About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 4:11 PM GMT on October 30, 2005
Hurricane Beta smashed ashore on the central coast of Nicaragua at 7 am EST this morning as a Category 2 hurricane with 105 mph winds. Beta put on an impressive burst of intensification last night and had 115 mph winds for about six hours before weakening substantially just prior to landfall. This brief burst of intensification made Beta the seventh major hurricane of the 2005 season. This is one hurricane shy of the record of eight major hurricanes seen in 1950.
Beta probably brought a 15-foot storm surge to the coast, plus 100 mph plus winds in a small area up to 15 miles from the center. The east coast of Nicaragua is sparsely populated, and these winds and the storm surge probably only affected a small number of people. However, Beta's rains will cause serious flooding and mudslides over Nicaragua and Honduras the next two days as the storm moves over the mountains of western Nicaragua and dissipates. Beta may end up being Nicaragua's fourth worst hurricane of all time, behind Hurricane Joan of October 1988, the great 1605 hurricane that killed over 1300, and Hurricane Mitch of 1998. Joan killed 148 people in Nicaragua, with the large death toll blamed in part on the residents' resistance in the coastal town of Bluefield to evacuation.
Honduras will also suffer Beta's wrath, but is missing the core of Beta's moisture and will very likely avoid the kind of serious flooding that killed thousands during Hurricane Mitch of 1998. Tune into wunderblogger Helen's blog from Roatan Island, Honduras, to follow the storm. Roatan is on the central coast of Honduras--the area Hurricane Mitch hit hardest.
Beta is probably too small to emerge out over the Pacific and re-intensify into a tropical storm. Hurricane Joan did successfully make the crossing, to be reborn as Hurricane Miriam in eastern Pacific. However, Joan was a large and fast-moving Category 4 hurricane. Beta's remains should bring no more than 3-6 inches of rain to El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Guatemala over the next few days.
Elsewhere in the tropics
The large tropical disturbance in the central Caribbean that was interfering with Beta's circulation yesterday has weakened and has been partially absorbed by Beta. This disturbance is not expected to develop.
A large tropical wave located about 200 miles east of the Lesser Antilles has not become better organized today but has some potential for further development over the next few days as it moves west or west-northwest at 15 mph. This area of disturbed weather will bring heavy rain and gusty winds to the northern Leeward Islands today. If a tropical storm does develop from this wave, it could threaten Hispanolia, Cuba, Jamaica, and the Bahamas later in the week. Wind shear over the Caribbean is expected to remain low the next week, favoring tropical storm develoment of any tropical waves that traverse the region.
I'll be back with an update Monday morning.

DETROIT , MI - NOVEMBER 01: Head coach Steve Spagnuolo of the St. Louis Rams looks on while playing the Detroit Lions on November 1, 2009 at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. St. Louis won the game 17-10. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)
Steve Spagnuolo has agreed to join the New Orleans Saints as their new defensive coordinator, FOXSports.com has learned. Spagnuolo, who had been the Rams head coach for the past three seasons, was fired earlier in January after a disappointing 2-14 record. The Saints' defensive coordinator position was left vacant after Gregg Williams' contract expired and he joined new Rams head coach Jeff Fisher. Spagnuolo's career ended in St. Louis with a 10-38 record. Before becoming the Rams head coach in 2009, Spagnuolo was the New York Giants defensive coordinator, where he played a major role in the Super Bowl XLII upset of the New England Patriots.

Justin Bieber Celebrated Sofia Richie's 18th Birthday After All
So I guess Justin Bieber and Sofia Richie are still a thing, because the two rang in Richie's 18th year at The Doheny Room on Wednesday night. Which means that they aren't that serious, or have some kind of agreement, or you know, she's 18 and who know's what's really happening in regardsÃÂ to the Bronte Blampied thing. The couple partied at the lounge and left together, but stayed away from any public displays of affection. Again, hard to say if they're together, only that Justin feels obligated enough to spend Sofia's bday with her which is something, I guess?
"Justin arrived with his guy friends around 10 p.m. Sofia joined him later and they stayed until after 1 a.m.," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "They sat separately and had big groups with them."
Could've been guilt, too. The hangout followed a very "woe is me" Snapchat the previous day in which Richie was at the doctor's office. "Of course I'm sick [the] day before my birthday," the model posted from a doctor's office. "Anything else want to go wrong?"
I'm very skeptical this will actually be a real relationship, but okay. We'll see what year 18 brings for the Beibs and young Sofia.

I bought this church from the Roman Catholic Diocese 15 years ago.
25 foot cathedral ceilings, six burner cook stove, soapstone farm sink, double shower heads, two full baths, original stained glass with beautiful morning light. House yoga mats, gas fireplace, 40" flat screen with cable and couch and stuff chairs for lounging and talking, 9' cherry dining table
The stained glass is original and is illuminated each morning by the sunrise coming up over the hill. This stunning space is the result of a three year renovation. The curved walls and archways create a true sanctuary like space that is hard to leave once you are there.
Stratton Mountain is 30 minutes to the access road and under 35 to Mount Snow. Brattleboro, just five minutes away, has been voted consistently as one of the best small towns in America to visit. If you want to ski, snow shoe, shop, eat, sip local brew and explore the town, or never leave the Sanctuary, this is your spot!
The master suite is up in the extended 'choir loft' that I built out to make a spacious bedroom and dressing room, and has it's own full bath with double-headed shower and 54" claw-foot tub.
There are two beautiful, very small private rooms to the left and right of what used to be the altar. They feature curved walls, queen beds, and a large skylight in each. There is a full bathroom for these rooms with European style shower as well as full laundry for the house.
The kitchen is a chef's delight with a six burner, two grill, double oven Garland Restaurant gas stove, double soapstone farm sink and beautifully detailed concrete countertops. Lots of counter space and a large farm table island in the middle provide adequate prep, serving and 'hang out' space (everyone seems to love to congregate in the kitchen!).
The heat is radiant floor which is wonderful for this space with 25' vaulted ceilings. There is also a propane instant on-demand glass door fireplace on the 'altar' for ambience throughout the space and cozying up to after a day on the mountains.
The TV lounge under the choir loft has couches and a lounge chair for watching movies, reading and relaxing. We have cable, Netflix and Amazon capability through the Blue Ray player, and of course, high speed Internet.
There are country roads for walking, a wonderful river to visit nearby, a great neighborhood if you want to make friends, and the US post office right in the village.
The Church is a most welcoming and generous space for one to six!
The church has been my home since 2001. I am a ceramic artist (website is my name)
I co-own a contemporary craft gallery three miles from the house called Fire Arts Vermont which is three miles from the house-- a twenty artists collective showing my ceramics, furniture, blown artglass, jewelry, lighting and more.
My partner Nick bought and renovated the home next door, and we live in both like Frida and Diego. The church is technically my home, and the house next door his.
We love cooking, and therefore great kitchens, and most of all, we love to create great spaces so that friends and families can let down and have a great getaway.
Natalie Blake purchased this apartment in 2001
Because it's a renovated church, and it's a womb. It loves having friends come to stay. I have had so many guests stay, and we all agree, there is a vibration in the space that feels like home, and loves you up with all the beautiful colors, art I've collected, stained glass, and places to lounge, stretch on the floor, or site by the fire.
Beautiful, full of art and intrigue
Easy walks to beautiful places all year round.
A great middle point between a great art town with great restaurants and shops, and the ski mountains.
Close to Brattleboro--- named #8 best smal art towns in America
close to all kinds of Vermont activities, from skiing to apple picking to summer festivals and swimming....
We look forward to your stay!
Our family enjoyed our visit at the church. Wish we had more time to stay. The house had everything you could possibly need to a stay away from home. We enjoyed all the room our family had to spread out. We would definitely come back again. The listing was as it was presented in Home Away. The church was cleaned and well maintained. Natalie, the owner, was in touch with us as needed and it was much appreciated. We would recommend this place to family and friends. We went skiing at Mount Snow, 30 minutes away. We enjoyed dinner in town at the Whetstone Brewery.
This is a one of a kind property with many artistic flourishes added by the owner. We hosted a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family!
Four friends and I stayed at "the Sanctuary" for a week in August 2016. What a treat! The house is a work of art in itself. Nice renovation. Hand crafted ceramics, amazing blown glass, and other original artwork are found in every nook and cranny. Amazing kitchen, perfect for entertaining. Comfortable beds. Lots of space. The house has some quirks, but I found them to be a part of the fun and reflective of the laid back vibe of Vermont. If you're the kind of person who has to have everything in perfect order, you might be frustrated. For example, the downstairs bathroom has an open shower. Yup, no curtains, no easily defined shower space. A shower head on the wall and a drain on the floor in the same area as the sink and the toilet. Yes, not what you expect, but hey, why not? It works perfectly fine. Finding all of the corresponding light switches for the lights in the main living area was like a game. Some of them were in the most unexpected places, but that was part of the charm. Basically, everything we needed and more was there to have a satisfying, restful week. Everyone in our group loved the house.
Great location, about 15 minutes from downtown Brattleboro. A short drive to lots of scenic areas. So relaxing swimming in the West River and Rock River. Great area to walk or cycle. For grocery shopping, the Brattleboro Coop is a must. Want a good sandwich or have a sweet tooth? Amy's Bakery Arts Cafe will satisfy your need. Want to see a Brattleboro tradition? Check out the Saturday farmer's market in West Brattleboro where locals and tourists mix. The Sanctuary provides a great home base to enjoy nature, food, arts, and music.
The owners were warm, welcoming, helpful. Communication was clear. Deposit returned with no hassle. A delightful stay at a most unusual home.
I surprised my 3 kids with a stay in Natalie and Nick's place and we were all impressed and pleased beyond words. The house is warm and inviting with all the amenities one can think of. We were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay immensely. You will not be disappointed. Quite the opposite, really. Thank you both for sharing your home with us.
A group of friends and I spent a weekend in Natalie's church and found it to be even better than expected! The house is spacious and charming, with beautiful artistic touches throughout. I highly recommend it- we may even go back!
I have stayed in several rentals and this is top 3 on my list, I absolutely love this chapel.
At first I had thought that it may be weird to stay in a renovated church, but it's not at all. The energy in the house was great, very soothing and relaxing. The kitchen is so much fun to cook in, love the cutting board island it made it super easy for me to prepare my food and the stove is so big I could prepare a feast! The Ed in the loft is so comfortable I could sleep for days. The living room areas are so inviting, we used all three, why not change up the scene. I practice yoga everyday and sure dbihgh there were plenty of mats, near the fireplace was a perfect spot to loosen up. I even gathered some blankets and pillows and cudgeled in front of it afterwards with my honey!
The location is quietly nestled at the top of the hill in a one road community. It was rhe perfect in between location to Stratton mountain and Batttleboro. The little town had everything we needed and then some. The have a lovely co-op filled with plenty of organic items. They have a brewery that plays live music on Thursday nights, which was super fun and friendly. There is a great spa, Jasmine day spa they do super unique packages if your there in the winter time I highly suggest the "winter retreat" package. There was also a great little shop that does readings right next door with cool little trinkets.
The host is super friendly and flexible, she even let me have my package delivered there a few days before I arrived and let me have a late check out since I lost track of time.
So there you have it! I can only give this place 5 stars but in my book it's a 10!
We are thirty mins from Stratton and Mt Snow. Brattleboro, five miles south, has been listed several times as #1 small art towns to visit in the US.

We do have an apartment downstairs with full time tenants. We do ask that loud music or loud thumps on the floor be kept to a minimum. Generally the floor noise is the most bothersome since it is unpredicatble to someone living below. We want guests to feel totally comfortable and feel at home in the church as a weekend away to chill and relax. So we ask you to take your shoes off when you come in the door, refrain from knocking dirt or snow off your boots on the front step, and walk around in socks or barefoot on our lovely warm radiant heated floors!
* Approximate monthly rate. Actual rate will depend on the days of the month you stay.

Uploaded to tryserver.
While I was looking at this code, I removed one QI in nsDOMTokenListSH::GetStringAt.
We may want to add some helper method which does all the ForgetSharedBuffer
thing. Or perhaps the last parameter of ReadableToJSVal should be
boolean to indicate whether it is ok to call ForgetSharedBuffer.

without QI change
The QI removal doesn't apparently work, so this is just about the
string handling optimization.
(The QI optimization fails because I forgot the code is used also for nsDOMSettableTokenList)

For instance - and this is to the immediate point - I see that I wrote about "The Quick and the Dead", the South Bank Touring Exhibition on art and anatomy, that it "may well be the most interesting show to be seen this year". I wrote that in November, so was not taking much of a chance, though still hedging prudently ("may well be"), and quite what "interesting" was supposed to mean I'm now not certain, but it could have simply meant "satisfying to write a review of".
And that's another thing these retrospects make clear: how the sheer imperative to get something definite said can override all other considerations, and subsequently creates a positive barrier to retrieving your original response. And maybe there wasn't one, anyway. Maybe you made it all up. Oh, but surely it was interesting, and more, to see this historical line- up of anatomical creatures, some so hearty, some so queasy, all so remote from modern medical froideur - lots of issues there, but some fantastic drawings too: should have made a second visit, just to make sure.
And there were Duane Hanson's remarkable human simulacra, posed weary and weighed-down around the Saatchi Gallery, sculptures whose perfect literalness, whose very lack of artistic handling, made them peculiarly vulnerable and exposed to the viewer's mercy. Yes, I seem to have liked that a lot, seem to have been very persuasive on the subject - though, if the show was still on, I don't know that I'd run to see it again. And which is truer, the judgment then or now? (Or is it the kind of art that wears off?) Yet I still feel warmly about the exhibition, perhaps just because it was good to talk about.
A further professional deformation, that - to look back fondly on the things that reviewed well, that made a good write-up. That would also include three German shows from early in the year. There was the Lovis Corinth retrospective at the Tate, the nearest thing to an art blockbuster this year, a lot of painterly huff and dash redeemed at the end by the wonderful late self-portraits with their negative Expressionism, dumb, hesitant, baffled. There were the drawings of Georg Grosz (at the Royal Academy). There were Auguste Sander's photos of "People of the 20th Century" (National Portrait Gallery), that strange, stiff portrait-series which looks like a catalogue of human life as seen from an infinite distance. No. Yes. I stand by all that. Absolutely.
And "Sensation" (RA) can't be forgotten either (but that memory is hardly a personal matter, the whole world enforced it) - for a handful of good works on top of everything else.
To close, though, with an objective fact. There's no doubt who the most exhibited artist was: William Hogarth. The tercentenary of his birth was marked with shows at the Tate Gallery, the Sir John Soane Museum, the Whitworth Gallery, the British Museum and the National Gallery. Never wrote about any of them, certainly saw some of them, but I can't now remember quite which.
