		<title>Resusitating Manx</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Languages intrigue me. That is not to say that I am very good with them, not even my native English á la Americaine. As early as Kindergarten I thought it was fun learning to talk a special way. The teacher at my private Episcopalian kindergarten taught us French. The problem was that 10 numbers and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rivertyde.com&amp;blog=1447462&amp;post=231&amp;subd=rivertyde&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>The iPad and the Microscope</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My iPad has not be the topic of a blog post until now. Maybe that is because I&#8217;ve had so much fun browsing the Internet and reading books with it that I&#8217;ve not stopped to write about it; besides, so many people have written, and continue to write, about the iPad that anything I might [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rivertyde.com&amp;blog=1447462&amp;post=221&amp;subd=rivertyde&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>Link Review and Purge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whew, that was tedious. I went through all of my blog roll links and purged the defunct or substantially changed ones. Some had moved to new addresses. Those I updated. All links should be current again. I don&#8217;t doubt that Rivertyde has also been deleted from blog rolls of former readers. Long stretches of inactivity [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rivertyde.com&amp;blog=1447462&amp;post=218&amp;subd=rivertyde&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>Empty Bay &#8211; Space Coast, Ghost Coast?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of years ago, I traveled to Florida&#8217;s Space Coast and visited the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, FL. I had a great time. The area was even more interesting than I had expected, and my expectations were more developed than those a kid might have on a family outing to the Space [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rivertyde.com&amp;blog=1447462&amp;post=209&amp;subd=rivertyde&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>Birthday at Roatan and Belize&#8217;s Barrier Reef</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Three years ago I learned of a Caribbean island called Roatan by following news about hurricane Felix. That was 2007 and the entry was called: Discovery by Hurricane. That brief post is one of the most visited on this blog, probably because of folks searching for Roatan as a cruise destination. Well, I&#8217;ll be actually visiting [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rivertyde.com&amp;blog=1447462&amp;post=197&amp;subd=rivertyde&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>Biting the Bullet &#8211; NaNoWriMo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, starting tonight at midnight I am going to participate in the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). I&#8217;ve thought about it in the past but have finally screwed up enough courage to make a fool of myself on (virtual) paper. As I understand it, the goal is quantity and not quality and, more specifically, a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rivertyde.com&amp;blog=1447462&amp;post=195&amp;subd=rivertyde&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>Recycling is picking up in Philadelphia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Philadelphia Inquirer staff writer Rodrigo Muzell reports on a potential deal between Philadelphia and the non-profit RecycleBank that would establish an awards/incentive system for residents: &#8220;With recycling up 46%&#8230;&#8221; However, the real news-worthy information in his article is the improved rate of recycling since the city went to a &#8216;single stream&#8217; system, which does not [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rivertyde.com&amp;blog=1447462&amp;post=191&amp;subd=rivertyde&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>Creative Genius &#8211; In or Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although I&#8217;ve not (yet) read Elizabeth Gilbert&#8216;s Eat, Pray, Love, I am currently reading The Last American Man by her. It was a National Book Award Finalist selection and profiles Eustace Conway, a committed and genuine &#8216;backwoods man&#8217; living in a teepee in the mountains where I myself grew up. Because I&#8217;m enjoying the writing so [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rivertyde.com&amp;blog=1447462&amp;post=182&amp;subd=rivertyde&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>First 100 Feet for Green</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of Philadelphia&#8217;s greatest assets is it&#8217;s Delaware River waterfront. It is a real shame that the city does not seem to know how to use it. The Penn&#8217;s Landing amphitheater and festival area were steps in the right direction but they come across as rather half-hearted, neglected, and now out-dated. During Mayor Street&#8217;s administration [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rivertyde.com&amp;blog=1447462&amp;post=178&amp;subd=rivertyde&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>Sprouting everywhere like mushrooms &#8211; Trash Compactors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last July I blogged about a small test the city of Philadelphia was running with 3 solar-powered trash compactors ( Solar-powered Trashcan Test ). Cool idea, I thought, but I did not hear anything else about them. Then over the last three weeks I&#8217;ve started seeing them everywhere. Even better &#8212; they are now paired [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rivertyde.com&amp;blog=1447462&amp;post=167&amp;subd=rivertyde&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
