To be clear, there is plenty of scientific research done on the medjugorje occurrences. Actually, the Catholic Church is quite rigorous about such things -- take a look, for example, at the scientific evidence the church has gathered regarding Lourdes, for example. Of course, I'm certain that you will not accept that evidence -- this is, after all, an atheist web site -- but do not make the mistake of suggesting that the faithful avoid science. Quite the contrary, the Catholic Church (at least) can be attacked for much, but not for concealing its miraculous events from science.
I mean this sincerely, and do not wish to criticize (although it will probably be interpreted as such). It is telling that so many comments below assumed that "believers would not allow science to get near a miracle" when in fact the opposite is true. Again, you may have alternative explanations, but no one can seriously argue that the Catholic Church avoids scientific inquiry. The fact that so many did tells me that they did not have the slightest clue regarding what they were commenting about. And this on a web site purportedly devoted to reason, evidence, skeptical inquiry....

life insurance trust
A life insurance trust is a trust which is both the owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy. Thus, when the holder of the policy dies, the life insurance policy will pay the premium into the trust.
There are tax benefits to a life insurance trust. If the policy simply pays to the estate of the deceased, the premium will be subject to the estate tax. However, if the policy pays in to a life insurance trust, the premium is not a part of the estate and thus not subject to the tax.
There are certain limitations on a life insurance trust; it is irrevocable and non-amendable.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A trust set up to own a life insurance policy, so that the policy proceeds arent subject to estate tax when the original policy owner dies. Life insurance trusts are usually irrevocable.
Definition provided by Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary.

HGTV.com HGTV Message Boards At Home Holidays Christmas cards received vs cards sent??? (Via US MAIL) |
Go | New | Find | Notify | Tools | Reply |
Didn't send many but only received: 2 from long ago acquaintances 1 from relative 1 from business (our ins. co.) | |||
I am usully the early bird sending out cards.My job tonight is to make them out.I'll leave my familys cards at my parents on Monday for the family,save stamps And take DH family card with us on Christmas day to give out. Recieved,1- parents today,1- from sis,1- niece& hubby and no others.I was looking forward to our Insurance Co.too.I juts told DH,I'm calling them right after and complaining.,that I was waiting on it...LOL. Here is my card to all the board members. | ||||
I sent out 32 and have received 4 so far. | ||||
Don't even remember how many I sent, wasn't much, but since I didn't send any last year I figured I'd better let a few folks know that we were still alive!! We've gotten a bunch and I'm sure we'll get more but no idea how many. www.floridafarmgirlsworld.blogspot.com Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain. | ||||
Years ago, I used to send 35-50 every year, then it went down to 20 or so and, for the last several years I haven't sent any so I don't really expect to get any which is pretty much what has happened! This year, I have only received 3 from relatives (most are photo cards from younger family members with pictures of their children with a printed signature/no personal message) and 5 from businesses' that I don't really think are sent because they are thinking of me at this time of year. Instead, I think they are hoping that I will think of THEM when I do business next year! It used to be that Christmas cards were a way of keeping in touch ~ long-distance telephone calls were just too expensive to call casual friends and hand-written letters were reserved for close family members and friends but, now, with the internet, facebook, e-mail and such people are staying in touch in other, more impersonal ways. It's too bad in a way. I like hearing from friends via computer but sure don't print out their messages and set them on the mantel the way I do Christmas cards! | ||||
I sent out at least 100. So far we've gotten about 80 and with our mail delayed in the forwarding process I imagine we'll get at least another 30. Most of our friends are very traditional like us in the sending out cards. Only a niece sent a digital via Facebook. Nothing better than re-reading cards and looking at family pictures after the holidays. | ||||
I just don't seem to have the time to send cards any more. I did mail some to the three kids and my penpal in England. We've received probably a dozen. Sherry Does this hat make my butt look big? www.keepyouinstitches.blogspot.com http://s193.photobucket.com/al...9/keepyouinstitches/ www.friendsofthedaingerfieldpu...library.blogspot.com | ||||
I definitely send more than I receive. I still enjoy sending them via mail. I have many older relatives and friends who appreciate them. Mine will go in my prayer basket with all the others. | ||||
I send out more than I receive but it is a way to keep in touch with old friends -- most of the ones I don't receive back are the ones from DH's relatives -- his cousins! I may give them up next year! Martha | ||||
We definitely sent out more cards than we have received so far. We've gotten many nice e-mail greetings, including those pretty cards from Jacquie Lawson. But, not as many as we would have liked from siblings and cousins. I guess it's because we are in pretty much constant touch with them through phone, e-mail and Facebook. I am old-fashioned enough to enjoy sending out cards with those pretty holiday stamps, especially to some overseas friends. And, I love getting cards in the mail, where we put them in a basket on the coffee table to enjoy. We may not mail any cards next year, except to some older relatives. | ||||
Even my young cousin, who eschews anything 'old-fashioned", admitted he likes getting cards in the mail. Though I keep in touch with most people throughout the year there is just something.. oh, special.. about a card. Like someone cares enough to actually DO it. It is small act of kindness. I buy special cards for certain people and I must admit the pickings were slim this year. | ||||
I send out about two dozen and usually get about that amount mailed back to us. There are some people who just feel that they should email you their greetings. The following year, I just cross them off my list. | ||||
I'm thinking this is a general trend as I talk to others. We also have cut WAY back on both received and sent. About 3 years ago when postage kept rising steadily and time was short, we just decided it was not something we really wanted to do. We do send out individual email greetings with photo attachments to friends and relation, and mail only a couple of cards to those few who still don't do computers. I'm also thinking mailing Xmas cards may tend to go the way of long letters sent by mail? Fewer and fewer, but those that do, will certainly still be special to some who receive them. | ||||
Great Topic!!! Years ago, I used to send out about 15-20 Holiday cards, which I always decorated inside. Over the years, I sent out less and less. This year, I sent out none and received none in return!!! I did get a calender from the Insurance Co. though! SPRING HAS F I N A L L Y SPRUNG!!!!! | ||||
LOL about the calendar, Wavy | ||||
We used to send out many dozens and gradually reduced that as it was so time-consuming. This year I sent 3 and hand delivered another 3! I send flowers, phone elderly relatives, and email/phone friends. Of course at my age there are few older relatives still with us! Most people I know have greatly reduced or quit sending cards. I received a few cards which is always surprising so I phone or email them to say thanks. My insurance co. has not sent me a card! And after all I give them! LOL I'll have to stop by and get a calendar from them! Lucky "I have always had an aversion to the concepts of in style and out of style." ~Rose Tarlow Inspirational pics: http://inspiration4u.shutterfly.com/ | ||||
Our insurance co's do not send calendars either, but then I probably would not use one they did send. Anyone recall back when local Mortuaries sent calendars? Usually very peaceful scenes and one could check off the days, so you knew how many you maybe had left? | ||||
did almost 100..they included 2 web site pals (one in austraila and one in canada) family and long term friends, and dh's office... | ||||
Number of cards sent out: 0 Number of cards received: 12 We stopped sending out cards years ago. I had a Christmas stress meltdown one year, which led to us reexamining our Christmas traditions. We crossed many things off of our to-do lists then, and took back our sanity. Christmas cards ceased to be a tradition for us. I still love to receive cards, but I don't expect any since we don't participate ourselves. | ||||
lol....it helps when you have addresses. Took our cards on vacation and discovered I didn't bring the addresses with me. I also have relatives who moved and didn't share the address. My brother sent me a text message, so he made the attempt to get a Christmas message to us. His card will get to him via our mom....he has to be sure to check her house. We did the same with my husband's siblings. My MIL loved sharing how their mail carrier sent them a card WITH postage. They were delighted by this. As I counted the cards posted, I realized how they didn't even have duplicates of cards. Ten cards....and I know some are "in the mail". Some friends are late senders-love ALL my dear friends; I am late, too. Our hearts remember friends and families during the holidays that are going through much to remember us. They're never forgotten.This message has been edited. Last edited by: trish212, | ||||
About ten years ago, we decided to stop sending cards because of the expense. We still received a few, but not many. After our parents died, DH decided we should start sending cards again to stay in touch with friends and relatives. Three years ago we sent about 70 cards and received about 60 cards. Last year we sent about 60 cards and received only about 30 cards. This year we sent a little over 50 cards and only received 25 so far. Many of our friends and cousins are elderly and we know they appreciate being remembered so we will probably continue to send cards whether we receive any back or not. My family is better about staying in touch than DH's family. | ||||
If some of our cards are being sent later, I can find cards still coming in our mailbox, too. We have had two more in the past two days. Glad I have the Non perfect type of family. | ||||
Just yesterday I got a beautiful card in the mail...from my dear friend in Germany. | ||||
Yep, another one from a family member. Sure am thankful for family. | ||||
I used to send out cards. I did the whole Christmas thing--sent out cards, bought presents (even when I was flat broke), and was sad because I lived alone so really didn't have anyone to share all the "joy" with. The older and older I get, the less I care about Christmas. I haven't sent cards out in years and have to say, off the top of my head, received one card this year. From my aunt. My other aunt sent a present and it had a card inside. It is probably from those two aunts that I learned the most about doing the "right" thing, i.e., sending out cards, buying presents, etc. But they both married young and were wealthy so they had everything I didn't. Now, a bizillion years later, that stuff is unimportant to me. What is important is kindness, world peace, thoughtfulness of others, family. That's what Christmas means to me. I am trying to raise my kids that way, too, not "how many presents is Santa going to bring me." They're more into the presents. :-) | ||||
We haven't sent cards in years. probably since the kids were little.. 15 years easily. We get maybe 6 cards each year, 2 business, 3 from much older family members, 1 Christmas newsletter from our oldest friends that always exhausts us and frankly depresses me. They are retired and !!!!ACTIVE!!!! we will never be able to retire and are raising 2 little kids again. Its a good day when we are in bed at 9 p.m. I haven't the energy to lick the envelopes! Life is GOOD!! | ||||
I'm pretty sure I rec'd as many as I sent out, haven't checked yet. One in-law simply said on facebook she wasn"t sending out cards this year. I send Jacquie Lawson e-cards plus regular to some, since they are so pretty and I'm paying for the account. It's a tradition I don't like seeing gobbled up by "modern technology". | ||||

12-13-2011, 07:27 PM #3Mike, Thanks for the fast response. I'm still not sure what I need. I do have the AP8 service parts code on my 11 GMC Sierra Crew Cab. It has the 6 speed auto with no rear defroster or power sliding window. Do I just need the 2 key fobs part#17801236 or do I also need the part#19171128 or both??? Just a little confused and is this have to go to a dealer for install and programming??
12-13-2011, 07:55 PM #4I checked my "build sheet" and my truck was prepped for remote start too. That would be great to have on these 20-degree mornings and need to warm the truck up so junior does not freeze.

12-13-2011, 08:32 PM #5Having RPO Code "AP8" on the Service Parts List (White Sticker)....then you have the Remote Starter Prep-Package......
As I mentioned in the other Thread......the Programming of the New Remote Start Fobs......Must Be DONE by the Dealer Only.....for this Reason......The kit includes two Remote Fobs and an UNLOCK Authorization Security Code that the Tech at the Dealer needs when they call G.M. to do the Programming of the New Fobs.......with that being say, Do Not Buy the Remote Start Fobs off of E-bay......buy them from the Dealer Only.......IIRC the one you are wanting is.....#17801236 ......But double Check with your Dealer, to be sure.
Remote Start
Upgrade your factory remote key-less entry to a standard Remote Start system, or choose the advanced technology of the 2-Way Advanced Remote Start featuring extended range and enhanced functionality. Both are seamlessly integrated with your Silverado's anti-theft and remote key-less entry systems.

RSA Updates Adaptive Authentication Solution For Advanced Threats
4:53 PM EST Tue. Nov. 20, 2012RSA, the security division of EMC, has announced major updates to its Adaptive Authentication, which are aimed at striking a more effective balance against advanced threats while at the same time preserving ease-of-use.
New malware such as Zeus, Citadel and the recently discovered Gozi Prinimalka Trojan, have continued to change the landscape of IT security by posing a higher level of threat that is typically mitigated by more complex security responses.
"Adaptive Authentication is a fraud mitigation and risk-based authentication platform designed for identity protection and verification to prevent account take-over," said Amy Blackshaw, senior product marketing manager of RSA's Identity and Data Protection Group. "It's all about protecting our customers' brands and their customers against fraudulent activities. It is transparent for the majority of users who interact with it because it authenticates based on multiple factors, including your behavior profile, your device profile and known fraudulent entities."
[Related: RSA Acquires Fraud Detection Company Silver Tail Systems]
With an estimated 30 million pieces of malware targeting end users for account take over, the updated solution leverages more than 100 characteristics that could be indicative of an attack. It is also designed to better detect exploits such as HTML injection, through which fraudsters can add fields to the interface in order to harvest credentials from the genuine user. In other cases, the exploit enables fields to be automatically populated with additional details such as artificial payees for use in fraudulent money transfers. A third option involves a proxy attack, in which fraudsters use a genuine user's IP address or the actual device to launch any variety of attack. The first step in preventing such exploits, according to Blackshaw, is to ascertain the proper identity.
"If the behavior is in line with what we've seen for that user before, then there is likely no additional challenge," she said. But if I log-in, for example, from my husband's computer on our way to Hawaii, then it's very likely that I will have to re-authenticate. This is an open API where we can hook into any authentication package, as well as our own technology. You may be asked to provide answers to a challenge question, or use multifactor authentication to prove your identity, depending on the configuration. But with a challenge rate of only 1 to 3 percent, we are successfully making it pretty easy for the end user."
After implementation, the system's risk engine runs in silent mode to gather data on the user population and establish baseline behavior patterns. It may take as long as three to six months for the system to optimize, Blackshaw said. But some information can be proactively added to the system.
NEXT: Increased Mobile Capabilities
RSA has also added additional features around location awareness and mobile device identification in order to better identify anomalous locations not previously associated with the user.
"We are using either Wi-Fi or cell phone triangulation," RSA's Blackshaw said. "In some places we see more fraud than in others, so we are learning that some places are more risky than others."
To combat automatic teller machine attacks in the banking sector, the Adaptive Authentication solution now protects against account takeover fraud in the ATM channel by assessing ATM-specific activity including date and time of access, transaction amount, frequency of withdrawal, ATM owner and ID, and location of ATMs in order to assess risk.
Adaptive Authentication comes in two versions. One, which is designed for hosted environments, will be available in January and priced on a per-transaction model. A second, on-premises version is already available and is priced on a per-user basis.

In a pinch, I can slide the 2nd handlebars out, remove the linkage, put the regular seat back in and be back to an old fashioned upright bike, and then the recumbent seat at the back can be used for a passenger. Who's to say I can't pick up hitch-hikers along the way!

I think you found my list of desirable features and actually made one. Current mode throttle rocks, so does adjustable regen and cycle by cycle current limiting. I'll be real interested in how you implemented the sensorless mode too.

The Washington Backcountry Discovery Route (WABDR) is a scenic route across Washington State from Oregon to Canada through the Cascade Mountain Range. The 600-mile route follows a connection of mostly unpaved back roads that can be ridden on dual-sport and adventure motorcycles or driven in 4x4 and high-clearance 4WD vehicles. The route is usually snow-free July through September.
Use this waterproof motorcycle map along with the GPS tracks available on the WABDR Website to make your way through one of the most beautiful routes through Washington State. You can even scan special bar codes on the map with your smart phone to see video clips for each section of the WABDR.
Please visit the WABDR Website for more information on the route and to download the free GPS tracks, then watch the Expedition DVD to get inspired for your ride.
Add the Okanogan, North Cascades, and Gifford Pinchot Forest maps to complete the set for doing the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route.
No instructions are currently available for this product.
A group of freinds and I ran the WABDR this summer. This map was very useful for planning the trip and discussing with our group. I like the way the gas stations are called out on the back of the map with the mileage in between. This was very helpful because a few guys in our group had limited fuel range. The map was durable and waterproof which was great because we did see a bit of rain one day. The map doesn't quite have enough detail in my opinion so we used forest service maps for navigation and of course the GPS tracks which we downloaded for free at www.wabdr.com

First Downs and Second Guesses
College football Letter of Intent Signing Day was a couple weeks ago. One recruiting pitch to potential signees is that the school has a strong history of qualifying to play in a bowl game at the end of the season. What is so enticing to a studentathlete about playing in a bowl game at the end of the season? It's the perks, baby.
The NCAA allows each bowl to award up to $550 worth of gifts to 125 participants per nike cyber Monday school. Schools can, and almost always do, purchase additional packages that they can distribute to participants beyond the 125 limit. In other words, if the football party itself (players and coaching staff) takes up the entire 125 person limit, then schools will buy additional packages for studentmanagers, team doctors, black friday nike Board of Regents members, etc. In addition, participants can receive awards worth up to $400 from the school and up to $400 from the conference for postseason play, covering both conference title games and bowl games. Each represents an increase of $50 over last year. So if you add up the numbers, players can receive up to $1350 worth of gifts at the end of a successful season.
Another popular bowl perk is the "gift suite" for players. Gift suites are rooms hosted by the nike black friday deals bowl committee and set up at the team hotel or a school campus. Players, coaches, and VIPs are allowed to choose their gifts from a variety of items, including electronics, mountain bikes, recliners, and back packs. At least 14 of the 2011 bowl games offered gift suites to players.
Here is a sample of the 2011 bowl gift list:
Famous Idaho Potato Gift suite, North End nike black Friday 2013 winter coat, Kombi gloves, Nike beanie, Ogio Fugitive backpack, Big Game souvenir football.
Beef 'O' Brady's Sony PlayStation 3, Oakley Eyepatch 2, Oakley backpack duffel, minihelmet.
Belk Estimated $400 shopping trip to Belk's flagship store in Charlotte, NC, Fossil watch.
Military presented by Northrop Grumman Amazon Kindle Fire, Apple iPod nano, Deuce watch, LunaTik wristband (to hold iPod), beanie, Nike backpack.
Insight Gift suite, Fossil watch, cap, Ogio Convoy backpack.
ChickFilA $250 Best Buy gift card, Fossil watch, Russell Athletic ski cap, Russell Athletic travel bag, $15 ChickFilA gift card, commemorative football.
Capital One $420 shopping trip to nike store black Friday a local Best Buy, Timely Watch Co. watch.
Rose Bowl Gift suite, Fossil watch, New Era hat, Oakley Flak Pack 3.0.
Tostitos Fiesta Gift suite, Kenneth Cole watch, cap, Ogio Convoy backpack.
All State Sugar Gift suite, Reactor watch, New Era cap, Majestic nike black Friday sale 2013 fleece pullover.
AT Cotton Fossil watch. Note: Bowl committee would not disclose additional details about nike outlet black Friday participants' gifts.
Gator Fossil watch, GatorGear performance headwear, rolling luggage bag, Jostens ring, commemorative football.
Liberty Best Buy gift card, Fossil watch, Nike nike black friday sales training shoes, Nike sport sandals, Nike sunglasses, Nike Air nike black friday sale Jordan backpack, commemorative game ball.
BCS National Championship Game Gift suite, Fossil watch, New Era cap, Boxer and Stone shirt. The kids voted for Cougars. The school board vetoed that name because it decreed the name "too racy" and chose the Chargers instead.
The Salt Lake Tribune said the board in Draper nixed the results of the student vote on the grounds Cougar was a derogatory term because of its use as a nickname for single women on the nike black Friday prowl for younger boyfriends.
Superintendent David Doty said that his office had received complaints from concerned parents and decided to head off any problems before the school opened in 2013.
There must be a lot of single moms in their 30′s and 40′s in Draper who would have felt prosecuted by that Cougar team name and who must carry a lot of influence in the town. Ah, the influence of the internet, cable television, and porn in Small Town, America these days.

text: Being a gear in today's civilization thwarts much of what makes us human and rapes our soul of any adventure and freedom. Now that I am back in Canada, I look back fondly at the time when I had no address and commitment to do anything – my journey through Eurasia. For a short time I was free and carried myself on impulse guided desires, with time being my only restriction. Being able to feed my mind constantly with new exotic experiences throughout the journey was more gratifying and stimulating than I would have ever imagined. For most of us who have had a lifestyle of directed living normalized, it will be very difficult to appreciate the beauty of uncertainty and effort that backpacking gives you. Read on and below you will find my personal accounts of a journey through China, Mongolia, and Russia that inspired the former sentences and myself to look at life a little differently.

The Story
Designed in 1964 by Maija Isola, the Unikko ("poppy") design has been the most popular Marimekko print since its introduction. Challenging the common notion of decorative florals, Unikko broke from tradition with its creative pop art interpretation in bold, simplified pattern and bright color. Reproduced in infinite color combinations over its 47-year history, the pattern remains current while symbolizing the free spirit of its designer and those who admire it. Pieni Unikko is scaled between the original Unikko and the Mini-Unikko patterns.

This review is very fair. cool hangout though and really popular.

This place is a gem!
A wonderful little local café with top quality food, a very descent coffee (uses Nude beans i think) and a warm and welcoming vibe.
The conservatory at the back feels like home away from home.
5 stars for maison.Nicola B. Wed Nov 14 2012Rated as: 5/5 -
A shambles. Don't bother wasting your time. Waited 20 minutes for a coffee before deciding to cut my losses and leave. Try nearby Ziloufs instead. Substance over style.

I went back to Maison d'Etre straight away last saturday morning, just coming out of the Eurostar! I simply love the place. Plus it's only one tube station away from St Pancras!

I had a pretty exceptional piece of cake here, and I am extraordinarily fussy about my cake. We had the lemon tart too, and yes it was tiny, but very fresh which is sadly unusual. I am fed up of soggy pastry. If your cupcake was dry, well serves you right for ordering cupcake :)
Great coffee too and a lovely space.tom Mon Jul 9 2012Rated as: 5/5 -
Anne Faber you are a mad woman - 2/5??? Truly crazy.
Maison D'etre is my local and favourite cafe in London. You will struggle to find better coffee elsewhere. Benoit's comments are pretty funny. The staff are great and always welcoming. I recommend the salmon with cream cheese and dil sandwich dish.
I can't wait for summer to roll around to make the most of the outdoor area :)dougal Fri Feb 3 2012Rated as: 5/5 -
To be honest with you. I'm french, from Paris, in my late 30s. So i always wake up in a bad mood and you can imagine that Parisians think very little of british bread, not to mention... coffee. But even if it defies my greatest prejudices i must say that the homemade patisseries, the food (made in front of you by the most ravishing women) and the selection of excellent coffees manage to put me in a good mood every day. I even almost become amicable if i take a second serving. So i made it my HQ and all my friends are forever thankful. Try it, it might save your relationship!

We visited maison d'etre this afternoon as it was mentioned in The Guardian a couple of weeks ago.
The place is very cute but perhaps too small to accommodate big groups. Luckily after a short wait we found a nice corner at the back yard.
Tea and scones left us all satisfied and the service was quick and sweet.
Will be back again for launch one of these days.Yuyu Thu Nov 17 2011Rated as: 4/5 -
Top little gem of a cafe fast becoming my top coffee haunt. Super cute with beautiful vintage decor and top quality coffee and cakes. It's all the little details I love- down to the little jars of tempting toppings and preserves on the tables, and the record player in the corner you can choose records for. I love this place.
Rosemary Mon Nov 14 2011Rated as: 5/5 -
Love this place, been a couple of times, and i have to say it's probably my favourite cafe in north London at the moment.

The Nature Conservancy's carbon footprint calculator measures your impact on our climate.
Our carbon footprint calculator estimates how many tons of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases your choices create each year. more info
There are Select... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10+ people in my household.
Please select number of people and choose "For Me Only" or "For My Household".
Your estimated greenhouse gas emissions are tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent per year, which is the same as the U.S. national average.
To reduce your climate impact, there are many simple things you can change in your everyday behavior that will make a big difference in the fight to slow climate change:
CO2 eq/year Conversion

Offsetting your carbon footprint with The Nature Conservancy will help fund forest conservation, improved forest management or reforestation projects that produce measurable benefits to the atmosphere. The projects in this program will help reduce or slow the worst consequences of climate change and protect habitats and the natural services they provide.
Inevitably, in going about our daily lives — commuting, sheltering our families, eating — each of us contributes to the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change. Yet, there are many things each of us, as individuals, can do to reduce our carbon emissions. The choices we make in our homes, our travel, the food we eat, and what we buy and throw away all influence our carbon footprint and can help ensure a stable climate for future generations.
The Nature Conservancy neither transfers nor sells carbon offsets through its voluntary carbon offset program. You contribute to The Nature Conservancy; the projects in the Conservancy's voluntary carbon offset program create the carbon offsets, and then we retire the carbon offsets on your behalf.

More than 190 countries will gather at the UN Climate Change Conference this December 7-18 in Copenhagen to determine the environmental fate of our planet (see the Guardian's ongoing coverage for baseline facts). With less than 40 days remaining before the Copenhagen conference, a new effort -- Hopenhagen -- seeks to unite citizens across the world in political action.
The Hopenhagen site features a petition, which will be delivered to the conference. The goal: Get participating countries to seal the deal and sign an effective climate pact.
Live Earth is pleased to announce the largest global water initiative in history to help solve the world water crisis with Global Water Challenge and Dow.
Taking place on April 18, 2010, the Dow Live Earth Run for Water will feature concerts and water education activities aimed at igniting a massive global movement to help solve the water crisis.

In the Mtwara region, one of the poorest in Tanzania, the health status of the people is below the national average and infant mortality is well above it. Only around 30% of the population has access to safe water and adequate sanitation.
Malaria is prevalent throughout the region, and many of diseases afflicting people are water related.
Global Water Challenge and African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF) have partnered and are constructing rainwater harvesting systems in schools in the Mtwara region of Tanzania, Africa. This will help to implement clean water, safe sanitation and hygiene practices in this impoverished region of Tanzania.
This October 15 more than 8,000 blogs wrote to support the environment. Here's our entry, authored by Geoff Livingston:
Twenty three percent. That's the percentage of global energy consumed by U.S. citizens, which only has 5% of the world's population (source: World Resource Institute). If the rest of the world consumed as Americans do, it would take 5.4 earths to meet our resource needs (source: Global Footprint Network). Better hope those moon and Mars programs get funding!
In all seriousness, we as Americans have become incredible consumers of the world's resources.
Event Reporting
This page summarizes the areas of the event you will need to measure and reporting. A reporting document will be provided to you to fill out after the event.
The global water crisis is affecting everyone all over the world in a major way. And it's about time it was brought to the mainstream attention of the world. Water seems like such an easy accessible, everyday resource – that people do not realize it is a luxury for millions around the world.
On Tuesday, October 13th, the students at Mott Hall Science and Technology Academywere up at 4:30 A.M. to show their support for clean drinking water. The students have committed to participate in the Dow Live Earth Run for Water on April 18th and were helping us tell the world about the event by appearing on CBS's The Early Show. It was cold, but the kids from Mott Hall realized that there were kids like them all over the world who didn't have water in their schools. In fact, half of the world's schools lack access to clean drinking water and safe sanitation.
Grand Rapids, Michigan is the next U.S. city to join the effort to "Take Back The Tap." Following New York, San Francisco and Portland, the Midwestern city has pledged to stop using bottled water in city facilities or at its events.
Take Back The Tap is a two-pronged campaign. It convinces businesses to switch from bottled water to tap water and then further asks people to petition congress for a public trust fund that will finance water infrastructure.
The Toyota Prius has been highlighted through just about every media format possible, and the number of them on the road keep growing.
Leave it up to the folks of the comedy team Casual Mafia to put it all into perspective with their hilarious video - "In My Prius." It glorifies this culturally iconic eco-friendly vehicle to a whole new, catchy level.
Actress Mélanie Laurent of the film Inglourious Basterds is joining Greenpeace on a trip to Indonesia this week to see the incredible beauty of one of the most important and threatened tropical forests on the planet. The purpose is to publicly highlight the importance of protecting these amazing forests in the run up to critical UN climate talks this December in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Melanie will witness first hand the destruction and burning of the forests and the underlying carbon rich peat. She will meet local communities who are dependent on the forest for their survival. We may also be able to see endangered biodiversity, for example we may be able to visit a Sumatran elephant refuge or a rehabilitation centre where orangutans are being introduced back into the wild.
Ever wonder how water makes it up to your top floor apartment? This is something that most of us don't think twice about because we're lucky enough to turn on the faucet and its just there. Well not only does it takes hundreds of energy sucking pumps to get us the water we need, but it is in fact one of the highest uses of energy in the United States. According to a 2005 California Energy Commission report (pdf), about 25 % of America's electricity goes to moving and treating water!
On Saturday, people in 181 countries came together for the most widespread day of environmental action in the planet's history. At over 5,200 events around the world, people gathered to call for strong action and bold leadership on the climate crisis.
Every Monday we profile a Dow Live Earth Run for Water partner organization that works toward providing solutions to the nearly 1 billion people who lack access to clean, safe water. To donate to one of these projects, visit liveearth.org/give.
Pump Aid is an international Water and Sanitation charity that tackles poverty by working with local communities in southern Africa. Pump Aid does this by establishing sustainable supplies of clean water and safer sanitation solutions. The long-term effects of our work will ensure improved health and increased agricultural production by improving the availability and quality of water for domestic consumption; promoting the productive use of water in agriculture, tree-planting; and providing sanitation with health education.
President Barack Obama on Tuesday announced $3.4 billion in grants to help build a "smart" electric grid.
"At this moment, there's something big happening in America, when it comes to creating a clean-energy economy," President Obama said. "But getting there will take a few more days like this one, and more projects like this one."
We are so proud to be working with Akvo.org on the Dow Live Earth Run for Water! Live Earth's global network of water charity partners is working with Akvo to help donors and doers reach out to fund thousands of new water and sanitation projects. Click here to check out some of the global Run for Water project listings on Akvo. Explore the Akvopedia. Akvo's team came to New York for the Dow Live Earth Run for Water announcement this week and took some photos and videos chronicling the experience and we asked them to share...
One in eight people don't have access to safe, clean drinking water. In fact, 5,000 children die each day due to inadequate access to clean water. Pete Wentz, a new dad himself, won't stand for it.
Wentz stood up to the water crisis alongside Jessica Biel, Angelique Kidjo, Alexandra Cousteau, and others in announcing the largest worldwide water initiative on record to combat the global water crisis.
Thank you for your interest in the Dow Live Earth Run for Water. We appreciate your enthusiasm and willingness to participate! It's people like you who will make the Dow Live Earth Run for Water a success and will help solve the global water crisis.

Live Earth Announces 2010 Global Event!
Live Earth is pleased to announce the largest worldwide water initiative in history to help combat the global water crisis.
Dow has just unveiled a new solar panel - a solar shingle. The Solar Shingle was designed by Dow Solar Solutions to be integrated into residential rooftops with the standard asphalt shingle materials. The shingle systems are expected to be available in limited quantities by mid-2010 and more widely available in 2011.
These innovative rooftop shingles will convert sunlight into electricity for residents much easier, and cheaper than previous solar panels. The shingles have a thin film on them, which cuts out the cost of installation dramatically because it can be installed by a roofer who is already building or fixing a roof. So not only are these cheaper than typical solar panels, you'll also save time and installation costs. And they're nearly invisible!

Introduction to the methods and concepts underlying the poetic nature of strong writing in both poems and prose form. Students will read, discuss and demonstrate the use of devices such as metaphor, diction, narrative variety, voice and dialogue in poems, prose poems, fiction and non-fiction works. The unit will explore how writers combine these poetic devices into a flexible practice across genre and then students will develop a folio of original work in their chosen combination of such practices.
