About ACO Salon Concerts >>
The New York Times, Corinna da Foncseca-Wollheim (June 6, 2014):
"A vibrant performance of Mozart's "Prague" Symphony capped the concert of the American Classical Orchestra on Thursday at Alice Tully Hall and, with it, the ensemble's season....The crisp and engaging program, conducted by the orchestra's charismatic music director Thomas Crawford, also included the "Symphony in D" by Josef Myslivecek, a Czech composer Mozart befriended and admired; "Moldau-Klänge," a collection of waltzes by the elder Johann Strauss; and an insightful performance of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1 — which received its premiere in Prague in 1798 — by the gifted Dutch fortepianist Bart van Oort."
The New York Times, Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim (March 21, 2014): "The hourlong semi-staged performance of "Alceste," which marked the culmination of this year's Handelfest, was sensitively directed by Cynthia Edwards. She made the most of the radiant young members of the American Classical Orchestra Chorus, who moved about the stage with natural grace. Two dancers, Lindsey Jones and Weaver Rhodes, fleshed out the silent roles of Alceste and Admetus, the lovers separated by death and then reunited. Their elegant movements, choreographed by John Heginbotham, combined stylized gestures and a certain sweet diffidence that fit the music well."
The New York Classical Review, George Grella (March 20, 2014): "The lingering impression from Wednesday night's concluding Handelfest 2014 concert, played by the American Classical Orchestra and singers at Alice Tully Hall, is that New York City has its own bona fide early music orchestra, and a good one."
The New York Times, James R. Oestreich (March 5, 2014): "...the portrayal was strong and moving in its own right, and it was well matched by that of the sturdy mezzo-soprano Virginia Warnken as Micah, Samson's faithful friend, constantly assessing the damage to his persona. Both sacrificed exactitude of pitch to expressiveness at times, though to generally good effect. The two bass-baritones — John Taylor Ward as Manoa, Samson's father, and Andrew Padgett as the Philistine warrior Harapha — sang well. So did the soloists drawn from the excellent American Classical Orchestra Chorus, especially the sopranos Sarah Brailey and Marcy Richardson."
The instruments used by Baroque and Classical period composers such as Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven, were made of different materials and were often shaped differently as compared with their modern counterparts.
The sound of period instruments differs dramatically from that of instruments created from the latter part of the 19th century until today. Performances of even the most familiar masterpieces on period instruments result in a unique musical experience that is wholly fresh and alive.
Members of the American Classical Orchestra are renowned musicians who are passionate about the unique tonal qualities that period instruments lend to early music. Their passion and love for their art and the brilliant interpretations of the music by ACO's Music Director Thomas C. Crawford bring an intense excitement to each performance.

5 Worst Kids' Meals and 5 Alternatives When Eating Out
The Center for Science in the Public Interest, and Yale's Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity, share a common concern — and it involves the brightly colored, boisterous cartoons hocking fast-food meals to children. Each are worried because a report by Yale's Rudd Center, Fast Food FACTS, found that a fast food meal increases the daily caloric intake by 126 calories for children, and 310 calories for teens.
The Mayo Clinic estimates a moderately active girl between the ages of 4 and 8 requires 1,400 to 1,600 calories per day; a boy who is 4 to 8 needs the same amount. For girls aged 9 to 13, they need 1,600 to 2,000 calories per day. A boy of the same age and lifestyle needs a few more, somewhere between 1,800 to 2,200. Children who are sedentary need even less. As part of Fast Food FACTS, the report includes information on the best, and worst, items at fast food restaurants. The report warns that even the "best" may not really be best option, because other important nutrients are missing.
The goal instead is to raise awareness of how these highly caloric meals are affecting children's health. Especially since the characters, and advertising that target children explicitly, are trying to draw them in as customers. The following were chosen by selecting the first time a fast food restaurant was listed on the "Worst kids' meal combinations" list, then, to compare and potentially provide a better option, the first time that company was listed on the "Best kids' meal combinations" list was included.


text: Many years ago, a little girl was rushed to a rural county hospital from summer camp for an emergency appendectomy. As a teenager, she received antibiotics for a bad case of pneumonia. When she grew up and was about to deliver her first child, fetal monitors indicated that the baby's heart rate had slowed, and a Cesarian section was performed urgently. In middle age, she underwent laparoscopic repair of an injured knee.

Firefighters battling the Panther Fire in northern California's Tehama County say they can't remember seeing this kind of fire behavior so early in the season. Dry weather and early heat are partly to blame.

These ladies have some nice tats.
Pixie is a close friend of Kat Von D's and was her shop manager on Seasons 1 and 2 of TLC's LA Ink. Pixie is also a makeup artist for photo shoots and music videos.
Of her tattoos, Pixie says, "I was 14 when I got my first tattoo and by the time I was 17 I had like fifteen or twenty. I got my first piercing the same time I got my first tattoo. I don't know what it was — I think I'm creative and I always saw tattoos and piercings as a cool way to adorn yourself."
Persia White-
Persia White is an actress best known as Lynn Searcy on Girlfriends. She is also a member of the industrial rock band XEO3.
Of her tattoos, Persia says, "I have two magnolias. They're an homage to the South and Billy Holiday's Strange Fruit about the lynchings which occurred there--a reminder of how beauty can come from tragedy. The black bars mark change, like marks on a tree. The other is about a negative space; how we must embrace it. We must have the balance of yin and yang. My first tattoo is the cross on my back. I was in my 20s. I had it placed on my spine opposite a chakra point. It represents my life's journey; moving forward."
Check out Persia's Photo Gallery!
Hannah Aitchison-
Hannah was on seasons 1-3 of LA Ink with Kat Von D, Pixie, and Kim Saigh. Based out of Chicago as a tattoo artist at Deluxe Tattoo, Hannah's pin-ups, portraits, and bright color are would renowned. Plus, she's a classically trained singer.
During an interview, Hannah said the following about her favorite tattoo on her body, "My favorite tends to change depending on where my head is at! Right now I love love love the Mucha-esque female face on my right forearm done by the wonderful Sabine Gaffron in Berlin."
Hayden Panettiere-
Hayden doesn't have a ton of ink, but she's young and there's room for plenty more. She's on this list because her tattoo is well known - for a misspelling that is. Her tattoo says, "Vivere senza rimipianti" or "Live without regrets". But there's one too many i's in rimipianti which is spelled rimpianti.
Wonder if she regrets that?
Kim Saigh-
Kim Saigh is a top female tattoo artist based in Chicago and also known for being on seasons 1-3 of LA Ink with Kat Von D, Pixie, and Hannah.
Kim had an eyeball tattoo on her right shoulder that Corey Miller covered with a purple rose, of it she said, "That was '90s-fantastic. It was my cheesy idea that he executed beautifully. Actually, that tattoo held up so well. It didn't spread [and] it didn't fade, which is really good testimony to his skills. But I've seen a few purple roses on women's shoulders."
Casey Patridge-
The sister of this month's covergirl, Audrina Patridge, Casey has appeared on MTV's The Hills a few times, and is well known for her love of ink!
Brooke Weisbender-
Brooke was a 2008 Hometown Hottie finalist.
Brooke said, "I have three tattoos. One on upper left shoulder of the Buddhist Eightfold Path written in Tibetian Sandskrit, one on my lower back of a horse jumping that I got when I was 15, and one on the upper front right of my pelvis that says Maxima Girl."
Check out Brooke's Hometown Hottie Finalist gallery.
Eve is an American rapper, singer and actress known well for the two paw print tattoos on her chest.
She also has an additional tattoo on her left arm.
Check out Eve's page on Blender.com
Kat Von D-
After starting out as the only female tattoo artist on TLC's Miami Ink, Kat left to open her own shop in LA, and to have her own TV show, LA Ink. For almost a year, Kat held a Guinness World Record for the most tattoos in a 24 hour period, with a whopping 400.
Said of her choice in tattoos, "I like to get stuff that I like to look at. Most of my tattoos are just pretty girls and pretty flowers."
Well, we like to look at her!

Angelina Jolie-
Angelina has a love for tattoos (12), and tattoo removals(3).
On her left arm, she originally had Billy Bob's name and an Asian dragon, after five removal sessions, you can still see a bit of the tattoo; so she had it covered with the geographical coordinates of the locations where her children first entered her life.
On her left shoulder blade, is a Buddhist Pali incanation written in Khmer script, the native language of Cambodia. She got it to protect herself and her son Maddox from bad luck.
The translation is:
"May your enemies run far away from you.
If you acquire riches, may they remain yours always.
Your beauty will be that of Apsara.
Wherever you may go, many will attend, serve and protect you, surrounding you on all sides."
For the movie Wanted the makeup department added more tattoos, of this Angelina said, "I loved it. I wanted to get tattooed when I finished the film. I had four or five on my arms, a big piece on my back and two on my bottom. I can't keep track of how many real ones I have now."

Megan Fox-
"Every time I get a tattoo, it's a little fuck-you to anyone who tells me not to. It's weird to be part of Hollywood, which tries to control every aspect of people, from what they say to the color of their hair. And I like the way getting a tattoo feels. If I'm depressed, it's nice to get one and deal with the pain. I have one all the way down to my ribs. It hurt, but it felt good–like twisting a loose tooth. I'm not kidding when I say that if I ever lose a role because of my tattoos, I'll quit Hollywood and go to work at Costco."- Megan Fox The tattoo seen on her right scapula here says: "We will all laugh at gilded butterflies." It's a reference from Shakespeare's tragedy King Lear. On her left rib cage: "There once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her heart." Additionally, she has a Marilyn Monroe tattoo on her inner right forearm, a moon and a star above her ankle, "Brian" in script between her pelvic bone and hip, a yin and yang on her wrist, and the Chinese symbol of strength on her neck.

ATLANTA (AP) - The Georgia Public Service Commission is holding a hearing next week on a proposed Georgia Power Rate Increase.
Commission spokesman Bill Edge said Tuesday that the Oct. 1 hearing will feature a public comment session on the utility's plan to increase rates beginning in January 2014.
Edge says Georgia Power filed a request in June to increase rates by $280 million - which translates to a monthly fee of about $4.55 for residential customers who use 1,000 kilowatt-hours per month.
In an alternate three-year proposal, the company requested the commission to approve a plan to allow the utility to increase its retail rates by $482 million - which would be an increase of about $7.84 per month for customers using 1,000 kilowatt-hours.
Edge says public testimony may continue Oct. 2.

Situated close to an extensive beach – the only one in Norfolk to face west – Heacham Beach sits on the glorious North Norfolk coast between the seaside resort of Hunstanton and the Georgian market town of King's Lynn. North Norfolk is home to some of the most spectacular wide sandy beaches in the country, many of which offer coastal paths and superb opportunities for birdwatching. Hunstanton boasts an excellent aquarium and the Sea Life Sanctuary, both a firm favourite with children. The Heacham Lavender fields, seal trips from beautiful Blakeney Point and a visit to Sandringham House offer something for everyone, and historic King's Lynn, with its many attractions and ancient Gaol House, is well worth a visit.

Food Science: Why Vinaigrettes Separate
As we passed a jar of vinaigrette around the table at a recent dinner party, one of the other guests asked if we knew why homemade vinaigrettes separated while most store-bought vinaigrettes didn't. This is what we replied...
Homemade oil and vinegar salad dressings - vinaigrettes - are technically called temporary emulsions. This means that the oil and liquid, which naturally wouldn't join together, can be temporarily interspersed within each other by rapid whisking or shaking. But because there's nothing really holding the oil and water droplets together on a chemical level, they eventually separate back out again.
Commercial salad dressings are usually made with a lot of additives and emulsifying agents that keep the vinaigrette from separating. Some of them are natural, like lecithin (found in egg yolks). Others are, shall we say, not quite so natural.
If you want to keep your homemade vinaigrette from separating so quickly, you can slow things down by adding other ingredients like mustard, black pepper, or dried spices. You can even suspend it permanently by whisking in an egg yolk. These other ingredients also make the vinaigrette thicker and creamier.
But rest assured, it's perfectly normal for vinaigrettes to separate and doesn't mean that anything has gone wrong!
What's your favorite kind of vinaigrette?

My favorite kind has got to be a basic balsamic vinaigrette. I usually do 1:1 with balsamic vinegar and olive oil (I like it tart!) and then add a little bit of maple syrup for sweetness and a small bit of mayo to help it emulsify. And salt and pepper, of course.
If I'm not feeling the balsamic vinaigrette, I'll use apple cider vinegar...though that is usually a bit more tart and so I'll do something more like a 1:2 vinegar to oil ratio.
I love pungent balsamic/olive oil vinegarettes --
One of my favorite dressings of all time is super easy -- one part italian dressing (home made or store bought), one part balsamic, one part olive oil. Put this over a salad of crunchy bibb lettuce, bleu cheese, thinly sliced red onion, and toasted walnuts --- MMMMmmmm. Add a little cold chicken and/or bacon and it's a meal by itself.
i don't really like emulsified vinaigrettes anyway. a quick stir or shake of my homemade one does the trick.
my fav is modified french vinaigrette, using a champagne or muscat vinegar (1 part vinegar to 2 parts fruity olive oil). i chop (not mince) LOTS of shallot, a bit of dijon, and S P to taste. it's a really nice, more delicate vinagrette.
Champagne vinaigrette. It's lighter than balsamic vinaigrette, which is too tart for my liking.
A sweet-tart balsamic vinagrette...I'm more of a 1:1 kind of girl, too, made with the best oo, a tsp. or so of sugar or honey and salt and pepper. This is our standby. Fantastic with blue cheese crumbles, craisins and toasted almonds over mixed greens. Add grilled chicken if you like.
I also adore a Champagne vinagrette. MUST have minced shallots and is best with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to freshen it up. Delicious on chilled asparagus, artichokes or watermelon. Or salad, of course.
Another different but SUPER fabulous one is:
fresh squeezed lime juice and brown sugar in about 2:1 or 1:1, minced shallot, very thinly sliced serrano or other hot pepper, and chopped cilantro. You're going for about an equal proportion of shallot/pepper/cilantro mix to liquid, so just use a fork and stir rather than trying to whisk. I use this constantly in the summer over a salad of chopped romaine or butter lettuce, julienned sweet peppers, fresh mango and pineapple and grilled pork or chicken. Insanely addictive. Plus, no fat or oil!
My favorite is the one I prepared last night to dress our greens: diced shallot or red onion, vinegar-sherry, red/white wine, balsamic, apple cider, etc., spoonful of dijon, salt/pepper and a generous steady stream of Bariani's extra virgin olive oil.
I always add a bit of mustard, which acts as an emulsifier (the herbs and spices, while yummy, will not actually do much to keep it from separating).
I'm a fickle salad eater. I go through spells where it's all about one kind of dressing and then I dump that one and go to the next. My latest love has been a spicy Korean dressing (I'm posting the recipe later this week, in fact) but I just broke up with a great creamy sesame dressing that really deserves to be loved by others:
My go-to is balsalmic, but recently I've been kind of into vinaigrette with sherry vinegar and a squeeze of lime juice.
I find when I blend my vinaigrettes with an emersion blender they tend to hold together for quite a while. I think the speed of the blender just takes it to a level that my shaking, no matter how aggressive, can not get to.
I always make mine with mustard (a sweet hot mustard is ideal,) but it always seperates anyway. When it seperates in the fridge, my top layer (fats) solidifies and that drives me crazy.
Mostly balsamic vinegar with just enough oil to stick to the food. I love vinegar. My husband laughs because I have no issues eating just vinegar on any food and sometimes a shot of plain apple cider vinegar.

The remnants of Dorian are still struggling to remain relevant.
The National Hurricane Center does not even officially recognize Dorian as a tropical depression anymore because of the system's poor circulation and current status.
Currently, there is an upper level low blocking Dorian's path and this will continue to inhibit development through wind shear. However, the low seems to me moving slightly to the NNW, which if this low does eventually move out of the way, this may give way for Dorian to in fact begin to strengthen and organize if it can develop enough convection. Most models do not currently forecast Dorian to strengthen by very much, however the NHC has declared a 50% chance of redevelopment within the next 48 hours.
If Dorian does find the power to strengthen, then many models call for the trough exiting the United States to help pull this storm to the north around south Florida, thus impacting the area. Be this as it may, the system right now looks to be more of a rain maker than a strong tropical system.
Even though Dorian is not officially even a tropical depression currently, we will continue to monitor Dorian for redevelopment until any potential threat to the Gulf of Mexico is gone.
Overall, Dorian has the chance to redevelop, but the odds are not in its favor and if it does redevelop, it does not look to be a very strong system.
Dorian at this point is not expected to affect Central Louisiana.
Elsewhere, tropical development is not expected during the next 48 hours.
For a continued look into the tropics, follow the link below to the First Alert Hurricane Center.

Base 2 is binary notation working in powers of 2 and base 10 is what we use normally counting from one to ten.
You can see the difference when look at the hard drive space in your operating system. An 80 GB hard drive will show up as roughly 74GB. The 6GB wasn't used or reserved; hard drive manufacturers market their hard drives in base 10 so 1000 bytes equals 1 kilobyte, but computers work in binary (base 2) so to computers 1024 bytes equals 1 kilobyte.

PITTSBURGH – Randy Carlyle is looking to stoke a fire under a player who is typically full of fury. The Leafs head coach had an up-front conversation with Mikhail Grabovski at the tail-end of Wednesday's morning skate at Consol Energy Center, impressing upon him the need for increased tenacity or a return to his usual form. "He has to play with more fire and more of his natural personality versus what we're seeing now," Carlyle said. "In his defence, he's just trying to be cautious and be in the right place at the right time ... [But] the reality for him is that we need more fire and more nastiness from him."
"I need to put gas in my tank," Grabovski agreed, his usual wit still in fine form.
The Leafs highest-paid forward has yet to hit the scoresheet in two games this season and has yet to actually even attempt a shot. "I need more shots to the net," he acknowledged Wednesday morning, "you can't score if you don't shoot so that's my key for tonight."
Typically full of bite, Grabovski has been missing the requisite jump to his step in the early going this year. His line – which had included Nik Kulemin and Clarke MacArthur – has been charged with shutting down opposing top units, and is still expected to play a prominent role offensively. While still early, that pop has been sporadic and the usual defensive sturdiness just a tad off; the Sabres scored both goals in a 2-1 win with Grabovski's line on the ice.
Carlyle has been refreshingly honest with his expectations for individuals in the early stages of his Toronto tenure, requesting more jam from James van Riemsdyk just a day earlier. On Wednesday, he'll likely task Grabovski and his linemates – van Riemsdyk may join the unit with Kulemin – with slowing one of Evgeni Malkin or Sidney Crosby, as great a challenge as there is in the game today. "They're great players and I really enjoy playing against these players," Grabovski said, "but it's really hard to play against these players.
"For me, we'll have [a] lot of chances to score goals against these lines because they think about offence always."
Last year, Grabovski topped the 20-goal mark for the third time in his career, also adding 28 assists for a 51-point campaign. In March, he agreed to a five-year extension with the Leafs, a contract that began this season.
"I feel good," he concluded, "but I need more fire. Fire burn the ice."

President's Message — July 2014
As the new President/CEO of your Credit Union, I'd like to take some time to introduce myself. My name is John F. King and I am the former Executive Vice President/COO of Freedom Credit Union. I have over 40 years of experience in the credit union movement and I am just as enthusiastic about it now as I was back then.
First, I would like to thank Lee T. MacMinn for his years of service and helping Freedom become the great place it is today. Working with Lee for 15 years was a great experience and I wish him the best in his retirement. I would also like to thank the Freedom Credit Union Board of Directors for entrusting me with the responsibility of growing the credit union and offering our valued Members the best financial products in the region.
My primary goal as the new President/CEO of Freedom is to continue in the cooperative spirit of "People Helping People." That is the true credit union difference. We, as Members, work cooperatively to help improve the lives of other Members. It's a motto that I've followed for my entire career and will continue to focus on as I take on my new role at Freedom.
Some of the areas where we plan on growing the credit union in the coming years, with your help, are in technology and lending. Offering Members technologically based products, such as the new Mobile Banking platform that we will introduce later in 2014, will make doing business with Freedom quick, easy and convenient which is a goal we have as an organization. We know that our Members' lives are busy, so we want to take away the stress of managing your finances.
Also, a primary goal is to save our Members more money. We have started a program where Freedom's outbound lending consultants may give you a call to save money on a loan that is elsewhere. If you have a loan at another financial institution, there's a pretty good chance we can save you money. The process can be done completely online with no need to visit our offices. Give us a call - I'm pretty confident we can help save you money each month but we won't know unless you give us a chance.
Members are the reason we exist. If we didn't have your participation in the Credit Union we would not be as successful as we currently are today. This is why it is important to me to know what you think about your credit union. So if you have any suggestions on how to improve Freedom Credit Union, please contact me. On behalf of the Board of Directors and the staff of Freedom, I personally want to thank you for your Membership.
John F. King, President/CEO

Crew midfielders Kevan George and Tony Tchani volunteered at Faith Mission Community Kitchen, near Crew Stadium Monday afternoon. The players assisted in serving lunch, as well as preparing future meals for local families in need.
Goalkeeper Matt Lampson, the Spokesperson for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Central Ohio attended both the Summer Heroes Social at the OhioHealth Chiller Ice Rink in Dublin and the Light the Night Kick Off events recently. Matt, a lymphoma survivor, spent these two evenings by visiting with LLS heroes and their families, sharing his story and talking about the importance of being involved with the LLS.
Wil Trapp and Frankie Hejduk recently took the Active Bodies, Active Minds program on the road to over 1,200 Central Ohio YMCA summer campers during their annual Spirit Day. The current and former Crew stars participated in several games with the children, while discussing the importance of exercising and reading every day. For more information on the Active Bodies, Active Minds program and to sign up, please visit www.thecrew.com/active.
After a training session to prepare for Saturday's match against the New York Red Bulls, the Crew hit the links at Pinnacle Golf Club in Grove City for the Crew Soccer Foundation Golf Classic. LPGA pro and fellow Barbasol/Pure Silk team member Natalie Gulbis was the guest of honor, answering fan inquiries in a question-and-answer session and teaching the trade secrets in a short game clinic. Over 120 golfers participated in the event, with proceeds benefitting the Crew Soccer Foundation's Kirk Urso Memorial Fund.
The Urso Fund provides a platform to develop and support youth heart health research and programming to honor Urso's memory. The Crew midfielder passed away suddenly at the age of 22 of an Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy on August 5, 2012.
Frankie Hejduk made a surprise visit to the Tray Lee Center for their end of the summer BBQ on Friday. The children performed a few dances for Frankie before a boys vs. girls pick-up game broke out with the former Columbus Crew captain. The game, after a late goal from the boys in added time, ended in a 3-3 draw.
Crew Players Kyle Hyland, Shawn Sloan and Eric Gehrig spent Monday afternoon with the patients of Nationwide Children's Hospital. The children were able to play games and create arts and crafts projects with the players during the visit.
Columbus Crew players Wil Trapp and Ryan Finley teamed up this week with Columbus Metropolitan Library branches in Gahanna and Whetstone to read soccer books and talk to children about the importance of reading. The readings come just days before The Crew launch its Get a Kick Out of Reading program that runs during the month of August. For more information on how to participate in this program and to download the reading scoresheet , please visit www.thecrew.com/read.
Crew players Josh Williams, Andy Gruenebaum, Konrad Warzycha, Ben Speas, Shawn Sloan and Ethan Finlay spent Monday afternoon playing games and hanging out with children from the Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio at Dave & Buster's. The Black & Gold will work again with the DSACO when Crew Stadium will host its annual Buddy Walk on Sunday, September 22.
Crew Homegrown defender Chad Barson joined the Children Defense Fund's Freedom Schools program to read aloud and talk to children about the importance of reading on Monday morning. The reading comes just two weeks before The Crew launches its Get a Kick Out of Reading program that runs during the month of August.

The Columbus Crew welcomed special guest Lucas Swanson to Crew Stadium on Saturday night through the club's Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Hero program.

Lampson also serves as the local spokesperson for the LLS of Central Ohio.

During La Niña winter months (see La Niña story in Weather 101), Arizona usually has less precipitation than would normally be expected.
Those relatively dry winters bring into focus a weather phenomenon known as the Madden-Julian Oscillation because it's typically the only thing that brings rain into Arizona during La Niña's winter grip.
Scientists, Drs. Roland Madden and Paul Julian, discovered the pattern that oscillates, or develops, moves and falls apart, in 30-90 day cycles.
The wind along the equator blows from east to west.
Figure 1: Wind blows from east to west along the equator. Here: the eastern Pacific.
Figure 2: Wind blows from east to west along the equator. Here: the western Pacific.
Within that flow, especially in the very warm Indian Ocean region, clusters of thunderstorms form.
Figure 3: Clusters of thunderstorms form over the Indian Ocean.

Johanne Lapointe (qu�bec, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Leveraging the Universe and Engaging the Magic (Audio CD)
Driving alone for hours can get to me! But time passes really fast while listening to these CDs on the road. The best part : I get out of the car feeling refresh and ready for the magic to manifest itself in my life. And it works... every time!
4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Read,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Leveraging the Universe: 7 Steps to Engaging Life's Magic (Hardcover)
It may be helpful to read Mike Dooleys earlier books before starting this one. It is still a very helpful book and one that you could pick up and read relevant chapters over again in the future.
5.0 out of 5 stars VERY MOTIVATING,
Lady Isis (Kingston, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Leveraging the Universe and Engaging the Magic (Audio CD)
This man is wonderful... He speaks in a language that everyone can understand; he does not talk above you. He is straight up and honest. I recommend listening to this audio as frequently as possible. The more you listen, the more you will get out of it. It will start to change the way you think about your life. He shows you with his life stories that, what you think can truly affect you now and in the future. The past is in the past and we should look forward. We should just keep on moving forward at all times and never give up our dreams.

Comments On Aug 11, 2014:I bought a Pirelli Scorpion XCMH back tire for my KTM.
After 3 rides the tire is almost done. It was used only in trail rides, with roots and some rocks. The traction wasn't that good and I had to ride it at 9 psi to actually get good traction.
They must have changed the compound since everybody says it's a good tire. It's really really bad, I will never buy again Pirelli tires..

Comments On Aug 06, 2014:Compared to other tires I've had under the same circumstances, this tire wore out extremely quickly.
I bought them for a week of riding out in Colorado on the western slope (mix of rock and dirt) and the rear was almost done after two rides. After the whole week, it's more worn than any rear I've ever had on the bike. It's completely roached, and I don't ride like a maniac.
They provided decent grip and feel while they lasted, but WOW did the rear go away fast. The front seems to have worn pretty normally.

Comments On Aug 06, 2014:The front tire works great for me at 12 to 13 psi and is wearing very well. I will definitely use it again. The back tire has incredible grip. I found 8 psi to work best in the back. The rear wears pretty fast otherwise I would have given them 5 stars. DOT approved is a plus also.

Comments On Jun 02, 2014:I have used several of the soft-mid terrain tires and love them, so I decided to try the mid-hard tire, the traction when the tire is new is marginal at best. I destroyed this tire in one weekend. It wore out in less than 100 miles.

Comments On Dec 29, 2013:Did they change the compound? This tire seems to wear better than the last one I tried a couple years back. Really like the handling and holding up well after a dozen or so rides.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Dec 10, 2013:I bought the front tire only. It's predictable and works fine in hard pack and sand. I put new tires front & rear on my bike, and this front is wearing at the same rate as the rear (Kenda trackmaster). Normally I have to replace 2 rears to one front, but pavement seems to sand this tire down quicker than I expected for a DOT tire.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Oct 04, 2013:These tires worked well. I ride mainly on a track, starts off wet and gets harder as the day goes on-like most tracks-. Worked well front and rear. Rear worn really well for riding a 450. Front-still evaluating, but happy with it so far. Would buy again.

Comments On Aug 23, 2013:I've only tried the rear, so I can't comment on the front. The rear has the stiffest sidewall I've ever seen. I sat on the mounted tire with the valve stem removed from my tube and it barely moved! I've had to run really low PSI (5-6) to compensate for the stiff sidewall, and although no flats, I don't like running such low pressure (even in a HD tube). Traction is just average but it lasts a fairly long time.

Comments On Aug 16, 2013:good traction, lasts long on serious hard pack, dont get to close to me unless you like to eat rocks!!! LOL.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Mar 21, 2013:I used the XCMH on my KTM 450 with Tubliss, running 0-8psi, and the traction was good on sand, rocks, and everything in between. Even with abuse like running 70+mph on mostly flat tires, I still got about 1000 miles out of them.
I just ordered another set for my RXV and am looking forward to getting out again!

Wonderstruck : a novel in words and pictures

What other readers are saying about this title:
Grandma Barbara said:
Good. Two converging stories. Until they meet, the flashback is in pictures only and the current time is in words. Very nicely done. A 600 page childrens book but more than half pictures and many very short chapters. This is my first experience with a graphic novel and I really liked the art: there are no word balloons in the pictures because the heroine is deaf - a nice touch. The pictures of Gunflint Trail wolves are fantastic.

Brian Selznick's debut novel, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, won the Caldecott Medal. Selznick's second book, Wonderstruck, continues to push the boundaries of the illustrated novel format. Just as Hugo Cabret told a good portion of its story through full-page black-and-white drawings, Wonderstruck is also full of Selznick's trademark illustrations. But this time, half the novel is told through pictures alone—the story of Rose, a girl in the 1920s who becomes enchanted with a beautiful actress. Ben's story, set in 1977 as he runs away from home, is told in words. Combined, the stories of Rose and Ben offer tales of mystery and intrigue that wind and weld through a union of art and prose. Selznick has become an expert at mixing elements of the novel, graphic novel, picture book, and film, and Wonderstruck continues to cement his reputation as a visionary in his field.

Nearly 100 Jackson residents received a lesson in human trafficking Saturday morning at Covenant Presbyterian Church.
Advocates for Freedom, or AFF, says it has helped 92 victims in Mississippi, in just two years.
"A human being can be sold 30 to 40 times a day, drugs only once," explained AFF Executive Director and Founder Susie Harvill.
Most victims are children and teens. Advocates say it's critical police find them within 72 hours.
AFF say human traffickers can be any age or ethnic groups. Harvill says there are even grandmother pimps.
She says Mississippi is a prime location for traffickers to pick up and drop off victims. The transportation system, including airports, that bring them in according to Harvill.
"Jackson is the only really big city, that's their major hub, and then on the coast we have I-10 which is known as the major corridor for moving trafficked victims across I-10. We have ports that they can sneak people in through that way and waterways."
Sex and labor human trafficking occurs in Mississippi, according to Harvill. Recently a Jackson mother told WLBT her daughter was taken to Florida in a human trafficking ring.
Harvill says some abductors place prices for people on the Internet and use tattoos to mark the victims as property.
The illegal trade happens in every state.
"The only quota that I have seen in the state of Mississippi is $1,000 a day. Once they go out in the morning, they must earn $1,000 before they can return," explained Harvill when asked how much cash victims can bring in for abductors.
Harvill says human trafficking is nearly a $35 billion business in the U.S., where the crime is growing.
She says victims can remain in the U.S. or be taken to a foreign country.
Many of those abducted are tortured and drugged. They also lose trust in everyone around them and aren't usually willing to talk to police.
The group at Saturday's hopes awareness in the state will go beyond shock and confusion. They believe action needs to be taken in order to help human trafficking victims.
"One of the things we're praying and dreaming for is the establishment of a hope house, a place for people to go for restoration," said Covenant Presbyterian Church Senior Pastor Steve Burton.
Harvill says there are currently bills in the Mississippi legislature to strengthen the state's human trafficking laws.

Presented by Life Settlement Solutions, Inc.
The fifth annual Life Settlement Awareness Month® (LSAM) is designed to bring the industry's most comprehensive and up-to-date educational information to investors and financial professionals worldwide.
Education is a key factor in expanding your capabilities to offer life settlements to senior clientele or begin investing in the asset class. In these turbulent and constantly changing times, education can be the key to a very successful settlement practice.
The impetus for LSAM was born from the annual survey on the life settlement industry conducted by Agent Media Corporation in conjunction with the Life Insurance Settlement Association (LISA) that cited the number one deterrent for entering the life settlement industry is a lack of education.
Survey results from 2010 showed that 54 percent of those surveyed believe there is some potential for additional income from life settlements; 73 percent stated that they would discuss settlements with their clients; and 59 percent have senior clients whose needs have changed. However, only 32 percent stated that they have actually completed a settlement transaction; the others have not mainly due to the lack of knowledge and marketing resources.
While the survey results showed some improvement in industry awareness from last year, we believe there is still much to be done. That is why LSS brings you the marketing and educational resources of the fourth annual Life Settlement Awareness Month – the 30-day culmination of the company's year-long educational efforts.

So I watched Jenn's Let's Play: Amnesia part 1 video, which was highly entertaining, and she said something that formed a very funny mental image in my head.
"… There's someone playing the piano and the only person it could possibly be is a grunt, so the thought of one of the grunt's just *unidentifiable noise and flailing* slamming it's meaty claws all over the piano… oh it makes me laugh."

Good Idea! Serving Platters with Handles
Best Kitchen Basics
We found the perfect serving piece the other day — right before a big party, too! It was a big platter, gently curved enough to hold a chopped salad, but open and flat enough to still be called a platter. The best thing about it? It had handles!
I found this at World Market and I already love it. The handles give the platter a slightly more casual look, but they're genuinely functional. When it's loaded up with sandwiches or steak, it's easier to handle and carry; I'm less afraid it will slip out of my hands.
• Find it: White Oval Serving Platter, $14.99 at World Market stores (not available online)
This platter isn't available online, though, so here are a couple other handled platters look equally appealing.
• Find it: Rectangular Platter with Handles, $59-$70 at Williams-Sonoma
• Find it: Oval and Round Platters, $12.95-$14.95 at Crate & Barrel

Love these! Must check out the Crate and Barrel ones ASAP!
Rachael Ray has a line of oven to table baking dishes with handles. I always thought they were great, but I didn't like the colors. These look very similar, without the safe-to-bake-in feature.
I bought the Crate & Barrel ones and returned them because I found the angle of the handles too awkward. But I have giant hands so maybe someone else would be a perfect fit. Gotta try those World Market ones!

Rated 4.7 out of 5�by 15 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by ButchM great beginner gun Bought this rifle for my son for Christmas. Though he has only shot it a few different days, it seems to be performing well. We put a red dot sight on it and it hits with good consistency. He is using Co2 for air. The only complaint I have is the instructions, they seem to put you into a loop of how to remove the air tank. I had to read and reread to make sure not make a mistake and remove the air while there is still pressure in the gun. the assembly instructions were a little weird too. Maybe just my inexperience with paintball markers but I'm sure they could edit it to be a little more clear and concise. Finally, the magazine is cool because it holds tools for the gun. That's nice but the oil should be in an container that you can keep in the magazine too. January 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Kim Present Wonderful it was for my son and he loved it, Christmas present December 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by sflech Awesome One word, Awesome. Came as advertised and looks way better than the pictures December 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Nick US Army Project Salvo Tactical Edition M ive had this gun for a year now. i have a 14 inch rifled barrel, a red dot sight, fore grip, electric hopper, sling, and an e-trigger. great woodsball gun. September 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by The baller Good marker It very high quality. Strong. But it's a little on the heavy side. September 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by the awesome Awesome guns for the price It was very cool when i first open it. it was very accurate when i shot it, but i would idealy put a red dot sigh on it because it harder to look down the iron sighs with a face mask on. June 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Austin Can't Beat the Price this gun is basically a Tippmann 98, which is awesome. VERY reliable, easy to maintain, and looks good (I get compliments on it every time I play with it). the stock is a bit flimsy, but it works just fine. the gun shoots very well out of the box. it can take C02 or Nitrogen, but the gun does not come with a starter kit (ie NO hopper, tank, or mask) like some of the other Tippmanns do, but this is still an excellent deal. If you have the money, get it. It's perfect for beginners or experienced players. June 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by cables durable i played in the rain and fell into a creek and still shot perfect, i added a 14 inch barrel and a fore grip and i will never get rid of it. i already got four friends to buy it. April 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Nick AWESOME! I use this for scenario events, woodsball, and indoors. It's very reliable and has never broken. I put a 22 inch sniper barrel on it and it shoots EXTREMELY accurate. No problem hitting those long range targets. Only cons is you cant use the sights if you are using the stock unless you get rail risers. I just put a red dot sight on it though and its perfect. April 11, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by E pretty good its ok its accurate and powerful. February 28, 2012
