Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 1 fresh whole turkey (18 to 20 pounds), brined
- Turkey Brine
- Porcini, Chestnut, and Sausage Stuffing
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Cook's Note
Step 1
Remove turkey from brine. Discard brine. Pat turkey dry inside and out with paper towels. Place, breast side up, on a rack set in a roasting pan. Let stand at room temperature for up to 1 hour.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with rack in lowest position. Fold a piece of cheesecloth (about 3 feet long) into thirds, place inside turkey cavity, and open up to create a pouch. Loosely fill cheesecloth pouch with stuffing (do not pack tightly), and tuck in ends of cheesecloth to close.
Step 3
Tuck wings underneath the turkey, and tie legs together with kitchen twine. Brush turkey all over with butter, and season generously with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Roast turkey, basting with pan juices every 30 minutes and rotating the pan after 2 hours, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the thigh registers 165 degrees, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Remove stuffing pouch, and then empty it into a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Cover if desired, and return stuffing to oven; bake until it registers 165 degrees, about 30 minutes more. Transfer turkey to a platter, reserving pan juices for gravy. Let turkey stand for 30 minutes before carving.

I have prepared this special turkey for my family for the last several years. Everyone loves this brined recipe which has made me the "it" person for the main dish every year!
easygurrl29 Dec, 2011
better than a stiff italian sausage stuffed into my english muffin
Tomnorcal26 Dec, 2010
We made a lot of changes and used a diffrent (maple) brine but the method of using the cheesecloth worked really well. We basted with melted butter and chicken broth in place of the wine. We also placed garlic and onions with broth in the bottom of the roaster. We had to add water during the bakeing The gravy made from this was fantastic.
anamariandreu25 Dec, 2010
Fabulous taste, easy to make when you have all the ingredients, no mess if you use a bag to brine and my family absolutely loves it. This is the third year in a row I cook this recipe for my Christmas Turkey. Highly recommended!!!
tulachase14 Dec, 2010
I tried this last year and it was salty, salty, salty. I felt like I had ruined a perfectly good turkey.
SickittenDC24 Nov, 2010
Even if you 1/2 ass this, it works out great.
gretalee723 Nov, 2010
Should I rinse the turkey after bringing it out of the brine before roasting?
rlbvw30 Oct, 2009
I'm concerned about the drippings from the brined turkey being too salty for gravy, as a few mentioned. Is that a concern? What should I do?
LauraWaugh28 Nov, 2008
I followed this brine (minus the juniper berries), and roasted/basted as directed. It turned out soooooooo good. It was my first time making the Thanksgiving turkey and it was so easy and tasty. I will definitely be using this recipe next year!
taydaz527 Nov, 2008
OMG...I left the gizzards and liver inside the turkey while it was with the brine!!!! That's going to affect it flavor?????? I hope not...This is my first time roasting a Joe!!!
taydaz527 Nov, 2008
This is my first time roasting a turkey...I've watched this tutorial several times and after struggling getting my turkey in the bin with the brine in the refrigerator, today's morning I realized when I started to diiiscard the brine that I left inside my JOe the gizzard and the liver, jajaja...is that going to affect the flavor of the brine???? I hope not! That was the awful smell, yeah, I thought it ws the wine effect...jejejee...but I'll let you know later how it came out...
amgodfrey27 Nov, 2008
I made this recipe last year, and that was my very FIRST time even making a turkey! My husband LOVED it (even better than his mom's...shhh), and it was requested of me again this year. The turkey comes out beautiful--golden brown, and it is very juicy and flavorful. I hope you have the same success! :)
ImaCook26 Nov, 2008
Janluvs411...Look at the recipe, the 2nd item is the Turkey Brine. Click on it and it will take you to the brine recipe. Happy Thanksgiving All. We all have so much to be thankful for!!!
cnusbaum26 Nov, 2008
Doesn't the turkey have to reach a temp of 170 before you remove it from the oven? Then it reaches 180 while resting. The recipe says 165, is that right?
katie200026 Nov, 2008
ah man, i already washed it, do you think i wasted all my brining effort??
janluvs41126 Nov, 2008
Does anyone have the recipe for brining????? I watched it on her Thanksgiving Show 2007...I remember onions, oranges, Kosher salt..
porter08108126 Nov, 2008
Katie2000...you only pat the turkey dry after taking it out of the brine. Don't wash it. And yes, butter the skin and put a bit of salt and pepper on it before placing the soaked cheesecloth on the top. Good luck! (This will be my first year making this recipe, too!) HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
katie200026 Nov, 2008
These two questions are urgent for me and appreicate any reply ASAP.
1- does anyone know if i have to wash the turkey after taking it out of the brine?
2- also, do i have to salt the skin after brining and before placing in the overn?
Many thanks!

TurkeyLover25 Nov, 2008
Absent the brining, I have been using this recipe since 1997 and it's a no fail recipe - the turkey is alway moist and delicious! I am excited to try to brine the turkey this year to rejuvenate the recipe. I have used all types of turkeys, fresh, organic, and frozen (when money was tight!) and it always turned out delicious! The basting may seem like a lot of work - but it's definately worth it. Don't cover the turkey with a lid.
MrMonroe24 Nov, 2008
Where is the Bourbon Brine Turkey recipie from Chef Chris that Martha used to have on the site?
kcrichto24 Nov, 2008
I made this recipe last year and I didn't cover it. I just left the cheesecloth on top and it came out AMAZING...
katie200021 Nov, 2008
Does anyone know if I have to use a turkey pan lid to cover the turkey while in the oven or only the cheesecloth on top would be enough?
Thanks a lot.
scottdennis17 Nov, 2008
I have cooked my Christmas turkey this way for the past two years and everyone has thoroughly enjoyed it and made very positive comments. Easy to prepare and cook. The Turkey is very moist and is golden brown. I use a Pear and Pecan Stuffing
Trishy20 Jun, 2008
I made this for Christmas 2007. I bought the brining bag online (goldaskitchen.com) and ordered a fresh turkey from the meat shop. Sensational. I made my own bread
LindaSchmutz30 May, 2008
Thanksgiving 2007 was my first attempt at brining. I used a Organic Turkey and bought all of the brine ingedients with the exception of the wine at our local health food store. I used to think it would be too much work, but it was real easy. I used my turkey fryer pot placed into a larger cooler and kept ice around it. I always use a Nesco roaster which makes it very tender but the brining made It the best roast turkey I have made. Very flavorful,tender and juicy.
sonyapiredda18 Jan, 2008
I made this turkey for the first time Christmas 2007 with my husband, who refuses to cook, but insisted he help with this one! We made the brine together, and he even insisted on tasting it, and he said the brine tasted fantastic. This is the most amazingly juicy and moist turkey and the brining process and the soaked drunken cheesecloth are to thank for this. This recipe is well worth the effort. I had my local butchers hanging on my every word for this recipe!
ginou12 Dec, 2007
I didn't try it yet
alidat1 Dec, 2007
This was my very first time making the entire Thanksgiving dinner for my family of 15. They all loved the brine turkey. I will never do it any other way. It was juicy, and I didn't rinse it because the directions didn't say to. I had a lot of salt left at the bottom of the bag, but I didn't worry about it. I also put a half of a cup of gin in instead of juniper berries. the stock and stuffing were also delicious. I used a granny smith apple and frozen chestnuts instead of sausage.
Yellowmoonbeam28 Nov, 2007
Question: What type of turkey should be used for this recipe? Most turkeys are already pumped full of tenderizing agents. Is this recipe best used with a farm raised/free range/organic bird? Would love to try the recipe but I don't really think a bird most of us see at the supermarket is the right choice.
dladd2127 Nov, 2007
Used this recipe for the first time and couldn't be happier with the results! Everyone wants me to cook it again for Christmas!!!
jetlag26 Nov, 2007
Brine was simple but I substituded the juniper berries for 3 oz of gin. I agree this turkey was the best ever, flavorfull and moist. I wonder if instead of basting you could put in an oven bag with vegetables and get the same flavor.
cdl26 Nov, 2007
THe same thing happened to me. I followed the directions and even rinsed the bird after brnning. I will never brine a turkey again.. I would like to know how Marthas team tested this receipe because I don't know what I did wrong.
ankec23 Nov, 2007
The turkey was wonderful! Very moist and very flavorful. I will definitely make it again next Thanksgiving.
beth03323 Nov, 2007
This turkey is amazing! Everyone said it was the best turkey they ever ate. It was so juicy and flavorful.
barbaranne23 Nov, 2007
ALERT to readers: Drippings from roasting a brined turkey CANNOT be used to make gravy!! Big disaster at my house. Nor can the drippings be used to flavor anything: TOO SALTY, of course.
sierramalnove21 Nov, 2007
Earth Balance Buttery Spread is dairy-free and an EXCELLENT substitution for butter when going kosher. it is also vegan
PatKauf21 Nov, 2007
To JanMM...on her recent Thanksgiving Special, Martha stuffed her bird. She warned the audience to do it "loosely." It's the packed stuffing that can go sour if the heat doesn't penetrate quickly.
To DSP... yes, a smaller bird is cooked more quickly. Be sure to take the bird out about 15 degrees early because it continues cooking. I learned this from a Martha tip years ago.
PatKauf21 Nov, 2007
Elanshore olive oil is too distinctive. I've never used the butter step for health reasons and the turkey was always great. Follow everything else Martha recommends and remember to take it out about 15 degrees earlier because it keeps cooking. I learned this from a Martha tip a few years back and never again have had a dry bird.
eeron21 Nov, 2007
suehusa-we were having the exact same problem...I think it's beacuse the solution is saturated....no more salt will dissolve. We just added an extra 4 cups of water (subtracted from the 28 cups) and the salt dissolved within 10 minutes. Hope this helps!
hris21 Nov, 2007
This is the first year I have tried a brine method. I enjoyed 'searching' for the ingredients and found all the spices at a local health food store at a very resonable price (MUCH less than the supermarket!). I am using a 10 gallon zip lock bag - I got a box of 5 for $5.00 at Big Lots. I tied the bag up and set it in a large roasting bag and it fits nicely on a shelf in the frig.
elanshore21 Nov, 2007
I need help!
I have ONLY ever used this turkey recipe for thanksgiving. The problem is that I now have someone coming who keeps kosher and so I cannot use butter. What can I substitute for it? I know margarine is out, but what about olive oil?
suehusa21 Nov, 2007
i have been stirring my salt for the brine for over an hour and the salt is still now disolved, what should I do?
Dovie21 Nov, 2007
Trying the brining method for the first time. Does the turkey have to be thawed before brining? I'm not serving dinner until Sat. so I have time....
coloradokim20 Nov, 2007
BarCar, you're welcome! And I was wrong, turns out it is yellow mustard seeds I have as well, I could not find the others at the grocery store after all. So I will be making that substituion as well. And gin for juniper berries, great idea! I may try that if mine from the trees don't work (I have to figure out how to dry them first.) Good luck ... I am curious to hear after Thanksgiving how everyone's turkey turned out!
BarCar20 Nov, 2007
Thanks for your response, coloradokim! I looked at many stores and finally settled for yellow mustard seeds. I found a website that suggested 1 tsp gin = 2 juniper berries so off to the liquer store I went!
coloradokim20 Nov, 2007
BarCar, I don't know if you have juniper trees where you live, but I was able to go outside to pick teh berries from a juniper tree in my backyard. If I didn't have one, I could have picked them from my neighbor's tree, they are everywhere here! I found mustard seeds at the supermarket in the spice section. Good luck!
cookingbob20 Nov, 2007
Cooking a 10 lb turkey. (empty nesters) How does that effect the cooking time at the various temperatures and the removal of the cheesecloth. (fourth hour?)
BarCar19 Nov, 2007
I can't find juniper berries or brown mustard seeds! Where should I be looing for them, and what would be a suitable substitute if I can't find them?
kathy872218 Nov, 2007
I have used this recipe for many years. The turkey comes out perfect; however, my stuffing is bloody and I have to discard it immediately. I always have extra cooked in a separate dish but geez - I love stuffing straight from the turkey. My husband and I have cleaned the turkey obsessively - it doesnt make a difference. Any ideas why my stuffing is bloody?
cjowens16 Nov, 2007
These brining and giblet broth methods were so well received, the members of my church club/fellowship at Rolling Hills Moravian Church, Longwood, FL, asked for copies of the pages I pulled out of "Martha Stewart Living" magazine. This is the second year I have used your brining method to prepare turkey for our group. And my daughter-in-law is also going to prepare our turkey this way next week. Thank you. Caroline Owens
lynneamelia16 Nov, 2007
We use the Reynolds turkey cooking bag to brine our bird. We went to a fast food resturant and paid $ 5.00 for a used 5 gal pickle container, with a lid. They are bright green and easy too find in the storage cabinet every year...
EMMeyer16 Nov, 2007
I live in the middle of nowhere Iowa, nowhere close to a BBB, so I just went to WalMart and bought one of those giant ziplock bags, I found them in the storage section! I hope that helps and I hope they work!!
superkungfugirl16 Nov, 2007
the brining bags are at bed, bath and beyond for $5 and the container is at the container store. hope that helps!

Does the cooking time change if the turkey is only 12-14 pounds?
regirl7714 Nov, 2007
I have made this turkey before, and if you don't want to stuff it you can still cook the turkey the same way. Also, the turkey does not need to be rinsed off before patting dry.
MissTammie14 Nov, 2007
when cooking the turkey, do i do it the same way if i don't want to stuff the turkey?
lisd12 Nov, 2007
When the turkey comes out of the brine, should it be rinsed off with fresh water before patting it dry with paper towels?
JanMM12 Nov, 2007
Is it safe to cook the stuffing inside the turkey? I have heard so many chefs say "no" lately. I think if anyone would know for sure, it would be Martha and her staff.
I prefer to cook it inside, I love the exchange of flavors between the meat and the stuffing, neither one taste as good when the stuffing is cooked elsewhere.

Sort By :
This is an excellent recipe without using a pudding mix. Sometimes I use almond flavoring and I have to 4X the recipe...there's NEVER any leftovers (usually theres 10-15+ people eating). If you like it thinner, just use more milk. My son likes to add heavy whipping cream to his bowl, makes it thinner and creamy(er). : )
This was wonderful....I loved it so yummy!
This was to die for!! Made it for my family and we all licked our bowls clean! Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe!!
Yummy...Yummy...Did I say Yummy!!
My oldest son, who's staying with us while recovering from back surgery, requested this recipe! I've been making it since it was published in TOH in 1996. We have 6 kids & this was frequently a Friday meatless meal for us. Never had leftovers! The fact that my kids still ask for it when they're home says how much they love it still! I don't add the raisins because my family doesn't like them. But, we sprinkle it with cinnamon & sugar. Wonderful!

Gotten into similar problem with my N9. Gmail, Nokia acount works fine but I can't connect to Twitter and Facebook using the built-in applications. Twitter says "can't connect to twitter' and when I refresh FB I see 'account disabled' when I complete my swipe action. Only thing I suspect is two days back battery went flat and didn't charge the phone for ten minutes or so. Any solution to this problem other than hard reset/developer mode method?.
If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.

Hi krizanand,
Have you tried to delete the accounts by going to:
Accounts--->(Twitter), (Facebook)---->option (Three line symbol)---->delete.
Restart phone and add accounts again. This should solve the problem.
Hope this helps,

I tried the following:
enable developer mode in N9 settings.
In pc:
ssh user@149......(so my N9 IP)
gconftool --recursive-unset /system/http_proxy
gconftool --recursive-unset /system/proxy
Then in N9:
Accounts ->create new twitter
Twitter was able to login immediately
So no osso unset was needed -> no IAPs reset
-Can't tell if it causes something else later.
-I didn't have any proxies defined earlier, so via UI was not solution for me.

Thesis Information
Thesis Guidelines
The Northern Michigan University guide to the preparation of theses is available in Adobe pdf format. If you don't have a pdf reader you can download one here.
Thesis Guidelines
Thesis Submission
All Northern Michigan University MA and MS theses will be submitted electronically. Beginning with the winter semester 2014, theses will be posted to the NMU Commons. Prior to the winter 2014 semester, UMI Dissertations Publishing was the company that published NMU theses.
Many graduate schools have chosen to submit theses electronically. There are many benefits to students who use this mode of thesis submission. Paper theses by definition represent a storage problem, due to the fragile nature of the printed page. Paper theses may be difficult to access, both within and outside of the university. The paper thesis is often kept only in the library. Theses distributed electronically will result in Northern Michigan University works that are available to an international audience. A published thesis will provide the student with a curriculum vita entry that can be cited by others, and it permits wide recognition of student work.
The following three items should be submitted 30 calendar days prior to graduation:
- Two original paper copies of the completed signature approval page (signed except for Dr. Brian D. Cherry, Assistant Provost of Graduate Education and Research) must be delivered to the Office of Graduate Education and Research. The reason for the paper submission of these two pages is that since the thesis will be published, the distribution of electronic signatures on the signature approval page could compromise the personal security of the thesis director and readers. The signature page included in your on-line thesis should not be signed.
- The completed thesis should be submitted to the NMU Commons.
NOTE: A paper copy of your thesis does NOT get submitted to the Office of Graduate Education and Research. We only require the on-line submission.
Once the student has submitted his or her thesis, the Assistant Provost of Graduate Education and Research will receive notification of that submission. The Assistant Provost will NOT review any thesis until the signed signature approval forms have been received in the Office of Graduate Education and Research.
The Assistant Provost will review the thesis, noting any changes that must be made prior to thesis acceptance. After the student has made the necessary changes, the thesis will be approved and publicly available shortly thereafter.
There is no fee for thesis submission.

|Dixon says Van Wert County budget good — so far
|Friday, October 11, 2013 12:00 AM
Times Bulletin Editor
VAN WERT — After nine months, the Van Wert County budget looks to be in good shape, according to County Auditor Nancy Dixon.
Dixon gave a report at the Thursday morning meeting of the county department heads. She did note that the $365,000 penalty given the county by the State of Ohio is having a huge effect on the budget. Those funds are included in the 2014 budget under expenses but County Commissioner Thad Lichtensteiger revealed that there is hope growing that the money will be covered by insurance.
"We still have that huge $365,000 obligation hanging over our heads, and that's a huge difference-maker for us because we got a little bit of a chirp from our risk-liability insurance carrier… that they are preparing a document for us to sign. So we're getting the chirp that perhaps they are going to cover that," said Lichtensteiger. "And that's enough of a difference-maker that it moves us from $180,000 in the red to $180,000 in the black just by that one decision there."
The $365,000 penalty was the state asking for federal funds back from the completed sewer project on U.S. 127 and St. Rd. 118 south of Van Wert. The money was used correctly and the project was successfully completed but a piece of paperwork was not filed in a timely manner. Despite the state releasing the funds to the county, an auditor found that the deadline for returning a request for the funds was missed. Since this spring, the commissioners have been appealing to state and federal agencies, as well as talking to political leaders, to find some way to negate the penalty. A payment plan has been scheduled for 2014 with the majority of the balance backloaded while more efforts to negate the fine are made.
If Lichtensteiger is correct that the insurer may cover the amount, the county's financial situation will greatly improve.
"We're hopeful that in the next month we will see some positive outcome from that," he commented.
Commissioner Stan Owens added that even if the insurance claim is not paid, "We're not just going to walk away when we feel we have a legal avenue to pursue. We're not just going to walk away from it because we feel they definitely should pay it."
Another major financial consideration is health insurance for county employees. The commissioners have been working for months looking for a better rate. The county's insurance has been with a five-county consortium for at least 20 years but have not found comparable coverage at a lower price. However, this year, Lichtensteiger noted a few insurance quotes that could save the county significantly. One possibility could cut the insurance funding from a projected $2.25 million for the year down to $1.5-$1.75 million.
"We could save some serious money next year," Lichtensteiger declared. "We're doing a lot of research and a lot of due diligence before we make an ultimate decision. We'd like to save a bunch of money for the county but we'd also like to be able to save the employees some money. I think that's our ultimate goal."
Those numbers could drop even farther with the use of private exchanges but those proposals are still under investigation. Another idea being floated to cut expenses is to offer a higher deductible but offer to pay the additional deductible our of county funds. In most cases, employees do not go over the current deductible.
"We are trying to be innovative and look at all avenues and lower our costs, and the employee's costs if possible," Owens stated."

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A Rhode Island man was mauled by a grizzly bear during a guided hunt in the Alaska wilderness, Alaska State Troopers said Tuesday.
John Matson, whose hometown in Rhode Island wasn't immediately available, did not appear to have life-threatening injuries, troopers said.
Troopers were informed of the mauling late Monday evening about 50 miles west of the interior Alaska community of McGrath, which is about 225 miles northwest of Anchorage.
The attack happened after Matson shot a grizzly during the guided hunt, troopers said in a web posting. The bear ran off after being shot.
Matson went to search for the bear, and while he was in high brush, the bear attacked him. Troopers say the bear was shot several more times before it took off.
Matson, who is believed to be in his mid-40s, received injuries to his head and body, troopers said.
Weather prevented troopers from getting to the scene after the mauling. Other hunters in Matson's party controlled the bleeding and cared for him until a helicopter dispatched from the state's Rescue Coordination Center was able to reach them Tuesday.
Matson was initially taken to McGrath, and then put on a medical transport flight to Anchorage.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article

Myofascial release is a soft tissue therapy for the treatment of skeletal muscle immobility and pain. First described by Andrew Taylor Still and his early students,[1] the therapy relaxes contracted muscles, improves blood and lymphatic circulation, and stimulates the stretch reflex in muscles.[2]
Fascia is the soft tissue component of the connective tissue that provides support and protection for most structures within the human body, including muscle. Osteopathic theory proposes that this soft tissue can become restricted due to psychogenic disease, overuse, trauma, infectious agents, or inactivity, often resulting in pain, muscle tension, and corresponding diminished blood flow. Although fascia and its corresponding muscle are the main targets of myofascial release, other tissue may be addressed as well, including other connective tissue.[2]
The term myofascial was first used in medical literature by Janet G. Travell in the 1940s in reference to musculoskeletal pain syndromes and trigger points.[citation needed] In 1976, Travell began using the term "myofascial trigger point" and in 1983 published the reference Myofascial pain & dysfunction: the trigger point manual.[3] There is no evidence she actually used what is now termed "myofascial release".[citation needed] Some practitioners use the term "myofascial therapy" or "myofascial trigger point therapy" referring to the treatment of trigger points, usually in medical-clinical sense. The phrase has also been loosely used for different manual therapy techniques, including soft tissue manipulation work such as connective tissue massage, soft tissue mobilization, foam rolling, Rolfing, and strain-counterstrain techniques.
Myofascial techniques generally fall under the two main categories of passive (patient stays completely relaxed) or active (patient provides resistance as necessary), with direct and indirect techniques used in each.
The direct myofascial release (or deep tissue work) method engages the myofascial tissue "restrictive barrier" (tension). The tissue is loaded with a constant force until release occurs.[1] Practitioners use knuckles, elbows, or other tools to slowly stretch the restricted fascia by applying a few kilograms-force or tens of newtons. Direct myofascial release is an attempt to bring about changes in the myofascial structures by stretching or elongation of fascia, or mobilizing adhesive tissues. The practitioner moves slowly through the layers of the fascia until the deep tissues are reached.
Robert Ward suggested that the intermolecular forces direct method came from the osteopathy school in the 1920s by William Neidner, at which point it was called "fascial twist". German physiotherapist Elizabeth Dicke developed connective tissue massage (German: Bindegewebsmassage) in the 1920s, which involved superficial stretching of the myofascia. Ida Rolf developed structural integration, in the 1950s, a holistic system of soft tissue manipulation and movement education based on yoga, osteopathic manipulation, and the movement schools of the early part of the twentieth century, with the goal of balancing the body by stretching the skin in oscillatory patterns. She proposed that she could improve a patient's body posture and structure by bringing the myofascial system back toward its normal pattern. Since Rolf's death in 1979, various structural integration schools have adopted and developed her theory and methods.
Rolf reduced her practice to a maxim: "Put the tissue where it should be and then ask for movement."[citation needed]
Michael Stanborough summarized his style of direct myofascial release technique as follows:[4]
Different practitioners bring their own style, knowledge, and experience to their work which can have a significant effect on their client's experience.
The indirect method involves a gentle stretch, with only a few grams of pressure, which allows the fascia to 'unwind' itself. "The dysfunctional tissues are guided along the path of least resistance until free movement is achieved."[1]
The indirect technique originated in osteopathy schools and is also popular in physiotherapy.[citation needed] According to Robert Ward, myofascial release originated from the concept by Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of osteopathic medicine in the late 19th century.[5] The concepts and techniques were subsequently developed by his successor.[vague] Ward further suggested that the term "myofascial release" as a technique was coined in 1981 when it was used as a course title at Michigan State University.[5]
Carol Manheim summarized the assumptions underlying the practice of myofascial release:[6]
The indirect myofascial release technique, according to Barnes,[7] is as follows:
In 2011, the UK Advertising Standards Authority ruled that there was inadequate scientific evidence that myofascial release was effective for any condition.[8]

Amazon Web Services, fresh off an outage that brought down big-name sites such as Reddit and Imgur, today announced an 18 percent price reduction for its virtual machines, the 21st time the leading infrastructure as a service (IaaS) vendor has dropped prices since launching its cloud in 2006.
In addition to the price drop, AWS released a new series of Elastic Cloud Compute instances with high input/output qualities. They're optimized, AWS says, for media encoding, batch processing, caching and Web serving. The extra-large instance (m3.xlarge) comes with 15GB of memory and 13 ECU -- which are Amazon compute units -- across four virtual cores. A double extra-large instance has 30GB of memory with 26 ECUs on eight virtual cores. The service debuted in the Northern Virginia US-East region, but AWS plans to roll it out to other regions early next year.

Small instances went from $0.08/hour to $0.065/hour, medium instances went from $0.16/hour to $0.13/hour, large instances went from $0.32/hour to $0.26/hour, and extra-large instances went from $0.64/hour to $0.52/hour
Dan Feld, who manages sales and business development at AWS consultancy Newvem and is a former AWS exec with the same role for Amazon in Europe, says the price drop for the small instances is a significant move for a lot of customers. According to a sample of 40,000 instances that Newvem monitors for customers, m1.small is the most popular type, making up more than 25 percent of instances. All of those customers will have a drop in prices. Along with the price drop, AWS is filling out its product portfolio with higher-end instance types as well, he says.
"Amazon sure doesn't want to make it easy for competitors," says cloud analyst Paul Burns of Neovise about the company's 21st price drop in six years. As processing performance continues to improve, Burns says AWS has taken the approach that it will pass those savings on to customers whenever it can, as opposed to waiting for some major breakthrough in performance or cost.
It's the same idea on the new instances. The high-end instance types follow a trend by AWS in recent years. AWS has rolled out high-performance compute options, cluster compute instance types, and now these new large and extra-large high-memory offerings.

Parts of New Jersey and New York remain a work in progress six months after Superstorm Sandy caused billions of dollars in damage.
Gov. Chris Christie will be in Highlands, where he'll visit businesses and make a storm-related announcement with U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has paid out $387.4 million in housing grants and $263 million to communities and nonprofit groups in New Jersey since the storm hit in October.
Reconstruction continues on the Jersey shore's tourist attractions, with the goal of having most boardwalks reopened in time for the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
It's taking homeowners longer to rebuild as they await insurance payments and word from federal and state authorities over new flood maps that govern the price of flood insurance.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – The WAVE 3 News Sunrise team is trying to learn many of the Winter Olympic events.
Trying being the key word.
In this segment, John Boel and Christie Dutton hit the slopes at Paoli Peaks to see what freestyle skiing is all about.
John was pretty confident when their instructor told him about a basic step. "That's for babies, c'mon take me to the next step," he said. But he may have spoken too soon.

Not surprisingly, the first Penn State game in Happy Valley after the Jerry Sandusky scandal forced the ouster of football coach Joe Paterno and president Graham Spanier brought a bit of protest to State College, Pennsylvania. But what some Penn State fans did to one man who had the audacity to hold a sign reminding them that today's game should be about honoring the children abused by Sandusky and abandoned by a system that only very slowly reacted to serious allegations about him is ultimately very troubling.
Washington Times writer Nathan Fenno has that story, about a father named John Matko who drove three hours from Pittsburgh to hold up signs that quoted Albert Einstein's "The world is a dangerous place" remark and asked the community to "Honor the abused kids" by canceling the game and the rest of Penn State's season. For his trouble, Matko, who reportedly kept quiet as he was berated, was showered with expletives and a beer, called a "pussy," and rewarded with a solitary "I agree" over the course of an hour.
Understandably, Penn State fans around Beaver Stadium on Saturday are probably inclined to ignore a world beyond Penn State football, and may have been more football-focused on this Saturday than any other, given how painful this week has been. But Matko's apparent point — that fans shouldn't forget the crime, and the evil, that occurred, and that those who stood by and allowed it to occur should be punished for it — is one that it takes a lot of spite and ignorance to shun.
The most heart-breaking portion of the story is the last sentence:
"Not now, man," one student said, shaking his head. "This is about the football players."
The part of the Penn State fan base Matko encountered may have plenty of love for kids, but it would seem they just have to be Joe Paterno's, and good at football, and not the faceless youngsters whose lives were forever changed by horrific abuse in possibly the darkest chapter of the university's history. On Saturday, for those who angrily confronted Matko, it would seem that football comes first, and the rest can come after.
If there are lessons to be learned about the primacy of football from the Sandusky tragedy, they certainly haven't been learned by the whole of the Penn State fan base just yet.

Reviews for Ranch Turkey Wraps
Sort By :
Very good. My brothers really enjoy these when I make them for their lunches.
It sounds great- but 37 grams of fat! Use lowfat cream cheese and dressing. Reduce the amount of both. Use high fiber tortillas or Nature's Own Sandwich rounds. Cut the amount of cheese in 1/2 and/or use a lower fat cheese. These changes can make this into a much healthier meal.
I fixed this tonite's dinner along with cream of asparagus soup(which is a recipe we have enjoyed for years and came from a Taste of Home issue) My husband and I both enjoyed the wraps. I did not use turkey but instead bought a rotissere chicken from our local grocery store. I cut back on the cheese and really enjoyed the ranch dressing, avacado and tomato. This is going to be added to my recipe box and will be used often.

The 2012 Honda Civic Tour, in its 11th annual run, featured headliners Linkin Park and Incubus, with dates through North America in August and September. Travis Shirley, who is production designer for Linkin Park and works in conjunction with creative director Bill Boyd, created the looks for the band's performance for this tour in a design that will continue once the band hits the road on its own.
Shirley first worked with the band for the Billboard Awards earlier this year. "We carried the concept from that show into this tour in terms of incorporating a pyro design and the overall feel of the show," he says. "The band has a lot of new material, so we really wanted to go with a new and different look for them, a more dynamic-looking show."
This started with the stage, made up of an X-shaped ramp that the band members can travel, leading to a section referred to as "the bunker," a 7'-tall riser that spans the length of the stage. "This acts as the backbone of the set design," says Shirley. "In that bunker, we have pyro coves where we can have gerbs and mines, and we actually have dragons built into the physical set. Underneath the set is where the techs have their different stations. The video world is upstage underneath the set as well." Pyrotek Special Effects provided the pyro effects. Tait built the set.
Covering the bunker are four "shutter boxes" as Shirley calls them, describing them as "devices that we put on the downstage side of the bunker to cover up the tech world, and they're essentially a wall—each box 10' wide by 7' tall—with approximately 140 Chroma-Q Color Blocks behind it." A series of mechanical louvers, metallic on one side and black on the other, can open and close via air pressure to create various looks and chases throughout the show.
Significant in Shirley's lighting rig is one of the first uses of the new Martin Professional MAC Viper Profile. "I was one of the first to take out the MAC 101s on Enrique Iglesias, and the timing worked out once again," the designer says. "There won't be a show in my near future that won't have these lights on it." He specifically notes the fixture's optics, color temperature, and stock gobos. Shirley's all-Martin moving light rig also includes MAC Auras™, MAC 101s™, MAC 401s™, MAC 700 Profiles™, and MAC III Performance™ units.
Shirley calls the MAC Vipers, positioned on the downstage truss as well as upstage right and upstage left, his "slice lights" on the rig. "They really slice right though everything we have going on," he says. "So if I have a beautiful Congo blue look with Auras, I can really turn the Vipers on, and just due to their brightness and color temperature, and how they cut through everything, I can use them to define and frame the big picture and act like a marquee."
The MAC Auras—the workhorses of the show, used in every song—create a general stage wash and set the tone of the palette. The MAC 101s sit on upstage vertical towers for timecode-triggered chases and backlighting for the band members. The MAC III Performance units are used for general profile lighting and to texture the stage and audience, as well as for some aerial effects. The MAC 700 Profiles sit on the floor "to help give some sizzle and eye candy to the floor and complete the picture," Shirley says. "I'm really big on sidelight, and I also have MAC 401s on pipes at different heights on the side of the stage, and they give a really cool wash from the side to the band members."
Shirley also uses Chromlech Jarag 5s, half pointed down on the stage and half into the audience, for blinder effects. Lycian M2 truss spots and house spots round out the lighting, which was supplied by Christie Lites. The show runs on an MA Lighting grandMA console, with an additional console on tour for backup.
The 18mm video screen is V-18 from PRG Nocturne Productions, which Shirley calls "a beautiful screen that does really well handling a tasteful blend of I-Mag layered on top of all the other content." That other content was created by Boyd, who is a music video producer, with additional footage from Ghost Town Media. "The content is really crucial for the show," adds Shirley. "We're running all content via [SAMSC Design] Catalyst media servers, all triggered with timecode via the tracks. There's a lot of electronics involved with Linkin Park, so the entire show is timecoded—lighting cues, video cues, pyro, everything."
Shirley notes that the show is "very industrial looking, in terms of set design and the way we lit it. It's a little bit like organized chaos the way the show is put together and the way I've cued it. A lot of the cues are a little bit dirtier than I'm typically used to, but this show called for that type of cueing." Drew Gnagey programmed the lighting and the video, while Matt Mills is the touring lighting director.
Linkin Park has wrapped the Honda Civic tour, but this design will be out again, touring South America later this year and hitting Europe and South Africa early next year, with additional US dates to be announced.

Battle creek, mich.—July 10, 2011—The Wisconsin Woodchucks got out to an early lead over the Battle Creek Bombers, but they could not pull out the victory, as the Bombers prevailed, 6-3.
Cody Regis stayed hot at the plate for the Woodchucks as he led off the second for the 'Chucks with a solo home run to right field. He also drove in the Woodchucks' second run of the game on a single that brought in Seth Batty.
The Bombers tied the game at two in the bottom of the third, though, on a two-run home run by their All-Star third baseman, Troy White.
The 'Chucks took the lead right back in the fifth on an RBI-groundout by Kyle DeMerritt. However, the Bombers scored a run of their own in the fifth after a sacrifice fly by Jordan Dean brought home Brendan Norton, who had tripled in the previous at bat.
In the following inning, the Bombers' Brett Wiley had another triple, and came around to score on a single by Daniel Rockett to give the Bombers a 4-3 lead.
Jordan Luvisi had perhaps his best start this season as he pitched seven innings, allowing four earned runs on seven hits, but he kept the Woodchucks close the entire game.
The Bombers added two insurance runs in the eighth to make it a three-run game, and that would be enough, as they defeated the Woodchucks 6-3.

Crystal Palace stars ready to don the colours of their countries
3:57pm Monday 24th February 2014 in Sport By Jack Miller
Nine Crystal Palace players have been called up for international duty next week, including five players who will be representing the home nations.
All of them will be hopeful of landing a place in their respective national squads ahead of the Euro 2016 qualifiers, which begin in September.
Barry Bannan will travel with Gordon Strachan's Scotland squad to Warsaw to take on Poland - who, coincidentally, were drawn alongside Scotland in group D of their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.
Meanwhile Danny Gabbidon, Jonny Williams, Wayne Hennessey and Joe Ledley make up a quartet of players selected by Chris Coleman to represent Wales in their friendly with Iceland next Wednesday.
Wales, having been drawn against Belgium, Israel, Andorra, Borsnia and Herzegovina, and Cyprus in a relatively easy group B, must now fancy themselves to qualify for their first major competition since 1958.
Jonny Parr was also called up into the Norway squad for their game with the Czech Republic, and will be hopeful of winning his 10th cap during the friendly in Prague.
Elsewhere, Adlene Guedioura has been included in Algeria's squad in their World Cup preparations as they face Slovenia, while Adrian Mariappa could add to his tally of 15 Jamaican caps as they play Grenada in a friendly.
Finally, Palace skipper Mile Jedinak will be in action when Australia take on Ecuador in another World Cup warm-up fixture at Millwall's home, The Den.
The Socceroos have been drawn in a tough group alongside 2010 winners Spain, the Netherlands and Chile, and Jedinak will be looking to cement his place in the Aussies side ahead of the showpiece tournament in Brazil.

Vacation Rentals in Scotland
Scotland Rental Results
Scotland Local Information and Area Highlights
Travel to Scotland / Scotland Vacation Rentals
The wonder of castles, verdant countryside, outdoor activities, a plethora of golf courses, and distilleries only scratch the surface of defining the character of Scotland. To learn more, plan to take advantage of a Scotland vacation rental.
Scotland Golf
Golf is Scotland's passion, not surprisingly with the natural lush landscapes and the fact that the game of golf started hundreds of years ago in the Lothian countryside. In Scotland, vacationers are encouraged to learn how to play golf or to improve their game. You won't just find the longer 18-hole courses; delightful 9-hole courses await your swings. Regional golf passes are obtainable. Visit world-renowned courses like St. Andrews and Gleneagles' three courses, and don't forget to stop at the British Golf Museum in St. Andrews, an interactive museum detailing golf's history from the Middle Ages to today. Imagine how great a Scotland vacation home located right near a golf course would be!
Scotland Vacation Spots
The Highlands area of Scotland remains a natural wonderland, through history and even today. Dolphin watching is popular in the Black Isle coast, and the Northern Highlands tell the tales of thousands of years of the human existence. The center of the city of Inverness greets all with traditional entertainment, and could you possibly catch a glimpse of Loch Ness with its legendary creature? Climb high on the Cairngorm Mountains, or take in a leisure activity in Fort William…the Highlands are made for exploring. Retreat to the Inner and Outer Hebrides for pristine beaches, archaeological sites, and unique culture and traditions.
The areas around Aberdeen are called Whisky and Castle Country. Noted malt beverages and famous distilleries await the thirsty and tour-interested. Grampian is truly an area of castles, with the densest population of castles in the entire United Kingdom. The cosmopolitan city of Aberdeen welcomes vacationers with a myriad of arts, culture, and the Granite Mile of shopping and dining. Find a coastline including lava cliffs and 150 miles of untouched beaches. Visit the Royal Family's getaway region of Royal Deeside.
Angus and Dundee are filled with historical appeal, from ancient times to majestic Scottish Kings, to the beginnings of today's royalty. The Angus Glens provide a beautiful setting for so much outdoor activity, from artistic pursuits to mountain biking. Dundee offers an incredible range of things to do; you can view the dormant volcanic plug of Dundee Law, and take in fascinating literature and arts. Take a long look at the Firths of Forth and Tay in the Kingdom of Fife. Choose beauty, shopping, or both in Perthshire.
Oban is blessed with gorgeous landscapes and seascapes, and a bustling bay with ferries, fishing vessels and yachts. On the island of Mull, Tobermory is home to more wonderful land and sea views among a wealth of other things to do. Mid Argyll, Kintyre and Islay hosted the beginnings of Scotland from the Irish tribe of Scots. Stroll down the Victorian seaside area in Rothesay, or enjoy the many historical and architectural sights from the waters near Dunoon. More Scotland history is in Stirling's Old Town.
Edinburgh is a city of stunning architecture, including its stately castle atop volcanic rock. A lovely blend of history and modern city envelops Edinburgh, and even its villages sport an urban character. Entertainment and art here is truly world-class, from performers to clubs. The Lothian areas outside Edinburgh present goods for history lovers, adventure lovers, and culture lovers.
Glasgow's architecture is completely amazing, and Glasgow has received high praises for it. A variety of shopping experiences can be had from chic designs to flea markets. Superior art and strong culture complement the incredible national and international dining. South of Scotland is a gateway to farmland, forests, and rocky coasts, where the pubs carve out personalities and the outdoors also offers a real taste of Scotland.
Scotland Rentals are ideal for any vacationer!
Scotland rentals come in a wide variety, so you can choose the Scotland vacation home that is ideal for you and your fellow travelers, whether that includes children and/or pets! So look through the Scotland vacation rentals found here -- in addition to the other accommodations in surrounding areas -- and take your pick.

Dominic Massa with reporting by Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS – Qualifying wrapped up Friday evening for statewide and local races on the Nov. 6 ballot, with metro area congressional representatives picking up more opponents and a former New Orleans City Council member signing up to run for her old seat, in what will be one of the closely-watched city races.
In the City Council race, former District E council member and state lawmaker Cynthia Willard-Lewis was a late entry in the race, qualifying just before the 5 p.m. deadline. She recently suffered a diabetic stroke but apparently is well enough to mount a campaign.
Willard-Lewis, who held the District E seat for nearly 10 years before running unsuccessfully for an at-large post earlier this year, faces five other candidates in the race to replace Jon Johnson. He resigned after pleading guilty to federal charges. The others in the race are: state lawmaker Austin Badon (who lost the race to Johnson in 2010); attorneys Dana Henry and James Gray; activist Jerrelda Drummer Sanders; and Mary Fontenot Smith.
In the race for City Council District B, there are five candidates. The post was vacated when Stacy Head was elected to an at-large post. The candidates signed up to run are: Broadmoor community activist and neighborhood leader LaToya Cantrell; Dana Kaplan of the Juvenile Justice Project; Eric Strachan, who has worked on the council staffs for Jackie Clarkson and Stacy Head; Donald Vallee, the former president of the New Orleans Landlord Association; and bounce artist Marlon "10th Ward Buck" Horton.
For a look at the candidates who qualified in all races, log on to the Secretary of State's web site.
Statewide, Democrats were unable to attract candidates for all of Louisiana's U.S. House races, as the election sign-up period closed Friday.
All of the state's congressional representatives drew opposition for their re-election bids, though several face challenges from little-known candidates who have done no fundraising so far.
Libertarians filed paperwork to run in more congressional races than did Democrats, as the party continues to struggle in a state where Republicans have gained significant ground in recent election cycles and the moderate "Blue Dog" Democrats who once held most statewide offices have dwindled.
Democrats signed up to run in three of six congressional districts. Libertarian candidates qualified for five of the races.
"I just think it shows the decline of the Democratic Party," said Jason Dore, executive director of the Republican Party of Louisiana.
The most high-profile congressional race is in the 3rd District, where two Republican incumbents -- Charles Boustany of Lafayette and Jeff Landry of New Iberia -- were placed in one district after Louisiana lost a congressional seat due to population shifts. Come January, the state's number of congressional representatives will go from 7 to 6.
A Democratic candidate for the district emerged Friday as Ron Richard, a Lake Charles personal injury lawyer who'd never run for office, signed up for the race a few hours before the candidate qualifying period ended. He joins GOP and Libertarian challengers for the seat. They will all square off in the open primary contest, with the runoff election set for Dec. 8.
In the New Orleans metro area congressional races, incumbent first district Rep. Steve Scalise, a Republican, picked up four opponents: another Republican, two independents and one Democrat. They are: Gary King, Vinny Mendoza, Arden Wells and David "Turk" Turknett. Mendoza and Wells have run for office before, never successfully.
In the second district, incumbent Cedric Richmond will face three challengers, all considered by many to be political novices: Republicans Dwayne Bailey and Josue Larose; Democrat Gary Landrieu and Libertarian Caleb Trotter.
Landry and Boustany are squaring off against three other candidates in the third district. The redrawn district now includes parts of St. Charles, Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes, as well as much of southwestern Louisiana.
Boustany and Landry both qualified to run, facing Republican Bryan Barrilleaux, Democrat Ron Richard, and Libertarian Jim Stark.
Locally, all seven members of the Orleans School Board are seeking re-election, and most are facing multiple opponents. District 5 member Seth Bloom did not see any opponents and will be re-elected without opposition. In other races, candidates are running for seats on the board which will receive even more scrutiny in the coming year, with several schools poised to return to local control after several years under the leadership of charters or the state's Recovery School District
There are also several judicial races on the metro area ballot. In Orleans Parish, three candidates will run for a Criminal District Court judgeship, with Judge Lynda Van Davis' announcement that she will be stepping down. Juvenile Court Judge Tracy Flemings-Davillier will run for the post, facing defense attorney Glen Woods and former prosecutor Kimya Holmes-Simmons, now with the Capital Defense Project of Southern Louisiana.
Some Municipal Court and Traffic Court judgeships are also on the New Orleans ballot as well as Second City Court clerk and constable posts.
There are also several appeals court judgeships on the ballot, covering various local parishes along with a Public Service Commission seat, covering several parishes.
In Jefferson Parish, only one candidate signed up in the race to replace Judge Patrick McCabe, who announced his retirement. Attorney Michael Mentz will be elected to the post since no one else qualified as of Friday evening.
On the north shore, Abita Springs voters will elect a new mayor, with two candidates signing up to run for the post held by Louis Fitzmorris, who was elected St. Tammany Parish assessor.

After suffering an injury in Game 7 of the Boston Bruins' first-round win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, Bruins defenseman Dennis Seidenberg didn't appear in the first four games of their series with the New York Rangers.
He returned to the lineup for Game 5, but now maybe he's wishing he waited a little longer:
That's 6'3, 226 lbs. Rangers winger Chris Kreider knocking him on his seat. Seidenberg was able to get up and continue his shift, but he was hunched over and suddenly not so eager to go back to the boards.

First, let us start with stating the obvious. Just about any contender would love to have Kevin Garnett. Most non-contenders would love to have him too, if only for the teaching and mentoring of younger players. So it shouldn't shock us if we hear that a lot of teams have called and kicked the tires on Kevin Garnett.
So it should come as no surprise that the Denver Nuggets are one of the teams interested. It is also unsurprising that that interest isn't shared by KG himself.
Kiszla: Nuggets' interest in Celtics' Kevin Garnett not reciprocal - The Denver Post
So what's the problem with pushing the idea of a blockbuster trade between Denver and Boston? Wielding the hammer of a no-trade clause, K.G. wants nothing to do with the Nuggets.
Through his representatives, Garnett has let it be known he has no current interest in the Nuggets.
That would appear to slam the door shut on any further discussion. Except you never know. Things change sometimes. Just like they did back in 2007. (h/t Matt Moore)
Garnett Says "No Thanks Boston" - CelticsBlog
Garnett's agent, Andy Miller, told ESPN.com's Chris Sheridan that Garnett made it known to the Wolves and Celtics late Wednesday that he had no interest in playing for Boston. The implication was clear: If Minnesota dealt him to Boston, Garnett would opt out of his contract next summer.
The situations are drastically different, but it just goes to show you that these things are never as black and white as they are portrayed by some.
Garnett himself left the door cracked open yesterday. (via CelticsHub)
I bleed green, I die green, that's what it is, but it is a business though, and when it crossed paths with it, I'll deal with it.
The implication seems clear. He's 100% for sticking with the Celtics. But if the Celtics decide to blow up the roster, then he'll have to deal with that.
And at least until Feb. 21st, we'll have to deal with these rumors.

Three Dolphins Earn All-Conference Honors

Brandao notched his first Dolphin goal in the 2-0 win over USC Upstate on Oct. 17 and went on to earn Atlantic Sun Player of the Week honors for recording a goal and two assists in matches against USC Upstate and ETSU. He has recorded a goal and three assists on the season.
Recently placed on the Academic All-Conference team, Saroli continues his meritorious season with these honors. In just 11 matches played, he is tied for seventh in the conference in points with 10. Coming up big down the stretch, three of his four goals have occurred in A-Sun play.
Starting in all 17 regular season games for the Fins, midfielder Jack Burns has led a great freshman campaign. He is tied for third on the team in points (8) with two goals and four assists. Notching his first career game winner over Davidson, he scored on a header in the 106th minute of double overtime for the 2-1 JU victory. Burns also assisted in keeping JU's tournament hopes alive when he found Shenaldo Parkes for an assist that allowed JU to tie against Stetson in the last match of the season.
Earning the sixth seed in the conference, Jacksonville finished the 2013 regular season with a 4-10-3 overall record and a 2-4-2 record in the A-Sun. The Fins will play No. 3 Lipscomb in the first round of the A-Sun Tournament on Wednesday, Oct. 13 in Fort Myers at 4 p.m.
