Latest Updates and Structural Trends
We expect wind and solar capacity to grow by 13.5% and 38.5% in 2016 respectively, with overall non-hydopower renewables generating a 8.24% share of total electricity generation.
MidAmerican Energy Company filed a proposal with the Iowa Utilities Board in April 2016 to build an up to 2GW Wind XI power complex in the US state. The company is yet to identify a location for the USD3.6bn scheme.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) received a lease request from Trident Winds in March 2016 to develop an up to 800MW floating wind power project off the California coast, US. The proposed project will be built offshore Morro Bay and will be installed with 100 units of up to 8MW floating turbines. BOEM will now issue a Federal Register Notice to find out if any other firms are interested in developing projects in the same area. The agency will then launch a competitive or a non-competitive leasing process for the project, depending on whether any interest is expressed by other firms.
In February 2016 the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) voted 5 to 4 to halt the Clean Power Plan's implementation until a pending lawsuit against the plan's legality - presented by more than two dozen states, coal miners and utilities arguing that the EPA overstepped its authority - is set by the Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit. Oral arguments for the lawsuit are scheduled to be heard on June 2016. The plan was unveiled in August 2015 and aims to reduce emissions from power plants by 32% (based on 2005 levels) by 2030.
The multi-year extension of the US government's tax credits in December 2015 for solar and wind power have increased long-term predictability for investors and developers in the sector, rendering the US one of the world's most attractive solar markets in the world and led to a strong ten-year forecast also for the wind sector.
In December 2015, Google announced in December 2015 that it signed power purchase agreements (PPAs) for 842MW of renewable capacity to power its datacentres.
In December 2015, the UN's Paris Agreement was passed with strong support of the Obama administration. The agreement, that seeks to reduce the global average temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius (down from a previous 2 degrees), will enter into force once 55 countries that produce 55% of global GHG emissions ratified, accepted, approved or acceded to the agreement.
In January 2015, the prospects for the US offshore wind industry deteriorated as two utilities cancelled their PPAs with the country's flagship offshore wind facility, Cape Wind.

The charitable donations of the DeVos family have always remained a closely guarded secret, despite the world knowing the family provided millions in support to various organizations each year the family always stood firm in keeping exact figures a closely guarded secret. After years of pleading from the Forbes magazine the DeVos family have finally made their personal accounts available to the magazine in a bid to explain just how the family spreads its wealth around the community of Western Michigan and beyond; the release of figures has finally been made and shows the family headed by Rich DeVos and his son Dick have given around $1.2 billion to good causes throughout their lifetime and $94 million in 2014 alone, according to MLive.
Dick DeVos has taken over more than simply the role of the head of the family's Amway business, but has also taken a major role in the charitable and political donations the family undertakes. Alongside his wife, Betsy, Dick DeVos has developed one of the best respected charitable groups in the shape of the Dick and Betsy DeVos Foundation that has provided funding for groups around the U.S. Many of the top educational programs in the U.S. based around charter schools are now operating because of the work completed by the foundation created by Dick and Betsy DeVos.
There are many areas of the life of Dick DeVos that are impressive for us all to enjoy, including the chance to understand just how he has transcended a number of different areas of industry to become one of the top executives in the U.S. After completing his education DeVos took over the foreign arm of the AmWay Group in a bid to make sure this neglected area of the company became a profitable business on its own. DeVos has never shied away from a challenge and even took control of the Orlando Magic NBA franchise after his father Rich sanctioned its purchase.

Should You Dig In or Bug Out?
By: Tom Chatham
Should you dig in or bug out? That is a question many people will have to ask themselves at some point in the future. That answer will be different for many people due to a range of circumstances and conditions.
What is right for one person and location may be lethal for someone else in another location. That is why you need to have situational awareness and critical thinking ability. You need to analyze the threats and determine the best course of action in that time and place. What once was a safe location could quickly become a death trap if you fail to see the changing situation. This is why normalcy bias kills.
Just like a person who loses their job and decides to stay where they are and continue life as normal while watching their savings quickly depleting. They fail to look ahead and contemplate the dangers if they take no action. If they did an honest assessment and determined they probably will not find a new job before they run out of money and lose their home, they would come to that conclusion while they still had resources to work with and determine a safer course of action.
Your knowledge, location and preparedness level will largely determine what you should do at any given time. When disaster arrives what you do and when you do it will determine how well you overcome the problems and make it to the end.
If you live in a large city and something happens that destroys basic services and the ability to care for your family, you may not have much time to act. In some situations you must act before the disaster strikes if you are to have any chance of getting through it. Hurricane Katrina is a good example. Martial law that cuts off cities from surrounding areas is another.
In most survival situations your chances of survival in a rural area is about 10 times better than in a city. That is because you have lower population density and you are surrounded by the resources you need to survive. That means fewer people competing for those resources. You also have the space to produce more resources that you need over time.
Even in the country you will face dangers and have to determine if you should stay in place or move to another location. Fires, floods or roving bands of survivors from other places may make a rural location unsafe. You need to see those dangers coming before they happen and decide your best course of action.
In the end, your knowledge, location and preparedness level will help you decide what you should do before you find yourself in a situation you cannot get out of. There are many unknowns when a disaster happens. Being prepared and having thought through some of those potential problems reduces some of those unknowns so that you can make good decisions. The better informed that you are, the better your decisions will be.
The decision to dig in or bug out will be a pivotal moment in your life because it will have serious repercussions on future events. You need to make decisions that greatly enhance your chances to survive not put you in more danger. You need to expand your comfort zone to allow you to think outside of normal situations and doing so will help eliminate your normalcy bias and give you the best chance to make good decisions in a timely manner. When the worst happens, you may not have the benefit of someone else telling you what to do, it will be up to you to make those decisions. Once you make a decision you will have to live with it.
Surviving Long Term Without Electricity
By: Tom Chatham
We all like to think that even if something catastrophic happens we will still have at least some access to electricity to run some of our most critical items. It is in our nature to be optimistic when it comes to our well being. Unfortunately the universe has no limit to the ways it can harm us. Whether through natural or manmade occurrences, we are subject to crisis at any time.
It is this potential for hardship that we are required as thinking persons to take due diligence and insure we can overcome potential events at least to some degree. Preparedness allows us to exert a certain amount of control over what happens to us.
It does not matter if it is a hurricane, earthquake, CME or war. How well we cope with the event is entirely up to us. When the worst of events happen we are forced back onto our own resources until things stabilize and resupply of basic needs is restored. In some cases it could be weeks or even years before this stabilization happens and distribution systems are reestablished. This will depend on the type of event and its damaging effects.
When the worst happens and society as a whole is stripped of its modern conveniences, only those that can cope with the new reality will likely survive. This means knowing how to use the ways of past generations to get by from day to day. Survival will depend on how prepared you are to revert to these older techniques to fulfill logistical needs. Here are some of the major items you will need to deal with when the worst happens.
Water sources and pumping –
Finding and retrieving clean water is a critical need when services are cut off for extended durations. Knowing where to go locally to find clean water and having a way to collect it and carry it home become life saving measures. Having the means to filter water or knowing how to build devices to do so becomes priceless knowledge.
Growing food –
Having food stores is essential to staying alive following an event until distribution and production systems are working again. Storable food gives you the time to find new sources of food or to begin growing your own food. The ability to grow your own food provides you with a sustainable source of food for indefinite periods of time. Extra food production also gives you a product to trade with.
Storing food –
Once you have food you must have a way to store it until you use it. Different foods have different storage requirements and shelf life. You may need several types of storage to satisfy all of your needs. Root cellars, dehydration, canning and salting are some of the most popular methods that do not require electricity to maintain food supplies.
Providing heat and light –
Providing heat and light without electricity will require primitive methods to some extent. Wood stoves for heating and cooking are necessities over long periods of time. Some stoves with glass doors will even provide some light. Oil lamps and candles are the most basic types of home lighting. In desperate situations it is possible to make additional candles and produce liquids to burn in lamps.
When modern types of transportation no longer work you must cultivate older systems to fulfill your needs. Bicycles, horses, boats and walking will be the fallback systems most will use when modern systems fail.
Without electricity to send and receive signals from afar, older more local systems will be required. Bike or horse messengers will become standard again. For more technical minded people like ham radio operators, Morse code can still be utilized with the use of signal mirrors or signal lamps. Message boards at central locations will be useful for dispersion of information to local populations.
Poor sanitation has the ability to kill more people than anything else on Earth. We see it all the time following major disasters. Whatever your living situation is now, it could drastically change within minutes. Understanding proper sanitation methods such as how to build an outhouse in your yard can mean the difference between life and death. You need to know how you will dispose of waste safely if your current system stops working. This is especially true if you live in a city where your options may be limited.
In the old days before telephones, the sheriff was a long ride away. Any imminent threats had to be dealt with by you. That can happen again and does following some disasters. Being able to keep your surroundings safe following some event will allow you to start the rebuilding process. Lack of a safe area makes survival much harder especially long term.
Long ago when a person got sick they either sent for the doctor or carried the sick person to him. This usually required actual horse power in either case meaning it was slow. When this happens today we have the advantage of having modern medicines and equipment to keep people alive when they would have likely died in the past. Many of these modern techniques and medicines can be maintained by individuals to insure they are available to injured persons if help cannot come. Knowledge of medical procedures and organic medicines would be necessary if a long term disaster occurred.
The possibility of total loss of electrical production and electrical devices is very small but not impossible. The only way to be fully prepared for any type of event is to assume the worst case will happen and have a plan to deal with the needs of the community. It is good to have back up equipment to satisfy your needs but some natural disasters can destroy that equipment leaving you only the most basic means to work with. When that happens what you know becomes very important.
Knowing how to take care of basic needs for long durations without the aid of modern conveniences becomes more critical as the world around us becomes more automated and technologically based. Many people today cannot function when something as simple as a power outage or communication outage occurs. They have forgotten how to think for themselves and think through the most simple problems.
If the worst should happen such as an earthquake or major war, leaving you cut off from modern services, it will be up to you to work through the problems you face with the tools available to you. Help may not come for a very long time and if that happens your life will be in your hands.
Revenge of The Silver Bugs
By: Tom Chatham
It has been a long wait for the silver bugs but the future may indeed see them richly rewarded for all of their patience. Those that have held on are now about to see the end game unfold.
There have been many projections on the highs that silver could hit in the future ranging from a low of $100 to highs of $1,000.
It should be noted that much of the above ground silver has been used in the past few decades for industrial purposes that leave most of that silver not reclaimed due to the small amounts used in individual products. The plans of China to increase solar production will take a great deal of future silver production to power their energy grid.
The current production has silver at about a 10 to 1 ratio of gold. On the surface this means that silver should be valued at least at the 10/1 ratio. The current disproportionate ratio of 78/1 will insure silver rises at a higher percentage than gold during the current bull market.
If current projections of $10,000 gold are anywhere near correct that would put silver in the $1,000 range. Regardless of the ultimate price, gold and silver will rise substantially as chaos enters the markets. It is this chaos that will also require people to store the necessary resources to care for their families until the chaos subsides. Gold and silver holdings do not insure access to resources during chaos but will be valuable afterward to take advantage of good deals due to revaluations in the economy.
In times like this when most people are at risk of losing much of their wealth, the current low price of silver can help the average person not only preserve what little wealth they have but even increase it many fold to offset the failure of incomes to keep up with real inflation over the past few decades.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to beat the bankers at their own game. When the economic leverage shifts back from the paper wealth to real money those holding real money will reap the benefits. Even small holdings of silver will help individuals to insure their wealth will remain in tact after this economic cycle comes to an end.
Gold and silver are a form of escape hatch in the banker controlled economic system we are forced to play in. When they pull the plug on the current paper wealth, those that know no better will cling to those worthless paper assets to the very end never dreaming they will someday be totally worthless. The very few that understand what is taking place will use that escape hatch to save what they have so they can continue to prosper in the future.
The bankers know of this escape hatch but they have few ways to close it without alerting the people so they use their position and trust to convince the population this doorway is dangerous. They call it a barbarous relic that has no place in a modern society. They do this because they know the truth. If they can convince the people long enough, by the time people know the truth it will be too late to exit this door.
Those that have already taken this door out of the system are now looking in at the fire that is about to burn the house down. When the rush to the exits happen, many will not make it out. There is still time to get out ahead of the crowd but time is now very short. Any more procrastination on your part will likely be lethal to your economic health. On this Independence day free yourself from the banker controlled system by purchasing some real money and renew your declaration of freedom.
Small Homes: A Shelter For All Economic Seasons
By: Tom Chatham
With the economic conditions becoming ever worse around the world every day it is becoming harder for the average person to build or buy large homes that make their owners feel successful. In recent decades it has become the norm to keep up with the neighbors in consumer spending. Nobody wants to be the neighbor that has the smaller home, the older car or an older phone. Competition has gone to extreme limits and now those limits are becoming unsustainable as people find themselves working lower wage jobs part time.
A home used to be a shelter for your family and nothing more but now they are seen as a savings vessel and a trophy to hold up to society as a whole. This mantra is coming to a catastrophic end very soon as those that still have a good job will soon find they can no longer keep up with the payments as society becomes mired in massive inflation and later deflation destroying everything not fully owned that can be protected from theft by politicians and bandits alike.
The more you have and the bigger it is the harder it will be to protect it in the future. You cannot simply pick up your 2,000sq.ft. home and move it when necessary in a turbulent environment. That elephant becomes a ball and chain. That's even if you own it outright which most people do not. All of the years of payments you put into it could easily be lost through no fault of your own even though you did everything right.
When everything goes wrong in the economy you will still need a place to call home to provide shelter for your family. Being comfortable does not mean being big. A small home can provide everything a family needs to get by whether times are good or bad. It will be less costly to build, to maintain and cost less in taxes every year.
Most people can not fathom having to live in the small homes that many of our grandparents called home. That mentality will have to change and will be for the better as it will allow people to relearn the difference between needs and wants.
A small cottage or cabin can provide everything a family needs to have a good life. When times are good and they have extra money they will be able to save it rather than pour it into an asset that can go down faster than it goes up. Having actual savings is very important especially if credit is difficult to obtain.
A small home of only a few hundred square feet can be used as a vacation spot, a primary residence or an opportunity to rent it out for additional income. It can also provide a struggling millennial with a low wage job the ability to actually own a home now. This last fact will become more important as time goes on. Not only that but the ability for you to own a home free and clear will alleviate the anxiety if you come on hard times and risk losing your primary home. Knowing you still have a place to go that you can afford to maintain will be worth a great deal to you and your family.
Most people do not realize how cheap a small home can be built for. A great deal of the expense of a home comes from the size, the zoning regulations and the cost of labor to build it. Not to mention the cost of land in certain markets. A small home that can be built by you from kit form is a poor persons dream. It only requires a person to think in terms of function rather than size and looks.
A small home is a way for people that are marginally getting by to survive until they can improve their situation. Small cabin kits can be found for as little as $7,000 that two people can assemble in a few days. Imagine being able to buy a small piece of rural land, put in a well and septic system and build a livable home on it all for less than the cost of a modern luxury car. It's possible in many areas.
Here is just one place where you can find prefab cabin kits for very little. Getaway Prefab Wooden Cabin Kit bzbcabinsandoutdoors.net
Even if you decide to build from scratch yourself these kits can give you some good ideas to start from.
In the coming months having a fully owned shelter you can depend on will become harder as the economy gets worse and people lose much of the money they think they have. It only takes a second for all of those digits in your banks computer to disappear forever.
Even if you have a good shelter now a cabin can provide you with an income producing opportunity that should not be overlooked. Also for those that have collage aged kids that are probably having a hard time in today's economy, you can help them get a good start by helping to provide them with a small paid for home like a cabin that they can call their own. Having a paid for home starting out in life can open up many opportunities for a young adult. The money they can save even over a few years can be very helpful.
A small home provides a stepping stone to better things in the future but if things go terribly wrong in the economy you will have a place to go no matter what. Starting out small and working up is the way people have lived for centuries. It is only recently that people have been exposed to easy credit that has allowed them to live beyond their means and the future collapse of this credit will force people to return to a saner, more reality based existence. Start small, live within your means and follow your dreams and you may someday have the mansion on the hill to show for all of your effort.
How Will You Cope With A Lower Standard of Living?
By: Tom Chatham
The forces are mounting that will eventually overwhelm most Americans and send their standard of living to unknown depths. Americans that have only known the post WWII prosperity are ill equipped and educated to deal with depression level living. Easy credit and instant gratification have created a nation of whining, self absorbed, entitlement minded people with no moral or mental toughness.
Doug Casey believes we are headed for what he calls a super depression created by the ending of a debt super cycle. The bigger the debt cycle the bigger the depression that follows. That's how reality works and most people are not prepared for reality.
When this depression, which has already started, gets momentum, it will overwhelm the plans of a society that is expecting to get things like social security, pensions and payouts from retirement plans they have paid into for many years. All of those things will disappear almost overnight and leave society gasping and stupefied over what to do. Their reactions will be to yell and scream and try to identify who to blame but the only person they should blame is the one in the mirror.
Many very smart people have raised the alarm and done their best to warn the sleeping public, but those slumbering masses have ignored the warnings and hit the snooze button one more time. The masses do not understand economics, do not want to understand economics and they will pay dearly for that ignorance in the coming days.
When the real unemployment rate becomes common knowledge as it increases substantially, people will be left to survive on what resources they have saved up outside the banking system that cannot be stolen by the politicians and bankers. That is a key point here. The assets you have outside the system that cannot be stolen from you with a few key strokes on some computer.
Those hoping for some miraculous event that will send the U.S. back to the days of manufacturing might and jobs for all will never see it happen. Those days are gone. The west line theory tells us our economy will slow down and become more modest as the shipping center of the world moves west to the next powerhouse region which is Asia. This is what history teaches us.
When people suddenly wake up one morning and they have no job, their retirement is gone and they need to care for their family, what will they do? When government services have collapsed and they suddenly realize they are now living in a third world country with few government services, what will they do? When the banks are closed and only a select few connected people have any type of money or access to goods, what will they do?
This is the reality that many people will face in the future and they have no idea how bad it can get. They refuse to contemplate the harsh reality they will be living in and take steps to mitigate the effects. To do so would be to acknowledge it could happen and they are taking personal responsibility. Personal responsibility is a dirty phrase in today's entitlement society. To see some of the effects one only has to look at the collapse of society in Venezuela today to see what awaits.
When it happens it will all fall back to you to take responsibility for your family and take care of them for the duration. To do that you need to plan now for that eventuality and build up the resources you will need to provide food, shelter, clothing and security when the system fails to do it for you. You need to be Noah on his ark not the people watching as he floated away.
Having resources stored up is a must but it may not get you all the way through if the situation lasts for many years. That is why you need some type of plan to replace those resources as time goes by and have some way to generate some type of income or at least items to trade. Usable goods are for the short term and things like gold ,silver and production equipment are for the long term to help you get through the crisis with the least amount of pain.
Even with proper planning the days ahead will not be easy as the standard of living of society will fall substantially to levels only seen in failed third world countries or old pictures. The assets actually owned by people today is very small compared to how they live. They will default on their home loan, their car loan, and their credit card debt leaving them with very few real possessions and few ways to move what they have left even if they have some place to go. Ultimately these people will become the new serfs to the wealthy class that will take possession of anything of value. Feudalism will once again rule.
The lack of planning by society will make this a reality if it is allowed. What will you do when everything you have worked a lifetime for is suddenly taken away? Do you have a plan to keep what you have? Do you have a plan to make money when you cannot find a job? Do you have a way to take care of your family until things stabilize? Do you have a home you will not lose if the whole system breaks down? What will you do if electricity or fuel is too expensive to buy or not available to the general population? These are the questions you should be asking yourself now and you better have a good answer because your family will be asking them when the greater depression sets in.
America: The Future Third World Country
By: Tom Chatham
The purchasing power of Americans has been unequalled for the past several decades. This has been made possible by the high paying jobs created by our manufacturing sector. These jobs insured a wealthy middle class that could buy anything they wanted.
These high paying jobs meant that some of the wealth created by making things went to the workers. Before long, corporations began working on ways to keep more of that wealth. Enter the free trade agreement. By drafting and passing a number of free trade agreements, the corporations created a way to make their goods cheaper with overseas labor and keep more of the profit for themselves and their Wall Street owners. The deep pockets of the middle class began to dry up.
A thinking person might eventually come to the conclusion that destroying middle class jobs and the purchasing power of the middle class would be shooting themselves in the foot. With less income and purchasing power, the corporations would create a shrinking American market for themselves eventually. That is what we are seeing now.
So, what do you do when your cash cow begins to dry up? You turn it into hamburger. Just like all of the other third world countries that provided raw materials for these corporations to prosper, America will now become a supplier of raw materials for the next rising power to use. That rising power will likely be China with its large untapped populace. They have the gold and the manufacturing capability now. All they need is a good supply of raw materials and they can develop their own middle class and the corporations will be in the clover once again.
America is in debt up to its eyeballs but we still have large amounts of natural resources. Multinational corporations are chomping at the bit to get their hands on these resources so they can renew their ponzi economic model with another rising economy.
Between here and there they must break the American consumer and take everything they have and then get them out of the way so the strip mining can begin in earnest. When you look at the larger picture that is taking shape, that is where we are headed. Chinese corporations are gobbling up everything they can get their hands on right now all over the world including in America.
Those who say the U.S. will be invaded are a little late. The invasion has already started and the invaders have taken the form of corporations. If anything gets in the way of this resource extraction, that is when you will see the troops arrive under some pretence to help the people. Actually their main goal will be to secure the resources.
When troops start arriving that is when Americans will start fighting back by any means at their disposal. For all intents and purposes it will be an all out war on American soil. Regardless of what people perceive the reasons for this war to be it will ultimately be for resources.
You may ask why they do not just keep America prosperous and continue the gravy train. The main reason is that entitlement programs have gotten out of control. They are now spending too much money supporting people who do not work or produce any value in society. To simply take this money away would cause the same chaos that will erupt by destroying the economy but economic destruction will enable them to secure the resources with few people realizing what is really happening. Its all about controlling the amount of blowback from the people and the best way to redirect and contain it.
In the end America will become a third world economy or something worse. The people have the means to retain control of the nation and someday rebuild some of our infrastructure but that depends on the people and how much they want to remain free and in control of their future. As long as half of the population can get paid to sit at home and do nothing we will not change the course we are on. Change will only come when it is forced on the people and they decide to set a new course. Unfortunately, many may elect to do as they are told by the government and hope the free stuff will once again start to flow. Those people will be very disappointed, at least as long as they remain alive.
Economic Collapse Logistics For The Government
By: Tom Chatham
When a national currency collapses, the government goes into survival mode and does what is necessary to insure its continued existence. The state power becomes all important and citizens become expendable. The state exists for it's own fulfillment.
When the monetary system collapses along with the banks, the government will still need a way to pay government employees to insure they continue enforcing the governments will. If all government employees suddenly decided to stay home the few officials that remained at their desk would be ordering 300 million people around with no way to enforce their orders. To maintain control of the population it is necessary for government minions to continue doing their job of enforcement.
This means the government would need the means to continue fulfilling the needs of government employees to insure their compliance and obedience. As long as people get the things they need to survive day to day they will continue to do as ordered to continue that supply.
The government would need to insure that a payment system and banking system would remain functioning after a collapse. The banking system may not look like the current one but something would have to take it's place. Once the currency has failed it would be necessary for the government to issue a new currency. It may not be accepted by the majority but it is only necessary for it to be accepted by the government minions. This would allow the government to remain in control.
If the government employees know they will still be able to get food, clothing, gas and other items they need when normal citizens cannot, they will be inclined to stay on the job and do the governments bidding in order to maintain their standard of living. This would be a necessary control mechanism in the event of a collapse.
Once the banks collapse along with the currency, the FED could take over any bank branches necessary under the control of the Fed and issue the new currency through them. There may be some form of physical currency or it could be digital. Either way the government would have control over who gets any in the beginning.
The government would likely confiscate any resources it needed to fill "government stores" for the purpose of supplying government employees. The rest of the population would be left to get by on their own. In this event EO 13603 becomes more clear as the mechanism to take whatever the government needs to fill these stores and keep their people supplied. In a collapse physical goods become the only thing that matters.
Those that have the things government needs will likely be sent to camps and their property taken for government use. Those with special skills that are needed to continue the supply functions would fall under the control of government agencies and be subject to internment if they fail to do their jobs. Once government has control of critical infrastructure they can let the remainder of the country fight among themselves and do the governments job for them. The few who remain after a few weeks will be easy prey for the government.
I do not claim this will happen, only that it is one possibility in the event of a total banking collapse. Those in power will do whatever they must to stay in power. That much is born out in history. This is not meant to scare you but to make you think about the possibility of this event and plan accordingly should the worst happen. Should the government confiscate resources following a collapse, you will need to be two steps ahead of them and the general population in order to get through the events in one piece.
Many feel a collapse of any kind is impossible in the mighty USA but times change and anyone that fails to heed the warnings will pay dearly when events unfold and they find it is to late to get the supplies they need. People buy many types of insurance just in case. They save for retirement just to make sure. Then they ignore economic warnings that make all those things useless. The government helps people when it is convenient for them. The government has also shown its willingness and ability to take from people when it suits them. Any government big enough to give you anything you want is also big enough to take everything you have. And, they will eventually.
Good Investments For The Coming Year
By: Tom Chatham
With more and more people raising the alarm about a coming recession, and possible depression to end all depressions, it is only natural for people to think about where they should put the wealth they have been able to hold onto. If you still have any wealth to speak of after the past several years, congratulations. If any of that wealth is in paper assets that can disappear overnight, you really need to think about a safer place to store it in the coming months and years.
As they say, if you can't hold it, you don't own it. If the banking system shuts down due to hackers, enemy attack or government edict, any money you think you have could disappear quickly never to be seen again. At that point all you have to prove it ever existed is a piece of paper that no longer means anything.
We are heading into a rapidly changing future where nothing can be taken for granted. When the current social and monetary system ceases to function, you will need wealth in the form of physical items to get by from day to day. Wealth is the excess production you have to save for the future. It does not matter what form that wealth takes as long as it preserves value for future use.
In a serious crisis, wealth in the form of physical goods can mean the difference between suffering and getting by. In a crisis, physical goods are as good as cash when the time comes to trade for items you need. In today's crumbling system there are some notable goods that not only hold their value but can increase in value when times get tough and people scramble for limited resources.
These not only provide security and can put food on the table but they hold their value over time better than many items. They can be worth many times their original cost when they can no longer be bought due to the lack of a functional financial system or decaying social condition.
Like guns, ammo can be stored for many years and current social conditions seem likely to make ammo costs stay relatively high for many years to come. Like food, when you need it you will be willing to pay many multiples of it's original cost to get it making suppliers very important people.
Canning supplies-
Any disruption of the food distribution system for prolonged periods will force people to return to home canning to insure a food supply for their family. Most people no longer have canning supplies at home and when the time comes that they realize they need them, the cost will be very high if you can even find them. Anyone stocking extra canning supplies beyond their own needs will find them a good trade item when the time comes. Canning supplies like everything else will continue to rise in price in the coming years.
Gold and silver-
As the ultimate time tested wealth storage mediums, gold and silver will allow those that store them the ability to make good deals in the future when paper assets have lost all value. It does not matter if the price goes up or down, they always maintain their value through good times and bad. Today, price manipulation has made these metals available to the public at a major discount to their actual value but that will only last as long as there is confidence in paper. Those stocking up now will reap the rewards for their forward thinking .
Alternate energy systems-
When the grid goes down or energy prices spike at a time when many people no longer have meaningful employment, the ability to maintain energy in your home will mean a great deal to impoverished families. Generators are great but during a long term crisis, the ability to maintain power with a generator is limited. Even if you have a large supply of fuel your generator will likely fail at some point due to extended use. Solar and wind power systems offer the advantage of a one time expense and after that offer years of low or no maintenance to maintain power for critical systems such as lights and refrigeration. They are also much quieter than generators to avoid undue attention from the community.
Tools can come in many types and forms. Tools allow you to fix or build items you need. They also provide you with the means to provide services you can charge for giving you a business to fall back on if it is ever necessary. Good quality tools can last a lifetime and maintain their value over time.
How-to books-
Knowledge is power. When you have the proper knowledge you can write your own destiny. Knowing what to do and how to do it when everyone else is running in circles gives you a major advantage in life. Knowledge also provides you with the ability to use that knowledge for trade or business purposes that can earn you income for items you need. It is difficult to put a price on a good library.
In a crisis food is the ultimate currency. Regardless of what the social conditions are, people will need food. Since most of the population lives in urban environments today, they are dependent on food deliveries to stay fed. When that system fails those with excess food supplies or an ability to produce more will have a form of wealth they can use. Your money will actually be growing on trees.
There are many resources that you can store depending on your abilities and needs but these offer some of the best returns for the investment over time. The need to store wealth is for future consumption when you may not be able to earn the money due to age or economic conditions. The ability to invest some of your wealth now in items that will reduce consumption and supply your future needs is a winning proposition for most people. Only you can know what you expect from the future so you must plan accordingly now to avoid the worries later.

Four Revolutions in Global Philanthropy
Impact Economy Working Papers Vol. 1
The paper identifies and analyzes the four main fault lines that will influence the next few decades of global philanthropy. All are related to what we refer to as "the market revolution in global philanthropy". As global philanthropy moves beyond grant making and into investment approaches that produce a social as well as a financial return, a variety of what used to be niche activities will be accelerated into the mainstream. These activities seek to marry effectiveness, social impact, and market mechanisms.

The origin of food faddism is traced back to Elisha Perkins who in 1796 discovered the "secret of perpetual good health." It might be said that he was the first great American quack. Since that time, many others have come into prominence. The book does not try to catalogue fully every quack or faddist but merely to give the reader an informative glimpse into this overpopulated field. There are very few people at the present time who have not in some way been affected by curious nutritional concepts.
During the 19th century, very little was known about human nutrition. Medicine also seemed stalemated at this time although doctors were beginning to understand more about the human body and a great body of scientific information was being built. It was during this era that people such as John Harvey Kellogg and Charles Post were able to exert such influence upon the

Everyone wants to know what turns Mila Kunis on. Well, you can start by making her laugh.
"Humor is an amazing quality to have," the actress, 27, tells British Glamour when asked about attractive qualities in a man. "I like sarcasm, satire, self-deprecating humor. But I also think there's something to be said for not looking for anything and being pleasantly surprised."
Justin Timberlake – he's a funny guy. "He's incredibly funny, we laughed a lot on set," she admits. But the rumors aren't true, she adds. The Friends With Benefits costars aren't dating.
"[It's] an unfortunate thing that comes with the circumstances, but there's no truth to it whatsoever," she says.
And what about that on-stage grope at the MTV Movie Awards in June? That was the network's idea. "We thought it was hilarious, and we were promoting an R-rated comedy," says Kunis in the September issue of Glamour, on sale this Thursday.
In any case, Kunis has gotten used to being linked romantically with just about anyone. "Being single, I find myself not being able to be in a room with a man without, the next day, I'm dating that man," she says. "That happened for a solid six months [after Black Swan] when maybe – maybe! – I'd been in the same room."
"It's insane," she says. "Listen, I couldn't be happier to get any of this, because I think it's hysterical and it makes all my friends laugh. If somebody finds me attractive, God bless them, I think it's fantastic."

How do I get over it?
Haha.... I love this. It made me smile. Not in a sadistic way over your pain
But because I've literally just come away from an argument with my GF about the craziness of emotions.
And ohhh... yeah... that's insecurity alright! Welcome, welcome, to the insecurity pool...
Emotions are a strange and fascinating phenomenon. They can pop up at the most random moments, over the most random things. In fact, they usually do.
Sometimes, if we're living life in a safe model, we don't get to face these challenges as quickly as we might think. For whatever reason (and it's great), you never had jealousy over your husband. Very likely because you have the trust there and feel like your 'his favourite' and that he's yours. Fewer challenges.
With new people, the trust isn't there and you don't really know how they see you. It's not so safe or predictable.
It sounds like you've got a good sane handle on it, for a start! And that's the baffling thing about emotion - your rational brain knows that you are being crazy; even unfair... but part of you has this little nagging feeling.
I think that what you're experiencing is a normal reaction to a new situation - it's a new flag that's going to help you deal with your underlying little insecurities.
The insecurity being how you compare to other women. I can't promise that you will become a completely evolved, emotional robot... but at least if you can understand
you feel the way you do, you won't beat yourself up for feeling it.
The best thing you can do is activities that make you feel good, things that boost your ego a bit while it passes, then when the moments arise, just try to let them pass, breathe through them... make fun of them if you can... they are just your demons trying to mess with you

Chat with Jake Trotter
Welcome to SoonerNation! On Monday, writer Jake Trotter stops by to chat about everything Oklahoma.
Trotter joined ESPN.com in 2011 after four years with The Oklahoman covering OU and Big 12 football. Before that, he worked at the Austin American-Statesman and Middletown (Ohio) Journal. Trotter grew up in Oklahoma City and graduated from Washington & Lee (Va.) University.

Jake Trotter (4:03 PM)
OK, it's Bedlam week. Let's get this thing rolling.
Brother Mike (Tucson)
What early entries to the NFL do you anticipate for the Sooners (besides the Hammer)?
Jake Trotter (4:05 PM)
I think the Hammer (who by the way is a near lock to leave) is the only Sooner that ends up leaving early. Landry Jones is the only other real possibility, and I think he ends up staying. His stock is not as high as it could be, and I know he doesn't want to be in a long distance relationship during his first year of marriage to OU women's basketball player Whitney Hand. The two are set to get married next summer.
Gary (Fort Collins, CO.)
Is Blake Bell another Tim Tebow?
Sadieogrady (Del City, OK)
If OU beats OSU will we be co-champs, the way it was in the Big 8, or will it be a true one champion conference determined by head to head matches?
Jake Trotter (4:12 PM)
OU would be the one true champion.
Alyssa H (Washington Dc)
Jake, if the Sooners lose to OSU on Saturday, but the Cowboys jump Bama in the BCS, could we still go to the Fiesta Bowl?
Jake Trotter (4:13 PM)
No, I believe the Fiesta would take K-State in that scenario. Not sure the Sooners would even be eligible for a BCS game with another loss.
Robert (Tahlequah, Oklahoma)
What happened with Jazz and is it a long term problem?
Jake Trotter (4:14 PM)
Combination of attitude and off the field issues. This is the third time he's been suspended in two seasons. I would call that a long-term problem.
Randy (Jackson, Wyoming)
What is wrong with the OU defense. The secondary is getting carved up.
Jake Trotter (4:15 PM)
Inexperience at safety, lack of overall depth are two of the major problems.
chad (ada)
If OU wins bedlam, they will play who? If they lose, who will they play?
Jake Trotter (4:17 PM)
Win: Stanford in the Fiesta Bowl; Lose: either Cotton or Alamo. Cotton would probably be against Arkansas. Alamo, likely Washington.
Robert (Tahlequah, Oklahoma)
Does Trey Metoyer join the team in January?
Jake Trotter (4:17 PM)
From everything I hear, he should be enrolled for the second semester.
victor (monroe,louisiana)
Jake can you make some sense on the joe paterno case?
Jake Trotter (4:19 PM)
Paterno deserved to be fired. Child abuse is despicable -- anyone that would look the other way should be punished.
Alyssa H (Washington, DC)
Given how we've played late in the season, do you think Sooner fans should have concerns about next season?
Jake Trotter (4:21 PM)
Yeah, a lot of concerns. OU is not playing its best football right now. But this isn't the first time OU has entered Bedlam ailing. And the Sooners seemingly have found a way to win this game. We'll see if this club can do it, too.
SoonerVann (Chicago)
Jake, I think Venables, Heupel and Norvell need to go. With all the talent we had this year we should dominated on both sides of the ball. Even with injuries we had the depth to overcome if the coordinators were worth their salt.
Jake Trotter (4:23 PM)
What if OU wins Bedlam? Hard to fire coaches after they win a Big 12 title and go to a BCS bowl game, even after losing their best player to a season-ending knee injury. Has this been the coaching staff's best season? Certainly not. But it's way over the top to say both coordinators need to be canned.
Blake (Denver)
With OSU's struggles against the big, running QBs, do you think they we will see Bell more, not just red-zone?
Jake Trotter (4:23 PM)
Yes. I expect Bell to get 12-15 carries. OU is going to test OSU's interior run defense.
Joe (tulsa ok)
Hey Jake,I love the bell-dozer formation and it seems pretty unstoppable but do you think they run it too often? I have been telling my wife every game i think it is ridiculous that every time on the goal line they don't even give landry a chance...At least let him try on first down...also will this impact landry's decision on coming back next year?
Jake Trotter (4:25 PM)
I say run it until it's stopped. Remember, the Sooners were atrocious in the red zone with the regular offense earlier in the season. Now, OU scores TDs about every time inside the 10. The reason? The Belldozer.
Jake Trotter (4:25 PM)
No, the Belldozer will have no bearing on Landry's NFL decision.
bryant (lone grove)
Landry Jones. Stays for SR year or go Pro?Ronnell Lewis. Same question?
Jake Trotter (4:25 PM)
My prediction: The Hammer leaves, Landry stays.
Brother Mike (Tucson)
Do you think there's any chance that Bob fires Willie Martinez at the end of the season. We know how the secondary has looked at times this season and Bob and Willie had an awfully heated exchange during the Baylor game, which makes one wonder if Willie might be in trouble.
Jake Trotter (4:26 PM)
If any coach was going to be fired, it would be Willie for the all the reasons you just mentioned. But Stoops has never fired an assistant before. It's hard to see him starting now.
I'm not trying to make too big a deal of Blake Bell's INT against ISU, but what evidence do we have that he can someday be THE QB and not just a short yardage specialist?
Jake Trotter (4:27 PM)
We don't. And everyone that assumes Bell will automatically succeed Landry are getting ahead of themselves. Bell will have to show he's the best QB in OU's normal offense. That won't be the Belldozer.
TJ (Dallas)
Are our receivers that bad? How many drops Saturday? 10? We're gonna need to catch the ball vs OSU to score and put pressure on them.
Jake Trotter (4:29 PM)
OU was playing without its two-best WRs Sat. (Yes, Jaz is better than Stills right now). Getting Jaz back will help. But if the Sooners drop passes and are unable to sustain drives, they will get smoked Sat.
Trying to be objective here, but in what area is OSU better than OU? I'd break it down this way: passing game, push; running game, advantage OU; run defense, advantage OU; pass defense, push.....maybe give special teams to OSU. Am i just a big OU homer?
Jake Trotter (4:31 PM)
Big homer. I see the matchups this way:QB: OSURB: OSUWR: OSUOL: OSUDL: OULB: EvenDB: EvenST: OSU
Robert (Tahlequah, Oklahoma)
Who will be at TE for OU next season?
Jake Trotter (4:32 PM)
Austin Haywood, Max Stevenson and Laith Harlow.
BoomerSoonerBabyp (Moore Oklahoma)
Might OU & OSU get in BCS if we get the automatic bid and OSU get the at-large
Jake Trotter (4:33 PM)
That's possible. OU wins the Big 12 and goes to the Fiesta. OSU goes to the Sugar as an at-large.
Alyssa H (Washington, DC)
Is Stoops still quiet on the fate of is brother Mike's possible role at OU?
Jake Trotter (4:33 PM)
All quiet on the Stoops front.
Timmy (Ada)
Which team has the edge on defense going into this game?
Jake Trotter (4:34 PM)
OU still has the edge, but I don't know how big of an edge with the Hammer out and the secondary struggling. What the Sooners do have that the Cowboys don't is a big-time pass rushing end in Frank Alexander.
Brother Mike (Tucson)
Is there any chance the Hammer sees the field on Saturday? Bob's been misleading about injuries more than once this year.
Jake Trotter (4:35 PM)
I mentioned the very same thing last week. I have not heard a single thing to suggest Ronnell will play. But you're right, it wouldn't be the first time Stoops pulled off a misdirection with injuries.
Travis (Collinsville)
If Coach V takes a head coaching job do you think Mike Stoops comes back as the def coord? Would that really solve the issues in the secondary? I mean they would run the same scheme with a lot of zone coverage.
Jake Trotter (4:37 PM)
That's the most likely scenario that gets Mike back to Norman. Mike is a great secondary coach. There's no question OU would benefit from his presence.
What do we have waiting in the wings to get us excited that the defense can get better, particularly in the secondary? I'm actually pretty excited about what our offense could look like next year with Brandon Williams a year older and Dom Whaley back and healthy.
Jake Trotter (4:38 PM)
Julian Wilson, Quentin Hayes, James Haynes are intriguing prospects in the secondary, but if they were good enough, they'd be playing. You're right. Talent wise, the future of the offense is a lot brighter than the future of the defense.
joe (norman)
if landry returns, where would ou be among national title favorites next year?
Jake Trotter (4:39 PM)
Preseason Top 5, maybe higher.
eric (jones,ok)
hey jake, who do you like saturday? why?
Jake Trotter (4:39 PM)
Prediction will be up on SoonerNation Friday morning.
sean (St.Louis)
What do you think of the chances of O getting Dorial Green Beckham? Also I am seeing that OU is having problems getting top talent at the corner and safety and linebacker postions. How will they fix this problem?
Jake Trotter (4:40 PM)
The Sooners remain in the mix with Green-Beckham.
Jake Trotter (4:42 PM)
Corey Nelson was a big-time recruit at LB. DeVante Harris is a highly recruit defensive back the Sooners already have a commitment from.
Travis (Collinsville)
Not OU related but are you surprised Turner Gill has already been fired after only 2 years. Why didn't he succeed?
Jake Trotter (4:43 PM)
A little surprised, but Kansas was going in the wrong direction. Kansas is almost an impossible place to win at. Shows what a great job Mangino did while he was there.
Travis (Collinsville)
Any chance we can bring Mangino back to coach the OL. Our run blocking hasn't been the same since he left.
Jake Trotter (4:43 PM)
Given how things ended at Kansas, I don't know how comfortable the OU admin would feel about bringing Mangino back.
Robert (Tahlequah, Oklahoma)
How much is the weather going to factor into this weekends game? Who does it favor?
Jake Trotter (4:44 PM)
Could be a huge factor. Both teams are so similar offensively, I'm not really sure who will get affected most.
David (Sacramento)
What's the key to Landry beating the Pokes---he's been off----he may have to get out of the pocket more and run when he can--and more trick plays wouldn't hurt---it got Texas back in the game last week.
Jake Trotter (4:45 PM)
Limit turnovers, stretch out the defense with shots downfield, get some help from his receivers. I disagree, Landry has been playing well the last few weeks. He's holding this offense together. If OU wins this weekend, it will be because of him.
David (Sacramento)
It seems Landry has been off lately---he's telegraphing his passes---even with less talent now in receivers, the coaches should put him in higher percentage schemes----any thoughts?
Jake Trotter (4:47 PM)
Weather was the major issue against Iowa State. Hard to complete passes against 40 mph gusts. Landry seems off because he doesn't have the best WR in college football to throw to anymore.
Brother Mike (Tucson)
What do you think of Landry's progress from last year to this year?
Jake Trotter (4:47 PM)
He hasn't had the overall kind of season that I thought he might. I see a little bit of stagnation.
corey (edmond)
if ou played in a conference where there wasn't so many good qb's do you think there defense would be this criticized
Jake Trotter (4:49 PM)
People need to remember what kind of league the Big 12 is. Everyone gives up points in this league.
Brandon (OK)
Fellow Sooner fans, calm the heck down. The teams who have won a title since OU's 2000 victory are as follows:1) Miami - irrelevant and facing massive sanctions.2) Ohio State - Just went 6-6, facing significant sanctions.3) LSU - on top, but with a different coaching staff that was ridiculed as recently as last year.4) USC - facing massive sanctions, jury still out on Kiffin to some extent.5) Texas - 7-4 and happy to be there, has lost Red River twice in a row and totally lacks offensive identity.6) Florida - 6-6 and going nowhere.7) Alabama - Doing great, but didn't matter until Saban's arrival.We have it very, very, very good.
Jake Trotter (4:50 PM)
We'll wrap things up with that post. Thanks everyone for stopping by. Stay with SoonerNation for all your Bedlam coverage this week. Should be another great one Saturday.

I have read up on Uri and File type association for Windows Phone 8 Apps.
and its is clearly documented that there are some file types that will always be handled by a particular windows phone application.
But when you navigate to the photo gallery and select an image there is an option to "share" the image to apps that have seemingly been associated with that file type.
If you were to select a document in the office application you would see a smiliar share option in the context menu / app bar as well
How can my app also accept .jpgs / .pptx / .mp4 -s or other file types that are documented as being reserved, the same way the twitter or gmail app may receive an image being shared from the gallery?

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Booth Still Experiencing Concussion Symptoms

via Steve Gorten of the Sun-Sentinel,
Update on David Booth: He's coming along slowly and is expected to be at Incredible Ice tommorrow, but still has some post-concussion symptoms.
"It's going to be baby steps here as we go forward," Pete said. "It's too early to really be testing him on anything. With any kind of concussion like that, the first thing to do is to get rid of all the symptoms. Once he's symptom free you can start trying some different things and we're not to that stage yet."

Equipment: The Best Manual Citrus Juicers and Reamers
I ordered a Chef'n juicer in green ($4 cheaper, same size as yellow).... then cancelled after I read the very negative reviews on Amazon.
I use my juicer a lot, and the gist of the reviews is the plastic does not stand up to heavy use.
I wish you had reviewed the inexpensive stand presses that start around $60 on Amazon.

How to Make Angel Food Cake Even Better: Go Gluten-Free
I agree with Ananonnie on rice flour, avoid gritter western brands like Bob's Red Mill, use Thai rice flour, it's silky smooth. You could probably drop one or two of the other flours if you used more fine rice flour instead.
The Essential Tools for Homemade Pizza
One HUGE advantage of the Baking Steel over any kind of stone is the smell. Any kind of stone is porous, and once you have cheese overflow, or any kind of grease drip on it, it will FOREVER stink up your house every time you use it. There is NO WAY to remove that slowly smoldering stink that will forever come from your pizza stone.
Baking Steel has no such problem, you can drip all the cheese you want on it, a cheap plancha scraper works wonders. I recommend the Deglon Plancha Spatula because it's cheap, and fast.

The Food Lab Pronto: Soak Your Pasta for Easy Skillet Baked Ziti
I tried pre-soaking some small pasta for Mac n Cheese in warm salt water, it turned into a lump of dough.
I find it's REALLY important to use cold water, and be careful with thin pasta, or with pasta made from cheaper flour.
The Food Lab: For Easier Baked Ziti, Soak, Don't Boil Your Pasta
We keep pasta soaking in the fridge in a tub of salted water in the fridge. Grab a handful, add some butter, microwave with some sauce, and you have freshly cooked pasta in a couple minutes.
It doesn't seem to break down until 3 weeks in the fridge where the amount of starch at the bottom of the tub starts to look scary. Of course the heavier/thicker the pasta the longer it keeps before breaking down. Those little mexican shells made for soup seem to hold up really well.
The Food Lab: How to Make a Burger King-Style Whopper Fit for The King

Easiest Summer Ever: Tomato, Bacon, Mayonnaise, and an English Muffin
Sadly Thomas' changed their recipe to make them softer right out of the package, and extend the shelf life. They are now sort of pasty unless you toast them completely hard and dry.
My current favorite commercial English muffin is the Market Basket Premium. It doesn't have as much of the Thomas' taste, but it's much closer to an actual baked good than a failed science experiment.

Kenji's Best Fast Food Awards (A Totally Biased, Completely Incomplete List)
Sorry, but I've been finding McNuggets just as random as McDonalds Fries.
Sometimes they are crisp with a nice interior. Other times they are stale hard tough with a spongy dry interior.
The worst though are the rancid oil ones. They've got a serious quality control problem when the cooking fat is so far gone that it leaves a bitter tannic coating in your mouth, nasty.
The real shock is how well they heat up, just a 1/4 of oil in a fry pan, a minute or two each side gives you crunchy nuggets better than you ever get fresh.
How to Make Sichuan-Style Wontons in Chili Oil
Whenever I've had this in restaurants it was always too sweet for my taste, and completely overwhelmed the flavor of the wontons or dumplings. I think I would prefer it sauce on the side, and cut way back on the sugar.
This No-Knead Olive-Rosemary Focaccia With Pistachios Takes Just 15 Minutes of Prep
I've made this 6 times now, and I do NOT get a soft sponge like the picture unless I increase the water. With the less water I got a very tight crumb like white bread. I'm now using 380g water with 500g flour, and the results are excellent, large open crumb, chewy texture like a good ciabatta, incredible outside crust.
I've also stopped bothering with the forming step, I don't want to mess of flour all over the counter, and who cares if it's perfectly smooth?
I dump the dough right into the greased pan, push/pull it to spread out a little without deflating too much, then cover for an hour. I immediately refill the bowl with fresh ingredients (then I don't have to wash it!).
After the hour or two of proofing, I add toppings, set oven to 550F, and it finishes final proof while the oven warms up.
This No-Knead Olive-Rosemary Focaccia With Pistachios Takes Just 15 Minutes of Prep
I love that lots of items are in weight. Sadly, not the oil?
I hate to dirty a measuring cup, so I put the cast iron skillet on the scale and added 26g of oil for the bottom.
This No-Knead Olive-Rosemary Focaccia With Pistachios Takes Just 15 Minutes of Prep

I've had some excellent results putting dried pasta into cold water in the fridge for as long as a week. Then drain the slightly starchy water, add a little fresh water and salt.

When I last moved, and had NOTHING in the kitchen, I picked up a cheap non-stick skillet and spatula set at Walmart so we could have eggs the next morning. I still use that spatula years later (the skillet wore out in couple years).

New Hershey's Spread Is Giving Nutella Some Competition
Photo: Courtesy of Hershey's.
Move over, Nutella. Hershey's recently debuted its own version of Nutella in three delectable flavors: chocolate (duh), almond, and hazelnut. Considering the chocolaty empire has managed to create a new flavor and/or color for every season, this isn't exactly a shocking revelation — especially when you consider the revenue potential. "Over the past five years, sales of Nutella in the U.S. have more than tripled to $240.4 million, according to market researcher Euromonitor International," reports Fox News. That's a whole lotta spread, folks.
And, like Nutella, there are so many more ways to consume the decadent goodness (read: diet killer) than by the spoonful. According to Jezebel, a Hershey's statement listed pickles and pineapple as potential serving suggestions. If that doesn't get your taste buds eager with anticipation, check out its website showcasing photos of various creations submitted by enthusiastic fans. Temptations range from a DIY fondue to an English muffin topper. Not exactly the breakfast of champions, but whatever floats your boat — even if it's technically not even milk chocolate. (Jezebel)
