Stop us if you've heard this one: You wake up late, gulp down some coffee, grab a quick rinse in the shower and charge out the door. You fight traffic, check your personal calendar at a streetlight, and realize you have just 10 minutes to get to an important meeting downtown. The rest of your day feels the same until you collapse at home sometime after dinner.
Surely life was not meant to be this stressful. Reset your morning routine with some ideas from the Connected Life. Build a better, more efficient morning routine—one that starts your day off right.
Getting Up Peacefully
Do you have a hate/hate relationship with your alarm clock? It's no wonder—alarm clocks only tell time. They can't read your body, so they don't know if they're waking you during the deep sleep period of your sleep cycle. If your alarm goes off then, you may feel tired all day, no matter how many hours of shut-eye you actually got. There's a tech-related solution to this problem. Check out the Sleep Cycle alarm clock app ($0.99, iOS and Android). You place your phone on your mattress while you sleep, and the Sleep Cycle app uses your phone's accelerometer to track your movements and understand your sleep cycle. The app wakes you at the best time for you, within a window you select.
Healthy Teeth
Sure, you brush your teeth twice a day and visit the dentist every six months or so, but how can you know for sure that you're doing all you can to keep those pearly whites pearly and white? Several smart toothbrushes now connect to apps and analyze your brushing pattern and time. Check out smart-toothbrush offerings from Oral-B and Kolibree for examples.
Time for Yourself
There's a Zen proverb that goes, "You should sit in meditation for twenty minutes every day—unless you're too busy. Then you should sit for an hour." Along with lowering stress levels, the benefits of regular meditation include improved memory and greater productivity. Calm (Free, iOS and Android) features an easy meditation guide for beginners plus seven narrated meditation sessions, varying in length from two minutes to half an hour. Then, if you'd like to move forward, Calm offers 50 premium sessions.
Capturing Stray Ideas
When you're away from your desk, you have your best ideas. Isn't that the way? Whether you wake up with a brilliant insight or solve a problem while you're brushing your teeth, Captio ($1.99, iOS) can capture the idea quickly and send it to your inbox (or Evernote, or another task-management app that accepts entries via email). Captio also sends photos or screenshots.
Setting Goals
Often we start our day with email, calendar, and a to-do list. Step away from the race and focus on larger goals with Coach.me. This app lets you enter goals or join a group challenge. It's great for fitness tracking or something small you need a daily reminder of. Each time you complete a daily task, the app will congratulate you on how many days in a row you've completed. If you need more support, you can use the app to hire a coach to get you to the top of your game.

Kroger & its subsidiary brands are offering 4X fuel rewards on select gift cards through 4/5/15.
While variable load cards are excluded, fixed value Visa & Mastercard gift cards along with a variety of merchant gift cards are eligible. Generally the highest fixed value cards they carry are $100 for a $5.95 fee.
I personally went to my local Smith's and purchased a $100 Visa gift card. For some reason this purchase did not earn ANY fuel points. All of the fine print in the store indicated that fixed value cards should still earn fuel points, so YMMV. I did not get a chance to purchase a $100 Mastercard.
Chase Freedom
As a reminder the Chase Freedom card offers 5X on grocery store purchases through 3/31/15. (With a maximum of $1,500 in purchases between 1/1 & 3/31). A number of other credit cards have category bonuses for grocery stores as well.
How to Load
To get the offer you must first load it to your Kroger rewards card. To do this go to the Kroger (or subsidiary) site and login. Then click "coupons" and then "promotions" on the left hand side. You should then see the coupon available to be loaded to your account.

Veretski Pass finishes new CD and celebrates
The amazing trio Veretski Pass, celebrated the finishing of their second CD this past weekend with a wild concert for the Branford, CT, Folk Music Society. I am thoroughly jealous that the Branfordians were not only able to snag the band for its debut East Coast performance, but filled the hall. This is a band that belongs here in Boston at, say, Johnny D's. If booking agents read this blog, you've been warned that there is exceptional music that attracts an audience. Now do your part!
Featuring Cookie Segelstein, one of my favorite fiddle players, Stu Brotman, boss of the bass, punisher of the poyk; and Josh Horowitz (with all due respect to some amazing tsimbl players that I know), the only tsimbl player to call when you want the best, on that instrument and on accordion, the band plays something they call "Village Klezmer," a wild, ecstatic melange of Eastern European music, often Jewish, always fascinating. They featured a lot of newer material, and managed to slip in a bit of Fellini film score here, Mariachi there, just to keep things interesting.
Despite managing a thoroughly staid stage presence—Cookie moves a bit while playing, and one can see Stu's hands move as he bows the small "Hungarian Village bass", the band managed to get several audience members up and dancing, and the rest of us clapping along. Having a full evening in which to play, Cookie and Josh also took time to amuse us with intros to songs that didn't necessarily have much to do with the music, but reinforced that frequently-felt sense that we're all from Munkacs, anyway.
There aren't a lot of bands playing traditional music that sound this exciting. Please join me in figuring out how to get the band performing locally (especially locally to me so that I don't have to shlep down to New Haven). With two members now settled here on the East Coast, surely there are many excuses to pull in Stu from Berkeley and set up a tour.

Just curious to see what OS the mod's / admins and users use/prefer and why?
What phones do you use? (drmemory edit)
Windows 7 Professional x64.
I always sticked with Windows since the beginning. Probably because of a gaming purpose and because I'm too used to Windows software to switch to another OS.
I've got two with Mac 10.6.x, one with 10.5, one with Win7 pro 64 and one with Win7 home 64.

MAC :O Ugghh. I have to say its the one OS that i cannot stand.
Personlly i use a mixture of Linux / Windows. Mainly Linux now since i'm not into gaming and so have no reason to use Windows anymore.
On my main PC i have XP Pro 32bit, Fedora 13 and Win 7 Ultimate 32bit.
I use Mac for managing web sites and music/graphic-related things (music files, burning CDs, making band posters), and PC for business, geneology, and home security devices.
What is everyone else using - and how sophisticated is your network?
Windows XP,I like this system
This would be my home layout:
ADSL line ------------------------> WBMR-HP-GN (wired) ------> LS-CHL-V2 + LTH90LAN
| (Wireless) (2x laptops tri booted with Linux, Windows7 and XP
(Connected as an EC to the WBMR-HP-GN) WHR-G300NV2 ----> (wired) TS-HTGL/R5, HS-DHGL, HD/HTGL/R5, TS-XL
| (wired)
WHR-HP-G54 (flashed with DD-WRT acting as a repeater bridge to boost the WLAN 2 the garden)
| (wireless)
2 x PC-P4 Link Theathers connected for media/video access.
Various Drivestations connected to NAS' for backup purposes.
nice setup! I'll have to work on a layout for mine and post it. I have security cams and door/window sensors built in to my setup, which also connect to the TVs, so I can view in and out side my house from my TVs and even offsite (like from work).
We're running three Mac OS X 10.6 machines here. (me: MacBook Pro, wife: MacBook, daughter: Mini) I was initially attracted to OS X due to the Unix underpinnings. At that time it was wayyyy more robust than Windows. I'd hoped to do some personal software development, but have not gotten around to it, due to job and family pressures. At $DAYJOB, I work on all manner of Unix/Linux systems and a Windows XP as my workstation (although I spend most of my time on it in telnet/ssh...) My MBP serves as a secondary workstation when I'm on the job.

A stunning piece of retro design, but the Eero Aarnio Parabel dining table by Adelta doesn't come cheap.
Using his favoured fibreglass, Aarnio has produced this stunning piece of space age design, part sculpture, part practical dining furniture that's certain to be with you for some years to come.
It stands around 72cm high, with a diameter of 130cm, selling for 3,400 Euros. If that's a bit rich (and a bit large), there's also a side table with a similar look, selling for 1,460 Euros.

Chalak Berzingi, MD, an Iraqi Muslim immigrant, is the primary cardiologist in Elkins, W.Va. The town is overwhelmingly white, conservative, and supportive of the travel ban from seven Muslim-majority countries. Yet after 5 years, Berzingi and the residents of this long-time medically underserved town have forged a deep bond.
As described in STAT, they have welcomed him, and he sees his work as part of his duty as an American citizen.
He said that when the time comes that he does leave, it won't be because of discomfort or discrimination -- but only because he knows there are enough cardiologists to take care of the people who need help.

Chris Brown is set to be sued over a fight between his entourage and Frank Ocean.
Although the pair had sparred in the press, few had expected the row between Chris Brown and Frank Ocean to spill over into violence. Yet earlier this year R&B's bete noire came face-to-face with Frank Ocean, due to both booking studio time at the same studio.
A face off between their respective crews developed, before fists were thrown. Now Frank Ocean's cousin Sha'keir Duarte has signalled his intention to take legal action against Chris Brown, making allegations of assault and battery.
Duarte alleges that he suffered a concussion, humiliation, and mental anguish as a result of the incident. Chris Brown's lawyer Mark Geragos, meanwhile, told Billboard that the case was without merit: "This is what gives lawyers and lawsuits a bad name is garbage like this".
Frank Ocean had previously tweeted to fans indicating that he would not be pressing charges: "no criminal charges. no civil lawsuit. forgiveness, albeit difficult, is wisdom. peace, albeit trite, is what i want in my short life. peace."
Clash recently took another look at Frank Ocean's breakthrough album 'Channel ORANGE'. Does it live up to its reputation one year on? Find out HERE.

The Most Memorable Day of My Life
Ms. S. Nylander
English 1A
August 26, 2012
The Most Memorable Day of my Life
The most memorable day of my life was, September 4, 1995 in Chicago, IL. It was 6:00 a.m. when my alarm clock woke me up. The first day of high school was finally here. I was excited, but a lot more nervous. I got out of bed, got ready, and then was on my way to the bus stop. All I could think of is the stories I heard about high school being so horrible with all the mean teachers, the hard tests, and of course being a freshman does not help either. The bus ride to the school was only 30 minutes, but it seemed a lot longer. When we finally got there, I was more nervous than ever. The day ahead of me was about to get a lot more complicated or the start of something great.
I did not know how to get to my classroom. I was lost and I had to ask one of the students about the room number where I was going to take a math class. This individuals name was Kim. She was a white girl, about 5'6, with wavy hair, wore a blue dress and flip-flops. She acted like a normal kind of person. She was very nice and told me the right direction. When I walked into the class, I saw a number of students and at that moment, I felt odd. I became close to a girl who was from the same neighborhood I was. I asked her what classroom she was going to and found that we were in the same room number and I felt less worried. I introduced myself and said, "Hello my name is Gisela Lopez and I am new to this school," and she introduced herself to me. She said, "Hello, my name is Asia and I am also new this school." She was light skinned, about 5, 4. Asia wore a Muslim dress that was called an abaya, a head cover and high heels; she acted happy when she saw me because she was the only person that was there from my neighborhood so I thought. We went into the classroom, and the time to start class began. While we began our class, all of our classmates were quiet nobody talked. After ten minutes,...

Catherine Cole
Catherine worked alongside fellow student Hagop Toghramadjian on a project entitled "Broadening Al Noor's Network at the RC31 Sociology of Migration Conference in Doha, Qaar." Here is what they had to say about their project.
The opportunity to travel to Doha, Qatar to attend the RC31 conference on Sociology of Migration and to make connections at Qatar University was a significant step forward for Al Noor, Boston College's undergraduate Middle Eastern Studies journal.
For years, Al Noor has struggled to attract submissions from outside the Boston College student body, forcing us to select our articles from a small, often homogenous pool. At Qatar University, we met with professors in Communications and Business, as well as with students in a variety of other departments, which will allow us to expand our reach not just beyond the bubble of Boston College but beyond the United States, too. Al Noor is unique among Boston College publications in that it enjoys a large global audience of readers, thanks to the many Boston College faculty members who have introduced the journal to their contacts in the Middle East, Europe, and South America. In Doha, we continued that tradition and built relationships that will boost the journal's global leadership for years to come.
At the RC31 conference, we networked directly with academics, activists, and researchers from the Middle East, encouraging a wider range of submissions that will increase the diversity – and ultimately, the quality – of our publication. The fact that this conference focused on migration and refugee studies, the most pressing issue in the Middle East today, underscored the importance of Al Noor's presence. From meeting and learning from the foremost scholars on migration, we are better prepared to produce a publication that accurately and professionally represents the scope of Middle Eastern studies in today's world.
We grew academically from our participation in the conference, learning about both sides of the "migration coin." On one hand, leading cities such as London, New York and Singapore compete for talent in an increasingly globalized labor pool. On the other, already-struggling nations such as Kenya and Lebanon must strain to accommodate millions of desperate refugees fleeing violent conflict. Scholars at the RC31 conference advocated for a variety of policies to help maximize the benefits and minimize the harms of both forms of migration, and we returned home with their proposals very much in mind.
Our experience in Qatar was also valuable for us on a personal level. We met dozens of Qataris—from native-born university students to newly arrived Indian migrants working in the service sector. We were able to ask Qataris about the role of Islam in their lives, the treatment of migrants, and the position of women. We were fortunate to observe backstage preparations for Qatar's national day, seeing firsthand how the Gulf monarchy is working to forge a distinctive national identity. And we met and befriended several Qataris our own age, learning about their pride in their country, their hopes for the future, and their opinions of the United States.
We are grateful for the support of the Omar Aggad Fellowship. Because of its funding, we were able to make our attendance at the RC31 conference and our journal's relationship with Qatar University a reality. We want to thank everybody behind the Aggad fellowship for their support and their generosity, which has played a substantial role in our own academic development and will greatly improve the quality of Al Noor.

The beauty of this salad lies in its sweet layers of caramelized squash, the sweet jewel-bursts of pomegranate seeds, and the toasty crunch of almonds in every bite. But as a bonus, the choice of kale means it will holds up beautifully for hours after dressed with vinaigrette, unlike delicate lettuces that almost immediately lose their luster. Thanksgiving is a perfect occasion for make-ahead salads, freeing you from a last-minute dash to dress the greens.
The trick to a good kale salad? Thoroughly massaging the fibrous leaves with salt and acid; this tenderizes the kale and increases the availability of its many nutrients, like vitamins A and K and cancer-fighting carotenoids. Offer this salad as a vibrant healthy side to a big holiday spread or even on a normal weeknight, with extras packed into tomorrow's lunch.
Festive Delicata Squash and Kale Salad
1 ½ pounds delicata squash, halved lengthwise, seeded, and sliced into ½–inch half-circles
1 ¾ teaspoon sea salt, divided
½ cup whole almonds
12 ounces kale, stemmed and sliced into ½–inch strips
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
¼ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup
½ head radicchio, cored and sliced thin
¼ cup pomegranate seeds
- Preheat oven to 400˚F. Toss sliced squash with oil and ¾ teaspoon salt. Lay squash in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until bottom surface is golden and browned, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Reduce oven to 350˚F. Toast almonds on a baking sheet until golden and aromatic, about 7 minutes. Remove from oven and roughly chop. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, maple syrup and 1 teaspoon salt in a very large bowl. Add the kale and coat with the dressing; vigorously squeeze and massage kale with hands until leaves are darkened and slightly wilted, at least a minute. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
- Add the roasted squash and radicchio, and toss to gently coat. To serve, transfer to a platter and scatter over toasted almonds and pomegranate seeds.
– Nutrition Facts
for 100 gramsCalories Fat Cal.
- Kale Salad with Roasted Sweet Potato. Replace delicata squash with 1 ½ pounds sweet potato. Peel and dice in ½-inch chunks and roast as directed.
- Kale Salad with Fennel. Replace radicchio with 2 large fennel bulbs. Chop off fennel tops and discard. Slice bulbs in half from top to bottom. Slice again into quarters, and then slice out the wedge of core. Moving your knife parallel to the root end, cut the fennel in very thin slices. Add to the salad in lieu of the radicchio.
- Kale Salad with Toasted Hazelnuts. Replace the almonds with ½ cup of hazelnuts. After toasted and cooled, rub off most of the skins with a paper towel. Roughly chop and add before serving.
For good-tasting vinaigrette, a great rule of thumb is 1 part acid for every 2 parts oil. If it tastes too tart, gradually add more oil until balanced. Note that acid can be anything from citrus juice (lemon, lime) to vinegars (apple cider, sherry, balsamic). Don't forget the salt, too; start with a few pinches and taste as you tweak. Add some honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
Everything from the squash and kale to the toasted almonds are rich in healthy plant fiber.
Research shows that glucosinolates in kale support the body's detoxification pathways via compounds called isothiocyanates.
Pomegranate seeds are extraordinarily high in antioxidants and provide a high dose of vitamin C.
Raw greens, especially of the cruciferous family, have a reputation for being hard to digest. Finely chopping them and massaging their leaves with salt and oil help soften and break down the tough cell walls in much the same way as cooking with heat. Plus, you still win the benefits of uncooked, vitamin-packed greens.

In the Myrtle Beach area, temperatures have finally crept back up to the 60s after a chilly start to 2016. If the calendar didn't state otherwise, you might even think that spring is officially here. With the warmer weather comes the usual sign of spring: routine cleaning. Buildings are being power-washed, garages are opened and being swept out, and the pampas grasses are being pruned back. Although your HVAC unit might not be kicking on with heat or cool air in these mild temperatures, spring is one of the best times for scheduled cleaning of your HVAC unit with a Cooper Mechanical Services professional.
After a cold winter, the HVAC units at your workplace are probably thankful for a bit of a break. But don't let this rest lead to neglect: failing to properly clean your system could mean breakdown later, and you know you don't want to be out of AC when July or August rolls around in South Carolina.
Spring cleaning of heating and air conditioning systems involves thorough inspection. Condenser units need to be cleared of any debris that may have accumulated over the fall and winter. Things like dried or wet leaves, grasses and weeds can become lodged in the coils and removing them is an easy way to make sure your unit runs efficiently. A Cooper Mechanical Services employee can clear and chemically clean these coils and the air handler during a scheduled "Clean and Service" visit.
An inspection and cleaning of a commercial HVAC system will also look at wiring, ensuring that winter weather or small animals seeking a warm place have not loosened connections or damaged the wiring. Refrigeration pressure will be checked and a technician will drain pans and lines and add cleaning tablets. If you have new filters, Cooper is happy to install those as well.
In the end, routine cleaning is essential to keeping your heating and cooling system in working order. Cooper knows that the last thing you need is a HVAC failure during our hot and humid summer months on the Grand Strand. Scheduling a cleaning during the spring is a great way to get ready for summer and a chance to identify issues before your unit kicks back into high gear.

I have split (the majority of) the animes into 7 categories. So follow through this post and ask yourself 7 questions to decide which ones you want to watch.
I've included a simple summary/description for each anime (some comments may include mild sarcasm); You can Google the titles for more details.
Note, the numbers in square brackets are my rating of the anime out of 10. I won't rate anything that I've dropped.

- Do you like sports animes?
If yes then I recommend:
- Ace of Diamond [6] - An anime based on baseball.
- Kuroko no Basket 2 [7] - A continuation of an anime based on basketball.
- Yowamushi Pedal [7] - An anime based on cycling.
If yes then I recommend:

- Strike the Blood (Dropped) - Girls. Vampires. Super natural powers.
- White Album 2 (Dropped) - Girls. More girls.

- Log Horizon [7] - Players of a MMORPG game suddenly get trapped in-game and their consciousness gets transferred into their playable characters. The set-up is similar to that of Sword Art Online. However, the plot development is different, LH focuses more on team play and building up the community, whereas SAO focused more on a single player (Kirito). The plus side of LH is you get to hang around this cute chibi ninja girl.
If yes then I recommend:
- Do you like fanservice (for females)?
- Diabolik Lovers [8 - rated high because I'm a sucker for reverse harems]- Main character is "forced" to live with six vampire brothers and their cunning vampire uncle. "Drama" (
a lot of blood sucking) ensues.

If yes then I recommend:
- Do you like action/battle-type/Shounen genre stories?
- BlazBlue: Alter Memory [6] - Set in an alternate universe where time looping is possible, good guys fight bad guys using super powers and fancy weapons.
- Kakumeiki Valvrave 2 [8] - Second installation of the tear-jerking and suspense filled story with fighting mecha machines.
- Pokemon: XY (On hold) - A young boy journeys across the land aiming to be the best pokemon trainer by fighting various opponents and kicking Team Rocket's buttocks.
- Samurai Flamenco [5] - An amateur male model/actor aims to become a super hero and fight crime by donning a costume and teaming up with a cop. It starts off very funny and realistic but then the anime turns sour when they start introducing aliens/sinister super natural beings into the plot.
- Tokyo Ravens [6] - A group of teenagers training at a school to fight demons using supernatural powers.
- Yozakura Quartet: Hana no Uta [7] - A group of teenagers running a city and try to fight demons using supernatural powers.
- Magi: The Kingdom of Magic 2 [6.5] - Second installation of action/fantasy story. Personally, I loved the manga, but I was sad that they turned the anime all "kiddy". I only watch for the sake of the seiyuus.
- Kyoukai no Kanata [4] - A group of teenagers fight demons and make friends using supernatural powers. If you like typical KyoAni art work (eg. Free!, Hyouka, K-On, Tamako Market) then this is the one to go for. The storyline and character development were typical and 'by-the-book'. On the bright side there's not much thinking involved to understand what's happening because the explanation hits you in one single episode (episode 10) and then all the puzzle pieces click into place. Ending was terrible.
If yes then I recommend:
- Do you like slice-of-life humour?
- Super Seisyun Brothers [7] - Two pairs of brothers and sisters talk about and making fun of their daily lives.

Click to download today's FREE PDF: https://mindovermunch.com/PDF/April23_RootVegetables_MindOverMunch.pdf Today I show you a great way to…
Our best selling ebook turned into a course – Meal prep ignite!
Our best selling ebook turned into a course – Meal prep ignite!
Upgrade your old-school mashed potatoes and try this wholesome root vegetable mash at Thanksgiving! Adding root vegetables like parsnips, rutabaga, and carrots to the mix makes this mash extra nutritious AND colorful.
Plus, this marbled mash pairs sweeter AND savory varieties together for a fun flavor twist! Personally, I LOVE butter in my mashed potatoes, but if you aren't a fan you can skip it. Or, nix the butter if you're wanting this to be a vegan root vegetable mash!
With or without butter, this dish tastes like a fancier, ultra-comforting batch of mashed potatoes—perfect for a holiday meal. And, there are loads of different winter root vegetables that you can try out in your own root vegetable mash! Trust me, they're all bound to be delicious!
(For a paleo root vegetable mash, simply ditch the russet potatoes and use more parsnips, turnips, and rutabagas instead!)
Of course, the taste of this root vegetable mash is sure to please. But, most impressive to your guests will definitely be that eye-catching swirl of festive colors! And, thanks to the natural color differences of the veggies in this root vegetable mash recipe, that marbled effect is really simple to create.
The key is to prepare your parsnip turnip potato mash separately from the carrot and sweet potato mash. Then, simply swirl your white and orange mashes together, and you've got one gorgeous marbled root vegetable mash!
To make my swirl, I simply arranged dollops of my white and orange mashes (alternating colors) in a spiral inside of my serving dish. And, using the back of my spoon as a tool, I gently smoothed out the dollops into an even layer of fun, swirled color.
But, be careful not to swirl too aggressively or mix too much—your root vegetable mash may end up all one color instead of marbled! Be patient and have fun with it!
With tons of tasty goodies in my 150+ Healthy Holiday Recipes eBook!
White Root Vegetable Mash:
1–2 russet potatoes (~½ lb), peeled & chopped
4–6 parsnips (~½ lb), peeled & chopped
½–1 rutabaga (~½ lb), peeled & chopped
2–4 turnips (~½ lb), peeled & chopped
½ tsp salt
2 Tbsp grass-fed butter
2 Tbsp almond milk, or nondairy milk of choice
Orange Root Vegetable Mash:
3–4 sweet potatoes (~1 lb), peeled & chopped
5–6 carrots (~1 lb), chopped
½ tsp salt
2 Tbsp grass-fed butter
2 Tbsp almond milk, or nondairy milk of choice
*To marble my mashes, I arranged dollops of my white and orange mash next to each other in a dish, then pressed down with the back of a spoon to gently swirl them together. Be careful not to get TOO forceful with the swirling if you want the colors to stay distinct!
**For a dairy-free & vegan root vegetable mash: omit butter and substitute with more nondairy milk.
**For a paleo root vegetable mash: substitute for russet potatoes with more parsnips, turnips, and/or rutabaga, and omit butter if preferred.

"I love going to Peter Schott's here in Boise for special occasions," writes Tracie Merrell of Boise, Idaho. "The restaurant is elegant but relaxed, and the food is memorable, especially the mushroom soup with Brie croutons."
Freezing the Brie firms it, so removing the rind and slicing the cheese are much easier.
- Yield
- Makes 6 (first-course) servings
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
- 3 large leeks (white and pale green parts only), thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
- 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, sliced
- 8 ounces crimini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons dry Sherry
- 4 green onions, sliced
- 12 1/4-inch-thick slices French-bread baguette
- 1/2 pound Brie, frozen, rind removed, cheese cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- Melt butter in large pot over medium-high heat. Add leeks and all mushrooms; sauté 8 minutes. Add flour and stir 1 minute. Gradually mix in stock. Bring to boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Add cream and Sherry and simmer 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in green onions. (Soup can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and refrigerate.)
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Place bread slices on baking sheet. Bake until light golden, about 10 minutes. Cool. Top croutons with cheese slices.
- Preheat broiler. Place 6 ovenproof bowls or soufflé dishes on baking sheet. Bring soup to simmer; ladle into bowls. Top each with 2 croutons. Broil until cheese is completely melted, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with chives and serve.

allow boolean-type searches when viewing tagged entries
Short, concise description of the idea
Instead of only being able to view one tag at a time, I'd like the ability to view entries that are tagged with two (or more) specific tags. For example, journal entries that have both "kittens" and "puppies" as tags.
Full description of the idea
This feature would let LiveJournal's tag system work more like the tags on Delicious. On Delicious you can filter results by selecting different tag combinations.
So, on LiveJournal, instead of getting all entries tagged "Batman" and then searching through them to find Batman icons, users could select the tags "Batman" and "icons," giving them, ta da!, all the posts that contain Batman icons.
If we're feeling really brave, we could add the "not" operator as well, allowing us to select posts with "Batman" but exclude those that are also tagged "musical theatre."
- Makes the tagging system more flexible.
- Allows readers to fine-tune their searches, giving faster results.
- Stops users from having to load page after page of a popular tag. Using "and" or "not" searches will limit their hits.
- May help journals that have already hit their limit on tags; they can create fewer tags if they know they can search them more efficiently.
- I hear tags already create some strain on the servers, this will only make them wheeze all the more.
- Will probably require a new page/interface to deal with these searches.

Sheila disappointed with Delhi Congress chief's style of working
New Delhi: Former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Thursday hit out at Delhi Congress Chief Ajay Maken, saying she was disappointed with his style of functioning, as he "does not consult and reach out to party workers".
"I am disappointed with Ajay Maken that he does not consult (with anyone), he does not reach out to anybody. In democratic politics, most important thing is reaching out," Dikshit said on being asked why she thought senior leaders in the party were not happy with Delhi Congress chief.
In a setback to the Congress ahead of the April 23 civic polls, former Delhi Congress chief Arvinder Singh Lovely and former Youth Congress leader Amit Malik quit the party and joined the BJP on Tuesday.
Barkha Singh on Thursday quit as the party's women's wing chief in Delhi. She also hit out at Vice President Rahul Gandhi and Ajay Maken.
On being told that if she had campaigned in Delhi for the MCD elections, it would have been better for the Congress, she said: "That's for the party to decide."
Asked if the party had invited her, she replied "No. They could have, that's up to them, if they decide not to, then I don't have anything to say at all. I have never campaigned for MCD elections."
Asked if she was miffed with Delhi Congress' functioning, she said: "I am not angry with the party, I just want the party to be a little more active and a little more inclusive."
Earlier, on April 3, former Delhi legislator Amrish Gautam quit the Congress and joined the BJP, while former Congress Minister AK Walia threatened to quit over distribution of party tickets for the April 23 civic polls in Delhi.
"Walia also raised concerns, but he went back on it. Asked if he was quitting, she said: "Not to my knowledge".
Asked about Congress' prospects in MCD elections, she said: "MCD has been ruled by the BJP for the past 10 years. It has been a very absysmal performance. The city is looking dirty and all the things that are responsibility of the municipality has not been fulfilled."

Milwaukee family sells island to conservancy
GREEN BAY, WI (AP) — A Milwaukee family has sold an island off of Door County to the Nature Conservatory, to ensure that it is protected.
Fred Luber is former chairman and chief executive of Super Steel Products. He and his family sold 94 percent of St. Martin Island to the conservancy for $1.5 million — about 60 percent of its fair market value.
The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports the island will soon belong to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's Green Bay National Wildlife Refuge.
The remaining 6 percent of the island is owned by another private landowner and the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians. The conservancy has contacted both about preservation.
The island is technically in Michigan waters. The conservancy's Wisconsin and Michigan programs partnered up to acquire it.

When will I have power to my home?
Do you have a payment plan where I can pay the same amount each month?
Budget Billing is a billing method that helps residential members avoid the wide changes in monthly bills brought about by use of electric heat and air conditioning. The program spreads the cost out across the year so monthly bills don't vary drastically. To qualify you must:
Do you offer payments by bank draft?
Monthly electric bills can be paid by bank draft. Under this program you give your bank permission to pay your bill from your checking account each month. The bill you receive from Magnolia Electric Power is marked paid. Ask for a payment by bank draft application from Magnolia Electric Power Billing Department.
What are your rates?
A residential rate and a residential all-electric rate are available. A winter adjustment to both residential rates reduces the cost above 1,000 kilowatt hours during the heating season. Other rates apply to farm, commercial and industrial consumers.
What are your deposits and other service fees?
I'm building a new home, do you have any special incentives?
Magnolia Electric Power's Comfort Advantage Home program provides incentive payments to members building new all-electric homes. In order to qualify, the home must meet certain insulation and weatherization requirements, use a high efficiency electric water heater and be heated and cooled by a high efficiency heat pump.
How much does it cost to get power to my house/mobile home/apartment?
All prospective members are required to pay a $20 membership fee. No additional membership fee is required for extra accounts. A $40 service charge is required for each service point. In addition to these charges, a member is required to pay additional deposits.
How long does it take to get power to my home?
If line construction is needed, it should take 7-10 working days after all fees have been paid.
Can you bill the deposit?
No, a deposit must be paid upfront before the power is turned on.
How do I get electric service to my mobile home?
You will need to bring to the Magnolia Electric Member Services Department:
You will also need to provide:
(Click here to see the mobile home meter loop specifications along with the diagram.)
In addition, if a line must be built across someone else's property to serve you, you will be asked to obtain easements (written permission to cross the property and remove trees and shrubbery.)
What will it cost to get my mobile home electric power set up?
How long will it take to get power to my mobile home?
Are you going to cut any trees?
If a primary line is installed, a minimum of 30 feet will be cleared.
Members are responsible for cleaning up the right-of-way.
Why do we have a construction charge for different things?
Construction charges are accessed so that existing members do not have to subsidize new construction for new members.
How can I lower my power bill?

Struggling with a Ruminating Mind? 5 Strategies to Help
Ruminating is replaying mistakes you've made. It's replaying the times you might've failed. It's thinking over and over again about all the reasons why you're not good enough. Ruminating is dwelling on the decision you should've made but didn't.
It's thinking a litany of what-ifs: What if I screwed up the interview? What if I don't get that job? What if I don't get any job anytime soon? What if I won't be able to pay my bills? What if I'll lose my home?
Sometimes we don't even realize we're stuck in a ruminating cycle. It's become all too automatic — a playlist of personal regrets, failures, inadequacies and anxieties.
According to Alice Boyes, Ph.D, in her new book The Anxiety Toolkit: Strategies for Fine-Tuning Your Mind and Moving Past Your Stuck Points, "ruminating can sometimes be a bit like daydreaming, in that people often get lost in rumination without realizing they're doing it."
So the first strategy for disrupting the ruminating cycle is to recognize it. Do the above examples sound familiar? Or maybe you ruminate about other topics. Jot them down.
Then consider practicing these additional tips from Boyes's book.
Don't trust your memory.
According to Boyes, "when people are anxious, they often have biased recall for events." For instance, when ruminating about your job interview, you only focus on how the supervisor seemed to sprint through his questions. You completely forget that you provided several spot-on responses, which he complimented.
As Boyes said, "you might be ruminating about something fictional or at least magnified."
To explore this further, she suggests asking yourself these questions about your ruminating: What's your ruminating mind communicating? What are the objective data? Are you remembering feedback as more critical than it actually was? Are you remembering your performance as worse than it was?
Shrink self-criticism.
"Reducing self-criticism is a critical part of reducing rumination," because it only fuels it, Boyes writes. People assume that if they criticize themselves, they'll move forward and do better. But self-criticism is paralyzing. It boosts anxiety and sinks your mood.
Boyes suggests practicing self-compassion instead. Try this exercise: Think of a mistake or weakness. For three minutes write about it, but imagine that you're talking to yourself in a compassionate and understanding way.
Switch out "shoulds."
Should (and shouldn't) statements amplify and perpetuate rumination. Boyes includes these examples: "I shouldn't ever let anyone down," "I should be able to handle life much better" and "I shouldn't get anxious about such little issues."
Whenever your mind starts listing shoulds, swap out the word "should" with "prefer." This helps you talk to yourself in a kinder, gentler way and disrupts the ruminating loop.
For example, instead of saying "I should have achieved more by now," Boyes writes, you say, "I would prefer to have achieved more by now."
Practice mindfulness meditation.
Boyes likens mindfulness meditation to Tylenol because it helps with multiple issues: "decreasing anxiety-induced overarousal, boosting your focus, and improving your ability to detect rumination."
She shares these sample practices to try every day. Start with three minutes and increase your time by 30 seconds every day: become aware of any surrounding sounds and the silence between the sounds; walk and pay attention to what you see; pay attention to the sensations of the moment, including your breathing and your body making contact with the chair.
As you're meditating, your mind will likely start slipping back into the ruminating cycle. It's normal for our brains to keep chattering. Meditation takes practice. When your mind wanders, gently and compassionately bring it back to the meditation.
Identify several options.
This tip helps you move into problem-solving mode (and out of rumination). Identify three to six options to solve your problem, and list them. Make sure they're concrete and realistic.
Boyes shares this example: You hired an employee, who just isn't working out. "Instead of mentally slapping yourself around about why you made the hire, it would be more useful to define what your options are at this point."
These might include giving the person more time; giving them checklists with the steps they need to perform for each task; partnering them up with a colleague; and letting them go.
Disrupting the ruminating cycle takes practice. The first step is to recognize that your mind is replaying the loop. Then try the above strategies to see what helps best. And remember that you can see a therapist at any time to help you work through this.

Most holiday-themed children's books, let's face it, aren't very good. Most are conceived and created mainly to be promoted at their respective times of the year, and accordingly aren't terribly inspired. And Presidents' Day would seem, if anything, an even worse holiday than usual for kids' books; the preponderance of those pegged to it that I've seen through the years have been dutifully dull marches through the cherry trees and log cabins.
But two new books—one for each president, each illustrated by an artist known (among other things) for New Yorker covers—are out to change that. George Washington's Birthday: A Mostly True Tale, by Margaret McNamara and illustrated by Barry Blitt, is a whimsical tale of George's own seventh birthday. The authors don't exactly shy away from the hagiographic details by any means—but, borrowing a page from Blitt's sublime 2006 solo outing The 39 Apartments of Ludwig Van Beethoven, drop in little "fact" and "myth" boxes here and there to set the record straight.
The book makes young George refreshingly human; as he becomes more and more frustrated that his entire family appears to have forgotten his birthday, he quite naturally, well, acts out a bit. Early on it's muted—muttering "I'll be the boss of you someday" under his breath to his older half-brother (who's also his teacher)—but of course it all culminates in big-time vented frustrations on that poor cherry tree.
McNamara's tone is delightful throughout, just breezy enough without losing its grounding in the parts of its narrative that are based in fact, and she makes our first president more approachable and sympathetic than he appears in just about any other children's book I can think of—even the ones in which he's a child. And Blitt's trademark warped-realistic watercolors complement her text wonderfully, adding an additional and quite funny level of expressiveness to our hero. This is one of those books that slowly turns up the corners of your mouth as you read.
Maira Kalman's Looking at Lincoln is similarly imaginative, and even similarly whimsical, but also (as befits its subject) more pensive. In it, a child narrator takes the reader through her own investigation of the guy on the five-dollar bill (as she initially thinks of him). She hits the big historical points, of course, but it's the Kalman-ian flights of fancy that really make this book special: the girl's picturing Lincoln loving apples and vanilla cake, for instance.
Actually, Kalman even lends the historical stuff this extra dimension—when it comes time to recount the president's tragic murder, she opens the scene by noting that after the horrors of war, Lincoln felt the need to laugh at something and thus went to see the fateful performance of the comedic play at Ford's Theatre. It's all presented in a somber, matter-of-fact voice that feels very true and right, both for the young narrator herself and for the children who'll be reading this book. Kalman is masterful at capturing the wonder of discovery that's at the heart of all the best history—and she somehow allows even an adult reader who knows a lot about Lincoln to partake in rediscovery.

David Kelly's Curated L&D Content for the Week of 3/12/18
This week's curated content includes links exploring the following:
- how a governance framework can help inform technology purchase decisions
- how software training can be done without actual training
- another example of marketing techniques that can be used by L&D professionals
- the critical elements needed in online communities
- tips for creating game-based learning from card game makers
- a great example of where AR and VR can intersect
Corral fast-moving learning technology and curation with a governance framework by Amy A. Titus, Jen Behrens, & Michelle Weaver
As more and more learning technologies emerge, it becomes increasingly challenging for individuals and organizations to vet technologies and make purchasing decisions. This post explores how the use of a governance framework can facilitate those decisions.
How to design software training, part 1: Do everything except "train" by Cathy Moore
For many orgainzations, courses are the default solution used by training departments. There's nothing wrong with a course or with training being used to solve a performance issue, but it shouldn't be the default. When I would coach the ID teams I supported, one of the most common questions I would ask was "What's the least disruptive way we can address this?" That was the lens through which I wanted them to see their work. This excellent post takes that idea and makes it tactical.
Engage Learners One Drip at a Timeby Bianca Bauman
There are plenty of techniques Marketing departments use that L&D Professionals can learfn from. This post examines one such marketing technique – the Drip Campaign – and examines how it can be used in the context of Onboarding and other training programs.
3 Essential Elements to Build an Online Communityby Elizabeth Pierce
Online communities are a popular topic in L&D, but what really qualifies as an online community? This post explores three components that are needed for something to truly be a community.
I also like that after explaining the three components, the author takes time to explore an example of the components in action.
5 Steps to Creating Your Own Killer Card Game via Shuffled Ink
Games-based learning continues to gain interest in our industry. There are a number of challenges that existing designers encounter when they decide to venture into the world of game-based learning. One of those challenges is overlooking the important parts of building a game that is not necessarily part of the traditional instructional design and development workflow. This post explores 5 steps that are critical to building an effective card game. While the post is centered on card-based games, the steps and ideas shared here are transferable to most game-based learning initiatives.
The Red Cross Chooses AR To Highlight The Visceral Realities Of War by Peter Graham
This article explores an interesting app called Enter the Room, which is an app the Red Cross created to help people experience the effects wars can have on families, as seen through the eyes of a child. The article describes the app, which is an interesting example of how AR and VR can be used to help people learn through story. However, I also recommend you download the app itself and take part in the experience (which is only a few minutes long). While the experience is worth it on its merits, I share it here because it's an interesting example of technology being used to help people learn without it looking like education, and it's also another fascinating example of how the AR and VR discussions continue to evolve and in many ways intersect.

The first-winter FRANKLIN'S GULL present off Barassie Shore until dark was found by Bruce Kerr and was seen by about 5 others before it got pitch dark, including Angus Murray (who identified it) and Brian Orr. Due to the light conditions, no photographs were taken.
It represents only the second record for Ayrshire, following a first-summer seen daily on the ebbing tide at Irvine Harbour from 2nd-6th July 1980 (see Scottish Birds 12: 258-259).

Just in time for the holidays, Victor Zammit has updated his "Michael Pisspot" post. This time, I'm glad to say, he actually uses my name (in addition to the sarcastic nickname). This is the first time he has ever identified me by name in all of his attacks, so I feel I am making progress.
Or maybe not. You judge. This is the revised post. I've put the new stuff in red:
MICHAEL Prescott - PISSPOT – He tries to stab Victor in the back. He's got blogs to try to denigrate, discredit and debase everything Victor stands for. He tries to take away Victor's credibility, integrity and honesty. He imputes dishonesty. He implies fraud and trickery in Victor's materialization methodology. He's not an empiricist, not a scientist, not qualified, knows nothing about scientific method, knows nothing about evidence - but he's negatively prejudicial against materializations. He shows he's full of hatred, jealousy and green with envy, exudes sewer-level information – someone who tries to attack me. Michael Pisspot - a closed minded loser defeatist is too silly to rebut the afterlife evidence, too dumb and negatively prejudicial to understand objective, repeatable evidence, too much of an imbecile to understand intellectual afterlife substance. This Pisspot who tries to attack me shows he experiences too much frustration in not being able to rebut my hard core evidence for the afterlife – so he does the next thing he knows: he throws mud at the source of his frustration and LIES and cheats to mislead the unthinking readers - one of America's greatest cowards! Wake up loser!
Does anyone else find it weird that Victor refers to himself in the third person?
Some readers have commented that it's awful for me to be subjected to this kind of attack. I don't feel that way. Although I was taken aback by Victor's first shot across my bow more than eighteen months ago, I've gotten used to his diatribes and have even learned to enjoy them. And believe it or not, I don't think he really intends any of this personally. He writes essentially the same thing about all his critics, even using the same words and expressions (loser, defeatist, imbecile, liar, closed-minded, lives in a sewer, throws mud, etc.). This just seems to be the mode that he enters when he feels he is under assault. He has certain catch-phrases that he starts blurting out.
I believe he's quite unconscious of resorting to the same (rather limited) arsenal of invective over and over. But the subconscious is wiser than the conscious mind, and it is letting him know. Notice that many of the insults he flings at others accurately describe his own behavior - "throwing mud," for instance.
I think he would benefit from reading Eckhart Tolle and learning how unconscious much of our everyday, conditioned behavior really is. Of course, I have no realistic hope that he will take my advice.
Anyway, Victor, if you're reading, there are no hard feelings on this end, mate. I get a kick out of your posts, especially when they're about me. Keep 'em coming! I wish you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy - nay, a world-shattering - New Year!
The same goes sentiment goes out to all my readers, even those who don't think I'm one of America's greatest cowards. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Where's the Intent When the Crime is Backdating?
The first backdating case brought by prosecutors is proving to be - not so easy for the government - as the court is considering the defense motion to dismiss. The defense motion (here), in the case against former Brocade Communications CEO Gregory Reyes, has the court pondering whether the necessary mens rea exists to sustain this prosecution. According to law.com the court has given the government until 8 a.m. Monday to file a written brief explaining the basis for finding sufficient mens rea in this case. Several points to note here:
1. This is a case of turning the tables on the government. Typically it is the government that ruins defense counsel's weekend by providing discovery - like Jencks Act statements - on Friday afternoon before a Monday a.m. trial. It is good to see a judge applying this strict time-line for the government to produce its brief. Perhaps feeling these pressures, the government will let other offices in the U.S. know that they need to be more sensitive in providing discovery material sooner than the weekend before trial.
2. The basic premise is that "intent can be inferred from the circumstances." But it is also a basic premise that there needs to be some evidence in order for the case to move to the next level. The interesting question here will be whether the prosecution can provide enough links that will allow this inference to be made.
3. Prosecutions cost money. Is this the kind of case that requires the expenditure of tax dollars?

In 2002, NXP Semiconductors and Sony co-invented Near Field Communication (NFC), a short-range wireless connectivity technology that provides consumers with simple and secure, intuitive and convenient interaction between a variety of electronic devices, such as mobile phones, computers and digital cameras. Examples of NFC use cases include mobile phones that enable payment and ticketing as well as digital cameras that send their photos to a TV set with a simple tap. NFC evolved from a combination of contactless identification and interconnection technology, operating in 13.56MHz frequency range and over a distance of a few centimeters and was standardized by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) in 2004.
Since its early days, NFC has garnered major interest from various industries. In an effort to advance the use of the technology NXP, Nokia and Sony joined forces and established the NFC Forum in 2004, focused on developing specifications, ensuring interoperability between devices and services and educating the market about NFC. More than 150 member companies make up the Forum today, including semiconductor, handset, PC and consumer electronics manufacturers, applications developers, financial services institutions, among others.
The struggle for standardization
Early days of NFC adoption lacked technical standards and cooperation among numerous ecosystem players, and were faced with market misconceptions. That said, business model discussions and the struggle to finalize standardization of the technology have yielded great progress addressing the needs and ambitions of the various players within the NFC mobile ecosystem. More than 200 NFC projects have been conducted worldwide to date, including trials and commercial deployments with varying use cases of the technology, all of which have resulted in strong adoption and positive feedback from users about NFC's ease-of-use.
Recently, NFC players successfully standardized the NFC SIM interface at European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). This Single Wire Protocol (SWP) provides the interface between the SIM card and the NFC chipset on the hardware layer, and enables the hosting of contactless applications securely in SIM cards of mobile phones, a key request from mobile networks operators.
NXP has actively supported and contributed to the development of a definition of a common SWP standard that is fully compliant with the existing contactless infrastructure. Additionally, the software layer for NFC applications, the Host Controller interface (HCI), has been standardized. The first products using these standards, such as the Nokia 6216, have recently been announced (http://www.nokia.com/A4136001?newsid=1307541), and will be commercially available in the second half of 2009.
The leap forward with NXP's PN544
Leveraging its leadership and expertise in NFC, NXP has presented the world's first industry standard NFC controller with the company's launch of the PN544. The PN544 delivers a fully compliant standards-based for handset manufacturers and operators developing next generation NFC devices and services, and is based on the latest NFC specifications by ETSI.
The PN544 is fully compliant with all released NFC specifications on the SWP connection with the SIM and the Host Controller Interface. In addition, NXP worked closely with leading SIM card manufacturers, including Gemalto, Oberthur Technologies and Giesecke & Devrient, to ensure SWP interface interoperability including support of the MIFARE technology. The new NFC controller is fully backwards compatible and interoperable with existing contactless infrastructure for payments and ticketing (e.g. MIFARE), already in place across the world.
To meet the needs of differing handset manufacturers, the PN544 has been designed to support the three main architectures used to secure NFC transactions, including the Secure Element within the Universal Integrated Card (UICC), within the SD card and within the mobile handset (embedded Secure Element: PN544 plus Smart MX security in a pin to pin compliant solution).
The PN544 also features optimized antenna designs for best-in-class performance and a small footprint for size optimization in various electronic device architectures. The controller is specifically designed for low power consumption and works with energy from the field if the handset battery power is low or off. NXP offers the PN544 together with an optional modular, generic and platform independent software stack. To shorten the integration time, NXP also offers qualified design-in support.
The way forward for NFC
With standardization issues resolved, mobile handset makers can take advantage of the compliant chipsets, and can begin producing NFC handsets in larger volumes. Major handset manufacturers are currently NXP's PN544 to ramp up their production, and new standard compliant NFC devices should be available in the second half of 2009.
This development will bring NFC-enabled phones to consumers in large volumes, so they can take advantage of the ease, speed and convenience offered by the technology. Leading handset manufacturers have indicated plans to incorporate NFC as a standard feature into their cell phone platforms, comparable with today.
With large contactless infrastructure already in place, it is expected that commercial deployments will initially focus on contactless payment in Northern America and on ticketing in Asia and Europe. The arrival of NFC handsets and other NFC-enabled devices will advance the adoption of NFC and boost the launch of new contactless applications and services in the markets around the globe.

Wabash WA-250X
A 1928 five place low wing cabin monoplane powered by a 260hp Salmson "superposed radial". First flown on 20 April 1928 as NC5246 c/n 51-C, the aircraft was put into storage in Oct 1920 at (Frank) O'Neal Aircraft Co, Vincennes IN, USA.
It was then acquired by O'Neal in a court sale on 2 October 1933 to satisfy a storage bill. It was sold on 15 October 1934 to Peter Soderling Jr, of Petersburg IN, who installed a 360hp Salmson and converted it to three place. The CAA cancelled the registration on 15 November 1937.
Only the one was ever built.
Wing span: 39'0"

About this course
We are currently refining the structure of this training in an online format and so the times and dates may change slightly. Participants will be notified of any changes with sufficient notice.
Please submit application form and all associated document to email@example.com before making a booking.
The course aims to develop advanced skills in group and individual supervision of IPT practice. The course aims to provide participants with advanced knowledge and theoretical understanding of IPT, and will provide a competency based format for self assessment and clinical supervision. It will extend the knowledge and skills of qualified IPT practitioners in the clinical application of IPT across all focal areas and a range of clinical presentations. This course will consolidate IPT practitioner skills and develop knowledge and understanding of the skills required to supervise in a peer and accreditation setting.
Trainees will develop skills in evaluating adherence to the IPT model, communicating effectively and constructively on the successful application of knowledge and techniques, and managing and supporting change in non adherent practice. The module will equip trainees with knowledge and understanding of the importance of communication skills, conceptualization skills, evaluation skills, supporting skills transfer from alternative approaches, promoting development of new skills and adapted application of existing skills in IPT trainees.
Who is this course suitable for?
This course is suitable for IPT practitioners who have completed practitioner level accreditation and have registered with IPTUK (http://www.iptuk.net/). Practitioners must have completed at least four IPT cases under accreditation level supervision.
Qualified IPT supervisor are also welcome to attend to develop competence in using an competency based protocol for IPT supervision or to become accredited as an IAPT IPT supervisor.
We have fully-funded places available for IAPT staff accross England.
Aims of course
- To develop advanced practical skills in delivering IPT.
- To develop advance skills in IPT case formulation and conceptualization as a basis for self assessment and peer supervision
- To develop and understanding of the competency framework for IPT and its application in clinical supervision.
- To provide a framework for clinical practice and supervision in IPT that is in accordance with IPTUK standards and IPT Supervisor competencies.
- To develop practical competencies in using the IPT competency framework to supervise Interpersonal Psychotherapy and integrate with generic competencies in delivering and supervising psychological therapy
- To contribute in part to completion of IPTUK accreditation as an IPT supervisor (including in an IAPT setting).
System requirements for online training
The online platform Zoom will be used to deliver this training. Prior to booking on, please ensure you meet the system requirements so you're able to join this training.
Before the training, please test your equipment is working by going to Zoom.us/test and follow the instructions.
Supervision and Accreditation
IPTUK supervisor accreditation requires that each of the four IPT focal areas have been employed during accreditation casework. For some therapists this may require more than six cases to be conducted to complete the training portfolio. Trainees will require a minimum of 5 hours per week protected time to complete stage one requirements of supervision accreditation (approximately 20 weeks): 2 hours direct client contact, 1 hour supervision, 2 hours tape review and preparing self assessment and peer assessment reports. IPT/IPT-A supervisor accreditation also requires a period of supported supervision practice i.e. supervision of two cases being delivered under supervision. This follows stage one of training.Trainees will require a minimum of 4 hours protected time per week to complete stage two requirements of supervision accreditation (approximately 20 weeks): 1 hour providing supervision, 1 hour reviewing therapy recordings, 1.5 hours preparing supervision reports and self assessment; 0.5 hours receiving supervision.
Trainees must attend weekly supervision sessions with a peer supervisor trainee. This will be facilitated by an accredited IPT supervisor, in accordance with national training programme guidelines. Trainee supervisors will provide peer supervision, including tape review, on a minimum of one case in addition to receiving supervision on the two cases they conduct. Supervision will therefore require telephone or video conferencing facilities if face to face meetings cannot be co-ordinated. Trainees will be required to submit digital recordings of therapy sessions as well as verbal and written reports. Casework and Peer Supervision should start immediately following day 2 of the training and be completed before day 5.
What accreditation will successful trainees receive?
When the criteria are met, the trainee will receive:
- IPTUK Certificate of Completion for Supervisor Training in Interpersonal Psychotherapy Level D
Cost of casework and supervision:
The fee for supervision of casework and supervision is £2,600.
