Battling the Bacteria that Break the Body
By Shayna Nardi
Did you ever wonder what causes river rocks to be slippery? Can you believe it's the same thing that causes plaque on your teeth? The thing we're talking about is a biofilm, a structure formed by bacteria on a solid surface in a liquid environment.

Cowpies, Termites - A Main Attraction
By Paul Matthews
Look closely at John Alcock's critter littered yard and you'll be bug-eyed. He decorates the front with cow patties, spends hours watching sleeping bees and occasionally wolfs down a cricket or mealworm to amuse or horrify his guests. "I'm just considered a mildly eccentric person," admits the Arizona State University biology professor.

After many many years away from software development I decided to take the leap and rekindle my interest. Wow and have things changed! Having purchased a copy of Visual Studio and electing to go with C# my simple application grew and grew which screamed for a level of documentation due to my "put down pick up" approach. I initially used the bundled "Build Comment Web Pages" add-in which I liked but found it very verbose generating a multitude of pages and hence the presented lean and mean code documentation program.
In developing this application I was exposed to many new aspects of the Visual Studio .NET development environment some were relatively easy to address either through MSDN or web sites such as CodeProject. Areas which were either picked up by chance or required a suck and see it approach included debugging Visual Studio add-in code, access to the DTE environment and TreeNode tags. I have captured some of my experiences related to these areas in the following section.
To add the VShtmlhelp add-in to the Tools menu install VShtmlhelpSetup either using the Install function from the Solution Explorer or running directly the VShtmlhelpSetup.msi file. To complete registration double click the ReCreateCommands.reg file. The smiley icon VShtmlhelp will now be displayed in the Tools menu. Selecting this for the VShtmlhelp project will produce the above dialog while selecting the build button will produce the following HTML file output.
Debugging Visual Studio add-in code is possible be it a bit tedious. After several hours of searching and experimenting the approach I used was as follows:
if ConnectMode = …
// Dev/Debug code, get the commands collection. Commands commands = applicationObject.Commands ; try { // Delete the required command. Command command = commands.Item("YourAddin.Connect.YourAddin", -1); command.Delete(); } catch(System.Exception) { MessageBox.Show ("Add-in OnDisconnection failure"); }
As this code uses MessageBox add System.Windows.Forms to References in the Solution Explorer and as a Using statement within the connect.cs file, now build your code. When debugging, on the toolbar select Tools Add-in Manager.. identify your add-in and tick the startup box, prior to closing Visual Studio reverse this action. You are now able to develop and debug your add-in remember to reverse the above code changes once you are ready to release your code.
Visual Studio .NET provides tools for extending and automating the integrated development environment (IDE). DTE stands for Development Tools Extensibility and the DTE Object model presents a structured set components for the Visual Studio .NET runtime environment. This object model enables access and modification of different components which includes Solution, Projects and Project Items. The following sample code writes the Solution name into a label solutionNameLbl:
using EnvDTE; public _DTE dteApplication; private void HelpDialog_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { EnvDTE.Solution dteSolution = dteApplication.Solution; solutionNameLbl.Text = dteSolution.FullName; }
Through the use of a foreach statement you are able to iterate through each Project within the Solution. The following sample loads each Project name into a ListBox projectsLst:
foreach (Project project in dteSolution.Projects) { // if project does not contain valid code // then ignore the project entry if (project.ProjectItems != null) { projectsLst.Items.Add(project.Name); if (!projSelected) { // generates projectsLst_SelectedIndexChanged event projectsLst.SetSelected(0, true); projSelected = true; } } }
Once you have the Project you are able to get a count of the ProjectItems within the Project. The following code is an extract from the function ProjectItems which iterates through each projectItems thereby obtaining the FileCodeModel and then calling iterateFileCodeModel:
// For the selected Project Cycle each project item. for (int r = 1; r< project.ProjectItems.Count +1; r++) { projectItem = project.ProjectItems.Item(r); // Get the file code model fileCode = projectItem.FileCodeModel; // valid file if not a null if (fileCode != null) { // Cycle through the file code model iterateFileCodeModel(fileCode, filesTrv); } }
The FileCodeModel object enables the user to find any code element within the Project given a fully qualified name. By using the Kind function and enumerator vsCMElement 39 elements can be identified including namespace, class, property, variable and function. The following extract from iterateFileCodeModel demonstrates this, it also shows the construction of the TreeView filesTrv. This construction consists of the namespace followed by the classes associated with the namespace, it uses the Tag function allowing namespace or class element data to be assigned to the associated TreeNode. This has the benefit that when the user selects the relevant Project and subsequently the Build button the HTML pages can be derived directly from the TreeView filesTrv.
if (codeElement.Kind == vsCMElement.vsCMElementNamespace) { // Generate new namespace node if index 0 // otherwise use existing node nameSpaceNodeIndex = NameSpaceNode(codeElement.FullName, filesTrv); if (nameSpaceNodeIndex == -1) { nameSpaceNode = filesTrv.Nodes.Add(codeElement.FullName); //Tag the code element to the node, //to be used by HTML page generation. nameSpaceNode.Tag = codeElement; } else nameSpaceNode = filesTrv.Nodes[nameSpaceNodeIndex]; foreach (CodeElement cdClassElmnt in ((CodeNamespace)codeElement).Members) { if(cdClassElmnt.Kind == vsCMElement.vsCMElementClass) { TreeNode classNode = nameSpaceNode.Nodes.Add(cdClassElmnt.Name); //Tag the class element to the node, to be //used by HTML page generation. classNode.Tag = cdClassElmnt; } } }
The HTML page consists of three frames - left, main and top pages. The top page is static whereas the left and main pages are dynamic depending on the built project. Once the build is activated the TreeView filesTrv is used to generate the index left page and as each class is added a main page (ClassXX.htm) is created by calling the function WriteClassDetail. This function is passed the classes TreeNode and using the Tag function the codeElement is recovered. The codeElement's codeType count is used to iterate through each function whereby the necessary data is extracted to construct the HTML class main page, as shown below:
// Iterate through each of the classes functions for (int i = 0; i < codeType.Members.Count; i++) { codeElement = codeType.Members.Item(i+1); if (codeElement.Kind == vsCMElement.vsCMElementFunction) { CodeFunction codeFunction = (CodeFunction)codeElement; // Move edit point to function definition editPoint.MoveToPoint(codeFunction.GetStartPoint( vsCMPart.vsCMPartHeader)); // Get function method statement functionStr = editPoint.GetLines(editPoint.Line, editPoint.Line+1); // Get summary statement summaryStr = SearchAndCut(codeFunction.DocComment, "<SUMMARY>", "</SUMMARY>"); Console.SetOut(swc); swc.Write(TABLEROW); swc.Write(TABLEWIDTH); swc.Write(TABLEINPUTSPACE); swc.Write(TABLEINPUTTOP, codeFunction.Name); swc.Write(TABLEINPUTFUN, functionStr, summaryStr); swc.Write(TABLEWIDTH); swc.Write(TAGTR); } }

About This Show
From Wikipedia:
The program has typically consisted of live video of Dick Clark in Times Square in New York City, counting down until the New Year ball comes down. Since 2005, Ryan Seacrest has been hosting the show outdoors at Times Square while Dick Clark offers comments from a studio. After the ball drops, the focus of the program switches to pre-taped musical segments taped in Hollywood (December 31, 1972-December 31, 1998; December 31, 2000-December 31, 2008) or Las Vegas (December 31, 2009). The segments from Times Square are broadcast live in the Eastern Standard Time zone, and it is delayed for the other time zones so that they can ring in the new year with Clark when midnight strikes in their area.

However, Barings remains unsure as to the extent of the losses because it is not known whether all the trades made by the rogue dealer have been closed out. In other words more unauthorised trades may come to light which would raise the level of the loss considerably.
The uncertainty over the extent of Barings' problems led the Bank of England to dispatch officials to Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo over the weekend. In Hong Kong the officials were closeted in long meetings with Barings management, giving rise to suggestions that the fraud emanating from Singapore was unwittingly funded from the colony.
Ironically the collapse of the company was triggered in its most successful area of operation - the Far East markets. Barings has enjoyed spectacular growth in this region under the energetic leadership of James Bax in its Singapore regional headquarters.
Piecing together the story of the collapse from well-placed sources in Singapore and Hong Kong shows how extraordinarily easy it was for one person to bring the whole edifice crashing down.
It appears that the problem only came to light last Thursday evening when the Singapore futures market, known as Simex, first realised that large margin calls on the Nikkei stock average contract were not being met.
The Nikkei contract allows financial market players to hedge their investments in the Japanese stock market by buying contracts in the future level of Japan's blue chip stock index.
This is usually done as a supplement to activity in the actual stock market. Stock index contracts are very popular in the often casino-like financial markets of South-east Asia. The mixture of low capital investment combined with high risk and high reward appeals to local investors.
As the market rises, futures contract holders make money, when it falls they incur losses. Positions in the futures market are calculated daily so if a loss is being made the holder of the contract is required to place more money with the exchange to ensure that there is enough cash in hand each day to honour the contract.
Until Thursday the Barings dealer responsible for the crash was managing to meet the margin calls. Presumably, it was at this time that resources dried up to meet the growing demands to deposit ever larger sums of money with the futures exchanges.
The suspicion is now growing that previous margin calls were met by fraudulent manipulation of Barings' banking arm, making the company's banking associate fund the unauthorised activities of its stockbroking side.
Although the rogue dealer was a senior employee he must have been trading massively beyond the limits allowed by the company and could only have done so by disguising the source of the trades.
The Nikkei contract is traded only in Singapore and Osaka, in Japan. The aggressive Simex management plunged into Japanese market futures trading before such a market was created in Japan itself. Significantly, the Nikkei contract is still not offered in the conservative Tokyo market but was taken up in the leaner and more hungry Osaka futures market.
The extent of the unauthorised trading suggests that it must have been conducted in both Singapore and Osaka. Barings was undoubtedly the market- maker in the Nikkei contract.
Barings Securities is also the biggest issuer of warrants in Japanese shares, which is essentially another form of futures trading allowing investors to buy a share at a future date for a fixed price.
This is a high-risk business for both the issuers of the warrants and investors who can build up large positions in individual stocks by paying just a small percentage of the share price to buy a warrant.
There is no direct connection between the warrants market and the market in the Nikkei index. However the prominence of Barings in both markets could do much to influence sentiment in Far East markets, particularly in Japan. "You can never predict the emotional side of things," said one Hong Kong futures trader last night.
The financial regulatory authorities in Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan were closeted in meetings for most of yesterday In theory, both the Singapore and Osaka futures markets should have little to worry about in terms of outstanding liabilities because the system of daily settlement means that the contracts were only exposed to default for a couple of days; hitherto all liabilities had been met.
It is reliably understood that Barings in Singapore will be making a police report today, naming the rogue trader as the source of a massive fraud.

Estimated distance based on time and conservative pace.
8:30am - Plan for the day:
This morning I did not want to train at all, but on my way to the gym I kept telling myself that it's only 30 minutes. Once I got in the pool I just cleared my mind and tried to focus on swimming as smoothly and steadily as possible. I got stuck in the unknown-length lane again so I just estimated my distance based on a conservative pace.
9:00am - Plan for the day:
I think that as a time-saving strategy, I should try spending less time in the shower. Now, I don't mean that I want to be less clean, I just need to take fewer showers. For example, yesterday morning I got up and took a shower before work. I swam at lunch, then took another shower afterwards. Last night I taught swimming class at the YMCA, then took a third shower after that. Crazy!
1:00pm - Had lunch with my coach, he brought us our new uniforms for this season. Here's a picture of Kate with her top on (over her work clothes):
9:00pm - Volleyball was fun tonight. There were not a lot of folks there, so we ended up playing 3-on-3 or 4-on-4 all night. Playing with three was great, and a really good workout!
Estimated distance based on time and typical pace.
7:30am - Plan for the day:
12:00pm - My work schedule got moved around, so I was able to swim at 11:00 with kateb876. Today I focused on endurance - 1 set of 45 minutes (45 minutes = 2200 yards = 1.2 miles = HIM swim leg). There were a few folks in the pool when I got there, so I had to swim in the unknown-length lane.
1:00pm - Got to spinning class (which is 45 minutes long) 15 minutes early and rode through the end of class.
8:30pm - For tonight's run I did some hill repeats on Indian Head Rd in Framingham. It takes about 12-13 minutes to get there, I did about 15 minutes of repeats and then ran back home. On the way home I could feel a bit of soreness in my left shin, presumably from the downhill sections. But, with Timberman looming large on the horizon I need to work on hills, both cycling and running.
Time - Dist - Pace 06:56 - 400 - 01:44 07:29 - 400 - 01:52 07:39 - 400 - 01:55 07:57 - 400 - 01:59 07:44 - 400 - 01:56 03:49 - 200 - 01:54
7:30am - I had planned on swimming before work today, but since it's going to be nice out I decided to come straight to the office and sneak out early. My revised plan for the day:
6:00pm - Finally got the grass cut for the first time this season. Over the winter my Dad bought me a new mower because mine was dying, and the new one works great.
9:30pm - Lap swimming at the "Y" tonight. I had planned on doing 2000 yards, so I broke it up into 5x400 since I'm doing Sudbury this weekend which is a 400 yard pool swim. For the first set I swam at my "race pace" and just barely beat last year's race time. I'd like my speed to be higher, but in retrospect I've spent a lot more time swimming at an endurance pace than a sprint pace.
For most of the swim we had 3-4 people in the lane, of varying speeds. I did not get held up too much, but I did get to practice passing others in the lane, which hopefully I won't have to use too much this weekend. But, I was a bit conservative in estimating my seed time for the race, so we'll see.
By the time I finished my 5x400 I was not yet at 40 minutes, so I did an extra 200 to cool down.
From home to start/end of TT course.
Was supposed to be TT course (11.7 miles) but I missed a turn and got lost.
From start/end of TT course to home.

Thanks Angela! I seem to rarely pick up the camera these days, but somehow when the little one is home in the middle of the week and there's less time and inclination to focus on work, it's quite fun to play around with the camera a little and even do a modest spot of crafting together :)
Hi, i love your blog and follow it daily, but i am on my ipad and the photos dont load.. Is it me, or did something change with your format? I will keep trying...and thank-you for your lovely blog x
ReplyDeleteRepliesHi Sarah, so sorry to hear that the photos aren't uploading on your ipad properly. Not quite sure what could be wrong - I changed the font and went for another comment form, which allows me to reply directly to each comment, but didn't change the overall template or anything major, so would have thought this wouldn't affect things too much. But then I don't really know... I use a mac myself and have tested the blog on a pc and mobile phone, which all seem to work ok.
Does anyone else have a problem with seeing my photos these days or have an idea what would be wrong?
I really like your blog:)Great pics and so much inspiration...I wish you a lovely weekend.

Were is that beautiful floor from the bathroom?
Nice pics
MalinRepliesThanks Malin, the bathroom floor is original, our house is from 1926 and not quite sure whether the tiles could date as far back as that, but they're many decades old anyhow. They've stayed in surprisingly good shape. I know you can still get hexagonal tiles, and you could combine different colours.
Lovely photos-love your blog! Hope she is feeling better! Would love to know what book you are showing there! It looks inspiring!
ReplyDeleteLove this post Rebecca, your home is so beautiful.
And the headband for your little girl is precious, was it inspired
by Wovenplay? I love their range.
Love kat x

Production code | 405 |
Written by | Matt Maiellaro, Dave Willis |
Parental Advisory | TV-14-DLSV |
Aqua Teen Hunger Force — Season 4 | |
"Dirtfoot" · "Boost Mobile" · "Deleted Scenes" · "Dickesode" · "Hand Banana" · "Party All the Time" · "Global Grilling" · "Grim Reaper Gutters" · "Moonajuana" · "Bart Oates" · "Antenna" · "Ezekial" · "Carl Wash" |
"Hand Banana" is the fifth episode of the fourth season of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and the 60th episode overall. It originally aired on October 29th, 2006.
Frylock genetically engineers a dog for Meatwad using the "Make Your Own Dog 1.0" software, Carl's pool, and Master Shake's hand DNA. Meatwad names the dog "Hand Banana". The dog seems to be most interested in raping Carl.
Hand Banana can speak so that his words are heard only by Carl, who is immediately unnerved by Hand Banana's clearly-menacing but initially-mysterious threat, "Tonight... you." Since Hand Banana's speech cannot be heard by Frylock, Master Shake, or Meatwad -- to them, Hand Banana plays the guileless, capering pup -- Carl appears either hallucinatory or simply deranged to the Aqua Teens for the majority of the episode. Hand Banana breaks into Carl's house and rapes him. After Carl complains to the Aqua Teens, Hand Banana calls Carl & pretending to be Frylock, tells him a lie that he took Hand Banana to the pound.
Carl lays in his backyard with his ass exposed, because he doesn't care what his only apparent neighbors, the Aqua Teens, think of him. Hand Banana comes from behind and rapes him again. Carl fills every hole in his body with glue, and Hand Banana, a pastry chef & expert in CPR, saves him, but only so he can rape him again.
Carl creates his own genetically engineered dog. He names it "The Enforcer", though it prefers the name "Spaghetti". He orders Spaghetti to rape Hand Banana, but Spaghetti refuses, and instead rapes Carl as Hand Banana literally jumps in.
Frylock and Shake see the rape out of the window. Frylock says that it turns out later in the episode that the software "Make Your own Dog 1.0" is illegal in most nations and has adverse side-effects, such as the dog forming a mental link with members of the owner's family (in this case Carl), which explains why only Carl could hear him, and why he raped Carl. The episode ends with Shake masturbating in Frylock's room as he watches Carl being raped. Frylock tells him to go in his room, but Shake replies that he doesn't have one.
Featured CharactersEdit

Who needs a disco when the restaurant is the club?These four new places are the talk of Hong Kong. Designer-of-the-moment Andre Fu puts a modern spin on old Shanghai supper clubs at Opia (1/F, 15 Irving St., Causeway Bay; 852/3196-9100), inside the boutique hotel Jia. Filmmakers and tycoons sip pineapple cosmos and settle into the opium beds while a DJ plays jazzy hip-hop sounds. · The moody atmosphere, complemented by wheat-colored light from custom-made lanterns, lures urban sophisticates to cozy Mizu (49 Hollywood Rd., Central; 852/2545-9889), a Japanese beer and sake tavern, or izakaya, where sake-spiked mojitos and lychee-infused caipirinhas have a cult following. · Languages from many continents can be overheard at Goccia (G/F, 73 Wyndham St., Central; 852/2167-8181), a breezy Mediterranean- style duplex of raked-stucco and bamboo ceilings, orange leather sofas (reserve one well in advance), and a terrace open in warm weather. · Set in the bawdy pub-filled district of Lan Kwai Fong, the ice-cool FINDS (second floor, LKF Tower, 33 Wyndham St., Central; 852/2522-9318), inspired by the Northern European winters (its name is an acronym for the Scandinavian countries), has a white, snow-like backdrop and teal banquettes clad in faux whale-skin.

My First Blog..
Never one to follow the crowd I decided to do a bit of reseach before starting das blog.. So, "Technorati currently states it is tracking over 112.8 million blogs, a number which obviously does not include all the 72.82 million Chinese blogs as counted by The China Internet Network Information Center." So, including the Chinese thats about 185 million bloggs, and seeing as there's almost 7 billion people in the world, that means that only around 0.0264% of us blog, thus I'm a non conformist living at the frontier of technology!
and with that in mind, here we go..

Bank Financing and Investment Decisions with Asymmetric Information
Banks know more about the quality of their assets than do outside investors. This informational asymmetry can distort investment decisions if the bank must raise funds from uninformed outsiders, and assets sold will be subject to a lemons discount. Using a three-period equilibrium model we examine the effect of asymmetric information about loan quality on the asset and liability decisions of banks and the market valuation of bank liabilities. The existence of a precautionary demand for T-bills against future liquidity needs depends both on the regulatory environment and the informational structure. If banks are ex ante identical, issuing risky debt to fund a deposit outflow is preferred to holding T-bills ex ante. However, if banks have partial knowledge of loan quality, and if their asset choice is observable, they may hold T-bills to signal their quality, enabling them to issue risky debt at a lower interest rate.

Thursday is going to quite active in here i guess.... |
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 4:18 PM GMT on April 08, 2013
Watch out, Europe. Dangerous part-hurricane, part extratropical hybrid storms like Hurricane Sandy of 2012 are expected to be an increasing threat for Western Europe by the end of the century due to global warming, said a team of scientists led by Reindert J. Haarsma of the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute. In a paper called "More hurricanes to hit Western Europe due to global warming", published in April 2013 in Geophysical Research Letters, the researchers describe the results from runs of a high-resolution (25 km grid spacing) climate model based on the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) numerical weather prediction model. The model predicts that the breeding ground for Atlantic hurricanes will shift approximately 700 miles eastwards as the oceans warm this century. Hurricanes which form farther to the east can spend more time over warm tropical waters before turning north and northeast towards Europe, increasing the odds that these storms will have hurricane-force winds upon arrival in Europe. The model showed that wind shear will change little in the region over the coming decades, resulting in a large increase in storms with hurricane-force winds affecting Western Europe. Most of the these storms will not be tropical hurricanes upon arrival in Europe, but will be former hurricanes that have transitioned to extratropical storms. However, as we saw with Hurricane Sandy of 2012, these hybrid storms can be extremely dangerous. Summed over Norway, the North Sea, and the Gulf of Biscay, the model found that the number of hurricane-force storms in August - October increased from 2 to 13 over the 21st century, with almost all future West European hurricane-force storms predicted to originate as hurricanes or tropical storms in the tropics by 2100. The researchers conclude that "tropical cyclones will increase the probability of present-day extreme events over the North Sea and the Gulf of Biscay with a factor of 5 and 25 respectively, with far reaching consequences especially for coastal safety."

Europe's hurricane history
Only once since accurate records began in 1851 has an actual hurricane with full tropical characteristics hit Europe. This happened on September 16, 1961, when Category 1 Hurricane Debbie hit northwestern Ireland. Wind gusts reached 106 mph at Ballykelly and 104 mph at Tiree and Snaefill, and coastal radio stations reported the airwaves were jammed with calls for help from small ships and fishing craft. Eleven people were killed and 50 injured in the storm. The only other tropical cyclone recorded to have hit Europe since 1851 was Hurricane Vince of 2005, which hit southern Spain as a tropical depression on October 11, 2005. Historical documents also suggest a hurricane hit Spain on October 29, 1842.
Figure 2. Hurricane Debbie of 1961 was the only fully tropical hurricane ever recorded to hit Europe.
Britain's history of ex-hurricane strikes
Hurricanes that transition to powerful extratropical storms hit the British Isles several times per decade, on average. In October 2014, after battering Bermuda, the remnants of Hurricane Gonzalo affected Europe as a powerful extratropical storm, bringing strong winds, torrential rain, and heavy snowfall in western, central, and southern portions of the continent. Three people were killed, and damages in Netherlands, Germany, and Slovenia were estimated at $42 million. In 2011, Hurricane Katia brushed by Newfoundland, made the transition from a tropical system to a powerful extratropical storm, and maintained strong winds of 50 - 65 mph as it crossed the Atlantic. Ex-Katia hit northern Scotland on September 12, 2011. Glen Ogle, Scotland, at an elevation of 1500 feet (546 meters), received sustained winds of 60 mph, gusting to 86 mph. Cairngorm, in the Scottish Highlands at an elevation of 4085 feet, reported sustained winds of 67 mph. With the trees in full leaf, tree damage was much higher than a winter or springtime storm of similar ferocity would have caused. One person was killed by a falling tree, and heavy tree damage and numerous power failures were reported throughout Britain. Other gusts experienced in Britain included 76 mph at Edinburgh Blackford Hill, 75 mph at Capel Curig in Wales, 72 mph at Glasgow Bishopton, and 71 mph at Loftus, North Yorkshire.
Figure 3. Image of Hurricane Katia taken from the International Space Station at 15 GMT September 9, 2011, by astronaut Ron Garan. At the time, Katia was a Category 1 hurricane with 85 mph winds. Long Island, New York is visible at the lower left.
Figure 4. Surface wind estimate from the Windsat satellite at 4:04 am EDT on Monday, September 12, 2011. The center of Extratropical Storm Katia is marked by an "L", and winds in excess of 50 knots (58 mph, purple triangles) were occurring to the southwest of the center, near the west coast of Ireland. Image credit: NOAA.
As reported by UK Met Office forecaster John Hammond in a post on the BBC 23 degrees blog, Britain has been affected at least eight times in the past twenty years by extratropical storms that were once tropical storms or hurricanes. Before Katia of 2011, the most recent such storm was Hurricane Bill of 2009, which hit Ireland as an extratropical storm on August 25 with sustained winds of 45 mph. Bill was a Category 4 hurricane northeast of the Lesser Antilles five days prior. In 2006, a record three extratropical storms that had once been tropical cyclones hit Britain:
Extratropical Storm Alberto, which had been a strong tropical storm that hit the Florida Panhandle, hit northern Ireland and Scotland as an extratropical storm with 35 mph winds.
Extratropical Storm Gordon hit Ireland on September 21, 2006, with sustained winds of 65 mph. Gordon brought record warm temperatures as tropical air pushed north across the UK, and also strong winds that brought down power lines in Northern Ireland. Wind gusts to 60 mph (97 km/h) occurred in the Isles of Scilly off the southwest coast, and 81 mph (130 km/h) on the mainland.
Extratropical Storm Helene hit Northwestern Ireland on September 27, 2006, with sustained winds of 45 mph.
Figure 5. Path of Hurricane Lili of 1996, which caused $420 million in damage to the U.K. as an extratropical storm.
Other post-tropical cyclones that have the U.K. in the past twenty years include Hurricanes Isaac and Leslie of 2000, Hurricane Karl of 1998, and Hurricane Lili of 1996. The most severe of these storms was Extratropical Storm Lili, which hit Ireland on October 28, 1996, with sustained winds of 65 mph. Lili caused $420 million in damage (2011 dollars) in the U.K. According to Wikipedia, Lili produced a 92 mph (148 km/h) gust at Swansea, South Wales, while bringing a 4' (1.2 meter) storm surge that inundated the River Thames. In Somerset, 500 holiday cottages were severely damaged. A U.S. oil drilling platform, under tow in the North Sea, broke loose during the storm and nearly ran aground at Peterhead. On the Isle of Wight, a sailing boat was beached at Chale Bay; luckily all five occupants were rescued. It was the most damaging storm to have struck the United Kingdom since the Great Storm of 1987, which killed 22 and did $660 million in damage (1996 dollars.) However, Lili also broke a four-month drought over southwest England.
All but one of these storms hit during the peak part of hurricane season, mid-August - late October. The only exception was Ex-Tropical Storm Alberto of 2006, which hit Britain in June.
Figure 6. Hybrid subtropical storm of October 8, 1996, off the coast of Italy. According to Reale and Atlas (2001), the storm had characteristics similar to a hurricane, but formed over cool waters of 21.5°C (71°F.) They reported that "The maximum damage due to wind occurred over the Aeolian Islands, at 38.5°N, 15°E, to the northeast of Sicily: assistance for disaster relief was required. Unfortunately, no weather station data were available, but the media reported sheds, roofs and harbor devices destroyed, and houses and electric lines damaged, due to 'extremely strong westerly wind.' The perfect agreement between the observations at Ustica, the storm scale, the eye-like feature position and the damages over the Aeolian Island reasonably suggest that the hurricane-level intensity of 32 m/s (72 mph) was reached over the Aeolian Islands." A similar hybrid low affected Algeria on 9 - 10 November 2001. This storm produced upwards of 270 mm (10.6") of rain, winds of 33 m/s (74 mph), and killed 737 people near Algiers, mostly from flooding and mud slides.

Hurricanes in the Mediterranean Sea?
The Mediterranean Sea between Europe and Africa has experienced several damaging hybrid subtropical storms in recent decades, but has never experienced a fully tropical hurricane in recorded history. However, global warming may cause the Mediterranean to start spawning hurricanes by 2100, according to a 2007 study by a research team led by Miguel Angel Gaertner of the University of Castilla-La Mancha in Toledo, Spain. They ran nine different climate models with resolutions of about 50 km and found that some (but not all) of the models simulated hurricanes in the Mediterranean in September by the end of the century, when ocean temperature could increase by 3°C, reaching 30°C.
Though the Mediterranean may start seeing hurricanes by the end of the century, these storms should be rare and relatively short-lived for three reasons:
1) The Mediterranean is quite far north and is subject to strong wind shear from jet stream activity.
2) The waters are shallow, and have relatively low heat content. There is no deep warm water current like the Gulf Stream.
3) The Mediterranean has a lot of large islands and peninsulas poking into it, increasing the chances that a tropical storm would weaken when it encountered land.

484. AussieStorm 9:13 AM EDT on April 09, 2013 Thank You Sir; it just updated on my link as you posted. Here is the summary: Tropical Pacific remains ENSO neutral Issued on Tuesday 9 April 2013 | Product Code IDCKGEWWOO Current atmospheric and oceanic observations show a neutral El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) state. Model forecasts unanimously show a persistence of this neutral pattern for the remainder of the southern hemisphere autumn and into early winter. In other words, the development of either an El Nino or a La Nina is very unlikely in the coming three months. Although the neutral ENSO pattern is only having a limited influence on our climate at present, Australia has experienced consistently warm land and sea surface temperatures since spring 2012, including several record breaking heat waves and the warmest summer on record. The persistently warm waters that continue to surround Australia may promote increased local rainfall in favourable weather conditions. The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) has little influence upon Australia%u2019s climate from December through to April. The consensus of current model projections is for a neutral IOD for late autumn into early winter. |
Quoting weathermanwannabe: It has been issued.... Weekly Tropical Climate Note Issued on Tuesday 09 April 2013 MJO stalls over eastern Indian Ocean Over the past week, the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) has gained strength after stalling over the eastern Indian Ocean. The near-equatorial monsoon trough reformed over the Indian Ocean region with three embedded low pressure systems: one near Bali, another south of Sumatra, and the third, tropical cyclone Imelda, near 70%uFFFD E. Historically, when the MJO has been in the eastern Indian Ocean in April, the region in the western Pacific associated with the South Pacific Convergence Zone has seen enhanced easterly trade winds and a decreased chance of precipitation. The MJO is forecast to progress east over the Maritime Continent this week, however the influence of the MJO is expected to weaken significantly. Central Australia and Queensland's Central Coast may see above average rainfall this week as the MJO progresses east and easterly winds strengthen in the Pacific. Tropical northern Australia, especially far northern Queensland, may see an increased chance of rain amid patches of dry season-like weather, but the monsoon trough (if any) is expected to remain north of the continent. See the Bureau's MJO Monitoring for more information on location and tracking of the MJO. Neutral ENSO conditions persist The Pacific Ocean remains ENSO-neutral with the latest sea surface temperature anomalies in the NINO3.4 region at 0.2 %uFFFDC. The latest 30 day SOI to the 7th of April is 9.0. The recent high SOI values are a result of high pressure weather systems over Tahiti, and are not indicative of the broad scale climate. See the Bureau's ENSO Wrap-Up which includes a compilation of ENSO computer model predictions. |
Next update expected on 9 April 2013 The Aussie Met office a little late today on issuing their latest Enso outlook; probably almost done crunching the numbers as to recent anomalies in the Pacific; they were predicting Enso neutral conditions for several months out. Will post as soon as they issue the update. Here is the one from two weeks ago; will be curious to see if there are any changes in today's outlook. Issued on Tuesday 26 March 2013 | Product Code IDCKGEWWOO The tropical Pacific remains neutral - neither El Nino nor La Nina. Current atmospheric and oceanic indicators as well as climate model forecasts indicate neutral conditions are likely to continue through the remainder of the southern hemisphere autumn. |

I will however, assign a "Grocon" number to the ones with potential. LMAO.................. |
Quoting Thrawst: Not yet declared on this one. I just want to make sure it is vertically stacked. |
Quoting Grothar: LOOOOOOOOL! Are you assigning a Gro-rak (Dvorak's twin) values as well? I think it will resolve any debates whether or not a blob is indeed a blob. Laughing in biology class. Bad Kevin, bad. |
Strange. Given there is no global warming why would there be an increase in European storms? Could this simply be a cyclical event? These storms are not a new occurance. A study into the real cause seems to be in order. |
Quoting Grothar: Excellent! May I have the honor of having the seventh Blob of the season named Geoffrey? |
Quoting GeoffreyWPB: I am preparing a list now. I am expecting an early blob season to begin in May. Pre-blobs will not be named. I don't want to cause any panic. I will however, assign a "Grocon" number to the ones with potential. |
Quoting indianrivguy: Grothar...when are you going to release the 2013 list of Blob names? |
Quoting indianrivguy: Yeah. But Grothar saw it first...... :):)) |

Jason Ren: I am Jason Ren, REIT analyst with Morningstar. Joining me today is, Philip Martin, REIT strategist with Morningstar and chairman and CEO of Ventas, Deb Cafaro. Ventas is a narrow-moat health-care REIT that we cover. Thank you for being here.
Debra Cafaro: It's my pleasure.
Ren: Ventas has built a quite tremendous total return during the last decade, and it's sometimes been held up as a poster child of building wealth through splitting property operations, PropCo/OpCo, and while others have tried, very few have succeeded. I was wondering, what do you view as the keys toward a successful PropCo/OpCo split?
Cafaro: Yes, Ventas started out 12 years ago or 13 years ago separating what was then the largest vertically integrated owner/operator of long-term care in the United States. We had a single tenant essentially in the early days. The key to PropCo/OpCo wealth creation is that we were able to adopt and execute a growth and diversification play-in over the years.
It was heralded it as a very smart strategy, but it's very common-sense, which is, we had a single tenant and no matter how good the tenant was, we knew that we had to have more tenant relationships. We knew that, it was important to diversify effectively. We knew that our single tenant was in the nursing home and hospital business. So, it was important to expand that to other kinds of asset types within health care. And now Ventas is really 70% private pay net operating income, so we've diversified in that way, as well.
We knew that we had to change our balance sheet at that point in time. We really had access to a single source of capital which was really the bank market, and so understood that as a REIT, we had really to rely on multiple capital markets. So, we really embarked on a strategy of growth and diversification at that time.
We built a great team, and that's really been a big part of it--the team's skill and the team's execution of our strategy. And this is what I think creates total return: We were able to consistently reduce risk in our business, through balance sheet management, through diversification, through good governance, et cetera, while we consistently built cash flows.
So, those two principles, I think, create shareholder wealth. As you know over the past 10 or 12 years, Ventas has led the pack of publicly traded financial firms and REITs in terms of creating wealth for shareholders, and that's what our team is focused on. Again the principles, I think, are managing risks while at the same time building cash flows.
Ren: As of late, a theme we've heard in health care is consolidation. And while some operators overlap across the major health-care REITs, you're also seeing Ventas Healthcare REIT and HCP really putting the dollars behind very specific horses and having sizeable tenant concentration. What is your outlook on consolidation, and how do you kind of mitigate the risk of "possibly backing the wrong horse" in terms of operators?

If you're in one of what AMC considers the world's 26 coolest cities -- which include Washington, New York, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Taipei, Istanbul, Caracas, Bogota and Guatemala City -- look out for a zombie walk Tuesday in honor of the new series The Walking Dead that debuts Sunday. Deranged and possibly brain-damaged fans will dress up like zombies and shamble around town. But if you're just an unlucky resident of some dullard town like Topeka, Albuquerque, or (ahem) Miami, you'll have to be content with the sneak peak of The Walking Dead up above.
