Bonus! The Normal Heart also features Taylor Kitsch and tells the story of one man's experience with the AIDS crisis in the 80s. Full Story

Hey again! I am Angela from Fussy Cut, and I'm back with a second Moda Bakeshop tutorial. I had a blast with my first and I just couldn't stay away for long. :)
Back in January of this year, I made my first quilt in this pattern. Since then I've received countless emails requesting a tutorial for it. Once I saw my friend Aneela's latest line for Moda, I knew it was just the right fabric to recreate my quilt. So here you go... Apple Crate!
- 3.5 yards of Moda Bella White 9900-97
- 5.5 yards of Little Apples 18514-15 (clothing on gray) for backing
- 1 yard of Little Apples 18512-51 (green leaves) for binding
This quilt consists of two blocks- A and B. They are the same exact layout and size (14" x 16" finished), but the prints and solids are reversed. I'll break down each block for you.
NOTE: All seam allowances are 1/4". Press seams toward printed fabrics.
from WHITE SOLID:
- cut 1 strip: 2.5" wide x WOF (width of fabric)
- from that, subcut {2} 10.5" strips, {2} 8.5" strips, and {1} 4.5" strip
from the fat quarter PRINT:
- cut 4 strips: 2.5" x width of fat quarter (approximately 22")
- from 2 of those, subcut {2} 14.5" strips and {2} 6.5" strips (one of each length listed from each strip)
- from the other 2, subcut {2} 12.5" strips and {2} 4.5" (one of each length listed from each strip)
To begin the block, grab {1} 2.5" x 4.5" solid strip for the center, {2} 2.5" x 4.5" print strips for the sides, and {2} 2.5" x 6.5" print strips for the top and bottom.
Sew the side print strips to the center solid. Press seams.
Sew the top and bottom print strips. Press seams.
For the next round, you need {2} 2.5" x 8.5" solid strips for the sides and {2} 2.5" x 10.5" solid strips for the top and bottom. Sew the sides onto the block, press. Sew the top and bottom. Press.
You now have a completed Block A! At this point it should measure 14.5" x 16.5". You need to make 15 of these. If you are making your quilt the same as mine, you will need 4 green, 3 red, 3 aqua, 3 white, and 2 gray blocks.
Time to tackle Block B! Here are your fabric cutting instructions:
from fat quarter PRINT:
- cut 2 strips: 2.5" wide x width of fat quarter (approximately 22")
- from the first strip, subcut {2} 10.5" strips
- from the second strip, subcut {2} 8.5" strips, and {1} 4.5" strip (if your FQ is a little short, simply cut the 4.5" x 2.5" strip from the remaining print fabric)
from the SOLID:
- cut 2 strips: 2.5" x WOF
- from 1 of those strips, subcut {2} 14.5" strips and {2} 6.5" strips
- from the other, subcut {2} 12.5" strips and {2} 4.5"
Sew the two side strips onto the center print. Press. Sew the top and bottom strips. Press.
There you go, Block B! Like Block A, it should measure 14.5" x 16.5" unfinished, and you need to make 15 of these. If you are making your quilt just like mine, you need 4 gray, 3 red, 3 aqua, 3 white, and 2 green blocks.
Now it is time to assemble your quilt top! There will be five blocks in each row with a total of six rows. Alternate your A and B blocks. If you'd like, please refer to the first pictures in this post for my specific layout. Sew together each row, and then combine the rows to make your quilt top.
To make your quilt backing, simply cut your gray clothing yardage in half then sew together lengthwise. Give it a good press, and then you are ready to layer, baste, quilt. I chose to free motion quilt in a meandering pattern. I love the round quilting curves with these blocks, they really soften up the straight lines. Using your green leaf fabric, bind in your preferred method. That is it; you're finished!
I hope you enjoyed my tutorial, I had so much fun writing it for you! If you make this quilt, please let me know. I'd really love to see it. Happy quilting!
With love,
{Fussy Cut}

L, sorry about what happened. It will blow over, and you didn't mean to exclude them.
I haven't had that unmentionable issue (at least not badly) but I do get a lot more GI cramping and gassiness at that time.
Chrissy, too bad you aren't in our office! Rumor has it there is an opening coming up...
The paperwork parents fill out and then receive from us during our assessment just makes their eyes glaze over. I kill a tree for every child I test.

Taye's family tree stretches from the Horn of Africa to Oxford, Michigan. He started life in an Ethiopian orphanage, just like his older brother. Ben and Joanna McKinney adopted Taye in April.
"He was six and half months when we brought him home," said Joanna McKinney. It was a homecoming tainted by a tragedy. Only days after arriving at his new home, a seemingly harmless fall would turn life threatening. Taye was on the bed. Ben turned his back for a second.
"He kind of pivoted and rolled off the bed, and when I turned around, he was kind of mid-air. He hadn't hit the ground yet, but he fell just straight back onto a carpeted floor," said Ben McKinney.
"Ben had called me and he was a little nervous in his voice, and he said, 'Taye fell.' And I was like, 'That's okay, you know, kids fall,'" Joanna McKinney said.
However, this fall had dire consequences. The McKinneys are speechless when a CAT scan shows massive bleeding on Taye's brain.
"I thought this child is in trouble," said neurosurgeon Dr. Karol Zakalik.
The baby is flown from Troy Beaumont to Royal Oak where Dr. Zakalik is waiting to remove part of his skull and alleviate the pressure on the brain. He is painfully honest with the McKinneys.
"I prepared them for the worst that the child may have severe brain damage. It's not clear if he will be able to... walk around... He's likely to be paralyzed and have... problems, but we may not even be able to save his life," Zakalik said.
"I would say those were the hardest hours because we... showed up and we were met by a chaplain and a doctor. That's not a good sign," said Joanna McKinney.
However, as moments turn into hours and hours into days something happens in the intensive care unit.
"It was like watching this miracle unfold every single day, " Joanna McKinney said.
"Then the next morning, I noticed he was able to move his right side. Weaker but he was able to move, and usually with a child, if you notice that they move... today, it's likely that they'll improve with time," said Zakalik.
Now, ten months and a countless of hours of therapy later, Taye's progress is amazing. "For him to be able to clap and play and interact... if you look at him, you wouldn't ever even know there was ever a brain injury. So, that's pretty remarkable," said Megan Meloche, O.T. with Beaumont Hospital.
"Miracle child," Zakalik said.
"There's this African saying, it takes a village to raise a child, and that speaks to me so much because we lived that," said Joanna McKinney.
Some of the equipment Beaumont uses for helping young patients, such as Taye, is provided by Children's Miracle Network. For the first time, FOX 2 is partnering with CMN, Beaumont Hospital and Gardner-White Furniture to help give miracles to metro Detroit kids who need it most.

Free tickets to 150 museums
Need an afternoon out? Bank of America is buying, at museums and other cultural centers across the country.
You might already have it. Check your wallet.
If you own a Bank of America or Merrill Lynch credit or debit card, or a card bearing the BofA logo, you can take part in Bank of America's Museums On Us program.
Any of the above-mentioned cards is your open-sesame to 150 museums in 31 states, from as far north as Alaska to as far south as Florida. The card plus a photo ID will get you in without paying on the first Saturday of every month. Sometimes on Sunday, too. (Post continues below)
While there's plenty of fine art to be viewed, this party is far from elitist. (See "Country Music Hall of Fame," above.) Choose from an intriguing mix of venues, such as:
- Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego.
- IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum, near Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
- Art Institute of Chicago.
- Brooklyn Children's Museum.
- The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, Boston.
- National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, D.C.
- Discovery Science Center, Santa Ana, Calif.
- Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn, Mich.
- Whitney Museum of American Art, New York City.
The savings can be considerable. A ticket to the Houston Zoo is normally $13, admission to the Henry Ford Museum is $17 and a walk-through of the Whitney Museum of American Art will set you back a cool $18.
Depending on your location, the Museums On Us program may net you other perks. For example, the Seattle Art Museum's splendid "Gauguin & Polynesia: An Elusive Paradise" exhibit, which runs until April 29, costs as much as $23 to see. But those BofA cardholders can get in for $8 on the first weekend of the month.
- Bing: Who is Paul Gauguin?
Of course, you could also look at it as "I saved X dollars getting in so I'll gladly pay to see the boy king's tighty whities." And I hope you'll drop at a bill or at least some coins in the donation bins found in most museum lobbies.
So get your midwinter-weary self out of the house. Head out to the Art Institute of Chicago, the Anchorage Museum, the Harvard Museum of Natural History or whatever's open in your area. Enjoy a little frugal culture, whether highbrow or having to do with lariats.
More on MSN Money:
Hi, Donna,
Just wondering if the free admission is extended to each person in your party or if it only applies to the person whose name is on the credit card. Would be great if the spouse and kids got in free or at a discount. also!
BTW...I really enjoy your articles and live by your saying, " I save whenever I can so I can afford to buy what I WANT!" Makes perfect sense to me. I constantly get complements on my home. It has been furnished almost entirely second-hand through Goodwill, yard sales, and auctions. Our couch and big chair, our computer, our mattress, and all major appliances were purchased new. Otherwise, everything is pre-owned and refurbished, if necessary.
Keep up the good work.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this ring! I just got married this past weekend, and absolutely love my wedding band. I have had several people ask about my ring and my husbands wedding band(one of the tungsten carbide bands), and have referred every single one of them to overstock.com. I let them know the prices are great, the products are excellent, and shipping doesn't take forever and a day. Will definitely be a frequent shopper!!!!!
i love my ring. it was on of the best things i bought
This ring is wonderful and exactly as described and shown. Thank you ;)
Loving my new rings. These are the ones we chose for our wedding, which was just on March 6, 2012. All my family and friends love the ring, and so do I! I am very happy with my purchase.
I purchased 2 of these rings to be used as my wedding bands around my diamond solitaire.They are beautiful and the stones are very flashy. The design is clean, modern and elegant. The rings look expensive, but through Overstock they were very affordable. I just love the look of black diamonds!
Just received this ring to go as a wedding ring next to my black diamond 1 carat diamond engagement ring and it is more beautiful than depicted by the photo. I can't wait to get married in ten days so I can wear it all the time. Very high quality in appearance! I'm very pleased!
Ring is very pretty. I got this as a 3 year anniversary band. Black diamonds sparkle nicely. I clean it with toothpaste. I wear it all the time so the silver is a bit scratched up, but its from normal wear.
Good price for the ring, fits my pinky well and I love the black diamonds.
My only regret is that I didn't go with the larger stone size. It has maintained it's original quality after months of wear. I would definitely recommend it and will buy the larger stones at some point!!
The ring is actually nicer in hand. My wife and I agreed to buy a Black Diamond "Tea Cup," setting ring. I wanted her to have a band to go along with it so I pick this particular one up. (It was a surprise BTW) we are using this ring for everyday use and we couldn�t be happier with the product. It�s stays shiny and even though they are Black Diamonds there is still that �BLING!� factor going on in the right light of course. For the price I would recommend this product.

(RNN) - Some have little reason to celebrate when football season rolls around.
They support perpetually horrible teams, like the Cleveland Browns, or hold a grudge against football for unleashing Joe Theismann and his horrible prostate commercials on the public. Let's face it: If it weren't for his gridiron career making him a pseudo-celebrity, Theismann would be complaining about "the water hazards of life" to only his wife and poker buddies.
Maybe some just don't dig football, period, and have the misfortune to live in an area where it is a big deal.
The sport is responsible for countless knee injuries and concussions - and that's just from cheer pyramid collapses. Its rivalries clog Facebook feeds with endless memes, banter and 300 versions of the same old, tired jokes.
It's inescapable, like the Kardashians. Wait at the local oil-change joint on any given Saturday morning, and the TV in the waiting room will likely be tuned to ESPN during a hourslong college football preview. It features an old guy who likes to wear mascot heads and infuriate the screaming fans on whichever college campus he and his colleagues happen to invade that week.
With the proliferation of TV sets even in mom and pop eateries, diners cannot escape whatever game of the week the locals find compelling.
The game itself is a colorful but ultimately overhyped waste of time, kind of like the Kardashians. A bunch of big, often unathletic-looking bruisers in body armor line up to counter another set of big, padded bruisers. Some of these guys are posed in awkward positions, in particular the guy who gives the quarterback the ball from between his legs.
Numbers are yelled out, and then there's movement, people colliding and falling. Sometimes a ball is thrown. There is talk of I-formations, Hail Marys and quarterback sneaks. Then a whistle blows, and they line up to do the same thing again.
Sometimes, the officials have to measure things or toss yellow handkerchiefs, which slows everything to a crawl as they huddle to decide what to say over the crackling microphone that no one will be able to hear. There may even be instant replay, which slows things down even more as experts study a play from 20 different angles.
If it's professional football, it's one set of millionaires against another, purportedly to defend the honor of whichever city's team is paying them.
And then there's college football, a multimillion-dollar industry fueled by the exploitation of children, many of whom not only don't go on to the NFL - they don't gain a worthwhile education or (legally) earn a dime from the efforts that enrich others.
So how's a nonfan to cope with the long months of football?
Beat football fans at their own game by knowing more trivia than they do. For those who are history buffs, there's plenty of it to be had. For instance, there are some college football rivalries with interesting trophies, such as the Fremont Cannon, once used in the UNLV vs. Nevada-Reno rivalry.
There's probably some small nugget of knowledge someone can trot out to add to any conversation. What's with all those mascots? How many Ugas have there been? If you're a numbers nerd, there are enough numbers to make even Moneyball fans happy.
However, don't be too insufferable, or you may never be invited to a football party again. Then again if that's the point, go for it.
In every less-than-pleasant thing, people can find an element of fun - a spoonful of sugar that may make that oblong ball a little more palatable.
College football has had some fun names over the years. Troy once had a player named Bear Woods, who looked like a refugee from a Southern Rock group. And then there's John David Booty, a name that elicits giggles from 9-year-old boys and those with similar sensitivities.
Of course, personalities like Tim Tebow, with his tears, Tebowing and mediocre skills, and Manti Te'o, with his invisible girlfriend and mediocre skills, makes things more interesting until the 500th joke or internet meme.
It's also fun to watch other people having fun, particularly passionate fans, even if you don't share their passion. It's like watching little children opening presents on Christmas Day - still thrilling even if you don't believe in Santa Claus, and you don't even have to buy presents.
Football season is a glutton's dream, and one need not be a football fan to take part in all the traditional unhealthy food associated with enjoying an athletic contest - Buffalo wings, nachos, pizza and beverages.
Dream up a football party and buy a bunch of supplies purportedly for such a gathering. And when you load up the grocery cart, people will assume there's some sort of event going on at your house, even if you decide to just rewatch The Walking Dead. Then turn up the sound loud enough to drown out the neighbors hooting over the latest touchdown or dropped pass.
Some nonfans attempt football fandom, but be warned. For areas where football is extremely virulent, picking a team comes with risks, including minor property damage to team license plates and the occasional brutal smacktalk from the fans of rival teams. These irritants can be difficult for an ambivalent fan to bear.
On the bright side, one can engage in brutal smacktalk and silly regional generalizations, too - i.e., dissing the other team's fans because of their lack of dental hygiene, corn-dog odor, etc. Classy people, though, don't inflict property damage or engage in fisticuffs. No one looks good in prison orange.
Note that it is bad form to blindly decide to support a team that happens to be winning. It's often called jumping on the bandwagon, and such fair-weather fans open themselves to ridicule from hardcore fans, particularly when the chosen team starts losing and the hop-ons choose to bail.
Those who choose not to choose should make sure to wear "neutral" colors. For example, in Alabama, that means avoiding the wearing of orange and crimson (even burgundy) during football season. It's particularly bad around November, unless you like being screamed at by an obnoxious old man in a grocery store parking lot. (Yes, this happens.)
It also helps not to live in Alabama at all.
No, don't expose delicate national secrets to Glenn Greenwald a la leaker Edward Snowden. Probably the best way to avoid American football is to leave the country, as the U.S. national sport has limited global appeal. Plus, no Kardashians.
Be warned: you'll encounter that other football, what people in the U.S. call soccer, and its own related hooliganism.
Also, overseas, there may be limited access to the life-shortening, fattening food items associated with football. Those Siberian winters are a little colder without the extra layers of insulation.

I remember my neighbor, a boy my age, asked me if I knew who Def Leppard was and I didn't, but I pretended I did so he'd think I was cool. I was thinking "Who'd name a band Deaf Leopard?"
I'm feeling my age here. I feel the same way about the 70's. I remember the 80's more than I care to!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
DH is 6 years older than me and he remembers the early 80's much better than I do. It's funny because he was in the army and overseas in the late 80's and doesn't remember pop culture from that time at all ... so we had two completely different 80's experiences!

and I miss Rin too! Whoever texts her -- tell her I say hello!
I confess I laid down with Audri to take a nap at 11 today... just woke up at 2:25, and she is still sleeping! I guess she's making up for not napping at all yesterday.

Just read the reviews--they're hilarious. Esp. the rebuttal from the manufacturer saying their shirts do not cure AIDS.
I confess....baby has a head! And a little arm sticking out on the right side of the picture!

Aww, Janeen! How exciting!

text: Ash, I agree about T. Not sure why they insist on him volunteering as the way of demonstrating what he knows, especially at his age. If the small group allows them to keep better tabs on what he is learning and not give him poor grades because he doesn't volunteer, I see that as a good thing. But you are right, he won't transfer that to a group of 35. If that's what they are trying it won't work. Still, I'd personally prefer to have him in the small group.

Jason Payne, currently serving a life sentence for the murders of his wife and stepson, will stand trial again for the killings. The court says that though the evidence in the case was legally sufficient to support Payne's conviction, the case is remanded for a new trial because the 12th Court of Appeals erred in admitting certain statements during the trial, stating they were inadmissible hearsay.
The State Court of Criminal Appeals said that those statements were likely harmful, so they have granted a new trial.
Jason Payne of Quitman was charged with the December 2007 murders of his wife, Nichole Payne, 35, and 16-year-old stepson, Austin Taylor Wages.
In December 2007 it was reported Payne actually dialed 9-1-1 after discovering the bodies inside his Quitman home. The victims were in separate rooms with gunshot wounds.
Within the months that followed, evidence, such as two large holes which appeared to be graves, were located on the property just behind the residence, leading to the arrest.

No matter what sort of lodging you are interested in booking for your trip to Branson, Missouri, you will find it. From luxury hotels to RV parks, there is a place for you to stay that fits your travel style and budget.
Couples looking for a romantic stay can choose from posh hotels, a comfy bed and breakfast, or even a vacation rental that makes them feel like being at home. All can be found in a variety of price ranges, which means you won't go broke before you even do anything.
The majority of Branson lodgings cater to families, giving you all the amenities to make your stay memorable and enjoyable. There are many suites and resorts that are affordable, but if you're on a tight budget, camping is really popular in the area – both RV and traditional. It can be fun to experience two different kinds of vacations in one. Of course, you can also splurge on some more luxurious accommodations that welcome families and offer free breakfast and more that will make your dollars stretch further.
If you want to walk out of your hotel and stroll straight to restaurants, shopping, and entertainment, plus spend time down by Lake Taneycomo, then you'll want to look for a place to stay at Branson Landing. This beautiful area is very convenient for those who don't wish to rent a car and get around easily.
There are attractions everywhere you turn in Branson, so no matter where you stay, you'll find something cool to do nearby. Luckily, Branson recognizes the different types of tourists who come to visit and offers a place to stay for all of them. Travelers coming to enjoy nature may be more inclined to sleep out in nature, while those coming to experience the glitz and glamor of the city and its Broadway-style shows may wish to dish out a little extra dough for a more upscale stay.

I wanted to make this due to the fact it bugged me in the movie that Jake managed to nail Neytiri with little to no knowledge of Na'vi mating practices. I mean, I'm assuming it's pretty similar, but considering they have magic hair veins that connect with nature, there's obviously some pretty big anatomical differences...
Wow, there's people starving in Ireland and it's stuff like THAT which keeps me up at night.

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano assured Connecticut residents Thursday that the federal government has their backs in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
"We understand the urgency of the situation," Napolitano said at a press briefing outside Housatonic Community College in Bridgeport, after touring local wreckage with Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and Connecticut legislators.
"We'll continue to bring in the resources we can," she said.
Speaking in a city that had 44 percent of its residents without power as of 12:30 p.m. Thursday, Napolitano said the federal government, working with the Red Cross, has provided meals and water to Connecticut residents, and plans to open more disaster recovery centers next week.

"Our aim is to be very proactive," she said of her department, which includes the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Coast Guard.
Napolitano said damage assessments will begin Friday for towns seeking a declaration of emergency.
She urged residents affected by Sandy to register with FEMA for financial aid. Learn more about these programs by visiting FEMA's website or by calling 800.621.3362. In addition, Napolitano said FEMA will be setting up facilities on the ground to assist individuals and small business owners sign up for the help.
The U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security said she's pleased to report that the number of people in area shelters have gone down and "it's our goal to make [those] shelters temporary."
Before Sandy started to impact the region, the Obama Administration signed a declaration of emergency for the state of Connecticut. Malloy said at the time the declaration would make it easier for Connecticut to seek federal assistance for cleanup efforts post-Sandy.
On Thursday, the governor said he's been on the phone with President Obama four times in the past few days and Connecticut "is getting all the assistance we ask for."
After viewing the damage in Connecticut first-hand, Napolitano said, "It's one thing to hear about the damage, it's another thing to see it."

TK Hulin
On the other end of the rock and roll spectrum, what happens when TK meets GG? Things get TKO with some OGs. Then the music starts. Be there to witness the double team of two
Even further out into the stratosphere is the band Really, Really. Really, Really has been described as many different things. In a previous issue, I described them as Krokus meets the Necroes in a dark basement with the ghost of Ian Curtis." That still stands. Really, Really like to rock weird while have a good time. They play Artmosphere on Aug. 7 with the contempo-crunch rock of Sunday Morning Headcount.
Out along the periphery, there's a bunch of other stuff going on. It'll be a busy weekend at the Blue Moon. MoFo Party band play on Aug. 5. On Aug. 6, Rufus Jagneaux and Tortue play hit the Moon stage. On the following night Aug. 7, Michael Juan Nunez and the River Babies play Blue Moon…Wildfires and Acadiana play Bisbano's on Aug. 6. Foul Stench of Youth and Jupiter Death Brigade play the following night on Aug. 7.
SEP 17 This post on Time could make Bobby Jindal smile and cry all at the same time. It gives him credit for "subtly shaping" GOP agenda. However, it also says his fast-talking style and "wonk status" (does that mean nerd?) make him "an unlikely fit to be a major party presidential nominee."
SEP 17 The controversy continues at Louisiana College, as some seem loathe to release their grip on the status quo. After the school's accrediting agency suspended the school's ranking and criticized its pattern of dishonesty, four board members had wanted a change in the chairman's position. When that didn't happen, they resigned in protest, the Alexandria Town Talk reports here.
SEP 17 Blogger Lamar White Jr. takes a look at Louisiana's Tea Party, and the decision to classify it as an LLC instead of a political party. He also throws in some illuminating facts about the so-called IRS "witch hunt" against Tea Party groups -- which, it turns out, was nothing of the kind.
SEP 17 This post on CNN features Bobby Jindal being supremely indifferent to poll numbers that have him (as blogger Tom Aswell has so poetically stated) coming in 12th in a 10-man race. Bobby's decision won't be based on poll numbers, he says; he's thinking and praying. Hey B - maybe God's trying to tell you something?
SEP 17 A state district judge ruled the so-called Edmonson Amendment unconstitutional in Baton Rouge Tuesday, and declared it null and void, the Picayune tells us in this post. Edmonson himself is saying (now) he always felt it wasn't right, and is so glad this happened. Uh... what?
SEP 17 Blogger Tom Aswell gives us his take on the demise of the Edmonson Amendment, and reveals the use of a "hurt feelings report" by a state police official. The report, which resulted in the firing of a football coach in another state, is pretty bad.
SEP 17 If the "when white people fight" video was the war side, blogger Mighty Favog has found the love side. Here's a video of two (let us hope they aren't sober) inebriated white people who got so carried away in their demonstration of, er, affection that they fell. In Tiger Stadium. During the game. The best part is the reaction (or lack thereof) among their fellow fans. (Hey, there's a game going on!)
SEP 17 When someone tells you that New Orleans is lousy with singles, the first thing that comes to mind might be a fist full of stripper bait. But, as this story on NOLA Defender tells us, NOLA leads the nation in single people. That's a good thing, NoDef says, because they are full of fresh ideas. (Yeah - and kale.)
SEP 16 Here's something for LSU to be proud of. It's a video of some (presumed) 'frat boys' manhandling another young man who is not wearing a polo shirt and khakis on the parade grounds prior to Saturday's LSU football game. The best part of this brief video is the look on the face of the guy who shot it, who also is (presumably) responsible for the title of the tape.
SEP 16 Finally, something useful from a daily newspaper. Here's a story in the Picayune about the Jambalaya Calculator, a free-to-download spreadsheet that helps hungry Cajuns calculate ingredients for the dish.
SEP 16 Here's a post from the Facebook page of the Al Berard Music Festival, announcing the date of the new event to honor the musician's memory and to raise money for the Al Berard Memorial Music Fund at Community Foundation of Acadiana. They're seeking volunteers, if you want to help.

Volunteers Key to IFR Proficiency Center Success
MA – Kalamazoo, MI - 14 August 2014 - One of the most popular events
at this year's EAA AirVenture was IMC Club's IFR Proficiency Center. Volunteers from the National Association of
Flight Instructors (NAFI) provided instruction to IFR pilots placed in a
scenario to test their real-world skill. Using Redbird flight training devices
and simulated ATC communications provided by Pilot's Edge, pilots had to
exercise their IFR skills in real-time without pause, ranging from being vectored
to approaches to taking IFR clearances on the ground prior to take off and
flight. Up to eight pilots were using
the same simulated airspace at one time, making the scenarios even more
realistic. Coaching from NAFI
instructors was key in training pilots and making the experience a positive
The simulator scenarios have been co-developed by
the IMC Club and the Redbird Simulator team for use exclusively in Redbird
flight simulators.
Radek Wyrzykowski, IMC Club president said:
"Without the generous help of NAFI members, we could not have made this
work. All of our volunteers and the
pilots that participated found the experience rewarding and enjoyable."
The National Association of Flight Instructors
(NAFI) is an international professional association of certificated flight
instructors (CFIs) and flight training organizations (FTOs). NAFI is committed
to helping its CFI members improve their skills and its FTO members improve
their operations in order to produce better pilots.
NAFI CFIs are some of the most dedicated and active
flight instructors in the world and are now teaching in 26 countries. In
addition to instructing as independent flight instructors NAFI CFI members
instruct in all manner of flight training organizations; flight schools,
universities, corporate flight departments, fixed base operators, airlines and
the military.
The concept behind the IMC Club is to create local
communities of instrument rated pilots, and aspiring instrument pilots, around
the country and around the world, who regularly meet to discuss topics and
share information relative to instrument flying. This "organized hangar
flying" promotes the sharing of experience among attendees.
Thank You!
IMC Club Chapter leader, Brian Handy died in a plane crash on Monday
It is with great sorrow that I share with you the news that our friend, fellow aviator and Bozmen, Montana IMC Club Chapter leader, Brian Handy died in a plane crash on Monday, July 21, 2014. His Cessna 150 impacted terrain near The Russian Flat airstrip, about 30 miles southwest of Stanford. Brian joined our organization in January of this year and right away volunteered his time and energy to open and head our Bozmen, Montana Chapter. His selflessness and contribution to aviation safety will never be forgotten. He will be missed as a friend and fellow pilot.
Thank you Brian for all of your contribution to general aviation. It was an honor and a privilege to be a part of your aviation experience. Your voluntarism, love of flying and wiliness to help fellow pilots has, and will always continue to influence each and every one of us.
Our hearts go out to Brian's family in this time of sorrow.

EFB Challenge Launched To Advance The
Use Of iPad & Tablet EFBs
Lakeland, FL - MyGoFlight
and the IMC Club announced a jointly led contest to understand and advance the
use of low cost, readily available tablets such as an iPad as an EFB.
Interested pilot contestants will enter local contests and winners will advance
to regional events. Regional finalists will compete nationally during EAA AirVenture
2015 in Oshkosh. Pilots will be measured on their use of the tablet as an EFB
in terms of efficiency, proficiency and accuracy in aeronautical decision
making during flight planning, pre-flight and in-flight real world situations.
The goals are to:
1) Create an understanding of how pilots use their EFBs and identify what
proficiency looks like 2) Identify where improvements to tools or instruction
are needed. 3) Get more pilots to see and understand the benefits of flying
with an EFB 4) Identify the best of the best!
"The iPad has seen fast adoption by a large
number of pilots," said Tom Haines, AOPA Editor in Chief and EFB Challenge
sponsor. "Yet there is much we need to
learn about how these devices are being used and where opportunities exist for
pilots to expand their capabilities or where apps need to improve. We look
forward to providing our input into this effort and seeing the results."
"For the first
time, there is a single device that can be consistently found in airplanes old
and new, owned and rented and in general, commercial and military aviation –
the iPad" said Tom Bliss, Publisher of AvWeb and EFB Challenge sponsor. "This
has never happened before. What does this mean? What needs to be done to take
advantage of this situation? We want to help find out."
The first contest took
place during Sun-n-Fun 2014 in Lakeland, Florida during MyGoFlight's iPad Takes
Flight! – EFB Challenge forum sessions.
"The EFB Challenge
is a way to showcase the capabilities of pilots & the iPad" said Charles
Schneider, CEO of MyGoFlight. "We want to demonstrate how EFBs can be used by
pilots to make flying safer and more enjoyable. We want to promote more
advanced use and wider adoption of the iPad and EFBs."
"Our goal is for
pilots and their instructors to incorporate the iPad as an EFB," said Radek
Wyrzykowski, president, IMC Club International. "It is important to establish
proficiency standards and to help build capabilities that go far beyond paper
chart replacement. Capabilities that will help pilots make better and faster
IMC Chapters will
host local and regional contests. If you would like to enter a contest, please
go to www.imcclubs.org/efbchallenge or www.mygoflight.com/efbchallenge/ and sign up for the EFB Challenge newsletter. You will be contacted as contests

iFlightPlanner Releases iFlightPlanner for iPad v2.0 with IMC
Club Proficiency Tracker
Ann Arbor, MI – iFlightPlanner officially announced the
release of iFlightPlanner for iPad v2.0, the highly-anticipated upgrade to its
iPad-based flight planning solution presented by Sennheiser. In addition to
countless enhancements to the pilot experience throughout the app,
iFlightPlanner for iPad now parallels the intuitive flight planning
functionality found on iFlightPlanner.com with enhanced location-based features
made possible by the iPad. The all-new features include;
"We are extremely excited to be introducing iFlightPlanner
for iPad v2.0," said Andy Matthews, iFlightPlanner's Co- Founder & Director
of Business Development. "An incredible amount of effort was put forth by our
Crew to make so many great features come together in a way that not only
responded to our members' feedback but truly enhanced the overall experience of
flying with iFlightPlanner. We couldn't be more pleased!"
In addition to the all-new feature set, iFlightPlanner for
iPad v2.0 is one of the first comprehensive flight planning apps for pilots
with an interface that fully complies with Apple's iOS 7 Human Interface
Guidelines. That design work was the catalyst for a similar redesign of
iFlightPlanner.com, the hub of iFlightPlanner's integrated flight planning
John Burnside, iFlightPlanner's Co-Founder and Director of
Technology, lead iFlightPlanner in its strategy to make the entire set of
features work together seamlessly. "Through a lot of discussion with our
members, it became clear that each critical element – whether it be the route,
certified weather brief, or weight and balance – should share core information
and be able to communicate with each other, preventing duplicate data entry by
users. The restructured 'Flights' tab within the app is the result of that
vision and has created the perfect foundation to introduce new features without
overwhelming pilots."
One of the key features benefiting from this new foundation
is iFlightPlanner Premium Business, iFlightPlanner's multi- user platform
designed for charter operators, corporate flight departments and flying
organizations with the need to seamlessly share flight and aircraft information
amongst their respective pilots, dispatchers, and members.
The iFlightPlanner Crew will be at SUN 'n FUN 2014, April 1
– 6, in Lakeland, FL with Sennheiser Aviation, the presenting sponsor of
iFlightPlanner for iPad, in Booths B-084 and B-085. Pilots are encouraged to
stop by for their personal introduction or visit www.iFlightPlanner.com for
more information!
iFlightPlanner Premium memberships start at just $9.95/month
and include access to iFlightPlanner's cloud-based flight planning technology
across all of its platforms, including iFlightPlanner for iPad. iFlightPlanner
Free memberships are available with no obligation and allow pilots to leverage
much of iFlightPlanner's web-based technology with limited, read-only
functionality on the iPad. A one-time, 30-day free trial to iFlightPlanner
Premium is also available via the App Store.
