Urbana is a missions conference for North American students hosted by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA, Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship of Canada, and Groupes Bibliques Universitaires et Collégiaux du Canada. Urbana 12 will be our 23rd conference. The first "Urbana" was held in Toronto in 1946. From 1948 to 2003, the conference was held at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. Since 2006, Urbana has been held at the America's Center Complex in downtown St. Louis, Missouri. Generations of college students have come to Urbana to hear about issues in missions directly from the field and respond to God's call to participate in his global mission. During the five days of Urbana, thousands of participants will experience multicultural worship and drama, dynamic speakers, in-depth Bible study, and focused prayer. They will also be encouraged to explore short-term and vocational opportunities as they interact with representatives from hundreds of mission organizations and educational institutions. Urbana 12 will be held December 27-31, 2012 in St. Louis, Missouri.

Please note that luggage is not allowed in the America's Center, so you will need to give yourself time to check-in to your hotel before you come to the America's Center for Urbana 12 check-in. Be aware that you may not be able to check-in to your hotel room before 11 AM Your hotel may allow you to store your luggage at the hotel until you are able to check-in.
Generally, December temperatures in St. Louis are below freezing. You should pack winter clothing (including sweaters, sweatshirts, socks, shoes, hats, gloves, scarves). Layer your clothing so you can remove layers when you are indoors. A well-insulated winter coat is advisable. During Urbana 12 we may experience periods of snow, ice, rain, or sleet. Be prepared for these conditions by bringing extra socks, water-repellent shoes, and warm clothing. You will spend time outside walking from your hotel room to various venues around downtown St. Louis so keep this in mind when packing. We also recommend researching the forecasted weather for St. Louis before packing so you will have a more accurate idea of temperature and conditions.
If you are unable to pay your balance in advance, you may pay your balance onsite at the America's Center, but your check-in process will be lengthy. Your check-in process will be simplified greatly if you pay your balance in full before arriving onsite in St. Louis. Urbana 12 conference fees may not be paid at your hotel. If you have a balance due, you will pay it during check-in at the America's Center (Washington Avenue entrance) on Thursday, December 27, 2012,between 10 AM and 6 PM using credit card or check. (Onsite, we accept Visa credit and debit, Mastercard credit and debit, Discover and American Express. ) We do not accept cash.
Urbana 12 is intended for anyone interested in missions. We welcome all who have a heart for God and his work. The target audience is college-aged women and men between the ages of 17 and 29, but every Urbana draws people from all over North America who want to learn more about global realities, current missions issues, and their place in God's mission, including:
We welcome all high school students in their final year of study, who are 17 years of age or older. High school is a great time to begin thinking seriously about how one can be a part of God's global mission, and Urbana can be especially meaningful for students who attend with their church youth leaders.

When you check into your hotel, ask about discounted rates.
If you live in St. Louis, plan to arrive at the America's Center by 2pm on December 27, to check-in to the conference.

You will need to go through conference check-in at the America's Center between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM on December 27, 2012. You will need to provide your own transportation to and from the conference venues each day.

Make sure you have a government issued photo ID available when checking into your hotel. For security, you will also need to show ID if you need a new or additional room key. A good rule of thumb when traveling is to keep your ID on you at all times.
The Urbana Housing Bureau, which will make your reservation for you, will give you a confirmation number for the reservation (which the Bureau uses for tracking in their system). This will not match the hotel's confirmation number. It is important that you bring your Urbana Housing Bureau confirmation to verify your reservation in the unlikely event that the hotel is not able to locate your reservation record.
You should also have a method of payment ready (debit card, credit card or cash), whether it is to pay for the full room bill or just for incidentals.
Dinners will not be able to accommodate special dietary needs. If you have special needs, please come prepared with your own food.
If you are arriving in St. Louis on December 27, 2012 you are encouraged to arrive at your hotel for check-in between 11 AM and 6 PM. Urbana 12's first session starts at 7:30 PM, so leave plenty of time for dinner and conference check-in.
The published check-in times for hotels are usually 3 PM or 4 PM. If the room is available earlier the hotel will check you in at no additional charge. If the room is not ready when you arrive at the hotel, you can usually store your luggage with the Front Desk or Bell Desk until it is available. Luggage is prohibited at the Edward Jones Dome and the America's Center, so wisely plan the storage of your luggage.
Most hotels have an 11 AM check-out time. You can contact the Front Desk to request a later check-out, and if possible, they will extend it to 12 PM or 1 PM. However, they may charge a half-day charge if later than 1 PM, or a full day charge for later than 3 PM. If you are not leaving directly after the last session on December 31, 2012, we recommend checking out of your hotel before 11 AM on January 1, 2013. Luggage is prohibited at the Edward Jones Dome and the America's Center, so wisely plan the storage of your luggage.
Lodging taxes range from approximately 14% to 17%, depending on which municipality you are staying in and are in addition to the room charge. Budget this extra expense accordingly.
Housing at Urbana 12 will be in St. Louis area hotels. Urbana 12 has negotiated steeply discounted room rates for you. The average per person with quad occupancy is $23/person / night plus tax. These rooms and rates are only available by using the service provided by the Urbana Housing Bureau after you register for Urbana 12. You will need your Urbana ID number to complete your reservation. Your Urbana ID Number is displayed on the left hand side of your PUP. You will be charged separately for housing. You are responsible for reserving and paying for your own housing.
Many hotels offer in-room internet access for a fee, while others have it complimentary. Please check with your hotel, as each hotel has its own pricing and guidelines.
An incidental is hotel industry jargon for anything that you would possibly charge to your room. Most often items include: movies, room service, internet access, parking, telephone, laundry, and restaurant charges. Hotels require you to either put a credit card or other payment down to guarantee the charges, or they will turn room charging privileges off. Each hotel has a different policy and amount they require a guest to put down, but plan on at least $50 per night. If you put cash down, any remaining amount that you did not spend will be returned to you at check-out. Check deposits are usually returned in the form of a mailed check. Credit cards and debit cards have the holds reversed.
When you are in your hotels, remember the staff that is serving you. Housekeeping would appreciate a tip at the end of your stay, and $2-4 per room per day is recommended. Hotel Porters usually receive $1 per bag for helping with luggage, boxes, or other deliveries such as ice or faxes. For shuttle rides or valet parking, $2-3 is standard.
Yes. Once you have registered for Urbana 12, use the Urbana Housing Bureau located on your PUP to reserve a hotel room for you and your friends. You can all register as individuals and still room together. Group housing and group registration are not related to each other.
If you would like to room with someone, but do not know of potential roommates, click on Find a Roommate located on your PUP. There you can post your roommate needs and view posts from other Urbana 12 participants, of the same gender, who are looking for people to fill rooms.
A rollaway bed is a portable twin mattress that can be placed into a room as an extra bed. They are often very limited in availability, cost at least an extra $10 per day (some hotels can be as much as $25), and can be restricted due to space in the room. Also, Urbana has been told that under no circumstance can two rollaways be placed into one room. If you are interested in using a rollaway in your room, contact a reservation agent at the hotel ahead of time and be aware they are first come, first served.
If you would like to room with someone, but do not know of potential roommates, click on Find a Roommate located on your PUP. There you can post your roommate needs and view posts from other Urbana participants, of the same gender, who are looking for people to fill rooms.
If you are interested in using our roommate search tool, it is highly advisable that you make a reservation after you connect with your roommates.
Most tracks do not have a track hotel. If your track does require or encourage housing in a specific hotel, your Urbana 12registration will include a private access code to use during the hotel reservation process. Using this code will help direct you to reserve rooms at hotels set aside for your specific track.
Yes. After you register, please contact Urbana using this online form and indicate what special arrangements will be needed during the conference.

For blind participants, Braille translations of key convention materials will be available
If you need a personal attendant to accompany you, you will be responsible for their registration and travel costs.

You will be provided the location of Launch Lab when you check-in at Urbana 12.
Urbana 12 offers several tracks to provide a conference-within-a-conference experience. Participants who choose to join a track will focus on specific issues, have access to specialized seminars, and meet others with similar passions while still being part of the larger Urbana 12 conference. Spaces are limited and participants who are interested in a track must sign upon their PUP after completing registration.
Tracks offered at Urbana 12 are:
Read descriptions of each of these tracks
Urbana 12 will offer a wide variety of challenging and inspiring afternoon seminars designed to help participants take their next steps in missions. A Seminar Series is a categorical seminar curriculum designed to cover foundational to advanced topics in mission. You can attend all the seminars in a series or mix and match to create a series that matches your interests.
Seminars will deal with missions-related issues such as healthcare, the arts, the environment, business, advocating for the poor, and strengthening spiritual disciplines.
Seminar Series offered at Urbana 12 are:
A lot! Participants will get career advice, receive prayer, browse the bookstore, and connect with others with similar passions. Experiential prayer rooms provide a quiet place to interact with God. Art spaces provide creative outlets. In-depth Bible study each morning is a time to interact with God's Word. Urbana 12 provides opportunities to experience, engage, and investigate what God is doing around the world, here at home, and in your own heart.
In the Exhibit Hall there will be representatives from hundreds of mission organizations, relief and development organizations, as well as seminaries and Christian schools to talk with you about the work God is doing throughout the world. You'll be able to:
If you are interested in exhibiting at Urbana 12, please visit the Exhibitor pages on urbana.org. Details about Urbana 12 exhibits and the application process can be found there.
Yes! Urbana greatly benefits from the service of hundreds of volunteers. Volunteers give of their time and energy to assist in directing foot traffic, helping with registration, and many other tasks that take place behind the scenes. However, volunteers are not guaranteed access to the Urbana 12 program. If you are interested in volunteering at Urbana, please check out the types of opportunities available.
Thank you for your interest in working at Urbana 12. Keep checking here for employment opportunities at Urbana.
Thank you for your interest in singing or speaking at Urbana 12. All of the main speakers and the members of the worship team have been selected, so we do not have positions open. We hope that you will find many ways to share your story and your talents—many mission organizations are looking for gifted people like you. Come to Urbana 12 and check out the possibilities!
There are two ways non-students can volunteer. Please note that we encourage all students who would like to experience Urbana 12 to come as participants, rather than volunteers. There are ways for students to contribute to the work of Urbana 12 by serving in the stadium and as communion servers. More information is provided when students register.
For non-students, there are two different ways to volunteer: for the entire conference or for a single day. We call volunteers who work for the entire conference Stewards. Urbana 12 covers Stewards' registration fees, but other costs such as housing, meals, and travel to St. Louis are the responsibility of the Steward. Jobs for Stewards will be assigned closer to the conference. When Stewards are not scheduled to serve, they are free to experience and take part in the conference.
A Daily Servant is a volunteer who may serve for a portion of a day or a few complete days at the conference. As a thank you, Daily Servants will receive a one-day pass to attend the conference on a day that they are not volunteering. Like Stewards, Daily Servants are responsible for paying for housing, meals, travel, and other costs as necessary. Typically, Daily Servants live in the St. Louis area and do not require a hotel.
Registration for Stewards and Daily Servants is different from registration for participants. Register here as a Steward or Daily Servant.
Send us a message and tell us about yourself and your availability for volunteering.
Registration for Stewards and Daily Servants is different from registration for participants. Register here as a Steward or Daily Servant. Since Stewards and Daily Servants are serving in necessary roles while at Urbana 12, no registration fee is required, but donations to the Urbana Scholarship Fund are welcome. Thank you for your interest!
The most important qualification of anyone who volunteers at Urbana 12 is a desire to help facilitate the best possible environment for God to do what he purposes to do in the hearts and lives of participants. Flexibility and a servant attitude are key, as needs often change in the days before and during the conference.
Examples of other qualifications include:
Stewards (full-time volunteers) should be prepared to:
Daily Servants (part-time volunteers) should be prepared to:
General qualifications that may be taken into account when matching volunteers with jobs are:
Only residents of the US, Canada, and Mexico may register to serve as Stewards or Daily Servants. High school seniors and college students may not serve as Stewards or Daily Servants since it is InterVarsity's desire to have students fully participate in Urbana 12. However, Urbana 12 participants (of all ages) are needed to volunteer for two important service opportunities: Stadium Servant and Communion Server. Please indicate your availability/interest to volunteer for one of these opportunities after you register on your PUP. You will be informed of required training (onsite at the conference) and receive more information about your role prior to arriving at Urbana 12.
Yes! Examples of possibilities for a group of adults to serve together include filling volunteer job assignments by helping with conference check-in or with communion preparation. Please send us a message for more information about volunteering and/or getting your group involved serving at Urbana 12.
God is active in the world today, telling the same story he has been telling since he created time. As creatures made in God's image, we are more than characters in that story, we have been invited to join with God in creating his story. Accepting this invitation is such a complete and overwhelming good that the invitation is given as a command: Go and make disciples of all nations.
Urbana.org is dedicated to empowering and equipping you to take your unique part in telling God's story. Many of the resources that will help you on this journey can be found in the Go and Do section of the site. However, the primary way urbana.org accomplishes this mission is to connect you with the Urbana conference. This site is your source for information about the conference, where you come to register for the conference, and a resource for you as you prepare for and process your experiences at the conference.
The Urbana conference and urbana.org have the same goal: to compel this generation to give their whole lives for God's global mission.
Yes! If an article encourages, convicts, challenges or inspires you, please pass it on! However, to print or distribute articles to more than just a few friends—or translate articles into other languages—you must contact the urbana.org editors prior to doing so. If permission is granted, we'll ask that you provide a link to the article with a note that you've been granted permission (something like: "Granted permission for multiplication and use by urbana.org"). You'll be given precise instructions when permission is granted. For all other content-related questions, or if you'd like to contribute content to urbana.org (image or word-based), please send us a message.
Urbana Ministry Match is a search engine located on urbana.org that is designed to help you locate mission organizations, schools and ministries at Urbana 12 based on interests, skills and callings. Beginning in fall 2012, you will be able to fill out a questionnaire through your PUP prior to attending Urbana 12 that is designed to connect you with ministries that will be exhibiting at Urbana 12. You will be provided with a list of "matches" to organizations, based on your Urbana Ministry Match profile. You will be able to indicate interest in organizations and view the organizations through their Urbana 12 profile page, where exhibitor links and contact information can be found. Based on Urbana Ministry Match profiles, exhibitors will also indicate interest in Urbana 12 participants. You may receive a list of exhibiting organizations that are interested in you prior to Urbana 12. Your Urbana Ministry Match lists will assist you in navigating the Exhibit Hall at Urbana 12, where you will be able to have more in-depth conversations with your matching organizations.
Through Urbana Ministry Match, information indicated by Urbana participants may be shared with exhibitors. No information will be shared with any individual or organization not participating in the Urbana 12 conference. Exhibiting organizations will have their information shared with all Urbana participants; their contact information will only be visible publically on urbana.org if they have given permission for that to happen.

Re: TB and IAC (idle air control) valve cleaning
Ern, Most of us think you have CKP problems - but if you want to clean the IAC, in your car it's held by 2 Philips or Torx machine screws into the left (front) side of the TB. The screws are easy to drop - careful. Remove the IAC and clean the top hat plunger with a bit of TB spray but be careful not to let much/any run into the solenoid body itself. Also clean out the bore and passage in the TB with a fuzzy pipe cleaner - packs of them from craft stores. Rub a drop of engine oil on the O-ring and replace the IAC.
Re: TB and IAC (idle air control) valve cleaning
Thanks for the illustration.
....not sure about the butt plug, though.
I figured I'll give it a shot. I understand its likely going to come down to the CKP, but I wont have time for that for a week or two.
But thanks for all your time/help. I'll check the IAC tomorrow just to see if it makes any difference.
If it is CKP for certain, think that would cause poor idle at standstill?
Anyway.....if none of this works I'll just get a couple of them chrome fender louvers and be done with it.
Re: TB and IAC (idle air control) valve cleaning
My bad CKP sensor never caused an idle problem and I can't recall ever hearing of that. When they go bad they cause a longer than normal crank time and/or a stall at idle or sometimes a stumble or stall at cruise.

On my 2000 deville base model the vacuum port in this picture has a plug on it. I see in his picture it goes to something?
Re: TB and IAC (idle air control) valve cleaning
Of course it does - remove the beauty cover and trace the plastic line - or are you talking about the MAP sensor on top ?
Hi there, I read first page and cleaned my throttle body and iac best of my ability, only had carb cleaner and tooth brus and shop towels, went to start car after all was cleanecleaned and now it high idles at like 1500 or even 2000 rpms, what happened, I'm not putting it in gear like that, that would deviate my transmission, it has 224000. The only reason I wanted to clean iac was cause it had rough low idle and misfire that occurs only at idle, hit gas and runs on all eight whole time not idling, but that's besides point now. How do I fix this, New/used iac, they have them on ebay for 15 bucks aftermarket? Thoughts and ideas. Need my car and can't drive it like that,
p.s., silly me being cureous sometimes, I pushed and pulled on valve while cleaning it to see if it would move more freely, not knowing what I was getting into, put it in clamped everything back up, over rev, shut down, remove, figure if it sticks out and revs up, we'll I'll just push it in and idle down, put it back in and start, revs higher and more erratic, PLEASE HELP, loved my car till iidle issues started.
Re: TB and IAC (idle air control) valve cleaning
Re: TB and IAC (idle air control) valve cleaning
All I have is rough idle, with random misfire code, got it scanned, p0303, but car only shows p0300 and I know car wont show specific cylinder, but have replaced iac valve just cause was 15 bucks on ebay. Now it idles bit better, but also cleaned egr valve, inside of throttle body and removed and reinstalled tps, now it idles better but while warming up after 1100rpm high idle it surges till fully warm and idles around 650-700 but sill rough. Put it in gear and of course idle drops to about 550-600 and check engine light starts flashing, idle gets rougher, hit gas and stops misfiring and runs on all eight, can floor it and it goes like it should. So dunfounded, don't know what to do next. how do I relearn idle procedure, and what does touching cables together do? Also with removing and reinstalling tps it didn't go back on exactly how it was, slightly turned a tad. now throttle is touchier and when its warming up and go to hit gas, it wants to take off a bit on its own like it revs up, but once warm it acts normal. Thinking I might need to replace tps, but hat wont fix idle issue. And wouldn't i have to have tps relearn or something.But car hast been right since idle issue started. At least I can drive it now. Any more advice, lol?
Re: TB and IAC (idle air control) valve cleaning
For that car the
TPS relearn is - turn the key ON (no start) for one minute, turn it OFF for at least 30 seconds.
IAC relearn is - START and idle for 15 seconds, engine OFF for at least 15 seconds. Restart and check idle speed at about 650, in P, N, or D and with A/C ON or OFF - all 650 rpm.

Quest:Deep Ocean, Vast Sea
this wiki
Deep Ocean, Vast Sea | |
Start | Gorbold Steelhand |
End | Gorbold Steelhand |
Level | 17 Requires Level 12 |
Category | Darkshore |
Experience | 1,250 XP or 750 at Level 90 |
Rewards | [Welldrip Gloves] or [Noosegrip Gauntlets] 18 |
Deep Ocean, Vast Sea is about searching two shipwrecks in the water and finding two boxes.
[show]Objectives Edit
Recover the [Silver Dawning's Lockbox] and the [Mist Veil's Lockbox] for Gorbold Steelhand in Auberdine. Both items should be found aboard the wreckage of the ships to the north of the village.
Details Edit
Be careful of a bug that sometimes allows mobs to attack you through the walls of the ship.
Description Edit
Off the coast of Darkshore to our north are two wrecked ships - the Silver Dawning and the Mist Veil. Some time ago, both ships ran afoul of the blasted murloc as they sailed across the vast sea into Auberdine. They now lie at the bottom of the ocean, as trophies for those fiends.
Both captains didn't make it out that night, and their logs and other effects are still below in their lockboxes. I'd like for you to recover them for us; it would mean a lot to the crew members still around these parts.
Progress Edit
The captains of those ships were good night elves, and they deserve a better fate than they were given. Perhaps tending to their personal effects will be the best way to put their spirits to rest.
Completion Edit
You've done us here in Auberdine a great service, lad. We'll make sure that their effects are properly taken care of.
As for you, please have this. It is the least I can do for someone with the bravery to set things right.
Reward Edit
- +250 reputation with Darnassus
Patch changesEdit
- Patch 4.0.3 (15-Nov-2010): Removed.
A new quest entitled An Ocean Not So Deep will replace this quest.
- Patch 1.5.0 (2005-06-07): Everyone's favorite Alliance quest, "Deep Ocean, Vast Sea" now gives a substantial coin reward in addition to the choice of item.

Cuide te, Prepare te... Vida Chileno, yo te amo.
Trip Start
Jan 20, 2010
Trip End
Aug 08, 2010
Right now, I'm rereading an entry I wrote a couple weeks ago where homesickness and an overworked pancreas made me complain about food and language barriers. I have two apologies to make, one for my grammar; I can't speak or think in any language well anymore. The other is for this angsty rant of words I subjected my friends and family to. I've since snuggled up into a blanket of familiarity and now see the beauty behind so much of my life in Chile, mostly my family. As cliche as this may sound, Andrea, my Chilean mother, is as beautiful on the inside as she is gorgeous on the outside. Her endless patience with my hand gestures and slowly growing vocabulary bridged our communication gap. We spend hours talking everyday in the overbearing heat of a kitchen with roaring gas stoves, under the balmy coolness of stars, on beach towels in the sand, and at our brightly colored table during lunch while picking at oregano dusted tomatoes. Our conversations dredge deeper than whispy superficial daily activities and together we uncover cultural differences of racism (okay...this I might rant about during this entry, but I'll keep it short), identify the roots of depression in our countries, and the foundations of the high rates of domestic violence in Chile. When I translate our conversations word for word, they sound infantile, but they run full of sentiments....Perhaps it's just the Chilean manner of speaking for when she carefully says she believes Chileans would suffer less from depression if they had a less affectionate culture, the painful losses of her childhood seem to seek me out in the still thick air. And her understanding extends beyond trying to decipher my American accent and reaches to a cultural level as well. I may sound like a small child talking, but she respects what I'm saying as she tries grasp my descriptions of separated families and isolation in the US causing an equally painful depression.
Equally importantly as her patience, my mom's understanding has spread to my younger siblings. I won't lie; Things were tough with them a couple weeks ago. My novelty had worn off and they were bored with me constantly asking questions about fruit names and talking about our dog. After a night of dancing like a Chilean (which means forcing my 60 year
old woman personality to stay out until 4:30AM), I can't hear very
well. I hazily walk around with regatone and salsa blasted eardrums. One particular Sunday I suffered the longest lunch of my life which added pounds of humility to my confidence and probably years of inside jokes for my family. If you can imagine, after three weeks I grumpily didn't appreciate the constant laughter and frustration at my expense. Later I could hear my brother making fun of me through the walls between our
rooms with his friends. So while I'm still regretting my snappiness, I think it was just an awkward stage. Michelle and Nicolas' patience got us out of this and ugh...it might end up wearing me down to the point of exhaustion, but I won't mind it a bit. Ice cream, constantly running, screaming, eating sugar, making fun of who has more boyfriends (pololos)/girlfriends (pololas), playing guitar, dancing spontaneously, endless dates of running/biking/swimming, horror flicks on youtube, and a lot of Michael Jackson... This would equal our current lives together. Hmmm, oh shiz, is this the voice of a housewife? I'm just going to hope this is what happens when you have two adorable affectionate younger siblings.
My only pain of the past couple weeks was actually more of an unearthing of something I have been pushing out of my mind. To try to preface this situation with the most culturally understanding background, I will say this: the perceptions of what is racism differ greatly between Chile and the states. I'm not saying racism is absent from either country or that one form is necessarily better than the other. What I'm trying to get across is...well, it's difficult for many of us (the girls in my program) to hear and see what we consider as extreme racism. For example, my family whom I love dearly, named their dog Negrita (little black one) and will fall on the floor in laughter when talking about the way the Chinese look and speak while I'm sitting with them at the table (this is extremely painful to deal with because my explanation of my culture generally provokes it). Circuses are bluntly named Circus of Africans and painted with crude pictures of mockery. It's impossible to walk by a splattering of graffiti that doesn't have Chino (Chinese) followed by some expletive. Anyone of Chinese heritage gets the nickname Chino and if a person is not Chilean, they're often described by their race before their personality. Race is just clearly on the forefront here and for those of us who don't
believe in it, it kills us. I'm not comfortable with it. I don't want to be, ever. My attempts of subtlely trying to instill a sharing of cultures have failed so far within my family. I've tried teaching my family the few Chinese phrases I know and have cooked a huge feast of Chinese food (... I even cooked meat again!). I can continue to try instigate a greater respect for the Chinese within my family in my last three weeks (I have gotten my mom to understand a bit of my discomfort), but for the most part I think I will just remind myself constantly this: "Your family is beautiful and full of good people. They're not trying to be racist and to hurt you. This is just a cultural difference.".... right?
Anyways, on to something a bit more cheerful. Last week, my group headed to Putre in the Andean altiplano to have an intimate perspective of traditional Aymaran medicine and rural practices. I'm once again most impressed by the integration of traditions and modern medicinal treatments. The Yeteri (spiritual healer), Partera (woman who helps with birthing), and Uiwami (general body healer) often work directly and or complementarily with the Ministry of Health's rural Consulorios and Postas. We smelled their herbal treatments, had live demonstrations, and even received treatments. My mantaray bite got an herbal massage and disinfectant! All were equally fascinating, but the care the Partera provides is worth describing. She'll work with women often starting at their third month of pregnancy by prescribing tea treatments to deal with morning sickness or pain and massages to see ease the mother and fetus. She continues to work closely with the mother all the way through her birth to the point of washing her hair with rosemary and other herbs three days afterward. She also has some incredibly different treatments, like rolling a woman on a poncho to put the baby in a better position or using a string to untangle an umbellical cord (I was confused when this was described/demonstrated...). Overall, this trip to the fresh, crisp, and delectably silent mountain air made me love the unconventional way we experience life in Chile.
Last week we also had a long weekend and my friends and I used the opportunity to head to San Pedro de Atacama. We got off to a rough start as one of my friends was robbed before we even left the bus terminal, another friend was almost stranded in the middle of the desert when she only had a copy of her passport, and another friend was robbed while sleeping on the bus. All of this took place in our first 12 hours and we hoped the next 72 hours would be far more tranquil. Tranquil might not be the best way to describe the incredible, breath taking views we saw around San Pedro. The actual small town of San Pedro is far too touristy for my liking, but has huge bear like street dogs which are to my liking. I'm really defining my old woman personality here in Chile. I think I have enough pictures of cute sleeping animals to make calendars for all my friends...for their next ten birthdays.

Infoplease ToolsMovie SummaryAgnes of God
Description: Agnes of God is an opened up adaptation of the minimalist stage play by John Pielmeier. Meg Tilly plays a young nun who secretly gives birth to a baby; the child's body is later found strangled to death. Court-appointed psychiatrist Jane Fonda is sent to the convent to investigate, a task made difficult by the weathervane behavior of mother superior Anne Bancroft. To draw out Tilly, who remembers nothing of the birth, Fonda suggests that hypnosis is called for. Playwright Pielmeier poses many questions--is Tilly a pure-and-simple murderess, or was there something divine in her act?--but offers frustratingly few answers. The evocative photography is by longtime Ingmar Bergman associate Sven Nykvist.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide Movie summaries and listings powered by Cinema-Source

Disney World Wants Girls to be Boys
April 27, 2012
(left, author with Minnie Mouse)
For some reason, girls play many male characters at Disney World. For feminist mutants, this was easy but girls from traditional cultures had difficulties.
"The Chinese girls were berated by the trainers over and over, and finally they were threatened with expulsion from the program. Tears and confusion followed. There was no doubt about it - they were girls."
by Grayling Barraclough
Recently I did the Walt Disney World college program. I worked at their Florida theme parks over a summer season, as a "character performer."
Like everything they do, Disney takes their characters very seriously. After going through the standard interviews and a dance-based audition, I got the job.
Then began the training. I have always thought of Mickey Mouse as a male. Yet the mascot is usually played by a Mexican or Chinese - girl. Regardless of who is in the suit though, they all have to act the same. That's where the training comes in.
My core training group consisted of me (a British male,) two Chinese girls, a Mexican girl and a Canadian girl. After two weeks of intensive training with these girls, I was able to make the following observations.
The Chinese girls were extremely feminine. Although friendly they were timid, giggly and had a soft rounded energy about them. Although they were full of the joys of spring and a pleasure to be around, they were rather too childlike to be of any sexual interest to me. The Mexican girl was very quiet; her English wasn't brilliant; she seemed very shy, but she was unquestionably feminine.
I sensed she was intimidated by me and wanted to avoid me. She was very physically attractive and perhaps she sensed that I was attracted to her.
She sensed what I might want to do, given half a chance to seduce her and she kept me at a safe distance. She never once looked me in the eye, and I respected her for it. And it made me want her all the more. This is how a young lady should behave faced with a male who is sexually interested in her.
The Canadian girl was a different creature altogether. I wouldn't even call her a girl. She was more like a hybrid boy. She looked, and spoke, and dressed like a boy. She was surely, brattish and discontented. One of her phrases was "FML" which apparently meant "Fuck my Life". Even though she was working at the self proclaimed "happiest place on Earth" she was constantly whinging or criticizing something. She was old for her years and bitter.
I was attracted to her about as much as I would have been attracted to a boy i.e. - not at all! Honestly, I wouldn't have touched her with a ten foot pole.
It soon became clear though that the Canadian girl was the top student. Given that several of the Disney characters are male, that meant acting masculine.
I was told privately by a trainer that the American girls, the few that are small enough to fit in the costume, have no problem acting masculine. (I thought to myself - it's acting feminine they have the problem with!). It didn't take long for the Chinese girls to start experiencing problems.
Even though their English was good, they just couldn't come to grips with the male characters. Their wrists were too limp, their hips tilted at the wrong angle.
They were berated by the trainers over and over, and finally they were threatened with expulsion from the program. Tears and confusion followed. There was no doubt about it - they were girls.
The Mexican girl did OK, she managed to play the part, even if it was through gritted teeth.
I was lucky -- all of my characters, Goofy, Baloo, Captain Hook, and the Beast (from Beauty and the) were male. I can't even imagine playing a female character.
The New World Order think tanks and corporate structure would rather we completely abandon our gender roles, and accept their androgynous version of reality, where we are all just genderless 'persons' (slaves).
What's interesting though is when it suits them, i.e. when it affects their bottom line, as in the case of selling the traditional Disney characters to paying guests; then they are forced into absolutely accepting that men and women are eternally and irreconcilably different.
How long this will last is uncertain as Disney will doubtless have to bow to pressure for more and more androgynous characters. The Lion King springs to mind. How appealing androgynous characters will be is debatable.
In the meantime we all passed the training and got let out in the parks as characters.
I bumped into the Chinese girls a few times, they were always bubbly, giggly and pleased to see me. The Canadian girl kept turning up like a bad penny, always miserable, always griping about something. I never saw the Mexican girl again... unfortunately.

Comments for " Disney World Wants Girls to be Boys"
Craig said (April 29, 2012):
I read the article posted regarding working at a Disney theme park and it comes as no surprise.
My three year old son likes to watch dvd's such as Barnyard. One of the first things I noticed is that the main male characters are 'cows', not bulls.
All the male bulls have udders, instead of the appropriate appendages.
When my son asked what the 'pink things' were I explained they were for feeding milk to baby cows. "oh, just like mum's boobies" he said. Followed by " but why don't the man cows have a penis?"
I laughed and laughed. Then I explained that man cows are called bulls and they do have a penis. Just not on that dvd.
Perhaps it is a question he needs to ask Dreamworks studios. If they can show the female parts, why not the male parts? I expect it would be considered inappropriate or vulgar
Or not fit with their agenda to portray males as feminine.
Even my three year old has noticed that things are not as they should be.

How to check your electrical system is safe
There are some tell-tale signs that your system is out of date and unsafe to work on (old-style rubber-sheathed cable, for example). But even if you live in a modern house with an electrical system that's been professionally checked and approved in the past ten years, things can still go wrong. So make sure it's safe before you begin work.
If you're in any doubt, get it checked by a qualified electrician.

Palo Alto Online
by Bill D'Agostino
Barring a successful appeal or an unusually early parole, convicted murderer Kenneth Fitzhugh will likely be spending the rest of his life in jail for the brutal slaying of his wife and former Palo Alto music teacher, Kristine.
Nothing about the trial against Fitzhugh was typical: not the investigation that began on May 5, 2000 after Kristine was found on the bottom of her basement steps; not the amount of media attention surrounding the case, which culminated in last week's decision; and not the verdict itself, murder in the second degree, handed down last Thursday in a packed courtroom.
Most atypical was Fitzhugh himself, a former Boy Scout leader with no prior criminal record who made an unlikely murder suspect from the beginning.
His arrest, 14 days after Kristine's death (which was initially ruled an accident) was the first of many shocks for the community.
At the time, Ravenswood Superintendent Charlie May Knight said Fitzhugh's arrest was "bizarre." She called the Kenneth and Kristine Fitzhugh, who volunteered in her district, "a couple that spent a great deal of their time doing altruistic things."
Then shortly before the trial began a month ago, another big shock emerged from public court documents: Kenneth and Kristine's elder son, Justin, was fathered by another man -- former family friend Robert Brown.
"Things were not as they appeared," Deputy District Attorney Michael Fletcher said in his opening statements.
Throughout the trial, defense attorney Thomas Nolan painted Fitzhugh as a man caught in the current of powerful forces beyond his control: a stranger who murdered his beloved wife, members of the media determined to paint him as the villain, and a police investigation that ignored crucial evidence.
Nolan even went so far as to make the claim that Palo Alto police wanted Fitzhugh convicted because the prospect of a husband murdering his wife in a neighborhood does not lower real estate prices as much having a random murderer free on the streets.
But the jury ultimately believed Fletcher's methodically laid out physical evidence, including a plethora of blood stains discovered (using a special chemical known as luminol) in the kitchen, even though Kristine's body was found in the basement.
Prosecutors and police believed Fitzhugh killed Kristine in the kitchen and then dragged her body into the basement to make it look like an accident. According to autopsy reports, he either struck her seven times in the back of the head with a blunt object, or rammed her head against the blunt object seven times. No murder weapon was ever discovered.
In the end, the scenario grew into something quite typical: a controlling and angry husband who killed his wife.
According to the United States Department of Justice, one-third of the women murdered in America between 1976 and 1999 were killed by either their husband, ex-husband, or boyfriend.
The federal numbers decreased from 1,600 in 1976 to 1,218 in 1999, but it is impossible to know how many spousal murders go unreported or untried.
If not for an investigative fluke, Kenneth Fitzhugh might have been one of those who got away with murder.
Palo Alto Police Officer Gary Brooks intended to check Kristine Fitzhugh's car hours after the murder, but had the wrong electronic keys and ended up accidentally opening Kenneth Fitzhugh's SUV. He looked inside and discovered a pair of tennis shoes under the front seat.
During the trial, Brooks testified he did the "wrong thing" in picking up the shoes with his bare hands while they were in the car, which was outside the yellow police line.
But had he not done so, Fitzhugh might have driven the car -- and vital pieces of evidence -- away. Later, a paper towel and a green shirt were discovered in the car as well, both containing Kristine Fitzhugh's blood.
According to lead investigator Sgt. Detective Mike Denson, those three pieces of evidence made Fitzhugh -- who was never able to explain to police how the items got inside his car -- the prime suspect in the case.
During the last week of testimony, Fitzhugh told the jury he could not remember how the items got into his car because he repressed the memory of how they got there. He said he went under hypnosis to regain the lost memory. While under, Fitzhugh remembered putting them inside the car after administering mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to Kristine.
For Fitzhugh's testimony, local residents and court junkies waited outside the courtroom beginning at dawn in the hopes of getting one of the few seats inside not reserved for media or family.
The final witnesses were hypnosis experts who argued its relative value in the courtroom.
When the verdict was finally read after three days of deliberation, it too was a surprise. Instead of first-degree murder -- as the prosecution had sought -- the jury decided the killing was not premeditated, and gave a ruling of second-degree murder.
As a result, the sentence for Fitzhugh lowered from 25 years to life to 15 years to life. Fitzhugh also gained the possibility of parole.
Fletcher argued for first-degree murder throughout the case, and said afterward he felt the evidence supported such a verdict. Although he was disappointed in the result, he added "I am not going to lose any sleep over it."
What's next for Palo Alto's real-life soap opera/tragedy? On Oct. 10, Fitzhugh is scheduled to be sentenced.
Barbara Babcock, professor of law at Stanford University, said Fitzhugh will likely be looking at a life sentence in prison, since the crime was brutal and Fitzhugh did not admit his guilt.
"Almost any judge would give him the max, which is life" Babcock said.
Nolan hinted Fitzhugh was considering an appeal, saying, "He believes he will be vindicated. He will pursue that vindication."
Nolan was not specific about the grounds on which such an appeal could be based, but did say, "I personally think an error was made."
On the steps of the courtroom following the trial, Nolan was asked why he never asked Fitzhugh point blank whether he murdered his wife. The question agitated the Palo Alto attorney.
"I've finished answering questions. That's Hollywood. That's ridiculous," he said, before walking away from the cameras.
Throughout the proceedings, Fletcher vigorously argued Kenneth Fitzhugh killed Kristine because she was about to tell Justin the identity of his real father.
However, after the verdict was read, the prosecutor admitted it was likely a combination of several factors coming together within Fitzhugh that produced the ensuing tragedy.
"He was angry, he killed Kristine, and now he's going to pay the price," Fletcher concluded.

Engaging Multicultural Audiences in Planetary Science
Agenda | Participants | Resources | Notes | Evaluation Responses
March 11, 2007
Lunar and Planetary Institute
Houston, Texas
Each year, the Lunar and Planetary Institute hosts an educational workshop that examines an issue of interest to the planetary science research and education communities. The workshop is held in association with the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference.
This year we examined the need for — and value of — engaging traditionally underserved multicultural audiences in planetary science exploration. An unprecedented number of missions are exploring our solar system, and our interests in our near neighbors of the Moon and Mars have been reinvigorated. And yet, is our solar system accessible to everyone? How do we share opportunities and discoveries with an increasingly multicultural public audience? How do we actively engage students of all ages from traditionally underserved cultures in exploration? Join us to discuss the diverse needs of diverse audiences and learn strategies to engage multicultural audiences in scientific investigation and discovery.
Our speakers this year included:
- Joyce Winterton, Assistant Administrator for Education, NASA Headquarters
- Michael Ceballos, Director – SKC Molecular Biology and Biochemistry Research Laboratory, Salish Kootenai College
- Marcelo Vazquez, NSBRI/NASA Space Radiation Liaison
- Leon Johnson, Project Director – New York City Space Science Research Alliance
Speakers addressed cultural styles and differences in interaction, learning, and relevance, and presenting viewpoints from diverse backgrounds.

Then, of course, all hullabaloo broke loose on Sept. 24, when Perry's 90210 costar (and on-again, off-again little-screen love) Shannen Doherty married George Hamilton's 19-year-old son Ashley in a last-minute backyard ceremony. The idea of a Luke Perry wedding was momentarily lost from view, a dinghy in a tsunami.
But Saturday evening, Nov. 20, was the big moment for Luke—formally, Coy Luther Perry III—though it would be a couple of days before his publicist would confirm that what had transpired at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills had indeed been a wedding. At any rate, the auburn-haired bride wore an ivory-colored dress and a choker, and the very private ceremony was reportedly attended only by a few friends and family, including Perry's mother and stepfather, Ann and Steve Bennett, and Sharp's parents. (Minnie's father, Alan Sharp, wrote the screenplay for the 1983 Mel Gibson-Sigourney Weaver movie The Year of Living Dangerously.) Among the 50 guests feasting on fish, chicken and champagne at a reception at trendy Pinot Bistro in the San Fernando alley: 90210 costars Jason Priestley (Brandon Walsh), James Eck-house (Jim Walsh) and Brian Austin Green (David Silver). Invited, but not present: 90210 executive producer Aaron Spelling, who was at home, celebrating his 25th anniversary with wife Candy and daughter Tori (90210's Donna).
At about 10 p.m., the couple slipped out the back door (by then, the paparazzi had assembled out front) and into the limo. They then headed to the Los Angeles International Airport, the media in pursuit all the way, as the limo raced along at up to 80 mph. Once at their destination, they remained in the car until minutes before an 11:10 p.m. flight to San Francisco and a honeymoon at an undisclosed destination.
Thus ended the day that ended Perry's reign as one of Hollywood's most eligible bachelors. In the past the teen heartthrob had been a smooth operator who listed among his exes former soap actress Yasmine Bleeth (she was on Ryan's Hope, he was on Loving) and among his admirers Madonna (they were cohosts of an AIDS benefit in 1992). The woman who finally won his heart "will be good for Luke," Aaron Spelling told USA Today. "She's not in show business. Her head is on really straight.-' Asked last year how they got together, Perry made no mention of mailed lingerie and said they had met in a restaurant. "It's about that simple," he declared.
For the past year the two have lived together (with his three Vietnamese potbellied pigs) in what he has described as his "old house on one acre" in the San Fernando Valley. She remained behind this summer when he went off to San Antonio to shoot Eight Seconds. The idea of having the woman who'd roped his heart watching him film difficult bronco-busting scenes was too much, he explained. "I want to be sure I ride every bull as well as I can. I don't want to be thinking about something else."
Commendably single-minded of him, but where does that leave the rest of American womanhood? Well, it may turn out that this was the right time for Perry, with 90210 rapidly maturing, to allow the public to see him behaving like a sensible grownup and slop thinking of him as a snake-hipped Beverly Hills boy with bedroom eyes. The days of mall mobbings, when a Perry appearance could produce a squealing sea of girls, are gone. "It is over," says Stacey Fleck, an editor for teenage fanzines Bop and Big Bopper. "Luke still has his die-hard fans, and I'm sure some girls will go, 'Oh, I can't believe it!' But they're a little more jaded these days. They'll also say, 'Oh, perhaps he'll get divorced.' "
Congratulations, Luke. Looks as if you've graduated.

So far, our style exposure to Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o [1] has mostly been on the red carpet — and what a red carpet it's been [2]! While the bold color choices, zippy prints, and seriously intriguing necklines of her formalwear have the entire fashion world singing her praises, her off-duty style is proving to be just as spot-on.
For an airport run [3], she picked black jeans and a white t-shirt, topped off with a simple, comfortable-looking light gray blazer. You likely have a version of her shoes, basic black ankle boots, at home already, but we're willing to bet you don't have that red satchel sitting around in your closet (not yet at least!). It's one of Miu Miu [4]'s new Spring bags, proving that the just-minted style star clearly is up on the season's latest and greatest carryalls and totes [5].
Scroll down to check out the shots of Lupita and then shop similar styles to everything she's wearing.
