Financial Resources and Assistance for Homeowners

1 Financial Resources and Assistance for Homeowners You have estimated the amount of money needed to return to your home. If you have the resources, you can proceed with repairing or rebuilding. If you do not have the resources required for repairs or rebuilding, you will need to explore the availability of financial resources and housing assistance. Start by meeting with your disaster case manager, if you have one. See the Unit 2 of this toolkit for more information on finding and selecting a case manager. The following resources can help homeowners meet some of their unmet needs after a disaster. You may also be interested in the resources listed in Unit 9 of this toolkit. Remember, you will most likely have to be creative in pulling resources together. These are just some of the resources you should consider. Insurance Homeowners Insurance If you have homeowners insurance, it is advisable to submit insurance claims as soon as possible after the disaster. Disaster assistance programs may factor in any insurance settlements as they determine the kinds and amounts of benefits for you. However, you do not need to wait for an insurance settlement to apply for FEMA and/or SBA grants and loans. After you have determined what homeowners insurance would cover, continue exploring other resources to cover your unmet needs. National and State-Declared Disaster Programs If the President of the United States has declared a federal disaster or your state has issued a disaster declaration, you should look into applying for one or more of the programs outlined below. FEMA Individual and Household Assistance Program (IHP) FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) is the primary agency that helps families and individuals in disaster recovery. Individuals and households can apply for FEMA s the Individual and Household Assistance Program (IHP). You must apply to learn the full scope of assistance you can receive. This process is commonly called applying for FEMA. IHP assistance comes in the form of an award or grant that does not need to be repaid. Unit 6: Where will I live if I m a homeowner? 129
2 Here are some things to know about the FEMA application process: In most cases, if you are eligible to apply for FEMA assistance (the IHP Program) but do not do so, you then may not be eligible to apply for other critical assistance, such as the SBA lowinterest Disaster Loans Program, state disaster housing programs, or other assistance pro grams. If you are unsure of your eligibility for FEMA assistance, contact FEMA at FEMA. You can apply online for FEMA assistance at or by phone at FEMA. Please note, there will be a deadline for applying for FEMA assistance for your particular disaster. If FEMA grants are not available for the disaster or you are not eligible to apply for them, see the next section on the Home and Personal Property Loans offered through SBA s low-interest Disaster Loans Program. You may still be eligible to apply for the SBA low interest loan program if it is available. FEMA assistance programs and the amount of aid will vary by year and by disaster. The IHP maximum fluctuates with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) each year. In 2011 the maximum amount is $30,200. No matter how much damage your property sustained or how much personal property loss you incurred, your financial award will not exceed the current IHP maximum. FEMA will assign you a case number that other assistance programs may require for application to them. Always refer to your case number when you contact FEMA. You can contact the main FEMA number ( FEMA) to learn the status of your application and/or financial award. You can also set up an online account to access that information at the time of application or after. Call the number for instructions. If you question the amount of your FEMA award, you can ask for a re-inspection and appeal. You will probably be asked to provide additional information. Disaster assistance resources and programs build on each other. This method helps to maximize the benefits that go to survivors. To see how this works, refer to fact sheets later in this unit and to the following information. The Individual Assistance Sequence of Delivery fact sheet describes how assistance delivery works. Notice that if you plan to apply for insurance coverage you must submit your claim before you can apply for other forms of assistance. Then, with proof insurance benefits received (or not received), you can proceed with applying for other federal and/or state assistance, as needed. You should apply in the order shown from top to bottom on the fact sheet. The FEMA Individual Assistance Division Fact Sheet provides more information about the IHP Program, including details on the types of available help. This fact sheet is available in 13 languages. The English version is provided in this unit. For other versions, visit 130 Recovery After Disaster: The Family Financial Toolkit
3 Generally, more than one type of IHP assistance may be provided to a household. Only FEMA has the authority to determine which type of assistance is most appropriate for the household and the period of assistance to be covered. For more information about FEMA disaster assistance programs, visit Small Business Administration (SBA) Disaster Loans Program Home and Personal Property Loans You may wonder why SBA (Small Business Administration) is involved with disaster assistance for homeowners, since homes are not businesses. This is because in addition to helping businesses in disaster recovery, SBA also provides low-interest loan assistance to eligible homeowners, renters, and eligible non-profit organizations. As noted in the preceding section, even if you apply for FEMA assistance (an IHP grant) because your community is part of a federally declared disaster area, you can also apply for an SBA lowinterest home and personal property loan. What s more, even if your community has not been designated a federal disaster area, it may still meet the disaster declaration guidelines for the availability of Home and Personal Property Loans offered through SBA s low-interest Disaster Loans Program. If your community has not been approved for a presidential declaration, your Governor may still make a request for assistance from SBA. In this case, you may be required to apply for an SBA loan prior to or at the same time that you apply for state assistance. SBA offers low interest, fixed rate loans to disaster survivors, enabling them to repair or replace property damaged or destroyed in declared disasters. As of August 2010, qualifying homeowners affected by disaster could get a low interest loan for up to $200,000 to restore their home to its pre-disaster condition, and eligible disaster survivors could also apply for low interest personal property loans up to a maximum of $40,000. Eligible businesses can apply for up to $2 million for physical damages and economic injury. Although this toolkit is not focused on business recovery, it is important for those experiencing business losses to check with SBA for eligibility, as loan assistance could positively impact financial recovery. To file an electronic loan application for Home and Personal Property Loans offered through SBA s low-interest Disaster Loans Program, visit https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela/. To obtain more information, contact SBA: By phone: By or (TTY) SBA s website (www.sba.gov) provides more information. Type disaster loans in the search box to see more about this program. Unit 6: Where will I live if I m a homeowner? 131
4 If you have applied for FEMA assistance, you may also receive an SBA application in the mail. If you do, complete it. Send your completed SBA application to: U.S. Small Business Administration Processing and Disbursement Center Kingsport Road Fort Worth, TX After receiving your application, SBA will determine your overall eligibility and the maximum loan amount you can receive. Please note: applying for an SBA low-interest disaster loan does not mean you must take out the loan. Once accepted, you can choose to decline the loan or take out a loan for less than your allowed amount. Once you have the results of your loan application, visit with a financial counselor and/or a lawyer to be sure you understand the terms of an SBA low-interest disaster loan and how it will affect your financial future. Ask these questions before taking out a loan: How does this loan affect my financial future? (Be specific in your answers.) Can I afford another payment? How much of a payment can I afford? If I want to sell this property later, how do I meet the requirements of this loan? Refer to the Work with Financial Professionals section of Unit 3 for information on how to access needed professionals. Other State-Sponsored Grants or Loans States may establish other grant or loan assistance programs for disaster affected residents. Common examples are low interest loans or forgivable loans if you stay in your home (after a disaster) a minimum length of time. These loans, often but not always result from special legislation passed by your state legislature. This type of aid can help you pull together additional financial resources you may need. Stay informed. Call your legislator to find out if the state is sponsoring disaster recovery loans or grants. Note that in a federally declared disaster area, you may need to apply for FEMA assistance (IHP Program) and SBA low interest loans before you can apply for state loans or grants. To learn whether you are eligible for state grants or loans, call the number or office provided through the media or on websites. As noted, if a federal disaster is not declared, your state s governor may request assistance from SBA. In this case, you may be required to apply for an SBA loan before or at the same time you apply for a state funded loan or grant program. If there are disaster case managers working on your disaster, they will know how to contact your state legislator to find out the availability and details of state sponsored loans or grants.

5 Other Disaster Recovery Resources Volunteer Rebuild Program A volunteer rebuild program assists homeowners who request such help with supervised volunteers who provide the labor for repairing or rebuilding a home. Labor is a significant portion of the cost of rebuilding a home. Volunteers are screened for their building expertise and are assigned various tasks depending on their expertise. Although volunteers can perform a significant amount of labor in home restoration, state building codes may require that licensed electricians and plumbers do the electrical and plumbing work. You will need to calculate that cost in determining total construction costs. Check with disaster case managers, local officials, or the media to find out about the availability of a Volunteer Rebuild Program in your community. It may be a few weeks after the disaster before such a program is organized. Donations of Building Materials, Furniture, Appliances, Household Furnishings, Cash, and Gift Cards Post disaster donations may flow into the community from generous private donors, organizations, churches, corporations, and employers of disaster affected employees. It is important to know the ways to access donations, whether they are direct (cash or actual materials) or in the form of cards or vouchers, for example. Contact local officials or disaster case managers for information on types of donations being made to the community and how to apply for or access them. If you have a case manager, provide a list of materials or items you need so he or she can inform you of donations as they become available. Long-Term Recovery Committee (LTRC) Disaster communities that form non-profit long-term recovery committees (LTRCs) committees are positioned to apply for grants and receive monetary assistance and donations of all kinds for individuals and families to meet their unmet needs. These local, non-profit committees are made up of community members from churches, community organizations, and helping agencies. If your community has established an LTRC, you may be able to apply directly to the committee for the type of assistance that you need. Typically, the application process allows for confidentiality and a case manager may work with you in the process. LTRCs focus on the community s recovery and are often active for up to two years after a disaster. See the Obtain Assistance from a Long-Term Recovery Committee section of Unit 3 of this toolkit for more information. (To download the complete toolkit, visit Unit 6: Where will I live if I m a homeowner? 133
6 Faith Community or Organization Sponsored Financial or Rebuild Assistance Faith communities and organizations may come forward to assist individuals and families who wish to rebuild. The types of assistance offered by such groups vary. If you have a disaster case manager, tell him or her you are interested in this kind of assistance. If you belong to a faith community or similar organization, you can personally tell the group what you need. This assistance may come in the form of monetary gifts, donations, or fundraisers. Personal Assets Before using personal assets, ask yourself: How will using these assets to meet my current needs affect my financial well-being in 10 years? Here are some personal assets you may consider using: Savings and/or money market funds. Certificates of deposit. Employer-sponsored retirement savings programs. Annuities and tax deferred annuities, such as Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA). Owned real estate (besides your house). Personal property with financial value that is easily marketed and sold. Please note that some of these options may carry tax or penalty consequences. For example, retirement savings programs such as 401(k)s or 403(b)s, will be taxed when withdrawn. If they are withdrawn before age 59½, they will carry an additional 10 percent penalty. Annuities have designated surrender periods and there may be tax consequences. Talk to your tax professional and/or a financial counselor to determine the pros and cons of using assets like these. Family or Friends Family or friends may be an option to either help you financially or help you to clean-up, repair or rebuild your house. 134 Recovery After Disaster: The Family Financial Toolkit

European football chiefs have confirmed they are investigating 40 cases of suspected match-fixing in the Champions League and Uefa Cup.
Uefa reveal the scale of match-fixing investigation
European football chiefs have confirmed they are investigating 40 cases of suspected match-fixing in the Champions League and Uefa Cup. Peter Limacher, head of disciplinary services for Uefa, said the matches being looked at were early qualifying games that took place over the last four seasons, 15 of them in the last two years. Uefa have beefed up their early warning system to protect against illegal betting and match-fixing, and started a special investigation to clamp down on the problem.
"Right now it's mainly eastern Europe clubs being investigated," Limacher said. "They know they are not going to be involved later in the tournament and they are going out, so decide, 'Let's make a profit'. In the cases we have seen, it's really the deliberate planned fix of the games, the whole games. First the result at half time then after 90 minutes. It might take some time [to convict] but in cases where we can work together with the police that might be possible."
Limacher revealed the scale of the investigation after Uefa announced last month that three Macedonian clubs were being probed after banning FK Pobeda from European competitions for eight years. One of the fixtures under suspicion is FK Milano's 12-2 aggregate loss in July against Croatia's Slaven Koprivnika in the second qualifying round of the Europa League, the new name for the Uefa Cup. Limacher said Uefa were building a network of informers across Europe to detect match-fixing. "The Macedonian case was solved from informers and I want to find people with a strong amount of justice," he said. "They could provide us with information."

Mixed-Fruit Cornmeal Cobbler
Pastry chef Megan Garrelts tops this cobbler with superlight biscuits made with a mix of corn flour and fine cornmeal. Garrelts uses a mix of raspberries, plums and cherries, but you could certainly switch it up to include your favorite mix of summer fruits.
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 8
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup corn flour
- 1/4 cup fine cornmeal
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/3 cup cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup water
- 8 cups raspberries, pitted cherries and sliced plums
- Heavy cream, for brushing
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
- Lemon thyme sprigs
- Whipped cream, for serving
How to make this recipe
Make the biscuits
In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, corn flour, cornmeal, sugar, lemon zest, baking powder, baking soda and salt; pulse to blend. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. With the machine on, drizzle in the buttermilk. Turn the dough out onto a work surface and knead just until it comes together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter a 3-quart baking dish. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough 1/2 inch thick. Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, stamp out rounds, rerolling the scraps.
Make the cobbler
In a large bowl, mix the honey with the brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and salt. Stir and add the cornstarch mixture, then add the fruit and toss gently. Spread the fruit in the prepared pan and top with the biscuits. Brush the biscuits with cream and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Bake until the fruit is bubbling and the biscuits are golden, about 45 minutes. Garnish with lemon thyme and serve warm, with whipped cream.

Despite being told that the June 12 comprehensive plan steering committee meeting was not to discuss annexation, about 25 residents attended the public meeting and one voiced his opinion about annexation.
Dan Lang of The Lang Gang Inc. began by telling the crowd that the session was not to address annexation but added that visitors were welcome to stay.
The Lang Gang is the consultant hired to develop the city's new comprehensive plan.
The most recent public input meeting and voting session for the comprehensive plan's draft goals was held Wednesday, June 6.
A total of 172 people returned surveys. Of those, 142 identified annexation as their principal concern, Lang said.
"Because this a comprehensive plan, it's comprehensive in scope. Annexation is one part of that, but quite frankly a very small part," he said.
Parks and recreation, economic development, land use, civic improvement, transportation and other infrastructure focus topics are all components of the comprehensive plan.
Just before the transition into a discussion about the city's street plan, Charlie Schroepfer, who has been vocal about annexation, addressed the committee.
Schroepfer suggested that a "no annexation" goal be added to the list of comprehensive plan goals.
"A lot of people showed up at those meetings who didn't want annexation in Washington. I think no annexing in this comprehensive plan is important to the people of this area, not only out of town, but in town," he said.
He noted there is a lot of industrial land that is vacant as well as retail and residential land.
"If we annex, what are we going to do to the people who own these properties? Are we going to put them out of business? We're going to affect them in a big way," he said.
Schroepfer also brought up one specific goal from the comprehensive plan, calling it a "super major issue" for himself and a large group of people in Washington. The goal was listed in the parks/recreation/open space group and is "to preserve and protect special open spaces resources such as floodplains, wetlands and stream corridors."
"When you put open space on private property you kill the value of that property," he said.
Lang explained that "open space" refers to special open space resources.
"We're talking about wetlands, floodplains — we're not really talking about pedestrian networking. We're talking about stream resources and things typically communities are looking to protect," Lang said.
Lang also again explained the purpose of a comprehensive plan.
A series of objectives will be formed to meet each goal.
A total of 42 draft goals across six different topics were identified.
Schroepfer said there was "confusion" through the whole process.
Darren Lamb, community and economic development director, said people were confused because they were told the steering committee meeting was an annexation meeting.
Steering committee members agreed that people thought the meetings were about annexation.
"If the people's voice don't count, then why were we invited?" Schroepfer asked.
Lang said he values the public input and that their voices were heard.
"Whether or not that voice becomes a part of the comprehensive plan becomes the decision of the steering committee," he said.
Lang noted that there will be additional opportunities for public input through the process through two additional meetings.

Transcript: AG Eric Holder calls House contempt vote 'irresponsible' & 'politically motivated'
Edited by Jenny Jiang
Transcript of remarks by Attorney General Eric Holder on the contempt vote taken by the U.S. House of Representatives on June 28, 2012:
"Good afternoon. Today's vote is the regrettable culmination of what became a misguided – and politically motivated – investigation during an election year.
"By advancing it over the past year and a half, Congressman [Darrell] Issa (R-Calif.) and others have focused on politics over public safety. Instead of trying to correct the problems that led to a series of flawed law enforcement operations, and instead of helping us find ways to better protect the brave law enforcement agents, like Agent Brian Terry, who keep us safe – they have led us to this unnecessary and unwarranted outcome.
"During this time, the men and women of the Department of Justice – and I – have remained focused on what should and must be our government's top priority: protecting the American people.
"When concerns about Operation Fast and Furious first came to light, I took action – and ordered an independent investigation into what happened.
"We learned that the flawed tactics used in this operation began in the previous administration – but I made sure that they ended under this one.
"I also made sure that agents and prosecutors around the country knew that such tactics must never be used again. I put in place new policies, new safeguards, and new leadership to make certain of this – and took extraordinary steps to facilitate robust congressional oversight.
"Now, let me be very clear – that was my response to Operation Fast and Furious, and any suggestion to the contrary is simply not consistent with the facts.
"I had hoped that Congressional leaders would be good-faith partners in this work, and some were. Others, however, have devoted their time and attention to making reckless charges – unsupported by fact – and to advancing truly absurd – truly absurd – conspiracy theories.
"Unfortunately, these same members of Congress were nowhere to be found when the Justice Department and others invited them to help look for real solutions to the terrible problem of violence on both sides of our Southwest Border. That's tragic, and it is also irresponsible. The problem of drugs and weapons trafficking across this border is a real and significant public safety threat – and it deserves the attention of every leader in Washington.
"In the face of these and other challenges, the Justice Department has continued to move forward in fulfilling its critical law enforcement responsibilities. Whether it is with regard to prosecuting financial and health care fraud, achieving a record mortgage settlement, taking aggressive action in protecting the most vulnerable among us, or challenging proposed voting changes and redistricting maps that would potentially disenfranchise millions of voters – this Department of Justice has not been afraid to act nor have I been.
"Now, some of these enforcement decisions were not politically popular and help to explain the actions that were taken today by the House.
"As Attorney General, I do not look to do that which is politically expedient – on behalf of the American people whom I am privileged to serve, I seek justice.
"In recent weeks, the Justice Department secured its seventh conviction in the most serious terrorist plot our nation has faced since 9/11.
"And just two days ago, the Department awarded more than $100 million in grants to save or create law enforcement jobs, including more than 600 jobs for recent veterans.
"This is the kind of work that leaders in Washington should be striving together to advance. At a time when so many Americans are in need of our help, I refuse to be deterred from it. And I will not let election-year politics and gamesmanship stand in the way of continued progress.
"Today's vote may make for good political theater in the minds of some, but it is – at base – both a crass effort and a grave disservice to the American people. They expect – and they deserve – far more.
"As a result of the action taken today by the House, an unnecessary court conflict will ensue.
"My efforts to resolve this matter short of such a battle were rebuffed by Congressman Issa and by his supporters. It's clear that they were not interested in bringing an end to this dispute or obtaining the information they say they wanted. Ultimately, their goal was the vote that – with the help of special interests – they now have engineered.
"Whatever the path that this matter will now follow, it will not distract me or the men and women of the Department of Justice from the important tasks that are our responsibility. A great deal of work for the American people remains to be done – I'm getting back to it. I suggest that those who orchestrated today's vote do the same."

Jynx was a Gear soldier in the Coalition of Ordered Governments army who participated in the Battle of Anvil Gate.
Battle at Anvil GateEdit
- "Jynx!!!"
- — Anya, shouting for Jynx as he gets beaten to death
Seventeen years after Emergence Day, Jynx was part of a convoy of Gears led by Lt. Anya Stroud to assist the garrison at Anvil Gate when it came under attack by Locust forces. However, the convoy was ambushed by the Locust and Jynx's vehicle was overturned. He was set upon by a Locust Grenadier, who ripped off his arm and beat him to death with it as Jynx screamed in agony.[1]

Philly flipping over Sixers
By Maryclaire Dale, The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA Sixers fans who sweated through the
team's 107-101 squeaker over the Lakers in the first game of the NBA finals
are celebrating with street antics, sweets and 76-ounce steaks.
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Daily News continued
its string of 76er covers Friday, this one under the headline, "The Best of
Times." The cover shows the hand on a statue of former Mayor Frank Rizzo waving
a Sixers flag, with City Hall in the background.
Following the Game 1 upset, the tabloid taunted the favored
Lakers with a Thursday cover that blared, "Sweep This!"
Daily News editor Zack Stalberg, whose tabloid has
published 22 straight covers on the team, said the 76ers are the kind of scrappy
underdogs for which the city is known.
"These people are real Philadelphia. They're too small
and they're beat up, and they're playing on broken legs, and they start out
unpopular and the next thing you know, you're in love with them," Stalberg
Sports commentators had generally expected the Lakers to
roll over the injury-plagued Sixers, but Philadelphia prevailed in overtime
in Game 1 of the best-of-seven series.
"Why aren't you honking your horn? Aren't you a Sixers
fan?" one fan yelled at a Center City taxi driver moments after the game, which
ended at 12:30 ET Thursday.
League MVP Allen Iverson finished with 48 points, despite
being closely guarded in the second half by Laker sprite Tyronn Lue.
Although Iverson spent his 26th birthday Thursday in Los
Angeles, getting ready for Game 2 Friday, students at the Restaurant School
of Philadelphia put their culinary skills to work baking him a cake, which they
cut at a public birthday party.
At Smith & Wollensky, a steakhouse inside the Rittenhouse
Hotel, the kitchen is offering a 76-ounce porterhouse for $76 during the finals.
At $1 an ounce, it's a bargain compared to the $10-an-ounce Kobe beef, a nod
to Lakers star and Lower Merion native Kobe Bryant.
"Either the Sixers fans can have a piece of Kobe, or for
the Lakers fans, it's just an alternative to the 76er-ouncer," said Pat English,
the restaurant's general manager.
While the Lakers glided to the finals without a playoff
loss, and had a long respite before Wednesday's game, the ragtag Sixers fought
tooth-and-nail to get through.
They made it to the finals for the first time since
1983, when they swept the Lakers 4-0 despite Eric Snow's fractured ankle,
Allen Iverson's painfully-bruised tailbone, George Lynch's broken foot, Dikembe
Mutombo's broken pinkie and Matt Geiger's quadricep tendinitis.
Arnold Goldberg, who as a teen sold Eagles T-shirts outside
of Franklin Field, expects his sports apparel company to sell hundreds of thousands
of Sixers jerseys during the finals.
"We were in L.A. last year for the Lakers, we were in L.A.
for the Dodgers, and the excitement doesn't exist to the same degree ... as
it does with Philadelphia fans," said Goldberg, president of Missouri-based
SportsWon, which has set up 15 temporary stores in the region to sell clothing
and trinkets.
Stalberg said some of the Sixers covers have boosted the
paper's normal daily 150,000 circulation by 20,000 to 38,000.
A May 30 cover, fast becoming a classic, superimposes Snow,
Mutombo and Iverson on the three wounded Revolutionary War soldiers in the Archibald
McNeal Willard painting "Spirit of 76." The headline, which ran as the Sixers
battled the Milwaukee Bucks, reads "Spirit of 76ers."
Stalberg said that support for the Sixers is uniting people
in the city who are often divided by race, class or conflict.
"Sports, and especially a winning team, seems to be the
only thing that draws people together anymore. It's such a fractured world,"
he said.

I just wanted to post a recipe for Charlie's most missed food (as told to us by Charlie in Confidence Man).
Banoffi Pie Recipe (to serve 8-10 people)
- 12 ounces uncooked shortcrust pastry
- 1.5 tins condensed milk (13.5 ounces each)
- 1.5 pounds firm bananas
- 375ml of double cream
- Half a teaspoon powdered instant coffee
- 1 dessertspoon caster sugar
- A little freshly ground coffee
- Preheat the oven to gas mark 5 (400F, ). Lightly grease a 10in x 1.5in flan tin. Line this with the pastry thinly rolled out. Prick the base all over with a fork and bake blind until crisp. Allow to cool.
- The secret of this delicious pudding lies in the condensed milk. Immerse the cans unopened in a deep pan of boiling water. Cover and boil for 3 hours making sure that the pan does not boil dry(see CAUTION).
- Remove the tin from the water and allow to cool completely before opening. Inside you will find the soft toffee filling.
- Whip the cream with the instant coffee and sugar until thick and smooth. Now spread the toffee over the base of the flan. Peel and halve the bananas lenghtways and lay them on the toffee. Finally spoon or pipe on the cream and lightly sprinkle over the freshly ground coffee.
- It is absolutely vital to top up the pan of boiling water frequently during the cooking of the cans. 3 hours is a long time and if they are allowed to boil dry the cans will explode causing a grave risk to life, limb and kitchen ceilings.
Hint - Banoffi is a marvellous "emergency" pudding once you have the toffee mixture in your store cupboard. We therefore suggest that you boil several cans at the same time as they keep unopened indefinitely.
Many thanks to The Hungry Monk restaurant who made this recipe and are kind enough to share it for the world to enjoy. :)

A hot topic in the Cognitive Science and Early Childhood sphere these days is autism. With prevalence rates rising and more American families encountering ASD, surrounding issues, such as healthcare, early intervention, and diagnosis also become topics of importance.
In fact, California Senator Barbara Boxer recently assembled hearings on the "State of Research on Potential Environmental Health Factors with Autism."
The numbers revealed in the hearings would indicate that there is a component to autism, however small or large, that is associated with the environment. Experts agree that the primary explanation for the dramatic increase in autism is toxic environmental exposure and gene-environment interactions. New research shows that even low-dose, multiple toxic and infectious exposures may be a key factor to the onset of autism (Barrie, S 2010).
Dr. Isaac Pessah, Director of the UC Davis Center for Children's Environmental Health, was recognized at the hearing hosted by Boxer. Dr. Pessah conveyed that many of the molecular and cellular systems associated with autism are also the target of environmental chemicals currently of concern to human health because of their widespread use, especially in the US.
While we are still searching for specific factors in linking the environment and chemicals to autism, it is important that parents remain vigilant in what they expose their children to, and avoid contact with items that contain high levels of toxic chemicals.

Melrose Park
Education institution attending
This topic has been updated with 2016 Census data for the LGA or other primary area only. What's this?
21% of people in Melrose Park attended an educational institution in 2011.
The share of Melrose Park's population attending educational institutions reflects the age structure of the population, as it is influenced by the number of children attending school; proximity to tertiary education, which can mean young adults leaving home to be nearer to educational facilities and; the degree to which people are seeking out educational opportunities in adulthood, especially in their late teens and early twenties.

Okay I have a very complex theory that hurts my head when I think about it, but I'm going to share it with you. Before I say my theory about what happened when Juliet detonated the bomb, I am going to list some other theories and say why they are impossible.
THE BOMB DESTROYED THE POCKET OF ENERGY AND FLIGHT 815 NEVER CRASHES: This is what Jack thought would happen but it is impossible. If Oceanic 815 never crashes and they never come to the island, then how could they go back in time to destroy the energy and stop themselves from crashing?! I don't think Jack thought this through...
THE BOMB DIDN'T DESTROY THE ENERGY AND THEY CRASH ANYWAY: Come on, it's a HYDROGEN BOMB! I don't think there's a chance that it didn't destroy the pocket of electromagnetic energy.
THE BOMB CAUSED THE INCIDENT: This is a good theory but wasn't the incident a leak of electromagnetic energy caused by drilling into the pocket. Nobody ever mentioned a hydrogen bomb.
MY THEORY: Okay, this is extremely complicated. I think... when jughead exploded it DID destroy the energy and something else crashes the plane onto the island. On the island everything happens almost exactly the same except for things that have to do with the pocket, for example, because the swan station was never built to bottle up the energy, Kelvin and Radzinsky are killed in the purge, and when Desmond washes up on the island after the storm maybe the others find him, or he lives alone on the island like Danielle Rousseau. Anyway, The freighter comes the island so Ben has to move the island which causes the time flashes and the survivors end up in Dharma-times. Only, this time it wasn't the electromagnetism that brought down the plane so they don't drop the bomb and destroy the energy. Instead they try to stop whatever brought the plane down in this timeline but don't destroy the energy and that starts the whole thing all over again but this time it WAS the electromagnetism that brought down the plane in 2004. So there are two different timelines that link together to create a massive loop. Let's say the monster brings down the plane in the second timeline. In the first timeline the electromagnetism brings down the plane so they destroy that in the past but not the monster. In the second timeline the monster brings down the plane so they somehow (lol) destroy it in the past but they don't destroy the electromagnetism.
Um, do you have any questions?

Lily Allen Lost Her $300,000 Chanel Wedding Gown, But Only Briefly
Cover your ears, Karl Lagerfeld.
Lily Allen recently admitted that one of her two wedding gowns, the one designed by Karl himself, went missing temporarily. The "Hard Out Here" singer took to Twitter today to say the dress, worth an estimated $332,000, has now been found however.
Lily, 28, who wed Sam Cooper in June of 2011, initially said the Chanel dress she wore at her reception (pictured below) was MIA when a fan asked her a question during an appearance on 4Music with Miquita Oliver.
When asked what the most expensive item of clothing in her wardrobe is, Lily replied: "There's two bits to this answer. One is that it's not in my wardrobe, it's missing. And two, it's my Chanel Couture wedding dress that's worth about £200,000."

Today, Lily announced on Twitter that everyone can just chill because the pricey piece has been located.
OK, EVERYONE RELAX, I FOUND IT !!!!!!!!! A couple of weeks ago now. http://t.co/JuJFXLXs0C

Lily's third studio album, Sheesuz, will be released on May 5th, 2014.

Keswick Realtors
Keswick realtors are some of the best real estate agents to hire, because we are always keeping track of the Keswick home listings and Keswick listing prices. Some people ask why we need realtors and the answer is easy, Keswick realtors are hired to list homes and condos and commercial properties to assist the client. If it wasn't for realtors all over the GTA people would have a hard time with the fine prints of all the paper works and the assistance with a professional Keswick realtor to pass on the experience.
How do Keswick realtors help when hired to list a home?
Well, most realtors would first and foremost establish a listing price for the home; this is usually called a Keswick free home evaluation. After the home evaluation is complete, it is important for the realtor who is listing the home to find out as much information about the property as possible. The next step is real estate advertising of the property for sale, whether in Keswick or Newmarket or any other area. The most common advertising is the MLS system, where all the Keswick MLS listings can be found. MLS is the most popular website for houses for sale in Keswick. Although the other number one website would be the century 21 website used globally throughout the world.
Keswick Real Estate advertising is important to the listing the more traffic driven to the house for sale in Keswick the better the chance is of selling the listing. Also advertising doesn't necessarily mean that it must be computerize or in the newspaper, although these are good open houses are generally the ways to go when trying to sell the house.
There is many more techniques Keswick realtors use, however what's left up to the expert should be left up to the expert.

Staff Sgt. Alfred Moss was an early bodybuilder, circa 1900. Believe it or not, Moss' tattoos often disqualified him from several contests despite his obvious muscularity. Sergeant Moss was considered the Strongest man in the British Army, once jerking a 56-pound blockweight 100 times in 2 minutes 52 seconds. Moss went on to write several training courses covering the parallel bar, vaulting horse, indian clubs, rings, tumbling and other gymnastic subjects.

How do Shaolin Monks train their abs? Here's one way: this fellow is hanging upside down with his legs over a tree branch. He fills a small cup with water from the jar below him, sits up, and dumps it into a bucket which hangs above. No sets and reps needed, the workout ends when the bucket is filled.

Irvin 'Zabo' Koszewski on the cover of the April, 1952 issue of Ironman Magazine. He finished 5th at the 1952 Mr. America Contest although to no ones's surprise, took home the 'Best Abs' subdivision. Zabo was a safe bet for an Abs trophy, in fact he won "Best Abs" in every bodybuilding contest he ever entered, including four times in the AAU Mr. America contest and three times in the Junior Mr. America Contest.

A look at The Michigan State Normal School Gymnasium in Ypsilanti, Michigan, circa 1894, the year it was built. This impressive red brick building was located across the street from the Water Tower in Ypsilanti (and if you have been to Ypsi, you know exactly where this is). This gymnasium was divided completely in half, the North half reserved for women and the South half for men. The Michigan State Normal School eventually became Eastern Michigan University, and unfortunately, this particular building was demolished in the mid-1960's.

In August of 1950, Milo Steinborn attended the Chicago fair and the AAU Mid-States Weightlifting championships which was going on as a featured attraction during the Chicago fair. During a break in the action, they held an impromptu elephant lifting contest. None of the other lifters could budge "Tommy" an 800 pound baby elephant but Milo, 57 years old and still wearing his Sunday best, stepped in and gave him a little ride. (Tommy doesn't seem to happy about it.) FYI, Norb Schemansky won the Mid-States heavyweight lifting title with a 910 lb. total and Jim Park won the Mr. Central U.S.A bodybuilding contest, also held that day.

United Airlines May Be Poised to Drop One of its Hubs
The Motley Fool
Adam Levine-Weinberg
There's a growing contradiction at United Continental:
On the one hand, the United Airlines parent company has maintained its commitment to capacity discipline. In the face of weak unit revenue trends, United is holding domestic capacity growth below 2% this year. On the other hand, the company admitted last month that domestic capacity cuts have caused United to lose market share in its hubs over the past five years. It believes this has hurt its unit revenue.READ MORE

OHM Concession and The Conley Financial Group
Donate to AMAC Foundation
A shared commitment to support young people interested in careers in the airport industry has partnered The Conley Financial Group and OHM Concession Group in a new AMAC affinity program scholarship fund. The two companies recently made an $850 donation to the AMAC Foundation.
"We expect this donation to be the first of many," says Kathy Conley-Jones, LUTCF, enthusiastically. Conley-Jones is head of the St. Louis, MO-based The Conley Financial Group, a nationally certified MBE and WBE firm offering multi-line insurance and financial services. Her company provides clients with group employment benefits, commercial insurance, personal lines, life insurance and travel protection programs.
Conley-Jones conceived the AMAC Insurance Benefit Program 2013 after meeting AMAC members who attended that year's conference in St. Louis. "These intrepid members came to our city on the heels of a big tornado that had created havoc here," she recalled. "I was a broker for the St. Louis Airport at the time and a member of the conference welcome committee. I was impressed by the group and I wanted to do something to help out."
She worked with AMAC leadership and her insurance partners – CHUBB, Colonial Life and Nationwide, she notes -- to create an affinity program which gives discounts on their products to AMAC members. The program was announced at the 2014 AMAC Airport Business Diversity Conference in Denver.
"Our goal was to create a program that would generate AMAC membership, heighten name recognition for the organization, assist AMAC business members with their insurance costs and ultimately return a portion of those savings back to the community through a scholarship fund," she says.
Milan Patel of OHM Concession Group was one of the first to sign up for the program. OHM, founded in 1997, has grown to become one of the most respected ACDBE non-traditional concession operations company in the industry. With 18 different food service concepts in 11 airports across the U.S., the business was honored this year with the Airport Revenue News (ARN) Award for Best DBE Business.
In presenting the scholarship award to the Foundation, Patel and Conley-Jones noted, "what AMAC is doing is so important, we are pleased to be able to spearhead this AMAC affinity benefits program to support AMAC's scholarship initiative."
