About Jeff Masters

By: Angela Fritz , 9:48 PM GMT on October 25, 2012
Hurricane Sandy is tracking north through the Bahamas this afternoon as a Category 2 hurricane. Maximum wind speeds in the hurricane are 105 mph, with a minimum central pressure of 963 mb. Sandy's center is moving through the eastern Bahamas, about 100 miles southeast of Nassau. The hurricane's eye is still not apparent on satellite nor was it clear in the data from today's Hurricane Hunter mission. Gusts in Nassau have reached 39 mph so far today as the hurricane approaches from the south. Buoys west of Nassau have been recording surface winds up to 39 mph, as well. On Abaco Island, just over an inch of rain has fallen today, and almost an inch of rain has fallen in Miami, where rain started last night.
Sandy's appearance on satellite is a bit ragged this afternoon as it approaches very high wind shear (40-50 knots). The hurricane is obviously already undergoing structural changes this afternoon, caused in part by an upper level low over western Cuba. This low is prohibiting Sandy's outflow on the west side, and as a result, the storm appears asymmetrical with a large area of outflow and circulation to the north, and only a tail of circulation on the southeast of the hurricane. Visually, Sandy is a huge storm. Based on clouds alone, Sandy stretches from Jacksonville, Florida, east to Bermuda, and south to the southern Caribbean Sea. Sandy's radius of outer closed isobar is 350 miles, though tropical storm-force winds only extend around 200 miles from the center.

Forecast For Hurricane Sandy
As Sandy moves north, it will grow larger and the hurricane's energy will spread out even more, which will lead to a slight decrease in maximum wind speed. Models agree on this steady decrease in intensity over the next few days, though beyond that, the intensity forecast is still in question since Sandy could begin to gain non-tropical energy as it transitions into a non-tropical storm. The track through Saturday evening remains well understood by the models: Sandy will move north with a slight turn to the west before being yanked north-northeast again by the approaching mid-latitude trough. It's at this point in the forecast that the models diverge, though all but the HWRF are forecasting the unfortunate turn back to the west and into the Northeast U.S. Furthest south along the East Coast is the ECMWF, which forecasts a turn into Maryland/North Carolina on Monday. The GFS forecast is a bit further north than the ECMWF, pushing Sandy onshore near Long Island late Tuesday night. However, this represents a large shift south from earlier GFS runs, and puts the Mid-Atlantic into play more than it was in earlier forecasts. The forecast from the National Hurricane Center appears to be a compromise between the ECMWF and the GFS. The Center is forecasting Sandy to approach the New Jersey coast on Tuesday afternoon.
There are many questions surrounding this hurricane and its forecast, but I find it important to convey that Sandy's impacts will be widespread, no matter the location of "landfall." Risk to the Mid-Atlantic seems higher this afternoon, and as Jeff noted in his morning blog, Sandy will be a very large and possibly non-tropical storm as it approaches the coast, with gale-force winds extending up to 300 miles from its center. This increases the probability of storm surge extending far from the center of the storm, which, combined with the timing of a full moon tide, is a big concern, along with freshwater and river flooding from heavy, extended periods of rain.

The National Weather Service is launching extra weather balloons all over the country to improve the quality of forecasts as Sandy approaches.

Quoting AussieStorm:haha Joe saying the entire AC boardwalk could be destoyed smh this is CRAZY and outtahand |
Walking through manhattan right now you would never know a hurricane is on its way... This city is not prepared! |
Quoting TomballTXPride: bugger, so I have been doing these for nothing?? |
Question: Can you quantify this in terms of history? Barometric pressure? Franklin: Intensification due to tropical processes ending. #Sandy Uccellini: The way the two systems are merging are contributing to each other to enhance the process. #Sandy |
Question: Chance of impacts being greater inland like #Irene? Uccellini: Chances of 4-8" of rain incr. Slow mvt, topo will enhance. Franklin: Diff between trop cyclone and ET: With tropical, need storms to bring fast winds down to surface. Very spotty high winds. Franklin: In #Sandy's case, it's the large-scale pressure field driving winds. This will give us a large area with a uniform wind field. |
Franklin: Several hundred miles wide area of TS-force winds likely around the track with hurricane force winds close to center. #Sandy Question: How big will the surge be and how much damage will it do relative to #Irene? #Sandy Franklin: No specific numbers yet, but numbers higher than #Irene for someone with #Sandy. Franklin: Wind field & angle of attack with #Sandy means a "very, very, very large area" of surge north of the center. Bigger than Question: Best sense for what NYC will expect? Franklin: Not 4 days out. Track error is average 200 miles. #Sandy Franklin: If track shifts south, NYC gets low-mid TS winds. If track shifts north, NYC gets high-end TS-force. #Sandy Uccellini: Same is true for rainfall. Shift in track north would move rainfall maximum north toward NYC. #Sandy |
Uccellini: Wind likely from Carolinas well into New England. Wind minimum in the Appalachian mtns. Breezy again N/W of #Sandy. Franklin: 4 days out, it doesn't pay to get too specific about winds given track error & complicated T/ET evolution at landfall. #Sandy |
Uccellini: Strong winds likely to develop in the Ohio valley and across the Great Lakes, especially east due to the size of the storm. Uccellini: Want to emphasize - still a range of solutions for #Sandy's track. Track will dictate surge, rain most. Significant surge likely. Uccellini: Current forecast track points to significant effects and risk of flooding in DC, DE, eastern/central PA and NY. Question: Can you explain the difference of rain/snow depending on track differences north vs south? What totals can we expect? #Sandy Uccellini: WV will be the snow area regardless of track due to upper level pattern. #Sandy Uccellini: 10" of rainfall likely along and east of the eventual track w/ max amount concentrated close. Shift N would include SE NY. #Sandy |
Quoting uncwhurricane85:Your ignorance is showing. |
Quoting RitaEvac:I wonder what the lobstermen do with their pots, or is their season over? I heard from some crabbers that their trap lines are scattered in Fl. bay. |
Conference call with @NHC_Atlantic right now... talking about error in model track 150-200 miles days 3, 4, 5. That's why the uncertainty this was a tweet from local station in boston |
Skyepony, Thanks for the info on the tremor in Assumption Parish. I was not aware that had occurred and will follow up. I've been following Sandy and have not been paying much attention to anything else. I have relatives in the Sandy impact zone. Hoping for the best for everyone in the path of this storm. |
Uccellini: We're at the 90% level of certainty that #Sandy will make landfall somewhere. Size of storm will dictate big wind/surge impacts. Uccellini: #Sandy will cause some snow across the Apps, ctrl WV, and further west into eastern OH and into SW PA as colder air moves in. |
James Franklin from @NHC_Atlantic first up. #Sandy is a cat1 hurricane, 80 mph, moving NNW out of Bahamas. Turn was expected. James Franklin from @NHC_Atlantic first up. #Sandy is a cat1 hurricane, 80 mph, moving NNW out of Bahamas. Turn was expected. Franklin: Another turn back toward the N, then NW, is expected once it gets past the NC coastline. Error grows at days 3-5 days. #Sandy Franklin: Someone is going to get a significant surge event out of this, but it's still too soon to tell whom. #Sandy Franklin: Someone is going to get a significant surge event out of this, but it's still too soon to tell whom. #Sandy NCEP director Uccellini: One complication is transformation from tropical to extra-tropical. #Sandy may not remain tropical to landfall. Uccellini: When and where this transformation takes place probably won't have a big effect on impacts, however. #Sandy |
Re: East Coast High Impact Hurricane/Post Tropical Storm San Postby Andrew » Fri Oct 26, 2012 9:26 am Email from Jeff (and one of the most "eye opening" emails too). (Scroll down a bit) Potentially historic and unprecedented hurricane potential for the NE US coast. Over the next 5 days a set of extraordinary meteorological factors will come together to potentially produce a hurricane impact on the NE US coast that has never before been experienced since the founding of this nation and the keeping of written weather records. In response to this potential threat, all US weather balloon sounding stations are launching upper air balloons every 6 hours to incorporate the latest data into the forecast models in support of NHC and HPC forecasting operations…this has never happened before!

The sulfur stench in Southern CA was discussed here in depth. Now they are saying it could be from volcano.. Earthquake swarms and a region-wide rotten egg smell recently reminded Southern California residents they live next to an active volcano field, tiny though it may be. At the time, scientists said the phenomena did not reflect changes in the magma chamber below the Salton Sea. But now, researchers may need to revise estimates of the potential hazard posed by the Salton Buttes - five volcanoes at the lake's southern tip. The buttes last erupted between 940 and 0 B.C., not 30,000 years ago, as previously thought, a new study detailed online Oct. 15 in the journal Geology reports. The new age - which makes these some of California's youngest volcanoes - pushes the volcanic quintuplets into active status. The California Volcano Observatory, launched in February by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), already lists the area as a high threat for future blasts. "The USGS is starting to monitor all potentially active volcanoes in California, which includes the Salton Buttes," said study author Axel Schmitt, a geochronologist at the University of California, Los Angeles. "With our results, I think this will further enhance the need to look into the system," Schmitt told OurAmazingPlanet. Schmitt and his colleagues dated zircon crystals in the hardened lava of the buttes with a relatively new technique, a "helium clock" that starts ticking once the minerals begin cooling at the surface. The National Science Foundation's EarthScope project funds an extensive seismic imaging project in the Salton Sea that may soon reveal more information about what's happening deep underground. "We'll be looking with great interest to see what we can tell from the Salton Seismic Imaging Project," said Joann Stock, a Caltech professor and an expert on the region's volcanic hazards who was not involved in the new study. "I think (Schmitt's study) is a great contribution," she said. "It's an area where we should be concerned. We know that there's a lot of hot stuff down there," she told OurAmazingPlanet. In August, an earthquake swarm shook the nearby town of Brawley. The USGS attributed the temblors to faults in the Brawley Seismic Zone. In September, a sulfurous stench emanated from the Salton Sea and wafted across the Inland Empire. The odor was tentatively linked to a fish die-off, but could also have been caused by volcanic gases, Stock said. |

Quoting reedzone: I am taking it seriously, I'm just feeling less and less like it will be a direct hit. I think it will still be a memorable storm and will cause a lot of damage. But the GFS run from earlier that had it essentially circling us and making two landfalls would have been a disaster that I can't really imagine. People here are very, very used to hyped-up systems not panning out. My old man, for example, is convinced this thing will be no more than a wet, blustery day of weather. Not downplaying it but I think it's a very real possibility that it gets added to the long list of Long Island Disasters That Weren't. |
Quoting Doppler22:good work..stay safe |
Quoting airChrist:The thing is, Sandy needn't be an "apocalypticane" nor even a "historical" storm to cause millions or billions of dollars in damage over a very wide, densely-populated area. But the experts are beginning to come into consensus that, while Frankensandy may not be the sub-930mb super-monster some models are predicting, she is definitely going to have major impacts for which people should be prepared... |
Long Islanders are actually joking around about it, that's how stubborn they are. |
Quoting reedzone: What is that phrase about Mules and water ?? :-) No one can claim that they have NOT been warned! But I do understand the "power" of complacency due to so-called "false alarms" - not that Irene was necessarily a "false alarm" up there - some people suffered major damages! |

A couple of weeks ago, I urged people who don't think a bust of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin belongs at the National D-Day Memorial to be team players as far as the Memorial, itself, goes. It's really hard to do that when D-Day Memorial Foundation decision makers apparently won't let them do it.
Restoring the Mill
I have been a member of the Big Otter Mill Commission, who have been working for some time to get the Big Otter Mill back into working order, since the summer of 2007. The progress we have made since then has been simply amazing. The actual water wheel, which was 18 feet in diameter by 6 feet wide, and weighing roughly 8 tons, has been hoisted off its bearings, and disassembled. We have placed an order to get new buckets manufactured, which we should receive about two months hence.
It is far too easy for those in Washington to forget just how brutal this economy is for working families back home. Every weekend when I travel around the 5th district, I hear stories of the struggles of those who are looking for work or trying to make ends meet in these tough times. It has become increasingly clear to me that the elites in the United States Senate have completely lost touch with the struggles and challenges of the people they represent.
This week House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer announced that, in fact, the House Democrats will not produce a federal budget resolution for fiscal year 2011. This marks the first time since the passage of the Budget Act of 1974 that the House of Representatives has failed to pass an initial budget, setting the spending priorities for the following fiscal year. What does this mean for American taxpayers?
Everyone knew that whoever won the 2008 presidential campaign would have to face tough issues and many a difficult choice inheriting the mess left by George W. Bush.
Newsweek and NBC reporter Howard Fineman has written that President Barack Obama is "hunkered down" these days in the White House, under siege from the weight of the troubles he's facing.
For the second time in its history, plans for Explore Park to become a multi-million dollar family vacation destination spot have fallen by the wayside.
At the Park's inception, the plan was for a $350 million Lewis and Clark-themed park with hotels, a zoo, retail and other attractions. The park would eventually take a different route, before falling on hard times in 2007. That's when the living history portion of the park shut down because of a lack of funds.
Empower and honor our Constitution
As we honor and empower our wounded warriors, constituents owe it to them to honor and empower our wounded constitution.
We should never assume that all elected officials are vigilant in empowering and honoring our constitution.
As it is the duty of soldiers to serve and protect our freedom, so it should be the duty of constituents to purge elected officials straying from the constitution for their own personal empowerment.
As I travel around our communities, I constantly hear from small business owners that the banks just will not lend, particularly the big banks that got bailed out. Even in these tough times, we know that two out of every three new jobs is created by a small or medium-sized business, and we know that this job growth is being limited by a lack of capital lending.

Jim Cirillo's Tales of the Stakeout Squad was written by Paul Kirchner and published by Paladin Press in 2008. It's the closest thing to a biography there is of one of the most famous law enforcement officers of the last 50 years.
Jim Cirillo is one of the few officers who was involved in 17 different shootouts — and he survived to tell the tale. Aside from putting down hardened criminals, he also contributed his immense experience to teaching others the firearms skills he developed throughout his career. He died tragically in a car accident in 2007.
The book starts with a short overview of Cirillo's life: from humble upbringing, marriage and children, his career on the force and also as a firearms instructor. This is a short chapter, setting the scene for what most people will want to read, the shootouts and other incidents Cirillo was involved in.
In the subsequent chapters, the author goes into great detail about Cirilo's work as a rookie cop and then how he joined the Stake Out Squad. Other chapters cover his time with the Emergency Service Unit, his life off-duty and his competitive record. The book ends with recollections of Cirillo by the people who knew him.
Throughout the book, the author frequently uses interviews with Cirillo, his family, friends and colleagues, which makes the words come to life and ring true. It also gives us a varied perspective of not only the shootouts Cirillo was involved in but also what he was like as a person.
The downside is that if you're looking for a detailed police report of these firefights, you'll be disappointed. But if you want to learn more about the life and times of Jim Cirillo, this book offers unique insights and information.
Jim Cirillo's Tales of the Stakeout Squad is a must-read for all law enforcement officers and self defense enthusiasts. It gives a no-nonsense account of what the job is like and what it means to take a life. Highly recommended!

Pharmacokinetics, sometimes described as what the body does to a drug, refers to the movement of drug into, through, and out of the body—the time course of its absorption, bioavailability, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.
Pharmacodynamics, described as what a drug does to the body, involves receptor binding, postreceptor effects, and chemical interactions. Drug pharmacokinetics determines the onset, duration, and intensity of a drug's effect. Formulas relating these processes summarize the pharmacokinetic behavior of most drugs (see Formulas Defining Basic Pharmacokinetic Parameters).

Pharmacokinetics of a drug depends on patient-related factors as well as on the drug's chemical properties. Some patient-related factors (eg, renal function, genetic makeup, sex, age) can be used to predict the pharmacokinetic parameters in populations. For example, the half-life of some drugs, especially those that require both metabolism and excretion, may be remarkably long in the elderly (see Figure: Comparison of pharmacokinetic outcomes for diazepam in a younger man (A) and an older man (B).). In fact, physiologic changes with aging affect many aspects of pharmacokinetics (see Pharmacokinetics in the Elderly and see Pharmacokinetics in Children).
Other factors are related to individual physiology. The effects of some individual factors (eg, renal failure, obesity, hepatic failure, dehydration) can be reasonably predicted, but other factors are idiosyncratic and thus have unpredictable effects. Because of individual differences, drug administration must be based on each patient's needs—traditionally, by empirically adjusting dosage until the therapeutic objective is met. This approach is frequently inadequate because it can delay optimal response or result in adverse effects.
Knowledge of pharmacokinetic principles helps prescribers adjust dosage more accurately and rapidly. Application of pharmacokinetic principles to individualize pharmacotherapy is termed therapeutic drug monitoring.

The Trumpet Sounds Again
April 1969 | Volume 20, Issue 3
∗ Washington had long been concerned about the inability of Congress to act for the common good. In March of 1785, because of his interest in a series of canals that would link the Potomac and Ohio rivers, a conference had been held at Mount Vernon between commissioners from Virginia and Maryland to decide the many complicated matters involved in the common use of the Potomac waters. In ratifying the commissioners' report, which called for delegates from Maryland and Virginia to meet annually, the Maryland legislature decided to invite Delaware and Pennsylvania to the next conference. At the same time, Virginia proposed a meeting of all the states "to consider how far a uniform system in their commercial regulations may be necessary to their common interest." This led to the Annapolis Convention.
But by far the most serious problems under the Confederation were monetary. Having no mints or stocks of rare metals of her own, America had always been dependent on foreign coins for hard money—"specie." At the end of the war there had been, as a result of the spending in America by the English and French armies, more specie available than at any other time in the history of the continent. However, there also existed a long-frustrated hunger for European goods. Specie flowed back across the ocean for luxuries; when money began to run out, American merchants bought on credit. The market became glutted, and bust followed boom. What specie did cross the ocean to America was instantly drawn abroad again to pay foreign debts. Practically no currency remained to serve the transaction of local business.
The shortage of money called the fiscal tune. It was particularly hard on debtors. Farmers in newly opened areas, who had borrowed to buy land and tools, often found it impossible, however hard they worked, to raise cash to meet their obligations. Taxes also became extremely difficult to pay. Honest as well as dishonest men lost their farms or were even jailed for debt. The natural reaction was a political protest, which often swung the pendulum too far the other way, wreaking as much injustice on creditors as the debtors had previously suffered.
The various state governments, dominated by directly elected legislatures, soon brought back into existence one of the curses of the War for Independence: paper money. By 1786, seven of the thirteen states had adopted some kind of paper currency.
Washington's strongest conviction in the realm of finance was a horror of paper money born of his Revolutionary experiences. During the war, inflation had made it impossible to supply the army, had bankrupted the officers, and had brought great wealth to speculators. Furthermore, Washington's own estate had grievously suffered, since many had paid off their debts to him with worthless paper while he had felt it dishonest and beneath his station similarly to take advantage of his own creditors. During April, 1786, Washington wrote: My opinion is that there is more wickedness than ignorance in the conduct of the States. … and until the curtain is withdrawn, and the private views and selfish principles upon which these men act, are exposed to public notice, I have litde hope of amendment without another convulsion.
The basic problem, so Washington and almost all his correspondents believed, was the irresponsibility of the state legislatures. They swayed like saplings to any breeze, and the prevailing wind seemed to be toward what the eighteenth century called "levelling"—taking away from the established and giving what was expropriated to the poor. Those who were being trampled on could not be expected to submit tamely. Thus the potential political fissure between conservatives and radicals, haves and have-nots, which Washington had spent so much of his energies during the war trying to keep closed, once more threatened to open wide. He had, as the war ended, stamped out a possible military insurrection of the right. Was the nation now endangered by a political insurrection of the left?
Washington and his friends believed that the best preventative of such a fissure and its possible consequence, a civil war, was a stronger federal government that would clip the wings of local demagogues, bring unity where there was chaos, and establish a solid economic base for the nation. The expedient nearest at hand was the convention at Annapolis called for September, 1786, to which all the states had been invited for a discussion of the improvement of commerce.
The Annapolis Convention presented no personal problems to Washington, since no effort was made to make him abandon his retirement and place his prestige behind the meeting as one of Virginia's delegates. He was indeed too powerful a trump card for the advocates of union to risk on so doubtful a venture.

We headed to Maui to kick off summer vacation. Gorgeous weather, so much swimming, a 5:30am beach walk because the kids were too excited to sleep, free volleyball finding, parrot holding kind of vacation. A shave ice, boat ride to the best snorkeling spots with sea turtles, cleaning up Holly barf in the car to get to remote bamboo forests and waterfalls kind of vacation. A burritos at sunset on the beach, night swimming at the resort splashing in moon pools, starlight "magic" (little blue glowing dots found in the sand at night) hunting on the beach that I remember from childhood, pineapple eating, mango picking, trespass hiking, blow hole watching kind of wonderful, beautiful Hawaiian vacation.
We stayed at the Westin (thanks to my generous Mother for allowing us to use her points) at Ka'anapali, and I 100% recommend it as one of the best places in Hawaii to stay with kids right on the beach. Safe waters steps from your hotel, beautiful beach, incredible pools/watersides. If you're visiting Maui, check out Aloha Mixed Plate for dinner, Ululani's for shave ice, and Ono Tacos togo for the perfect beach picnic. We also had a great and personal experience on our boat/snorkeling trip to Molokini with Sail Trilogy. Aloha!

"Starship Troopers" just might be Paul Verhoeven's masterpiece. The Dutch helmer has several films that might run close to that title — "Flesh & Blood," "Soldier Of Orange," "Black Book" and his Hollywood debut "Robocop." But it's his epic, slyly satirical adaptation of Robert A. Heinlein's sci-fi novel about the war on a bug-like alien race that we keep coming back to rewatch and rewatch, and feels like the culmination of everything he worked towards across his career. Which is why of all the remakes circulating out there, the one we're most puzzled by is "Starship Troopers."
After all, it's just under fifteen years since the release of Verhoeven's film, which is still on heavy rotation on TV, and the original was strong enough that we don't feel the need for a different take, and successful enough that it spawned a couple of direct-to-video sequels. But apparently that's not good enough for producer Neal Moritz and Toby Jaffe; already with one unnecessary Verhoeven remake in the can with "Total Recall", the men behind "xXx," "Stealth" and (to be fair) "21 Jump Street" announced last year that they were working on a new take on Heinlein's source material, penned by "X-Men First Class" writers Edward Miller and Zack Stenz.
And as part of an extensive and excellent feature on Verhoeven's sci-fi pictures in the new issue of Empire, Jaffe has spilled the beans on the approach for the "Starship Troopers" remake. Are they planning on bringing in someone like Bobcat Goldthwait for an even more remorselessly satirical take on the material?
Don't be ridiculous. In Jaffe's words, the plan is for a take that's closer to the right-wing militarism of Heinlein's books, rather than the sly subversion of the 1997 film. "Verhoeven took it from one extreme and made it almost comical, whereas our job, as I see it, is to be a little more faithful to the book, and ground it a little more. The novel is extremely widely read, even today; it's on school and university reading lists, and it's read at all the military academies in the United States. Verhoeven had an agenda that made his movie a critique of fascism, whereas I think Heinlein was writing from the perspective of someone who had served in World War II as an American soldier, and was writing it at the time of the Korean War. Y'know, one man's fascism is another man's patriotism…" Just to sum up again: One. Man's. Fascism. Is. Another. Man's. Patriotism.
And as for the hard R-rating, full of equal-opportunity nudity and grisly deaths, of the original? Nowhere to be found. "The more expensive a film is, the harder it is now to have it be that violent," Jaffe says. "It's about re-interpreting it with a very new sensibility for a new generation that doesn't really know the first film. It gives the studio, and us as producers, the opportunity to reintroduce it in a new way." And of course, there's another reason to remake it: more visual effects! "What Verhoeven was able to do with the bug army in 1997 was phenomenal at the time, but working in a visual-effects renaissance as we are, just logically we have the ability to do so much more now. We can do the Jump Suits, for example, which I don't think they could have done before," Jaffe told Empire, referring to the giant mech suits in which the heroes fight the bugs in Heinlein's novel.
So to sum up: less satire, less gore, more robots, more patriotism. We would call this the stupidest decision in Hollywood history, but this is an industry that didn't just develop a movie based on "Battleship," but also made it, released it, and were surprised when they lost nine figures on it. So, you know. We're not against another take on "Starship Troopers" in principle, and we're tentatively hopeful about next year's "Robocop" remake, which is assembling an interesting cast and has some decent behind-the-scenes-talent on board.
But it sounds like "Starship Troopers" is in exactly the wrong hands, and it doesn't just make us abandon all hope for that film, but also the same team's "Total Recall" remake. We'll find out it if that's capable of restoring our interest when it hits theaters on August 3rd, while "Starship Troopers" will, assuming all involved don't wake up and see the light, follow on in a few years. For more on Verhoeven's sci-fi movies, pick up the excellent new Empire, which is in stores now.

Most int's "can" be attributed to something else. Thats just NFL football. The point is that Eli was careless with the ball in 2010 AND showed a tendancy to get hyped up early in games. He had many throws in the first quarter that were high, especially short throws, which have a tendancy to be tipped in the air.
If there is any one factor that has changed with Eli its his general "calmness", which explains his avoiding those early, bad picks that he had in 2010. It also causes better pocket awareness where there used to be more panic amid a pass rush. Those dumb chucks into coverage in the face of a pass rush are far more rare with Eli. Which is EXACTLY what TC publicly complained about in his statement in Indianapolis in Feb. 2011.
You can chalk it up to more experience, more confidence, the fear of God with such a terrible 2010...or whatever. But its clear in his game.
The kid is just playing better and thats all there is to it. Lie to yourself if you must, but it doesn't change the truth.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
On the whole Eli thing, he's def stepped his game up as a QB. He seems to be way calmer in the pocket and a much more aware each season, its not just this year. Eli has been getting better each year since he got in the league, its just that in these past few he's taken the jump from Average to Good to GREAT QB
1st- OJ Howard, TE
2nd- Caleb Brantley, DT
3rd- Dorian Johnson, OG/RT
4th- Samaje Perine, RB
5th- Damontae Kazee, CB
6th- Ejuan Price, DE/OLB
7th- Tedric Thompson, FS
Come check the G-Fambulance and The Scarf Soldiers every home game in Lot L6, and like us on facebook and instagam 'NYG Scarf Soldiers'
Occam's razor favors me here I think Morehead.
What's the simpler solution?
Young inexperienced receivers improving after getting some experience?
or a 4 year veteran QB suddenly making massive improvements to his game?
I think we both know...logically, my theory makes more sense Morehead, plus statistics back my theory up as well, also it's plain to see if you've remained objective over the years (as I have unlike some Phil Simms fan boy :P)
I know, you know I'm right, but if you want to continue to "daven" me go ahead I'll play my own game, you have been getting good at it recently.
(let me pull a MMB)
1 Daven - 0 Morehead.

Fan boy is the perfect description of MH's passionate feelings about Simms. lol
Oderint Dum Metuant
It's too bad, I'm too good....
To me, the simplest solution is mine.
1. A QB coming off a bad season
2. A HC who states publicly that he needs to throw it away more and take more sacks.
3. Higher productivity with a worse O line and worse running game.
Simplest solution with all those conditions..... Eli has progressed like most good and determined players do and in this case become a great QB.
The least simple conclusion is to say that Eli's productivity increased as a product of better WR's when all other factors go against him like the play of the O line and the running game. Of course in the world of the Eli Cultist, Eli is always pure and good and its everyone else who drags him down.
Morehead: 22 (I don't know really. I've lost count)
Scrappy: 0
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
Eli threw the ball away in 2011 more than twice as many times as he did in 2010.
The view of the Cultist is of a skewed and twisted reality. A bazaar world where Eli is all knowing and wondrous.
For some reason, this false reality makes them feel a part of something that fills their empty lives.
Its sad......yet makes me love them all the more for their pathetic needs.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
and yet retained the same completion rating and took more sacks...yeah, I'm sure that's what happened lol.
I feel like Izbo, but I'm sorry you and Morehead are entitled to your own opinion I suppose...I just don't see any evidence to support it and everything you guys are saying is easily proven factually incorrect.
just from watching the games you can easily tell it's the receiving corps that's making the leap forward in ability...not Eli.
I don't know why you are so against our receivers becoming better...it doesn't make any sense.
I mean it doesn't matter to me "who" get's better...as long as the team as a whole gets better, I know why Morehead wants to say Eli got so much better....it's so he can explain that now he doesn't hate him like he used to becaue he's "better" now....I don't know why you (Lawl) are agreeing with him and twisting history though.

I took my son hunting in 12/211 this year because it only requires 6 points and had an similar experience regarding overcrowding. Trucks, wheelers, and people everywhere. A few years ago when we went with youth doe tags we barely saw anyone.
I'm not sure if they increased the tags that much or that area just got more popular but it was pretty crazy and since it's cut up by roads all over we had a hard time getting away from everyone. We got it done and he got a decent one but not what we were expecting.

Back in May 2010, free man (since '09) and former drug trafficker "Freeway" Ricky Ross filed a $10 million lawsuit against Rick Ross the rapper--whose real name is William Leonard Roberts II--over trademark claims that Rozay is making a profit from his name illegally. The pair apparently met in Miami court recently, and Freeway Rick said that the rapper "treated me as if I had done something to him." He went on to say the following:
When he [Roberts] first came to me, he didn't know what position I was going to take, if I was going to send a word out to those young cats out in L.A. or not. That put a little fear in his heart. But now that he knows I'm not carrying it like that, he's a little more courageous right now.
Freeway Rick previously said in 2010 that he was "thankful" the rapper didn't have to sell drugs to get where he is. "There's so many of us out here selling drugs and getting ourselves locked up at least he's in a position where all he does is rap about it." Can anybody figure how this case might turn out? Does it matter at all that Ross the rapper has strongly marketed himself as being 'rich off cocaine'? [Vibe]

Adventuring the night away
When Iowa State dance marathoners lace up their shoes for their big party in January every year, they don't just dance the night away. They dance the day away, too. In fact, when all is said and done, these students stand for 15 hours straight. But doesn't all that dancing make their feet hurt? Sure, a little. All that pain is forgotten, though, when they remember why they're dancing – to band together and raise money for children at the University of Iowa Children's Hospital.
Dance Marathon is one of the most popular student organizations at Iowa State. And for good reason. Not only do participants get to make an impact on children with life-threatening illnesses, they're able to have fun with other students who want to make a difference. "Dance Marathon invites dancers to step out of their comfort zones to meet new people, whether it's a person on your same dorm floor or one of our miracle kids. Plus, it's a lot of fun," said Jessica Pearce, dance marathon general co-director and senior in kinesiology and health.
Last year alone, 957 students participated in Dance Marathon, raising more than $327,000 for their cause. And chances are, like Pearce, these students have taken away a thing or two in their dancing adventure. "Dance Marathon has provided the push I need to stay on top of my schoolwork. I've learned how to prioritize my time, motivate people, and push myself to reach a higher standard," she said.
And if there's one thing Dance Marathon participants know, other than the importance of comfy shoes, it's that college is about more than just class. It's about furthering your interests outside of the classroom and meeting new people along the way. Who knows, by joining one of the 800 student clubs and organizations at Iowa State, you might even change as a person. Said Pearce, "The relationships I've built through my involvement with Dance Marathon have inspired me to become a greater version of myself."
And isn't that what college is all about?

TECHNOLOGY: Oracle ADF Consume Early, Consume OftenBy Frank Nimphius How to service-enable Oracle ADF Business Components application modules for consumption by SOA and Web services clients Forward-looking enterprises build applications on a distributed architecture that transparently brings together Web, SOA, collaboration, content, and social networking services for user access from multiple device types (mobile, laptop, and so on). The Oracle Application Development Framework Business Components (Oracle ADF Business Components) feature supports application development for distributed architectures, enabling developers to build business services with data persistence for Web applications and SOA by using a single development skill: the ability to develop with Oracle ADF. In my last column ("Service, Please!," Oracle Magazine, July/August 2012), I showed you how to consume and integrate remote services in an Oracle ADF Business Components application. In this column, I will show you how to expose Oracle ADF Business Components application modules as services for remote use with the primary consumers of such services: Java EE service clients, SOA components, and remote and local Oracle ADF Business Components application modules. Service-Enabled Oracle ADF Business Components ModulesCreating service-enabled components with Oracle ADF Business Components requires little programming—it's mostly a matter of configuration: you configure view objects, view criteria, and public methods defined on the application module for access from SOA components, Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS) clients, and remote Oracle ADF Business Components modules. Technically, as shown in Figure 1, Oracle ADF Business Components services are implemented as Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.0 session beans. When you expose an Oracle ADF Business Components application module as a service, Oracle JDeveloper generates all required Web service artifacts, including XML schema definitions (XSDs), Web Service Description Language (WSDL) files for service discovery, and Java classes for the application module and the exposed view objects.
SDO is the linchpin of this architecture, providing an interface to data from the service to various back-end datasources. In such an architecture, the Oracle ADF Business Components application module acts as a data access service that queries data from and persists changes to the datasource. The data bindings supported by SDO are EJB remote method invocation for service access from other Oracle ADF Business Components application modules, SOAP for JAX-WS service clients, and SOA bindings for component access in applications built based on the Service Component Architecture (SCA) standard. As you work through the example for this column, you'll use Oracle JDeveloper 11g Release 1 to generate the necessary SDO artifacts and to configure the completed service to fully implement this architecture and then see it in action with the sample Web client. Getting StartedTo follow the hands-on steps in this article, you'll need the Studio edition of Oracle JDeveloper 11g Release 1 (188.8.131.52), available as a free download on Oracle Technology Network. You'll also need an Oracle Database instance with an unlocked HR schema. Get started by downloading the sample application and unzipping the file. The file contains two folders:
To prepare for the steps in this article, change the database connection in the Service Model to point to your HR database schema:
As another preliminary task, start the Oracle WebLogic Server instance integrated with Oracle JDeveloper. You'll use the integrated Oracle WebLogic Server for service deployment and testing and for running the client Web application. To start Oracle WebLogic Server
Sample Application OverviewThe OraMagService workspace contains an Oracle ADF Business Components application that consists of a single Oracle ADF Business Components application module, AppModule. As you follow the instructions in this article, you'll be exposing two view object instances on the Oracle ADF Business Components service interface:
In addition, the application module implementation class (AppModuleImpl.java) provided in the sample contains two public methods:
As you work through the sample, you'll create the actual datatypes (generate the view object row classes, for example) that will support these operations. (Be sure to use any names for items provided in the instructions, because many of the prebuilt sample components rely on those names.) View objects that are exposed on the Oracle ADF Business Components service interface cannot have circular dependencies. The view objects in the sample workspace have been built with this requirement in mind. When creating your own view objects, be aware that the Create ADF Business Components from Tables wizard generates view links for every database constraint. For example, generating Oracle ADF Business Components objects for the Departments and Employees tables in the Oracle HR schema creates view links for the department-to-employees, employees-to-manager, and departments-to-manager relations. Because the Oracle ADF Business Components SDO service is based on a stateless EJB session bean, the employees-to-manager and departments-to-manager links would cause a circular dependency that would lead to an array out-of-bounds exception at runtime, because of the infinitive loop they represent. To avoid such a problem, if you use the wizard in your own development projects, be sure to delete any generated view links that would result in circular queries. Or—better yet—create view objects and view links manually, as has been done for this sample. Building the Oracle ADF Business Components SDO ServiceView object instances exposed on the Oracle ADF Business Components application module service interface are automatically service-enabled, which means that Oracle JDeveloper creates the SDO implementation classes and metadata files. For other view objects (such as the employees view row objects in this sample), you must explicitly service-enable the object, and you must do so before exposing any method that uses the object on the service interface. For this sample, you are going to expose a public method that returns employee rows, so first you must ensure that a view object implementation class exists, as follows:
Next you will configure the Oracle ADF Business Components service to filter the information of the Oracle ADF Business Components model that should be exposed on the service interface.
When you expose a view object on the service interface, its attributes become part of the rows returned by a query. You can exclude any attribute from being exposed on the service interface by deselecting its SDO Property option in the view object editor.
Deploy the ServiceThe Oracle ADF Business Components service is deployed as an Enterprise Archive (EAR) file to the target deployment server. For the purposes of this example, we'll use the integrated Oracle WebLogic Server to simulate remote deployment.
Next create the EAR file required for remote deployment.
After successful deployment, you can validate service access by opening a browser and entering the URL of the WSDL available on the Web server, as follows: http://localhost:7101/oramag-sample/OraMagService?wsdl The WSDL URL is derived from the Java EE path defined in the ServiceModel project properties (oramag-sample) and the Oracle ADF Business Components service name (OraMagService) you specified for the service-enabled application module; 7101 is the default port number for the integrated Oracle WebLogic Server. Testing the Deployed ServiceFor testing Web service deployments on a remote Oracle WebLogic Server instance, I typically recommend using the Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control feature (available through the Oracle Application Development Runtime Installer)—but for this sample application, you'll test the remote deployed Oracle ADF Business Components service with the Oracle JDeveloper HTTP Analyzer tool. To launch the HTTP Analyzer tool,
Recommendations for Service Project LayoutAn Oracle ADF Business Components application module can be used as a model for Web applications and—if the application module is service-enabled—for service clients. So in theory, you could build a single Oracle ADF Business Components application module and configure it for use with Web and service clients. However, not everything that is possible makes sense in practice, because
For these reasons, I recommend creating distinct Oracle ADF Business Components model projects for Web and service use. If you want to share view objects and entity objects among projects, create an appropriate Oracle ADF library and then reference the library from the Web or service project. (Note that you cannot create an Oracle ADF Business Components service module in a project that already contains a Java EE Web service.) Oracle ADF Business Components Service ClientsWith the configuration and deployment complete for the sample Oracle ADF Business Components service, you can now test the deployed service with an Oracle ADF Web application that uses an Oracle ADF Business Components business service for querying data from the deployed service. The Web application assumes that the deployed Oracle ADF Business Components service is available at http://localhost:7101/oramag-sample/OraMagService?wsdl.
The WsSdoDepartmentsView (in the oramag.sample.sepoct.client.model package) is based on the WsSdoDepartments entity, which has been configured to access the deployed Oracle ADF Business Components service for CRUD operators. Note that when you create a new entity object, you can specify that data should be obtained from a database schema object or from the service interface. To specify the service interface, you will need to provide the valid WSDL reference associated with a deployed Oracle ADF Business Components service, so that at runtime, the framework can create the entity object from an SDO object. Also note that you should be aware of these two important configurations:
When building your own Oracle ADF Business Components clients for a deployed Oracle ADF Business Components service interface, you'll configure these items yourself. See Oracle Fusion Middleware Fusion Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework for details. For the sample service and application, you have nothing further to do but run the application. To run the sample application
Explore the application, navigating through the data returned from the service and updating data as you see fit. ConclusionThis article showed you how to expose an Oracle ADF Business Components application module as a service for use with Web, service, and SOA clients. This approach demonstrates some of the chief benefits of using Oracle ADF Business Components, such as enabling developers to leverage a single development skill for SOA and Web development.

Baths and Wraps
Energy Wrap
- The stimulating and infusing wrap for devitalized skin. A warm recipe of bentonite clay, crushed grape extracts (seeds, pulp, stems) and grape-seed oil gives you and your body a burst of new energy when you feel exhausted, pressured or stressed out by city living. An uplifting phyto-aromatic cocktail revives the senses. This energizing treatment is a must to restore vitality and joie de vivre.
Merlot wrap
- The detoxifying and perfecting wrap for skin in need of intensive pore cleansing. A warm mixture of bentonite clay, five deep-cleansing essential oils and nourishing grape-seed oil envelopes the body in a sumptuous, soothing cocoon.

You skin feels wonderfully clean, refreshed and balanced, aglow with a deep sense of health and well-being.
Honey & wine wrap

It is known to help with digestive issues that can work in conjunction with Arthritis. I myself have been struggling with digestive issues and have found some positive effects from minimal use!Tumeric is know for its strong anti-inflammatory properties and also a strong antioxidant. Very minimal effort but between the two it's been awesome trying something new. Thanks again for anyone who's been interested!!Tomorrow I'll be posting videos on my Facebook some useful exercises for Arthritis sufferers. Cheers!!P.S.

Watched the evening game that Pleasanton played in. Perfect game pitched by Pleasanton pitcher. Went for the sheer enjoyment of seeing good young players playing for the love of the game. Looked in the local paper this morning and found "NOTHING" about the game. What a shame. I would encourage all to get out to enjoy a beautiful park, baseball field and see some really great kids from across the world.
