NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- BP is becoming increasingly stringent with its demands for documentation from victims filing claims for lost wages and income in the Gulf region.
Immediately following the spill, many initial payments were distributed in uniform amounts with minimum documentation based on estimates. Now, BP will make payments based on each claimants' documented losses.
As a result of the tightened standards, some claimants could get more money than the standardized industry check they have been receiving while others could get less.
And those claimants that are already in the claims system but have yet to submit the necessary documentation will get a $1,000 "good faith" check for July as they continue to gather papers, but they will not get full payment until proper documentation has been submitted.
Once a claimant submits the necessary documents, if they show that the victim is due more than the $1,000 advance payment for July, BP said it will provide a supplemental payment to make up the difference.
Claimants can submit documentation - tax returns, trip tickets or pay stubs - to BP through the mail, by fax or at one of the 35 claims offices located throughout the Gulf.
"If individuals have not given us supporting documents, we need them," said Darryl Willis of BP's Claims Team, in a company statement released Wednesday. "For many it has been 45 to 60 days, and we would like to ensure that we are paying them for the income they have lost."
There will be no "good faith" payments after July. To be paid in August and beyond, claimants must provide verification of their income with documentation.
BP is not shutting the door on filers, however. If a claimant gets all of the documentation together in October for losses incurred in June, for example, BP will honor the backdated claim. "From our point of view, people can backdate claims as long as they want," said Max McGahan, BP spokesperson. "If they have documentation, we will pay out the claims."
Even if BP is patient, however, a claimant needs to be aware of local statute of limitation laws, which vary on a state-by-state basis.
In the first months after the oil spill, BP cut checks to victims based on estimates without requiring extensive documentation. For example, boat captains that ran a crew got a $5,000 initial check and deckhands got $2,500. But starting with advance checks cut for July, dollar amounts will be much more specific.
"We are going to make a more precise payment which reflects their actual loss," said McGahan. Checks "will also reflect the seasonality of the fishing industry."
Fishermen earn the bulk of their annual pay in a few peak months that vary depending on the particular seafood being caught. When they submit their paperwork, those variations will be accounted for.
BP has paid out $157.6 million in nearly 51,000 checks as of Thursday. More than 100,000 total claims have been submitted to BP, but meanwhile, more than 45,000 claims are sidelined, awaiting further documentation.
As BP tightens its demand for documentation, the company insists it is not trying to shortchange any claimants.
"The idea is not to reduce how much we are paying out in claims. We are trying to make a more sophisticated system," said McGahan. "To do that, we need some documentation; it has to be based on something."
Even as BP works to refine its process, it won't be in charge for that much longer. The former special master of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, Kenneth Feinberg, has been appointed to oversee the claims process.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Department of Justice sued today to prevent the Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) from purchasing Reynolds Metals Company's aluminum rolling mill and other related assets in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Justice officials said the purchase would result in higher prices for aluminum used to produce cans and higher prices to consumers who purchase canned beverages. "This is a classic case of a highly concentrated industry becoming even more concentrated. That's what the Clayton Act was designed to prevent," said Joel I. Klein, Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust. "Alcoa's purchase of the Reynolds plant will reduce competition by making it easier for the few remaining producers to increase the price of can stock in the United States." Reynolds' Listerhill facility primarily manufactures aluminum can stock, which is used to make the familiar 12-ounce cans for soft drinks, beer, and other beverages. U.S. sales of aluminum can stock exceeded $4.5 billion in 1996. According to the complaint, which was filed in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Alabama, Alcoa proposes to pay Reynolds at least $250 million for its rolling mill and other facilities, and will also obtain a 7-year contract to supply Reynolds with aluminum can stock for its can-making facility. Under the agreement with Alcoa, Reynolds must close down the facility (and pay the associated costs) before transferring ownership to Alcoa, which has no need for additional can stock production capacity, and no present intention of using the facility to produce can stock.
Added Klein, "Allowing Alcoa to buy Reynolds only to shut it down will hurt consumers--both the manufacturers of cans and the millions of Americans who buy soft drinks and other beverages packaged in cans. The removal of Reynolds, which has been an important competitive force in the market, will result in those consumers paying higher prices." Alcoa, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is the largest maker of aluminum can stock in the United States. Reynolds, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, is the third largest maker of aluminum can stock in the United States. Together they own more than 60 percent of U.S. can stock capacity, in a market that has only two other major companies. These four firms dominate the can stock business, accounting for 90 percent of U.S. can stock sales. According to the complaint, there are two types of can stock, each of which is a relevant market. Alcoa and Reynolds are the first and second largest producers of end stock, used to make the lid and pull tab of a beverage can. They are also the second and fourth largest producers of body stock, used in making the body of the can. End stock is made of harder alloys, requires more powerful mills and more mill time to produce than body stock. Alcoa and Reynolds have 20 days to answer the government's complaint. The court will then set a schedule. ### 97-560

"You've arrived in a new city, a new continent, a new coffee shop. You don't really know where you are, and are looking for a good place to eat. You pull out your laptop, fire up Firefox, and go to your favorite review site. It automatically deduces your location, and serves up some delicious suggestions a couple blocks away and plots directions there."
So goes the preamble for a new beta release from Mozilla for its Firefox browser, the location-aware Geode plug-in that will use local Wi-Fi hotspots to pinpoint a location.
Geode is described as "an experimental add-on to explore geolocation" in Firefox 3.1, it's being released now so that developers can begin experimenting and users can provide feedback.
At the moment Geode is currently in use via a demo "Food Finder" feature which shows users the cafes and restaurants within walking distance, but more uses are planned in the near future.

In this powerful 90-minute coaching session you will…
Create a crystal clear vision for your ideal business and life
Uncover hidden challenges that may be sabotaging your ability to take your business to the next level
Leave the session renewed, re-energized, and inspired to create an amazing business that is sustainable, profitable, and allows you considerable freedom
To have a profitable, sustainable, & freedom-based business, your team, processes, and tools must work together beautifully.
First, we Shine a Spotlight on Your Calling & Purpose. If needed, we'll discover your true purpose in life and how to align your business with your passions, skills, and talents so that it's a perfect fit for you and your life. You'll get tools and strategies that clear up confusion and doubt. Whether you have no clue about how to discover your purpose, or you are stuck in fear, this step will move you along on your journey to complete clarity.
Second, you'll learn to Serve Your Ideal Client First. So many business owners do this backwards. They start a business and then go look for customers and clients. Any customer or client. You must have a clear understanding of who you really want to work with. Working with clients or customers who do not appreciate what you do and how you can help them, leaves both of you dissatisfied and discouraged.
We'll evaluate whether your current customers are those that you appreciate and who appreciate you. Once you're aligned with your passion and purpose, this becomes easy.
Third, we'll work together to Structure Your Business for Freedom and Fun. This step is all about looking at your ideal life and structuring your business to support that. You did not start your business to work 24/7, ignore your family and friends, lose your health, and stop all your recreational activities. If you're like most entrepreneurs, you went into business to have more freedom.
We'll also figure out what sets you apart from your competition.
Fourth, I'll help you Systemize Your Business to Maximize Free Time. There are five key areas to focus on to maximize free-time and get the most out of your business. You'll master each one so that your business is rock solid.
There are so many amazing tools out there that can help you optimize and automate your business. We'll find the perfect tools to help you and your team run your business with ease and flow, while maximizing profit AND free time.
Finally, I'll help you Spread the Word. Yes, you will have to market your business. Don't worry. I have great news. Marketing can actually be fun. As you learn to market your business in a way that is in alignment with who you are and what you love, you'll find that people come to you. As you talk about what you do and why you love to do it, the right people can't help but want to buy from you.
I have a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology. Most business coaches can't say this. I'm trained to use proven techniques based in science to help you with any inner game stuff. Helping people overcome fears of failure, fears of getting out there, fear of success, procrastination, feelings of overwhelm, low self-confidence, etc. is my specialty. A lot of inner game stuff comes up when we decide to go for our big dreams. Don't let it stop you from achieving your dreams!
I absolutely love and have an aptitude for technology. Most of my clients are not techy. So, I incorporate their need for tech help into my coaching with what I call "Emergency tech calls."
Don't spend any more than 30 minutes with any business app or tool. If you feel like you're banging your head and getting frustrated after 30 minutes of trying, stop, email me the issue, and move on to something else. I will get back to you as soon as I can.
I think it's important that business owners don't waste their time on technology if they don't have an aptitude for it.
The side benefit is that this offering can help pay for my coaching because it saves you a ton of time, and thus money.
I have a BFA in Electronic Media. I started my career as a web designer & developer before going to graduate school. I was a part-time web designer throughout grad school.
The worst thing you could tell me is "I spent all day trying to get my website to work."
People spend so much time working on their websites and I think that is such a tragedy. So part of my "emergency tech calls" is web development and design.
I have a love and aptitude for creating efficiencies, processes, and structures. I include this as part of my coaching because it can help business owners streamline their businesses, which allows them to focus on what's fun and profitable in the business. A few small tweaks to a system or process can save thousands in the long run.

SIP Trunks
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) lines or trunks let you use your data connection to replace or work alongside your traditional business phone lines.
Your calls are routed over the internet and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology. This enables free calls between linked office sites and significantly reduces your line rental costs.
SIP trunks are an efficient option that converges voice and data traffic over a single network connection, potentially reducing your telephony costs.

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
i have been playing for league of legend for a long time now and ive always enoyed it to play with friends that u know, and together with my classmate we found this combo out.
it profides:
double stun
heavy burst dmg
good change on fist blood
we found out that when u play taric and sion together u have heals stuns and heavy dmg at the same time what happens is that sion's stun and shield deals heavy dmg while taric profides heals icreased armor/decreased for ur enemies. we have played this combo for over 30 times and we end up the game with a tank/healer and a heave OP AP sion.
well this profides only an early game guide becouse if u want to know how to play these champions seperated and what to do in teamfights there are a whole bunch of other guides on this site.
boots ofcourse depents on the other team
merc for heavy CC
tabi for heavy spyh
with mana manipulater u profide a large manaregen for both u and sion great item!
these runes profide mana wich is needed for taric, att speed to regen mana and cd reduce that is very helpfull for taric.
boots he most of the time takes swiftness becouse sion isnt a fast champion or to close the gap to land his stun
with the mana regen profided by taric a large mana pool is helpfull thats why he chooses for Saphire crystall
if he changes his crystal into sheen he has even more dmg output in the time our enemy is stunned that why he chooses for sheen
mana regen is hard needed thats why he chooses for mana per level seals
his other runes are for AP to increase dmg
so what to do:
on level 1 you just stay alive and try reaching level 2 AFAP. from level 2 on you profide double stun and if it didnt fall already fist blood becouse of sions shield and stun and melee dmg from both champions.
summoner spells:
we always choose for dubble ignite to kill exhaust for an dubble stun followed by a slow and clarity for the mana problems on our side
when sion goes out of mana there is no heave dmg.
when taric goes out of mana there is no heal.
when laning against people who can recuce heal(gankplank,katatine etc) taric can have a hard time to keep the team up.
i will be updating this i just want to know what u think!

*a review, comments and reflexions on Sarantis Antiochos´ book DAYDREAMING,
by Jonathan C. Clarke.
"DAYDREAMING by Sarantis Antiochos is a wonderful collection of short writings which include maxims, aphorisms, epigrammes, short poems and mesostichs. They tell us about how important it is to be in touch with the simple things in life and not to get too caught up in our own complexities. In the modern world today, we are faced with an ever changing culture, fueled in large part part by advancements in technology and communication {…} I was impressed by the depth and versatile use of language which depicts each genre of writing in an appropriate style and gives the reader a clear sense of what each text is designed to convey. Mr Antiochos, himself a writer of the Greek diaspora, is not therefore a native English speaker but he, in his youth, lived a decade in London and is still able to use masterly a wide range of vocabulary and idioms, which embellishes and deepens the meanings and allows the reader to visualize his ideas more profoundly…

Be part of leadership development, our conference, and advocacy!
What our members are saying
As a U.S. Hispanic woman, I feel that FCH gives me the opportunity to voice my concerns as a member and it empowers me as a Hispanic in a leadership position.
The Church in the United States must have a space where religious educators and other pastoral leaders come together on a regular basis to reflect about how catechesis takes place in light of the Hispanic Catholic experience. FCH is without a doubt that space —essential to actualize the mission of NCCL in our day— where ideas are shared, catechetical matters are critically engaged, and a fresher vision for the future of religious education in an increasingly Hispanic Church is forged.
Los catequistas Hispanos necesitamos una organización para poder compartir. ¿Qué podemos compartir? Pues, nuestras metas, logros, éxitos, retos y el cómo aprendemos en el camino. FCH es un lugar a donde acudir y encontrar una red de personas con quien se comparte lo que llevo a cabo en las sesiones de catequesis.

text: Hey everybody. I'm taking a trip to Australia in the near future, and had a question about charging my DS while I'm down there. I've purchased a Samsonite convertor/adaptor plug kit that includes a 50-1600 watt converter that adapts the 220/240 volt output of an Australian outlet to the North American 110/120 volt output. I thought all would be well. However, as I read through the instructions, it specifically advises against using this with electronics and rechargeable batteries. Nintendo.com advises using a step up(step down?) transformer for this purpose. Does anyone have any insight into this? I can return the Samsonite adaptor no problem if I need to. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks a lot, you've all helped me so well in the past. I really appreciate it. Cheers!

The immediate toll of the earthquake in Haiti is unfathomable. Fifty thousand dead (so far) with an additional three million homeless or injured. Horrifying images illustrate these statistics – a bulldozer scooping away piles of bodies, a dead child being tossed out the back door of a hospital, a foot poking out of a mountain of concrete. Tens of thousands of people gather at the central park in Port-au-Prince, searching for family, food, and water. And this is to say nothing of long-term cost of fallen schools, ruptured roads and ports, and the enormous gaps left in the Haitian government after many of their occupied buildings collapsed.
While the earthquake was a natural phenomenon, the impact was anything but. As demonstrated by the 2004 tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and now the Haiti earthquake, natural disasters disproportionately affect the poor and the vulnerable. To understand why Haiti is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, we must look to its history of hundreds of years of ruthless occupation by the Spanish and French. The colonial rule stripped the land of its resources and wreaked havoc on the indigenous population by means of slavery and disease. The 1915-1934 United States occupation set the stage for future destruction, which was followed by US involvement in aiding dictators and undermining democratically elected leaders. It is no mere coincidence that Haiti is so poor. Nor, as some bozos would like us to believe, is it a matter of a "pact with a devil" or a "progress-resistant culture."
Northwestern University's campus has been shamefully quiet in its response to the Haiti earthquake. Many have questioned whether Northwestern should do anything at all.
We can and we must respond. First, it's about us. The earthquake is much more connected to our community than many realize. I know of several Northwestern students and employees who have been desperately trying to get in touch with friends and family in Haiti, but to no avail.
Second, it is matter of social justice, a matter of righting past wrongs. For too long, we as individuals and as a nation have stood by silently as Haiti suffered as a direct result of the actions of our government. This time, we can stand on the right side of history. Lastly, it's because we have the money to do it. Nearly all of us can afford to dig into our pockets and give $5, $10, or $20 to support the ongoing relief efforts.
So, as my now favorite actress Meryl Streep remarked at the Golden Globes, "Shoot some money to Partners In Health and be damn grateful you have the dollars to help." To give to Partners In Health, one of the leading aid organizations in Haiti, visit the Northwestern University community fundraising page at http://bit.ly/NUhaiti

Ghotit dyslexia spell and grammar checker www.ghotit.com works for meReplyDelete
Dear Unknown,ReplyDelete
Appreciate your posting about the www.Ghotit.com dyslexia spellchecker. Did not know about this program. I just visited the site, viewed the video there, and saw how it works well for dylsexia and dysgraphia. Because of your comment, I thought it was certainly worth adding to our list above here even though we understand it to be a software program rather than an app.
More information and good resources are always good things! Many thanks for taking the time to give your input and information. I do appreciate it!
These sound fantastic. I will let my parents know! Thanks for the info.ReplyDelete
Appreciate your good comments, Paula. Thank you, also, for your willingness to share these resources with parents whose children might benefit! Happy Reading to you!ReplyDelete
Thank you for Sharing OpenWeb. It's amazing how many thank you emails that my husband has received for working on OpenWeb and also OpenDyslexic.ReplyDelete
After seeing how much I love to read and loving to read himself, he realized that there are many people with dyslexia that would love to have tools like these at their finger tips. He's done some research, and although he doesn't have dyslexia, the only other font that he knew of at the time cost way more than many people could afford. He decided that he'd create the font, make it free, and allow it to help others.
If you'd like to check out more about OpenDyslexic, check out Dyslexicfonts.com. Please let us know if it helps you. :)
Dear B.E. Mom,ReplyDelete
Yes, the OpenWeb is excellent, and that is why it was included in the above article's list of resources. However, the OpenDyslexic is one I had not seen and am most grateful for your introduction of it here. Thank you!
I would like to include the URL here for more information on this resource: http://abbiecod.es/2011/12/22/open-dyslexic-a-free-dyslexia-font/. I hope that our readers will visit the page to learn more and see the fonts that are more easily readable by those with dyslexia (and the fonts are made very pleasant and readable for others as well.)
The fact that this resource is FREE is laudable, as it can take considerable time and effort to develop such fonts. Thank you to your husband for making this possible! The alternative offerings available are far too expensive and not accessible for many challenged with dyslexia.
Much appreciation to you both!

I believe the combination of Bellavita and Youngevity provides a perfect fit for business growth in Asia. Youngevity's established offices in Singapore and the Philippines combined with Bellavitas market presence provides us with sales centers in 7 countries in Asia.

Too much happens in a day...
The website infrastructure has been overhauled and now the core of everything here is up and running smoothly for my personal blog. The only problem I have now is that "Too Much Happens In A Day"
With all the side projects that I have agreed to help out with oer the last year or so from wedding videos, charity videos and just helping friends out, I have not had time for myself and barely had enough time for my business so the blog or I will like to call it going forward, "My Journal" had suffered immensely.
Today, or was it yesterday, I can not recall since I have yet to sleep, but sine I'm still awake, I will say it is today even though it happened technically yesterday since it is five in the morning, was pretty insane. A good friend of mine and one of the StormChasingVideo.com crew got some amazing footage but I also had flashbacks to 5/31/2013 or "El Reno" when I lost a couple of friends. Verne got caught up in the storm and drove down the wrong road and got hit by the tornado.
Many times while storm chasing, we depend on technology to help us with mapping and location in relation to the storm. What happens when the road that is on the map is no longer there? Today Verne had that problem. The road that was suppose to be an escape route turned into what he said was a "Two Mile Driveway" that when he got to the house at the end, there was no where left to go?
Here is the footage he shot. It is pretty insane.
Now this was not the only video we had from today. If you go to www.stormchasingvideo.com you will see we had some great footage from Ben McMillan who was live streaming most of the day. Brandon Ivey got some crazy aftermath of flooding in Wyoming. Justin King had some great storm damage footage from just south of Loveland. Eric Treece and Brian Barnes were on the same storm as Verne. So Yes, Too Much Happens In A Day, but I fit it all in somehow.
Now the question is how to fall asleep and get up early enough to be ready for todays or do I call it "Tomorrows Storms?" Not sure how but maybe a couple of shots of Tequila could help but I doubt it. Time to lay my head down next to Charley (aka Happy Cat) and let the purring from him help me start to mellow out and get a few hours of sleep before hitting the news desk again.

Twelve 2010 hurricanes, but hardly a scratch on the United States
It may be a cliché, but that doesn't make it untrue: The United States dodged a bullet during the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season, which officially ends today.
In a summer when exceptionally warm seas fueled the formation of 19 named storms, a dozen of which became hurricanes, perhaps the most remarkable thing is that the U.S. escaped with a few minor scratches.
Since 1944, when the modern hurricane record began, only once has there been a year with more hurricanes, 2005, and a year with as many, 1969.
The big difference between those years and the summer of 2010, of course, is that Katrina, Rita and Wilma walloped the Gulf Coast during 2005, and in 1969 Hurricane Camille struck Mississippi as one of only three hurricanes to make landfall as a Category 5 storm, the most intense kind.
The big difference between those years and the summer of 2010, of course, is that Katrina, Rita and Wilma walloped the Gulf Coast during 2005, and in 1969 Hurricane Camille struck Mississippi as one of only three hurricanes to make landfall as a Category 5 storm, the most intense kind.
This year, the nation's closest brush with a hurricane came early in the season with Alex, with a rare June hurricane that made landfall 110 miles south of the Texas-Mexico border with 105-mph winds.
"The United States was very fortunate to have not experienced any landfalling hurricanes this year," said Phil Klotzbach, a noted seasonal hurricane forecaster at Colorado State University.
Protected high ...
Klotzbach had a good year, prediction-wise. His forecast issued June 2, the day after the season began, called for 18 named tropical systems and 10 hurricanes. About one of every four hurricanes that form during the Atlantic season typically strikes the U.S., so the probability that none did during the hyperactive 2010 season is about 3 percent, he said.
The U.S. - but certainly not Mexico, parts of the Caribbean and Bermuda - escaped major harm mostly due to several large-scale patterns in the atmosphere, said Chris Hebert, a hurricane forecaster at ImpactWeather, a firm based in Houston.
First, Hebert said, a strong high-pressure system centered over the central to southern U.S. for much of the summer prevented most storms that reached the western Caribbean from turning northwestward toward the U.S. Gulf Coast. Instead, these storms, including Alex, Hermine, Karl, Matthew and Richard, were steered westward into the Yucatan Peninsula and others parts of Mexico.
This high-pressure system also kept Houston's summer temperatures at or above record levels, with August finishing as the city's warmest month on record.
... and low
A second factor this season, Hebert said, was a low-pressure trough along the East Coast positioned just offshore rather than inland across the Eastern United States. This trough acted to steer any approaching storm, and there were some powerful ones, including Hurricanes Earl and Igor, northward off the East Coast.
"Had the trough set up just a few hundred miles farther west during the summer, the East U.S. Coast would have been hit by several hurricanes," he said. "And if the southern ridge position had been a few hundred miles farther east, then the northwest Gulf Coast would have been at risk for several landfalls."
This season's sparing of the U.S. continues a trend.
Although Hurricanes Katrina, Ike and Wilma are three of the four costliest hurricanes in U.S. history, the country actually has been fortunate during the last 16 years with respect to major hurricane landfalls.
According to Klotzbach, the 20th century average is that approximately 30 percent of all major hurricanes that form in the Atlantic make a U.S. landfall. Yet since 1995, when there have been 61 major hurricanes, only 10 have made a U.S. landfall. That's just 16 percent, or half the historical average.
Will the trend continue next year?
Seasonal forecasters say there's no reliable way to predict, prior to the beginning of a season, where storms are most likely to make landfall.
However, even this far in advance they can begin to glimpse whether overall activity likely will be below, at or above normal levels.
Klotzbach will issue his initial forecast for 2011 on Dec. 8.
Hebert said he's already seen enough data to indicate 2011 will be another busy year in the tropics, although probably not quite on par with 2010's frenetic activity.
Every indication suggests the primary storm formation regions of the Atlantic will see water temperatures well above normal next summer, favoring more storms, and there's likely to be at least a weak La Niña in effect in the Pacific. This also tends to favor development in the Atlantic.
"Though it's way too early to speculate about potential U.S. landfalls in 2011, a slightly stronger Bermuda High may increase the risk of a hurricane impact on the Gulf Coast or the East U.S. Coast in 2011," Hebert said. "It's unlikely we'll be so lucky in 2011."
Facts about the 2010 season:
Nineteen named storms occurred: Since 1944, only 1995 (19) and 2005 (28) have had the same or more named storms.
Twelve hurricanes occurred: Since 1944, only two seasons, 1969 (12) and 2005 (15) have had the same or more hurricanes in a single season.
Five major hurricanes formed: Since 1944, only seven seasons (1950, 1955, 1961, 1964, 1996, 2004 and 2005) have had more than five major hurricanes form.
Eleven named storms formed between Aug. 22 and Sept. 29: This is the most named storms to form during this period, breaking the record of nine named storms set in 1933, 1949, 1984 and 2002.
Hurricane Alex: It was the most powerful hurricane during the month of June, in terms of maximum sustained winds (97.8 mph), since Hurricane Alma in 1966, which had estimated maximum sustained winds of 126.6 mph.
Only one tropical storm made U.S. landfall (Bonnie): A hurricane has not made landfall since Ike in 2008. The last time there were two consecutive years with no hurricane landfalls was 2000-01.
Only three tropical storms have made landfall over the past two years: The last time three or fewer tropical cyclones made landfall in any consecutive two-year period was 1990-91.

Preheat a large heavy bottomed pot over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil, 1 turn of the pan, and 1 pound of the diced chicken. Season with salt and pepper and a sprinkle of poultry seasoning. Brown on all sides, about 2 or 3 minutes. Chop your veggies while it's working. Add half the andouille to the pan and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer chicken and sausage to a dish and repeat with remaining chicken and sausage, remembering to season the diced chicken as you go. Return pan to heat and add butter. When the butter melts, add chopped celery, peppers, onion and bay. Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce. Cook 3 to 5 minutes to begin to soften veggies. Add flour and cook for 2 minutes. Slowly stir in the broth and bring liquid up to a boil. Add okra, chicken and sausage to the boiling broth, then stir in your tomatoes and half of your fresh thyme. Bring back up to a bubble, reduce to simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes to combine flavors and adjust your seasonings. Serve gumbo with chopped thyme and scallions to garnish. Scoop cooked white rice into the center of bowlfuls of gumbo using an ice cream scoop. Enjoy!

Slideshow | Code
Memphis flies under the radar as a technology hub, but there's still a pretty active community of developers and other technologists that like to meet up and do stuff. I occasionally pop in on the PHP User Group, Ruby User Group, and Python User Group meetups when I get the chance. Every few months, the various user groups organize a joint meetup called the Super User Group Meetup and feature presentations on platform agnostic topics such as development tools, front-end development, processes, and whwatever else people want to talk about.
For the most recent meetup on June 20, 2013, I threw my name in the ring as a presenter and gave a talk about the what, where and how of HTML5 games. It's nothing terribly complex or in-depth, just a brief survey of the general idea of developing games for the web using web based standards.
This was the first time I'd used the Reveal.js slideshow library. It was a pretty positive experience, especially with the help of slid.es to get started. Embedding live javascript is pretty boss. Also, there are a lot of great plugins, and I definitely took advantage of the 'notes server' so I could display the slides on once screen, and my notes on another. I'll be using Reveal again in the future.

It's hard to imagine Bryan Cranston as anything other than one of the most talented actors in Hollywood. His role as Walter White, a genius chemist turned maniacal drug lord, on "Breaking Bad" garnered him legions of fans, critical praise and plenty of hardware during awards season.
He's been in the business for over three decades and he makes good acting look easy. But just like any other Hollywood hopeful, Cranston had to practice. He started taking acting classes as a teenager and revealed to Parade Magazine why he'll never forget his first cringe-worthy love scene.
"My first day in acting class, I was issued a scene that said, 'A teenage couple is making out on a park bench,'" Cranston said. "When we were called up, I went to kiss the girl, and she was on me -- embrace, passion, I'm dizzy, I'm lost."
The hot and heavy make-out session doesn't sound too terrible, but it's what Cranston did next that makes his first encounter with faked romance so memorable.
"At the break I said to her, 'Do you want to have lunch sometime?'" Cranston said. "She looked at me like I was a lost puppy and said, 'Oh, no, no, no. I have a boyfriend.' I would have bet anything she was into me."
Poor Heisenberg!

Anne Curtis Wardrobe Malfunction Video | Filipino Actress & Model Exposes Breast
I admit I'd never heard of Anne Curtis until today. But now not only do I know who she is, I've also had the pleasure of seeing one of her breasts, as Curtis is the latest celebrity to fall foul of an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction.
Online video is great for many reasons, but the biggest boon has been for sex addicts and people who like looking at porn.
Not only can they now watch hardcore pornography online, they can also venture on to video chat Web sites such as Chatroulette. And they can also see celebrities exposing themselves for all the world to see.
I can't see that wardrobe malfunctions have increased over the past few years, I just think we all get to see them now thanks to YouTube and like.
Anne Curtis' nip slip isn't much to write home about, partly because the camera is a long way away, and partly because she doesn't have much up top to expose. Still, it's better than nothing, I guess.

It's happened, finally, and I can hardly believe it.
I am now top of The Badger's Mini-League. I have beaten not only Matt Gregg, but Fenno. When Killian told me last night I honestly couldn't believe it.
I'd like to think that it's because of my stellar talent and instinct, but in reality, we've all had a really crap week. If you look closely at all of the teams in the league, we're all quite similar. Milner is a frequent choice, as is Rooney. Plus, as stated in my previous blog, no one has been playing apart from Portsmouth, and who's going to pick players from a team that are going bankrupt?
While my relationship with Team News is now quite satisfactory, there are some clouds on the horizon. We're no longer like a failed marriage. Now it's more like a relationship that exists for convenience. I'm not totally in love with them, but they're making me happy. However, one of my stars is looking shaky. Cesc Fabregas injured his hamstring and was out for his recent Champions League match. He, along with Rooney, is one of my main points scorers. It just seems so unfair that they'd both get injured at the same time.
However, I'm trying to remain positive. The fact that I'm number one is really quite comforting. Gav told me that it's only because I like to be superior to men in traditionally male pursuits, but in reality it's because winning is awesome. I'm not going to let anyone make me feel ashamed of loving winning and hating losing, because that's how life is.
In reality, I know that I'm not the best person at this and I've had a lot of help. If and when things go back to normal, I know that I'll return to my normal position of third or fourth. However, I'll probably go lower because of stupid Fabregas and Rooney. They should man up and forget about their injuries. I know I say this a lot, but I've put a lot into this and they really should realise this.
It doesn't matter though. As long as I'm beating Killian, everything's fine.

Latest Glass Shower Enclosures Inspiring Your Modern Bathroom
Believe or not, the reference related to glass shower enclosures is giving much inspiration for many people. This happens because based on the fact that most of the human living in this world, especially in the big cities, they create a bathroom with the modern concept. The recent bathroom ideas make them feel proud of their house architecture and design. The area of the bathroom is not only in shower space, but it has powder space, toilet, and bathtub as well which require high furniture quality to support a beautiful looking.
Medium Shower Space
Look at glass shower enclosures in this picture. The shower is located in the corner of the bathroom. It has no ceiling on the top, so the air circulation for this room is always fresh. The shower space is designed with a black line on the edge on the glass. Next to the shower, space is the white bathtub. It is put on the higher level than flooring. The brown wall decor in this room has some spaces for putting the candles.
Both of these bathrooms apply green and blue tile wall in the shower space. This tile gives fresh sensation when taking a bath. The suitable interior for this kind of bathroom is the wood cabinet with white countertop. The wall is painted in white, so does the ceiling.
Fresh bathroom looking can be seen from the pictures above. These rooms are decorated in white. They have white tile flooring, wall, and ceiling. Even more, the interior inside the shower space is also in white. It makes the room looks brighter with the glass wall separation.
Next pictures welcome you into a special bathroom. They are special because they have unique shower space. Look at them. There is pretty orchid on the brown vase standing on the gray rock. This rock is put inside the shower room. This supports nature sensation of the stacked stalls in this room.
Small Bathroom Ideas
Here are beautiful bathrooms with warm sensation because these rooms are designed in brown color and less bright lighting system. The white interior designs are still priority furniture for this bathroom style.
In the small bathroom, you have to design a narrow space with complete bath facilities. The best way to manage is by deciding a shower space to in the corner of the room. Even though it is just small, you must remember to give fresh atmosphere by putting green plants around this place.

Former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry Can Relate to Tyrion Lannister
And his own brush with the law, not being falsely accused of regicide.
No, longtime Washington, D.C. politician Marion Barry has not been falsely accused of regicide and sentenced to death by his own father, but he was able to laugh about his own brush with the law. Spoilers ahead — don't read if you haven't seen the season finale of Game of Thrones, "The Children."
During the season finale, Barry tweeted:
My main man Tyrion! #GameOfThrones— Marion S. Barry, Jr. (@marionbarryjr) June 16, 2014
This prompted @kept_simple to reply:
.@marionbarryjr bitch set him up— kept_simple (@kept_simple) June 16, 2014
For those not familiar with the American precursor to Rob Ford, while serving as mayor in 1990, Barry was caught smoking crack with his mistress in an FBI sting. During the videotaped arrest, he lamented, "Bitch set me up ... I shouldn't have come up here ... goddamn bitch." Apparently, he didn't mind the reference:
@kept_simple Yeah, I must admit he was indeed set up but....he lives to tell about it. LOL!— Marion S. Barry, Jr. (@marionbarryjr) June 16, 2014
@kept_simple answered with a joke about the slogan for Barry's successful 1992 mayoral campaign, "He May Not Be Perfect, But He's Perfect for D.C."
@marionbarryjr Tyrion may not be perfect, but he's perfect for the Iron Throne— kept_simple (@kept_simple) June 16, 2014
Barry replied "LOL!" and added:
Well no more #GameOfThrones #Scandal #HouseOfCards for a while...I guess we have to just entertain ourselves with real politics for now.— Marion S. Barry, Jr. (@marionbarryjr) June 16, 2014
When it comes to keeping real politics entertaining, he certainly did his share.

Life With A Donated Member
A horrible accident saw me lose the most important limb I have, my penis. I will not go into any details but suffice to say, one should never be cheap and use knock-off lube that can pass convincingly as axle grease with one's fleshlight, especially if it's for a vigorous session.
But thanks to the miracle of science, all was not lost. Just to be clear, all the penis was lost, everything from the pelvis onwards. All of that gone! I was left looking like a mannequin with a pair of saggy balls for comedic effect.
Medical science has come a long way from the days of leeches and spells (MODERN medical science). I did not have to go through life with the humiliation of having to be the only chap to argue for leaving the toilet seat down. Because really!? Who can't be bothered to take the single second to actually look to check the position of the toilet seat before getting down to business.
A radical new procedure, the penis transplant, meant that I was able to get a new lease on life. I could consider myself a man in all the relevant ways. I would only have to comprise in a few minor ways; length, girth and skin tone. Small sacrifices to still be able to have a penis.
Surprisingly, the concept of having a penis that was from a corpse was surprisingly easy to get used to. It's amazing what the horror of having to live with no dick will do to your sense of perspective. Even the skin tone thing was pretty easy to get used to. Flashing it became an amusing party trick as no one could actually believe they saw a lightest-skinned cock on this darkest of dudes. It was hilarious. And it was more than once where I was propositioned by women looking to experience the cock to believe the story *wink wink, nudge nudge* i.e. white man meat from a black mandingo.
But these little things did not take the edge off the hardships of having a second hand sausage.
Masturbation was never the same. It never felt like I was pleasuring myself, more like a phantom handjob, and an amateurish one at that. The technique I had perfected since my teens was off thanks to the new thickness and length of the shaft and its different nerve endings. I always had to be conscious of the strokes or I would end up almost ripping my head of as I overshot. The natural grip I had was suddenly not right and it felt like I was jerking a disembodied penis that mysteriously made me orgasm.
Sex with the girlfriend was always awkward. After the initial new dick novelty wore off, she became uncomfortable with having the Frankenstein weiner all up in her. Blowjobs are at an end when you have to convince her that no really, it's totally fine to have what was once a dead man's schlong in your mouth, it's not at all necrophilic. Sex became a dutiful chore that even a Puritan would deem it frigid. Of course the lack of release has made me more of an ornery bastard, which weird enough, is suddenly gaining me more female attention. Which just amps my need for release, making me more annoyed. It's a vicious cycle.
Even months after the operation, a simple morning wee can end in disaster, with pee all over the floor, due to misjudgement of positioning and trajectory of the morning wood due to the foreign stiffy that is now attached to my body.
Deep down, I don't think I will ever get accustomed to having a new tool to work with. But still, better used dick than no dick at all. A philosophy most women, gay dudes and, now one straight guy, can live by.

One world
New order
Illuminati uses you
Their jury
Their justice
But for the chosen few
Who is the great dictator
Who oils the grand machine
Who lubes the wheels of progress
With blood drawn from your veins
One world
New order
Illuminati poisons you
New world
One order
Notice? Do you?
Satan gave himself a name
Mason, exposed controls the game
Who's reaping
From ruin
What is the master plan?
Won't matter
Not to you
If you are just a man
You dragged the stones to Giza
But they built the pyramids
On your back shouldered greatness
Not you just what you did
You're reaping
Your ruin
This is the master's plan
To use you
Discard you
As he will every man
Satan named himself a place
Babylon known as the usa
Illuminati dominates
You build your place in hell
You're not aware that you create
Their paradise-your frozen cell
New world
One order
Illuminati is machine
Your worth
In ruin
You pave their streets with dreams
With trust you're made the victim
Atop mass graves they revel
Free mason buries you
Free mason buries you
