October 9 is … Moldy Cheese Day (Sounds like something Flip might enjoy)
Prepare yourself for some spectacular gastronomic delights when you celebrate Moldy Cheese Day.
The origins of this intriguing festival are obscure, but what’s clear is that it’s a time to value and cherish moldy cheese in all its wonderful forms. Tidy minded folk might wish to search their fridge for forgotten morsels of cheese which have now acquired interesting moldy growths, providing the basis for intriguing science projects and perhaps prompting a through clean-up. Alternatively, why not take a look at the many varieties of cheese which have been purposely exposed to mold in order to give them a mouth-watering flavor and enticing appearance?
Moldy Cheese Day is a chance to take Stilton sandwiches to work, or make cheese-on-toast with tasty Gorgonzola. Moldy Cheese Parties are popular option, where every guest should bring a cheesy dish to share and there is the opportunity to indulge in cheese themed party games.

On a more serious note it is also Fire Prevention Day
Fire Prevention Day exists both to raise awareness of practices that can help prevent these disasters, and to recognise the work of the fire-fighters who relieve them. It is also often used to commemorate particularly famous and devastating fires in individual communities, such as the Great Chicago Fire in North America. According to legend, this fire was started when a Mrs O’Leary’s milch cow kicked over a lantern in her shed.
Fire Prevention Days have kicked off with slogans such as ‘Fire Feeds on Careless Deeds’ and ‘Don’t Give Fire a Place to Start.’ During the celebration, people congratulate fire-fighters and promote various fire-prevention and fire-safety material. Examples include the ‘EDITH’ (Exit Drills In The Home) acronym, which encourages families to have an escape strategy planned in case of fire; drives to install smoke alarms and check them regularly, and awareness of other danger-spots for fire, from unattended candles to cooking stoves.

Good Morning CarolinaDave.

Today is Sunday, Oct. 9, the 283rd day of 2016. There are 83 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Oct. 9, 1936, the first generator at Boulder (later Hoover) Dam began transmitting electricity to Los Angeles.
On this date:
In 1446, the Korean alphabet, created under the aegis of King Sejong, was first published.
In 1514, Mary Tudor, the 18-year-old sister of Henry VIII, became Queen consort of France upon her marriage to 52-year-old King Louis XII, who died less than three months later.
In 1776, a group of Spanish missionaries settled in present-day San Francisco.
In 1888, the public was first admitted to the Washington Monument.
In 1914, the Belgian city of Antwerp fell to German forces during World War I.
In 1946, the Eugene O'Neill drama "The Iceman Cometh" opened at the Martin Beck Theater in New York.
In 1958, Pope Pius XII died at age 82, ending a 19-year papacy. (He was succeeded by Pope John XXIII.)
In 1966, the Baltimore Orioles won their first World Series as they swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in four games with a 1-0 victory at Memorial Stadium.
In 1975, Soviet scientist Andrei Sakharov (AHN'-dray SAHK'-ah-rawf) was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
In 1985, the hijackers of the Achille Lauro (ah-KEE'-leh LOW'-roh) cruise liner surrendered two days after seizing the vessel in the Mediterranean. (Passenger Leon Klinghoffer was killed by the hijackers during the standoff.)
In 1995, a sabotaged section of track caused an Amtrak train, the Sunset Limited, to derail in Arizona; one person was killed and about 80 were injured (the case remains unsolved).
In 2009, President Barack Obama was named the recipient of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for what the Norwegian Nobel Committee called "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."
Ten years ago: North Korea faced a barrage of condemnation and calls for retaliation after it announced that it had set off a small atomic weapon underground; President George W. Bush said, "The international community will respond." Google Inc. announced it was snapping up YouTube Inc. for $1.65 billion in a stock deal. American Edmund S. Phelps won the Nobel prize for economics.
Five years ago: At least 27 people were killed and more than 200 injured during massive clashes in downtown Cairo in the worst sectarian outburst since the February revolution. The NHL returned to Winnipeg after 15 years; Carey Price stopped 30 shots as the Montreal Canadiens put a damper on a massive civic celebration with a 5-1 victory over the Jets. The Milwaukee Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 9-6 in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series. Sir Paul McCartney married Nancy Shevell at Old Marylebone Town Hall in London.
One year ago: President Barack Obama visited Roseburg, Oregon, the scene of a community college shooting which had claimed the lives of nine victims as well as the gunman; the president met with victims' relatives, but also faced protests from legal gun owners. A democracy group, the Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet, won the Nobel Peace Prize for its contributions to the first and most successful Arab Spring movement. Former British Treasury chief and foreign secretary Geoffrey Howe, 88, died in Warwickshire, England.

As usual, some outstanding football games yesterday. Mr. Bean's Halo's drowned in their annual hurricane game, Tennessee's luck finally ran out (but just barely), Navy beat Houston, Oregon and Stanford were destroyed and Michigan squeaked by Rutgers 78-0. FSU beat Miami in the prime time thriller that lived up to billing.

Even at 50% cap, I bet I could make it worth my while.

GA must have Les Miles coaching today with that clock management play calling

As it should be. That's why I'm watching. Aside that a college game is better than most of the pro offerings.
-
stenciling complete. screen room floor painting can wait for another day. too much prep work to start now, and too close to nap time and dinner.

I agree, even though the small print capped the promo at 50%...seems however we are a little late.

Ridiculous how complicated they made the postponement of the the Florida/LSU game has been made. Now a pissing match. League just has to step in and get it done. Should have been done a week ago...not like the storm was a surprise.

Enjoy it, absolutely dreary here. Must be shitty in Boston too because they postponed the ALDS game.

Happy the Nationals tied it up. But ultimately I'm looking for the Cubbies to take it. They're a bit overdue.
-
Georgia really didn't look like it wanted to win, but luckily they were playing the shamecocks, so they won in spite of themselves.
Eagles gave away their game.
-
Dallas looking good, Atlanta over Denver as well.
-
Cleveland lost two more QB's....what's Manziel's number?

Looks like Matthew is done and gone out into the Atlantic.
