Reflexology as a Holistic Healing Practice
In addition, the reasons for reflexology us. We tend to live in our heads and not in our bodies and our feet, figuratively, not on the ground. Yet we can not feel safe unless we are strong and well connected to land. Reflexology restores our connection to the earth by the feet of vitality and our awareness of them.
Reflexology is a holistic practice in that it affects us at all levels, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. The feet are simply powers. They were regarded reverentially over a long period. For example, Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, people are elected on their feet; disciples kiss the feet of their gurus. Indeed, if the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the feet are a reflection (read: thinking) thereof. Energy blockages on the feet tend to show that emotions are not released. Feet tend to reveal the issues that our higher self or spirit operates through, allowing a mere spiritual and psychological evaluation. Indeed, reflexologists work on our soles.

POWHATAN COUNTY, Va. — Powhatan County deputies are searching for a man they say just walked into homes in broad daylight to steal prescription meds and money in Powhatan.
Officials said the crimes happened four times between Sunday and Monday and in all but one case, people were home when investigators said the male suspect just opened their doors and barged in looking for money and drugs to steal.
Three cases happened Sunday between 10 and 11 a.m. in the 2200 and 2300 blocks of Anderson Highway.
Additionally, one other case happened Monday around 6 a.m. in the Chestnut Oaks subdivision.
The sheriff's department said that in some instances adults saw the man walk in. However, in one case the adults were asleep and a child saw the suspect enter their home. In another case, no one was there.
But in all four instances residents had left the doors unlocked in the morning and the suspect simply walked in.
The suspect is described as a while male in his 20s around six feet tall. He was last seen driving a white Ford Explorer or a similar type of vehicle.
If you have information that could help investigators, call 804-598-5656.

Turkey spared the hatchet in radio promo
There is a very lucky turkey who has taken up residence at Nettle Meadow Farm in Thurman after facing the axe just days before Thanksgiving. In a promotional stunt for 100.3 The Point, Whitefield's Free Range Farm and Nettle Meadow Goat Farm and Sanctuary collaborated on saving the life of a turkey. His name is Paul McTurkey and he will be joining Stevie Nicks as a sanctuary animal at Nettle Meadow. Thurman Station Association and Perky Granger's Fiction Among Friends have each donated a bag of cracked corn to feed Mr. McTurkey.
The radio station was trying to achieve the goal of getting 3,000 "likes" on Facebook by Thanksgiving, and it appears they did just that. Paul has settled in well at the goat farm and we hear he has hit it off famously with Stevie Nicks!

Kaboul, so impressive last season, has not featured for Tottenham since the opening game of the current campaign after suffering a serious knee injury which required surgery, but he recently returned to training and may yet play a role in the club's run-in as they pursue a top-four finish.

I've been meaning to post about this for longer than you need to know!! I have put together a tutorial to make one of these obis. You need to find 3 co-ordinating fabrics (Fabric A plain and the Fabrics B & C with a print/pattern). Fabric D is for the backing and the feature strip around the centre, so choose something plain that will fray well (more on that later!)
The finished size for this pattern is 90cm. You might want to measure around your waist and extend or reduce it to fit. You want the obi to overlap very slightly (say 2cm) at the back. If you do need to extend or reduce the length, add/subtract the amount required to/from both fabrics 1A and 1B making sure they are both still 10cm wide.
Cut Seven pieces of fabric is per diagram. You will also require 2 pieces of sturdy ribbon (ie grosgrain) approx 2cm wide and 25cm longer than the size of your waist. These ribbons don't need to be the same colour, but should be the same fabric.
The seam allowance in this tutorial is 1cm.
With the right sides together sew 1A to 1B and 2B to 2A making sure that you swap around the order of the fabrics so fabric A is on top in one and Fabric B is one top on the other.
Again with the right sides together sew Pieces 1, 2 and 3 together.
Turn it over and place the Fabric strip (Piece 5) on the right side of the obi along the horizontal seam. Sew Fabric strip on leaving a 1cm allowance on each side. Pull out a few strands of the fabric to make it fray.
With the right sides together, pin the backing piece 4 to the obi. Stitch along the top and the bottom leaving the ends open. Once sewn, turn right side out.
Turn the ends in by 1cm and place the ribbons (one at each end) at the top of the obi and pin the ends together. Sew using the machine, or handstitch with invisible thread. Turn the ends of the ribbons over twice at the ends and hem them to stop fraying. Done!
Of course, if you don't have the patience to get the fabric, cut it up and sew it all together, you could hop over to my shop and buy one of them already made up!! In two different sizes and all completely different designs, you will be sure to have a one and only!

Slipstream Sports was founded in Boulder, Colorado by former Tour de France rider Jonathan Vaughters in 2003 as a development team for young U.S. riders. In 2007, Vaughters brought in additional funding that allowed him to realize his longer-term goal of turning his team into a Tour de France contender that would reach the top of its sport through clean and ethical performance.
With GPS-maker Garmin backing the squad, in 2008 Vaughters hired riders such as British National champion and multiple Tour de France stage winner and Yellow Jersey wearer David Millar and U.S. National Champion and Tour of Spain, Italy, and France stage winner David Zabriskie. In the 2008 Tour de France, Garmin-Slipstream took fourth place overall with team member Christian Vande Velde. The team continued its success in the 2009 Tour de France with British Olympic Champion Bradley Wiggins taking 4th place, and in 2010 with Canadian Ryder Hesdejal placing 7th.
In 2011 the team won four stages of the Tour de France, wore the Yellow Jersey for seven days and also won the Tour team prize. Maintaining the team's record of consecutive top-10 Tour de France general classification placings, Colorado rider Tom Danielson placed 9th overall. In 2011 the team also won Paris-Roubaix.
In 2012, new sponsor Barracuda Networks came on board and the team's name became Garmin-Barracuda.

WHAT'S NEXT in the LAYERING PROCESS
These are both backgrounds for my independent layering technique. They are both painted after I have my drawing all planned and outline of the image drawn on tracing paper.
The top one is planned in the sense that I knew beforehand where I wanted some of the colors so my center of interest would be emphasized. Then I just let the colors blend together not too concerned if they were exactly in the right spot. I was trusting the process.
The second painting is a photo of the process showing layer 1 and layer 2. It was more controlled and painted with line drawing placed under the yupo. Some of the flow of colors were allowed but the figures were more carefully painted.
I do like the second one best. I did take my time and the results are very pleasing to me. There was not as much acrylic to remove because my white areas were preserved but it did take time with the rubbing alcohol to bring out the figures from the background area.
I didn't take a picture of the background before defining the white areas...too excited to start removing color which seems to be my favorite part of this whole process.

Drawing: My First Love
I planned for the drawings to fit in an 8x10 inside matte dimension with the frame being standard 11x14. This made it easier to frame. I was very happy with the trip and the drawings.

Colorado Memories
It is painted using Independent Layering technique that I have been working on. It proves to be a technique that I will also enjoy for a long time. Yupo is the best surface to paint on. I could not have said that years ago when I first tried Yupo but I have figured out a way to paint on a slick surface that is fun to say the least.

Yes You Can!!!
It was a labor of love... a bit stressful at times but a good learning experience for me. The painting chosen for the book was suppose to be simple enough to show the steps using the Independent Layering technique so I could documented the steps for you to follow. I tried to include all the information, what I was thinking and how I worked through the steps for each layer in a 24 page book. Blurb.com is the program I used, they do all the printing and all the handling of details.
I really hope you enjoy using the painting process that has been a fun way to develop a painting.
Send questions to this blog and I will try to answer them in hopes of continuing to learn from each other.
Enjoy painting!

This is one of my first watercolors on Yupo. Working on Yupo was not my favorite at first and if I was someone who gave up easy, I would not have tried it again. It was a frustrating surface to work on for me since I wanted to control the flow of the colors. That is not the approach you want to take with Yupo if you want to keep your stress level down. This is my beginning which lead me to the process that I enjoy working in today. I never thought it would be something I would be saying in my lifetime. I have learned to work with the slick surface. It has taught me a lot about myself and how to paint on any surface. Learning not to over paint or manipulate the paint too much is a good lesson no matter what surface you paint on. It keeps the paint fresh.
Since learning several techniques and continuing to use different surfaces to paint upon my art journey has brought me to a process I thoroughly enjoy. It is a combination of fluid acrylics and watercolors that I call Independent Layering technique. If you have been reading my blog you have heard about it before. This is my latest art work. What a difference from the first watercolor on Yupo !!!!

Sidewalk Cafe
When I took the photo of the painting I didn't realize that the translucent pigment would glisten from the light source. I try not to use a flash so this glare was from the sun and the angle of my camera. I will retake the photo so it doesn't show but it was interesting enough to take notice.
The original size of this painting was a bit wider but during critique it was brought up that the white area took away from the importance of why I chose to paint it. It was too big of an area of white and made the center of interest an area that wasn't interesting at all. I guess I have to agree that the focus changed when I cropped the left side. I also redid her facial features ... the face just wasn't right. That part seemed to take longer than the painting itself. I extended the window behind the tree limb so it didn't become a part of the tree anymore. I do think all the changes made it worth the effort. Critiques can be very helpful, their impartiality makes it easier for them to take away what doesn't work.

It is acrylic and watercolor layering just like all the other recent paintings. I am hooked. The way the sunlight glistened as it rolled back into the ocean was irresistible to paint. Painting on yupo makes it so easy to remove the color in the receding lines, no need to frisquet lines. No pre-planning of the white areas at all. I painted the background colors as close to the desired lighter colors as I could without being too rigid. I like when the colors bleed into each other which gives a surprise area or special coloring not obtained if I control its placement. Then I remove the white areas. Add the watercolor in the medium to dark spaces with a back and forth dance of color until I get it just right. The fun part is "there's no worries"...I wipe off or use a brush to sculp the watercolor areas to form shape to get the right color / the right shape and the background is undisturbed. I must admit there is a technique to it but truly its just painting as if you were adding colors to regular watercolor paper.
Letting go and just paint. It is so freeing! This must be why I like it so much.

Kindness Endures Forever
It was done in my independent layer technique but the real surprise happened when I began to put the colors in the taller giraffe's face. He seems very sure of himself and she is responding to it with support and comfort. Do animals think like that? I am not sure but that is my take on it. The original photo was just 2 giraffes at the fence waiting for some food from zoo visitors. Be open to what direction the paintings seems to be taking as you paint, it may lead you to a different place than you planned...so don't plan to the point of being rigid. Let go of your preconceived idea. I just love it when it all comes together.

Genting Falls After New York Project Talks Collapse
June 4 (Bloomberg) -- Genting Malaysia Bhd. dropped the most in almost four months in Kuala Lumpur trading after talks to build a $4 billion convention center next to its New York City casino fell through.
The stock declined 4.1 percent to close at 3.54 ringgit, its largest fall since Feb. 8. It was today's second-worst performer on the benchmark FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Index, which fell 1.2 percent. Its parent Genting Bhd. dropped 3 percent to 9.70 ringgit, the lowest close since Oct. 11.
Genting Malaysia wanted to build a 3.8 million-square-foot convention center at Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens where it opened Resorts World Casino New York City last year. Negotiations fell through after weeks of discussion, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said in an interview on the WOR-AM radio station on June 1. This follows a delay in the group's plan to build a $3 billion hotel and casino in Miami after a Florida House of Representatives committee postponed a vote on a bill to expand casino gambling.
"This news gave Genting Malaysia a double whammy, experiencing failure in two of the group's expansion plans in the U.S.," Low Yee Huap, an analyst at Hong Leong Financial Group Bhd., wrote in a report today. He kept his hold rating with a price estimate of 4.10 ringgit.
Conversations with Genting "haven't worked out," said Cuomo, who added that he's now discussing building a similar project with other companies. Genting may still bid on a convention center project in the city, said Stefan Friedman, a Genting spokesman.
Genting operates the only gaming resort on a hilltop in Muslim-majority Malaysia. Unable to open more casinos on home turf, it's been expanding abroad. The group is already the U.K.'s biggest casino-operator and opened one of two gambling resorts in Singapore in 2010.

A Regional Express (Rex) Saab 340 skidded off the runway yesterday while landing at Mount Gambier Airport after a flight from Adelaide.
None of the 31 passengers and three crew members on board were hurt in the incident, which happened at 08:10hr.
The Australian regional carrier says the aircraft had "landed normally" but "during the final stage of the landing roll the crew experienced a pull to the left and the aircraft came to a halt partially off the left side of the runway".
Local media reports say a wheel of the aircraft may have locked during the landing.
The aircraft was not damaged during the incident, and will be checked by Rex Engineering before being returned to service, says the airline.

Metulla, Israel. An Arab-Jewish hockey team has become an unlikely icebreaker in this remote corner of northern Israel, overcoming barriers of language, culture and conflict.
A few years ago, a mixed team in these parts was unthinkable. In the arid Middle East, hockey is virtually unheard of, and relations between Arabs and Jews in this combustible area, next to the tense borders of Lebanon and Syria, are generally chilly.
The Arab players on the Metulla junior ice hockey team, coming from the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights, technically aren't even Israeli. But thanks to an accidental combination of generous philanthropy, a local hockey enthusiast and a sports-mad Arab mayor, the mixed team of teens and preteens is thriving.
"When you play together, you forget that you are Arabs and Jews," said Mayyas Sabag, a 12-year-old forward from the Druse village of Majdal Shams. He is one of five Arab athletes on the 14-member team, which is traveling to Canada this month.
The team is the product of Metulla's Canada Center, a sprawling sports complex donated to this rural border town in the 1990s by Canadian Jews. The building houses Israel's only Olympic-size hockey rink.
And when the hockey players get skating, the only tension they feel is the thrill of competition.
"When I'm on the ice, I don't feel the ground underneath me," said Maya al-Yousef, a 13-year-old Druse Arab.
Yousef was among two dozen youths speeding, skidding and weaving on the ice during a recent practice session.
The two Arab girls and three boys on the team said they had never met Jews their age before playing ice hockey. Jews said the same about Arabs. The Arab youths have adopted a halting Hebrew from Jewish teammates.
Language aside, there are clear cultural gaps between the loud and mostly secular Jewish children and more conservative, polite Arab youths.
The coach, parents and sponsors all acknowledge the project is only a small step toward real peace in the region. And while many players said they were not necessarily close friends, they said the meetings had changed the way they view each other.
"In a short period of time we got to know each other," said Niv Weinberg, 14. "We aren't the only ones in living here [in Israel]. This country isn't ours alone."
Levav Weinberg, a 30-year-old Metulla apple farmer and hockey enthusiast, began the Canada-Israel Hockey School two years ago with funding from Jewish Canadian philanthropist Sydney Greenberg. He subsidized coaching, equipment, uniforms and rink time with the dream of bringing the popular winter sport to Israel.
To encourage enrollment, Weinberg talked up the project to a friend: Dolan Abu-Saleh, the mayor of Majdal Shams.
Majdal Shams village is nestled in the Golan Heights, a mountainous plateau Israel seized from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war. Although Israel later annexed the territory, the move was never internationally recognized, and unlike Israel's own Druse community, which serve in the military and are generally well integrated, Golan residents still consider themselves Syrian, or refer to themselves simply as Arabs or Druse.
Such barriers made little difference when 34-year-old Abu-Saleh promised parents a free bus to Metulla, 12 miles away, if their children took up the sport. Within weeks, 100 Arab youths turned up.
Weinberg faced a new challenge: getting Jewish youths involved. Their parents were reluctant to allow them to play with Arabs, he said.
Weinberg won parents over with $5 classes, overcoming concerns with an affordable way to keep children busy. More than 200 Jewish children have since signed up, in addition to about 120 Arabs.
The school keeps new Arab and Jewish students in different classes, seeking to build their confidence on ice before introducing them to one another. But when they are skilled enough to compete, the youths are placed on mixed Arab-Jewish teams.
"Then they understand: 'These are the team members I have — and [getting along] is the only way to win the game,' " Weinberg said.
Ice hockey in Israel is modest. There are about 6,000 players in Israel in three different age leagues, coach Ben Chernie said. But thanks to its rink and a large local population of immigrants from the former Soviet Union, Metulla has emerged as Israel's hockey capital.
The Metulla junior ice hockey team has trained together for more than one and a half years now. It is ranked No. 4 in Israel's Peewee league.
Their patron, Greenberg, is hoping to improve their rank — and love of the sport — by flying them to Canada for a 10-day ice hockey tour.
During training on the rink this week, Sabag and his Israeli teammate, 14-year-old Lidor Bez, buzzed around Weinberg on the ice, demanding to be partners during the Canada trip.
"He's a friend of mine — a good friend," Bez said.
"We aren't going to let each other fail. Even if he is from Syria, and I am from Israel."

Game Notes: Calgary 2, Blues 1 (O/T) -- Still Struggling to Score
Categories: Blues
As for the rest of the team, I'm going to have to hold off on the kudos until they actually start scoring some frigging goals. Especially at home, where they've lost seven out of eight. At the beginning of the season, looking at the schedule, I thought the Blues might have a chance to get off to a fast start, given such a large percentage of their games were in the Lou to begin with. Turns out it may have been the worst thing that could have happened to them, because they apparently just can't score at home.
-- It was nice to see T.J. Oshie back out on the ice as he returns from his recent appendectomy, but to me he looked a step off his normal pace. Not all that surprising, of course, but I do wonder if it wouldn't have been prudent to give Oshie another game or two off. Then again, he's missed four games already, so extra rest may not have helped. Maybe he's just going to need a couple games on the ice to get back up to full speed. And really, he didn't play badly, by any means; it just looked as if he were a little behind where he would normally be.
-- What is encouraging about the Blues' offense, despite the lack of scoring, was the number of shots they took. The Blues took more than 30 shots for the third game in a row, so at least it isn't as if they lack for chances. They were active in front of the net and not at all shy about pulling the trigger, so I'm encouraged by that. If they can keep putting shots on goal the way they did last night, this offensive funk won't last.
In that same vein, I have absolutely no idea how Miikka Kiprusoff, the Flames' goalie, stopped Brad Boyes' shot early in the first period. Boyes took a point-blank shot on a quick pass from Brad Winchester in the corner. It was a perfect, textbook example of how to properly execute a one-timer, yet somehow Kiprusoff made the stop. It seemed a bit allegorical, to be honest, representative of a season in which the Blues seem to be doing all the things they should be, yet finding little in the way of success to show for it.
-- After a couple of rough outings, Chris Mason had a solid game last night as well. He stopped 29 of 31 shots, and the only two goals he allowed were both heavily traffic-assisted. The overtime goal in particular, scored by Diom Phaneuf, tipped off either the skate or the shinguard of Oshie on its way to the goal.
-- Honestly, last night's game may have been the most evenly matched of any I've seen this season. What it really came down to was one stat: Mason stopped 29 of 31 shots, Kiprusoff stopped 30 of 31. The teams seemed to be exactly even; if Kiprusoff doesn't make even one of those stops (the one on Boyes' one-timer, for instance), the game goes to the Blues in regulation.
It's frustrating to see the Blues continue to struggle to put the puck in the net, but I certainly can't complain about the game they played last night. If they can put that level of play on the ice consistently every nigh, this team will have no trouble winning games this season.

A North Dakota Army National Guard unit has been notified that it might be called for duty in Afghanistan.
The Guard says the Jamestown-based 817th Engineer Company has been put on alert. If the unit is called to duty, about 100 soldiers would head overseas in the spring of 2014.
The unit specializes in combat engineering and has previously served in Iraq. Soldiers in the unit are from 34 communities across North Dakota, eight in Minnesota and one in Texas.
Separately, the North Dakota Air National Guard says it has no airmen deployed overseas for the first time in about 11 years. Leaders expect the hiatus to be brief.

Zeke Zarchy
Rubin "Zeke" Zarchy (June 12, 1915 – April 12, 2009) was an American lead trumpet player of the big band and swing eras.
He joined the Joe Haymes orchestra in 1934, then played with Benny Goodman in 1936 and Artie Shaw in 1937. From 1937 to 1942, he worked and recorded with the bands of Red Norvo, Bob Crosby, Glenn Miller, Mildred Bailey, Frank Sinatra, Helen Ward, Judy Garland, Tommy Dorsey, and Ella Fitzgerald.
Zeke's trumpet can be heard on recordings as Benny Goodman's "Bugle Call Rag", Glenn Miller's "Moonlight Cocktail", and Bob Crosby's South Rampart Street Parade.[1]
When World War II broke out, Zarchy was the first musician chosen by Glenn Miller for what became Miller's Army Air Force Band (officially, the 418th Army Band) where Zarchy played lead trumpet and was Master (First) Sergeant from 1942 to 1945.
After the war, singer Frank Sinatra invited Zarchy to move to Los Angeles, where he became a first-call studio musician. He played on the recordings of hundreds of vocalists, including Louis Armstrong, Tony Bennett, Dinah Shore, and The Mills Brothers. His trumpet is heard in the soundtracks of many classic Hollywood movies, including West Side Story (1961), Dr. Zhivago (1965) and the The Glenn Miller Story (1954).
During the 1960s and '70s, he played in the house bands of several CBS TV variety shows, including The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, The Danny Kaye Show and The Jonathan Winters Show, and was a member of the NBC Staff Orchestras in New York and Los Angeles.
In his later years, Zarchy made many music tours of Europe, South America, and Australia, as well as 32 concert trips to Japan. He tutored several young trumpet players who became successful performers and studio musicians. He died on April 12, 2009 at the age of 93.

Combination Herbs Breast Enlargement
Another important difference between saline and silicone gel implants is how they are filled. Combination Herbs Breast Enlargement whereas saline implants are precisely filled once they have been placed into your body (and thus only require a very small incision) silicone gel implants are manufactured pre-filled. Therefore silicone gel implants necessitate a larger incision and thus you will be left with a longer scar than with a saline breast implant procedure.

If you have got no choice but to do it during summer a t-shirt worn over a bathing suit will be presentable too. During post-operative period be keen to avoid exposing the would or the scars to the sun.

Honours even between Histon and Barrow
Posted: April 05, 2014|
Skrill North
Histon 0 Barrow 0
Histon claimed a valuable point in battle for Skrill North survival after a goalless draw at home to Barrow.
The hosts were without on-loan defender Ben Clappison as he injured himself while training with parent club Hull City.
That saw fellow loanee Daniel Rumens handed a start, while Michael Clunan was also recalled to the starting 11.
It was a cagey start to the contest, but when the game opened up the Stutes created several good opportunties.
Salim Relizani was denied by the woodwork, seeing a rasping strike come back off the foot of the post, while Michael Built also had a couple of good opportunities to break the deadlock.
At the other end, Calum Kitscha did well to tip over a header from ex-Histon scholar and Barrow captain Duran Reynolds.
The first half finished goalless despite the hosts having the better of it, and it was Barrow who were on top when play resumed.
Kitscha pulled off another two brilliant saves to prevent the away side going in front, keeping out efforts from Reynolds and Cowperthwaite.
Nick Freeman had the Stutes' best chance of the half, only for Cowpethwaite to slide in and block after he had rounded the keeper following a defensive mix-up.
Histon were hanging on at the end, but they dealt with everything Barrow threw at them to earn a share of the spoils.Ed ret nostre publis enihi, Ti. condam orei perfec tere mus Ad nostra cem iamdicio C.

Watching film of Saturday's scrimmage didn't change the perception that the Alabama State defense dominated the workout, but head coach Reggie Barlow did see some encouraging things from his overmatched offense.
"Obviously, I was real impressed with our defense," he said. "When I watched the film, they were just as impressive. We did have some solid play out of some of our (offensive) guys. We had a freshman, Andre Hammon, who stepped up (and) there were some positive runs (particularly by Jahaad Coleman). I thought we had some improvement. Obviously, we want to continue to show improvement on the concepts."
Among the quarterbacks, it was hard to judge the performance of Daniel Duhart, who continues to work on overcoming a hamstring injury, but Barlow was happy with the tempo set by Quinteris Toppings.
"Duhart only played the first series, but the time he was in there he did OK," Barlow said. "Toppings, I liked the way he manned the offense and he had the guys moving around fast. His urgency was good. He missed on some throws he should be able to complete, but getting the ball out fast on the perimeter throws, he did a good job with that.
"(Walk-on Dashawn) Blow was pretty accurate and had some reps. All in all, it was a 'C' average."
The Hornets will hold their final spring workout today before holding the Black and Gold Game on Saturday.
"We'll try to do some specific stuff, probably 'backed up' (situations with the offense on its 3-yard line)," Barlow said. "We didn't fare too well on that in the scrimmage and that's an area we want to clean up. We didn't do well in the scrimmage and a couple of weeks ago didn't do well in practice.
"That's a huge situation for both sides. Defensively, if you get three and out, you have great field position. Offensively, you at least want to get a first down."
Eighty-eight players were listed on the roster for the second scrimmage and a little more than a dozen of those players will have to be cut from the roster to make way for the incoming freshmen who report in early August.
"The Black and Gold Game will be for family and friends, but for some of them it'll be their last opportunity to make a mark, that I deserve to be with the 'ones' and the 'twos,'" Barlow said. "And for some of those kids that are bottom tier, they'll be trying to make the 95-man roster for (August) camp. We've got 20-something guys (signed in February) that we have to make room for."

More than 100 Families Reunite As Part of CMA 2014
Cyr. It's more than just a last name.
"It's important to me because of our ancestors I mean all the work we've done to get to where we are today..I find that amazing," said Lise Couturier Cyr, president of the Cyr family reunion.
"When I think of Cyr I think of first settlers, I think of strong family," said Ronald Doucette.
Doucette's grandmother was a Cyr – he started tracing his family's history two decades ago- and that brought him up here. The Cyrs were one of 120 families that came together during the World Acadian Congress.
"We love the area- the friendliness, just the down home feeling that this is home, this is home, a place where our ancestors started from at one point," said Doucette.
Members of the Cyr family had a blast meeting each other and tracing their roots. It's the same story with the Martins.
"My grandmother still has a business even though she's gone and so I've met right now a lot of people that I knew their fathers, and their grandfathers they used to come to the store," said Ghislaine Crawford.
The Martins had their family reunion at the oldest Acadian home in Madawaska – built in the 1800s and still standing – so along with the family tree they got to see and experience a living piece of their history.
"Wow – that's one of the first things people say is look at the ceiling look at the floor, look at the timbers, oh this reminds me of my grand meme's house," said Lois Muller, who owns the house.
"I'm a family man so anything that goes with the family I'm going there too to see everybody if I got relatives somewhere," said Gilles Martin.
Whether you're a Cyr, a Hebert, a Daigle, or a Martin, maybe you're not even Acadian.. this Congress proves the phrase true… That family matters. Katie Zarrilli NS 8 >

I want to deploy wordpress on elastic beanstalk.
What I am confused about is this-- suppose I create a site in Wordpress(which is running on Elastic Beanstalk)-- now, on the running app I will create posts /pages, upload images etc...i.e. some data viz files and records in database- will be added to the running application.
Now I have 3 questions--
(1) Suppose I upload some files to Wordpress (for writing a new blog post)-- as I understand if wordpress is running on Elastic Beanstalk with multiple Amazon EC2 instances actually running my wordpress install, then will those files propagate automatically to all running instances? And will this also happen, if a new EC2 instance is fired up - for eg, to handle increased load?
(2) From what I see in AWS console, I can deploy different versions of an app-- but as per scenario above, if I deploy a new version, wont I lose all the files uploaded directly into running app(ie files and DB records)? How do I keep those and at the same time deploy a new version of my app?
(3) The wordpress team keeps issuing upgrades-- can I directly upgrade my running wordpress install, through the web interface? Or do I have to first upgrade my local version of Wordpress, and then upload the new version of the app to Beanstalk? If I have to upgrade my local version and then upload, then again I am back to point 1, i.e. changes made by users directly to the older version of running app- how do I preserve those changes?
Regards, Arvind.

More Lunchbox Ideas from the Sun Oven
Here's another lunchbox idea that I got from our local newspaper. The original used something called "mini-drumsticks" which I assumed meant the meatier part of the chicken wing. I'll admit, the miniature version's cuteness factor made them very tempting, but they were almost double the price per pound as the standard drumsticks I used. Putting the chicken pieces on a rack keeps them out of their own juices and makes them crispier and more portable.
Solar Lunchbox Drumsticks
6 drumsticks
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 soy sauce
Soup and Crackers
This recipe makes a big batch of soup. I use a stock pot. It's too big to fit in the Sun Oven with the leveling tray in place, so I remove it and place a rack on the floor of the cooking chamber. This soup freezes well and goes great with the crunchy crackers I made yesterday.
Spicy Solar Black Bean Soup
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large red onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
Set the Global Sun Oven Out and Hope for the Best
Even with the uncertain weather we've been having I still managed to get some solar cooking done today. It was overcast when I got up but by mid morning the sun started peeking through the clouds and I set my Sun Oven up even though I still didn't know what was going to go in it. By noon it was sunny enough to heat up some Sun Oven Split Pea Soup I had in the freezer for lunch. The afternoon skies were looking good, not great, but good enough for a pot of polenta to go with the Solar Boneless Beef Short Ribs (also from the freezer) I was planning on having for dinner. Tomorrow's forecast still looks iffy, with a chance of thunderstorms throughout the day. Luckily next week is supposed to be sunny and hot – or what's better known as typical Arizona weather – and I'll be able to get back to solar cooking without worries. I can't wait. I've got a few new recipes I'm dying to try out.
Sun Oven Time Management
Over the weekend I baked biscotti in my Sun Oven for the first time, actually it was the first time I've baked biscotti period; Sun Oven or no Sun Oven. It was a bit of a project and, as with most first time projects, there are a few things I'd do differently next time. Most of the changes I'd make are a matter of logistics. Biscotti are baked twice; first, the dough is shaped into two logs which are baked, cooled, and then sliced before baking the cookies a second time.
As with most cookie recipes the main issue was fitting them into the cooking chamber. I did manage to find two baking pans that would accommodate both logs and be cross-stacked to fit in the cooking chamber, however, next time I'd bake them in two separate batches. Here's why; in my baking experience I've found that in the Sun Oven, the bottom pan always takes longer to bake, the total baking time was just over an hour.
Both logs need to cool at least 25 minutes before slicing, and there's no way to fit all the sliced biscotti in the cooking chamber in one go. It would be better to bake one log at a time. They would bake faster and the first one would be cooling while the second one bakes. Then, the first batch of sliced biscotti would bake while the second log cools. By doing the first round of baking in two batches the overall cooking time should be considerably less, I'd say by at least an hour. The recipe itself needed no modification, apart from the cooking times; click here if you'd like to see it.
On a final note, if you make these biscotti, get the anise seed in the hispanic spice section of your supermarket where it cost only 99¢, the other stuff was over $7.00 a jar!
Squash in the Sun
This simple, tasty side dish could also be made with melted butter in place of the olive oil. I've even seen a similar recipe that used heavy cream. It goes well with turkey or pork. You can cut the squash up the night before and refrigerate it in a covered container if you want to get an early start and free up the Sun Oven for a main course to go with it.
Sun Roasted Parmesan Squash
1/2 of a butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Solar Cooking During Monsoon Season
Most people are skeptical when I tell them that solar cooking is very convenient. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, convenience was the last thing I expected to get when I first purchased my Sun Oven and I'm still a little in awe at how easy it is to use. But like anything new, it does require breaking old habits and building new ones, which may not seem so convenient at first. It takes time to figure out which parts of the yard get the most sun and how that changes throughout the year, and, for most of us, it takes time to get used to getting dinner in the oven much earlier in the day. Weather patterns come into play too. Oddly enough, in Arizona it's the summer weather that can cause the most headaches. This time of year, locally know as the monsoon season, means cloudy skies (and hopefully thunderstorms) almost every afternoon. It's not a good time of year to leave the Sun Oven unattended all day. But there's still plenty of morning and midday sunshine to prepare a solar cooked dinner that can be gently reheated, storm or no storm.
Sun Oven Solar Focaccia Made Easy
Some days I just don't feel like making everything from scratch, but I hate to see a sunny day go to waste. Luckily, purchased refrigerated pizza dough can be used to make focaccia bread in no time. Trader Joe's and Fresh & Easy both have very good white and whole wheat ready-made dough.
Focaccia is a street food in Italy and most Italian bakeries will have at least two or three different kinds. Basic focaccia bread is topped with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of kosher salt, but other toppings could include rosemary, olives, onions, tomatoes, eggplant, etc. It's very easy to make. Just spread the room temperature dough out in a baking pan, use your fingers to dimple it all over, cover it with a sheet of oiled plastic wrap and let it rise for about 30 minutes, then top it with oil and salt (or seasonings of your choice) and pop it in a preheated Sun Oven until it starts to brown, about 45 minutes. Any leftovers should be frozen because focaccia bread does get stale quickly.
Sun Oven Maintenance
I can't remember the last time I had to clean my regular oven. I use it so rarely that it doesn't get dirty. That's just another little perk of Sun Oven ownership. And cleaning the Sun Oven is easy, so easy that I usually get Mark to do it.
To keep your Sun Oven in tip top shape simply wipe away any moisture that may have formed before closing it up for the night and leave the glass door unlatched to allow any that you may have missed to escape. Clean the reflector panels and the door with a glass cleaner, and take care of any spills promptly. Most spills can be cleaned up in no time with a garden hose.
A properly maintained Sun Oven will last a lifetime, if you don't believe me come to Tucson's annual solar pot luck (the next one is in April 2012), I saw a few there that looked like they'd been through the wringer, doing just as good a job as ones that looked like they'd just come out of the box.
Safe Sun Tea
Here in Arizona it's not uncommon to see a jar of "Sun Tea" brewing in people's front yard. It's a simple enough process, put some water and a few tea bags in a glass jar, set it in the sun, let it steep for 4 to 5 hours, and you've got the perfect brew for iced-tea.
I've never made it that way myself, partly because I live with a Brit who thinks cold tea is an abomination and partly because I've heard it can be dangerous. Apparently the water doesn't get hot enough to kill all the bacteria that might be present, especially if you're flavoring the tea with fresh mint or lemon.
But Brit or no Brit I occasionally enjoy a refreshing glass of ice cold tea on a hot summer day so I use my Sun Oven to make a thirst-quenching pitcher of slow-brewed tea in a fraction of the time. And, just to be on the safe side, I use my WAPI to be sure that it's bacteria free. To brew tea in your Sun Oven just take a glass jar, fill it with water, add a few teabags, and set it in the cooking chamber. Mine was ready in under an hour.
Use your favorite tea, herbal teas are good too, and flavor it with mint, lemon, or peaches if you like. Keep it in the fridge for a refreshing cold summer beverage.
How to Eliminate Condensation
I've covered this issue before but I get enough questions about it to merit another post. I know there are scientific explanations as to why condensation occurs more on some days than others, but I can't remember them. However, excessive condensation is a problem for solar cooks. It makes it harder for the cooking chamber to maintain high temperatures, lengthening, or in extreme cases halting the cooking process. Luckily it's a problem that's easy to fix. At least one of the following solutions should solve any condensation issue.
The first solution, which is the easiest and therefore my favorite, is to simply unlatch the glass door. Turn the latches so they're not holding the glass down as in the picture below. Make sure the door is not resting on the latches. The condensation will be able to escape and the door will still be closed. It works like a Read more »

Yesterday, I accompanied two friends to a local high school, to give a presentation to the Gay-Straight Alliance about being genderqueer, and a few people talked me into a writing a recap for this site. I'll be writing this post to try to make it accessible to a broader audience, hence all the hyperlinks.
So, today I understand myself as a person who isn't a man or a woman but rather a blend of both. It's been a complicated path.
People are always asking me if I'm going to write a book about being non-binary. I always say no. For one, I'm hyper-conscious of the struggles I've had with the trans narrative*, and I worry a lot about inadvertently setting up an equally repressive counter-narrative to that. My feelings about being seen as a spokesperson or representative or role model are extremely complicated. (Had I been the only non-binary person invited to speak on this panel, for example, I'd have probably refused to do it.)
Also, if I were to write a book, I'd be a lot more interested in writing about how a person moves through the world while living in a gender that is not legally or socially recognized as valid. And that's what I tried to give the audience on Thursday.
I started by telling them about a conversation I had with a close friend: I was angsting to her about not knowing whether I was a man or a woman, and she said "I think you're one of those people who's both." And I answered, "I know, but how do I live like that?"
I told them a little about going from F to M to WTF: how I first came out to myself and to almost everyone I knew as a transgender man, and started attending a FTM support group. How I met all kinds of trans guys, from meat-and-potatoes guys to skater punk guys to tough guys to sensitive guys to glittery gay guys, but I could never shake the feeling that these guys were guys, and I was something else. Then I talked about coming back to Chicago, where I met a handful of people who were actually out as genderqueer in their everyday lives, and how they inspired me and supported me.
I explained a little about the dynamics of being non-binary on a day-to-day basis. For me, I'm generally very invisible as a gender-variant person. When people pass me by in the street, they see me as either a preppy-looking guy with stud earrings on, or as a woman with short hair, and neither of those things is all that shocking where I live. My negative experiences with bathrooms have mostly been limited to staring and rude questions. (The two other folks I was with are both generally perceived as either extremely flamboyant gay men, or as highly visible trans women, and their experiences of being in public are very different from mine.) On one hand, I feel largely insulated from gender-based harassment and violence, but on the other, I am constantly verbally coming out to people. I spend a lot of time deciding whether and when to tell people, anticipating and managing people's reactions, and generally doing 101. (Which I hate doing. Here's the righteous and pissed off 101.)
I also told them that my decision to be out, in my life as a writer, was largely about what I needed the audience to know about me in order to get a sense of where I'm coming from. It's about coming from a place of authenticity, about understanding.
However, at my night job (waiter), I've chosen not to out myself, because even if I were certain that no one would respond with hostility, I can't wait tables and also have that conversation over and over at the same time. The sheer volume of people I interact with each shift precludes it. So I simply don't correct people when they misgender me. About half the customers call me sir and the other half call me ma'am, which amuses me.
I explained how my name works: that both Katherine and Scott are my first names, that I have no preference as to which one people should use – pick one, switch them up, compound them, it's all good. (Yes, I often wonder if I wouldn't be better off just picking a gender-neutral name, instead of dragging around two heavily gendered ones, but those are my names, and I feel really strongly about them.**)
The kids asked great questions, like "What has your experience been with the main LGBT community centers?" (generally between mixed and good), and "How do you handle public restrooms?" (Ex. Hold it. Start making mental maps of where all the single-stall bathrooms are. Pee on anyone who bothers you – though I don't recommend this one.) And, of course, the ubiquitous "How did your parents take it?" (The jury's still out.)
All in all, it went really well, the kids were totally interested in what we had to say, and even the teachers took note. I ended my segment by reminding everyone in the room that they had the right to name and define their own experience, the right to change and grow, and the final say over who they are.
And even though living like this can be really difficult, I go through the world with a sense of personal integrity and authenticity, and I feel present in my own life for the first time, and that makes it all worth it to me.
*I couldn't find a neat enough link, so let me define this one really quick: "The trans narrative" refers to the life story in which every transgender person was aware of their trans identity ever since early childhood, always despised living in their assigned gender, and always displayed behaviors and identifications stereotypically associated with another gender. It fits some people better than others, and some people not at all. The problem with it is that for 60+ years, it's been the story every trans person had to tell to gatekeeping medical professionals in order to access medical interventions, such as hormones and surgeries, and is still widely used as a litmus test in order to determine whether a person's gender identity is "valid."
**Fun Fact: I modeled my full name after Rainer Maria Rilke… who I've always wondered about.

Petition to Protect Crisis Services
Crisis Services and Senator Tim Kennedy are asking our community to come together to fight a potentially devasting loss of funding for victim support services in Western New York. With your support, Kennedy and Crisis Services hope to reverse a decision made within the the bureaucracy of the Office of Victim Services (OVS) to dramatically reduce funding for Crisis Services.
Crisis Services recently learned that OVS funding they have received for over 20 years may be cut by over $300,000 – an unprecedented level, which jeopardizes the future of several services and programs now available to victims in Erie County. If this misguided funding decision from within the OVS bureaucracy is not reversed, it will likely affect thousands of Western New Yorkers who currently rely on – or may someday need – the support of Crisis Services. Over 8,000 survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault will not have access to needed support services if this funding cut remains in place.
Please add your name to this fight: By completing the form below, your name will be added to a petition that will be delivered to the Office of Victim Services to show that our community is demanding they reverse course on this decision.
After you sign, please share this petition with friends and family on Facebook, Twitter, via email or other social media.
Petition text:
We, the New Yorkers gathered here on this petition, stand opposed to your recent decision to drastically reduce funding for Crisis Services.Without the critical resources that the Office of Victim Services has historically provided, Crisis Services will be forced to eliminate several important programs, leaving over 8,000 victims of violent crime annually without the support and services they need.
This unprecedented reduction in OVS funding for Crisis Services will impact their ability to carry out the lifesaving work they perform for our community every day. In addition to the programs for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault – which will be directly impacted by these funding cuts – Crisis Services also operates a 24-hour hotline that is available to help anyone experiencing a personal, emotional or mental health crisis. Since they began serving Western New York in 1968, the comprehensive array of services they provide have supported the recovery of victims of violent crime while helping individuals through crises and effectively preventing suicide. Any funding loss that jeopardizes their work is deeply troubling to our entire community and could have catastrophic consequences.
We, as a community, request that you reverse your decision and fully restore funding for the critically important programs provided by Crisis Services.
