The state's best available 2015 point guard, River Rouge's Lamonta Stone, is off the board having committed up the road to Eastern Michigan. The 94 Corridor is home to his replacement atop the uncommitted point guard chart, Andia Marsh who is averaging 24 points and 4.5 assists for Taylor Kennedy. Also amongst the top dozen left, the QB of Class A undefeated East Kentwood, Brent Kimbrel, and a literal QB, Monroe SMCC three-sport star Bryce Windham.

With the October 6 commitment of Detroit Western's Gerald Blackshear and Josh McFolley to the University of Detroit, 20 Michigan seniors have now made their college commitments.
2015 Dilon Aten 6-1 Sr Wayland (ACB BankHoops) CornerstoneThis is how you become a small college power, keeping at home all-staters talented enough to have played at bigger schools. Cornerstone did it in the spring with Holland Christian's Kyle Steigenga. Aten can help you running a team, or picking up the scoring when he has to. The last time an all-state point guard went from Wayland to Cornerstone it worked out well, Wes Hudson was the 2014 WHAC MVP.
Gerald Blackshear 6-8 Sr Detroit Western (1Nation) DetroitEnergy guy whose motor when paired with athleticism and wingspan make Blackshear productive without having plays called for him. Guards the bucket, pursues rebounds and rim runs for dunks. Ability to check inside and out is attractive. He'll join AAU and former Mt. Clemens teammate Josh McFolley at Detroit Western, and then at Calihan Hall.
Deleon Brown 6-2 Sr Grand Rapids Christian (SYF Players/GR Storm) ColoradoA smooth shooter who hit for 20 points per game as a junior and vaulted into one of the state's top 10 overall recruits. Creating space is creating space, and Brown's ball-handling give him point guard potential in addition to his scoring prowess. Brown chose the Buffaloes ahead of a bevy of mid-major offers, and will likely play a post-grad year prior to facing the rigors of the Pac10.
Malik Clincy 6-2 Sr Grand Rapids Northview (WM Lakers) CornerstoneBetween Aten and Clincy, Cornerstone has already inked two top 30 overall prospects, securing a future backcourt that could keep them in national contention through the end of the decade. Either of them can play on or off the ball, Clincy an athletic lane scorer and creator who will knock down clutch shots and give effort defensively. He's one of the state's biggest sleepers, and looked just as good as any of the 2015 Detroit area guards in AAU.
Tariq Archibald 5-8 Jr Ortonville BrandonOne of the state's significant sub-genres of player, Pontiac point guards, ran strong through the turn of the century. Maurice Searight remains the favorite guard this space has covered. It's endangered now, but able vessels of this diaspora still exist, like Archibald. Maybe not as much glitter in the veneer, but rock solid where it counts. He's a smooth A-to-B guard who mixes in his own offense. Will have to get more explosive for high school shots to become college shots at his size.
"Solid vocal point guard who does everything well," a coach said. "Doesn't wow you with flare, but gets the job done with efficiency. Plays tough on-ball defense, but will need to continue to get stronger to allow him to match up better with bigger guards."
Payton Dewildt 6-1 Jr MidlandThe jumper sets it all up for this combo guard who brings to mind John Flynn with his build and ability to get off his shot. Dangerous three-point shooter off of screens or as a pitch option in the corner. Uses strength at the block and can finish with either hand. Not a break-down point guard but sees the open man, is unselfish and makes good decisions against helping and double-teaming defenders. At his height, development of mid-range game will be key.
"Classic lefty, Gail Goodrich shooter," a coach said. "Solid small college player, at least."
AJ Atwater 5-11 Sr OtsegoIn the midst of football season, but when you can shoot you can shoot and Atwater knocks down shots by rote. High IQ, efficient player. Good grades, low risk recruit.
"Has a pure stroke and confidence to go with it," a coach said. "Has a strong frame and gets after it on defense."
"True floor general," said another. "Guys certainly respect his game, because whenever he was in he ran the show. Very nice handle and didn't over-dribble. He also used the dribble well to create good passing angles. Was one of the best post-feeders at the camp. Defensively he gets after it. Poor shot selection at times would be his only flaw on offense."
Solomon Barwegan 6-1 Sr OtsegoFormer Vicksburg standout is now a key member of one of the state's best Class B teams. Barwegan can shoot from 3 or mid-range and is much improved with the ball. He was all business all day and produced throughout.
"He seemed to just make the right play each time," a coach said. "he hustled, passed and shot lights out. Loved his energy!"
"One of the most solid perimeter participants at camp," said another. "Has a game reminiscent of Bobby Naubert. He played hard and well all day. Could have been called the Drill Sergeant from his perfect execution during stations The nice thing was once the games began he continued to keep you watching. Very good point guard who can play in transition or the half-court. Knocks down the open shot and drives it well enough to draw help and make good decisions off of it. Plays very hard on defense and uses angles well, which makes up for some lack of elite quickness. needs to continue to work on athleticism, but overall one of the best players I saw."
Adam Abraham 6-6 Sr Grand HavenOne of the surprise players of camp, clearly well-coached by the late Steve Hewitt at Grand Haven.
"Was a matchup nightmare for other bigs during the drills and in the games," said one coach. "Had the most consistent mid-range jumper of any big in attendance and was good enough with the ball to get a step on taller defenders as they stepped out on him. Played very hard on both ends of the floor and always seemed to be around the ball. He has more athleticism than you may think at first glance as he had some throw-downs with no problem. Continued improvement on his ball-handling will be huge for him as bigger schools will probably label him a tweener. Will make some coach very happy at whatever schools he lands."
Austin Bykerk 6-8 Sr Hudsonville Unity ChristianHe's long, bouncy and when assertive and consistent like he was here, Bykerk looks like a scholarship player. Poor man's Evan Bruinsma who can board, dunk and shoot.
"Could not keep him off the boards," a coach said.
"Very good showing by this long and athletic big man," another coach said. "Handles the ball well for a big and makes good decisions with it. Clearly prefers catching at the high post or short corners to playing back to the basket, however, not afraid to get in there and bang for rebounds. He does a nice job keeping the ball high on put-backs and finishes."
Sean Corcoran 6-6 Sr Flint PowersThis was his first full-on basketball since an ugly ankle injury in the first session of July AAU. Runs well, plays hard. Thin but will scrap. Liked how he talked on D and closed out. Can shoot from the short corners. Sometimes hands come and go. He'd played against New Haven center Innocent Nwoko both in AAU and in team camp, here Corcoran got to play next to him and show his game more out on the floor.
"Very active wing that ran his lane well in transition, and even pushed it up a couple times," a coach said. "One of the better offensive rebounders at camp. Finishes well with either hand once he gets near the rim. Needs to work on perimeter game in order to become a more complete player. Played hard and rebounded well on the defensive end.

Link Roundup: A Week in the Life of a McDonald's Employee, A Sandwich in Every Beer
Categories: Food News
roadsideamerica.com |
Who's lovin' it? The Washington Post follows a week in the life of a McDonald's employee, a Guatamalan immigrant who moved to the states in search of a better life. From serving
fresh mangos in his homeland to steering the mango pineapple smoothie roll-out as a manager at the nation's second largest private employer, Raul Reyes tells of his "dream come true" in climbing the ranks at McDonald's following his absconding over the Mexican border in 1995. It's riveting.
Articles on beer pairing and beer as an ingredient
are big this Labor Day weekend. Who's cooking with beer around here and what's on the menu? I've seen restaurants announce beer dinners but am curious if any restaurant embraces both as a part of their repertoire. (Cheese and beer pairings don't count. It's like chocolate and red wine: We get it.)Follow Clean Plate Charlie on Facebook and on Twitter. Follow me @melissamccart

As of January 26, the California Department of Water Resources reported that snowpack statewide was at just 27% of its normal level, which is 15% of the average for April 1, the point at which snow is typically expected to stop accumulating and begin to melt.
Which means, of course, that California is in for another dry year. Melting snowpack provides water to streams and rivers and replenishes reservoirs that are used for drinking water and agriculture.
In a cruel irony, a dry year...

Weather And Climate - Refresher 101
Great brief in Time Magazine discussing the difference between 'weather' and 'climate'. A common denier argument is to point outside and suggest that the cold weather obviously means that climate change isn't happening.
But as Time points out, the unseasonably cold 2008 will still rank in the top 10 hottest years since climate record taking was started. Consider it homework for the holidays.

- Ahoy seabirdos!
Saturday 8/3 was LAAS' annual gruelling endurance test - "how much can you take to
get a tick" T-bird trip. 20 hours of racing along at 9.2 knots, slugging through 2' seas like a warthog wallowing at a waterhole. Goal:
to get to the outer banks, some 70 miles offshore, where there are usually Tropicbirds in season (late summer to early fall best).
The three major banks outside the channel islands
in socal, run SE to NW; Cortes, Tanner, Cherry.
Cherry is not named on maps, but unlike most not-
formally-named subsea features in socal, almost all captains from almost all ports call this one by Cherry. (Potato has also been recorded). It is about 24 nm South of San Nicholas Isl., rising to 45 fathoms. Tanner gets to 9fa (!) and Cortes 4fa (!). They are in LA Co., whilst Cherry is in Ventura.
The 5 previous trips had racked up over 20 T-birds, never missing the species. Victory was snatched out of the jaws of defeat, when just after 6 p.m., a Red-billed Tropicbird came to the boat, in LA Co. :):). It gave crippling views of its gleaming white plumage, red bill, and long tail streamers in the late, low sun. We gave chase and most saw it, but not all, as usual. We lost the bird, and executed the
standard T-bird search pattern (a trade secret).
A mile away, a Murrelet was spotted, the boat stopped and while I was able to ID the murrelet as it dove by its wing-linings (clear white), I scanned the sea and there it was, sitting a few hundred yards away, the T-bird. We eased up on it, and as always, like Orca or Butterflies, they may come to you, but don't like you coming to them. All had stellar looks of its cocked streamers as it sat, and when it took off there were 30 very happy campers, and some very relieved leaders! No refund checks to write :):)!
The whole last couple hours of the trip, before and after the T-bird were largely spent looking through distant Storm-Petrels. Least might have been most numerous. A very few Black were seen, and small numbers of Ashy were regular. Once, three Least were close enough for most to get good looks, right next to a couple Ashy.
A pair of Xantus's Murrelets with 2 nearly grown
young was followed for some time earlier off Cherry Banks. They were near an area of feeding Fin Whales, some of which came over to, and circled the boat a few times, only feet away! We could see their baleen! Amazing the Whales and Murrelets are feeding on the same krill! Apparently, the baleen filters out the Murrelets :)
Some Pomarine Jaegers were seen, including a couple of my favorites, the dark morphs. One Arctic Tern came in and gave great looks at point blank. A few Red, and many Red-necked Phalaropes were about. The Shearwater numbers, like other stuff, were soooo low, as to be unbelieveable. Maybe a couple dozen Sooty,
and a few dozen Pink-foots, most very early in the day right after sunup, made for lots of long, long, birdless stretches.
This trip usually has thousands of birds. Not the couple hundred we worked for this time. It was astoundingly dead over large areas. Overall species diversity of "pelagics" was down 30% or more, compared to all five previous trips. Note though this trip was two weeks earlier than the other 5. The difference however was far greater than the two weeks...
Early in the day we were given an incredible show
by a couple Blue Whales which allowed approach
to within 15 meters, and seemed very interested
in us. Staying up, circling, and checking us out
for an inordinate amount of time. They were great! Other larger "Blue blows" were seen but not chased, since we had such great looks at these.
A couple/few Minke Whales were seen, and some
Pacific White-sided Dolphins were in with some
Commons in one of many pods of them we saw. Very late in the day someone called my attention to a large dorsal they saw. I scanned for minutes before I got 4 views of a tall dagger shaped spike of a black dorsal, Orca! It disappeared again, and being 'past time' (late) we couldn't go after it. They don't respond well usually anyway. It/they had been trailing us far back along an edge of our wake.
Early in the day someone called my attention to
a flying alcid which crossed the bow at 100 meters. It was clearly a Craveri's Murrelet, with it's gray winglinings, but unfortunately, it was the only one seen, and only a few saw it.
It was a great trip, despite the lack of birds
much of the time, with a great group of people.
Special thanks to leaders: Mike San Miguel Jr.,
Kimball Garrett, and David Pereksta. Mind-blowing
looks at whales, along with finally getting our
T-bird, and the fun storm-petrel studies with Leasts, made for a good day for all.
may your birds have tubes in their noses...

"A must read for anyone doing business on the web."
A must read for anyone doing business on the web. The book outlines hundreds of real world business models using free in some way or another. It explores the historical beginning of sayings such as "there is no such thing as a free lunch" to the business models of some of the largest companies on the planet today - think Google. It covers the divide between BITS and ATOMS and the theory that pricing erodes to the marginal cost, which in many cases on the web is free, or at least so small it's not worth measuring.
The audio book is free on Audible.com (and maybe on iTunes) but it would have been worth paying for.

Shallowater beats Idalou for spot in state tournament ... follow Bryan Navarette's Live Game Tracker coverage!
Dear Abby: Since the moment my oldest son, "Ryan," enlisted in the U.S. Army, our family has been concerned he would be deployed.
Dear Abby: For those who are looking for gift suggestions for older parents, may I offer what my kids do for us? They live far away and usually visit us in the spring and fall.
Dear Abby: I am a former drama queen and addict now enjoying long-term sobriety, or trying to. What's missing in my life is my family. Since returning from rehab, I have been "going it alone" - and I'm not sure why.
Dear Abby: My mother has this odd habit that my younger sister, "Sara," and I don't agree with. It's only the three of us in our house, and Sara and I are in high school and college.
Dear Abby: I was married to a wonderful woman who passed away five months ago after a heart attack. Why do people act as if the one who has passed away never existed? PLEASE talk about her. Talk about her often. Tell me good things about her.
Dear Abby: I am a single woman who raised three kids on one average income. They are all grown and on their own now. I still save and have a tight budget, but now I can spend some money on travel.
Dear Abby: I recently found out my daughter has been having an affair with her sister's husband. This will tear our family apart. It will also have a huge impact on my grandchildren.
Dear Abby: I live in a 55-and-older mobile home park. Because my coach isn't huge, I have a nice little backyard where I have a small vegetable garden and a lovely lemon tree.
Dear Abby: I was recently fired from my job for chronic tardiness. I have worked at this business for four years, and although I knew my lateness was seen as a problem by my boss, it was still a surprise.
Dear Abby: I'm 13 and I'm afraid I may have OCD. I want to find out, but what's standing in my way is that sometimes my parents think I make stuff up to get attention. I'm afraid to tell them, but I know if I do, it will answer my question.

How long did it take for you to see results? I just signed up with them less than a month ago and I am still waiting.
Did you see a change in any of your scores
Well that is awesome!!!! I hope all works out for you. Thanks for the info. I hope to chat with you soon.

FYI... I signed up to LL on Dec 7 '11. Across all three bureaus I had a total of 28 baddies. As of today I'm left with 9 total baddies across all three bureaus. My score has increased about 100 points all three bureaus. I only chose to use them because my work schedule doesn't leave me much free time in addition to just being lazy. So my experience has been good with them so far. Mod Cut Oh, also all collections on my report were paid in full and over a few years old. I'm pretty sure that has contributed to my success with them. Other than being a little slow they have been phenomenal. Mod Cut
Hope this helps!

I haven't used Lexington Law, but I currently use Skyblue. I don't leave it all in their hands though. I've done my research as well as made phone calls to the same companies that they're disputing. Just for the simple reason that I do not know what they're writing the creditors and most of the information I asked them to fix was information that I knew for a fact was incorrect or just out right old. They are by all means cheaper than Lexington Law and I have received phone calls and usually get a reply by email within 24 hours. I've used them for 2 months and they've gotten my scores increased from below 620 to where they are.

The chemical industry has flourished in the 20th century due to the massive supply of cheap crude oil. However, growing concerns about the dependence on imported oil and the awareness that the world's oil supplies are limited have prompted interest in exploring nature's richness of plant sources. Plants offer enormous potential as cost-effective, unlimited, environmentally friendly production systems that make efficient use of light energy and supply raw materials for the production of fuels, bulk, and fine chemicals. Terpenes are one of the largest and most diverse classes of organic compounds produced by all plants. They are derived biosynthetically from isoprene units, which consist of five carbon atoms. Due to their high abundance they have attracted attention as a class of natural products that can be converted into novel and valuable compounds commercially important for the industrial production of fragrances, perfumes, flavors, and pharmaceuticals as well as useful synthetic intermediates and chiral building blocks. The review focuses on the use of terpenes available from renewable resources in the fine chemicals industry. Chemical and biotechnological approaches are highlighted.

Hostess Interview
Application DetailsI applied through other source. The process took a day – interviewed at Disney Parks & Resorts in March 2012.
Interview DetailsThere was a job fair for this place at Downtown Disney advertised on Craigslist. I called to confirm that it was actually a legit posting and I went in on the day. The hostess gave me an application and sat me with the others. There were maybe 12-15 total people there. I filled out the application and waited to be called. The interview itself was very different from the ones I had. It was the first interview I had with a man though, so maybe they have a different style, lol. Anyway, it was very quick-paced. I had put that I wanted the hostess or the server position. I have a background in food service, but no actual serving experience so I didn't think I had much of a chance of that one.
In short, he really liked my background working at Panera. He asked if I'd had experience serving alcohol and I said no, but that it would be no problem for me to learn. He responded like he was surprised to hear that, which I thought was weird because wouldn't anyone say that if they wanted to get the job? He had to leave briefly to deal with a problem and the guy interviewing the other half of the group (this one was the head chef) came over, introduced himself and sat to look at my application. And didn't say anything else other than asking about my availability. The other man came back (he was a manager) and after reiterating the alcohol question he asked me "hypothetically" if I were to receive an offer for the hostess position and then came and worked there for a few months, got to know the menu and the alcohol (they were known for their tequilas) and then given a chance to move to server, would I like that? Uh, duh yeah I'd love that. Lol, I said that would be great. Then he told me that he really liked how professional I was, that I seemed for outgoing and able to approach people easily, see what they needed. And not to toot my own horn, but he was totally right. I knew I was good at all of those things. So, yeah. I felt great after that. And I knew that no one else had applied for the hostess position (there was a sign up sheet where we wrote our name and the position we were applying for) so I felt pretty confident.
I waited a week and called to see how things were progressing. They gave me the basic "still reviewing applicants and they'll call then blah blah". I called again this time more than a week later (because seriously, 2 1/2 weeks to decide on a couple servers and hostess?) and was told that if I hadn't heard from them by then they probably weren't hiring me. I was pretty pissed. The guy all but told me he was going to call me (right before the interview ended, but I didn't mention above) and had many great things to say about me, was visibly impressed with my attitude and willingness to learn and there were like maybe 10 people there and only 4 of them were women, who all applied to be servers, so what about me wasn't good enough? I brushed it off though. Maybe one of the others who applied for server weren't qualified either and offered the hostess position. Maybe they'd had experience serving alcohol.
Barely a week later I was again on Craigslist and they had placed another freakin' ad this time specifically for hostesses! Are you KIDDING me?! Screw them. Oh, and I had eaten there before the job fair because I wanted to see what the place was like, do a little researching of my own (yeah, I give me all when I'm going for a job), and I was not hugely impressed. Our server was friendly, but the hostesses....well, maybe they didn't hire me because I didn't suck enough. : P Oh, and the food is bland and overpriced, but hey! That's Disney for ya.Interview Questions- Where are you working now? View Answer

1222. ncstorm
thats a big shift for Maria |
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 11:25 PM GMT on September 07, 2011
Tropical Storm Nate formed in the southern Gulf of Mexico this afternoon after Hurricane Hunters found a well-defined surface circulation in Invest 96L. Nate is the 14th named storm this year, and comes three days before the climatological half-way point of the Atlantic hurricane season, September 10. A typical hurricane season has just 10 - 11 named storms, so we've already had 35% more than a whole season's worth of storms before reaching the season's half-way point. At this rate, 2011 will see 28 named storms, equalling the all-time record set in 2005. Nate's formation date of September 7 puts 2011 in 2nd place for earliest date of arrival of the season's 14th storm. Only 2005 had an earlier formation date of the season's 14th named storm (September 6, when Hurricane Nate got named.) Third place is now held jointly by 1936 and 1933, which got their 14th storm of the season on September 10.
This afternoon's Hurricane Hunter mission into Invest 96L/Nate found maximum sustained winds of at least 45 mph, and minimum central pressure of 1003 mb. Wind shear in the region is low and is expected to remain low for the next 48 hours. Sea surface temperature is toasty in the Gulf at around 30°C (86°F) and more than ample to support intensification. Nate will bring heavy rains and potential flooding and mudslides to Mexico, and according to some weather models, also has the potential to be a U.S. landfall threat. Nate's surface circulation is apparent on satellite loops, although the thunderstorm activity in the storm is displaced from the center. It appears the strongest storms are to the southwest and northeast of the center. East of the storm, thunderstorms are churning associated with the stationary front that's draped across Florida, the Gulf of Mexico, and over the Yucatan Peninsula. This stationary front is left over from the cold front that pushed south through the central and eastern U.S. earlier this week, and created a focal point in the Gulf of Mexico for Tropical Storm Nate to form. It's notoriously difficult for weather models and forecasters to predict tropical cyclones that spin up in the Gulf of Mexico, but lead-time for both Nate and our previous Gulf cyclone, Lee, was generous.
Figure 1. Infrared satellite image of Tropical Storm Nate at 6:15pm EDT.
Forecast for Tropical Storm Nate
Given the favorable environment, in addition to a very warm pocket of sea surface waters in the central Gulf of Mexico, we expect that Nate will intensify modestly over the next few days. The National Hurricane Center forecasts that Nate will become the third hurricane of the season by Friday. The HWRF and ECMWF agree with this forecast—both of these models bring Nate to a category 2 hurricane by Saturday. The IVCN/ICON consensus models that the Hurricane Center relies on are more conservative, peaking at category 1 intensity. Nate's maximum potential intensity is heavily dependent on its track, which, according to the weather models, has been up in the air for the past few of days. Until this afternoon's run, the ECMWF has held true to its forecast that Nate will track north and make landfall anywhere from Louisiana to Florida. This afternoon, it backed off of that solution and is now forecasting a northern Mexico landfall. The GFS has consistently forecasted a track that lingers in the Bay of Campeche for a few days before ultimately making dive to the west into Mexico. Over the past few days the Canadian CMC model has been reluctant to develop Nate at all, but today is forecasting the system to track north into the Southeast U.S. states. Now that there is Hurricane Hunter data to ingest (as well as confirmed 45 mph surface wind speeds), we expect the models will come into better agreement on both track and intensity for Tropical Storm Nate.
Tropical Storm Maria
Tropical Depression 14 was named Tropical Storm Maria late this morning, as well. The storm is still pretty far east in the Atlantic, 1,200 miles east of the Leeward Islands, but is moving quickly to the west at 23 mph. According to the National Hurricane Center, Maria looks well-organized on satellite, "but not really." If you look closely at satellite loops (especially the loops that you can catch before the sun sets in that area), you'll see the surface circulation is located to the west of the strongest thunderstorm activity. Well-organized tropical cyclones will be vertically stacked in the atmosphere, with the strongest thunderstorms directly on top of the surface circulation. Maria's disjointed-ness is likely due to a pretty strong clip of wind shear (30 knots worth) in the area. This would usually be deadly for a tropical cyclone of Maria's strength, but since the storm is moving so quickly to the west, the Hurricane Center is forecasting the storm to remain somewhat intact for the next 5 days, although the forecast is for no intensification. Models are coming into better agreement on the track of this system. Prior to today, the ECMWF was forecasting a track south of Puerto Rico, but has since changed its mind and is now in agreement with many of the other models on a track skirting the northern Leeward Islands and missing the Greater Antilles to the north. Beyond this, there is quite a bit of uncertainty depending on steering winds in the Atlantic. It's still too early to guess which track the models will eventually converge on. Climatology favors a track that would miss land, with Dr. Bob Hart's track history pages suggesting Maria has a 22% chance of hitting Canada, 19% chance of hitting Bermuda, and an 11% chance of hitting North Carolina.

Quoting basti11: Cause GFS has totally changed from saying it was going to Mexico and now says it will go north? ... just passing by... continue on with your discussions... out of here :-D weee |
Quoting SPLbeater:The high building strong north of her. |
Quoting Jax82:lol. Gorgeous, clear skies and the clutter on the radar gives a max reflectivity of 60 to 70 dBz. Lends one to have less than complete faith that this particular bit of information has any accuracy. Not a new feeling as we have 60+ dBz showing on a highway bridge 90% of the time in the NWS NOLA radar. |
Last week, I was asking whether this deep diving front and seemingly the end of summer heat in Northern GOM has for all intents and purposes shut the GOM down for storm activity. In years past, such a deep front did end Atlantic threats, but left the door open for GOM storm development. These storms usually end up in Yucitan or Mexico. Is that what models are struggling with to overcome the prevalence of such activity to remain very far South after such a front? |
Quoting MoltenIce: Where's OPHELIA? |
Quoting Caner:all very interesting, thanks! i do think geography is playing a major role in keeping Nate a 'player'... i like how Chicklit put it, in his incubator ;) without that bump in spin, i'd imagine some of the environmental factors could take him down.. but with the spin he can keep splashing in those warm waters, mixing it up and causing the blog to stir. (only a modest amount of anthropomorphicizationism) |

Folks, if you ignore someone, there is no reason to quote them with a "Poof" statement. Seriously, it's childish and it wastes comment space. Especially when you have several people doing it. You aren't making that person feel any worse by telling them you put them on your ignore list. They don't care, get over it. Just ignore them and move on. No need to brag about it. All that does is draw more attention (Remember, trolls thrive on attention) to the problem. |
Quoting Caner:The link provided by Minniemike is Total Precipitable Water. This satellite product is not blocked by clouds, nor grossly attenuated by water vapor as it is from Microwave sounding instruments, unlike satellite water vapor products. Thus, it is capable of measuring the entire column of the atmosphere down to the surface. You are partly correct, however, that a thin surface layer may have more moisture than the TPW leads one to believe. This is due to the layer being relatively thin and the atmosphere above it being so very dry. See the 74 F dewpoint to the NW of Nate: |

Maria really need to slow down. can anybody explain the fast movement? |
Quoting Minnemike: There is more to a storm than its barometric pressure, Nate still doesn't have any good mid-level inflow on the north or eastern side. I think the low level inflow moistened from the unusually high evaporative clouds we are seeing to the North and NW, in that 'dry' air are helping compensate for that. That is quite a bit of moisture and cloudband it is picking up from 'dry air'... |
Quoting wxobsvps: Look at WV - there are two discrete spins. I don't know what's up with LSU's ESL, been hinky for two days now, splits the screen and wraps it. |
What a change.Maria's center far south of the track.Crazy models.And now what next for the islands. |
No launch, it's a bit windy here at KSC. There's also quite a lot of very low cloud cover. It seemed fine closer to the launch pad, but north by the VAB continues to have pretty dark clouds. It missed its two launch windows for today, so we'll see about future dates in the coming weeks, pending Maria and Nate of course :) |
Quoting 19N81W: By 2PM today... but with her moving at 20MPH+. Not quite sure that turn would be that dramatic. The cone might need to be shifted further W at 11AM. |
Quoting P451: Might as well just draw the circle around the entire GOM at this point. |
When are they predicting Nate will make up his mind and start moving? Going out of town this weekend and not returning until Sunday night. Don't want to come home to Nate in NOLA's backyard!! |
What time is Recon going into Maria? TIA |
If Nate is able to keep moving N to NE as Maria approaches then we could have Nate intensifying the subtropical ridge N of Maria and keeping her on a more W to WNW displacement a lot longer. |
Maria looks sickly. |

Hoosier Happenings
24 February 2015
Zax ByPass
I wish I had more time to blog.
I always find it therapeutic and it seems that a handful of you actually enjoy reading Hoosier Happenings as well. The last several weeks have found me steeped in new responsibilities to which I've tried to throw myself at wholeheartedly so combined with work, something had to give. But I saw a post on Facebook last night concerning community development that prompted this recollection of a story by the great philosopher, Dr. Seuss, and maybe sums up a great deal of my experiences in these first few weeks........and honestly, seems like a reflection on nearly the last "fifty-nine years" as we stand here in the prairie of Prax beneath the Zax ByPass. Let's hope for an off-ramp and begin to pull in the same direction, together, because the world isn't going to stand still-it will grow. Lately it's been growing around and without us.
The Zax by Dr. Seuss
One day, making tracks
In the prairie of Prax,
Came a North-Going Zax
And a South-Going Zax.
And it happened that both of them came to a place
Where they bumped. There they stood.
Foot to foot. Face to face.
"Look here, now!" the North-Going Zax said. "I say!
You are blocking my path. You are right in my way.
I'm a North-Going Zax and I always go north.
Get out of my way, now, and let me go forth!"
"Who's in whose way?" snapped the South-Going Zax.
"I always go south, making south-going tracks.
So you're in MY way! And I ask you to move
And let me go south in my south-going groove."
Then the North-Going Zax puffed his chest up with pride.
"I never," he said, "take a step to one side.
And I'll prove to you that I won't change my ways
If I have to keep standing here fifty-nine days!"
"And I'll prove to YOU," yelled the South-Going Zax,
"That I can stand here in the prairie of Prax
For fifty-nine years! For I live by a rule
That I learned as a boy back in South-Going School.
Never budge! That's my rule. Never budge in the least!
Not an inch to the west! Not an inch to the east!
I'll stay here, not budging! I can and I will
If it makes you and me and the whole world stand still!"
Of course the world didn't stand still. The world grew.
In a couple of years, the new highway came through
And they built it right over those two stubborn Zax
And left them there, standing un-budged in their tracks.

Cowles Bog at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore
My appreciation for the Indiana dunes began several years ago when researching the early preservation movement in the dunes region, headed up by notable folks like Jens Jensen, and stand-out botanist Dr. Henry Cowles of Chicago who completed pioneering work in ecology in the dunes. While I haven't extensively explored the dunes area (outside of the state park), I have enjoyed a few hikes in the area. Recently a buddy and I hiked the trail through Cowles Bog, one of the most ecologically significant areas of the dunes and named for the good doctor who helped place it on the map.
The bog is estimated to be about 8,000 years old and is described as a "fen" or marsh area covered with mosses and sedges. The bog was named a National Natural Landmark in 1965, about the time the National Lakeshore was created. In 1913, Dr. Cowles headed up an international excursion to the bog, attended by scientists from around the world who came to witness one of the most ecologically-diverse areas in the United States, only behind Yellowstone Park and the giant redwoods area of California.
Yep-right here in Indiana.
31 December 2014
I had a long conversation this week with a young man who is trying to reconcile the traditions of Christmas with his Christian faith. He's taken it to heart and has pages of notes from his research on the origins of Christmas as the holiday we observe. He became very serious and asked me "what do you think of Christmas?" Not exactly sure what he was getting at, I said, "well, it's over-commercialized, and of course, it wasn't when Christ was actually born." More than a half hour later we parted and I mentioned that I had this post rolling around in my head and that our conversation encouraged me to frame it a little differently.
Now this isn't going to be a "put Christ back in Christmas" post, nor is it about the idea the holiday has been hijacked by retailers. In looking for the true spirit of the celebration, in an aspect of the Christian faith that truly should be celebrated, I wonder if we've let the hype steal what could be, and I think was, one of the most meaningful emotions of the season. Have we lost the feeling of anticipation?
From the time the angel appeared to Mary, then Joseph, the anticipation of the Christ was nurtured by these two individuals who God chose to reveal his plan of salvation and reconciliation of the fractured world. And when Mary gave birth, the angels carried that message of hope to shepherds in the fields around Bethlehem, who hurried with anticipation to see this savior-child. And some time later, having been revealed to magi, these wise men followed a star in anticipation to see who they knew had been foretold in ancient prophecies. What would be next for Jesus? His father and mother must have wondered, and then the young men He gathered to His side must have felt such great anticipation in their hearts as Christ healed the sick, made the lame to walk, and opened blind eyes. And when all hope must have seemed lost on Golgotha, imagine the anxious hearts when they learned the stone had been rolled away. What great feeling of wonder and anticipation must have filled those with whom Jesus had walked the streets of Jerusalem.
Christmas Eve at the 'ol homestead |
Christmas Eve is my most favorite point on the calender. There seems to be an almost palatable feeling of peace that envelopes the world around us. I can walk through our house and feel warmth, hope, and peace in a way that is hard to put into words, but I am sure you understand what I am attempting to convey. And maybe it is the lights on the tree, or the traditions of family before me that pull my heart to that place. But from my late teens until now-it has been the most sacred of times as I consider the sacrifice, born in a manger, that brings hope to the world.
Frankly, I don't know that I care that the Church landed on December 25 to celebrate the birth of Christ eons ago. To me, it is less about celebrating a day than it is about celebrating what the coming of Christ as a baby means to the Christian faith. I choose to celebrate, with anticipation, what God has already prepared for me in the year ahead. So in that vein, celebrating at this point on the calender makes perfect sense. Redirecting our hearts and thoughts during this time should start with the feeling of anticipation borne out of reflecting on the blessings God has provided in this last year and looking forward to fulfilling His calling on our hearts in the year ahead.
This isn't a post about the appropriateness of Christmas trees or lights, or greenery or Santa. And it isn't about deciding how many gifts cross the line from making this Christmas commercialized or not. Maybe this is a call to re-frame our thinking at this time of the year to that of anticipation. Block out the noise and don't worry about whether or not a manger scene is on the courthouse lawn, don't try to make the story of Christ's birth more hip with clever sermon titles or cute phrases. Just share it and ask yourself the pointed question for the year ahead, "am I living in anticipation of the Savior of the world?"

Peace on Earth
One of the most quoted scriptures during Advent is the message the angles carried to shepherds tending their flocks outside Bethlehem: Luke 2:14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace good will toward men."
Two thousand years later, while some still hope for peace, it seems an elusive concept in so much of the world. And where violence doesn't shadow the hope of peace, the busy-ness of life, angst, greed, and what-have-you tends to steal the peace that is ours for the asking. We must only seek it in the One whose coming was wrapped in its message. Too often, in many churches, we don't even bother with the hope for peace, much less in being peacemakers as is found in the Beatitudes, because we feel somehow the reality of sin and our disconnection with those who do not profess Christ, provides a waiver from our responsibility to this world. A world that needs to know the peace of God....I should hope that we're not so broken a vessel to carry that message.
For a few generations the words "Peace on Earth" hung near the top of my grandfather's barn. His family, who left the Amish church, did not know war until he served in the Pacific theater during World War II. Was it any wonder after his service ended that he should have that message proclaimed from on high? When the farm left the family, my mom noticed the words had disappeared from the barn, so she stopped and asked the owner if he had kept them. He did, and they found their way to our home.
About 10 years ago we used the words, and our kids, to send the message of "peace on earth" on our Christmas cards. When we arrived in the country, I think my mom thought they'd be placed on our barn. Instead, we had the perfect place for them inside our home and they stand as a constant reminder of what our responsibility is in this world: agents of peace, peacemakers, as we've been called to. I think that means giving up our rights, or the need to be right, in so many circumstances. I think it means finding ways to get people talking with each other, to work toward compromise and understanding. It means speaking less, and listening more, and being more inclusive in how we go about doing our Father's will.
So, in this week leading up to Christmas, let's determine to find an inward peace and contentment and then in the year before us, let's commit to being peacemakers, healers if you will, to the broken world around us.

Sweitzer Barn on the Van Reed Farm, Warren County
Levi Van Reed House, Warren County |
Sweitzer barn on the Van Reed farm |
After Levi's death the farming operations
were carried out by his sons John and Levi, Jr.
The vast estate was divided among Levi's living children, each receiving
hundreds of acres. Levi Van Reed, Jr.
inherited the family farmstead which included 240 acres on either side of Old
U.S. 41. Levi Van Reed, Jr. was born in 1860, likely at the
farmstead. In 1895,
the Levi Van Reed, Jr. family retired from farming and moved to Williamsport
where they were involved in other business interests.
Spoon mold on the farm.....just kidding, what a great splash block design! |

Saybrooke or Starbucks?
So I'm trying to embrace by English roots now that I've learned my DNA results and I'm a great deal more English than German, and even less so-Irish. I've been running down several branches of my family tree and one that has eluded me is that of the Chapman family who moved into Marshall County during the 1840s. We've heard stories of Dr. Clarke Chapman, who graduated from LaPorte Medical School and rode horseback from his farm north of Argos to make house calls. And through research we found that his father, Ezekiel, lived in Argos as well. And the most fabled of family lore, was that Johnny "Appleseed" Chapman was a cousin who visited their farm. That never quite added up, but I had always hit a brick wall with any information earlier than Ezekiel, who lived in New York state.
But in my recent research I was able to connect a more senior Ezekiel to my Indiana pioneer, which led to a third Ezekiel in Connecticut, which led to the Chapmans of Saybrooke, Connecticut, who founded the town in 1635. Robert I came to America in 1635 from England and founded the town, his son, Robert II, and grandson, Robert III, lived and died in the New England town. The founder's grave is now unmarked, but his son's grave, my great x9 grandfather, is still marked with a stone that has one of the region's famously carved designs-a stylized primitive angel. I shared the photo with a friend and he immediately responded that it looked like the Starbuck's logo. Huh...kinda. I found that most Chapmans trace their roots to Robert I, likely Johnny Appleseed does too....but I haven't found that yet. Several more interesting stories have surfaced as well, but yet a few ancestors continue to elude me.
On this Thanksgiving eve, as I delved into the richness of our country's history reaching back to its foundations, I wonder what we are leaving in our wake. What will those who come after us say of our generation? For nearly 400 years we built, cleared, prospered and can be truly thankful for much. But for what will the generations that follow be thankful to our generation? I hope it's more than limitless Starbucks.

Hagel des Vaterlandes
St. Stephens Cemetery, Dearborn County, IN |
I took my mom and her sister on a whirlwind genealogical tour across the U.S. 6 corridor in three northern Indiana counties a few weeks ago. In preparation for the trip, I plugged a few names of ancestors into findagrave.com. Yes, it is for-real. I knew that my great x3 grandfather had been born in Bavaria and came with his parents to the United States in the 1830s, first settling in Dearborn County, Indiana. Jacob Ewald followed the love of his life to northern Indiana, while his parents and several siblings remained in Dearborn County. I did not know where his parents were buried, so I plugged in their names and found that the cemetery was just off the beaten path to Madison, which is where my wife and I were planning to spend our anniversary.

12 November 2014
The Results are IN!
Inspired by the PBS program "Finding Your Roots", and trying to resolve an internal debate about some family lore, I simply asked for a DNA kit from Ancestry.com for my birthday this year. A vile full of spit and a few weeks later, my ancestral-origin profile arrived.
My grandfather, sometimes with seriousness, and other times in jest, claimed that we had Native American blood. In my genealogical research, I haven't found that native link-but some lines got blurred in Virginia, so I thought it was possible. When grandpa had us grandkids "on the hook" he'd tell us we were part Blackfoot, to which he'd take off his sock and show us the bottom of his dirty foot. That should have clued me in. More believable was his story that he knew that the first to carry our name in the New World arrived with his brothers from Ireland way back. This didn't add up to what became pretty overwhelming probability that the first of my namesake came from Germany during the Revolution, and dropped the "t" from his name so that it sounded more Anglicized.

Ain't no such thing as a 'free' lunch.
So, who's paying? |

Hate to say, but you're a bit clueless on this. "Big pharma" doesn't just do this "cause they're greedy". And it's not the store's fault. Ever met any "ambulance chasers"? They're called shark lawyers because they encourage lawsuits over every thing, whether it is the fault of the drug or not. You have people sueing because they don't take their meds right, the doc maybe prescribes the wrong thing, they have allergies they don't know of AND because of stupid pregnant women who don't watch what they take during pregnancy. THIS is why pharma costs are so high. It's lawsuit city and YOU are paying for it. GET THIS PLEASE. And it is because if you don't pay the increased cost for the pharmas, THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO OPERATE AND YOU WILL HAVE NO DRUGS. Simple as that. |

These antibiotics have been available for 43 years. Theyve been paid for thousands of times. Why dont people understand the trivial facts of life yet?

Would you care to elaborate on that? Been paid for by whom? What are your "trivial facts of life"? |

I have ordered prescription drugs (without a prescription) online from http://inhousegeneric.info about two years ago, and was pleased with the speed and quality of service.
I'm thinking of doing the same thing with my medication. The meds is expensive, but there is a generic version available overseas. I love the idea of taking responsibility for my own health (or lack of health) and skipping the bureaucracy... to say nothing of having to drive to the doctor, wait in line, yet again, to get a prescription refilled. |

Walgreen and CVS and Rite-Aid have the highest prices in town where my cousin lives. Publix and other grocers are getting our business with long lists of generics and other perks. Go Publix. |

I have used http://qgeneric.info/#rdkn for about 3 years and find their products to be reliable and speedily delivered. The Support team are very promt and helpful in solving any issues that arise,caused by my errors not the company's. I was a little sceptical initially about buying generic products rather than brand names. However, the Mens' Health products I have bought have been equally as efficatious as the brand names at a fraction of the cost.

http://inhousegeneric.com is an honest and genuine online pharmacy. We were not sure at first because this was our first order of generic medication from this pharmacy. Although it takes a bit long because it got stuck with custom, we are completely sastisfied with this online pharmacy.
You won't be disappointed with them. Their customer service is great too although they need to improve their phone system a bit more. If you need to call them just be sure to call during their working hours. Other than that we highly and sincerely recommend this online pharmacy to everyone. |

Naturally, I am skeptical of everything online. http://inhousegeneric.com is legitimate. I placed my first order for the smallest amount possible. It arrived sooner than expected. I didn't pay the extra money for speedy air mail. I placed another order that was much larger and it came right on time. I will definitely use this company again for even larger orders now that I trust them. They also give you discounts every time you place an order which is cool. One thing to keep in mind is if you place a larger order, they will send half in one shipment, and then the other half after that to avoid customs scrutinizing your package. I am very happy, I no longer need to pay tons of money to see a doctor and therapist (and have them tell me a bunch of stuff I already know) in order to get my medication.

MODERATOR SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE....for removing crappy overseas SPAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM M....

That's the way Publix operates in all areas. Food is the same. They put on these big displays of not-yet-ripe and barely fresh produce which only stays out for 2 or 3 days.. still not ripe yet. Then they clear it all off and replace it with more of the same. I'm guessing they're throwing out the previous batches and that's why their prices are so jacked up - to pay for all the fresh produce they throw out every day. I never see too many customers at their pharmacy - I wonder if their high food prices are subsidizing the pharmacist's payroll as well as all the food that's thrown out? |
