Wildfires - Spring (MAM) 2003
NCEI added Alaska climate divisions to its nClimDiv dataset on Friday, March 6, 2015, coincident with the release of the February 2015 monthly monitoring report. For more information on this data, please visit the Alaska Climate Divisions FAQ.
Several large wildfires occurred in the Great Lakes region this spring due to dryer than normal winter conditions. The lack of spring rain and snow left herbaceous vegetation vulnerable to fire (NIFC).
A brush fire in Florida on April 11th burned around 500 acres causing traffic disruption.
In Dare County, North Carolina, at least 2840 acres had been burned as of Tuesday May 13th and the fire was not yet under control. The fire started on a bombing range and very quickly spread engaging at least five firefighting departments from around the area.
Prolonged drought in many western states may contribute to an above average wildfire season in parts of the U.S, though it is not expected to be as severe as 2002 according to the National Interagency Fire Center.

Apple to Amazon on Kindle Fire: Bring it On

Sender E-mail
Apple suggests that popular Kindle Fire will hurt Android
Thus far Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) has been the only Android tablet maker to make major inroads against the wildly popular Apple, Inc. (
) iPad's dominant market share. But that situation is about to change thanks to Amazon.com Inc.'s (
) new Android-powered
Kindle Fire tablet
. Priced at $200 the tablet is the cheapest Android tablet to hit the market yet, and its specs are surprisingly respectable. Driven largely by the attractive price, the tablet was
registering pre-orders of 50,000 units a day
in lieu of its November 15 launch.
Of all companies, you would think this would be most concerning to Apple. However, Barclays analyst Ben Reitzes
that Apple's top executives are entirely unphased by the Fire's success.
In fact, he says that in a recent meeting he had with Apple CEO Tim Cook and CFO Peter Oppenheimer, he was told that Apple was pleased with the Kindle Fire's success, which they felt would fracture the Android market and solidify their lead.
He recalls:
While the pricing at $199 looks disruptive for what seems to be the iPad's most important rising challenge, the Amazon Fire – it is important to note that it could fuel further fragmentation in the tablet market—given it represents yet another platform. While compatible with Android, the Apps work with Amazon products. The more fragmentation, the better, says Apple, since that could drive more consumers to the stable Apple platform. We believe that Apple will get more aggressive on price with the iPad eventually but not compromise the product quality and experience.
Usually when critics of Android talk about "fragmentation", they're referring to the fact that different handsets are running different version of the base OS tree, as Google Inc. (
), the maker of Android, relies on carriers and hardware partners to push out updates (and some updates are compatible with older handsets for hardware reasons.
The "fragmentation" created by the Kindle Fire is a bit different. The tablet does
run a standard build of Android at all. Amazon branched the OS before Android 2.1, and thus has written much of the interface itself. It's added in multi-touch and
a new browser
Many argue this is a selling point. Apple apparently thinks its disastrous for Android.
Of course the Apple brass's objections could simply be sour grapes. Some believe that in eschewing the baseline Android, Amazon made itself harder to sue -- Apple's favorite technique to try to stifle would-be Android competitors.
But with Amazon cranking up production and at least one analyst predicting
sales of 5 million units
this holiday season, we're guessing Amazon and Google aren't losing any sleep over the tablet's success. Clearly, one man's fragmentation is another man's differentiation.

Hi there,
I'm running 1.2b7 generic pc image on a PII 450Mhz that we
have at the office.
Since I need to access it's configuration remotly I added a
Wan interface firewall rule like:
TCP - * - * - WAN address - 443(HTTPS)
Please note that I chose 'WAN address' from the destination
When I look at the webGUI FW rules I can see the rule properly
configured with a destination of 'WAN address'.
Unfortunately the rule is not working for I can't access the
webGUI from outside the office.
So I tried to edit the rule and I saw that the destination
combo-box is empty!
I chose WAN address again and applied the changes.
But then I edited the rule again (after checking that it is
still not working) and I saw an empty field again...
This is only happening with our m0n0 running on a PC.
I have a net4521 running 1.2b7 at home and I setup a similar
rule but this one works and when I edit the rule I can see
the 'WAN address' on the destination field ;-).
Could this be a bug or a config problem?
I could post the XML file but I'm not sure if I should.
I'll post it if you guys need it for debug.

The Inside Scoop on the People in Some of Your Favorite Memes
Here's a little background information on the people whose pictures make some of your favorite memes.
Here's a little background information on the people whose pictures make some of your favorite memes.
Well, 'Futurama' is over. The final episode aired last night. We...don't feel great about it. But why use words to describe our feelings, when we could use moving pictures. No, not videos -- GIFs! These sad GIFs from 'Futurama' sum up our feelings on the end of the beloved animated series best.
Everyone's favorite miserable cat is finally getting her own movie. No, not Garfield. There have been two Garfield movies already. Where have you been? But it has been announced that Tard herself, aka Grumpy Cat, is the inspiration for a 'Garfield'-like live-action movie.
Last year it was "Tard" the Grumpy Cat blowing up all over the internet, could this be this year's cat meme craze? It's called 'Cat Bearding' and it's the illusion of when your cat's nose and mouth become yours!
If you've heard of the iPhone app, 'Vine' you know you can capture quick six-second video loops and post them like tweets. Well, Vine user Ryan McHenry (@ryanmchenry) decided to use the app to make it look like Ryan Gosling doesn't wanna eat his cereal!
Charles Ramsay (Ramsey?) would already be a hero and household name by now after rescuing those three women in Cleveland who were kidnapped and held captive for over a decade, but he's also landed himself the title of 'Internet Sensation' too after his nutty antics during his post rescue interview.
Mayday, Mayday! No, not that kind of May Day... Today is actually 'Labor Day' or International Workers' Day around the world in more than 80 countries, so we thought we'd celebrate with some humor as usual! Here are your May Day memes:
No, we're not talking about Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet reprising their roles in an epic James Cameron Titanic sequel (how would you DO that anyway?), we're talking about the REAL thing! Billionaire Clive Palmer has some extra cash burning a hole in his pocket (hopefully that's all there'll be a hole in) and wants to build another Titanic
So this video does a pretty good job of summing up the PS4 press conference yesterday, if you didn't have several hours to spend watching streaming video about a new gaming console. Some people are excited. Others are underwhelmed. Still others are making memes, because this is the internet, and that's what people do. Here are some of our favorites.
Usually I'm not one to write a lot about Memes, but this did catch my eye. The Grumpy Cat Turd is back, and he truly hates the Beatles. I don't understand why, but he's like a grumpy old person who hates everything. Here are the top Grumpy Cat Beatles Memes on the web.

Fashion Report
A couple of things have caught my eye recently in the Fashion World, so I wanted to share them with you. Did you know there is a Banana Republic Mad Men Collection ? I love most all of the collection, but here were some of my favorites...

An odd thing to do in class
So as you know, school started back last week. While Irene was churning itself in the water to become a hurricane for the east coast, my calender was a hurricane all on its own, reeking havoc on my life here in Texas. First week of school + busiest lawyering week of the year + law partner on maternity leave = not good.
By Friday night, I was tired and in pain. It seems standing on your feet almost all day every day and walking miles in heels, can cause some pain for your body. On Friday night, my left ankle and foot hurt so bad that I thought I was going to have to get the crutches out the garage just to get around my house. Thankfully, I feel better, but the heels are going to be a rarity this week.
Anyway, in all that hub-bub, there was one thing about school that just cracked me up last week. On Wednesday, a guy, who had seemed perfectly normal on Monday, busted out some knitting before class. I just looked at him and thought, Huh, that guy is KNITTING. But one of his classmates finally busted out with a "What are you doing up there? Are you knitting?!? What are you knitting?". He informed us all that he was knitting a scarf.
I have to give it to my students, they didn't mock him. They simply inquired about how long is the scarf going to be, etc. He put up his knitting for lecture, but towards the end of class, we were doing a current events interactive discussion and out came the knitting again.
I rocked along pretty good, wanting to laugh, but not doing so, until the very end of class when he pulled out his iphone...his iphone was housed in a case that he had knitted for it!
The knitting continued on Friday. It's really a work in progress and we as the class are witnesses to the developments.

NPFP (Never Pay Full Price)
I've entitled this post Never Pay Full Price (NPFP) because, well, that's usually my motto. I love nice things and I love getting them on a deal!
Let me show you some of my recent finds...
I was going to a fancy grocery store a few weeks back and I missed my exit off the highway (I swear the exit sign was missing!). Anyway, I was forced to exit on a different road, and while exiting, I thought to myself You know Nordstrom Rack is just up the street... Of course, I made the detour. I hadn't been to Nordstrom Rack in ages, and had never purchased a thing there. In fact, I don't really know if I would have even characterized myself as a "Nordstrom Shopper" the last time I was there.
I found Nordstrom Rack to be a completely different world when I was there. I think it helps to be a "Nordstrom Shopper". If you are familiar with the store, then you can zero in on brands (a lot of the store is organized by brands) that you like. I found several things I liked, but only purchased one thing...new sunglasses. I mean heck, if I'm going to live on the face of the sun (aka: Texas), I need a new pair of sunglasses, right? Seriously though, I've been in the market for some new ones for about a year.
I got these Tory Burch ones...
I found an adorable patent leather Kate Spade wallet in Gumdrop (hot pink) last December. It was on sale and I should have bought it, but I didn't. I rationalized that it was December and it was Christmas, and I was spending enough on gifts already, and there wasn't anything wrong with my wallet, except it was a little beat-up.
Then it became one big freaking shopping regret. The wheels started to fall off of my wallet, so to speak, and then I couldn't find one that I like and was on sale. Then my wallet got even worse. Last Sunday, I took the plunge and ordered a new wallet. My friend, Abby, ordered the same wallet on the same day. We buy matching wallets. Not sure why. We just do. I also get amused that it confuses the heck out of her kids that we have identical wallets and phone cases.
Anyway, I don't really consider this purchase an extravagance, it was a necessity! Well, okay, so I could have gone to Wal-Mart, so to that extent it was an extravagance, but I mean really, I'm not going to do that. I'm just not.
Here's proof that the old Coach needed to go...
Remember these pants I got at the Nordstrom Sale in two different colors?
In the spirit of full-disclosure, I seem to remember a conversation with Lisa last fall where I proclaimed something along the lines of "I wouldn't be caught dead in a pair of ankle booties". I guess a girl can change her mind.
I had recently received a $10 rewards certificate from DSW. Jennifer had a $10 off coupon that she wasn't going to use, so today I went and got these...

A Craptastic Kind of Day
Today has just been a craptastic kind of day. Honestly at this point, all that's getting me through is the thought that Kate Spade is delivering something to my door in the next day or two via UPS. Hey- don't judge. Sometimes you've just got to grab onto the little things to get by.
Today is my marathon school day. On the upside, once I make it past Tuesday, I'm on the downhill slide. But today is Tuesday, so I had a 7 a.m. class and I have a 7 p.m. class.
Here's my craptastic day run-down:
I was already having that, trouble going to sleep because you know your alarm is going to go off at 5:40 a.m. kind of night. Then at 4:10, the dang electricity flashed off. Long enough for everything in the house to beep and my answering machine to talk to me just to make sure I was awake, alert and scared half to death.
Class went fine. It was my dual credit class (aka: all high school kids). I've never seen so many confused kids in my life. They didn't know where they were going, what they were doing, etc. I was basically a tour guide from 6:40-7:00 a.m. And are you ready for this? They were in 2nd grade when 9/11 happened! Hello, I'm old, nice to meet you.
I ran home from class because I was suppose to have electricians coming to install a chandelier in my bathroom. I have had it scheduled for over two weeks and called to confirm with them yesterday. They didn't come and didn't come and didn't come. So I called. They said I was scheduled for Thursday. Huh? Well, so glad I blocked off a large portion of my day for nothing. Also no answer for why they confirmed yesterday. UGH!
But the worst part of the day came when I had to go to a funeral of a former colleague and friend. 42 years old with a wife and 4 (almost 5) year old daughter. There isn't anything right about that situation.
So that is what truly made my day craptastic. Thinking about that family that's left without the man in their life. Seeing that little girl in her pink dress and knowing that she was the apple of her daddy's eye and that she doesn't get to enjoy him for more than 58 months of her life. Things like that put all the little frustrations in life (lack of sleep, too much work, no-show electricians) into perspective.
All the cliche's are true:
~Live each day to the fullest
~love those around you
~don't sweat the small stuff
~be positive and have faith (a funny story that was told at the funeral was that every single year Jeff proclaimed that he truly believed his Texas Aggies had a chance of winning National Championship each and every year in football, and if that isn't a positive outlook, I don't know what is!)

It's that time again...
It's that time again. The time when school starts back up. I'm a complete crank about it this year. I'm thinking that I'm not over the moon for a couple of reasons that are really not related to school at all: (1) It's been 108' this weekend, and (2) I'm still doing the job of 2 people at our firm, so adding on an extra job, doesn't seem all that appealing right now.
So that means, that I'm feeling like Tommy on this first day of school...
My teaching schedule is crazy this semester. I'm teaching 3 classes again, but I'm at two different campuses and the times could be a challenge. On the bright side, I'm only teaching 1 night class this semester, so this means that I won't have to spend my entire weekend consumed by cleaning out my DVR from the prior week. But for the luxury of not teaching so many nights, I have to pay the piper, which means.... A return of the 7 a.m. classes! The good part of that is that it's only Tuesday and Thursday mornings, so I only have to get up at the crack of dawn twice a week instead of the three mornings as I've done in the past. My third class is smack in the middle of the day (12:00-12:50), which I'm hoping works out okay most of the time.
I am excited that a new start to the school year means Fall is around the corner! Fall = football, cooler temps, a change in wardrobe, colorful leaves, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas (well decorating for Christmas is technically done in the Fall), and my birthday (yea for gifts, boo for getting old)!

Finally Friday
Finally it's Friday! Is everyone as excited as I am? I'm weary because it's been so busy, but I'm also in a state of panic because next week is uber busy! Oh well, first I have a couple of days off with no plans, so resting up is the forecast!
Last night I had plans for the 4th night in a row. I normally have zero plans, but everything fell to this week. Isn't it always that way? Last night was more in line with Monday night in that I got to do something fun instead of attend meetings. My friend Daryl was in town from San Francisco this week and it has been several years since I have seen him.
He has been enjoying all the "local" eating establishments that they don't have out in San Fran. He mentioned Wataburger and some BBQ as some cravings that he's fulfilled, but last night he wanted Chuy's and I was happy to oblige!
My standard Chuy's dish...

Whew! What a week!
This has been such a busy week. I cannot believe it is only Wednesday night! I know everyone is probably feeling the same way with school just/or about to be starting. The highlight of my week so far has been Monday night. I participated in Dallas Restaurant Week and made a trip to III Forks. I went with my friend Billy, and we were so busy talking and eating that I didn't take a single photo (failed blogger of the year nominee right here folks). We had a tuna appetizer, III Forks Salad (for me) and Tomato Crab Bisque (for Billy), Filets, and for dessert, lemon cake & hot tea (for me) and strawberry shortcake & coffee (for Billy).
Here are some photos I borrowed from III Forks...
3/4 cup pecans, lightly toasted, plus pecans to garnish
1/2 cup apple cider
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 cup pecan oil
1/4 cup olive oil
8 cups greens, field greens or 8 cups spinach, washed &dried
2 granny smith apples, cored, sliced into thin wedges
1/2 cup danish blue cheese, crumbled
1~Combine ¾ cups pecans and apple cider in blender and puree. Pour mixture into large bowl.
2~Whisk in cider vinegar, maple syrup and dry mustard.
3~Combine oils and add to mixture, whisking until well combined. Makes about 2 ¼ cups dressing.
4~Heat vinaigrette slowly over low heat in saucepan.
5~Arrange salad plates with greens, sliced apples and crumbled blue cheese. Ladle on warm vinaigrette and sprinkle with toasted pecans.
Tuesday and today have not been near as fun. I've been crazy busy lawyering.
Yesterday I tried to go to the jail to visit a couple of my clients and was turned away because "there was an incident in Pod 5" and they couldn't let me back right away. Really, I didn't need to hear anymore than that. I have no business back where there is "an incident".
So today I had to go back for my visit and convince a client that although he believed that God told him to take a case to trial, that really wasn't going to work out so well for him. It went something like this: I know you said God told you to try this case, and while I'm in no position to question God, I'm wondering if you really interpreted his advise to you correctly? Could there be something lost in translation? Yeah, so we've got a plea scheduled for 9 a.m. tomorrow morning and I'm hoping he doesn't get any messages from higher beings tonight to change that plan or else, surprise, I'll be in trial tomorrow!
I had juvenile detention hearings today too. There were 10 of them because there were two groups of kids who got into trouble en mass. One group burglarized a home. Here's how my pow-wow with each of those kids went: You are REALLY lucky to be here in detention. Oh, you wonder why I'm saying that? Well because this is Texas pal. You know what that means? That means lots of people have guns. You know what they can do with those guns? Shoot people who break into their homes. Now, see how lucky you are to be here in detention instead of in the hospital or a funeral home?
In addition to that, I've had an associate faculty meeting at the college...both nights. It's a long story, but this semester I'm teaching at two different campuses, so I had to go to two different, but almost identical meetings (I mean 3 people did give the exact same speech...snooze fest!).
I cannot believe that it is only Wednesday. Have I said that already?

Collegiate Pumpkins
I made a trip to the Hobby Lobby last week. I was looking for some sconces, which I didn't locate, but I did enjoy taking in all the Fall and Christmas stuff that they have out.
Now I know some people like to complain and say "They have CHRISTMAS out already!", but y'all, sometimes it is seeing this Christmas display in August that keeps me from jumping off the roof because I am so sick and stinking tired of the 110 degree days! It gives me hope that cooler weather is around the corner.

The Help
Yesterday was a bear of a day for me. I mean when you are eating a peanut butter & jelly sandwich in your car on the way to the jail, you know you are having a day! Part of the rushing around was because I was going to the 3:40 showing of The Help.

Help the Horn
I honestly cannot stand to watch the coverage from the Horn of Africa. The famine and starvation there is just unimaginable. I've been watching for a while. ABC was the first major news channel covering the crisis. Now everyone has caught up. Anderson Cooper is there right now, along with Sanjay Gupta. Their coverage will shake you to your core.
The alert that Anderson sent out last night was that based on the current influx of donations and supplies, the World Food Program only has enough for the next month.
$1 can feed 4 children. Who of us couldn't spare a dollar, or ten, or even more.
I would suggest going to the USAWFP.org sight rather than the international site. If you try to donate at the regular WFP.org site, the that would cause a charge from the UK to show up on your card and then you might be hearing from your bank's fraud department.
That's what happened to me last night That's the word on the street!
Don't really think that you have any spare change to donate? You can still help. Take the quiz. How much do you know about what's going on in the Horn of Africa? Find out by taking this short quiz. For every person who takes it, a child will receive a warm meal thanks to an anonymous donor. Take the quiz, put your knowledge to the test and then challenge your friends! You can also take the quiz by texting 'QUIZ' to 27722.
Please help out.
Sorry, I was in a hurry earlier and should have added:
There are lots of places where you can donate beyond WFP. I mentioned WFP because that is where I decided to give last night. One factor that I used in coming to that decision is that they are currently on the ground serving people.
Doctors Without Borders are also on the ground. There are thousands of children losing their life to measles, (Measles!) as well as the plethora of other medical conditions that they are treating.
I know many of you like Compassion, and they also have a link for donations.
"600,000 kids on the brink of starvation. That should be a headline around the world."

A job for Lola?
I found this clip and was fascinated by it. Dogs in Court. I think that is a fabulous idea. Though it's only being used to aid victims having difficulty testifying, I'd like go on the record and say I'd like to have a dog in court also. I've dislike many of my clients enough that I've needed a calming presence in the courtroom as well.
I yelled at Lola before I watched the whole thing and said, "Hey Lola, it's time for you to get a job! We can even carpool to the courthouse." Then I saw the part that the dogs need to be quiet. Lola's out. She's the most talkative dog you'll ever run across.

Crazy, Stupid...
Crazy, Stupid... Weather. That's what I feel like writing about. That's all I've felt like
writing complaining about for 37 dang days in a row that it has been over a hundred. It's Hot, hot, hot. It's miserable. We're melting. It hasn't rained in over a month of Sundays. But I'll spare you anymore of that.
This weekend I went to do one of the few things that you can do right now in Texas. I saw a movie. I saw Crazy Stupid Love.
I saw a preview several months ago and thought that it looked like a good movie. If you haven't see it, here's the trailer...
I thought it was pretty good and it's got a great ensemble cast. I'd recommend it if you are like me, and need something to do to get out of the heat, and that and ice skating at the mall are the only two cool alternatives you can think of. Also a good choice if you live somewhere with a more pleasant climate and you just go see a movie to see a movie.

I'm not at all a fan of summer on a normal year. Then a summer rolls around like this one, where today is the 31st consecutive day of triple digit heat and every day in the 10 day forecast shows to continue this trend, and then, well, I hate summer's guts.
Summer has a few redeeming qualities for me:
I like that I normally have a little break from teaching;
I like that snowcones are everywhere; and
I like the fresh summer produce
Last weekend, when I met my parents to do the post-vacation Lola exchange, I received some of summer's redeeming qualities... pickled stuff.

The annual Osman C. Hooper Newspaper Contest recognizes the best weekly newspapers in Ohio and is named after an important Ohio journalist.
When the Ohio News Media Association was established in 1933 as the Ohio Newspaper Association, Osman Hooper was already a significant contributor to the organization. For many years he conducted the annual "Ohio Newspaper Show" which was held as part of the Buckeye Press Association convention in Columbus. At the turn of the century, the Buckeye Press Association, which represented weekly newspaper publishers, and the Associated Ohio Dailies were conducting separate events. ONA's founding was the result of their merger into a single state trade association.
It was also in 1933 that Hooper published one of several books, "The History of Ohio Journalism," which traces the beginnings of Ohio newspapers. At the 1937 ONA Convention, Hooper was presented a resolution citing "his part in the development of increasingly high standards for Ohio community papers" and his name was added to the annual weekly newspaper contest.
Hooper spent 58 years at The Columbus Dispatch, beginning as a telegraph editor in 1880. He was an editorial writer for nearly 20 years and was made literary editor in 1917. Hooper became a journalism professor at Ohio State University in 1918 and was named professor emeritus in 1932. Throughout his teaching career he continued to edit The Dispatch book page.
In 1925, Hooper established the Ohio Journalism Hall of Fame which is housed at Ohio State University and in 1939 he was inducted into the Journalism Hall of Fame. He died in 1941 at the age of 83.
