Spinner offers private duck and pheasant hunting for owners and members.
In the 1930's the Island became one of the first Duck Clubs in the famous Suisun Marsh. There are over 150 Duck Clubs within a 20 mile radius and Spinner is located at the very end of the clubs in the far southeastern corner.
The property has a long history of excellent hunting for both ducks and pheasant. � We are now fully planted with� Milo, Water Grass, and Piper Sudan - all plants that attract ducks with habitat and feed. We feature great fresh-water ponds with excellent water circulation via our brand-new levee gates. We have 6 tank blinds and 3 brand-new stand-up blinds with outstanding camoflage.
Spinner� Island� is the last club on the southeast corner of the Suisun Marsh - #940 on the SRCD Club Map. � The island has not been hunted in 15 years, and we have spent the first few years of ownership rebuilding our habitat and ponds. We are one of the oldest duck clubs in the Suisun Marsh, and historically one of the best hunting properties due to our boundary location with lots of fresh water.

There is no GOAT. There is no need for a GOAT. I don't think you can compare players across eras even if they play the same position. And you can't compare different positions. Brady is one of the best QBs of the past 20 years. Manning is right there with him. So is Rodgers. Brees as well. Who is to say that Manning, Rodgers, or Brees would not have 7 rings if they played for the Pats and Bucs?? How can anyone compare Brady and Manning to Montana /Elway/Marino? Or Unitas. Or Graham. The game has changed so much to favor the QBs and the passing game. How is Brady better than Ji
How does Leroy Butler picking off a pass that never should have been thrown a testament to Brady? I could go on and on. He is fortunate - over and over. He threw a game ending interception vs KC 4 years ago and it was called back because Ford's finger was offsides. Ford had nothing to do with that play and players line up like that 20-30 times a game. How does Brady get credit for that play?
The GOAT is the best player though. He is not the GOAT.He's just been doing it a high level for a long time. He is the GOAT at taking care of his body. That is if it has all been legal, which, given his history, is quite questionable.
I'm saying that the Pats won some based on plays/players that had nothing to do with Brady. It's a complicated team sport with 22 players on the field and 45 players on each team. Brady played less than half of the plays in playoff games and the Super Bowls and many were decided based on plays that had nothing to do with him because he wasn't even on the field. There is an incredibly huge misconception that QBs win and lose games on their own. OL block or miss blocks, RBs hit a hole or don't or fumble, WRs get open or don't or catch or drop the ball. Players break tackles or trip. Then you
How exactly has Brady "revolutionized" the game??? I don't see that at all. He's not Don Coryell or Bill Walsh. Is his longevity amazing? Yes. Is he smart? Yes. What has he changed that everybody is copying? I don't see it.
He did all by himself. Players like Adam Vinitieri, Mike Vrabel, Willie McGinnest, Wes Welker, Julian Edelman etc and Bill Belichick were just along for the ride. Leroy Butler's play was inspired by Brady and Carroll and Bevell calling a pass play - Brady. The Rams forgetting that they had Marshall Faulk on the team was all Brady. Vinitieri winning the first two SBs with kicks were all Brady. The Falcons all time choke job was all Brady. McNabb puking in the huddle - all Brady. John Casey kicking the kickoff out of bounds - Brady. Then we have the AFC title game and playoff issues. T
Fuzzy Thurston won 6 NFL championships and isn't even in the HOF. How can that be? Marv Fleming won 5 Super Bowls. Is the the best TE of all time? Rings don't make a player the best in a TEAM sport.
Well I guess Gronk is tied with Brady as the GOAT. Is he the best TE ever because of the rings? Please.
Comparing Brady to Ruth or Gretzky is a joke. Brady has played for 22 seasons. His career stats are based on longevity. He led the league in passing a few times. He won 3 MVPs. Ruth won the HR title 12 times and hit more HRs than some teams back then (he only won 1 MVP because back then you could only win it once and then were ineligible ). Gretzky won the scoring title 11 times and won 8 MVPs. Michael Jordan won 10 scoring titles and 5 MVPs in 13 seasons. Brady didn't dominate a sport like these other players did. He was in the same class as Manning, Brees and others from the sa

I'll tell you how. If some other team doesn't want to trade up or provide value for trading up. That's how.
Since the merger
Joe Willie White Shoes replied to Vader's topic in NY Jets Forum
This took a lot of effort. I would like to fill in the blanks and correct some points. Phil Iselin was the other owner in the 1970s and he was a tight wad. Because of this, the Jets lost key players like Biggs and Riggins in an era when there was no reason for teams to lose players. The 70s were mainly bad because though because the Jets drafted horribly. Go back and look at the drafts. The team went on the upswing in the late 70s with some great drafts, particularly in the trenches. Klecko, Gastineau, Lyons, Powell, Fields, Ward. Add in some skill players as well - Walker, McNeil,
People are pining for 2015, but seasons like 2015 were extreme disappointments from 97-10.
Here's what I'm getting at. Cultural impact is behavior that significantly influences or impacts a society's norms, values, beliefs, practices, institutions, as well as the way they live, work, socialize, and act. Jordan was purposely apolitical and non-controversial. He did not take any stands or express any position on any societal issues outside of basketball. So, yes - he was famous and people bought his sneakers and wore his jersey and watched him in silly movies so he impacted some aspect of how they lived. But unlike other athletes that waded into key issues of their times, he had ver
What is his cultural impact exactly? Explain it please. Muhammad Ali had an enormous cultural impact. What did Jordan do off the court other than sell sneakers and Doritos???
He had an economic impact. What exactly was his "cultural" impact? Jordan was all about Jordan and $$$. He had no interest in off the court issues.

The Blue Lake
David Sornig, author
Ten days ago I had the pleasure of attending the official launch of David Sornig's new book, Blue Lake. The lake, also known less flatteringly as the West Melbourne Swamp, was situated just north of where I live in Melbourne's Docklands. In pre-settlement times it was a meeting place and rich hunting ground for Aboriginals, but over time it became a dumping ground and a place to situate noxious trades, then between the wars it then became the home of the notorious Dudley Flats, a shanty town where the lowest of the the low lived. It's now been taken over by the dockland and urban freeways.
David Sornig tells the story through three residents: Elsie Williams, a singer of Afro-Caribbean descent, once billed as "the Coloured Nightingale"; Lauder Rogge, a German-born sailor who, though a naturalised Australian, was interned during World War I; and Jack Peacock, a stunt rider, horse trader and scrap dealer who made a good living on Dudley Flats.
I'm currently about one third through the book and it's proving an interesting read.

Johannes Morus (;  - 1254, buried in November) was a servant of Frederick II of Swabia, Holy Roman Emperor. Johannes was the son of a Saracen slave, beneficiary of an "unusual" social mobility that allowed him to gain considerable political power at the Swabian court of the Kingdom of Sicily, up to the position of Grand Chamberlain (Custodian of the Treasury), to which was added a prominent role in Lucera, under Frederick II and under Frederick's son Conrad IV.

To his Saracen and African origin he also owes his name, which refers to his ethnic origin and the color of his complexion. A bust, with North African features, found in the castle of Lucera, is believed to be a likeness of Johannes. His loyalty to the Swabian dynasty ended in 1254, under Manfred, when Johannes passed to the opposing pro-papal Guelph side. He was subsequently killed by the Saracens of Lucera. In a letter dated November 9, 1254, Pope Innocent IV affirmed Johannes' conversion to the Catholic faith. Upon his death, his office of Grand Chamberlain was the prerogative of Manfred II, Marquise of Maletta.

Q: How do you run container commands on ElasticBeanstalk / Amazon Linux 2? I currently have a Laravel application running on ElasticBeanstalk with the following file running a deployment command for me...
.ebextensions/deployment-commands.config
container_commands:
    01-run-migrations:
        command: "php artisan migrate --force"
        cwd: "/var/app/ondeck"
        leader_only: true

I'm trying to update my PHP version to 7.4 so I need to upgrade to an Amazon Linux 2 server.  This command doesn't seem to work on the new Amazon Linux 2 setup so I'm wondering if it will pickup ebextensions anymore and if so do I need to change the cwd?  Basically what do I need to do to get this deployment command to work?

A:
I'm trying to update my PHP version to 7.4 so I need to upgrade to an Amazon Linux 2 server.

Not sure what do you mean here, but upgrading from Amazon Linux 1 (AL1) to AL2 may require many more changes then just upgrading php:

*Migrating your Elastic Beanstalk Linux application to Amazon Linux 2
container_commands run in staging folder /var/app/staging. But you are trying to use different folder /var/app/ondeck which may be why you don't see the commands effects.

DH Projects
Canadian Modernist Magazines Project
June 12, 2016 September 6, 2019 admin DH Projects
The Canadian Modernist Magazines Project (CMMP) will be a digital repository of modernist periodical literature published in Canada (ca. 1900-1960). The project's primary aim is to digitize and transcribe a selection of Canadian literary "little magazines" so that they can be read, searched, downloaded, analyzed, and taught. As a repository of Canadian modernist periodicals, the CMMP will make important but difficult-to-access literary texts available to scholars as well as to the broader public. But the CMMP will not simply provide easy access to texts; it will also feature critical introductions of select Canadian modernist magazines, tools for computational analysis of the transcribed texts, sample lesson plans, and relevant syllabi.
The CMMP will first digitize complete runs of two foundational Canadian modernist magazines, Preview (1942-44) and First Statement (1942-45). Once these initial digitization goals have been met, the CMMP will have established the editorial processes necessary for the digitization and transcription of additional magazines.
The CMMP is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and a stipend from Editing Modernism in Canada.

The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Gwent has announced the appointment of a new coordinator who will lead on the development and delivery of a brand new service which aims to make a positive and lasting difference to the lives of victims of crime in Gwent.
Gwent PCC Ian Johnston today announced the appointment of Helen Whewell from Abersychan near Pontypool as the Coordinator for Connect Gwent - the new victims' care service which is currently under development and which aims to enhance the quality of support and contact with all victims of crime in Gwent.
Situated in the former Blackwood Police Station Social Club building, Connect Gwent is bringing together a range of agencies and organisations to provide enhanced support which will enable Gwent Police to work more effectively and efficiently with victims of crime. The project is being funded through the Ministry of Justice Victims Services grant which is awarded to PCC Ian Johnston so he can provide enhanced victim related services in Gwent.
Helen began her work with Connect Gwent last week in a role which is designed to ensure victims are supported inside and outside the criminal justice process and that they receive the support, information and guidance they need to cope with their victimisation and recover from it.
From 2002, Helen, who has a BA Honours degree in Philosophy from Essex University, worked as a Welfare Rights Officer for Torfaen County Borough Council. After graduating with a Diploma in Social Work in 2006, she joined the Community Mental Health Team at Newport City Council as a Social Worker where she liaised closely with the Police in supporting people with severe and acute forms of mental distress. She then progressed to the role of Senior Social Worker in the Adult Protection Team in Newport City Council before being appointed Team Manager at the Royal Gwent Hospital Social Services Team. Helen joins Connect Gwent on secondment from Newport City Council.
Excited about her new role, Helen Whewell, said: "It's not often you get a chance to set something up specifically to meet people's needs and I thought this was a fantastic opportunity to make a real positive difference to the lives of victims of crime in Gwent. With my background in social services, I value the importance of meeting people's individual needs and in improving their lives for the future.
Highlighting her vision for the service and what she hopes it will achieve, Helen said: "Connect Gwent will achieve its best results if all the partners who provide support to victims of crime work together. One of the key indicators of our success will be the overall improvement in the satisfaction of victims.
Helen will now be planning and organising regular meetings with key agencies and partners in the community to discuss how they can work together to provide a holistic and supportive service to victims of crime in Gwent.
Welcoming Helen's appointment, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent, Ian Johnston, said: "We were looking for a confident and charismatic individual with experience of working within the criminal justice system to lead on the development and delivery of this service. I am delighted to say that we have found that person in Helen and I would like to congratulate her on securing this leading role in the development of this new service.
A significant amount of work has been undertaken on the design, structure and development of Connect Gwent over the last few months. Construction and renovation work on the physical new home for the hub at Blackwood Police Station is well underway and the project has its own unique identity with the development of a new logo and branding. A new website and a range of social media sites are also being developed in-house by Gwent Police's Digital Communications Team. These new multi-media platforms will play a vital role in providing quick and easy access to a range of online information for all victims of crime in Gwent. Connect Gwent will be up and running by the beginning of April this year with the official launch being planned for the end of May 2015.


Pie dough. I'm a big fan of pies, but I wasn't so happy with my pie dough. I was always stressed about not being able to make a homogenous ball of dough with the pastry blender, or overdoing the butter, or having dough not flexible enough to avoid it breaking into pieces and all the warnings in all the recipes… All my worries vanished after The Italian Dish posted this recipe, with a video tutorial included, to make the most worry free pie dough.
This recipe makes dough for a single crust pie and it marks the beginning of the pie season in my family. I already double it to make two Thanksgiving classics: pumpkin pie and pecan pie.
Place the flour and the sugar in the bowl of a food processor, using the dough blade. Pulse.
Add half of the butter. Pulse a few times.
Add the rest of the butter and keep pulsing until the butter and the flour form coarse crumbs.
Add some of the water and pulse a couple of times, adding more water until the crumbs form a ball.
Take the dough and make a disc. Place it on a floured plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Thank you for saving and sharing this pie dough recipe on Pinterest.
Me cae de perlas esta receta en esta época de manzanas y pies deliciosos!!!
Tambien soy amante de los pie y siempre es un estrés lograr la masa perfecta.. Voy a intentarlo con la tu receta!!!!!
Y me vas a amar! Hahahahahahaha!

Medieval to modern
Professor Gallagher
The tale of the ill-fated lovers Tristan and Iseut may be timeless, but until recently, the only English translation of Joseph Bédier's version of the legend was 70 years old and not wearing particularly well.
Professor of French Edward Gallagher solved the problem. He recently completed a translation of the Romance of Tristan and Iseut, published this spring by Hackett Publishing.
While revising archaic phrases, such as "Parley you and take counsel," Gallagher also added a host of explanatory materials to make the work more accessible for modern readers. The additions include essays on the legend written by Bédier himself and a scene found among the author's papers that he had composed for the novel but never published.
He recently talked about his work on the translation of Bédier's novel, which offers the modern reader a coherent story reconstituted from fragments of Old French tales.
On the syllabus. For a number of years, I've used the French text of Bédier's Roman de Tristan et Iseut in my French 236 course, "Introduction to Early French Literature." In 2011, I taught a First-Year Seminar on "Tales from France" and ordered [an English] translation. I thought I could improve upon that translator's Edwardian prose. I'll now be able to use my own translation in this seminar.
Extra credit. In the appendix to my translation, I was able to include English translations of the original preface to the Romance by Bédier's mentor, Gaston Paris; two articles by Bédier on the medieval Tristan legend; and an unpublished episode that Bédier wrote for his Romance but never published.
Style and substance. Bédier's French is very graceful; his sentences are often short, or, when longer, they flow with a harmonious, classical periodicity. Translating his short novel was a pleasure. Inevitably, there were expressions—feudal, geographic, or religious—that a modern reader might not know. I glossed these in an index of proper names and specialized terms. (For example, Logres for England and Frisia for a region along the North Sea).
Source material. Writing an introduction to the Romance proved challenging for several reasons: the fragmentary nature of the surviving Old French manuscripts; the existence of both "epic" and "lyric" versions of the tale; and the question of the very origin of the story—did it originate in Persia, in the Celtic lands, or was it essentially French? So the "back story" of the medieval legend is a rather complicated one.
Enduring story. It's the nature, the subject matter, of the tale itself that makes the story of Tristan and Iseut such an enduring one. Of course, Wagner's 1865 opera Tristan und Isolde introduced modern audiences to this ancient tale. The resounding success of his opera established the lovers' fatal passion as a given in the modern, popular imagination. Bédier's award-winning novel, too, offers modern readers a chance to savor this beautiful tale of love and death.

DNA-PAINT super-resolution microscopy at speed
Optimized DNA sequences allow for 10-times faster image acquisition in DNA-PAINT.
Recent advances in fluorescence microscopy allow researchers to study biological processes below the classical diffraction limit of light. Ralf Jungmann, Professor for Experimental Physics at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich and research group leader at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, and colleagues developed DNA-PAINT, a variant of these so-called super-resolution approaches. "DNA-PAINT yields super-resolved images using comparably simple microscopes", says Jungmann. The technique uses short, dye-labeled DNA strands that transiently interact with their target-bound complements in order to create the necessary "blinking" for super-resolution reconstruction. This approach enables sub-10-nm spatial resolution and easy multiplexing through the use of orthogonal DNA sequences for different targets.
"During the last years, we have optimized DNA-PAINT in a few key areas. However, one major limitation still persists, which prevents DNA-PAINT to be applied to biomedically relevant high-throughput studies: The rather slow image acquisition speed", says Jungmann. Classical DNA-PAINT experiments can easily last from tens of minutes to hours. "We have checked carefully why this takes so long", says Florian Schüder, lead author of the current study and co-worker in Jungmann's group. "Optimized DNA sequence design and improved image buffer conditions allowed us to speed things up by an order of magnitude", adds Schüder.
From the DNA origami breadboard to cells
In order to quantitatively assess the improvements to DNA-PAINT, the researchers used DNA origami structures, which are self-assembled, nanometer-sized DNA objects autonomously folding into predefined shapes. These structures can be used to arrange DNA-PAINT binding sites spaced precisely at e.g. 5-nm distances. This allowed the researchers to evaluate the speed improvement in DNA-PAINT using well-defined conditions. In a next step, the team applied the speed improvement also to a cellular system. For this, microtubules, which are part of the cytoskeleton, were visualized at super-resolution, 10-times faster than before. "The increased imaging speed allowed us to acquire an area of one square millimeter at a resolution of 20 nm in only 8 hours. This would have taken us almost four days before", explains Schüder.
Ralf Jungmann concludes: "With these current improvements, which allow us to image 10-times faster, we bring DNA-PAINT to the next level. It should now be feasible to apply it to high-throughput studies with biological and biomedical relevance e.g. in diagnostic applications." (Nature Methods 2019)

In this issue I interview artist and author Deborah Koff-Chapin about her innovative healing arts technique called Touch Drawing.
There is also a review the book, Art Heals by Shaun McNiff and a featured link to the International Expressive Art Therapy Association.
Deborah Koff-Chapin is an artist, author, teacher, and founding director of the Center for Touch Drawing. Since 1974, she has been working with the healing arts technique of Touch Drawing and sharing it with many others through her books, tapes, workshops, and more. Deborah is an adjunct professor at California Institute of Integral Studies and University of Creation Spirituality. She is also the creator of Soul Cards 1&2 and the author of Drawing Out Your Soul: The Touch Drawing Handbook and The Touch Drawing Facilitator Workbook. Mary Daniel Hobson of the Arts & Healing Network interviewed Deborah in June 2005 about her work with Touch Drawing and the healing power of art.
Mary Daniel Hobson: Describe the process of Touch Drawing and how you discovered it.
Deborah Koff-Chapin: The best way to describe the process is to describe my first time doing it. On my last day of art school in 1974, I was helping a friend clean up in the print studio. In the instant before wiping a paper towel across an inked glass plate, I had the impulse to play. I moved my fingertips across the paper towel and lifted it. My touch left marks on the underside of the paper where it had been pressed into the ink... I laughed ecstatically at the experience of lines coming directly from my fingertips! I gathered up discarded paper towels and did more. At first they were organic, flowing lines. Then I realized I could form childlike faces and figures through the movements of my fingertips on the paper.
I am sure that I am not the first person to ever make an imprint on paper this way. But something more happened on that day. As I created those first drawings, the flow of energy through my fingertips blasted open a channel to a vast source of energy. With deep respect for the term, I can honestly say that it felt like a revelation. I had a profound sense something was being activated that was much larger than a personal artistic technique. I had a knowing that this was a dynamic process meant to serve many human beings as a new form of expression in future times. It was a gift from another level of being. With this gift came a responsibility. Somehow I would have to bring this process into the world. The rest of my life was to be "constellated" around this cause.
Mary Daniel: Please explain how Touch Drawing allows people to connect to such a deep part of themselves.
Deborah: In contrast to holding a drawing implement with a clenched fist, the hands are open. The movement of fingertips on paper releases the flow of energy through the body. It is also very natural to draw with both hands, though drawing with a single hand is still completely different from holding a drawing implement.
The focus is on process rather than product. There is permission to create drawings that are just scribbles – scratchy releases of energy or expressions of pain. But with this freedom and release comes an ease that also allows for surprisingly graceful, articulate images to be drawn.
The speed with which a single drawing can be created allows for multiple drawings to happen in one session. As soon as one drawing is done, you lay it aside and do another. The common fear of the blank sheet of paper is more easily overcome as you move swiftly from one sheet to another. Rather than create a singular image with a single pointed, projectile tool, you give birth to multiple images that pour out of your body through your fingertips. The completed series is a progression of images that reflects transformations in your state during the drawing session. You can later reflect upon the series of drawings and explore their significance.
Mary Daniel: One of things that so impresses me about Touch Drawing is the way in which it has spread from you, the originator, out into the larger world, where others are using this tool as a healing catalyst – from traumatized children in Gaza, Palestine, to nervous pregnant women in Canada. Tell me about how you made the leap from working with Touch Drawing yourself to having so many others know about it and use it for such great purposes?
Deborah: I was twenty-two years old when I began Touch Drawing. Though I knew instantly that I had received a calling to share it with others, I had no idea how this was to happen. But I trusted it would unfold as it should. First of all, I DID IT MYSELF. It was my personal lifeline. But even in my most private, primal moments I felt that I was doing it on behalf of a larger purpose.
In the early years, I thought that all I had to do was to show the process to people, they would "get it" and just start doing it on their own. But it wasn't quite that simple. People were fascinated with seeing the process, but that didn't mean they would run out to find the materials and start doing it themselves. In the later 70's I began to do Touch Drawing with friends and children in my studio.
Gradually a form of group workshop evolved. I wanted to support people going deeply into themselves while drawing without intruding on their personal experience. So I began to "hold the space" while they drew with live music. I used simple instruments like a drum and chimes along with my voice, which is my true "instrument." I began to add some non-obtrusive suggestions to help people get oriented within themselves as they drew. In the 1970's I also studied with Jean Houston and was involved with a deep improvisational ceremonial with Elizabeth Cogburn. These two teachers helped me develop a sense of the relationship between personal process and group energy. They informed my approach to teaching in more ways than I can say here, and I would like to acknowledge that.
By the 1990's, I began to realize I needed to find a way for people to begin Touch Drawing without depending on me to go give a workshop. Over the next few years, I produced several different media, including a video, an audio version of my workshop, a book, and a workbook for people who are interested in facilitating Touch Drawing. I also became more intentional about who I would offer workshops to. I began to become more focused on getting Touch Drawing into the hands of people who are skilled in their own specialties, and encouraging them to share it with others.
In 1997 I convened the first annual Touch Drawing Gathering – a five-day immersion, weaving Touch Drawing with other expressive arts. The Gathering has helped me develop a sense of community around the process. It is a gift to now have others in my life who share a sense of Touch Drawing as a calling. The Gathering is truly a sacred event for me and I think, those who attend.
I have also developed relationships with several organizations and educational institutions. I am particularly connected to the International Expressive Art Therapy Association (IEATA). They welcomed me in when I felt like an outsider artist. The vision of this organization is to support the healing power of ALL art forms in a broad range of contexts. The American Art Therapy Association has been embracing Touch Drawing as well, which is truly an honor.
So as you can see it has been a long-term commitment. Very gradually, the seeds of Touch Drawing have been spreading.
Mary Daniel: Do you believe art can heal, and if so how?
Deborah: When you open the channels of expression, through engaging the creative processes, a clearing can happen that allows the life force to flow more fully through your body. The act of creation can redeem even the most painful experience.
One of the dysfuctions of our current popular culture is that people feel that there is no use creating if they can't be "successful" artists, but there is room for so few artists to be "successful" in mass culture. The emergence of the creative art therapies has catalyzed the reclamation of the creative process in people's lives. People are hungering for this. I would like to suggest that we, as healing artists, extend the concept beyond the use of artistic expression to heal something that is broken. Engagement with creative process is an important part of maintaining our health as human beings. Imagine expressive art studios as common as gyms are today!
Mary Daniel: What are you most excited about right now with your work?
Deborah: I am excited to sense that Touch Drawing is coming into a stronger presence in the world. I recently did a workshop for 75 hospice volunteers. I will be introducing it to a number of nurses later this summer. This strange, "chicken-scratch" process that I began doing 31 years ago is beginning to have a real presence in the world.
In terms of my own artwork, drawing in service brings me much more energy than private work in the studio. I have been working with some medical futurists who use my ability to listen to content and interpret it into images in their work with hospital executives. They have really been integrating my images into their transformational work. I also love to spend time drawing outside as a way to open to the spirit of the natural world.
Another exciting project that has been emerging in the last few weeks is a collaboration with another artist to create banners and posters of our images to benefit peace work. Our first step will be in Washington DC this September, where the images will be hung around several locations in association with a peace conference. This project is coming on really fast. We will see where it takes us!
Mary Daniel: How do you sustain the good work you are doing?
Deborah: Financially, I operate on a business model. But there are many facets of my work that could be considered in the non-profit realm, like the development of the Touch Drawing Community Network, database, e-newsletter, etc. The business aspect of Touch Drawing is product sales, educational media, and art materials. I began publishing the Soul Cards in 1995 which have become the most fulfilling way of making my own images accessible for deep use by others. Ongoing income from the sale of my Soul Cards has helped cover the endless expenses that I have running the Center for Touch Drawing.
The challenge is that there is not much left to actually pay myself. It varies from year to year. If I weren't in a supportive marriage, it would be really difficult to stay afloat. But I have been able to finance the development of Touch Drawing in the world without grants or fundraising. I do feel that in the long run, a non-profit association will come into being to support the existence of Touch Drawing beyond my personal efforts.
Mary Daniel: What advice do you have for other artists who are seeking to use their creativity to help others?
Deborah: Do what you can do, right now! Don't try to have it all figured out before you act. We are all pioneers in this. There is no path laid out, but the path will unfold before you if you take the step that is right there to take. In those first moments that I experienced Touch Drawing I could never have imagined the specifics of how it would all unfold. Trust the Great Mystery to guide you and take the next step.

In Art Heals: How Creativity Cures the Soul, Shaun McNiff, a leader in the arts and healing field, brings together the "greatest hits" of Art & Healing, offering us a wide range of his essays, written over the course of his career. Each one addresses a different aspect of how art heals.
Arranged thematically, rather than chronologically, they outline a path toward a deeper understanding of the healing arts from creating the space, working with groups, and interpreting the imagery, to art therapy's connection with shamanism and the work of Carl Gustav Jung, the healing energy of creativity, the use of new media, and the art of collaboration. This book is a resource whose value extends beyond traditional art therapy, providing useful insights for anyone wishing to work with creativity as a healing force.
As an artist committed to healing, I cannot begin to be of use to others until I am attentive to the transformations of the healing and creative process within myself. Everyday I rediscover that the things that annoy and disturb me are potential sources of creative power, and even satisfaction.
Let me offer an example from my life. In my work as a college dean during the late 1970's, I was constantly attending meetings. The time spent in meetings was taking me further and further away from my identity as an artist and therapist. I was only infrequently in my studio. My frustrations grew, and I considered doing what many had done before – leaving my administrative work because it was estranging me from creativity and healing. Then it occurred to me that the cause of the estrangement was not the work, but myself. The job was a plentiful resource of energy, manifesting itself in conflict. I was not, however, responding to it creatively. I told myself that if I truly believed that art could transform tension, I should apply this principle in my own life. My "studio" could be anywhere, even a hotel conference room. If I could make art from those tedious sessions and still participate actively in them, then my theory of transformation would prove itself to be true.
I began by making drawings during the meetings – representations of what I felt and saw. The drawings were then developed into paintings. The process built a bridge to my studio at home. I went there more often and began to integrate the negative energy of the meetings with art. I created hundreds of paintings and drawings in a series that continued through a two-year period. I was amazed to find that I began to enjoy the meetings and actually looked forward to them. After a summer vacation at my home by the sea, a haven for artists, I began to sharpen my pencils for the fall schedule of meetings. I was transforming a real source of conflict into art. Rather than interrupt concentration during the meetings, my drawings helped me to become even more attentive. I was focused, in a much deeper way, upon the total context, the purpose of the gathering, the nonverbal gestures, the body language, and more importantly, the people present.
In my journal writing I tried to deepen the insights that I received by transforming the meetings into art. I kept telling myself that conflict defines what needs attention in our lives; that the strongest forms are forged in the most intense heat (the alchemist's fire and furnace); that the power of conflict is one of the great continuities of human history; that I must plug into the power of my pain and anger and express them – get them out!"
This book was published by Shambhala in 2004.

SCARBOROUGH — The maiden flight of a Scarborough man's new airplane ended Friday with a dive and a crash, injuring the plane's owner and its pilot.
Jeff Greenleaf, 40, bought the aircraft last winter, according to Fire Chief Michael Thurlow. The plane was a single-engine Kitfox experimental plane, a build-at-home class of small aircraft.
Thurlow said Greenleaf had permission from his friend Fred Bayley, owner of Bayley's Camping Resort, to use Bayley's private airstrip on Ross Road for the inaugural flight.
Greenleaf enlisted his friend, Perry Fielding, a 63-year-old Scarborough pilot, to fly the craft.
Shortly after 6 p.m. Friday, after being airborne for only a few seconds, the plane carrying the two men crashed in a field off Ross Road.
Fielding was healing Monday and declined comment, but his wife, Stephanie, said in an interview that her husband has been flying for four decades. She said he is a recreational pilot and has always practiced safety.
Stephanie Fielding said Greenleaf enlisted her husband to fly the plane because he owns a similar aircraft. She said the two men had "talked and gone over everything for months" before taking off on June 10.
Stephanie Fielding said her husband didn't remember what happened after takeoff, but said he believed a gust of wind may have caused the plane to dive. Fire Chief Thurlow said the craft had made it about 100 feet off the ground before crashing.
After the crash, Greenleaf pulled himself and an unconscious Perry Fielding out of the craft before calling 911, Thurlow said.
After Scarborough police, fire and EMS units arrived at the scene, both men were taken to Maine Medical Center in Portland with what police said were "serious injuries." Thurlow said Greenleaf was released Friday night.
Scarborough public safety officials said the official cause of the crash is still unknown.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the crash. A spokeswoman for the FAA said it could be weeks or months before information is released.

CSRS / In The News / Yanez Moree and Burt Perkins attended the NRA Show!
Yanez Moree and Burt Perkins attended the NRA Show!
Yanez Moree and Burton Perkins attended the 2018 National Restaurant Association (NRA) Show this past week in Chicago. Each year, the NRA Show provides an opportunity for attendees to discover the latest innovations in the food and beverage industry and network with over 66,000 food service professionals from around the world. This year's show featured a jam-packed schedule of over 100 events that took place over 4 action-packed days.
As architects, Nez and Burt found themselves among a special assembly of many restaurateurs, buyers, vendors, and venture groups. They used the 4-day experience to share with other attendees CSRS' firm belief in sustainable architecture, design for adaptive reuse, and extensive experience in creating highly-functional, chef-friendly restaurants. It was an excellent opportunity for Nez and Burt to explain how CSRS' innovative technology and passion for design creates inspirational and one-of-a-kind appealing spaces for growing their businesses.
Though not on a specific product-buying pursuit, Nez and Burt found significant advantages in talking with vendors about the various products that our clients use on their projects. Nez and Burt gained valuable information about the source of materials, production, factory locations, availability per region, and more. It was an exciting and valuable learning experience for each of them!
A Very Busy LCTCS Team!
