I'm A Weeble
Friday, November 30, 2012
That's right I wobbled but I didn't fall down!
On Wednesday afternoon my husband and I were going to the pool to work out and I checked my blood sugar 1st, I was low, Since exercise lowers your blood sugar I stopped at a gas station on the way to get a snack. They had nothing healthy and I had to get candy. I grabbed a Chunky bar and split it with my husband. Then we went on to exercise.
That is how I would have described this situation a month ago. After spending time on this site and reading articles I now see it a little different.
On Wednesday I checked my blood sugar before exercising and saw I was low. I know I am diabetic and should be be prepared for this situation but was not. I could have stopped at Walmart and gotten an orange but I chose to go quick and easy instead. I went to a gas station and I got a candy bar and ate it before working out.
I was in control of this situation. I am not a victim of of my diabetes or of circumstances. I ate the candy bar because of choices I made. I could have made sure I had a healthy snack just in case. I could have taken a couple extra minutes to get a healthy snack. It was not the gas station's fault. It was not my disease's fault. I had the power to make the right decision. Therefore I have the power to solve this problem next time. If I don't have a healthy snack on hand I will take the extra minutes to get one.
My choices put this weight on me and only my choices will take it off. I choose what to eat. I choose when to eat it. I choose when and if I exercise. I have the choice. I have the power. I have the responsibility. I'll decide!!
Like any good Weeble I wobbled but I won't fall down!
"If you choose not to decide; you still have made a choice" Rush

Hi there Sparky
I am just hanging out watching my football games and cruising through some spark stuff between plays. I stumbled accross this blog and just wanted to tell you that I think you have a super great attitude. Personal responsibility can be so hard to own but you seem to have a good handle on it.
You keep hanging in there and remember to come back and read this if things get to wobbley!

Arsenal are to open football training schools across India this summer to develop young footballers in India and give thousands of children across the country somewhere to learn and play safely away from the dangerous streets.

Arsenal legend signs up for new Indian Soccer League
It has just been announced that six teams from India will be starting a new football League, primarily in the West Bengal area, and they are going to have a cricket-style auction of the some top-class veterans including the ex-Arsenal star Robert Pires.
India's greatest Arsenal fan flown over for the Liverpool match tonight
Barclays Bank, who sponsor the English Premier League, have been holding a competition in India to find the country's biggest football fan, in the "Biggest Fan of India" contest. They started their search over six months ago and thousands upon thousands of football fanatics from all over the vast continent applied for the award, sending in scrapbooks, videos, photos and long letters in support of their claims.
The day India woke up to Arsenal!
Yesterday i published a brilliant story that Tony Attwood from Untold Arsenal had written especially for the 11Gunners website. It is great that Arsenal blogs from all over the world can get together to help each other out, and especially to help promote football and Arsenal in the massive continent of India.
Arsenal help develop young footballers in India, and now they have their first Gooner website!
I have a football website, as you can see, and i get to look at many similar websites every single day, you could not imagine exactly how many there are in the world. I have been doing this for a few months now and i am still finding new ones every day.

Welcome to the Peace Corps/Liberia
Click here to learn more about how Peace Corps is responding to the Ebola virus.
Peace Corps in Liberia
The Peace Corps was first invited to Liberia in 1962, and more than 3,800 Volunteers served from 1962 until 1990. Peace Corps returned to Liberia in 2009, and currently supports the development sector of education. The more than 80 Peace Corps Volunteers who served in Liberia each year live and work as participating and contributing members of communities in 14 of the 15 counties of the country, working collaboratively with educators. To date 4,035 Peace Corps Volunteers have served in Liberia.
During those years, Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) served in every facet of Liberia's development efforts with an emphasis on education, agriculture, rural development, and health education. Although the program closed in 1990 due to civil war, the Peace Corps is still fondly regarded and well loved in Liberia; most people over the age of 30 had a Peace Corps teacher at some point during their education. The Peace Corps re-entered Liberia with a team of 12 Peace Corps Response Volunteers (PCRVs) in October 2008. Peace Corps Response Volunteers are returned Peace Corps Volunteers who undertake short-term assignments around the world.
In 2010, Peace Corps/Liberia began transitioning to a full Peace Corps program, with the first group of Peace Corps Volunteers arriving in June 2010. These Volunteers began the secondary education project, working as English, science, and math teachers. There are currently 70 Volunteers in Liberia working as science and math teachers at the junior and senior high school level. Peace Corps Response Volunteers work in teacher training institutes around the country. Peace Corps/Liberia will continue to utilize both Volunteers and PCRVs as part of a complementary and solid response to the development needs of the country.
Peace Corps Globally
The Peace Corps traces its inception to 1960, when then Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students at the University of Michigan to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries. In 1961, President Kennedy established the Peace Corps to promote world peace and friendship through three simple goals of:
1. Helping the people of interested countries in meeting their needs for training men and women.
2. Helping promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served.
3. Helping promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans.
Peace Corps Volunteers respond to the challenges of the changing times with creativity, determination, and compassion, and in the five decades since it was founded, over 215,000 Volunteers have served in 139 host countries. Currently, 7,200 Peace Corps Volunteers serve in 75 countries in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe, and the Middle East. Volunteers live, learn, and work with a community overseas for 27 months, providing technical assistance in six global program areas: education, health, environment, community economic development, youth in development, and agriculture.
Through the Peace Corps, America shares with the world its most precious resource – its people – and Volunteers support the development aspirations of those who strive for a better future for themselves, their children, and their communities. The work of Volunteers in villages, towns, and cities around the globe represents a legacy of service for the promotion of goodwill and friendship abroad.
"The two years you spend here will be unforgettable and the experience will show you why Peace Corps will become the toughest job you'll ever love. As a volunteer, you will have a unique opportunity to work at a grassroots level to improve the lives of Liberians by listening to their needs and concerns, hopes and dreams."
Toni Schneider (Former Peace Corps Response Volunteer in Liberia)

I was delighted to once again be part of a high-level gathering of stakeholders from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the photovoltaic (PV) industry while attending the 5th Executive Conference of the Photovoltaic Power Sector (PVPS) for the IEA in Montreux, Switzerland, which is held every four years since 1990.
At the current Photovoltaic (PV) Symposium in Bad Staffelstein the main focus is on the worldwide information exchange about the state of the technology - both from the national and international market development perspectives.
European leaders have acknowledged that the European Union (EU) possesses the resources it needs to tackle climate change. However, instead of letting the market define its needs, the EU has pledged to develop a society that is truly sustainable, and provide a model that the rest of the world can follow.
The feed-in tariff (FiT) and net metering are both methods by which a utility company compensates a homeowner or other producer for the energy fed back into the grid. Simply put, net metering requires one meter, FiT requires two.
In net metering the meter simply "runs backwards" when a homeowner's solar panels are producing more electricity than the property is using, sending the excess energy back through transmission lines to other energy consumers.

Salma Hayek is in Berlin this week promoting her new movie at the city's annual film festival, Berlinale.
The Spanish-language film "La Chispa De La Vida," or "As Luck Would Have It," follows an unemployed advertising executive (Jose Mota) as he looks for work, ultimately becoming the focal point of media attention when he falls into a precarious situation. Hayek plays the encouraging wife who is horrified when she discovers the media circus that surrounds her husband.
Hayek walked the red carpet at the festival alongside her costars — one of which is much taller than the 5-foot-2-inch actress. Caroline Herrera Bang towered over Hayek, effectively dwarfing her, as The Daily Mail reports. (See the photo in the slideshow below).
But the Mexican-born actress certainly makes up for her short stature with her performance in the film, receiving much praise for her role. Variety called her "the real standout" for her depiction of the character's internal conflict, while The Hollywood Reporter dubbed her the "saving grace" of the film.
Directed by Alex de la Iglesia, the film premiered in Spain in January. Hopefully, "La Chispa" will make its way across the globe so Hollywood can evaluate Hayek's performance.

Ernie Vossler, a real estate visionary who turned craggy, undeveloped plots of desert land in the Coachella Valley into some of the most sought-after places to vacation, retire and golf died Saturday, Feb. 16, in his La Quinta home.
He was 84.
Ernie Vossler
Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, Vossler was a professional golfer who began to play on the PGA Tour in 1955. In 1967, he was named PGA Professional of the Year for his abilities as a golf club operators and a teaching abilities.
While he was making waves as a golf celebrity -- winning five times as a PGA tour member between 1955 and 1962, Vossler developed long-term relationships with some of the top names in golf: Joe Walser, Jr., Johnny Pott, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Pete Dye, to name a few.
In 1971, Vossler and Joe Walser Jr. founded Unique Golf Concepts Inc. to pursue a dream to build golf communities. Working with Pott, they created Marsh Island Golf Club in Ocean Springs, Miss., the Cardinal Club in Greensboro, N.C., and Oak Tree Golf Club in Edmond, Okla.
Walser died in May 2012.
After developing golf courses in Texas and Oklahoma, Vossler became a senior vice president of Landmark Land Co., a venture that oversaw land acquisitions, master planned golf community development and resort operations.
The "Oak Tree" logo was born ~ and for years was the iconic brand for the "Landmark experience" tourists and golfers could have at La Quinta Resort & Tennis Club and at other notable residential golf communities Vossler and associates developed -- from Mission Hills County Club in Rancho Mirage to PGA West in La Quinta.
The logo was sold as jewelry, stamped on golf wear and branded as the Landmark symbol for unrivaled golf or tennis club experiences.
Other developments in the Vossler portfolio include Carmel Valley Ranch Resort, Moreno Valley Ranch, Palm Beach Polo and Country Club and Kiawah Island Inn and Golf Resort.
These golf courses are renowned for hosting prestigious tournaments such as the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, the Nabisco Dinah Shore, PGA Championship, Ryder Cup, The Skins Game, Senior Skins Game, U.S. Amateur and the World Cup of Golf.
Vosslers' children have worked in the golf or tourism industry, among them: Judy Vossler, now senior vice president of Greater Palm Springs Convention and Visitors Bureau; and Andy Vossler, chief executive of Landmark Golf in Indian Wells.
Linda Williams, president of the La Quinta Historical Society, in an article published by The Desert Sun on Jan. 24, credited Ernie Vossler for being instrumental in getting off the ground when their family came to the Coachella Valley in the '70s.
It was the beginning of how La Quinta became identified as a golf destination, she said, saying: "Judy and Andy have carried on the tradition or the family business if you want to look at it that way. They remain very important to La Quinta history. They worked alongside their father."
Aftab Dada, general manager of Hilton Palm Springs and an executive board member of Greater Palm Springs CVB, called Ernie Vossler a pioneer of the Coachella Valley.
"The Coachella Valley is considered the mecca golf capital of the world,'' Dada said. "Ernie and his family really put the Coachella Valley on the world map, as far as golf. It's what attracted all the wealth, the investors, the country clubs -- the rest is all history."
Celebrities have also had a long association with Ernie Vossler, with the Landmark Golf website posting such advisory board notables as Robert Wagner, chairman, who said this of the golf development legend:
Robert Wagner
"I first met Ernie Vossler on a golf course early in my acting career as he was starting out on the PGA Tour. We struck up a life-long friendship. I've had the privilege of playing golf on many of the finest courses around the world. It gives me great pleasure to tell my friend, Ernie that some of the finest golf courses I've ever played are the results of his visions and Landmark's efforts. I'm always proud to wear the Landmark 'Oak Tree' logo…I just wish Mr. E would give me more strokes when we play."
- Robert Wagner
Others noted on the Landmark advisory board were Johnny Bench, Rick Dees, Bill Devane, John Elway, Larry Gatlin, Ed Marinaro, Gil Morgan, Don Ohlmeyer and Mike Shanahan.

When you turn to the right or the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it." Isaiah 30:21 (NIV)
There are a lot of forks in the road of life. Trouble is, they usually don't come with street signs. If they were marked, "Success Street" or "Failure Ave" you'd know which way to turn. But with no sign, you're left standing there scratching your head. "Do I go left or right?"
Yogi Berra of the New York Yankees had no patience with people who could not make decisions. He once said, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." Unfortunately it's not that easy.
Sometimes there is a sign. One path is marked Urgent, the other Important. Too often, we take the urgent.
It's urgent that I attend this meeting so I neglect the important – my daily devotions. It's urgent that I close this sale so I shortchange the important – my time with my wife and kids. A client urgently needs my attention so my son has no dad watching his soccer game.
We choose the urgent because it shouts so much louder, and we tend to follow the loudest voice. But wisdom doesn't always shout from a loudspeaker. Sometimes it speaks in a whisper. Look how God spoke to Elijah:
And as Elijah stood there, the Lord passed by, and a mighty windstorm hit the mountains; it was such a terrible blast that the rocks were torn loose, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind, there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake, there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire, there was the sound of a gentle whisper. 1 Kings 19:11,12 (LB)
Next time you're at a fork in the road, quiet yourself and listen. You will hear that still, small voice saying, "This is the way; walk in it."

Lindsay Lohan Will Terrorize 2 Broke Girls
By Mack Rawden 2 years ago comments
Lindsay Lohan might not be back to toplining features yet, but shes certainly taking baby steps in the right direction. On the same week the trailer broke for her documentary series on OWN, the starlet booked a guest starring role on the always popular 2 Broke Girls.
Lohan took to her official Twitter account to hype the news. You can check out the tweet in question below
According to E! Online, the specifics of the episode will see Lohan play a bride named Claire who enlists Max and Caroline to take care of her wedding cake. Sounds like a win, right? Wrong. Apparently, Lohan will turn into a bridezilla who constantly asks for changes and basically turns the girls work lives into a living hell.
The episode in question will air on April 14th, which just so happens to be the first evening the show will take over for How I Met Your Mother in the Monday timeslot it has held for so many years in a row. Theres no reason to think 2 Broke Girls wont continue that same success, but as with any timeslot, well just have to wait and see.
At one point in time, Lohan was rapidly turning into one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. Mean Girls was a smash hit and the future looked really, really bright. Unfortunately, years of below-average movies and brushes with the law sourced her reputation and eventually booted her from the A-list. The trailer for her OWN reality show makes it very clear she realizes this is her last opportunity to get back in the publics good graces. A guest starring spot on a popular television show like this should help.
Lohan might not be one of the most talented actresses in Hollywood, but shes a hell of a lot better than people give her credit for. She has a certain magnetism when shes on screen. Shes able to own a scene and set a tone, and thats why, despite all of her issues, we should still be rooting for her to crush this guesting spot out of the park.
For a reminder of the good old days, you can watch a clip from Mean Girls below

I've been picking for over fourty years now with Ernie Ball as my first teacher and consequently have owned and play a few axes. This little guiar is the best thing for the money ever - hands-down. The action is smooth and the pickups responsive too. The hardware is great, looks good and the sound is about as good as my American Tele was too. An excellent starter guitar for anyone interested in electric country and western for sure. Still don't know how they can sell it so cheap, but a real steal of a deal!
Got it for Father's Day. I've spent a few hours playing it, and it seems to be fairly well constructed. I got the walnut finish (UGLY), Way too dark for my tastes.After some truss rod adjustments, and sanding down the ends of the frets a bit, The neck is nice and fast. The tuning pegs are absolutely horrible, but at this price, you can expect a shortage in hardware:)Tonally, it's not my favorite... The alder body does produce a bright twangy feel, but the electronics are really lacking.I do feel that this guitar is an extreme value.Great for beginners, or those who would like a good foundation for a "custom" Tele.I plan on making this a project. I'll be installing some Sperzels, New Pups, New Bridge/Saddles, the works.
I have fallen in love with this thing. I originally bought 'cuz it was cheap, I wanted to add a Tele to my collection and the pickup configuration intrigued me. I have to say the set up out of the box was pedestrian at best. After some patient tweaking with the truss rod and the bridge adjusters, it plays as good as any Fender I've ever played. Another point to raise here is the tendancy that all the Squiers I've played seem to have is a distinct "unfinished" feel to the frets. Plan on some careful finish filing to take the edges off as they are rought to dsy the least. I purchased it with the satin walnut finish which gives it a "classic", somewhat aged, Tele look. (In fact, I've thought it's too clean and a few well place nicks and dents and you'd think it was one out of the 60's) As for the pick up layout, it has a tone that lands between an SG and a Tele with the humbucker alone with decent drive. With the switch in the middle position it has a unique Fender single coil tonality with a bit of humbucker fullness. In the neck position, it becomes pure Fender. Terrific for arppegio chording and rythm playing and not bad for a subdued, "quiet" emotion lead playing. If there is a weakness in the electronics it would be in the substantial gain drop off when you employ the middle or neck switch positions. If you're like me and use a fair amount of signal processing (an ample pedal board) this can be used to your advantage in displaying "mood swings" in your playing. Overall, I'd have to say that you'd be hard pressed to beat it for the bucks. I jam with it, record with it, and gig with it and chuckle a bit when I think how bloody cheap it was to own.
Solid agathis body of three to six pieces, walnut stain but can appear as rosewood, everything is present to make a good basic player, but with the replacement of the tuners, nut and saddles, you can have a mighty fine instrument indeed. Has asian size body mount strat pickup in the neck, conventional untapped humbucker in the above bridge rout. This rout is 3/8ths inch North of where a Tele pup rout would usually be, so this is not an easy pat conversion to a replica of an Am Se of MIM Fender Telecaster, could make a perfect G & L ASAT copy, tho. Body is shaped right, and unlike most Squier Tele bodies, its edges are chamfered like a Fender and don't cut into your chest or arm. Pickups are not bad, nor are the contents of the slightly oversized control panel. Every thing works fine, and can be upgraded easily for a really sound instrument at a fraction of the cost of an American Series Tele or a Classic or Deluxe MIM Tele. I've bought six at this May 07 price, they're all keepers easy.
Great value for the money. I bought my special used. I like tele's but wasn't really looking for one till i saw this one- man these look like workhorses. I wasm't sure about the pickup arrangement (not classic tele setup) until i heard that alnico neck pickup- I love this guitar. Its now my number 1. GREAT VALUE.(ps if you are looking for that drop "d" thick tele sound like tom morello- this is a pretty cheap way)
Have had this instrument for about a month and so far so good. The action was set a little too high for my taste,easy to ajust. Input jack was loose but that also was easy to repair. The finish on mine was flawless(Black.) Comes with cheapass strings (change them.) Bridge pickup is pretty decent sounding while the neck pup is a little weak but has that familiar tele twang. This guitar would make a good candidate for hot rodding.Or with a little tweaking here and there you have a decent guitar right outa the box for the price.
I bought the walnut satin tele a while back to take as a beater to college. The humbucker lacks that classic tele twang but holds distortion better. I would make sure you test play the guitar more than I did before purchasing as there are differences in the action and string alignment. Near the nut the action is nice and low which makes it easy to play but up at the top there is still fret buzz even after tweaking the truss rod. I would probably go for the twin humbucker version next time because the neck pickup comes off as kind of weak. Overall the guitar looks great and does most all I want it to.
I picked one up to be a parts donor for a guitar project I was building... set it up the way I like it, played it, and it moved to the top of my guitar harem. Unbelievable value for the money... I choose it now over a more expensive guitar for recording... BUY IT!
Great guitar at a great price. Tele quality, authentic "Fender" sound. I love it.
I just bought the Squier Tele Special. I have wanted a Tele for a long time, but was never crazy about the pickup placement on most models. A few months ago I played the Squire special and fell in love. I could get bluesy, go metal, get warm surf sounds, twang out some country or just plain strum rythm and it kept up with me. My number one guitar went number two and after much begging and pleading, I talked my wife into letting me buy the Tele Special. I don't regret the perchase at all. The action is a little high, but that's easy to take care of. My new number one axe is now the Tele. If you're just starting out or are looking for a back-up axe...This is the one for you.

i'm going to be adding some aerobars to my road bike for some TTs this
spring, and this will be my first time using aero bars. looking at the different
choices out there in clip-on bars, i see that there are several different
lengths ranging from ~150mm out to ~300mm. is there a good rule of
thumb regarding the size/length needed?? it would seem to me that the length
would be dictated by my position on the bike and the length of my forearms.
my forearms measure ~350mm from the tip of my elbow (when bent at 90 deg)
to the middle of my palm.
thanks in advance for any help.

Charlotte Olympia has always been inspired by corsetry and the old-world glamour of Hollywood.

Other signature styles that epitomise Olympia's unique fashion sensibility, like the 'Kitty' flats and 'Dolly' platforms, have quickly become modern icons, well worth investing in.

Hi All,
Had our 12 week NT scan today- everything went well, great results! Lowered our risk of Downs and my corpus luteum cyst went down from a 5 cm to a 2 cm- woohoo! Plus we saw the baby and he/she was moving so much! We asked the doc to guess at gender and at first he said, even though it was very hard to tell (baby kept moving) if he had to choose, he'd say girl. But then the baby moved again, this time tilted feet up and the "angle of the dangle" looked a little more tilted and he said, "See? Could be a boy." So his final answer was it's still 50/50.
You guys are awesome- can you tweak this for me and maybe tell me what you think? I'll try to attach 2 pics:

If a business owner tracks employees' social media activity, it requires striking a balance between company reputation monitoring and employee privacy.
In this Collection overview article, this entrepreneur and director argues boards of directors are critical success factors in fast-growing companies. This expert debunks a set of common misconceptions many entrepreneurs have about boards and outlines why an entrepreneur should build one.
When considering the optimal number of founders for any new entrepreneurial adventure, the calculus extends well beyond simple formulas seemingly supported by observations of startup cohorts within specific industries. Famous technology twosomes that come to mind include David Packard and William Hewlett of Hewlett-Packard, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak of Apple, Paul Allen and Bill Gates of Microsoft, Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google. In these examples, it is widely observed that these buddy teams complemented each other well in the early formative years of their companies.
Chasing an entrepreneurial dream can be an all-consuming effort. Particularly in those crucial early days of a startup, founders seem to eat, sleep and breathe their businesses. This naturally occurring tunnel vision has a purpose, of course, allowing entrepreneurs to give their business babies the time and attention they need to mature. But this heads-down mode is not without its drawbacks, one of which is neglecting to stay up on current events--particularly the happenings that can impact the entrepreneurs who are inadvertently paying no attention to them.
In today's extremely tight labor market, small-company employers must approach hiring just as they approach selling. To lure able and enthusiastic candidates, the author writes, a CEO should consider such steps as contacting reluctant candidates personally, offering equity compensation to augment salaries, and sending welcoming gifts like fruit baskets. Of particular note is a discussion of factors the author says "count" in the sales-whoops!-the hiring process.
Specialized or technical advice or skills not closely related to your company's core objectives can often be handled effectively by outside contractors. Typically less expensive that hiring full-time staff, potential outsource services should be carefully considered with these topics in mind: expertise, experience, proposals, and attitude.
Lately, there's been a lot of talk about these people we call millennials. Namely, the current generation, Generation Y, those "entitled, narcissists who still live with their parents", according to Keith Wagstaff. From complimentary to derisive, countless writers have deemed it their duty to predict exactly what this generation will add or (as most reports warn) detract from our current society. But the truth is, nothing has been said about the "Me, me, me generation" that hasn't been said about every generation before them.

Calibrated Probabilistic Mesoscale Weather Field Forecasting: The Geostatistical Output Perturbation Method; Comment
Tebaldi, Claudia, Nychka, Doug, Journal of the American Statistical Association
Forecasting the weather presents a unique context for statistics, blending physical modeling with complicated observational data to produce information that is used at many different levels of sophistication. We are pleased that Gel, Raftery, and Gneiting (GRG) have brought this area to the attention of a statistical audience. In this discussion we give the reader a broader view of the use of ensemble techniques in numerical weather prediction (NWP). We have some comments about the use of ensembles idea presented by GRG and also present some of our recent analysis of the value of ensemble forecasts.
Weather forecasts have many users and, of course, the value and form of a forecast may depend on its intended purpose. Perhaps the most common use of a forecast is the estimate, say maximum surface temperature for a point location and a companion measure of uncertainty (e.g., Nychka's daughter asks him each morning what the temperature will be in Boulder so she can choose her outfit for school; she then asks him if he is "sure" about the forecast). In contrast, the geostatistical output perturbation (GOP) method goes beyond point forecasts using representations of the spatial covariance of the forecast accuracy to yield an ensemble of meteorological fields. The variability about the mean surface quantifies the uncertainty. Although this gives a significantly richer inference concerning the forecast, we also contend that it targets a sophisticated consumer.
To illustrate the distinction between point forecasts versus ensembles of fields, consider the following example. The Colorado Department of Transportation must make a decision whether to salt a highway to prevent icing. This decision is based on whether at any point along the highway the temperatures will dip below freezing. Thus, in statistical language the inference is whether the minimum of the field over a particular domain (the highway) has a high probability of being below freezing. To our mind, GRG give an elegant solution to this problem. For each ensemble field, the minimum temperature along the route of the highway must be found. The result is an empirical distribution of minimum temperatures that attempts to incorporate the spatial dependence of errors in the field and so may be more accurate in assessing the potential for icing. We are not sure how a correct inference would be drawn from just point forecasts of temperature with accompanying standard errors, so GRG's approach seems particularly useful in this context.
It is not clear that the man on the street or the forecaster on the evening news can interpret ensembles of fields and draw straightforward conclusions on the confidence he or she has in the forecast. In this respect, we question the need for a cultural change in forecaster attitude toward realizations of the GOP method. Based on the preceding example, it may be that specific applications of the forecast will benefit from ensemble fields, but in many cases a pointwise assessment of a best guess plus or minus a range of uncertainty, a simple probability density function, or a number between 0 and 1 that characterizes the degree of confidence in the forecast will do. Accordingly, in the last part of this discussion we focus more on the problem of obtaining more accurate inferences for point forecasts.
1.1 Ensemble Forecasting
A statistician can think of an ensemble as a discrete sample whose empirical distribution approximates a continuous distribution of interest. An idealized ensemble is a random sample from the posterior distribution for the state of the atmosphere given all past data and incorporating all known physical models of the flow.
Let [x.sub.t] denote the vector of meteorological variables on a spatial grid that describe the state of the atmosphere at time t. The entire physical and geographic knowledge of the atmosphere's dynamical behavior can be subsumed by a function g, the NWP model, such that

Rainfall was fairly spotty, and on the light side. lows were mainly in the 50s and 60s. More mild temperatures are on tap today, with a few scattered showers and thunderstorms across the region. Not all areas will receive rain today, and there could even be some peeks at the sun. Highs will be back into the mid 70s, to mid 80s. Unsettled weather will continue off and on all week. There will be periodic chances of showers and thunderstorms, but the overall risk of severe weather looks relatively low for the most part. $$ Shea

I have a question about Java style. I've been programming Java for years, but primarily for my own purposes, where I didn't have to worry much about style, but I've just not got a job where I have to use it professionally. I'm asking because I'm about to have people really go over my code for the first time and I want to look like I know what I'm doing. Heh.
I'm developing a library that other people will make use of at my work. The way that other code will use my library is essentially to instantiate the main class and maybe call a method or two in that. They won't have to make use of any of my data structures, or any of the classes I use in the background to get things done. I will probably be the primary person who maintains this library, but other people are going to probably look at the code every once in a while.
So when I wrote this library, I just used the default no modifier access level for most of my fields, and even went so far as to have other classes occasionally read and possibly write from/to those fields directly. Since this is within my package this seemed like an OK way to do things, given that those fields aren't going to be visible from outside of the package, and it seemed to be unnecessary to make things private and provide getters and setters. No one but me is going to be writing code inside my package, this is closed source, etc.
My question is: is this going to look like bad style to other Java programmers? Should I provide getters and setters even when I know exactly what will be getting and setting my fields and I'm not worried about someone else writing something that will break my code?

The fourth UEFA Women's Champions League final will be played on Thursday 23 May 2013 at Stamford Bridge, London, the home of Chelsea FC. Holders Olympique Lyonnais will face debutants VfL Wolfsburg.
Held two days before the men's final at Wembley, the showpiece is returning to the city where Fulham FC's Craven Cottage staged the 2011 decider in which Olympique Lyonnais beat 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam 2-0. The year before the match had been at Getafe CF's Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, and in 2012 Munich's Olympiastadion was the venue.
©UEFA.com 1998-2016. All rights reserved.
The UEFA Women's Champions League comprises a qualifying group stage, four rounds of two-legged knockout ties and a one-off final.
Qualifying round
The lower-ranked champion clubs compete in four-team, one-venue mini-tournaments hosted by one of the participants.
Knockout phase
The qualifying round winners join the teams given a bye past that stage in the round of 32. From here on the competition consists of two-legged knockout ties, continuing with the round of 16, which is drawn along with the last 32. The draw for the remainder of the competition is then made, with quarter-finals and semi-finals played over two legs. If scores are level after 90 or 120 minutes of the second leg, the team with the most away goals wins, otherwise a penalty shoot-out is held.
The final is on 26 May at Stadio Città del Tricolore in Reggio Emilia, two dats before the men's final in Milan.
Further details, including the criteria for separating teams that finish level on points in a group, can be found in the official competition regulations.

In addition to being really good looking DerekZoolander and his friend Hansel are also really stupid, and to celebrate Zoolander 2, we compiled a list of characters we love even though they're dumb as rocks.
The 40-Year-Old Virgin has already become one of those modern comedy classics. What most of us dont know, though, is that it almost didnt happen. Universal was intent on shutting production down. And, they had a legitimate, but totally hilarious reason for doing so, according to Steve Carell.
The Big Short has been picking up crucial year-end awards from several major critics groups. Find out why when it opens in limited release on Dec. 11, then expands on Dec. 23.
The Real Reason Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, Christian Bale And Brad Pitt Look So Ugly In The Big Short
Directed by Adam McKay, The Big Short stars Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale, Marisa Tomei, Finn Wittrock, Melissa Leo, Karen Gillan, Margot Robbie (in a brilliant cameo), Jeremy Strong, Rafe Spall, Max Greenfield and Brad Pitt. It will open in select theaters on December 11, before going wider on December 23.
The Minions Honest Trailer hates on the little evil cretins so that you don't have to.
The first trailer for The Big Short has dropped online, and if the premise alone isnt enough to pique your interested, then how about the star-studded cast that features Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt, and Steve Carell?
Well, that didn't take long. We just got news that Bruce Willis was fired from Woody Allen's latest film, but don't worry, they've already found a big name replacement and production will go off as planned.
The upcoming biographical drama, Freeheld released its first trailer. The film, starring Julianne Moore and Ellen Page as a same-sex couple embroiled in a legal battle over the allocation of the formers pension benefits, is especially timely with its topical focus on gay marriage.
Back in 1973, the world watched on as champion tennis stars Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs went head-to-head in a match labeled The Battle of the Sexes, and the battle wound up becoming one of the most notable sports events of the 20th century.
Since we started writing this feature series on movie endings, weve covered a wide variety. Weve gone over confusing endings, twisty endings, debatable endings, and even a uniquely-structured ending. This time around, however, we have something very different: the out-of-left-field ending.
Oh, Kevin James. What are we gonna do with you? Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2. Really? To inspire better choices for you in the future, here are 10 comedians whove dabbled in drama and have become better actors for it.
At last night's Academy Awards ceremony, nominee Steve Carell wore a set of cufflinks on his wrist in support of a gender equality movement called He For She. You probably didn't notice it during the broadcast last night, but Emma Watson evidently wants the world to recognize his support for the campaign.
On Sunday, the Academy Awards will attempt to determine which actors and actress gave the best performances this year. To tide us over here is a list of the 10 most likeable Oscar nominees, according to Americans.
With Steve Carell's latest career choices, he is slowly creeping up the ladder as Hollywood's "Most Likable Actor" - not only as one of our favorite comedic actors, but now as one of our most interesting dramatic actors.
It's always exciting when large-scale ensemble dramas are announced. These projects open up special doors that allow some of the best actors in the industry to work with and bounce off other like none other, and it's fun to watch and see just how many A-listers can be packaged into one feature.
SPOILER ALERT: The following article contains light spoilers for Bennett Miller's Foxcatcher. If you haven't seen the film and don't wish to be spoiled, please click over to another one of our wonderful articles.
Foxcatcher is in theaters now, and is earning raves for Millers direction, as well as for the acting performances of the three male leads Tatum, Steve Carell and Mark Ruffalo. Could this controversy start to damage the films reputation? Or is it all a massive misunderstanding?
I could dig, analyze and appreciate Foxcatcher for years. All of that being said, Foxcatcher is remarkable. It is a stirring thesis about how wealthy power brokers manipulate situations, and how those without influence are seduced.
Just because you don't hear about a certain in-development movie for a number of years doesn't actually mean that the project will never end up on the silver screen. Some are just destined to spend a bit of time in what has been dubbed "Development Hell." Take, for example, the Looney Tunes Acme factory film. We first wrote about the feature all the way back in October 2010, but haven't heard a peep about it since. That is, until now.
There is a tremendous amount of buzz surrounding Steve Carells upcoming performance in Foxcatcher. In fact, the actor is expected to be a major force this awards season. He is, by all accounts, great in the film.

The Australian education scene has been subject to almost continuous change over the last decade, and distance education has been affected as much as any sector. King documents the sequence of political and organisational events which has led to the present situation where distance education and open learning provision are widely available from a high proportion of higher education institutions, and Moran and Myringer also discuss some of the current trends and issues within distance teaching institutions. The term 'external studies' has traditionally been widely used in Australia and neighbouring countries, but one of the symptoms of change has been in the emergence and use of additional terms such as 'open learning', 'flexible learning' and 'flexible delivery', which reflect not only a general conceptual move towards more student-centred provision, but also a demand for institutions to produce course materials very quickly utilising the whole available range of technologies.
The Open and Distance Learning Association of Australia (ODLAA) was renamed in 1993 from the Australian and South Pacific External Studies Association (ASPESA). The change in title, as well as acknowledging the need to recognise new terminology, incorporates a narrower geographical focus. ODLAA, whose Web site is at http://usq.edu.au/dec/decjourn/odlaa.htm/, continues to publish the journal Distance Education, whose focus is international, and a volume of papers to accompany its biennial conference.
The former South Pacific members of ASPESA have re-formed to establish their own association, the Pacific Islands Regional Association for Distance Education (PIRADE). For many years, the island nations of the South Pacific were served almost solely by the University of the South Pacific, which is a dual-mode institution. Matthewson and Va'a's chapter describes the changing situation in which a number of other institutions and organisations are beginning to provide their own distance-taught programmes and courses.
New Zealand is also well served by distance education providers. A decade ago, the pattern of provision was relatively clearcut. Although there were

The Downhill Lie: A Hacker's Return to a Ruinous Sport
by Carl Hiaasen
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A bit of a memoir and very funny.
Biting, Witty, Sarcastic. Thoroughly good and a wonderful read.
This was an amusing look at a newly-returned-to-the-sport, middle-aged golfer in Florida. Since I don't golf it was less informative than it might be to others, but still very entertaining. I got a little education about golf and the Florida links, and chuckled along the way.
I love Hiaasen's sense of humor. He makes even a potentially dry subject like golf laugh-out-loud hilarious. Written partly as a journal as his own golf come-back and partly as an expose on amateur golf in general, I really enjoyed this book and devoured it in less than a day.
At times hilarious, it's mostly an excellent reminder that the game of golf is never as easy as the pros make it look.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0307266532, Hardcover)Ever wonder how to retrieve a sunken golf cart from a snake-infested lake? Or which club in your bag is best suited for combat against a horde of rats? If these and other sporting questions are gnawing at you, The Downhill Lie, Carl Hiaasen's hilarious confessional about returning to the fairways after a thirty-two-year absence, is definitely the book for you.
Originally drawn to the game by his father, Carl wisely quit golfing in 1973, when "Richard Nixon was hunkered down like a meth-crazed badger in the White House, Hank Aaron was one dinger shy of Babe Ruth's all-time home run record, and The Who had just released Quadrophenia." But some ambitions refuse to die, and as the years—and memories of shanked 7-irons—faded, it dawned on Carl that there might be one thing in life he could do better in middle age than he could as a youth. So gradually he ventured back to the dreaded driving range, this time as the father of a five-year-old son—and also as a grandfather.
"What possesses a man to return in midlife to a game at which he'd never excelled in his prime, and which in fact had dealt him mostly failure, angst and exasperation? Here's why I did it: I'm one sick bastard."
And thus we have Carl's foray into a world of baffling titanium technology, high-priced golf gurus, bizarre infomercial gimmicks and the mind-bending phenomenon of Tiger Woods; a maddening universe of hooks and slices where Carl ultimately—and foolishly—agrees to compete in a country-club tournament against players who can actually hit the ball. "That's the secret of the sport's infernal seduction," he writes. "It surrenders just enough good shots to let you talk yourself out of quitting."
Hiaasen's chronicle of his shaky return to this bedeviling pastime and the ensuing demolition of his self-esteem—culminating with the savage 45-hole tournament—will have you rolling with laughter. Yet the bittersweet memories of playing with his own father and the glow he feels when watching his own young son belt the ball down the fairway will also touch your heart. Forget Tiger, Phil and Ernie. If you want to understand the true lure of golf, turn to Carl Hiaasen, who has written an extraordinary book for the ordinary hacker.

Recounts the author's return to golf after quitting the game in college, describing how he purchased a set of clubs, practiced for eighteen long months, and agreed to compete in a tournament against much more talented players.

A New Whiteland woman won the highest honor the governor can give for her service to the community.
Gov. Mike Pence awarded Maribeth Alspach with the Sagamore of the Wabash award for her work as a volunteer and in local government.
Alspach has worked as the clerk-treasurer of New Whiteland for 22 years and was town manager for 10 years.
She also led a committee of volunteers that raised $200,000 for Proctor Memorial Park, which is a park created as a tribute to veterans, police, firefighters and other heroes.
The Sagamore of the Wabash is an honorary award given to Indiana residents each year. State senators and representatives can recommend two people each year for the award.
The governor decides how many awards to give out each year.
State Rep. Woody Burton, R-Whiteland, nominated Alspach for the award. State Sen. Greg Walker, R-Columbus, sponsored the award nomination in the Senate, and said he was honored to recognize Alspach for her inspiring work as clerk-treasurer and as a volunteer.
Alspach has spent her life helping others, Burton said.
"There's a lot of good people that do things to help people and nothing is said about it," Burton said. "I am very proud to be able to recognize someone for that."
In addition to her work with the park, Alspach also volunteers for Habitat for Humanity, participates in the Relay for Life and is on the board of directors for the Clark-Pleasant Education Foundation. This year, she will be part an all-female build for Habitat for Humanity representing Leadership Johnson County.
The statewide award came as a surprise to Alspach, who didn't know she was nominated.
She was recognized by state lawmakers at the Statehouse earlier this year.
"I am thrilled and very honored to have received these awards," Alspach said. "I will humbly accept them in honor and in memory of men and women who have served and are currently serving (in the military) in our community."
Alspach also took the award as an opportunity to talk with lawmakers about Proctor Park, which is located off Tracy Road and created in memory of Sgt. Joseph Proctor, who was killed in Iraq.
"So many people in this county don't know it exists," she said
