Print out the invitation and wad up the paper into a ball to make crease marks on the paper. Next fill a bowl with paper and tea bags. Unroll the paper and dip it into the bowl. The tea bags will dye the paper into a nice aged look. The amount of time you leave it in the bowl will determine how dark it gets. You can lay it out to dry or use a hairdryer to dry the paper. If you roll a tea bag over the paper, it will leave tea grains on it, adding to the old look. Next, glue a small wooden dowel or stick to the top and bottom of the paper and roll up.

...from having to live a servant life and this is teaching young girls that if one so happens to be beautiful enough, a wealthy prince will come along and save them. These Disney princesses are emphasizing to young girls that thinness and sensual features are a woman’s most prominent characteristics and that is what is going to draw the attention of a husband. Falling in love with someone’s beauty and not personality is yet another way Walt Disney shows young girls that a female's appearance is what is going to get her a husband. This is exactly what happens in Sleeping Beauty, Prince Phillip and Aurora did not even speak to one another, before Phillips decides he wants to marry her and he is deeply in love with her. Young girls should not be expecting at the age of 16 to have mature breasts, and a crystal clear complexion, however this is what Walt Disney is visually showing them. Aurora is given the blessing of "the gift of beauty"(Disney, Sleeping Beauty) by the fairy Flora and this is simply another way that Walt Disney shows little girls that beauty trumps other characteristics. The princess is never given characteristics like strength and intelligence but rather the only thing that would get a prince to fall in love with her and that is the way she looks. Here, coming full circle with the princess not being able to show the prince what is truly on the inside because she is never given the chance. Sleeping Beauty pricks her finger on the spindle and falls into a deep sleep...

...Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) By: Adriana Zavala They are many myths about the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights), named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas, by Pierre Gassendi in 1621.The Lapps or the Saami people that were a closely related race of the Finns’ who lived in Lappland, in what is officially Northern Finland, Sweden, and Norway traditionally believed that the Aurora Borealis “were the energies of the souls of the departed. When the fires blazed in the skies, people were to behave solemnly, and children were admonished to quiet down and be respectful of the fires. It was believed that whoever disrespected the fires incurred bad fortune, which could result in sickness and even death” The Lapps believed these fires to have magical effects; Lappish shaman drums often have runes illustrating the fires to connect their energy. The lights were believed to have a serene effect on arguments, and the time of the fires was beneficial to problem solving. The Lapps also had a belief that if you whistled under the Aurora Borealis, then the lights would take you away with them (1). An American history on the Aurora Borealis took as an event. After the battle of Fredricksburg, the Aurora Borealis could be seen. The army took is it as God’s sign to show that he was on their side throughout the battle. It is very unusual to see the Aurora Borealis in Virginia (2). The Aurora Borealis is seen in many ways. One as a diffuse...

... is cursed to live forever. Tithonus tells Aurora, goddess of the dawn, that he grows old slowly in her arms like a “white-hair’d shadow” roaming in the east. Tithonus laments that while he is now a “gray shadow” he was once a beautiful man chosen as Aurora’s lover. He remembers that he long ago asked Aurora to grant him eternal life: “Give me immortality!” Aurora granted his wish generously, like a rich philanthropist who has so much money that he gives charity without thinking twice. However, the Hours, the goddesses who accompany Aurora, were angry that Tithonus was able to resist death, so they took their revenge by battering him until he grew old and withered. Now, though he cannot die, he remains forever old; and he must dwell in the presence of Aurora, who renews herself each morning and is thus forever young. Tithonus appeals to Aurora to take back the gift of immortality while the “silver star” of Venus rises in the morning. He now realizes the ruin in desiring to be different from all the rest of mankind and in living beyond the “goal of ordinance,” the normal human lifespan. Just before the sun rises, Tithonus catches sight of the “dark world” where he was born a mortal. He witnesses the coming of Aurora, the dawn: her cheek begins to turn red and her eyes grow so bright that they overpower the light of the stars. Aurora’s team of horses awakes and converts the twilight into fire. The poet now addresses Aurora, telling her that she always grows beautiful...

...Smart Growth Douglas Broadwater GEOG 101 December 7, 2012 Stephen Buckman Smart Growth Stapleton International Airport in Denver Colorado was first opened in 1929, and operated continuously until it closed in 1995. After 66 years of operation, upgrades, and expansion the airport had five concourses, six runways up to 12,000 feet in length and covered nearly 4,700 acres of land. From 1995 on the site sat largely abandoned while investor attempted to find vendors to set up shops in the empty concourses, in 1997 a hail storm punched holes in the roof of the terminals causing extensive water damage, the decision was made to tear down all the structure except for the 12 story control tower that is hoped to serve as an airport monument, developer want to turn it in to anything from a museum, restaurant or recreation center although its final destiny has yet to be determined("Denver Urban Renewal Authority", n.d.). In 1999 the City of Denver selected Forest City Stapleton Inc. as a master developer for Stapleton’s Sustainable Development Plan. This would generate economic development, enhance existing neighborhoods and businesses and offer high quality attractive homes to people with all different ranges of incomes. (Smartgrowth in action, n.d.) Stapleton covers 4,700 acres and is just fifteen minutes from downtown Denver. The project was estimated to take 15-20 years until full completion.

...Lincoln Gives Its Big SUV a Face-Lift Ford Plans to Formally Unveil the Restyled Navigator at the Chicago Auto Show By JOSEPH B. WHITE The face that launched a thousand supertankers is getting a makeover. Ford Motor Co. F -2.28% 's Lincoln brand is giving a new face and some new features to its venerable Lincoln Navigator, the model that jump-started the fad for supersize, fuel-thirsty luxury sport-utility vehicles when it first made its debut in the late 1990s. The restyled Lincoln Navigator from Ford. Ford Motor Co. General Motors Co. GM -2.65% 's rival Cadillac brand at first balked at following the Navigator, then countered with its own plus-size Escalade SUV, which later grew into a family of luxury versions of GM's largest SUV models. A four-wheel drive 1999 Navigator had an estimated fuel economy of 12 miles per gallon in city and highway driving. That later improved to 15 miles per gallon. The 2008 recession and a series of gasoline price spikes slashed sales of the Navigator and Escalade, and ultimately killed off GM's Hummer brand of big, high-price SUVs. But the Navigator and the Escalade survived and both are now getting makeovers. GM is planning to roll out a redesigned Escalade this spring. The revamped Navigator will be in showrooms this fall, Ford said in a statement. Ford sold just 8,613 Navigators last year, up 2.9% from a year earlier, but about a fifth of the model's peak sales in 1998. The refreshed Navigator will get a new grille, with horizontal...

...December 21, 1872 England, This clear water is a pleasant surprise, but the cold is painful. This ship is the most highly equipped ship i've ever sailed in. I can say this is vastly impressive for this age, and I can only imagine what the future will be like. I have to say my favorite feature on this ship is the Natural History Laboratory. Its where specimens were examined, and drawn. I can only say this will mark history with our recorded discoveries. December 22, 1872 Unknown destination, somewhere outside of England. The sun is finally out and temperatures have risen! The sun makes this day off a hundred times better.The shipmates decided to round together for a good ole game of cards! I haven't played for so long, and i lost all my snacks we keep as game. We sat for a meal and had chicken. We picked it up when we docked somewhere and we cooked it. Sadly it was nothing special and it was just chicken and rice. Days like this make this voyage much less lonelier. Spirits are high and tomorrow continues to lurk closer. December 24, 1872 Unknown Destination, somewhere outside of England. Its raining! The ship is starting to take a toll and the waves are rocking us around! Today is chaotic and a lot of hassle. But i fear for my life. I think i have came down with scurvy. They tell me to toughen up but i have hardly any strength.

...Cabeza de Vaca Cabeza de Vaca was a spanish conquistador who led a five ship 600 man-expedition to Florida. Cabeza de Vaca was not a good leader, and only became leader because the old leader failed miserably. The moment they left for the expedition it was a disaster. The moment the Spaniards entered the Caribbean it was just a disaster, after losing two ships in a hurricane and over 200 men by drowning and desertion. Cabeza de Vaca was a very will powered man. He didn’t care if he lost men, ships, as long as he reached the goals he had set everything was okay. He didn’t really care about the safety of his men, clearly. As soon as they had entered the Caribbean it was a huge mess. He had lost 2 ships, and over 200 men by drowning and...

...One sunny morning, my family and I decided to take a trip up to Lake Mille Lacs. All along the way, we noticed what an incredible ride our Ford Expedition ’05 provided us. Its independent shocks and air suspension made our journey very comfortable and smooth on the bumpy, rugged road. When we arrived at the lake, we noticed that a car had gotten stuck in a snow bank which was incredibly deep. We went over to approach them and asked if perhaps they needed some help from us. They replied yes, so we took out the tow rope and attached it to both their hitch and ours. As soon as the rope was secure, we then went back to our vehicle and shifted the gears to “4 × 4 low” in order to pull them out of the snow. This event really showed me that the Expedition was not just attractive-looking, but also truly powerful. After that, we continued on our way and went fishing on the lake. When the sun began to set across the horizon, we decided to go back to the cabin and fry up our catches of the day. The next morning, we rose at 7:00 a.m. with plans to hit the lake again and placed all of the gear back into the SUV. While we were doing so, we witnessed the sun shining on the Expedition in the most perfectly, exquisite way. We couldn’t help but smile at each other while admiring its brilliant design. After we finished up loading the equipment, we then headed back inside to eat a warm, filling breakfast. After the hearty meal, we all hopped back into the car and drove to the lake again. When...

During the journey many of his men died because of starvation or were close to death and could not function in the cold. “That was not much but valuable in that bitter November cold our bodies so emaciated we could easily count every bone and looked the very picture of death” (page 72). Cabeza de Vaca uses pathos in this quote. In early November de Vaca and what was left of his crew made it to the new land.

...9-803-127 REV: DECEMBER 2, 2010 NANCY F. KOEHN Leadership in Crisis: Ernest Shackleton and the Epic Voyage of the Endurance For scientific discovery give me Scott; for speed and efficiency of travel give me Amundsen; but when disaster strikes and all hope is gone, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton. — Sir Raymond Priestley, Antarctic Explorer and Geologist On January 18, 1915, the ship Endurance, carrying a highly celebrated British polar expedition, froze into the icy waters off the coast of Antarctica. The leader of the expedition, Sir Ernest Shackleton, had planned to sail his boat to the coast through the Weddell Sea, which bounded Antarctica to the north, and then march a crew of six men, supported by dogs and sledges, to the Ross Sea on the opposite side of the continent (see Exhibit 1).1 Deep in the southern hemisphere, it was early in the summer, and the Endurance was within sight of land, so Shackleton still had reason to anticipate reaching shore. The ice, however, was unusually thick for the ship’s latitude, and an unexpected southern wind froze it solid around the ship. Within hours the Endurance was completely beset, a wooden island in a sea of ice. More than eight months later, the ice still held the vessel. Instead of melting and allowing the crew to proceed on its mission, the ice, moving with ocean currents, had carried the boat over 670 miles north.2 As it moved, the ice slowly began to soften, and the tremendous force of distant currents...

...In this case, Nancy Denny was under the impression that she was purchasing a Ford Bronco. She was purchasing this Bronco because of its perceived safety benefits of its four-wheel-drive capacity and its ability to switch between two and four wheel drive if she had concerns about driving in the snow and ice. She testified that she did not purchase the Bronco for any off road purposes and that according to the sales presentation the Bronco was very suitable for commuting and for suburban and city driving. The sales presentation is geared to sell the Bronco based on all of its positives of everyday practical uses and does not go into detail of potential safety issues of this vehicle being engineered basically as an off road vehicle. According to Ford the vehicle had been intended to be used as an off-road vehicle and not designed as a passenger automobile, which is what Nancy Denny had believed she was purchasing, she was not at all interested in it’s off road use. (Halbert/Ingulli, 2012, p 307) There were three grounds in which Nancy Denny approached this legal battle with Ford Motor Company. The first of which was a strict products liability approach. This approach is used when a manufacturer places a product on the market for sale when the product has a defective. The manufacturer becomes liable for injuries suffered as a result of the product being defective when the product was used for its intended or reasonably intended purpose. Therefore, Nancy Denny would need to prove...
