Mayday! One Man's Story of Surviving a Plane Crash
He was saving hundreds of dollars by not flying commercial. There was a word for people who shelled out nearly a thousand bucks for the privilege of getting groped by security agents and being packed in like sardines: suckers.
And then the engine noise changed. Distinctly. Was he running out of gas? Shouldn't be. He flicked the selector switch to change fuel tanks. The engine continued to lose power, and his altitude was slipping. He turned on his carburetor heater. No change. He opened up the throttle. The plane continued to descend. He peered forward through the windshield; he could see land up ahead, the shoreline that, on a map, looks like the thumb of Michigan's mitten.
He radioed Lansing and gave his position and heading. "I'm over the water, and my engine is having trouble," he said. "Could you just keep an eye on me, please? Just make sure I get to shore?"
Trapp was told to switch to an emergency radio frequency so rescuers would have his location and identification. The water was coming up fast, 100 feet. He switched back over to Lansing.
"I'm going into the drink," he shouted.
He had slowed to 49 miles per hour, knowing that at 48, his plane would no longer stay in the air. His stall horn began blaring. He opened his door and tickled the yoke to ease the nose up. Just to taunt him, the engine suddenly roared back to life. Too late. The tail hit first. The plane somersaulted, the windshield blew in, and lake water exploded into the cockpit. Lansing's reply to Trapp's Mayday was drowned out in the furious rush of water. It was 4:12 in the afternoon.
At 42, Trapp was not what you'd call physically fit. The auto mechanic and self-described motor-head weighed himself regularly — every time he competed in the local stock-car racing circuit. His five-foot-nine, 204-pound frame reflected his laid-back approach to life. He didn't worry about much; he liked to laugh and to make others laugh; he surrounded himself with friends and family. On paper, he may have looked like a thrill seeker, but the real attraction of racing was the camaraderie. He enjoyed working on cars with his buddies as much as he liked racing them.

He hadn't always dreamed of flying. By chance, just three years earlier, he had ended up aloft in a friend's plane, and the friend had said, "Take the yoke for a minute, Mike. I want to take some pictures." Trapp was instantly hooked. Months later, he had his license and had financed most of the $13,900 he paid for the Cessna. His sons and stepson — Jeffrey, 19, Nicholas, 17, and Drake, 11 — were thrilled and fought over who would get to fly with him out over the Adirondacks and the St. Lawrence River, looking down on the lakes and forests and small towns of upstate New York. But Julie was less than enthusiastic. The plane scared her. She flew with him a grand total of two times. If he wanted to risk his life, that was one thing, but he could leave her out of it.
Now Trapp held his breath and unbuckled his safety harness. He swam underwater and out the open door and surfaced clinging to the tail. The plane was still sinking. He let go and watched the Cessna drifting down below his sneakers — 30, 40, 50 feet, until it disappeared. "Bye, girl," he said. It had taken less than a minute to sink.
Thanks! You're on our list.
And your life's about to get more interesting.
Some people like to travel by train because it combines the slowness of a car with the cramped public exposure of an airplane.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids is calling on the Federal Trade Commission to oppose a proposed merger between British American Tobacco (BAT) and Reynolds American (RAI) until allegations of corrupt and anti-competitive conduct by BAT in Africa are fully investigated.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Philip Morris International – the world's largest non-governmental cigarette manufacturer – this week launched a new website that claims the company is committed to a "smoke-free future." As long as Philip Morris continues to do everything it can to fight proven policies and programs that reduce smoking and continues to aggressively market cigarettes around the world, often in ways that appeal to children, their claims do not deserve to be taken seriously.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – It is truly absurd that tobacco giant Reynolds American and former House Speaker John Boehner, who was elected to Reynolds' board of directors today, would express a commitment to "speeding the decline in tobacco use among young people." Their records show the exact opposite. Reynolds' announcement pairs the tobacco company with the most egregious record of marketing to kids and a politician with a long record of fighting policies to reduce youth tobacco use.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – This November, voters in California, Colorado and North Dakota will have the opportunity to protect children from tobacco addiction and save lives by approving ballot initiatives that increase state tobacco taxes in a meaningful way. To do so, however, voters will need to reject multi-million dollar campaigns tobacco companies are waging to deceive them and defeat these measures.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Baseball legend Tony Gwynn was one of the game's most respected figures on and off the field. His death in 2014 after a long battle with cancer remains a lesson to all about the horrible dangers of smokeless tobacco use.
The wrongful-death lawsuit filed by his family this week provides another public service. It is a powerful reminder of how the tobacco industry has long targeted kids, athletes, African Americans and other groups with shameful marketing tactics that lured many into a deadly addiction. Tony Gwynn's death and this lawsuit provide a clarion call to Major League Baseball (MLB) and the MLB Players Association to take tobacco out of the game once and for all.
WASHINGTON, DC – The Obama Administration today has taken a critical first step – but only a first step – to protect America's kids from a new generation of tobacco products by issuing a long-overdue rule establishing FDA oversight of electronic cigarettes, cigars, hookah and other previously unregulated tobacco products.
WASHINGTON, DC – In landmark victories for global health and major defeats for the tobacco industry, high courts in India and the European Union today upheld strong measures to reduce tobacco use, including requirements for large, graphic health warnings on tobacco products and, in the EU, a ban on flavored tobacco products, including menthol, and authority for countries to adopt standardized plain packages. Together, these rulings provide a powerful boost to worldwide efforts to combat a tobacco epidemic that will otherwise kill one billion people this century. They also represent a resounding rejection of the tobacco industry's scorched-earth tactics that put profits before lives.
WASHINGTON, DC – As we mark exactly two years today since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published a proposed rule to begin regulating electronic cigarettes, a new study of e-cigarette advertising underscores the urgent need for the White House to issue a final rule – and shows how every day of delay further endangers the health of our children.
WASHINGTON, DC – The government's 2015 National Youth Tobacco Survey released today shows that while youth cigarette smoking remains at historically low levels, the alarming increase in youth use of electronic cigarettes continues and overall youth use of any tobacco product has not fallen since 2011.
WASHINGTON, DC – The Federal Trade Commission's latest reports on tobacco marketing – showing expenditures of nearly $9.5 billion in 2013 – send another warning sign about our nation's kids and health. The FTC's reports are a timely reminder that the tobacco companies are as relentless as ever in marketing their deadly and addictive products, often in ways that entice kids. We must remain vigilant to combat this torrent of industry marketing. We are fortunate to know what policies work – now we have to implement them aggressively.
WASHINGTON, DC – A CDC report released today shows alarming levels of youth exposure to electronic cigarette advertising and underscores why the White House must act now to issue a long-overdue rule providing for FDA regulation of e-cigarettes, including restrictions on marketing, sweet flavors and other tactics that entice kids.
Based on data from the 2014 National Youth Tobacco Survey, the CDC report finds that nearly 7 in 10 middle and high school students – more than 18 million young people altogether – see e-cigarette advertising in stores, online, in newspapers and magazines, or on television and in movies. It is especially troubling that even the youngest kids surveyed, 6th graders, have extensive exposure to e-cigarette advertising, with half seeing e-cigarette ads in stores and a third seeing such ads on the Internet.
WASHINGTON, DC – In a public health victory of global significance, Australia has won an international legal battle against Philip Morris to uphold its pioneering law requiring that cigarettes be sold in plain packaging. An arbitration tribunal today threw out Philip Morris' challenge to the law under an investment treaty between Australia and Hong Kong, ruling unanimously that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the case.
WASHINGTON, DC – In terrific news for the nation's health, the government-sponsored Monitoring the Future survey released today shows that the steep, decades-long decline in youth cigarette smoking continues, with smoking rates falling to record lows in 2015 among all three grades surveyed (grades 8, 10 and 12). Cigarette use among 12th graders fell to just 11.4 percent from 13.6 percent last year and 36.5 percent in 1997, representing extraordinary and historic progress.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – An investigative report broadcast yesterday by the BBC disclosed extensive evidence, supported by previously secret documents, that British American Tobacco (BAT), Britain's fifth-largest company, paid illegal bribes to influence members of parliament, gain advantage over competitors and undermine life-saving tobacco control policies in multiple African countries.
A new report documents how the tobacco industry is breaking laws and exploiting loopholes to target kids with deadly tobacco products in 14 countries across Latin America. According to the report, the tobacco industry is using a variety of marketing tactics – some illegal – to target youth at shops, kiosks and other places where tobacco is sold to consumers.
This summer, an investigative series by The New York Times exposed how the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has worked systematically in countries around the world to fight life-saving policies to reduce tobacco use. The Chamber's strategies have included directly opposing countries' tobacco control policies, pitting countries against each other in costly international trade disputes, and seeking to influence trade agreements to benefit tobacco companies.
WASHINGTON, DC – It is absurd that tobacco giants Philip Morris International and Altria are complaining the tobacco industry is being "singled out" because the new Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement prevents them from using the TPP to attack life-saving measures to reduce tobacco use.
WASHINGTON, DC – A study published today in The New England Journal of Medicine provides powerful new evidence that reducing the nicotine content of cigarettes could make a fundamental difference in preventing and reducing cigarette smoking, which is the number one cause of preventable death in the United States.
WASHINGTON, DC – Two new studies published today by the CDC and the FDA demonstrate the urgent need for the FDA to issue its long-overdue final rule regulating all tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes and cigars, and to expand the current ban on candy- and fruit-flavored cigarettes to include all flavored tobacco products.
WASHINGTON, DC – For the first time since being granted regulatory authority over tobacco products by a 2009 law, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration today ordered a tobacco company (R.J. Reynolds) to pull a major cigarette brand – Camel Crush Bold – off the market. The agency acted under a key provision of the law that requires prior FDA review and authorization before tobacco companies market new or changed products.
WASHINGTON, DC – The Food and Drug Administration today has taken a critically important action to protect the American public from tobacco industry deception by warning several manufacturers – most prominently Reynolds American's subsidiary, Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company, and its Natural American Spirit cigarette brand – that they are violating the law by marketing their products with health-related claims, including "additive-free" and "natural." If these products continue to make these claims, the FDA can and should order them removed from the market.
WASHINGTON, DC – A study published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) provides troubling new evidence that use of electronic cigarettes by youth who had not previously smoked could lead to use of cigarettes and other smoked tobacco products.
A year ago, a reinvigorated truth® campaign challenged young people to "finish it" and help end the tobacco epidemic for good. Now a new truth ad has another important message: The battle isn't just about cigarettes. With the warning "Don't get played while they get paid," the ad informs young people that other tobacco products, such as hookah and little cigars, are also addictive and deadly, even if they are often disguised with candy flavors. The ad aired Sunday night during the Teen Choice Awards.
New examples continue to emerge about how the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and its American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) affiliates have done the bidding of the tobacco industry and fought measures to reduce tobacco use around the world. In the latest example, Norway's Health Minister Bent Høie is blasting the American Chamber of Commerce in Norway for opposing a government proposal to require that tobacco products be sold in plain packaging.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – A report released today by an international group of public interest and health organizations builds on the recent multi-part investigation by The New York Times and provides additional documentation and detail about how the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (U.S. Chamber) has helped the tobacco industry fight life-saving policies in more than a dozen countries, undermining measures intended to combat a global tobacco epidemic that threatens one billion lives this century.

Safe Tahrir for Women #EndSH
A group of Egyptians feminists created an event on Friday July 6th to say "Enough, No!" to the terrible assaults against women which have been happening in Tahrir. They believe that the thugs have been carried out by state-sponsored paid thugs: let's catch them, and prove that the people of Tahrir are amongst the noblest in the world.
Amanda Ismail Zohdy the creator of the event wrote on the event's page on FB "Please read this terrible story, and imagine if this happened to your mother, daughter, sister, wife or friend natashajsmith.wordpress.com/2012/06/26/please-god-please-... there are many reports of similar attacks"
Amanda said "we want to set up a Safe Point in the square where women can join the revolutionary protest, and set up escorts to take women safely in and out of the square to the Safe Point. We want to spray paint and handcuff any thug who touches a woman, so he can be exposed and shamed for behaving like a dog. We're asking every political group and each individual, as a human being: please help.
Some Egyptian youth attended the event in solidarity and to guard it.

A new year means it's a good time to take care of some housekeeping. After taxes and getting used to writing 2016 on everything (thankgoodness checks are largely a thing of the past), the next obvious item on everyone's list is to make sure their social media game is on point.
Jessica Teal
Last week I hosted a Google Hangout with Kevin Call from Everytown for Gun Safety to discuss visually impactful content designed specifically for social media.
Jeff Grieve
As social media networks become a ubiquitous part of our lives, their importance to social advocacy organizations, both on and offline, grows by leaps and bounds.
With a not-so-small and kinda-Facebook-like update that Twitter made to its profiles recently, the ephemeral micro-blogging service also released a new feature: Pinned Tweets.
...look no further than the comments on this TechCrunch post.
One of the things that I've learned over my years at EchoDitto — that's been hammered home again and again — is the importance of email. Twitter's cool, social networking is great, but your online strategy absolutely has to account for email. It's not glamorous, but it's important.
It was too terribly long ago that I posted a simple Twitterbot here. I'm sure you'll be absolutely shocked to learn that it had a few, uh, shortcomings. If you're making a TwitterBot (and particularly one in Ruby), here's some advice:
I've written my fair share of fly-by-night SMS services. Not for clients, of course — when someone needs a mobile campaign we talk to folks who live and breath text messaging. But I've hacked together a few hobby SMS apps on the cheap.
As you might've heard, Twitter has just announced a Canadian number for the service. If you're a non-Canadian, you may be wondering what you're missing.

There are many things in life to be proud of but for a hunter there is nothing more absolute on the proud scale than the moment when your child harvests their first deer. I would like to share with you my recollection of the events that led to this proud moment of mine.
My son, Nikolas, was eleven at the time when he really developed an interest in hunting and shooting. He was your normal 11 year old at the time – 2001. He was more interested in video games and cartoons at this time in his life. But one thing stuck out… he was a darn good shot when it came to firing a weapon at the determined target. When I observed this I decided it was time to get him his own shotgun and start training him in the finer points of gun safety and shooting techniques.
For Christmas 2001 I talked my wife into getting a Remington 870 youth 20 gauge shotgun that came with a rifled deer barrel as well as the standard barrel. It was easy to accomplish this as I told her that she too could use it for her skeet shooting as well as bird hunting. I could go into detail about my wife Ann and her hunting/shooting – but that is another story. On that Christmas morning Nikolas' eyes lit up when he tore off the wrapping from the long rectangular box and revealed his very own shotgun. The smile on his face was only second to the one he would give later.
In Ohio, like many other states, they require you to go through a "safe hunter" course. To prepare Nikolas for this classroom style safety course I began to take him out in the woods and fields with me teaching him the fundamentals of gun safety. I did the standard stuff – i.e. always treat a gun as if it was loaded, where to always be aware of pointing the barrel, when is a safe scenario to shoot and when is not, etc…. The additional challenge we had with Nikolas was his ADHD – Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Meaning Nikolas cannot sit still and his mind races around on several items on mind at the same time. This was a challenge that he was focused on to ensure he could see deer and be in a position to be able to harvest one on his own.
Nikolas went through the safety course and passed with a great test score. His ability to also hit the target at various distances using different shooting positions looking at different lines of sight was fantastic. Just like most ADD or ADHD children – focus on a subject like shooting is awesome when they are focused. You just have to spend the time with them to ensure this happens.
Nikolas now had the gun, the safety training that I and the state of Ohio DOW had provided, the marksmanship practices, and the desire to hunt - whitetail deer just happened to be the focus. Now it was time to start the process of scouting the hunting area, ensuring we had the correct hunting clothing, prepping for opening gun season with license/tag, educating Nikolas on how to properly field dress the animal, etc….
My Dad lives on a 151 acre piece of property in Southeast Ohio – very prime whitetail area and one of the top 3 counties (Harrison) for whitetail harvesting every year that I have been watching the numbers myself. I have been hunting that land of his since 1999. I have always seen some very nice bucks every year. The largest was what we called "Mr. Dave" – a non-typical that was at least 30+ points. We called him Mr. Dave because my older brother Dave had shot him during bow season with one of those expanding-on-hit broad tips. He shot Mr. Dave in the shoulder. The broad tip never opened. And that very majestic animal just trotted away like nothing had hit him… but that is another story I will publish later. (Side note – we never did harvest "Mr. Dave" and never found his antlers – Dad said he was at least 30 points and a 36 inch spread…and nobody within the county came forward with this massive rack). Nevertheless we had the property and the deer - two-thirds of the equation. I almost wish I was still living in Ohio as it is so easy to hunt there. Being a son of a land owner in Ohio has its privileges. I need not purchase deer tags – I only have to document the information and secure it on the deer. You still have to take it to a "certified" Ohio DOW location to get checked in but where Dad lives you are able to harvest 4 doe and 1 buck for the past several years. I love Ohio deer hunting and was there last year/2010 for bow and gun season but this year I am hunting Cow Elk here in Colorado the week prior to Thanksgiving so most likely I am not making it back to Ohio for gun season the week after Thanksgiving. That is okay – as long as I harvest that Cow Elk!
Back to Nikolas… he was eager, he had the marksmanship, I taught him the focus… it was only the wait for opening day – the first Monday after Thanksgiving!
It was the Sunday after Thanksgiving 2002. We had a great feast Thursday. The wife along with other extended family members did their part on "Black Friday" to assist the economy. Saturday was filled with anxiousness waiting for Sunday. We went to church Sunday morning and then came home to a packed truck.
Nikolas and I packed the Jeep Cherokee with our hunting gear and were off to pick up "uncle mike" before we made the 100 mile/two-hour trek to my parents place. "Uncle Mike" is not a relative but was a co-worker of mine. He was not a savvy hunter at first but became better each year. Mostly Dad and I had taught him the skills of hunting Whitetail Deer. He harvested at least one deer ever year he was invited to the farm. I liked Mike and he has a heart of gold so I invited him to Dad's place every year for the past 4 years. Now that I live in Colorado Mike has lost his hunting place – Dad and Mom really want me to be with anybody I invite to hunt there.
Dad's farm is not actually a farm. It is 151 acres of mostly old oak trees. Dad had cleared four different areas to make them into feeding fields. One field area about 5 acres in size is just southwest of the house and you could see the tree-stand atop the hillside from the front porch… but you can't see the field it overlooks. The second field area is due west of the house and atop of an ATV track. This is the largest of the field areas and is about 50 acres in size. The third field also about 5 acres in size is located above his 1000 square foot pole barn – Northeast of the house. The fourth field is southeast of the house and is approximately 10 acres. Each field has at least one deer stand with the largest field having three stands. Dad also has several stands strategically placed throughout the wooded acres. The whole place is a perfect hunting setup.
So Nikolas, Uncle Mike, and I drove down to the farm and unpacked the SUV. We were now ready for three days of deer hunting. Dad was sighting in his gun up by the pole barn so after getting our sleeping gear and hunting clothes in the house we ventured up the hill to see him. Dad is a great shot as revealed by the three slug holes all within the bulls-eye drawn on a paper plate. Dad was finished so he asked Nikolas to show him his shooting skills. Nikolas gleaming at the chance to show Grandpa his marksmanship pulled out his 20 gauge with the rifled barrel and open sights. Dad set up another paper plate at 50 yards. Nikolas sat at the shooting table and proceeded to load a slug shell. He aimed carefully using his open sights, exhaled, and squeezed the trigger. Bulls-eye! A dead center shot. "That's my boy", I shouted! Grandpa smiled and said Nikolas was ready and will get a deer. Nikolas had the gun sighted in for 100 yards but most shots on the farm are within 50 yards. We spent the remainder of Sunday evening assigning each of us a specific deer stand, taking the hikes to each one to review the layout and deer runs, plus re-telling hunting stories from previous years. Nikolas chose the deer stand that was southeast of the house – a very good choice. I asked Nikolas if he wanted me to go with him in the morning. He said no and that he could do this on his own.
It was very early Monday morning – opening day! We all got up and had a good hot breakfast then started out in the dark towards our respective stands. I was going the opposite direction so I wished Nikolas luck and watched as my son started up the hill. I knew he would see deer. I just hoped he would be able to get a shot. The plan was to meet back at the pole barn at noon.
Well the morning hunt was not productive for me (all deer I saw were either too small or on the opposite side of the field from me) and it was getting close to noon so I headed for the pole barn. Nikolas was already there as his stand was the closest. I said to Nikolas, Well?! He explained how he had seen some deer come out into the field but he couldn't get a shot at them. I gave him my story too and we decided to go back to the same stands for the afternoon hunt. I asked Nikolas if he was okay or needed me to go with him. I knew his answer.
It was 1pm and was again time to leave for our stands. Nikolas, now even more eager, was the first with his hunting clothes back on with shotgun in hand and headed towards his same stand. I wished him luck and watched again as my son headed up the hill on his own. The plan was again to meet at the pole barn 30 minutes after sunset.
While sitting in my stand I could hear the sounds of distant shooting. I was hoping to hear a shot from across the property from Nikolas' direction. There were definite shots fired but I couldn't tell if they were coming from Nikolas. I anxiously sat there looking over my field waiting for the time we would meet up back at the pole barn. There was 30 minutes left of legal hunting. I heard one shot from across the property.
It was now time to head towards the pole barn. I unloaded my gun and proceeded at a quick pace. Upon arrival I saw Nikolas turn the corner from the opposite back side of the barn. I asked, "Did you get one"? With the biggest smile on his face he said yes! I was elated – to say the least! I asked Nikolas to tell the story. He proceeded to tell of several doe coming out into the field when he spied a buck making his way towards them. He could have easily shot one of the doe but Nikolas waited until that buck was within shooting range and with one shot he dropped the 4 pointer in his tracks. It turned out to be a perfect shot – heart and both lungs were hit. Dad heard Nikolas' shot and drove his ATV up and assisted him in bringing it back. We hoisted his deer up on the rack and watched Nikolas do a great job of field dressing his first deer.
I was so proud of my son. I still get a smile when he re-tells the story. Since it was his first deer and it was a buck I had the head mounted. It hangs proudly next to mine. Since that first season he has joined me for 5 consecutive years. Each year Nikolas has harvested at least one deer. I love to listen to him tell of each hunt.
We now live in Colorado. Nikolas has joined me on one Elk hunt in 2007. We didn't harvest one that year. For the past four years Nikolas has been in college and working so he has been unable to join me hunting. He is now 21, married, and a Dad himself. I hope he can join me next year. And I hope to be there when he teaches his daughter how to hunt and see her smile on that very special day.

Alumnae Equestrians
The School and the Riding Program began together, flourished together, and continue together, almost a century later, helping girls develop character, responsibility, and determination.
Since the founding of Foxcroft in 1914, horsemanship, and the responsibility that goes along with it, has been an integral part of the Foxcroft experience. From the School's founder (and first riding instructor), Charlotte Haxall Noland, to the current Director of Riding, Kate Worsham, all of Foxcroft's riding instructors have promoted the philosophy that riding helps develop character and the ability to make good decisions.
Foxcroft's comprehensive riding program is tailored to meet the needs of a diverse group of girls possessing varying abilities, from first-timer to experienced horsewoman. Whether a rider's interest lies in competing regularly, in riding for pleasure, or somewhere in between, she has a place in the program at Foxcroft.
And the School's location is perfect for riders as its 500 acres of rolling countryside in the heart of Virginia's horse country provide an ideal setting for the modern facilities and renowned equestrian program.

By: MAweatherboy1 , 11:08 PM GMT on May 02, 2012
As we all know, it's getting to be that time of year... In less than a month we will begin the 2012 Atlantic Hurricane Season! However we are less than 2 weeks away from the start of the 2012 East Pacific Hurricane Season. The main factor that will drive the Atlantic Season this year will also be the driving force in the East Pacifc, and that is of course the ongoing transition from La Nina conditions into neutral conditions and likely heading for at least weak El Nino conditions by late season. Many, including myself, expect this year's Atlantic season to have the majority of its storms for by the end of August before we transition to El Nino conditions which increases shear across the Atlantic basin.
This recent Sea Surface Temperature anomaly map indicates that waters in the East Pacific where storms are most likely to form this year are very warm, increasing the chances of an active season. Many other areas in the Pacifc remain cooler than average, however.
El Nino conditions that inhibit development in the Atlantic aid in storm development in the East Pac, so I expect a lot of this basins' storms to occur from September to November. Two good analogues for this year in the East Pac seem to be 2006 and 2009.
Map of storms and storm tracks during the active 2006 East Pac season
I think 2006 is a better analogue becuase that year had more storms form closer to the coast than in 2009, and I'm expecting a lot of coastal development in that area this year because of the warm waters. 2009 is a good analogue in terms of number of storms, but many storms that year formed farther away from shore because El Nino conditions were present for the full 2009 season. This year, however, waters further from shore are not as warm because we are coming out of a La Nina, meaning it may not be until late in the season until these waters are more favorable for storm development. All things considered, here are my official numbers:
* 19 named storms
* 10 hurricanes
* 6 major hurricanes
I am willing to bet that my the end of July people will be calling the East Pac season a bust and my numbers will look totally impossible to reach. Just remember what I said though: Many of our storms in the East Pac this year will happen towards the end of the season as we reach El Nino conditions.
The final aspect of the East Pac season I'll look at in this post will be potential land impacts. Because tropical cyclones generally move from east to west, it is rare for storms in the East Pacific to impact land since storms that move west as most do move away from shore. Still, there are exceptions. Just last year Hurricane Jova struck Mexico. In 2009, extremely powerful Major Hurricane Rick put a serious scare into Baja California as it charged towards the peninsula at Cat 5 strength before rapidly weakening prior to reaching Baja. Becuase I expect a lot of storms to form close to shore in the East Pacific this year, I think there is a higher than normal chance of impacts in Mexico, so people there should be on guard.
We're almost there!

Lowe Alpine's Dryflo gloves can be worn as a liner glove or on their own - the Dryflo fabric is high wicking and with CoCoNa technology these gloves allow your hands to breathe.
Lowe Alpine says: High-performance baselayer glove.
|Dryflo fabrics possess the ability ti wick moisture away from the skin to allow it to evaporate quickly.
|Cocona fabrics - are extremely breathable and accelerate evaporation using natural technology. This is contained inside the fibre and will not wash off, and also provides natural UVA and UVB protection. Click Logo to read more...
|Microban finish is engineered for lasting freshness by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, providing continuous odour control for the fabrics lifetime, staying cleaner and fresher for longer.
Lowe Alpine's Dryflo fabric has a nice feel to it and it does all the things attributed to it elsewhere. The design of the Dryflo gloves is straightforward, a double layer cuff and boxed fingers. There's a little seam bunching at the end of two fingers but that's being picky - especially on a glove this light, wear them as a liner glove or on their own.
