As was to be expected after a day and night of strong westerly winds, migration is a little quiet on Wednesday.
Small numbers of finches continue to move and involve the usual suspects. Linnet, Goldfinch, Siskin, Chaffinch and Redpoll. The numbers are in the low tens, with the exception of Chaffinch that are moving through east coast sites in the low hundreds.
Waxwings continue to trickle into the country. The first 100+ flock has been seen on Orkney and smaller flocks are being found along the east coast. There are probably around 300-350 Waxwings in the country at present.
Small numbers of Swallow are still on the move. How much longer might we see them moving through migration watchpoints?
Whooper Swans don't seem to be arriving at the moment but that could change later Thursday and into today.
All posts are reactively-moderated and must obey the house rules.
Join the discussion...
Thanks for that update. Just thought you might like to know that there have been two reports of Waxwing irruptions in Assynt at Stoer (pronounced 'store' as in shop) 100+ and at Drumbeg 50+ both on 1st November - Assynt is in south-west Sutherland so looks like some Waxwings have gone straight over the country to get at our huge rowan berry crop. Also a report of 5 in a garden at Inverkirkaig today 2nd November.
I addition we have had small numbers of Whoopers moving through since 2nd October with max. count of 7 on 18th October and the odd Brambling. Lots more stuff on Assynt Field Club site.
Good birding.
Whilst walking home from the service at the local war memorial yesterday morning I saw a flock of 50+ waxwings stripping two rowan trees in Dingwall. They were in no hurry to move on despite being hassled by a crow.

Game of Thrones: Garden of Bones - A Novel Approachby Carissa Pavlica at . Comments
Would anyone have had so much disrespect for Catelyn Stark to send Littlefinger to her baring Eddard Stark's bones? Not in George R. R. Martin's written series, "A Song of Ice and Fire," they wouldn't. That's just one of the differences encountered this week.
Check out some more below and be sure read the official TV Fanatic "Garden of Bones" review by Matt Richenthal.
Sansa got off lightly
We witnessed some pretty wicked field surgery while her brother, Robb, was at war, completely at the whim of the screenwriters, as they highly lightened the sentence Sansa suffered at the hands of her "love" Joffrey. Not only was she more severely beaten in the novel, she was also smashed over the head with a melon in an attempt by her man to humiliate her rather than hurt her, thus saving her from Joffrey's wrath.
Tyrion did save the say, and cared for a severely wounded Sansa in the Tower of the Hand, again showing her the utmost care and compassion.
Given Tyrion's love of whores, he would have never submitted the two to Joffrey at that particular time. It was a wonderful way to extend just a bit more hatred for the boy king, as if we hadn't already had our fill. I found it an interesting choice to go lightly on Sansa and save the pain for the fallen ladies. Was that done to give the audience a break? Perhaps a belief that Martin wrought too much upon the Stark girls and another way to show Joffrey's tyranny was in order.
The Garden of Bones
The phrase was never used in the books. Interesting, no? While the idea was made clear, Qarth (am I the only one who thinks this word must be added to the Word With Friends dictionary?) only allowed those to enter from whom they could pluck their very life, it was never uttered.
As Dany's story continued to change, she was denied entrance to Qarth upon arrival. How would the city have become the Garden of Bones if they had played at such games? Part of the ease of creating said bones was their false hospitality, given without a fight. Dany didn't have to fight to get her people inside as the gate was opened willingly and anxiously upon her arrival. But the television Daenerys has had to fight even to be fooled.
Not my Tyrion
As I said earlier, my Tyrion would never disrespect Catelyn Stark so much as to send the creepy Littlefinger, a louse of a man with an incurable crush on Catelyn, to impart Eddard's bones to her. Tyrion did ensure Ned's bones made their way to Catelyn, but not by Littlefinger's hand. It rather disgusts me that this route was chosen. It didn't bear well for the character of Tyrion, and it did nothing to endear us to Baelish. What was the point?
That was a letdown
For all the build up of the meeting between Stannis and Renly, it was barely a blip on the screen. I found that a bit disappointing as the confrontation in the book had a lot more to offer other. For example, it was then that Catelyn first learned of the possibility that Cersei's children were born by incest, and that Lysa's claim Jon Arrryn was killed at her hand might be true. What is to come would be more harrowing had their conversation lasted just a bit longer.
Hit the comments to tell me what inconsistencies you found. What did you think about Arya and Gendry? Did I get anything wrong? Will anything that changed tonight impact what's ahead? Thanks for reading!

If I may present a point of view for the Baelish perspective:
Littlefinger is good at managing money, but doesn't have a seat of his own. This means he doesn't have any banners he can call, and like Pycelle and Varys, he must depend on his ability to produce services for others in power. Unlike Pycelle, but like Varys, Littlefinger has an agenda separate from the Lannisters. If you read the novels you see that Littlefinger turns out to be one of the few legitimate chances for vengeance/justice for the North (the Starks in particular).
He loves Catelyn, but misunderstands her as she holds duty to her father (marrying a Stark)over any affection she might have had for Petyr. In a world where might and magic makes right, Petyr must survive on the outside by using his wits and wiles. In direct contrast with Ned Stark, Baelish seems "a louse of a man", but realistically he did all he could for Ned including warning him not to support Stannis. He saved Ned's life and negotiated for his release into the Night's Watch. We all should know by now that Janos Slynt actually betrayed Ned Stark for Harennhal and the title of Lord, not Littlefinger's coin. And it was Joffrey's brutality & Ned's slight against Ilyn Payne; the King's justice, that truly led to the beheading. The slight being: Ned picked Beric Dondarrion to capture the Mountain for raiding villages in the river lands instead of Payne. GRRM weaves a twisted web. I would not say that Littlefinger is a particularly good character at all times, but neither is he craven to perform the deceptions against those whom would surely kill him outright had they known.
Where is my "eat a peach" from Renly? Did we get a scene where a messenger told Renly Storm's End was under attack from Stannis? Because it was weird to get that meeting on the show without some context.
Actually mods feel free to delete my previous comment as it contains a spoiler for people who haven't read the books (which I assumed would not be reading this).
I may be mis-remembering as it is a long time since I read the book, but was the birth of the shadow not in a later chapter, with the shadow (this one) that kills Renly being much more mysterious?
From the moment I read the birthing scene, I wondered how it would be portrayed in the show. I couldn't have been happier - so visceral and creepy! I liked that they finally gave some context to the relationship between Stannis and Davos (and the finger bones), but I didn't think it was very clear exactly where Davos and Mel were actually going afterward. Perhaps I missed it in the conversation betwen Dacvos and Stannis?
Sansa got off lightly because the actress that plays her is underage (15-16). She can't be naked like in the book, and they have limited filming hours.
In trying to discern the internal logic behind the additional joffrey scene, I think Ros might be the intended focus. She might be possibly being set up for a future plot point particular to the tv adaption. This would also be the reason for her additional scenes at the Brothel like the witness of the Herod-esque baby killing spree. And how awesome was the birthing scene! A visual and literal metaphor for an additional form of power: birthing. Creation of life. Ironically, the first women to utilize this power on the show did so to. . . well, for darker purposes o0

Seth Morrison - The Ordinary Skier Trailer 2
For Seth Morrison, skiing is much more than a sport or job, it's a way of life. It's not a privilege he was born with; it's a passion he discovered on his own.
Through hard work and dedication, Morrison has become one of the best skiers in the world. The Ordinary Skier traces his journey from the middle class suburbs of Chicago to the Colorado Rockies and into the underground ski-bum subculture that would eventually become Freeskiing.
This is the story of how a collection of misfits turned an elite sport upside down, and how an ordinary kid chased his dream and became one of skiing's most iconic heroes.

The best rapper under 30? That's what Lloyd Banks (aka "Blue Hefner") coined himself, and with the bevy of endless talent under that age, what better way to solidify his new moniker than to follow up his hit debut album, Hunger For More, with another gem? Rotten Apple is the album with aims to do so, and the task is to finish out the year better than G-Unit started, after tanks from Tony Yayo and Mobb Deep. With a title like Rotten Apple, of course Blue Hefner is attempting to bring New York back, but as the upteenth artist to claim he's going to single-handedly accomplish this, Banks fails like the others.
The album opens with the gritty, Havoc produced Rotten Apple featuring 50 and Prodigy, with its screeching violins and back breaking drums where Banks tells us he's here "to get it." Doing his best LL impersonation, Banks misses on "Help" featuring Kiri Wilson and "Addicted" featuring Musiq Soulchild. Enter 9th Wonder, who lays the smooth, upbeat "One Night Stand", where Blue tells the ladies that he'll be "here today and gone tomorrow." The lead single "Hands Up", produced by Eminem and featuring 50, hits the spot with its high-energy and battering drums. "Cake", the bass heavy teaser for the LP built Banks' buzz, as he boasts: "I've been gone all winter, but now a nigga back for the cake / I need the bread, lil niggaz need Christmas, Banks don't rap with a backpack, I'm in it for the money, the money / the cake!" The God Rakim lends his voice to the chorus of "You Know The Deal", where Banks shines over concrete mid 90′s, truck blaring NYC production style, where he murders the track spewing: "All they want to do is chit chat and make tapes about him/ till they lost like Malcolm before the nation got him/ I done Timberland tanned the couple/ my wrists chunky like Campbell's soup."
Never short on punchlines and braggadocio rhymes is Banks. But, this is also his downfall. "Playboy 2″ showcases usually reliable Ron Browz disappointing with a sonic massacre, where Blue Hefner continues his endless talk about his adventures since being signed. The endless gun talk gets redundant with the Needlz produced "Get Clapped", featuring Mobb Deep, where Banks could've actually done better without their assistance. "Stranger" is simply strange, while "Change" sounds like it should've been packed into one of his "Money in the Bank" mixtapes. The Eminem produced "NY, NY" does a disservice to both the Dogg Pound / Grandmaster Flash cuts it's modelled after, and does little to rebuild hip-hop's capital city. Meanwhile, in a desperate attempt to cater to the dominant southern region, Banks falls flat on his face with "Iceman", featuring Young Buck, 8ball & MJG, and Scarface, as so much talent is wasted on a horrible track. The last track on the album "Gilmore", simply sounds like the engine of a car that's been running for too long.
Rotten Apple personifies NYC in certain aspects, but fails to reach beyond the Mecca. Diversification is the key to the future success of Banks. It has to go beyond the girls, guns, clothes, and all the luxuries of his life. So, the sophomore slump has undoubtedly struck here. Now it's all about "Survival", like one of the tracks on the LP. Hunger for More may have put Banks on the fast road to stardom, but Rotten Apple brought him a few steps back. Unless he finds some way to rebound, Banks is on track to becoming to 50 what Bleek is to Jay, unfulfilled potential.

Smiles across the miles
I made this card with 2 things in mind - I'm submitting it to the "Anything Goes" challenge at the Mama Elephant & Me blog and I'm going to send it to my friend Jeannie, who lives on the other side of the country. I just love the Mama Elephant stamps and dies, this little critter with her umbrella is just so sweet!
So glad you stopped by, Smile big :)
Polka Dot Shoes
A new stamp, isn't it something? I made this card for the challenge over at the Fusion Challenge. I used the photo side of the challenge for my card as the stamp has this big daisy. I love red shoes and would love to have a pair of red polka-dot shoes, yes I would. No heels though, me and "high" heels just don't work well together :)
So glad you stopped by today!

Mike DiGiovanna Rumors
Rumor Royalty: Mike DiGiovanna (Angels)
Mike DiGiovanna of the L.A. Times has been named Rumor Royalty for the Angels; he is the best source of Halos hot stove buzz. He was kind enough to answer three questions for MLBTR.
MLBTR: What do you make of the Paul Konerko rumors? Do you think the Angels and Sox have had post-Meetings discussions about him, despite Kenny Williams' claim otherwise?
DiGiovanna: I had heard the White Sox and Angels might be up to something four or five days before that report came out. I made several calls looking into the matter, as did my counterpart from the Chicago Tribune, White Sox beat writer Mark Gonzales, and after two or three days, we determined that there had been exploratory conversations between the teams during the winter meetings but nothing substantive since. Neither of us decided to write anything on it. Then a report was published claiming the Angels and White Sox were discussing a deal that would send Howie Kendrick and Ervin Santana to Chicago for Konerko. I was very skeptical about it because the Angels would not trade Kendrick straight up for Konerko, let alone Kendrick AND Ervin Santana. Then that afternoon, Kenny Williams shot down the rumor forcefully, saying on the record that there had been no talks with the Angels since the winter meetings and that he hasn't discussed Konerko. I know GMs don't always tell the whole truth, but when a GM knocks down a rumor so forcefully, I tend to believe him.
I know Angels Manager Mike Scioscia likes Konerko a lot, but Konerko will be 32 this season, he's got three years and some $30 million left on his contract, and I don't think his power projects as well outside of U.S. Cellular Field, a known hitter's haven. The Angels might get almost as much production, though without as many homers, from first baseman Casey Kotchman for a lot less money over the next three years.
MLBTR: Will the Angels will make a push to sign Francisco Rodriguez to an extension during the season? What kind of dollars and years would you expect?
DiGiovanna: New GM Tony Reagins does not seem at all motivated to secure Rodriguez to a long-term deal, and since the two sides were unable to come to terms on a 2008 contract before exchanging arbitration figures last week—Rodriguez wants $12.5 million; the Angels offered $10 million—that's an indication that they are still far apart on a multiyear deal. Rodriguez believes he is one of the top closers in the game and thinks he should be paid like one, so I would not be surprised if he is seeking a deal similar to the three-year, $45-million contract Mariano Rivera signed this winter. The Angels like Rodriguez and would love to lock him up for a few years, but I don't think they want to pay him $15 million a year. I think Rodriguez will become a free agent after the season, the Angels will move Scot Shields into the closer role and, if there is still no spot for him in the rotation, convert Ervin Santana to a set-up man.
MLBTR: Is Ervin Santana the odd man out as far as the Angels' six starters? Do you expect him to be with the organization on Opening Day?
DiGiovanna: Barring injury to any of the other starters, yes, I think Santana will be the odd man out unless he has a phenomenal spring training and Joe Saunders struggles. John Lackey, Kelvim Escobar, Jon Garland and Jered Weaver are rotation locks, so Saunders and Santana will battle for the fifth spot. But in talking to Angels scouts and front-office executives, I get the sense they think Saunders—now that Bartolo Colon is out of the picture—has earned a big league spot, that he has done all he can in the minor leagues, and that another demotion to triple-A Salt Lake would be detrimental to the left-hander. They also like having at least one left-hander in their rotation.
However, I think Santana will not only be with the organization on opening day but on the big league roster. He has shown during his brief stints as a reliever that he can be very effective coming out of the bullpen, and he would be valuable as a swing man, a guy who could pitch long relief or spot start in case of injury. The Angels also may use this season to start grooming Santana into a short reliever.

The only thing I am pleased about is the color. The workmanship is poor, it is made out of scrap pieces a and pieces of the bracelet scrape your skin. The length of the bracelet s small, so it fits very tightly, which also makes it uncomfortable as well. I was going to buy a few of these as gifts, I am glad I didn't.
I purchased this bracelet for a big event. It arrived in time and looked great!

Loved the jetpack
Nefilim927's comments
@Crackdown: That would also seem correct
@Crackdown: Well it seems we have the head of Ultimate Ultron, the Serpent Crown, the armor of the High Evolutionary, Cap's Shield, the tessarect, maybe some Norn Stones, other than that I'm not too sure.
@Jake Fury: :-( indeed
So I thought I understood that everyone forgot that Peter unmasked to the public, but anyone could find out on their own accord. If that is the case, am I the only one who thinks it is utterly ridiculous that Peter's identity is still "secret"??
Sweet, nearly 3 hours of awesomeness.
@DATNIGGA: Nothin that's happened thus far, might just be some random art
@doomsilver: Yea he looked pretty dead with 3 holes in the chest but I added him before he came back in Ultimate Comics Spider-Man, only to appear to be shot dead again.
Hell yeah, return of the 2 hr+ podcast!!
False advertising at its finest...Not the worst issue but I would have dropped this book this week if Red Robin wasn't on the cover

On Tuesday, the Sun in your sign meets up with Saturn for the last time in this two and a half year cycle. On the one hand, this could be cause for celebration since you have concrete proof that a situation is in the bag; on the other hand, you may be experiencing a sense of disappointment because you have not got the answer you wanted.
This mid-November period is one of rationalization: you know where you stand and can now move forward accordingly. You have earned your success and even if you're feeling bruised by events, you will have success in the future. Not for the first time have I advised you to bear victory with humility and defeat with good grace.

November 2014
Saturn has a handful of weeks left in your sign, so, on the one hand, you have until Christmas to complete a task that has involved many months if not years of effort; and, on the other, a matter of weeks left in the land of frustration and disappointment. November has an aura of completion about it: you will be able to close the book on a situation and you should experience a sense of relief and satisfaction. Even so, the days on and around the 13th, 18th and 26th could prove tough going: you may have to face a painful fact or postpone an event to which you were looking forward, but in the big sweep of time such things will pale into insignificance. With Venus in your sign until the 16th you should feel loved and appreciated, and if you are planning to take your vows or sign a long-term contract, November is the time to do so.
Two down; one to go! Yes, Saturn is on its way out of your sign, and he's been keeping the best till last. Over the past two years, you have had no choice but to learn patience and gain strength, and it is these qualities that now provide the platform for success. You should also add courage to that list of virtues, because with Jupiter in the zone of life-goals from July onwards opportunities will arise that could take you to the top, and certainly into new territory.
(I hope you're planning to travel in 2014, because people and places far away could be the passport to a new and better future.) The eclipses of 29 April and 23 October should produce some of the year's highlights, and if you want the earth to move, you should aim to get going around those dates.
You won't be taking into 2015 everything that and everyone who is with you at the start of this year: Saturn and his scythe will be making cuts, but like a butterfly, the only way you can use those wings is to break out of the chrysalis.
You are quite a different person from who you were at the start of the Saturn cycle in 2010: older, wiser and seasoned to perfection! You have come through tough times and sad times, but your spirit is strong and if you ended a long-term relationship you're ready to dip your toes again in the magical waters of romance.
June and late October through November are times when Venus will be helping the cause of true love, and if you meet someone on or near those eclipse dates, he or she could be the "One". 10 May, 13 June, 13 and 18 November are other dates of importance. Fear must not be allowed to prevent you from entering or leaving a relationship.
Once you make your move from the heart, the universe will back you. Also, don't feel used and abused simply because you are the one making the money and doing more of the work of relationship: deep down you like it this way – it gives you power and control.
The only one standing in the way of that position you want, that goal you have in your sights, is you. On the one hand, you do not make it easy for people to give you a leg up the ladder, and, on the other, when you get frustrated you sabotage your opportunities. So, your first affirmation of 2014 should be: exude positivity and confidence whatever the circumstances.
A job could come up that will draw on skills that have been largely unused or you may be offered a position far away from the home base. Once Jupiter arrives on your Mid-heaven (16 July) doors will open and the spotlight will be on you.
In some cases, this will translate quite literally in that you will experience a degree of fame, but for most Scorpios this is simply a year-long period in which good fortune and positions of leadership can be yours. As for money: any problems can be resolved satisfactorily, but you will need to start saving.
