Fixing the Age Gap: Shirlee Zane of the Council on Aging stands in front of a portrait of a client by Harvey Henningsen.
Same Old Problems
As our population ages, the healthcare system struggles to catch up
By Joy Lanzendorfer
Roy and Ivera Cobb can't even remember how long they've lived in Sonoma County. The couple lives in Burbank Heights Apartments, a retirement community in Sebastopol. Like many older people, they subsist on a fixed income that includes Social Security--a hard enough feat as it is considering the ever increasing cost of living.
A few years ago, health complications led to some new medical bills for the Cobbs. They had Medicare, but that didn't help when it came to the cost of prescription drugs, which the program doesn't cover. Pushed to make choices between their health and food and shelter, the Cobbs decided to declare bankruptcy.
"I didn't like it very much, myself, " says Ivera. "But we're not the only ones we know who have had to take out bankruptcy to pay for our bills. I know other people who did it. At least four or five people I know took bankruptcy out because of healthcare."
The Cobbs continue to struggle with their medical bills to this day, which they say are hard to manage. But when it comes to paying for their prescriptions, they have no choice.
"I just go and get the prescriptions anyway, even when we don't have the money," says Ivera. "I have to have it."
While the healthcare system poses a challenge for most people these days, for the elderly the problems are more pressing, especially in light of the closing of Sutter Medical's Senior Health Center this month. The center was the only program in Sonoma County that specialized in geriatric medicine. With its closure, it will mean one less option for seniors when it comes to their healthcare. If this trend continues, their only option left will be to not get sick.
An Aging County
Chances are, the healthcare of the elderly population will affect you at some point, too. Sonoma County's population of 55 and older grew by 21 percent from 1990 to 2000, and 12.6 percent of the county is over 65 (slightly higher than the state average), according to the 2000 census.
More remarkably, the number of people aged 45 to 54 grew 82 percent during the same time period, compared to an increase of 49 percent nationally. That age group will continue to grow, as the largest segment of the U.S. population, the baby boomers--those born between 1946 to 1964--marches toward retirement. As that group ages, the healthcare system will be increasingly strained, and small problems that exist now may become serious later.
While Sonoma County's largest population is still a young one, with the age 35-44 population barely edging out the age 44-54 population at 16.5 percent to 16.1 percent, younger generations will also be affected by senior healthcare. As parents and grandparents deal with large bills or neglect their health problems because they can't afford to see a doctor, the younger generations may end up paying for care or giving the care themselves, at great burden and personal sacrifice.
"We're an intergenerational society, whether or not we want to pretend that the market is king," says Carol Estes, professor and founding director of the Institute for Health and Aging at UC San Francisco. "It's just not the case when we're in a family. These problems can't be solved separately."
The Senior Center's Demise
Healthcare is in bad shape in Sonoma County. Among other problems, costs continue to rise, doctors and other medical professionals are in short supply, and healthcare providers are closing down or restricting services. Since most of the elderly are on a fixed income, and since they have the biggest need for medical care, changes in the medical system hit them the hardest.
"If I were going to pinpoint one issue that is affecting the elderly, I would say access to care," says Shirlee Zane, executive director of the Council on Aging. "Medicare is not widely received by doctors anymore, and the cost of prescription drugs are high, especially for people who only have Medicare."
Nearly 700 patients were served through Sutter's Senior Health Center, though CEO Mike Cohill estimates that there are probably closer to 530 repeat patients. Sutter has been undergoing major restructuring. It laid off over 70 employees and closed its pediatric intensive care unit in December.
"We implemented the overall hospital breakthrough plan in an attempt to stem the significant financial losses we were taking of around $2 million a year," says Cohill. "The senior section was also losing money, about $200,000 per year."
Though only one-third of the center's patients had Medicare, it was losing money because the government does not reimburse equal to every dollar of Medicare spent. When the center opened, reimbursement was based on the cost of operating. Over time, the reimbursement changed to a flat per-visit charge, which was not enough to cover the cost of operating, explains Cohill.
The closing of the Senior Health Center has been met with opposition from senior groups, who feel that Sutter Medical could maintain the center if it were made a priority.
"Sutter is doing what a lot of healthcare organizations are doing right now," says Zane. "They are saving the sexy programs, the ones that are going to pay. They are keeping the heart program open, which has nice coverage, but they are closing the geriatric center, which wasn't really losing that much. But Cohill sees that though it's not losing much now, it won't make a lot of money in the long run."
Sutter is required by law to find its patients new doctors or risk accusations of patient dumping. As of this writing, Sutter still needed to find doctors for 240 patients but was confident it would be able to do so before the end of the month, despite the fact that fewer doctors are taking Medicare.
Critics admit that while it is likely that Sutter will find the doctors, the move will be hard on older patients, who often have long-standing relationships with their doctors.
"I've had to change doctors three times, and I'm 43 years old," says Zane. "Imagine what's that like for someone in their 70s or 80s to make that change, especially when they have a long health history with a doctor."
The center was also the only one specializing in geriatric medicine. Seniors have more complicated health needs requiring attention, such as emotional and cognitive problems. And while a family practice may be equipped to deal with most health problems, seniors can sometimes get lost in the shuffle.
Generally, seniors can find technologies like voice mail intimidating and confusing. They can also have a hard time adjusting to the more streamlined, efficient doctor visits designed for younger patients who understand modern approaches to medicine, such as group classes and shorter visits.
In fact, research shows that elderly people get less time with a doctor on average, only about seven minutes compared to about twice that for younger people, according to Estes.
"Young people get more time with your average doctor, while at the same time, the elderly need more care and have more complex needs," she says. "That's how they end up taking a bag of 30 drugs. The doctors don't have the time to check them out properly."
With the closing of the Senior Health Center, Kaiser's Senior Advantage Program becomes the only Medicare program of its kind still operating in Sonoma, Napa, and Marin counties. While healthcare providers of all kinds struggle, Kaiser continues to do well financially because its costs are all contained in one system.
Still, the North Bay Kaiser operations received only two out of five stars on a survey this spring by the California HealthCare Foundation. The survey rated HMO plans for seniors by looking at premium costs, co-payments, plan benefits, and prescription drugs.
But even the survey admits that most of Kaiser's faults were related to the low reimbursement rate from the government for Medicare patients, something that has taken quite a toll. Last year, Health Plan of the Redwoods went under, leaving 78,000 patients with new doctors and higher rates. Five other medical groups also collapsed, all due in part to low reimbursement from the government for Medicare. Simply put, the cost of healthcare has greatly increased while reimbursement rates haven't kept pace.
Sonoma County has an additional problem because the government has classified it a "rural" rather than an "urban" area. The rural designation means that healthcare providers receive 15-20 percent less than urban areas.
"There have been a lot of changes in Sonoma and Marin counties with groups collapsing," says Karen Weddle, project director of the Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program. "As things continue in this direction, physicians will limit their practices even more to Medi-Cal and Medicare patients. It will exacerbate an already serious problem."
Medicare and Prescription Drugs
Another problem for seniors is that Medicare doesn't cover prescription drugs. In fact, Medicare has never covered drugs since it was formed in 1965, yet drugs have become central to medicine since that time. Biopharmaceutical advances have led to drugs that can mean the difference between life and death, prevent serious surgeries, and improve quality of life for a patient. And there are hundreds of other new drugs in the FDA pipeline waiting to be released to the public. While many believe seniors are overmedicated as a whole (a problem more likely caused by multiple doctors and short visit times), there's no denying the importance of drugs in modern medicine.
One prescription can cost several hundred dollars. And 67 percent of seniors on Medicare have multiple chronic illnesses often requiring multiple prescriptions. Paying for all those prescriptions can quickly become unmanageable.
Seniors deal with this problem in different ways. Those with low incomes can go on Medi-Cal, which does cover prescription drugs. Others use organizations like the Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program to help sift through complicated supplemental Medicare programs. Still others use HMOs to cover the difference, and many simply try to get by with paying out of pocket for their medicine.
Roughly 20 percent of the average senior's income is spent on out-of-pocket healthcare expenses, usually for medicine. For the low-income population, about 40 percent of income is spent on prescription drugs and other healthcare expenses. It's easy to see how seniors can get in situations where they are faced with choosing between their healthcare needs and their bills. It's also easy to see why so many declare bankruptcy, like Mr. and Mrs. Cobb.
Some say drug companies are taking advantage of the fact that Medicare doesn't cover prescriptions by making money off of a captive market. "There is a lot of profiteering in pharmaceuticals," says Estes. "Our whole healthcare system is built on a profit motive, which has distorted the incentive for care. It makes care less accessible to the population. For-profit HMOs and for-profit pharmaceuticals and for-profit long-term care just raise costs and don't have a uniform set of benefits for everyone."
Others, however, feel that the market is the best way to regulate the cost of healthcare. President Bush is pushing through a bill that would add drug benefits to Medicare. He is urging Congress to vote on it by July 4.
Under the bill, drug benefits wouldn't be doled out through a complex formula of reimbursements, as is the rest of Medicare. Instead, private insurance companies would start government-subsidized prescription drug plans for the elderly. The bill would also encourage patients to get their healthcare through Preferred Provider Organizations, or PPOs, which would push them toward specific providers.
Republicans feel that using private insurers this way will create competition and drive prices lower, thereby giving seniors more choice. Democrats, however, say this is the Republicans' attempt to privatize Medicare and to scratch the back of the pharmaceutical and insurance industries.
"Bush's plan is a step in the wrong direction," says Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey. "Privatization works wonderfully to maximize profits but falls short of providing the healthcare that American seniors need. Healthcare is a public necessity, and it must not be left to the whims of market forces, profit margins, and private business concerns."
Many liberals support building on the existing Medicare program and moving toward universal healthcare. Rather than watering down the system through involving the private sector, proponents want to see additions to the system so that eventually all people will be able to access healthcare.
But universal healthcare has its detractors, too.
"Universal healthcare eats at the gross national product and offers far less care than privatized insurance," says Doug Williams of Santa Rosa's Heritage Financial Services, which brokers insurance for businesses. "There are long waits for services, especially for specialized care. And the taxes are horrible in countries that have a single-payer system."
Long-term Care
Seniors also lack long-term care, a term that used to mean nursing care but now covers a variety of services, including in-home, mental health, physical therapy, and even food and shopping.
While it's difficult for older people to pay for medication out of pocket, it's nearly impossible to pay for long-term care.
Many people who need long-term care end up in nursing homes. While only 5 percent of the elderly live in nursing homes, 45 percent may spend some time there for various reasons, such as rehabilitation from surgery or to recuperate from a stroke.
In recent years, many nursing homes have come under criticism for abuse or neglect of the elderly. Some cities have begun policing nursing homes for this very reason. Redwood City just launched a program where local police make random checks in nursing homes to check for mistreatment. San Francisco may soon follow suit. The California HealthCare Foundation also created a database ranking the safest and best nursing homes in the area.
But the lack of long-term care is just part of the overall picture. In a time when one uninsured hospital stay can devastate a family financially, the need for healthcare reform is more important than ever. Ignoring prevention or not getting follow-up care is not only more painful to the patient, it's more costly to everyone involved.
Because many older people are ashamed of their situation and don't want to cause embarrassment to their families, they are reluctant to talk about their experiences with healthcare, which makes it hard to know how bad this problem really is.
"It's penny-wise, pound foolish to ignore this problem," says Zane. "We are so enamored with youth in this culture, we have to change the attitudes beneath the lack of care. Seniors need to get angry about this. They need to organize and stand up for their rights."

It was the show which brought the anarchic spirit of comic improvisation to TV audiences. Now 16 years after it was canned by Channel Four amid declining ratings Whose Line Is It Anyway? is being revived as a live show at this year's Edinburgh Fringe.
Original host Clive Anderson will be chairing proceedings whilst Greg Proops, Stephen Frost and Josie Lawrence are already said to be on board to provide the ad-libs for the 14-night run in the city's McEwan Hall venue in August.
Paul Merton and Phill Jupitus have also been in talks to appear in the new version, which is being retitled Whose Live Show Is It Anyway?
Anderson, who presents the BBC show Loose Ends from festival each year said he was talking to a number of old contestants, many of whom would be in Edinburgh with their own shows this summer. "Someone suggested doing a version of Whose Line Is It Anyway? and I couldn't really think of a good reason not to.
"We did film a lot of material for the TV show that never made it in, but it was all genuinely improvised from audience suggestions. The only thing that we faked at all was the running order of the games," he said.
The show originally started life on BBC4 radio featuring Stephen Fry and John Sessions but switched to Channel Four in 1988 where it enjoyed a 10-series run. Among those later to appear as guests were Sandi Toksvig, Tony Slattery and Caroline Quentin. The format proved popular in the United States where it was revived for television this year.

I appreciate all the anti-war demonstrations in Washington this past weekend. I really and honestly truly do. I can't possibly emphasize enough how grateful I am.
That's what makes it all the more awkward to say what I'm about to say.... And while original forms of protest are certainly to be encouraged, and while no one appreciates a topless woman more than I.... Well, there are sometimes lines that just shouldn't be crossed. And quite frankly, this photo is a perfect illustration of what I mean.
Let me first say that I have no problem with the chick holding the bullhorn. From what I can tell, she's a babe. And the one in the pink pants holding the near end of the banner looks okay, too.
But as for the other two.... Well.... How shall I put this delicately? PUT YOUR TOPS ON, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!!!!!! You're hideous!!!!! If i woke up one morning next to you, I'd have to gas myself!!!!!
Some things just shouldn't be seen without the benefit of a darkened bedroom.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.
Got it!I recently moved from Wisconsin to Minnesota and moved out early from previous apartment in Wisconsin. Two applications for apartments I applied for in Minnesota were denied due to errors from the Wisconsin apartment management company - plus, it has been over 21 days since I vacated the apartment and I have not received my security deposit. They did send a letter within 21 days notifying me that I owed a balance, also an error on their end which they acknowledged. As they made an error initially and further delayed the return of my deposit, am I still entitled to the initial 21 day window? Also, I was informed today they will not be sending until next week which means it will be even further over the 21 day window.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
If you breached the lease by moving out early, then the 21 day window begins when a new tenant moves into the premises. So, the landlord may still have the opportunity to return the security within 21 days.

The SF K Files is a place for parents who are seeking a school in San Francisco. The site offers up reviews of public, private and charter schools, as well as lots of advice and opinions from the community.
Thursday, September 25, 2008
Registration required
Generally, this has been the situation on the site (with some exceptions). But in recent weeks, the climate on The SF K Files has changed dramatically. The comments have become inappropriate and negative--and I don't have time to moderate these childish conversations.
I'm concerned about the next group of parents who are going through the process. I know that many of them are visiting this site--and I think we should be inspiring them rather them scaring them off. That said, I have decided to require commentors to register on the site. You will need to pick a username. It doesn't have to be your real name but it will be an identity. This will allow me to block people who are mean. My new mantra is "Don't be mean."
15 comments:
Good luck holding the line against the trolls. I've been running the sfschools yahoo group for eight years now, and taking an almost completely laissez faire approach. And I get a lot of feedback telling me that the list is too rough and too mean. It really does intimidate and turn off a lot of people. On the other hand, passions run hot for a reason. There is much to get angry and passionate about when it comes to our kids and their schools.
The list is what it is, and has "thrived" through the years in spite of the trolls -- so I'm not interested in changing my approach and trying to cultivate a more inclusive, less intimidating atmosphere.
But I think you are doing the right thing to nurture a more civil tenor here.Thanks Kate -- for what it's worth, I completely support your decision and considering what you've done for me personally - a mom who is trying to madly navigate my way in preparation for the lottery realities, I truly appreciate all of your efforts. The fact that you even started this blog in the first place and have managed to keep it going is greatly admired at the preschool water cooler discussions. I do agree that most posts as of late, though the topics are/could be really valuable, they have quickly spiraled and the original topic seems to go by the wayside. I really do appreciate hearing from the veteran parents, and hope that everyone out there knows that the feedback - hidden gems, fund raising, wait lists, all of it, is such a huge resource - just having access to this info.
anyways, just my 2 cents and a big thank you to you. 3 tours down...8 more to go. chin up!It isn't the list that is mean, it's a the posters--or rather a few posters.
I believe that registration will help. But I also believe that there are some tough issues about class and race that need to be discussed, and you have managed to provide a safe forum for that, however painful.
I also believe that it isn't our job to be only inspiring. I may be in a minority, but I don't think our schools are as great as they should be. Sometimes it takes getting angry before we 'inspire' people to take action.
I have appreciated this blog, learned more from it (the people who post) than I could have possibly researched on my own, nd feel apart of a bigger community.
Thank you, Kate.
Welcome to the new Kinder seekers.Sort of sad about the username, because rudeness is a small price to pay for the gut-honest content, which I think we'll never get if people have to use usernames.
I mean, the freaks will just register a bum name to make their flame, but I have to say, I'm an adult. Most people on this list are adult. We can handle mean people.- AnonymousSeptember 28, 2008 at 12:42 PM
Thank you, Kate, for your honest appraisal. I am a fairly new addition to this blog community but recently have stayed away because of the nature of the posts-- not so much because they were mean (though it's kind of sad that anonymity seems to foster the meanness, like it's easy to flip someone off from your car--chances are you don't know them & will never see them again or ever...) but more because every discussion was degenerating down into the same fruitless few. Happy to register if it helps people show a bit more restraint & consideration while they're hopefully still being candid & honest.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousSeptember 28, 2008 at 3:27 PM
It won't do any such thing. People can make up any name they want. What will happen is someone will get all offended about what someone else said, and they'll get that person banned. I don't like that environment. It's Kate's blog, she can do what she wants, but I think it's a slippery slope. Just my two cents.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousSeptember 29, 2008 at 12:08 AM
3:27, 12:42 here (is that anonymous...?)
I doubt that many will actually be banned. I don't get that control thing from Kate or this site but just that she's trying to make the tiniest barrier for the inappropriate--trolling & perhaps even some reckless blogging/writing. I've certainly noticed that people often don't realize the power of their words & tone in writing. Probably having to register won't change that, but maybe it (& this discussion?) can be a reminder that we're not here to swat each other down. - AnonymousSeptember 29, 2008 at 9:38 AM
If someone really wants to troll then they'll be able to regardless of required registration. Even if Kate tracks by IP addresses, there are plenty of ways to fake that, so someone just has to re-register. Takes about 60 seconds to do.
For the "regular" people it will just diminish information exchange. - AnonymousSeptember 29, 2008 at 11:16 AM
we're not here to swat each other down
not true! I will swat down any opinion that seeks to equate choosing a private school with moral turpitude and choosing a charter school with joining a vast right wing conspiracy. - AnonymousSeptember 29, 2008 at 2:50 PM
I would say that it's fine to swat down the opinion -- or rather, refute it with articulate and well-informed arguments -- but not to namecall and defame the individual who stated the opinion. It's the namecalling by anonymous attackers that makes this site so mean and angry, not the spirited discussion and debate. Why can't spirited discussion and debate go on between posters using a name, with a pseudonym being perfectly acceptable?

Stuck To The Goal To Rescue My Skin
Last year I resolved to wear mascara to work every day, lose 10 pounds, conquer my sweet tooth and to be more patient, less moody, and be more of an optimist.
I failed at every one.
Though I did lose a bit of weight, I doubt it was 10 pounds. My sweet tooth continues unabated. I am not patient. I am very moody. I am not an optimist. And every morning, when I had to choose between an extra minute of sleep or mascara? Sleep won. Every time. Wearing mascara is the easiest resolution. It takes 20 seconds to apply. I have mascara. I know how to use mascara. I just don't.
2009 will be different. 2009 is my year. 2009 is the year when I start wearing makeup to work, every day (uh, starting tomorrow.) 2009 is the year when I will become less "I don't care if the glass is half-empty, it's a stupid glass anyway and I never wanted it" and more glass half-full of wonderfulness. I will become toned; 2009 will be the year of visible abs. I will get insurance so that I can't use the expense as an excuse to avoid the dentist. I will be rid of my pityriasis rosea (soon! I would like to be rid of it soon!) I will continue to use "Let. Go." as my mantra in the hopes that it will make me more patient and less crazy (hey, you've got to dream big, right?) I will train Wolfgang to not pee in the house. I will train Stella to stop jumping up on people. I will save more money. I will buy less clothes, cds, books, alcohol, and brand-name ice cream. I will eat more vegetables. I will attempt to like beets. I will try to stop taking Shawn for granted. I will try to be more supportive of his stupid hobbies (which include washing his car, talking about his car, reading about cars on the internet, watching car videos on the internet and ordering random (expensive!) parts for his car.)
These are not resolutions; they are inevitable events.
Or maybe they're just blog fodder for next year's New Year's post.

Ok, well I can help you with the beets one very quickly--salad.
make a delightful chicken salad:
1 chicken breast boneless grilled then chopped into strips
2 hand-fulls of spinach
1/4 hand full of blue or goats cheese
2 strawberries quartered
1 beet steamed, then sliced thin into disks.
1 ring from an onion
raspberry vinaigrette
while your cooking the chicken, steam the beets, and then wash the spinach and strawberries.
chop the beets into slices, and place 3 of them about 1"-2" apart in a circle on your plate. take the spinach and then put that in the middle, take the strawberries mix them throughout--then drizzle on the cheese. chop up the chicken, and place 4 strips in a fan along the top, add a single onion ring and drizzle the vinaigrette along the outside.
you'll love it.
if you don't like the strawberries remove them.I hear ya on the dentist thing. I just hope your visit is better than mine!
I finally manned up and went yesterday. Only to discover I need two fillings. And 3 wisdom teeth out. Uncool.
And when you don't have health insurance, it's even more uncool (our health system is pretty different over here, but dental insurance is VERY expensive!)Last year I resolved to wash my face every night. I have no idea why, since I wasn't having any skin problems. The result after a week was skin that was so painful and dry, that it took the rest of the month to recover.
Now that I'm getting older, I've modified that resolution a little to wear sunscreen every day.I recently housesat for people who had Animal Planet on their tv, and I watched a LOT of dog training shows with Victoria Stillwell.
Here is how you train a dog to not jump on people. You have the person ring the bell. You get your dog to sit. You open the door, remind the dog to sit, (you can use treats for this if needed), and have the guest walk in.
Dog jumps, the person puts their hands up and backs away, then turns and walks out the door giving the dog no attention. You do this over and over. (no joke, like 30 times). Eventually your dog will understand not to jump and then she will get attention (and can have a treat for not jumping).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Eastern Orthodox Church, Aeiparthenos (Greek ἀειπάρθενος) is the title of the Theotokos which refers to the "Ever Virgin" Mary, mother of Jesus, thus affirming the doctrine of the Perpetual virginity of Mary.[1] The term is also used to refer to icons of Mary, as in the "Theotokos Aeiparthenos" icon.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (item 499) also includes to the term Aeiparthenos and referring to Lumen gentium item 57 states: "Christ's birth did not diminish his mother's virginal integrity but sanctified it."[2][3][4]
The term Aeiparthenos is attested to by Epiphanius of Salamis from early 4th century.[5]

He turned around and didn't see his best friend. He saw something completely different. I couldn't blame him nor could I understand quite how he was feeling. I'm sure part of him thought it was a joke, I would've had our roles been swapped. My first reaction would've been to laugh had my best friend stood before me in his sister's clothes, wearing a wig which had been used as part of a cross-dressing day at school for charity. He didn't, perhaps I should've given him more credit.
"What are you doing?" It was a reasonable question given the situation; however, I was unable to give a proper answer straight away.
"I don't know, this was stupid." I turned away to walk back up the stairs but was stopped by Mark shouting at me.
"Yeah, damn right it was. What the fuck were you thinking? Were you taking the piss out of me? You're such a dick."
"That's the last thing I was trying to do. Honestly. I was just trying to show you that I care."
"You have a funny way of doing it."
"I know, I'm sorry. I just thought that you needed someone else to care for. You and me we've- we've fallen apart. We barely know each other anymore."
"Damn right we do. The Tommy I grew up with would never have done this. Prick."
"The Timmy you grew up with would've done anything to help his best friend. That's what I'm doing now. You need someone who you can love, someone to put your dreams into. Why can't that person be me?"
"Because you're a dude. A dude in a miniskirt and high heels."
"But I love you." I didn't understand what was happening, sure I'd said I loved him loads of times, it was a running joke at school that we were in a bromance but this, this really meant something. I saw him about to say something and panicked. I managed to shut him up, but only by kissing him on the lips and not letting go. I braced myself for a punch, but nothing came. I latched on to his face and held my body as tightly to his as I could. I was out of control of both the situation and myself, I was watching my body doing things I couldn't comprehend. Suddenly I was shot back into the driver's seat, not by something I did, but by something that Mark did. He opened his mouth so that my hung already pinned against his face shot straight into him. His arms wrapped around my waist. His tongue met mine and they flickered about briefly, but passionately. Stupidly all I could think was "Oh I guess my plan worked." Probably because I was unable to grasp what was happening.
We stayed like that for god knows how long, entwined I suppose would be the right word. I pulled back and looked into his eyes. They weren't eyes I recognised. Well, maybe they were and it was just my perspective that had changed. They were Mark's eyes, but with a fire in them that I had only seen him use with other people. They were eyes of lust and desire. Once I had gotten over the alien aspect of them I saw their appeal. I saw what girls saw in Mark, what I now saw. Just like that, I was his.
"What do we do now?" My voice sounded timid but I meant what I said. I had no idea.
He kissed me again and then picked me up in his arms. He had never picked me up like this before, if he did so it would usually be to piledrive me. This time it was to show me that he was going to take care of me. He scooped me up supporting my legs with one arm and my upper body with his other. I had my arms wrapped around his neck and was able to still lean in and kiss him. He began to move up the stairs slowly. I pulled away again as I looked into his eyes for a second time and realised where this was leading, to his bedroom. It only just dawned on me that I was about to have sex with my best friend, but it didn't faze me in the slightest. Everything seemed so out of place and weird, but so naturally that I began to doubt everything I knew beforehand. Was this the way it should've been all along?
He kicked open the bedroom door and dropped me on the bed so that my legs landed either side of him. I knew he had done this plenty of times before with dozens of girls but I was new to this, and I doubted Mark had done anything exactly like this before. He pulled his shirt off, displaying an abdomen that I had seen plenty of times before but never admired. He removed his jeans so that he stood in just his boxers. He seemed to be waiting for me so I took my pink top off and threw it on the floor. He climbed on top of me and resumed the passionate kissing. He pulled my bare leg up and around his body so that I was pulling him into me. I could feel our solid cocks rubbing against each other and it felt great. His precum seeped through his boxers and smeared my legs.
I was worried that he'd had a change of heart when he broke away from me but it turned out that he was just changing position: he kneeled in between my legs and lifted up my skirt. He inched my panties across to the side and I saw a flicker across his face as he saw my 'pussy'. He stuck his fingers in my mouth and I sucked on them, flicking them about with my tongue. I'm sure I heard him groaned. Then it was my turn to groan as he pushed his salivated fingers into my pussy, one at a time, each one stretching it out further. It started very uncomfortably but as he had 3 fingers in the massaging feeling overtook me and my body arched, all my muscles clenched.
"You ready?" He whispered softly into my ear. I nodded and he pecked me on the cheek, before kneeling upright once again and moving his hips closer to mine. I felt him guiding his penis and rubbing it against my pussy. I wrapped my legs around him signalling that I couldn't wait any longer. He pried my ass cheeks apart and plunged his cock into my ass. It hurt like shit and I literally screamed out. He gave me a minute to recuperate before inching it in a little further. Every thrust bought the two of us closer together and the friendship which had defined my life was now consuming me. After an age had passed he leaned in and kissed me again, gently rocking his hips back and forth. This picked up until he was pulling his cock out and putting it all the way back in again. My insides were being ripped up and I was trembling under the pressure. I had ejaculated long ago but he kept pushing as cum dribbled down my legs. Suddenly, he stopped and started panting heavily. Then my ass lit on fire as he filled me.
We lay there gasping for air for some time afterwards, sweaty and covered in each other's juices. Eventually I spoke.
"So are we still friends?" He smiled and winked at me.
"Best friends."

Category: Computers-&-Solutions-Networking-Network-Attached-Storage-Drives, Drobo
Drobo iSCSI SAN storage is designed to provide reliable and high performance storage to servers running business critical applications like data protection, email, and server virtualization. It connects seamlessly to your existing TCP/IP network and utilizes the industry-standard iSCSI protocol to provide simple, consolidated storage for your servers.
The 8-bay cost effective B800i model is ideal for data protection or for small business building a SAN for the first time.
BeyondRAID Technology
An iSCSI Drobo can hold up to 24 TB of raw storage and beyond. To add capacity, simply insert a new hard drive or replace your smallest drive with a larger one, even when all drive bays are full. Unlike traditional RAID systems, the BeyondRAID technology in Drobo enables you to leverage different drive capacities, allowing for continuous expansion as larger drives become available. With Drobo, expansion is automatic, instantaneous, and access to data is always maintained.
Drobo can protect from single or dual drive failures and has a virtual hot spare capability ensuring all drives are used at all times.
Optimizing Business Applications
Like with business applications, Drobo is ideal for building your first server virtualization cluster and had been certified for VMware vSphere and Citrix Xen Server environments.
Drobo is also a cost effective way to provide reliable storage for your backup server and has been certified for use with Symantec Backup Exec.
About iSCSI SANs
iSCSI can be used to connect storage directly to servers using a high-speed connection, or it can be used to create a Storage Area Network (SAN) with to 2, 5, or 10 plus servers.
With an iSCSI SAN, centralized storage is provided to each server over a high-speed network and storage can be allocated or expanded instantaneously. Also, any single server does not tie up free space and there are fewer storage devices to maintain.
All Drobos have carrier-less drive insertion. This means there are no special parts or screws that have to be added to the drives before they are inserted. It's like inserting a cassette tape into a video recorder.
The modular design of the B1200i model delivers enhanced availability and serviceability for environments hosting business-critical applications. This allows fans and power supplies to be replaced without taking the Drobo down.
While both Drobo SAN storage models can be rack mounted, the Drobo model B800i is compact and quiet, making it ideal for workgroup environments that need storage located in an office or on a desk.
Even the faceplate is magnetic, with the manual on the back. Primary management is by using drive status lights and visual capacity gauge.
And, all Drobos look good too!
Most modern storage arrays aggregate disks and prevent against single drive failures using a 20-year-old technology called RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks). While RAID has served many businesses well, it requires up-front knowledge of its functionality and has many shortcomings. BeyondRAID technology, built into every Drobo, addresses these shortcomings and makes virtualizing disk drives usable by everyone. BeyondRAID provides these enhancements over traditional RAID:
* Thin Provisioning as a fundamental capability allows for infinite capacity expansion by just replacing a drive with a larger one
* Instant Expansion occurs when a new, or larger, drive is inserted without any disruption in service
* Drobo's volumes are Smart Volumes, pulling needed storage from a common pool and then returning deleted blocks back to the common pool
* Mixed Drive Utilization allows you to insert any drive, of any size, or any type, and Drobo will optimally use it - check out our interactive Capacity Calculator
* Automatic Protection Levels ensures the best algorithm is used to protect from drive failure depending on the number of drives that are inserted without any user configuration
* Dual Disk Redundancy enhances BeyondRAID protection by guarding from multiple drive failures
* Virtual Hot Spare utilizes all drives at all time - no drives sitting idle waiting for one to fail
* Drobos are Data Aware, intelligently handling data for added resiliency, performance, and management
* Drive Re-ordering allows Drobo disk packs to be moved to another Drobo, and even re-ordered, while still functioning - try that with RAID
* 2 x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports
* USB 2.0 port for management
* 8 drive bays
* 3.5 Inch SATA 1 / SATA II drives
* Expandable by hot-swapping drives with larger ones. Use our capacity calculator to estimate available storage in various configurations. Go to Capacity Calculator.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - White House hopefuls Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin lead a narrower field of potential rivals for the 2012 Republican Party presidential nomination, according to a poll released on Thursday.
The Gallup survey is the organization's first since Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and real estate mogul Donald Trump opted out of the slowly evolving primary race.
Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and so far the apparent front-runner, led Palin by 17 percent to 15 percent, well within the poll's 4 percentage points margin of error. Texas Representative Ron Paul ranked third at 10 percent.
But the survey of 971 Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said 22 percent of respondents had no preference.
Neither Romney nor Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee and a former Alaska governor, has formally announced plans for the 2012 campaign.
"Romney's and Palin's status at the top of the field is owing in large part to their high name identification among rank-and-file Republicans," Gallup said.
The current make-up of the Republican field has caused concern among top party officials who fear that none would be likely to defeat Democratic incumbent President Barack Obama in a general election.
Some Republicans had tried to persuade Daniels to join the race, saying he would bring budget-cutting credibility from his record as a governor. But Daniels, who served as White House budget director under President George W. Bush, announced last weekend that he would not run.
Gallup said Daniels was initially included in the May 20-24 survey but was removed after his announcement on May 22.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Texas Governor Rick Perry and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush are on a wish list of potential candidates for unhappy Republicans.
Two candidates who have formally announced their intentions -- former House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty -- trailed far behind Romney and Palin.
Gingrich, whose candidacy had a rocky start after he criticized House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan's Republican Medicare reform plan, ranked fourth at 9 percent with Pawlenty in sixth at 6 percent.
Pawlenty was bested by former pizza executive Herman Cain, who came in fifth at 8 percent.

Less than a week after the King of the Hammers off-road race in
Johnson Valley, the U.S. Navy on Wednesday issued its decision on a
proposed expansion of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in
Twentynine Palms that could put a brake the popular event as well as all
off-roading in the high desert.The
official record of decision, which Marine officials said will be
available online today, endorses a plan that would give the Corps more
than half the 188,000 acres of public off-roading area located about 20
miles north of Yucca Valley. Bumping up on the western boundary of the
base, the land is now under the protection of the U.S. Bureau of Land
Management. As outlined in a previous environmental impact report released in
July, 108,530 acres of the valley would be permanently closed to
off-roaders and used instead for training exercises involving thousands
of Marines, along with tanks, helicopters and live ammunition.An
additional 38,137 acres — including the valley's world-famous
rock-crawling trails, known as the Hammers — would become a "dual-use"
area, available to off-roaders for 10 months a year. The Marines would
use the area for training exercises for the other two months, but would
not use live ammunition, the report said. The proposed expansion would also include 21,304 acres directly southeast of the existing Marine base.Marine
officials have said they need the extra land for training exercises
that are critical for the Corps' post-Middle East role as a
slimmed-down, rapid-response force...more
According to the 2012 DoD Base Structure Report, the DoD owns or controls over 28 million acres of land. Don't tell me they don't already have enough to practice on, with much to spare.
And any ranchers or rural landowners out there who have been supporting our interventions in the Middle East might want to reconsider that support.
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.

Du Plessis certainly looks more confident than AB.
Du Plessis certainly looks more confident than AB.
Turns out that the majority of games here have been won chasing but the sun is out and the conditions are conducive to batting so NZ should post a good total. du Plessis said 260 was about par. In oz batting under lights can be tough but in some places there is a dew factor at night.
MrPrez is hiding on CricSim
Slow going here. Guptill certainly hasn't had a tour to remember.
1.84 per over in the 11th over, we probably need to lift it a tad here.
Painful to watch for a one day game. Kiwis better step it up.
They're better to just drop it down and run ffs as opposed playing million dollar shots straight to the fielders.
If they just bowl at leg stump Williamson's got no chance. Going way too far across.
Dire one day batting on what looks like a perfectly good wicket. Can believe how often they hit straight to fielders in that partnership.

The Government should act as a guarantor to the proposed Pension Protection Fund, to give employees a greater sense of security, the chairman of Unilever UK will tell the CBI/Mercer pension conference today.
Richard Greenhalgh, who also chairs the CBI's Pension Strategy Group, will press the Government for a "radical rethink" of its plans to provide members of company pension schemes with a financial safety net. It wants the Government to spread the costs and risk of the PPF, as the burden currently falls entirely on firms.
The CBI is concerned that strong companies and pension schemes will be subsidising weaker ones under the proposed fund, and wants the Government to consider ways to effectively measure the risk of company or pension scheme insolvency. The CBI also wants employers to have the option of charging scheme members by deducting money from pensions or pay.
The Government's pension plans have been widely criticised, not least the controversial plan to cap pension funds at £1.4m, with any amount above this taxed at 60pc. Tony Blair and Gordon Brown are thought to be in dispute on this issue, after Mr Blair met with captains of industry who implored the Government to think again.
Although the Treasury insisted yesterday that its position "has not changed at all", it is thought the spat has delayed the announcement on the simplification of the pensions tax regime. There is no set date for the announcement, but it may come with the Chancellor's Pre-budget Report.
Companies have been forced to make up "at least £3 billion a year" taken out of pension funds by Gordon Brown's abolition of the dividend tax credit in 1997, Mr Greenhalgh will say. The PPF would further increase costs for employers by about £350m a year.
Mr Greenhalgh will say: "That's another big hit. Don't get me wrong. Business shares the Government's concern about individuals receiving only a fraction of their pension entitlement when their employer goes insolvent with an underfunded scheme.
"That is why the CBI accepts the principle of the fund, but as so often, the devil is in the detail. We are concerned that the PPF will not deliver increased security at an acceptable cost. In particular, the entire cost burden is being placed on employers while the Government refuses to share any risk."
The validity of the scheme as a whole is in question, as America's version of the proposed PPF currently has an £8.8 billion deficit. The CBI's own research shows that the aggregate pension fund deficit for FTSE 100 companies is close to £100 billion. It estimates that total additional pension payments will rise from £8 billion in 2003, to £12 billion in 2004 and £16 billion in 2005.
Mr Greenhalgh claims that "employers are not the villains of the piece", and accusations that businesses are no longer committed to pensions are "unfair, but they have damaged corporate reputations".
However, the TUC general secretary, Brendan Barber, said: "The CBI is crying crocodile tears. Let's not forget it was employers who took pensions holidays and didn't pay in when times were good, and employers who have been retreating from their pension obligations, closing decent schemes, reducing their contributions, shifting the burden to their employees and leaving many workers high and dry." The Government is expected to make a pensions announcement in the House of Lords today.

Hello folks this is the project that has had me busy for the past couple of weeks as they are very difficult to paint.I thought 28mm Fallschirmjäger were hard......well think again Ladies and Gentlemen!I spent quite a bit of time pulling my hair,gnashing my teeth and cursing enough to make Blackbeard blush!That said I am pleased with the end result and that in itself gives you more motivation to do some more.
These are 15mm Fallschirmjäger and are based on the same unit as my 28mm Fallschirmjäger only for Flames of War.So the background is exactly the same if you want to read again up on their history.
I also painted them similar and again took some artistic license by adding Luftwaffe blue pants and helmets here and there along with Splinter pattern,Marsh pattern and the standard German Field gray.However,this time I left off the Tropical pants.Some have gaiters and others do not as was typical of late war Fallschirmjäger units.
Some of you may have noticed I also painted up a weapons canister which by this time they were no longer doing active para jumps,but I included one as it both adds to the atmosphere of being Fallschirmäjer and for a sense of completeness.
Of course I didn't take the highlights as far as my 28mm as they are quite a bit smaller,but I still did add some for depth.Painting the drops was quite tricky,but I'm happy how it turned out.I also experimented on the metal on the weapon's by painting it in a gun metal gray that I'm very happy with and will continue to do.I've gone a bit crazy with the pics and I hope you will forgive the indulgence,but it took me forever to do and I'm feeling a bit happy at the end result.I'll be adding more to this army later,but now I have to paint up a few 28mm Japanese I promised to do.
Note on the base:The pictures are a bit brighter then real life where the models blend in more.I did this to get get a better contrast between the ground and the figures.The result is a base that looks more reddish then it actually is,although it does have a brown reddish tinge to it just not as intense.Miniature Company-Battle Front

Washer fills, won't agitate or drain, hums
Model Number: WTW5790VQ2 Brand: Whirlpool Age: 1 - 5 years
I have a Whirlpool top load washer that quit working in the middle of a load. It will fill, but will not agitate or drain. It makes a humming sound which stops when you lift the lid, so I'm fairly certain it's not the lid switch. When it quit working, the motor felt quite warm a couple hours after it had stopped, and there was a small amount of water leaking from underneath the machine. I replaced the coupling today in case that was the problem, but the old one didn't look damaged (I didn't want to take it apart until I had the replacement part) and replacing it didn't help. What do you suggest? Related Models |

Sounds like maybe something caught in the pump preventing the motor from spinning. Remove the cabinet and jump out the lid switch, release the clips on the pump and pull it off the motor (leave hoses connected). Try running it with pump out of the way.

No need to remove the hoses at this point. If the motor still won't run with the pump removed, the pump is not the problem. There are other tests to make before condeming the motor if the pump isn't the problem.

While data governance has been a business need for years, it is becoming more visible as a center-stage business concern. Driving this shift are new regulations and new requirements addressing consumer data ownership, privacy, and business data monetization. Two of the most important regulations are the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision regulation 239 (BCBS 239). Forrester recognized this change three years ago when we described the evolution of data governance away from "data input quality" toward "data usage," which we call data governance 2.0. Some emerging data governance solution vendors, like Collibra and GDE, have moved aggressively to address the new requirements of data governance 2.0. However, larger established vendors like IBM, Informatica, SAS, and SAP have moved more slowly, instead prioritizing investments in developing a platform supporting systems of insight.
Two recently announced acquisitions demonstrate that the larger established vendors now recognize the need for renewed data governance offerings:
- Informatica's purchase of the Diaku Axon platform. Announced on February 22, the acquisition of the Diaku Axon platform adds business-oriented capabilities like vertical knowledge (finance) and support of regulations such as GDPR and BCBS 239 to Informatica's current data governance execution capabilities (DQ, MDM, security/masking).

Causes of Drug Addiction are many including:
- Crime
- Unhappiness- Divorce
- Major sickness/illness
- Death of a loved one
What are the underlying causes of drug addiction?
When we take drugs, either for medical purposes or recreation, there is a benefit or reward that we are trying to achieve.
For example pain medication is intended to bring relief to an injured or stressed area of our body. The beginning stages of addiction us to crave more and to use more. The unintended consequences of that is our need to take more and more of the drug to get the same result.
Causes of Drug Addiction: In addition the pathways inside the brain to be altered, physical changes in the nerve cells are brought on by the drug. These neurons communicate with each other releasing neurotransmitters into the gaps or synapses between the nerve cells. This makes some drugs much more addictive than others.
There are several other factors that contribute to drug addiction. We'll go into greater detail on another page, but for now the major factors are one's genetic makeup, personality and peer pressure. Again we'll explain these as we go along.
What Are The Factors?
We are all a product of our parents. If your parents have addiction struggles, chances are you are more susceptible to addiction. That's why drug addiction is more common in some families than in others. If your parents smoke, chances are good you will smoke. If your parents used alcohol, you'll probably follow and use that drug in much the same way. If your father was an alcoholic, you have a predisposition to addiction that drug.
Causes of Drug Addiction one generation passes it on to the next.
Certain Personality Types
Aside from the inherited factors, some people have a personality that is more likely to become drug dependent.
- People are curious, so that alone can lead a person to try a drug. We experiment and see what happens.
- We are looking to relax and have pleasure.
- We all want to feel good, and we're by nature impatient. Drugs give us an instant gratification that other things do not, so for that moment or hour of for whatever time frame, we feel good.
- We want what we want.
- Someone diagnosed with depression, attention deficit disorder, or hyperactivity.
- Maybe there has been some stress, or anxiety in their life. Whatever the case, these are contributing factors.
Even some common personality characteristics, such as aggression, may be a factor. Children who do not have confidence, healthy self-esteem may be prone to turning to drugs to fill the void.
Causes of Drug Addiction: Addiction does cause negative changes in personality that can lead to an even more destructive behavior.
Social Pressure/Peer Pressure
We're all wired to have relationships, and sometimes those relationships cause us to give in to something we otherwise would avoid in order to maintain the relationship. Social/Peer pressure is huge and nowhere is this greater than during our teenage years. Kids want to be cool. It begins as a social action, to take the drugs to be a part of the group, to be accepted. It's not just teenagers, as peer pressure takes so many different forms. There is social etiquette, for example, to take a drink during a party. "I'm only a social drinker." How many times have you heard that? Some people actually believe that Addiction will help you to be accepted and part of the 'popular' group.
If you want to get drugs, you won't have to look far because they are everywhere. High school students can tell you this. Causes of Drug Addiction: sadly, people to sell drugs to the most vulnerable population, children. It's not just the stereotypical poor sections of the inner city that serve as the hotbed for drugs. Drugs are found in shopping malls, rural schools, private school, on the job in factories, offices and remote job sites.
Race and/or Ethnicity
We include this heading because we want to stress that there is no data to support any claim that one race of people or any particular cultural group is more prone to drug addiction than another. Drug addiction is a human problem and crosses all boundaries. Causes of Drug Addiction do not include race.
We want to feel good physically and emotionally. Sometimes drugs are the substitution for a healthy life experience. The person in pain and they want to numb the pain. The drug numbs the pain and for a moment they don't feel as poorly. The person needs to escape the pain of the life experience, and for a short while, the drug takes them away and they feel "better."
Severe Anxiety
Sometimes people need some help coping with life. Everyday life becomes a struggle and simple things become too much to handle. Drugs are used to deal with it. In the case of addiction, we are not talking about the use of medication, under the care and observation of a doctor. People who have been clinically diagnosed with anxiety can lead a very good life. We're talking here about people who just need to escape. Their drug of choice facilitates that escape.
That completes our section on Causes of Drug Addiction, visit our home page for more information.
and Finally Remember:
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."

No one was killed in the attacks on two businesses in the north Antrim towns of Ballymoney and Ballycastle, but the use of incendiary devices served as a reminder that such weapons still pose a threat.
The planting of the devices came during the trial of a man for the murder of three children, the Quinn brothers, who died in a firebomb attack on a Ballymoney house during loyalist disturbances in July 1998.
The hearing of evidence ended with the judge reserving judgement yesterday. The court heard allegations that members of the illegal Ulster Volunteer Force, had planned the attack.
The Rev Ian Paisley, the local MP, condemned the recent incidents but said people should not rush to ascribe blame. However, Sean Farren, local representative of the nationalist SDLP, said he suspected loyalists of responsibility.
One of the firebombs was left at the offices of a Catholic Credit Union in Ballymoney, where it was discovered by staff and carried outside. Another was left at a newly-opened pine furniture shop in Ballycastle.
Over the past year loyalists have carried out scores of similar attacks on businesses and homes in many parts of Northern Ireland.
Although not normally lethal, they often have the effect of localised ethnic cleansing, pushing Catholics to move house or transfer their businesses. Most of the attacks are motivated by straight sectarianism, though sometimes they turn out to be due to personal differences or grudges.

Richard Perle
"Whatever your goal in life might be, don't take no for an answer. When you take no for an answer you won't get what you want to achieve. So, DON'T GIVE UP or lose HOPE! Even when it seems like you're going up against the odds. It's time to open your eyes, and notice.You are almost there, DON'T let YOUR pain and YOUR struggles, blur your vision. Keep that dream alive, for it is yours and only you can achieve it and bring it to life."

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Saleburay Early OriginsThe surname Saleburay was first found in Wiltshire at Salisbury, a cathedral city that dates back to c. 900 when it was listed as Searobyrg. Over one hundred years later, the Domesday Book lists the place name as Sarisberie, much closer phonetically to today's name. The place name literally means "stronghold at Sorvio, " from the Old English words burgh + the Celtic name Sorviodunum. [1]CITATION[CLOSE] Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4) Salisbury Cathedral is one of the most famous cathedrals in Britain; its spire can be seen for miles. Moreover, it is now home to pages from the Magna Carta which is on public display. "Edward de Sarisberie, sometimes called Edward Vicecomes was a great tenant in chief in Wiltshire and other counties, at the making of the Domesday [Book]. He was a younger son of Walter de Evreux (Devereux) one of the few instances in those early times of a Norman family with a Saxon name. " [2]CITATION[CLOSE] Lowe, Mark Anthony, Patronymica Britannica, A Dictionary of Family Names of the United Kingdom. London: John Russel Smith, 1860. Print. Saleburay Spelling VariationsSaleburay Spelling VariationsBefore the last few hundred years the English language had no fixed system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations occurred commonly in Anglo Norman surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Saleburay were recorded, including Salisbury, Salesbury, Sallsbury, Salusbury and many more. Saleburay Early HistorySaleburay Early HistoryThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Saleburay research. Another 211 words (15 lines of text) covering the years 1066, 1580, 1660, 1621, 1622, 1612, 1643, 1684, 1661, 1685, 1685, 1626, 1640, 1643 and 1640 are included under the topic Early Saleburay History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.

Another 35 words (2 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationThe unstable environment in England at this time caused numerous families to board ships and leave in search of opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad in places like Ireland, Australia, and particularly the New World. The voyage was extremely difficult, however, and only taken at great expense. The cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels caused many to arrive diseased and starving, not to mention destitute from the enormous cost. Still opportunity in the emerging nations of Canada and the United States was far greater than at home and many went on to make important contributions to the cultures of their adopted countries. An examination of many early immigration records reveals that people bearing the name Saleburay arrived in North America very early: Robert and David Salisbury settled in Virginia in 1654; Roger Salisbury settled in Virginia in 1638; Richard Salisbury settled in Maryland in 1684; William Salisbury settled in Virginia in 1623.

A Huge THANK YOU and a Fond Farewell to Claire Wolff
Today is Claire Wolff's last day on our staff as Community Engagement Specialist at Old North St. Louis Restoration Group. Although we are very sorry to lose her, we are thrilled that she'll still be in the neighborhood as a resident (and she has promised to put in some volunteer time with us!) - and we're happy to know that she won't be far away as she takes on her new duties as Grace Hill's new Director of Community Development.
We really can't say enough about how much Claire has contributed to the work of ONSLRG over the past two-and-a-half years - most importantly, the great outcomes achieved through her efforts. We do have a lot of grant reports that spell this out, but there just isn't enough space here for a comprehensive list. And, since we're heading out for one last staff gathering to bid her farewell and good luck on her new endeavors, we'll consider this post to be just part 1 of our goodbye post. Watch this space for an update later when we have time to fill in more detail and add more photos.
In the meantime, please join us in celebrating Claire's work with us - and if you see her, tell her thank you for making Old North a better for all!

BRUSSELS (Reuter) - Belgium's parliament yesterday approved by just two votes a sweeping state reform which will lead the country into a new federal era, further separating Dutch-speaking Flanders and French-speaking Wallonia. The coalition government mustered 144 votes - only two more than the two-thirds majority of 142 required - to amend the first article of the Belgian constitution. The new deal grants more autonomy to Flanders in the north and Wallonia in the south.
