Hurricane Tomas, an unprecedented Lesser Antilles hurricane for so late in the season, is bearing down on the islands of St. Lucia and St. Vincent with Category 1 winds of 75 mph. Recent radar imagery from the Martinique radar shows that Tomas is still in the organizing stage, with an eyewall that just closed off, and a weak area of echoes on the south side, due to modest wind shear of 10 knots caused by southerly upper-level winds. The Hurricane Hunters reported top surface winds in the northern eyewall near 75 mph. St.Lucia figures to get the worst blow from Tomas, as this island will experience the strong right-front quadrant of the storm--the north eyewall. Winds on the island were sustained at 46 mph, gusting to 67 mph, at 11am EDT. Winds at Barbados peaked at 37 mph, gusting to 56 mph, early this morning, and the pressure bottomed out at 994 mb. Satellite loops of Tomas show a large and well-organized Cape Verdes-type hurricane, with good upper level outflow on all sides except the south, and an impressive amount of heavy thunderstorm activity. This is a very dangerous hurricane that is just beginning to get going. You can follow the progress of Tomas through the islands today with our wundermap zoomed in on St. Lucia.

Intensity forecast for Tomas
Now that the eyewall of Tomas has completely closed off, a period of steady and possibly rapid intensification lasting until Sunday afternoon is likely. The intensification rate may then be slowed by an increasing flow of southwesterly upper-level winds, which are expected to bring dry air and a moderate 15 - 20 knots of wind shear to Tomas Sunday through Tuesday, according to the latest SHIPS model forecast. Shear is then expected to relent, allowing more intensification on Wednesday. Water temperatures are a record warm 29.5°C and the Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential--a measure of the total heat content of the ocean--is a very high 100 kJ/cm^2, which is very favorable for rapid intensification. I expect the Tomas will strengthen to a Category 3 or 4 hurricane by Wednesday.
Figure 2. Hurricane specialists Robbie Berg (background) and Dan Brown (foreground) discuss the latest data on Tomas last night at the National Hurricane Center.
Track forecast for Tomas
The computer models have come into better agreement this morning that after Tomas reaches the central Caribbean 4 - 5 days from now, a turn to the north or northeast is likely, in response to a strong trough of low pressure expected to develop over the Eastern U.S. The exact timing of this turn to the north or northeast is difficult to predict at this time, as steering currents will be weak in the Caribbean after Tomas passes through the Lesser Antilles today and Sunday. At this time, is appears that the Dominican Republic and Haiti are most at risk from a strike by Tomas, though the storm could move as far west as Jamaica, or as far east as the northern Lesser Antilles Islands.
Figure 3. Hurricane specialist Dan Brown computes Tomas' radius of tropical storm force winds using the old-fashioned paper track plot and dividers technique. Hurricane specialists at NHC commonly use a paper track plot to mark all storm center fixes and compute the current motion of the storm. A storm's current heading and speed in NHC advisories is usually a 12-hour average of the motion up until the final fix position.
Tomas, Shary, and the 2010 hurricane season in perspective
Tomas' formation ties 2010 with 1995 and 1887 for 3rd place for most number of named storms in an Atlantic hurricane season. Only 2005 (28 named storms) and 1933 (21 named storms) were busier. Atlantic hurricane records go back to 1851, though there were likely many missed named storms prior to the beginning of satellite coverage in the mid-1960s. The intensification of Shary and Tomas into hurricanes today brings the total number of hurricanes this season to twelve, tying 2010 with 1969 and 1887 for second place for most hurricanes in a season. The record is held by 2005 with fifteen hurricanes, and I don't think we'll beat that record this year!
The formation of Tomas so far south and east this late in the season is unprecedented in the historical record; no named storm has ever been present east of the Lesser Antilles (61.5°W) and south of 12°N latitude so late in the year. Hurricane Six of 1896 came close--it was also a tropical storm south of 12°N and east of 61.5°W on October 29, but nine hours earlier in the day. That storm recurved to the north and missed the Lesser Antilles. Tomas' track through the southern Lesser Antilles so late in the year is unprecedented. There have been only two other tropical storms that formed after October 15 south of 12°N and east of 61.5°W: Hurricane Jose, which was a tropical storm in that region on October 18, 1999, and Tropical Storm Nicolas, on October 16, 2003. Tomas most reminds me of a storm I flew into with the Hurricane Hunters--Hurricane Joan of 1988, which was a tropical storm on October 14 near Tomas' current location, and later strengthened into a Category 4 hurricane that hit Nicaragua. According to Chenoweth (2008), Tomas is the first tropical storm to cross through the Lesser Antilles Islands south of 16°N this late in the year since 1724. In that year, a tropical storm on 12 November crossed the islands at 13.7°N 61.5°W, and later became a hurricane that affected Jamaica. There was also a hurricane on 30 October 1671 that crossed 61.5°W at 13.3°N, and did damage on Barbados.
Another unusual aspect of Tomas' formation is that we now have two simultaneous hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean on October 30. There has been only one hurricane season since 1851 that had had two simultaneous hurricanes later in the year--1932, when Hurricane Ten and Hurricane Eleven both existed November 7 - 10. Today is also the 5th latest date in the season that there have been two simultaneous named storms in the Atlantic. The record was set way back in 1887, when Hurricane Eighteen and Tropical Storm Nineteen were both active on December 8. There were three years that had simultaneous November named storms: 1932, 1961, and 2001.

Next update
I'll have more on Sunday by 3pm EDT. I'm headed home to Michigan today, after a very valuable week here at the National Hurricane Center. The experience gave me a new appreciatation for just how good the forecasters are at what they do. NHC's hurricane experts are truly world-class, and we are very fortunate to have such a talented group of hard-working forecasters keeping us informed on the dangers we face from Atlantic hurricanes.

Beautiful tribute to your mom. My sympathy to you and your family. I still have my mom who is 90 and I thank God each day that she is with me. Best to you.Its with a heavy heart that I post the passing of my Mom at the age of 100 yrs 3 months...She was in a nursing home in Durango Colorado, and the affects of dementia/Alzheimers finally took its toll. She expired quietly and peacfully with myself and a couple of sibling at her bedside...
I got the call that I had always dreaded on Sunday night,that they would be moving her to the hospice. I drove like a bat out of hell Monday night after work the 550 mi from LV>Durango in about 10 hrs, only stopping for breakfast,gas,and the requisite pit stop..also tried one power nap, but was so jacked up on caffeine that I couldn't relax..My brothers in Austin and Burnet teamed up and drove all day/night on Tues..
It was apparent to us that Mom was deteriorating by the hour and even though she could not speak, she knew each of us were there as we each said goodbyes and held her hand one last time...she went quietly Wed early evening..
I have since returned to Vegas since she requested immediate cremation and no funeral, we will however carry out her further wishes to the Nth letter by spreading a small portion of her ashes on my Dad's gravesite at Fort Sam Houston so as she put it "so I can hound you dad for all eternity"..looks like Mom will get last laugh....
I am not looking for a sympathy but am issuing a challenge...for those of you that still have your Mom's give her a call, or go see her and give her a hug....and if she asks why tell her its from a guy you know on the RTF...for those of you who are like me and have lost your Mom, take a minute today to reflect and think about her and think about how you wouldn't be here without her..
My Mom was an automatic lock for entrance in Heaven, she maintained her faith in God to the end, and even though she lost the ability to read her Bible a few years back she would still pray a few times a day, and attend the daily service at the home when she was healthy
I thank my Mom for bringing me into this world and loving me every day of her life..to say that I will miss her is a major understatement
I would also like to publicly thank Stan (roadkill) for the support this week as I went through this ordeal. He made literally hourly texts to make sure I was safe and in the right frame of mind to take on this..Thanks Pal
also had well wishes from KJR and a phone call from Al Wilson asking to see if there was anything they could do..
and last but certainly not least a big thanks to Lanse Brown, the last couple of years he has not missed a Mother's Day, a Birthday or a Christmas in sending Mom a card or a letter...I honestly think Mom thought she had a son named Lanse as we would read his cards and letters to her

From the beginning, the starting center spot for the Celtics was going to be a fluid situation. With Kendrick Perkins rehabbing from knee surgery, Jermaine O'Neal started camp as the first-team center. When he hurt his hamstring and missed a week of practice, Shaquille O'Neal assumed the role. Now that the start of the season is right around the corner, it appears that when the starters are introduced Tuesday night, Shaq will be among them.
"They're both playing well," Doc Rivers said after practice Saturday. "J.O. has just missed so much time that he's so far behind, but he's getting it. You can tell." Both players have inisisted that they don't care who starts, but Rivers like the competition.
"They're both going for it," Rivers said. "At the end of the day when you decide, they'll be able to live with it. They're going after each other. I love it. It's good for practice."

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Murphy Holloway was on his way to becoming South Carolina's Mr. Basketball as a high school senior when Ole Miss first appeared on his radar.
The name stayed there. Then came the idea of continuing his college career there.
As the school's career-leading rebounder reflects on his college basketball path, he credits Andy Kennedy.
"Before coach Kennedy got here I'd never heard of Ole Miss, and then when I was about to come here they were undefeated. I think he's done a wonderful job here," Holloway said.
Holloway was getting up and down the floor for Dutch Fork High School in Irmo, S.C., when the Rebels won their first 13 games en route to a 24-11 finish and a trip to New York for the NIT semifinals.
That was Kennedy's second season and the second of what would become five NIT trips in six years.
The year without a postseason trip, 2008-09, may have been one of his best coaching jobs.
There were a number of injuries, most notably Chris Warren, who would become the third-leading scorer in program history. Warren tore up a knee and did not play in the SEC part of the schedule. That forced freshman Terrico White to move to point guard. The Rebels went 7-9 against the league with notable wins against No. 24 Kentucky, at home against Tennessee and at Arkansas.
Last week's SEC tournament run has Ole Miss in the NCAA tournament for the first time under Kennedy, the first time for the program since 2002.
"I think it's real big. It shows what a good coach he is," Holloway said. "It takes time, and w'e're finally here."
Nearing the end of his seventh season, Kennedy became the school's winningest coach earlier this season and carries a 151-86 record at Ole Miss, 172-99 all-time, into Friday's West Region second round game against Wisconsin. Ole Miss is a 12 seed, Wisconsin a 5 seed.
Kennedy has said he doesn't want to "individualize" the achievement of reaching the NCAA tournament.
There's no doubt it has been in his thoughts.
In the despair that followed the Rebels' visit to Mississippi State, Kennedy told the gathering of media he had no explanation for the upset loss to what then was perceived as the league's worst team.
He followed that up saying, "We know what happened here."
In the same news conference, and in the days to follow, Kennedy's job security became a topic. He referred all questions to Ole Miss athletics director Ross Bjork.
After the Rebels defeated Vanderbilt in the SEC semis Kennedy expressed a sense of relief. He stopped short saying the Rebels were definitely in the field of 68 but said, "I feel pretty confident about our ability to get the albatross from around the neck of this program as it relates to the NCAA Tournament."
Ole Miss players heard the comments.
"For AK, it's a wonderful thing, what he's been going through, all the people criticizing him and things like that. It's a blessing," sophomore guard LaDarius White said.
Kennedy has experienced the NCAA tournament seven times previously – twice as a player at UAB, once as a UAB assistant and four times as an assistant at Cincinnati.
"I feel good, but I mean this sincerely. This is not about me," he said. "This is my job. I try to do the best I can at my job. I'm really pleased for the guys."
The affection is mutual, and, Holloway hopes, makes a statement about the future of Ole Miss basketball.
"Coach ain't going nowhere," he said. "That's how I've thought about it."

This was a great place to stay, right in the centre of Amsterdam. Just a few minutes from the city centre with great restaurants. Gerard welcomed us really friendly and showed us on a map where we are and where are the main things in Amsterdam.
Furthermore is it a lovely room.
The location of the room was very good. It is central but also quiet. The Metro is about 5 minutes away. Near the room are supermarkets and shops. So everything you need is not far away. We loved breakfast at bagels & beans :-) Actually we didn't use public transport very much because we walked most of the time.
Gerard was very kind and helpful. He answers questions via mail immediately. We had a great time! Thank you very much!
Nice cozy room situated in a quiet quarter but only few minutes away from the center. A perfect room for a shortstay in Amsterdam!
Gerard was gracious as a host, quick & to the point with explaining the rules/guidelines and let us be to begin our short stay. The room was pristine , all modern, fully functional amenities and best of all was its location. Central as can be without the noisy Amsterdam streets yet only a ten minute stroll to the city hub. Perfect, would recommend to any couple. Also, forgot the price is very reasonable.
If you are looking for a good and affordable place to stay in Amsterdam then you have found it. The host Gerard is a friendly, responsive, helpful, and no nonsense Dutch as everybody knows and likes them.
The studio apartment with modern bathroom is cosy, clean, and well equipped. Left to the Espresso machine you'll find the most delicious Dutch cookies this side of the equator (I had an argument with my wife whether I should eat all of them, what is considered impolite in the modest Netherlands). I went for it anyway.
The place is calm and everything works just fine.
The address of the accommodation (fourth floor with elevator) is in walking distance (15 minutes with luggage) to the train station Amsterdam Centraal. However, it is better to check a street map before arrival because old European metropolises are not easily negotiated. At the home you are just around the corner of a nice breakfast place and other convenient shopping; quasi next door to the opera, and a cat jump from the Herengracht.
As most people come to Amsterdam in order to see the Grachten (canals) and the major museums like Rijksmuseum, Modern Art Museum, and the Van Gogh Museum (Each a Must!) you can merge the two by walking 35 minutes to the museum quarter and after a lot of education you can stroll back along another Gracht, which will always lead you back home.
If you come for shopping, this is a great place. The worst second hand shops in Amsterdam are more exciting and valuable than most major high street sops in Europe. In comparison, forget Oxford Street. (The Dutch must either be rich or generous).
About Amsterdam nightlife you will have to find out on your own because I can't be of any help about that. If you break your walks in Koffie Shops allow for more time to arrive at the museums....or elsewhere. Enjoy.
Five stars from us, our recommendation.

If you receive federal benefits by check (including, but not limited to, Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, VA Compensation and Pension) and have not yet enrolled in the U.S. Treasury's GoDirect program, you must do so by March 1, 2013.
GoDirect is an electronic delivery program for paying federal benefits and is said to streamline the payment process and reduce costs. Missing the deadline will very likely delay the receipt of your benefits after the March date.
If you have already signed up, there is nothing more for you to do. But if you have not yet enrolled, First Farmers State Bank will gladly help you complete the enrollment process. We do not wish to see anyone experience a delay in the receipt of their benefits.
The days of paper checks for federal benefits are numbered, and the Treasury will require all recipients to receive their benefits electronically via the GoDirect program. You can choose to have your monthly benefits paid to you via direct deposit into a bank account or to your own Direct Express® Debit MasterCard®.
If you prefer a bank account, information from your current benefit check will be required, and we would be happy to establish an account for you. So, before you cash or deposit your next check, just call us and ask for one of our Personal Bankers. They will set everything up for you using information on your current paper check.
Be advised that it can take one to two payment cycles in order for this to take effect, so contact First Farmers today to limit potential delays in receiving your benefits after the March 1, 2013 deadline.
You can read more information about the new GoDirect program at www.godirect.gov.

I've actually been looking at "Ken's Clothes" in the Barbie section to see if I can find a shirt like Jango's Kamino fatigues he's wearing when Obi-Wan comes over for a visit.
I'd like to set up Jango with his son, out of his armor. It's a great headsculpt, but it's also such a darn cool helmet to have him with it on!
What to do?
I bought 2 Ultimate Jango's... One is to hopefully pose with his son. I liked their chemistry in the movie and it was very cool to see them working together, Boba learning from his daddy.
The other Jango will be posed fighting my Mace Windu. I have an extra E1 Mace, (1 for the Council, and 1 for a scene from E2 - and it's gotta be THIS!). I have saved the best sculpt/paint job on a TRU exclusive Mace at my local store - hid it because it's not like anyone will go looking for it next to the 20 other Mace's they could choose from there. But I haven't decided whether I want this figure or not. It's always good to have an extra Mace if you're making scenes with your 12".
Anyway, I'm going to do the Kamino Escape scene with the electronic figures since they'll interact with one another and it makes sense to use that Obi-Wan and at least buy something different. (I got 3 of those electronic 14" Vaders and would've bought more if I hadn't gotten control of myself!)
So I think 3 Jango's would do it:
Electronic vs. Electronic Obi-Wan
Ultimate vs. Mace
Ultimate w.o. armor with his son.
Now I need them to come out with a Boba Fett. What's Hasbro waiting for? They have the 6" Anakin pilot mold. I'm sure that body's not too useful for GI Joe's...
Make Episode 2 Boba Fett already! Will ya?

As the holidays get closer my posting always ges less frequent so I've decided to sign off until the New Year.
2010 has been a memorable year for myself and this blog. Over the past year I've learned more about who is riding bicycles in the city, how and why they are riding and have discovered many new places to ride.
Despite the disappointment of the recent election, I know that many people who care about this city are still optimistic and will continue to push forward promoting and engaging in active transportation and helping others discover the joy of life on a bike.
Happy Holidays to you and see you in 2011,

8.28: Short-Term Climate Change
What are short term climate changes?
El Niño and La Niña bring about dramatic changes in climate for a year or two. In some locations one brings rain and the other brings drought. In California, for example, El Niño years are full of snow and rain. La Niña years tend towards drought. These variations can bring tremendous changes to living creatures. Humans are also affected; for example, erosion from storms may be very high some years.
Short-Term Climate Change
You've probably heard of El Niño and La Niña. These terms refer to certain short-term changes in climate. The changes are natural and occur in cycles, lasting from days to years. El Niño and La Niña are not the only short-term climate changes. Others include the Pacific decadal oscillation and the North Atlantic oscillation. El Niño and La Niña are the most noticeable and discussed.
To understand El Niño and La Niña, you first need to know what happens in normal years. This is shown in Figure below.
This diagram represents the Pacific Ocean in a normal year. North and South America are the brown shapes on the right.
El Niño
During an El Niño, the western Pacific Ocean is warmer than usual. This causes the trade winds to change direction. The winds blow from west to east instead of east to west. This is shown in Figure below. The change in the trade winds also causes the jet streams to be north of their normal location. The warm water travels east across the equator, too. Warm water piles up along the western coast of South America. This prevents upwelling. Why do you think this is true?
These changes in water temperature, winds, and currents affect climates worldwide. The changes usually last a year or two. Some places get more rain than normal. Other places get less. In many locations, the weather is more severe.
How do you think El Niño affects climate on the western coast of South America?
This ABC News video explores the relationship of El Niño to global warming. El Niño is named as the cause of strange weather across the United States in the winter of 2007 in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uk9nwtAOio&feature=related (3:33).
La Niña
La Niña generally follows El Niño. It occurs when the Pacific Ocean is cooler than normal. Figure below shows what happens. The trade winds are like they are in a normal year. They blow from east to west. But in a La Niña the winds are stronger than usual. More cool water builds up in the western Pacific. These changes can also affect climates worldwide.
How do you think La Niña affects climate on the western coast of South America?
Some scientists think that global warming is affecting the cycle of El Niño and La Niña. These short-term changes seem to be cycling faster now than in the past. They are also more extreme.
An online guide to El Niño and La Niña events from the University of Illinois is found here: http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/%28Gh%29/guides/mtr/eln/home.rxml.
El Niño and La Niña are explained in a National Geographic vides found at National Geographic Video, Natural disaster, Landslides, and More: El Niño
- El Niño: A natural climate variation. The trade winds weaken or reverse directions. Warm water accumulates on the ocean surface off of South America.
- La Niña: A natural climate variation. The trade winds are stronger than normal. Surface water off of South America is cold.
- El Niño and La Niña are two examples of short-term climate changes lasting one to a few years.
- In an El Niño, the trade winds reverse direction, as do the equatorial surface currents. This causes warm water to pool off of South America and stop upwelling.
- A La Niña is like normal conditions only more so.

|Florida County Detention Facilities'
Average Inmate Population
June 2004
first | previous | 1 of 5 | next
subject index
Inmate Profile Summary
This County Detention Facilities Summary provides a monthly profile of Florida's detention facility inmate populations. Monthly Average Daily Population (ADP) figures include male, female, adult and juvenile inmates.
These population figures are arranged into felony, misdemeanor and "other" subcategories in Table 1. "Other" includes the number of parole violators, state inmates, undocumented aliens, holdings for other jurisdictions and individuals detained under the Baker (mental health) and Myers (alcoholism) Acts. Within felony and misdemeanor subcategories, the number of inmates sentenced, held for trial or sentencing, and those detained or sentenced for violation of probation are listed.Table 2 features the Average Daily Population and incarceration rate in each county. Table 3 lists the number and percent of felony and misdemeanor pretrial inmates at each detention facility.
The Jail Population Summary (Table 4) lists detention center totals for the year to date.
Table of Contents:
On average, there were 58,002 inmates in Florida's county detention facilities during the month of June 2004. The statewide average daily (ADP) totals include 49,627 adult males (85.6%), 7,838 adult females (13.5%), 516 juvenile males (0.9%) and 21 juvenile females (0.0%). The overall distribution of male and female inmates has remained constant in county detention facilities for the past several years. The following provides an analysis of the inmate population for June 2004:June 2004 Jail Population Recap
In June 2004, the statewide county detention incarceration rate was 3.4 per 1,000 county residents based on the population estimates for April 1, 2003. The county population estimates are provided by the Office of Economic and Demographic Research of the Florida Legislature. Incarceration rates ranged from a low of 1.8 in Gilchrist County, to a high of 8.9 in Wakulla and Franklin Counties. Other counties may be experiencing high incarceration rates due to the contracting of bed space for federal inmates.Pretrial Population Levels
During the month of June 2004, 31,591 of the inmates housed in county detention facilities were classified as "Awaiting Trial." Of these, 25,784 offenders (81.6%) were awaiting trial for felony offenses while 5,807 (18.4%) were detained for misdemeanor violations. Of the 62 counties reporting, 35 had over half of their inmates awaiting trial.
Notes: The numbers in this report do not include the following facilities: Bradford County Jail, Monroe County Jail (Main facility), Okeechobee County Jail, Sumter County Jail, and Walton County Jail.

he's proving to be an unpopular choice. people just don't like the look of him. the Frankenstein's monster comparisons are everywhere. he doesn't look so bad with shorter hair though. they just need to give him eyebrows. his own are pretty non existent. that's what makes him look weird. unsettlingly so. kids which are the target audience need to take to him straight away and I don't think they will.

Russian Businessman to Address 'Russia at a Crossroads'

Did you know?
In 2000, for the first time in human history, the number of people in the world who were obese rose above the number of people suffering from hunger. Currently about 824 million people suffer from chronic hunger while 1.6 billion are overweight. (Swaziland, for example, is experiencing chronic food shortages, 55% of Swazi women are overweight or obese.)1
In northern Africa, the prevalence of overweight and obesity is particularly high among women: 51% percent of women are overweight. Women's obesity rates of 23 percent in Tunisia and 18 percent in Morocco represent a three-fold increase in 20 years.2
In the region of Sousse, Tunisia, the current prevalence of overweight and obesity is respectively 23.7% and 5.1% among girls, and 21.1% and 7% among boys3.

Talullas and Mediterranean Deli are both delicious, high-quality Mediterranean food — but I've always felt like they are mostly suited for "occasions." If you're looking for some great, reasonably-priced Mediterranean food that you can eat on the fly for lunch or dinner, you should definitely check out the new kid on the block: Pita Grill, located in the Timberlyne Shopping Center at 1129 Weaver Dairy Road.
Fresh on the scene and opened in late July, Pita Grill is a casual, quaint and cozy little place. The bright yellow walls sprinkled with decorative hookahs, and the openness between the action of the kitchen and the diners themselves all work together to create a simultaneously fun and relaxed ambiance of the place.
Offering a variety of different foods, from Greek lasagna and turkey wraps to the classic gyro platter, Pita Grill extends its reach in the spectrum of Mediterranean food — without sacrificing the original essence. Reasonably priced and diverse enough for multiple palates, Pita Grill serves as the perfect place for the casual college student or family looking for a quick and delicious lunch or dinner.
And I have to say, the food doesn't disappoint. I ordered a gyro platter while my sister went for a more eclectic option of humus, grape leaves, and falafel. The gyro meat was on point — perfectly seasoned and complemented by the tzatziki sauce poured over it. We didn't go for dessert this time, but as someone of Middle Eastern origin, I highly recommend that you try the baklava. Pita Grill also offers fresh fruit, rice pudding, and New York style cheesecake. The desserts are simple, clean, and if they are anything like the food, delicious.
This is a minor detail, but Pita Grill is a family-run business. This might not seem important, but I think my favorite restaurants are the ones where you feel like there is a palpable dynamic between all of the different components in the system. When you're eating there, you feel like you are experiencing a family, something you can't get everywhere you go. It's a unique and interesting experience, to say the least.
Pita Grill is the new kid on the scene, and I think it's definitely showing up. The food is great, the ambiance is fun, and it's exactly what the Timberlyne Shopping Center needed — a casual place to have well-priced but delicious food. I highly recommend that you go check it out!

I have done some work on wineboot, which is crucial for installers to work (it handles all of those actions that take place after reboot, as Windows is incapable of completing everything without a reboot due to locked files). Wineboot is still missing some minor functionality (running windows 3.1 type startups), as well as being automatically called every time wine is started. Problem is that there are a couple of BiDi features I want to put in before the next release, and last time Alexander announced a release the second wineboot was commited.
On the BiDi front, I am currently working on the font dialog. I'm adding charset selection to it. This is more of a "multilingual" thing than a BiDi thing, but still necessary.
Windows is a tangled mess of strange design decisions coupled with dead weight. The font dialog's sample text is in the resources as a control that is not visible. The information for this control is then taken as the rect coordinates where the text should be drawn manually. Then, there is another control, which is visible, but contains no useful display. There is some indication that the Windows code moves it around, but it doesn't seem to draw anything in it.
I can speculate that this control is there for application provided resources to put info there, and Windows will maintain it, but who is supposed to put info there if the entire piece of mess is undocumented, and windows doesn't put it there itself?
I have been contacted by a company that played around with Linux internally, and now they want to ship a Linux based product, and are confused by the legal implications of doing so. This happened even before I started really advertising myself as a consultant. Let's hope this manages to turn into business. Let's also hope that this is a sign for things to come.

Litespeed Titanium Derailleur Hanger - $65.00
This Litespeed Titanium Derailleur Hanger is shaped exactly like their C1R /C1/C2/C3 Derailleur Hanger, but as the name suggests, it's made of titanium. As such, it's intended for use on Litespeed's Titanium Archon and Xicon frame models. However, if you're a nut about lightweight trickery, these will bolt right onto the C-series bikes and save a miniscule few grams. The nice part about this design is that it places the threads for the fasteners in the hanger itself, rather than in the dropout on your frame. So a stripped bolt hole is no big deal -- a relatively inexpensive fix. It's also a failsafe for your titanium frame in the event of a crash. The hanger is designed to fail before your frame will, again meaning that you have a cheap, easy fix. We've always heard that good preparation is the best defense, so if you have a Litespeed titanium bike, you should have one of these Titanium Derailleur Hangers in your tool kit just in case. Its minimal design is possible because it's made of titanium and comes with two hex keyed fasteners. - $65.00

Frankly I don't know why the rest of us bother to post.
With your stellar grasp of the issues, the ability to differentiate between gross and net income and the Wickipedia definition of windfall profits I, for one, am duly impressed.
"The longer you let a dog go in the wrong direction the more they think they are going in the right direction" Don Remien.
I agree that 'gross vs net' is pretty remedial stuff. I only spelled it out because Legacy 6 obviously didn't understand it (and specifically asked for the definition of a 'windfall profit'.)
/Now back to our regularly scheduled sniping.
So backpasture why don't you just post your list off stupid people. We can all get our droll cups sit in the corner and read your words of wisdom. Or we could just turn RTF into your blog. That would be fun for all.

The profit is based on a % of invested money. I have a small construction business. But the way I figure my bids and profit is this. Exp. Say I have a 400 sheet drywall job. Not figuring any taping or framing. I order the sheetrock for .32 cents a foot or $6145 add 15% or $920 for supplying and looking at prints. Labor cost me about $50 an hour per guy. I charge $65. Any changes to these costs I raise my price accordingly. But my markup on materials is still 15%. It's not a windfall. An increase in materials cost means I'm risking more of my money to get the job done. I also add a markup if I"ve had prior dealings with the person and they were a pain in the ass, or tried to nickle and dime me.
I don't have to go further do I? Accounting 101 doesn't usually see the 2nd and 3rd order effects of taxes.

Gross Income.....money coming in. So you sell gas for $1.00 a gallon. That would be gross income. It costs you .10 gallon to buy it, .10 gallon to refine it, labor costs are .10 gallon. So the $1 minus the .30 would be .70. You then pay taxes ON the now its called Gross Profit. After you pay your taxes on that amount (gross profit) then you end up with Net Profit. Net profit is the amount you actually MAKE. So there are no more costs coming out of Net Profit. However, you (as a business owner) would not be doing a very good job if you did not keep track of your Gross Profit. Most companies have a certain percentage that they like to hit. Too high of a Gross Profit is price gouging (and may price yourself out of the market) and too low and you will go out of business. Gross Profit, THAT is where you make adjustments and then add to the price (might have to bump it up to $1.10 gal if tax rate jumps from say 20% to 30%). that is where the costs get passed on.
(please please accountants, this is the cliff note version, and very simplified. don't jump all over me)

You have until Sunday to vote for the name of April the giraffe's calf, whose name will be revealed Monday.
(RNN) - Colonel Meow might just be one of the grumpiest cats in the internet, if not the fluffiest, and has just one goal: world domination one Facebook "like" at a time.
He's well on his way with more than 60,000 "Likes" since August - and his popularity continues to grow. His aim is to take over Facebook superstar pet Boo's record, but he has a long way to go to match Boo's 5.4 million likes.
Armed with his favorite drink of scotch, or at least water disguised as scotch, Colonel Meow interacts with his "minions" through intense gazes at the camera and biting quips such as "Just because I'm laying down doesn't mean I don't have the energy to look at you with disgust."
His owner and partner in world domination, Anne Marie Avey, launched his Facebook page on Aug. 9 and has even launched a YouTube channel and Tumblr page in Colonel Meow's name. Avey, Colonel Meow and his minion Boots, the family golden retriever, live in Seattle.
Avey adopted Colonel Meow from the Himalayan and Persian Society, who ended up with the loveable yet angry kitty after he was found abandoned on the side of the road.
In an interview with Northwest Cable News, NWCN, Avey said Colonel Meow's personality prompted her to make the page.
"I would roll out of bed and look at Colonel and he would just be staring at me and I'd just start laughing," she told NWCN. "He had all these types of faces and positions he would get into and I just had to share it."
On Colonel Meow's Facebook page he describes himself as a cat who's afraid of birds, likes to eat, stare and sleep. But he also has a sensitive side.
"I'm really fluffy so I cough up a lot of hair balls. That scares me, so much so, that I will meow until someone comes and holds me."
Colonel Meow isn't the only grumpy cat making the rounds on the internet.
Tard, short for Tardar Sauce, is another perpetually grumpy cat who was born with a frown. The grumpy cat has gone viral since the brother of her owner posted pictures of her to Reddit a couple of weeks ago.
Tard even made a visit to CBS 5 in Phoenix, where Tard and her family live.
While Colonel Meow hasn't declared war upon Tard, yet, the two are a new trend in online cat photos and videos that is a stark contrast to the usual balls of kitten fluff that make their viral rounds.

24 breaks for bookworms

Lovina stretches along 8km of black-sand beach, the largest resort in Bali outside the Kuta–Legian–Seminyak conurbation. While the peak season (June–Aug & Dec) is busy, Lovina is a whole lot sleepier than the southern resorts, although there's some nightlife and activity centres on the beach, with snorkelling, diving and dolphin-watching as diversions. It's also an ideal base for exploring the whole of the north coast and the volcanic areas inland.
Beginning 6km west of Singaraja, the resort encompasses six villages, from east to west: Pemaron, Tukad Mungga, Anturan, Kalibukbuk (including a side road, to the east of the centre, known as Banyualit), Kaliasem and Temukus.
Kalibukbuk is the centre of Lovina and full of accommodation, restaurants and tourist facilities. East of here, in Tukad mungga (where the beach is known as Pantai Happy), the small fishing village of Anturan and along the Banyualit side road Jalan Laviana, 1.5km from the centre, it tends to be quieter despite the development of losmen and restaurants. West of Kalibukbuk, restaurants and accommodation line the roadside in the villages of Kaliasem and Temukus. Road noise is the enemy here; only consider accommodation set far enough back to block the noise out.
Lovina is famous (or infamous) for dawn trips to see the dolphins that frolic off the coast; opinions are evenly split between those who think it's grossly overrated and those who consider it one of the best things on Bali. It's pretty much the luck of the draw: some days there is little to see while on others the dolphins cavort around and under the boats in a grand display. Book directly with the skippers on the beach or through your accommodation.
The skippers also know the best spots on the local reef for snorkelling, and dive operators will take snorkellers on dive trips further afield if they have space; this is more expensive but offers greater variety.
Situated between the main north-coast diving areas, Lovina is an ideal base for diving, with fun dives in the Lovina area and further afield at Pulau Menjangan, Tulamben and Amed all available, though you will have to drive for at least 1hr 30min to reach each of these sites. The local reef, perhaps unfairly, has a reputation as being uninteresting, though there's an excellent range of fish, and tyres, an old car and a small boat have been placed on the reef to encourage coral growth.

Has anyone watched any really good movies that were recently released on dvd? or just in general for that matter? I'm hurtin' to watch a quality film that I haven't seen yet. Any and all recommendations would be appreciated.

Dir. Tommy Wirkola
AKA Død Snø
A group of medical students on a skiing holiday in deepest, whitest Norway come face to face with marauding zombie Nazis…
Yes. Zombie Nazis.
Dead Snow is every bit as preposterous as it sounds. In a similar vein to Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland, Wirkola's striking looking film is an outrageous comedy-horror that deftly mixes chills with chuckles and gore with guffaws. The film sets its tone in the opening scene as a young woman flees in terror across a desolate snowscape accompanied by the strains of Dukas's mischievous symphony The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Director Wirkola wisely keeps her pursuers to the shadows and we only catch the briefest glimpses of them before they set upon the unfortunate woman and tear her asunder.
The film's cine-literate characters are an amiable bunch and the script (by Wirkola and Stig Frode Henriksen) takes time to establish group dynamics and ease us into the company of the group before all hell breaks loose… And unlike the vast majority of their fellow horror-genre teens, this lot at least make an attempt to work together and fend off the attacks, remaining as level-headed and practical as the situation allows. To begin with anyway.
Whilst the film exhibits its fair share of horror clichés and doesn't really cover any new ground, Dead Snow manages to tackle a familiar story in a frantic and irreverent manner that ensures it remains entertaining throughout. Besides, there are enough shots of blood on snow to make up for the clichés that speckle the script, including the inclusion of a slasher stock character akin to Crazy Ralph from Friday the 13th, whose sole purpose is to tell the students about the area's dubious and blood-soaked history and gloomily extol warnings. A gripping scene involving the demise of this nomadic doom-laden wanderer occurs early on as he sets up camp in the middle of the night. Sensing he is not alone, he looks outside his isolated tent. In a haunting, atmospheric and utterly tense few moments we follow his torch light across the dark, snow covered ground to reveal the startling vision of a figure in unmistakable WWII garb looming out of the snow-flecked night… What follows is brief, but memorable. And red. Very red.
When we eventually see them in all their glory, the Nazi zombies are indeed a sight to remember. Standing resplendent and domineering, albeit bloodily so, in the midst of the snow covered landscape, they cut an imposing swath, particularly the ghoulishly grinning Colonel Herzog (Ørjan Gamst).
References to the likes of Evil Dead abound throughout Dead Snow, and not just because the characters discuss Raimi's spooky gore-fest with salivating relish whilst staying in an isolated cabin in the middle of nowhere. The film's warped and outrageously grotesque sense of humour is very knowing and whilst it blatantly nods to other genre classics it successfully negates the sort of patronising, 'we're-all-just-so-fucking-post-modern-aren't-we' humour of say, Kevin Williamson. The banter between Erlend and Chris (Jeppe Laursen and Jenny Skavlan) is particularly entertaining from an avid horror fan's point of view. Their conversations about old slasher movies and zombie flicks don't seem forced or contrived, after all, what fans of horror don't discuss their favourite films with newfound kindred spirits? In light of their obsession with the likes of Friday the 13th and April Fool's Day, its interesting to see how these characters fare when they realise they are soon to face horror on a more first-hand basis…
The savagery of the attacks on the students is at times quite astounding given the film's tongue-in-cheekiness. The amount of blood that splashes across pristine snow is astounding. The special effects are overtly splashy and gross and will no doubt sate the appetite of even the most ravenous gore hound. All manner of implements are used to comical and shocking effect as the stand-off between the increasing numbers of Nazi zombies and ever depleting group of students mounts; including chainsaws, hammers, snowmobiles, axes and guns… Apparently 475 quarts of fake blood were used during the making of this film. That is a LOT of red stuff. Events veer even further into Evil Dead territory when an impromptu amputation occurs, whilst another particularly outlandish moment features someone dangling over the edge of a precipice, grimly hanging on to the still attached intestine of a recently gutted zombie. Splat-schtick indeed.
Dead Snow is a novel and tongue-in-decomposing-cheek zombie-fest with a wicked sense of humour boasting slick production values that belie its low budget. Wirkola makes effective use of the startlingly beautiful location of Øksfjord in the far north of Norway. Sweeping snow strewn vistas encroached upon by the blackest, densest forests in which it would be all too easy to get lost, are lusted after by Matthew Weston's chilly cinematography.
Bloody good fun.

Sadly, I attribute this to the dumbing down of America to meet the lowest common denominator. People just don't care about issues any more complicated than who's going to win American Idol
The average American can't even find Afghanistan on a map, much less understand why we have soldiers there. They don't even try to dumb down something like Pelosi's accusations and if any right winger brings up the felonies of the left, they get called 'the undrugged few' or worse.
The average American can't find their home state on a US map, can't name their US Senators, a Justice of SCOTUS and likely has no clue about political issues, yet they are allowed to vote. Thats scary.

I was just reading about how hasbro has picked up the license for Star Trek toys and one of the ships will be a big Enterprise. However, what was interesting about the description was that it referenced the success of the BMF and the anticipated success of the Big AT-AT and Big Slave I.
Is this more April fools junk, misinformation, or did a close to the vest secret about a Big Slave I just get leaked???
