Cisterns and Draw Wells of the German Colony of
Lustforf, Liebental Enclave, South Russia
By Vadim Vasilenko, Odessa, Ukraine
From the very beginning Odessa was settled by representatives of different nationalities. Different ethnic groups have been living here for centuries. We offer to your attention an article written by Odessa ethnographers K.Burnusus and V.Vasilenko, describing the traditional cisterns and draw-wells of the German village Lustdorf, located in the outskirts of the present-day Odessa.
While choosing locations for future Black Sea German colonies in the first half of the XIX-th century, it was important to find the source of water supply; other things that mattered were: the depth of the water bedding, the distance from the water source to the colony, etc. The ideal situation was usually when the colony was situated on a river bank. But the colonies were not always situated near a river, and some rivers "carried little water in the summer or dried up completely" (Karl Stumpp, The German-Russians: Two Centuries of Pioneering, Lincoln, Nebraska, 1993)
Almost in all colonies of the South of Ukraine the water-bearing stratum often lay at a big depth: from 10 to 55 metres. Very often the water was bitter and salty and the colonists gave it to drink only to cattle or used it in the household.
As for Odessa and the vicinity located around the city, we can mention here that there were no rivers, lakes or any adequate sources of water supply nearby. As to the local subterranean water pans, "they were considerably mineralized and hardly fit for human consumption" (G.Bass, Odessa Water Pipeline: 100 years of Existence", Odessa, 1973). Thus, it was not easy to obtain good drinking water. In search of water the colonists dug deep wells in their yards. It was quite often when a well with good drinking water was made for several households, sometimes one draw-well was dug for the whole village. The draw-well consisted of a wooden casing, a small shed, a rope or a chain, a drum and a pail. In villages located near the colonies or in the colonies German settlers used sweep wells (shadoof wells) called "Schwengel". The same name was given to a long post with a rope, tied to a bucket, with the help of which water was lifted up.
In the Historical Chronicle of Lustdorf, written in 1850 by H. Burkle, sexton, and the village Mayor Kurz, it was noted that Lustdorf, which was located in the steppes by Odessa, had no water reservoirs nearby. The valley, in which the colony was situated, was crossed by a few dales. After melting of the snow or abundant rains water swiftly rushed from the small dales into the larger valley, forming for a long time a lake in the western part of the colony, which was separated from the sea by a small sandy strip. Sometimes during a strong storm the sea water surged over this strip into the valley, mixing up with the water of the lake and thus increasing its size. In summer the lake dried out, leaving behind a thin deposit of salt on its bottom. In this valley colonists built three balance-beam wells, which initially provided the colony with sufficient quantity of water. However "during the strong earthquake of 1838 the water in the well, which was the nearest to the sea became somewhat salty" and unfit for drinking and hardly usable for washing. In the other two balance-beam wells the water remained good for drinking, but in winter it was hard to haul water to the village because of ice snow or the mud. Afterwards only one balance-beam well remained in the valley. This well's water was used by the local collective farm for watering cattle. In Lustdorf itself wells were not dug as the water was salty and bitter and lay very deeply.
The problem of water supply was considerably decreased in the 20-ies of the 19-th century through utilization of cemented cisterns - special underground reservoirs, the vault, walls and bottom of which were made of stone or bricks and covered inside with Puzzolan cement. The cisterns were filled with either "sweet" drinking water brought from outside, or filtered rain water.
The inhabitants of Lustdorf used also the water of the spring, which was located in Bolshoy Fontan Area (Big Fountain) in the place which got the name "Dacha Kovalyevskogo" later, and which used to belong to Lustdorf for a long time. The colonists filled their cisterns with water brought from this spring as well as with rain water.
Rain water was collected by the villagers by means of storm-down pipes, fixed to the roofs of their houses. Dirty rain water was diverted by a special device and drained outside. The rain and thawed snow water ran from the roofs through ceramic pipes, underground water ducts and finally through coal and gravel filters. They took out water from these cisterns by cylindrical pulleys - metallic roller drums. These pulleys were forged by local smiths with great skill. The walls of the cisterns were cemented with trass cement. A marble enclosure in the shape of a big jug was provided on the ground level; it was called "a jug", "a pot" (by Russians) or "tsebrinya" (by Ukrainians). The water from the cisterns was used for cooking and with the water from the balance-beam well, located in the valley, they watered the animals, it was also used for household needs.
Besides cemented cisterns (outside and inside), which one could find in practically every yard, there were several dozens ofjug-like marble ones and two three cast-iron ones in Lustdorf. Even now when the pressure in the pipeline drops in summer, the inhabitants of Lustdorf use cemented cisterns for storing water.
At present not so many marble cisterns and two cast-iron ones are left in Lustdorf, very few of them are still used. But even now you can see for yourself with what skill they were built, you can admire their shape and the decorative pattern in the centre in the form of a broken line, a zigzag, a wheat-ear, a herring-bone or a wave; they are distinguished by the shape of the cylindrical pulley and the metal frame of an original form on the top. The drum is usually 20- 31 cm wide, its length being 40 - 60 cm. The inner diameter of the "jug" is 45 - 65 cm, the outer diameter is 50 - 70 cm. The height of the "jug" is from 50 cm to 150 cm. The depth of a cistern is 9 - 12 metres.
The draw-wells and cisterns of Lustdorf present original, distinctive examples of the material culture of the Black Sea Area Germans, and those specimens which have survived, must be preserved and taken care of.

aput said, "f-word: I thought the first printed occurrence was in Dunbar's The Flyting of Dunbar and Kennedy (1508): "wan fukkit funling". Of course this was technically in Scots so you could say it wasn't in English, though I claim it as such."
Typo, aput? OED gives as appearance in "about 1503". Of course, if one were to check earlier publications for possible usage, the most-fertile types of publications are perhaps the types to which OED's researchers would not be giving high priority.
How odd that OED says "intr. To copulate. trans. (rarely used with female subject.) To copulate with; to have sexual connection with." I'd disagree with the part I've put in red.This message has been edited. Last edited by: shufitz,
I'm not so sure, shu. It ties in with the cultural idea that the male is active during sex while the female is passive: the man f***s; the woman is f***ed.
(Particularly if he gets her pregnant then leaves).
I have heard young girls use the word in the same way as young men do.
That, and their propensity to talk about the topic loudly in public (which is how I know that's what they say) seems to be quite a modern development.
And Cat, I am sorry to spoil your young innocence, but I can assure you, from my personal experience, that passivity is not an invariable female trait!

Just out of curiousity, what word did they use before 1503?

Now, that's not bad at all!
Hm, I'm not sure. It looks like Dunbar has both the first recorded use (1503: Be his feiris he wald haue fukkit) and the first printed use (1508, in the Flyting).
Hm, I'm not sure.
You're not suggesting that Dunbar coined the word, are you?
... "swivel" ...
On the first morning of the honeymoon the bridegroom is shopping through the TV movie menu. She hears him ask, "Do you want to see Oliver Twist?"
"Might as well," she says, "You've made him do every other trick I ever heard of."
[This ramification of the swivel concept has not yet been filtered ... ]
So how did swiven become swivel and change its meaning?

~Dalai Lama
So how did swiven become swivel and change its meaning?
Swivel, the noun, is derived from the OE verb swífan 'to couple, have intercourse' > ME swiven. The -l is probably a diminutive suffix. The -en in the verb was the infinitival desinence. A swivel is a coupling device; doesn't seem to great a stretch of the imagination ...
|<Asa Lovejoy>
So does it follow that "screw," as used to mean to have intercourse with derives from the same source?
|<Asa Lovejoy>
So does it follow that "screw,"
Sounds good to me. Was there a doubt?
quote:Actually, no: my research indicates that they are not precisely synonymous.
As I understand it, older English had two separate transitive verbs, depending on whether the sentence was "He ________s her," or "She ________s him." In the former case the verb would be "to swive"; in the latter case it would be "to quim". [I put the latter in white, on the understanding that in today's british slang it is still used as a noun and is extremely offensive.] The modern verb, of course, can be used in either way, and is not specific to either partner's point of view.
my research indicates that they are not precisely synonymous.
Curious, I've not heard this idea before. Do you have any references you could point me at?
I, too, can attest to that . . . but I believe that Cat is referring to the cultural myth that women are always taken. Now, I think it would be interesting to figure out which cultures promoted that myth and which boldly denounced it.

but I believe that Cat is referring to the cultural myth that women are always taken.
That's how I understood her sentence.
quote:Here's what I have. They are secondary sources only, since I can't find much Middle English on the net, but at least I have more than one source. Not proof, of course, but suggestive.
1. Apparently John Money noted the distinction in To Quim And To Swive - Linguistic And Coital Parity, Male And Female, 1982 Journal Of Sex Research 18(2):173-176. The article is referenced here (scroll down the left column to item 581). I don't have the full text of that article, but this site explains Money thus:
"Really? Neither to quim nor to swive?"
"both of which are valid english words. even if swive is quite obsolete except in dialect. though they don't mean the same thing in english."
"Yes. Both valid, both archaic as verbs. In the sense that each verb is gender specific, you are correct to distinguish difference between them - but they do indeed "mean" to the same thing (application of one or the other differ depends upon who's doing the thing)."
These should be "swive," and "quim," which are obsolete early English. Men would "swive" women, whereas women would "quim" men. Both verb forms for coitus are active and are not indicative of a power imbalance relationship between the sexes engaging in this activity.
Thanks, wordnerd, for the references. It is not clear to me from the above quote that what Money is doing is describing how swive and quim (which is a noun for the female pudend) were used rather than his suggested normative usage. I'll try to find the article and get back to you.
Partridge suggests that quimming for sexual intercourse is a 19th century usage. Hardly Middle English.
I looked in my Old English dictionary and find that swifan meant 'to come to course' and our word swift is from the past particple. No mention of its sexual use. Nothing sexual under cwim either, except that it's a variation of comen whence our to come; it's related to Skt gam. 'to go', Latin venio 'to come', and Gothic qiman 'to come'. The use of the verb for come as a synonym for the climax of sexual intercourse is found in Hittite (don't have the word at hand).
Anyway, I'm still sceptical, but will reserve further opinion until I've read Money's article.
Does this thread remind anyone else of that well-known preoccupation of schoolboys: looking up the dirty words in a dictionary?
Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
Does this thread remind anyone else of that well-known preoccupation of schoolboys: looking up the dirty words in a dictionary?
At least it involves looking up words and discussing them, rather than some of the other non-curricular (polling) activities on the board. Sheesh, I blush.
Maybe in YOUR day it was just the boys . . . but I distinctly remember looking up dirty words with my girlfriends (of course, I was very sheltered, we didn't do it til college).

IMHO, words aren't "dirty" unless they are so in the minds of those who proscribe them, and then they're only dirty to them. Hey, if Dick Cheney can tell someone to "fuck off," we've come (pun not intended) a long way!
we've come (pun not intended) a long way!
Too bad nobody told the FCC.
I find it seriously annoying that the word-in-question is ultimately "origin unknown".
As to 'swive', jheem: I'd thought to check old usages, but could think of one Middle English text that would be on-line. The word appears five times in The Canterbury Tales.
Thus swived was the carpentere's wife (Miller's tale)
"For, John," said he, "as ever may I thrive,
If that I may, yon wenche will I swive" (Reeve's tale)
a compere of his owen sort, / That loved dice, and riot, and disport;
And had a wife, that held for countenance [appearances]
A shop, and swived for her sustenance. (Cook's Tale)
God give you both one shame's death to dien!
He swived thee; I saw it with mine eyen. (Merchant's tale)
With one of little reputation, thou art befooled / Not worth to thee, as in comparison,
The mountance of a gnat, so may I thrive; [value]
For on thy bed thy wife I saw him swive. (Manciple's tale)
Is the word "quiff" related at all to "quim?" One meaning of "quiff" is "a woman regarded as promiscuous," though the AHD says the etymology is unknown. My logophile friend says that "quiff" used to be one of the less common synonyms for female pudenda. He encountered it in a novel (though he couldn't remember which one) with a British high society woman who had to reconcile mild nymphomania with her ultra proper pose. Her name was 'Lady Quivering-Quiff'.
Does anyone recognize this novel?
And had a wife, that held for countenance
A shop, and swived for her sustenance.
Thanks for the usages from Chaucer. We see here one example of a woman doing the swiving. So it seems that swive's subject is not restricted to males.
K., Partridge has three entries for quiff (summarized here): (1) a satisfactory result, spec. an end obtained by means not strictly conventional; (2) to copulate; (3) smartly dressed.
Of the second meaning, he gives a range of 18-20 C. Origin of all three is problematic.
Seems to me like the first and second definitions are very closely related.

quote:Agreed; that's why I posted it. Still, with only one case I'd be interested in further research. Any ideas where to find usage-examples from the period?
Still, with only one case I'd be interested in further research.
I wasn't saying that a distinction lexically between men doing it and women doing it cannot be possible. (In fact, we've gone over how Latin distinguishes between active and passive oral sex lexically.) I just thought that Money was suggesting a new word usage, not reporting the meanings of a couple of Middle English words for sexual intercourse. It would probably mean a trip to the University library to look at a large Middle English dictionary or some concordances of Middle English literature.
"a large Middle English dictionary"
in this particular case, size matters

Yes, I'll need one with citations to support the various definitions. Like the OED does ...

Well, I thought it this an interesting topic. I've found an earlier cite, but why bother?
ummmmmmmm - maybe because we're all here (to a certain extent) to have fun?

As I posted in Community, I think we all need to take a deep breath. I absolutely think this was an excellent thread with much good knowledge. In fact, someone who posts on another word board that is much larger than this told me this was one of the best discussions on words he has seen. Yet, I also think that we are here, as you say CW, to have fun too.
Right now, though, I sense that people are getting a little frayed and feelings are getting hurt. So...can we please move on? As always, concerns about the board, at least at first, are much better brought up privately.
Moving right along, the next word up (alphabetically) is the G-word.
Any thoughts on the G-word?

OK. I keep finding more bits and pieces, so I'll add over the next couple of days, instead of in one massive post.
Above, I'd listed five uses of swive in the Canturbury Tales. There are two more that I'd missed, each of them in the Reeve's Tale.
Swived the miller's daughter bolt-upright,
Thus is the proude miller well y-beat, ...
His wife is swived, and his daughter als [also]
Hmmm - no wonder we only studied parts of the Canturbury tales in school . . .
"Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
~Dalai Lama
no wonder we only studied parts of the Canturbury tales in school
Yes, indeed. I remember asking one of my high school English teachers if he had a copy of Beowulf in Old English that I could borrow. He was sorry but he didn't. He did loan me his copy of Chaucer (in Middle English) and pointed me at the Reeve's Tale and the Miller's Tale. The next day we discussed the literary versus the naughty bits. Years later in college I took a Chaucer class from an emeritus professor. We each got a tale to study (I got the Knight's Tale). We'd read out loud in class from the selected tale for a while, then dicuss it. What a fun class that was. The professor, one of the first PhDs in folklore, told us the first day of class: "Look, I don't get paid for teaching this class. I do it because I enjoy Chaucer. If you're not going to put any effort into this, drop it." It was so refreshing. Later that summer he sent each of us a post card from a different pub along the way between London and Canturbury.
I was fortunate enough to have several professors with that kind of dedication and love of their subjects! I had one class in undergrad that met at a local (well, close to local, for this area) bar & grill every third class or so. For a "dry" school, this was quite rebellious! WooHOO! The funniest thing is that hardly any of us drank - we just spent our time eating deep fried foods and talking about international manners.

~Dalai Lama
Continuing: OED's first cite for the f-word is dated 1503. However, an undated manuscript believed to be from a bit earlier (1450-1500) contains both that word and swive.
They are written in code, but the code is easy to crack. The scribe just replaced each letter with the immediately-following letter of the alphabet; you decode it by reversing the procedure. Here is the text, in case those who know Latin spot something I miss, with the coded parts in red. (The old letters thorn and yogh are not available in Wordcraft's font, so I've used Þ and ž)
Þustilis and breris / crescentia gramina ledunt.
Xriste, nolens guerras, / sed cuncta pace tueris,
Destrue par terras / breris flen flyžes & freris.
fflen flyžes and freris / Foul falle him þys fyften žeris,
ffor'non þat her ys / louit flen flyžes ne freris.
Frateres carmelil / nauigant in a both apud Eli;
Non sunt in celi / quia gxddbov xxkxxžt pg ifmk —
Onmes drencherunt / quia sterisman non habuerunt.
ffratres cum knyuys / goþ about and txxkxžv nfookt xxžxkt
Ex Eli veniens presenti / sede locature,
Nec rex nec sapiens, / Salomon tamen vocatur.
Pediculus cum sex / pedibuls me mordet vbique;
Si possum capere / tokl tob debt ipsem habere.
The phrases thus decode to state that the friars fuccant wivvis of Heli ("f*ck the wives of Heli") and swivit mennis wivis.
.fuccent. uuivves of heli =
.fuccant. wivves of Heli
Modern folk song heard on the radio. The woman who sings is presumably a folk-singer from the 60's or 70's, now matured to become a mother befuddled by her children. Her plaint, sung in a high thin voice, has this chorus.
It's f-word this, and f-word that.
I can't control how you young people talk to one another.
But I don't want to hear you use the f-word with your mother.

EDITORIAL: Unspeakable tragedy in Newtown
There is no explanation, only heartbreak at the massacre of innocent children,
many in kindergarten, at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
Once again we have been reminded of the horror that the hateful and deranged can wreak upon the innocent. All too often it is a lone male who has lost touch with himself and the world, who has the power with a gun to express his demented rage in the death of others.
By the time the shooting stopped Friday, 20 children, many of them reportedly in a kindergarten classroom, were dead, as well as six adults, including a teacher who was reportedly the gunman's mother. The gunman killed himself.
It was the second worst school shooting after a mentally disturbed student shot 32 people to death at Virginia Tech in 2007.
Although the shooting followed a familiar pattern, it was different for us. It happened here, in Connecticut, in a place that seemed safe. That illusion has been shattered. Although we cannot conduct our lives in fear, we know that there is no place where people gather that is immune from such senseless death.
Lone gunmen in the United States have killed far more Americans than have died in all the al-Qaida attacks since Sept. 11. This slaughter of the innocents is also different because of the age of victims, as young as five years old. Calls for stronger gun control laws have been shrugged off after past mass shootings. In the past, President Barack Obama has avoided the political volatile issue of gun control.
After Friday's shootings the White House again brushed off questions about tougher gun measures. But, then the president spoke, not so much as the nation's leader, but as the father of two daughters.
This time he promised action to stop such future slaughters. Again, he did not specify any specific action. But millions of parents hope he will act to try and make schools, movie theaters, offices a little safer. Children have a right to grow up, not be shot down in their classroom.

Summit Hotel Properties Closes on Acquisition of the
252-room Holiday Inn Express
AUSTIN, Texas-February 13, 2103--Summit Hotel Properties (NYSE: INN) ("the Company") announced today it has closed on the joint venture transaction for the acquisition of a 252-room Holiday Inn Express® property (the "Hotel") located on Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, CA.

The Hotel joins the 10 IHG-branded hotels in the Company's portfolio, including the Holiday Inn Atlanta-Gwinnett Place and the Staybridge Suites Denver that were previously acquired under our current sourcing agreement. The joint venture gives the Company an approximate 80% ownership interest in the Hotel, which will be operated under a long-term IHG management agreement. The Company currently expects the joint venture to spend an aggregate of approximately $3.0 million for improvements at the Hotel within the next 12 months. The Company anticipates a post-renovation estimated NTM EBITDA multiple for the Hotel in the range of 11.0x to 12.0x based on management's current estimate of EBITDA.

"This joint venture purchase with Summit is yet another example of us delivering consistently on our asset strategy, as well as working with high quality ownership groups who have confidence in our brands and management expertise."
Features of the Hotel are in line with the $1 billion Holiday Inn® brand family's global brand relaunch, which was the largest project of its kind ever in the hospitality industry. The relaunch program has created a more contemporary brand image, including redesigned logo and signage, as part of the drive to increase the portfolio's quality and consistency around the world. Business and leisure guests to a Holiday Inn Express hotel will enjoy signature details in areas that were a key focus of the relaunch including: arrival and welcome services, guestroom and guest bath comfort.

With captain Shalrie Joseph back in the lineup, the Revs welcome the rival New York Red Bulls to Gillette Stadium | MatchCenter >> | Highlight: Perovic's 8th minute goal >>
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – As the New England Revolution prepared for Saturday night's match against the New York Red Bulls with a trio of training sessions this week, head coach Steve Nicol had one singular focus: get back to basics.
After the Revs (2-6-2, 8 pts.) had their winless streak extended to seven games (0-5-2) last weekend in Toronto, Nicol claimed his club's biggest issue was an inability to properly pass the ball with consistency. As a result, the Revs struggled to maintain possession for long stretches and attacking threats were often cut out before they could generate momentum. With the Red Bulls (5-4-0, 15 pts.) on tap Saturday night, Nicol was well aware that improvement was needed.
This week's training sessions included a variety of passing drills, possession exercises and small-sided games, all aimed at breaking the game down simplistically.
"I've certainly been complaining about the passing," said Nicol. "When you can't train, you can't practice. Obviously passing is something we would practice, so we haven't been able to do that. So I'll give [the players] a bit of slack on that, but now we've got plenty of time, so we need to refocus and get concentrating again."
The time Nicol mentioned is a reference to the club's training schedule, which finally returned to a bit of normalcy this week after a hectic stretch of games in May. Because the Revolution played seven games in the first three weeks of the month, the club rarely had time to train and the players spent most of their days recuperating rather than actually practicing.
With one full week in between their last game against Toronto FC and this weekend's game against New York, the Revs were able to conduct three consecutive training sessions on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for the first time since April.
"I think it's really important because we get to train the whole week," said forward Kheli Dube. "We can do the basic stuff we need to do during games. When you're playing seven games in three weeks, you don't train very much, so sometimes all the basic stuff you do kind of goes away.
"As you could see last game, we need to pass the ball more," he continued. "But if you come in this week and start training, then everything just flows again."
One factor which will instantly improve the Revolution's possession game will be the inclusion of captain Shalrie Joseph, who surprisingly returned from a five-game absence to play the full 90 minutes last weekend in Toronto. The 2009 MLS MVP finalist's influence was apparent against TFC, even though he slotted into the starting lineup without the benefit of a single training session with his teammates since the end of April.
Perhaps more than any other player in the league, Joseph's impact cannot be overstated.
"It means everything," said Pat Phelan, who has filled in as a central defender for the Revolution's last two matches and could find himself there once again with Darrius Barnes (R ankle sprain) out and both Cory Gibbs (R hamstring strain) and Emmanuel Osei (R leg infection) doubtful on Friday's injury report. "We've been struggling. He fills in a lot of holes, brings a lot of leadership, great distribution, he's a threat on set pieces. We just can't say enough about him, so we're excited to have him back, for sure."
Having missed four weeks of training, there are obvious questions about Joseph's fitness level and game sharpness. With three training sessions now under his belt, Joseph isn't worried about his fitness but does admit that it will take time to recover that sharpness on the ball.
"The fitness is going to be there, I'm not concerned about that," said Joseph. "The sharpness is going to take another week or two to come back, but it's all about just getting out there and giving 110 percent. The guys know I'm going to have their backs no matter what."
Joseph's return not only provides a boost on the field, but in the locker room, as well. The 32-year-old captain is a veteran leader on one of the league's youngest teams, and his presence will be crucial as the Revs try to overcome the mental hurdles associated with a seven-game winless streak.
"Guys are thinking about it and guys are talking about it on a daily basis," said goalkeeper Preston Burpo, who called the current winless skid one of the worst streaks he's been involved in during his time in MLS. "You just keep doing what you believe you should be doing and hope that you play well, get a lucky bounce and things start turning for you."
According to versatile defender/midfielder Chris Tierney, the only way to deal with the winless streak is to forget about it.
"You've just got to have a short memory in pro soccer," he said. "The quicker you forget about losses and move on to focus on your training and working on the things you do well, the better the results are going to be. We've just got to forget about what's happened, not think about how many
A sense of urgency might help the Revs focus, as Saturday night's match against the Red Bulls is the Revolution's final regular-season home game before taking a two-week break for the group stage of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The Revs will follow up this weekend's game with a trip to Seattle to face the Sounders on June 5, and then won't play another league match until hosting the Chicago Fire on June 27.
With this being the last home game for four weeks – especially considering the current seven-game winless streak – Saturday night's visit from the Red Bulls takes on extra significance.
"Every home game is huge, but obviously we're not on a great run" said Nicol. "The best time to end a run like this is to win at home, and that's what we aim to do on Saturday."

USAA to add 1,000 jobs here
USAA, San Antonio's largest private-sector employer, is about to get bigger.
The financial services and insurance company announced Tuesday that it plans to add as many as 3,500 jobs over the next three years, including up to 1,000 in San Antonio — where it already employs 16,400.
"Demand has never been stronger for all that USAA offers, and we need to continue to have the best employees in sufficient numbers," USAA CEO Joe Robles said in a statement.
The company expects to fill a variety of positions, including: customer contact representatives in investments, insurance, banking and claims; underwriters; information security specialists; business and financial analysts; and modeling and statistical analysts.
To accommodate its growth, USAA intends to lease additional space in San Antonio because it currently occupies about 90 percent of the 5 million square feet at its 280-acre campus at 9800 Fredericksburg Road on the Northwest Side.
Shon Manasco, USAA's chief administrative officer, said the company has identified a location in San Antonio where it wants to expand, but he declined to say where.
"We've talked about plans to be able to hire up to a thousand more people in San Antonio," Manasco said. "That should give you a perspective of what kind of real estate footprint expansion we would need to have to be able to accommodate that growth."
Manasco acknowledged he wasn't aware of a single property in San Antonio that's large enough to accommodate all of the people it wants to hire.
USAA has tried to keep a tight lid on its site search, Manasco said.
USAA also revealed plans to add up to 1,000 jobs in Phoenix, where it already employs more than 3,300 people.
It expects to break ground next month on a 380,000-square-foot expansion of its 644,000-square-foot campus in Arizona.
The company hasn't determined where the remaining 1,500 hires will be based, though Manasco said it is committed to the markets in which it maintains operations.
"We are currently evaluating that as we speak," he said. "We would like to be able to do more here in San Antonio over time."
While Manasco said the company preferred to keep any expansion in San Antonio close to its headquarters, he didn't rule out establishing a presence in downtown San Antonio.
Overall, USAA has about 24,000 employees. The addition of 3,500 positions would represent a 14.6 percent increase in its workforce.
Manasco said the new hires, by and large, are expected to be full-time USAA employees rather than contract workers.
USAA has about 9.4 million customers, comprised of military members, veterans and their families. Its customer base has increased by more than 20 percent in the past three years.
"This expansion represents the coming together of USAA's stellar business performance and San Antonio's status as one of the top performing local economies in the nation," Mayor Julián Castro said in the USAA statement.
The company plays a huge part in the health of the city's economy, according to St. Mary's University economist Steve Nivin.
"This (expansion) is an indication of the benefits of having some pretty strong, well-managed companies locally that can grow in this type of environment," Nivin said. "It's a nice little boost."
The company reports on its website that it's the fifth-largest homeowners' insurer and sixth-largest auto insurer in the country.
It had a net worth of $22.3 billion as of Sept. 30, up from $20 billion at the end of 2011.
USAA hasn't yet released financial results for 2012, which it already said was the second-worst year for insurance-related catastrophes in its history. It paid $1.1 billion in claims last year, on top of $1.4 billion paid in 2011.
Nevertheless, in the first half of last year, it reported earning $1.5 billion — up 78 percent from $841 million in net income in the first half of 2011.
Fitch Ratings affirmed its AAA rating — the agency's highest — for USAA in January.
Fitch cited USAA's "exceptionally strong capitalization, solid liquidity, continued disciplined underwriting, and historically low financial leverage."
However, offsetting factors include the company's catastrophe risk and the lower credit profile of its banking operation, Fitch added.
Staff Writer Valentino Lucio contributed to this report.

Woo! I love this kind of stuff for Christmas time!
This lip palette is petroleum free and uses pure peppermint oil.

Non-Combat Pet Macro
/script CallCompanion("CRITTER", random(1, GetNumCompanions("CRITTER")))
3 comments:
Thank you very much! I had been doing it manually myself (/userandom, or something like that, but I had to change it when obtaining any new pet), so this will come in handy!ReplyDelete
How about mounts?
The problem with mounts is you can't really differentiate between slow ground mounts, fast ground mounts, slow flying mounts, or fast flying mounts.ReplyDelete
If you want a flying mount, you might end up pulling out your old warhorse from level 40.
Blizzard would need to add some way to specify speed and ground/flying type before a random mount macro makes sense
- Anonymous5:03 PM, November 09, 2008
You CAN choose between a ground and a flying mount in one macro by using the 'flyable' parameter, but I don't think you can choose randomly between fast and slow now that mounts are in a spellbook. (Before you could just carry fast mounts but not the slow ones.)ReplyDelete
I'm a hunter and I like to change aspects when I mount and dismount, so I use:
/cast [nomounted, noindoors] !Aspect of the Monkey
/cast [flyable, nomounted, noindoors] Swift Green Wind Rider; [nomounted] Swift Gray Wolf
/cast [mounted] !Aspect of the Hawk
/Dismount [mounted]
You can add "noflying" to the Dismount parameter to prevent yourself from accidentally casting a spell/dismounting and falling to an ugly death... but I'm such a doofus when it comes to landing that I want to be able to dismount quickly when I'm close enough to the ground. (*^_^*)

7 September 2011
If you've ever been to Australia Zoo, you'll agree that one of the best parts of the Zoo is South East Asia (not that we're biased!). South East Asia at the Zoo is home to our Sumatran Tigers, Bengal Tigers, Asian Elephants and more recently two male Red Pandas.
Over the last few months the Elephant crew have been busy learning how to take care of the Red Pandas, because lets face it - they're right next door and they're pretty awesome! Now that we've learnt how to prepare their diet and look after them we've adopted them into our department, so don't find it unusual if we write about them in our Elephant updates!
Yoddah, meaning 'Warrior' in Nepalese, is our oldest Red Panda at 9 years old, although he's the oldest, he's definitely the quiet one of the two. On the other hand we have Pasang, his name means 'Born on a Friday' in Nepalese. Pasang at 5 years old is a typical teenager; sleeping in, not eating his veggies and refusing to go to bed when asked to by his keepers!
If you would like to get to know more about our Red Pandas, you can come and check them out at South East Asia, along with our Tigers and Elephants...and if that's not enough, you can book a Rascally Red Panda Encounter and come into their enclosure to get up close and personal with our gorgeous boys!
Until next time..
Remember, Elephant AND Red Pandas RULE!!

The campaigns of those who hope to become the Republican presidential nominee keep reminding me of the Democratic primary in 2008, when I almost lost a friend or two. I had expressed a personal preference for Hillary Clinton as the nominee, and gone to an event in her honor. I admired Ms. Clinton, thought she was brilliant, and found the idea of a woman as president exciting . . . but I had a change of heart and let it be known.
There was a single compelling reason: I was sure from what she said and from her background as first lady that Ms. Clinton was, to put it bluntly, a hawk; I wanted a president who disapproved of the war in Iraq and was able to articulate diplomatic approaches to the world's conflicts. Little did I know how things would change.
Like the Norwegian committee that awarded President Obama the Nobel Peace Prize, I was naive. That he chose Ms. Clinton as secretary of state was politically expedient, to be sure, but it also drew them together as decision-makers. The new president appointed the head of the Central Intelligence Agency to be secretary of defense. He increased the numbers of our troops in Afghanistan, and then he escalated the use of drones on killing missions. A peace president? Hardly.
After Sept. 11, it was said drones would help us destroy Al Qaeda and stop imminent attack, if necessary. Since then, some 60 deaths have been caused by drones in the tribal areas of Pakistan — where Al Qaeda were said to have set up shop — with others reported just this week. The drones have been sent over Afghanistan, Iran, Yemen, and Somalia, been used in Libya and Syria, and in the Mexican drug war. The Obama administration not only shrouds how targets are determined and strikes approved but it refuses to make public its argument for how drones are justified under international law.
The hope had been (in my case, it was expectation) that President Obama would reverse what many of us believed were violations of the Constitution under the Bush war on terror. He may have stopped the practice of torture, which the former administration endorsed, but he has approved a law that seems to violate the Constitution in another way: He signed the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act, which allows anyone, even an American citizen, whom the government considers to be "a member of, or part of, al-Qaida or an associated force'" to be held in military custody indefinitely "without trial until the end of the hostilities. . . ."
Perhaps Mr. Obama was naive, too. Maybe he didn't foresee how being president would affect his views on war and peace; maybe he had no idea he would find it no longer possible to be (or pretend to be) a dove. It's true that he has made some dovelike gestures recently, cautioning against fanning the flames of war with Iran and, this week, reportedly reconsidering our military mission in Afghanistan. But would Ms. Clinton in the Oval Office have been any more hawkish? I doubt it.

Brahim Kerkour Wins George Butterworth Prize
Posted on September 25, 2013
Produced by: Sound and Music
Sound and Music are delighted to announce that Brahim Kerkour has been awarded the George Butterworth prize for 2013.
Brahim was Composer-in-Residence with Manchester Camerata in 2012, during which time he developed his work 'In Circulation' for which he has been awarded the £1500 prize. Brahim undertook this residency through Sound and Music's Embedded residency programme, supported by the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation.
Brahim Kerkour is an Anglo-Moroccan composer, based in London. His music has received performances at venues and festivals including Bridgewater Hall (Manchester), MaerzMusik Festival (Berlin), MATA Festival at Le Poisson Rouge (New York), Royaumont (France), and has been broadcast on France Musique, Deutschlandradio Kultur, and France 3. Brahim studied composition with Fabien Lévy, Tristan Murail, and Noel Zahler, and holds a doctorate from Columbia University, having initially trained at Connecticut College. www.brahimkerkour.com
About the George Butterworth Prize
"So much fantastic new work is being created by the composers on our programmes, and I'm very happy that with the annual George Butterworth Prize we are able to celebrate that. Since I started my role at Sound and Music, many composers have talked eloquently to me about the importance of the professional recognition that came from this prize in its previous incarnation under spnm, so I am really delighted that we have been able to relaunch it, along with the very popular Francis Chagrin awards."
Susanna Eastburn, Sound and Music's Chief Executive
The Prize (£1,500) is awarded annually to the composer of an outstanding new work created through one of Sound and Music's emerging composer programmes which include Embedded, Portfolio and Adopt A Composer (in partnership with Making Music). The prize recipient will be selected by a panel of composers and new music performers and then presented at a public performance. The George Butterworth panel for 2012 consists of Stephen Montague, Howard Skempton, Peter Wiegold, Trevor Wishart, Chaired by Richard Whitelaw from Sound and Music.
George Butterworth
George Butterworth (1885 –1916) was an English composer best known for the orchestral idyll The Banks of Green Willow and his song settings of A. E. Housman's poems from A Shropshire Lad.
The George Butterworth Memorial Fund was established in 1921 by the composer's family together with initial trustees including Ralph Vaughan Williams and George Dyson. It was funded by income from the estate of the composer himself who was tragically killed on the Somme during the First World War, having been awarded the Military Cross.

Idaho's arrested 'Add the Words' activists added lawyers
Boise, Idaho (AP) — Long before their arrests, activists seeking to add discrimination protections for gays and lesbians to Idaho's Human Rights Act added lawyers: The 44 people facing misdemeanor trespass charges after Monday's demonstration inside the Capitol's Senate chambers have been promised pro-bono help.
As the action began taking shape in November, Boise criminal defense attorney Dan Skinner learned about it from a client on a separate matter. Given that mass arrest seemed likely, Skinner offered to help and began an informal call for additional attorneys.
So far, 10 have signed up.
"It's about the Idaho Human Rights Act, and the fact that it does not protect gays from being fired from their jobs," Skinner said Tuesday from his office overlooking a side channel of the Boise River. "We're coming at this because we want to support equal protection under the law. That's it. That's who we are."
Skinner anticipates it could take six weeks before those arrested will enter a plea.
Former state Sen. Nicole LeFavour, a Boise Democrat and Idaho's first openly gay lawmaker, was among those arrested, issued a citation and released.
Enlisting legal help was an important part of planning, something that began three months ago and included eight training sessions on how to protest without provoking an ugly physical confrontation, LeFavour said.
"We just knew we had to be peaceful, silent and respectful — and focused on why we were there," she said.
Another reason for legal aid: Some eager would-be protesters embroiled in contentious custody disputes or other legal issues were advised to avoid arrest, given it could hurt their existing cases.
On Monday, 74-year-old Lee Taylor wore a T-shirt emblazoned with "Add The Four Words" demanding lawmakers add "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" to Idaho's existing prohibitions on employment, housing and business-service discrimination.
A day after her arrest, Taylor was defiant, vowing to fight charges punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
"I'm pleading innocent," she said. "They said that's everybody's house up there. So it's mine, too. I can't be trespassing on my own property."
Idaho senators blocked for three hours from entering their chambers and the Idaho State Police see it differently.
"I think they alienated people," said Sen. Shawn Keough, R-Sandpoint, of the demonstrators.
Given that activists have sought unsuccessfully for eight years to convince legislators to change the law, Keough said they would be well-advised now to gather 53,000 voter signatures needed for a ballot initiative, rather than orchestrate confrontations.
Senate President Pro Tem Brent Hill, R-Rexburg, says he's not "vindictive." He's not demanding that demonstrators be punished.
"They wanted a forum to express their feelings and their ideas. That was the only forum they felt they had," Hill said. "But that did not include keeping senators out of the chamber to do the public's work."
He'd be satisfied if charges were dismissed — with this caveat: That protesters don't stage a repeat action.
"If they get charged with the second or third or fourth misdemeanor, maybe that would be different," Hill said.

Not-for Credit Internships
Students may chose to pursue an internship for the experience alone, and not for academic credit.
Such interns will still be required to fulfill a variety of assignments, minus the formal academic paper:
- Students will work from 10-15 hours a week.
- Interns will keep a daily journal in the target language of their activity at the internship that should be a record of the internship experience: recording assignments given, tasks completed, personal impressions (of the field of employment and host site's role in it), etc.
- In addition, interns must submit a 1-2 paragraph summary description of the internship for posting on our webpage (in English).
- Interns must also complete an evaluation form at the end of their internship.
