Shaman King fanfic chapter 2Foe explainations behind the story please read chapter 1. Enjoy!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Amidamaru! Over soul!" Hana called powerfully. Suddenly Amidamaru's form evaporated into what appeared as blue mist which then absorbed into the antiquity. Before anyone could blink the weapon increased in size, gaining a colossal blue aura shaped as a sword. Anna watched in awe although she wore blank mask. Not to be outdone, she held out her left arm which radiated with a similar mist. Hao observed from a distance. 'Impressive,' he mused, 'at such a young age she has tremendous spirit control, but him... the son of Yoh, has incredible untapped furyoku.' He continued to examine the two young teenagers as they began to make their first strikes. Hana seemed to have the upper hand as he swung his weapon in the direction of Anna's stomach however she was able to manoeuvre to the side of him and made a swift kick to his torso. The forc

Ren remarked."I bet she slaps him," Chocolove added."She calls security." Ryu put forward.Lyserg stated, "She laughs at him.""She completely destroys his ego in a single sentence," Manta said."Oh come on guys," Yoh interrupted, a grin wide on his face, "Why do you think he's going to get rejected?"His friends stared at him with exasperated expressions then turned their attention back to Horohoro who was walking up to a brown haired girl sitting at a bar."This seat taken?" He asked pointing to the chair next to her."No," the woman answered, moving her bag from it allowing him to sit."You know, I can read palms," Horohoro announced, grabbing her hand, "And I see a bright
Shaman King fanfic chapter 1010 chapters!!!!!!!!! Woo! Ahem. Enjoy~!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Yoh stood still, mesmerised by his guest. It had been a few years since he had seen her and memories started flooding back. He suddenly realised that he was staring. "Oh right. Come in." He stuttered before leading her through to the kitchen. "Hey guys," he announced, positively beaming, "Look who it is!" The brown haired lightly pushed her forward. Many eyes watched the guest, making her feel awkward and creating a silence in the room. It was a long lived silence, with everyone taking in her features, trying to recall just who this stranger was."Who is she?!" Horohoro screamed in frustration breaking the group's trail of thought."Honestly do you have to be so loud?" Ren sighed, resting his head in his hand, "I have a headache...""More like hangover.""Nonsense. I wasn't drunk.""Dude you were crying because you missed your son." Horohoro re

Lyserg protested."Because you're the only one who's still sober! Hell even Yoh's drunk and we all know he's gonna get it when he gets home!" Horohoro answered."Don't remind me..." He sobbed."But I thought Anna said she would only kill you go near any women?" Manta asked, his voice slurring more than anyone else's."That's what she said but her eyes were saying if I make an idiot of myself I'm in deep shit.""Maybe you shouldn't be part of th

One of the most rewarding things about what I do is getting to see the ideas featured on HWTM actually in use at the parties of others – so thank you for that!
…and this is especially true whenever I spot HWTM printables or Personalized Party Collections in reader photos, because I always remember where I was and what was going on when I first designed those pieces, then think how very cool it is that those same designs made it all the way from that particular moment of mine to the home/party of someone I've never met before that might live all the way across the country – or even just around the corner!
Anyways, just had to have a quick sentimental moment this morning. =)
This Cirque Du Bebe dessert bar is the perfect example: It was created by Esther from Batch from Scratch, who ordered the personalized Cirque Du Bebe Napkin Rings and used them to create everything from the cupcake toppers and food flags to the favors!
Especially loving the look of the circular favor boxes below…
Curious about the yummy desserts in these photos? You're looking at: Sweet Potato Whoopie Pies, Brown Butter Sea Salt Cookies, Chocolate Chip Cookies, White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies, and Red Velvet Cupcakes!
And here's some more eye candy from Batch from Scratch, Esther's LA-based cookie bake shop:
Hungry yet? =)
Thanks again to Esther for sharing these photos!
1Tammy@Events By Tammy SAYS:

Jordan, Barbara (1936-1996)
In July 1988 Jordan suffered a heart attack while exercising in her swimming pool. Earl--described in the press as Jordan's "housemate"--saved her by calling for emergency medical assistance and working to revive her. After the incident doctors, describing Jordan's medical condition, revealed that she had multiple sclerosis. Jordan quickly recovered from the heart attack and resumed a vigorous schedule, determined to overcome her physical challenges. Even after being diagnosed with leukemia in 1994, she continued to teach and travel to speaking engagements. At last, however, she contracted pneumonia as a complication of the leukemia and died on January 17, 1996 in Austin. Jordan had never publicly acknowledged her lesbianism, but friends described her as "straightforward about [it] in private." Both former Texas Governor Ann Richards and United States Representative Sheila Jackson Lee from Jordan's home district in Houston referred to Earl in their eulogies at Jordan's funeral. Earl herself maintained her long habit of public silence, declining the invitation of Jordan's sisters to sit with the family at the burial service in Austin. In light of Jordan's strong record on civil rights for women and minorities and her reputation for forthrightness, her reticence on the topics of her own sexual orientation and of glbtq rights is something of an enigma. Gay reporter Juan Palomo of the Austin American-Statesman declared that "[i]f anybody had the luxury to say 'By golly, I'm a lesbian, and this is the woman I love,' it was Barbara Jordan. She could have done it, and her stature would not have been diminished one bit." This statement may have been true at the end of her career, but certainly not at the beginning. In the homophobic social climate of the early 1960s, an openly lesbian candidate would have stood scant chance of election. One of Jordan's political advisors recalled that campaign directors discouraged her from appearing with her companion at the time and that their relationship ended soon thereafter. To what extent this experience affected Jordan's future thinking and conduct is impossible to know. The Washington Post once referred to Barbara Jordan as "the first black woman everything"--an accolade, but also a burden. She was a vocal and effective advocate for both African Americans and women, but was decidedly reluctant to become the icon or champion of the physically challenged. Although she supported legislation barring discrimination against people with disabilities, she once declared to Earl that she did not "want to become the poster child for the Multiple Sclerosis Society," and she hid the nature of her condition for years although curiosity about it was rampant. She seems to have had a similar attitude with regard to her lesbianism, about which there was also widespread speculation. It is regrettable that Jordan never felt the freedom to declare her sexual orientation publicly or to raise her eloquent voice in support of her glbtq sisters and brothers. Jordan is the subject of a play by Kristine Thatcher, Voice of Good Hope. First performed in 2000, it combines quotations from Jordan
with invented dialogue in scenes depicting key moments in her life
from childhood through her career to her final illness. The
play does not delve into the exact nature of Jordan's relationship
with Earl but portrays it as close and significant.

February 2007 Hundreds Protest
NYU Republicans'
Racist "Illegal
Immigrant" Hunt
23 – Yesterday the College
Republicans at New York University (NYU) staged a blatant racist
provocation –
a "game" of "catch the illegal immigrant." This
grotesque stunt unleashed an
outpouring of anger among NYU students and many others. More than 400
protesters turned out and kept up a steady din for three hours,
picketing and drowning out the handful of racist vigilantes.
Protesters' signs
included "Racism is Not a Game," "No One is Illegal" "Legalize, Don't
Criminalize Immigrants" and "Un Mundo Sin Fronteras/A World Without
Demonstrators chanted "What do we want? —immigrant rights, When do we
them? Now!" The racists clearly sought to
draw media attention, which they did. But what was
vividly shown was the overwhelming repudiation of their chauvinist
filth. Internationalist Group protests racist vigilantes at NYU. The NYU
event was only the
latest chapter in a nationwide campaign by campus right-wingers. It
started at
North Texas University, in the spring of 2005 where the Young
chased members wearing orange T-shirts with the words "illegal
around campus. In April of last year, the College Republicans at Penn
tried the same ploy but were stymied by 150 students and faculty
protesters. Last
fall, the ultra-rightist Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) at Michigan
State U.
and College Republicans at the University of Michigan announced plans
for a
similar manhunt. While cynically pretending this is just "fun and
they're clearly imitating the Minuteman Project vigilantes who for the
last two
years have been targeting immigrants along the Mexican border, where a
have been shot and killed. This is
deadly serious. As
a homemade sign at the NYU protest declared, "Thousands Have Died on
Borders. This Is Not a Game." Some of the "official" printed slogans
to conservative sentiments like "Immigrant Values are Family Values,"
and at
one point some demonstrators chanted for a "debate" with the wannabe
who were going to put on stickers saying "INS," the acronym for the
hated migra
immigration cops, now known as ICE (for Immigration Control and
Division of the Homeland Security Department). But many in the crowd
that there is nothing to discuss with these proponents of racist
terror. Last
September when hundreds came out at Columbia University to denounce a
speech by
Minutemen führer Jim Gilchrist, he hightailed it off the
stage while his
minions punched anti-racist protesters. Photos: Manny Patiño/El Diario-La
Prensa At the NYU
protest, the
Internationalist Group carried signs calling for "Full Citizenship
Rights for
All Immigrants," "Mobilize NYC Labor to Defend Immigrant Workers" and
Racist Vigilantes Off the Streets!" A
number of demonstrators joined us in chanting "Racist vigilantes out of
York" and "Racists out!" We distributed leaflets highlighting the
struggle for
unionization by immigrant workers in Brooklyn. The need to bring the
power of
the working class to bear is key. The fact that such racist scum are
raising their
heads today is a reflection of the defeat last year of the drawn-out
strike of
graduate students at NYU by the vicious union-busting of university
John Sexton. A solid victory by campus unions acting together would put
Sexton's auxiliaries on the run. The sinister "game" by
these right-wing xenophobes is not some kind of "Animal House" antics
of a
bunch of lunatic fringe morons. These are Ivy League careerists like
those in
the mid-1980s who destroyed a shantytown at Dartmouth that was
university complicity with apartheid slavery in South Africa. Some
graduated to
become operatives in the Republican Party "dirty tricks" department,
Reaganite Lee Atwater who orchestrated campaigns to intimidate black
and Latino
voters at the polls. Others went on to run imperialist war from the
of the Pentagon, design police-state repression by the "Justice"
Department and
plan the destruction of social welfare programs at the Heritage
Foundation. But
they don't have to be Republicans: the Democrats have supported every
one of
these vicious attacks, while Democratic president Bill Clinton pushed
the 1996 immigration "control" act. To contact the Internationalist Group and the League for the Fourth International, send e-mail to: email@example.com |

Recipe by mauigirl
"This looks complicated, but it is so simple. I came up with this recipe when I needed to use up a bumper crop of cherry tomatoes and basil from my patio garden. It is rich and creamy and a perfect fettuccine for a warm summer night. I served this with a crisp white wine......perfecto!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound fettuccine
1/4 pound pancetta bacon, diced
1 quart heavy cream, divided
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
ground black pepper
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
the youngest redneck wanted to learn how to make my creamy pasta. I was going to walk him through it but decided he should try on his own. So I opened by RB for him to decide. A young teen will not take long to make a decision-last pasta recipe saved first one he tried-This was so good, Maui, the perfect carb supper for our busy day. It was very easy and came together quickly even for the young one. Used garlic chives and a cut up tomato. Do not skimp on the cream, I rarely measure cream when I make pasta, this is a great amount for a creamy pasta. We used 1/2 whippping cream and 1/2 coffee cream, delicious. The young redneck even took a pic, our camera is bad, but he likes your pasta:) Thanks Maui.
This dish was delicious. My husband and I are not lovers of pancetta but once it was fried up and drained I think it added a nice subtle salty bacon flavour to the dish. The "crisp white wine" was a wonderful suggestion too.
9 Ratings
This was a great meal. I changed a few of the ingredients, instead of pancetta I accidentally used very thinly sliced cooked ham and 1/2 half and half with 1/2 whipping cream. I also added a clove of garlic and blanched asparagus. It turned out really well and I'll be making it again- using either pancetta or ham. The ham went well with the dish. Thanks for recipe. It was easy to make and very tasty.
I made this tonight and my whole family LOVED it! I didn't have fettuccine, so I used a chicken tortellini pasta. Otherwise, I stuck to the recipe. My husband got thirds, and my "difficult to please" children sang my praises:) This is a keeper!
Recipe Group Selection: 22, June 2013 ~ Maui Girl – this fettuccine recipe is out of this world! My family went nuts about this dish! I could not find pancetta bacon, so I subbed Canadian bacon. I had 2 c. of heavy cream on hand and 2 c. of half and half – so I used those. I know my sauce was a littler thinner than what it should have been, but the taste was still incredible. Loved the tomatoes and fresh basil (from my herb garden) taste in this dish. It really did make it taste like a summer meal. I served this with a simple green salad and multigrain French bread. We had a wonderful meal and I have a "new favorite" summer meal. Thanks for sharing your recipe, glad AR decided to publish this one.
Made this for Recipe Group...FANTASTIC!!!!! I did have to use bacon b/c they did not have any pancetta at the store, but we loved it w/ the bacon. I only used a pint of heavy cream, and I think it made the perfect amount of sauce. The little guy chose the pasta shape so it wasn't fettuccine, lol, but it sure was delicious! The whole family raved over this...a definite keeper~YUM! Thanks for sahring. :)

Throughout the night, pundits spent their time talking about Republican wins and Democratic defeats, though the latter was still able to salvage some wins. But the biggest thing many in the media seemed to miss was the biggest loser: discrimination.
Read Whole Story
If we look at the advances of women on the global stage, we can see momentum in the public and political arena. Yet, in start-ups, investment banking and manufacturing, where real money is made, not much has changed over the past decade.
As the numbers do not seem to be shifting in any dramatic or rapid ways over the decade it seems that the 1:5 ratio is a plateau for women. Do two women in a room of 10 men seem like some sort of equality or at least satisfactory representation?
The forum, in an effort to increase the representation of women, asked companies who send five delegates to include one woman, and the result was that companies only sent four delegates -- the ratio of women to men actually decreased after this request.
The amount of taxpayer money spent on these incidents is enough to make anyone's head spin. It's simply out of control. And it might be time for the Mayor and Police Commissioner Kelly to accept the reality that police officers need to be retrained and an outside monitor must be established.
For two weeks, I have sat in the lower Manhattan 15th floor courtroom of Federal Judge Shira Scheindin stunned at the testimony I was listening to with regards to "Stop and Frisk."
After years of campaigning for more gender-diverse corporate boards, ION published its Ninth Annual Status Report on Women Directors and Executive Officers of Public Companies. The good news? We're making progress, and have several thriving companies that lead by example.
Let's face it -- the number of women on boards is a problem, and everyone knows it. Even old-school companies with homogenous leadership understand the business case for increasing the number of women on boards.
Far from squandering state and federal resources, expanding educational opportunity and producing the multiculturally competent citizens and leaders that our nation and world will need is an investment with limitless payoff.
A former NYPD officer who was fired after writing fraudulent traffic tickets to deceased people says he did so under pressure to meet illegal departme...
Apart from a few celebrated and important leaders, the data on women's participation in American political institutions do not paint a particularly rosy picture of rising political power for women in the U.S.
Time to confess, I decided. I am actually a product of quotas. Yes, let the truth be known that I was hired for my job in television because the station that hired me was responding to a federal initiative under the Equal Employment Opportunity Act.
The problem with anti-discrimination legislation like Title IX is not with its intentions. The trouble is that the goal posts keep moving
Earlier this week, I spoke on a panel at the "Democracy the Delivers for Women" Conference sponsored by the Center for International Private Enterpris...
Companies won't change unless someone forces them to do so. Women on boards bring higher profits, higher quality earnings, better share price growth, better decisions and higher innovation.
Clearly, it looks odd these days for a board to be comprised of only white men, but does diversity make a difference in real economic terms? Does it actually affect the bottom line?
Should the United States jump on the female quota bandwagon? Norway has had a quota law in place for the past four years stipulating that all publicly...
Everyone should be worried about security. But to strike out at a small religious group of Muslim women in France in case someone planning to do harm will emulate their clothing is not the way to go.
Rwanda is primarily known as the site of a horrific genocide. It is now the first country to have a majority of women in the legislature at 56%, up from a high of 18% before the conflict.

TJX hacker to plead guilty to Heartland breach
After admitting to the TJX hacks three months ago, Albert Gonzalez has now agreed to plead guilty to charges he broke into the network of Heartland Payment Systems and several other companies to steal more than 130 million credit and debit card numbers.The plea agreement was filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in New Jersey. Gonzalez, 28, of Miami admitted to hacking into Heartland, 7-Eleven, and Hannaford Bros. supermarket chain. In August, he was charged with conspiracy and conspiracy to engage in wire fraud for his role in the Heartland intrusion. He and two unnamed co-conspirators, residing in or near Russia, were accused of using SQL injection attacks to evade the victims' firewall to gain access to the network.
Gonzalez faces up to 20 years in prison if he is convicted on the wire-fraud conspiracy charge. The conspiracy charge carries a five-year sentence, and fines of $250,000 for each charge.
In conjunction with Tuesday's plea, a federal judge agreed to transfer the case to federal court in Massachusetts, where Gonzalez is awaiting sentencing for his role in a number of other hacks, which he pleaded guilty to in September.
He remains in federal custody on the separate charges of infiltrating several major retail chains, including TJX, which owns T.J. Maxx; Barnes & Noble; BJ's Wholesale Club; Boston Market; DSW; Forever 21; Office Max and Sports Authority -- and stealing more than 40 million credit card numbers.
Gonzalez faces up to 25 years in prison for these charges and is expected to be sentenced this month.

And Boaz had eaten and drunk and his heart became happy, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn; and she came in darkness and uncovered his feet, and laid down.
And it came to pass at midnight, that the man trembled and was grasped ; and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
And he said: 'Who are you?' And she answered: 'I am Ruth your handmaiden; spread therefore your wing over your handmaid; for your are a redeemer.' And he said: 'Blessed be you of HaShem, my daughter� (3:7-10)
This little passage stands out for drama, for its depth is what is said and of what is left unexplained. It is full of shadows and gaps that the reader is called to fill in. How one does it depends, as always in Hebrew Scripture, on who the interpreter is and what traditions, experience, values and training he or she brings to the task of interpretation. We will attempt to present a reading that bases itself on the comments of the Sages and is guided by the approach that we have taken so far. As will shortly become apparent, Rabbinic interpretation is informed by parallel passages and verses.
�Uncovering the feet� is plainly ambiguous. On one hand it is simply a sign of submission and acceptance of leadership. Maimonides in the Guide of the Perplexed I, 28 cites many examples of such usage of this simile. On the other hand, it carries certain connotations of physical closeness and exposure, such as in Sam. I 24:4 and Samuel II 11:8. This second meaning is made clear in Rashi�s explanation of Talmud Sanhedrin 19B where it is said that Boaz� body became like the heads of turnips (however, the plural form of �turnips� presents a difficulty for this interpretation; for an alternate possible explanation compare with Sanhedrin 94a where Jethro�s flesh is said to become �sharp points�, signifying perhaps what we call �goose bumps�).
R. Shmuel Bar Nachman said "Cursed be the wicked. In reference to Potiphar�s wife it say, 'and she said, "lie with me"', like an animal, but of Ruth it says, 'and spread your wing over your handmaid'" (Genesis Rabbah 87,4). This comparison between Ruth and Potiphars wife calls to mind an important idea explicated so beautifully by R. Tsadok Hakohen in Likuttei Amarim 80b. He writes that every element seeks to join itself with what is like it. If a woman on a low spiritual level seeks out an elevated man it is either a sign that something within him still requires correction or, that an element of goodness within her is crying out for redemption. The impure does not desire to attach itself to the pure, if not for one of these two reasons. Why would a Gentile jet-setter, a woman like the wife of Pharaoh�s chief executioner desire to attach herself to a completely pious Jewish man? It must be a desperate cry for meaning and redemption. This is why Joseph was initially tempted somewhat by his master�s wife, for he understood that she could not be attracted to him unless they shared something. So happens, it turned out to be her (and Potiphar�s) daughter Asnat, who ultimately married Joseph. The contrast between Potiphar�s wife and Ruth emphasizes that Ruth wanted Boaz solely for his goodness and righteousness. She was motivated by pure and religious motives and he instinctively understood that. Ruth throws back to boaz the same words that he said to her at their first meeting: �HaShem recompense your work, and be your reward complete from HaShem, the G-d of Israel, under whose wings you came to take refuge.' (Ruth 2:14). She asks that Boaz spread his wing over her, meaning his outer four-fringed garment, as we still do during the marriage ceremony, alluding to the commandment of Tsitsit and its power to guard against temptation (see Malbim here, and Rashash to Kiddushin 18b). When a man spreads his garment over a woman the symbolism is that this man and this woman are now wearing the same cloak and face the world under the same cover. Ruth was prepared to cloak herself in the garments of the Sage of Israel with everything that it entailed.
Boaz was grasped � by whom? The unusual verb form that is used here (see Judges 16:29) is passive and not reflexive, therefore it is clear that someone else grasped him. It may be that it was Ruth who grasped him in an attempt to prevent him from involuntarily crying out in fright. Certain sources suggest that Boaz may have had a servant who slept with him in the granary (Targum Ruth to v. 14). This is the fellow who Boaz tells later: � 'Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing-floor� (3:14).' Perhaps than it was he who grasped Boaz at that moment.
Boaz trembled. Like Isaac, he suddenly found himself in front of a fateful choice. He could accept Ruth, trust in her and in God and bless her, or he could blame her, call her a manipulator and curse her. �R. Akiva was to go to (lobby in) Rome. He said to his servant bring me something valuable from the market (to bring as a gift). He went and brought him a pair of birds. R. Akiva sked him, �why did it take you so long�. He said because birds make one tremble and take care to watch them. R. Akiva applied it to himself � �Man�s trembling leads to failure but he who trust God will be saved (Proverbs 29)�. The trembling that Jacob caused Isaac � it was by right that Isaac should have cursed Jacob (Gen 27:33). However, �he who trusts in God will be saved� - You put in Isaac�s heart to bless his son. Trembling that Ruth caused to Boaz - it was only right that he should curse her. But, �he who trusts in God shall be uplifted�. You put in his heart to bless her, as it says, �Blessed are you to Hashem�� (Ruth Rabba 6:2)
At midnight I shall arise to praise you for your righteous judgments (Psalms 109:15). (David said, I praise You) for the judgments that You brought unto Amonites and Moabites and the goodness that you did for my great grandfather and grandmother. Had Boaz rushed in with a curse, from whence would I have come? However, You put into his heart a blessing, as it says, �Blessed be you��(Ruth Rabbah 6:1).
The righteous in crisis err on the side of blessing. When push came to shove and Boaz had to make a split decision he choose to bless and not to curse for that was his nature. Everything else that followed was a consequence of this choice. Blessed be Boaz and fortunate are we for the choices that he made and the lessons he left to us. May we be worthy of internalizing and living his lessons to the full.

MGX by Materialise
Product Sheet PDFAdd to Wish ListBookmark & ShareEmail this page
Design: Naomi Kaempfer
The design for the Ratio.MGX lamp is the result of a study into phyllotaxis (the principles governing leaf arrangement), mathematical structures, and the rational and irrational distribution patterns in nature.
The lamp, together with its electricity cables, rests unconnected in a concrete base, which makes it possible to take the lamp out of its base like a torch. The Ratio.MGX is the rational part of a twin design. The irrational counterpart has not yet been released.
The designs for .MGX lampshades are generated from a computer file, which is then manufactured by using a rapid prototyping technology, this 3D material printing process allows for freedom of design far beyond the capacity of traditional manufacturing technologies.
Technique: SLS / SLA Material: PA - Polyamide (nylon) / epoxy Colour: Amber, Bordeaux, Havana brown, Green Design: Pole: Messing (Chrome Coated), Base: Concrete (black / white)

'Frankenstorm' Model Created By Scientists
As Californians reflect over the recent wild weather that battered the Golden State, experts are warning of a far worse scenario that could potentially hammer the state with record rainfall, according to the Associated Press.
As bucketing rains soaked through the fire-stricken hillsides and flooded fields and roadways, scientists at the California Institute of Technology settled in to work on their monster weather scenario, "Frankenstorm."
The hypothetical scenario is huge, and "much larger than anything in living memory," said project manager Dale Cox with the US Geological Survey. The storm would be similar to the extreme floods that ravaged communities in 1861 – 1862 and prompted the government to move the state capital from Sacramento to San Francisco until things improved.
In the new scenario, the storm would form in the Pacific waters and slam the West Coast with the force of a hurricane. Southern California would be hit the hardest. The system would stall after driving wind and rain in for more than a week. A storm to the north brews offshore and works its way to the northern coast where it pummels Northern California.
Research meteorologist Martin Ralph of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, who worked on the project, said a massive storm like this would potentially bring as much as 8 feet of rain over a 3 week period.
"Frankenstorm" would be the storm of storms. Even this latest weeklong rage of weather would be no comparison to such a massive storm that scientists believe could be a possibility.
With climate change a big factor in how weather systems form and react, experts feel that storms along the West Coast could be bigger and stronger and happen more frequently. This latest series of storms showed what is possibly on the horizon. Roads were flooded, tornados were spawned, homes were evacuated for fear of mudslides, and as much as a foot of rain was dumped in the mountains of northwest Los Angeles last week, according to the National Weather Service.
A team of federal, state and academic experts was formed last fall to tackle the possibilities of monster storms and what would happen if they hit and lasted for 3 weeks or more. The scenario is expected to be completed this year and will be implemented in a statewide disaster drill slated for next year.
Scheduled meetings at Caltech to study the disastrous effects of a fictional storm were cut short as many attendees canceled due to the latest storms. "They had to deal with the real thing," said chief scientist Lucy Jones of the USGS.
Several of the scientists working on the latest storm scenario were involved in the 2008 planning of a simulated earthquake on the San Andreas Fault that was used for a preparedness drill.
The Great Flood of 1861-1862 was believed to be a result of the strongest and largest storm series in the state's history. Nearly a third of the state's taxable land was damaged or destroyed.
"Frankenstorm", although based on data from two recent storms, would be much more like the 1861-1862 events. There are very few records available on that storm.

Great cover, great price, I ordered this product on a Sunday, and it came on a Wednesday with standard shipping. It is a great phone case, and is very practical. It will not make your HTC Inspire too thick but still protect it. It's kinda like hard rubber, but is not very sticky like some other cases like it. One of my favorite things about it is its X design on the back that includes reinforced corners. I've had cases for iPods and iPhones that have always been ruined by ripped/torn corners.

Thursday, April 21, 2005
Welcome to my house.
This new bed is slowly filling in, and the sunflower is even surviving the shady spot.
The fountain project is doing well. It's been relaxing to sit next to, and the birds seem to enjoy getting a drink.
We went on a wildflower viewing, driving north and a little to the west of where we live. This is spanish moss hanging off of an old oak.
Indian paintbrush.
Wine cups. These were quite endangered when I was a child, but seem to be making a comeback.
These are commonly called "pinks". They grow everywhere, even on traffic medians. I love them for their delicate looks, which belie their hardy nature.
I've always called these blackeyed susan's, but I'm not sure I'm correct.
I'm not sure what these are, but if I weren't a law abiding citizen, they'd be growing in my garden now..........it's illegal to pick or gather wildflowers when in bloom. It is legal to gather seed.
Wild flowers weren't all I found on the trip. I think this is a water moccasin, about three feet long.
Yes, these are wild flowers.
Red and gold lantana growing wild on a fence, with honeysuckle growing in and amoung it. The smell of he honeysuckle was beautiful.
Texas prickly poppy. They stand about 2 to 3 feet tall.
Went looking for wild flowers. This is part of a field of blue bonnets.
There is a frog living in my "water garden". It's not a very big pool, but the frog doesn't seem to mind. However, I think he and the fish don't get along, as I've found 3 of my dace floating belly up. Ahhh well.
The orange flower is on a "butterfly weed". This native wildflower supports several kinds of butterflies. A larger plant near a dryer vent and close to an evergreen produced about 15 butterflies. That's how many empty chrysalis' I found!
Purple lantana and Stella D'Oro miniature daylillies.
The morning glories are starting to bloom. I think they're a little late this year because of the cooler than normal spring we've been having. Their color is quite vivid though!
The herb garden is growing well. I have enjoyed using the fresh basil and fennel. The lemon thyme and lemon basil were great in a salad dressing, and the parsley is slated to go into a tabouli salad.
The roses are blooming profusely, and I can smell them as I walk out of the house. I'm glad they're there to greet people who come to my house
The rose bush is full of blooms, buds and new growth. They smell lovely, and the scent greeted me as I walked outside today.
My herb garden is growing well. The basils are very good and the parsley is ready to harvest. The fennel is almost ready. I've used some of the fennel leaves, thyme, and some of the basils in cooking already. It's nice to have fresh herbs available.
I have two kinds of clematis blooming after all! The white double bloom, and this purple with the stripe. If I remember correctly, it will open flat and the petals will have a darker purple stripe.
A new clematis opening, the star jasmine is blooming and behind it all, the canna.
