After many months of work, I am happy to announce our playroom is finally finished. Let's take a look at where we came from: the dated, dingy unused upstairs bedroom that nobody spent any time in.
It needed major brightening. When I was hunting around for the before pics for this post, I realize they were taken in AUGUST. Wow, this transformation has taken quite a long time. Such is life with a toddler (or ridiculous self-imposed gift-making challenges).
First things first, that blue shag carpet had to go. To replace it, I found three by three foot carpet tiles at a home discount store for a grand total of $233 and installed them myself.
I wanted the new space to be colorful, but the walls and floor needed to remain neutral so the space could function as a kid or adult bedroom in the coming years if necessary (without repainting). That said, all of the color had to come in through artwork and toys.
This second-floor room gets a fair amount of natural light, and I envisioned creating a bright white airy space. I painted the panelled walls Delicate White by Olympic in eggshell and used the same shade for the moulding and doors in semi-gloss.
This room is equal parts new, repurposed and handmade. In the new column, we have the carpet, the couch and a handful of smaller items. I was able to repurpose many items we already owned, like the former TV stand that is now toy storage, the play table and the vintage strawberry toy box (mine when I was a kid!), and I made most of the artwork myself.
Based on my choice of the beige/golden carpet, I derived a bit of color inspiration from this print I bought for Elise shortly after she was born. Her bedroom doesn't have a lot of pink. When I was designing her nursery, I didn't want to fall into the pink PINK pink.
But as time progressed, I began to think that the exclusion of pink was probably just as unhealthy as the overload of pink. Thus the pinkish color scheme was hatched with the addition of red to temper it a little.
Beyond the carpet and the couch, this room didn't cost much at all. I wasn't really trying to meet any sort of budget, but as always I tried to keep purchases cheap and to a minimum. Excluding the carpet ($233) and the couch ($425), all the extras cost around $250 total. That includes new window shades, the top-of-the-stairs metal baby gate, all the artwork and paint. Not too bad.
I am totally in love with this room. It's so happy! Kid rooms are so much fun to do.
You can read all about the progress of the playroom here. I'll have posts about some of the artwork and details in the next week or two (or three), but if there's something specific you want to know about, please let me know in the comments.

Look! There's more!
I love it!!! I may have a piece of art that you'd like!
I love your play room! It's so fun and sweet! I just love all the cool things you have on the walls When we have kids and our own house one day I would love to do something like this!
Its awesome. I really love how the banner? really adds a punch of color. Looks good on your blog banner as well!
Thanks for the nice comments, everyone!
Can you tell me where the couch is from? I really love it!
I just clicked over to another post and saw you found it on overstock.com. Beautiful room!!
Ok…now I am a little couch obsessed! Do you remember the brand or style name? I am just wondering it may be available elsewhere.
Hi Kelsea, it's the Charcoal Brooks Sofa but it appears to be sold out on overstock.com. I have seen products become available again on overstock, so maybe just wait it out if it's really something you want.
As the reviews state, it is very firm, but I find it comfortable and am happy with the purchase.
Where did you get the Strawberry toy chest/bin? I had one like that as a kid and I just got a huge memory flash back!
Hi Andrea, the strawberry was mine when I was a kid. My grandma held onto it and I was so thankful she did! My brother and I would take turns hiding in it and then pop out the top!
Thanks Erin, I guess I'll have a new quest to find one on ebay :).
Love the banner/garland, can you tell what it's made from or how you did it. It adds a great punch of color. Cheers
Hi Courtana,
Here's a post about the garland.
Love the room can you tell me where you got the signs I like you, your silly?
Hi Tracy,
Thanks! I painted the I like you signs myself. It's pretty easy to do, if you want to give it a shot.
I created a free printable based on them too.
Did you make the little wooden barn that is attached to the wall (holding the miniature animals?) I love it and would love to see a post about making it.
Sorry, I did not make it. It was a lucky $3 thrift find, probably originally intended for country knick knacks. I see this sort of thing a lot, but haven't come across any other barns. Maybe keep a lookout for something like it?

Microsoft Excel is the spreadsheet application within Microsoft Office.
Remote exploitation of a memory corruption vulnerability in Microsoft Corp.'s Excel could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user. The vulnerability occurs when Excel parses a specially crafted SXLI record in an Excel file. This record is used to specify pivot table information for a chart. When parsing a specific field, certain invalid values can trigger a memory corruption vulnerability. This can result in the execution of arbitrary code.
Exploitation of this vulnerability results in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user opening the file. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs to convince a user to open a malicious file. Attackers typically accomplish this by e-mailing a targeted user the file or hosting the file on a Web page. Exploitation of this vulnerability is relatively complex.
The following Microsoft products are vulnerable:
The vulnerability occurs in the core parsing code of Excel and this code cannot be disabled; however, it is possible to disable the opening of the older binary format files and use MOICE to convert the file to the newer XML-based format. Information about these workarounds is available in the Microsoft bulletin below.
Microsoft Corp. has addressed this vulnerability with the release of updates to Excel. More information can be found at the following URL:
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CVE-2012-0184 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org/), which standardizes names for security problems.

Southern Adams claims Rookie League title
The Southern Adams 8 and under baseball team broke out the heavy lumber Monday night in its 18-3 romp over Ponderosa in the championship game of the Portland Rookie League tournament in Portland.
The Southern Adams defense held Ponderosa in check during the first inning, then when the Stars took to offense they pasted the maximum seven runs on the board. The Stars added four runs in the second, five in the third, and two in the fourth – ending the game on an RBI single by Jack Wallace.
Eight Stars collected three hits, including Tim Hanna, Adam Besser, Cameron Pogue, Collin Shaffer, Zaderick Fosnaugh, Aaron Timmons, Drew Yoder and Wallace. Devon Minnich, Zach Kilsby and...

obviously it's already in my signature but i'll repost it here:
"Do not hanker for fame. Do not make plans. Do not try to do things. Do not try to master knowledge. Hold what is but do not hold it to be anything. Work with all that comes from heaven, but do not seek to hold it. Just be empty. The perfect man's heart is like a mirror. It does not search after things. It does not look for things. It does not seek knowledge, just responds. As a result he can handle everything and is not harmed by anything." -Chuang Tzu
so this is a taoist quote. the idea is found in zen and probably other traditions as well. does it fit in theravada or not? does the advice to bahiya sound like this?:
"Then, Bāhiya, you should train yourself thus: In reference to the seen, there will be only the seen. In reference to the heard, only the heard. In reference to the sensed, only the sensed. In reference to the cognized, only the cognized. That is how you should train yourself. When for you there will be only the seen in reference to the seen, only the heard in reference to the heard, only the sensed in reference to the sensed, only the cognized in reference to the cognized, then, Bāhiya, there is no you in connection with that. When there is no you in connection with that, there is no you there. When there is no you there, you are neither here nor yonder nor between the two. This, just this, is the end of stress."
-Ud 1.10
"Bāhiya Sutta: Bāhiya" (Ud 1.10), translated from the Pali by Thanissaro Bhikkhu. Access to Insight, 3 September 2012, http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/kn/ud/ud.1.10.than.html. Retrieved on 28 January 2013.
that leads to an even more intriguing question: was lao tzu a paccekabuddha ? i have found other quotes that could fall right in with the pali canon in the chuang tzu. i'll post them tonight.

Once the winter storm moved through the area, it became a great day for some fun in the snow, and the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation provided free activities for residents. NY1's Bree Driscoll filed the following report.
Eight-year-old James Lederer-Michaels choose to spend his Saturday in the snow building an igloo. "At first, it started out as a giant mountain of snow," he said. "Then, we just made a giant hole, and then, we just made some walls, and tons of other kids helped us."
James is just one of hundreds of kids who came out to Riverside Park to play in the snow.Some had snow fights. Others went sledding.
"The bad part is that you always have to walk up the hill, and it's really tiring," said one park-goer. "But the good part is, you can zoom down. There's bumps and stuff."
Many parents looked on and tried to keep warm, some with more creative ways than others.
The Department of Parks and Recreation also provided free hot chocolate as an alternate method of warming up.
Parks Commissioner Veronica White said there was very little damage in the parks from the storm, and whatever branches did break were cleaned up quickly.
"It is a great day for the parks," White said. "The entire recreation staff is out. Parks across the five boroughs having fun and bringing our sleds out, and getting people to exercise and be fit. So it's really a terrific day." Kids are going have to take advantage of this snow while they can. With temperatures expected to reach the 40s on Monday and Tuesday, it's not going to last very long.

For the past 3 months I've explored, enjoyed and been successful with a butter toffee. Where I consistently have issues is the chocolate layer shearing from the toffee during the breaking up of toffee stage.
Let's explore what's been done..
I'm good at troubleshooting, I've got an engineering background so walking through steps and analyzing the situation runs in my blood but this.. this is head to wall bashing frustrating.
If you make toffee professionally what step am I missing? I have my toffee down to a rhythm, no separation, beautiful quality, flavor, color--but this lack of chocolate adhesion drives me nuts. I'm about to just start scoring and breaking then enrobing squares but that makes the time of prep go up which I'd rather not do on most of the line I'm working on.
I feel there is a tip or trick I've not been privy to--that eludes me--driving me up a wall heheh!
Views: 2273
As a friend in the business once told me, "Welcome to toffee Hell". If you think about it, tempered chocolate releases from a smooth surface, i.e. molds. We want it to release from molds, but not from smooth toffee. I finally decided to place callets on very warm surface and not touch until about 90F. I put on a clean glove and smear. I want it out of temper. I then top with fairly fine almonds. This is to hide any bloom. I have very little if any lifting. I have heard of sprinkling with flour to absorb any oil, but I don't have an oil problem and don't want the gluten in it. I have also heard of dusting with cocoa powder to absorb any oil. Also, I use dark chocolate only on toffee-just personal preference.
As to the blooming after a few days, I had the opportunity last week of taking a class from Chef Greweling and Mark Heim of Hershey. I didn't catch the whole discussion, but it had something to do with leaving the finished product in an 86 degree room for a time and it prevented or made the bloom go away. Wish I would have taken better notes! I think Mark hangs out here on occasion. He would have a great answer for you. Mark?
Oh Ruth don't tell me that.. LoL! I was betting with my wife that anyone who used chopped/ground nuts were covering bloom.
I agree totally on your observation. This isn't a marriage made in heaven, a minutely slippery surface with a material that likes to shrink when cold, release well when tempered, and isn't that porous.
Right now I love a 60% chocolate sea salt but it's a rather naked product so you see a bloom happen. Someone said they liked how it looked, like we did it on purpose. Heh, that gave me a giggle.
I do a white chocolate honey toffee and I have a consistent <= 1% shearing of the white chocolate but since we know its composition is so much more--buttery and the honey is just a little more tacky I can't use it in comparison.
I've been real watchful of toffees since trying to solve this, there's got to be a knack for getting some greater consistency. I have 9# of toffee to make by the weekend so I'll attempt the cocoa idea and see if anyone else has some thoughts.
You could always use a little white with the dark and swirl it. Any bloom would look like you meant it:-) BTW I use a 61% and sprinkle with Fleur de Sel, then the nuts.
Ok, I've made about 20# since I wrote this and trialled out quite a few variants mentioned by Ruth. I found a little cocoa powder is helpful--enough to soak up whatever butter/oil wasn't able to be easily wiped off. However, too much increases sharding, so much so I was nearly infuriated with a batch. I ended up stripping it and redoing it as wafers.
Next I found probably the best method outside hand dipping and that was to ladle on your chocolate, add your inclusion, and right before its fully set, break it then. The layer touching the toffee is still unset, so it pulls a bit gooey but it will not separate at this stage.
I have mixed feeling about this method. It works, sure that's good. But it means I can't just batch process a lot and break later. It also means you can use tempered chocolate pretty safely.
Still holding out for a magic method.
What is the temperature of the Toffee before it gets enrobed?
We were making chewy toffee disks and had plenty of problems during manufacturing, and I know from experience that toffee needs to be treated in it's own way.
Can you describe the process flow, times from the manufacturing of the toffee up to the enrobing stage?
Regards, Arthur
Arthur, I kind of describe the steps in the beginning of this thread. The main two ways I deal with post-toffee creation is to either let it come down to room temp on speed racks or after scoring I'll chill it, then let return it to a rack to regain room temp.
It really depends on how fast we need the material ready that day. I've never just chilled and enrobed it, that seems counterintuitive.
Hi, I'm a new member but fully understand the frustrations of all of you. I have found that I have the least shearing when I let the toffee air dry a bit so the surface isn't as slippery.
The most shearing I ever had was when I made the toffee, scored the toffee, and dipped the pieces as soon as they were at room temp. I had someone to help me for a short period of time and couldn't wait. The chocolate slid right off a lot of pieces when I broke them into smaller pieces for packing,
I make the toffee early in the a.m. and and let the pieces air dry on sheet pans on a rack. In the afternoon I dip the pieces in tempered chocolate and lay them on a sheet tray covered with nuts. My husband or friend then drops nuts on the top of the pieces, and then I put the tray in a cooling cabinet. This way I don't get a lot of chocolate in the nuts. I know it's more time consuming to dip the pieces, but it's not as if the surface has to be perfect because of the nuts. I then break the pieces in 1/4s for packing.
I do not make toffee on a rainy or very humid day. Anne Bennett
Welcome Anne and thanks for your own insights. I never thought I could be frustrated by one thing so much. I'm nearing the point where if I want to do it with utmost consistency I need it scored, broken/cut and then just toss it on our enrober when we do those production runs.
If I ever find something that works time and time again I'll definitely share it.
Wow Tim. That is so counterintuitive I have to try it. Thanks for your input and story. :D
Did you really mean below 25 degrees or is that a typo? That's below freezing. Do you coat just one side or flip your sheet over to coat the other side?
I'm just curious. My toffee seems to last longer when it's totally enrobed in chocolate.
Anne Bennett
If Tim is talking Celcius it's be about 76'F which is still rather warm for my liking it's more what I was considering his temp.
Double side coating is always something we've thought of but I've never liked the result. Maybe if you have a thick toffee then two sides is good, if you have a near paper thin toffee (ours is about 1/8th of an inch) then the toffee itself will get lost with that much chocolate. However you are right your shelf life will be extended due to the oxygen barrier that a full enrobing would do. I think we get about a month or so while exposed.
Then of course you have costs to juggle depending on where/who you are sourcing from. So many variables..

- Michaelis Komplex (1) (remove)
- Investigations on the Reaction Mechanism of Xenobiotic Reductase A (2010)
- Xenobiotic reductase A (XenA) from Pseudomonas putida 86 is a member of the Old Yellow Enzyme family of FMN containing enzymes. It catalyzes the NADH/NADPH dependent reduction of various substrates, including 2-cyclohexenone, coumarin, 7- and 8-hydroxycoumarin in a two-step mechanism consisting of a reductive and an oxidative half-reaction. The overall structure of the family members is similar but the active site residues show considerable variations. One distinct difference of XenA compared to other members is the presence of a cysteine residue (Cys25) in the active site, where most other members have a threonine. Further, the active site of XenA is lined up by two tyrosine (Tyr27 and Tyr183) and two tryptophan (Trp302 and Trp358) residues. To get a better understanding of the reaction mechanism of XenA we analyzed the enzyme using a combination of transient and steady-state kinetics, redox potentiometry and crystal structure analysis. Thermodynamic and kinetic investigations revealed a preference of XenA for NADPH over NADH. Furthermore, the reaction catalyzed by XenA follows a ping-pong mechanism in which both substrates are bound to the same position in the active site but interact with different amino acids. The crystal structures of XenA without and with coumarin bound to the active site were solved at true atomic resolution. The oxidized complex with coumarin showed a compressed active site geometry in which the isoalloxazine ring of FMN is sandwiched between coumarin and the protein backbone. The crystal structure of reduced XenA showed a distortion of the isoalloxazine ring and the movement of Trp302 into the active site. Furthermore, we analyzed the individual contributions of the five active site residues using site-directed mutagenesis. An exchange of Cys25 against serine shifted the reduction potential of the FMN/FMNH- couple by 82 mV, increased the limiting rate constant of the reductive and decreased the limiting rate constant of the oxidative half-reaction. Therefore we conclude that Cys25 modulates substrate binding and the reduction potential of FMN. Moreover, we revealed that Tyr27 contributes to the stabilization of the transition state during the reductive half-reaction by an interaction of its hydroxyl group with the transferred hydride ion. The exchange of Tyr183 resulted in a decreased affinity of XenA for NADPH and a considerable decrease of the rate of the oxidative half-reaction. These results are in agreement with its function as indispensable proton donor in the oxidative half-reaction. Exchanging Trp302 resulted in multiphasic kinetics for both half-reactions and a decreased affinity of XenA for NADPH. In combination with its movement between the reduced and oxidized state of XenA, we propose a redox dependent shaping of the active site by Trp302. Hence, this residue is responsible for the correct positioning of the substrates in both half-reactions, which is an essential part in the reaction mechanism. The results from the exchange of Trp358 indicated that this residue is involved in the orientation of the nicotinamide ring of NAD(P)H by spatial exclusion. Crystal structures of enzyme substrate complexes are usually determined from non-reactive states. The Y183F variant of XenA, lacking the proton donor of the oxidative half-reaction, allowed us to freeze-trap the true Michaelis complexes of reduced XenA in complex with four different substrates. For the first time we were able to observe 2-cyclohexenone in an active site. Finally, we prove that mode of substrate binding of XenA is redox dependent. In summary our results provide a more detailed description of the reaction mechanism of XenA and offer new insights on how substrates interact with flavoenzymes.

I've always been fortunate and humbled to have some of Detroit's finest musicians in my bands, and my latest ensemble continues that trend.
This versatile and talented group of cats bring a diversity of experience and musical sensibilities to the table.
They deserve a special shout out.
Let's start with the quarterback. Weighing in on 4-string and 5-string vintage axes, groove monster Chris Spooner plays some mean, pocket heavy bass guitar. Spoon has been laying down the bottom in a number of Motor City soul, funk, blues and rock bands like YOU, Detroit City Council, The Saints of Soul, and Detroit's Mayor of the Blues, Paul Miles.
Spoon says his favorite bass player is drummer Steve Ferrone (Average White Band, Duran Duran, Chaka Khan), and he is a loving husband and father of two beautiful daughters.
Tate McBroom is best known around these parts as the drummer and leader of The Gorilla Funk Mob, THE go-to backing band for Michigan's best hip hop artists. The Mob has supported a who's who of Detroit hip hop and soul artists – Slum Village, Athletic Mic League, Invincible, One Be Lo, Finale, Monica Blaire and jazz great Allan Barnes, just to name a few.

Find out about exhibitions, activities, tours and talks at Birmingham Museums
Aston Hall, Blakesley Hall and Soho House provide a choice of spectacular and elegant locations for your dream wedding.
7th October 2009
The public response to the Staffordshire Hoard has been unprecedented.
There has been a huge demand to view the Staffordshire Hoard artefacts on display at Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery. This is a rare opportunity to glimpse this historic treasure literally fresh out of the ground from where it was found. The display of around 100 objects from the hoard of 1600 items has been achieved in weeks rather than months or years.
It has proved so popular that the queuing time can be around 2 or more hours - especially at busy times when it can be more than 3 hours.
We are doing our best to keep the queues moving and appreciate the patience of visitors.
We recommend that you allow plenty of time to queue and see the exhibition. It is also a good idea to wear appropriate clothing for the weather as the queue may stretch outside and bring refreshments and entertainment for any small children also.
We also recommend if you can visit we are open each morning from 9am except Sunday 11th Oct when we open at 11am.
You could also visit on Saturday 10th October when we are open from 9am until 11pm and at the same time experience our Light Night event with late-night cultural entertainment, light installations and a performance of nutkhut's Bolly Wood Steps by Simmy Gupta - an extravaganza of dance, music, light, water and fireworks.
Mon 12th and Tues 13th the final two days the museum is open 9am until 9pm

P. 16(b) scheduling and planning conference on July 2, 2013, at 9:45 a.m. (Mountain Time). The conference shall be held in Courtroom C-201, Second Floor, of the Byron Rogers U.S. Courthouse, 1929 Stout Street, Denver, Colorado. If this date is not convenient for any party1, he or she shall file a motion to reschedule the conference to a more convenient time. Please 1 The term "party" as used in this Order means counsel for any party represented by a lawyer, and any pro se party not represented by a lawyer. remember that anyone seeking entry into the Byron Rogers United States Courthouse will be required to show valid photo identification. See D.C.COLO.LCivR 83.2B. A copy of instructions for the preparation of a scheduling order and a form scheduling order can be downloaded from the Court's website at www.co.uscourts.gov/forms-frame.htm (Click on "Civil Forms" in the blue box at the top of the screen and scroll down to the bold heading "Standardized Order Forms"). Parties shall prepare the proposed scheduling order in accordance with the Court's form. The parties shall submit their proposed scheduling order, pursuant to District of Colorado Electronic Case Filing ("ECF") Procedures V.5.12., on or before: 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Time) on June 25, 2013. Attorneys and/or pro se parties not participating in ECF shall submit their proposed scheduling order on paper to the Clerk's Office. However, if any party in the case is participating in ECF, it is the responsibility of that party to submit the proposed scheduling order pursuant to the District of Colorado ECF Procedures. The plaintiff shall notify all parties who have not yet entered an appearance of the date and time of the scheduling/planning conference, and shall provide a copy of this Order to those parties. (2) In preparation for the scheduling/planning conference, the parties are directed to confer in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f), on or before: June 11, 2013. The court strongly encourages the parties to meet face to face, but should that prove impossible, the parties may meet by telephone conference. All parties are jointly responsible for arranging and attending the Rule 26(f) meeting. During the Rule 26(f) meeting, the parties shall discuss the nature and basis of their claims and defenses and the possibilities for a prompt settlement or resolution of the case, make or arrange for the disclosures required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1), and develop their proposed scheduling/discovery plan. The parties should also discuss the possibility of informal discovery, such as conducting joint interviews with potential witnesses, joint meetings with clients, depositions via telephone, or exchanging documents outside of formal discovery. 2 In those cases in which: (i) the parties' substantive allegations involve extensive computer-generated records; (ii) a substantial amount of disclosure or discovery will involve information or records in electronic form (i.e., e-mail, word processing, databases); (iii) expert witnesses will develop testimony based in large part on computer data and/or modeling; or (iv) any party plans to present a substantial amount of evidence in digital form at trial, the parties shall confer regarding steps they can take to preserve computer records and data, facilitate computer-based discovery and who will pay costs, resolve privilege issues, limit discovery costs and delay, and avoid discovery disputes relating to electronic discovery. The parties shall be prepared to discuss these issues, as appropriate, in the proposed Scheduling Order and at the scheduling and planning conference. These are the minimum requirements for the Rule 26(f) meeting. The parties are encouraged to have a comprehensive discussion and are required to approach the meeting cooperatively and in good faith. The parties are reminded that the purpose of the Rule 26(f) meeting is to expedite the disposition of the action, discourage wasteful pretrial activities, and improve the quality of any eventual trial through more thorough preparation. The discussion of claims and defenses shall be a substantive, meaningful discussion. The parties are reminded that pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(d), no discovery shall be sought prior to the Rule 26(f) meeting. (3) The parties shall comply with the mandatory disclosure requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1) on or before: June 25, 2013. Counsel and parties are reminded that mandatory disclosure requirements encompass computerbased evidence which may be used to support claims or defenses. Mandatory disclosures must be supplemented by the parties consistent with the requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(e). Mandatory disclosures and supplementation are not to be filed with the Clerk of the Court. (4) All parties are expected to be familiar with the United States District Court for the District of Colorado Local Rules of Practice (D.C.COLO.LCivR.). Copies are available from Office of the Clerk, United States District Court for the District of Colorado, or through the District Court's web site: www.cod.uscourts.gov. 3 All out-of-state counsel shall comply with D.C.COLO.LCivR. 83.3 prior to the Scheduling/Planning Conference.

Alaska Airlines Cup - General Information
The Alaska Airlines Cup is the largest youth soccer tournament in Alaska. It is an international youth soccer tournament, with over 2,000 players in age divisions from U10-U23. The tournament invites teams from all over the state of Alaska, Canada, and the U.S. to kick off the summer soccer season. We hope you will include the Alaska Airlines Cup, in the beautiful city of Anchorage, Alaska, in your summer soccer plans!
Formally known as the Ina K Memorial Cup, the "Ina K" was named in memoriam of Ina Kristiansen, a beloved Alaskan soccer player, who passed away in the early 90's. After almost 20 years of holding the tournament in memory of their daughter, Ina's parents have asked that the tournament be renamed, but that the spirit of their daughter's love and passion for soccer continue to be honored through the Ina K Medals. These medals are awarded at the conclusion of the tournament to one player on each team who exemplifies the spirit with which Ina played the game. The Alaska Rush is excited to partner with Alaska Airlines as the title sponsor of this tournament and would like to thank Alaska Airlines for their generous support of Alaska youth soccer.
