I hope I can pick up a few good tips from this forum to help me on my way. I am quite an oldie as far as phones are concerned and only used them for calls and texts but now that whole new wide world has opened up and virtually evrythings at our fingertips whenever and wherever we are, its scary in a way but we must move with the times.

Listen to Bertina Jones, Rooj Alwazir and Rev. Graylan Hagler:
"Can you hear me now?" Bertina Jones asked Monday at a demonstration outside the downtown office of Freddie Mac. Despite its pending seizure of her home in Prince George's County, Jones has found the government-backed mortgage lender difficult to reach. But after Monday's protest, which shut down its Seventh Street NW office, Freddie Mac seems eager to listen to this grandmother.
An hour after the demonstration, spokesman Brad German told the Washington Post that Freddie Mac was looking for a "positive resolution" to Jones' situation. The merits of the case, not the boisterous action organized by Occupy Our Homes DC, prompted Freddie Mac's sudden change of heart, explained German.
While activists with Occupy DC are hopeful that Freddie Mac will renegotiate Jones' mortgage, they're prepared to take action if things don't work out. "If they are trying to evict her, we're literally going to use our bodies as shields, and Bertina Jones is down as well," Rooj Alwazir, an organizer with Occupy Our Homes DC, told TheFightBack.
"I did everything that Freddie Mac asked me to do," Jones said at an impromptu press conference held outside the building entrance, now closed and guarded by police. "These banks… make you think that they're going to work with you and they're going to modify loans, but really they aren't. It's a shame. It's a deception. We bailed them out with our taxpayers' money and they never tried to help any of the homeowners."
In 2008, Jones was unemployed for several months and fell behind on her mortgage. Bank of America agreed to renegotiate her mortgage, but then repeatedly lost her paperwork, Jones said. In 2010, Bank of America foreclosed on her home, which it then sold to Freddie Mac later that year.
In a letter to Senators Barbara Mikulski and Ben Cardin, as well as Rep. Steny Hoyer, Legal Aid Bureau of Maryland, which is assisting but not representing Jones, wrote, "This foreclosure was unnecessary and was caused by Bank of America's loss of documents and inattention to the process."
"We're here to say enough is enough," Rev. Graylan Hagler, senior minister at Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ, told protesters surrounding the back door entrance to the building. "You've got Freddie Mac, a government sponsored enterprise… [which has] demonstrated that they are willing to allow homeowners to be thrown on the street without any care, without any concern, and we're going to stand here keeping this building closed."
Shortly afterwards, Jones and Rev. Hagler, who along with the other protesters had been barred from entering the building, were invited up to meet with Freddie Mac.
Following the meeting, Jones told reporters, "I'm not an icon, by no means. I'm just a homeowner trying to save her home." There are many like her, particularly in Prince George's County, which is majority African American.
"Other homeowners need to come down and stand up and be counted, especially in the PG [where] they have been hard hit," Jones said. "Do I think it's racial? No. But most of the people in PG are black and they're just taking our wealth. That's all that I have is a house. I'm not Romney [with] a daddy with money. I've worked for everything I have."

One thing growing up with acne is I always felt like there was too much advice. I know that it sounds weird but there was always so many people telling me so many things that always contradicted each other. So I thought I would share the things that I have tried and tested and really helped me.
Tieing your hair up
It is such a small thing but my god it made a difference, keeping the hair off your face prevents the grease in your hair going onto your skin making spots even if you have just washed it. Also, if you have a fringe try and keep it off your skin for a bit, or until you skin is cleared up.
Moisturiser for days
Believe me, when I say the more moisturiser you put on your face the better. In some cases, people actually get spots because your skin in actually dehydrated and to hydrate itself your skin produces more oil and in turn makes more spots. So try and moisturise as much as possible.
Don't be afraid to talk to a doctor
If you feel your skin is really bad and you are getting to the point of thinking there is no cure don't be afraid to talk to someone about it. They won't turn you away or prescribe you with billions of pills but they will help with everything they can to help you.
Don't be fooled by overnight fixes
No matter what people say or how amazing it would be. But there are no overnight fixes for acne. It has nothing to do with the spots you currently have on your face it is a hormone that needs basically teaching to behave.
It's not because you have eaten too much fast food
Lots of people actually think that acne is from eating too much McDonalds. But it has nothing to do with that at all. If you adapted your diet to healthier food then yes you would see your skin clear up a bit, but you will still have acne. As I said before it is a hormone condition.

Blonde 'repeatedly booted boyfriend's face' when he refused early morning sex session
COPS have arrested a woman after she allegedly repeatedly kicked her boyfriend in the face when he would not sleep with her.
Bleach-blonde Jennifer Ferguson apparently planned a quick romp with her partner at 6.30am last Wednesday inside their Florida home.
But the 34-year-old allegedly lashed out when her boyfriend Christopher Bodden spurned her advances as he tried to get some sleep.
Mr Bodden, 32, who has been in a relationship with Ferguson for two years, told police that she "became upset at him when he refused to have sex with her this morning".
After he turned her down, she is said to have started kicking him in the face while he was lying in bed.
Cops who went to the couple's house on Port St. Lucie noted he had "significant swelling to his right cheek bone and redness to his left cheek bone".
Ferguson, who was allegedly drunk at the time of the assault, also kicked a wall and then hit her own head against a wall in protest at her boyfriend's sex refusal.
She is now being held in county jail on a $500 bond on a charge of misdemeanour battery.
This is not the first time women have attacked their other halves in a fit of sex-induced rage.
Last year, 45-year-old Wendy Luper attacked her ex-husband Michael Vaccaro as they attempted an impromptu romp in a car.
Horny Lupper hurled an object at Mr Vaccaro's head after he apparently suggested a tame sex position that was not spicy enough for his raunchy ex.

Chinese Calligraphy Kids T-Shirts
This is a combination of two sketches from a recent world trip - one of a water calligrapher in Shanghai, China and the other of a dragon statue in Kyoto, Japan. The calligrapher is direct from my sketch book, created with brush pen. The dragon is a digital painting based on a sketch of a fountain. Note the writing in the top corner was done by the water calligrapher I was sketching. He didn't speak any English so drew for me instead.

GPS Leads A Woman Into A 100-Feet Deep Lake In Canada
16/05/2016 4:47 PM IST | Updated 15/07/2016 8:26 AM IST
Ivan Mehta Tech News Editor
It seems technology will not always lead you home. A woman in Canada drove right into a lake due to an error in the navigation system.
The 23-year-old woman was driving on Thursday night in a town called Tobermory, Ontario. Since the area was not familiar to her she was driving with the assistance of a GPS device. As reported by Toronto Sun, the driving conditions were very difficult around the area and there was a lot of fog as well.
The driver took a wrong turn and from the boat launch and the car landed straight into the Georgian bay. She was able to roll the windows out and get out the car before a power failure would have taken place. She was driving a red Toyota Yaris. The lake is almost 100 feet deep and the water was almost 4-degree celsius.
"How the launch works, it's not an airborne thing. It kind of goes off the road and the launch just drops all of a sudden. So she would have been driving on the road, and then all of a sudden just dropped and hit the water," said Constable Katrina Rubinstein-Gilbert in a police report.
The police also said that there were no injuries to the driver. There were also no charges pressed. The car however sunk completely to the bottom of the lake.

see Athens, visit Delphi and Meteora, and possibly Sounion;
see islands of Hydra, Paros, Naxos, Mykonos, and Santorini.
Do you have any suggestions for shortening this?
2. Choice of Places to visit:
- We would like to fly in to or out of Santorini, taking the ferry in the other
direction. Do you think it makes any difference which way?
- How much in advance should we make our
Athens-island airline reservation,
and island hotel reservations?
- Regarding Hydra: Robert wants to stay overnight. He thinks it will
be more enjoyable and prettier at night, but he thinks one night
is enough. What do you think? Can you recommend places to stay
and eat?
- Do you recommend staying in Paros so we can do day trips to
Naoussa and Anitparos?
- Is Meteora worth the long trip? Should we go on tour bus? Are
there restrictions on women visitors so that the trip wouldn't be as
nice for Maria? Which is more interesting Meteora or Delphi?
- How long do you need to spend at Delphi to really appreciate it?
One overnight bus trip to Meteora only stops at Delphi for about
an hour or an hour and a half.
- How do you rate going to Sounion for a half day?
Thanks Robert and Maria

Help with trip to Greece and Greek Isles Mid May, Mid June 2012

I'm sure the Greek experts will soon appear, but in the meantime I'll make some comments.
I don't think you need two days for Hydra. It's a very tiny island. The hydrofoil from the port in Piraeus will get you there in about 1.5 hours, so it's an easy day trip. When we visited, we spent most of the day walking around the island, then took an early evening boat back to Athens.
My husband took a day trip to Delphi from Athens, leaving early in the morning, returning in the evening. Again, I don't think you need to split up your time by staying overnight there.
I would cut at least one island from this itinerary, and spend more time in the islands that most appeal to you. I think one day trips ( Naxos, Mykonos) are more trouble than they're worth. We absolutely loved Naxos and Paros, and you could easily spend a few days in each place without even scratching the surface of all there is to do and see.
My last suggestion ( should've been my first, I guess) is that I would save Athens for the end of your trip and try to go directly to one of your island destinations first. That way, if you run into any weather delays/cancellations from the islands, you don't have to worry. And it's less backtracking.
Sounion is a little over an hour from Athens, and again if you spent enough time in Athens, you could make that one of your day trips. Or, you could spend the night at The Aegeon Beach Hotel, which is the hotel closest to the Temple of Poseidon. How do I know this? We're going there next month!
Anyway, have a wonderful time in Greece!

Do you really mean 2012, or will you be travelling in 2013? If your trip is only two weeks away, you need to get busy booking flights and a hotel in Athens. Hotels on the islands will have vacancies during that period, and ferries won't be busy, except for the three-day Pentecost weekend on June 1-4, so you have more time to plan.
It's good that you have left a 2 day pad at the end of the trip, but if you save Athens for last that would act as your pad, and give you extra time for other places. You are lucky that you have 24 days for the trip, which is more than most travellers have.
I visited Delphi on a day trip, but would have liked more time there. Find a tour that stops overnight at both Delphi and Meteora. Females have no problems visiting Meteora as long as they observe the rules of dress.
One day on Naxos and one day on Mykonos (even with your + day of travel) isn't enough time. If you are interested in ancient sites, allow an extra day to visit Delos, reached easiest from Mykonos. There are also day trips to Delos/Mykonos from both Naxos and Paros. Recommend you choose between Naxos and Paros, and not try to see both, unless you can squeeze at least three days into each.
Report Abuse
...or skip the stay on Mykonos and do a day trip there from Naxos or Paros. That would give you enough time for both Naxos and Paros. Antiparos is my favourite island, so recommend going there for a day. It's quicker to get there from Parikia, but Naoussa is only about 30 minutes further away.
There are also round-island boat trips from Antiparos, which are great fun. They stop at uninhabited islands for swims, and include BBQ lunches with wine and ouzo. Allow a full day for the round-island trip.

During your stay in Athens, you can easily visit Sounion,you can book a tour through your hotel or in one of the numerous travel agencies at Syntagma Square.
They usually offer afternoon tours, but if you would manage to have a rental car, you could enjoy one of the nicest sunsets, equal to the famous Santorini sunset.
Hydra is one of my favorite islands and i think it is worth an overnight.. When all the 1 day cruise visitors are gone it becomes quiet and more beautiful, there are plenty of good small hotels there.
Have a look at the following : Mistral Hotel, Orloff Hotel, Hydra Hotel,Leto hotel.
Hydra becomes more busy during the week ends, when Athenians spend a romantic break ( it is a very popular destinations for couples celebrating...), hotel prices are usually lower during the week ( Mon - Thu)
Since you will have more than enough time, you could also do the Delphi-Meteora tour by your self with a rental car.
This way you could overnight in Delphi, drive with no rush to meteora, and even add a day in Pilion, one of Greece's nicest mountains with 24 very beautiful villages.
Pilion has not only beautiful mountain villages ( have a look at Makrinitsa, Portaria, Tsangarada, Milies) but also villages on the sea and many small beaches.
In May Pilion will be full of flowers, all houses have amazing gardens!! This will give you the opportunity to see something different from all the touristy sites.
The Pilion area and the nice city of Volos are famous in Greece for good food.

Hi All,
I am sorry I didn't make it clear. Yes the trip is for 2012. We are flying to London tomorrow for a week, then train to Bath & then we fly to Athens from Gatwick Airport on May 18th.
We have to do Athens first because we have a home exchange that is available until May 31 only. We won't stay in Athens that long.
The replies you have given us are really good. We also e-mailed our home exchangers and just got some good comments. I will post some of them later.

I agree with everyone. I'd say take out an island or take out some time at the end in Athens. Personally, I prefer Naxos over Paros but not all would agree. Naxos is a large island and has some gorgeous beaches. What I really like about it though, is that it's not as dependent on tourism as other island. I feel like you can get a feel for island living a bit more here. Driving all over the island is a treat as the landscape is so rugged and the mountain villages are so quaint.
I also would highly recommend a trip to Delos, easiest from Mykonos. Delos a highlight of Greece, to me. Mykonos is Mykonos. Some people love it, some people hate it. You'll be there during the slower season so I say, spend a few days there, maybe cut out Paros? I absolutely love the Chora with all the winding streets. It's fun to get lost among the quieter residential areas just to suddenly turn a corner and end up among the shops and restaurants.
That being said though, I do love Antiparos, and a trip around the island would be awesome. We did that in kayaks one time and had the time of our lives! We did this as a day trip from Naxos. It was a long day but definitely doable.
Meteora is also a great option. LOVED it and hope to go back. The scenery is something you'll never see again and the monasteries are interesting. Not a problem for women visiting. Just have her shoulders covered and they have skirts hanging for women to grab and put on if they need one.
This time of year you can do all the locations, besides Athens, without reservations, if you choose to do so. There will be people standing at the ferry dock holding signs for their hotels, guestrooms. They will take you to see it and if you don't like what you see, you have the option of refusing and asking them to take you back to the ferry dock.

With a home exchange in Athens you have that part already sorted. I would recommend flying from there to Santorini, then making your way by ferry to Naxos/Paros, then Mykonos, and finally back to Athens by flight or ferry. It would also work with the same itinerary in reverse. Check the Aegean Airlines and Olympic Air websites for seat availability.
While in Athens you could arrange your trip to Delphi and Meteora, either by booking a rental car or a tour offered by Key, Chat, or another company. If you save that portion of your trip until last, it would still offer the pad on the mainland we all recommend in case of weather or strike delays.

Most organized tours to Delphi/Meteora are very rushed and they skip parts of the sites! Delphi ruins are spread all over a hill side, and seems like tours commonly skip lower site (Athena Pronaea Temple/Gymnasium) and the ancient stadium on the further uphill point. Most visitors need at least 2 and a half hours for Delphi sites, plus about 45 minutes to one hour for the museum that holds some very interesting exhibits. Landscape is very scenic too, and been able to be around on early morning or late evening gives a completely different experience due to less crowds and sun light giving a different angle-and great photo ops.
Ditto for Meteora on morning and evening. Note that there are 6 monasteries accessible to public, and although I understand that some one would get monastery overload if visiting them all, it would be nice to be able and pick a couple of monasteries that YOU like rather than which is convenient to tour company, and it is importnat to been able to walk around a bit and soak in the ambience/scenery. Getting from Kalambaka or Kastraki to the monasteries plus walking/climbing among the monasteries is time consuming, but quite an experience its self. Each monastery has different timetables and different off days
I think hiring a car and spend one night to Delphi and at least one night in Meteora is a good idea. If car hire is not an option, and you feel like you can not spare more than a day, I would consider to visit only Delphi or only Meteora and make my way there on public transport rather than a bus tour.
I think you got good advice about the islands, but I am a bit confused about you mentioning Naoussa as a day trip from Paros... Naoussa is a town ON Paros island, maybe I didn't get what you mean?
I think that on fast paced trips that try to take a lot in, it is important to prioritize what you'd like to see/do on each location rather than list locations only... For example "I want to go on Santorini to take a caldera boat trip/visit a winery" or "I want to visit Naxos for its great beaches/To explore the mountain villages and visit the ancient sites" or similar.
If you mention your specific interests and why you decided on those locations, you may get some more specific advice too : )

Mariha, I think Maria meant "staying in Parikia and visiting Naoussa and Antiparos as day trips" from there. As you know, the port town on Paros is referred to in the ferry booking websites simply as "Paros" rather than Parikia or Paroikia, so the confusion is understandable. Indeed, Parikia would be the most convenient base for day trips to both.
Maria, if you decide to skip staying on Mykonos and doing a day trip to Delos/Mykonos instead, recommend you stay in Naoussa and make the trip from there. The same excursion boats that go from Naxos stop at Naoussa on Paros as well. They pick up passengers at Naoussa after leaving Naxos, and drop them off there before returning to Naxos. That means passengers boarding at Naoussa spend about two hours less on the boat.
Report Abuse
If you look on viator.com you can get an idea of the types of tours and costs that are available... although we booked ours at the hotel after we got there. I think they have a combination Delphi/Meteora trip which might be what you are looking for. I have tried traveling to delphi on my own and stayed there overnight, aside from the ruins and views of the valley there really isnt anything else to see... Delphi is two streets with hotels and shops on them.
Also, I think you can make less days for Santorini, because while it is very gorgeous to take a walk along the cliffs in the evening and the food is pretty good but the swimming is much worse then on other islands... and if you are going in cruise ship season then it will be very packed by the horrid cruise people. and it is better to ferry into Santorini and fly back out... but it may depend on pricing too I would go with which flight is cheaper.
Report Abuse
OH I forgot to mention incase you have lots of strikes like taxi and public transport strikes in Athens you can still get around if you buy a ticket with a doubledecker tour bus... hopefully your hotel will be near a stop on its route it goes all the way to the port.
Report Abuse
In Delphi there is a lot to see, especially if you have a rental car.
Amfissa is a beautiful town,at a stones throw from Delphi, and in about 35 km you can reach the very quaint town of Galaxidi, and also Itea, which is between Amfissa and Galaxidi.
Of course one can also overnight in neighbouring Arahova instead of Delphi, which is a very nice mountain village with shops, bars, restaurants etc.

...Plus in Delphi its self there is Agelos&Eva Sikelianos museum to be visited, local municipality building holds interesting exhibitions from time to time, and E4 European hiking path pass from there and there are plenty of hiking opportunities in the area ; )

Can you believe this coming weekend is the last one in October. Our astronomer, Joe Rao, pointed out on his Facebook page last night that this coming Sunday morning would also once have been the time we turned the clocks back to Standard Time.
Prior to 2007, when the Energy Act of 2005 took effect, we used to "fall back" during the final weekend of October, and "spring forward" during the first week of April. Now, we begin Daylight Saving Time during the second week in March and end it during the first week of November.
In our 2007 edition, we published a campaign called How Much Daylight are We Really Saving? In it, we questioned both the former and new DST dates and proposed a new system we thought would work better.
Give it a look and see what you think. Do you prefer the new DST schedule, the old one, or something completely different?

The swimming naked baby from the cover of Nirvana's Nevermind re-enacted the image for the iconic album's 25th anniversary.
However, this time, he wore swimming trunks.
Now 25, Spencer Elden wanted to go naked for the photo, but photographer John Chapple thought some clothing would work better. Elden recently told the New York Post that the 25th anniversary of Nevermind was very important to him.
"It's strange that I did this for five minutes when I was four months old and it became this really iconic image," he said.
In 1991, photographer Kirk Weddle approached Elden's parents to see if he could use baby Spencer in a photoshoot for a little known band at the time. The shoot lasted only 15 seconds, and the Eldens were paid $200 for their efforts. The dollar bill attached to a fish hook was digitally added later.
Earlier in September, photographer John Chapple paid Spencer $200 to do it again. The new image was shot in a lap pool in the Rose Bowl Aquatics Center in Pasadena, California.
Elden did this once before for the 15th anniversary in 2011.
According to Kurt Cobain, the idea for the album cover came from watching a TV show on water births with Dave Grohl. After mentioning it to Geffen, the record company thought a water birth would be too graphic for an album cover, and settled on photographing a baby swimming in water.
Nevermind turned 25 on Saturday and has sold over 30 million copies worldwide, including over a million in Canada.

This application claims the benefit of the earlier filing date of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/695,590, filed Jun. 30, 2005, titled "Echo Tops 0-2 Hour Forecast," the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.
This invention was made with United States government support under Contract No. FA8721-05-C-0002 awarded by the Federal Aviation Administration. The government may have certain rights in the invention.
The invention relates generally to weather radar image processing and more particularly to generating short-term predictions of the location of radar echo tops associated with weather events.
Air traffic congestion worldwide has increased significantly in recent years. The congestion often leads to air traffic inefficiencies, especially when weather along flight routes impacts normal flight schedules. These inefficiencies frequently include longer flight times and increased fuel consumption. Air traffic management personnel often make critical real-time decisions regarding whether to alter flight routes and schedule times based on weather events. The ability to predict the occurrence and location of convective weather events has proven to be particularly challenging.
High resolution precipitation forecasts have been employed to assist in air traffic management. For example, rapidly updated precipitation forecasts (e.g., forecasts issued in 5 to 6 minute intervals) extending out to two hours have been used. However, precipitation forecasts are not always adequate for determining available en route airspace. Significant precipitation sometimes occurs in regions where the cloud tops associated with the storms are moderately low (e.g., less than 30 kft). In such instances, reliance on a precipitation forecast alone can result in significant changes to flight routes to avoid the precipitation regions even though the associated cloud tops are sufficiently low for aircraft to safely fly above the weather.
In one aspect, the invention features a method for generating a short-term forecast of echo tops. A plurality of echo tops images each generated for a different time is received. An echo tops growth rate for a pixel in one of the echo tops images is determined in response to a value of the pixel in the respective echo tops image and a value of a respective pixel in at least one of the other echo tops images. An echo tops maximum value for the pixel is also determined. An echo tops predicted value for the pixel is generated in response to the one of the echo tops images, the echo tops growth rate and the echo tops maximum value.
In another aspect, the invention features a method for generating a short-term forecast of echo tops. An echo tops image is received, and an echo tops initiation height and an echo tops maximum value are determined for a pixel in a convective initiation region of the echo tops image. An echo tops predicted value for the pixel is generated in response to the echo tops initiation height, the echo tops maximum value and a predicted precipitation value.
In another aspect, the invention features a system for generating a short-term forecast of echo tops. The system includes an echo tops image processor, a tracker module, an advection module in communication with the tracker module, and a forecast application module in communication with the echo tops image processor and the advection module. The echo tops image processor is configured to receive an echo tops image and to determine echo tops maximum values for the echo tops image. The tracker module receives a plurality of weather radar images and generates an array of tracking vectors in response to the weather radar images. The advection module is configured to receive the weather radar images and applies the array of tracking vectors to one of the weather radar images to generate a weather radar prediction image. The forecast application module generates an echo tops prediction image in response to the weather radar prediction image, the echo tops image and the echo tops maximum values.
In yet another aspect, the invention features a method of providing weather radar data and echo tops data to a user. A weather radar prediction image is determined in response to a plurality of weather radar images. Each weather radar image is representative of a value of a meteorological parameter at a geographical location at a different time. An echo tops prediction image is determined in response to a plurality of echo tops images. A combined prediction image is generated by replacing the value of the meteorological parameter for a pixel in the weather radar prediction image with a value of a respective pixel in the echo tops prediction image if the value of the meteorological parameter exceeds a threshold value.
In still another aspect the invention features a method of providing weather radar data and echo tops data to a user. According to the method, a combined prediction image is displayed. The combined prediction image indicates a value of a meteorological parameter as a function of location for a geographical area where the value of the meteorological parameter does not exceed a threshold value. Conversely, the combined prediction image indicates an echo tops value for each location where the value of the meteorological parameter exceeds the threshold value.
The above and further advantages of this invention may be better understood by referring to the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like numerals indicate like structural elements and features in the various figures. The drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating the principles of the invention.
Observations have shown that pilots while en route routinely fly over low echo top weather even in areas of moderate to heavy precipitation. In contrast, pilots generally avoid storms with the higher cloud tops (e.g., overshooting tops) due to their localized turbulence. Flight deviations and route blockage due to storms are common in terminal airspace where aircraft climb to cruising altitude but may not be able to fly over storm tops. The present invention relates to a method and system for generating a short-term forecast of echo tops for convective weather events. Advantageously, information about vertical storm structure provided in an echo tops forecast can assist pilots and air traffic management personnel in recognizing available traffic routes during convective weather events. Notably, aircraft are not necessarily diverted around regions of significant predicted precipitation if the echo tops forecast indicates that the cloud tops associated with these regions are sufficiently low for safe flight over these regions.
Features of interest present in the weather radar image 10 are indicated by corresponding primed references in the predicted image 30. Typically, the features exhibit increases (growth) or decreases (decay) in precipitation values. Preferably, the prediction image 30 is one of many images generated for different forecast times out to a maximum forecast time (e.g., 2 hours). A full set of prediction images can be displayed to a user as an image loop. Alternatively, a current weather radar image can be modified to include a contour of a predicted precipitation intensity level for one or more forecast times. Optionally, recent weather radar images (e.g., images obtained in a preceding hour) can be displayed prior to the prediction images to generate a longer image loop that includes both recent and predicted data. An image loop having recent and predicted images provides the user with an improved perception of the evolution of convective weather in the geographical area.
Referring again to
The height difference between cloud tops associated with significant precipitation regions and flight altitudes sometimes exceeds an acceptable minimum difference (e.g., 5 kft) so that air traffic can pass safely over such regions. Referring again to
Large scale weather features persist longer than small scale weather features. For example, supercells and multicellular clusters or lines persist longer than airmass cells. It is generally more difficult to predict where airmass cells will regenerate after collapse. In contrast, supercells and line storms typically grow new cells along preferred boundaries and produce new groupings of cells. Consequently, features in the precipitation images are classified (step 120) according to a weather type (e.g., convective, stratiform or other type). Each weather type can include subclassifications. For example, convective weather can be further classified as a line storm, a large cell storm or a small cell storm (e.g., airmass cell). Tracking vectors are generated (step 130) independently and combined (step 140) using the classified features into a single vector set (i.e., advection map). The vector set is used to advect features in the current or latest precipitation image (after any additional processing) to new locations in a precipitation prediction image. Features present in the current or latest ET image are advected using the same tracking vector set since the echo tops data and precipitation data are derived from the same radar sensors and have similar characteristics.
Similar to precipitation features, features in ET images typically grow or decay over time. Rates of growth and decay are determined by differencing previously obtained ET images according to a Lagrangian technique. For example, previous ET images are advected forward in time using the advection maps so that common features substantially overlap in a spatial sense for a common time. The images are differenced to determine (step 150) the growth or decay rates for pixels within the features. A spatial image filter can be applied to the difference image to smooth spurious difference values. The resulting values are used to extrapolate echo tops values for different forecast times.
The statistics of previous storms within a region of interest are used to estimate (step 160) the ET maximum values (i.e., echo tops "caps") within the region at various forecast times. The estimated values are established by determining a distribution of echo tops values within a predefined image region surrounding each pixel.
Other data such as an environmental height stability field can be used in combination with or in place of the historical echo tops values in the region of interest. In one embodiment, convective cloud top potential (CCTP) data available as a product of the Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) numerical weather prediction model from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) are used instead of the 98th percentile values. CCTP data correspond to a height field that represents the maximum height a parcel of unstable air can reach in the atmosphere, i.e., the maximum height of the overshooting cloud top. In a preferred embodiment, the greater of the 98th percentile value and the CCTP value for each pixel is selected as the ET maximum value for the pixel.
Convective weather can develop during the forecast interval in or near regions where little or no precipitation currently exists. Consequently, it is desirable to predict the initiation of convective weather and determine the echo tops for such weather at various forecast times. ET initiation heights for convective weather are determined (step 170) by determining the mode of the echo tops distribution for low level precipitation ranges and by determining the cloud heights for initiating proto-cells in regions determined to be susceptible to convective development. In one embodiment, the cloud heights are derived from satellite data. As used herein, a proto-cell is a cumulus cloud that will develop into a convective storm. The mode of the echo tops distribution and the proto-cell heights are combined for the regions of initiation to determine the ET initiation heights. In one embodiment, combination includes selecting the greater of the mode value and the proto-cell height value of each pixel as the ET initiation height for the pixel.
ET prediction images can be generated using two distinct models: a linear growth model and a convective initiation model. According to the ET linear growth model applied in step 180, echo tops determined to be growing in height are extrapolated to greater values as graphically represented in
The ET convective initiation model is applied in step 190 to features determined to be subject to convective initiation. According to this heuristic model, the growth of initiating convective cells can be determined according to the forecast precipitation (VIL) value and a bi-linear "growth function." The convective initiation model includes a family of bi-linear growth functions. A particular growth function used to determine future growth is identified for each pixel according to an ET initiation level.
ET predicted values generated by application of the linear growth model and the convective initiation model are blended (step 200) to generate a single ET prediction image. In one embodiment, blending includes determining for each pixel the greater of the two ET predicted values provided by the models.
The method 100 can be implemented using any of a variety of processor and software modules. For example, a system 80 for generating a short-term forecast of echo tops according to an embodiment of the invention is shown in the block diagram of
Preferably precipitation prediction images and ET prediction images are displayed to a user in an easily interpretable display format. Separate display windows can be used to display a precipitation prediction image 58 and an ET prediction image 62 as shown in
The precipitation prediction image 58 indicates ranges of precipitation (VIL) values according to a color key to the right of the image 58. In an alternative embodiment, the precipitation values are represented by intensity (e.g., grayscale). In the illustrated image 58, each color corresponds to a range of precipitation values and each range is referenced by a range reference index P1 to P6. Range P1 indicates the lightest precipitation range while range P6 indicates the greatest precipitation range. Two large-scale storms 66 and 70 are present in the image 58 and include regions having significant precipitation rates that extend up to range P4 and range P6, respectively. Other small-scale precipitation features 74 are shown having only a light precipitation range P1.
The ET prediction image 62 indicates echo tops as a function of location according to height ranges indexed as E1 to E4. For example, E1 through E4 can indicate ET height ranges up to 20 kft, greater than 20 kft to 30 kft, greater than 30 kft to 40 kft, and greater than 40 kft, respectively. Features in the ET prediction image 62 are indicated by the same reference number as the corresponding features in the precipitation prediction image 58.
The precipitation prediction image 58 can be interpreted to include hazardous zones in regions of higher precipitation rates (e.g., VIL values in ranges P3 to P6); however, as described above, these regions are not necessarily a hazard if the associated cloud tops are below certain heights. A user may have to repeatedly reference both prediction images 58, 62 in an attempt to determine whether such precipitation regions are available to air traffic above certain altitudes.
The present invention relates to a method and system for providing weather radar data and echo tops data to a user. Advantageously, the data are displayed to users such as pilots and air traffic management personnel in a convenient single image. Users can quickly determine whether high precipitation regions include cloud tops that should be avoided for flight safety without resorting to observation of multiple displays. Consequently the opportunities for confusion and mistake are significantly reduced and the response time for decisions on rerouting or delaying air traffic can be decreased.
Referring to
The resulting image 78 is displayed (step 340) to a user as a single image using colors to represent precipitation ranges P1 and P2, and echo tops ranges E3 to E5. Optionally, contours (shown as bold lines) are generated (step 330) in the combined predicted image 78 to visually differentiate or distinguish image regions having echo tops values in predetermined "adjacent" ranges. In one embodiment, the contour is displayed as a colored line. As illustrated, the contours contrasts echo tops values in ranges E2 and E3.
Although the combined prediction image 78 is described above as a single image, it should be recognized that pairs of precipitation prediction images and ET prediction images can be processed according to the method 300. Each pair of images corresponds to a single forecast time. The resulting combined prediction images can be arranged in a looping image to display the time evolution of weather to the user over a range of forecast times (e.g., 2 hours). Optionally, historical precipitation images and historical ET images obtained over a recent time (e.g., a preceding hour) can be processed to generate combined historical images. A looping image can be generated that includes both the combined historical images and the combined prediction images. The extended time of such a looping image provides the user with an improved perception of the evolution of precipitation and cloud tops.
ET prediction images generated according to the invention can be provided to air traffic management facilities thus enabling improvements in route capacity and reroute efficiency for expected periods of adverse weather. The situational awareness resulting from the prediction of three-dimensional storm structure facilitates a rapid decision-making process that often requires coordination among multiple traffic management centers. Moreover, the combination of echo tops data and precipitation data in a single prediction image conveniently conveys critical information to users so that the need to reference and interpret multiple images is eliminated.
While the invention has been shown and described with reference to specific embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Rammus Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Rammus is (in my opinion) one of the best tanks in the game, he is a giant meat shield, that can deal almost as much as he can take. Every team dreads seeing a Rammus on the other team and your team will love you for it :). I usually play rammus laning but he is a very good jungler aswell and have experimenting with jungling and didn't really enjoy it to be honest but i,ve put in a guide for it aswell for all you junglers out there :).
-Best tank in game
-great damage output
-can take a heap of damage
-good escape
-can tank towers
-can jungle
- Most people rely on you]
- your not invincible :(
Early - Mid - Late Game
Early game
Early game you should be focusing on last hitting minions whenever you can and abusing the enemy at your tower with taunt only do this if they are harassing you into the ground and have gotten a bit cocky, and have forgotten you even as a threat, then put em in their place and let the turret do the work and you might even grab a quick kill. Although it is great if you're pushing their tower instead.
Mid game you will be either in a team fight, pushing a lane, ganking or just trying to get some good farm in or even trying to get red or blue buff, i like to let someone more suitable to grab the red and blue buff.
Late Game is when the proper team fights have begun during this time you will be pushing or defending mid or another lane, if you know you can take the other team and be a good tank and initiate the fight then communicate with your team so they know what's going on, and you might just win the team fight, and pushing your way to their inhibitor or even the win.
Skill Sequence
Initiate with a Powerball, Puncturing Taunt the nearest carry, Defensive Ball Curl it to soak up the damage and Tremors to deal some damage, remember to not let them near your squishies there is nothing worth all of your carries dying and not being able to do any damage, if you can taunt them to stop doing damage to your carries and hope your carries survive.
Item Explanation
Mercury's Treads - You will usually get this item every game it gives a fair bit of magic resist and reduces debuffs by quite a bit, you could pick up a Ninja Tabi if their entire team is physical then sure pick it up, it gives some armour and a chance to dodge which is always good :)
Aegis of the Legion - This is a great item, most people pass it by due to its poor stats but its aura that makes it great it will give you and your allies some armour and magic resist and giving yourself health aswell.
Thornmail - Has perfect synergy with your thornmail and your Defensive Ball Curl, the more people hit you the more they punish themselves :). Apart from its great passive it has the most armour in the game and is a item made for rammus.
Banshee's Veil - Apart from giving you extra health, mana and magic resist, this item will block one spell from you can make you much harder to kill when they're first spell doesn't do its job properly.
Randuin's Omen - Pretty decent item but because of its nerf i decide not to get a Heart of Gold. Even because its nerf it still gives you a lot of armour and some health with a very good slow if your chasing down an enemy.
Guardian Angel - By this point you want to sell your dorans shield and grab this bad boy, usually you wouldnt be able to get up to this item but if you,ve farmed well and gotten some kills and assists you may be able to get this a little early. Anyway this item rocks, the extra magic resist will make those AP champs do **** all damage to you now, you should be a giant meatshield and taking on heaps and heaps of damage.
Haven't really jungled much with Rammus never really thought of him that way, but it works. Jungling the first skill you'd want to get is get a Defensive Ball Curl and your first item of choice should be a pretty standard Cloth Armor 5 health pots, this will allow you to take blue buff quickly and still be in the jungle for longer. Remember to take smite though like any good jungler would. Also this is the route I take.
The route I take:
1- Blue Buff first - remember to pop that health pot the second the big guy hits you
2- The wolf camp
3- Wraith camp
4- Red Buff
5- The big golem guys - remember to have your smite ready though
Repeat or recall.
By the time your level 4 you can even go off ganking if you feel the need, if a lane needs some help then go help them, better to lose jungling time then a tower. Although i usually like to gank around level 6.
Marks - To be honest Im not sure what to get with rammus as i usually build him pure tank so i decided to with a standard Greater Mark of Desolation.
Seal - For Seals i decided to grab Greater Seal of Armor for more armour and a advantage earlier in-game and its good for jungling too.
Glyphs - For Glyphs i got Greater Glyph of Magic Resist just to get me more magic resist.
Quints - For Quints i got the Greater Quintessence of Armor but i suppose getting Greater Quintessence of Health is still a viable choice.
Summoner Abilities
What I Use
Flash - I pretty much get this for every champion because i find it a good way to get away and a good way to catch up to an enemy, remember to use it through walls it can give you heaps of ground that your chaser needs to pick up and most likely you'll get away.
Exhaust - A preferable preference, good for catching enemies who are running and can greatly reduce the other team's carry effectiveness. But these are just the abilities that i use you can grab what you want but this is just what i use :).
Ghost - You can get this but it is more of an escaping ability and you,ve already got your powerball for that :L. but this plus powerball will make you go super fast.
Ignite - if your looking for that early first blood then i suppose you could get this but i usually let the carry get this because in the end they will need the kill more.
Teleport - if you like getting back into the fight and being able to level up then go for it its just not my thing though.
Heal - If you want to get first blood its good for bating enemies into it when your low on health and then you suddenly have half health, and you get the kill :).
Cleanse - Good for getting out of stuns or slows but i always forget to use it xD.
Do Not Get
Clairvoyance - let the support get this.
Clarity - Can be good early game but it is really **** later game and wont really help you much.
Fortify - no. not for our brick ****house
Revive - no.
Thanks for reading my guide, please leave a comment if you found any spelling mistakes or if you think it was good :D.
