunity to work with some of the new guys on what we need to accomplish before the season." Prohm is approaching this summer a little differently that last. This summer will consist of team workouts instead of individual. "Last year we had so much experience that we didn't need to work on team drills," Prohm said. "Now we are focusing on what defense we need to run and what works with the guys we have." |

NHL Free Agency 2013: 3 Teams Still in Desperate Need of Physicality
By Erik Cotton ,
Jason Arnott is one of the few free agents left that brings a physical presence to the game.
While the initial rush of NHL free agency occurred in July, the uncertainty brought upon by the lockout means several veteran players remain without jobs. Teams with holes to fill are left in limbo while the two sides continue to argue about who's greedier. So which of these teams desperately need to add some physicality to their rosters?
You'll find all types of opinions on what constitutes a "physical" player. It doesn't necessarily mean the guy has to drop the gloves all the time.
However, it does mean he'll stick up for his teammates. He's also someone you can trust to win a battle in the corner or in front of the net, which is a lot of the time the difference between winning and losing.
We're going to look at three different teams that are lacking in those areas, and pair each one of them up with a current unrestricted free agent that fits what they need.
White has made a career out of being a physical, stay-at-home defenseman.
It's tough to criticize a team and an organization that's made the playoffs in 21 consecutive seasons. The Detroit Red Wings are a team with few weaknesses.
They're gifted offensively, yet responsible in their own zone.
But gone are the days when they had gritty character guys like Darren McCarty, Kirk Maltby, Tomas Holmstrom and Kris Draper to complement their stars.
The free-agent signing of RW Jordin Tootoo was an indication GM Ken Holland knew they had to get tougher.
And although, at 35, Colin White isn't the top-four defenseman he was for more than a decade with the New Jersey Devils, he's still a serviceable sixth or seventh blueliner who would bring some much-needed physical play to the Wings' back end.
All eyes will be on Niklas Kronwall this season with the retirement of Nicklas Lidstrom. White could help ease the physical burden No. 55 is expected to shoulder.
Holmstrom could still chip in 15 to 20 goals on the Penguins.
If ever there was a team and a player that seemed perfect for each other for one year, it's Tomas Holmstrom and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
With that said, there's no certainty the opportunity to sign Holmstrom will be there for the Pens once the lockout is over.
According to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press, the 39-year-old Swede has yet to decide whether or not he's playing this season. He's also indicated Detroit is the only team he'd play for if he does return.
However, the allure of playing with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin as well as taking one more run at a Cup may be enough to convince Holmstrom otherwise. If Pittsburgh comes calling, he'd be foolish not to at least listen.
The 15-year veteran is still capable of planting himself in front of opposing goalies on the PP. And with the Pens' talent, he could certainly come close to the 20-goal plateau again for the sixth time in his career.
Pittsburgh is another team lacking those gritty, physical guys that help win championships, so adding Holmstrom makes sense for a team that bowed out in the first round last year.
Arnott has been a model of consistency throughout his career.
Out of the remaining unrestricted free agents, Jason Arnott is the most accomplished.
Although the 38-year-old is not a top-six forward anymore, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better option as a third-line center.
He's always had a well-rounded game, and the Ducks are pretty thin up the middle. After Ryan Getzlaf and Saku Koivu, there's no incumbent player on Anaheim's roster who offers as much as Arnott does.
Plus, the departure of George Parros leaves a pretty-gaping hole as far as team physicality goes. That's something the 6'5" veteran would make up for as well.
Coming off a 17-goal season with the offensively challenged St. Louis Blues, his scoring ability hasn't completely disappeared either.
Having a center with size who can hit, win faceoffs and still has a bullet shot is a rarity in today's NHL—not to mention, one with 400 career goals whose scored a Stanley Cup-clinching, OT winner (with the New Jersey Devils in 2000).
If the price is right, Anaheim could do a lot for their playoff hopes by signing Arnott. Then again, so could 90 percent of the rest of the league.

MidAmerican Energy Looks to Raise Rates in IowaBy Forrest Saunders, Reporter
IOWA CITY, Iowa - MidAmerican Energy is requesting an increase of their base electric rates. If approved, it'd be the first time they've been upped since 1995.
The proposal, before the Iowa Utilities Board, would increase the company's revenue by about $136 million over three years. From 2013 to 2016, the average customer's monthly bill would bump up about $2.70-- about a $35 increase each year. MidAmerican says the increase will help cut their operating and maintenance costs. One Iowa City man urged officials to think of those on fixed incomes before making a decision. "They pay a much higher percentage of their monthly budget on utilities. I want us all to remember the people here not wearing the $500, or $2,000 suits," said Mike Carberry, from Iowa City. The Utilities Board's final decision deadline is March 17th 2014. Until then, MidAmerican has applied for a temporary rate increase, which needs board approval by August 15th.
