A woman, who resigned her position as a dance and drill team instructor at Humble High School in 2011, is accused of carrying on a relationship with a teen student in 2010, according to a court document filed against her.
Amanda Feenstra, 30, is charged with improper relationship with a student, a felony offense.
The director of public information for the Humble Independent School District released the following statement on Wednesday:
Humble ISD has zero-tolerance for inappropriate relationships between teachers and students. The district works with law enforcement for the safety and welfare of all students.
Although the teacher has not been employed by the district during the past two school years, Humble ISD Police received information in recent months that launched an investigation. Information obtained from the investigation was presented to the District Attorney, resulting in the charge.
Amanda Feenstra resigned from Humble ISD in 2011. From 2009 to 2011, she was employed as the dance and drill team instructor at Humble High School.
The charge against Feenstra is based on the relationship that began in August 2010, when the student was 17 years old, and ended in November 2011.
The student identified in the court document has since graduated from Humble High School. She told investigators that she lived in the guest room of Feenstra's home for awhile during their relationship, despite Feenstra living with her husband.
After the student graduated, she told another Humble High School teacher about the alleged relationship. That teacher reported it to an assistant principal who then reported it to the principal who then informed Humble ISD police on Sept. 27, 2012.
The student also told investigators that she tried to distance herself from Feenstra after she graduated, but that Feenstra insisted on visiting her at her workplace and frequently contacting her by phone.
Feenstra served as the director of the Dayton Stepper Booster Club and the following biographical information was posted about her on the club website:
Mrs. Amanda Feenstra began her dance training at the age of two. Mrs. Feenstra has studied many styles of dance, including ballet, jazz, modern, cheer dance, and ballroom. Mrs. Feenstra is a former member of the National Champion FBISD Austin Angels Dance Team where she held officer positions for two consecutive years and had the opportunity to perform at Epcot Center, Sea World, and the Governor's Inaugural Parade.
Mrs. Feenstra continued dancing throughout college, attending the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Houston. At the University of Houston, Mrs. Feenstra was a member of University Dance Theatre and the modern dance company, Central Repertory Dancers, Directed by Deborah Quanaim. During college Mrs. Feenstra was honored with an invitation to participate in the Houston Limon Project where she trained and performed with the world-re-known Jose Limon Dance Company. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Houston in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science.
After graduating college, Mrs. Feenstra continued her dance career as a performer, choreographer, and teacher. As a dancer she has had the opportunity to perform at many prestigious locations in and out of Texas. Mrs. Feenstra continues to dance professionally and was recently featured as a guest artist and choreographer with Sandra Organ / Earthen Vessels Dance Co., as well as, the 2011 Big Range Dance Festival.
A member of the Texas Dance Educator's Association, Mrs. Feenstra has been teaching dance for 9 years and is certified to teach dance, PE, and health. Before becoming the Dance Director at Dayton High School Mrs. Feenstra was the Director of the Wildcatdet [sic] Dance Team at Humble High School. Under her direction the team won numerous first place trophies and choreography awards and her soloists have won top honors, including the 2011 title of Miss Dance Drill Team Texas. Many of her former students are currently dancing at the University of Houston, Texas Tech, UNT, and Sam Houston.
Previous positions held include: Dance Instructor at North Shore Senior High, Founding Director / Instructor of the Contemporary School of Fine Arts Dance Program, Resident Dance Instructor for Houston Community College, Barbizon Modeling School Instructor and Booking Agent, Vicki Michelle Cheer and Dance Studio Instructor, and Wesley Elementary Dance Instructor.

Computers stolen from Rownhams St John's Primary School
Updated 11:12am Tuesday 26th February 2013 in News
BURGLARS got away with two Dell laptop computers after breaking into Rownhams St John's Primary School.
Police recovered one laptop abandoned a short distance away from the Bakers Drovebased school.
Speaking about the weekend burglary, head teacher Rob Sanders said: "We were lucky they didn't get away with more. The burglar alarm sounded and they ran off.
"One of the laptops has already been recovered and the police are examining it for fingerprints. The computers were bought a couple of years ago. I don't have a value for them but there is a small financial element to it."
A door at the rear of the premises was forced to gain entry into the school.

adapted from the University of Iowa Animal Care Unit)
The Guinea Pig, Cavia porcellus, is a mammal
of the order Rodentia, sub-order Hystricomorpha and family
Caviidae. Three basic breeds of guinea pigs exist. The English
(short-haired), Peruvian (long-haired) and Absynninian which has a
rosette hair pattern.
Guinea pigs have several unique biological characteristics.
Guinea pigs are herbivores and unlike most laboratory animals,
except nonhuman primates, guinea pigs require a nutritional source
of Vitamin C.
Guinea pigs can be grouped by their microbial colonization:
Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) guinea pigs are free from known
bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens, as opposed to
"conventional" guinea pigs, which are not known to be free of
pathogens. Both types of guinea pigs are available for purchase. To
maintain the SPF microbial status of guinea pigs may require that
animals be housed in more stringent conditions that prevent the
introduction of other pathogens such as isolation in separate rooms
or barrier housing. This type of housing is available at the
University of Iowa, though it is typically not required or utilized
by investigators.
Guinea pigs can also be categorized genetically. Most Guinea
Pigs used in research are "outbred" animals of the various breeds.
The common Dunkin Hartley guinea pig (future picture) is an albino
outbred guinea pig of the English (short-haired) breed. Pigmented
guinea pigs of all three breeds are also available. Several
"inbred" guinea pig strains are also available. The "strain 2" and
"strain 13" guinea pigs are the most widely used inbred guinea pig
Guinea pigs are very docile and rapidly become accustomed to
gentle handling, in fact guinea pigs rarely bite. Aggression
between females is uncommon and is more likely to occur between
males in competition for a female in estrous. Guinea pigs are
easily alarmed and will often "freeze" for extended periods (30
minutes) when startled. Group housed guinea pigs may stampede when
startled which may result in injury to young guinea pigs,
orthopedic injuries, and abortion in pregnant dams. Guinea pigs are
considered crepuscular animals.
Most guinea pigs are housed in shoebox cages composed of
polypropylene (opaque) material with a wire bar lid used to hold
the water bottle and feed (figure
1). Bedding is placed directly into the shoe box cage allowing
the absorption of urine and the animal to burrow and/or den. This
type of cage will hold two guinea pigs weighing 350 grams or
greater. When removing the lid from this type of cage it is
important to remove the water bottle to prevent spillage. If the
cage is to be transported the bottle should be turned sipper tube
up to prevent spillage during transport (figure
2). However, you should remember to turn the bottle back over
to allow access to water after transport. The caretaking staff,
change the cages twice per week, thereby providing the animal a
clean cage with new bedding, food and water. Water bottles and feed
hoppers are checked daily by caretakers to insure the provision of
Some guinea pigs learn to play with the water bottle and will
drain the bottle. Investigators should check the water bottles when
they are in the room and bring any empty or low water bottles to
the attention of the caretaking staff. The water provided to
animals is chlorinated tap water.
The wirebar cagetop holds the animal feed preventing
contamination with urine or feces. Feed is provided daily. Pelleted
natural ingredient diets are used to feed all rodents and are
composed primarily of cereal grains which are supplemented with
additional protein, vitamins and minerals. Due to the nature of
this type of diet the exact composition can vary substantially from
each vendor. Guinea pigs are one of the few mammals other than
primates that require a nutritional source of Vitamin C. For that
reason guinea pig chow is has a shorter shelf life (90 days) than
standard rodent chow and is manufactured specifically for guinea
Cage cards are utilized to identify the strain of guinea pig,
sex, number, principal investigator, and research protocol. Cage
cards should not be removed from the cage to avoid
misidentification of the animals. Temporary identification of
individual animals can be accomplished by dyeing the fur or
clipping the hair. Various dyes such as trypan blue, picric acid,
fuschein or methyl violet can be utilized. This form of
identification will last only 1-2 weeks. A more permanent form of
identification can be acheived by the use of ear tags. However,
fighting between cagemates will result in the occasional loss of an
ear tag. Toe clipping is not a recommended form of identification.
Colored guinea pigs can be individually identified by noting the
pattern of coloration.
When handling guinea pigs it is advisable to wear latex gloves
to prevent the development of allergies. Guinea pigs seldom bite
but are timid or easily frightened and usually make determined
efforts to escape when held. Guinea pigs typically become
accustomed to repeated handling. To pick up a guinea pig one hand
should be gently placed dorsally over the thorax or ventrally under
the thorax and the other hand should be used to support the animals
hindquarters. Care should be taken not to apply to much pressure
over the thorax to avoid damaging the viscera or compressing the
lungs thereby compromising respiration. Special care should be
exercised in supporting the lower part of the body of pregnant
females since they may become very heavy and awkward in late
pregnancy. After grasping the Guinea pig securing it by wrapping in
a towel or holding against your body will lessen the frequency of
struggle. Do not attempt restraint by solely grasping the skin. The
lack of loose skin in Guinea pigs will result in hair depilation if
this technique is utilized. Neonatal guinea pigs can be handled
from the day of birth.
Guinea pig colonies tend to be very labor intensive and are
discouraged for the production of commercially available guinea pig
strains. For strains not available commercially or in instances
where neonatal or fetal animals are required breeding colonies are
occasionally maintained. Investigators requiring the establishment
of breeding colonies should consult with the Animal Care Unit to
assure proper management of the colonies. Breeding animals have
different nutritional requirements, which if not provided, will
have a detrimental effect on reproductive performance. Light cycles
are important in breeding rats and are provided with 12 hours of
light and 12 hours of dark. Deviations from this cycle will effect
reproductive performance.
Male and female guinea pigs can be differentiated by palpating
the penis or extruding the penis of the male by gently applying
pressure above the urethral orifice. This technique will expose the
vaginal membrane in females which close the vagina, unless the
guinea pigs is in estrous or about to deliver young. The anogenital
distance is similar and cannot not be used for sex
Guinea pigs that are moved indoors can be transported in a rat
cage. A clean rat cage can be obtained from the cage wash area and
bedded with one half inch of bedding material. If you cannot locate
a clean cage ask a supervisor or caretaker in the area for
assistance. A wire bar lid should be placed over the cage to secure
the animal during transport. If the animal is going to be in the
laboratory for more than an hour a water bottle should also be
obtained. During transport the water bottle should be placed
upright in the cage lid to prevent spillage. Transport always
results in some stress to the animal, however, animals should
recover from indoor transport within their own cage within an hour.
No recovery time may be needed if the animals are moved with care
and have become accustomed to routine transport. It is recommended
that a permeable drape be placed over the cages to darken the cage
and prevent over arousal of the guinea pigs during transport.
Guinea pigs cannot be transported out of doors or by vehicles by
other the vivarium personnel. Investigators can request transfer to
other buildings by contacting the appropriate vivarium staff

Funny Sarah Palin
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has just announced she will resign from office July 26. The announcement stirred speculation why Palin decided to step down, and what she plans to do next. Rumor has it Palin is resigning to focus on her 2012 Republican bid for President. It's still 3 years ahead, so she may have resigned a bit too early, instead of accumulating governor's credibility right till the election time. Show what Sarah Palin may do after she steps down as Alaska Governor. What might she surprise us next with her professions, hobbies, or personal life?
Funny Sarah Palin
Last Friday, John McCain's announcement for his choice of running mate raised a lot of eyebrows even amongst Republicans. It's Alaska's Governor Sarah Palin, a mother of five, who has served for less than 2 years. Palin was also less popular and experienced than any other candidate on McCain's short list. Another surprise is that Palin's 17 year old unmarried daughter is 5 months pregnant and media rumors that Palin's fifth child is also her daughter's. However, these election VP choices could be considered a balancing act. Obama chose Biden to match McCain's experience and age. In response, McCain chose Palin to match Obama's inexperience and youth. Photoshop Sarah Palin any way you wish. Some examples are: create more scandals surrounding her persona (as magazine covers, or otherwise), create election McCain-Palin election posters, show some things from her past or even childhood, photoshop Sarah Palin into movies and paintings, etc. Here's a good example.

Samuel's surprise at U's switch
8:00am Friday 4th January 2013 in Local Sport By Jonathan Waldron
New recruit Dominic Samuel has admitted his switch to Colchester United took him by surprise.
But the U's latest signing regards his move to the Weston Homes Community Stadium as a "golden opportunity" to impress.
Samuel, 18, has joined Colchester on a month's loan from Premier League strugglers Reading.
The England under-19 international is in line to make his U's debut when they travel to play Doncaster Rovers tomorrow.
Samuel said: "I was very surprised when the call came to join Colchester.
"But I'm excited at the same time and I'm looking forward to playing some football in a different team."

The question is can the train company prove if you were on that train ? No they can't so one could argue the app is aiding people to defraud the train company. If you are on a train thats delayed you know you are and fill out the forms accordingly.
I hope they are not following the banks and handing out refunds willy-nilly to whoever asks for them.

Thick head, solid looking. Clear gold,with lots of suspended particles. Smells a bit pilsnery, with a touch of fruit. A little plain, somewhat mealy, mostly fruity. Very subdued hop presence, but overall not too bad, but not too memorable either. Drinkable, but not all that often. Maybe fresher would help, although there was no date on my bottle that I could find.

Waiting for my daughter to arrive in Terminal B at the Albuquerque airport, figured I should drink some local beers. This one wasn't bad.
In a pint glass the beer was copper-colored with a medium-sized white head that left a lot of lace.
Average aroma. Sweet malt and a tiny bit of citrus.
Taste similar to the aroma. Some sweet malt and a tiny late hit of citrus.
A bit on the timid side, but still pretty drinkable.

The Santa Fe Pale Ale poured a copper-orange with an thick and creamy off-white head that laced the glass.
The aroma was faint grassy hops, some fruity esters, and a bit of DMS that became more pronounced as the beer warmed.
The flavor was sweet malt and DMS with a very faint bitterness. It was medium-bodied and creamy, kind of nitro-like.
Overall, I didn't care for it. It was a little too sweet, displayed too much DMS, and not enough bitterness. It was a pretty bland pale ale and not very pleasant.

The beer pours a clear orange color with a white head. The aroma is a mix of biscuit and toffee malt with a little bit of orange citrus notes mixed in. The flavor is similar. Other than the orange citrus notes - and a little bit of grass from the hops - I get some biscuit and toffee malt and not too much else. The bitterness is pretty low and the beer is very drinkable. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

A darker yellow color, minimal head, but the lace did stick.
A sweeter pale ale, definitely in check, hopping came off more like a good pilsner. Maybe it was the light roast/malt bill. This was definitely a mild, but appreciable beer. Not much bitterness, a good pale for a hot day. Price was more than you'd think $8.
After having had these a few times, I notice wide variation, even within the same 6 pack of these beers. They're pretty much an English style ipa, but with Cascade hops as well.

(Served in an American pint glass)
A- This beer pours a very hazy dark copper brown body with an orange glow of light at the base of the glass. There is a light tan head that is lumpy with some brown spots, possibly trub, floating on top. There is a strong carbonation of bubbles supporting it.
S- The green grassy smell of herbal hops is mixed in with a lightly toasted malt aroma that has a slight sweetness. There is a soft mint quality to the hops which is nice.
T- The sweetness of caramel has hints of biscuit malt in the background. There is a green grassy hop finish with some orange hard candy notes to it. Not much bitterness at all.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel with a slightly creamy texture and a clean finish.
D- The malt flavors are stronger than the hops flavors but they both have good flavor. This beer has some nice subtle twist to the hops but they are still pretty muted.

Big off white head that just sort of sits above a clear to cloudy rich honey golden colored beer.
Very light aroma of citrus and pine style hops.
Light citrus and pine to almost fresh grass style hops taste.
This medium bodied beer mellow to a slight bittering dry aftertaste with just a bit of the beers tastes sticking around.
An OK beer, a little week or bland but not bad either, just want a bit more from a pale ale.

Santa Fe- Pale Ale
A- Good deep golden orange/ brown with a thick frothy heavy lacing head.
S- Light citrusy hops and a creamy caramel and bready maltiness.
T- Sweet malty crusty bread and caramel malt with a light touch of citrus (orange, lemon, grapefruit,) hops. Hops are light and the malt is dominant.
M- Thick malt throughout with a mildly crisp hop touch.
Overall- An easy drinker but not overwhelming.

Received in a BOMC package.
A: Pours a nice copper color. Head is a bit disappointing as a vigorous pour gets only a couple of fingers of head that quickly dissipates to a thin ring and zero lacing.
S: Not a whole lot going on. Hops are more subdued than I'd expect from an American Pale Ale.
T: Nice balance. The hops were dominant but there was enough malt that they didn't overwhelm.
M: Probably my favorite part of this beer. Mouthfeel was medium with a nice creaminess and the finish wasn't quite as dry as most Pale Ales.
O: I thought this was a fairly good brew. Nothing outstanding but it was well balanced and easy to drink. Not one I'd go out of my way for but a good beer to drink while watching a football game (which is precisely what I'm doing).

Poured a copper color with a bright white 1.5 finger head.. Typical APA appearance
Smell: picking up caramel, toasted malts, little bready.. Just a bit of citrus notes showcasing the hop presence..
Taste: again more on the malty side.. Lots of caramel sweetness, burnt sugars, bit grainy. Finishes with a citrus hop finish. Bitter but just enough to call it bitter. As I keep sipping I'm picking up a pear flavor.. Quite interesting.
MF is light to medium bodied with good carbonation for the style..
This brew is quite easy to drink and can easily be a gateway into pale ales.
Sessionable as well

Appearance: Pale yellow ale with good carbonation and a great head. Lacing is also pretty good. A solid-looking ale.
Smell: Some nice sweetness of honey with a solid dry malt background.
Taste/Mouthfeel: Honey and melon sweetness with nice dryness. Similar to smell. A wish it were a bit bolder. Fairly decent mouthfeel, but maybe a bit thin.
Overall Drinkability: A good western ale.

When poured it looks decent enough. It's a light amber color and has an appetizing frothy-smooth head, but it dissipates quickly.
It smells like a hoppy Budweiser...maybe. I haven't had a Budweiser in awhile, but for some reason that's what my nose tells me.
As for taste, it's pretty bland in character. It's not interesting, even with the slight hoppiness, although it does go down smooth. The finish is a bit wheaty with a noticeable alcohol tang. Bottom line is, if you want a pale ale, stick with your Sierra Nevada. It's decent, but it's definitely forgettable.

I had this on tap at Catamount in Santa Fe, NM. It was a deep red color, which surprised me for a pale ale - I would have guessed it was a red by its color. It didn't have too much of a smell or a flavor. Mainly the flavor was of sweet hops - I found it to be very refreshing and drinkable.

A: Hazy amber-yellow with a big head and plenty of linger
S: Slightly malty with good hops and some citrus
T: Very malty, a little musky and a finishes with some sour hops
M: Medium body, plenty of carbonation and a hard finish
Interesting beer. Original yet simple styling, distinct if nothing else. I probably wouldn't come back for another 6 pack of this, but if it was on tap somewhere I would give it another shot.

Pours sort of a peach tea color with 3 fingers of rocky sand colored head. Average lacing & above average head retention
S: Slight citirc hops presence
T: Citric hops (lemons & alittle grapefruit), plus some breadyness up front. Finishes dry with a lemony piney hop florish
MF: Medium bodied with lively carbonation. I figure it helps the hops pop
Drinks very easy, a nice simple, but enjoyable APA. Very pricey at $9 a sixer though

2.98/5 rDev -14.1%
Lightly hazy, coppery-gold in hue; there is a bronze highlight as well. The liquid looks good enough. The head was off-white. At the apex the foam was a healthy half finger in height. Head retention was decent. It was slow to fade to a soapy cap, thicker around the edge of the glass. The subsequent lacing was unorganized but fairly widespread. This beer is pleasant enough.
The nose lacks potency. I had to strain to detect a woody-orangey aroma. I found a kiss of caramel, toasted malt. The bouquet lacks depth and articulation. It is not inviting, regardless of style.
The palate isnt too bad. The flavors a mild but there are a few layers of goodness. Bitterness is gentle but noticeable; it is mainly at the front. Woody. In the middle comes some peaches, oranges, and apricots. Nice. By the finish a smattering of malty goodness is detected, light caramel notes and some biscuit. In the aftertaste I could sense some pine. This is an APA? No. Is it English in nature? Not really. It is both and neither. It is simple but tasty. There isnt much to this beer, I do like the fruitiness and I bet this beer would be tasty with nutty cheese.
Medium/medium-light in body. Low but natural carbonation; the mouthfeel is relaxing and pleasant. It fits this beer well.
Drinkable enough to finish my six-pack; I purchased it in Fort Collins. I never had a beer from New Mexico. Now I can say I have. There is little else about this beer that is noteworthy. It is not good or bad just okay.

Had this good beer in an airport...who knew! Tasty American pale with some chops. Pour is a dark yellow, clear with nice lace but not a significant head. Smell is (dunno...I have a cold). Taste is bold. Hoppy, lots of good flavor, bitter where it should be, doesn't coat your tongue in grapefruit flavor (yay!). Malty but not cloying. Feels smooth and not too carbonated. Pretty good beer. I'd get a 6-pack. Would like to try when I can smell...(May even taste better!)

Pours out a slightly orange-tinged golden color with a moderately sized white head that thins out. Smells of regular old pale base malt with some slightly citric hops and some earthy aromas from the hops. Flavor is overly sweet from the malt with a slight hop kick toward the end. What makes this interesting is the earthy hop flavors I get from this, whereas I'm so used to the typical citrus hop overload. Mouthfeel is a little syrupy but overall decent. Carbonation is nice. It pricks slightly, but still manages to please. The sweetness kills this for me drinkability-wise. Overall it has an interesting flavor, though.

A-Hazy copper with a thick, white head of foam.
S-very weak smell, I could barely detect any aroma at all.
T-Despite the complete lack of aroma, the taste was surprisingly delicious. Citrus hoppy notes nicely balance the hops. Definitely surpassed my expectations.
M-Pretty heavily carbed, but not unpleasant
D-Not too shabby. I could go through a few of these without complaint.
All in all I would buy this again.

Poured from the bottle into a snifter a rusty orange color with little head though the crown laced some. Some citrus with a grainy presence as well. Taste is rather unremarkable with the citrus and grains present along with some remote pine bitterness. Feels good and smooth along with some oiliness from hops. Overall a drinkable pale ale.

12oz bottle into pint glass.
Hazy with a dark amber color, on the verge of brown. A light tan thick head lasts for a while with a little bit of brown yeast resting on top. Solid layers of lacing at the top, thinning toward the bottom as it turns into a mix of stringy and spotty lacing.
Very light aroma, with a little bit of the piney hops, but also some spice similar to allspice, with a little bit of a walnut smell.
Grainy malts with a little bit of an earthy nutty flavor. Some diacetyl makes its way through in the middle, with a little bit of hop bitterness showing up in the end. Medium bodied with good carbonation. The finish has a little bit of honey and hoppiness.
Bit of an odd American Pale Ale. No bad flavors, but the nut-like flavors are an unusual characterstic. When looking at the bottom of the bottle, there is a good amount of yeast sediment. I assume this is responsible for the earthy flavors such as the nut, butter, and honey.

Labor of Love: France's PGHM mountain rescue unit in ReunionFri, 11/10/2013 - 08:51 — Petzl
The PGHM mountain rescue unit on the island of Reunion, like the other PGHM mountain rescue units, is tasked with providing rescue services to the public, searching for missing persons (as requested by law enforcement or the administration), and protecting the natural environment. Although they are located 10,000 km from mainland France, PGHM Reunion still works closely with Petzl to monitor and provide feedback on PPE (personal protective equipment) performance. In spite of the Indian Ocean's exotic element, certain rescues on the island of Reunion are among the most hazardous. The rescuers, mechanics, and pilots should know since they have all also worked in the French Alps.
PGHM means "intense": Reunion's unique environment
From a safety-management point of view, the island of Reunion (224 km in circumference) is topographically built like a circus tent, with a volcano and several ravines that descend its flanks and that have indicative names like "mishap ravine." To complicate the professional lives of PGHM rescuers even further, one million people busily move around this beautiful island on a daily basis. As recognition for its natural beauty, Reunion National Park is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The triopical climate
Heat, humidity, heavy rains and intense cyclones, ever-changing and unpredictable weather conditions between the windward and leeward side of the island, and the venturi effect in the narrow valleys make piloting the rescue helicopters a real challenge (helicopters are referred to as "machines" in the French military vernacular).
A considerable temperature gradient
From 0°C to 24°C in winter between the island's 3070.50m high point (Piton des Neiges) and sea level.
Reunion's legendary canyons: Takamaka, Trou de Fer, Fleur Jaune, Bras rouge, Trou Blanc, Sainte Suzanne.
Although an extraordinary playground for the outdoor sport of canyoning, these canyons are cirques where several ravines converge into the same stream (Bras), where natural "dams" (buildup of mud, trees, …) can form during thunderstorms in the high country and then breach all of a sudden even if there is a cloudless blue sky at lower elevations.
Hikes in the Cilaos and Mafate cirques
The only way to reach the Mafate cirque is on foot or by helicopter. There are no roads. The exposed trails are a series of switchbacks and staircases built up the steep slopes and the sheer mountainsides where the exposure is hidden by thick vegetation. Even a light rain transforms the already damp soil into rather muddy terrain where the torrential runoff down each ravine turns any outing into a more spicy adventure.
Last but not least on this ecologically extraordinary island are the primary tropical forests where the succulent plants are enormous, where the thick vegetation lets little sunlight through, and where visibility is only a meter or two. In addition, nightfall comes quickly and early. Thick clouds often cling to the upper slopes, requiring helicopter pilots to navigate with zero visibility.
The volcano: Piton de la Fournaise, 2632m
A wonderful change of scenery, this dormant volcano is always an eruption waiting to happen and can wake up at any moment. The last eruptions occurred in 2007 and 2010. The prefecture sounding the alarm means that an eruption will likely occur within a very short period of time. The PGHM has 30 minutes to evacuate everyone located around or in the Pas de Bellecombe.
A day in the life of PGHM Reunion's rescuers
Two teams, a first-response and backup team show up for their 24-hour shift, from 8 in the morning until 8 the next day, at the Gillot Air Base 181 in Saint Denis. Everything is in order: the two "Machines" in their respective hangars, the 4X4 vehicles, the bags, uniforms; the team and personal gear is stowed, cleaned, inspected, approved, labeled… military discipline is required. Everything is ready, the aerial resources for the Gendarmerie's Air Division, and the SAMU's (France's medical emergency service) mountain-qualified doctors. Most rescues require a "machine," but at night or during bad weather, search and rescue operations are conducted by vehicle and then on foot in two-person teams. If children are involved, the number of rescuers deployed increases. This exciting profession requires rescuers to be readily available and always in great shape since they often carry heavy gear (tents, rescue litter, ropes, drill …). A rescue on foot can last between 18 hours and multiple days on the ground.
Communication is an essential component of the profession
Young rescuers in training know this all too will since it is their first assignment when with the group. Telephone calls from the victims (or "alerts") are extremely important. The conversation with the victim or a witness will allow rescuers to better understand the situation, to zero in on the exact location, to analyze the seriousness of the injuries, and to identify on the map all of the topographic challenges the pilot and the rescuers will face once on the ground.
At this point, a three-person discussion takes place, "we analyze the situation (weather, wind, if aerial support is necessary), and we listen carefully to both the doctor and the pilot." When the people involved (PGHM, SAG, SAMU) decide to commit, at that very moment what was a bunch of individuals comes together to form a single cohesive unit. "We are one. We are ready for takeoff."
To succeed in this profession one must understand things quickly and get right to the point. "We trust everyone we work with. The team works extremely well together, and yet there is a certain amount of individual independence since everyone has their specific role to play. We are capable of engaging an operation for a long period of time. You need to learn how to manage the adrenaline rush, to remain attentive even when doing routine maneuvers, to follow protocol. We alternate between moments of extreme concentration and periods where we can relax, but during a flight, everyone respects each other: the pilot, the people in the control tower."
This ability to listen comes after years of studying and practicing very specific techniques as well as high-quality management training. "This gives us a mutually beneficial knowledge base. We have different professions and expertise working together in the same field of operations, but we all signed up to be recruited into the group." The pilot applied to join the SAG as a mountain pilot and thus trains accordingly, PGHM rescuers take mountain-specific training clinics, and the SAMU doctors also go through mountain-specific training. Rescuers keep a close eye on and take care of the doctor during complicated rescues. They even organize technical training clinics for the doctors to augment their rescue skills.
To save lives, the aircraft team (pilot and mechanic) and the ground team of rescuers have to get along well. Their primary mission is to bring the doctor and the injured to the hospital as quickly as possible. Sometimes it takes time to medically stabilize the victim in the field, but they always see things through. You need to have a thorough understanding of the techniques, the geography and the topography of the mountains, as well as how others will potentially react in a rescue situation.
As requested by rescuers on the ground, the pilot will bring the machine as close to the rescue site as possible. The situation is often a complicated one: the injured may be too close to the mountainside or cliff, or the pilot has to try to avoid destabilizing a victim who is still attached to their paragliding wing. For a given situation, rescuers on the ground must explain to the team in the air exactly what is going on, and key words include: steep canyon, bad weather, mortal danger, imminent danger, seriously hurt child, unique situation.
On the ground, the team must first provide a clear description of the situation to the pilot and mechanic. A single version of the circumstances must be heard and understood by everyone. Nothing should be left to interpretation. In order to be extremely precise, sometimes attitude and tone are important.
Chief David Lohier talks about a dangerous rescue
Bras-Rouge Canyon: sixteen people trapped (in Cilaos at 1000m elevation) - 2012
"Having already been here for a year, I had gone out on a variety of different rescue missions: rescues at sea on a commercial ship where hoisting can be difficult when the swells are big, in canyons, for suicides, on volcanoes, following a cyclone… What was unique about the Bras-Rouge rescue was the unspoken commitment between the helicopter crew (pilot and mechanic) and us rescuers, and then with the people in distress.
Early that morning, as with every time I start my shift, I read my orders for the day and any important information from the day before. We then started the day by learning about new hoisting methods, followed by practicing these new methods. There was a relaxed atmosphere in the helicopter when we were contacted by radio to conduct a canyon rescue. The first information provided turned everyone in the machine white. We mentally prepared as best we could and then gathered the rest of the information we needed to conduct the rescue.
We took off with the new EC145*. Yannick Audurier joined me as the second rescuer. Once in the area we encountered horrible weather conditions, heavy rains combined with low cloud cover. When we arrived at the site, the Bras-Rouge River was almost overflowing, and the water was dark and muddy. At that moment we were very worried about the sixteen people who were trapped. The approach was tricky, and we had to be extremely careful. Navigating and precise piloting took on all their meaning here. Water flow and the number of people in distress made the rescue extremely problematic."
The unwavering hands of both pilot and mechanic
"We located the group 150 meters above the canyon exit, gathered against a cliff and isolated on a small rocky ledge. We and the flight crew decided that both of us would be lowered down directly to the group in order to evacuate everyone as quick as possible. Yannick and I knew that there was not a second to lose. Just before being lowered we and the flight crew agreed exactly on how to conduct the evacuation. Hoist two by two and then drop them off on the road 200 meters lower down (noria*). Speed and efficiency - the first two people, already in a total panic, were extracted. Fortunately for us no one was hurt. The group had stopped in a relatively safe place just before the water quickly rose to a dangerous level.
We used topographic indicators to check the water level, and it was continuing to rise. We asked the pilot to move as quickly as possible. A certain tension was clearly building up at the bottom of the river, only precise movements and key words were used for the hoist. The water level wasn't dropping, but it wasn't rising anymore either. We had already evacuated eight people. Our fears stabilized, but our room to maneuver had indeed decreased. We finished by hoisting the guide and his last client. In less than twenty minutes, everyone was dropped off at the bridge on the road that leads to CILAOS. Then it was our turn to be hoisted back up into the machine.
When we flew back over the drop-off zone everyone on the ground waved to us in thanks and to say goodbye. The pilot replied with a quick sound of the siren. Quite a few curious bystanders, who had listened to the rescue in real time on the radio waves, were also standing on the road in order to 'take part' the rescue."
End of the mission
"We were careful during the flight back to the air base since the cloud ceiling had dropped and continued to cling to the mountainside. We said little to each other during the return flight. Everyone was caught up in their own thoughts. Once we were standing on terra firma, we each started to share our feelings about the rescue. It's during this type of rescue that we apply all of our technical knowledge and our commitment in order to save people caught in a difficult situation, which sometimes unfortunately ends in tragedy. Upon our arrival we discovered that news about our rescue had traveled quickly. Several journalists spoke with our superiors. On our end, we preferred to keep our distance in order to let the mental stress of the mission subside. That very evening both the television news and our commanding officers congratulated us on our success. The guide and his group contacted us the next day to thank us and to tell us about how scared they were during the extraction."
*Norias: a quick rotation to drop off people or equipment in a safe zone close to the rescue site (road, clearing,…). The EC145 can hold 6 or 7 people aboard under normal circumstances, but you have to take the location, the number of people to rescue, weight, power available depending on the altitude, fuel autonomy, and the severity of the situation into consideration. So we often have to conduct "norias."
Partnership between Petzl and the PGHM
"Petzl participates in the development of verticality and lighting products, in training sessions and instruction, and in providing essential information on periodic and in-depth PPE verification (personal protective equipment).
Petzl has always worked in a deliberate manner to create products dedicated to rescues. The personnel within the PGHM's specialized units are interested in a complete line of products that adapt well to different situations, products that are reliable, robust, and durable. They are interested in specific training for products and get involved in product development by sharing their own experience. Petzl is proud to work in partnership with the PGHM. This partnership seeks to go far beyond the simple manufacturer-user relationship, to become a relationship that is a true source of creativity in this great human adventure."

Learn more about the PGHM
The primary mission of the PGHM - Peloton de Gendarmerie de Haute Montagne (Gendarmerie High-Mountain Rescue Group) is governed by the departmental rescue plan drafted by the local prefect. The PGHM is the Mountain Technical Advisor (CTM) for the Reunion prefect, and with this title it is the sole entity on the island responsible for rescues and searching for missing persons, all within the framework of a law enforcement or administrative request and to protect the natural environment.
- The prefecture's plan lays out the respective responsibilities for the SAG (Gendarmerie Air Division) commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Pascal Bernardini, the PGHM (Gendarmerie High-Mountain Rescue Group) commanded by Lieutenant GuyLe Neve, and the SAMU (mountain-qualified emergency doctors).
- The PGHM's jurisdiction covers the entire island of Reunion, including the coast. The group may also lead missions in the Southern Indian Ocean, to the Kerguelen Islands for example.
- Those missions to assist people who are lost or in danger during some form of sporting activity are linked to the inherent risks of the tropical mountain environment: mud slides, flash floods, forest fires, volcanoes, during and after a cyclone, high ocean swells along the coast. These interventions are located in isolated areas where the terrain makes access difficult and requires applying specific techniques.
- The activities concerned are primarily hiking and canyoning, but also health related evacuations such as for certain difficult childbirths. Since 2011, the PGHM in Reunion has two helicopters to work with: one EC145, and one Ecureuil BA.
- 500 rescues are conducted during an average year. An active partnership has been established with the ONF (National Forestry Office), Natural Parks, the Ministry of youth and sports, the volcano observatory, and EDF (France's electric company).
- The Reunion PGHM is made up of 15 men including 4 young gendarmes in training. Tenured members of the team hold state certification for canyoning, and certain are state-certified (and IFMGA) high-mountain guides. They are all trained police officers, they are all rescuers, they have all received mountain specific training by the Gendarmerie, and have earned certification to lead operations for rescue missions.

State agencies have been authorized to assist local governments in responding to the snow storm that hit central and northern Virginia.
Approximately 170,000 customers are currently without power in Virginia, and that number will likely increase as the storm continues to affect Virginia and winds increase.
In declaring a state of emergency, the governor authorizes state agencies to identify and position resources for quick response anywhere they are needed in Virginia. State agencies have been responding to the since last night. Actions taken in Virginia include:
• The Virginia Department of Emergency Management has held weather conference calls with the National Weather Service, state agencies and local governments.
• The Virginia Department of Transportation has 2,424 pieces of state equipment, approximately 7,144 pieces of hired equipment and 818 pieces of interstate contractor equipment available for snow- and ice-control activities. VDOT also has 335,000 tons of salt and 125,000 tons of sand and abrasives on hand. VDOT's goal is to have all state-maintained roads passable within 48 hours after the winter storm ends. In northern Virginia, VDOT has one snow removal program for high volume roads such has Interstates 66, 95, 395, 495, Routes 1, 7, 15, 28, 50, Fairfax County Parkway, Prince William Parkway, etc.), and another snow removal program for subdivisions (main thoroughfares in neighborhoods, residential streets and cul de sacs). Crews will be working on high volume roads and in subdivisions concurrently. For each of these programs, roads with the highest traffic volumes are cleared first.
• From midnight through 10 a.m. today, Virginia State Police fielded 1,346 calls for service, which included more than 367 traffic crashes and 237 disabled vehicles. As of 10:30 a.m., troopers were responding to a total of 111 incidents across the Commonwealth. The majority of the crashes involve damaged vehicles only and no injuries. The bulk of the crashes are taking place in the Metro Richmond region and the Augusta County-Charlottesville area. Shifts have been extended and additional troopers called out to work so that all available personnel are on the roads and available to respond as quickly as possible to traffic crashes and stranded motorists. No traffic fatalities have been reported. Virginia State Police are still advising motorists to avoid traveling on the roads as this system continues to produce additional amounts of snow in the western, central and northern regions of the state.
• The Virginia National Guard is staging personnel to support Virginia State Police in snow response. The VNG has been authorized to bring up to 200 personnel on state active duty. At this point, two groups of 50 personnel will be staged in northern and central Virginia.
• The Virginia Emergency Operations Center has additional response team members to coordinate the state's response to the storm.
The governor will have a press conference today at 1p.m. We will have the press conference live on NBC12 and streaming on NBC12.com and mobile devices.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
The first pitch comes in at fun 5.10c. This is the second to last bolt line on the right side of the crag. A high first bolt up some slabby stuff sets you up. Follow the bolt line as the route turns steeper, then go through an overhanging bulge. The second pitch wasn't done by us, but it follows the right bolt line, and includes a "tricky crux bulge" just before the final anchor. From these top anchors, you can try "Too!", by scrambling up to the anchors up and right.
This is 2 pitches long. There are 6 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor, then six more bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. It is 105' from the top bolts, so bring a 60m or rappel in two pitches. It is very well protected.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Agro Lab's process is superior: Aseptic Packaging
Yes, all liquid dietary supplements Agro Labs makes are flash pasteurized. Previously, they have packaged their products in glass bottles (and even a box around that). In an effort to be more environmentally friendly, AgroLabs has decided to do away with the box and now are switching over from a glass bottle to a plastic bottle. Using plastic bottles allows us to save fuel and energy as plastic weighs much less than glass and it is 100% recyclable! Furthermore, they switched to plastic after reaching the conclusion that the carbon footprint of plastic is actually smaller than using glass. The bottles Agro Labs chose are BPA free and give the ability to do Aseptic pasteurization. This new Aseptic pasteurization is the latest technology in food processing, which cannot be done in glass. The principal benefit of Aseptic processing is that they are able to significantly reduce the amount of heat applied to the product. Agro Labs is one of the few companies able to use this process on nutritional supplements and as everyone knows heat degrades the nutritional value of fruits! Please be aware, many or all of the glass fill products on the market have to be cooked for much greater periods of time to meet proper safety procedures. If it is in plastic and not through an aseptic process, preservatives have to be added. So, Aseptic pasteurization is the best process for these type products.
Can you take more than one Agro Labs products at the same time?
Yes, you can certainly take more than one Agro Labs products at the same time, however they don't recommend taking more than 3 ounces of each. Also please keep in mind that 3oz shots are intended to be 1 serving.
What is the shelf life of this product?
AgroLabs products maintain a 2 year shelf life. Keep all products refrigerated after opening. Consume product within 60 days when opened.
What is an ORAC score?

A.Tim Uhler, a lead framer for Pioneer Builders in Port Orchard, Wash., responds: According to the IRC, rafters and ceiling joists need to have at least 1 1/2 inches of bearing when supported by wood or metal (R802.6, 2006 IRC). While this clearly establishes the horizontal seat cut's minimum length, its maximum length varies according to the size of the rafter and the pitch of the roof.
For example, the IRC allows the ends of rafters to be notched as much as one-fourth their depth (R802.7.1), but on a shallow-pitched roof this can result in a seat cut that's wider than the top plate. When that happens, roof loads are carried by the toe rather than the heel of the rafter, reducing the rafter's bearing capacity and increasing chances that the rafter will split (see illustration). Instead, the seat cut should be no wider than the width of the plate.
But using the width of the top plate to determine the length of the seat cut can also get you in trouble; as the roof pitch increases, so does the likelihood of overnotching.
To illustrate, a 2x12 rafter that meets the IRC's D/4 notching limitation cannot have a notch deeper than 21 3/16 inches (11 1/4 divided by 4). This isn't a problem on a roof with a shallow 4/12 pitch, since the seat cut could be as long as 8 7/8 inches. But for a 2x12 rafter on a roof with a steeper 12/12 pitch, the seat cut can be no longer than 4 inches before the D/4 limitation is exceeded. If the rafter is cut for full bearing on a 2x6 wall, the resulting notch would be deeper than 21 3/16 inches.
Keep in mind that even if your rafter stock is sized larger than it needs to be for its span, you still shouldn't overnotch. This is because larger knots are allowed in 2x10s and 2x12s than in 2x6s and 2x8s; overnotching a large rafter voids the grade stamp and may compromise the stock's structural integrity.
To simplify matters, I use the cutting capacity of my 10 1/4-inch Big Foot saw (702/565-9954, www.bigfootsaws.com) to help determine the size of the birdsmouth. I typically gang cut my rafters, and 90 percent of the time I set the saw to 3 inches to make the seat cut for both 2x10 and 2x12 rafters.
I've found that making a 2 1/2- to 3 1/2-inch seat cut (depending on the rafter stock and the slope of the roof) seems to work better than trying to match the seat cut to the width of the plate, because I don't have to worry about whether my birdsmouth cuts weaken the rafter.
When rafters are gang cut, the saw's cutting capacity helps determine birdsmouth dimensions; a 10 1/4-inch Big Foot saw is capable of making a 3-inch seat cut, which is suitable for a wide range of roof pitches and rafter sizes.

It was a tale of two halves in Columbus as Penn State and Ohio State looked to be on their way to a shootout at the half. By then, the two teams had combined for 34 points, with Penn State leading, 20-14. But coming out of the break, everything went silent as both teams struggled over the final 30 minutes.
The Buckeyes had their chances, driving into Penn State territory late in the fourth quarter, only to see the drive stall on a false start penalty. Facing a fourth down and needing 10, Braxton Miller came up a yard short on the scramble, giving the Nittany Lions the ball back.
Penn State was unable to do anything on the ensuing possession, giving the Buckeyes one last chance. An intentional grounding on first down put Ohio State in a hole, and Braxton Miller was never able to get anything going. Miller missed on his next three passes, the last of which, on fourth down, ended the game.
The final score in Columbus: Penn State 20, Ohio State 14.

At first glance, it's the most conventional Eastern Connecticut Symphony Orchestra concert of the season � a couple of symphonies and a violin concerto. But is it?
Saturday's concert at the Garde Arts Center kicks off with a Beethoven symphony, pretty odd, since these usually are the headliners. But Music Director Toshi Shimada has picked Beethoven's first symphony, his energetic and good-natured response to Haydn and Mozart, not one of his epic later works. Hmmm �
Then comes the woefully under-performed violin concerto that really isn't a violin concerto. It's Bernstein's Serenade for Violin, String Orchestra, Harp and Percussion after Plato's Symposium, a five-movement work from 1954 that is as charming as its name is clunky. The soloist will be David Halen, who is concertmaster of the St. Louis Symphony.
And for a grand finale, there's Carl Nielsen's almost cinematic Symphony No. 4, called "The Inextinguishable." Written as World War I raged, the symphony is about the triumph of life and hope in those most hopeless of times. The final movement is pure drama, as timpani set on opposite sides of the stage exchange auditory cannonades, until optimism triumphs.
The Eastern Connecticut Symphony Orchestra, 8 p.m. Saturday, Garde Arts Center, 325 State St., New London; pre-concert talk by Gary Chapman at 7 p.m.; $27-$60 with senior, student, and active military personnel discounts; $12 student rush tickets at the door; (860) 443-2876, gardearts.org.

---- — NORTHFIELD, Vt. — Plattsburgh State scored twice in a span of 1:03 Saturday and kept St. Thomas from finding the net the whole game.
Mark Constantine and Connor Gorman had second-period goals as the Cardinals blanked the Tommies 2-0 in the consolation game of the PrimeLink Great Northern Shootout men's hockey tournament at Kreitzburg Arena.
"I thought we played really good defensively from the goalie on out. I thought we did a good job," Plattsburgh coach Bob Emery said. "I think the best part of our defense was our puck possession in the offensive zone. I thought we really controlled the puck in the offensive zone."
Norwich edged Middlebury 5-4 in the championship game.
There were few scoring chances in the opening period of the first game as the teams combined for just four shots on goal. But Emery thought it was a good start for the Cardinals (6-2).
"I thought we played great in the first period," Emery said. "We broke out of our zone really well, and we moved the puck in the neutral zone all night."
Their offense got going in the second. Constantine broke the scoreless tie 3:27 in with an assist from Gorman. Then Gorman gave the Cards a 2-0 cushion just over a minute later by chipping in a rebound on the power play.
"Like coach says, you just gotta drive the net," Gorman said. "Our defense played great tonight, getting the puck up to the forwards. We found some lanes to cut through and make some nice passes. Some good puck movement all around."
St. Thomas also trailed 2-0 after two periods Friday, and it came back to tie the game in the third. But Saturday, Plattsburgh continued to hold the Tommies (5-4-1) off the scoreboard in the final period. While Emery said the Cardinals made mental mistakes on Day 1 of the tournament, he said they were smarter with the puck against St. Thomas.
Sam Foley made his first start of the season in net for Plattsburgh and picked up the win by stopping 15 shots.
"I thought we did a good job clearing pucks in front of Sam, and he was equal to the task. I'm happy for him," Emery said. "He's a kid who works hard, and this was only his second start in his career and he gets the shutout. Everyone on the team has a place in their heart for Sam, and we're happy for him."
St. Thomas also used a backup goalie, Tyrone Simcoe, who made 19 saves.
For the Cardinals, it was the second straight weekend that they dropped the first game and came back with a shutout. They'd like to stop needing to bounce back.
"I just think we need to come out stronger on Friday nights. Every night we gotta come out strong," Gorman said. "Sam did a great job (Saturday) stepping in. We all did a good job playing defense; that's what wins the game.
"Obviously every game's important, and we gotta put that in our mind. And we know that."
Gorman made the All-Tournament Team.
Colin Mulvey netted two goals in the final five minutes of the second game to lift Norwich to its second straight PrimeLink title. Norwich took a 2-1 lead early in the second period, but Middlebury later responded with two goals within a minute. Matt Silcoff tipped in Evan Neugold's shot from the point at 14:17, and then Michael Longo got to a loose puck just outside the crease and steered it in.
Brendan McGovern made it 4-2 in the third, but the Cadets came back. Travis Janke scored during a delayed penalty, and during the power play, Janke got the puck at the right side of the net and fed Mulvey, who one-timed it in to knot the score.
In the closing seconds, Janke found Mulvey again, and he slammed the game-winner in the open left side of the net with 6.7 left on the clock.
Chris Czarnota earned the win with 19 saves. Mulvey was named Most Valuable Player.

I developed network tool application (ping + sending some custom TCP/UDP packets), which I use only for my internal test purposes in our company and which will never reach the market. This application will be enhanced/changed many times as new requirement for fuctinality will arise. Until now I wrote code only for pre-Symbian9 devices and I had no problems with it.
I tried to read all available materials I found about platform security and signed process, but I still don't clearly understand what I should do. Can you correct me?
As I will need access to phone manufacturer approved capabilities "Network control" and I develop for both UIQ3 and S60FP3 I will need approval from both manufacturers (Sony Ericsson and Nokia) to get developer certificate and I will be forced to renew it every 6 months. Additionaly I'll need ACS Publisher ID from Verising, which is necessary for signing the application before requesting developer certificate? Everything could be done via www.symbiansigned.com page?
There's also way how to certificate freeware applications, could this apply on my case?
Thanks a lot

A Synagogue Story Filmed for Posterity
"Many congregations all over the South no longer exist because the community moved away," says journalist Adrian Hirsch. "So it's really significant that our synagogue, Congregation B'nai Israel of Baton Rouge, has survived." For the temple's 150th year anniversary, Hirsch, former B'nai Israel president Mathile Abramson, and professional videographer Marc Goldstein created the film, "L'Dor V'Dor—From Generation to Generation, Congregation B'nai Israel of Baton Rouge" to memorialize the temple's rich history and tell the story of its survival.
While gathering interviews, photos, historical documents, music, and artifacts, Abramson discovered that her husband Steven's ancestors were among the congregation's pioneers; his great-grandmother Bertha Abramson helped raise money through cake sales and bingo to purchase the synagogue's first property. "Seeing how we evolved," she says, "makes me believe we will continue to survive."
The film was screened to a packed and thrilled congregation. Each member family received a DVD and copies have also been distributed to Louisiana libraries and other institutions.
Hirsch advises other congregations interested in creating their own history DVD to start early—at least one year before their anniversary. Goldstein suggests you first assess your resources: Would a temple member who is a videographer or researcher help, or do you need to raise money to hire a professional? Can a longtime member who knows the congregation well guide the process? For more advice, contact Adrian Hirsch, firstname.lastname@example.com or Mathile Abramson, email@example.com.
Legacy of Love
In 1867, Temple Beth El (House of God) was founded by 65 Jews in Helena, Arkansas—most of them owners of dry goods and other retail establishments thriving in Helena's steamboat port for the cotton-growing Arkansas Delta. At its peak in the mid-20th century, more than 100 Jewish families lived in this historic town that played a significant role in the Civil War and in the evolution of blues music, but in the last decade the town's economic depression decimated its Jewish population. In 2006 the 140-year-old Reform synagogue closed its doors.
Henceforth, Miriam and David Solomon hosted services for the nine remaining Jews in their living room, playing music recorded by a Memphis temple and reading archived sermons by a former rabbi. For the High Holy Days they hoped to show a DVD of a service, but when one could not be found, they decided to produce their own. They hired a documentary filmmaker and enlisted Temple Sinai in Washington D.C. (where their son Lafe is a member and there's a 25+ member choir) as the community to be filmed. The high quality recording now includes erev Rosh Hashanah, Rosh Hashanah morning, Kol Nidre, and Yom Kippur day services.
The nine Jews of Helena watched the DVD in the Solomons' living room on the High Holidays, the "beautiful music and liturgy exceeding our expectations," the Solomons say.

Mitzvah Quilts
On Fridays, about a dozen Temple Israel, Ottawa volunteers cut, design, iron, hand-sew, and sandwich squares together to make baby quilts for families in Israel affected by terrorism. Congregant and retired teacher Merle Haltrecht-Matte proposed the idea of making and sending 60 baby quilts in May 2008, to celebrate Israel's 60th anniversary; retired teacher Patsy Royer joined the Israel Tikkun Olam initiative as a quilt teacher and designer. To date the group has exceeded its goal fourfold: Members, religious school students, and friends have personally delivered 250+ quilts and handmade blankets.
