Cracks rapidly surface in Valley community; neighbors warn signs of sinkholes
BERMUDA DUNES, Calif. - Jerry Sims says 45 days is all it took for more than eight cracks to break ground on Saint Annes Bay Drive in Bermuda Dunes.
"In 45 days it's just gradually gotten bigger and bigger. We didn't have these cracks before. They're virtually in every lot," said Sims.
What started as a hairline crack in the road, which was repaved 10 years ago, crept into his driveway.
"A year ago it was all compacted. Now this crack in the street is lined up with the driveway. My concern is how long until it gets into the foundation," said Sims.
Jerry's wife LuAnn has her own theory for what's beneath the mysterious cracks but fears they will create a homeowner's nightmare.
"We like our neighborhood and our street, but I don't want to come home one day and find my driveway in a sinkhole or anyone else's," she added.
Sims believes a possible leak in the water main below could be the cause.
General manager Mark Meeler of the Myoma Dunes Water Company, which services neighborhoods in Bermuda Dunes, said leaking water is "100 percent" not the issue.
"I would ask the county. They have asphalt experts who can discern whether it's a shrinkage of asphalt. But I don't see it as a water issue," said Meeler.
Sims says "If he's 100 percent sure, that's pretty bold without checking."
We called Riverside County Supervisor John Benoit about the issue, but his office is closed on Fridays.
Sims says he tried calling several times before. He hopes the county will step in and find out why the cracks are rapidly surfacing.

DES MOINES - The world is focusing on Iowa today.
This state of 3 million people could make or break the lifelong hopes of contenders and the prayers of their supporters, and in the end, it could propel a candidate to the White House while dooming others to has-been status.
Tonight, a small percentage of Iowans will meet at their local high schools, firehouses and city halls to officially choose a presidential candidate in the first step toward narrowing the field of Republican and Democratic contenders.
Polls show a neck-and-neck race in Iowa on the Republican side between two former governors, Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney, and an even tighter race between Democratic Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and former Sen. John Edwards.
After raising and spending millions of dollars, and countless speeches and commercials, the wide-open race for the presidency starts its final stride tonight.
"The point is, this is the first real vote, as opposed to opinion polls," says Alan LichtÂman, a political historian at American University in Washington.
While it may not be perfect, the results of the Iowa caucuses are seen as the first gauge of electability, he says, though candidates have lost the contest and still won the presidency. In fact, just two - George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter - won Iowa and went on to occupy the Oval Office.
Candidates, though, have staked a lot on winning the caucuses - really more of a beauty contest because the victor doesn't leave with any actual delegates. And a win here could mean momentum, an increased money flow and possibly the cover of Time and Newsweek.
Some contenders need a strong showing in Iowa to avoid going bust, such as Huckabee on the GOP side and Edwards on the Democratic side, while others have built up enough campaign structure in other states to finish back and still be formidable going forward.
"If John Edwards is going to stay in, he's going to have to do well in Iowa," says University of Iowa political scientist Bruce Grondeck.
"He's been able to use personal appeal [to compete in Iowa, but] he's going to have to do more than that to win in the other states."
As for Huckabee, Grondeck says the ordained Southern Baptist minister is doing well in Iowa and South Carolina, two states with large evangelical voter blocs. But, Grondeck says, "If he doesn't win Iowa, that will blunt South Carolina. Romney doesn't have to do as well because he's got a lot of money."
But with Iowa being the first test of the presidential race, the students taking this exam are tired of cramming and are excited to whip out their No. 2 pencils and begin.
On the ground: It's just before 9 a.m. on Tuesday, and Mary Hermann's home is jammed with video cameras, reporters wielding notebooks, neighbors donning stickers and stoic security officers.
The Hermann family football-watching party has turned into a national news spectacle because of an important guest dropping by.
Romney's campaign has arranged for a quick visit by the candidate in hopes of making him seem more human and less plastic, as critics have charged.
"Not in my wildest dreams would I have guessed on New Year's Day I would have Mitt Romney in my home, but I'm just honored," she says, standing among a dozen people crowded into her kitchen. "It's a privilege to have my friends and family here to hear him speak."
That's part of the personal touch of the Iowa caucuses. While the rest of the nation may be seeing candidates on their TV screens, Iowans see them in their coffee shops, diners, pubs and churches.
The old joke goes that when asked for whom they will vote, Iowans often say, "I don't know. I've only met the candidates a couple times."
It hasn't always been that way.
Before 1972, the Iowa caucuses went unnoticed on the national stage. Few candidates spent any time on the stump in the mostly rural state. But then the raucous 1968 Democratic Convention - where delegates chosen mainly by party bosses caused a backlash - prompted some to reconsider the process by which nominees were picked.
In 1972, candidates started to pay attention to Iowa because it happened to have the first contest of the year.
Republican candidates later followed suit, and the path to the American presidency soon started in the cornfields of the Hawkeye State.
Presidential contenders now set up shop in Des Moines or nearby, hire field operatives, saturate the airwaves and make it a goal to meet as many of the voters here as possible.
Iowan Chad Ziesman has met five presidential candidates and is now deciding between Huckabee, Romney and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson before he goes to his caucus meeting in Urbandale.
He says Iowa is important in the process because voters here take the job of selecting candidates very seriously.
In fact, it is amazing to see hundreds of people gathered at a local coffee shop early Sunday morning to hear candidates rattle off a list of their goals.
"We take the time to attend these things, we want to make the right decisions," says Ziesman, who manages retirement accounts. Candidates "give the time due, and [voters] give the time back and do research and figure out what they want to do with their vote."
Game time: Republicans will hit their caucus meetings at 5:30 Mountain Standard Time tonight, and it shouldn't be long before returns start rolling in. On the GOP side, caucusgoers will hear pitches from candidates or their representatives and then write their choice down in a secret ballot or vote with a show of hands.
Democrats, meanwhile, use a different system. Caucusgoers essentially gather together based on the candidate they are supporting.
But if a contender doesn't garner more than 15 percent of attendees, those people must go for their second choice. After a few rounds of balloting, candidates receive a proportion of the precinct vote.
Some candidates already are making deals to boost their numbers. Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich, for example, is unlikely to get more than the 15 percent threshold at many caucuses, so he has told his backers to unite behind Obama, giving him an edge over the other front-runners.
Tonight's caucuses will mark the beginning of the end of the most expensive, longest-running presidential campaign in American history, and help choose a successor to President Bush.
The caucuses
What is a caucus?
A party meeting at the precinct level at which voters express their candidate preferences and pick delegates to their county conventions. It's the lowest level of party politics - the real grass roots. These meetings, held in each of the state's nearly 1,800 precincts, typically draw anywhere from a handful of people in rural areas to hundreds in suburban areas.
Why is it politically significant?
Persuading a group of average residents to show up in support of a candidate is considered a sign of organizational strength. Each candidate courts politicians and activists at the state and local level in hopes of getting strong numbers of supporters to show up. At the same time, the caucus system allows candidates to develop and hone their message.

I really like the Sheetmetal functionality in SolidWorks. I like that it's fairly intuitive and does a nice job of creating your part. There is one aspect of it, however, that many people seem to miss. That would be the unfold/fold commands. When you have a part that's been bent, and you need to cut some holes in it, this is the way you want to go, especially if you're putting a hole in that straddles one of the bends. How do you use it? Simple. From your sheetmetal toolbar, select the 'Unfold' button. At this point, you'll need to select a fixed face. You'll then be prompted to select your bends. Generally, I simply 'select all'. Hit the check mark and your part will unfold. One thing to note is that your 'Flatten' feature is still surpressed. You can now insert your cuts. Once done, select the 'Fold' button, the fixed face from before and the bend(s) you used. Voila! Your holes are done. Why not just use the 'Flatten' feature? Because the cuts you put in would be surpressed in the "unflattened" state. I know, from experience, that this can be rather frustrating.
What an excellent job the NESWUG committee did organizing this event. The conference center they chose was excellent, the vendor turnout was great and, most impressively, was the attendance. 180+ users showed up to learn about SolidWorks.
The conference started with a nice continental breakfast during which Ed Gebo spoke about the day's breakout sessions. He then introduced the guest speaker, none other than Jon Hirschtick. Jon spoke about where SolidWorks came from, where it is and where it's going. His time was limited, but his speech was energizing. Once all the attendees had left for the morning's first session, I got a chance to introduce myself to Jon. How flattered was I that he knew who I was? Jon and I spoke for a while about SolidWorks, I then commented on his absence from Twitter. He pulled out his phone right then and posted, promising to become more active. We spoke, too, about the project I'm working on. He seemed very interested and gave me the name of someone at SolidWorks to talk to with the hope that, together, we'd be able to overcome the hurdles I'm facing.
I was lame and didn't attend any of the breakout sessions. Many I'd already attended in the past, so I took the time to visit with the people from DriveWorks and TactonWorks. I also spent time talking to fellow blogger and presenter, Rob Rodriguez. In talking with some of the attendees, it was apparent that everyone was impressed with the conference and learning.
The time arrived for my presentation and I was a bit nervous. It had been a while since I'd presented. As I walked back to the podium, after getting myself some water, I managed to trip over the power cord to the projector. The mood was set. I went through my presentation and SolidWorks locked up only once. It wasn't a big deal, though. I got the impression that most everyone in attendance had experienced a SolidWorks crash before…
I hope that people left with a bit more knowledge of DriveWorksXpress and COSMOSXpress. Though, admittedly, there's the outside chance that I may have actually caused their IQ's to drop a bit. I guess we'll find out how well I did if NESWUG asks me back next year…
One of my favorite things about having this blog is helping others. Sometimes it's via a review of a partner product or a tip or trick I might post. My favorite way is through the questions I get through email. I love it when a random email shows up in my inbox asking if I can answer a question or two. I consider it a compliment that the individual thinks enough of my knowledge to ask me "how do I…?". I always take the time to answer their questions to the best of my ability. If I don't know the answer off the top of my head, then it becomes a learning experience for me, too. Whether I can answer the question or not, I'll direct the emailer to other, more useful, resources such as the SolidWorks Forum, SolidMentor or eng-tips.com so that they can, hopefully, become part of the larger community. A knowledge seeker today becomes a knowledge sharer tomorrow…
Never hesitate to send me your SolidWorks questions. If I don't know the answer, I'll get it for you. I think the same holds true for any of the SolidWorks bloggers. We all love to help. Well, except, maybe, Matt. He's becoming grumpy in his old age…ok, that's not true. Matt is a kind and giving person. It's Gabi who is becoming grumpy. j/k…
I know I've alluded to the project I'm working on here and there, but I thought I'd talk a little more about it for a couple of reasons. One, I think it's pretty damn cool. Two, though I need to be vague due to confidentiality, I thought some of you might think it's pretty damn cool too.
At last count, the main assembly was at 2200 components. After some retraining of the other designers, and going back into models, the number of bodies has shrunk from ~7200 to ~3000. I should explain here that the group I'm working with are completely new to SolidWorks, except from one other person. My duties include training, managing the upper level assembly, managing PDMWorks, and finding the answers/work-arounds to the hurdles that we face almost daily. Thankfully, my days are far from mundane! (A special thanks to the guys at Quest Integration for putting up with me.)
Best guess is we're about 30% done. When it is completed, I'm figuring somewhere in the neighborhood of 4500 to 5000 components covering an area in excess of 255,000 square feet. Just for kicks, I "weighed" the structure the other day. It was ~8880 tons (17,767,116 lbs) and took up 490,433,621 cu. in.
It's been interesting co-mingling SolidWorks and Revit models, trying to get architectural annotations created in SolidWork and dealing with the old-school nay-sayers. The more I hear that we're not going to be able to get in done, the more driven I am to prove them wrong. We did manage to exceed the capabilities of eDrawings, which is why I implemented PDMWorks. The project managers want to be able to mess around with the upper-level assembly and there's no way I'm about to let all those hours of work go down the drain. I was actually surprised that eDrawings crapped out the way it did. It simply couldn't handle the size of the assembly.
I'm really looking forward to getting the finalized equipment in and beginning the routing process. It's the one area that I'm a bit worried about. I don't know how SolidWorks is going to handle the amount of cables, pipes and HVAC we'll need to do. Good thing I'll be in Concord next week. I plan on bending an ear or two while I'm there…
Stay tuned, I'll be updating more as I can. I'm hoping to get permission to post some non-identifying pictures in the near future.
Next Thursday, yours truly will be presenting at the NEWSUG Conference in Westford, MA. My presentation is going to be on COSMOSXpress and DriveWorksXpress and I figured they'd make a good post as well.
Did you know that they both come in every seat of SolidWorks? Yup, you get a first-pass analysis tool and a bit of KBE software for free! Granted, they're both limited to parts, but, c'mon, what'd you expect? They're free for Pete's sake! They do have a wizard interface to help walk you through their individual setups.
Now, just because they're "limited" to parts doesn't mean you can't use them on assemblies, you just need to finesse them a bit. Now this doesn't mean you're going to be able to necessarily run them on an assembly of an excavator, but perhaps on one of the cylinders.
Take COSMOSXpress for instance. Let's say you have the above mentioned cylinder and you want to run a quick stress analysis on it. How about using the 'Join' command and then running your analysis? Remember, this is a base product, you don't want to be basing your final assembly solely on the data collected from COSMOSXpress.
Then there's DriveWorksXpress. While it is a bit more versatile than COSMOSXpress, it is still limited. This doesn't mean you can't create an easily configurable assembly, it just needs to be on a small scale. You'll still be able to create a new part/assembly/drawing(s) from the original. Throw in an equation here and there and you can squeeze a bit more out.
Both of these Xpress tools are, in my opinion, 'Gateway Drugs'. They're just going to leave you wanting more. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, I'm just saying…
For those of you going to the NESWUG conference next week, I promise my presentation will be a lot more exciting than this post (knock on wood). For those of you not going, talk to your VAR, or just get in there and try them out.
I've been trying to write this post for a week now. It seems like everytime I sit down to start it, something pulls me away. Hopefully, I'll get through it this time.
My name is Jeff Mirisola and I'm a SolidWorks addict. I've been using SolidWorks for 10 years now and can't get enough of it. I know that the first step to recovery is admitting your addiction, but that's as far as I'll go with it. I don't want to be cured. I don't need to be cured. SolidWorks opened up a whole new world for me. Before it, I was just going through life without a plan. Now, my life has meaning. I get up in the morning and look forward to going to the office. I'm one of the lucky ones, y'know? I get paid to do what I love.
I remember when I first saw SolidWorks. I'd just been moved into a position as a Technical Writer/Illustrator. At the time, all of the illustrations were created in AutoCAD. I noticed some of the engineers using SolidWorks and said to myself, "hey, I bet you could create great illustrations with that!" With a bit of fanagaling, I got SolidWorks installed onto my computer and began to mess with it. It didn't take long to start creating models. Admittedly, my first models were crap. I still hadn't quite grasped some of the basics as far as how to properly orientate the first sketch, etcetera. This did come in time, though. My idea of creating illustrations with SolidWorks was met with quite a bit of resistance by the "old time" illustrators. They nay-sayed SolidWorks' ability to accurately create Isometric views. They said it wouldn't translate well into a 2D picture. They told me I was wasting my time, that it couldn't be done. Naturally, this just compelled me to prove them wrong. And I did. Within a short amount of time, all the illustrations were derived from SolidWorks.
Life went along smoothly. I learned more and more about SolidWorks' capabilities. I started getting involved in the SolidWorks community. I wanted to do more with SolidWorks. I wanted to learn more. These cravings drove me from the company I was with because I'd become pigeon-holed there.
Fast forward 10 years. I now am the proud owner of my own consulting and design company, a CSWP and avowed SolidWorks user. I wouldn't be where I am today without SolidWorks. I went from being a Technical Writer/Illustrator, to a CAD Administrator, to an AE for a SolidWorks VAR to a small business owner. In there somewhere, I started writing this blog. I was honored to present at a SWUGN Technical Summit and I was further honored to be asked to present at the upcoming NESWUG summit in Westford, MA. To top it all off, I'm working on a project that I think is very cool and, from what I've been able to ascertain, is on the cutting edge of SolidWorks' capabilities.
What's my point with this post? What am I rambling on for? It's this: If I can succeed with SolidWorks, anyone can. All you need is the will to learn, passion for what you do and the tenacity to plow through the BS thrown at you. This is why I'm a SolidWorks addict. It makes learning easy, gives me something to be passionate about and the will to see what is on the other side of the BS.

Marriage is never easy, and it seems Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas are on the verge of splitting up!
According to a report, the months of separate appearances and vacations are all part of a last-ditch effort to save their union by taking some time apart.
Even with a life in the spotlight, Catherine Zeta Jones has managed to keep her struggles with bipolar disorder and husband Michael Douglas's cancer quiet these past few years.
Now, the "Chicago" star is opening up to The Telegraph on how the tough times affected her and how she dealt with them.
They may be sporting quite a bit of gray hair, but the guys from "Last Vegas" can still let loose as shown in the new trailer released on Thursday (July 18).
In the geriatric comedy, three sixty-something friends take a break from their day-to-day lives to throw a bachelor party in Las Vegas for their last remaining single pal.
Though it has already aired on HBO, a clip from "Behind the Candelabra" was released to prepare for the film's release in the UK on June 7th.
Starring Michael Douglas and Matt Damon, the biopic follows the 6-year relationship between Liberace and his younger lover, Scott Thorson.
Lending his name to a cause close to his heart, Michael Douglas was on hand for the One Centennial Sensation event for the American Cancer Society on Monday (June 3) in New York City.
Dashing in a crisp suit and tie, the "Wall Street" star, himself a cancer survivor, posed for the cameras in front of the Hudson Theater at the Millennium Broadway Hotel before heading inside for the evening.
He has been through a lot both on- and off-screen, and on Sunday (June 2) Michael Douglas told the British newspaper The Guardian that his throat cancer was caused by the HPV virus.
The 68-year-old Academy Award-winning actor told the paper that his condition, which was diagnosed three years ago, was a result of performing oral sex.
Teaming up to promote their newest film, Michael Douglas and Matt Damon attended the premiere of "Behind the Candelabra" at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday (May 21).
Getting an early start to the day, Michael Douglas and Matt- Damon attended a press conference for their new flick "Behind the Candelabra" at the 66th Cannes Film Festival this morning (May 21).

Every Wednesday (usually) I post a debug tip to our twitter page at https://twitter.com/#!/ntdebugging. This blog is an archive of these tips to allow our readers to find this information easily. I will update this blog periodically with the new tips; follow us on twitter if you want to see the tips as I post them.
The goal of these tips is to share debug commands, and forms of commands (parameters, flags, etc) that my colleagues and I find useful. I hope you can add these commands to your toolkit and they will help you debug more efficiently.
!thread/!process [address] e – on x64 will not show you the meaningless Args to Child information.
.frame /c [FrameNumber] – sets context to specified stack frame. Provides more reliable information than .trap on x64.
kn – Dumps call stack with frame numbers, easier than counting stacks for .frame.
.frame /r [FrameNumber] – same as .frame /c, but shows registers without changing context.
Note: With .frame /c or /r you can only trust the nonvolatile registers. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9z1stfyw(VS.80).aspx for vol/nonvol regs.
k=rbp rip FrameCount – Dumps call stack starting at rbp/rip on x64. Useful when the stack is corrupt. #debug ^DN
.process/.thread /p /r [address] – sets new process context, sets .cache forcedecodeuser, and reloads user symbols. #debug ^DebugNinja
!process [address] 17 – Sets the context for this command, avoids the need for .process to see user stacks. Try !process 0 17 #debug ^DN
~~[ThreadID]s – Changes threads in user mode. Use Thread ID number from output such as !locks. Ex: ~~[1bd4]s #debug ^DN
runas /netonly /u:<account> windbg.exe – Launch windbg with domain account. Use when dbg computer isn't in domain and symbol server is. ^DN
!heap -p -a <address> – Shows information about the heap block containing <address>, even if you aren't using pageheap. #debug ^DN
ub – Unassembles starting at a location prior to your address. Accepts l<number> to specify how many instructions to go back. ub . l20 ^DN

It's rumored that ABC Home gets the real Santa, so I had to check him out. What do you think? Is this the real Santa? The line to see him stretched out the store onto the sidewalk, but it moved really fast. 20-25 minutes wait the Saturday before Christmas is not bad. As a bonus, ABC Home gave out pretty lollipops!
If anyone is keeping track, Ella has worn that same dress to sit on Santa's lap for the past three years. Maybe four! It's a size 3T. That little shrimp. And another thing, is it just me or does Owen (in the bowtie) already seem doubtful?

My parents used to take us to see the REAL Santa at a historic house in town when I was little. I knew that the mall Santas weren't real, but surely this one was. Oh to be young again...ReplyDelete
I want to dress as well as your kids!ReplyDelete
funny! He does look doubtful, doesn't he??ReplyDelete
and your daughter's hat is simply adorable. where did you get it?

Reports from Jerusalem indicate the Obama administration has reached a compromise agreement with the Netanyahu led Israel government. Under the agreement, Israel will announced a six month moratorium on construction of new housing in the West Bank, and the United States will ignore the building of 2,500 housing units now on delay. Israel sources suggest Obama is not willing to give in regarding the need to end further construction of housing in the West Bank as well as requiring evacuation of many units in a final compromise agreement between Israel and Palestinians. He needs evidence that America can force Israel to compromise or he will lose any credibility he might currently possess with Arab leaders.
Israel is still arguing its government made housing agreements with the Bush administration and Obama must adhere to those commitments by George Bush. Of course, this idea makes no legal sense let alone foreign policy sense for any American government. Obama was elected to END Bush agreements.

Gareth Bale has backed Andre-Villas Boas to pull through a tough period and believes it is only a matter of time before Tottenham's fortunes in front of goal change.
The Spurs boss saw his odds to become the next Premier League manager to leave his post shorten dramatically in the wake of last Sunday's humbling at Etihad Stadium.
But Bale has branded the Portuguese boss a 'great manager' and believes the impressive example he set last year should serve as proof that he is more-than capable of inspiring his charges.
"He should be given time. He is a great manager - he showed that last year. He is a good enough manager to pull everybody through. Hopefully they can catch the others up."
Bale added: "I've been watching quite a lot of the games. We play so late so I've been able to see. They've been very unlucky in front of goal.
"Sometimes they've created a lot of chances - the most in the league - and haven't converted. On another day they'd score."
Meanwhile, Tottenham defender Kyle Walker has insisted he has faith that Villas-Boas is the right man to lead the club forward and propel the north Londoners back among the league's best.
"The results haven't gone the way we've wanted to but we've stayed strong as a team and mentally and physically, training has been top class and it showed today.
"It might take a bit of time but you can see the players we've brought in are class, they're top class international players.
"We'll be up there. I've every faith in the team and in the gaffer as well that we can turn this around."

Bootstrap Sea Ice Concentrations Version 1 Processing Steps
The choice of tie-points and the justification for using them have been discussed in various publications (Comiso et al. 1997; Comiso 1995; Comiso and Sullivan 1986; Comiso 1984). The tie-points for ice and open water are the set of brightness temperature values that correspond to ice concentrations of 100% and 0%, respectively. With the Bootstrap Algorithm, the tie-point for ice is a point along a line AD, while the tie-point for open ocean clusters around a single data point (refer to figure 3 below). In previous retrievals, the line AD was fixed during fall and winter and allowed to fluctuate in spring and summer to account for large changes in emissivity during this period. In this data set, adjustments were made on a day to day basis by applying the results of a linear regression on the consolidated ice data points, that is all points above the line AD - 5K. The estimates are generally compatible with the previous ones and differences are typically small, but the technique allows for needed change when emissivities and temperatures fluctuate substantially due to adverse weather conditions. This was not done previously because of added requirements in processing time, but the advent of powerful computers has made the procedure practical.
Because the TB values vary from one sensor to another, tie-points were checked for compatibility in sea ice concentration during periods of sensor overlap. When applying the original tie-points (Comiso 1995), the frequency distribution of SMMR (in black) and SSM/I (in red) sea ice concentrations (Figure 1a) for the same day during overlap period are shown to be significantly different. In highly consolidated ice areas, the amplitude and standard deviation of the SSM/I peak is considerably different from the SMMR peak. When combining data from the two sensors, this discrepancy can cause problems in assessing long term changes in sea ice cover. However, the peaks can be made almost identical by slightly adjusting the sea ice tie-points. The use of the linear regression technique for both SMMR and SSM/I turned out to be appropriate for this purpose since when applied, the results show much better agreement (Figure 1b). This technique also improves the consistency in the estimates of sea ice extent and sea ice area from SMMR (solid line) and SSM/I (dashed line) during the period of overlap in 1987 (Figures 2a and 2b). This makes it unnecessary to apply a normalization on one set of data to make the two data sets consistent during periods of overlap. The regression technique provides a new slope and offset daily for the line AD, but the slope and offsets were found to change little during winter except during adverse weather conditions. These daily calculations improve data consistency not just between the SMMR and SSM/I sensors but also between the different SSM/I sensors (for example, DMSP-F8, -F11, and -F13). The use of this technique thus provides a better representation of sea ice cover and was adapted during the sea ice concentration reprocessing.
Figure 1. Histogram of SMMR and SSM/I concentrations in the Antarctic on 25 July 1987 (a, top) before tie-point adjustment, and (b, bottom) after tie-point adjustment.
Figure 2. Total Antarctic sea ice area during period of SMMR-SSM/I overlap (a, top) before tie-point adjustment, and (b, bottom) after tie-point adjustment.
Figure 3. Scatterplots of vertically polarized 18 GHz and 37 GHz SMMR brightness temperatures for (a, left) entire Antarctic, (b, middle) Weddell, Indian, and Pacific sectors, and (c, right) Ross and Bellingshausen/Amundsen sectors. Line AD represents the ice tie-point while O represents open water. Ice between 0 and 100% lies on a line between O and AD.
The signature of the Antarctic sea ice cover has been considered to be similar to that of a seasonal ice cover even in the Weddell Sea where a large fraction of the sea ice cover survives the summer, the signature is similar to other regions (Zwally et al. 1983). However, although the sea ice that survives the summer in the Bellingshausen/Amundsen Seas region appears to have a different signature in the subsequent winter, the sea ice algorithms, including the original Bootstrap Algorithm, did not take this into account. Accurate characterization of the sea ice cover in the region is desirable, especially since the region has been identified recently as a climatologically anomalous area. In Figure 3a, a scatter plot of 19V versus 37V data points from the entire Antarctic region on 17 June 1979 is shown. The tie-point for ice is labeled AD. The same set of points are shown in Figures 3b and 3c; but the data points in the Weddell, Indian, and West Pacific sectors were plotted separately from those in the Bellingshausen, Amundsen, and Ross Sea sectors, as indicated. It is apparent that the slope of the data points for consolidated ice (that is along AD) in one region is different from that of the other region. The use of one set of tie-points, as in Figure 3a, for the entire Antarctic region yielded the color coded ice concentration map shown in Figure 4a; while the use of a separate set of tie-points for the two regions, as indicated in Figures 3b and 3c, yielded the map in Figure 4b.
Figure 4. Antarctic sea ice concentration field for 17 June 1979 (a, top) before, and (b, bottom) after regional tie-point adjustments.
The ice concentration maps are basically the same in the two regions except towards the west of the Antarctic Peninsula where a large area with 70% ice concentration (brown) or less is apparent in the original data set (Figure 4a) but is shown to be much more consolidated and more consistent with observations from other sensors (for example, OLS and AVHRR) in the new one (Figure 4b). The historical SMMR data indeed shows that in the summer of 1979, highly concentrated ice survived in the same area identified as a relatively low concentration area (brown) in Figure 4a. This indicates that there was a dominance of multiyear ice in the region.
Data were interpolated in areas with missing pixels according to the following steps. First, data were spatially interpolated only for isolated empty pixels. An empty pixel was replaced by the average of four good surrounding pixels, or if four good pixels were not available, then a smaller number of pixels was selected. Second, a time interpolation was applied to the spatially interpolated map. Time interpolation was based on a weighting scheme, that is, the closer the good data were in time, the higher the weighted value. For each empty pixel, the algorithm searched forward in time for a good pixel, and backward in time for a second good pixel. The algorithm determined how many days ahead and behind the two good pixels occurred, and calculated the weight of each pixel. A weighted average of the two good pixels was then calculated, and the result was used for the empty pixel. During the SSM/I period, most temporal interpolations were conducted using only adjacent days. During the SMMR period, particularly in 1986 when larger gaps were present, temporal interpolations had separations of more days.

Everyone guess what, guess what, guess what? For my moms birthday, she got another Dobie. I was soooo scared of her at first because all she knew how to do was bark, eat and sleep. But now I looove her. She plays all the time I even let her bite and pull my ears, n I don't like when anyone touches my ears. N she's named after a car like me too! Mom says I behave even more like a horse when Cede as I call her is around. WOW when Cede gets big we are gonna get into even more trouble together! teehee I can't wait.
So Springs here!!! Im excited because this is my first springtime! Although it sure does rain a lot more then the other seasons, but that ok. My mom's done final exams so now we can go everywhere together! The sun, the grass and best of all the pond! My mom says Im a goof because everytime she turns the corner I run and jump in the pond...she doesnt know it but Im looking for that fish that bit me last week. When I find him...DINNER!
Woof you all later...
Beamer and Mom
p.s. tell your humans to put sunscreen on your noses, I used to lick it off but mom said its for my protection, so i dont anymore
So mommy called the vet today and he said he thinks Im allergic to dust! Can you believe it? I guess that means I can't go to work with grandpa for the next few days until they finish with all that drywalling. Pooooeee! I love being able to run around all day and scare all the construction guys away. But mommy said until I get better no construction zones for me! oh well...guess I'll have to stay home and play with my kong all day...
kisses Beamer and Mom

I'm really busy with school, so doge did it for me, and the music is a bit more partyish. Enjoy!

Tennis Narrowly Edged by RedHawks
Feb. 1, 2014
CINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati women's tennis team lost a heartbreaker to in-state rival Miami (Oh) by a score of 4-3 Saturday afternoon on the road.
The Bearcats opened the day by earning the doubles point with victories in two of the three matches. Sophomore Kelly Poggensee-Wei (Lake Villa, Ill./Grayslake North) and senior Caitlin O'Gara (Springboro, Ohio/Bishop Fenwick) took down the duo of Christine Guerrazzi and Ana Rajkovic 6-2 to open action. Senior Ashleigh Witte (West Chester, Ohio/Lakota West) and freshman Lauren Bellinger (Dublin, Ohio/Dublin Jerome) then gave Cincinnati the 1-0 lead when they defeated the tandem of Nimisha Mohan and Andreea Badileanu 6-3.
During singles action Ana Rajkovic of the RedHawks tied the match up at one when she defeated senior Sierra Sullivan (Austin, Texas/The Khabele School) 6-3, 6-0 on court No. 6. Miami earned the next two points and pushed the lead to 3-1 when they picked up wins from Ramona Costea over freshman Katya Bure (Springfield, N.J./Jonathan Dayton) in a 6-2, 6-3 final and Nimisha Mohan against Bellinger by a 6-4, 6-2 score.
Cincinnati returned the favor, tying the match at three after Witte beat Christine Guerrazzi 6-2, 6-2 and Poggensee-Wei won in three sets again Christiana Raymond 6-4, 3-6, 1-0 (2). The deciding match then fell to O'Gara who battled back from an opening set, 6-1 loss, nearly forcing a tie break before falling 7-5 to Andreea Badileanu.
The Bearcats fall to 1-4 on the season with the loss while the RedHawks move to 3-0. Cincinnati will take their act on the road next Sunday, February 9, when they go up against the No. 65 Louisville Cardinals. Doubles will begin at 2 p.m. in Bass-Rudd Tennis Center.

hundreds of millions of dollars for the exclusive right to have their names associated with the World Cup, came out and condemned soccer's world governing body has always been the big question, as
their power of the purse is about the only leverage anyone has to shake up the Zurich organization.
"The negative tenor of the public debate around FIFA at the moment is neither good for
football nor for FIFA and its partners," said adidas.
"Anything that detracts from the mission and ideals of the FIFA World Cup is a concern to us," Coca-Cola said in a statement, "but we
are confident that FIFA is taking these allegations very seriously and is investigating them thoroughly."
Visa and Sony both made statements on the eve of the FIFA Congress that at the
very least show they aren't ignorant to the damage that is being done to FIFA's name. The only official sponsors not to issue statements were Hyundai and Emirates.
Adidas and Coca-Cola
are longtime FIFA sponsors going back to the days of former FIFA president Joao Havelange, whose power base, ironically, was built on the development programs
introduced in the Third World and funded by FIFA's sponsors.
What action, if any, FIFA takes about the latest allegations remains to be seen. FIFA investigator Michael J. Garcia, a former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, is set to finish his report for submission to FIFA's ethics commission after the World Cup. But Garcia,
whose report into the ISL scandal led to Havelange resigning from his honorary FIFA post, is unlikely to delve into the charges made by the Sunday Times. His office intends to wrap up its
investigation on Monday.
A good portion of the latest Sunday Times reports makes good reading into the lifestyles of FIFA's power elite but is standard fare into high-stakes international
lobbying. What the Sunday Times has attempted to expose are the efforts bin Hammam undertook to use Qatar's wealth and energy power to attract the attention of members of the executive committee and
their governments.
The Sunday Times reported documents it obtained show bin Hammam used the prospect
of providing access to Qatari energy deal-makers to lobby Thai Worawi Makudi, a member of the FIFA executive committee, and Thai energy officials.
Just as bin Hammam reportedly spent $5 million on currying favors in Africa, he spent another $1.5 million in Asia, according to the Sunday Times' investigation. But the bottom line was his effort to
win the support of other Asian members of the FIFA executive committee: South Korean Chung Mong-joon and Junji Ogura of
Japan, both representing rival bidders in the 2022 race, and Makudi.
Bin Hammam's skill as a politician was evident as the Sunday Times reported how bin Hammam won over the support of his former enemy, Chung, who in 2009 had accused bin Hammam of
"acting like a head of a crime organization" as president of the Asian Football Confederation and branded him mentally unstable. Bin Hammam and Chung shared one thing in common: they were
political enemies of FIFA president Sepp Blatter, and bin Hammam could provide him help -- and as the Sunday Times charges, a political fixer -- as Blatter
sought to oust Chung from the FIFA executive committee.
The irony, of course, is by the middle of 2011, less than six months after bin Hammam and Chung (presumably) voted for Qatar, both
were off the FIFA executive committee, bin Hammam removed after being caught trying to bribe Caribbean officials in his bid to unseat Blatter for FIFA president and Chung defeated by young Prince Ali bin Al Hussein of Jordan, the Blatter candidate and "reform candidate," for the Asian vice president's seat on the FIFA executive committee.
The Sunday Times' tour of the world also included a sidetrip to Europe for a look at bin Hammam's lobbying
efforts to secure the support of the two most famous members of the FIFA executive committee in 2010, Frenchman Michel Platini and German Franz Beckenbauer, and how bin Hammam carried on his relationship with private citizen Beckenbauer in 2011 after the former German captain and coach stepped down from
the executive committee.
Before the latest Sunday Times report, Beckenbauer had distanced himself from the allegations by saying, "I have never been acting for Qatar nor for Mohamed
bin Hammam." While Platini has stated he voted for Qatar, it is not known whether Beckenbauer, an early supporter of Australia, voted for Qatar or the USA in the final ballot that went 14-8 to
Qatar. (It is believed, though, Beckenbauer jumped on the USA bandwagon in the second round of voting after Australia was eliminated.)
Beckenbauer came in for criticism of his own Sunday
following his admission that he refused to cooperate with FIFA investigator Garcia since he was no longer a FIFA member. A member of the executive committee told the Daily Telegraph anonymously
that Beckenbauer's refusal to cooperate was "pathetic."
No word on where the Sunday Times will go next Sunday but a likely target is South America, where support toward Qatar
away from the USA and Conmebol's geographic ally, Concacaf, ultimately tipped the scales in Qatar 2022's favor.

Please refrain from opening your mouth if you can't read about something in full before spouting negative propaganda.
^Did you READ my comments? I think not! They were directed at AT&T! AT&T is spending $39B and creating nothing.
Very stupid of AT&T.
I wonder what will happen with the T-Mobile 3G towers if this goes through? Will they change them to AT&T's frequency or keep the AWS on the T-Mobile's towers? For me I can roam on T-Mobile's 3G but when roaming on AT&T I get EDGE so I am curious how that's going to work out.
^Creating ZERO, nothing new. Plain and simple.
Rather than playing the role of a three year old. Please explain how this is not creating something. Explain how this does not improve...
1. Coverage
2. Quality
3. Speed of availability of an LTE network that will reach 95% penetration.
Please explain this instead of just spouting your "nuh uh" mentality.
^That ALREADY exists now! A little programing change and it could be used now!
Nothing New!! Plain and simple.
They need new products. Coverage is really nothing new except gain of area.
Nothing new. No new towers, no new coverage (where coverage did not exist before), no increased speed, no new features. Nothing new.
$39B to buy out something that already exists. What a waste of money.
True. That corporate mumbo-jumbo is AT%T caring about stock and profits not the best coverage and quality. Although they did do a major billion dollar 3G expansion with Qualcomm in order to improve 3G speed and coverage.
Obviously the spectrums will need to be matched up but there is a lot that goes into these changes. ATT is already working on hardward upgrades in more rural areas as it is. The companies are not mutually exclusive just because they are both GSM. Yes there is programming changes that have to be made but many are far from simple. Not all companies use the same software or even the same hardware. Optimization and stardardization will need to play a major role. Finding out what hardware and software benefits both companies networks the best. Companies use hundreds if not thousands of internal applications just to see a product from A-Z. If both companies have their own cultures and standards these have to be optimized and standardized to maximize growth while incurring minimal costs over time. It's not just a matter of updating a piece of code to communicate cross platform.
^^That corporate mumbo-jumbo is AT&T worrying about their corporate planes, private yachts, beach front properties, million dollar salaries, and multi-million dollar bonuses!!
This does not help the consumer. No additional anything.
If fact, consumer choices are reduced.

^You don't know business very well. Retired VP Manager here.
This is nothing new. Grow by acquisition, or grow internally.
Growth by acquisition creates nothing new. Rebranding, elimination of duplication jobs, less choices.
Plain and simple. Nothing new.

I don't have any of the models you list, but I do have a #12 Basic for my 3" GP100. Here's a crappy pic:
It's an okay holster. The molding doesn't line up perfectly with the gun. It's probably molded with an adjustable sighted model (with has a slightly different frame profile) and just cut short for the barrel.

Just received this email and thought some of you might get a kick out of it.
Pocket Taser Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife. This was submitted by a guy who purchased his lovely wife a "pocket Taser" for their anniversary.
Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest.
The occasion was our 22nd anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra
for my wife Toni. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized taser.
The effects of the taser were suppose to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect
on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety.....
Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two triple-A batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd
get the blue arch of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.
Awesome!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Toni what that burn spot is on the
face of her microwave. Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself
that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-A batteries, right?
There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I
was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh
& blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong?
So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, taser in the other. The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two- second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.
All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-A batteries) thinking to myself, "no possible way!"
What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best.....
I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say, "don't do it," reasoning that a one-second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one-second burst just for the heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and....... HOLY MOTHER, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION@!*****!%!@*!!!
I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs. The cat was standing over me making meowing sounds I had never heard before, licking my face, undoubtedly thinking to herself, "do it again, do it again!"
Note: If you ever feel compelled to "mug" yourself with a taser, one note of caution: there is no such thing as a one-second burst when you zap yourself. You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor. A three second burst would be considered conservative.
SON-OF-A- ** that hurt like hell!!! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. How did they up get there??? My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I'm still looking for my testicles? I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return.
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

Italian designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have entered a three year deal with Chelsea to dress their players, muscling their way in the fashion-hungry football market.
The football-loving duo, best known for their sharp men's tailoring and southern Italian style, they would design the official suits for players like Frank Lampard, John Terry and Ashley Cole; and also new stadium areas for the Premier League champions over the next three seasons.
"We are big football fans, for us it means healthy competition, intense passion and great discipline," Dolce and Gabbana said in a statement.
The deal marks the first partnership with a foreign club for the two designers - whose suits already dress AC Milan players and Italy's national team. Dolce is an AC Milan fan and never misses their home matches at Milan's San Siro stadium.
Financial details of the partnership have not been disclosed.
Under the deal, the Premier League champions, including the Italian manager and former AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti, will wear blue suits - the club's colour - with two-button jackets and blue jacquard ties.
Dolce and Gabbana - whose wholesale sales were of £1.15 billion in the fiscal year ended in March - will also design exclusive spaces at the Stamford Bridge stadium for guests attending matches.
For their worldwide appeal to fans, sculpted football stars have always been a safe bet for fashion brands such as Dolce and Gabbana, whose business interest in the game dates back to 2003.
The Italian designers also hired five Italian soccer players to strip down for their underwear campaigns ahead of the World Cup in South Africa in June. Italy was knocked out in the group stage.

Does anyone in S. Jersey use chicken necks for crab bait? A number of years ago it was our preferred bait for crabing. Does anyone know where I can buy them in S.J. or the Phila. area?
Tight Lines & Safe Returns,
Does anyone in S. Jersey use chicken necks for crab bait? A number of years ago it was our preferred bait for crabing. Does anyone know where I can buy them in S.J. or the Phila. area?
Tight Lines & Safe Returns,
Back in the day when my father would take me crabbing in Kent Island Md., they would drive by yelling out the window "you f**king chicken neckers". You can get them in any super market. In south Jersey the perfered bait is bunker but I have used checken also and it lasts longer.
Surething <br />Sea Isle
chicken necks in maryland and bunker in new jersey has been that way for years.
I sometimes use chicken backs as crab bait. I usually get them at pathmark.
Necks and backs are good. I usually buy the whole chicken and cut it up and save the backs and necks for crabbing or making broth. Much cheaper that way.
I only use bunker, chicken does not work for me.
soak the chicken in bunker over night on your refrigerator, best of both worlds

bringhurst sells great chickenbait cheap.
I used chicken necks and chicken drum sticks. Drum sticks last longer and I didn't catch any more with the necks.
What Phish said AND if you want real crabs, go to Md........

40lb for around $20-$30 in MD. Frozen necks. Enough to last me all summer. around 100 baits. I break em down into small bags and take maybe 30 necks for crabbing...changing baits after a few hrs.
NJ people use bunker/fish
MD peeps use necks mostly.
My brother in law put left over steak in the trap. They seemed to like it.

A man is to be poisoned on stage during the performance of a play. Problem is fantasy turns to reality when he really is croaked. Fred Gwynn is the police detective in this whodunit.
Jose Jacobo
Neat little mystery. Gwynn is usually comfortable in this type of role and pulls this one off. Nice supporting cast and good twist at end. Worth the listening time.
Did Evie Juster do both female roles?
Bill King
"Natural Sugar" is an Excellent detective procedural Who Dunnit!! I really enjoyed listening to it- thank you to this Website!!! Other good Who Dunnits are the "Long Blue Line" and "Cabinet of the Unsolved". Anyone have any others to recommend?

How can you go wrong with Fred Gwynne, Russell Horton and Evie Juster?!?!

William B offers a good analysis of the use of a home defense weapon. I used to subscribe to the shotgun idea as well, but two things have changed my mind.
The size, shape, and mag capacity of the weapon is one. It's a lot of gun to use inside a house, and a folding stock or pistol grip version is little help. The shotgun has formidable recoil; if you score with the first shot, you're golden, but it will be a long count before you can get back on target and get another one away. Too, it's a handful for smaller statured members of your household.
The second issue is what you now see in squad cars. It used to be that the 12ga pump was about standard, but many cruisers are now sporting ARs. I'm sure this is a matter of training/familiarity, versatility, and reduced recoil, but it's still a good choice.


text: I was driving home last night and I was kinda in a hurry because I was dead tired. While driving the speed limit (50) a mid 90's SE-R with exhaust pulls up next to me and starts pacing me. I thought, oooh just the thing to wake me up a bit. So I punched it and instantly pulled 1/2 car on him. Then he shifted and flew right by, pulling 1 carlength on me. I was like WTF?? and when his shift to probably 5th, I started reeling him in and I got my bumper to his front door, however there was traffic in front of me so I had to slow down at about 105.

The little girl was only a toddler, 2 going on 3, but she weighed 70 pounds and lived in filth, Pierce County Sheriff's Det. Sgt. Teresa Berg learned before she went to remove the child from her home.
Berg is on the team of law enforcement officers who are called on to help remove abused or neglected children from their homes and take them to temporary foster homes. She's one of the founders of Charlie's Dinosaur.
"I remember saying, 'No way,'" Berg said of the report.
"That was one big toddler. She was ginormous. The kids were in filth. Absolute filth. The only food, I kid you not, was Cheetos and soda. It was awful. This poor little one, she was almost three. She had a brother who was eight.
"We had to take the kids into protective custody. They weren't being cared for. Mom couldn't even get up off the sofa.
"You forgot, looking at (the toddler), that she was almost 3. She didn't have many words yet, not a lot of exposure to people speaking to her. Of course, she wasn't potty trained, and she hadn't bathed in a while.
"I would pretty much clean kids up at the precinct. They are much better accepted at the homes. I took her into the bathroom to clean her up, and I had to cut her underwear off. They were cutting into her skin. Oh, my gosh. I got scissors and cut them off, and she was 'ouchie! ouchie!' They were so tight on her tummy. We took all of them off, cleaned her up and made her comfy. It was like a different kid. We had pull-ups for her.
"That's an example of the importance of having clothes for these children. A lot of the time, kids have wretched clothes on. If it's too big, it's one thing, but if it's too small, it's worse.
"She wasn't beaten. This was a case of atrocious neglect because mom has mental health issues.
"This is one of the positive stories. It was a wake-up call for mom. Her family did rally. Sometimes it takes something like your kids having to go away before you realize you need to change. The parent went into services, and she did very well with services and treatment. She had the opportunity to make amends. She did love her kids, and she did want them back.
"The kids were bonded, and we wanted to make it nice for them. The older boy came back home sooner than the younger girl. The kids did well."
