RIP Bob Bogle
Just found out that Bob Bogle, the man who founded the Ventures and creating some of the greatest instrumental hits in American music, died this past Sunday evening.
Bob Bogle, Ventures' guitarist, dead at age 75 (Seattle Times)
While there's a minor, recurring debate among the surf community as to whether the Ventures "qualified" as a surf band, the effect of the Ventures on the tsunami wave of instrumental bands that reverbed their way through the sixties is undeniable – as is the influence they still hold on bands taking up the instro torch today.
A perfect testament to Bogle's musical vision was the reaction of a landlocked crowd in Columbus, Ohio at our Peach District show two weeks ago; Coming back into the second verse of our straight-ahead version of Walk Don't Run, I remember looking up from the fretboard to see random pockets of people dancing throughout the crowd, smiling it up and having a great time.
Nearly fifty years on and his musical influence is still making heads nod.

Just tried a new vegetarian Korean restaruant in K-town. It's called Sallim and it's on Wilshire near Virgil.
First of all, it's an all-you-can-eat buffet which made me a little leary but everything tasted very fresh. A number of items were not identified in English - so I wasn't totally sure what it was. Lunch is $9 and dinner is $11. They also serve breakfast from around 7:30 to 10 am.
There were probably 20 items to choose from that were vegetables, soymeat, or tofu. In addition to that there were 4 kinds of soup and a kimchi table that had about 6 different items. Apparently the selection varies each day. Their menu lists about 40 items. From what I can tell they don't use any fish oil or any animal products of any kind.
It's a great way to taste a number of different things. I most liked the kimchi pancakes and squash pancakes, a vegetable dish that was either aster or bellflower, the lotus flower seed porridge, and a california roll made with potatoes.
The address is:
3020 Wilshire Blvd #119

What an adventure this pregnancy has been. And how totally wonderful and scary that I am in this blessed place, on this life-changing precipice, yet again!
Each pregnancy is different. For me this one in particular has been about unweaving and sweeping out some of the most nagging and difficult thought patterns and threads of my early life. It has taken a great deal of staring my not-so-lovely habits based on bogus, self-demeaning beliefs in the face.
What has happened after all these weeks and months of hard work is that this baby has asked me to make some serious and heartfelt room not only for his emergence, but for -- drum roll, please -- my own exalted one.
Yes, any way you slice it, giving birth is a spiritual and transformative process and it starts even before conception. Whether we take advantage of this special time, however, is another story, and with my first pregnancy eight years ago, I didn't appreciate my opportunity for metamorphosis in the slightest. I simply checked out.
With my second, two-and-a-half years ago, I was more inclined to go deep, but ended up on bed rest and was too afraid to do much inward work. Hence, the steady roll-up-my sleeves kind of journaling, meditating, yoga practicing, breathing, intuiting, and connecting that has occurred this go round is pretty much unparalleled. With less than three weeks to go, I feel like I haven't seen anything yet.
Ironically, here's what has also dawned on me: To unseat and dismantle the binding thoughts and obstacles to joy that we have had since our own conceptions does not at all require being physically pregnant with a baby.
It requires being pregnant with ourselves.
An OB-GYN once said to me that when women in their late 30s crave babies, they are likely craving their own rebirths, their own self-creation, unhindered by the turbulent, murky swells that threaten our unique, ecstatic development into fully actualized beings. I'd like to extend this notion of longing for rebirth far beyond the 30-something woman, and offer it to every one of you.
We can, male or female, young or old, gay or straight, uproot the tough, errant stuff we've been programmed to live stream to ourselves our entire lives. We can all un-birth the grossness and negativity of the past and claim fulfillment and bliss as our birthrights.
Right now, this very instant is indeed ripe with the possibility of rebirthing you, on your own delicious terms. But you have to be willing to do the work. Are you?
Through zen sitting practice, I have been taught to experience every breath, every moment as a both dying and being-born one, a simultaneous falling away and profound rising up. In the dying away, we shed and discard all our cruddy baggage. In the rising up, we reveal our naturally elated selves, and we have this chance every single bleeping minute! How much more fantastic does it get?
Please, as my final bid for the next three months, I urge you from my deepest, most alive, and thumping heart, to resurrect yourself. Go ahead and take that longed-for leap. Find the bravery and the guts to un-birth all that old crap, then RISE, RISE, RISE!
I can't be there to physically catch you, as midwives do when catching babies as they first arrive into this gleaming world, fresh from their mothers' wombs. But I will be there in spirit, cheering you along, as you catch your own newborn, reborn self and cry out with delight in all that shimmery wonder at the wholly, holy rebirthed YOU.
I'll of course be doing the very same.
In sweet rebirth,

Target chills with green refrigeration
MINNEAPOLIS — Target announced that it will adopt green refrigeration technologies in its stores as part of its new membership in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's GreenChill program.

By joining the GreenChill program, Target will be able to utilize an industry benchmarking system and obtain greater access to EPA research.
Ziploc introduces multipurpose containers
RACINE, Wis. — Consumers looking for containers that are designed to store, heat and serve can look no further than Ziploc's latest innovation.
Ziploc VersaGlass products are designed to go from the fridge to the microwave or oven — at temperatures of up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit — and straight to the dinner table, the company said. The containers also are dishwasher-safe and available in six sizes, ranging from $4.19 to $8.99, or in a variety pack of three containers for $17.99.
Ziploc's VersaGlass line can be purchased online at Ziploc.com or at major retailers nationwide.
99 Cents looks to lure the frugal bride
CITY OF COMMERCE, Calif. — Retailers have been taking advantage of the much-anticipated royal wedding to promote their own wedding services, but one of the more surprising of the bunch is 99 Cents Only Stores, which used the hoopla around the upcoming union of Prince William and Kate Middleton to announce the launch of its bridal registry for couples.
The company announced that it has more than 999 wedding related items to choose from, and even invited the royal couple to join its registry. The likelihood that William and Kate will register at 99 Cents Only is low, not only because their guests likely have the means to shop at higher price points, but because the company doesn't operate any stores in the United Kingdom, making it tricky for locals to shop its stores.
The royal couple aside, consumers have been embracing a more frugal lifestyle, and that has included wedding registries. Target and Walmart both offer wedding registries for customers who prefer to offer their guests more affordable gift options, so it is not surprising that 99 Cents Only wants a piece of the action.

by Fiona C. Odgren
During the years 1880 to 1885 an extraordinary body of correspondence took place between two Himalayan Masters and two influential British men living and working in India. Alfred Percy Sinnett and Arthur Octavian Hume had met H.P. Blavatsky (later to be known as H.P.B. by her friends) and
Col. Henry Steel Olcott, founders of the Theosophical movement. These letters (The Mahatma Letters) were destined to become, along with Isis Unveiled, The Secret Doctrine, and The Key to Theosophy, an essential seminal work of the Theosophical movement worldwide. They have unquestionably challenged, stimulated, and inspired genuine seekers and students of the Ancient Wisdom everywhere for nearly a century. The Mahatmas were hoping
these two men, with their education and intelligence, would help make these teachings more available to others through writing articles for The Theosophist.
The Masters involved in this correspondence were members of the Himalayan brotherhood and were known as Koot Hoomi or K.H., and Morya or simply M. Their precise location was not known but there are several references to the Tibetan town of Shigatse, with its renowned monastery connected to the Panchen Lama.
It needs to be emphasized, they were full-bodied men in physical form and not some kind of ethereal entities dreamed up by Blavatsky. Koot Hoomi was a Kashmiri Brahmin by birth, but his family came from Northern India. At the time of the correspondence, both he and Morya had strong links to the esoteric Gelugpa division of Tibetan Buddhism and described themselves as "Buddhists." Koot Hoomi had been educated at several European universities and was fluent in both English and French.
The Problem of Evil (compiled from The Mahatma Letters)
It is belief in God and Gods, that makes two-thirds of humanity the slaves of a handful of those who deceive them under the false pretence of saving them. Is not man ever ready to commit any kind of evil if told that his God or Gods demand the crime – voluntary victim of an illusionary God, the abject slave of his crafty ministers? The Irish, Italian and Slavonian peasant will starve himself and see his family starving and naked to feed and
clothe his padre and pope. For two thousand years, India groaned under the weight of caste, Brahmins alone feeding on the fat of the land, and today the followers of Christ and those of Mahomet are cutting each other's throats in the names of and for the greater glory of their respective myths. Remember the sum of human misery will never be diminished unto that day when the better portion of humanity destroys, in the name of Truth, morality, and universal charity, the altars of their false gods.
Ambition, the desire of securing happiness and comfort for those we love by obtaining honours and riches, are praiseworthy natural feelings, but when they transform man into an ambitious cruel tyrant, a miser, a selfish egotist they bring untold misery on those around him; on nations as well as on individuals. All this then – food, wealth, ambition, and a thousand other things we have to leave unmentioned, becomes the source and cause of evil whether in its abundance or through its absence. Lack all this and you starve, you are despised as a nobody, and the majority of the herd, your fellow men, make of you a sufferer your whole life. Therefore, it is neither nature nor an imaginary Deity that has to be blamed, but human nature made vile by selfishness. Think well over these few words; work out every cause of evil you can think of and trace it to its origin and you will have solved one-third of the problem of evil.
Wisdom (compiled from The Mahatma Letters)
The truth is, my dear friend, that notwithstanding the great tidal wave of mysticism that is now sweeping over a portion of the intellectual classes of Europe, the Western people have as yet scarcely learned to recognise that which we term wisdom in its loftiest sense. As yet, he is only esteemed truly wise in his world who can most cleverly conduct the business of life, so that it may yield the largest amount of material profit – honours or money. The quality of wisdom ever was, and will be yet for a long time – to the very close of the fifth race – denied to him who seeks the wealth of the mind for its own sake, and for its own enjoyment and result without the secondary purpose of turning it to account in the attainment of material benefits. By most of your gold worshipping countrymen our facts and theorems would be denominated fancy-flights, the dream of madmen.
Originally from England, Fiona C. Odgren emigrated to Canada at age 23. She is currently president of the Theosophical Society, Victoria, BC and has served in this capacity for over 20 years.
Insights From the Masters – A Compilation

Corticosteroids have been used as drug treatment for some time. Lewis Sarett of Merck & Co. was the first to synthesize cortisone, using a complicated 36-step process that started with deoxycholic acid, which was extracted from ox bile . [43] The low efficiency of converting deoxycholic acid into cortisone led to a cost of US $200 per gram. Russell Marker , at Syntex , discovered a much cheaper and more convenient starting material, diosgenin from wild Mexican yams . His conversion of diosgenin into progesterone by a four-step process now known as Marker degradation was an important step in mass production of all steroidal hormones, including cortisone and chemicals used in hormonal contraception . [44] In 1952, . Peterson and . Murray of Upjohn developed a process that used Rhizopus mold to oxidize progesterone into a compound that was readily converted to cortisone. [45] The ability to cheaply synthesize large quantities of cortisone from the diosgenin in yams resulted in a rapid drop in price to US $6 per gram, falling to $ per gram by 1980. Percy Julian's research also aided progress in the field. [46] The exact nature of cortisone's anti-inflammatory action remained a mystery for years after, however, until the leukocyte adhesion cascade and the role of phospholipase A2 in the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes was fully understood in the early 1980s.
As for individual use of a personal nature, outside therapeutic treatment, this is where we will find the vast majority of anabolic steroids.

Travelers Thali House Too Good to Keep Secret
"For years, there have been complaints about the lack of (and lacking) Indian food options in Seattle. I'm here to tell you: Travelers is the answer to your prayers."
Allison Austin Scheff,
Seattle Magazine
(January 2012)
We are proud of the recognition we have received from food critics, but also from our blogging, yelping and tweeting public. Thank you all for your feedback and encouragement.

Seattle Met
(June 2012)
"This is the best Indian food around Seattle..."
"It's not 'fancy', and that's what's so Indian about it... It is a well-rounded meal... made in an unpretentious manner that really allows you to taste the ingredients. This is the food I grew up eating at home for 22 years, and I am absolutely in love with the place."

Reviews for Travelers Thali House
One of "The 38 Essential Seattle Restaurants"
"In New York, some of the best Indian food is served at the Hindu temple in Flushing, Queens. Temple cooking relies on spices and flavor for interest, not on fats, and Travelers channels this brand of Indian cuisine. Seattleites should no longer complain about the lack of a good Indian restaurant. Time to make your way to Beacon Hill."

"Best Chai Overall"
- Seattle Weekly
(Oct. 30, 2013)
"...a range of chais abound in Seattle; just name your palate and mood. After tasting about 30 this week, here are my votes to get you started:
BEST CHAI OVERALL: Traveler's Masala Chai (Seattle Coffee Works, etc.)
Mixed at Traveler's Thali House in Beacon Hill (formerly in Capitol Hill), Traveler's Masala Chai is the smoothest, most balanced chai I found. Made from a black tea concentrate, it is just sweet enough with well-blended (not bitter) spice that rises the perfect amount in the back of your throat. It actually tastes like tea (which, as you'll later see, is no given) and leaves you with a warming afternote of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. With the real name and everything? These guys must be from India."

Peru 'Mermaid' Baby Prepares for Surgery
Peru 'Mermaid' Baby Prepares for Surgery
Feb. 22, 2005
LIMA, Peru (AP) _ The father of a 9-month-old baby born with rare congenital defect called ``mermaid's syndrome'' said Monday she is doing well ahead of an operation to separate her fused legs.
Ricardo Cerron, 24, also said he dreads the danger she still faces. His daughter, Milagros, was born April 27, 2004 with sirenomelia.
On Feb. 8, three bags of silicone were inserted between the baby's ankles, knees and thighs during a three-hour operation. The bags will be filled with saline solution every three days to stretch the skin.
Milagros has been undergoing daily sessions in a hyperbaric chamber to improve blood circulation to her skin and the fat in her legs.
``We have gone through some difficult moments waiting,'' said Cerron. ``The first operation was a little bad but the hyperbaric chamber sessions are going well.''
Doctors said the operation will occur in 35 to 40 days but Milagros must first complete 20 days of hyperbaric treatment.
Milagros, which means ``miracles,'' was in the arms of her mother, 19-year-old Sara Arauco, during a visit by an Associated Press Television crew on Monday. The baby is one of only three known cases in which children with the condition are still alive.
While the surgical team is optimistic, the team's head, Dr. Luis Rubio, stressed the complications.
``This is an anatomy totally different from a normal anatomy,'' he said. ``There are arteries that travel from the right leg to the left side, from the right thigh to the left (and) there are a connection of arteries at the level of the knees.''

text: If we think we can send board members out to fundraise without giving them tools, we might need some analysis. What are we thinking?! It's a license for complete failure, and the proof is in the pudding. Time and again our board members fail to partner successfully with staff to develop the organization's resources because we never show them how or provide the training.

DNA results have cleared Darryl Adams of the rape for which he was convicted of 24 years ago, but it is unclear whether he will be exonerated or will be eligible to receive compensation for his wrongful conviction. Adams case was riddled with problems, which his lawyers say could and should have prevented his conviction from the start.
In 1992, after a witness reported seeing a rape, police were called to the scene near a Salvation Army and found Adams, another man, and a woman along with her two young children sleeping on the sidewalk. When officers woke them to ask what happened, the woman initially claimed that nothing occurred. After the officers moved her away from Adams and the other man, Ronald Eubanks, the victim told them that Adams had sexually assaulted her and Eubanks had tried to, but was unable. She told police that the men threatened to hurt her children, which is why she denied the rape at first. Adams and Eubanks were both arrested.
Despite DNA results later clearing both men of the rape, officials are still unsure whether the witness' identification of Adams and Eubanks was a case of mistaken identification, which can be attributed to a large number of wrongful convictions, or if she lied. The Innocence Project of Texas now represents Adams. The project's president, Gary Udashen, said although he is unsure, he believes the victim lied and that she made up a story because she was scared that police would take her children away from her. In addition, the caller who reported the rape gave a fake name, so the district attorney's office was unable to locate him/her.
Both Adams and Eubanks accepted plea bargains offered by the DA's office while they were in jail, entailing "deferred adjudication" probation in which they would not be convicted so long as they carried out all the requirements of the deal. According to Udashen, Adams accepted the plea bargain to get out of jail quickly. He went on to say that the DA's office would have dismissed the case because Adams' situation is an example in which people take probation for a case that a jury would not have convicted them of in the first place.
Shortly after accepting the plea deals, however, Adams burglarized a building and did not pay required fees, and Eubanks did not provide a urine sample drug test, was found to have marijuana in his system, did not pay fees or fines, and missed meetings with his probation officer. They were sent to prison for violating their probation, and Eubanks received 10 years for sexual assault and Adams was sentenced to 25 years for sexual assault in addition to 20 years for the burglary charge.
In March, the highest criminal court in Texas—the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals—granted Adams a new trial. It is now up to the Dallas County District Attorney's Office to determine whether they will retry Adams or dismiss the case. The case can be dismissed in two ways—one would exonerate him and grant him compensation, and the other would free him without declaring him innocent. Udashen called the case weird and weak, to which Patricia Cummings, the Dallas County prosecutor that supervises the conviction integrity unit, agreed. The DA's office has not ruled out retrying the case, and agrees that Adams should be granted a new trial. Adams' attorneys plan to ask the office to declare him innocent. Udashen stated that because of the DNA results and the fact that the victim in the case died about 15 years ago, it is unlikely that the case will be retried.
In August 2014, Adams was released on bond, but was charged with misdemeanor DWI while he was out. He now lives with family, however, and also has a job.
Eubanks is also seeking to be exonerated for the rape charge, but there has yet to be a ruling handed down by the Court of Criminal Appeals. Although the case has been decided, it is unclear why it is taking so long for the appellate court to write the ruling. The delay could be due to the fact that there is no DNA available for testing since Eubanks was never accused of leaving any, so DNA test results may not help his case. Another possible reason is because Eubanks presented a different legal argument than Adams. While Adams asked for and was granted a new trial based on new scientific DNA evidence that was unavailable at the time of the original handling of his case, Eubanks asked to be declared "actually innocent" in his case by the appellate court.
The DA's office is waiting to take action in Adams' case until Eubanks' case has been ruled on, so they will keep the cases tied together for the time being since they have been intertwined from the get-go, even though nothing requires them to do so. Cummings stated that the office could change its plan should Eubanks' case continue to remain at the appellate court, which has no deadline to reach a ruling. She went on to say that if the cases are dismissed based on actual innocence, then Adams and Eubanks could both be exonerated.

According to a press release issued by the Virginia Wine Board Marketing Office, the new tasting room at Cooper Vineyards in Louisa is in the process of becoming LEED platinum certified, making them the first winery in that category on the East Coast and the second in the country.
LEED, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, validates the construction of a green building and is broken into a four-tier award classification system ranging from Certified to Platinum, the highest level of certification.
Reportedly, Cooper is using:
- rainwater collection and low flow fixtures to reduce water usage by 40%
- structurally insulated panels for the roof and walls
- geothermal heating and cooling system for the building
- low voltage LED lighting coupled with daylight and occupancy sensors
- solar panels which provide over 15% of energy needs for the building
In addition, they are using many recycled and locally sourced materials for the construction. The Grand Opening is scheduled for April 8.

Abbey Road Relics
All four Beatles gathered at EMI Studios on the morning of Friday 8 August 1969 for one of the most famous photo shoots of their career. Photographer Iain Macmillan took the famous image that adorned their last-recorded album, Abbey Road. A policeman held up the traffic as Macmillan, from a stepladder positioned in the middle of the road, took six shots as the group walked across the zebra crossing just outside the studio. While visiting London I took more than a tourist photo crossing the street.

Late last week, attorneys representing the parties involved in toxic FEMA trailer litigation came to an agreement to settle a small portion of the toxic trailer claims.
The vast majority of units used by FEMA to house those displaced by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita were travel trailers. A much smaller percentage of units were mobile homes or manufactured housing units. The settlement involves only the manufactured or mobile home units.
The agreement calls for mobile home manufactures named in the case to pay $2.6 million dollars to resolve mobile home claims. The agreement will apply to claims involving manufactured housing units; however, claims involving travel trailer units remain unsettled.
The settlement comes as welcome news for the thousands of individuals who were exposed to potentially toxic formaldehyde fumes while living in temporary housing following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Although the settlement only applies to a relatively small portion of the claims, it could lay the groundwork for a much larger future settlement.

Reaching Higher - We are on our way!
Reaching Higher is less a destination (a wonderful facility expansion) and more of a process (becoming the church God wants us to be). God has called Mountain Life to Reach Higher because He wants us to refuse to live in the past, but to reach for all He has for us.
As God has blessed Mountain Life with a growing ministry, both at home and overseas, He is now leading us to lean into the future with a greater faith in what He can do. During our Reach Higher Capital Campaign, we set out to raise $5,750,000 to build a tool that God could use to help us increase our kingdom impact in Park City, our region and the world. As we all knew, this was a God-sized vision that would only happen if God put His hand of blessing upon it. Amazingly, God has chosen to do just that! For not only did we meet our goal, we surpassed it, and this great giving is continuing as more and more people catch the vision.
Now the challenge before us is two-fold. One challenge is for us to make the best use of all monies entrusted to us. We want to use these monies as good stewards, investing them wisely for the advancement of God's kingdom in any and every way He leads us. The other challenge is to prepare ourselves so that once God provides us with this incredible building expansion, we will be ready to maximize its use for God's glory. This means we all need to evaluate our priorities to ensure that we are growing our love relationship with Jesus. As our love relationship with Him deepens, so will our desire to serve and reach out to others with His love.
May the season we are now entering be one in which we all humbly dedicate ourselves to growing our passion for God and compassion for people. As God leads us each step of the way, the best is yet to come.
Pastor Scott
Give Now
This is the moment! We want to open our doors wide to bring new people into the Kingdom of God!

Any girls and anuty for sex chat - Taiwan naked chatting
I won't list all the places to go out in Taiwan on this page, but I'll show you the most popular discos in the top 3 cities: Taipei, Kaohsiung, and Taichung. is the biggest dance club in Taipei (and Taiwan) and it's the place you wanna head for to hear famous DJs.
Luxy draws a good crowd of both Taiwanese and expats who want to have a good time!
With its good drink specials and nice space, the Luxy discotheque in Taipei will know how to keep you up all night! Of course, if you compare it to the nightlife of Taipei, you'll be disappointed.
Ask anyone in Taichung what's the #1 place to drink and dance and nine out of ten times, Xaga disco club will be the answer.
Xaga has high ceilings, hundreds of square meters of floor to dance, a luxurious vibe and a huge selection of cocktails.
I even read on a blog that Xaga is where most of the beautiful girls in Taiwan hang out, so it might be the perfect place for you if you're single.
Few places on earth are as atmospheric and as exciting as Taiwan at night.
When Taiwanese people visit mainland China, they are shocked at the fact that everything closes so early, and wander the empty streets at 10 p.m.
in a hopeless search for an open food stand or restaurant.
And you'll probably be shocked too when you realize just how late life on the streets persists in Taiwan.
Taiwan's nightlife isn't just about bars, discos and lounges, it's also about night markets, KTVs, and even 7-11s and parks!
Big cities in Taiwan offer a fairly wide range of bars, lounges, and nightclubs.Tags: Adult Dating, affair dating, sex dating

A New Season Begins
April 9, 2009
By Lara Boyko
Special to NCAA.com
The 2008-09 season may be officially over now as the confetti and streamers are being cleaned up from the Scottrade Center in St. Louis and as fans and teams alike officially start their post-season hibernation today, but another season is in full speed in the world of women's basketball – the recruiting season.
"Recruiting is a year-round event, but after the Final Four games, we are allowed to start placing phone calls to our junior prospects," said Long Beach State coach Jody Wynn, who oversaw recruiting while part of the University of Southern California coaching staff from 2004-09. "We begin the club scene in the middle of April where there is a three-day viewing period (spring viewing period) where coaches can go out and watch kids play on their club teams in various tournaments."
After this viewing period, coaches then have some down time in the recruiting process as they are not allowed to go out and watch high school junior and senior level recruits play (freshmen and sophomores are only allowed to receive questionnaires and camp brochures). Instead, coaches are allowed to call junior level recruits once in May, once between June 1-20, once more from June 21-30 and three times during the month of July. Senior level players may receive one call per week from an interested coach.
Once July rolls around, the only down time in the recruiting process may be when coaches are asleep.
"We can't see the kids play again until around July 6," said Wynn, who also experienced the recruiting game from the player's point of view when she earned CIF Southern Section and Orange County Player of the Year accolades in 1991 and 1992 while at Brea-Olinda High School. "We have two weeks in July where we are out and then we dead period (a week off). After this week off we are back out again watching kids play in club team tournaments in the final week of July."
During August coaches are not allowed to go out to watch recruits. However, with their own players reporting after the summer break and getting ready for their fall training schedule, this is anything but a dead month.
College coaches use August to get ready for the hustle of the recruiting season for the incoming junior class of the high school recruits. From having the floodgates of the juniors who are now eligible to be contacted by coaches, to how to utilize their 100 recruiting-person days during the academic year evaluation period, maximum five recruiting opportunities (contacts and evaluations combined), maximum three off-campus contacts all while keeping in mind the practice or competition site restrictions so they can get to know their recruits better.
According to the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Recruiting Off-Campus Recruiting Guide effective August 1, 2007, junior level players can start receiving recruiting materials on September 1 while senior level players can start making official visits to schools.
"It is in September when we start going out to the high schools to do evaluations," said Wynn. "We have to space out the times where we can go see the high school players because we only have five evaluation periods during the year. July is excluded in these evaluation periods so during this month, we can go out and follow a player throughout the month. From September 1 of their junior year is when we can start contacting them via air mail, email and all throughout their junior year."
The evaluation period is defined by the NCAA Division I Manual (section 13.02.4.2) as a period of time when coaches are allowed to be involved in off-campus activities to assess qualifications and playing ability without making contact with the prospective student-athlete.
After the September viewing period, coaches then have another viewing period where they can keep on eye on their prospects.
"There is also a club viewing period during the first week of October (fall viewing period) where, like in April, coaches will travel to various events so they can watch their top prospects play in the top club tournaments," said Wynn.
November and December finds coaches beginning their pre-season action, but also strategizing which high school games they want to see.
"Through the spring, summer and fall where we see kids play in the best tournaments is when we do most of our evaluating to determine who we are going to go watch during their high school season," said Wynn. "We may have a lead on a kid who plays for a certain school and will go out to see them play, but with the level we are at, we will not go to a random high school game where we have no idea who is playing on the teams."
While a majority of the players who get recruited to play at the Division I level do play on club teams and are seen at club tournaments, there are still ways for players to stand out even with just playing on their high school team.
"Every day we receive mail from between 5-to-10 prospects from all over the country," said Wynn. "This mail is in the form of player profiles, DVDs of highlight reels or letters saying they are interested in the university and us requesting that we evaluate them. These are kids who may not have been evaluated by schools that they wish to attend, so they contact the schools themselves. The higher profile kids do not contact schools as they are usually being recruited and will correspond with us during their junior year if they are interested in us."
January is not only the beginning of a new calendar year, but also the start of the high school conference season, which coaches juggle with their own team's schedule.
"High schools finish in late February or early March so the next time we will see them is in the middle of April during their club tournaments," said Wynn.
With the recruiting calendar being so complex, it's no surprise that the NCAA makes sure college coaches are on their game during the recruiting season each year.
"We are tested every year, usually in June, by the NCAA and we have to pass it before we can go out to do recruiting," said Wynn. "Every coach on the staff has to take the test and while there are general rules that go across every sport, every sport also has sport-specific rules. For instance, we have different rules than the men's basketball team has. A sport specific rule for women's basketball is in how our evaluation periods and contact periods are different from men's basketball."

Including your Child's Culture within Your Family
All Adoption Stories
The Changing Face of China Adoptions
Most adoptive families experience sleep issues after coming home. Often, these problems come as a surprise to a family who saw their new son or daughter sleep soundly in their home country. The familiarity of sounds, smells, sights, and time zone can't be underestimated. For most young children, sleeping in a new place can be scary.
Often parents cannot determine why their child is not going to sleep or cannot stay asleep even though the child is tired. In almost all cases, adoptive child sleep issues do not stem from behavioral problems but are most often the physical manifestations of a child's inner struggles with grief, loss and trauma. Because of this, achieving regular healthy sleep can take time. It's development goes hand-in-hand with the emotional and psychological healing that must occur for each child.
Parents who develop and use a plan for healthy sleep find that they are less weary and less overwhelmed. Each child is different, but every child can benefit from an intentional process that cultivates feelings of security while offering tools that can equip the child to relax and get the rest he or she needs. A variety of popular sleep methods exist, but families should be particularly attuned to how these methods might work with a child who has experienced trauma or loss. For example, crying it out, removing daytime naps, and taking away privileges generally don't produce the same kind of results that positive methods like physical reassurance and reliability can. Though it may take longer than we'd hoped, with patience and sensitivity, healthy sleep can be achieved!

IMPERIAL, Calif. (KCRA) —
An Imperial man was videotaped by a neighbor, hitting his stepson with a belt while playing catch.
Anthony Sanchez was arrested on suspicion of felony child abuse after a neighbor caught him on video beating his stepson.
The video was posted on YouTube.
"I don't believe in spanking. I believe in talking one to one," Sacramento parent Antolino Rodriguez said.
Psychologist Tylene Cammack-Barry calls the video "extreme."
"It seems excessive and the punishment doesn't fit the crime," Cammack-Barry said.

Brookline Police seek one, or maybe two, suspects traveling in a white Ford Focus after three men were stabbed and shot in the Boston suburb Wednesday.
All three victims — described as men in their 20s —are in "stable" condition at area hospitals, Brookline Police Chief Daniel O'Leary told reporters. He said the victims were known to police in several communities, but would not elaborate.
Two of the injured were found outside near 75 Harvard Street, he said. A third was found inside an apartment at 198 Saint Paul Street, he said.
At least two were both shot and stabbed, and one was at least stabbed, he said.
"It is very rare that this happens, but by the same token we're ready for things like this," O'Leary said at the press conference.
The vehicle was described as a rental with a New York license plate. Witnesses and cameras at nearby intersections helped police identify the car, O'Leary said.
Brookline police tweeted images of the vehicle Wednesday afternoon.

He said police do not know the identities of the suspects.
Police are investigating whether the two victims on Harvard Street jumped out, or possibly were pushed out, of the vehicle as it sped away from Saint Paul Streeet, he said.
Police are also determining whether another suspect fled on foot, he said.
In response to the violence, several schools took emergency precautions, keeping children at three area schools indoors. Police identified those schools in a tweet as Pierce Elementary School,Amos A. Lawrence School andSt. Mary of the Assumption.
The department also tweeted that officers would be assigned to each of those schools and that students would be released online.

2014 has come and gone. I am sitting in my room listening to children play some game as they shout at each other in Egyptian and Syrian dialects. OMG I have succumb to all that is ex-pat living. This quiet, humdrum passage of time has become the new normal.
Store clerks in malls call me "madam" out of respect, systems for getting things done are altogether different from what I had in the States. But this is home… It's been over a year and yes, I live (not study, not just work) abroad. This reality was solidified as I went through the course of 2014.
For me, last year was one of those quiet, unassuming years, that brought with it much promise but ended as quietly as it began. And now, I sit reflecting on all that I learned through it… and what I should hope for/look towards in 2015.
I can't recall the extent to which I documented things (probably not very well at all) but I traveled quite a bit in 2014, much of it to places I had never been or had any previous connection to: Italy, Cyprus, China (the Mid-west and Western US). So I was thrust, for the first time in a long time, back into the role of foreigner, of tourist.
When you live in the Arabian Gulf, foreigner, I think doesn't really stick as a title. Everyone is foreign (the vast majority) and so we all fit even though we seem like this strange menagerie of colors, tastes and sounds. Food from the Phillipines, the Indian subcontinent, south east Asia and Ethiopia are all within my fingertips (not to mention the Arab World). My neighborhood is a noisy, bustling barrio dominated by Arabs and South Asians with sprinklings of Africans (mostly East siders) and East Asians: I hate it and love it all at once.
Being here has made me realize the extent to which I have internalized a sort of Arab cultural mindset, in the way I dress, interact with others and even see the world in a lot of ways (this was a scary realization)…. it's Egypt that did me in, I think. And it's easier in many ways to weave in and out of communities as this "new" me. In some ways though, I feel like I've confined myself to a system that is not my own, that I didn't ascribe to previously and that I have subconsciously taken on even though I don't have to.
Yes, 2014 made me realize all of this stuff. I guess the post title is a misnomer, because all is not yet elucidated. But, Gazelle, as ever is thinking about next steps.
living here as a single, introverted ex-pat is great. But I would want to have a family life back home or at least somewhere that is not here…. ha ha… and as the fireworks that came with my 30th birthday celebrations (in Cyprus!) should have made clear…. time is ticking….
For lack of a better term, living here has got to be the ultimate "cockblocker"…
I'm just not into any of it (the halal kind or otherwise). People tend to fall into certain categories: the ones who come here already married, the ones who meet the person they will marry here but quickly within the first year or so, and the ones who don't quite make a go at it. I fall into the last category…haha (there are also different classificaitons of ex-pat men that I have deduced, but that is for another post)… but I'm not mad.
Going abroad, it seems always makes me realize how American I am, how proud I am to be American, and how much I love home. It's in no ways perfect, but it's where I grew up and where I have the strongest ties. It's where my roots are grounded and where my heart is.
2014 Marked the 10th straight year in which I traveled outside the US for month or more:
2004- studied abroad in Morocco and Spain
2005- studied abroad in Morocco
2006- Research in Spain and short trip to Morocco
2007- Yemen, and where I started this blog
2008- 5 months in the UK
2009- I rounded out the 4th quarter of the Year in Qatar
2010- Still in Qatar
2011- Rounded out the year in Egypt and the holidays in the UK
2012- Still in Egypt and returned to MOrocco for the summer
2013- Moved to the Gulf
2014- Living in the Gulf with short stints in Cyprus, Italy and China
It's a lot of experiences that I have tried to pack and unpack (some on this blog some not). It's pretty anticlimactic, but 10 years and 35 pounds later… I've realized that I'm a down-home, All American girl. It's been wonderful learning about all these beautiful places and people. It's been rough dealing with harassment, racism, prejudice (both from within and without) but it's been worth it.
It's not like I know all there is know about anything, really. But I guess that is what I've learned the most: there always something new to know, some new place to experience. All in all, Alhamdullilah for 2014 and Alhamdullilah for 2015, 16, 17…. you get the picture.

Good Morning. I sat at my desk this morning to write out my May Love Links for the Essence Creative Team post and the first thing that dawned on me was that I had forgotten to post April's list here. Silly me. My theme for April was stationery. A hard topic for sure, but I managed to narrow it down to these 4 brands.
Rifle Paper Co. / Quill & Fox / Minted / Kikki K
To see the full post and what Caylee is crushing on last month head over here.
P.s. Any ideas for love link themes to would like to see in future?
