CDW offers a diverse and exciting set of programs for adults. We welcome people with all skill levels, and offer classes that allow everyone to learn something new. Whether you're looking for high-energy dance, relaxation, or the chance to play music with some of the best, you'll find it at Cumberland Dance Week.
The camp typically features adults classes in contras, squares, English Country Dance, ritual dance, international, partner dances, music, crafts, and nature.
Our classes are taught by experts in their fields. Check out our schedule and class descriptions for details about this year's class offerings, and see our staff list to learn about our class leaders.
Teens jump into the adult programming with the addition of a teens only class.
Introduce your child to history and culture in a whole new way. They'll explore America's rich heritage through music, dance, and craft, and find out about other cultures in a way they'll never forget. Our youth program is fun and challenging and takes place in a warm atmosphere of friends and family.
The Youth Program is divided into separate tracks for children 0-4, 5-7, 8-9, 10-12 with age-appropriate instruction for each group. Dance classes include live music!
Childgrove is a gem of a program for our youngest campers aged 0-5. Our engaging rhythm for our days includes outdoor movement, circle time, focused craft, and interactive creative play. Each day we explore a folk art and tradition such as gardening, baking, fiber arts, and more through story, song, craft, and play. At the end of the week the kids return home with new crafts in their hands, new songs in their heads, and new friends in their hearts. You CAN have a successful camp experience with us!
* Infants are welcome with their parents. Parents of infants are also welcome to take their babes in secure carriers to the adult classes.*
Our exuberant revelers, ages 6-8, have no shortage of joy to experience. From sharing games, music and dancing with playful guidance, to creating, crafting, and exploring the nature around us, these kids experience being part of a larger community and creating amazing bonds with their peers.
The older kids, ages 9-12, are ready for their part to play so... we gave them a mummers play! Through out the week the mummers will be working, in secret, to develop a play for us. Mummers collaborate weaving story together with our own settings and happenings through out the week. They will craft pieces of costumes and props needed and learn a dance to integrate into their surprise performance.
Live music is featured throughout the daily schedule.
During the evening dance, parents enjoy themselves on the dance floor while their children are tucked away in bed, checked on periodically by monitors.
Terpsichore's Dance Holiday
Check out our winter sister, Terpsichore's Dance Holiday, a family dance week that begins a few days after Christmas and rings in the New Year with dancing and music.
Our Sponsor
Cumberland Dance Week and Terpsichore's Dance Holiday are sponsored by the Lloyd Shaw Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and teaching of the folk dances of America. LSF's work is intended to share a diverse range of dance and music with an intergenerational audience, develop leadership in dance and music to ensure its continuity, retain records which document the past, present, and future of American dance and promote fellowship and enjoyment through the production of dance events, music, and dance materials.

30th July 2018
Destination Cranleigh website launched
The thriving community in Cranleigh has received another boost following the launch of a new Village Website.
Destination Cranleigh has been launched with the backing of Cranleigh Chamber of Commerce, as a website containing the latest news about Cranleigh, details of local events and a comprehensive business directory.
The site was built by local creative agency Bamford Media, which will manage content and listings, in partnership with the Chamber.
Cranleigh Chamber of Commerce members receive a free directory listing on the Destination Cranleigh website, which can be optionally upgraded to a premium listing.
Other businesses can also be included at a small fee to cover the cost of running the website. Clubs, charities and organisations will be listed free of charge.
The site has been designed as a 'one stop shop' for local residents, visitors and newcomers to the village, providing useful information and links. It will promote the range of independent retailers, visitor attractions and leisure activities Cranleigh has to offer.
Cranleigh Chamber of Commerce president Rosemary French OBE commented:
The recent closure of the Cranleigh Village website, which was maintained by the Parish Council, left a significant online information gap. This presented an opportunity for the Chamber to put forward a new independent website to serve as a valuable hub for local information.
Cranleigh has so much to offer residents and visitors, but finding the right information about local businesses and local organisations can be a challenge. We hope that Destination Cranleigh will become a trusted source of local news, events and business information.
Local businesses and organisations which are existing members of Cranleigh Chamber of Commerce should check their listing information at www.destinationcranleigh.net and email email@example.com to request any corrections.
To upgrade to a premium listing – which includes a photo gallery, business description and social media links – please email email@example.com. Premium listings and listings for non Chamber businesses are charged at £20 a year.
Destination Cranleigh also welcomes local news and event listings from Chamber members and other local groups.

The Maplewood neighborhood of Harvey, LA, is about 10 minutes away from Terrytown and sits near the Mississippi River section that runs through the state. This area has its own PETCO, which is known for all of its pawsome goodies for your dog, from treats to grooming supplies. Your well-behaved dog is welcome to join you as you shop! You can also enjoy a couple of dog-friendly restaurants here, like Sonic Drive-In, where your dog can dine with you in your car, and Parrot Pete's, a popular local spot with a focus on delicious breakfast favorites, which has dog-friendly outdoor seating.
New Orleans is just a drive away from Terrytown, LA, and one of its most popular neighborhoods – the French Quarter – will only take you about 15 minutes to drive to. This area is home to Louis Armstrong Park, a gorgeous outdoor retreat with picnic areas, a duck pond, and plenty of grass for you and your leashed dog to explore. The French Quarter shopping area is also a must-see. This is the oldest area of New Orleans and offers some of the area's best shops, dining spots, music, events, and more – and your dog is welcome to join you for a stroll as you take in some New Orleans culture.
The Lower Garden District of New Orleans is just about 4 miles from Terrytown. This area has several dog-friendly hotels to stay in if you're just visiting. If a fun, but frightening, experience is your thing, head to Ghost City Tours with your pup. All the tours are dog-friendly! The area also has a Pet Care Center that specializes in grooming and daycare for pampered pooches. And, you'll find plenty of dog-friendly dining in the neighborhood, like the pupular Legacy Kitchen Craft Tavern that has dog-friendly seating along the sidewalk. If the catch of the day is what you're after, try Grand Isle for some delicious, local seafood with your pooch.
The Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans is about 20 minutes from Terrytown and just minutes from the French Quarter of New Orleans. This neighborhood's Crescent Park is the perfect place for your dog to play and socialize. Located right on the Mississippi River, the fenced park has plenty of space for your pooch to run, and you can even explore with your leashed dog outside of the dog area. Bywater has several dog-friendly dining opportunities as well, like Pizza Delicious, which offers custom pizzas with tons of topics to choose from. Paw-friendly tables are located outside with an excellent view of the neighborhood!
West Riverside is another pup-friendly spot in New Orleans, located about 8 miles from Terrytown, LA. Wisner Dog Park is a cozy spot to bring your pup. The park has shaded areas and plenty of grass for him to romp around on with his pals. At Canine Connection, you can also bring your dog to socialize and play in one of several indoor or outdoor play areas (it's like a gym for dogs!). Locals and tourists love PJ's Coffee & Tea Co., which sits close to the Mississippi River and offers dog-friendly outdoor seating for you and your beloved pooch.

for those who believe in timeless romance &
the beauty in simplicity
Gifts, while guests are not required to bring one, most of them do.
How do you prevent receiving another salt & pepper shaker without being rude or breaking etiquette too much?
There are multiple options, you can choose to set up a registry at your favorite store(s) and pick out items for your registry list.
Most larger stores offer this option.
While it was a no-no to ask for cash for a long time, this is no longer the case. You can absolutely ask for cash so you can decide for yourself what to invest it in.
Another option is to setup an account with HoneyFund, which is a free honeymoon registry. That way guests do give you cash but that goes towards your honeymoon.
Don't need anything and want to involve charity? Ask your guests to donate to your favorite charity.
A big etiquette question is of course: can you add your registry or cash request to your invitation itself?
That's still considered to be a big no-no.
If you have a wedding website (which is a great idea to add additional information to for your guests and have them RSVP online too!) you can add your requests to the site. If you don't have a wedding website but still want to send additional information to your guests, you can opt top create a separate note to add to the invitation.

The memoir reflects events in Stutsman's life, particularly his involvement (1830s-1869) as a teacher in rural schools in Indiana and Missouri (pp. 6-15), and positions as township trustee with responsibility for the care of school funds and the employment of teachers in Indiana (p. 11), and as clerk of a township in Missouri (p. 15). Stutsman also describes his own early education (pp. 3-5) and his qualifications as a teacher (p. 8). Religious topics discussed are baptism into the Campbellite (Disciples of Christ) church, the building of churches and the establishment of congregations, a dispute between the Campbellites and the Methodists, and evangelism and disunity during the Civil War (p. 11). Miscellaneous topics described include the use of whiskey at house raisings (pp. 9-10), the boarding of daughters with men in a lifetime contract (p. 12), the purchase and sale of land in Indiana and Missouri, and Stutsman family history.
Two topics of importance relating to the Civil War in Stutsman's memoir include the pro-Confederate work of the Knights of the Golden Circle near Brownstown, Indiana (p. 12), and the raid by General John Morgan on Salem, Indiana (p. 13), during the Civil War.
A memorandum of service issued to James Thurman (1861), an application blank for pension benefits (1913), and a certificate of service in the Confederate Army (1963) are also included in this collection.
The bulk of this collection consists of the memoir of John Berkey Stutsman (1814-1882). Stutsman was the maternal great great grandfather of the donor. The Thurman and Stutsman families originally came from Germany. Stutsman, a farmer, preacher, and teacher, lived most of his life in Jackson County, Indiana. After the Civil War, he moved to Chariton County, Missouri, where he farmed and taught school.

Some HVAC manufacturers will void their warranty on your system if it's not professionally maintained and repaired by trusted experts. If your HVAC system is not repaired properly as the manufacturer recommends, the manufacturer can't guarantee that your system will work as promised. Having a professional repair your system properly might help to validate your manufacturer's warranty.
HVAC repairs are not generally a do-it-yourself project. If you don't have the experience and the expertise needed to safely and effectively repair your HVAC system, it's best to call the professionals. Safeguard your home and everything in it by hiring our HVAC crew to help you with your project.
If you've ever thought about or tried to repair an HVAC system yourself, you know how overwhelming and frustrating the work can be. And don't forget about the risk of not only hurting yourself but causing further damage without meaning to. Our trained professionals are experts at efficiently and effectively repairing HVAC systems so they safely function the way they were designed. While it's possible for you to repair your own HVAC system, unless you have lots of experience doing it, you have better things to spend your time on. We have the years of experience and the specialized tools necessary to get it done right. We make sure your system is repaired and maintained properly and functions right so it adds value to your home by protecting your investment in it.
This is the obvious indication that you should hire an expert HVAC repair team's help. If you're considering tackling a broken HVAC system because you think it may be a DIY job, you're much better off calling in a professional. In addition, if you don't have practical experience repairing HVAC systems, it's not an easy job for a do-it-yourselfer to learn. Be safe and hire a professional.
Again, this is an obvious indication that you may need the help of a professional. If you don't have the necessary tools and safety equipment to work on your HVAC system safely and effectively, please do not try it on your own. It's much safer and less risky to hire an HVAC professional with the experience and tools necessary to get the job done.
If your home isn't staying appropriate warm or cool, but your system is still running like crazy, you may need HVAC repair services. If it's not keeping up and maintaining the set temperature, you should call an HVAC repair expert. It could be a simple fix, but fixing it immediately can likely keep something simple from turning into a major repair costing hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
If any of these questions resonate with you, you may need professional help with your HVAC system project. If there's any doubt in your mind at all about how your HVAC and its components are operating, you should call a specialist to help you determine if you need a professional repair crew to come out and take a look.
Don't take the risk of improperly maintaining or repairing your HVAC system so it doesn't function properly and void your important manufacturer's warranty. It's much better to be safe than sorry and have an expert professional HVAC specialist help you with your needed work. We'll make sure the project gets done quickly, professionally, and safely for all involved.

|Our pressie from my neice and nephew and families
|Beautiful Nicola in her fairy outfit we gave her
|My brother with Adam
Anyways a lot more gatherings are planned for us all....hopefully in the near future we can all get together. the new year is just around the corner so we have them to look forward to.
Christmas was very quiet in our household. It was only us and Kylee for Christmas Day.....the boys and their wives/partners all had made other plans. Paul and Tanya have been down to her Dad's place in Pemberton with her sisters and families and will be coming out with their kids tomorrow.
I am working tomorrow evening so before I start work I will call in and see the troublesome one and drop his present off and those he gave me to put away for his kids. (he has his access visit at his house on the 29th). I will also drop around to his kids house and drop off their presents from me and their Pop.
Simon and Tracey and kids went down to Manjimup to see his Dad....was meant to call in on Boxing Day on their way home, but due to the extreme heat we have had....and radiator problems on his car they are going to come down on Sunday to spend time with us.
Hubby and I don't usually buy presents for each other, we usually go in and buy something we both want/need. Before Christmas we went in to Harvey Norman and I bought myself a Macro lens for my camera....I love it and been having so much fun playing with it. Hubby bought himself a crash cam for his 4x4...he has had so many close calls whilst out driving he decided one was needed.
I went overboard on my eating over the Christmas break and felt absolutely fat and bloated. it was my Kate Morgan weigh in today and every intention of NOT weighing in....but on going down the street I ended up going in and weighing. To my surprise I only gained 600g so I am so thankful I didn't blow it !! The last 2 days I have been totally on track.

Kleptomania is an impulse control disorder in which someone feels an uncontrollable urge to steal. Although some people find the concept amusing or laughable, kleptomania is actually a serious psychiatric condition, and it can cause large problems if not treated. Commonly, kleptomania is also part of another larger psychiatric condition which should be treated so that the patient can live a well-adjusted life.
The name for the condition comes from the Ancient Greek kleptein, which means "to steal," and mania, for "craze." Someone with kleptomania will feel an intense urge to steal objects which are often small and not valuable. Once an item is stolen, the kleptomaniac usually feels more comfortable, but he or she may experience intense feelings of guilt, which can lead to intense anxiety, triggering another episode.
Several conditions must be fulfilled before a person can be diagnosed with kleptomania. The first concerns the type of items stolen; a person with kleptomania does not steal out of economic need, or personal desire, he or she simply takes items, often hoarding them or sometimes even giving them back later. In some cases, a patient may collect a specific type of item, like office supplies. The thefts must not be motivated by anger, a desire for revenge, or hallucinations.
In addition, true kleptomania does not fall within the framework of other psychiatric disorders. For example, a manic depressive person might steal something during an episode, but he or she is not a kleptomaniac. Other conditions like social anxiety disorder and conduct disorder can lead people to steal things, but not in the recurrent cycle which characterizes kleptomania.
Before committing a theft, a patient often feels tense and stressed out. Once the item has been stolen, a feeling of relief or fulfillment occurs. Someone with kleptomania may be aware of the consequences of stealing, such as prosecution in a court of law, but he or she commits the theft anyway. Despite the fact that kleptomaniacs lack control over their own behavior, they can be held financially accountable in a court of law in many nations.
A variety of things can be used to treat kleptomania. Cognitive behavior therapy and other therapies are very common, especially since the condition is usually related to other conditions which require treatment. In some cases, pharmaceuticals may be used to see if the kleptomania is caused by an imbalance in the patient's brain. Some patients also benefit from group therapy, which reminds them that they are not alone and there is not shame in seeking treatment.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Some of you may remember this post from last year, but I've made a few updates to both the recipe and the images since. Brussels sprouts are such a great side dish for Thanksgiving that I've decided to make them again this year. The original post is below:
Thanksgiving is only a few days away, which means time spent with family, friends and food…lots and lots of food. Instead of worrying about the main dishes, this year I'd like to focus on rustic and healthful side dishes. Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite sides this time of year. Mixing in some soy sauce and fresh ginger adds a subtle Asian-inspired twist.
I used baby Brussels sprouts so I kept them whole, but if you use regular sized sprouts feel free to halve them. For similar recipes, check out my Brussels sprouts with tempeh and a one-pot favorite with prosciutto and potatoes.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Orange and Ginger Soy
- 1 pound baby Brussels sprouts, halved or whole
- 1-2 teaspoons orange zest
- 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Grate orange zest and ginger into a bowl, then stir in orange juice, oil and soy sauce; mix well. In an oven-safe dish, cook for about 35 minutes stirring halfway through to evenly brown.

10 Responses to "Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Orange and Ginger Soy Sauce"
My family loves brussel sprouts (we just had them last night for dinner). I must try this recipe – what a nice variation! BTW, my cat also likes the trimmed leaves!
i tried this recipe a few days ago, but was a little disappointed with the results. My only alteration, i doubled the recipe, using 1kg of sprouts & 2 oranges. I used the largest pan that would possibly fit into my oven, so the sprouts could be single layer with some space in between.
perhaps my oranges were extra juicy — i had between 3/4 – 1 cup juice — but all that liquid steamed the sprouts as well as roasted them, making the sprouts a little mushy, not crunchy and caramelized, although i roasted them until a bit charred. i think the recipe could be improved with much less OJ or even no juice, just zest.
i have had these orange, ginger, soy flavors on beef and chicken, but i didn't find that they worked as well with the sprouts. it was okay, but not something that i would return to. i have also recently made some roasted sprouts with tamarind, honey, and ginger and that turned out well.
thx for your efforts. i still like learning new ideas and trying new flavors. i get a little disappointed when the dish doesn't work, but i never feel it's a waste. we learn.
I am going to try this tonight but will use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Can I sue olive oil instead of vegetable oil?
I mean *use.
One word: Delicious!
My husband distinctly told me he hates brussels sprouts but he really likes these to the point I saw him snacking on what was leftover from it-right after having them for dinner! Thanks a lot for this recipe. I will definitely make these again!

Fig. 1. Session Chair Martin Blume
This year was the 100th anniversary of the discovery of superconductivity, and the APS March meeting in Dallas featured over a dozen sessions devoted to the phenomenon. The one sponsored by the Forum on the History of Physics took place at mid-morning on Monday, March 21, 2011. The five speakers at the session, chaired by Martin Blume (Fig. 1), dispelled some of the commonly held stories about the discovery of superconductivity, pointing to the intense interest of the physics community in that discovery. Some of the most famous names in physics at the time tried to find a theoretical explanation of the phenomenon, with little success. The speakers also highlighted some of the important discoveries about the nature of superconductivity that led to a theoretical understanding and reformulation, culminating in the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory [1]. The session concluded with a review of the present applications of superconductivity and their future promise.
The first speaker of the session was Dirk van Delft, Director of Museum Boerhaave at Leiden, who published an article in the September 2011 issue of Physics Today on the same subject and one in the March 2008 issue on the liquefaction of helium [2, 3]. The discovery of superconductivity can be pinpointed to 8 April 1911. Unlike the popular story that the observation of superconductivity was first thought to be a short circuit in the apparatus, the lab notes of Heike Kamerlingh Onnes reveal his awareness that he had discovered a new phenomenon. The results were announced in October of that year, both at Leiden and at the First Solvay Conference held in Brussels at the Metropole Hotel. The latter brought together such luminaries from the world of physics as A. Einstein, who was the second youngest member at the conference, M. Curie, M. Brillouin, H. Poincaré, and others. Another point highlighted by van Delft was that many of the experimental discoveries attributed to Kamerlingh Onnes, a theoretical physicist, would not have been possible without the expert technicians he had in his employ. While he acknowledged these technicians, they were not made co-authors on the publications.
Fig. 2. Brian Schwartz of CUNY.
The second speaker was Brian Schwartz (Fig. 2), currently at the Graduate Center at CUNY and previously associate Director of the Francis Bitter National Magnet Laboratory. Schwartz outlined the discoveries and phenomenological or other theories which lead to the eventual formulation of the BCS theory [1]. These included the Meissner effect, by Meissner and Ochsenfeld in 1933 [4], the isotope effect discovered independently by E. Maxwell and B Serin et al. in 1950 [5, 6], and the energy gap (See reference 30 in [1]) in 1953-4 which became evident from many experimental results. Schwartz also reviewed some of the phenomenological formulations, among which were the two fluid theory developed by Casimir and Gorter in 1934 [7] and also L. Tisza, the Heintz and Fritz London formulation of Maxwell's equations for superconductivity [8], the Pippard non-local theory [9], and the Ginzburg-Landau equations [10].
Because the third speaker, Leon Cooper—the "C" in the BCS theory [1]—was unable to attend the March meeting, a video was shown of him speaking before an audience at Brown University on December 10th, 2010 entitled "The Road to and from BCS."
His lecture briefly described the discovery of superconductivity by Kamerlingh Onnes and the interest it evoked in the world of physics at that time. It then went on to an enumeration of some of the unsuccessful attempts at theories trying to explain the phenomenon. Those attempting explanations included Einstein, Feinman, Froelich, and even Bardeen [11], the "B" in BCS. Cooper then detailed the intense activities and calculations undertaken by him, Schrieffer and Bardeen, who wrote an article on superconductivity in the Encyclopedia der Physik only a few years before the BCS theory was published. The talk concluded with a review of the technological promises of superconductivity and a call in support of pure research, since the outcome of such investigations might not be utilized for years or decades. A link to this talk is available on the web at:
John M. Rowell, the fourth speaker, who is now at the Arizona State University and was at The Bell Labs from 1961 to 1983, described developments after the BCS theory from 1957 to 1967, which enabled superconductivity to be applied to the production of high magnetic fields for particle accelerators and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. His talk entitled "Giaever, Nb3Sn, and Josephson" described the experiments, which led to the measurement of the energy gap and the discovery of the "Hard or Type II" superconductors, which enabled the manufacture of wires which were superconducting in high magnetic fields although partially penetrated by them. The understanding of the Abrikosov vortex structure contributed greatly to that advance. He then went on to the prediction of the Josephson effect and its applications in extremely sensitive measuring devices.
Fig. 3. Paul Chu of the University of Houston.
The final speaker was Paul Chu (Fig. 3), of the Texas Center for Superconductivity, University of Houston, who with scientists at Bell Labs is widely credited in the creation of materials raising the transition point of high temperature superconductors above the boiling point of liquid nitrogen, thus making them usable with much less maintenance than required by the previously used cryogen, helium. Chu begun by pointing out the excitement with which discoveries are made, especially in superconductivity, and reviewed the history of experiments aimed at the discovery of materials with ever higher superconducting transition temperatures. These included the efforts of B. Matthias, who managed to raise the transition temperature of alloys above 20K. Chu then discussed the discovery of high temperature superconductivity in 1986 by J.G. Bednorz and K. A. Miller, and the quest to synthesize materials with higher temperature transition points. That brought renewed attention to the subject, culminating in the "Woodstock of Physics" at the 1987 March meeting in New York City, and a demonstration before President Ronald Reagan – the pinnacle of the United States national interest in superconductivity. Although the number of publications dealing with high temperature superconductivity has declined, research is ongoing and applications are coming on line. The talk concluded with a vision of the great promise in the application of high temperature superconductivity to the storage and transmission of "green" electrical power in the near future.
All of these talks will be posted on the FHP website in the near future.
Another session on superconductivity was sponsored by the FHP at the April Meeting in Anaheim California. That session took place on May 1 and featured three speakers, with Martin Blume presiding. The first speaker, Peter Pesic of St. John's College, provided a historical timeline that began in 1832 when Michael Faraday liquefied chlorine, and included Van der Waals' formulation of the gas equations in 1873, William Ramsey's discovery of helium on earth in 1895, William Dewar's 1898 liquefaction of hydrogen, and Heike Kamerlingh Onnes—who was one of Van der Waals' students—liquefying helium in 1908. Three years later superconductivity was discovered in mercury. This, Pesic pointed out, was only one of the achievement of the "Golden Age" of Dutch science. An adjunct to the Kamerlingh Onnes laboratory in Leyden was a school for skilled technicians, and the use of that facility and personnel was a significant factor in the discovery of superconductivity. Giles Holst, one of Kamerlingh Onnes' assistants, was actually the one who first observed the phenomenon. At that time, the Leyden team also observed the 2.2K superfluid transition of liquid helium but was not aware of what it was. In 1914 the team demonstrated a conducting ball floating above a superconducting ring. A sketch of this experiment by Gerrit Flim, an assistant to Kamerlingh Onnes, was made in preparation for the actual experimental performance indicating the understanding of the superconductivity phenomenon.
Fig. 4. David Larbalestier
David Larbalestier, of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and Department of Physics, Florida State University, provided an overview of the practical applications of superconductivity. He pointed out that it took much preparation and careful planning to liquefy helium in order to carry out the discovery. After being hired by Leyden in 1882, Kamerlingh Onnes did not publish any articles for ten years. However, from the time of the discovery of superconductivity, he was pursuing practical applications. According to Larbalestier's abstract, "In fact Onnes came to Chicago in 1913, just two years after discovering superconductivity, with a detailed plan to make a 10 T superconducting magnet!" The unexpectedly low critical current of mercury made that project unfeasible; but 48 years later, the discovery of type II superconductors made high field magnets possible. Larbalestier then went into the details of superconducting wire and magnet design and their applications in MRI and particle accelerators. The discovery of high transition temperature superconductors (HTTS), which took place 25 years ago, is only now leading to improvements in the superconductor tape-wire current-carrying properties over those of the type II superconductor technology. He went on to describe the problems that had to be overcome to manufacture HTTS wires of which brittleness and grain boundaries of the materials were prominent. He then reviewed methods by means of which one could overcome those difficulties. He concluded with the statement that "Today Nb-Ti (Tc = 9 K, Hc2(4K) = 10 T) is the conductor of choice. YBCO (Tc = 92 K) is a potential challenger. The search is on for much higher Tc – but that is another story…"
The third speaker, A. Zee of the University of California, Santa Barbara concluded the session with observations on how superconductivity theory, especially the Ginsburg-Landau formulation [10], extends far beyond superconductors and influenced particle physics theory and quantum field theory. Those views paralleled those given at a talk at the March Meeting session J3, on March 22, 2011, given by Frank Wilczek, who presented a "modern perspective on some classic applications of the ideas of superconductivity theory to fundamental particle physics: spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in vacuum QCD, the Higgs mechanism in electroweak theory, and color superconductivity in dense hadronic matter; and also the confinement problem." That session was a Kavli Foundation Special Symposium: Nobelist Perspectives on 100 Years of Superconductivity, sponsored by the DMP and DCMP.

Remember I've always compared social media to being at a party? Yesterday I had the identical feelings both good and bad.
At the party I saw a group of people passing around photos and getting very excited. They were the lovely gang FB British Books which does what it says on the lid. It's for authors of books set in Britain and for people who love reading same. There was such a mad reaction from authors that it is now only open to readers (and those lucky few, like me, who jumped in with both feet from the beginning). The welcome and the atmosphere on there are brilliant. That picture at the top is Loch Lomond, the inspiration for the loch on Iamo's father's estate.
Do go and have a look and join. If you like books set in the British Isles, using native English, this is the place to discover new authors and see photos of the places that have inspired them. I could spend ages just looking at the pictures although my own so far have been limited to the building that inspired the Lodge for the Guild of Black Shaman and a London black-cab (essential transport for my magic-users who can't drive or operate machinery).
Yesterday I also had that ghastly experience of walking up to someone I have met, chatted with and have them turn away with a curt "Who the hell are you?". Left in the middle of the room with my mouth opening and closing as my self-esteem trickled through the carpet like bathwater down the plughole…I sidled back over to the British Books folks who seemed very much nicer.

We all know how much I love my ice cream maker. I love it so much that I don't even remember the last time we actually bought already-made ice cream. There was even a big sale on Blue Bell ice cream at the grocery store the other day and I didn't even get any (if you're not from a State that gets Blue Bell, just know that passing up a big Blue Bell sale is a big deal).
Anyway, so of course - there had to be pumpkin spice ice cream to celebrate Fall!
Recipe adapted from here.
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
1/3 cup pumpkin puree
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
Dash of ginger
Dash of nutmeg
1. Whisk everything together in a big bowl until combined.
2. Pour into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the ice cream maker's directions (I left mine in there for 35 minutes or so).
3. Freeze for at least a couple hours before serving.
All whisked up!

Is the Pagani Huayra All It's Cracked Up to Be? [video]
Anyone would tell you that driving a million dollar hypercar is a life-changing event. The fact that such a machine could be so gorgeous, have so much power, and just be that insanely cool is something out of our wildest dreams. Italian firm Pagani is one of the foremost manufacturers of exclusive hypercars. Previously with the Zonda, and now with the beast that's known more fluently as the Huayra; a 700 horsepower, $1.5M wonder of engineering. But how does Pagani's latest creation, compare to its much-loved Zonda? Can the Huayra be considered a new-world hypercar? Motor Trend takes both for a spin and tells us how they compare. Watch it here:

Whelan feels Dublin are 'in Kerry's heads' as old roles reverse
Mickey Whelan can't see how any hype that may go with pursuing a fifth successive All-Ireland title will hamper Dublin's footballers in their bid to make history in 2019.
Whelan had a ringside seat to witness the genesis of this team when they landed their first All-Ireland title in 2011, as coach to manager Pat Gilroy, but feels their winning mentality will guard them against whatever pitfalls there may be.
"If you keep thinking about it, it'll be noise in their brain. But they don't. It's just another championship, simple as that. They're not worried about it now, it'll start when it starts and they'll be ready for it," he said.
Whelan believes the team has far exceeded the expectation he had of them when he stepped down after the 2011 success, a year before Gilroy's departure. "When I stepped down I told you guys (media) they'd win four All-Irelands, but not in a row. That statement is on (record). And there's a lot of that team that have won six. It was a great group. Again, they all bought into it. But they worked hard. We flogged them, we flogged them to change their mentality. I just wanted to make sure they weren't soft," he added.
Whelan believes dominance over Kerry in this decade – they've won their last four championship meetings (2011, 2013, 2015 and 2016) with the Kingdom – has given them added steel.
"We were the second (Dublin) team to beat Kerry in an All-Ireland championship in 84 years. 84 years, do you understand that? Two wins in 84 years. And that was in everybody's heads, particularly in Kerry's heads. They're coming up saying, 'These guys never beat us'. But the roles have changed now. I think we're a bit in their heads," he said. Whelan has stepped away from his involvement with the Dublin hurlers after Gilroy was unable to continue due to work pressures. He believes his St Vincent's colleague will be back in a Dublin management role again in the future. "I've one foot in the grave here and I'm involved, why wouldn't he get involved again," he said. "He's a young man, a very young man. He'll be back involved.
Chasing "He won't go chasing it (the hurling job). But there will be a time they'll be looking for somebody to do stuff and if he's available he'd probably take it, he likes a challenge. He's very good management skills. He's an engineer and a lot of engineers go on and become managers of all sorts of business."
Whelan said it wasn't possible for Gilroy to continue. "He's creating a lot of employment for people. And there is a lot of other things now beyond hurling and football. So apart from business, it's the environment he's creating and the employment he's creating for people.
"But I thought we put together a nice set-up and got it off the ground. And we changed it a little bit. We changed the mental profile. And that's important. You have to be prepared to hurt to get anywhere, to make the steps you need."
Whelan admitted his involvement with the Dublin hurlers brought more pressure than his previous involvement with the footballers because of the lack of identity he had Gilroy had with hurling at that level. "It was more pressurised, because I'd say when it was announced everybody was saying, 'What are these guys doing with it?'
"It was a positive year. I thought we made progress. We were seen as a kind of a football management team going in but Anthony (Cunningham) gave that a bit of credibility.
#bb-iawr-inarticle- { clear: both; margin: 0 0 15px; }
"I think the players rowed in behind us and did a very good job. I was happy with our outcomes. And we had to go the way we went because we got in very late.
"We had to elevate the fitness levels. That had to be done at the expense of the league. We knew we had to beat Offaly to stay up and we had to have them at their best to meet Kilkenny in the first round of the championship. And it kind of worked out for us."
