For this week's "staycation," pack some tapas, grab a bottle of tempranillo, head to the Cahuenga Pass and pretend it's Spain as Forever Flamenco, the Fountain Theatre's popular, long-running flamenco series goes al fresco for one night only. For Forever Flamenco: L.A. Olé, producers Deborah Lawlor and Bennett Bradley have assembled a dream team of series regulars and guest artists from Spain. Look for dancers Antonio Granjero, Roberto Amaral, Timo Nunez, Briseyda Zarate, Genevieve Guinn (La Genoveva) and Fanny Ara. Artistic director and guitarist Antonio Triana is joined by Ricardo Marlow along with singers Jesus Montoya and El Yiyi and possibly other special guests.

ladies pregnant or have been pregnant at 35 years of age or older.
im just curious with ladies who have been pregnant at 35 or older.
i have 3 children and considering maybe hving another child. i need to lose alot of weight at the moment and want to sort that out before trying again. im 34 at the moment , 35 in november.
after talking to a friend today who said shes pregnant, shes 35, she said her blood tests came back as possible downs syndrome so had to have that test ( sory forgot the name of it) where they put the need through your tummy. all came back ok for her.
anyway she said that your bllod can come back high once you hit around 35 and they do more tests on you when you are older.
is this true? what tests do they do because your older?
i thought the blood tests were higher risk if you were 40 plus.
now im not worried about if theres a chance of downs syndrome because i would still have my baby no matter what, but im more horrified that i need to have more tests and actualy makes me think twice. i dont like being poked and prodded anyway during pregnancy so the thought id need more tests because im 35 plus annoys me.
can any1 give me any answers on this? thank you
Hi Tracy
im 39 and 20 weeks pregnant ive had nothing different done to what i had done when i was pregnant in my early 30's
i have had the blood tests done for downs and spina bifida and have come back low risk i was expecting it to come back high but it hasnt . so i think its not just age its other factors too that can make you high risk
forgot to add in the pregnancy and due date clues there is a club for older moms and most of theres have come back low risk x
I was 35 when i was pregnant with my last baby i didn't feel like i was offered more tests from my previous 2 pregnancies I was offered the amnio test for downs but declinded it as i felt the results wouldn't have made any difference to me continuing with the pregnancy, they did show my a chart which showed the % of having a chile with downs at differnt ages and it does increase a lot when you hit 35 but i didnt feel like i was poked and prodded any more this time than before.
Hi, my last pregnancy was when i was 36 and it was the same regards tests as my previous pregnancies when I was in my early twenties. As previous poster said, there are lots of factors not just age. Mine came back as low risk. However I went on to have twins, which I did not know your risk of having twins increases with age!!!
Don't let that put you off, having twins was the best thing that has ever happened to me.
I was 35 when pg with dd1, I declined all the tests and dd was born safe and healthy. I was 38 when pg with dd2 and same as before declined all the tests.dd2 also born safe and healthy. Didn't get pressured by mw etc. I was monitored closely with both pregnancies but that was because I have an underactive thyroid and had to have my bloods done every 4 weeks.
There is a greater risk the older you are, and I was told by mw about the risk of twins the older you are as you release more eggs as you get ready for the menopauseLast edited by Meg M(8); 05-07-10 at 22:21.
Hi, I am 38 with a 6 month old girl. She was my first pregnancy and I was treated as low risk all the way through. No extra tests were offered, as apart from my age they were not concerned about anything else.
However, a newborn at age 38 feels like it is harder work than it might have been when I was in my 20's, but I'm still seriously considering number 2!
I had DC4 at 40 and DC5 at 42. I declined all the additional tests.
I just wondered if you are going to go ahead with the pregnancy why you would have the tests? I think it can cause a lot of stress once you have them if the results are even slightly raised. You then have to make decisions about further, more invasive tests.
I really hope that came across as I meant it. Its not judgemental or telling you what to do.
I was also classed as low risk with my prgs.
thanks you for all those replies
,makes me feel alot better.
can i just ask, if for instance i got pregnant and my bloods came back high, can they find out at the detailed scan if your baby has SB or DS? my friend said they can tell you at your scan about that but she wanted the other test instead. i know i would refuse the needle in the tummy thing. id possily have the bloods but not the further test.
twins my god i already have 3 2 boys and a girl
I was preg with Yasmin at 35, no problems at all, I was shown a chart table, based on potential issues for ages of being preg, and being 35 there was no real concern
I am hoping to have another child now, at 38, fingers crossed...
here are some stats that I found
It is well-known that older women have a higher chance of having a baby with a genetic abnormality, such as Down's syndrome, Edwards' syndrome or Patau's syndrome. Figures for England and Wales show that your chance of having a baby with a genetic abnormality rises from 1 in 500 between the ages of 35-39, to 1 in 250 between 40-44, up to approximately 1 in 70 if you are 45 or over
yes i would go on to have my baby. i couldnt abort my baby because of those reasons. though i would never judge any1 who did.
i suppose i see those tests of a little bit of info about your child and if there is going to be something a little different about your baby then theres no harm in knowing i suppose.
though i wouldnt have the needle through your tummy test. if mine came back high then id just try and deal with that if they cant see it on a detailed scan.
i really hate being messed about with when pregant i cant stand people touching me drives me insane and that includes labour which yes if fund and interesting
thanks for that michelle the figures arnt as bad as i thoght they are really.
ok here another 1.
any of you ladies had a baby in their 20's then gone on to have a child in their 30's? and if so did you find it harder the older you were being pregnant and caring for your children?
i had my 1st at 21, my 2nd at 27, and my 3rd at 32.
my 1st preg was a breeze, caring for him was ok but a breeze compared to my other 2 .
my last pregnancy was terrible but it hink that was more to do with the fact im over weight.
i think with the scan they can look for downs pointers like the nasel bone and plus at the 12 week scan some hospitals offer the nuchel fold test which measure the gap at the back of the neck if its over a certain size they give you a risk factor but the only sure way of know is the amnio or cvs test x
Hi, I was 35, 38 and 39 when I had my three and the standard tests I had were all the same as my younger friends.
The risk of Downs seemed to shoot up with my final pregnancy so I had a nucal scan which is a non-invasive test at about 14 weeks I think (it was a while ago!) where they look for a number of features that Downs babies tend to have e.g. extra fluid at the back of the neck, absence of/small nose bone. I also had a blood test. The combination of those tests came back low risk. I had the test done privately but I believe it is now available on the NHS here.
I just wanted to be forewarned if there might be a problem.
had first at 32 second at 34 i have got more tired with each pregnancy but think thats only coz with my 1st on maternity leave i could just chill with 2nd had a toddler to look after and with this one have 2 kids to look after school runs and a job so dont think its my age that im more tired its everything else thats going on . as for caring for them 1st was a breeze like yours 2nd was harder coz she was always crabby lol she still is thats why we call her crabby Abi pmsl but think thats just the way she is im hoping this one takes after my 1st and is more chilled fingers crossed
Had ds at 20, dd at 22, and dd at 34
Wasn't offered extra tests with the 3rd,but was classed as a 1st time pregnancy, medically and attitude wise cos of the big gap
Last pregnancy was hard though. I got pre-exclamsia(sp), and had emergency section, but I think just unlucky
Go for it I say xxx
i had Kaytlyn wen i was 38,,, she is now almost 5,,,
being pg with her was very very different than with my two boys
a, i was diabetic by the time i got pg with her
b, i already had a child who has Downs (had him wen i was 29)
i refused all tests ,,, even though i felt like i was being pressured into avin them done,,, cuz of Lucas,,,
i had to have fortnightly scans ,,, bt that was cuz of the diabetes not my age
liz xx
Tracy I had Lauren at 18 then had Robert at 30 and Liv at 34. Had an easy pregnancy with Lauren and same with Robert although did get pre eclampsia at the end but didn't feel ill at all with it, had difficult labours & deliveries tho. With Olivia the pregnancy was harder, had quite a few water infections & morning sickness buit an easy quick labour & delivery
I had my first at 29 and my second at 36. I was considered low risk for both pregnancies and both babies were born healthy.
It's definitely harder the older you get but on the plus side, you have years of experience to fall back on. I will never forget coming out of hospital with DD1, taking her home, putting her in the moses basket and looking at her thinking 'now what???' I couldn't believe they had let me take this little baby home with me, I didn't have any experience of newborns and it was quite scary at the time. Second time around I was much more confident in my abilities that it helped overcome the fact that I was so damn tired all the time!!
Hi I had my children at 25,26,28, 33 and am about to have another when I will be almost 36. I will be honest and say that the first three I had in 2 and a half years were relatively easy as they were all roughly at the same stage. My last child was more difficult not in terms of pregnancy, but in the fact that I was rushing around doing school runs with the other three which naturally make you more tired. I feel ok this time round but time will tell as I have three of school age and a little boy who has just turned two and is into everything! I'm sure I will have days where I'm shattered and other days when I am on top of the world, but to be honest I wouldn't have it any other way xx

SF Police Face Potential Federal Investigation Concerning Death of Amilcar Perez-Lopez In San Francisco tonight, a vigil and march is to be held on Folsom and 24th Street for Amilcar Perez-Lopez, starting at 6pm. Amilcar Perez-Lopez was a 20 year old Guatemalan immigrant shot and killed by San Francisco police on February 26th. A federal civil lawsuit was filed this morning against Police Chief Greg Suhr, the city and county of San Francisco, and the two officers involved in the shooting. The lawsuit alleges that Perez-Lopez was wrongfully killed. The attorneys representing Perez-Lopez are also calling for a federal investigation. Armenian Genocide Centennial is Observed in Fresno | Armenians around the world today are commemorating the 100th anniversary of the genocide in Turkey that killed 1.5 million people and dispersed another half-million Armenians into the diaspora. President Obama earlier this week refused to use the term "genocide" as he and past Presidents have. In 2008 Obama made a campaign promise to recognize the genocide for what it was, but said he deplored the mass murders that took place between 1915 and 1923. Twenty nations have already done so. Recently Pope Francis, the nation of Germany and the European Parliament all officially acknowledged the genocide and urged Turkey to come to come to terms with it. In Fresno and other cities with large Armenian-American populations, many activities have been taking place to commemorate the centennial. Pacifica's Vic Bedoian reports from Fresno. Wage Theft Bill Introduced in Legislature | Democratic senate leader Kevin de Leon has introduced legislation aimed at ending wage theft. He says billions of dollars are siphoned out of California's economy each year by companies that pay workers less than the minimum or violate overtime and other wage laws. The legislation is supported by unions and organizations that backed a similar measure last year but failed to pass out of the legislature. Christopher Martinez reports. Utah Earth Week Events Protest Environmental Threats to Wilderness | Environmental advocates and Tribal leaders from around the Southwest are gathering in Moab, Utah this week for meetings and actions to confront pollution from growing energy development in the Colorado River Watershed. Earth Week activities are being organized this weekend to bring multiple environmental threats to the attention of tourists, local residents and government officials. Pacifica's Vic Bedoian reports. Controversial Immunization Bill Wins Key Senate Vote | A state senate committee has voted overwhelmingly to approve a bill to strengthen vaccination requirements for school children. The vote in the Senate Education Committee comes a week after senators in the same committee said they were worried the bill would deny education to unvaccinated children. After last weeks hearing, democratic senator Richard Pan of Sacramento amended his bill to exempt home-schooled children, and a senator opposed to the measure was replaced by a supporter on the committee. Christopher Martinez reports from Sacramento.

Chunky homemade blue cheese dressing steals the show in this delicious combination of heirloom lettuces, caramelized pears and toasted pecans.
If you prefer, romaine makes a good substitute for heirloom lettuce because it stands up well to the bold dressing.
4 Servings
pears (slightly shy of ripe)
1 unknown
juice of 1 fresh lemon
3 Tbsp
¼ tsp
ground star anise
2 Tbsp
unsalted butter
7 oz
Earthbound Farm Petites Lettuce Leaves
4 oz
crumbled blue cheese (preferably Roquefort)
⅔ cup
1 Tbsp
fresh lemon juice
1 ½ tsp
freshly ground pepper
¾ tsp
¼ tsp
clove garlic (finely minced)
⅓ cup
3 dash
Tabasco Sauce (to taste)
Peel the pears and rub them with lemon juice. Cut the pears in half through the stem end and remove the cores with a small spoon. Rub with more lemon juice. Cut each pear half into 4 wedges, so that you have a total of 16 wedges.
Combine the sugar and star anise in a small bowl and stir to blend.
Melt the butter in a skillet that is large enough to hold the pears in a single layer without crowding (alternately, use 2 pans or cook them in batches) over medium heat. Arrange the pears in the skillet and raise the heat to medium-high. Sprinkle the pears with half of the sugar and cook until the bottoms begin to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip the pears, sprinkle with the remaining sugar, and cook until the second side is caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the wedges to a plate and let them cool.
To make the dressing, place the blue cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, pepper, salt, sugar and garlic in a small bowl and stir to blend. Whisk in the buttermilk. Add Tabasco to taste. The dressing can be refrigerated, covered, for up to 2 weeks.
Assemble the salad by placing the lettuce leaves, either whole or broken into pieces, in a large bowl. Add some of the dressing and toss to coat the leaves, adding more as desired.
Divide the greens among 4 plates. Arrange 4 pear wedges on top of each mound of greens and sprinkle with the pecans. Lightly drizzle some of the dressing over the pears and serve immediately.

How to attract luck at gambling
Gambling and luck spells
Gambling is a fun! But, out of the fun, some people want to make serious money from it. Well, there are so many cases, people become millionaire from gambling. So, if you want to be a millionaire in a quick time, with a little effort of brain, and support of good luck, gambling is the best way to do it. But, every game that involves huge amount of luck has some pros and cons. Like many mediocre to millionaire, gambling also turned a curse for so many people. Due to the addition to this game, many people lost huge money, and even their property. So, luck is the biggest factor over here.
If you can take hold of your luck with some magical things, then nothing can be better than this. Wicca and witch-cult has so many things in their bag to offer us. With the magical spells, you can be endowed with sheer luck that would help you to make money from gambling, horse race, lottery, etc. There are some certain spells and rituals available in Wiccan theory, which can work very effectively and efficiently to make things work in your way. Wicca is a magic, but not black magic. It is completely white and a boon for the mankind.
There is nothing mischievous in Wiccan Spells. However, erroneous use of the spells may cause some damage, to some extent. Thus, you should be careful, when you are casting spells. If you do not have that much confident to cast a spell by your own, then hire an experienced spell caster. The things that you have to do, is pretty easy though! With some simple rituals and a magical spell, you can spin the bottle of good luck in your way. Are you ready to learn the spells? Well, then have a glance on the whole modus operandi:
To perform the luck spells and rituals, to bring out the good luck charm, you must have a few items at your hand. These are:
- Irish Moss
- Coriopsis
- Alfalfa
- Cinnamon Chips
- Chamomile
- Calendula
- Allspice Berries
What are these? Actually these are herbs. In Wicca, few herbs are identified to have magical values. These herbs are extremely fruitful for a fast good luck charm. In fact, if you have some curse on yourself, they can eliminate that too. Often evil curses are identified as the influencing factor for bad luck. All you need to do is to blend these herbs together. While keeping the mixture into the hand, read out blessing potion loudly. This will give you some positive energy. Soon, you will find that your luck is turning around.

The fact is, you've changed. Like it or not, maybe you're the one having a hard time hearing the truth. I wasn't lying. There have been conversations about your change in demeanor, and attitude. What's wrong bro? You need a hug?
Speaking of changing, I remember when a guy named Mr. Flopnuts was campaigning to become a mod on a platform of minimalist moderation in the ChiefsPlanet tradition. Now, you're one of the more activist mods we have and apparently you've decided to apply your wisdom to the previously lightly moderated DC. You're not the guy you claimed to be. You're a guy who's imposing his own view of morality on the board, thinking that you're making it better when really you're just making it a little more like every other moderated board on the internet. We were fine the way we were when it took explicit racism, the most egregious racial slurs, wildly out-of-control spamming or posting porn to get kicked.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Blended family, bending finances
Non-traditional families merge households and money
It took Natalie Bell two years to come around before she would go out on a date with her fiancé, Michal Jarzyna. A single mom with two daughters, the 38-year-old human resources manager owned a home and had been used to getting by nicely on her own.
"I was kind of like 'Hmmm, bachelor has no worries and parties all the time. I don't want none of that,' but somehow he convinced me," she says with a laugh.
That was six years ago. Now, the couple have five years of living together under their belts, recently bought a new house in Sage Creek and have a child together.
Life is good.
But it wasn't without its adjustments, especially when it came to merging their finances.
"I am extremely independent and have been for quite some time, so to share my finances with someone was very difficult," says Bell, who blogs about her blended family among other issues on Pegcitylovely.com.
"For him to come in when we first moved in together and to hear, 'Now my bills are also your bills and your bills are my bills' was interesting... it wasn't difficult because we talked a lot about it, but we definitely had to adjust."
Like many other Canadian families, Bell, Jarzyna and their children do not fit the traditional mould of the nuclear family where a couple get married, buy a home and have children.
They're a blended family, and according to a recent survey by TD Bank, they're in good company. As many as one in five Canadians lives in a blended household.
And one of the biggest challenges for many merging families is blending finances, says Crystal Wong, a senior regional manager for financial planning for TD.
"It's more than just having a joint bank account together."
While it's often tempting to avoid baring it all when it comes to the income, expenses, debts and assets, sharing information is as essential to success as sharing cash, Wong says.
With that in mind, the best first step is often developing a budget statement that shows how much money is coming in and how much is going out.
"Step two would be trying to develop savings strategies for common goals," she says.
"Once you identify what amount of money you can put away for a rainy day, you can then have that 'Let's talk about retirement together' conversation."
For many blended families, the goal is to end up just as with any other family -- living well in unison, says Gina DeBrincat, who was a single mother of three before remarrying.
The Winnipeg-based life and wellness coach's family of four became a family of six after her second marriage in 1999 to Mark.
"We have been trying to have our blended family as organic as possible, so it hasn't been something where it's like I look after mine and you look after yours."
Yet it took work, she says. And a lot of meditation on the subject -- so much so she authored a book entitled Matrix of the Blended Family.
"I wrote it out of necessity for people who are in blended families that would be looking for a manual -- an easy read that they could go back to often."
Let's face it, she says. Many people entering a second marriage already have a track record of botched mergers.
And there are a lot of failed relationships in Canada. According to 2008 data collected by Statistics Canada, the last year it monitored the divorce rate, about 40 per cent of marriages ended in divorce by their third decade.
So for those looking at doing it again, they are often agonizingly aware of the emotional and financial costs of failure.
"Divorce and remarriage and all the complications that go along with that weren't exactly my first choice, and I didn't take it lightly," DeBrincat says.
After taking care of her own family and its finances for so long, she did not want to risk what she had built on her own.
Yet she and her husband were willing to put in the time to make it work, discussing the household finances.
That's a key element to success, says psychologist Dr. Moira Somers, an assistant professor at the University of Manitoba and a financial therapist with Money, Mind and Meaning.
"Money is at the root of many marital conflicts. It's one of the leading causes of divorce," she says. "If you've especially come out of a relationship where that's contributed to the breakdown, you need to do a few things, one of which is heal from it."
In fact, she says, it's probably best for people to ensure they sort out their money issues before they cohabit.
"The divorce rate is higher in second and third marriages often because the conditions that led to the end of the first or second ones weren't addressed, or the previous marriages left such scars that trust and openness had become increasingly hard to achieve," she says.
"If it's really hard for you to talk about money, you should not be getting married."
Yet proceeding with caution and even delaying melding families aren't necessarily bad news, because in many cases blended families are coming together with many more complications than their previous relationships.
"It's one thing to get married when you're in your 20s and all you've got between you is a ratty old sofa and $20,000 in student debts; it's another thing to come into one in your 40s, 50s and 60s," she says. "Some people I've worked with are sitting on considerable nest eggs, or know they're going to inherit millions."
While the steps to blending complicated financial situations can be legion, onerous and even expensive, involving lawyers and prenuptial agreements, it's always better to deal with the flashpoints prior to marriage or a similar relationship because the potential sore spots will flare, Somers says.
Bell and Jarzyna say they left no potential rock in their financial lives unturned.
Although they're constantly working on smoothing out disagreements about spending, at least their relationship is on a good foundation of openness and trust, Jarzyna says.
"The most important thing about us coming together financially was that we were completely transparent with each other's finances," he says. "She knew exactly what my financial position was and I knew the same about hers -- no surprises."

Edu – taining is the new buzzword and Traveller Kids follows it quite well. Variety, bright colors, quality, great learning & loads of activities is what I'd expected before I could open this little activity box and let me tell you almost all my expectations were met. With a host of activities to choose from our kids will be kept occupied for quite a bit. This box can be more fun if your kids have friends over, because there are a few activities like the spell buzz and bingo which involve more than 2 or 3 players. I advise one elder person to be present while the kids are at play so that they can be well guided and understand the true essence of the box to be able to make the box more enjoyable and something to learn from.
The Traveller Kids boxes have a specific country theme and provide extensive learning in creative and fun ways about that particular country through 9 to 10 different activities.
Here's a picture of their Starters Kit:
For example we tried out the Traveller Kids Box themed: Atlas Goes to the USA, which included interesting facts about the USA to learn from: The culture, food, monuments, its people and discoveries through a host of activities designed especially for kids to learn in a fun way:
Games: spell buzz and bingo with a twist,
Craft: making a 3D Statue of Liberty, Halloween & Thanks giving craft
Interactive toys: Constellation toy (blue in picture) which has holes in punched in a round shaped plastic sheet in the pattern of the particular constellation and when you flash a flash light behind it in complete darkness you can see the constellation. Something that impressed us!!
Other than that as I told you get a Visa, Boarding Pass, a sticker sheet a giant baseball hand and most importantly an interactive book full of interesting facts about USA cluttered with activities like puzzles, crosswords, mathematical activities, interesting pictures and so much more to learn from.
What we liked:
What we'd expect:
Most of the activities besides a few are one timers and cannot be utilized repeatedly. So we'd hope for more activities which can be used frequently.
Traveller Kids also left us feeling a little hungry after a full meal. While the kids enjoyed the passport and a few activities it fail to engage them for a longer duration.

Hi! I have tried the France Kit and my son was absolutely excited on seeing the "beret", a traditional cap with the packet. I agree that the activities are one time u se (like the soap making kit that I got in the France box) and that could be changed. Over-all it is a great concept!
Hi Dhanishta!
We are happy to know that your son loved the France box and the beret hat
We add a book, souvenir and 1 or 2 games that can be used and played multiple number of times in each Country Box. However, will keep in mind your concerns and add reusable craft activities as well. Do keep checking our website for more updates and changes!
Thanks for the feedback.

Jessica Daugherty5 Stars Out Of 5July 6, 2010Jessica DaughertyWe are amazed at this program already. We're only a week into it but it's working already. My daughter is enjoying it which is a huge improvement over the last program we tried (Handwriting Without Tears) and her writing is improving in just 1 week's time!!! The spacing is smaller which is easier for her to use. The approach is better for her (no need for multiple chalkboards, confusing paper and quirky ways of forming letters). And the font style they use is more natural feeling so easier to learn. Very pleased with this and we're totally converted to this series.
Jodi Masoncup5 Stars Out Of 5September 24, 2009Jodi MasoncupI really love all of the A Reason for Handwriting books. I have been using these materials, along with the Concerned Group's A Reason for Spelling for several years with my older children. I had not purchased the teacher guidebook previously, but I really appreciate the help it provides. Anyone who is just starting to teach will find the information valuable. It is clear and concise. Of course, all of these publications are reinforcing the Christian education that I am providing my children, which makes the materials even more essential. The books are also child friendly. They invite you in with bold, colorful pages, especially helpful with little ones. I have every reason to continue to use these books.

137. PalmBeachWeatherBoy
I cant imagine NHC changing much about their track due to so much uncertainty, its best to not show the public that u dont have a clue. |
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 7:30 PM GMT on September 02, 2009
Tropical Storm Erika remains weak and disorganized, and the future track and intensity of the storm remain highly uncertain. The center has jumped several times over the past 12 hours, and now lies exposed to view, west of the main area of heavy thunderstorms. Radar animations out of Martinique show little organization of the echoes, and satellite imagery shows no low-level spiral bands or upper-level outflow. Wind shear analyses from the University of Wisconsin diagnose a moderate 10 - 15 knots of shear over Erika, a decrease from yesterday. SSTs are warm, 29°C. The Hurricane Hunters are in the storm now, and have found a slight increase in the surface winds, up to 45 mph. They noted that the surface center was displaced 12 miles north of the center they found at 1500 feet, which is the sign of a disorganized storm undergoing wind shear.
The forecast for Erika
Erika is embedded in a weak steering current pattern, and the storm's current state of disorganization is allowing the center to make random jumps as it reforms near the heaviest thunderstorm activity. This makes for a low-confidence forecast. The future track of the storm will depend upon how strong the storm gets over the next few days. A stronger Erika will extend higher into the atmosphere and be steered more to the northwest by upper-level winds. A weaker Erika will be steered more by the low-level winds, which will keep the storm on a more westerly track. The intensity forecast models did a poor job with Tropical Storm Danny last week, and appear to be repeating that poor performance with Erika. All of the major intensity forecast models predict substantial strengthening of Erika. This seems unlikely to occur, given the storm's current disorganization, and the predicted increase in wind shear along the path of Erika to 20 - 25 knots 3 - 5 days from now. The more southerly than expected track of the storm also brings the possibility that Erika will encounter the high mountains of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola. The GFS, GFDL, and Canadian models predict Erika will pass near Puerto Rico on Friday, then move over Hispaniola on Saturday. Erika in its current weak state would probably not survive an encounter with these islands. A wide range of scenarios is still possible for Erika, from outright dissipation (as forecast by the GFS, Canadian, and ECMWF models) to intensification to a Category 3 hurricane (as forecast by the HWRF model). Erika is a long-term threat to the Bahamas and U.S. East Coast if it is still around five days from now. Potential landfall locations range from Florida on Tuesday to North Carolina on Wednesday. The NOGAPS model has Erika potentially missing the U.S. entirely, scooting northwards between North Carolina and Bermuda. My current expectation is that Erika will dissipate on Saturday when it encounters Hispaniola.
Figure 1. Afternoon image of Tropical Storm Erika. The swirl of clouds just west of Guadeloupe island is the center. This center was what I had labeled a "false center" in this morning's post, and has taken over as the main center this afternoon.
Hurricane Jimena hits Baja
Hurricane Jimena made lanndfall on Mexico's Baja Peninsula late this morning near Cabo San Lazaro as a Category 2 hurricane with 100 mph winds. Jimena is the 2nd strongest hurricane to hit Baja's west coast since record keeping began in 1949. The only stronger storm was Hurricane Norbert, which made landfall in 2008 on the central Baja coast with sustained winds of 105 mph. Jimena has now weakened to a Category 1 storm, and will continue to weaken as it hits colder waters and interacts with land. No deaths or major damage have been reported from the storm.

California fire webcams
As I discussed in yesterday morning's post, you can use our wundermap for Los Angeles with the fire layer turned on to see where the fire and smoke are located, and track the temperatures and winds during today's air pollution event. We also have two webcams with views of the fire: Altadena and Tujunga.
I'll have an update Thursday morning.

I cant imagine NHC changing much about their track due to so much uncertainty, its best to not show the public that u dont have a clue. |
Quoting TexasHurricane: NO problem, but hey, do you have a humidity map for the atlantic? Or the centers of troughs and low and high pressure systems? Thanks |
Based on recent recon, I think this disorganized mess of Erika is forming a a new center under the convection between 15-16N and 58-59W, imo. Who knows. Data is all over the place. Have to wait for better organization, if any, but will still be TS at 5pm. |
Quoting WPBHurricane05: No, im saying how can there be shear if there is an anticylcone over the ball, and its pushing Upper level winds towards the EAST away from the ball and anything around the ball would likely be pushed East (in the upper levels), but instead the small T storms were sucked into the ball at the surface.. |
Quoting MiamiHurricanes09: Thank You and "Welcome to the Boards" we are glade you chose to be here... Taco :0) |
Quoting Floodman: Yes I have, and again very interesting! Just caught my attention that our local Mets must now be picking up on something...Wish I knew what it was :) |
Hey, We Missed Bill, Now We Miss Erika, Please a Hurricane, Please !!!! |
This sure is one covert operation Mother Nature is springing on us. She keeping Erika on the low down out of the typical steering dynamics just showing how defiant weather can behave. |
I believe that if Erika is strong and is able to make it pass PR, then we have a different scenario I trully see a NW track along the hispanola North coast, which will put S.florida and most of the east coast in danger |
Quoting MiamiHurricanes09: Love to hear your thoughts on this weird storm called Erica!!! |
Quoting DataPilot: That trojan was just discovered today. Check McAfee for an updated DAT file 5728. From the McAfee site info 1 - 3 of about 26 results Sort by Date or Relevance JS/Exploit-Packed.c.gen Trojan Discovered : 09/02/2009,Risk: Low vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_218755.htm - 31k - Cached |
best thing to do is wait for the 5Pm advisory which will be out within the hour and wait and see what the HH found and take it from there |
The center beneath the convection mass seems to be the predominant one, because the surface convergence is more prevalent and intense near it. It is also closer to the upper level ridge axis that has been enhancing convection over the past few days. |
Quoting TexasHurricane:thank you, currently Erika is moving westward at around 8 or so MPH, if she does not begin to start to move WNW she could become a problem for the US coast, for now she is a little to unpredictable to give you a very accurate forecast, but if you live on the eastern U.S coast i believe you should continue to monitor the progress of Erika... Other than that the Antilles, Virgin Islands, Leeward islands, and Puerto Rico will most like recieve some strong gusts and a lot of rainfall over the next 72 hours, imo |
The 4PM update I sent out... The organization of Erika has continued to deteriorate this afternoon as the low level center of circulation has raced west out ahead of the deep thunderstorm activity to its east. The overall circulation has been elongated in an oval shape from west to east, which is not favorable for a storm to strengthen. Given its current state of organization, it is quite possible that Erika may be downgraded this evening back to a remnant low. Dry mid-level air and some moderate 15 knots of wind shear have combined to cause the weakening in Erika. Some forecast models continue to show significant intensification into a hurricane, while others now dissipate the storm within 24 hours. The models have not performed well with this system, as the lack of good upper air data over the oceans has caused the models not to show shear that was present and also significant dry air. Further complicating the forecast is the southern shift in the models, now making it likely that what remains of Erika will pass close or over Puerto Rico or Hispaniola. Obviously, land interaction with a system so weak would likely lead to dissipation. I don't have a strong feeling for what this system will do, other than I believe it will head further south than the NHC was forecasting previously. |
Quoting jipmg: Exactly...the outflow is caused by favorable shear conditions. |
Quoting F5Tornado: Thanks! :) |
http://www.stormpulse.com/ I just came across this website. Just wanted to share it. Dont know if it had been on here before. The activity for anything this year has not met its expectations. |
If I can throw my own theory out here, I think we're seeing a mini fujiwhara effect with the LLC that raced out now slipping south as it rotates around the larger cyclonic circulation. I think the HHs found another vortex underneath the convection, but everything is rotating around the actual low pressure center (which was picked out by the HH to be east of the 'naked' LLC). We'll have to see if that's the actual case, but with the naked LLC slipping to the south, it lends credence to the idea of multiple vortices swirling around a larger cyclonic circulation. |
Quoting hurricanehanna: My pleasure, hanna... |
Looks like Erika doesnt like the NHC and experts telling her where she cant go. |
Well - since she's so unpredictable using modern forecasting tools - we could by the Farmer's Almanac...it says that the Northern GOM states can expect a hurricane between Sept. 26-28. Probably not Erika... |
Quoting justalurker: Oh I don't worry. I have been through alot of storms, and really don't get worried until something is 3 days out and still headed in my direction. I am merely trying to learn, but this storm is keeping me confussed. Erika is giving everyone a run for their money. Very interesting! |
In my honest unscientific prediction, I'm thinking Erika will likely drift over Hispanola, especially if the center relocates |
Quoting cajunmoma: Have you watched the motion on this storm over the last 12 hours or so? They're watching it hon, but only as an outside chance... |
the biggest issue for Erika is the anticyclone being displaced, it is creating havoc on the system |
Quoting MiamiHurricanes09: Welcome Valuable information is very needed with this storm |
Quoting TexasHurricane: Sure, you want the NOAA NHC GRaphics? Or wind shear, or try this: National Hurricane Center Link Stormpulse Hurricane tracking: Link Or even try this, its very handy: http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic2/real-time/windmain.php?&basin=atlantic&sat=wg8&prod=sht&zoom=&ti me= Wind shear tracking, thanks to a good freind.

Quoting WPBHurricane05: That makes no sense? There is ouflow coming out of the ball and over the center causing "easterly" shear, and the storms were sucked towards the east, not ripped off.. |
Quoting cchsweatherman:this has been the hurricane season that disturbances and storms have had a hard time developing |
Quoting MiamiHurricanes09: Welcome!! Erika is being difficult to figure out. Got any thoughts on her? |
Quoting AllStar17: Thats for sure man. This has been really testing me and pretty much all forecasters out there. Right now, I'm starting to become more confident that this will not curve north like a few models still believe. Its just too weak to feel any deep layered steering currents. But of course, still without a definitive center and with how unpredictable this storm has already been, I could be wrong and anything could happen. This has been such a wacky storm. |
to reinterate what is going on. * no one knows where its going * no one knows where the center is * No one knows ????? |
My quote feature is not working, neither is my Modify Comment. 85. Well, if it does, lets hope shear is not favorable, or else, if this storm makes it, it would intensify under fav. conditions. |
Quoting jipmg: There is little shear. Dry air is whats causing all the problems. |
Flood - thanks! Don't know why I said Press - ya'll are both sweet guys! |
Quoting cajunmoma: really no one knows at this time, just be patient, no need to worry, it's still far away to be concerned..basically what i can understand is that everyone here is trying to find where the center of circulation is located based on the model runs..i am no expert but i sit back and listen to all opinions and facts that are given. |
The fact that we can't even tell where the center is right now tells you all we need to know. The odds are against this thing even surviving a trip through the islands. |
Quoting Hurricane009: It looked worse than this????>>>>>>>> |
Quoting jipmg: Quoting myself, anyone notice how the storms that were on the center were sucked into that ball of convection? |
It came out at 11 this morning but, TCFA in Western Pacific TCFA graphic Satellite loop |

A font used in a drawing but that is not currently available on your system is automatically substituted with another font.
The program accommodates a font that is not currently on your system by substituting another font.
If your drawing specifies a font that is not currently on your system, the font designated as your alternate font is automatically substituted. By default, the simplex.shx file is used. If you want to specify a different font, enter the alternate font file name by changing the FONTALT system variable. If you use a text style that uses a Big Font, you can map it to another font using the FONTALT system variable. This system variable uses a default font file pair: txt.shx and bigfont.shx. For more information, see Use Text Fonts for International Work.
In previous releases, you could display PostScript® fonts in the drawing. Because later releases cannot display PostScript fonts, Autodesk has supplied TrueType font equivalents. These PostScript fonts are mapped to the equivalent TrueType fonts in a font mapping file. Additionally, when a TrueType font is not available, you can specify a different TrueType font, making sure that the fonts are similar to avoid text length or wrapping problems.
If the default font does not support the characters you enter using the In-Place Text Editor (MTEXT command), an alternative font is substituted.
CIF or MIF codes entered with the In-Place Text Editor or with the DTEXT command are now automatically converted to display the actual characters.
A font mapping file is a list of text fonts and their substitutes. If a text font used in a drawing cannot be located, another text font is substituted for the missing font using a font mapping file.
Each line in the font mapping file contains the name of a font file (with no file extension or path) followed by a semicolon (;) and the name of the substitute font file. The substitute file name includes a file extension such as .ttf.
A font mapping file is an ordinary ASCII text file with a .fmp extension. The default font mapping file is acad.fmp for AutoCAD, and acadlt.fmp for AutoCAD LT. You can change the font assignments in a font mapping file using any ASCII text editor.
For example, you could use the following entry in a font map file to specify that the timesnr.pfb font file be substituted with the times.ttf font file:
The following table shows the font substitution rules used if a font file cannot be located when a drawing is opened.
For third-party or custom SHX fonts that have no TrueType equivalent, one of several different TrueType fonts called proxy fonts is substituted. In the In-Place Text Editor, proxy fonts look different from the fonts they represent to indicate that the proxy fonts are substitutions for the fonts used in the drawing.
Custom SHX fonts do not appear in the Font list on either the MTEXT Ribbon Contextual Tab or the Text Formatting toolbar. If you want to format characters by assigning one of these fonts, first create a text style that uses the font and then apply that text style to the characters.

[edit] Biographical Information
Shortstop Jason Donald was on the US roster for the 2008 Olympics when they won Bronze. He made his major league debut with the Cleveland Indians in 2010.
[edit] High School
Donald played high school baseball for his father, Tom. He set school records in hits, homers and runs. He was also a multi-position football player, earning All-City honors as a senior. He hit .468 as a junior. As a senior, he batted .534 with 52 runs and 11 home runs and was named a second-team All-American by Baseball America; Eric Duncan, Ian Stewart and Brandon Wood were the three infielders chosen as first-team above him. The Anaheim Angels chose him in the 20th round of the 2003 amateur draft; he fell that far due to his strong college commitment.
[edit] College
Going on to college, Jason hit .322/.381/.475 as a freshman for Arizona. Baseball America named him a second-team freshman All-American at SS, behind Chris Valaika. Collegiate Baseball picked him for their first-team freshman All-American squad. He set the Arizona Wildcat record for hits (84) by a freshman. Donald hit .333 with a home run in the 2004 College World Series as Arizona fell in 3 games. In the Cape Cod League, he hit .206/.281/.304 for the Cotuit Kettleers.
In 2005, the sophomore batted .288/.398/.473 and set a school record by being hit by pitch 19 times in a year. Returning to the Kettleers, he improved to .272/.352/.346.
As a junior, the shortstop hit .332/.401/.528 with 49 RBI in 54 games. The Philadelphia Phillies chose him in the third round of the 2006 amateur draft. He was signed by scout Therron Brockish.
[edit] Minor Leagues
Donald debuted with the Batavia Muckdogs, producing at a .263/.347/.352 rate with 12 steals in 13 tries and a .959 fielding percentage at short. One negative was his .159 average against left-handers, but he hit .313 against right-handers in a reverse split. He led New York-Penn League shortstops in fielding percentage.
In 2007, Jason began with the Lakewood BlueClaws and hit .310/.409/.447 in 51 games (.395 against left-handers this time), earning mid-season South Atlantic League All-Star honors. He was promoted to the Clearwater Threshers and hit .300/.386/.491 there. Overall, he had 89 runs, 31 doubles, a .395 OBP and 109 strikeouts. He tied Quintin Berry for the best OBP in the Phillies chain.
Donald opened 2008 with the Reading Phillies. He hit .307/.391/.497, missing time for the Olympics. He started at short and hit 9th for the US in the 2008 Futures Game. He made a throwing error on a potential double play grounder in the first inning, allowing Elvis Andrus to reach; Andrus would eventually score the winning run in a 3-0 World victory. In the third, Donald grounded back to pitcher Hector Rondon in his first at-bat. Facing Julio Pimentel in the 5th, he singled to left to put two men on with two out but was stranded. Valaika replaced him at short the next inning. Donald finished 5th in the Eastern League in average, between Zach Daeges and Will Rhymes, and was named the All-Star shortstop.
Donald was the USA's shortstop and top hitter when they won Bronze at the 2008 Olympics. He hit .381/.536/.571 and delivered a 2-run homer in the 8-4 Bronze Medal game win over Japan.
In 2009, Jason batted .236/.297/.332 in a disappointing 51 games for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. Donald was one of four prospects (along with Carlos Carrasco, Jason Knapp and Lou Marson sent by the Phillies to the Cleveland Indians in return for Clif Lee and Ben Francisco at the trading deadline in 2009. He was 9 for 35 in 10 games for the Columbus Clippers following the trade.
Donald began 2010 back with Columbus and hit .277/.396/.423 with 10 steals in 12 tries, 21 walks and 27 runs in the first 37 games while moving to second base primarily.
[edit] Major Leagues
He got his first chance to play in the majors in mid-May, 2010 when Indians starting shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera broke his wrist. In his debut on May 18th, he singled off David Price in his first MLB at-bat and went 2 for 3 against the Tampa Bay Rays for the day. He followed with a 1 for 15 swoon. He figured in one of the most striking moments of the season on June 2nd, when he was the 27th batter to face the Detroit Tigers' Armando Galarraga, who had retired the previous 26 and was one out away from a perfect game. Donald hit a dribbler to first baseman Miguel Cabrera, who flipped the ball to Galarraga at first base, seemingly in time to complete the historic effort; but umpire Jim Joyce saw otherwise, Donald was credited with a controversial infield single, and Galarraga had to settle for a one-hit shutout.
On December 11, 2012, Donald was traded to the Cincinnati Reds alongside OF Shin-Soo Choo in return for OF Drew Stubbs and SS Didi Gregorius.

Now that videos are in 720p HD it would be nice for a video popout button, similar to what Justin.tv, Hulu, and other places have. They allow you to pop the video out in it's own window so you can adjust it to any size you want.
The default size seems kind of small for 720p too me and when you make it full screen it's stretched and you can't do anything else on your computer.
Has this been mentioned anywhere? I did a search for "popout" but I only saw a bunch of blog stuff.

3/30/2015I had a great experience with Patricia. She was VERY helpful and courteous. I'm very pleased with her customer service skills. I left her a voice-mail to setup an appointment, she returned my call and explained all the applicable charges. When I visited the building, she gave us a tour and signed me in the system. it was quick.

3/22/2015I went in one time to deliver bagels from my brueggers store and before I left I spoke with a lady named Patricia about a couple storage units that I was possibly looking into soon and she was very very informative and knew what she was talking about and very nice in helping me find what I needed.
Alex Bacon
12/18/2014Patricia was very helpful and pleasant to work with. She made the experience of obtaining a storage unit comfortable. Great attitude and exceptional customer service!
Pamela Johnson
10/5/2014I had a great experience with Patricia at the Bloomington location. She helped me move in to a larger locker for the same price which really helped me in a tough situation....too much stuff!!!She was so professional and positive about making this work for me. She had me signed up and shifting my storage within minutes. Her positivity made my day!!!!!A truly great customer experience. I recommend this business!!!!!!
Jacqui Rosenbush
9/9/2014Patricia was super friendly and a great representation for the company. The general set up of the building for the inside units is not very efficient; you can only enter through one set of doors on East side of the building, go unlock your unit, prop open another set of doors on the North side of the building, walk back to your car on the East side, drive it around to the North side and then don't forget the convenient cart that's back on the East side through a different set of doors. Best to have two people to tackle the unlocking and driving around to make it faster. Other than that, it's great to have the versatile, temp-controlled storage space!

Last chance to applaud 'Harold and Maude'
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 30 April 2014 01:05
- Written by Los Altos Town Crier Staff - Town Crier Report
The Los Altos Stage Company's production of "Harold and Maude" is scheduled to close Sunday at Bus Barn Theater, 97 Hillview Ave.

Maude teaches Harold how to make the most of his time on earth.
Daniel P. Wilson directs the local production. The cast features Warren Wernick as Harold and Lillian Bogovich as Maude. Rounding out the cast are Kristin Brownstone (as Mrs. Helen Chasen), Gary Landis (Dr. Matthews), Ray D'Ambrosio (Father Finnegan), Clint Williams (Inspector Doppel/Gardener), Ken Leeds (Sgt. Doppel/Boss), Hannah Larson (Sylvie Gazel/Nancy Mersch/Sunshine Doré) and Jennifer Gregoire (The Maid, Marie).

Nominations for the 2015 awards are now being accepted -- here's what you need to know to put forth a winner.
What is the value of a barrier between the contractor and owner that you need to worry about it breaking down? I would say the contractor needs to provide value to the owner. Under Agile their is an expectation that the contractor would do that on an on going basis. It shouldn't be about making it easy to judge if someone is doing a good job, it should be about creating real business value. To do that you often need to be involved and not standing behind a "barrier". I think of "the operation was a success but the patient died".
Executing as part of the PMO for a level 2 agile project with DHS that is trying to execute some of the suggestions that Mark has brought through the DHS Agile development efforts. Particularly, I want to emphasize that we do have requirements, we do have tracking, we do have EVM even. But these are not fixed up front with no changes, they are not in the contract as required to be met. The government group is responsible for prioritizing and providing direction on what is needed to be delivered. The documentation is barely sufficient. The processes are flexible and fast. We do execute against an architecture, we do execute and generate DHS level services, but we go it in a collaborative way. We have been through ADE 2A, 2B, were a red program for a while and are now green. In order to make this work, it requires the program management to also work collaboratively with the oversight and governance boards, which we have done to educate and help simplify where possible. We have a vision, not detailed requirements, for what needs to be delivered for the end users and that is what drives development.
(Continuing my last comment). One person commented "You'll never get away from being responsible and accountable" and others spoke about the need for documentation. I agree with all those thoughts. Agile approaches do not attempt to evade responsibility - quite the opposite - they emphasize accountability for delivering results, frequently, quickly, and with an eye toward adding mission value. The difference is in whether the requirements are fully defined up front or are somewhat discovered during the process. An agilist would argue that the waterfall approach "punishes learning", as change is considered bad.
Thanks for all the comments! I thought I'd jump in and respond to a few of the points raised. First, I think Tim is on the right track - we're buying something different here - not execution against a set of requirements tossed over the wall to a contractor, but services in a process where the government continues to be involved and bear some responsibility. That's the nature of an agile approach.
Doesn't this conflict with the push to eliminate riskier contract types? If so, then, . . . fine by me! If this approach bears fruit, though, it may be more feasible to bring the work in house than continually worry about the contractor-owner barrier breaking down. When the contractor has such intimate and irreeplaceable knowledge of the system, I worry he can extract rents from the government.

The battle between Hulk Hogan and ex-wife Linda Bollea isn't over.
As reported earlier, the wrestling icon, 58, filed court papers last week accusing his ex, 52, of defamation, after she accused him of brutal physical abuse and cheating on her with a male wrestler.

Hulk (real name: Terry Bollea) tried to keep a sense of humor about the fracas while making a Saturday appearance at the Spike TV Video Game Awards in Culver City, Calif.
"After the four-year crazy divorce I thought I'd heard everything I could hear in the courtroom," he told Us Weekly, laughing. "Then, all of a sudden she says I abused her, that I was violent. She told everybody that I was a homosexual." (Linda leveled her claims in both a shocking memoir and interviews promoting the book.

Clarified Hogan about Linda's charge that he had a sexual relationship with fellow wrestler Brutus Beefcake: "If any of that was true, I would admit it, and if I was a homosexual I would embrace it. It's just so crazy to hear, so I have a real problem with it....If you're going to say I'm something that I'm not to try to ruin my career and my livelihood....I have to answer her back."
Hogan, who shares daughter Brooke, 23, and son Nick, 21, with Linda, told Us he's baffled by the situation.

"It's so ridiculous," he said. "I don't mean to laugh about it, because it's not funny. But it's insane. It doesn't make any sense to me."
Hogan has a lot to celebrate regardless: He and new wife Jennifer McDaniel celebrate their one-year anniversary later this month. "I've moved on with my life, things are great again," he raved. "I know what it's like to be happy again."
