technology and life skills are tools of empowerment Homeless youth served by Street Youth Ministries in the University District can now participate in technology literacy and life skills classes offered through a partnership with the University of Washington iSchool. Basic computer skills are necessary to build a resume, find a job Web site or complete online employment applications. Everyday life skills are just as crucial for homeless youth, so the curriculum combines low-barrier technology skills with ways to work on issues that might prevent youth from setting and achieving their next goals. It was Jill Woelfer, a 2008 alumna of the iSchool's Master of Science in Information Management program, who first began to explore the needs of homeless youth with iSchool Associate Professor David Hendry in mid-2007 for a student design competition. Woelfer and Hendry discovered U-District agencies serving the homeless had hundreds of brochures and flyers with considerable duplication. For her capstone research project, Woelfer tackled the task of developing an information architecture to categorize information for the homeless and develop prototypes for design. "The goal was how to employ information more effectively so homeless youth, in particular, could make more effective decisions. It was also about understanding how information supported the values of service agencies in the U-District," Hendry recalls. As a result of Woelfer's project, Street Youth Ministries (SYM), which serves youth ages 13 to 22, developed an interest in the iSchool's research expertise, interdisciplinary approach and emphasis on using information to meet broad humanistic goals. Street Youth Ministries applied for and received a $35,000 Community Technology Opportunity Program (CTOP) grant to equip its drop-in center with computers. Tyler Bauer, program manager at SYM, notes his agency is inundated with requests to become involved in a variety of UW student projects. This one, however, stood out. Sessions are continuing and, as of July 2, 26 homeless youth have completed them. For more information visit Street Youth Ministries and the UW iSchool. career pathways report availableSeattle Jobs Initiative recently published a new report, Charting a Path: An Exploration of the Statewide Career Pathway Efforts in Arkansas, Kentucky, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin. This report examines the role the state can play in instituting the career pathways framework, which can be a key strategy for linking low-income, low-skilled adults to education and training that leads to family-supporting jobs. Science and technology was identified as a key target sector for Washington state, as well as accounting; aircraft mechanics and technicians; auto diesel mechanics; early childhood education; healthcare practitioners; installation, maintenance, repair; and transportation and construction trades.

Garfield Community Center is home to one of the Associated Recreation Council�s eight RecTech sites. The Community Center is adjacent to the new Teen Life Center, where most of the youth programming takes place. In the summer months Garfield RecTech will be offering two basic skills classes, Introduction to Computers and Internet Basics. These free classes are intended to give participants the terminology and skills they will need to begin using some of the resources in the lab. On the morning of July 11, adults can learn about the world of social networking, focusing on sites like Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn. Not only will the program address specific Web sites and the way to use them, but an emphasis will also be placed on protecting users� privacy and information. Youth have several options this summer, including a gaming-centered summer camp offered in partnership with the University of Washington and Microsoft. Youth will learn the programming skills necessary to create a video game which they will showcase among their peers. That program is open to middle school youth entering fifth through eighth grades. The Garfield Campus also will be the home of a summer internship program for high school youth. Ten youth will have the opportunity to learn digital photography skills and create a final art show that will raise awareness about violence and youth. The program will take place at the Garfield Teen Life Center and is being offered in partnership with Youth in Focus, a youth development program centered on photography. As always, youth and adults will have the opportunity to access the computer lab during open lab hours. Open lab times are offered six days a week.

How should a small organization keep technology equipment cool? Visiting many sites, I notice that most organizations don�t have the appropriate cooling devices in their labs to keep routers, switches, and their Internet modems cool. Here are a few tips:
Even though the outside temperature may be 80 or 90 degrees, your equipment may already be over 100 degrees. It is very important that you know the status of your equipment. This will extends its life. Try and have some sort of cooling, even if it�s just your standard fan. This will help you circulate the air in that closet and bring down the temperature a little. If you can afford to buy a portable air-conditioning system, make sure it does not emit condensation and that it has proper drainage, as moisture might get into your equipment and can cause damage.

- 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley, divided
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

- Bake, uncovered, 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork, basting occasionally. Sprinkle with remaining parsley. Yield: 4 servings.

Healy becomes third brother to earn Eagle Scout honor
While Newton Senior High School student Sean Healy's downtown community garden was completed with the help of the Jasper County Conservation Board back in April, it was just recently that he received the accolades that prompted the project in the first place.
Healy was formally honored as an Eagle Scout by Troop 354 at a Court of Honor last month, becoming the third of three brothers to earn the distinction. While Sean's brothers Tom and Mike — who earned their Eagle badges in 2002 and 2006, respectively — influenced Sean's drive to attain the highest rank bestowed upon a scout, he explained that his determination was personal as well.
"I always knew that I would try my hardest to get my Eagle," Healy said. "I certainly looked up to my brothers, but it was always a goal of mine as well."

hi guys,Since i started to play with predator, i've been good results but i need some advices about items... normally i pick hatched, shield and 1 rune after> Steamboots> Icebrand> FrostBurn> ShunkenHead> Daemoniac> Abyssal... one friend told that "buy brutalizer instead icebrand". it's viable?
Both items are situational, but keep in mind that it doesn't have to be a "Brutalizer or Icebrand" thing. You can easily get both if you feel like it, since Brutalizer isn't an attack modifier.
EDIT: Frostburn and brutalizer are good items to pick up, but neither of them are a "must".
Last edited by Koedsovs; 08-10-2012 at 04:44 PM. Reason: Clearing things up
Striders>Frostburn>Brutalizer>BeheH>daemonic>savag emace -> noone can stop you
Predator is a tanky carry / anti tank.
Because of how Carnivouros works (7% of current HP), Predator should get attackspeed to compliment that and some survivability to stay in the fights.
You can stack some -armor and damage on top of that to deal a great amount of sustained damage.
Predator is however slow. A Frostburn is good to keep your enemies close enough to hit, while giving some attackspeed and survivability. Sol's ullwark into Deamonic gives the armor and attackspeed.
Insanitarius is however a good starting item. Insanitarius gives 56 (?) damage for about 2.2k gold, which is insane.
Carni gives you the lifesteal to sustain Insanitarius, so it is a GREAT item on predator.
For rather weird but very powerfull items I would recommend Charged Hammer (Attackspeed and Damage), Frostwolf's Skull for survivability and sustained damage, Brutalizer if you have enough attackspeed to really anti carry and anti tank.
Thanks for all tips... coming soon i will try all ideias u guys gave to me...
Just played with a friend and went empath predator. I did the insanitarius -> elder parasite build. IT WAS SO STRONG!! I was laughing at it and was like "You're kidding mate. Insnitarius WITH ELDER PARASITE?" and he was like "Yeah it's really underrated".
It's really underrated.
With stonehide to counter some squishyness from Elder Parasite it is very viable. You will just rape through EVERY hero midgame.
Insanitarius's burst HP (when toggeling you get ~400 hp) you can tank a little more, making predator almost unstoppable for the duration of Stone Hide.
steamboots -> sols -> shieldbreaker should be your start in every game except you really have 0 farm. After that, it heavily depends on your opponents. Dont mind picking up a shrunken head if they have 80+ % magic damage. If they are built rather defensive, finish demonic and go savage afterwards. If they only have auto-attacks, dont mind picking up a wingbow, might help for that.
To the elder Parasite Insanatarius build: Good enemies will just kite you to death with tablets until stonehide is gone and then have fun with your elder-parasite. Might work in lower MMR-regions, but i wouldnt recommend it.
Best tip is to pick a proper carry, seriously predator is bad.
Dont jungle predator and forget items like basher and elder, some ppl actually buys those items still.
Last time I played predator I did something like this and a troll troll item
Pred is soo strong . Get Plague with you on the lane or any other Slowing or stunning Hero and be aggressive on the lane. Get a lifetube then boots helm etc. Always works even against "s2 heroes"
PS: Shieldbraker isnt rly the best core item on pred. Get Frostburn then Frostwulf and Demonic /Sols Luxury: Wingbow
If your team has good stuns/slows get shieldbreaker. Otherwise frostburn is a tad bit better since it gives you the chance to actually get in a few hits, instead of just chasing them around. Same idea with steamboots/ghost marchers. Steam are superior on pred, but if your team has very few stuns/slows, you might want to consider ghost just to keep up and continue hitting.
Sols has good synergy with his ult and his stone hide.
So... i'll try many ways to play with preda exception to jungle... instead someone the team asked to go too the jungle... and i will try to pick TDL but she is hard carry right? ill be able to play with TDL? tks for all tips and ways to play with preda...

The Modern Woman Has Become Marginalized
a philosophical these by Matthew Bissonnette
In most civilization's since the beginning of recorded history, approximately fifty percent of the population where reduced to a second class citizenship. Though a few achieved positions of prominence, for most of history they where denied any significant influence in the financial or political spheres. Yet towards the end of the nineteenth century and continuing till the present, this segment of society has made greater strides towards being fully represented in areas of influence. The movement for equality of women was just one example of movements of people working together to end injustices. And for the most part it seems to have been a success, governments and other influential entities have many women among their ranks. Yet in the media was well as popular culture, a sizable amount of the imagery of women presented is somewhat derogatory in nature. So while women have won equality in life, many of them are somewhat dehumanized in media a public perception. What am I talking about?
First of this an example is a very old double standard. A man who has bedded a significant number women is seen in a very positive light among his male peers, a woman who does this will be seen as single word descriptions as slut or whore. Such woman's entirety is seen as something which is primarily about matters of intimacy, that one characteristic of behavior making other more subtle characteristics a moot subject. The media unintentionally glorifies women as sex objects, yet in real life such a disposition will be seen by most as something to be looked down upon. In media dramas where show women in the workplace, though women are usually portrayed in a positive light they still seem to be shown having relations with one or more co-workers; that even if they have professionalism they still are partly driven by being with men. The media has also created a stylized yet empty image of woman's beauty, women grapple with feelings of poor body image and that a woman's highest worth in society is as a attractive object. Though woman have achieved many victories, their public image still seems to lag behind significantly.
But changing this is not the job of men of men who might share such a view, much self respect and dignity is gained from a group overturning the injustices which confronts them.

Well, this is not the La Quinta anymore, it is the comfort inn as we found out during our check-in on our first day of stay. We entered the front door... to be told to come back in 30 minutes because of the construction of the motel lobby. Other than the work being done, our stay was fine. Ice machines worked, AC worked, TV worked. Rooms come with a fridge and microwave. Overall i have no problems with this motel other than the fact that Hotels.com did not warn me at all about the name change or the work being done to renovate the motel. – Casey Arkansas-st 08/08/2013

CANEY FORK: Several nice trout are being caught on flies while fishing periods of no flow between the dam and Bettye's Island.
CENTER HILL: Fishing is good. Water temperature is 69 degrees; lake is stable. Smallmouth fishing is good while fishing drop shods and spoons on points and near schooling shad in 15-40 feet of water. Crappie fishing is good, while fishing jigs and minnows in sunken brush in 15-25 feet of water. Walleye fishing is slow at this time.

My screenplay The Norm placed 3rd in the 2009 Slamdance Screenwriting Competition. This is an early draft, cleared of formatting in order to paste it onto this site. Only a few scenes.
The Norm (screenplay) by Britt Aamodt
INT. Right SIZE BOX company, ASSEMBLY FLOOR – DAY
The life cycle of a cardboard box. Machinery die-cuts
cardboard, shoots it along a conveyor belt to fold and stack it into
cookie-cutter box templates.
A progressive workplace. You might as well say progressive
life. Homelife. Worklife. Home, work.
int. norm's bedroom - day
LCD numbers CLICK 05:00. Alarm BUZZES. A LUMP wearily slides
from covers, plants stiff feet in waiting slippers. Trudges in matching pajamas
to bathroom.
The two blend seamlessly together, influencing each other.
You wake up. You go to work. Go home. Every day.
int. norm's bathroom – continuous
A bathroom bereft of personal expression, spotless. Bleary
eyes flash in the mirror. This is NORM CALDWELL, 58, the balding, puffed-out
poster child of middle-class boredom.
The mirror swings back. Shaver, toothbrush, toothpaste, pill
holder, all tucked in appropriate corners. Norm palms today's pills.
You are a living, breathing creation. A vibrant work of art.
But what about your workplace? Does it deserve the investment of eight, ten,
twelve hours of your life every workday?
montage - right size box company as workday begins
Shift workers punch clock.
Transit to smoking pen for a quick drag.
Find positions on assembly floor, ear protection and goggles
in place.
Right Size's senior vice president, JACK WAGGONNER, 57,
stands at the plate-glass viewing window, with coffee mug and email printout.
Crumples the printout into trash.
Here at Right Size Box Company we think about that a lot.
Not only should there be a box to fit every occasion, but a job to fit every
employee. A benefit, a policy, a regulation to keep pace with advances in
society and technology.
int. norm's kitchen – day
Now in shirt and tie, Norm confronts a shelf of identical
cereal boxes. Pours cereal into measuring cup, tips cereal into bowl.
A progressive society demands a workplace that bends to
employee needs.
INT. NORM'S LIVING ROOM – day
A denuded living room. Boxes of diminishing size march down
center. Norm, tie slung over shoulder, removes the last trace of
personality--artful bric-a-brac--and boxes it. Pauses at a photograph of his
wife and himself. Boxes it.
A workplace which understands that health care includes
healthy food in the cafeteria and discounted athletic club memberships. Which also
understands that our children get sick and need us to take a day off work, and
that sometimes our personal lives fall apart.
INT. RIGHT SIZE BOX company, ASSEMBLY FLOOR – DAY
An EMPLOYEE supervises the automated work. From behind, a
hand grabs his shoulder. It's the floor supervisor, RUTH BROWN, 58, sporting
gag glasses, nose and mustache.
As you sit in this room planning your future at Right Size
Box Company,...
int. company classroom – day
Norm commands a white board on which is lettered
"MOTIVATED EMPLOYEE + PROGRESSIVE WORKPLACE = SUCCESS". He grins down
on rows of tired, scruffy NEW HIRES.
...I want you to consider this word "success"--not
just in terms of your job, but your life. Eight hours a day, Monday through
Friday, this is your life. We can supply an enlightened workplace, but you
provide the motivation in the partnership. Together that equals success.
Norm's triumphant expression is greeted by silence. A hand
You, sir.
What's it you wanted us to do with this paper?
Holds up a white sheet that sits before each of the new hires.
That acknowledges that you've attended the Human Resources
Briefing, conducted by none other than myself.
Deploys his marker to underscore "NORMAN CALDWELL,
HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR" printed on the white board.
New hire
You want us to sign it?
Heads dip to the task. Norm, deflated, chucks the marker.
Shuffles pages arrayed on desk. The pages are titled: "PROPOSAL -
Suddenly, from the rear, Ruth Brown slides into the door,
wearing gag glasses. A big-boned woman with a fashion flare that borders on
gaudy. Hollers:
Who's ready to shake, rattle and roll?
Heads bob up.
C'mon, little newbies. Get those keesters outta the seats
and let's groove to the assembly floor.
Norm rubs temples. Rallies a smile.
This is Ruth Brown, your floor supervisor. She'll be showing
you around today. Just leave the papers on your desk. I'll have someone collect
Ruth claps her hands.
Let's hop to it.
New hires file out. Norm catches Ruth's shirt sleeve.
Take off those stupid glasses.
Ruth drops gag glasses, stares over them.
These? I can't see a thing without them.
int. front office – continuous
New hires pile into front office. JACK WAGGONNER holds up the
wall, arms crossed, inspecting the female members of the herd. Slick hair,
sideburns, filling out a suit tailored to someone 20 pounds lighter.
Ruth charges to head of line.
All right, everybody, let's move out. First stop: the
cafeteria for a free low-fat bagel. How's that sound?
APPLAUSE as Ruth troops them out. Norm exits classroom,
(to Norm)
Is it me, or are the female hires getting fatter and uglier
every year?
You see that getup? What is this, Groucho Marx day?
Not even Viagra could get a rise out of that mass of flesh.
Jack, she's driving me crazy.
Ruth? She's been driving you crazy since we were eight.
RECEPTIONIST slinks forward. Eyes Jack.
(to Norm)
I'll collect the papers.
Glides toward classroom, smoothing the skirt over her
And make sure they're all signed.
(to Jack)
All they have to do is a sign a paper, and sometimes they
can't even do that.
Jack wrenches his gaze from the receptionist. Checks watch.
Fuck a duck.
Meeting with el nuevo Presidente in fifteen.
What for?
It's his first full week on the job. What do you think?
He hasn't fired us yet. Mr. Ofstedahl promised--
Mr. Ofstedahl is the owner. All he cares about is making
money, and if that pimply youth he hired as our president says we go, then we
We've been here forty years.
ext. front parking lot – day
A Mercedes halts behind an ancient Volkswagen Karmann Ghia,
orange, wedged in "RESERVED" spot.
int. right size box company, entry – day
The glass doors dazzle with spring sunlight as CYRIL
MARKHAM, 38, the new president of Right Size Box Company, swaggers in, golf-course
trim, casually romantic in shirt and tie. Rips off sunglasses. Floats to
security desk.
Someone parked in my spot. I got the license plate.
Slips paper to SECURITY GUARD.
security guard
I'll get her towed. Just wanted to say too, Mr. Markham,
we're all glad to have you here.
Glad to be here.
int. front office - day
Markham strides through door to receptionist counter. Slaps
briefcase down.
(to receptionist)
Good morning, Sondra.
Sondra hands over three manila files.
Their files. And I sent Jack a reminder email about your
meeting with him.
Markham checks the area. Assured no one's around, asks:
He say anything about the meeting?
No, but I think he knows.
What about Norm and Ruth?
I haven't told them yet. Did you--
No, no. Well, actually, give me about ten minutes with Jack,
and then have those two join us, okay?
Sondra scribbles on her pad.
I'll call them. But I know Ruth's on the floor right now.
Markham cocks an eyebrow.
Touring the new hires.
That's right. Well, get hold of her somehow. I need to take
care of this today. This company's getting a complete overhaul. A year from
now, you won't even recognize this place.
Sondra produces an envelope and hands it to her boss.
From my uncle. It's a gift certificate.
He didn't have to do that. I would've hired you whether he
asked or not. You know, he got me my first executive promotion.
That's what he said.
How you liking this place?
I love it.
LAUGHTER breaks the quiet as TWO YOUNG SWELLS in tailored
suits enter office. Lock on Markham.
swell guy 1
Yo, C-boy.
You made it.
Raps his knuckles on counter, taking leave of receptionist.
Gives each man a quick, fraternal hug. Stands back to take them in.

As we try to race the clock to get this done before 2012 starts we get to give you the express version of the Saturday night prospect report for the New York Ranger and Islander prospects.
We're going to start in South Bend Indiana, where 6th ranked Notre Dame was playing host to 9th Boston University. Both teams were playing without key members of their team but at least in the case of Notre Dame they got strong performances from their two New York Islander prospects.
Anders Lee (NYI 2009 6th) broke out of a 9 game goal scoring slump with two goals as he led the Fighting Irish to a 5-2 win over Boston University. For Lee, His first goal of the evening came on the power play at 1:12 of the second and tied the game at 1-1. Notre Dame was able to add two more goals to end the 2nd period leading 3-1.
In the third period, it was Lee who kept up the pressure adding his second goal of the game this time at 3:30 this one at even strength. That was Lee's 14th goal of the season and it was also when fellow Islander prospect defenseman Robbie Russo (NYI 2011 4th) joined in fun himself.
Russo got the 1st of his own 2 point evening with a secondary assist on Lee's goal.
Less than 3 minutes later Russo earned a 2nd secondary assist on Billy Maday's goal scored at 6:23 for a 5-1 lead that put the game out of reach.
Lee improves to 14-8-22 while Russo to 3-8-11 on on the season.
Brock Nelson (NYI 2010 1st) registered his 15th goal of the season as his North Dakota Fighting Sioux defeated the Crimson of Harvard 7-3. It was not all that pretty of the game to watch but getting the win is what matters.
Nelson improves to 15-8-23 on the season which ties him for the team lead in scoring.
Scott Mayfield (NYI 2011 2nd) was scoreless as his 15th ranked Denver Pioneers defeated in-state rival Air Force 7-1 with no trouble at all. Mayfield was used as the top pair defender in this one and showed a marked improvement with his overall game over the last month.
Would like to see some more offense out of him but 1 step at a time also works.
Heading out west to the WHL in the state of Washington, we first start in Kennewick Washington as Brendan Kichton and his Spokane Chiefs paid a visit to their own in state rival, the Tri-City Americans.
Kichton was held scoreless as US Divison leaders Tri-City earned a 4-1 win to open up a 19 point lead in the standings over the Chiefs.
In Everett Washington, the Moose Jaw Warriors really did not have much trouble defeating the Silvertips 5-2. The Warriors limited the Silvertips to just 24 shots as Dylan McIlrath (NYR 2010 1st) had a quiet night concentrating more on his defense.
McIlrath did get into his six fight of the season which ties him with Samuel Noreau.
In the OHL, where Andrey Pedan (NYI 2011 3rd) and his Guelph Storm paid a visit to Mitchell Theoret (NYI 2010 7th) and his Niagara IceDogs. It was a quiet and for the uneventful being until the Storm exploded for four goals in third and won the game 4-1.
Heading of north to Canada and the 2012 World Under-20 Championships; let everybody else will bring out their list of what went wrong and we will address it next week.
Right now the thing that matters is that Canada defeated team USA 3-2 so they move on while the USA has to deal with the embarrassment of being in the relegation round.
JT Miller (NYR 2011 1st) and his linemates were the only real bright spots out of this part of the tournament. Miller had an assist on team USA's first goal of the game for his third point of the tournament. On the Canadian side there was Ryan Strome (NYI 2011 1st) who over the the last couple games despite his scoring as taken some very sloppy and very poor penalties.
Strome finishes the preliminary round with a very good 3-5-8 gets to rest until Tuesday when Canada will take on the of winner of Russia/Czech Republic.
Joining Canada on the sidelines will be Johan Sundstrom (NYI 2011 2nd) and Team Sweden who roared back from being down 3-0 to beat the Russians for 4-3 in overtime to claim the other bye into the semifinals. Sundstrom went 1-3-4 with a +4 which is not bad in we'll get to see how he handles a pressure situation.
The surprise for ranger fans has to be that only Peter Ceresnak (NYR 20116th) and Team Slovakia has a shot at winning a medal. A third period rally pushed Slovakia Switzerland 6-4 and a date against them and with the winner getting a base Canada in the semifinals.
As for team USA, they do not play again until Tuesday when the face Latvia then finish up against Switzerland.
Seeya 2011 Hello 2012
This past year 2011 was a mixed bag for me and that it was ever a time I mean really thank you all of you for being here for me this was it. You guys carried me when I was hurt you get me up and going when I wanted to quit.
It is a strange world out there, we lost some very good and caring people over the last few months so if we walk away from this last year with one lesson that we learned is to not take the blessings we have for granted.
I have some great friends in each day and with each day I am making new ones.
So maybe 2012 why don't we set ourselves a goal and make that goal to do some nice for a stranger. It doesn't have the fancy it can be as simple as saying hello or holding a door.
Something is easy as just trying to be nice to the next person might be a gift more valuable than you realize. I know if not for the kindness from guys here; on facebook or on twitter that my recovery would have been much harder than it was.
I say thank you for all you've done for me because I could not have this without you.
(Lee courtesy of the CCHA)

I accepted the invitation without thinking too much about it. After all, a girl's night out, whatever the season, is good for a laugh and the hostess promised her guests "pathways to Pure Romance." Perhaps we were going to discuss paperback novels from the grocery store?
When I arrived at the party, there was more than tea and cookies spread across the buffet table. A young woman in her early twenties was arranging packages, potions and three ten inch purple plastic penises.
What do you do when you realize you've come for "cock tales" instead of cocktails? This post is about how to revive your sense of romance, or at least your sense of humor, in midlife.
Even Old Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Our hostess, who was mired in divorce proceedings at the end of her thirty-one year marriage, was fifty-eight. The six women friends who accepted her Pure Romance™ invitation ranged from fifty to sixty five years of age. We were a decade or so older than the Pure Romance target demographic of twenty-five to forty-five, but who's counting?
There were three old friends from the catholic girls academy. One brought her older sister who hung out near an open window dragging on a cigarette. She proved to have the best grasp of modern sex slang and a divine dirty laugh.
Two neighbors with sleek bobs, pearls and silk scarves huddled together in conversation. An earnest nonprofit documentary filmmaker with a bushy bundle of gray hair and thick glasses slipped into a seat by the door at the last moment.
More and more women are "out there" looking for romance at an age when their grandmothers would have thrown in the (dish) towel. Sex After 50: Getting Back in the Saddle was considered news worthy even two years ago.
Whether from divorce, starting a new chapter in an empty-nest, or sheer boredom, we want saucy sex well after sixty. But are we game for all that goes with it?
Purveyors of Pure Romance
I've only been to two home selling events in the past ten years: Creative Memories® scrapbooking and Tupperware®. Neither aroused my, er, interest like Pure Romance®.
Founded in 1993 under the name Slumber Parties, Pure Romance is based in Loveland, Ohio. ( I jest not.) CEO and founder, Patty Brisben, is an advocate for women's sexual health and awareness. According to company statistics, more than 3 million Pure Romance "relationship and intimacy aids" are sold through 75,000 Romance Consultants at more than 200,000 parties each year.
The retail operations are balanced by the non-profit, Patty Brisben Foundation for Women's Sexual Health, which benefits all women through funding research on intimacy, breast cancer and heart health.
Like millions of other women in family rooms across the country, we were being offered more sex education at a Pure Romance party than we had received since the sixth grade.
Out of the Mouths of Babes
Our Romance Consultant checked the time on her cell phone, then smoothed her short skirt. She looked more like a twenty-four year old Assistant Librarian than a sex goddess. I nicknamed her GG, shorthand for "Good Girl."
I didn't blame her a bit for looking like she was in for a long, awkward night. I hoped that she had practiced selling her wares to her own mother since every woman in the room was more than forty years past the "age of consent."
GG had been selling Pure Romance for two years in a deep recession – her creams, gels and gizmos were her ticket to paying off ruinous student loans. We all felt a mother's pride in her young adult determination and so gave her our most encouraging looks as she passed out catalogs and took a deep breath to begin.
We started with an "ice breaker" game. GG asked us to write our most hated household chores and the reasons why on a three by five card. We were in familiar territory now. Dodging drudgery was our daily bread.
Each of us scribbled about our pet peeves, then grimaced when we were asked to read them aloud as "I hate (substitute sex for chore) because…" Score one for GG. We were giggling.
Pheromone Ph-antasies
GG led off with lotions and creams to soften our middle aged bodies into silken sylphs. We might have found shaving gels and bath soaks in Walgreens, but here self-care came with reassurances of romantic readiness.
Next GG moved into stage two: The Attractants. Pure Romance sells truckloads of their signature product, Basic Instinct™. The mysterious main ingredient is pheromones.
Research on pheromones is inconclusive, but those secret scents are thought to increase mating behavior among the birds and the bees. Perhaps smelling like fabric softener or frying bacon is not as alluring as we thought?
I thought that the Dream Sensual Pillow Mist®, also with pheromones, would make one helluva ironing spray. All those patchouli, lavender and rosewood oils made me all nostalgic for the Seventies.
The product labels gave little away about the "reconstituted andronone," but none of the ladies curiously sniffing their scented wrists were worried. We smelled ph-antastic.
Before GG started passing round the adult toys, she made sure to introduce us to "Sugar Cookie" flavored Whipped™, an edible creamy lubricant. It was the icing on the beefcake so to speak.
We tasted every product from Passion Fruit Prolonging Cream™ to minty Ex-T-Cee Enhancement Cream™, a new kind of Mother's Little Helper. I started to worry about calorie counts.
Fit to Be Tied
GG did a little skirt swirl with her reveal of eight foot long satin restraints, which she assured us would leave no marks on our walls, bed frames or wrists. For a moment there I thought I might have discovered a new way to secure my hyperactive husband for some bed rest.
The Pure Romance arsenal of personal massagers is wonder to behold. Where exactly do all of these appliances fit? We wanted appear knowledgeable, but were a bit dismayed. "Can you explain that again" was the refrain.
The elegant Silver Bullet™ is a bestseller even in the southern Bible Belt. There was the USB™, a model adapted for laptop pleasure. The rest of the lineup offered more lights, revolving and juddering than a Tilt-A-Whirl at a county fair.
By this time, at the highpoint of hilarity, GG was ready to take us each discreetly aside for private ordering. She had her wares in a Craftsman wheeled tool chest…how apt!
Reviving Romance
Is pure romance possible post-50? You betcha. Use it or lose it, baby. Joan Price, author of Better Than I Ever Expected: Straight Talk about Sex after Sixty, says that "many women discover that each decade [sex] gets better – as long as we're open enough to keep learning, changing and communicating with our partners."
It's not the same thrill as when we were twenty, thirty or even forty, but what I know for sure is that
- Romance doesn't come in a bottle, tube or spritz but a little attention to sensory details doesn't hurt.
- Romance like beauty, it lives in the eye of the beholder.
- Romance does not require batteries or lubricants, but may need some re-charging.
- Romance makes small gifts and gestures into priceless treasures.
- Romance has the power to silence cynics and bring brutes to their knees.
- Romance is more a state of mind than just a mindless pleasure.

A physics major consists of a minimum of 11 courses, usually five core courses, at least four electives, and two courses of research during the senior year. Students should be aware that most physics courses have mathematics corequisites and/or prerequisites, as listed in the course description. Courses above the 200-level typically require a facility with multivariate calculus (normally requiring completion of three courses in mathematics). Each student majoring in physics is expected to acquire a basic knowledge of classical and modern physics by taking a core sequence consisting of two semesters of workshop physics (131, 132 or 141, 142) followed by 211, 212 and 282 (or, MATH 171, 262). Students will then select at least four elective courses tailored to their preparation, interests, and goals. At least two of these must be at the 300-level or above. All physics majors not enrolled in a 3-2 engineering program must complete the senior research sequence 491, 492. In general the introductory courses intended primarily for non-science majors, Life in the Universe (105) and Introductory Astronomy (109, 110) may not be applied towards a physics major.
A physics minor is expected to acquire a basic knowledge of classical and modern physics by taking six of the department's course offerings, including a two semester workshop physics sequence (131, 132 or 141, 142) and 212. The remaining three courses required for the minor must be at or above the 200-level. A student may not apply courses used to fulfill the requirements of a minor in physics to fulfill the requirements of a minor in astronomy.
Options are available for students who wish to add an astronomical perspective to a major in any field. The minor consists of the following: 109; 110 OR 208; an astrophysics course at the 300 level or above; three regularly offered courses, independent study, independent research, or internship credits offered by the Department of Physics and Astronomy. One of these courses/experiences may, upon prior approval by the Department, be offered by another department or be an external experience such as a summer Research Experience for Undergraduates. No more than three of these courses or experiences may count toward both the physics major and the astronomy minor.
First Year: 131, 132; MATH 170, 171 or 151, 170Second Year: 211, 212, 213, 282; MATH 270, or 171 and 270Third Year: four 300-level courses including 311 and 312Students planning to do graduate study in physics, astronomy or engineering need to include 311 and 312. Students not planning to do graduate study in physics or engineering, options include 313, 314, 315, and 361 as offered.Fourth Year: 491, 492; 412, 431Students planning to do graduate study in astronomy need to additionally take 208, 306, or 406 as offered.204 taught in English at the University of Bremen has the prerequisites 131, 132 and GRMN 101 and 104 (or equivalent).
For information, see the Director of Teacher Education, or visit the Education Department web site.
Independent study and research is strongly encouraged by the department. Independent research projects are readily available in the two areas of continuing laboratory research: radiation physics, plasma physics, pattern formation, and astrophysics. Independent research students have often published papers and/or given talks at physics and astronomy meetings. Students planning on graduate study are encouraged to do independent research during the senior year, in addition to the required senior research 491, 492.
The research topic pursued in the senior year in the 491, 492 Research Seminar may be extended into an honors project with an in-depth paper and an oral defense before the physics faculty. For more detailed requirements, go to the department's web site.

The City Council has some nerve thinking they should get insurance after the way they treated the city retirees about their insurance. They are business men and women that already have insurance. As for the car allowance, the $40 per month should cover what little driving they have to do plus they already get mileage. 75% of my water bill goes for fees that have nothing to do with water usage, my property taxes went up again this year, (still the highest taxes in the State), groceries have doubled in price, gasoline is up to nearly $ 3 per gallon. My salary has not been increased since 2008. Medical insurance has increased as well as car and home insurance. Where is the money coming from to keep paying??? I lost all my 401K in the big Con last year. Our City Council thinks like Washington DC. They need to cut out all their non-essential spending instead of raising fees and taxes.
