text: Season 1 was pretty intense, the first four episodes I enjoyed thoroughly. Then it lost momentum, except for the highway scene, I wanted something really fucking awful to happen, though something sort of did. What I don't get about that scene is... the dead can smell the living, why couldn't they just sniff them out? Anyhow I look forward to the next episode, I'd like to see how Shane gets out of that shit hole unscathed, 10$ says the fat guy dies.

Great muted rust tone!! It matches a paint color chosen perfectly and the reasonable pricing allows one to consider the purchase of another just in case , as it is being placed in a kitchen setting, The pile is thick and dense. very happy with purchase.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The 6'x6' square rug arrived and the colors look nothing as depicted in the photo (and I had looked at it online through 4 different computer monitors). The gold parts in the photo are a drab brown/gray color in real life and the rust parts are more maroon-ish. On the flip side, it's a soft, thick rug and the construction appears to be decent. I would just recommend trying to see it in person before ordering it online or you might be disappointed by the color discrepancy.

by ACNE STUDIOS
Acne (Ambition to Create Novel Expression) is a creative collective founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1996. The collective became established as a clothing line in 1997, when co-founder Jonny Johansson created 100 pairs of jeans in raw denim with red stitching and distributed them to friends throughout Stockholm. These novel jeans became the foundation of the brand and lead to the launch of Acne Studios' first full collection in 1998. The concept behind the line is a tone of subtle luxury in understated styles feeling as though they were borrowed from another person's wardrobe. Each piece in the collection is simplistic yet stands out on its own while pairing easily with others.

Today the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Arkansas Game & Fish Commission v. United States. The NFIB Legal Center filed in the case because it raises an important issue impacting small business property rights. The question is whether and when government incurs an obligation to pay just compensation when it causes flooding on private property?
The Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause provides that government shall not take private property without paying just compensation, and it has long been recognized that a taking occurs when government permanently floods private property. But, what if a government induced flood is only temporary? What if this "temporary flood" destroys your home or business?
In this case the Army Corp of Engineers caused flooding on private property for six consecutive years and now argues that it should have no takings liability because it eventually decided to stop flooding the property—never mind the fact that the owner lost all meaningful use of the property during these floods and suffered thousands of dollars in damages. Here the property owner lost acres and acres of timber.
We argued in our brief that government has an obligation to pay for property it destroys. In cases like this where the flooding is directly caused by government actions, there should be no way to avoid this obligation, regardless of whether or not the flooding is "permanent." The government may try to characterize the flooding as temporary, but the damages suffered by landowners in these cases are permanent and very costly.
Yet in oral arguments, the United States said that it doesn't matter how much damage it causes to private property—in the federal government's view, there is no duty to pay compensation to a landowner unless government acts to intentionally and permanently take possession of private property. In other words, they argued that government is not responsible for any damage to private property resulting from its decisions to release waters from a dam, because the government does not actually intend to cause harm to downstream property owners. Here Army Corp merely made a decision to release water at certain times and at certain flows; whatever happened to downstream property owners is none of the government's concern.
So what if you happen to be the unlucky property owner who loses a home or businesses downstream? Well, in the federal government's view, that's just a risk you take in buying a downstream property. The United States argued that government needs the flexibility to be able to make policy decisions without worrying about whether it will be on the hook for damage caused to private property; however, as Justice Scalia aptly noted, the Takings Clause was designed to protect property owners from policy decisions which force them to suffer for the benefit of the general public. Indeed, the fact that the government may conclude that there is a public benefit in maintaining a public works project, or in any other policy decision, will not shield the government from the duty to pay compensation when it forces a landowner to bear the costs of public progress.
Indeed, in this case the flooding directly resulted from Army Corps decision to change its water release policies. Army Corp decided to change its policies to accommodate various interests in the community. But as Justice Roberts noted, it does not matter whether other members of the public benefited from the changed release patterns, or whether a majority of the public encouraged the agency to adopt its water release policies. To draw on Justice Roberts comments, if the government is considering alternative plans which may potentially flood ten different properties, there may well be "public progress" in a decision to flood property 2 because property owners 1 and 3-10 will all benefit; however, the 2nd property owner should not be made to suffer uncompensated as the sacrifice of public progress.
The good news is that the Court seemed very skeptical of the impunity rule which the United States advocated. But, we have learned that it is dangerous to put too much stock in oral arguments. We will have to wait and see what the Court decides; however, we remain cautiously optimistic.

I am a huge Corvette fanatic and love classic cars (particulary muscle cars).
I have owned a Trans Am, Fiero, K Blazer, S Blazer and Corvette and am looking forward to the next vehilce (whatever it may be).
I am intrigued by the new Chevy Camaro (due out later this year) but am also contemplating purchasing either an early K Blazer (1969-73) or early second generation (1970-73) Trans Am or Formula.

Reviews for Favorite Christmas Breakfast Casserole
Sort By :
"Made this for Christmas brunch and my family loved it, myself included, and I am not the biggest fan of eggs. This is definitely going to be repeated."
"I "healthified" this a bit by using homemade multigrain bread and Canadian bacon. Easy to put together and I liked how it puffed up."
"I have made this at least once a month because my daughter keeps asking for it. She eats about two pieces and loves having it for breakfast before school. Instead of bread I use non-frozen hash-browns; they are so easy to pop out of the fridge and pour right in."
"I made this for Christmas morning. Great that I was able to assemble this the night before. Baked it the next morning. It was great! Light and fluffy and delicious!"
"I've been making this for years. Our family version is called "morning after casserole". My family asks for it often. I've even played with the ingredients and used different meats and/or cheeses. It's awesome for a morning when you've had guests spend the night. I've even taken it to a pot luck! Rave reviews every time. This is a can't miss recipe!"

Inspired by the art-deco elegance of the 1940s, Olive Black Martini Lounge entertains guests with a refined roster of classic cocktails, specialty martinis, and soft lighting. Located less than two miles from the Wisconsin border, mixologists wield jiggers and shakers to conjure potions such as the Dark Secret and Pineapple Upside Cake. Selections of authentic tapas dishes settle stomachs after a few drinks, with bite-sized eats such as cajun bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin or seared shrimp served with fresh mango salsa. Meals end sweetly with such succulent desserts, including chocolate fondue.
In the heart of Wauconda on the shoreline of Bangs Lake, Docks Bar & Grill offers up sweeping water views along with traditional American grill fare. The menu features Docks' classic homemade crab cakes garnished with mango-chili sauce, the 10-ounce smoked-bacon-brie burger, and Docks Famous barbecue baby back ribs. To keep up a convivial atmosphere, Docks hosts crowd-drawing events nearly every night, including Monday night football and live music on the weekends. While taking in the laid-back but chic decor, which features black leather booths, dark wood furnishings, and intimate lighting, guests can also enjoy drink specials that change daily. For gatherings or private parties, Docks' has a banquet room that overlooks Bangs lake.
Lincolnshire Gourmet offers proper pairings of healthy, fresh fare and lively musical entertainment within a cozy, welcoming storefront. Lunch and dinner options include gluten-free chorizo meatballs dunked in a jalapeño-lime sauce ($7), po' boy sandwiches gripping shrimp, veggies, and spicy mayo ($18), and entrees starring the restaurant's worst-kept secret, the NoOodle. With zero net carbs, zero gluten, zero soy, zero fat, and zero calories, the all-natural NoOodle boasts oodles of benefits and makes a fitting bed for entangled edibles such as grilled salmon with sautéed spinach, garlic, avocado relish, and olive oil ($20), and ultralite primavera mingling with spinach, red peps, yellow squash, and carrots in a creamy garlic sauce ($11). To accommodate youthful appetites, the chefs also offer finger-friendly items such as grilled cheese paired with fresh fruit ($5), paper-thin, whole-wheat cheese pizzas for two ($6), and napkins. Reservations are not required, but they are recommended.
Fragrant hookah smoke swims through the vividly hued lounge at Arabian Nights, undulating past curtains, pillows, and curling decorative accents. Guests take in scents through the winding tubes attached to their stations' apparatuses, choosing from an extensive list of shishas that includes herbal varieties for those who'd like to avoid tobacco. Guests are free to bring their own snacks to the lounge, which also serves teas, sodas, coffees, and juices.
The decor is eclectic. In one section, royal-blue walls contrast with the fairy-light-sprinkled vines that crawl around the perimeter of the ceiling. In another, orange and red walls corral a TV and a DJ station flanking a fireplace. Dramatic mirrors, low cushions, and checkerboard walls characterize other regions of the softly lit space, filled with guests surfing the web with complimentary WiFi and caterpillars avoiding political topics on first dates.
More than 100 flavors of shisha infuse Milan Hookah Lounge's softly lit atmosphere with a smoky haze that swirls off of premium tobacco from brands such as Fantasia and Starbuzz. Tobacco-free hydro herbal molasses comes in a slew of sweet flavors, satiating nicotine abstainers and easing the conscience of leafy, tobacco-human hybrids, and refreshing colas and teas cleanse smoke-saturated tongues. Guests kick back in a cozy lounge area with ceiling-suspended lamps, low couches, and sports-broadcasting TVs as occasional live music and belly dancing swell the airwaves with melodious and abdominal vibrations.

Don't tarnish Clinton's legacy
As the Democrats convene in Denver to celebrate Hillary Clinton and nominate Barack Obama, a tiny minority of her supporters continues to behave petulantly. They whine, they bluster, they agitate. But what is it about Sen. Clinton's repeated endorsements of her former opponent that they cannot understand?

The Seventeen Celeb Beauty Tip!
It's a beauty bonanza! Get your daily dose on all things glam from the experts behind the coolest looks seen on the top celebs, the pages of Seventeen, and more!
By Elizabeth Denton
Nina Dobrev's Knotted Braid
Who: Nina Dobrev
The Expert: Celebrity hairstylist Riawna Capri (Instagram: @riawnacapri)
The Look: Knotted braid up-do
The Tip:
1. Part your hair down the middle. Section off two large chunks of hair on each side of the part in front of your ears.
2. Take one section and split it in two chunks. Knot the section going toward the back of your head and secure it with an elastic. Repeat with the other side.
3. Split your leftover hair diagonally from the crown of your hair to the nape of your neck. Knot both of those sections. You'll have four knotted pieces.
4. Take the two front sides and pin them back and together with bobby pins. Take the lower knotted piece and wrap it around the other two and pin.
5. Grab the leftover bottom piece and wrap it around the other three, securing with pins. You'll have created a messy bun.
6. Spread the knots out so it isn't too perfect. For extra texture, rub a washcloth over your strands to make it a little puffy and and messy-cool.

One of my favorite things in life: an excuse to go shoe shopping. So this thing with Brian Wilson's orange (now orange and Sharpie black) cleats was too good to pass by.
So I went looking and eventually (it's harder than you'd think to find some nice orange shoes) found these Italian made orange sandals and fell in love with them. My pink nail polish clashed with it pretty badly though, so I found this orange nail polish called "tangerine" and the result has been immortalized on camera.
Now why is there no constitutional amendment that grants people- yes, baseball players are people too- freedom of fashion? Sign the petition here asking MLB to revoke the fine. If it's true that there is no rule, then the fine is incorrect. And if there is one? There shouldn't be. Unless the cleats have flashing Christmas lights on them, or something. Every uniform should have a little room for personal flair and the shoes seem like a good place to do it, in a baseball uniform.
Incidentally, I think Brian's shoes look better post-Sharpie era:
But no, I'm not Sharpie-ing mine.
Here is my promise to you: if the Giants go to the post-season, I'll streak my orange toenails with black. And if they go to the World Series? I'm getting an orange extension for my hair. Or maybe a mohawk like Brian? Kidding.

(esp. regarding the Haqqanis) have ranged from saying you need to crack
down on them to saying that Pakistan can help bring the Taliban and
Haqqanis to the peace deal.
So despite asking Pakistan to crack down on these groups the U.S. (with
these nuanced statements from Hilary) is indirectly also acknowledging
that Pakistan has its reasons for not having a full-on attack on the
Haqqanis and have an interest in maintaining a relationship with the
group. Therefore, there needs to another approach to cracking down on them
and at the same time using Pakistan to push for bringing the Haqqanis to
the peace table
This was an interesting statement from Hilary : U.S. Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton called Pakistan's relationship with the Haqqanis akin to
keeping "snakes in your backyard".

US, Pakistan `agree on work plan'
From the Newspaper | Anwar Iqbal
(16 hours ago) Today
WASHINGTON: The United States and Pakistan have 90-95 per cent agreement
on a work plan to combat terrorists, US Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton said on Sunday while reflecting on her two-day visit to
During the visit, which ended on Friday, the chief US diplomat urged
Pakistan to move against extremists who were attacking American forces
in Afghanistan or risk dwindling support from the US and further
instability at home.
But in a series of interviews to various US television networks on
Sunday, Secretary Clinton tried to downplay the differences and also
highlighted Pakistan's cooperation in the fight against Al Qaeda.
"We're about 90, 95 per cent in agreement between the United States and
Pakistan about the means of our moving towards what are commonly shared
goals," she said. "And we have a work plan and a real commitment to
making sure we are as effective as possible together."
One of the interviewers noted that during the visit, she had sent an
unmistakable message: Those who allow terrorists to operate in safe
havens will pay a heavy price. "What are the consequences to this
already fragile relationship, if, in fact, the United States launches
another counter-terror operation inside Pakistan with US boots on the
ground?" he asked.
Secretary Clinton said that the high-level delegation she led to
Islamabad had "a very intense, frank, candid and open discussion" with
Pakistani leaders.
The delegation, which included the CIA and US military chiefs, stressed
two points: both countries have to work together to eliminate the threat
from safe havens and they also need to back an Afghan-led reconciliation
"We, on the Afghan side, and we're upping the tempo of our efforts, and
the Pakistanis on their side," she said. "It's very important to stress
that Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Americans are already facing
consequences from the attacks that cross borders and kill innocent
She warned that the consequences could become "even more dire if we do
not redouble our efforts to try to increase our security cooperation".
She defended US contacts with the Haqqanis, noting that Washington was
following a policy of "fight, talk and build" and these contacts were
part of this policy. The meeting with the Haqqanis, she said, was held
at Pakistan's request to gauge whether there was any basis for further
"So, what we are trying to gauge who among the groups would be sincere
and serious about an Afghan-led peace process," she added.
"And it's very absolutely understood that in order for any process to
have a chance to succeed, the United States and Pakistan have to work
with Afghanistan. So, we responded to a Pakistan request."
The US, she said, was testing out "a lot of different approaches" but at
the same time it will also keep finding those who were killing Afghans,
Americans and others.
Responding to a question, Secretary Clinton said the US was not going to
abandon its goals in Afghanistan for the sake of reconciliation with the
"We're going to fight where we need to fight. We will talk if there's an
opportunity to talk. And we will keep building towards a more secure,
stable future for Afghanistan," she said.
Secretary Clinton explained that the US had certain "red lines" for any
talking or any agreement.
"With whomever we talk, they have to abide by the following: They must
renounce violence. They must renounce any and all ties to Al Qaeda. And
most importantly, for the future of Afghanistan, they must commit to
abide by the laws and constitution
of Afghanistan, which protect the rights of ethnic minorities and women.
"So I am very clear that I am not going to support any peace agreement
that gives up the hard-won rights of the Afghan people. And in
particular, I have a commitment to the women of Afghanistan."

I have not been following the rhetoric closely on this issue, so I
could be way off.
It seems to me that this is the first time US officials have suggested
a more nuanced response to dealing with the Haqqani network. Before
it seemed like everyone was assuming the US was asking Pakistan to
move troops into North Waziristan in the same way it moved troops into
Swat or South Waziristan--troops occupying the area and major
airstrikes. Hillary seems to be talking much more about coordinated
intelligence and special operations in the Bloomberg interview below.

Clinton Pressing Pakistan for Joint Covert Action on Insurgents
October 24, 2011, 12:22 AM EDT
By Indira A.R. Lakshmanan
Oct. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said
Pakistan will suffer "dire consequences" if it fails to "contain"
terrorists operating from its soil, and it needs the U.S. and
Afghanistan to help get the job done.
The Obama administration isn't asking Pakistan's military to occupy
its rugged border regions, the base for extremist groups that attack
U.S., allied and Afghan forces on the other side, Clinton said in an
interview with Bloomberg News following two days of meetings in
There are "different ways of fighting besides overt military
action," she said.
Clinton said she pressed Pakistan to fully share intelligence with
U.S. forces in Afghanistan to prevent attacks and choke off money
and supply routes. Better coordination might prevent incidents like
the Sept. 20 assault on the American Embassy in Kabul, which the
U.S. blames on the Haqqani network, she said.
"We can go after funding. We can go after couriers,'' she said she
told Pakistani leaders.
Already strained ties with Pakistan were exacerbated by the U.S.
commando assault in May that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden
near Islamabad. Clinton, along with CIA Director David Petraeus and
General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, met
with Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, General Ashfaq Parvez
Kayani, the Army Chief of Staff, and Ahmad Shuja Pasha, head of the
Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate.
Recent Cooperation
Clinton praised recent cooperation against al-Qaeda as a model for
how to crack down on the Haqqanis as well as the Taliban, based in
Pakistan's southwestern city of Quetta.
"Because of intelligence sharing and mutual cooperation, we have
targeted three of the top al-Qaeda operatives since bin Laden's
death. That could not have happened without Pakistani cooperation,"
she said.
Pakistan's political parties came together last month behind a
resolution to seek talks and a cease-fire with insurgents rather
than an all-out military assault. Pakistani Prime Minister Syed
Yousuf Raza Gilani urged the Americans "to give peace a chance"
before pressing his military for more, he said in a statement.
Clinton said the U.S. message to Pakistan was that the same
insurgents who have launched lethal attacks against U.S. and Afghan
targets may unleash their violence inside Pakistan.
Clinton said she urged Pakistan's leaders to take advantage of the
roughly 130,000-troop, U.S.-led NATO force next door in Afghanistan
while it's still there. The U.S. and NATO have begun pulling out
troops and plan to hand full security control to Afghanistan's
government by the end of 2014.
`Squeeze' Opportunity
In the coming months, forces from Pakistan and the coalition in
Afghanistan should "squeeze" the Taliban and allied extremists, such
as the Haqqani network, which operate on both sides of the border.
"There's no way that any government in Islamabad can control these
groups," Clinton said in the Oct. 22 interview, conducted in
Tajikistan as she wrapped up a seven-nation trip across the Mideast
and south-central Asia.
There is an "opportunity, while we are still with 48 nations across
the border in Afghanistan, where we have a lot of assets that we can
put at their disposal" to help Pakistan.
The Pakistanis said they "have to figure out a way to do it that
doesn't cause chaos" in their country, she recounted. She said the
U.S. and Pakistan agreed on "90 to 95 percent of what needs to be
done" and the two countries will work on what "next steps we take
Before retiring as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff last month,
Admiral Mike Mullen testified before Congress that the Haqqani
network is a "veritable arm" of Pakistan's spy agency, sparking
angry denials from Islamabad.
`Enhanced Operations'
U.S. and Afghan troops have recently begun what they call "enhanced
operations" against guerrillas in Afghanistan's Khost province,
which abuts the Pakistani region where the Haqqani network is based.
Asked if U.S. troops in Afghanistan will launch cross- border
attacks if Pakistan fails to act, Clinton replied, "There's a lot
going on that is aimed at these safe havens, and we will continue to
work with them on that."
Clinton also defended U.S. efforts of encourage the Afghans and
Pakistanis to seek negotiations to disarm militants. Reconciliation
efforts have gone nowhere since Clinton announced the Obama
administration's support for talks early last year. A Taliban agent
posing as a peace envoy assassinated Afghanistan's chief peace
negotiator, Burhanuddin Rabbani, on Sept. 13.
Negotiations are "a bumpy process" requiring "patience and
persistence that we're willing to invest, in order to determine
what's real and what's not," she said.
Libya `Score-Settling'
Before stopping in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Clinton visited Libya
Oct. 18, where she called on the rebels who ousted dictator Muammar
Qaddafi to refrain from vigilantism and "score-settling" and instead
uphold the rule of law.
Asked why U.S. officials appeared to cheer the news of Qaddafi's
death two days later, in light of video footage suggesting was
summarily executed after he was captured alive, Clinton denied that
the U.S. celebrated his death.
The Obama administration considers Qaddafi's demise an opening for
Libya to start its transition to democracy, she said. She praised
the transitional government for pledging a full investigation of his
"It sends the right signal that we can't start on a path toward
democracy, rule of law, human rights without trying to understand
and hold accountable anyone who acted in a way that violates those
precepts," she said.
An autopsy confirmed yesterday that Qaddafi died from a gunshot
wound to the head, according to Libya's chief pathologist, Dr.
Othman al-Zintani.
Iranian Plot
Asked about U.S. charges that Iran plotted to kill the Saudi
ambassador to Washington, Clinton said the U.S. has shared evidence
widely and is raising awareness of dangerous "Iranian interference
in the internal affairs of many countries."
The U.S. for years has been raising the alarm about Iran's growing
influence in "Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia," where
Iran has embassies staffed with spies and members of the Quds force,
which was implicated in the plot against the Saudi ambassador, she
Until now, few considered Iran a danger to them, she said. The U.S.
can now say, "No, guess what? It is about you," she said.
Clinton said there's no U.S. plan for punishing Iran beyond
sanctions. "What we want to do is convince people that behavior like
this is why we need to enforce the sanctions we have," she said.

The annual Edible Book Festival returns to UW-Madison's Memorial Library
Date and Time: TBA
Entry deadline: TBA
"Book-inspired food."
The Edible Book Festival is a free—open to the public—event, sponsored by the UW-Madison General Library System and UW Memorial Library, in celebration of National Library Week.
Over the years, "edible books" have been made from cake, breadsticks, chocolate, veggies, and matzo meal. Every entry provides not only some artsy good fun with a dash of creativity, but the promotion of libraries through community engagement. You don't have to be a food artist to sign-up! Past entries have come from UW faculty & staff and their families, students, community members, and a variety of organizations on- and off-campus.
Members of the community are encouraged to attend, ogle the edible art, and vote for their favorite entries. This is a family-friendly event, so bring the kids! A cake for attendees will be provided and served so no one is tempted to taste the entries. Certificates and prizes will be awarded in multiple categories by the official judges. As in years past, all who attend will be given the opportunity to vote for the "People's Choice" award (a.k.a. "Best in Show").
The International Edible Book Festival is held annually around April 1st. Countries around the world participate in this festival, including: Australia, Brazil, Canada, England, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, United States of America, and Russia. The April 1st date is in homage to the author Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826), famous for his book Physiologie du got, a witty meditation on food.
The International Edible Book Festival is the creation of Judith A. Hoffberg and Batrice Coron. Judith came up with the idea during a 1999 Thanksgiving dinner with book artists, and Batrice created the Books2Eat website so that people around the world can enjoy the food artists' created. Their first event was held in 2000. In 2006, the Edible Book Festival came to UW-Madison for the School of Library and Information Sciences (SLIS) centennial year celebration. Since that time, UW-Madison Libraries' have continued to promote just how much fun it is to have your cake and read it, too!

We believe that cloth diapers are better for your child, better for the environment and better for your budget. They are the eco-friendly alternative to disposable diapers.
For the latest trend in diapering, try our most popular style, bumGenius, for a one-size adjustable pocket fit with your choice of color and closure in snaps or hook-and-loop. Diaper Rite prefolds and pocket diapers are a budget-friendly option for cloth diapering. Choose from the simplicity of Diaper Rite birds-eye cotton prefold diapers, the staple of any stash; the trimness of Kissaluvs fitted diapers and even the efficiency of GroVia.
Cloth diapering is cute, eco-friendly and economic choice for diapering your baby. With a series of snaps, buttons, elastics or Velcro, one-size diapers are made to fit babies from 7 to 35 pounds. The ability of the diaper to grow with your baby can save you thousands of dollars from birth to potty training. With cloth diapering, there are no late-night trips to the store or excessive trips to the garbage can.
Not only do they save you money, but one-size cloth diapers save storage space. Instead of storing four sizes of diapers, you only need enough space for one! With our modern selection, there are no pins or clumsy plastic pants. All our diapers are made for comfort and easy movement through every stage of your babys development while still providing adorable prints and patterns.
Babies who wear cloth tend to have fewer diaper rashes or irritated bottoms. The natural fibers are kind to sensitive skin, eliminating the need for oily treatments and trips to the pediatrician. And many parents will tell you they spend less time on potty training when cloth diapering
Fitted diapers are made to fit snug. These diapers are easy-to-use and very absorbent -- even through the night when leaks are most likely to occur.
Pocket diapers are a two-part, cloth diapering system. The cover has an opening for an insert. The insert can either be cloth or disposable and you can customize the inserts' absorbency. These diapers are convenient, fast drying and have a very trim fit.
Whatever your preference, we have some of the most popular brands in stock including Blueberry Diapers in a wide assortment of adorable prints. Check out bumGenius 4.0, with their fashion colors and replaceable elastics, and Grovia with their cloth or biodegradable disposable inserts, as well as newer styles like Kawaii's adorable colors for boys and girls.
We have plenty of one-size diapers with the waterproof outer material sewn in. Try the Fuzzibunz Elite+ One Size Diaper with its adjustable elastic leg casings and waist bands. Another option is the Rumparooz One Size Diaper with an inner double gusset to minimize blowouts.

Your location: Home > National Reports > Reporting and review for Annex I Parties
Methodologies for reporting financial information by Parties included in Annex I to the Convention
The Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) at its fortieth session initiated its discussion on methodologies for the reporting of financial information, taking into account existing international methodologies and based on the experience gained in preparing the biennial reports from developed country Parties, in accordance with decision 2/CP.17, paragraph 19. During its discussion, the SBSTA took note of the relevant work being conducted under the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) on the revision of the guidelines for preparation of national communications, and welcomed the information provided by the Standing Committee on Finance (SCF) on its on-going work relating to the preparation of the first biennial assessment and overview of climate finance flows. The secretariat also provided further information regarding the work under these two bodies in a short introduction (213 kB) presentation by the co-facilitators.
In accordance with SBSTA's request that the secretariat summarize available information on relevant on-going work under the SBI and the SCF and make it publicly available on the UNFCCC website before SBSTA 41, the secretariat has prepared a summary table (111 kB) ,which has been updated since the eighth meeting of the SCF in October 2014.
Further information can be found on the UNFCCC Finance, Technology and Capacity-Building (FTC) webpage.
Review guidelines by SBSTA 39 and their adoption by COP19
The "Guidelines for the technical review of information reported under the Convention related to greenhouse gas inventories, biennial reports and national communications by Parties included in Annex I to the Convention" were adopted by Parties at COP 19 in Warsaw (decision 23/CP.19). These review guidelines provide a solid foundation for the upcoming technical reviews of NC6 and BR1 in early 2014 under the new IAR process.
The section on the guidelines for the review of GHG inventories is currently a placeholder in these newly adopted review guidelines. The elaboration of these guidelines will be the focus of work under SBSTA in 2014. Two technical workshops will be held in 2014 to progress with the revised review guidelines for GHG inventories, which will be adopted at COP 20 according to the work programme under SBSTA.

Eye and Face Protection Foot Protection Hand Protection Head Protection Hearing Protection Respiratory Protection
It is the policy of Murray State University to provide adequate protection to its employees by using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as needed. Murray State shall supply the PPE (except footwear) at no cost to the employee. Murray State shall perform a hazard assessment, provide training, and maintain records regarding the personal protection program. All employees shall wear PPE as required. Failure to wear PPE can result in disciplinary action, including the termination of employment.
The purpose of this Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Program is to prevent exposure to workplace hazards, document hazard assessments, put corrective measures in place, and implement the use of PPE at Murray State University. PPE devices are not to be relied on as the only means to provide protection against hazards. The best approach is to abate the hazard first through engineering controls (change in process, elimination of process, chemical substitution, etc.), with PPE to provide protection against hazards which cannot reasonably be abated otherwise. PPE should be used in conjunction with guards, engineering controls, and sound manufacturing practices. Respiratory Protection is covered in a separate MSU program.
This program applies to all university employees. This program contains requirements for practices and procedures to protect Murray State University employees from hazards existing in their work environment. Each department is required to make the program readily accessible to employees through posting, inserting in a departmental procedures manual, or by providing photocopies upon request. A master copy is on file in the Office of Environmental Safety and Health. This program shall be used in conjunction with other policies and procedures involving respiratory protection and hearing conservation.
The Office of Environmental Safety and Health shall be responsible for: * Annual PPE review training * Considering and implementing engineering controls for recognized hazards * Being knowledgeable of the PPE program requirements and advising departments on proper use of PPE * Maintaining copies of MSU department and area hazard assessments and reassessments * Upon request of departments: - assist with hazard assessments - assist in analysis of injuries/accidents - assist in the selection of PPE - assist in training - conduct Train-the-Trainer programs
Management (Department Chairpersons and Directors) are responsible for: * Supplying PPE to employees at no cost to the employee * Maintaining records of hazard assessments, reassessments, training, retraining, and PPE selection
Supervisors are responsible for: * Attending Train-the-Trainer program for PPE * Being knowledgeable of the PPE program requirements and following the PPE program * Training new employees and following the training outline requirements as needed * Enforcing the PPE program * Attending Immediate Supervisor PPE Program training offered by the Office of Environmental Safety and Health. Please call 3480 to arrange this training. This is to be completed before performing the Hazard Assessments. * Performing hazard assessments and reassessments * Issuing PPE * Ensuring employee compliance with cleaning and maintenance of PPE * Providing documentation of hazard assessments and reassessments to the Office Environmental Safety and Health * Providing a copy of the PPE Program to an employee upon their request
Employees are responsible for: * Being knowledgeable of the PPE program requirements and following the PPE program * Attending training sessions * Properly wearing, cleaning, maintaining and inspecting all assigned PPE * Returning all damaged PPE to their immediate supervisor to receive a replacement * Only using the PPE approved by the university.
A violation of a University employee's responsibility must be reported to the employee's immediate supervisor for appropriate action.
In order to assess the need for PPE, the following steps must be taken:
* The person performing the hazard assessment shall receive assessment training provided by the Office of Environmental Safety and Health
* Each immediate supervisor shall conduct a hazard assessment for all positions they supervise, using the MSU PPE Hazard Assessment information in this binder. A copy of the completed Hazard Assessment form must be sent to the Office of Environmental Safety and Health. The purpose of these surveys is to identity work hazards.
* Engineering controls must be considered and implemented, where possible, to abate any hazards found.
* It is the responsibility of each immediate supervisor to annually reassess the workplace. If job hazards or PPE have not changed, simply indicate this on the PPE Hazard Assessment form and return to the Office of Environmental Safety and Health. If there are changes, indicate what they are and return a copy of the Office of Environmental Safety and Health.
* Elements to consider in the reassessment include:
- Effectiveness of PPE Program - Injury and illness experience - Levels of exposure - Adequacy of equipment selection - Number of hour's workers wear various protective equipment - Adequacy of training/fitting of PPE - Program costs - The adequacy of program records - Coordination with overall safety and health program - New equipment and/or processes
After completion of the hazard assessment, and all hazards are identified, the procedure used for selection of personal protective equipment is as follows:
* Review possible engineering controls before deciding to use PPE
* Match the potential hazards with the most appropriate types of PPE available. This will be done by using the selection guidelines for each specific category of PPE included in this document. The categories are hand protection, eye and face protection, head protection, foot protection, hearing protection, and protective clothing. If hearing protection or respiratory protection is needed, contact the Office of Environmental Safety and Health at 3480 for additional program information and evaluation.
* After the selection process is complete, the selection shall be communicated to affected employees.
* Provide the user with the proper, well-fitted protective device and give training as required. Each department must provide employees personal protective equipment at no cost to the employees. Defective and damaged equipment or PPE shall not be used.
* Create a written record of the PPE Selection process.. Keep a copy in the departmental files and send a copy to the Office of Environmental Safety and Health.
Supervisor Training * The Office of Environmental Safety and Health will provide this training. Departments may attend training advertised by the Office of Environmental Safety and Health. * Immediate Supervisor training shall include the following: - Hazard assessment and written certification - Importance of personal protective equipment - Selection of personal protective equipment (PPE) - Fitting of PPE - Testing of PPE - Inspection of PPE - Training Programs for PPE and employee certification - Retraining - MSU's program overview
* Any employee who will be using PPE will be trained by their supervisor on the following: - Program overview and where the written program is located within the Department - When and where PPE is necessary - What PPE is necessary - How to wear assigned PPE - Limitations of PPE - The proper care, maintenance, useful life, and disposal of assigned PPE
Many times the training information required can be found on the manufacturer's instructions. Employees and immediate supervisors must demonstrate an understanding of the training and the ability to use PPE properly before they are allowed to perform work requiring the use of the equipment.
If there is reason to believe an employee or immediate supervisor does not have the understanding or skill required, they must be retrained. Retraining may be required when there are changes in the workplace, or changes in the types of PPE to be used, which would render previous training obsolete. Inadequacies in an employee's or immediate supervisor's knowledge in the use of the assigned PPE, or selection of PPE, would also require retraining.
The trainer shall certify in writing the employee has received and understood the PPE training. An example form is included in this binder. You may use this form or develop another to meet your specific department needs. File a copy in your departmental records and send a copy to the Office of Environmental Safety and Health.
It is important that all PPE be kept clean and properly maintained by the employee assigned to use the equipment. Cleaning is particularly important for eye and face protection. Dirty or fogged lenses could impair vision. PPE is to be inspected, cleaned and maintained by employees at regular intervals and as stated in the manufacturer's instructions. This is not included as part of their normal job duties. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring compliance with cleaning and maintenance requirements and supplying adequate cleaning supplies.
If an article of PPE is in need of repair or replacement, it is the responsibility of the employee to bring it to the immediate attention of his/her supervisor. Do not use PPE if it is in need of repair or if it is not able to perform its intended function.
Contaminated PPE, which cannot be decontaminated, must be disposed of in a manner that protects employees from exposure to the hazard. Follow you department's procedures. To inquire about the proper disposal methods of contaminated PPE, contact the Office of Environmental Safety and Health at 3481.
