We are a husband and wife team working together to bring you the best of the best in vintage pieces!
Amy has been immersed in design and decorating from a young age. As a child she would tag along with her mother to flea markets all over the country, estate sales and quirky stores. She learned to appreciate at a young age the unique, one of a kind pieces that can only be found by the "hunt". She is a fourth generation Floridian. As a child she would spend days running around her grandparents Flamingo Park historical home that was full of Mid Century Floridian furnishings. She loved to learn the history of all the beautiful Mid Century pieces that filled the home where her dad was raised as a child. She would have holiday dinners on the same Heywood Wakefield dining table that her dad sat in his high chair. By the way, that same table is now at her parents home hosting those same special dinners for another generation. She learned that quality built furniture is timeless in design and durability With her hands on approach she finds and transforms each piece to become one of a kind heirlooms that will once again stand the test of time. She works with top designers, celebrities and discerning home owners from all over the world to find that one special piece or entire home full of curated pieces. When she isn't busy raising her 3 beautiful children she is traveling to find special pieces, choosing just the right lacquer colors or fabric, and scouring through countless magazines and blogs to maintain relevancy in her choices of inventory.

Government Should Heed NRMA's Call For Tolls To Be Capped At CPI
May 29, 2015
The NSW Government should heed the NRMA's wake-up call and concede that road tolls should not exceed the inflation rate, according to Shadow Minister for Roads Jodi McKay.
The NRMA's latest research report, Improving the Performance of Sydney's Road Network (prepared by Houston Kemp Economists), has backed Labor's position that tolls for new motorways should increase at a rate no greater than CPI.
"The NRMA's detailed and timely research underlines precisely how unjust it is for the NSW Government to be slugging motorists with tolls that climb faster than inflation on the Northconnex and Westconnex," Ms McKay said.
"I don't think anyone is arguing that Sydney motorists don't have a tough enough time of it already. For Mike Baird and Duncan Gay to whack above CPI tolls onto their pile of problems is unconscionable.
"The NRMA is absolutely spot on here. The very least Sydney motorists deserve is a bit of certainty about how fast their tolls will rise. Tying those tolls to CPI will provide that certainty.
"Labor has long argued that motorists should not be gouged when they are simply trying to get around their city.
"The NRMA has now added its important voice to this call and it is vital that the government sits up and takes notice."
The report also called for rebates to motorists for poor motorway performance, and the introduction of IPART or a similar authority to oversee negotiations for new tollway contracts or any extension - among many other recommendations.
Ms McKay said the detail in the report represented a positive and thoughtful contribution to the NSW roads debate and she would consider all recommendations carefully before seeking further discussions with the NRMA.

I'm still building boards. There are some changes to the way I use to do it. Now my boards are much more manageable in the water. The main issue was weight. In Florida surfing a heavy board doesn't work very well. Anyways you can follow my builds on the Woody Logic blog.

One of the Best.
Every once in a while there is someone that sets the standard for good shaping. For me living in Imperial Beach it was David Craig and Mike Richardson. Those were the guys that made the sweetest most beautiful boards. My first board was a Craig fish. I wish I still had it. A few years later I got an Electric Duck. It was a beauty and worked great in the IB beach break. Mike shares a little bit of history and humor.

My noserider and why it works.
It was a while back that I built my evolution noserider. There was a lot of thought that went into that board and I'm please with how it turned out and how it works. It wasn't my first noserider. The first one didn't have the pinched rails and it sold before it every got tested. It wound up in a fancy restaurant as a wall hanger. When I built my next one it was shortly after building my first evolution longboard. I wanted to understand all the design elements and differences. Fortunately, I came across these youtube videos that explained it in a way I could understand.
I still have my noserider and love to get it out when the conditions are right. It's a lot of fun and noserides great. Thanks to all the people that figure out how to apply Bernoulli's principle to a surfboard.
I'll try to get some pictures of my next session on it. If anyone is interested in the patterns let me know.

Fix with balsa.
The surf hasn't been happening for a couple weeks now, so it's a good time to do some board repairs. A few weeks ago I paddled out. The waves were about 2' and closing out for the most part. The swell was crossed up. If you waited long enough a decent set wave would come thru that wasn't a close out. Anyways, I was a bit impatient that day. A good looking wall came in and I was on it. It closed out and put me and my board in the washing machine. It's usually no big deal. This time however I was surprised when I didn't feel that tug on my leash. There was my board floating toward the beach. I was out on the outer sandbar, so I had to swim for it. When I finally caught up with my board I saw that the leash plug had torn off and it took a large chunk of foam with it. That's not good.
Yesterday, I got around to cutting the ripped out section and epoxied in a piece of balsa. Today I shaped it which didn't take long at all. It's real nice working with balsa compared to foam. It'll all get glassed in with a new leash plug in a few days. Just in time for a swell and some off shore winds expected later in the week.

Another summer has passed.
September is probably my favorite month. The water is warm, the kids are in school and the tourist aren't here. About the only thing that makes me a little sad is that another summer has passed. For the most part the waves this summer pretty much sucked with the exception of a few days. There is still a chance that a hurricane will come. The good news is my girlfriend Julie has gotten the surf bug and is progressing nicely.
Probably the second best thing to come out of the summer is that I got more use to my fish. I started with a 7' and my favorite is a 6' 8". They are much better suited to the waves here. There are certain times when the longboard works well, usually going to a high tide. Anyways, I haven't built anything new. I'm just enjoying getting out as much as I can. The beach house got painted outside and backyard is getting squared away. Still living the dream.

When two Executive Board members of the Student Government Association were relieved of their duties on Oct. 6, the Review Board swiftly filled the openings to ensure continuity of leadership, despite the difficult situation.
Many details surrounding the incident are largely unknown due to the confidential and personal nature of the situation, which led seniors Rachel Kurtz and John Gould, former secretaries of academics and of service and community relations respectively, to step down from their positions. Neither were available for comment.
On Oct. 23 the Review Board announced their decision to instate juniors Alexandra Kurtz as secretary of academics and Audrey Utchen as secretary of service. "I am so excited to work with Audrey and Alex in these positions. We saw a high level of professionalism and experience that will make it so they can hit the ground running," said junior and SGA President Taylor Frey. Prior to the announcement, Frey took over as interim secretary of academics while senior and SGA Vice President Jaclyn Gibbons served in the interim for secretary of service.
"I can't speak very much to the background of the situation where Rachel and John had to step down, but what I can say, as SGA president, is I highly value every member of our team, and I care about every single member and every past member," said Frey.
Frey shared that this decision was the hardest one he's made in his term thus far, and it was a very difficult time for the Review Board as a whole. He said, "It's hard to lose a member of your team and your SGA family."
One of Frey's priorities after losing two members of the Executive Board was ensuring a smooth transition, which the SGA strived to achieve with an expedited application process. Senators were instructed to share that there were two openings in the Executive Board and that anyone was encouraged to apply.
Although no campus-wide email was sent, Frey and the SGA hoped that the one-on-one interaction between senators and their constituents would encourage students to apply. They received about 10 applications, which is more than they typically receive for these positions, according to Frey.
"An ongoing challenge is making sure senators are relaying information to the community and that goes beyond this particular incident," said Frey. "Having those important, unhurried conversations has had very good results for us in the past… Large email blasts don't really go that far."
Establishing a greater line of communication between senators and their constituents is just one of Frey's many priorities as president. This incident and others like it incite discussions on the high standard SGA members are held to. "Not speaking directly to this situation, that [anti-bullying] is something we find really important. We hold everyone to the highest standard possible and the values of our institution," he said.
The decision to relieve Gould and Rachel Kurtz of their duties was made by the Review Board with Faculty Advisor and Assistant Professor of Drama Brendon Fox there to observe and moderate in case of conflict. "I respect the process that they had… The issues involved are very sensitive and ongoing," he said, which made a confidentiality agreement the most viable option.
According to Fox, someone from the administration recommended that Frey and the Review Board take a confidential approach in the situation to ensure that the students involved could speak openly about the situation. Neither Sarah Feyerherm, associate vice president for Student Affairs, nor Dr. Xavier Cole, vice president for Student Affairs, were available for comment.
Although the facts of the case are confidential, both Fox and Frey agree that providing the best leadership for Washington College's student body remains the most important aspect of the situation.

Harley Davidson XR1200
Posted on May 5, 2010 by Scott in Café Racer. 2 comments
Roland Sands has just completed this mean looking high performance Harley Davidson XR1200. Needless to say this RSD creation is loaded with a long list of features including a single-sided swingarm with Ohlins shock and Ducati linkage, GSX-R front fork and Turbo wheels with a black on black Tuxedo finish.
Jesse Rookes XR1200
Jesse Rookes is a very talented bike builder. He came onto the scene in 2002 with his first bike Dinah which quickly made a name for himself in the custom scene. We really dig his latest project for Dunlop. This XR1200 has the best parts money can buy like Marzocchi suspension and Brembo brakes. Overall it's not as flashy as his previous builds but when Dunlop was footing the bill it was smart to make the tires the hero.

Found this XR1200 on Speedjunkies. It's a AdrenlinMoto project bike that features nearly every aftermarket part they sell, and also reducing the weight of the bike by around 38kg! Adrenlin Moto now specialize in Harley XR1200 parts and accessories. If you want a list of all the parts on the bike check out this very impressive list. Also hit this sweet video showing MCNews test riding one of these pimped out XR1200's.

Things to Do in New York
The Big Apple
Whether it's your first time or the 10th time in New York, you will find plenty of different things to do in this cosmopolitan city. Gotham lures millions of visitors every year from all across the globe with its diverse array of points of interest alongside its vibrant fashion and nightlife scene. We thus decided to hit the streets and the internet and compiled a list of the must- do things in the capital of the world and the result was simply awe-inspiring. Here is the list of the 10 best things to do in NYC. Check them out and make the most of your visit.
Central Park
Located in Manhattan, Central Park is the most popular tourist attraction not just in New York, but in all of United States. A national historic landmark, it is impossible to explore the entire park in just one day as the site boasts of about 20 playgrounds, near about 50 fountains, over 30 bridges, sculptures and monuments. Some of the top-rated sights include Alice in Wonderland, Bethesda Fountain, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, Loeb Boathouse, Strawberry Fields, Wollman Memorial Rink, etc. The park is open to the visitors from 6 a.m. to 1 a.m.
American Museum of Natural History
A promised land for the art and history buffs, the American Museum of Natural History boasts of over 30 million artifacts stretched across 4 city blocks, 25 buildings and 45 exhibition halls, thus making it impossible for the visitors to see it all in just one day. The highlights of the museum include The Rose Center for Earth and Space, the Butterfly Conservatory, the Hall of the Universe, etc. The museum normally witnesses heavy rush of crowds but a weekday visit in late winter or spring may help you escape some. The museum is open 7 days a week from 10 a.m. to 5:45 p.m.
Strand Book Store
For the readaholics, this is the place to be. Opened in 1927, Strand Book Store is the most famous bookstore in New York City. With a mind-boggling collection about 2.5 million books, the store features new and old books, classic books, rare books stretched across an astonishing 18 miles among three labyrinthine floors. Apart from book titles, the store also features many other items as well such as calendars, button bundles, bags and pouches, moleskins, giftware, gift cards, kitchenware, clothing, magnetic, stationary, posters, local souvenirs, audio books, DVDs, Blu-Rays, Music CDs, Vinyl, and much more. The store also houses many items for children such as games, toys, picture books. etc.
Bryant Park
One of the most beautiful sites in New York, Bryant Park is a favorite spot among the locals who often come here on picnics. Though, this lush park has been in existence for over 150 years now, a revitalization project in the 90s turned this park into a popular tourist spot. The park also plays host to fashion week and numerous performances. Apart from enjoying the scenic views and free Wi-Fi, there is a whole of other stuff you can do such as checking out the New York Public Library located opposite to the great lawn, hop on a ride on the French-style carousel or enjoy ice skating around the pond. The park also hosts yoga classes, tai chi classes, knitting classes, literary events and chess tournaments.
Metropolitan Museum of Art
The most celebrated museum in the United States, the Metropolitan Museum of Art features masterpieces from all across the globe, its highlight collection being classical and ancient Egyptian antiquities. Also referred to as "The Met," it is perhaps not possible to explore the entire museum in just one day. The first floor features artifacts of Egyptian, Roman and Greek Art, the second floor features Islamic Art which is very popular with the visitors. It also features another museum called the Cloisters Museum dedicated to classic European Art and Architecture. The museum also houses a caf�?© and a bar.
National September 11 Memorial and Museum
The National September 11 Memorial and Museum was built in the honor of the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives in the 2001 terrorist attacks as well as the the 6 victims of the 1993 bombing. The museum is located at the site of World Trade Center which originally was the location of the Twin Towers before being destroyed in the terrorist attacks. The museum is controlled by a non-profit corporation which raises funds for the museum and looks after its operations. The memorial was originally named The World Trade Center Memorial Foundation and was renamed to National September 11 Memorial and Museum in 2007.
Grand Central Terminal
Grand Central Terminal is a breathtaking train station and a perfect example of the spectacular classic New York architecture. Spanning across 66 acres, it is the largest railway station in the world and the busiest in the United States. It is often described as the one of the most beautiful public spaces in the world. Once you get past the waiting room decorated with glittering chandeliers, you will reach the prime attraction of the terminal, the main concourse, nearly 12 stories tall and measuring at 200 feet in length and 120 feet of width, structured after an ancient Roman public bath. At the top, it is painted with glimmering constellations covering the blue ceiling giving the station just the quintessential look.
Chelsea Market
If you like food and shopping, Chelsea Market must be top of your list. The market is composed of an entire city block and is surrounded by the ninth & tenth avenues and 15th & 16th streets. It was built in the building formerly owned by Nabisco, the inventor of the famous cookie oreo and turned it into a massive food hall to cater to the gourmets. Today apart from being a food heaven, it is also a shopping mall, an office tower and a TV production center. Google has also opened offices in the second, third and fourth floors alongside its subsidiary YouTube on the fifth.
The Museum of Modern Art
Art adorers are often mesmerized by the by the incredible collection of artifacts and exhibits at the Museum of Modern Art. Also referred to as MoMA, it is often dubbed as the most influential modern art museum in the world and is also one of the largest of its kind. The collection boasts of contemporary and modern art, including works of paintings, drawings, architectural designs, prints, sculptures, photographs and movies, artistic and illustrative books and electronic media. The museum remains open all days of the week from 10:30am to 5:30pm. On Fridays, it is open until 8pm.
Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts
Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts is counted amongst the most concentrated performing arts theaters in the United States. Dubbed as a fortress, this huge complex consists of a total of 30 performance facilities. Spanning across 16 acres, the center also hosts many internationally renowned art organizations such as the New York City Ballet, New York Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Opera. The Center has also featured in several movies such as "The Producers" and "No Way to treat a Lady", both of which released in the year 1968.

2017 is nearly ending, but we still have 100+ days left of it. Your life can change in a matter of a day let alone four months. Here's how the last four months of 2017 will look like for you, based on your Zodiac sign. You never know what big changes may come, so keep on reading.
Are you trying to let go of a person you still love? It seems like it. No matter how much you want to let go, it becomes harder for you. Listen to your heart, not head. Keep your priorities and self-respect in place. Don't allow anyone to lead you on.
It seems like you've been in big confusion lately. So confused that it blinds you on which path to take. But you need to accept confusion, because confusion shouldn't be scary.
It's perfectly normal. Follow the uncertain direction, it will lead you to the path you need to be. Maybe the next 4 months will be tough, but you have a big reward waiting for you.
Life has been dynamic for you this year — in a totally good way! Changes in your career, changes in your relationships. You made changes this year to the things you were most comfortable with and was scared to change.
As this year ends, you will have personal development changes and find yourself more.
Someone should give you a medal for surviving this "worst year ever." But I promise things will get better. I know that it wasn't a great year, but it can surely end like one.
A lot of positivity is coming for Cancer's in the fall season going into the winter. Hang in until then! You'll make it.
Hey Leo, dating sucks, huh? This year you didn't want to have anything to do with relationships. In fact, you've wondered how you survived such repetitive days over and over again without killing someone.
But you know how to handle yourself and beat to your own drum. And a new love is coming for you in the next 4 months.
You've been hurt this year, I know. You have a deep wound that's going to need a lot of time to heal. And every time you think you've moved forward, you fall one step behind. Not your best year.
While you might think finding a new love will help you heal this wound, it's actually not true. Rather, the person who will spend their free time with you and help bounce you back to normal will.
Scorpio, you are always the person that's the wisest in the group. And it's true. You have the gift of seeing things through another perspective.
But you're also a lone wolf. In the next 4 months, you're going to meet someone different that will love and excite you. Not only that, but they'll make you take chances and not play if safe. Big adventures await!
You've been holding on to an old love for quite some time. You live in a bubble of hope thinking that they'll "maybe come back." Even though you still love this person and haven't spoken in a while, you need to put yourself first.
You deserve someone who won't leave and hurt you. You may not meet this special someone in the next 4 months, but they will surely come in 2018.
You've been lucky this year. While all of your friends struggle to find the right one or try to manage their crazy relationships – you are already in the most amazing relationship.
So, you're probably questioning yourself will it continue? It depends on you and what you really want. Ask yourself, "Am I ready to spend my entire life with this person?"
The next four months are going to be hard for you. Simply because your past will come and haunt you. Whether its people who you've been in relationships with had issues with, they will pay a visit.
These people can't accept the fact that you've grown beyond those issues and only focus on what happened back in the past. My advice is to not allow someone else's opinion from your past to dictate your present. Who brings up your past is jealous of your future.
You've taken enormous steps and risks this year to succeed in your career, which has paid off for you. While you've only focused on your career mostly, be sure to give yourself a pat on the back for sticking to your dreams.
On the relationship side — you've sacrificed a lot for someone who hasn't invested even 20% in the relationship. In the next 4 months, your partner either steps up their game or you stop playing. You know your worth, so don't waste too much time.
You are on a self-development path of letting things go from your past. By letting go, you finally find the love that deserves you, not the one that leads you on and causes you to question your decisions.
Watch out for your enemies, as when they see you happy they'll try their best to bring you down and make sure to bring back the ghosts from your past.

For years, they were here legally and yet in limbo. They worked hard, running a janitorial company, managing a fast-food restaurant, paying taxes, going to school and hoping to receive more permanent status.
Dear Canada,
I read recently that you have a labor shortage.
I know a family here in North Florida that would love to work and live and study in Canada.
Well, truth be told, they'd love to do all of that right here.
No offense. But this feels like home to them. Especially to their two girls. This really is the only place they know. Jacksonville, Florida, America.
Both of the girls have been involved in Junior ROTC at Nease High School. They love this country, although I certainly wouldn't blame them if they have some conflicting emotions about it right now.
Last week one of them, Medina, sang the national anthem during Military Appreciation Day at The Players Championship.
Medina wants to join the U.S. Navy and become an anesthesiologist.
These days she is trying to accept that this probably won't happen.
She will graduate next week from high school with her friends.
She and her parents, Elvir and Amra, will be deported next month to Bosnia — unless they can make an alternative plan work. A work visa for Canada.
"It's better than going to Bosnia," Amra Blekic said. "Medina would be lost. I'm not sure what she would do there. In Canada, she could have a future."
Elvir grew up in Bosnia but left in the early 1990s during the Civil War. Amra grew up in Germany and has never been to Bosnia.
They came to America in 2008. They entered the country legally, with visitor visas. Several members of Elvir's family — his parents, two brothers — already were living here as U.S. citizens. They hoped to join them. They applied for asylum, citing fears about returning to Bosnia.
For years, they were here legally and yet in limbo. They worked hard, running a janitorial company, managing a fast-food restaurant, paying taxes, going to school and hoping to receive more permanent status.
In 2014, a judge denied their asylum. Even then they were given a way to stay. An order of supervision and repeated stays of removal allowed them to continue living, working and studying here. As long as they stayed out of trouble. Which they did.
Last year, though, their stay of removal was denied. They were told by Immigration and Custom Enforcement they could remain here until Medina graduates from high school. They would be deported then.
On Thursday, just two weeks shy of the 10th anniversary of the day they arrived in America, they must show ICE officials that they have bought plane tickets to Bosnia. By June 25, they must be out of the country.
Canada, this is where you enter the story. They hope.
They know that to get a work visa and enter Canada legally, they need a job offer. They have some leads, but nothing definitive.
So, Canada, do you know of a company that would like to hire someone with a bachelor's degree and 26 years of managerial experience? Oh, and Amra Blekic speaks five languages, which might come in handy in a country where 1 in 5 people are immigrants.
She has been managing a fast-food restaurant that she says did $1.7 million in business last year. She'd like to work in the restaurant or retail world.
"But I'll take anything," she said.
Her husband operates a successful janitorial service company.
"But he'll take anything," she said.
They view Canada as their best option now, even if it's going to require more than $15,000 for the application process and moving.
It feels similar to America (albeit a bit chillier than Florida) and is within driving distance. Their eldest daughter fell in love and got married. They're hopeful she will be able to stay here in North Florida. They'd like to eventually be able to come back here to visit her, and vice versa.
And then there is Medina.
I asked her mother how she is doing less than a week before graduation. She sighed heavily.
"She's locked in her room, so I don't even know," she said. "Of course her first choice is to stay here because of all her friends. But she would love to go to Canada. Or, let's put it this way, she is ready to go to Canada because she sees there is no chance to stay here anymore."
Canada, do you have a college with an opening for a good student with great leadership skills and some memorable intangibles — like the ability to belt out a national anthem in front of a crowd?
I could tell you about all the medals on her JROTC uniform, or her grade-point average. But I think all you really need to know about her was summed up by something the head of the JROTC program did. He offered to adopt her.
If that would have made it possible for her to stay and pursue her dream of becoming a Navy anesthesiologist, he would have done it. And Medina's parents would have supported it.
But that isn't an option. So it looks like Canada is her best hope, their best hope.
I've talked to several people who know Medina and her family.
Canada, I think they all would tell you basically the same thing.
America's loss could be your gain.

Story of an anagram (Greek ana, back, and gramma, letter)...
The use of anagrams dates back to ancient greek civilization with legends that are already referring to it.
Entertainment appreciated by men of letters, anagram passes through the centuries, and this game of transposing letters of a word or a phrase becomes a literary art. Appear at that time anagrams quotes, which can take a whole new meaning once the letters are reversed.
Anagrams are also used with proper names to generate pseudonyms composed with same letters. Among the more famous François Rabelais (Alcofribas Nasier), Pascal Obispo (Pablo Picasso), Boris Vian (Brisavion), etc...
Art of anagrams is still present through many games which use permutations of letters. Scrabble, crossword puzzles, the game of numbers and letters, pyramigrammes and other word games, the list is long, and anagrams are not ready to go !

The AmeriCorps VISTAs spread holiday cheer at Adelante's Juntos Project. Every Wednesday Adelante's Juntos Project serves dinner to families, which was provided by First Presbyterian this week, and the Santa Fe Community Educators Network offers an activity for the kids. At the last Juntos Project evening of 2017, the VISTAs offered fun holiday activities for the whole family.
Louise, Sarah, Josie and I led three activities: making ornaments with recycled craft materials, turning pine cones into holiday trees, and the most sugary activity was cookie decorating. We all had a ton of fun with the kids — they are some of the sweetest kids I've met. I supervised the cookie decorating table and was amazed by the creativity and positivity of the kids! They all encouraged each other in their designs and overall had fun together. One of the boys made two cookies and, before he left, gave me his best decorated cookie as a gift. I was so touched and honored to receive a cookie from him!
From my vantage point it looked like no matter which activity the kids went to, they were having a blast, and so were the VISTAs! The parents also had a great time — many engaged with the pine cone activity and had just as much fun making holiday decorating as their kids! As VISTAs our role is indirect service, like supporting the programs who support youth in Santa Fe. It was really nice to have a connection with the kids by participating in the Juntos Project. I really hope we get to run another program in 2018!

LearnFestATX – A Learning Event From The Future
Let me paint a picture for you.
You spend a lot of money to attend a conference for professional learning. You get flights lined up, hotel, transportation, etc. Then you go to the event. You spend the first hour trying to find the registration desk. You wait in line for a half-hour to get your badge. Then you plop down on the floor and start looking over the schedule guide to see what sessions you'll attend.
There's so many choices, it's almost overwhelming. It's like walking into Costco without a shopping list. You go in wanting one thing, and you come out owning a 3-lb lobster claw that you didn't know you needed. Once you do decide on a session, you stand in line for 15 minutes hoping to get in. Others are over capacity and you can't get in, which causes you to speed walk 1.2 miles down the convention hall only to walk in late to a session and find the dreaded seat in the very middle of everyone.
After several hours of this, you are ready for an early happy hour. You see people laughing and having fun, but you're not sure what they are laughing about and if they are in fact having fun. At about 2pm, you find a local watering hole with fellow attendees trying to hide their badge of shame around their necks as you are all clearly failures.
Or are you?
I would argue that you are not the failure, but instead that the conference event failed you. In its desire to pack the house with thousands of people, the large conference has lost focus on what's most important: the attendee experience. Sure there are amazing speakers from all over and great content, but the UX (user experience) is severely lacking. Why go stand in line for a movie you might not want to watch?
On day 2, you wake up with a headache both from the early happy hour and the brain fog that comes from being overwhelmed. You go to the keynote, hoping for some inspiration. However, you are now "cattled" in and out of a 5000-seat arena where you end up skipping sitting down because you forgot to charge your laptop. So, you find a spot on the floor next to one of the 4 plugs in the 30,000 sq. ft. room. The keynote speaker is good (they usually are, to be fair) but now what? Do you engage in conversation with someone? Do you rush out the door before the closing remarks in the hopes of not being a part of the herd?
All of these above scenarios have been part of my experiences attending large conferences in the past. I feel like I spend much of my time being shepherded around or looking for the next session, but rarely walk away with my money's worth in terms of knowledge and experiences. In fact, the best learning usually happens in conversations and dialogues with colleagues or things posted on the conference hashtag.
With all this in mind, in 2012, we created an event called iPadpalooza. We didn't want to call it an "iConference" because we really wanted it to be something quite different. We wanted it to be a learning festival. A place to experience something different as an attendee. A place where the things that matter the most, the interactions, discussions, and collaboration are the focal point of the event.
Flash forward to present day.
Taking all past experiences, both good and bad, when it comes to professional learning, we are attempting something, well…different. The event formerly known as iPadpalooza is now LearnFestATX (after all, it's about the learning, not a device). Last year, rather than just changing the name and moving on, we decided to beta test some new concepts in professional learning with a much smaller audience. Following that beta test, we discovered what worked and what didn't. Taking just the parts that worked and adding in some of our own magic, we have created what we feel will be an event from the future, for the future.
Our motto this year is "Ready Learner One" along with a retro video game theme (sometimes the past can best prepare us for the future, right?). Many of the things we are trying are still top-secret, but here's just a few highlights of things you could experience as an attendee this summer:
Three Different Perspectives to Learning:
As someone attending, you'll experience learning in three different ways. The first way is the most traditional in terms of learning as part of a large group (during opening and closing events) or a medium-sized group (during interactive and make-n-take sessions). The second way is learning as part of a collaborative team either with our Teacher Shark Tank or the APPmazing Race. The third way is learning as an individual by reflecting in our Mindfulness Lounge, participating in our digital petting zoo, lunchtime interactions, or attempting to win our massive easter egg hunt (details revealed at event).
Featured Speakers:
While the traditional conference puts featured speakers in certain rooms and only for certain times, we want our featured speakers to be much more part of the event. They should be learners too. As an attendee, you should have multiple opportunities to interact with them as well. Sure, there will be some scheduled sessions, but now with our new Mindfulness Lounge and Expert's Lounge, you'll have opportunities to sit, relax and reflect with some of the top educational experts around. Our featured speakers will also be playing multiple roles in some of the experiences that are taking place, from Impractical EdTechsters to the Ed Tech Family Feud to a Poetry Slam, you'll see these folks in roles that stretch their thinking and yours.
A Different Kind of Keynote:
I can't give away too much here, but for those that attended our beta-test last year with the "Silent Disco" presentation style, we'll be doing that on a much larger scale during our opening session on June 12. Also, we'll be bringing back our "What's HOT in Ed Tech" challenge for the closing ceremonies. Let's just say it involves some new ways to "spice" up a talk to a large crowd. We're also super-pumped to have Manoush Zomorodi as our day 2 Keynote speaker. These large groups events will have tons of audience engagement as well as boat-loads of door prizes.
Dive Deeper Before the Madness:
While the main LearnFestATX runs on June 12th & 13th, we will also be having our 3-hour deep dive PreFest LearnShops on June 11th. No more fighting for a spot or a seat. Just buy your ticket, select your sessions, and you are guaranteed a seat.
In summary, I've always been of the belief that learning is an active sport. Sometimes that's a team sport, sometimes it's an individual sport. But the bottom line is, you get out of it what you put into it. This is true of either a traditional conference or our event. The biggest difference is, at our event, you don't have to try to seek out those learning opportunities. At our event, they seek you out.
I hope that you'll join us this summer at LearnFestATX. We do believe that learning as a team can be powerful too, so we offer great group discounts if you want to come hang out with colleagues or meet new ones. With our event, you have the ultimate level of voice & choice. Something we want our students to have as well, so why not model it in a professional learning environment?
Come see what all the fuss is about this summer in Austin:

#SXSWedu 2017 Manifesto
I've attended every SXSWedu since the beginning. As it's located in Austin, it's a great opportunity to learn and share with leaders from around the world right in my backyard. This year, we are sending quite a bit of staff to stretch their thinking and grow as professionals. As usual, Ron Reed and the crew at SXSWedu put together a dynamite line-up that doesn't disappoint. One thing I created to help guide staff is create a "manifesto" of sorts for those that are either going for the first time or are just needing help not being overwhelmed by all the great sessions in their lineup.
If you are a first-time or veteran SXSW-er, hopefully some of these tips will help you as you make your way towards Austin next week.
If you are with a group, create a Slack channel
Attending a large conference with a group can be engaging but you also can run into serious FOMO (Fear of missing out) on sessions you don't attend. I invited all of our staff attending to our own district Slack channel. Slack is a great way to share resources and communicate in a group format that won't crowd your inbox during an event like this. I consider it kind of like a group text on steroids. We will still encourage staff to follow along at the #SXSWedu hashtag, but using a private group Slack can be powerful when reflecting and sharing after the event is over.
Parking can be tricky…and Uber is gone
The days of free parking in downtown Austin are over (unless you are comfortable walking a long distance). That said, most of the parking around downtown is reasonably priced ($10-$15 bucks), but I'd encourage you to car pool if possible. Here's a map of downtown parking for some ideas of where to find parking. Also, as Uber and Lyft pulled out of Austin since the last SXSWedu, you'll want to use an alternate ride-share company like Fare or Ride Austin to get around down town. If that doesn't work, there are always a bunch of pedi-cabs!
Registration is located on the Northeast corner of the convention center (Exhibit hall 5). You should have been sent a badge via email from email@example.com that has your Quickcode to scan when you get there. You can also link your account with the social.sxswedu.com account to upload your picture ahead of time if you don't want them to take it when you get there.
You can pick up your badge starting at 4 PM on Sunday (advisable if you want to avoid longer lines on Monday).
Lunch places are always changing year to year so check Yelp for some good options. Prices do vary and "rush hour" is generally between 11:30-1:00. Some newer places downtown include Cafe Blue and one of the BEST pizza food trailers down Rainey street behind Craft Pride called Via313 (Detroit-style pizza). One of my favorite burger joints continues to be Casino El Camino on 6th street. Of course, if you are looking for BBQ and don't want to wait too long in line at IronWorks, I'd highly recommend LaBarbecue (order the rib, it's pricey, but worth EVERY penny!).
SXSWedu has several events that happen in the evening. There are multiple movie screenings happening throughout the week. One of note is a screening of the movie "Hidden Figures" on Monday from 7-9pm at the Stateside Theater (with a Q&A panel with @RafranzDavis and others to follow). Another event that I am personally involved in is the CatchOn Launch Party on Tuesday at 7:30pm-11pm at Cedar Street Courtyard. It's a start-up company I've been advising on and we have all sorts of fun stuff planned for that evening including a little live band karaoke! Your SXSWedu badge will get you into all of these events.
Scheduling Quirks
SXSWedu doesn't follow traditional conference schedules (1 hour sessions repeating throughout). There are variety of sessions from 15-minute talks, to Think tanks, to meet-ups, to Future 20s, to longer workshops. Be sure to create a log-in before arriving and 'star' the sessions you are interested in but also note the start and end times as many overlap. Also, note that with the exception of keynotes, most of the sessions Monday through Wednesday run from 11am-6pm and on Thursday they are from 9:30am-2pm with a closing party to follow. (you can sleep in!)
Sessions that intrigue me
I'm super pumped to see Tim Ferriss keynote on Wednesday at 9:30am. I've been a fan of his podcast and books for the last couple of years and I'm excited to hear what he has to say about learning and mastery. Sessions that focus on design thinking, student empowerment, and artificial intelligence tend to draw my interest this year. I'm also all-in on the Breakout EDU concept and I'm excited to see good friend and super-engaging speaker Adam Bellow at this year's event. This year, not only am I attending, but I'm also moderating an interactive panel called "#AppOverkill: Going Beyond the Buzzwords". I'm excited to hear from the panel of experts we have assembled and we are also going to be doing some different activities to engage audience in the conversation. Come be a part of the conversation and fun at Tuesday at 11am!
Takeaways and Reflections
Attending an event like this can be incredibly rewarding and energizing to those of us in education. However, it's important that those that attend also bring back and share their learning with others on campus.
Here is a list of questions to keep in the back of your mind as you attend sessions and look for things to bring back. (Thanks to Lisa Johnson @TechChef4U for curating this!)
- What are the top sessions/topics that you liked?
- What are the top sessions/topics that you would like to take back to your campus to impact change?
- What are the top sessions/topics that challenged your beliefs?
- Who was someone you connected with that impacted you?
- Who are the top people that engaged you?
- What are the top resources you found most impactful?
- What are the top pieces of research or studies you feel are most impactful for our students and/or teachers?
- How will I share my new discoveries from this event with my staff?
While there are many other questions you are thinking about than the ones above, keeping these in the back of your mind while attending SXSWedu allows you time to reflect when it's all over and also think about ways to share your new discoveries with others when you return.
Happy learning!
We're Bringing Boutique Back…
…..and all those mega-conferences don't know how to act.
There's a movement afoot in the Ed Tech world. It started with Ed Camps and has evolved into something even bigger.
It's the "boutique" conference.
A couple of years ago I was chatting with good friend and fellow "boutiquer" Felix Jacomino (head cheese of Miami Device). We were chatting about iPadpalooza and his (then) upcoming first event. We were talking about ISTE, the preeminent Ed Tech conference in the United States when he said something both profound and prophetic.
"ISTE is like the Walmart of Ed Tech conferences."
That phrase resonated in my brain like a Taylor Swift ear worm. I couldn't escape it or put my finger on it but Felix was dead on.
At ISTE you have thousands upon thousands of people attending for any variety of reasons and from any variety of places. Some come to learn about interactive white boards (still). Others come to learn about Microsoft Office. Others iPads. Others Chromebooks. Windows. Mac. Apps. GAFE. CCSS. PDFs. Gifs. Etc.
If you are an event like ISTE you have no choice but to go the "Walmart route" when it comes to sessions to ensure your customers have access to everything even if it might taste a little bland. While I think there will always be a time and a place for that, districts are also looking for something more meaningful. They are looking for something more tailored for their staff and their Ed tech goals. In the past, like Walmart, the attendee was forced to sort through the hundreds of isles of products (sessions) looking for that one specific item (learning) and try not to get lost or end up on stage at EdTech Karaoke (guilty as charged).
As we formerly launch the registration for our 5th annual iPadpalooza, there is a growing abundance of options available to educators and leaders. iPadpalooza started as a learning festival to share and grow in the realm of iPads but it's now grown into something more than that (we welcome all devices!). While at its heart it's meant to inspire and make learning fun, it's also meant to be an experience. No not some sort of Burning Man in the desert experience (do they have wifi out there?), but more like you are a part of the learning experience and not just an attendee.
This year's theme is "Summer Blockbuster" and is centered around the explosive potential of mobile learning but also the movie stars we have in and around education. Because this is a "boutique" event, we can offer flexibility in terms of when you can come (we have single-day passes this year) and a little extra for those wanting to dive even deeper (this year we have added some "Pre-Palooza" workshops in addition to our iLead Academy).
While my heart belongs to the mothership event here in Austin, I love the fact that these are now starting to spread into other states (not unlike TEDx events) including Indiana, Minnesota and now Louisiana. Each one is unique in that it brings in local talent and flavor into the festival-like atmosphere. At iPadpaloozaSouthTX they even created their own theme of "Day of the Tech" based on the "Dia de los muertos" holiday.
What I love most about these spin-off events is the ownership taken by districts and educators as part of the mobile learning movement. It's not just seeing someone experience the stress and joy of hosting an event that MUST have a level of fun and local spirit, but also seeing them experience the smiles on the faces of attendees. It's about the tweets of minds being blown and passion being ignited. It's about discovering something they haven't seen or thought of before and rethinking how learning can change in their classroom.
Ultimately, that is why you go to a boutique conference. Not necessarily to look for a specific thing, but to have a specific thing find you.
Who's ready to go shopping?
The Most Amazing Conference You'll Never Attend
There are very few moments in life when you know you are a part of greatness. I recently returned from a trip to the Youth Education & Technology Integration (Y.E.T.I.) conference and let me tell you, this was true greatness manifest in a conference. The event itself is kind of like burning man for educational technology (only with out all the fire and naked people). To keep mass-media and the twitteratti on their toes, event organizers actually keep the location secret until mere days before the event. Both the speakers and attendees are selected completely at random using a complex algorithm of Twitter followers multiplied by latest eBook ISBN number downloaded. I was lucky enough to be picked as both an attendee and panelist for this year's event. An while I signed an agreement not to share what I saw (they have a Vegas-like motto of "what happens at YETI doesn't get tweeted") I can't help myself. This event is too powerful not to share with others. So here goes my recap, I'll leave it posted as long as I can:
This year's event took place at the gorgeous [omitted] over a mild, partly cloudy weekend. Due to the natural terrain and the landscape of the area, no rooms were needed. Many of the natural grottoes acted as small meeting rooms and the larger caves served as auditoriums. The acoustics were incredible and because of the location being near the equator, cell carriers signals were amplified along the walls giving attendees incredible 5G WiFi connections.
Speakers & Sessions
One of the most incredible parts of this event are the absolutely ridiculous variety of speakers and educators they have on hand. I attended a session that was an actual a hologram of Bill Gates speaking to Jaime Escalante. Some sessions lasted only for only a few minutes and others, like Bill Nye's lengthy monologue, lasted several hours.
There were no start or stop times for sessions too which was a little disconcerting at first. Sessions were declared over when an organizer or attendee elected to bang a giant ceremonial gong. To announce the beginning of a new session, a giant alphorn (you know, like the ones from those Ricola commercials?) would blow signifying a new session and new gathering of folks.
Another thing that sets this conference apart are the sponsors. With the terrain being what it was at YETI, sponsors got creative. Most of their "booths" were actually giant floating platforms, controlled by drones. I was excited to see that both Google and Apple were working in partnership with Facebook as sponsors for the event, even handing out free "Privacy Jackets" (a jacket that apparently blocks all outward internet traffic and data tracking from your devices).
My Panel
I was asked to be on a panel discussing the legitimacy behind this new wearable idea called a "thoughtband." The concept is simple. Wearing a piece of technology on their foreheads like a Bill Walton headband, students' thoughts are displayed in scrolling LED fashion. Before we were even able to get into the discussion about data-mining or mind-mining for that matter, someone (who looked like a famous politician) got up and banged the gong, thus ending our session. I wish I knew what he was thinking…
Nothing is normal at YETI, including the keynote. This year's closing keynote session started at midnight and lasted until the sun began to rise. The closing keynote was delivered by noted scholar and thespian Jon Lovitz. His message of prosperity, educational equality and the need for more 80's rap music in education rang true with the crowd of thousands. Following his talk, he asked the crowd to initiate in an awkward flash-mob edu-rave of sorts. With the 80's band Baltimora playing their one-hit wonder "Tarzan Boy" in the background, the attendees went into a sort of strange crowd-surfing/internet-surfing mosh pit of sorts. Culminating in one of the strangest multi-tasking activities I've ever witnessed as attendees danced and texted on their smartphones, responding digitally to YETI's essential question for 2015: Will the wearable flip-flop change the foot of education?
The video
Alas, all good things must come to an end, and unfortunately, my violation of one of YETI's 7 tenets of attendance (though shalt not video-record) caused my immediate removal before the end of the event. Organizers wiped the video off my phone, but I was able to sneak back over a hill and capture about 11 seconds of the closing coronation where they named one attendee the Patron Saint of YETI15.
While I may risk prosecution or worse yet, not be invited back, I'm making this video public in the hopes that the rest of the world will have a chance to experience just a little taste of what I got to experience. Enjoy:
Happy April 1st everybody.
9 Tips To Getting the Most Out of a Conference
Having just wrapped up a successful iPadpalooza and seeing all the chatter around ISTE 2014 online, I wondered: what makes a memorable and meaningful conference experience?
At iPadpalooza, we had 98.4% of people tell us they would come back to our event next year. Rather than being happy about that number, I focused on what the 1.6% didn't like. Was the live music too loud? Were the speakers or presentations not what the attendee expected?
I used to be guilty of attending conferences and passively waiting for information or presentations to amaze me. I'd leave disappointed and wonder what attending these conferences would mean for me in the future. However, all of that changed when I started taking a more proactive approach to my conference experience. Here are a few steps to help anyone attending either their 1st or 50th event.
Prior to the Event
Laying a good foundation of prep work prior to attending a conference on the scale of ISTE or the variety of something like iPadpalooza can make huge a difference.
1. Find Some People to Follow – This doesn't mean cyber-stalk or physically tail someone during the event. Rather, look at the big name speakers or presenters and start to follow their work on social media. This will give you a flavor of their presentation-style and may indicate what kind of content they might offer during their sessions.
2. Identify sessions ahead of time – Looking at the program guide for the first time at the registration booth puts you at a disadvantage. Most events (especially Ed Tech ones) post their session titles and descriptions well in advance. Take that opportunity to do some early research on topics that interest you and areas that you want to improve upon professionally. Additionally as popular sessions can fill up quickly, always have a back-up plan.
3. Plan on giving yourself time between sessions – George Couros blogged about a conference in Australia that left 30 minutes in between sessions. While that's a great way to have time in your schedule, most events only allow for 15 minutes or so. When planning out your days, be sure to leave a couple of longer breaks throughout the day. This extra time will allow you to reflect on a session or connect with colleagues and maybe actually have a professional lunch that is longer than 30 minutes.
During The Event
4. Don't sit in sessions you don't want to be in – EdCamps have mastered this strategy by the "voting with your feet" way that they run their events. If you are "stuck" in a 2-hour workshop on the theory of how Disney's Frozen can be applied to advanced Physics, you either didn't research the workshop well enough or the description was completely off (First clue – it was called "Let it Go: Why Liquid Nitrogen is the Bomb") Don't be afraid to walk out to your back-up session. If that one is full, find a quiet place where you can observe and follow the conference hashtag. At least that way you might pick up on some great things shared at other sessions.
5. Meet somebody new and connect – The easy way to do this is to have some virtual introductions via social media before-hand and then approach them when you see them in person (assuming their social media avatar looks like them). The more challenging, and sometimes more interesting way to do this, would be to find an attendee sitting by themselves and just introduce yourself. You never know how their story may help inspire you in the long run and vice-versa.
6. Capture your thoughts and reflect daily – I like to blog about the things that I have learned at conferences. This isn't so much to share with others as it is for me to identify the things that I found valuable in my learning each day. Not a blogger? Use a tool like Storify to capture bits and pieces of a hashtag and make your own recap with others' social media posts.
After The Event
7. Go back and share what you learned – As teachers, we know that our students learn by doing. Therefore, take what you learned and teach someone else. The blog that I mentioned in step #6 is a great way to share what you learned. For the slightly more daring, ask to have some time at an upcoming faculty meeting to give your 5-minute Ignite-type talk about highlights of your learning to the whole staff.
8. Follow-up with attendees and presenters online – Now that you've made some connections with new people from the event, be sure to send a message in the weeks afterwards to strengthen that connection.
9. Blackmail yourself – Learning new and inspiring ideas at an event can be great momentum going into the beginning of the school year. However, often weeks or months pass before you even get the motivation to apply something you've learned and by then you are too tired with the day-to-day of school life. Rather than blow it off, blackmail yourself. Outwardly tell colleagues (online or in person) that you are going to try a new concept that you learned. Then, set a time when you are actually going to try it and publicize this as well. I like to send myself an email in the future using futureme.org or the like. Setting up that email immediately after the event ends and can immediately reignite you months later.
These steps or tips are not fool-proof, and they do require a bit of heavy lifting on the part of the normally passive conference attendee. But, if you apply some – or all of these steps – you'll find yourself not only enjoying conferences more but also sharing that joy with other colleagues and students down the road.

Customer ReviewsWrite a review
It fit great it looked great when it was attached couldn't ask for a better rail it felt comfortable when it was attached if it all my accessories fit on it is exactly what I expected everything came with it I actually love it I couldn't have asked for a better piece of equipment or a better quad rail I enjoy shooting with it every day and that I shoot that's why I gave it a 5-star rating normally I don't get products that have a rating but this product I gave a 5-star rating because it is one of the best pieces of product I have ever ordered and I recommend it to anybody that is considering buying a quad rail please purchase from this store
The heavier handguard has more inertia than a comparable ultra-light hand guard. Less recoil, less muzzle flip more precision. The lower hand rail could use a pad for comfort. Otherwise, it works for my application-& it's machineable.
I ordered the Quad Rail and it arrived quite quickly. The issues that I had were that the end cap couldn't be ordered at THAT time. The other is my mistake that I didn't order the correct length and it wasn't offered here. Otherwise I will continue to do business with them!!

Chateau Palmer Alter Ego de Palmer 2014
- we93
- wa90-92
- ws90
|Red Wine
|France, Bordeaux, Margaux
|Chateau Palmer
- we93
Wine EnthusiastThis second wine of Château Palmer is dense and structured. With ripe swathes of black fruits and juicy Merlot showing strongly, it already displays the potential of the vintage. Generous and ripe, the wine has a fine level of perfumed tannin. Drink from 2023.
- wa90-92
Wine AdvocateThe Alter Ego de Palmer 2014 is a blend of 52% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Petit Verdot. It has an opulent, glossy bouquet with layers of small dark cherries and plenty of glycerin. The palate is more reserved than the bouquet suggests: saturated tannins, a little chewiness on the entry but suppler towards the finish. It feels very linear in keeping with the style of the vintage, the finish a little sweet than its peers with a dab of licorice on the aftertaste.
- ws90
Wine SpectatorThis has a lively feel, with light bramble, bay and wet pebble notes scattered around the core of cassis and black cherry fruit. Everything knits well through the finish. Needs just a touch of cellaring to round into form. Best from 2018 through 2026.
