Portland Local Scene Spotlight: The Quick and Easy Boys
Some cities dont even have a national jamband scene, let alone a local one, which makes it nice to live in a town like Portland, Oregon. We are strategically perched on the west coast in between the major markets of San Francisco and Seattle which makes us a convenient destination (albeit mostly a mid-week destination) for most major national music acts. Our local scene is small but active and percolates with a few different flavors. Bands like Jack Straw and Cross-Eyed Rosie are the more bluegrass oriented ones in the scene. Then there are the resident staples like Scott Law, Tye North, Asher Fulero, and Jerry Joseph who all call Portland home and jam out at many local venues. An emerging scene exists here, as well, with young bands like The Mood Doculators and Mars Retrieval Unit gaining traction recently. My personal favorite of the newer local acts to see here in Portland is called The Quick and Easy Boys.
Walking into the Goodfoot Lounge one mid-week evening a few months ago, I was excited to see a show from Baltimores own The Bridge. Showing up early, I was in time for the opening band, a local act called The Quick and Easy Boys. As the band stepped onto the stage, their appearance immediately struck me as interesting. On lead guitar and vocals is Jimmy Russell, a tall, skinny man with dark hair whose appearance slightly resembles David Byrne. On bass and vocals is Sean Badders, a large hulking individual with a bald head and reddish facial hair who resembles the iconic image of a Pacific Northwest lumberjack (he usually wears flannel shirts, too). Rounding out the trio was the fairly inconspicuous Mike Goetz on drums. All three band members were sporting bushy mustaches and Jimmy and Sean both wore large cowboy hats.
As I was digesting their unusual appearance, they dove headlong into their opening set of music. The sound is somewhat difficult to describe, but the band labels it as a unique brand of Funkytonk called Honkadelic, which sounds about right. As is customary these days in the jamband scene, they take from several varied and different musical influences. Theres rock, country, bluegrass, funkytonk, funk, blues, and psychedelic jam, to name a few. The Quick and Easy Boys also perform extremely well done cover versions of tunes as varied as Frank Zappas "Hot Rats," Jimi Hendrixs "Red House," and Pink Floyds "Fearless."
These guys also know how to have some serious fun on stage and it is highly infectious. Throughout any Q&E Boys show, one can expect jubilant cries of the phrase, Yeah, bud! both from the stage and the crowd. Another regular element of a Q&E Boys show is alcohollots of it. Embracing their bar band persona with gusto, the guys commonly imbibe pitchers of beers and down several rounds of shots during most performances. As you can imagine, things can get charged with energy and even downright rowdy at times. Its also not uncommon for most or all of the members to play a shirtless set, shedding their tops and exposing their physiques. Ive even seen bassist Sean Badders perform in a cow costume complete with authentic plastic udder. And while the humor and festive nature of their shows is a wonderful and enjoyable thing, the band also backs it up with solid musical chops.
Guitarist Jimmy Russell is fierce on the guitar. He deftly switches from funky chord phrasings, to lightning fast bluegrass picking, to straight ahead rocking electric guitar solos. He is great at building tension in his solos and the band very effectively builds energy behind him. Sean Badders often sways back and forth while holding down rock steady, but also lively and inventive, bass lines. Mike Goetz is highly proficient on the drums and has the ability to lay down a solid groove, deliver a flurry of rolls and cymbals splashes, as well as display impressive skills during more extended drum solos.
Since that first night at the Goodfoot Ive seen the band play quite a few times and have become pretty well acquainted with them. For such a young band they already have some interesting stories to tell – drummer Mike injured his arm badly enough that he could not play for several months after the bands van was t-boned in Denver, for example. Being such a fun, approachable, and skilled group of guys, the band already has a small but solid fan base built up here in town that should only increase. The Quick and Easy Boys can be counted on to consistently deliver an evening of enjoyable and danceable music and have one heck of a good time on stage while doing it! Check them out live if youre ever in the Portland area or online at ,a href="http://www.myspace.com/thequickandeasyboys"target=m>www.myspace.com/thequickandeasyboys.

For all its eerie opaqueness and string of hit tunes, The Tales of Hoffmann needs help on stage. Someone has to take a firm grip: Offenbach died before completing the score, and the precise nature of his final intentions remains a matter of intense scholarly squabbling.
Here, Richard Jones has opted for the new Kaye and Keck edition, which embodies the fruits of modern research into the surviving autograph material. I'm afraid I'm a backslider who prefers the juicier "traditional" text used by the Royal Opera, despite its inauthentic insertions and omissions.
What Kaye and Keck present is a long evening with several flat patches. I like to think that more deliberation would have led the composer to fatten up the musically emaciated Venetian episode and cut some of the ramblings round Antonia. Here, even Jones's skill, intelligence and imagination can't enliven them, and a protracted second interval didn't help, either.
The designer Giles Cadle sets the opera in a dingy rooming house in a period vaguely evocative of the Weimar Republic. This is not a gimmicky interpretation, but the introduction of a tame gorilla and a silent trio of Hoffmann's acolytes seems gratuitously decorative rather than functional. Neither a comic or tragic figure, Hoffmann is less the fallen romantic hero than a feckless drunk and pothead, impersonated and sung with tremendous verve and focused tone by Barry Banks. Nicklausse, his companion on his adventures, is a level-headed Just William (the convincing Christine Rice), his enemies a series of Princes of Darkness, incarnated with appropriate melodramatic relish by Clive Bayley.
Love is Hoffmann's nemesis: he has a knack for falling for the wrong girl. American soprano Georgia Jarman is most successful as the coloratura-spouting doll Olympia, but manages her transformations into neurasthenic Antonia and slinky Giulietta with aplomb.
Razor-sharp cameos from Simon Butteriss, crisp enunciation of an excellent translation by Tim Hopkins, light-touched conducting by Antony Walker and superb singing from Francine Merry's chorus contribute to the high overall quality of the production.
I came out feeling that it had been a bit of a slog – the fault being only Offenbach's – but one that offered rich rewards along the way.
In repertory until March 10. Box office: 0871 472 0600

A burglar was caught red-handed after he was discovered in the act – and found himself locked inside the premises he was raiding.
The fire escapes and the front door of Whitby Rugby Club were blocked by manager Peter Stentiford to trap the hooded thief that he heard inside, until police officers arrived on the scene.
Craig Hall, 37, of of St Andrew's Road, Whitby, is now locked up again – in jail.
Mr Stentiford told the Whitby Gazette: "An alarm was triggered at 6.45am and I was on the premises three minutes later where I discovered a man behind the bar.
"I could hear him talking and assumed he was with at least one other person so I decided to lock the front doors to trap them inside and dial 999.
"I went to the rear of the premises to block the fire escapes, which would have been the only way out of the building, and waited for the police to arrive."
Mr Stentiford said he initially assumed that he was merely responding to a false alarm but was stunned to discover a figure behind the bar helping himself to staff wages and a charity collection box.
"I couldn't believe someone had broken into the club," he added.
"My first thought was 'how dare you?' I thought it best just to trap him inside because what I wanted to do to him would probably have got me in trouble."
The raid has left a sour taste in the mouth of the club's members who are dismayed that not even a community facility is safe from criminals.
"This club is a non-profit organisation and exists solely to provide the local community with sporting facilities," Mr Stentiford continued.
"It disgusts me that someone would target us and try and steal from us.
"I think the fact that this individual was caught in possession of an RNLI charity collection box that he took off the bar says a lot about his character.
"I know that a lot of local properties have been burgled recently so it's nice to have caught one of the people doing it."
North Yorkshire Police confirmed that a 37-year-old man was arrested at Whitby Rugby Club on Monday morning and charged with burglary.
Craig Hall, of St Andrew's Road, Whitby appeared at Scarborough Magistrates Court on Wednesday and was sentenced to eight weeks in prison to run consecutively with an exisiting 15-week suspended sentence.
Mr Stentiford was full of praise for the police's swift response to his 999 call.
He added: "I have to say that the police were excellent. Even though we've had a few instances of false alarms at the club in the past they were here in a matter of minutes.
"I was still on the phone to them when the officers arrived to make the arrest.
"It is reassuring that when you need their help the police can respond so quickly."

How to Help Children Cope With an Absent Father
A divorce or separation can be a painful and stressful time for the children involved, especially if a parent is absent. While you are likely hurting as well, it is important to help your child cope with the difficult transition. If you are unsure about what to say or do to help to cope with an absent father, start by maintaining your child's routine and modeling calmness to help him feel more secure. The exact coping mechanism for your children depends on his age and personality.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Encourage your child to talk about her feelings. She may readily open up, cry and yell about her absent father or she may be more reserved. Make yourself available any time she needs to talk.
Step 2
Allow your child to be honest when speaking with you. He might have some anger and blame toward you as well. For instance, he might be concerned you contributed to his father leaving. If he is unable to share his feelings, he may have a more difficult time working through it, according to Helpguide.org.
Step 3
Resist trying to fix things and acknowledge your child's feelings. You won't like to see your her sadness but it is more important that you listen and understand her feelings.
Step 4
Avoid blaming the father. This may be difficult to do if he is not around, but try to explain that his dad can't be a part of his life, without assigning blame or judgment.
Step 5
Be honest with your child. All of the changes of divorce and separation can be scary. Being upfront with her about what to expect can help restore confidence.
Step 6
Reassure your child. He may fear that you will leave as well. Remind him that you won't leave him and that you love him.
Step 7
Seek help when necessary. Some children may need counseling to help them cope with the changes. Mental health centers, community centers and churches offer groups for children of divorce. It may help your child to connect with others that are going through the same situation.

Calica, Mexico
The Main Beach Area at Xcaret Park, Mexico
Calica, Mexico Information
Tom Ogg
Language and Currency
What is Calica Like?
What is the Weather Like?
Where Does the Ship Dock?
Where is the Shopping?
What is There to Buy?
What is There To Do?
Is There Anything of a "Don't Miss Quality?
Are There Any Great Restaurants or Bars?
The Official Language of Calica is Spanish and the currency is the Mexican Peso, however English is spoken at Xcaret and the dollar is widely accepted.
Calica is little more than a small port that can accommodate two ships at a time. There is really no town nearby named Calica.
The weather on this part of the Yucatan Peninsula is wonderful year around. Be aware that the sun is quite strong and always wear a high spf rated sun screen when being exposed.
Calica offers docks for two ships at a time and is one of only two spots on the Yucatan Peninsula where ships can actually dock without long tender rides.
There is little shopping at the port of Calica other than a small make shift market that has grown to serve ship's passengers on days when a ship is in port. The main shopping area is in Playa Del Carmen some 8 miles to the north of the port of Calica.
Basically, local arts and crafts as well as some trinkets are available of the market pier side with more robust shopping in Playa Del Carmen (see the Playa Del Carmen Port page.)
Without question, you will want to explore the Xcaret Park that is located less than a mile from the ship. Either take the ship's transfer and tour or grab a taxi to the park entrance. Be sure to bring your bathing suit and mask and snorkel as well. Xcaret is an ecological park and offers many attractions including floating down an underground river as it winds through caves and meanders throughout the park before terminating before emptying into the ocean. There are lagoons to explore and meandering water ways to snorkel as well. There are botanical gardens, a small zoo, restaurants, bars, hammocks to relax in and a wonderful beach. You can easily spend the entire day here. Xcaret also has a wonderful dinner show in the evening.
I you get Xcaret'd out, then by all means grab a taxi to Playa Del Carmen for some shopping, food and beach time.
Is there anything of "Don't Miss" quality?
By all means, Xcaret Park is a "Don't Miss" attraction.
Are there any great restaurants or bars?
None that I am aware of in this area. Do you know of one?

A lot of people send off their tax returns in hopes of receiving a refund and there are many who do in fact get a nice refund back. This is money you technically never had and as such should consider putting it to good use. Unfortunately a lot of people blow the money, waste it away and find they regret it a lot later. It's something you'll regret but there are a few smart ways to put your refund to good use to.
If you are receiving a hefty sum of money you could look at investing in something you know will always go up in value. Gold and silver are two precious commodities and things which are excellent investments. These usually increase over time and you should look at investing in them too. The tax refund could be used in this manner and one day in the future, you could see a nice return. Also, it could be something for your family when you are no longer around.
You could put your tax return to good use by using any money received back to pay off debts or bills. You might think this is a boring way to spend your money but in truth, it's the smartest way especially if you're struggling to pay off certain bills or debts. If you have car loans, the money could be put towards that or used to help keep your head above water when it comes to some outstanding bills. To find out more, check out www.taxreturn247.com.au.
Tax returns are great little things because you can actually see some excellent refund options. If you are able to, you might get a big refund if you're lucky enough, and you could use this as savings. Putting the money into a savings account with a good rate of interest could prove useful within the near future. If you have a good interest rate and a decent amount of money, it could be used for increasing it. You get a little extra and it's there whenever you need it say for a rainy day. This is one amazing way to get more from your returns.
Maybe this isn't the most viable way to maximize your returns or refunds but it can be a nice option. If you've had a hard year and really need time to freshen up and rejuvenate, the tax refund could be used for a holiday. This can be a small weekend away and the rest could be put into a savings account or invested with. You really can enjoy a little R&R and time to yourself too which can be great.
Again, this might not sound the most viable way to spend the money but it can be useful for the home. If you own your home then you could use the money to add value to the home or even use as a deposit on a new home. There are lots of ways to maximize your money from tax returns and this is something you might want to consider. Putting this towards a down payment can be very useful indeed.
Putting the money to good use can be an excellent way to get more back from your money. There are lots of simple but effective ways to use your refund and you can find them to be very impressive to say the least. Investments and using the refund as a deposit can really be excellent ideas and they can maximize any returns later. Put your tax refund to good use.

Hi! I'm a Jersey girl transplanted in the DC-area, and I've been writing, performing, and photographing stories my entire life. My parents gave me my first camera--a freebee Kodak 110 with a flipflash--for a class trip when I was seven. A week later, as I flipped through the envelope of grainy shots, and held the negatives up to the light, I was hooked.
Over the years I've photographed weddings, events, landscapes, head shots, and even products. While I've enjoyed the challenges of different types of photography, I've learned that what I truly love is capturing the stories of families. Moments in the NICU with a newborn, the first few weeks at home as a new family, siblings laughing, kids loving their pets, families being silly, or children being serious. I love it all. Which is why I shoot lifestyle.
As a mom of two older kids I know how quickly life goes, even the days that feel like forever, and I know how wistful you'll feel when you look back over the young years. My aim for our session is to capture the heart of who your family is today, and help you hold on to these moments just a little bit longer.
Send me a note! I'd love to meet you and chat about your session ideas. You can also check out my session info and gallery pages: babies | families | pets | hospital. I hope we'll work together soon!

An act when a judges decision in a criminal case is tantamount to sodomizing the general public while simultaneously masturbating a hardened criminal to the heights of ecstasy.
I can't believe he only sentenced that rapist to 180 days in jail. What a f***ing judicial reach around.

When traversing from one location to the next, you will need to know, how to respond to a problem, as quickly as possible. The following aspects heavily influence how fast you will get somewhere and/or if you'll even make it in one piece.
Ship Durability
In Uncharted Waters Online, the durability of a ship is very important.
- Before setting sail, check the shipyard for any upgrades for your ship.
- Before setting sail, be sure your ship's durability is at 100%. (eg. 122/122)
- Before setting sail, check your ship's "provisions".
- Timber (for repairs at sea) & Cannons
- When you take a critical hit in a battle, your ship's max durability will be reduced
- (e.g. from 122 it will drop to 121).
- Some of the ship's part durability is reduced so always be careful when engaging in a battle
- Every time you hit your enemy in front (bow) or at the back (stern) the better your chances are, of a critical hit.
- If you have been in a battle at sea, always go to a town's shipwright and have him repair your ship,
- It's not free, his repair fee depends on the extent of your ship's damage.
- The ship can only be incapacitated when:
- You are defeated in battle,
- Your ship's durability drops to 0,
- After a natural disaster,
- All your sailors die in battle.
Master Carpentry Tools restore Max Durability to your ship. They are a casting R12 Recipe from the book Introduction to Casting - Requires 1 White Ore (Collectable) 1 Iron and 1 Timber
Need to reference: "how to" recover at sea, skills, towing, materials, items, etc.
Need to reference: "how to" during "student courses".
Recommend referencing: "Set up your Quick Slots" for items used at sea.. for quick access
Recommend referencing: useful skills & items (ie: Items: carpenter tools)
Main article: Sailors
In your voyage, you need sailors to accompany you.
- You can recruit sailors at the tavern (merchant and seafarer) and at the harbor.
- Sailors will fight by your side but they do not work for free.
- Be sure that you have sufficient amount of provisions on your journey, which is food and water.
- You also have to pay your sailors, so have a little extra cash on hand.
- Sailors like to keep order on the ship, so they will tell you that the ship has rats;
- Sometimes they will notify you that the ship is dirty.
- They even fight with each other.
Every time you go on a journey your sailors become fatigued.
- To replenish their fatigue you can go to the nearest tavern and buy shots for the sailors. A few cooked dishes also have the ability to relieve some fatigue and can be consumed anywhere.
- Not only will the fatigue be replenished but it will also increase their loyalty in you.
- Keep in mind that if the fatigue goes to 100 your sailors will slowly die off and steal from you,
- So always make sure that you have an item to replenish your fatigue such as crafted food.
- In a melee battle at the sea, sailors act as a health meter.
- Lose all your sailors and you are defeated.
Fatigue is also accumulated when wandering around in Land Battle/Landing areas.
Located on the Ship Information Sheet
- Loyalty - Increases with time if you keep the fatigue low and helps when the going gets rough. Lower loyalty leads to mutiny (around 32) and poor performace of the ship. Higher score and the sailors are more forgiving of famine, acts of nature, and combat losses.
- Skill - Increases with time and helps overall ship performance. You can buy novice, average, and experienced sailors.
- Number - The current and minimal number of sailors needed for the ship. This is not a hard limit as I have sailed far and long with just a few loyal crewman. But their fatigue increased faster, the ship turned slower, and other tasks seem to be sluggish.
Every time you use a skill your Vigour will decrease.
- Vigour can be restored by drinking and eating crafted cooked foods, and at the tavern's barkeep.
- Having a drink along with a cooked food will gradually replenish your Vigour.
- If you are going on a long journey at sea, don't forget to buy food at the tavern's clerk or from a player that will replenish your Vigour at sea.
- You can have the Cooking skill to make food to use to recover Vigour at sea or on land as well.
Sails angle versus wind direction
Square sails
- Square sails (or horizontal sails) are meant for crossing high seas, with tailwind your ship gets nice speedboost. They are useless in places where wind changes all the time.
- With square sails you get highest speeds?
Triangular sails
- Triangular sails (or vertical sails) you get good speed in sidewind or headwind. Horizontal speed will suffer
- Meant for sailing inland seas and along coast
Horizontal and Vertical Sail Statistics
- The Horizontal Statistic indicates how fast you will go if you are going away from the clouds (tailwind) shown on the minimap on the bottom right of your screen
- The Vertical Statistic indicates how fast you will go if you are going toward the clouds (headwind) on the minimap
- When sailing in Ocean, you notice effect of current
- Sailing with current will give you some speed boost, stronger the current, faster you go
- You can reach over 40% speed up if sailing in strong current, even in headwind?
- IRL currents work in UWO too? LINK
- Sailing the high seas is never unadventurous. Whether it's rats, mutiny, scurvy, or a little dirt on the decks, a competent captain will be prepared.
- Most disasters seem to effect sailor's fatigue in some way, others even make sailors jump ship.
- Each disaster has it's own graphic effect on your ship also.
- Some cures may also be obtained from enemy NPCs in Land Battle areas as drops.

Offense powers No. 7 Northwest Missouri St. past No. 1 Pittburg St.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Down two touchdowns to the nation's top-ranked team, Northwest Missouri State delivered a response fitting of its championship pedigree Saturday.
Quarterback Trevor Adams threw for two touchdowns, James Franklin ran for two more and the defense stepped up with a succession of big second-half plays as the Bearcats defeated Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association rival Pittsburg State 31-21 in their annual Fall Classic in Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium.
"Our program's had a lot of big wins . . . and this certainly is a big one," coach Adam Dorrel said after his team preserved both its league title hopes and run at a ninth consecutive Division II playoff berth. Now 6-1 overall and 5-1 in the MIAA, Northwest might not have been able to afford another loss on either front.
Against Pitt State (5-1), they struggled for a little more than a half with both the Gorillas' defense and pass-minded offense. They trailed 7-0 at the half, then 14-0 when PSU's Anthony Abenoja hit Luke Rampy with a 14-yard TD pass on the opening series of the second half.
"We knew we had to respond quick," Adams said.
Adams did just that, completing the first nine passes he threw in the third quarter. The first five produced Northwest's first score, a 19-yard touchdown toss to Jordan Simmons that cut the deficit to 14-7. The next offensive series set up a 31-yard field goal by Todd Adolf.
It was the start of a game-turning run of 31 points by the Bearcats.
"Momentum kind of shifted their way," Pitt State coach Tim Beck said. "We couldn't get it stopped. Both side of the ball. They were very, very good on both sides, and we didn't respond very well."
The Gorillas did stir at one critical point, moving to the Northwest 17-yard line in the opening moments of the fourth quarter. There, on fourth-on-1, Beck opted against a field goal and ran 6-3, 238-pound Mandell Dixon into the middle of Bearcats' line. There, he was met and stopped for no gain by linebacker Matt Massey and nose guard Travis Chappelear.
The stops kept coming. Travis Manning picked off a pass and returned it 14 yards to the Pitt State 35, and Adams and the offense capitalized. On a fourth-and-4 call, receiver John Hinchey beat one PSU defender on an inside slant and Adams hit him perfect. Hinchey leapfrogged another defensive back en route to a 29-yard touchdown that put Northwest up 17-14.
The Gorillas' next possession ended on a sack by Northwest linebacker Eric Reimer. Franklin followed with the first of his TD runs, this one three yards around left end, to make it 24-14 with 5:06 remaining.
Safety Nate DeJong came up with another interception, and Franklin added a clinching 14-yard scoring run just 21 seconds later.
Franklin finished with 115 yards rushing on 20 carries. Adams threw for a total of 192 yards, completing 17 of 30 passes and overcoming a couple of first-half interceptions.
Dorrel, who came up with signature come-from-behind wins against Missouri Western and Midwestern State in last year's playoffs, now has another in his second season as coach. He pointed to Hinchey, Massey, DeJong and the rest of the Bearcats' veterans.
"In a game like that, in my opinion, it's not about play-calling. I believe that," Dorrel said. "I believe it's about guys, a group of seniors, who willed it to happen.
"They believed in their coaches, and they believed in each other. It was awesome to hear them say at halftime when we were coming out, 'We've got to keep playing for each other.' And they played for each other today."

No one was hurt in the making of this movie.
I wanted to make this very clear, as I don't think I would have enjoyed being on this plane.
For this is a Fokker 100 whose pilot, shortly before landing in Brasilia, realized that his front wheels would not be coming out to play.
As Reuters reports, the Avianca Airlines pilot decided this was an emergency. So he performed a few circles around Brazil's capital to shed some fuel.
Then, as the video shows, he went for it.
Whenever I post footage of pilots doing (to me) extraordinary things, other pilots comment "Pssshhh. That's nothing."
This may well, indeed, be nothing to a pilot.
But those who get on planes -- some more nervous than others -- need reassurance at every turn.
My own voice preferences are always those of British pilots. They manage to speak to the passengers like the finest surgeons. They make you believe that you're going out for a Sunday drive with the nicest man in the world.
I was also extremely grateful to the United Airlines pilot who, after our plane was struck by lightning (right next to my seat), landed the plane safely at JFK and then nonchalantly offered: "In case any of you were wondering, yes, the plane was struck by lightning. But we only sustained minor damage."
Here, what I see is a nose being held in the air for as long as possible, before being brought to the ground with a peculiar gentleness.
Yes, of course this is nothing. But it's a strangely comforting nothing.

Tate Britain turns Christmas on its head with upside down tree
Tate Britain has unveiled its new Christmas tree – but you'll have to look to the skies to check it out.
The stunning pine tree – which was unveiled today – has been created by artist Shirazeh Houshiary and features exposed roots covered in gold leaf, and hangs upside down above the spiral staircase in the Rotunda.Ben Stokes found not guilty of assault outside nightclub
She said: 'I would like us to contemplate that the pine tree is one of the oldest species and recognise the roots are the source of its continued stability, nourishment and longevity.'Save money with these energy-efficient Christmas lights
The former Turner Prize nominee's creation will be centrepiece for a series of festive commissions, which will include works by Antony Gormley and Anish Kapoor.
The gallery has a month-long Christmas events calender – including tours of the JMW Turner paintings by torchlight and an evening of Christmas music with the English National Opera.
It's not the first time the Tate has commissioned the Iranian artist for her unusual take on the Christmas Tree.
Back in 1993, Houshiary decided to move away from the traditional notion of decorating and chose to focus on the tree's natural qualities instead – such as the texture, colour, smell and shape.
She achieved this by turning the tree upside down – exposing its roots – and hanging it from the ceiling of the Gallery, thus creating the impression of the tree floating in air with the roots free from their earthly constraints.

Through Our "Summer Eyes"Monday, March 9th, 2015
Stephan Ermel of Toronto indie rock quintet Midday Swim reflects on recording the band's self-titled debut…
Rather than spending the recent family day long weekend – one of the coldest weekends of the season – warm and indoors with the fam, I went up north with my adopted family to a cottage along Jack Lake in the Kawarthas to continue recording our upcoming album, set to be released April 28th, 2015.
We spent the rest of that weekend surviving on frozen lasagna and Moose Tracks ice cream with no running water, very little heat, and a whole lot of instruments.
While there, it struck me that, in some way, it seems something of a rite of passage for a Canadian Indie Band – traveling to Great White North in search of calmer surroundings and that idyllic, untouched landscape to inspire your sound.
But really, I think it's about camaraderie.
In some form or another, we've been making music together for what seems like an unimaginably long time. Sebastian and David have known each other since they went to Hebrew school together in Thornhill; Craig and Max have played in bands together since high school; and between the three of us, Sebastian and David and I have created more bands than Broken Social Scene has members.
But there is something about the shared experience of a weekend in a remote and isolated space. Something that brings a band together – for better or worse – and more than almost anything else, genuinely affects the nature of the music they create.
To give you an idea, allow me to list the kinds of bonding activities a winter cottage experience can provide.
1. Falling asleep in the van on the two hour drive, only to be woken by the sensation of your stomach lurching up and down as your vehicle careens around corners and over snowbanks on a barely plowed path in the middle of the Canadian nowhere.
2. Digging out a parking space for your van through nearly shoulder high snow, in the middle of the night.
3. Thrice using a snowmobile to precariously tow your expensive/irreplaceable recording equipment down an otherwise untraversable path, equal in length to a TTC subway train. (BTW, thank you thank you thank you to Blair for operating that snow machine of yours. I don't think you knew what you were getting into when you offered your services… #couldn'thavedoneitwithoutyou! Come to TO and we'll buy you a round.
4. Walking down to the frozen lake to auger fresh water from underneath the ice.
5. Figuring out what an auger is.
6. Being pushed into a snow bank while carrying a bucket of literally ice cold water, which you augered from a lake in the dead of winter, and NOT SPILLING A SINGLE DROP! #thanksalot
7. Realizing (only after you've checked your camera footage) that while you've been freezing your butt off outside, your friends have been inside doing this:
8. Finally getting to do some of this:
9. …only to be stopped by some of this:
(You probably can't tell, but this is the aftermath of a fire that broke out in the studio, when one of our [probably overworked] heaters burst into flames behind us and nearly suffocated us to death. It was only at that moment, as we leapt to our feet, that we realized we had no fire extinguisher, and had to smother the flames with our feet. Thank goodness for house shoes!
10. #MIDDAY naps (with our boy Jack the dog).
11. #makinart
12. And breaks spent out on the frozen lake, watching the sun set.
What this past weekend has confirmed for me is that the kind of collaborative effort that being in a band demands goes far beyond what any one individual can do on their own. I have always been compelled by stories of bands that have been together for years, are aware of each other's strengths, weaknesses, habits, and are able to bring out the best in each other.
I think those moments of true creative ingenuity are made possible only after you've become a kind of family, and I hope that we've struck upon those moments with this record.

Sunday was family excursion day, off to the Butterfly Conservatory we went. We'd been before and Smidgie had also been with her class a year or two ago, but it's a good activity for a winter weekend.
Here's some of what we saw. I'm guessing you won't be upset that I didn't take a picture of the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach, and I also passed up the opportunity to 'pet' it. Silly me.
|This guy had just emerged from his chrysalis, his first flight landed on the Smidge!

Students will develop and demonstrate compentence in a range of practical, creative and performance skills by exploring and engaging in a wide range of activities.
eg. This is a two year GCSE level course which consists of 2 Units
Unit 1 Written exam taken in the May/June of year 11. 40% of the final grade
Unit 2 Practical Options are internally assessed and are 60% of the final grade
A career in the Performing Arts and/or related areas that require working in a team environment requiring communication skills
You will be timetabled for five periods of 60 minutes each over two weeks. These are used as follows:
• Four lessons will be a practical class where you will develop new skills and demonstrate biological principals.
• The other period will be classroom based lessons.
In Drama there is a need for regular learning and independent study. Guidance will be given on how to prepare for lessons and consolidate you own learning so that you can have the best chance of success.
Successful students need be imaginative, creative and positive. Students must be organised and prepared to work hard in their own time. Patience and peristence are key virtues, as is the ability to take criticism positively. Successful students need to be open, expressive and committed.
GCSE students are encouraged to work over an extended period of time on the development of their projects. This process is broken down into easily understood targets by the Art teacher and requires a mature and independent approach from the student in order to be successful.
Students should always have a set of personal targets to complete – these targets are likely to be detailed on the student's Progress Log and found on the task lists in their sketchbook.
Ask your son/daughter about their artwork and their ideas. Take them to galleries and to places where they can gather photographs for their work. Provide them with materials and tools, and try to sort out a space in the house for them to study. Finally, ask to see their Progress Logs – it's all there!
The Art Department opens its doors daily to students to come and work at break, lunchtime and after school on Tuesdays & Thursdays. We regularly arrange Saturday Workshops, sometimes inviting specialist artists to deliver a master class. There are many other opportunities to be involved more in Art such as mural painting, Rock Challenge set design and Saatchi Online (www.saatchionline.com/shtc)

The appeal of NZ property is universal – we are lucky (some would say) to live in such a beautiful country, a place many people can only dream of living. Our property though is accessible and appealing to overseas investors and prospective new residents.
Just compare NZ to Australia, here there is no Capital Gains Tax or Stamp duty; additionally overseas investors are restricted in Australia to new builds as opposed to the far more limited restrictions here.
These circumstances are driving an ever growing audience to listings on Realestate.co.nz from overseas. Just last month over 110,000 unique visitors checked out property on the site from outside NZ, that represents over 1 in 4 of all of our visitors each month.
The most active viewers are those in the English speaking countries of Australia, UK, US and Canada, but Asia is assuming a greater and greater presence among this audience growing at 3 times the rate of growth of other countries. This certainly reflects the economic relations NZ is building with its Asia Pacific partners.
This audience though is not as well catered for as English language speakers. This is somethingthat we have focused on over the past year. The main issue facing us has been the ability for us to provide a Chinese language version of the site which can rank highly when Chinese based property seekers are searching for NZ property – especially as the major search engine in China is Baidu. As a company we have always invested heavily in Search Engine Optimistion (SEO) to drive our site and brand given the credibility this brings to our site, however optimising in English for Google is a very different issue from optimising for Chinese language search on Baidu.
This challenge has been solved through a partnership which Realestate.co.nz has established with a NZ/Chinese company HouGarden.com. The company combines the domestic Chinese technology team with the best of SEO capabilities in the Chinese market. Based in Auckland and Beijing, Hougarden has built a website that provides a rich information source for property seekers combining the full listings from Realestate.co.nz translated into Chinese with translated news stories covering the broad NZ economy and property news.
It was decided that translated listings in Chinese would be best presented on a separate website and domain name, rather than on a sub domain of realestate.co.nz and that is the rationale for the partnership with Hougarden.
So how does it work?
Hougarden uses the API of Realestate.co.nz listings to populate their website, all the content of listings including photos, description as well as agent contact details are provided on the HouGarden site in Chinese. By using the API the listings on HouGarden are synchronised with Realestate.co.nz so new listings and withdrawn listings are updated at the same time.
The site provides the great functionality and usability as Realestate.co.nz and the deliberate similarity in look and feel is a deliberate decision to reflect the true partnership relationship.
Property seekers making an enquiry through the HouGarden website by email can choose to respond in Chinese or in English. These email pass through Realestate.co.nz with a human translations service provided by HouGarden. The agent will receive the enquiry in English with a clear message detailing that the enquiry has come via HouGarden website from a Chinese enquirer and whether the original enquiry was written in English or Chinese.
We recommend that agents receiving these enquiries develop a relationship with a Chinese speaking colleague to assist in managing these requests, although clearly an enquiry written originally in English can be directly responded to. It is the plan for the future for Hougarden to potentially provide a return translation service.
The launch of Hougarden was marked this week by a presentation and official signing ceremony in Auckland. Pictured below is Sam Yin the Managing Director of HouGarden.com with myself after the signing ceremony.
We are very excited by this development as a further means for Realestate.co.nz to provide increased profile and advertising for our customers' listings – reaching out to the massive audience of 1.3 billion Chinese both in NZ and in China.

Troy's Country Workshop Artists celebrate 40 years of creativity with biennial art sale
By Gary Spencer
The sheer volume of visual arts being produced in the Miami Valley might surprise outsiders, and these works are not just being exhibited and sold in downtown Dayton. In fact, one of the longest running art organizations in the region can be found roughly 20 minutes north of the Gem City in Troy. Troy's Country Workshop Artists (CWA) was formed in 1961 by a group of 11 creative-minded women with a somewhat simplistic goal of nurturing the creation of visual art within their community and giving such art a venue through which to display their works. The CWA came up from very humble beginnings, including meeting regularly in an old streetcar in a field full of sheep.
"The ladies who had been involved in a church bazaar banded together and founded the Country Workshop," explained Bonnie Rashilla, current president of the CWA and a member of the collective for nearly 30 years. "A member had a streetcar on her property that may have been on the Piqua Troy Trolley system many years ago. It was out in a field of sheep near her house. The streetcar became their meeting place — no running water, heating or toilet facilities but plenty of sheep."
The Country Workshop Artists hasn't merely survived but has grown over the years. The CWA membership now boasts more than 30 active female artists working within a variety of artistic mediums including pottery, silversmithing, weaving, graphics, carving, painting and more. The collective is also regularly putting on workshops, demos and classes with the added support of the Troy school system. Working with Troy schools seemed like a natural fit. In the mid-1980s the CWA started sponsoring yearly scholarships for aspiring students from the community with a flair and talent for the visual arts to continue their art education and development in a college or university setting.
"The $500 annual scholarship we give to students going to accredited art schools and colleges is for the tools of their trades … for paper, pencils, books and tuition as they choose or need," explained Rashilla. "Many (students) have been successful in the art world. These students have gone on to become teachers in schools, art professors in colleges, art directors in publishing houses, book illustrators and other occupations in the art worlds of Chicago and New York as well."
These yearly scholarships are partially funded by a two-day art sale in Troy, sponsored by the CWA known simply as the Country Workshop Artists Art Sale. This year's art sale will be the 25th edition of the biennial event, and this year the artist members of the CWA will also be joined by 50 other craft and fine artists on an invite-only basis to come show off their works and potentially sell them to an expected crowd of 7,000 attendees. While most of the artists featured at this year's CWA Art Sale are from towns north of Dayton such as Troy and Piqua, the roster of participating artists also draws invitees from California and New York City.
"We select work of outside artists by keeping an eye open for new artists who are showing their work in various venues such as art fairs, shows, personal contact and word of mouth," said Rashilla. "We bring examples of work and photos to committee and after group approval of the work we invite the artist to be in the sale."
"The artists like to participate because we sell," she added. "We are also attractive because the work is brought to us on Thursday, sold on Friday and Saturday and any left is collected on Saturday at 5 p.m. They do not stay with the art (and) therefore are free to pursue other venues. Our commission is only 20 percent. We have not charged more because we feel we are obligated under our goals to give artists the opportunity to get their work in the public eye."
So what kind of arts and crafts will be for sale at the 2011 Country Workshop Artists Art Sale? According to the Rashilla, the variety is staggering.
"We have a wide range of goods to offer," she said. "They include fiber, embossed wood boxes, wood furniture, shibori scarves, baskets, funky hats, felted purses, paintings, flags, lampwork, pottery, jewelry, folk art, pysanki, note cards, hypertufas and ornaments as well as books by local writers. We work as a group on various projects as well as our own specialties. Customers will find some art work here that is not available elsewhere, many handmade and designed one-of-a-kind items."
While on the surface Troy might not be the first place people think of when it comes to cities embracing the arts, to Rashilla it doesn't seem all that surprising and the CWA has had a hand in keeping their town one that embraces creativity.
"Troy has been involved with community art programs for many years," she said. "Michael Bayshaw installed a musical sculpture in our park. We have a mural, 'Sunrise Sunset,' designed by Aka Peryma of Troy in our Town Square. We often have artists in residence at our local schools. Our Hayner Cultural Center and City of Troy sponsor music programs and art related events. The Country Workshop Artists make contributions to these activities, physically and financially."
The 2011 Country Workshop Artists Art Sale will be held Staunton Grange, 1530 N. Market St. in Troy, October 21, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and October 22 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Free admission. For more information, call (937) 339-0619.

Tamasha premieres Emteaz Hussain's Blood
The production forms the centrepiece of the company's 25th anniversary season
British Asian company Tamasha have announced the "centrepiece" production of their 25th anniversary year - Emteaz Hussain's Blood, directed by Esther Richardson.
A co-production with the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry, it will open there in March before visiting theatres around the UK including Soho Theatre, Birmingham REP and Tron Theatre in Glasgow.
Blood reunites Tamasha with playwright Hussain following their 2008 production of Sweet Cider at the Arcola Theatre. The play is set among a Midlands Pakistani community, and is billed as "funny and heart-wrenchingly honest".
Also newly launched is Tamasha Playwrights - a collective, founded and led by artistic director Fin Kennedy, of eight emerging playwrights from diverse backgrounds, which aims to nurture writers as well as train them to become artist-producers.
Kennedy and co-artistic director Sudha Bhuchar said, "We are hugely proud and excited to announce Emteaz Hussain's lyrical and heart-felt Blood as the centrepiece of our 25th anniversary season.
"Emteaz is a writer with whom Tamasha has maintained a long and rewarding relationship, right through from her early days as a Tamasha developing artist, so it feels absolutely appropriate that our new season should focus around her latest work - a play that also furthers our ambition to give a voice to theatre created by and about the UK's culturally diverse communities."

A Union man was arrested Friday after police say he left a 2-month-old boy who had recently had surgery alone.
Christopher Shane Vaughan, 39, of 1208 W. Main St., Apt. 3-A, was charged with unlawful conduct toward a child, an arrest warrant states.
According to an incident report, a woman came to check on the baby about 8 p.m. and found the infant in his "bouncy seat" alone in the apartment. The woman told an officer that she was at the apartment for 20 minutes before Vaughan arrived. The infant had recently undergone surgery for stomach issues, the report states.
Vaughan told police that he hadn't been gone long, and had gone across the street to use the phone because he couldn't get in touch with the child's mother, the report states. Officers noted that Vaughan appeared to be intoxicated and smelled of alcohol. The child's mother later arrived and also smelled of alcohol, according to the report.
The Department of Social Services responded and placed the child in the custody of a family member, the report states.
Vaughan remained at the Union County Jail Monday on a $10,000 bond.

Schizophrenia is invisible in Canada's new mental health strategy.To read the entire article, please click here.
By Susan Inman (pictured)
Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC), in the latest draft of the new Mental Health Strategy, make it likely that their situations can actually get worse. These choices, which were not apparent in any earlier MHCC documents, are not receiving the public scrutiny that is needed because this draft is not available for the public. This draft, which was shared with a very small number of people, is currently being polished, and the Canadian public will not see it until it is unveiled in early 2012.
Through both what the strategy suggests and what it fails to support, this plan represents decisions that are dangerous to the well being of people with schizophrenia.
None of the MHCC documents have provided even the most basic information about this often misunderstood mental illness. For instance, the public has never learned that 40 to 50 per cent of psychotic people don't understand that they are ill and so have no reason to ask for or consent to treatment. Nor does any of the educational material promoted by the MHCC in its Mental Health First Aid program mention that 90 per cent of people with schizophrenia who stop taking their medications will have a relapse. A clearer understanding of this neurobiological disorder can help people understand the mental health policies that are most appropriate.
One major problem with the strategy is its approach to legal issues. The new draft strategy promises funds for court challenges to human rights abuses. The public deserves to have open access to this document to find out exactly what the MHCC intends with this action. Since the MHCC has allied itself with groups opposed to involuntary treatment of psychotic people, it is likely that federal funds could be made available to challenge involuntary treatment orders that have been made under various provincial mental health acts. Some human rights activists insist that no one should be treated for psychosis unless they choose this option; however, the notion of choice does not make sense in this context because people experiencing a profound psychosis do not have access to their rational thinking processes. They are not able to act in their own best interest, which is why mentally ill people frequently end up homeless or, increasingly, in prison.

With Mobile World Congress just days away, Smart AdServer has published an infographic that reviews the three things you should learn from mobile advertising in 2011 - with a view to using them in 2012.
It shows that 50% of mobile traffic occurs after 5pm, and that CTR increases by 23 times the average if you use rich media ad units.
Among the operating systems, iOS on iPad gives the best CTR followed by iPhone and then Android devices.
Comments (8)
Oddly, the graphic seems to say "3 things about mobile advertising in 2011" as opposed to 2012.
Useful all the same though.
I think its a look back at 2011, rather than a look forward. I think some of the points are 'givens' though? People with the 'purchasing power' to affect a CTR will be far more likely to work 9-5pm and have a mobile device worthy of effective internet browsing?
Some observations:
1. Of all the non-sticky ad formats on mobile, what percentage of this crazy-good CTR is users erroneously clicking on an ad while trying to close it? Does anyone have any usability data on this?
2. For all the proliferation of Android and its user base (~36% Android vs ~28% iOS, source - Kantar) the ad CTRs for these platforms tell a different story. Selling to iOS crowd is easier.
Selling to the iOS crowd may well be easier, but that is probably because it is a more mature demographic (and by that I mean how long they have been using the product, not their age). Many Andriod customers are fairly new to smartphones and everything that comes with it.
At the end of the day though CTRs still don't tell the whole story.
Would you rather have 10% of the 90% of the people click your ad or 90% of 10% of the people? Android's price and accessability has the potential to really dominate the market, so its important to keep track of the numbers.
@Jonny I'd take those who convert the most, and in your example it may well be 90% of the 10% (you're right, CTR is only 5% of the conversion).
Regarding Android user base maturity, a lot of them are featurephone jumpers and in many cases don't know that Android Market even exists - they bought the phone because it has a touch screen and it was cheap. They also aren't as keen to spend money later.
Some quick stats for one app I know:
Free version Android = 126000 downloads
Free version iOS = 125000 downloads
Paid version Android = 800 downloads
Paid version iOS = 9900 downloads
Based on that, I'd take CTR for 10% of iOS users first, then CTR for 90% of Android users.
For sure, I agree completely. All our analytics point to the same thing. Some interesting stats on the app there too.
For visits to our site, iOS customers convert twice as high. Right now, iOS is the bigger focus as they are a more valuable customer. However, there is the chance that sooner or later the overall revenue from Android overtakes iOS. Android visits are growing at twice the rate just now even if conversion isn't.
@Jonny "Android visits are growing at twice the rate just now even if conversion isn't." So that does mean that Android traffic represents a negative or stangant conversion rate for you in respect to the traffic metric? Could you share more stats/trends on this?

The new BlackBerry JDE versions and simulators are available as free downloads at www.blackberry.com/developers and will be showcased at the BlackBerry Developer Conference (www.blackberrydeveloperconference.com) on October 20-22, 2008 in Santa Clara, California.
BlackBerry JDE v4.7, available today in public beta, enables mobile application development for BlackBerry Device Software v4.7 which runs on the new BlackBerry Storm smartphone. It includes the ability to develop an application that works seamlessly on both touch-screen and keyboard based BlackBerry smartphones. New APIs available with BlackBerry JDE v4.7 that enable developers to take advantage of the new features of the BlackBerry Storm smartphone include:
* Touch-Screen Support Allow applications with custom user interfaces to receive input from taps, slides and other gestures on a BlackBerry Storm smartphone.

* Virtual Keyboard Control Control when a virtual keyboard is visible to the user within an application, and when the user can show or hide a keyboard within specified screens.
* Camera and Media Integration Build camera and video recording capabilities into a custom application and add a Send to menu option that enables photos or recorded videos to be sent from within the custom application.
* Set Homescreen Background Image Enable an application to set the background image on a BlackBerry smartphones home screen.
BlackBerry JDE v4.6, now generally available, enables mobile application development for BlackBerry Device Software v4.6 which currently runs on the BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Pearl Flip smartphones. The following APIs are introduced in BlackBerry JDE v4.6 and are also available with BlackBerry JDE v4.7:
* Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Create compelling interactive graphical interfaces, drawings and animation using vector-based 2D graphics.
* Location-Based Services (LBS) Use the Locator API to add LBS capabilities to mobile applications.
* Multimedia Integration Embed audio and video playback in a mobile application and enable the application to capture images using a BlackBerry smartphones camera.
* Customized Messages and Alerts Create an integrated experience between a mobile application and a BlackBerry smartphone by displaying custom information directly in a message list or on the home screen. Application messages can appear in BlackBerry Messenger or other instant messaging applications. Alerts appear as indicator icons on the home screen banner and on the external LCD of a BlackBerry Pearl Flip smartphone.
* Multiple Calendar and Contact List Support Enable a mobile application to access a secondary calendar and contact list databases for users that wish to connect their BlackBerry smartphone to both a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server installation at work and a BlackBerry® Unite! installation at home.
* Time Zone Enhancements Enable mobile applications dependent on time zone information to access, display, retrieve and set time zone information.
* Décor Enhancements Control visual properties of a user interface.
* SMS & MMS Listener Set applications to automatically update content or alter the progress of a function based on preset criteria that can be triggered by SMS and MMS messages.
Desktop simulators for the BlackBerry Storm, BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Pearl Flip smartphones accelerate mobile application development by enabling developers to easily test the end-to-end user experience and wireless network interactivity of their mobile applications.
The latest versions of the BlackBerry Java Development Environment present developers with opportunities to create innovative, mobile-savvy applications that take advantage of the robust feature sets of the BlackBerry Storm, BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Pearl Flip smartphones, said Alan Brenner, Senior Vice President, BlackBerry platforms at Research In Motion.

|Seagate Unveils New Surveillance Hard Disk Drive
Seagate Technology introduces the first dedicated surveillance hard disk drive (HDD). Made precisely for surveillance and video analytics applications, the Surveillance HDD employs data recovery and restoration services designed from malicious or accidental failure.
This device is equipped with Seagate Rescue services which can help restore data within two weeks at a success rate of greater than 90 percent. This system provides a data rescue plan of up to three years, but for the fraction of the cost.
The seventh-generation Seagate Surveillance HDD can store up to 6TB of data which is equivalent to 600 hours of high-definition (HD) content. Easily, this makes it highest-capacity drive designed specifically for surveillance applications in the industry.
It is also designed to scale video feeds and has options for rotational vibration sensors to make it perform well with systems of up to 16 drives. This feature works well for small-to-medium businesses that do not have IT support, but highly value bulk storage and backup for surveillance HD videos.
The Seagate Surveillance HDD can support recordings from several cameras, despite resolution requirements. It can also support up to 32 channels even if they have high write workloads. Even in the long run, this hard disk drive improves performance in multi-drive systems and delivers the highest data integrity possible.
The Seagate Surveillance HDD also has a 1 million hour mean time between failure, which allows it to be used without error for a long time. It is also designed to run on low power and reduce heat emissions. At present, the 1 TB to 4 TB versions of the Surveillance HDD are already available. By the end of 2014, the 5 TB and 6 TB versions will be released.

BFI Film Shoot is a success!
12 February 2014
"Over the weekend of 23 & 24 November the participants of the BFI Film Academy shot their short films. Producer Sol helped to guide them through the pre-production process with the participants creating the script, storyboards and sourcing everything they needed.
This was the first time many of the participants had taken part on film shoot, but you wouldn't know as they all excelled in their roles. It was fantastic to see two groups of youngsters, who didn't know each other a few weeks ago, come together and work so hard as a team. From the sound crew to the director, everyone was focussed and responded to the feedback from Sol amazingly.
Next week, we're onto post-production and any reshoots. It's staggering how quickly six weekends can fly by and the capacity of young people to absorb advice and new skills. Ultimately this is what the BFI Film Academy is all about. The success of the project will not be simply in the final edit of their films, but in the confidence and knowledge they have gained to go on and produce their own work in the future. The talent is there and we feel privileged to have helped them begin to hone their skills."

Alternatively, FACT's young people's programme, Freehand, run regular filmmaking, contemporary art and technology/digital media sessions for 13 - 25 year olds.

The Bright Side
My plan was to take a short hike in the woods today. The weatherman promised the day would be warmer. The temperature is suppose to reach the high 20s. Looking at the five inches or so of snow, I knew the going could get tricky, but I haven't been back to the waterfalls in weeks. Around 7:00 a.m. I took the dog out. Snowflakes greeted me. Looking off to the south the blackness of the trees was muted by the gauzy curtain of snow. There was no wind, so the snow was falling gently, big flakes slowly piling up on the outstretched tree limbs. I noticed the bird feeder was almost empty, but decided I needed coffee and boots before I took on that chore.
Coffee in hand, I sat at the kitchen table and watched the snow for a bit. My small kitchen has windows on three sides. The west wall is all windows, which gives me a great view. Soon the snowflakes became smaller, falling at an angle; the gauzy curtain grew more dense. I began to question the wisdom of going for a hike today. I need one. I've been in town for a few days, taking care of someone. I am going back tonight. In town, curtains cover the windows preventing people from watching, but they also shutout the sun, the birds, everything. I get a little claustrophobic when I stay in town.
I busy myself with small tasks, balance my checkbook, address Valentine's, read the mail. Reading the mail consists mostly of throwing out junk mail. How many times a week does that darn cable TV company need to send me an ad? I'm suppose to be on a no junk mail list.
Doereen and her baby come to visit. Last year's baby is now a teenager. They are nosing around the bird feeder. Unfortunately, it is empty now. They aren't too fond of sunflower seeds anyway, they prefer corn. Their tawny backs are collecting snow. They look fat; they have their fur fluffed out to trap air. Baby turns to look at me, she must sense I am looking at her. Her ears are up, but her tail is down. She is not alarmed by my stare, in fact, she stares back at me with big, soft eyes. Doereen ambles over to the compost pile to paw around. Sometimes she will eat something from the top of the pile, apple peels or old carrots most likely. This has been a tough year for wildlife. Bitter cold and deep snow make life hard for all of us.
Suddenly, the snow stops falling. Clouds still obscure the sun. The sky is as white as the ground. It is nearly 10:00 a.m. It is now or never for my hike. Even a short time outdoors appeals to me. The temperature isn't too bad. So off I go.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote a poem " Woods in Winter." It begins:
"When winter winds are piercing chill,
"And through the hawthorn blows the gale,
"With solemn feet I tread the hill,
"That overbrows the lonely vale."
The last stanza is:
"Chill airs and wintry winds! my ear
"Has grown familiar with your song
"I hear it in the opening year,
"I listen, and it cheers me long."
Mid-February is well past the opening of the year, but the chill airs and wintry winds are still with us. I'm not so sure they cheer me, though. Cold as it was, my short hike was rewarding. As I trudged through the deep snow in my heavy boots, I spied a female rufous-sided towhee, (Pipilo erythrophthalmus). At first I thought it was a robin, the shape and size are similar: chunky body and long tail. The female is a rich brown with rufous sides. The male is very striking with bold black back and wings and deep rufous sides.
I have called that particular bird a rufous-sided towhee but the people who dole out names, changed the name to Eastern Towhee. Originally, the Eastern Towhee and the Spotted Towhee of the west were considered distinct species. Biologists later decided that these were simply two subspecies, of a single species, the Rufous-sided Towhee. Recently, they changed their minds. Current field guides again recognize the Eastern Towhee in the East and the Spotted Towhee in the West. For those of us who have older field guides or learned to recognize birds decades ago, this can be a problem. By any name it is a beautiful bird. Towhees belong to the sparrow family. Look for their thick, triangular, seedcracking bill as a tip-off they're in the sparrow family. They are larger than most of their cousins.
The towhee is rather shy; I seldom see one and I've never seen one here on the Ridge in the winter. They live in the underbrush and dig in leaf litter for food. They also make their cup-like nest on the ground or near the ground in a shrub. Around here, they usually migrate south for the winter. Although sometimes in southern Indiana they do stay put for the winter.
The sun came out as I trudged back to the house. Lavender shadows of the trees crisscrossed the snow covered ground. The wind was still. Crows called to each other in the distance. The unmistakable track of an opossum crossed my path. I did not follow it.
'til next time,
