Africans of three main ethnic groups--Bantu, Nilotic, and Nilo-Hamitic--constitute most of the population. The Bantu are the most numerous and include the Baganda, which, with about 3 million members (18% of the population), constitute the largest-single ethnic group.
The people of the southwest comprise 30% of the population, divided into five major ethnic groups: the Banyankole and Bahima,10%; the Bakiga, 8%; the Banyarwanda, 6%; the Bunyoro, 3%; and the Batoro, 3%). Residents of the north, largely Nilotic, are the next largest group, including the Langi, 6% and the Acholi, 4%. In the northwest are the Lugbara, 4%, and the Karamojong, 2% occupy the considerably drier, largely pastoral territory in the northeast. Europeans, Asians, and Arabs make up about 1% of the population with other groups accounting for the remainder.
Uganda's population is predominately rural, and its density is highest in the southern regions. Until 1972, Asians constituted the largest nonindigenous ethnic group in Uganda. In that year, the Idi Amin regime expelled 50,000 Asians, who had been engaged in trade, industry, and various professions. In the years since Amin's overthrow in 1979, Asians have slowly returned. About 3,000 Arabs of various national origins and small numbers of Asians live in Uganda. Other nonindigenous people in Uganda include several hundred Western missionaries and a few diplomats and businesspeople.
When Arab traders moved inland from their enclaves along the Indian Ocean coast of East Africa and reached the interior of Uganda in the 1830s, they found several African kingdoms with well-developed political institutions dating back several centuries. These traders were followed in the 1860s by British explorers searching for the source of the Nile River. Protestant missionaries entered the country in 1877, followed by Catholic missionaries in 1879.
In 1888, control of the emerging British "sphere of interest" in East Africa was assigned by royal charter to the Imperial British East Africa Company, an arrangement strengthened in 1890 by an Anglo-German agreement confirming British dominance over Kenya and Uganda. The high cost of occupying the territory caused the company to withdraw in 1893, and its administrative functions were taken over by a British commissioner. In 1894, the Kingdom of Buganda was placed under a formal British protectorate.
Britain granted internal self-government to Uganda in 1961, with the first elections held on March 1, 1961. Benedicto Kiwanuka of the Democratic Party became the first Chief Minister. Uganda maintained its Commonwealth membership.
In succeeding years, supporters of a centralized state vied with those in favor of a loose federation and a strong role for tribally based local kingdoms. Political maneuvering climaxed in February 1966, when Prime Minister Milton Obote suspended the constitution, assumed all government powers, and removed the president and vice president. In September 1967, a new constitution proclaimed Uganda a republic, gave the president even greater powers, and abolished the traditional kingdoms. On January 25, 1971, Obote's government was ousted in a military coup led by armed forces commander Idi Amin Dada. Amin declared himself president, dissolved the parliament, and amended the constitution to give himself absolute power.
Idi Amin's 8-year rule produced economic decline, social disintegration, and massive human rights violations. The Acholi and Langi tribes were particular objects of Amin's political persecution because Obote and many of his supporters belonged to those tribes and constituted the largest group in the army. In 1978, the International Commission of Jurists estimated that more than 100,000 Ugandans had been murdered during Amin's reign of terror; some authorities place the figure much higher.
In October 1978, Tanzanian armed forces repulsed an incursion of Amin's troops into Tanzanian territory. The Tanzanian force, backed by Ugandan exiles, waged a war of liberation against Amin's troops and Libyan soldiers sent to help him. On April 11, 1979, Kampala was captured, and Amin fled with his remaining forces.
After Amin's removal, the Uganda National Liberation Front formed an interim government with Yusuf Lule as president. This government adopted a ministerial system of administration and created a quasi-parliamentary organ known as the National Consultative Commission (NCC). The NCC and the Lule cabinet reflected widely differing political views. In June 1979, following a dispute over the extent of presidential powers, the NCC replaced President Lule with Godfrey Binaisa. In a continuing dispute over the powers of the interim presidency, Binaisa was removed in May 1980. Thereafter, Uganda was ruled by a military commission chaired by Paulo Muwanga. The December 1980 elections returned the UPC to power under the leadership of President Obote, with Muwanga serving as vice president. Under Obote, the security forces had one of the world's worst human rights records. In their efforts to stamp out an insurgency led by Yoweri Museveni's National Resistance Army (NRA), they lay waste to a substantial section of the country, especially in the Luwero area north of Kampala.
Obote ruled until July 27, 1985, when an army brigade, composed mostly of Acholi troops and commanded by Lt. Gen. Basilio Olara-Okello, took Kampala and proclaimed a military government. Obote fled to exile in Zambia. The new regime, headed by former defense force commander Gen. Tito Okello (no relation to Lt. Gen. Olara-Okello), opened negotiations with the insurgent forces of Yoweri Museveni and pledged to improve respect for human rights, end tribal rivalry, and conduct free and fair elections. In the meantime, massive human rights violations continued as the Okello government murdered civilians and ravaged the countryside in order to destroy the NRA's support.
Negotiations between the Okello government and the NRA were conducted in Nairobi in the fall of 1985, with Kenyan President Daniel Moi seeking a cease-fire and a coalition government in Uganda. Although agreeing in late 1985 to a cease-fire, the NRA continued fighting, seized Kampala in late January 1986, and assumed control of the country, forcing Okello to flee north into Sudan. Museveni's forces organized a government with Museveni as president.
Since assuming power, the government dominated by the political grouping created by Museveni and his followers, the National Resistance Movement (NRM), has largely put an end to the human rights abuses of earlier governments, overseen the successful efforts of a human rights commission established to investigate previous abuses, initiated substantial political liberalization and general press freedom, and instituted broad economic reforms after consultation with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, and donor governments. A constitutional commission was named to draft a new constitution, which was debated and ratified by a popularly elected constituent assembly on July 12, 1995, and promulgated by President Museveni on October 8, 1995.
Under the transitional provisions of the new constitution, the "movement system" will continue for 5 years, including explicit restrictions on activities of political parties, which are nonetheless active. The Constitution also called for a referendum in 2000 to determine whether or not Uganda will adopt a multi-party system of democracy. The referendum was held in March 2000 and by a margin of 70% voters asked to keep the Movement system; the referendum was widely criticized for its low voter turnout and lack of a level playing field.
Insurgent groups--the largest (Lord's Resistance Army) of which used to receive support from Sudan--harass government forces and murder and kidnap civilians in the north and west. They do not, however, threaten the stability of the government. Uganda resumed diplomatic relations with Sudan in 2001, agreeing to reopen missions and exchange diplomats up to the Charge level. The two countries are now planning to resume full diplomatic relations and exchange ambassadors.
In 1998, Uganda deployed a sizable military force to eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), ostensibly to prevent attacks from Ugandan rebel groups operating from bases in eastern DRC, the treat from which has largely been contained..
The executive consists of officials who predominantly espouse movement political views. Yoweri Museveni is the President and the Commander in Chief, Dr. Specioza Wandira Kazibwe is the Vice President, and Apollo Nsibambi is the Prime Minister. The Minister of Foreign Affairs is James Wapakhabulo and the Minister for Defense is Amama Mbabazi .
Legislative responsibility is vested in the 308-person parliament, whose members were elected in June 2001. The Ugandan judiciary operates as an independent branch of government and consists of magistrates courts, the high court, the court of appeals, which also hears constitutional cases as the "constitutional court," and the Supreme Court.

Uganda's economy has great potential. Endowed with significant natural resources, including ample fertile land, regular rainfall, and mineral deposits, it appeared poised for rapid economic growth and development at independence. Yet, chronic political instability and erratic economic management produced a record of persistent economic decline that left Uganda among the world's poorest and least-developed countries.
After the turmoil of the Amin era, the country began a program of economic recovery in 1981 that received considerable foreign assistance. From mid-1984 on, however, overly expansionist fiscal and monetary policies and the renewed outbreak of civil strife led to a setback in economic performance.
Since assuming power in early 1986, the government of President Museveni has taken important steps toward economic rehabilitation. The country's infrastructure--notably its transportation and communications systems which were destroyed by war and neglect--is being rebuilt. Recognizing the need for increased external support, Uganda negotiated a policy framework paper with the IMF and the World Bank in 1987. It subsequently began implementing economic policies designed to restore price stability and sustainable balance of payments, improve capacity utilization, rehabilitate infrastructure, restore producer incentives through proper price policies, and improve resource mobilization and allocation in the public sector. By 1990, these policies were beginning to produce results. Inflation, which ran at 240% in 1987 and 42% in June 1992, was 3.4% in 1994-95, 5.4% for fiscal year 1995-96 and 4.6% for 2000-2001.
Investment as a percentage of GDP is estimated at 13.7% in 1999 compared to 18.3% in 1995-96 and 17.9% in 1994-95. Private sector investment, largely financed by private transfers from abroad, was 11.7% of GDP in 1999. Gross National Savings as a percentage of GDP was estimated at 10.5% in 1999. The Ugandan Government also has worked with donor countries to reschedule or cancel substantial portions of the country's external debts.
Agricultural products supply nearly all of Uganda's foreign exchange earnings, with coffee alone (of which Uganda is Africa's leading producer) accounting for about 21% of the country's exports in 2001. Exports of apparel, hides, skins, vegetables, fruits, cut flowers, and fish are growing, and cotton, tea, and tobacco continue to be mainstays.
Most industry is related to agriculture. The industrial sector is being rehabilitated to resume production of building and construction materials, such as cement, reinforcing rods, corrugated roofing sheets, and paint. Domestically produced consumer goods include plastics, soap, cork, beer, and soft drinks.
Uganda has about 30,000 kilometers (18,750 mi.), of roads; some 2,800 kilometers (1,750 mi.) are paved. Most radiate from Kampala. The country has about 1,350 kilometers (800 mi.) of rail lines. A railroad originating at Mombasa on the Indian Ocean connects with Tororo, where it branches westward to Jinja, Kampala, and Kasese and northward to Mbale, Soroti, Lira, Gulu, and Kapwach. Uganda's important road and rail links to Mombasa serve its transport needs and also those of its neighbors--Rwanda, Burundi, and parts of Zaire and Sudan. An international airport is at Entebbe on the shore of Lake Victoria, some 32 kilometers (20 mi.) south of Kampala.
The Ugandan Government seeks good relations with all nations and welcomes contacts without reference to ideological orientation. Relations with Kenya and Rwanda have been periodically strained because of security concerns and/or occasional disagreements on trade.
In the past, neighbors were concerned about Uganda's relationship with Libya, which had supplied military equipment and bartered fuel to Uganda. In addition to its friendly ties to Western nations, Uganda has maintained ties with North Korea. Uganda's strained relations with Sudan have improved since Sudan discontinued support to the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and other rebel groups. Uganda and Sudan have reestablished diplomatic relations at the Charg� level and plan to upgrade them to the ambassadorial level, but relations are likely to continue to be tense. The LRA seeks to overthrow the Uganda Government and has inflicted brutal violence on the population in northern Uganda, including rape, kidnapping, torture, and murder. The Uganda and Sudan recently signed a Protocol permitting the UPDF to enter southern Sudan and engage the LRA.
Another rebel group operating in western Uganda and eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, near the Rwenzori Mountains, the Allied Democratic Forces, emerged as a localized threat in 1996 and has inflicted substantial suffering on the population in the area. It has largely been defeated by the UPDF and the areas secured.
The Uganda Peoples Defense Force (UPDF)--previously the National Resistance Army--constitutes the armed forces of Uganda. Due to the Sudanese-backed insurgencies, the Ministry of Defense increased defense spending in 1995, 1996, and 1997. U.S. military forces in the past have participated with the UPDF in training activities for the African Crisis Response Initiative. U.S. military assistance was terminated in 2000 as a result of the Ugandan incursion into the DRC and engagement with Rwandan forces.
U.S.-Ugandan relations were strained and ultimately all but broken during Idi Amin's rule. In 1973, persistent security problems and increasingly difficult operating circumstances forced withdrawal of U.S. Peace Corps volunteers and the termination of bilateral U.S. economic assistance. In November 1973, after repeated public threats against U.S. embassy officials and after the expulsion of Marine security guards responsible for protecting U.S. Government property and personnel, the embassy was closed. In 1978, Congress legislated an embargo of all U.S trade with Uganda.
Relations improved after Amin's fall. In mid-1979, the United States reopened its embassy in Kampala. Relations with successor governments were cordial, although Obote and his administration rejected strong U.S. criticism of Uganda's human rights situation. Bilateral relations between the United States and Uganda have been good since Museveni assumed power, and the United States has welcomed his efforts to end human rights abuses and to pursue economic reform. At the same time, the United States remains concerned about continuing human rights problems and the pace of progress toward the establishment of political pluralism.
In the early-to mid-1980s, the United States provided about $10 million in assistance to Uganda annually, mostly in the form of humanitarian aid (food, medical supplies, hospital rehabilitation, and disaster relief) and agricultural equipment needed to promote economic recovery in the food and cash crop sectors of Uganda's rural economy. The U.S. Agency for International Development currently is funding a multifaceted development program at a level of about $80 million per year, both direct assistance and Food for Peace commodities.
The Department of State has carried out a cultural exchange program aiding the National Theater and other cultural institutions, bringing Fulbright professors to teach at Makerere University, and sponsoring U.S. study and tour programs for many government officials. U.S. Peace Corps maintains volunteers in the country working in education.
Significant contributions to Ugandan health care, nutrition, education, and park systems from U.S. missionaries, non-governmental organizations, private universities, AIDS researchers, and wildlife organizations have brought long-term benefits to U.S.-Ugandan relations.

I've run the mini-adventure "Stormtower" from Dungeon Magazine twice (it is most notable for being the campaign from one of the Penny Arcade D&D podcasts). The first and last map in the adventure are easily built with dungeon tiles, but the middle three are not so I thought I'd share what I built for those.
I've used maps posted on this forum in my campaigns for years, trying to start giving back!

File:Sunspot Numbers.png
From Global Warming Art
This figure summarizes the 400 years of regular sunspot number observations. Since ~1749, continuous monthly averages of sunspot activity have been available and are shown here as reported by the Solar Influences Data Analysis Center, World Data Center for the Sunspot Index, at the Royal Observatory of Belgium. These figure are based on an average of measurements from many different observatories around the world. Prior to 1749, sporadic observations of sunspots are available. These were compiled and placed on consistent monthly framework by Hoyt & Schatten (1998a, 1998b).
The most prominent feature of this graph is the ~11 year solar magnetic cycle which is associated with the natural waxing and waning of solar activity.
On longer time scales, the sun has also shown considerable variability, including the long Maunder Minimum when almost no sunspots were observed, the less severe Dalton Minimum, and increased sunspot activity during the last fifty years, known as the Modern Maximum. The causes for these variations are not well understood, but because sunspots and associated faculae affect the brightness of the sun, solar luminosity is lower during periods of low sunspot activity. It is widely believed that the low solar activity during the Maunder Minimum and earlier periods may be among the principle causes of the Little Ice Age. Similarly, the Modern Maximum is partly responsible for global warming, especially the temperature increases between 1900 and 1950. Residual warming due to the sustained high level of activity since 1950 is believed responsible for 16 to 36% of recent warming (Stott et al. 2003).

I'm interested in buying a go-pro camera ,there's a 299 .00 camera and a 399.00 camera any feed back on either camera?
I'm interested in buying a go-pro camera ,there's a 299 .00 camera and a 399.00 camera any feed back on either camera?
I would recommend the JVC adixxion over go pro. It is lighter, less to no noticible fish eye water proof right out of the box. Has a mount on the side and the bottom.
Overall a better product and less money.
I hunt because......
Are you using it for hunting? If so GoPros have there place but the audio leaves a lot to be desired. Also you cannot zoom in or out with a GoPro they are pretty much point and shoot.I would rather have a smaller video camera than a GoPro. Mark
Depends what you are using it for. No zoom with most POV cameras like GoPro and without a flat lens, the GoPro underwater footage is blurry. Here is one of my fishing videos on the crystal clear Devils River in Texas. I was running two GoPros at the same time and my underwater camera did have the flat lens on it.
Footage looked good to me, but I take u had to go threw the expense of changing lens?
Thanks for ur input, I'll check out the jvc first I heard of them.
Yes for hunting.
Another thing to consider is that the footage looks good out to about 30yds or so on a animal. After that due to the lens a animal looks far away and cannot be zoomed in on. I use a Contour point and shoot on the boat and have the same problem with underwater film. The object has to be fairly close for good detail unless you are just using it for landscape or really close up video for fill in footage. As mentioned before the audio is not good at all. I personally like outdoor video with good audio.

I already have a small Sony video recorder , It's good if u r already set up in a blind or treestand ,It's a pain in the butt if ur running and gunning, so I'm trying to find something to fill that void, ,of all the different action cams out there they all seem to have their plus and minus's so just trying to get actual hunting experience on them all before spending more money,LOL

Khalip won for her ongoing investigative reporting on President Alexander Lukashenko's regime, for which she's been intimidated, detained, and beaten.
But she is not one of The Winners, documented by photographer Rafal Milach, a project made possible with assistance from the Magnum Foundation, as part of his ongoing work about propaganda in post-Soviet bloc countries. Unlike Khalip, who was under house-arrest last year, Warsaw-based Milach was warmly welcomed and shown the very best of Belarus. Milach met and photographed the winners of regional and town competitions put on by the state: the best National Library worker; the best welder of the Republic of Belarus; the best maid of the Belarus hotel (her personal best in changing sheets is 33 seconds); the best milkmaid of the Slutsk region (her personal best is 1160 liters of milk); and the president of AOA Otichestvo (the most productive potato farm of the Republic of Belarus), among many others.
As he worked, Milach noticed that the potato farm sponsored swimming pools and schools and appeared to be quite prosperous despite an economy that's generally on the decline. But Milach, who has been working in Central Europe for more than 10 years—approaching ideas about propaganda from political, social, and visual perspectives—is well aware that appearances in post-Soviet countries like Belarus, often called the last remaining dictatorship in Europe, are usually just that: facades. Likewise, Milach's subjects—sometimes partially, if not totally obscured—are just stand-ins, mere ideas or illusions. They are no one in particular, as exceptional as they may be.
Outside of Belarus, journalists like Khalip receive due respect—in 2005, she was recognized by TIME as a European Hero for "changing the world for the better." In Belarus, as Milach's work makes conspicuous, the welders, milkmaids, potato farmers, and fitness instructors are feted.
Milach notes he has not shown The Winners in Belarus. "[The photos] will certainly be received differently in Belarus than somewhere outside." He expects a book in early 2014.
Rafal Milach is a photographer and bookmaker based in Warsaw, Poland. He is represented by INSTITUTE and was a participant in the World Press Photo Joop Swart Masterclass, 2007.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - Every once in a while you hear a story of a person who has overcome unthinkable adversity to rise above and soar. Thursday night, the Children's Defense Fund honored several such teens, one of whom is 17-year-old Eva maria Turcios.
It's not often video exists of the most terrifying night of your life, but for 17-year-old Eva Maria Turcios of Alexandria,, news cameras captured her turning point. In 2006, police say her dad attacked two friends with a machete. Then he went on the run.
Eva explains the impact. "That completely changed my life because my dad wasn't there anymore. The police were at our house constantly. Basically, I was forced to grow up, I couldn't be a kid anymore," she said.
Up until that point, Turcios had already had a rough childhood. "My dad was an alcoholic, and that affected the family, because he lost his job and he was abusive towards my mom and eventually towards me and my brothers and sisters."
After her dad left, her mom had to support four kids alone. Turcios was 11. The high school student remembers it as a tough time. "Not having enough to eat, not having a place to live, and not having support from other people," she said.
Eva practically raised her brothers and sisters. She went to school, she worked, and she maintained a 3.8 G.P.A. On Thursday night, the Children's Defense Fund awarded her a $10,000 scholarship, a laptop, and guidance through the college admissions process, along with nine other winners. The program is called "Beat the Odds." It was started in 1990 to reward young people who've "experienced significant hardship in their lives and supports and trains them to become future leaders in adulthood."
Eva says she's thankful for the scholarship and for the life she's lived. She said, "I don't regret having to face those obstacles because I actually feel lucky that it made me the person that I am now."
Turcios' dad has been in and out of her life. Last year, he was deported. Turcios says the scholarship has given her an opportunity to reflect. "All these years I've had kind of hate for him because of all he put us through, but I guess after winning this scholarship, I changed my way of thinking and found that I can't hate him because he's my dad and, he's not here, but I still have a lot of opportunity," she said.
Turcios is applying to colleges now. She wants to study science or medicine. And she says one day she wants to make sure her mom doesn't have to work anymore.
The event was hosted by CBS Evening News' Byron Pitts. The other 2012 Beat The Odds recipients are: Margaret Hobbins, Jennifer Jiminez, Ana Gloribel Pereira, and Kieu-thu Kim Tran.

Video: 1 In Critical Condition, After Multiple Fires In Prince Geor
PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. (WUSA) -- An Upper Marlboro woman who was in critical condition after her home burned down Sunday morning has died, announced Prince George's County fire officials on Monday morning.
The fire was one of three fires that kept Prince George's County firefighters busy on Sunday. Smoke poured out of the basement of a home on Peachleaf Court near Largo Road in Upper Marlboro around 3 a.m. on Sunday.
A smoke detector triggered an alarm and alerted the fire department. When firefighters arrived they found a 50-year-old woman inside.
"At that point she was unconscious, not breathing, and had no pulse," Prince George's County Spokesman Mark Brady said.
Paramedics were able to revive her before taking her to the hospital with burns and smoke inhalation. On Monday, fire officials say the woman had second degree and third degree burns over about a third of her body.
According to fire officials, the woman died from her injuries late on Sunday at the Prince George's Hospital Center in Cheverly.
Investigators estimate that there was about $30,000 of damage from the fire.
Investigators don't know the exact cause but believe it was accidental. They do know the cause of two other fires that burned Sunday morning that worry firefighters.
Around 1 a.m. Sunday morning, a driver on the Capital Beltway saw smoke billowing from a home on Palco Place near Rhode Island Avenue in College Park.
Investigators believe the cause was a malfunctioning furnace. The homeowner had just flipped it on for the first time this season
"When weather turns a little bit colder we get extremely busy," Brady said.
A space heater destroyed a three story apartment building on Windom Road in Hyattsville. The Red Cross is helping the roughly 30 people who have been displaced.
Reneece Brinkley lost everything, "except some of my clothes but it's smoked out. I have to start over."
Residents knocked on people's doors to wake people up around 8:30 a.m. Firefighters had to rescue people from their balconies.
Brady says heating appliances cause the most fires in November, December and January and cause the most home fatalities in Prince George's County and across the country. Brady says to have your furnace checked out annually. You can usually have that done for under $100.

Building A Simple Knife Block
The other day I was at my mother-in-laws house for dinner and she asked me if I could make something for her. I already had several irons in the fire but what was one more.
Before I even knew what it was, I told her "yes" so I was committed to the project, large or small.
She walked over to her kitchen counter and picked up a small knife block and set it on the dining room table in front of me. I looked at it and said, "Is that it?" I was shocked and relieved that I had just been asked to do one of the simplest woodworking projects I had ever seen. She told me she wanted some more to set out on the tables during large family gatherings and parties.
That evening I took her store bought version with me as a sample, even though it was not really necessary.
The next day, I gathered up some wood scraps and cut offs I had sitting around the woodshop and immediately went to work.
The cores of the Knife Blocks are 2" wide, 5" long and 2" thick. I put a full kerf blade in my table saw and set the height of the blade and my fence to the spacing I desired. After a few passes through the table saw, I had 6 slots for the knives. I cut two 1/4" side panels for each block and glued them in place.
After a little sanding and finishing the Knife Blocks were complete. The setup process was so quick and easy; I made about 20 Knife Blocks and plan to pass them out to the rest of the family.
So, if you are looking for a simple project to make your mother-in -law happy, make her a Knife Block for her knives.
Just remember not to start making jokes when she's putting the knives in it!

Looking to drop some weight off my bow for packing in and was curious to what some of you guys think
Ive been eyeing axt products pretty hard. The carbon carnivore looks awesome.
whats the weight on that one hard stalk ? the octane deadlock is the one I'm eye balling says it holds 5 arrows and weighs .4 lbs
does any one use the hha sight i would love to go to a 1 pin sight just worried about having to range and adjust the sight in a fast paced hunting cesnairo
Kwikee 3 comes in at 5.6 oz. -- but you only get 3 arrows.
Here is a link for the carbon carnivore.
Here is there quiver the carbon vapor.
They have more sights and quivers on their site.
Axt is a great quiver but i really like the new carbon tight spot. Super light very adjustable. And did i say light?
This might be a little off subject. Do you guys , if you have time, knock an arrow and take your quiver w/ arrows off you bow and set it aside? I shoot much better without my quiver and can hold my bow much longer.

Angel Berry Fluff
from the kitchen of Nancy J. Larson
1 angel food cake, purchased or homemade
6 oz. package strawberry Jello
2 cups boiling water
16 oz. container of sliced, frozen strawberries (frozen)
2- 8 oz. containers of Cool Whip (thawed)
Make Jello according to the directions, dissolving jello in 2 cups of boiling water.
Instead of the cold water, stir in the frozen strawberries.
By the time all the berries are broken up and blended in, the mixture should be starting to gel – fold in one container of the whipped topping.
Tear or cut the angel food cake in cubes and put it in the bottom of a 13X9 inch pan or glass baking dish, or layer ½ of it in a large bowl.
Layer the strawberry mixture over the cake, then another layer of cake, and the strawberry mixture.
Chill completely. Top with Cool Whip. Garnish with fresh strawberries!
Make it low fat using low fat or lite Cool Whip, and sugar-free Jello. You could also pick your own berries, crush and freeze them without added sugar.
Terri's notes:
~ This one is Fundraiser tested and approved by all!
~ Nancy layers this dessert in a pan and it cuts nicely to serves. I made mine in a Trifle Bowl and spooned it out to serve. Both were pretty and delicious.
~ I went for the extra fruit and added a middle layer of fresh, sliced strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, then topped it with more of the same.
~ It's even better the second day.
~ Can't wait to try this with red raspberries and raspberry Jello.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) -- Mike Rosario scored 19 points and Patric Young added 18 as No. 10 Florida cruised to a 68-47 victory over Texas A&M on Thursday night.
The Aggies led by one point midway through the first half before a big run by the Gators gave them a 35-18 halftime lead, and they didn't let up in the second half.
It was a letdown for Texas A&M (12-4, 2-1 Southeastern Conference), which was coming off an 83-71 victory at Kentucky on Saturday. Elston Turner scored a career-high 40 points in that win, but managed just four points Thursday on 1-of-10 shooting.
It is the fifth straight win for Florida (13-2, 3-0) which is in the midst of playing four of five games on the road

Fuqua was born on May 30, 1965 in the rough-and-tumble Homewood neighborhood in Pittsburgh, PA. Raised in a good home - his father was a foreman for Heinz, his mother a medical technician - Fuqua, nonetheless, confronted the nightmares of living in a violent neighborhood, finding dead bodies in the alley, dodging a bullet at age 14, and suffering a stroke a year later from all the stress. But Fuqua was a good student and a talented basketball player - two gifts that helped elevate him out of the ghetto and into the University of West Virginia on an athletic scholarship, where he also studied electrical engineering.

234 W. 44th St., 212-221-8440, Times Square, Manhattan
Make a beeline for the upstairs saloon after a show. A wall of windows overlooks the Broadhurst Theatre, and, if you time it right, you can see Tom Hanks signing autographs after tearing up the stage in Lucky Guy. Sardi's has a sea of big tables, and it's not uncommon for an entire cast to be gathered around one, telling tales and clinking glasses. Yes, tourists predominate, but locals have a soft spot for it, too, perhaps because the classic cocktails are strong and not badly priced. Sadly, the signature cheese spread and crackers are no longer free, but you don't have to shell out a lot for a late-night supper. Split the giant chicken club sandwich and french fries or get an appetizer portion of the creamy cannelloni au gratin. There's such a convivial vibe here that strangers often strike up conversations with one another—and, of course, it's always amusing to behold the caricatures of showbiz folk deluging the walls.

Wardapi Jukurrpa (Goanna Dreaming) - Yarripurlangu, 2009, Acrylic on Canvas, by Tess Napaljarri Ross (#2010.7.1)
A selection of Australian Aboriginal paintings created as part of the ceremonies celebrating Jukurrpa or Dreamtime. Tjukurrpa can be interpreted as an embodiment of creation that gives meaning to everything for the Australian Aboriginal people. It establishes the rules governing relationships between the people, land, animals and all things organic, inorganic and spiritual existing in tribal territories. These relationships, their details and stories are the inspiration of the Tjukurrpa paintings.

Ronda : Michelin's recommendations
The town occupies an extraordinary setting in the Serranía de Ronda, a mountain chain where bandoleros (bandits) often found refuge in the 18C and 19C. Built on a rocky plateau through which the River Gualdevin has carved the deep El Tajo gorge, Ronda commands spectacular views from every angle. Its unique architecture is also delightful, with its mix of Muslim buildings and churches, a dramatic bridge, and a plaza de toros which still hosts famous bullfights.

Darryl Starbird, Builder Of The Year - 2009 Detroit AutoramaWritten by Chuck Vranas on July 1, 2009 Darryl Starbird, Builder Of The Year
One of the most significant honors awarded during the 57th Detroit Autorama was to Darryl Starbird who was recognized as Builder of the Year with an amazing array of his custom cars on display. Recognized worldwide as The Bubble Top King, Darryl's career spans more than 60 years and his designs have been influential in the world of hot rodding for decades with many of them still being used today.
With beginnings dating back to his teens growing up in Wichita, Kansas he began honing his customizing skills with his first car, a '41 Ford drop-top, treating it to a Continental kit, rear skirts, '48 Chrysler rear bumper, and a cool rake. It was at this time when Darryl began to learn metal crafting, leading him to become more deeply involved with reshaping panels and creating signature looks that had never before been seen.
In 1954, at the age of 21 he opened the doors of the Star Kustom Shop and during that year his first feature on a '47 Cadillac appeared on the pages of Rod & Custom. As the years passed numerous cars would receive the Starbird touch, and in 1959 he received his first cover feature with a '55 Plymouth in Hot Rod.
It was also the year Darryl undertook creating his most radical design when he hauled a wrecked '56 Thunderbird into the shop and in 11 intense weeks brought the Predicta to life. The Predicta was unlike anything the automotive world had ever before seen, with its space-age restyling, first-ever Lucite bubble top, cockpit interior, and tiller steering. Debuting at the National Roadster Show in 1960, it set the automotive world on fire, won the top honors of the show, and set the pace for customizing for years to come.
A deal with Monogram Models would allow Darryl's Predicta and future Starbird designs to come to life atop kitchen tables across America. At this time Darryl opened a much larger shop known as Starbird Custom Auto Creations while he continued to create countless other bubble tops, including the Forcasta, Fantabula, Electra, and the wild three-wheeled Futurista. In total, eleven bubble-top creations would roll out of the shop in addition to numerous other award-winning customs. As the decades moved on, Darryl continued to bring many more designs to life, often using modern production vehicles and even melding cutting-edge chassis and drivetrain combinations with those of vintage bodies.
Today Darryl is still active in the custom car world while operating the Starbird National Rod & Custom Car Museum and Hall of Fame in Afton, Oklahoma alongside his lovely wife of 55 years, Donna. He still has a workshop on the museum grounds and is primarily focused now on restoration of past Starbird creations when he's not on the road doing personal appearances. An inspiration to us all, Darryl has truly left his mark on the custom car world.

It was wonderful to see Darryl meeting and greeting many of his fans throughout the weekend. With countless stories to share it was a weekend to remember for everyone.Monogram Models approached Darryl in `63 to build a full-size version of their Big T model kit for a sweepstakes giveaway. Once awarded, the car never resurfaced and Darryl replicated the car with Predator Performance to its original glory as seen here.Nothing says performance like a hopped-up vintage 283ci V-8 nailed to the `rails. Darryl made sure that the Big T would have plenty of power thanks to loads of go-fast goodies, including Tri-power, a hot cam, and just enough chrome to dazzle your eyes.
Originally owned by Dave Stuckey, then Larry Farber, and Monogram; Darryl purchased the Li'l Coffin in 1967 from Monogram. It was shown in three different forms and almost burned to the ground in 1981 before Darryl restored it to perfection as seen today.With the Crystal Ball Merc, Darryl chopped the `51 coupe 4 inches and gave it a true fastback look, while the body was sectioned 4-inches. It was treated to endless custom updates including '54 Buick side trim and a custom grille bar. It was then placed on an '87 Chrysler LeBaron platform (complete with its interior) and finished in decadent House of Kolor candy red.Cristina is Darryl's latest effort, which started out as a rare '41 Lincoln Continental. In order to place it on a 2000 Lincoln Continental chassis, Darryl widened the body by 6 inches, reshaped and widened the fenders, designed a new windshield and posts, and also sectioned the body 4 inches. In addition, he shortened the rear quarter panels 12 inches before finalizing the car with a mirror finish of maroon and silver gloss.Only Darryl could bring back a '34 Buick sedan with lines as slick as the Deuzybird. Long hours spent in the shop with a torch and a vision led him down the path of creation on this looker, which has more curves on it than the track at Laguna Seca!Darryl and his lovely wife Donna, together for nearly 60 years, are fixtures on the custom car scene. From Star Kustom Shop through producing car shows and continuing to create superb custom cars, they have both made an impact on our hobby.Starting with a '72 Camaro, Cliff Starbird worked with his Dad Darryl to create the radical custom known as Starship. Sectioning the body 5 inches, Cliff also extended and restyled the front end using steel tubing and sheetmetal while reshaping the rear of the body as well. The crowning touch on the car is the dramatic blue split-bubble top.These two vintage images from the Darryl Starbird collection give us a glimpse back to the day when both the Fantabula (above) and the Forcasta (right) debuted...........These cars followed the Predicta and went on to prove that Darryl was a major force when it came to creating awe-inspiring bubble tops.
.....Darryl then opened Starbird Custom Car Creations featuring an eight-bay shop, glass showroom, and stylish offices......When it comes to Darryl Starbird, nuthin' but nuthin' is ever off the shelf. He designs and builds everything, be it his home, his boat, or the very tools he works with, this automotive rotisserie being no exception.While Daryl didn't build the Li'l Coffin he was fortunate enough to end up with it and took the time, effort, and expense to restore it to its former glory.

FORT BELVOIR, Va. (WUSA) --- The spirit of Thanksgiving starts in the kitchen with families preparing for the holiday meal. Unfortunately, members of the military cannot always be home and may miss out on a traditional home-cooked meal.
But with help from USO Metropolitan Washington, one local military family is making sure the area's service men and women get the traditional Thanksgiving meal this year.
For over five years, the Herrera family invites local military men and women into their home during Thanksgiving to enjoy homemade turkey, trimmings, and good company.
"I do it because a lot of times, people are away from their families. We do it for them and we do it for people that would rather not spend it in a chow hall. They want the familiarity of home, and family," said Cecelia Herrera as she and her three boys cook in her kitchen.
Herrera's husband is U.S. Army Sergeant Hilario Herrera. As the wife of a military serviceman, she understands the difficulty of preparing food for the holidays when you have just relocated or are away from family.
Years ago her family got a USO Turkeys for Troops holiday gift basket for Thanksgiving. With the basket Herrera was able to prepare the Thanksgiving dinner.
"We had lost power for like the whole week leading up to Thanksgiving. He went and picked up this huge basket...and just showed up with it. And it was like 'This is awesome! Everything's right here,'" Herrera said.
This year Herrera will be cooking Thanksgiving dinner for about a dozen local military guests.
"USO has told me that they'll give me...two turkeys," said Herrera.
She will prepare them along with a salt ham, sugar ham, several side dishes including mashed potatoes and green beans. In addition, Herrera also adds some foods of her own like spanikopita and egg rolls.
To families like the Herreras, USO Turkeys for Troops gives service men and women more than just food. The program offers an opportunity to be in a family environment.
"It's huge...to know that somebody is reaching out to us as military members, that just shows just how much they appreciate us," said Herrera.

Special deliveries
Religion | Churches are coming up with creative ways to meet struggling people's physical needs-and opening doors to address their even deeper spiritual needs
"Special deliveries" Continued...
Cecil Johnson is certain he once met an angel. It was on July 28, 1996. Fleeing a decades-long crack cocaine habit, Mr. Johnson had left Eustis, Fla., the day before on foot and walked all night in a soaking Southern rain. He was determined to hitch a ride to Atlanta.
"I just needed to get out from around drugs," he said. It was a humble departure for a man who had once been an uptown drug dealer, spending lavishly on the ladies from a suitcase full of cash he kept in the trunk of his canary-yellow Lincoln Towncar.
That was before the dope got hold of his soul. By the mid-'80s, "I wasn't the dealer anymore," Mr. Johnson says. "I was his best customer." But by 1996, he was tired of that. So, 48 years old, drug-ravaged, and broke, Cecil Johnson took off walking. He wept as he went, crying out to a God he had never met.
Night passed and morning came. Then, at a service station at the intersection of Highways 44 and 441 near Leesburg, Fla., up drove a man in a pickup truck. Mr. Johnson told the driver he was headed for Atlanta, but the man took him instead to a men's rehabilitation home run by First Baptist Church (FBC) of Leesburg. The man arranged for Mr. Johnson to stay at the home, then told him, "I have to leave now, but I'll be back to check on you."
"He ain't been back yet," Mr. Johnson says of the man who was at least an angel of mercy, "but thank God he took me there."
His feelings echo those of hundreds helped through FBC's "high touch" outreaches to the needy. The church is among many in the nation delivering compassion in innovative ways that meet both physical and spiritual needs.
Situated an hour west of Orlando, FBC today runs more than 60 programs for the poor, imprisoned, divorced, ill, unwed-and-pregnant, addicted, and otherwise needy. Such outreach began 25 years ago, when new senior pastor Charles Roesel kept hammering home a message: that FBC had a responsibility to really help people. A number of ideas evolved, including one that wasn't too popular: The church could buy the two-story house across the street from FBC and open a shelter to help men recover from drug and alcohol problems.
The notion split the church nearly in half. Those in favor cited the Bible's mandate to help the needy. Those opposed noted that the house was 75 feet from the church's front steps. Was it such a good idea to have a houseful of drunks and addicts so near?
The plan to build the shelter prevailed, and its success soon changed the minds of the dissenters. "The impact of the shelter was astounding," said FBC executive pastor Art Ayris. First, a few men-not all, he is quick to add-kicked drugs and got their lives turned around. Some made commitments to follow Christ; some found jobs.
Cecil Johnson did both. He not only kicked crack and joined FBC, where he worked as a groundskeeper and became an usher, then a deacon-he also got married, opened his own landscaping business, and now has four men working for him.
Since opening the men's home FBC has expanded its works of compassion, opening a pregnancy care center, a community health clinic, a women's shelter, a children's shelter, and a children's group home. All combine Christian teaching and varying levels of evangelism, from low-key with kids to direct biblical instruction in the case of adult addicts. "We meet all kinds of needs, but we understand that people's greatest need is reconciliation with God through Christ," Mr. Ayris said. "We've found that when you help with physical needs, people are much more open to the gospel."
Tom Shirk agrees. Pastor of Calvary Bible Church in Boulder, Colo., Mr. Shirk said volunteers from his congregation have brought the gospel to city- and county-run social services programs such as Heritage House, a 12-bed county-run foster home for teenage girls. Calvary connected with Heritage last fall when the church began taking on "kingdom assignments," a series of innovative, compassion-centered outreach challenges. One assignment called for volunteers to sell one possession worth at least $100 and donate the money to a church fund designated for helping Boulder's needy.
The 115-year-old congregation hadn't always looked at Boulder as a mercy mission. In fact, most leaders and members viewed the city as a godless and politically hostile university town in which Calvary was more of a refuge for believers than a lighthouse for the lost. But during the '90s, said Mr. Shirk, "We committed ourselves to bringing blessing." Members of the congregation began to volunteer at local social service organizations, including homeless shelters, rehabilitation centers, and homes for displaced children and youth. Then in 2003 came the series of "kingdom assignments," further lifting the century-old bushel from over Calvary's light.
When the church challenged members to sell a valuable possession, 200 did, raising $83,000 for various programs, including a $15,000 check for Heritage House. "When we took it to them, we sat in a circle with Heritage directors and some of the girls, and they just wept," Mr. Shirk said. "They couldn't believe people would bring them resources like that from a church."
The home used some of the money to start an onsite computer lab, and some to meet the individual educational needs of residents. Calvary women visit the home regularly, cooking large meals for the girls. The Heritage staff has allowed at least one onsite Bible study.
Mr. Shirk said Calvary is now taking its outreaches to the next phase: "We're asking, 'How do we turn these good deeds into good news?'"
Kelly had never heard the good news when she moved into the Wellspring Home, a church-run women's rehabilitation home in Peachtree City, Ga. Diagnosed schizophrenic and bipolar at 14, she survived a rocky adolescence, then bounced between college and drug rehab, until marrying in 1996 a man who that Christmas beat her up so badly a judge sentenced him to three years in prison.
The couple reunited on his release, but split in summer 2003 only to hook up again for a business deal: "He would pimp me out," said Kelly, who asked that WORLD use only her first name for safety reasons. "We both came up with a master plan to do this. He was driving me and I was giving him the money. For a while, I felt good. In a warped way, I thought I was helping him pay his bills."
A month into it, though, she wanted to stop. "It was making me feel disgusting. It was something I had always looked down on other people for, even strippers and exotic dancers."
There are plenty of those in Metro Atlanta. According to Wellspring co-founder Mary Frances Bowley, about 6,000 young women participate in the city's sex industry-strip clubs, dance clubs, prostitution. Most have suffered severe trauma at an early age. That's why two area churches teamed with a program called Victoria's Friends to open Wellspring, a Christ-centered refuge for women escaping sexploitation.
Victoria's Friends is a nonprofit that reaches out to women trapped in the sex industry. Southcrest Church in Noonan, Ga., and Grace Evangelical Church in Fayetteville joined with the group and a local contractor to fund, build, and open Wellspring in January 2002. Today, 22 Atlanta churches support the six-bed facility with donations and volunteers.
Wellspring's program is nine months long-six months residential and three months living in a transitional "host home" with a Christian family or woman, during which the women are required to work. During the residential portion, residents concentrate on recovery. Church volunteers teach classes on self-care and practical living, but the greatest emphasis is on Christ.
Kelly is now living in a host home. Her husband hadn't wanted her to quit prostitution, and a series of threats led to his final assault: While they sat in his truck one day, he wrapped his hands around her throat and began to strangle her. Kelly struggled for breath and kicked wildly, finally cracking his windshield. When she managed to mouth "I love you," he stopped his attack.
Kelly cycled through mania and depression. "I was completely out of control, drunk most of the time, depressed, suicidal," she said. Her behavior landed her in jail, where she spent last Christmas and New Year's Eve. While there, she heard about Wellspring and was accepted into the program.
"Those first six months just gave me time to concentrate on getting better," she said. "I was able to learn how to deal with everyday life. I got up every morning and learned about God. I didn't know God. . . . I didn't know the only way we find significance is through God."
Now in Wellspring's host-home phase, Kelly works in a restaurant making sandwiches. She spends evenings visiting her 8-year-old son at her parents' house. Her plans beyond Wellspring mainly involve putting one foot in front of the other-but along a path she'd thought was out of reach until now.
"I plan on getting up in the morning, getting my son on the school bus, going to work, and being here when my son gets home," she says, adding that she's trying to mend her relationship with him after multiple stints in rehab built distance between them.
Meanwhile, Wellspring's founding churches are trying to provide a conduit for Christian families and individuals to help those in need.
"I think people want to be compassionate, but they've got a lot on their own agendas," said Ms. Bowley. "Setting their own lives aside to invest in someone else has not been a priority. If we could help the churches see that, what a gift that would be."

Centre for Environment Education
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Centre for Environment Education
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionInputs from Centre for Environment Education (CEE), India for Zero Draft - Rio plus 20 Conference 1. The Zero Draft should emphasize on the need for an alternative path to sustainable development that is not imitative but learns from the existing development models anywhere in the world and adapts to the local context and the environment. For developing countries especially, the real challenge is not ?how to get there? but ?how not to follow the same path?. This means an approach that encourages/fosters making choices that are indeed different, appropriate and sustainable. While the rich nations will need to rethink lifestyles and retool themselves, for the developing world there is the opportunity to leapfrog, going straight to a sustainable society rather than following the classical route of becoming a carbon intensive industrial country. In order for societies to make these choices, we need to build capacity and provide appropriate skills and this can be done through education. 2. The draft should highlight the key role education plays in changing mindsets, building capacity and providing skills, and developing abilities for critical thinking. Education should engage people in a discussion on values, ethics and sustainability. The Earth Charter is the clearest articulation of values and ethics required for sustainability which can be a guiding framework. Along with new technologies, environmental legislation, policy reform, international treaties, better monitoring and increased compliance, education is a key tool ? a tool that is an essential part of an environment and sustainability strategy. 3. The text of the draft should emphasize that children and Youth be involved in taking positive action to move towards sustainability. A measure of positive action called the Handprint was launched by CEE during the International Conference on Environmental Education in 2007 as a part of the series of conferences held during the United Nations Decade of Education of Sustainable Development (UNDESD). The Handprint analyses positive impact on the three aspects of sustainability: environment, society and economy. This is an idea of moving from ecological footprint to that of the Handprint. 4. The Zero Draft should strongly emphasize the need for strengthening of inclusive and participatory decision making through consultative processes as a strategy to move towards sustainability. Education is one of the key drivers to achieve the goals of green economy. UNDESD is a major opportunity to promote role of Education for Sustainable Development in moving towards a green economy and for strengthening institutional frameworks and processes.

The Frederick County Sheriff's Office is investigating a bloody melee early Tuesday morning that sent four people to area hospitals, including three who were suffering from stab wounds.
Deputies went to the 7200 block of Black Creek Lane in Frederick just before 1 a.m. for a report of a disturbance, sheriff's office spokeswoman Cpl. Jennifer Bailey said.
They found about 50 people involved in a large fight, she said.
Deputies discovered three men, ages 18, 21 and 23, and a 17-year-old boy suffering from injuries. Three of the four had been stabbed in the upper torso, Bailey said. All four were Frederick residents.
The 17- and 18-year-old were flown by Maryland State Police helicopter to R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma, where the juvenile remains hospitalized, Bailey said.
The 18-year-old was treated and released, as were the other two men, who were taken by ambulance to Frederick Memorial Hospital.
People began leaving as deputies arrived, Bailey said. Deputies established a perimeter to secure the scene and question potential witnesses.
Several people were detained for questioning, but no arrests were made.
Bailey said investigators are still trying to find out who may have been involved in the fight and what role they played, as well as determine the circumstances that led to the fight.
"A lot of information is still out there, and there are a lot of people who have not been identified who were attending the party," Bailey said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Dan Romeril at 301-600-3996.
The Enchanted Forest theme park closed for good in the 1990s. But the owner of a nearby farm has moved and preserved many of its parts.

Crawford and Ray Emery combined on a 21-save shutout, as the Chicago
Blackhawks kept their historic start rolling with a 3-0 victory over the St.
Louis Blues on Thursday at Scottrade Center.
Crawford stopped all six shots he faced in the first, but appeared wobbly as
he went to the locker room at intermission. Emery entered to start
the second and saved 15 shots over the final two frames to extend Chicago's
record-setting, season-opening point streak to 20 games at 17-0-3.
Andrew Shaw scored once and Marian Hossa added a pair of helpers in the
Blackhawks' seventh straight victory overall.
Jaroslav Halak allowed all three goals on 23 shots for the Blues, who have
dropped three of their last four games.
