I woke up this morning bright eyed and bushy tailed (well, that's a lie…that never really happens, but I try) ready to head to morning BodyPump class.
I made sure to check the schedule I keep posted on my fridge last night before going to bed and had everything ready so I could head out for the 8:30am class…or so I thought.
I got to the gym promptly at 8:00am, since we're supposed to sign up for classes 30 minutes in advance, but when I asked the woman at the desk to sign up for pump, she looked at me a little funny?
Woman: "Aren't you a little early, hun?" (<—which, FYI, I can't stand when people call me "hun")
Me: "Isn't the class at 8:30? I checked my schedule?"
Woman: "Oh hunny (AHHH!!), you must have an old schedule. Pump doesn't start until 9:15 on Thursdays now."
I knew I should have picked up another schedule recently!!!
So since I now had an extra hour and 15 minutes to spare, I took my time getting ready in the locker room, then headed up for some cardio. I did a mish mash of work on the treadmill:
- 20 mins HIIT (20 seconds @ 9.0mph / 40 seconds @ 4.5mph)
- 10 mins walking @ 4.0mph with an incline of 10%
- 10 mins jogging @ 6.5mph
- 5 mins cool down
So in actuality, my extreme promptness worked out pretty well, and I got an awesome workout today. Hey, I'll take it. Early bird gets the extra cardio!
The only downside to my early bird actions? I was 45 minutes later than planned, so I'm sure you can imagine that I was ravenous by the time I got home. My little Clif Z Bar pre-workout only held me over until about halfway through BodyPump, then the tummy grumbles started.
So I came home and quickly toasted an Arnold's Sandwich Thin, and topped it with some pumpkin + PB + banana.
I love adding the pumpkin with my peanut butter because it really doesn't change the taste all that much, it gives more "bulk" to the toast itself, AND I'm squeezing in extra veggies. It's a win-win(-win)!
I also had to make a quick pit-stop on the way home for some coffee, which was then turned into my favorite hot cocoa coffee once I got home. Yummmmm.
Now I've gotta run and go get ready because I have a special "Girls Day" planned with my favorite ladies today!
*Just a reminder – in case you feel so inclined to give me your vote!*
Question for the Day:
What was the last time/scheduling "oops" that you made?

Hundreds of inmates at a federal jail in New York City have been held without power or electricity for over a week as temperatures plunged to record lows, The New York Times reports.
Inmates at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn have been banging on surfaces in protest of the conditions they have had to endure for over a week. On Sunday, electricity to the jail was finally restored after an outage but the heating system, which is unrelated to the electrical failure, is still not fully functioning.
The jail has been placed on partial lockdown. The facility holds roughly 1,600 inmates.
Family members of some inmates gathered outside of the jail Sunday.
"They're freezing in there," former inmate Vincent McCrudden told The Times. "They're stuck with their cellies. So it's nice — it's incredible — for them to know people are out there."
The electricity and heat went out on January 27 after an electrical fire. That was just days before temperatures plunged to 2 degrees outside last week.
NY Gov calls for civil rights investigation:
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo called for the Department of Justice to investigate whether inmates' rights were violated at the jail. The facility is a federal jail so the state has no jurisdiction over it.
"No one in New York should live in fear that they may freeze to death alone in the dark," Cuomo said in a statement. "These allegations are a violation of human decency and dignity. They also raise questions of potential violations of law."
Lawsuit filed over 'inhumane' conditions:
A federal lawsuit filed by the Federal Defenders of New York accuses the Federal Bureau of Prison's and the jail warden of violating inmates' constitutional rights, NBC News reported.
The lawsuit calls the conditions at the facility "inhumane" and a "humanitarian crisis."
"For example, one BOP attorney represented to a Federal Defenders attorney on two separate occasions that he was 'informed that the power outage did not impact the heating in the institutions' ... however, the power outage following the fire had a significant impact on MDC's heating system," the suit says.
The suit also says that the jail failed to provide medical services and legal visits to inmates during the outage.
"The Defendants' deprivation of MDC detainees' constitutional rights has caused and is causing irreparable harm to the Federal Defenders and its clients," the suit says.

About Ken Adams
KA Fashions was founded by Ken Adams and his wife, Grace Wangombe. Ken and Grace are both immigrants from Africa: Ken from Sierra Leone, and Grace from Kenya.
Ken's story begins during the Sierra Leone civil war, which lasted from 1991 to 2002. The effect of the war on the country was devastating. In addition to casualties upwards of 70,000 people, many found their education and means of living severely disrupted or brought to a halt. About 2.5 million people were displaced. Despite the war and its effects, Ken held on to his dream of being an entrepreneur. After high school, he started a business called V-Mart Trading. The business involved sale of clothing, general merchandise, and electronics. V-Mart Trading became modestly successful, further motivating Ken to pursue his dream of being a businessman. Ken's father was quite impressed with his young son's ambition and independence, but was unable to adequately support Ken due to unfavorable family dynamics surrounding his father's polygamous marriage.
Nevertheless, Ken's business expanded, eventually enabling him to travel throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia, where he'd buy clothes, fabric, and other merchandise in bulk and supply them to retailers. Unfortunately, the war was unrelenting and creating serious security concerns. Ken had been contemplating leaving the country as many of his family members and friends had, but the thought of losing his business caused him to waver on this decision. Ken reluctantly began exploring immigration possibilities. He eventually decided to seek asylum in the U.S. and was able to make the big move in 2003.
As Sierra Leone was going through its civil war, Kenya was under the rule of dictator Daniel Arap Moi, who had been in power since 1978. The country was undergoing a "brain drain" as a result of Moi's dictatorship, which was characterized by massive poverty, joblessness, extrajudicial killings, torture of political dissidents, and an overall feeling of hopelessness for the majority of Kenyans. The only people who had any future in Kenya were those who had connections to people of influence.
Grace had no such luck. She was the child of a civil servant and a schoolteacher. Grace dreamed of better; she had big ambitions even as a little girl. She wanted to get a good job and then start a business which would not only afford her financial freedom, but also make life better for her family. In fact, she dreamed of being so successful that she would be able to use her resources to help ease poverty in Kenya. She was also outraged by the neglect and damage of natural resources by the Moi regime.
Grace found a kindred spirit in the Nobel Peace Prize winner Environmentalist Wangare Mathai, who was often imprisoned and subjected to police violence for being vocal in her criticism of the government's handling of the environment in Kenya. Facing the prospect of joining the millions of college graduates with no hope of employment, Grace left Kenyatta University to seek a better future in the U.S. and applied for a Green Card at the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi. She knew this was a long shot, since the number of applicants far surpassed the available opportunities. To her disbelief, Grace was granted a Green Card and immigrated to the U.S.
Ken and Grace separately faced the challenges that many immigrants face: culture shock, lack of family support, and a sudden change of career paths. As advised by other immigrants, Ken and Grace found themselves joining the medical field, which they were told provided job security. Ken took a caregiving job at a Skilled Nursing Facility in Sacramento, California. Ken's intention was to work and save up money to start a business. He was determined to not let his dream of being a businessman die. He quickly found out that he could not save any money with his meager earnings as a caregiver. He took a second job, then a third, often working 20-hour days. Grace enrolled in Nursing School in Boston, MA and relocated to Sacramento, California soon after graduating.
As fate would have it, these two dreamers met in Sacramento, California. They met at work, and there was an instant connection. Their experiences and their dreams were quite similar. They were married within a few months of dating.
Ken started Adams Discount Apparel, the predecessor to KA Fashions, while working as a caregiver. He bought medical uniforms (scrubs) from China and Bangladesh in bulk and sold them to co-workers. Ken designed the scrubs himself and sent the sketches to the manufacturers. Grace saw that Ken had a talent not just in business, but in designing. She suggested that Ken start creating his own designs of regular apparel instead of just scrubs. That was the birth of KA Fashions.
From his previous travels to India, Ken got the idea of designing cashmere products. He and Grace decided to change the business focus to a different target market: luxury. Ken found a small, family-run cashmere production company in Nepal whose products were entirely hand-made. Ken was also attracted to how this company handled the cashmere goats. The cashmere goats (Changra) that this company got their cashmere wool from were free-roaming in their natural environment and not kept in overcrowded enclosures. This was especially important for Grace, since environmental preservation is close to her heart. Ken named his cashmere product line "Allure Cashmere."
Ken created KAFashions.com to bring his apparel to more people around the world. This e-commerce site carries both Ken Adams' own Allure Cashmere line, as well as other high-end designers such as Michael Kors, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Givenchy, Versace, and Love Moschino.

A special treat just for you on this Halloween!!
The Shy Professor's Sexy Halloween Surprise!
Josh Harris is all dad all the time. A busy college professor and devoted single father, Josh tries to be happy with only his son for company. But then Bradley "Trex" Trexler moves in across the street with his stepbrother, Bogo, and takes advantage of their empty home, making it into a haunted house for Halloween.
Josh's son, Ernie, can't wait to go, so Josh dresses up like a movie cowboy and saunters over. It'll be the best Halloween of Ernie's life, but there's another sharpshooter roaming the dark corridors, and this one might have a special treat for Josh….
Second Edition
First Edition published by Etopia Press in Halloween Heat (IV anthology), October 2012.
A voice drawled, "I'm not sure there's room for two gunslingers in this town."
Josh slowly raised his head. Doc Holliday, aka Trex, stood at the other end of the hall. Black hat, dark three-piece suit, a gun at his side, and a delicate handkerchief tinged with blood that was the clue to the character—Holliday had died of TB. The western garb fit perfectly on that tall, athletic body. The real Holliday never looked so good. Josh wanted to drool.
Josh smiled, but Trex didn't break character, his gaze resting steady and dangerous on Josh's face. Okay, two could play. Josh scowled like a man who gazed into the sun all day and chewed the stump of cigar in his mouth. He rested a hand on his toy six-shooter. "You want to try me?" The words were out. What did I just say?
Trex/Holliday sauntered toward him, spurs jingling. He came face-to-face with Josh and cracked a hint of a smile. "Show me what you got."
He'd called his bluff. "Uh, oh, I…."
Trex reached up and slowly took the unlit stogy from Josh's teeth. He slipped a hand around Josh's neck and—holy crap!—he pressed a hot mouth over Josh's lips with a hint of warm tongue. Their hats bumped and Josh's fell backward. He grabbed
for it, their teeth knocked together, their noses squashed, and Trex pulled back, laughing. "I guess we know that cowboys didn't spontaneously seduce each other. Too much shit to get in the way."
Josh knew his eyes were wide, and he was having trouble keeping his breath even. "Doing a little cowboy experimentation, are we?" He reached down, grabbed his hat from the floor, and put it back on.
Trex waved a hand down Josh's body. "Hey, you come in oozing cowboy charisma, you gotta expect some admiration."

Once you have accepted something as truth, it is no longer science.
Science has told us that many things are true ... And then said - oops, that was a mistake, this is not the truth.
But, that is the way real science is, you are always learning, always questioning. Sometimes, things that "everyone knows to be true" have to be thrown out.
However, when politicians put their hands in your pocket ... bad science can get very expensive ... it might even kill you.
The Environment
|Global Warming
|Chicken Little says - "The sky is falling" ... I say "Let's have some facts"
|Once thought to make bird shells too thin - but is now considered safe
|The poison in Agent Orange and all white paper (think Coffee Filter, News Paper, ...)
|Hole in the ozone ... not!
|Human behavior (cutting trees, building cities, using cars) has caused the highest extinction rate ever. The main problem with this is that there is no way to know how many new species are created every year. Diversity may be actually increasing, but there is no way to know.
Dietary Bunk
|First they say "Salt is bad for you", now you can eat all you want
|Dietary Fiber
|Apparently, there never were any studies connecting fiber to reduced cancer risk
|Eggs and Milk
|In the 1960's, eggs and milk were part of a healthy diet, now, they will kill you
|Apparently, bacteria, not Cholesterol, causes heart disease
|Low fat diet
|Butter vs Margarine
|In the 1960's, butter was bad for you ... so margarine was created. In the 2000's, margarine contains "trans" fats, so now it is worse than butter.
Pseudo Science
|Almost all of us have had to suffer through this psycho-babble test - Daily horoscopes are more useful
|"We are all descended from apes"
That's not really what evolution says, a more correct statement is
"Apes and humans are both descended from a common, now extinct, life form"
|Age of the Universe
|The current theory claims that the universe expanded at several million times the speed of light ... but now nothing can go that fast
|I was taught that the redshift of the galaxies was due to the Doppler effect. The latest theory says that it is actually because the expanding universe stretches the light traveling through it.

The time of year when families gather for reunions, dinners and parties also means the funniest family function around. Peter Fogel arrives in Boston for two weeks only, December 9 to December 20, 2015 in Steve Solomon's "My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish & I'm Home for the Holidays!," playing at the historic Regent Theatre in Arlington, MA.
Presented by Philip Roger Roy and Dana Matthow, the comedy chaos continues in this critically acclaimed sequel to Steve Solomon's original, three-time award-winning hit, "My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish & I'm in Therapy."
Directed by Andrew Rogow, this hilarious one-man show follows Steve's struggles to get home for the holidays. While trapped in the airport, Steve (played by Peter Fogel) goes through the hilarious craziness of dealing with the bureaucracy and the challenges in handling hysterical phone calls from his family
In a wonderfully funny performance, Fogel tackles the holidays, his adolescence, mixed marriage, ex-wives, dogs, cats, dieting and dozens of other uproarious and endless relatable situations each performed with dialects and wacky sound effects that only add to the hilarity of each story.
And then there's the holiday dinner at Grandma's where, if you're under 55, you still sit at the children's table, and 35 over-fed people compete for one bathroom (with no plunger!)

Mark calendar: 2012 Southwest Ag Summit is March 7-8Mark calendar: 2012 Southwest Ag Summit is March 7-8
The 2012 Southwest Ag Summit will be held March 7-8 in Yuma, Ariz.The Summit provides two packed days of educational experiences targeting agricultural professionals, industry representatives, and educators.The keynote speaker will be Mike McCarty, Helena Chemical president and chief executive officer.
October 28, 2011
From just a single day in 2007, the Southwest Ag Summit has grown into two packed days of educational experiences targeting agricultural professionals, industry representatives, and educators.
The 2012 event will be held March 7-8 at the Yuma Agricultural Center, Pivot Point Conference Center, and the Yuma Quartermaster Depot State Historic Park, located in the heart of the Yuma Crossing National Historic Landmark, in Yuma, Ariz.
The growth is perhaps not surprising considering that the venue is at the center of some of the most diverse and productive agricultural land in the world with 1.2 million acres of irrigated fields located within 120 miles of Yuma.
Agriculture in Yuma County is a $3.2 billion industry; more than a third of the total annual production for the state.
The location also puts the Southwest Ag Summit - hosted by the Yuma Fresh Vegetable Association (YFVA) and supported by the University of Arizona and the Yuma County Farm Bureau - square in the middle of its target audience in Arizona, New Mexico, Southern California, and northern Mexico.
"Our vision has been to create an event that will bring knowledge and innovation of agriculture to the desert regions as well as offer a venue that is conducive to relationship building and networking within our industry," said Mark Ellsworth, YFVA President.
Pest and disease management, desert alfalfa production, fresh produce safety, immigration-regulation, cotton production, and agricultural business management are just a few of the scheduled session topics.
A complete schedule of events and description of breakout sessions will be available online at www.swagsummit.com.
Ellsworth said, "We are excited to announce the keynote speaker for 2012 will be Mike McCarty, Helena Chemical president and chief executive officer."
McCarty has been Helena's president and CEO since 1996 and serves as Vice Chairman of CropLife America, Inc.
The summit also includes a hands-on field demonstration, a trade show featuring a wide variety of suppliers and equipment makers, a golf tournament, and an outdoor 'Harvest Dinner' to showcase locally grown products in the historic setting of the Quartermaster Depot.
The 'Harvest Dinner' will be a celebration of local agriculture and the essential partnerships with other agricultural communities.

All of us, no matter where we're from or what we look like, want the same thing — to provide for our families and build a better future. We know if we allow ourselves to be divided, we will lose important protections and make it easier for employers to cut our wages, our benefits, or even our jobs.
Visit your SEIU local's website today and become a member of SEIU.
I believe that hard work should earn people a decent life – no matter who you are or where you're from. But the truth is that even though we are a people who value equality, many women and people of color still earn less for their work.
Through our unions we're improving things for everyone, which is why women and people of color in unions don't just make more than our non-union counterparts, but everyone in a union is more likely to earn the same wage for the same work. We are rejecting the idea that wages are a zero sum game and we're making gains for all families.
For me, this is personal. I know what it's like to work long hours and still not have enough for the basics. But when I finally got a union job, it changed everything. Because of our strength in numbers, we've been able to negotiate for good pay and benefits. I earn the same as my coworkers with similar seniority, regardless of race or gender. For the first time in my life my hard work means I can take my kids to the doctor and get them Christmas presents. That's what being in a union means to me.

"We saw so much on the tours. The reason is that the staff and the local tour guides were miles above our expectations. All of them were so knowledgeable and eager to share that information with us." – Mary Lou and Ken I., TCS World Travel Guests
Educational Vacations With
TCS World Travel
At TCS World Travel, one of the things that sets our all-inclusive journeys apart is our emphasis on educational travel experiences. Our group jet expeditions are designed to be educational vacations that provide you with a deeper understanding of unique destinations around the globe. We believe that through the experiences of learning about each destination, our guests ultimately make deeper connections with the people, places and cultures they encounter on their trip.
Each of our itineraries has a unique enrichment program, which we develop and curate based on the destinations you will visit and the key experiences you will have in each one. Discover the ways that we work to make our group jet expeditions not only immersive but also enriching—before, during and even after your trip.
Knowledgeable Experts
One of the key elements of a TCS World travel jet expedition is the addition of knowledgeable experts to our expedition teams. We invite our experts from world-renowned academic and cultural organizations to join you on your educational trip and enrich your experience in each destination. Throughout the journey, they will offer real-time insights into history, culture, nature and daily life.
Our TCS experts come from a wide variety of backgrounds, ranging from history and science to art, architecture and diplomacy. As we develop the enrichment program for each expedition, we carefully select the experts based on their areas of expertise and the unique perspectives they can bring to the destinations in the itinerary. Get to know some of the renowned experts who have joined TCS World Travel's educational trips:
David Keeling
David Keeling is the Distinguished Professor of Cultural Geography in the Department of Earth, Environmental, and Atmospheric Sciences at Western Kentucky University. He has written many articles and books on Argentina, and on Latin America generally. His research interests include geopolitics, the geography of transportation, and environmental change.

Learn Before You Go
For those eager to start their educational travel adventures early, we provide learning opportunities before your trip to help you feel engaged and excited about what's in store. In addition to the logistical information that we provide you before departure, we also put together a curated collection of articles and videos inspired by the destinations in the itinerary. This enriching content is intended to give you a taste of the history, cultures and landscapes you will experience on your trip. If you're interested in learning even more, we also partner with a local bookstore to create a recommended reading list for your expedition. Here you'll find book suggestions based on each destination that you can purchase and read before your trip.
Learn in the Air
Our expeditions are designed to help you make the most of every moment, and that includes the time in between destinations. For this reason, we provide opportunities for enrichment while you travel aboard the private jets. Our experts accompany you on the plane and give insightful presentations to enhance your in-flight experience. By providing rich historical and cultural context for your next destination before you arrive, our experts will help you to get more out of your educational travel adventures on the ground. Enjoy the use of an iPad and noise-cancelling headphones on board the jet, with access to a connected presentation system that makes it easy for you to follow along with the speaker's presentation from the comfort of your seat.
The iPads we provide on the jets also come pre-loaded with in-flight entertainment, which include a variety of enriching options that you can peruse at your leisure. Choose from a selection of documentaries, movies and articles, where you can find additional information about the incredible places you'll be visiting on your trip and why we have selected them to be part of your itinerary.
Learn in Each Destination
On the ground, our activity options always include a variety of educational tours to immerse you more fully in the places you are experiencing. For instance, on your expedition you might delve into ancient Peruvian weaving traditions during a demonstration from a master Andean weaver. You might head out on a walking safari through the Serengeti with an expert naturalist to learn about animal tracks and medicinal plant use. Or you might join a professional nature photographer for a sunrise photography class, honing your photo skills as you capture incredible images of Easter Island's majestic moai. These are just a few examples, but we always curate our activity options to enrich and deepen your understanding of the wildlife, cultural treasures and natural wonders you will encounter.
Our 30 years of experience operating private jet expeditions has allowed us to develop an extensive global network. Our contacts in more than 150 countries help us to provide the best possible travel experiences in each destination. This includes working with exceptional local guides, who bring our educational tours to life with their unique insights. These local experts live in the community and can connect you more deeply to the culture. Most of our activities take place in an intimate, small-group setting with no more than 6 to 12 guests, ensuring that you'll get plenty of opportunities to interact with your guides and ask any questions you might have along the way.
Learn When You Return Home
We believe that the power of learning through travel can continue long after you get back from a trip. In the spirit of ongoing learning and exploration, we have launched the TCS Discovery Series, where we invite TCS experts to share their rich knowledge and experiences during live virtual events. From the comfort of your couch, join our past guests, travel advisors and close friends for informative and engaging conversations on topics ranging from the mysteries of the world's lost cities to the fascinating underwater world of the polar deep. You can also visit our Discovery Series page to watch recorded sessions and catch up on past events.

Almost everyone in the Canadian peace movement will hear about Red Dawn, and almost everyone in the movement should go see the movie. It is an important film to see and talk about with friends and neighbours, for it offers us one of Ronald Reagan's favourite fantasies. And since the acting is good and the action fast-paced, we get to see in fairly fully realized fashion how some right-wing American movie-makers think a 'limited nuclear war' might go.
The story is charming. Three small-town, middle-American teenagers drive their 4×4 to school one Monday morning, hamming it up about the football team's loss that weekend. Then, during their history class, red dawn: invading Soviet-bloc paratroopers drop from the skies. It is World War III.
But, although atomic weapons have been used by the Soviets to "knock out all our key silos," the nuclear exchange is limited (for reasons never made clear in the movie.) By movie magic, the 'day after,' which we know will happen after any such use of atomic weapons, vanishes. Accordingly, this movie does not show us the unimaginable vaporization of millions of men, women and children, followed by the uncountable slower and more painful deaths of the survivors as society falls apart, and 'nuclear winter' sets in.
Instead, the three high school boys and some of their friends dash up to the countryside, becoming "freedom fighters." As American guerillas, they manage to frustrate and humiliate the Red invaders, until after several months, the technologically superior professionals overwhelm the young patriots. But, as the closing scene shows us, the Americans eventually win WW III, putting up a monument to the teenage partisans.
Of course, the overall charm of the movie is marred here and there. For example, Canadians (who know how closely our fate is tied to the United States) will be surprised that our country is only mentioned in passing; as part of the route taken by Soviet forces into the States. And again, those who realise how deeply the U.S. government is involved in the undeclared invasion of Nicaragua will smile at the irony of the Nicaraguans being part of the Soviet-bloc forces invading middle America. Still, such warts do not really hurt the movie's essential appeal.
Basically Red Dawn is the rightwing answer to The Day After. It shows us that the next world war is winnable, if we have the courage to put up with the level of personal pain and social disorder experienced the last time around. Since we all know that this is a truly impossible dream, the well-publicized and wellmade Red Dawn provides us with a wonderful opportunity to show people the real perils that face us. World War III will set in motion tens of thousands of nuclear weapons, beginning a nightmare from which none of us will awake. Teenage freedom fighters will not save us or themselves. What will save us — and them — is what has saved us all for four decades; the continuous efforls of the world-wide peace movement.
Let's tell our friends and neighbours what's wrong with Red Dawn, the idea of 'limited nuclear war,' and the fundamental weakness of defending ourselves with weapons that destroy us.

Sometimes the answer to all of your breakfast and snack dilemmas are solved with one easy recipe that involves a dozen eggs, three steps, and a couple of suggestions on how to cook eggs in the oven.
This is one of those times.
This post may contain affiliate links that help keep this content free. [Full Disclosure]
Y'all know I'm all about keeping things simple – especially right now.
I'm looking at feeding family of five
One husband who eats like it's his job and three kids who eat, well, like it's going out of style. And then there's me – who's keeping it keto while trying to keep it sane.
But you don't have to be feeding a family, or follow a keto diet to appreciate how to cook eggs in the oven. That's the beauty of this I hate to call it a recipe but what else am I going to call it thing:)
This one works for everybody. And every diet.
Eggs are a universally healthy, high protein, filling, food, and this recipe is not just low carb and keto – it's also Paleo and Whole30 approved and has zero Weight Watchers points.
And you know what else? Even if you have folks in your house that don't follow any eating plan, they will love these oven eggs!
What You Need To Cook Eggs In The Oven
12 Eggs
Muffin Tin
Nonstick cooking spray or Butter
Salt & pepper
How To Cook Eggs In The Oven
Preheat oven to 350
Grease a regular size muffin tin with spray or butter
Crack your eggs directly into the tin (I used one egg per cup)
Season with salt and pepper if you want to
Bake for 15 minutes – or 13 if you prefer a runny yolk
How Do Baked Eggs Taste?
Amazing. Specifically, like a hard-boiled egg – only better because you didn't have to stand over a pot of boiling water OR peel eggs.
And if you try one of the variations listed below – they taste like a mini omelet.
A Meal Prep Match Made In Heaven (Freezer-Friendly)
In case you're wondering, yes – you can freeze these! Just be sure you use a freezer bag. Reheat them in the microwave wrapped in a napkin or paper towel for about a minute, and you're good to go with a breakfast or high protein snack that will keep you full for hours.
This one is leftover friendly – if you have chopped ham or turkey, or extra bacon or sausage – add it in. You can also add your choice of cheese or some diced onion, bell pepper, tomato, or even zucchini if you have it.
I made the ones featured below with bacon and cheddar.Print

Here's a nice little "Making of Storychangers" video. It's still hard to believe what we got up to last week!

We've got a really interesting and exciting project coming up next week for #storychangerseu. We are working with Ogilvy Brussels and the European Commission to get young people engaged with the European election possibly leading them to cast a vote. (It's more interesting than it sounds) Our friends at Wouter and Thijs at Volstok have made a film with a cliff-hanger ending for the Storychangers.eu website, you can go to the site and suggest your own ending for the film, then it'll be up to us to animate it. The challenge is for us to produce forty different endings to the film over four days for the 6th to the 9th of May. The Volstok boys in Ghent and Joost Lieuwma in Utrecht will also be making twenty endings each. The studio will be fitted out with web-cams for the week so you will also be able to log on and see your endings being animated "live". Thankfully the live feed will not have sound so you will not be able to hear our agonised howls and Richard swearing like a docker. We will each have to produce just over three endings each per day, that works out as three hours per film from design to storyboard/animatic to animation to compositing, this is a very, very, very tight schedule. We made two endings each this past week trying to stick to the three hour per film schedule and it's shown us just how tough this will be and it's got our directors Layla, Rok and Alasdair+Jock quaking in their boots. It should be a very creative and tiring few days…… However…. we love a challenge! Bring it on Europe!

How many people have actually gotten health care coverage under Obamacare? It is hard to say. The Administration said 8 million enrolled but we don't know how many of those paid their premium. Also the Administration has not released numbers in over two months, so they must be embarrassing or they would be crowing. This article makes an informed calculation that the number is less than 4 million: Obamacare Exchanges Are 'Disappointing' With Fewer Than 4 Million Newly Insured. The Government Hoped for 26 Million.
No doubt some people who needed health insurance are now covered under Obamacare. Those probably most benefiting are the middle-class people with pre-existing conditions. There have no doubt been winners and losers under the program.
One thing I have not seen discussed anywhere is that those who previously did not have health insurance did not, not have health care. Among the working poor, having insurance may not make them any better off. I have worked with low-income people in one way or the other most of my adult life. In my experience, few low income people go without health care. If they earn too much for Teencare, there is a safety net. They often are served at a United Community Health Service facility for their primary care such as the Vanderbilt Clinic at Vine Hill. These programs have a sliding fee program making care affordable. Here is what the Vine Hill clinic says about their program:
There is also a program called "Bridges to Care" that is much better than Obamacare. I have encountered several people using this program. I know someone who has had heart problems and various other health issues and has had all of her health care cost paid for under this program.
Also, the emergency room is a source of care for people with no insurance. Part of the logic of Obamacare is that reliance on the emergency room by the uninsured is driving up health care cost. No doubt that is true. But I predict that we will see little decline in emergency room use unless some disincentives are put in place to discourage emergency room use. Those who now rely on the emergency room for non-emergency care could use a health clinic now, instead of the emergency room. I was around when TennCare was an expansive health care program, not just Medicaid like it is now. Under the old TennCare, the working poor still relied on the emergency room. Part of the reason is that the working poor often work jobs where it is difficult to take off work for a doctors appointment and the emergency room is open 24 hours a day. Part of it may simply be habit.
There are no doubt many admirable hard working responsible working poor people. But there is also a way of thinking that accompanies poverty in our welfare state. Middle class people or the working poor with middle class values would be mortified if they could not make their car payment and a car was repossessed. It is not uncommon to hear something like this from a poor person: "I bought that car, and I hadn't had it six months until the transmission started slipping, so I just stopped making the payments and said, 'you can come get it.'" They say this with pride. They do not view a repossession of a car as a failure.
Not all, and I don't know the percentage, but I know it is a common attitude among the poor that they do not think about debt the same way middle class people do. They do not worry about $50,000 of medical bills. They have no assets and get by day by day. They are not going to go without cable TV to pay a hospital bill.
I don't doubt that many of the people now covered by Obamacare will make sure they maintain their insurance premiums and will be grateful to have health insurance. When it come to the working poor, I am not so sure. Even it they made that first insurance premium payment, if they must choose between a new Titans starter jacket and making that second insurance payment, many of them will choose the new Titans jacket.
The income tax penalty is not going to make a lot of difference either. They just do not think that far ahead. They have never learned delayed gratification. Also, many of them either legitimately don't pay taxes or have learned how to cheat on their taxes so they don't pay taxes. As the penalty increases, no doubt the working poor with middle class values and the middle class will be motivated to comply and avoid the penalty, but not the working poor with lower class values.
Instead of just comparing the number of people who now have insurance who before did not have insurance, I think a better measure of the success of Obamacare is how many people now have health care or much better health care than they did before Obamacare. I bet it is not many. A less comprehensive approach to changing the health care delivery system, could have helped those few.

If you've been looking at the neat new masterpages with SharePoint 2013, and playing around with changing them, you can quite easily see a difference between the two options: Oslo and Seattle. Seattle is what we're used to with SharePoint 2010: left nav and a top nav. Oslo moves the left nav to the top, and removes the top nav all together. Oslo also provides more room for your content by widening the area by moving the left nav.
But what is really different, technically speaking? I compared the two pages and found a little more:
- Oslo uses a different CSS, obviously, oslo.css instead of corev15.css. Also, the CSS link has EnableCssTheming set to true, whereas Seattle doens't state anything.
- Oslo has several accessibility and animation links wrapped with a SPSecurityTrimmedControl, configured to hide the contents from the search crawler. Seattle just has the links listed, no security trimming.
- Oslo has a AuthenticatedUserDiv tag wrapping almost all of the content on the page. This control "Renders a DIV element which has different styles based on whether the current user is authenticated or anonymous" (from MSDN article). This control is configured with an authenticated style set to a CSS class. So when an authenticated user accesses the site, it uses a CSS class, when it's anonymous, no class is specified at all.
- Oslo has several other areas and controls wrapped with SPSecurityTrimmedControl configured to restrict to authenticated users only.
- Oslo has a couple of small areas where CSS class names differ.
- There's the obvious changes with the navigation and header, and previously noted.
- The PlaceHolderTopNavBar content place holder is thrown at the bottom of the page, and is set to be hidden. So that's where that went.
Seeing there are a lot of security trimming around authenticated vs anonymous, I decided to test that out to see what it looks like.
First, let's see what Seattle looks like anonymously:
Interesting, the web parts are intelligent enough to know anonymous users can't "get started" and the newsfeed is gone. Also, some of the ribbon items change. Nothing else too significant.
Next up, Oslo:
Whoa, that's a lot more now isn't it? We lost the ribbon completely, including the SharePoint blue bar at the top. It feels naked.
I compared the HTML output of the two sets of pages as well.
- Seattle didn't differ much, minor items, but nothing too specific to anonymous vs authenticated.
- Oslo, huge differences, entire sections are missing. Those security trimmed sections I mentioned before, poof, gone.
It almost feels like Oslo was designed with anonymous access in mind, as in Microsoft wanted us to use Oslo for public facing sites, as it took care of so much for you already. ;)
Thanks to Sane Amit for asking this question on SharePoint.StackExchange.com, always looking for new post ideas ;)

Cocotte of rainy days – Oeuf cocotte with endives and morbier cheese
La cocotte des jours pluvieux – Oeuf cocotte aux endives et morbier
I made these oeufs cocotte while I was back in France last June, the days were long, day light lasted until 10:30 pm. I love the month of June, it's the longest and the most exciting of all the months where people have not left on vacation yet, unlike July or August when most large Northern cities are empty, everyone goes dans le midi! and we celebrate summer with Music Festival, music bands play all over the country on June 21, the streets are filled with happiness and excitement. June is always so vibrant and colorful with such a special ambiance.
June is over now, and August is around the corner…so it's about time for another oeuf cocotte!
When I feel like eating eggs, most of the time they come in this cocotte form. You break the yolk and you dig further down the little cocotte to find more exciting bites. In France we call those containers cocotte, in this case, it's a mini cocotte.
I used morbier cheese, made with raw milk and has a line of black ashes in the center of the cheese, it has a sweet taste and somehow a creamy texture. Its fabrication has been traced back to 1795 where documents found describe a round cheese from 8 kilos to 10 kilos and called "Petit Morbier". The great news is that you can find Morbier in the US!
The combination of the bitterness of endives and sweetness of Morbier complement each other to perfection. I also used crème allégée, which is a "light" heavy cream with 5% fat. I haven't found anything similar in the US, so just use heavy cream or regular crème fraîche.
Not only oeufs cocotte are delicious but they're fun to eat, so just play with ingredients and have fun! But do not overcook the yolks or they'll be ruined.
Ingredients for 4 cocottes
- 2 shallots, chopped
- 3 small endives, finely sliced crosswise
- 4 tbs crème fraîche, or heavy cream
- 1 tbs olive oil or butter
- 150 g morbier cheese sliced
- 4 eggs
- salt and pepper

Apathy is a state of indifference, characterised by a lack of emotion, motivation or interest. The term comes from a Greek phrase meaning 'without passion'. A person who is experiencing apathy lacks interest in both their own situation and the wider world. He or she may feel a lack of purpose and that life has little meaning.
People with depression commonly feel sad and low. In contrast, a person with apathy shows a lack of emotion, either happy or sad. You may feel that even everyday activities such as walking are not worth the effort. Carers, family members or strangers may feel that the person is being lazy, difficult or uncaring. In fact, apathy is a symptom of Parkinson's, and you cannot voluntarily change the way you feel.

Apathy and Parkinson's
It is important to recognise that apathy is a non-motor symptom of Parkinson's. The exact cause is unclear, but researchers believe that apathy is related to chemical changes that occur in the brain as a result of Parkinson's.
Parkinson's is caused by reduced levels of dopamine in the brain. This neurotransmitter not only regulates movement but also affects motivation and feelings of enjoyment. Without this 'feel-good' chemical, people with Parkinson's are more vulnerable to apathy.
If you have Parkinson's, you may find social contact more difficult because of reduced mobility and communication problems; this may also prompt feelings of apathy. Apathy can also make you disinterested in hobbies and activities you enjoyed before, and also in therapies such as physiotherapy, that help to manage symptoms. This can place a strain on relationships with carers, family and friends as well as with healthcare professionals.
In the past, many professionals believed that apathy and depression were very closely related. However, it is now recognised that people with Parkinson's may experience apathy without being clinically depressed. It is therefore important to scree for both apathy and depression to ensure correct diagnosis, and to avoid prescribing treatment for depression when it is not present.
Diagnosis can be tricky in people with Parkinson's, particularly as people with feelings of apathy tend not to complain – by definition, they do not care about their condition and usually do little to deal with it. As a result, it is often family and carers who act and seek help from a doctor or another health professional.
Your doctor will assess you for apathy by asking about your mood, motivation and other indications. There are several recognised rating scales, such as the Marin Apathy Evaluation Scale and Beck Depression Inventory. The assessment involves questions designed to find out whether you are self-motivated or need to be told what to do, and whether you like to see tasks through or not. Responses are measured using a points system which can help to distinguish apathy from depression.
What treatment is available?
Your doctor may decide to prescribe a traditional antidepressant, or medication that activates dopamine and/or enhances what is called cholinergic function. These treatments are not always effective so the doctor will need to monitor your response.
Don't stop your medication or change the dose suddenly without first talking to your doctor or Parkinson's Disease Nurse Specialist.
The information in this website is not a substitute for advice from your doctor, pharmacist or other healthcare professional.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can be effective in treating depression, but it may not help to overcome feelings of apathy. Individual counselling with an experienced professional can help to develop a strategy to promote a more positive attitude, greater motivation and the pursuit of pleasant activities. It is important to review progress to see if it helps.
If medications are not effective, or if apathy is severe, your doctor may refer you to a psychiatrist, psychologist or psychotherapist to help you feel more motivated and positive. Sometimes it may be useful if your partner or carer is included in consultations.
It may be helpful to combine psychological approaches with medication – they are not mutually exclusive.
Other help
Various groups and organisations such as telephone helplines offer emotional support and/or practical help. Your doctor or social worker will be able to help you identify such organisations, or you may find contact details on the Internet.
How can I help myself?
It is important to remember that apathy is a common symptom of Parkinson's and can be effectively treated. Feelings of indifference and lack of motivation may become a vicious circle if untreated, so it is important that you seek help and accept support that is offered to you, both by professionals and your family and carer.
Below are some suggestions that you may find helpful:
- Educate yourself about Parkinson's, its cause and treatment. Being informed generally helps you to feel more in control.
- Try to take an active role in managing your illness.
- Make information available to your carers so that they understand that apathy is the reason for your apparent lack of interest or emotion. For carers, it will be important to continue with their own activities to avoid becoming dispirited by the person's apathy.
- Be open with your doctor and other healthcare professionals – this will make it easier for them to help you.
- Try to continue with activities you enjoy. If you have stopped most activities, restart them one at a time. Research shows that keeping active can improve your mood and make you feel more positive about yourself.
- Don't take on too much – consider which activities are manageable. Ask your carer to help you plan your time.
- Try to stay relaxed. Complementary therapies such as yoga and Tai Chi may help with this.
- Accept help when you need it.
- Contact your local Parkinson's organisation or other support groups.

San Francisco: The 'Signal' app has 'trolled' Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The Signal app said that the May 15 deadline of WhatsApp privacy is coming to a close very soon, the most accurate example of this being Mark Zuckerberg himself. Actually, the matter of data leakage of crores of Facebook users came to light. Zuckerberg's data was also leaked, which included his phone number. After this, a security researcher revealed that Zuckerberg uses the 'Signal' app.
Why did the signal app troll Zuckerberg?
Facebook is owned by WhatsApp. Last month, WhatsApp was surrounded by criticism of its privacy policy. WhatsApp had told the users under the privacy policy that if this new policy is not accepted then the app will have to be deleted. It was said on behalf of the company that the account of such users will be closed after 8 February. This policy was fiercely opposed. After which the company postponed it till 15 May.
After the introduction of this privacy policy, there were many reactions on social media. Many people said that they will use another app as an alternative to WhatsApp due to this privacy policy. It was during this time that the signal app came into the limelight. It was seen as a rival app of WhatsApp.
What is the case of data leakage?
A case of data leakage of 53.3 million users of social media platform Facebook has come to light. Not only the users but the news of the leak of the data of the company's CEO Mark Zuckerberg has created a sensation. According to media reports, the data leak has revealed that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg uses the Signal app.
In fact, Zuckerberg's phone number is from the leaked data of 53.3 million Facebook users. According to an online report, in addition to Zuckerberg's phone number and Facebook user ID, his name, location, marriage related information and date of birth data have been leaked.
Actually a security researcher revealed that Zuckerberg uses the signal from his leaked phone number. Mark Zuckerberg is using the signal to take care of his own privacy, which provides end-to-end encryption. Security expert Dave Walker posted on Twitter a screenshot of Zuckerberg's leaked phone number, stating, "Mark Zuckerberg is on signal."
Dave Walker has said that since Facebook does not have end-to-end encryption facilities, Mark Zuckerberg is taking care of his own privacy using the signal. Recently the information related to data leaks was posted on digital platform by a hacker. This report has spread sensation after news of personal data of about 53.3 crore Facebook users, including a total of 61 lakh Indians, was leaked online. This news has come at a time when many users, who are upset with the new privacy policy of Facebook-owned WhatsApp, are moving towards an alternative considered as safe.

Pandemic will cause globe $US21 trillion in economic pain
The global economy could lose up to U.S. $21.8 trillion dollars in 2020 alone due to COVID-19, according to new analysis from the Australian National University (ANU).
The research, led by Professor Warwick McKibbin and Roshen Fernando, has modeled six new scenarios of the impact of the coronavirus on the world economy.
The scenarios range from containing COVID-19 in mid-2020 to ongoing waves of the virus over several years. The researchers have also created an online dashboard to display their results.
Professor McKibbin said even under the best case scenario the global economy will lose up to U.S. $14.7 trillion dollars.
"That's a massive hit, and that loss is based on the worst of COVID-19 being over by mid-2020 but with a smaller second wave in 2021," he said. "Our modeling shows that if the virus isn't contained or if we have ongoing waves, the economic losses will climb quite steeply. The more waves we have the more losses we can expect. By our fourth scenario, which sees two waves of COVID-19 in 2020 and another two in 2021, the loss rises to U.S. $21.8 trillion. There is no doubt that COVID-19 is a significant negative shock to the world economy, and our modeling makes that clear."
The researchers also modeled the total loss to the global economy between 2020 and 2025. Under these scenarios, the initial 2020 impact of COVID-19 has an ongoing "ripple effect" over five years due to sustained declines in economic activity.
Under the worst case scenario, which sees four waves of the virus over two years but only lockdowns in the first year, total losses cumulative over five years for the world equal U.S. $35.3 trillion. At best, with COVID-19 largely contained by mid-2020, the cumulative five-year loss to the economy is U.S. $17.5 trillion.
Co-author and Ph.D. researcher Roshen Fernando said Australia should also brace for a major economic hit.
"Under our modeling, Russia, the U.S. and China will feel the biggest impact each losing U.S. $2.8, U.S. $2 and U.S. $1.9 trillion respectively. And that's under the best-case scenario of containing the virus by mid-2020," he said. "In comparison, under the same scenario Australia will lose U.S.$117 billion in 2020. And a worse-case scenario of four waves of COVID-19 over two years will see our economy lose U.S. $172 billion. Either way, those are massive losses for an economy and country the size of Australia."
The modeling shows the cumulative losses to Australia's economy between 2020 and 2025 range from U.S. $151.6 billion to U.S. $306.6 billion.
Professor McKibbin said the impact revealed by their modeling shows the world must work together to overcome the long-term damage of the crisis.
"The current experience with the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed deep problems in existing institutions at the supernational level and within countries." Professor McKibbin said. "While policies need to be designed and implemented at the national level, for most foreseeable problems, there needs to be greater cooperation across countries. COVID-19 shows the folly of isolationist politics and policies when the natural world ignores artificial boundaries."
The analysis is published online by the ANU Centre for Applied Macoeconomic Analysis. It also examines other key economic impacts of COVID-19 including the impact on government spending, wage subsidies and household transfers, country risk assessments and potential mortality and morbidity rates.

Just by looking at the graphics of the human characters, you can probably tell that this is a Match 3 game. But on the other hand, Match 3 games have come a long way from the Candy Crush Saga knockoffs that replace candies with pastries or bubbles or diamonds or what-have-you. That's why Plarium's Family Zoo: The Story offers more than just classic Match 3 gaming – this Android and iOS game also allows you to manage your own zoo and welcome more furry friends to your zoo, as you solve more puzzles and win more tickets and materials. This is the perfect marriage of casual mechanics anyone can pick up and enjoy, and more intensive management mechanics and features. Can you solve all those puzzles and restore the legacy of the zoo?
Yes indeed, you can say that there is now an actual saga to go with the puzzles, but if you want to move forward faster and get closer to rebuilding what you had once lost in the in-game world, you'll want to check out our Family Zoo: The Story tips and tricks below. Keep on reading if you need some help in either main aspect of the game!
1. Focus On Making Boosters
Just like in your average Match 3 game, you shouldn't focus too much on those simple matches of three identical pieces. Sure, they're all well and good if you don't have any other option, but if the opportunity is there, you should match four or more fruit to make yourself a Booster fruit. These are explosive pieces which you can detonate by double-tapping on them, or by matching them with another piece on the board. Plarium likes to keep it simple, and that means your Booster's power will be contingent on the number of fruit that you had matched, so if you created your Booster with six or seven fruits of the same kind, you could wreak a lot of havoc on the boards.
As each level in the game has its share of objectives, you can use Boosters to clear more of them, while also helping you clear a board with less moves. But there's much more to that, as you'll find out in our very next tip.
2. How Does The Crazy Orange Work?
Now when it comes to "rage meters" in mobile games, you will usually see them in fighting games. But Family Zoo: The Story has a "rage meter" of its own, and it has something to do with the Crazy Orange. With each explosion you set off with your Boosters, you'll be charging the rage meter (or insanity meter?) on the bottom right of your screen. Fill that meter up and you can use the Crazy Orange — this is the game's equivalent of a rainbow piece, and if you match it with any type of fruit, you will remove all fruits of that type instantly. It's an interesting twist to an old Match 3 standby, and we can definitely commend Plarium for their relative originality.
3. Take Note Of Your Objectives
As we mentioned above, each of the Match 3 levels you play in this game come with objectives. You will obviously need to read these objectives carefully and keep them in mind as you play, as that could save you a lot of time, but mainly save you a lot of moves, as you don't have any time limits to worry about here, per usual. For example, the game might ask you to match so many fruits of one kind, explode a given number of boosters, or match pieces in order to remove the grass. The objectives will always vary, and you should make sure you're working toward completing them. There's no rush to do so anyway — once again, you don't have time limits, just move limits!
4. Use All Your Lives In One Swoop
Renovating your Family Zoo will require tickets, and that would mean playing the Match 3 levels and completing as many of them as you could if you've got all your lives intact. As the number of tickets required to complete a task goes up progressively, there shouldn't be anything stopping you from completing more Match 3 levels. Use all your lives right away, because when you do run out, you can let them regenerate automatically while tending to your zoo and taking care of managerial matters.
5. The To Do List Contains Your 'Quests'
You know how in RPGs and in many other games, you have "quests" to complete, in order to set you on the right path and guide you there if you ever got lost. Family Zoo: The Story's version of this is the To Do list, as it doubles as a way to keep you up to speed, or to set you right back to the correct track if you got lost at any point. Keep working on the items in this list, and don't worry about prioritizing each task — the main thing should be unlocking Enclosures, which, as you may have gleaned, are very important to anyone trying to rebuild or reclaim a family zoo.
That's all for now folks, as far as our Family Zoo: The Story tips and tricks are concerned. If you have anything to add, be sure to leave us a message in the comments!

A revolution in its own right, the incredible X32 Producer combines the finest analog I/O and powerful digital connectivity with ample processing for 40 channels, 25 buses and up to 152 signal sources. You can easily control every parameter of the mix directly on the X32 Producer using the 800 x 480 graphic UI, but the awesome flexibility of networked remote control literally opens up an amazing world of possibilities. Use the X32-EDIT PC/Mac/Linux application, X32-MIX for iPad, X32-Q for iPhone/iPod touch and X32-Q for Android to control the mix from anywhere in the room. You can even run multiple instances of these powerful apps at the same time, giving your performers the ability to mix their own personal monitors on-the-fly! With its 16 MIDAS-design mic preamps and dual AES50 ports, the X32 Producer can support up to six S16 digital stage boxes for massive I/O connectivity.

Behringer has also included 16 new FX "Plug-Ins" which are based on True Physical Modeling of famous classic audio hardware. This process means that they essentially "rebuilt" classic analog gear in the digital domain. And then they added the most amazing digital networking that allows you to connect to the new Turbosound iQ speakers via simple CAT5 connection. They call it "Acoustic Integration". This high-performance iQ Series also includes authentic acoustic modeling of some of the world's most famous speakers - all remote controllable from your X32 Producer.
Behringer SD16 16-Channel Cat 5 Digital Stage BoxDigital mixing has revolutionized virtually everything in the live- entertainment production workflow.

The best part - all it takes is a single Cat 5e cable per stage box. And If you need more inputs, or just want to keep your cable runs short and tidy, putting an SD16 at stage front and another behind the drum riser gives you an additional 16 inputs for drum and guitar/bass amp mic'ing. When used as part of a complete X32 system, as many as three SD16 Stage Boxes can becascaded via the built-in AES50 ports to provide up to 48 bidirectional inputs and 24 balanced XLR outputs. An onboard ULTRANET distribution hub provides power and 16 channels of audio to 4 BEHRINGER POWERPLAY P16-M personal monitor mixers per SD16, all via inexpensive Cat 5e cabling - and without any additional hardware. Two of the programmable inputs are also compatible with Hi-Z sources, so you can connect keyboards, acoustic and bass guitars, etc., with no DI box required. The SD16 also features a USB port for fast and easy system updates via your PC. Ever since its formation in the 1970s, MIDAS has had a long history of innovation and leadership in the world of audio mixing consoles.

The P16-M's simple user interface makes it easy for evennon-techies to dial-in the perfect monitor mix. For example, let's say the electric guitar is too loud in the lead vocalist's mix; they simply press the appropriate channel button (the one labeled E. GTR) and turn the Volume control to lower the guitar level in their mix. They can also adjust Pan (left to right mix), EQ (Bass, Mid with sweepable Freq control and Treble), and much more. All of these adjustments can be made without affecting anyone else's personal mix. A basic installation consists of one P16-I Input Module, which connects to the main mixing console, and up to six P16-M Personal Mixers, creating a system big enough to equip a typical recording studio, a small to medium-sized band, or a worship team. You'll also need a few standard audio and CAT5 cables. The optional P16- MB mounting bracket allows the P16-M Digital Personal Mixer to be attached to any standard microphone, music or drum stand. The system can easily be expanded via the P16-D Digital ULTRANET Distributor, six
