The main objective of this exercise was to conceptualize various fluid experiences for a deals website (pc).
1. The first concept was a grid based design where widgets can be added, moved or closed on the UI. This smart interface understands the users previous request and rearranges itself to show the best options for the user. When users starts a string of data in the search form on the fixed search box, widgets appear and disappear based on what the user is currently looking for.
2. The second concept, scroll, uses a monthly-calendar to enable the user glance at once, the cheapest flights in a month. He can directly book his trip from the calendar with the help of prompts that appear when he elects dates.
3. The concept bubble is a fluid interaction where the user has to input his requirements using various fun filters like his mood, budget or driving distance. Deal bubbles of various sizes and colors (based on the filters) poplulate the screen. The user can view and save the deals simply by dragging and dropping the bubbles onto his deals chest.

A photo album of the event is located on the Photo Gallery page.
In April, Roland Ries, Mayor of Strasbourg, visited Boston to attend the marathon and meet with Mayor Walsh and city officials.
In a gesture of solidarity, our sister city, Strasbourg, raised over 600 euro for The One Fund Boston (onefundboston.org). Over 10,000 runners participated in the annual "Courses de Strasbourg Europe" on Sunday, May 12, 2013, and the event was dedicated to the City of Boston and the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.
Many of the runners wore "Honor Boston" tee-shirts or stickers. The City of Boston was represented in the semi-marathon by Somerville resident and runner Elisabeth Duclos-Orsello, who thanked the crowd of over 2,400 for their support prior to the race.

In "Ex-principal: 'Never really told the truth' to special ed parents—
Ex-principal: I lied to parents of special-needs kids," Shannon Mullen of the Ashbury Park (NJ, US) Press recounts a story about Sheldon Boxer, a former school administrator who says that, as a means to save funds, he misrepresented the needs of students with disabilities and the capacity of schools to serve them. Mr. Boxer accuses an attorney working with the local education agency of leading the effort without every actually issuing an edict that the purpose was to hold down costs.
Ms. Mullen captures some he-said, he-said in her story as well as some human interest (a case of a child with substantial special education needs whose parents contend say he was not provided appropriate services). You can read Ms. Mullen's report of this sad special education story in its original form (or snag this single-page version).

Lucknow, Oct 20: Bitiya, a teenage girl and an excellent student is said to be a rapist's nightmare.
Bitiya's heart-wrenching tragic tale was given international media coverage by Nicholas Kristof, a Columnist at The New York Times, on Oct 17, titled, "A Rapist's Nightmare". He uncovers the story of a 15-year-old girl, who is a dalit and acts as an inspiration to fight back against the perpetrators of women's dignity.
Know Bitiya's horror story:
In 2012, when Bitiya (as she likes to be called) was 12-year-old, she was stripped and raped by four men belonging to upper-caste, in a field. The accused men made the video of the dastardly act and threatened her of dire consequences if she disclosed the incident to anyone. They also warned her to kill her brother.
Horrified by their threats, Bitiya did not reveal the incident to anyone, keeping in mind the social taboos and her family's honour and safety.
Few weeks later after the incident, Bitiya's father was shocked to find a 15-year-old boy watching a pornographic video, featuring his daughter! The monsters, who raped Bitiya, had sold the video to make quick money.
After getting to know the truth, her father filed a police complaint.
When the neighbours got to know about Bitiya's ordeal, some elderly people suggested that she should be barred from going to school, while putting the blame on her.
But with public outcry, the local public school was forced to take back Bitiya.
Eventually, the four men, who sexually assaulted Bitiya were arrested, but were later released.
As the trial procedure continued, Bitiya's father passed away due to cardiac arrest, during one of the court hearing.
The poor family struggles to even afford food, as her 16-year-old brother is frightened to go outside in search of a job, following the threat by accused men.
The accused even tried to settle down the case outside court by offering her money, that she flatly refused to accept.
In Bitiya's quest for justice, she is joined by her grandfather, who also wants that the accused should be behind bars.
After knowing about Bitiya's story, American Jewish World Service (AJWS) has come forward to support her and ask for donations to the Global Gender-Based Violence Fund.
People have been asking how to help Bitiya, the star of my Sunday column, in her battle to prosecute her rapists. The...Posted by Nicholas Kristof on Monday, October 19, 2015

On All Orders Over $99
BrakeMaster is Roadmaster's direct proportional braking system. This Model 9060 is designed for motorhomes with air or air over hydraulic brakes and includes breakaway — BrakeMaster is recommended if you don't frequently change motorhomes or towed vehicles. Because it connects directly to the motorhome's braking system, the initial installation is longer than a portable system. But once installed, it's the most reliable braking system and the easiest to use. What is BrakeMaster?BrakeMaster, ROADMASTER's 'direct' proportional braking system, we have not seen a better supplemental braking system. Connects directly to the motorhomes air or air over hydraulic braking system, and delivers rock-solid, reliable braking.The motorhomes brake line pressure controls the brakes in the towed vehicle.BrakeMaster is a truly proportional because it connects directly to what powers your motorhomes brakes, truly synchronized braking system. The way you brake the motorhome, BrakeMaster automatically applies the same pressure in the towed vehicle, every time.Quickly connects and disconnects from the towed vehicle without any tools, adjustments or settings. Simply attach the brake pedal clamp, secure to the floor or seat adaptor, quick-connect the air hose, and you are ready to tow. Brakemaster only weighs 5 1/2 pounds and measures under two feet in length so it stores almost anywhere.
Important Brakemaster floor mount and seat adapter sold seperate. Call our experts at (866) 305-8309
Click here for seat adapter
Brakemaster is compatible with most motorhomes Proportionate braking for almost any towed vehicle with power brakes Visually monitor braking activity from the motorhome or coach Switch from towed car to road car in seconds! Includes an integrated break away emergency braking system Complies with U.S. and Canadian braking requirementsBrakeAway towed car emergency braking system works in conjunction with your BrakeMaster to bring your towed vehicle to a controlled stop should it ever separate from your motorhome. ROADMASTER seat adaptors are required on some vehicles, and simplify the installation on others.
What is BrakeMaster? BrakeMaster connects directly to the motorhome's air or hydraulic brake system, so that brake line pressure in the motorhome controls the brakes in the towed vehicle. Because it connects directly to what powers your motorhomes brakes, BrakeMaster is a truly synchronized, proportional braking system.
What does 'proportional braking' mean? Proportional braking is even braking — your towed vehicle's brakes respond to your motorhomes brakes, at the same time and at the same intensity.
How does BrakeMaster work? BrakeMaster uses air pressure to proportionately activate an air cylinder that applies the brakes in the towed vehicle just as if you were pressing on them yourself.
Where does BrakeMaster get its air supply? If your motorhome has air brakes, BrakeMaster is connected to the existing braking system. If your motorhome has hydraulic brakes, there's a BrakeMaster system that includes a compressor to supply air to the BrakeMaster air cylinder.
My vehicle has power brakes, but when the engine is turned off, the power brakes do not function. Will BrakeMaster work on my vehicle? Yes. BrakeMaster is designed to work with vehicles that have a power brake system, but the engine (and the power brakes) are turned off while the vehicle is being towed. Is the motorhome's brake line, or the brake line pressure, compromised in any way? No. Typically, one pre-existing fitting is removed, and replaced with another. This replacement fitting (as well as all hardware used to install BrakeMaster) meets or exceeds the automotive manufacturing standards established by both the Department of Transportation and the American National Standards Institute.
Will it work in my motorhome and towed vehicle? Yes. The BrakeMaster air cylinder is universal, and works in virtually any towed vehicle with power brakes. The type of braking system in your motorhome determines which BrakeMaster is right for you — kits are available for motorhomes with air brakes, air over hydraulic brakes, or hydraulic brakes.
Can I switch it between towed vehicles? Yes. Second vehicle kits are available. These allow you to have a braking system for both (or more) towed vehicles without the expense of another complete system.
Does it fit in my car? BrakeMaster fits in virtually all vehicles.
How long does it take to install? Depending on the type of brakes in your motorhome, the initial installation takes from six to eight hours. After the initial installation, it only takes a minute or two to connect or disconnect from the towed vehicle.
How do I know it's working? A monitor light in the motorhome dash illuminates when the towed vehicle's brakes are applied.
I have an anti-lock braking system on my car. Will BrakeMaster interfere with it? No. Anti-lock braking only works when the car's power is on. Since the power will be turned off when you tow your vehicle, BrakeMaster will not interfere with your anti-lock braking system.
Why is BrakeMaster better? • Rock-solid, reliable braking — because it connects directly to what powers your motorhome's brakes, BrakeMaster is a truly proportional, truly synchronized braking system — however you brake the motorhome, BrakeMaster automatically applies the same pressure. Every time. • Very easy to use — once the system is installed, BrakeMaster connects and disconnects from the towed vehicle in under a minute, without any tools, adjustments or settings. • Weighs just 5.65 pounds and measures under two feet in length — stores almost anywhere. • The towed vehicle's brakes are not altered in any way, so the factory warranty is not affected. • It's made by ROADMASTER, the acknowledged leader in RV towing products. More people put their trust in ROADMASTER towing systems than in any other brand.

Three popular articles this week on HRinfodesk
The three popular articles this week on HRinfodesk deal with: Current and 2017 payroll rates; a case where the Johnstone test is challenged; and an FAQ that addresses Employment Standards Act exemptions, specifically vacation.
Private member's bill would curtail unpaid internships
Opposition MPP Jonah Schein has introduced a private member's bill to place stricter limits on unpaid internships in Ontario. Bill 170, Employment Standards Amendment Act (Greater Protection for Interns and Vulnerable Workers), 2014, doesn't seek to eliminate unpaid internships entirely, but rather hopes to make employers more accountable and give interns (and students) more legal clout.
Do you need a vacation from dealing with vacations?
Creating a vacation policy can be a daunting task and much more complicated than it may seem on the surface. While all jurisdictions have minimum standards with respect to vacation entitlement and vacation pay, many details regarding vacation administration is left to the employer. A vacation policy will ensure management and employees alike understand the details of vacation entitlement and its administration.
Must vacation time be given in consecutive weeks?
Does your vacation policy require employees to take time off in consecutive weeks? What does the law say? The answer: it depends on the jurisdiction.
Thinking of vacation? You're not alone
Thinking of vacation? You're not alone. Both Expedia and Mercer consultants recently published studies shedding light on employees' views on vacation time.
Vacation scheduling for the summer starts now!
As a Human Resources Generalist or as a manager or department supervisor, this is the time of year that the memo goes around the office: ALL EMPLOYEES PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR VACATION REQUESTS. How you set up your procedures and policies is key to a smooth and organized vacation schedule that balances your employees' vacation requests and your organizational demands.
Sick days or personal days?
Employers are often at a loss as to how to ensure employees who take sick days are really sick and not simply abusing the system. They are often scared to ask for doctor's notes, but also scared that if they don't, the abuse will become rampant. I often encourage employers to consider abandoning the notion of sick days altogether, and simply provide a fixed number of "personal days", which eliminates the implicit or explicit requirement that an individual be sick in order to have time off.
Summertime, when everybody wants vacation
Under the provisions of the Ontario Employment Standards Act, every employee is entitled to a minimum of two weeks vacation after twelve consecutive months of employment. Of course, this is subject to…
The season of stress?
What types of pressures you're feeling this season—both at and away from work—and how do you deal with them? My coping method is to pray desperately for vacation (four days away!) and think about how great I'll feel in the new year.
Do vacations stress you out? (Part two)
So it's practically summer and I can't help thinking of the days off I'll be taking here and there, the chunk of vacation time I still have left and the various long weekends remaining. (But I don't let my daydreams affect my work!) I might not have a lot of vacation days left, but I'm sure going to use them.
Hours of work: What counts as 'work' in the Blackberry era?
I lifted that title from a presentation at the recent Davis LLP employment law update, because I don't think I need to improve on it. The question seems simple, but I'm certain that it has got many employers and human resources departments wishing the handy devices had never been invented! (Okay, maybe not that confused.)
Do vacations stress you out?
Have you ever had a vacation that was just long enough? At the end of a week off, have you ever thought, "That was perfect, and now I can't wait to get back to work"?

Private Secretaries to the Prime Minister (Routledge Studies in Modern British History)
- Foreign Affairs from Churchill to Thatcher
(Bog, hardback)
The importance of the Prime Minister in British foreign policy decision-making has long been accepted by historians. However, whilst much attention has been given to high level contacts between leaders and to the roles played by the Premiers themselves, much less is known about the pe... Læs mere ople advising and influencing them. In providing day-to-day assistance to the Prime Minister, the Private Secretary could wield significant influence in policy outcomes. This book examines the activities of those who advised Prime Ministers from Winston Churchill (1951-55) to Margaret Thatcher during her first administration (1979-83). Each individual chapter considers both British foreign policy and assess the influence of the specific advisers. For each office holder, particular attention is paid to a number of key themes. Firstly, their relations with the Prime Minister is considered. A strong personal relationship of trust and respect could lead to an official wielding much greater influence. This could be especially relevant when an adviser served under two different leaders, often from different political parties. It also helps shed light on the conduct of foreign policy by each Premier.Secondly, the attitudes towards the adviser from the Foreign Office are examined. The FO traditionally enjoyed great autonomy in the making of British foreign policy and was sensitive to encroachments by Downing Street. Finally, each chapter explores the role of the adviser in the key foreign policy events and discussions of the day. Covering a fascinating thirty-year period in post-war British political history, this collection both broadens our understanding of the subject, and underlines the different ways influence could be brought to bear on government policy.

Just as Avram could be forgiven for taking management for Grant-ed; a stern footballing lesson. This was substandard in every aspect from Chelsea – apart from the result. As the temperature plummeted, a minus performance.
And when Peter Lovenkrands raced past Michael Essien, a make-shift right-back to replace the woeful Juliano Belletti, in the 88th minute, hearts were in mouths. The Dane's shot was fierce and beat Carlo Cudicini but cannoned back off the far post. If he had scored, then who knows? Chelsea's qualification for the knockout stages would have been far more in the balance.
An eighth successive win for Chelsea would have secured their passage. But it was an evening to forgot – especially for the Brazilian defenders Alex and Belletti, while Wayne Bridge walked away accused of elbowing an opponent in frustration. Chelsea may also have to contend with the loss of Petr Cech. The goalkeeper damaged his calf in a first-half scramble and had to be replaced by Cudicini.
"He couldn't continue. How bad is the injury? We'll have to see," Grant said.
The damage could have been far worse had Schalke taken their chances. It certainly makes Chelsea's next encounter, away to Rosenborg, who were victorious in Valencia, a little tastier.
"We wanted to win but it was not easy," Grant said. "A draw for them wasn't good enough so it wasn't a bad result, although it wasn't our best game. After so many good games in a short time we can play a game that is not at the high level. We are still in first place. We started the tournament not very well, but it's still in our hands."
As early as the sixth minute, Didier Drogba almost scored but his shot was pushed away by Manuel Neuer and from then on Chelsea struggled.
It was another Dane, the Schalke striker Soren Larsen, who caught the eye. Twice he cut inside Belletti only for Cech to push away his shots while, from one of a series of corners, Marcelo Bordon stole in front of Drogba but headed over. He should have scored.
The pressure rose. Cech flapped at another corner, the ball fell to Larsen, again, and he hooked it goalwards only for Florent Malouda to clear off the line while Ricardo Carvalho, charging back, dispossessed Mesut Ozil.
Chelsea were in desperate need of respite and almost secured it when Joe Cole squeezed a pass to Drogba. Through again, his shot cannoned off Neuer's chest. Cudicini, soon after his arrival, performed a similar save from Ozil and the second-half pattern took on an even more lop-sided feel. Schalke attacked, Chelsea retreated and, from one more corner, Cudicini was alert to prevent Ivan Rakitic's fierce inswinging shot from dipping inside the near post.
By now, the alarm bells were not so much ringing, as rapidly increasing in decibels. In defence Chelsea were ragged, as yet another cross was bounced along the six-yard area before Cudicini was deceived by Rafinha's lob. And then Lovenkrands almost won it at the death. But Chelsea escaped. "It wasn't a bad game for us," Grant said. However, it was certainly a bad performance.

German blogger Kitesurfer added a few innovative touches when building a charging station into an Ikea Expedit Bookcase. The charging station involves creating a chipboard panel to cover a power strip leaving the cables feeding through the panel to the cubby. Kitesurfer takes this basic design a step further by adding digital picture frame displaying various battery charge images.
Another interesting feature is that the power strip plugs into an outlet switch so it can be turned off when not in use to eliminate vampire power loads.

Funding the Trust: State Aid Impact Shared cost, the amount of expense eligible for equalization aid, is recognized in the fiscal year that the transfer is made. 4

Potential Pros and Cons Allows districts to set aside funds for capital projects May level out expenses for shared cost (rather than a large project expenditure in Fund 10) Opportunity for end of fiscal year expenditure May not use funds for an initial five year period May only use funds for capital facility projects 12
Requirements for Fund 46 Board approved long-term capital improvement plan (minimum of 10 years) Funds may only be accessed five years after the establishment of the "trust" fund. Funds must be physically deposited and held in a segregated bank/investment (separate and distinct from other district accounts) until they are expended for capital improvement projects per the district's plan. Funds invested as per sec. 66.0603, Wis. Stats. Timing Requirements 13
PI-80 Community Programs and Services The Department is required to define ineligible costs for Community Programs and Services by administrative rule. PI-80 emergency rules took effect on July 1, 2014. 15
PI-80 Community Programs and Services Statutory authority: 120.13 (19) C OMMUNITY PROGRAMS AND SERVICES. Establish and maintain community education, training, recreational, cultural or athletic programs and services, outside the regular curricular and extracurricular programs for pupils, under such terms and conditions as the school board prescribes. The school board may establish and collect fees to cover all or part of the costs of such programs and services. The school board may not expend moneys on ineligible costs, as defined by the department by rule. Costs associated with such programs and services shall not be included in the school district's shared cost under s. 121.07 (6). 16
PI-80 Community Programs and Services (New Rule) Ineligible costs means school district costs that are not the actual, additional costs to operate community programs and services. First, costs are ineligible if they are not costs to operate community programs and services. Community programs and services do not include any program that is limited to only school district pupils or any program or service whose schedule presents a significant barrier for age-appropriate school district residents to participate in the program or service. Second, costs must not only be costs to operate community programs and services to be eligible but also must be actual, additional costs. Ineligible costs include costs that would be incurred by the school district if the community programs and services were not provided by the school district. 17
PI-80 Community Programs and Services (New Rule) PI 80.02 Definitions. In this chapter: "Community programs and services" does not include: ◦ Any program or service that is limited to only school district pupils. ◦ Any program or service whose schedule presents a significant barrier for age-appropriate school district residents to participate in the program or service. "Ineligible costs" means school district costs that are not the actual, additional costs to operate community programs and services under s. 120.13 (19), Stats. "Ineligible costs" includes costs that would be incurred by the school district if the community programs and services were not provided by the school district. 18
PI-80 Community Programs and Services (New Rule) Provide you with some basic information about the impact of transitioning from DPI guidelines, to criteria, and now to administrative rules. It is important to understand that an emergency rule has the power of law until the process has been completed. The legislature will review the rule and have the ability to modify the rule in the spring of 2015. 19
PI-80 Community Programs and Services (New Rule) What does "actual" and "additional" costs mean to a school district? A cost, that if the ability to operate the Community Service Fund (Fund 80) ended; a school district, would not have to move those costs to the General Fund (Fund 10) to continue the regular curricular and extracurricular programs for its students. A few examples: ◦ Before school and after school childcare open to any district resident. ◦ Adult technology classes held at the local public library. ◦ Adult literacy classes held at a township hall within the school district. 20
PI-80 Community Programs and Services (New Rule) What does "actual" and "additional" costs mean to a school district? A more complex example: The summer baseball program for all interested resident students uses the school district's ball diamond for games, after the high school season is over. ◦ District employees do the mowing, mark the field, and clean up after the game. The field does not have lights and the concession stand is not operating. Each District employee logs their time related to this program and based on past records the total hours/game are determined and charged to Fund 80. The related costs for mower fuel and field paint is based on past years records and are charged to Fund 80.. 21
PI-80 Community Programs and Services (New Rule) What does "actual" and "additional" costs mean to a school district? An example of an expense not meeting this standard: An adult ballroom dance class is held one night a week for 6 weeks in the middle school gym. It has the facility for a 3 hour period of time. The class instructor or a participant sweeps the floor before the class starts. The custodial staff do not clean the gym or restrooms in this part of the building until after everyone from the class has left the school. There can be no custodial time or related costs charged to Fund 80 for this class as there was no actual or additional cost incurred. 22
Community Service Fund 80 – Levy Limit Current law limits the Fund 80 levy authority. The levy limit is the same for FY 14 & FY 15. The levy limit expires after 2014-15. 2013 Act 46 amended the levy limitation: 2011 Fund 80 levy if more than the 2012 levy; and Less than $1,000,000. To exceed this levy limit, requires the district to hold a referendum. 23

A highly secretive meeting of interior ministers and officials took place in Vienna last Thursday to discuss sending back ethnic Albanians from Kosovo through Fyrom, officials and refugee workers in several European capitals have told the Independent. The meeting was aimed at putting pressure on Skopje to reopen its border with Kosovo, officials said.
'It was surrounded by secrecy,' said Gerald Kador of Amnesty International in Vienna. 'We are very concerned about what might have been agreed.' The meeting was discovered after chance comments by a Dutch official alerted Claudia Roth, a Green MEP.
The meeting included representatives from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway as well as Fyrom, the sources said. Other countries may also have been represented, including the Netherlands. The meeting was organised by the Austrian Interior Ministry and a private think-tank. A memorandum of understanding was signed at the end of the meeting, officials say. Its terms have not been disclosed, but it is likely to have included assistance to Skopje in return for its co-operation.
Austrian Interior Ministry officials have refused to discuss the issues raised, and the meeting was shadowy even by the standards of the secretive groups that co-ordinate immigration, according to refugee workers.
There is no official estimate for the number of Kosovo Albanians in Western Europe, but they form a large part of the refugees from former Yugoslavia, with perhaps 200,000 in Germany alone.
It is believed the meeting was aimed at reopening the border between Fyrom and Kosovo, closed last October after complaints from the former about the number of refugees being returned.

BBI 3219 Semantik & Pragmatik
TOPIC 1Figurative Language - Compositional meaning - The Principle of Compositionality - Metaphor, Metonymy, Idioms - Synecdoche 2Presupposition, entailment 3Contextual meaning / context and inference - Utterance meaning - Deixis, reference 4Cooperation and Implicature - The cooperative principle, Grice's maxim - Conversational implicature, Relevance Theory - Conventional implicature 5Speech Acts and Events - The speech act theory - Felicity conditions - Speech act classification 6Politeness and Interaction - Politeness theory - Positive and negative face - Positive and negative politeness
The study of meaning in context – Situational context – Linguistic context – Social context Utterances not sentences 1.Deixis 2.Speech Acts 3.Cooperation Principles & Implicature 4.Politeness Pragmatics
Deixis "Deixis is a technical term (from Greek) - 'pointing' via language. Any linguistic form used to accomplish this 'pointing' is called a deictic expression. When you notice a strange object and ask, 'What's that?', you are using a deictic expression('that') to indicate something in the immediate context. Deictic expressions are also sometimes called indexicals. [Yule, 1996: 9]
Person deixis: Any expression used to point to a person (me, you, him, them) Place / Spatial deixis: Words used to point to a location (here, there, yonder) Time / Temporal deixis: used to point to a time (now, then, tonight, last week) All these deictic expressions have to be interpreted in terms of what person, place or time the speaker has in mind. There is a broad distinction between what is marked as close to the speaker (this, here, now) and what is marked as distant (that, there, then). It is also possible to mark whether movement is happening towards the speaker's location (come) or away from the speaker's location (go).
Temporal Deixis: Tenses indicating past, present, and future time must also be regarded as deictic, because past, present, and future times are defined by reference to the time of utterance. – The present tense - proximal form – the past tense - distal form. The actual distance or proximity to be expressed means not only the distance from current time, but also distance from current reality or facts (Yule 1996, 14-15).(Yule 1996, 14-15) Coding vs receiving time: – An utterance in present tense was produced "during a temporal span including the coding time" (Levinson 2005, 115).(Levinson 2005, 115) – Past tense would mean that the event took place before the coding time.
Declarative sentences like Declarative sentences like There's a snake in the grass may involve more than a description of the world: The speaker could be: 1.guessing that there was a snake in the grass 2.claiming... 3.warning the hearer that... 4.expressing his surprize that... 5.expressing his relief that there is...
Language can be used not just for describing the thoughts and beliefs conveyed, but rather of the acts the speakers perform: the illocutionary forces of uttrances. State Conclude Apologize Complain Reprimand Correct Offer Invite Greet Congratulate We do things things with words with words
A speech act is an action performed by means of language Ex.: describing something ("It is snowing.") asking a question ("Is it snowing?") making a request or order ("Could you pass the salt?", "Drop your weapon or I'll shoot you!") making a promise ("I promise I'll give it back.")
We use language to do a wide range of things. Ex.: Conveying information: The PM is out of the country. Requesting information: When and where is the lecture? Giving orders: Stand up! Making requests: Please, carry my bags. Making threats: Do that again, and I'll send you to your room. Giving warnings: There's a spider on your shoulder. Giving advice: You ought to go to the lectures every week. and so on...
A PERFORMATIVE utterance is one that actually describes the act that it performs, i.e. it PERFORMS some act and SIMULTANEOUSLY DESCRIBES that act. Which one is a performative and which is not? Why? a)'I promise to repay you tomorrow' b)'John promised to repay me tomorrow'
'I promise to repay you tomorrow' is performative because in saying it the speaker actually does what the utterance describes, i.e. he promises to repay the hearer the next day. That is, the utterance both describes and is a promise. 'John promised to repay me tomorrow', although it describes a promise, is not itself a promise.
Performatives vs. Constatives Performatives: Utterances that are used to do things or perform acts. 1. I pronounce you man and wife. 2. I sentence you to 50 years in prison. 3. I promise to drive you to Singapore. Austin initially also believes that Performatives can not be verified as true or false. Constatives: Utterances that can be verified as true or false. These utterances were typically in the form of assertions or statements. "The Michigan River sometimes freezes over".
PERFORMATIVE VERBS I assert that | the Prime Minister is out of the country. I ask | when and where is the lecture? I order you to | stand up. I request that you | carry my bags. I warn you that if you | do that again, and I'll send you to your room. I warn you that | there's a spider on your shoulder. I bet you | fifty dollars that New Zealand will beat Australia in the Rugby World Cup. I advise you to | go to the lectures every week. These sentences have verbs that state the speech act. These sentences are explicit performatives. These verbs are called performative verbs. These verbs can be used to perform the acts they name.
Not every speech act has its own explicit performative verb…….. The performative hypothesis Ex.: Clean up this mess! This is an impicit performative (no performative verb is present) How can I define its communicative intention / what kind of speech act is it?
The "hereby" test One simple way to decide whether a speech act is a performative (an implicit performative) is to insert the word "hereby" between subject and verb. If the resulting utterance makes sense, then the speech act is probably a performative. Hereby: As a result of this, by this means Ex: Clean up this mess! I hereby order you that you clean up this mess. (ordering) Please, take out the garbage. I hereby request you to take out the garbage. (making a request)
In order for a performative utterance to 'work', there are certain conditions that have to be met. Austin called these felicity conditions—they're the conditions that must be in place for the act in question to come off successfully (or felicitously). FELICITY CONDITIONS
The context and the situation that allow us to recognize a speech act as intended by the speaker. The conditions that must be fulfilled for a speech act to be satisfactorily performed or realized A sentence must not only be grammatically correct, it must also be felicitous, that is situationally appropriate.
FELICITY CONDITIONS Felicity conditions: expected or appropriate circumstances for a speech act to be recognized as intended I sentence you to six months in prison - performance will be infelicitous if the speaker is not a judge in a courtroom
Locutionary, Illocutionary and Perlocutionary Speech Acts Austin (1962) says that when a speaker utters a sentence, s/he may perform three types of acts: locutionary act, illocutionary act and perlocutionary act.
Locutionary Act The basic act of speaking Making meaningful utterance An act of uttering a sentence with a certain sense and reference, which is roughly equivalent to 'meaning' in the traditional sense. (1)The final exam will be difficult.
Ilocutionary Act an act of performing some action in saying something (e.g, warning); Is the speaker's intention. What is said has a purpose in mind. An utterance either verbal or written with the purpose in mind to fulfill an intention or accomplish an action. Performing an Illocutionary act means issuing an utterance that carries an illocutionary force/point.
Ilocutionary Act Examples of illocutionary forces would be accusing, promising, naming, ordering. (1) The final exam will be difficult. By uttering (1), the speaker may be performing the act of informing, claiming, guessing, reminding, warning, threatening, or requesting.
Perlocutionary Act What speakers bring about or achieve by saying something, such as convincing, persuading, deterring. (1) The final exam will be difficult. By uttering (1), I may have achieved in convincing you to study harder for the final exam
A sentence can be associated with several different illocutionary forces, depending on the discourse context. (3) I will send you an email next week. By uttering (3) the speaker can report a decision, and at the same time make a promise.

Types of Illocutionary act Searle classifies Speech Acts into five categories: 1.Assertives/ Representatives: commit the Speaker to the truth of the expressed proposition. They have a truth value and express Speaker's belief that p. Paradigm cases: asserting, concluding, affirming, alleging, announcing, answering, attributing, claiming, classifying, concurring, confirming, conjecturing, denying, disagreeing, disclosing, disputing, identifying, informing, insisting, predicting, ranking, reporting, stating, stipulating.
Searle's speech act classification 2. Directives: are Speech Acts which are attempts the Speaker makes in order to get the addressee engage in a certain action. They express Speaker's wish that Hearer do the act A. Paradigm cases include requesting, questioning, advising, admonishing, asking, begging, dismissing, excusing, forbidding, instructing, ordering, permitting, requiring, suggesting, urging, warning.
Searle's speech act classification 3. Commissives: commit Speaker to some future course of action. Speaker expresses the intention that Speaker do the act A. Paradigm cases comprise promising, threatening, offering, agreeing, guaranteeing, inviting, swearing, volunteering.
Searle's speech act classification 4. Expressives express Speaker's attitude to a certain state of affairs specified (if at all) in the propositional content; a variety of different psychological states; propositional content must be related to Speaker or Hearer. Paradigm cases: thanking, apologizing, welcoming, congratulating, condoling, greeting, accepting.
Searle's speech act classification 5. Declarations are Speech Acts which effect immediate changes in the institutional state of affairs and which tend to rely on elaborate extralinguistic institutions. Paradigm cases include excommunicating, declaring war, christening, marrying, firing from employment.
A single utterance can express two different illocutionary forces at the same time. (1) I will send you an email next week. By uttering (1), the speaker can report a decision, and at the same time make a promise.
Indirect speech acts Searle also recognized the existence of INDIRECT SPEECH ACTS. In a direct speech act there is a direct relationship between its linguistic structure and the work it is doing. In indirect speech acts the speech act is performed indirectly through the performance of another speech act."
1(a) 'Come in, please.' is a direct request. 2(a) 'It is quite wrong to condone robbery.' is a direct assertion against robbery. 3(a) 'You should go to the doctor.' is a direct piece of advice. Performing an indirect speech act, the speaker utters a sentence which does not mean exactly what he or she says: 1(b) 'Won't you come in?' is not merely a Yes-No question. an indirect request made in a very concerned manner. 2(b) 'Is it right to condone robbery?' is an indirect assertion against, robbery though it is in form of a Yes-No question. 3(b) 'Why don't you go to the doctor?' is not used to ask for any reason. Instead, it is used to give an indirect piece of advice though it is in form of a Wh-question
Indirect speech acts are more polite than their direct counterparts. The more indirect a speech act is, the more polite it is. The most influential model of politeness is Brown and Levinson's face-saving-model.
Politeness and interaction General idea of politeness: fixed concept of social behavior/etiquette within a culture, involves certain general principles as being tactful, generous, modest, sympathetic towards others Narrower concept of politeness within an interaction: face = the public self-image of a person (emotional and social sense of self one has and expects everyone else to recognize)
Face is the public self image that every member wants to claim for himself. Individual's self-esteem (face) motivates strategies of politeness (solidarity, restraint, avoidance of unequivocal impositions). Within everyday social interaction people generally behave as if their expectations concerning their face wants (i.e. public self-image) will be respected 1.Positive face 2.Negative face Politeness (Brown and Levinson 1987)
Positive face: individual's desire to be accepted and liked by others; positive self-image or 'personality' Positive politeness orients to preserving the positive face of others. Speech strategies that emphasize solidarity with the addressee, e.g. claiming common ground, conveying that speaker and addressee are co-operators Politeness (Brown and Levinson 1987)
Negative face: individual's right of freedom of actions; the basic claim to territories, personal preserves, rights to non-distraction -- i.e., to freedom of action and freedom from imposition Negative politeness orients to maintaining the negative face of others. Speaker tends to choose the speech strategies that emphasize his deference to the addressee. As rational agents, conversational participants will ideally try to preserve both their own face and the other's in a verbal interaction.
Face-threatening acts (FTAs) are speech acts that intrinsically threaten face, for example complaints, disagreements and requests. Speaker says something that represents a threat to another individual's expectations regarding self- image. FTAs can threaten positive face (e.g. accusations, insults, criticism), negative face (e.g. orders, suggestions, requests) or both positive and negative face (e.g. complaints, threats)
Face saving act: speaker says something to lessen a possible threat Situation: Young neighbour is playing loud music late at night. Older couple cannot sleep. A: I'm going to tell him to stop that awful noise right now! B: Perhaps you could just ask him if he's going to stop soon because it's getting a bit late and people need to get to sleep.
Indirect speech acts Which one does more to save the addressee's negative face? 1)Could you pass the salt? 2)Pass the salt. Is there a difference in positive politeness?
This theory holds that the speakers considering the performance of a speech act will generally choose more polite strategies in proportion to the seriousness of the act. There are four different levels of polite strategies that have the potential to gain the goal: 1.Bald on Record 2.Positive Politeness 3.Negative Politeness 4.Off-record Strategy Politeness Theory (Brown and Levinson 1987)
1.Bald on Record This strategy is a direct way of saying things, without any minimisation to the imposition, in a direct, clear, unambiguous and concise way. Directly address the other person to express your needs Using imperative forms ''Wash your hands'' Generally, however, bald on record expressions are associated with speech events where the speaker assumes he/she has power over the other - in everyday interaction between social equals they are avoided as face threatening acts
2. Positive Politeness Acts of saving or protecting the hearer's positive face This strategy is directed to the addressee's positive face, her/his perennial desire that her/his wants - or the actions, acquisitions, values resulting from them - should be thought of as desirable. A face saving act concerned with the person's positive face will tend to show solidarity, emphasize that both speakers want the same thing and have a common goal e.g. strategies seeking common ground or co--operation, such as in jokes or offers: ''Wash your hands, honey"
Positive Politeness Strategies St. 1 Noticing, attending to H St. 2 Exaggeration St. 3 Intensifying interest to H St. 4 Using in- group identity makers St. 5 Seeking agreement St. 6 Avoiding disagreement St. 7 Presupposition/ raise/ assert common ground St. 8 Joking St. 9 Asserting or presuppose S's knowledge of and concern for H's wants St. 10 Offering and promising St. 11 Being optimistic St. 12 Including both S and H in the activity St. 13 Giving (or ask) reasons St. 14 Assuming or asserting reciprocity St. 15 Giving gifts to H (goods, sympathy, understanding, cooperation)
3. Negative Politeness Negative politeness attends to a person's negative face needs and includes indirectness and apologies. It expresses respect and consideration. A face saving act oriented to a person's negative face tends to show deference, emphasizes the importance of the other's time or concerns and may include an apology for the imposition
3. Negative Politeness Strategy 1: Being conventionally indirect Strategy 2: Questioning, hedge Strategy 3: Being pessimistic Strategy 4: Minimizing the imposition Strategy 5: Giving deference Strategy 6: Apologizing Strategy 7: Impersonalising S and H Strategy 8: Stating the FTA as a general rule
4. Off--record Strategy This strategy is the indirect strategy. It uses indirect language and removes the speaker from the potential to being imposing. statements not directly addressed to another person e.g. off-record strategies, which consist of all types of hints, metaphors, tautologies, etc. `Gardening makes your hands dirty` Uh, I forgot my pen. Where is the pen. Hmm, I wonder where I put my pen
Conversational Implicature
When people talk with each other, they try to converse smoothly and successfully. Cooperation is the basis of successful conversations. Cooperation and Implicature It is the expectation that the listener has towards the speaker. The speaker is supposed to convey true statements and say nothing more than what is required.
The Cooperative Principle Imagine what would happen to language if there were no rules to follow during conversations. Then it would be perfectly acceptable to follow "Hi, how are you doing?" with "cars are typically made from steel", or to simply lie with every statement you made. But then communication would be virtually impossible.
The Cooperative Principle principle of cooperation Grice suggested that conversation is based on a shared principle of cooperation. One of the most basic assumptions we must make for successful communication to take place is that both people in a conversation are cooperating.
Grice's Cooperative Principles The Maxims of Conversation Quality : Try to make your contribution one that is true Quantity: Make your contribution as informative and no more so than is required. Relation: Be relevant Manner: Be perspicuous
The maxims of the cooperative principle The maxim of quantity: – Make your contribution as informative as required; – Do not make your contribution more informative than required. The maxim of quality: – Do not say what you believe to be false; – Do not say that for which you lack adequate evidence. The maxim of relation: – Make your contribution relevant. The maxim of manner: – Be perspicuous, and specifically: avoid obscurity avoid ambiguity be brief be orderly.
The co-operative principle The overriding social rules which speakers follow in conversation. How it works: – The speaker observes the co-operative principle and the hearer assumes that the speakers follow it.
Husband: Where are the car keys? Wife: They're on the table in the hall. The wife has answered clearly (manner) and truthfully (Quality), has given just the right amount of information (Quantity) and has directly addressed her husband's goal in asking the question (Relation). She has said precisely what she meant, no more and no less.
Implicatures Grice's maxims (or, their violation) form the basis for inferences that we draw in conversation, which Grice called implicatures. Grice asserted that different ways of violating these maxims give rise to different types of implicatures.
USING THE MAXIMS TO GENERATE IMPLICATURES Overview: three ways to generate conversational implicatures: 1. Observe the maxims 2. Violate the maxims 3. Flout the maxims
1. Observing the maxims A: I've run out of petrol. B: There's a garage just round the corner. If B's answer is relevant and informative, but not too informative (i.e. with useless, misleading information), it must connect to A's statement.
2. Violating a maxim Violation, takes place when speakers intentionally refrain to apply certain maxims in their conversation to cause misunderstanding on their participants' part or to achieve some other purposes. Mother: Did you study all day long? Son who has been playing all day long: Yes, I've been studying till now! In this exchange, the boy is not truthful and violates the maxim of quality. He is lies to avoid unpleasant consequences.
3. Flouting a maxim The flouting of maxims takes place when individuals deliberately cease to apply the maxims to persuade their listeners to infer the hidden meaning behind the utterances; that is, the speakers employ implicature. Teacher to a student who arrives late more than ten minutes to the class meeting: Wow! You're such a punctual fellow! Welcome to the class. Student: Sorry sir! It won't happen again. The teacher teasing the student and his purpose praising him. He exploits the maxim of quality (being truthful) to be sarcastic. The student seems to notice the purpose behind the teacher's compliment and offers an apology in return.
3. Flouting a maxim Majid and Ali are talking on the phone: Ali: Where are you, Majid? Majid: I'm in my clothes. Majid tells the truth because it is expected that people are always in some clothes, yet he flouts the maxim of quantity because the information is insufficient for Ali. Humorous effect
The flouting of the cooperative principle Assuming that the speaker is a bona fide (goodwill) speaker. Inference comes into play in the conversation. Flouting is effectively an invitation to find a new meaning, beyond `what is said' -- one that makes the utterance co-operative after all Flouting is generally associated with particular rhetorical effects
Implicature can be considered as an additional conveyed meaning (Yule, 1996: 35). It is attained when a speaker intends to communicate more than just what the words mean. It is the speaker who communicates something via implicatures and the listener recognizes those communicated meanings via inference.
Presupposition & Entailment
What on earth is entailment? Examples of entailment for the sentence in (1) are represented in (2). (1) Rover chased three squirrels. (2) a. Something chased three squirrels. b. Rover did something to three squirrels. c. Rover chased three of something. d. Something happened.
Entailment A logical relation between propositions. A proposition P entails a proposition Q, if and only if the truth of Q follows inescapably from the truth of P. e.g. if P is 'Pete killed the wasp' and Q is 'The wasp died' then if P is true, Q must also be true, and if Q is false, P must also be false. The wasp died could not be true any time before it was true that Pete killed the wasp.
The English sentence (14) is normally interpreted so that it entails the sentences in (15) but does not entail those in (16). (14) Lee kissed Kim passionately. (15) a. Lee kissed Kim. b. Kim was kissed by Lee. c. Kim was kissed. d. Lee touched Kim with her lips. (16) a. Lee married Kim. b. Kim kissed Lee. c. Lee kissed Kim many times. d. Lee did not kiss Kim. (Gennaro Chierchia and Sally McConnell-Ginet, Meaning and Grammar: An Introduction to Semantics. MIT Press, 2000)
Entailment PQ It's a dog.It's an animal. All dogs are purpleMy dog is purple. P entails Q if it is the case that whenever P is true, B is true. Test/Justification If there is any situation where A can be true, and B might not be true, then A does NOT entail B. If there is no such situation, then A entails B. Step 1. Assume that A is true. Step 2. Assume that B is NOT true. Step 3. Check for contradiction. → If there is a contradiction, then A entails B. If not, then A does not entail B.
Contradiction Contradictory sentence: A contradictory sentence (or a contradiction) is a sentence which is necessarily false, because of the senses of the words in the sentence. e.g. Elephants are not animals. Cats are fish. A man is a butterfly.
Analytic sentence Analytic sentences are generally self-explanatory. They often have little to no informative value redundant statements Frozen water is ice. Bachelors are unmarried men. Two halves make up a whole. No additional meaning or knowledge is contained in the predicate that is not already given in the subject. Analytic sentences tell us about logic and about language use. They do not give meaningful information about the world
Synthetic Sentence Synthetic statements are based on our sensory data and experience. The truth-value of a synthetic statements cannot be figured out based solely on logic. Children wear hats. The table in the kitchen is round. My computer is on. A synthetic sentence is one which is not analytic or contradictory, but which may be true or false depending on the way the world is.
Anomaly Refers to what happens when you break semantic rules and create nonsensical expressions. An example of a semantic anomaly would be the phrase the cat sewed the milk. It's not ungrammatical, but it is nonsensical since milk cannot be sewn, nor can cats sew with their tiny adorable paws, as far as we know!
Presuppositions Presuppositions can be used to communicate information indirectly. If someone says My brother is rich, we assume that the person has a brother, even though that fact is not explicitly stated. Often, after a conversation has ended, we will realize that some fact imparted to us was not specifically mentioned. That fact is often a presupposition.
Presuppositions The propositions or beliefs assumed by an utterance. Those people stopped smoking presupposes that (1)the designated people exist; (2)that the activity called smoking exists; (3)that that activity is known to the hearers; and (4)that the designated people habitually smoked in the past.
Your brother is waiting outside for you Presupposition you have a brother. Why did you arrive late? Presupposition you did arrive late. When did you stop smoking cigars? Presupposition: 1.you used to smoke cigars 2.you no longer do so.
Questions like this, with built-in presuppositions, are very useful devices for interrogators or trial lawyers. If the defendant is asked by the prosecutor : Okay, Mr. Smith, how fast were you going when you ran the red light? Presupposition: Mr. Smith did, in fact, run the red light. If he simply answers the How fast part of the question, by giving a speed, he is behaving as if the presupposition is correct
When did you stop beating your wife? Presupposition: The target of the question is married to someone he has beaten at some point in the past Find the presupposition for the following statements: 1. John knows that Mary passed the exam. 2. Mary has stopped revising. 3. John didn't manage to pass the exam. 4. Mary is better at revising than John
1. John knows that Mary passed the exam. Mary passed 2. Mary has stopped revising. Mary has revised previously. 3. John didn't manage to pass the exam. John tried to pass. 4. Mary is better at revising than John. Both Mary and John revised.
Constant under negation One of the tests used to check for the presuppositions underlying sentences involves negating a sentence with a particular presupposition and considering whether the presupposition remains true. e.g. My car is a wreck. Take the negative version of this sentence: My car is not a wreck. Notice that, although these two sentences have opposite meanings, the underlying presupposition, I have a car, remains true in both. This is called the constancy under negation test for presupposition.
Constant under negation I used to regret marrying him, but I don't regret marrying him now The presupposition I married him remains constant even though the verb "regret" changes from being affirmative to being negative. John realized/didn't realize that he was in debt Presupposition: John was in debt My cat loves sardines / My cat hates sardines Presupposition: I have a cat
Presuppositions Presuppositional information adds facts/beliefs to what is explicitly said Presuppositional information is that which is taken for granted My wife will go to London tomorrow (the speaker has a wife) My number is 212-555-1212 (the speaker has a telephone account) I'm upset about being charged for a call to Ethiopia (the speaker was charged for a call to Ethiopia) I'm a bachelor (the speaker is an unmarried male person) Test: the negation and question presuppose the same thing Diane's children are nice. Diane's children aren't nice. Diane has got some children Are Diane's children nice?
Characteristics of presupposition The presupposition of an utterance remains the same under its NEGATION: (1)a. John stopped smoking. (1)b. John didn't stop smoking. (1)a-b both presuppose that John once smoked cigarettes. (2)a. The dog's tail was cut. (2)b. The dog's tail wasn't cut. (2)a-b both presuppose that the dog had a tail. (3)a. I like his car. (3)b. I don't like his car. (3)a-b both presuppose that he owns a car.
Characteristics of presupposition The presupposition of an utterance remains the same under its INTERROGATION: (4)a. John stopped smoking. (4)b. Did John stop smoking? (4)c. Why did John stop smoking? (4)a-c all presuppose that John once smoked cigarettes.
Practice What are the presuppositions for the following utterances? 1.I lost my watch yesterday at Ipoh market. 2.Emily was very sad when her turtle went missing. 3.This is my youngest sister. 4.The king of Sweden has just left for France. 5.I wasn't aware that she was married. 6.I dreamed that I was rich. 7.You're late again. 8.I 'm going to change job. 9.Who is going to give me a lift to the airport? 10.You shouldn't have seen such a horror film.'

24 thoughts on "Current Anthology Calls for Submissions"
I was wondering if you have any more information about the Viking anthology. I'd like to start writing. Will you be looking for historical Viking stories, Viking stories with a mostly-historical fantasy element, or completely fantastic Vikings detached from our own history?
Do you have any current open submissions? Maybe an anthology about 'first timers' in erotica. I've written a 10,000 word erotica about a couple exploring erotica and group play for the first time. I'm currently working on one revolving around a classical pianist (27) who is naive to love, who is a virgin, and an older composer (40), once reclusive, who may have found inspiration again. Thank you!
None of the calls for submission specify a particular sexual orientation. Can the characters be m/m or f/f couples or more?
do you accept stories in poem form?
I've a finished submission for the "Like a Spell" anthology, but the total word count is 7716. I did see that you may consider under 8000, and there is detailed description of sexual interaction, as well as important story line to make the characters well rounded and believable. If I must cut those 700 words to be considered, is it better to cut hot sex action or character development? Thanks!
I suppose I confused myself by seeing the "Like A Spell" Anthology call, noting the story length guild-lines; then looking at the general submission guidelines right after that. For some reason, I got a limit of 10,000 words stuck in my brain. If it's not too foolish a question, as long as my finished product falls below the 10,000 word mark, is it still acceptable to submit it? Thanks!
How about an anthology on erotic detective novels? Too much? I've written a novella, comedy, based upon a detective who has quite a sexual fixation, and a quirky sense of humor. Action, comedy, sex… what more could you ask for!
Hi Cecilia,
Any new anthologies coming? Wish I would have seen the call for the Wizards anthology. I have a good one along that story path.
Hope all is well.
Donna Munro
(Duana Monroe for the MILF anthology, so long ago :)
I submitted a short for the "Journey to the center of desire" anthology (deadline; July 31, 2015). I got an email from the editor that it had been received and that I would hear from her by the end of August (2015), and when I didn't hear from her, I sent another email in mid-September, inquiring as to the status of my submission, to which I never got a reply.
The call for submissions for said anthology is still on your Call-for-submission page, despite its outdated status.
Yes, ctan, it would be great if you could provide some elucidation.
Thanks, Michael Ampersant
Similar to previous comments, very interested in submitting, but would love to know if there are going to be current openings for submissions to an anthology and the themes, as I see now the ones currently posted are from last year.
I like this anthology idea and will work on a piece. Can the "beast" character be in anthropomorphic form when engaged in the erotic scenes? I want to confirm that this doesn't get confused with the bestiality subject that is not permitted. Thank you.
I am currently ghost writing for a 50000 word book based on a uk dominatrix who has been a working and lifestyle mistress for 23 years. approx. It will include how she became a dominatrix and an insight to many scenarios from both hers and the subs experiences. Is this something you would consider as a submission to publish if the quality is there?

Mounds Bars and Almond Joy Bars
Kathleen Riemer
- 5 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 14 oz package premium shredded flaked coconut
- 24 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips.
In a double boiler over hot water (not boiling), melt the chocolate, stirring often. (You may also use a microwave oven: place the chips in a bowl and heat for one minute on high, stir, then heat for 1 more minute).
Remove the coconut mixture from the refrigerator and cut into 1x2 inch bars. Set each coconut bar onto a fork and dip into the chocolate. Tap fork against the side of the pan or bowl to remove excess chocolate. Air dry at room temperature on waxed paper. This could take several hours, but chocolate sets best at cool room temperature (below 70°). You may speed up the process by placing the bars in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Add 1 cup dry roasted almonds to the list of ingredients. Substitute milk chocolate chips for semi-sweet chocolate. Place two almonds atop each bar before dipping in chocolate. Makes about 3 dozen bars.
