Advanced Canine Logic
Still fascinated by Snoopy's behavior? Still looking for more information on how he learns new things or behaves based on the stuff he has learned or experienced before? This might be the class for you! Building on the material covered in the Canine Logic class, we will examine in more detail a variety of dog topics. Class is for humans only, but access to a dog at home (or elsewhere) will be useful, as there will be some training assignments and dog-friendly experiments to conduct. Relevant reading assignments will be provided throughout the course, and guest speakers are anticipated. Class is for humans only - please leave your dog at home.

Canine Logic
COME, SIT and STAY awhile - and learn about the science behind all methods of dog training! With a promise to make the material fun and easy-to-grasp, we will investigate both operant conditioning (think B.F. Skinner), and classical conditioning (think Ivan Pavlov), and look at how both can either help or hinder your attempts at training. We will look at the history of dog training, investigate popular training methods and equipment, and take a look at what tools might work best for 'fixing' specific doggie issues. We will also look at dog-dog communication (in love and war) and how dog-human communication works best based on some understanding of 'their' language. There will be a hands-on lab component each evening using shelter or Richmond SPCA staff dogs. Students can purchase the optional textbooks from the instructor on the first night of class (approximately $25). Class is for humans only - please leave your dog at home.

Chinese Terra Cotta Warriors Exhibit
Soldiers. Charioteers. Archers. Musicians. Generals. Acrobats. Nearly 2,000 years ago, thousands of life-size clay figures were buried in massive underground pits to accompany China's first emperor, Qin Shihuangdi, into the afterlife. Their discovery outside the city of Xi'an in 1974 is one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century. Now, you can stand face-to-face with these terra cotta warriors at the National Geographic Museum's exhibition, which will feature treasures from the tomb complex including these life-size figures, weapons, armor, coins and more. Don't miss this chance to see the largest collection of significant artifacts from China ever to travel to the United States! Your guide for the day is Dr. Ken Ostrand, ancient historian, archaeologist and two-time visitor to the Warriors in Xi'an. He will give a background presentation on the bus, revealing some of the hidden details that might otherwise be overlooked. After viewing the Terra Cotta Warrior exhibit, you'll have free time on your own to explore the other exhibits in the museum. We will then go to the Museum Mall, where you'll have time to visit other museums and have lunch on your own. Course fee includes ticket to the exhibit, presentation by Dr. Ostrand, and deluxe coach transportation.

Italy Dinner and Lecture - Off the Beaten Track
Rome, Florence and Venice - these are three of the world's most familiar and emblematic cities and among the best Italy has to offer. But join us as we go off the beaten track to some of Italy's other gems! First, a complete Italian meal! Based on traditional Italian recipes (not just pizza!) you'll enjoy a four course meal and fine Italian wine. Then it's off on our tour of lesser-known cities in Italy. Tonight's guide will be historian Ken Ostrand, a frequent visitor to Italy. Armed with a sense of humor, a historian's perspective and PowerPoint slides and pictures, he'll take us to some of Italy's other places - underground to visit mummies, high atop Medieval towers, and into an Italian Alpine village where they still ring church bells to scare off evil spirits! Doors will open at 6:15 p.m. Dinner will be served at 6:30p.m.

Mummies, Mummies Everywhere!
Since childhood many of us have held a peculiar fascination, revulsion and even reverence for mummies. Sometimes macabre, occasionally humorous and always intriguing, mummies are a tantalizing subject for young and old as we indirectly and unconsciously confront our own mortality, as well as remains of an earlier age. Our guide will be nationally-recognized mummy authority Dr. Ken Ostrand. He'll use slides, handouts and even specimens to illustrate his points. Artifact or natural, human or animal, ancient, medieval or even modern - Dr. Ostrand will examine the various types of mummies. And while our focus will be on Egyptian mummies, we'll look at mummies from around the world too - they are a phenomenon far more widespread than many realize! Smoked, freeze-dried, salted and even stuffed - join us as we visit the wonderful world of mummies!

Revolution in the Southern Colonies-1st Civil War
It is generally estimated that throughout the course of the Revolutionary War, only one third of the American public consistently supported the cause of independence, another third firmly remained loyal to the British Crown, and the decisive final third tended to support whichever army was currently camped out in their neighborhood. Nowhere was this division of opinion more violently played out than in the Southern colonies. This class will examine the origins and outcomes of the tensions between families, neighbors, economic and social classes, races, religions, and nationalities that plagued the South through almost nine years of continuous warfare. In addition to details on the military campaigns and battles, students will explore political and social themes that continue to have relevance in contemporary regional, national and international affairs.

The Godfather as History
Few novels and films have influenced American popular culture as deeply as has The Godfather. More than a lurid expose or organized crime, The Godfather is a tragedy in the classical sense, which unmasks persistent truths about human nature, society and history that the complexities of modern life obscure. Study The Godfather to discern the insights that the novel and the films offer into such perennial questions as the nature of power, the sources of individual and social corruption, the consequences of sin, the character of the good society, the meaning of virtue, the efficacy of religion, and the relations between traditional and modern society. Students should read The Godfather prior to class. Machiavelli's The Prince is suggested (but not required) reading.

Ever tried to blur water to get that cottony look? Do you know how to adjust f/stops and shutter speeds to make the blur happen? Do you know how to manipulate the depth of field to make sure everything you want is in focus? Without the basic understanding of photography, how your camera works and which bells and whistles are most important, you'll never get the photograph you want. Stop doing what the camera tells you to do and start using all the features it has! Make the camera dance to your tune! You will leave this course with a better understanding of how to take a picture in the camera and not rely on making it in the computer. You will get the most out of this class if you have a digital or film SLR camera (not a requirement) and its manual.
