Attic Ladder suggestions
I have a weird situation. I want to install an attic ladder, but my attic access, instead of being on the ceiling is on a vertical wall. The ceilings in my home are vaulted, so there is no attic, except in one area. On a wall there is a small cut out that you have to climb 3-4 feet up in to.
I have been unsuccessful in finding an off the shelf product, but my carpentry skills are decent enough that if I draw up some plans I can build one myself. I was thinking of a draw bridge or murphy bed type concept, where if you pull a rope a set of stairs will come down. Have it counter weighted so that it doesn't drop like a stack of bricks on my head. I want it clean and professional looking... Maybe I can take photos of what I am talking about and give dimensions and post it up.
Anyone have any ideas on how to do this?
I'm not so sure that I'd personally go to any special effort for 3-4 feet. I can hop up into that, or grab the closest chair for a boost. Hey, post pictures if you build something.
Actually I measured it last night. The "hop" is a little over 4 feet, and it is in a finished off area of the house where there isn't a ladder or chair (or closet to hold such items) conveniently around.
The ceiling is 9 feet in this particular room, and the opening is like 2.5ft wide x 3 ft high... the very badly needed attic space is like 16'x20'. We have a fully finished walk out basement with full bath and home theatre, so there much storage to speak of down there. Garage has 2 Harleys, a wave runner/trailer and bikes and toys for a family of 5... Most of the 2nd floor has 9'-15' ceilings, except in one area, which is this attic I would like access to.
We can cram quite a bit in 320 sq ft, so we would like to utilize it...and have easy in and out access to get at stuff, either daily or weekly.
I was thinking of a simple ladder attached to a board? Since the opening is 4' off the floor and the ceiling is 9' tall, I figured I could just cut the attic opening up a bit to the ceiling...making it a 2.5ft to 5ft opening. Then just make a 5 ft long ladder and attach it to board and hinge it to the wall (like a a drawbridge).
My 2 concerns are, how do I counter weight it? Also, is 5 ft long enough for the ladder, because I wonder if the step ladder will be awkward to climb up???
You can locate spring assist hinges, or even get facny and use a gas charged lift, like is used on auto trucks and hatchbacks...they are cheap and there are universal ones that you can make work, if you can design the step/stair.
I like the spring assist hinges, and the idea of a gas charged lift. I was even thinking of something that utilizes a garage door opener, but I think that would be overkill...although the idea of it being totally automated would be cool, but I don't want to overcomplicate something simple (which is something my wife says I constantly do)... I tend to go overboard on home projects.
Are these spring assist hinges something I can get straight out of a Grainger or McMaster, I have commercial accounts for both.
Do a google search....spring loaded hinges, spring assist, ...that is where I would go first.

How too's of lead
I want to learn how to use lead as a body filler. I realize that it can be dangerous, and many feel as thought it's a lost art that doesn't need to be found. However, I am interested in learning how to do this. Does anyone know of any websites that can show me this? I am quite interested in this.

Have some patience
There are some old body guys around here that have used a lot of that stuff and still know how..Hopefully they will get around to responding..
In the meanwhile I would suggest that you use the search function and see what has been posted on this in the past..
I do know that the metal needs to be absolutely clean and then flux is applied then the hot lead is applied....
There is also a metal benders site at www.metalmeet.com that has a lot of info on metal work so you may wish to go over there and check that site out..
Good luck
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..
The Eastwood Company has a video on body filling that includes lead. I used it when I leaded the work on my '50 Plymouth back in the early 80's. Some areas have failed now and I have seen many factory leaded seams that have failed. As stated it must be super clean to start and be cleaned very well afterwards. Beeswax is used to smooth the lead with a wooden paddle and it is difficult to get all the contaminants removed. It is a lot of fun, but as with anything takes a lot of practice. I did the whole car and still don't think I am very proficient... As you said- be careful with safety- the older fellas I talked to when I was learning warned of 'Mad Hatter's Disease'- I guess the old hats made in the time of tophats and such were blocked using lead and the workers went crazy as it affects the nervous system... (maybe that's why I'm so....... nevermind!!) Anyway- good luck- be safe- check old local bodymen, look up famous customizers like Bill Hines and maybe Darryl Starbird? ( I know Bill is the Master of Leading!!!)...
Thanks for taking the time to respond and for the advice.

Dessert has been the most maligned and, at the same time, the most revered course on the modern menu. "Sweet, rich, and decadent" have been translated in recent diet-crazed years to "fattening, caloric, and overindulgent." Who better to rescue dessert from doom than American's favorite French chef, Jacques Pépin?
In this wonderful collection of fruit desserts, Jacques reminds us that the last course can be healthy, light, and easy to prepare, while still being heavenly to eat. Over 115 simple and inspiring recipes, including Blackberries in Creamy Honey Sauce, classic Baked Apple Tart, Top-Crust Cherry Pie, and Raspberry Trifle with Nectarine Sauce are all endowed with Jacques's sophisticated sensibility, resulting in the ease and elegance that are his culinary signatures.

Mar 9, 2012 - By Craig Blumenshine, Staff WriterCASPER -- Shaking off a disappointing loss Thursday, the Riverton Wolverines extended a four-point lead at the end of three quarters to bury the Casper Natrona Mustangs 63-46 in consolation play Friday at the state Class 4-A state basketball tournament in Casper.
It was Riverton's first win at a state tournament since 1995. With RHS leading 42-38 after three, Xavier Webb scored the first eight points of the quarter -- he had 11 total fourth-quarter points -- to lead Riverton to the win.
Spenser Yowell, Kade Salisbury, Kole Stewart and Michael Johnston also scored in the fourth to help put Natrona out of the tournament.
It was the second straight week Riverton had beaten Natrona. Exactly one week ago, the Wolverines downed the Mustangs 60-45 in a semifinal game of the West 4-A tournament in Riverton.
Johnston's two consecutive blocked shots and a layup with 10 seconds to play put an explanation point on Riverton's win.
Natrona's Tof Chapin led all scorers with 15.
Yowell had 14 for Riverton, and Webb added 12. Salisbury and Stewart each scored eight points.
"It was a great response for our kids today," Riverton head coach Dick Quayle said.
The Wolverines play the winner of the Casper Kelly Walsh vs. Cheyenne East game for the fifth-place trophy at 9 a.m. Saturday at the Casper Events Center.
Central 42, Riverton 37
A high school basketball game is 32 minutes long. Thursday at Casper College during the first round of the Wyoming Class 4-A basketball tournament, the Riverton Wolverines wished the game could have stopped at halftime.
After playing inspired basketball in the first two quarters and jumping out to a nine-point halftime lead, ice cold Wolverine shooting, turnovers and soft interior defense allowed Cheyenne Central to mount a strong second-half comeback to overtake Riverton 42-37.
Central advanced to the state semifinals and will play Gillette Friday night after Gillette beat Natrona 68-51. Evanston was the only team to survive first-round play from the West conference with a 55-43 win over Cheyenne East. The Red Devils will battle Sheridan, which squeaked by Casper Kelly Walsh 49-48.
"The team that I saw in the first half was not the team I was familiar with. The second half is who we are," Cheyenne Central head coach Dout Moratzka said.
Riverton head coach Dick Quayle must have thought the opposite about his team.
Wolverine junior Coley Nicholls got Riverton rolling early with the first 3-point shot of the day at the 4:15 mark in the first quarter. Central had to take a timeout. Riverton was able to keep up the pressure and forced two consecutive Central turnovers and, after a bucket from Seth Quayle and two Jordan Belville free throws, Riverton was up 11-7 after the first quarter.
Xavier Webb opened the second quarter with a 3-point shot that put Riverton up by seven. Buckets from Nicholls and Quayle put Riverton up by 11, their biggest lead of the day.
As well as Riverton played in the first half, the second half, and especially the third quarter was all Central.
The Indians mounted a 10-0 run to end the third quarter -- the game was tied at 29-29 after three -- and scored four more to start the fourth to take a 33-29 lead with 5:57 left to play.
"We gave them some easy baskets. They did a better job of handling the ball. They did some good things. We missed some shots and didn't attack where we could have. We played hard but didn't get it done," Quayle said.
The Wolverines managed to keep it close down the stretch. Webb's trey -- Riverton was just one of eight from beyond the arc in the second half -- followed by a Quayle free-throw got Riverton to within two with 37.5 seconds still on the clock.
Central gave Riverton a chance when Colton Wardell missed one of two free throws and Riverton, then Central, each called timeouts with 11.6 on the clock.
The Wolverines set two screens to free up Webb to have a good -- but long -- look from beyond where an NBA 3-point line would be on the court at the top of they key.
Webb's shot didn't fall. Spenser Yowell got the offensive rebound for Riverton and opted to turn toward the basket rather than pass the ball back outside for another chance at a 3-pointer. An official's whistle blew for traveling, and the Indians had the state win.
"I really feel like we are a better team, but they played better in the second half. Our kids played hard, and I was happy with their effort," Quayle said.
Webb led Riverton scores with 11, but as a team, the Wolverines shot just 31 percent from inside the arc and committed 18 turnovers compared to Central's 10.

By TCN News,
New Delhi: Jamiat Ulema-I-Hind has expressed grave concern at non-inclusion of religion and language in the form for Census 2011. The move has caused serious apprehension among the minorities as they see it as a deliberate attempt to deny them their basic rights and privileges, Jamiat President Maulana Qari Sayed Mohammad Usman said.
Qari Usman drew the attention of the Prime Minister of India towards non-inclusion of columns on religion and language in the census form 2011. He has also conveyed the same apprehension through the Minority Commission to the concerned authorities. But so far no action has been taken in this direction. He stressed that religion and caste columns should be included without further delay.
"Non-inclusion of religion and caste columns in the census form has caused serious apprehension and it is creating an impression that this is an attempt to deny basic rights and privileges of the minority community. This move of the government is violating constitutional rights of the minority which Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind will never condone, Jamiat leader said.
Maulana Mahmood Madani, leader of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind said that it is a good sign that the Prime Minister while accepting the ground social reality had assured to include caste column, however it would remain incomplete unless columns on religion and language were included. He further said that India was recognised as a multi-religious country at international level. If this identity is erased then it will cause great damage to our pluralistic identity.
Maulana Madani asserted that Sachar Committee report highlighted the social and educational backwardness of minorities especially Muslims and it was hoped that the government would take appropriate action for their upliftment. But if during this census Muslims are not identified as a Muslim then on what ground the government will devise policy and programme for their upliftment. Therefore the Government must include columns of religion and language in the census form.

Various faculty displayed posters of their programs, explained their professional development and shared their new ideas and knowledge with their colleagues.
Western Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr.Patricia Manzanares-Gonzales commended faculty members for their efforts. She announced that a new program has been implemented to offer faculty an incentive to receive grant money — for every grant that is written requesting over$100,000, the staff member who wrote the grant will receive $1,000 for their program from the university, whether they receive the grant or not.
The Sponsored Programs and Grants mixer is a biennial event, put on by program director Janice Welborn. For more information visit the Office of Sponsored Programs and Grants' website.

Scott Cohn
Assistant Professor of Psychology
Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences
Dr. Cohn and his students engaged in research to determine how many recyclable materials on campus were being put into the garbage. By digging through trash each day before it was carried out of Borick Business Building, they discovered that 40 percent of recycling ended up in the trash. They discovered that by moving recycling bins and positioning them right next to trash cans, they could improve recycling considerably.

Chris Luekenga
WRAP Judicial Coordinator
In 2009, Western received a $2.5 million grant to address student drinking. Before that time,there were no campus programs to address alcohol education and drinking prevention. Western's Responsible Alcohol Program was started, and a fine and parent notification system was implemented to deter students. WRAP also sponsors alternative late-night programs. Since the program was implemented, recidivism rates have gone from 35 percent to 9.4 percent, and binge drinking numbers have decreased 12 percent.
Jack Lucido
Assistant Professor of Communication

Interstate Accidents
Earlier this month there were two accidents on I-75 involving semi-trucks, where two people died.
Wednesday and Thursday, Troopers will be out on the roads watching for unsafe drivers, especially those who could cause accidents between passenger vehicles and large trucks.
Troopers say truck drivers need to make sure they have enough rest, keep a proper distance, and be alert for other drivers who may not be driving safely.
"Message to the drivers is you have to respect the size of the big truck because they are carrying a heavy load and it takes longer for these guys to stop," says Lt. Mike Burroughs with Florida Highway Patrol.
Troopers also want remind drivers that if they do see an emergency vehicles or patrol car on the side of the road, they do need to move over so they can do their job safety.

no extra noise from mine- in town or out
This is a discussion on STi under aero bits within the Exterior and Appearance forums, part of the Tutorials & DIY category; no extra noise from mine- in town or out...
no extra noise from mine- in town or out
"Simplify and add lightness." - Colin Chapman
I haven't posted on this forum in a LONG time.
I found this link on saab92x.com. Just ordered mine and they will be going on hopefully next week with some other goodies.
Phil from Element mentioned to me how squirrly the rear-end got at high speeds because I have a wagon, so I've been planning on a mod to improve the aerodynamics. Hopefully this will be what I'm looking for.
Let us know if it works for you
"Simplify and add lightness." - Colin Chapman
Hey... where are you guys buying the side under bits? I can only find the rear diffuser piece at subarugenuineparts and other places.
dealer- they are oe pieces off of the 05+ STi -part #'s listed at the begining Jamie at subarugenuineparts can get them too- maybe cheaper than your dealer- just give her the part #'s
"Simplify and add lightness." - Colin Chapman
I looked under my 06 WRX wagon where the side under pieces would go... and it looks quite smooth under there. So... are the side under panels more for evening out the depth of the underside to be flush with the edge of the car?
It's not like there are a lot of things sticking out down that that the panels actually cover up. The things that do stick out the most (suspension arms, exhaust) can't be covered up. The diffuser, on the other hand seems to make a smoother path over bits and bobs of the section from the rear axels back.
Anyways, I'm wondering if the rear diffuser itself is effective enough or if it's only worth it (as far as it does work) with the side pieces. I understand that there's a camp of thought that says none of this stuff means anything. However, I try to have a sensitive butt dyno and even small differences are appreciated; and it's just fun to do.
I'm a believer in that every little bit helps- so if your only doing the rear diffuser it's better than not having anything.
While it's relatively smooth where the side panels go- it's also a rather largish "pocket" which can cause lift- the side pieces gets rid of those voids.
I'd avoid camping where anyone thinks that smoothing out the underside will not reduce lift

I'm having trouble installing the STi rear diffuser on my 07 WRX. I have no clue where to mount the silver brackets. Am I suppose to drill into the spare tire tray?

the oe brackets you have are welded in the new cars- you can have them welded (obviously make damn sure they are in the correct spot before doing so)- they alos can be bolted in as well- necessitates drilling into the spare tire well- again measure 3 times drill once

The bracket just doesn't line up to anything. I might swing by a dealer and take a peak under a STi. Just hope there are no cops around . Could anyone save me the trouble with pics?

This is a dope post.
I custom fabed me a skid plate
It was originaly made out of 3/16" SS plate but it weighed 40lbs. You could jack the whole car up on it without it bending
My new one is some 16gadge it works good but that vented on is somthing to consider. I work for a steel shop so it would be easy to make.
pics will help w/ general orientation, it's still going to take a lot of futzing/measuring to get them aligned exactly right. maybe some two sided sticky tape so you can stick them up and move them around some- checking w/ the diffuser that the holes line up
also having the rear bracket attached will give you a good idea where the other three need to be

A week ago, Oldham County coach Coy Zerhusen thought his team came out flat defensively against Grant County, but there was no notion of that happening again Tuesday against Manual. The Colonels won 83-46 in the first round of the Pegasus Sports Network Best in Hoops tournament after a dominant defensive performance.
For the second consecutive year, South Oldham has started the season 7-0. The Dragons defeated Anderson County 81-70 Thursday night in an Eighth Region bout. Anderson County was ranked as the pre-season number one team in the Eighth Region while South Oldham was ranked a spot below the Bearcats.
Less than 24 hours after its first loss of the season, Oldham County bounced back with a 56-49 win against Presentation on Saturday afternoon in the Ronald McDonald House Classic. Alexis Head scored 18 points while Madison Clark and Sophia Head added 13 points and 10 points, respectively.
For the second consecutive year, South Oldham boys basketball is 4-0 after a 97-54 win over Grant County on Friday night. Joe Griffin scored 19 of his game-high 22 points in the first half and Aaron Franklin made seven 3-pointers as the Dragons cruised to victory.
South Oldham's feverish comeback in the final minute fell short as the Lady Dragons lost to host Floyd Central 58-54 on Thursday night. Three Lady Dragons scored in double figures, Sydney Herold (14 points), Maggie Smith (11 points) and Lexi Bowlden (10 points).
Despite a bevy of adversity in the past month, for the fourth consecutive year, Oldham County wrestling won the Oldham Super Duals. The Colonels defeated Simon Kenton in the championship 45-31 on Saturday. North Oldham and South Oldham also wrestled at the event, but neither placed.

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2002
Vintage Sparkling Wine from Champagne, France
Winemaker's Notes
Its pale golden yellow is characteristic from the best Chardonnay grapes in the Cote des Blancs. The very fresh nose offers a wonderful combination of minerality and fruity sweetness. This is very quickly followed by elegant fruit aromas which include mandarin and orange peel. The mid palate is ample, intense and rich. Notes of mandarin, fresh pineapple and lightly candied fruit balance with the acidity. The finish is very expressive. Made with 100% Chardonnay.
A perfect accompaniment to first courses such as seafood and shellfish.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "Taittinger's 2002 Brut Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne is off the charts. I have tasted the 2002 now many times, and it has never been less than thrilling. A vivid kaleidoscope of pure Chardonnay aromas and flavors opens up in the glass. The 2002 is at once incredibly rich yet also totally weightless and impeccable in its balance. All the classic Comtes notes are there, but with a level of detail and nuance I don't think I have ever seen before. The 2002 is breathtakingly beautiful today, but also appears to have the stuffing to age for decades. Personally, I would be looking to buy the 2002 in magnums if at all possible. Sadly, there is little wine to go around as 2002 was a very short crop. Readers who can track down the 2002 are in store for something truly great. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2042."
Wine Spectator - "A rich base of toasted brioche and briny mineral supports flavors of poached quince, white peach puree, fleur de sel, pastry and smoked almond. There's a quiet verve to this wine, with a fine, silky texture throughout. "
Champagne Taittinger Winery
Champagne Taittinger was established in 1931 by Pierre Taittinger on the foundations of Forest-Forneaux, itself established in 1734 and the third-oldest wine producing house of Champagne. Taittinger is today proprietor of approximately 600 acres of vines among which are included parcels in the one hundred - percent rated villages of Cramant and Avize in the Cote des Blancs; and Bouzy, Mailly, Ambonnay and Verzenay in the Montagne de Reims. The Taittinger Estate is one of the three most extensive in the Champagne district, and the firm's major holdings in Chardonnay vineyards are the physical expression of the Taittinger philosophy and style.

About ChampagneView a map of Champagne wineries Champagne is both a region and a method. The wines come from the northernmost vineyards in France and the name conjures an image like no other can. An 18th Century Benedictine monk named Dom Perignon is said to be the first to blend both varietals and vintages, making good wines not only great, but also special and unique to their winemaker. Today, nearly 75% of Champagne produced is non-vintage and made up by a blend of several years' harvests.
All Champagnes must be made by a strictly controlled process called "Méthode Champenoise." The grapes are pressed and fermented for the first time. The blending phase follows and the wine is bottled and temporarily capped. Then comes the second fermentation, a blend of sugar and yeast is added and, this time, the carbon dioxide is kept inside the bottle. This process leaves a great deal of sediment that is extracted through a process of "racking" or "riddling." The bottles are progressively turned upside down until all the sediment is collected in the neck. The necks are then frozen and the sediment is "disgorged." After this phase, the winemaker may decide to add sugar to sweeten the wine. Finally the wine is corked. Some wines move through this process in a couple of months, while others are aged after the riddling phase to build greater complexity and depth.
Champagnes range from dry, "Brut," to slightly sweet, "Demi-Sec." Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes are used in Champagne blends, but "Blancs de Noirs" is made entirely of Pinot Noir and "Blancs de Blanc" is made from only Chardonnay grapes. The high acidity achieved by the northern location is crucial to the balance and structure of these wines.
Not every year is a "vintage" declared. In years when it is not, the wines are blended with the produce from other years to create the non-vintage blend, the house style that remains constant from year to year. But in a great vintage year, champagne houses will bottle by itself the unblended year's produce, and use other portions as "reserve" wines to supplement and enrich the non-vintage blend. A vintage champagne can age quite gracefully, and gain complexity just like any other great still wine.
Mild cheeses like gruyere and shellfish pair nicely with Champagne. Also, oysters and Champagne is a popular combination. A full-flavored vintage Champagne can go with almost any meal.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

I am trying to decide the best way to let you both know I am still with you.. and always will be.

I love to run with Buddy.. he is so funny! He is a wonderful big brother always protecting me and making sure I know my way. Uncle Davey loves to take walks with me. I met some new friends too!! Casey and Lucky... do you know them? They are warm and friendly.... And a brand new friend just this week.. It's uncle Cliff. This was a big surprise ! He is still finding his way and knows many people here. He petted me for a long time yesterday.
So much to tell you, but I am sleepy now. It's sunny and warm and I am heading to lay in it... Kitty Dolly is already there, waiting for me.
I love you mommy and daddy..... Grandmas and grandpa.. uncle Jimmy aunt Julie.... aunt Melanie... Rhi and James and Angie and Theresa.... Aunt Elaine and Lauren and aunt Anna and Echa too!!
More soon... :)
Well, heaven is better than anything I could have imagined... not that I ever did, my mommy talked about it alot the last 3 and a half months we were together....
Right up until the very moment I left there and came here, she kept whispering " don't forget what I told you... Uncle Davey would find me and I would see Lulu and Buddy and Lola and Kitty".... I hope she knows I did find Michael . ( like she hoped I would)
I saw how sad mommy and daddy were the second I got here. ... and many many moments ( often long moments)after I left there ... "i'm ok .. I'm OK... I miss you all terribly, but It's nice here too... and Uncle Davey told me that someday, far in the future.. we will all be together again...."
Guess what? I can eat treats now!! I never could before, because they made me so so sick! Ohhhhh and I can see!! Oh all the pretty things I have missed since I lost my sight... I can see them again!
Lulu isn't much for playing , but she lets me snuggle with her at night.. all night, too.
Buddy is a great friend and follows me everywhere! Lola and I have become great friends .. since we are both so new here.
Oh I have to go for now, it's time to play!! Oooh and guess what else??? EVERY SOFT TOY HAS LIKE A MILLION TAGS ON THEM FOR ME TO CHEW OFF!!!!!!!!!

Juilliard's performing orchestral ensembles give more than 30 concerts each season at Lincoln Center in the Peter Jay Sharp Theater, Alice Tully Hall, and David Geffen Hall, as well as in Carnegie Hall and other venues around New York City. Participation in these ensembles provides a solid foundation for instrumentalists hoping to join professional orchestras. In fact, numerous Juilliard alumni have become first-chair players and section members in orchestras in both the United States and abroad.
Following is a list of Juilliard's various orchestral ensembles. (Click on the name to expand the selection.)
The Juilliard Orchestra, Juilliard's largest and most visible performing ensemble, is comprised of all orchestral instrumental majors in the bachelor's and master's degree programs. Under the musical leadership of Alan Gilbert, the director of conducting and orchestral studies, the Juilliard Orchestra is also led by numerous world-renowned guest conductors, including John Adams, Marin Alsop, Vladimir Ashkenazy, James Conlon, Charles Dutoit, James Gaffigan, Fabio Luisi, Bernard Haitink, James Levine, David Robertson, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Leonard Slatkin, Michael Tilson Thomas, David Zinman, and many others. The Juilliard Orchestra performs regularly at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall, as well as in opera and dance productions, special events and broadcasts, and national and international tours.
All undergraduates begin their orchestral studies with Orchestra Orientation, a three-week orchestra cycle comprised of seminars, workshops, and rehearsals designed to prepare students for the rigors of the Juilliard Orchestra. Led by Maestro Gilbert, the Orchestra Orientation also calls upon Juilliard faculty and members of the New York Philharmonic and Metropolitan Opera Orchestra to lead discussions, coach sectionals, and play in side-by-side rehearsals.
The Juilliard Chamber Orchestra (J.C.O.) works without a conductor using a shared leadership model. Musical decisions are made by the players, with guidance from the coaches. J.C.O. explores all the roles that a conductor normally plays, and as a group discusses how best to divide those responsibilities. It is the goal that each participant will come away from the experience with new respect for a conductor's role, and with a new insight into what each player can do to expedite the rehearsal process and make performances better. Lead coach Eric Bartlett is a 31-year veteran of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and a member of the New York Philharmonic since 1997.
The Wind Orchestra, which was inaugurated in the 2014-15 season, provides an opportunity to study and perform important staples of the wind repertoire, including such masterworks as the Beethoven Octet in E flat Major, Op. 103, Strauss Serenade in E flat for 13 winds, Dvořák Serenade, Op. 44, and Stravinsky Octet. Each cycle is conducted by a Juilliard woodwind faculty member or prominent performer, such as flutist Michael Parloff, bassoonist Patricia Rogers, and clarinetist Charles Neidich.
Founded and directed by faculty member Joel Sachs, the New Juilliard Ensemble is the School's chief proponent of recent music. A chamber orchestra consisting of 13 to 30 performers, it offers two concerts each semester that feature works of the last 10 years, along with some rarely performed major compositions of the post-World War II period. Most performances are premieres, and an increasing number of works are being written for the ensemble by composers around the world, as well as by Juilliard student composers. Participation is voluntary, and participation is by audition.
Conducted by faculty member Jeffrey Milarsky, AXIOM is dedicated to performing masterworks of the 20th and 21st centuries. Since its debut performance in Avery Fisher Hall in February 2006, the group has established itself as a leading ensemble in New York City's contemporary music culture with performances in Lincoln Center and throughout New York City. Participation is voluntary, and auditions are held on a case-by-case basis.
The Lab Orchestra is conducted by students of the Orchestral Conducting program under the supervision of Alan Gilbert, and gives both the student conductors and student musicians the opportunity to learn major works of orchestral repertoire while working each week with Maestro Gilbert and/or special guests. It typically meets weekly on Friday mornings and performs once each semester. Because participation in Lab is voluntary and requires a major time commitment beyond regular orchestral studies, members are paid a small stipend through the student work-study program.

Applying Dispersive Changes to Lagrangian Particles in Groundwater Transport Models

Method-of-characteristics groundwater transport models require that changes in concentrations computed within an Eulerian framework to account for dispersion be transferred to moving particles used to simulate advective transport. A new algorithm was developed to accomplish this transfer between nodal values and advecting particles more precisely and realistically compared to currently used methods. The new method scales the changes and adjustments of particle concentrations relative to limiting bounds of concentration values determined from the population of adjacent nodal values. The method precludes unrealistic undershoot or overshoot for concentrations of individual particles. In the new method, if dispersion causes cell concentrations to decrease during a time step, those particles in the cell having the highest concentration will decrease the most, and those with the lowest concentration will decrease the least. The converse is true if dispersion is causing concentrations to increase. Furthermore, if the initial concentration on a particle is outside the range of the adjacent nodal values, it will automatically be adjusted in the direction of the acceptable range of values. The new method is inherently mass conservative.

Steamboat City Council to discuss ban on medical marijuana businesses
Council will also discuss noise ordinance at meeting Tuesday
May 16, 2011
Agenda highlights
All times are estimates, or according to agenda schedule, and subject to change
4:30 p.m. Dinner with representatives of the Upper Yampa Water Conservancy District
5 p.m. Meeting convenes; 45-minute work session with the Upper Yampa district; 30-minute update on the city's first-quarter financials
6:15 p.m. Discussion of potential revisions to the city's noise regulations; discussion of whether to ban medical marijuana centers in Steamboat
7 p.m. Public comment; possible continuation of marijuana ban discussion; first reading of ordinance that would lessen approval process for mobile vendors; second readings of ordinances that would: approve city's $11.9 million loan, through the Colorado Water Resources and Power Development Authority, for water infrastructure projects; approve fourth supplemental 2011 budget request, including allocation of grant revenues to the city's airport fund, and of general fund revenues to the ice arena fund; establish new boundaries for City Council districts; and approve revisions to the city's medical marijuana center regulations.
9 p.m. First reading of ordinance that would change city codes to allow increased divisions of some lots; second reading of ordinance adding Complete Streets requirements to city codes; economic development update; staff and council reports.
Steamboat Springs — A city report regarding whether to ban medical marijuana centers in Steamboat Springs leaves the door open for final approval of a ban as soon as June 7, a future public vote, or final approval of revised regulations that would allow centers to continue operating, setting the stage for a wide-ranging conversation tonight in Centennial Hall.
Such conversations are occurring across Colorado.
Dan Foote, city staff attorney, provided the Steamboat Springs City Council with extensive information in preparation for tonight's discussion. Citing data from the Colorado Municipal League, Foote wrote that more than 100 Colorado counties and municipalities have decided in the past two years — by ordinance or election — whether to allow medical marijuana businesses.
"Voters in Fraser and Minturn rejected bans," Foote wrote, adding that at least 37 elections have occurred on the industry statewide. "Voters in Pueblo and Fruita approved taxes but did not specifically address prohibition."
Thirty-three of those elections, he added, resulted in bans of medical marijuana businesses.
"At least 63 city councils or town boards have adopted ordinances regarding the regulation or prohibition of medical marijuana. Forty-two of them prohibited commercial marijuana businesses and 21 of them permitted commercial marijuana businesses with regulations," Foote continued.
He said mountain and resort communities have been split on the issue.
Breckenridge, Durango, Fraser, Carbondale, Buena Vista, Silverton, Telluride and Aspen have imposed regulations, Foote wrote, and Vail, Eagle, Avon, Dillon, Granby and Hot Sulphur Springs have enacted or voted for bans.
The topic of a ban in Steamboat Springs arose April 5, when Steamboat Springs Police Capt. Joel Rae and Dr. Brian Harrington, of Yampa Valley Medical Associates, expressed their support of a ban to the City Council. Also that night, the council gave initial approval to revised regulations for the local medical marijuana industry.
Since that night, city officials have received at least 20 letters on the topic, from people supporting and against a ban. Those letters and Foote's full reports are available in the agenda posted with this story at SteamboatToday.com.
Tonight's discussion could occur in two parts. The first, earlier in the meeting, is a discussion of whether to consider a ban. The second, likely to occur after 7 p.m., is a second reading of the regulatory ordinance.
Foote said the council could decide to amend that ordinance with a ban that would then be up for second reading — and potential final approval — June 7.
He said he didn't think such a change to an existing ordinance would be a circumvention of the public process.
"The (city) charter expressly allows us to amend an ordinance after first reading, and there's no limit (to changes), so I think it's in our power to do it," Foote said.
He added that discussion of a ban April 5, tonight and June 7 would be "more than adequate public process."
Business implications
Kevin Fisher, of Rocky Mountain Remedies, disagreed, calling any City Council action toward a ban "completely inappropriate" Monday.
"Everything we've done has been in complete compliance with the city," Fisher said.
He said a ban could set a bad precedent for businesses that receive approval to open in Steamboat.
"There needs to be some kind of guarantee from the city that we're not going to immediately shut you down after you make this kind of investment," Fisher said.
He said those opposing the industry could collect petition signatures and place the issue on a ballot for a public vote.
Foote said the meat of tonight's discussion likely would occur during the earlier agenda item regarding a ban because that could dictate what happens with the regulatory ordinance.
City Manager Jon Roberts said Monday that he'd talked with a couple of City Council members about the issue but did not yet have any indication of consensus, particularly with unknown factors such as potential county action.
"I do not really have a strong sense of what direction this whole discussion is going to take," Roberts said. "I'm looking forward to sitting there (tonight) and actively listening."
The City Council will begin tonight's meeting with a 45-minute work session with the Upper Yampa Water Conservancy District, to discuss future water planning needs, goals and strategies.
Also tonight, the City Council will discuss potential revisions to city noise regulations, to guide city staff in preparing revisions that could enter the formal public approval process, through the Steamboat Springs Planning Commission and City Council, in coming weeks.

L.A. Domestic Partner Registry Opens Thursday, May 6
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk
Our Sponsors
(LOS ANGELES, May 4, 1999) -- The first couples to be recognized as domestic partners by Los Angeles County will celebrate with other supporters of the newly created County registry, as unmarried couples line up to register on Thursday, May 6.
Sharing a 'Just Registered' cake at the ribbon-festooned festivities, several couples also will take part in a news conference Thursday hosted by Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund and the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center, joined by L.A. City Councilmember Jackie Goldberg.
Goldberg, a leading registry proponent, along with her partner of 20 years, Sharon Stricker, will be among the first couples to register under the newly passed domestic partner ordinance.
"This day is about more than a framed certificate for Sharon and me. We are making a public declaration about our lives and our hearts, which I hope will bolster public recognition of lesbian and gay families like ours. This registry may also help add security to many couples' lives, as more employers realize how easy it is to offer their workers benefits for their domestic partners."
Just in time for Mother's Day: the County's first day of accepting domestic partner registrations comes just before Mother's Day weekend, a holiday that will have added significance for some couples.
Goldberg added, "The simple act of stepping forward and registering our partnership has extra meaning for us. When we celebrate Mother's Day this Sunday with our son Brian, having the County's official recognition of our love and commitment will make the day extra special."
Said Jennifer C. Pizer, managing attorney of Lambda's Western Regional Office in Los Angeles, "Registering as domestic partners means that the government acknowledges our relationships, sending a strong public message of respect for our families." Pizer, who co-authored the ordinance, will register with her partner of nearly 15 years, Doreena Wong.
"Let me make it clear," Pizer added, "domestic partner registration is not marriage and it does not bring the broad range of rights and responsibilities that come only with civil marriage. But this is an important public declaration and we hope it will inspire more people to join the County in respecting our commitment and love for each other."
"This is an historic opportunity for lesbian and gay couples to register their relationships, marking the first official recognition of these relationships for residents of Los Angeles County," said Gwenn A. Baldwin, executive director of the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center. "It is, however, just a first step toward full civil rights."
Lambda and the Gay & Lesbian Center used the first registration day to encourage lesbian and gay couples -- who do not have the freedom to marry -- to prepare health care powers of attorney, wills and other legal documents that can help them protect each other in times of crisis. The registry also is open to non-gay couples who choose not to marry.
"Lesbian and gay couples must complete important additional documents to protect themselves, and this is a good reminder that we should all get our paperwork in order!" Pizer said.
The Registrar-Recorder's Office will be offering every newly registered couple the statutorily approved form entitled "Durable Power of Attorney For Health Care," also available on Lambda's Web site at www.lambdalegal.org. For referrals to attorneys for preparation of wills, trusts and other life planning documents, couples will be urged to call the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center at 323-993-7670.
Los Angeles County Assessor Kenneth Hahn, among the most senior level of elected county officials, also will register on Thursday with his partner of twenty-five years, Louis Mangual. Said Hahn, "We have looked forward to this day for a very long time. After these many years of joy and commitment to each other, it comes as a special pleasure that the County is extending its official recognition to our relationship in our silver anniversary year."

I second that thank you!
Get this...I called Devachan last week for an appointment with Carlos and was told that "he is in Europe"! I said I wanted to make my appointment for October and was told "we aren't sure when he'll be back". They then tried to get me to book with this person I hadn't heard of (at the same price, of course).
I knew something sounded shady so my friend told me to check this site. I'm so glad I did! I booked my appt. with Carlos and turns out he's just down the street from Devachan!
Thx again

Hey there fellow Fett-fans. I know this is a mainly Mandalorian website, but this is Star Wars related.
I'm considering either buying, or making a Clone Trooper costume, for my 7 yr old daughter. So, I am appealing to the collective wisdom and experience of this forum for input and experience. Here are a few questions I have.
1. Should I buy or scratch-make kid armor?
2. If I buy, suggestions on who/where and what to look out for.
3. Clone trooper costume-building websites.
Thanks in advance for all the input.

Domain Names
Domain names are usually an important part of the intellectual property portfolio of a business. They add credibility, create a presence on the internet, attract business opportunities, and can help establish a business brand. This presentation provides insight on how to select and maintain a strong domain name, strategies to create a strong internet
presence and tactics for limiting attacks by cybersquatters and typosquatters.

Cut the tongue
Mark the cut post top for a tongue. The tongue should be 33⁄8 inches long and wider at its base than at its shoulders. Make it 1 inch wide at the base, tapering to ½ inch at the shoulders.
Set a circular saw to make a cut 1½ inches deep, and cut the line at the top of the shoulder. Then set the saw to full depth and cut the other (tapered) line, taking care not to cut too far.
Flip the post over and cut from the other side, then finish the cut using a handsaw. Cut the other side of the tongue in the same way.

About the AssemblyThe Legislative Assembly is the parliament of Prince Edward Island, made up of the law-makers and the independent offices and officials who support their work. The 27 elected members represent the constituents of their respective districts as the House considers legislation. Once legislation is passed by the members and assented to by the Lieutenant Governor it becomes law.
Most importantly, the members of the Legislative Assembly are responsible for approving the financial proposals of the government, holding the Premier and Cabinet accountable for their actions and for departmental expenditures. This is a key function of the Legislative Assembly, ensuring the public - through its elected members - has a say in how public monies are spent.

Cleopatra (1934) Pages: (1)
The master showman Cecil B. DeMille's Cleopatra (1934) is a modernistic 1930s costume spectacle that reshapes the Cleopatra story - the kind of film for which DeMille was best known. Unarguably, the Paramount Studios film is campy, grandiose and unreal and ludicrous historically - filled with DeMille's usual mixture of sin and sex. Sexually-suggestive costumes adorn most of the female characters. The film's screenplay by Waldemar Young and Vincent Lawrence was based on an adaptation of historical material by Barlett Cormack. The 20th Century Fox extravagant, four-hour version of the same film, Cleopatra (1963) starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, nearly bankrupted the studio.
Claudette Colbert had previously starred in DeMille's historical epic The Sign of the Cross (1932) as the depraved emperor Nero's lascivious, vixenish wife Poppaea. It was unusual that in the same year that Colbert starred as the legendary Egyptian love goddess, she also starred as the female lead in Frank Capra's romantic comedy It Happened One Night (1934) and in John Stahl's soapy drama Imitation of Life (1934). DeMille's film was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Sound Recording, Best Assistant Director, and Best Film Editing (a new category) - it won a single Oscar for Best Cinematography (Victor Milner).The Story
The legendary Egyptian Queen of the Nile princess/seductress, Cleopatra (Claudette Colbert) becomes the Queen and ruler of Egypt by her manipulative, wily, and seductive ways with the Roman men in her life:
- Julius Caesar (Warren William) (who is assassinated)
- Marc Antony (Henry Wilcoxon)
This kitsch film is well-known for three scenes:
- In its infamous barge scene on a set with silky draperies, falling rose petals, and dancing girls, Cleopatra is reclining on a massive dias aboard her mammoth floating bordello on the sea. After Julius Caesar's death, vengeance-seeking Marc Antony confronts the temptress queen to meet him in the public square - she defuses the situation by admitting that she had hoped to seduce him with an exotic display of decadence by her handmaidens aboard her imperial barge:
Cleopatra: Well, I guess I must confess everything. I must tell you why I wanted to meet you here instead of the square...Do you see the way I'm dressed?
Antony: What about it?
Cleopatra: I'm dressed to lure you, Antony...You see all this? It was all a plan - and you know why? Because it was my only chance. Don't you think I know you're my enemy - you and your hungry Rome? But I suppose it was the most stupid thing I could have done. What do you know - I had show after show with which to dazzle you. But Antony is not a man to be dazzled if he doesn't please, no. What do you care for this, for instance? Watch! (She claps and a gong sounds)
Near-naked dancing-girls lead a procession that brings a garlanded ox into view. Alcohol is offered to the host. The dancer who rides the ox strokes its sides. The scene cuts repeatedly to the visage of Antony as his entranced face softens. The girls writhe and spin during the display:
Cleopatra: I wish you could see your face. I'd have more chance with a stone wall. Will you forgive me for being such a fool? I should have known that Antony is not Antony for nothing.
Antony: Well, uh, shall we go now?
Cleopatra: (submissively) Yes, we'll go. My wits have failed and I'm in your hands. But what could I do? Now, what would you have done? Pretend you're me and I'm you.
She humors him enough so that he laughs at her foolishness, as she admits her intentions to get him drunk:
Cleopatra: That was part of the plan, too. I was going to get you so - irresponsible.
Antony: You didn't think one goblet would do it, did you?
Cleopatra: Yes, wouldn't it?
Antony: (He bursts out laughing) Well, that does amuse me! (He drinks from the goblet)
Cleopatra: But it's such a large goblet.
Antony: Yes, isn't it. (He finishes the entire goblet's contents and pours a second one)
A large tray of exotic foods is laid before them for dinner, with skewered reed birds from the Nile, roasted chickens and freshly-caught clams from the sea. The 'clams' that are hauled up in a net are revealed to be more dancing-girls wrapped in seaweed - they sprawl prostrate on the barge's deck, crawl to Antony's feet and offer him jewel-filled seashells:
Antony: Jewels! You are a good fisherman.
Cleopatra: The golden streams of Egypt never run dry. (She tosses the jewels to her subjects) (To Antony) Throw them!
Leopard-skinned animals/girls in a circus-like show are subdued by a whip-wielding slave master. Music is played on lyres and harps. The cat-women leap through burning hoops of flames. Later on, under a moonlit night as they are serenaded, Cleopatra proposes a union of forces:
Cleopatra: The sound to the stars. They must think we're funny people, scheming to destroy each other as if we had forever to live. They must wonder - why don't Egypt and Rome meet in the public square to plan union instead of conquest? Yes, it's very funny.
Antony: I've said things to Caesar I wish I hadn't. There's beauty in the Egyptian Queen besides her face. Do you miss him?
Cleopatra: No, he didn't love me.
Antony: Is that really the reason?
Cleopatra: No, not really. I admire men who don't love women.
Antony: What do you mean by that?
Cleopatra: Oh, I don't know. Women should be but toys for the great. It becomes them both.
Antony: To you for that. (He toasts her)
Cleopatra: (reciprocating) And to you for that.
After more entertainment and drinks, Cleopatra develops the hiccups, which he eliminates by slapping her on the back. The scheming queen realizes she has him in her clutches and has saved her throne when he leans over her and confesses his affection:
Antony: You're charming.
Cleopatra: All right. I'm ready to go now.
Antony: Why? Oh, you don't find me charming.
Cleopatra: Yes, I do. I could fall in love with you, but I don't intend to. What for?
Antony: Do you mean that?
Cleopatra: There's no one like you. (They embrace and kiss, reclined on her dias)
She signals for her floating barge to move out to sea as she seduces him. Silk curtains are brought out by dancing-girls to cover their love-making. The camera tracks back, revealing dozens more dancing-girls, offering giant shells filled with burning incense. What orgasmic, carnal excess! Garlands are strung from above, as a writhing, slave girl dances in the center and rose petals fall from above. The enormous royal barge is being rowed by long ranks of enslaved oarsmen propelling the two lovers into the darkened sea (toward paradise?) to the suggestive, seductive, cadenced beat and rhythm of the drummer.
- Cleopatra's love for Antony is re-kindled when he assembles the troops to do battle with Octavian, Caesar's nephew and heir. Cleopatra falls dramatically at Antony's feet to pledge herself to him, and he vows to fight with her, disavowing his allegiance to Rome:
Cleopatra: I've seen a god come to life. I'm no longer a queen. I'm a woman.
Antony: You choose me, Cleopatra, against the world.
Cleopatra: Against the world.
Antony: Then we'll meet it. We'll smash it to pieces, put it together again, and call it ours! War!...
Cleopatra: So Rome would forgive and take you back. And all they demand is for us to part. Why don't they ask the sun to fall right out of the sky?
Antony: Yes, we'll fight them. We'll fight them all, if we have to fight alone.
Stock footage from DeMille's own The Ten Commandments (1923) comprises some of the montage's action of attacking chariots, footsoldiers with shields and swords, flames catapulted from one ship to another, and exciting hand-to-hand combat. The elaborately-staged sea battle, especially the Battle of Actium, the greatest sea battle ever up to that time, is fought between Octavian's legions in Rome and Egypt.
- Later, in the film's finale, after Cleopatra has unsuccessfully attempted to have Octavian spare Antony's life in exchange for Egypt's crown, she witnesses Antony's death (he has fallen on his own sword, believing that she has betrayed him): "I am dying Egypt, dying." Realizing that she will be quickly conquered, Cleopatra is attended to by her loyal handmaidens - she is dressed in black with a low-cut decolletage. She requests a basket to be extended to her on the throne: "It holds victory." She removes a real, one-foot long snake/asp and applies it to her breast in one of the most memorable suicidal death scenes in film history. She sits immobile and defeated on her throne as her kingdom is conquered.

Hoping one of you can confirm what the correct colour of the engine and transmission should be for a 1969 Coronet Super Bee 383 almost all I see are orange ,but many sites show the correct specs for the 69 as Turquoise or SH/Blue 1 they do show orange for 440 6 pack and 426 hemi the project car on the Mopar Muscle site shows the 383 engine as Turquoise when removed from that car so which is factory correct for the engine and 727 Torque Flight ?thanks
The transmissions are never painted. If it is the 335 horsepower 383 Magnum, the "base" (and only 383) 1969 Super Bee engine, it is supposed to be Hemi Orange. The paint is available from Chrysler, p/n P4349216. Confusion sets in because other "low performance" (non-Magnum) 383s that came in a slew of other Dodges were painted Turquoise.
Thank you ,clears up some of my confusion , my only other comment or question is the video on Mopar Muscle project car (69 Super Bee ) shows the engine coming out of the Super Bee and it is Turquoise , I was pretty sure the 383 in Coronet SB were all 335HP, the one in the video is definitely Turquoise. I am considering buying a car I have found , the transmission in this car has old turquoise paint on it , the 383 is Orange , yep a bit confusing for a novice mopar guy (me) thanks again
In 40+ years various people have painted engines the wrong color. Or the engine/trans has been replaced. All you can do is check the s/n stamped on them, and/or the casting numbers. The colors mean basically nothing by now.

Rehn: Member states will retain power over banks
European Commission VP Olli Rehn has sought to allay fears that a proposed EU banking union would strip member states of the power to supervise their own lenders. Finland's PM has hailed the plan.
Speaking to Yle on Wednesday, Economic Commissioner Rehn argued that centralisation of bank supervision is essential in order to fend off future banking crises. The Finn, who is second in command at the Commission, stressed that all bank monitoring would not be shifted away from individual countries.
"Banks operating in Finland are part of the eurozone's common banking supervision system, where the European Central Bank has the overall authority and overall responsibility. But the daily oversight of banks will still be carried out by national banking supervisors," Rehn said.
"Plenty of know-how"
Rehn denied claims that the ECB would take over supervision of all 6,000 banks within the eurozone.
"National banking authorities, who have plenty of experience and know-how, will continue to play a central role in day-to-day supervision," he said.
Earlier on Wednesday, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso proposed a full-fledged EU banking and budget union.
PM: Some state officials "look the other way"
Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen and Finance Minister Jutta Urpilainen, meanwhile, said that it is important that any links between banks and state governments be cut.
The premier said that greater supervision would benefit Nordic banks.
He noted that "in some countries national supervisors sometimes look the other way" when it comes to banking problems.
Urpilainen, for her part, said the goal of increasing investors' responsibility for cleaning up banking crises is a good one.

Faculty - Sean Stilwell
Sean Stilwell, Professor
- Ph.D., York, Can. 1999
Area of expertise
Contact InformationEmail: Sean Stilwell
Sean Stilwell joined the University of Vermont in 1999 after receiving a Ph.D. from York University. He is a specialist in African history, with a specific focus on the history of pre-colonial and colonial West Africa, the history of Nigeria and Hausaland, the history of slavery and the slave trade, and the history of medicine, disease and epidemics in colonial Africa. He teaches a wide variety of courses at UVM, covering the continent from c. 10,000 BCE to the present. His regular upper level offerings include courses on the History of Nigeria, West Africa, and Southern Africa as well as a seminar on comparative slavery. Stilwell conducts research in two major fields. First, he writes on the history of slavery in Africa. He is author of Paradoxes of Power: The Kano 'Mamluks' and Male Royal Slavery in the Sokoto Caliphate, 1804-1903, published with Heinemann's Social History of Africa Series, which explores the history of slave soldiers and officials in the Sokoto Caliphate (now Northern Nigeria). He is currently at work on a new interpretative history of slavery in Africa entitled Slavery and Slaving in African History that is under contract with Cambridge University Press. Second, Stilwell is pursuing research on the history of epidemics, medicine and urban planning in colonial Nigeria. The monograph will - eventually - be titled Pestilence and Planning: The Plague, Public Health and Colonial Urbanism in Lagos, 1903-1960. Stilwell is also co-editing a book with Juanita de Barros for the Harriet Tubman Series of Africa World Press entitled Public Health and Colonialism in the British Imperial World and is working away on articles related to water rate riots in Lagos and the Cerebrospinal Meningitis epidemics in Northern Nigeria between 1903 and 1960. Professor Stilwell currently directs the African Studies Program at UVM. Other than things African, Professor Stilwell spends (too) much of his time obsessing about the Boston Red Sox.
