91 Premier Finishes 3rd at Far West Regionals (Posted: 7/4/2007)
Congratulations to the Leahi 91 Premier team that finished 3rd at the Far West Regionals in Las Vegas Nevada. The 91s lost in pool play to eventual GU16 Champion, Pleasanton Rage, but bounced back with wins against Les Bois,of Idaho and Jackson Hole Premier of Wyoming to advance to the quarterfinals. 91 Premier would meet Neusport Tabagators in the Quarterfinal Round. A boisterous hometown crowd cheered on the Tabagators (same team to beat the 91s in the semis 2 years ago in Colorado), but the 91 Premiers would beat the home town favorites on a goal by Kirsty Adams. Unfortunately, 91 Premier would drop their final game to FC Portland 1-0. Great work ladies...

Monk's Copy Shop
The Monk's Copy Shop, in the heart of Downtown Columbus, is something of an oddity. It's a full service copy shop, serving local businesses honorably. But as you walk by, you're struck by their window display: tons and tons of gorgeous handmade pottery, all for sale at extremely reasonable prices. Seriously, at a proper art gallery, these pieces would fetch exponentially more than the modest USD 5 and USD 10 price tags they command here. Asked Why the pottery? one clerk replied (clearly having answered this question many a time), "Well, we're a copy shop. What else would we put in the window?" Touché.

Perfect Wedding Invite!
Botanical Bliss Rectangle Invitations Clean, Classic, Beautiful design! The team at Magnet Street was so helpful - we wanted to change the wording on our response card and they did so easily! Oh, and we received these invites very quickly!
Amazing job
Sweetly Charmed Rectangle Invitations I ordered my invitations and got them so quickly. I was super impressed with the quality and so excited to see they had the same color of my bridesmaid dresses. I love them and can't wait to assemble them and send them out. Will definitely be recommending Magnet Street to all my future bride friends.
Clean and perfect
Sweetly Charmed Rectangle Invitations I was a little worried about the quality of online invitations but I ordered the sample first and once I saw how good the quality was i ordered our invitations. The design is clean, simple yet elegant. The colors were exactly what I wanted. I'm very pleased.
Bliss, is right! ... part two
Botanical Bliss Pocket Invitations Loved our Botanical Bliss save the date magnets, and love our pocket invitations just as much, if not MORE! Happy with our paper selection of Luxe Pearl, for how it adds that extra something; silver is one of our accent colors, and so the pearly sheen helps to dress and fancy up the invitation. I have a few critiques though, despite my love for this product: 1) I'm not a big fan of the Luxe Pearl envelope style, since (and MagnetStreet does include a disclaimer about this) it's hard to get stamps, labels, etc. to really stick well to it, 2) there's no slit in the front to insert the top into the bottom so that it closes flat, and 3) the RSVP Postcard and Enclosure Card are the same size, so there isn't one larger to make it so they stagger inside the pocket.
Love them!!
Botanical Bliss Square Invitations Beautiful invitations! So excited to send them out!

Jerry Gray spurns Longhorns for Titans
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Titans coach Mike Munchak has filled one of the biggest openings on his staff by hiring Jerry Gray away from the University of Texas to become Tennessee's defensive coordinator.
The Titans announced the move Saturday, a day after Munchak picked Gray up at the airport to interview him for the job.
Munchak said he respected Gray both as a player and a coach and was someone he knew right away he wanted to talk to about being his defensive coordinator.
AFC South blog
ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky writes about all things AFC South in his division blog.
"It was evident to me during interview process that he will fit well with us -- he is familiar with our system and the type of players that we have on the roster. He is a great teacher and a great person, and I think the players will respond well to his style," Munchak said.
Gray was hired by Texas, his alma mater, to be defensive backs coach and assistant head coach to Mack Brown last month. He was due to make $425,000, but this job meant at least doubling that for this season. Gray said in a statement that he knows the timing of this move isn't ideal.
"But this was something that I couldn't turn down," Gray said.
He replaces Chuck Cecil, who was fired in January a week before the Titans parted with coach Jeff Fisher.
A two-time All-American at Texas, Gray was a four-time Pro Bowl pick during his nine NFL seasons with the Los Angeles Rams, Houston Oilers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He started his coaching career with the then-Tennessee Oilers in 1997 as defensive quality control assistant when Munchak was promoted to offensive line coach.
Gray was promoted to secondary coach in 1999 and 2000. Samari Rolle and Blaine Bishop earned Pro Bowl honors in 2000 when the Titans ranked first in the NFL in fewest yards passing and total yards allowed.
He left in 2001 with Gregg Williams for Buffalo as defensive coordinator through 2005. His defenses in 2003 and 2004 ranked second in the NFL in each season for yards allowed. Both defenses ranked in the top 10 in points allowed. In 2004, the Bills led the NFL with 39 takeaways and were fifth in red zone defense.
He coached the secondary in Washington between 2006 and 2009 before moving to Seattle for the 2010 season. Gray played with Munchak during the 1992 season for the then-Houston Oilers.
"I have known Mike for a number of years and if he is a head coach like he was a player or a position coach, we are going to be in great shape, because he has had so much success and everything he does," Gray said.
This is Munchak's second hiring since taking over on Monday. He also hired close friend and fellow Hall of Fame lineman Bruce Matthews to replace him as the offensive line coach.
Munchak still has several openings left to fill including offensive coordinator, running backs assistant, defensive line and a couple of other assistants.

The genpets surfaced afther the creation of the website, they were creepy humanoid being displayed in blister packs (like action figures) but with the fact that they were living beings and not only that, they were claimed to be a new genetically modified especies.
the espread of this was similar to that of Bonsai kittens causing disgust and polemic among people
The truth:
Genpets are a mixed media installation art piece by artist Adam Brandejs.It is considered a hoax of exposure. The project has been shown in multiple galleries in Canada and Europe and has garnered some attention in the mass media.
The creations were sculpted, automated creatures made of latex and plastic, and housed robotic circuitry to simulate slow respiration. They looked like small, baldskinned and ugly humanoids, and were intended to be displayed as living, but dormant, bioengineered creatures for purchase as pets. The fabricated packaging indicated a purchaser had a choice of colors, for different personalities and levels of activity, and that the creatures had a limited vocal capacity. The sculptures and packaging, along with the professional-appearing hoax website, are so realistic that observers are often fooled.
In 2006, Genpets were featured on the weblog for The Museum of Hoaxes in San Diego, California. as well as broadcast on BBC News Worldwide on a BBC program called Click as well as the Times (UK), the New York Times and G4TechTV.
All the work was hand done by the artist Adam Brandejs, with assistance from makeup artist Crystal Pallister for the coloring of the creatures. The pictures show the actual 19 genpet units that display at art galleries. Genpets have been displayed at multiple Fine Art galleries and museum displays in both North America and Europe.
So in fact Genpets are not real at all
The confusion:
The elaboration of the "hoax" was so realistic that to this day some people still velive they are real, specially in places with heavy religious influence.
the confsion began afther the revelation of the hoax, since this generated so much polemic mails in seek of baning the genpets started circulating, the problem was tha due to poor translation and sensationalism in non english speaking places people started to think the artistic installation was a protest aganist the real thing, missunderstanding that the real thing was part of the installation
also in south america many newspaper and blogs stated and sustained this was a real abomination and neglected on resarch the truth behind it, that just created more confusion.
we shoul do things like this and play god… the thing is whe you play with dadys gun you migth shoot your own face

TORONTO – Toronto mayor Rob Ford late Tuesday chose not to step down after earlier in the day admitting to smoking crack cocaine.
The embattled politician told reporters of his decision not to resign during a statement at City Hall following a growing chorus of calls for him to do so.
"I have nothing left to hide," an emotional Ford told a press conference, afterward declining to take questions from the media.
Aside from repeating an apology without specifying why, the mayor made no mention of taking a holiday, a leave of absence or entering rehab.
"For the sake of the taxpayers of this great city, for the sake of the taxpayers, we must get back to work, immediately," Ford said, adding: "We must keep Toronto moving forward. I was elected to do a job. And that's exactly what I'm going to continue doing."
Ford said he had kept the truth about his drug taking from his family, staff and colleagues because "I was embarrassed and ashamed." But he also looked ahead to 2014 when he pledged to run for re-election.
"I know I have to regain your trust and your confidence. I love my job. I love my job. I love this city, and I love saving taxpayer money. And I love being your mayor," he said.
Ford has remained steadfast against resigning from his post since allegations of crack cocaine use first surfaced in May 2013 on the U.S. gossip website Gawker.
Earlier in the day, Ford surprised the media with an admission that he had smoked crack cocaine a year ago.
"Exactly. Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine," Ford told reporters at City Hall after the Toronto police last week revealed they have recovered the infamous video that Gawker first reported on in May 2013.
Despite his jaw-dropping confession, the mayor denies he has a drug addiction.

In a development that has largely been missed by mainstream media, the Pentagon early last month quietly declassified a Department of Defense top-secret document detailing Israel´s nuclear program, a highly covert topic that Israel has never formally announced to avoid a regional nuclear arms race, and which the US until now has respected by remaining silent. But by publishing the declassified document from 1987, the US reportedly breached the silent agreement to keep quiet on Israel´s nuclear powers for the first time ever, detailing the nuclear program in great depth. The timing of the revelation is highly suspect, given that it came

WASHINGTON — Senator Harry Reid, the tough tactician who has led Senate Democrats since 2005, will not seek re-election next year, bringing an end to a three-decade congressional career that culminated with his push of President Obama's ambitious agenda against fierce Republican resistance. Mr. Reid, 75, who suffered serious eye and facial injuries in a Jan. 1 exercise accident at his Las Vegas home, said he had been contemplating retiring from the Senate for months. He said his decision was not attributable either to the accident or to his demotion to minority leader after Democrats lost the majority in November's midterm

A pilot on the doomed Germanwings airliner that went down into the Alps Tuesday apparently was locked out the cockpit moments before the plane crashed, killing all 150 on board, the New York Times reported Wednesday afternoon. An investigator told the paper that evidence from a voice recorder indicated that the pilot had left the cockpit and could not re-enter. He tried knocking lightly on the door, and when there was no immediate answer, he began knocking more loudly. Finally, the source told the Times, audio on the recorder revealed: "You can hear he is trying to smash the door

On Wednesday, California Democrat Barbara Lee proposed a resolution in the House of Representatives that claims women will eventually be forced into prostitution in order to obtain life-sustaining food and water for their families. Lee introduced House Concurrent Resolution 29, warning that women will be forced into "transactional sex" to get enough food and clean water — all because global warming will create "conflict and instability" in the world. "Women will disproportionately face harmful impacts from climate change," Lee's resolution reads.

Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has spoken out publicly for the first time about his five-year captivity by the Taliban, hours after the U.S. Army officially charged him with desertion. CNN broke the news tonight, and Barbara Starr explained that in a lengthy document released by Bergdahl's civilian lawyer, there is a portion of the text in Bergdahl's own words, describing what he went through. Here's the part Starr read aloud: "I was kept in constant isolation for the entire fire years, with little to no understanding of time… told I was going to be executed… told I would have my ears

We learned on Wednesday that the United States Army is going to charge Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. If convicted, Mr. Bergdahl could face life in prison. This charge hardly came as a surprise to those who served with Bergdahl; they had immediately suspected him of desertion when he left his post in Afghanistan in 2009. Both President Obama and Susan Rice surely must have known all this before (a) Mr. Obama celebrated the deal in the Rose Garden last May with Bergdahl's parents and (b) National Security Adviser Susan Race declared Bergdahl had served his

PARIS — As officials struggled Wednesday to explain why a jet with 150 people on board crashed in relatively clear skies, an investigator said evidence from a cockpit voice recorder indicated one pilot left the cockpit before the plane's descent and was unable to get back in. A senior military official involved in the investigation described "very smooth, very cool" conversation between the pilots during the early part of the flight from Barcelona to Düsseldorf. Then the audio indicated that one of the pilots left the cockpit and could not re-enter. "The guy outside is knocking lightly on the door

Phil Robertson is an embarrassment, not a hero, and the socially conservative movement needs to distance itself from him immediately. Don't get me wrong — I agree that our culture is experiencing a terrifying shift towards censorship. People have become so easily offended that it's almost impossible to say anything without someone getting upset about it; and concepts like trigger warnings, safe spaces, and microaggressions are threatening free speech. But none of this changes the fact that Phil Robertson is an ignorant buffoon, and that many of his comments — despite the fact that he does have every right to

A collection of unique jewelry will keep you feeling trendy and interesting when you start to feel like you wear the same thing every day.

How to Clean a Tungsten Ring
Tungsten rings are hard and durable, making them low-maintenance. Unlike rings made of gold and silver, which are much softer metals, tungsten rings don't develop scratches easily and are tarnish-resistant. In fact, if your tungsten wedding ring has a polished finish, then it will always look shiny and will likely never develop scratches or blemishes. Tungsten jewelry is easy to care for, but it is important to know how to clean it because it is a metal that can react poorly with some cleaning solutions and methods.
How to Choose a Ring for a Man
A ring is a very personal gift, and choosing one for a man takes some careful consideration. Men's rings come in simple designs for men who prefer to keep their bling subtle, as well as flashy designs for men who love to accessorize with statement jewelry. Many men limit their jewelry to a wedding band, and others enjoy accessorizing with several rings and matching men's jewelry selections such as necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Plan ahead before you go ring shopping for the man in your life and consider several factors when choosing men's rings and men's wedding bands.

Titanium rings are durable, making them a popular choice for men's wedding bands and fine jewelry. Titanium rings are not limited to men's rings or the wedding band category, however, as they are available in such a wide range of styles.

Titanium rings are available in a variety of styles, including classic, simple men's titanium ring styles, interesting and textured wedding bands and unique women's rings. Titanium rings and jewelry can also support precious gemstones and inlaid metal banding. Consider our list when shopping for titanium jewelry.
5 New Trends in Women's Stainless Steel Rings
Stainless steel is very popular in men's rings, but many new women's ring styles are coming out in stainless steel. This metal is easier to care for than sterling silver because it doesn't tarnish, and it is also more affordable than gold, platinum, tungsten, and titanium. These many benefits have trendy women turning to stainless steel rings when they need a bit of extra shine and texture.
How to Compare Men's Diamond Rings
The diamond is definitely not gender-specific. Men can wear diamond rings to commemorate important occasions or simply add to their fashion. Like all types of men's jewelry, men's diamond rings come in many varieties to suit all tastes. Choose men's wedding bands with diamonds to show your commitment or wear a diamond ring to accent a nice outfit. Do not be intimidated if this is your first time purchasing a men's diamond ring.

Best Jewelry Ideas for Men
Jewelry can really add to the style of a man, depending on how he chooses to wear it. The type and quantity you choose to wear really says a lot about you. Wearing the right jewelry and watches can catch the eye and give you a look that is quite professional and classy, while wearing the wrong jewelry can appear tacky. Whether you are buying men's jewelry for yourself or shopping for men's watches, rings, necklaces and bracelets to give as gifts, the best men's jewelry ideas are those that reflect your personal style and contribute to a sophisticated look. Rings are one of the most common men's jewelry items and can require a lot of thought during the shopping process. Whether you are shopping for a men's wedding band, a special ring for an anniversary or Valentine gift or just want to add a nice ring to your jewelry collection, masculine rings come in a variety of styles to suit nearly every man's taste. Classic materials such as silver and gold are a great choice in men's rings because they are timeless and come in nearly every shape and size to fit you just right. On the other hand, materials such as tungsten, titanium and stainless steel are becoming popular choices for men's rings because of their durability and sleek, modern look. Men's rings are also available with diamonds and gemstones if you are interested in a ring with a little more flair. The right watch will add a lot to your daily look, and should also be a highly functional piece. You have a wide range of options when shopping for a men's watch. If you feel overwhelmed by the process, then you might try narrowing it down by price, material and functions. Men's watches are available in a wide range of prices, so establishing a budget is a great first step in the shopping process. Additionally, with so many styles available, it is important to have a general idea of the look and type of material that you want in a watch. Sporty watches with high quality plastic and leather straps are perfect additions to casual looks, while fancier watches made of gold, silver, titanium, stainless steel, tungsten and platinum can add a lot to a classy and dressy wardrobe. When it comes to functions, shopping for the perfect watch becomes very personal. Every man needs something different in a watch and you can find the perfect one for you, whether you want something very simple and basic or you desire a highly technical timepiece. Shopping for men's bracelets, necklaces and earrings can be a little tricky and requires some careful thought. Many men find that watches and rings are simply not enough for their jewelry wardrobe. There are many different kinds of men's bracelets, necklaces, earrings and other unique pieces that you can add to create the right look for you. These pieces come in many different varieties to suit your style preferences. Necklaces and bracelets made of gold, silver, titanium and platinum add a bit of polish to an outfit, while natural materials such as hemp and leather provide a more understated look. When shopping for men's earrings, personal style is a main factor and you can choose between studs with diamonds and gemstones, ear plugs, surgical steel hoops and many others. Don't be afraid to let your personal style shine through, use men's jewelry pieces to accentuate every outfit in your closet. View All Men's Jewelry Back to Guides Directory View All Men's Jewelry

a note on antisemitism
Last week I was accused of not being able to read and more seriously of being an antisemite. I would like to quote MJ Rosenberg in this regard, he says "To trivialise anti-Semitism (and by extension the Holocaust) by tossing the "anti-Semite" charge around with joyful recklessness is ugly, disrespectful, and obscene."
Here is a link that might be useful: misuse of language
ink - I am Jewish and I did not perceive anything you said as anti-semitic.
I think the fact that it clearly bothered you that someone called you that shows that you care. And it should bother you. From what I've seen, it's not true.
Just because you do not support the force used by the Israeli government does not make you an anti-semite. If it did, then call me one too!
Last week I was accused of... being an antisemite.
I saw that accusation, and I apologize for not offering a rebuttal in your defense. That label is often used when information countering hasbara is presented.
MJ Rosenberg has been receiving his share of attacks from Alan Dershowitz and the usual suspects.
From Rosenberg's site: I have been under assault by various people on the right for my vigorous criticism of AIPAC and its role in promoting confrontation with Iran. My critics are particularly irked that I use the term Israel Firster to describe people who, in my opinion, put the interests of the Israeli right above everything else. This includes politicians such as Newt Gingrich, who as far as I know, is not Jewish. Watching the AIPAC conference convinced me that I must recommit myself to fighting those who are working to lead this country and/or Israel to war in Iran.
But I will do so without using the term "Israel Firster." The term was coined in 1960 by the late Abram Leon Sachar, founding President of Brandeis University, and a renowned Jewish historian (his son Howard Morley Sachar remains the greatest historian of contemporary Jewry) and was first used by the elder Sachar in a speech he delivered that year to a Zionist organization.
It has proven to be a distraction, allowing the pro-war lobby to focus on my choice of words rather than the substance of my arguments. I will not be using it again, for many reasons including the fact that some good people were genuinely offended by it. That was not my intention. My intention is to focus like the proverbial laser on the threat posed by war with Iran and the 45 year occupation. [...]
My message is this.
Many of the same people who pushed us into Iraq are doing the same thing with Iran. They are pressuring Congress to prevent the president of the United States from negotiating with the Iranian government. They are banning diplomatic contacts. They are (as they have for a decade) hyping the Iranian threat, in part because they want a war and, in part, because they want to use President Obama's reluctance to jeopardize lives as a tool to defeat him In November. And they are demanding that should Iran develop a nuclear bomb, we must not contain the threat (as we did with the Soviet Union, China, North Korea, Pakistan, etc) but should immediately go to war.
I have been fighting to help achieve a secure Israel, at peace with its neighbors, for more than 43 years. I continue to do that by fighting against a war that could eradicate Israel and endanger Jewish security in the United States and throughout the world. This war has to be prevented. The issue must not be what label I use to describe the war agitators. It is what the Iran war agitators are doing. They must be stopped.
The first step is continuing to shine a light on their activities. That is what I do.
I second every comment.
It's their favourite M.O. to silence criticism, along with the "self-hating Jew", to silence dissent.
Both are thrown around here, we're quite used to it. Me, I don't even bother adressing their baseless BS.
Ink, don't let them get to you!
I simply don't understand why being critical of Israel's actions and policies equates to antisemitism.
Is being critical of Iran's or Palestine's actions and policies anti Muslim?
One can be critical of a countries polices without being critical or judgmental of the predominant religion.
I didn't see the accusation and don't know who this person who made it could have been - but I can only see where this person throwing that accusation around must have been one who stumbled upon this site, stirred the pot just for the fun of it and then left - because anyone who reads in this forum for any length of time longer than, say (to be completely fair) three weeks would know that if they were going to make up a list of probable candidates in this forum which could come close to fitting the term of being anti semitic, Ink would be one of the very last names on that list to ponder.
It's simply not in his nature.
Anyone who has been paying attention knows that already. So if it was somebody who has been here even a fairly short while, that was just a vicious hit with an ugly stick Ink, one not worthy of any notice at all.
Rosenberg sounds like my kind of guy, judging from all I know about him which is the above partial article. Most of us are horrified here of what might happen should there be a shooting war, and NO, we don't want one.
Has anyone seen the internet Iranian/Israeli posters flying around n Faceboook? I don't have FB, bu GF does and they are really wonderful.. I'll ask her to give me the link.
I am well aware how bandying about "antisemite" is used for anyone who doesn't agree with the extremist right in Israel. I have known antisemiitism, and disagreeing with the U.S. and Israel''s government polices on this issue, ain't it.
BTW, there is a demonstration here this weekend against any war with Iran, and I dearly hope it will be well attended by not-just-one-kind of Israeli.
I didn't see that thread...that is very wrong to carelessly use that term. I have never seen that from Ink. Anti-war is the term I would use.
John Stewart did a funny bit on this recently..."Hebrew Nationalist"
Here is a link that might be useful: In Israel you are allowed to criticize Israel
I saw this article that discusses the "Iranian/Israeli posters flying around n Faceboook"
I think that's just wonderful.
I was going to ignore ink's nonsense (a close relative of "nuisance"), but have chosen to respond. As many here didn't read the pertinent thread, I don't feel what ink has represented is totally accurate or complete. Here is his OP:
"...a tooth for a tooth a notion of retaliation that Israel interprets as: you send some rockets over that are a nuisance even though nobody gets hurt and so in return we send hi tech weaponry over in the middle of the night and kill 20 or more people and injure a few more. Seems only fair doncha think."
I in fact, specifically requested of Nancy NOT to muddle the issue of politics vs people. And in my mind, this thread of ink's wasn't about Israeli politics, just about people whose deaths and daily trauma was trivilalized and minimized by his use of the word "nuisance".
Here was my response:
"If you are going to take my words, take them correctly ink. There's nothing worse than an anti-semite who can't read.
And yes, anyone who characterizes suicide bombers and rocket attacks as a "nuisance" is not normal. Here's another "nuisance":
"On December 26, 2008 a mortar aimed at Israel killed two Palestinian girls in the Gaza Strip, aged 5 and 12." Wiki"
I stand by my post that ANYONE who characterizes these types of actions against any group of innocent people as a "nuisance", either is heartless or a hater.
Speaking out against Israeli policy is all it takes these days to bring the charge of anti-semitism. Which, as has been pointed out, diminishes the charge to nothingness. Actual anti-semites will have be given a new descriptor. In fact they have been, hence the popularity of the term 'neo-nazi'.

2009 MBS Topic: National Wildlife Refuges: Great Birding Made Even Better
For birders, National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs) offer spectacular destinations where birds can often be found in lavish abundance or in spectacular diversity. Some of the best birding to be found in the country is to be found on NWRs; some of the "most-wanted birds" are also to be found on refuges. This presentation reminds us about this reality and stresses some of the ways that refuges are striving to become better birding destinations.
Al Batt

2009 MBS Topic: Roger Tory Peterson: Yesterday and Today
Roger Tory Peterson was perhaps the greatest birder/naturalist of all time. His Field Guide to Birds, first published in 1934, is credited with launching the modern environmental movement and with moving bird study out of the shotgun era.

Jeffrey A. Gordon
2009 MBS Topic: How Technology Can EnhanceNot ClutterYour Birding
Every week brings news of various digital doodads that are supposed to make birding easier and/or more fun. But how well do these things really work? Do you need a degree in computer science to operate them? We'll ask representatives from a number of companies that offer tech-oriented birding devices to demonstrate their products, then open a discussion on how ipods, cameras, or computers might just join binoculars on your list of must-have birding equipment.
Alvaro Jaramillo
2009 MBS Topic: Bird ID Outside the Box
This workshop will aim to teach a little bit of birding voodoo and introduce other features to concentrate on while birding. It also aims to be fun and informative and certainly not above anyone's head. The hope is that you will come out of it aching to try out some of what you have learned and begin to claw yourself out of the birding box.
Dr. Andy Jones
2009 MBS Topic: Who Keeps Changing My Field Guide? A review of what scientists are up to that causes field guides and checklists to be revised so frequently.
This talk highlights several major reasons for why the common and scientific names of the birds are not the same today as when you first started birding (remember the Rufous-sided Towhee, the Slate-colored Junco, and the Northern Oriole?). It will also cover some of the prospects for future changes.
Sorry no audio file available for this program.
Kenn Kaufman
2009 MBS Topic: Flights Against the Sunset: Why We Need Birds
If you're caught in the grip of a birding addiction, how do you explain that to someone you love -- or to yourself? How do you make the lure of bird watching understandable for someone who has never tried it? No, Kenn doesn't know the answers to these questions, either. But in this wide-ranging and thought-provoking talk, he calls on a host of his unusual friends -- bikers, spies, monks, musicians, gourmet chefs, polar explorers, and more -- to help him look at the questions, and at the birds themselves, from a series of brand-new angles.

Jim McCormac
2009 MBS Topic: Birding Ohio's Lake Erie Shore

Whether you're from the Buckeye State or from some far-flung corner of the bird watching universe you won't want to miss this entertaining and informative program.
Arthur Morris, Birds As Art
2009 MBS Topic: Digital Bird Photography Basics

Wayne R. Petersen
2009 MBS Topic: Tattlers, Twitchets, and Creakers: Getting To Know Inland Shorebirds.
Lots of birders typically associate shorebirds only with coastal regions, yet many species regularly migrate in large numbers through interior areas as well. Where appropriate conditions exist, sometimes hundreds of individuals of a variety of species can be found concentrated in appropriate habitats during both spring and fall migration. This brief workshop will offer some thoughts on where to look for some of these species and how to recognize them when they are encountered. Notes on behavior, feeding ecology, molt, and plumage acquisition will be included that collectively should be helpful in sorting out these often similar species.

Join naturalist and author Scott Weidensaul as he traces the unpredictable history of bird study in America, from frontier ornithologists (one of whom barely escaped pursuing Apaches with a precious hawk egg hidden in his mouth) to society matrons who organized the first effective conservation movement; from luminaries like Alexander Wilson (a convicted blackmailer) and Audubon (an accomplished liar) to modern geniuses like Roger Tory Peterson.
