Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Players who got their chance and ran with it
There is an untold backstory behind how Derek Meech, the only locally born player on the current Jets roster, finally came to play his first home game for the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night.
Actually, it's a story that began before Derek was born 29 years ago next month. And given what we say about there only being one degree of separation between people in Winnipeg, it's a story that could only have happened here.
-- -- --
A couple of years back, not long after the Winnipeg Jets were reborn in the National Hockey League, I chanced to meet Derek Meech's father, Dennis Meech, at the Grove Pub on Stafford. The affable, elder Meech and his wife, Faye Harden-Meech, were in the process of moving furniture to their new home in Phoenix.
While I had never met Dennis, I knew former football teammates of mine who played with him during the late 1960s, when the St. Vital Bulldogs were a formidable force in Canadian senior football.
We got to talking.
Naturally, Derek's name came up.
In part, it was because I knew that in 2008, after he spent part of the season with the Detroit Red Wings when they won the Stanley Cup, Derek brought the cup home to the Dakota Community Centre, where he played hockey as a kid.
But there was another reason Dennis and I started talking about Derek. It had to do with his dad Dennis's long-standing relationship with Jets co-owner Mark Chipman.
More than 35 years ago, Mark played football for Dennis at St. Paul's High School.
It was Dennis's first year as head coach and Mark asked him if he could play quarterback. The way I recall Dennis explaining it, Mark and the previous head coach did not get along.
Dennis believed in him, though, and gave him a chance.
Mark would lead the Crusaders in battle in September 1977 and throughout the season and go on to play football at the University of North Dakota.
While he was still in second-year law at UND, Mark would tell a Free Press reporter what his other goal in life had been back then.
"More than anything," he said, "I wanted the chance to try out for the Bombers."
By the time of the interview, Mark had already accomplished that. In 1983, as a wide receiver, he had gone to the Bombers training camp, only to be cut after the first exhibition game.
"I got that chance, and that was the important thing," he said back then. "I would have always wondered, otherwise."
Of course Dennis Meech had given him a chance, too, at St. Paul's.
Maybe that's the reason they would remain friends over the years and why Mark still greets Dennis as "Coach" when they see each other or occasionally meet for lunch.
It had been over lunch one day, after Winnipeg learned the Jets were returning, that Dennis said Mark asked him a question. How would he like it if Derek ended up playing for his hometown team?
Not long after, on July 1, 2011, the Winnipeg Jets signed Derek Meech as a free agent.
Last year, Derek only got into a couple of out-of-town games with the Jets before injuring his knee. Then came this year's NHL lockout. It took time, patience, and playing with distinction for the Jets farm team in Newfoundland, but late last month Derek Meech got his chance again. He was called up, given sweater No. 7 and paired up with another defenceman.
In Derek's personal home opener, with nearly a dozen family members and who knows how many friends watching, Derek was a big plus player on the blue-line as the Jets outscored the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-2. After the game, during a TV interview, he was asked what it was like to play at home for the first time as a Winnipeg Jet.
Later, he would humbly tell a TV interviewer how it felt.
"It was a special night. It was nice."
-- -- --
Derek didn't want to be interviewed for this story. Mark Chipman declined, too. I assume it's because Derek is concerned how fans and teammates might look at him, as if there was some favouritism shown him. But the truth is, he played himself on this team. He wasn't given any favours, other than one.
A chance.
A chance is what we all hope for and deserve in life, whether we're a pro hockey player or a kid from an impoverished neighbourhood. That, and someone kind enough to offer us one.

I've developed an app called Invisible Lock which is a transparent lock screen through which we can see the screen behind the lock screen.
This is my second android application after Simple Gestures.
This is an invisible lock where in it will block access to the screen but will show the screen behind this lock. We can see everything on screen clearly but we cannot access anything until the pre-configured swipe gesture is drawn. We can select any swipe gesture from available gestures from the app settings page. Currently this app supports 4 gestures to unlock as explained below:
- Swipe Right : Swipe from left side to right side horizontally with any finger on lock screen
- Swipe Left : Swipe from right side to left side horizontally with any finger on lock screen
- Swipe Up : Swipe from down side to up side vertically with any finger on lock screen
- Swipe Down : Swipe from up side to down side vertically with any finger on lock screen
This app will lock the screen 5 seconds after the screen turns off. This will allow you to use touch to wake feature.
It will automatically unlock while incoming call.
1) Please disable default system lock or any other lock app in order for this Invisible Lock to function properly.
2) Though this app blocks access to the screen, we can still access Notification Bar and hardware buttons (if any) on the device. I am working on this to block them and will try to include in the next version.
I've uploaded it on to play store. Checkout the below link and provide your feedback:
Invisible Lock Pro
I have published pro version of this app to Play Store. It should be up in couple of hours. The pro version features:
1) Additional gesture (press & hold) has been added for security. Now you need to press & hold on the lock screen after doing the selected gesture to unlock.
2) Enable Sound on Unlock. This can be configured from the settings page. Currently the notification sound will be played when screen is unlocked.
3) Tutorial included on how to use this unlock feature.
Note: Please try my Invisible Lock application before purchasing the Pro version. If it is compatible, then buy this app.
Additional Gestures will be added in next version.

I have been researching my family tree and was linked to one of your pages memorial # 76096322. I just wanted to let you know that the birth year for Sidney Taylor is wrong. He was born in 1892 instead of 1891. I found his registration card with it on it and have a picture of his tombstone. Just wanted to let you know. By the way, thanks for the info on here. Really helped me out. I was kind of at a dead end.

I went to Valley View Memorial Gardens, Greene County, Ohio and took several photos of headstones. You had one for Ella Holt which I added a photo of the Headstone. I thought since you had so much, information on her, you might be family. Her Headstone also has her husband, James Holt buried with her and you might want to make a memorial for him. I imagine with your knowledge of the family you could do a better job than me.
Take care.

First off, please don't feel insulted if I...
First off, please don't feel insulted if I send you a wink instead of an email. I put a lot of effort into my messages so sometimes I send a wink first instead just to gauge interest so as to not waste either of our times. If I wink at you and you return one or email me back, I guarantee you will get a well-written, thought out email ;) I was born and raised in North Central Texas and most of my friends and family still live in the area. I moved to the Austin area in June '06 after graduating from college and I am loving it. I enjoy movies, sports (esp. college football and basketball), music of all kinds, swimming, hiking, tubing, ultimate frisbee, and taking my dog to the dog park. I am laid back and love to laugh and make others laugh. I am not much into the bar scene, but that does not mean that I don't like to have fun whether I am hanging out with friends, going tubing on the river, bodyboarding in the ocean, going to amusement parks or sporting events or concerts, or just spending some quality time at home with a special someone. If you are into the outdoors and looking for adventure let's explore all of Central Texas (and more) together! I do tend to be somewhat of a homebody during the week and I'm not someone that is going to spend every weekend downtown or sitting in a bar (unless it's trivia night!) so if you absolutely can't live without that then we probably won't work out. I don't mind an occasional outing to meet up with some friends, but I'm more of a low-key hang out with my close friends type of person rather than a party-it-up with a bunch of strangers on 6th. I have an older sister that taught me as a teenager the right way to treat a lady...opening doors, buying flowers just because, and just the general respectful manner that all woman should be treated with. So if I'm a little too sweet or gentlemen-ly for you, blame her! :-D I think some girls may see my actions as just a show for that "wooing" stage and not completely sincere, but what you see from me on a first date or in the first few weeks of dating are the same things you will see from me years down the road. I'm definitely a giver and I take pride in making that special someone feel special. I am looking for a mature, down-to-earth girl that knows what they want and not looking to play games and are over the party stage of their life. I want someone that is dating for a purpose. I don't want to rush into anything, but I believe dating without the ultimate goal of working towards a relationship is a waste of time for both people. I want someone that WANTS to be in a relationship and is ready for one when we reach that point. The biggest thing I need from a mate is stability. I don't need a sugar mama, I already have the job, the house, the car, and the dog. :-P I need someone that has their life together and is just missing the last piece of the puzzle...someone that has a job they love and a plan for their future. It doesn't have to be set in stone, but an idea of what they want and the drive to get there is important. When I have a significant other, they become a top priority (aside from family, which all live nearly 300 miles away) and I will do anything and everything I can do to make them happy and show them how I feel. I am a very affectionate person with a lot of love to give and I am not afraid to show it to someone I care about. I give to a relationship the same effort I give to life; I go after it 110% and never look back! I will update with new pictures soon! (Sept 2014).

Fav TV shows would be Big Bang Theory. I miss HIMYM. Loved Breaking Bad. I also enjoy the nerdy science shows (I am an engineer after all). I love almost all music from classical to jazz to rock and alternative to country.
I love movies, sports, and being active outdoors. I'm not much on the party scene. I would rather spend time hanging out with a close group of friends at home or a restaurant than going downtown but I will go out occasionally if the right person asks
Not a lot of reading for pleasure. I got enough of that in high school and college :-D I keep up with the news and sports online and read the occasional magazine or newspaper, but that is about it.

PRLog - Feb. 4, 2014 - CARROLLTON, Texas -- Xterprise LLC (http://www.xterprise.com)
The term 'omnichannel'
According to a ChainLink Research report titled "The ROI for RFID in Retail", attempting to employ omnichannel fulfillment without having clear inventory visibility can be "very bad for business, customer satisfaction, and reputation,"
Xterprise estimates that over 200 stores worldwide are using its Clarity™ software to realize omnichannel strategies today, shipping hundreds of online orders daily from the closest store that has the item in stock. Prior to implementing Clarity™, such a feat was impossible, with no way of knowing whether a particular order could be fulfilled from a particular store or not. Item-level RFID has allowed these stores to save on shipping costs and deliver items to their customers faster than ever before.
According to company President Dean Frew, "With inventory accuracy close to 99%, retailers are finding they can do a lot more with what they already have—if a customer wants to pick up an item they saw online, they can say confidently that the item is in stock. They don't need to worry about shorting the store and creating out-of-stocks on the sales floor, either. All of this comes from the item-level view that Clarity™ delivers."
"Inventory accuracy is the foundation of getting omnichannel right," continued Mr. Frew. "Item-
With retailers like Macy's, Kohl's, and the Gap making headlines for their omnichannel ambitions, it is no coincidence that many of them are testing and moving toward full implementation of item-level RFID in relevant categories at the same time. According to Macy's Chief Omnichannel Officer Robert B. Harrison, "We look at RFID to be a very big part of our future, not just in how we run our business, but also from an omnichannel perspective as well…We are extremely excited about the accuracy it's going to bring to our business, because having the exact quantity of product in the store that we think we have will be a huge sales driver."
Clarity™ can be utilized as an essential part of implementing an omnichannel strategy that works well with existing e-commerce platforms. The same simple functionality used to fulfill online orders in-store can also be tailored to enable sales floor associates to locate items in nearby stores that are not available at their own location, capturing sales that would potentially be lost to competitors without the kind of inventory accuracy Clarity™ provides. Enhanced replenishment at both a store and distribution center level has given retailers increased flexibility in the number of items they carry, back stock levels, and channels they use to deliver a positive customer experience.
About Xterprise: Xterprise was founded in 2002 by Dean Frew and was acquired by SML Group in 2013. The company offers item-level RFID solutions with a focus on brand owners and specialty retailers. Built on top of the Clarity™ software platform, Xterprise applications have been deployed in big box retailers, specialty retailers and brand owners across 100's of sites, utilizing 1,000's of RFID readers and managing hundreds of millions of RFID mission critical inventory transactions every month. Xterprise features two main software products, Clarity Inventory™ and ARS™ (Advanced Retail System); both are item-level RFID inventory control and management execution solutions designed for use within the retail store. Clarity Inventory also has a full suite of supply chain applications to support manufacturing and distribution operations.
Xterprise is based out of Carrollton, TX. The company can be reached via its website at http://www.xterprise.com or by email at email@example.com.

And although Staton is looking forward to parenthood and has already chosen the tot's name, he is scared of the responsibility which comes with being a dad.
Staton tells Us Weekly, "We're very excited. We are pretty sure (on the baby's name), but we also thought we were pretty sure a few weeks ago and it changed, so we are sort of waiting until he is here and we have met him to announce it.
"I have been nervous about dropping babies in the past, but have been told that once it's your baby, you are no longer worried about dropping them. I am nervous that I have a lot to learn... that I won't pick it up fast enough. I think I am doing OK."

Anne's picks of the literature: river and floodplain sediments
These four papers all attempt to understand what controls the sediments that make up the streambed and floodplain and that get preserved in the geologic record. White et al. look at how riffle positions are governed by valley width variations, while Jerolmack and Brzinski find striking similarities in grain size transitions observed in rivers and dune fields. Hart et al. examine the relationship between glacial advances and downstream sediment deposition, while Sambrook Smith et al. investigate the sedimentological record of floods. Continue reading

How careful do we need to be when transferring
dahlias, previously started indoors, to the garden outside? Are they super delicate?
depends on, how pampered they where. If they never got direct sunlight their older leaves might get burnt, but they should produce new ones really fast.
I transferred some Dahlias 2 days ago, about 4-8 inches high, they looked fine yesterday. I had put them on the balcony frequently, when the weather wasnt too cold.
Just mind the slugs, then everything should be fine.
Bye, Lin
They are pretty dang tough. I always bury mien deeper in the ground then I grew them in their starting pots and they looked sad for about a day and the next they looked great.
Hardening off is another subject. Like said above, a few leaves might get burned, but very unlikely you will loose a plant. Just and FYI, if you snap off new growth by accident, try putting it in the ground too, you may get it to root and have more plants!

NBC Executives Dispute Link Between Violent TV Content and Rash of Shootings
With the serial killer drama "Hannibal" on tap for later this year, NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt warns against making "the leap that a show about serial killers has caused violence in our country."
The elementary school massacre in Connecticut has spurred a debate about the level of depravity and violence the entertainment industry markets to audiences. And it is likely to become a theme at the semi-annual Television Critics Association press tour with NBC and Fox introducing midseason dramas that revolve around serial killers.
NBC's Hannibal is based on the books by Thomas Harris and centers on a psychiatrist-turned-killer played by Mads Mikkelson (the villain from James Bond's Casino Royale), and Fox will bow the Kevin Bacon thriller The Following on Jan. 21.
PHOTOS: 18 New Midseason TV Series
"I think it weighs on all of us," NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt told reporters gathered Sunday in Pasadena for the first broadcast network session of the tour. "Most people at this network have children and really care about the shows that we're putting out there. It's always in our mind. This just brought it to the forefront."
Most of the criticism in the wake of the Dec. 14 shooting -- during which 20 6- and 7-year-olds and six teachers and administrators were killed by a suicidal gunman with a semi-automatic rifle -- has centered on violent video games and the National Rifle Association's aggressive lobbying tactics. And Greenblatt noted that broadcast television, unlike cable, is governed by FCC-imposed parameters. "I would look to movies and, dare I say, video games," he said.
Greenblatt, who developed the serial-killer drama Dexter while head of Showtime, admitted that cable content is "no holds barred." But he questioned a causal link between violent television and violent behavior.
"I'm not a psychologist," he said. "So I'm not sure you can make the leap that a show about serial killers has caused violence in our country. There are many other factors including mental illness and guns."
Greenblatt also took a swipe at Criminal Minds, saying the CBS drama "is worse than Dexter ever was." And NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke defended Hannibal, saying it's not a "shoot-'em-up show." She added that the network constantly assesses the content on series including Law & Order: SVU, which centers on sex crimes, and noted that NBC is not necessarily trolling for violent programming.
"We're not out there saying, 'Can we get some more serial-killer shows because we really love this Hannibal one'?"

Ravenel nixes political comeback
Thomas Ravenel -- the Charleston Republican who resigned as state treasurer after pleading guilty to a 2007 drug charge -- is taking a pass on a political comeback.
He announced on his Facebook page Friday that he will not run for the congressional that opened with Tim Scott appointment to the U.S senate.
"The timing and also the already strong lineup of candidates seeking the SC 1st Congressional seat does not present me with a viable opportunity to re-engage in public life," he wrote.
Ravenel added without revealing a name: "I know there's someone else better prepared to fight for our natural rights in Washington."

This weekend we saw one of our first upper level low pressure systems, which are notorious for bringing the sun-breaks and heavy showers during springtime. These systems usually carry a pool of very cold air in the upper levels of the atmosphere. When this cold air moves over rising warm air from the ground, combined with moisture and sunlight, you have the basic ingredients for thunderstorms.
That's what the forecast is calling for on Monday. A large suspended pool of cold air associated with an upper level low can be seen off the Oregon coast over the water, and is defined by the spotty white cumulus clouds and storms within it.
This system will move into the region on Monday afternoon, and will result in an unstable atmosphere (where warm rising air moves into colder air above). The instability and the apparent sunshine that will be available should be enough to spark thunderstorms. These storms may be capable of producing small hail, heavy downpours, thunder, and lightning. Keep updated here for short term forecast information.
Following this storm producing system, mostly dry weather will resume on Tuesday accompanied by more comfortable temperatures in the upper 50s. A less potent disturbance arrives during the mid-week which will make for a decently soggy Wednesday.
Afterwards, a strong hill of high pressure will possibly build warm and clear weather across the region on Thursday and Friday. However, the National Weather Service seem to be suspicious of this, as shown in their forecast discussion:
This weekend I took a mini-vacation to Vancouver BC, and was unable to update the blog. Upon my departure, the weather in Seattle was forecast to be rainy on Saturday, with a transition period on Sunday; a reasonably straightforward situation that we've seen numerous times this season, or so I thought.
When I checked the radar on Sunday, it became obvious that Mother Nature had thrown a curve-ball at the Northwest, and even the forecasters had been duped. By the end of the day on Sunday, the rain totals at Sea-Tac Airport topped out at 2.20″ which broke the previous record for March 15th (1.20″ back in 1972.
Some information in this post references information used by UW Professor Cliff Mass' in his blog about the event. Check out his summary!
There were a combination of factors that came into play that made this rain event particularly impactful and unpredictable. The weather models run on Friday were certain that an atmospheric river (a river of suspended water transported over thousands of miles, usually from sub-tropical regions) would form over the weekend and drop rain in the Northwest.
What the weather models had a tougher time figuring out was how the embedded surface low pressure (circulating area of low pressure at the surface which usually causes strong winds in their paths) was going to behave. On Friday, the forecast models predicted the low pressure to hit central/southern Oregon with moderate rain and winds; nothing extraordinary.
However, what actually happened on Sunday was vastly different from Friday's forecast. The low pressure system, combined with the atmospheric river strengthened significantly, and smacked into western Washington, and Oregon hard. Rain poured relentlessly for nearly ten hours, while the low pressure pounded Portland and other areas with damaging high winds.
As if this wasn't overwhelming enough, an epic 19″ of snow fell on Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic Peninsula in 24 hours.
In conclusion, this event highlights the weaknesses that are involved in current weather forecasting. There are many situations that the weather models handle very well, but we must be wary of the vulnerabilities of the current computer systems, and observation data. The atmosphere is a very delicate and complex system, and the best thing humans can do in these situations is to learn from our mistakes and improve the art and science of forecasting.
Looking ahead, a mixed variety bag of weather is in the works for the region. A weak system is traversing through with clouds and a few spot showers on Tuesday, setting up for a pleasant transitional period on Wednesday with highs in the 60s.
Rain returns on Thursday as we tap into another little atmospheric river and gear up for a rainy Friday and a showery Saturday. Clearing is expected by Sunday.
Enjoy your week, and happy St. Patricks Day!
My claim of the " the return of winter" in my last article may have been slightly premature or unwarranted. After a few chilly nighttime lows dipping into the 30s, it appears that for the foreseeable future, cold weather is long gone from the Pacific Northwest.
This weekend has been the pinnacle of an unseasonable warm and dry spell.
Tee-shirt weather has been in full effect this weekend, but temperatures will gradually decrease as our dream weather starts to deteriorate. A soppy system will drop some rain towards the middle of the week, and then again next weekend. However, temperatures will still remain comfortable.
Stronger Spring Storms Due to Warmer Temps?
As we approach springtime, we also approach spring storm time. You may remember in one of my articles last year, I referenced one of UW Professor Cliff Mass' articles about how springtime around here is the most atmospherically unstable. This is due to the coldest air in the upper levels of the atmosphere during this time of year.
This will be interesting because while we are forecast to have below normal precipitation in the coming weeks and months, the forecast of above average temperatures might make for some stronger thunderstorms this spring season in the Northwest.
All we need is an upper level low pressure system to drift onshore combined with some accompanying moisture, and above average surface temperatures to spark some strong storms. While this formula isn't exactly common up here, I'll certainly be watching for it.
Have a good weekend, and enjoy the lovely weather!
This article, I'm going to briefly describe the forecast for the next few days, and then go over the topics discussed during the Pacific Northwest Weather Workshop.
The weather patterns are beginning to shift, and Winter is returning with a vengeance.
An upper level low pressure system traversed the region from the north on Thursday (2-26) which not only led to some heavier rain showers throughout the night, but will also lead to the onset of a rather potent cold spell in the days to come.
Cold air will come spilling through the Frasier River Valley and the gaps in the Cascade mountains in the weekend. Near freezing temperatures will rapidly begin to take hold during the nights, while the daytime highs will reach the upper 40s. Lows in the 20s are even possible by the middle of the week.
Pacific Northwest Weather Workshop 2015
This was the first time I've been to the Northwest Weather Workshop. I didn't know much about it other than that Cliff Mass had been advertising it on his blog for the last month or so.
I arrived and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of people who came from every walk of life from all over the western US. I met lawyers, retail executives, chemists, medical doctors, and of course meteorologists and atmospheric scientists; all enthusiasts who love the weather.
The talks were 12 minutes each, and very diverse in the range of topics that they covered. Some talks were emotional in nature, and some talks focused purely on the science involved. Here is a description of some the topics that popped out to me the most! The National Weather Service will be releasing the full video of the talks and when that is rendered, I will post the link to it for all to see!
The first topic that was introduced was obviously the SR-530 Oso, WA Landslide. This catastrophic and tragic event was covered in detail from multiple angles. Ted Buehner and Brent Bower (NWS Meteorologists) went in depth into the heavy rain events before the slide, and the Geology and Hydrology that came together to create the conditions that caused the slide to occur. Then, the event was described from the response and recovery perspective from Incident Meteorologist Andy Haner, Emergency Manager Heather Kelly, and Emergency Director John Pennington.
The next big topic discussed in length was models, models…and more models. The computer generated forecast models that forecasters and researchers use to simulate the atmosphere on high powered super computers were the primary discussion by many scientists, forecasters and students throughout the event. Cliff Mass discussed the upgrades and changes to the UW WRF-MM5 model that I use frequently use when looking at the short term and long range forecasts. There were a number of upgrades that have already been initiated that will make huge differences in forecast accuracy. Such changes will be: new computer components, upgraded land-surface models (essentially, how the model simulates the interaction between different features on the surface such as snow and vegetation with the atmosphere) as well as a future plan to improve the graphics of the model, and integrate it with Google Maps. This is exciting stuff for me!!
Scientists from the University of British Columbia talked about their in-house weather models that they've upgraded. There were several talks that went into researching different effects when various parameters are changed or fabricated to experiment with different results from the model outputs.
There was a session dedicated to Fire Weather that included talks about forecasting smoke plumes in Canada, and the thunderstorms that sparked the large and destructive Carlton Complex Fire in 2014.
My most favorite part of the Workshop was the "Year in Review" time lapse compilation that was captured and presented by Greg Johnson from Skunkbayweather.com. This video in my opinion, perfectly portrays the passion that all of us weather enthusiasts have. Research and data is immensely important for the understanding and future of weather and climate forecasting, but nothing can intrigue and captivate as much as seeing the beauty and wonder of nature in action…especially when set to music! Here's a link to the video!
Over all, the Workshop was an enlightening experience, and I can't wait to go again next year!
You may have noticed that this Winter has been wet and well above the normal temperatures. You may have even given up all hope for a normal Winter and accepted that Winter is already over. Well, not so fast!
Spring doesn't officially start until March 20th and Nature is here to remind us that. The computer models are finally signaling a shift in the weather pattern coming soon. By this weekend a cold air mass will begin intruding towards western Washington, butting up against the eastern Cascade peaks.
The result will still be milder than usual with highs in the mid 50s. Night-time lows will drop down into the 30s through the weekend, giving us a little taste of winter. The snow level will drop enough that some ski areas in our mountains might make up a little bit of snow, however likely not enough to replenish the historical lack of snow this season.
Next week will be mostly dry, maintaining mild temperatures.
If you're interested in learning about the weather or meeting others interested in weather in our region, be sure to check out the Pacific Northwest Weather Workshop being held at the National Weather Service in Sandpoint on Feb. 27-28! If you can't visit, then you can catch up on all the topics discussed when I write up an article about it when it's over.
There seems to be nothing Winter-like about this Winter! I suppose we've skipped Winter and jumped straight into Spring because there's hardly any snow in the mountains (15″ on Snoqualmie) and we've hit multiple high temperature records this season. Continue reading
It's pretty stormy out there! Heavy rain and winds peaking in the low 40mph occurred Friday morning and more heavy rain and wind has been the story for Saturday as well. The cause is yet another strong atmospheric river setup bringing in loads of warm tropical moisture. Continue reading
Happy Friday evening everyone! Thick fog is blanketing the region right now, and the KOMO Air 4 Helicopter captured some AMAZING images from above Seattle as the sun set. Continue reading
Hey there! We're going to start going through some fairly dramatic weather changes in the next few days so I'll fill you in on the details. Continue reading
Good Friday evening everyone! Mother nature sure must hate weekends, because we're going to get slammed with heavy rain and blustery winds this Saturday and Sunday. Continue reading

The Melodic
Vikesh Kapoor, Bird Courage
North Star Bar
2639 Poplar St
Philadelphia, PA, 19130
This event is 21 and over
English afro-folk-pop ensemble The Melodic will release their debut album Effra Parade this November 5th via Anti-. It is the follow up to the band's acclaimed EP On My Way. English newspaper The Observer described The Melodic as "Incredibly beautiful, with harmonies and rich instrumentation that make you want to dance and cry at the same time," while in the US the band has drawn comparisons to indie darlings Beirut and The Decemberists.
The Melodic are a quietly radical band. This is the first young English group to lionize Chilean neo-folk rebel Victor Jara since Sandinista-era Clash. Their new album Effra Parade was self-recorded in a sound-proofed bedroom in South London over several years with a baroque line-up of 18 instruments. All the more impressive when you consider they are still in their early twenties.
Three years ago, Vikesh Kapoor performed at Howard Zinn's memorial service in Boston, in front of Zinn's family and colleagues (including Noam Chomsky). Inspired by Zinn's lifelong battle against class/race injustice, Kapoor spent the next two years in Portland working on a concept record based on a related newspaper article. His debut album, The Ballad Of Willy Robbins, out this Fall, chronicles the brutal but hopeful story of a working class man who slowly loses everything: ambitions, health, family, shelter. The album was co-produced by Adam Selzer (M. Ward) and features stellar participation from Nate Query (Decemberists, Black Prairie), Jeff Ratner (Langhorne Slim) and Birger Olsen (Denver).
Bird Courage met in dark spaces under New York City and together are now forging a new pastoral-astral sound that comes from the heart, the land, and the stars.
It was in a dark, smoke-filled basement in Brooklyn that Erik, Sam, and I met through our songs. Whatever it is that we wanted to give people through music, we heard instantly and recognized in one another's voices, and since our first group hug we've been focusing all of our energies into the songs that we want to sing to real people -- to look one another in the eye, and to exchange glances into one another's hearts.

Interview: Steven "Doc" List About Open Spaces
In this interview made by InfoQ's Greg Young, Steven "Doc" List talks about Open Space conferences, a way of running meetings of groups of various sizes by facilitating self organizing the sessions.
Watch: Steven "Doc" List About Open Spaces (10 min)
Steven presents Open Space conferences as:
Open Spaces have become the way to create clever, different, creative solutions that doesn't involve sitting in preplanned agenda driven talking head presentations.
It's perfect because the attendees get to choose what is going to be discussed.
The nature of this [Open Space] is such that it's not really about presentations so much is conversations and so what you get is people who are more invested, more engaged and have more energy about it. In fact two of the buzz words in Open Space are "passion" and "responsibility".
Open Spaces have four principles and one law, according to Steven:
- Whoever comes is the right people
- Whatever happens is the only thing that could have
- When it starts it's the right time
- When it's over, it's over.
The law of two feet: if at any time you feel like you are not learning or contributing in those current circumstances, go somewhere else; it could be the hallway, it could be another session, it could be go and get a cup of coffee.
Steven also explains the role of an Open Space facilitator which "is to be present without being intrusive. So when I say 'invisible presence', I am there all the time, people know that they can find me for whatever is needed".

Hey all. Probably a stupid question, but I will ask it anyway. Im kinda confused a bit as Im gearing up here. I know that agil is and has always been our biggest stat. What confuses me is the other stats. I know most consider mastery pretty important after hit/expertise cap, and that is pretty much how I have always tried to go. Here is my question though: when gearing, at what point to you use a higer level piece of gear with more agility, but with no mastery on it.
For example. I just picked up the tier gloves in lfr. They have about 100 more agil on them once I gem red, but I will lose over 500 mastery by replacing my murders gloves with the tier. Is it worth it to use an item with 100 more agil if I lose that much mastery???
Another example: I currently have Quadra-head broach on my neck from lfr. I was thinking of buying the flankers battle tags because that will give quite a bit more agility, but again, it will also cost me quite a bit of mastery if I do that!! It seems there are quite a few other options as well that I can increase my agility substantially, but at the cost of losing mastery. Just seems like much of the gear lately has hit and haste on it....which I really don't need
Again, sorry if this is a dumb question, but I am not quite sure what to do here. I do alot of practicing on the dummies, but it seems like it is sooooo different every time, and I can't really get any conclusive data that proves one way is better than the other. im not very good at simming either....so I dunno???
What does everyone else think, or has anyone tested in this area?? Is it wise to go for higer agil items even if the stats arent that great?
Thanx in advance

Hit to cap..Expertise to cap
Stats may slightly change in weight due to talent selections. Incarnation v. DOS. But, at least in my view, Incarnation is a better choice overall.
As for your gear issue. A slight increase in agility isn't going to make a huge difference when your getting gear. But if its a large increase, yes, take it...you can always reforge less useful stats away. So for example, if you get a peice of gear which has high agility but has haste and crit. You can reforge the haste > mastery. Problem solved. Looking at your gear it doesn't appear that you have reforged ANYTHING, ever.
You probably need to make sure your hit/exp is capped before you start reforging into mastery. You will see your dps go up btw. Also: http://elitistjerks.com/f73/t130906-feral_cat_mists_pandaria_5_2_a/#Stats
Edited by Goonq on 4/7/2013 10:26 AM PDT
Thanx for the reply. I actually have quite a bit of my gear reforged, and everytime I get a new piece of gear, I run it through reforgelite to get my hit cap to 7.5, with mastery as next priority, then crit.
Thanx for the link....pretty much explains what I wanted to know.
much appreciated!!!
Edited by Silvertyp on 4/7/2013 10:45 AM PDT
in general, getting a higher itemlevel is always better than searching for specific stats.. especially for ferals since all the stats are relatively close to eachother with mastery slightly ahead
Only exception could be trinkets, depending on their procs etc :P
Also, just wanted to add that for PvE Incarnation is worse than SotF. For PvP Incarnation is great though.

While this isn't bad in theory up until now things may change with gear. Especially with the introduction of more RPPM items (trinkets/legendary meta) that have a direct increase in value with more haste. Or, like in my case, I have mastery/crit/haste very close to each other to maximize the value of my trinket proc.
Also, just wanted to add that for PvE Incarnation is worse than SotF. For PvP Incarnation is great though.
Why do you disagree? The extra energy from SotF makes for more sustained dps rather than small windows of burst damage every 3 minutes. Out of curiosity, how much dps are you pulling usually on fights with Incarnation instead of SotF. Also, getting hit and expertise to cap is very important for smoothing out the rotation primarily. While I have seen some simulations show that being up to 1% under might be a theoretical dps increase it is always a fairly minor increase and you run the chance of missing an ability at a key time and thus losing more than you would have gained.
90 Tauren Druid
agility is worth about 3 times as much damage as other secondary stats for feral.
100 Worgen Druid
Run your character through SimulationCraft (perhaps doing a reforge plot for secondary stats) and you will be able to answer all your own questions :)
100 Night Elf Druid
compares all nicely, and in one place. Not my work.
Id like to point out the clear result that SotF > FoN > Inc.
100 Night Elf Druid
Hit to cap..Expertise to cap
Not sure why you disagree with Hit/Expertise capping and Incarnation not being worse than SotF. Incarnation in PVE is only useful the first use when a boss/mob is over 80% health, after that it's considerably weaker than SotF.

light distance from plants
I am growing some nepenthes highlanders in a 30-gallon terrarium, and many are not pitchering. My pilosa x veitchii hybrid is actually pitchering nicely now, but my tentaculata has just produced a pathetically small pitcher with an undersized lid. I think this is because of light, because the plants are about 12 inches away. Does anyone know any good techniques to get plants closer to grow lights?
Hello nepenthesfreak_2007,
What types of light do you have, how many, and do you have the plants in pots sitting in the terrarium or in soil directly in the terrarium?
If you can't bring the plant closer to the light directly, then you can make more light or invest in some really good reflectors along the sides of the terrarium and light to direct as much in to your plants as possible. I have my Nepenthes 5-6 inches from four 40 watt cool white flourescent tubes (12000 lumens) for 16 hour of photoperiod and no terrarium. Maybe you can add another light to your setup to increase the intensity or place it near a window that receives some indirect sun so it does not overheat yet gets that extra amount of light.
With the setup I described, this N. sanguinea pitchers continuously from every new leaf and it's newest leaves and pitchers are growing much larger and more quickly. No fertilizer and only household humidity present. (In your case, the terrarium is necessary for those highlanders with humidity and temperature requirements).
This pitcher is still not opening, however, is swelling larger than the last 3 1/2 inch pitcher and developing it's mottled red coloring.
As you noticed with your light, the intensity drops off rather quickly with every inch the plants are from the bulb. The only thing to do is place more bulbs or bring the plants closer or add reflectors where possible so far as I can think of.
Good growing with those highlanders.
I have two light fixtures: I bought one off another hobbyist, and it came with a two bulbs, I'm not sure of the wattage. The other fixture is 18" long and I used to have it on my 10 - gallon. It worked just fine for the plants there, but they were much closer. I will consider getting new bulbs for the larger one, since the current ones don't seem too bright. I could also use an extra layer of sphagnum moss on the bottom of the terrarium to get them closer to the lights.Would this stuff work, and What's a good reflective material for terrariums? Thanks for all the help.
I have heard of reflectors that were just white painted metal panels, like the two inch ones on many shop light sides. Just make a bigger one and put it on the back and sides of the terrarium. You could also use any material that reflects light, like mirrors and aluminum foil, in the same way I would think. The terrarium glass probably reflects some light inward too, but not all of it certainly. If you use any metallic reflectors, it would probably be best to place them outside the glass to reduce incidence of mineral buildup near the plants if any of the metals might be toxic to carnivores.
Best bet would actually be trying to get more intense lights and bring the light closer somehow. Building up the moss in the terrarium sounds like a good idea too.
I just added an extra layer of sphagnum in my terrarium, and the plants are now about 8" away from the lights. I can notice a HUGE difference in the amount of light on the plants. I actually have a mirror right behind the terrarium, so I will definitely take advantage of that!
Thanks again for all the help, and hopefully I'll be getting some pitchers this month.
