Funding Opportunities
One of the unique strengths of OWW is that it is not about 'raising money for charity' but about changing people's attitudes. However, if it suits your group, acquiring more funds can widen the scope of your events without compromising your voluntary ethos.
On this page you will find links to various funding opportunities that your group can apply for to help with the costs of an OWW event. We will do our best to inform you of any new grants that become available, and please don't hesitate to contact us if you know of any other funding opportunities whether local or national.
1. The Co-Operative Society - (updated 1 Sept. 2015)
OWW shares many values with the Co-operative movement. They may be able to provide you with vouchers for food for local events - Apply in writing (give at least 2 weeks notice) to the Manager of your local branch. Some Co-op Societies offer grants to local organisation for projects in the local community - your event might qualify.
(see other supermarkets below at 6.)
2. Church Urban Fund : The Near Neighbours Fund (updated 1 Sept 2015)
The Near Neighbours Fund is targeted at creating additional relationships in local communities across boundaries by enabling opportunities for deeper levels of communication and understanding in local neighbourhoods.
This is a rolling programme with no deadlines but it is due to run until March 2016. They will invest in environmental, social, cultural, artistic and sporting ideas but they need to fulfill certain criteria. See Manual here
The overall aim of the fund is to encourage stronger civil society in areas that are multi-religious and multi-ethnic by creating association, friendship and neighbourliness. It intends to bring together people of different faiths and of no faiths to transform local communities for the better.
As this is a major part of what OWW events aim to do you might well be able to get a grant to help you with your event IF you live in an eligible area - mainly large multi ethnic and multifaith cities - see whether you are in an eligible area.
3. Church Urban Fund: The Together Grant programme (posted 1 Sept 2015)
Provides small grants of up to £5,000 for faith based organisations to engage in social action, by supporting them to initiate or develop community work. Some of you (in England only) may be eligible - Check it out here and the Together Grants Manual here
4. Community Development Foundation – updated 1 Sept. 2015
You can find up to date guidance here about how to look for funding for community activities and links to funding websites
5. Waitrose (ongoing - updated 1 Sept 2015)
Has your local organising committee thought of applying to your local Waitrose Store for funding for your local event? If you stress your role in bringing the local community together to explore how to build a more sustainable and fairer world, you stand a chance of being selected. There is often a long lead-in time though so apply early and keep it general, as you might not get it in time for this year's theme but maybe next year!
This is from the Waitrose website: To be considered for a donation, good causes and charities should contact their local Waitrose branch store. Partners (Waitrose employees) will then vote which three causes to support each month at their branch's 'PartnerVoice' forum, a means of voicing opinion on branch issues. Customers and Partners can also put forward the names of organisations they would like their local branch to support by filling out a leaflet in store.
Shoppers then get to help decide how the sum is divided amongst the three selected organisations. They will be given a token at the checkout, which they can place in one of three boxes at the store exit, each allocated to a different cause. The amount a cause receives is directly proportional to the number of tokens they receive from customers.
6. Other Supermarkets (posted 1 Sept 2015)
A wide range of supermarkets offer grants for local community activities - see a recently compiled guide here
7. Ask your local (or County) Councillor
Many Councillors have a pot of money from which they can make small grants so it's worth applying for funds to help you with your OWW event that will enhance community relations and promote active citizenship.
8. The Big Lottery Fund: Awards for All
"We want to fund projects which address the issues, needs and aspirations of local communities and people. We will fund a wide range of community projects aimed at developing skills, improving health, revitalising the local environment and enabling people to become more active citizens." (My emphasis)
This is certainly what OWW seeks to do, so if you are planning something big you need to apply in good time (advice is 4 months in advance of the event or activity)
There are programmes for all parts of the UK, each with different funding ranges:
Awards for All England (£300 - £10,000 )
Awards for All Northern Ireland (£500 - £10,000 )
Awards for All Scotland (£500 - £10,000 )
Awards for All Wales (£500 - £5,000 )

HOUSTON (October 14, 2011)--Investigators say a fiery two-vehicle accident at a north Houston toll booth killed both drivers.
Harris County authorities say the crash involving a truck and a car happened shortly before 2:30 a.m. Friday at an unmanned toll booth.
Officials say an 18-wheeler evidently hit a concrete barrier, and then landed on the car.
Assistant Chief Deputy Constable Mark Herman said it appears the
person in the car had stopped to pay a toll when the accident happened.
The names of the victims have not been released.

W.Va. Needs Federal Storm Recovery Aid
New York and New Jersey clearly took the very worst Hurricane Sandy had to hand out earlier this week. Dozens of deaths – nearly 40 in New York City alone – and massive property damage resulted from what some have called the storm of a lifetime.
Obviously, federal officials should be making coastal states hurt badly by the storm a priority for recovery assistance.
That said, many West Virginians are hurting, too. While high wind and storm surges were ravaging some coastal areas, major snowfalls were occurring in our state. Some areas reportedly received more than three feet of snow.
At last count, about 104,000 customers still were without electric power in West Virginia. Six storm-related deaths had been reported. In some counties, nearly half the roads remained closed by snow and hundreds of people were trapped in their homes.
It appears federal officials are providing assistance to West Virginia. State officials already have commended the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Good. Keep it coming, FEMA. Though West Virginia has received little attention from the national news media, some of us need help, too.

WASHINGTON - It was the end of a 4-day, NBA-style road trip played in NBA arenas against traditional Big East powers. And, after 2 1/2 minutes in a late-night game at the Verizon Center, Villanova found itself down 8-0 against Georgetown.
If there was ever a time for this group to start thinking about the bus and the early-morning trip back to campus, it was that moment. Jay Wright calmly called a timeout and sent his players back on to the floor, 2 days after they had beaten Marquette in overtime and flown from Milwaukee straight to Washington, where they camped out at the JW Marriott awaiting tipoff.

Brief Summary
Common Names
Ridge-nosed rattlesnake
Holotype: FMNH 902
Type-locality: "Tombstone, Arizona." (McDiarmid et al., 1999).
A small rattlesnake with a coloration that matches the fallen leaf litter in its habitat. Placement of white face stripes (or lack thereof in the obscurus subspecies) distinguish the subspecies.
Found in the mid to high elevation oak-pine woodlands of southeastern Arizona, southwestern New Mexico, Sonora, Chihuahua, Durango and Zacatecas. Yet to be found in the woodlands of Sinaloa, Nayarit and Jalisco.
In the summer of 1900, ornithologist Francis Cottle Willard collected the type specimen of Crotalus willardi in the environs of Ramsey Canyon near the Hamburg mine and settlement in the Huachuca Mountains of southeastern Arizona. This was amended from Toombstone, Arizona by ornithologist Henry Swarth in 1921.
The snake was in a collection of Willard's specimens, which also included the type of the Southern Pacific Rattlesnake. This collection was acquired by Edmund C. Heller and ichthyologist Seth Eugene Meek reported on and described two new species in the collection: the Southern Pacific Rattlesnake (Crotalus [oreganus] helleri) in honor of Heller and the Ridge-nosed Rattlesnake (Crotalus willardi) in honor of Willard. The paper was published in 1905 but not printed until 1906. Ergo the citation for both species is "Meek 1905(1906)".
In 1897 the first specimen of C. willardi was collected for science on the Smithsonian Institution/United States National Museum of Natural History's Nelson-Goldman Mexican biological expedition (of several years). This was in the southern end of the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain chain on the Durango-Zacatecas state line and remains the southernmost specimen of the species.
In 1949, Laurence M. Klauber, the late preeminent authority on rattlesnakes, would describe this and other later southern specimens as the meridionalis subspecies (C. w. meridionalis: Southern Ridge-nosed Rattlesnake) in reference to the southern latitude of the subspecies as the southern extent of the species range.
In the same paper, apart from describing the nominate subspecies (C. w. willardi: Arizona Ridge-nosed Rattlesnake), Klauber would describe the silus subspecies (C. w. silus: Chihuahuan Ridge-nosed Rattlesnake) in reference to its snub nose for specimens from the northern Sierra Madre Occidental of Sonora and Chihuahua and some of its outlying mountain ranges in Sonora.
In 1959 James D. Anderson collected a specimen of the species from the Sierra del Nido mountain range in northwestern Chihuahua. He later described this isolated population as the amabilis subspecies (C. w. amabilis: Del Nido Ridge-nosed Rattlesnake) in reference to its beauty in 1962.
The last and most debated subspecies to be described was C. w. obscurus (New Mexico Ridge-nosed Rattlesnake), in reference to the lack of facial stripes characteristic of the species. In 1974, Herbert S. Harris Jr. perhaps unknowingly and unintentionally described C. w. obscurus in a popular non-peer-reviewed magazine describing its vulnerable status in the US by meeting the minimum international requirements of a species description.
He was later heavily criticized for this article after describing the subspecies with Robert S. Simmons in a more traditional species description in an article summarizing the paleogeography and morphology of C. willardi in 1976.
Apart from the 1974 article, the description also lacked apparent peer review (despite acknowledging reviewers) and was published in a the Bulletin of the Maryland Herpetological Society of which Harris was the chief editor (conflict of interest).
Despite unorthodoxy, C. w. obscurus was described in two publications owing to the fact that the second one designated paratypes, specific type locality and other key information lacking or unelaborated in the first. Authors continue to cite between Harris (1974) and Harris and Simmons (1976).
Many rattlesnake biologists didn't accept this taxon and considered it a variant population of C. w. silus (possibly knowing the unique status of the taxon but resisting the questionable methods of the taxon author(s)) until David L. Barker supported the status of all five subspecies using molecular data in 1992.
Recent range records include a specimen from the Sierra Pinitos in north central Sonora and a specimen from the Sierra Madera near Magdalena, Sonora. The former being the westernmost population in Mexico. Other ranges await documentation of the species in the US and Mexico.
The Ridge-nosed Rattlesnake, Crotalus willardi Meek 1905(1906) , is a Madrean species meaning that it is endemic to the high elevation ecoregions shared by the Sierra Madre mountain chains and their outlying ranges (sky islands) in Mexico. There are at least six significant mountain ranges that can fall under or be considered "Sierra Madre" according to West (1964) in Armstrong and Murphy (1979), Tamayo (1949) in Leopold (1972), and Flores-Villela (1993a). C. willardi is known only from the Sierra Madre Occidental and her outlying ranges.
More specifically, authors have subcategorized C. willardi and its subspecies as endemic to the woodland ecoregion and its subregions within the Sierra Madre Occidental under various names depending on one's reference. For this work the term Madrean Evergreen Woodland of Brown (1994) is used unless otherwise noted.
The species is thought to have lived in more tropical conditions at lower elevations ca. 15-39 million years ago during the early formation of the Sierra Madre Occidental and her outlying ranges, and persisted by adapting with the formation of the present Madrean Evergreen Woodland and the communities associated with it (Van Devender 1992). Authors attribute its current subspeciation to coincide with the geologic and climactic fluctuations that formed the specific woodlands of the Sierra Madre Occidental during the mid to late Pliocene and later pluvial periods of the Pleistocene (Axelrod 1950, 1958, Marshall 1957) when tropical biomes receded south and the oak-pine woodlands receded up in elevation being isolated by grassland and desert or thornforest (Van Devender 1992, Marshall 1957). These woodlands are part of the Northern Young Element of Savage (1960, 1966) that developed from tropical origin and closely associated with the Madro-Tertiary Geoflora, and the Arizona component of the Sierra Madrean woodland element of the Madro-Tertiary Geoflora of Axelrod (1950) (Harris and Simmons 1976, Felger and Wilson 1995).
Range Description
Subspecies obscurus occurs locally in the Animas Mountains (New Mexico), Peloncillo Mountains (Arizona and New Mexico), and Sierra de San Luis (Sonora and Chihuahua, Mexico) (Campbell et al. 1989, Holycross and Smith 1997, Campbell and Lamar 2004).
Subspecies willardi occurs in the Huachuca, Patagonia, Santa Rita, and Whetstone mountains of Arizona and southward into the Sierra de los Ojos, Sierra de Cananea, and Sierra Azul in north-central Sonora (Thirkhill and Starrett, 1992, Campbell and Lamar 2004).

Global Range: (200,000-2,500,000 square km (about 80,000-1,000,000 square miles)) The range extends from southeastern Arizona and extreme southwestern New Mexico south in the Sierra Madre Occidental through north-central and northeastern Sonora to western Chihuahua and (possibly disjunctly) to southern Durango and western Zacatecas, Mexico, at elevations of about 1,460-2,750 meters (4,790-9,020 feet) (Campbell and Lamar 2004).
Subspecies obscurus occurs locally in the Animas Mountains (New Mexico), Peloncillo Mountains (Arizona and New Mexico), and Sierra de San Luis (Sonora and Chihuahua, Mexico) (Campbell et al. 1989, Holycross and Smith 1997, Campbell and Lamar 2004).

Sierra Madre Occidental Pine-oak Forests Habitat
This taxon is found in the Sierra Madre Occidental pine-oak forests ecoregion, which boasts some of the richest biodiversity anywhere in North America, and contains about two thirds of the standing timber in Mexico. Twenty-three different species of pine and about 200 species of oak reside within the Sierra Madre Occidental pine-oak forests ecoregion.
Pine-oak forests here typically grow on elevations between approximately 1500 and 3300 meters, and occur as isolated habitat islands in northern areas within the Chihuahuan Desert. Soils are typically deep, where the incline allows soil build-up and derived from igneous material, although metamorphic rocks also form part of the soils in the west and northwest portions of the sierra. Steep-sloped mountains have shaped some portions of the Sierra, while others are dominated by their deep valleys, tall canyons and cliffs. These steep-sided cliffs have thinner soils limiting vegetation to chaparral types; characterized by dense clumps of Mexican Manzanita (Arctostaphylos pungens), Quercus potosina and Netleaf Oak (Q. rugosa). There are also zones of natural pasture, with grasses from the genera Arisitida, Panicum, Bromus and Stevis.
The pine-oak forests gradually transform into an oak-grassland vegetative association. Such communities represent an ecological transition between pine-oak forests and desert grasslands.. Here, species such as Chihuahuan Oak (Quercus chihuahuensis), Shin Oak (Q. grisea), Q. striatula and Emory Oak (Q. emoryi), mark a transition zone between temperate and arid environments, growing in a sparse fashion and with a well-developed herbaceous stratum resembling xeric scrub. Cacti are also part of these transition communities extending well into the woodlands. Some cacti species such as the Little Nipple Cactus (Mammillaria heyderi macdougalii), Greenflower Nipple Cactus (M. viridiflora), Mojave Mound Cactus (Echinocereus triglochidiatus), and Leding's Hedgehog Cactus (E. fendleri var. ledingii) are chiefly centered in these biotic communities. The dominant vegetation in the northernmost part of the ecoregion in the Madrean Sky Islands includes Chihuahua Pine (Pinus leiophylla), Mexican Pinyon (P. cembroides), Arizona Pine (P. arizonica), Silverleaf Oak (Quercus hypoleucoides), Arizona White Oak (Q. arizonica), Emory Oak (Q. emoryi), Netleaf Oak (Q. rugosa), Alligator Juniper (Juniperus deppeana), and Mexican Manzanita (Arctostaphylos pungens).
This ecoregion is an important area for bird richness and bird endemism. Likewise, virtually all of the ecoregion is included in the Sierra Madre Occidental and trans-mexican range Endemic Bird Area. Endemic bird species include the Thick-billed Parrot (Rhynchopsitta pachyrhyncha EN) which is in danger of extinction, with population estimates as low as 500 pairs; the Tufted Jay (Cyanocorax dickeyi NT), Eared Quetzal (Euptilptis neoxenus NT) and the Green-striped Brush Finch (Buarremon virenticeps). Temperate and tropical influences converge in this ecoregion, forming a unique and rich complex of flora and fauna. Many other birds are found in this ecoregion including the Green Parakeet (Aratinga holochlora), Eared Trogon (Euptilotis neoxenus NT), Coppery-tailed Trogon (Trogon elegans), Grey-breasted Jay (Aphelocoma ultramarina), Violet-crowned Hummingbird (Amazilia violiceps), Spotted Owl (Strix occidentalis NT), and Golden Eagle (Aguila chryaetos). Some species found only in higher montane areas are the Gould's Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo mexicana), Band-tailed Pigeon (Patagioenas fasciata), Mexican Chickadee (Poecile sclateri) and Hepatic Tanager (Piranga flava).
The Sierra Madre Mantled Ground Squirrel (Spermophilus madrensis NT) is an endemic to the Sierra Madre Occidental pine-oak forests, restricted to southwestern Chihuahua, Mexico. The Mexican Gray Wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) and Mexican Grizzly Bear (Ursus horribilis), although considered by most to be extinct from this ecoregion, once roamed these mountains. Mammals also present include White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus), American Black Bear (Ursus americanus), Buller's Chipmunk (Tamias bulleri), endemic Zacatecan Deer Mouse (Peromyscus difficilis), rock Squirrel (Spernophilis variegatus), Zacatecas Harvest Mouse (Reithrodontomys zacatecae) and Coati (Nasua nasua), to set forth a subset of mammals present.
Reptiles are also numerous in this ecoregion. Fox´s Mountain Meadow Snake (Adelophis foxi) is an endemic taxon to the ecoregion, only observed at the type locality at four kilometers east of Mil Diez, about 3.2 kilometers west of El Salto, in southwestern Durango, Mexico. There are at least six species of rattlesnakes including the Mexican Dusky Rattlesnake (Crotalis triseriatus), Mojave Rattlesnake (C. scutulatus), Rock Rattlesnake (C. lepidus), Western Diamondback Rattlesnake (C. atrox), Twin-spotted Rattlesnake (C. pricei), and Ridgenose Rattlesnakes (C. willardi). Clark's Spiny Lizard (Sceloporus clarkii) and Yarrow's Spiny Lizard (S. jarrovii), Bunchgrass Lizard (S. scalaris), and Striped Plateau Lizard (S. virgatus) are several of the lizards found in the Sierra Madre Occidental pine-oak forests.
Along springs and streams the Western Barking Frog (Craugastor augusti) and the Tarahumara Frog (Rana tamahumarae) are two anuran taxa occurring in the ecoregion. Other anuran taxa found here include: Bigfoot Leopard Frog (Lithobates megapoda), Northwest Mexico Leopard Frog (Lithobates magnaocularis) and the Blunt-toed Chirping Frog (Eleutherodactylus modestus VU). The Sacramento Mountains Salamander (Aneides hardii) is an endemic salamander found in the Sierra Madre Occidental pine-oak forests, restricted to the Sacramento Mountains, Capitan Mountains, and Sierra Blanca in Lincoln and Otero Counties within southern New Mexico, USA.
Sierra Madre Oriental Pine-oak Forests Habitat
This taxon is found in the Sierra Madre Oriental pine-oak forests, which exhibit a very diverse community of endemic and specialized species of plants, mammals, reptiles and amphibians. These high mountains run north to south, beginning in the USA and ending in Mexico. The Sierra Madre Oriental pine-oak forests are a highly disjunctive ecoregion, owing to the fact that they are present only at higher elevations, within a region with considerable expanses of lower elevation desert floor.
The climate is temperate humid on the northeastern slope, and temperate sub-humid on the western slope and highest portions of the mountain range. Pine-oak forest habitat covers most of the region, even though most of the primary forest has been destroyed or degraded. However, the wettest portions house a community of cloud forests that constitute the northernmost patches of this vegetation in Mexico. The forests grow on soils derived from volcanic rocks that have a high content of organic matter. The soils of lower elevations are derived from sedimentary rocks, and some of them are formed purely of limestone. In the northernmost portions of the ecoregion, the forests occur on irregular hummocks that constitute biological "islands" of temperate forest in the middle of the Chihuahuan Desert. To the south, from Nuevo León southward until Guanajuato and Queretaro, the ecoregion is more continuous along the mainstem of the Sierra Madre Oriental.
Dominant tree species include the pines: the endemic Nelson's Pine (Pinus nelsonii), Mexican Pinyon (P. cembroides), Smooth-bark Mexican Pine (P. pseudostrobus), and Arizona Pine (P. arizonica); and the oaks Quercus castanea and Q. affinis. In mesic environments, the most common species are P. cembroides, and Alligator Juniper (Juniperus deppeana), but in more xeric environments on the west slopes of the mountains, the endemic P. pinceana is more abundant. Gregg's Pine (P. greggii) and Jelecote Pine (P. patula) are endemic.
Many mammalian species wander these rugged hills. Mule Deer (Odocoileus hemionus), Puma (Puma concolor), Cliff Chipmunk (Tamias dorsalis), Collared Peccary (Tayassu tajacu), Coati (Nasua narica), Jaguar (Panthera onca) and Coyote (Canis latrans) are a few of the many diverse mammals that inhabit this ecoregion. Some threatened mammals found in the ecoregion are: Bolaños Woodrat (Neotoma palatina VU); Diminutive Woodrat (Nelsonia neotomodon NT), known chiefly from the western versant of the Sierra Madre; Chihuahuan Mouse (Peromyscus polius NT); and Mexican Long-nosed Bat (Leptonycteris nivalis EN).
A considerable number of reptilian taxa are found in the Sierra Madre Oriental pine-oak forests, including three endemic snakes: Ridgenose Rattlesnake (Crotalus willardi); Fox´s Mountain Meadow Snake (Adelophis foxi); and the Longtail Rattlesnake (Crotalus stejnegeri VU), restricted to the central Sierra Madre. An endemic skink occurring in the ecoregion is the Fair-headed Skink (Plestiodon callicephalus). The Striped Plateau Lizard (Sceloporus virgatus) is endemic to the ecoregion. The Sonoran Mud Turtle (Kinosternon sonoriense VU) is found in the ecoregion and ranges from southwestern New Mexico south to northwestern Chihuahua.
The following anuran taxa occur in the Sierra Madre Oriental pine-oak forests: Red-spotted Toad (Anaxyrus punctatus); Cane Toad (Rhinella marina); Elegant Narrow-mouthed Toad (Gastrophryne elegans); New Mexico Spadefoot Toad (Spea multiplicata); Sinaloa Toad (Incilius mazatlanensis); Pine Toad (Incilius occidentalis); Southwestern Toad (Anaxyrus microscaphus); Woodhouse's Toad (Anaxyrus woodhousii); Great Plains Narrowmouth Toad (Gastrophryne olivacea); Great Plains Toad (Anaxyrus cognatus); Plateau Toad (Anaxyrus compactilis); Texas Toad (Anaxyrus speciosus); Sonoran Desert Toad (Incilius alvarius), found only at lower ecoregion elevations here; Rana-ladrona Silbadora (Eleutherodactylus teretistes); Sabinal Frog (Leptodactylus melanonotus); Mexican Leaf Frog (Pachymedusa dacnicolor); Montezuma Leopard Frog (Lithobates montezumae); Yavapai Leopard Frog (Lithobates yavapaiensis); Northwest Mexico Leopard Frog (Lithobates magnaocularis); Bigfoot Leopard Frog (Lithobates megapoda), who generally breeds in permanent surface water bodies; Mexican Cascade Frog (Lithobates pustulosus); Tarahumara Frog (Lithobates tarahumarae VU); Western Barking Frog (Craugastor augusti); Lowland Burrowing Frog (Smilisca fodiens); Taylor's Barking Frog (Craugastor occidentalis); Blunt-toed Chirping Frog (Eleutherodactylus modestus VU), found only at the very lowest elevations of the ecoregion; Shiny Peeping Frog (Eleutherodactylus nitidus); California Chorus Frog (Pseudacris cadaverina); Rio Grande Frog (Lithobates berlandieri); Madrean Treefrog (Hyla eximia); Mexican Treefrog (Smilisca baudinii); Dwarf Mexican Treefrog (Tlalocohyla smithii); Canyon Treefrog (Hyla arenicolor); Northern Sheep Frog (Hypopachus variolosus); Chiricahua Leopard Frog (Lithobates chiricahuensis). There are three salamanders found in the ecoregion: the endemic Sacramento Mountains Salamander (Aneides hardii), found only in very high montane reaches above 2400 meters; Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum); and the Tarahumara Salamander (Ambystoma rosaceum).
Chihuahuan Desert Habitat
This taxon is found in the Chihuahuan Desert, which is one of the most biologically diverse arid regions on Earth. This ecoregion extends from within the United States south into Mexico. This desert is sheltered from the influence of other arid regions such as the Sonoran Desert by the large mountain ranges of the Sierra Madres. This isolation has allowed the evolution of many endemic species; most notable is the high number of endemic plants; in fact, there are a total of 653 vertebrate taxa recorded in the Chihuahuan Desert. Moreover, this ecoregion also sustains some of the last extant populations of Mexican Prairie Dog, wild American Bison and Pronghorn Antelope.
The dominant plant species throughout the Chihuahuan Desert is Creosote Bush (Larrea tridentata). Depending on diverse factors such as type of soil, altitude, and degree of slope, L. tridentata can occur in association with other species. More generally, an association between L. tridentata, American Tarbush (Flourensia cernua) and Viscid Acacia (Acacia neovernicosa) dominates the northernmost portion of the Chihuahuan Desert. The meridional portion is abundant in Yucca and Opuntia, and the southernmost portion is inhabited by Mexican Fire-barrel Cactus (Ferocactus pilosus) and Mojave Mound Cactus (Echinocereus polyacanthus). Herbaceous elements such as Gypsum Grama (Chondrosum ramosa), Blue Grama (Bouteloua gracilis) and Hairy Grama (Chondrosum hirsuta), among others, become dominant near the Sierra Madre Occidental. In western Coahuila State, Lecheguilla Agave (Agave lechuguilla), Honey Mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa), Purple Prickly-pear (Opuntia macrocentra) and Rainbow Cactus (Echinocereus pectinatus) are the dominant vascular plants.
Because of its recent origin, few warm-blooded vertebrates are restricted to the Chihuahuan Desert scrub. However, the Chihuahuan Desert supports a large number of wide-ranging mammals, such as the Pronghorn Antelope (Antilocapra americana), Robust Cottontail (Sylvilagus robustus EN); Mule Deer (Odocoileus hemionus), Grey Fox (Unocyon cineroargentinus), Jaguar (Panthera onca), Collared Peccary or Javelina (Pecari tajacu), Desert Cottontail (Sylvilagus auduboni), Black-tailed Jackrabbit (Lepus californicus), Kangaroo Rats (Dipodomys sp.), pocket mice (Perognathus spp.), Woodrats (Neotoma spp.) and Deer Mice (Peromyscus spp). With only 24 individuals recorded in the state of Chihuahua Antilocapra americana is one of the most highly endangered taxa that inhabits this desert. The ecoregion also contains a small wild population of the highly endangered American Bison (Bison bison) and scattered populations of the highly endangered Mexican Prairie Dog (Cynomys mexicanus), as well as the Black-tailed Prairie Dog (Cynomys ludovicianus).
The Chihuahuan Desert herpetofauna typifies this ecoregion.Several lizard species are centered in the Chihuahuan Desert, and include the Texas Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum); Texas Banded Gecko (Coleonyx brevis), often found under rocks in limestone foothills; Reticulate Gecko (C. reticulatus); Greater Earless Lizard (Cophosaurus texanus); several species of spiny lizards (Scelopoprus spp.); and the Western Marbled Whiptail (Cnemidophorus tigris marmoratus). Two other whiptails, the New Mexico Whiptail (C. neomexicanus) and the Common Checkered Whiptail (C. tesselatus) occur as all-female parthenogenic clone populations in select disturbed habitats.
Representative snakes include the Trans-Pecos Rat Snake (Bogertophis subocularis), Texas Blackhead Snake (Tantilla atriceps), and Sr (Masticophis taeniatus) and Neotropical Whipsnake (M. flagellum lineatus). Endemic turtles include the Bolsón Tortoise (Gopherus flavomarginatus), Coahuilan Box Turtle (Terrapene coahuila) and several species of softshell turtles. Some reptiles and amphibians restricted to the Madrean sky island habitats include the Ridgenose Rattlesnake (Crotalus willardi), Twin-spotted Rattlesnake (C. pricei), Northern Cat-eyed Snake (Leptodeira septentrionalis), Yarrow's Spiny Lizard (Sceloporus jarrovii), and Canyon Spotted Whiptail (Cnemidophorus burti).
There are thirty anuran species occurring in the Chihuahuan Desert: Chiricahua Leopard Frog (Rana chircahuaensis); Red Spotted Toad (Anaxyrus punctatus); American Bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus); Canyon Treefrog (Hyla arenicolor); Northern Cricket Frog (Acris crepitans); Rio Grande Chirping Frog (Eleutherodactylus cystignathoides); Cliff Chirping Frog (Eleutherodactylus marnockii); Spotted Chirping Frog (Eleutherodactylus guttilatus); Tarahumara Barking Frog (Craugastor tarahumaraensis); Mexican Treefrog (Smilisca baudinii); Madrean Treefrog (Hyla eximia); Montezuma Leopard Frog (Lithobates montezumae); Brown's Leopard Frog (Lithobates brownorum); Yavapai Leopard Frog (Lithobates yavapaiensis); Western Barking Frog (Craugastor augusti); Mexican Cascade Frog (Lithobates pustulosus); Lowland Burrowing Frog (Smilisca fodiens); New Mexico Spadefoot (Spea multiplicata); Plains Spadefoot (Spea bombifrons); Pine Toad (Incilius occidentalis); Woodhouse's Toad (Anaxyrus woodhousii); Couch's Spadefoot Toad (Scaphiopus couchii); Plateau Toad (Anaxyrus compactilis); Texas Toad (Anaxyrus speciosus); Dwarf Toad (Incilius canaliferus); Great Plains Narrowmouth Toad (Gastrophryne olivacea); Great Plains Toad (Anaxyrus cognatus); Eastern Green Toad (Anaxyrus debilis); Gulf Coast Toad (Incilius valliceps); and Longfoot Chirping Toad (Eleutherodactylus longipes VU). The sole salamander occurring in the Chihuahuan Desert is the Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum).
Common bird species include the Greater Roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus), Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia), Merlin (Falco columbarius), Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), and the rare Zone-tailed Hawk (Buteo albonotatus). Geococcyx californianus), Curve-billed Thrasher (Toxostoma curvirostra), Scaled Quail (Callipepla squamata), Scott's Oriole (Icterus parisorum), Black-throated Sparrow (Amphispiza bilineata), Phainopepla (Phainopepla nitens), Worthen's Sparrow (Spizella wortheni), and Cactus Wren (Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus). In addition, numerous raptors inhabit the Chihuahuan Desert and include the Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) and the Elf Owl (Micrathene whitneyi).
Habitat and Ecology
- Terrestrial
Comments: Habitat includes montane areas of pine-oak, oak scrub, oak-juniper, and pine-fir woodland, foothill canyons in pinyon-juniper woodland, and relatively humid canyon bottoms with canopies of sycamore, alder, box elder, and maple, often along stream courses, in areas with rock outcrops or talus, or among downed logs (Lowe et al. 1986, Ernst 1992, Degenhardt et al. 1996, Ernst and Ernst 2003, Stebbins 2003, Campbell and Lamar 2004). At the southern end of the range, habitats include pine-covered plateaus with scattered open meadows, hillsides with scattered pines, oaks, madrones, and rocks, and brushy hilltops (Armstrong and Murphy 1979). This snake is basically terrestrial buy may climb into low vegetation (Rossi and Feldner, 1993, Herpetol. Rev. 24:35). It seeks cover in crevices, among or under rocks, wood, or other debris, in old stumps, or in similar sites.
Non-Migrant: No. All populations of this species make significant seasonal migrations.
Locally Migrant: No. No populations of this species make local extended movements (generally less than 200 km) at particular times of the year (e.g., to breeding or wintering grounds, to hibernation sites).
Locally Migrant: No. No populations of this species make annual migrations of over 200 km.
Trophic Strategy
Comments: Preys on scorpions, centipedes, lizards, small mammals and birds.
Population Biology
Number of Occurrences
Note: For many non-migratory species, occurrences are roughly equivalent to populations.
Estimated Number of Occurrences: 21 - 300
Comments: This species is represented by a fairly large number of occurrences (subpopulations). On a range-wide scale, Campbell and Lamar (2004) mapped about 43 collection sites.
Global Abundance
10,000 - 100,000 individuals
Comments: Adult population size is unknown but likely exceeds 10,000. This snake appears not to be abundant in most areas in the United States(Lowe et al. 1986), but it is regarded as fairly common in Mexico.
General Ecology
Distance per move in New Mexico averaged less than 27 m, and daily activity areas averaged less than 225 sq m, but annual home range size was not reported (Smith et al. 2001).
Activity is based around seasonal summer rain when prey and mates are active, although basking is not unheard of during warm periods in winter.
Females birth in late summer to fall and remain with the litter until its first shed of skin. According to a long-term observer of the species in the Huachuca mountains, there is an apparent order to which the young emerge to and from basking.
Despite the occurrence of bright tail coloration in the young of C. willardi, there are no records of them using their tails to mimic the prey (caterpilars/grubs) of their prey (lizards and arthropods such as centipedes) when young.
As the young mature, there is an ontogenic shift in diet from arthropods and young lizards to adult lizards, birds and small mammals.
The species faces a multitude of threats; however mainly habitat destruction via grazing and un-natural and human-altered fire regimes. Specifically the obscurus subspecies is federally protected in the US due to it's limited range in a fire and grazing -threatened and -altered habitat.
Life History and Behavior
Comments: Inactive in cold temperatures and extreme heat. Mainly diurnal but probably at least partially nocturnal during hot summer weather; in summer, most active on warm humid mornings; rains may stimulate late afternoon activity; in fall, active mainly in afternoon (Ernst 1992). Most active before or after showers when air temperatures are 24-29 C (Armstrong and Murphy 1979). In Arizona, active from April or early May through mid-November (Lowe et al. 1986, Ernst 1992). In New Mexico, most active during daylight hours from July through September.
Life Expectancy
Lifespan, longevity, and ageing
Northern part of range: copulates in midsummer to early fall; ovulation and fertilization occur probably in early spring; bears 2-9 young, late July through August; adult females typically produce young at intervals of two years or more (Holycross and Goldberg 2001).

Population Trend
Global Short Term Trend: Relatively stable (=10% change)
Comments: Currently, extent of occurrence, area of occupancy, number of subpopulations, and population size probably are relatively stable or declining at a rate of less than 10 percent over 10 years or three generations.
Global Long Term Trend: Increase of 10-25% to decline of 30%
Comments: In New Mexico, a population that appeared to be declining in the 1970s was well-protected and stable in the 1990s (Degenhardt et al. 1996).
Degree of Threat: Medium
Comments: On a range-wide basis, no major threats are known. As of the early 1980s, populations in Arizona were not threatened (Johnson, cited by Ernst 1992). Threats in Arizona include illegal collecting, mining, recreational development, and wood cutting (Lowe et al. 1986).
Conservation Actions
Management Requirements: Reintroduction of fire may be important in maintaining habitat, but reduction of artificially high fuel loads may be needed to prevent habitat damage and mortality from fire (Smith et al. 2001).
Relevance to Humans and Ecosystems
Economic Uses
Comments: Venomous; mild mannered but will turn and bite if grasped; venom is of relatively low toxicity and snake can inject only a relatively small volume, so not especially dangerous to humans (Ernst 1992).
Crotalus willardi
- Common names: ridge-nosed rattlesnake, Willard's rattlesnake, Willard's rattler[2]
Crotalus willardi is a venomous pit viper species found in the southwestern United States and Mexico. It is the most recent rattlesnake species to be discovered in the United States. Its specific name is in honor of its discoverer, Professor Frank C. Willard.[3] Five subspecies are currently recognized, including the nominate subspecies described here.[4] The Arizona ridge-nosed rattlesnake is the state reptile of Arizona.
C. willardi is a rather small rattlesnake with all subspecies measuring one to two feet (30-60 cm) in length. Color patterns are generally a dark brown base with pale or white horizontal striping, but vary slightly between subspecies. The distinctive ridges along each side of its nose, which are a series of upturned scales, are unique to its species and are the origin of its name.
C. willardi is rarely found outside habitats at high elevation. Wooded mountain ranges, primarily in the southwest, are where this reclusive species is found. Each subspecies' range is limited to select mountain ranges, making human encounters rare events.
Conservation status[edit]
This species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (v3.1, 2001).[5] Species are listed as such due to their wide distribution, presumed large population, or because they are unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category. The population trend was stable when assessed in 2007.[6]
Although four of the five subspecies are secure, the New Mexico ridge-nosed rattlesnake (C. w. obscurus) is an endangered species and listed as threatened by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Remaining populations are scattered throughout New Mexico, Arizona and the northern part of Mexico. Habitat destruction is the cause of declining numbers, but critical habitat designations (recovery measures) have been proposed.
Rattlesnakes are primarily ambush hunters; they coil and lie waiting for prey to approach within striking distance. The diet of C. willardi includes small mammals, lizards, birds, and large centipedes. The young feed primarily on large centipedes (Scolopendra spp.) and lizards, whereas adults feed primarily on mammals and birds. [7]
Like other rattlesnakes, C. willardi is ovoviviparous, meaning it gives birth and does not lay eggs. Contrasting with viviparous animals, the young still develop within an egg inside the female snake until their time of birth. Copulation occurs from late summer to early fall, and gestation lasts about four to five months. Females give birth to two to 9 (average five) young in late July or August. Both sexes appear to reach reproductive maturity around 400 mm (16 in) in body (snout to vent) length. Although captive snakes have reproduced annually, wild females probably reproduce every second or third year.[8]
Due to the generally small size of the snake, venom discharge yields are low; thus, the largely hemotoxic venom is not as life-threatening as that of other rattlesnakes. No documented deaths have been caused by ridge-nosed rattlesnakes, but pain and discomfort can still result from a rare bite.

Weber wOil Water Mixable Artist Oil Colors have a very smooth, buttery consistency with a medium-body to heavy-body viscosity that can be used directly from the tube, thinned with water, or blended with traditional oil colors, mediums, and acrylic-based colors.
Considered "permanent" for artists' use, all wOil colors have a lightfastness rating of I or II. When wOil colors are thinned with water, the water evaporates from the paint film fairly rapidly, leaving behind a traditional film of oil that dries by oxidation. The reflective quality of the wOil film and drying times vary from color to color.
Weber wOil colors generally dry within three to five days, which is slightly faster than traditional oil colors.
Weber wOil Artist Oil Colors are ideal for studio or classroom use.
Reflective of the breakthrough "green" chemistry employed in the development of wOil Artist Oil Colors, all colors are AP non-toxic.

Not the Best When it Comes to Water Mixable Oils
By guyjack
from Houston
Comments about Weber wOil Water Mixable Artist Oil Colors:
Although Weber is very reasonably priced and has a good color range, they just aren't even close to being one of the best Water Mixable paints out there. They are just too "gummy" when trying to add water to thin. Cobra is by far the best. They handle almost identically to traditional oils and solvents when thinning with water, they are perfectly soft in viscosity, and dry to a luscious sheen. Second best is the Holbein Aqua Duo, but Cobra is better and less expensive.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Very Happy
By painter
from Midland MI
I had been using one companies water soluble oil paint for a number of years and when I found that this product was available at a lower price I thought I'd give it a try. I'm very pleased with the texture and color. It's every but as good as the high priced paint.

Definitely not "artist" quality
By John
from Dallas TX
I've been using Grumbacher Water Mixable Oils for a long time, and decided to try these, since they were labeled "artist". Colors are washed out, bland and my painting looked like I used some two dollar student paints.I realize there ARE good deals for oil paints (such as Utrecht), but these wOils are so bland and colorless I'd recommend any other brand over them.
Merchant response: Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry to hear that that Weber wOils are not as you were expecting. Someone from our Customer Care Center will be reaching out to further assist you. If you ever have questions on a product (on the pigment load of a particular paint, for example), please feel welcome to touch base with one of our product specialists. They're available from 8am to 5:30pm CST M-F at 1-800-933-2542, or you can email firstname.lastname@example.com. They'll be happy to work with you!

I thought I loved Weber oils before!
By Glorianna
from Dryden, Mi
The water mixable oils are used just like the regular oils but you don't have to worry about the toxic add ons or clean up! That is wonderful!
Different material used
By Skipper
from Forest Grove, Oregon
I use this product for painting landscapes. Best thing about it is clean up, esp. if mistakenly dripped onto carpet, etc. Easy water clean up, no mistaken staining.The one thing I think not so great about it, for me, is that it is thinner, looser, than oil paint, so I can't pile up areas.But its other good qualities make up for that.

This company makes very nice Wm oil paints. The texture and pigment concentration is very nice. Pleasantly surprised about this. I had one tube that was a bit thick and sticky but the other ones were fine. They don't clean up with soap and warm water. I also bought the quick dry medium and the gel medium. Both are fantastic and water mixable too! Not all of their paints are perfect but for the price you must give these a try.

City B & O Espresso Isn't Going Anywhere
posted by April 2 at 16:22 PMon
Belmont & Olive
No need to panic. B&O Espresso won't be going anywhere any time soon. Our sucky economy has stepped in to save another beloved Seattle business.
"We havent moved forward with any permanent plans because of the real estate climate," says John Stoner, who owns the B&O property. "Were in no hurry [to redevelop] unless the climates perfect."
Of course, the B&O was never really going away. Stoner had been working with B&O's owners to keep the coffee shop on the bottom floor of the 72 unit building which would have been built on the site.
For now, Stoner is focusing on developing other properties, and he doesn't know when he'll restart the B&O but, he says, "If we thought the [economy] was perfect today, it would [still] be two years until the store was demolished."

Stayed here for the first part of our honeymoon, having visited Amsterdam many times we wanted to stay in a nicer hotel and we found the doubletree on trip advisor.
The hotel is very close to the station, and has some great facilities within the hotel, including a starbucks and sky lounge. The room was compact but clean, we had a balcony room overlooking the city, noise was minimal.
Service was very good, room service was prompt, staff were helpful and every staff member would great you and say hello.
We had a small problem with the table in our room which was rectified before we had even got back to the room!
The food in the restaurant was very nice, price wise it was a little on the dearer side as you would expect but not ridiculous. the service in the restaurant was very good apart from one evening where it slipped a little (slow to clear the table and take our desert order, and took a long time for the bill) but to be honest i think that this was only highlighted as the service had been so amazing the previous nights.
Breakfast was brilliant, i cant think of anything else that someone would want for breakfast that was not available, they even had a nice local selection such as pancakes and chicken soup!
There were a number of functions on while we were there, none of which seemed to impact our stay too much at all.
Overall we had a great stay and would definitely stay again (budget permitting!) i would say that a room overlooking the city is a good idea due to the location next to the railway, and expect to pay a little more for some things, but we felt we had good value with the added extras such as posh shampoos, and complimentary minibar.
The only disappointment we had was that i wanted to buy my wife some cookies to take home with us, and they didn't have any ready as it was only 9.00 in the morning, still you cant have everything!

The Importance of Making a Will
In legal terms, a will is a written instrument by which a person, the testator, names one or more persons to manage his or her estate and provides for the distribution of his property at death. For the devolution of property not disposed of by will, see inheritance and intestacy. The requirements for making a will shall depend on the state where the testator is residing and to where the real property is situated.
If a married person dies without a will, the inheritance shall be divided with the deceased person's spouse and children. However, if a single person dies, his or her assets shall be inherited by the surviving parents (if still alive) or collateral relative like brother or sister. Hence, every intestate succession shall comply with the laws of the specific state where the deceased reside and where the property is situated.
It is important for a person to make a will. It is a way making an assurance for the bright future of your children. It is also a way of appointing an executor to handle your affairs when you are gone. You can also dictate who shall receive or not receive anything from your estate. By writing a will, you also avoid leaving your loved ones with costly issues and complications at a time when they will already be experiencing difficulty and distress. The will shall also gives you the assurance on how your appointed administrator shall handle your affairs in accordance to your given instructions indicated in the will itself.
Any person can make a will. Provided that they are 18 years of age and have legal capacity, you can make a Will. You can also make a Will if you are under 18 years of age and are married, or with consent from the court. To have legal capacity to make a Will you need to understand what a Will is and what it does, what property you own, who is important to you, be able to consider any claims that may be made against the estate, and be of sound mind.
It will always be best to consult a legal advice of an attorney because Estate law is complicated. The modern family and the relationships between its members are also complex. The best way to ensure your wishes are carried out in the way you intend them is to have a legally sound Will. Legal professionals who specialize in estate law can help you write a clear Will that is up-to-date with current legal and case law.
Non-contested Divorce
A non-contested divorce is a marital breakup that is resolved or proceeding by default, which happens when the defendant fails to respond to the issues alleged in the complaint. This divorce is said to be the easiest way to end a marriage. It Is not as stressful or costly as a contested divorce and can be completed in only two weeks or so, in some states. To make this happen you and your spouse must negotiate a resolution of all your issues on your own without any involvement of the court.
Know the basic steps for a non-contested divorce in order to avoid court hassle, the steps are as follows:
1. Complete a petition for divorce-a petition for divorce form is the submission of both parties to the jurisdiction of the court.
2. Establish your assets- you need to make a list that enumerates all your assets and liabilities which may includes your plan of dividing them. This is where you should also outline any child support or alimony. Both parties must negotiate with regards to the asset in order to reach a satisfying agreement for both sides.
3. Know the residency requirements-each states have different divorce laws, it is best that you know the residency requirements in filing a divorce paper. You must be able to prove that you have resided in the state for the minimum length of time to obtain your Certificate of Corroborating Witness in order to assert your length of residency.
4. File the petition- file the petition for divorce together with the financial records to the local court. After filing, you will be given a Notice of Hearing form that formally requests a judge to hear your divorce case. If one party cannot attend the hearing, you may ask the clerk of court if it is possible to use an Answer and Affidavit form instead. This shall be given to the other spouse to fill out and return before the date of the hearing.
5. Complete a settlement agreement form- this is said to be the heart of divorce. It is a form where every details of divorce is indicated which include the distribution of assets, custody of the children and settlement of other post-marital issues. Hence, this form is returned to the court to proceed with the divorce process.
6. Wait for a divorce decree- it is a signed document from the judge that finalizes your divorce. It is important for you to have copies of the decree from the court for future references.
Understanding the Probate Process
Probate process is a legal process where the property of the deceased person is distributed in accordance to his last will and testament. The probate process is applicable even if the will is invalid. The only difference is that, without a valid will the laws of the state where you live specify who gets what parts of your estate.
The probate process shall start by the determining the assets and liabilities of the testator. Once it is determined, the debts incurred by the deceased including unpaid taxes shall be deducted to the portion of the inheritance. Next, the assets of the testator shall be divided to his or her beneficiaries.
There are several things that are involved in a probate proceeding, this includes the following:
- Proving that the will is valid;
- Appointing a legal representative;
- Taking inventory and appraising the decedent's property;
- Paying Debts and taxes; and
- Distributing the property in accordance to the terms of the will.
The cost of the probate proceeding is different from state to state and province to province. Usually the average is ranging between 0.5% and 2% of your estate. But that is not all, there are more costs associated with distributing your assets, some other costs are executor and attorney fees, executor fees can range up to 4%. Then there are always taxes your estate will have to pay before transferring assets.
The length of the probate proceedings depends on the complexity, clarity and sense of the will. More so, the size of the estates is also a factor for the length of time of the probate proceedings. The larger and complicated the estate the longer it will take to settle. Often times, it takes 1-2 years to be fully settled without any complications. If you want a speed up process it is recommended that your will must be valid and updated.

Construction of the 73km Clutha Gold Cycle Trail from the
Roxburgh Dam to Lawrence, on the opposite side of the river
to the Roxburgh Gorge trail, began at the start of last year.
Trail trust chairman Rod Peirce said the group was happy the
section's opening coincided with the cavalcade.
The 5km section stretches from Lawrence to Cockleshell Rd at
Evans Flat.
About 50 people are taking part in the cavalcade's ''Whisky
Galore'' walking trail, which began in Lawrence yesterday,
winding up to Beaumont, through Black Gully, to arrive in
Tapanui on Saturday in time for the cavalcade's grand parade.
Clutha Mayor Bryan Cadogan said the number of walkers opening
the trail was ''magnificent''.
The Clutha Gold Trail has a $5.5 million budget, including
$3.8 million from the Government.
The Lawrence to Evans Flat leg of the trail is all on private
land. Mr Peirce said farmers gave the trust easements for the
The 13km section from the dam to Pinders Pond was complete
except for a bridge over the Teviot River, which is expected
to be put in place next week. The trust planned to open the
trail in sections to allow public use before an official
opening of the entire trail by spring.

Patricia Borsuk from Linthicum Heights, Md., was looking for a recipe she once had from the newspaper for an Overnight Coffee Cake. The cake was assembled the night before and refrigerated, then baked the next morning.
Barbara Malina from Eldersburg, Md., sent in a recipe for such a cake that she clipped from the Baltimore Sun years ago.
This is a wonderful do-ahead recipe -- perfect if you have houseguests or are planning on entertaining in the morning. I tested it on a weekend when I had out-of-town guests. It took me no more than 20 minutes to prepare the night before; my guests awakened to the smell of brown sugar and cinnamon baking and the treat of this moist, delicious cake served warm out of the oven to go with their morning coffee.
Overnight Coffee Cake
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 cup buttermilk
2/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 large eggs
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon cinnamon
In a large mixing bowl, mix the first seven ingredients. Add buttermilk, butter and eggs. With an electric mixer, beat at low speed until moistened and then at medium speed for 3 minutes. Spoon batter into a greased and floured 13-inch-by-9-inch-by-2-inch pan. Combine ingredients for topping and sprinkle evenly over batter. Cover and refrigerate 8 to 12 hours, or overnight.
When ready to bake: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Remove cake from refrigerator, uncover and bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Best served warm.
Per serving: 354 calories, 4 grams protein, 15 grams fat, 7 grams saturated fat, 53 grams carbohydrate, 1 gram fiber, 63 milligrams cholesterol, 344 milligrams sodium
Serves 12.
The nutrition analysis was calculated by registered dietitian Jodie Shield.
Recipe Requests:
Donna Rausch of Ellicott City, Md., is looking for a recipe for an onion loaf, a concoction of sliced onions in some sort of sauce that made it stick together. It was baked in a small loaf pan.
Leslie Jarzombek of Santa Rosa, Calif., has been looking for a recipe for a Sour Cream Raisin Pie. The sour cream part was rich and creamy, like a cheesecake, but not as dense, and the raisins were present throughout the sour cream part. She thinks it was not baked.
Send requests or answers to requests to Julie Rothman,
Recipe Finder, The Baltimore Sun, 501 N. Calvert St., Baltimore, Md. 21278. If you send more than one recipe, put each on a separate piece of paper with your name, address and daytime phone number.
Please list the ingredients in order of use, and note the number of servings each recipe makes.

U.S. Urges Stem-Cell Funding Stay by Appeals Court
The U.S. Justice Department urged a federal appeals court to maintain its stay on a lower-court order cutting off funds for embryonic stem cell research while it seeks to overturn the trial judge's ruling.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, after an hour-long hearing, didn't say when it would decide whether to make the emergency hold extend through the appeal. The Obama administration attorneys argued that even a temporary cutoff would cause irreparable harm to researchers, taxpayers and scientific progress.
The appeals court ruled on Sept. 9 that the government can keep funds flowing for the research at least during the initial stages of the administration's challenge to the order banning taxpayer support for any activity using cells taken from human embryos.
U.S. Judge Royce Lamberth last month cited the still-in- force 1996 Dickey-Wicker Amendment in his ruling, saying Congress prohibited funding any research in which a human embryo was destroyed.
The decision will be made by Judith Rogers, appointed by former President Bill Clinton, and Thomas Griffith and Brett Kavanaugh, both appointed by former President George W. Bush.
Beth Brinkmann, an attorney for the Justice Department, told the panel that cutting off funding would waste millions of dollars in already earmarked grants and force scientists to start research over should Lamberth's ruling ultimately be overturned,.
"We're not here to" decide "upon the wisdom of the government policy," said Griffith. Rather, the court is deciding whether the funding violates the statute.
Thomas Hungar, an attorney for stem-cell research opponents, said government attorneys are only speculating on the potential harm, and no injury is imminent or irreversible.
The case is Sherley v. Sebelius, 10-5287, U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (Washington).

In what can be a big lesson for the reckless people who visit forums and blog sites to post insensitive or incendiary statements, a British court has jailed two youngsters for inciting disorder via Facebook.
Taking a stern stand following riot incitements on social networks that blighted London, members of the police control room in Essex arrested a 20-year-old youth for allegedly using his cellphone to organize a large water fight.
In the orgy of looting during London's recent rampage, the rioters who stripped stores of food, clothes, alcohol, cigarettes amongst other things may have gotten away with their criminality, but those who targeted mobile shops may have to pay a heavy price.

Local residents gathered in downtown Dothan Monday morning to pay tribute to those who lost their lives fighting for our freedom.
Current and former members of the military along with local leaders gathered at Veteran's Memorial Park on East Main Street at 10 a.m.
The ceremony commemorated the service and sacrifice of millions of soldiers who have served in the armed forces since the Revolutionary War.
Organizers say it's important for us to remember it's not just a day "off from work".
"It's always great to see the people remembering the veterans, especially on Memorial and also on Veteran's Day. We owe a lot to the veterans be it to the fact that we are still a free country, even though we have problems, we're still are a free country, and remember always, freedom isn't free," said Ed Pritchard, the Wiregrass Veterans Alliance Coordinator
Monday morning's ceremony was sponsored by the Wiregrass Veterans Alliance.
