I temporarily interrupt my Ladies Of Fern Hill set for my 52 photo.

Since I dropped from running 25 miles a week a year ago to...oh, zero... I've put on some weight. After the hamstring injury was the butt bursa injury and then the tripping on the last basement step foot sprain injury.

This is maybe the second time I've worn pants since I moved up here. I've collected a lot of lovely dresses.

It's not just the weight...it's the no running thing that's driving me nuts. It was my meditation. My freedom. And I've been longing to start up again. Which I think will be this week on the treadmill at the gym down the street.

So, all of my bitching and moaning that I've been doing about the whole "I don't fit into my pants" BS was put into a bit of perspective today during my massage by Jeffry, the massage therapist.

He's been blind since after high school. He was on the track team back then and still runs today. He holds onto a handkerchief while his running partner guides him.

I think I'll be okay.

1984 Coca Cola / Indianapolis Colts Football Team Issued Black & White 5 x 7 Cards with Blank Backs - Autographed / Hand Signed by Raúl Allegre / Kicker by Treasures from the Past

Raúl Allegre - Raúl Enrique Allegre Rodríguez (born June 15, 1959) is a Mexican former professional football kicker in the National Football League for the Baltimore / Indianapolis Colts, New York Giants, and New York Jets. He played college football at Montana and Texas and was signed by the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent after the 1983 NFL draft.

Allegre was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Dallas Cowboys after the 1983 NFL draft, where he had to go through a try out session. On August 23, he was traded to the Baltimore Colts, in exchange for a ninth round draft choice (#232-John Hunt). As a rookie, he made 30 field goals (franchise record) out of 35 attempts and 22 out of 24 extra points, for an 85.7% average (franchise record) and a total of 112 points (franchise record). He tied a franchise record by making 5 field goals against the Philadelphia Eagles.

In 1984, he missed 3 preseason games with a bruised heel. He injured a hamstring in the season opener and missed the next 4 contests, only appearing in 12 games. Dean Biasucci replaced him from the second to the sixth game and would remain as a kickoff specialist for the rest of the season. Allegre did not make a field goal until the eighth game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He connected on 11-for-18 field goal attempts (61.1%) and had a perfect 14-for-14 on extra point attempts.

In 1985, he made 16-of 26 field goal attempts, for a low 61.5% average and was 36-of-39 on extra points. On September 4, 1986, he was waived by the then Indianapolis Colts, after Biasucci passed him on the depth chart.

In 1986, after New York Giants' kicker Ali Haji-Sheikh was injured, the team began auditions to find a replacement. Allegre's two-week tryout was successful, kicking a 57-yard field goal that convinced Coach Bill Parcells to sign him. Because Allegre decided to call his agent before signing the contract, Parcells decided to cancel the deal, signing instead Joe Cooper. After three ineffective performances by Cooper, Parcells called Allegre back and signed him on September 25, becoming the team's sixth kicker in 19 games. During the team's Super Bowl run in 1986, he kicked game-winning field goals in consecutive weeks in a crucial mid-season stretch.[4] Allegre kicked the opening kickoff of Super Bowl XXI, with the announcer stating that "Raúl Allegre, will kick off, number 2" just before the contest began.

In 1990, he began the season as the starting kicker, before suffering an injury and clearing the way for Matt Bahr. He also did not kick in Super Bowl XXV after being replaced by Bahr in late September.

On May 22, 1991, he was released in favor of Bahr. On August 8, he signed as a free agent with the Houston Oilers. He missed a field goal against the Atlanta Falcons in preseason, before losing the position battle to Ian Howfield and being released on August 19. On October 24, he was re-signed by the Giants after Bahr suffered a thigh injury. He was cut on November 30. At the time he ranked ninth on the franchise's All-time scoring list, having made 77 out of 103 (74.8%) field goals.

On December 16, 1991, he was signed by the New York Jets to replace an injured Pat Leahy who suffered from sciatica, causing him pain in the back, hip and upper leg which would lead to Leahy's retirement. In the season finale at Miami, Allegre tied the score in the waning moments and later won the game 23-20 and a playoff berth for the Jets in an overtime thriller. He also kicked in the playoff loss against the Houston Oilers.

Allegre lost the competition for the kicker's spot on the Jets roster in training camp to Plan B free agency addition Jason Staurovsky and was released on August 28, 1992. He later decided to retire due to a back injury.

During his nine professional seasons, Allegre made 137 field goals in 186 attempts, scored 183 extra points for 594 points and didn't have any attempt blocked.

Elephants from the air in Zakouma National Park in Chad by inyathi

6 2

As they tend to keep to parks the thicker bush and woodland where they feel more secure Zakouma's elephants are easier to spot from the air.

For roughly 6 months of the year between June and November Zakouma National Park is almost entirely inundated with floodwaters at this time elephants would often disperse into the surrounding area of what is now the Salamat Faunal Reserve. During this time Arab horsemen from the Darfur region of neighbouring Sudan would come to hunt the elephants as they had done for perhaps several hundred years. Traditionally a group of up to 20 horsemen armed with lances would charge a herd aiming to separate out one of the elephants. A single horseman would then ride in front of this elephant to draw its attention and get it to pursue him allowing the other men to ride in and spear it from behind with their lances. They would aim for the elephant’s hamstrings in its hind legs which if severed would bring the animal down and ensure it could not get up again. Huge numbers of elephants were killed this way and in response the surviving herds in the region have learned that at the first sign of horsemen their best defence is bunch up into tight groups to ensure that no individual can be separated out.

Today this is no defence the horsemen are Janjaweed militiamen and members of the Sudanese armed forces and they come not with the lances used by their ancestors but with AK47s, belt-fed machine guns and rocket propelled grenades. This habit of bunching up into a single large herd has meant that the poachers can easily kill 50-60 elephants in a single attack by simply machine gunning the terrified animals as they try to escape. In 2005 an aerial count found 3,885 elephants in Zakouma and the surrounding area in under a decade the population was reduced to just 430 and had stopped breeding due to the constant stress. Since African Parks took over Zakouma the poaching has been almost entirely stopped and the elephants are breeding again at the time this photo was taken in 2014 the population was 450 now in 2015 it stands at around 470.

This photo is what I like to call artistically blurred It's not quite what I intended at the time but I quite like it all the same, though not perhasp as much as I would if it was pin sharp :-)

Into the Seyal Bush, elephants in Zakouma National Park in Chad by inyathi

After so many years of poaching most of Zakouma's elephants still generally stick together in a single big herd and often keep to the thick bush making them difficult to find.

Spinal extension....The abductor muscles hold the thighs together....The following points through the body are lifted upward: the arches of the feet, the pelvic floor, the lower abdomen, the rib cage, cervical spine, and the top of the head. by Hughes Songe

Urdhva Vrikshasana (IPA: [uːrd̪ʱʋɐʋr̩kʂɑːsɐnɐ]; Sanskrit: ऊर्ध्व वृक्षासन: Ūrdhva Vṛkṣāsana) is an asana. An English translation for this asana is "Upward Tree Position". In Ashtanga Yoga it is the first asana of Surya Namaskara. In some instances this asana may also be called Tadasana, depending on the practitioner's yoga style and lineage.

This asana or its variations may also be known a Urdhva Hastasana : Ūrdhva Hāstāsana; Sanskrit: ऊर्ध्व हास्तासन; IPA: [uːrdʰʋɐ hɐːstɐːsɐna]), meaning "Upward Hands Pose".Etymology: This compound noun phrase comes from Sanskrit: urdhva (Sanskrit: ऊर्ध्व, Sanskrit: ūrdhva) meaning "up, upwards"; vriksha (Sanskrit: वृक्ष, Sanskrit: vṛkṣa) meaning "tree, especially with visible blossoms or fruits"; and asana (Sanskrit: आसन, Sanskrit: Āsana) meaning "pose". This asana or variations of it may also be called Ūrdhva Hāstāsana. From Sanskrit: urdhva (Sanskrit: ऊर्ध्व, Sanskrit: ūrdhva) meaning "up, upwards";[6] hasta (Sanskrit: , Sanskrit: hāsta) meaning "formed with the hands"; asana (Sanskrit: आसन, Sanskrit: Āsana) meaning "pose". In some instances this asana may also be called Tadasana (meaning "mountain pose"), depending on the practitioner's yoga style and lineage.Description; Samasthitiḥ serves as a base for Ūrdhva Vṛkṣāsana. The legs remain unchanged, however the arms and gaze are upward. Drishti;In yoga, the dṛṣṭi the location of the gaze.The dṛṣṭi for Ūrdhva Vṛkṣāsana is the Aṅguṣṭhamadhye dṛṣṭi Bandhas

Mūla Bandha and Uḍḍiyāna Bandha are active. As the head is raised, the Jālandhara bandha is not engaged.Variations; In some instances this asana may also be called Tadasana (meaning "mountain pose"), depending on the practitioner's yoga style and lineage. The vanilla Vrikshasana has many similarities as well. Urdhva Hastasana

Man performing Ūrdhva Hāstāsana from the front Ūrdhva Hāstāsana is a similar asana wherein the hands are not touching and the gaze is forward. It can also be preformed with the thumbs interlocked. Props A belt can be used to improve the stretch. A loop is made that is around shoulder width (or slightly less) and the arms are raised to press outward on the belt. The pressure is initiated with the arms at shoulder height, then the shoulders are "softened" and brought downward, back into position, before raising the arms up above the head to the full asana. This is usually performed with the hands apart, as the pressure exerted by the arms is outward. This technique can be especially helpful for raised arm inversions. Yoga styles and context In some styles of yoga leaning backward may be considered a variation of Ūrdhva Vṛkṣāsana and be substituted for it in Surya Namaskara vinyasas. Surya Namaskara In Surya Namaskara, Ūrdhva Vṛkṣāsana is an important part of many styles of yoga, particularly Ashtanga Yoga, and is the first vinyasa of the series (following the starting asana, samasthitih). Ashtanga Yog ;In Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Ūrdhva Vṛkṣāsana appears as part of full vinyasas throughout the practice.

Vinyasa Krama Yoga In Vinyasa Krama Yoga, Tāḍāsana is performed on the toes with the arms raised, and is similar to Ūrdhva Vṛkṣāsana, except that the gaze is not raised, and the hands interlock. Various standing vinyasas from Vinyasa Krama Yoga also include flat footed standing position with the arms raised and fingers interlocked (Urdhva Baddhanguliyasana. Key aspects As with most asanas, when entering into Ūrdhva Vṛkṣāsana, distal body parts are best arranged first, progressively adjusting in-wards and putting proximal body parts in place last. Given that Ūrdhva Vṛkṣāsana uses Samasthitiḥ as its base, some key aspects are similar, while others differ. Key aspects in common with Samasthitiḥ Feet are together or if apart, then the heels and big toes are in one line pointing straight forward.Feet are stretched on the floor, including metatarsals and each individual toe. Feet "ground" primarily through the three points which make up the foot's three arches: the calcaneal tuberosity (heel), the base of the first metatarsal (the big toe "knuckle"), and the base of the fifth metatarsal (little toe "knuckle"). The weight is not placed on the inside edge of the feet (which would negatively affect posture throughout the body. Knees are tightened (in effect, the knee caps pulled up) and facing forward. Keeping the balls of the feet grounded, and activating muscles to separate the soles of the feet (which are not allowed to move because of friction with the mat), may help internally rotate the thighs, turn the femurs inward and keep the kneecaps facing forward. Hips and buttocks (upper thigh muscles) are contracted (upwards). Weight is distributed evenly between heels and toes, with the pelvis centered and body in-line. The pelvis is centered when the tendons which connect the sartorius and rectus femoris muscles to the pelvis is half way between being pulled tight, and relaxed. Weight is distributed evenly between the two hips (equally between the two legs/feet), making the left and right hips level with each other. Pelvis exhibits neutral tilt (neither tilted forward nor backwards). Usually this means the pubic symphysis and anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) are in one vertical plane, neither in front of the other. There is a moderate inward curve the lower back due to the neutral pelvic tilt.

The chest is broad. The shoulders are rolled back (with the head of the humerus centered in the joint), and shoulder blades pulled down the back and inwards (not "winging, but not "pinched" together).The shoulders may be "looped" (lifted slightly, then brought back and down) to achieve this. Key aspects for asanas with arms raised Mūla Bandha and Uḍḍiyāna Bandha are active, but Jālandhara bandha is not. The gaze is toward the Aṅguṣṭhamadhye dṛṣṭi (thumbs). An additional downward engagement and external rotation of the shoulders (anatomically external) is maintained from before the initial arm raise throughout the asana (to prevent a rotator cuff injury).This is accomplished by "keeping the armpits down, while the arms rise", and "broadening the shoulder blades". The hands are rotated thumbs to the outside before raising the arms to prevent shoulder injury. Although looking upward, the head is not "thrown back" allowing the neck to collapse, but rather the chin is raised and neck supported and extended. Effects Given that Ūrdhva Vṛkṣāsana uses Samasthitiḥ as its base, some effects are similar. For instance: The asana strengthens the abdomen and the legs. It may help relieve sciatica and reduce flat feet. It helps plantar fasciitis and heel spurs by improving the strength of deeper foot muscles which support your foot, and reducing the load on the less suited plantar fascia. Given the upward position of the arms and neck, there are additional effects: The thoracic cavity and rib structures including the intercostal muscles are stretched and the thoracic cavity expanded increasing lung capacity. Raising the arms in standing asanas like Ūrdhva Vṛkṣāsana and its variations “increases the heat created by the asanas, and is beneficial for [reducing excess] kapha

Raising the arms makes diaphragmatic breathing come more naturally, restricting thoracic significantly, and abdominal breathing only slightly. Cautions;Given that Ūrdhva Vṛkṣāsana uses Samasthitiḥ as its base, some cautions are similar including: Due to the effects of standing, prolonged practice of a standing asana like Ūrdhva Vṛkṣāsana should be done with caution by those who suffer from headaches, insomnia, or low blood pressure.

It is advised to maintain a degree of muscle tension in this asana. Moderate tension in the thighs and hips can help develop positive habits and can increase the musculature in those areas which can help prevent injury. Additionally maintaining a degree of tension requires awareness, which can help prevent injury itself. This habit can be beneficial throughout yoga practice. Hyper extension of the knee can compresses the knee joint and can strain the medial meniscus, causing knee problems. Since the feet serve as a foundation for the rest of the body in this and other standing asanas, the position of the feet is of high importance. One change in the position of your feet affects posture throughout your body.

Scapulo-humeral rhythm of arm raising Given the commonality of raising the arms, the complexity of the motion may be overlooked. In fact, the scapulo-humeral rhythm of the motion is important to avoid a repetitive motion induced shoulder injury. If the humerus is in the neutral position (unrotated) when the supraspinatus muscle contracts, the supraspinatus tendon can be sandwiched between the acromion (bone) and greater tubricle of the humerus (bone) leading to a common rotator cuff injury: an inflamed, frayed, or torn supraspinatus tendon. Prevention is simply a matter of: Initiating the movement with an external rotation of the arm (thumb moving outward). This movement is preformed primarily by the infraspinatus and teres minor. "Cinching down" the humerus to create space between the acromion and humerus. The cinching action can be aided by the subscapularis muscle, though its relaxation is required to accomplish the arms initial outward rotation.

While the critical time to initiation these forces is before the arm raise begins, both the rotation and the downward engagement are engaged for the duration of the arm raise.

Spinal extension

The role of the latimus dorsi is subtle, as "tight latissimus dorsi can pull the spine into too much of a lumbar curve". Further, "if the latissimus dorsi are used to do the spinal extension , they will interfere with the lifting and lateral rotation of the arms".

Anatomy Thought there are differences between individuals, this is a general anatomical description of the body in Ūrdhva Vṛkṣāsana. As an upright standing asana:

The curves of the lumbar, thoracic, and cervical exhibit mild axial extension.

The erector spinae and quadratus lumborum lift and straighten the spine. A downward release exists in the following parts of the body: the shoulder blades (supported by the rib cage), the tailbone, and in the foot at the heel (Calcaneus), and the first and fifth metatarsals (the three of which serve as primary contact points with the ground). The shoulders should not be thrown back, but simply relaxed neutrally. Given that Ūrdhva Vṛkṣāsana uses Samasthitiḥ as its base, some anatomy points are similar. The following apply primarily to the lower portion of the body being similar in position in Samasthitiḥ:

The ankle and hip joints are neutral, halfway between flexion and extension, This means the feet are flat and parallel. (in a distal position). The knees are straight, but not hyper-extended. Further, the kneecaps are lifted by the quadriceps femoris and the ischial tuberosites maintain tension via the hamstrings. The abductor muscles hold the thighs together. Activating the tensor fasciae latae and gluteus medius will help internally rotate the thighs, turn the femurs inward and keep the kneecaps facing forward.

The following points through the body are lifted upward: the arches of the feet, the pelvic floor, the lower abdomen, the rib cage, cervical spine, and the top of the head. In this position, akin to standing "smartly", the action of standing erect should do most of the lifting without much special effort from the subject. Anatomical states for asanas with arms raised above the head. The following anatomical description applies to asanas which have the arms raised above the head: The head is tilted back on the C1 vertebrae, allowing the chin to move upwards, but keeping the neck supported and lengthened. This both lengthens and/or works the following anterior neck muscles: rectus capitis, longus capitis, longus colli, verticalis, scalenes (worked [eccentrically]). The spine is extended working the spinal extensors and rectus abdominis (eccentrically), but ideally not the latissimus dorsi. The rectus abdominis is simultaneously lengthened in this action, along with the external obliques and latissimus dorsi. The shoulder flexion of the arm raise engages the serratus anterior, anterior and middle deltoids, upper trapezius, infraspinatus (used to externally rotate the arms), and pectoralis major and minor.The tricepts also play a hand in rotating the scapula. The middle trapezius and rhomboids engage to open the chest and keep the shoulders wide and back. The lower trapezius also brings the shoulders downward, away from the ears. The tricepts extend the elbows. Since the extensors in the arms are being worked while flexors are only playing their role as antagonists, the antagonists often limit the extensors; for instance, the practitioner may be unable to fully extend the elbow joint, or raise the arms fully. As the hands are raised over the head, the thoracic cavity and rib structures including the intercostal muscles are stretched and the thoracic cavity expanded increasing lung capacity. A slight back bend could be included to accentuate the effect and stretch the front of the body, chest and ribs more, and in fact some styles of yoga include this aspect in their Ūrdhva Vṛkṣāsana.

Extended Hand to Big Toe Pose by Charles Wills

Extended Hand to Big Toe Pose is a challenging standing balancing posture that requires rooted footing through the standing leg, activation of the core muscles/Uddyana Bandha, a focused gaze/Drishti onto a non-moving spot, lots of length/flexibility in the hamstring of the outstretched leg, which means some preparatory postures will be helpful and a must to prevent injuries. This posture can be practiced on the mat in a reclined position also using a strap, especially for those with stiff backs or tight hamstrings. Repeat the posture on both sides of the body. Practice holding the pose for as many long and steady Ujjayi breaths as the standing leg can hold.

“...we can achieve a meaningful existence by maintaining a positive outlook, following our bliss, and doing a few hamstring stretches as the planet burns.” ―Laurie Penny by anokarina

“The slow collapse of the social contract is the backdrop for a modern mania for clean eating, healthy living, personal productivity, and ‘radical self-love’—the insistence that, in spite of all evidence to the contrary, we can achieve a meaningful existence by maintaining a positive outlook, following our bliss, and doing a few hamstring stretches as the planet burns.” ―Laurie Penny
