Please note that due to bad weather conditions, this evening's workshop has been postponed.
Wednesday Nov 7 – 6:00 – 9:00pm
Painting the Colors of Harvest & Autumn
Wine & Cheese Workshop
Tuesday Oct 23 – 6:00pm – 9:00pm POSTPONED DUE TO SNOW
Join Cheryl Peddie for a workshop painting the colors of fall. Designed for beginning students in acrylic and oil, we focus on creating a supportive, relaxed environment for new painters. When you're painting from photo references, it is easy to become overly focused on trying to reproduce colors only as they appear in your photo. However this can result in paintings that lack the airy freshness and light of the landscape you remember experiencing. In this workshop, we'll explore how to visualize, mix and integrate those experiential colors into your landscapes. We'll also cover how to incorporate and build on the light and shadow patterns in your composition. Cheryl will also do demos on her own canvas throughout the evening to help illustrate the concepts being explored. Bring a variety of photo references of fall landscapes, plus your painting supplies.
Location: Atlantis Fine Framing Studio – 4515 Manhattan Rd SE Calgary (AB)
To register: 403-258-0075
Workshop fee: $35.00 plus GST
Door prize: Set of two framed mini-paintings by Cheryl Peddie

Set in a beautiful but economically devastated Pennsylvania steel town, American Rust is a novel of the lost American dream and the desperation—as well as the acts of friendship, loyalty, and love—that arise from its loss. From local bars to trainyards to prison, it is the story of two young men, bound to the town by family, responsibility, inertia, and the beauty around them, who dream of a future beyond the factories and abandoned homes.
Left alone to care for his aging father after his mother commits suicide and his sister escapes to Yale, Isaac English longs for a life beyond his hometown. But when he finally sets out to leave for good, accompanied by his temperamental best friend, former high school football star Billy Poe, they are caught up in a terrible act of violence that changes their lives forever.
Evoking John Steinbeck's novels of restless lives during the Great Depression, American Rust takes us into the contemporary American heartland at a moment of profound unrest and uncertainty about the future. It is a dark but lucid vision, a moving novel about the bleak realities that battle our desire for transcendence and the power of love and friendship to redeem us.
Praise For American Rust…
Praise for American Rust
"I admire [Philipp Meyer's] writing so much. The same way,
frankly, that I do Hemingway. [Mr. Meyer] ought to win the Pulitzer." –Patricia Cornwell, from a New York Times interview
"Remarkable…introduces a novelist worth celebrating and watching."
–USA Today, Bob Minzesheimer
"Philipp Meyer's powerful first novel…everything about this story seems essentially American…in the tradition that stretches from Ernest Hemingway to Cormac McCarthy. Meyer's tone is less polemic than John Steinbeck's, but he's working on the same broad scale."
–Ron Charles, The Washington Post
"Philipp Meyer's affecting first novel, "American Rust…" [has] the same sort of social detail and emotional verisimilitude that Richard Russo has brought to his depictions of upstate New York…he's also able to demonstrate a keen, Salinger-esque empathy. American Rust announces the arrival of a gifted new writer – a writer who understands how place and personality and circumstance can converge to create the perfect storm of tragedy."
–Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"A hardboiled debut that seems particularly apt during the financial crisis"
–The Wall Street Journal
"Reminiscent of William Faulkner…Meyer knows more about the meaning of redemption than most other contemporary American novelists. He also knows how to write a compelling story."
–The Baltimore Sun
"A literary thriller…lives up to the hype."
–Austin American-Statesman
"Novelists spend entire careers trying to write even one classic book. Philipp Meyer has accomplished that feat on his first attempt. American Rust might one day be recognized as one of our great American novels."
– The Dayton Daily News
"immediate and compelling, and signals the arrival of a new literary voice."
–Cleveland Plain Dealer
"full of a sorrowful hope that is graced by a profound respect for struggle and the unrelenting courage necessary to carry on."
–Kansas City Star
"In contemporary fiction, Meyer…most resembles Andre Dubus, Dennis Lehane or Richard Price."
–The Dallas Morning News
"With the recent passing of John Updike and the loss of Kurt Vonnegut last year, the American literary landscape is faced with a gaping void… fortunately for us, as readers, there are occasional reasons to hope. Philipp Meyer's debut novel, "American Rust," is one of those reasons."
–Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star
"Already drawing comparisons to Hemingway and Cormac McCarthy, Philipp Meyer paints a dark and timely vision of small-town life in his ambitious debut novel, American Rust….combines the muscular pleasures of a Dennis Lehane thriller with a far-reaching meditation about where we're headed as a country."
–The Daily Beast
"[A] ruthless and powerful book…." –Time Out New York (five star review)
"an engrossing drama..."
–Marie Claire
"Meyer builds his characters so strongly and so realistically that they are characters who stay with readers long after they finish this compelling novel."
–Birmingham Press & Sun Bulletin
"a brilliantly realized story…Philipp Meyer is a fine writer and he has nailed [it]."
–The Morning News, Robert Birnbaum
"a great read...has the feel of a true classic...highly recommended."
–Monsters & Critics
"Meyer has a thrilling eye for failed dreams and writes uncommonly tense scenes of violence . . . Fans of Cormac McCarthy or Dennis Lehane will find in Meyer an author worth watching."—Publishers Weekly
"Powerful…brilliantly drawn…Unlike Hemingway or McCarthy, Meyer knows how to create heartbreakingly real female characters…Meyer's tone is less polemic than John Steinbeck's, but he's working on the same broad scale, using the struggles of a few desperate people to portray the tragedy of life in a place that offers no employment, no chance for improvement."
–Washington Post
"Meyer is a young talent to watch closely…Meyer's tempo is exceptional…A special novel well worth reading."
–Fredericksburg Freelance Star
"Meyer's greatest strength as a novelist lies in his poignantly well-rounded characters…strongly recommended for all…fiction collections."
–Library Journal
"Meyer does a terrific job capturing the tone and ethos of his setting…the alternating narrators are compellingly drawn…a grimly powerful hybrid: provocative literary fiction crossed with a propulsive thriller."
"In a third-person narrative that moves round-robin style from one character to the next, Meyer deftly captures individual speech patterns...never ceases to display a gift for evoking setting…."
"A novel as splendidly crafted and original as any written in recent decades, American Rust is both darkly disturbing and richly compelling. Philipp Meyer's first novel signals the arrival of a new voice in American letters."—Patricia Cornwell, author of Scarpetta
"With its strong narrative engine and understated social insight, American Rust is reminiscent of the best of Robert Stone and Russell Banks. Author Philipp Meyer locates the heart of his working class characters without false sentiment or condescension, and their world is artfully described. An extraordinary, compelling novel from a major talent."—George Pelecanos, author of The Turnaround
"This is strong, clean stuff. Philipp Meyer deserves to be taken seriously."—Pete Dexter, author of Paper Trails
"Philipp Meyer's American Rust is written with considerable dramatic intensity and pace. It manages an emotional accuracy, a deep and detailed conviction in its depiction of character. It also captures a sense of a menacing society, a wider world in the throes of decay and self-destruction."—Colm Tóibín, author of The Master

text: Preschoolers Everyday Care Print The HighScope Method of Teaching for Active Learners By Amanda Rock twitter linkedin Amanda Rock, mom of three, has spent more than a decade of her professional career writing and editing for parents and children. Learn about our editorial policy Amanda Rock Updated on June 29, 2019 Image Source / Getty Images More in Preschoolers Everyday Care Behavior & Emotions Health & Safety If your preschooler is a self-starter who you think would enjoy being involved in the various steps of planning the learning process, then the HighScope method may be something you want to look into when you are choosing a preschool. The HighScope Method in the Classroom Active learning, complete with hands-on experiences is the driving force behind the HighScope method. Students are encouraged to choose what materials they would like to use and teachers are in place to support and guide. For example, if a child is showing an interest in the solar system, a HighScope teacher may encourage him or her to build a model of the planets. Through a version of scaffolding, children are encouraged by their teacher to take the next step in learning. "When HighScope says adults support and extend children's learning, it means that the adults first validate, or support, what children already know, and then, when the time is right, gently encourage them to extend their thinking to the next level," according to the group in a statement. The program takes an "intentional learning" approach to education that makes teachers and children active partners. A daily routine is designed to help children understand what happens next and usually includes time outside, computer work and group interaction time. The HighScope classroom is a busy one, with students often working on different things in center-type environments. While there is a lot of independent work, coming together as a group is highly encouraged. Having students share what they have learned with their peers is an important part of the HighScope method, as it encourages independent learning and thinking throughout the classroom. The HighScope Curriculum The curriculum has eight main focuses: Approaches to LearningSocial and Emotional DevelopmentPhysical Development and HealthLanguage, Literacy, and CommunicationMathematicsCreative ArtsScience and TechnologySocial Studies. These areas are then broken down into 58 "key developmental indicators" (formerly called "key experiences") that include singing and role-playing. The length of the school day varies by program and may be part-day or full-day. To assess a child's development, HighScope uses the Preschool COR (Child Observation Record) as well as their own Preschool Program Quality Assessment (PQA). The HighScope Educational Research Foundation is an independent nonprofit organization that "promotes the development of children and youth worldwide and supports educators and parents as they help children learn." Their headquarters are in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The Mission of HighScope Aside from developing curricula for early learners, the foundation has an assortment of missions, including: Offering professional development and training for educators, administrators, caregivers and other early childhood expertsConducts studies that explore all facets of early childhood educationPublishes and produces books, DVDs and other educational materials that support the HighScope method of teaching and learning The HighScope method was founded in 1970 as part of the Perry Preschool Project, a project created to provide early childhood education to young children from poor families in Ypsilanti, Michigan. As part of the project, children who were enrolled in the program participated in a study to find out how preschool affected their academics. The study was a boost to the program, finding that the children enrolled in a program using the HighScope method were: More likely to have graduated from high schoolCommitted fewer crimesWere more likely to be employedEarned more than those who did not go to preschool or did not participate in a HighScope program Choosing the Right Preschool Curriculum for Your Child Was this page helpful?

Eggstyle - Oldsmar8/26/2012 10:34:00 PM
Ready for some breakfast grub with a healthy flare? Check out Eggstyle in Oldsmar. I love the name and also the atmosphere here at Eggstyle. It's a fresh twist to your chain breakfast restaurants with a brighter environment and amazing waitresses.
The colorful menu available doesn't just serve up eggs but all sorts of food from sandwiches, pancakes, toast, crepes, smoothies and so much more. It's like a breakfast heaven!
I started off with a smoothie full of berries and yogurt. I was a big fan of this smoothie because it was not overly sweet and is made to serve. I did have a few large chunks of frozen fruits in my smoothie but I didn't mind too much.
Eggstyle serves up a big heaping amount of food with a big taste for a cheap price. Its actually cheaper than your breakfast chains near by. I was excited to eat and quickly order up some yummy food.
Tons of meat, potatoes and eggs. What else do you need? Oh and some cinnamon apple for a sweet ending. The food was all perfectly cooked and the potatoes were crispy and soft inside. This was a meal made to fill up any stomach.
I thought the crepes were really too thick and I know the waitress told us that it was thick to keep the blueberries intact but it was nothing like a crepe to me. More doughy and not as delicate and thin as a real crepe.
Good try though!
I personally would come here again for more breakfast food. I am not a big breakfast person but I do enjoy it once in awhile. I am a big fan of the juice bar and love the fresh and decorative meals Eggstyle serves.

In a divorce proceeding, alimony may be granted to one of the spouses. Alimony requires the wealthier partner to financially support the dependent partner through periodic payments. This arrangement often continues until the financial situation of the dependent partner changes. The remarriage of the alimony recipient can alter the conditions of alimony payments.
When you have questions about alimony, the knowledgeable Oceanside divorce lawyers of Fischer & Van Thiel, LLP, may be able to help. Call us at (760) 621-7101 to find out more about alimony payments and the effects of remarriage on your divorce settlement.
Does Remarriage Nullify an Alimony Agreement?
Different alimony contracts have different clauses. Certain types of payments, such as child support, may be unaffected by remarriage. In some cases, however, all payments may be subject to modification. The specific circumstances of your alimony agreement will determine how remarriage affects your payments. Remarriage can provide a basis for:
- Ceasing alimony payments
- Decreasing the amount of alimony owed
- Altering the frequency of alimony
Generally, these changes do not take effect automatically upon remarriage. One or both ex-spouses may need to take action to revise the alimony agreement in accordance with new financial realities. This process can be complicated and will require case-specific solutions. An experienced spousal support lawyer may be able to ease the transition into a new alimony agreement.
Contact Us
Call the Oceanside divorce lawyers at Fischer & Van Thiel, LLP, to learn more about this important financial aspect of divorce and remarriage. We have years of experience helping clients understand the legal ramifications of major life decisions such as divorce and remarriage. You can discuss your situation with a spousal support attorney by calling (760) 621-7101.

There was speculation among US-based China experts this week that the White House was growing increasingly frustrated with China and could change policies and move closer to Taiwan, even agreeing to sell it new weapon systems.
However, sources close to the administration of US President Barack Obama told the Taipei Times that it was not considering a change in policy.
And while there were concerns about Beijing's recent belligerence — particularly in the East and South China seas — Taiwan was unlikely to be involved in any US reaction.
Much of the speculation was triggered by an article written by George Washington University professor Robert Sutter, who said the Obama administration had adopted a harder public line against China's actions and had deepened security cooperation with allies and others threatened by Chinese provocation.
Published on the Center for Strategic and International Studies Web site, the article has been the subject of much discussion by other China experts, with some claiming that Sutter was reflecting the administration's thinking.
The article was reported in the Taipei Times yesterday.
"Careful consideration needs to be given to options that focus on the many weaknesses and vulnerabilities China faces in dealing with the US," Sutter wrote.
Among other options, Sutter suggested the US could complicate Chinese defense plans and overall strategy toward Taiwan by allowing the sale of 66 F-16C/D jets "long sought by the Taiwan government."
"Another option would involve a more active US posture in support of Taiwanese free expression and identity represented by the so-called Sunflower movement on the island," he said.
One source close to the administration said no one in a policymaking position had suggested selling the F-16C/Ds to Taiwan as a response to China's moves.
Another source said no serious consideration was being given right now to any new arms sales to Taiwan, and a senior Democratic source in the US Congress confirmed that situation.
US-Taiwan Business Council president Rupert Hammond-Chambers echoed the comments.
"I haven't heard anything that suggests a change in course for the Obama administration regarding Taiwan," he said in response to questions from the Taipei Times.
Hammond-Chambers said he did not see a change in the administration's posture concerning arms sales to the nation.
"The Obama administration has made a clear decision to freeze arms sales to Taiwan in exchange for military-to-military relations with China," he said.
"It is a false choice, but one that became manifest post the decision to upgrade Taiwan's F-16s, but not sell new fighters," Hammond-Chambers said.
"That decision was telegraphed to the Chinese when then-US secretary of defense [Leon] Panetta admitted China had been given a 'heads up' on the sale. That incidentally was a violation of the six assurances," he said.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The Lees-McRae College Track & Field programs put together a strong showing at the Conference Carolinas Indoor Championships Sunday in Winston-Salem, N.C. The men's team finished fourth, while the women's squad notched a seventh place finish. Overall, four athletes broke school records and three have earned spots on the qualifying list to perhaps compete in the NCAA National Indoor Championships next month.
"It was a good conference meet on the men's side," said LMC Head Coach Ley Fletcher. "We had several top three finishes and the fourth-place team finish is the best finish we have ever had in the indoor championships."
Cody McNeely won the Men's 800m Run to lead the men's squad. Among the other top finishers Sunday was Kendall Isler who finished second in the triple jump with a leap of 14.37m. Even though Isler did not win the event, he did break the school record in the event with his jump on Sunday. Additionally, freshman Haanes Huyuck also broke a school record in the 60m Hurdles with a time of 8.36 and finished third.
"On the women's side I was very proud of the way we competed," remarked Fletcher. "Whenever you get two individual championship performances and they accomplish national qualifying marks that is a very good day."
The two individual champions for the Bobcats were Mekayla Boswell in the jump and Erin Bingham in the 60m Hurdles. Boswell and Bingham not only won their respective events but they also earned national qualifying marks and broke school records in those events as well.
"We will take a day off tomorrow and get back to work on Tuesday," Fletcher said. "We will try to keep getting better as the outdoor season will be approaching shortly."

mLearning StrategyWhen you want to seriously address the capability of your organization to take advantage of mobile learning, you need a strategic approach. You need to truly understand mobile learning and performance, review your organization's readiniess, and plan short-, medium-, and long-term steps. This requires not only getting the ideas right, but contextualizing them for your organization. This is very much a partnership engagement in developing your plan. In this sort of engagement you will typically:
- have an initial consultation call to determine desired outcomes
- fill out a questionnaire that ascertains where your organization is at
- receive a two-day visit of workshop and consultation to develop a shared understanding and understand your situation
- receive a detailed strategy document for your organization and a presentation deck to help sell it internally
Workshops & PresentationsClark has a well-established and well-deserved reputation as a speaker and workshop facilitator. His mobile learning workshops (as well as game-design, deeper instructional design, elearning strategy, and other workshops) receive high marks! His presentations are always thought-provoking and engaging.

When riders cross the finish line this afternoon in the Tour de Grandview Cycling Classic, a cycling-filled weekend will end 100 miles from where it started.
When riders cross the finish line this afternoon in the Tour de Grandview Cycling Classic, a cycling-filled weekend will end 100 miles from where it started.
That isn't the length of the Grandview Heights races, now in their 19th year; it's the distance between the city and the starting line for another race that started the weekend, outside of Cincinnati.
Starting last year, three Ohio bicycle races pooled their hopes and resources. Race sponsors were hard to come by, and purses were dwindling. The Tour de Grandview and Cincinnati's Hyde Park Blast still were likely to survive, but to keep thriving, they required a shake-up. Independent preparation wasn't working.
"It can be difficult because you end up cannibalizing each other's events," said Julie Whitley, president of the Grandview Community Association, which organizes the local event.
Schedules were aligned - the new Madeira Centennial Criterium in the Cincinnati suburb on Friday, the Blast yesterday and the Tour de Grandview today - in hopes that more riders would come.
And they did.
Registration was up 25 to 30 percent for each race in 2010, Grandview promoter Kirk Albers said.
"All three of them together, we coordinate marketing to draw some more elite riders and sort of mutually benefit each other," he said.
Now that the races' relationship is established, Albers said, he expected similar registration results this year, but he wouldn't have final numbers until today.
Previously, the Hyde Park Blast and Tour de Grandview competed for entrants, said Albers, a veteran of both and a two-time Grandview winner. With the new setup, cyclists can save on travel by hitting all three in a row.
And to go along with Grandview's $6,000 purse - $3,500 for the feature professional race - the best finishers in the tripleheader will have a shot at an additional lump of prize money, another incentive to enter all three.
North Royalton resident Paul Martin raced in each last year and is doing so again. A Tour de Grandview competitor since 1996, he said he appreciates the agreement.
"You're going to attract many riders from out of state when you have three races like this that are such high quality," said Martin, 38. "There are guys literally from around the world that are coming to race."
The winner of the 2009 Tour de Grandview, Emile Abraham, is from Trinidad and Tobago.
Though Martin likes the addition of Madeira, with its hairpin turns, his favorite of the three will always be Grandview. It's the hardest, he said, but it fits him.
"I've won there and had some success," said Martin, who rides as part of Team Panther, sponsored by Ohio-based Panther Expedited Services. "When you do a race at a place for 15 years in a row, you kind of figure out how to be successful there."

NYC Seeks Proposals for Sandy-Damaged Coney Island Creek Towns
The New York City Economic Development Corp. has issued a request for proposals to conduct a feasibility study for flood protection of Superstorm Sandy-damaged neighborhoods adjacent to Brooklyn's Coney Island Creek. Also under consideration are waterfront access and quality improvements to these communities, as well as stormwater management and economic development, the agency said in a May 16 announcement.
The feasibility study, which NYCEDC will manage on behalf of the Mayor's Office of Recovery and Resiliency, is scheduled to commence this fall and evaluate a tidal barrier and wetlands concept that the city put in place after the October 2012 superstorm. The initiative is one of 257 under the city's A Stronger, More Resilient New York resiliency plan that aims to provide an "unprecedented level of coastal risk reduction for some of the most vulnerable and low-lying neighborhoods in the city," NYCEDC says.
"New York City's 520 miles of shoreline are critical to our economic development strategy, and we must continue to do everything we can to strengthen the important connection between local communities and the waterfront," says Kyle Kimball, NYCEDC president Kyle Kimball.
"The study will also identify opportunities for early investments that could provide near-term flood protection with already available funds, while not precluding further action," NYCEDC says.
I want to hear from you. Tell me how we can improve.

Not Saving The World? How Does That Even Work?
Over at Tor.com, Jo Walton notices no one 'saves the world' in Scott Lynch's excellent Lies of Locke Lamora series:
Full Story: HEREWhere saving the world came into fantasy was with The Lord of the Rings, and where Tolkien got it from was from Christianising Ragnarok. In Norse Mythology, the world is going to be destroyed and that's all there is to it. It's the inevitable end. There are versions where a couple of Thor's sons will survive to see a new world, but in any case, this world that we love and care about will end in battle and destruction and dead heroes will rise again to fight at the side of the gods and be destroyed again and that's the end. It's inevitable. It's always there. In writing LOTR Tolkien went with this kind of end of everything—if Sauron wins, there won't even be anyone left to sing songs or tell stories. The ultimate victory of good, which happens through the operation of grace and not through the will (never mind power) of the heroes, is Tolkien's Christianising of this deeply pagan myth. It was a very original thing to do, that eucatastrope.

I haven't written since December 2011. You'd think this was a hint that this blog is dead, but you'd be... well... right. I unknowingly killed this blog. But the sprites of it will live on.
Currently, my alter ego/janitorial staffer Andy is reworking his own life. I/he finished a Master's degree in Boston in Publishing & Writing and a personal website. He keeps me dusted, but the life of a student is tough to keep up with.
But he promises a next step, with my help: Aviary 3.0: The Semanticking. Or Bird of a Nation, the likely renaming of this circa-2003 blog. Development is a few months of development off, as money and time are tight. It may even take a year. But it will come.
But I do have a Twitter account, like everyone else.

Eaglie. Born December 5, 2001. Ten years ago.
You argue that he's only nine years old. You also were that horrible person who insisted the year 2000 wasn't the turn of the millennium and you are going to ruin Christmas this year.
Why does December 5th stick around? Why not July 4th?
I've told the story before. It is the day I first typed the name "Eaglie" as my label.
In the years since, I've discovered new reasons to keep the date:
Prohibition ended on December 5, 1933. That's when Americans ratified the 21st Amendment. As Ken Burns put it, Prohibition was the only time the U.S. Constitution was amended—key word: amended—to take away freedom rather than add to it. All other amendments have been meant to give Americans more freedom... or to add term limits. (And I'll add a personal story I told a few years back.)
And then, going through family documents, I learned my grandmother—my oma, as I'd call her if I'd known her—became an American that day. A German naturalized to an American citizen. My dad remembered his dad being so proud of her. And she was just as proud.
To me as an American (and as me), December 5th is as important as July 4th.

"Ten years ago" is a sorry way to lead a post on Sept. 11th, 2011. It would've had impact nine years ago. Not today.
The time I'm writing this, late on 09/11/11, I have heard "Empire State of Mind" far more than is comfortable, thanks to a Spike Lee commercial. I saw soldiers, Clydesdales, and a lot of small children attempt to warm the cockles of my heart. Some moments did, some didn't.
Simon Garfunkel was fine.
Questions remain ten years later. For example, at the WTC site memorial, how clogged with pennies will those twin reflecting pools get? And real questions like: where does our nation go from here? Where does Eaglie go from here?
I've said it before: Eaglie was forged that day of watching CNN on the crappy televisions in the school dining hall. The admin office gasping. Senor Kennedy crying. The F-16 patrol around the Chicago skyline shadowing us. Mr. Stonich teaching. And you'd have to know Mr. Stonich to know EXACTLY what that means.
More than any other event, the explosions shaped this character of mine. So I take this selfish moment to ask that question: where DOES Eaglie go from here? Maybe the next few months will tell. I AM working my mojo in a tech class.
On that ambiguous note, here's an archive of my September 11th posts (because you ever so wanted it). Apparently I didn't have a post in 2003:

My first brush with Harry Potter began with someone shoving a copy of Goblet of Fire next to my face and shouting, "It's uncanny!" And I pretended I knew exactly what the book was and exactly who the boy on the cover was.
Years later, the Lord of the Rings Versus Harry Potter rivalry began. Movies and midnight releases galore. But I avoided the Boy Who Looked A Lot Like Me.
Then I let up for the release of Order of the Phoenix. I started with the first book. And the second book. And the third book the next day. By this point, Lord of the Rings was winning Oscars and there wasn't much of a comparison.
Then I got the final book on my 21st birthday. (True story. A good story, really.) I guess I've grown up with the series, and it all ends tonight with a movie, Part Two of Two. No more, despite what the stupid website implies. With all this nearly behind us, I figured I'd share some of the better stuff I've written at this blog (most in my compatriot character Eaglie's voice):

Happy July 4th to anyone stumbling upon this page! Especially Americans, since it is our holiday. This holiday rings with such celebratory excitement and glee (not joy--that's saved for Christmas) that I can't help but sing along. Read the Declaration, read some satire of the Declaration... the usual American things.
And despite all our misgivings, all our wars, debts, and general stupidity, there's always room to bask in the awesomeness of our country. People STILL love coming here. SMART people. For example, British author Simon Winchester is getting his citizenship today after living in this country for years.
It's gallant of a proper British chap become an American this day and age--and aboard a warship that stood cannon-to-cannon against the British in 1812 to boot! Not many Americans can say that. None that I know personally. I'm almost jealous.

You thought Eaglie and the Aviary was dead. (It's been since January since we've posted.) Well, we're not, which is more than I can say for some terrorists. We're more than alive. But things are moving fast: it's May 5th again, meaning it's the 8th anniversary of the beginning of this blog. The eggs of plans are coming up, I swear. I have billions of them to lay.
But, a word during this second post of 2011: nearly a decade ago, an idea began in the ash of a terrible September. A few months later, the chill of a December night created Eaglie. Two years later and Eaglie was blogging.
Eaglie was a high school student's product of a tragedy perpetrated by a terrible man with a beard. A teenager's image of a failing empire. A bird watcher's binocular view gone loony.
But maybe we aren't as bad off as we expected: democracy is in everyone's hearts and wings all these years later. As bin Laden gets a seaweed makeover, the Arab Spring continues to bloom and liberate peoples in the Middle East. And not to stand by and allow the Arabs all the credit, maybe America did usher in a new world order. Maybe the USA'll last long enough to see it! And maybe the Aviary helped!
Of course it did.

Repeal Day and my birthday mix well, even if I was mostly alone. I spent the day drinking hot toddies alone due to a sore throat. (Yes, birds get sore throats.) Phlegm was coming out of every hole in my beak, and that isn't healthy for a human, let alone a bird. However, we've learned in the past few decades that alcohol solves everything, and you can't ban it, unless it makes your heart explode. You can ban it then.
Business-wise: I've been out of contact and not blogging, but still I should mention I've planned out a trip to Chicago for Christmas with Andy. I'll head with him and go see my parents in downstate Illinois. They're getting ready to fly a bit south. Eagles and humans have the same instincts in this way.

The House was called for the GOP a while ago. The Senate is leaning Democratic, but barely. The GOP is probably going to take a few extra governors' mansions and get to gerrymander to their hearts' content. And our cake was ruined.
But I need to say about this situation: it looks bad for sure. All our plans seem ruined. Dinner, certainly. But it's nothing to worry about.
There is an equal chance to ruin and satisfy on a day like this. When the smoke clears, we just have to deal with the situation we're in. Some people even like burnt cake. For the next two years, they get to have their way and eat it, too. But I get my way sometimes. So I don't worry.

There's a lack of control in my life today. I feel the need to sit on a couch and tell people that I'm at the mercy of all too many crazies.

Out of the woodworks in the past two years came the Tea Party here in America. I know this is old news, but they've been terrifying the populace, eating brains, and spreading by virus and dogma. Thankfully, it hasn't crossed the borders into Mexico or gone overseas yet.
One must be careful these days as these "Tea Baggers" attack shopping malls and town halls, not to mention undocumented housekeepers. One must speak softly and carry a shotgun. And it needs to be loaded with bullets rather than logic. They're immune to logic at this point.
Top scientists race and hope to find a cure someday. Or at least a vaccine for those of us to fight back with. First we have to find the gene that makes people innately angry and unreasonable. It might involve a healthier economic climate with growth in stocks and consumer spending, leading to swift job creation and a steady increase in the market, leading to a smaller trade gap and a lessened national debt. But only the top scientists can tell us in time.
Good Halloween night, and good luck, America.

Washington is a lovely-sounding city where I've almost never been except when I went that one time with Andy and his family and saw everything but the kitchen sink of the Library of Congress. Of course the Library of Congress has a kitchen! It also has a Make-Out Point! That's in the ,69.SUTRA stacks. (Over 5,000 editions and almost as many positions!)
Though the link to that trip's log is long broken. I should fix that.

I don't know much about this place yet, but I expected on September 22nd to see all the leaves to burst into flame and dance in the wind. Instead, I see a lot of misty skies, rain, and, once in a while mixed in, an 80-degree day.
Not to mention school. There's always schoolwork when I should be out playing with friends outside with a light jacket on. I should be making Ol' Man Witteker mad after he spent his whole day raking! But I don't have any time to jump in the leaf piles! And there aren't even any on the ground yet! Five whole days into October!

Me and Andy leave Chicago for one minute and everything in Chicago happens!
Unless you live under a rock or somewhere besides the Chicagoland-Northwest Indiana area, you've heard that Mayor Richard M. Daley of Chicago will not run for a seventh term. That means, in May, for the first time in 21 years, a Daley will not be Mayor of Chicago. And in the past 55 years, Daleys have handled 42.
Without King Richard II, there would've been much less graft. Okay, you're killing me. This is CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, we're talking about. There will ALWAYS be graft. And greed. And corruption. And governors getting fitted for stripes.
The difference is that Richie Daley knew how to work that system. Very, very well. I mean, he looks almost clean! Other mayors have always struggled to hold the feuding factions (blacks, whites, Hispanics, the Polish) of the city together.
He (and his father) worked this system to make the City of Chicago into what it is today. A shining jewel of the Midwest--the sparkling center of a region that's turned to rust.
Richie has been mayor a super-majority of my life. I shed a tear for him. REALLY! I will miss him, and I worry for my city without him.

American exceptionalism: we take exception to the game of soccer. When the World Cup kicked off last Friday, I figured something out: there is something distinctly un-American about soccer. We Americans like scores. We like close-ups. We like tackling without sliding. We like funny commercials. Ad companies (i.e. Americans) like funny commercials. Let's see:
___ Scoring
___ Close-ups of awesome action during the game
___ Tackling (without sliding)
___ Funny commercials, maybe involving a cute baby
___ Americans winning
No checks. Soccer fails this list miserably, so most Americans aren't going to like soccer very soon. The ones that will aren't me.
But, hey! USA tied a game with England last Saturday! We might do pretty well in this bracket! Go Team USA! Beat Slovenia and Algeria next! And go Soccer! WOOOOO! BUUZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!

Not exactly rare things these days, but all these things, all the while, oil leaked out of the earth and into our seafood.
Sigh. I will resign on this. There is no hope. That squeeze bottle of cocktail sauce in my fridge... so much will be wasted.

I have nine hours in Gotham to do everything from tap-dancing on gilded streets to ice-skating on the roof of Rockefeller Center. At least I imagine this will be the case. I can't go many places because the flight lands at 10 pm and leaves for Chicago again at 9 am. It's late for gallivanting in New York, but Andy and I will be fine. We can make it there. No "if."
Wednesday, May 05, 2010
May 5th, 2003, was the day I first posted. I still was Andy then. As I still am, for anyone wanting to inform on me to Arkam Asylum.
Seven years, and I've both loved and neglected her since. So this State of the Blog? Most would say that when you're posting once every two weeks, the state is not good. I would agree.
Maybe the answer lies in change, as our president reminded us many times the past three years. But what is "Change"? Twitter? Probably not the only answer. Deleting this blog? Would never cross my mind. A completely new way of going about this blog? Maybe. I don't fear change.
Speaking of which: soon enough, I'll be moving to Boston to start grad school. Yes, I said I was moving to Boston. Maybe it's there that the Bird of a Nation will come back to life, and where better but 200 miles away from the City of Brotherly Love for a fictional symbol of freedom to spread his wings? Oh, and there's all that Freedom Trail bullshit in Boston, too.
So: in good and bad times, in sickness and in health, in pursuit of happiness, I say cheers to my Aviary. May she live forever.

"The content of the five days was well balanced with regards to the mix between theoretical aspects, practising skills and putting it all into action. Despite my relatively limited previouse experience, you managed to deliever the right amount of encouragement, allowing me to exceed my own expectations whilst always feeling safe. Ledge route was definitely the highlight of the week. The course has really improved my confidence and definitely emphasized my enthusiasm for the mountains."
Dave Sampson, Winter Mountaineering.
"We spent 2 days winter climbing with Scott, under his instruction he helped us develop existing skills and learn much more. His professionalism, skill and attitude gave us confidence, inspiration and a standard to aim for, while at every moment being humble and eager to share and give us as much of his knowledge as possible. We cannot thank him enough and highly recommend him"
Camo & James, Winter Climbing
"I thought you were an absolutely superb companion with endless patience and the choice of routes was well judged given the restricted conditions we had. You were protective of me as your client through-out the whole weekend and it was a pleasure climbing with you."

Vargo adds mobility, analytics modules to WES platform
By DC Velocity Staff
Warehouse execution software (WES) provider Vargo today said it has added two modules, one for mobility and the other for analytics, to its "Continuous Order Fulfillment Engine," known as COFE.
The "COFE View Mobility" gives decision-makers access to real-time information about their distribution center operations without being tied to a desktop, laptop, or workstation, Hilliard, Ohio-based Vargo said. From any device, managers can set daily production goals and track performance against those goals by shift. The system will provide early warning on performance and production issues to give managers ample time to react, Vargo said. It also helps allocate appropriate labor resources based on production goals and will recommend resource reallocation, if necessary, using actual production rates, Vargo said.
Managers will also be able to turn equipment on and off from their device without having to return to a desktop or control room, Vargo said.
The "COFE View Analytics module" provides managers with all of the features of the Mobility package as well as the ability to measure, visualize, and manage operations in real time to a much more granular level. It also offers flexibility to build individual custom statistical and analytical reports, Vargo said.
The module allows decision-makers to view visual presentations of operational data in a more in-depth way, to drill deeper into data for more granular details, to track and evaluate key performance indicators (KPIs), and to develop online dashboards and visualizations to improve processes, Vargo said. This reduces the need to sift through multiple external reports as well as the need to export data from various systems into another application to build cross-system reports and analytics.
The two modules, which must be purchased as a package, are expected to be available either late in the second quarter or sometime in the third quarter, Vargo said.
For more information, see the Vargo website.

A number of Manchester's best companies that provide services to the eCommerce industry will be exhibiting at this years eCommerce Show North.
MEC, CTI Digital, Space48, Endless Gain and UKFast are just a few of the names set to take stands at the show to help drive new business leads and network.
The eCommerce Show North will be taking place across two days at EventCity in Manchester on 11th & 12th October 2017. The expo will feature some of the biggest names in online retail sharing their expertise through seminars, workshops, demonstrations and more. Confirmed speakers include Mick Style, CEO at MEC Manchester, and Phil Horn, Sales Director at Steamhaus. Alongside this, a number of networking rooms will also be set up, creating a fantastic opportunity for buyers, suppliers and new clients to make beneficial connections.
The free to attend event is set to be the biggest ever eCommerce gathering outside of London, and is heavily anticipated within the Manchester eCommerce community.
Darren Ratcliffe, Founder of Digitl, a leading Magento agency, expressed how the community aspect of the expo makes it a heavily anticipated occasion: 'eCommerce Show North is something our city has needed for years – and it's great at last to have the event taking place. The North has some fantastic businesses here to support people with their multi-channel operations.'
For some, the existence of the expo itself is an exciting indicator of industry changes. Lawrence Jones, CEO of cloud hosting company UKFast, said, 'A decade ago there was a perceived gap in digital capability between North and South, whether that was correct or not. Manchester has proven itself as a hub for eCommerce excellence, with brands like Missguided, Late Rooms, BooHoo, AO.com, and of course UKFast.'
Located next to the Trafford Centre, eCommerce Show North will be spread across 6000m2. All stands and seminars will be found in one huge, easy to navigate space, including networking and coffee areas.
Martyn Collins from eCommerce Show North said, 'The North is home to so many influential names in eCommerce, and we are thrilled to create a platform for them all to come together. The eCommerce industry in the north has experienced unprecedented growth over the past few years, with research from eBay confirming that Manchester, Lancashire and West Yorkshire are the top three regions in the UK for the number of online businesses. EventCity will give everyone from the small start-ups to the industry giants a place to teach, network and observe. Connections made over the two days could impact the next decade of eCommerce dealings. The sector is booming and shows no sign of slowing down – Northern talent won't be left behind, so there's no better time than now to put it in the spotlight.'
To register head over to the eCommerce Show North website, fill out your details and your badge will be emailed directly to you. Alternatively, you can purchase a priority pass which guarantees your place in one of our theatres ensuring you don't miss out on that speaker you've been looking forward to.

Malnutrition in spinal cord injury: more than nutritional deficiency.
Medical Department, Rehabilitation Center Amyntaio, General Hospital of Florina, 2nd km National Road Amyntaio-Thessaloniki, 53200, Amyntaio, Florina, Greece. Email: email@example.com.
Denervation of the spinal cord below the level of injury leads to complications producing malnutrition. Nutritional status affects mortality and pathology of injured subjects and it has been reported that two thirds of individuals enrolled in rehabilitation units are malnourished. Therefore, the aim should be either to maintain an optimal nutritional status, or supplement these subjects in order to overcome deficiencies in nutrients or prevent obesity. This paper reviews methods of nutritional assessment and describes the physiopathological mechanisms of malnutrition based on the assumption that spinal cord injured subjects need to receive adequate nutrition to promote optimal recovery, placing nutrition as a first line treatment and not an afterthought in the rehabilitation of spinal cord injury.

Some of our favorites in Europe
"Great help in organization and travel arrangements. The surf classes were really amazing, a great experience in life. Cliff Surf Camp is comfortable and the staff is really nice, just the perfect place for us. Enjoyed every moment."
"Just finished 5 days of lessons at Camino at Camping Valdovino - the campsite and surf camp were super chilled, the Camino team really friendly, and our lessons with Emily were fantastic - met some great people, wish we could have stayed longer!"
"I loved staying at the surfcamp and the island is amazing. Also great waves for beginners"
"We enjoyed our stay a lot. The Stuff incl. the instructors are cool guys and the camp is really nice."
"My experience in Ferrel Surf house was perfect! The house is wonderful with a beautiful view especially during the sunset. very well equipped kitchen. Beautiful, spacious, comfortable and very clean rooms. Calm - perfect for a relax before and after surfing. "
"Huuuuh...what to say? Exhausting :D If you're looking for a place where you could easily combine surfing whit awesome parties, then you found the right place. There was pretty cool gang of people to hang out with. Guys from all over the Europe, all looking for party an waves - and an awsome surf week can begin. That was my first time at stoke camp, but definitely not the last!"
Europe is always worth a visit
Surfing in Europe is a social affair
Getting social and mingling with other surf addicts is the order of the day here as the vast majority of our surf trips in Europe base you at surf camps, however, not all surf camps are made the same. They may all be part of the same continent but our selection of France, Portugal, Spain, and the Canary Islands trips offer very diverse destination experiences. You may think that it's just about the surf but after a few days, you will realize that a European adventure is a mix of surf, scene, and incredible memories.
So much to see and do on your european surf trip
Daily surf trips are the order of the day, but a trip to Europe offers you more than just the most incredible surf. Lively nightlife, beautiful beaches, traditional fishing villages, culturally rich cities and countryside and epic mountain scenery are just a few of the sights and sounds you will be able to take in between sets of epic surf.
Europe got world class waves as far as the eye can see
Europe is underrated - period. Europe is often overlooked as a world class surf destination and people opt for more tropical options like Hawaii, Indonesia or the Maldives instead. BIG MISTAKE! Europe has everything a surfer's heart desires. From big long pointbreaks in Portugal to powerful beach breaks in France to heavy slabs in Ireland or relatively warm-ish water in the Canaries, Europe is a surfing paradise that should get a lot more love than it currently does.
