Fort Collins Eagle Watch
The City of Fort Collins hosts an eagle watch event every Friday and Saturday during the winter months. Master naturalists from the Natural Areas Department gather at Fossil Creek Reservoir to show participants the bald eagles and teach them some eagle history.

Spring Creek Trail (East), Fort Collins [Time Lapse] - In A Colorado Minute (Week 211)
--- ---
Fort Collins, Colorado, features five major biking, pedestrian and horseback riding trails: the Poudre, Spring Creek, Fossil Creek, Power and Mason Trail. These inviting trails make it a pleasure to cut from one end of town to the other - avoiding streets while enjoying the views of creeks, ponds, meadows, parks and wildlife.
For this week's video, I rode a German-made vintage Sears bike (thank you, G.J.!) along the Spring Creek Trail from College Avenue heading east all the way to its end to the Cache la Poudre River and the Poudre Trail.
I decided to experiment a bit with the GoPro Hero 3 (thank you, Pete!) to bring you a time-lapse video that would give you a quick and fun overview of that half of the trail. After having put the GoPro on a car mount and using the time-lapse function (a photo every second) for the The Narrows, Poudre Canyon (Time Lapse) -- In A Colorado Minute (Week 197) video and then using the video function and putting the GoPro camera on my helmet for the 1st Time Skiing -- Loveland Ski Area -- In A Colorado Minute (Week 207) video, I thought this time I would try the chest mount and let the camera record video, which I would speed up later. Yeah, not so happy with the result. Reminds me a lot of the Riding across the Brooklyn Bridge -- In A Brooklyn Minute (Week 84) video. The bumpy trail, combined with a bike without shocks, my own movement and the rolling shutter of the camera, resulted in very bouncy, wobbly footage. Applying different filters and effects to smooth it out (mainly smooth cam), led to a rather chunky image.
As I remind myself again that this web series is not about perfectionism, but about sharing moving images of a location or an event with you every single week, I'm happy to show you a non-perfect video highlighting one of the things that make Fort Collins such a great town: the trails and nature. Also it's another video that reminds me of what was going on at the time: you see my friend Erik speed past me in his Slow - Biker At Play shirt. Erik is visiting for a few weeks from Hamburg and has been riding all the town's trails during this time.
And because I also enjoy riding the trails so much, I think I'll keep experimenting with getting a better time-lapse video in the future. Next variations: helmet mount, shooting at a higher frame rate (50fps), at 1440 instead of 1080 - and trying the photo time-lapse function again. We'll see...
Also, I will upload a slower version of the entire 15-minute ride soon...
The song in this video is called Hook It Up was written and performed by Jason Matherne ( who just became a father again this weekend. Congratulations, Jason!!!

Hanging out in Redstone Canyon, outside of Fort Collins, CO, with my cousins
Thanks to my awesome cousins, Gale and Dave, for taking me up into the Redstone Canyon, just outside of Fort Collins, CO (just West of Horsetooth Reservoir). We had an awesome morning driving through the Poudre Canyon, around Horsetooth Reservoir, and then up the Redstone Canyon. I miss living in Colorado!!!!! Enjoy my awesome cousins!!
GrasslandsLIVE: Live from Pawnee National Grassland (Full Program)
Rolling acres of grassland used to stretch across the U.S. Historically the shortgrass, mixed-grass and tallgrass prairies covered about one-fifth of North America. Today, much of the historic range of grasslands has been lost, but grasslands continue to provide rich habitats for birds, fish mammals, insects and plants as well as key ecosystem services, such as capture of carbon and water. Learn about this ecosystem and how scientists, citizens, local ranchers and farmers are working together to manage and conserve this important habitat. Learn more at
Follow the Water
In this 60-minute documentary, author and photographer Michael Forsberg and filmmaker Pete Stegen set off on a remarkable 55-day adventure. They travel more than 1,300 miles—on bike, on foot and in a canoe--to trace the journey of Nebraska’s Platte River from snowmelt in the mountains of Wyoming to where it finally flows into the Missouri.
Through iPhone interviews, journals and drawings – and with a backdrop of spectacular landscapes – Follow the Water chronicles the story of where our water comes from, and why we should care.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Dallas () is a city in the U.S. state of Texas. With an estimated 2017 population of 1,341,075, it is the ninth most-populous city in the U.S. and third in Texas after Houston and San Antonio. Dallas is the main core of the largest metropolitan area in the Southern United States and the largest inland metropolitan area in the U.S. that lacks any navigable link to the sea. It is the most populous city in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the country at 7.3 million people as of 2017. Dallas is the seat of Dallas County. Sections of the city extend into Collin, Denton, Kaufman, and Rockwall counties.
Dallas and nearby Fort Worth initially developed due to the construction of major railroad lines through the area allowing access to cotton, cattle, and later oil in North and East Texas. The construction of the Interstate Highway System reinforced Dallas's prominence as a transportation hub, with four major interstate highways converging in the city and a fifth interstate loop around it. Dallas then developed as a strong industrial and financial center, and a major inland port, due to the convergence of major railroad lines, interstate highways, and the construction of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, one of the largest and busiest airports in the world.Dallas is rated a beta(+) global city. The economy of Dallas is considered diverse, with dominant sectors including defense, financial services, information technology, telecommunications, and transportation. It serves as the headquarters for 9 Fortune 500 companies within the city limits. The Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex hosts additional Fortune 500 companies, including American Airlines (Fort Worth), ExxonMobil (Irving), and J.C. Penney (Plano). The city has a population from a myriad of ethnic and religious backgrounds and the sixth-largest LGBT population in the United States.

Auburn Coach Wife Kristi Malzahn Agrees with Match & eHarmony: Men are Jerks
My advice is this: Settle! That's right. Don't worry about passion or intense connection. Don't nix a guy based on his annoying habit of yelling Bravo! in movie theaters. Overlook his halitosis or abysmal sense of aesthetics. Because if you want to have the infrastructure in place to have a family, settling is the way to go. Based on my observations, in fact, settling will probably make you happier in the long run, since many of those who marry with great expectations become more disillusioned with each passing year. (It's hard to maintain that level of zing when the conversation morphs into discussions about who's changing the diapers or balancing the checkbook.)
Obviously, I wasn't always an advocate of settling. In fact, it took not settling to make me realize that settling is the better option, and even though settling is a rampant phenomenon, talking about it in a positive light makes people profoundly uncomfortable. Whenever I make the case for settling, people look at me with creased brows of disapproval or frowns of disappointment, the way a child might look at an older sibling who just informed her that Jerry's Kids aren't going to walk, even if you send them money. It's not only politically incorrect to get behind settling, it's downright un-American. Our culture tells us to keep our eyes on the prize (while our mothers, who know better, tell us not to be so picky), and the theme of holding out for true love (whatever that is—look at the divorce rate) permeates our collective mentality.
Even situation comedies, starting in the 1970s with The Mary Tyler Moore Show and going all the way to Friends, feature endearing single women in the dating trenches, and there's supposed to be something romantic and even heroic about their search for true love. Of course, the crucial difference is that, whereas the earlier series begins after Mary has been jilted by her fiancé, the more modern-day Friends opens as Rachel Green leaves her nice-guy orthodontist fiancé at the altar simply because she isn't feeling it. But either way, in episode after episode, as both women continue to be unlucky in love, settling starts to look pretty darn appealing. Mary is supposed to be contentedly independent and fulfilled by her newsroom family, but in fact her life seems lonely. Are we to assume that at the end of the series, Mary, by then in her late 30s, found her soul mate after the lights in the newsroom went out and her work family was disbanded? If her experience was anything like mine or that of my single friends, it's unlikely.
And while Rachel and her supposed soul mate, Ross, finally get together (for the umpteenth time) in the finale of Friends, do we feel confident that she'll be happier with Ross than she would have been had she settled down with Barry, the orthodontist, 10 years earlier? She and Ross have passion but have never had long-term stability, and the fireworks she experiences with him but not with Barry might actually turn out to be a liability, given how many times their relationship has already gone up in flames. It's equally questionable whether Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw, who cheated on her kindhearted and generous boyfriend, Aidan, only to end up with the more exciting but self-absorbed Mr. Big, will be better off in the framework of marriage and family. (Some time after the breakup, when Carrie ran into Aidan on the street, he was carrying his infant in a Baby Björn. Can anyone imagine Mr. Big walking around with a Björn?)
