Chapter I: The Bet
Hey, Tom! Where were you last night?"
"Yeah, you missed it."
Alan and Billy came up the front walk. Tom was sitting on his porch steps, bouncing a tennis ball.
"Old Man Tator caught Joe as we were climbing through the fence, so we all had to go back, and he made us pile the peaches on his kitchen table, and then he called our mothers."
"Joe's mother hasn't let him out yet."
"Where were you?"
Tom stopped bouncing the tennis ball. He was a tall, skinny boy who took his troubles very seriously.
"My mother kept me in."
"What for?"
"I wouldn't eat my dinner."
Alan sat down on the step below Tom and began to chew his thumbnail.
"What was it?"
"Salmon casserole."
Billy flopped down on the grass, chunky, snub-nosed, freckled.
"Salmon casserole's not so bad."
"Wouldn't she let you just eat two bites?" asked Alan. "Sometimes my mother says, well, all right, if I'll just eat two bites."
"I wouldn't eat even one."
"That's stupid," said Billy. "One bite can't hurt you. I'd eat one bite of anything before I'd let them send me up to my room right after supper."
Tom shrugged.
"How about mud?" Alan asked Billy. "You wouldn't eat a bite of mud."
Alan argued a lot, small, knobby-kneed, nervous, gnawing at his thumbnail, his face smudged, his red hair mussed, shirttail hanging out, shoelaces untied.
"Sure, I would," Billy said. "Mud. What's mud? Just dirt with a little water in it. My father says everyone eats a pound of dirtevery year anyway."
"How about poison?"
"That's different." Billy rolled over on his back.
"Is your mother going to make you eat the leftovers today at lunch?" he asked Billy.
"She never has before."
"How about worms?" Alan asked Billy.
Tom's sister's cat squirmed out from under the porch and rubbed against Billy's knee.
"Sure," said Billy. "Why not? Worms are just dirt."
"Yeah, but they bleed."
"So you'd have to cook them. Cows bleed."
"I bet a hundred dollars you wouldn't really eat a worm. You talk big now, but you wouldn't if you were sitting at the dinner table with a worm on your plate."
"I bet I would. I'd eat fifteen worms if somebody'd bet me a hundred dollars."
"You really want to bet? I'll bet you fifty dollars you can't eat fifteen worms. I really will."
"Where're you going to get fifty dollars?"
"In my savings account. I've got one hundred and thirty dollars and seventy-nine cents in my savings account. I know, because last week I put in the five dollars my grandmother gave me for my birthday."
"Your mother wouldn't let you take it out."
"She would if I lost the bet. She'd have to. I'd tell her I was going to sell my stamp collection otherwise. And I bought that with all my own money that I earned mowing lawns, so I can do whatever I want with it. I'll bet you fifty dollars you can't eat fifteen worms. Come on. You're chicken. You know you can't do it."
"I wouldn't do it," said Tom. "If salmon casserole makes me sick, think what fifteen worms would do."
Joe came scuffing up the walk and flopped down beside Billy. He was a small boy, with dark hair and a long nose and big brown eyes.
"What's going on?"
"Come on," said Alan to Billy. "Tom can be your second and Joe'll be mine, just like in a duel. You think it's so easy — here's your chance to make fifty bucks."
Billy dangled a leaf in front of the cat, but the cat just rubbed against his knee, purring.
"What kind of worms?"
"Regular worms."
"Not those big green ones that get on the tomatoes. I won't eat those. And I won't eat them all at once. It might make me sick. One worm a day for fifteen days."
"And he can eat them any way he wants," said Tom. "Boiled, stewed, fried, fricasseed."
"Yeah, but we provide the worms," said Joe. "And there have to be witnesses present when he eats them; either me or Alan or somebody we can trust. Not just you and Billy."
"Okay?" Alan said to Billy.
Billy scratched the cat's ears. Fifty dollars. That was lot of money. How bad could a worm taste? He'd eaten fried liver, salmon loaf, mushrooms, tongue, pig's feet. Other kids' parents were always nagging them to eat, eat; his had begun to worry about how much he ate. Not that he was fat. He just hadn't worked off all his winter blubber yet.
He slid his hand into his shirt and furtively squeezed the side of his stomach. Worms were just dirt; dirt wasn't fattening.
If he won fifty dollars, he could buy that mini-bike George Cunningham's brother had promised to sell him in September before he went away to college. Heck, he could gag anything down for fifty dollars, couldn't he?
He looked up. "I can use ketchup or mustard or anything like that? As much as I want?"
Alan nodded. "Okay?"
Billy stood up.

I recommend the book How to Eat Fried Worms. If you like to dare people to do stuff this book will be good for you. It begins when a group of boys bet Billy to eat fried worms. Billy's mom saw him eating worms and she called the doctor. If you want to know more, you can read the book How to Eat Fried Worms.
EWWWWW!!! Never Eat Fried Worms you know why you should never eat fried worms. You should never eat them because they can make you sick like Billy. Never eat them even if you made a bet for money or something else. What happens in How To Eat Fried Worms is that a boy named Billy is doing a bet with two other boys named Joe and Alan. You want to know what the bet is? The bet is that Billy has to eat 15 worms in 15 days and if he does he is going to get $50 but if doesn't he is not getting anything. You want to know what is my favorite part is? My favorite part of How To Eat Fried Worms is when Billy ate all the worms and said I won the $50. I recommend this book to you because it is funny and the author wrote the book with good expression. This is why I recommend this book to you. Mustard ketchup and horseradish on a worm? That is from the book how to eat fried worms. The book is about 2 friends that make a bet to see it Billy can eat 15 worms in 15 days. The friends start the bet by saying that Tom stayed in for not eating his dinner then Billy said that he could eat anything then Joe said no you can't how about worms? And that is how the bet started. My favorite part was when Joe and Alan sendt a fake letter to Billy's mom. I don't recommend that anyone else read this book because it was boring.
When I read this book I was amazed.I read it millions of times, and I still lagh when read it.
How To Eat Fried Worms is a hillarious story! I have read it dozens of times and still laugh out loud and cheer for corageous Billy. A great story for all ages.
Have you ever read How to Eat Fried Worms? Well, I have and it is a good book. It doesn¿t have many pictures, but it is still a good book. It seem like a mystery book sometimes because you don¿t know what¿s going to happen next. The book is about a kid named Billy. He makes a bet with two kids named Joe and Alan. Joe and Alan bet Billy he couldn¿t eat 15 worms in 15 days. If Billy can eat 15 worms in 15 days, then Joe and Allan will give Billy 50 dollars. I like the end of the story because Billy had to sneak out of the house so he could do something, but I can¿t tell you what he had to do. If you have a dog or a cat at home, you should read How To Eat Fried Worms to him/her.
This book is cool. I had to read it for a class assiment and I couldn't put it down. It may sound gross but it is soo cool.
This book is wierd,disguising,and cool!The reason why it's cool to me is because hes eating a fried worm!!!!! Cool!!
I thought it was about someone eating worms. My feelings about this book was enjoyed. How to eat fried worms was what I expected. I feel the same about the book and nothing has changed. How to eat fried worms is a story were this kid named Billy eats worms because he made a bet. He was making fun of this kid that didn't eat his vegtables so he couldn't go hang out with his friends. So Billy said he could eat fifteen worms. This book is fiction and the author is Thomas Rockwell. I liked this book because the story is well written and and just great. You should read How to eat fried worms. I feel that this book is for kids ages 6-14. This book rocks
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars because it was really exiting. Billy, Allan, Joe, were making a bet. Allan asked Billy, I'll give you 50 dollars if you eat 15 worms the bet is on he said. Allan was kind of nervous because he would have to ask his dad 50 dollars out of his bank account if he lost. I would recommend this book because it was really exciting and interesting.
This is a good book to read with your child.
It was an okay book because it started not to make sense in the middle. then when it got to the end it started to make a little sense. i hope to see the movie so i can see it more clearly.
This book was interesting, but did not satisfy me fully. It is fairly enjoyable, so I still recommend it.
With the Harry Potter craze, it reminded me of this book that I read as a young girl. Yea, sure, I thought is was digusting, but I couldn't put the book down. Everyone was talking about this book. Especially the boys, so I had to check it out. I'll buy it to have on my shelf for my kids when they are old enough.
How to eat fried worms is a really juicy but funny book. Imagine... eating 15 worms for 50 $$$ Would you??? I would
Thomas Rockwell, (author) makes Billie an exciting character. Billie gets caught in a tough situation when he makes a bet to eat fried worms. It is a book you can not put down because each time you want to it gets closer to knowing if he will make it through the bet to win fifty dollars.
I think that How To Eat Fried Worms is very outstanding because I love to read great and interesting books about boys getting in trouble. I think Joe is in some ways like me because I would try to cheat too. My favorite part is where Billy gets thrown in the tool closet. I reccommend this book to other kids who likes to read in the summer.
The best part of the book I really liked was when Billy fried and put ketchup, mustard, lemon,Worchestershire sauce,and cinnamon-and-suger on the worms. Billy chopped up the worms and ate one bite at a time. The slimy and gross worm would be great at the dinner table.
The bet was funny that Joe, Alan, Billy, and Tom made. Billy had to eat 15 worms in 15 days so he would win 50 dollars. He put stuff on them to make them taste better.
I thought that this book would be boring but I was wrong. It was great when Tom and Billy daydreamed about driving the dirt bike to unusual places. I reccommend reading this after dinner!!
I think this book was really funny. My favorite chapter is 3:15 am. Their mom had to call Doctor Mcgrath when Billy had eaten five worms that afternoon.
I think this was a good book but I don't think you shoud read it after eating. It's also pretty funny.

U.S. women set world record, win gold in medley relay
LONDON – Swimming is, at the heart of it, an individual sport.
You're alone in the water in a lane of a pool. You're racing the clock. You motivate yourself.
You wouldn't know that if you listened to the U.S. women's swimming team.
In these Olympics, so much of the conversation has been about teamwork. Camaraderie. Dancing. Oh yes, the dancing.
Each member of the U.S. women's 4x100-meter medley relay final called the gold medal — won Saturday night in world-record fashion — a perfect and fitting end to these Games.
They made the perfect team, with three women who had set world records swimming the first three legs. Allison Schmitt, the one who hadn't broken an individual world record, got to touch the wall 14-hundredths of a second ahead of world-record pace in the relay. The four embraced moments later.
It was fitting because they had won so much gold already, so it was no surprise that they would win gold for the USA in the medley relay for the first time in the Olympics since 2000. Missy Franklin (backstroke), Rebecca Soni (breaststroke), Dana Vollmer (butterfly) and Schmitt (freestyle) combined for a time of 3:52.05. Australia won silver, and Japan earned bronze.
All week, the American women have been talking about how much fun they've been having and how close they've become as teammates. In an individual sport such as swimming, that's fairly uncommon.
They give a lot of credit to U.S. women's coach Teri McKeever, who has also coached at the University of California for the last 20 years.
"More than the medals, it was the team that has completely impressed me this trip," said Vollmer, who also competed in Athens in 2004. "I'll never forget being a part of this group. Teri has always told me I'm not going to remember the times or how many medals I got, it's going to be the relationships that I've made.
"This meet has just been full of them. This relay in particular, being in the ready room and just laughing and smiling and being in the warm-up pool, dancing with Missy. That's what it's been about."
At their news conference after winning gold, the four relay swimmers sat side-by-side. Schmitt and Franklin, the two youngest, were giggling and joking with each other. Vollmer and Soni, roommates here who each broke two world records in these Games, played the roles of the serious veterans.
The young, dancing, enthusiastic crowd injected new life into the group, and the older, experienced swimmers kept the youngsters focused. It took both groups to win 14 medals in London.
After the medley, after weeks of training camp and winning medals, an emotional McKeever talked about how important relationships between teammates can be, particularly for women. Relationships with coaches matter, too, and Vollmer said it helped greatly to have McKeever.
"It just kind of hit me that it's been this good," said McKeever, her eyes watering. "I'm proud of my role. I think it made a difference, and I'm proud of that."
Soni said McKeever helped the women who competed against each other for Olympic roster spots a month ago in the U.S. trials become a team.
"It's not like you can just say, 'Hey, go be friends,' " Soni said. "What we did was relied on each other, trusted each other. What we did sometimes was separate the rookies from the veterans to talk about things and then brought them back.
"It's more fun to talk to each other than be talked at."
And sometimes, words aren't necessary. Franklin, Schmitt and Elizabeth Beisel regaled the news media all week with stories of dancing in the ready room, their key to relaxing before races.
Even the men noticed, and the chemistry was contagious. Freestyler Nathan Adrian, who won three gold and one silver medal in London, said the girls made him smile and lighten up before his races.
"It's a really good time right now," McKeever said. "Things kind of go cyclical. I think the women have been a bit overshadowed by Michael (Phelps) and Ryan (Lochte)."
They might still be, at least for a night. When the greatest swimmer in history says he's retiring, that happens.
But in upcoming weeks and years, particularly as Franklin's popularity grows, it could be time for the American women to steal back the spotlight — together.

Prince William has quit operational military service, Kensington Palace announced today
The Duke of Cambridge's seven-and-a-half-year full-time Armed Services career ended after he completed his last 24-hour shift as a search and rescue pilot with the Royal Air Force in Anglesey on Tuesday.
William, 31, is now considering a number of options for public service and the Palace will make a further announcement next year.
It was also revealed today that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and royal baby Prince George will move into their official residence at Kensington Palace within the next few weeks.
Informed sources say William's move, however, does not mean he will throw himself into "full-time" royal duties and the next 12 months will be a "transitional year".
The Prince – who when King will be Head of the Armed Forces – will continue with ceremonial military roles.
The Queen has already appointed him Colonel of the Irish Guards.
A Kensington Palace statement said today: "His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge is to leave operational service in the Armed Forces.
"He completes his tour with the Royal Air Force Search and Rescue Force at RAF Valley, Anglesey, after more than seven-and-a-half years of full-time military service.
"He will continue to support the work of the Queen and the royal family through a programme of official engagements, both at home and overseas, with the Duchess of Cambridge.
"The Duke will work closely over the next 12 months with the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry.
"He will expand his work in the field of conservation, particularly in respect of endangered species. The Duke will continue to work with his charities on issues relating to children and young people, veterans and serving members of the Armed Forces."
It had been speculated that William was considering continuing to serve in some other capacity within the RAF or the Armed Forces.
One option that was reported was that he would return to London for a posting with his regiment, the Household Cavalry's Blues and Royals, which would allow him to carry out more royal engagements in support of the Queen.
But after careful consideration William decided it was best to call time on his operational military career.
William and Kate, seen as the stellar couple of the royal family, are expected to make at least one high-profile foreign tour next year – with Commonwealth realms Australa and New Zealand widely tipped as the destination.
Although William will "gradually" expand his role, the move will be welcomed by the Foreign Office and the Palace.
The royal couple are hugely popular overseas as well as at home and will be able to operate as super-ambassadors abroad.
William had already said that he wants to be a "hands-on" father and would not take a job that requires him to be away from his young family.
His private office is already established at Kensington Palace, which he intends to make his base for many years.
Since the birth of Prince George, the couple have been living at the relatively small Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace and Kate's parents' 18-acre estate, Bucklebury Manor, where Carole Midlelton has helped them with childcare.
Their new home, Apartment 1a Kensington Palace - formerly the late Princess Margaret's home - has undergone a £1 million taxpayer-funded renovation.
The royal couple will now vacate their farmhouse in Angelsey – their first home together as a couple.Reuse content

40 thousand walruses have hauled out near Ryrkarpy village on Kozhevnikov Cape in the northwest of Russian Chukotka Peninsula . A nature reserve must be created to protect them, says WWF.
For the first time the largest walrus haul-out in the Russian Arctic coast has been registered on Kozhevnikov cape near the village of Ryrkarpy.
"No one expected that protective measures would prove to be successful so quickly", says WWF Bear Patrol Project Coordinator in Chukotka Vladilen Kavry. "Some scientists were skeptical when WWF proposed to create a group to protect the site. The patrol group was organized by a local branch of the Association of indigenous peoples and consisted mostly of women. The police was also involved, as some people tried to take advantage of the situation and hunt for walrus tusks. There were cases when people provoked panic at haul-out sites and cut the tusks of walruses that died in the squeeze. To save walruses, a protected area must be created here urgently".
Walruses also tried to get out on the coast near villages to the west from Ryrkarpy, but local people were not prepared to the situation. They came very close to walruses, took pictures with them and in the end frightened off the animals.
"Because of climate change, nowadays ice almost disappears from the Chukotka and East Siberian seas in summer", says Viktor Nikiforov, WWF-Russia Regional Programmes Director. "Multiyear Arctic ice moves northward, which means that in the coming years new haul-outs will appear on Chukotka Arctic coast. Walruses become exhausted after swimming hundreds of kilometers from pack ice to the coast, without a chance to rest. The sea without ice cover has frequent storms, which may lead to deaths of a large number of young walruses. Our common goal is to help walruses survive in this difficult time".

Read about the Summer Jobs experience from the 2016 BBF students.
A donation of $3,300 can fund a summer job for a student. Join our efforts and make a contribution today. To learn more about hiring a student at your firm, please visit the BBA website here.
Over the past 21 years, the BBA has introduced over 700 young adults to the legal profession. The principal program aim is to help Boston Public school students learn about the law and the legal profession through firsthand, on-the-job experience. A long-term goal is to increase diversity and inclusion in Boston's legal community.
I have learned that law is far more vast than I expected. Lately I've been working with Immigration Law, and that has opened my eyes to the broader aspects of what immigrants, such as my family, have to go through just to stay in this country.

Description: Why do gardens matter so much and mean so much to people? That is the intriguing question to which David Cooper seeks an answer in this book. Given the enthusiasm for gardens in human civilization ancient and modern, Eastern and Western, it is surprising that the question has been so longneglected by modern philosophy. Now at last there is a philosophy of gardens. Not only is this a fascinating subject in its own right, it also provides a reminder that the subject-matter of aesthetics is broader than the fine arts; that ethics is not just about moral issues but about 'the goodlife'; and that environmental philosophy should not focus only on 'wilderness' to the exclusion of the humanly shaped environment. David Cooper identifies garden appreciation as a special human phenomenon distinct from both from the appreciation of art and the appreciation of nature. He explores the importance of various 'garden-practices' and shows how not only gardening itself, but activities to which the garden especiallylends itself, including social and meditative activities, contribute to the good life. And he distinguishes the many kinds of meanings that gardens may have, from representation of nature to emotional expression, from historical significance to symbolization of a spiritual relationship to the world.Building on the familiar observation that, among human beings' creations, the garden is peculiarly dependent on the co-operation of nature, Cooper argues that the garden matters as an epiphany of an intimate co-dependence between human creative activity in the world and the 'mystery' that allowsthere to be a world for them at all. A Philosophy of Gardens will open up this subject to students and scholars of aesthetics, ethics, and cultural and environmental studies, and to anyone with a reflective interest in things horticultural.

- - 5 Non-Title Matches (1 For Each Div.) You'd Like To See (http://www.mmaforum.com/ufc/5728-5-non-title-matches-1-each-div-youd-like-see.html)
5 Non-Title Matches (1 For Each Div.) You'd Like To See
realistic ufc matchups youd like to see and why
for me its
lw div: MELVIN GUILLARD VS. KENNY FLORIAN
because they are both tough and can dominate an aspect of the fight, guillard has yet to prove he can fight someone with great bjj and not get submitted and kenny has yet to prove he can fight someone with explosive standup and decent wrestling and not get ko'd.
ww division: DIEGO SANCHEZ VS. BJ PENN
This matchup is exiting and would determine if deigo is highly over-rated(like i think) or is a real contender, both exiting fighters, an exiting matchup
mw div: RICH FRANKLIN VS. MIKE SWICK
two talented fighters here, both who's chins are qeustionable but both with exiting well rounded skills and dedication.giving rich frankllin a formidable and exiting fight and mike swick a chance to establish himself.
lhw division: FORREST GRIFFIN VS. RENATO SOBRAL
Forrest has shown he is formidable against wrestlers and submission fighters and babalu has shown he can submit the best. this would be a war,a battle of wills and could go either way
hw div: BRANDON VERA VS. ANDREI ARLOVSKI( hw is so thin i have to go with a possible title fight)
Both well rounded, both very talented. Arlovski with his explosive powerfull punches and vera with his deadly knee's, kicks and striking makes for a very very exiting hw matchup.
do you guys agree, what matchups would you like to see happen in the ufc.
ive seen some poor match making in the ufc sometimes, they should go by what the fans want more.
Holy shit, I agree with you on every fight. I really want to see some of the fights in 2007 and most of them could be potential number 1 contenders matches.
Nice setup, I'd love to see all of those fights myself as well. Especially Forrest Griffin vs. Renato Sobral.
I think Forrest is definitely a rising star and went the distance with Tito Ortiz just barely losing by a decision, some even felt he won that decision. Great fighter and not arrogant, hes even basically admitted hes not able to take Chuck yet. I'm sure most of you have seen that interview. I think if he defeated Renato Sobral it would really put him over as one of the top fighters in the LHW division. Well actually, after his fight with Tito hes already considered by some as one of the top fighters.
I'd also like to see Forrest Griffin vs. Jeremy horn. OR Tito Ortiz vs. Jeremy Horn.
Brandon Vera vs. Andrei Arlovski would be a great fight like you said, I think Vera is to young in his career to get a heavyweight title shot against Tim Sylvia, he should at least have to prove himself against the former champion Andrei Arlovski first, not against a "not so good anymore" Frank Mir.
The best one I see out of Jaw's picks is AA vs. Vera. Thats a badass pick. Hard to make a prediction on that one
LW - Jens Pulver vs BJ Penn
WW - Robbie Lawler vs GSP (gotta love lawler)
MW - Anderson Silva vs Mike Swick
LH - Chuck Liddell vs Brendon Vera
HW - Andre Arlovski vs Aleksander Emelianenko (when UFC signs him :))
id also like to see melvin fight spencer fisher
LW: BJ Penn vs. Spencer Fisher
WW: Deigo Sanchez vs. Matt Hughes
MW: Rich Franklin vs. Mike Swick
LHW: Tito Ortiz vs. Renato Sobral
HW: Brandon Vera vs. Andrei Arlovski
"Robbie Lawler vs GSP"
i hate lawler too but damn man have a heart.
st. peirre would run a chain of clinics on him

Posted by Glenn O'Donnell on September 14, 2011
On 22-Nov-2010, Attachmate Corporation announced it was acquiring the assets of Novell, Inc. Once on top of the IT world, Novell's glory had clearly faded. Along the way, however, it acquired several attractive assets of its own (e.g., PlateSpin, Managed Objects). Towards the end of its independence, the future certainly looked bleak for Novell and especially its management software businesses.
The immediate reaction to the Attachmate acquisition was skepticism among most industry watchers, including yours truly. My reaction was similar when Attachmate acquired NetIQ. After all, what rationale is there to a legacy mainframe software company buying either NetIQ or Novell? The perception was that all of these product families would be milked for their maintenance revenue and innovation, and other development would be killed. It now appears these fears were largely unfounded, though I stand by my original skepticism. Veterans like me have seen such things unravel before.
The various Novell assets have been redistributed across four companies in the Attachmate Group, with the management assets being assimilated under the NetIQ brand. While a full merger of the NetIQ and Novell assets will take at least a year, the (now) NetIQ team has moved with impressive speed to launch its initial consolidated families.

Plotting Partial Differential Equations
I've the following result from NDSolve for PDE T[x,y]:
{{T -> InterpolatingFunction[{{0., 2000.}, {0.0001, 0.025}}, <>]}}
I would like to know what's the most efficient way to plot this data as a

TeamViewer 5
REVIEW DATE : August 25, 2010
PROS: Simple setup. Fast display. All functionality in free version. Cross-platform: Windows, Mac and Linux versions. Video and audio conferencing. Whiteboard. Records remote control sessions. Ad hoc VPN creation.
TeamViewer 5 is a relatively new player in the remote control game but one that brings a lot of new tools and innovations. The software and service gives non-commercial users nearly everything for free—desktop sharing, file transfer, chat, and more—but goes beyond this with VoIP and webcam viewing capabilities. In addition to these advanced perks, TeamViewer is the easiest remote control software to set up and use, making it our top pick for remote-control software.
Popularity and Pricing
Incredibly Easy Setup
This start screen also presents a couple other options: You can set the PC up for hands-free, any-time remote access or set up a partner list. This gives you quick access to frequently controlled machines in a contact list, and it also lets you see partners' online status and communicate with them via private instant messaging windows. You can quickly start viewing and controlling partners' machines either from the Web browser or application interface. When you close TeamViewer, your password for that session is tossed, unless you've set up a permanent one.
Remote Controlling Another Computer
Giving Presentations with TeamViewer
But wait, there's more! TeamViewer 5 also lets you record remote control sessions. When I did this, it saved the session as a ".tvs" file, which I could play back in the TeamViewer app. A 34-second screen recording weighed in at half a megabyte, so make sure you can handle the disk space requirements; still a rate of a megabyte per minute is pretty slender when you compare it with video file sizes. You can even set TeamViewer to record all sessions automatically.
File Sharing, VPN, and OS Compatibility
Beyond simple file transfer, TeamViewer offers an on-the-fly VPN service. This requires installing adapter software, which you're prompted to do the first time you choose to start a VPN connection. Once you get this set up, you get access to the remote PC's shared network files and printers. The need for VPN setup in order to print from the remote to local computer or vice versa is less convenient than LogMeIn Pro2's remote-to-local printing option.
Not only does TeamViewer offer Mac and Linux versions (though these lack a couple of the spiffier features of the Windows version like videoconferencing and VPN), but there are also iPhone and iPad apps—also free! I tried the iPhone app, and it worked a bit differently from (and better than) LogMeIn's equivalent as you can move the mouse and the screen with TeamViewer. I had screen resolution choices of small, medium, and native, but pinch-and-zoom got me to a workable size. It also let me reboot the remote computer and disable remote input.
Should TeamViewer 5 Be Part of Your Team?

As everyone knows, cranberry sauce is the most important part of Thanksgiving dinner, right? And it must be the same kind we always have, right? But that's different for every family. First, my favorite recipe for cranberry relish, which thankfully is FODMAP-friendly. The ingredients are all ready to go!
Cranberry Orange Relish
2 cups raw cranberries
1 small, organic naval orange
1 cup demerara sugar
Rinse the cranberries and scrub the orange. Cut the orange into quarters, but don't peel it. Grind fruits together in food processor or blender, until somewhat uniform. Should still be chunky. Stir in sugar. Transfer to glass jar, cover and chill for two days before serving. Makes twelve servings, about 2 Tb. each.
I've pulled together a few product ideas for you. None of the actual products shown have been analyzed in the FODMAP lab, but they have no high FODMAP ingredients. Each brand has both a jelly and a whole cranberry version. Enjoy!

No. 12 Georgia Women's Tennis Beats No. 9 Clemson 5-2
Feb. 12, 2011
CLEMSON, S.C.--The No. 12 Georgia women's tennis team notched their first road win and handed No. 9 Clemson its first loss of the season with a 5-2 win at the Clemson Indoor Tennis Center.
The win moves the Bulldogs to 4-1 this season, and drops the Tigers to 8-1.
The Bulldogs got off to a quick start by sweeping the doubles point.
The freshman duo of Lilly Kimbell and Maho Kowase started things off with an 8-3 win over Clemson's Maria Belaya and Nelly Ciolkowski at No.2. The win for Kimbell and Kowase was their 10th of the season. Georgia clinched the doubles point at No. 3 when the 40th-ranked team of Alex Anghelescu and Cameron Ellis beat Clemson's Laurianne Henry and Klara Vyskocilova, 8-2. It was the pair's seventh straight win and also their 10th of the season. The Bulldog duo of Kate Fuller and Chelsey Gullickson swept the doubles point by upsetting the 2nd-ranked team of Josipa Bek and Keri Wong, 8-6.
"Chelsey and Kate are a new team for us and have played well this season, but this is really their first huge win," said head coach Jeff Wallace. "It was great to see how they came out and competed for us today."
In singles, Vyskocilova of Clemson beat Anghelescu 6-2, 1-6, 6-3 at No. 4 to tie the match score at one. At No. 3, 67th-ranked Gilchrist put the Dogs back on top with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 win over Clemson's Ciolkowski. With the win, Gilchrist extends her match-winning streak to five. Shortly after at No. 1, Clemson's 12th-ranked Bek overcame losing a tight first set to comeback and beat Gullickson 5-7, 6-2, 6-1. The loss was Gullickson's first to a ranked opponent this season, and drops her to 5-2. At No. 2, 97th-ranked Kowase notched her 20th win of the season by defeating the Tigers' 48th-ranked Wong 7-5, 6-7 (5), 6-2. With the win, Kowase is 4-2 against ranked opponents this season and has won two in a row. Georgia clinched their fourth win of the season at No. 6 when 95th-ranked Kimbell defeated Henry, 6-3, 6-2. It was Kimbell's first match clincher as a Bulldog. Georgia's Cameron Ellis capped things off with a 6-3, 4-6, 1-0 (10-6) win against Belaya. With the win, Ellis improves to 17-4 this season.
"This was a great win for us today," said head coach Jeff Wallace. "We came out and really played fantastic in doubles setting the tone early, and then after Clemson started to have success early in singles and regained some momentum, we did a really good job of coming back and finishing strong."
Georgia improves to 22-19 in its series with Clemson. Today's match marks the first time in the last six meetings with Clemson that the team which won the doubles point also won the match. The Georgia women's tennis team will return to action on the road against Auburn on March 4th at 3:30 p.m. It will be the team's first SEC match of the season.

- //J.b. Hutto
J.B. Hutto emerged from the then pregnant obscurity of South Side Chicago bars in 1966, with a few titles on Vanguard's Chicago/The Blues/Today! set, which marked a major achievement in being a general or "Arts" or major label's production of a more or less contemporary product. Too often before then, non-specialist productions tended to be lacking in something, fire or force, or rather padded out like studio pop records. Hutto's working trio of the time, which can be heard again here in recordings not previously issued, was something of a revelation to people who'd hardly—if at all—heard his name. The few who'd heard only the half-dozen titles on Vanguard were amazed to hear much the same on the few small label singles Hutto had recorded some 15 years before.
From Georgia, Hutto came as barely a teenager to Chicago with his parents, and during his adolescence there he picked up the guitar and developed an affection for the music of Elmore James. When Johnny Littlejohn appeared on disc a little later from even deeper obscurity, he was billed as the reincarnation of James, and reviewers of the posthumous reissue of his debut (on Arhoolie) wondered about the instrumentation of his band. Well, the guys with those instruments were around when music was wanted in a club or bar. In Kilkenny it might have been fiddles, but in Chicago it was something else (in two senses of that phrase).
J.b. Hutto
Stompin' at Mother Blues
US: 14 Dec 2004
UK: Available as import
The three men on Vanguard and on the bulk of the present set were simply the working group at a South Side bar Bob Koester reminisces about tellingly in the notes to the present set. They were absolute specialists who might not have been able to play much else but were a miracle in their own repertoire. Beside Hutto singing and playing mostly slide guitar (electric, as his performance was in another, different sense), Herman Hassell was a tight bass guitarist very memorable on Vanguard as here (if not quite the musician Floyd Jones showed himself to be, playing bass guitar in another group on Vanguard), and Frank Kirkland was a powerful drummer who held everything tight. I have in a sense been waiting for this set for years, and am delighted to discover it exists.
Like Littlejohn, and like Hound Dog Taylor (whom Bob Koester remembers jamming with Hutto long ago), Hutto was one of the "Elmore James imitators". It was all done by ear, playing in a fashion roughly similar to James but with more musical objectives than performance duplicators have. (The deadness is in the detail, which is too liable to counteract priorities of musical expression). Anyway Hutto presumably started trying before he had the guitar technique necessary to parrot James mechanically. His Jamesian style (I certainly don't mean Henry James!) got built up from the ground and in the absence of such instrumental support as Elmore James had the simpler instrumentation had to achieve more.
Listening to "Hawk's Rock" (which is probably mispunctuated, since the band was billed as J.B. Hutto and His Hawks), one of the most talented and versatile and venerable neo-Jamesians comes to mind, Homesick James (whose name might be William James Henderson). Homesick is maybe 90 or 95 or even 100 years old in 2005, and in taking up Elmore's simplified version of Robert Johnson on electric guitar he retained an amazing timing and phrasing which had something of the country fiddler about it. (His range was greater than Elmore's and solo he has sounded more like Robert Johnson.)
There's an engaging skirl, everything seems to bend—including time—in the way Homesick swings. Probably that has something to do with his early background and Georgia connections. Until "Hawk's Rock" I'd never associated the same sort of thing, even to a lesser degree, with Hutto. Kirkland's drums maintain a fierce backbeat, but there are elements of hoedown in the guitar. "Hip Shakin'" maybe brings to mind Little Richard, but Hutto could rock hard. He doesn't go in for screaming vocals, or indeed impeccably clear diction. Miraculously, Vanguard managed to mike his voice clearly. The 1966 set recorded here, using an empty blues club for studio, achieves no such miracles, but diction's far from everything. It's not so hard for anybody to learn—which can't be said of Hutto's way of playing. It was, perhaps, as Bob Koester supposed, a little strong for many buyers at the time. He boosted Hutto more than well enough with other recordings.
"Married Woman Blues" has more of the unusual harmonies on guitar, unorthodox in the way Hutto learned it, harmonically complex when listened to from a schooled perspective, plain wrong to the drilled and narrow mind, and plain marvellous. Listen to the thrumming, rumbling, and growl of Hassell's bass guitar. "Sorry" is notable for a slow drag people don't try for now, and the whole of the early set represented on this disc is a reminder of enormous attainments in straitened circumstances. Why did it take English enthusiasts to break the ice round so many American hearts?
Filling out this CD is material, including alternative takes, from a subsequent session by a different band. It's something of a louder, electrified, urbanized string band date, a musical descendant of what ole Carl Martin and company could still do in Chicago at the same time. Lee Jackson for the most part provides strummed accompaniment on guitar, Elbert Buckner's a fleet electric bassist, and there's a move into the more four-square rhythm which came into blues with B.B. King. Whereas in the trio session Hutto drove things along with his voice too, keeping to a strict tempo, here he has more room for timing, indeed diction, and relaxation. He doesn't need to keep so much pressure up as in the trio. The 45 second snippet of studio chatter and tuning up is fascinating and doesn't break the musical spell. The unissued take of "Precious Stone" (another take is on another Delmark CD of Hutto) has more of a guitar duet with Jackson. "Dandruff", hitherto unissued, seems to be modelled on Buddy Guy band masterpieces of the time. The easier tempo draws Hutto into trying to fit as many words into a line as he possibly can, and the choked thrill of his voice is there again. "Guilty Heart", also unissued till now, gets something of the Chess band sound, digging in and driving where Muddy Waters swung, and winding up more like a Howlin' Wolf performance.
Bob Koester concludes his top-grade liner note by likening the current work of Hutto's nephew Little Ed to J.B. himself. I don't know Ed; he'd have to be good to match that uncle who, while ravaged by cancer, was still up to this high standard on a 1982 date. He was only 57 when he died the following year, a successful professional who in 1966 played for five bucks a night and went home to the far suburbs on public transport.

There is no problems! I totally agree with you to create a mando association, but I was just throwing an idea in order to promote Mandalorian culture and custom mandos over the world. Some movies, or musical comedies, have changed mental attitudes. If this is the time to rise, so we must act, and don't stay sitting on a chair, waiting after the "3 Canon sources" necessary for the 501st.
Treat others as you would like to be treated. Respect fellow members and their opinions. Respect must be extended to each and every member, the administrative staff included. Be polite and courteous to others and keep your messages in good taste.Disagreements are bound to happen. Approach them in a civil manner, with respect to the other person's point of view.Should you feel someone has crossed the line and is being disrespectful to you, contact a member of the administrative staff and allow them to handle the situation.If a member's family, gender, race, national origin, etc. is maliciously involved in an argument, the offending member will face an immediate ban. On a final note, respect for the opposite sex must be shown at all times.
Guys, Dha Syntir has some good ideas. If you don't like them, that's ok. There is no need to moch him.
One thing I do want to clarify that was brought up twice in this thread. TDH is not a costuming club, we did not take the place of Phoenix squadron nor are we the Mandalorian or Bounty Hunter detatchement of the 501st. We are not a part of the 501st. We are a resource for people wanting to make Boba, Jango, Zam, and Dented Variant costumes, but we are not a club or a costuming organization like the 501st or the Rebel Legion.
I think that since this is a topic that is geared towards the Dented Variants, I'm going to go ahead and move this thread there.
I've talked to Ceeric, one guy who's been working this idea as well, and part of it would be custom Clone troopers since they are mando'ade. It would be custom legion, but you can also have cannon stuff. I think it would be fun. so what if some people don't recognize it, WHO CARES?! I go to parties for fun, and wearing some armor is fun. The TDH is great for working on making up a good costume, but like Mirax said, this isn't a club like the 501st. We could use this group to get together and help with each other's armor, go paintballing, having airsoft battles, and going to conventions. The 501st does events with the Rebel Legion all the time, and there are alot of other costuming groups out there as well, so why not? It's for fun after all!
I think seeing a group of 10 or more at someplace like DC would be cool.
any progress on starting a mando legion???i am highly interested in joing much like many of the fine costume builders within these hallowed forums. i would like to see some kind of organization arise for us much like the 501st, like many have stated customs are growing in number and popularity so some form of unity would really be very helpfull and gratifying for some of the builders. also are there any builders within saginaw, bay city or midland michingan here or some where close because it gets very lonely up here in the snow lol
Well I think that the resistance to the Mandalorian Super Commando's might have made some folks not want to walk into a tense conversation. I made the mistake of not posting the thread here rather than in the Sarlaac's den. I'm betting it would have been better received here, but who knows...We've been talking about getting the MSC up and running at the Heroes, Villains, and Mandalorians forum as well as here. I can get you a link if you'd like-just PM me with your request and I'll get you the url...I'd also like to have about 10 customs at the DC convention(which I was unaware of) like Asok suggested. It'd be super cool to have one of our groups Jango, Boba, or even Jaster led in by an "honor guard" of Super Commandos escorting him into and around the convention...It'd also be cool to choreograph "Dha Werda Verda" and perform it at a future convention. Wouldn't that just be incredibly awesome? It'd certainly make my decade!
What I'd like to ask of those of you interested in joining, please start helping us kick around ideas for the group. If you have any skills that would be useful to the MSC's in any way, please let us know...Since it's pretty much just a handful of people, we can use all the help we can get...Thanks!
Happy Holidays!
You are all welcome to stop by Mando'ade (Man-do-ah-day)
Last edited by Commander Glover; Dec 21, 2006 at 3:32 AM.
That area is just a discussion area where the two or three Command Staff for the group discuss basic costume reqs. Nothing top secret in there.
It might even be cool to choreograph our entrance to the main area of the convention, one with several exits no doubt. If we could clear it with the promoters first of course. Anyway, we come in pairs trailing behind a Boba or Jango who at a certain point gives silent hand signals and a pair will fan out to flank a certain entrance, keeping this up until Boba reaches a certain area with a pair remaining with Boba/Jango to watch his back and yada,yada,yada...It was just a random thought, but perhaps we could work something out along those lines one of these days...Oh, and I just registered over at Mando'ade. Hopefully I'll be able to check out the board later this evening when I get the chance...
Happy Holidays!
Well, at least don't forget Jaster. I've noticed that even Jango at conventions gets called Boba every so often, I used to be a jango and witnessed it first hand. Now, as someone who is working on a Jaster costume, I'm more of a fan of EU Mandalorians who have been pictured in comics or who have had their costume described in some detail in the books. I'm not bashing the customs but, it would be nice to see more variety other than repainted Jango and Boba costumes with everyone dented in the same place or the Mythosaur Skull spattered all over the armor. I love it when I see a costume that has had some real thought in it, such as a few of the Jodo Kasts that I have seen around the boards with every detail true to the comic book pictures. Keep up the great work everyone and take pride in your creativity, just know what the symbols you are using mean and have an explanation for them.
ok guys i love the variants and diffrent Mandos... yea most people don;t know what a Mando is, i gota say "Fett, yea he's a mando" then they get it....
but we gota start change the armor then. more then placement but like the general outlook. i divided the chest plate and made my own. I put templates up for Kade armor, take it and keep moddoing it. I think people see the armor not the colors and they go "o its boba, but diffrent".
well thats my 2 cents at least. i say we start change up the armor!
o yea, i;m in So Cal. any other varients around me?
I'd love to go to DC, but I don't my parents will let me go out of state, even for C4 Of course, unless they wanted to come along. They're fun people, albeit a bit weird, but fun nontheless
I'm working on getting some armor up and running, but I need to get my prop business up and running (more info in a couple months, you gonna love it!) to fund it. Syntir, I'd love to join and heko out as much as possible, and I've already been talking (albeit with only a couple PM's at CT.N) with Ceeric.
and you gonna ne PMed here in a moment about that link
PM sent back your way...
Oh, I forgot to request: sorry for my lack of mando culture, I'm quite new. Does "Dha Werda Verda" already exists? If yes, so what are the theme/words?
Da Werda Verda - The Shadow Warriors
Go to the link above and you can even download the mp3s.
Ya, but what about the steps? or is it just random. I've read the books, and I'm rereading them, but I'm not sure if it's a set pattern of foot work and movements or it's just random and going to the beat, and being careful to avoid being hit, ect, ect, ect
As far as I know, no one has of yet tried to choreograph Dha Werda Verda and I know no more than what we've read in Triple Zero. We do have the words/lyrics, and the basic motions and intonation from the books as well. So we would have to make up some of the motions here and there. I think fiberglass chest armor would be appropriate as anything else would end dented and/or broken on the trash heap. I even think Karen Traviss would even be helpful with tips and questions once we explain what our thoughts are. She seems to be very attentive about communicating with fans on her message boards-I was surprised she answered my post even though it was my first time there...I guess the main question you must ask yourself if you want to be one of the few performing Dha Werda Verda is: Do you have rhythm? If you don't you're going to be bashing your buddies in the jaw, ending in the accidental bash upside your head or out and out retaliation ending in your having a split lip and a black eye in return to match those unfortunate Mandalorians on either side of you... It may very well be a challenge, but I hope I don't hear that it'd be impossible until it's at least been attempted once...
Happy Holidays!

Telemiracle is a tradition among many in Saskatoon, but for one family, the connection has spanned generations.
Lacey Hickson's family took to the stage today to present a $425,000 donation courtesy of Hickson's great aunt and uncle.
Hickson said Elmer and Doris Kohlmann spent the better part of their lives as the primary care givers to their daughter, Linda, who was born with cerebral palsy.
"Their life was their farm (near Rabbit Lake) and their daughter," Hickson said, adding her aunt was an avid supporter of Telemiracle for many years.
When Doris, still the primary care giver, passed away in 2011, at the age of 94, the will stipulated the couple's entire estate go to their daughter's care. When Linda passed away in 2013, the remainder of the estate was left to Telemiracle.
"It's completely amazing, absolutely everything," Hickson said.
The Kohlman's donation helped Telemiracle 38 raise $5,285,744.
Hickson herself has a personal connection to Telemiracle as well. When her youngest daughter Kendall was born four years ago, she was diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital heart defect. At 13-weeks old, Kendall had to undergo surgery in Edmonton.
The family's cardiologist suggested they apply for Telemiracle funding so they could stay close to their daughter during the surgery and recovery.
"Being away from out daughter was hard but to have the money be an issue too would have been really hard," Hickson said.
Since then, Hickson continues to stay involved with Telemiracle, having answered the phones for the past two Saskatoon Telemiracles.
"My auntie Dories love that fact that Kendall received funding. She'd been giving for years to Telemiracle and they'd planned this in their will to leave their estate to Telemiracle so when someone from our family got to benefit from it, it was a huge deal to her," Hickson said.
"It's not only a great story for our family but I also think it's a testament to what Telemiracle does."

Africans face uncertain Israeli future after perilous migration
By Allyn Fisher-Ilan
TEL AVIV, Israel (Reuters) - Angesom Solomon had to dodge bullets and tear his way through barbed-wire fencing to get into Israel across its testy border with Egypt after a two-month trek from his native Eritrea.
Six years on, he is married, a father and holds a coveted menial job in Tel Aviv. But a sense of security still eludes him, as one of 60,000 African migrants living in Israel who face indefinite jail time under a law parliament passed this month.
Solomon, 28, got a rare work permit that allows him to earn 6,000 shekels ($1,500) a month as a school custodian. It is due to expire next month and may not be renewed - a situation he fears would expose him to police round-ups as an illegal worker.
"I wanted to change my life (but) in Israel I am also afraid," said Solomon, who absconded army conscription in Eritrea in 2007 to make the two-month trip via war-ravaged Sudan and then Egypt.
In Egypt's Sinai desert, he hid for two days while Egyptian troops fired at other African migrants, then successfully dashed into Israel.
At the time, he was briefly detained by the Israelis and then released to Tel Aviv, the coastal metropolis in whose lower-income south many Africans have carved out a tenement network including clinics, cafes and churches.
Israel's right-wing government has cracked down on the migrant influx, however, seeing a threat to public order. It fortified the Egyptian border fence and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to deport migrants in Israel.

text: SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) today announced it has signed a 10-year lease on additional space at Bishop Ranch in San Ramon, Calif., adjacent to 6121 Bollinger Canyon Road, which the company acquired in March 2012 to build a state-of-the-art gas control center. The new facility, 6111 Bollinger Canyon Road, will now accommodate approximately 700 staff from gas operations and electric transmission operations in more than 145,000 square feet. The expansion of PG&E's footprint at Bishop Ranch further reinforces its continuous improvement effort to ensure public and staff safety and improve reliability and operational performance. By bringing teams together that have typically been dispersed across the Bay Area, PG&E will increase collaboration and coordination across its gas operations and electric transmission operations – a significant development that will further improve the safety and reliability of its operations and 24/7 monitoring of its systems. The new building is five stories, of which PG&E staff will occupy two full floors and a partial third floor, with other third-party corporate tenants occupying the remainder of the space. Approximately 260 electric transmission operations staff from Oakland, Concord and San Francisco and 450 gas staff will occupy the second, third and fourth floors. Those relocating to 6111 Bollinger Canyon Road are scheduled to move mid-2013. PG&E conducts regular evaluations of its facilities to determine if they are well-suited to ensure the safe, reliable operations of the electric system both now and in the future. As part of these evaluations, PG&E determined that its electric transmissions operations would be enhanced by relocating from the aging building at 1919 Webster in Oakland to a more modern and larger office. The new facility at 6111 Bollinger Canyon Road is designed with large floor plans allowing PG&E to house Electric Transmission Line & Substation Engineering and Design, System Protection, System Automation, Project Management & Asset Strategy functions on one contiguous floor under the same roof. The company already has a significant footprint in San Ramon including 3401 Crow Canyon, San Ramon Valley Conference Center, and San Ramon Technology Center. The new facility is in addition to the 250,000 square foot space that PG&E leased at 6121 Bollinger Canyon Road in the Bishop Ranch business community. About 1,000 people could occupy that location by year's end, which is set to include the state-of-the-art gas control center, expected to be complete by mid-2013. The center will be responsible for monitoring PG&E's vast network of gas distribution and transmission pipelines 24 hours a day. The facilities at Bishop Ranch are well-designed and constructed using the latest building codes to help facilitate safe operations in the event of seismic activity. This was a major consideration, as the building will house PG&E staff, records and engineering plans that are critical to the safe operation of its gas operations and electric transmission systems.

Opportunities, Events and Festivals
During CineLink Work-in-Progress, around five films in post-production are presented, in a two-day event, to selected international sales agents, festival representatives, distributors and post-production companies. Work-in-Progress aims to facilitate the completion, subsequent festival presentation and theatrical release of the selected films.
In 2009, CineLink Work-in-Progress, in collaboration with Berlin-based post-production facility The Post Republic, introduced an award for the project with the highest artistically value and potential for international circulation. The award, decided by an international jury, consists of in-kind post-production services amounting to 80.000 EUR from The Post Republic.
The first film to win this award was Romanian director Florin Şerban's If I want to whistle, I whistle, subsequently awarded the Silver Bear and the Alfred Bauer Prize at the Berlinale 2010.
CineLink Work-in-Progress is open for film projects from the following countries: Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Kosovo, Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Turkey. After the pilot period of last editions, projects from Northern African and Middle Eastern countries bordering the Mediterranean See, and the Caucasus Region are also eligible.
One additional project, a documentary from the Rough Cut Boutique, a workshop organized by the Festival's Documentary Competition Program in collaboration with the Balkan Documentary Center, was announced during the festival.
The growing attendance of a professional audience and the proven success of the selected film also underline the importance of Work in Progress.

Expect a breezy day, though winds will not be as strong as on Thursday. Models are in decent agreement with boundary layer winds on Friday around 25 knots and mixed layer to around 700-750mb. Winds at top of mixed layer also are lower today, 30-35 knots. For tonight, will continue to carry low pops mainly across the northeast as the second upper low, currently over Saskatchewan, clips the eastern part of the state overnight. Otherwise, another cool night expected with lows only in the 40s, and even some upper 30s across the southwest. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 320 AM CDT Fri Jun 23 2017 Continued cool on Saturday with somewhat lighter winds, but still breezy. Upper level northwest flow continues with surface high drifting across the Dakotas later on Saturday and Sunday. Will continue to carry low pops across the northeast Saturday and Sunday. Otherwise, highs will only be in the mid 60s Saturday and slightly warmer, near 70 on Sunday. Cool nights will also continue with lows in the 40s. By Monday we begin to see a pattern change with upper level flow flattening somewhat as upper trough pushes eastward and upper level ridge begins to nudge closer to our region from the west. Some differences begin to develop between global model height fields, but potential exists for measurable precip by Tuesday. Highs increase back to the 80s by Tuesday, possible into the 90s if the GFS were to verify. Return flow by Tuesday increases low level moisture return and instability with GFS sounding for KBIS giving MLCAPE of 2800 J/KG, based on 95F high temp, however. ECMWF is more conservative, around 1000 J/KG of CAPE. Timing of frontal passage will be critical, with models hinting at most activity across the eastern half of the state. Obviously, much uncertainty for this time period, but the potential for better coverage of showers and thunderstorms exists. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday morning) Issued at 638 AM CDT Fri Jun 23 2017 Mvfr/low vfr cigs will improve to sct vfr by 17z Friday.
