This visualization uses data from NASA satellites, combined with mathematical models in a computer simulation, to study the physical processes in our atmosphere.
By following the sea salt that is evaporated from the ocean, you can see the storms of the 2017 hurricane season. During the same time, large fires in the Pacific Northwest released smoke into the atmosphere. Large weather patterns can transport these particles long distances: in early September, you can see a line of smoke from Oregon and Washington, down the Great Plains, through the South, and across the Atlantic to England.

The following is a review of the Logitech G903 LIGHTSPEED Gaming Mouse with POWERPLAY Wireless Charging Compatibility, received as part of the Amazon Vine program.
Until a few years ago my last experience with a wireless mouse was with some model by HP. In addition to a poor battery life, I went through two charging stations before I finally gave up.
However, a few years ago I was given the option to take a Logitech M310 back to my work desk and give it a try. After only a couple of days I was converted, and I immediately picked up not just an M310 for home, but also a Logitech M510, so that I’d have one for home and one for my laptop bag.
Fast foward a bit and when I was building my gaming PC I decided to stick with Logitech, and picked up a Logitech G502 Proteus. While wired, I figured for gaming I would still rather have a wired mouse, and the option to make the mouse heavier or lighter was appealing.
Fast forward to a little over a month ago, I was given the option to try out the wireless Logitech G903. However, in addition to being wireless the G903 can be plugged in via USB so that it can be used as a wired mouse, and recharged. However, since I don’t get to much PC gaming these days, I instead opted to bring it into work where it would be getting a full use 5 days a week.
First, the free software is pretty much required if you want to customize the mouse’s light display, which isn’t too surprising. This is also the best way to find out the current charge level of the mouse, although there are three lights that will show that information as well.
To use the mouse you must use the included USB cable to either plug in the mouse or the wireless adapter. For a PC, this isn’t a big deal. For a laptop, you’ll want to probably look at a bluetooth-capable mouse. I personally put the adapter on the top of my desk so that I could easily charge the mouse when it was low on battery.
Speaking of which, I did have the mouse die on me once. After plugging the mouse in I was able to immediately start using it. Not having to place the mouse in a cradle to charge is fantastic.
Wired or wireless, I experienced no issues with lag. I’m a web developer, and while I use keyboard shortcuts a lot, I’m usually bouncing around web pages for debugging, starting up various applications, or clicking around as I troubleshoot. No issues at all.
The only real problem I have with the Logitech G903 is how light it is. I wish it had more weight to it. And this isn’t because of how much I use the G502. My mouse at work was still a M310, which is pretty light. But the G903 seems like it should be heavier. Given that it’s marketed as a gaming mouse, it would be fantastic if it featured what the cheaper G502 has with modules that can be added/removed.
I’m going to continue to use the Logitech G903, however, it’ll stay at work and my Logitech G502 Proteus will continue to be my PC gaming mouse.
It’s for these reasons that I give the Logitech G903 LIGHTSPEED Gaming Mouse with POWERPLAY Wireless Charging Compatibility four of five stars. It’s a great mouse, which I think is missing a feature that it should have for the price it has.
The last weeks of October is always a favourite time of mine. The air is cooler and it is rainy with the occasional glorious sunshiny day. The trees are resplendent in their red, gold and yellow foliage.
The end of October is also the time when authors, poets and readers from across the globe descend upon Vancouver for the widely acclaimed Vancouver Writers’ Festival.
The festival is a week-long extravaganza of readings, performances, intimate talks and special events. The only problem is choosing which events to attend and getting tickets before they sell out.
After poring over the festival schedule, my good friend and fellow Novel Thinker, decided on two events that we most wanted to go to — This Really Happened, an event that we loved from last year and The Literary Cabaret, one of the most popular events.
The first event, This Really Happened, featured five authors who spoke, not about their work or their latest books, but instead gave a short talk about something that, you guessed it, really happened. The rules around this talk is that the story must be true and the author give it without the aid of any notes. The authors: Iain Reid, Zoe Whittall, C.C. Humphreys, Lisa Charleyboy, and Omari Newton, stood up in front of the audience in turn, microphone in hand, and shared with us a moment in their lives that heralded their coming of age. Some of the narratives were hilariously funny, some were sweet and some were incredibly sad and heart-breaking. The audience was honoured with a glimpse of the writers’ personalities in a way that was more intimate and personal than if they had shared a passage from their work instead of a piece of their own history.
At the Literary Cabaret, six authors read selections from their latest works, accompanied by music led by Sal Ferreras and his band, Poetic License.
Over the summer, Mr. Ferrerars reads each author’s book and chooses music to complement each author’s selection. He and his band have 30 minutes to rehearse with the authors before the show. The result — a mesmerizing performance unlike any other. Each reading, unique and powerful, enhanced by music that transported us to the heart of the authors’ words — it was magical.
The authors that were showcased at this year’s Lit Cab, were Anosh Irani, reading from his new novel, The Parcel, journalist and novelist, Susan Perly reading from her book, Death Valley, Irish Poet, Billy Ramsell, sharing poems from his collection, The Architects Dream of Winter, Madelien Thien, reading from her novel, Don’t Say We Have Nothing, Alexander Chee, reading a passage from his new novel, Queen of the Night and Iain Reid, related a funny story that had been cut from his non-fiction book: The Truth About Luck — What I Learned on My Road Trip With Grandma, instead of his new novel.
I remarked to Michelle on our way home, that she and I should provide all the choices for next year’s book club picks as we certainly had a long list of must reads gleaned from this festival. Lol!! For sure, the stack by my bedside will grow by more than eight books!
Tonight, John Cleese and Eric Idle, brought their act, Together Again at Last … For the Very First Time, for their last performance of a three-night run in Vancouver.
I loved Monty Python’s Flying Circus, and still watch Fawlty Towers every now and then, when I’m in the mood for some belly laughs. Needless to say, I was a little bummed that I was unable to attend this performance of the two veteran comedians in what was sure to be an entertaining night of hilarity and dry English humour. Watch the Argument sketch, you’ll see what I mean.
As consolation, I cheered myself up by watching a couple of episodes of Fawlty Towers and a few of my favourite clips from the Flying Circus tv show that I found on Youtube.
Below is clip of Basil Fawlty taking out his frustration on his car in episode 5, Gourmet Night! (full episode)
In ten days, the streets will be filled with mad-eyed monsters, ghouls, zombies and a mob of storybook characters and superheroes. They will march up the steps of your front porch and demand that you give them a treat — or face the dire consequence of a trick.
On October 31st, trick or treaters will once again rule the night — dressed in their costumes and giggly with joy in the anticipation of a sackful of sugary goodies! I’m ready with my cache of candy and gum! Are you?
Okay, okay, I admit it — I am exhausted — I thought I had caught up on some much needed sleep, but it seems like I need a little more uninterrupted shut-eye. Sooooo, I’m in my jammies, I just finished a soothing cup of Sleepytime tea and I’m ready for sleep! I’m turning out the lights, now, and hitting the hay!
No, I guess not, since it seems that I am usually composing this blog post and a short poem late on Tuesday nights. I’m not sure why, but I seem to be turning into a night owl. A reluctant night owl — I’m definitely feeling tired but I also am delaying getting ready for bed…
I have to admit that I have been paying more attention to the coming American election this year than any other previous election. I have been, like many others, mortified and, yes, sickened by what is happening to our neighbouring country — but like looky-loos at an accident site — I can’t seem to look away.
But I have found someone to admire during what I consider to be one of the lowest ebbs of American history — and that person is Michelle Obama.
Her calm, reasonable tones and thoughtful, intelligent comments are a welcome voice in the dismal arena of the 2016 American election campaign.
I’ve always thought of First Lady Michelle Obama as a strong, intelligent woman who was not afraid to be genuine and to show her true self to the American public and the world. Her compassion shone through her efforts to empower young women and her work on the task force to combat obesity in American children. Mrs. Obama exemplifies the strength, confidence, and power of women that I would like to see embodied in women everywhere especially in our young women of today.
I, like, many others around the globe, listened to Michelle Obama’s speech endorsing Hillary Clinton at the Democratic Convention and heard her quiet strength of conviction, her intelligent persuasion and her reasonable assertions that “she’s with her.”
I believe she, along with her husband, is more accessible to the citizenry of America, and of the world. And she isn’t afraid to be genuine and show the fun side of FLOTUS, as when she rocked out with James Corden in carpool karaoke!
But my favourite public address, so far, was the speech that she gave in Manchester, New Hampshire on October 13, 2016, where she spoke about the qualities needed to be the President of the United States. It was the best. speech. of. this. entire. campaign.
I love dance and I love TED talks — so when I saw these talks centering on dance in different themes, I was excited and wanted to share them with you.
In this first session, science writer, John Bohannon proposes that companies and organizations use dancers instead of PowerPoint when making presentations. In this captivating talk, he illustrates how science and art can combine to educate and inform us in ways that simple slide shows cannot. Seriously, who wouldn’t want to watch a seminar where the points were presented as a choreographed dance?
Watch this beautiful and powerful, improvised performance by choreographer, Bill T. Jones and TED Fellows cellist, Joshua Roman and singer, Somi. This mesmerizing creative collaboration, entitled The Red Circle and the Blue Curtain, was performed at the TED conference in Vancouver in 2015.
I’m not a huge fan of ballroom dancing — I don’t watch shows such as Dancing With the Stars or So You Think You Can Dance?, — but I have seen some stunning examples of paired dancing on stage a few times and I can appreciate the training, talent and choreography that comprises this entertaining art form. However, I haven’t thought much about the stereotypes that this type of dancing perpetuates. Until I watched this TED talk video. This presentation by Trevor Copp and Jeff Fox, inventors of the Liquid Lead dance form, are breaking down gender roles and binaries by adapting traditional partner dancing.
These compelling videos are inspiring and compelling in their beauty and their explorations of dance. They also raise the point of the importance of the arts in all it its forms to our world. What do you think? Do you believe that the arts are integral to the well-being of our society?
It’s been a wild and crazy time out here on the”Wet Coast” as we call it (or sometimes, “Raincouver”). We’ve had Environment Canada, local meteorologists, and news stations warning us about the severe weather that was coming our way. We’ve had power outages, rain streaming down by the bucketful and fierce, blustery winds blowing through our streets. Stormy weather, for sure!
Today, though, during a lull in the severe weather system — when the rain had stopped and the wind was nothing more than a gentle breeze — I thought to myself how much I like the climate here. The rain doesn’t usually bother me much — it’s better than snow! As long as I have a good umbrella and my Bogs, I love to be out splashing about in the rain. And there is something about the sky and the air that is breathtaking after the rain stops and the sun comes out bringing light and warmth.
Even though, we are all snuggled in now, waiting for tonight’s next forecast onslaught — I’m thinking of tomorrow when the storms will have passed by and there is nothing left but light showers and big puddles. I’m thinking that — I love people who smile when it is raining!

Speaking of irritation, how irritating is it when you have to wear a pair of boots all day that make your feet feel like they're two potatoes baking in an oven? The vents in the boots help your feet to breathe. These vents will help to keep your feet drier while you’re working hard.
With a removable cushion insole, you can be sure that your feet will be comforted. The cushion insole gives your feet a soft place to rest and takes some of the “ouch” out of having to move around on rough, jagged terrain. It's also convenient to have a removable insole because you can replace it with other insoles, or just take them out to wash the boots.
Speaking of rough, jagged terrain, these are the boots to have on your feet when you’ll be traveling over all sorts of varied terrain. The Vulcanized rubber outsole not only sounds strong, it is. Vulcanization is a method that binds the durable rubber outsole together with the rest of the boot to form an extremely durable, lightweight outer shell that provides maximum protection and stability.

I searched this site for boots, army, black, US made. After 24 good years in the military, my old boots have long worn out and I missed the ankle and arch support. I ordered two pairs. My dismay was complete when I tried on a pair of these CHINESE made junk! The material looks like spray on vinyl over paper. I will order by phone next time to make sure I am getting American made quality. The American made steel toed shoes I got my wife are great or I wouldn't even consider ordering again.
My boots came in & the top lip was ripped open, very bad stitching!!! Enough with the made in China. I won't be ordering Rothco anymore, unless they make them in the US! & better leather & stitching..

In the late 90's I got involved in judging bbq contests and then I started cooking in bbq contests shortly after that. In the past ten years it evolved into a tailgate and cater business. I also manufacturer seasonings in bulk and retail packaging for restaurants and individuals.
