Learning thru Travel is the BEST!
Winchester, Virginia (PRWEB) June 09, 2016
Beginning June 7th, the Kids Trail kicks off its third year promoting fun kids activities here in the Piedmont and Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Awarded a third grant in 2016 from Virginia Tourism, Go Blue Ridge Travel is expanding the Kids Trail with an educational mission. The game is called Bucket's Buddy. The first objective is to reinforce in kids that it is OK to be different. This is explained through the personalities of four mascots – three snails and one mushroom.
"Bucket" has a "Nancy Drew" personality. Inquisitive, not scared of much, and very adventurous, Bucket loves to solve a mystery. As a ten-year-old girl, Bucket is the leader of the Fitness–Outdoor Adventure card.
"Shenny" is a girl loving all things beautiful, and like Bucket, is a decade in age. Shenny loves new ideas and leads kids through the Creativity Card. Shenny avoids getting dirty at all costs. Her clothes choice (if she wasn't a snail) would be stilettos and beautiful jewelry. Obviously stilettos are not the best shoe choice for Bucket's outdoor adventure trip.
"Ridge" is a guy who is all about the digital world. Very much a nerd. Ridge scarcely goes outdoors. Bucket does an incredible job of "getting him out of his shell", and enjoying the cool things around him. Ridge's card is History. Not opposed to doing research to discover the past, Ridge is younger - more eight and tags along with the girls, but never without one of this digital devices.
"Fungi" is definitely all about food. Being twelve, Fungi is the oldest of his companions. As a mushroom, Fungi is drawn to the farms and food's cycle to the plate. His card is wellness and he enjoys exploring all of the unique food places of the valley, while stuffing himself with their delicious food along the way.
Using a mobile phone, parents will sign in and establish an account for their family. However, upon arrival of the activity, the phone goes away while the game is played. There are four cards each with an educational theme:
- Creativity
- Wellness
- Fitness
- History/Family heritage
Each card has between four and five activities that must be completed to win a prize from the sponsor of the card as well as being entered into the FREE Family Weekend Sweepstakes drawing.
Families can break up the card or complete it in one weekend. The goal is to find the magic word associated with each location and submit to win an entry into the Kids Trail Sweepstakes. Each location has a different way to play the game. From a scavenger hunt, climbing a mountain or finding the totem pole, the adventure never ends. The game is located at Go Blue Ridge Travel so parents do not have to worry about misplacing what they have accomplished.
Firsthand experience can provide children with information and a level of understanding that adds elements of realism to their play, and enriches their overall learning. At Throx Market, the sponsors for the Wellness card kids will learn that there are healthy snacks and sodas. Throx has the largest selection of craft soda on the Interstate 81 Corridor here in Virginia. Throx Market is also the Visitor Center for the Kids Trail and Go Blue Ridge Travel, a planning travel guide for the Shenandoah Valley.
The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Summer KIDS CAMP series is the host for Shenny's Creativity Card. Every day at 10:30 there will be a special family film offered for kids only. All Kids Camp screenings are Pick Your Price - $1-$3 with 100% of ticket sales donated to local nonprofits and schools .
The Family Drive In is the host to the history card. Celebrating sixty years this summer, kids can visit the projector booth and see both the old and the new digital movie equipment. "This card will teach kids that they are living history each day," said Nancy Craun, owner and founder of Go Blue Ridge Travel. Two special parties are planned on June 19th and July 10th for Bucket's new buddies. Come and win prizes and more from our Kids Trail partners.
HF Adventure Center is the sponsor for the Fitness Card. HF Adventure will offer hiking, zip-lining, adventure rope course, and of course river sports like rafting and tubing. Here is where kids will learn it takes a team to accomplish some goals that one cannot do alone.
One lucky family of four will win a 48 hour trip to the Shenandoah Valley with an itinerary customized for their family by the Kids Trail concierge. There are also many other prizes that sweepstakes contestants can win. The contest ends August 30, 2016.
"This is a game for locals and visitors alike. Following our first season, we will be coming out with four new cards for the Fall, says Nancy Craun, owner and founder of Go Blue Ridge Travel. "These will be centered around apple pickin, pumpkin harvest, and one card will be a teen boot camp involving more physical fitness and life survival skills."
The Kids Trail is a community of partners working together to brand the Shenandoah Valley as a great place to raise a family or for multi-generational travel. "I am excited to kick this season off. It feels like we have come a long way from the first meeting of partners three years ago, says Nancy Craun, owner and founder of Go Blue Ridge Travel. "The valley is an exciting place for kids to explore. Bucket is creating new things to add to one's bucket list before you turn eighteen and no longer see the world through the eyes of a child."

Phones Specs >> Apple >> Apple iPhone SE 32Gb Specification | Reviews | Secret codes | Unlock | Root General characteristics Apple iPhone SE 32Gb Type:smartphone Band:LTE, 3G (UMTS), GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900 Platform:iOS Operating system:iOS 9 Processor:A mobile processor is found in mobile computers and cellphones. A CPU chip is designed for portable computers, it is typically housed in a smaller chip package, but more importantly, in order to run cooler, it uses lower voltages than its desktop counterpart and has more "sleep mode" capability. A mobile processor can be throttled down to different power levels or sections of the chip can be turned off entirely when not in use. Further, the clock frequency may be stepped down under low processor loads. This stepping down conserves power and prolongs battery life.Apple A9 Number of processor cores:2 CPU frequency:The clock rate typically refers to the frequency at which a chip like a central processing unit (CPU), one core of a multi-core processor, is running and is used as an indicator of the processors speed. It is measured in clock cycles per second or its equivalent, the SI unit hertz (Hz). The clock rate of the first generation of computers was measured in hertz or kilohertz (kHz), but in the 21st century the speed of modern CPUs is commonly advertised in gigahertz (GHz). This metric is most useful when comparing processors within the same family, holding constant other features that may impact performance. 1 840 MHz Graphics processor:PowerVR GT7600 RAM:Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of computer data storage. A random-access memory device allows data items to be accessed (read or written) in almost the same amount of time irrespective of the physical location of data inside the memory.2 048 MB Extendable Memory:Expandable Memory refers to the capability of a phone or mobile device to increase its storage capacity through the addition of an external memory card. Expandable memory, in the form of memory cards, is very useful for people who use their smartphones to the best of its abilities. Since it adds extra storage space to your device, the amount of files you can put in increases. Think of it as a flash drive for your computer: you can store more music, photographs, games, documents, videos, and ebooks on it.32 GB Memory card slot:no Dimensions (H/L/W):123.8x58.6x7.6 mm Weight:113 g Design Apple iPhone SE 32Gb Form factor:Candybar Housing material:metal The number of SIM-cards:1 Type of SIM card:nano SIM Navigation key:no Fingerprint ID:yes Water protection:no Display Apple iPhone SE 32Gb Color screen:yes Screen Type:IPS Number of screen colors:16 777 216 Screen Size:Is the physical size of the area where pictures and videos are displayed. The size of a screen is usually described by the length of its diagonal, which is the distance between opposite corners, usually in inches.4'' Screen Resolution:The display resolution or display modes of a digital television, computer monitor or display device is the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed. It can be an ambiguous term especially as the displayed resolution is controlled by different factors in cathode ray tube (CRT), flat-panel display which includes liquid-crystal displays, or projection displays using fixed picture-element (pixel) arrays.640x1136 px Pixel Density:Pixels per inch (PPI) is a measurement of the pixel density (resolution) of an electronic image device, such as a computer monitor or television display, or image digitizing device such as a camera or image scanner. Horizontal and vertical density are usually the same, as most devices have square pixels, but differ on devices that have non-square pixels.326 Touch screen:yes Type of touch screen:capacitive Multitouch:In computing, multi-touch is technology that enables a surface (a trackpad or touchscreen) to recognize the presence of more than one or more than two points of contact with the surface. This plural-point awareness may be used to implement additional functionality, such as pinch to zoom or to activate certain subroutines attached to predefined gestures.yes Scratch resistant glass:yes Accelerometer:An accelerometer is a device that measures proper acceleration ("g-force"). Proper acceleration is not the same as coordinate acceleration (rate of change of velocity). For example, an accelerometer at rest on the surface of the Earth will measure an acceleration g= 9.81 m/s2 straight upwards. By contrast, accelerometers in free fall orbiting and accelerating due to the gravity of Earth will measure zero.yes Sensors Apple iPhone SE 32Gb Gyroscope:A gyroscope is a spinning wheel or disc in which the axis of rotation is free to assume any orientation. When rotating, the orientation of this axis is unaffected by tilting or rotation of the mounting, according to the conservation of angular momentum. Because of this, gyroscopes are useful for measuring or maintaining orientation.yes Light sensor:yes Proximity sensor:A proximity sensor is a sensor able to detect the presence of nearby objects without any physical contact. A proximity sensor often emits an electromagnetic field or a beam of electromagnetic radiation (infrared, for instance), and looks for changes in the field or return signal. The object being sensed is often referred to as the proximity sensors target. yes Camera Apple iPhone SE 32Gb Camera:yes Number of megapixels:12 Screen Resolution:The display resolution or display modes of a digital television, computer monitor or display device is the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed. It can be an ambiguous term especially as the displayed resolution is controlled by different factors in cathode ray tube (CRT), flat-panel display which includes liquid-crystal displays, or projection displays using fixed picture-element (pixel) arrays.4608x2592 px Digital Zoom:Digital zoom is a method of decreasing the apparent angle of view of a digital photographic or video image. Digital zoom is accomplished by cropping an image down to a centered area with the same aspect ratio as the original, and usually also interpolating the result back up to the pixel dimensions of the original. It is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the cameras optics, and no optical resolution is gained in the process.3 Autofocus:yes Flash:yes Flash type:dioda Face detection:yes Geo-tagging:yes Front-facing camera:yes Number of megapixels of front camera:1.2 Video resolution:3840x2160 Frame rate for video recording:240 Frames/sec Interfaces Apple iPhone SE 32Gb Bluetooth:Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using short-wavelength UHF radio waves in the ISM band from 2.4 to 2.485 GHz) from fixed and mobile devices, and building personal area networks (PANs).yes Bluetooth:Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using short-wavelength UHF radio waves in the ISM band from 2.4 to 2.485 GHz) from fixed and mobile devices, and building personal area networks (PANs).4.2 Wi-Fi:Wi-Fi (or WiFi) is a local area wireless computer networking technology that allows electronic devices to connect to the network, mainly using the 2.4 gigahertz (12 cm) UHF and 5 gigahertz (6 cm) SHF ISM radio bands.yes NFC:Near field communication (NFC) is a set of protocols that enable two electronic devices, one of which is usually a portable device such as a smartphone, to establish radio data communication with each other by bringing them closer than, typically, 10 cm (4 in) from each other.yes DLNA:no USB:yes IrDA:no Headphones connector:3.5 mm Internet browsing Apple iPhone SE 32Gb HSUPA:High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) is a mobile telephony protocol that belongs to the HSPA (high speed packet access) set of technologies.

|Jumper - Primark (similar here) | Jeans | Boots - Daisy Street (in black)
Following on from my previous post, I wanted to share another one of the Primark jumpers that I've brought recently. This one again I think was around £10 and it's my favourite one out of the three pink jumpers I brought. I really like the colour and it's really soft - they had other colours in this jumper which I'm considering going to purchase as they're super cosy.

I have been coming across write ups and videos lately about how some children are being born remembering their past life and retaining previous life knowledge. I am curious about this because of my youngest son. He was born aware. He was later to talk because I could easily read his needs and wants. I had to pretend not to for a while just to get him to see that talking helped in life. His eyes and expressions made me think he already knew about the world and understood. When he first started to smile it was funny. If I had company over and someone told an adult joke he would look at them with a knowing in his eyes and laugh with the adults (and this happened every time). He has fought me since day one about every need I had to meet for him. I could hardly change his diapers or feed him because he would kick me away or put his limbs opposite of where I needed them. He is 5 now and still fights me when I try to meet his needs. He is very smart and a fast learner but you have to show him why he needs to learn something and how it benefits him before he will.
I never believed in reincarnation until he was born. I can't find any other explaination. He has retained past knowledge and used it to get ahead of the game. He understands things better then his older siblings, they seem like they are walking around in a dream world mostly. Maybe it just appears that way because he is advanced but I don't have to keep repeating and reminding him like I do with the others. It is weird that I have been able to give him 3 step directions since he was 2 or 3 and the others I have to go step by step and repeat. Like go into the kitchen, get a cup from the cupboard, fill it up. All the older kids would/will get stuck on step 2 or 3 and stop. It is really hard to explain what I see and feel from him.
Does anyone else have a child that seems aware?

Happy Chinese New Year Everyone!!!!
The Lunar New Year falls on the 31st of January this year. I believe they get a month off or something ridiculous...but I guess this is their "winter break". It's also that time of the year when they would visit all their friends and relatives (who are older and get visited by people who are younger), wishing them a Happy New Year. Then in return, "Red Pockets" were given ,filled with money. I remember I used to show them off to my dad telling him how much I've made that year and then finally one day he replied..."It's all the same. I give just as much, if not more, to their kids as well..." Way to ruin the mood, Daddy.
Then of course, there are the food traditions. Some of the foods I used to eat were "Nian Gao" and dumplings. Nian-Gao means Sticky- Rice Cake which is sweet rice flour mixed with brown sugar and water then steamed with dates. However "Nian" also means Year and "Gao" means High (same pronunciation different characters), so you could interpret it as a Higher (Better) Year.
But after a quick Google search, I learned that apparently oranges and noodles are a part of the tradition as well. I'm not surprised since different parts of China has their own traditions but normally we eat noodles on our birthdays for a long life.
For the sake of experimentation, I decided to go with noodles this year. It sounds like a pretty simple dish but it took me a good 3 hours to prepare.
I left my pasta machine in Vancouver so I rolled these out with a rolling pin. Time consuming but not impossible and I have done it in the past. If you let your dough rest for 30 minutes then rolling is quite easy and if using the machine I would skip the resting time.
1 beet
1 cup water
1 cup flour
1 tbsp sesame oil
5 dried red peppers crushed
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup ground beef
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp minced ginger
1 tbsp minced garlic
green onions (optional)
julienned veggies (cucumbers, carrots, radishes, spouts, peppers)
Last night I boiled a medium beet root with a cup of water. I let it reduce to about a half cup. This morning I combined a cup of flour with the beet juice and kneaded it for 10 minutes. Add more water as needed but you want the dough to be really tough and dry. There's an old Chinese saying..."soft dough dumplings and tough dough noodles". Sounds cheesy but true.
After kneading, wrap it in plastic and let rest for 30 minutes in the fridge. Then I cut them into 3 sections and rolled out each separately. When you get to the desired thickness (1-2mm) flour both sides, fold, and cut into thin strips.
Bring a pot of water to boil and season with salt. It's really important to season the water with this being a cold noodle dish. Once you run it through cold water it will get rid of all the starches that cling onto the sauce. If you don't season the noodle itself then the sauce will be too salty and noodle will stay bland. Boil the noodles for 2-3 minutes, drain, rinse and toss with some sesame oil.
Julienne your veggies and top your noodles.
Make the sauce by preheating your pan with 1/4 cup of oil on low heat. Add in crushed red pepper and let it turn slightly dark purple. Add ginger and garlic and stir for 1 minute on medium heat. Add ground beef, soy sauce and sugar and cook for 45 seconds. pour over noodle and serve.
This recipe makes 2 servings.
It's quite spicy so use less red peppers if you can't handle the heat. This is a easy version of Szechuan's DanDan noodles. Enjoy!!

Working as a Counsellor
Our career spotlight this time is with Kat who works as a counsellor whilst simultaneously studying to complete her degree in the subject!
Counselling is not a career to step into lightly but if you feel you have the skills and qualities required, then read on. Kat gives a really detailed outline of her work along with a very honest account of the pros and cons.
If you are considering a career in counselling, please bear in mind that Kat is available for online, telephone consultations, advice and mentoring – just email her on email@example.com for more information.So, briefly, what is your job?
"I am a counsellor, trained in various modalities and working with a large client base. I offer one to one counselling sessions where people of all ages and genders can come and hopefully work out what is bothering them.
I often compare it to holding up a mirror. You, the client, comes to me with an issue. I, the counsellor, am there to offer space to work through this difficulty – someone who is not directly involved offering an alternative view."
How did you get into it?
"I studied psychology and sociology at college level. Whilst I enjoyed it I felt 'something' was missing although I could not figure out what it was. I left those studies and ended up working on a switchboard in a hospital. Whilst there I got talking to the bereavement team and I was offered a couple of days shadowing with them which I thoroughly enjoyed. I asked the team leader how working in this environment had come about for her and she pointed me in the direction of counselling. I interviewed and was accepted onto a level 3 counselling skills course where something clicked…I realised this was the something that had been missing.
After this I progressed to the Foundation Degree, I qualified in October after a lot of hard work, expense and demands on my time. I was fully qualified at this point however decided to carry on to get the BA hons qualification which finishes in May 2014."
Describe a typical day.
"Part of what I love about the job is that there are no typical days as such; things can change at the drop of a hat! Generally, though, I take my child to school before school starts as I have to get to work and, until May, university too. I head into the office where I open up, answer messages, take phone calls and check the diary alongside making a cup of coffee and opening the blinds.
Depending on my diary I either get some paperwork done (at the minute I am working on a bid for funding) and then prepare for client work. Depending on who I am seeing I may get some creative materials out for example. I read the notes of the last session to make sure I am up to date. I offer 60 minute sessions where a client can bring anything into the room from frustration over a job situation to domestic abuse, and it can be difficult moving from one to the other.
After each session I take 15 minutes or so to write up clinical and personal notes including any supervision issues. I can see up to 5 clients a day at the moment and the notes are important to ensure clarity. If there are safeguarding or court issues the notes are of even more importance as they can be called upon for legal issues.I have 1.5 hours supervision for every 8 client hours so this has to be factored in my diary also. I also have personal therapy once a month for an hour- I consider this my MOT!
The day can finish anytime between 8 and 9pm so I'm often working 12 hour days. Then its home, some domestic bits and pieces and a chat with my husband before getting some tea and going to bed."
What do you enjoy most about your job?
"Seeing people move. They can go from "I can't cope" to "I can cope and I can do it well". I love the fact that I have held them whilst they have uncovered their strengths and how they can move forward and get where they want to be."
And the least?
"The long hours and the cost it has taken to train. I have found that the true cost tends not to be revealed to trainees and it can be very hard even with student finance. For example books and general student life purchases go alongside personal counselling, supervision, travel expenses, time out of work to get placement hours (generally there are few to none out of hours places to volunteer). There is also childcare, professional body membership, insurance, work mobile, professional development courses and so forth and it adds up very quickly."
What are the common misconceptions that people have about the work you do?
"That all you do is sit and nod."
What are the main skills you need to work as a counsellor?
"Empathy, patience and strength."
Tell us a little about the benefits that come with the job.
"Counselling for me is more of a calling than a money maker. Unless you are one of the few there is not a great deal of money in it. In the north west counsellors tend to charge about £35-50 per hour of counselling depending on where they are. Out of that you need to consider the above expenses as well as advertising, business cards, rooms hire etc. and once you are a no longer a student the prices go up. The more clients you see the more your supervision costs increase also.
Having said all that, I love it. It became part of me and who I am not just a job, and the frustrations all seem to melt into insignificance when you see the client who first walked through the door with their head down and no eye contact look you in the eye and say "I'm good…really good."
What advice would you give someone wanting to break into this career?
"Don't underestimate the hard work that goes into every day, the preparation and wind down for client work and all the accompanying bits and pieces. And please remember that there are very few people who leave the course and walk into a counselling job; the competition is fierce and there are very few vacancies."
Where do you see yourself in 10 years' time?
"In our house in the country with my private practice up and running- the workshops that I want to facilitate ticking along and several chickens running around… not counselling related but important all the same."
First in the office or last to leave?
"First in and last out, normally!"
Tea or coffee?
Staff canteen or packed lunch?
"Packed lunch in the staffroom."
The lift or the stairs?
"The stairs – it's good for you thighs."
Out after work or straight home to bed?
"Bed – mores the pity."

I've been getting a lot of questions lately from friends and clients about how to rent their homes out for special events, namely the Formula 1 races in November. The motivation is simple – Austin has hotel capacity for 30,000 people, and 100,000 are expected to come for the race. Most hotels have been booked since this spring at 3 times the normal rate; I even read that Motel 8 rooms were going for $500 a night! And most full time short term rentals have been booked since this spring as well. This means the regular homeowner has an opportunity to make some extra money by renting out their home for a few days. Depending on your home's size and location, you could make over $1000 a night!
One of the first questions people ask is "where do I find people to rent my house?" The way home rentals work is actually the reverse of that question, as the renters will be searching to find you. For Formula 1, I recommend the following two options.
Homeaway is the largest advertiser of vacation rental homes,and also owns other rental sites such as VacationRentals.com and VRBO.com. A homeowner pays them a fee to get their home listed on their site, and renters search the site to find available homes. Advertising usually requires an annual subscription starting at $329 however they are currently offering a 2 month special for $49.
Airbnb is another great option, particularly for people not renting out their homes on a regular basis. The big draw is that they don't charge you to create a listing, but instead charge you a percentage of your rental fee, only after you have guests book. They'll send out a photographer for free, and have other guarantees to put your mind at ease when renting your home out to a stranger.
This past year, we rented our home out during SXSW and went on vacation. The effort to get our home ready was well worth it, since in the end having someone stay in our home while we were gone covered the cost of the cruise. Going on vacation is always great, especially when someone else pays for it!
I'll explore other aspects of renting your home out short term in future posts.

There seems to be tremendous interest right now in the health effects of sugar in our diets. Many people say that it is sugar, rather than fat, that is leading people to be overweight. Documentaries like "Fed Up" talk about both the addictive nature of sugar and how the idea of "eating better and exercising more" makes little sense when the environment makes it practically impossible to eliminate sugar additives from your diet in the first place. No matter how hard you try, the deck is simply stacked against you, so the thinking goes. So 21 days ago I set ...

Ryan Hall led much of the US Olympic Marathon Trials today in Houston, but it was Athens silver medalist Meb Keflezighi that took the win and the first position on the US Men's Olympic Team. Keflezighi finished the close race in an unofficial time of 2:09:08, which would be a new personal best for him.
The other two members of the Men's US Olympic Marathon team headed for London would be Ryan Hall who finished in 2:09:13 and Abdi Abdirahman in 2:09:47. Portland's Dathan Ritzenhein came in fourth in a personal best 2:09:55. The top four finishers came in within one minute of each other. This will be one of the strongest US Olmypic Marathon teams in a long time, based on the amount of Olypmic experience represented by Keflezighi, Hall and Abdirhman collectively.
In the women's trials, Shalane Flanagan takes it in 2:25:38, which will be a new personal best for her. Desiree Davila is second in 2:25:55 and Kara Goucher finishes third in 2:26:06. Amy Hastings is fourth in 2:27:17. The previous Olympic Trials record was Colleen De Reuck's 2:28:25 finish from the 2004 Trials, so all four of the first women were faster than the old Trials record.
The race will be televised later today on NBC stations nationwide at 3:00PM Eastern Time. Check your local listings for exact times.
Talent on Display
The full strength of US Marathon running was on display here in Houston today. Among the favorites were some of the favorites runners in the world among both men and women. When we look at both the winners and the runner's up, we see Boston marathon front-runners, Olympians and New York City Marathon champions among them. It was an impressive list of runners who had been intent on securing one of the spots to compete for the US in the marathon later this year in London.
Looking at the men first, winner Meb Keflezigihi had faltered a few years back, but has now returned to his earlier greatness. After winning silver medal at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, he didn't make the team for Beijing. But over the past few years, he won the very touch New York City Marathon in 2009 and then ran a personal best there in 2011, a time that he would beat in today's Trials by just a few seconds. Many people will be happy with Meb's victory today, because as they say, "he's got fans."
Ryan Hall on paper would have been expected to win this race if we only looked at his personal best times. In terms of raw speed, he's the fastest US marathoner in history. But his performances have been a little up and down the last couple of years. He tends to start races very hard, telling people before the race today that he "doesn't like to run in back." But since going "coachless" he hasn't found his success from earlier in his racing days. Hall's most recent stand-out performance was his 2:04:58 in the crazy-fast Boston Marathon of 2011. In Chicago later last year, he ran 2:08:04 showing his inconsistency at the moment. He's got the speed and he's still young at only 30 years old.
On the women's side, everyone had been looking to Deena Kastor to win another Trials after her win in the 2008 Trials. But the young guns were coming after her. With the likes of Desiree Davila and Kara Goucher in the race, not all of the favorites were going to make the team. Desiree had run an outstanding 2:22:38 in Boston in 2011 and she was my pre-race pick to win, having run such a strong time this past April. But Kara Goucher was sitting on a 2:24:54 PR and Deena Kastor still held an astonishing 2:19:36 PR from back in 2006, meaning she could have had the speed in the tank to win.
Shalane was one of several Portland runners in the race, joined by Dathan Ritzenhein and Kara Gouchers among others. She is wicked fast, having been a major contender at the 10,000M distance and winning the bronze medal at the 2008 Olympics in the 10K. She's raced primarily at the shorter distances and half-marathons, running the fastest time by an American in 2011 at the Miami Beach Half Marathon in 1:09:58. Her marathon debut at NYC in 2010 was a 2:28:40 which earned her second place that year.

Cliff and I will be bouncing around the show however, networking, doing video interviews (like @kindafunnyvids with Greg Miller) along with special appearances at the PC Gaming Show on Tuesday at 6pm PT. Also be on the lookout for behind-the-scenes pictures and videos coming out of our trip to sunny (and dehydrated) Los Angeles during the week. Who knows what'll happen!
In anticipation of the event, but also to share a unique side of E3 from our talented staff, we're hosting a special studio-wide chat centered around The E3 You Don't See, tomorrow at 1pm ET on our subreddit. With all the collective experience, and numerous trips to E3, the people at Boss Key sure do have some interesting things to say about E3 that you may not hear anywhere else. We'll be around for an hour, longer if there's a lot to talk about.
Oh yeah, PLUS we're going to have our E3 recap Boss Room episode on June 19th at 5pm ET, so be sure to tune-in for that.
We hope everyone enjoys E3 as much as we will. We're sure to have the press conferences on during work hours and we're excited to see what's in store for gaming. We're even more excited to show you all what we're working on. More of that soon.

FELA's J.L. Williams Returns to Riverdance's 20th Anniversary Tour
Riverdance - the Anniversary Tour returns to the USA from January to June 2017. J.L. Williams rejoins the ongoing 20th Anniversary tour and will be featured for the first time as the "Baritone Soloist" who sings "Freedom/Heal Their Hearts" as well as reprising his role as one of two African American tap dancers in the showstopping number "Trading Taps".
Williams made his Riverdance debut back in the fall of 2015 in Canada. He also played the northwest of America and a limited engagement in Dublin this past summer.
No stranger to Irish dance shows, Williams started his international career nearly 15 years ago with the critically acclaimed show "Magic of the Dance" where he was a co-star to Irish dance World Champions John Carey and Alan Kenefick. Williams was also apart of the Japan & North American tour of 42nd Street as Andy Lee and made his Broadway debut in 2009 with the Tony Award winning show "FELA!" Williams has also been featured in television on "The Gregory Hines Show" in 1998 and "Strong Medicine" in 2001. Williams film debut came in 2012 in the NetFlix film "Freedom" starring Cuba Gooding Jr.
In recent times, Williams has switched entertainment hats by establishing his Production Company Tap Soul Productions (www.tapsoulpro.com) in September of 2012. Tap Soul Productions has produced several concerts including "What's going on with Jarran Muse?" and most noted two Off-Broadway productions entitled "Show me the TAP... Show me the SOUL!" at the Hudson Guild Theatre and " The JL Show" at the 777 Theatre. Williams also released a music single EP entitled "Crazy".
JL Williams states " It is a pleasure and safe working experience being with the RiverDance Company and is extremely excited to rejoin the anniversary tour in a new role."
For the tour schedule, ticket information, and ticket purchases go to the Riverdance official website www.riverdance.com.

Waiting for flight to AlderneySeptember 10, 2016 in Guernsey
Currently sat with a cup of coffee waiting to board my fligjt to Alderney.
Been told off for being over my hand luggage weight because its only 6kg on flights for island travel, even though on the website it says 10kg. Never mind. They let me off (this time).
Guernsey airport is quite small. Just a coffee shop, smalll WHSmiths and a tiny duty free shop. It reminds me a little bit of Nosy Be airport in Madagascar, just with less heat and more organisation!
Had an emergancy exit seat on the way over from Manchester. Didn't get extra leg room though. Bummer. Had the two seats to myself! Plane was about 3/4 full.
They gave out a Guernsey post during the flight, i've only kept the suduko though :p. Had a little article about Alderney Wildlife Trust fighting for tidal energy.
Slept the majority of the way over, little bit of turblance but i managed to fall back to sleep quickily. This flight is only 20 minutes so its not even worth trying to get comfy!
Its currently cloudy here but its 19 degrees and humid!
Going to enjoy the rest of my coffee and wait to board!Read more

3/25/2011 – Michigan 3, Nebraska-Omaha 2 (OT) – 27-10-4
3/26/2011 – Michigan 2, Colorado College 1 – 28-10-4, Frozen Four
The course of the season showed that if Michigan was going to make the Frozen Four they were going to do it one way: narrowly. If you need a number, during the course of the UNO broadcast they put up a stat showing Michigan's record in one-goal games was 10-3. That's just how they do.
That record is now up to 12-3 after history's greatest video review and the Joe Howe show (wsgs Joe Howe's Posts) and if there was ever any chance we remembered this hockey team as the weird one that kind of reminded you of Ron Mason that's gone now. This team isn't trying to win games –1 to –2 but you'd be forgiven if sometimes you thought they were.
It's working, though. I spent the second intermission Saturday thinking about Buffalo, when Michigan dominated Minnesota for two periods but didn't put enough of that domination on the scoreboard to prevent Minnesota's rally from tying the game; Michigan lost the game and Al Montoya's brain in overtime on one of those bizarrely frequent OT goals that comes from almost the goal line on the left side of the net*. I spent the third period thinking about how beautifully boring it was until Red channeled into Lloyd Carr by slipping Jeff Rohrkemper out there for a power play shift. He was immediately punished for punting from the 34 by a Rohkemper boarding penalty and nine seconds later CC fumbled a puck into the net. Everyone braced for a storm. That storm was a single pea-sized hailstone. The most nervous moment after that was a bunch of players rooting for the puck on the boards with the goalie out and twenty seconds left.
Michigan had outshot their opponent 43-22, played a game universally acclaimed as their best of the season, and won 2-1 because Scooter is an animal and pucks that come off Lee Moffie's stick will hit the post and go in even if they have to deflect off three guys to do it. There is a natural inertia pulling them towards narrow wins you're uncertain about; even now that they've reached the Frozen Four there's a feeling they don't really match up with a North Dakota.
There's also the feeling they just might, though. Because what the hell, Michigan's 11-1 since the line shakeup after Michigan's dismal 0-3 stretch against MSU and Miami. Season goals slipping away and faced with the question of how to get the most use out of some good forwards who never, ever score Michigan put together a vintage Todd Marchant checking line and let anyone who might put the puck in the net forget about guys like Jaden Schwartz.
This has been remarkably effective. If the announcer didn't bring his name up every time he wasn't making a joke-type assertion about the "hockey hotbeds" of California, Texas, and Arizona, the viewer could have forgotten about Jaden Schwartz. Lingering irritation at Matt Rust's bad OT penalty against UNO evaporated as his line erased Schwartz, Schwartz, and Schultz with a healthy assist from Jon Merill at his most subtly awesome. The Schwartzes got their goal on a four-on-four scramble; everything other than that was frustration. In the second period they started jawing and shoving people because they were getting nothing. This was one day after they turned defending national champs Boston College into a lump of smoking carbon.
I watched North Dakota pummel two teams, one of them not even in the ECAC, this weekend. I remember Michigan's last two not-very-competitive matchups against them. I have considerable doubts that Michigan will beat them since they're by far the best team left standing. Doubts about doubts come when you close your eyes and see Jon Merrill gently shepherding you, the puck, and a hockey team into a deep, peaceful sleep as Matt Rust obscures the face of North Dakota Hobey finalist… oh… you know… what's his name.
*[Almost certainly an artifact of my introduction to college hockey but they seem to happen all the time: Josh Langfeld's championship winner, the Vanek goal (at 1:00) that put Michigan out in Buffalo, and ND's winner against Merrimack were all bizarre nothing shots from the same area of the ice that took the goalie by surprise.]
A Tiny Window Of White Bullets
Also the other two goals but mostly Scooter!
You do not have a twitter account that concerns itself with Michigan hockey if you didn't tweet "Scooter" followed by one to three exclamation points after his goal, which was completely unbelievable even as it was happening. CC does not have the greatest defensemen in the world but holy crap where did that come from?
Monster faceoffs. Michigan both faced and received extended periods of 5-on-3 time in the first period, and during both they got clean, critical faceoff wins. Moffie's goal was a direct result. The lack of a CC goal on their terrifying PP was greatly aided, as well.
Clare escape. To recap the thing I kept talking about during the game: after a tough shift in which Pateryn and Clare got caught in the zone forever, allowing the Schwartz line to get out against them and some other random non-Rust forwards, Red pulled Clare out of the lineup for more than a period. Pateryn took shifts with the second pair D to give guys a break. Clare returned about halfway through the second and actually got some PK time a bit later, which I guess makes sense because your breakout on the PK is slapping the puck down the ice. I saw him out there a couple times in the third, as well, but his minutes were minimized.
All this invites questions about Burlon's availability. He's got two weeks to recover from his strep and penicillin reaction, so I imagine he'll be in the lineup. Losing 15 pounds is kind of a lot, though, and I wonder how effective he'll be.
RNG in full effect. Hockey's vaguely weighted plinko system was a little more random than normal this time around: FF participants are two three-seeds, a two, and a one. One seeds went 2-2 in the first round, bringing their record against fours to 11-9 the last five years. That goes beyond "anything can happen" into "your excellent season gets you nothing."
What's wrong? I don't think you can blame the Pairwise. The "better"* ranking system, KRACH, already updated for the weekend's results and still has Yale a #1. The only difference between KRACH's top seeds and the PWRs is putting Denver above Miami, and there's a fair chance that wasn't the case before the events of the weekend.
You can blame insular schedules. Yale's nonconference schedule consisted of single games against CC, Air Force, Cornell, and Vermont and an "Ivy Shootout" against other ECAC members. The only evidence we had that Yale was a top seed other than their ECAC schedule was a 5-1 win over a .500 WCHA team and a 2-1 record against Atlantic Hockey—yeah, they'd already lost to first-round opponent Air Force.
This vapor-thin trail coupled with some other ECAC nonconference games convinced the ranking systems the conference didn't suck despite years of evidence to the contrary. The last ECAC team to make the Frozen Four was Cornell in 2003 and that last to win a title was Harvard in 1989.
That only explains perpetually disappointing ECAC #1s, which are rare. The rest of it is on a tournament format which has #1 Miami play #4 UNH in New Hampshire in a single-elimination game.
*[FWIW, KRACH is mathematically pure but has a tendency to go nuts about nonconference results. In certain years it would put up to eight WCHA teams, some well below .500, into the field.]
Abandabuildings. It was no surprise to see literally every seat in the upper bowl in St. Louis empty. We wondered if a couple of friends had actually made the trip despite stern clucking about teaching the NCAA a lesson, and I said "if they did they'll be on TV because they'll be the only people there," and midway through the second there they were. Even the NCAA's comically generous numbers only show 55% capacity.
Every year we get sterile half-full buildings as teams get shipped halfway across the country and fans have to deal with the possibility they'll get on a plane to see their team play once, or if they're lucky play twice and make the Frozen Four and then you've blown your budget on regionals already. Insert usual rant about using home sites here.
The good news is the NCAA has not selected regional sites past next year. In the past sites have been selected three to four years out, so that's a clear sign this failed format is on its last legs. Last year there was a report out of Grand Forks that change was coming, with home sites and "super regionals" of an undetermined nature.
The bad news is that once again the CCHA has no regionals within hundreds of miles of it—the closest is in Green Bay as the St. Louis regional moves to St. Paul. At least Michigan's getting out of that rinky-dink operation, and as a bonus the failures of its commissioner* now directly benefit it.
*[Seriously, what has Anastos done since 1998 that a lump of quartz couldn't? The CCHA has gone nowhere, and has clearly become the region of the country that either gets screwed over by the committee or can't scrape together a bid that makes any more sense than having a regional in St. Louis.]
I am Jack's total lack of surprise. The crew doing the Yale-UMD game that chucked Yale's best player out of the game for a clean open-ice hit were from the CCHA. Yale's coach was infuriated enough afterwards to lead his presser with "the game was taken away from us." Yet more reason to be happy we're getting away from the league—hopefully most of the refs don't follow.
Via Boyz in the Pahokee as per usual.
Daily game story and gallery featuring a great shot of the Scooter(!!!) goal:
Everyone in the shot including Scooter is thinking "WTF?"
Yost Built recaps the game with gusto. Not so sure that "this is the year" since North Dakota is terrifying but Mark Burns is. Hunwick:
"I think they did have a few pretty good shots early on," Hunwick said. "But this is an opportunity to play for the Frozen Four. I think I made a couple good saves. It's pretty easy to stay in the game when you're playing to go to the Frozen Four. They didn't really get anything going too much until they got into the power play. Once they got into the power play, I really had to be sharp."
Seriously, that power play was terrifying. That first period five on three was awful.

Summer in Peru lasts from December to March, so at that time there is rainy season in highlands. If you wish to hike the Inca Trail – of which final destination is Machu Picchu – you should wait until May (and than you have time until September), or at least not visit Peru in February, because this trail is closed in that month.
If you wish to relax by the Ocean and visit some beaches, June to August is your best time frame to visit. It's the dry season, it's warm, and is the best time for visiting festivals and enjoying highland sports.
A trip to Peru takes you back in time and allows you to rediscover the exciting lives of numerous indigenous people like Inkas, Chancas, Chachapoyas, Quechua, Aymara, and Wari. Actually in Peru exist 92 individual groups of Peruvian Indians, but some of them are pretty small. Either way, by visiting Peru you can get to know their culture, works of art, try their feasts, and experience the energy of their people.
Fresh local ingredients with a smell of history. Wouldn't you like to taste that? Peruvian cuisine is a mix of Incan, Spanish, African and Asian culinary world. If going into the right restaurants and ask for traditional Peruvian dishes, on your plate you will find a lot of fresh fish from the ocean, meat, potatoes, corn, quinoa, herbs, and – of course – chillies.
If you'll be there for a longer time, be sure to try out "traditional dishes" in different areas, since different regions have different traditions. The mixing of cultures and the variety of climates differ from city to city so geography, climate, culture and ethnic mix determine the variety of local cuisine.
Oh, and if you're a foodie … You HAVE to try Peruvian street food. Especially if you have a sweet tooth, you wont get bored here.
The most famous native people of Peru are Incas that lived in the Andes with highly structured society, advanced architecture and unbelievable connection to Nature and the land. One of the most known Incas sights is Inca Trail, of which final destination is Machu Picchu – the "Lost City of Inkas" as the Peruvians call it.
When the Spaniards arrived in the land of Peru, the Inkas ran and hide in this amazing sanctuary that is located 2430 m above the sea-level. The conquistadors were never taken there and the city remained hidden from outsiders until the 20th century. There is no surprise that this historic sanctuary is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sights.
The Incan empire stretched 2500 miles and was called the Land of the Four Quarters. Their temples were literally paved with gold. The centre of the Inca World was Cuzco. It is nestled in a mountain valley 10,000 feet above the sea level, and now receives nearly 2 million visitors a year.
The ancient temple called Saksaywaman there covers 250 square meters and is built from large dry stone walls with boulders carefully cut to fit together tightly without mortar.
In 1533 Spanish conquistadors arrived in the city and since than many of the Incan buildings were destroyed, but many of them were rebuild with an European touch.
Those that visit historical city of Cuzco, say that is a great place to get that true Peruvian vibe by meeting typical Peruvian people wearing traditional costumes there. Besides, there are a lot of stores and restaurant where you can enjoy the sun and sight.
Book a car in Cuzco downtown and explore this amazing land »
The highlands of Peru include also the highest peak of the country, which is 6,768 m high. Peru's distinct environmental regions provide excellent trekking options for both experienced hikers and casual trekkers alike. There are plenty of trails to choose from. Joining the classic Inca Trail at Wayllabamba and continuing to Machu Picchu is a must, if you consider yourself a trekker.
You can find different trek options here »
Attempting to see everything is a bit challenging, but in Peru every place and sight is incredible. If you're interested into backpacking thru this Country, look for travel bloggers, who already done it, preferably on their own.
Of course, you have to visit Lima, the capital of Peru. There you can gently enter into Peruvian culture, visit galleries, try different restaurants and explore the colourful markets. At the beaches you can observe the surfers or try it out by yourself. Playa Waikiki is very famous surfer beach. Than the best option is to proceed via the South Coast.
If going South, visit Arequipa that was the colonial-era capital of Peru's Arequipa Region. From there you can hike to volcanoes or explore the historic city centre. You can even take Peruvian cooking class there.
When you'll absorb all that, you can take your tip to the next level and visit Lake Titikaka and Inka Trail. Than the jungle is your next destination. Doing that you can visit Peru's Tamshiyacu-Tahuayo Reserve, which is famed for its diversity of wildlife.
Did you know that Peru counts with 28 individual climates? In one (crazy) day you can make a snow angel in the Andes, take a dip in the South Pacific Ocean, and go sand boarding in Huacachina.
It has also an equally diverse amount of plants. It has over 1800 species of birds (120 endemic to Peru), and 500 species of mammals, and over 300 species of reptiles.
If you don't have a lot of time – a month would be great for exploring Peru – and you're advanced driver, hiring a car is a good idea, although driving in Peru could be a bit like adrenaline sport. A four-wheel-drive vehicle is your best option – no matter in which area you are considering to rent your vehicle.

A fierce gun battle between Gulf Cartel members and the Mexican military left five gunmen dead near the Texas border city of Rio Bravo.
The shootout took place when a Mexican military convoy was conducting routine patrols near an intersection on the main highway connecting the city of Rio Bravo with the border city of Matamoros, information released by the Tamaulipas government revealed.
The military convoy spotted a maroon Chevrolet Suburban with five gunmen on board, who proceeded to fire on them, according to the government report.
The Mexican soldiers fought off the attack and killed the five gunmen, who were all armed with rifles. Inside the SUV, the troops found ammunition, magazines, and tactical gear.
As Breitbart Texas previously reported, the border area in Tamaulipas has been the stage of a fierce internal war between rival factions of the Gulf Cartel. The fighting has led to large scale gun battles, grenade attacks and road blockades along many highways, causing panic throughout the region.
