What is SAILS mode?
SAILS stands for Supplemental Adaptive Intra-Volume Low-Level Scans. The concept adds a low level scan during the modes of operation used in the modes used for severe weather observations. This new low level scan is introduced into the approximate middle of the volume scan. In a volume scan, the radar scans elevation angles between .5° and 19.5°. When the radar has an AVSET termination angle of 19.5 degres and the current scan reaches 3.1°, the radar transitions back to the .5° elevation for an additional scan and then elevates back up to 4° to complete the volume scan. Lower AVSET termination angles results in a quicker insertion of the SAILS scan. This additional scan allows for more frequent scans of the lower levels and only increases the volume scan times to at most 40 seconds.
You can learn more about SAILS from the National Weather Service http://www.weather.gov/gsp/sails
What is RadarScope?
Whether you are scanning reflectivity for a mesocyclone's tell-tale hook echo, trying to pinpoint the landfall of a hurricane's eye wall, or looking for small features like velocity couplets in the storm relative radial velocity product, RadarScope gives you the power to view true radial NEXRAD weather radar on your Mac.
RadarScope displays tornado, severe thunderstorm, and flash flood warnings issued by the National Weather Service. You can browser the list of active warnings in the information sidebar, select a warning to view the details, and even zoom to the selected warning on the map.
Zoom in and out on the map using the mouse or pinch gestures on multi-touch trackpads. Click and drag to scroll around the map. Select one of the 155 different radar sites using buttons on the map, the full radar list in the sidebar, or your list of saved favorites in the menu bar. Tap the play button to download and animate up to 20 radar frames. Display the names of over 25,000 cities and towns on the map as you zoom and scroll. Move the cursor over the color legend to see the data value associated with each color. You can also save the currently displayed map several common image formats.
Meanwhile, RadarScope will retrieve and display updated data automatically and intelligently (approximately every 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the radar scan strategy).
You can display Level 3 radar data from NOAA's public access web site, Weather Decision Technologies, or your Allison House subscriber account.

Precipitation Depiction
SuperRes / Base Reflectivity
The dBZ values increase as the strength of the signal returned to the radar increases. The scale of dBZ values is related to the intensity of rainfall. It is important to remember, however, that the radar shows only areas of returned energy and not necessarily precipitation. So the presence of a return, especially a very weak return below 20 dBZ, doesn't always mean that it's raining.
The colors along the bottom of the map correspond to precipitation types and intensities. When you move your cursor across the squares, RadarScope will display a value for each color. NEXRAD radars can't distinguish between different types of precipitation with absolute certainty. However, reflectivity values can be somewhat roughly associated with different precipitation types:
- 10 dBZ (blue) – Very light rain or light snow
- 20 dBZ (green) – Light rain or moderate to heavy snow
- 30 dBZ (yellow) – Moderate rain or sleet showers
- 40 dBZ (orange) – Moderate to heavy rain or sleet showers
- 50 dBZ (red) – Heavy thunderstorms
- 60 dBZ (pink) – Intense to severe thunderstorms with hail
Like in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean," these reflectivity values are more like guidelines than rules. This is a rough guide only. The atmosphere is a complex system, so you can't always associate particular values with precise conditions or events. As a general rule, the higher the dBZ value, the heavier the concentration of objects at that location in the atmosphere.

Composite Reflectivity
Because it combines data from all the tilts, the composite reflectivity product is one of the last to be produced during a volume scan. As with all NEXRAD products, it's important to remember that the data displayed in the image depict conditions that have already happened rather than what is happening right now.

SuperRes / Base Velocity
Note that the radar can only detect the component of the velocity vector along the radar beam, so this isn't a full picture of the wind field. But it gives you a fairly good idea which way a storm is heading.
Since the beam is sent out at an angle to the ground, it is looking higher up in the atmosphere as it gets farther from the radar. So the data you see in a radar image are often thousands of feet above the ground. At that height, wind speeds are often higher than they are on the ground. Doppler velocity products are valuable tools for meteorologists to use to determine motion in storm systems. But if you're interested in surface level winds, your best bet is to look at data from weather stations on the ground. There are several other sources on the web which provide such information.

Storm Relative Velocity
It's also worth noting that the above rotation images are ideal cases. We aren't always lucky enough to get such prominent radar signatures from tornadoes. The radar isn't looking at ground level, so it can't actually see the tornado itself. It's seeing rotation higher up in the storm covering an area that is several miles wide. The height and width of the radar beam increases with its distance from the radar. So the farther away a storm is from the radar, the higher up the radar is seeing and the wider the beam, making it is less likely to detect the rotation associated with a tornado.

Clear Air Mode
This more sensitive mode of operation allows meteorologists to see what's going on in the atmosphere even though no rain is falling. Clear air mode gives meteorologists the ability to see things like cold fronts and subtle airmass boundaries. When conditions are right, these boundaries can become the focal point for storm initiation, so being able to see them is extremely important. Clear air mode is also useful for detecting very light drizzle and light snow. Sometimes these phenomena do not generate a strong enough return signal to be detected in precipitation mode, but are clearly visible in the more sensitive clear air mode. For this reason, the NWS will sometimes leave a radar in clear air mode when it's snowing.
RadarScope supports a couple of display options for clear air mode. By default, RadarScope hides the colors associated with lower reflectivity values. But if you enable "Expert Mode" in the preferences, it reveals the full color scale. This reveals more of the detail seen by the radar, but it means that what you often see is a big plume of dust, insects, and other clutter surrounding the radar. The following two images provide an example of this using the same clear air mode base reflectivity product. The first image uses RadarScope's default color scale. The second image uses RadarScope's expert mode color scale.
When precipitation begins within the coverage area of a particular radar, the NWS usually switches to precipitation mode. This mode looks more like what you'd expect when looking at radar images on various web sites.
You can learn more about clear air mode on this National Weather Service page:
For most purposes, the casual user will want to stick with tilt 1, which is closest to the ground. But keep in mind, even the lowest tilt can be sampling at thousands of feet above the ground depending on the distance from the radar. There can still be a lot of weather happening in that lowest few thousand feet beneath the beam, even for the lowest tilt.
Reflectivity Tilt 1
Reflectivity Tilt 2
Reflectivity Tilt 3
Reflectivity Tilt 4
You can learn more about radar tilts on this National Weather Service page:
You'll notice that the radar pixels become wider as you move away from the radar.
Update Interval
As a radar collects a volume scan, it first collects a 360 degree sample at an elevation angle of 0.5 degrees (tilt 1), then a scan for tilt 2, and so on, increasing elevation angle with each revolution. Once all the tilts for a given volume scan have been collected, it will recycle back down to tilt 1 and do it all over again. However, recent updates to the NEXRAD software insert an additional 0.5 degree scan in the approxmit middle of the volume scan. This new scan strategy is called SAILS.
This is why NEXRAD radar images update on a 2-10 minute interval.
RadarScope is tuned to the NEXRAD volume scan strategy and only checks for new data at times defined by the current operating mode. Checking for updates more often than that is an unnecessary waste of resources because new data will not exist until the volume scan is complete.
More Information
The National Weather Service has some good information on its web site about NEXRAD radar products. Here are a couple of good pages that provide starting points for learning more about NEXRAD radar:
Terminal Doppler Weather Radar
The TDWRs have a different product set than the standard NEXRAD Radars.
Dual-Pol Products
Differential Reflectivity (ZDR)
Positive values indicate that the targets are larger horizontally than they are vertically, while negative values indicate that the targets are larger vertically than they are horizontally. Values near zero suggest that the target is spherical, with the horizontal and vertical size being nearly the same. Differential Reflectivity is available in two resolutions: 8-bit at 1 degree x 0.25 km resolution and 4-bit at 1 degree x 1.0 km resolution.
Differential Reflectivity values are biased toward larger particles. Stated differently, the larger the particle, the more it contributes to the resulting reflectivity factor. Hence while raindrops are normally wider than they are tall which would tend to yield a positive ZDR value, a scattering of large hailstones in the same volume of air being observed will yield a ZDR value closer to 0, because the spherical shape of the larger objects contributes more to the final reflectivity value. If the base reflectivity product is indicating high dBZ values whereas differential reflectivity is returning values near zero, then the volume in question is likely filled with a mixture of hail and rain.
Correlation Coefficient (CC)
Correlation Coefficient serves well at discerning echoes of meteorological significance. Non-meteorological echoes (such as birds, insects, and ground clutter) produce a complex scattering pattern which causes the horizontal and vertical pulses of the radar to vary widely from pulse to pulse, yielding CC values typically below 0.8. Hail and melting snow are non-uniform in shape and thus cause a scattering effect as well, but these meteorological echoes have more moderate CC values ranging from 0.8 to 0.97. Uniform meteorological echoes such as found in rain and hail yield well-behaved scatter patterns, and their CC from pulse to pulse generally exceeds 0.97.
The accuracy of the Correlation Coefficient product degrades with distance from the radar. The CC will also decrease when multiple types of hydrometeors are present within a pulse volume, thus a volume with rain and hail will yield a lower CC than the same volume with solely rain.
Specific Differential Phase (KDP)
While this correspondence between positive values (horizontal) and negative values (vertical) is analogous to Differential Reflectivity (ZDR), there is a key distinction: differential phase is dependent on particle concentration. That is, the more horizontally oriented targets are present within a pulse volume, the greater the positive differential phase shift. Thus a high concentration of small raindrops could yield a higher differential phase value than a smaller concentration of larger raindrops. Differential phase shifting is largely unaffected by the presence of hail, and shifts in snow and ice crystals are typically near zero degrees. Non-meteorological echoes (birds, insects, and so forth) produce highly variable differential phase shifts.
Specific Differential Phase (KDP) is defined as the range derivative of the differential phase shift along a radial. Its possible values range from -2 to 7 in units of degrees per kilometer. It is available in two resolutions: 8-bit at 1 degree x 0.25 km resolution and 4-bit at 1 degree x 1.0 km resolution. It is best used to detect heavy rain. Areas of heavy rain will typically have high KDP due to the size or concentration of the drops. Hail and snow/ice crystals have no preferential orientation and will yield KDP values near zero degrees. Non-meteorological echoes will result in noisy KDP values. KDP is not calculated for areas in which the Correlation Coefficient (CC) is less than 0.9, which will result in gaps in the rendered data.
Hydrometeor Classification (HC)
- BI- Biological (birds, insects)
- GC – Ground clutter (buildings, trees)
- IC – Ice crystals
- DS – Dry snow
- WS – Wet snow
- RA – Light/moderate rain
- HR – Heavy rain
- BD – Big drops
- GR – Graupel (soft ice, snow pellets)
- HA – Hail-rain
- UK – Unknown
- RF – Range folded
The Hydrometeor Classification product should be used in conjunction with other data for proper interpretation, as it is merely an algorithm and not an absolute indicator of what is occurring at a particular location. As currently implemented, the algorithm determines only the most likely type of hydrometeor, omitting information pertaining to the likelihood of other categories.

45 year old man | Boardman, OH, USA | Seeking women 30-50 within 50 miles
Extroverto looking for Extroverta!
This the part where I could say anything I want, right? Well, since you'll find out when we meet, better tell it straight. I am a hard worker(50 hrs) a week. I do take time to fit in 4 day get aways. Love the outdoors, skiing, horseback riding, motorcycle riding, parks, boating and anything outdoors with someone special. More to come! OK,Update!! Please do not contact me if you are here to play games! As I said, I do work alot so do not have time to chase anyone. This is almost a part time job in itself. I have met some nice women here online, yet to meet in person though. I have only been on this site for three weeks. If I do not reply to your emails, please give me time. I will either way, sorry if I hurt anyones feelings but honesty has to be up front.I wish everyone the best of luck in finding your match. Oh yea, what's with these women wanting to meet only to find they are a scam!! Its easy to tell, just read their profile! I do not want to meet a women from Ghana! There are plenty of beautiful women in the Great United States of America, no matter if you were born here or not. If you have children, thats great. I love children! If you do not, that's ok to. I have one to share,with that special person. I love my 12 year old daughter, she drives the heart of my soul. Only one person will meet her when I know it's right. We are very close and I do stay involved with her everyday. We go skiing atleast once a year, one week in the summer to a beach. As long as I have two working legs, this will continue. She is also a great athlete, which keeps me going. I am old fashion, hope you can appreciate that. Please let me open the door, I like to hold hands, kiss in public. I do love to cook, pretty good at it I must say, healthy foods are the hardest to prepare, but worth it. I am a professional woodworker who builds furniture, bars, clocks, entertainment centers, and whatever you want. This is not my job, just a love for it. It is so rewarding to take a few pieces of wood and make someone something out of it. I will add a few pictures of my works later. As for sports, I do play alot of basketball in a league. I bowl in a league here in Boardman, we are in first place! I am an average bowler, just started this year and I now have an average of 178, started with 129! I prefer roller blades over skates, although I have both. I hate to run as far as just running down the road or paved trail. I like running through cross country trails or on the court. I like to bike ride often, prefer trails there to. How do I compare? Update 7/1/2012- Had to take a project in Northern Canada for a couple months!! Northwest of Ft. Nelson in British Columbia.. I'll be back in Ohio in September. Internet is very spotty here, so I check out Match once a week or so. I'll add pictures later, hoping to see some cool wildlife.

I've gotten about half way through the new equipment issue and I just want to say GOOD JOB!
I think last year some of us complained it seemed to be nothing more than an advertisement for various manufacturers. But this year, all but one article I've read so far, actually discusses the use of the equipment. The article Arrows, What's the Perfect Weight by Bob Robb has one of the most complete discussions on FOC I've read. Very good job.
I'd still like to see a "report card" on various equipment, much as they do in Field and Stream, but all-in-all a good job D&DH. If the decision is ever made to "test" equipment, I'd be happy to offer my services.[:)]

Gear Review
Good for very light hiking
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought this backpack for hiking/school. It was much too small for even a couple binders, and the bottle holders on the side pushed into the main compartment's space. I wanted to use this for hiking also, but it turns out it doesn't have enough space for more than a day hike. Not worth the price for just a light hiking backpack. Great color though, and the weight stays close to your body!

Ben Carson on Education
I didn't hate Mother, but in the beginning, I sure hated reading those books. After a while, however, I actually began to look forward to them, because they afforded me escape from our everyday poverty. There in the city, books about nature captivated me. My reading ability increased. I began to imagine myself as a great explorer or scientist or doctor. I learned things no one else around me knew. Every single day my knowledge of our world expanded, which excited me to no end.
It was not always like this, however. Our nation's founders placed so much emphasis on education that towns in Massachusetts could actually be fined for not providing adequate public education, as early as 1642. Compulsory education was much slower to reach the southern states, and education of slaves was forbidden. The very fact that powerful men in the South went to great lengths to prevent slaves from gaining an education makes it clear that they fully understood how empowering education can be. This fact alone should encourage anyone who is poor, weak, and/or powerless to direct all their energy toward obtaining an education.
[Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor agrees]. The audacity of some of the secularists who try to get God out of everything with no legitimate legal backing is astonishing, and they must be challenged and their objections defeated if our value system is to survive.
We award more than 500 scholarships annually. In total, we have awarded over 4,800 scholarships across the country. Carson Scholarship winners have attended more than 300 colleges and universities, and have received nearly $2 million in scholarship funds to help finance their education.

GO WEST. | Jeffrey
Jeffrey is an active individual. People talk about all the registered student organizations (RSO) on campus, but Jeffrey actually joins and takes leadership roles in them. To name a few, he's a member of the Western Student Organization, the gospel choir and campus-activities board.
He's attending the Haworth College of Business and majoring in management, and he plans to use the knowledge and skills he gains from the program to become an entrepreneur. Talking to him, you can already see he has the entrepreneurial spirit. He's here to hone his skills so he can come out of college with a head start.
If and when he can find some free time between his classes, RSO commitments and constant flow of ideas, you can find him playing basketball or long-distance running.

About Computer Forensics
Computer forensics is a branch of forensic science (forensics for short). As you likely know, forensics is the scientific analysis of people, places and things to collect evidence during crime investigations, that helps to prove innocence or guilt in court.
Computer forensics, sometimes called digital forensics, has a like purpose. But it specializes in the scientific analysis of computer communications and the data on computer storage devices, such as disks and CD-ROMs. Typical applications of computer forensics are listed below.
- Investigate and uncover evidence of illegal activities conducted via computer, such as credit-card fraud, intellectual-property theft, pedophilia, terrorism and computer system intrusion (hacking). Illegal activities conducted via computer are generally referred to as "computer crimes" or "cyber crimes".
- Investigate and uncover evidence of crimes that weren't directly committed via computer, but for which the accused might have stored evidence on computer data storage devices
- Detect and close computer system security holes through "legal" hacking
Consequently, computer forensics experts are often called "Cyber Cops", "Cyber Investigators" or "Digital Detectives". Many are self-employed consultants.

Everest shows two types of temp readings though. The individual core temps (Tjunction), and the CPU temp (Tcase). For a C2Q, Tjunction temps are always around 10 (+- 3) C higher than Tcase temps. Since Intel's thermal specification uses Tcase temps, and the max Tcase temp for a B3 stepping Q6600 is 62.2C, and 71C for the G0, I would start worrying when the CPU temp reaches 70C. Core temps can go as high as 80C for the G0.

Letter: Pruitt made scapegoat in city logo issue
This is in regard to the article that The Gleaner ran on Sunday about the use of the city's logo.
Mr. Robert Pruitt should have gotten a written OK before getting the logo made. However, the make of Mr. Pruitt's personal vehicle should not have been brought up.
The issue should be about city vehicles being used for personal pleasure. They have the logo on the sides of them. I have seen them being used with the official's families going out to eat.
Can any of the city's administrative personnel say they have ever used these vehicles for anything but city business?
I believe that Mr. Pruitt is trying to be made a scapegoat because he is for the city employees and the citizens of this town. The working class needs more officials to stand up for them and support them to better serve this community.
They need to consider what is better for their employees and the people who elected them.
Maybe the public should voice their opinion on this matter.

He goes back August 24 this year. We moved him back to my mom's school at the end of this past school year because he was having a hard time at the school he was at (and when a teacher loses a kids work and there's only 10 kids in the class there's a problem and that's just one thing). He started doing better once we changed him back. They're changing the way they have certain classes set up, so one of his teachers (at mom's school) is going to make sure that she's with him in all his classes so he's comfortable.
I put some pictures from my vacation up on my Facebook page (I have a few more to add) and I might put them up here too. It was fun. It stormed really bad a couple of days, but we still had a great time.

Not very well made - impossible to use
By barbfromsac
from Sacramento CA
About Me Minimalist
Comments about Automatic Nail File:
Could not use this. Well, it's pretty cheap compared to, say, the Dremel tools so I guess you get what you pay for. Battery compartment very difficult to open. Mechanism for tip is off center so tips don't rotate correctly, making it impossible to use accurately and safely.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Do not buy this automatic nail file
By Gaylee
from Colorado Springs
I was looking forward to the automatic nail file, because I volunteer in a nursing home doing manicures. However, this item is rough and way too fast for smooth filing nails. I could not open the battery case without prying a knife in it, and I could not close it. Shipping back is not worth it because of the high cost of mailing. Do not buy it.

Slow but great on toes
By Bill Nomad
from San Angelo, TX
Need to soften nails before using as it removes slowly. It is not well made but works great on my toenails. At 80 yrs old my toenails are difficult. Right after shower I do toenails and it beats cutting where I alway cut skin on one or two toes and that can get infected.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend
" My Disappointment With Item"
By Jewellypooh
from Riverdale, MD
About Me Beauty Conscious
I am totally disappointed with my purchase. I installed the batteries and proceeded to try to remove the clear top and the whole inside came out. To make things worse, when I pushed it back inside, it ran constantly with the on/off button off. I really had plans to use the item quite a lot.

Picture: Ang Lee with family New York Film Festival 2012 - Opening Night - 'Life of Pi' Presentation - Arrivals New York City, USA - 28.09.12
Bill Westenhoffer, a visual effects supervisor for Life of Pi said that the film was "one of the most challenging projects [he's] worked on," on a film featurette on YouTube. The challenge is unsurprising when you think about the task he and the rest of the visual effects team had on their shoulders.
Life of Pi is about a young Indian boy who ends up being shipwrecked in the middle of an ocean, stranded in a life boat that's also occupied by a zebra, an orangutan and, most problematically, a Tiger. Naturally, you couldn't have a live, blood thirsty tiger around a young boy all day every day filming, so instead they used a mixture of both a real tiger, and a CGI tiger. Director Ang Lee (who also directed Brokeback Mountain) said that "by bringing in the real animal, you set a standard- this is what you have to match." Indeed, according to Westenhoffer, "[they] had over 15 artists just working on the fur."
The trailer (see below) makes the film look both terrifying and beautiful, and likely to be one of the most visually stunning examples of cinema to reach the silver screen in a very long time, perhaps since Lee's martial arts masterpiece Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. We have high hopes for both its commercial and critical success.
Check out the sheer beauty below:

Suit is good, shield not so good.
Monique K.
from Clifton, VA
on 10/10/2013
The suit is fine. However, the sanitary shield was completely stuck to the suit. I had a terrible time removing it and then had to wash the suit 5 times to get the glue off of the suit. Sporti may need to take a look at their adhesive.

I played water polo in this suit last night for the first time at practice. It is feels secure and comfortable and fits true to size. The cut is flattering. I can't wait to see how long it lasts. I may have found a new favorite practice suit!

I am 5.4 weigh 122 and ordered size 34. Adhesive sticker is a pain to take off, other than that a great suit for lap swimming 3/week.

Wonderful fitting swimsuit. The price was great and easy to order on line.
Not a compression suit
from CO
on 12/20/2013
Got this for racing, and during a 200M race, it slid down the front on the start, and rode up the back during the swim. Not ideal. It doesn't provide any compression either. I'm using only as a layer suit for training.
Perfect Swim Suit

I purchase these for my daughter who in on a swim team. They seem to hold up well under constant use. The fit is true to size and the color does not fade.
Not a value in the long run
susie h.
from olympia, WA
on 10/29/2014
Bought this for my daughter who swims daily. It lasted one month, so 20 uses, before the elastic in the straps released and it is useless. More than a dollar a swim isn't an ultimate value at all. It was sized well in the beginning, fit was comfortable and performed well for 19 swims, now it is garbage.
Received defective product
from boston, MA
on 7/30/2014
Ordered the red one for my 15 year old who was very excited about wearing it to practice. The swimsuit had a white line running down one side. The suit looks like it has stretched after just 1 use.I hope the company will replace the suit.
NIce looking suit but too small
from Dillon, MT
on 7/9/2014
NIce style, but too small. According to the size chart it should have fit, but sadly, not so. And it is a "Final Sale" item so I can't return it...so does anyone out there need a size 30 swimsuit?
Sporti Polyester Daze Thin Strap Swimsuit
from Whidbey Island Washington
on 6/5/2014
There is one feature that I don't like about this suit. I have had issues with elasticized thin straps. They alway tear on the right side where the strap connects to the top of the suit. I have another Sporti suit that has a great non-elastic strap and I assumed this new suit would be the same. I am keeping the suit because I do really like everything about the rest of it. It just means when the tear happens, I can sew it and it will last for awhile, but not for the full life of the rest of the suit
Great suit at a low price!
from Portland, OR
on 5/9/2014
This was my first time venturing out to another brand based on a friend's recommendation. I'm glad I did! Not only are they at a lower cost, but the quality of the suit is great.
Feels good

perfect fit
from el paso, tx
on 4/29/2014
Follow sizing chart. I am 5"4" and 165 lbs short legs, long torso, and curvy the 38 fit perfectly. Great for swimming laps.
from Fort Myers FL
on 4/23/2014
The panty liner left a sticky residue, I had to really scrub to get it off.
Not for long torsos
Michaela M.
from Newington, CT
on 4/22/2014
It fit fine width wise but if you have a longer torso or you are in between size definitely go for the bigger size, this applies for all sporti swimsuits!
true to size
from minnesota
on 4/17/2014
I have only wore this once, it feels true to size.
