CBP Identifies Country of Origin of Microwave Radios
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has issued a final determination concerning the country of origin of certain microwave radios used for wireless point-to-point communications that may be offered to the U.S. government under an undesignated government procurement contract. CBP issues country of origin advisory rulings and final determinations as to whether an article is or would be a product of a designated country or instrumentality for the purposes of granting waivers of certain "Buy American" restrictions in U.S. law or practice for products offered for sale to the U.S. government. This determination was issued Sept. 13 and any party-at-interest may seek judicial review of it by Oct. 21.
The radios at issue are comprised of an indoor unit (IDU) and the transmitter-receiver unit chassis (TRX). The TRX and the modem are manufactured in Japan, and the main card (which provides the operation, administrative and maintenance functions of the radio), power supply unit, IDU chassis and fans are manufactured in India. The Indian components are assembled with the Japanese-origin modem to manufacture the IDU in India and the software is developed in India and Japan. All these components are then shipped to the U.S. for final assembly.
CBP concludes that the TRX imparts the essential character to the radios because it carries the microwave signal, which is the essence of a microwave radio. Further, other significant parts are produced in Japan and the assembly that occurs in the U.S. is rather simple. Accordingly, the finished radios are considered a product of Japan for purposes of U.S. government procurement.

Will docs get their CME credits on iPhone?
iPhone's chief benefit may be its computer-grade Web browser, something that "doesn't set any limits on the types of media that we can integrate," said Sandeep Shah, CEO, Skyscape.
It means any online text, image, video or audio content is accessible from preexisting online CME activities, said Steven Zatz, MD, EVP, professional services, WebMD. A Wi-Fi network in the office boosts surfing speed.
Customized medical reference content has arrived from Unbound Medicine, whose president and CEO, Bill Detmer, MD, said the iPhone, like other wireless devices, enables doctors and nurses to carry medical knowledge "wherever they roam." This phone offers a larger and higher-resolution screen to view it (see photo).
But Flash-enabled videos are not accessible, said Robert Stern, president/CEO, MedPage Today, which offers an iPhone page and plans to support Apple's video technology in the fall.
And while iPhone is impressive, it may not supplant the one device many young hospitalists carry, the Palm Treo, said Michael Elhert, MD, president, American Medical Students Association: "All the doctors I know, it's not about e-mail; it's about their drug programs, their treatment protocols…I'm not sure how the iPhone would be terribly unique."
While vendors appreciate the phone's wider creative potential, and its package of features is superior, adoption by the medical community will depend on other factors, including how well it provides it core voice functionality, said Shah.

Another from my box from LiberTEAS! I tend to be wary of peach teas since the flavor can come out very artificial, but I trust 52teas to blend up a juicy chai so I decided to make this today. I iced it the lazy way, aka let the cup sit out until it was cold enough to put ice in. I usually take chai hot but it felt like a peach version would be better cold. I tried a sip when it was still warm and I definitely prefer the iced version!
This is not overly peachy, but has a nice juice-like quality. It doesn't really feel like a chai to me though, more like a spiced peach drink. There are certain flavors that I associate with chai—particularly clove and ginger—that I am not picking up. They are listed in the ingredients, but I am really only getting up the cardamom. The white base isn't that strong either, so there's not really a stand-out flavor. It's good but too mild all-around for my taste: a pleasant enough cup, but perhaps too soft.

Judge Debra Nelson ruled Monday that George Zimmerman's attorneys will be able to present evidence about how Trayvon Martin may have been high on marijuana the night he was shot to death.
Martin's toxicology report indicates that THC, the active drug in marijuana, was in his blood at the time of his death on Feb. 26, 2012.
Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch captain, is charged with second-degree murder for killing 17-year-old Martin in Sanford, Florida. He told police that night that the teenager looked suspicious and that there had been several break-ins in the neighborhood. The two got into a physical altercation, and Zimmerman said he was forced to draw his gun and kill Martin.
Read for yourself : Martin's autopsy
Zimmerman's attorneys argued Monday that the report shows Martin's judgment may have been impaired the night of the shooting, and it may have affected his decision-making.
Prosecutors fought hard against the admissibility of Martin's THC levels accusing Zimmerman's attorneys of trying to get bad-character evidence in through the backdoor.
Judge Nelson told prosecutors they could cross-examine expert defense witness who testify about the effects of THC. Prosecutors can also call their own expert to contradict the defense's case during their rebuttal.
Watch: George Zimmerman puts on 100+ pounds
Zimmerman's drug use has also come up in the case. Ben Crump, Martin's family attorney, says Zimmerman should have been tested for drugs the night of the shooting. A fire and EMS report says Zimmerman was on the medications Librax and Temazepam at the time of the incident.
Read more: Why wasn't Zimmerman tested for drugs?
WebMD says Librax is a combination of two drugs, one that reduces stomach cramping and another drug that reduces anxiety. Temazepam, according to WebMD, is a sleep medication that is used for the short-term treatment for insomnia.
It is not clear if Zimmerman's drug use the night of the shooting will be admissible at trial.

Jackson and Cadet Pranks
Stonewall Jackson was the subject of many cadet pranks during his years Professor at VMI. His ungainly appearance, strictness, and lack of humor provided fuel for "much juvenile wit & merriment." Cadets delighted in drawing caricatures on the blackboard in Jackson's classroom--often a sketch depicting an officer with enormous feet (his exceptionally large shoe size inspired "Square Box," one of his several nicknames; others were "Old Jack," "Tom Fool," "Old Hickory"). Other incidents included throwing spitballs in class, making noises when his back was turned, dropping a brick as he passed underneath a barracks window, and pulling linchpins from cannon wheels during artillery drill.
The following excerpt from the 1853 VMI Court Martial Book documents one of many pranks:
Charge- Disrespectful conduct to superior officers.
Specification- In this, that he the said Cadet Thomas Blackburn having by the aid of one or more cadets, fastened cadet J. E. Towson of the Virginia Mil Institute to a chair by cords or straps, did place him when thus fastened on the stoop of the Cadet Barracks immediately in front of the door of the quarters occupied jointly by Major T. J. Jackson Prof. of Nat. Philosophy VMI and Lt. Thos. A. Harris Asst. Prof of Languages VMI, in such a manner that it was impossible for him the said Cadet Towson to extricate himself, and after placing him in this position did violently knock or caused to be knocked the door of the quarters...all of which was disrespectful conduct to his superior officers--this at the Va. Mil. Institute on or about the 23 day of Jany 1853.

Sailing to the Stars
by Sara F. Shacter
Hop aboard a ship and sail to another galaxy? It may one day be possible in a spaceship powered by solar sails.
To travel into deep space, we'll need to go far and fast. Fuel-powered rockets have taken us to the Moon and may take us to Mars, but there are two problems with fuel: it's heavy, which slows the spacecraft, and it runs out.
Enter solar sails. Thin as notebook paper and 1/3 of a mile wide, these mirrorlike panels capture the Sun's rays. Like raindrops hitting a leaf, particles of light hit the sails, pushing the spacecraft forward.
The force of light is gentle, giving solar sails a slow start. However, unlike rockets, which coast after a quick blast of fuel, solar sails are constantly pushed by particles of light. Over time, solar sails will zip faster than any rocket, traveling 3,000 miles—the distance from New York to Los Angeles—in under a minute. That's 10 times faster than the space shuttle. Beyond Jupiter, where the Sun's rays weaken, solar sails could be powered by microwave or laser beams from other spacecraft.
This fall, a test spacecraft powered by small solar sails will begin orbiting our planet. Around 2010, a solar-powered craft called the Interstellar Probe is scheduled to launch, the first mission planned beyond our solar system! And apart from science, some companies have shown a commercial interest in solar sails. One already plans to send customers' photos, messages, and DNA into interstellar space—for just $50. So get those "Dear Alien" letters ready.
- interstellar:
- Between or among the stars.
- microwave:
- An energy wave that is shorter than a radio wave and longer than a light wave. Microwaves are used in radar and in microwave ovens.
- What kind of energy is released when a rocket blasts off?
- What would happen if a rocket engine were used to power a solar sail?
- A solar sail is powered by sunlight. Do you think light energy could be used on Earth to move things? How are the conditions on Earth different than those in space? Write a sentence or two to explain why you think light energy could or could not be used to move things on Earth.

Grayson, my sweet,
You won't remember this night. The night you danced in your brown and white jungle print glow-in-the-dark jammies to Melissa Etheridge on YouTube singing "Give Peace a Chance," (Mommy missed C-Span's early evening coverage of the Democratic convention last night while she was driving home from work and had to catch up this evening).
In many ways, it is like so many other nights in your life. You had your bath. You ate some green beans and applesauce. You whined about the teeth which are poking their way through your bottom gum (for which we gave you ibuprofen), or the intestinal distress from eating too much cantelope (for which we gave you baby simethicone). You will have your bottle later. You will fall asleep clutching your cloth diaper. You will listen to one of your many lullaby CDs, which you will turn on by yourself because all hell breaks loose if you don't.
And, yet, the world is turning all around us and tonight will be a night, I suspect, that we will one day tell you about. Tonight Barack Obama will accept the Democratic presidential election on the night so many years ago when Martin Luther King gave an historic speech at the March on Washington. Tonight an African-American man will be nominated as president of the United States, a man with hope and vision and courage. Tonight our nation makes its own brilliant history, and while you don't know it, while you won't remember it, while the most important part of your universe consists of sisters who hang on your every syllable, two fat cats and a long skinny dog, this nation will be celebrating a milestone.
I hope that you live in a world where this simply doesn't matter, in a world where, as MLK said, "people aren't judged by the color of their skin," or where it simply is not noticed. I hope that you are racially color-blind as you grow and that the sweet toddler across the street with an African-American daddy and a white mommy is not seen as anyone different than you. I hope that one day people will be horrified that a world existed in which certain people had to sit in the back seats of buses, and certain people drank out of different water fountains. I hope that you will experience life as a minority at times, so you know that there is absolutely nothing which separates us from one another and it is hard to be seen as "the other." Mostly, I hope we are creating a new world for your generation.
Your mommy truly believes that a symbol of this new world rising happens tonight in Denver, Colorado.
I love you, and I want the world for you...and for your comrades as you grow to become the next hope for America.

Months 15/16
Dearest Boy-Boy,
Time has gotten away with your Mama. It's been a busy summer. There was your great-grandpa's death, and subsequent memorial service/family reunion time. There was the trip to visit Mamaw Amy and Aunt Lois and Uncle Vayden in Texas and subsequent long-ass car ride home. And then there were the in-between days in which you continued to morph from babyhood to boyhood right in front of our eyes.
Last night you took your first steps. Your very first solo steps. You walked, with hesitancy at first and then with triumph between Grandpa and me as we sat on the floor of the parlor. You started with two steps, and moved to three, and then four, and then five, and by the time Daddy and Brynn got home from Brynn's ballet lesson, you were confident enough to venture six and seven steps on your own, grinning and laughing all the while.
I delight in this new skill. And confess that I wept a few tears in the bathtub last night after putting you to bed. It's hard for me to say goodbye to my baby. And yet, I can't wait to see who you become. I suppose this is the eternal paradox of parenting. If we do our job right, you separate from us.
No offense, Gray, but sometimes cats are easier to parent.
And speaking of cats...(notice that nice transition? I was an English major, after all...) you have become the master of all things gentle in the cat world. You are a pro at petting gently, and walking gently toward Cooper and Moses, and gently and softly saying "Caaaa" as you head in their direction. I'm hoping that you'll become one of those little old men who wear their pants pulled up beyond their navels and collect cats in their old age always naming them after Old Testament prophets.
You delight me. Even as I say goodbye to my baby, I delight in the new chapter of Grayson the boy.
I love you more than the stars.

Blowin' this Popstand
...I originally thought I'd title this one, "Blowin' this Jo*int" (notice what I've learned about "coding" search words...I'm getting pretty computer savvy) but couldn't imagine all the intriguing ways that would be misconstrued in a search engine as people were trying to learn how to smoke marij*uana (see that added asterick thing again, pretty impressive, huh?). Hell, people still find my blog because of the creative way I spelled Ernest Ainsley (it's Angeley, friends, sorry for the screw up...).
We're getting out of Dodge, friends. Flying the coop. Running for the border. Vamoosing. Folding up shop.
The posse is headed down to Tex-ASS for a big 'ole family lovefest (as opposed to a love feast where we'd all wash one another's feet and grow Brethren beards). It's the annual Texas trip...the interminably long car trip whereby we remark on the different states on license plates which pass us on the road, and rate public restrooms with a ten point scale, and I assume my best Snooty-Titian-Colored-Haired-Sleuth voice for dramatic reading (that would be the annual Nancy Drew book we finish on the way there and back), followed by our arrival and welcome by the kindest, most generous kin-folk west of the Mississippi.
Look for possible remote postings...or not. Depends on how much time I spend chasing a toddler, or swimming in the pool, or having good scotch offered to me in liberal amounts, or delighting in the laughter of my step-daughters, or gazing at my beloved.
I desperately need this time. I'm worn out.
So, lest you feel bereft...I attached the latest pictures of the wee ones (one of whom is taller than me, now). Grayson is celebrating his upcoming getaway with chocolate...as the picture may demonstrate.
Don't leave the light on for us...

Yesterday saw two big withdrawals of gold bullion from the Comex warehouses.
62,050 ounces came out of HSBC and 16,556 ounces left Scotia Mocatta, both out of eligible storage.
But never fear, JPM came to the rescue with a whopping deposit of 192,900 ounce of gold bullion into eligible storage. I wonder where that came from. Wink wink, nod nod.
I just want to be able to watch the next leg up in the gold market, if and when it comes. It could be impressive, and put some serious pressure on bullion supply.
Michael Kosares has a new piece out titled China's London-Zurich-Hong Kong gold conduit — a major financial coup d'état.
Gold and silver were both capped today, chopping sideways after the big pop from yesterday.
As a reminder the government will be releasing the September Non-Farm Payrolls Report on Tuesday. Antics are customary.
Try to keep a clear head as others tend to lose theirs, overwhelmed by the phantoms of their imagination. I get tired of reading about the imminent collapse of nearly everything as we know it. I cannot help but note how many 'legends' are seeing imminent dangers growing more terrifying nearly every day.
I suspect that this excess of nervous energy is the result of not having enough to do. Spending too much time listening to financial opinions and to the uber-wealthy whining about nothing in particular can be nerve wracking. But that is financial television.
Having a sick dog helps one to maintain a well-grounded perspective. Young children are an effective sink for excess energy as well. Grandchildren work, but it is a bit of a cheat because at the end of the day you get to send them home, at least most of the time.
It appears our shitzu has contracted Lyme disease, which is quite common in this area amongst the canine class. She is so naturally lazy that it was hard to tell at first. I have been serving as her caregiver, as well as for she-who-must-be-obeyed, and loved beyond all others. Tomorrow she gets her comeuppance in a trip to the vet, which will confirm her illness and a shot of antibiotics in the rump. The shitzu that is, not my dearly beloved. She is in for her own set of treatments again on Monday.
Have a pleasant weekend.

Professor of Nanotechnology appointed at Victoria
29 May 2007
Professor of Nanotechnology appointed at Victoria
Victoria University scientist Dr Pablo Etchegoin has been appointed as its first Professor of Nanotechnology.
Dr Etchegoin, who is currently an Associate Professor in the School of Chemical & Physical Sciences and a Principal Investigator in the MacDiarmid institute for Advanced Materials & Nanotechnology, will take up his new position on 1 July. He has been appointed after the position was internationally advertised.
Nanotechnology is a field of science and technology that investigates the use of particles and structures in the nanometer size range (one nanometer is a thousand of a micron) and their possible applied use in areas such as industry and medicine.
Pro Vice-Chancellor and Dean of Science, Professor David Bibby, said Dr Etchegoin was an outstanding candidate.
"Pablo's research within the School and the MacDiarmid Institute is of an international standing. Last year a team he led published ground-breaking research that provided the most conclusive experimental proof available on the detection of single molecules using laser spectroscopy. He also picked up a three-year Marsden Fund grant worth $735,000 to carry out further research in this area."
Professor Bibby said Dr Etchegoin's appointment was a strategic initiative.
"Through hosting the MacDiarmid Institute, a Government-funded Centre of Research Excellence, Victoria has built on its reputation as a focus for nanotechnology. The University has decided that if Victoria is to maintain and enhance its strength in the physical sciences, and in nanotechnology in particular, such an investment was essential."
Dr Etchegoin, who joined Victoria in 2003, holds an MSc from Balseiro Institute in Argentina and a PhD from the University of Stuttgart in Germany.
His research interests include the study of optical methods for the detection of small quantities of molecules and the study of single molecules by laser spectroscopy. A particular interest is in the use of Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) in its various implementations with a view towards applications in a biological context.
Dr Etchegoin has strong research links with Imperial College in London with both the Physics Department (Blackett Laboratory) and the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, as well as with the National Physical Laboratory in Britain.

Report: Dean McDermott denies allegations of being a deadbeat dad
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) -- Dean McDermott admitted to DailyMailTV that he is behind on alimony payments but he also believes his ex-wife Mary Jo is trying to get revenge on him.
"I have taken this for years and this is the first time I've talked to anybody but I've had it," McDermott told the show. "This is a woman who is trying to exact revenge. She's constantly in the press, calling me a deadbeat dad and saying these charges are for delinquent child support. They are not."
McDermott also said that he has always supported his son and that he's tired of all the constant criticism that comes his way.
"I got behind on it but I will pay. I told her upfront I was having a hard time financially. I reached out to Mary Jo to discuss it and work it out. Instead of being a normal human being and working it out with me, she went to courts and put me on notice," McDermott said.
Mary Jo filed a court order against McDermott for contempt because he owes $100,000.
The actor continued, "I'm tired of being the whipping boy and for her to get away with this. It's been almost 13 years, can we move on?"

Our first television set was a 12-inch Emerson console and my Saturday mornings were total emersion in television and the B-westerns the box offered. If only I put my mind to schoolwork like I did on those westerns I would now be a Nobel Laureate . . . at least.
I knew every cowboy, most of their horses by name, and the thing that made them unique. Now-days that would be called the 'hook'.
Tom Mix and his horse Tony fought evil wherever it was, the Cisco Kid and Diablo, aided by his dimwitted sidekick Poncho, fought the ruthless establishment. Lash Larue was handy with the whip – Tim McCoy, the white ten-gallon hat and extraordinary peripheral vision –Buck Jones with the fastest draw and fastest horse in the west - Johnny MacBrown and Rebel – Hopalong Cassidy and his horse Topper. Of course, the Lone Ranger (Silver) had Tonto (Scout) and he even introduced his nephew, name escapes me, with his horse Victor. Ken Maynard and Tarzan. Ken Maynard, I remember, as the original 'singin' cowboy, but Tex Ritter was also an early crooner. His pardner rode a white horse with a black circle around one eye. Gene Autry and Champion. Gene was also a singin' cowboy but I always considered him kind of a sissy. He worked too hard on his wardrobe. Even Champion had excessive hardware. The saddle had sparkly studs as did the saddlebags and leather V-strap that went across his chest. The stirrups had flowing leather, also with sparkly studs.
Then there was my all time favorite who I love to this day . . . Roy Rogers and Trigger. Roy had more than one sidekick, but I'm most familiar with Gabby Hayes, and later on, Andy Devine. I was appalled when I heard he had Trigger stuffed.
The most talented horse in the west came from a stud owned by a rancher/breeder . . . are you ready for this . . . played by Gabby Hayes. Gabby had a stallion the bad guys wanted badly, a real champion. Well, Roy owned a mare that was pretty exceptional in her own rite. Gabby's stallion broke free after Roy was turned down on his offer to purchase the horse from Gabby. Of course, Roy returned the escapee but was suspect and arrested for horse thievery. During the escapade, Gabby's horse got together with Roy's mare and a foal was produced—Trigger. After some pretty intense scenes between Roy and Gabby they found mutual respect and Roy was allowed to keep the foal. Fortuitous? Absolutely, no one could have planned that.

Love Notes From Our Brides
I had the most wonderful experience at Magnolia Bridal. It was such an intimate setting and a lovely shop in general. My biggest concern was that I loved all of the dresses and it was tough to decide! Ashley was fabulous in walking me through all of the options. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish and I can't wait to wear my dream dress! Strongly suggest this store for anyone looking for their wedding dress - you will not be disappointed!
-Mallory T.
I am so thankful I came to Magnolia Bridal to find my perfect wedding dress. I am not one to get choked up or teary eyed about a bridal dress, but Ashley had me leaving in happy tears. From my initial phone call setting up the appointment, she knew exactly the style of dress that I was looking for. She definitely knows what works for the bride! You will not be disappointed after going here!

May 30, 2011
Zombies are everywhere nowadays, chomping their way through your friends, neighbors, pets and loved ones. You've killed them with shotguns, bombs, typing, and physics, but now it's time to really stick it to the undead – now it's time to kill them with math.
Maths Of The Dead is a quirky little title that casts you in the role of a super intelligent monkey. You're placed behind a keyboard and zombies of various different shapes and sizes are shambling towards you, intent on feasting on your succulent monkey flesh. Each of the zombies has a simple equation above their head; type in the right answer and the zombie falls down re-dead.
It's a simple premise, borrowed slightly from Sega's re-imagining of their House of The Dead series of games as a typing tool. The zombies here are cutesy and non-threatening and the monkey is delightfully deranged. The music is frivolous, the sound effects hilarious and the whole package just screams "funâ€.
The typing interface is a little unwieldy, and sometimes you can find yourself accidentally typing in huge strings of numbers when you keep getting things wrong, but other than that, there are no huge problems with the game itself. The difficulty could do with a bit of tweaking, and a few more sums could do to be thrown into the mix, but these are minor complaints; this is a loveable bundle of simian versus zombie fun, and who can't enjoy that?
Maths Of The Dead is one of those rare games that actually makes learning fun. Zombies may be omnipresent nowadays, but it's nice to see someone trying something a little different with them, even if that something different is just a riff on another game. It's hard not to play Maths of The Dead with a smile on your face, even when things get tough – it's a well built, hugely enjoyable little title that proves you don't need flashy graphics and sky high production values to make a good game.

Please check with me before booking your ferry ticket .
During the day, we will be explore the Fort and it's amazing architecture, beautiful crystal clear waters, wildlife and much more.

Each Night we will shoot sunset and get ready for another night filled with the zodiac light, milky way, and thousands of stars! Feel free
We will be self sufficient the ENTIRE time on the island, with camera gear, food, water, etc. An entire camping list, photo gear list, packing tips, maps and all specifics will be sent out to all participants. If you don't like the beach, camping, or incredibly dark skies, this probably isn't the right workshop for you.

If you do not own a tent, I will supply a tent for you to sleep in.
My experiences at Fort Jefferson have been amazing. Matter of fact, I have never seen a mosquito there in my days camping. I have seen some nice hermit crabs, but they never both anyone. The website talks of a rat problem, but again I never saw one there during my 4 day stay. Mosquitos like standing water, you will not find that here at Fort Jefferson since you are completely surrounded by ocean a constant breeze blows away any insect that may be around.

QPR complete loan deal for Vargas
QPR have completed the signing of striker Eduardo Vargas on a season-long loan from Napoli.
The Chile international moved to Napoli from Universidad in 2011, but failed to hold down a regular starting spot while in Italy.
After a loan spell at Brazilian outfit Gremio in 2013, Vargas made a temporary switch to Valencia for the second half of last season, scoring five times in 25 appearances in all competition.
Vargas featured for Chile at the World Cup, scoring once in four matches as Jorge Sampaoli's side bowed out in the last 16 after a penalty-shootout defeat to hosts Brazil.
QPR confirmed on Thursday that the 24-year-old has joined until the end of 2014-15, with manager Harry Redknapp eulogising over the player's all-round qualities.
"Eduardo is a quality player," he said.
"He's sharp, he's bright, and he's very lively on and off the ball.
"He can play as a number nine, he can play in behind, he can play wide, he's very versatile.
"I really liked the look of him during the World Cup and he's a player our scouts have been looking at for some time.
"He's been on our radar for a long time now and we've had reports on him, from our scout over there, for a while.
"We've had him watched a lot, over the last year or so, and the feedback has been very positive."
QPR started life back in the Premier League with a 1-0 defeat at home to Hull City on Saturday, and Vargas is hopeful he can help keep the side in the top flight.
"I have come here to do as much as I can for QPR in the Premier League," he said.

nudity reviews for Skylar Astin member submitted
Total babe
Skylar and his costar are stripped, tortured, and forced to make out by a demented sorority. He spends a good portion of the movie wearing only a sock to cover his manhood.
First off, let me say Skylar is a total dreamboat. Beautiful dark eyes, black hair, and a fit little body. You get his close ups of his fit, but still fairly plump ass. At one point he gets paddled, and grabs his cute buns in pain! He doesn't have a lot of body hair, and his pubes seem fairly tame. There's a naked fight scene but it's shot too far out to get a good luck of anything. Highly recommended scene for the excessive nudity and embarrassment factor!

Revised Real-time Multivariate MJO Index
This page updates the revised Real-time Multivariate Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) index (RMM-r; Liu et al. 2016) every day for research purpose.
About RMM and RMM-r
The Real-time Multivariate MJO index (RMM; Wheeler and Hendon 2004) is composed of the first two principal components of a covariance matrix that combines the daily anomalies of OLR, zonal winds at 850 hPa and 200 hPa (U850 and U200). These anomalies exclude the climatology represented by the long-term mean and the frist three harmonics of the annual cycle, trends and variations at longer than interannual time scales represented by a 120-day retrospective mean, and some synoptic perturbations as the average between 15oS and 15oN. Each field is then normalized by its globally averaged standard deviation (STD) for an even contribution to the RMM. The three STD values are approximately 15.3 W m-2, 1.8 m s-1, and 4.9 m s-1, which over scales the OLR with a substantial power leakage at zonal wavenumbers 2-5.
By using the three STD values of 2 W m-2, 1 m s-1, and 1 m s-1 for normalization, the RMM-r restores most of the leaked power with slight change at other MJO bands.
The RMM is updated by the Bureau of Meteorology, Australia. Dynamical model MJO forecasts are provided by the Climate Prediction Center, National Weather Service, USA.
RMM-r Time Series (Data Download)
The RMM1 and RMM2 are based on the OLR from NOAA and the U850 and U200 from the NCEP-NCAR Reanalysis Project. Winds for yesterday are from the Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS) of NOAA. Shown below is the RMM amplitude ( √ RMM12 + RMM22 ) during recent 60 days. The time series in text format from 1 January 1979 to can be downloaded here.
RMM-r Phase Diagram
Points consecutively outside the unit circle record the evolution of a possible MJO event during recent 30 days.
Hovmöller Diagrams of RMM-r Anomalies
The anomalies of OLR, U850, and U200 are reconstructed from the RMM-r modes and their Hovmöller diagrams indicate the evolution of a possible MJO event. Negative (positive) anomalies are the shadings in cold (warm) colors, and zeros are the contours in thick gray. Negative (positive) anomalies in OLR correspond to enhanced (suppressed) convection compared to normal state (climatology described in the 1st part above).

I'm a photography enthusiast who started about two decades ago on Canon AE-1 film camera. Slowly the convenience of digital technology won me over, beginning with the Canon EOS 400D then off to a more serious gear, the 7D before I decided to go full frame with the 6D and now the 5DMIV.
Photography is a therapy for me. It enables me to share what's good and what's right with our otherwise chaotic world, and reminds me to be on the lookout for what's scenic or worthy of framing regardless of where I go.
Since I joined PBase more than five years ago, I have been contacted several times by people who are interested in my photos. Some would like the photos included in their published work, while others offered to purchase for their personal purposes. Whatever makes you visit and browse, feel free to ping or message me, if you come across anything that fancies you. Or even if you're just curious about any particular photo's locations, settings, etc.
Happy viewing!

An audit that criticized Clark County's methods for inspecting high-rise buildings and handling complaints about slipshod work, prompted fire officials to call a meeting Thursday with their inspectors to boost morale.
A New York consultant, hired by the county, interviewed 13 of the county's 38 inspectors for research. As a result, many inspectors only learned of the audit when the findings were reported in Thursday's Review-Journal, Fire Chief Steve Smith said.
Smith said he wanted to assure them that the report mainly bashed building inspectors.
"We thought we should show our support for them," Smith said after the meeting at a county development services building in Las Vegas.
A couple dozen employees attended. As they filed out of the room, they refused to talk to a reporter, saying county policy forbids them from doing so without special permission.
Smith said he gave them no orders to snub the media.
In the report, an anonymous worker said certain county commissioners pressured fire inspectors into cutting corners on life-safety checks.
Smith said his inspectors had never told him of a government leader or resort head who tried to influence them. He said he encouraged them to tell their supervisors of any attempt to discourage them from doing a proper inspection.
The Fire Department, he said, asked to participate in the audit, which was aimed at the building department. That way, problems could be identified, he said.
Perhaps the biggest flaw in the Fire Department's system is that its computers aren't linked to the building department's, creating snags in how complaints are relayed between the two, Smith said.
With the slowdown in residential growth, the building department diverted 14 jobs to the Fire Department, Deputy Fire Chief Girard Page said. Workers who inspect sites and peruse building plans will fill nine of those slots.
"We've had unprecedented growth," Page said. "Keeping up with that isn't easy."

The city's gargantuan smouldering garbage mountain at Pirana is turning into a favourite spot for the illegal dumping of toxic chemicals, which could even be life-threatening if they burn. Apart from the 4,000 tonnes of domestic garbage that goes into the dump every day, industrial units from nearby are dumping various industrial oils and sacks containing dried industrial salt at the southern part of the garbage mound.

A newlywed couple had a royal wedding of their very own Friday when the Queen made an unexpected appearance at their Manchester ceremony, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Joined by Prince Philip, the Queen met John and Frances Canning who had reserved the Manchester Town Hall well before the royal visit was announced, notes the BBC.
"It was surreal, I couldn't believe it," bride Frances Canning told the Sun.
"The Queen spoke to us by our first names. She said I looked lovely and she wanted to wish us all the best for the future," she said.
But the visit wasn't unprompted, explains the Manchester Evening News. After learning the Queen would be in Manchester as part of her Diamond Jubilee--honoring 60 years as Britain's monarch--the groom wrote a letter to Buckingham Palace inviting her to attend the wedding.
Though she politely declined the invitation, it was secretly arranged for the Queen to meet with the bride and groom to avoid spoiling the couple's day.
To top it off, the royals even stuck around for photos after giving a royal blessing to the couple.

One of the things that has surprised me about the steps involved in getting published is how angst-ridden the whole process is. Waiting for responses to query letters is anxiety-provoking and often heart-breaking. I think we all imagine that if we can only find an agent, our troubles will be over. But in some ways, it marks the beginning of another nail-biting journey.
Once you have an agent, they have to sell your book. The submissions process to publishing houses and editors has its own set of roller-coaster emotions.
I was lucky: my agents rarely passed on the editorial feedback they received unless it was good. But in my AW discussion groups (Next Circle of Hell and less frequently these days, Rejection and Dejection), lots of aspiring authors get their hearts broken anew every time their book is turned down at that next level.
It doesn't seem to matter how far they get up the ladder either. There is excitement at being represented by an agent, then anxiety over the submissions process to publishing houses. Anxiety at the inevitable delays in getting feedback, excitement at finding out a commissioning editor loves the book, despair at discovering she can't persuade her colleagues to jump on board. The fact that the manuscript had made into the inner sanctum of book publishing holds little solace when the book is turned down.
It doesn't seem to matter what reason is given; each author I know takes it personally.
If the book is picked up and published, a whole new round of nerves takes over from the initial euphoria. In these tough days of publishing, a book has to hold its own. I know authors who check their weekly sales at Chapters Indigo, monitoring the quantity held in bookstores across the country week-to-week. I probably would, too, if I had time. Instead, I am addicted to that algorithymic mystery known as Amazon rankings.
Unless one is lucky enough to hit the rarified atmosphere that accompanies a bestseller, there is always the nagging fear that the book is going to disappear like a stone cast in the water.
And then there are the reviews. Talk about angst-provoking!
Some authors claim they don't read theirs: I don't believe it.
The reason we go through all of this is because we want, hope, need, to be read. What readers think of our work, whether they are professionals or otherwise, is our raison d'être.
But the idea that some readers may not actually like our work doesn't seem to really occur to us until we discover negative reviews. The whole process of being published exposes insecurities we thought we'd outgrown as adults. Bad reviews are like the chatter behind our backs, the friends we thought liked us but who turned against us.
Having survived all of these emotions more or less intact, I've have discovered a whole new level of writer's angst– I have no idea what to write about next. I don't know if there will be a fourth book in the Inspector Ramirez series, but if there is, I have to sit down and write it at some point, and I'm lacking a plot.
It's not a block, exactly. I've written three books and a 10,000 word short story since Easter, 2009. I have characters I really like: I'm just a little tired of hanging out with them . Will our friendships continue if I take a break from them for a while? Will they still be there, waiting, when I'm ready to start again?
It's all so nerve-wracking.

McCabe Next On List?
The Toronto Sun is reporting that after the Leafs have signed defenseman Tomas Kaberle to a 5-year, 21.25 million dollar deal, one defenseman is on the Ferguson's mind right now and that is Bryan McCabe.
"We have had preliminary talks with the Leafs and agreed to resume them at a later date," McCabe's agent, Jeff Solomon, told the Sun. "That in itself shows the team has interest."
Leafs GM John Ferguson Jr. would like to re-sign
Bryan McCabe before the season is over.
"They both continue to demonstrate their worth to this club on and off the ice and we've got a plan in place that includes them both," Ferguson told the paper. "Without getting into any specifics on any particular negotiations, Bryan continues to demonstrate his contribution to our club."
McCabe is on pace for 79 points, and is earning 3.498 million dollars.
"I love it here," McCabe said. "I've had success here. The contract will take care of itself."
5 Responses to McCabe Next On List?
Well hopefully they won't sign McCabe for more than 5 million and not for more than 2 or 3 years. anyways – here are some interesting points from the globe and mail's Shoalts(http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20051102.wshoaltsblog1102a/BNStory/Sports/home):
"At 30, McCabe is three years older than Kaberle and is currently the Leafs' leading scorer, which gives him a leg up on Kaberle in the salary department. McCabe is making $3.458-million this season and could cost Ferguson about $5-million a year in a new contract."
"At present, Ferguson is on the hook for about $16.8-million to seven players: Mats Sundin, Kaberle, Darcy Tucker, Tie Domi, Jeff O'Neill, Mikael Tellqvist and Alexander Steen. He will also be charged something, probably between $1-million and $2-million by the league when he almost certainly buys out the last year of goaltender Ed Belfour's contract. If the salary cap goes to $43-million next season, as expected, the Leafs will have between $24-million and $25-million to spend on free agents or players acquired in trades. But they must also sign younger players like Matt Stajan, Kyle Wellwood, Alexei Ponikarovsky, Carlo Colaiacovo and maybe even Nik Antropov out of that. None of them will be overly expensive, though."
"This is assuming Ferguson does not acquire anyone expensive at the Mar. 9 trading deadline. He is looking for an experienced defenceman and a winger who can play with Sundin. Neither of those commodities will be found in the bargain bin. Aside from Jason Allison, the other veteran Ferguson is shopping around is Domi. He has already been offered to the Phoenix Coyotes, who have demurred so far. Ferguson will also have to make a decision on Allison and Eric Lindros for next season. At this point, it does not look like either player will be offered a contract, but a strong finish by Lindros, if he can recover from that torn wrist ligament in time, might change things."
Hmmm. Well I find it interesting that Ferguson has actually been trying to trade Domi and it gives me hope that he's smarter than he seems. but Domi isn't going anywhere. I am surprised that Shoalts is so down on Allison but, like I've said all along, JFJ is going to have to make a decision on signing ONE of Lindros and Allison – and trading Allison for a decent defenceman now would make that choice a lot easier. Also, getting a young Centre like Arnason who – along with Wellwood – might also make parting with Lindros and Allison that much easier. I have a good feeling about Lindros IF he comes back and I think he will have a strong finish. but there are always too many questions surrounding the guy and his health.
"Despite the Leafs recent upswing, which has seen them actually win a couple of games in their last four, this team is going to be fighting for the last couple of playoff spots in the Eastern Conference at best. The most likely playoff outcome is an exit in the first round. There will be the usual bleatings from the fans to get someone right now for the run to the Stanley Cup. But why should Ferguson trade away his youth for, at best, a veteran who might, might, extend the Leafs' survival this spring by one playoff round?"
"In the next few weeks before the March 9 trading deadline, the market for defencemen, always a tough one, will get even more frenzied. Those few GMs with decent commodities will see their offers rise in quality as those who are lucky enough to be one player away from a serious run at the Cup try to outbid everyone else. […] Better that Ferguson should sit back and, as we seem to say almost weekly, look to next season."
"The play of his three rookie defencemen also argues against a trade. Jay Harrison, Andy Wozniewski and Staffan Kronwall have all filled in admirably for the injured Aki Berg, Ken Klee, Alexander Khavanov and their fellow rookie Carlo Colaiacovo. Let them get all of the experience they need and then, over the summer, get Bryan McCabe and Tomas Kaberle re-signed, add the right veteran or two through a trade or free-agency and reap the rewards next season when the entire roster should be strong enough to be a Cup contender."
"One sign the Leafs are a middling team at best is found in their scoring race. McCabe sits on top with 50 points in 45 games. It is rarely a good thing to have a defenceman lead your team in scoring. It is especially so in a league that dedicated itself to high-scoring hockey with new rules and a new standard of officiating. Yes, Mats Sundin missed a good portion of the season with a serious injury. But his 39 points in 42 games represents .928 points per game. Centre Jason Allison, who sits second in scoring with 46 points in 50 games, is producing .920 points per game. McCabe is cruising along at 1.1 points per game. Sundin and Allison have to pull ahead of him if the Leafs are to have any post-season success."
I totally agree with Shoalts statement about NOT TRADING AWAY THE YOUTH for a run at the playoffs this year. that would be the dumbest thing JFJ could do.
Shoalts comments about the frenzy of other GMs going after a defenceman might have some implications for the Leafs' own D – guys like Klee and Berg – who would make good depth additions for other teams (especially the former). I think Shoalts doesn't go far enough with the young rookies on Defence, let them play – yes, but let them REPLACE Berg and Khavanov and Klee and maybe trade for or sign ONE other defenceman.
I disagree with Shoalts comments about the Leafs' offence. he is obviously ignoring the fact that if Sundin wasn't injured, he would be leading the leafs in scoring but i do agree that Sundin and Allison need to get above the point-a-game clip for the leafs to have a shot at the playoffs (among other things). But when you take a step back and look at the Leafs offence (not their forwards' defensive play but their scoring), the Leafs have tremendous depth – right up there with the Ottawas and Carolinas and Colorados.
they have 4 guys with 40 or more points, 2 high scoring D-guys, Darcy Tucker leading in goals but fifth in scoring, Lindros is injured and when he comes back he adds to the offense. they also have 2 rookies with 30+ points, 8 guys with 30 or more points, 11 guys with 20 or more points (including Chad Kilger!!!), they have the best PK offense in the league right up there with Ottawa (Stajan, McCabe, Sundin, Poni), they have one of the best PP's in the game, they have 9 guys with double-digits in goals, and 4 guys with 30 or more assists.
so yeah, the Leafs' offense isn't the problem. its their strength. what is their problem?
– overall defensive play/defensive coverage
– that fire is gone – what happened to all those great 3rd period comebacks from previous years?
– they suck at shootouts
– take dumb penalties – many due to lack of speed
– play Belfour too much, play Telly too little
– no quality wingers for Sundin
– have too many coasters on the team (O'Neill, Domi, Czerkawski, etc.)
all i have to say re-sign mccabe
Re: McCabe Next On List?…
No, McCabe is getting resigned… JFJ said himself he is making a plan for them both, Why would anyone start this topic..

Locker room
Clara Sheller was a French show which ran in 2005 and again (with different actors in the lead roles) in 2008. The show was about the complex relationship between Clara (the title character) and her best friend, the gay JP. In an early episode, JP has to befriend his boss's son, played by Ruben. Ruben is tall and has unkempt brown hair and a very lean, smooth body. After a game with rackets, they go to the locker room and Ruben begins taking off his clothes, showing JP a tattoo. During this process his slim buttocks jiggle in a somewhat pleasing manner several times.

The Real Housewives of New York Might Just Start From Scratch
The whole cast may be replaced.
At long last, Bravo may fire the entire Real Housewives of New York City ensemble and recast the series with all new women, according to Sunday's New York Post. "They want rich, rich women, dripping in glamour and $10 million penthouses," the paper reports. Years from now, the scholars will debate: When did Real Housewives of New York jump the shark? Was it when Bethenny left the show? Was it when Sonja ran around her own cocktail party sans pants? Did it jump the shark? We're still watching, with relative fascination. (It can be hard to look away sometimes.) But the Countess divorced the Count, The Single One is now a married millionaire, and Jill Zarin ... well, she's still Jill Zarin, but she can't do this forever. Wethinks Bravo may have pushed this cast to its drunken, bankrupt, logical conclusion. Bring on the next round. [Page Six/NYP]

Prayers and Voices for Syria Make a Difference
As the Syrian civil war and refugee crisis rages on, CRS staff Caroline Brennan recently visited the region to learn more about the Church's ongoing efforts to help Syrian refugees. Her story highlights the ongoing struggles many refugee families face, and their desire to return home once it's safe.
Thanks to you, hundreds of letters calling for a peaceful and political solution to end the conflict in Syria were delivered to Congress over the past few weeks. Your continued prayers and letters are still needed. Consider connecting your friends, family and parish community with the latest news and resources to expand the prayer and action circle for our brothers and sisters fleeing the violence in Syria.
Your voice and prayers do make a difference! Thank you for all you do to pursue peace and justice for all of our brothers and sisters.
