Climate Risk Management--Technical Assistance Support Project
Supporting countries in preparing for and tackling climate change
While the precise long-term impacts of climate change are difficult to define, one thing is clear: changing climate patterns will have significant impacts on countries and communities, many of which are already facing serious development challenges.
Broad project recommendations for developing countries facing potential climate change:
- Strengthen technical skills, enhance institutions and develop coping mechanisms
- Ensure that the risk management priorities of countries and communities are considered
- Stakeholder-owned, scientifically validated, climate risk analyses provides an evidence base for enhancing CRM programs
- Enhance the climate risk management capacity of national and regional institutions
- Develop the climate risk management capacity of UNDP and UN country offices to assist national and local counterparts
UNDP's Climate Risk Management- Technical Assistance Support Project is working to understand the affects of climate change and predict how this will impact on developing countries.
Specifically, the project is undertaking risk assessments in 17 countries to better understand both near-term climate variability and long-term climate change. These assessments will help define how changing climate patterns are likely to impact on development and other key socio-economic sectors, such as agriculture and healthcare. Implemented simultaneously across a number of countries, the project will inform global practices for managing the risks and impacts associated with unpredictable changes in climatic events, as well as identify solutions and develop in-country capacity to better withstand impacts. Additionally, the regions chosen will be illustrative examples that can be used by development planners for disaster risk mitigation in the future.
Some of the key findings so far:
In Peru the project helped identify the impact of climate change on land use, irrigation and agriculture in the rural regions of Junin and Piura. Farming accounts for about a third of employment in the two regions and supplies staple crops such as spinach and potatoes, as well as cash crops like sugar cane. A report from the project has already warned that regional farmers will face declining harvests as rain becomes less frequent and groundwater from quickly melting glaciers disappears. This could result in reduced agricultural productivity and put livelihoods at risk.
In Uganda, the project looked at the potential impact of climate change on the coffee industry in the Rakai and Kapchorwa districts. In both districts coffee remains the primary cash crop and is thus integral to both the national GDP and the livelihoods of millions of people. The project found that climate variability is already having an impact on crop production and farmers are beginning to employ coping strategies, though without guidance or coordination these may only exacerbate the problem. The project recommended a series of actions to build resilience, including enhanced water and soil management, improved infrastructure for crop harvesting and storage, and better agronomic practices, such as crop diversification.
In Nicaragua, the project assessed the potential impact of climate change on health in the country. A report from the project warns that climate change will alter average temperatures and affect rainfall, nutrition and biodiversity, which may adversely affect health and the provision of healthcare. For instance, gastrointestinal illnesses and mosquito borne diseases such as dengue fever are likely to become more common because of predicted changes to the climate, which may include increased rainfall patterns and flooding, creating pools of stagnant water. At the same time, diminished or altered agricultural output could lead to malnutrition. In response to these findings, and given the fact that few studies look beyond the impact of climate change on the environment to assess cross-sectoral concerns, UNDP recommended a series of efforts to mitigate the impact in Nicaragua. These include efforts to increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand flood controls, promote reforestation, and promote investment in climate monitoring and early warning.
By looking at specific sectors in high risk countries, this project is capturing valuable information on the short, medium and long-term impacts of climate variability and change. With early warning and a strong knowledge base, it has already provided recommendations and solutions to mitigate the possible impacts that are under consideration by partner governments.
Spotlight: Climate Risk Management in Lao PDR
Lao PDR is frequently affected by disasters, including floods, storms, droughts and landslides. In a nation where 80 percent of the population is directly dependent on natural resources for survival, disasters destroy lives and undermine development. And with climate change expected to exacerbate the intensity and severity of disasters in coming years, the country's vulnerability will only increase.
This video explores UNDP's efforts to strengthen Lao PDR's resilience, by helping governments and communities prevent disasters, and mitigate their effects.
The two-and-a-half-year Integrated Disaster and Climate Risk Management Programme focuses on:
- Raising public awareness about how to prepare for and escape the effects of disasters. For example, through the programme, thousands of posters have been put up in villagers to demonstrate how to build flood protection and evacuate family members, while teachers have been trained to explain risk awareness to children and practice drills for evacuation
- Training government officials and community leaders to reduce risks and respond effectively when catastrophes occur. Through the training they develop village plans that include measures for ensuring that enough food, water and shelter are available in the event of a flood or typhoon
- Other climate change adaptation measures

Skip to comments.Finally - A Funny Doonesbury About Life - and No Leftist Politics
Posted on 11/18/2012 9:09:04 AM PST by ProtectOurFreedom
(Excerpt) Read more at doonesbury.slate.com ...
Keep reading it...it'll sink in (but you'll only get it if you're over 40).
Not over 40, so I guess I'm not in the know. Obscure reference or?
I don't get it...?
After a week of reading posts about how Holly Patreus "brought it on herself" by looking her age—I got it right away. And the general is a stooped pencil-neck with a dyed comb over...
Beyond me...
Nope, no obscure references needed. It's all right there in front of you.
It took me three or four times through to get it. Stick with it.
I'm sure somebody will come along with a spoiler soon, but not me.
Try this one;
Paper, "better for the environment".
The whole reason plastic bags came into use was to save the trees.
IOW, what goes around, comes around, and the whole environmental angle was nothing less than a scam.
Went right past me because I always was of the impression that paper was better for the environment.
Geeze, there's that common sense again. Inconvenient.
Oh, ok — spoiler. It's that, with age, you become invisible.
Lol...fun reading these posts...
yes, I'd read that one before.. I like Day by Day...
...to young women.
Thank you, yes, that's funny.
I'll never forget the day I took my 13 year old son into Burger King and the cashier was looking at HIM the whole time.
Must be something about Burger King though because about 15 years later I got an automatic senior discount from the 16 year old cashier, and I was 5 years short of qualifying for it.
Me neither?
They have no time for chatty old folks.
This is right up there with the time Mike was listening to his favorite songs on the radio and someone asked why he was playing "Muzak", or asking if there was an elevator nearby.
When I heard Steely Dan in an elevator, I knew I was old.
Hmmm...we need a mature person store where you have to at least have 50 years of LIFE experience to work there and shop there. Nice big bathrooms, chatty folks, nice coffee shop in back, magnifying glasses at the end of every aisle, stuff like that.
Getting old makes you invisible to young ladies.
"When I heard Steely Dan in an elevator, I knew I was old."
Heck, I've heard Jimi Hendrix and Black Sabbath and Deep Purple!
Chatty old people drive me nuts in a grocery line (probably because although I am getting older I am not at all chatty). They always get in front of me in line and have nothing better to do than tell the cashier about their second cousin's great niece's cat while my bananas are turning brown sitting on the conveyer belt. If you see me behind you sliding to the front of my cart and scooting my groceries forward on the belt by half an inch it is time to put away your pictures and go home.
Don't be an irritable inglubion! That may be the only interaction with a human that old person had all day long.
Be patient, you may be that old person, some day, and you'll appreciate the patience of the folks in the line behind you.
Nah, the point is the hot young gals stop looking at you as a hunk and now ignore you because of your impending geezer-dom.
I already AM an old person and it would never enter my fading mind to make other people wait while I chat about trivia. My late parents, grandparents, and in-laws also had times of loneliness or isolation, but they were aware enough to know that other people behind them on the road or in the check-out lane were busy and didn't need to be inconvenienced. If I need someone to talk to, the check-out girl at the supermarket is not really the best choice because she's supposed to be working, focusing on her job. Distracting her beyond "Plastic, please," is not helpful. Posting HTML
Notice the Wonder bread??
Just think, your grandchildren will have no idea what Wonder bread or Twinkies are.
I always look at them and feel nothing but pity for them. They are stuck, for the most part, in lives that are so meaningless that is defies description. I got to live through the 50's, and 60's and the 80's when the possibility of a future seemed quite possible. Those that ignore me, and I'm 61, are the ones that are invisible to me. They are the generation that will envy the dead. They are nothing but Zombies with Smartphones. As for this particular Doonesbury, it was spot on.
Then again, I never (not just in the recent past) recall getting too much attention paid to me, other than telling me where to swipe my card. (Actually, back then, they were still swiping it.)
When I was young there was a period of time that I worked odd shifts and shopped in the stores during what must haave been senior shopping days. I would be in the produce department and older people would hold up a vegtable and ask me if I could tell them how to cook it. Same thing in the meat department. Took a couple of times before I caught on, well-dressed lonely people looking for conversation. I would chat for a bit and smile. Grace is a gift we all need.
I've been invisible to women for years.
The youngster cashier does seem to be treating them rather indifferently too....
No life that knows God will be meaningless. God's acceptance among people may go into and out of vogue, but God himself is the same being always.
Great, now that Carpenters song is going to be running through my head for the rest of the night.
all my life.... *sniff*
Yep, the last panel explains everything. So true...

The Ferris Collection of Prints
The Museum's Graphic Arts Collection, the oldest print-collecting unit in the Smithsonian, focuses on the technical and social history of printmaking to document how prints are made and used. Smithsonian art museums collect works on paper selected for aesthetic reasons, but the National Museum of American History (formerly the Museum of History and Technology) takes a broad view of visual culture.
Our prints illustrate technical developments and cultural changes. They represent all kinds of graphic works that have influenced American society. The collection has always included examples from many periods and countries, fine-art prints as well as popular and commercial graphic art, together with the plates, blocks, and tools used to produce prints. In 1996 the Museum presented an exhibition on 150 years of Smithsonian print collecting, Building a National Collection.
One of the largest print collections ever received by the Smithsonian was donated by the Ferris family between 1927 and 1932. Stephen James Ferris (1835–1915), a Philadelphia painter and etcher, collected over 2,000 European and American prints, both reproductive and original, representing old master and contemporary printmakers. The collection incorporated a variety of artistic subjects, compositions, and styles. Ferris may well have mined it for inspiration for his own work, but he was also deeply interested in art for its own sake. He and his family and friends would have simply enjoyed studying the images.

Saint Receiving Monk's Habit
- Description
- Abbé Jean-Claude-Richard de Saint-Non made this aquatint from a drawing by Jean Honoré Fragonard (1732–1806) of an altarpiece by Guercino in the church of San Gregorio in Bologna, Italy. While visiting Rome, Saint-Non invited Fragonard, then at the French Academy in Rome, to accompany him on a tour of northern Italy to visit sites of historic and artistic interest. Fragonard made more than 300 sketches, some of which Saint-Non used as a basis for prints that were issued in Paris between 1770 and 1774.
- Saint-Non, a wealthy amateur etcher assisted by Jean-Baptiste Delafosse, a professional printmaker, invented a successful aquatint process in 1765. In this process, the artist dusts rosin powder onto a copper plate, which is heated to adhere the rosin. The plate is then etched in acid to create a rough surface that captures the ink to provide tonal areas in the print.
- The painting by Guercino (1591–1666) shows Saint William dressed in armor putting on a monk's habit before Saint Benedict of Aniane. Saint William, formerly the Duke of Aquitaine, had fought bravely against Moorish invaders in Spain and France, but in 806 he retired from the world to become a monk in the monastery he had founded.

Testimonials from Happy Customers
"Professional service with competent installers! We love our windows!"
Kelly H.
"The Beige Windows recommended by the salesman for the historic district are a perfect color match. We bought 17 windows and will need the 3rd floor completed soon. We have noticed an energy savings already and would recommend Keystone Window to anyone."
Regina B.
"We replaced our whole house with Energy Star certified Slocomb Window and Door Windows. The installers showed up on time and cleaned everything up. The detail and explanation of how the windows operate was top notch. Our attic is now a little cooler in this hot weather. We liked that the owners are hands on and local and not some big national company from out of the area."
Doug S.
"What a difference new windows did to our air conditioning bill. The outside heat is barely noticeable inside, and the crew never stopped working. The caulking and capping really makes the windows look better than our old house.....My husband is an engineer and liked the specifications of "Slocomb Window and Door" windows over all others researched. A great investment so far!!!!!"
Wendy B.
"We only needed a patio door and chose Keystone Window. The job took 3 hours and now the door opens and closes smoothly. The morning sun no longer comes through and heats up the kitchen floor. The salesman was not pushy and gave us 30 days to decide. We liked the softer sales pitch and the product was priced fairly."
Wayne G.
"Our windows (20) were installed in a 200 year old farmhouse. We were concerned about the stone outside and how the capping would match up. The head installer was a master with the aluminum and we are very pleased. The many drafts have been reduced and we would recommend Keystone to anyone. The owners are local and really made sure we were satisfied."
Derk F.
"We only needed 3 basement windows and we liked Keystone's approach of no haggling and straight to the point. They were gone in 20 minutes or so and showed up 4 weeks later for the installation. We checked out Slocomb Window and Door and were comfortable knowing they have been in business for a long time. The owner was honest and you could tell he would go the extra mile to make us happy."
Travis L.
"Fantastic job and the price we paid was actually the price they advertised. That was not the case when we shopped around through the 2-3 hour presentations. What a relief!! Good job Keystone."
Genie R.

Peter Sheppard Skӕrved wrote a post in November about his then upcoming performance in the Enlightenment Gallery. Here he reflects on the event.
On 13 December, I returned to the British Museum for the next stage of my adventure with the wonderful Enlightenment Gallery. A joy of this unique room is that it is not only an exhibit concerning the histories of ideas, but a place in which to have ideas. As a musician, I well know that until I spend time in a space, I cannot predict what will emerge. Nowhere is this more the case than with 'Room 1'.
Every time I work here, I am struck how the Enlightenment Gallery quietly shifts its visitors into a salon environment, whether they are expecting it or not! I decided to begin my salon alone. I arrived early, before opening, to sit with my violin, to play, watch and listen, to see what new ideas began to flow. At various points during the day, there were changes of pace: my harpsichordist, Julian Perkins came to hang out and play a little in the morning and it was a fantastic chance to watch him respond to the architecture, the sounds (this is, after all, a room which is about people), and the objects in close proximity. We worked on the 17th-century works by Walther and Matteis, and they began to change, in tangible and intangible ways, finding their way as the room found its way to them.
Playing in this gallery informally affords me the opportunity to watch my audience: some people will, without doubt, find it a nuisance (they don't want a violinist in a museum), and that's their prerogative, which I respect. I watch others relishing a 'counterpoint' between objects and music – they'll often talk to me about it; there was great excitement that the violin that I was holding was older than nearly all the objects in the cases, and even more that this 16th-century violin is a tool which can be used, and can continue to offer new sounds, new ideas, today. Many younger people have never been close to classical instruments played 'live'. For generations brought up on digital recordings, there is a shock in the physical impact, the sheer quiddity ('thing-ness') of an ancient violin, or the excitement of a harpsichord, which clearly, for many people, is almost as weird a sound, and an object, as a UFO.
A few hours into the day, filmmakers from The Economist appeared and talked to me about the excitement of the space, and my project. They filmed me playing Torelli, which became part of the opening sequence of a video, A world of new museums, about a new enlightenment spirit in today's museums and museum goers.
Late in the afternoon, my string-playing colleagues arrived, and we played composer David Gorton's new 'transfigurations' of Dowland, a few feet from Dr Dee's 'shew-stones', with the box made for them by Horace Walpole. The trajectory of these objects – originally Aztec obsidian mirrors, re-imagined by Queen Elizabeth I's geomancer, later treasured by the high-priest of the 'gothick', the coiner of the word 'serendipity' – epitomise the message of this room and the music we choose for it. How can we find our way to the future, through the many discoveries of the past? What tense do we choose to speak, to write in, and does it matter?
And then the chairs went in; the audience arrived. I looked out and saw, among all the new faces, filmmakers, craftspeople, writers, teachers and artists, a true salon, the essence of this marvellous room, and the kindly spirits who grace it – Merian, Hamilton, Delaney, Sloane, the whole crew – alive and inspiring us to creativity and optimism. After the concert, it dawned on me that I had played the violin, without stopping, for 7 hours. But I was not tired, but buoyed up, invigorated by the chance to practise my craft in such company.

Amazing Grass Questions & AnswersHow do I store my opened containers?They recommend storing opened containers in either the fridge or freezerCan I take their products while pregnant and/or breastfeeding?This is a personal choice and they recommend consulting with your doctor to be sure they approve. In nearly all cases, their wheat grass is a considered green leafy vegetable nutrition and a great product to consume while pregnant or breastfeeding. The alkalizing green leafy vegetable nutrition is not only great for mom, but your baby as well. Many moms love the food based sources of folate, betacarotene along with essential vitamins and minerals. Additionally, their wheat grass helps with digestion and elimination and many moms find it really helps with constipation. Where if their wheat grass grown?They have a family farm in Kansas where all their created grasses and alfalfa are grown, harvested and dehydrated. They are all certified organic and definitely non-GMO. They also harvest their own seeds.Do they source any products from China?They source their chlorella and spirulina from China. They are grown on Hainan Island in the South Sea off the mainland of China. The city of Sanya on Hainan Island was rated 2nd in the entire world for air quality by the World Environmental Organization. It is grown in extremely pure fresh water. It is tested locally and also in the US by a 3rd party. It is certified organic and tested for heavy metals, BMAA bacteria, algal toxins, banned pesticides and melamine. It is also fair trade certified.Are their products gluten free?All Amazing Grass products are gluten free, except the new Chocolate Chip Coconut bar. It contained rolled oats. The young grasses are harvested at their peak of nutrition, priot to jointing and before any gluten if formed in the plant. They have lots of customers who have gluten intolerances including celiac disease who consume their products daily. Their products are tested internally as well as by a 3rd party using an R-Biopharm Ridascreen Fast Gliadin at 10 parts per million and they are all confirmed BLD.What is the difference between Green SuperFood and Amazing Meal?Their Green SuperFood is really focused on alkalizing green SuperFoods combined with probiotics, and antioxidant-rich super fruits. The serving size is 8 grams and there are approximately 5700 mg of green SuperFoods per serving.Their Amazing Meal line is considered a meal supplement and can be used as a meal replacement. Mixed in water it only has 110 calories, so to be considered a meal replacement you would need to mix with juice or water to consume enough calories. The serving size is much larger, between 22 and 32 grams. Each serving has 10 grams of organic plant based hemp and rice protein that is combined with their greens and other organic fruits and vegetables.I'm sensitive to caffeine, how will maca effect me?Maca is really not known as a stimulant...it is considered adaptogenic, meaning it works with your body to provide support where needed. It is purported to provide mental clarity and endurance along with fertility as well as hormonal balance. Maca is a distant relative of the potato and Mexican yam. It doesn't contain any caffeine.Do they use Siberian Ginseng in any of their products?They do not use any Siberian Ginseng in any of their productsWhat are the ingredients in their 'natural flavors'?The ingredients in their "natural flavors" are derived from foods like fruits, vegetables, spices, cacao etc. All their natural flavors are organic compliant (no GMO's, not irradiated, no pesticides, herbicide etc.), vegan and Kosher. Essentially "natural flavors" is how they are required to list the flavors they use in any of their products. Their flavors are derived from fruits and vegetables and provide a way to achieve the desired consistent flavor and taste profile that consumers expect from Amazing Grass. There is no MSG in their products.Are Amazing Grass products safe for pets to consume?Sure, they have quite a few faithful canine and feline grassheads who love their wheat grass and green superfoods. Many owners remark at how they give their older pets sustained energy. a shiny coat and better overall health. Their wheat grass is probably the most popular and they have some pet food stores who sell it and also have received great feedback from animal rescue centers who tell them they see great responses from the dogs. Typically owners mix their pwoder into their pets water and wet food. A dog walker in NYC calims their wheat grass makes his job much easier with better poops all around!Are your containers BPA free (bisphenol A)?Yes, all of their product containers are BPA free. They use the highest quality #1 PETE containers for their organic Wheat Grass powder and tablets and Green SuperFood capsules and #2 HDPE containers for the rest of their product line. BPA is found mostly in polycarbonate plastics such as #7. It is probably best to avoid using these containers if possible. There is evidence that heating these containers may cause leaching so microwaving etc. is not recommended. many canned foods are also lined with plastics containing BPA and liquids are more susceptible to any potential leaching than powders.Are there greens raw or uncooked?Yes, their greens are raw and have not been cooked. Foods are generally considered raw if they are dehydrated at temperatures under 117 degrees. They dehydrate their greens using a specially designed low temperature dehydrator. The cell temperature of the leaves doesn't get above 107 degrees. This allows them to retain maximum levels of heat sensitive nutrients like beta-carotene, phytonutrients and enzymes. There are many raw food chefs around the world that use their greens in their favorite recipes. Are their products vegan?All of their Amazing Green products are 100% Vegan except their Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein bars. Those contain whey protein. I haven't stored my Amazing Grass in the refrigerator or freezer, is it still good?Most likely your Amazing Grass product is still fine to consume. Their products are dehydrated and very low in moisture content. As long as your product has been stored in a cool dry place, the chances of the product molding or becoming contaminated are fairly small. When thir products are exposed to high temperatures, heat sensitive nutrients like betacarotene and some enzymes may have their nutritive levels dissipated somewhat. However, as long as stored properly (in a dry cool place) there is a good chance that your Amazing Grass product is still in great shape and safe to consume. They know many of their consumers (including all their employees) have traveled with an opened container for weeks at a time without cold storage. Bottom line, if you have the ability to store open containers in your refrigerator or freezer, that is preferred storage method, but their products should be fine to consume as long as they are stored in a cool dry place. What is the expiration date on your products?Their Amazing Grass products have at least a 2 year expiration date from the date of their manufacture. Their wheat grass powder is 3 years from the date of manufacture. They guarantee the nutritional analysis for any bottles that are unopened and have been stored properly without exposure to extreme temperatures, until the expiration date listed on the bottle. Once opened, they recommend storing their products in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain their highest nutritive levels. What kind of Alfalfa do they use in their products?Their alfalfa is 100% organic whole-leaf alfalfa from their family farm in Kansas. Their alfalfa is guaranteed non-GMO and they use only the nutrient dense alfalfa leaf. They do not use any alfalfa sprouts in any of their products. Alfalfa has been revered for hundreds if not thousands of years. It is known for its high protein content and because the roots can grow deep, up to 20 feet into the sub soil, it is known for its ability to deliver trace minerals unavailable in shallow rooted plants. These trace minerals include calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. Is there caffeine in your Green SuperFood?Their Green SuperFood is very low in caffeine; about 2 to 3 mg per 8 gram serving. By contrast, a cup of brewed Green Tea would typically contain less than 30 mg of caffeine and even decaffeinated coffee contains approx. 8-14 mg of caffeine. They have approx. 50 mg of green tea extract per 8 gram serving of Green SuperFood. Their Green Tea extract is high in polyphenols and the extract is very high in EGCG, an antioxidant that has powerful effects on the body. Their Chocolate Green SuperFood has less than 1 mg per 8 gram serving. The sustained energy you experience from their products comes from their green foods and the antioxidant-rich blend of super fruits. What is the 'ORAC' of your Green SuperFood?Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a method of measuring antioxidant capacities of different foods. There are many things to consider when looking at the nutritional value of a product including; vitamins, minerals, enzymes, alkalinity and of course phytochemicals. Phytochemicals can support antioxidant protection, hormonal action, stimulation of enzymes, anti-bacterial effects and interference with DNA replication. Essentially they can help protect your body from diseases and cancer mutations. In addition to providing an abundance of whole food nutritional benefits, their Green SuperFood is also very high in antioxidants. One 8 gram serving has an ORAC score of 2900. One ounce would equate to approx 10,200. For comparison, our ORAC Green SuperFood has an ORAC score of 40,000 per serving! Is the Original Green SuperFood safe for children?Yes, their Green SuperFood is safe to give to children. You can start with a quarter to half serving and increase from there.About Amazing GrassAmazing Grass cereal grasses are grown and harvested in the good ol' United States of America, on a family-run farm, in Kansas to be exact, where they're dedicated to creating the best Organic Green Superfoods, made from the finest ingredients on the face of the earth.

Too Bad
"So I got these in my size 81/2 and sneakers fit true to size but with that being said, they aren't that comfortable to wear. The sole of the sneakers are pretty heavy and I found that every step I took it was a strain on my feet and ankles. Also you can't tell by the photo but there is fabric around the very toe/top of the shoe so if that part gets dirty it'll be hard to clean it. I had to return."

Or sweet?
To make this mixed batch of caramel apples, I used this recipe from Chow, substituting soy cream and Earth Balance for the cream and butter, and brown rice syrup for corn syrup (I just couldn't bring myself to buy a bottle of liquid diabetes). With all those substitutions, I was worried they would taste like hippie caramel apples, but they're every bit as chewy and sweet as the classic. They came together more quickly than I expected, though my caramel took 20 minutes to reach 250 degrees instead of the 10 indicated in the recipe. I will definitely use this caramel in the future to smother otherwise healthy food.
The best part of eating caramel apples (besides the stick) is the meeting of super-sweet caramel and tart fruit. After the first bite, apple juice drips behind and begins to melt the caramel, creating a sweet, sour, sticky mess. If the caramel doesn't pull your teeth out, it will surely rot them away: this is the true spirit of Halloween.

I have just been told that the open enrollment period for 2014 Insurance is in May. Is this true?
How are we supposed to make an informed decision about insurance when we have to wait 6 months to choose when the rest of America is doing so now?
If my spouse has to choose now and we can not til May how are we supposed to make an informed decision, without either being insured twice, or not being insured at all for 6 months?
This will also cost us several thousand dollars which could have gone to savings.

Make a sandwich look just like Peppa with ham, pepper, ketchup, and a dash of imagination!
Play with Peppa, every day on Nick Jr.
Cut one slice of bread into a 3 1/2-inch circle using a cookie cutter or rim of a glass. Use the template to cut the remaining slice of bread. Cut out the ear pieces from the scraps of bread.
Spoon the ketchup into a plastic resealable bag. Cut the olive into two 1/2-inch circle shapes. Cut the pepper slice into a 2-inch-long smile and 2 small circles for nostrils.
Place the bread pieces on top of the ham and trim with a small knife to cut out patterns. Spread the mustard on top of the bread and add the ham slices to fit. Cut a 1 1/2-inch circle from the ham as the cheek. Arrange the pieces on a plate to look like Peppa's head. Add two dots of mayonnaise on the ham and add the olive pieces as the pupils. Add the pepper mouth and nostrils. Add the ham 'cheek.'
Just before serving, snip a very small 1/16-inch corner from the bag with the ketchup. Pipe a thin line of ketchup along the outer edges of the sandwich. Pipe a circle around the nostrils to make her 'nose.'

Rethinking America's Dysfunctional Mindset about Wealth
When it comes to their finances, Americans have become alarmingly dysfunctional the past several years. In fact, the personal savings rate in the U.S. is the lowest it has been in 73 years. To make matters even worse, credit card debt is at an all-time high, with an average of $9,312 per household. With 90 percent of Americans claiming to be worried about their retirement, you'd think that people would be more focused on saving money, but the numbers don't seem to reflect this.
"Changing your mindset is the first step toward financial freedom and economic independence," says Carla J. Cargle, noted financial expert and author of the book, The Financial Truth...to Humble, Wise and Wealthy Living (Wealth Builders Publishing, 2006). "A person's mindset determines their future. A poverty mindset reaps poverty, but a wealthy mindset reaps wealth."
Cargle is determined to change the mindset of consumption and poverty within the United States. She's dismayed by America's lack of financial discipline and it's increasing focus on material things. She encourages people to think about wealth in a different way. "Wealth is not wearable or drivable," says Cargle. "Wealth is not in your money, wealth is in your mind. It's measured by what you own, not what you earn."
While most financial advisors want you to believe that their finances are perfect, Cargle is not ashamed to admit that she's experienced financial challenges of her own. Cargle particularly understands the bumpy path to economic independence because she has actually been there. Her advice stems from her own experiences. She has lived from paycheck to paycheck and has even been unemployed and incapable of finding food, clothing, and shelter for herself.
By applying basic financial principles to her life, Cargle was able to go from poverty to prosperity. Now approaching her 15th year as a financial advisor, she shares her vast knowledge on wealth transformation to audiences and readers all over the country. She educates her audiences about the intricacies of creating wealth and how to build and protect it for generations to come.
In her book, during her speaking engagements, and throughout her financial empowerment program, The Financial Truth, Cargle emphasizes that the responsibility of ending the cycle of financial destruction begins with the individual. "The road to wealth truly does begin with you," she says. "Becoming wealthy is within your power. The Financial Truth will set you free."
Through the application of sound and practical advice, Cargle wants to lead you out of debt and put you on your journey towards wealth and financial freedom. "Just remember that wealth must manifest itself with your mind before it can exist in the tangible," she says. "Don't allow society to make you believe that wealth is only about being a multimillionaire or billionaire."

Secretary Vilsack Meets Farmers, Tours Biofuel Facility and Discusses Recovery Act Business Support During Pennsylvania Visit
Friday, a beautiful spring day in Pennsylvania, it was my pleasure to welcome Secretary Vilsack and his wife Christy to Pennsylvania for a tour and rural discussion. We started the day at Middletown Biofuels for a facility tour along with Congressman Tim Holden and other local and state officials. Middletown Biofuels recently received over $17,000 from USDA for producing biodiesel fuel from soybean oil. The facility is located in the heart of Pennsylvania's agricultural industry, providing ready access to soybean and other vegetable oil feedstocks. We then traveled to the state capitol in Harrisburg where the Secretary announced that in Pennsylvania, the Recovery Act has guaranteed $35.6 million in business loans that are expected to save or create more than 450 jobs. In total, USDA has provided loan guarantees to 350 U.S. businesses in the last seven months that will create or save nearly 23,500 jobs. Read more »

Skip to comments.Obama Being Sent to Debate Camp Next Week (Camp Awanapromta)
Posted on 10/06/2012 5:28:02 PM PDT by smoothsailing
They can spend all the time at all the camps they want and it won't wipe the FAIL off the last four years, but they'll try anyway:
To remedy this, there will be more extensive preparation for Obama before the next showdown — now much higher stakes for Obama — at Hofstra University. Obama will set up debate camp at the end of next week in Williamsburg, Va.
Obama may not be adding more rehearsal time — but as senior adviser David Axelrod says, he's going to be more strategic about how he uses it.
And on Obama's debate sparring partner — Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), who wants to be secretary of state in a second Obama term — with his future in the balance, will he be able to be more aggressive and push back against Obama now that Romney has shown his stuff?
Sources tell me it's an Indian-themed getaway: Camp Awanaprompter.
Obama blew it at the last debate because he's defending things that can't be defended. He lost not because he wasn't prepared for the debate, but because he wasn't prepared to be president — and it showed......

Sending Zer0 to the camps is a good idea. Gitmo' at a minimum.
Dang I wish I had the talent for rhyme, I'd whip up some alternative lyrics for Camp Granada.
Here's what Mitt will do to Mack daddy in the. Ext debate.
Leave it to Obamagabe to go to a Native American sounding camp.
You can't fix COMMIE.
"I went to Debate Camp and All I Got Was This Lousy T-shirt"
"Debate Camp is a Drag!"
"Debate Camp is Hard!"
"I'd Rather be Golfing"
"I Don't Know Who's Going to Win the Debate and I Don't Really Care"
"I Don't Need to Cheat. I've Got an Earpiece"
"There is a deep down, underneath all the work I do, I think theres a laziness in me."
His time at Camp Iwannapeepee didn't help last time!
I am certain the media has been given orders: Obamugabe is the WINNER of the next debate.
"He lost not because he wasnt prepared for the debate, but because he wasnt prepared to be president"
Ouch. That sums up the problem rather nicely.
Why does he need to do this prep in Williamsburg? Won't this entail even more taxpayer expense (lodging, security, meals, etc.)
Or is that the only way a communist can prepare for a debate? By depleting the "minions" of their earnings?
I am certain the media has been given orders: Obamugabe is the WINNER of the next debate.
Hello Maddow, Hello Mathews,
I am writing with all due promptness...
Here I am in Camp Promptless....
They'd better have Joe Biden check to see if the camp is at the same altitude as the stage at Hofstra.

"Hey, I hear there's a big fundraising scandal coming. If I resign now, that means I don't gotta go to Debate Camp, right?
Can we just go to Hawaii now and let Gaffer Joe take over?
It's at about the same altitude, right? I don't wanna be confused when I get there."
The third debate is usually rated higher than the second, but not quite as high as the first. Romney will clobber 0bama in the third debate even worse than he did in the first one. The "I killed Osama" and "I ended the Iraq War" isn't going to hold up against the rebuttal that both of those things were accomplished with tactics and policies that he campaigned against when he was running in 2008. All the rest of the foreign policy news runs downhill from there into a series of complete disasters.
The problem is that the MSM doesn't need to be given orders. They are already in the Obama camp; no one was more devastated after the first debate. Some tried, but even they couldn't bring themselves to declare O the winner.
Here's Camp Awana. It's right next to Awanaprompta.
I'll get you started:
Hello Wookie, hello Sasha,
Here I am at Camp Cramalata.
Camp is very entertaining,
And they say we'll play some golf if it stops raining.
I went hiking with Joe Biden;
He developed poison ivy.
You remember Rachel Maddow;
She was cross dressing last night after sundown.
All the conservatives hate the libtards,
And the street has crossing guards,
And John Kerry wants no sissies,
So he reads to us from something called "Ulysses".
Now I don't want this should alarm ya,
But my bunk mate is Reggie Love.
You remember mean old Mitt,
They're all saying he beat me like a twit.
Interesting that he has all the time he needs for debate school but no time for Bebe.
My thoughts exactly! Williamsburg, during fall tourist season?
Something tells me there must be a secluded golf course nearby. That family does love its resorts and travel.
Camp David makes more sense for serious study.
I think they ought to considering lots of sighing, and maybe an occasional "but what about Dingell-Norwood?"
I think they ought to consider lots of sighing, and maybe an occasional "but what about Dingell-Norwood?"
CNN and Candy Crowley will try there hardest to destroy Romney in that debate !
You will see nothing but Obama plants and Gay marriage radicals in the audience just like Cooper did in the GOP primary town hall !!!
Own will be in full force !
It's the October surprise !!
It's will be one huge ambush !!
Romney would be do better to cancel it !
I just hope for a good debate because my daughter will be working there. (Good luck, Sweetie! Even though you'll never see this message because you take after your mother too much.)
Hello Malia, hello Sasha
Here I am, at Camp Debate'Ya
It is very entertaining
They say I'll have some fun
When I stop blaming
You're my daughters, and I love you
But I'm a loser, yes it's so true
The media tried to reinvent me
But damn that Brietbart, he really snared me
That old Chris Matthews, Allah bless him
His tingles helped me into the White House
He freaked out roy'ly when Romney creamed me
He might not last thru election season
That Maui mansion sounds simply perfect
If things go as planned, we'll be there tout-suite
Your mother's moving out to Chicago
She just can't take the fake bravado
So Malia, and so Sasha
You girls will have to cover my ass-ah
When your schoolmates ask all about me
Tell them Americans successfully nailed me
Quote of the Day
lol, thanks!
Hello Muddah,
Hello Faddah,
I am here at,
Camp Obama.
CNN ambush just like that Gay Cooper did !
Look for a victim illegal and victim
Gay and victim cancer patient etccccc
To question Romney !
Recall Cooper picked a gay veteran who was his plant and had been on his show before .
Team Romney better screen each person and check how they are a CNN plant !
That's good!!! :)
Hope Obama and Kerry get lost at Camp Where-the-heck-are-we.....LOL
He's dumb enough to think he can channel some of the forefathers.
"That family does love its resorts and travel."
Seems there was a thread here several days ago showing how Hussein's family spent more money than UK's royal family did last year.
That's really something! She will see history being made! :)
Why should the world's smartest half-Negro Muslim, need to be coached by the Gigolo,traitor ,John F'in Kerry, who didn't do so well in his own run for the big office./
Camp Awana would be good for Obama.
I'm down with that struggle...
LOL, Ray Stevens is a treasure!
And just what makes ANYONE believe that Obama actually took the time to 'practice' with Kerry ?
Those of us who had him figured out from Day One know that he has neither the consciousness, the intelligence, the aptitude nor the interest in being president of the United States. He won by a fluke in 2008; he will lose decisively next month.

GDFD No. 65: A tough draw
Ryan Lambert
March 07 2010 12:44PM
Welcome to the Game Day Fire Drill, for this, Calgary's 65th game of the season on March 7, 2010.
I don't know what, exactly, it is about the Wild that makes Calgary just turn to a gooey pile of pliable gel, but man, it's effective.
Calgary used to dominate Minnesota, you know. You wouldn't know it these days, but before this season, Calgary went 23-5-2 against the Wild since the lockout. This year? Well, the nicest thing you can say is that they kept it respectable in the overtime loss.
There's just nothing the Flames have been able to do to make the Wild fear them. First and most obviously they've been outscored 10-2 in 183-plus minutes. A goal every 91 minutes or so is, for those that aren't familiar, not very good. Yeah, the Flames' offense is 27th in the NHL this year, but this makes an already-bad situation so much worse.
And the same is true of faceoffs, actually. You'd think the Flames would be hard-pressed to do considerably worse than their 29th-ranked faceoff percentage of 47.5, but they've blown well past that level of futility against Minnesota, which has positively battered the Flames at the dot, winning 100 of the games' 157 draws, a 63.7 percent clip. Honestly, a faceoff percentage of 36.3 for Calgary. It's almost unfathomable, even if the Wild are second in the league on draws. The worst part, though, is offensive zone draws. Calgary has won 20 of 67 (29.9 percent) and that's seriously going to kill a game.
Not to make too much of it — too late, right? — but the only Calgary players with faceoff percentages above 50 are Dustin Boyd (what ever happened to THAT guy?) and Jamal Mayers. Great, see ya out there!
The Calgary Flames (31-24-9 for 71 points. Ninth in the West, third in the Northwest) and the Minnesota Wild (31-27-5 for 67 points. Tied for 12th in the West, fourth in the Northwest).
1 p.m. Mountain time and 3 p.m. Eastern time. All other time zones should become the greatest person that ever lived.
Pengrowth Saddledome, Calgary, Alberta.
Calgary is 15-9-6 on the road this year, but 0-2-1 against Minnesota overall. The Wild are 21-8-2 at home, which is the fourth-best home record in the West.
What (to hate about the Wild)
Guillaume Latendresse — Did you know Latendresse is Minnesota's leading goalscorer this year with 19? It's true! Did you know that he's scored those 19 goals in just 33 games since being traded from Montreal.
Niklas Backstrom — He's played all three games against Calgary this year and done okay. Insofar as 3-0-0 with two goals allowed on 78 shots (a .974 save percentage!) over three games is "okay."
Marek Zidlicky and Martin Havlat — Against the Flames this year, they've combined for eight points in three games (2.67 per). Against every other team in the league, they've combined for 77. Great.
Because the Flames just might beat the Wild this time. Enjoy the game and hope for a win in the comments section.
March 07 2010, 12:53PM
So...Toskala in net huh? Did Brent Sutter bet on the Flames to lose or something?
March 07 2010, 12:58PM
Mikael Backlund is a healthy scratch? WTF?
March 07 2010, 01:09PM
Well...that's a favorable start.
Nice tip by Bourque.
March 07 2010, 01:10PM
Steve Staios, obviously acquired for his offensive acumen.
March 07 2010, 01:14PM
Two goals on three shots? I'll take it.
March 07 2010, 01:14PM
So...Toskala in net huh? Did Brent Sutter bet on the Flames to lose or something?
The Flames' Toskala Game Plan — score early and often.
March 07 2010, 01:16PM
The Flames' Toskala Game Plan — score early and often.
That's a sound plan.
March 07 2010, 01:18PM
Backstrom looks fairly shaky thus far.
March 07 2010, 01:21PM
Backstrom looks fairly shaky thus far.
True enough. And a propos of nothing, whatever became of Manny Fernandez?
March 07 2010, 01:22PM
unofficial retirement. He had some injury concerns by the end I think.
March 07 2010, 01:27PM
Teams are trading chances now. We're lucky they've had a few go wide I think.
March 07 2010, 01:27PM
unofficial retirement. He had some injury concerns by the end I think.
Yeah, one of the less-discussed consequences of the current CBA is that more than ever, veteran players quietly disappear and go into unwilling retirement. Tony Amonte, for instance, was clearly useful enough to remain in the NHL for another season or three but not so outstanding in any one department that clubs didn't prefer filling out their roster with a cheap young player instead.
March 07 2010, 01:29PM
Played an adequate backup role in Boston (statswise) but they didn't want to keep him around because he's like 36 and his back and legs are a shambles.
Also, Tuukka Rask.
Why even Oncle Jacques couldn't find a job for him.
March 07 2010, 01:29PM
Flames on a PP? I almost forgot what that was like...
March 07 2010, 01:31PM
Well, that was unsuccessful.
March 07 2010, 01:31PM
Well, that was unsuccessful.
March 07 2010, 01:34PM
Nice little play by Moss. He's looked a lot like his old self since he returned from injury I think.
March 07 2010, 01:34PM
@Kent Wilson
So you're saying that was unsuccessful?
March 07 2010, 01:36PM
Haven't any idea why that appeared twice.
March 07 2010, 01:40PM
Haven't any idea why that appeared twice.
It's the little-known "random ibid" feature of the comments button.
March 07 2010, 01:41PM
The puck is bouncing like a tennis ball.
March 07 2010, 01:41PM
What's the cliche? A good road first period?
March 07 2010, 01:44PM
I counted 9 Flames scoring chances to the Wild's 6 in that period. Decent start as a visiting team.
Who called it? Toskala outduels Backstrom through 20 minutes.
March 07 2010, 01:47PM
To put that number in context, the Flames had one scoring chance in the first period against the Devils.
March 07 2010, 01:47PM
Who called it? Toskala outduels Backstrom through 20 minutes.
haha, no one as far I can tell.
Let's just hope it continues.
March 07 2010, 02:02PM
Burns has impressed me thus far today.
March 07 2010, 02:08PM
Lucky to get through the PK without being scored on. Nice saves and bounces too.
March 07 2010, 02:10PM
Remember that old line about 2-0 being the worst lead in hockey?
March 07 2010, 02:15PM
Remember that old line about 2-0 being the worst lead in hockey?
I thought that was amended to 5-0 after the debacle against the Hawks earlier this year?
March 07 2010, 02:17PM
Havlat is still a Flame killer.
March 07 2010, 02:24PM
Wow. What a shot by Iginla.
March 07 2010, 02:26PM
That, as they say in the colour commentary business, is a big goal.
March 07 2010, 02:31PM
Well, this is getting "interesting" (read: scary).
March 07 2010, 02:38PM
Nice to be ahead going into the third period.
Scoring chances were 6-6 in that frame.
A loooooooooooooong 20 minutes to go.
March 07 2010, 02:42PM
Brent sure likes his 4th line. That cost him a couple of times in that period I think.
March 07 2010, 02:43PM
A loooooooooooooong 20 minutes to go.
You're not kidding.
March 07 2010, 02:50PM
Some crooked shooting so far this afternoon — 21 missed shots by Minnesota and 18 by Calgary.
March 07 2010, 02:58PM
Par for the course for the Flames this year.
March 07 2010, 03:03PM
Flames look like they're hanging on for dear life so far.
March 07 2010, 03:18PM
Nice to have the late PP's.
March 07 2010, 03:19PM
Jarome's come out firing this afternoon.
March 07 2010, 03:23PM
Point for discussion — are the Flames playing differently in front of Toskala than they typically did in front of McElhinney?
I've seen parts of the 2nd & 3rd. About to skim thru the comments, but what I have seen, I've liked. Toskala playing good? Staios?
March 07 2010, 03:28PM
Looks like the Bourque/Iginla duo might be working out.
March 07 2010, 03:28PM

Nah, at least not this year. Flames had some good games in front of Cumac this year.
March 07 2010, 03:35PM
@Kent Wilson
So you're saying that the Bourque/Iginla duo might be working out?

Our good homies DJ Skeet Skeet aka Yung Skeeter & Wax Motif have teamed up to do a colossal 2-track EP and we're getting the exclusive sneak-premiere of the EP's diabolical techno b-side called "Hush Hush" before its released tomorrow on Dim Mak Records!
Producers YUNG SKEETER and WAX MOTIF join forces on the 2-track release "Next To Me." Two monstrous sounds collide on this release, packing a double punch with tracks "Next to Me" featuring Nevaeh and "Hush Hush," bringing forth music that is as brisk as it is fiery hot. "Next To Me" takes listeners on a new high built with an aggressive electro crunch smoothed out by airy female vocals. "Hush Hush" delves into deeper house territory with a pinch of the trademark Dim Mak electro sound.

CASTLE DALE-Our loving parents William and Charmaine Sharp, true examples of endless love and dedication to one another departed this life on Oct. 21, 2009 in Castle Dale.
William Parley Sharp was born Dec. 14, 1957 in Richfield, Utah to Loyd Alan and Barbara Case Sharp.
Charmaine Edith Jeffs Sharp was born Sept. 2, 1955 in Price, Utah to Dale Lee and Edith Eleen Beech Jeffs.
William and Charmaine were married on July 26, 1980 and they lived a life of service to the Lord.
They were devout members of the Mission San Rafael Catholic Church in Huntington where they could often be found singing in the choir and attending Mass with their children. They fought tirelessly for justice, truth, protecting the innocent and opposing abortion.
They loved their children, family, friends and were always serving as great examples to others. William and Charmaine would often say that they were living their lives in paradise. They were outdoor enthusiasts who enjoyed hunting, fishing, loving and laughing with each other and their family. They were deeply in love, two hearts brought together and never broken. Charmaine and William loved their neighbors as themselves, they were slow to anger and quick to forgive.
They are true examples of endless love and strength. They are survived by a huge loving family of children, grandchildren, God children, mother, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, cousins and friends.
A Funeral Mass for William and Charmaine, will be celebrated Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2009, 10 a.m., at the Mission San Rafael Catholic Church.

Louisiana's Senate Bill 156 (PDF) would, if enacted, repeal the state's Balanced Treatment for Creation-Science and Evolution-Science Act, which was enacted in 1981 and declared to be unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court in Edwards v. Aguillard in 1987.
Both houses of West Virginia's legislature have agreed on a version of House Bill 4014 that would require only the review, not the repeal, of the recently adopted state science standards, according to the Charleston Gazette-Mail (March 12, 2016).
House Bill 899 and Senate Bill 1018 both died in committee on March 11, 2016, when the Florida legislature adjourned. Ostensibly aimed at empowering taxpayers to object to the use of specific instructional materials in the public schools, the bills were promoted by groups with a record of objecting to the treatment of evolution and climate change in textbooks, as NCSE previously reported.

NCSE congratulates Carl Zimmer for winning the 2016 Stephen Jay Gould Prize from the Society for the Study of Evolution.
At its March 7, 2016, meeting, West Virginia's Senate Education Committee revised House Bill 4014 to require only the review, not the repeal, of the recently adopted state science standards, according to the Charleston Gazette-Mail (March 7, 2016).

WAR and Tower of Power will be at War Memorial Auditorium in Nashville, TN
"What do you get when you take Funk, Rock, Latin, Reggae, Jazz & R&B and mix it all together perfectly over 40 years? Answer: War." - Mario Lopez
Hits include: "Low Rider" "The Cisco Kid," "Spill The Wine," "Why Can't We Be Friends," and many more!
WAR is an Experience..............you don't want to miss! Read more about WAR at www.wartheband.com.
With 44 years of recording and touring experience behind them, Tower of Power have a 40th ANNIVERSARY CD/DVD BOX SET and a new album, THE GREAT AMERICAN SOULBOOK which features covers of soul classics with guest singers Joss Stone, Sir Tom Jones, Huey Lewis, and Sam Moore.
The group still garners rave reviews, and leaves the audiences dancing in their seats in the arenas, theatres, and outdoor venues they play year 'round. Melding soul, jazz, funk, and rock in a way no group ever has, the ten-piece outfit is, according to the HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, "tighter than a clenched fist."
The late great James Brown was quoted in HEEB magazine about Tower of Power, as saying, "There's no black group that plays my stuff as good as them."
Tower of Power, after 40 years, is experiencing more popularity than ever before as they tour year 'round packing venues in the United States, the Pacific Rim, and all over Europe. On June 6, 2004 The California Music Association honored Tower of Power with a Lifetime Achievement Award and cited their 2003 Sony Legacy anthology "Havin' Fun" as Soul/R&B album of the year, beating out releases by En Vogue and Raphael Saadiq.
