Here's to Us
For our World AIDS Day 2011 section, we wanted to capture the diversity of the HIV community. So, we reached out to people across the world -- regular contributors and those who have never written for us before -- and asked them to guest blog. These columns are written by people who are living with HIV, have been affected by HIV, or work in the field.
I was completely oblivious to World AIDS Day until December of 2007. A very close friend Najarra and I were promoting our film, Tru Loved -- her publicist sent us to the Los Angeles World AIDS Day red carpet event. I remember crying that night: devastated by the personal stories that were shared, shocked at the statistics, but happy to hear of the incredible progress that has been made over the last couple of decades. As you know, there is still no cure ... with that said, there is MUCH more progress to be made. The statistics are still shocking and there are still thousands of people dying from HIV-related illnesses every year. I realize that there are many illnesses and viruses that are taking people's lives every day ... it's overwhelming, but this is one that I find people are afraid to talk about.
I know people think "It doesn't affect me." "I don't need to worry about it; I won't get it." "I'm not gay." I'm here to kill those thoughts. I'm here to bring another young face to this virus. I'm here to do what I can to get our world to zero.
Once upon a time, I was one of those people. I didn't even want to think about HIV/AIDS because then I would attract that into my life. I was in my own little bubble. Reality struck in July of 2009 during one of my regular check-ups. According to the global UNAIDS statistics in November 2010 (referring to the end of 2009), I was one of the estimated 33.3 million people living with HIV ... one of the estimated 2.6 million newly infected.
I was naive, careless and invincible. I allowed a relationship to majorly influence my morals ... my psyche. I know I have no one to blame but myself for this diagnosis ... but that's the hardest part to swallow. My world was a snow globe and some mischievous child just turned it upside down, shook it, and smashed it against the floor.
I shared my news with only a couple of close friends for the first few months. How was I supposed to tell my family? The same people that only four years prior warned me about the dangers of being gay and living in a big city. Though I know now it has nothing to do with either ... it's the choices YOU make ... the people YOU decide to trust and surround yourself with. Nonetheless, they are my family and deserved to know. What's the worst that could happen? I opted to travel 2,000 miles to tell them in person.
I had always been a pretty health-conscious individual, but this brought my consciousness to another level. Should I start medication right away or hold off until I need to take it? If you don't already know, there are many pros and cons regarding antiretrovirals. Three months later I had another round of tests done. My immune system was crashing and this stupid invisible bug was taking over. All right. I should start medication and tell my family face to face. Thirty days was given to my apartment, two weeks put in at my job. I packed up my vehicle and drove home. I wanted to start medication away from everyone I knew ... I had no idea how it would affect me mentally or physically.
When I got home, I saw my family needed me more than I could have imagined. My father, mother and sister all had life-changing events that month. I had to be the strong one; they couldn't handle that news right then. I held off, but there's always a breaking point with me. After getting into one of the biggest sibling fights my sister and I have been through -- ending in me being locked out of our house in a blizzard -- I ended up blurting out my status on Christmas Day 2009. There was a lot of crying, but I was shocked at how close it made everyone. Our family ties hadn't deteriorated -- they'd tightened.
It took me two-plus years, but I have finally built up the courage to be a voice with HIV. This virus is not my death sentence, so why not play the cards I have been dealt and wield an unfortunate situation into a helpful expression?
I assure you that you know or are related to someone that is infected with HIV. This epidemic may not be a part of your daily life as it is mine, but if we don't slow down the incline of infections and bring awareness to the virus ... eventually it will be. Worldwide, we all need to bring this illness to reality ... we need to pop our little bubbles ... we need to speak out and stand up. Get tested. Regularly. Tell your friends and family to get tested. Just talk about it. Stop ignoring this monster that's killing people on a daily basis. Together -- and only then -- we can get our world to zero.
Gratefully, I am not one of the estimated 30 million that have lost their lives to HIV.

The Stanford system is used more commonly now as it is more attuned to the management of the patient.
DeBakey Classification:
The DeBakey system, named after surgeon and aortic dissection sufferer Michael E. DeBakey, is an anatomical description of the aortic dissection. It categorizes the dissection based on where the original intimal tear is located and the extent of the dissection (localized to either the ascending aorta or descending aorta, or involves both the ascending and descending aorta.
Type I – Originates in ascending aorta, propagates at least to the aortic arch and often beyond it distally. It is most often seen in patients less than 65 years of age and is the most lethal form of the disease.
Type II – Originates in and is confined to the ascending aorta.
Type III – Originates in descending aorta, rarely extends proximally but will extend distally. It most often occurs in elderly patients with atherosclerosis and hypertension.
Stanford Classification:
The Stanford classification is divided into 2 groups; A and B depending on whether the ascending aorta is involved.
A – Involves the ascending aorta and/or aortic arch, and possibly the descending aorta. The tear can originate in the ascending aorta, the aortic arch, or, more rarely, in the descending aorta.It includes DeBakey type I, II and retrograde type III (dissection originating in the descending aorta or aortic arch but extending into the ascending aorta).
B – Involves the descending aorta or the arch (distal to right brachiocephalic artery origin), without involvement of the ascending aorta. It includes DeBakey type III without retrograde extension into the ascending aorta.

Research Interests
My research interests and diagnostic responsibilities involve GI, liver, and cutaneous pathology. I am most interested in the development of neoplasms in these organs.
I am the study pathologist in a large (~800 cases) population-based study of colon cancer in 33-counties of North Carolina examining traditional dietary and lifestyle risk factors, access and utilization of health services; and polymorphisms of carcinogen metabolizing enzymes. As a companion study, we are enrolling some of these subjects in a national colorectal cancer family registry that will have the potential to identify genetic markers for colon cancer risk. A major objective of this study is to determine why African-Americans with colon cancer fare more poorly than Caucasian Americans. A follow-up proposal dealing with the same issues for rectal cancer was funded and has recently begun.

Call her a design philanthropist. Mia Rao, of Mia Rao Design in Chicago, IL never thought that being a designer would win her any points on the do-gooder scale.
"For the longest time, I thought I wasn't doing anything philanthropic," says Mia. "But I've come to realize that people are really affected by their environment. It's exciting to watch the transformation of a space, but the most rewarding aspect of being an interior designer is finding out how much your designs can impact a person's life."
Mia has used Lightology for many of her projects, and shared with us some of her favorites.
Why Lighting?
"Lighting really has the ability to make huge transformations to a space. I think it is one of the most important aspects of my job; there is not much point to doing interior design without doing lighting. Once a client sees the right lighting in one space, they understand how important it is and almost always want to re-light the rest of their house."
Why Lightology?
"Lightology is the best in Chicago when it comes to variety and options. Clients are always impressed when they come into the showroom, and its just a fun place to go and pick fixtures. I have worked with a lot of the staff and I've always had very good service.
Because you guys are always ahead of the curve, there have been a few times where I have been the first to buy a new fixture from your showroom, and clients just love knowing they have a truly unique fixture."

Intellectual freedom in Canada: Libel laws finally clarified in Canada, not so clearly elsewhere
Franklin Carter at the Book and Periodical Council's Freedom of Expression Committee notifies great news!:
The Supreme Court of Canada has established a new defence against libel: "public interest responsible journalism."
The CanWest News Service reports.
Kirk Makin of The Globe and Mail reports.
Tonda MacCharles of the Toronto Star reports.
Because of the ruling, two newspapers in Ontario will get new libel trials.
The CBC reports.
In the National Post, Janice Tibbetts reports.
Great news? You better believe. There is no real journalism apart from "public interest responsible journalism." Who cares whether someone's neighbour is kibitzing with the letter carrier, or whether the building super is brewing hooch in the laundry room cupboard? Like, that stuff is just so not a public issue (a private issue for the parties concerned, sure, but ... ).
Real journalism is precisely why big wheels sue newspapers and journalists for reporting news that they don't want the public to hear. They take advantage of incidental mistakes, to throw a cloud of squid ink over the big picture, as the linked reporters and columnists explain.
Assume Thugley Beggarall is suing the Toronto Star because the paper reported that he was convicted of blowing up 35 Pleasant Drive whereas the house he totalled was 33 Pleasant Drive. Hard to tell from the mess, in which surrounding houses were also writeoffs, though not his intended target. And what public interest is supported by his legal action for libel?
If you think you deserve responsible and informative news coverage, rejoice with me over this ruling. All a Canadian journalist need do hereafter is "due diligence."
Obviously, some journalism is irresponsible. But you will find that in the tabs at the supermarket checkout counter, along with the exploding bubble gum + funnies, and astrology scrolls. Everyone who is old enough to be trusted with an allowance should know what to make of such rubbish. When a medium discredits itself, it isn't really a big problem.
Meanwhile, in the United States and Britain, good citizens are also fighting back against this present darkness: Rachel (of New York State's "Rachel's Law") writes,
The recent movement to change British libel laws to allow for greater freedom of expression has its origins in New York City and New York State.Apparently, Ehrenfeld had no rights as a US citizen, until New York State passed "Rachel's law", exempting US citizens resident in New York from insane libel findings elsewhere. Florida, California, and Illinois have passed similar laws, but Ehrenfeld is hoping for a national ruling by Congress.
I am a New York-based scholar specializing in research on terror financing and economic warfare. In my book, "Funding Evil: How Terrorism is Financed—and How To Stop It," I alleged that Saudi billionaire Khalid bin Mahfouz funded al Qaeda, Hamas and other terrorists organizations through his charitable fronts.
In 2005, Mr. Mahfouz sued me for libel in London, where my book had never been published or marketed. He chose London due to its antiquated libel laws, which are plaintiff-friendly. As recently noted by New York Times correspondent Sara Lyall, London is known as the "Libel Mecca" of the world, and Mr. Mahfouz was the most notorious abuser of the British system. A one-man wrecking crew of Americans' free speech rights, Mr. Mahfouz exploited British libel laws and courts, threatening or suing more than 40 writers and publishers, including many Americans. These cases were never tried on the merits. Mr. Mahfouz's litigiousness and deep pockets helped to silence and intimidate Americans and others who tried to expose his terrorist connections.
Except for me.
I refused to acknowledge the jurisdiction of the British courts, asserting my rights as a U.S. citizen. Unimpressed, the British judge rendered a default judgment in favor of Mr. Mahfouz. I was ordered to pay the Saudi more than $225,000, publish apologies in major international newspapers, and destroy all copies of my book internationally.
Well, good luck with that, in the present social engineering environment.
Here's another one, in case you thought the Islamists were the only feature on this show:
Joseph Sharkey, a New Jersey-based freelance travel journalist, is being sued in Brazil for "insulting the dignity" of the nation in the aftermath of a lethal plane crash that he and few others survived. Mr. Sharkey, who criticized Brazil's incompetent air control on his blog, was sued for defamation, and the Brazilian government is moving to criminalize his case.Right. Government-funded lawsuits are way cheaper than competent air control.
In my experience, if guidance and resource personnel behave competently, they can offer a reasonable account of what happened, even if everything else horses up. So why sue an unhappy passenger?

First-year students live in one of the 20 beautifully restored Victorian-era mansions that ring the central campus. Once stately homes in the highly sought-after historic Hill Section neighborhood of Burlington, each residence hall maintains the gorgeous woodwork, bay windows and curved staircases of its era as well as other architectural elements from the period, yet all are thoroughly updated to include ultrafast Wi-Fi, live and on-demand streaming TV and movies, laundry facilities and other amenities.
All Champlain College residence halls have cable television, wireless internet and access to a shared gigabit connection, and are smoke and substance free, co-ed communities.
371 Main Street / 396 Main Street /158 South Willard / Adirondack Hall / Bader Hall / Bankus Hall / Carriage House / Cushing Hall / Hill Hall / Jensen Hall / Lyman Hall / McDonald Hall / North House / Pearl Hall / Rowell Hall / Sanders Hall / Schillhammer Hall / South House / Summit Hall / Whiting Hall
This building was acquired by the college in 2012. A Victorian mansion much like our other buildings on campus, many of the rooms at 371 Main Street feature bay windows allowing an abundance of natural light to radiate the newly refurbished living spaces. Additionally, 371 Main Street features a huge common area with a pool/ping-pong table and wall-mounted television.
396 Main is a residence hall with a feeling of "home." 396 Main is a former mansion with a lovely entry hall, foyer, large windows and gorgeous woodwork. The lounge is the focal point of the hall, where you will often find students engaged in an array of social and educational activities. There are a total of 15 student rooms with approximately 34 primarily first year students in 396 Main.
Frederick Ward built this Tudor-style house in 1902. He was a life-long banker, and was associated with the Burlington Savings Bank for 47 years. Champlain College acquired the house from his daughter in 1966. In the 90's Champlain swapped the house with Sigma Alpha Epsilon for the fraternity's house on Summit Street. In 1999 Sigma Alpha Epsilon lost their charter and for two years Alpha Delta Pi Sorority leased the house. Champlain bought the house back in 2001 and renovated it back into a dormitory. At that time, it was decided to use its street name instead of Ward Hall.
Champlain's newest addition, 158 South Willard is located conveniently on the corner of Main Street and South Willard in the heart of Burlington's coveted Hill Section. Built in the Second French Empire style but recently renovated, the 13-bedroom mansion is full of life since becoming the home of 29 Champlain students. Residents love 158 South Willard's ornate woodwork and marble fireplaces,as well as the convenience that it offers to both Champlain's campus and many popular Burlington attractions.
A Brief History
Designed in 1877 by a local architect for General William Wells, 158 South Willard is one of over fifteen surviving Fisher buildings in Burlington. After serving in the war, Wells went on to take charge of a successful pharmaceutical business from his father, eventually expanding to have offices all over the world, including branches in London, Montreal, and Sydney. After his passing, Wells passed on his fortune to his daughter, Bertha, and her family. In 1972, University of Vermont's Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity acquired the building, but in 2017 turned it over to Champlain with a lease of up to five years.
Students love Adirondack Hall for its small, intimate setting. Part of our sophomore year experience, the building houses only twenty students in beautiful, spacious rooms. The building, a former carriage house, was recently renovated. While it now features many modern niceties such as newer furniture and air-conditioning, it still possesses its historic architecture and charm.
A Brief History
Adirondack Hall was built in 1897 for the Smith family. Charles Plympton and Anna Pease Smith resided in what is now McDonald Hall and used the Adirondack building to house their carriages. It was later converted into a residence for Levi Smith, President of the Vermont State Senate and grandfather of Charles Plympton Smith. Champlain acquired the property from the Smith family in 2004 and renovated it in 2008.
Located at the corner of Maple and South Willard streets in the center of campus, Bader Hall represents the ideal combination of size and convenience at Champlain. Since Bader is located right in the middle of campus, residents have access to a variety of college facilities just a few steps away. Primarily housing incoming students, Bader is an ideal setting for a first year student looking for a smaller community. Once used as the administrative offices for a growing Champlain College, this residence is complete with a view of the lake from its west-facing windows. The interior of the building was also newly renovated in the summer of 2012.
A Brief History
Bader Hall was constructed in 1873 and sold in that same year to Edward Lyman for $17,000. Lyman operated a dry goods store on the corner of Church and College streets. He was also prominent in many civic affairs, and held offices in banks and other corporations. Lyman died in 1890, and his daughter Minnie and her husband Robert Roberts moved in with the widow Lyman and resided there until 1940. Roberts was a partner in the law firm of Roberts and Roberts and also served as mayor of Burlington from 1899-1901 and from 1912-1913. He also served in the Vermont state legislature. When he died he left the property to the University of Vermont, which used it as a dormitory, Roberts Hall.
Bader Brouilette bought the Roberts property from UVM in 1961; it was the second building acquired as part of the expansion of Burlington Business College when it was relocated from downtown in 1958. Although it is generally assumed that President Brouilette named the building for himself, he actually chose the name Bader Hall to honor his mother, Edith Bader. The formal name of the building is Edith Bader Hall. From 1961-1981 Bader Hall served as the administration building for the college, and at one time its living room housed the College library. One notable feature of the house is an indentation in the side porch floor. Minnie Roberts required that her husband smoke his cigars on the porch, where he smoked and paced while he prepared his law cases. Eventually he wore an oval path into the floor of the porch.
Check out one of Champlain's most unique buildings. The large foyer serves as a lounge for the students who live here and the sweeping staircase makes this a place where community thrives. Bankus Hall is home to 42 students who live in eight doubles, four triples, two quads and a five person suite.
A Brief History
This is another of the Champlain College buildings that was designed by the architect A. B. Fisher. It was built in 1889 for the prominent Burlington lawyer Henry Ballard, who lived there until 1902. Frank Wells, of the Wells family that built 158 So. Willard Street and 61 Summit Street, lived there until 1916, when the house was purchased by Frank Abernethy, a local department store entrepreneur. In the 1930's the house was sold to Trinity College, which named it Mercy Hall. It was sold in 1960 to the UVM fraternity Phi Mu Delta, from whom Champlain College purchased it in 1992. The house has undergone extensive renovation since its purchase. Bankus Hall was named for John Bankus, Vice-president of Finance at Champlain College from 1965 to 1977.
Carriage House is among the smaller residence hall communities at Champlain College: 15 students reside here in three double rooms, two triple rooms and one single room. Due to its smaller size, residents at Carriage House tend to establish a strong community. Located at the end of Cedar Lane and adjacent to Schillhammer Hall, Carriage and Schillhammer share staff and resources.
A Brief History
This building, as its name implies, was built to house carriages, and later automobiles, for the Presbry family, which built 109 Summit Street. The carriage house was converted to a family home in the 1930's and acquired by Champlain College in 1994, when it served, initially, as the residence of the President of the College.
Cushing Hall is located in the center of campus and is home to 30 returning students. Formerly an academic office building, Champlain renovated Cushing Hall in 2005, making it one of Champlain's newest, air conditioned residence halls. From Cushing, it is just a short walk to the IDX Student Life Center, dining hall, fitness center, and academic buildings. Although Cushing may not look like a Victorian era home, it is very popular because of the location and the personal privacy it offers. Students in Cushing Hall are very connected to one another. Students take it upon themselves to be welcoming and energetic about opening their rooms to other residents.
A Brief History
The land for this house was acquired in 1871, and the house built in 1872 by George Bigelow for his sisters, Susan and Elizabeth Bigelow. George Bigelow is listed as a border in the house from 1872-1883. He is identified as the Assistant Editor for the Burlington Free Press and Times in the 1870's, but later is listed as "Special Agent USPO Dept." After its use as a residence by the Bigelows, the house passed through a number of owners, including Clarence Morgan, who built Freeman Hall as a carriage barn. In the 1950's, Cushing was converted to four apartments. Champlain College purchased the house in 1962, its third acquisition in the Hill Section of Burlington, and converted it to multi-purpose use for the College. It was named to honor Ruth Cushing, Marjorie Freeman Brouilette's mother.
Newly renovated, Hill Hall is another example of the lovely turn-of-the century mansions that are now Champlain College residence halls. This air conditioned building is located on the corner of South Willard and Maple streets in the center of campus. Hill boasts beautiful woodwork and recently renovated bathrooms. Students like the friendly, homey atmosphere of Hill Hall, and they particularly appreciate the trust and respect students show each other. Hill houses approximately 39 primarily first year students.
A Brief History
Hill Hall is a twin to Lyman Hall, both of which were built by A. B. Fisher in 1884 for the Dunham brothers, successful lumber barons. John Dunham left Burlington for Albany, NY in 1892. F. E. Burgess, president of the Horatio Hickok Company, lived in Hill Hall from 1894 to 1920, when it was sold to Edward Clarkson, who had formed a partnership with Thomas Wright and Frank Abernethy. Clarkson's daughter married Ralph Nading Hill, Sr., and they raised their family in this house. It is their son, Ralph Nading Hill Jr., for whom the building was named. He was a well-known and respected Vermont author, and he wrote the first history of Champlain College, The Invisible College.
Jensen Hal is one of our most attractive and certainly one of our most highly sought after residence halls. The two-level "tower room" is one of Champlain's best known architectural features. Jensen Hall houses approximately 38 primarily first year students.
A Brief History
Jensen Hall was designed and built in 1888 by A. B. Fisher for William Loomis. It was then sold to John Robinson, who was president of the Vermont Life Insurance Company. Walter Gates, City Editor of the Burlington Free Press, lived there from 1904 to 1938. There were several other owners, including UVM, which converted the house to a women's dormitory known as Claggett House. In April 1965, Champlain College purchased the house as its first building to be used as a residence for students. The dormitory was named for Albert Jensen, who was Bader Brouilette's partner in the purchase of Burlington Business College. Mr. Jensen died soon after BBC was acquired, but his vision for the school is memorialized in this building. Jensen is, by far, one of the most beautiful dormitories on campus.
This turn of the century mansion has some of the most beautiful interior woodwork on the Champlain College campus. In nice weather students gather on the porch to visit and watch the world go by. Located next to Hill Hall, Lyman is in the center of campus. 38 residents, primarily first year students share this warm community. Lyman Hall houses approximately 38 students who live in 4 doubles, 9 triples, and 1 quad.
A Brief History
Lyman Hall is the "twin" to Hill Hall, and like that other building, was built in 1884 for one of the Dunham brothers, who were lumber barons. When the Dunhams left Burlington in the early 1890's, the house was purchased by Elias Lyman, a wealthy merchant who dealt in coal and oil, and was involved in other enterprises. He lived in the house until 1923, when it was sold to Thomas Wright of the Abernethy, Clarkson and Wright department store . There were several other owners between 1923 and 1968 when the building was acquired by Champlain College. The building was named Lyman Hall by President Bader Brouilette to honor both the family that had lived there for so long and two faculty members of the same name who had made significant contributions to the College. Lyman Hall's original garage and chauffeur residence is now used by the College at West House.
McDonald Hall is located on northwest corner of Maple and South Willard streets. McDonald features turrets, arches, a formal main stairway, and beautiful woodwork. This unique residence hall is constructed of red brick with a slate roof. McDonald Hall is a beautiful and popular residence hall and home to approximately 48 residents. You will often find residents hanging out on the front porch, engaged in frequent social and educational activities, and enjoying the front lawn on warm days. McDonald Hall houses primarily first year students.
A Brief History
This home was built for C. P. and Anna Smith in 1897. Mr. Smith was a prominent businessman and banker, whose family carried on the banking tradition. It was Mr. Smith's son, Frederick Smith, who was financial advisor to Bader Brouilette through the early years of Champlain College's development. The house remained in the Smith family until purchased by Champlain College in 1979. It was named in honor of Verne McDonald, who was Vice President for Admissions at the College from 1964 to 1989.
Located only two blocks north of the main campus, North House is one of our smaller residence halls. North House offers an ideal combination of personal privacy, comfort, and the traditional Champlain residence hall experience. The primarily first year residents of North House describe the community as warm, comfortable, homey, and intimate —living in this residence hall is just like living in a big house! North House contains approximately twenty residents. North House is a very short walk to downtown Burlington, making its location the ideal spot, nestled within a quiet neighborhood between the Champlain campus and Burlington attractions.
A Brief History
North House was designed and built by the architect A. B. Fisher for Riley Stearns, a druggist. Mr. Stearns died in 1902, but his widow continued to live there until 1917, when the house was sold to William Stone, who is listed as "retired." The next owner was the McSweeney family, which produced three Burlington physicians: Patrick, Katherine, and Douglas. In the early 1960's the house became a co-op run by Mr. and Mrs. North. When Champlain College purchased the co-op in 1966 and converted it to a residence hall, Bader Brouilette decided to leave the name as North House, to honor the couple who had provided housing for Champlain students.
Pearl Hall is literally surrounded by Champlain buildings and offers the most convenience in a residence hall for Champlain students. Pearl Hall is the closest residence hall to the fitness center, dining hall, gym, and the entire IDX Student Life Center. The primarily first year residents of Pearl describe its beautiful tile bathrooms and its large porch as creating a comfortable living space on campus. Pearl Hall is also very close to most academic buildings on campus, making it a short walk from bedroom-to-classroom!
Pearl Hall houses approximately 49, creating a great environment for meeting new people and making new friends. Pearl's room layout is quite unique, from turret rooms to L-shapes, to corner singles, Pearl has something for everybody. Its brand new front porch is a great place to hang out with friends or to get some studying done on a warm fall day.
A Brief History
Although Pearl Hall is not at first glance as imposing a structure as some of the other properties owned by the College, it is of particular importance to the history of Burlington and of Champlain College, because this is the house that the architect A. B. Fisher built for himself in 1888. Fisher and his son, also an architect, designed the house as a simple, yet elegant Victorian home. Fisher, however, did not live in the house for very long. After his wife died in 1891, he sold the house to C. R. Turrill, secretary for the Vermont Life Insurance Company, who then sold it to H. Nelson Jackson, who bought it for his father, the Reverend Samuel Jackson, to live in. The house was inherited by Reverend Jackson's son, J. Holmes Jackson, a prominent dentist and several times mayor of Burlington. In 1937 the building was converted to an apartment house. It was leased by Champlain College as a dormitory for women students in the 1960's, when it was known as Brault House, since that was the name of the family that owned the building. It was purchased by Champlain College in 1968 and renamed Pearl Hall to honor H. Dean Pearl, former principal of Burlington High School, professor of education at the University of Vermont, and for seven years, Director of Admissions at Champlain College. Joyce Hall was also built on property that was part of this estate. Pearl Hall's original Carriage House was Pearl Annex, which was torn down to make room for the IDX Student Life Center.
Rowell Hall underwent a wonderful renovation is the summer of 2006. A Greek Revival mansion, Rowell Hall stands out as one of Champlain's most beautiful and most sought-after residence halls. Residents of Rowell describe the rooms as beautiful and stunning. Rowell Hall houses approximately 49 first year students. Rowell Hall is an air conditioned building with large bathrooms, a refrigerator, television, and microwave. With its center-of-campus location, modest resident capacity, and attractive rooms, this hall is often the first choice for many Champlain students.
A Brief History
Since Rowell Hall was built in 1918, it does not have the classic Victorian look of most of the other houses in the area. It is, however, a beautifully designed building. The original owner, Roy Leonard Patrick, was the treasurer of the G. S. Blodgett Company, secretary of the Standard Coal and Fuel Company, treasurer of the Eastern Magnesia Talc Company, treasurer of the Woodbury Granite Company, and president of the Rock of Ages Corporation in Barre. The house remained in the Patrick family until 1953, when it was sold to the University of Vermont. It was purchased by Champlain College in 1972, and was completely renovated in 2006.
Sanders Hall features a family atmosphere where students really get to know one another. Sanders Hall features rooms of all shapes and sizes, each with its own personality. Sanders Hall is located in the heart of the Burlington hill section. Sanders Hall is a traditional center hall mansion with a recently renovated foyer and beautiful woodwork. Sanders Hall is ideal for students seeking a close community in a residence hall and convenience to Burlington's downtown scene. Sanders Hall houses approximately thirty-nine primarily first year students.
A Brief History
Sanders Hall was built in 1865 for the Turk family, who operated a department store on College Street in Burlington for many years. The family lived in the house until 1921, when for a short time it was used as a fraternity house. It was then sold to the University of Vermont and used as a dormitory. The house was named Sanders Hall after Daniel Sanders, who was the first president of the University of Vermont. When the building was purchased by Champlain College in 1967, Bader Brouilette decided to leave the name of the building unchanged.
Schillhammer Hall is on the corner of Cedar Lane and Summit Street. Adjacent to the Miller Information Commons, this house marks the southeast corner of Champlain's campus. Residents of Schillhammer appreciate the caring, family like atmosphere. West-facing rooms offer spectacular views of the beautiful Lake Champlain. Schillhammer is home to approximately 27 primarily first year students. Many of the rooms have adjoining bathrooms.
A Brief History
The original owner of the house, Oliver O. Presbry, lived there from 1895 to 1921. The house was then occupied by various families, most notably James Cashman, Burlington City Engineer. In the late 1930's the house was converted to apartments. Champlain College purchased the house in 1994 and converted it to its current use. Champlain also purchased this building's Carriage House.
Richard Schillhammer graduated from Champlain College (then called Burlington Business College) in 1934. He founded Queen City Printers Inc. in Burlington in 1951, after working for seventeen years at the Free Press Printing Company. He retired in 1982. He has been an active community member, and joined the Board of Trustees of Champlain College in 1985, and served nine years. The Schillhammer family also boasts other Champlain graduates: son John, daughter-in-law Ann, granddaughter Shari and her husband, Randy Verge. In honor of his outstanding contribution to Champlain, East House was re-named Schillhammer Hall in June, 2008.
South House is located at the corner of Cliff and South Willard streets in a quieter, more residential part of Burlington's hill section. Residents enjoy a big back porch and yard during warmer weather and two lounges to engage in hall activities throughout the year. South House marks the southern boundary of our main campus. South House has approximately 50 primarily first year residents. South is one of our larger residence halls, yet residents describe the community as tight-knit and close, while providing ample opportunities for meeting new people and making new friends.
A Brief History
South House was built in 1885 by Lorenzo Woodhouse, who was the treasurer of the Merchant's Bank in Burlington. He built the house next to that of his brother, C. E. Woodhouse, who was president of the same bank. The house is a good example of a colonial revival mansion. In 1910 a servants' wing was added. The house remained in Woodhouse's name until 1929, when it was sold to a series of owners and was eventually purchased by Alpha Delta Pi sorority in 1953. It was acquired by Champlain College in 1996.
Summit Hall is located in the heart of the Burlington hill section, close to the Miller Information Commons and the main campus. Summit Hall has replaced 215 South Prospect as our traditional building open during break periods, making it ideal for international students. Summit Hall boasts a large lounge which can be used for practicing and playing musical instruments, watching movies, or engaging in one of many frequent social or educational residence hall programs. Summit Hall has a large front lawn, which, during the warmer months, is great for impromptu games of Frisbee and for hall BBQ's. This stately brick building is appreciated for its many unique rooms. Summit Hall houses approximately forty-nine residents who are a mix of returning and first year students.
A Brief History
The original part of the house was built in 1893 for University of Vermont Professor Samuel Emerson. He was the only individual owner of this house. In 1926 the house became a fraternity, and a modern wing was added to the south side of the building in 1962.
Whiting Hall is located in the heart of the residential campus on the corner of South Willard Street and Maple Street. Whiting is a Victorian-era mansion with beautiful original woodwork and three floors of student rooms. Whiting shares lawn space with McDonald Hall, and has a large front porch. On warm days, you will find residents studying under trees or playing Frisbee with their McDonald Hall neighbors! Whiting is home to approximately 40 primarily first year students.
A Brief History
Whiting Hall was probably built as a summer home for a prominent lawyer, John Drew. He died in 1879, but his widow resided there until 1888, when the house was sold to Alfred Whiting for $12,000. Whiting was the owner of a prosperous company that manufactured fibers for brushes. The Whiting family lived at this address until 1924, and then deeded the house to the University of Vermont, when it became the home for the then president of UVM, Guy Bailey. In 1942 the house became a UVM dormitory, and was called Elmwood Hall. In 1957, Frederick Smith purchased the dormitory and converted it back to private use. Champlain College purchased the house in 1967, and reconverted it to a dormitory. President Bader Brouilette decided to name it Whiting Hall in honor of the family that had resided there for so long.

In 2011, the Lions looked like one of the NFL's up-and-coming teams, with young high draft picks like Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson and Ndamukong Suh leading them to the playoffs.
And then the Lions came back to earth with a thud in 2012.
The Lions' 12-loss season in '12 was a disaster on the field, not to mention off the field, where the Lions became the poster boys for bad behavior in the NFL. This offseason has been a little quieter in Detroit, but will that lead to a better season on the field?
Our six-person PFT panel voted the Lions the NFL's No. 20 team this season. We explore the reasons for that ranking below.
It all starts with the passing game, where the highly paid Matthew Stafford and the even more highly paid Calvin Johnson are one of the best young combinations in football. Johnson, who broke the all-time single-season receiving yards record last year, is one of the most talented receivers in NFL history. Players with his size, athletic ability and sure hands just don't come along very often, and there's every reason to believe that Megatron will continue to be one of the league's elite offensive players.
Based on pure talent, the Lions also have a defensive line that could make scouts drool, but it remains to be seen whether that talent will translate into great results. Defensive tackle Nick Fairley has said that he thinks he and Ndamukong Suh are the best pair of tackles in the NFL, although Suh wisely said he'd rather let his play do the talking on that one. Ziggy Ansah, the defensive end whom the Lions picked with the No. 5 overall pick in this year's draft, also has freakish athletic talent, but he's still new to the sport and may not be ready to be an every-down player as a rookie.
The secondary has been a weakness of the Lions, but they could be strong at safety if Louis Delmas can stay healthy and new arrival Glover Quin can play as well for Detroit as he did for Houston. Delmas and Quin have the ability to be one of the better safety combinations in the league.
The Lions' offensive line struggled last season, and it remains to be seen whether things will get any better this year. At first blush, it would actually appear that the line has gotten worse: Starting left tackle Jeff Backus retired, starting right tackle Gosder Cherilus left to take a big contract with the Colts, and starting right guard Stephen Peterman was a cap casualty who ended up signing with the Jets. The best the Lions can hope for is that 2012 first-round pick Riley Reiff proves to be ready to fill Backus's shoes and that some combination of holdovers Corey Hilliard and Jason Fox, rookie Larry Warford and veteran additions Jake Scott and Leroy Harris can take up the two spots on the right side of the line.
Special teams were a disaster for the Lions last year, and kick coverage was the biggest reason that the Lions quickly dropped to the bottom of the NFC North: Detroit's 1-3 start included back-to-back losses to the Vikings and Titans in which the Lions gave up both a kickoff return touchdown and a punt return touchdown, making them the first team in NFL history to accomplish that dubious feat. If the Lions' kick coverage had gotten the job done, there's a good chance they would have started 3-1 instead of 1-3. Kick returner Stefan Logan also had a disastrous season. The special teams absolutely must get better this year.
Reggie Bush is the highest-profile addition to the Lions, and he has the potential to be a game-changer. The Lions got just about nothing in the way of big plays from their running game last year: Mikel Leshoure, their leading rusher, never had a run of more than 16 yards all season. Bush is the kind of big-play threat who can change that, and he said after he signed with the Lions that he's licking his chops from watching film of the way defenses leave running lanes open while focusing most of their attention on stopping Megatron. Bush could also have the kind of impact on the passing game that Jahvid Best had before concussions derailed him during the 2011 season. Best had 27 catches for 287 yards in six games in 2011 before his season came to an end.
An even more noteworthy change may be that Jason Hanson, the Lions kicker who set an all-time NFL record for the most games played with one team, has finally called it a career. He's been replaced by David Akers, who struggled with accuracy last year with the 49ers but who has a stronger leg than Hanson. The Lions need Akers to find his accuracy, but if he can, he'll help turn around their special teams.
Both of last year's starting defensive ends, Kyle Vanden Bosch and Cliff Avril, are gone. Ansah will take over one of the starting spots, and the other is likely to be filled by Jason Jones, who was a backup for the Seahawks last season. The Lions have to hope that Ansah and Jones can fill in for Vanden Bosch and Avril without missing a beat.
Camp Battles.
The right side of the offensive line will be up in the air going into training camp. At right tackle, Corey Hilliard and Jason Fox will compete, but it's unlikely that either will be as good as last year's starter, Gosder Cherilus. At right guard, rookie Larry Warford is the favorite to start, but Jake Scott and Leroy Harris will be around if Warford isn't ready yet.
At cornerback, Chris Houston will be one of the starters, but the other starting spot is wide open. The Lions would love it if second-round pick Darius Slay can prove in training camp that he's ready to be an NFL starter from Day One of his pro career, but if Slay needs some time to develop, the starting job could go to any of last year's three cornerback draft picks (Jonte Green, Bill Bentley, Chris Greenwood) or veteran Ronald Bartell.
The Lions' leadership simply can't afford another 4-12 season. It would be hard to justify G.M. Martin Mayhew and head coach Jim Schwartz keeping their jobs in that scenario. So improvement is important.
And improvement is also likely: This team has too much talent to be as bad this year as it was last year.
Still, the outlook for the Lions isn't great. They look like the worst team in the NFC North, and a second consecutive last-place finish is likely.

Veteran's Day
1:34 PM | Posted by Gabby Faye | Edit Post
Time to remember the family we know who have served. I already did layouts about my mother's brother Lyman Oehring in WWI infantry Red Arrow(Big Red One) division, and my dad's cousin, Clair Garver in the Navy Band, but I recently came across a big portrait of Mother's cousin Richard Hodges from Mount Pleasant, Michigan. I don't know much about Richard except my mother's telling me he had died in the war. I started trying to locate information about Richard. What I found was an explanation as to why the records are so incomplete and sketchy. The numbers of allied killed and where they were buried is just so muddy. Records were not kept and estimates of numbers vary by thousands and thousands. Many were buried where they died and no marker or record available.
So...I will keep looking in case something about him is available.

It sounds easy to drive a car through a bus, but most people go at the wrong angle. These Dutch hoons use a little Fiat Uno to demonstrate the right way through.
The trick is to start from the front and drive through to the back, or vice-versa. It also helps to have a gutted bus. Whatever you do, do not attempt to drive through the side of the bus, as this will result in massive accident.
(Hat tip to Klic!)

Perhaps I should give it a start XD
After watching the series, now to think back, the love triangle was not handled really well...I guess to define the term "Romance", the least requirement is that both must be thinking about each other strongly or explicitly admit that he/she loves her/him...We see that "romance" only in the pari Micheal/Klan and Ozma/Kathy actually...Michael at last admits he loves Klan before he dies and Ozma/Kathy was just a very typical relationship we get in anime...
About other pair, Luca thinks Nanasse strongly but that is too one-sided...Similiar things happen in LT, as Ranka thinks Alto strongly (Same as Sheryl too I guess), but Alto very seldomly thinks about those two when he doesn't see them. What I mean is that he is lacking some "soliloquy" to reveal to audiences so we have a better chance to know who he cares more..the closest examples towards Ranka are running towards stair madly in ep 21? and the one of the very few "soliloquy" he displays during the show in ep 23...towards Sheryl...I can only think of that ep 24...and even at that scene, Sheryl kisses Alto initially...
I hope I will see more "insight thought" from Alto about those two lovable ladies in the movie, so audiences have more resource to analyze the LT
Does this post fit the requirement mod XD?

Now as for the discussion, I'm glad this thread was made. This makes things much easier to discuss. Now let me get back on topic xD, ok guys I want to hear the opinions from everyone because this is something that has been bothering me for quite a while now. My main topic that I would like everyone to discuss is Symbolism, now I've seen people talk about everything from Alto's paper planes to Sheryl's earrings, I would like to hear what kind of symbolism everyone has caught that represents any romance between the couples, even the earrings if you honestly believe that it represents something. Besides the 2 obvious and maybe some other obvious objects could represent the romance between each pairing.
I've been really thinking about some things lately and I think this could be an interesting topic to discuss seeing as how there are plenty of people that feel strongly towards certain pairings, whether it be AltoxSheryl, AltoxRanka, OzmaxCathy, KlanxMichel even LucaxNanase or whoever else you feel is acceptable as a couple. If anyone has some hidden symbols that some of us might have missed, please begin explaining what the object is and what the symbol could mean and of course to which pairing it leans towards most.
Now discuss away

Lovestruck Fool?
Join Date: Jan 2006
I think that romance hinges on how the feelings of the characters are expressed. It's not enough for the writers to simply state that a character is in love; the audience has to witness it through the character's interactions.
In the case of Michael and Klan, we're introduced to their relationship after it has already matured. The audience is fully aware of the fact that Michael loves Klan well before he makes his statement to that effect. As such, the purpose of that line was not to inform, but to drive home the message that he was too late in admitting to his feelings.
I think the problem with Luca's relationship with Nanase wasn't that it was one-sided. For one thing, while he was interested in her, his feelings never struck me as being particularily intense, prior to Nanase's injury. Likewise, when she was hurt, he didn't seem particularily conflicted about leaving her behind (in fact, his reaction to that scene is curiously absent).
While this might have been because there wasn't enough time to focus on his feelings, the impression that I got was that Luca seemed to use Nanase's injury (and Michael's death) as a reason to justify his continued involvement with Leon, to himself.
I think the main love triangle, however, was done quite well. The suspense in the story hinges on the fact that we don't know Alto well enough to understand his feelings until near the very end of the story. It's not really an issue of whom he loves more (how do you love someone 'more', anyways?) - it's just that his relationships with each of the two girls is different.
As for symbols, well... I guess you'd have to discuss them under a specific context. Even for something as ubiquitous as Alto's paper planes, the same symbol can convey different meanings in different scenes.

Anyway, as hindsight is 20/20, I think alot of it comes down to the switch in writing staff midstream, as well as the whole war aspect. A pair like LucaXNana was almost comic relief at first, and evolved into... well, it evolved, anyway. As did MichaelXKlan, putting the nails into the coffin of my MichaelXSheryl ship... sigh. I mean I think Ohnogi did an excellent job evolving almost all of the characters, but there's still a tinge of a lack of consistency from the beginning of the series until the ending... I wonder how (and where) the movie is going to start, much less how it ends, now that it's all going to be under one writer...

And I frankly don´t see the inconsistency in the characters at all, unless you are referring to Ranka, who seemed to revert constantly. The rest of them seemed to evolve very naturally into their relationships. Where exactly do you see this lack of consistency?

As far as Ohnogi getting carte blanche... meh that one should be self explanatory. You can't completely redefine the focus of the main characters and have it not trickle down throughout the rest of the series/characters/storylines, no matter how many of the early writers were still left.
For the record I was more or less agreeing with/elaborating on Swamp's commentary, but like... I can't admit to it, you know?
...back to the shadows I go...

I think the series would have been better served by around five more episodes to get all relationship and character arcs resolved.

Hmm. From my opinion Luca had some flaws at the end. I did not see that he had a mentionable improvement. In terms of romance I had not the feeling that he had impressed Nanase. I accept that they may be a potential romance but the chances are 40:60.
Which romance impressed me most was Colonel Wilder and Monica because of their improvement from superior and subordinate to a peer in future.
We should wait for the 50th anniversary. This will give a lot of time to create multiple trianglers, romances and heroic deaths of pilots.

I felt like rewatching Macross F the other day and Ranka is not as bad as I remembered. Sure, she´s made some rather retarded decisions here and there, looks like twelve and needs to be rescued all the time, but she´s a nice kid at heart.
Of course, the love triangle is absolutely one-sided. There was barely any chemistry between Alto and Ranka.

*yawns* Discussing the LT is a neverending fight; and I pretty much disagree with everything that's said about the matter xD
LucaxNanase is an interesting one because it's...sudden? It's one-sided, indeed; but the thing that amaze me is, how quickly it changed from a crush, to love. We can see for a long time that Luca likes Nanase, but he really never makes anything about that. It could have stayed as a random crush, but then...she was injured. And suddenly we discover that Luca's madly in love for Nanase (and she doesn't even know it!) Too rushed for my tastes.
OzmaxCathy is a really cute couple; there's nothing more to say about them. They look good together.
Aww, I really like MichaelxKlan...In fact, Michael's death disgusts me a little. For a series with so much fights and battles, of all the major characters (leaving aside Grace), just Michael dies? It's unfair. At least, they could have made more important deaths, adding with that a little bit of drama!
Poor Klan. No doubt why the production like her so much; she really had the worst part.

Thanks..it's not very common that ppl agree with me in this forum ..
Well I only hope in the movie that Michael will admit his love to Klan a little bit eariler (or they are already a couple in the Movie) so they will have some happy times before Micheal dies again in the movie (I really doubt the movie will change the utlimate fate of Micheal)...tho I don't know whether those "happy times" will make Klan even more sad when Micheal dies

Star Date, do you mean the scene where Alto carries Sheryl into his locker?? That was episode 5?? They just met for the third time? and LT hasn't really started yet
And that "pivotal moment" in 22, unfortunely Sheryl's sickness does contribute a bit there...Of course, "sickness plot" is nothing new in other romance series, male lead sometimes pick the one who has sickness and sometimes he realizes he loves the other one. But in my opinion, the LT hasn't handled well because in 22, we don't know how big the sickness from Sheryl has influenced Alto's judgement (and we never know that even when the series finishes), then we see Alto's speech in 23 regarding Ranka, in ep 24 Sheryl says stop playing the lover game...Alto was trying to say something, but we never know what he was trying to say, and in ep 25, Alto says you two are both my wing....
So I think audiences still have not enough resource to analyze Alto's deep feeling towards Ranka/Sheryl...he just thinks of them not enough XD

That would be if we'd stop watching at episode 22. Episode 23 was all about Sheryl doing the "me this, me that" stuff. Even Alto complains that's not the Sheryl he used to know (Luckily, Sheryl redeemed herself on Episode 24)
Anyway, there aren't good examples of selflessness on MF. Speaking of Alto...everyone was waiting for him on his birthday, but he preferred to follow Sheryl. And not because he wanted to be with her; but because he wanted to fly ¬¬

I think she did, and more than Sheryl At least, if one can consider that thinking about the Vajras is a big deal.
And, while it's true that Sheryl gave up on Alto for his sake, people tend to forget that she wasn't the first one on doing that...

Anyway, Ranka acted selfishly most of the time peaking with her resolve to fly away from Frontier. Getting caught and being used while waiting for the Shining Knight VF Clad Alto is rather funny to watch.

Looking for Wilson's of Rotherham
As an adopted ex-pat now living in Queensland, Australia I am looking for any WILSON's that have or still live within the Rotherham and South Yorkshire region. In particular any surviving relatives of Rouel (who past away in 1999) his wife Anne or their daughter Joanne Marie.
I really do wish I could elaborate more about them but alas I know little about them. Since they have been in the region for a good number of years there is a good possibility of other relatives being there too.
Any help would be more than welcome.

You may be looking for dragons as a species. See Dragon (species).
Dragon is Donkey's love interest and eventual wife from the Shrek franchise. She initially started out as an antagonist, charged with guarding Princess Fiona in her castle, but later reforms and helps Shrek as a supporting protagonist.
Dragon first appears while guarding the derelict castle which serves as Princess Fiona's prison.
It can be assumed that this is her long-time, permanent domicile, since the tower houses a large hoard of treasure and happens to be littered with the bones and armor of many unsuccessful knights who tried to rescue Fiona.
While searching for the princess, Shrek and Donkey become separated within the castle. Dragon traps Donkey on a stone pinnacle, intent on eating him like so many other intruders. Out of desperation, Donkey smooth talks Dragon with compliments, causing her to become infatuated and spare his life.
When Dragon traps Donkey on a broken bridge Donkey uses his charming and smooth talk to seduce her to not eating him. In conclusion, Dragon flashes her eyelashes at him and blows a smoke of a heart. Dragon grabs an unwilling Donkey with her mouth and hauls him back to her lair, shaking her hips back and forth happily and swaying her long tail around as she walks away. She wraps him up in her tail, trapping and squeezing him in her coils and attempts to flirt with him persistently. Her attraction initially appears quite one-sided, but this does little to dissuade her. She makes the first move by lighting the hanging chandelier above her with her fire breath, lifting Donkey in her tail, puckering her lips and leaning in closer for an attempt to kiss him. Unfortunately for her, Shrek intervenes right at that moment to rescue his companion. He swings over them with the chandelier's heavy chain, drops onto her tail and frees Donkey from her tight embrace. This leads Dragon to accidentally kiss Shrek's butt instead. Infuriated, Dragon resumes her rampage, but Shrek manages to collar her with the chandelier. In order to prevent Dragon from pursuing them across the bridge, Shrek pins the chain links with a sword. This gambit saves Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona as they flee to safety. Dragon is left alone and devastated.
Later, Shrek and Donkey break up their friendship. A brooding Donkey discovers Dragon, weeping with loneliness by a brook. While her escape from the castle is unexplained, Dragon clearly has no wish to return to her old life, or even her hoard. Feeling sorry for her, Donkey overcomes his initial hesitation and approaches the forlorn woman, whereupon the two reconcile and become a couple.
A tamed Dragon helps Shrek and Donkey prevent Fiona's wedding to Farquaad by flying them to Duloc. Upon landing, Donkey tells Dragon to have fun – which entails her chasing off some local knights. However, Shrek's failure to rescue Fiona from Farquaad's clutches prompt the ogre to whistle for Dragon. At this point, Dragon intervenes by smashing through a glass window, breaking through the glass and devouring Farquaad. The glass then shattered from Dragon's body weight simply crashing through the window. Donkey, riding her head, threatens the assembly by claiming "I have a dragon here and I'm not afraid to use it". This restores peace, since everyone present is glad to be rid of Farquaad, as well as being frightened of a dragon who simply smashed the glass window and completely destroyed it (Dragon vandalized the place by smashing the windows). He is later seen again in her stomach, but the events of Shrek 4-D confirm his inevitable death by digestion.
This was also the first time Dragon had ever smashed through glass, however shortly after she punches her fist through another glass window, breaking it into pieces. Dragon became notorious for breaking of glass which she promised never to do again.
During Shrek and Fiona's wedding celebration at the swamp, Dragon cavorts with the rest of the fairy tale creatures. As the newlyweds leave in their carriage, she catches the bouquet thrown by Fiona and lovingly presents the flowers to an embarrassed Donkey.
A later karaoke number was produced for the CD of Shrek. One scene features the two lovebirds performing a song-and-dance. While Donkey sings a rendition of Baby Got Back, Dragon provocatively shakes her backside at the camera – eventually knocking her boyfriend off his feet with her swaying tail.
Shrek 4-D
This short film was produced as the audio-visual media of a Universal Studios ride, but it was released as an additional featurette along with the original Shrek film. Dragon has a prominent role in this production, first taking Shrek and Fiona on her back to their honeymoon hotel, and then helping the pair and Donkey to get away from an animated dragon statue magically brought to life by the ghost of Lord Farquaad. Dragon's aerial maneuvers through a narrow defile causes the pursuing stone dragon to break its wings off, effectively terminating the chase. Dragon saves them again as they plunge over a waterfall, and ultimately, incinerates Farquaad's ghost with her fiery breath, finally finishing the job she began when she swallowed him in the first Shrek film.
Shrek 2
While not stated, this film implies that Dragon and Donkey got married at some point following the events of Shrek. In the beginning, Dragon is only briefly mentioned by Donkey to be acting 'all moody and stuff lately'. She does not appear until the very end of the film (actually in an extra inter-credits scene) – accompanied by her and Donkey's hybrid children.
This inclusion was made when fans attending pre-screenings complained about the character's absence from the film. Initially, Dragon was intended to have a more meaningful role in the original storyline. When the other main characters were changed into more beautiful or heroic characters by Fairy Godmother's magic potion, Dragon was supposed to change into a beautiful female Pegasus, the perfect match to Donkey's transformation into a handsome stallion. But these ideas were dropped, and Dragon only makes a cameo appearance in the post-credit scene, where she proudly introduces her offspring to their father.
The "mutant children" are hybrids with mostly donkey features, but sporting dragon wings, tails, resulting in an ability to fly and breathe fire. There is some confusion as to whether the babies were hatched or born. On one hand, Dragon's eggs can be seen in a spin-off video game. On the other, Donkey's confusion about his wife's 'moodiness' suggests pregnancy.
Shrek the Third
Dragon plays a more consistent role in this film. Her child-rearing responsibilities prevent her from accompanying Shrek and Donkey on their quest, choosing instead to stay behind with Fiona and the other princesses. When Fiona announces her pregnancy, Dragon is shown to be happy for her.
Despite her size and ferocity, Dragon gets captured relatively easily by Prince Charming and his allies during their attempt to take over the kingdom of Far Far Away. It is probable that she submits due to the capture of her smaller and more vulnerable children, who are then locked up in the zoo.
Once the Dronkeys are released, Dragon joins the battle to recapture the Kingdom, turning the tide by tipping over a model tower that crushes Prince Charming to death.
She and her family can be seen during the credits sequence, living alongside and interacting with Shrek and Fiona's newborn children.
Shrek the Halls
This made-for television Christmas special takes place shortly after Shrek the Third.
Along with other characters, Dragon, Donkey and the Dronkeys show up uninvited at Shrek's home on Christmas Eve, where they create chaos with their antiques. Dragon nearly burns the house down when she tries to light the chimney, unwisely blasting a huge ball of flame from her mouth.
Throughout the special, Dragon pokes her head into Shrek's home through the window, but cannot join the others due to her large size. She also appears in Donkey's story for Christmas.
Shrek Forever After
At the film's beginning, Dragon flies the Shrek family and Donkey from their swamp to the Kingdom of Far Far Away to celebrate the Ogre Triplets' first birthday. When they arrive, Dragon and Donkey share a brief kiss and tells her not to eat the vallet.
Dragon's reappearance occurs when Rumpelstilskin releases her to devour Shrek and Fiona, now chained to the walls. No explanation is given for how Dragon was captured. Having never met Donkey, Dragon recognizes neither her husband nor her friends.
Donkey and Puss save Shrek and Fiona by dropping part of a huge disco ball on the dragon's head, but this stops her only temporarily. In desperation, Shrek encourages Donkey to "woo" Dragon. Donkey goes to the point of kissing the female, but her only response is to gobble him up instead. Before Donkey gets swallowed, Puss sticks Dragon in the backside with his sword, causing her to bellow and spit her prey out. Humorously, Donkey misinterprets this predatory act as some form of "kiss" and happily shouts out "I'll call you!" Dragon then continues to hunt Shrek and Fiona but gets thwarted by them and ends up muzzled and trussed up in chains.
At the end of the film, with the original universe restored, Dragon returns to her normal, more benign personality. Both she and Donkey remained a happily married couple. The ensuing Shrek karaoke scene even features Dragon playfully gobbling her husband without swallowing, contrasting the parallel world and underlining the love and depth of their relationship.
Scared Shrekless
Dragon and the Dronkeys were completely absent from this film.
Dragon is a giant magenta-red female dragon who is 100-feet long (or 30 meters) from snout to leg. She sports a pink belly, maroon spines, white spikes on her cheeks, webbed ears, bat-like wings, razor-sharp claws, and a long spade-tipped prehensile tail. She also has obvious feminine features like lipstick and large eyelashes, to avoid any mistake in identifying her as a female dragon, since this is critical to the plot of the first movie. Whether these are natural markings or deliberately applied makeup is never revealed. In some of the original conceptual drawings, Dragon was even more obese and had a mop of dishevelled hair. The original intention seems to have involved making her analogous to a lonely, overweight, unattractive woman, which would have made her spontaneous romance with Donkey more convincing. Much of this was lost in her final design of a fat, but not grotesque, classic European Dragon. She communicates using both her body language and loud roars. She and Donkey share strong affections for each other and she is also very protective of her Dronkey babies. Despite her love for Donkey, Dragon is still a dangerous and destructive carnivore who has eaten many knights and Lord Farquaad, although the latter act was to protect Shrek and Fiona.
Video Game Appearances
Dragon appears as a boss in Shrek the game.
She also appears in Shrek Smash and Crash Racing as Donkey's kart, because Donkey used the wand of the Fairy Godmother to make her smaller.
- Early versions of Shrek the Musical featured Donkey's proposal to Dragon.
- Shrek the Musical is the only instance of Donkey and Dragon ever singing a duet together (I'm a Believer).
- In the commentary for Shrek 2, filmmakers stated that Dragon's storyline was drastically changed during the course of the story. She was going to be at the house when Shrek and Fiona got back but test audiences were afraid of her pregnant moodiness. She was also supposed to show up when the other fairy tale creatures showed up in Far Far Away to rescue, Shrek, Puss, and Donkey from the jail, as a talking pegasus horse (Because Donkey drank the Happily Ever After potion, she changed too). Filmmakers stated that it was just too hard to have her keep the pregnancy a secret when she was talking, plus she had TOO much to say, so, the idea was nixed, but they did state that she still changed, making her Donkey's official true love.
- In Shrek Forever After, to the audience that it was the first time to see Dragon and Donkey share a brief kiss.
- Donkey and Dragon's daughter Eclair, has been missing since the beginning of Shrek The Third.
- Dragon was originally supposed to be much bigger and fatter than she ended up being. Animators wanted to portray her as more of an unattractive, overweight woman that would seem more unpleasant for Donkey and Shrek to deal with. Eventually test audiences were offended with the idea and Dragon got a makeover to make her who she is today.
- Dragon's voice can be heard in Shrek The Musical, where she is talking and singing.
- Dragon somehow learned to read because she has a cookbook on cooking knights.
- Dragon does not speak at all (she just roars, growls, and snorts).
Dragon also appeared in a television commercial where she sets fire to a studio office after she overhears comments alluding to how 'big' she is, displaying anger as one would expect of a human woman who is told she is too fat. She is also seen in Shrek inspired video games.
Very little is known about Dragon's life prior to the first Shrek, other that she guarded Fiona for many years and devoured many unsuccessful knights who tried to rescue her.
Dragon's actual age is unknown, but she appears reasonably young for her species. The first film draws some similarities between her character and Shrek. Not unlike the protagonist, Dragon initially comes off as mean and selfish. But although not consciously withdrawn from the world, Dragon appears to harbour a lonely personality beneath her hard surface, evidenced by her strong desire to reach out to Donkey. One should note that her hoard is never seen again during the series, suggesting that she has found something she values more than riches.
It can be speculated that the scheming Fairy Godmother made a deal with Dragon to guard Fiona, possibly in return for the many knights she was able to eat that would come to her Tower in rescue attempts, and perhaps some choice items for her treasure hoard after Charming became King. It is probable that Fairy Godmother had prearranged for Dragon to allow her son Prince Charming to come and take Fiona, considering that he entered the Tower seemingly without concern.
Like the other most popular Shrek characters, a wide variety of "Dragon" toys and collectibles were created in conjunction with the various films. The first Shrek film had a large range of action figures including a highly detailed, and now fairly rare figure of Dragon. A battery operated, flying version of Dragon in the approximately same scale, "flew" in circles when attached to a ceiling. Shrek 2 introduced a Dragon toy that fired a spring loaded fireball out of her mouth, and came with a much smaller Dronkey that touted an actual "smokey" smell. In addition there have been a wide variety of plush toys in various scales, as well as McDonald's "Happy Meal" toys.

I write to encourage the medical community to place a renewed emphasis on the problems associated with memory loss.
I write to encourage the medical community to place a renewed emphasis on the problems associated with memory loss.
Typically, when one ages, one can often remember yesteryear easier than yesterday. If that is an accurate assessment of how the brain functions as it ages, a remarkable reversal is taking place. I call attention to two recent letters on this page.
One writer, welcoming Walmart to Oriental, indicated that company's part-time minimum-wage jobs would boost the economy and help eradicate poverty in Pamlico County. He alluded to bad economic conditions brought forth by the present administration in Washington. This writer, unlike most aging persons, has failed to remember yesteryear. The Dow Jones industrial average plummeted 24 percent during the last four years of the previous administration. On the contrary, it has experienced 31 record highs in the present administration, closing one day recently at 15,676. The Dow average was only 7,949 when the last administration left office.
Another writer decried the deficit spending by the present administration. Here again, someone has forgotten yesteryear. Yesteryear in school, one learned that spending by this nation's government is realistically controlled by the Congress. The President submits a proposed budget, but Congress says yea or nay on that budget. The "big lie" in this country is told by Congressmen, the Senators and Representatives who return to their districts blaming the president, no matter who, no matter from what party, for deficit spending. Government spending is only somewhat attributable to the Executive branch of government, but is one of the primary functions of the Legislative branch.
We keep sending these Senators and Representatives back to Washington, believing their big lie and blaming everything bad on whomever is President.
Memory is critical to the functionality of our society and government. I urge our medical community to advance studies on ways to diminish memory loss.

Gazette editorial failed to identify petroleum industry-funded critic of ethanol
In an editorial that questioned investing in ethanol as an alternative energy source, The Gazette of Colorado Springs quoted a representative from the Energy Policy Research Foundation but failed to note that the organization is funded by dozens of oil companies.
A January 27 editorial in The Gazette of Colorado Springs critical of using ethanol as a petroleum substitute quoted a representative from the Energy Policy Research Foundation (EPRINC) without noting that EPRINC is the latest incarnation of a long-standing oil industry advocacy group, the Petroleum Industry Research Foundation (PIRINC). PIRINC is described on its website as a tax-exempt organization [1] "supported by approximately 35 oil companies."
According to the Gazette editorial (accessed through the newspaper's electronic edition):
"Once we have a corn-based technology up and running, the political system will protect it," Lawrence J. Goldstein, of the Energy Policy Research Foundation, told the [New York] Times. "We cannot afford to have 15 billion gallons of corn-based ethanol in 2015, and that's exactly where we are headed." Rather than plunge ahead, Goldstein says politicians need to "step back and reflect on the damage we have already done."
The Gazette failed to note, however, that PIRINC on February 1 is changing its name to the Energy Policy Research Foundation, as detailed in a January 3 memo [2]. The memo stated that "[a]lthough we are changing our name to the Energy Policy Research Foundation (EPRINC), our mission will remain the same. In recent years, our role has brought us to look at energy developments well beyond the petroleum industry, hence the name change is both timely and appropriate."
While the group's website states, "PIRINC does not speak for the [oil] industry or any of its segments," it does note that "[i]t is supported by approximately 35 oil companies ranging from major internationals to regional marketers."
Additionally, news reports have called [3] PIRINC "an industry-financed think tank" and described [4] the organization as a "nonprofit research institute financed by the oil industry."
