Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/11/2012 (1753 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The tropical wave started off Africa's west coast in early October. It took its time, perhaps two weeks, to make the 7,200-kilometre trek to the warm waters of the Caribbean. The turbulence it stirred didn't catch the attention of weather-watchers such as Jeff Masters until Oct. 15.
The National Hurricane Center in the U.S. soon designated it an Invest, a low-pressure system innocuous yet worthy of investigation. Even after meteorologists elevated it to TD 18, shorthand for a tropical depression, they assumed it would fizzle.
"We expected it to lose strength after Jamaica, and it didn't," said Masters, founder of Ann Arbor, Mich.-based Weather Underground, a commercial weather service. "We expected Cuba to tear it apart, and it didn't. As it headed north we expected it to decay some, as most storms do, but it didn't."
On Oct. 22, Sandy was officially born, troublesome beyond belief -- "a freak storm, unprecedented in so many respects," Masters said. The destroyer that came out of nowhere produced strong winds reaching farther than any known Atlantic hurricane. It took dozens of lives, cost billions of dollars, plunged millions into darkness and created nightmare scenarios that not even the disaster planners anticipated.
Whatever the final cost, it already has renewed debate over both the possible influence of climate change on the storm's movement and the preparedness of states and cities to handle increasingly violent weather events.
"We see 10 to 12 named tropical storms per season on average," said Annes Haseemkunju, an atmospheric scientist at Eqecat, a risk-management company in Oakland, Calif. "This season we already have 19 named storms, and there's one more month to go."
Greater frequency will force authorities to bolster the defences of their communities, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a news conference Tuesday in Manhattan, where the city's subway system is flooded and may take weeks to recover.
"We have a new reality when it comes to these weather patterns and we have an old infrastructure, and that is not a good combination," Cuomo said. "We have 100-year floods every two years now."
U.S. President Barack Obama noted the increasing frequency of such events in his remarks Tuesday at Red Cross headquarters in Washington.
"Sadly, we are getting more experience with these kinds of big-impact storms along the East Coast, and the preparation shows," Obama said. "Were it not for the outstanding work that they and their teams have already done and will continue to do in the affected regions, we could have seen more deaths and more property damage."
A 2008 study concluded Manhattan was vulnerable to storm-surge flooding from even a moderate nor'easter and recommended local authorities build protections such as Rhode Island's Fox Point Hurricane Barrier, which spans the Providence River.
"Both state and city authorities in NYC and coastal northern New Jersey should begin exploring the feasibility of constructing European-style storm-surge barriers across major connections of New York Harbor to the ocean as protection against serious storm surge flooding," according to a study in the June 2008 issue of the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society.
Sandy's path, aided by the warm water and low air pressure, defied expectations. In doing so, it prompted public discussion about the potential causes, including climate change.
The percentage of Americans saying there is "solid evidence" of global warming has increased in the past six years, according to an Oct. 15 poll from the Pew Research Center for The People & The Press. Two-thirds agreed the earth's average temperature has been rising during the past few decades, up four percentage points since last year and 10 points since 2009.
Linking a single storm to climate is very difficult, though climate change itself is well understood on a global level. Earth's average temperature has warmed about 0.7 degrees Celsius since 1900, most of which is very likely due to human greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 2007 report.
Identifying causes of a storm as complex as Sandy, and determining whether climate change was among them, is challenging, said Randall Dole, deputy director for research at a division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Scientists hunt for a climate-change fingerprint by experimenting with computerized models.
"You have to reconstruct a world that might have been," Dole said. "And to do that you need to estimate the human influence on sea-surface temperatures" and any other trends showing human influence.
"Where you might make a case is what the trend in the sea level rise has been," he said. "There's a pretty strong attribution that can be made, but the weather itself -- it's almost certainly natural."
The confluence of unusual events -- a string of violent storms in the past two years and the worst drought since 1956 -- convinced Masters the forces governing storms have been altered.
"Freak weather events happen, right, but in the last two years?" Masters said. "I think something's up. I think we've crossed over to a new climate state where the new normal is we're going to be getting these intense weather events that are very destructive to our economy and kill lots of people."
Others aren't prepared to draw that conclusion.
Kerry Emanuel, a professor of atmospheric science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass., said Sandy was an unusual storm that will have to be studied thoroughly before a link can be established.
Until then, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said, the emphasis should be on improving preparedness.
"Is a storm like this that's so strong and unusual a global warming incident? What is clear is the climate is changing," he said in a news conference Tuesday. "I think each of these storms, we've got to learn to see if we can do some things better the next time."

I've got military issue cotton and polypropylene so far.
I'm looking for something light-weight to replace the cotton for wear on a daily basis in the mountains that won't lose it's insulation properties if it gets wet.
I started out last week with just pants and layering on top (t-shirt, polypro shirt and flannel shirt or insulated jacket), that normally works just fine for me at lower elevations until it gets into the 30s.
I was up at 8600' - 9500', it was in the 50s-60s during the day, but I started realizing that it was a bit damp, the kind of stuff where hypothermia creeps up on you.
Next year, I'm going to need to wear underwear from day 1.
Any preferences/suggestions?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/2/2013 (1652 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A storm forecasters warned could be a blizzard for the history books began clobbering the New York-to-Boston corridor on Friday, grounding flights, closing workplaces and sending people rushing to get home ahead of a possible 30 to 90 centimetres of snow.
From New Jersey to Maine, shoppers crowded into supermarkets and hardware stores to buy food, snow shovels, flashlights and generators, things that became precious commodities after superstorm Sandy in October. Others gassed up their cars, another lesson learned after Sandy. Across much of New England, schools closed ahead of the snow.
"This is a storm of major proportions," Boston Mayor Thomas Menino said. "Stay off the roads. Stay home."
By Friday evening, Boston had just six cm of snow and New York City had five, but parts of southeastern Massachusetts had more than 15 cm and central Rhode Island had more than 20 cm. The National Weather Service warned the worst was still to come.
The wind-whipped snowstorm mercifully arrived at the start of a weekend, which meant fewer cars on the road and extra time for sanitation crews to clear the mess before commuters in the New York-to-Boston region of roughly 25 million people have to go back to work. But it could also mean a weekend cooped up indoors.
Rainy Neves, a mother of two in Cambridge, just west of Boston, did some last-minute shopping at a grocery store, filling her cart to the brim.
"Honestly, a lot of junk -- a lot of quick things you can make just in case lights go out, a lot of snacks to keep the kids busy while they'd be inside during the storm, things to sip with my friends, things for movies," she said. "Just a whole bunch of things to keep us entertained."
In heavily Catholic Boston, the archdiocese urged parishioners to be prudent about attending Sunday mass and reminded them that, under church law, the obligation "does not apply when there is grave difficulty in fulfilling this obligation."
Halfway through what had been a mild winter across the Northeast, blizzard warnings were posted from parts of New Jersey to Maine. The National Weather Service said Boston could get close to 90 cm of snow by tonight.
By Friday evening, the New York-to-Boston corridor was experiencing blizzard-like conditions, with blowing, swirling snow and freezing rain. Early snowfall was blamed for a 19-car pileup in Cumberland, Maine, that caused minor injuries. In Rhode Island, 34,000 homes and businesses lost power.
Forecasters said wind gusts up to 120 km/h could cause more widespread power outages and whip the snow into fearsome drifts. Flooding was expected along coastal areas still recovering from superstorm Sandy, which hit New York and New Jersey the hardest and is considered Jersey's worst natural disaster.
Meteorologist Jeff Masters, of Weather Underground, said the winter storm was a collision of two storms and may end up among the Boston area's Top 5 most intense.
"When you add two respectable storms together, you're going to get a knockout punch with this one," he said.
It could break Boston's all-time snowstorm record of 70 cm, set in 2003.
Masters said the region could get a break from warmer air trailing behind that is expected to push temperatures up to 5 C by Monday.
"It's going to be not that difficult to dig out, compared to maybe some other nor'easters in the past."

Centek Spill Kit
By Capt. Patrick Sciacca — December 2002
A small fuel or oil spill can cost big in both its potential effect on the environment and the cost for cleanup and fines. By keeping the proper containment gear onboard, it's possible to lessen the impact of fuel/oil spills and leaks.
Centek Industries offers a cleaning system aptly called the Boater Emergency Spill Kit for about $57. It includes 20 oil-absorbent pads, a bag of treated wood chips (called viscochips), gloves, and a bag for disposal when the cleanup is complete.
Each pad in the kit can hold up to two pounds of oil and reportedly still stay buoyant, so keeping a small spill contained shouldn't be a problem. The wood chips are treated with Mycelx, which causes cohesion between the oil and/or fuel and the chips. This helps keep the containment area small, allowing for neat cleanup.
The Boater Emergency Spill Kit is available through Centek distributors nationwide.

I have been using the pyDev plugin for Eclipse seamlessly for over a year... until today. I am developing a GUI using wxPython 2.6 with python 2.6 set-up as my interpreter in Eclipse. For a small portion of my code I am interfacing with an application that has a dependency of only interacting with python 2.5. I decided to start a new thread and use the subprocess.popen() method to solve this problem. Example:
- Code: Select all
command = 'C:\Python25\python.exe C:/TEMP/runme.py'
p = subprocess.Popen(command)
When python 2.5 starts to execute the runme.py it tries to import the python 2.6 os module. See traceback from Eclipse:
- Code: Select all
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/TEMP/psse.py", line 12, in <module>
import os
File "C:\Python26\lib\os.py", line 757
bs = b""
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
FYI, I do not have this trouble using WingIDE or IDLE. I suspect I need to change some configuration in Eclipse, but have not been able to find any guidance searching the web.
Thanks in advance,

CLERMONT, Fla. - Prosecutors have filed a motion requesting clarification on a Lake County circuit court judge's order to give a sex offender permission to live with his parents in a Clermont neighborhood.
The decision was made despite a state law and local ordinance prohibiting certain sex offenders from living near schools, parks and playgrounds. A separate proceeding in which Semento will clarify his sentencing order is set for April 16.
In October, Shannon Baruch, 25, pleaded no contest to inappropriately touching a girl younger than 16-years-old. Judge Lawrence Semento sentenced Baruch to five years of probation and ordered him to register as a sex offender.
Under Florida law, certain sex offenders "may not reside within 1,000 feet of any school, child care facility, park, or playground". A city of Clermont ordinance sets even stricter boundaries, requiring those sex offenders to live more than 2,500 feet from such places where children congregate.
Baruch's home sits 821 feet from a daycare and 698 feet from a community park and swimming pool, according to Clermont police.
When officers learned in December where Baruch was living, they notified him of the rules.
"This individual basically told us the judge said he could live there and refused to leave," said Sgt. Brent Joyner.
In Baruch's sentencing order, Semento wrote that "the defendant's residence will not be a violation of municipal ordinance condition or (probation)."
Despite the court order giving Baruch permission to remain in his family's home, in February prosecutors decided to charge Baruch with violating the state law governing where sex offenders can live, a misdemeanor punishable by up a year in jail. Prosecutors have also charged Baruch with violating his probation.
In an email response to Local 6, Semento wrote, "Since there are pending matters in this case, I am not permitted to discuss it."
On Monday, Baruch's attorney, Wayne Golding, said he was unable to comment.
A Tuesday morning hearing related to Baruch's arrest was delayed until April 23 because his attorney was sick.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Hundreds attended Saturday's One to Grow On ultra marathon, an annual 55-mile run that helps raise money to help sick and injured children in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia at Wolfson Children's Hospital, and honor its inception in 1955.
Paul Wilson, whose newborn son, Luke, faced difficult surgery withing hours of birth, created the event, said he hoped to raise $5,000 by running 55 miles -- the age of the hospital during his son's stay. Over the past three years, the event has raised over $1.5 million.
"My passion is running and I thought to myself, 'How can I help my son and the community at the same time?' It was really about bringing awareness to the needs of so many children," said Wilson.
All proceeds raised support the purchase of a 3 Tesla MRI, which is now available in Baptist Health's new patient tower. It provides clearer, more accurate images, leading to earlier diagnoses and the elimination of certain surgeries and catheter studies.
Channel 4's Richard Nunn ran the entire 55 miles, while others opted to log them with help from a relay team.
"This is a really long run, but in the end, it's all about the kids this event helps every single year. To see the smile on kids faces is a wonderful feeling" said Nunn.
Wolfson Chidren's Hospital cares for 10,997 children a year. Every day 135 children are hospitalized and doctors perform more than 11,000 surgeries a year.
This symbolic events features 55 children who share their inspiring stories and celebrate with a birthday party.
For those who can't finish the 55 miles, there is a one mile relay option. There is also a 5-mile run from the Jacksonville Landing on Saturday, as well as a birthday party for the community that includes face painting, crafts and other family activities.
"As soon as I saw that Channel 4 was a proud partner of the 55-year celebration, I knew I wanted to do more," Nunn said. "I enjoy pushing my limits. The ultra marathon will allow me to test my endurance threshold and shed light on the amazing things being done at Wolfson Children's Hospital."
A number of families explained why it was so important to lace up for the marathon.
"Wolfson's takes care of the patients by making each one of them feel like they're the only one," said runner Lorraine Sitton.
That one turned into hundreds as runner after runner laced up to sweat it out and raise money for Wolfson Children's Hospital.
"The runners are absolutely amazing," said Chad Perce, Ultra Marathon chairman. "Of course, we have the ultra marathoners who are doing 55 miles as individuals. We have relay teams, approximately 40 plus doing individual 5-mile loops."
Motivated by the idea that every child deserves another birthday, the One to Grow On ultra marathon is a celebration of their lives.
"This race is huge," said Frank Forte, whose daughter is battling leukemia. "Wolfson is a non-profit. Everything they raise goes towards equipment and technology to better care for our kids."
The hospital is a place of hope, second chances and medical wonders for local families.
For Carmen Chappell, whose daughter has leukemia, the race is a chance to show her little girl how much she has inspired her.
"This is my first race ever," said Chappell. "For me to finish five miles, I've only been training for four weeks. I did it for my daughter. It's been wonderful."
As runners reached the finish line, they did so with renewed hope for the little ones in their lives, and are committed to taking the facility to the next level of care.
"It's an amazing place. All the people are so amazing," said Chappell. "They give their heart and soul to every minute in that hospital, and make my daughter feel so much better with the time that she's here, and it's just a great place to be."

Iowa View: Meditation is more than you think
Dr. David Drake: DesMoines Register: Anthropologists and sociologists must have been busy in these past 25 years, seeing how human culture and our society have changed so dramatically.
We live in a world now that bears little resemblance to the world where those of us over 40 grew up. This new world is one in which we are increasingly bombarded with information — news from TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, the Internet and all sorts of ways that people can contact us, including fax, phone, text, email, Twitter and Facebook.
How do we manage all this information? How do we get respite from all the noise …

According to the latest Drought Monitor report, 50 percent of the country is considered in moderate or worse drought. The hardest hit areas remain west of the Mississippi River, encompassing a large swath stretching from Iowa farmland to the California coast.
Drought on the Plains & Midwest
Few in the region are left untouched by this year's drought, with extreme dryness and moderate drought resonating across much of the Northern Plains and into the Midwest. Most of the worst of the drought is confined to the southern Plains, primarily Texas and Oklahoma.
Forty-nine percent of Texas and 54 percent of Oklahoma are in severe or worse drought, the highest levels of drought seen in six months and one year, respectively.
Drought has continued to deepen in these states over much of the last month, impacting many of the state's key crops. The latest Crop Progress report showed more than 60 percent of wheat in both states are in poor or very poor condition.
But crops aren't the only concern linger in the Lone Star State. AgriMoney reports that farmland investment growth has been particularly week in the region, with full-year return on farmland investment falling to 7.9 percent from 12 percent for 2013. This marks the "lowest total return" of any region.
The National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries points that farmland prices fell marginally during the first quarter of 2014.
Read, "Drought-hit southern Plains weakest US land market."
California drought hits new high
For the first time in 15 years, 100 percent of California is in some degree of drought. The majority of the state – 77 percent – are in extreme or exceptional drought.
"This is a really serious situation here in California and people need to be cognizant of that and start conserving water as much as they can," said Jayme Laber, a hydrologist with the National Weather Service who is part of a team of scientists who contribute to the weekly drought monitor told the Los Angeles Times.
The lack of substantial precipitation over the last three rain seasons has affected every part of the state, "some worse than others," Laber said.
The U.S. Seasonal Drought Outlook shows a dry, hot spring turning into a dry, hot summer with no major drought relief seen through the end of July; however, the return of El Niño could bring welcomed precipitation to quench thirsty farmland.

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Nonverbal Learning Disorder
Nonverbal learning disorder is a learning disorder that has many
traits commonly associated with
Asperger's syndrome. Like those with Asperger's
syndrome, children with nonverbal learning disorder usually start to talk
around 2 years of age (the age at which speech normally develops). They often
have excellent memorization skills needed for reading and spelling. Also, they
share a desire to form relationships but often fail because of poor social
But these conditions are not the same. Children with nonverbal
learning disorder have some distinguishing characteristics. A hallmark trait of
the disorder is difficulty learning from the visual environment. Although they are
poor visual learners, children with nonverbal learning disorder often excel at
remembering information they hear. Children with Asperger's syndrome
are also good at remembering information they hear.
Children with nonverbal learning disorder often have difficulty with
math, because math is often explained in a visual context and these children
lack nonverbal reasoning skills.
While many people with Asperger's syndrome have nonverbal learning
disorder, not all do. Likewise, many people with nonverbal learning disorder do
not have Asperger's syndrome. Although these disorders are separate, they both
involve similar differences in processing information and those affected may
benefit from the same types of treatment.

When I think back to my most memorable Christmas, it has to be one where I received a doll I named Molly. Growing up, it was more than a challenge to find a doll that resembled me. I have black hair, brown eyes and tan skin. I loved dolls more than anything and like every little girl, I wanted a doll that looked like me.
My mom looked far and wide to find dolls that had darker complexions and dark hair instead of the usual blond-haired and blue-eyed baby dolls. I can't remember where she found Molly, but as you can imagine I was ecstatic when I opened her on Christmas Day.
Molly looked like a baby about 9 months old with short black hair. She had a removable pacifier, and she talked if I took it out of her mouth. She came dressed wearing a lavender one-piece outfit and white shoes. She was beautiful to me and remains one of my favorite Christmas gifts ever.
Who knows? Maybe this Christmas will be the one that remains the favorite in the heart of your loved ones. Besides meaningful gifts, delicious tasting food is another way to add merriment to your holiday.
Crock Pot Italian Beef Sandwiches
I love to find new recipes that turn out to be instant favorites. This is one of them. For my holiday luncheon at school I signed up to take a main dish after seeing this recipe on the blog Iowa Girl Eats. I love pepperoncini peppers and knew they would be tasty with beef.
The Italian beef sandwiches were a hit, and all of the meat was gone by noon. It was so good I plan to make it again as part of our casual Christmas lunch including plenty of appetizers.
3 lb chuck roast, trimmed of visible fat and cut into large hunks
1 envelope Good Seasons Zesty Italian salad dressing mix
8 oz pepperoncini pepper slices + splash of juice (plus extra peppers for serving)
8 oz Giardiniera (Chicago-Style Italian Sandwich Mix in oil) drained (plus extra for serving)
1 (14.5) oz can beef broth
provolone cheese slices
hoagie buns
Place chuck roast into the bottom of a 5.5- to 6-quart crock pot then sprinkle with salad dressing mix. Add pepperoncini peppers plus a splash of juice, Giardiniera, and beef broth then lift up chuck roast pieces to get broth underneath. Place a lid on top then cook on low for 9 hours or until meat shreds easily with a fork. Shred then place meat back into crock pot and cook on low for 1 more hour.
Split buns in half then scoop the shredded meat mixture on top and add provolone cheese slices. Top with additional pepperoncini peppers and Giardiniera, if desired, then serve.
Serves 6 (I found it served many more, it depends on the size of the buns)
Buttermilk Bacon Whipped Potatoes
Still looking for that perfect side dish? Potatoes with bacon with weelicious.com are sure to please everyone's palate.
4 slices thick-cut bacon
3 large yukon gold potatoes, peeled and chopped (about 4 cups)
2 teaspoons salt
2/3 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Place the chopped potatoes and salt in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook the potatoes until fork tender, about 5-10 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, lay the bacon in a skillet over low heat and cook until crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel to blot out any excess grease, then chop or crumble into small pieces.
Heat the buttermilk and butter in a saucepan until warm and the butter is melted. Place all the ingredients in a large bowl and whip with an electric mixer until fluffy and creamy adding more buttermilk if needed.
Spinach Artichoke Dip
If you're planning an appetizer table, like us, a warm and gooey dip is always welcome. Serve it with tortilla chips, crackers or chunks of beer bread.
1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 lb frozen spinach, thawed and chopped (or 2 bunches of fresh spinach can be used)
16 oz cream cheese, cubed (2 - 8oz bricks)
2 1/2 cups Monterey jack cheese, cubed (1 small cheese brick)
2 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, cubed (1 small cheese brick)
3 garlic cloves, minced (add more garlic depending on how much you like)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (this can be adjusted to taste)
Cube cheese and add to slow cooker. Chop artichoke hearts and spinach and add to cheese. Place in a slow cooker on high setting. Add garlic and pepper. Heat until melted, stirring occasionally. Cook about 1-2 hours stirring occasionally.
Serves 4
Chocolate Mint Kiss Crinkles
Over the weekend I had the most delectable white chocolate mint frozen yogurt. I absolutely adore mint and chocolate together. Recipegirl.com combined the two to make sweet mint crinkles perfect for Christmas.
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups granulated white sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoon green colored sugar (optional)
bag of mint truffle flavored Hershey's Kisses (they are green on the inside
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, and eggs until well mixed. Whisk in extracts. Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients just until combined. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll dough into 1/2 tablespoon balls. Roll balls into mixture of powdered sugar/green sugar. Place on cookie sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, until cookies crackle and dough doesn't look raw.
While cookies are baking, unwrap the kisses and make some room in your refrigerator or freezer for the cookie sheets. When the cookies come out of the oven, immediately place a kiss in the center of each cookie and press lightly. The kisses will start to get melty, so it's best if you are able to place the cookie sheet (with the kiss cookies still on it) directly into the freezer or refrigerator until the kisses can cool off and set up.
Glazed Eggnog Bread
If you need bread to go along with your Christmas brunch or a last minute gift to give, try eggnog bread from Recipe Girl. Eggnog makes a moist and scrumptious bread.
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated white sugar
1 cup eggnog
1/2 cup salted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla (or eggnog extract, if you have it)
1/2 teaspoon rum extract, optional
Eggnog Icing:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
dash freshly grated nutmeg
2 to 3 teaspoons eggnog
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of a 9x4x3-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, eggnog, melted butter, vanilla, and rum extract (if using). Add egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until moistened (batter will be lumpy).
Spoon batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes. Check for done-ness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the loaf - it should come out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on a rack.
Prepare icing: Combine sugar, vanilla, and nutmeg. Stir in enough eggnog to reach drizzling consistency. Drizzle cooled loaf with icing. Grate a little bit of fresh nutmeg over the icing then let icing set completely before wrapping loaf.

Charger - Heroic Steed Of TeelaReal Name: ChargerCharger is Teela's noble steed. He appears in the early Mini-Comics and Ladybird UK Books. Sometimes shown as a white Unicorn. The Filmation Episode: "The Huntsman" describes that there is only one Unicorn left on Eternia. It's more logical that Charger is a horse.

A kind, gentle and loving man to everyone. He would be patient with others, good with all. There is a serenity, or calmness about him, no moodiness, or tempers flaring. This person cares deeply and shows this by the strong embrace or hug when greeting or saying goodbye to a friend. The perfect person is not judgemental or patronizing, but genuine in relationships with everyone. They love unconditionally each and every person and have no ill feelings towards anyone. This is a rare person, there are not many out there, but there are a few who are pure in heart and honestly close to perfection... I know a few... and the one man who was born on this earth that was completely perfect in all things was Jesus Christ. We should become more like him. An Avanura is perfection to the human eye. This person has it all. The works.

Street Art
Photograph and text by Shana Joseph
In February 2012, 18 Haitian students participated in National Geographic's Photo Camp, a partnership with VisionWorkshops and Mercy Corps. Over the weeklong workshop, guided by National Geographic staff and photographers, students whose lives have been affected by Haiti's devastating 2010 earthquake had the opportunity to explore self-expression through photography. As a closing exercise, the students were asked to select two photos they had taken illustrating the main workshop themes: what they would like to see change in Haiti and what they celebrate about their country. This gallery presents a photo from each student, along with his or her comments about celebration and change.
Change: I want to change the working conditions of small vendors. They should have a nice and comfortable place to sell their products. It is not convenient to sit down on the street.
Celebrate: I want to celebrate national production. It's healthier to eat natural products, because many imported products are not natural.
Cité Soleil Children
Photograph and text by John Winchell Baptiste
Change: I wanted to change the reality of trash in the streets. Humans should[n't] live surrounded by trash. We should do something about this.
Celebrate: I think that people have the right to celebrate anything that makes them happy. Find what makes you happy and celebrate it!

Change: We must be unleashed, to be free from the imprisonment of all that prevents us from advancing.
Celebrate: We must always look ahead and still have the foresight to progress.
Coal Sellers, Kescoff Market

Change: This reality has to change. It's not normal that vendors sell their products in the street, on the sidewalk, surrounded by trash. It is a shame for human dignity.
Celebrate: We have to celebrate creativity, art, and human potential. With recycled products we can create works of art that complement our culture. Nothing is lost, nothing is generated, all is transformed.
Cité Soleil Gates
Photograph and text adapted from Sherley Alme
Change: I want to change the rubbish, which isn't good for our health. We should not burn it because it emits toxic air that is not good for people living in the area to breathe.
Celebrate: I want to celebrate honest, hard-working men. If they did not work, they could not give food to their families.
Iron Market Street

Change: We have to change the way we manage trash in this country. It's time to clean the streets, the canals, and the sewers.
Celebrate: I want to celebrate love. If everyone works to help others, to work with others, we would have a new Haiti.
Carnival Costume

Change: I don't want people to prepare and sell food in the street. Street food is exposed to microbes, and people who consume this kind of food can get any kind of illness.
Celebrate: I'd like to celebrate art, because I like that very much.
Bamboo Easels at Wynn Farm
Photograph and text by Magdaline Clermont
Change: I want to change the problem of centralization. This will help us prevent so many people from dying in case of another disaster like the one of January 12, 2010.
Celebrate: I want to celebrate work because without work we cannot do anything. Without work we can't eat and if we don't eat we can die. To realize our dreams we have to work.
Iron Market
Photograph and text by Vannessa Sainvil
Change: Misery, poverty—these are some factors that handicap our society. We have to fight them for a better life.
Celebrate: Smile, synonymous with joy, love, and sharing. A smile means a lot of things. A smile can change all. So let's celebrate life through this smile of peace.
Photograph and text by Adrien Mackenson
Change: I'd like to change the conditions of work for street vendors. They are sitting in the trash, and they can get any kind of illness.
Celebrate: I want to celebrate art in Haiti, because art could be exported, increase tourism, and help the economy.
Artists Portrait

Change: I would like to change my country. There are too many crimes in the country.
Celebrate: I'd like to celebrate work. If we have jobs for people, they can buy a house, and they will leave the tents.
Sun-Dried Fish
Photograph and text by Robdy Jean Robert Jn Louis
Change: It's not healthy to live around the trash. Many people get sick because of the unhealthy environments they live in.
Celebrate: I choose to celebrate nature through a fruit, because it's magnificent!
Hanging Art
Photograph and text by Ernst Orisme
Change: I think we have to change the way Haitians are working, to motivate them about the importance of work.
Celebrate: We have to celebrate trees in Haiti.
Colorful Fabric
Photograph and text by Christelle Chery
Change: I'd like to change the life of poor and disabled people. They are living in difficult and dirty conditions. Poor and disabled people are part of our society.
Celebrate: I want to celebrate sports activities of children. They are playing soccer, one of the favorite sports of Haitian people.

Change: I'd like to bring some change to the Haitian Carnival. Many people die every year. I'd like Haiti to have a Carnival without violence.
Celebrate: I'd like to celebrate the environment: trees, flowers that are important for the birds. It's the best place for them to rest. Trees, like the mapou and coconut, are helpful for our country. We need more trees in the mountains.
Infant Sitting on the Ground
Photograph and text by Michale Monplaisir
Change: I wish that people wouldn't throw trash and dirty water in the streets. When we do this, we make our environment ugly and unhealthy. Foreigners visiting our country think that we have a bad life living among the filth. This is not how we should live. We must come together to change our environment. I would like my country to prosper, not to suffer. We need health, food, and education so that our country can restore its identity.
To change a society is not as easy as people think, but with patience and a lot of work we'll make it. We should start with a strong educational campaign that teaches people the importance of property, and of the trees we have, while encouraging them to make furniture with other products. Authorities should be accountable for protecting and working with people in their communities.
Market Vegetables
Photograph and text by Vanessa Louissaint
Change: I want people to stop destroying trees. Instead of simply cutting down a tree, I believe that if someone cuts down a tree, she has to plant two. To avoid further deforestation, people should use natural gas or other renewable sources of energy. Trees clean the air and let us breathe well, and will also protect us from flood and drought.
Celebrate: I would like to celebrate the artisanal products of my country. In art we see beauty, and it allows us to identify creative and natural products. Artisanal products will also attract more tourists to Haiti.

Change: Because Haiti doesn't have enough schools, many children don't go to school. So I want to change this situation, because instead of going to school, many younger children work in bad conditions. They don't enjoy their lives as children. They have to go to school first, then to professional school or university, and go to work.
Celebrate: I'd like to celebrate the beautiful paintings from Haitian artists.

My stay at Naomi's place was very pleasant. The house is extremely clean, warm and comfortable and Naomi and her daughter are extremely lovely and helpful. I would definitively recommend this room to everyone looking for a cozy place in London.
Mi hijo y yo hemos pasado 8 días en casa de Naomi y su hija y ha sido una experiencia super ppositiva, en todo momento nos hemos sentido como en casa,es más mi hijo tiene tres años y en casa no quiere dormir solo en cama y en cambio en casa de Naomi ha requerido dormir solo en una cama,todo super conectado tanto con el centro como con el aeropuerto de Gatwict, sólo espero volver pronto a Londres y cómo no volver a casa de Naomi y su hija.gracias por todo Naomi y Rivhack .Maria
I have to thanks Naomi a lot. My son enjoyed his staying there and she took care of him. I am satisfied with Naomi and I will recommend her to other people
I truly enjoyed the stay at Naomi's place. The room is not big, but really comfortable, and Naomi and her daughter are very nice!
Stayed with Naomi once again and would always love to come back! Nothing has changed in regards to my previous ratings, except that perhaps it felt even more like visiting old friends this time!
I had a lovely stay with Naomi and her daughter who are very friendly and warmhearted women. Whenever I came home would feel welcome and move freely within their flat. My room was very light and of a convenient shape and size. There are very fast links to the city centre of London, its suburbs and also to Brighton (only 55 minutes). In future times I would definitely come and stay at Naomi's again, as I had a very pleasant time and enjoyed my trip very much.
Naomi and her daughter are wonderful hosts, very welcoming and nice people. The room was very nice and clean, and there is everything you need even an adapter. The rail station is also close to the place, only a 15 minutes walk. Thanks for a lovely stay!
I had a very good stay at Naomis house. My room was very clean, bright and really cozy, I had everything I needed, even an adapter for my mobile phone. Naomi and her daughter Rivka are very nice and hospitable people. I had a blast at talking with Naomi and her daughter and they have helped me a lot, during the stay and even before - Naomi send me the best connections from the most frequent airports and railways to her home. The railway connection from Naomis house to Central London is excellent - whithin maximum of 30 minutes you are in the heart of London, at the Windsor Castle or at the Hampton Court. During my next London visit I will definitaly book Naomis room.
Thank you for a nice time, with nice conversations.I was warmly welcomed in a nice family.The room is clean and cozy.I would definitely recommend this room.Thank you!
Ich habe den Aufenthalt bei Naomi und ihrer Tochter sehr genossen. Sie waren sehr nett und wir hatten tolle & interessante Gespräche.
Das Zimmer war gemütlich eingerichtet. Leider fand ich das Bett für meine Größe doch etwas klein. Die Wohnung von den beiden ist sehr groß und hübsch.
Die Lage ist naja. Von der Victoria Station aus mit der Bahn 15 Minuten, dennoch Zone 5 bereits und dadurch sind die Fahrtkosten teurer, wobei die Unterkunft sehr günstig ist. Leider hat die dortige Umgebend abends gar nicht gefallen.
Ich würde dennoch wieder kommen, da ich Naomi und ihre Tochter sehr mochte
