Fall 2003
HIS 309K • Western Civ in Medieval Times
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
36220 to 36225 | Multiple Sections |
Course Description
This course will provide an introduction to the political, social, cultural, and economic development and history of Europe from the fall of the Western Roman Empire to the discovery of the New World. The course will establish a framework of how Europe and the Mediterranean developed over one thousand years. We will discuss the loss and reappearance of public life over these centuries, the maintenance of knowledge, and the rise and fall of socio/political groups. It is important to recognize that the "West" as defined in the course includes at different times parts of Europe, North Africa, and the much of the Middle East as well because all these diverse regions were part of integrated system of relationships that had profound effects upon one another.
Some of the prominent themes will be: the fall of the Roman world, the feudal world, the formation of what became the modern European states, the role of the Catholic Church, and the Renaissance and discovery of the New World. The goal of the course, however, is not simply to transmit the who, what, where and when of the past, but to provide an understanding of WHY these events developed as they did. Through this approach, hopefully, you will gain a greater appreciation of both history and your own experiences.
Grading Policy
Mid-Term: 30% 2 map quizzes: 15% each Final: 40% The mid-term will be one large essay question and several identification questions, the final will be the same with a second comprehensive essay as well. In the essays, you will be expected to identify the main developments and aspects of some element of European history in the course of an argument on the topic. The ID questions will require you to identify the events surrounding a date, event, or person and explain its larger significance.

You know how you'll hear a film described as a "troubled production?" Most of the time you hear that part way through filming or after it's completed (and the release date has been moved several times). It's rare that a movie can earn that label on its first day of shooting.
That happened yesterday when director Lynne Ramsay didn't show up for the first day of filming "Jane Got a Gun," a movie starring Natalie Portman, Joel Edgerton, and Jude Law. Portman is one of the producers. So picture, if you can, everyone on set, actors in costume and make up, crew unpacking equipment, craft services set up, and producer Scott Steindorff had to call everyone together and say, "Uh, no filming today because the director didn't show up, and that is her way of saying she's quitting."
Steindorff told Deadline:
I have millions of dollars invested, we're ready to shoot, we have a great script, crew and cast," Steindorff told Deadline. "I'm shocked and so disappointed someone would do this to 150 crew members who devoted so much time, energy, commitment and loyalty to a project, and then have the director not show up. It is insane somebody would do this to other people. I feel more for the crew and their families, but we are keeping the show going on, directors are flying in, and a replacement is imminent.
Steindorff also announced that he has retained legal counsel for what will undoubtedly be a nasty lawsuit. Ramsay, meanwhile, needs a crack PR team.
Ramsay is probably best known for directing the well-received "We Need to Talk About Kevin." It's bad to quit a movie a few days before production is supposed to begin; it's downright disrespectful and unprofessional to just not show up the first day. There had apparently been some trouble between Ramsay and the producers over the last week, but why not quit then? Why not drop out on Monday? I know, we haven't heard her side of the story yet, but I find it hard to believe that she didn't know at least the day before that she just wanted out. I don't know–as I said, we haven't heard her side yet, but it's going to have to be a pretty amazing reason to explain this.
"Jane" also had some upheaval a few weeks ago when Michael Fassbender dropped out of the cast, reportedly due to his schedule for "X-Men: Days of Future Past." They bumped Joel Edgerton into Fassbender's role and hired Jude Law to play the role Edgerton was originally slated to play.
Anyway, we have a happy ending–or at least a new beginning. Deadline reports that Gavin O'Connor has stepped in and amazingly, will begin production on Thursday. I can't even imagine how he's going to do this with one day to plan. Just shoot tons of coverage for every scene and then hope to put it together in editing? Yikes. O'Connor is best known for directing "Tumbleweeds," "Miracle," and "Warrior." He also directed the pilot for the hit FX series "The Americans."
Brian Duffield wrote the script for "Jane Got a Gun." It's about "a woman whose outlaw husband returns home riddled with bullets. Convinced his gang will return to finish him off and destroy her farm, the woman turns to an ex-lover she hasn't seen in a decade to help her defend the farm." Good luck to them.

I hope this forum lives up to its name, because I need some professional help! I'm at my wits end trying to select anti-aging products to use and need some guidance. What is actually effective at getting rid of crows feet, bags, and wrinkles!? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Face peeling or plastic surgery. Once the lines, wrinkles and the sags and bags are there....they can't be removed, advertising not withstanding. The best measures are preventative, lots of water, no smoking, staying out of the sun good nutrition and the use of anything that will seal the moisture into your skin....anything from vasoline to the highest priced cream works. Linda C |
- Posted by socks12345 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 27, 07 at 14:58
You can do some online research at cosmeticscop.com. |
Once you've got them, only surgery can get rid of them, as Linda said. You can make them look a bit softer by moisturizing, that's it. "Anti-aging" is a myth and marketing bonanza. |
Ask a dermatologist about a topical retinoid. Such as Retn-A micro,Tazerac,or differin gel. They have collegon building properties and are being prescribed by doctors now for wrinkles. Also look into NEOSTRATA products through your dermatologist. They contain PHA,which is a milder form of AHA's and can really make a difference with wrinkles and smoothing out the skin.They are a much higher percentage than anything you'd buy over the counter,which is why you have to get it from a doctor. |
Once you have it, you have it. Surgery is the only remedy and the gals I've known that had plastic surgery were very disapointed in the results. Aging is nothing to be ashamed of. Live w/ it! |
That's not true vannie! Retinoids can help get rid of fine lines and wrinkles.Maybe not the very deep ones,but many women can see a difference using it. Also,PHAs and AHAs make a huge difference in the tone and firmness of the skin. It wont be as dramatic as a face lift,but it can help with skin's overall appearance. Exspecially if you start using it before wrinkles have gotten too bad. At 30 I have yet to see a wrinkle,while I notice others younger than me already have a few. I chalk it up to staying out of the sun,and my usage of retinoids. |
Deep cleaning and exfoliating are crucial, imo, in getting any products you use to do their job; the best wrinkle cream in the world won't be effective if you are putting it on top of dead skin. I like to get professional facials every new season, say twice in a row, then I'm sure my skin is well cleaned, I'm not good at doing this at home properly. I use an exfoliating mask once a week on my own, the type that has to be on for 5 minutes, then you can wash it off in the shower. Easy enough as maintenance. |
The fine lines and wrinkles that "retinoids" get rid of are insignificant. If it pleases you to use these things and examine your face inder magnification and find some difference in fine lines, so be it. As for 30 and have yet to see a wrinkle? Sorry...but I am LAMO!!30 year olds don't have wrinkles unless you have experienced some mighty hard livin'! At 36 I was carded! I repeat...no ciggies, no sun baths, lots of water...but if you haven't heeded the warnings...it's too late for anything but surgery... Linda C |
Bull,30 year olds DO have wrinkles! Heck,people UNDER 30 have them. It's called sun damage and smoking and drinking.My husband had wrinkles at 25. Unless you personally have tried retinoids,Lindac,then DO NOT knock it! Because the acne forum I'm on,All the old ladies speak very highly of it. |
With fake tanning booths being so popular as they are,I have seen girls half my age with wrinkles already...it has nothing to do with living a hard life.It has more to do with common sense.People know tanning is bad but do it anyways. |

I would think regularly investing in Botox treatments ought to help, but I have never used Botox. I suspect the earlier you use it the better. I have great skin for my age, and it is because I did not sit in the sun. I smoked a little eons ago, and I don't drink enough water. I wash my face with bar soap and use cream on my face every now and then. I also had a dad with great skin, and I inherited it. But then I did not damage the skin in the sun or with tanning booths either. |
A good, caring, results-oriented aesthetician makes all the difference. I found that the dermatologist or cosmetic surgeons want to go right into aggressive treatments. And they're so expensive. Depending on where you live, a series of anti-aging facials will cost $50 to $100 each and the aesthetician can recommend a home skincare plan will make all the difference. Sure, it won't make wrinkles go away but facials will help stimulate new skin cell growth and maintain what you have. (By the way, yes, that aforementioned website looks shady but I was also accused of being spam when I shared a home beauty recipe that was garden related. I was afraid to come back...) |

Read more about the project
The Airport Development Project (ADP) in Egypt was completed by the end of FY 2009. Under this project the government of Egypt received a total of $335 million of IBRD financing (plus an additional financing of $40 million) for the construction of the third terminal at Cairo International Airport ("CAI" with investments of $285 million), the new terminal at Sharm El Sheikh Airport ("SSH", with investments of $42 million), and consultancy services for both airports at about $8 million.The outcome of the project's three components is considered to be highly satisfactory. Component 1, the construction of Terminal Building 3 ("TB3"), has more than doubled the capacity of CAI to 11 million passengers annually. The total built up area is 209,274 m3, including the associated buildings are the power plant, sewage plant, water tank of 18,000 m3 and apron control tower. The terminal is equipped with an advanced IT system, and latest technology in baggage handling system. The project meets the ICAO standards as well as Egyptian seismic codes. Inaugurated on December 18, 2008, the terminal was partially opened for traffic in April 2009 for a ramp up period which ended in July 2009, with all Egypt Air flights and its partners in Star Alliance moved to TB3.Component 2, the construction of the new terminal building in Sharm El Sheikh Airport which can accommodate 4.5 million passengers per year, is bringing the capacity of SSH airport to a total of 7 million passengers. The first domestic flight landed on April 16, 2007 under a trial period and the official inauguration took place on May 24, 2007 with the full opening to commercial flights on June 11, 2007.The new terminal TB3 is recognized as a modern and efficient airport infrastructure handling up to 11 million passengers. Component 3 had as objective the strengthening of sector operations and environmental management. In accordance with the project liberalization study, the following measures were taken:
In terms of airport management capacity building, the following results were achieved:
Furthermore, studies on the national strategy of developing air cargo, the national airport master plan, and the environment management review were also completed as planned.

Electrolux is now licensing its Frigidaire brand in North America to Artisan Manufacturing for use on a high-end line of sinks and faucets. Appliance OEM Electrolux owns dozens of brands and has been actively licensing them outside North America for years. Its Electrolux Global Brand Licensing (EGBL) business, formed in 2007, is now seeking to expand brand licensing in North America as well. Artisan is one of its first North American brand partners. "We've been active in Europe, the Far East, and Middle East," said Matt Young, who heads EGBL, "but in the field of corporate brands, this business model is not commonly found in the U.S., Canada, or Mexico, so we're very excited about the possibilities." The Artisan sinks and faucets were introduced at the recent 2012 Kitchen/Bath Industry Show.

Full-time job: Broomhead calls for board revolution
PUBLISHED: 16 Nov 2012 00:05:58 | UPDATED: 16 Nov 2012 04:39:39PUBLISHED: 16 Nov 2012 PRINT EDITION: 16 Nov 2012Asciano's Malcolm Broomhead ... "There's a high expectation on directors to know quite a lot of detail . . . you can't say, 'we've been told', you've got to satisfy yourself." Photo: Louie Douvis
Jenny Wiggins
Prominent company director and former chief executive Malcolm Broomhead wants management to take over most board responsibilities, partly because of the time being consumed by rising litigation risks and red tape.
Independent directors would be members of non-executive advisory boards and represent shareholders' monitoring interests.
Mr Broomhead, chairman of ports and rail group Asciano and a non-executive director for BHP Billiton, says boards spend too much time on compliance and legal issues, reducing the time they have for monitoring shareholder returns.
"We're all sort of ignoring the problem at the moment," Mr Broomhead told The Australian Financial Review after Asciano's annual general meeting in Sydney yesterday.
"The only logical answer is that boards become full-time." All BHP directors are independent except for chief executive Marius Kloppers.
The settlement this year of a $200 million class-action lawsuit against property group Centro, which alleged directors misled investors in a 2007 financial report, underscored the increased legal risk of being a director, he said.
"There's a high expectation on directors to know quite a lot of detail . . . you can't say, 'we've been told', you've got to satisfy yourself."
Most directors have limited knowledge of the companies they represent
The Australian Securities Exchange's recommendation that a majority of board directors be independent meant most directors had limited knowledge of the companies they represented, he said.
Mr Broomhead proposes a model by which companies' executive management teams take over most board responsibilities, even compliance.
Directors not part of the executive management team could become part of a separate advisory board. "It gets back to the original purpose of boards, which is that they are sort of a sage, a sounding board for issues."
However, while other directors agree too much time is spent on compliance (which now accounts for about one quarter of time spent on board commitments), they disagree radical change is necessary.
Naseema Sparks, a non-executive director of several listed companies including PMP and Shadforth Financial Group, said boards made up only of executive directors risked indulging in "group think".
Value in non-executive directors
"Part of the value of the board is that they are independent and not weighed down by day-to-day management responsibilities," Ms Sparks said.
Elizabeth Proust, chairman of Nestle Australia and a director on several other boards, said boards needed to make the present system work and should not outsource legal risks to management.
"Within the Australian system, we largely have the balance right between what executives and boards do and what each is accountable for. I think we need evolution and fine-tuning, not revolution."

The sauce portion of recipe was made exact, but to the 'goodies' ingrediants I added mini corn cobs, broccilli florets, red bell pepper chunks, green onions and because I was out of noodles, used shredded cabbage. This is the kind of recipe you can add whatever 'goodies' you like and it's still great. You could even make double the s..."
"Excellent! Even with my errors this dish is great! Added two crushed garlic cloves and some copped fresh chives to butter mixture and sauted a little before adding milk. The crust over the Halibut is great. Thanks for a great recipe!"

What is a Tournament Kit?
At the beginning of 2014, we divided our seasonal Organized Play kits into Tournament Kits and Game Night Kits. Tournament Kits are for our competitive games, such as Android: Netrunner and X-Wing. These kits now include more prize support and promotional material designed to support competitive or casual tournament play at local retailers. The kit includes a guide to supporting an eight-week tournament series, but it can also be used to host a single tournament, more casual game nights or leagues, or whatever suits your local play environment best. Game Night Kits are for our cooperative games, such as Descent: Journeys in the Dark Second Edition and The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game.
In addition, each Summer 2014 Warhammer: Diskwars Tournament Kit contains two card boxes, exclusive acrylic tokens, and 19 alternate art cards—stunning, full-bleed alternate art versions of Arcane Assault (two copies) and Rally
(17 copies).
Please note: The alternate art cards in this kit are produced through FFG's In-House Manufacturing, and as such, they may appear slightly different in color and texture from the game's other cards. To be tournament legal, these cards must be sleeved with opaque or art sleeves.
What's in the Summer 2014 Warhammer: Diskwars Tournament Kit?
Each Summer 2014 Warhammer: Diskwars Tournament Kit comes with everything a retailer needs to support and grow a local community:

despite the loss, an exciting home opener. the team looked good, fast pace, at at times dominated when at full strength. encouraged by the new guys, especially Lipton, who once played on team Canada. thought pesquale looked a little shaky, especially on the third goal when he dropped his stick, and it slipped through on the blocker side. looking forward to a better season than last. go caps go!

Catspaw Ranch
Navajo River Watershed view south from Wolf Creek Pass.
The Fund is committed to working with ranching families to protect their lands and save their unique American way of life. In 2008, we helped conserve nearly 8,700 acres of Catspaw Ranch, located in Archuleta County. Working with Catspaw's owners, we were able to protect their ranch through a Forest Legacy Program conservation easement, an agreement that permanently restricts the type and amount of development on the landowner's property. This land preservation agreement complements other ongoing conservation efforts in the Navajo River watershed, the system of lands and waters linked to the river.
Our Efforts In The Navajo River Watershed
We have been involved in the conservation of lands within Navajo River watershed since 2000, protecting nearly 20,000 acres in the region. The Navajo River, one of Colorado's most wild and remote rivers, rises in the rugged South San Juan Wilderness in the area south of Wolf Creek Pass.
The Colorado Conservation Partnership (CCP), a coalition of five of Colorado's leading conservation organizations, including The Conservation Fund, identified this area as a high conservation priority because it borders existing protected lands and is one of the few remaining intact and pristine areas in the state.
Our partners in protecting Catspaw Ranch include the Colorado State Forest Service, the U.S. Forest Service, and Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO). Over the years, GOCO provided critical funding for our efforts in the Navajo River watershed, contributing nearly $5 million in lottery funds to place conservation easements on working ranches. GOCO provided matching funds for the Catspaw Ranch easement.
Forest Legacy Program
The Forest Legacy Program is a federally-funded program of the U.S. Forest Service that partners with states to support and protect environmentally sensitive forest lands. To maximize public benefits, the program focuses on the acquisition of portions of privately owned forest lands. It accomplishes this by purchasing conservation easements without removing the property from private ownership. Most of the easements restrict development, require sustainable forestry practices and protect other values at risk. Forest Legacy projects compete nationally for funding and are required to have matching funds in place.

Orlando Vacations
Experience Orlando on your vacation
Go for an adrenaline rush on a roller coaster. Peer into the mouth of an alligator. Play a round on a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course. Or relax with an aromatherapy massage. This theme-park paradise is also home to museums, scenic trails and a thriving nighttime scene.
Let Orbitz help you plan your Orlando vacation with insider tips, hotel recommendations and pointers on great travel discounts. Start with our most popular picks, or choose a theme that fits your interests, budget and needs.
Best time to take a vacation to Orlando
Orlando is busy year-round, so plan your getaway well in advance. Tourist season peaks from late May to Labor Day, when the youngsters are on summer vacation. Families also flock to Orlando in the weeks before and after Christmas and Easter, but with a little preparation (sunscreen, bottled water) you can brave the long lines and heavy traffic.
If you can take the kids out of school, consider less popular times, such as right after Labor Day through the week before Thanksgiving, or post-Thanksgiving until mid-December. Keep an eye out for large conventions -- they can affect rates any time of year.
Weather-wise, Florida means sunshine, but don't be alarmed by a mid-afternoon drizzle. Summer's a scorcher, and humidity drives the heat index well into the 100s.
Insider tips for Orlando travel

I am looking for a simple relatively small mirrored medicine cabinet. I want one for each side wall where the vanity is. (I will have pretty mirrors for over the sinks). The main purpose for them is to hide the electric shaver and toothbrush, so I am looking for electrified ones with receptacles/plugs. I have found Robern, but are there any that are cheaper? I don't need anything fancy, like the mirrors on the inside, etc.
Is it easy to buy an inexpensive mirrored medicine cabinet and add the receptacle later? Or is it hard to cut into the metal/plastic/wood? Any recommendations? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's quite easy to cut a hole in a wood cabinet to add the receptacle; I had my contractor do that and he didn't complain. I'll link to one of my favorite bathroom threads. If you scroll down, you can see that they did this with plain medicine cabinets from Home Depot, and it looks great. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Stephanie and Tim's finished bath

Chapter 20: Spending Our Last Moments at Epcot
January 4th, 2013 I woke up at 8:30 am and was so sad I had to leave that day. Thankfully I would be back VERY soon... but I would miss my family. And the YaCHt Club. I got ready and packed up all of my stuff. All week the under armor football team was staying at our resort, and today was the day of their big game! It was just so funny because you could totally pick out the big football players as opposed to all of the other guests. I couldn't believe they were in high school - they looked like grown men! On this day all of their families, coaches, and recruiters were coming out. It was a big deal! I posted on twitter: The under armor games football team is taking over the yacht club. Now this... this was one of my favorite moments of the trip right here. Mom and I went to Beach Club Marketplace and it was really cold out. So we walked in that little indoor pathway by Yachtsman Steakhouse to stay warm. We saw a Cast Member training 3 CPs for Concierge. He said hello to us and asked what I was celebrating when he saw my button. I told him that I was celebrating my upcoming college program! He got all excited! He asked what role, what resort, and just was so happy for me! He then proceeded to go on and on spewing out my EXACT life plan. He said Disney likes to take their CM's from the bottom up. So youll probably do your CP, a second CP, a Professional internship, become a manager, and eventually be a VP of one of the divisions. I literally said to him, how did you know!? I took it as a sign because the way it happened was just too crazy. Like my Mom says, God must've planned that one! I am about to embark on an incredible journey! I posted on twitter: So a manager just perfectly explained to me my life plan w/ the Disney company starting with the CP & working my way up #doingtherightthing And he didn't even know me. I'm taking it as a sign. #Newbeginnings I'm leaving today but I just know that this is the start of something wonderful (: #SOexcited #18days I traded some pins, we got some breakfast, (I just got a little thing of Rice Krispies) and then we went back to the room to finish packing. We went downstairs, checked in for our flights, and checked our bags right at the resort. BEST CONVENIENCE EVER. Then we went back up to the room, got our carry on luggage, and brought it to the car. From there we went over to Epcot! Dad and I went straight to Test Track to get more fastpasses. Mom and Jon went to The Land and would meet us there. Test Track was absolutely MOBBED. It was awful. I waited in a very long line just to get fastpasses. They were for 2:35 pm 3:35 pm which would thankfully work for us. We went to The Land so we could go to Sunshine Seasons for lunch! I was still SUPER full from Ohana but I figured I needed to eat. I posted on twitter: I can't handle anything more than a kids meal right now. #ohanahangover Jon and I both got Kids Mac and Cheese. It was SUPER good and it was such a perfect portion. You get the mac and cheese, 2 sides, and a little bottle of water for like $6. Its a really good deal. Jon also got Asian Chicken, Mom got a salad, and Dad got some chicken. But did they take food pictures? NO. Have I taught them nothing!?! Even though I was SO full I still had to get Strawberry Shortcake. I cant resist that stuff!! It's just so cold, the strawberries are so fresh, and the frosting is so fluffy! Epcot was SO CROWDED but the line for Living with the Land was only about 10-15 minutes. So we hopped in line! At least that was relaxing and enjoyable. Look at the little shrimp around the hidden mickey! Then we went on Figment! Always a classic. World Showcase was next. We walked to the UK, but then Jon and I decided we wanted to go on Gran Fiesta Tour. So we backtracked to Mexico! It had the longest line I have ever seen for this attraction. I posted on twitter: Welp. I know every word to the three caballeros song on the gran fiesta tour. #notmad Then we went back to Canada and met up with Mom and Dad. They saved us seats so we could watch Off Kilter! Random, I know. But like WHY HAVE I NOT WATCHED THEM BEFORE!? I posted on twitter: Watching Off Kilter in the misty and cool wether. Yup, just like the real Canada! Dad LOVES watching the bands in the World Showcase. That's literally all he wanted to do this day. But I mean... they were really good! Im so glad I finally had a chance to watch their show! That has to be such a great gig for them. They played the song Danny Boy which I sang in chorus my junior year of high school! I was so happy. Little side story apparently when Preston was younger, he found this random burned CD in his yard so he took it inside and listened to it. It was of this band called Off Kilter and he really liked them, but could never find anything about them. So when he went to Disney during his senior year of high school, he was at Epcot and he realized that Off Kilter performed in Disney. I swear, this kid and I were meant to be together. Too weird. So anyways around 3 pm we went to use our Test Track FPs. The line was still INSANE and it took about 20 minutes for us to get on the ride. Not terrible, but ya know. It was a good ride and a great way to start and end the trip! We walked out after that and went back to the Yacht Club. It was so cold and misty as we left the most wonderful place on earth. Bye, bye Yacht Club. I posted on twitter: The Yacht Club and I are now going to have to be in a long distance relationship. I will miss you, beautiful. We hopped in Brooke and drove to the airport. We parked her at the airport in long term parking so I could get her when I come down for my DCP! We went in the airport, got some Quiznos for dinner, and went through security. We flew JetBlue home. I spent the entire ride home typing up my trip journal which gave me a great head start on this trip report. Also, Jons headphone jack wasnt working for the TV so JetBlue gave us a $15 voucher! That was really nice. We arrived back home to the COLD. Yuck. We rented a car so we could drive it home, and I think I suffered one of my most unpleasant and coldest moments of my life when we were in that parking garage. People were just being crazy drivers, it was SO windy, and it was BEYOND freezing. Reality shock hurts, man. I would have been legitimately angry if I wasn't moving to Disney world in a couple weeks. I posted on twitter: Back in my city of current residence. Only 16 days until I go HOME!!! #18tillDCP So we drove home and I probably went to bed because I think we got home very late! THE END! I just wanted to thank you all so much for reading this report that was written in record time! Sorry to rush off, but I'm KIND OF LEAVING FOR MY DCP TODAY. OMG.

My Brother-in-Law
The week before Christmas, I went for a visit with my sister and brother-in-law. They live about an hour's drive away and for some reason we don't visit like we should. Beth and Jerry are both in the medical field and both work an enourmous amount of hours.
I had not been in their home but an hour when Beth was called to work. After she got off the phone, she advised Jerry that it would probably be late at night before she returned. Jerry gave her a hug and kiss when she left for work. I was intending to visit with Jerry for another hour or so and then leave for home. We sat and chatted and drank coffee in the breakfast area of the house. I had always admired Jerry's build and his handsome features. Occasionally I found myself touching his hand or bumping his leg beneath the table. At one point Jerry happened to noticed my new watch and took my hand in an effort of looking at it. I could feel an odd feeling inside as he held my hand while examining the watch. I couldn't help it and I leaned over and gave him a hug with a small kiss on the ckeek. Jerry was a bit surprised by this and in a minute of so he returned the hug and kiss. Soon we found we were kissing each other with feelings and our arms and hands were wandering in strange territories. It wasn't long before we were both wrapped in each other's arm and really giving serious kisses. I couldn't take it any longer and began to guide Jerry toward the living room couch. Once on the couch I sat in Jerry's lap and gave him kisses with my tongue darting in and out his mouth. Jerry was letting his hand roam and so was I. Finally I let my hand make it to his belt buckle. I managed to undo the belt, unsnap his pants, and lower his zipper. Jerry had worked my buttons loose from my blouse and had his hand behind my back trying to un-snap my bra. I had my hand in his pants and was toying with his penis which was now beganing to get hard. Jerry undid my bra and let his hands work around to my boobs. We both got up from the couch and I pulled his trousers down and undid his shirt. His stiff penis was standing straight out. He then slowly took my blouse off and let my bra fall to the floor. He hooked his thumbs in my slack tops and pushed them along with my panties to my knees. I stepped out of them and gentle pushed Jerry to a sitting position on the couch, and removed his trousers. I then straddled him and let his hard dick slide slowly inside me. I sat still, feeling him deep inside. Then I started to rock back and forth and slightly lift myself up and down. Jerry had his eyes closed and was breathing deeply. I bent forward and gave him a kiss that lasted several long seconds. I began to increase the tempo of my movements and I could feel Jerry squeezing the cheeks of my butt harder than before. In a few minutes I was getting ready to climax. Jerry was now breathing much harder than before and I could tell his body was tightening up. Jerry and I both reached our peak almost at the same time. When we had finished, I stayed in my position until Jerry's dick began to soften. When he was totally flacid I raised up and a gush of cum dropped from me. I sat back down on Jerry's lap and we kissed a long kiss. Finally we got up and made our way to the bathroom to clean up. After we had cleaned up, we got dressed and went back to the breakfast area and to our coffee. We sat silent for quiet sometime before we spoke. Jerry blurted that we shouldn't have done what we did. I agreed with him and said we could have our own secret. Jerry thought for a minute and then agreed. We each promised each other that we would not breath a word or even hint that anything happened. Beth and Jerry came to our house for New Years eve and we knowing what we did, remained silent. When we hugged and kissed at the stroke of midnight, we did manage to sneak a feel of one another without anyone else knowing it. |

Van Door Stuck Closed, Headlights and Brakelights Keep Burning Out, Repairing Car Gas Line, Engine Mount Braket Problems
A: Get a locksmith to slim jim the door, or remove the inner door panel from inside the car to access the mechanism. This might mean breaking the inner panel if some of the fasteners are inaccessible when the door is shut.
Q: In the past twenty years I've owned five new vehicles and never changed a headlight bulb in any of them. I have a 2007 Grand Caravan and in the past year changed headlights about 6 times. I have talked with several mechanics they don't know what the problem is. It's gotten so bad that I carry an extra bulb in the van at all times. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?
A: Has anybody checked to see if the voltage regulator is overvoltaging the system? And you know enough not to touch the bulbs with your fingers, right?
Q: Is there any way to fix a small hole in an automotive gas line with epoxy or tape?
A: Try this stuff, follow the directions on the label:
Consider this a temporary repair, though.
Q: I've had a chronic problem with my 2003 Chevy Venture van's brake lights, on both sides. The bulb (3057LL) stops working because heat probably builds up and melts the plastic that the metal contacts are attached to. The filament is fine, but the plastic is melted by one of the contacts. I have seen a lot of GM mini-vans with a burnt out brake light. Is there a way of fixing it without replacing the tail light assembly cartridge? The bulbs life is a month or two. I have also tried electrical lubricant on it.
A: Sit in traffic with your brakes on a lot, do you? Try an LED replacement lamp, which will produce virtual no heat.
You may need to add a resistor to make the turn signals flash properly.
Q: 13 months ago I had to have the engine mount replaced in my 2007 Mazda3 hatchback since it was leaking. Yesterday I had to replace it again. The tech said that the vibrations created by speed and the weight of the engine damage the mount. Is it normal to have it changed every year?
A: No. Is the mount being damaged by leaking engine oil? Are all the mounts okay? If one is broken (but hidden) then it might allow the engine to move excessively, which could damage another mount.

Sarasota Concert Band creates community collaboration
Date: November 14, 2012
by: Mallory Gnaegy | A&E Editor
When Linda Keefe, chairwoman of the board of Sarasota Concert Band, walked into Galleria Silecchia a few months ago, a bronze sculpture of a little boy with his arms spread wide greeted her. It was the visual image of jubilance — the perfect statue to be paired with the song "A Jubilant Overture."
Keefe conceived the idea for the upcoming concert, "The Magic of Music and Art," that marries music, art and community. There will be 11 songs performed Saturday, Nov. 17, at The Glenridge Performing Arts Center; each song highlights a work of art from six downtown galleries.
For instance, when the band performs Charles Strouse's "Selections from Annie," a sun-themed chandelier will appear on a large projector screen while the familiar tune, "The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow," plays. After a few minutes, a slideshow of art that fits the song's tone will be projected, and then it will end on the highlighted piece, in this instance — the chandelier.
"We made an outing from it and wandered through the galleries, thought about how it would work and talked to the gallery owners," Keefe says.
The owners were thrilled. The gallery owners will be in attendance for the concerts, and the band will encourage the audience to visit their galleries.
"We wanted to be more involved in supporting the community and downtown — it just seemed like a win-win for everyone," Keefe says.
This is the first Sarasota Concert Band Series concert that will marry music and performing arts. There's also "The Magic of Music and Dance," featuring dancers from local studios; "The Magic of Music and Mystery," featuring dishes from local restaurants; and "The Magic of Music and Illusion," featuring magicians.
"It's not pulling (away) from the community — it's contributing to the community," she says.
Sarasota Concert Band isn't a community band — the musicians are paid professionals. Each performance features about 50 auditioned musicians from diverse backgrounds: some retired military-band performers and school music teachers. The core members make their living as musicians.
The band's history dates back to 1954.
"But our parents are the Czecho-Slovakian band, and they were here for 29 years, and when that ended — we started," Keefe says.
She's referring to the Czecho-Slovakian National band that John Ringling brought in 1925 to Sarasota. In 1954, the Sarasota Concert Band presented its first concert.
"That makes us technically the oldest musical-arts group in the area," she says.
The group's biggest concert is the yearly Memorial Day concert at Phillippi Estate Park. But every concert follows the band's mission.
"People can enjoy a variety of music and go away just feeling great about life," Keefe says.
"What does music do? It uplifts you for the moment."

Save the Date! Seattle's 12th Annual Human Rights Day

The Seattle Women's Commission will convene its fourth biennial Summit at Seattle University's Pigott Hall on Saturday, October 6, 2007, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Keynote speakers will be State Representative and State Democratic Majority Whip Sharon Tomiko Santos and Kristen Rowe-Finkbeiner, author of the award winning book, The F-Word: Feminism in Jeopardy--Women, Politics, and the Future," and co-founder and Executive Director of MomsRising.org..
The Summit brings together women and men from the Greater Seattle area to discuss issues that matter to Seattle women through dynamic workshops, facilitated discussions, and an interactive resource fair. The Summit helps participants develop skills to advocate effectively for women's issues through trainings on communication, advocacy, and leadership. Workshop sessions highlight a variety of issues of importance to women including economics, leadership, health, advocacy, violence against women, and race and social justice.
The role of the Seattle Women's Commission is to identify and recommend policy, legislation, programs, and budget items concerning women to Seattle's Mayor, City Council, and City Departments. The information shared at the Summit will guide the Seattle Women's Commission on its annual work plan and directly inform its policy recommendations.

"This is a different world, you need to pay attention, the rules are different (in the water) here you cannot stand alone, to survive we need each other" -Mike Evans, Skipper and head of the Blue Heron Family Canoes
It is July 30th, 2007 the songs and drums of the many nations gathered for the tribal canoe journey to Lummi fill the air. I have just paddled 107 nautical miles for seven days to be here and I am ready to be part of the first potlatch in Lummi since 1937.
The Canoe Journey experience is a mixture: excitement, exhilaration to be on the water, communing with nature, spiritual renewal, endurance tests, hard work, fun, food and celebration. It is not a vacation in any sense of the word--it is a JOURNEY.
The trip is a drug and alcohol-free event and a time for the youth of the Tribes to learn the old ways--a return to traditions. For me it was a journey that reminded me why I work to end racism and for social justice.
A month before, Jeff Smith, Director of the Indian Program from the American Friend Service Committee had put me in touch with Mike Evans, skipper and head of the Blue Heron Family Canoes. Mike, who is fluent in the Puget Salish, also known as Lushootseed, the language of the First People of Puget Sound, the language of his ancestors, greeted me at a paddling practice at Alki beach. I had my first taste of this journey. I paddled for three hours in the rain. I was cold, wet, hungry and wondering if I had in me what it would take to paddle 107 nautical miles to Lummi Island.
The Journey begins from various locations of Washington, British Columbia, Oregon and Alaska-from as far away as the Aleutian Islands. I started from Bainbridge Island. The first day I pulled 20 miles, from Suquamish to Mukilteo. I soon realized that to get to Lummi we would need much more than canoes, pullers, and paddles, or muscle.
Lummi Elders believe that through canoe-pulling, we achieve perfect harmony and balance. This is schelangen, schelangen represents all that must be preserved, protected and taught, the Lummi way of life. That night I understood: In our fight to end racism, and advance social justice we cannot stand alone. We need each other. We need our traditions, knowledge, history, power and identity. Through practicing and preserving these principles we can build a path to our future and create a place where we and future generations can thrive.

For two weeks in July an audit team from Project Civic Access of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) performed site visits at city of Seattle facilities. The DOJ's Disability Rights Section (DRS) sends teams of experts across the country to determine accessibility and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
"Access to civic life is a fundamental part of American society," states the DOJ Fact Sheet on Project Civic Access. DRS initiates reviews of local and state government programs and facilities and develops technical assistance materials so communities can work toward full compliance with the requirements of Title II of the ADA. The project now includes 155 settlement agreements with 144 localities in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
While here in Seattle, the audit team reviewed numerous programs and facilities. After completing its review, the audit team will work with the Law Department to resolve any outstanding issues. The DOJ, in conjunction with Mayor Nickels and the local U.S. Attorney, may have a joint press conference to announce the findings of the audit and to address remedies.
For more information on this matter, contact ADA Specialist Greg Bell at (206) 685-0490 or consult the DOJ Project Civic Access website.
On June 29, 2007, Mayor Greg Nickels appointed the Police Accountability Review Panel. This 11-member panel will review Seattle's police accountability system and recommend improvements. In November, the panel members will deliver a report to Mayor Nickels.
During its review, the panel members are seeking public comment on the structure and processes of Seattle's police accountability system as well as personal experiences with the Office of Professional Accountability. Please attend the September 10 meeting to share your thoughts. The meeting will be held between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. at the Bertha Knight Landes Room, 1st Floor, Seattle City Hall, 600 4th Ave. You can sign up to comment beginning at 6 p.m. If you are unable to attend this meeting, you can provide written comments to the panel via e-mail: email@example.com or U.S. mail:
This is your opportunity to share your thoughts on Seattle's police accountability system directly with the panelists. The panel represents a wide range of perspectives, and we hope to hear from a variety of community members. This input will be invaluable as the panel moves forward with its review.
If you plan to attend the meeting and will need interpretation services, please contact Julie Johnson at 206-684-0181 by Aug. 30 to request these services. The meeting will be taped by the Seattle Channel and the video will be available online at the panel's Web site: www.seattle.gov/policeaccountabilityreviewpanel
October 6th is the date set for the American Heart Association's annual 5k Heart Walk. Eddie Ferrer and Greg Bell are SOCR's team co-captains. Whether you show up and walk, or whether you offer to support a walker, anything you do will help.
The Heart Walk will take place October 6th from 8:30am -- 12:00pm at Qwest Field.
In deciding to participate in the Heart Walk, I'd like you to consider this story of a parent with a child born with a heart defect. The child was African American, and with the particular defect she had, one of the early warning signs was masked by her skin color. When her parents realized something was wrong they rushed her to Children's Hospital at 5 a.m., only to find that she was now in critical condition and in full respiratory, renal, circulatory and neurological distress. They were to find out 6 hours later that their daughter had a heart defect so rare that only 100 kids are born a year in America with this problem. And that the heart surgery required to repair the defect was so new that Children's Hospital had only done it once before; it didn't exist three years earlier. Over the next 13 days the medical staff prepared for the surgery while telling the parents that there is a far greater chance that their child will not survive the surgery than the chance of success. Their daughter was baptized in the ICU by a pastor wearing full medical scrubs. When the operation took place every cardiac surgeon at Children's Hospital was in the operating room, learning how the procedure was to be done. The operation took 4 ¼ hours out of the scheduled six hours. It was a success, but another 21 days in the hospital, many long months of injections, monitoring and appointments were still required for the child to lead as normal a life as possible.
That young girl is my daughter, Marian Bell, and the procedure used to save her life was partially funded by AHA, which gets two thirds of their operating funds from Heart Walks around the county.
It is why I will be in Heart Walks for a long time coming. To find out more about the Heart Walk visit www.americanheart.org or call Marissa Hull at (206) 632-6881.

What is your role at SOCR?
My role in the Seattle Office for Civil Rights is that of Human Resources, Finance and Administrative Manager. In addition to handling the human resources functions and the approximate $2.2 million annual budget, I manage the information technology unit and our team of administrative professionals. I was privileged to be chosen as a part of the Mayor's Race and Social Justice Core Team to work within City departments to learn to identify and strive to eliminate institutionalized racism. I continue to use these skills on City workgroups and externally in my volunteer work.
What do you love most about working at SOCR?
I love the variety of the work, the dedication of my co-workers, the extremely cool services we provide to help people fight discrimination, and the fact that every day I come to work, I feel like I'm making a difference in the world.
What are you passionate about?
In 2005, I was privileged to travel to Kenya with Women's Enterprises International (WEI) and my life was changed forever by the amazing women I met. I came home and opened a small jewelry business, with a minimum of 1/3 of the sales going back to help the women there in their efforts to get clean water, education for their daughters (sons get education) and income generation projects like bee keeping, chicken and goat rearing and planting trees to reforest the land. I also joined the Board of WEI which now also works in Guatemala, Bolivia, Benin and Indonesia, where I traveled earlier this year to help deliver two water buffaloes and ten baby piglets to a small mountain village. Oh my but it has made my life exciting!
Gregory Bell
I handle the day to day work surrounding the City's Title VI plan, which is a requirement for the receipt of federal funds from the Department of Transportation. I also serve as the Title II Coordinator of the ADA and deal with the public on matters of accessibility, while providing technical assistance to City agencies/individuals.
I get to work with some great people all throughout the office. I get to help real people who have real problems.
Who inspires you and what are you passionate about?
I have been inspired by many people. I have and will always feel that one of the greatest people of the last century was so humble that his role in history is often overlooked. Yet Thurgood Marshall was the "quiet giant" of the Civil Rights era and was involved in many of the Civil Rights Movement's greatest accomplishments. Another person who inspires me is the late Formula One driver Ayrton Senna di Silva, who many feel is the greatest Formula One driver of all time. While he was an indomitable force in a race car, he quietly built and led a charitable foundation that caters solely to the educational, nutritional and security needs of Sao Paolo's poorest children. Although he died in 1994, his foundation lives on, providing $12 million in aid and support last year alone. In time, he may be more known for his philanthropy than his racing achievements.
Last but not least, I am inspired by Chenelle, Nolan, Anita, Ameya, Karina, Brenda and all of the other young people in the office who have taken up the banner of fairness and are working to prevent discrimination.
SOCR is proud to receive letters in support of our staff and the services they provide. Kudos goes to Darlene Flynn's continual great work providing anti-racism training for City employees. She received the following email from a participant in one of her trainings:
"I wanted to thank you both once again for an exceptional training. You provided a safe place to discuss very sensitive issues and then showed us how to do it in a very caring and genuine fashion. I got the sense that everyone was a little sad the day came to an end. I think you have struck on a model that is unique, effective, and instills reflection."
