New Englanders have
a saying: "If you don't like the weather, just wait a minute."
Weather forecasts may be more stable in other parts of the world,
but the basic idea stands. Weather is dynamic, the product of
interacting forces we are only beginning to understand.
Witness the weather extremes caused by El Niño in 1997
and 1998. El Niño raised water temperatures in the Pacific
and the effects were felt worldwide: crop failures, disease
outbreaks, excess snow, or too little
rain. Journalists have painted a picture of El Niño as
an isolated event, a freak weather occurrence. But El Niño,
like many other climatic forces, is part of Earth's balancing
act. It has come before. It will happen again.
Weather may change on a daily basis, but climate changes over
geologic time. The history of the planet is marked by cold periods
and warm periods that are surprisingly regular. Some scientists
suggest that human civilization has thrived in what is no more
than a brief warm spell in Earth's history. Like El Niño,
ice ages are patterns, not incidents. Seen on a geologic scale,
climate is no more stable than weather.
Join us as we explore the forces
behind the weather. Try your hand at tornado chasing or discover
how wind chill works. Begin by taking a look at what protects
Earth from the forbidding climate of outer space in "The
"Weather" is inspired by programs from
Planet Earth.

In the paralytic, all the Gentiles are brought to Him to be healed. He accordingly is brought by the ministry of angels; he is called son, because he is the work of God; the sins of his soul are forgiven, which the law could not forgive. For faith only justifies. Then he manifests the power of the resurrection, when, by taking up his bed, he teaches that in heaven bodies shall be without infirmity.
St Hilary Bishop of Potiers, cited in Sunday Sermons of the Great Fathers vol. 4. Pg. 180
In figure, the soul lying sick in its body, its power enfeebled, is offered to the Lord, the Perfect Physician, to be cured
St Jerome, cited in Sunday Sermons of the Great Fathers vol. 4. Pg. 181
... Let us say again what we have said before: That anyone who is sick should seek the help in prayer of others, that they may be restored to health; that through their intercession, the enfeebled frame of our body, the wavering footsteps of our deeds, may be restored to health by the remedy of the heavenly word. Let there be therefore be certain helpers of the soul (monitores), to raise the soul of man, even lying indifferent in the weakness of the outer body, so that by their assistance it may be easy for a man to raise himself and lower himself again, to be placed in the sight of Jesus; worthy to appear in the Lord's sight. For the Lord looks with affection on the humble: Because "he hath regarded the humility of His handmaid" (Lk 1:48)
St Ambrose, Bishop of Milan
Cited in Sunday Sermons of the Great Fathers vol. 4. Pg. 182-183
In this place He gives a complete likeness of the resurrection. Healing wounds of mind and body, He forgives the sins of souls and makes an end to the infirmity of the flesh: This is to cure the whole man. And though it is a great thing to forgive men their sins (for who can forgive sins but God alone, Who also forgives them through those to whom He has given the power of forgiving sin?) nevertheless, it is a much more divine work to give resurrection to their bodies; because the Lord is Himself the Resurrection
St Ambrose Op. Cit. Pg. 183
House is also used to mean the dwelling place of the heart. So to a certain man who was cured was it said: Go into thy house (Mk 5:19) for it is fitting that a sinner after he is forgiven, should return again to his own mind, lest he yield again to that for which he will justly be punished.
St Gregory the Dialogist, Pope of Rome
Op. Cit. Pg. 192
O if we but chose! Brethren, if we but chose to look into every paralysis of our mind, and see our soul as it lies abandoned upon its bed of sin; we would see it clearly as Christ sees us; urging us, even unwilling, towards His saving remedies!
St Peter Chrysologos Op. Cit. Pg. 190

Today, Laura Diamond, Sarah Fine and I are tackling a topic together. It's called Münchausen syndrome.
It's a psychiatric, factitious disorder whereby people fake illnesses for attention and sympathy.
Ever heard of it? It's named after Baron Von Münchausen (1720-1797), who told many fantastic and untruthful tales about his adventures. His stories were later told in a novel by Rudolf Erich Raspe, and also in a 1988 film, The Adventures of Baron Von Munchausen. (Remember Uma Thurman as the Goddess Venus?)
Sarah Fine is going to tackle Münchausen's by Proxy, which occurs when parents sicken their own children to get attention as the "concerned parent."
Laura Diamond is going to tackle the psychiatric aspects of Münchausen's syndrome.
And I'll tackle some of the medical aspects of Münchausen's.
First of all, Münchausen's is different from malingering.
Malingering is when people fake their illness for secondary gain. Secondary gain can include money (for a lawsuit), getting out of military duty, getting out of prison for the "nicer" environment of the prison hospital, getting out of school (see Ferris Bueller's Day Off), getting out of prison ("I swear I was crazy when I killed that guy!"), getting prescription drugs, etc. Also, see my vomiting chicken blood post.
It's also different from Somatoform Disorders, when people have physical symptoms without any overt abnormalities on tests. These people aren't faking their suffering.
In Münchausen's, the person fakes an illness because they find the attention of medical personnel and the medical environment comforting and pleasant. From the doctor's side of this, it can be extremely frustrating.
Here's a story that I heard when I was a medical student.
A man came to the hospital with excruciating abdominal pain. He was at a party the night before when he clinked glasses with guests. After drinking his champagne, he realized his glass had broken during the toast and splinter-sized shards were at the bottom of his glass. He was convinced he'd swallowed some splinters.
Though normally glass should be seen on an X-ray, tiny shards might be missed. He had an endoscopy, which revealed nothing. He was ready to have an exploratory surgery to remove the possible glass shards from his gut when my attending (who I believe was a rotating resident at the time) said, "Hey. You look very familiar. Didn't you come to the ER at another hospital with the same problem last month?"
The patient immediately left and never came back.
Yes, he was willing to have an unnecessary, major surgery. And needle pokes, and endoscopies, and radiation. But he also got a load of concerned doctors, nurses, and staff who thought, "This poor man! He needs our help!"
Here's another one.
A woman came in with fevers and signs of a blood bacterial infection gone out of control. After antibiotics and an ICU stay, she recovered. There was no obvious cause for the infection, and doctors were confused as to why several types of bacteria grew in her blood. (Normally in blood infections, there is just one bacteria involved.)
After a second bout of sepsis with multiple bacteria, the hospital staff suspected Munchausen's. The patient was then observed surreptitiously injecting herself intravenously with a liquid mixture made from her own feces.
And on, and on, and on. There are thousands of stories like these, sadly. People injecting themselves with insulin to get hypoglycemic; people rubbing dirt and spit into their wounds to prolong a hospital stay...sounds impossible? It's not. I've seen a bunch of them myself.
Many patients with Munchausen's will go to several doctors and/or hospitals for treatment ("doctor hopping"). They may move to different states so they can do it again, or change their names. And they're willing to undergo unnecessary, even dangerous, evaluations to do so and put their very lives at risk.
From the medical side, the key to finding out someone has Munchausen's is part science, and part luck. Doctors have an obligation to make sure there truly isn't a dangerous medical condition before they blame something on Munchausen's--because that kind of accusation is extremely serious. But when the data doesn't add up (like the multiple bacteria in the blood, above) or suspicious behavior is found, then we suspect Munchausen's. I have heard that video cameras can be used to prove cases of Munchausen's by proxy, but I'm not sure about regular Munchausen's.
It can be particularly difficult to diagnose if the patient already has real medical problems, and/or has educated themselves about certain illnesses--how they present, what "alarm" words to use to make doctors sit up and take notice.
Can you imagine what's it's like to have Münchausen's? Can you imagine having one of your characters with this syndrome?

Reid emboldened by big gains
It was the mantra repeated over and over again in Senate GOP rallies across the country — vote Republican and kick Harry Reid out of his job as majority leader.
But Reid not only survived the attacks, Senate Democrats dominated election night and Reid comes out empowered with a larger majority and shows no signs of leaving his top post in the Senate anytime soon.
Story Continued Below
In an interview with POLITICO, not only did Reid suggest he'd stay as leader for the remaining four years of his curent Senate term, but the Nevada Democrat said he'd run for reelection in November 2016, when he'd be close to turning 77 years old. It would make him the longest-serving Senate leader since Montana Democrat Mike Mansfield, who was majority leader from 1961 to 1977.
"I have this one and one more Congress before I have to run for reelection," Reid said. "I'm planning on running for reelection."
Reid added: "I'm pretty healthy, take good care of myself. I'm going to raise some more money because I've given most of it away. But I'm pretty good at raising money."
When asked whether he wants to stay on as majority leader throughout his tenure in the Senate, the answer was an emphatic yes.
"Oh sure," Reid said. "Why not?"
It's the latest effort by Reid to defy the political odds — a man raised in a broken home, paid for law school by working nights as a U.S. Capitol cop, was nearly defeated in 1998 only to suddenly become Democratic leader in 2005, and survived a very tough race two years ago.
Now add to that résumé another surprising political victory — Democrats picked up two seats to give them an expected 10-seat majority, assuming independent former Gov. Angus King of Maine sides with them, in the next Congress, an unthinkable result considering that a year ago many had written off the Democratic majority.
The decisive election came after months of Reid's back-channel efforts to bolster a pro-Senate Democrat super PAC, protect his incumbents from tough votes while boosting their legislative initiatives, and help his colleagues survive after the president's team told him not to expect any financial help.
Democrats also were amazingly lucky in several states. GOP Sen. Olympia Snowe's decision to retire put a safe Maine seat in play. Rep. Todd Akin's meltdown in Missouri after inflammatory rape comments, combined with the controversial statement by Richard Mourdock in Indiana, all but handed two seats to Democrats that they could have never won.

Sept. 11, 2008
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - This weekend, the Yale men will begin the year's cross-country season at the Fairfield Invitational. The 8,000-meter race, held at Fairfield University, will take place at 11:15 a.m. on Saturday. The promising Yale squad returns all but one of its top five scorers from last season, including this year's captain, senior Jake Gallagher.
This will be the Elis' first appearance at this invitational; they opened last season with a loss to Harvard. This year, the annual Harvard-Yale dual meet is scheduled for the end of September at Yale, giving the team a chance to tune-up at Fairfield before its first Ivy League competition.
Results from the Fairfield invite will be posted on the Yale Athletics website at the conclusion of the meet.

Hi there, folks. I just want to share a track from my upcoming album with you soon to be released on Tmpf Records. I don't have a release date just yet, but it will probably be sometime in Dec. Anyway, here is Hat-trick #8. It's based on the same 'spontaneous composition' technique used on the Fortunes and Hat-Tricks, Vol. 1 album. I do hope you enjoy. I'll keep you posted on when the full album is available to hear and to have!
Tag Archives: Tmpf Records
An odd exercise…
The following is my review of my own album, Fortunes and Hat-tricks, Vol. 1. I'm aware that it's a little odd to write a formal review of your own album, but my hope is that it will entice a few people to give a listen who had not yet done so. So, without further ado…
If you've ever been on a crowded subway car you know that things usually goes one of two ways. The first and most likely scenario is that most everyone seems to take the crowd as a personal affront, and they aggressively assert themselves. They tend to obnoxiously claim as much space for themselves as possible, totally disregarding everyone around them, ignoring the fact that they are all going through the exact same thing. This approach makes the experience more difficult for everyone. Truly no one wins. The second way things can go is that most of the people on this crowded train car realize they are not the only ones experiencing this, and they work together leaving as much free space for others as possible, treating those around them with respect and humanity. They take off bulky back packs and put them on their laps or between their legs. They hold the pole so others can too, instead of leaning on it, leaving room for no one else.
Metaphorically apply the first approach to handling the subway situation to a jazz ensemble freely improvising. Most times free improv = every-man-for-himself type of mayhem. Each musician is so concerned he won't have space of his own that he never leaves any space for anyone else. Even if what each individual player is doing has musical merit, if no one is listening to anyone else or willing to leave space, the result is unmusical, the result is cacophony. For the audience the result is, almost without exception, an aggressive and exhausting aural attack. The audience is excluded from the performance, and honestly, so are all of the players.
Now imagine the second approach to the crowded subway conundrum applied to free improv, and that's what you get with Fortunes and Hat-tricks, Vol. 1. On this album, Davis, Duncan and Tiemann cooperate in the truest sense of the word. Here you have three musicians who are acutely aware of the space they occupy…constantly listening to each other, looking at each other, respecting each other. In the end what you are left with is an improvised work that, though completely unplanned, has all the most important elements of composition – direction, focus, melody, development, dynamics, contour, space. Utilizing this rather selfless approach to improvisation, everyone is serving the music and the spirit of the moment and the ensemble…and the reason for doing this in the first place.
It is near impossible to believe the first track, Good Sense Is the Master of Human Life, is the one and only take of a completely unplanned song. So strong is the conviction of each player, so quick is each player's ability to recognize his role and refine his approach, that the listener is positive there is at least a lead sheet or a sketched theme. Surely there were rehearsals. Surely there was discussion of vibe or cues at least. Not so – nothing of the sort in fact. Track 2, the pensive and well-crafted The One You Admire Would Welcome a Gift, like all the other pieces on this album, had never even had its title uttered before the tape began to roll. Even a rambunctious explosion of a song like It Is a Silly Fish That Is Caught Twice With the Same Bait, as busy as it is, has a kind of clarity that only comes from a uniquely deep level of musical coexistence. The three improvisers work as one composer – defining and refining roles, themes and abstractions, while simultaneously leading and submitting, creating canvas and paint and piece all in a moment. Other highlights include the dreamy and at times eery Someone Dreams of Being With You and the abstract yet playful Hat-trick #9.
Take Five With Mike Davis
Below is from today's "Take Five With…" article in All About Jazz. I took a few minutes a while back to answer some questions, and this article is the result. I'm leaving off the Bio stuff from the top of the piece. Enjoy!

I knew I wanted to be a musician when…
I knew I wanted to be a musician immediately upon touching the bass for the first time. I had been an avid record collector as a child, interested in many different styles of music. A friend in high school played bass and I borrowed his sometime around 1986. Immediate reaction! I began taking lessons from David Foster (currently the bassist for Airmen of Note) and he really helped guide me to my first great jazz records. Now He Sings, Now He Sobs, by Chick Corea, was the first jazz record that made me need to play. It blew my mind. I knew I was a musician immediately. It felt right and I've never looked back.
Your sound and approach to music:
For me, music has to evoke a feeling or an image. I have long loved jazz but I have long loathed musical athleticism to no expressive end. Whether playing standards, improvising freely, or interpreting new original material, I believe a mature jazz musician/ensemble uses technique to serve the concept and the vibe- not to show off. When writing I think exactly the same way. I seek to tell a story rather than to create a vehicle on which to blow. The blowing should serve the song and its story in my opinion, not the other way around.
Your dream band:
To be honest, I have recorded with my dream band. I can't think of people better on their instruments and more giving as improvisers and ensemble players than saxophonist Jacob Duncan, guitarists Tim Miller and Niclas Höglind, along with drummers Norm Bergeron and Jason Tiemann. That said, I have always dreamed of playing with Keith Jarrett. Also, I'd love to work with Dave Douglas, Ralph Towner, Bobo Stenson and Jon Christensen.
Road story: Your best or worst experience:
In the summer of 1991, just one month shy of my 19th birthday I was playing with a big band at the Montreux Jazz Festival. It was my first time out of the country, I was young, excited, and ready for adventure. The evening before we were to return to the states, I went skinny dipping in Lake Leman with a few of the guys from the band and some girls we met. Like the 18 year-old numbskull I was, I left my passport in the pocket of my shorts on the beach. Naturally, it was stolen! The next day, I sent my bass with the band to the airport while I worked like a maniac in Geneva filing police reports, visiting the consulate to tell my tale, and having new passport photo taken. I got it done and made it to the airport with only moments to spare. Lessons learned: 1. It would be nice to know at least a little French when in Geneva; and 2. Don't go skinny dipping if you have your passport with you…just don't.
Your favorite recording in your discography and why?
Without question, my favorite recording in my discography is Fortunes and Hat-tricks, Vol. 1. It was 100% spontaneously composed by the ensemble and I feel it is a total success musically. We didn't rehearse, we didn't discuss, and we didn't listen back to a single take in the studio. In each moment we fully committed to the results and the end result was a very pure abstraction conveying the essence of each song title or set of prompts with great empathy and intuition. I am very proud of it.
The first Jazz album I bought was:
The first jazz album I bought was Chick Corea's Now He Sings, Now He Sobs. It absolutely blew me away. For a while I listened but had no idea what I was hearing. Later on, I performed a show in Houston with a trio including Bruce Dudley and Todd Harrison playing all the music in order from the original release. Very fun, very challenging, and totally humbling.
What do you think is the most important thing you are contributing musically?
I believe the most important thing I am contributing to the world is music with an unselfconscious blending of the lyrical and the abstract. By not feeling the need to fit neatly into a particular sub-genre of jazz or even always into the genre of jazz itself, I believe I'm making music that challenges listeners without excluding or disregarding them.
CDs you are listening to now:
Craig Taborn Trio, Chants (ECM);
Paul Motian , Lost In A Dream (ECM);
Enrico Pieranunzi, Dream Dance (Cam Jazz);
We3 (Dave Liebman), Amazing (ECM);
David Bowie, Heroes (RCA).
Desert Island picks:
Keith Jarrett, My Song (ECM);
Keith Jarrett, Belonging (ECM);
Echo and the Bunnymen, Ocean Rain (Korova).
How would you describe the state of jazz today?
I think jazz today is having a major identity crisis. There are some truly great artists but in this current hyper-marketed world (more than ever before) everything is a product, including art. Everything has to have a tweet angle, a Facebook Fan Page, a spinable look and vibe, etc. Edge is fine as long as it's part of the marketing strategy. Requisite hipness is making it hard for folks to listen to their instincts and make real art. There are also very few listeners whose ears haven't been so impacted by current popular music lacking in dynamics, totally pitch-corrected, metronomically steady tempo, drum sounds replaced to avoid any variation, and lead vocals looped from chorus to chorus. Humanity is being drained from popular music and jazz is all about humanity. Fewer and fewer listeners have the patience for jazz. It's more important than ever to do everything possible to reach people who might love jazz, who might love musical risks, and who might love real spontaneity. If only they just heard it.
What are some of the essential requirements to keep jazz alive and growing?
I think in order to keep jazz alive and growing we need to share it with kids. It needs to be a basic part of an education as an important aspect of American history and culture. It shouldn't just be taught to kids who might want to play. Jazz already tends to be played, first and foremost, for an audience of players. It's what makes it feel so exclusive. I think any cultured fan of art in general given an appropriate amount of exposure to jazz at an early age, could appreciate the tradition, the purity of expression, the near psychic level of communication, and cooperation between members of a group when they're really listening, mature, evolved, and trusting. Honestly, there needs to be a significant movement of jazz artists taking themselves seriously as composers of concert music. The pieces and the concepts behind them need to become as important, memorable, and worthy as the ensuing improvisations.
What is in the near future?
I am currently working on several projects as a leader. One is a piano-less quartet album of deconstructed standards. The "new compositions" use the original pieces as starting points employing a variety of compositional techniques. Another project, admittedly epic in scope, is a musical interpretation of Kurt Vonnegut's novel The Sirens of Titan. The project, called Universal Will To Become, is expected to be nine volumes/albums long. The song titles are evocative phrases from the novel itself. The writing techniques are extremely varied. The goal, esoteric to be sure, is to instrumentally explore the novel's "big questions." As producer and bassist, I am working on a trio album with Dallas-based pianist Brad Williams wherein we try to reinvent exceptional pop and rock songs by the likes of Band of Horses and Björk.
What is your favorite song to whistle or sing in the shower?
I catch myself whistling "Blue Monk" way too much.
By Day:
I run a dog walking service in Manhattan.
If I weren't a jazz musician, I would be a:
…can't imagine.
Truly unique and uniquely true…
Fortunes and Hat-Tricks, Vol. 1 is available today on iTunes, eMusic, Amazon, CD Baby, Spotify, Mog….you name it! You can also go directly to the Music Store on the Tmpf Records Facebook page to listen and purchase – http://www.facebook.com/TmpfRecords
here's a little about it:
This is an album featuring me on double bass, Jacob Duncan on Alto Sax and Jason Tiemann on drums. All songs were spontaneously composed by the trio.
There were 2 compositional concepts employed. The first I call Fortunes. I have collected 100's of fortunes from fortune cookies over many years. Each member is given a small pile of them. We take turns drawing them. The 'player' who draws a fortune reads it aloud and then begins the piece. There is no discussion whatsoever about style, tempo, key, mood. We just use the fortune as a jumping off point and as an evocative title. We listen to each other for the development of themes. Truly the only rules are to listen and compose. I use the word 'compose' to suggest that we are not just improvising aimlessly on our instruments, but that we are open to discovering and playing a specific role within each spontaneous composition in order to instrumentally evoke the feeling of the title. Whether we are successful is totally subjective. FYI, we never listened back to anything in the studio. There was no point. Each title is discarded forever once performed live or in the studio.
The second concept employed I call Hat-Tricks. Each player writes some sort of brief instruction for another player on a slip of paper. The instruction can be abstract, musically specific, anything at all. Before each piece, each player draws a slip and reads the instruction to himself. The piece begins when each player agrees they understand their own instruction, but they do not discuss or reveal them to the others. The resulting piece is a collaborative effort where each player is bound only by his interpretation of the brief instruction he drew. Once again, the only rules are to listen and compose.
here's a sample track…enjoy: It Is a Silly Fish That Is Caught Twice With the Same Bait

Southwest couloir route, center of photo:
From whence we came:
On top of Montana!
Hokay, I'm even more psyched to have summitted #49 - Granite Peak - yesterday, the hardest high point after Denali. Woo hoo!!! No time to post much right now--we're on our way to Yellowstone--but here's a report of the much less commonly used route we used. We had quite a bit more icy snow in the couloir so it was technically more challenging for us. Lots of really fun Class 4 and easy 5 rock scrambling and perfect weather conditions were a real treat. I am a very happy camper today. :)

Syria: Kosovo intervention points way to positive outcome (Other Views)
It's been 14 years since the United States, defying Russian obstruction in the U.N. Security Council, launched an air campaign to stop a tyrant's bloody aggression in his own country. With U.S. support, the rebels of Kosovo, then a province of Serbia, were able to repel the army of Slobodan Milosevic and take control of the province. Critics warned at the time that U.S. intervention would sow chaos or empower radicals. Instead it paved the way for the democratization of Serbia, independence for a democratic Kosovo and, at last, the beginning of a reconciliation.
Hashim Thaci, onetime leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army and now the country's prime minister, was in Washington last week to talk about an accord he reached with Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dacic to normalize the two countries' relations. The agreement is remarkable in both personal and political terms: Thaci was once a sworn enemy of Dacic, a close aide of Milosevic, and Serbia's government has never acknowledged Kosovo's independence. The agreement nevertheless calls for Serbia to accept the Kosovo government's authority over all of his territory in exchange for extensive autonomy for areas where ethnic Serbs form a majority.
Struck on April 19, the deal seems to be sticking: A follow-up implementation agreement was reached last month. "It's an unstoppable process at this point," Thaci told us. "I have complete confidence that the implementation will go forward."
The incipient settlement is an example of how Western intervention can stop a bloody and seemingly in trac table ethnic war -- but also of how much effort is required. Since the fighting ended in 1999, NATO has kept a peacekeeping force in Kosovo, including U.S. troops; 760 American personnel are still there. The deal between Thaci and Dacic was brokered through the tireless diplomacy of European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, who oversaw 10 taxing rounds of negotiations.
Fortunately Ashton had something valuable to offer: the prospect of eventual E.U. membership for both countries. Thanks to its decision to come to terms with its former province, Serbia likely will be given a date this month by Brussels for the opening of accession talks, while Kosovo will be invited to begin work on an association agreement. Kosovo would also like to join NATO, which is one reason Thaci was in Washington: He was hoping the Obama administration will press the alliance to take preliminary steps toward admitting his country.
The United States should support that ambition and also press countries that have not yet recognized Kosovo, including several of its neighbors in southeastern Europe, to do so. But the Obama administration would also do well to take a lesson from this history. Limited U.S. military interventions, accompanied by a sustained follow-up and vigorous diplomacy, can save lives and stabilize troubled regions -- even when Russia and the U.N. Security Council don't approve.

River of rain headed toward Bay Area
WEATHER Windy deluge through Sunday - floods, blackouts expected
The respite is over - get ready for a deluge.
An "atmospheric river" of rain will storm into the Bay Area on Wednesday morning and unleash torrents of precipitation across the region through Sunday, forecasters said.
The driving rain and blowing wind will wallop everything from bridges to houses and leaf-covered trees. Small urban floods and power failures are all but guaranteed.
Heavy rain should begin just in time for the morning commute Wednesday and continue until around noon, said Charles Bell, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
Showers will continue on and off through the afternoon, and winds could reach 45 to 55 mph inland and 70 mph on the coast, Bell said.
But that isn't the end.
The sheets of wind and rain will return Thursday and continue into Sunday. The heaviest downpours are expected Friday morning.
Rivers can handle rain
In all, North Bay mountains could see 10 inches of rain and the rest of the region could collect 5 inches by Sunday, Bell said.
"I would not recommend going to the beach," Bell deadpanned.
While the storm will be wet, major flooding of the Russian or Napa rivers remains unlikely, state water officials said.
"It is fairly early in the year, so the watersheds can take all the water you can give them," said Jan Null, a meteorologist with Golden Gate Weather Services. But "there's still a lot of leaves on trees. You're going to see trees coming down and power going out."
Hundreds of Pacific Gas and Electric workers are working 16-hour shifts patrolling problem areas looking for downed lines and shaky trees, said Joe Molica, a company spokesman.
"This is really an all-hands-on-deck situation," he said.
Tree-trimming crews spent Tuesday cutting risky branches away from power lines and will continue last-minute preparations until the weather gets too wet to continue, Molica said.
In San Francisco, San Anselmo, Oakland and almost every other city across the region, municipal crews spent Tuesday filling sandbags and cleaning out storm drains with giant vacuum trucks.
"We got stacked sandbags, tons of 'em," said Earl Boisclair, a dispatcher for the San Rafael Public Works Department.
San Anselmo prepares
In San Anselmo, where heavy floods in 2004 and 2005 soaked 500 buildings in 4 feet of water and caused $30 million in damages, crews started preparing for heavy winter rains months ago.
"We've been doing this annually in preparation for wintertime. We clean out all storm drains, catch basins, any obstructions. We walk the creek and pull out branches," said building official Keith Angerman. "What we're all doing now is pretty much making sure we have shovels and rakes, making sure all town vehicles are filled up with gas, getting ready. There's no scrambling to do anything right now since we've been doing it for months."
In San Francisco, merchants in a Mission District neighborhood notorious for flooding in even mild rain were stewing Tuesday.
"They'll only give us 10 (sand) bags," said Cleto Gonzalez, who owns Hilde-Brand Furniture at 2121 Folsom St. "That ain't gonna cut it. We need at least 30 bags."
Gonzalez's wholesale furniture warehouse sits in a low basin that draws runoff from across the city. At least once every few years, the storm drains fill and spew sewage during heavy rain. Gonzalez spent Tuesday hurriedly calling city officials and pleading for more sandbags.
"We put this new floor in just last time (in April). I don't want to do it again," he said. "When it happens everyone is here, but before it happens there's no one to talk to."
The city's Department of Public Works has 6,500 sandbags stockpiled, officials said.
Not a lot of snow
The storm on the way started near Hawaii, and the warm, wet air isn't expected to bring an extraordinary amount of snow to the Sierra, forecasters said.
"The storm is coming directly from the west, lots of subtropical moisture," Bell said. "There's an atmospheric river coming directly toward the coast."
Roughly 4 to 8 inches of snow is expected to fall Wednesday at 7,000 feet, said Stefanie Henry, a forecaster with the National Weather Service Sacramento bureau. Snowfall will continue until Sunday.
Be prepared
Power failures
Have battery-operated flashlights and radios with fresh batteries.
If your telephone requires electricity to work, plan for alternate communication. Have a cellular telephone ready as a backup.
Use ice-filled plastic containers to prevent food from spoiling in the refrigerator or freezer during a blackout.
Treat all downed power lines as if they are live or energized. Call 911, and then notify PG&E at (800) 743-5002.
Avoid using candles.
Unplug or turn off all electric appliances to avoid overloading circuits and fire hazards when power is restored.

Easter Recipes: Scrambled Eggs in Roast Potatoes & Zucchini Tian
Scrambled Eggs with Green Garlic in a Roast Potato Base
Here's a delicious and elegant egg dish for Easter Brunch! I added green garlic to the scrambled eggs, which gives it a delicate garlic flavor.
Green garlic is immature garlic that has not yet formed a strong, pungent mature bulb and flavor. It is wonderfully delicate and looks like a small leek or a big spring onion:
My inspiration for the roast potato base is a recipe by Gary Rhodes (British Chef) called Cheesy Fondant Potatoes on a Bed of Soft Leeks from the March 2002 Good Food magazine (put out by the BBC).
Here's the recipe:
Potato base:
1 large russet potato per person
2 cups water
1/2 cup milk
1 bay leaf
2 + garlic cloves
olive oil
butter (optional)
Put the water, milk, bay leaf, garlic cloves, and pepper into a wide saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and let the mixture steep.
Peel your potatoes and keep them in a bowl of cold water to avoid them discoloring. Using your peeler, shape the ends of the potatoes so they are nicely rounded. Cut a shaving of potato off one long side so the potato has a stable base. On the top side of the potato, use a sharp paring knife to cut an oval shape down into the potato, leaving about 1/2 '' around the edges (err on the side of edges being too thick). To remove the cut oval of potato from the top, cut the oval into quarters and use your knife to "pop" out one quarter and then cut out the others. I then used a zester to remove and shape the inside (this worked great). Then I tidied up with a grapefruit spoon (which has serrated edges). You'll then have something that looks like this:
Put the potato back in the water and repeat with each potato.
Heat your oven to 400. Put olive oil into an ovenproof dish large enough to hold your potato bases and put it in the oven to warm up as your oven heats.
Turn the milk mixture heat on to lowest simmer and carefully place the potato bases into the milk mixture. Simmer very gently for about 10 minutes until the potato is just becoming tender. Carefully remove the potato bases with a slotted spoon and put on a plate to cool for a moment. Carefully remove any liquid that is trapped inside the crevice.
Put the bases bottom down into the hot oil in the ovenproof dish,dot the centers with butter or a little oil, and cook for about 25 minutes. When the bottoms are starting to brown and crisp, turn the bases upside down to crisp the top and pour the hot oil over the sides. Check in 10 minutes and try to turn the potatoes on their sides and cook for 5-10 minutes each side.
Take the ovenproof dish out and let it sit for 5 minutes. Remove the bases onto a plate with a paper towel to absorb any extra oil. Place on a foil-covered baking sheet and keep warm in the oven at lowest heat (but not for too long).
Zucchini Tian
Here's the perfect vegetable dish to welcome in the spring. This tian is light and tasty, yet substantial enough to be the center attraction of a meal. It can be eaten hot or cold. It's fast, easy, and economical -- a great way to use up leftover rice and eat your greens. Serve with a salad and crusty bread.
3 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 large cloves garlic, crushed
1lb zucchini, chopped
6 oz spinach
3/4 cup cooked rice
2-3 oz Swiss or Gruyere, grated
1/3 cup feta, crumbled
3 eggs, beaten
salt and pepper
fresh breadcrumbs
grated Parmesan
Preheat the oven to 350.
Butter an earthenware dish (mine was 8" x 11").
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion until soft. Add the zucchini and garlic and cook for another 5-6 minutes. Put the spinach in a colander and pour boiling water from a kettle over it. Let it cool and drain, then transfer to a chopping board and chop. Add the spinach, cooked rice, cheeses, and eggs and stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper then transfer mixture to your prepared earthenware dish. Top with fresh breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan. Bake for 30 minutes until topping is light brown.

Family sues over fatal Petite Lake boat crash
The family of a 10-year-old Libertyville boy killed last summer while tubing on Petite Lake is suing the Fox Waterway Agency, accusing it of not implementing boat safety rules on the Chain O' Lakes.
Family members of Tony Borcia in Libertyville are seeking more than $250,000 in damages from the Fox Lake-based agency, saying it did not establish boating speed limits, restrict the size of boats allowed on the waterway, or establish areas where people can safely tube and water-ski as other waterways do, attorney Matthew Dudley of Libertyville said Tuesday.
It amends an existing wrongful death lawsuit in the case and adds the Fox Waterway Agency because it was tasked by state lawmakers to help prevent tragedies like the one that killed Tony Borcia on July 28, 2012, Dudley said.
"The Fox Waterway Agency is tasked to keep the lakes safe," he said. "If Petite Lake is so dangerous, and the Fox Waterway Agency knows this, then they should declare the lake off-limits to tubing."
Attempts to reach Fox Waterway Executive Director Ron Barker and Chairman Wayne Blake for comment were unsuccessful Tuesday.
The agency was added to the existing wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Borcia family against David Hatyina, 51, of Bartlett, and his girlfriend Renee Melbourne.
Hatyina was sentenced to 10 years in prison earlier this year after pleading guilty to being intoxicated with cocaine in his system while driving his 29-foot Baja watercraft nicknamed "Purple Haze" when he struck Tony Borcia on Petite Lake, killing him.
Melbourne was not charged after the crash but was named in the wrongful death suit because, the lawsuit contends, she was a passenger in the boat with Hatyina when the crash took place, helped pay for the boat, and allowed Hatyina to operate the boat while intoxicated.
Under the initial lawsuit, Margaret Borcia and each member of the family who witnessed the crash are seeking more than $50,000 from Hatyina and another $50,000 from Melbourne.
Under the amended lawsuit, each family member is also seeking $50,000 from the Fox Waterway Agency and $50,000 from Spring Lake Marina in Antioch.
Dudley said the marina was added because it rented the boat to Tony Borcia's father, Jim Borcia, and told him it was safe to tube on Petite Lake.
"(The Fox Waterway) knew this wasn't an appropriate place to tube," Dudley said. "Had (Jim Borcia) known ahead of time this wasn't an appropriate place to take his family tubing, he wouldn't have gone there."
A separate lawsuit was also filed against the Fox Waterway Agency to force the state-funded agency to adopt and pay to enforce rules for safe boating, sailing, canoeing and water skiing on the Chain O' Lakes.
That lawsuit was filed by the Y-Not Project Ltd., a not-for-profit corporation created by the Borcia family in honor of Tony and dedicated to stopping intoxicated boat drivers.
The corporation filed the writ of mandamus that, if enacted, forces the agency to adopt reasonable and necessary rules to "allow for safe boating" and other recreational uses on the Chain.
If enacted, the writ would also force the Fox Waterway Agency to budget reasonable funds to enforce safe boating rules and enter into intergovernmental agreements with sheriff's offices in Lake and McHenry counties for marine patrol services.
The suit states the agency has not paid sheriff's offices in those counties for marine patrol services since 2011, despite having agreements with those offices to patrol the waterways.
The two sides are expected to meet in court Wednesday to discuss the lawsuits, which were filed in Lake County court July 26.

Is there a good tutorial for facial hair? I want to do a better job spirit gumming my my manly beard for cross .. and make it nice
Found a nice wig tutorial for making some sort of "ball" or "bun?" that extends further down as well. I read some people were unsure how to do something like this and kinda randomly found it, so I thought I would share.http://community.livejournal.com/cosplay/2713908.html

At the end of that post, there's a link to charmseed's Sailor Moon wig tutorial. I used that, which is the same process for the Chibi Moon wig for the most part, and it worked great. My only advice is that if you think you can straighten long wavy wefts for Sailor Moon's pigtails and NOT have it be a huge pain in the ass, you're wrong. So very, very wrong.
clap i will hug you.... btw there is a way to make it out of foam if you did some math and had a toy model (or made one to enlarge...) but it wouldnt be very breathable
Elmer's glue when dilluted is usually just to get it kind of runny, not to completely water it out. I would ballpark it until it's the consistency of whole milk. Worst comes to worst you can always add more glue.
Honestly, Drauska, I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean with two crosses and wedging stuff, but it never hurts to have another technique out there!

Giant "Twisters" in the Lagoon Nebula
This NASA Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image reveals a pair of one-half light-year long interstellar "twisters" – eerie funnels and twisted-rope structures – in the heart of the Lagoon Nebula (Messier 8) which lies 5,000 light-years away in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius.
The central hot O type star, Herschel 36 (lower right), is the primary source of the ionizing radiation for the brightest region in the nebula, called the Hourglass. Other hot stars, also present in the nebula, are ionizing the extended optical nebulosity. The ionizing radiation induces photo-evaporation of the surfaces of the clouds and drives away violent stellar winds tearing into the cool clouds.
Analogous to the spectacular phenomena of Earth tornadoes, the large difference in temperature between the hot surface and cold interior of the clouds, combined with the pressure of starlight, may produce strong horizontal shear to twist the clouds into their tornado-like appearance. Though the spiral shapes suggest the clouds are "twisting", future observations will be needed, perhaps with Hubble's next generation instruments, with the spectroscopic capabilities of the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) or the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS), to actually measure velocities.
The Lagoon Nebula and nebulae in other galaxies are sites where new stars are being born from dusty molecular clouds. These regions are the "space laboratories" for the astronomers to study how stars form and the interactions between the winds from stars and the gas nearby. By studying the wealth of data revealed by HST, astronomers will understand better how stars form in the nebulae.
These color-coded images are the combination of individual exposures taken in July and September, 1995 with Hubble's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) through three narrow-band filters (red light – ionized sulphur atoms, blue light – double ionized oxygen atoms, green light – ionized hydrogen).
This work is based on public data retrieved from the HST Archive, cosmic-ray cleaned, calibrated and combined by Adeline Caulet (Space Telescope European Coordinating Facility, European Space Agency).

May 21, 2012
[Torrance, CA: Round one of the 2012 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship and Women's Motocross Championship kicked off this weekend at the FMF Hangtown Motocross Classic held in Sacramento, CA. Team Honda Muscle Milk's Ashley Fiolek and GEICO Honda's Justin Barcia both had impressive starts to the season, placing second overall aboard their Honda CRF250Rs.
The Race
Tommy Hahn joined the Team Honda Muscle Milk squad, making his debut this weekend aboard a factory-prepared CRF450R. After placing a solid seventh in qualifying, Hahn rode his way to an eighth-place finish in moto one. After getting another good start in moto two, Hahn went down hard, causing him to fall to the back of the pack. He earned a respectable 13th overall. "I am really happy to have this first race out of the way, and overall am pleased with the results," said Hahn. "Apart from going down in the second moto, I felt good and was having fun. I am looking forward to building off this and improving my results throughout the rest of the season."
In moto one, Team Honda Muscle Milk's Justin Brayton grabbed a mid-pack start and rode a consistent race until going down on the last lap, sending him back to 24th. Still recovering from his crash in the first moto, Brayton rode his way to a 16th-place finish in moto two.
In the 250 class, Justin Barcia grabbed the holeshot in both motos, racing his GEICO Honda CRF250R to third in moto one and securing second in moto two for a second[ overall. "As much as I want to win, being on the podium is a great way to start the season," stated Barcia. Teammate Eli Tomac put together a solid ride in moto one, finishing in fourth. Unfortunately, Tomac went down in the first turn of moto two and was forced to charge his way through the pack. He rode a notable race, making his way up to 10th and clinching fifth overall. GEICO Honda's Wil Hahn rounded out the top 10 with a seventh in moto one and 13th in moto two.
In the Women's Motocross Championship (WMA), Team Honda Muscle Milk riders had an exciting start to the season. Ashley Fiolek grabbed the holeshot in moto one and rode an inspired race all the way to the finish, nailing down the win. She got another great start in moto two but went down, sending her to the back of the pack. She charged her way through the field, finishing in fifth place for second overall. Sayaka Kaneshiro, the newest addition to the team, had the best finish of her WMA career, going 5-4 for fifth overall. Troy Lee Designs/Lucas Oil/Honda's Tarah Gieger went 3-3 for third overall.
The Focus: D.I.D
[D.I.D® has been a longtime Honda racing team sponsor and puts what it learns in competition into the OE products it supplies to Honda and other manufacturers. Spokes, rims and drive chains take an unbelievable beating in the world of professional motocross, which is why the Honda team puts its trust in D.I.D to provide components that can take the abuse of the hardest-riding pro-racers in the country.

EAGLESWOOD TOWNSHIP, N.J. - A magazine from the 1970s with pornographic images of pre-pubescent girls led police to arrest a New York architecture professor after firefighters found the publication while battling a blaze in his home at the Jersey shore.
Shortly before noon on Tuesday, firefighters received a report that the waterfront home of 76-year-old Gamal El-Zoghby was ablaze. They doused the flames, and were checking for hidden pockets of flame behind the walls by pulling down panels of sheet rock, when the magazine fell from behind one of the panels, State Police spokesman Trooper Christopher Kay said.
The home was unoccupied at the time the fire broke out. Some time afterward, El-Zoghby arrived at the house, then went to a nearby State Police barracks, where he was questioned and charged with child endangerment before being released on his own recognizance.
Reached Thursday by The Associated Press at his home in Manhattan, El-Zoghby refused to discuss the case, referring questions to a lawyer who later declined comment.
El-Zoghby is a professor at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y. The school said he is on a leave of absence while its human resources department investigates the case.
Pratt's web site lists him as an undergraduate professor teaching advanced design and a class called "Judgment and Criticism of Architectural Expressions."
He earned a master's degree in architecture from the University of Michigan in 1962 and a bachelor's in architecture from Cairo University in 1958. He has been teaching at Pratt Institute since 1969, according to a Web page from the Cypress Architects Association that includes a photo of the house that caught fire on Tuesday.
According to the website's profile, El-Zoghby taught at City College of New York from 1966 to 1969 and at Alexandria University in Egypt from 1958 to 1960.
The fire heavily damaged the upper reaches of the house, which was well-known in the neighborhood for its unusual angular design, fire-engine-red paint and a rooftop beacon. When firefighters arrived at the edge of the Little Egg Harbor, there was heavy smoke and fire enveloping the second floor.
El-Zoghby designed and built the house in the late 1990s.
In a 1999 interview with the Asbury Park Press, the Egyptian-born El-Zoghby said he incorporated principles of astronomy, mathematics, philosophy and art into the design of his dream house. Its design involved precise geographic east-west and astronomical alignments, and two windows were positioned to capture the sunrise and sunset at the spring and autumn equinoxes, the newspaper reported.
He named the house "The Parousium" from the Greek word "parousia," meaning "presence or appearance."
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Stevia: The Genus Stevia by A. Douglas Kinghorn, ed. 2000.
Provides reviews on the botany, ethnobotany, and chemical constituents of the genus Stevia and examines the chemical synthesis of such compounds as steviol and stevioside. The perceived safety of these compounds has become somewhat controversial in recent years, and a thorough consideration of the pharmacology and biological activity is provided. The final two chapters offer some insight into the various applications of S. rebaudiana extracts and stevioside in Japan and Korea, the two countries with the most extensive use of these food additives at present. Containing numerous up-to-date references, the book will appeal to a wide segment of the scientific community at all levels, especially those in the fields of natural products, pharmacy, pharmacognosy, plant science, agriculture and the food and beverages industry.

- What I Love About My Small Home:
- This is my first apartment, and even though it's so small it's just the right size for me. It feels like a much larger apartment because the office, dining table and living area have their own separate "rooms".
I've managed to fit a lot into a space this small but it doesn't feel cramped; I had a housewarming party where eleven of my friends were here at the end of the night and they all had places to sit!
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- The apartment itself has some quirks; there's no overhead lighting in the main room, very little natural light for most of the day and a kitchen that was almost unusable.
But the biggest challenge was filling the space smartly. When I moved in, I only had a desk, a chair and an air mattress, and what I didn't have was a big budget. It took a lot of measuring and playing around with possible layouts before I could start buying furniture, and even more craigslist searching so I could get the most bang for my buck.

Aerial Hunting is against the law. In 1972 Congress passed the Airborne Hunting Act (AHA) to prohibit hunting or harassing animals from aircraft. Although illegal, a controversial branch of the U.S. Department of Agriculture known as "Wildlife Services" leads airborne predator control programs and killing over a million wild animals every year. According to Idaho Wildlife Fish and Game, soon Idaho wolves could join this growing list.

The FIRST Trailer For Boston Marathon Bombing Film Is Here
We all remember the moving scenes from the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing.
It was one of those moments in time where you remember where you were when you heard about it.
Patriot's Day is the new flick starring Mark Wahlberg based on the infamous bombing, and the teaser trailer has just been released.
Just a two-minute clip, it's eerie how easily transported you are back to that day, right to the centre of the drama, which consisted of the events leading up to the explosion on Boylston Street during the final stretch of the race, as well as after.
Wahlberg is also the executive producer of the flick, and does an incredible job of translating the heartbreak of that day.
Other famous faces to look out for in the clip are those of a very thin John Goodman, Kevin Bacon and Michelle Monaghan.

Nick Lachey and his wife, Vanessa, named their baby son Camden after the road in Los Angeles where their doctor's office was based.
The couple welcomed Camden John Lachey on September 12, and the singer has now revealed the reasoning behind the tot's unusual moniker – he is named after a street in Beverly Hills.
Lachey admits the couple initially discussed calling the baby Colin, but Vanessa wasn't a fan of the name, so they found inspiration after visiting her obstetrician's office on Camden Drive.
The singer tells People.com, "It's kind of a funny story. I've always liked the name Colin. We thought that Colin would be the name. And John is my dad's name. But as we got further into it, I learned that Vanessa wasn't a big fan of the name Colin, so we started looking for another 'C' name… (After visiting the doctor, I said) 'Hey, what about Camden?'
"We didn't really know anyone else named Camden. It was such a neat name. We fell in love with it and decided on it five or six months ago. … He's not named after the city in New Jersey."

One Direction's Zayn Malik Gets a New Puppy for Girlfriend Perrie Edwards
One Direction hottie Zayn Malik and his girlfriend, Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards, are getting serious. Proof? They got a puppy together!
Zayn and Perrie each tweeted photos of their new adorbs furball, asking fans and followers for name suggestions. "New puppy : ) what shall we call him," Perrie wrote. She then added two more tweets (per SugarScape), one merely reading "Z+P" and another suggesting, "How about naming him Hatchi?!" How about not, honestly? That poor pup may have adorable parents, but why give him such a weird name?
In the photos, you can spy Zayn's signature ink -- something Perrie digs about him. "She [Perrie] likes my tatts," Zayn said. "She's into the whole rock n' roll look."
Not only are the pair the proud owners of that super cute puppy, but they're also moving in together. "Zayn just hasn't met anyone like Perrie," a source said. "Zayn's bought himself a house in North London but isn't quite ready to move in there yet. Perrie is going to help him kit the place out — it will basically be their place rather than just Zayn's. Perrie will have her own wardrobe space and will give advice on how it's decorated."
We recommend starting with newspaper over the floors!
