PERSONAL HISTORY about the writer's experience managing his family farm in Pakistan. After finishing college at Dartmouth, writer decides to return to Pakistan, where he will inherit a family-owned farm in the south of the Punjab province. His family had become prosperous landowners during the nineteenth century, but, by the time of his graduation in the late eighties, his father lived in Lahore in a state of threadbare stateliness and aristocratic decline, his large house infested with flunkies and hangers-on. Writer's father died shortly after his arrival. Writer travelled to the farm, where he met the group of managers who had been running things: suave, ruthless, cunning operators, lined up in the farmhouse portico and waiting to plot his confusion. Writer was particularly dependent on one of the managers, Chaudhry Sameer (the author has changed his name). Drop by drop, Sameer would dole out bits of information or misinformation about the farm, not only about agricultural techniques but also about personalities and power structures. Writer began to suspect that the managers, including Sameer, were stealing from him, but he had to overcome his fear and uncertainty if he was to retake control. Writer describes the process by which he came to shed his fear and started consciously working to develop his cunning. Describes life on a farm in Pakistan, and the difficulties of managing such an operation, as well as the writer's loneliness. Title refers to some samosas made by Sameer's wife as a present for the writer, perhaps with an ulterior motive.

About RSL
Belief. Passion. Desire. Determination. Commitment. Sacrifice.
Words once written by current Real Salt Lake Head Coach Jason Kreis describing the organization's core values in an open letter to the community, these are the tenets by which RSL players, fans, front office and ownership conduct themselves each day. The utmost adherence to these values allowed RSL to win Major League Soccer's 14th Cup title in 2009, just the team's fifth season, despite long odds and a plethora of cynics, naysayers and non-believers along the way. Despite an 11-12-7 regular season record, and the necessary combination of several dozen scenarios, RSL won six of its final seven games en route to capturing MLS Cup 2009, embracing its "Team is the Star" philosophy to vanquish not one, not two, but a trio of designated players - Guillermo Barros Schelotto, Cuauhtemoc Blanco and David Beckham - as well as the Columbus Crew, Chicago Fire and Los Angeles Galaxy sides which surrounded them.
"Audentis Fortuna Juvat" - Latin for Fortune Favors the Bold - was Kreis' mantra in May, 2007 when he abruptly traded his captain's armband for the head coaching reins of Real Salt Lake. In the 30 months since that time, Kreis became the youngest MLS head coach to win a title, while the RSL organization, inspired by its fans, has established a dominant home-field advantage, with just three home losses in any competition between the 2008/09 seasons. In 2008, the value of unselfishly placing the collective ahead of the individual was also embraced by those workers, engineers, architects, and visionary partners that brought Rio Tinto Stadium from concept to reality. Exhibited by everyone from the Real Salt Lake locker room to the Rio Tinto Stadium front office, these are the values upon which organizational success is built, those demanded from every individual responsible for executing ownership's vision for world-class sports and entertainment on the Wasatch Front. Nothing but the utmost adherence to these tenets is tolerated. The early expansion years marked by turnover and transition, Real Salt Lake has now reached unprecedented heights with its Playoff runs in 2008/09, achieving a multitude of organizational milestones signifying the growth, permanence and promise of the franchise. Remaining committed to building an organization that will consistently compete for championships, on and off the field of play, President Bill Manning embraces the principle that the Team truly is the Star, recognizing that players, fans, staff, management and the community at large compose the team. Only through the team concept in all facets of the organization, working together as one, can Real Salt Lake achieve glory, honor and success.
On the field, General Manager Garth Lagerwey, Coach Kreis and the technical staff accomplished the goal of deepening the roster to create competition at every one of the 11 positions, instilling a collective focus on heightening the intensity at each practice, at each game, in every way. The massive overhaul three summers ago has now fostered the ability for Real Salt Lake to become a more cohesive unit, to think and react at a quicker speed of play, to pressure the opponent, to compete as one entity. From this, competitive success is ensured, evident from the team's late-season runs the last two seasons.
Now Real Salt Lake is focused on proving that 2009 was no fluke, and that a budding soccer dynasty resides on the Wasatch Front.
It is no coincidence that the organization's recent development was fostered by the advent and opening of Rio Tinto Stadium, the stateof- the-art sports and entertainment facility in Utah, providing a stunning new home for world-class events, one with breathtaking views of both the Oquirrh and Wasatch Mountain ranges. With its vast, natural grass pitch, its intimate proximity allowing 20,000+ spectators to exert themselves as the 12th man, it is the sweeping canopy roofs on the east and west sides to keep elements out, atmosphere in, serving as iconic beacons for the community gathering place. Located in Sandy, Utah, at the heart of the Wasatch Front, Rio Tinto Stadium opened its arms to the world in 2009, during its first full season of operation, serving as the host of the 2009 MLS All-Star Game, a dramatic, penalty-kick decided event vs. England's Everton FC (and a foreboding of things to come!). Major League Soccer's midseason showcase was a perfect example of the Stadium as a new class of venue in the Intermountain West, attracting events that would not otherwise visit Utah, bolstering the state's reputation as an international sports and entertainment destination. Both the MLS All-Star Game and the U.S. Men's National Team's World Cup Qualifier against El Salvador last September were televised worldwide to more than 140 countries via the ESPN family of networks, bringing significant media attention to the State of Utah, positively impacting tourism efforts.
While "The Beautiful Game" and its premier events have an established home at Rio Tinto Stadium, in 2009 the venue also expanded its horizon with a slate of much-anticipated concert performances, including those of legendary rockers the Eagles and country music icon Kenny Chesney. Aesthetically and acoustically, Rio Tinto Stadium will fulfill its promise to become one of the most desirable outdoor attractions in the United States, its capacity rising to nearly 27,000 for concerts and other events, the diversity of which creates numerous job opportunities on both permanent and seasonal bases. In March, 2008, the Stadium was recognized by Forbes as one of "10 New Super-Stadiums" in development worldwide.
Making A Mark
Since its inception, Real Salt Lake continually strives to establish new and everlasting traditions in the Utah sports landscape and break new ground in virtually every aspect of its business. In addition to developing the team's Independence Day and Pioneer Day soccer/fireworks traditions, RSL accomplishments include: in the establishment of new MLS standards for season-ticket renewal rates; exhibiting the truest home-field advantage in U.S. Men's National Team history; forming a groundbreaking partnership with Real Madrid, RSL's namesake and the world's foremost sports brand; and becoming the first American major-league sports team to feature a corporate sponsor – Utah-based XanGo – emblazoned across its jersey front. That distinctive Real Salt Lake jersey was worn by a quartet of American soccer luminaries during the team's first three seasons. Head Coach Jason Kreis, the team's charter captain and first-ever player, was the first American-born Major League Soccer MVP in 1999 and retired to seize the RSL coaching reins as MLS' All-Time leading scorer. U.S. Soccer icon Clint Mathis – re-acquired mid-Summer 2008 – was the team's first allocation, bringing his Mohawk to the Wasatch Front in 2005. Teenage phenom Freddy Adu utilized RSL in 2007 as a springboard to Europe. Legendary U.S. defender Eddie Pope, regarded worldwide as the finest American defender ever, retired after the 2007 season as Real Salt Lake's all-time leader in games started (69) and minutes played (5,930), as well as RSL's lone All-Star selection (2005, 2007).
Real Salt Lake's first-ever home game featured a dramatic, 81st-minute header by former U.S. Olympic Captain Brian Dunseth to give RSL a 1-0 victory over Rocky Mountain Cup rivals Colorado Rapids, sending 25,000+ fans into pandemonium. The June 4, 2005 visit by the U.S. Men's National Team for a World Cup Qualifying match against Costa Rica raised the bar for fan intensity, the United States' 3-0 win witnessed by more than 40,000 fans. That turnout and support demonstrated to the American soccer community that the savvy, pro-U.S. crowd could impress even those who thought they had seen it all, including then-U.S. manager Bruce Arena and superstar Landon Donovan, each of whom left Rice-Eccles that day glowing about the National Team's newest home. That historic occasion set the stage for future visits by international opponents from Spain, England, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, China, Fiji, Costa Rica and Jamaica, highlighted by the August 12, 2006 visit by Real Madrid.
The late-Summer 2006 trip by Real Madrid to Utah, which included a week in Salt Lake for high-altitude training, a pair of games vs. MLS sides D.C. United (involving a day trip to Seattle) and RSL, a visit to the Governor's Mansion and the ceremonial groundbreaking of what is now Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, again served notice to the world about the burgeoning soccer culture in the Rocky Mountains. International superstars such as David Beckham, Roberto Carlos, Raul, Fabio Cannavaro, Ruud van Nistelrooy and manager Fabio Capello – all legends of the highest world soccer standards, thriving on the World Cup and European stages – were ebullient in their praise of RSL fans and the passion, excitement and emotion exhibited just two years into the club's existence. Van Nistelrooy's first-half penalty kick and Robinho's second-half brilliance were overshadowed by the flashbulbs glimmering throughout Rice-Eccles when David Beckham entered the game, as Madrid downed its namesake, 2-0, in the most-attended professional sporting event in Utah since the 2002 Winter Olympics. The success of the Real Madrid visit made possible the completion of an historic 10-year partnership agreement between the two sister clubs, who still look to collaborate on a state-of-the-art youth soccer academy in Utah; Madrid hosting Real Salt Lake for multiple weeks of preseason training; RSL hosting Madrid in the U.S. every other year when possible; and the organizations joint cooperation on coaching, player development and marketing/licensing initiatives, including the www.RealMadridAmerica.com site.
The team's former Rice-Eccles home was the site of several individual milestones during its three-plus MLS seasons in Utah, as Captain Jason Kreis became the first-ever MLS player to score 100 career goals, something only four players have now ever accomplished. Fan favorite Andy Williams, the lone "RSL Original" remaining in 2010, scored the 5,000th goal in MLS history midway through the inaugural 2005 campaign, also the team's first score in Rice-Eccles north end. Former goalkeeper Scott Garlick became just the third MLS netminder to accrue 100 career wins, a feat accomplished in 2006 during his lone season with the club.
Major League Soccer Arrives
The dramatic arrival of a second major-league organization further establishes Utah as a progressive, growing climate for top-level sports and all types of innovative entertainment. The state has been home to the Utah Jazz of the NBA since 1979. During the Jazz's tenure, Salt Lake City has played host to multiple NBA playoff series (including two NBA Finals) as well as an NBA All-Star Game. Utah was also the host of the enormously successful 2002 Olympic Winter Games, which brought positive attention from sponsors, athletes and media around the world.
"MLS expansion to Salt Lake City reminds me of the early days of the American Football League," said the late MLS Investor-Operator Lamar Hunt, the only man inducted into three major sports Halls of Fame (soccer, football and tennis.) "The inclusion of Salt Lake City is a very important step for Major League Soccer. It's a city of great vitality and achievement from a sports and entertainment standpoint. The Utah Jazz have been among the leaders in attendance of the NBA year after year, and no one will ever forget the grandeur of the Salt Lake Winter Olympics."
Utah's unique demographics make it particularly appealing to MLS. Boasting a significant soccer fan base, Utah has the highest per-capita participation in organized youth soccer, the third-fastest growing Hispanic and Latino population in the U.S., as well as a significant Eastern European population. Beyond just the sports entertainment value, Salt Lake's MLS team brings significant socio-economic benefits to the region.
"Soccer is a great sport, a great unifier," said SCP Worldwide Founder and Chairman Dave Checketts, Real Salt Lake's founder and co-owner, a visionary sports entrepreneur and a native Utahn. "It provides affordable, exciting family entertainment. The excitement will surely continue to build here, and we're going to have a lot of fun watching this team grow. We're very happy about this opportunity and truly believe that this city is well-positioned to not only support a Major League Soccer team, but to serve as the bellwether in every aspect for the sport in this country. Utah is the right market, with the right fan base, with the Wasatch Front believing in all of the things that Major League Soccer represents: players as role models, players that are connected to the community, a team that cares about the community, and a League that is committed to growing the sport of soccer in this country with great integrity."
While the team's dedication to the community is unparalleled, its entrenchment in Utah and ability to lead the sport took a massive step forward with the opening of its Rio Tinto Stadium home in Fall, 2008, in Sandy, just 15 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City. Nestled in the heart of the Wasatch Front, virtually equidistant between Ogden in the North and Provo in the South, the team's new location is perfectly placed in the population center of the nearly 2.5 million people residing in the Salt Lake Valley.
MLS Thrives In Utah
In July of 2004, Checketts and Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber announced that the dream of bringing world-class soccer to the great state of Utah had come to fruition. The mission was simple: create an internationally-recognized soccer brand, one which would become the flagship franchise of a growing American soccer league.
The addition of Checketts and SCP Worldwide completed a one-year period where Major League Soccer doubled its investor base, as CD Chivas USA owner Jorge Vergara and Colorado Rapids owner Stan Kroenke joined longtime visionaries Phil Anschutz, Lamar Hunt and Robert Kraft. July 14, 2004 was the fateful day when Utah was officially awarded the 12th MLS franchise. In attendance were many of Utah's top government, youth soccer, business and community leaders.
"I believe that Major League Soccer is the sports league of the future, and I am excited that Utah has a chance to be a part of it," said Checketts at the historic event, attended by many of Utah's top government, youth soccer, business and community leaders. "Salt Lake's success on the international stage with the Olympics was a major part of what went into making this decision for the league. I can assure you, we fought long and hard to bring this team to Utah. We faced serious competition from other cities who desperately wanted an MLS franchise. We are thrilled that we were successful in showing the MLS that Salt Lake was the right place for the League's next team. I am excited at the prospect of leading this team to much success here in my home state, just as we were fortunate enough to do with the Jazz for so many years."
"In less than one year, we've attracted three new investors who share in the passionate, collective and inspirational vision for American soccer as our existing team owners," said Commissioner Garber, whose League celebrated its 10th Season in 2005, the same year as Real Salt Lake's inaugural season. "We're very pleased to welcome a new visionary to the MLS family. A man who has proven to be one of the most successful executives in professional sports, a man who has had countless opportunities to get involved in many different sports, a man who stepped up and said, 'I choose to be involved in soccer.' That man is Dave Checketts, and we're very, very pleased to welcome him to the family." "Soccer is the number one sport in the world," stated Checketts. "It is growing rapidly in this country and this is a League filled with dedicated ownership and talented management. These are people who are committed to soccer. These are people that I have been familiar with in the NHL, NBA and the NFL. I have complete confidence in the leadership of MLS and I am excited to be their partner."
Just five years later, roughly an equal time to that of a World Cup or Olympic cycle, Real Salt Lake has established itself as a leader in its community, a developer of young soccer talent on the field and one of Major League Soccer's business leaders. Real Salt Lake has both uncovered and cultivated a vibrant soccer culture in the InterMountain West, one which has demonstrated a surprising level of acumen and savvy regarding the international nature of the sport, and one whose loyalty and dedication to the RSL shield inspires the organization.
Since Day One, RSL has set its collective sights on employing talented players of the highest character and deeply committed administrators, each of whom have served as solid community citizens, singularly focused on fulfilling that covenant with RSL fans of a winning, world-class organization, providing inspiration and aspiration to soccer followers around the globe.
Youth Development
In the Spring of 2007, Real Salt Lake announced its foray into the recent MLS Youth Development Initiative, introducing four elite youth teams at the U-16 and U-17 age groups. Real Salt Lake has two bases for this initial step, with the RSL Utah and RSL Arizona clubs entering teams in both age groups out of the Salt Lake City and Phoenix areas, respectively. In the Summer of 2008, RSL's U-17 team – composed of players from both states – captured the SUM U-17 Cup, earning a prestigious trip to Madrid, Spain, for the Junior Club World Cup, also known as the Trofeo Quixote Sub-17. These teams take the field wearing the RSL badge in a manner aimed to inspire the very best players in this region to pursue soccer as the sport of choice for elite athletes.
RSL continues to work alongside clubs in Utah and Arizona to ensure that these programs give players opportunities under the RSL umbrella without encroaching upon existing commitments to their clubs, high schools, state ODP programs, or collegiate aspirations. Instead, the RSL Youth Development Initiative facilitates the identification and cultivation of emerging soccer talent in a professional environment.
Coming Together As A Team
In Real Salt Lake's last 74 games since mid-August, 2007 – the equivalent of two-and-a- half seasons – the team has posted a record of 26-27-21, easily its most successful stretch ever. During that time, not coincidentally just months after Jason Kreis assumed the coaching reins and the arrival of Garth Lagerwey, Real Salt Lake turned the corner from an expansion team struggling to find its way on the field to a competitive, cohesive unit.
While 41 players came and went from the RSL roster between May, 2007 and August, 2008 – a turnover rate not seen since the circa-1996 New England and New York rosters – the foundation is now set with a core of both proven and emerging players, youth and experience hailing from all corners of the globe.
The team's creative, attacking playmaker, Argentine Javier Morales, captured 2008 Team MVP honors and emerged a darkhorse for league-wide consideration. Signed with RSL through the 2012 season, Morales forms the "spine" of the team along with imposing Colombian defender Jamison Olave, who also inked a long-term contract through 2012. Also locked up long-term is MLS Cup 2009 Most Valuable Player Nick Rimando, whose legend grows between the pipes with every penalty-kick save. Other core players signed long-term are outside back Chris Wingert and forward Fabian Espindola.
The midfield area between Morales and Olave is patrolled by the team's emotional leader and Captain Kyle Beckerman, who has brought bite, tenacity and a "Braveheart" mentality to the pitch and the locker room. Beckerman's history in the volatile Rocky Mountain Cup with Colorado is spotless, the former Rapid undefeated in the season series, helping RSL to capture its first-ever and only hardware in the 2007, 2008 and 2009 editions of the fan-created competition.
Royal Name, Royal Aspirations
One word – Real (pronounced RAY-äl) – celebrates the international elegance and multi-cultural distinction of Utah's second majorleague professional sports organization.
"Internationally, the Real brand signifies soccer at its highest level — soccer with excitement, tradition and flair," says Checketts. "The name symbolizes dignity, history and, quite literally, royalty. It is our daily mission to establish those attributes for our team."
The presence of the sport of soccer on the international stage inspired the team's unique nomenclature. Real Salt Lake aims to think and act globally in its vision, with the bilingual name demonstrating passion and respect for soccer's heritage and reflecting its lofty aspirations for competitive excellence and crowning achievements in the community.
"The name, colors and shield of Real Salt Lake represent soccer's spirit as a unifying sport, as well as the state of Utah's rapidly expanding diversity," said Checketts. "Real Salt Lake will lead what MLS Commissioner Don Garber calls 'the New America' and will serve as a tremendous source of pride not only across the Wasatch Front, but also for fans around the world who recognize our aspirations for a competitive, family-oriented organization. As we continue to grow as a league, the RSL tradition will define our path and our core values will resonate across the global sports marketplace."
On May 3, 2007, upon his introduction, Real Salt Lake's second head coach, Jason Kreis, uttered the latin phrase "Audentis Fortuna Juvat" – "Fortune Favors the Bold." Kreis certainly believes in the power of this concept to his core, introducing bold changes during his first nine months at the helm, expecting the moves to bring imminent fortune.
In Kreis' words, "Real Salt Lake fans are the best in MLS, and have been since day one. That RSL fans share the same values – Belief, Passion, Desire, Determination, Commitment and Sacrifice – motivates every player, coach, and administrator in the RSL organization to forge ahead and redouble efforts to achieve our lofty goals."
Real Salt Lake's goals are lofty, its aspirations regal. Each and every day, in every endeavor, RSL seeks to serve the Salt Lake Valley, Utah and the Intermountain West as a visionary community citizen, intent on delivering on its commitment to build and develop a winning, world-class organization, one which will not only stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the world's most recognizable and revered sports brands, but one which is dynamic, diverse, family-oriented, ambitious, community-based and internationally-minded.
Another Major League Soccer season in Utah is upon us, and the organization from the ownership, to the players, fans and staff are elated to embark on what promises to be a fantastic and rewarding journey. RSL believes that the fan experience with Real Salt Lake will be nothing short of thrilling, combing a competitive team on the field with an electric atmosphere off it. That goal is the common thread that binds Real Salt Lake and the Utah soccer community not only in 2010, but for many successful decades to come.

I'm about to start up an eCommerce site for health products. However, I'm unsure of how to structure the company, in particular reference to shipping of product. Should I buy my own product, stock it, and then ship it out when a purchase it made online? Or, is there a way to automate shipping from a warehouse? If yes, how is that done?
Thanks for your time.

Like most high school seniors, Hannah Johnson is excited about college. A petite cheerleader and a bright smile, Johnson said she is most looking forward to meeting new people and starting what she calls the "next phase" of her life.
Until a few weeks ago, Johnson said she was unsure where she would start that next phase. However, one college in particular recently gave her 18,000 good reasons to make a decision.
Johnson was notified recently that she had been awarded an $18,000 scholarship to attend the University of West Alabama, a liberal arts college situated in the heart of western Alabama.

While extending store hours to open Thanksgiving night may have rallied the crowds, it was Cyber Monday that brought in the record breaking numbers this year. According to the NRF, consumers spent 3.9% less on Thanksgiving weekend (Thursday through Sunday) compared to last year. There are several possible reasons for these results, including shoppers holding out for a better deal on Cyber Monday or the sheer number of days of discounts cannibalized revenue traditionally saved for in-store Black Friday only sales.
Whatever the reason, stores may have been packed, but many shoppers chose buy online. And now it seems the traditional distinction between brick & mortar Friday and online Monday has blurred into a week-long omni-channel shopping extravaganza.
Blueport Commerce takes a deeper look at the learnings from the Thanksgiving sales season, how they stacked up to expectations and what it means for the year to come.
Numbers are courtesy of IBM's Cyber Monday Report 2013 and Black Friday Report 2013.
Cyber Monday Blew Black Friday Out Of The Water
It pays to be the last day of this discount season. Consumers, worried that they would not reap the benefits of Thanksgiving sales, flocked to the web on Cyber Monday to cash in on the remaining discounts. Cyber Monday online sales set record highs this year with a 20% increase in sales compared to 2012 and nearly 32% higher compared to Black Friday sales this year. Additionally, Cyber Monday shoppers were quick to the punch, checking out their online cart at a 12.6 higher rate than Black Friday shoppers.
In the home goods category, Cyber Monday sales increased by 26% and by 17% on Black Friday compared to 2012.
Mobile Did Not Disappoint
If you follow the Blueport Commerce blog, you're no stranger to the rise of mobile. Bindi Tuli identified a few mobile strategies here, I touched on Mcommerce here and here, and Kate Putnam talked about mobile in Monetate's e-commerce quarterly here. Needless to say, we anticipated the rise of mobile encroaching on site traffic and overall sales. And the data did not disappoint.
Mobile traffic accounted for over a third of all online traffic - that's up 45% from 2012. Mobile sales also gave online a boost this season topping 17% of total online sales. Despite the mobile rise, it appears mobile traffic and sales decreased on Cyber Monday compared to Black Friday as shoppers headed back to work.
Consumers Are Keeping Shopping Social
When it comes to marketing through social channels, Facebook brought in the dough. Facebook referrals converted sales at four times the rate of Pinterest on Black Friday and 38% higher than Pinterest on Cyber Monday. While average order value was higher on Facebook compared to Pinterest, on Cyber Monday it was 6% higher on Pinterest than Facebook among customers who converted on Black Friday, despite lower overall conversion sales.
If sales did not meet your expectations, don't fret. The good news is, Black Friday and Cyber Monday were just the start of the holiday season, especially for Furniture. Shoppers are still in the giving mood this month and many retailers are continuing promotions throughout December, January and February. So, take the learnings from last week (Tip: was free shipping a bust? Try a percentage off promotion) and adapt your promotions accordingly to capitalize on what is turning out to be a blockbuster online shopping season.

There is another important factor in the surge's ultimate impact: coastal geography. "Storm surge is like real estate: location, location, location," Rhome says. In New York Harbor, the surrounding coastline acted as a funnel, channeling more and more of the incoming water into a narrower and narrower region. When a massive volume of water gets confined in that way, "it has no choice but to spill out and flood the surrounding land," Rhome notes. And, in places where the shore gently slopes out to sea, rather than precipitously drops off, an even larger storm surge results. New York City, with some 305 square miles of area, is particularly vulnerable to storm surge because of its more than 500 miles of coastline feature small bays, inlets and other potential funnels that can channel rising seawaters far inland.
The art of surge prediction
An important part of coping with such floodwaters is knowing how likely they are to hit, and how high they will be when they do come ashore. The National Hurricane Center's Storm Surge Unit bases its projections on the amount of water that will physically move atop land, called the "wet" line above sea level. Of course, predictions can never be perfect, Rhome (who is also a former hurricane specialist) notes of his unit, as the parameters that influence storm surge change hour to hour: precise location of landfall, strength of the winds, the angle of approach to the coast, how fast the storm is moving, how big it is, among others.
In fact, the NHC is one of the few such facilities in the world that offers multiple predictions of storm surge to help emergency planners cope. It starts with a computer model that takes into account data on the coast itself, including its contours, its depths, natural structures and man-made ones, and where the rivers enter and other factors. The computer then simulates storm surge based on input wind speeds, the speed of the storm itself and its total size, which are in turn based on the best projection of the NHC's human hurricane specialists. That single best guess is where most storm surge predictions end.
But even the best meteorologists with the best tools and the most experience cannot precisely predict any of those things, so the NHC runs the model multiple times with multiple variations of the storm inputs, such as wind speed or the total area of the storm. The level of a storm surge can change quickly with relatively small fluctuations in such factors. "It's very tricky," Rhome says. "Just a subtle change in the meteorology makes a huge difference."
For example, Hurricane Ivan in 2004 shifted its track, and its eye passed to the east of Mobile Bay rather than just to the west, where it had been expected based on forecasts. This directional change of less than 30 miles cut the actual storm surge by 10 feet, according to Rhome, pushing water out of the bay rather than into it. "Anyone who thinks they can predict landfall within 30 miles two to three days in advance doesn't know what they're doing," Rhome says.
Or take Sandy, which remained only the weakest level of hurricane, boasting sustained winds above 74 mph, despite having the lowest pressure ever recorded for any storm north of North Carolina—943 millibars just prior to landfall in New Jersey. Instead Superstorm Sandy's sheer size—with winds spread over a massive area of more than 1,000 square miles—generated the enormous surge of ocean waters. To appreciate the difference, think of a smaller storm as like running a finger through a bathtub—it won't disturb much water—whereas a larger storm is like moving a whole arm through—you can make a significant swell.

Retired but not tired
Today was the first day in my 42 years of funeral service to several communities that I did not have to worry about the phones. Felt strange. Only time will tell me if I made the right decision to hang my top hat up. My plans are to build a new shop and take on more hudson work and parts. This time there will be a lift. Not bad going down under a car but getting up takes some energy. My phone number will change. My cell is 309-267-6158. Mark that in your roster if you want. Will get my number changed on the 21st century hudson web page also, or call Russ and he will get ahold of me to call you back. Anyway, looking forward to working on more hudsons, building stock, super stock and race engines . Always enjoyed pouring and boring babbit rod bearings and mains. Also plan on helping Russ with some convertible projects. I think I can keep busy.
Congratulations, Randy! I think that sounds absolutely marvelous. And, I have the distinct feeling from your message that you will truly enjoy yourself. Please keep us posted on your endeavors!
Russ -
Congratulations from me as well! I suspect you will build something interesting. I'm very much looking forward to see what that might be. :D
Congratulations! Your go forward plans will be a great benefit for Hudson's... Change is always apprehensive, but you will be fine. Soon you may wonder how you ever got anything done while working your primary job. Good Luck on your new venture.....
Chuck -
Good luck, Randy
As dave s said, Good Luck, Randy.
Alex Burr
Memphis, TN -
That sounds like a good plan, good luck and enjoy :)
You'll find that jobs will expand to fill the time you have so enjoy :-)
Randy, best of luck to you and your retirement. I did the same thing after 44 years of employment. Still have to get the lift, but maybe this summer. I took on a major build of a car that was completely disassembled. It was a fun project and I had a wonderful year after I started the project. I have built three car since then and I am having a ball. Enjoy the process and I have to say that I have never looked back. Retirement is great...Hope you have a car ready for the National in California next summer. Cannot wait to see your work--keep with us and post a lot of photos....Brownie
Yes Randy you wont look back for took long. You will find you can be as busy as you want. Or dont want depending on the day . You will have the time to chase down the parts you want but allways missed out on when someone got there first.
And I find that even though I make half the money I did when working. I have more spending money than I used to. You spend so much on gas ,food ,sodas ,coffee's ,vending machines and such just "Going to work" that it all works out.

Lincoln and the Capitol
Posted on November 09By: Matt Guilfoyle
One of the greatest privileges of working for the Architect of the Capitol is knowing we have our hands on history everyday and we are afforded the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of the giants of America's past. Perhaps no other person looms larger in that history than Abraham Lincoln.
The recent attention for the movie "Lincoln" produced by Steven Spielberg and starring Daniel Day-Lewis as President Abraham Lincoln draws focus once again on this remarkable individual, the period in which he lived and led, and his connections to the U.S. Capitol. Today, one cannot walk far in the Capitol Building without seeing a likeness or other connection to America's 16th President and the tumultuous period he served in Congress and the White House.
A good place to begin walking in the footsteps of Mr. Lincoln is outside on the East Front of the Capitol in the shadow of the Capitol Dome. It was here in 1847 that he arrived as a newly elected Congressman of the Whig party representing Illinois. The Capitol he viewed that year would appear much different later upon his return to the East Front in 1861 and 1865, to be inaugurated President of the United States.
In 1847 the Capitol was much smaller than it appears today and the "Bulfinch Dome" that was atop the building was much lower than today. One remarkable feature of the Dome in 1847 was the sight of Crutchett's Lantern. Rising 92 feet on a mast over the Dome, the 20 feet by 6 feet glass and gilded iron lantern included reflectors that threw light into the Rotunda at night and could be seen miles away. James Crutchett built the light at his own expense (an advertisement for his gas business). Each night a workman had to climb an eight-inch wide ladder to the top and light it. After safety and cost concerns for operating the light grew, work began to remove it after less than a year in place.
Over the next 14 years the appearance of the Capitol drastically changed. During the 1850s the Capitol was extended, adding the current House and Senate Chambers. Then in 1861, when Lincoln returned for his first inauguration, a new Capitol Dome was under construction. Four years later, Lincoln's second inauguration took place in front of the newly completed Capitol Dome with the Statue of Freedom atop it. The engineer in charge of this expansion of the Capitol, Montgomery Meigs, would also play a key role in the Civil War as Lincoln's Quartermaster General.
Inside the Capitol, it is not difficult to envision what the building was like during his time. Today in National Statuary Hall (known as the Hall of the House in Lincoln's time) a plaque on the floor marks the approximate location of the desk he sat at during his one term in Congress. Here he served among many well-known contemporaries including John Quincy Adams, who in 1848, would collapse on the floor of the House and die two days later. Lincoln would serve as an honorary pallbearer at his funeral.
Moving from Statuary Hall into the Rotunda of the Capitol, where Lincoln would lay in state in 1865, stands a statue of President Abraham Lincoln, holding the Emancipation Proclamation, as depicted by Vinnie Ream. Selected by the Congress in 1866 to create the marble state of the Lincoln, she was the first woman to receive a government commission for art.
Walking down from the Rotunda to the Crypt of the Capitol, Lincoln appears again, this time as a large bust, by Gutzon Borglum made in 1908. A mold of the bust was later made and bronze casts of the bust are in the collections of the White House, the Chicago Historical Society, the College of the City of New York, the Tomb of Lincoln in Springfield, Illinois, and the University of California, Berkeley.
Not far from Borglum's bust, is another colossal depiction of Mr. Lincoln. The bust "Abraham Lincoln the Legislator," by Avard Fairbanks was made in 1985, and now rests at the foot of the stairs in the Small House Rotunda. These are the same stairs that Lincoln would have climbed to arrive at the Hall of the House during his term as congressman.
To conclude our walk through Lincoln's life at the Capitol it is best to end with a stop in Exhibition Hall at the Capitol Visitor Center. On display is the table from Lincoln's second inauguration, from which on March 4, 1865, he delivered the words:
"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
John Wilkes Booth, at Ford's Theater, would assassinate Lincoln one month later on April 14, 1865. Lincoln lay in state in the Capitol Rotunda from April 19-21 atop a catafalque hastily constructed to support his casket. The catafalque has since been used for all those who have lain in state in the Rotunda. The catafalque can be viewed in a specially constructed display area in Exhibition Hall.
While Spielberg and Day-Lewis may have brought "Lincoln" to life, it is humbling and inspiring for me to work everyday among the places where he actually lived and died, and know the hard work of AOC employees is helping preserve it for future generations.

Damn hacker(s), I had to create a special account for TPU in my password hasher Thanks for letting us know so quickly, though.
Looked over my original post and it seems a bit harsh, so my apologies on that. However I very much would like a reply to those questions. I don't post much but I'm a long time member who reads this site everyday.
Well that certainly explains why I couldn't log in. Times like these I'm quite happy I use LastPass. Good luck bruteforcing my old password you chucklefuck hackers.
Oh, good. The techpowerup email/password handling service is working again. I've just gotten a bevy of emails from previous attempts over the past two hours to get a new password sent using the same email address.
Well, that was a bit of messing around. Took a while but I finally got my emails. Didn't think the reset was working so I tried three times. Patience I need, yes. Thank-you w1zzard and gang. It's all sorted now.
Thanks for the heads up Admins I hope the slimy little bastards get butt raped by an heard of bull elephants arrested by navy seals put on a sub taken down to 2500ft and emailed out of the torpedo tubes
PW changed ^^ I have used the same password far away from this site, and as long as no one knows me in person there is no connection to my other site that means i don't need to change every password right? anything on my profile is secured with different password + and i don't had the same for the email used here. just to stay safe
I guess there's a side benefit to getting hacked- haven't seen this many members logged onto the site in at least 6 months. Conspiracy theory would say that W1zz hacked his own site or It's just a case of Weddings and Funerals Welcome Back to All members (new and old)!!!
W1zz : Let's tell the users the site was hacked so we get more traffic. Bta : Okay, I'll get the popcorn. lol It's up to you, but I would change it just to be sure.
Its the first time something like this happens to me. password changed. Was TPU hacked before? sheesh
maybe lets celebrate, its the first ever hack, lets make this a special day for the site and start a friendly hacking competition/event or something every year lol
Thanks for letting us know, probally sounds daft saying that, but Scan the retailer here in the UK got hacked in 2007, and never bothered to tell anyone, then they got hacked again about two weeks ago, and never bothered to tell anyone again. It was only when people received emails with their passwords in the title, they was sussed out, how great is that, when they have our bank details and ordering info, secret question etc lol. Link >> http://forums.hexus.net/scan-care-h...h-scan-consider-least-changing-passwords.html
makes me think about the big retailers like amazon and newegg and the like... do they ever get hacked and how often... I mean, look at paypal...
i would agree in most cases and its a common problem, why TPU didnt patch known exploits to protect its users and its reputation is beyond me.
btw b/c of this security breach i'm VERY surprised TPU didn't recommend users change their passwords to other webiste/services that use the same username/password as it will be a matter of time before the attacker(s) get to it.

Jay Carney is a reflection on 0bama; arrorgant and dishonest. Maybe Gollum would be the spokesman for republican leadership?
make that "arrogant". cant type and small keyboard
The party truly needs a ´national ´leader´ (articulate!)....anyone familiar with this fellow?http://www.conservativehq.com/article/11693-mark-willis-announces-rnc-chairman
The GOP doesn´t need a Jay Carney. We already have cry-baby Boehner.However, we do have many articulate conservatives who are much more intelligent than Jay.
I´m always wary of Ron Paul delegates. I´d like to see Rubio as head of the RNC. He´s an excellent spokesperson for conservative ideas. John Shadegg or Jon Kyl would be great. We need new faces. Susana Martinez and Bobby Jindal would be excellent also.
Where are the GOP´s testicles?
A couple problems with finding a GOP Jay Carney (or equvialents for most Democrats).It is difficult to lie and defame people unless you are without a conscience.Most Democrats are obviously born without one.Most Republicans have one.
We need an articulate, assertive, telegenic warrior. We need Andrew Breitbart but he has moved on. Most recent candidate for this gig would be Ben Shapiro, who took apart Piers Morgan a few days ago.
From your lips to God´s ears, Mr. Henninger.
I like #8´s suggestion for a spokesman. Henninger´s advice is so simple and so needed that this should be a DOH! moment for the GOP. The spokesman needs to be an unelected person; no elected official can handle this job or the baggage that will come with it. But get someone STAT!
Since sadly the GOP cannot employ Tony Snow, look for a Snow-clone. Fast. A spokesman has to be a cocktail of wisdom, wit and wiliness-- i.e., cunning, in that order. Who can fill those shoes?
Didn´t that Pubius person win spokesmodel job for the GOP again? Where is he? I say recruit Rubio... quickly. All the horrid slime thrown is going unanswered.
My guess is that he´s unemployed, living with his mother.
Mega dittos to what #7 said.We must realize that Dems & Reps live in two different cultures, with two sets of opposite cultural values. Dem´s, for the most part, value the ability to lie and defame peopleRepublicans, for the most part, don´t.I also believe that most Dems in positions of power have chosen to ignore their God-given conscioius.chose to Most Democrats are obviously born without one.Most Republicans have one.Reply 7 - Posted by: john56, 1/16/2013 8:29:12 PM (No. 9121158)A couple problems with finding a GOP Jay Carney (or equvialents for most Democrats).It is difficult to lie and defame people unless you are without a conscience.Most Democrats are obviously born without one.Most Republicans have one.
So sorry! Hit Return before I was done editing...Last 2 sentences should have read:"I also believe that most Dems in positions of power have made the choice to ignore their God-given conscious."Many more Republicans are choosing to listen to their conscious."Also, didn´t intend to leave in #7´s post...

» StoikiteStoikite
The village of Stoikite is located in a valley in the Central Rhodope Mountain, 5 km away to the west of the Pamporovo resort and 6 km to the southeast of the Shiroka Laka architectural preserved area. The favorable geographical position and the beautiful scenery make the village attractive for holiday. The average altitude is 1410 m. This is why the summer in Stoikite is cool, and the winter soft, making the village perfectly proper for all-season tourism. The vicinity of the village is amazingly various. The big corpus of the Perelik hill goes southeastwards crossing the Eshei Kulaki passage, Cherni vrah summit to the Snejanka summit. To the northeast there comes the continuation of the Chernatitsa mountain section – Kara tepe and Mechi chal, forming the catchment area of the Vacha and Asenitsa rivers. The village was mentioned for the first time in a written document in 1706. Historians suppose that the village was inhabited in 17th century during one of the converts to Mohammedanism in the Rhodope Mountain area. In the spring of 1870 the local men started building the school, which was opened the same year by the first teacher Stoyu Kalaidjiev from the village of Shiroka Laka. By the initiative of the local people the Plovdiv bishop Panaret got a permit for church construction and he was the one to start the building of the church in 1874. Later in 1900 the church board decided to build a belfry as well. Explorers came to an interesting find on the land of the Stoikite village – the discovered silver medal from the first Athens Olympic Games in 1896. Historians consider that it was won by a local man – the invincible Rhodope fighter Georgi Kapushev. He is believed to the be the first Bulgarian ever participated in Olympics and the first Bulgarian Olympic champion.
Chepelare is a small resort town with population of 9,000 people. It is the town at the highest altitude in Bulgaria – 1,100 m. In last few years it has become one of the leading ski resorts in Bulgaria. Chepelare is situated 9 km north of Pamporovo and 20 km north of Smolyan, as well as 245 km southeast of Sofia. The town is surrounded by venerable spruces, pine woods and meadows. Chepelarska River crosses the town collecting the waters of Yanchovata, Kamburskata and Sivkovskata rivers. The main road through the Rodopi Mountains, the Plovdiv – Smolyan Road, passes through the town. In the past local people were occupied with cattle-breeding. Flocks grazed on nearby meadows in the summer, and shepherds took them to the Belomorie (lands near the Aegean Sea). Following the Unification of Principality of Bulgaria and Eastern Rumelia the border with Turkey was closed. It was impossible to reach the Belomorie. The population of the town slaughtered most of the cattle and was forced to chop the forest in order to provide pasture-grounds for the rest of the animals.
Rhodopes Мountain

Hohner-BbEbAb SqueezeBox
Hohner announces the introduction of a series of revolutionary new apps for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch: The Hohner SqueezeBox.
Mimicking the layout of Hohner's iconic Corona Classic diatonic accordion, these intuitive virtual accordion apps feature a super responsive, three-row fingerboard that plays and sounds like the traditional instrument.
The Hohner SqueezeBox apps allow musicians to practice chord combinations, scales, and songs on-the-go in five different key combinations and colors. Headphones can be used for private practice, or the audio output of the virtual accordion can be amplified by plugging into computer speakers, or other sound enhancing devices.
Players may select to have the note names displayed on the large white pearloid buttons. With the touch of a button, the tonality can be changed from "wet tuning" giving an animated sound, to "dry tuning".
This app is ideal for the beginning student or professional musician who needs a simple carry-on companion to compliment his or her actual accordion. While not meant to be a replacement for a real accordion, the app is a convenient and easy tool for practicing, learning, or teaching.
BbEbAb is commonly used for Vallenato and Merengue.
Be sure to check out the "Real Players, Real Music" videos on the app website.
Want to play in all the keys? Download all five Hohner SqueezeBox apps: Hohner-GCF, Hohner-FBbEb, Hohner-EAD, Hohner-ADG, and Hohner-BbEbAb.
Hohner-GCF Mini, Hohner-FBbEb Mini, and Hohner-EAD Mini are also available for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Q: I have an iPad with iOS5 and the sound stops when I put four fingers on the screen.
A: Go into the iPad Settings app, and disable the "Multitasking Gestures" feature. This feature creates issues for all apps like mine that use more than 3 fingers on the screen at a time.
Q: I'm not hearing any sound, help!
A: Make sure that the mute switch on your device is turned off.
What's new
New feature: Tablature display!
Please visit the app website for a link to over 500 free songs in tablature format provided by Reyes Accordions!

This series comes down to which version of Ilya Bryzgalov will show up for the Flyers? The early season form, or the late season nearly unbeatable form? The Flyers will also be without the services of Danny Briere and Andrej Meszaros for the series, which removes a lot of offense. The Penguins come in healthy, hot and ready to fight for the cup. The war of words these teams had off the ice should play to a very physical and very fun to watch series. In the end, I like the Penguins being healthy, playoff battle tested and primed for a deep cup run. Penguins in 7.

I believe this will be an uphill battle for the Flyers who of course won't get a fair shake from the officials. That being said, the Flyers have just thoroughly dominated the second half of games against the Pens and just about everybody else this season so if they can avoid going down 2-0 every game like they're prone to do then I think they'll just be too deep and strong (even without Pronger, Briere, Meszaros, and maybe even Grossmann because of another loose Penguin knee) for the Pens down the stretch. Once Hartnell and Simmonds etc. start banging in front and in the corners the Penguins have a tendency to get stuck in their end for long periods. Plus, Jagr f*cking owns them. Look for a big series from Max too.
The Pens will definitely have their moments but as long as Bryz can at least equal Fleury and the Flyers don't give up the first 2 goals every single game the Flyers should win this in 6 or 7. |
I would like to see the Flyers win, but as others pointed out, I don't think the Flyers will be allowed to breathe on Crosby. Also the Flyers have Bryzgalov.
Pens in 6

Probably the best first round playoff matchup, and probably the two most evenly matched teams. Goaltending is a draw, as Fleury has been average the last few months of the season, while Bryzgalov came on strong. Scoring is almost equal, but I think the Pens have the better D. I just think the Flyers have a better chemistry as a team, and while probably an very hard fought series, I'll go Flyers in 5! (homer pick)
Im picking Flyers in 7. Alot of bad blood between these two teams,which makes for a potential great series. Hopefully they both pound each other for a full seven games. I think theres more pressure on the Pens,giving recent actions,and comments by some experts of them being dirty whiners.
If the Rinaldo "game misconduct" is any indication on how the refs are going to control this series, this series will be an absolute power play, snooze-fest... people keep talking "bad blood" and all that, but I see the refs and the NHL totally ruining what could be an epic series.
Sorry to be so negative, but I just can't see anything major happening in this series. Bring on the penalty parade! |

The Flyers seemed to be one of the only teams who figured out that playing a chippy game against the Pens is the way to go. I watched the Devils and Rangers all year try to match the Pens style of game and fail miserably. If they can lure Pittsburgh into playing their style of game without taking to many penalties I believe they can pull this one out. This is probably the worst matchup possible for the Pens in the 1st round.
Flyers in 7.

I hope we're wrong about this. The NHL was great when teams were allowed to play, allowed to fight, and allowed to settle things on the ice but the last several years indicates that the zebras are in control if they want to be.

This is the first-round series I'm most looking forward to, as I'd imagine is the case for a lot of other people. A great rivalry that has heated up late in the regular season, and now a first-round playoff matchup.
With Malkin on fire and Crosby back healthy, the Penguins were my pick to emerge from the Eastern Conference and win the Stanley Cup. But this is a huge challenge for them right off the bat to start the playoffs. The Flyers have shown the ability to have success against Pittsburgh. I think this is going to come down to a very hard fought and closely contested series. In the end, I think the Penguins will find a way to win it in 7. But I wouldn't be surprised if the team emerging from this series is too worn down to make it all the way to the Finals as the Eastern Conference playoffs continue.

I want the Flyers to beat the Pens but I think Pittsburgh wins this in six. At least we can use Voracek and Jagr at Worlds
You don't cheapshot one of my players like that, it doesn't make any sense. Fight a guy straight up, whoever wins, wins, but at the end of the day respect yourself for being a fair player and a fair fighter. The Sheriff Lemieux - McCarty interview with chilling hand shake |

Black medic is successfully being used in Montana as a reseeding annual legume in dryland rotations. The medic is protecting the soil from erosion, improving soil structure and water-holding capacity, disrupting weed and disease cycles, and reducing saline seep. Becauce medic is a shallow-rooted legume, it is supplying the soil with added nitrogen but only drawing water from the top 2 feet of the soil profile. This moisture is replaced by snow melt. The medic can also be a profitable hay crop.
