Prepare the vegetables and set the table; sit down and put your feet up while the lemon chicken is baking.
The refreshing blend of lemon and seasoning gives this baked chicken dinner recipe amazing flavors.
I prefer chicken breast for this poultry recipe because that is what my family like, but it will turn out great using the other parts of the chicken as well.RecipeServes 4
Preparation:Flour and season chicken pieces lightlyPour oil into a shallow oven to table pan, heat and saute chicken on both sides until golden Beat eggs and add lemon juice. And lemon zestAdd chicken broth gradually while whisking.Pour mixture over chicken and sprinkle with parsley.
An easy way to dust chicken with flour is to first mix the flour, salt and pepper together into a little bowl and pour it into a tea strainer
After washing the chicken well in cold water, drain and dry with paper towels. Place the pieces on a large plate.
Sift flour and seasoning from the tea strainer over chicken on one side and turn chicken over and repeat. Grind extra pepper over the chicken to taste.Bake at 350° for 40 minutes. Custard is best if not over baked.

Sony had a shy presence on the tablet segment with its Xperia Tablet S, but the Japan-based company wants to try its luck once more with Sony Tablet Z, officially introduced at MWC 2013, just a couple of weeks after it was exclusively launched on the Japanese market.
In order to have the spotlight on an already-crowded 10-inch tablet market, Sony is betting on a case that it's only 6.9 mm thin, making Xperia Tablet Z in the thinnest tablet in the world. Sony Xperia Tablet Z is also light, weighing only 495 grams, while being dust proof and capable of resisting in 1 meter-deep waters for up to 30 minutes.
The rumors that surfaced in January were confirmed and Sony Xperia Tablet Z is equipped with a 10.1-inch display with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200, packed with Sony's proprietary Mobile Bravia Engine 2 technology, while the hardware platform is based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset, the same unit that underpins the Xperia Z smartphone launched at CES 2013.
The Snapdragon S4 Pro SoC, comes with quad-core Krait CPU clocked at 1.5 GHz, Adreno 320 GPU, 2 GB of RAM, and 16 or 32 GB of internal storage, expandable courtesy of the microSD card support.
Surprisingly enough for a tablet, Sony Xperia Tablet Z has a primary camera with an 8 megapixel Exmor R sensor and full HD video recording capabilities, while the front-facing 2 megapixel camera has HD video recording support, ideal for video calls.
In terms of connectivity, Sony Xperia Tablet Z comes with WiFi and NFC, but Sony's press release is not mentioning anything about 3G or 4G connections, which is a sign that the international model will be WiFi-only, even though the Japanese variant has LTE support.
The new tablet also comes with an infrared port and with the help of the TV SideView app the Xperia Tablet Z can be used as a remote control, but I don't know how many of the customers will be attracted by this features, especially because the "remote control" will be a bit too big.
Sony Xperia Tablet Z runs Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean out of the box, but the Japan-based tablet maker claims that an update to Android 4.2 Jelly Bean will be available soon after the tablet hits the market this spring.
Promoted as a premium tablet, Sony Xperia Tablet Z will have a price tag matching Apple's iPad 4: $499 for the 16 GB model, and $599 for the 32 GB variant. With prices so high, will the Xperia Tablet Z be able to bite a big chunk of Apple's tablet market share?

Day After Irene Several Days After Earthquake
Wonderful weather, folks having fun, no sign of rock movement from earthquake, four blowdowns from hurricane Irene, some good interpretation done, two pieces of cut lumber moved to Byrds Nest, Sparkles my raccoon friend tried to sneak up behind me while I was pre-occupied shooting sunset pictures, a bat either counting coop or trying to dance with me near the Tree-With-Three-Trunks and the Twelve-Foot-Stump (Actually flew up and almost touched my face before making pass two where it lightly brushed my chin before flying away. I wonder if the music on my Beats headphones worn around my neck had anything to do with it, (Not on my ears so I can still hear voices and nature's sounds.), super wonderful solitary evening on the Ridge Trail/rock scrambles.
These delicate Spicebush Swallowtails made it through Irene.
How do they do that and how many did not make it?
The more I experience nature the more I wonder with awe.
ADDENDUM Wednesday September 21. 2011
If you check the comments section for this post you will find that a naturalist that lives near Old Rag (David C.) has corrected my identification of these butterflies. They are not Spicebush Swallowtails but rather Red-Spotted Purples one of several species that mimic Spicebush Swallowtails because Spicebush Swallowtails are toxic/distasteful to butterfly predators. It is awesome all the great stuff I keep learning about Old Rag and its denizens.
The following are some great links for learning more about Spicebush Swallowtails and species who mimic them.
about Spicebush Swallowtail:
about Pipevine Swallowtail and both Batesian and Mullerian mimicry:
about Red-Spotted Purples:
Sunset video not chronologically in order.
First two pieces of cut lumber muled from Old Rag Shelter to Byrds Nest Shelter. The biggest projects can start with the smallest steps.
Sparkles my raccoon friend visited on the summit but was disappointed that I never left my pack unguarded.
For me it was a wonderful solitary trip down the Ridge Trail and rock scramble under headlamp. There is something intoxicating about knowing you can comfortably and competently range deep in the back country, in all kinds of conditions, completely by yourself. For those who were not aware the NPS actually considers solitude a resource that needs to be protected for current and future generatiosns.
I just recently read a great article about how the cell phone and connectiveness is destroying many young adults opportunities to grow through solitude. The following is a link:
Even though the drive on a busy highway is far more dangerous for me than being alone in the backcountry... it is not as safe as having a friend who can help in the event of some random unlucky bad event. Mowing your lawn, reading a novel, first responding, swimming, driving your car, rock climbing they all have risk reward equations.
The air was warm and balmy low 70's. Breezes were blowing. The frogs and other night life were singing. The city and country lights in the valley looking towards Culpepper were twinkling wonderfully. Music that gives flight to the soul. Life is blessed.
The next picture was taken from the first false summit just before R22.
All the tenuously perched rocks I examined (around 10) did not seem to have moved one iota. I even looked for small rock crumbles/rock dust around edges of large many multiple ton rocks that rest on small steeply sloped granite-to-granite contact zones. I did not see any new cracks or fissures and the old cracks and fissures all seemed to be of the same width.

Blowdown one just 100 yards down from PO junction completely across Weakley Hollow fire road.

Barrette, Large w/Dingles Black & White MBar19-3897
Here are the approximate sizes of the barrettes-
Small, close to 2 ½ inches
Medium, close to 3 ¼ inches
Large, about 4 inches
Plain Beaded
Beaded with "Dingles" (double strand of fringe on either end)
Beaded with Drape (single strand of fringe on either end w/drape in between)
All sizes are genuine French barrettes, made in France (not the cheaper Chinese knock-off). They all hold a substantial amount of hair securely. Most barrettes are macramé, using assorted glass beads...primarily Czech & Japanese glass. While I will eventually offer them with my own lampwork, for now I'm concentrating on other jewelry featuring that. Once the macramé is complete, I cut deerskin backing and glue that to the barrette, then glue and tie the macramé to the deerskin and the barrette. This ensures long dependable wear, and IF for some reason something comes loose, you don't lose it. So far, in the 20+ odd years I've made these, I've never had one returned because it came apart. Feel free to custom order any size in any style & color, except small which I only make as Plain Beaded. They're just too small for Drape or Dingles.

- Start dozens of alpine strawberry plants from seed. Impossible to find in the nurseries near me already started as plants. Yet for a perennial, incredibly easy to get going in a basement. Super-useful. Will grow neatly in sun or semi-shade. Yields perfumy little berries all summer. I want these cushiony plants everywhere in empty spaces at the edge of various vegetable gardens. And you do need them everywhere to be able to pick any amount of tiny strawberries worth having.
- Fearlessly make sauerkraut in August. I grow cabbage for sauerkraut, but don't always time it perfectly. I tend to leave beautiful big heads of cabbage standing in the garden too long in high summer, on the theory that the basement is just too warm for good sauerkraut. The cabbages then rot. A friend who has made sauerkraut for years assures me it all works just fine, even in the steamy days of August, when fermentation is fast.
- Throw principles out of window and add aluminum sulphate to the soil around my blueberries. I never add anything to my soil any more, even organic fertilizers. I use a pine needle mulch around my blueberries to acidify the soil around them, and, admittedly, I have never really succeeded with blueberries. But I have just been enjoying a new book Decoding Gardening Advice by Friend of Rant Jeff Gillman and Meleah Maynard. And they assure me that I will never make my soil properly acidic with pine needles. Time to grow up, possibly, and use what works.
- Plant fruit at the elementary school garden I do. When you've got 25 kids so interested in gardening and cooking that they are excited about making chard pie…well, I think they deserve some strawberries and raspberries, too.
- Investigate grants for a lab kitchen at the school.
- Be alert for cutworm. I lost almost all of my beautiful onion, shallot, and leek seedlings last year. This year, I'll put out a few test seedlings to see if I need to plant every one within a paper towel roll barrier. But I have faith that I'll have less of a problem this spring. A piece from the late, great Kitchen Gardener magazine explains that the cutworm moths like to lay their eggs in grass. And since I made my garden simply by piling compost onto grass, their destructive larvae didn't have to travel far last year to find some tasty seedlings. To foil cutworms, the piece suggests a heavy mulch, so the moths can't find a nice place to lay their eggs. Done.
- Get out a drill and figure out a system of wires that will actually keep my grapes, roses, and honeysuckle attached to my carriage house. Instead, of course, of drooping on all passersby.
- Stake my leaning peach trees.
- Get out a post-hole digger and set up some system of support for the blackberries I planted in the alley between my house and the neighbor's. It's only polite.
- Paint my porch rockers blue. Right now, they are that disgusting black color that unpainted oak develops. I've been meaning to paint them for years. Alas, I don't enjoy painting as much as gardening, and it always seems to be deferred.
- Stop deferring.
Maybe I need to rethink my own new year's resolutions.
blue is the colour for garden seats I think. They set off nicely the surrounding plants. Good luck with all your resolutions ! I tend to never take any, no disappointment at the end of the year, only happy surprises about everything that has been achieved without plannng it !
I grew alpine strawberries ("Ruegen" variety) last year from seeds. After all the hassle I found the flavor… unimpressive. The wild strawberries growing in Adirondacks are much more flavorful.
You can have my 20+ plants if you wish (I live in Albany NY).
Boy, I should write "stop deferring" on my bathroom mirror in 2012!
Ten years ago I tucked alpine strawberries that I grew from seed in among my perennials — weeding was much more pleasant as they ripened. Also, for the most interesting school garden I have seen, take a look at Phyllis Odessey's blog and her post on a rice paddy garden in New York http://blog.phyllisodessey.com/2011/12/give-us-this-day-our-daily-rice.html). Happy new year!
These are resolutions? Looks more like a mundane and typical list of chores to me.
If you were really resolute you would not have used such a namby pamby word like deferring and said flat out, I will stop procrastinating and get all my chores done.
I have not tried to make sauerkraut or plant the seeds of alpine strawberries. Perhaps that will be the goal of 2012.
Maybe add sun dry my own tomatoes for winter consumption
Over my husband's objections I will continue to trim the 150′ long privit hedge between us and the neighbor's which by rights is theirs but they never trimmed and it got totally out of control and really butt-uglier than even a maintained privat hedge because their house is for sale and I want the new neighbors to think it is mine so they won't try to take it out. Whew. Now if the new neighbors want to replace it with something that works as a screen all year or a fence, I am all for it. I guess this is another chore resolution.
I also make my garden beds and compost on top of the soil. However, I first put down a heavy layer of cardboard, or newspaper or brown paper bags (I hoard all of the above to use to keep weeds down!) So far, no cutworms!
Lucy, I didn't find the alpine strawberries I've already planted so great last year…but I have had them when they are great. Too rainy possibly?
Also, I recently found this link, which offers numerous different varieties and offers opinions on their relative flavor: https://www.thestrawberrystore.com/.
My new years resolution is to become more active with other landscape bloggers. I need to hear what landscapers are doing with their properties and this blog is a nice beginning.
In the SF Bay area, I can use Alpine strawberries for underplanting around anything tall. It's a mulch AND a dessert topping!
You do have to plant quite a lot to get enough at one time, it's true, but they are such easy plants, at least in my area, to care for. Looking around today for places for spring bulbs, I noticed a good many of them may not have had enough water, and may need replacing.
I think I visited the Stawberry Store earlier this year. I will see what I can afford in March…
So far, my only garden resolution is to replace my current gardener.

Rowling, J(oanne) K(athleen)
(Joanne Kathleen Rowling)(rōl'ibreve;ing), 1965–, English author known for her popular children's books, b. Chipping Sodbury, grad. Exeter Univ. (1986). While unemployed she completed Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (1996), the first in a series of vivid tales chronicling the coming-of-age adventures and perils of a young wizard and his friends at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Published in the United States as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (1998, film 2001), it attracted a huge international readership. The rest of the series (and films based on them) soon followed—Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (1998, film 2002), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (1999, film 2004), Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2000, film 2005), Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2003, film 2007), Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2005, film 2009), and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2007, filmed in two parts 2010 and 2011)—making Rowling one of the world's most successful and wealthiest authors. Her books, which appeal to both young and adult audiences, have been widely credited with reviving the practice of reading in many children. She also wrote the screenplay for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016), a movie set at an earlier time in the same world of magic. In 2012 Rowling published her first novel for an adult audience, The Casual Vacancy, a black comedy that reveals the conflicts beneath the surface of life in a contemporary English village. It was followed by three mysteries, The Cuckoo's Calling (2013), The Silkworm (2014), and Career of Evil (2015) each featuring the detective Cormoran Strike and his sidekick Robin Ellacott and published under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.

Being a working girl living in the city, one of the challenges is finding healthy food to eat everyday. I work on night shifts, so I practically sleep all day and by the time I wake up, I've got just enough time to prepare myself for the workday ahead. Most of the time, before going home or before sleeping, I either have something delivered or buy something on the way home. It's always a dilemma finding a healthier food option everyday.
I was able to visit a Quiznos branch about a month ago when I was looking for a healthy option while in Shangri La mall. Been seeing tarps of Quiznos around Makati so it got me a bit curious.
The place is located at the basement, it's straightforward, nothing fancy. Walls painted in bright colors, there's also high chairs if you prefer them. I got there around 11 AM just in time as the mall opened so the place was almost empty when I placed my order.
Since I am not familiar with their offerings, I asked what the staff would recommend. She gave me quite a few options (Classics and Signatures) and also informed me about the sizes. Apparently, there's 5", 8" and 11". That's small, regular and large, respectively. She even brought out a green cutting board of sorts with grooves that indicated the length of the above mentioned sizes.
I settled for an 8" Classic Itallian (yes, it's spelled that way) which includes Capicola, Salami, Ham, Pepperoni, Mozzarella, Lettuce, Black Olives, Tomatoes, Red Onion and Red Wine Vinaigrette. You will also be asked what type of bread you'd like. The choices are Artisan Wheat, Italian White or Rosemary Parmesan. I chose Italian White.
It really tasted good! The ingredients used were fresh and tasty, I really enjoyed it. The bread's slightly burnt edges were just the perfect crunch but the middle was chewy and delicious. I admit, it was indeed a mouthful (haha), a bit hard to bite at first for a lady like me (lol) but it was worth it because it was delicious and compared to others, it was healthier.
Quiznos can be found in Bonifacio High Street, Taguig City; Eastwood, Quezon City; Greenbelt 3, Makati; Alabang Town Center, Muntinlupa; Regis Center, Katipunan Avenue; Shangri La Plaza, Mandaluyong; Robinsons Magnolia, Aurora Boulevard and Venice Piazza McKinley.

Update: ConEdison Development (CED) has been confirmed as the project buyer. This is CED's first foray into the Western U.S. PV market; the company currently maintains long-term ownership of eleven renewable energy facilities in the Northeast, including a 20 MW solar joint venture with Panda Energy in Pilesgrove Township, New Jersey.
GCL Solar Energy, the industry-leading polysilicon manufacturer's project development subsidiary, has sold 92 megawatts (DC) of its U.S. project pipeline to ConEdison Development for $266 million, approximately $2.89 per watt.
The two projects, the 26-megawatt Alpaugh North PV farm and the 66-megawatt Alpaugh 50 PV farm, are currently under development in Tulare County, California. Upon completion later this year, the energy generated will be sold to Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Quanta Power Generation is constructing the single-axis tracking facilities; Emerson Electric is supplying the inverters.
This is not the first time these projects have changed hands; the two farms were originally being developed by Solar Power Solutions (SPS), a special purpose entity of Samsung and ENCO. According to a March 2012 California Public Utilities Commission filing on PG&E's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) progress, GCL took over two additional SPS projects -- the Corcoran and White River installations, both approximately 23 megawatts and expected on-line in 2013.
There has been a marked trend toward downstream forays by PV manufacturers as suppliers struggle to compete amidst persistent oversupply. Earlier this year, GCL reported more than 200 megawatts ready for construction in 2012 and 300 megawatts more planned for the United States and Puerto Rico. Additionally, the company claims to be exploring development activities in Europe, South Africa, and Asia.

Down the Line...
I, like many Guardian Readers, choked on my late night coffee this Thursday whilst listening to another dreadful edition of the "Live Phone In" entitled Down the Line. This weeks edition was uncomfortably unsettling in that it dealt with religion and, although now revealed to be a spoof, one didn't realise so at the time. Therefore I sat agog as people came on and ... well ... I suggest you listen yourself . Having listened I am sure you will recognise views within that. My personal favourite was the "old lady" who phoned in talking about how to attract people to church and declared that they had put on tea, coffee and now did squash and even Lemon squash! It was classic but true. Really , the way she said it made you think her skin was crawling at the thought yet they would do it anyway. It reminded me of an incident at church a few weeks ago when the local Quakers did the tea/coffee etc after the service. In true Quaker style they included some fancy herbal teas as the options , alongside the teabag stuff and it was really only the white middle class folk who were taking teh herbal and almsot everyone else was going for plain ol tea and the same was true in terms of which home made snaks were taken... all most amusing but amazing at how trenchant we can become in our ways. But we are all guilt of that anyway - heck I sit at a particular pew to ensure I don't have to neal at the communion rail that Maggie Thatcher donated. But suppose you need to hear absurdities like that to reawaken you and cast a quick reconsideration upon the views you may espose to otehrs and wether they are really helpful or just prejudicial. This brings me very swiftly onto todays "Today" programme which had some very intersting interviews about the Assisted Dying For The Terminaly Ill Bill which is in its second reading in the House of Lords*. Parliamentry convention is that things are usualy passed in the second reading easily in the HofL but this time it is different. This is because the religious groupings within the Lords are revolting and they are rebelling to put forward a view that it shouldn't be passed. The nature of the debate can be rather well summed up by the aforementioned interviews from the Today programme. It started with a very moving interview with Sally Mackintosh, who is a beliver in God who is in the middle of dying from cancer and belives that the free will God gave her means she can take her life when she feels fit to make that decision because her quality of life was at such a level she wanted to prolong the suffering no further. A very precise case which she phrased very well. This was then "countered" by the Archbishops' Williams and Cormack O Conner who were presenting a more abstract argument around the idea of the common good. I must admit that I really struggled to "get" the point they were trying to make. That said, they did make one very good and pertanent point that some people might take their life "if they felt they were a burden on others" . This is a good point and one that often isn't taken into account. That said I think the first interview swayed me. Ultimatly it is the individuals right to choose when to go. With the way us humans have developed technology etc then we can indeed do so safely and humanely. That said I suspect this will be an argument that shall run and run and one I am more that willing to engage in. Take Care Y'All John
Methodist Council EMERGENCY MEETING
Well folks, Hope you are all doing well. The secrecy deadline has been and gone so I can spill the beans on the latest Methodist Council meeting. As some of you may know the Methodist Church is in the middle of restructuring the programme for Pre-Ordination training to fully reflecdt modern training needs, as they percieve it. This was illustrated by the paper presented at the Feb and then the April meetings about the new style of training on offer. Seperate to that was a look at the training institutions that shall be used for residential training. This very seperation seems a most random one and, to me, sums up one of the major weaknesses of alot of the revisioning work that is going on. We are seeing the results of bits 'n bobs which are half connected but are being done by seperate people therefore they never fully reflect one and another. This was illustrated by the last two councils and everyone being rather bemused as how one impacts 'tother etc... Anywho, back to this particular incident. The emergancy meeting was called because the Council rejected the suggestions for the two venues where the training should be offered in a residential format. This is a very big decision to be made as it does show where the Connexion wants to send its people to train and thus a big showing on the state of the mind of the world. So, to cut to the chase, where were the two places that were decided upon at this emergancy meeting..... ...... Nearly there ..... "06.3.11 The Council therefore agreed that the combined 'package' of Queen's College, Birmingham, and Wesley House, Cambridge, provided the advantages of two contrasting institutions, giving a wide range of ministerial training and learning opportunities within Methodism. Queen's College was seen to offer valuable formational experience and multi-cultural and cosmopolitan opportunities, plus strong ecumenical and world church links. Wesley House, Cambridge, offered a contrasting experience with an emphasis upon teaching, learning and research." So cambridge and Birmingham. A fascinating duo and not the two I prefered anyway! I was thinking that Birmingham and Durham would have made a nicer pair and would have taken it out from a more central / southern english outlook for a church that is meant to serve all of the uk. That said we shall see, maybe this is just some of my personal bias which doesn't always look on Cambridge that favourably. But the room was full of ex cambridge bods so when the voting took place it didn't surprise that they chose that place. So the Methodist Ministers of the future, who decide to go residential to train, will indeed go to Birmingham or Cambridge..... what japes! Take Care Y'All john

text: Arteriovenous malformations or AVMs of the brain are abnormal tangles of arteries and veins which usually date back to birth but can also result from head injury. Normally, blood from the heart moves from arteries to veins through a fine network of small blood vessels called a capillary bed. Here the nutrients from the blood are released into the brain tissue and the pressure of the blood flow reduces before it enters the veins on its journey back to the heart, In an AVM the arteries and veins are connected directly without a capillary bed, exposing the thin walled veins to high pressures which puts them at risk for rupturing and bleeding into the brain.

What's Mom Worth? Between $62,985 and $118,905
By Carole Fleck , May 08, 2014 08:35 AM
It's difficult to put a price tag on moms (or so we'd like to think). Nevertheless, as Mother's Day approaches this Sunday, two websites calculated a mom's worth based on her various jobs around the house. Think top chef, chief accountant, chauffeur and teacher.
Using Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data that correlates with those jobs outside the home, Insure.com said moms are worth $62,985 in 2014. That's higher than their value last year, which was $59,862.
>> Sign up for the AARP Money newsletter.
"Wages for typical mom tasks, like cleaning, cooking and keeping kids healthy and entertained, took a big hit during the recession," says Penny Gusner, a consumer analyst for Insure.com. "This year nearly all of them increased."
She says that men in those jobs outside the home (taxi driver, cook, accountant and teacher) still make more than women in the same positions. For example, male cooks earn a median $411 a week compared with $382 for women. Male teachers and other instructors earn a median $1,055 a week; for women, it's $729. So much for equality in 2014.
The folks at Salary.com also calculated the value of moms - both the stay-at-home and working varieties. Clearly, we're not slackers. Stay-at-home moms worked a tireless 96.5 hours a week, on average. If they were paid for all they did, they'd earn $118,905 a year. Their weekly tasks were calculated this way: Psychologist for 8.3 hours at $38.94 an hour; computer operator for 8.6 hours at $16.44 an hour; housekeeper for 14.6 hours at $10.19 an hour; van driver for 7.8 hours at $13.65 an hour; laundry operator for 6.5 hours at $10.10 an hour; and so on.
Working moms juggle their paid and unpaid positions yet manage to put in 59.4 hours at home each week, on average, worth $70,107. They had the same tasks as stay-at-home moms but spent fewer hours on them.

For all that Mom does, you may be wondering how you can show your appreciation on her special day. (Hint: Don't buy her a vacuum cleaner.)
Insure.com also asked 1,001 mothers with children living at home what their ideal gifts were. Among them:
- A day at the spa (38 percent)
- A family weekend getaway (32 percent)
- A gift card or dinner at a local best restaurant (25 percent each)

Cloud standards on the horizon: CDMI, PEAT, security best practices
Cloud standards, such as CDMI and PEAT, ensure protocols are in place for data transfer in the cloud. Concerns over best practices and security are a driving force for standards.
It's often said the cloud resembles the Wild West, with innovators and entrepreneurs operating at, or just beyond, the limit of familiar practice. For organizations anxious to leverage storage in the cloud, this has left a host of unknowns and a hunger for more law and order.
For instance, Tom Gelson, business development director at Imation, said the need for data security will drive the development of standards for cloud-based data storage. "Standards must be established to ensure secure protocols are in place for data transfer to the cloud. Data should be encrypted prior to leaving a corporate environment, 'in-flight' and 'at-rest' in the cloud," he said. Standards should also outline security best practices related to interfaces and APIs, and identify management, data management and data separation, he added.
Other people see implementing cloud standards as just muddying the waters. "It's too early in the game for cloud storage standards to be useful," said John Bates, chief technology officer (CTO) and co-founder of TwinStrata Inc., a provider of cloud-based data storage solutions. "We're just seeing the beginnings of the broader adoption of cloud storage into the general business audience, and there's a lot of innovation still available in the data center software stack. Pushing standards out now constrains those possibilities."

Overcoming the absence of cloud storage standards in the data center
Cloud standard dilemma taken on by Distributed Management Task Force
Where cloud computing standards lack, SaaS steps in
Regardless, it seems like the sheriff is coming to town, and cloud standards are coming along sooner rather than later. From different perspectives, with various end goals, groups and organizations are coalescing to make cloud storage easier, safer, more reliable and, in short order, more acceptable.
A case in point is the Cloud Data Management Interface (CDMI). According to Mark Carlson, co-chair of the Storage Network Industry Association (SNIA), the organization's Cloud Storage Technical Work Group has been helping with the development of CDMI, which is designed to let users tag their data with special data system metadata that tells the cloud provider what specific data services to provide for that data. These data services could include backup, archive and encryption, for example. By implementing a standard interface, users are better able to move data between cloud vendors cloud vendors without having to recode to match different interfaces, he explained.
"We had our first commercial implementation announced back in April 2011 by Mezeo Software and since then we've had a number of plugfests, where people are coming together to test implementation before they release products to the world," he explained. Indeed, another plugfest was recently conducted in Dusseldorf, Germany, and attracted dozens of on-site and remote participants. "We have quite a bit of traction with CDMI in Europe, especially with the academic and scientific community," he noted.
Carlson said CDMI is aimed at dealing with several issues at once. For one thing, it's a "data path to the cloud," and an object storage interface that uses RESTful principles. Thus, instead of using just HTTP and your browser on the web, using CDMI allows a customer to store and retrieve data objects in the cloud, Carlson explained. You can further organize the objects into a 'container,' which Amazon refers to as a 'bucket,'" he said. Finally, CDMI is a control and management path for managing that data and ordering data services for data once it's in the cloud.
"Amazon just announced they have an object expiration service that will delete data after a certain period; CDMI has had that since 2010, so, Amazon is validating those features," Carlson explained.
To implement this system, a customer tags their container or objects with specific kinds of metadata that tells the cloud what data services to apply to that data.
Carlson said it's the customers rather than the vendors that are demanding this feature and putting it in their request for proposals (RFPs). "What has happened to date is all the vendors have developed their own RESTful approaches. That's fine if you only want to work with that vendor. But if you want to change to a different vendor, it's hard," he said. Crucially, CDMI also standardizes a portability format for moving data between clouds and all the metadata goes within that. When the metadata lands on a new cloud, all the same data services can get applied in the same ways so there isn't a lot of additional setup, he explained.
The next step, Carlson said, is a proposal SNIA has made to have CDMI made into an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard. "This is still in process. We expect it to complete sometime this summer," he said.
For PEAT's sake
Allyson Klein, director of leadership marketing at the Intel Data Center Group and marketing lead for the Open Data Center Alliance (ODCA), said the ODCA's focus is on its customers and working with a range of organizations to define cloud standards. One of ODCA's initiatives has been the development of standard RFP language destined to make the procurement of cloud storage simpler and less confusing. The Proposal Engine Assistant Tool (PEAT) is designed to help integrate the Alliance's Usage Models into the RFP process.
"This provides specific language to bake into cloud procurement that we think will start to affect how things are purchased over the next 12 to 24 months," Klein said.
Klein said the alliance plans to make a tool available on the web that will allow any company to input its storage requirements and quickly generate standard RFP language. "As part of the commitment to membership, participating companies have agreed to a usage model to guide planning and purchase decisions -- the tool is a next step," she said.
Leveraging best practices
A similar consortium, the TM Forum, is a non-profit industry association of some 850 companies focused on the needs of service providers. The TM Forum has identified a range of issues it sees as critical problems to address before cloud storage becomes fully viable. Aileen Smith, TM Forum's senior vice president of collaboration and research & development, said the organization has worked to produce a series of best practices and standards under the Frameworx rubric.
"We work with buyers, in this case, enterprise cloud buyers, to identify their critical requirements and where they see gaps from a standards point of view, so that everyone is taking the same approach to coming up with solutions," she said. In particular, she said, members have asked for leadership relating to standards for virtual private clouds, for storage and other purposes -- a need the forum is working to fulfill. The forum is also working on a number of security standards and threat models.
A focus on security
And it's security, similar to the concerns expressed by Imation's Gelson, that's on the mind of the folks at the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). Within the data storage area, there are issues around trust -- whether it's interactions between cloud-based services or between companies and divisions through the cloud. According to Said Tabet, who works with CSA and also leads the Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) Strategy within the Office of the CTO at EMC Corp., "we need to deliver the proper set of controls to mitigate known risks so we can achieve a trusted environment."
Specifically, Tabet said, CSA has a group focused on looking at data in the cloud "to define all the risks and concerns from the perspective of the user, the service provider, and overall governance and compliance."
Rather than reinventing the wheel, Tabet said CSA is looking to collaborate with other groups such as ISO and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). CSA is also looking at the role of service-level agreements (SLAs) as a key factor in making the cloud work. "When you look at service-level agreements, they're often ambiguous and hard to enforce. We want to provide examples and classifications of SLA, and perhaps even make the process of using and enforcing SLAs more automated," he said. "That will be a big step forward."

Composer John Adams to lecture on campus Oct 28-29
New Haven, Conn. — Master American composer John Adams will deliver the 2009 Tanner Lectures on Human Values on October 28 and 29 at the Whitney Humanities Center, 53 Wall Street. His first talk, "Doctor Faustus and His Composition: Reflections on Thomas Mann's Fictional Composer," will be held on October 28, and his second, "Doctor Atomic and His Gadget: Composing the American Mythology," on October 29. Both talks will take place at 4:30 pm.
Recognized worldwide for the expressive depth, technical range, and compelling themes of his work, Mr. Adams has broadened the aesthetics of contemporary American concert music, moving it away from academic modernism and toward a more expansive, profoundly humanist musical language. His groundbreaking compositions include the symphonies Harmonium, Grand Pianola Music, Harmonielehre, and El Dorado as well as the politically controversial operas Nixon in China, The Death of Klinghoffer, based on a 1985 terrorist hijacking and murder, and Doctor Atomic, about J. Robert Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project. His multilingual nativity oratorio, El Niño, was written to mark the millennium. On the Transmigration of Souls, a choral tribute to the victims of the World Trade Center attacks, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and won three Grammys, including Best Classical Contemporary Composition. Mr. Adams's recent memoir, Hallelujah Junction: Composing an American Life, has been lauded as an explication of the creative process and named a New York Times Notable Book. In his teaching, writing, and composition, Mr. Adams has been hailed as a "philosopher/craftsman, attempting to reflect and render the truth as he observes and feels it, in all its complexity and its simplicity."
The first Harvard undergraduate to have a musical composition accepted as a thesis project, Mr. Adams went on to teach at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and served for many years as composer-in-residence of the San Francisco Symphony, where he created the orchestra's "New and Unusual Music" series. Mr. Adams continues to compose and conduct extensively and has appeared with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the New York Philharmonic, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and the London Symphony Orchestra. He has received significant recognition for his work, including five Grammy Awards, a Royal Philharmonic Society Music Award, a Grawemeyer Award for Musical Composition, the Harvard Arts Medal, and the California Governor's Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Arts. He holds honorary degrees from Northwestern and Cambridge and is an honorary member of Phi Beta Kappa.
The Tanner Lectures on Human Values were established by the American scholar, industrialist, and philanthropist Obert Clark Tanner, who hoped that these lectures would contribute to the intellectual and moral life of humankind. Both lectures are free and open to the public. For more information contact Susan Stout at 203 432-6556 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Dallas Police Department has released a composite sketch of the individual that they believe is responsible for an incident that took place at a local bar on Sunday evening. The rumors floating around the area, contend that it may have been Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott.
Although no arrests have been made, the D.P.D. believes that this individual could be the guilty party that left a 30-year-old man with non-life-threatening injuries.
(Police rendering of suspect)
A spokesman from the department, told the Daly Dose that a local man was struck in the nose, and later taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. The incident is part of an ongoing investigation for aggravated assault.
Witnesses from the local establishment described the suspect to police as around six-feet tall, and over 200-hundred pounds. He was wearing a Dallas Cowboys midriff t-shirt, an Endor headband, and was reportedly pulling women's blouses off throughout most of the evening.
If you have any information regarding this case, please contact the Dallas Police Department immediately.

Just "WOW"!
Our little deli in beautiful mid-Wales has only gone and turned two! Yep, two blooming' years since we had a crazy, serendipitous moment and decided to plunge headlong into a foodie adventure. No retail background, no business plan, no sense of whether we were wanted or needed … hey, now you put it like that, Mr Deli, it was more than a little bit crazy!
And so, here we are … well, where are we?
We seem to have found our little niche.
We spent a few months not really knowing what we were up to. We both hung around the shop all day, most often outnumbering the customers … we sold large swathes of 'the wrong stuff' (I mean, what were we thinking with a rack of essentials – pasta, curry sauces, rice, all the things supermarkets do) … we got under one another's feet … we didn't cut much cheese (way too cowardly for that!) … initially, we created a whole new coffee culture – the lesser known flatteccino fused Flat White, Latte and Cappuccino … Mrs Deli baked long into the night because we'd been in the shop all day … what were we thinking!
And then, a 'road to Damascus' moment, quality time spent with the enthusiastic and sharing Leigh Sinclair at Ultracomida. Lids flew off olive tins, cheese tasters were generously handed over and a moment of realisation … when we grow up, WE need to be like that!
So, we matured, we handpicked our stock, we celebrated our producers, building our little business on their strengths. We talked to our customers like humans, interacted with people on social media (remembering at ALL times that it is not 'sales media') … we didn't take ourselves too seriously … we shared openly, generously … we agreed NEVER to spend money on marketing – our 'marketing budget' had to go into tasters … we brought people in on evenings for a glass of House wine and tasting platters … we kept finding new great tastes, taking things off the shelves as they reached the supermarkets … we were passionate about everything and made sure people left the shop feeling good about stuff … we have been relentlessly positive – to be honest, life's way too short to be downbeat … we drink great coffee – because life is way too short for bad coffee! …
People have been lovely … generous with their support and their spend … we have regulars … we get cards on birthdays … people miss us when we close … customers bring visitors in to show off 'their' deli … kids draw pictures of us … talented friends make films of us … we barter hampers for photographs … we've had visitors from the Lake District, Dorset, London, throughout Wales … California – like, actually from America and we were on the visit itinerary – that's a bit cute!
We visited trade shows … and stopped doing that. We headed to The Good Life Experience … and there will be a hell of a lot more of that! We have found kindred spirits … and we'll be seeking out more of them, for sure.
Mostly, we've celebrated GREAT tastes and the people who produce them! You can bet we'll be doing WAY more of that as we slip into Year 3.
Pop in sometime.
We reckon you might love our little place … we hope so! Cos we do!

As mentioned yesterday, things are going to be a bit different around here this week. To celebrate my one year blogaversary, instead of my usual one or two posts, there will be a 'week of international guest posts'. Not only does it give me a little break (yay!), but it also gives me a chance to showcase some of the kick-ass bloggers I've discovered over the past year. Kicking off the proceedings is the lovely Helene aka The Man-shopper. Originally from California, Helene ran away to the East Coast of the US for college, rashly bought a one-way ticket to England to be with a boy, and has been an expat ever since.
An American In Paris
Hello, Single Filez readers! Helene the Man-shopper here, reporting from Paris…
I've noticed that most non-parisian singletons (and non-singletons, for that matter), seem to have romanticized, idealistic and almost love-struck ideas about Paris as the most romantic city in the world.
Is this really true?
Yes and no.

The recent monsoon period of 2015 resulted in widespread inundations and enormous human and economic losses in wide areas of Tamil Nadu, South India, especially in the metropolis of Chennai. While previous floods had affected mostly those people living along river banks, this event became special, because of the ubiquitous nature of its impact.
Many lessons were learned from floods in India itself as well as in Germany and have triggered changes towards better disaster management, early warning systems and preventive measures such as river restorations.
A Public Panel Meeting with experts from Germany and key stakeholders from government, business, community and academia is planned towards identifying immediately implementable actions as well as strategies for future adjustments.

OK, I know this is going to sound weird. And, it may appear that I am crossing a line here.
I have been enjoying my profession for awhile now. And, in that time I have had many men come and go, (no pun intended here) for many reasons. = ))
You break up, you call me. You divorce, you call me. You find a girlfriend, you don't call – for awhile. I could paint and insert a plethora of scenarios, but I think you get the picture.
And, sadly sometimes my men die. I have found that out in odd ways, that's for sure.
I must say, and I know I've no rights here, but when I don't hear from some of you for long periods, it is not out of nosiness that I want to hear you. It is out of care, concern, and the sincere hope that you and your life are going well. And yes, while I do miss you in 'our' way, I always want to know that you are all right, in every way.
I always want you to experience the best, and have the best experiences.
I do understand that our 'real' lives take us on journeys that are very separate from the ones you and I take. And I have great respect for your real lives. I want you to be happy and find fulfillment personally and professionally.
So yes, I do worry about you. And yes, I do care about you.
Never, forget that.

Have a wonderful day.
And, may many scary creepy things come your way.
Filed under: Sex is a Conversation | Tags: apples, Eve, forbidden fruits
Eve. You silly girl. If only you . . .
The apple tree in my front yard has gone insane this year. Over the last two weeks, I have taken in about 60 apples a day. I have dried them, frozen them, baked them and jammed them. I have baked pies, german apple cakes and tarts. I have made applesauce and apple butter.
I have dominated that damn apple tree. = ) I say that with a happy, albeit tired, but very grateful heart. The apples are sweet, tart, crisp, greens and reds. Each apple is layered with a variety of flavors.
Oh Eve, why did you let that one apple frighten you? That damn serpent. You should have done something to each and every one of those apples.
If only you . . . had controlled the forbidden fruits, instead of the other way around.
What a different legacy you would have left for women.
These damn apples. = )
Filed under: Sex is a Conversation | Tags: anticipation, phone sex, sensuous, spanking, wet
A few questions and thoughts . . .
So, how does a good spanking make you feel? How does the sound of spanking make you feel? How does the sting make you feel? How does it make you feel if you are the one spanking? How does it feel to see the the bottom turn red; either your bottom or someone else? How does it make you feel if you are the one being spanked? Do you like to watch others being spanked? Does it make you excited to anticipate a spanking?
I'm just wondering about the varying feelings and desires for spankings. Or, did I just turn you off by the very thought of a good playful erotic spanking? = ) I find spanking very sensuous.
Spanking makes me wet.
Filed under: Sex is a Conversation | Tags: Timing
They say timing is everything.
Well, this has been an awful week of schedule changes, calls canceled, interruptions, etc.
I know that real life creeps in and can interrupt our kind of time, but this week has just been insane!
When I think I know my schedule, something comes along to humble me and my opinion of my own time.
Please know how sorry I am when it is on my end, that we cannot connect. I know that our timing is important on so many levels. I know that your window of alone time is sometimes very hard to come by, your mood, my mood, my alone time, different time zones, unexpected visitors, wow. It is a wonder we are ever able to get together. = ))
I can only hope that we use the frustrations of our kind of relationship for the positive. And, hopefully it will allow us to enjoy our connections even more, when we are able to be together.
I treasure our time together. Remember, I need it too.
Filed under: Sex is a Conversation | Tags: Happy August
I want to say Happy August, but I have to admit that I am a little concerned about how quickly my year is flying by.
I embrace and enjoy each season, and month, as they bring such different and wonderful moods from our earth.
I turn 50 this year. I find that I am embracing that too. While I have experienced many different kinds of moods from our earth, I welcome the ones that still await me.
I admit another fear. I fear I cannot accomplish all that I still feel is in me to do. I know I can't be alone in that feeling.
I just don't want to miss anything.
Happy August 2010.

To view the answers to the below questions: clicking on the "+" button to the left of the appropriate question will reveal the answer. Clicking the "Expand All" link will reveal all of the answers in that particular section. Clicking on the "Collapse All" button will hide all of the currently expanded answers from view.
In order to be licensed as a Civil engineer in the State of California, applicants must take and pass all of the following:
Exams do not have to be passed concurrently, they may be passed separately. Applicants licensed as a professional civil engineer in another State may apply for Comity, and typically are only required to take and pass the CA Special Civil Engineer exams (i.e., seismic principles and engineering surveying principles), and the Take Home exam.
Besides the SDR Workbook, it is recommended that participants also have access to ASCE 7-10: Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, and either the 2015 International Building Code (IBC) OR the 2016 California Building Code (CBC).
Yes, BUT you need to understand that actual questions on the Seismic Principles exam will refer to 2016 CBC sections, tables and figures. These are essentially identical to the very same sections, tables and figures found in the 2015 IBC, BUT they DO NOT share the same page numbers. The advantage to using the 2015 IBC is that it is simpler (i.e., one volume instead of two volumes) and it is less than half the cost of the 2016 CBC.
From the BPELSG Special Civil Engineering Examinations Reference List - "If you currently have the 2015 International Building Code (IBC), you may use that in lieu of purchasing the 2016 CBC because the two codes contain the same material and the same section numbers. Both the CBC and the IBC refer to the ASCE 7-10 for the effects of earthquake motion."
That is strongly recommended, not only because the seismic principles exam uses the 2016 CBC/2015 IBC and ASCE 7-10 as references, but also because the (new) SDR Workbook is based on those as well.
Seismic Design Review has been providing Live Seminars since 1990 — more than twenty seven years. The Live Webinar and On-Demand Webinar options were added prior to the April 2011 Civil P.E. examinations.
No, currently there are no CEU's or PDH's issued for attending or participating in the Live Seminars, Live Webinars, or On-Demand Webinars. These courses are not intended for continuing education or professional development, but rather are intended to prepare examinees for the California Civil P.E. Seismic Principles exam only. But a completion certificate may be requested, when the course is completed, which will note the dates of the course, the cost, and total hours which may be submitted and accepted by some states as satisfying CEU or PDH requirements.
All courses address the topics that fall under the six primary content areas of the Seismic Principles Test Plan:
Credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover Card) or PayPal are available for all on-line purchases. Mail-in course registrations and mail-in workbook orders may use personal checks, cashier/bank checks, or money orders only.
State or Federal Agencies may contact us directly for additional payment options that may be accepted.
Steven T. Hiner, MS, SE is the instructor for all Live Seminars.
The Live Seminars are offered twice a year each in Northern California and Southern California, in the Spring and Fall. The Live Seminars are currently offered in Irvine, CA (Session 1) and Pleasanton, CA (Session 2).
The Irvine course occurs over two weekends (two Saturday and two Sunday). The Pleasanton course occurs over four consecutive Sundays. Each of the seminars begin at 8:30 am and ends at 4:30 pm each day.
Since April 2004, the passing percentage of SDR Live Seminar attendees has been approximately twice the passing percentage of all other examinees as shown on the SDR Passing Stats page.
No. But we feel strongly that "IF" you attend all the lectures, complete all of the assignments, and closely follow the recommendations for preparing and taking the seismic principles exam, that your chances of passing the exam will be greatly increased (see SDR Passing Statistics).
No. Spaces are filled by either receiving registration from the Credit Card/Paypal option, or by receiving a mail-in enrollment form with payment (personal check, cashier/bank check, or money order). See the Live Seminar web page.
Yes, completion certificates are provided at the end of the last lecture for Live Seminar attendees. The completion certificates note the dates, total hours, and cost of the course.
A 100% refund will be provided with notification of a cancellation at least two weeks before the first lecture. An 80% refund will be provided with notification from two weeks to the day before the first lecture. No refunds will be given on or after the first lecture.
There are no discounts available for repeating the Live Seminars (or signing up for the Live Webinars or On-Demand Webinars). For this reason, we strongly encourage that you do not sign up for any seminar or webinar until you have been approved by BPELSG to take the seismic principles exam "AND" you are fully prepared to put in an adequate amount of time to study the material before the exam (typically estimated at a "minimum" of 50 hours in addition to the lecture time).
No, there are no group discounts available.
There is no workbook discount available for enrollment in the Live Seminars. BUT if you purchased the SDR Workbook using a Credit Card/PayPal, it can be returned within 60 days of the order date (as long as the book is still in new condition and free of any markings). A Credit Card/PayPal refund will be provided, less the cost of the original shipping charge.
Attendees that end up with multiple copies of the SDR Workbook (likely with different printing dates) should consider offering one of those copies for sale on any number of engineering exam forums. An asking price of $70 to $80 is fairly common for the resale of the SDR Workbook.
No, but Live Seminar attendees can purchase access to any of the On-Demand Webinars a la carte if they feel they feel that viewing the lecture again would be useful.
If you have a conflict with one of the Live Seminar dates, access to the same On-Demand Webinar lecture can be provided if we are notified in advance, or if due to an illness or emergency.
Besides the FREE SDR Workbook ($95.00 value) provided at the first lecture, attendees will also be provided handouts and other valuable test preparation/reference materials. The handouts will be provided as email attachments or downloadable files from webpage links provided through the duration of the course.
The Live Seminars require that the attendees travel to a particular location (i.e., Irvine, CA or Pleasanton, CA) to participate in all of the scheduled lectures. The Live Seminars cover all of the topics on the Special Civil Seismic Principles Test Plan, but they DO NOT cover this material in the same order as in the Test Plan. The Live Seminars cover the topics essentially in the order as it is presented in the SDR Workbook in what we feel is the easiest to understand and most logical order.
For the Live Webinars, it is not necessary for the attendee to travel since their participation will be via online access of a web seminar from their desktop/laptop computer (PC or Mac) or tablet device, but the attendee must be available for the date and time of the scheduled webinars. The On-Demand Webinars provide for the added convenience of 24/7 access to view the purchased content (i.e., no need to be available at a certain date and time as is the case for the Live Webinars).
Steven T. Hiner, MS, SE is the presenter for all Live and On-Demand Webinars.
No, it is not. Live and On-Demand participants may purchase the SDR Workbook separately from the SDR Workbook page.
Many online seminars (webinars) provide printable pdf's of their presentation slides, sometimes 2 slides per page, or up to 6 to 10 slides per page. SDR does not provide pdf's of the slides for several reasons. First, most webinars are 1 to 2 hours long with maybe one hundred slides, while the On-Demand ALL Lectures is closer to 30 hours long and several thousand slides. Second, most of the slides come directly out of the material in the lecture notes in the workbook and many of those that do not are animated in some fashion that a pdf hard-copy would be of little use to try and explain the material on that slide. Lastly, anyone expecting to refer to several thousands of slides during the civil seismic principles exam could easily be setting themselves up to fail as this exam is extremely fast paced where there is very little time to refer to notes or references, at least on most of the problems.
That being said, you can certainly take a screen capture of any slides you would like to have in hard-copy form (i.e., paste into a word document, etc.) and create your own binder of those slides. BUT again, you should be very selective as to what slides you do that with as you are not going to have much time in the exam to try and find them.
Yes, at the request of the Live Webinar or On-Demand Webinar attendee, completion certificates can be provided (via email attachment) in pdf format at the end of the course. The completion certificates note the total number of lectures, total hours, and cost of the course. For On-Demand Webinar participants, please provide your On-Demand account username and password, or a screenshot of your On-Demand account page, so that we can verify that you have used up most of your purchased content.
No, but Live Webinar participants can purchase access to any of the On-Demand Webinar lectures a la carte if they miss more than two of the Live Webinar sessions, or feel they need the extra time to review certain portions of a lecture.
Please let us know in advance. You may be provided access to the recorded webinar you miss, up to a maximum of two webinars missed of the total of ten webinars.
The Live and On-Demand Webinar options were first offered prior to the April 2011 examination. But it was not until approximately 2015 that SDR began to routinely survey the Live and On-Demand Webinar participants on their exam results. Since then, based on the responses received by those who participated in the exam surveys, the passing rate appears to be essentially the same between the Live Seminar attendees and the Live and On-Demand Webinar participants as shown in the passing statistics.
The current On-Demand Webinar content consists of the recorded Live Webinars offered just prior to the Spring 2018 exam cycle. The main advantage to the Live Webinars is that they allow attendees to interact live with the presenter and the class during the webinars. The main advantage to the On-Demand Webinars is that the participant can watch (stream) the content on their own schedule (24/7), at a location that is most convenient for them (i.e., home, work, etc.).
Each week of the Live Webinars consists of approximately 6 hours of lecture and Q&A time (i.e., two - 3 hour lectures held over two evenings per week). The On-Demand Webinars are recorded videos from the Live Webinars, edited and bundled into lectures that correspond to the very same material presented in the Live Seminar lectures (i.e., 4 lectures consisting of 8 videos per lecture).
Please refer to this GoToWebinar link for system requirements for Windows operating systems, Mac operating systems, iOS devices, and Android devices.
Participants wishing to connect to audio using VoIP will need a fast Internet connection and speakers (a USB headset is recommended). A microphone is not a necessity.
The On-Demand Webinar content is streamed using an HTML5 player or Flash player using a PC, Mac, or tablet device.
You will have 24/7 access to the number of hours of content that you have purchased, at least until the end of the seismic principles exam cycle (as long as you have time remaining in your account). Although the content is likely to remain available after the exam cycle, it is highly recommended that you consume all of your purchased content prior to your exam date.
When you purchased your webinar content you were asked to create a Username and Password, with those two items you can log in to access your purchased content by clicking on the button at the bottom of the Webinars page or by clicking here.
If you have forgotten your Username and/or Password you can request that they be e-mailed to you from the Returning Users page.
The limit on how many times a particular video (or portion of a video) may be viewed is entirely related to how many viewing hours are remaining in your account. For instance, if you purchase the ALL Lectures option, you will begin with 40 hours of video viewing time. As you watch each video, time will count down from your account accordingly. When you complete the viewing of all of the lecture videos, your account should have just over 9 hours viewing time remaining. This additional time will allow you to go back to view portions of specific videos a second time, but will not allow you to view any video an unlimited number of times.
If you have forgotten your Username and/or Password you can request that they be e-mailed to the e-mail address that you provided at the time of registration from the Returning Users page.
No, there are no discounts for multiple workbook orders other than a savings in the shipping charge. Please contact us to determine the applicable shipping charge for multiple workbook orders.
Yes, but please contact us to determine the applicable shipping charge prior to placing the workbook order.
If you purchased the SDR Workbook previously, please visit the SDR Workbook Errata web page for posted errata. Due to the extensive revisions required on the SDR Workbook - 2015 IBC version, there will be no more errata posted applicable to any previous versions (i.e., SDR Workbook - 2012 IBC version).

LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- 2006 Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko was cleared Tuesday to compete at this month's European figure skating championships.
The International Skating Union said it granted Russia's request for an exemption for Plushenko, who did not have the required qualifying score from an international event during the past two seasons. He returned to competition for the first time since the Vancouver Olympics at last month's Russian championships, which he won.
Plushenko, a six-time European champion, set what was then a world record in the short program the last time he competed at the Europeans. This year's European championships are Jan. 23-29 in Sheffield, Britain.
Plushenko is the greatest male skater of his generation, winning three world titles and silver medals at the 2010 and 2002 Olympics in addition to his gold at the Turin Games. The ISU stripped him of his eligibility in June 2010 as punishment for skating in exhibitions without permission from the Russian federation. He did not immediately appeal, leading many to believe he was retiring. Plushenko was almost 28 then and had a history of knee problems.
But Plushenko asked the ISU last April to restore his eligibility, saying he wanted to compete at the 2014 Sochi Olympics in his home country. The ISU agreed, restoring his eligibility in June 2011.
Though Plushenko will be 31 in 2014, his return is a boost for Russia as it tries to rebuild its storied skating program ahead of Sochi. Russian skaters failed to win a single gold medal in Vancouver, and Artur Gachinki's bronze at last year's world championships was the first medal by a Russian man since Plushenko won his third world title in 2004.
No Russian man made this year's Grand Prix final, with Gachinski finishing fifth at both the Cup of China and the Rostelecom Cup.

Hi folks,
Just thought I'd write a quick post to wish you all a Happy Christmas. I hope you all have a good one.
Now I want to share with you a recipe that has a lot of the traditional Christmas spices and is quite quick and simple to do. It is for a traditional German treat called Pfeffernusse and is quite delicious.
Pfeffernusse recipe
Makes 12
- 200g plain flour, plus a little extra for dusting
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 2 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. ground allspice
- ½ tsp. ground cloves
- ½ tsp. ground mace
- A pinch of salt
- 225g honey
- 30g butter, plus a little extra for greasing
- 2 eggs
For finishing
- 100g icing sugar
- 2 tbsp. water
- A little plum jam
- About 150g dark chocolate
1.In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, spices and salt.
2.Melt the honey and butter together in a saucepan then leave to cool until lukewarm.
3.Whisk the eggs into the cooled honey and butter, then add this to the flour mix and beat together with a wooden spoon. Cover and refrigerate for an hour, to firm up. Pre-heat the oven to 170°C/325°F/gas mark 3.
4.Lightly grease a baking tray with butter. Take dessert spoonfuls of the mix, roll into balls using floured hands, and place on the baking tray. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until risen and golden brown. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
5.Whisk together the icing sugar and water. Melt the chocolate gently in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Dip half the pfeffernusse in the icing, and put them back on the rack. When the icing has set, dip again. Cut the tops off the other half, scoop out a little of the inside, and dab in a little plum jam. Replace the tops, and dip in the chocolate. Return to the wire rack.
6.Remove the pfeffernusse to a silicone mat or baking parchment before they set completely, to stop them sticking to the rack. Prepare them on Christmas Eve and eat within two days.
I hope you enjoy these festive treats. Next issue I will give you a recipe for a nice Christmas loaf packed full of fruit, a nice alternative to Christmas cake. Eat it warm with lashings of butter on a cold winter morning – heaven!
Well, that's it for now so until next time…
