It's been kind of a tough week. Not horrible... just a little bit frustrating. You know those weeks when everyone cancels the day of the lesson when you've already taken the metro the 20 or 30 minutes to their area? It was one of those weeks. Honestly, by the end of the week it was kind of funny because we'd passed the angry phase and we'd moved into that helpless laughter phase. This week will be better. :)
One thing that was super cool this week happened at church yesterday. My companion and I were walking around greeting people before church started and getting things organized when I looked over at the hallway just in time to see somebody pass at the doorway who I recognized... it was one of our investigators who we had lazily neglected to invite to church... and yet he came anyway! And he brought his girlfriend! It was super awesome. I took it as the Lord's way of saying, "Elder McOmber, I can do this with or without you. I prefer with you, but you'd better step it up."
Which leads to the last point I want to share. I had kind of a sack cloth and ashes moment last night as I was praying; it's something very special to me but I would like to share it with you all.
As I was praying, I was feeling very inadequate and very unprepared for the responsibilities I have right now. I remember very clearly saying, "Father, I don't feel good enough to do this. I don't feel like I'm living up to the expectations and I feel like I'm failing."
And then I felt something. I didn't hear an audible voice, but these words came to my mind very clearly.
"Elder McOmber, that is because you are relying on you. Stop relying on you and start relying on Me."
I was somewhat taken aback by the clarity and the speed of the response. After a few seconds, I simply asked, "How?"
To which I received one word in answer.
I am not a disobedient missionary; I wake up on time, I go to bed on time, I don't watch movies or anything silly and clearly disobedient like that. But, these last few weeks have been a struggle in terms of my being "anxiously engaged." I seemed to be finding excuses to avoid aspects of missionary work that are harder, trying to take the easy route. I was becoming a Pharisee, outwardly obedient but inwardly wayward.
There comes a moment for each of us, usually pretty often, in which we have to make a decision between good, better, and best - which usually correlates to hard, harder, and hardest. Sometimes we can try and make excuses to take the easier route. At least, I definitely do.
So... let's quit it. Because the road from Jerusalem to Calvary certainly wasn't the easy route; yet there was One who made no excuses. I have a quote that I love by (I believe) Alistair Cooke which goes, "A professional is someone who can do his best when he doesn't particularly feel like it." Well, I want to change it a bit and say, "A disciple of Christ is someone who can do his best when he doesn't particularly feel like it."
So when we don't particularly feel like it - how lucky we are, for that is our chance to truly show our faith and our level of conversion!
En avant!
Elder Bryan McOmber

I like to go on camping trips every year with a friend on motorcycles and the rod is always with me. It's a Shakespeare Ultralight. The thing is - the reel is on it's last leg, and I'd rather replace it than buy a new compact rig. I've never bought a reel before though, and I honestly don't know much about them. I always just use whatever comes on the pole I buy. Anyone care to educate me, and recommend a replacement reel?

Proudly Made in America American Flags around Marmora NJ 08223
A nationwide icon that goes by the nicknames "The Stars and Stripes", "Old Glory", and "The Star-Spangled Banner", the American flag is among the highly recognizable icons on the planet today. This is primarily as a result of the condition of the United States as one of the most prominent countries in history. The American Flag is the 3rd oldest of the National Standards of the globe – older compared to the Union Jack of Britain or the Tricolor of France. It is distinct in the deep and also worthy relevance of its message to the entire world. It stands for a message of national self-reliance, of private liberty, of optimism, and also of patriotism.
Who made the American Flag?
Exactly what does the American Flag represent?
Why is the American Flag essential to American culture?
Where can I buy American Flags?
Who designed the American Flag?
According to popular legend, the very first American flag was made by Betsy Ross, a Philadelphia seamstress who was acquainted with George Washington. In May 1776, so the tale goes, General Washington and also two representatives from the Continental Congress saw Ross at her furniture store and also showed her a sketch design of the flag.
In those days, the flag was not the same as we understand it today. The act mentioned, "Resolved, that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternating red and also white; that the Union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, standing for a brand-new constellation."
Exactly what does the American Flag stand for?
The flag initially rose over thirteen states along the Atlantic seaboard, with a populace of some three million individuals. Today it flies over fifty states, expanding across the continent, and also over great islands of the two oceans; and many owe it allegiance. It has been brought to this pleased position by love as well as sacrifice. Citizens have advanced it and also heroes have died for it.
The flag is composed of 13 alternating red and white straight stripes standing for the initial thirteen British communities that stated independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, as well as came to be the very first states in the United States. This blue area of the flag is called the Union.
The symbolism of the Flag, as quoted from Washington: "We take the stars from Heaven, the red from our mother country, separating it by white stripes, hence revealing that we have divided from her, and the white stripes shall go down to posterity standing for Liberty."
It incarnates for all the human race the spirit of liberty and the glorious belief of human freedom; not the liberty of unrestraint or the freedom of license, however a special principle of equal opportunity for life, freedom and the pursuit of happiness, secured by the strict as well as lofty concepts of responsibility, of morality and of justice, as well as attainable by obedience to self-imposed laws.
It symbolizes the significance of patriotism. Its spirit is the spirit of the American country. Its history is the history of the American individuals. Emblazoned upon its folds in letters of living light are the names and fame of our heroic dead, the Fathers of the Republic who devoted after its altars their lives, their fortunes and also their spiritual honor. Two times told tales of national honor and also glory cluster heavily about it. Ever triumphant, it has actually arised victorious from eight terrific nationwide disputes. It flew at Saratog, at Yorktown, at Palo Alto, at Gettysburg, at Manila bay, at Chateau-Thierry, at Iwo Jima. It bears witness to the enormous development of our nationwide boundaries, the growth of our natural deposits, and the superb framework of our people. It prophesises the accomplishment of preferred federal government, of public and also religious freedom and of nationwide righteousness throughout the world.
Why is the American Flag vital to American culture?
The American flag is extremely important since it symbolizes the independent federal government as described under the United States Constitution. Contribute to that, it additionally represents the background, ideas and also values of its residents. As a democratic country, its people adhere to critical values such as freedom, justice and equal rights. Furthermore, the flag also represents the numerous successes of the country as well as the satisfaction of its individuals.
This national symbol advises people, not only in the state of New Jersey, but throughout the entire USA about the various important facets of the Declaration of Independence. It is a complex symbol, which represents the freedom and also rights of Americans. Drifting from the lofty pinnacle of American optimism, it is a sign of sustaining hope.
It is the indicator made visible of the solid spirit that has actually brought freedom as well as success to the people of America. It is the flag of all us alike. Allow us accord it recognize as well as loyalty.
Where can I get American Flags?
You possibly currently observed this, however there are a lot of locations where you could obtain American flags. It is essential to keep in mind that the flag you're going to acquire need to be "Made in United States of America". There are multiple vendors whose flags are identified as made in China, as well as flying a China-made American flag just doesn't make much sense, does it?
Based upon statistics, Americans spend over 5.3 million USD on imported flags yearly – most of which are made in China. Maybe much more disturbing is that throughout 2001, in the wave of nationalism that washed over America after 9/11, Americans bought $52 million US dollars in imported flags. The flag needs to signify the blood, sweat, as well as tears of American men and women that brought this country right into existence, not our debt to China as well as the death of the American manufacturing industry.
The flag symbolizes national freedom and popular sovereignty. It is not the flag of a reigning household or royal house, yet of the many free people bonded into a country, one and inseparable, united not only by community of interest, but by crucial unity of sentiment as well as function; a nation identified for the clear individual perception of its people alike of their duties and also their advantages, their commitments and their rights.
Have a little pride, cough up a couple of even more bucks, and also buy an American flag made by Americans in the USA

Last night, same old routine.
Went out to check on the Girls. The Littlees were huddled in the nestbox. As (has now become) usual, I gently posted them on to the roosting bars. There was a lot of grumbling from the Bigees, and Delilah got up. This time, I growled at her, and warned her that if I saw even ONE attempt, she'd be in the Eglu as fast as my arms could carry her.
She glared (yes, chickens can glare) at the Littlees, then she moved so that Scarlett was between her and the Littlees. Then Scarlet stood up and glared at the Littlees. I gave her the same warning.
All four girls settled down, although I wasn't sure it would last.
A couple of hours later I went out, and found that Jasmine had gone back into the nesting box. I gently popped her back on the roosting bars.
Just before (my) bedtime, I went out again, and all four were still on the bars. "Yay!"
I'll try the same thing again tonight...but the Eglu is staying put, just as a reminder.

Modelers Workshop
Danish Climate Centre
Danish Meteorological Institute
Lyngbyvej 100, DK-2100 Copenhagen Ø
22-23 May 2000
Monday 22 May 2000
The workshop opened with a welcome by Jens Christensen, Senior Advisor of the Danish Climate Centre of the Danish Meteorological Institute. Self introductions were given by participants. Bill Gutowski of PIRCS gave a brief overview of the International Institute of Theoretical and Applied Physics (IITAP), partial sponsor of the workshop and home institution of PIRCS. Acknowledgements were given to IITAP and the US Electric Power Research Institute for supplying funding for the workshop and the project.
DISCUSSION OF PIRCS EXPERIMENT 1b
Ray Arritt gave a brief overview of results to date for PIRCS Experiment 1b, a 30-day simulation of the continental US for June and July of 1993. John Roads points out that the reanalysis shows a daytime max which, compared the regional models, shows that the regional models are superior.
Richard Jones raised the question about variability in output that might occur if the initial conditions were perturbed at the bit level. [RJ was thinking of some work that Giorgi has done perturbing initial or lateral boundary conditions, which showed surprisingly large, ongoing differences between runs, even if only IC perturbed.] How much should we expect weather systems to evolve as observed? We are not doing weather prediction, but climate simulation. Thus simulating statistics of climate is important, but simulating precise sequence of weather events is not. Ole Christensen commented on repeated 1-yr runs that showed variability from year to year due to evolving and variability of soil moisture.
S-Y Hong: Plot large-scale and convective precipitation separately.
Publication plans were discussed
R. Arritt: Need documentation of all the models!
J. Roads: suggested using coarser resolution (100 km) and running longer to examine land surface iterations.
R Arritt: Consistent patterns emerged among models that are similar (e.g., common convection mechanisms).
J. Roads: spectrum of energy - is that a reasonable diagnostic? What should it be compared against? [Spectrum should transition smoothly from the reanalysis spectrum to the RCM spectrum.] Eta model analysis (EDAS) would be interesting to look at even if time period is not the same, could get a climatology.
Need for additional analyses was discussed.
J. Roads: suggested a difference between 93 and 88 would be informative.
Possible use of an ensemble of models was discussed.
Jens Christensen suggested we focus on areas where regional models add value to global models, and that we need to determine when and where the added value is realized.
NCEP reanal II should be coming out now. Soil moisture is improved because actual observed precip (rather than model) is used for soil moisture.
DISCUSSION OF A PIRCS EXPERIMENT 1c.
This would build on PIRCS 1a and 1b, but simulate several years.
G. Takle: Pan at ISU re-ran a short simulation with grid extended in north, south, east or west directions. Precipitation changed, even in central US.
M. Fox Rabinowitz: Boundaries should not be in a data-poor area for the reanalysis.
J. Christensen: Western boundary seems ok but lack of skill is most important in our target region.
C. Jones: For 1993, extending to south is of interest because of low-level jet
J. Roads: Practical consideration is that groups already are set up from having run 1a,b. He has run a 10-year simulation for PIRCS domain.
R. Jones: Need to let science issues drive choice of domain
M. Fox-Rabinowitz: Include North American Monsoon. Extend the domain south and west
B. Gutowski: GCIP extension (GAPP) includes emphasis on SW U.S. as well as Mississippi R. basin.
J. Christensen: Enlarging domain increases freedom within RCM domain.
J. Roads: ENSO cycle may be reasonably represented already as it is a winter phenomenon with signal in large-scale flow.
R. Jones: Build on what we have done. Two extremes have been done; simulate a longer period.
R. Arritt: Need to explore deficiencies in predicting cool season precipitation.
J. Roads: Need to test for sub-period. Different models may require different domains.
M. Fox-Rabinowitz: Specify minimal domain.
J. Roads: PIRCS domain probably satisfies minimum
C. Jones: Is the goal to improve results or understand whats happening?
C. Jones: Double nested domain. Internal mesoscale convective complexes require higher resolution (~ 20 km)
R. Laprise: Tradeoff between time and space. Support climate change experiments. Few have run climate change experiments at < 50 km. Extremes were a prototype for interannual variability. 10 years is minimal for statistics. Look at interannual variability of model vs .observations
C. Jones: People use RCMs for seasonal prediction, not just climate change.
R. Jones: Again, scientific question will dictate emphasis.
C. Jones: Basic question is whether RCMs provide added value
J. Christensen: GCMs cant produce extreme events.
B. Gutowski: Models arent capturing amplitudes of extremes.
J. Roads: Applications community wants longer time scales. Three basic points:
U. Busch: Effect of vertical resolutions
M. Fox-Rabinowitz: 20 layers may be too low. 70 layers may not even be enough based on some of his work.
J. Christensen: In PIRCS 1, vertical resolution was left to modelers, e.g., to match ongoing applications.
B. Gutowski: Specify minimal period and encourage modelers to do more if resources allow.
R. Jones: For long simulations, even a small set of models would be useful. Getting people involved is more important than strict requirements.
S. Y. Hong: Each participant needs to optimize domain. Climate forecast is an anomaly forecast; ability to capture mean doesnt imply ability to capture anomalies. Comparison w/statistical downscaling and GCMs in ability to get extremes.
J. Roads: How many will extend or do higher res.?
B. Gutowski: Be more careful about what we mean by "go beyond". - higher res. or larger domain (to south).
D. Caya: Keep resolution coarse for long simulation, then higher res. for a shorter period if there is something interesting.
R. Arritt: Need to coordinate for providing data sets.
J. Roads: Do 88, 93 at higher resolution as a subset of the longer run by implementing a one-way nest during those years.
J. Christensen: Using entire ERA 1979-93 for verification in MERCURE.
M. Fox-Rabinowitz: Community interest in 1997-99 ENSO.
Conclusion: Minimal domain will be the same as for PIRCS 1a,b with encouragement to go beyond and experiment with (a) higher resolution, (b) expanded boundaries, and (c) longer time series.
Minimal simulation:
minimal period: 1987-1993 (with appropriate spin-up as determined individually by modelers)
minimal domain: Same as PIRCS 1a,b
maximum grid spacing: ~ 50 km
Recommended extensions
Extend the period to 1978-1999
Start in summer of 1986 or do multiple-year spin-up for soil moisture
Nest a hi-res domain of 20-25 km for 88 and 93 60-day periods previously studied or more
Move southern boundary south by 5 deg (~ 10 grid points)
R. Laprise: Start before 87 for land surface spinup
J. Roads: Started in summer 86
Decide spinup "as needed"?
Sensible, latent heat flux, sfc temp.
C. Jones: Look at AMIP
This would focus on simulating South America and be timed to take advantage of the special observations and other data sets being created for the Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere (LBA) Experiment in the Amazon
Vicky Ballester (University of Sao Paolo) presented an overview of the LBA experiments and data
Data Information system
Data use
LBA started in early nineties and has attracted global interest. Issues addressed include exchange of energy water, carbon, trace gases and nutrients. An underlying question is how conversions of tropical forest will alter these exchanges. It is of considerable interest to predict the impact of deforestation.
How does Amazonia function as regional entity?
How do land use changes and climate variability affect this regional functioning?
Field campaigns started in 1998 and 1999. LBA integrates data and processes across many disciplines and includes:
Ecological studies
Physical climate and hydrology
Atmospheric chemistry
Database compilation
Integrated data system is used for data archive. Data generated by LBA will become public after 2 years
Web based search system for data includes a metadata search system
Land cover/land use (soil) database is available
Half hourly values are available of all variables measured
3 major sites: Rondonia, Santarem, Manaus
The LBA web site is http://www3.cptec.inpe.br/lba/index.html and can be linked to from the PIRCS web site (under Copenhagen meeting)
WETAMC: Wet Season Atmospheric Mesoscale Campaign
Jan Feb 1999 in Rondonia
LBA and TRMM (also Jan-Feb 1999). Also involved tower measurements, Doppler radar, etc.
Reanalysis using the RAMS model is planned
- 80 km resolution domain with 20 km inner nest
- target period: Jan-Feb 1999
Future plans
Dry AMC Sept-Nov 2002 availability of data will be accelerated
A low-level jet campaign planned for Dec. 2002 Jan/Feb. 2003
Chemistry campaign trace gases measurements
Time windows
Sept 2000
July/ Aug 2003 data from all campaigns will be available.
Main web site: www.cptec.inpe.BR/LBA
B. Gutowski: What about S. American monsoon
C. Jones: implications of ENSO for domain choice
LBA data sets 2001-2002. C. Nobre says we may be able to get some data earlier. Pre-LBA campaigns may be held.
V. Ballester: Can work out data sharing through LBA PIs.
Launch tracers from source regions?
J. Christensen: How to treat surface parameters will be a considerable challenge; role of land surface process schemes in RCMs will be tested.
How large are deforested areas?
M. Fox-Rabinowitz: quality of reanalyses lower over S. America due to lack of observations; this will affect the accuracy of verification data (could we run w/different reanalyses?)
J. Roads: IRI program has also done South American simulation. PIRCS can build on that.
L. Sun: Showed transparencies with IRI domain size. About 6 models are part of the IRI program.
J. Roads: Regional model precipitation is similar to reanalysis but with more detail. Results show a drying out of soil compared with reanalysis
Data archive has monthly means of various fields.
Provided a subset of reanalysis data.
Driving conditions available through ecpc.ucsd.edu/projects/brazilcomp.html
4/1/97 3/31/99, Soil drying is a problem
A very deep root zone needs to be considered for the soil submodel
Bill Gutowski presented the proposal for PIRCS 2
A domain of 150x150 gridpoints at 50 km is proposed. Land use type is available at this resolution.
Some key considerations:
ENSO events
South American Monsoon
Availability of LBA datasets:
observing periods 1999 and forward
some in 1996 and 1997.
data collected in 1999 can be available from specific investigators
Chemistry and soil-atmosphere interaction are key concerns. Question was raised about how much independent verification data we have?
R. Jones: (1) Why S. America? (2) Are we involving any S. American modeling groups?
B. Gutowski: Wanted to do a different (tropical) region; newer opportunity; IITAP connection promotes interaction with the developing world.
It is a tropical region
Amazon atmospheric heating is important for global climate
Comparison of low level jet, monsoon regions between North and South America
Sharp terrain is important to the flow and offers challenges to models
PIRCS has corresponded w/modeling groups at CPTEC, others (Tanajura, Argentina).
M. Fox-Rabinowitz: Others in U.S. have interest, e.g. Rutgers, Utah, U. MD.
J. Roads: An opportunity to test soil moisture; all models dry out during El Nino.
Trees may root to 20 m from which roots will draw moisture during dry periods. This will require a very long spin-up period.
Width of the Andes will be described by about 4 grid points at the proposed resolution.
R. Jones: Difficult to say where the boundary should be. One group should run a model to experiment with different boundaries to test sensitivity.
David Hassell RCM SIMULATIONS OF THE SOUTH ASIAN MONSOON: Issues important to a tropical simulation
Domain size experiments: 3 different domains with experimentation with southern and western boundary. Domain size did not relate to anomaly correlation, as was the case for Europe. There seems to be an insensitivity to domain size. Results seem to suggest that use of a small domain is possible. In the tropics physical incompatibility between global and regional model is not such a problem. No evidence that a small domain restricted the ability of a mesoscale model.
RCM mean precipitation is consistently ~ 20% higher than GCM (all 3 domains). Four individual summers in 1980s were simulated. There are break and active regimes of the Monsoon. The regional model did better than global model . Large portion of the heavy precipitation events in the regional model come in the break periods. During active periods cyclones track more northerly than during break periods. The 850 mb flow anomaly shows strengthening of westerlies in break periods and deeper monsoon trough in the active period. Cyclones initiate in Bay of Bengal, but not produced in GCM. The RCM develops cyclones but they are too large (resolution dependent?). Important factors include locally important regions of cyclogenesis.
A 20-year integration of the smallest regional model gave large improvement over the driving GCM in local mean precipitation features of break and active region
This is a result of the RCMs ability to generate cyclones passing over the SE with realistic frequency and intensity.
Boehm: REMO simulation showed the importance of capturing ITCZ migration effect on dry/wet year.
B. Gutowski: Define analysis area as shown, to overlap w/IRI. Then vary placement of forcing. Get experience of S. American modelers as input. On resolution, P. de Silva Dias says it is necessary to resolve squall lines. Initial proposal will be for 50 km, with possible inner nest. Possible choice of domain: keep the region of analysis as the "white region" in the IRI map shown by J. Roads. We should get input from SA modelers on this. F. Meisinger and Mike Fenissey on Cola are running experiments with the ETA model which will be useful to evaluate domain size.
Tentative experiment:
Resolution: 50 km (option 20 km inner nest is a possibility)
Period of simulation: Not the same as IRI. (which is Apr 97-Mar 99).
Period: Jan 98 - December 99 (Max El Nino -> current La Nina)
Coincides with LBA data sets.
V. Ballester: there are some max and min temps but there are large gaps in the datasets.
How many would do a PIRCS Expt 2: Christensen (HIRHAM), M. Fox-Rabinowitz (stretched grid), S.-Y. Hong (RSM), J. Larson (Argonne + ISU, MM5) indicated interest.
Modelers need justification. Up to 7 groups are willing.
C. Jones has tried using both the ECMWF and NCEP reanalysis for PIRCS 1and finds ECMWF better.
M. Fox-Rabinowitz: New DAO reanalysis will be much better for ENSO cycle than GEOS-I. It will provide data at 1ox 1o, 48 levels for 1997-99. It has not been started yet.
GEOS I reanalysis stopped in 1996 (1979-96). ERA 40 is being planned.
J. Roads: NCEP-II reanalysis? Is it at Lawrence Livermore National Lab? How can we get the data?
S.-Y. Hong: Format is the same as NCEP-I
Question was raised about the vertical interpolation
C. Jones: It is better to use raw data than interpolated values.
Surface boundary conditions were discussed. Vegetation and topography data are available. The 2o degree sea-surface temperature (SST) data are probably consistent with the reanalysis (1o SSTs may not be consistent). In the tropics we will want to use the best SSTs available because of their importance for convection and precipitation.
M. Fox-Rabinowitz showed results of a 40-km simulation that captured the precipitation well in the SE US. The University of Delaware (Willmot) has assembled a dataset with much better precipitation. Michael encourages use of 40 km resolution in simulations over the US.

Boston Breakers
Coach: Tony DiCicco (3rd year)
2010 Record: 10-8-6 (2nd place)
Home Stadium: Harvard Stadium (Cambridge, Massachusetts)
Goalkeepers (3): Kelsey Davis, Alyssa Naeher, Ashley Phillips.
Defenders (7): Liz Bogus, Rachel Buehler, Stephanie Cox, Ifeoma Dieke, Amy LePeilbet, Kasey Moore, Alex Scott.
Midfielders (8): Jordan Angeli, Leah Blayney, Niki Cross, Leslie Osborne, Elli Reed(R), Katie Schoepfer, Nikki Washington, Keelin Winters(R).
Forwards (5): Lauren Cheney, Taryn Hemmings, Kelley O'Hara, Kelly Smith, Claire Zimmeck.
(R) denotes true rookie; returning players in bold.
Probable World Cup players: Buehler, Cox, LePeilbet, Scott, Cheney, O'Hara, and Smith.
Boston returns 14 players from last season's 2nd place finish (regular season) and that continuity should help them early on. The Breakers also picked up two highly regarded players from Gold Pride's championship team, Rachel Buehler and Kelley O'Hara.
The Breakers finished very strong in 2010, 9-3-2 over their last 14 matches with two of the losses coming against FC Gold Pride. An overtime loss to Philadelphia meant that the season ended in disappointment, but the team made a lot of progress during the season and looks to be a contender for the title this season.
Goalkeepers: Alyssa Naeher is the number one keeper and she did a fine job over the final two thirds of the 2010 season. She posted a 1.17 goals against average and three shutouts. Heading into this season with a year's experience under her belt, she should be even better.
There is an outside chance Naeher could be selected to the USWNT for the World Cup, although it looks as though Ashlyn Harris will get the third goalkeeper's spot right now. Boston's backup keepers are Ashley Phillips, who was the Breakers starter early last season and Kelsey Davis, who spent time with the Red Stars last season and has been a regular on national junior teams.
Defenders: This could be the best defense in WPS, although a couple of other sides could put up good arguments. The starters are national team players all, with Alex Scott and Stephanie Cox on the outside and Rachel Buehler and Amy LePeilbet on the inside. Buehler comes over from Gold Pride, a team that she helped make the best defensive unit last year. LePeilbet is a two-time defensive player of the year in WPS. Scott, a starter with the English National Team, is one the best offensive outside backs in soccer. Cox is a consistent performer, who rarely makes mistakes.
The problem is that they are so good, they will all be in Germany in June and July, meaning the Breakers lose their entire back line for a good part of the season. Ifeoma Dieke can certainly step right in. She is a member of the Scottish National Team and has excellent speed. Kasey Moore is a two-year veteran of the Breakers, so she is familiar with their system. Liz Bogus is listed as a defender, although her natural position is either attacking mid or forward, so the back line will be rather new to her.
Boston will have to move some of their listed midfielders to play back line. The most likely candidates are Niki Cross, Elli Reed, or Jordan Angeli, all of whom have extensive experience at playing back line. Reed was excellent at outside back for Portland while in college and is one of two rookies to make the squad.
Midfielders: Probably the area that has seen the most changes for Boston is in the midfield. With the retirement of Kristine Lilly, Leslie Osborne will be the experienced leadership in this group. Osborne is a top notch defensive player, and like teammate Rachel Buehler, can be one of the toughest tacklers in the league.
Jordan Angeli is another returnee and was one of the pleasant surprises of the 2010 season. After becoming a starter a third of the way into the season, she scored seven goals, second most on the team. She is a solid defender as well. Nikki Washington is another midfielder that can score. An excellent attacking player from the wing, the former UNC star has been slowed by injuries since 2009.
Another Portland alum, Keelin Winters, will also compete for a starting role at midfield. Winters is a hard worker and has great soccer intelligence. Leah Blayney has played club soccer both in the US and in her native Australia.
Forwards: The forward tandem of Kelly Smith and Lauren Cheney should give opponents all sorts of problems. Smith, who might possibly be the best women's player in the world not named Marta, is a tough, talented veteran who always seems to make good decisions. She has scored 17 goals over two seasons in WPS while playing through injuries.
Cheney is a strong, young USWNT player. She is at her best receiving the ball with her back to the goal and is always a threat to turn a defender and get off a lethal shot. She can also get a shot off in traffic, a skill not many players have. In addition, Boston picked up Kelley O'Hara, also a member of the USWNT. O'Hara has very good speed and can find the gaps in opposing defenses.
Again, the problem is that many of the forwards will be headed to the World Cup. The other forwards all have limited WPS experience. Taryn Hemmings, Claire Zimmeck, and Katie Schoepfer have seen some WPS action and will be counted on heavily during the other's absences. Washington might also be a candidate to move up to forward.
Outlook: The only two things standing in the way of this team and a championship are the 2011 World Cup and the other top teams in WPS. Boston will be hit hard by World Cup losses, which could force them down the standings a bit. Other teams will be going through the same thing, but no other team stands to lose both its entire back line and its top three forwards. Really, only Western New York comes close to losing that much talent.
But in any case, Boston should be a playoff team and then it's just a matter if they can beat the other top teams in the league in a pressure situation. The added speed that O'Hara and Washington will give to this team will help. Certainly, continuity is a plus for the Breakers, having the same coach, the same system, and the same core group of players. If the midfield can come into its own and if Naeher can continue to improve in goal, the sky's the limit for this team.


text: The purpose of this work was to evaluate three volumetric registration methods in terms of technique, user-friendliness and time requirements. CT and SPECT data from 11 patients were interactively registered using: a 3D method involving only affine transformation; a mixed 3D - 2D non-affine (warping) method; and a 3D non-affine (warping) method. In the first method representative isosurfaces are generated from the anatomical images. Registration proceeds through translation, rotation, and scaling in all three space variables. Resulting isosurfaces are fused and quantitative measurements are possible. In the second method, the 3D volumes are rendered co-planar by performing an oblique projection. Corresponding landmark pairs are chosen on matching axial slice sets. A polynomial warp is then applied. This method has undergone extensive validation and was used to evaluate the results. The third method employs visualization tools. The data model allows images to be localized within two separate volumes. Landmarks are chosen on separate slices. Polynomial warping coefficients are generated and data points from one volume are moved to the corresponding new positions. The two landmark methods were the least time consuming (10 to 30 minutes from start to finish), but did demand a good knowledge of anatomy. The affine method was tedious and required a fair understanding of 3D geometry.

I don't know what it is but recently my eyes have been stuffed full of visual treats.
Yesterday I had parked my car up on the side of the road and was waiting for a friend.
I was watching the people walking along as you do, wondering about their stories when I saw something quite unusual. There was a guy up a tree, a youngish fella, he had a little backpack on, one of those long skateboards and a big sheet. I suspect he may have been homeless and perhaps on something anyway he kept moving from branch to branch and swinging from some by his hands and then crouching like he was roosting. Again there was only 3 things I wanted to know, 1.) that he wasn't going to fall and 2.) What kind of animal he was imagining he was 3.) and if he was going to sleep in the tree how would he do it. Tree boy man look out for one in your neighborhood or perhaps it is you...<?

Whether you wear make up every day or just every now and again, if you put in on you've got to take it off! If I'm on a very lazy day I'll just baby wipes to take my make up off but I do like to it properly when I can. As a wear Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation I need a make remover that isn't scared of a challenge!
I've been using these products for ages and I only stumbled across them by chance but I swear they are sent from above!
I don't know how many of you have heard of the Matis range but I will use nothing else on skin. You know when you've been using something for so long that your scared to change? That's how I feel about these products. They seem to suit my skin. I'm worried that if I change my routine my skin will have a major strop and breakout so I'm staying put - if it's not broken, don't fix it.
I buy my Matis products from Feel Unique as I find it's the cheapest. They don't always have them in stock though, so occasionally I do have to shop around.
Cleanser and toner wise I user Reponse Jeunesse Essential Cleansing Emulsion and Essential Lotion. Reponse Jeunesse is their anit-aging range, I'm 24 so don't really need anti-aging but in my eyes prevention is better than cure! These products are so lovely to use. To remove make up you massage the emulsion on to your face until it goes creamy and then wipe it off by popping some lotion on a cotton pad. You keep going until the pad comes away clear with no traces of make up. This step can take AGES!! If I'm feeling impatient I use water to wash my make up and emulsion off then tone with the lotion. The company recommend not using water but when I'm rushing to get ready impatience gets the better of me!
I find that theses products really do remove every trace of make up but in a gentle way. I hate it when my skin feels really sensitive after removing make up but I find these products quite moisturising. My skin is combination and they seem to really suit it. I wouldn't use anything else!
To remove eye make up I either use Simple eye make-up remover or Clarins Gentle Eye Make-up Remover Lotion. Whatever I use it has to be gentle. The corners of my eyes are terrible for drying out if I use anything harsh. I find Simple eye make up remover removes my mascara better than the Clarins. I don't use waterproof mascara but I do layer it on and I find that when I use Simple I spend less time removing it. In all honesty I only ended up with the Clarins as there was a 3 for 2 offer on but once I've used it up I'll be going back to Simple.
And that's pretty much how I take my make up off - I moisturise afterwards but thats a whole other story! I'll save it for a rainy day!
How do you remove your make up?

My daily skin care routine - make up removal
2 comments:
I have superdrug cleanse and toner! What you use sounds like it would suit me much more though. However, I'm normally to lazy to remove my makeup the proper way, so I usually end up stealing my sons baby wipes! XoReplyDeleteReplies
Baby wipes are a god send aren't they! I'd love to think I cleanse and tone properly everyday but sometimes I just don't have time/can't be bothered! Half the time i just want to go to sleep. These products are great though - it's like having a mini facial! XxDelete

From the Pete Bouchard files.
I am an official member of the Pete Bouchard fan club. Well, you know. It's kind of like an Army of One. My friend Alicia showed me this gem as we drove around Newbury Street looking for a place to park and get our nails done.
"I told Pete 'Pete, my friend Amy really loves you. She watches you every day, so can you autograph one of those pictures you have of yourself for crazy people for her? It would make her month.'"
Sadly enough, it pretty much did. I realized it's a 5 x 7, so I popped that sucker in a frame as soon as I got it home. Pete's currently sitting on my stereo, smiling at me, thanking me for watching. I am far too excited about this. I think I'll send him a thank-you email, because I am that lame (or polite, depending on your view).
Hee. Pete Bouchard said I rock. Awesome. And he sang a song as he signed the crazy people head shot about Amy, which I wish I could have heard.
Also, check out today's weather writeup on channel 7's website:
Speculate on the Arlene's strength at landfall? I'd rather wear assless chaps and drive a moped to Bike Week. Suffice it to say, given the "cooler" early season water temps in the Gulf of Mexico, Arlene should stay below hurricane status.
That is not hot, but the mental image of a whitle, balding meteorologist riding through Laconia with the Harley guys is hilarious.
Happy Friday, indeed!

Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh (Ind.) took a shot at Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle (R) during a cable news interview Wednesday.
At the end of his spot with NBC's Andrea Mitchell, Bayh went off script.
"One last thing Andrea, after watching your report about the Nevada Senate race, will you be my friend?" he asked.
Bayh referred to an interview between Fox News's Carl Cameron and Angle, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-Nev.) opponent. Angle said that her campaign wants the press to "be our friend" and to "ask the questions we want to answer so that they report the news the way we want it to be reported."
Mitchell laughed and said, "I will be your friend senator."
"I couldn't resist," Bayh shot back.
"Only easy questions from now on senator, that's my M.O.," Mitchell added.

I have been super busy lately! We have had a lot going on and I have been working like crazy. I finally got my new website launched. http://hannahvickersphotography.com/ Let me know what you think! I have also had lots of sessions and I am doing a back to school special right now. So on top of all that we had a garage sale last weekend, took Sawyer to the dentist, went to a birthday party for Big Papa and lots of other stuff. Here are a few pictures from the week-
We took Sawyer into our dentist to have her teeth looked at cause we thought she had a lot of tarter build up and were worried about her getting cavities. Turns out it was just stain and we can get it off if we hold her down long enough when we brush her teeth! They hate having their teeth brushed right now though and it is not a fun job.

Certainly the simplest database layout e-book i have stumble upon. a superb mixture of concept and practicality that would depart you well-prepared to take on near to any layout problem. the simplest half in regards to the ebook is that it isn't in particular tied to any database, it is extra in regards to the ideas and guidance that you're going to use in any implementation, yet with no the overbearing educational vibe. i used to be a bit fearful while I opened the e-book and observed that he used to be an MIT nerd, however the writer is sort of a personality and does a good activity speaking to these people on planet earth.
Well written, a whole bunch functional recommendation, lots of sophisticated humor, and extremely effortless to learn. There are a great deal of examples, workouts, and actual global assistance that maintain this (normally uninteresting) subject fascinating. Bravo.

Quite typically, retail is simplistic when it comes to computerization. Manufacturing can be extremely complex, especially when parts and pieces manufactured are custom-made as well as off-the-shelf. The more complexity a database model requires, the more questions you must ask. The more questions there are to ask, the larger the amount of detail and potential layering within the structure of a design solution. In conclusion, the more questions you have, the more people you might want to talk to, and, thus, the more people in different roles you will probably need to talk to as well.
For example, a simple invoicing system requiring only that bills be sent out excluding details of what is being sent out makes a simple book retailer require the same data modeling complexity as that of an auto parts manufacturer. Of course, if the evolving application is to include part numbers, colors, materials of which items are made, correct parts for different types of cars, how things are made, precise measurements, the list goes on — there is a complexity issue. How complicated can selling books get?
If a separate set of tables is created for every special-case scenario, you will have too many tables and, therefore, no reduction in complexity (probably what the company was aiming at by computerizing). An extremely complex database model is not the objective. Application developers and end-users need simplicity. Without adequate simplicity, your database model design might be impossible to use, particularly in the case of end-users and a data warehouse. The job of a database modeler is simplicity through abstraction.

How can i change the drum bearing
i get a very noisey spin and ive got rusty coloured residue coming from around the motor please help
Posted by carl_walton on
I would definitely not attempt this if you have no experience. Is is quite a lengthy process. Specialised tools are required. Discontinue using immediatly, as it will cause further damage to machine and property.

Bedroom. Saturday , March 24th , 2018 - 05:46:37 AM
Sometimes choosing a theme for a room can be the best inspiration for getting it to feel exactly how you'd like it. For bedrooms, one great theme is going with a country vibe that will make you forget the bustle of life outside the bedroom door. Keep the walls sunny and bright by choosing a pale yellow paint color and decorate with landscape photographs and light wooden furniture. Use antique touches, like a delicate chandelier and curvy nightstands to make sure the room doesn't feel too old-fashioned or frumpy.
Your bedroom should be a place to relax and unwind. And while your master bedroom's design can have a major effect on resale value, it's also a space that is primarily for you so it's important that you create a space that you'll love. It's easy to change the look of a bedroom on any budget, whether that means bringing in new furniture pieces, adding a few splashes of color or altering the lighting to be more soothing. There are many different styles and aesthetics that you can emulate in order to produce a space that works for you. If you're wondering where to start, here are some bedroom decorating ideas to help you turn your bedroom into one of your favorite rooms in the house.
Extravegant and also flamboyant floral wall surface art is fresh. There is something refreshing about the elegance of natural flowers (without wishing to sound also flowery). If you are a individual who values the intricacies and also facinations of living globe, a huge wall surface paint or print might include that motivational side which your bedroom has actually done not have. Our individual preference is a expertly hand paintinged piece, however this comes at a rate. Big prints are an acceptable choice; as long as what you choose offer you an added bounce in your spirit when you take a look at it.

My perfect day off (PDO) begins with coffee. Many of my days do, but my perfect one starts with a tall caramel macchiato from Starbucks, with a couple of sugars and a smile. All days should start with a smile. Not from me – I am very far from being a morning person – but from someone, preferably a special someone who has brought the coffee. The PDO will then move downstairs to breakfast. This is nothing fancy, perhaps smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. Maybe in a bagel.

Not waving, but drowning
I have a problem. It's one I've faced before and I'm sure I'll face it again. But I've never experienced it in such a debilitating way before. It may not seem like a problem to you, dear reader, but for me it is a cause of great concern.
Dedicated writing space
So it's been three months since I moved up north (blimey doesn't time fly) and today, finally, the big day has arrived. The day I have waited for since seeing the house and realising it would be my home for the foreseeable future.
My office has furniture in!
Knowing your limits
University already feels like a distant memory but it was less than two months ago that I handed in my final piece of coursework. Since then I feel like a thousand things have happened to me and compared to the three manic years of studying I don't feel like I've achieved very much. And I think I've figured out why.
Where to start…
Uni has finished. I have moved house. I have started a new job. I am living with the Bearded One. I have lost two wonderful pets. All in about three week.
And it turns out that real life is much harder A.U. – after uni. Before uni (B.U.) it was get up, go to work, come home, cook dinner, sit in front of the tv, go to bed, repeat. But now I have dreams and goals and aims for my life and friends I want to spend time with and a new home to explore.
I honestly never thought life would be so hard to juggle. And this is not in any way a complaint. I have loved moving away from Bristol, despite leaving my friends and family behind me. I love the fact I can share this wonderful village and countryside with them when they come and visit me, and the fact that when we see each other we will have so much to catch up on. But I miss living with some of my best friends. Granted, I am living with one of them, but the rest are a long way away when you need a girlie catch up.
One thing that has been easier than anticipated is living with the Bearded One. He is a wonderful housemate. He cooks, he cleans, he makes me write when I need to and we can snuggle up together on the sofa in the evening. After two years of long distance where the best we had was Skype it's something we are still grateful for every night.
But fitting everything in – that's not going so well yet. We have had a mad weekend of socialising during the annual beer festival that takes place a few miles up the valley. It was great to get to know the Bearded One's pals up here, and one thing I did miss about uni was having guy friends. I grew up with two big brothers so was always used to having lots of guys around. Everyone is so friendly and lovely up here and after a few ales we were getting along like a house on fire.
A note of sadness is the passing of two of my wonderful pets. First of all, the irrepressible Bean (the bunny) left us very suddenly just before I moved up country. His poor little heart was too full of love and he went during the night. I found him the next morning and the amount of affectionate comments I had from the many people who had met him genuinely touched me. He is greatly missed but I know he's hopping around with some great company up there. He was joined not so long ago by my parents beautiful German Shepherd Belle, a sprightly puppy of 14 who was put to sleep. She was one of the most beautiful dogs I have ever know and I considered her one of mine even though I never lived with her. I know my parents were devastated by her passing but it was the worst kind of situation where it was the best thing for her. A couple of downs in my crazy valley of a month!
As for writing. The blog has been seriously neglected due to lack of an internet connection. That is somewhat fixed thanks to our lovely next door neighbours being more than generous but it does mean I have felt rather cut off from the blogosphere. The novel is still coming along though. My new goal is to have first draft finished in order to start a new project (or rather reincarnate an old one) for the July Camp Nanowrimo. I'm so close to finishing draft one that I almost want to skip the remaining chapters and go right to the end.
Overall though I'm incredibly happy and at peace right now. It's the right kind of manic for me and I hope it doesn't slow down – not really. I mean, life is pretty short, and you have to make the most of it while you have it. Right?
On being late to the party…
Every now and then a film/book/tv series is released and becomes THE thing to see. It takes over – all of your friends have seen it, it's on all the social media sites and before you know it there are songs in the charts and merchandise everywhere.
I am one of those people that always misses them. Sometimes it's because I tried it and I'm not keen (Game of Thrones springs to mind) and sometimes out of pure stubbornness. One of the stubborn moments occurred around the release of Disney's Frozen. Very quickly it was everywhere, even at university, and I was told time and time again 'You have to watch this movie'. The song was everywhere, there were quotes thrown around and people were giggling at the concept of Snowmen who wanted to see the summer.
The end is nigh
I'm not quite sure how it has come about, but in a little over 7 days I will have completed all my classes, submitted all of my coursework and will essentially be finished with my undergraduate university career. Wowzer.
It's been a lot of hard work. Some moments have been downright awful, some have been fantastic and every one has been new to me. Right now I am looking forward to a few days with nothing to worry about. In the last three weeks I have handed in 8,000 words and have another 12,000 due before the week is out. These last few deadlines have been the hardest of them all, not necessarily because they have been more complex (though they have), but mainly because I am so tired.
Recently it has felt relentless. No sooner has one submission gone in that another has been imminently due. I consider myself luckier than most as I don't have any exams to worry about, but the downside of that has been 20,000 words in a month.
I'm looking forward to the end for a number of reasons, some of which I'll list below.
1) I'm tired. I can't wait for a few days of sleeping, lounging around in my pjs and catching up on some movies that have been on my 'to watch' list for a very long time. Lazy and perhaps a little selfish, but a reason nonetheless.
2) I'm ready to be a grown up again. I'm glad I waited a few years before I came to uni. Being a 'mature' student has meant that I know what my focus is and I haven't been concerned with being at every party, socialising at every opportunity. Sadly it has meant that I have missed the freedom and pleasure a regular wage can bring. Again shallow and this time materialistic but true.
3) I miss the Bearded One. Almost two years of long distance it's really starting to wear thin. Plus he's moved into our new house in the beautiful lake district and I want to be there!
4) I want to do something with everything I've learned. I have improved my skills in so many ways, learnt so much about myself and what I can do and I want to get out there and put everything into action. I think I can be really good at whatever it is I want to do and I want to get out there!
As mentioned already, only a week and all of this will become all too real and I will no doubt be wishing for my student life again. But that's a whole week away. Feels like a lifetime right now…
Many apologies for any typos, nonsense or rubbish in the body of this post. As stated in point one, I am tired. Be gentle with me.
This week
Wow. It's been a hectic week. There have been shows to tech, deadlines to meet, essays to plan and Easter to arrange (escape to the North – hurrah). Therefore I come to Sunday and I have ideas for posts but no actual energy or inspiration to write them. So I shall save them for another week and this week instead I shall indulge myself and share some of my creative writing with you. I've been tidying and organising my computer recently trying to get everything in the same place and have managed to bring all of my writings together. Some of it I would go so far as to say it is good, other stuff…needs work, shall we say. But I've chosen a few pieces to share with you over the next seven days.
The one I'm going to start with is the thing I have been working so hard on for the last three months. Once Upon A Fairy-Tale (working title) is a novel I have been writing for my Creative Writing module at uni. It's a new genre which I have titled an Anti-Fairy Tale, kind along the lines of Gregory Maguire's Oz works. The thing to remember with it is every creature you come across is the opposite of what you would expect.
Off to Camp I go
Those who have been following this blog will remember back in November I participated in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and managed to write 30,000 words of a novel in just a month. While this was technically a failure by their standards (you're supposed to hit 50k) I was pretty chuffed to get that much down in such a short space of time. I haven't looked at it since, being too occupied with uni work and the novel I'm writing for one of my modules to even think about editing.
I am, however, desperate to finish both of these novels. I love the story for both of them and have had many people interested in the concept of both of them, saying they would love to read them when they are written. So, despite the dissertation (and the other 12,000 words of other assignments) I have signed myself up to Camp NaNoWriMo. Basically, it's the same as November, with a few minor changes. Most importantly for me this time, you can choose your own word count. So I can choose an achievable amount of words each day and still be able to focus on my uni work… in theory!
New ventures
So last night I started a new blog (because I had the idea so I figured I might as well just go for it). It's purely about writing prompts and getting people's work published also. You can find it here. It has daily writing prompts in and the opportunity to become a featured writer once a week, with links to your blog and social media sites. Please feel free to have a look and follow it.
Many thanks all 🙂

Executive Director's Corner
Dear Friends,
A long time ago in a state far, far away I started my seminary studies. On the very first day I met a man from South India, named Ajit, who became a life-long friend. After we got to know each other, he asked, "Why do Americans greet me with 'Hey, how are you?', but they never wait to hear the answer?"
I shared that for many people it's more of a greeting rather than a question.
And yet, how often do we actually stop to hear the answer as to how people are doing?
One of the amazing things about Hope is that people not only stop to listen, but they take the time to see the whole person. There's a word that we've been using at Hope which encapsulates this: Sawubona, meaning "I see you."
It's a greeting that a Zulu tribe in South Africa uses, only it doesn't just mean "I see you". Its significance is much greater than sight—it means I see YOU with dignity. As a whole person. For who you are.
When the person is greeted with Sawubona, the person replies, "I am seen." I am here. I am valued.
At Hope we see the whole person. For who they are. We don't just see the need. We see everyone who comes to Hope as created in the image of God, deserving dignity and the best care and support.
We're thankful that you're part of seeing the whole person.
Peace be with you,
M. Douglas Campbell

CIAMO recently received a gift from sponsor Zildjian, a company that is very serious about the history of the cymbal , and uses that history to create a brilliant sound. Avedis Zildjian provided the center with a 20" ride, a set of hi-hat 14", 16" custom crash, and 17" dark crash. This gift has allowed us to expand our lessons to include a program for drummers. They also generously included 24 sets of drumsticks and 12 t-shirts.
Without sponsorships such as this, the center would not be able to expand rapidly to meet the musical needs of the community. Thanks Zildjian!
