Hurricane warnings issued for New Orleans, Gulf Coast

Click map for latest projections. (Weather.com)

The storm that killed as many as six people in Haiti and forced the delay of the start of the Republican National Convention in Tampa is on track to hit the Gulf Coast and possibly New Orleans, forecasters said late Sunday.

Tropical Storm Isaac, with sustained winds of 60 mph, lashed the Florida Keys and is expected to intensify, gaining strength as it moves into the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and make landfall on Tuesday as possibly a Category 2 hurricane.

The projected track and timing is eerily similar to Hurricane Katrina, which devastated New Orleans and Gulf Coast in late August 2005.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal declared a state of emergency and ordered voluntary evacuations of more than a dozen parishes. Governors in Alabama and Mississippi did, too.

"I know the anxiety level is high," New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu told CNN on Sunday. "The storm is somewhat uncertain. Out of an abundance of caution we will begin to take these precautions as quickly as we can."

Landrieu added: "We are much, much better prepared structurally than before."

Hurricane warnings have been issued along the northern Gulf Coast from Morgan City, La., to Destin, Fla., including New Orleans and coastal Mississippi. Tornado warnings were issued for southern Florida late Sunday as a result of the rotating storm.

According to the National Hurricane Center, a storm surge between six and 12 feet could threaten the northern Gulf Coast if the storm makes landfall during high tide. The storm surge in Tampa Bay--the site of the Republican Convention--could be as high as four feet, forecasters said.

Heavy rain is also expected; in southern Florida and the Keys, up to 10 inches was expected Sunday.

In Haiti, at least six deaths were reported on Saturday as a result of Isaac. According to Florida Gov. Rick Scott, no deaths have been reported in the state thus far.

But on the eve of the seventh anniversary of Katrina, some weather experts are nonetheless growing weary. Brendan Loy, a blogger who predicted Katrina would be "an unprecedented cataclysm" in New Orleans, "breaching the Lake Pontchartrain levees" and causing thousands of deaths, says he had "a profound sense of d?j? vu" on Saturday when computer models showed a "sudden westward" shift--and Isaac taking dead aim at New Orleans.

"It feels like August 26, 2005?a defining day of my decade?all over again," he wrote.

Hello Sunday Morning | Blog | f***ing weirdo

As more people around me tell me that they are getting me smashed on my birthday, then tell me I am a party pooper or weak or have changed or whatever bullshit when I decline the offer, I feel a little more frustrated that people won't back the fuck off.

Let me make it final. I am absolutely not going to have one LICK of frigging alcohol on my birthday.

Not that anyone I know will read this, because doubtless they don't give a fuck about any effort to good health and wellbeing anyone in the world makes. Which, good for them, but they don't need to DISrespect it. But this is my written testament and it will be carried out.

Where I am already critisized and judged, or made to feel like a fool for having strong values (which I do NOT shove in anyone else's face, but somehow others feel threatened by the idea that their own may be challenged, just by carrying out my own convictions) I feel further adrift for not fitting in with a gaggle of drunk people.

I am no longer okay with damaging my body to fit in. And I realised this when I tried to stretch my ear again after months without a tunnel, and the pain of it, which once gave me a kick, this time made me screech like a tortured cockatoo.

I am finally creating myself for who I want to be. And it has taken alot of time to work out what that was.

  • I aim to be an ethical consumer. This is for animals, the planet and other people, however it also eliminates alot of junk so I guess it is for health, too. The amount I am "inconvenienced" for missing out on regular food/makeup etc is nothing compared to what those others suffer for the sake of coorporations making money.
  • I aim to take care of my body, and my mind, to be healthy and glowing and vibrant.
  • I aim to do as much good as I can and am capable of, in creative ways that I find fulfilling.
  • I aim to surround myself with positive and loving people, so that I can be that person as well.
  • I aim to travel and explore as much as I possibly can fit into this lifetime.

It blows my mind that because I want those things, alot of the people I know now regard me as a weirdo. When I look at the above dot points, I see them as positive things to want to be. I cannot fathom why I should be discouraged from these goals.

I want to be able to let it all go, and be patient. It is just one extra thing, I suppose, that makes me feel a little less part of it. Which is fine, I don't need a tribe. And this is part of something that has helped me to become happy, is feeling frustration or disappointment, then letting it go instead of letting it overwhelm me for too long. Hopefully I will wake up tomorrow with a fresh barrier of patience. I have been really positive the last few weeks. Everything seems acheivable. Moving forward. Wooooossaaaaaaaa. Deep breaths.

I am very much appreciating that here on HSM I can see that other people are having the same frustrations about people not just accepting their goal. That makes me feel alot less alone.

I leave you with this. Not quite the attitude I am after, but there is a cute baby involved.

Police contain gunman at Conn. university

By NBC News staff and wire reports

Police at the University of Connecticut's Avery Point campus were negotiating early Tuesday with an armed man who crawled beneath a dock on the premises.

Police said that they set up a perimeter around the man, who is alone, at around 2:15 a.m. ET.



Earlier, an alert was posted on the university's website and police ordered an evacuation of the campus after someone reported they had seen a man with a gun.

"He doesn't appear to be a threat to others, but we want to secure his safety," University of Connecticut spokeswoman Stephanie Reitz said. She said it was not clear whether he was connected to the university.

Several local police departments and a state police emergency services unit were on the scene.

Reitz said very few people were believed to be on campus because of summer vacation.

Avery Point is about 50 miles southeast of Hartford, Conn.

NBC Connecticut and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Dealing with Loneliness - Talk About Marriage

OK, need more info so sorry for the questions to follow.

How old are the two of you.

How long did you date before marriage?

Do you have a job outside of the home?

Are there any children involved from previous relationships?

What was your relationship like before you married him? How much time did the two of you spend together before marriage vs how much time now? Give an estimate in how many hours a week then and now.

If you were sexually involved before marriage, how was it then compared to now.

How many hours a week did he work before you married vs now?

It would be wise to not tell him that you hate his job. I'm sure that you don't hate his job.. you hate that he has no time for you. Those are two very different things.
