The Facts About The Doritos® Locos Taco—And About An American Hero
With any luck, when the origin myth of the Doritos® Locos Taco is whispered to schoolchildren generations from now, they will know the name Todd Mills. He was an Air Force vet, a former Bill Clinton escort (y'know, the good kind), a father of two, and one among possibly thousands of Americans who dreamed drooly dreams about the marriage between two American icons of chemical gastronomy.
The only difference is that Mills—who passed away on Thanksgiving morning at age 41—did something about it. In recent days, he's been hailed as a dreamer and a crusader—but what you've heard is only half the story.
The saga starts four [...]

It is easier to maintain a high standard of productivity when seated comfortably. In the process of selecting executive chairs and church chairs, attention should be paid to materials, style and special features. No matter what your practical and aesthetic concerns are, you are sure to find a number of great chair choices from Hertz Furniture.
Do students need ergonomic school chairs?
In the educational environment, it is particularly important to provide children with ergonomic classroom seating because this arrangement enables them to learn how to write and sit properly. Our student chairs are designed to be supportive for students and appealing in your learning space. We have classroom chairs with hard plastic or polypropylene seats that are contoured to promote natural, healthy positioning.
Where can I get colorful chairs?
Hertz Furniture has lots of colored student chairs to choose fromSchool chairs can be used to integrate new classroom colors or coordinate with other furniture. They come in a wide variety of shades so you can match virtually any hue. You can order a full room's worth of matching furniture, or a variety of options to add some diversity to the space. Educational Edge wooden preschool chairs offer a winning combination of vibrant tones and attractive, sturdy natural wood.
The right school chairs must be appropriately-sized for the students in the class. We have chairs in every seat height you might need from preschool to high school and beyond. As an added convenience, many chairs have the option of an attached book basket underneath the seat where notebooks, textbooks and other class materials can be stored. This position keeps everything accessible without creating a distraction.
While the general studies classroom is the home base for students throughout the day, there are other rooms where appropriate seating is required as well. Many student science labs and art rooms have counter-height tables and workstations, so they require special seating which enables people to reach work surfaces comfortably. Lab stools and art stools are designed to enable students to work from a comfortable position. Whether they are creating a masterpiece or conducting experiments, they are sure to benefit from proper support.
Which chairs will look nice and fit in my storage closet?
When congregants come to attend a service or special event, they will want to focus on the content rather than their physical surroundings. Stacking chairs can serve as cushy banquet chairs or church chairs so members and guests can enjoy ample padding as they worship or listen to a sermon. They come in a huge selection of colors and upholstery patterns which will match virtually any space or style.
If you are using stacking chairs as church chairs, it is a good idea to order a model that includes ganging devices. Ganging makes it easy to create long straight rows which are ideal for services and ceremonies. When you are hosting an awards dinner or formal banquet in the social hall, stack chairs can be adorned with our elegant chair covers for an upscale appeal that is worthy of the occasion.
Visitors, employees and clients will have a much nicer experience with your company when they enjoy proper seating in your work space. Every part of an office needs great seating including the reception room, executive offices and training rooms. With a wide range of guest chairs, office chairs and training room chairs, the furniture for each space in your office can be selected carefully according to your personal requirements.
How do I choose an ergonomic office chair?
Knowing how to choose an ergonomic office chair is the first step toward a lifetime of pain-free productivity. Hard-working executives and entry-level workers who spend many hours working at a desk need proper ergonomic support in order to make it through the day. Improper seating can lead to pain, discomfort and even medical problems that will eventually cause an employee to miss work and be less productive. Modern ergonomic office chairs come with a host of adjustable features that enable each person to create a custom fit for optimal positioning.
Working at a desktop for many hours can lead to specific physical challenges and pain when one is not positioned properly. Our mesh back computer chairs provide healthy ventilation with personalized adjustments for height, seat angle and tilt-tension control. These supportive features work in conjunction with our sleek modern designs to bring you digital-era seating that is equally suited to a startup or well-established legal firm.
Should I get a traditional executive chair?
For those who prefer the classic touches of traditional design, we offer great choices as well. Luxurious leather office chairs will make any executive look and feel like a high-class professional. Our models come from reliable manufacturers including High Point and Better Built Quality. You can enjoy the winning combination of durable builds and classic features including vinyl upholstery that is tufted with individual, hand-driven brass nails, complemented by a deep wood base.
Partners and vice presidents aren't the only people who need a place to sit in the executive office. If the company president or school principal has a large personal office, chances are that this space is often used for meetings, interviews and consulting sessions. When a guest or client comes into this personal workspace, they also need a place to sit. With some cozy guest chairs, everyone can feel comfortable. Guest chairs can be selected to match wood hues of other furniture in the space, or complement wall colors.
Many companies host professional-development days and training sessions for current and incoming employees. Training room chairs ensure that there is proper furniture for all of your seminars. For your convenience, models are available with casters for easy positioning and folding capabilities for compact nesting. This gives temporary seating the feel of permanence.
Should I get waiting room chairs?
First impressions can make or break a deal. With attractive reception chairs, you can ensure that everyone who enters your work space, school or house of worship is properly impressed. From cozy club chairs to traditional captains chairs, all will appreciate the seamless integration of supportive padding, attractive upholstery and stately wood finishes.
At Hertz Furniture, we understand the value of a comfortable and attractive chair. No matter which room you are furnishing or which style you aim to project, you can find excellent seating options in our collection. With the right office chairs, school chairs or church chairs, your institution will become a fast favorite that stands out from the competition.

Lesro also brings you great conference tables and library furniture. Their products are Made in the USA and come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, so you are guaranteed to enjoy this innovative, high-quality furniture for many years to come. Liven up your reception area, office, conference room or library with the simple elegance of Lesro.
The reception seating experts offer an unbelievable selection of lounge chairs and reception chairs. No matter what size waiting room you have, you can easily find some appropriate reception seating from Lesro. Models are available with and without arms. They can be ordered as individual units or as long rows of attached seats. A selection of fabrics enables you to coordinate lobby chairs with any decor or color scheme for a well-matched professional space.
Reception area furniture is about more than just seating. When visitors come in to your business or institution on a cold or rainy day, they will also need a place to hang their coats. The waiting room is the ideal space for a coat rack because visitors can easily pick up their outerwear as they exit your workspace and won't have to carry around jackets as they hunt for an appropriate place to put them. Lesro coat racks come in both freestanding and wall-mounted models. While free-standing units have a classic old world charm, wall-mounted hooks leave more open floor space.
The versatile design of Lesro chairs makes them a perfect fit for virtually any part of a work space. Swivel office chairs can be used by professionals as they sit at their desks throughout the workday. If you need a temporary solution for seminars or multi-purpose areas, some guest chair models are also stacking chairs, so they can easily be put into storage or transported from place to place.
Great guest chairs will also fit well in a library around some wooden study tables. If you are tired of the same old school library furniture, and are looking for a way to update your space, new library chairs can get the job done. Let students and employees take advantage of comfortable padding and liven up your space with a uniform upholstery hue or some vibrant complementary colors.
In addition to experiencing the reception area, many clients, colleagues and potential donors will spend significant amounts of time in a company's conference room. When negotiating a company merger or long-term contract, you want to make sure that this critical venue has a comfortable yet professional atmosphere. Some attractive and cozy guest seating will keep all meeting attendees properly supported so they can focus on the discussions that are taking place. Appropriate seating will demonstrate the competence and financial stability of your company or institution.
High- and low-back swivel office chairs are also a viable option for conference room seating. They will help meeting attendees find a more comfortable position, as their design promotes flexibility and movement. Casters make office chairs easy to arrange and move around when setting up your space.
Whatever the size of your conference room is, you need a conference table so everyone can lay out notes and important documents. Conference tables come in a number of shapes including racetrack, octagon, boat and oval. Solid wood tables are super sleek and sturdy. They create a serious atmosphere that is conducive to tough negotiations and discussions of critical decisions.
Demonstrate the professional competence and aesthetic sense of your company or institution with reception furniture, conference tables and library furniture from Lesro. The simple elegance of each model can fit a company of any style or size. If you need help narrowing down the choices or choosing the perfect upholstery colors, contact the Hertz Design Center for free project-planning advice.

Hyperion watched Aira with little amusement as he looked the demigod with a smirk still. "Oh and you think that killing your parents and friends will be cool enough?" he asked not noticing that Remigio got Felix free.
"I guess I'll carry you then," he muttered as he went to wrap Felix's arm over his shoulder. Swallowing he bit his lip and looked at the fires and then at the ceiling. He recalled hearing something about Erebus not being able to help them but as he looked around he guessed that it was because of the fire. "Do you know if there is someway to make these fires go out. Maybe Erebus can get us out. " he said as he looked at the lingering shadows above them. Unlike with normal shadows the ones above them didn't collect the light that was coming from the fires below.

Felt Gnome Tutorial
The Original post for these gnomes can be found HERE. Check it out!
Here's how to make felt gnomes. These are the traditional Waldorf style gnomes. They are simple and faceless, quick to make, and can easily populate your gnome abode in hours!
Important Note: People turnings (wooden pegs) are not all created equal. Even pegs bought from the same company can be slightly different. I highly suggest you make a copy of the pattern, cut it out of paper, and "try it on" your wooden pegs. Make adjusts to the paper pattern before cutting out your felt.
Wool felt pieces - two colors
6 strand embroidery floss or pearl cotton
People turnings (wooden pegs) - You can purchase at Wee Folk Art Market Place
Adults 2 3/8" x 7/8"
Children 1 11/16" x 5/8"
Craft glue
[1] Cut hat and cloak out of color A and body wrap out of color B.
[2] Glue body wrap to people turning. Match bottom edge of wrapping with bottom edge of turning.
[3] Blanket stitch the outer edge of the cloak using 6 strands of embroidery floss.
[4] Wrap cloak around the body slightly overlapping in the front at the neckline. Use 6 strands of embroidery and satin stitch closed.
[5] Blanket stitch the lower edge of the hat using 6 strands of embroidery floss.
[6] Following pattern, overlap hat edges to create cone. Pin together and use 2 strands of matching embroidery floss to sew together. You can either use a blanket stitch or a running stitch.
[7] Place a line of crafting glue on the inside of the hat near the edge. Position the hat on the gnome tilting it slightly backward.
[8] Give your gnome a name and introduce him or her to your household!
Thank you for this great pattern. I was looking for a straightforward gnome pattern and it was perfect. I made some gnomes for Valentine's Day for my blog and I mentioned your fantastic site and added a link to this post. Thanks for sharing this with everyone. Here is my blog link, http://www.howtorunahomedaycare.com/articles/valentines-day-felt-gnome-t...
Thanks for supporting the wonderful world of Waldorf.
Our first gnomes
My 3 wee ones and I made ourselves 3 wee gnomes! I've been pouring over this site, absolutely enchanted by all the gnome sweetness. When I read through the direction for them, I realized that I had all of the materials already, minus the peg, and a quick trip to the hobby store got me all set up. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
So horribly adorable it hurts
So I made a pair of adults because I just couldn't resist how stinking cute they are. I also made a pumpkin and mushroom pincushion to go with them. I had a genius idea from the person that posted about the gnome house and I'm going to try to find a birdhouse or one of those bug catcher wooden house things and make a gnome house out of that. I made my gnome bodies from clay because I couldn't find the pegs and I needed these on a time crunch. I made them a little tiny smidgeon too big so I had to find a way to resize the hat and cape. Wasn't too bad. Now my friend wants a set and a house for christmas. I can't wait to make them. Soon as I'm done with the other 10 projects I'm working on. Also my BF saw them and wants me to make him a Dallas Cowboys gnome.. how the heck.... well.. We'll see. Thanks for the inspiration and adorable gnomes.
my first gnome
I just made my first little gnome today. She is so cute, and small! I don't have any pictures of her, yet, but when I do, I'll try to post one. I love your Waldorf inspired Gnomes! Yours don't have any faces. Is that by choice, or are Gnomes supposed to be faceless?
Thank you so so very much
I just wanted to give you a huge thank you for these patterns. I stumbled across your site a few days ago and became so excited over all the gorgeous projects you have shared. I have made several little gnomes and little flower friends I would love to show you a photo. I have never sewn before, but I I had to learn once I saw how charming your little toys are. My little girl loves to play with them she calls them her beautifuls. Here is a picture of mine.
Thanks a lot
I was also wondering about gifts for my children. We have a tight budget so we also decided to make the trees and a Gnome family for 2 of my daughters. ilan ver I showed my husband the tree pattern and he said
It helps that I my first love
It helps that I my first love with a hobby is origami. My fingers are used to small little details. Thanks again. I have lots more to make.
My first gnome
I just made my very first gnome (for a swap) and used your pattern. Since I had never made one before, it was a great way to get started! Though I don't think I will use it again, since I like to work free-handed once I know what I'm doing. But I wrote a post about it, and linked up to your site for the pattern. I'm sure it would help others who are not sure where to start, like me :)
Thanks so much for sharing all your creativity!
Thank you, these are great!
Thank you, these are great! Here are mine: http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj166/jamiecatheryn/gnomes.jpg

Gnome Awesomeness it is!!
Thanks for sharing Mama!! It's soo over time that I dressed up our little people -
THANK YOU for the INSPIRATION!!
Gnome Home
These are adorable. I made a wee family last night, skipping the stitched edges for time's sake, and they are still the cutest little things ever. I also crocheted a little home for them from this site. It's wonderful. I will try to post pics.
Great tutorial!
These are great! I am making my first pair and hoping to make many more! I do have a question, however. How long do you leave glue to dry and what do you use to press felt to the body while drying? I tried using rubber band but it left terrible marks. Also the glue really seeped through felt and left noticeable spots (I used all-purpose glue, which is suitable for wood and fabric), do you have such problem? Right now I just glued the ends to the body and laid it on this side to dry, we'll see if it will hold!
Thank you for your thorough
Thank you for your thorough reply! It actually dried and holds fine just by the edges but I will go and find Tacky Glue. I will post photos of my gnomes soon!
I have just made a spring one
I have just made a spring one and going to make the baby tomorrow. Its so exciting and have added them to my Easter tree and Easter table display. I have most of today looking at this website and its amazing. Will be making lots more...going to try the Easter eggs next
Thanks so much for this website!!!
Felt Gnome Tutorial
I tried these. The girls love them. I now have to try those leprachauns! You are so generous with your ideas and tutes!
Thank you soooooooo much for the amazing and inspiring gnome pattern! i have been making them for many loved and treasured spirits!! They will forever be a part of my life!!!!
You will have to excuse me. I
You will have to excuse me. I just discovered your blog and I'm going nutz. So many things to see. I have long admired all the little gnomey things I've seen on line, but until now I hadn't thought about making my own. They look easy. I'm going to get some pegs and give them a try. I want to make rainbow ones.
I LOVE these gnomes!! I have made tons in the last few weeks. I had been making them for myself( just to decorate with) when my 4 yr old boy, Fisher, fell in love with them. He's asked for one in every color. I made a modified flower fairy with a pointy hat that has a brim. (Sort of a witches hat.) Super cute! Thanks for all your wonderful patterns. We have projects for months!
felt gnomes
I'm trying these tonight for my daughter's birthday. I'm not very crafty so very nervous. Thank you for your detailed pictures and instructions!!
Thank You
WOW~I just found your site through the Woolfelt Central people. Your stuff is amazing~thank you so much for sharing your wonderful patterns. This is the stuff that I just love!! Thank you again so much~I really love your patterns. :~)
Making Different Little People
Do you know if you could make different little people from this pattern? I have all boys in the family and I really don't think gnomes would be "tough" enough for them. Me, personally, I love them! Totally cute! But the testosterone wins.
I was wondering how to make pirates or cowboys and if you had any ideas.
Love your site. Just added you to my bloglist. :D
Making Different Little People
Oh yay! I will check in! I've never been crafty before, not really, but hey, being broke taps things inside that may not have ever surfaced before. :) Long live creativity! I've already been looking at the turnings at Casey's... but I think my hubby could make them... he's a carpenter. I wonder if dowels would work, to spin them down on a lathe... I'll ask him.
Love those trees
I wasn't sure what to make my kids for christmas but they are both getting a Gnome family thanks for this. I love those trees in the background. Do you have a pattern for them? I'm trying to talk my hub into a scroll saw.
Graet people
I was also wondering about gifts for my 6 children. We have a tight budget so we also decided to make the trees and a Gnome family for 2 of my daughters. ilan ver I showed my husband the tree pattern and he said
Yes..the trees
I was also wondering about gifts for my 6 children. We have a tight budget so we also decided to make the trees and a Gnome family for 2 of my daughters. I showed my husband the tree pattern and he said , "No problem."
Yeah! I have the Felt Wee Folk book by Salley Mavor and my girls love it. I am glad to find this site!
Please post more pictures of Gnomes and fairies if you have any!
Gnomey Secrets
I ordered a bunch of felt sheets and cord yesterday after i discovered this site. I just love all these gnomes and their accessories. The kids already love them just by looking at the pictures. Thanks.
Pattern won't download
I've spent half an hour waiting for the pattern to load for the Gnomes and for the Knight & Squire...the computer for some reason won't load them. Would you be able to send them to me via email?

It was the first time Reed won the varsity competition and it did so in convincing fashion, winning six of the seven weight classes to outscore second-place Reno 34-24. Spanish Springs was tied for fifth with seven points.
"What it represents is the hard work these kids have put in year round. It's an opportunity for them to show how hard they worked," Reed football coach Ernie Howren said. "This year we felt we had a legitimate shot at winning the whole thing with the group we had coming back."
Each lifter performs a max weight lift in the bench press, squat and clean. The total amount of weight lifted in the three lifts determines the winner in each weight class.
An additional measure of strength is the exponent, which is determined by taking the total weight lifted and dividing that by the lifter's body weight to get the ratio. A ratio of in the 5's is impressive, but Reed had a couple competitors take that to a whole new level.
Seniors David Hibler and Chad Gray won their respective weight classes. At 147.6 pounds, Gray lifted a total of 935 pounds to win the 165-pound weight class by 50 pounds. His exponent number was 6.33.
Hibler's exponent number was slightly better at 6.35 and he won the 145-pound weight class by 150 pounds. He broke two meet records with a squat of 395 pounds and a clean of 280 pounds to help him total 915 pounds.
"David Hibler and Chad Gray both had ratios over six pounds, which is amazing," Howren said. " Anytime you're in the 5's, you're having a great year. But to have two kids both getting over six, that's just amazing. It's just a great work ethic on their part."
Reed lifters broke two more records. Senior Jared Emerson's clean lift of 320 pounds set the record and helped him win his 205-pound weight class, while senior Broc Westlake's clean lift of 335 pounds was a record for the 225-pound weight class in which he won. Emerson was named the Outstanding Upper Level Lifter, while Hibler was chosen as the Outstanding Lower Level Lifter. Emerson was the lone competitor to out-lift the opposition of his weight class in all three lifts.
Also winning their weight classes for Reed were junior Carlos Pinto at 185 pounds and senior heavyweight Jeremy Macauley.
Eric Looc took second in his 125-pound weight class.
The Raiders won the JV competition two years ago, while finishing third at the varsity level. Last year, they moved up a spot to second in the varsity competition. That just motivated these seniors to come back and prove they could win it all.
"I'm so proud of them with the way they continue to work hard throughout the year. They still had that goal that they wanted to come back for the lifting competition," Howren said. "Especially the seniors that competed for us at the tournament, they wanted to come back and prove to everybody they could win this thing. They came so close to winning it last year. It was just a goal of theirs, going back to last year when they finished second."

I have taken this for ma uncle..... it's performance wise price wise better than any other product in this group..............
i will recommend ma frnzs and circle to use it......
I bought it 26th jan.2012 night and got it delivered by 28th morning. Way to go Flipcart.
Nice product it was easy to unpack and start using straightaway. The build and instructions are well crafted. Specially liked the way instructions are placed on the calf band. Though I would have preferred a slightly longer chord to connect to the display unit, this also works.
Accuracy is more or less good. Though not sure about the /-4% claim. as I am no doctor and nor do I have someone in family with expertise/equipment on manual method of measurement.
generally predicted within /- 8 to 10 mmHg on multiple ratings. The measurement time is decently fast. Generally 3 consecutive ratings should give you an accurate enough result.
Final verdict very nice product for the price point.
I had purchased this product through Flipkart. Its more than 3 months and I am very much satisfied with the performance.
I have read many reviews which says the readings are inaccurate.My suggestion to those, please refer the manual and use the instrument properly.
Most of the people don't bother to locate Artery (Blood vein from heart) and place the cuff wherever and whatever orientation they feel, which is wrong. Its clearly indicated that the mark for Artery should be right above the Artery. Believe me it was the mistake I did for few days and after consulting my friend who is a doctor I found the reason behind in accuracy. Now I get fairly precise reading which differ not more than 2-5 units in successive readings.
Those who have already bought this product please try the procedure as per manual, you will be surprised to see precise readings.
product is good and worth buying... although sometimes accuracy varies but almost it always shows right measurement,, its handy .. easy to use.. good for home use... and for regular checkup..
Using a defective medical check instrument is like eating a wrong medicine. Reliability of a well calibrated and reliable BP monitor is as essential as consuming genuine medicines.
I was suggested by my doctor daughter that it is would be a good idea to possess a BP Monitor at home. We surveyed the Net and zeroed down to Rossmax MJ701F Digital - Upper Arm BP Monitor.
It is a reliable well calibrated and tough instrument.
Any time any one in the family suspects of high or low BP, instead of calling or running to a doctor, it is better to posess a Rossmax MJ701F Digital - Upper Arm BP Monitor. We observed that the calibration of
Rossmax MJ701F Digital - Upper Arm Bp Monitor is excellent and additionally it also shows Pule Rate.
I have bought this product for my father and gifted him i was very impressive we the packing and features but found huge difference between the readings there was a difference of nearly 20 digits. I seriously don't suggest anyone to go with this brand this is not reliable product to buy.
this one is very reliable and is being used by my family members on regular basis. Often changes registered by the meter prompt...Read More
As always...d packng, d delivery..everythng ws superb..keep it up flipkart & kp providng this type of hassle free service.....Read More

Your location: Home > > REDD > Methodological Guidance
According to the FAO (2005), deforestation, mainly conversion of forests to agricultural land, continues at
an alarming rate of approximately 13 million hectares per year (for the period 1990–2005).
Deforestation results in immediate release of the carbon originally stored in the trees as CO2
emissions (with small amounts of CO and CH4), particularly if the trees are burned and the slower
release of emissions from the decay of organic matter. The IPCC WGIII (2007) estimated emissions from
deforestation in the 1990s to be at 5.8 GtCO2/yr. The IPCC also notes that reducing
and/or preventing deforestation is the mitigation option with the largest and most immediate carbon stock
impact in the short term per hectare and per year globally as the release of carbon as emissions into the
atmosphere is prevented.
The agenda item on "Reducing emissions from deforestation in developing countries and approaches to
stimulate action" was first introduced into the COP agenda at its eleventh session in Montreal
(December 2005). The governments of Papua New Guinea and Costa Rica, supported by 8 other Parties,
through their submission FCCC/CP/2005/MISC.1,
requested for this issue to be taken up on the agenda. This proposal received wide support from Parties
and there was general agreement on the importance of the issue in the context of climate change mitigation,
particularly in light of the large contribution of emissions from deforestation in developing countries to
global greenhouse gas emissions. The COP established a contact group on this item which drafted
conclusions on initiating a process to address the issue of reducing emissions from deforestation.
This page presents information and the status of negotiations of this agenda item from the most recent
development at the SBSTA to outcomes from previous sessions. It also provides an outlook on the agenda
item at the next session.
Outlook for SBSTA 39 (November 2013)
At its thirty-ninth session, the SBSTA will continue its work on the following matters, on the basis of the
elements contained in the annexes I and II to the conclusions of SBSTA 38:
The SBSTA aims to complete its work on these matters at this session and preparing any recommendations for
draft decisions on these matters for consideration and adoption by COP 19.
Refer to FCCC/SBSTA/2013/L.12,
annexes I and II.
Outlook for future sessions
At its fortieth session, the SBSTA will continue its consideration of:
The SBSTA requested the secretariat to organize an in-session expert meeting at SBSTA 40 on matters relating
to non-market-based approaches and to prepare a report on the meeting for its consideration at its
forty-first session.
At its forty-first session (December 2014), the SBSTA will consider the need for further guidance on the
issues referred to in decision 12/CP.17,
paragraph 6 (issues relating to safeguards).
Submission of views
SBSTA 38 invited Parties and admitted observer organizations to submit their views on several matters for its
consideration at its future sessions.
The SBSTA invited Parties and admitted observer organizations to submit to the secretariat, by 26
March 2014, their views on the following matters for its consideration at its fortieth
session (June 2014):
For its consideration at its forty-first session (December 2014), the SBSTA invited:
SBSTA 38 (June 2013)
SBSTA 38 continued its consideration of methodological guidance for activities relating to reducing emissions
from deforestation and forest degradation and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and
enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries. (Refer to the conclusions of this agenda item
contained in FCCC/SBSTA/2013/L.12
and Annexes I and II).
At this session, the SBSTA completed its work on several matters related to the work programme referred to in
decision 1/CP.16, appendix II and to
decision 12/CP.17, paragraph 5. It
decided to recommend draft decisions on the following matters for adoption by the COP at its nineteenth
(Refer to FCCC/SBSTA/2013/L.12/Add.1,
for the draft decisions)
Measuring, reporting and verifying
It continued its work on a draft text on modalities for measuring, reporting and verifying. As referred to in
decision 1/CP.16, appendix II,
paragraph (c), on the basis of the addendum to the SBSTA 37 report (FCCC/SBSTA/2012/5/Add.1),
which contains elements for a possible draft decision on these matters. (Refer to FCCC/SBSTA/2013/L.12,
annex I).
Forest reference emission levels and/or forest reference levels
It initiated work on guidance for the technical assessment of the proposed forest reference emission levels
and/or forest reference levels, as requested in decision 12/CP.17, paragraph 15. It
considered a draft text containing elements for a possible draft decision on guidelines and procedures for
the technical assessment of submissions from Parties on proposed forest reference emission levels and/or
forest reference levels. (Refer to FCCC/SBSTA/2013/L.12,
annex II)
The SBSTA, in recalling the guidance in decision 12/CP.17, paragraph 2,
encouraged developing country Parties to:
The SBSTA also encouraged developing country Parties and observer organizations to share, via the Web Platform on the UNFCCC website, their experiences
and lessons learned from the development of systems for providing information on how all the safeguards are
being addressed and respected and the challenges they face in developing such systems.
Drivers of deforestation and forest degradation
On addressing drivers of deforestation and forest degradation, the SBSTA:
Non-market-based approaches
The SBSTA noted that non-market-based approaches, such as joint mitigation and adaptation approaches for the
integral and sustainable management of forests, as referred to in decision 2/CP.17, paragraph 67, are
important to support the implementation of the activities referred to in decision 1/CP.16, paragraph 70.
The SBSTA further noted the need for clarity on types of non-market-based approaches related to the
implementation of the activities referred to in decision 1/CP.16, paragraph 70, and
whether further methodological work could be needed.
Non-carbon benefits
On non-carbon benefits, the SBSTA agreed that:
It also took note of ongoing work on non-carbon benefits under other international organizations and
REDD outcomes at SBSTA 35 - 37
REDD outcomes at SBSTA 29 - 34
REDD outcomes at SBSTA 24 - 28

While this behind the scenes clip doesn't actually explain the video (what is it about?), it's pretty cool to see how everything was shot.
Go behind the scenes for Foster The People's Call It What You Want below and check out the full video! Don't miss Rogers Presents: Live At Much w/ Foster The People this Wednesday at 7pm ET!

Cellar/Tasting Notes Invictus Reserve is the Big Brother of our popular Invictus label. Concentrated and robust, it's a wine of great finesse and class. Aged in oak barriques, this stylish Cab exhibits a deep purple color with a Medoc-like nuanced nose of cassis, Bing cherries and charcoal. It has a palate-coating..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Very polished tannins that caress the palate. Full body. It's fruity, pretty and refined. The mineral and berry character comes through in a subtle way. Second wine of Pichon Lalande
Cellar/Tasting Notes Dark red fruit, menthol, spices, licorice and plums meld together in the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich, layered and textured, the Cabernet Sauvignon has plenty of vintage 2009 juiciness, but firm, well-integrated tannins provide a gorgeous backbone of structure. The style is bold, juicy and direct,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Pietradonice is beautiful in this vintage. A wine more of Montalcino than a true expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2010 is delineated and vibrant from start to finish. Savory herbs lead to black plums, tobacco, mocha and crushed rocks on the firm, vibrant finish. I am not a huge fan..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The creation of Super Bowl-winning coach, Dick Vermeil and his winemaker Paul Smith, the 2008 vintage of the Jean Louis Vermeil Cabernet Sauvignon is a mouth-filling, plush Bordeaux style blend. Concentrated, with smooth tannins, it gives off waves of black cherry aromas and licorice flavors, well..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2009 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a complex wine with berry and floral aromatics and a lovely structure. It has a dark, ruby color and a vibrant nose of black cherry, wisteria and sweet baking spices. On the palate, the wine is elegant and expressive and echoes the berry,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova saturates the palate with masses of super-ripe dark fruit, tar, licorice and new leather. The Tenuta Nuova is an especially full-bodied, seamless Sangiovese deeply influenced by the Mediterranean climate of this warm site in the south of Montalcino...
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Les Pagodes de Cos is also a remarkable offering. Composed of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, it tips the scales at 14.5% alcohol, and is better than most Cos d'Estournel vintages produced in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. It is a full-bodied, opulently concentrated..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Although tasty, the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa is slightly less intense and powerful compared to the 2010. It reveals supple tannins, abundant black fruit and spice notes, and an easy-drinking yet seriously endowed, medium to full-bodied personality. Drink it over the next decade."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon isn't quite as sexy right now as the Cabernet Franc but it, too, has plenty of stuff going on. Juicy dark berries, cassis, spices, pencil shavings, licorice and mint all take shape in this generous, radiant, totally inviting wine. A dark, authoritative finish rounds..

"Blackberry" aims to be a premier literary magazine featuring African-American women writers and artists.
"No black woman writer in this culture can write 'too much.' "- bell hooks
Breathing Life into a Dream
BLACKBERRY: a magazine aims to be a premier literary magazine featuring African-American women writers and artists. Its goal is to expose readers to the diversity of the black woman's experience and strengthen the black female voice in both the mainstream and independent markets.
The goal of this campaign is to be able to fund the production of 4 issues (to be produced quarterly) of both print and digital editions of BLACKBERRY: a magazine, as well as a corresponding website.
* * *
Why now?
I spent 4 weeks in New Orleans napping, eating cake, laughing with family and watching Alfred Hitchcock every night before bed. I really needed this visit. My body needed it. My mind needed it. My heart needed it.
I first visited New Orleans in 2009 and it did not take me very long to fall in love. The weather is fantastic—75 degrees in November?! Yes, please! The people are the friendliest: I don't often laugh with the drive-thru girl or the garbage man. The culture is so rich: African, French, Indian; Louis Armstrong and Tennessee Williams.
There really is no other place like it.
So I could not wait to visit the New Orleans Museum of Art. Though housed in a beautiful building with a nice collection, I was disappointed that a city with such a large black population did not have a significant representation of black artists.
It just did not compute.
The feelings I felt that day were the same feelings that have been sitting with me for the past year: disappointment and confusion. After having a conversation with a friend about the need to help women of color gain access and give them exposure, I decided that it was time to act.
BLACKBERRY: a magazine is born out of my passion to giving others a voice. It will give African-American women a new platform to share their art. Our voice is one that is often silenced, and BLACKBERRY: a magazine will be our megaphone.
This new age of publishing is an opportunity to make our voices heard and it is an opportunity not to be squandered. Our experience is a varied one and by giving our art more exposure we will enrich the entire creative community.
By funding this campaign you will not only help me make my dream come true, but you will breathe life into the dreams of other artists who feel unheard.

Saturday and Sunday, visitors to Buffalo Run Winery enjoyed wine tasting, tours, cooking demonstrations, grape stomping, music, and food and crafts vendors. With three South Dakota wineries represented, and a host of locally made products available, the event easily drew in a few hundred people, including at least one busload
Turn to festival on Page 13
"So far, it's been great," said Jim Schmidt, who accompanied Bernice Arendt around to the various tables offering wine tasting. The Sioux Falls friends arrived Saturday on a bus trip specially organized for the event.
"We love to do wineries," Schmidt said, recalling a recent trip to Minnesota and describing a future vacation in Europe. "It's fun to go, look around, taste and buy a little wine."
So far, their favorite of the day was a raspberry wine made by Schad� Vineyard in Volga. But the couple still had two wineries to go on their tasting venture: Buffalo Run and Spearfish's Black Hills, so another wine could have easily toppled the raspberry champion by the end of the day.
"Some we like and some we don't," Schmidt said, taking a sip of white wine from his complimentary wine glass. "But we tend to like our wine a little sweeter."
Enjoying drier wines, Mart and Kovarna said nothing could beat a good merlot, although Schad�'s chokecherry, Black Hills' rhubarb and Buffalo Run's Wild Grape or Freeman Red could easily come in second place.
"We talked about coming last year, but all we ever did was talk," Kovarna said. "Then, this year, we decided to actually come. And we're glad we did. We both really like wine."
The two friends also enjoyed the benefits of standing in the front row of Saturday's noon cooking demonstration, where they were able to partake in one of Buffalo Run's creations: Gorgonzola and Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms, made by the winery's executive chef Annie Walker.
Walker, a Vermillion native and University of South Dakota nursing student, had only one tip for onlookers, which she gave while pouring several gulps of a sweet red wine into a skillet of saut�ed onions and spinach: "Wine can add a lot of flavor to any recipe. Remember that recipes aren't necessarily correct; if I were to follow a cookbook recipe step by step, a lot of times it wouldn't turn out right. You need to modify them to your own needs, and if you enjoy wine, that's a great way to spice up almost any dish."
Kovarna and Mart didn't stop with Walker's cooking demonstration. One of their favorite activities of the day was traditional grape stomping.
Side by side, the two kicked off their sandals and stepped into a wooden half-barrel filled with dark purple grapes, and started stomping. While the juice wasn't used for wine, a photo of the women might have ended up on their favorite bottle of wine.
"It was awesome, very therapeutic. The only bad part is," Kovarna said, looking at the soles of her feet, "your feet turn purple."
But that isn't much of a complaint, Mart said. "The whole day is fun and I would definitely recommend it."
That's what Buffalo Run owner Eldon Nygaard was hoping to hear. After making some changes to the schedule after last year's event, he said he was pleased with this year's success.
"Last year, it was a nice start to the event, but the timing was weak because it was right after Labor Day and people didn't feel like going out to another event," Nygaard said. "This (year's event) has good timing. Plus, people are looking for things to do closer to home because of the gas crunch. I think the word had gotten out that it was such a good time last year (that) we're having a banner turnout this year."
Besides providing a marketing opportunity for the South Dakota wine industry, Nygaard said he wants to use the wine festival to help promote Vermillion. He thinks that combining the festival with the city's celebration helped to bring in more people to Vermillion from the surrounding area.
"I want to create a signature event for regional wine tasting," Nygaard said. "We've got Dakota Days, which is a big deal. And Danish Days, Schmeckfest and Riverboat Days are all important for this area. But Vermillion is on the move; it's growing. Yankton's Riverboat Days is great, and I want Vermillion to have an event like that, too."
