Fire forces evacuation Alexia Shaffer
International & Lutelife Editor
Students, professors and employees were forced to evacuate the Morken Center for Learning and Technology on Wednesday, Nov. 17 when a fire began in the server room. At first the students thrust outside thought it was only a drill and were frustrated to be sent out in the cold. "I hope people don't walk by and steal our stuff, because we didn't have time to put it all away," said senior Jessica Mussie, student manager at Kelley Café. As smoke billowed out from all doors of Morken and multiple fire trucks began arriving, everyone began realizing that this was no drill. "We smelled something yesterday," said assistant professor of business Brian Maeng. "It smelled just like this." Josh Page, Internet & Technology Services support specialist, was one of the first to work out what had happened. "There are no reported injuries as
far as I'm aware," Page said. "The fire trucks came very quickly and took care of everything. "The problem came from the server room in the Southeast corridor. A lot of smoke was certainly coming out of the room, and the fire was contained," he said. "Because there were people in there at the time, it was immediately dealt with." Many professors and students were on their phones, making calls to inform others that Morken had caught on fire. "The preliminary information is that the A.C. is the source," Page said. Battalion Chief McKenzie from Central Pierce Fire & Rescue was one of the firefighters on the scene. "We found the fire and the crews went in," McKenzie said. "The fire was controlled." The Office of the President and Information & Technology Services both sent out e-mails to members of the PLU community informing those who were not aware of what had happened. Morken was closed all of Wednesday and re-opened Thursday, Nov. 18 with classes resuming as usual.
Harmony hosts fifth annual drag show Paula McFadden News Reporter
firstname.lastname@example.com Harmony, Pacific Lutheran University's queerstraight alliance club, will host a benefit drag show in the Columbia Center conference room Friday, Dec. 3. "The drag show is a traditional event for Harmony," said junior Clayton Haselwood, cocommissioner of Harmony. It is the fifth annual event to support World Aids Day and money raised will go to the Pierce County Aids Foundation, Haselwood said. Performers will include PLU students and volunteers from the community dressed in drag, lipsynching to music. "There will be performances from both PLU students and volunteers from the community the
Royal Court of Tacoma: The Diamond Empire of the Cascades," Haselwood said. "There has been some talk about people interested in performing to indie boy bands and Ke$ha. The queens coming from the court do a lot of classic songs, like from the Broadway play 'Wicked.'" The show will also try to incorporate the audience. "The drag show raises money for different organizations in the fight against AIDS," sophomore Quinn Uesugi said. "The show is very audienceinvolved with performers going in between aisles." The goal of the event is to educate PLU about the LGBT community through musical performance. "The performers will most likely be lip-syncing to any Lady Gaga song you can possibly think of," Uesugi said. "I went last year, and everyone really liked the show. I think it not only gets people involved, but it also introduces them to the LGBT community."
The event is free to attend but there will be a raffle with tickets sold at the door. "I am really excited for the drag show," said sophomore Sarah Williams. "I like that people can be who they are and not worry about being judged. It is really fun to see the different costumes." Students support the performers by putting dollar bills in their costumes as they dance through the aisles. Haselwood recommends that people attending bring one dollar bills to give to the kings and queens. The money goes toward the Pierce County AIDS Foundation, which helps people in the area diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and works to stop the stereotypes surrounding the disease. "The goal of this event is to raise money," Haselwood said. "Any sort of inspirational message is welcome, but the drag show is a way for Harmony to raise money and give back to the community."

Global Getdown: Paula McFadden News Reporter
firstname.lastname@example.com Global Getdown celebrates multiculturalism in the Cave Friday, Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. with performances, fashion and dancing. The Diversity Center sponsors the event to bring the Pacific Lutheran community together by learning about the different cultures represented at PLU. "Global Getdown is a way for PLU to experience different cultures," said diversity advocate junior Angela Pierce. "This is a chance for us to see Tacoma in a different way and see the culture of international students. Plus, it is just a really fun event." Senior Maurice Eckstein organized the event as part of his job description. "My job as a diversity advocate has me looking for ways to include international students in the community for them to be able to share their culture," Eckstein said.

Event showcases Swedish cuisine Dianne McGinness News Reporter
firstname.lastname@example.com The Swedish Cultural Endowed Program hosted an event in the Scandinavian Center Nov. 14 that explored culinary arts through a cooking demonstration and food sampling. Betty and Edgar Larson started the Swedish Cultural Program to commemorate aspects of Swedish culture at Pacific Lutheran University. All four of the Larson's parents were of Scandinavian descent, so the program serves as a tribute to them. "Betty and I have been involved in the Scandinavian Cultural Center for many years so we thought this would be a great way to get involved," said Edgar Larson, executive director of Charitable Estate Planning. "The program is set up in such a way that while my wife Betty and I are both living, we can underwrite the program. When we are no longer around, the program will continue through endowment." Each year, the program focuses on a different component of Swedish culture.
"We are trying to touch on various aspects of culture, past and present," Larson said. "We invite speakers, artists, individuals, groups, et cetera to come and represent ideas of setting forth historical, present and future trends in Sweden." In 2008, the event featured a carver and painter from Sweden who taught audience members how to care and paint a Dalahäst (Dala horse), an icon of Swedish heritage.
"We are trying to touch on various aspects of culture, past and present." Edgar Larson, executive director of Charitable Estate Planning
The 2009 event focused on Swedish music. Karin Rehnqvist, the first female faculty member at the music college in Stockholm, shared her music with PLU through performances by the university orchestra and brass ensemble. This year's event featured Pelle Nilsson,
a Swedish chef from San Francisco, Calif. Through a cooking demonstration, Pelle led everyone through step-by-step instructions on how to prepare a Swedish Christmas dinner. "I have been a chef all my life," Nilsson said. "I started from the ground up as a pot-washer at the age of 14 and now have a catering business out of San Francisco." During the demonstration guests were invited to ask questions and taste samples of the food that he had prepared the previous two days. As for future events, Larson had a few different ideas in mind. "Potentially for next year we are looking at doing an event based on the mystery writing culture in Sweden," Larson said. "We might also do tradition again because of a Swedish museum that deals with genealogy. It is always fun doing the planning for the following year." The Swedish Cultural Program aims to continue the legacy of the program started by the Larson's. "We want the Swedish heritage to continue here at PLU," said Susan Young, director of the Scandinavian Center. "So each year we will do something to honor it."

The Federal Reserve announced a $600 billion purchase of Treasury bonds (government debt issued by the United States Department of the Treasury) Nov. 3, according to an article in The New York Times. This piece of monetary policy (macroeconomic policy targeting interest rates and the supply of money) is a controversial move to control inflation. It is difficult to estimate the total magnitude that debt purchases will have on an economy. The Federal Open Market Committee closed Nov. 3 expecting to continue current quantitative easing policies and admitted the possibility of more debt purchases in the future, according to The New York Times. To stimulate growth in an economy it is vital that cash assets necessary for capital investment remain "liquid," or easily accessible to entrepreneurs and potential customers. In 1936 the Investment Saving/Liquidity preference Money Supply Model was born as a result of multiple mathematical papers presented at the Oxford Economic Conference. These papers summarized John Maynard Keynes' magnum opus "General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money." The Federal Reserve serves a dual mandate: "price stability and full employment." As unemployment has remained relatively static at 9.6 percent, the Federal Reserve therefore seeks to keep prices stable and base borrowing rates low, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Essentially the Federal Government's purchases of government debt increases the size of the money supply. The effectiveness of these actions is yet to be measured, but hopefully overall circulation of money will increase along with economic growth. The Federal funds rate, the rate at which banks can borrow money overnight from the Federal Reserve, will remain practically zero in hopes to encourage investment. When price levels are low consumption is expected and saving is naturally discouraged. After the Great Depression of the 1930s, Franklin Roosevelt and the U.S. Congress passed a series of economic programs which were focused on relief, recovery and reform. Major "work projects" to improve national infrastructure gave Americans jobs while also stimulating economic growth. The Hoover Dam is an example of this. Investment in one's home is never unwise. Now is the time to invest in human capital (one's own competence) in the form of education. The dollar you borrow today will be paid back with a stronger dollar tomorrow and, assumedly, liberal art education appreciates with time.

Angel Tree provides gifts to children Sarah Wise
Op-Ed Columnist
email@example.com The holidays are swiftly approaching and that means special treats, presents, events and plenty of family time. But for some people, the holidays don't bring very much cheer. There are children all over who do not receive presents for the holidays – children who spend most of the year in need of basic necessities. We should always make a point to help these children and their families, but it becomes particularly
noticeable during this season of giving. Angel Tree is a local organization which has helped provide gifts for local children for the last 26 years. The focus of the organization is to bring a little cheer to children who have a parent in prison. It is unfair for an innocent child to suffer due to the situation of a parent, and Angel Tree's goal is to help ease pain. Many churches participate in Angel Tree by handing out gift tags with a child's information on it to congregation members. One such congregation is Trinity Lutheran Church, located
right next to PLU on Park and 121st street. Last weekend, my mother picked up a tag for a 17-year-old boy in Parkland who has no bed. He sleeps on the floor and all he asks for this Christmas is a mattress, a grocery gift card to feed his family and headphones for his iPod. Right here, within our own community, is a teenager who can have a brighter Christmas with the gift of a place to lay his head. As everyone begins preparing for the holidays, writing their wish lists and shopping for friends and family, consider
buying something for a complete stranger. You can pick up an Angel Tree tag at Trinity or visit the Angel Tree website at www.pfm-angeltree.com to make a donation to the cause. Not everyone has the time to volunteer at shelters or soup kitchens, but anyone can spare a little extra cash to help a child in need. Christmas doesn't need to be a commercial holiday based solely around gifts. Remember the true spirit of the season. Everyone deserves happy holidays. Find a little extra joy in yours by bringing some warmth and spirit to others.

This issue of the Mooring Mast is the last until we resume publication in February. That doesn't mean, however, that the staff isn't looking ahead and taking into account the wealth of December and J-Term activities in which students participate. Two Mooring Mast editors traveled to Uganda last J-Term and returned with a treasury of photos and journal entries, as well as entirely new perspectives on life. So if you're studying abroad or taking the J-Term skiing/snowboarding class, take pictures. Write down your experiences, get the contact info of people you meet. There's probably a place for your story in the paper when we come back. Also, if you have any general suggestions for the paper, e-mail them to firstname.lastname@example.com. So, until February, the Mooring Mast bids you adieu.

International & LuteLife Editor
The Holocaust Studies Program at Pacific Lutheran University highlights a fall lecture every year. The 2010 fall lecture, given Nov. 11, featured Michael Berkowitz. Berkowitz is a professor of Hebrew and Jewish studies at University College London. He has written five books pertaining to Holocaust studies. The argument Berkowitz makes in his book "The Crime of My Very Existence," published in 2007, was the basis for his lecture at PLU. "I thought it was good, yes," said history professor and Kurtis R. Mayer Chair of Holocaust Studies Robert Ericksen when asked about the presentation given by his colleague. Ericksen is the only Holocaust professor at PLU and in his personal studies has focused on the Christian churches of Nazi Germany and how easily they picked up anti-semitism.

Ericksen said. "They make it very clear that their passion to study the Holocaust includes human issues, concerns that our students can relate to. Each of them brings a particular expertise."

In order to support this argument, Berkowitz uses a number of Gestapo records, photographs and archived records as evidence, Ericksen said. "There is a community of scholars looking at different aspects … recognizing and looking at different angles of the story," Ericksen said. "I enjoy it – this is what I do."
Ericksen believes having these scholars come to PLU is extremely important to students and teachers learning about the Holocaust. "It is always a riveting experience, and so that's much different than say, picking up their book … or even watching some footage from The History Channel," Ericksen said. Not only do these presentations help students, but they help professors and other teachers in the community learn as well. Along with the fall lecture, every year PLU hosts an annual Holocaust conference that is open to the public. University of Vermont Holocaust professor Alan Steinweis, the author of "Kristallnacht 1938," presented in previous years. "These presentations help high school teachers and middle school teachers develop interest in the Holocaust and help teach them how to teach this subject," Ericksen said. This year's conference will be held March 17-19, 2011 and will feature a film presentation with the producer.
2011 Holocaust Conference This is an annual conference that will take place March 17-19. The conference is free and is open to all, but registration is requested beforehand. This will be the first year a film will be featured during the conference. The 2010 Holocaust Conference featured many important scholars. Sara Horowitz and Carl Wilens were both important presenters in last year's conference. Horowitz's main research focuses on gender and memory of the Holocaust while Wilkens witnessed the genocide in Rwanda. Many other Holocaust scholars will be at the 2011 Holocaust Conference.
Holocaust professor conducting research in Berlin History professor and Kurtis R. Mayer Chair of Holocaust Studies Robert Ericksen has traveled to Berlin to research information for his new book "Christians in Nazi Germany." Ericksen has been contracted to write the book by Cambridge University Press. The research he has been doing is funded through the Kurtis R. Mayer Professorship and Chair donations. These donations have been given by Nancy Powell, Carol Powell Heller, Harry Heller, Kurt and Pam Mayer, Joe and Gloria Mayer, and Natalie Mayer-Yeager. Altogether, these families have donated $2 million. This money was raised to help promote PLU as a premier school for Holocaust studies.

Garfield Forza implements new menu Jason Sipe
A&E Food Columnist
In weeks past, this column has taken me to many areas in Tacoma that are largely untraveled by the Pacific Lutheran population. That changes this week as I review a spot that is familiar yet different for many of us. Situated directly next to the Garfield Book Company, 208 Garfield is turning out some stunningly good plates for great prices. Offering a full line of salads and sandwiches, 208 Garfield is stepping up the quality on the block with a bar menu and happy hour menu composed of plates with both ingredients familiar and unfamiliar. Some of the simple sandwiches are served with a side of gummy bears – an endearing touch that you can't help but smile about. Be adventurous! Not sure what Bel Paese or arugula is? Ask the staff! Order a number of small plates and share with friends (or try to. You'll be tempted to hoard them for yourself.) Offerings like penne with house made basil pesto are more familiar (and only $4 during happy hour), but there is nothing on the menu you should skip. The Winter Caprese Salad ($6) is a beautiful plate of oven-dried tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and pesto. The Pork Belly ($7) pairs with the shaved fennel nicely and is extremely tender. A smashed potato accompanies the Braised Short Ribs that are so good you won't believe they're only $8. But the absolute star of the show
is the cold-smoked sturgeon. It is currently offered in an open-faced sandwich ($7), but order it any way you can. It's just smoky enough and the texture will astound you. Also keep in mind the rest of the bar menu: quick bites like salted Marcona almonds, white bean garlic spread with grilled flatbread, and three types of olives, cheese and charcuterie (cured meat) boards. The salami selections, especially those from Fra'Mani, are astoundingly good, especially when paired with mustard seed and pickles. Possibly the single biggest innovation of 208 Garfield is the array of silver taps prominently displayed behind the counter. Several are beer taps offering local brews from Washington and Oregon, but the rest dispense a beverage you're probably unaccustomed to ordering from the tap: wine. Wine from a keg? It's actually a brilliant idea. The kegs are filled directly from the barrel and internally maintained with nitrogen to keep the wine from spoiling. All wines are local, each travelling less than 300 miles to the store. This sustainable plan reduces the number of glass bottles and corks being used as well. It's a new venture that 208 Garfield is on the forefront of, and the staff is incredibly excited about it. Head down to 208 Garfield and get in on what's good. The menu is still new and evolving, but it's already definitely worth your time. Expect this spot to become a destination for the growing community at large, not just PLU students. Eat boldly, and now even closer to home!
A PLU Christmas Student musicians prepare for annual holiday concert Alison Haywood A&E Reporter
email@example.com Pacific Lutheran's Choir of the West, University Chorale and University Symphony Orchestra are once again joining forces to continue the university's tradition of musical excellence. More than 170 students in these ensembles will kick off the Christmas season with the traditional annual Christmas concerts, this year with new and unique music and venues. Starting Dec. 4, the ensembles will perform a total of five concerts at Lagerquist Hall, Benaroya Hall in Seattle and the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland, Ore. "This is the first time we've been to this concert hall in 18 years," said Choir of the West director Richard
Nance of Schnitzer Hall. He recalls performing there as a first-year student at PLU. "It's a larger venue because we needed to fit the audience demand," he said. The biggest piece that every ensemble is most excited about performing is a relatively new composition by Robert Kyr titled "Pacific Sanctus." "This piece combines different holy texts and ends with this glorious sound of all the angels singing 'hosanna' in many different languages," said University Chorale director Brian Galante. The performers gave a preview of it at the orchestra concert the evening of Tuesday, Nov. 16 in Lagerquist Hall. The University Chorale will also perform a version of "In the Bleak Midwinter," arranged by Galante. "It's always fun as a conductor to
work with a piece that's your own, and see what a choir will bring to it," Galante said. Both choirs began working on their Christmas music in late October, and the orchestra received its music in November. Galante said each group has been working very hard, rehearsing both together and separately. "It's a very busy time," he said. Orchestra students are also excited for this opportunity. "This is quite possibly the highest caliber of performing group that I'll ever perform with in my life," said junior Daniel Sutton, violinist. He said of director Jeffrey BellHanson, "he's got exactly the right mixture of getting to business and being fun." First-year Marta Neumann said "he really pulls us together." First-year Laura Berg is excited to
perform in her hometown of Portland. "Travelling will just be a great bonding experience," she said. Violin professor Svend Rønning said "I envy all my students because I've never played in Benaroya and they all have." Having the opportunity to play in venues such as Benaroya Hall is a testament to PLU's musical talent. "PLU has a very rich tradition of quality music, excellent music," Galante said. "Students come here because they want to be part of that tradition." The holiday concert will kick off a great year for PLU's music department. "It's a wonderful way to start the season," said first-year Marta Neumann, who plays the French horn. "There's just so much more to look forward to afterwards."

Men ready to jam PLU basketball tips off at UPS tournament Brendan Abshier Sports Editor
firstname.lastname@example.com The Pacific Lutheran men's basketball team will begin its season at the Puget Sound Tipoff Classic this weekend at the University of Puget Sound. The Lutes start the tournament against No. 13 St. Thomas (Minn.) Nov. 19 and then take on UC Santa Cruz Nov. 20 for PLU's second game of the tournament. Both games begin at 6 p.m. This year the Lutes are returning a core group of players, according to a release from the PLU Sports Information Office, which has given the team high hopes for this season. "We have the best team I've had since becoming the head coach," head coach Steve Dickerson said in a PLU release. Seniors Kyle MacTaggart and Victor Bull each started 20 games last season and will be part of the Lute squad looked upon to deliver positive stats this season. MacTaggart led the 2009-10 season for the Lutes with minutes (27.4 mpg) and
points (14.2 ppg) as well as earned AllNorthwest Conference honorable mention. Bull finished second in minutes (26.7 mpg) and first in rebounds (5.3 rpg) for the Lutes. Senior Curtis Trondsen also finished among the team leaders in scoring last season. He averaged a second-best 10.4 ppg including a .389 average from a three-point range. The Lutes also return junior James Conti and senior Tony Polis, an interchangeable duo of backcourt players who ranked 25th nationally in the 2009-10 season in assists-toturnover ratio, according to a PLU release. Conti averaged 9.6 ppg and 3.7 apg last season while Polis averaged 3.4 apg. Dickerson said that the seniors and juniors on this year's team have done a good job demonstrating leadership for the sophomore and first-years. Among the new additions to the team are first-year students Kai Koyt, a 6-foot-4-inch wing from Roosevelt High School in Seattle, Kole Podowics, a 6-foot-6-inch post, Johnny Tveter, a 6-foot-4-inch wing, and Arvid Isakson, a 6-foot-1-inch guard. The Lutes begin NWC competition Dec. 3 at home against Pacific at 8 p.m.
After an unlucky end-ofseason finale for the Pacific Lutheran football team, seven players earned Northwest Conference first team honors. The team wasn't picked to compete in the postseason tournament, but the season awards reveal the talent that this year's team possessed. Seniors Greg Ford, Isaac Moog, Jordan Rasmussen, Alec Simmons, Sten Koos and Richard Isett and firstyear Sean McFadden were all chosen this week for the first team in a vote by conference coaches. This year marks the third consecutive year that Ford was named to the All-NWC first team after catching 51 passes this year for 843 yards and nine touchdowns. He tied the PLU record with 35 touchdown receptions and was second all-time with 3,436 receiving yards. He caught at least one ball in all 36 of his career games, according to a release from the PLU Sports Information Office. Moog finished the season with 44 receptions for 633 yards and nine touchdowns. Rasmussen was the gunslinger for the Lutes, completing 173 of 277 passes for 2,265 yards (second in the NWC), 24 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Simmons amounted 982 rushing yards on 137 carries, averaging 7.2 yards per carry. On the defensive end, Isett moved to linebacker after previously playing defensive back. He led the Lutes with 64 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss and five sacks. McFadden brought down 54 ball carriers and snagged three interceptions. PLU (8-1, 5-1 NWC) finished second in conference behind Linfield (8-1 , 6-0 NWC).
Swimming scurries past competition Rosa Orlowski Sports Reporter

Nov. 13 (139-39, 164-24). At Linfield, PLU took nine of the 11 events in both men's and women's competitions. On the women's side, firstyear Kina Ackerman won three events, while first-year Kevin Jones and junior Chase Mesford took two events each in the men's competition. Both divisions took the opening 200 medley and the
closing 200 freestyle and seven individual events in between. In the women's division, Ackerman opened with a win in the 1000 freestyle. Then seniors Jessie Clauder and Casey Jackson led two 1-2-3 finishes in the 200 freestyle and 100 backstroke, respectively. For the men's division, Jones took the long distance 1000 and 500 freestyles, and
Mesford won the 200 freestyle and led yet another Lute 1-2-3 finish in the 100 freestyle. Sophomore Phil Rempe also led a 1-2-3-4 finish in the 100 butterfly, followed by senior Alex Limoges, first-year Garrett Hallett and senior Matt Kim. The Lutes again proved their tenacity with another sweep on Saturday, Nov. 13
at Willamette. The women's team won nine of the 11 events and the men's team swept their division with wins in every event. This weekend, the swim teams host the Northwest Invitational. Preliminaries will begin at 10 a.m. and the finals are scheduled for 6 p.m.

PLU starts season with win Women's basketball tops opponent 67-56 in non-conference home opener
Anne Walters-Cooke Sports Intern
email@example.com The PLU women's basketball team defeated the visiting Chaminade University of Honolulu 67-56 Wednesday, Nov. 17 in the Lutes' home opener. PLU is now 1-0. The Chaminade Silverswords moved to 0-2. The Lutes had a strong fan base present for their season opener. The starting five for PLU were juniors Sara Backstrom and Melissa Pixler, seniors Mandy Wall and Jordan Westering and first-year Sam Potter. Pixler scored the Lutes' first basket with a lay-up and tallied 15 points in the game along with six rebounds. Wall had five assists and exhibited great defense with three steals. Sophomore Shelly Kilcup contributed 11 points and Westering scored 12. "We were clicking on defense, which created a lot of opportunities for us on offense," said PLU head coach Kelly Robinson. The Lutes forced 25 turnovers by the Silverswords. "The attitude this preseason has really changed," Pixler said. "We are much more focused on defense and trying to play as one, rather than five individual players." Kristen Canencia led the

Silverswords with 15. Canencia also held the honors for rebounds with 15. Jamie Higa contributed 11 rebounds and Kayci Will had 14. PLU and Chaminade battled for the lead the first half, but the Lutes came out on top 3422 with a 9-0 run at the half and held the lead the rest of the game. The Lutes said they hope to make it to the playoffs this season.
The top four teams in the Northwest Conference make it to the conference tournament. Last year the Lutes finished fifth and are looking to improve their standing. The game was "not as clean as we wanted it to be, but it definitely feels good to be 1-0 after our first game," Robinson said. "It's always nice to win at home." The Lutes play this Saturday against the Concordia Cavaliers at 7 p.m. in Olson Gym.

Little Mermaid, The
G | 83 min | Saturday, November 17, 1990
Movie Description
Adapted from the Hans Christian Andersen children's classic, The Mermaid, 1989's animated Walt Disney Production of The Little Mermaid is a tour-de-force of both filmmaking and entertainment for practically any age group.
Adhering to the adage that "Simple is Better," The Little Mermaid doesn't try to overwhelm or dazzle audiences with either technological wizardry or hackneyed stereotypes. Instead, it tells an entertaining story with plenty of "awww" moments which effortlessly tug at the heart strings.
The Little Mermaid borrows from several other Disney classics, (a wicked witch, a handsome prince, a disaffected would-be princess, etc.) but the film is never overtly derivative or pandering. To the contrary, it maintains a fresh, contemporary feel even with the story being nearly two hundred years old.
Brilliantly animated and excellently voiced by several notable actors, The Little Mermaid also includes many wonderful songs as well as enough excitement to keep the kids (and most grown-ups) on the edge of their seats.
Genre: Action Adventure Animated Fantasy
Disney Movie Rating:
88.17 out of 100. Total of 3598 votes.
Notable Cast
This film does not yet have notable Disney actors/actresses associated with it.

The Secret History of the Progenitors & the Anunnaki
There's plenty of material I am discovering on this topic, since the interview came out.
Moulton Howe & Sanchez : Secret History of the Progenitors & Anunnaki
= =
Published on Nov 21, 2014
Linda Moulton Howe and Anthony Sanchez reveal the secret history of hybrids on Earth, who came from the Sirius star system by way of Mars. The Progenitors created a hybrid race, the Anunnaki which could not survive well on Earth, and had to be replaced with the Astro Albas, "tall whites" and their offspring, who now have much wealth and power, and maintain a distinctive DNA. They are still vulnerable to disease and excessive sunshine. This is an important excerpt from her presentation at 2014 Contact in the Desert.
The interview itself has proven very popular with as many as 300 views in one hour,
and about 3,000 hits in two days since it was "discovered"
The VIDEO was picked up by various websites, and has been "embedded" in Webpages for many sites

When visiting Switzerland isn't possible, it's time to re-think your travel plans. You can arrive in Heber Valley in a fraction of the time it takes to get to Europe. I promise the landscapes and adventures will still take your breath away. Less than an hour from Salt Lake City airport, Heber Valley is Utah's adventure escape. It's perfect for sightDOING but it goes beyond just adventure.
5 Reasons to Take Your Time in Bryce Canyon Country & Beyond
This post is sponsored by Bryce Canyon Country, a part of Utah I can't wait to explore. Picture this: after spending the whole afternoon on the trail, you pause to catch your breath. Just one hundred yards farther lies the pinnacle of your hike. Blues and purples settle in the sky while the sun begins to go down. As you reach your stopping point, the red rocks
Home Sweet Home: SightDOING in the USA
One thing that became abundantly clear on my trip to southern California is just how varied the United States is. I didn't expect to like Los Angeles — after all, I dislike San Francisco — but even within a single state, there's so much diversity that it felt like different worlds. I stand corrected on my take of California and have proved to myself yet again
Beautiful Bell Canyon Hike in Salt Lake City
My weekend in Salt Lake City was such a tease. Utah is a state that beckons to outdoors-lovers, urging you to come play under its big, blue skies. I always considered Moab to be the mecca of the state for adventurers, but perhaps I'm wrong. Maybe it's actually Salt Lake City, where you can go from the canyon rock formations to evergreen Park City to

Calder is the main antagonist in the Graphic Novel, The Serpent's Heir.
Emissary to Berk
In the beginning of The Serpent's Heir, Calder travels to Berk, acting as an ambassador or emissary for Nepenthe. He asks to speak with Stoick the Vast to beseech help for his People, not knowing that Stoick was recently deceased. He appears fairly unafraid of Berk's Dragon's which is somewhat unusual. Calder addresses Hiccup as Berk's Chief instead, asking for him to come to Nepenthe to investigate the frequent tremors and bodiless dragon growls there.
Attempting to Evolve
The Dragon Riders arrive at Nepenthe and are unable to find the source of the tremors. At a final meal, Calder poisons most of the Dragons and the Dragon Riders. Calder imprisons them and seeks to take Toothless' wings to complete his personal "transformation" into a dragon. Calder believes he was meant to be a dragon and believes the tremors are a sign for his "transformation".
Despite the destruction of his land and people, Calder continues to harass Hiccup in his pursuit of transformation. He has taken and wields Hiccup's Inferno blade. Hiccup throws a canister of Zippleback gas at the blade, exploding on Calder. Calder falls off a cliff in a blaze of fire.
Calder is a troubled person who believes beyond reason that he was meant to be a dragon and not human. He feels he must "evolve". His desire blinds him to the dangers to himself and his people, and feels justified in using devious means to achieve his "Evolution".
Physical Appearance
Calder has blonde hair and blue eyes, and what appears to be dark eyebrows. He wears a long cloak to hide his extensive tattoos. The tattoos are to make him look like a dragon, and are green scale designs with stylized wings on his shoulders.
- The title of the graphic Novel, "The Serpent's Heir", is referring to Calder.
- Calder's appearance is similar to Viggo's concept art.

I think the company who sold it is responsible. They knew what they were selling, or at least they should do.

They may choose to partake in an exercise class, read in our library, play bingo, join in on some arts and crafts or use their green thumb in our outdoor gardening area. The choice is all theirs.
