Awkwardness is Gogol's birthright. He grows up a bright American boy, goes to Yale, has pretty girlfriends, becomes a successful architect, but like many second-generation immigrants, he can never quite find his place in the world. There's a lovely section where he dates a wealthy, cultured young Manhattan woman who lives with her charming parents. They fold Gogol into their easy, elegant life, but even here he can find no peace and he breaks off the relationship. His mother finally sets him up on a blind date with the daughter of a Bengali friend, and Gogol thinks he has found his match. Moushumi, like Gogol, is at odds with the Indian-American world she inhabits. She has found, however, a circuitous escape: "At Brown, her rebellion had been academic ... she'd pursued a double major in French. Immersing herself in a third language, a third culture, had been her refuge--she approached French, unlike things American or Indian, without guilt, or misgiving, or expectation of any kind." Lahiri documents these quiet rebellions and random longings with great sensitivity. There's no cleverness or showing-off in The Namesake, just beautifully confident storytelling. Gogol's story is neither comedy nor tragedy; it's simply that ordinary, hard-to-get-down-on-paper commodity: real life. --Claire Dederer --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The Vampire Diaries Promos: A Focus on Familyby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
What the heck is in the locked coffin?!? This is likely the most pressing question on the minds of Vampire Diaries fans around the world.
Will we get an answer on next Thursday's "The Ties That Bind?" It's unlikely. But Bonnie will take a step closer to the reveal by tracking down her mother, as previewed in this photo gallery. Look for Elena and Bonnie to head out to Abby Bennett's farmhouse on the installment, coming across a dude named Jamie there who was taken in many years ago.
Elsewhere, Tyler will do all he can to regain his free will, while Damon wonders about this Dr. Fell person. Get psyched for the episode via two new trailers, the first from The CW and the second courtesy of Canada's CTV.
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: The Vampire Diaries, Promos
come on already with the supressing the feelings that Elena has. Who cares who the naked crap is with, he loves Elena soooooooooo
Elena should get jelous, grab Damon, and valla!! For new excitement on the show {HOW ABOUT THE DEVIL-AKA KLAUS! FALLS IN LOVE WITH CAROLINE}
what are they doing to my fav couple?????? :'(
so in love with this Stefan this season! nothing could stop him now, even Elena. totally out of control!
Look, Bonnie is a plot device again.
the canadian promo is so much better! Stefan and Ms Fell are taking down damon!! Seems like Damon becomes the new wuss aka Stefan 12 episodes ago! Bonnie's Mom is everything but a good girl, hope that takes Bonnie back to bitch mode from the end of season 1 and kicks some ass! And Bill please be hard on Tyler (not in the sexual way), make him suffer for being a biting scumbag! It's interesting in which direction they are taking the story!
Can't wait to see this episode it looks amazing and I can't wait to finally meet Bonnie's mom which should make the episode really awesome.
can't wait to see bonnie and her mom together.This coming episode looks interesting.
Thos episode did look like a little bit of fun! Action, that's what we need and btw it looked like Bonnie was actually having some problems, wow, a starter.
Hopefully this actually gives chance for Bonnie to SHINE as person and NOT as love interest or plot device. Also, why the hell is Elena here? Can't writers just keep her out of some stories or are they going to just throw her everywhere even if she does not fit into it?

Pharmacy Aligns With Hospitals to Reduce Readmissions
Pharmacy giant Walgreens announced a program Tuesday that it believes will help hospitals reduce readmissions by using pharmacists to coordinate patient care during admission and discharge.
Hospitals are under the gun to lower readmission rates since the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) started assessing financial penalties October 1.
At its core, Walgreen's program, called WellTransitions, lifts the burden of medicine reconciliation off of the patient, and off hospital staff. Exact details about medications are easy for patients to forget, and nurses need the information to do a proper workup, says Joel Wright, Vice President of Health Systems Operations for the retailer.
"When a patient is admitted, we would be brought in, and we would help provide medication history, rather than starting with a blank sheet of paper. You know, my dad went in and he's like, 'Well, I'm on a blue pill for my water.' So, this gives that nurse a starting point to have that conversation with the patient to really understand what that patient is on," says Wright.

Huge Snohomish County development plan to become park instead
- Staff Puget Sound Business Journal
A developer's plan to build 6,000 homes on the shores of Lake Roesiger in Snohomish County will instead become a future park because it's been purchased by the county and state in an $8 million deal.
The Herald in Everett reports that developer Dave Barnett's controversial Falcon Ridge plan for nearly 2,900 acres will instead be replaced by a county park and a state timberland area.

Choose a studio with a professional "floating floor". A floating floor is a dance floor that rests on a system of high-density foam, to absorb the shock of jumping. A high-density foam base is superior to a "sprung" floor, which usually consists of a wood structure built on the regular floor. At Culture Shock Dance Center, we have taken it a step further ...

will I ovulate with a 21 day cycle?
Comments (5)
First, it will take a couple of cycles for your body to regulate itself after stopping the pill. Second, yes you can ovulate with a short cycle, but the only way to know for sure if you O is to chart your temps every morning... this will also tell you if you're ovulating but having a too-short LP (after O before AF) which will cause problems with implantation.
Good luck!
R (31) DH (34), PIC since '06 with Phoenix the Dobie & Macchia the Dalmatian TTC #1 since 5/11, ^11/11, BFP 10/13
What she said above. Also, make sure youre taking prenatal vitamins and I would purchase a pack of ovulation sticks and start taking them right after AF ends. You might O very early-- or you can just have intercourse every 2 days. Good luck!!

Purpose: To evaluate the properties and suitability of a disease-specific questionnaire to assess parent-reported health-related quality of life (HRQL) of children and parents of children suffering from food hypersensitivity (FHS) or allergy to furred pets (AFP).
Methods: The parents of 202 children with FHS and of 131 children with AFP filled in questionnaires comprising the CHQ-PF28 and the Food-Pet-Allergy in Children (FPAC) Questionnaire. Psychometric properties of the FPAC questionnaire were evaluated separately for FHS and AFP.
Results: Analyses resulted in five proposed scales: Limitations of Family/Child Activities (I), Parents' Distress (II), Child's Emotions (III), Child in School (IV) and Family Conflicts (V). Convergent/discriminant validity for scales I, II and III of both questionnaires was high; for scale IV it was moderate. All five FHS and four AFP scales were able to distinguish significantly between children with and without clinical allergy symptoms (known-group validity). Internal consistency reliability was good for scales I, II and III, but poor for scale IV.
Conclusion: Three valid scales were determined for both FHS and AFP (Limitations of Family/Child Activities, Parents' Distress and Child's Emotions) and can be used in clinical research.

Why you can't hear Jet on an iPod
Unfortunately, iPod's in Australia are etchnically in breach of copyright if you copy CD's to them! Plus, iTunes music service is not available in Australia anytime soon.

I sincerely doubt any Aussies care that it is 'illegal' to rip and transfer a CD there.
So what do Aussie's use their iPods for? Listening to music! ;-) 'Illegally' imported, or illegally downloaded. Oh well.
BTW… it's "technically" :-D
Posted by azdude_15gb on November 25, 2003 at 5:53 PM (CST)
Just because the EMI CDs are copy protected doesn't mean I can't get the tracks onto my iPod. However more of concern is the lack of action in getting iTunes Music Store working in Australia, or Far East or whatever region we fall into. I know Europe is proving hard from the legal end, but surely it can't be that difficult for the Aussie record companies and Apple Aus to get their act together - granted our sales wuoldn't be as phenomenal but it's still revenue for Apple.

yin… how?
Do you have to let the EMI software install?(the autorun service that gets loaded)
Posted by timmo on November 25, 2003 at 6:31 PM (CST)
Actually, bcause of the tangled web of licensing, laws about importing physical media vs. digital data, copyrights…selling internationally can be a huge hassle and one that may require a lot of legal groundwork.
People should stop and think about that before they complain so loudly and vociferously.
Posted by stark23x on November 25, 2003 at 6:53 PM (CST)
I too have been able to get the Jet CD onto my ibook and subsequently my ipod. easy as a slut on heat. record companies should stop wasting their money on lame copy protection that can be beat in a matter of minutes. they should focus their time and money on (amongst other things) developing new music amd giving the rest of the world access to online music stores.
And it is a shame we Aussies don't have access to the itunes store. but i did hear a rumour a few months ago that we should have access in the next few months….anyone have any updates??

Oh well, I doubt it would stop anyone.
Posted by Adam on November 25, 2003 at 7:28 PM (CST)
well, this has enraged me both as an aussie and an ipod user. i bought my ipod in the u.s. live six months of the year in australia and the u.s. i'm not being locked up for transfering or d/ling music onto my 15g ipod. Hell, we don't even get the new inmotion speakers here, i had to get my friend to send it to me (and how sweet that is!) new john mayer cd, i bought it. copy protected, so what. still, it made it onto my ipod. I'm sure itunes will eventually make it to australia, until then it looks like i'm gonna have to listen to my 3000 songs and wait.

LOL!!!!! What a crock of shit. I can tell you right now that while the ITMS may not be in oz for a while Telstra and Bigpond have signed record companys up to offer a similar service to its customers. The reason being is that it will be part of the unmetered sites so it wont get added onto your month DL's AND they will premiere at around $1AUD. Copying music from one format to another is illigal in oz if you are not the original buyer HOWEVER you are BY LAW entitled to backup and DIGITAL encoding bought for PERSONAL USE. This includes music and Software.

You mean to tell me that Aussies have stupid laws that are tougher than we have in the US. That's hard to believe. Perhaps your lawyer population is growing.
PS: I don't even know who or what jet is. Aside from a mode of transportation that is.

Who would want to listen to a Jet song anyway? Just play Iggy Pop's Lust for Life while listening to a crying infant.

Examining Britain's Position On The Crisis In Syria
Originally published on Wed September 25, 2013 6:25 am
When President Obama chose diplomacy over military action in Syria, some feared that could actually bolster Assad. We posed that question earlier this morning to Britain's Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who led his country's delegation to the U. N. General Assembly. Clegg told us the threat of military strikes forced Assad's hand, and he said Britain and the U.S. will work to threaten military consequences in a U.N. resolution, even if the Russians are pressing hard against that.
DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER NICK CLEGG: My own view is that I don't think we would have got to the stage we are at now if there hadn't been the material threat of the use of force. So I do think you do need a hard edge to these things. Otherwise, things tend to drift, and people don't live up to the commitments they've made.
GREENE: And this led to a broader discussion with Nick Clegg about the position of countries like Britain and the U.S. in the world today.
There's a pretty amazing picture on the cover of this week's Economist magazine, this wistful-looking bandaged-up lion peering over a map at Syria, that the lion's fangs are floating in the glass that's supposed to look like dentures. And the cover reads: The Weakened West. What's your reaction to that?
CLEGG: I don't accept that. I don't think recent history suggests that the West is somehow toothless. We took international military action in Libya just very recently. But I think it's also worth reflecting that the reasons, for instance, in the United Kingdom why we ruled ourselves out of any possible military intervention, was because of democracy working. And you can't be, if you like, muscular in promoting your democratic values abroad if you don't live by those principles at home.
And, whilst yes, you know, parliaments, congresses sometimes do things that the executive and the government of the day doesn't want - that's democracy. And actually I think what would weaken the West much more considerably in the long run is if we started somehow abandoning the democratic principles which we espouse elsewhere in the world.
GREENE: You're saying that if the West is not weakened, we've at least reached a point where people in Britain, people in the United States, are not as supportive as they perhaps used to be, in terms of taking military action and, sort of, trying to intervene in countries abroad.
CLEGG: Well, it's clear that what happened 10 years ago in Iraq, that has certainly cast a very long shadow in the way that people feel about these things. And I totally, totally understand that. I totally understand the basic reflex of people which say, oh do we really need to get entangled in another intractable conflict in a distant land; we're not going to sort this out. And I completely recognize that and respect that. I think the issue that I would come back to is, having said all of that and understanding that caution, there is still this issue of a use of chemical weapons on a scale not seen for a very, very long period of time. So you have to balance the natural caution - which I entirely understand - against the precedent we would have set if we would have, in a sense, not lifted a finger to react to this terrible war crime happening on our watch.
GREENE: But if we accept this notion that people who live in Great Britain, people who live in the United States, are not as excited about their countries going to war and getting involved militarily in other places in the world, does that not send a message to, for example, the Syrian opposition and other groups like the Syrian opposition around the world, that countries like the United States and Britain aren't going to be coming to their rescue, or aren't as likely to as they were in the past?
CLEGG: Well, I would actually say that a certain degree of skepticism, being thoughtful and wary about taking military action is a perfectly healthy thing in a democracy. You don't want to just be trigger-happy; that has disastrous results itself. I don't think we should ever take military action lightly. So the fact that people ask questions, are skeptical, are cautious, is a totally natural thing, given what you're doing is talking about the deployment of force, and a military force. Having said all of that, I just don't buy this idea that these events mean that suddenly the West has become toothless. And I think recent experience, not least in Libya, suggests otherwise.
GREENE: Nick Clegg, let me just ask you about Iran for a moment. The Israelis, for example, very, very skeptical of following any diplomatic option for Iran. I mean anything right now that you see - whether it's Hasan Rouhani as new president or something else - that makes you see the window more open right now for diplomacy than a year ago?
CLEGG: Well, I certainly don't think it would be right for us to sort of just ignore that President Rouhani is striking a very different tone, appears to be reaching out. Of course, one needs to be - one always needs to be cautious. One speech, one change of tone doesn't change everything. But I think we would be unwise not to explore seriously what Iranian intentions are.
In a sense however, the ball quickly then returns to the Iranian court and they have to show that they are prepared to follow up words with actions. And that's what the next step of the diplomatic process is all going to be about.
GREENE: Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us.
CLEGG: Thank you.
GREENE: Nick Clegg is the deputy British prime minister and he is leading his country's delegation to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

|PIease Read Before Adopting a Horse in South Carolina
Horses can make good pets in South Carolina if they match your IifestyIe. Horses are beautiful, romantic animals that many people love. Sadly, however, horses are being neglected, abused, and abandoned at an alarming rate. The reasons a horse would need to be rescued are quite varied. Some horse owners in the Western U.S. have lost their homes and land to foreclosure, leaving nowhere for their horses to go. These horses are sometimes abandoned in the plains and deserts, where they often die of slow exposure. Droughts, rising food and fuel prices, and other economic pressures mean that some owners can no longer afford to feed and care for their horses. Other horses are purchased by inexperienced people for sentimental reasons or as gifts for children, but their owners are unprepared for the ongoing expense and involvement of caring for the horses.
Like horses, donkeys and mules (sterile hybrids of a horse and a donkey) have their own charm and usefulness. However, these animals have also been affected by hay shortages and some have sadly become victims of abuse or neglect.

trying to see the world with my ears
I love Laurie's audiobook narration, i love House and Bertie and Jeeves, etc. but can Laurie write on top of all that? Yes! This is silly in a few places, but laugh out loud funny in many others - and unlike me, Lauire doesn't need to fall back on cliches. This is cleverly plotted and well-wriiten, and is great comic relief if, like me, you read too many espionage or police procedurals.
Written and set pre 9/11 but after the first Gulf war, it's in the style of a "Wag the Dog" but original. More than make laughs, this novel makes a statement.
The listen was a little violent for my cozy tastes, with action and death and detail about the guns used, but it wasn't over the top. I suppose this would give the novel a wider appeal.
Prebble delivers his usual excellent narration. The only thing that could have made this a better listen would be narration by Laurie himself. Now that he's hung up the stethoscope, I hope he picks up a pen AND audiobook microphone again.
Although this is didactic Le Carre -- a cautionary tale of war and intelligence gone corporate -- it's also a very exciting listen. Le Carre's plot, prose, character, and dialogue are superior to any other espionage novelist I've encountered, and he's at his best when creating ethical dilemmas (though any including defense contractors and lobbyist-types are less morally ambiguous than in some of his classic novels!)
I loved loved loved being read to by Le Carre! The narration is actually excellent once your ear tunes into him, except for one questionable production choice, an incident of which pops up in the audio sample provided: A "handler" when on a telephone echoes like bad long distance circa cold war landlines. This is not characteristic of the listen as a whole, however.
As a novel this may not stand among Le Carre's finest, but as a contemporary espionage yarn it can't be beat. There are some now standard le Carre characters and political stances, but what delightful dialogue, character observation and sharp turns-of-phrases. Graham Greene would have loved this entertainment.
This novel reminds me of why I love reading. Having the author tell me the story and "turn his own phrase" and "bite" his own dialogue is icing.
Greene details the mundane, human workings (physical and psychological) of a small group of MI6 workers during the detente years of the Cold War. These civil servants "listen" to Southern Africa, including apartheid era South Africa. All have to some degree or none a personal life. The main character is married to a former "contact" he worked in a South Africa township.
The novel is very British in setting and tone. An antidote to James Bond fantasy, it doesn't have even the physical action/suspense of a Lecarre. But magnify Lecarre's intense characterization and psychological tension to come close to Greene's espionage. The psychological tension builds very slowly until the last third of the novel. It's not as politicized as Greene's Quiet American, but like that novel, it concerns morality and amorality of choice, as individuals and collectivities. Irony abounds.
Don't download this for "happily ever after" mindless escapism; however, it is an engrossing listen, and to my ears, one of the best narrated audiobooks I've heard.

Article: Analysis of Electret-Based MEMS Vibrational Energy Harvester With Slit-and-Slider Structure[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper describes an analysis and a performance limit of a vibrational energy harvester with a novel slit-and-slider structure. This structure has a separable electret and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) parts. In the MEMS parts, movable electrodes slide due to external vibration and receive electrical field that is periodically modulated by slits of fixed electrodes. The structure was fabricated based on MEMS technology and produced an ac current of 170 pA with an external vibration of amplitude of 1 m/s2 at a frequency of 1166 Hz. Since the structure is separable, individual characterization of the electret and movable electrodes was performed. On the basis of their quantitative analyses, a structural model was constructed and validated. The model showed a way to optimize structural and material parameters for enhancement of output power and predicted a performance limit of 2.5 × 10-3 μW and 6.1% as output power and harvester effectiveness, respectively. This value of effectiveness is comparable to that of conventional non-MEMS-based large energy harvester around 1 cm3, which indicates feasibility of MEMS-based small energy harvesters around 0.01 cm3 by appropriate designing.Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems 01/2012; 21(5):1218-1228. · 2.13 Impact Factor
Article: RF MEMS switches integrated with sealed suspended coplanar waveguides for reconfigurable RF circuits[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper describes an RF-MEMS switch structure and its fabrication process for developing low-loss multiport RF switches that integrate multiple RF MEMS switches and CMOS control circuits. In our structure, RF MEMS switches and coplanar waveguides are seamlessly integrated, and they are suspended above a CMOS LSI to reduce the loss due to the lossy Si substrate. A gold multilayer stacking technique was used to fabricate the structures, and the STP technique was used to seal them for damage-free packaging. Switching operation of RF MEMS switches was achieved and low insertion loss of 0.07 dB/mm at 5 GHz was obtained for the suspended coplanar waveguides.01/2011;
Article: A millimeter-sized electret-energy-harvester with microfabricated horizontal arrays and vertical protrusions for power generation enhancement[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper describes a millimeter-sized electret vibrational energy harvester fabricated by a MEMS-based process for power generation enhancement. To increase current generation, we developed a new "slit-and-slider" structure with horizontal arrays and vertical protrusions. This structure enables us to increase an area and to narrow a gap of energy conversion in the limited size. The structure was fabricated by gold-electroplating. A lower chip with a movable part and an upper chip with a fixed part were aligned by chip-on-chip mounting. The device resonated around 1430 Hz with an acceleration amplitude of 6 m/s 2 .

ABSTRACT: This is a brief report on the first observation of polarization features and the source region of MF/HF auroral radio emissions emanating from the topside ionosphere. These emissions are called "Terrestrial Hectometric Radiation (THR)" and regarded as a counterpart of auroral roar and MF burst which are observable from the ground. THR typically occurs in either or both of two frequency bands near 1.5–2.0 MHz and 3.0–4.0 MHz, whose polarization features correspond to the L-O and R-X mode. The R-X mode, which has never been reported as auroral roar and MF burst, can be attributed to nonlinear coupling of two upper hybrid waves. The Akebono satellite observation shows THR emissions merge with upper hybrid waves in a frequency-time diagram under the matching condition fUH ∼ 2fce. This observation suggests that plasma instability enhances the upper hybrid waves under this condition, and then they are converted into MF/HF auroral radio emissions.Geophysical Research Letters 07/2010; 37(14). · 3.98 Impact Factor
Conference Paper: Energy harvesting by MEMS vibrational devices with electrets[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper presents experimental proof of energy harvesting with MEMS-based vibrational devices. To clarify the effect of the coupling of vibration of MEMS devices and electrical field of electrets for current generation, a slit-and-slider structure was developed. This structure enables to combine the MEMS devices and electrets after their vibrational and electrical properties have been characterized separately. In the fabrication, the movable gold electrodes were released and then aligned by chip-on-chip mounting to face the fixed electrodes. A 1-mm-square electrode resonated around 1166 Hz with external vibration of a magnitude of acceleration of 1 m/s2. The surface and rear potentials of the electret were around -150 and +100 V, respectively. The coupling of the mechanical and electrical properties produced an AC current of 170 pA. The results pave the way to designing and fabricating small-sized vibrational energy harvesters.Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems Conference, 2009. TRANSDUCERS 2009.

ABSTRACT: Recent ground-based observations have detected MF auroral radio emissions called MF burst and auroral roar. It is interpreted that origin of both emissions is upper hybrid waves generated in the ionosphere by auroral electrons. Some theoretical studies [e.g. Weatherwax et al., 2002] have proposed that MF burst which has a broad band spectrum is generated at an altitude of few hundred kilometers over a wide altitude range while auroral roar is excited in altitudes where a condition of fuh ~ nfce (n=2, 3) is met, which leads to its narrow band spectrum. The polarization spectrum observation at the Husafell observatory in Iceland, which started in 2005, revealed the polarization characteristics of 3fce roar and the relationship with energy of precipitating electrons [Sato et al., 2008]. However, occurrence rate is low because the observation site is located in the auroral zone. We install a new instrument for MF auroral radio emissions at Longyearbyen in Svalbard. The observation at Longyearbyen has several advantages: higher occurrence rate can be expected in the polar cap region, and simultaneous observations with EISCAT Svalbard Radar (ESR) and other ground-based observations can be easily obtained. The instrument consists of two types of observation systems. One is designed for the continuous observation of spectrum in a frequency range below 6 MHz. The other is designed to obtain waveform data in a frequency range below 4 MHz by an A/D converter with a sampling speed of 10MSPS. By using the wave form data, the arrival direction angle of a received radio wave can be estimated. In this presentation, we will introduce the purpose of the observation and the detail of the instrument, and report some initial results.AGU Fall Meeting Abstracts. 12/2008;

ABSTRACT: In order to study the generation and propagation processes of the MF auroral radio emissions (auroral roar and MF burst), a radio spectrograph ststem was installed at Husafell in Iceland (invariant latitude: 65.3deg). Within the observation period since late 2006, several MF auroral radio emissions have been detected. Based on our observation results, the polarization character of the MF bursts was consistent to the previous result by Shepherd et al. [1997], and identified that 3fce roar is L-O mode wave. It is suggested that auroral roar appears during magnetic storm recovery phase while MF burst is associated with aurora breakup. We compared the 3fce roar detected on May 23, 2007 with auroral image observed by the Polar/UVI and auroral particle observed by the DMSP/SSJ4 in the southern hemisphere. These image data show that the auroral oval has multilayer structure and the Husafell station is located between enhanced layers. In a region with relatively low energy electrons' precipitation (several 100 eV), MF radio waves can propagate to the ground because there is weak ionization in the D and E regions. Therefore, it is suggested that the auroral roar is generated by low energy electrons precipitating near the observation site and propagates downward to the ground. To understand the mechanism, the energy spectrum of precipitating electrons is the key parameter not only for plasma instability but also for ionization of low altitude region. This observation result shows important evidence. On the hypothesis that the frequency of auroral roar coincides with harmonics of fce in the source region, the observation frequencies of 3.1-3.5 MHz correspond to the altitude range of 550-880 km, and electron density should be more than 105/c.c. in this altitude range. It is less likely to occur in the polar ionosphere. When we introduce alternative hypothesis that the plasma instability occurs at (n+1/2)fce ESCH waves, the estimated altitude of the source region becomes 250-350 km. Thus, we have to reexamine the proposed generation mechanism of the MF auroral radio emissions.AGU Fall Meeting Abstracts. 12/2007;

text: 000 FXUS66 KOTX 191216 AFDOTX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Spokane WA 414 AM PST FRI DEC 19 2014 .SYNOPSIS... A more active weather pattern will continue into early next week. Another weather system will bring snow to the mountains with mainly rain for the valleys tonight into Friday. A stronger storm Saturday into Sunday will bring mainly rain for the valleys...as well as mountain snow with rising snow levels. Temperatures are expected to remain above average through early next week...before dropping down towards normal values by Christmas Day. && .DISCUSSION... Today through Saturday night...This will be an active and very wet period as a pair of storm systems move through the forecast area. The first today followed by the second Saturday. This will result in measurable precipitation for all locations, with valley rain and mountain snow. For Today and Tonight a vigorous frontal system will move through the forecast. The warm over-running precipitation moved into the region last evening and satellite imagery shows the cold front moving onto the Cascades early this morning. This front will cross the Cascades around 12z and should be east into Montana by this afternoon. So expect drying from the west beginning near sunrise then traversing the forecast area through the day. Temperatures will be on the warm side with highs around 10 degrees above normal * Precipitation: Yes and for just about all locations. With an upper level jet paralleling the front and southerly low level flow early this morning even the normally shadowed out lower east slopes and deep basin will see measurable precipitation. As the cold front moves through the region later this morning the flow will shift the focus of the heaviest precipitation across the northern mountains and finally the Panhandle mountains this afternoon and this evening. Precipitation amounts will range from .10-.20 for the low lands with anywhere from .25-.50 for the mountains, and possibly as much as .75 near the crest of the Cascades. Some showers will linger across the Panhandle mountains this evening, otherwise there will be a brief break in the wet weather. * Precipitation type: Warm air advection and southerly flow will result in snow levels at or above 3-4k feet for valley rain and mountain snow. The area of concern will be for the Methow valley where the cooler air remains trapped, but even there temperatures are around freezing or a little more and any snow that falls will be wet. So a couple of inches for the Methow valley this morning and 3-6 inches for the mountains above 3-4k feet. ...A strong winter storm expected to result in heavy rain and mountain snow across the Northwest this weekend... Moving on to Saturday and Saturday night...this storm system is shaping up to be much wetter as the westerly flow will tap into an atmospheric river of very deep moisture. Model guidance has been pretty consistent the past several runs showing this moisture reaching the Cascades early Saturday morning and over-running the remainder of the region during the day Saturday. Isentropic up- glide will be quite impressive and combined with the deep moisture means that everyone will get pretty wet. * Precipitation: Yes and quite a bit. Through the entire event the Cascades can expect anywhere from 1-3 inches of liquid and perhaps more near the crest. The northern and Panhandle mountains .50-1.5 inches and for the low lands around a half inch from Saturday morning through Sunday morning. * Precipitation type: Behind the first cold front temperatures will cool down with snow levels dropping down to 2.5-3.0K feet across the south and 1.5-2K feet across the north. Strong warm air advection will result in snow levels increasing through the day Saturday and finally rising above 6-7k feet across the south, but still only around 3.5-4k feet across the north. The challenge will again be the Methow valley where the cooler air will be tougher to scour out. The models continue to be a little too cold for the Methow and I chose to go above guidance in these areas, and secondly with this much precipitation and warm air advection I would think these areas should mix out pretty well. Still there should be an extended period of snow accumulation for the Methow valley with moderate snow accumulations possible. For the remainder of the mountain valleys it looks like they might start out with a snow/rain mix but quickly transition over the rain. Snow amounts in the Cascades could be in the 1-2 foot range above 4k feet and up to a foot or maybe slightly more for the northeast and panhandle mountains by Sunday morning. The Methow could see as much as 5-7 inches. * Winds: 850 mb winds will climb up to around 40-45kt. The question will be if these winds can mix to the surface. Without a robust cold front this will be tough. So winds Breezy to even windy in locations but likely not advisory speed. * Temps: Very warm for the season with highs in the 40s on Saturday and 40-50 on Sunday. This will be 10-20 degrees above seasonal normals. Tobin Sunday and Sunday night...A cold front plows across the Inland Northwest on Sunday, helping to shunt the bulk of the moisture from the atmospheric river south and east of the region. Gusty westerly winds will develop by Sunday afternoon and evening with gusts to 30 kts. Under the west to northwest flow, precipitation will still be confined to the orographic favored areas like the Cascades crest, the Blue mountains and the central Idaho Panhandle. Snow levels will be relatively high with mainly valley rain and mountain snow. The only exception would be some high valley snow in the far northern valleys Sunday morning, but it looks the combination of the winds from the frontal passage and arrival of the drier air, will help mix out that colder air and help shut off the additional low elevation snow accumulations in the northern valleys. Also temperatures look to be warmest of the week on Sunday. Monday and Monday night..Cooler and drier air to filter in from the north, giving the region a break from the precipitation. An upper level ridge will slowly migrate across the region. A few lingering showers are possible by early Monday morning across the northern mountains. Expect temperatures to cool late Monday night. Tuesday through the Christmas holiday...The ridge aloft flattens allowing for a more active period. One weather disturbance will drop down from the northwest with a frontal band pushing through the region on Tuesday, skipping across the Columbia Basin but targeting the mountains. Chances for snow look good for Tuesday morning across the northern valleys and mountains, then snow levels will jump giving way to valley rain and mountain snow again for Tuesday afternoon and evening. This frontal band will slide south and stall across the Blue mountains and southern Idaho panhandle. Meanwhile the models show more energy dropping down from the Gulf of Alaska and strengthening the northern jet stream, but what they show happens to the frontal band are two differing scenarios. The GFS continues the trend that this northern disturbance will carve out a deeper trough which digs further south and pushes the boundary further into Oregon, and leaving much of the Inland Northwest drier. The 00Z ECMWF bounced back its solution and shows the frontal band lifting northward and bringing a return of precipitation, mostly in the form of snow, back into the Inland Northwest. To avoid bouncing forecasts around, opted to lean more toward climatology gives most areas a chance of snow for Christmas eve day, then tapering off by Christmas eve night, although confidence is marginally poor. A drier northwest flow aloft will move into the region with cooler, more seasonal temperatures into the end of the week. /rfox. && .AVIATION... 12Z TAFS: A frontal system is moving through the eastern portions of the area this morning. Light to moderate precipitation will effect the eastern TAF sites for a few more hours...otherwise expect drying from the west. Current VFR/MVFR conditions for the eastern zones will begin to decrease MVFR/IFR after 15z as the rain comes to an end and fog/stratus develops. Improvement to VFR is expected after 22z. Stratus/fog will reform after 06z lowering conditions back to IFR. Current IFR/LIFR conditions for KMWH/KEAT may not see as much improvement. Cigs/vsby may increase to MVFR at KEAT after 21z...but the fog/stratus is expected to reform around 06z again tonight. Tobin && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Tea Jenny's Note:
This soup has been handed down the family, and my Gran used to make it for our lunch and that's going back a bit, my sisters think mine is as good as Gran's, but I dont think anyone could make it like Gran as she made it on an old fireplace range and you could taste the smoke from the fire. It's a very warming delicious soup that will make you want more. Good for a cold day to warm you up but we have it all year round. It can get cold at night in summer here in Scotland and we have this for supper strange you might think but wait till you try it you will see.
