The 2013 NEM was unique, there was not even a single Easterly Wave which affected TN. All the easterly waves either intensified into Depression or Cyclones in their early stages itself. TN missed most of the systems and so the rains missed us resulting in 2nd consecutive NEM failure for TN. The Two Depression which crossed TN gave rains for only for 1 day.
1st system - Very Severe Cyclone Phailin (Most Powerful)
The 1st system to form in October was Cyclone Phailin (October 8 to 15) it nearly intensified into Super Cyclone. It went to Orissa/North AP. Tamil Nadu did not get any rainfall from it. Many places in Orissa got close to 500 mm. Technically NEM set in after this Cyclone. The Cyclone killed around 44 people in Orissa. The cyclone 1st made landfall in Mayabunder in Andaman Islands where it pounded 750 mm rainfall in just 3 days.
2nd System - WML in Andhra Pradesh (Dumped record rains and stood like a Rock)
The second one was a Well Marked Low Pressure Area (WML) (October 20-28). It formed near TN and moved north to AP. This system gave rains to Tamil Nadu for a day or 2. It nearly intensified into a Depression and was a record WML as it lasted around 8-9 days. Andhra got mammoth rains. Kallingapattnam in AP got close to 800 mm. Even Orissa got very Heavy Rains around 200 mm. The Heavy rains killed around 50 people in AP.
3rd System - Deep Depression or 2013 Somalia cyclone (Caused the most Deaths)
The third system of NEM 2013 was Deep Depression (November 8-15). It was a Low Pressure in Comrin Sea near Kanyakumari. It gave good rains to Tirunelveli, Ramanathapuram, Kanyakumari and Tuticorin districts as a Low Pressure. Ramanathapuram and Papanasam got around 400 mm first week of November. The low pressure then intensified into a Deep Depression, nearly became a named cyclone and moved away from Indian coast and made landfall in Somalia in Africa and killed over 140 people. Bandarbeyla and Eyl in Somalia got around 350 mm rainfall while their annual rainfall was just 250 mm. It was one of the worst cyclone to hit Somalia.
4th System - Depression (One day show)
The 4th one was Depression (Novemeber 13-17). Cuddalore, Nagapattinam and even Chennai got good rains (100-200 mm). But it lasted only one day and as it was a Sheared system rains were not so heavy. It travelled from Philippines to TN only to provide only 1 day of rains.
5th System - Severe Cyclone Helen (Surprise of the NEM)
The 5th system was Cyclone Helen (November 19-23) No one including IMD expected it to become cyclone, however it became a cyclone. Then all models predicted it to weaken and take a loop and cross north of Chennai. However it strengthened and crossed Central AP. It was again a complete miss to TN. It caused widespread destruction in Andhra Pradesh. Vishakapattannam and may other places in AP got over 200 mm rains. Rains were also witnessed in Maharashtra. It has to be the surprise Cyclone of this season.
6th System - Very Severe Cyclone Lehar (No rains/winds - a dud)
The 6th System was Cyclone Lehar (November 23-28). Hopes in TN soared as all models initially showed TN as landfall. But this cyclone intensified and as usual it moved to AP . It completely gave a miss to TN. It weakened in the sea and crossed Central AP as a very weak system. There were no heavy rains nor any winds. It should be called as the dud of the year.
7th System - Very Severe Cyclone Madi (It made a rare U-turn)
The 7th System was Cyclone Madi (December 1 to 13). As a low pressure, Ramanathapuram, Tutucorin, Tirunelveli and Kanykumari dts got very good rains with some places getting over 100 mm. However this system also intensified and moved north. All intensified system move north as upper level winds were west to east. But this also weakened and came back to TN in Depression strength. Again it gave rains for only 1 day, Kanyakumari and Villipuram dts got good rains (100 mm). It was also a long lasting cyclone.
8th System - Depression (Spillover of NEM into January 2014)
A break of one month, the Northeast monsoon spilled over into January. It is a common phenomenon. A Depression (January 3-10) formed near Sri Lanka. It gave around 200-250 mm rainfall in Sri Lanka. Then it entered Gulf of Mannar and gave rains to South TN. Papanasam got around 250 mm rainfall. It was a bonus rains to South TN. Even though the rains were from NEM, it counts as winter rainfall for statistical purpose.
This sums up the NEM 2013. There was no monsoon rains from regular easterly waves nor did any of the low pressure/depression stay in TN for 2-3 days providing rains like the one Low Pressure which gave bounty to AP. All the rains were associated with cyclonic systems and as most of then intensified early and thereby moving north and giving a miss to TN. As the cyclones move north the regular NE winds got subdued and thereby resulting in failure of NEM to TN. This is the 1st time in the history we had 4 named cyclones between (October - December).
See you in 2014, NEM Success and failures occur together. From 2005-2011, TN had normal NEM, for past 2 years it was a failure. Lets hope 2014 turns out to be different.

Sure didn't get much snow this winter…and I think we got more during the last few days of March than we did in December, January, and February combined! Definitely the non-winteriest winter in my 10+ years here – we only dipped below zero a handful of times, and snow was pretty much a bust. Ah well. Kinda feel sorry for folks who moved to Great Falls recently – they're probably thinking, "Phft. Montana winters aren't so bad!"
If you need a snow fix, here's a brief clip from March 23rd.

Flow Stagnation under Single and Two-Phase Natural Circulation Conditions in the APEX-CE Test Facility
Department of Nuclear Engineering, The College of Engineering, Radiation Center, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331-4501, USA
Received 30 May 2007; Accepted 29 February 2008
Academic Editor: John Cleveland
Copyright © 2008 José N. Reyes Jr. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
Natural circulation experiments were conducted at Oregon State University using the advanced plant experiment (APEX-CE) integral system test facility as configured to simulate a typical Combustion Engineering nuclear steam supply system. This paper describes the mechanisms by which natural circulation flow was interrupted under single-phase and two-phase natural circulation conditions in APEX-CE.
1. Introduction
Natural circulation is an important means of cooling the nuclear core in the event of a loss of primary system pumps. This paper describes the mechanisms that can interrupt natural circulation in loops transporting single- and two-phase fluids. The investigation of these mechanisms was conducted in the APEX-CE test facility, at Oregon State University [1–7]. A schematic of the test facility is shown in Figure 1. APEX-CE was configured to model a loop Combustion Engineering PWR. It included the reactor vessel with an electrically heated rod bundle, a pressurizer, two inverted U-tube steam generators, four cold legs and reactor coolant pumps, two hot legs, and a safety injection system. The facility had a length scale ratio of approximately 1 : 4 and a volume ratio of 1 : 274. It was operated at decay powers ranging down from 6%. Therefore, the tests were conducted after reactor scram with the reactor coolant pumps tripped in a natural circulation mode of operation.
The motivation for the studies in APEX-CE was an issue known as pressurized thermal shock (PTS). In the event of an emergency that results in a significant loss in system pressure or fluid inventory, cold borated water is typically injected into the primary system via the cold legs. If the flow rate in the primary loop is significant, the cold injected fluid will thoroughly mix with the hot water in the primary loop. However, at very low flow rates, the cold injected fluid will stratify in the loops and form cold plumes in the downcomer. Should a pre-existing flaw in the vessel wall or welds exist at a location experiencing prolonged contact with a cold plume, while at high pressure, there is a potential for the flaw to grow into a "through-wall" crack. Sections 2 and 3 describe mechanisms leading to a loss of primary loop flow.
2. Single-Phase Natural Circulation Stagnation Mechanisms
This section describes the mechanisms that interrupt single-phase natural circulation. Figure 2 presents a simple sketch describing the single-phase fluid natural circulation flow paths. Each loop in the Nuclear Steam Supply System shown in Figure 2 contains a hot leg, a steam generator, a loop seal (i.e., a cross-over leg), a pump, and a cold leg. The flow areas will vary around the loop. Under certain conditions, involving a reactor scram, the reactor coolant pumps in the plant may trip causing a coast down in the loop flow. Subsequent to a reactor scram, reactor decay power continues to heat the fluid in the vessel, while the steam generators continue removing heat at an elevation well above the core. The density difference and elevation difference produce a buoyancy force that drives the fluid around the loop. This buoyancy driven flow is known as natural circulation. The natural circulation flow rate is limited by the friction and form losses in the loop piping and components. The dominant pressure drops in the loop occur in the core and in the steam generator as a result of form losses, usually expressed in terms of loss coefficients, . As shown Figure 2, the primary loop is divided into: a hot fluid side having an average temperature and a cold fluid side having an average temperature .
2.1. Loss of Heat Sink (Steam Generator Reverse Heat Transfer)
One mechanism for losing single-phase natural circulation flow is a loss of heat sink. This can occur as a result of a loss of main and auxiliary feedwater supplies. This could also occur as a result of a main steam line break (MSLB) in a single steam generator in a multiloop plant. In the event of a MSLB, the operators isolate the feedwater to the steam generators and close the main steam isolation valves. The affected steam generator, however, will continue to vent steam and depressurize. The blowdown of a steam generator may result in a rapid cooling of the primary system fluid. As a result, the primary loop fluid temperatures may drop below the secondary side temperatures of the "unaffected" steam generators. The result is a loss of heat sink in the loops not experiencing the steam line break. Figure 3 shows that stagnation occurs in cold legs no.1 and no.3, connected to the unaffected Steam Generator no.1 for this test. Figure 4 shows the flow rates for cold leg no.1 and no.3. When primary side temperature exceeds the secondary side temperature, natural circulation flow is restored.
2.2. Negatively Buoyant Regions in Loop (Loop Seal Cooling)
Another mechanism that can interrupt single-phase natural circulation flow is loop seal cooling. The piping that connects the steam generator lower channel head to the reactor coolant pump is known as the cross-over leg or the reactor pump loop seal as shown in Figure 2. Overcooling transients such as main steam line breaks, result in a primary side cooldown. If the primary side pressure drops below the safety injection actuation setpoint, cold-borated water will be injected into the loop. This water is typically injected into the cold legs of a PWR between the reactor coolant pump and the reactor vessel. Figure 5 is a picture of the transparent separate effects test loop at Oregon State University used to visualize fluid mixing in a side-injection cold leg.
The dense injected fluid simulated, using fluorescent salt-water, falls to the bottom of the cold leg where it spreads out toward the vessel and the reactor coolant pump loop seal. Countercurrent flow is established with hot water at the top of the cold leg pipe flowing toward the injection point. The dense-injected water mixes with the less dense water in the loop seal creating a negatively buoyant region in the loop, effectively increasing the resistance to flow in that loop. For multiloop plants, the flow is preferentially diverted to the adjacent cold leg through the SG lower provided the same condition does not also exist there. Figure 6 shows the asymmetric cooling of two loop seals attached to a single steam generator in APEX-CE. Loop seal no.4 cools faster than loop seal no.2 because the dense fluid back flows over the lip of RCP no.4 earlier during this particular transient. Figure 7 shows that loop flow in cold leg no.4 stagnates earlier than the flow in cold leg no.2.
3. Two-Phase Natural Circulation Stagnation Mechanisms
During a small break loss of coolant accident (SBLOCA) in a PWR, steam generator tube draining will result in a gradual decrease in primary side natural circulation flow until it transitions to a boiling-condensing mode of operation. Figure 8 shows the results of a test conducted at OSU to investigate this phenomenon. The test, OSU-CE-0002, was a stepped reduction in inventory test. In essence, it is a quasisteady SBLOCA. It was conducted at a constant core power of 275 kW and initiated from steady-state single-phase natural circulation conditions. A break valve on the reactor vessel was opened to remove primary fluid in stepped intervals. After a short period, the break valve was closed and the loop was allowed to reach a new quasisteady state flow rate. The cold leg flow rates were measured at each interval. These tests were similar to tests performed at the Semiscale test facility at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory as shown in Figure 9 [6].
As liquid mass is removed from the system, the loop void fraction increases. This resulted in a rise in the loop flow rates above those observed for single-phase natural circulation as shown in Figure 8. At approximately 70% inventory in APEX-CE, the flow reaches a maximum value. This corresponds to the maximum two-phase buoyancy driving head for the test. Eventually, the steam generator tubes begin to drain causing a decrease in flow rate because the distance between the core and steam generator thermal centers has decreased and interruption of flow in the longest tubes.
Figure 10 illustrates the significant difference in draining time for the longest U-tubes at the top of the bundle and the shortest U-tubes at the bottom of the bundle. The long tubes drained much earlier than short tubes. However, some primary loop natural circulation continued until the short tubes drained. These results suggest that to obtain faithful simulations of the steam generator tube draining requires modeling multiple steam generator tubes.
4. Conclusions
Experiments in the APEX-CE integral system test facility indicate that natural circulation under single-phase fluid condition can be interrupted as a result of a loss of heat sink during a main steam line break (i.e., reverse steam generator heat transfer), or as the result of the formation of negatively buoyant conditions in the loop seal. Under two-phase natural circulation conditions, loop stagnation arises as a result of steam generator tube voiding. The loop flow transitions from two-phase natural circulation to a boiling-condensing mode of operation. The APEX-CE tests indicate that the long steam generator tubes drain before the short tubes suggesting that computer code models include multiple steam generator tubes. The formation of negatively buoyant conditions in plants with loop seals can also result in asymmetric loop stagnation under two-phase natural circulation flow conditions.
This test program was supported by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission as part of its review of the technical basis for revision of the pressurized thermal shock (PTS) screening criterion in the PTS rule (10 CFR 50.61).

Autumn brings with it a varied range of seasonal and sensational goodies. From festivals to snuggling under cosy blankets, there is nothing that we don't love about this season. However, one can't help but deny the kind of stuffiness they feel inside their homes during this season.
Spring cleaning is undoubtedly the official period during which you take up the task of cleaning and decluttering, but fall is another time of the year when you need to think about cleaning up. If you are like us, then you will witness a significant increase in the number of hours that your family spends hurdled up in the living room. That's one of the primary reasons why you need to consider cleaning your living room this time of the year. We have assembled all the things that you need to do to keep your living room neat and tidy this fall.
Let's get started with the hectic process of cleaning –
Lamps, light fixtures, and ceiling fans –
The first step of a thorough cleaning during fall will require you to climb up on a ladder. The out of reach places should be the first place where you start your cleaning procedure. Keeping aside the challenge of reaching to the top, ceiling fans are otherwise easy to clean. You must use a microfiber cloth to wipe the blades.
Light fixtures change the look of your room, and that is why it is essential that you clean them on a daily basis. The light bulbs should be cool and at room temperature. Keep in mind that hot bulbs tend to shatter when touched. Unscrew the bulb from the fixture and wipe away all the dust. Replace it again.
Get hold of the cobwebs on the ceiling(if any) as well.
Get ready to clean the baseboards, walls, and decor –
You will feel trapped and suffocated if you don't clean the walls, decor, and baseboard during the fall. All you must do is use a microfiber cloth to wipe down all the knickknacks, picture frames, sideboards, and coffee tables. Next, you have to remove everything from the shelf and then give it a thorough cleaning. Dust all the shelves first and then wipe everything down before you place everything back. Always clean from top to bottom and then move from left to right.
If you are in need of the essential items required cleaning then don't look any further. Check out the great offers at hotozcoupons. This is the place that will offer you discounts all year long.
Clean the carpets and the floor –
When you are done with the ceiling and the walls, it is time you take a look at the floor. More time spent indoors means an increase in foot traffic. At first, make it a point that no one roams around in your house wearing shoes. You can place a mat both inside and outside the main door. This will prevent snow and dirt from outside entering the home. Start with vacuuming your carpets. Make sure you conduct a deep cleaning of your rugs and floor as well.
The drapes, upholstery, and blinds –
Upholstered furniture and curtains or blinds on the windows add life and beauty to your house. But, they do get dirty because they attract all the dust. Use your vacuum and clean all the blinds, upholstery, and drapes. Use every attachment on your vacuum while you are at this task.
You must proceed with an in-depth cleaning session before the beginning of fall.
The heating vents and radiators –
You might not pay attention to the radiators and heating vents in your home but trust us they collect a lot of dust, debris, and dander. The second you switch on your radiator to feel cosy the accumulated dust spreads all around, which can be the reason for sickness. Give the radiators and heating vents a thorough and proper cleaning. You must remember to clean the fireplace as well.
If your apartment had a face, then it would be the living room. This is the place where you welcome and entertain guests. Not to mention the place where you spend your days and nights. Before you proceed with the heavy duty, deep cleaning you must take care of a few small things. Keep your windows open at least once during the whole day. This will improve air circulation. The stagnant air will be out, and you will enjoy the fresh, cold air.

After watching that RIDICULOUS videotape of the chick in her shop getting mollywhopped by 2 other chicks, I was prompted to write about delusional batches who have convinced themselves that acting crazy towards the other woman (or who they THINK is the other woman) is the way to go.
Now, everyone doesn't choose to start PHYSICAL fights with other women over a man but how many women do you know that have done things like start verbal altercations? write blogs? post silly delusional statements in their statuses on myspace, facebook, twitter, etc.? pretend to be your "friend" online simply to stay in your business with the guy they are being delusional about? I'm sure anyone reading this can raise their hand...whether they are the delusional batch or witnessed such events take place.
I've ALWAYS thought this kind of behavior was sad. For one, I'm not an attention whore so I don't want EVERYONE and their momma (including random people who are privy to anything on the internet) to know what MIGHT be going on in my life OR form unwarranted opinions based on nothing more than some retard status I put up. Apparently this isn't the case for wenches who want to tape a totally unnecessary assault and then post it on youtube....or broadcast to instigating people online about their delusional relationship. Yes, if it is your profile, you can post WHATEVER you want (whether it's true or not) but to go so hard in the paint for something that IN FACT, will NEVER belong to you? You're a Grade A Clown and you need to start teaching lessons about how to look like a fool without really trying...cause you look like a fool.
1st off....any man who doesn't claim you as his woman, well, you have no business being a ride or die chick for him. IF he gave 2 shats about you, he wouldn't allow compromising situations to happen that would endanger you or put you at risk of looking like a complete and utter fool. Granted, there are some situations where that really is your dude but he's being a smut pony, gallivanting around with whoever will let him manipulate their mind into thinking he might be "the one". Sometimes these smut pony's will make the jump off or filler chick THINK she is far more important than she really is. If he has not had any kind of conversation that FLAT OUT says "yes, you are my girlfriend", you need to learn your place and stay in your lane. You have no confirmation that this is REALLY your man so don't start planning a life with Smut Pony because he said "I love you". If I had $5 for every man who said "I love you" and for every time he said it, I wouldn't have to work for this insufferable man I am currently employed by.
2ndly...even if he is being Slick Rick with your delusional tail and has LIED to you telling you that you are the only one for him when you were aware he was dating someone before your delusional azz came along, don't go picking fights with the other chick. What are you 8 years old? Is this the playground? If you find something of concern, bring it to his attention...CONSTANTLY...until you get the truth out of him. He'll either play dumb and stick to that facade the entire time he's trying to get and stay in your drawls OR he'll give up trying to mind f*ck you and move on to someone who is a little more susceptible to a deeper level of delusion.
3rd...do I really need to go on? Just please...STOP BEING DELUSIONAL. It isn't cute and not only are you lying vehemently to yourself, you look like you need to be checked into an insane asylum to the general public who has ALWAYS laughed at you, your statuses, videos, and ridiculous blogs that you somehow think will rally followers to your foolishness.

With December upon us, we are now truly heading toward Christmas. And in recent weeks here in Devon we have had our first frost, our Christmas hampers have debuted online, and the Christmas lights have been switched on!
Take a look at Plymouth, leading the way on the 15th November.
The grassy areas in the centre of the city were blanketed with fake, paper-based snow, a snow globe was installed in Armada Way and the lights were switched on by local paralympic hopeful Ash Jackson, after a 200+ handmade lantern parade through the city. Plymouth often makes a big show of Christmas, with recent years seeing ice skating in the city centre, a yearly Christmas market and a visit from the Coca-cola Christmas lorry, and the local people turn out in droves to enjoy all it has to offer at this magical time of year.
Tavistock Dickensian Evening
Nearby in Tavistock, a far more traditional affair can be found in the form of the renowned Tavistock Dickensian Evening, which regularly attracts 12,000 visitors to the town. Held on the last Friday in November, the olde worlde streets are decorated with lights and crowded with local shop keepers and residents donning their best traditional attire, and offering mulled wine, mince pies and hog roast to shoppers until late in the evening. The town is also dotted with stilt walkers, fire eaters, morris dancers, donkeys and entertainers, to make a really magical and festive evening of merriment for all.
Devonian traditions and festive spirit abounds at this time of year. But fear not, dear reader, if you cannot reach us to help us celebrate. At Devon Hampers, we have designed a way to bring a slice of the 'proper' Devonshire Christmas to you!
We have personally designed plenty of hampers that can bring a Devon Christmas direct to your door, with mince pies and clotted cream, warming Devon Ciders and even a few with the full works, these hampers are sure to put you in a festive mood in time for the big day.

Preorders Open for Portal Games' 51st State Master Set
Your goal is to build a new State in this post-apocalyptic world. Whether you command merciless Mutants or brave New Yorkers, your aim is always simple and clear – conquer new lands, incorporate new regions, and destroy everyone who is of no value. How will you achieve this? It's pretty simple – the highest score wins the game. Pretty novel, huh?
Portal Games is currently running a preorder campaign for the revitalization of their hit card game 51st State in the form of the 51st State Master Set. 51st State is a competitive game that takes place in the unforgiving, post-apocalyptic work of Neuroshima Hex. In the game, players take control of a faction such as New York, Appalachian Federation, Mutants Union, or the Merchants Guild and, by levying the power of his faction, build a new state: a 51st state.
The core design and mechanisms of the game resemble that of Portal's popular game Imperial Settlers, which is itself a redesign of the core mechanisms of the original 51st State card game. The new 51st State Master Set will include a complete redesign of the original version of 51st State, as well as new editions of New Era and Winter, the original expansions for the game. The boxed set includes:

Former White House spokesman donates to newspaper fundraiser
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci has donated to a fundraiser for Capital Gazette shooting victims.
The Baltimore Sun reports Scaramucci told WNAV-AM in Annapolis that it's important "we do everything we can to maintain the institution of the free press and the commitment to the First Amendment."
The hedge fund financier wouldn't say how much he gave Sunday at a benefit that raised more than $10,000 for the Capital Gazette Families Fund.
The Michael and Jacky Ferro Family Foundation is matching up to $1 million in donations to the fund. A banker with offices in the same building as the Capital Gazette gave $100,000, as did the Merrill Family Foundation. A Bloomberg Government reporter raised more than $200,000 on GoFundMe.

This picks up where the previous excerpt left off...
Sunday, 2:05 pm
"We've been wandering all over the city looking for her," Mrs. Edquist said.
"And you're certain she's in Toronto?" I asked.
Mrs. Edquist, in a basic pair of navy gabardine slacks and a rather ugly white and blue polka dot blouse with batwing sleeves, was sitting on the edge of a neatly made bed in a standard room at the Best Western Hotel downtown. Her hair was neatly combed and a few grey roots were poking through. Her husband, a seemingly affable, middle aged man with a bit of a paunch, was pacing back and forth in front of the window, and I was in the beige vinyl club chair beside the bolted-down television. Mrs. Edquist was calm and businesslike right now, but her red-rimmed eyes told me she'd cried more than a few tears of worry over her daughter this morning.
"Her friends all said she was coming here. Macy always talks about getting out of Peterborough and coming to the big city. She says small towns stifle her."
Macy is the sixteen-year-old angst-ridden, angry Goth offspring of Mr. and Mrs. Small Town Middle Class. Peterborough, about an hour and a half from Toronto, began as a farming town, then became a factory town of sorts, and now was mainly a university town. Mom and Pop both had administration jobs at Trent University, she in the Registrar's Office and he in Alumni Affairs. The daughter in the photo looked like she would prefer hanging out in dodgy back alleys with a bunch of skinheads rather than trying to decide on her eventual major. Her dyed black hair was shaved about an inch above both ears. She had on way too much black eyeliner, and seemed to be sneering at the camera.
"Well, Mrs. Edquist, a lot of runaways end up here. Has Macy taken off from home before?"
"Please, call me Phyllis."
"And call me Harold. Or Harry if you prefer. She's taken off four or five times in as many months," Mr. Edquist said. "But she always comes back in a couple of days. This time it's different. She's been gone almost a month."
"We had to come here to look for her. We couldn't just stay home and wait for the phone to ring." Mom's voice cracked a bit.
"The Toronto cops were no help?" I already knew the answer. There was little the police could do since, at sixteen, Macy was no longer a child.
"No. We tried, and they were sympathetic, but impotent. We've put up posters all over downtown. We've canvassed the streets where we've seen kids hanging out. None of them could help us," said Phyllis.
Pierced and tattooed teens hanging around the usual inner-city haunts wouldn't be inclined to speak to such examples of Suburban White Bread under any circumstances. Rebellious youths would stay mum out of spite just because the Edquists had "Conformist Parental Units" written all over them.
"Where have you been looking?" I asked.
Mr. Edquist rattled off a list of neighbourhoods and intersections. Parkdale, the Eaton Centre, Yorkville, College Street.
"And when have you been doing this?" I asked.
"Since the week after she left."
"No, I mean, what time of day?"
"We hit the streets right after breakfast, and keep going, off and on all day, until suppertime, maybe five thirty or six."
"That's your mistake. The goths and punx and emos and phreaks don't even start to come to life until noon. I'll begin looking in the late afternoon and go until two or three in the morning."
"Thank you so much for helping us. Harold and I can't take any more time off work. We've used up all of our vacation days. We're not exactly poor, but we can't afford to take unpaid time off work. We still have a mortgage."
I was reluctant to bring up the subject of my fees.
"Today's our last day in Toronto, we're going to check out soon, and drive home. We both have to be back at work tomorrow."
"I'll give it a whirl, but only for a couple of days. I don't want to waste my time or your money."
I gave them the contract I had tucked into my purse. The bleeding heart in me wanted to help these folks. Sympathy prompted me to shave about twenty percent from my usual rates. They gave me all the info they could on Macy Edquist, plus a few more photos. We shook hands, and I bid them farewell, already feeling guilty that I would be profiting from their pain and worry.
Such is life. I've got to make a living. I can bartend at fetish parties only so often.

Ten Years. Aaaaahhhh…..Thursday, October 5th, 2006
Brian and I were married ten years ago today. I can not explain what a comfortable thing it has been to live together this decade. He's such a good person, easy to live with. When I'm acting unbalanced he just watches from the wings until I come to my senses. He doesn't try to fix me, he doesn't yell, he doesn't tell me what to do or not to do.
I knew I could marry Brian when I made homemade cookies and then realized I'd eaten the last one without worrying, even thinking of what he'd say/do if I left none for him. I was not afraid of him or what he'd say/think/do if I surprised him by not leaving him the last cookie. This was symbolic of the rest of our relationship. I could trust him to take me just as I was. I did not have to try to read his mind (which would not work, anyway).
That may not seem big to you. I had my share of fear and unhappiness in the first several decades of my life. Nobody ever beat me up but words and attitudes can make a person shrivel inside. Brian treats me with respect even when I'm acting more like a toddler than an adult. He gets it that I can live like a bit of an emotional rollercoaster and it's not about him. He doesn't have to fix me, and if he waits long enough the familiar adult Lynn will re-appear. We have a relationship with boundaries that work.
And I'm crazy 'bout him! We just sat for over an hour and rehearsed our music. It was the most fun jam session I've had in a long time. Just me and my sweetie, a large handful of really fine songs, and enough time to play as long as we wanted to play.
Life's true meaning is about the little things. Music with your sweetie on one day, after a previous day working together on making the house more workable… well, that works for me. Simple everyday pleasures are where we can create our overall feelings about life.
Brian and I don't usually expect gifts for holidays. If we give them, they are typically small and it's fine if one person gives and the other does not. Brian has taught me to skip the gift if it is not "right." Better no gift or a late one, than money and time/energy expended on something that really does not have meaning or value.
My mother very much wanted to throw a party for us, for this milestone anniversary. She's so happy for us she wanted to invite both our families and have a celebration. We may still do it, but for the actual anniversary day we both work till about 8-8:30pm and we will just take ourselves out to dinner after work. We'll enjoy peaceful, quiet time together.
I tell you, my life just keeps getting better. Brian is a very large part of it. Believe me, I let him know how I feel. Life is short and I make sure to speak my feelings out loud.
I may not post a blog entry in the next 24 hours. If I don't, you need not worry. I'll be back.
Photos: 1)The only wedding photo I have that is scanned into digital format. I scanned it so long ago that it was in .gif format and it lost a lot of detail in the process but you can see we're happy. (Note that my wedding dress was a turquoise silk gown, it's really beautiful and I still wear it when we sing on stage sometimes.) 2)Me, as Eudora (my dance persona), dancing at Aladdin's restaurant last April. That's Brian in the back watching me dance. I love this photo. (This dress I purchased in Cairo in December 2004… it has quite a story of its own.) 3)Brian and I performing at our CD Release Party at Magdalena's Teahouse last June. (That's yet a third turquoise dress, for the record.)

The Brewery
Sly Fox Brewery is an award winning Pennsylvania brewery. The original Sly Fox Brewhouse & Eatery was founded by the Giannopoulos family at its original Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, location on December 20, 1995. The name of the establishment came out of a family meeting from the tradition of fox hunting in the Chester County area, where the first Sly Fox location resides. (Source)
The Beer
This malty, full-bodied red ale is made with traditional mulling spices: Ginger, Clove, All Spice, Cinnamon & Nutmeg. If this one doesn't get you into the Christmas spirit, you truly are a Scrooge. (Source)comments powered by Disqus

Ruin Pubs
Author: Anothertravelguide.com0 COMMENTS
Like Vienna, Budapest is a city of cafés. Its famed historic cafés can still evoke a reflection of the lustre of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's past. It's said that there were more than 500 cafés in the city in the late 19th century. Under Socialism, the regime looked askance at the good life, and many were closed. Nowadays they're back with a vengeance, giving Budapest a kind of carefree air that makes Hungary's capital a centre of old world joie de vivre. The current century, however, has added an entirely new phenomenon to the café scene - romkoscma, or "ruin pubs", as they are known.
In a decade, this inimitable phenomenon, with no real equal in any other European city, has become a kind of movement - the creation of cafés in abandoned buildings destined for demolition. You can find ruin pubs in derelict apartment buildings, shuttered cinemas and closed factories. These dilapidated structures get a fresh breath of life that allows them an alternative existence. There's no facelift. The cobwebs might get swept out (with an emphasis on might), but otherwise - the space is utilized as is, making do with whatever is left of it. The tossed aside bouquet that is the site's unique dereliction is merely supplemented with similarly discarded objects - the furnishings of former cinemas, cafeterias or shops, or whatever trove might be unearthed in a forgotten cellar or in a grandmother's attic. At first these places were popular mostly among younger people - by now, almost everybody in Budapest has a favourite ruin pub. Over the years, the romkoscma have changed, too - they're no longer just places to drink, since many of them host art exhibits, concerts, theatrical performances and diverse happenings.
There are more than a dozen ruin pubs in Budapest at the moment. Most are in the 7th District, the old Jewish Quarter - the Bohemian atmosphere gets the area compared to Kreuzberg in Berlin. Geographically, this is the heart of the city - it's only a few minutes from the elegant boulevards. If you wander in unawares, however, you might get the feeling that you've fallen into a time warp. Buildings that preserve an aura of Habsburg ostentation stand cheek by jowl with the concrete monsters of imposed Socialism. Here and there a "for sale" sign beckons, next to a sealed window. The pulse of life and something outside time come together. Some of the older buildings look like nothing has touched them since the war. Some structures seem like they've seen no one since. This was indeed the site of the Jewish ghetto during the war. Crooked, cracked facades remind of aristocratic faces fallen upon despair and doom, still giving glimpses of a forgotten glory. Wandering through this rather surreal landscape, you come upon a door with no visible sign. You feel that the gateway leads somewhere. You go in. You enter a courtyard. The courtyard likely leads to another courtyard. Then to yet another courtyard. These labyrinthine wanderings are without end - ruin pubs have no laws, no identifiable structure, and no real association. They offer a space, and action takes place spontaneously within. All of them are similar in that they are kind of chaotic, and always eclectic. The atmosphere of each, however, is wholly unique.
The most legendary ruin pub is doubtless Szimpla Kert (Kazinczy u. 14; www.szimpla.hu). It means "simple garden." Opened in 2001, it has shifted locations many a time. It's been where it is now since 2004. This is hardly an unknown place - as it's featured in Lonely Planet, it's a café where you're as likely to hear loudly spoken American English as you are to hear Hungarian. Even so, the Szimpla is one of the most colourful ruin pubs, and the location is unforgettable - it's in what was once an ornate building, on the verge of collapse. The facade is already disappearing - only crumbling brick remains.
Potted flowers on the practically non-existent balconies lend the place a ghostly but vibrant ambience. Tim Burton and Johnny Depp could have a surreal lunch here, and this could be a stage set. As in any ruin pub, the courtyard is centre stage. On the margins, there are various niches and diverse bars. A Trabant, the classic automotive relic of East Germany, considered one of the worst cars ever produced, has been turned into a table. In the courtyard's chaos, it looks as though it has accidentally been stranded here. Nothing, no matter how weird, seems out of place - a telephone handset is the knob to the door of the women's room, but whether this is intentional design or whether the real knob was simply somehow lost is unknown.
As in most ruin pubs, you can not only drink but also eat here. There are exhibits, movie festivals, and unpredictable, spontaneous performances. Once there, wander over to nearby Akacfa utza and check out Fogaz ház (at No. 51) un Sufni g'art'n (at No. 47). The first address has gone beyond a ruin pub to become a real cultural centre, with important exhibits of local contemporary art. There's cinema in the evenings. The second address is fresh. The interior is an odd work of art all by itself - one bar is composed of old picture frames, whilst another sports what appear to be retro meat grinders. It's an experience, like the wall covered with Soviet-era TV sets and tennis rackets. Reading materials abound. A recently graduated conservatory student offers piano lessons to anyone of any ability. A little further in and you'll come upon a weird room decorated with oriental carpets, miniature hockey paraphernalia, and a gigantic fish competing with an overturned bicycle hanging from the ceiling. Nothing here makes any sense at all, but you may finally realize that the ruin pub phenomenon doesn't have to make sense.
One thing you must know, though - the primary characteristic of a ruin pub is that it is ephemeral. They're situated in places that can disappear, be sold, or suddenly restored. Or it could be that neighbours complain about their existence and the noise they generate. They could get shut down without notice. Then they go underground and perhaps pop up elsewhere. Some are only open in summer. Some all year. Before you try to seek out a ruin pub, check www.ruinpubs.com for the latest news.

"I wish I'd had this book when I first started graduate school in theology. Veeneman picks out a large number of major theological movements and calmly rehearses their methodological commitments. She catalogs their sources, their orienting questions, and their starting points, sometimes comparing them to each other but rarely declaring her own judgments. The result is almost a cheat sheet, letting students know in advance what to look for as they go on to read these authors."
--Fred Sanders, Torrey Honors Institute, Biola University
"Veeneman offers us a wide-ranging and sympathetic study of theologians from a variety of traditions and schools of thought, allowing the reader to make independent judgments. This is an ideal introduction for students coming from many different perspectives. Nobody can relate equally well to every modern theologian, but this book will help us evaluate the approaches of those with whom we disagree as well as deepen our understanding of our own mentors. Highly commended!"
--Gerald Bray, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University
"A paradigmatic book for students of theology as it sketches with skill the context and method of the most important theological voices of the last century. Moreover, it does not tell students how to do theology but shows how great thinkers do theology, leaving the student with a diversity of approaches and the challenge to discover what will be best for that student."
--Scot McKnight, Northern Seminary
"Introducing Theological Method offers students a clear, cogent argument for the why and how of theology. Veeneman not only introduces us to key theologians and theological movements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries but also illuminates their historical context to show how theology and historical location must be viewed together."
--Lynn H. Cohick, Wheaton College
"This introduction will generate helpful encounters with important modern theologians and movements--some who are well known, others who have been neglected. The variety of their approaches will challenge and enrich those of us who seek to be biblically faithful, ecumenically traditional, gratefully evangelical, and globally engaged theologians."
--Daniel J. Treier, Wheaton College Graduate School
"Written by a scholar of considerable ability, this book is designed for beginning students. Its clear writing, engaging style, and dependable scholarship make it certain to find its way into many course syllabi."
--Bradley Nassif, North Park University

text: You have finally finished exams and your holiday shopping, and you are on your way home for great food and relaxation. In fact, you could be categorized as a professional at this. You catch up on all the sleep you missed throughout the semester, you get together with high school friends, you watch tons of TV shows and movies, and read your favorite magazines. But your winter break needs to be much more than this! Here are some additional things you should be doing over the break:

The compilation of medieval Gregorian chants most closely connected
with Riga and the history of music that was sung in this city during
the Midle Ages. Even though the origins of Gregorian chants go back
to the 8th and 9th centuries when they were performed in monasteries
by monks as praise to God, they remained a significant part in the
musical pattern of public worship in Western churches for many centuries.
This program allows us to turn the pages of the most ancient known
musical history of Riga and offers the opportunity to yield to the
original melodic beauty of Gregorian chants and peaceful meditation.
The program is recorded on CD
The compilation of various spiritual chants on the subject of light.
The program concept is based on the point of intersection and synthesis
of two different ages and musical styles. On the one hand these
are medieval chants, including the Gregorian plainsongs, Ambrosian
hymns, medieval dancing songs, an ancient Jewish song Ma navu and
samples of early polyphony. On the other hand – saxophone and percussion
As a result of this dialogue a completely new and surprising interplay
is born in which each musical element plays a role of its own and
yet merges with others to create a meditatively colourful picture
of sound.
The program is recorded on CD
Gegorian chants accompanied by spiritual impressions of synthesizer
in cooperation with Raimonds Tiguls. The core of this program is
one of the best known Gregorian mass De Angelis.
The content of this program is based on a theme that has been surrounded
by mystery in all times but has nevertheless always seemed close
to many people – on angels. You can also hear the Michaelmas chant,
a much earlier composition written circa the 9th century which belongs
to the most beautiful medieval chants.
The program is recorded on CD
This program is a meeting of two era and music styles. On the one
hand – beautiful Gregorian and medieval chants including early polyphony
for instance spanish spiritual songs. On the other hand – percussion
improvisations (marimba, drums, bells, xulophone) which is like
a bridge between times and styles. Such dialogue creates a unique
atmosphere where past meets present.
The program consisting of Gregorian and Ambrosian chants represents
a pilgrimage theme that has been actual in all times. All the humans
life is like a pilgrimage with its longings and spiritual seekings
that accures in both inner and outer world. Female solo voice in
this program symbolizes the continuous Divine presence during the
During the Advent – Veni Emmanuel
During the Passion Week – Deus meus
At Easter – Resurrexi
At Pentecost – Veni Creator

Tougher gun laws targeting gang members, bikies and terrorists have passed Victoria's upper house.
Under the laws, police will be able to impose a firearm prohibition order on someone as young as 14, banning them from acquiring or carrying a gun and meaning they can be searched without a warrant.
The orders would target those with a history of crime, criminal association or who posed a risk to public safety.
The Andrews Labor government bill passed the Legislative Council on Tuesday night with an amendment to allow shooters to sell firearms online without a dealer.
The amendment was brought on by the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party and the bill needs to return to the lower house for final approval.
Premier Daniel Andrews earlier labelled the legislation a "game changer" for police and said it should pass without amendment.
The government also accused the coalition of stalling the bill but this was labelled a "desperate lie" by opposition leader Matthew Guy.
"We will move some amendments but if they do not get up we will vote for it," he said earlier on Tuesday.
One of the proposed changes was to reduce the time frame of an order from 10 to five years for adults.
Mr Guy said the government had the opportunity to pass the legislation at the end of last year but didn't.
Police Minister Lisa Neville disagreed, and said she wanted "to give the opposition every opportunity for this to be a bipartisan supported piece of legislation".
Police had been consulted over some minor changes that "they could live with" but the opposition rejected it, she also said.

To tell you the truth this could be the straw that broke the camel back as I've been unhappy with IT support and the cost to business. I may move the site to new designer and server. To improve the service for you my members and upgrade the site.

Just home from the lamest night out. This was supposed to be my going away party, and, well, essentially, none of my friends gave a shit. Okay, I've only got two friends in town, but neither of them gave a shit.
M's finally got a job, was working all day, and claims to be too shattered from work to go out after. (WTF! He's never before been too tired to go out on a 'school night'. Back in the day, he'd work all day, hit the pub after work, stay out all night, and then go straight to work buzzing the next morning.)
D said that she was broke and couldn't afford to go out because 'I've got to get money together for a London flat by the end of the month'. (She's moving out of the rent's house and getting a flat with a friend near work. The way she's going on about it, it's like she's the only person on earth who's ever moved into a flat. Like I know how expensive it is…I'm moving into a flat too…hell, I'm moving into a flat by myself on the other side of the country.)
So we just went to the pub, and no one really said anything, and no one wanted to drink, and it was dead boring, and I'm actually quite upset because these are my best friends since forever and they aren't even giving a shit that I'm moving. It was like I was fucking making them go out, and you know what, I'm just not in the mood for this. I've got too much to do. Too much to deal with and I just don't give a shit either.
Good night.

My A/C blows hot air for a moment then blow cold few minutes and then hot again and cold, eventually blow hot.
Refilled freon, replaced refrigerant pressure sensor, replace auxiliary water pump still blow hot air.
OBDI scanner still said "9304 M13 heating water circulation pump open circuit".
Is there auxiliary water pump (heating water circulation pump) relay or fuse?
Please advice.
God Bless,
No, I have not. but I took the car to shop for other reason and told them the AC issues and they checked and adjust the freon pressure.
Basically it was too much freon. after that it worked for a moment ( 2 hours) then went back to same as before.
I guess I have to go to the repair shop.
good luck.

Arden International Motorsport's continued growth in junior single seater formulae continues in 2017 with announcement that Zane Goddard and Ghislain Cordeel will race for the team in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 Series.
Australian Goddard and Belgian Cordeel have signed alongside the already confirmed Dan Ticktum, who comes into the championship as a new name in the Red Bull Junior Team programme.
Goddard moves into the championship following a race winning campaign in British Formula 4, taking the chequered flag first on four occasions, and tested with Arden in 2.0-litre machinery during winter testing.
"I am super excited about the season ahead," said Goddard. "To be racing with Arden in the Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup Championship is amazing. Arden has proved time and time again that they can win races in all championships.
"After my first test with the team, I could straight away see the determination to succeed amongst every member of the team. I have no doubts that by race one of the season we will have a super competitive car and all the tools to achieve big things.
"I strongly believe that Formula Renault is the perfect next step to improve myself as a driver. The field will be ultra-competitive and also having the opportunity to race at so many big name circuits such as racing at Monaco on the Formula 1 weekend will be so beneficial in years to come.
"I am now just super eager to get started working with the whole team and to hit the track. I think it's fair to say the first test couldn't come around soon enough."
Cordeel makes his full-time debut in the championship in 2017 after racing in selected races in 2016 at Paul Ricard, Spa-Francorchamps and Estoril, taking a best finish of thirteenth along the way.
"Wherever you race on earth, the guidelines will always be in English," said Cordeel. "Names like pole position.. Flying finish.. Gentleman start your engines.. They all came from that wonderful country called England!!
"So the best thing that can happen to a real racing driver is to race for an English team! Racing is my life!"
