Supporters pay their respects
Wolves have been inundated with tributes from supporters following the passing of club legend Bert Williams.
Bert, who made 420 appearances for Wolves and won 24 England caps, will be honoured with a minute's applause prior to kick-off of tomorrow's game with Bristol City.
Below are a selection of the tributes received via e-mail and by the club's Social Media channels.
RIP Bert Williams one of the best of the very best. A wonderful example to everyone.
Geoff Bullock
It is with great sadness that I have learnt of the death of Bert Williams. I wish to offer my Deepest Sympathy to his Family and Friends.
As a youngster in the early 50s I became my primary school football team goalkeeper, and I also had just started to follow a team called Wolverhampton Wanderers. I lived in East Sussex and did not have a clue where Wolverhampton was, but I have been a Wolves supporter since then and still am, and try to get to our beloved Molineux when I can. I spent hours with football magazines, and football annuals, some of which I still have, reading about my new hero – Bert Williams. I was given a goalie's jumper just like Bert wore in the pictures that I saw, and I also managed to obtain a cap like I saw Bert wearing. Not only did I wear these items playing football for the school, the story my parents used to tell people was that I was even known to go to bed wearing my Bert Williams football kit. Bert was a great inspiration to me during my time playing football, as I know he was to a lot of other people of my generation, and his skill and reputation spread beyond our time to people who follow football even up to the modern era of football.
Bert Williams was and will always be a true legend. The football world is a richer place for having had a person like Bert as one of its members. A real tribute to his family and to his club, Wolverhampton Wanderers, he will be sadly missed.
Bert Williams MBE. Thank you, and may you Rest in Peace

More players like Bert Williams are needed in the game today. He was loyal, dedicated and so passionate about the future of Wolves' keepers. A true gentlemen who also helped in the fight against Alzheimer's. He will always be remembered... /\_/\

Dear Friends,
So sorry to learn that the one and only Bert Williams had passed away.
He was one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, and a wonderful sportsman.
I live in the West Country, but we had friends in Coseley whom we used to visit in the forties, and I always managed to get over to Molineux to see the mighty Wolves in action, led by the incomparable Billy Wright.
Then in 1954, whilst on National Service, I was stationed at RAF. Hednesford for five months (January to May), and was privileged to see all the home matches (except one , when I was confined to the sick bay with German Measles) culminating in the win over Spurs to clinch the First Division Championship.
Happy days in which Bert figured so prominently in the voracious Wolves team.
Like the marvellous Tom Finney, Bert had a delightfully long life, but he will be sadly missed by his family and friends. I had some correspondence with him some years ago when I reminded him that he had saved the mighty Wolves from defeat at Plymouth in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup in January 1950. I was there, roaring Argyle on to a victory which they would have thoroughly deserved, but for the class act in the visitors' goal. I even sent Bert a copy of the programme of that game in which he had featured so prominently.
Bert played in a different era to the modern overpaid "stars", but I loved every minute of the "Golden Era", and must confess that I have not been to a professional soccer match for 30 years, and I don't watch soccer on the television, preferring to support my grandson with his local boys team.
Names like Stan Matthews, Wilf Manion, Frank Swift, Johnny Hancocks, Jimmy Mullen, Nat Lofthouse and the greatest centre forward of all time, Tommy Lawton, roll off the tongue like butter, but I could fill a page with similar names.
Rest in peace, Bert! You ranked alongside them all.
Yours sincerely
Brian Searle
Bert, I never saw you play, but you are the epitome of the word legend. R.I.P
Gavin Smith
The world has lost a true gentleman and a legend. I bought my first goalkeeper's sweater from him personally at his shop in Wolverhampton. His attitude taught me a lesson for life and has acted as a permanent guideline. I owe him a lot. We will always remember him, alongside Billy Wright, as a soccer star that was matchless both on and off the pitch.
Sleep well. Never to be forgotten.
Jim Yeomans

Bert Williams set a high standard for those that have followed in his footsteps. Unlike most of today's fans I had the pleasure of watching Bert in the early 50's. He will be sadly missed by his family, his club and fans. R.I.P. Bert and thanks for the wonderful memories.

Now resident in New Zealand
Bert was a boyhood hero of mine and his move from Walsall to Wolves resulted in me becoming a lifelong Wolves supporter. I got to know Bert very well as he used to come and train us as apprentices at FH Lloyd. Thank you Bert for many hours of pleasure.
Roy Evans
RIP to the great man that was Bert Williams. As I am a lifelong fan and current season ticket holder at Walsall FC I had the pleasure of meeting him last season with the FA Cup. Bert started his career playing for Walsall back in 1937 and my Grandad spoke highly of the player so it was nice to meet not only a Wolves and England Legend but a legend at my beloved Walsall FC as well. I hope that both Wolves and Walsall pay a bit tribute to him in due course as it is the least he deserves.
Kind Regards
Simon Allen
A truly great Wolves Legend in every way. I remember my Uncle taking me to my first game at Molineux in 1949and getting my first view as an 8 year old of "The Cat".
Later my Uncle became friends with Bert and before leaving to work abroad in the early 60s with Goodyear, he received many match tickets from Bert including some of the great International games he took part in as England keeper. He later became a Season Ticket holder in the old Molineux Stand above the old Alphabetical scoreboard where I could be found in the mid 50s at reserve games when my Uncle did not attend.
Standing on the North Bank watching all those great names perform in front of me was an honour right up to this day. A wonderful team the likes of which Molineux will never see again with the country's leading goalkeeper of that day.
Many wonderful memories from that era at Molineux – and I am still a Season Ticket holder today. Forever Wolves.
Sincere Condolences to Bert's Family.
Tony Bibb
Never met him but know people who have. Heard he was a true gentleman and I'm honoured to say he played for Wolves. Condolences to his family and loved ones. See you Saturday before the game, See how much that man meant to our club & country. Rest In Peace.
Jack Painter
So sad to hear of Bert's passing ,he was and always will be wolves best ever keeper . I watched him in the 1950's when Wolves and Bert topped the world. He will be missed....Wolves forever.
John Aston
I wish to add my condolences to all those expressed by fellow Wolves' supporters to Bert's family and friends. Newly arrived in Wolverhampton aged 10, I first watched Bert in action in 1951. From then onwards, I was a regular at Molineux throughout the rest of Bert's career. Even now, at the age of 72, I can relive quite vividly watching and marvelling at Bert's acrobatic cat-like saves and his majestic dominance of the goal area. I was too late on the Wolverhampton scene for the 1949 Cup Final, but I was there for the First Division titles and the floodlit games. They were indeed golden years that we older Wolves' fans cannot help but look back to with nostalgia - a time when Wolves were truly one of the best teams in the world. Bert was a vital part of that team - as he was for England for around 30 occasions. Bert was a great goalkeeper and I am proud as a Wolves' supporter that he was "ours" and that I got to see him play so often. Rest in Peace, Bert, and thank you for all the wonderful memories and for what you achieved for us - and England. K. Fletcher.
Thank goodness that I was present at the Wolves matches in the glorious fifties. What a pleasure also to have been in the presence of greatness in the name of Bert Williams. A master at his trade and a truly wonderful example to today's overpaid and under talented players. He truly was a legend.
Mike Eagle
Really sad to learn of the death today of Bert Williams. Such an elegant, brave and agile goalkeeper for Club and Country who performed heroics in goal in an era when 'keepers were afforded little protection by referees. I shall always remember Bert so fondly for being part of the Wolves sides in the 1950's, the heart and backbone of the team who so captivated my imagination and enthusiasm for my Club, a love affair that continues to this day. More recently, I have had the immense pleasure of meeting Bert on a couple of occasions at Molineux, and been touched by his humility, and his affection and enthusiasm for Wolverhampton Wanderers. Bert Williams, a true legend, a true Gentleman. RIP

Bert was a legend in football,not only a great player but also a great human being.A perfect example how players in the game today should respect one another and all others not only in football.

Bert will be sadly missed - he was a legend for Wolves and England, a true gentlemen who always had time to stop and chat loved by all.
Lyn Colley
*Please accept my profound sympathies on the passing of Bert. As a Kentish-based Wolves supporter who as a schoolboy used to travel with the London based supporters to home games to see the likes of Knowles, Dougan, Waggy and the rest, I never saw Bert play but am so aware of the part he played in Wolves' history.
My heart is with my late Mother who came from Lower Gornal and rests there with her family - this is where my connection with Wolves began.
Mick Baker
Very sad news. Bert was a great goalkeeper, a great ambassador for Wolves and a gentleman who always had time for the younger players and supporters. RIP
Rob Cartwright
A great footballer of his time our condolences for you loss.
Janice Higgs
I would just like to say what a nice bloke Bert was. I work for Staples in Telford, where Bert used to come in and have copies of his pictures that people had sent him & news cuttings that people had sent him done. He used to have some great stories to tell about his past. I think my favourite was when Bert was visited by the great Pele at his home.
RIP Bert
Nick Jones
While I am too young to have ever seen Bert Williams play, my overriding memory of him comes from Matt Murray's testimonial game. I was outside the front of Molineux meeting the various 'stars' who were taking part in the Allstars team, when a car pulled up right outside the main entrance in the Billy Wright. Bert Williams got out with a few members of his family & walked round to meet all the fans. There were several people trying to get Bert to go inside & take a seat but he insisted on meeting, speaking to, posing for pictures with & signing autographs for everyone who was trying to get his attention. He received probably the best reception of anyone that came through that day, and he was so kind to everyone that wanted a bit of his time. I wish I had seen Bert Williams play for Wolves, but growing up as a fan & learning my history of the club, I am honoured that such a legend, and gentleman was such a big part of my beloved club. He will be very sadly missed.
Lisa Camm
In my late father's eyes the greatest Wolves goalkeeper bar none. If my father says that then that is good enough for me. Once met him at the cricket centre in Bilston. A lovely man, so kind. He even bowled to me - a great thrill. Rest in peace.
Bert Willams Was a great legend that will always be remembered. His great attitude, on and off the pitch, and a great role model for anyone. All the best to his family and friends through this time - he will always be looking over you now forever.

Justin's Announces a Voluntary Limited Recall of Certain Lots of Classic Peanut Butter 16oz Jars and Honey Peanut Butter 1.15oz and .5oz Squeeze Packs Due to Possible Health Risk
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - September 26, 2012 - Justin's today announced a voluntary recall of certain lots of its Classic Peanut Butter 16oz jars and Honey Peanut Butter 1.15oz and .5oz single-serve squeeze packs (see associated Best By dates below). This voluntary recall is in response to Sunland Inc. voluntarily recalling nut butter products. For more information on the Sunland recall, please see the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's website (www.fda.gov) or read Sunland's official statement at: http://www.sunlandinc.com/788/html/pdfs/SunlandRecall.pdf .
The below lots of Justin's Classic Peanut Butter 16oz jars and Honey Peanut Butter 1.15oz and .5oz single-serve squeeze packs are being voluntarily recalled because peanuts used in the production of these identified products have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
No Justin's almond butter, hazelnut butter, peanut butter cups or candy bars are involved in this recall. These products were manufactured using nuts not sourced from Sunland Inc.
Justin's was just notified by our contract manufacturer, Fresca Foods, Inc. located in Louisville, CO that Sunland peanuts were used in production of certain peanut butter products in the past, therefore Justin's is voluntarily participating in the recall.
The products were distributed nationally to numerous supermarket chains and were available for purchase on the internet from 7/14/12 to 9/26/12.
The specifics of the affected products are as follows:
|Product Description

Saving the Bay through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration.

By Loren Barnett AppelPublished in the Fall 2010 issue of Save The Bay magazine
Connections. They shape our watershed. Streams to rivers to Bay. Sunlight to underwater grasses to habitat. Zooplankton to forage fish to shorebird. Some are good; some are bad. Fertlizer to algae to deadzones. Development to sediment to smothered oysters. We think often of those man-made connections doing harm to the natural ones. And we spend a lot of effort trying to replace what man has taken away: trees, grasses, oysters. About 350 years ago, Augustine Herman, a Dutch mapmaker, had a crazy idea: Dig a canal—a short cut—connecting the top of the Bay to the Delaware River. It seemed impossible at the time, but human perserverence reigned. Today, the manmade Chesapeake and Delaware Canal reduces travel time for cargo ships, and in the process, saves over 40 million gallons of fuel oil per year. Not a bad outcome.

LENGTH: Approximately 14 miles.
WIDTH: Approximately 450 feet.
DEPTH: Minimum of 35 feet.
TIDAL FLOW: Chesapeake side is 1.5 feet higher. Tidal change is about 3 feet.
TRAFFIC: The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal is the busiest in the world with about 15,000 crossings per year. Forty percent of traffic to the Port of Baltimore passes through the canal.
BRIDGES: Six bridges cross the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. All but one are owned and maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Norfolk Southern Bridge is owned by the railroad. Each bridge has a minimum height of 136 feet (when railroad bridge is raised). From west to east:
It was not without years of effort, however.
Dutch envoy Augustine Herman, in the mid-1600s, was the first to suggest that a canal joining the upper Bay and Delaware River would reduce the length of water travel from Philadelphia to Baltimore by almost 300 miles. It was about a hundred years later before the first surveys were done—and decades more before any solid plans were made.
In 1802, after prodding by prominent Philadelphians Benjamin Franklin and Benjamin Rush, the legislatures of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware incorporated the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Company. More surveys were completed and ground was broken in 1804. Work was halted just two years later due to lack of funds.
In 1822, the canal company was reorganized. The cost to complete the canal was estimated at $2 million dollars. Monies were raised through the sale of stocks. Contributing were the federal government ($150,000), Pennsylvania ($100,000), Maryland ($50,000), and Delaware ($25,000). Public contributions made up the balance.
Construction resumed in 1824. Labor was intense. Thousands of men worked picks and shovels for an average daily wage of 75¢. Five years later, the canal—then 10 feet deep and 66 feet wide—was open for travel.
Several locks were used to compensate for water-level changes. Mules and horses towed barges and other vessels through the canal carrying everyday supplies from lumber to grain.
Passengers also traveled the canal. The Ericcson Line (a cruise line servicing Philadelphia and Baltimore) became hot competition for railroad travel until the 1940s.
When steam power became common in the 19th century and boats became larger and unable to navigate the locks, canal traffic declined. President Theodore Roosevelt took notice and appointed a commission to study the feasibility of converting the canal to a "free and open" waterway.
The canal became "sea level" after the elimination of the locks in 1927. Today the 35-footdeep, 450-foot-wide canal and non-railroad bridges are owned and maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
My daughter Helen and I traveled to Chesapeake City, Maryland, (on the west end of the canal) earlier this year. The town is charming, hugging the canal with lots of pretty Victorian "painted ladies," boutiques, restaurants, and inns.
In the morning we wandered through the nearby Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Museum. The self-guided tour includes plenty of old photographs, information on the history of the canal, a monitor showing realtime locations of the ships passing through, the original pump house waterwheel and engines, and a small working lock.
Next to the museum, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers office is home to the main control center for the canal. We were welcomed by Resident Engineer James Tomlin, Jr., who has served at this post for 25 years. He was pleased to talk about his canal, the yearly maintenance dredging, the tidal flow, the mildly brackish water, and where we should grab lunch.
Almost as an afterthought, he asked us if we'd like to see the control room. Helen's eyes lit up. Neither of us was disappointed. On duty as Marine Traffic Controller was ex-Navy submariner Joseph Brennan (one of five controllers who cover continuous shifts). Joseph was perched in a long room of windows paralleling the canal. In front of him was a row of live images from the 29 monitoring cameras positioned along the waterway. Another tower with GPS is located on the Delaware side. Data, including real-time water depth and bridge height, are transferred with fiber optics.
Helen, especially, had many questions for Joseph. We learned that fog shuts down the canal and that ice is "tricky," requiring cutters to precede convoys of boats. Joseph's favorite ship, the Proof Gallon, a huge vessel filled with rum had not come through since 1997, but was still on his mind.
I asked Joseph what made a bad day on the canal. "An accident," was his answer. Luckily, they are few and far between. "Mostly," he said, "I watch the seasons change and the water go by."
His job didn't appear so laid back to us. Joseph was constantly watching the comings and goings of canal traffic on a monitor and stopping now and then to speak to ship captains.
After our visit, Helen and I traveled down the canal maintenance road heading east. We stopped at the Summit Bridge which crosses the canal near the border of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Local legend says that water sent over the east side of the bridge will flow to the Delaware River—and that water sent over the west side will travel to the Chesapeake. We laughed aloud at the thought, giddy from the wonder of this man-made marvel and the warmth of a special day together.
It was the perfect spot to end our adventure: in the middle of a great connection.

Cold Case Wis.: Investigators, community wonder who killed 'Baby Valentine'
Fast-food workers found dead infant in dumpster in 1982
BELOIT, Wis. - About this time of year more than 30 years ago fast-food workers in Beloit found a baby in a dumpster. The little girl's death has weighed heavily on the community and investigators said they need help solving the cold case.
The baby girl was only alive a short time, but she made a long-lasting impact on a lot of people.
Police said her parents never came forward, but a community did and gave the little girl they call 'Baby Valentine' a proper goodbye.
"I just had to do something," Beloit resident Tami Robson said. "It was so sad; you could just feel the overall loss of a baby we didn't even know."
Robson, who was 22 years old at the time, mourned a life lost too soon, along with her entire town.
"It just had to tear the community apart that something like this would happen," Beloit police Detective John Fahrney said.
Two days before Valentine's Day in 1982, at Milwaukee Road and Interstate 90, some McDonald's employees had a startling sighting.
"The McDonald's workers went out to empty the trash, and when they opened the dumpster they saw a small baby's arm reaching through a plastic bag," Fahrney said.
The 5-pound Caucasian girl lived about 10 hours, Farhney said. Her mother may have given birth in one of the hotels nearby.
"This whole winter has been reminiscent of that day basically," Fahrney said. "I mean, it's been cold."
So cold that her grave site at East Lawn Cemetery is frozen over.
"A group of citizens from Beloit collected enough money to get a headstone," Fahrney said.
The headstone is shaped like a heart in honor of the holiday, and the dress she was buried in was handmade by the coroner's wife for a funeral strangers showed up to, according to a newspaper report of the funeral.
"He did some readings and then we all did some prayers for her," said Robson, who attended Baby Valentine's funeral. She wasn't yet a mother, but had the same instinct nonetheless.
"Our mom just up and left us for me to watch these kids and I was only 14," said Robson, who raised all of her siblings. She refused to let them grow up alone and she hopes Baby Valentine hasn't felt alone either.
"I like to go back at least once a year and bring her some flowers or a teddy bear," Robson said.
While the case captivated a lot of attention, investigators got few tips in the beginning. Now Fahrney hopes someone comes forward to help put the case to rest.
"If somebody would just be willing to call and say, 'This is who the mother was, this is what happened,' anonymously through Crime Stoppers, that's all we're asking for," said Fahrney, who's sure the baby's mother is from Beloit.
He said the baby was wrapped in a bread bag from the former local grocery store, The Food Basket. The State Crime Lab is processing fingerprints.
Fahrney is also tracking down the couple who rented a room at one of those nearby hotels in 1982. During their investigation police found bloody sheets, but a doctor ruled the woman that rented the room where the sheets were found wasn't pregnant when Baby Valentine was born. Fahrney wants to test her DNA with new technology.
Officials ask if you know anything about Baby Valentine's case to call Beloit Area Crime Stoppers at 608-362-7463.

So I'm finding that I'm going day to day thinking "I should put something in my diary, but I lead a boring life" ;)
Have spent far too much time working lately (paid, real work - as opposed to the fun free Moebius-stuff). Although, have also been spending lots more time outside - our apricot trees are coming into fruit, so between watching the birds eat half of them and trying to grab some ourselves, it's kinda fun.
Realising slowly that all the people I see in day-to-day life probably read advogato - *waves*. Sad indictment of a life, or well-chosen group of friends? Not sure...
People are talking about using Moebius for "real" things - one for a mud, another for a fully-fledged community-type project - which is cool, but scary. Lots of work needed to bring it up to speed - smooth off the rough performance corners I left to get things conceptually right. Should be a good excuse to spend more time on it, anyway.
And the usual feature-creep on main paid project - I've been trying to read XP pages, to see if there's any tips in there for managing this sort of work. Client has so far set a Version 1.0 list of features three times in the past 6 months, we've met it twice. This time around, there's not even the pretense of sticking to the list - new features daily. *sigh* Still can't decide whether it's a good thing or not. Explains why my views on project management are so twisted tho - ISP-related work doesn't give itself time for structured management, which is probably bad - I've never worked to a spec that didn't change, or worked with enough resource to-hand to meet deadlines etc. Ah well.
Oh, got the compost bin working too - thanks pjf/jacinta ;) Renewed my interest in actually doing stuff(tm) to the garden - rip up all the daisies the owner loves so much, replace them with something more productive, would be a good start. Being outside definately makes me more productive when I come back in.

Veteran tornado scientist Tim Samaras, his son, environmental photographer Paul Samaras, 24, and meteorologist Carl Young, 45, died while chasing Friday's EF-3 tornado in El Reno, Oklahoma. The tornado killed at least nine people, in total. "Thank you to everyone for the condolences. It truly is sad that we lost my great brother Tim and his great son, Paul," said the brother of Tim Samaras, Jim Samaras, on Tim's Facebook page. "They all unfortunately passed away but doing what they LOVED." Tim, his son Paul, and Carl Young were all featured chasers on the Discovery Channel's series, Storm Chasers, and Tim was known throughout the chase community as a conscientious and safety-minded chaser. Carl Young, who holds a Masters degree in meteorology from the University of Nevada, joined Samaras in the field in 2003. According to his Discovery Channel biography, Young and Samaras chased over 125 tornadoes together: "Carl's finest moment came on June 11, 2004 near Storm Lake, Iowa. Working with Tim, they defied the odds and deployed their probes right in the path of a tornado. The six-camera video probe captured amazing footage from multiple angles while the sensor probe recorded data that revealed just how fast wind speeds are close to the ground."

Tornado science loses a pioneer
Tim Samaras had been a tornado scientist for over 25 years. He was the founder of TWISTEX, the Tactical Weather Instrumented Sampling in Tornadoes Experiment, a 2011 field experiment designed to help learn more about tornadoes and increase lead time for warnings, which resulted in many peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. One of Tim Samaras' most widely recognized contributions to tornado science is his placement of an aerodynamically-designed probe in the path of an EF-4 tornado near Manchester, South Dakota on June 24, 2003. The probe measured a world-record pressure fall of 100 mb over a 40 second period.
One of the publications from the TWISTEX program, "Near-Ground Pressure and Wind Measurements in Tornadoes" recounts this close call Tim had in a tornado in 2011: "As the storm approached, the crew noted that the supercell was moving more sharply to the right of its former course, placing them near the projected path of the low-level mesocyclone. The crew drove south on Highway 259, attempting to position south of the low-level mesocyclone before it crossed the highway. With considerable tree cover in this region hampering the visual observation of the storm's features, TWISTEX crews could not position south of the mesocyclone on Highway 259 before the mesocyclone reached this road. Thus, the two mobile mesonet stations, M2 and M3, had an unplanned tornado encounter with a developing tornadic circulation while the mesonet was traveling south on Highway 259."
Figure 3. One of Tim Samaras' most widely recognized contributions to tornado science is his placement of an aerodynamically-designed probe in the path of an EF-4 tornado near Manchester, South Dakota on June 24, 2003. The probe measured a world-record pressure fall of 100 mb over a 40 second period. See the NWS article and conference paper on the event. Thanks to wunderground member Scott Lincoln for this link.
A storm chasers' nightmare
Cars and tornadoes can prove a dangerous mix even for the world's most experienced storm chasers. Driving at high speeds though heavy rain, large hail, and high winds is hazardous. If one is lucky enough to chase down a tornado, even the most experienced chasers can find themselves in a serious life-threatening situation when unexpected events occur. The exact circumstances of the deaths of Tim Samaras and his team are not clear, but the El Reno tornado was an extremely dangerous one to chase. Tornadoes by their nature are unpredictable, and can change course unexpectedly, or pop up suddenly. It's particularly dangerous when a tornado is wrapped in rain, making it hard to see, or if a chaser is operating in a heavily populated area, where roads may suddenly become congested. All four of these conditions occurred Friday during the El Reno tornado. The El Reno tornado was wrapped in rain and difficult to see as it headed west towards Oklahoma City, and suddenly made a jog to the southeast as a Weather Channel team led by Mike Bettes was attempting to get in front of the storm, and the tornado lifted their vehicle off the ground, rolled it multiple times, and hurled it 200 yards into a nearby field. Austin Anderson was driving the Tornado Hunt vehicle, and suffered several broken bones and was hospitalized. Although Austin will have to undergo surgery in the next few days, doctors say he is expected to make a full recovery. StormChasingVideo.com storm chaser Brandon Sullivan and his chase partner Brett Wright got caught in the tornado northwest of Union City, OK and slammed with debris as the tornado hit a barn that exploded in front of them. Meteorologist Emily Sutton and storm chaser Kevin Josefy of local Oklahoma City TV station KFOR also had a very close call with the El Reno tornado Friday afternoon. They got too close to the tornado, and were forced to floor the car in reverse to escape flying debris. With branches of trees crashing around them, Sutton began feeling debris hitting her back, and realized that the rear windshield of the car must have gotten destroyed. Both were uninjured. Reed Timmer's armor-plated "Dominator" chase vehicle had its hood torn off by the tornado. Wunderground member Levi32 was out storm chasing during the El Reno Tornado, and got stuck in traffic on Highway 4 and couldn't move. "We looked up above the car and saw the wall cloud over top of us, with very quick rotation and rising scud indicating the updraft. We were definitely too close."

Tornadoes and cars: a dangerous mix
A vehicle is about the worst place you can be in a tornado, as the tornado's winds can easily roll a car. (The only place less safe is probably a mobile home, as a tornado's winds can roll mobile homes almost as readily, and mobile homes don't come with seat belts and air bags.) At least five of the deaths in Friday's El Reno tornado occurred in vehicles. There was one local TV station that urged residents without underground shelters to get in their cars and "get south" in advance of the tornado that was approaching Oklahoma City, since chasers were reporting that the El Reno tornado may have been so strong that only an underground shelter would have provided adequate protection. This terrible piece of advice likely contributed to the incredible traffic jams that we saw on I-35, I-40, I-44, and other local roads Friday night. Thousands of cars were bumper-to-bumper on the roads as a dangerous tornado approached them. Had the El Reno tornado plowed directly down one of these car-choked interstates, the death toll could have easily exceeded 500. If you are located in a metro area and don't have an underground shelter, the best thing to do it to take shelter in an interior windowless room or hallway, with protective furniture over your body. Getting in a car and attempting to flee the tornado is the worst thing you can do in an urban area. You may not be able to see the tornado if it is dark or the tornado is wrapped in rain. You are likely to encounter hazardous winds, rain, and hail, run into unexpected traffic, or flooded or debris-blocked roads that will put you directly in the path of the tornado. Even without an underground shelter, most people will be able to survive a dangerous EF-4 tornado. Case in point: during the Mannsford, Oklahoma EF- 4 tornado of 1984, a packed church received a direct hit, and everyone in the church survived. The only fatality was a man who drove to the church to get his wife. It is often better to abandon your vehicle and take shelter in a ditch, if you are caught in a car during a tornado. However, if there is already flying debris in the air, leaving your car and exposing yourself to the debris in order to get to a ditch may be more hazardous than staying in your car. Furthermore, ditches are prone to flash floods. Four deaths during the El Reno tornado were from a family of seven that sheltered in a drainage ditch, and were washed into the Deep Fork River by a flash flood. Searchers are still looking for the other three bodies. A 2002 research paper, "UNSAFE AT ANY (WIND) SPEED? Testing the Stability of Motor Vehicles in Severe Winds" found that: "The stability and superior safety of being in a vehicle in severe winds, relative to occupying a mobile home or being outdoors, should be considered." Also, TWC's severe weather expert, Dr. Greg Forbes, commented on the pros and cons of abandoning one's vehicle for a ditch in a 2009 blog post, "Tornado Safety - Cars Versus Ditches: A Controversy." His personal take on what he would do if his car was being overtaken by a tornado, and no sturdy buildings were nearby to take shelter in: "I can't see myself getting out of the vehicle. I'd try first to drive away from the tornado. Both the NWS and the American Red Cross actually also advocate this. If you can determine which way the tornado is moving toward, face your body toward that direction and then go to the right, as shown in the diagram below. That is usually toward the south or southeast. The reason that it's best to head this way is that if you went to the left you would normally get into the region where largest hail and blinding rain occur in the kind of supercell, rotating thunderstorms that often spawn tornadoes. If I had no such driving option and I did feel the urge to get out of my car, I'd try to get into a building, and into a ditch well away from the car as the last resort."
My condolences and prayers go to all of the family and friends of Tim Samaras, Paul Samaras, and Carl Young. Their deaths are a terrible shock to the meteorological community, and a great loss for tornado science. I hope that their deaths will lead towards safer tornado chasing, and help spur efforts to use emerging drone technology to take measurements in dangerous storms such as tornadoes and hurricanes.

William "Bill" Koach, 01/2014I have been very fortunate to be part of the HumanaVitality wellness program. I have won the Maintain, Don't Gain Holiday challenge, The Biggest Winner challenge, and have earned the bragging rights! I could not have done it without Wellness Coordinator Lisa Wright and Nutritionist Michelle Stewart. They provide great inspiration and guidance; I remember them telling me to focus on eating properly, exercising, and being mindful of what I eat. Minutes later, I walked by a big bowl of tootsie rolls and I kid you not! The tootsie rolls were calling me over! I heard Lisa and Michelle's instructions in my head.
I could not believe it when I won! I really wanted to win that bike so badly. Lisa advised me to concentrate on eating clean and walking more each day. For a week and a half, I had boneless, skinless chicken breasts with a healthy salad. The pounds just fell off! I thought to myself, at that time, that there must be something to this. My hard work is paying off!
I created a nickname for Lisa and Michelle, the Ladies of Diet Discipline. Rest assured, there is not enough paper in this world to express the accolades these ladies deserve.

No Way You're Getting Me In The Water!

That's OK. They'll Come To You
When people get into conversations about the biggest and scariest, you'll hear about sharks and spiders, maybe killer whales, giant squid, tigers, even elephants. But you're in an interesting crowd if someone brings up eurypterids, also known as sea scorpions. Not everyone knows about them, but most everyone who does has a healthy respect for them, if not abject fear. Why you may ask? Well, watch this clip.

Now that you've seen the fancy animation. Here's some more info on them.

Head Scratchers
Use the resources below to answer the following questions:
- How big could Eurypterids grow? How does that compare to other known arthropods? Does this relationship surprise you? Why or why not?
- When did Eurypterids go extinct? What other animals went extinct at this time? Are you glad Eurypterids went extinct? Why or why not?
- Eurypterids are related to horseshoe crabs which crawl into the high tidal zone to lay their eggs. Do you think the tracks found of eurypterids could be caused by the same behavior? Why or why not? What kinds of evidence would you look for to check your hypothesis? Where would you look for this information?

Term: N.D.E.
Near Death Experience: A phrase coined by Dr. Raymond Moody to describe the experiences reported by people who clinically die (or come very close to death) and are then revived. Only a small percentage of people who are revived report having such experiences. Although the most well known of such experiences includes "moving toward the light" at the end of a tunnel and being welcomed by deceased relatives or spiritual beings, other less than positive experiences have been reported, too.Donald Michael Kraig
Near Death Experience:
People near death, and sometimes those who have been resuscitated after dying, report common experiences of peacefulness followed by separation from the body. At first there is darkness then seeing a source of light and moving into the light, sometimes through a tunnel. At this point, many turn or are turned to move back into the body. Sometimes they see family and friends, and other times a "presence," who all advise that it is not yet the time for the person to pass over. Other times there may be a review of the lifetime and a decision made by the person to return to complete unfinished business. It is nearly always a very positive and transformative experience, giving the person a much greater appreciation of life.Carl Llewellyn Weschcke

The Return from the Market, 1738

French, 1699 - 1779
oil on canvas
46.7 x 37.5 cm
Purchased 1956
National Gallery of Canada (no. 6433)
Chardin's acute awareness of the nature of things endowed his representations of ordinary objects with a serenity and timeless dignity that ultimately raised still-life painting to a new and respected plane. The same tender observation of everyday occurrences is evident in these two genre scenes. In "The Return from the Market", the housekeeper deposits bread and a leg of lamb in the pantry while listening in on the conversation at the open door. Likewise, in "The Governess", beyond the door another world awaits the young boy, listening thoughtfully, his lesson books in hand and his toys abandoned on the floor.

|Introduction by artist
|A Producer's Note Before embarking upon these recordings of Mozart's complete duo music for piano and violin, my experience of many of these works was as a typical post-war listener. That is to say, these were sonatas for violin and these should be performed only one at a time, usually as a good way to limber up the bowing arm and lubricate the fingers before the serious recital 'material' began. The journey of a producer in such a project - apart from all the generic responsibilities of supervising the sessions, ensuring all the music is covered and choosing the 'takes' which constitute the final product - involves regularly questioning the underlying motivation for wanting to communicate these pieces in a certain way. Both Gary Cooper and Rachel Podger have discovered a particular essence in this music, which has illuminated our understanding of the genre in Mozart's hands. For this reason, this is a radical series. For some, it may lack a tradition of the kind of structured and cultured elan which Szymon Goldberg and Radu Lupu perpetuated (produced by that wonderful Decca doyen of the dark art, Christopher Raeburn) but for others it will lift the dialogue and characterisation onto new and irradiating levels. Of course, each volume has its own narrative and how brilliantly Gary has managed to programme early (some very early!), middle and late sonatas in ways which allow one to understand Mozart's various ploys and distinctive ambitions in this music. In an ideally balanced oeuvre, one wishes there were another three big mid-to-late works. Yet what this series has done is highlight the care Mozart took in the refinement of sonatas or variations 'to order'- a touching insight into awareness of capability, perhaps individual characters of performers, and that delectable turn of domestic tenderness which these pieces often exhibit. These two players bring these intimacies to bear wonderfully and, as producer, I had great fun working with them to find the shifting moods in music whose unpretentiousness belies the supreme quality of most of these works. Indeed, some of the sonata are far greater than I had imagined. If the piano sonatas (well, say the last ten) draw upon microcosms of allusion and reference to fellow instruments and their idioms (serenades and the like), then these 'high end' piano-violin sonatas take trips which almost exceed their bounds - think of those great long adagios. So, my lasting impression, having dissected every note of the music, is of a cornucopia of hidden gems; hidden because history has under-rated, misunderstood and bowdlerized the collective meaning of these works by assuming that it is an uneven genre - but then so are the symphonies and even the operas! Finally, one asks why there hasn't previously been a complete recording on historical instruments. From my 'privileged' position as listener-in-chief, I can tell you it is because no pair can make such transparent and difficult music sound so effortless, elegant, witty, emotionally persuasive and enjoyable.

|Throughout their immense survey of Mozart's sonatas for keyboard and violin, the first played on instruments of the period, Gary Cooper and Rachel Podger have been acclaimed for restoring Mozart's little-known works in the genre. That's an understatement. These penetrating players have reinvented the species, long ignored by recitalists or used as warm-up numbers. In the last two volumes of their survey, they continue lifting the veil, especially in the 1764 sonatas by the eight-year-old Mozart, where the duo add a cello (Alison McGillivray) and Cooper switches from fortepiano to harpsichord. Superlative.

"A fascinating collection of 'leftover' to conclude the Cooper/Podger series". Two cds: full of interest!
(…) Cooper plays a fine sounding Kirckman harpsichord, dating from the exact period of Mozart's English visit. With it he can make the most of the youthful virtuoso's ebullient keyboard invention (…)
(…) Cooper and Podger perform the variations with typical verve, the many repeated sections provide opportunities for ornamentation, especially in KV359, where Mozart obligingly indicates a pause-with the possibility of a mini cadenza-in each variation.
(…) It's impossible to ignore the individuality, vitality and commitment of their performances.

Hi all,
I was never really interested int he animated style stuff, save some interest in the planned Ashoka (because they said no realistic plans for her) and Plo Koon (cause the lightsaber gauntlet is just too damn cool) However, i picked up the target exclusive Commander Fox when I saw him. I personally like his armor design alot, and while I normally leave exclusives like that packaged, hes been fairly common around here so I was debating opening him and standing him with the rest of my collection.
However, I find myself wondering how he'll look up with the rest of my troopers, and thus was wondering if any of you fine folks out there have got and opened some of the clone wars clones, and could maybe provide some comparison pictures of them along with the reguar lines Clones. If I like how they mesh, I might even go grab a Rex figure.
Thanks a bunch for your time and attention,

The ruins of the great city of Hazor "the head of all those kingdoms" (Joshua 11:10) was the scene of Joshua's great victory over the Canaanites, and has become a symbol of the victory of the weak against the powerful. Overlooking the modern highway between the Sea of Galilee and Caesarea Philippi, Hazor, one of the most important cities in the ancient Near East, controlled the ancient highway as well. Visitors revel in the many remnants of Hazor's biblical past: the ramparts of Ahab, and his sophisticated water system, the gates of Solomon (1 Kings 9:15), the Israelite citadel, and a High Place from the time of the Judges. The recently discovered staircase connecting the upper and lower cities highlights the huge dimensions of the city, and a gorgeous Hula Valley setting is revealed from the doorway of the beautifully restored royal palace.
With all these historical riches, Hazor has certainly earned its place on UNESCO's prestigious list of World Heritage Sites.
