Sense and Sensibility
Dec. 19, 2012 at Quadracci Powerhouse
From the author of Pride and Prejudice comes this heartwarming, humorous tale of two sisters struggling to move past a family disaster. Sensible, reserved Elinor and passionate, impulsive Marianne find the road to true love beset with dashing suitors, well-meaning relatives, devoted friends, devious rivals, scandalous secrets and unexpected twists in a period-perfect adaptation that captures all of the deliciousness, flirtation, and folly of Austen's well-loved novel.

CLEVELAND - There's never a hesitation from Joe Haden when asked which receiver he thinks is the best in the NFL.
Unfortunately, or fortunately - depending on your loyalties - the Browns cornerback might not get an opportunity to face Calvin Johnson when the Browns host the Detroit Lions Sunday at First Energy Stadium. Johnson missed last week's game against the Green Bay Packers with an injured knee and his status for Sunday is questionable.
There's a part of Haden that would like to see a healthy Johnson on the field. Having perhaps the best season in his four-year NFL career, Haden could gain plenty of attention for his Pro Bowl aspirations with a good game against the best.
"The team and the Browns fans might not want him out there, and I might not want him out there, too, but if he plays it's always good to go against the best," Haden said. "But if he doesn't, it's a big help and a big knock for the offense."
Haden doesn't hide his desire to earn his first Pro Bowl selection. Both Haden and safety T.J. Ward have a Xerox copy of a map of the state of Hawaii in their dressing stalls as a constant reminder of the goal.
There have been a few negative comments about tweets by Haden in reference to his Pro Bowl goals. He doesn't think it's a problem as long as he keeps the mission of the team in mind.
"I think it's okay," Haden said. "That's just an individual goal of mine. It has nothing to do with me not thinking about the squad or anything. It's just something like, 'hey, it'd be nice if I went to the Pro Bowl.' "
Haden hasn't yielded many passing yards this season, and he's yet to be beaten deep. His biggest task was two weeks ago against A.J. Green of the Cincinnati Bengals. Green showed obvious signs of frustration in being limited to seven receptions for 51 yards.
Green is close to the top of the list of receivers in Haden's pecking order. Johnson, an imposing figure at 6-5 and 236 pounds, has skills that no other receiver in the league possesses. He's proven his excellence in six previous seasons, catching 488 passes for 7,836 yards and 54 touchdowns.
"For one thing, his quarterback (Matthew Stafford) has so much confidence in him and he's able to just go up and get the ball," Haden said. "His range of catching the ball is tremendous. He's fast, strong, and he has a really good quarterback throwing it to him, so that always helps."
The Browns have prepared this week as if Johnson will play. He missed Wednesday's practice. He wore a brace but wasn't able to run routes Thursday.
The decision by Lions coach Jim Schwartz on Johnson's availability will likely be made shortly before the start of the game.
"It's completely different," Haden said. "You can tell if you're missing a dynamic player like him. It's like his comfort blanket basically (for Stafford). So if he's missing him, it's going to be a completely different offense. But with him, you've always got to know where he's at. They move him around and they just try to get him the ball anyway possible.
Not having that option would be a big blow for the Lions.

Making good use of those scraps!
Do you ever get your kit and as you go through the smaller tags and embellishments you find yourself wishing you had more of them? I do that almost every month! Today I want to show you just a couple of ways to use your scraps to actually make more of what you love from your kits. It's one of my favorite ways to use my smaller pieces or my favorite pieces too.
I gather some of the shapes or pieces that I like so much and a piece of cardstock. You could also use a heavier cardboard or chipboard works well too.
You simply need to lay your items out and trace around them.
As you can see from this photo, I have some extra "help" when I am scrapping sometimes. These little toes belong to my youngest, Teague, and he was insisting on standing under me for each photo that I snapped for this blogpost. I couldn't help but not edit his piggies out for at least one picture in this post. It's so real life and it just shows you that scrapping is something that you can do even when the little ones are "in the way". I love to hand my kids blank paper or extra stickers or stamps to play with when I am busy with my scraps too. I think it just makes them love scrapping even more and it certainly keeps them entertained and they get to be creative too. So that's my bonus scrap tip for the day. Let your kids play and eveyone is happy!
Okay. Back to the simple tip on using those scraps. =) Just cut them out and now you have templates to be used on any patterned paper or vellum or add glue and glitter and you have a whole new set of embellishments to use on your next project, layout, card or Day in the Life page.
As you can see, using the pieces as templates not only uses your scraps, but it adds extra fun to the kits we all love each month by giving you more of your favorite pieces. As you can see in the card I made for my mom this past weekend, the tiny envelope on her card looks nothing like the little Maya Road kraft one that came in the kit. But it's the very same one…just traced and cut from colored, patterned paper.
I like to keep my templates in a box all their own and I pull it out and use my shapes, or cut more and add to my box each month. My kids like to trace the shapes and my youngest boys are just getting to the age where they are learning to cut them out with my help too. I am sure that there must be some truth to the family that scraps together, stays together. Or makes a mess together. Or something like that. =) I hope this has sparked an idea or two in your own creative mind today. Have fun tracing, cutting and using up all the great scraps that add up each month. They can sometimes turn out to be the best part of the kit!

Okay – ingenius for the envelope template – what a DUHH moment for me. TFS Jody! And loved seeing your smiling face over at Websters yesterday!

What a great idea. Duh, why didn't I think of that? Love the little piggies in the photo.
Marti Richards on May 17, 2013 at 3:42 pm
Brilliant! And, I love the piggies!
Eunice Robertson on May 24, 2013 at 2:14 am
I do exactly the same with the "leftovers" from chipboard shapes. I have two that were left from when I bought cards of chipboard flowers, and I use them as templates over and over again. Because they are also chipboard,they can stand up to a lot of handling.
Fine Craft Guild on May 24, 2013 at 3:24 am

Sir.—Reexpansion pulmonary edema (REPE) is an uncommon problem that afflicts the reexpanded lung after evacuation of a large pneumothorax or pleural effusion. There are many accounts of REPE occurring in adults, but to my knowledge, this problem has not been reported in the pediatric population. A boy is described in whom severe unilateral pulmonary edema occurred after evacuation of a large pleural effusion.
Patient Report.—An 8-year-old boy weighing 40 kg was admitted for treatment of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. He had no previous neurologic abnormality. The patient's medical history was remarkable for multiple bouts of infection, including a right-sided pneumococcal pneumonia 3 months before admission. One month after the pneumonia, he underwent a right pleural decortication because of recurrent pleural effusion. Two weeks before admission, a chest roentgenogram showed moderate right- and left-sided pleural effusions. During these 2 weeks, he experienced worsening shortness of breath.
On admission, the patient

Planning on buying a house this year?
If you're even slightly squeamish, get ready to do some extra detective work.
If the property was the site of a bloody crime, the seller does not have to divulge that scrap of information.
In a decision handed down last week, a panel of Pennsylvania Superior Court judges reaffirmed that the sordid reputation of a home - no matter how gruesome - does not count as a "material defect" and does not have to be disclosed to a buyer.

Some 20,000 people took to the streets of Manchester in northwest England Sunday protesting against the government's austerity measures in attempts to cut the deficit.
The march took place as Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservative party opened its annual autumn party conference.
Left-wing activists and students teamed up with union members to take part in the rally for "The Alternative". They say the coalition government's cuts to public spending and tax hikes are slowing economic growth and stiffling jobs.

Great deal when they're on sale

Comments about RaceFace Race Face 53/39t Chainring Set:
I bought my first set of these rings to put on a vintage Centurion Ironman using a 6-speed group and chain. Even though they are spec'd for 9/10 speed, they operate as they should and look great.These are a good deal at Nashbar's everyday price and a terrific deal during a one day sale. I've since bought 2 more sets to use on future vintage builds.As a side note, the finish is a matte silver, not a smooth, shiny aluminum. The bolts that come with it are black which I change out to silver.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Wears out quickly!
By Thomas
from Kenosha, WI
The 53T ring lasted less than 6 months (2000 miles).Other chainrings have lasted for 5+ years (15000 miles). I bought extra sets because they were so cheap and expected quick wear, but not that quick!You get what you pay for, I guess!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Great deal!

I went from 52 tooth to this 53 tooth....works good.

great value; but...
By bonxalot
from Glocester, RI
the chainsuck pin that keeps the chain from getting jammed between the crankarm and outer ring is in a dissimilar position to the Shimano and Sugino spiders that I rescued from the scrap heap. The pin ends up in between the chainring mounting bolts. I didn't realize this till I mounted them; probly shoulda looked closely at the image on website before ordering...OTOH, I never let my derailleurs get out of whack, and the cranksets are back in service with beautiful fully pinned/ramped rings!
Nice set of rings!
By CycleSteve
from Irvine, CA
Got these to replace my worn out Dura-Ace and to my surprise they weren't that much heavier! Great value!!
Hard to find - 53/39T
By GNAC
from Broken Arrow, OK
A reasonable cost replacement for the original equipment with over 3,000 miles and starting to show wear on the teeth.As I have minimal miles on it - hard to say how it will wear.So far I am happy with it....Too early to recommend or not.
Good Rings
By rickinhouston
from Houston, Texas
What can I say? It goes round and round and round.. Its as good as the stock ring or better, I just needed the 53 T instead of the stock 50. Works great.
Excellent value!
By Jimbo
from Memphis
Great looking chainrings, light, with great power transfer; clean aerodynamic!
Excellent Value!
These were a great replacement for my aging Ultegra 53/39s, very stiff with excellent power transfer and quick shifting! They are a beautiful stainless steel look and accentuate my cranks; a great value!

Find answers to questions about ITP and Nplate® Talk to Your
A Doctor Discussion
Guide helps you start
the conversation
Nplate® Side Effects
Multiple medical studies confirm the safety profile of Nplate®, including a long-term follow-up1-3
- The most common side effects were mild to moderate and did not increase over time.
- Headache was the most common side effect.
Not all patients will respond to Nplate®. Individual patient results may vary. Discuss Nplate® with your doctor.
Please see Important Safety Information to learn about additional side effects associated with Nplate®.
Nplate® is a man-made protein medicine used to treat low blood platelet counts in adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), when certain other medicines, or surgery to remove your spleen, have not worked well enough.
Nplate® is not for use in people with a precancerous condition called myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or low platelet count caused by any condition other than chronic (lasting a long time) immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Nplate® is only used if your low platelet count and medical condition increase your risk of bleeding. Nplate® is used to try to keep your platelet count about 50,000 per microliter in order to lower the risk for bleeding. Nplate® is not used to make your platelet count normal. It is not known if Nplate® works or if it is safe in people under the age of 18.
Important Safety Information
What is the most important information I should know about Nplate®?
Nplate® can cause serious side effects:
Worsening of a precancerous blood condition to a blood cancer (leukemia): Nplate® is not for use in people with a precancerous condition called myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or for any condition other than chronic (lasting a long time) immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). If you have MDS and receive Nplate®, your MDS condition may worsen and become an acute leukemia. If MDS worsens to become acute leukemia you may die sooner from the acute leukemia.
Higher risk for blood clots:
- You may have a higher risk of getting a blood clot if your platelet count becomes high during treatment with Nplate®. You may have severe complications or die from some forms of blood clots, such as clots that spread to the lungs or that cause heart attacks or strokes. Your healthcare provider will check your blood platelet counts and change your dose or stop Nplate® if your platelet counts get high.
- If you have a chronic liver disease, you may get blood clots in the veins of your liver. This may affect your liver function.
Loss of response: If you do not experience results from Nplate®, your immune system may have created a response that is counteractive to Nplate®. Your healthcare provider will monitor your platelet counts and test your blood regularly to determine if this is an issue.
Blood test monitoring: Your healthcare provider will check your platelet count every week and change your dose of Nplate® as needed. This will continue until your healthcare provider decides that your dose of Nplate® can stay the same. After that, you will need to have blood tests every month. When you stop receiving Nplate®, you will need blood tests for at least 2 weeks to check if your platelet count drops too low.
What are the possible side effects of Nplate®?
- Nplate® may cause serious side effects. See "What is the most important information I should know about Nplate®?"
- The most common side effects of Nplate® are:
- Headache
- Joint pain
- Dizziness
- Trouble sleeping
- Muscle tenderness or weakness
- Pain in arms and legs
- Abdominal pain
- Shoulder pain
- Indigestion
- Tingling or numbness in hands and feet
- People who take Nplate® may have an increased risk of developing new or worsening changes in the bone marrow called "increased reticulin". These changes may improve if you stop taking Nplate®. Your healthcare provider may need to check your bone marrow for this problem during treatment with Nplate®.
- These are not all the possible side effects of Nplate®. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away. For more information, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
- If you have any questions about this information, be sure to discuss them with your doctor. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
Please see Prescribing Information and Medication Guide for more information about Nplate®.

Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS ) is still making money hand over fist, albeit at a slightly slower pace. The giant investment bank's first quarter revenue was only up slightly compared to the same period of the previous year as economic uncertainty weighed on businesses. Is the lack of growth at Goldman a sign that the firm is beginning to lose its magical touch?
In this video, Motley Fool banking analyst David Hanson reminds investors to take the long-term view and put faith in the Goldman Sachs management team and global brand.
During the financial crisis, Goldman Sachs did so well pivoting to avoid the worst of the fallout that it had to downplay its success to duck public ire and conspiracy theories. Today, Goldman is still arguably the powerhouse global financial name, and yet its stock trades at a valuation of less than half what it fetched prior to the crisis. Does this make Goldman one of the best opportunities in the market today? To answer that question, I invite you to check out The Motley Fool's special report on the bank. In it, Fool banking expert Matt Koppenheffer uncovers the key issues facing Goldman, including three specific areas Goldman investors must watch. To get access to this report, just click here.

Under the program, anglers will pick a stream to go out and fish and then report back on what they caught or observed, using a form supplied by the commission. The information then will be used by the commission to prioritize sampling efforts
The meeting is open to the public, and trout anglers, watershed groups and others who would like to assist in the program are encouraged to attend.

Conference for private forestland owners set
ALTOONA - The state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources will co-sponsor a two-day conference for landowners focused on conserving and managing privately owned woodlands.
The "2013 Private Forest Landowner Conference: The Future of Penn's Woods," will be held May 10-11 at the Blair County Convention Center.
"Past regional and local private forestland conferences have targeted primarily private forest landowners, both industrial and non-industrial," DCNR Secretary Rick Allan said. "This event is expanded to include a wider range of landowners with outdoors interests and a commitment to sustaining healthy forests. We invite recreation-related businesses, timber interests, family forest owners, policy makers, and all others with an interest and stake in private forest land stewardship."
The event will focus on conserving and managing healthy, regenerating forests with the intent of bringing together landowners who want to demonstrate commitment to forest sustainability.
"Whether a person owns five or 500 acres, they are among nearly 740,000 Pennsylvania woodland owners who can impact the health and well-being of nearly 12 million acres of private forests," Allan said.
Regionally and nationally recognized experts will give presentations on a variety of topics including conservation options, invasive species, taxes, water quality, woodland care, wildlife, and backyard woodlots. Exhibitors will offer informational and resource displays, and demonstrators will showcase tools and services.
On May 10, optional tours addressing wind energy and forests, invasive species control, vernal ponds and early successional wildlife habitat will be offered before the conference officially starts at 1 p.m. The program continues from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. May 11.
Registration is open and costs $75. Registration details and other information can be found at ecosystems.psu.edu/research/centers/private-forests/events/2013-private-forest-landowners.

The northeastern science park will be based in both Khon Kaen and Nakhon Ratchasima, while the southern one will be based in Songkhla. Both schemes will require a further investment of Bt3.61 billion and Bt3.48 billion, respectively, in order to be completed within the next six to eight years.
Altogether, the country will then have a total of five science parks nationwide including the first two provincial units in the North and the East, and the headquarters at Thailand Science Park in Pathum Thani.
The concept of science parks originated in the United States during the 1950s, when Stanford University housed the world's first such park. A science park is usually a piece of real estate that houses research-and-development facilities or knowledge-based enterprises that are closely linked with universities and other institutes of higher education in the area for the purpose of technology transfer and commercialisation.
For example, Thailand Science Park, which currently has around 1,000 staff members, including over 600 researchers with master's and doctoral degrees, now has 45 tenants at its site in Pathum Thani, employing a total of 223 researchers. Thailand Science Park has also acted as an incubator for 10 enterprises, with 48 being prepared to enter this programme. Over the past decade, a total of 116 research schemes were implemented, generating a combined value of Bt3 billion annually.
Among the tenants at the park are Siam Cement Group's units for ceramic and chemical industries, Betagro's Science Centre, Hemotrans, Mobilis Automata, Alltech Biotechnology, Shiseido, Western Digital and Poly Plastic Marketing.
Currently, the Board of Investment offers maximum tax cuts and other incentives to all tenants approved at Thailand Science Park. The park itself provides specialised support services, manpower training, research-and-development grants, low-interest loans, scientific equipment, testing and analysis services and technology-patent management. It also considers investing with residents in selected joint-venture projects.
According to the National Science and Technology Development Plan (2004-2013), science parks will help create an environment in which four core technologies - information and communications technology, biotechnology, material technology and nanotechnology - can be utilised in clusters of national innovation systems to increase the country's economic potential and international competitiveness.
The goal is to boost the number innovation-based indigenous enterprises from around 12 per cent of the total to around 35 per cent, while the ratio of added economic value generated by knowledge-based industries is supposed to double from 13 per cent to 26 per cent of GDP.
In addition, the plan calls for key provincial cities in all parts of the country to have more advanced science and technology capabilities in order to benefit from the following stages of economic development. For instance, the proposed northeastern science park will be closely linked with Khon Kaen University and other institutions of higher education in the area, while the southern park will join hands with Songkhla Nakarin and other universities there to benefit from their research strengths. Each park will focus on industries that have a high growth potential in their respective areas.
Chachanat is also the president of the International Association of Science Parks, which comprises 325 members in 69 countries with about 110,000 tenants. He says that several factors account for the success of a science park, including the number and quality of enterprises that enter the "incubator programme", the number of tenants, the number and quality of research projects and the number of the park's projects that are commercialised. Other key success indicators for science parks include the number of researchers and knowledge workers in the parks, the amount of research-and-development spending as well as economic value creation, the number of private enterprises that use the services of science parks and the level of linkage between industries and relevant universities.

About Us
The EWA is an International Wine School which offers wine education across the world, and it can do so because EWA uses mostly e-learning (distance education) (we believe that we were the first non-university educational institution to offer wine education via e-learning in 2004/5!). Its name refers to its European wine ancestry: the oenological, viticultural, wine traditions and culture of Europe.
EWA quickly developed into an International Wine School, drawing its students internationally and offering wine courses in English (and now also in French) to amateurs and would-be wine professionals alike. The wine market has become completely international, with an increase in demand for wine knowledge – it is evident that wine education had to follow, with the result that EWA started offering its wine courses globally from about 2004. It is now expanding by opening local campuses in France and Finland (In London we will soon again be offering our courses, and we continue investigating the possibilities in China and India).
Our wine teaching philosophy and goal
The goal of the Academy is essentially the promotion of the study of the grape, wine and spirits via higher, vocational and professional education - it is aimed not only at wine making or viticulture but also at the oenological, retail, wholesale, export, sommelier, marketing & business management and hospitality side of the wine and spirits industry.
We want our students to acquire a comprehensive knowledge of the grape, its viticulture and vinification, wine and spirits in all its guises, as well as the tasting and serving of wine; and all of this at a fairly high academic standard. It is our firm conviction that if we provide a course of an unacceptably low academic and professional standard we would only be producing inferior and badly-prepared students, just the opposite of what we want: to provide an international education and training which will empower students and even provide them with excellent career possibilities.
Perhaps it may not seem important at first, but we are rather proud of our commercial independence and objectivity - this is so because we are not sponsored by any beverage corporation, wine company, food conglomerate, government, wine authority, and banking or media group, by no one. As we have (nor have we ever had) no financial links or commitments to any one we remain independent in our search to provide the best wine education and training via e-learning to any student, anywhere, who has a computer and the internet and wishes to learn about wine and its various aspects which can be such fun, yet also informative and uplifting!
This Academy was the brain child of a group of passionate wine educators, wine makers, wine professionals, sommeliers, journalists, writers, wine consultants, importers and retailers - all highly committed people and all of whom agreed on a few core issues:
- that most wine courses are too amateurishly presented,
- even though experienced professionals are sometimes used in those courses, the tutors are for the most part book-educated wine hobbyists,
- the current theoretical and academic standard of professional wine courses is generally too low,
- longer wine courses have to ensure that a student also received some practical exposure and experience,
- there was too little on offer for existing or aspiring Wine Business Professionals and Managers.
It is our philosophy, and one of the most important foundations of this Academy, as reflected in its longer courses, (and this distinguishes us from other wine courses) that our wine courses are holistic, that is, it FIRST provides students with a general background into the study of Wine (in the form of for instance our 'Essentials' module) and then that general knowledge is applied to a specific field or specialty, e.g. Wine Marketing or Wine Production.
We do not believe that any specialized field or wine region can be studied or understood properly in isolation any more, given the global world that we live in and that the wine commodity finds itself in: with certain universal varietals such as chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon being planted almost everywhere on the globe, by wine makers who have all studied wine making and viticulture, and utilize the same techniques, from the same text books, often at the same universities, with flying wine makers, using these universal varietals, making the same style of wine, on all continents, the pervasive influence of famous wine critics further encouraging this trend towards an almost universal wine or, as we call it: the "vinum universum".
So, our approach to wine education is holistic, but mixed in with a realization that in wine education some practical exposure is also required (this our e-learning students acquire through the wine tasting exercises, on-site training and non-compulsory practicums, and the f2f and blended learning students will have the additional advantage of the week-long f2f module)
Types of wine courses
We provide serious (in the sense of academically sound) wine education & training which is based on a high, modern standard, that can give new learners, those persons wanting to start out on a new pathway of wine knowledge, and more advanced wine enthusiasts, a sound basis of wine knowledge, in any of the following directions: Wine tasting, Sommeliership, General wine knowledge, Wine production & viticulture and Wine marketing & Business.
EWA offers one of the widest range of wine courses: (click on the link "Courses" to the left) such as Introduction to Wine, Essentials of Wine, Wine Tasting, Wine Regions, Spirits, Sommeliership & Restaurant Management, Wine Tourism, Wine Marketing & Business, Viticulture, Oenology and Wine Production - and all at different academic levels, starting from the 10 lecture 'Introduction to Wine' to our 120 lecture 'Associate Degree in Viticulture, Wine Production & Business', all in e-learning version.
As of 2014 we also offer a new blended learning (see explanation below) course: 'Foundations of Wine Certificate' (a blended learning course, with a f2f module spread over 5 full days)
We also have an e-learning platform;(http://www.ewaplatform.org/), which is open and available 24/7 to our students, which means that you can download your lectures and do your assignments at any time of the day that is convenient to you. This e-learning platform is password double-encrypted and it employs the very latest, yet simple to use, technologies thus ensuring a dynamic learning environment. Students do not have to download any specific software; all that is required is an internet connection. Students receive their lectures from the platform; read the latest news and relevant articles, and up-load their assignments there as well. The lectures offered at the rate of 1 lecture per week, and each lecture contains certain compulsory assignments or quizzes, which are uploaded by the student via the e-Learning platform. So, simply put: once you have your user name and password you go to the platform, there you will see that you have been placed within a "class" or group and in that class you will go to the latest lecture and its assignment, download it, read and study the material in that lecture, read further about the topic in any text book you may have, further research it on the internet, look at any relevant video clips on YouTube (and in the 'Video Room' of the platform), then look at the questions in the assignment, prepare your assignment and upload it onto the platform so that your tutor can read and grade it, and give you any comments which she/he feels may help you. The same procedure is used in the wine tasting exercises you are expected to do.
One could further look at our courses offering from a different perspective, and so divide our courses offering into two groups:
- for those starters or amateurs who are seeking an introduction into, or expansion of their knowledge of wine, wine tasting or other aspects of wine.
- secondly, we also offer professional education, training and vocational programs for aspiring or existing wine makers, sommeliers, wine marketing & business management.
- Our lectures are detailed, often technical and generally of a serious nature (we do not try to compete with YouTube!) with proper text, illustrations and tables. The video clips and wine tasting exercises etc. are obviously also available to you, but in a separate section on the platform, not embedded into your lectures. As you may know many e-learning courses are nowadays offered using very flashy web sites, with all the latest gadgets and flash ware. We prefer offering our e-learning courses in a manner which is not disturbing to our students; you will not be bothered every 10 seconds with pop-ups and the like.
However, even serious wine education should always be an enjoyable experience!
The courses are mostly based upon leading text book(s) in the relevant field of study, blended with relevant wine articles and internet sources, and, where considered relevant, comments and contributions by the course designer, so that the particular course is a good combination of academic and practical content blended with wine articles and internet sources to create an up-to-date and informative lecture.
Our courses easily achieve the required professional and academic standard, but the hard work and dedication has to come from the student- it is therefore important that you realise that to get the full benefit from the course you will have to work on it every week! Our courses are aimed at well-motivated, serious and disciplined adults.
Please note though that there is a level for anyone, and that anyone may follow these courses, your reason for doing so is not as important to us as your desire to gain the knowledge!
Because we serve students from all parts of the globe, and of different backgrounds and levels of wine knowledge and education, it became obvious to us that we would have to provide a wide choice of wine courses to meet the needs of those students and such a changing wine industry. This is why we have learnt to be flexible, and why you will notice that we update the types and number of courses we offer, from time to time.
Our courses are designed by experienced wine professionals who take all of the above requirements into account. Parts of our courses are, merely through the particular topic, often almost of a university level, but most are set at an academic level just below that – also because we hold practical experience to be equally important (almost all courses have some practical aspects such as wine tasting exercises and on-site training at a wine business near you- see later).
If you are not yet sure which course to register for we can offer some suggestions, but we usually ask you some important questions first:
- firstly, what is your existing level of wine knowledge or experience,
- secondly, what do you hope to achieve with such a wine education: do you want to do this course for hobby purposes or for professional purposes, (even if it is to be used at a later stage), and
- thirdly, which specific direction interests you: general wine expertise, sommeliership & hospitality, wine business management, wine marketing or viticulture and wine making/oenology?
Clearly, the answers to these questions will help us to give you the best advice and guidance regarding the right course for you. It does also depend on how much wine experience/qualifications you already have, as some of the courses require you to have some pre-existing wine knowledge/qualification. So your answer to the above questions will hopefully enable us to suggest the correct course for you.
Course fees & VAT:
- There is a detailed list of all course fees on the web site.
- The course fee covers all the costs of the course, except for extra items such as field trips etc. (see the specific course description on the web site for more clarity on this)
- There is a separate registration cost of €75
- All course fees include 21% VAT. So, if you, or your business, have a VAT tax number, please send your VAT number, together with the Registration form, so that we can include it on our Invoice to you. This means of course that you can claim back 21% VAT on your side (if that is the usual tax arrangement in your country!)
Mission, History and Future
The basis of EWA was formed in the late 1990's in Europe and the UK, when the Academy's founding Principal, Derek D Koch, started providing standard wine education (f2f), but EWA was formalized in late 2004 when it also started offering wine courses via blended and e-learning, to students of the Commonwealth Academy, and Blake Hall College, in London.
As we are a Wine Academyy which essentially operates via the internet, our physical location is perhaps not that relevant, but we selected Belgium, which is at the heart of Europe, with Brussels being the effective capital of the EU, as the ideal location for a European wine school. Ideal, not only because it is centrally located, but more importantly because, as Belgium is not considered as a serious wine producing region, it is a neutral region, and is therefore not seen as competition by any of the major wine-producing countries of Europe. In this way we can rely on the co-operation of all European wine-related institutions and estates.
Teaching method we use
All our courses have the same standard of excellence, they differ only in the method in which they are delivered and in the differing motivation of students: the student following our e-learning courses will do so for very specific reasons: highly motivated students who cannot, (usually because of their geographical location), follow a course in a regular class room environment because of their work schedules, family needs or other reasons.
The academic level of our courses is that of a tertiary standard, about equal to that of a College/Polytechnicon/Technicon/Hoge Schule, but probably not as high as university level - and then mostly only because we cannot cover the same amount of material as a full time Bachelors course. The lectures are however often/mostly equal to that of a university academic level.
We use the following educational systems to offer our courses:
- E-learning (also known as Distance Education) Is the main form of education we use, particularly for the longer courses.
What is e-learning (Distance Education) and what are its advantages?
Simply put, distance education, or e-learning, takes place when a tutor and his/her students are separated geographically from each other by physical distance, and by using technology (i.e. voice, video, data, and print), this instructional gap is bridged. Or put slightly differently: e-learning is an educational system that uses technology: print, audio, video and computers, to reach learners in dispersed locations.
However, it is learner-centred in philosophy: that means that rather than simply bringing students piles of packaged information, we engage you in an active educational experience that enhances your professional and personal capacities. Wikipedia gives the following definition:
"Electronic learning (or e-Learning or eLearning) is a type of Technology supported education/learning (TSL) where the medium of instruction is through computer technology, particularly involving digital technologies. E-learning has been defined as "pedagogy empowered by digital technology" . In some instances, no face- to- face interaction takes place. E-learning is used interchangeably in a wide variety of contexts. In the United States, it is defined as a planned teaching/learning experience that uses a wide spectrum of technologies, mainly Internet or computer-based, to reach learners. Lately in most Universities, e-learning is used to define a specific mode to attend a course or programmes of study where the students rarely, if ever, attend face-to-face for on-campus access to educational facilities, because they study online." This type of program can provide adults with a chance at tertiary education and reach those disadvantaged by limited time, distance, opportunity or physical disability. Many distance education students have jobs, and/or families. They must therefore manage their time very carefully by co-ordinating the different areas of their lives which influence each other - their families, jobs, spare time, and studies. The essence of eLearning is that you can't always relocate or adjust your work and family schedules to advance your career or to improve your personal growth. E-learning or online courses empower you so that you achieve your goals at home, or even while travelling, without disrupting your current lifestyle. But potential students should bear in mind that eLearning does not differ that much from learning in a classroom, as you still have a tutor, which guides you through the course and other class members you can interact with. Most importantly, you still have assignments to complete, (which are obligatory) and you can participate in class activities. As the communication between yourself, the Academy, your tutor and other students all happen online you will have more responsibility for your own learning progress. Apart from some basic computer skills and a good Internet access, the skills required for success with eLearning are the same as those needed in a traditional classroom: preparation, organisation and self-discipline.E-learning has evolved tremendously in the recent past , as Gráinne Conole and Karen Fill state: "E-learning is now no longer a peripheral activity, the province of the isolated enthusiast, but is pervading Higher Education (HE), not just as an effective infrastructure for distance courses but blended with more traditional approaches on campus. Indeed, went as far as to term it a "new online paradigm [which] calls not so much for providing instruction at a distance, as for making available learning resources and instructional activities to students." In effect, the context is a potentially rich learning environment, where "students are typically engaged in multiple activities in pursuit of multiple learning goals, with the teacher serving the role of coach and facilitator."
Paraphrasing "The Economist" of 29th June 2013 who published an article: 'E-ducation' recently we quote:
"A long-overdue technological revolution is at last under way. "It is possible to teach every branch of human knowledge with the motion picture," observed Thomas Edison in 1913, predicting that books would soon be obsolete in the classroom. In fact the motion picture has had little effect on education. The same, until recently, was true of computers. Ever since the 1970's Silicon Valley's visionaries have been claiming that their industry would change the schoolroom as radically as the office-and they have sold a lot of technology to schools on the back of that. Children use computers to do research, type essays and cheat.
But the core of the system has changed little since the Middle Ages: a "sage on a stage" teacher spouting "lessons" to rows of students. Tom Brown and Huckleberry Finn would recognise it in an instant-and shudder. Now at last a revolution is under way. At its heart is the idea of moving from "one-size-fits-all" education to a more personalised approach, with technology allowing each child to be taught at a different speed, in some cases by adaptive computer programs, in others by "superstar" lecturers of one sort or another, while the job of classroom teachers moves from orator to coach: giving individual attention to children identified by the gizmos as needing targeted help. In theory the classroom will be "flipped", so that more basic information is supplied at home via screens, while class time is spent embedding, refining and testing that knowledge (in the same way that homework does now, but more effectively). The promise is of better teaching for millions of children at lower cost—but only if politicians and teachers embrace it.
Why is this time different?
Largely because a number of big changes are coming at the same time: high-speed mobile net-works, cheap tablet devices, the ability to process huge amounts of data cheaply, sophisticated online gaming and adaptive-learning software. For instance, new interactive digital textbooks with built-in continuous performance assessment can change in real time, depending on what and how much the pupil using it is learning. Higher education is in the vanguard. Colleges have always been keen to experiment with technology: Britain's television-based Open University is now 44 years old. Edtech has collected other impressive advocates. Bill Gates calls this "a special moment" for education. Private-sector money is piling in. Rupert Murdoch, hardly a rose-tinted-specs technophile, is allowing Amplify, his digital education business, to run up losses of around $180m this year in hope of dominating an edtech market that News Corporation reckons will soon be worth $44 billion in America alone. Technology has supposedly been on the verge of transforming education for over a century. This time it looks as though it will."
However, our courses are not self-paced; depending on numbers students are placed into groups and follow a properly structured and managed program of receiving lectures regularly, weekly, and handing in assignments weekly. Courses that are entirely self-paced, i.e. with no structure, place an almost impossible burden of total self-discipline on students!
Who should take e-learning courses and how does it work?
If you like the idea of being in control of your own learning and have a real interest in the topics or course you have selected, then yes. If you just see it as a way of getting out of going to regular face-to-face classes, then no. It's a very rewarding way to learn but you need to be well-organised and prepared to take responsibility for your own learning. You should be prepared to spend about 1 to 2 hours per week on doing assignments. Our tutors realise that there may be times when you need a bit of extra encouragement and support. They are there to help you as much as they can.
- Blended Learning:
In addition we will be offering our courses via blended learning in 2014. Blended learning is a combination of e-learning and normal, face-to-face classes. In other words one part of the course will be offered via e-learning (using the platform) and the other part will be offered via regular, face-to-face lectures/workshops or practicums. These learner-centred approaches put the learners back in command, with a wealth of learning resources at their fingertips, customized to their individual needs. Teachers and trainers, however, continue to play a central role, using virtual and traditional face-to-face interactions with their students in a 'blended' approach.
Regular Courses (f2f)
To a limited extent, (but in 2014 we plan on expanding this program) and only where at least 10/12 students register for a course will we offer regular, f2f (face-to-face) courses.
Personal contact with us via Skype
We realise that it is sometimes difficult for students in an e-learning environment if they do not have immediate access to the Academy to discuss a particular problem. Of course they can, and mostly do, use emails to achieve this, and it is a system which functions well, but sometimes they need personal face-to-face contact additionally. This is why we have instituted a system whereby students can make such personal contact with a senior person at EWA using Skype and a good Web Cam. The student would first email us requesting a face-to-face Skype discussion and EWA will then arrange a specific date and time for a discussion of the problem. Bear in mind that you should have a good Web cam, and be a registered Skype user, and have a fast Internet connection so that the video quality is acceptable. However, as this free service takes up a lot of personal time we hope you understand that we have to impose a few restrictions:
- It is only available to our registered students.
- It is not meant for trivial questions or matters - those can be dealt with via email. Students must ordinarily first try to sort out the problem via email before requesting a f2f Skype discussion.
In this way we hope to remove one of the biggest complaints against e-learning or on-line courses: a lack of personal contact between student and school.
Learning Wine Tasting - long distance!
One of the initial difficulties which e-Learning students face is that when it comes to learning how to taste wine they would like to have personal guidance and advice on various aspects of wine tasting, in particular, the relevant technique. Because we have students in most parts of the world, and as it is not always possible to arrange for face-to-face workshops in their region, such isolated students used to feel a bit left out. The way in which we overcome the problem of 'long distance' tasting – (where the student has no or little Tasting & Evaluation experience), is as follows: When you start the course you can have 1 or 2 personal guided tasting sessions (or a follow-up session during the course, if you'd like to clarify a specific tasting issue) with one of our tutors, via Skype, who will assist you in any problems you might have in wine tasting. This will not necessarily be for specific wines, but certainly for guidance in the technique of wine tasting.
Each course has a number of wine tasting exercises, with a list of wines which have to be tasted during the course, which will give the student the necessary wine tasting experience.
We have a special section on the platform, called the 'Tasting Room', where we have a detailed tasting Guide (for wines, fortified wines, sparkling wines and spirits), which shows students how to taste & evaluate wines, sparkling wines, as well as spirits. In this 'Tasting Room' there are also appropriate Tasting Sheets, (one for wine, for sparkling wines and spirits) so that students will, (by using the Guide and these Tasting Sheets together), learn exactly how to evaluate & taste wine.
The Academy has been using a professionally produced DVD called: "Tasting- grapes & scapes". It covers, in 2 discs, (more than 5 hours long) various wine topics, and is aimed particularly at wine tasting tuition; there is an introduction to various wine regions and other very helpful wine information. This excellent DVD, (in English, German, French, Spanish & Italian) is currently available directly from us, but there are only a limited number available. The normal retail cost is around €30 per set but we are able to supply it at a student price of €20 per set.
Additionally, in a separate section of the platform, called the 'Video Room', we have many video clips on wine evaluation & tasting and how it should be done properly which will further assist students in learning how to taste wine. However, the best way still to learn how to taste wine is to TASTE, TASTE, TASTE!
EWA branded Sommelier (professional cork screw)
Over the years we have come across many types of cork screws and though there are more expensive ones, we saw that many wine estates and sommeliers prefer using the products made by Patrick in Italy. We therefore asked Patrick to provide us with a suitable sommelier that could be used by students for many years, and we had it branded by them as well. It is a double-hinged professional sommelier (Waiter's Friend), the Murano version, with a patented non-slip soft rubber contour with an anti-adherent Teflon spiral making the removal of the cork easier. The stainless steel blade can be easily opened single handed to remove the foil.
The exclusive soft-pushing double lever mechanism is made of two independent and distinct levers which work with an automatic controlled movement. The first support is designed to suit any type of bottle. The cost is €18. Shipping costs will depend on whether the student also orders the Wine DVD or not, (when it will be cheaper).
What will I need for these courses?
Apart from a set of the correct wine tasting glasses, (we can give advice on this) all you need to register for one of our courses is a computer with an internet connection, a webcam, word processing software and software to open PDFs, audio and video files. This usually comes standard but can also be downloaded for free at, for instance: Adobe Reader, Quicktime or Mediaplayer and Skype.
Accreditation, memberships & commitment to excellence
We actively support and apply the EU's Principles on E-learning.
It is a well-known fact that wine education, as a general academic study direction, does not have the long historical connections to universities that studies such as law or medicine enjoy, (nowadays of course, viticulture and oenology are offered at certain universities). This is particularly so in the EU. In some countries a more casual attitude and approach prevails, with the result that one comes across many so-called 'universities' offering degrees and diploma with no or little academic value or prestige.
Even the international leader in general wine education, the WSET, is not a university, and like most wine education institutions and academies, it too has to rely on a combination of a good reputation, coupled with accreditation from relevant professional control bodies and governments to convince its potential students of the academic and professional standard of its courses and training programs. The same also applies to EWA, we too would have preferred the 'prestige' of being a university but we accept that, as this is not a practical possibility in Europe, we have to primarily provide courses of excellence and then take reasonable steps to ensure that we reach and maintain a high academic and professional level.
It is for these reasons then that, over the course of our existence, we have formed associations with other wine educating institutions and universities, and used well-regarded course advisers and tutors (see elsewhere), but EWA has also (mostly through its Principal), at various times been a member of the following institutions or professional bodies that oversee standards of e-learning and wine education: The European Association for Distance Learning, Association of British Correspondence Colleges, The Society of Wine Educators in the United States of America, International Council for Open and Distance Education, European Association for International Education, European Council for Business Education and the British Association for Open Learning.
These Institutions lay down strict requirements for membership thus ensuring that students receive a quality education. EWA in fact usually exceeded the requirements and standards that were normally required of members of the above institutions; this is because we wish our students to be completely informed before registration.
As further proof of EWA's commitment to professionalism and excellence, and to ensure that the administration and daily operations of EWA was being done at a high level, we met the standard of the highly regarded international award of quality: "ISO 9001", and received this in October 2005, following a strenuous and lengthy investigation by the ISO's auditors- however as EWA is a relatively small school it is not considered necessary any longer to continue the ISO 9001 registration. Because it had received an ISO 9001 award EWA was then appointed by the Flemish (part of the Belgian government) government as an official provider of adult education.
Why are our courses different from those of our competitors?
What sets us apart from most other (non-university) educational institutions offering wine courses is:
- a higher academic standard in our course contents resulting in a better prepared, trained and employable student.
- flexibility and friendliness using our one-on-one interactive Skype/webcam we offer personal contact with EWA and its tutors, and also guided wine tasting training sessions, students can now see and hear, in real time, how to taste wine properly!
- some of our course are designed specifically for the wine trade, management, sommeliers and hospitality trade and those who already have some grounding in the basic principles of wine
- by using our detailed Wine Tasting Guide, plus matching Wine Tasting & Analysis Sheets (also for Sparkling wines and Spirits) students learn how to analyse and taste wine analytically and in a professional manner.
- because of the nature of e-learning start dates for courses are flexible, so you can start at any time,
- additionally we have a few hundred video clips in our Video Room which can assist students on all important topics such as wine tasting, viticulture, oenology, the major wine regions, sommeliership and wine marketing & business.
- international students who often cannot get access to such sophisticated wine and spirits courses, due to geographical reasons, can now also follow high-quality wine courses
- we want all our students to obtain as much practical, hands-on experience of and exposure to the wine industry. This is achieved by:
- getting students to do compulsory wine tasting exercises (each course has a set number of wines the student has to taste);
- asking students to attend limited on-site training at a local wine business, shop or winery of their choice.
- also, in some courses, by attending non-compulsory practicums and workshops, (any of our students may join us on a non-compulsory tutored Field Trip to a wine region, to get some hands-on, practical exposure to grapes, viticulture, wine making or other related practical experience. These are optional trips).
- non-compulsory visit to a Wine Fair, like the London Wine Fair, ProWein, the Cape Fair or Vinexpo in Bordeaux
- non-compulsory visits to local wineries and vineyards.
And exams?
In keeping with our policy of offering only professional and academically strong wine education, all of our courses will require students to write an examination on every module which forms part of the course (the date is pre-arranged in conjunction with the student).
This is usually in the form of multiple choice on-line exams on the platform at the conclusion of each module, so you can even write your exams from home! An exam invigilator will be accompanying you during the exam, especially for those whose first language is not English (to explain terms or words).
It has been proven that if a course does not properly test a student's knowledge (which a quiz and examination does) that student does not get the full value of the course, nor does he/she, or others, really respect that course's standard.
Venues for practical training, f2f courses & conferences
Depending on the type of course and on student interest (as these are normally not compulsory) we may arrange practicums or conferences from time to time at one of the following preferred partner venues:
- University of Padua, Italy In view of its rich viticultural and oenological traditions, combined with high, modern scientific research and facilities, which has its Viticulture and Oenology department in Conegliano in the Veneto, Italy (established 1874-it is the oldest wine University in Italy).
- London: the normal location will be at Blake Hall College in London.
- France (various regions)
- Collalto Wine Estate, Veneto, Italy.Is an important and partner, courtesy of Princess Isabella Collalto, with whom our Academy has professional links (she also followed one of our wine courses). This 1 000 year old wine estate has not forgotten how important the soil is, the value of caring for the grapevine and making outstanding wines by using modern, up-to-date equipment and methods. Collalto is a preferred venue for our residential and short courses, practicums, wine conferences, workshops, wine trips as well as wine tastings. These will be held at Collalto's premises and winery in Susegana in the Veneto, close to Venice. It is also conveniently located very near the campus of the University of Padua, at Conegliano.
- Other Italian locations
- Schloss Vollrads, Rheingau, Germany. Joining Collalto Estate in Italy as one of our preferred Training Centres is that equally impressive and historic Wine Estate: Schloss Vollrads of the Rheingau, on the Rhine. Dr Rowald Hepp, (who is one of our Course Advisors) its winemaker and Chief Executive, confirms that this historic 14th Century Castle, adjacent to Geisenheim university, will co-operate in a joint venture with us to provide a fantastic training venue by giving us access to their vineyards, winemaking cellars and top restaurant, for workshops, lectures and tasting sessions in viticulture, oenology, wine marketing and sommeliership.
- Mosel estates and other German regions
- South Africa
Practical matters – (and what you have to do now)
Course language:
Courses are available in English and it is the administrative language for the Academy. As we develop our program new Courses will be introduced and this could mean that certain courses may be offered in multiple languages.
Length of a Course:
The lectures are offered (via the e-learning platform) at the rate of one lecture per week, and each lecture contains certain compulsory assignments which the student will upload onto the e-Learning platform once she/he has done the assignment. You can therefore roughly work out how long a course will take – bear in mind that we are closed for the Summer vacation in July and August, for about 2 months, and also for a week or so in December, so in those times we operate with a skeleton staff, but you can still upload your assignments and download lectures during these vacations - the grading of assignments will only be done after the vacations.
Typical Length of a Lecture:
There is no average length for a lecture, as length will be determined by its contents, but you should allow yourself about 2 hours per week for the compulsory assignments, which form part of every lecture.
Starting date of course:
Because of the nature of e-learning start dates for courses are flexible; there are no set starting dates. So you can start immediately after you have registered and the course fees have been paid.
On-site training:
In some courses students are expected to get some hands-on experience working in any wine-related wine business/retail shop in the student's town or area. But we do sometimes allow exceptions to this when there are no such wine businesses in the area/city of the student (for instance in Muslim countries). The student just has to apply for such exception, giving full reasons.
Final steps:
The process:
- Once you have decided which course to follow you simply fill in the Student Registration Form, (download it from the web site or ask us to email you one), sign it, then scan it in and email it back to us.
- Simultaneously kindly arrange for the necessary course fees, plus the Registration costs of €75, and the exam fees (@ €35 per module) to be deposited into our bank account (see Registration Form) by instructing your own bank to do so.
- We then send you the documentation relating to the course, together with your own password and user name, on the same day that we receive payment, so that you can immediately start your course.

To the editor: What if lost and orphaned children were dragged by a pole and put in a gas chamber to struggle for their last breaths? Would we stand by and do nothing?
This is what can happen to pets if they are lost, picked up by animal control and not reclaimed in time.
The most innocent of creatures, man's best friends, do not deserve this fate. I believe the public knows what is happening and still most people do nothing to stop it.
To the editor: I am writing on behalf of Ring Dog Rescue (www.ringdogrescue.org), a pit bull rescue group in Richmond, Va. This note is in regard to your recent story on the purchase of a refurbished gassing chamber.
While you did not advocate the use of gas chambers, we would like to make your organization aware of the cruelty and inhumanity associated with these chambers such that you might consider advocating against them and using your media lever as a force for good.
To the editor: St. James Mayor Lesher's claim her town is pursuing forcible annexation only because they have not found "some other method" to "have some say in the commercial development of N.C. 211" is ridiculous and transparent. The elitism and greed shown by St. James is startling. It's also ominous and threatening.
Let's annex parts of St. James as a relocation area for Gitmo detainees. Then at least the residents would be giving something back and providing a public service, instead of just demanding and taking.
To the editor: When tolerance becomes a one-way street, it certainly leads to cultural suicide. We are on that street.
Liberals cannot be trusted to defend our republic because their sympathies obviously lie with their perceived victim—Major Nidal Malik Hassan.
I make no apologies for these words and anyone angered by them. Please, go to Fort Hood and look into the eyes of the real victims.
To the editor: The selection is over. Residents of Carolina Shores have overwhelmingly voted for change. Now it is time to determine what that change will be.
I believe there are some conditions that require immediate consideration.
It is time to consider restricting terms in office that elected officials may serve. We must discourage the empire-building that has been prevalent in the past.
To the editor: Two Sunset Beach town council incumbents and the mayor ran for re-election on Nov. 3.
Councilman Len Steiner finished last, losing his seat. Councilman Lou DeVita was re-elected by a pitiful 53 votes. Mayor Ron Klein won by just 110 votes.
To the editor: The majority of St. James is populated by good people, and I apologize to them. I bear no malice there. The residents have done much good in the area, yet their charitable deeds are eclipsed by the town's aggression. Many say they are from Southport to avoid the growing stigma the council is cultivating.
To the editor: The headlines in newspapers and commentaries by all the TV networks reported at the Fort Hood army base in Killeen, Texas, 15 soldiers had been killed.
The "alleged" gunman, an Army psychiatrist who opposed the war in Iraq, was upset about soon being deployed to Iraq.
Maj. Nidal Malik Hassan, the "alleged" shooter, opened fire on a crowd of soldiers and was shot by a civilian police officer, which ended his deadly assault.
To the editor: The Beacon recently had an article promoting recycling in Brunswick County as a voluntary way to reduce the usage in our limited landfills. This had me thinking of an idea that might would work and encourage people to recycle.
I have been a resident of Shallotte for the past 20 years. Once the county went to a scheduled trash removal system, with a trashcan given to every resident, I saw a tremendous change along all county highways.
Most of the trash has slowly disappeared, showing what a great idea the individual resident trashcan idea was.
To the editor: Last week's Beacon headline "Whatever it takes" tells only part of the story regarding accomplishments of an unforgettable person, Bob Grimes.
As a cafeteria worker, I see almost all students, teachers and other school personnel on a daily basis.
During the years Mr. Grimes was assistant and then principal of Shallotte Middle School, I observed a positive change in the one place where both teachers and students are most comfortable—the cafeteria.

Following treatment with stimulant medications for symptoms of attention deficit disorder, Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome occurred in 15 patients. Early signs of Tourette's syndrome may be difficult to distinguish from hyperactive and attention disordered symptoms, leading the clinician to consider treatment with stimulants. In these Tourette's-susceptible patients, stimulants may exacerbate severe motor and phonic tics, requiring discontinuation of administration of stimulants and institution of haloperidol therapy for tic control. Clinical evaluation for tics and Tourette's syndrome in children and their families should precede and dictate use of stimulant medications in children.
