Sarah Eastridge, a precious young girl who has CF, was the inspiration for the founding of the festival.
Sarah was diagnosed with CF as a baby. Since then she has been hospitalized numerous times, and has had 9 surgeries, and numerous tests, scans, and procedures that required anesthesia. Sarah's IV treatments have become very extensive because she has developed another problem with her lungs. Although Sarah has had many difficulties with digestion and being able to gain and maintain her weight, she is as healthy as can be expected. It requires a lot of extra care to keep Sarah this way. She is fed through a feeding tube and pump to help her get the nutrients she needs because she doesn't eat by mouth. She also takes the multi-vitamin Vitamax, Zantac, Zyrtec, Biaxin, Culturelle and 1 digestive enzyme Creon 20 during the day and 3 when she is connected to her feeding pump.
Twice a day she has to have breathing treatments and vest therapy. Sarah finally realizes that the treatments are what enable her to breath easier. The vest therapy is a new way of getting the mucus to dislodge in her lungs instead of the pounding her parents use to have to do. She does a breathing treatment daily called Pulmozyme. Sarah also has to do TOBI breathing treatments twice a day every other month.
Several times a month Sarah goes to Tulane Medical Center in New Orleans to meet with her doctors. Sarah has severe stomach problems. She also has lung problems that are progressively getting worse due to her new diagnosis of Atypical Mycobacterium Disease. Sarah is somewhat underweight, but her appearance can be misleading. Sarah has had several surgeries hoping that they would help her stomach problems, but unfortunately they haven't corrected the problems yet.
She is a very happy-go-lucky child who loves playing with her relatives and friends. Riding 4-wheelers with her daddy and brother, and playing on the computer with her mommy are also high on her love-to-do list. Sarah's favorite outing is going to her weekly Dance Class, even though she doesn't get to go every week.
With continued progress through research, love, and care of her family, friends, doctors, and those who support the CF Foundation, Sarah Eastridge may indeed live to see a cure. Please keep Sarah and other precious children with CF, like Kayde and Libby (also pictured), in your daily prayers. With your help, we can make CF stand for "Cure Found."

I'm tired of hearing how you should embrace who you are . I want the real men on this site to answer my question . Do you find fat women sexually... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
No being fat is not attractive. But what women and men think qualifies as "fat" are two different things. The problem I have is that women think they need to be skinny to the point of being unhealthy to be sexy and it's flat out not true. Some fat is okay. It's when the fat starts to obscure your figure, your natural curvature, your body shape that it becomes unattractive. I've seen lots of girls on this site who are very pretty ask if they were fat and that is why you see me (and other guys) telling them to embrace themselves: because they are actually beautiful and have a poor body image.
If a girl is truly fat (based on the opinions of men) then yes she'll need to lose some weight and at that point she probably should do it for health reasons alone. We're not bullsh*tting you when we tell you to embrace your body. Why would we do that? It's sort of like when girls tell you they want a "nice guy". Well yes it's not a lie but it's not the complete truth either. You have to be careful about how you parse these things. In general if a girl is healthy and youthful looking she should be at least alright in the looks department.
Amen on the "nice guy" point.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
What Guys Said 7
You answered your own question.
"I live in Los Angeles and don't see any hot guys with fat women. "
You obviously have a predetermined type of guy you are looking for, in which you don't see them with "fat" women. Let me ask you a question. Are you only attracted to "hot" guys that are only with "non-fat" women? If YES, then perhaps you need to focus on yourself and take diet and fitness very seriously. Start exercising and losing those extra pounds. I may sound like I'm coming off as a jerk here, but I'm being honest and sometimes people need a kick in the ass to get themselves started.
It's a fairly know fact that most people prefer a partner that is in good shape and not over-weight. People here or anywhere can go ahead and say, "Oh come on I don't care... it's her personality" but they really truly know, they would prefer good shape and not over weight. It's obvious the guys you find attractive are choosing their preference.
So, if you are realizing this, it's time to do something about yourself instead of putting it in the guy's ballpark. If you think you know what guys want, it's time to do something about it. Focus on yourself and what you want. If you want to be over-weight, be over-weight. But, don't complain about guys not wanting an over-weight woman.
The most attractive women are those above average, but not so fat that they would have to tuck their belly in their pants or have a belly covering the crotch area. But that red head from less than perfect, and drop dead diva are beautiful (perfect figures) but rosie o donnel is closely after the borderline of too much. and I get really teased when a chick with thicker upper legs is wearing a short skirt, (I didn't say fat, I said thick.) on the other hand, paris hilton is ugly, her legs go all the way up to her back, I'm not into stick women
its actually the figure that determines rather I think a chick is hot or not. but I go by a lot of other factors first.
What Girls Said 2
Why do you want a hot guy?
You said you don't see any "hot guys" with fat women? Why didn't you say "I don't see any guys with fat women." Cause there are guys who like fat women. Just like there are women who like fat guys. But if you want a guy who is a perfect specimen, with the body of Brad Pitt in Troy and the face of a Greek god, then no you aren't going to get a "hot guy". Because if a guy is taking that kind of care with his appearance, appearances are important to him. He wants to look a certain way to people. And he wants his woman to look a certain way with people.
This may sound so, so harsh but every overweight girl or unattractive girl that I know that is alone are the ones who think that they deserve a really good looking guy. I know a black girl who doesn't want to date black guys but thinks it's racist that white guys won't date her. She is alone. I know a pretty unattractive girl who things the guys who want to date her freaks. She is alone. I know a fat girl who is obsessed with really muscular guys and doesn't want a skinny guy. She is alone.
Sometimes people want a hot guy or girl to make them look good but then get mad that someone won't date them cause they aren't hot enough.
You have to decide whether you need his physical abundance to make up for your shortcomings or whether you want to be alone rather than date an average guy that may make you feel kind of average too. Cause if you don't care, I guarantee you you will find a guy.
In response to having ever gone to LA, where do you think I live baby? ;) I wouldn't tell people not to worry about looks unless I grew up in the vanitest town in America.
It might be the guys who are going after. I have fat friends who have boyfriends. They are not the hottest guys in the room but they aren't trolls either. They are average guys.
- Show Older Hide Older
Well my hope is she keeps her options open.
Even in my own life, the guy I'm with now I would not have dated when I was younger. He is good looking but not in the way I normally like it. I thought he was kind of young and cute and I used to be into really masculine looking men. Sometimes I thought "Oh he looks like a baby!!" But he is the best man I have ever known.
I do know guys, in LA, who I know wouldn't care about weight. But some of them are unattractive but sweet guys and some are
Good looking but awkward. And they get rejected left and right by women.
I just hope you can find a good guy even if he isn't the hottest guy in the room. Cause if you struggle with weight, he needs to be understanding, not just good looking. Cause that is something you will probably always struggle with and a partner that thinks you are beautiful no matter what is so much more priceless then a hot face.
Im not a man but maybe I can help put it in better perspective for you instead of using the cliche mark "embrace yourself". Every person is different, some are blonde, brunette, red head, white, black, yellow, over weight and skinny. It all depends on what the person is looking for. Every man has their idealistic girl whatever it may be. As far as "hot" goes its all based on opinion, everyone has flaws and imperfections, even the drop dead sexy ones. I could go deeper into this but lol I might as well start a book. So, basically, its all about what they love you for not what you look like. Hope I helped.
She's trying to prove to herself that guys are shallow and all jerks because she's over weight and they aren't attracted to her. Yet, she's not willing to make some changes to offer guys what she she thinks they want. So she's the only one that can help herself her. She doesn't want to hear kind words or the ultimate truth of the matter.
Have an opinion?

So here's a set by set of how you set about carving Heisenberg and the Let's Cook pumpkins
Sorry for the jumble of pictures, I got arrived away and forgot to take as many as I could
As of the 27th October this Instructable has been featured. A huge thanks to all who have made this possible!
Step 1: Gather Supplies
Also gather a spoon to hollow the pumpkin
A set of very sharp knives
Dress makers pins
Greyscale template
Music, tea and patience
If you want to save the seeds for next year, you'll also need a sieve to wash the seeds
Step 2: Gut The Pumpkin
Save the seeds of you want to grow your own
Step 3: Get Your Greyscale Template
Start by opening the image in an editing software. I use Paint.Net
Find the setting to convert the picture to Black and White.
Then find the setting for "Posterize" or similar. This separates the image into different shades of grey according to the depth that you should carve to alter the light intensity.
Feel free to use my greyscale if you want
Just print onto plain A4 paper
Step 4: Attach The Template ( What Not To Do )
The paper looses all structural integrity when wet and even sharp knives end of ripping it in the wrong ways
Step 5: Attach The Template ( Right Way )
This will keep the paper dry until you start cutting
Step 6: Trace Out The Outline
This will destroy the template, so either have a device with the picture or a second print out handy for reference
Granted you used a template ( I would use), but you still have an a talent!! Wow!
You've got my vote!
I love the photo
But I should be doing a dragon one and take some pics with rocket candy smoking away inside and a Disney one for my sister

If you can't find the answer to your question here, you can try the search box over on the right. If that still doesn't help, leaving a comment with your question (or hitting me up on Twitter) is the fastest way to get a response from me. You can also email me at email@example.com, but keep in mind that it may take me a while to reply to non-urgent emails.
General policies & stuff
What's your policy on advertising and affiliate linking?
As of November 2012, I am accepting a small number of pre-approved sidebar ads. If you're interested in advertising on Door Sixteen, please visit my sponsorship page for more information.
I do sometimes use affiliate links (generated by VigLink and RewardStyle) in my posts, which means that if a product is purchased through that link, I receive a small commission. Those links have no influence whatsoever on the content of my blog, and are only added when available after a post has been written.
I have a 100% transparency policy when it comes to my blog content—you never need to wonder if I am being compensated to write about something. If any content is sponsored or otherwise compensated, that fact will be made abundantly clear.
Views expressed are my own opinion, and no one determines the content of my posts but me. I am very good at saying no.
Can I use your photos on my blog?
Sure, but please don't take the entire entry. Just take a photo or two, credit them clearly (the credit line can read "photo by Anna Dorfman" or "photo from Door Sixteen," or something along those lines), and link back directly to the specific post you took them from. When your post is up, send me the link! I always like to see who's been inspired by my blog.
To use a photo in print: You must contact me first. Chances are I'll have no problem with it, but I need to know the context first. I am happy to provide higher-resolution, un-watermarked photos when appropriate. Keep in mind that I do not allow my photos to be used as visual reference for any product links that may be used to generate revenue.
Please do not crop, alter, add graphics/text to, or otherwise alter any of my photographs. If you have a special request or need a certain size photo, please contact me.
If I've shared a photograph that's credited to someone else and you wish to repost it, please credit the original source/creator of the image and adhere to the creator's terms of use. There is no need to credit me as well.
Are you on Pinterest?
Will you blog about my product?
Maybe! You are more than welcome to contact me about your shop/site/product, but please bear in mind that I probably won't reply unless I'm going to feature you on the blog. I know that might sound kind of jerky, but it's just me here — and I get a lot of emails. I promise promise promise that I read them ALL, though, and that I really do put a lot of thought into whether or not something will be a good fit for my blog.
Will you add my site to your blogroll?
I actually don't have a public blogroll anymore. I've experimented with having "featured" links in the sidebar, but I worry that these kinds of things become popularity contests rather than ways to actually discover new blogs and interesting people. I think mentioning stuff I like contextually—like in blog posts—is a much better way for me to share links. This is just my personal preference.
I usually find new blogs by meeting people in non-email settings like blog comments (there's a field to paste your website URL in—use it!), Twitter, and through links on other sites I enjoy. I am not likely to check out blogs that are emailed to me, sorry. There just aren't enough hours in the day!
Can I link to your blog on my site?
Of course! You can link to any site you want to. No need to ask permission!
Technical & design-related stuff
Who designed your blog?
Door Sixteen is currently using a heavily modified version of the Blogum theme from WPShower, and it running on the WordPress.org publishing platform. I use Photoshop & Illustrator for image editing and graphics creation, and I do all of my coding with Coda.
You can see some of the blogs I've designed for other people in my portfolio.
Will you design my blog?
Maybe! I don't do a whole lot of freelance work, but I do occasionally do some blog design work. I design exclusively for the WordPress platform. If you're interested in hiring me, take a look at my portfolio and then get in touch. If we think we'd be a good match and I have some availability, maybe we can work together.
What kind of camera do you use?
As of September 2011, I use a Leica D-Lux 5. Most earlier photos were taken with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5. I'm not a photographer and I don't have much technical knowledge when it comes to taking pictures, so I prefer a small point & shoot with easily configurable options.
A number of photos (primarily the square ones!) were taken with an iPhone and processed with the wonderful (and addictive!) Instagram app.
What's that font?
I own (and use) a lot of fonts. A large part of my job is researching fonts. I love fonts. I'm a font nerd. That said, I don't really like to do font research for other people. I'm not trying to keep secrets or be a jerk or anything, but please understand if I don't provide lists of font names. If you'd like to do your own font research, MyFonts is GREAT starting point.
The post titles and headlines on Door Sixteen are set in Miso, designed by Mårten Nettelbladt. I also use Brandon Grotesque (designed by Hannes von Döhren) a lot for text on photos.
How do I become a book cover designer?
Short answer: I have no idea.
Slightly longer answer: I'm probably not the best person to ask for career advice, but I did do a Q&A about my job a few years ago that you may find helpful.

» Part Two: How It Works.
Can you review my portfolio?
No, sorry.
House stuff
What paint colors did you use in your house?
Other than where noted, all of the paint is from Benjamin Moore.
» Moonlight White (matte): all white walls/ceilings
» Simply White (satin): white trim/woodwork throughout house
» Soot (matte): black walls in living room and bedroom
» Toucan Black (satin): black doors and stair treads
» Valspar's Filtered Shade (matte): light gray kitchen walls
» Lacey Pearl (matte): palest gray walls in guest bedroom
» Olympic Knight's Armor (eggshell): black ceiling in downstairs bathroom
» Black Beauty (satin): exterior black trim
What paint colors did you use in your apartments?
All of the paint in the old Washington Heights apartment was from Benjamin Moore.
» Simply White (satin): white trim/woodwork throughout apartment
» Simply White (matte): all white walls
» Soot (matte): black walls in closet "office" and kitchen
The DUMBO apartment (Brooklyn #1) was already painted white when we moved in. I'm pretty sure it's Benjamin Moore Decorator's White. I'm still working on the Cobble Hill apartment (Brooklyn #2). I'll update the FAQ when it's all painted!
Do you like your IKEA Karlstad sofa?
Yes, very much! We've had it since December 2008, and so far it's held up really well. We even bought a second one in loveseat size for the apartment! I love that the covers are removable, washable, and replaceable. It's comfy, too. I have no complaints!
How's that white floor holding up?
In January 2009, I painted the floor in one room in our house white. You can read the details of the whole process here. After three years (at the time of this writing), it still looks pretty much the same as it did then. Of course there are a few scuff marks here and there, but nothing that bothers me or that couldn't easily be removed if I made the effort. Evan has a lot of heavy musical equipment in that room and spends a lot of time in there, but we haven't seen any chipping to the paint or anything like that. I just clean it with a vacuum and occasional mopping like any other room in the house.
We don't wear shoes in the house (not because of the white floor, but because we think it's gross!), so I'm sure that contributes to the general cleanliness of the house overall.
How do you know how to do all this house stuff?
The internet. If I don't know how to do something, I Google it. Trial and error helps, too. We bought this house with zero knowledge of construction or any type of home improvement beyond painting (and we weren't even doing that right). If we can do it, so can you. Really!
Wait, I'm confused. Where do you live?
We own a house in the City of Newburgh. Newburgh is about 60 miles north of Manhattan, on the west bank of the Hudson River. We also have a rental apartment in the Cobble Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn. Where we are at any given time depends on our work schedules!
Other stuff
What kind of dogs are Fritz and Bruno?
Fritz is a long-haired Chihuahua, and Bruno is a long-haired Chihuahua/Bichon Frisé mix. In August 2011, I did an interview about them for Dog Milk. If you ever wanted to know more about Fritz and Bruno, there you go!
Have you see this Morrissey/Michael Jackson/Cure-themed painting/macrame/mug yet?
Yes, I've probably already seen it, and no, I really don't want it. As much as I like listening to their music, I am not interested the related arts & crafts projects.
(No, not even the candle that's shaped like Morrissey's head.)
Thank you for thinking of me, though!
Where do you get your hair cut?
I go to Mariko at Dlala Salon in the East Village. She is a phenomenal hairdresser, and I recommend her (and Dlala!) wholeheartedly. If you go, tell Mariko I sent you!
I'm coming to New York City for a vacation. Can you recommend stuff to do or hotels to stay at?
Honestly? Not really. I've lived in or around NYC for my entire life, so I've never had to consider hotels before. I don't know what's out there right now. I'm also pretty lazy when it comes to actually doing stuff and going out. I'm really kind of lame, frankly. (I am happy to recommend vegan-friendly restaurants, though!)
How can I get more people to read my blog?
The best advice I can give you is to be yourself. Don't worry about what you think a blog is supposed to be like, just focus on getting out the stuff that you think is interesting. If you like it, chances are there's someone else who does, too. Aim for quality of content over quantity of posts. Don't apologize for liking a trend. Don't lift content from other blogs. Include your own photographs. Let your readers have a little window into your life, not just a bunch of product photos. Make it personal.

A Florida writ of garnishment is a tool that a creditor uses to seize money that a third party, such as a bank, owes to you. In addition to bank accounts, the creditor can use the writ of garnishment to seize wages and rent, for example. In Florida, a writ of garnishment is how a creditor with a judgment against you gets paid on their judgment.
Here's how it works. The creditor that obtained a judgment against you asks the Court to issue a Writ of Garnishment directed to a garnishee. The creditor, or garnishor, is then legally granted a sort of lien on whatever property you have that is owned by the third-party garnishee (like your money that is held by your bank). Once the writ of garnishment is issued, the garnishee (the bank) and the debtor (that's you) are given a chance to respond, claim exemptions, and otherwise try to dissolve the garnishment.
The law governing a Florida writ of garnishment is Chapter 77 of the Florida statutes. The statute details how a creditor asks a court to issue the writ, what notices the creditor must provide you, and what defenses you have to defend against the writ of garnishment.
These writ of garnishment procedures detailed by Chapter 77 are very strict and detailed. The law includes specific time requirements that the creditor must follow in order to successfully garnish your accounts. For example, the creditor must give you a copy of its Motion for Writ of Garnishment either within five days after issuing the writ, or within three days of serving the writ onto the garnishee, whatever is later. It must also give you a Claim of Exemption form and a copy of the Writ of Garnishment issued by the Court.
Claim of Exemption
One of the documents that the creditor must give you is called the Claim of Exemption form. This form is very important, because it lets you assert a statutory exemption that applies to whatever is being garnished. For example, if you qualify for the head of household exemption, then you could use the Claim of Exemption to assert that exemption and dissolve the writ of garnishment. Once you file the claim of exemption, you'll have a hearing with the judge where you can explain why the exemption applies.
If you file a claim of exemption, watch the calender: the creditor only has three days from the time you give them a copy of the claim of exemption to contest it. And they have to contest it with a statement under oath. If they don't strictly comply with the statutory requirements, you can include their failure to comply in a motion to dissolve the garnishment.
There are many other exemptions available to debtors as well, and some of these are not even listed on the Claim of Exemption form that the creditor must provide you.
The key thing to note is that these exemptions are not automatic. If an exemption applies to you, you must assert it property by filing the claim or a motion to dissolve the garnishment. Eventually you may need to present evidence that you qualify for the exemption.
What You Can Do Next
If your bank account or wages have been garnished through a Florida Writ of Garnishment, you may be able to get the garnishment dissolved. The law sets many strict requirements for garnishment, and if the creditor does not strictly follow the law then the garnishment can be dissolved. If you'd like help fighting a garnishment and then settling your account with the creditor, give me a call at (407) 476-6047 or contact me here.

Best juicers to buy now: Make being healthy easy
The point of a juicer isn't just to cram you full of healthy vitamins and minerals to make you feel and look better. It's to make you feel like the king of nature able to reduce mighty fruit to mere mush in minutes. We say mere mush – we mean nectar of the gods that will make you wonder how you ever lived without a juicer. Here are the best the internet has to offer.
Philips Viva Collection Juicer
£85, philips.co.uk
This top-loading (centrifugal) juicer (as shown above) has a big enough feeding tube (75mm) to let you chuck in whole fruits, produces two-litres of juice and is easy to clean.
After the 700w motor makes short work of whole apples and oranges, for example, Philips claims the QuickClean tech means your juicer will be clean in a minute. This is thanks to an electropolished sieve, all the pulp being collected in one place, and the parts being machine washable. And the mixing chamber is clear so you can watch the magic happen.
Sage Nutri Juicer
£150, sageapplicance.co.uk
This centrifugal juicer, sponsored by Heston Blumenthal, gets 70 per cent of the vitamins and minerals from fruit, quickly.
The huge feeding tube lets you change an apple from solid to juice in just two seconds – the kind of speed you would expect from Sage, which invented the first whole-fruit juicer. The titanium reinforced Nutri Disc should stay sharp for longer, even when running at the powerful 1200w setting. The only downside is a one-litre capacity, but with a froth separator and three-litre pulp tray we're not complaining.
L'Equip Omni Juicer
£180, ukjuicers.com
This is a masticating juicer. That means it takes longer to juice but produces less oxygen and heat so the nutritional value of your glassful is greater in the end.
The Omni Juicer is particularly good for those who want to juice a wider range of fruit and veg that centrifugal juicers can't handle. The L'Equip Omni exerts a crushing force on fruit and veg in three progressive stages to maximise nutrient extraction from deep within the fibres and cell membranes of the plant material you are processing. Ideal for things like wheatgrass and green leaf vegetables that you're not likely to eat without a juicer.
Omega 9000 Centrifugal Juicer
£200, omegajuicers.com
Aside from sounding like a killer robot, the Omega 900 is also special because of its treatment of pulp.
Rather than ship it off to another compartment like most juicers do, this keeps it in the centrifuge basket making sure to extract every drop of nutrient and flavour. It will take a bit longer but the end result will be a tastier, healthier juice.
Andrew James Red Smoothie Maker
£28, amazon.co.uk
For a low priced option this is a do-it-all gadget.
The Smoothie Maker comes with four different attachments for multiple functions including: smoothie maker, blender, grinder and centrifugal juicer. With a one-litre capacity and two speed settings it really offers a lot for the price.

Higher cattle prices in 2011?It has been some time since I addressed live cattle and feeders.
It has been some time since I addressed live cattle and feeders.
Seasonally, cattle futures tend to rally into the first full week of December. Thus far, this year's behavior for cattle futures going into December appears to be fully seasonal. The cash market has been rising along with an explosive move in the choice/select spread along with an aggressive chain speed.
Packers have shown they are willing to pay up for cattle, even when I hear rumors that meat may be backing up. Traditionally, cattle prices slip from about Dec 5 to 8 into Christmas and perhaps into the new year. December cattle closed the week on highs and it appears prices will be higher. The all-time high on a December contract is $115.35, so higher highs here could push this market in early December to $105.
The export market appears to be good and the trade already is poised on the long side of the market. The April contract has been trading near a $1 per hundredweight below the all-time peak on the weekly Five Area Live free-on-board steer prices. Many analysts are anticipating new all-time highs this coming spring. I find it intriguing that the funds and specs are so willing to chase this market and continue to build longs. Somewhere along the way, there should be a chance to step onto the long side of this market. After all, these markets are all about timing.
While the large spec pared its long length over the past three weeks by 12 percent and 24 percent over the last nine weeks, there still are nearly 89 percent of large speculators in the cattle market positioned on the long side.
Therefore, cash cattle prices need to mount a rapid campaign to higher prices or cattle prices are going to stall. As we go into 2011, I have no doubt that cattle prices will push higher, but perhaps the last half of the year is where that bullish attitude deserves to be placed.
The Australian dollar has been strong this year vs. the U.S. dollar, and this has held the U.S. on the top step for exports and Australian beef out of the U.S. market. For the past three weeks, I have been bullish towards the dollar and predicted that a low was eminent. That appears to have occurred. As the currency changes take place, we may see a slight improvement in imports of Australian beef.
Last winter was on of the worst since the '60s, and that, along with poor-quality corn, kept weights this year below the previous year. While that trend hasn't changed much, the future looks different.
With good-quality corn from this past harvest and reports of fabulous weight gains on a combination of good quality corn and mild weather (also expected in cattle country this winter) carcass weights could increase by 10 to 15 pounds over the past January to February period and even more as we go into spring. Remember, the winter in January to March really stunted gains. Beef production should gain significantly in the first four months of 2011.
Also note that deferred contracts are carrying nice premiums, and unless corn gets astronomically high, the incentive to feed cattle longer may happen. However, the economy appears to be improving, and along with that should be an increase in beef demand.

Bilinmeyenli birinci denklemler dereceden iki
The worthy padre had no sympathy with him; he bilinmeyenli birinci denklemler dereceden iki never been Estudiante sopista, obliged to sing for his supper. He blockaded the house by day, catching a glance of the damsel now and then as she appeared at a casement; but these glances only fed his flame without encouraging his hope. He serenaded her balcony at night, and bilinmeyenli birinci denklemler dereceden iki one time was flattered by the appearance of something white at a window. Alas, it was only the nightcap of the padre. Never was lover more devoted, never damsel more shy the poor student was reduced to despair. At length arrived the eve of St. John, when the lower classes of Granada swarm into the country, dance away the afternoon, and pass midsummers night on the banks of the Darro and the Xenil. Happy are they who on this eventful night can wash their faces in those waters just as the Cathedral bell tells midnight; for at that precise moment they have a beautifying power.

DEAR JEANNE & LEONARD: My brother is in love. Unfortunately, his fiancee is a liar who is completely misrepresenting her financial situation. Awhile back I began to suspect that she was less than truthful -- I'm a CPA, and there were things this woman said that didn't add up -- so I did a background check. What I discovered is that she doesn't own the property she says she owns, isn't a partner in the business she says is hers, and is in the process of filing for bankruptcy.

We are excited to extend an invitation for you to visit us at Heritage. We have put together a list of typical questions that people may have prior to attending to help you feel as comfortable as possible as a first time visitor.
How do I get to Heritage? Our Sunday morning services are held in a rented space at the John Knox Village retirement community in Lee's Summit, Missouri. Directions can be found here. If you would like to join us for one of our other meetings, please contact us to get the latest times and meeting places.
What is the worship style? We seek to implement the Scriptural commands of worship in the elements of our service. Therefore, we have times of the preaching/teaching/reading of the Word of God, prayer, congregational singing of Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, and public testimony. We celebrate the Lord's Supper on the first Sunday of each month. Our music is best described as traditional, using the Baptist Hymnal, though we may print a new hymn to sing in our bulletin as well.
What times are the services at Heritage? Our Bible Study starts at 9:30 AM and lasts until 10:15-10:30. We then have a short time of fellowship until 10:45 when our Worship service begins.
Do you offer a nursery or children's Sunday School? At this time, we do not have a staffed nursery or a children's Sunday School. We do have a separate room that families with small children can use and still hear the worship service through overhead speakers. Currently, our families have decided to keep their children of all ages in the services. This does not mean that we are opposed to having a children's Sunday School for younger ages; we are just not currently at a point of staffing and utilizing it.
What should I wear? In our view, your Sunday Best is the most comfortable (yet respectful) clothes in which to worship. We will have some folks in Dockers and others in Wranglers. But while we don't expect everyone to wear ties, we do strive to maintain modesty.
Are visitors invited to join the meal on the first Sunday of the month? Absolutely! We would love to have you as our guest. Please don't worry about bringing a dish, we always have more than enough. The meal usually begins after 12:00 and we have a good time of fellowship until about 1:30 or 2:00.
Meeting every Sunday
in the Ambassador Room
of John Knox Village
in Lee's Summit, MO

Real Housewives of New York
Aviva Drescher Apologizes for Dissing Heather Thomson
On The Real Housewives of New York Season 5, Episode 6: "I'm UK, You're UK," Aviva Drescher stayed home with Ramona Singer while the rest of the gals jetted off to London. While back in the states, Aviva and Ramona had a dinner that, surprise, surprise, eventually circled around making fun of Heather Thomson.
More specifically, Ramona went on and on about how Heather talks too much while Aviva sat there and laughed. Aviva also made general statements of agreement with Ramona's various anti-Heather opinions.
So, how did Heather react when the episode aired and she saw Aviva's complacency in the teasing? Surprisingly well, actually!
Last night during the episode Aviva tweeted about the dinner, "That is so mean. I was laughing nervously. Sorry @iamHeatherT." (She also applauded her husband for "calling Ramona out.")
Heather responded to the apology, saying, "love u mama!"
It sounds like there was no harm done. Hey, when you're a Real Housewife, you have to expect a little meanness behind your back, even from your friends.
The Real Housewives of New York airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.

Tag: Kara Goucher's Running For Women
I'm An Author!
by Kara Goucher on Mar.31, 2011, under News
People often ask me what I did to keep busy while I was pregnant. Well, one of the things I did was work on making another baby: my first book! It's called Kara Goucher's Running for Women, and it will be published officially next Tuesday (April 5) by Touchstone. It's a pretty comprehensive collection of tips and advice for women runners, especially beginners. Every topic from getting started to diet, motivation to injury prevention, is covered.
What makes this book a little different from other books for women runners is that all of the information is based on my experience. I don't really consider myself a coach, so I'm not comfortable just telling runners what to do. What I am comfortable doing is saying, "Here's what has worked for me, and I think it can probably work for you, too." When I talk to other runners, they seem curious to know what I do anyway, so I'm hopeful that more than a few people will be interested in what I have to say!
Mine is not the only perspective in the book, though. I've also included bits of wisdom from some of the many people who have played critical roles in my success, including my current coach, Alberto Salazar, and my active release therapist, Justin Whittaker.
I have to admit, putting the book together was harder than I thought it would be. I have a whole new respect for people like Adam Bean (who helped me with my book) who do it for a living. It was a worthwhile experience, and I'm proud of how it came out, but I'm happy that both of my new babies have been delivered so I can fill my days with running again!

The price of oil rose on Monday, with Brent approaching a nine-month high at $114/bbl, after Islamic militants captured more territory in Iraq. Solid manufacturing data from China also sparked concernes global oil demand could soon jump.
Over the weekend Islamic insurgents seized four new towns and two border crossings of Iraq's frontiers with Jordan and Syria. The blitz has greatly expanded the territory under their control in the North.
Brent oil reached its highest level since September 9th last year to $114.02 a barrel in Nasdaq Stock Exchange. At the same time crude futures for August delivery rose to $107.17 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Jorge Montepeque, Global Director of Market Reporting at Platts in an interview with RT called the current trend in the oil market as a "precaution."
"I think people have done the precautionary buying. And if they see some production shading, then prices could go up even further. But the situation is changing so quickly in Iraq right now," Jorge Montepeque said.
"Even though the oil is mainly delivered through the south, there could be some disruptions. And the most likely thing is that some production will be lost," he added.
Earlier on Monday, China posted strong manufacturing datafor June indicating that the slowdown in the country's economy is bottoming out. The HSBC preliminary manufacturing purchasing managers index PMI came in at a seven-month high of 50.8 compared with 49.4 in May.
It is the first time this year the index has moved above the 50 mark, showing expansion and leading to increased energy demand.

Someone needs to get a new resave of 7.1 to do their installations.
I seem to remember a bunch of hoops around TR3 or 4. Once you were past
that, putting on a new TR wasn't nearly as much of a chore.

Quake III: Team Arena
Score: 9.2 / 10
Quake III: Team Arena is the official add-on package for the widely popular Quake III: Arena. The add-on includes some new characters for your fraggin' pleasure in addition to more levels and game modes. Included are the new team games of One Flag Capture the Flag, Overlord and Harvester in addition to the returning Capture the Flag (CTF). All of these new games take place in the Capture the Flag maps where there are two distinct bases of operation, namely the blue and red teams.
The One Flag CTF is a variation as it is named, there is one flag on the course, usually right in the middle of the map. To score in this game, someone must grab the flag and instead of running home, must run right into the opposing base of operations and place it on their flagpole in order to score. This variation can quickly become extremely difficult, especially when playing with a large number of players or bots. With all the dead players re-spawning at their home base, going on a shooting rampage could make your blitz into enemy territory exponentially more difficult.
The Overlord game is a different type of invasion match, where the objective is to destroy a skull in the center of the enemy base which can absorb 2000 hit points (with bullets counting as 1 and 10 for rockets and rail shots). Needless to say, strategy is extremely important in this match where a full-out assault could win the
game quickly, and a team relying on defense could allow their attackers to prevail. It's a tricky balancing act between offense and defense. An Overlord game can take an extraordinarily large amount of time to play, so don't make any plans.
The final addition is my personal favorite, the Harvester match. At the center of the map is the skull generator, a machine that spits out a skull for every character fragged. To score points,
collect enemy skulls at the generator and run them to the collection point in the enemy base. Although a killing rampage could rack up a large number of skulls for your team to collect, you are going to have quite the reception waiting for you when you try to score.
The greatest of the additions has to be the spectacular on-screen displays. The new displays keep all of the vital statistics accessible with a glance, and adds orders and a position title – an excellent addition if you get lost easily on the new maps. Also added are three new weapons: the nailgun, the prox launcher and the chain gun, all of which are welcome additions to the action. To the chagrin of your enemies, some specialty tools are available: an invulnerability sphere and a kamikaze attack. Finally, the id Software team added something different, POWERUPS! This is a great idea! At your base there are a variety of power-ups that can be used by your team: Guard (non-degrading armor and health), Scout (increases rate of movement and fire), Doubler (doubles attack damage), and Ammo Regen (regenerates ammo as you expend it). A certain amount of thought and strategy is required in choosing. And since you can only use one as a team, you must choose what is best for your squad.
My complaints about this title are few, the most important of those being some sound issues. During game play, it sometimes locks on a sound reminiscent of a waterfall for about 20 seconds but does not affect the game in any other way. Of minor annoyance is that the new on-screen display cannot be played in the base Quake III: Arena, which is a real letdown because of how great the new layout is. Finally, I must mention the missing team death match, which really is missed from a collection of great team games like this.
Quake III: Team Arena is a great add-on for fans of the Quake series and multiplayer mayhem. This is a must have for the frag fanatic.
- Tazman
NOTE: You must have the full version of Quake 3 Arena to play Team Arena.

The word "mine" as in mining industry apparently comes from Middle English, from Old French, from Vulgar Latin, possibly from the earlier Celtic word mina. Not much has changed. It is pure liguistic quirkiness that it sounds like mine as in "that hat is mine."
In Latin a miner was a minutor. In French mineur. In Spanish minero, -a. No surprises there.
In German things get confusing. If you can help me sort out the details, please do. The New English-German Dictionary gives these translations for "miner"
miner — der Bergarbeiter
miner — der Bergmann
miner — der Grubenarbeiter
miner — der Knappe
miner — der Kumpel (Bergbau)
miner — die Bergleute
From what I recall of my German, berg is a mountain and arbeiter is a worker, hence we have a miner as a mountainworker.
In Dutch, as in Afrikaans, the miner is a mijnwerker or mynwerker respectively.
My Fanakalo dictionary gives me these translations:
- mine n. => mayin
- mine pron. => ka mina
- mine overseer => mayin kap (which is what my father was)
- miner (ganger) => bas
- workers (workmen) => basebenzi
In Farsi (the language of Iran) mine is madan. The word for miner is the surname of the soccer player Mehrzad Madanchi – maybe he is just at heart a miner.
This is all just for fun. If you have the translation for mine and miner in other languages, please send them along and I will try to share them.

The pros and cons of adopting cloud technology for your company
• Consider a professional cloud consultation.
• Before signing on with a service provider visit the data center, or ask your IT specialist or cloud consultant to do it for you. Depending on the system this may or may not be necessary.
• Carefully review a cloud service contract with an eye to issues including who owns the data stored at a public facility.
• If you choose to rely on internal resources, make sure you have solid backup, a disaster plan and redundant Internet pathways.

September 1 message
Good Morning: I hope you have had a good week. A few things to share today:
Welcome Linda Kutzke! Linda Kutzke began work this week as Support staff in Kandiyohi County. Linda has previous Extension experience from Clay County, Minnesota. Linda's hours are Monday through Thursday from 8:15 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Those hours are also the hours the Kandiyohi Extension office is open to the public. Linda's e-mail address will be firstname.lastname@example.com (however that address is not yet activated).
4H Program Coordinator opening: The Lyon County 4H Program Coordinators position is currently posted. Application deadline is September 16th. The position is currently open due to the resignation of the previous Lyon County 4H PC Laurie Palmer.
Promise Fellows: While it is not completely confirmed, we expect two Promise Fellow positions will be hired in the region in October. These twelve month positions will expand youth educational experiences in focused areas. The positions in our region will be in Lyon and Kandiyohi counties.
Gift questions: Earlier this week we all received an e-mail about the staff and faculty gifts that were distributed at the Celebrate U day. Distribution of gifts for staff that did not receive the gifts at Celebrate U day and are located on campus goes through campus mail. For Extension staff located in County or Regional Offices, distribution will be handled as in past years. All of the gifts will be drop shipped to Coffey Hall, and Regional Directors will deliver them to office locations over the next few weeks. So, be patient.
President at the Fair: Last Sunday, U of M President Kaler spent time at the 4H building at the Minnesota State Fair learning about the variety of exhibits, experiences, and opportunities enjoyed by the 6,800 4H members participating in this year's State Fair.

2007 Nevada Field School
Week 4
Before the beginning of field school, I spent a few days at the Nevada State Museum studying the archaeological site files. I was searching, particularly, for records of Paleoarchaic sites south of our research area. I reasoned that such sites, resting as they do between east-central Nevada, where there are sources of volcanic toolstones, and major geologic sources of obsidian further south, might provide clues as to the spatial patterns of material movement and hence to patterns of human movement. After pouring-over the files for several days, I learned there had been little reconnaissance in the region and thus there was a dearth of recorded sites. And, adding to my disappointment, the only candidates for study were in Coal Valley. Thus far we've only toyed with desert conditions; Coal Valley is desert.
I explained that our two night visit to Coal Valley would test our outdoor skills; there would be no water except what we carried, precious few trees, lower elevations and higher temperatures, and relentless sun. On top of this, we had no clue as to where we would camp. The only candidate, a narrow canyon that I recollected from an earlier visit, might have to suffice.
We arrived mid-afternoon in Coal Valley (we spent the morning in Ely while our pick-up underwent some warranty repair). If there were concerns about our stay in Coal Valley, nobody mentioned them while we conducted reconnaissance. We began our search for a camp in the late afternoon, slowly making our way down a gravel road on the west side of the valley. We reached the fan emerging from the canyon I remembered and I found a narrow two-track to follow into the canyon. We proceeded for a couple of miles; the canyon was narrowing, the road was getting worse, and we had found no campsite. At this point I stopped my truck, got out, and declared we had reached out camping spot. Puzzlement and disappointment were the mildest reactions. The place was declared "unsuitable for camping; no doubt, there were scorpions and rattlesnakes everywhere." Still, though rather exposed, it was a good campsite--cliffs to scramble on, new cactus to identify, military jets breaking the sound barrier--with enough flat places, if you counted rock ledges, for everyone to sleep. Once above the walls of the canyon, the views into Coal Valley were spectacular, that is, if you like stark desert scenes.
Our field studies in Coal Valley would commence at 26Ln2072, a site that was discovered in the early 1970s when the whole of the Great Basin was slated to receive a mobile missiles system--the MX project. Small areas in many valleys were surveyed for archaeological sites in advance of construction. Thankfully, the system was never built--GPS and satellite surveillance would have made the system obsolete in short order. In any event, in one of the MX units, a survey team discovered a stone tool scatter containing broken bifacially-flaked tools. The site record they produced contained no information about cultural affiliation or age, but it did include sketches of some of the artifacts the team found. When I saw these I knew immediately that this was an early site; the discovers had missed the call, but to be fair, far less known about the early record 30 years ago.
We relocated the site, which was pretty much as described in the inventory. While some members of our group marked artifacts with surveyors pins, others expanded their reconnaissance of areas south of the site, which had not been investigated previously.
And they hit pay dirt--an enormous site, some 200 x 400 m, with several dense clusters of stone tools containing projectile points, scrapers, and crescents. Every diagnostic tool was consistent with an occupation age of 10,000 years or greater. I'll let Lisa Fontes give her impression of the site, but let me say in closing that, with the exception of the first site I ever found, this is the most amazing (an overused term this summer) Paleoarchaic site I've found (well, you see, I'm sharing credit for its discovery).
Home Sweet Home, or my Tent
Rachel Horowitz
I never realized how attached I would become to my tent. We have gone on two overnight trips since our arrival here. The first was to Blue Mass on the Utah-Nevada border for one night, while the second was to Coal Valley, for three days and two nights.
During our overnights, we all slept out under the stars in our sleeping bags. While the night sky was particularly beautiful, there are a few drawbacks to sleeping out in the elements. The first is the wind. Your tent protects you from the wind, so it does not blow across you face. The second is insects. Your tent keeps out all sorts of creatures, making for a much more relaxing sleep.
Basically, during our time here, our tents have become a home to us. They protect us from the elements and provide us with a little space that is or own, where we can go to get away from the hustle and bustle of camp. When we arrive back from the field each day, I can see my tent as we approach camp, giving just a little measure of security.
(I wonder if Rachel would feel quite this way if her tent had been one of those invaded by our neighbor, Morris, the rock squirrel. Think of a grey squirrel on steroids.)
Coal Valley
Lisa Fontes
We began our first day in Coal Valley trying to locate 26Ln2072 (the 2072nd site in Lincoln County, Nevada). After parking our vehicles along a dirt road in the center of the valley, we walked about a km to the east to get us in the vicinity of the site. Tom organized a simple reconnaissance. Groups of two moved in a radial patterns from our stopping point. I took several pin flags and moved off on a due east heading.
After about 30 minutes of searching and finding only isolated artifacts, I lost hope in finding anything cool. I decided to walk toward another group who, from a great distance, looked to have found something. That's when I looked down and saw a large chert cortex flake. I scuffed the ground, replaced the flake, and continued on my way. But as I looked around, I started to see all sorts of flakes--cortex, bifacial thinning, interior flakes, made out of dacite and obsidian, and many varieties of chert. While there were no artifacts that were early diagnostics, I did find and mark over 200 flakes. By noon I knew that I had stumbled upon a manufacture area. When we met for lunch I found out that other people had had similar successes. Victor and Mary Ann found a cluster of artifacts that include stemmed point fragments, bifaces, unifaces and scrapers. In addition, several people found crescents, a tool with an unknown purpose and also a rare find. The group finished the day exhausted from the heat, but surely invigorated by the site we had discovered.
The next day in Coal Valley was just as interesting. We performed an in-field analysis at 26Ln2072 using our new Trimble GPS receiver to record location and other data about each artifact. To use it the receiver one simply stands over the artifact's position and records location, material type, size, tool class, etc. While a couple of people assisted Tom with the analysis, the rest of us tried to determine the boundaries of the site we discovered the previous day. This was difficult because of the complex changes in artifact density over the area.
Our trip to Coal Valley was significant for several reasons. We found an awesome site that covers a large area. This site has a wide range of tool types and diversity of materials, including fine-grained volcanics, obsidian, and many types of chert. The site includes rare crescents, stemmed points, bifaces, scrapers, and probably thousands of flakes. We were able to collect artifact samples from 26Ln2072 and the surrounding area, which will be sourced. I hope these analyses will help us to understand the complex patterns of movement by Paleoarchaic people in this part of the Great Basin.

Students weary about fallout from transit cuts
February 17, 2012
By Zachary Romano, Brandeis Hoot
In preparation for a March 1 Waltham hearing on MBTA cuts, Student Union President Herbie Rosen '12 and Vice President Gloria Park '13 organized a Town Hall Forum on Monday night for members of the Brandeis community to voice their concerns and hear the university's response to the recent MBTA plans.
Brandeis University's Senior Vice President of Communications and External Affairs Andrew Gully spoke on behalf of the administration. "There is a temptation to say that we want action now," he said, "but there is a long period of comment. This issue is a political process just as much as a budget process."
While a handful of students attended the Town Hall meeting, others rallied at Occupy the MBTA, an extension of the overall Occupy movement. On Monday evening, protesters organized by the T-Riders Union took to the rail lines as a means of retaliating against proposed service reductions and fare increases.
"The atmosphere in the demo was incredible. Many familiar faces from the Occupy Boston community, standing strong with the T workers union," Noam Lekach, organizer of the Brandeis protest, said.
According to Brandeis Sustainability Coordinator Janna Cohen-Rosenthal, Brandeis makes full use of current MBTA offerings.
"Twenty-five percent of all the trips applicable commuters make that we reported to DEP were in public transit. Applicable commuters are those who work and/or study more than 17 hours per week; don't use their car for work; and don't live on campus. When just employees are taken out, it's about 13 percent of employees who take public transportation and 18 percent of students for commuting purposes."

In its first update since December of last year, Tweetbot for iPhone (review) is newly updated with a few additional features in version 3.3 today.
Joining the system font of Helvetica is an option to use Avenir found in the app settings. Additional features include toggles for image preview size (larger or disabled) and improvements to list filtering as well as standard bug fixes.
Tweetbot for iPhone is $4.99 on the App Store. Version 3.3 is a free update to Tweetbot 3 users.
(Now we're hoping the time between updates means progress on Tweetbot for iPad is well under way!)

4 Responses to "Tweetbot for iPhone adds Avenir font option, thumbnail and filter toggles, more"
All they need to do is lower the price. $5 for a Twitter client is ridiculous.
Dude, it`s like the price of two beers for a brilliant piece of software you (I at least) use throughout the entire day, day in, day out. Not expensive at all, definatly not ridiculous as you say.
I like the update. Not so keen on the new Avenir font, but really like the new thumbnail options and some nice bugfixes.
Still not worth the price for what is essentially just a re-skin. I will be sticking to Tweetbot 2 which does everything just as good.

Networking Strategy Workshop
Learn how to make the time you invest in networking pay off!
Friday, June 26th
9:00 am – 11:30 am
Best Western Coquitlam Convention Centre
319 North Rd.
Details and Registration: Marketing Workshop
The only thing standing in the way between what you have now…and where you want to be is marketing
- Difficulty finding new clients.
- Problems explaining what you do in a way that people actually UNDERSTAND.
- Spending time and money in marketing efforts that don't pay off. (Websites that don't work, coffee conversations that go nowhere, blog posts that no one reads and social media updates that get "likes" but don't lead to sales.)
and the "stuff" that comes with it
- Procrastination, fear or self-doubt.
- Confusion, overwhelm, lack of a clear plan. (Ack! Where do I start?)
- Too much to do, too little time.
Any of that sound familiar? The answer is simple (yet not necessarily easy):
Learn How to Market Yourself Effectively. Then Take Regular Action.
I'm here to help you do both of those things.
I KNOW what it's like to struggle with marketing (I was NOT born with these skills!)
I've taken the best of what I've learned (I've invested well over $100,000 in programs and coaching) and experienced (20+ years of self-employment) to develop the programs I offer.
You will find no shortcuts, blueprints, get-rich-quick schemes or hyped up promises of 6 figure "income explosions."
Success over the long term requires exactly what you would expect: hard work, consistent effort over time and excellent customer service. And it requires marketing.
What I offer is practical advice and programs – based on sound marketing principles – specifically designed for solo operators who need to make the most of their time and money (and want to market themselves with honesty and integrity.)
The Marketing Action System: Affordable marketing education designed specifically for solopreneurs
From figuring out what to sell, what to charge (and who's going to buy it) – to developing your website – to exactly what to say when you have a prospective client on the phone – it's all covered. (And available instantly!)

Patty K's courses are the best
I have attended many business-development or personal-development courses geared toward independent entrepreneurs and business people, but Patty K's are the best I've attended.
~ Shael Stonebridge, Registered Holistic Nutritionist
The Marketing Action Club: Community, accountability and support
Being independent doesn't mean you have to do everything alone. Join a growing community of supportive fellow solopreneurs in the Marketing Action Club.

When you work alone you really need to connect
The best part of MAC? Just having a CLUB (sense of belonging) that meets regularly every week bright and fairly early Monday morning with mid-week reminders – lots of great discussion and ideas and aha moments. When you work alone you really need to connect with other people trying to move forward with their businesses. Everyone needs a coach, or two!
~ Joanne Wilson, ESLBC
Feedback, Advice and Hands On Help: Consulting, coaching, writing and website development
My personal "super power" is cutting through all the confusion to get to the core of what you offer – turning that into a client-attracting service package – and coming up with the exact words that describe what you do (in a way that people really GET)

More new clients in the last month than I've had all year
Thank you again for the help and advice you gave me re: my websites and profiles on directories.

D.C. Weather Forecast
Heat and humidity linger, with some scattered severe storms possible by this afternoon.
Today: Hot & Humid, Scat'd. Afternoon & Evening Storms, Possibly Severe
Highs: 93°-98° | Heat Index: 104°-108°
Overnight: Few T 'Showers Early, Otherwise Partly Cloudy
Lows: 67°-75° | Wind: NW 3-6
Tomorrow: Partly Cloudy, Some Storms Likely
Highs: 88°-93° | Wind: NW 5-10
Yesterday we hit 100° at Reagan National Airport marking the 7th time we have hit 100+ this month and 8th time this year. With the cold front to our north today, we will sweat through another hot and steamy day with highs in the mid 90s. There will be a chance of more gusty storms, especially in the afternoon/evening as the cold front draws closer. The front will finally sag through the area tomorrow with more thunderstorms. Ahead of the front will be more soupy weather with highs in the low 90s. Behind the front, however, our winds will become northwesterly, inviting cooler and more pleasant weather into the region to end the weekend. Under plenty of sunshine, highs Sunday will hold in the upper 80s. Have a great weekend!
