Spent most of last week in ICU – it was a salutary experience in some ways though rather stressful in others. I wasn't the patient (which helps I suppose). My husband, Richard, had been struggling all weekend with a sore leg – he was officiating at a wedding at the time the leg got really painful, which is not the most convenient of times to have a health meltdown – I mean, you really don't want to ruin someone's Big Day. The next morning the leg was no better, so we wrestled with the challenge of how-serious-is-this-enough-to-warrant-the-emergency-room-on-a-Sunday? In the end sense won out over sensibility and he waited until Monday morning to present himself at the doctor's rooms. The doctor was concerned but calm – no need to panic, but we'll check it out just in case. On Tuesday morning I was concentrating hard on my breathing (Pilates class – I don't normally have to concentrate to breathe) when I opened my eyes to find the receptionist's face about a foot away from mine – your husband's on the phone. My cell-phone was in the locker, the class is only an hour long: that said it all. I have a clot in my leg, can you take me to the hospital – now.
Now you are probably wondering why he hadn't stayed at the hospital where they did the scan – I was. But you have to understand the politics of choice – if he got admitted through Casualty there was no choice of the doctor he would see, so the GP allowed him to ride his motorbike home (yes, he had arrived for the scan on a motorbike!) while he fixed up admission through the Specialist Physician. It did mean a painful wait in the reception while we filled out the forms and an even more painful wait on the ward while the nurse took a seemingly irrelevant medical history Are you pregnant? (Seriously!) What did you say you were admitted for? This is actually an emergency, please can you quit the questions and call the doctor? The doctor, when he arrived, was an embodiment of professional reassurance – yes, you do have several clots, but it's not a crisis, we are going to thin your blood to make sure you don't get any more and just keep an eye on things until things stabilize – your own body will eventually wear away the original clot over the next few months. All fine then. The cough? We'll do a CT scan of the lungs – just in case. That's how I left things. Around 6.30pm I got an sms: CT found spots of embolism damage on lungs, moving me to High Care later, feeling the same, no reason to change evening plans.
So, at 11 o'clock the following morning when I sneaked into High Care with his favourite double-shot cappuccino (no official visiting until 3pm) – I thought things would look more or less the same. When I got there, I discovered that the whole world had shifted. My lean, muscular, gym-fit husband had been tethered to the bed by the full compliment of electronic surveillance devices. A saline drip was keeping the veins open, a nose tube administered oxygen while the finger peg monitored its saturation and the blood-pressure cuff had been inflating every 20 minutes throughout the night. It was impossible for him to move (or sleep- very frustrating!) If he wanted the bathroom he had to call the nurse to unhook him and wheel him the 3 metres across the ward – he was not allowed to set foot on the floor. My tower of strength had been rendered frail by implication – he wasn't ill in any normal sense of the word, but he was defined critical risk by an invisible threat lurking in his veins.
I forgot to explain that High Care is actually part of ICU – it's one big ward that never sleeps; the lights are never dimmed; the alarms never cease; the patients are merely segregated by the extent of nursing care they require. It functions on High Alert 24/7 and occasionally rises to Calm Frenzy when the big sirens announce that someone has 'coded' and all hands converge on the same deck, paddles flailing. It is a place for the very sick and completely comatose. It is not a good place for the wide-awake and I was feeling quite fine and healthy until I got here. Don't get me wrong, I was extremely grateful for the high-tech equipment. It safeguarded my nearest and dearest – who had it transpired, been a walking time bomb for six weeks since he got off his fourth long-haul flight in three weeks. He had arrived home with a pain in his leg that had disappeared after two days and had turned into a relentless cough (evidence of the first embolism that had miraculously passed through his lungs without causing major damage.) I comforted myself with the knowledge that the worst had almost certainly passed through what I ascribe to divine intervention. God loves him. God kept him safe when we had no idea of the danger he was in. It seemed like unbelief to pray fervently now for his safety when God had already answered the prayer even before I prayed it.
But it was nevertheless very stressful to see the person you care most about in the world rendered fragile by the psychological trauma of being tied to a set of tubes in case he attempted to die suddenly. The curious thing was that I was no stranger to ICU – through various circumstances I have visited almost every ward in our new local hospital that has been open less than a year. In every other case I was the supportive friend or the praying pastor – one who brings hope and comfort to others who are drowning. The nurses had gotten to know me – they let me in outside of visiting hours – they even gave me access to the critically ill. Somehow it all changes when you lose that professional detachment. You start to monitor your own heart – what do I feel and what do I need and what do I really believe? The most overwhelming feeling was that of being alone – perhaps his existential crisis had become mine. Or maybe I was just sensing the vibe of the ICU – a dozen or more seriously ill patients with their fearful families – the anxiety in the air is almost palpable. The most supportive thing you can do in such an environment is to hold someone's hand and communicate that you are not afraid. Love overcomes fear. It helps to have been lovers long enough that words are no longer necessary to persuade.
So we sat and held hands – and giggled from time to time when we saw the funny side of things (yes, the rest of the ward probably did think we were crazy – perhaps we were, but joy also is a powerful antidote to fear.) A few days later our crisis had passed and we were given the all-clear to go home. But the next time I found myself back in there (a few days later at the bedside of another friend who was sick, disoriented and wide-eyed with fear) I found that my perspective had changed. I had no doubt what to say: you are going to come through this, I know it doesn't feel like it, I know you are afraid but it's going to be okay. Before I had been there I would have been reluctant to make promises I couldn't keep. Now I know that you don't just monitor the heart, you speak to it. You tell it peace, be calm. Everything will be alright in the end.

JCal Pro, one of the best-known Joomla extensions and a Top Ten winner in Joomlashack's Ultimate Top Ten Joomla Extensions survey, has a new release that is worthy of great attention from the Joomlaverse.
JCal Pro is the rare Joomla 1.5 extension that is taking huge leaps forward while maintaining excellent support.
And oh yeah- after years of asking, the most requested feature in the history of the JCal Pro series is about to be released!
Victor Drover, project lead for JCal Pro, tells Joomlashack that the upcoming JCal Pro version 2.2 will be the final stable release in the Version 2 series, and will complete the feature set for JCal for the forseeable future, (presumably until Joomla 1.6 comes along.) Victor tells us:
The JCP codebase is finally in good enough shape that new features can finally be added. We're very happy to have succeeded in making event management much easier in the backend.
JCP2.2 will be the best version by far, and is an excellent transition into JCP3 which will be re-written from the ground up.
The many new features already released in the current Series 2 version are too numerous to fit here, and if you haven't checked out this vastly improved Joomla extension, we urge you to grab a subscription and try it out.
Wondering what the final 2.2 release will include? Victor tells his Twitter audience that integration with JomSocial and Community Builder, two leading social networking Joomla components, is imminent, as is spam protection and management. Premium users may see some new themes as well as a new events module.
And finally, Joomlashack got an inside scoop tonight direct from Victor, who tells us that the final Series 2 version will "likely" include the much awaited, greatly anticipated support for iCal, "the most requested feature EVER."
We use JCal Pro over at Simplweb and are thrilled to tell y'all about this excellent and vital Joomla component. Give it a try today!

Never underestimate the creative side of a drone — well, a drone paired with a really good photographer.
Take this picture, for example. Photographer Kirk Hille captured this amazing photo, titled "Surge," at Lucky Bay in the Cape La Grand National Park, Australia.
The photo captured the grand prize in SkyPixel's competition, which involved more than 10,000 entries from 146 countries. Ken Geiger, Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer and a SkyPixel competition judge, said "Surge" offered "a unique viewpoint, lovely color and composition" and "made an emotional connection with me, making me wish to be part of the scene."
Hille's photo was captured using a DJI Phantom 3 Pro. (For insight into using this kind of drone, check out MNN's review of the DJI Phantom Vision+.) For more surprises, keep scrolling:
First prize for Professional Beauty: 'Populus in the Fall'
Photographer Hanbing Wang won first prize in the Professional Beauty category for his photo of fall poplar trees in the Yuli Country of Xinjiang Uyghur, China.
Third Prize for Dronie: 'Drone Selfie with my Wife'
Photographer Toning Joe doesn't provide much detail about where this image is taken, but the setting and contrasting colors couldn't be more perfect.
Second prize for Beauty: 'Texas Thunderhead'
Darin Kuntz captured this dramatic thunderstorm as it loomed over Lubbock, Texas in April 2015.
First Prize for Enthusiast Beauty: 'The Eye'
Amateur drone pilot Maksim Tarasov captured this beautiful shot of a hole drilled in a lake by a fisherman. He aptly named it 'The Eye.'
Third prize for Professional Beauty: 'In a Drift'
Karlo Matuguinas captured this shot of what appears to be a yacht performing a drift at sea.
Third prize for Enthusiast Beauty: 'Hot Air Balloon'
Photographer Glen Orsak had the good fortune of capturing this beautiful shot of a hot air balloon. "The sun's shadow points to the landing spot," he writes in the entry.

A video of bubbles freezing at -15 Celsius by Warsaw-based photographer Pablo Zaluska. The video was inspired by a conversation with his 3-year-old daughter after trying to explain to her why she needed to wear a warm jacket on a blistering cold day stating that "It is so cold that even soap bubbles freeze and it looks really beautiful."
I saw a sparkle in her eyes so I promised to make a film to show her that. She was so excited about this idea that of course she forgot that she didn't want to put her jacket on. It wasn't easy to capture those bubbles because only around 5-10% of them didn't break instantly and as you can imagine it was a challenge to be patient at -15 Celsius. But it was worth it because now that my daughter has seen it, winter is magic for her.+

Chapter 407 – Unyielding Until the End
Qin Chao was shockingly talented. Within this younger generation, he could be considered a well known person as well. If he didn't lose himself to feminine charms and put in more work while cultivating, his current strength would would be far greater.
In reality, there wasn't a single ordinary descendant within the Immortal Mountain. Moreover, his family background was definitely not simple, as he was the great-great-grandson of some great figure. His lineage was noble, and his hidden potential was extremely great.
For the sake of increasing his experiences and chasing after Lady Qianqian, he left his region and came here. From what he had heard, this was a barbaric ancient region that was not elegant and completely lacked talented individuals. He looked down on this region inwardly.
He originally thought that he was simply berating a native from this region to get lost from Lady Qianqian's side, yet he ended up incurring a vicious beating to the mouth, completely humiliating himself.
Qin Chao came from the Immortal Mountain, so normally, even the talented disciples of other great sects would all try to be on friendly terms with him and initiate discussions. They definitely wouldn't offend him. However, someone from the wasteland region he looked down on actually humiliated him like this.
He slapped him in the face. Even in the Immortal Mountain, his parents never did such a thing. During these past few days, he almost burst from rage. He was constantly thinking of ways to get revenge.
However, what could he do? The last time he brought people over, the youth had already left, leaving him fuming with fury with nowhere to vent it. Now that he saw Shi Hao again, he naturally clenched his teeth. His eyes were so chilly that they were about to freeze.
"Are you going to run again?" Qin Chao coldly spoke. With his clan's experts here, he naturally had no need to fear anyone. He had a type of confidence. With the Immortal Mountain's people here, who dared to defy them? Even if it were the Heaven Mending Sect and Western Sect, they would feel a lot of restraining fear. They wouldn't be willing to create conflict.
This place was extremely quiet. Many cultivators were watching without speaking, and even the cultivators from outside this region were silent. They didn't dare provoke the Immortal Mountain, for who wanted to make the Immortal Mountain their enemy.
A few people felt like it was a pity. This was an originally astonishing youth with unlimited potential. If he was to break in the Immortal Mountain's hands, then it would be too regretful.
Shi Hao gave him a cold look with eyes that were full of contempt. This was just a slight glance, and afterwards, he no longer paid him any attention. He did not feel any need to talk to him.
This kind of attitude and gaze was clearly being displayed, and everyone could see this. They all trembled inwardly. This youth ignored the prince of the Immortal Mountain, so wasn't this a silent contempt and provocation towards their clan?
You have to understand that from a certain perspective, the Immortal Mountain was even more terrifying than the Heaven Mending Sect because they had many descendants as disciples. The Heaven Mending Sect was spread across multiple regions, so it was impossible for them to personally demand an explanation for everything. Meanwhile, the Immortal Mountain's numbers were few and precious, so if they were humiliated, they would definitely go out to deal with the enemy.
Qin Chao's gaze immediately became cold. He felt humiliated. What kind of attitude was that? He was being completely ignored in front of so many people! This was just like a slap to the face.
Shi Hao not paying any attention didn't mean that the Big Red Bird wasn't going to. He shot the purple-haired youth a look of contempt and said, "Last time, your face was beaten up so badly that it was almost unrecognizable, yet you still have the nerve to come back to provoke us? Back then, who was it that ran away with their tail tucked between their legs? Does your face itch again so you want to get beaten up?"
Hitting his sore spot and not letting it go; the big red bird fulfilled both of these. It allowed many people's pent up anger to subside a bit, making them rather happy.
Many people disliked Qin Chao, but they could only feel anger and not speak up. Someone actually dared to beat and ridicule him, allowing many people to feel as if they've ingested some ginseng. All of the pores in their bodies felt like they were relaxed.
"You two really are good!" Qin Chao shouted. His face was fuming with rage. He was humiliated in front of so many people, making him want to skin Shi Hao and the big red bird alive.
"Of course we are good. After seeing the fellow that got beat up come back to get beat up again, we feel even better." The big red bird said.
Everyone was shaken. They were completely tearing apart his face here! A great battle was definitely unavoidable. After ridiculing the Immortal Mountain's prince, how could they be forgiven?
Huo Ling'er arrived, and when she saw Shi Hao, she revealed a joyous expression. However, when she thought about how he was going to face his opponents, she then felt worry. An ancient sect like the Immortal Mountain would leave even the Fire Nation feeling oppressed.
At this moment, the nine-headed lion walked over while radiating golden light. There was a type of grandeur to its figure as it watched everyone. It was going to fight at Shi Hao's side.
Lady Qianqian, one of the mysterious region's ten beauties, looked at Shi Hao in amazement with her beautiful eyes. The one she met last time was the little Stone. He unexpectedly didn't escape and instead once again sparked conflict with Qin Chao.
"Elder Shoucheng, suppress them!" Qin Chao's face fell ashen, because he saw that the expression in Lady Qianqian's eyes was aimed at Shi Hao and not himself. Together with humiliation, he also felt a type of anger that was difficult to describe.
"Little friend, don't you think you are going a bit too far by being so overbearing?" Qin Shoucheng from the Immortal Mountain said.
Shi Hao felt another wave of killing intent He already understood that there was a problem here. It was possible for him to have some type of blood relationship with the Immortal Mountain, but Qin Shoucheng still wanted to kill him here. There was definitely something strange going on.
"Could I inquire in what way I've acted excessively? A youngster from your clan doesn't know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is. He is shouting noisily in my direction. I did not bother bickering with him and instead remained silent. How is that being overbearing?!" Shi Hao spoke in a downcast voice.
It was extremely obvious that Immortal Mountain's Qin Chao was the arrogant bully. Shi Hao simply looked at him with contempt and didn't say anything to him.
"What about that bird? Didn't you purposely stir it up to speak nonsense?' Qin Shoucheng spoke with a flat expression.
"Did you see me purposely stir it on?" Shi Hao was forceful like a divine sword, sharp and direct as he shouted in reply. A wave of killing intent flew outwards.
He was unsheathing his sword to threaten the Immortal Mountain! Everyone was shocked. This youth was indeed powerful. He deserved to be called the supreme youth of the wasteland region!
"Old fellow, don't flaunt too much just because of your age and act as if you don't know of neither honor or shame!" The big red bird screeched.
"Younger generation youth, is this an act of becoming enemies with my clan?" Qin Shoucheng's face fell.
"Don't test my patience!" Shi Hao said. His voice clearly showed his discontent.
At this moment, everyone felt like they finally witnessed a strong person. This was a fearless and undisguised threat towards the Immortal Mountain.
"He actually reached the king level? He was able to reach the Formation Arrangement Realm?!" At first, people thought that he used the 'domain' of his physical power to deal with his opponents. Now, they were thoroughly shocked.
If he really reached the Formation Arrangement Realm, just how shocking would this be? A fifteen year old king; just the thought alone was shocking and crazy! From the ancient times until now, how many people accomplished such a thing at this age?!
This was a monster, a monster that continuously created miracles!
Many people became stirred up, especially those of the wasteland region. Once Shi Hao grew up, just how heaven defying would he ultimately become?
"Elder Shoucheng, what else is there that needs to be said? Kill him!" Qin Chao said with a cold voice. He knew that his elder had a great killing formation on him that could definitely kill his opponent.
"You are too unreasonable!" Shi Hao took action, forming a faint golden light before slapping over. At this moment, no one could easily block it.
It was because this was the Kun Peng's movement technique, so it was fast to the extreme. Even the middle-aged man with the broken arm and Qin Shoucheng could only watch helplessly without much chance of blocking it.
With a pa sound, half of Qin Chao's face was broken, and his entire body flew outwards. Bright red blood splashed outwards, drawing a streak through the sky.
Everyone was completely dumbstruck. This was a descendant that a great figure greatly doted on. If he was informed, there would definitely be a great disaster that could not be settled!
Taking a step back, the ancient inheritance wouldn't allow anyone to treat a disciple that was under the Immortal Mountain's direct line of descent this way.
The situation did not end here. The instant Qin Chao was struck, Shi Hao moved through the void, and with a stamp, he stepped on the other party's body. With a kacha sound, his meridians were destroyed, crippling him.
"If I leave you with your cultivation, who knows just how many more people will suffer from your bullying, so today, it will be broken! However, seeing as how we still have some kind of connection, I will leave you with your life!" Shi Hao said.
No one knew what the so-called relationship he said meant. Only Qin Shoucheng's eyebrows jumped, as he felt a bit uncomfortable.
However, soon after, Qin Shoucheng surged with killing intent. There was actually someone who dared to defy the Immortal Mountain like this, crippling a core disciple of theirs. This was a serious provocation!
Qin Chao fell in the courtyard, tumbling backwards. He knew that he had been crippled, and his cultivation was completely gone. Quite a few of his blood vessels immediately dried up. His face revealed an expression of dismay.
This place was in a state of uproar. Everyone was shocked at Shi Hao's forcefulness and directness!
"Not fearing the Immortal Mountain, is he trying to defy the heavens?"
"This wasteland region's supreme youth is really something. Not just anyone could have this kind of bravery."
Even the creatures from outside this race were startled and scared. Many experts asked themselves whether they would provoke the Immortal Mountain, and all of their answers were 'no'. However, the one before their eyes was just a youth, yet he was so courageous.
As for who was the most happy, it was naturally Lady Qianqian. She had always been annoyed by Qin Chao and had been pestered beyond endurance. However, she had no way of getting rid of him. Right now, she was finally at peace.
However, she soon felt pity for Shi Hao. How could anything good come from crippling Qin Chao? She clearly understood the methods of the great figure behind him.
"You…" The middle-aged man with the broken arm was furious and pointed out with a finger, shouting, "By ruining my clan's direct descendant, are you trying to make the Immortal Mountain your enemy?"
Shi Hao seemed extremely indifferent and said, "I've even killed the supreme expert of the Heaven Mending Sect, let alone some idiot from the Immortal Mountain that doesn't know how big the world is. Even if I kill him, so what?!"
His aggressiveness made quite a few youngsters' blood boil.
The Immortal Mountain's middle-aged man became speechless. He had also heard the rumor that Shi Hao killed Grandma Xihua in the Void God Realm, that he was an extremely daring person!
Everyone was roused up. Shi Hao truly had this kind of oppressive style. Back then, he dared to challenge the Heaven Mending Sect, and right now, the Immortal Mountain was treating him similarly, so why wouldn't he dare?
Outside the stage, fairy Yue Chan's face was extremely unnatural. If we were to talk about who was the most upset outside of the Immortal Mountain, then it would naturally be her. An old scar was opened up again without good cause.
Qin Shoucheng's face became completely overcast. "You might have a connection with my clan, so today, I won't act excessively either. If you admit your mistakes here, hand yourself over, and return with me to the Immortal Mountain, I will consider treating you leniently."
"Have you woken up? If you dare to speak rudely again, then all of you will become powerless!" Shi Hao laughed coldly. From the little guy to the devilish brat to the present, he had continuously grew, but had he ever bowed and bent his knees to another? The Heaven Mending Sect was already after him, so what did it matter if Immortal Mountain was added to the mix?
If there really was a type of relationship between himself and the Immortal Mountain, he wanted to see for himself just how the clan was going to deal with him.

The newest resident on Sesame Street is a character with autism. Julia, a cheery 4-year-old with bright orange hair and green eyes, is the newest muppet to join the show's cast in a decade.
Julia, who made her debut April 10 during Autism Awareness Month, is curious and loves to sing songs. She's also distracted easily and sensitive to touch. She flaps her hands when she gets upset. But, on the show, Julia is always "one of the gang," as Sesame Street hopes to promote understanding and awareness of autism.
Credit: Zach Hyman
Parents and children were first introduced to Julia more than a year ago when she made her debut online and in print, followed by companion pieces on an app, as the centerpiece of an initiative by Sesame Workshop called Sesame Street and Autism: See Amazing in All Children. Julia was a hit with families, and the initiative has generated more than 1.6 million page views and more than 30,000 app downloads to date.
"The response from the autism community to See Amazing in all Children has been extraordinary, and we are committed to continuing our efforts to promote understanding and acceptance of autism, as part of our mission of helping all children grow smarter, stronger and kinder," said Sherrie Westin, executive vice president of Global Impact and Philanthropy, Sesame Workshop.
One in 68 American children is diagnosed with autism, and nearly every family is affected in some way, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In creating See Amazing in All Children, Sesame Workshop has worked for more than five years in consultation with over 250 organizations and experts within the autism community to address an increasingly prevalent condition.
Among the many creators and contributors behind the initiative are Stacey Gordon, who performs the role of Julia, and Christine Ferraro, the writer of the "Meet Julia" episode. Both women have close family relationships that helped them bring this character to life in a compelling, meaningful way.
Along with Julia's television debut, the Sesame Workshop – the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street – announced the release of additional resources designed to serve autistic children and their families.
New digital videos, books and e-books add to the See Amazing library, with the collection available in both English and Spanish. "For years, families of children with autism have asked us to address the is- sue. We heard a call to use our expertise and characters to build a bridge between the autism and neurotypical communities," said Dr. Jeanette Betancourt, senior vice president of U.S. Social Impact, Sesame Workshop. "So many partners, advisors and organizations have contributed to the success of this initiative, and we are thrilled to have the benefit of this collaboration as we launch this latest chapter."
Resources for families and children, including a "Meet Julia" Sesame Street segment, are available at www. sesamestreet.org/autism. The Sesame Street episode featuring Julia's debut will be available free to watch on the HBO Kids YouTube channel.

Work is underway on an £8m project to transform four schools in the borough of Merton, Greater London.
The project will see the construction of a new designed-for-purpose sixth form block at Rutlish School, Merton Park; Ricards Lodge High School, Wimbledon; Bishopsford Art College School, Morden and Raynes Park High School, Raynes Park.
The new blocks will attract local students to stay in the borough rather than travelling miles to sixth form facilities in other boroughs. The communities will also benefit from potential retention of future income by providing a locally sustainable economy, through an educated and trained, locally based, skilled work force.
Expert consultants from Trench Farrow, the project management arm of WYG, are leading the project on behalf of the London Borough of Merton. WYG is also providing architecture, cost management, engineering and other specialist services.
Jonathan Skelton, Regional Director, WYG Management Services said: "Our specialist and creative consultants work with clients to identify, define and deliver innovative solutions. For this project we are managing design and construction of four large sixth form blocks, each consisting of two-storey bespoke modular systems.
"Each block is between 1000m2 and 1600m2 in size. All four projects are on site simultaneously, at different stages; two sites already have modules in place, third and fourth due in mid March and April" he added.
Overall completion is due in July, less than 16 months after the project was commissioned, which is a phenomenal achievement, given the complexity of dialogue with stakeholders and the construction supply logistics involved. Trench Farrow has worked extremely hard in engaging all parties with the process to ensure the smooth running of the project.

I was first introduced to the Babyliss Curl Secret when my hair stylist used one to add curls to my hair before a wedding in October. Impressed with the results, I knew I had to get one, having previously struggled with curling irons. Or rather, struggled not to burn my hand with them!
The instructions advise to only use the Curl Secret on clean and dry hair that is free of styling products; though it doesn't specify whether this includes heat protection sprays. It also notes that the styler shouldn't be used on long hair below bust level. So avoid a push-up bra if you want to get away with extra length! I kid.
The device is intended to be used in a specific orientation, with the open part of the curler pointed towards your head. Once the hair is inserted and the handles closed, your hair will be drawn into the ceramic curl chamber. It beeps four times to indicate that it's time to release the handles to remove the freshly curled hair. With two temperature settings, you can better avoid damaging colour-treated hair too.
I was initially a bit apprehensive having heard tales of people getting their hair stuck, but if it happens, the device quickly beeps to alert you and stops winding it in. I found that by separating each 3cm wide strand of hair away from my head, it minimises tangles. This mainly seemed to happen when the top of the Curl Secret wasn't properly angled towards my head, so practise makes perfect. It wasn't as heavy as I imagined either, so you can totally curl your own hair. Though if a friend happens to be there, you can also treat them to a glam hair makeover too!
Tip: Fully release the handles before pulling the hair out. This will prevent hair damage and also maintain the curl while the hair is still warm. Avoid brushing it too until cooled down. The built-in ionic conditioning system will also help minimise frizz – result!
For a longer lasting curl, you can twist it back up and hold in place with duckbill clips until cooled. When you've teased your hair into the desired position, use a strong hold hairspray. Both of which are sold separately.
The package comes with a mat which is very useful when waiting for the device to heat up or when separating the next hair strand to curl. There's also a bag that's heat resistant on the inside, so the device can be stored away while still hot.
In short - I was completely amazed by the Babyliss Curl Secret! In minutes I was able to create gorgeous waves. It was just as effortless as I'd hoped and with 3 timer settings for different looks (loose waves, medium and tight curls). I know I'm going to be getting a LOT of use out of this. Simply thrilled. It only misses a full five stars because of the potential tangle factor, but hopefully Babyliss will perfect this in a future model.

Haiku : Silence
the sea so silent
where have all the glories gone?
the wave-breakers smile
the bees stop buzzing
the last tree kisses the ground
home, sweet home is gone

The sea... the sea, that noisy silence that brings remembrances of the creation of life!ReplyDelete
Nobody knows its mysteries, except and wave-breakers, that is why they smiles secretively!
Only a long kiss from the trees can stop bees from buzzing, sadly because home, sweet home, is gone.
Beautiful! Lastingly sweet. Thank you, BB!!!Replies
The sea had lost its right. The wave-breakers are the aliens. They had won, thus they smile secretively and sarcastically!Delete
Poor sea! I miss their songs. :(
Yes, you're right! The bees were once in the loving care of the trees but alas! they don't kiss the bees anymore. Poor bees! Where have all the kisses gone to but the ground. :(
Thank you so much for this little discussion, Od. You read my lines and I'm happy to say, I love your comments! :))
another interesting haiku! have a good weekend!ReplyDeleteReplies
Your words will boost me to write more. Thanks so much, Ric. :)Delete
A few days back one of our neighbors cut two trees on their land which had been standing for many years. It made me very sad. At times I used to look out of the window and just the sight of those beautiful trees would make me so happy. Now they are gone. I feel as if a significant part of my life has left me.ReplyDelete
If I were to describe this situation, your haiku would fit in perfectly. I don't understand why people are so cruel to nature when everything that they have is because of nature. :(Replies
So sad! Can't imagine the once wonderful view had gone. I understand how you feel. I hope people know what they do.Delete
Thank you for thinking of this Haiku to fit in the situation.
Aww. This is a sad Haiku. I don't like when people cut down trees. I'm a nature freak so I get really upset...I wish we wouldn't have to use so much trees for our needs. My garden used to be full of trees, but some of them are cut down and instead it is replaced to an ugly short building, yeah, it wasn't my family. Shame.. Thanks for sharing :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
I have the same feeling, Dana. The real jungle is now replaced with concrete. Pity the animals without a place called home.Delete
Thank you, Dana, for sharing and commenting. :)

Special schooling, describes an academic different that focuses on the educating of scholars with educational, behavioral, well being, or bodily wants that can't sufficiently be met utilizing conventional educational packages or methods.

Talk with the varsity directors, lecturers and your child's trainer to assist design the best choices on your little one.
Self-contained classroom: Some college students might make extra progress in a classroom that's only for college students receiving special training services. Throughout pupil educating, they achieve expertise in preparing lesson plans and educating students in a classroom setting, below the supervision and steering of a mentor teacher.
A special schooling trainer and a basic education teacher share equal duty for teaching the class. And do not forget that many of those resources are available to your little one in a common schooling classroom. Pupil to trainer ratios are kept low, often 6:1 or decrease relying upon the needs of the kids.
Most special training teachers work in public faculties, instructing students at the preschool, elementary, center, and highschool level. Although special training is a comparatively new idea, students with disabilities have been current in each period and society.

I'm frustrated I couldn't find a picture of the coin type discussed by Psoma in this chapter.
adventures in my head
I'm frustrated I couldn't find a picture of the coin type discussed by Psoma in this chapter.
All of the below nonsense is me trying to get my eye into spearheads to decide what I think (again) about the amphora/spearhead currency bar. I'm worried about the notches in the blade of Vecchi 20, one in a private collection, one in Copenhagen. If you know of any other notched spearheads from the ancient Mediterranean. I so far have located none and that is concerning…
Details of specimens of RRC 83/2:
(same specimen different sale)
RRC 83/1a:
HN Italy 379
HN Italy 45:
Lesbos, 4th Cent. (another specimen)
I'm interested in Papius' Pairs. This is one of my favorites.
This coin type rather complicates the 'deformed foot' explanation (cf. another specimen).
Roman Republican Sicily! Panormus? (a different specimen)
Mylasa, Caria. Note form of spearhead on obverse:
OCRE entries. Documentation of my earlier obsession with falcatae.
Someone should have told Gerald Cotten that Quadriga was not the best thing to name his currency… Or maybe, he's laughing at all his customers from the great beyond …
I'm really really into the aesthetics of the coins of Abacaenum. The frontal to 3/4 profile faces are so beautiful and varied!
Is it Sol? Helios? Apollo as sun god? Or some one else completely different. The catalogues like to identify it as female (often a nymph). That's not what I see.
I'm also concerned that the sow and piglet might not include a sow. Where are the teats?

Dead/Alive Fish Hat
Hello. Earlier this summer, my friend asked me to knit something for a silent auction this fall. I started the Fish Hat by Thelma Egberts. This hat was so much fun and was a fast project. Here are some pictures of the progress:
It still needs eyes but I will figure that out later. (Of course I will post an updated picture as well). I hope the hat sells fast and makes a lot of money for the silent auction! As for us, we are still extremely busy enjoying summer. Two weekends ago, we were able to spend time with all the Father's in our lives. It was so nice to visit with them for the day and enjoy each others company. This past weekend we were able to visit with our friends in Rogers to celebrate Big C's graduation. We are so very proud of her and excited for her next journey in life. C and Nolan have become very close and here our just a few pictures of them over the years.
Sunday, June 2, 2013
Weekends are so precious especially during the summer here in Wisconsin. Playing outside, running around in the cool summer evenings takes me back to my youth. I use to love to run around being silly and just taking in the outdoors. Now with a son of my own, I love to have him outside and just acting like a kid. This weekend I helped a friend find some girl clothes for her new arrival Ms. Evelyn.
We also had another soccer game for the bear.

I use Firefox as my browser. I have upgraded it to the latest version and now, my English will be spell checked for me in a real time fashion. The thing I probably will like best is, that a word like "localising" is now seen as correctly spelled. This is because Firefox allows me my British English. Blogger, although nice expects people to use American English spelling. This is useless when I were to blog in any other language.
Another thing that is nice is, that it allows me to accept words that are correct in the texts that I write; WiktionaryZ is such a word .. and so are MediaWiki, Wikimedia and Wikipedia.
By having spell checking done client side, the server functionality becomes cheaper for the service provider as well. The quality goes up.. all in all a good reason to upgrade to the latest Firefox.

A Selection of other Screenshots
The following selection of screenshots highlights some of the most interesting features of our time management software.
Controlling TimePanic when minimized
When TimePanic is minimized to the notification area (also known as the system tray), you can still start your favorite tasks using the context menu of the tray icon. The screenshot to the left shows TimePanic in a state where the Development task is running and where the user is about to switch to the Department Meeting task (which is unlikely to be one of his real favorite tasks).
Changing formats
The format used to output your working times on the screen or in reports can be customized with this carefully designed dialog. Many people like the decimal format (e.g. 5.75 h), which is no problem for TimePanic. By the way, the formats of date and time can also be configured.
Calculating overtime
Calculating your overtime? A piece of cake for TimePanic users! Switch to the year view and select any number of days or months. The properties dialog calculates your overtime for the selected days or months, based on your planned working hours, your public holidays and your leave days.
Report wizard
The options tab of the report wizard has some inconspicuous but clever options for optimizing your reports. Lets have a closer look at the fifth one, which is always used in conjunction with the forth one: When it is activated, all tasks without a project assigned are left out from the report, but their working times are not. Instead, they are distributed among the other tasks according to their percentage of the total duration. This option is useful if you want to avoid reports that give rise to questions about working times that are difficult to account for.
Sample report
TimePanic allows its user to create all sorts of reports. This is an example of a clear and concise summary of the working week.
Quality of working time
This is a sophisticated feature for advanced users: TimePanic can measure the quality of your working time according to Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister. Read more about it in the user's guide if you want to increase your personal productivity.
Use of colors to display overtime
One of TimePanics coolest features: In this year view, overtime days are painted in shades of red (darker shades indicate more overtime). Undertime days are painted in shades of green (darker shades indicated more undertime). The more the color approaches white, the closer a day approaches the planned working time.
Custom flags
TimePanic comes with a set of custom flags that can be freely named and that are used to indicate the status of activities or days. The screenshot shows one of the two activity flags in the day view.
Automatic initial task after start-up
You can configure TimePanic to automatically start every working day with one of your favorite tasks. I remember someone saying that reading e-mails is an ineffective way to start your working day. If I recall correctly, I read this in an e-mail early in the morning.
Display of current working time
When TimePanic is minimized to the Windows task bar, your current working time is displayed in the task bar icon - excluding your non-chargeable tasks, of course.
When minimized to the Windows notification area (system tray), your current working time and your current task are displayed in the tooltip of the tray icon (the tiny yellow window).
Search and filter functions
This filter dialog is available both for searching and for creating reports. For example, if you want to narrow a report down to two of the three projects you are currently working on, then this is your tool.
Let TimePanic put you back in control of your working and private life. Download our free 30 day evaluation version for yourself, and see what the software can do for you.

Koostik iPhone Stereo Dock Uses Zero Electricity (Video)
Image via Koostik
If you're looking for an iPhone speaker dock that is energy efficient, you'll be hard pressed to find something that uses less than the Koostik. It uses zero. Made entirely of solid wood, it amplifies the sound coming from the iPhone's built-in speaker, giving you louder music without needing to plug anything in. Koostik states that there's some types of music that works better than others.
KOOSTIK is not intended as a replacement to electronic amplifiers in all situations. If you're into Heavy Metal at high volume or heavy sub base sounds, KOOSTIK may not be your cup of tea. But if you like intimate vocals and instrumentals in relaxed settings, KOOSTIK will blow you away (gently of course).
It certainly uses fewer materials and a simpler manufacturing process than the Phonofone we saw back in 2007.
While it comes in a few different types of wood -- walnut, cherry and birdseye maple -- there's no mention as to whether or not these are FSC woods sustainably sourced.

Basement Underpinning Toronto, ON
If you live in an older home and you find that the ceiling height in your basement is too low, you could lower the floor in one of two ways. One method is called the curb system where you don't actually underpin the foundation walls but you add a concrete curb at the base of the foundation walls after you have excavated the depth that your require. Excavation is usually in 4 ft sections. Concrete curbs are usually done if you are not planning to lower your basement by more that 30 cm or 12 inches. The reason for this is that for every 7 inches you go down you will have to project out 10 inches from the foundation wall. Example, if you go down 14 inches you will have a curb projection of 20 inches into your basement. The only way you could achieve a ratio of 1:1, that is 7 inches down and 7 inches out, would be to hire a Geological Engineer to determine if your soil would be solid enough to withstand the weight of the house. You would then submit their report to the city when you apply for a building permit.
If you need help with any of these processes, Contact our Toronto Basement Renovation Contractor.
Things To Consider When Underpinning The Basement
There are a few items you will have to consider when you are planning on lowering your basement floor.
- Should you change your furnace and furnace location?
- If you don't change your furnace you should have your furnace lowered to the new height of basement floor.
- Same with the Hot water heater. Should you upgrade to a tankless or change existing one.
- If you live in an older home you should consider having your sewer drains replaced with 4 in. PVC drain pipe.
- If you are in the Toronto area you would be required to install a sump pump in the basement.
- Have weeping tiles installed around the perimeter of the basement walls which would discharge into the sump.
- If your sewer drain leading out from the basement is too high for the depth you want to excavate to, you could have the city do a new connection from the outside of the house or you could install a sewage injector.
- You would be required to install a backwater valve where the sewer drain exit the basement.
- You would have to install a new set of Stairs and hand rail.
- You might want to consider installing Radiant Heating in the new basement floor.
- Help is as close as www.finishedbasementsscto.com

Excavation Process
After you have had a structural engineer draw up a set of plans for underpinning your basement, and you submit your plans for approval from the city, you are now ready to proceed with the actual underpinning process.
Your basement walls will be marked off in 4 ft sections numbered 1, 2 and 3 to determine the different stages of the process and at the end of number 3 the stages will reoccur.
The excavation will begin but it must be done on a 45 degree angle of repose, or for every 7 inches you excavate 10 inches of dirt must be left against the foundation walls. The reason for excavating at the angle of repose is the pressure from the house does not actually go straight down, but is applies on a 45 degree angle that is why the dirt at the base of the foundation wall has to be wider as you excavate lower. At the bottom of your excavation point the dirt will now be wider than at the original height of the concrete floor. Never and I stress Never allow anyone to ever excavate straight down, or your house will collapse or you will have major structural problems. If you follow these rules you should not have a problem.
Basement Underpinning Process
After the initial excavation of the interior of the basement leaving the angle of repose, the process of actually underpinning the foundation walls will begin. Always remember never excavate into the angle of repose until you are ready to underpin that section.
There are two methods of underpinning: Under pouring and over pouring.
Underpinning with Radiant heating Preparation
With the under pouring method the concrete is poured flush with front face of the existing foundations wall but is vibrated and under poured by at least 2 inches. After the concrete has cured at least 24 hrs , a non-shrink grout is dry packed into the cavity flush with the underside of the existing foundation footing.
The over pouring method is done with the new concrete projecting at least 3-1/2 inches out from the existing foundation wall and is over poured and vibrated to at least 4 inches above the existing foundation footings. There is no non-shrink dry pack involved.
Whichever method you use the excavation of the cavity is the same.
- All Number 1's are done at the same time. The dirt have to be excavated to the outside edge of the foundation footings and straight down to the new dirt level and only in 4 ft wide sections or smaller. You will want to go an extra 4 ins lower to accommodate for the 4 in weeping tiles. The cavity should be square and plumb and the underside of the footings should be cleaned of all debris. Make sure you do not excavate lower than needed because the new footings should be resting on undisturbed soil.
- When all the number 1's are excavated and inspected the forming for the new concrete will be done and the pouring of the concrete will commence.
- Make sure that the concrete is well vibrated as the concrete is being poured, weather you use the over pouring or under pouring method. The strength of the concrete should be 20 MPa. The non-shrink grout at 35 MPa.
- After all the number 1's are poured, wait 24 hrs to remove the forming for over pouring method or 3 days or 70% cured for under pouring method, and proceed with the excavation of all the number 2's, and repeat the same process as the number 1's.
- Proceed in like manner with the number 3's.
- All is complete , clean up and finish leveling the dirt floor.
- Install the Delta Wrap membrane from the new dirt level to about one foot above the underpinning joint.
This is the process used to underpin the foundation walls of your basement. Make sure that you have all aspects of the Basement Underpinning process inspected by the city inspector. Have a structural engineer do your plans for the Basement Underpinning.

I share your concerns [this was very heart felt] as well as other things that was presented in this ordinance, that is why I decided to Abstain from voting on this amendment. There are some laws that talks modestly about breast feeding rules, per se; nevertheless, Balance is essential! I often ask questions, not just for myself, but to hopefully empower the citizens in our city to also begin to make a stand for their rights to inquire, hold their elected officials accountable and to demand that their local government are open, transparent and fair. Eventhough it is not always easy to make the right decisions on everything, it is easy to listen and consider the opinions and facts from the citizens. I have often asked the council members to not be so quick to vote on every issue, but to take some time and get together and discuss future decision, but to no avail.This is what I have always tried to stand up against, but in voting, I am only one vote and 3 is the majority to pass anything in this city that the city manager John Parker and others in his 'political' network, want to happen.I am tired of the political attacks on people, businesses, etc and I feel that the war should focus on that area and not to bring others into it who will suffer or get isolated involuntarily! Too much tax payers dollars are being spent on lawsuits, because our government do not know how to communicate, rationalize, reason and mediate on issues, but they want to attack. This should not be!I know first hand of how our city government treat people with discrimination [being partially disable myself and having undergone so many attacks from them] and fight against those who are not in their "network." I will continue to make a stand for what is right, vote against or abstain on issues I feel is not all inclusive and I will continue trying to build open and transparency in our local government. They want me out, but I will maintain my standards until my term is over!I pray that the governing body will revised their decision on this amendment>Keep our city government in your prayers!Your comments are very valuable...Blessings,Council Karen-Brandee WilliamsWard 2
So there you have it.... there is someone on the council who is not for this new law. She might be the person to contact with your concerns.... as she might be more likely to convey our messages. If you would like to contact her, here is her email address: email@example.com.
Now I would like to address a comment that was written in regards to yesterday's Forest Park post. A woman decided to speak her mind. Now I am all for people speaking their mind, but I also feel you should be held accountable for such comments, but she decided to remain anonymous. Here is her comment:
All the complainers are not even from this city in Ga and they have no say so in the laws or town ordinances there. If the residents of that city are upset they should respond to this law or ordinance. I am not from GA and I am a woman and mother. I agree with this town, a 2 year old is not on demand feeding and doesn't have to be breast fed in public. I have no problem with breast feeding anywhere, but this law or ordinance sounds fine to me. Furthermore, if this father is so upset he could talk to his town or city where he lives to make sure his child no matter how old can always breast feed whenever he needs to, not in a city/town/state he doesn't even live in.I would like to address the first line. We are NOT complainers. We are supports and we will stand up when something is wrong, no matter where we live. We do not have to live in the same city or even the same state to stand up for what is right. Supporting what you believe in does not make you a complainer. When something you believe in (such as breastfeeding) is under "attack", it is only human nature to defend it. Does not matter if it effects you or strangers. Take for example victims of Hurricane Charley, Hurricane Katrina, the Tsunamis and all of the other natural disasters that have struck strangers and friends alike. How many people stood up to help out complete strangers? How many people sent money, items, and their time to people in need? No, I am not comparing a breastfeeding law to a Natural Disaster...... I am simply comparing the need to help a stranger. Where would all of those people be (who were affected) if no one choose to help them? (Being a victim of Hurricane Charley.... I saw this first hand as it destroyed my home town.) People need to feel that they are not alone.... that there are other people willing to help and give SUPPORT.
Now I would like to comment about a two year old not feeding on demand. You are correct about that. But there are instances where you can not avoid this. For example.... what if the two year old (or older) is out with her family in the evening (let's say at a public event) and it is their time to nurse. Would you rather listen to the child cry? It is not fair for the family to have to leave the event just because their two year old needs to nurse and it is illegal. What if the child gets injured? In most cases the only way to calm a breastfed child is to nurse them. Would you let the child cry in pain, just because they are out in public and it is illegal to nurse there? Would you, as a parent let your child cry, knowing you could sooth them but won't due to fears of being arrested? I am sorry.... but my children come first. If I can comfort them, you better believe I will comfort them.
What we need to do is think about the children...... most people forget the little ones. They are so involved with themselves and what they don't want to see... that they forget the bigger picture. It is not like the mother will be nursing for hours. With a toddler or older, they only nurse for minutes and then they are done. The person who makes a big deal about a woman nursing in public is the one making the scene....not the nursing child and mother. We just sit peacefully somewhere...... how is that a big deal?

Telstra will be bringing the Samsung Galaxy Note II to Australia's largest 4G-enabled network
Posted on November 15, 2012
2 min read
You've probably read the rumours and speculation over the past few weeks… when is the Samsung Galaxy Note II released in Australia?
19 December update: We're pleased to confirm that we will be offering the Samsung Galaxy Note II 4G in-store on Boxing Day (26 December).
The grey Galaxy Note II will be available in all Telstra-owned stories and participating licensed and dealer stores from 26 December (stock limitations may apply). For online availability please register your interest here and we'll email you as soon as the Galaxy Note II 4G goes on sale online.
The original Samsung Galaxy Note seemed like a bit of an odd device to some when it first launched. More than a phone, almost a tablet… everyone began using the word 'phablet' to describe it. It has a pretty dedicated following given that it's such a unique device, which is probably why so many of you have been excited about the pending release of the Galaxy Note II in Australia.
Well, we can now confirm that Telstra are bringing the Samsung Galaxy Note II to Australia's largest 4G-enabled network early next year. This will bring the number of 4G devices available to Telstra customers to 20.
Of course, if you've been waiting for the Samsung Galaxy Note II for a while now, you're probably waiting for us to announce details of pricing and a release date. We'll be announcing prices, online pre-order information and in-store availability closer to launch. In the meantime, I'd recommend signing up at our Keep Me Informed page – we'll send you an email the very instant we have more info to share.
If you've been using a Samsung Galaxy Note, why do you reckon it's superior to other phones out there?

This part of the brain is responsible for a number of functions including motor skills such as balance, coordination, and posture. Location of the Cerebellum The cerebellum is the largest structure of the hindbrain and can be found in the back portion of the skull below the temporal and occipital lobes and behind the brainstem. When looking at the brain, the cerebellum looks much like a smaller structure separate from the brain, found beneath the hemispheres of the cerebral cortex. The cerebellum consists of a cortex covering white matter, as well as a ventricle filled with fluid. It is also divided into two hemispheres like the cerebral cortex. The cerebellum makes up just 10% of the total volume of the brain, yet it contains more than half of the brain's neurons. Function of the Cerebellum The cerebellum plays an important role in motor control, the coordination of motor movements and balance, among other things. There are several key functions of the cerebellum. Coordinating the Body's Voluntary Movements Movement is a complex process that requires a number of different muscles groups working together. Consider how many muscles groups are involved in the process of walking, running or throwing a ball. While the cerebellum is not thought to initiate movement, this part of the brain helps organize all of the actions of the muscle groups involved in a particular movement to ensure that the body is able to produce a fluid, coordinated movement. Balance and Posture In order to understand the important role that the cerebellum plays, it can be helpful to look at what happens when the function of this part of the brain is impaired. Drinking alcohol, for example, has an immediate effect on the cerebellum and leads to disruptions in the body's coordination and movements. People who are severely intoxicated might find that they cannot even walk in a straight line or touch their own nose when asked. Motor Learning When you learn to perform a new skill such as riding a bike or hitting a baseball, you often go through a trial-and-error process. As you fine-tune your motor movements, you eventually become better able to perform the skill and eventually you can perform the action seamlessly. The cerebellum plays a critical role in this motor learning process. A Guide to the Anatomy of the Brain Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Ever wonder what your personality type means?

text: In over-all proportions and in some details of internal structure the chimpanzee-for example-is actually quite similar to man, but in certain aspects of spinal structure the bear seems a better fit. Bears had the added advantage of being cheaper and more plentiful than chimpanzees. Hogs, of course, are the most plentiful of all, at least among the large animals, and in addition have their points of resemblance to the human body. They are also the most edible, but allegations are only in jest that they are used by the Aeromedical Field Laboratory because they make good barbecue material. If sacrificed during or after a test, hogs are upon occasion presented to different units at Holloman, including the Aeromedical Field Laboratory itself, for use in group picnics, but this is only incidental to their primary research function.29

For detailed requirements, please refer to Psychotherapy Written Case Policy and Procedure [PDF; 139 KB] under Examinations of the 2012 Fellowship Program regulations, policies and procedures. See also: Results, timetables and fee information For enquiries, contact firstname.lastname@example.com. Format The Psychotherapy Written Case is a summative assessment of the RANZCP Fellowship Program. It should be successfully completed by 60 months FTE training and it is assessed at the standard expected at the end of Stage 3. The assessment involves providing psychotherapy under supervision, using therapy informed by psychodynamic principles, for at least 40 sessions. The psychotherapy should last for 6–12 months, with at least one session weekly. Candidates must then submit an 8000–10,000-word case report detailing their assessment and subsequent psychological management of the person. The case report is the component that is assessed. Submission The Psychotherapy Written Case may be submitted on four occasions per year. Refer to the exam timetable for dates and details. The submission form is below. Formative case discussions During the therapy process, trainees must participate in three formative psychotherapy case discussions with their psychotherapy supervisor to encourage reflection on treatment progress and to provide opportunities to receive qualitative feedback. Psychotherapy case discussions should occur during the early, middle and late phases of the psychotherapy and should focus on pivotal points or milestones in the therapy process or on treatment dilemmas and/or emerging issues. Note: case discussions are in addition to the regular supervision sessions trainees should have with their psychotherapy supervisor. For each case discussion, the psychotherapy supervisor will complete the Psychotherapy case discussion form with the trainee. Trainees must submit the three completed forms with their written case report.
