It's a rainy day, and so I came back to this after barely starting it a few weeks ago. I hope you enjoy! (Although... it's a bit sad to be enjoyable...)
Disclaimer: Very sadly, I don't own Bones. But, if I did (I wish)... don't worry, I wouldn't be this mean to them.
There is an apartment in Washington, DC. It's empty. The brass lettering on the door reads 2B.
Her best friend always found that ironic... the two B's.
Now there is no movement. There is no one present.
No one's been there in days.
The books stand on the shelves... side by side... no one has touched them. They are alone here, in this room. No one is going to read them. Not in here at least.
A faint collection of dust has built up on the counters, the table, the shelves... everywhere. It would never have gotten that way if the owner was around. If the person who lived there for so many years was ever coming back.
There is a tv mounted on the wall. A large flat screen. It is on; the dull voice of the woman on the screen echoing in the apartment. There is no reason for it to be on; there is no one there to watch it. And so there is no one to turn it off. It seems out of place, and it is. It was hardly used; it was only there for a week before... this. The silence. The emptiness.
And its not just empty here. This isn't the only place where silence encroaches from not only the shadows, but the very air itself. Nothing can stir, no hope can be brought about. Nothing can change the abysmal existence of everyone and everything that comes in contact with this dark place.
It is empty also in another, much cleaner, location. Everything there is sparkling and bright... and yet it is still dark. Mostly it is cold. Because the source of warmth, which was slowly getting stronger with every passing year, has been extinguished in a single second. In a single action. In one heart-breaking moment. Everything went away. Everything is staying away.
There will be activity here again, and activity at that lab. Life goes on.
For some.
A light rain falls outside, and the rain drops splash one by one in a continuous pitter patter of sound and motion into the gathering puddles on the sidewalks, on the roofs, in the petals of flowers, and the leaves on the trees. On the stones that stand lined up one after the other in a pattern that is organized, rational... painful.
A line of people stand there, and they are like the stones. They are each unique, and yet from a distance they all share so very much. They all are focused on the same thing. They all watch. All of their hearts are torn, all of their minds are blank, wiped of the usual thoughts and ideas. Only pain.
Just pain.
The man on the end stands upright, and yet his figure appears hunched. Perhaps because in his heart he is struggling to stay afloat, to stay upright... to not drown in the shock and the sorrow and all the other emotions that he is so used to feeling now. And yet this time is so much worse than all the other sufferings he's been going through. Nothing he's felt yet can compare. Nothing that he will ever feel seems to be able to compare in his mind. He cannot imagine a worse day. He does not want to.
His curly hair catches the raindrops, and they sparkle in it and in his beard. No one notices the tears that are mixed with the water from the sky. No one is looking at him. No one wants to. They are all caught in their own suffering. They do not wish to add that of the others' to it as well.
The woman next to him makes no effort to hide her pain from the world. There is no purpose to doing so. They already know; they can already see it and sense it. The tears flow freely down her cheeks. The salty tang that she can taste on her lips is mixed with the cold and clear taste from the droplets of the heavens.
The whole sky seems to cry with her, and it has been this way for nearly every single day since that first glimpse into what the pain that was coming would be like. Unlike the others, her mind is not focused on the memories, or the fears of the future and the loss... it has already been focusing on that for far too many long, sleepless hours these past weeks... it is focused on colors, on the swirling gray and white turmoil overhead, and the dull faded greens of the grass and the plants... on the red roses so nearby that are slowly dripping rain from their buds and petals. They are all like a watercolor turned on its side before it has had time to dry, before it has had time to reach its potential, before it has gotten to share all of its wonder with the world to the fullest... the paint runs and drips. Falls to the ground like rain. Like tears.
Beside her stands the one who for once fits in with his confused and blank face. He looks lost, like a small child who has just stumbled down the wrong path... never to find his way back again, and destined to roam the world without guidance or aid from those who loved him but vanished like smoke. He does not know what to think. He only knows that he feels something he doesn't usually feel. Sadness. The feeling scares him, and yet, it groups him with the others.
He doesn't know if he should feel this way. He is not used to understanding the emotions around him. And yet... for once he knows exactly why they all stand there, why they are lined up on either side. And why every one of them has that same look as him.
They are all lost. Together. And none find much solace in the fact they aren't alone in that... because they feel as though... they are.
And nothing can ever be the same.
He reaches up to touch his face, frowning and at the same time feeling the confusion deepen as he wonders, to himself, if the water on his face came from within, or from the skies. He has not cried before at a place like this, though he's been here many times before. But it is different this time.
The woman on his other side lowers her head to stare at the ground for a long moment. She isn't one to cry either, but there are times when she will let it go. This is one of them. This is a time when she doesn't know anything anymore. She usually feels control, she usually has control... and now she has none. She lifts her head back up to stare ahead, to face once more the scene before her. She wishes it was not there, that when she looks up perhaps there will be an empty field, and the pain will have gone away.
It does not. Nothing changes, because the change has already occurred. The rip has been made in the fabric of their lives. The hole has formed in their hearts. No stitches, no repairs, can ever replace what was lost, can ever take away the ache and the throbbing pain that is ever the more evident with every beat of their hearts. Because their hearts are the ones that still beat.
A pale man, far younger than many others present, with his short black hair combed neatly, looks anything but composed in his eyes and on his face. He bites his lip and shifts from foot to foot. He knows what he is feeling. He can categorize it. He can tell himself exactly how to overcome it, to begin moving on. He can talk to others, he can grieve... he can move on.
Somehow he cannot take his own advice. Somehow, the tears in his eyes, which he never really noticed forming or falling until the rain contrasted them so sharply on his skin, are keeping him from it. Later... maybe later he will try to fight against the pain, but for now he cannot. The cut was too deep for him to rationalize, to understand. He remembers everything; every time he was ever with these people flashes before his eyes.
He has regrets; he has sorrows about what could have been... and he wishes it was not so. He almost wishes he'd never become tangled within their family, their close-knit web of friendship that went beyond anything he could understand. Because, in this deep, he is no longer watching, no longer observing. He is a part of it, he is one of them, and the tears in his eyes seem to make the fact only that much more evident.
Next are a group that stand closer together, who do not seem to belong as fully, but yet still group themselves among the members here. They feel the loss, even if they never were as close as some of the others. It may be that fact, the fact that they think they are intruding here, that is keeping them from stepping closer, or from even looking at one another.
The taller one, with the hunched stance, always looks that way. But today... somehow the light in his eyes has darkened further, has been extinguished even more so than on any other day. He would be the one they would expect to not be shocked by events like this... to have anticipated and therefore been prepared to suffer and voice that suffering. But he stands there in silence and stares ahead. He is left to wonder on that question that is so familiar to him, about what there is in the world that is good, and that question is ever more painful than before. Because he knew the one that was taken from them.
He ignores the cold trickle of the rain on his head and down his back. This is life. It is meant to be suffering. And this is another horrific event to prove the point only further to him.
To his right is a man with dirty blonde hair, the spikes of it bent down with the droplets of rain. Occasionally one falls to the ground or onto his shoulder. Leaving another dark spot that does not bother him. Nothing really bothers him except for the events of this past week. The events of right now.
Next is a man of Indian decent, his dark brown eyes downcast as he murmurs an almost inaudible prayer under his breath. He does not care that the religion the blessing comes from means nothing to these people who are here suffering. It is the gesture that they will appreciate. That the lost one would probably appreciate.
On the end is a smaller man with pasty white skin. He's British, and he's the one whom they all know to be the talker, the fact teller.
He is silent... completely silent. That along conveys his emotions.
On the other side of the group are two people, detached from the rest, and yet with the same purpose, and the same hurt on their faces and in their eyes. The older one is staring in silence, his mind whirling through images of his daughter, and of his wife. So similar, both of them... and both of them taken from him.
The man beside him lets the tears slide one by one down his face. He cannot believe her to be gone, when he's only just begun to know her again. He whispers a single word under his breath, as though hoping that perhaps he will hear a response, which he does not. "Marco."
The speech being said sorrowfully out loud, by the heavy woman with the normally sharp voice, the words they are all listening to... all silently agreeing with or sobbing along to when the words cut a particularly familiar memory to its core... stop suddenly. The man at the far end, the one who stands so far apart from the rest that it doesn't seem as though he is even a part of the events taking place, suddenly steps forward, suddenly appears. All eyes turn to him, then turn away.
None can watch him. None can bear to.
A single daffodil. A single daisy. A small plastic pig. All lain together on the smooth wooden surface. Three tears fall distinctly beside them as he stands for a long moment, just staring, as though perhaps he can see through the surface, can see right to the center, to where his loss now lays, where the heart of his suffering is centered.
Then he is gone; as quickly as he came forward he vanishes back into the background and watches in silence from a distance as the others step forward one at a time with their roses. With their farewell gifts. He notices the older man placing a small glass object. A dolphin.
He cannot bear to say goodbye. He cannot bear to leave her there. But he must, because he also cannot bear to be here any longer. To listen to anymore words about the life that was led by the person they all miss more than anything else. The life that touched them all, the voice that brought them together, and the strong-minded will that made them all stand back and listen, made them all watch her in wonder while she did things that only they understood.
He had watched, then, too. He had always watched.
She was beautiful when she worked. She had been at all times, of course... but when she was working, he could always see right through her and he could watch her emotions and her passion displayed so clearly on her face.
She had loved her work. She'd loved everything about it, and he'd never doubted that fact. That was why she had never stopped. That was why she'd spent those long nights in that lab that she cared so much for, and those full days with barely a single break in between alongside those who were her family.
Then there were those days with just the two of them; just him and her, in the SUV, at the Diner, getting drinks, interrogating suspects, chasing down leads...
Ice skating. Eating Thai food at midnight.
Each memory is like a blazing firework, lighting up the sky in its brilliance, in its wondrous light and miraculous shape before it falls, before it crashes into the reality of the pain he is left with.
She was like that. Like a brilliant blue firework, shooting into the sky, giving him no option but to look at her, to focus on her, to care about none else in the world but her, to look past the stars and the other wonders of the universe so that she was all that mattered... until slowly she faded away, until she was no longer there and he is now just left with the imprint of her light glowing behind his eyelids whenever he closes them.
Her face is all he can see, no matter where he goes, no matter what he does, no matter who he is with.
Her eyes, aglow with excitement and knowledge, sparkling with that rare light they got when she laughed, or when she understood some reference that he made. And that soft and caring look they had when she got something right; when she said something and he just reached out to put his hand on hers, showing her that she'd said the words he needed to hear.
The way she'd let him in, behind those walls... the way she'd let herself trust him.
And the way he'd failed that trust.
The way he'd failed to save her. The way she had died right in front of him, without so much as a farewell, or a last word, or even a chance for her to hear him cry her name... to beg her to stay with him. She'd already been gone before he'd shouted that first "No!"
He watches as each one of those she called family steps back into the line. Then he watches as she is lowered down, as she vanishes from sight even further away than she already is. This is the finalizing action. This is the true goodbye. He doesn't need to be closer to read the words on the stone that she now lies in front of. He knows them by heart. And it is on his heart that they will be forever etched. That they will never be erased from.
They are the words of closure, even if that closure is never enough.
Nothing can ever close this off. Nothing can make this better, can make this any simpler or any more understandable.
But the words are hers, and they will be held close.
He turns away, and he walks away between the rows, between the places where others lives were shattered, stepping on the ground where so many other tears were shed. And adding his own to them, mingled with the bitter rain, which begins to fall harder as the others disperse.
They all stand together for a moment. They all watch his retreating form. He is more alone than any of them, and they know it.
His retreating form vanishes.
None know when they will see him again. If they will ever see him again.
The door to the empty apartment opens, and the man steps inside. It is no longer empty, now that he is here, but his heart is, and the room seems barren and cold. It is no longer familiar, no longer welcoming.
He hears the tv, and he steps into the other room, his eyes landing on the screen.
He has come to see this place... for one last time. And to find out if maybe there is someplace that he feels closer to her. Where he can just sit and feel her around him... feel as though maybe a bit of the weight has been taken away. That maybe there is hope. The lab could not do that for him.
But this place... it holds only memories of her and him. It cannot make anything less real... not when he is here alone. That makes it more real, if anything.
He doesn't turn off the tv, but slides silently down onto her couch and stares at it. He made her buy it. He remembers the day they'd gone out shopping for it as though it was only yesterday. It might as well have been yesterday, the way the raw pain cuts into him at the reminder of how so very shortly ago she was here, she was with him.
And that now she is no longer.
The reporter on the screen is saying her name, and his eyes focus on it rather than staring blankly through it as he has been doing.
"Dr. Brennan was a renowned forensic anthropologist and can be most noted in many of our minds as the mystery writer and the creator of the beloved character Kathy Reichs and her FBI partner, Andy Lister. The funeral was held today, and although the circumstances of her death have not been made public as of yet, it is certainly true that she will be greatly missed in the hearts of many."
He doesn't even realize he's picked up the remote until he hits the off switch and the screen goes black. He stares at it numbly for a moment, the picture of her, from the back of her third novel, still burned into his mind and not yet vanishing from the screen.
Those who miss her are few, he knows, not many. True, many will miss the writing she provided, or the expertise she gave to the field she had dedicated her life to... but there are only a handful who knew her, and truly knew her. And none quite like him.
None will miss her like him.
None loved her like he did.
He gets back to his feet. He doesn't know where he is going, he just knows that this is not the place to be. There is nothing here for him anymore. Not without her.
He has nothing without her.
This place is just a place... just an empty apartment with the things that were hers... and yet he knows it's the last tangible thing of hers that he might ever see. He doesn't intend to return. He doesn't intend to help clean it out, no matter how bad he might feel about leaving the task to her other friends. But he can't stand to do it... and he knows that helping will only make things worse for those he is working alongside. They will see every time he holds up an item, every time his mind flashes back to the memory attached to it, and they will have to suffer all the more because of the pain on his face.
And he can't stand the look of pain on theirs either.
He opens the door again, and then pauses as he places his copy of her key down on the table by the door. They will understand what that means.
They will know he's not coming back.
He turns away from the room, her face filling his mind as he closes his eyes and listens to the sound of the door clicking shut behind him.
With the sound, he utters two words. The only two words he's said in weeks, with the words from the stone echoing again in his mind.
"Goodbye, Bones."
Dr. Temperance Brennan
There is more than one kind of family. You were and are part of ours.
Rest now; You worked so hard for others, now get some closure of your own.
There is no one more deserving.
You were more than just a scientist, more than just a daughter, more than just a partner...
and you were loved far more than you let herself believe.
We miss you. We love you.
What did you think? Review, please?

Omni 182 help!
I wasn't thinking clearly this morning when I mixed up some omni 182 primer. Instead of 5:1 I mixed it 2:1. Will this work out? I sure hope that it does not need to come back off. Block it out? Am I screwed?
Thanks for your help
That is an awful big swing.
If it were me I would want it off, period.
Really the only one that could give you an answer is PPG as they should know best.
I agree with barry, that is quite a difference in mix ratios. You want the measurement somewhat close. i've already mixed omni 4 to 1 by mistake, so use to a lot of urethane primers being 4 to 1, but I don't think I would feel comfortable myself with that much extra catalyst. Guys at work must never measure out the dang primer, always end up having a lot of primer left and no hardener when you are trying to get something in primer before going home. I've beotched about it a couple times. Wouldn't extra hardener be more prone to chipping and becoming brittle, At least thats what happens to fiberglass resin if you mix it too hot. You can call ppg, but I can imagine what their reply would be. More product sold, don't want to be responsible saying you could let it slide and have people complaining later cause of problems and they said it was okay.
I was hoping to avoid taking it back off. I just hit 3 areas that needed touch up, otherwise the rest was blocked out to my level of perfection. I'm going to have fun sanding it off then getting the pannels flat again.
The local supplier said no problem with overcatalizing. PPG said strip it off.
The local supplier said no problem with overcatalizing. PPG said strip it off.

It really is time to find a new supplier!
There is no excuse for that kind of advice.

In our work with teams we often find communication problems which are rooted in some occurrence, often years earlier, in which one person said or did something to another person that was hurtful in some way. From that point on the relationship became toxic and communication ceased to be productive. Now we arrive and bring the team together for a team-building session of some type. In the course of that meeting we discover the relationship issue. What to do? Continue reading

If I had to boil AiA down into it's most basic components it would be the three reminder cards - I AM, I CAN, and I WILL. The original program had these three cards and three copies of the PATIENCE card - that's it for reminder cards. I think you can tell that Bob... Continue reading

It is probably not necessary to make a case for the power of trust in relationships of any kind - business, professional, or personal. We use the word a lot and still struggle to understand it, develop it and, when lost, restore it. Bob Conklin, in this vignette ending the unit on Attitude Awareness, writes about mutual trust. It is unfortunate that we allocate no time to discussing his vignettes since they are usually quite powerful and thought-provoking. And this one is no exception.

15 Proven Ways to Gain Exposure for Your Design Portfolio
For many designers creating an attractive portfolio site is not the problem, getting people to see it is often much more of an issue. In order for the portfolio site to truly do it's job it must be well-designed and it must attract the right types of visitors. In this post we'll look at 15 things that you can do to increase the effectiveness of your portfolio site by getting more exposure for it.
1. Have a High-Quality Design for Your Portfolio Site
Not only is the quality of design of the items in your portfolio important, but the design of your portfolio site itself will also have a big impact on potential clients. Clients will expect a designer to have an attractive and usable site, otherwise they will question the work that the designer will be able to do for them.
When designing and coding your portfolio site be sure that it is getting all of the attention that it deserves. After all, it will be one of the most important aspects of your business, so it should not be rushed.
Impressive portfolio sites are great for encouraging visitors to contact you about their project, and they are also more likely to attract links and attention from other designers and bloggers.

It's official. The 2016 Atlantic hurricane season wraps up Wednesday with 15 named storms, 7 hurricanes and 3 major hurricanes. It is the busiest Atlantic season since 2012. On average there are 12 named storms, 6 hurricanes and 3 major hurricanes, so there was an above average number of named storms and hurricanes in 2016. The slightly above average season is in line with predictions from NOAA and Colorado State University. In their late summer update NOAA upped their forecast to 12-17 named storms, 5-8 hurricanes and 2-4 major hurricanes. Colorado State anticipated 15 named storms, 6 hurricanes and 2 major hurricanes. Prior to the start of the 2016 season La Niña conditions were anticipated at the peak of season late in the summer. With possible lower wind shear and warmer waters tropical cyclone development would be enhanced. This never panned out and the La Niña Watch was dropped in early September. Even without the presence of a weak La Niña a slightly above average Atlantic season occurred.Several storms were strong and long-lived in 2016. When we analyze the total energy output of all tropical systems during the entire hurricane season, or ACE, the number is high is 2016. According to Dr. Klotzbach at Colorado State University the ACE this year is 134. This is more than double the ACE from 2015. Two hurricanes made landfall in the U.S.. Hermine is the first hurricane to hit Florida since Wilma in 2005. Hurricane Matthew paralleled Florida and Georgia and made landfall in South Carolina as a category 1 hurricane. Matthew was a category 5 hurricane in the Caribbean. It is the first category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic Basin since Felix in 2007. Tropical Storm Colin made landfall in Florida and Bonnie struck South Carolina as a tropical depression in South Carolina. Julia threw a curve ball. It formed over Florida, the first named storm to form over the Sunshine State. Hurricane Otto made landfall in Nicaragua on Thanksgiving. It is the latest hurricane to make landfall anywhere in the Atlantic Basin.The 2016 season started well before June 1st. Hurricane Alex formed in rare fashion in January and made landfall in the Azores. It is the first January Atlantic hurricane since 1938. Hurricane Alice formed in late December 1954 and maintained hurricane strengthen in early January 1955 too. Fast forward to late May and Tropical Storm Bonnie also formed before June 1st. It formed over the warm Gulf Stream in the western Atlantic and made landfall near Charleston as a tropical depression. Bonnie drenched the Carolinas and brought rip currents to the coastline Memorial Day weekend.A third named storm formed in early June. Colin was a sheared tropical storm that made landfall in Florida's Big Bend. Most of the rain was on the eastern side of the storm. Parts of Tampa Bay had over 15 inches of rainfall from tropical moisture associated with Colin. The storm brought rough surf and rip currents to the Mid Atlantic a few days later. In mid-June Danielle formed in the Bay of Campeche. It was a short-lived storm that made landfall in mountainous east Mexico.We waited another 6 weeks for the next named storm. Earl originated as a tropical wave off the coast of Africa. It became the 2nd hurricane of 2016 in the Caribbean in early August. It made landfall as a category 1 hurricane in Belize and made a second landfall in Mexico as a tropical storm. Landslides and heavy rain brought significant damage to the region. Cape Verde season was in full swing and in mid-August Tropical Storm Fiona formed over the open central Atlantic. It dissipated due to plenty of dry African air and wind shear a few days later. Gaston became the first major hurricane of the season on August 28th. Fortunately it stayed over the central Atlantic and didn't affect any land masses. Gaston was quite resilient and maintained tropical cyclone status for 12 days. Its remnants brought squalls to the Azores.Hurricane Hermine put an end to the hurricane landfall drought it Florida. It made landfall in the Big Bend region on September 1st as a category 1 hurricane. It is the first hurricane to hit the Sunshine State since Wilma in October 2005. Hermine is also the first hurricane to hit the U.S. since Arthur in July 2014. It brought a record 7.5 feet storm surge to Cedar Key. The Tampa Bay area had a 2-4 foot surge. Parts of north and central Florida had over a foot of rain, including 22.36″ at Lake Tarpon Canal in Pinellas counties. Heavy rain moved on to the Southeast and Mid Atlantic.September was an active month. Tropical Storm Ian formed over the central Atlantic in mid-September. It stayed out to sea. After Ian is Julia. Oddly enough Julia formed over northeast Florida in mid September. It is the first tropical cyclone to form over the state of Florida. Julia meandered off of South Carolina and brought rough surf and rip currents to the state. Long-lived Tropical Storm Karl neared hurricane strength northeast of Bermuda in late September. Outer rain bands brought tropical storm wind gusts to Bermuda International Airport on September 24th. Tropical Storm Lisa formed west of the Cabo Verde Islands in late September. It dissipated a few days later over the open Atlantic due to strong wind shear and dry air.

Otto A Hurricane; To Make Landfall in Central America on Thanksgiving
In 36 hours Tropical Depression 16 becomes Hurricane Otto in the southwest Caribbean. Otto is the 7th hurricane of the 2016 Atlantic season and is set to make landfall on Thanksgiving as a hurricane near the Nicaragua/Costa Rica border. According to the National Hurricane Center Otto is the latest hurricane formation on record in the Caribbean Sea, surpassing Martha in 1969. As of 4 PM EST max sustained winds are at 75 mph and Otto meanders west at 2 mph. Pressure is down to 984 mb. Otto thrives over warm Caribbean waters. Wind shear is marginally favorable for a bit more strengthening before landfall on Thursday. Enhanced satellite imagery shows a more defined tropical cyclone Tuesday afternoon. Hurricane hunters will investigate Otto for the second time Tuesday late in the day. Hurricane force winds only extend out 10 miles from the center while tropical storm force winds extend out 70 miles. A small wobble north or south will make the difference in damaging winds in Nicaragua and/or Costa Rica. Costa Rica has never had a direct hit from a hurricane.
Here is the late day advisory on Otto. The NHC brings Hurricane Otto near the Nicaragua/Costa Rica border Thursday afternoon (Thanksgiving). By Friday if a tropical storm still holds together Otto will keep its name in the East Pacific.
Late November named storms are extremely rare. Only 16 named storms have formed in the Atlantic Basin from November 21st to November 30th since 1851. Notice two origin points similar to the formation location of Otto north of Panama. The graphic below is courtesy Google Earth.
Heavy rainfall is the primary threat. Parts of Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama could see 6 to 12 inches of rainfall through Thursday. In northern Costa Rica and southern Nicaragua closer to landfall isolated amounts of 15 to 20 inches are possible. Flash flooding and mudslides is likely near higher terrain. The GFS brings Otto inland over south Nicaragua Thursday afternoon. The Euro also shows a landfall in south Nicaragua. It suggests a stronger more compact hurricane at landfall.
Tropical Storm Otto Forms; Headed For Central America Later This Week
After a week of watching and waiting Tropical Depression 16 forms in the southwest Caribbean early Monday. It quickly became upgraded to Otto, the 15th named storm of the 2016 Atlantic season Monday afternoon. Tiny Tropical Storm Otto is stationary at 1PM EST with max sustained winds of 50 mph. It is embedded in a pocket of moderate southwesterly shear but sits over very warm Caribbean waters. Gradual organization is likely early this week. Hurricane hunters will investigate the disturbance Tuesday. Otto headed for Nicaragua and Costa Rica Thursday as a possible category 1 hurricane. Remnants of Otto will emerge in the east Pacific Friday and Saturday. November named storms rare. Late November named storms are even rarer. According Dr. Klotzbach of Colorado State University the formation of Otto in the western Caribbean is the 4th latest on record since 1851. Just last year there was a November named storm, Hurricane Kate. Kate formed in early November.
The 12Z GFS is in line with the official NHC intensity forecast and develops Hurricane Otto by Thursday morning. By Friday, this model suggests a strengthening hurricane will make landfall in southeast Nicaragua. This is a little further north than the NHC forecast. Meanwhile the 0Z ECMWF model keeps Otto much weaker with a landfall further south near the Nicaragua/Costa Rica border Thursday afternoon. There are still a couple days to tweak this forecast.
The main threat for portions of Central America will be heavy rainfall. Parts of Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama will see several inches of rain mid to late work week. Some areas could pick up 10 to 15 inches off rainfall near higher terrain. Flash flooding and dangerous mudslides are possible.
Invest 90L Meanders Near Central America; Could Develop This Work Week
While convection increases near Invest 90L in the extreme southwest Caribbean Saturday the disturbance is still disorganized. The broad area of low pressure has not moved much over the past few days and it will continue to meander uncomfortably close to Central America in the days ahead. Wind shear is moderate overhead which limits organization in the short-term. Tropical depression development is unlikely the next 2 days but there is medium 50% chance by Thursday.
The 0Z Euro is still the most aggressive model in development over the next 7 days. By Thursday morning a weak tropical depression sits east of Nicaragua and Panama. By next weekend this model brings heavy rain and a weak hurricane to this area. Meanwhile the 06Z GFS brings a weak Tropical Storm Otto into Nicaragua Thursday morning with deep tropical moisture exiting by late week/next weekend.
Regardless of development heavy rain is possible for portions of Central America by mid to late work week. Of course specific amounts depend of the exact track. The GFS brings several inches of rain to Panama and Nicaragua between now and Friday afternoon.
Invest 90L Remains Disorganized: Development Still Expected By Weekend
As of Wednesday afternoon, Invest 90L in the Southwest Caribbean remained very disorganized and lacked much convection. However, a modest swirl was still evident on enhanced satellite imagery, and the odds of development are still rather high over the next 5 days. The National Hurricane Center has 2 day odds at 30%, but 5 day odds at 80%.
Regardless of development, 90L will be a slow and erratic mover. There is little steering current in the Southwest Caribbean over the next week, and so the models are split in every which direction of where 90L will meander. Below are several model forecasts through next Tuesday.
As for actual development, the European model has been the most aggressive. By the middle of next week, the operational run shows Tropical Storm Otto in the Southwest Caribbean, and several of its more prominent ensemble members show the same solution. They also show little in the way of movement in that timeframe. Here is the forecast from the ECMWF for one week from today.
Meanwhile, the GFS hasn't showed as much development, and keeps 90L as a tropical depression, or even just a broad area of low pressure. Here is the GFS solution for the middle of next week.
Even though its late in the season, there are a couple factors working in favor of tropical development for Invest 90L. The wind shear over the Southwest Caribbean will remain quite light over the next week, and sea surface temperatures are above average (~1° above normal).
Regardless of development, the biggest threat for 90L looks to be heavy rain. While most of the models keep the heaviest rain offshore, a wobble or shift west in the track could mean very heavy rain for portions of Central America.
Invest 90L Likely to Become Otto in the Caribbean; Will Meander For A While
An area of disturbed weather, now pinned Invest 90L, shows some signs of gradual organization Tuesday in the southwest Caribbean. Outflow has improved, pressure has dropped some and convection is scattered. A tropical depression/Tropical Storm Otto is likely to form later this week or this weekend. Invest 90L will move little in the days ahead and meander near Central America.
Wind shear favors gradual strengthening in the Caribbean. Wind shear is low overhead at 5-10 kts. Hostile upper level winds will remain well north of Invest 90L. The graphic below shows the green favorable shear over the area of disturbed weather and the red unfavorable shear over the Gulf of Mexico and northwest Caribbean. The graphic below is courtesy the University of Wisconsin.
There won't be much steering to guide Invest 90L and it could meander in the Caribbean near Central America for 7+ days. This could spell a heavy rain threat for some . Strong high pressure over the eastern U.S. will keep this disturbance well south of Florida and the U.S.. Here is the 18Z computer model forecast through next Monday. A wobble west towards Central America or north and east towards Jamaica and Hispaniola will make a huge difference in any tropical impacts in these locations.
While the future track of possible Otto remains unknown, so is the future intensity. Some models are more aggressive than others. The 12Z Euro shows a stronger possible Hurricane Otto over the warm Caribbean waters by next Tuesday. The 12Z GFS shows a weaker Tropical Storm Otto closer to Central America. This would mean a heavy rain threat and tropical storm conditions for portions of Central America. Stay tuned as this is a ways off.
Keeping An Eye on the Southwest Caribbean
The southwest Caribbean is a place to watch for tropical depression development this week. Only 5% of named storms form in November so it is rare, but not impossible. Most recently Kate became a hurricane in November 2015. On Monday it's a wait and see situation. Wind shear is low in the extreme southwest Caribbean and broad low pressure may form over the next 5 days. Officially, there is a medium chance of tropical depression development by Saturday. The next named storm is Otto. The movement would be slow north or northeast.
This is a favorable spot for a tropical low to develop. Sea surface temperatures in the low to mid 80s are plenty warm for organization.
Computer models and some ensembles are on board with tropical depression development late work week/this weekend. The 12Z European model shows a tropical depression/possible weak Tropical Storm Otto Friday near Central America. The 12Z GFS is slower to develop this feature but does show pressure lowering in the vicinity Friday.
One change in the computer models over the past few days is the slow movement of the possible future tropical depression/named storm. With a series of highs building in over the Southeast U.S. the low may be suppressed south and meander in the Caribbean for several days. This could pose a heavy rain threat for Central America/some of the islands. Below is the 12Z European model versus the 12Z GFS model Monday afternoon. The Euro shows a weak Tropical Storm Otto drifting near Hispaniola. The GFS suggests an even slower moving and also weak tropical cyclone over the warm waters of the southwest Caribbean.
Watching the Caribbean This Week
Meanwhile the GFS does not develop a tropical feature as wind shear may be too high. Below is the wind shear forecast for Thursday morning. Regardless, we will monitor the Caribbean this week for any developments.
Final Weeks of 2016 Atlantic Hurricane Season; Wind Shear is Still High
It's the final stretch of the 2016 Atlantic Hurricane season. Wind shear has kept the Atlantic Basin in check. On Monday upper level winds are unfavorable for tropical depression development in the Gulf of Mexico, northwest Caribbean and Atlantic. There are no signs of any tropical depression development over the next 5 days.
It's a ways off, but long-range models hint that the western Caribbean is a place to watch in about 7-10 days. While wind shear has been high in the northwest Caribbean it has been significantly lower in the southwest Caribbean. Below is the forecast as pressure begins to lower next Monday evening. Climatology favors a northeast track mid-week next week. We'll keep you posted if model trends continue.
Final Month of Atlantic Season Begins; Wind Shear Remains High
The final month of the 2016 Atlantic hurricane season begins Tuesday. It's typically the quietest month of the season. Only 5% of named storms form in November. While named storms in November are less common compared to other months, they do occur. Most recently, Kate became a hurricane in the Atlantic in 2015. According to the National Hurricane Center more than 100 tropical cyclones have been tracked during November.
Tropical systems that form in November often originate in the western Caribbean or near the Bahamas. This can be along decaying frontal boundaries. Any storms that do form and gain tropical characteristics tend to track northeast over the open Atlantic. High wind shear and cooler water temperatures limit tropical cyclones in November.
Wind shear is incredibly high in the Gulf of Mexico, the northwest Caribbean and the western and central Atlantic Tuesday. This is indicated by the unfavorable red color on the graphic below (courtesy University of Wisconsin). There are a few pockets of slightly more favorable upper level winds in the south and eastern Caribbean. We've been eyeing a weakening area of low near Puerto Rico. Clearly high westerly shear took a toll on the low as it moves northeast. Officially, per the NHC, no tropical depression development is expected over the next 5 days.
As mentioned over the weekend the GFS and European model hint that low pressure will spin up over the open central Atlantic later this work week. That is still the case Tuesday. At this point this appears to be a non tropical area of low pressure and won't impact any land masses.

Chef Yotam Ottolenghi today called for a change in the law to allow surrogate mothers to be paid.
The Israeli-born chef, 44, and his partner Karl Allen became parents to son Max this year after paying at least £65,000 to a Californian surrogacy service which used a mother-of-four named as Melanie.
Ottolenghi, a former MasterChef judge, said: "In the UK, surrogates can only get their expenses. An ordinary person couldn't even contemplate going to America.
"It actually cost us much more than the £65,000, and most of it went to the agency and for the huge cost of medical insurance rather than the actual surrogate.
"It is such a shame because there are so many couples in the UK — gay and straight — who can't conceive naturally and could benefit enormously."
The chef and his partner decided to have a child five years ago but co-parenting with lesbians from Brighton proved too complicated and other attempts with a friend failed after four rounds of IVF.
Ottolenghi described his son as "the most incredible creation".

I am completing the PMP on a part-time basis at the same time as my full-time job as a classroom teacher at a Primary School in Wiltshire. I chose to do this course to improve my understanding of teaching and learning and to develop as a teacher, improving the learning experiences of the children I teach. I also enjoy it! I chose Bath Spa University because of the connections with Wiltshire County Council; my first 2 action research projects were completed as a joint course between the two. I really like the fact that the course is linked to my teaching so I can see, and note, the benefits it is having on my teaching and the children. I like how I have been able to complete the PMP part-time and to a certain degree at my own pace, depending on my teaching job. I have found the lecturers at Bath Spa are easily contactable and are always available to help with any questions I have. Also, the campus is in a beautiful situation with lots of resources to use. I'm still completing the course but so far it has taught me to be more of a reflective teacher, and will help with my future career development. The PMP is a highly enjoyable programme that has made me really 'think' and develop my teaching.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) has been fully operational for over a decade, and during this period, the technology has proved its potential in various application areas. Some of the important applications of GPS are crustal deformation studies, vehicle guidance systems, and more recently, in LiDAR.

Chatty Protocol
Definition - What does Chatty Protocol mean?
A chatty protocol involves a protocol where the data on a network has to be accompanied by a lot of back-and-forth between the client and the server. Touch points of communication showing the availability of a server or network component is considered part of a chatty protocol. It is considered "chatty" because the multiple parties in the system have to talk to each other, back and forth, in order to accommodate data transfer.
Techopedia explains Chatty Protocol
Network engineers can avoid chatty protocols by decreasing the number of times that an individual message requires back-and-forth communication. For example, in SNMP or Simple Network Management Protocol, engineers can look at an example where there are multiple communication points where a message has to wait for news of network availability. One common technique involves creating a standard process for multiple transmissions that use the same kinds of queries. By decreasing the instances of wait time, the engineers make the protocol instance less chatty.

Malcolm Gluck
Malcolm Gluck is a British author, broadcaster and wine columnist.
Initially an advertising copywriter for Collett Dickenson Pearce, Doyle Dane Bernbach, a founder employee of Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO and later creative director for Lintas, Gluck was for sixteen years the wine correspondent of The Guardian with the column "Superplonk". In addition to contributing articles for other publications, including Harpers Magazine he was a wine critic of The Oldie until 2011,[1] and the author of 36 books about wine. Among his titles are Superplonk, Streetplonk, Brave New World and The Great Wine Swindle, the latter declared to become his final book due to the anticipated negative reaction of people in the wine industry.[2] He also featured in the BBC programme Gluck, Gluck, Gluck.
Gluck has been described as a "self-styled champion of the ordinary wine drinker, fighting against the perceived snobbery and stuffiness of the wine world".[3]
In November 2008 a survey by the wine industry consultancy firm Wine Intelligence was made public, having polled the views of more than 1,500 regular UK wine drinkers, results show that Gluck was the fifth most recognised wine critic in the UK.[4]
Appearing in the Channel 4 episode of Dispatches titled "What's in your wine?" in 2008, Gluck stated, "Many, many wines are no better than a sort of alcoholic cola. You get artificial yeasts, enzymes, sugar, extracts, tannins, all sorts of things added",[5] a statement widely received with outrage in the wine industry.[6]
Gluck's other controversial statements include, "Terroir is rubbish. It is complete utter balderdash from the first syllable of its pretentious and mendacious utterance to its last".[7] In reference to his opposition to cork stoppers, Gluck has stated, "Sticking a cork made from tree bark in a wine made in 1999 is like producing a modern motor car with a starting handle",[8] and he has declared cork taint "a serial killer of good wine".[2]
In the book The Great Wine Swindle, Gluck contends that the wine industry is "populated by liars, scroungers and cheats, administered by charlatans and snake-oil salesman and run on a system of misrepresentation and ritualised fraud".[2]
Gluck has also been involved in a public disagreement with author Salman Rushdie over who is the quicker book-signer.[9][10][11]
In January 2009, Gluck made a series of contentions on the nature of beer drinkers in the "Word of Mouth" pages of The Guardian, in an article asserting the rising numbers of wine drinkers in Britain, stating that "beer is only drunk by losers and sadsacks, unsexy people who care nothing for their minds or their bodies," and, "are also terrible lovers, awful husbands, and untidy flatmates".[12] The statements drew prompt responses from beer writers Roger Protz and Melissa Cole,[13][14] with Gluck challenged by Cole to appear at a beer and food pairing event.[15]
Charity work[edit]
Gluck hosted deafblind charity Sense's first ever blind wine auction in October 2006, guiding guests through a wide variety of wine as they tasted the drinks in total darkness. The event was held at Dans Le Noir, a London restaurant where customers eat in the dark, which is one of Sense's corporate partners.
